Scituate Planning Board Meeting - 10-22-2026

The Scituate Planning Board meeting on October 22, 2026, focused primarily on development and site-plan review. The Board unanimously continued the public hearing for the proposed 48-unit multifamily project at 19 Union Street to January 14, 2027, at 6:30 p.m., extending the action deadline to April 30. The applicant described a three-story building with five affordable units and 101 parking spaces, and requested two design waivers. Board members, staff, and residents raised issues requiring further review, including excessive parking, traffic and pedestrian connections, stormwater drainage, wetland and water-supply protections, landscaping, environmental remediation records, and train noise. The applicant was asked to provide revised plans and additional studies; no construction contract or project award was made. The Board also unanimously continued a separate public hearing for a Broadway site-plan review to November 19, 2026, with its action deadline extended to December 31, 2026.

The Board discussed contractor estimates and a surety-bond amount for 799–803 Country Way, but the transcript does not clearly establish a final bond decision. It also records unanimous roll-call approvals for peer-review service payments associated with the 7 Driftway and 799–803 Country Way projects; the amounts appear to be $252.70 and approximately $1,724.50, though the transcript is garbled. No new procurement solicitation, vendor selection, or contract award was identified.
