Summary
At its Dec. 17 meeting the Quincy Planning Board approved its Nov. 19 minutes and the 2026 calendar, granted a continuance for a 4 South Street review and continued two public hearings (166 Independence Ave and 46 Bates Ave) for outstanding engineering and design details.
The Quincy Planning Board met Dec. 17 and approved minutes from its Nov. 19 meeting and a 2026 meeting calendar after staff recommended shifting meetings to the second Wednesday of each month and adjusting summer and November dates.
Planning Department staff, represented by Mr. Stevens, told the board the calendar moves the meetings back to the second Wednesday, places a summer meeting at the end of July and shifts November’s meeting because of the Veterans Day holiday. Member Kelly moved to accept the calendar; the motion passed by voice vote.
On procedural business, the board accepted a Dec. 17 letter from attorney Rob Fleming asking to continue site-plan review for 4 South Street (plan board case 2025-17) to the Jan. 14, 2026 hearing and waiving a 65-day notice requirement. The department recommended the continuance and the board approved it by voice vote.
Also under other business, planning staff announced receipt of a withdrawal letter for a proposed large multifamily project at 42 Beale Street in Wollaston; staff said the proponent’s request to withdraw will be placed on the January agenda for the board to accept or reject the withdrawal.
The board adjourned after taking the procedural votes and moving outstanding hearings to future dates.
