Two Route 5 site‑plan applications expected; board flags possible brownfield at Byrne Dairy 'Y'
Summary
Councilor Todd Platten reported two site‑plan applications are expected in January 2026: conversion of the old garage at the Route 5 'Y' by Byrne Dairy into a car‑detail shop (noted as a possible brownfield), and a lot‑leveling project east of Kennedy's to prepare land for sale and development.
During committee reports, Councilor Todd Platten said the Planning Board expects two site‑plan applications in January 2026. One proposal would convert the old garage at the Route 5 'Y' by Byrne Dairy into a car‑detail shop; Platten noted the site "might be contaminated" and characterized it as a potential brownfield that the Planning Board will need to consider.
A separate Route 5 proposal, east of Kennedy’s, would level the lot for sale and future development. Platten also reported the Beldeen property will be submitting to the Planning Board shortly and that assessors are experiencing permit‑entry issues that he will raise with town staff. These items were reported as planning and permitting updates; no formal votes or applications were taken at this meeting.
