Board accepts withdrawal of Cranberry Highway site‑plan application; clarifies variance and resubmission rules
Summary
The Planning Board accepted the applicant’s request to withdraw site plan application 26‑92838 (Cranberry Highway), clarified that the ZBA variance runs with the land and that identical applications cannot be refiled for two years unless materially changed.
The Wareham Planning Board accepted on June 22 the withdrawal of site‑plan review application 26‑92838 for Cranberry Highway and closed the public hearing on that application.
The board and staff clarified legal consequences: a variance granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals runs with the land and may have a statutory sunset; a withdrawn application tied specifically to the submitted project cannot be resubmitted in the same form for two years unless the new submission demonstrates a material change. Board members said a different project or substantive revision could be accepted earlier.
The board voted unanimously to accept the withdrawal and formally closed the public hearing for that application.
