Peabody City Planning Board approves minutes, grants continuances for two site-plan reviews
Summary
At its March 6 meeting the Peabody City Planning Board approved February minutes and granted continuances for site-plan reviews at 0 Hodge Street and 60 Pulaski Street to the board's March 20 meeting; the board also moved to place a citizen on the March 20 agenda.
Peabody City Planning Board members approved the minutes from their February 2025 meeting and granted two requests to continue pending site-plan reviews to the board's March 20, 2025 meeting.
The actions came during the regular meeting March 6 at the Peabody City Auditorium. Attorney John Kelty asked the board to continue the review of the application for 0 Hodge Street on behalf of his client, Michael Becker; the board granted that extension. Kelty also said the applicant for 60 Pulaski Street had recently submitted a signed contract and payment for a peer review; he asked for the Pulaski item to be continued while the peer review is completed and the board agreed.
The continuances delay formal board decisions on both site-plan reviews and allow time for additional review material to be filed and for peer-review work to be completed. The Pulaski request referenced a peer-review contract with Tye and Bond; Kelty said the payment would be corrected if it proved payable to the wrong party.
In other procedural business a motion was made to place Mr. DiBiase on the board's March 20 agenda; the transcript records the motion but does not record the vote on that specific motion in the provided excerpt.
