Commission approves final compliance for 86 Plain St

Conservation Commission · Meeting of October 20, 2026

Hopedale's Conservation Commission voted to clear a title cloud on 86 Plain Street. The board unanimously signed off on a corrected final certificate of compliance, closing out an invalid 2006 order of conditions, DEP number 187-0210, that had never been formally resolved after a partial certificate was issued in 2007. The fix, worked out with Mike Dean of DNL Construction, addressed a mix-up in which the parcel had been listed under two street numbers, 86 and 88 Plain Street.

"In order to remove a cloud on this title, it became necessary for the board to issue, to close out the previous certificate of compliance," a commission member said. Separately, the board tabled approval of its September 15 minutes because two members had been absent or participated remotely that night, and it declined to discuss an unrelated resident inquiry about a proposed house on Overdale Parkway wetlands because the item was not on the agenda.
