The Town of Lakeville Zoning Board of Appeals granted special permits to Derek Maxey to allow two single-family dwellings in the business zone at 31 and 33 Reservoir Avenue.

Maxey, who identified himself as living at 55 Long Point Road, told the board he proposes two houses on lots carved from property associated with the Country Club. He said much of the surrounding area is residential and "instead of trying to do some business on that road ... I think that's the right way to go." The planning board submitted a memo supporting the petition. After public questions and discussion, the board approved both petitions; the chair stated, "Motion carries unanimously," for each.

Neighbors asked whether the new houses would affect the golf course fairway layout and nearby ponds. Tom Barricone, who identified himself as the owner of 16 Reservoir Avenue and 13 Reservoir Avenue, asked how the lot design would "tie into any future development of the senior housing" and expressed concern that the Eighteenth Fairway could become nonfunctional if houses were built. Maxey said the larger redevelopment proposal discussed with the select board and planning board could convert the golf course to a nine-hole layout; he did not present a final plan for the remainder of the fairway. Regarding water resources, Maxey said the proposed lots would be about "200 feet away" from the reservoir and that the Conservation Commission ("ConCom") would not allow alterations that harm the ponds.

The board clarified that approval of the special permit changes only the allowed use and does not replace later permitting steps: applicants still must pull building permits, submit detailed plans to the building department, and—if setbacks or other regulations require it—seek additional approvals such as Conservation Commission review. The chair summarized the safeguard: "He would still have to go through pulling the permit and giving plans and designs ... If it was within a certain setback area ... he would be required to go before ConCom anyway."

Both petitions (31 Reservoir Avenue and 33 Reservoir Avenue) were approved without recorded roll-call votes in the transcript; the board's approvals were unanimous according to the meeting record.
