Planning Board · Meeting of April 27, 2026
WEBSTER — The Webster Planning Board approved a used-car dealership site plan at 56 Main Street despite a formal dissent calling it a public nuisance. The board voted 4-1 to find the project met site plan criteria, then denied the applicant's parking waiver 2-3 on a roll call, with members Jason Piader, Dan Morin and Kristopher Fowler opposed and Evan Wilson and Janet Stoica in favor, forcing the applicant to add an on-site patron parking spot. Director of Planning Joseph P.
Wigglesworth also told the board a repeat citizen's petition to rezone 21 and 35 Pearl Street risked being flagged as "spot zoning" by the Attorney General; the board voted to make no recommendation to Town Meeting. Applicant Gary Baldiga's request to reinstall a roadside sign for Webster Cannabis Company was continued to May 18 amid questions over a 2025 permit.
