# Scituate Planning Board Meeting - 11-12-2026

At its November 12, 2026 meeting, the Scituate Planning Board approved site-plan administrative reviews for two accessory dwelling units: an approximately 897-square-foot attached unit at 77 Neilgate Street and an approximately 899-square-foot detached unit at 68 Kent Street. Approval conditions included requirements for utilities, drainage and erosion controls, recorded covenants, and—in the 68 Kent Street case—a walkway from parking to the ADU and a plan showing utility locations. The Board also approved modifying a construction-access condition for the Hadley/Cushing school project to allow access to Cushing School via Arbor Way for demolition. The motion included limits on truck hours and staging, and required the contractor to pay for damage to streets or curbs.

The Board approved a request to release the Toll Brothers project surety, which had previously been reduced to $1 million; the transcript does not specify the surety’s original amount. It also approved purchase orders of $5,475 for the return of unexpended project funds related to 13 Carriage House Way and $169 for a legal advertisement related to the 19-unit 19 Union project. Members discussed possible zoning updates to align with state law and whether to address large data centers in a future zoning article, but no data-center policy action was taken. No new construction contract award or vendor selection was identified.
