Board of Appeals

The HCAM Board of Appeals held a meeting on July 9, 2026, primarily to discuss a permit petition for variances filed by F&S Realty LLC concerning four separate lots at 0 West Main Street, Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The petitioner sought variances related to lot frontage requirements and access via a reserved common driveway easement. Due to the complexity of the project involving multiple lots and easements, the petitioner requested a continuance to allow for better public and board understanding, particularly regarding the easements and large plan sets. The board discussed scheduling options and agreed to continue the hearing to August 12, 2026, with plans to hold a hybrid meeting to accommodate both in-person and remote participation. The board also emphasized the need for clear procedural adherence and proper notification of abutters. No contract awards, budget allocations, or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
