Medfield’s newest tradition was a huge success. The downtown was abuzz with crowds of people. This was the ice sculptor at the bubbler in front of the Town House.

A second 40B development appears to be coming, this one on Rte. 27 at the Walpole line, per the email yesterday from town planner, Sarah Raposa –
Interestingly, we received another call this afternoon regarding a potential 40B. I was not familiar with the developer. He inquired about how close we were to the 10% goal and what other projects were being built/proposed. He indicated he had a site identified (two abutting parcels) on High Street near the town line for 8-12 units. They would be duplexes, ownership, and 25% affordable.
I will keep you posted.
Best,
Sarah

I got the date wrong – the informational meeting about the CPA at the Zullo is on 12/10 at 7PM, not 12/7 as I had previously posted.

A 40B development will apparently be going in on the Hospital Road land formerly owned by Keith and Debbie Mozer, which is next to the former Medfield State Hospital fields. A 5 lot development is thereby converted into a 30 lot one. This email today from the Town Planner, Sarah Raposa –
Planning Board members –
Just wanted to keep you in the loop on this: The 5-lot Country Estates subdivision was recently sold to the Larkins (developers of Glover Place on North Street). They came in today to let me know that they intend to develop the property as a 40B. It will be similar in design and density to Glover Place (with a first floor bedroom). At that point don’t know exactly how many units to expect [but Glover Place is approximately 6 units per acre, so maybe 30 units?]. The units will be ownership and 25% will be affordable and count towards the Town’s subsidized housing inventory (and land area calculation). They suspect that they’ll have a formal application to submit to the town in approximately 30 days.
I’ll keep everyone posted on the process.
Best,
Sarah

We are in the home stretch in preparing for the MFi Angel Run. With over 1,000 preregistered runners and a sunny day in the forecast we expect a great crowd.
We still need lots of goodies for the post race party. Many can be bought: water, hot cocoa mix, snack bags or home baked. This is Medfield’s finest weekend starting with the Christmas tree lighting, Saturday’s parade and ending with the Angel Run on Sunday. Be an angel and sign up for a small volunteer job!
Many thanks from the Medfield Foundation.

Medfield Select Board member
I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
For information on my other job as an attorney (personal injury, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, and real estate), please feel free to contact me at 617-969-1500 or Osler.Peterson@OslerPeterson.com.
