Owner Ting Ting Li described the business as a dog daycare, grooming and overnight boarding facility and said the operation could host \"easily a 100 dogs per day\" in mixed-size zones; she said the business would separate play areas by size and temperament and would staff overnight stays. Designer Jacob Lair and the project's architect of record (Rajmariya Gramsawami) described the site as an industrial reuse with existing building area and a proposed interior mezzanine. The most recent site plan circulated at the meeting showed 22 parking spaces; board staff calculated a parking requirement of 20 spaces under the cited retail calculation (1 space per 250 sq ft).

Board members expressed concerns about whether overnight kenneling is permitted under the cited zoning allowance (the legal notice references Section 135-601 and site plan review) and asked the applicant to consult the Board of Health and to provide a formal submission addressing: the specific land‑use classification sought (retail/grooming vs. kennel/overnight boarding), how many dogs would be accommodated (with supporting square-foot calculations for kenneling), a final parking layout (striping and maneuvering), and noise attenuation measures for outdoor yards and interior spaces. Member Mikami noted there is no clear Braintree standard for minimum square footage per dog and suggested the applicant seek health-department guidance; the applicant said USDA guidance and experiences from specialist design consultants would inform final layouts.

Applicant-provided operating details at the hearing included weekday hours of 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and closure on Sundays; the owner said overnight stays would be staffed by at least one person and that the facility would use sound‑isolating construction methods and solid fencing to reduce noise. The applicant asked the board to consider both the site's industrial context and the potential customer base (including nearby new residential development).

After discussion, the board continued the public hearing to the board's August meeting (the record notes August 10 during the motion) and requested that the applicant: consult the Board of Health about overnight boarding requirements; provide a clarified site plan showing parking and maneuvering (striping); provide a final program statement specifying the daily and overnight capacity and staffing plan; and submit a landscaping/noise‑mitigation plan. The board also advised the applicant to provide a contact person for staff follow-up. The continuation motion carried unanimously.

Next steps: Applicant to supply requested zoning/use clarification, Board of Health comments, final site/parking plans, and a noise/landscaping mitigation proposal for review at the continued August hearing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Board Meeting 7.8.25","oneSentenceSummary","Wicked Puppies LLC asked the Planning Board to allow a dog daycare, grooming and overnight boarding facility at 29 Messina Drive; the board continued the public hearing while it reviews zoning and health-department oversight, parking, and noise mitigation.","taxTitle","Town of Braintree , Norfolk County, Massachusetts","taxId",57175,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6655771,"Planning Board continues King Hill grading permit after neighbors raise dust, drainage and retaining-wall concerns",2229,1251000,3480000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5374326-96d1b1de20d8d2438f60bdd28120a7b1&start=1251&end=3480","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5374326-96d1b1de20d8d2438f60bdd28120a7b1/thumbnail_1251000.jpg","/articles/6655771/Town-of-Braintree/Norfolk-County/Massachusetts/Planning-Board-continues-King-Hill-grading-permit-after-neighbors-raise-dust-drainage-and-retaining-wall-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6655771-af7da9df871320cdfc8db1cdb582a773/orig.mp4?Expires=1771213471&Signature=E7uJqMo8hS~U2xdaQLVweILrrwWFXbYCnn62PMcwFceBUpgxuxKVkFHPxmpnWPRpx7GE6jMhbvb4c33tg7EAwktbntTtIBm2bZ8BawPd2Hm30fhO0taK5kpyBAJG22p4ewThbNXVAIxOSWmIbDV~~coHvVnaE2dsOR-pz9IeOPaa6gt26M1U1qOkrFjl89VQEKAD-3VZF1n~~xxTnI0Eu3TkayPkkFI4moP5FCSz3hAj4Fh~3oO3mw3jebjDaLXTxPPuaJ4RvzRXexq-QjSnlSDGXPj~MVo4q0UZBDC44VWDG-TaYo-tqo5rSziR~bm2F6FUNTorw3wPFkW3BvvnIg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Braintree Planning Board continued a public hearing on a grading permit for 55 King Hill Road on July 8 after multiple neighbors raised concerns about dust, drainage and a large retaining wall constructed close to the property line.

