Three Townhouse Units Approved for Pelham Road with Accessibility and Sustainability Conditions
The Planning Board considered an application for site plan and special permit approval to demolish an abandoned building and construct three attached dwelling units at 516 Pelham Road. The project received prior approval from the Board of Appeals for three units, with variances granted for density and the number of dwelling units. The proposed design includes a four-story building with a basement, first-floor garage and rec room, second-floor living areas, and a third-floor with bedrooms. A key feature is a rooftop amenity with a pergola and green roof. The board discussed building height, garage door design, and importantly, the integration of accessibility features and universal design principles throughout the units, especially given the inclusion of an elevator. Conditions of approval include DPW permits, sewer main requirements, recreation open space fees, fire sprinklers, and specific attention to improving accessibility and maintaining sustainability features like the rooftop terrace. The applicant agreed to the conditions.
Two-Space Restaurant Approved for Center Avenue with Fire Safety Conditions
The Planning Board approved a site plan for a restaurant at 72 Center Avenue, combining two existing commercial spaces. The project involves significant modifications to meet building and fire codes, including separating the spaces into two fire areas with a two-hour firewall and automatic fire doors. The occupancy of one fire area (A) will be limited to 49 people to maintain a business occupancy classification and avoid sprinkler requirements. The two fire areas cannot be occupied simultaneously. Conditions of approval include remedying right-of-way damage, obtaining DPW permits, and ensuring fire areas A and B are not occupied concurrently. The applicant agreed to the conditions.
Gaming and Drinking Establishment Approved for Huguenot Street
The Planning Board reviewed and approved an application for a gaming and drinking establishment at 355 Huguenot Street. The applicant presented revised plans addressing concerns about refuse area location, security measures, and delivery access. The board discussed and approved conditions related to right-of-way damage, fire sprinklers, and curb cuts for deliveries. The applicant agreed to the conditions, and the site plan was unanimously approved.
Subdivision Drainage Amendment Approved for Wilmot Road Properties
The Planning Board approved an administrative amendment for a subdivision at 99 Wilmot Road and 97 Beverly Road. The amendment involved revised drainage plans for a common driveway, incorporating four rain gardens to manage runoff from impervious surfaces. The middle lot (97 Beverly) owns the common driveway, and maintenance is shared among the three properties via deed restrictions. The board discussed the maintenance of the rain gardens and confirmed the shared responsibility. The administrative amendment was approved.
Two-Family Dwelling Plan Amendment and Extension Approved for Pershing Avenue
The Planning Board approved an administrative amendment and an extension for the application concerning a two-family dwelling at 120/122 Pershing Avenue. The applicant presented revised plans that addressed previous comments regarding facade design, specifically eliminating a jog on the second floor and proposing a higher-end wood garage door. The board discussed the aesthetic of an extended roof over the garage, ultimately finding it acceptable. The applicant requested an extension to finalize the application before permit expiration. Conditions included DPW permits, right-of-way remediation, inflow and infiltration, recreation open space fees, health department permits, traffic signal and parking sign maintenance, affordable housing compliance, landscaping bond, unit designation, fire sprinklers, and sewer flow submissions. The board also added conditions for improving accessibility and maintaining sustainability features. Both the amendment and the extension were approved.
