Summary

Boll Engineering presented a plan for a 50,000-square-foot Restaurant Depot on a 4.4-acre GreenTech Park parcel; staff raised few concerns and the commission closed the hearing and issued orders of conditions focused on erosion control and stormwater management.

The commission closed the hearing and issued orders of conditions for the proposed Restaurant Depot at 21 New Bond Street after staff reported no significant stormwater or erosion concerns.

Keith Curran of Boll Engineering said the project proposes “about a 50,000 square foot, restaurant depot building with a 171 parking spaces, 3 curb cuts, and 5 loading... docks.” He explained the stormwater approach would include deep-sump hooded catch basins, proprietary water-quality units, and a subsurface infiltration basin to promote groundwater recharge and reduce peak runoff. Staff said the site was filed under the local wetlands protection ordinance only and that a recent Letter of Map Revision changed the floodplain mapping in the area, reducing flood-triggered concerns; the commission voted to close the hearing and issue the proposed order of conditions emphasizing erosion and stormwater controls.

The commission asked about construction entrance and stockpile locations and received a site plan response showing a proposed construction entrance and stockpile area; Curran said the contractor and final site operations could alter those details but the applicant must notify the city of changes.
