Planning board hears update on 'Pembroke Meadows' housing concept and wetlands workshop
Summary
Board members discussed a conceptual Pembroke Meadows housing plan that appealed to the Housing Appeals Board after a zoning denial; the Conservation Commission and planning staff will jointly review a wetlands ordinance and hold a workshop August 11 to consider buffer language and related documents.
During committee reports the Conservation Commission representative briefed the board on a conceptual plan named Pembroke Meadows, which has been appealed to the Housing Appeals Board after a zoning denial. Members circulated conceptual materials and discussed potential curb-cut/driveway issues on Pembroke Street and Broadway; the board noted that any new access likely requires state review and possibly a traffic study.
Separately, the board discussed a proposed wetlands ordinance and associated buffer guidance. Conservation had circulated multiple documents and recommended incorporating portions of Concord's wetlands buffer language; a joint meeting between the Conservation Commission and the Planning Board is scheduled for August 11 to review the wetlands document and buffers.
