Wayland Conservation Commission continues 123 Dudley Road home over scale concerns

WAYLAND — February 11, 2026 — Wayland Conservation Commission delays 123 Dudley Road home over 119-tree clearing. The commission voted 7-0 on Feb. 11 to continue the Notice of Intent to March 4 after Conservation Administrator Linda Hansen and abutters challenged the scale of a three-story house proposed by Joel Goodmonson and Robin Greenleaf on a 29,000-square-foot lot entirely within the Dudley Pond buffer. Engineer Seth Donohoe of Dillis and Roy said the home would sit 47 feet from the bank — versus six feet for the burned cottage it replaces — with 4,955 square feet of impervious surface. Abutter Skip Miller said the design "flies in the face of everything that everyone has done on the pond." Chair Sean Fair told the team the commission has never accepted off-site mitigation on conservation land. The board separately issued unanimous Orders of Conditions for projects at 116 and 38 Lakeshore Drive, the latter featuring Wayland's first bottomless sand filter septic system.
