Planning Board approves bylaw amendments; grants site plan for Great Road home.

Planning Board · Meeting of March 4, 2026

Shirley Planning Board unanimously approved four bylaw amendments for the May Annual Town Meeting, including a Public Street Trees Bylaw, Stonewall Bylaw, campaign political-sign restrictions, and amendments to three commercial zoning districts to allow automobile and equipment sales and rentals. Vice Chair William Oelfke moved the approval, which passed 5-0. The board also unanimously granted a site-plan approval and special permit for a single-family home on Map 72, Parcel A 1.3 on Parker Road in the North Shirley Village Business District, with seven specified trees to be planted--two softwoods with arborvitae on the north boundary, two hardwoods on the south, and three hardwoods along the frontage--and a two-foot stone wall reconstructed along the lot frontage to mimic historic walls along Parker Road.
