Planning Board sends water resource zoning amendment to May Town Meeting

SUDBURY — February 25, 2023 — Sudbury Planning Board sends water resource zoning amendment to May Town Meeting. The board on Jan. 25 voted unanimously to forward an amendment to the Water Resource Protection Overlay District allowing uses permitted in underlying districts to be authorized by special permit within Zone 2 and Zone 3, beating the Jan. 31 warrant submission deadline. Members also accepted a perpetual stormwater maintenance surety bond for the Cold Brook Crossing apartments at 435 and 437 Cold Brook Drive and continued the Bonnybrook Estates subdivision hearing to Feb. 22. Chair Stephen Garvin pressed for stronger pole-removal and wire-consolidation language in the Select Board's draft Wireless Services Overlay District bylaw, called for an AASHTO sight-line citation and questioned text that "discouraged" underground installation. Vice Chair John Sugrue agreed to test the state's new MBTA Communities compliance model tool with Planning Director Adam Duchesneau before a joint meeting with the Select Board.
