Wayland Town Crier 8/24/11: Wayland Planning Board clears way for assisted living facility. A Planning Board decision last night effectively opens the way for a developer to build an assisted living facility on the now-defunct Lee's Farm Stand property at 134 Boston Post Road. The board's decision allows the 10-acre property to be subdivided into two 5-acre pieces. The Northbridge Companies, which runs several health care facilities, has signed an agreement with the property owners, the Bongiorno family, for the rear of the lot. The company plans to build a 65,000-square-foot assisted living and memory care home. The fate of the front 5 acres has not yet been determined. Let's Encourage Environmental Sustainability and Pine Brook Associations, which are affiliated, want to ensure that part of the property, on the north side of Rte. 20 near Pine Brook Road, will be preserved as open space and used for farming. LEES chairwoman Joan Blair read a statement on behalf of LEES/Pine Brook, appealing to the Planning Board to wait before approving any plan for the site. "The 400 people on our mailing list from all over town have expressed deep concern that the landscape of our town will be forever altered if the front parcel of the land is developed," she said. "The $1.5 million price tag recently established by the sellers indicates such development."
