ADMINISTRATIVE ADMENDMENT:

Comprehensive Permit for Meadow Road (a.k.a. 122 Bradford Street Extension) for a determination of insubstantial change regarding buildings and unit mix.

Presentation: Ted Malone and Attorney Peter Freeman appeared to request the Administrative Amendment. The applicant submitted a revised site plan.
