Applicant withdraws garage special-permit request for 151 Horse Pond Road
Summary
At its Dec. 1, 2025 meeting the Sudbury Zoning Board of Appeals voted 4-0 to accept withdrawal without prejudice of a special-permit application from Ananda Chakravarty to build a garage on an already non-conforming lot at 151 Horse Pond Road; the board cited statutory and bylaw provisions tied to nonconforming lots.
Chair John Riordan convened the Sudbury Zoning Board of Appeals's Dec. 1, 2025 virtual meeting and the board accepted a motion to withdraw without prejudice a special-permit application for 151 Horse Pond Road. The application, filed by Ananda Chakravarty as applicant and owner, sought relief under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 40A, Section 9 and Town of Sudbury Zoning Bylaw sections 2440 and 6200 to construct a garage on an already non-conforming lot.
Board member Jennifer Pincus moved to withdraw the application without prejudice; Clerk Frank Riepe seconded the motion. The board then voted by roll call: Chair John Riordan 'Aye, Clerk Frank Riepe 'Aye, Board member Jennifer Pincus 'Aye, and Board member Alex Dorjets 'Aye. The motion carried, which formally ends active consideration of Case 25-31 but allows the applicant to refile in the future because the withdrawal was without prejudice.
The application referenced MGL Chapter 40A, Section 9 and Town of Sudbury Zoning Bylaw sections 2440 and 6200 in support of the requested special permit. The minutes record the withdrawal and the unanimous roll-call vote; no additional conditions, findings, or comments from staff are recorded in the meeting minutes on Dec. 1.
The board did not set a next step for the property in these minutes; the applicant may choose to submit a new filing or request a different form of relief at a subsequent hearing. For full procedural details, the board directs interested parties to the complete meeting transcript and the board's filing records.
