Wayland Town Crier 6/30/11: Wayland residents come up with idea for Dudley Area. The first in a series of “charrettes” (translated as public forums, particularly as related to design and architectural projects) took place on Monday night to gather input on future uses for the town-owned land collectively known as the Dudley Area. The 7.5-acre parcel is located east of Route 27 on Doran Road, Pond Drive, Cross Street and Curtiss Road. To that end, late last year, the Board of Selectmen established a temporary Dudley Area Advisory Committee to oversee a study of the feasibility of the various options for the land and to make a recommendation to the selectmen for the best use or uses, and in what proportion. The recommendation is to take into consideration impacts on Dudley Pond and the surrounding watershed, public access to the pond, public health issues, and community preferences for the use of the property. Among the current options are preservation of open space, passive recreation use, playing fields, septic treatment facilities, pond management, and construction of affordable housing.
