Planning Board · Meeting of May 18, 2026
PEMBROKE — The Pembroke Planning Board required a cash bond to guarantee a traffic signal at Oak Street and Corporate Park Drive before a 350-plus-unit housing project can get its final occupancy certificate. Member Heather Tremblay pushed for the safeguard, warning "we're looking at adding 350 plus units" to an already congested area near Route 139. The board unanimously reappointed Andrew Wandell as chair, Alysha Siciliano-Perry as vice chair and Scott Martino as clerk, and honored retiring member James Noone's 32 years of service.
It also approved a 2,800-square-foot Pembroke Public Library addition at 142 Center Street with four waivers. A contested 22-unit, 13-building development at 660 Washington Street, where abutter Lisa Teixeira asked "shouldn't a traffic study be warranted at this point?", was continued to June 8 pending fire department and engineering sign-off.
