2 Meetinghouse Road Realty Trust/Donald McNeice — 2 Meetinghouse Road —19-18- 
SPA-SP-V(GP, GV, CA) (continued from April 12, 2018 and July 12, 2018) 
Acting Chairman Pando opens the hearing and explains this is a continuation. Attorney 
Suzanne Matthews along with Mr. Donald McNeice states she provided a copy of the site 
plan to the Board that was presented to the Planning Board. They have not had a full 
review so they are not ready for the Zoning Board of Appeals to make a decision tonight. 
She explains they will be going back to the Planning Board on September 5, 2018. 
Attorney Matthews states they are not looking for any zoning relief. They are only in front 
of the Board for Site Plan Approval. She states this is a unique property zoned Business. 
The petitioner is doing this as a matter of right. They can construct six units. Five of them 
residential and one unit commercial. Attorney Matthews mentions this plan hasn't 
changed. Attorney Matthews explains this is not something accepted by the abutters and 
they have concerns. They have met with the abutters and tried to work out a resolution to 
construct something different. Attorney Matthews explains they could not get a consensus 
from the neighbors so the safe thing for the petitioner to do is move forward with what is 
allowed by right. If they go with the original plan, which the neighbors also didn't like, 
they would need a Variance. She explains the neighbors are very vocal so this is a safer 
road for the petitioner to go down. Chairman Pando asks when they will be finished with 
the Planning Board. End of Se 
ph tember. Chairman Pando states the next meeting would be 
September 27th or October l It . Attorney Matthews states they would like to come back on 
September 27th. Chairman Pando states he understands this is only for Site Plan Approval 
but he has driven down in the area a lot and it is a quiet area. He explains this is zoned 
Business so no Special Permit is needed but he would like to keep everything on the table 
including a Special Permit and a Variance. He explains he would like to see what the 
Planning Board comes up with. The Board will entertain anything that can be worked out 
with the neighbors. Chairman Pando states whatever is constructed there will be here for a 
long time. The Board would like to see the best outcomes for all parties involved. 
Chairman Pando has continued the matter to September 27, 2018
