New Planning Board Comments on Westborough Woods Would Go to ZBA

Any further comments by the Westborough Planning Board on the proposed Westborough Woods housing project, “other than those made on our behalf by the town planner,” will “be in direct form to the zoning board of appeals,” planning board Chairman Lester Hensley said Tuesday night.

Hensley said that “I think the public was a little bit misled by the article in the Patch” on Monday, “Planning Board to Discuss Westborough Woods.”

The story stated that “The Westborough Planning Board on Tuesday night will discuss the Westborough Woods housing project, proposed for Route 9 near Otis Street. The topic is on the agenda under old business/new business without a specific time.”

Hensley said the discussion would be “not a formal hearing,” but rather “an internal discussion among planning board members.”

The planning board’s agenda, found here, reads: “Old Business/New Business: Discussion of Application for 346 Turnpike Road.” The address is the proposed Westborough Woods site.
