  • What: Notice of Intent CC-2026-066 by Milton Street Properties, LLC for two three-unit townhouse buildings with driveways, utilities and stormwater at 26 and 28 Milton Street (MBL 09-028-19-22 and 09-028-1922A), City ordinance only.
  • Where it stands: order of conditions issued 3-0 on 2026-09-14.
  • Next: mounding analysis, revised planting plan and as-built plans; finish site work before winter.

Background

  • The project had already passed the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals, and the buildings were mostly built; the engineers said they were brought in late and are bringing the project into compliance. Erosion controls were installed and work was stopped until permits were obtained.
  • Milton Street here is a private road; the applicant is paving it and adding two catch basins for treatment and capture.
  • Roof runoff goes to shallow (2.5 foot) underground infiltration units in front driveways; the hydrology model was updated the day of the hearing.

Conditions

  • Groundwater mounding analysis (staff concern about separation to groundwater).
  • Revised plans with a planting plan at least 50 percent native species.
  • Standard stormwater maintenance, infiltration inspection, engineer certification, as-built plan, and sand and salt conditions.
  • Staff told the applicant the erosion controls were inconsistently applied.

Discussion time

About 12 minutes across 1 meeting (from transcript timestamps; approximate).
