Former mini-golf site proposed for contractor-bay rental building at 360 Worcester Road
Summary
A developer presented an interim site plan to convert a former mini-golf property into a contractor-bay rental building (seven bays, 18 parking spaces) with updated drainage and modifications requested by the fire chief; board asked for circulation revisions and conservation coordination before returning to the agenda.
The Planning Board reviewed an interim site plan for 360 Worcester Road, a former mini-golf property proposed to become a contractor-bay rental building with seven large bays and smaller units between them. The applicant said the design includes expanded parking (18 spaces shown, two accessible), drainage improvements behind the building and a revised access roadway to satisfy fire-department turning requirements.
Board members and staff discussed the appropriate parking standard for the proposed use, noting multiple possible parking criteria in the zoning that produced different required counts. The applicant said the intended tenants are small building contractors and trades (electricians, plumbers) rather than public retail, and the applicant confirmed the site is not intended as a truck yard nor for overnight unregistered vehicle storage.
The board asked the applicant to coordinate further with conservation and the fire chief, and the applicant said he would return with updated numbers and revised plans. The board did not take a final vote and indicated additional review at the next meeting.
