Board Continues 210 Winthrop St. Project Again
Winthrop Planning Board continues 210 Winthrop St. review past its 60-day deadline, keeps use variances intact.
Planning Board · Meeting of August 24, 2026
Winthrop Planning Board continues 210 Winthrop St. review past its 60-day deadline, keeps use variances intact. The board, missing Chair Chris Boyce, pressed architect David Barsky and attorney Delahanty on roof height, EIFS panel use and a mismatch between civil and architectural drawings for the 19-unit, 17-parking-space project, now 104 days into its Center Business District hearing. Precinct 5 resident Ellen Connors disputed the application's stated lot size and frontage; staff liaison Cheryl rebutted her public-records complaints on the record: "You're right, we do not answer questions." Separately, the board voted unanimously to recommend no change to the town's use-variance ordinance, instead asking the town council to fund an outside review of Winthrop's 25-year-old use table.
A tree-ordinance amendment stalled over missing documentation, with the board seeking a special meeting before a September 6 council deadline.
