# Whitman Planning Board August 25, 2026

The Whitman Planning Board met on August 25, 2026. It reviewed a site plan proposal for 342 Bedford Street, the Northeastern Savings Bank parcel, for a coffee shop and fast-casual restaurant. The applicant described 64 proposed parking spaces and requested a parking reduction, along with zoning relief for the front-yard setback; members discussed parking layout, traffic queues, driveway access, and coordination with MassDOT. No vote or approval on this proposal was recorded in the transcript.

The board also considered a request concerning an existing dwelling unit at 22 Lzel Street, where the applicants said they had understood the rear structure’s residential use to be permitted. Members discussed the property’s prior approvals and the circumstances of the purchase and renovation. A motion for favorable action to the Zoning Board of Appeals was made and seconded, and members indicated approval. No procurement activity, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
