During the meeting, Penrose LLC requested a continuance of the hearing to February 5, 2026. The board approved this request, acknowledging the need for more time to consider the project’s complexities. The extension also allows the public hearing process to remain open until May 2026, providing the community with ample opportunity to participate in discussions about the development.

The proposed project, which has been postponed multiple times since August 2025, involves the construction of 42 dwelling units across eight structures on a 3.57-acre parcel in the R60 zoning district. The developers are seeking variance waivers from local zoning bylaws to proceed with the project, which aims to address housing needs in the area.

Attorney Andrew Singer, representing Penrose, confirmed the agreement to extend the deadline for closing the public hearing, which was originally set for February 9, 2026.
