The most notable topic discussed was the request for special permits concerning properties at 57 and Palmer Street. The proposal involved creating a shared parking easement between these two residential properties. James Christopher, representing the project, explained that both properties were seeking approval for a driveway opening that does not meet the setback requirements. The intention is to establish two parking spaces between the buildings through a tandem arrangement. These parking spaces straddle property lines, necessitating the permits. The Board decided to send the case to the Planning Board for further review before any final decision is made.

Another notable agenda item was the case of 63 Harvard Street, where a property owner requested permission to modify a retaining wall. The owner sought approval to extend an existing retaining wall by two feet to accommodate parking space adjustments on their property. This modification aims to address a neighbor-related dispute over a previously approved retaining wall construction. The Board, after clarifying details with the applicant, classified this change as a minor modification, allowing the project to move forward without additional hearings.
