6 issues in development
Peirce residence at 3 Cottage Lane — stormwater and ZBA referral
A homeowner's project at 3 Cottage Lane is close to moving to the Zoning Board of Appeals for variances, but stormwater details need to be squared away first with the town engineer.
First Purdys building renovation at 509 Route 22
The former Purdys building is being fixed up for office tenants, and the board approved the building work with a 'China White' color scheme. The catch: no certificate of occupancy until the owner delivers an updated site plan showing parking, equipment areas and signage.
Grant Road LLC application at 658 Grant Road
The public hearing for Grant Road LLC's project at 658 Grant Road was pushed to December 2, so residents wanting to weigh in have another month.
Verizon Equipment Upgrade at 73 Crosby Road
Verizon wants to install remote radio units in an equipment shelter on Delancey Road. The fixes are minor and the board expects to be able to approve it at the next meeting.
Lobdell House porch repair
The Capital Planning Committee suggested the town think harder about whether Lobdell House is the right home for town offices, since fixing the porch, windows, insulation, and roof could total around $400,000. The board will consider shorter-term fixes and other options.
Delancey Hall renovations and move-in
The town will seek sealed bids — not just quotes — for interior painting of DeLancey Hall, expected around $35,000, with performance bonds added to protect the town.
