Fall River Planning Board tables Spring Street reconstruction pending soil tests

The Fall River Planning Board voted unanimously July 8 to table consideration of the Spring Street roadway reconstruction plan so the applicant can complete soil testing and provide additional drainage information.

A committee member told the board the applicant requested another continuance and has soil testing scheduled for July 16; the board had asked for test pits and drainage details. Chair John Ferrera seconded the motion to table. The motion passed by voice vote, recorded 5–0.

The item was introduced under the board’s review of a plan filed under City ordinance Section 66‑185. The chair noted the petition had been tabled previously at meetings on April 13, May 13 and June 10 at the applicant’s request.

The board’s action pauses formal consideration until the board receives the testing and drainage results; the matter is expected to return for decision at the August meeting. The recorded vote was a unanimous table (5–0). The transcript indicates roll call names were read during voting, but the meeting audio transcript does not permit an unambiguous mapping of speaker voice IDs to individual member names, so this report presents the certified tally rather than attributing individual yes votes to specific voices.
