Residents raised specific issues: sand removal volumes, traffic, Wampanoag artifacts, school capacity, vague MOU language using words like 'pursue' and 'consider,' and access via Hedges Pond Road. Board members stated the waiver was the only financially viable option within the 120-day window.

The board reiterated the town remains in safe harbor and the MOU requires 10% affordable units plus 40% open space. No reconsideration occurred. Earth Removal Bylaw Committee continues reviewing incidental sand removal rules. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/plymouth/select-board/2026-06-23/

Longer-form draft.
At the June 23 Select Board meeting, the board devoted substantial time to the Landers/Sheridan development and its earlier conditional waiver of the right of first refusal. The waiver had already been executed and recorded at the Registry of Deeds. The item was not on the published agenda, so residents received no prior notice that this high-impact decision would be discussed or defended. Multiple residents questioned the MOU's enforceability, limits on sand extraction, trail access, traffic effects on Cedarville precinct roads, and protection of potential Wampanoag artifacts. The board responded that the waiver was the only legally and financially feasible path within the required timeline and that the town is currently in safe harbor from unfriendly 40B projects. The recorded MOU will now guide future Planning Board and ZBA permitting. The same meeting also covered the board's decision not to opt into the state's late-night liquor sales pilot and resident questions on the five-year budget forecast assumptions. Monthly financial reports are scheduled to begin in August. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/plymouth/select-board/2026-06-23/ #MeetingWatch #PlymouthMA
