The board approved a use variance and subdivision for a property on Broad Street, with conditions including increased setbacks and a stipulation that the single-family home on the proposed lot will not exceed 2,250 square feet. The board emphasized compliance with the town’s bamboo removal ordinance, requiring bamboo to be cleared before any permits are issued. These changes are subject to engineering review and additional conditions outlined in the approval resolution.

For the 3 East Front Street project, the board granted an easement subject to further negotiations. Key conditions included the installation of a black chain-link fence instead of a white vinyl one and compliance with affordable housing regulations and a waterfront access easement. Lighting details will be reviewed and approved by the board engineer to ensure compliance with local standards.

Additionally, the board handled routine resolutions, including the appointment of board attorneys and engineers. A previously scheduled hearing for a property on Riverside Avenue was postponed due to the applicant’s need to re-notice the meeting and confirm new representation.
