Planning department endorses earlier vote on 151‑156 Quincy Street; board confirms recommendation

The planning department presented a confirmation of the Planning Board’s prior approval for a project at 151‑152 and 156 Quincy Street. Staff said the department had received outstanding comment letters, found no major issues, and completed conditions required for site plan endorsement.

Planning staff read a recommended condition set that the board supported; conditions include obtaining necessary zoning relief from the Zoning Board of Appeal if required, submission and approval of a construction management plan specifying staging and stockpile locations, soil testing and verification of stormwater systems during construction, sidewalk and ramp reconstruction to city standard, televised inspection of adjacent sewer infrastructure, pre‑demolition asbestos and health department reviews, dust and rodent control plans during construction, stone or concrete monuments to delineate public rights‑of‑way, and certified as‑built plans and engineer affidavits at project completion.

After discussion the board voted to endorse the Planning Department’s recommendation and to file the conditions as the confirmation of the board’s earlier vote. The endorsement formalizes the department’s list of special and general conditions to be attached to the site plan approval.
