Alex Svensson and Emily Collins reported that the Westford Planning Board met May 4 to review multiple development proposals. One highlighted item was a scenic-road permit request tied to rehabilitation work on the Stony Brook Bridge at 58 Stony Brook Road; the scope discussed on air included tree removal and relocation of a stone wall.
The board also continued hearings related to properties near the ski area on Powers Road and Robins Road, where applicants seek subdivision and stormwater management permits to create three lots. Developers pursuing approvals at 219 Littleton Road presented plans for a large mixed-use residential project; hosts said plans included construction of two residential buildings, 300 units total, with garages, parking and landscaping.
A proposed five-lot subdivision at 35 West Prescott Street was continued to May 18 at the applicant's request. In general business the board discussed matters related to 37 Powers Road, including draft decisions, covenant requests and amendments to a long-standing development agreement. Board members also raised the possibility of conducting hybrid meetings in the future.
