The board approved a backyard cabana at 5 Greenmeadow Road with strict conditions on landscaping, irrigation, and maintenance to screen it from neighbors—despite vocal objections from nearby residents who called it oversized and harmful to the town's character. Two new single-family homes on Hathaway Road moved forward with landscape plans headed to the Architectural Review Board.
Meeting outcomes
- 5 Greenmeadow Road cabana approved with roof lowered 18 inches (to 12 feet), Emerald Green Arborvitae screening, professional drip irrigation, and year-round maintenance required; board skeptical of landscape architect's vague language about plant survival in tight space but imposed enforceable conditions and prohibited dwelling use; loud neighbor opposition citing oversized structure and property value concerns.
- 26 Hathaway Road and 28 Hathaway Road new single-family homes presented together as part of three-lot subdivision on R-10 parcels; applicant Gregory Holcomb showed modern and colonial designs with stormwater mitigation; landscape plans to go to Architectural Review Board before final submission to the Planning Board.
- 47 Interlaken second-floor master bedroom addition approved with same design as 2024 (never built); siding changing to white vinyl, roof and brick matching existing, windows and trim finishes specified; roof material condition from prior ARB review carries forward.
