[Massplanners] Access to Parcel in Abutting Community

[Michael Mena]

Good day.
>From my experience working for local governments, unless there are
restrictions on the road in Tewksbury regarding the size/weight of vehicles
or trucks, there is not much else that can be done.  The property is
located wholly in the abutting town, zoned for industrial uses, the road
(access) pre-existed and if the use was allowed "by-right" there was (is)
no opportunity for Tewskbury or its abutting residence to comment on the
proposal.
