Council refers 20 Gale Street street-opening petition to Public Works Committee
Summary
Nicholas DeDuca, manager of 20 Gale Street LLC, described a two-unit infill plan and told the council each proposed 3-bedroom unit would be about 1,800 sq ft; the council referred the 1725 street-opening petition to the Public Works Committee after questions about moratorium and curb-to-curb repaving.
Clerk read a petition from Nicholas DeDuca seeking authorization to open 20 Gale Street under article 1725 for water, sewer and gas connections; the petition was presented as part of a proposed two-unit development. "My name is, Nick Deduka. I live at 110 Albert Road," DeDuca said on the record, and he described plans for two smaller three-bedroom units and for curb-to-curb repaving, granite curbing and concrete sidewalks in compliance with engineering guidance.
DeDuca said each unit, including the basement, would be "around 1,800 square feet," and told councilors he intends to sequence paving toward the end of construction to avoid repeated work. Councilors noted Galen Street was paved in 2024 and is under a moratorium until 2029, so the 1725 application requires agreement to repave to city standards; engineering and DPW comments were reviewed on the record. The council closed public testimony and referred the petition to the Public Works Committee for further review and permitting steps.
