Board continues Boston Property Management’s 94 Greenleaf townhouse proposal to September for more comments
Summary
The board heard a proposal to replace a rooming house with six townhouses at 94 Greenleaf Street. After presentations and neighbor letters raising parking and privacy concerns, the board continued the matter to the September meeting to allow the department and applicants to address outstanding comments.
Edward Fleming presented Boston Property Management’s proposal to remove the existing rooming house at 94 Greenleaf Street and build six townhouse-style units, three three-bedroom units and three two-bedroom units, with 12 parking spaces on a 14,000-square-foot parcel. Architect Glenn Hoffman and civil engineer Jim Burke described unit sizes, parking layout, landscaping and an infiltration-based stormwater approach.
Neighbors and condo-owners wrote letters and spoke at the hearing, raising concerns that 12 parking spaces for six townhouses is inadequate, and asking for additional visitor parking or fewer units. Councilor David Jacobs recounted neighborhood meeting feedback about privacy, deck proximity to neighboring houses and snow storage. The planning department recommended continuing the item to the September meeting to allow outstanding comments (including abutter input) to be addressed; the board voted to continue to the September meeting.
