Chase Bank site plan deliberations deferred pending Zoning Board ruling
Planning Board · Meeting of April 27, 2026
Medfield defers Chase Bank site plan vote pending parking relief decision. The Planning Board continued deliberations on R.K.

Land Use Director Maria De La Fuente and Town Counsel Mark Cerel guided the Board through conditions on snow management, parking modifications, and construction. The central dispute was whether striping could be compromised by improperly parked vehicles, potentially obstructing fire-truck circulation through the site's S-curve.
