Planning Board - Oct 20, 2026
A 13-lot subdivision of the old Windward School site is moving toward preliminary approval. Neighbors' attorney asked about construction traffic on Windward Avenue, home setbacks, and whether aging infrastructure can handle the new homes; the engineer said runoff will actually decrease because large parking lots are being replaced with lawns.

The former Windward School property could become 13 new single-family homes. The board agreed to act as lead environmental agency and set a September 22 public hearing, so neighbors will get a chance to weigh in on traffic, stormwater, rock removal, and tree replacement.
