Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The New Whale Street building can be removed under required demolition and debris-handling practices; the minutes describe its removal from an area subject to coastal storm flow as an improvement to existing conditions. Restoration work along Baxter Road will include monitoring, and additional native plantings may be required if too many plantings fail. Several other applications were continued to January 8 or January 22, 2026.
