Zoning board approves 4,500 sq ft expansion for New Boston Self Storage on Weir Road

The New Boston Zoning Board approved a special exception May 28 allowing New Boston Self Storage LLC to expand its facility at 175 Weir Road by roughly 4,500 square feet (an attached Unit 6).

Chair (speaker 2) introduced the application under Article 2, section 204.2 of the New Boston zoning ordinance. Jacques Polangelo (speaker 6), the surveyor assisting the applicant, explained the addition will be attached to the existing buildings on a pad prepared during prior site work and that access uses the existing state-approved curb cut. He said the increase in storage area would have minimal change in use and that prior site approvals and a conditional use plan (CUP) would be updated as needed at the planning-board level.

Board members asked about visibility, drainage and whether prior planning-board conditions apply; Polangelo confirmed planning-board coordination and noted the site work was anticipated when the prior expansion occurred.

No abutters spoke in opposition at the zoning hearing. A board member moved to approve the special exception for the expansion; the motion passed and the board asked the applicant to continue coordinating with the planning board and building department regarding site-plan, drainage and any required permits.
