Council approves amended 248 Tyrande concept plan with 14 conditions; one member objects
Summary
The council approved a 16‑page resolution authorizing two new multifamily buildings at 248 Tyrande Avenue (136 units, including 27 below‑market-rate units) subject to 14 conditions—covering rooftop equipment, greenway alignment, utilities and dog‑run safeguards—and recorded a single nay vote.
The council voted to adopt an amended concept plan for 248 Tyrande Avenue that authorizes two new multifamily buildings adding 136 dwellings, 27 of which are designated as below‑market‑rate (BMR) units. "You are approving the concept plan to allow the property owner to construct two new multifamily buildings containing a 136 additional dwelling units, of which 27 are BMR units," City Attorney Nick Ward Willis said as he summarized the resolution and its conditions.
The resolution attaches 14 conditions for the planning board and building inspector to enforce, including separate roof‑equipment sheets, screening and the planning board’s review of the Greenway Trail connection and a proposed public dog run. Developer representative Jay Blumenfeld said the project team intends to terrace upper floors to reduce visual impacts along the creek and will work with the planning board on detailed design. The motion passed after discussion; a council member recorded a dissenting vote during the roll call.
