190 Washington Street Warehouse Development
At a glance
- What: notice of intent for six commercial warehouse buildings (just over 75,000 sq ft) with accessory offices at 190 Washington Street, owned by 190 Washington Auburn LLC (an Eastland Partners affiliate).
- Where it stands: hearing continued to October 28 at 7:00 p.m. for a commission site visit. The state file number was still pending.
- Related: 50 Washington Street Erosion Enforcement, the neighboring property that received fill from this site.
The proposal
- Three buildings fall in the 100-ft buffer zone; all work is inside the pad-ready limits approved a few years ago.
- Replaces a 120,000 sq ft single warehouse; about half an acre less impervious surface; more shade trees and over 100 shrubs.
- Presented by Jim Bernardino of Turning Point Engineering. Planning Board site plan amendment approved; the Department of Public Works reviewed storm water.
Concerns
- A member asked about less impervious paving (grass pavers); Michael Garland mentioned a consultant might be hired. Erosion controls at this site have failed or gone unmaintained before.
