Hull Planning Board elects Riley chair, approves Paragon Dunes stormwater change

HULL — June 24, 2026 — Hull Planning Board reorganizes, approves Paragon Dunes stormwater fix, and debates master plan future. The board elected Megan Riley as chair by a 4-2 vote over Abby Kleeman, who was then unanimously elected vice chair; Lisa French was elected clerk unanimously. The board voted 6-0 to classify and then approve a minor modification at the Paragon Dunes development on Nantaskett Avenue, allowing a rerouted underground stormwater system handling approximately 5,350 square feet of roof drainage to proceed after a peer reviewer found "no issues" with the change. Riley and Kleeman reported that town counsel confirmed the board has fulfilled its contract with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council and holds no further obligation to the agency, though the board acknowledged a formal RFQ process will be required before any new master plan consultant can be retained. A master plan subcommittee presented a detailed markup document flagging outdated sources — one as old as 2004 — misclassified town property, and a draft that Kleeman said "didn't take into account what the people who lived here have told us they want."
