Mattapoisett Planning Board — April 6, 2026

The Mattapoisett Planning Board met on April 6 to hear multiple development and site plan proposals. The board opened by granting a continuance to May 4 for a preliminary subdivision application at 182 North Street (Kindred Estates), proposed by Stephen Cabral on property owned by Dennis Mahoney and Sons. The board then reviewed and unanimously approved a roadway improvement plan for 2 Whitetail Run presented by Jamie Bissonnette of Zenith Consulting Engineers on behalf of Jason Fredette, which includes extending a 24-foot-wide gravel private way with a hammerhead turnaround and drainage basin.

The board also held a public hearing for a site plan review of a proposed 16,800-square-foot pre-engineered metal building for the Mattapoisett Water and Sewer Department at 15 Industrial Drive. Superintendent Henri Renauld and engineer John Gregory of Tata & Howard outlined the estimated $6 million facility, intended to consolidate operations, equipment storage, and staff offices while eliminating off-site rental leases. Following in-depth technical questions from board member Nathan Ketchel regarding stormwater runoff modeling, total suspended solids removal, catch basin details, and floor drain oil-water separators, the hearing was continued to May 4 to allow the applicant's engineering team to provide supplementary data.

In routine administrative business, the board voted unanimously to reappoint Janice Robbins as the Planning Board representative to SRPEDD. The board approved the meeting minutes from March 2 (with one abstention) and March 16 before voting unanimously to adjourn until May 4.
