Planning Board to Revisit Green Street Project

The Planning Board will take again Tuesday night consideration of a proposed 20-unit housing complex on Green Street near the .

The proposal by Redstone Building Corp. would build 10 duplexes on 3.67 acres. Two of the 20 units would be priced lower to qualify as affordable housing.

The proposal, which will require a special permit, ran into strong opposition from several neighbors, who questioned the impact of the project on traffic and the nearby wetlands. Portions of the land may also be contaminated by the runoff from the landfill.

The board toured the property last Saturday to see the site in person before it meets this week.

Fire Chief Jason Gilliland, who was on the tour, said John Muldoon, who owns Redstone, and his lawyer, Paul Lynch, have agreed to add a second entrance to the property and will double the width of the street to accommodate a fire engine.

“They have met my requirements,” Gilliland said.

The project must also face a review by the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Conservation Commission.
