Needham Planning Board endorses ANR plan for 91 Wellesley Street

The Needham Planning Board unanimously endorsed an approval-not-required (ANR) plan for property at 91 Wellesley Street at its Feb. 3 meeting. Planning staff told the board the plan had been reviewed by planning and engineering and recommended endorsement.

Daniel Driscoll, the licensed surveyor representing the property owner, introduced himself and said he had prepared the ANR plan for the parcel. Planning staff (Lee) told the board the last remaining requirement — frontage on a public way — had been satisfied and that engineering had no outstanding concerns.

Board members recorded no substantive questions during discussion and moved to endorse the plan. A motion to endorse was made and seconded and carried with all members voting Aye.

The endorsement allows the property owner to proceed with the next steps established under local land‑development procedures; the board did not record any conditions attached to the endorsement.

The planning board’s action was procedural and does not, in itself, change zoning for the property. Any future development that requires permits will return to the board or other permitting authorities for review.
