Planning Board finds Wingate unit change de minimis, approves revised decision
Summary
The board found a request to reduce units at the Wingate project from 63 to 61 to be de minimis and approved the decision; the nine affordable units remain unchanged (two two‑bedrooms, seven one‑bedrooms).
The Needham Planning Board voted May 19 to find a proposed change to the Wingate major project/site plan special permit (93‑3) de minimis and to approve the decision as contained in the meeting packet.
Applicant representative David explained that plan‑development adjustments converted four one‑bedroom units into two two‑bedrooms, reducing the total unit count from 63 to 61. The nine affordable units were unchanged and remain as previously outlined (seven one‑bedrooms and two two‑bedrooms). A board member moved to find the change de minimis; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote, and the subsequent motion to approve the decision carried by voice vote.
No additional conditions or amendments to affordability commitments were recorded in the meeting discussion.
