Sherborn Board of Health Defers C&L Frosty Permit, Approves Farm Road Subdivision Plans

Board of Health · Meeting of January 21, 2026

Sherborn Board of Health defers C&L Frosty food permit and formally designates 65 Farm Road as a single septic project at 1,980 gallons per day. The board, co-chaired by Daryl Beardsley and Julie Dreyfus, continued its review of the seasonal restaurant's long-standing plumbing code violation — a missing handicap-accessible public restroom — to the February 11 meeting, where all parties must return with a plan and timeline or face a conditional non-renewal of the food permit, with the operator's season reportedly beginning in mid-to-late February. At 65 Farm Road, the board approved revised plans for lots 4B and 5B and a new well and septic plan for lot 6, then voted 5-0 to recognize all three as a project totaling 1,980 gallons per day — just 20 gallons below the 2,000-gallon threshold that triggers a mandatory Environmental Health Impact Report under local regulations.

Member Rebecca Hunnewell, M.D. abstained on lot 4B and lot 6 approvals and voted against a 4-1 well setback variance at 109 Nason Hill Road, where an existing well now sits only 18 feet from a property line after the owners subdivided and sold the abutting lot, short of the required 25-foot setback.
