Council sends Bond Brothers permit back to committee amid concerns about container storage and flooding
Summary
Bond Brothers' petition to continue a mix of administrative offices, storage and overnight vehicle parking at 22 North Maple Street was referred to the special permits committee after councilors and staff raised flooding, storage‑container duration and screening questions.
The council considered a complex petition from Bond Brothers to continue administrative offices, a training center, storage of construction equipment and up to eight storage containers at 22 North Maple Street.
Representatives described planned site improvements including a curb cut, an 8‑foot security fence with privacy slats, restriped parking to meet zoning dimensions and a gated equipment yard. Bond Brothers said most heavy equipment is taken home nightly and the number of containers would be capped at eight, arriving and departing as job schedules dictate.
Several councilors and staff asked for additional review. Concerns included flooding in the rear yard during heavy rains, whether storage containers would become de‑facto permanent structures, the number and placement of containers, and the overall site layout. Councilor D'Amambro advocated committee review and additional work with city inspectors; councilors supported sending the petition to committee and continuing the public hearing to Oct. 15.
Next steps: petition referred to Special Permits Committee for further review; public hearing continued to Oct. 15 to allow staff inspections and additional engineering input.
