WESTBOROUGH – Boston Lawnmower has moved one step closer to moving to 0 Bridle Lane.
On Nov. 14, the Planning Board approved an application for a site plan review for a four-acre, vacant site at the corner of Oak Street and Bridle Lane.
According to Pat McCarty, who presented the plans, the space would become home to Boston Lawnmower, which is currently leasing space at 233 Turnpike Road.
The 20,000-square-foot facility would include a showroom, a service area, a parts room, office and a break room.

There will be 47 parking spots, including charging stations for electric vehicles.
Director of Planning Jenny Gingras said, “We will finish drafting the decision, and the applicant will need to record it at the registry of deeds prior to applying for a building permit.”

The board also discussed the application for a transit-oriented special permit and site plan review for a vacant parcel near the MBTA commuter rail station.
According to plans submitted by the applicant, Richard Record, who owns the property, the two-phase project would begin with 18 one-bedroom rental, stand-alone units. A second phase would expand the site to accommodate 22 more units.
These units would be about 750 square feet each, with one parking space per unit.
Board Chair Mark Silverberg said he likes this project since “this plan’s a lot more creative than one, three-story building.”
He added that the units would be suitable for “a single teacher, a single police officer…”
“A couple could live there very comfortably,” added board member Hazel Nourse.
The hearing has been continued to Tuesday, Dec. 12.
