Galvin Development's 7‑unit Quarry Street proposal continued to Sept. 9 after questions on parking and construction timing
Summary
Galvin Development presented a seven‑townhouse proposal at 576 Quarry Street and described parking and stormwater plans; neighbors and condo owners requested more detail about surface parking, construction timing, and pest control. The board continued the matter to September 9 to allow staff and the applicant to resolve outstanding comments.
Sean Galvin and counsel Edward Fleming presented a plan to demolish an existing single‑family house at 576 Quarry Street and construct seven townhouse units with a total of 28 parking spaces — two garage spaces per unit plus driveway spaces. The team emphasized they had obtained Zoning Board of Appeals relief, described landscaping and a proposed 11,000‑gallon underground recharge system, and noted design continuity with a neighboring 580 Quarry Street development.
Residents raised questions about surface parking counts, the potential for overflow parking to affect neighboring condo owners, construction timing, pest management and traffic impacts on adjacent streets. The planning department noted outstanding comments and recommended a one‑month continuance; the board voted to continue to Sept. 9 so those items can be addressed and additional correspondence can be received.
