Master Millwork, Inc., of Bourne, will have to wait at least a few more weeks before it can seek approval on a request for a special permit to build a new location in Wareham.

Master Millwork is a construction firm that specializes in “interior finish carpentry services” for residential buildings, like apartments and hotels, as well as “architectural millwork packages” for service buildings, like restaurants and nightclubs.

With neighbors voicing a range of concerns about the building proposed on land currently owned by A.D. Makepeace on Charlotte Furnace Road, the business has already made several changes to the original plans, such as moving it further away from the road.

Master Millwork is not affiliated with A.D. Makepeace – they are just interested in purchasing the land from them.

On Monday night, representatives of Master Millwork again appeared in front of the Wareham Planning Board, as did neighbors worried about taking a mostly residential area and bringing in commercial properties.

Ultimately, the board decided to continue the public hearing, requesting that alternative sketches with changes to the façade in the front of the building be presented.

Those representing Master Millwork, the neighborhood, and the Planning Board offered a variety of differing opinions regarding the matter.

While saying they’d address neighbors’ concerns over the vegetation and landscaping in front of what he said was a 10,000 square-foot, two-level structure, Attorney Richard Serkey expressed disappointment at having to return a fourth and fifth time.

“It’s an economic consideration on the part of the petitioner,” Serkey said. “Having a fifth public hearing is an economic burden.”

Neither Serkey nor engineer Timothy Bennett was inclined to make a decision on behalf of the applicant regarding changes to the building itself.

Owner Jesse Kirby was not present, due to what representatives said was a prior engagement.

“This is the building that the applicant wants to build,” Serkey said in response to the request that further changes be made in an attempt to appease the neighbors. “Beyond planting, I have no authority to offer you more.”

Initially, plans were to construct the building 50 feet from the road, but changes were made after neighbors voiced concerns that it was too close to the road. The current plans have the building 180 feet from Charlotte Furnace.

Neighbor Monica Montgomery said she’d like to see the central part of the front of the building “gabled” to make it appear more like the nearby residences, among other suggestions.

While expressing an overall disapproval for the project, she offered some advice to those in charge.

“Keep it simple, and keep it well maintained, and everybody will love you,” said Montgomery.

Despite a lengthy discussion amongst the board regarding its next step, officials unanimously voted to continue the public hearing until alternative building plans were proposed.

“In reference to closing the public hearing, I’m not in favor of that at all,” board member Michael Fitzgerald said.

Instead of continuing the hearing until the next meeting on Jan. 25, the group agreed to push it until Feb. 8, because of a desire to have the full board vote. Fitzgerald said he couldn’t make it to a meeting Jan. 25, due to a prior engagement.
