Rosebay affordable housing hearing focuses on traffic, parking, and developer vetting.
Zoning Board of Appeals · Meeting of January 29, 2026
Medfield Zoning Board continues hearing on 45-unit age-restricted affordable housing at 30 Pound Street. Traffic engineer Scott Thornton projected minimal peak-hour trip generation (9 AM, 11 PM), but Chair John J. McNicholas requested actual vehicle registration and count data from a comparable Rockland property to validate the low estimates.
Peer reviewer Tetra Tech identified outstanding items including crash analysis, sight distance plans, speed studies, and empirical parking demand verification. Select Board member Eileen Murphy raised developer selection and Master Development Agreement concerns; applicant counsel Hannah Kilson committed to providing EOHLC's conditional approval letter documenting RFP review and site control determination. Hearing continued to March 12, 2026.
