Scituate Planning Board Meeting - 06-11-2026

The Scituate Planning Board held a meeting on June 11, 2026, focusing primarily on site plan reviews and approvals related to residential development projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) at 78 Cathy Road and 82 Rear Elm Street, with detailed conditions on construction, utility connections, and compliance with town bylaws. The board also reviewed a major site plan and stormwater permit application for a multifamily building at 7 New Driftway, proposing 18 one-bedroom rental units with associated parking and site amenities. The project involved requests for zoning relief and waivers, stormwater management plans, and traffic impact considerations, including a recommendation for a traffic study and potential contributions to a traffic mitigation fund. Additionally, the board approved several purchase orders for peer review services related to local projects. The meeting included discussions on compliance with building codes, environmental regulations, and coordination with multiple town departments. The board voted to continue the public hearing for the multifamily project to November 30, 2026, and approved the purchase orders presented.
