Plympton Residents Encouraged to Attend Public Hearings for Ricketts Pond Estates 40B Project

July 4, 2025 By Stephani Teran

On July 29 at 6:30 p.m. at the Plympton Town Hall in the Deborah Sampson Room, a hearing will take place on the Ricketts Pond Estates 40B Project proposed by Peter Opachinski of SLT Construction Cooperation. SLT Construction is proposing to develop a parcel of land near Route 44 in an area zoned as General Industrial. The site is accessed through Carver via Ricketts Pond Drive -a private road that SLT built to access the small industrial park that abuts their proposed development.
SLT says it intends to develop Ricketts Pond Estates which will include 30, two family condominiums containing 2-3 bedroom units and that 25% of the units will be designated affordable housing. SLT Construction also claims they will provide private wells and septic systems for all 60 homes on their 23 acres of land under the 40B application which overrides many of Plympton’s by-laws.
This project requires multiple facets of review and consideration including a traffic study, environmental impact implications, and a myriad of other points that various public service entities have written letters of concern and inquiry about in going forward with this project and its impacts on Plympton.
Previous hearings for the Ricketts Pond Estates 40B Project have taken place on May 28th and June 26th of 2025 with very little residential attendance or awareness for a project that would increase the town population by 5-7%. The Plympton ZBA must make a decision on the project within 180 days of the first hearing per state law.
SLT Construction earlier proposed an asphalt crushing site on the same parcel of land but this use for the land was turned down by Plympton. Residents of Plympton are encouraged to visit the town website for all public data, letters, and information about the 40B Project and attend the forthcoming public hearings -all which are listed in the newspaper community calendar and the town website. www.town.plympton.ma.us
