Planning Board approves Shamrock Road subdivision, advances Tech Park overlay

Planning Board Meeting · Meeting of August 10, 2026

Billerica Planning Board approves Shamrock Road subdivision, sends Tech Park rezoning to fall Town Meeting. The board unanimously approved a two-lot subdivision at 6 Shamrock Road, allowing owners Steve and Nancy Millett to convey a new 15,684-square-foot lot to family members expecting a child in October, with attorney Jim D'Angora citing "overwhelming neighborhood support." The board also voted unanimously to submit a new Route 3 Corridor Overlay Zone warrant article covering two Tech Park parcels marketed as "The Landing at Millbrook," which member Chris called "spot zoning" but "great spot zoning." A site plan special permit hearing for a 15-court indoor pickleball and badminton facility at 15 Middlesex Turnpike, proposed by BBPA Realty LLC and principal John Lee, was continued to September 14 on a 4-2 vote after questions about a Bedford fire hydrant and a poorly maintained stormwater basin. The board also voted to submit a general Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee article, deferring a fight over whether the committee should have up to 24 itemized seats.
