Development News from the latest meeting
Stoneham Planning Board 7-8-26
Published: Jul 8, 2026
Redstone Shopping Center Signage for Taco Bell Reviewed; Site Visit Scheduled
The Planning Board discussed the proposed signage for the Redstone Shopping Center (former Sato II site) for a new tenant, Taco Bell. The applicant's attorney, Stephen Tricatelli, presented the plan for a freestanding pole sign and wall signs, noting that variances will be sought from the Board of Appeals for the freestanding pole sign due to it being a structure, and for landscaping. The applicant intends to file for a special permit with the Planning Board after obtaining relief from the Board of Appeals. The board scheduled a site visit for August 12th at 6 p.m. at 147 Main Street to assess the proposed sign's impact on site distance and visual aesthetics.
Planning Board Approves LED Price Signage for BJ's Wholesale Club Gas Facility
The Planning Board reviewed a sign change request for BJ's Wholesale Club's gas facility. The request involves adding LED price signage to the existing pylon sign on Route 93. The Board of Appeals granted a variance for this in the previous month, with the condition that pricing cannot change more than once per day. The Planning Board retained jurisdiction for signage approval for this retail petroleum facility from a 2015 special permit. The board assented to the sign change, consistent with the ZBA variance, making the decision 5-0.
Planning Board Approves Exterior Utility Room Addition for 32 Summer Street Condominium Redevelopment
The Planning Board discussed and voted on the addition of a 6-foot by 16-foot utility and fire alarm control panel and sprinkler room to the building at 32 Summer Street, which is being redeveloped into four condominiums. The addition, requested by the Fire Chief, was approved, with the board determining it did not require a new special permit hearing. The structure is intended for exterior access to utilities and the fire alarm system for easier firefighter access and to prevent water damage to the alarm panel. Blasting for ledge removal on the site has already been completed.
Planning Board Approves ANR for 7 Jarrow Road Subdivision, Paving Way for Two New Homes
The Planning Board reviewed and approved an 'Approval Not Required' (ANR) for 7 Jarrow Road, which involves a subdivision of land for two new houses. The plans, updated on June 24th and June 30th, address previous concerns about typos in dimensions and incorporate suggestions from the buyer's attorney to be more 'land court-friendly'. The ANR is necessary because the existing lot configuration, a result of a late 1940s/early 1950s subdivision, required frontage variances for two lots (16 and 17) to meet current zoning requirements. The house on lot 17 will be torn down, and two new houses will be built on the reconfigured lots.
