Zoning board approves 4×8 sign for Rowan Greens; developer previews 36‑unit condominium project
Summary
The board granted a special sign permit for a 32 sq ft project sign at 119 Moore Street and heard an update on the Rowan Greens condominium project: 36 units (9 affordable three‑bedroom units), temporary sign conditions, non‑illuminated display, EV charger detail removed from current drawings and an anticipated summer start with first sales in roughly 6–9 months.
Rowan Greens LLC received a special sign permit from the Foxborough Zoning Board of Appeals on June 25 to install a 4‑by‑8 (32 square‑foot) project sign at the previously permitted comprehensive‑permit site at 119 Moore Street.
Bruce Wheeler (Rowan Greens/Habitat Communities) and project engineer Bill Buckley (Bay Colony Group) told the board the sign is intended for marketing the 36‑unit condominium community and that the sign location and size are similar to temporary signs allowed in past comprehensive‑permit matters. The board approved a three‑point condition set: dimensions not to exceed 4 feet by 8 feet; sign used solely to advertise the sale of the residential units (design as attached as an exhibit); and removal within 30 days of sale of all units. Illumination is prohibited.
The applicant also presented updated architectural drawings and a construction timeline. Michael McKay, project architect, described a development of 36 units on roughly five acres with a mix of 24 two‑bedroom and 10 three‑bedroom market units; nine three‑bedroom units are reserved as affordable units. McKay said the drawings align with the previously approved concept; the EV charging shown in earlier drafts was removed from the current submittal and will be addressed in future permit submissions. Wheeler said the developer expects to start site work later this summer and estimated six months from foundation backfill to first closings (roughly 6–9 months to initial sales). The board and staff noted outstanding regulatory‑agreement items to be resolved with the building department before permits issue.
Why it matters: The comprehensive‑permit project adds for‑sale condominiums and a mandated affordable component; the sign permit allows on‑site marketing while regulatory and building‑permit processes continue.
