BARNSTABLE — Two neighbors of the planned Cloverleaf affordable housing project in Truro have appealed the town’s approval of the 39-unit complex and asked a judge to modify or annul the Zoning Board of Appeals decision.
Lauren Anderson and Helen Torelli Thursday filed a lawsuit in Barnstable Superior Court against Cloverleaf developer Community Housing Resource and the members of the Truro Zoning Board of Appeals. The two argue that the board’s decision to approve an “unproven” septic treatment system and waive some local health regulations “fails to protect the quality of ground waters and threatens contamination of private wells” near the project, according to the lawsuit.
