WRENTHAM - Besides the adult entertainment district zoning change, voters at Monday's town meeting face a proposal to rezone 47 acres off Route 1 near Interstate 495 to encourage commercial development.

The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. in the King Philip Regional High School auditorium.

A total of 37 acres are zoned residential, and another 10 acres limited commercial. Landowner Joe Lorusso is requesting all the property, which is adjacent to Plainville, be rezoned to full commercial to allow for larger industrial and business buildings.

At a public hearing before the planning board Wednesday night, several residents of nearby Madison Street were opposed to the rezoning, citing traffic concerns and access to Madison.

"My concern is an industrial park will generate a lot of trucks," Cheryl Connelly of Madison Street said, adding the narrow road is also "very hilly and windy." Joanne Driscoll of Madison said residents have faced traffic for the stadium in Foxboro for decades.

"We put up with enough with the football games, concerts, Revolution. I think enough is enough," Driscoll said, noting "at least eight accidents have come right up on my property."

No through truck traffic signs are a possibility, Police Chief James Anderson said.

"We believe commercial development in this area will have minimal traffic impact," said Todd Alexander, Lorusso's real estate broker, who contended most truck traffic will not head down Madison to Route 140, but go instead to Route 1 and Interstate 495.

"Truck traffic should be avoided at all costs," planning board member Thomas Wrynn said of Madison.

Lorusso said, "we will take all the steps necessary to mitigate truck traffic."

The rezoning has many benefits for the town, proponents said.

"We feel it would help the property be developed for the highest and best use," Alexander said. "It would be a significant increase in the tax base and require little or no reciprocal increase in town services.

Because the land is on the outskirts of town, "We feel development won't impact Wrentham's rural character," Alexander added.

Alexander said the owner has missed some development opportunities because of the existing zoning limitations. "It is a preferred location," he said.

The development is being tentatively called Wrentham Woods Business Park.

"We don't have any tenants lined up. We don't have any potential developers lined up," Alexander said.

The town has two small industrial parks, one near Norfolk, the other near Franklin.

"I think the town is in need of some good industrial development," planning board member Bill Skinner said.

Board Chairman Patrick Moore said, "We need to look at where it will have the least impact on the town."

A similar rezoning request was shot down by voters a few years back.
