Zoning Board · Meeting of August 6, 2026
Sherborn's Zoning Board of Appeals voted 3-0 to deem Coolidge Crossing's redesign a substantial change, reopening the 40B project's comprehensive permit to public hearing. Chair Zachary McBride, joined by members Todd Labbe and Jon Hammond, set the reopened hearing for September 8 at 7 p.m. after hearing Kennedy Wilson representative Will Adams, engineer Liz Clark of Tighe & Bond, attorney Stephanie Kiefer and architect Tim Schultz detail a 12-unit increase to 132 units, a $9 million to $10 million water and sewer investment, and a shift to flat roofs for Passive House certification. McBride noted the developer had skipped a required town-planner review and never sought a Board of Health water-quality waiver.
"I'm inclined to open this up as a substantial change," McBride said. Abutters John Harvgrave and Bob Murchison both urged reopening the hearing, with Murchison calling stormwater peer review "critical."
