Shrewsbury Planning Board advances major mixed-use projects while approving a contractor's yard. The Board unanimously approved site plan for MFJF LLC's 11,200-square-foot contractor's yard at 703-715 Hartford Turnpike and waived filing fees, citing the applicant's pivot away from recycling in deference to town initiatives. Three major continued hearings for June 4 include WJC Enterprises' 50,000-square-foot car dealership (16.3 acres, 600 parking spaces), a 525 Hartford Turnpike mixed-use project with 250 units, and Spagtacular LLC's dual-site development proposing 270 residential units with commercial space and a supermarket.
A proposed subdivision modification at 0 Greenbriar Drive failed on a 2-2 board tie, with members citing concerns over deviations from prior density agreements. The Board unanimously recommended zoning amendments (Article 30) to remove outdated summer house use and align accessory dwelling unit provisions with state law.
