The larger site covers roughly 30,802 square feet and would deliver 94 rental units (71 one‑bedroom, 24 two‑bedroom), two levels of structured parking and about 98 parking spaces (roughly 1.03 spaces per unit). The smaller parcel at 38 Old Colony (about 11,303 square feet) would be built first as affordable/workforce housing with 27 one‑bedroom units and 18 parking spaces (about 0.7 spaces per unit). The applicant said the smaller building would give existing tenants on the larger site first opportunity to relocate into new units.

Civil engineer Carlos Sculte described site grading and drainage designs that include subsurface stormwater chambers and trench drains, pervious pavement for exterior parking on the smaller site and an over‑designed storage approach that aims to capture and hold runoff for storms up to the two‑year event without discharge. Because the sites are in a locally identified inundation area (the city’s Wollaston inundation study), the team said it coordinated with city departments and will continue working with peer reviewers; the consultants noted the properties are not in the FEMA regulated floodplain but are nearby localized flood‑prone areas.

A traffic assessment prepared for the two sites estimated the larger building would add about 30 peak‑hour trips in the AM (23 out, 7 in) and 37 peak‑hour trips in the PM; the smaller building would add about 10 AM peak trips (8 out, 2 in) and 11 PM peak trips. The combined projected traffic increase across both sites is roughly 40 AM trips and 48 PM trips, and the report found minimal change to studied intersections’ levels of service except for an existing northbound Old Colony approach to Beale Street that already experiences delays.

Residents and nearby business owners testified at length. Speakers urged additional study and mitigation for the known localized flooding behind the Packie/CVS corridor, questioned whether city infrastructure planned earlier (a pump station previously discussed for the area) will be in place, and requested more robust traffic analysis during school arrival/dismissal times and for pedestrian actuated crossings that can pause vehicle flow. Several abutters said on‑street parking is already tight and asked the board to consider prohibiting street parking permits for the new development if a reduced parking ratio is approved.

Members of the planning board and the applicant agreed to continue the public hearings to May 21, 2025 to allow peer‑review comments and follow‑up studies to be submitted and to provide additional opportunity for neighbor input. No approvals were granted on March 19.

The proposal would sit on about 34,107 square feet in a Business B zoning district. The developers said the design takes advantage of the site's slope so the building reads as six stories from Quarry Street and five from Willard Street, includes an interior move‑in/drop‑off area, two separate egresses to the parking structure, and landscaping and sidewalk improvements.

The public hearing drew more than a dozen speakers. Several neighbors and local historians pressed the applicants to preserve the small granite house at 92 Willard — which multiple speakers said is listed on the National Register of Historic Places — and argued the stone structure is architecturally and locally significant. Residents also described recurring congestion and safety problems at the nearby Willard/Quarry/Stedman intersection and asked the developer and city to address those conditions before construction proceeds. Others raised general concerns about stormwater and local flooding, sight lines, building scale and lighting.

Applicant and consultants responded with technical details. Carlos Sculte of Civil & Environmental Consultants said the site plan reduces existing curb cuts, provides new stormwater chambers designed to treat the one‑inch “water quality” storm and to detain and recharge runoff through subsurface storage, and would reduce peak flow to the municipal drainage system for storms up to the two‑year event. The team said the building would set back roughly 8–10 feet from property lines, provide internal loading and trash management so pickups occur off the public way, and include space for transformers and vehicle circulation. Michael Kiley of the Heritage Companies said the development team will try to repurpose some granite material for retaining walls and signage where feasible.

Traffic consultants said the project's peak‑hour trip generation is modest — roughly 14 new trips in the morning peak and 23 in the evening peak — and that the additional volumes would not materially change the studied intersections' levels of service. Neighbors disputed how small the impact would feel at congested times and asked the city and developer to pursue targeted safety and striping changes at the problematic intersection near the Common Market restaurant.

Board members and staff said the project will undergo peer review by city consultants and departments for traffic, stormwater and historic‑resource impacts. The planning board voted, by voice, to continue the public hearing to the May 21, 2025 planning board meeting so peer reviewers and the applicant can respond to outstanding technical comments and to allow additional public input.

The planning board took no final action on project approvals on March 19; the public record remains open.

","622 Quarry LLC presented plans for a six‑story, 58‑unit building at 86 & 92 Willard St. and 135 Robertson St.; applicants and city staff agreed to continue the public hearing to May 21 after neighbors raised historic‑preservation, traffic and stormwater concerns.","actionData","errors"]
