Applicant signals shift to mini‑storage and fuel‑oil/propane use at 880 Southbridge Road; setbacks remain a concern
Summary
An applicant for 880 Southbridge Road withdrew a prior rental‑unit plan and told the commission he intends to pursue mini‑storage and operate a fuel oil/propane business from his home; commissioners noted prior setback issues and said formal designs will be required if purchase completes.
Speaker 2 reported that the applicant for 880 Southbridge Road withdrew a prior proposal for construction of rental units and now plans to pursue mini‑storage and operate a fuel oil/propane business out of his home. "He is interested in purchasing that property... and he wants to construct an open‑sided shelter so he can park his four trucks under it," Speaker 2 said. The property currently includes a metal carport the applicant proposes to enclose for servicing vehicles.
Commission members reminded the group that the parcel previously had setback issues. Speaker 3 and others asked whether the site offers enough room to meet setback requirements and whether proposed structures would meet code. Speaker 2 said the applicant must complete purchase and submit design plans; the commission will review any formal application and designs at that time.
No formal zoning decision or application approval was recorded in the excerpt. The commission advised the applicant to ensure compliance with setback rules before proceeding with construction plans.
