Dartmouth Planning Board Defers Parking Rules Vote, Continues State Road Permit Hearing
Dartmouth Planning Board votes to continue a State Road special permit hearing and conditionally approves a Little River Road lot reconfiguration.
Planning Board · Meeting of January 5, 2026
Dartmouth Planning Board votes to continue a State Road special permit hearing and conditionally approves a Little River Road lot reconfiguration. The board, meeting virtually on January 5, voted 4-0 on both actions, with Chair Nicholas Psichopaidas reading into the record a continuance request from Zenith Consulting and Engineers to push hearing PSP-25-2 at 813 State Road to January 26. Vice Chair Lorri-Ann Miller flagged inconsistent ownership names across three pages of the Approval Not Required application for 158 Little River Road, prompting the board to condition its 4-0 approval on Assistant Planning Director Ross Cuddy confirming consistent ownership before endorsement.
The meeting ended early after Cuddy left to respond to a fire in his residential building, with the board tabling Article 24 parking revision discussions, including a debated reduction in minimum stall depth from 20 feet to 18 feet, until the January 26 session, when absent members Daniel Gioiosa and Margaret Sweet are expected to be present.
