August 2nd Planning Board Meeting
• The Planning Board (PB) strongly urged our team to eliminate the existing curb cut and driveway access from Cambridge Park Drive and redirect all traffic to Steel Place for site ingress and egress.
- In response to this request, our team has eliminated the curb cut and driveway and relocated all access to and from the garage and loading to Steel Place.
• The PB requested that the existing Van Accessible spaces be relocated from the surface on the East side of the building.
- In response, the team relocated the two required Van Accessible spaces into the interior of the building on the east façade.
• The PB requested additional landscaped/pervious area as a result of removing the existing curb cut and relocating the accessible van spaces.
- The project team took this direction and incorporated additional landscaping and pervious area in the location of the existing driveway and Van Accessible parking.
• The PB also provided direction on the exterior design of the building.
- Our design team is in the process of making design revisions to address the PB’s concerns/comments.
We anticipate our next PB meeting will occur at the end of October. Once we finalize a hearing date, we will update the project schedule. We hope that you will be able to attend the next Planning Board meeting.

Thanks to those who were able to attend our Open House on May 18 at 35 Cambridge Park Drive to learn about our plans to renovate the existing building and add two additional floors.
We plan on filing our application for a Special Permit with the Planning Board in the next few weeks. As soon as we are assigned a hearing date we will post it on this site.
In the meantime, if you were unable to attend our Open House but want to learn more about our plans to transform this important corner across the street from the Alewife T station, please feel free to provide your comments and the project team will provide details.
