The Board approved the modification with 10 conditions. However, critical questions remain: the developer must still provide proof of legal easement rights for road construction on town land and an updated water study to verify pressure for the new units.

While the Board cited the legal difficulty of fighting 40B projects, the community is left watching closely to see if these 'conditions' actually protect our streets and water supply. #PlymouthMA #CivicAccountability https://meetingwatch.org/ma/plymouth/zoning-board-of-appeals/2026-03-23/

Longer-form draft.
At the March 23 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting, the Board moved forward with a substantial modification to the Alden's Reach 40B project, approving the addition of 12 residential units and over 2 acres of land. During the hearing, residents raised significant concerns that went beyond simple preference. Neighbors pointed to increased traffic on Kathleen, Donna, and Andrew's Way, potential strain on our aging water infrastructure, and the heightened wildfire risk due to the project's proximity to the Town Forest. There were also questions regarding whether the developer has the legal right to use town-owned land (Lot 7R2) for road construction. The Board approved the request with ten conditions intended to mitigate these impacts, including requirements for road repaving and neighbor screening. However, the developer is still required to submit an updated water study to prove the existing pipes can handle the additional load and must provide proof of legal easement rights for the proposed secondary access road. As these developments continue, it is vital to monitor whether these conditions are strictly enforced to protect our community's infrastructure and safety. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/plymouth/zoning-board-of-appeals/2026-03-23/ #MeetingWatch #PlymouthMA
