Sudbury ZBA Meeting Update: The May 11 meeting focused heavily on administrative transitions and procedural delays for upcoming developments. Most notably, the Zoning Board of Appeals is facing a leadership change following the resignation of Chair John Reardon. The board is currently operating under interim leadership, and a decision regarding a permanent successor is expected during the June meeting. Additionally, the board voted unanimously to advance Ian Henchy to full member status, noting that his professional background as a land use attorney is a specialized asset the board requires.

This is a significant case involving the demolition and replacement of a dwelling on a non-conforming lot—an issue that can impact neighborhood density and lot compliance.

The hearing has been rescheduled for the June meeting. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/sudbury/zoning-board/2026-05-11/ #MeetingWatch #SudburyMA
