ZBA approves Kane Built’s rebuild at 252 Mossman Road with vegetation and lighting conditions
Summary
The Zoning Board approved a special permit allowing demolition and construction of an approx. 4,395 sq ft house on a preexisting nonconforming lot at 252 Mossman Road, with conditions to preserve vegetation, limit tree removal, require dark‑sky neighbor‑sensitive lighting, and strict adherence to submitted plans.
The Sudbury Zoning Board of Appeals granted a Special Permit on March 2 allowing Kane Built, Inc. to demolish an existing 1950s house and construct an approximately 4,395 square‑foot house (about 3,600 square feet of living area) on a preexisting nonconforming lot at 252 Mossman Road.
Construction manager Heather Dorsey and attorney David Himmelberger presented plans showing the house would be moved further back on the lot (proposed setback ~137 feet compared with the existing 54.75 feet), retain the existing driveway, and not add curb cuts. Minutes describe the lot as 68,000+ square feet with only about 150 feet of frontage where 180 feet are required under current standards.
Board members said they supported the increased setback and improved site fit but requested conditions to protect neighbors and character: preserve vegetation along the property line and rear, limit tree removal, require dark‑sky and neighbor‑sensitive exterior lighting, and strict compliance with submitted plans with any material deviations to require board approval. Chair John Riordan made a motion to approve the Special Permit with those conditions; the motion passed by unanimous roll call.
The board’s conditions were recorded in the minutes and will be enforced through the town’s permitting and inspection processes.
