Cases
LAND USE AND ZONING
Obtained approval of two “Friendly” 40 B projects in the Town of Dover. The approach was to present very high quality, free standing houses as opposed to multi-story apartment buildings. This allowed both developers to produce a better product at a higher sales price and the town obtained two developments that are attractive and unobtrusive.
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Represented numerous homeowners in obtaining variances in several towns in the Metrowest area.
Due to our representation and expert testimony we were able to require a local town to change their local Board of Health Regulations which were substantially more restrictive than the State Title V. This amendment allowed several of our clients to build on previously undevelopable lots.
We represent clients before local Conservation Commissions, Planning Boards, Zoning Appeals Boards and Boards of Health where the specific development needs required specialized decisions and/or variances from local and state requirements.

Obtained several Zoning Board approvals to expand and/or reconstruct pre-exiting non-conforming structures.
Coordinated a “smart development” for an estate that was in financial distress and needed to sell real estate in order to pay Estate Taxes. By coordinating a quick approval of the development from the Local planning board the estate was made solvent and avoided exorbitant late fees, penalties and interest. The Town was benefitted by a reduction in the total number of lots created and retained the benefit of an extensive parcel of open land which is the gateway to the town.
