Planning Board continues Chase Bank approval hearing, schedules site visit
Planning Board · Meeting of March 2, 2026
Medfield Planning Board continues Chase Bank site plan review, schedules site visit. The Board heard updates on lighting and snow management for the proposed 3,293-square-foot Chase Bank building at Shaw's Plaza and continued the hearing to March 23 at 7:30 p.m., scheduling a March 10 site visit to assess emergency vehicle circulation. Snow management drew substantial debate, with the Board seeking written plans defining thresholds for hauling snow off-site and identifying how parking loss during storms—estimated at 40 to 50 spaces—would affect plaza operations.
The applicant indicated plans to share alternative parking-lot layouts for Board consideration. In separate action, the Board voted unanimously to recommend Associate Member Michael Gendron for appointment as a full Planning Board member, filling the vacancy created by Vice Chair Seth Meehan's resignation.
