Pickleball noise at 179 Main Street
The pickleball club's outdoor courts hinge on players using certified quiet paddles, which cut noise roughly in half. The town's noise ordinance isn't really built for this use, so enforcement would be complaint-based — code enforcement with a sound meter, violation notices, and ultimately possible site-plan revocation. Neighbors worry the rules won't be consistently followed.
Vacant commercial space conversion at 401 Main Street
Vacant office space on Main Street is becoming four apartments, one of them affordable. It adds housing with no exterior changes, though the applicant will pay about $15,000 in impact fees and record an affordable housing covenant.
401 Main Street office-to-housing conversion
Hard-to-lease second-floor commercial space at the Main Street shopping center will become four apartments — adding housing without changing the building's exterior. The property abuts the residential zone on Hampstead Road.
