Planning Board Approves Fence Between Lombardo Loam and Gravel and Liberty Fields
At its meeting on June 3, the Planning Board heard and approved a proposal by Mark Lombardo of Lombardo Loam and Gravel Co. Inc at 1160 Liberty Square Road for a fence as required by a condition of a 2018 Site Plan Approval Decision.
The 2018 Decision requires a fence “prior to use of material screener at the property” and instructs the applicant to “work with the Planning Board to finalize the details of the fence location and material and the screening plantings…”
The applicant proposed a seven-foot chain-link fence with a black wind screen to be built along the southeast and southwest property lines, with plantings along the fence.
After discussion of the purpose and optimal location of the fence, Planning Board members and the applicant agreed on a slightly revised location of the fence and the plantings, which Town Planner Alec Wade memorialized before the Board voted to approve Lombardo’s proposal as amended.
The Lombardo Loam and Gravel Co. property is adjacent to town-owned Liberty Fields, which has a variety of fields, courts, and a new playground.
The Board then re-opened a public hearing on an application recently submitted by Stamski & McNary, Inc., on behalf of property owner French Brothers Boxborough, for site plan approval for a three-unit trade shop building at 100 Codman Hill Road.
The applicant presented an updated application intended to respond to the Board’s questions and requests made at their last meeting on May 20. The applicant also made a verbal request for an exemption from the Earth Removal bylaw. The applicant was asked to make a formal waiver request in writing and the hearing was continued to June 17.
The Planning Board then moved into executive session to discuss strategy with respect to litigation per MGL Ch. 30A §21(a)(3) (Appeal of Subdivision, Special Permit, and Site Plan Review decisions, 242/244 Adams Place).
