Planning Board imposes deadlines on Village Commons developer

1979

WESTBOROUGH – Developer Farooq Ansari has some deadlines to meet.

During its meeting on Aug. 22, the Planning Board imposed a Sept. 1 deadline to finish landscaping, relocate some construction debris and complete other tasks at Village Commons located at 1 Gleason St.

In addition, Ansari has until Nov. 1 to complete paving and install curb cuts.

Residents at Village Commons have complained for months about unfinished details, including the clubhouse.

Director of Planning Jenny Gingras said an inspection of the site will be conducted “soon after” the Sept. 1 deadline. If the work has not been completed, the town could levy fines of up to $300 per day until the work is done.

Updates

Planning Board Chair Mark Silverberg requested a reduction to the Master Plan Implementation Committee from 15 to 13 members.

He said it’s been hard meeting quorum. With 15 members, the quorum is eight; with 13 members, the quorum is seven.

The board approved the change.

The board approved an approval not required plan for 180-182 Turnpike Road, which will become a Hyundai dealership.

The two sites will be merged into one, and the buildings will be demolished.

There will also be a 20-foot easement for the BWALT trail.

The board will discuss these plans further at their next meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 5.
