The Franklin Planning Board held a meeting on June 22, 2026, focusing on several procurement and development-related matters. Key discussions included the approval of a bond release for Tanglewood Estates, releasing $6,155.46 after confirming all roadwork and infrastructure were completed and recorded. The board reviewed a partial Form H occupancy request for 230 East Central Street, addressing outstanding site improvements such as landscaping, bollards for safety, and fencing compliance, with a motion to withhold occupancy of five units until completion of these items. They also approved a lot combination plan for Longhill Road and accepted a withdrawal of a subdivision modification application for 900 Washington Street. Lastly, the board approved a site plan modification for 555 King Street, reducing the building size significantly and confirming all conservation and contractor driveway issues were resolved. Motions were passed with roll call votes on bond releases, lot approvals, and covenants, reflecting ongoing oversight of capital improvement projects and infrastructure completion tied to development bonds and occupancy permits.
