Planning Board approves Extra Space Storage plan at 21 Weston Ave with conditions
Summary
The board approved a special permit for an Extra Space Storage facility at 21 Weston Ave, subject to reconstruction of sidewalks, stormwater and public-works conditions, MBTA license and other standard construction requirements.
The Quincy Planning Board voted June 25 to approve a proposal to redevelop the property at 21 Weston Ave as an Extra Space Storage facility, subject to conditions recommended by city departments and peer review.
Attorney Edward Fleming presented revisions to the scheme showing added architectural treatments, increased fenestration and new landscape buffers. The applicant’s representative, Dave Williams of SDG Development, said the team had revised elevations, added plantings along the Weston Ave frontage and worked through peer-review comments.
The Planning Department recommended approval with conditions that included reconstructing the full property sidewalk along Weston Ave, submitting a construction management plan, obtaining an MBTA Zone of Influence license, drain and water flow testing, CCTV inspection of sewer infrastructure pre- and post-construction, a recorded stormwater operation and maintenance plan, noise and rodent control plans for the duration of construction, and tree ordinance compliance. The department’s recommendation also specified coordinate inspections of stormwater system construction and pre-demolition asbestos surveys.
The board voted to accept the department’s recommendation. Applicant representatives said they would work with neighbors on site safety and lighting concerns raised in public comment and that parking spaces at the facility would be reserved for facility users, not for general lease.
The approval is conditioned on the listed public-works and health department requirements prior to building-permit issuance and on recording stormwater O&M documents at the Norfolk County Registry of Deeds before occupancy.
