Salemi 22-unit townhouse development at 177 Main Street

Neighbors say 22 townhouses is too dense for the small, cut-through neighborhood, worrying about traffic, trash trucks on a dead-end drive, and a ZBA notification failure they want investigated. The applicant offered a 6-foot fence and abutter meetings, but the board wants a full impact study first.
