Owners seek permit to formalize long‑running student housing at 64 Murray St.; paving and parking are central concerns
Summary
L & M Realty Partners requested a congregate-living special permit for an existing student housing property at 64 Murray Street; staff said required parking spaces must be paved and striped (millings not acceptable without variance); owners said they will make required paving updates and submit an edge-of-pavement map.
Attorney Dan Reynolds told the commission L & M Realty Partners seeks to regularize an existing student housing configuration at 64 Murray Street that the owners have operated for roughly two decades. The applicants said they currently provide six bedrooms and will pave and stripe required parking spaces if necessary to meet congregate-living parking requirements.
Planning staff reminded the applicants that required parking and drive aisles must be paved with a hard surface (asphalt, concrete or pavers) and that loose millings or crusher-run do not qualify without a zoning variance; applicants signaled they would prepare edge-of-pavement drawings and a striped parking layout and show the garbage receptacle location on the revised site plan. Commissioners declared the action Type II and scheduled a public hearing at the next meeting.
