One Howard, LLC was primed to provide an update on their six-floor apartment plan on Thursday.
FRAMINGHAM - The Framingham Planning Board has postponed a public hearing regarding a proposed multi-use apartment building in the downtown area to May 16.
Members from One Howard, LLC were originally set to provide more information on their plans for a six-floor building with over 130 units during the Planning Board's meeting on Thursday, April 18. The group, which is a part of the larger City Realty Group from Boston, is seeking multiple permits from the city in order to begin building at the parking lot on Howard Street adjacent to the Armenian Church of the Holy Translators.
Materials regarding new plans for drainage systems at the building have been submitted to the Planning Board by One Howard, but only three board members were present at the Memorial Building for Thursday's hearing. Planning Board Chair Kristina Johnson noted that there were enough members present to convene a meeting, but they offered One Howard the chance to reschedule due to the absences.
“I just wanted to apologize to the petitioner as well as members of the public who came tonight," Johnson explained.
"This is an unexpected outcome here…We always extend that courtesy to any petitioner to make that determination, so that’s why we just didn’t know that this was going to happen.”
One Howard's attorney Paul Galvani told the Planning Board members in attendance that the presentation was to feature civil engineering information. That presentation will now be unveiled publicly next month, but the Planning Board will still be able to review the materials in the meantime.

This week on The Frame: the School Committee and City Council vote on a proposed contract to acquire school buses as efforts continue to bring drivers in-house, work begins on an expansion to Framingham’s Logan Express garage, and the city hosts its annual tree lighting ceremony in front of the Memorial Building. Plus: a look at the giant toy soldiers that adorn the community during the holidays—how they came about, and what goes into making this tradition a reality.
We wanted to learn more about when these soldiers started to pop up, where they come from, and why they’re so notable for the community.
Framingham school officials have asked legislators to back a five-year contract for 72 vehicles in order to facilitate an in-house bus driver system.
