The Empty Delegas Buildings

Delagas plans to demolish his empty buildings in the Landing. Because the river runs under the old Grille building, he has to get an order of conditions from the Conservation Commission. He went before the Con Com in November 2009. That hearing was continued to Wednesday 14 April 2010.

Greenbush Year Two Anniversary Report

82 Broad Street

The proposal to turn the old fire station in Lincoln Square into a 90 seat restaurant was denied by the Zoning Board of Appeals on 20 May 2009 by a vote of 5 to 0.

When an application is turned down by the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA), there is a two year waiting period before the applicant can reapply to the ZBA. Under MGL 48-16, an application turned down by the Zoning Board of Appeals can go before the Planning Board (PB) and if a demonstration is made to show significant revisions have been made by the applicant the PB can vote to allow the applicant to go back before the ZBA before the two year waiting period is up. On Tuesday 15 September 2009 the applicant went before the PB and demonstrated they made significant revisions to their plan. The PB voted to allow the applicant to go before the ZBA anytime.

Thanks to all who responded to the survey. The results are in.
