Dunkin’ and a demolition

Board of Zoning Appeal, 6 p.m. Thursday. We may have to get by with one fewer Dunkin’ Donuts location – the one at 5 Third St., East Cambridge (it’s also known as 8 Winter St.), may become a five-story building with 18 homes. The 16,921-square-foot project is supported by the East Cambridge Planning Team, which knows there’s another Dunkin’ at 14 McGrath Highway, Somerville, less than one-third of a mile away in the Twin Cities Plaza. The agenda also holds a request from a couple on Alpine Street in West Cambridge on a monthslong journey to renovate their home to have enough room for them, two children and grandparents who live with them to watch the kids while they work, attorney Michael Welsh told the board in June 2022. During a limited demolition, the “second floor collapsed,” the couple said, seeking approval “to continue the construction by restoring the collapsed floor and walls,” as well as pursue the original plan. “It has been 18 months since we first began the application,” Yingchau Yu and Siyu Huang said. “Finishing the restoration of the property is of public interest to the neighborhood.” Watchable by Zoom videoconferencing.