The application (legal notice cites special permit 135-1201 under Master and Law Chapter 48, sections 9 and 11 and the Braintree zoning ordinance Chapter 135, Articles 5, 6, 11 and 12) was filed by Charles B. Almi III to add building additions and expand a driveway, regrade the rear yard and construct a retaining wall up to six feet tall. Applicant engineer Sean Hardy of Hardy & Man Design Group told the board the work will require roughly 8,100 cubic yards of material brought to the site, would raise impervious area from approximately 5,300 to 7,700 square feet, and proposes nine Kultec 330 XL HD infiltration chambers sized to reduce runoff for storms up to the 100-year event. Hardy said groundwater was encountered at about 48 inches and the chambers were placed to provide required separation to groundwater.

Neighbors and their attorney pressed the board for protections. Attorney Mike Modestino, representing adjoining property owners including Ronald and Roger Aiello, said the nearby residents are not opposed to the house improvements but are \"concerned about dust problems\" and drainage impacts; he submitted photographs showing recent material on the site and asked that construction fencing and erosion/dust controls be imposed. Neighbor Ronnie Hall told the board he has lived on the street his whole life and said the current rear slope is \"very high\" and he is worried about safety and ongoing dust.

Board members and staff noted that a minor stormwater permit will be required by DPW and that DPW asked the applicant to clarify the operations and maintenance (O&M) budget and provide test pits as part of the formal stormwater filing. Member Connolly requested that fall-protection measures for the top of the proposed retaining wall be noted in any decision; Member Kim and others asked for more substantial landscaping or an offset from the property line so the wall is not constructed directly on the line and so that neighbors have vegetative buffers. Several board members also urged that on-site work be paused until the requested information and protections are supplied; they recommended covering exposed stockpiles and implementing standard erosion controls to limit windborne dust.

After discussion, the board voted to continue the public hearing to the board's August meeting and directed the applicant to supply: a structural/fall-protection plan for the retaining wall, a landscaping/off‑set plan to mitigate the visual and drainage impacts, and a stormwater permit filing addressing DPW comments (including O&M). The record shows the continuation motion carried unanimously.

Next steps: The applicant must submit the requested materials and coordinate stormwater permitting with DPW; the board will review those materials at the continued August hearing and may add conditions such as construction fencing, dust/erosion controls and required fall protection.","The Town of Braintree Planning Board continued a public hearing on a grading permit for 55 King Hill Road on July 8 after neighbors raised concerns about dust, drainage and a large retaining wall constructed close to the property line.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6655776,"Planning Board approves three zoning modifications and minutes; votes listed",1209,21000,1230000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5374326-96d1b1de20d8d2438f60bdd28120a7b1&start=21&end=1230","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5374326-96d1b1de20d8d2438f60bdd28120a7b1/thumbnail_21000.jpg","/articles/6655776/Town-of-Braintree/Norfolk-County/Massachusetts/Planning-Board-approves-three-zoning-modifications-and-minutes-votes-listed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6655776-d0d191896fd085db2b81e428e7230fc8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771213471&Signature=OamzLE92tufA0d8zd6E7ixx6XBwtDmqcreWx2umhpDKLp5ypaEehByNKnmr66K~4HlENV~PdkHGY95ytPhkwUnOfBOGzmPfg4fn3fnwDDt2NAjVRe5XYnKDERVfODo3C6jG~5vkvie4VFyVNKyD6rg1qDEBF51KixX9NgVjRdsswnW00H2EqT85flAH~-Vm01X9XLDa2CW9HBY26IY6UfursGebmPfqBsiFdXcaiypAl0XWdzN8YmvTmSr93iwWICoGyjz~c4TNnrqcCubP6u8p-2dqOlRJDQiFIpC1tULhibOEosGGpza0-kWXkt3Js89hijEpdz3fCFbadlgjjTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its July 8 meeting, the Town of Braintree Planning Board voted unanimously to approve an as-built release and surety for a newly built auto dealership, approve a minor site modification relocating electric vehicle chargers at 2060 Forbes Road, and approve a minor modification to the approved 444 Allen Street residential project. The board also approved meeting minutes for May 13 and June 10, 2025.

The approvals were routine and supported by staff reports. Director Matczak told the board that she had visited the Quirk/Genesis dealership site at 575 Quincy Ave and found landscaping and site elements professionally completed: \"Landscaping is looking good, and I think everyone should be proud of a good project,\" she said. For the Forbes Road EV charger modification, Matczak reviewed last February's approval and recommended carrying forward the original conditions while approving the new charger location. For 444 Allen Street, attorney Frank Marinelli and principal Rich Relic described a reduction in amenity scope (removing a dog park adjacent to residential patios) and design changes intended to improve screening and circulation.
