Cemetery
Wayland Town Crier 11/18/08: JCAM files lawsuit against Wayland Zoning Board of Appeals, claiming they are should not be required to obtain earth moving special permits with site plan approval for their proposed cemetery. The cemetery project has already been approved by the Board of Health and the Conservation Commission, but still needs ZBA approval. A ruling made on Aug. 26 by the ZBA required JCAM to obtain earth movement special permits and site plan approval for the new cemetery.

9/24/08:
Zoning Board of Appeals continues cemetery hearing. When
completed, the East Beit Olam cemetery, funded by the Jewish
Cemetery Association of Massachusetts (JCAM), will be
located roughly between North Cemetery and Holiday Road. The
project has already been approved by the Board of Health and
the Conservation Commission and now awaits the ZBA’s
approval. But residents who live near the site are irate
over the proposed cemetery, which has seen its entrance move
from its original plan of Concord Road to Holiday Road
because of conservation issues.
