INFORMAL MATTERS
CASE NO. 2347 and 2288 – GRISSOM PARK CO., LLP – GRISSOM ROAD
Sitting: Peter Conner, Michael Main, David Peck, A. Wendy Longo, and Marc Betti.
Attorney Betters, representing the petitioner, said that the building is located at 40 Grissom Road on Map 101, Lot 28-7 in a Light Industrial zone. The lot contains a land area of 553,690 square feet. There are currently 326 parking spaces. The building is used for a combination of office, warehouse, and light manufacturing uses, which are all allowed uses. In 1989 the property received two special permits both of which have a condition regarding parking on the site. Parking has increased over the past 20 years to 326 spaces. The personnel increased to 260 employees for all uses within the building.
Mr. Murphy, owner of the building, said that it has taken seven years to occupy the building to about 98% occupancy. A recent inquiry brought to light that there were some 20 year old conditions on the parking and personnel for the site.
Attorney Betters, said that his client needs to resolve the status of parking and is requesting that the Board make a determination that the existing parking is adequate for the existing uses and personnel within the building.
Mr. Peck made a motion to approve the parking as adequate for the personnel within the building for the existing uses.
Mr. Main seconded.
Unanimously approved.
CASE NO. 3443 – NORTHBRIDGE COMPANIES – STAFFORD STREET
Sitting: Peter Conner, A. Wendy Longo, David Peck, William Keohan, and Michael Main.
Attorney Angley, representing the petitioner, said that the petitioner needs to make some refinements to the footprint plan that was approved by the Board in May, 2008. The revisions include the location of the mechanical equipment, fencing to screen the equipment from residents, the alignment of the enclosed connector between the buildings (door) and the size of the building. The building is slightly larger than what was approved in May however it is smaller than the original building that was approved.
Mrs. Longo made a motion to accept the changes as minor.
Mr. Main seconded.
Unanimously approved.
No further business came before the Board.
Respectfully submitted,
Peggy Fitzgibbons
