The planning board approved a preliminary and final major site plan for a six‑story residential building at 102.5–116 Avenue E (Block 467, Lots 10–14) that will contain 105 residential units, 110 parking spaces (semi‑automated stacking system with two transfer bays), 53 secured bicycle spaces, and rooftop amenities with green roof area.

Architect David Sheets and civil engineer Mark Chisvette described project details: a 6‑story, 85‑foot building with unit mix (studios, one‑bedrooms, one‑bedroom dens, and two‑bedrooms), garage access from Avenue E with a single curb cut, a semi‑automated three‑high stacker system (typical retrieval times about two minutes), a cistern under the garage for stormwater detention sized for the 100‑year event with watertight covers, rooftop green roof exceeding RDP requirements, and LEED‑oriented sustainable design measures. The applicant said 15% of parking (17 spaces) would be EV capable initially and that additional chargers could be added later.

City professionals asked about emergency access, fire‑suppression in the automated parking system, the retrieval and queuing process for the stacked parking, ADA accessibility for transfer cabins, lighting, rooftop screening for mechanical equipment, trash collection coordination with private haulers, and security cameras. The applicant agreed to conditions including high‑pressure fire suppression in the garage (for EV risk), compliance with fire official requirements, camera provision in the garage, refined stormwater calculations and coordination on curb‑cut/striping, and landscaping accents.

After testimony by the planner and professionals and agreement on conditions, the board moved, seconded and voted to approve the application, subject to final engineering and fire official sign‑offs and other standard conditions.
