WINCHESTER — Main Street project stalls as parking raises concerns. The Planning Board continued the Treetop Group's 972 Main Street application to August 4, requiring revised site plans addressing parking space dimensions and drive aisle width. Town Engineer Matt Shuman flagged concerns about interior parking configuration, particularly space depths and the 23-foot-10-inch drive aisle.
The applicant must submit revised materials by July 31, with approval contingent on resolving issues staff view as potentially requiring a hardship variance. The board also continued a second Main Street application and zoning bylaw amendments.
