Planning Board approves ANR and two site plans; continues 25 Connector Road hearing
Summary
On Aug. 20 the Planning Board endorsed a confirmatory ANR for 84, approved site‑plan reviews for 80 Turnpike Road (Albright Auto Group) and 101–105 Flanders Road, and continued the special‑permit hearing for 25 Connector Road to Sept. 7.
The Town of Westborough Planning Board took several formal actions at its Aug. 20 meeting.
The board endorsed a confirmatory ANR for a lot at 84 (plan titled "plan of land of 84 in Westborough, MA" prepared by Connerstone Engineering, dated 08/06/2024). Planner Jenny Gingras advised the plan confirms frontage, lot area and lot lines and contains no changes to the parcel. A board member moved to endorse the ANR and another seconded; the board approved the endorsement by voice vote.
The board approved a site‑plan review for 80 Turnpike Road for Albright Auto Group, subject to standard conditions read by the planner. Conditions include recording the decision at the registry of deeds, limiting the permit to the most recent plan (revision date 08/16/2024), applicant responsibility for permit costs and outside consultant fees, DPW review and approval of shop drawings and stormwater measures, daily construction cleanup and erosion control measures, locked gate rapid‑access key box, fire hydrant painting, and landscaping completion prior to certificate of occupancy. Applicant representative Barry Atchison (WDA Design Group) confirmed that the applicant had reviewed the conditions.
The board also approved a site‑plan review for 101–105 Flanders Road (Orlando Construction), subject to conditions including recording at the registry, compliance with the revised plan dated 07/12/2024, dumpster placement as shown on plan, required shop drawings to DPW, water connection permit and plumbing plan review, stormwater permit compliance and certification of an infiltration system by a professional engineer prior to occupancy.
For the special permit and site‑plan application for 25 Connector Road (Avia Brothers/Research Drive LLC), the board accepted the developer presentation and continued the hearing to Sept. 7 to allow follow‑up on engineering peer‑review items, test pit clarification, and outstanding affordability negotiations; no permit action was taken on that application.
Motions recorded in the transcript did not include roll‑call vote tallies; all listed approvals were made by voice vote.
