You may remember that several months ago, I wrote a post about the Meadowbrook Acres subdivision. I explained that it was not something that was proposed to be built, but it was only proposed in order to freeze the the zoning as provided for by Massachusetts Zoning Law (Chapter 40A, Section 6).
Well, the Preliminary Plan was approved by the Planning Board back in September. That froze the zoning for 7 months. A Definitive Subdivision had to be submitted and approved in order to extend the zoning freeze to 8 years. The Definitive Subdivision Plan has now been submitted. It needs to follow all of the same rules as a real subdivision. So there will be a legal notice in the newspaper and abutters have been notified, but please be aware that this is just part of the zoning freeze process. The Plan is essentially the same as the Preliminary Subdivision Plan showing 2 lots and a short cul-de-sac but now it is fully engineered. A public hearing has been scheduled for April 6 at 7:30.
The Coolidge Crossing 40B apartment project (for part of the same land as Meadowbrook Acres is moving through the comprehensive permit process with the ZBA and the next hearing on that project is on March 31.
For more information about the zoning freeze process, please see the earlier post about Meadowbrook Acres.
