  • What: Notice of Intent CC-2026-060 (local ordinance only) by Pappas Prime Properties, LLC to demolish a single-family house at 22 Goldthwaite Road, keep the three-family at No. 20 and build a 28-unit apartment building (31 units in total, per a commissioner).
  • Where it stands: Conservation Commission order of conditions issued 3-0 on 2026-08-24.
  • Next: parking reduction under review elsewhere: a Planning Board inclusionary-zoning special permit and a Zoning Board of Appeals special permit (ZB-2026-096, agenda for 2026-10-19).

The proposal

  • Site: two parcels off Lincoln Street in the RG-5 district; no wetland buffers on site, filing required only because of proximity to municipal catch basins.
  • Applicant represented by Thompson Liston Associates engineers (Nikita Shugrue and Alex Wood).
  • A corner flagged during review as possible isolated land subject to flooding was studied and, with staff agreement, found not to be a regulated resource.

Concerns

  • Staff: landscape plan needed more native trees and shrubs.
  • Devin Canton and Lindsay Nystrom: snow storage looked small and only 16 surface spaces served 31 units. The applicant said the symbol understates the flat storage areas, that garage parking is also proposed, and that a Planning Board special permit would cover up to a 50 percent reduction (not the full amount).

Conditions

  • Revised landscape plan with at least 50 percent native species for trees and shrubs.
  • Stormwater system maintenance, infiltration unit inspection, certification, dust control, dewatering, cement truck washing, sand and salt.
