Planning Board 7-13-2026

The Franklin Town Planning Board held a meeting on July 13, 2026, primarily focused on the preliminary subdivision plan for Elwynn Estates at 2660 Pleasant Street. The board reviewed the proposed layout, including road design, waterline extension, drainage, and requested waivers related to right-of-way grade, cul-de-sac length, and sidewalk placement. The applicant presented the plan and addressed questions about topography, erosion control, driveway locations, and potential impacts on nearby water infrastructure. The board discussed the need for additional detailed engineering and stormwater calculations to be submitted with the definitive plan. After deliberation, the board voted to approve the preliminary subdivision plan with the requested waivers, noting that final approval would depend on further detailed submissions. Additionally, the board scheduled their next meeting for August 10, 2026.
