Weston Planning Board closes library hearing, advances three residential site reviews

WESTON — September 27, 2017 — Weston Planning Board advances old library renovation toward bidding and continues three residential site plan reviews to October 11. The board closed a stalled public hearing on Merriam Street sidewalk plans and heard a detailed update from civil engineer Jim DeBellis of DeBellis Ream on the old library project, which received Conservation Commission approval the prior evening and is targeting bid documents around October 4. Key unresolved questions include the final configuration of the School Street parking lot, septic leach field placement, and site lighting — with DeBellis noting the design has shifted repeatedly across multiple committees: "If you can all agree, we can design it." The board continued site plan reviews for two new houses at 101 and 107 Concord Road and a redesigned house at 441 Glen Road, where applicant Mark Kaplan volunteered to fund relocation of a shared driveway to create a green buffer between his property and a neighbor's at 425 Glen Road. The board unanimously approved a sign change for the Mobil station at 88 Boston Post Road, allowing the operator to substitute ATM and lottery text for diesel pricing, and voted to approve a Certificate of Action for 100 Ridgeway Road.
