Planning panel allows limited Saturday interior work for 402 Farmington Avenue through Aug. 31
Summary
The commission approved a temporary extension allowing internal, enclosed construction work on Saturdays at the 402 Farmington Avenue apartment project (7:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.), with no weekend deliveries and no exterior/courtyard activity; the permit runs through Aug. 31, 2026.
Representatives for 402 Farmington Avenue asked the Planning & Zoning Commission on May 11 to reinstate permission for internal construction activities on Saturdays while the project finishes interiors. Kyle Richards told commissioners the buildings are now enclosed and the Saturday work would be limited to tasks such as painting, carpeting and drywall finishing that do not require tractor‑trailers or exterior site operations.
Staff and commissioners discussed a small number of prior Saturday incidents and emphasized limits: no deliveries or tractor‑trailers on weekends, no courtyard or exterior heavy work, buildings to remain enclosed (windows closed), and sensitivity to holiday weekends. Richards said allowing Saturdays could shorten the schedule by roughly a month; he asked permission through Aug. 31, 2026.
The commission approved the request, including the stated restrictions and an understanding that staff will enforce limits and consider holiday exemptions. The motion carried; the meeting record does not list exact vote counts.
Next steps: the applicant may schedule interior Saturday crews consistent with the permit; staff will field complaints and ensure building/fire inspections proceed as required.
