Planning Board Seeking Applicants for Design Review Board

Town Meeting in April approved the creation of a Design Review Board for the town of Wayland that will "review building designs, site plan approval, special permits, signs and variance applications for all non-residential uses involving new commercial construction."

"The process represents a community effort to enhance our commercial districts and surrounding neighborhoods," reads a press release. The draft review guidelines are available on the town website.

Wayland's Planning Board was charged with appointing five members to the new Design Review Board and is now accepting applications from interested Wayland residents.

"Members of the Design Review Board shall include, where possible in order of preference: an architect, a landscape architect, a member of the Planning Board or designee, a resident who is an owner of a business in Wayland, and a graphic designer," reads the press release.

Members will serve for three years or until a successor is named.

Applications will be accepted until June 15. Interested individuals should submit a resume and statement of interest to:

Sarkis Sarkisian, Town Planner
41 Cochituate Road
Wayland, MA 01778
Email: ssarkisian@wayland.ma.us

The Planning Board will make appointments during a meeting on Tuesday, June 19.
