Planning Board approves ANR at 105 North Street and releases long-dormant subdivision bond funds
Summary
The board approved an ANR reconfiguration at 105 North Street (deeding part of Lot 5 to Lot 3), scheduled a Lawson Farm site visit, and voted to return multiple inactive 53G bond-account balances to named entities after auditor review.
The Planning Board on May 14 approved an ANR plan for 105 North Street submitted on behalf of James Develis that deeds a portion of Lot 5 to Lot 3 to create 5A and 3A; town staff reported both resulting lots meet frontage and area requirements for approval-not-required status.
Presenter (speaker 6) explained two overlapping plans before the board and said the reconfigured lots meet the requirements; members asked clarifying questions about ownership and intent, and a motion to approve the ANR passed by voice vote.
Separately, the board considered a set of bond-account releases identified by new auditors as inactive (53G accounts). Staff explained these accounts held small residual balances for many years because the original entities never requested funds back. The board voted in sequence to return funds (with interest) for Forest Road Subdivision, Foxborough Comm Associates/Stop & Shop, Groveview (off Penny Terrace/South Grove), K and M Realty Trust (Piccadilly Pub), and Treetech; staff will mail checks to addresses on file and any undeliverable funds will be forwarded to the state's unclaimed-property process.
Lawson Farm: the board scheduled a site visit with Mr. Buckley for the coming Monday at 10 a.m. to inspect roadway work and to discuss final paving and steps before submitting the subdivision for street acceptance at town meeting.
Why it matters: the ANR clears the way for a lot-line reconfiguration without formal subdivision approval; releasing dormant bond funds returns dormant developer funds to claimants but requires administrative follow-up by finance; the Lawson Farm visit advances the process toward final acceptance.
Next steps: staff will process paperwork for released funds, schedule the ANR recording as appropriate, and follow up on the Lawson Farm site visit and any paving or tree issues identified.
