Project Versions And Zoning
Sarkis Development Company has an agreement to purchase the former Knapp’s Greenhouse property. We plan to develop the site into a residential neighborhood.
If the Town of West Newbury adopts the mandated MBTA Zoning Initiative, we will be able to create a mix of unit styles, price ranges and preserve more open space where it is most visible.
The Marshall family ran a fantastic greenhouse operation here for many years. They thoroughly endorse this thoughtfully planned residential development.

The vote will take place at the annual Town Meeting on April 28, in the new high school’s gymnasium.
Adoption of the MBTA zoning district at the Knapp’s Greenhouse property has the support of each member of the Select Board, Planning Board and Finance Committee.
A YES vote will adopt the mandated zoning and satisfy the State requirement.
We plan to develop this property with or without MBTA.
A YES vote allows us to create a much better project.
The Comm. of Mass has implemented strong financial penalties on the town if we don’t adopt the district. Learn More

Current zoning would wipe out the open space at the front of the site and replace it with something like this.
This is what we’d like our first building to look like. It could contain up to 6 units within it. We could not do this under the current zoning.
