SHERBORN — Planning Board prepares warrant articles for April 28 town meeting. The Sherborn Planning Board is preparing to present a stormwater management bylaw at its April 28 Annual Town Meeting to address recurring Lake Street flooding, with Co-Chair Stefani Harrison delivering the presentation. The board also reviewed progress on a major zoning bylaw overhaul with consultants that aims to consolidate 41 scattered special permit categories into logical groupings covering residential, community, agricultural, commercial, and industrial uses.
Discussion centered on distinguishing between administrative approvals for routine business activities and special permits for land use compatibility issues, including questions about whether standard retail and restaurant uses should require permits in appropriate business districts.
