WAKEFIELD — Wakefield’s latest proposed 40B affordable housing development could be approved as soon as next week. The Zoning Board of Appeals appears to be prepared wrap up the public hearing on the project at their next meeting on Dec 14.

The 38-unit residential dwelling would be located at 596 North Ave., just north of the Knights of Columbus building.

At its November meeting, the board and the development team discussed some of the final revisions to the project plans, including landscaping and civil engineering aspects.

The attorney for the project, Jesse Schomer of Regnante Sterio LLP, reported that the development team had met with Town Engineer William Renault to go over his feedback on drainage and storm water treatment on the site. Also discussed were Renault’s suggestions regarding the pedestrian beacon on North Avenue as well as his suggestion that the MBTA be approached about relocating a bus stop. Schomer said that he expected Renault’s final sign-off letter prior to the next ZBA meeting.

Schomer also told the board that the development team had met with the Traffic Advisory Committee, which was satisfied with the parking plan for the project and also supported relocating the bus stop on North Avenue. Schomer said that he also expected to have the TAC’s final letter before the next ZBA meeting.

Schomer called attention to the operations and maintenance plan that he had submitted for the project. He added the latest revisions to the landscaping and civil engineering plans were minor.

Peter Sandorse of Phoenix Architects confirmed that no changes had been made to the architectural plans since the last meeting.

Landscape architect Elliot Brundage reviewed a few changes made since the previous ZBA meeting, including some details on fencing along the side and rear of the building. He said that a covered bicycle storage area had been moved to the rear of the building, near the dumpster. He also talked about a newly added concrete walkway and handicapped access ramp.

Civil Engineer Chris Sparages said that he had also met with Town Engineer Renault, who suggested a creating couple of small, depressed areas in front of the proposed building to capture and treat storm water runoff from the surface areas on the property.

ZBA member Chip Tarbell wanted to know specifically what these depressed areas would look like and how they would be maintained. It was agreed that these areas would be planted with grass and trees that do well in moist soils.

It was agreed that ZBA chairman David Hatfield, Schomer and the town’s 40B consultant Ezra Glenn would meet to formulate a draft decision and conditions for the project for the full board to review at its Dec. 14 meeting.

No one from the public offered any testimony at the November meeting. The board continued the hearing to Dec. 14.
