Sharon Commons Changes Get First Round of ZBA Approvals

The 3-0 vote happened Wednesday night.

The Sharon Commons lifestyle center progressed closer to construction -- with more pedestrian-friendly access -- Wednesday night, more than a month after the developers withdrew their previous application. The Sharon Zoning Board of Appeals voted 3-0 for Sharon CF II LP's request for Phase 1 modifications. The developer now must return to the board regarding Phase 2, which involves attaching utilities to buildings, as well as site plan approval for the public amenities; as well as Phase 3, involving architectural issues. The new, approved Phase 1 application includes the two-lanes in and two-out access that Target requested, said attorney Robert Shelmerdine, representing the developers.

Sharon Commons Returns to ZBA on July 25

Developers seek modification of Phase 1 approval.

Sharon Commons' developers will again seek the Sharon Zoning Board of Appeals' support for changes to their plans, this time on July 25.

Modified Sharon Commons Proposal to ZBA in Works

The town, Target and the developer are working on it, Heitin says.

Town, Target and Sharon Commons representatives are drafting a modified proposal to the Sharon Zoning Board of Appeals designed to address the ZBA's traffic concerns and the retailer's needs, Selectmen Chairman William Heitin said today.

More detailed plans for Sharon Commons' access road could reach selectmen soon.
