The Hillside Terrace design was reduced to about 2,700 square feet, and the board approved the revised application by a 5-0 vote after a neighbor withdrew opposition. At 45 Chestnut Street, the board determined that multiple construction changes—including a wider garage door and an expanded building volume—needed formal review rather than being treated as minor changes. Several other applications were postponed to June 8, while the Brighton Street planning project continued toward hearings on design, environmental concerns, housing, and traffic.
