Scituate Planning Board Meeting - 10-08-2026

The Scituate Planning Board meeting of October 8, 2026, included a continued public hearing on the South River Marina development at 21 Central Avenue and 7 Marshall Avenue. The applicant requested additional time while awaiting a Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Waterways jurisdictional determination; the board voted to continue the hearing. Members also discussed a proposed zoning bylaw amendment to align the town’s nonconforming-use provisions with state law, which would require a public hearing and further review before town meeting consideration.

The board approved purchase order 2703714 for $1,751 for services related to the 9 Allen Place stormwater permit project. Members also discussed a possible $700,000 request connected to a Little League parking lot and ballfield project for a future town meeting; no funding approval or procurement action was recorded. Other discussion covered development project updates, site drainage and maintenance concerns. No contract award or bid approval was identified.
