The most critical discussion centered around street acceptances in the Highland Farms subdivision, including Brookfield Terrace, Fieldstone Lane, and Stony Brook Circle. The board noted that while construction appeared complete, the final sign-off from the director of community utilities had not been obtained. Consequently, the board unanimously agreed to table these street acceptances until the necessary approvals are secured, stressing the importance of formal acceptance for the roads and utilities.

Similarly, the board reviewed the reconstruction plan for Bronson Street but decided to table this item as well. The board chose to withhold final sign-off pending further development, emphasizing the need for thorough inspections to ensure compliance with city standards.

In addition to road issues, the board addressed several property subdivision proposals. Notably, a plan was endorsed to divide property at 283 and Fifth Street, creating two lots with specific frontage, subject to a special permit from the Fall River Zoning Board of Appeals. Another proposal involved dividing property at 2573 and South Main Street into five lots, designated for residential dwellings, including two-family and three-family homes. This plan, which received a zoning variance, included a shared common driveway for access, a point of discussion regarding emergency vehicle accessibility.

The board also approved a plan for reconfiguring a property on Lake Avenue, allowing for the demolition of an existing garage and construction of a single-family home. Additionally, a subdivision proposal for property on Pine and Plain Streets was endorsed, with considerations for easements and access.
