What was decided

The board heard four zoning cases: a garage and pool deck, a four-unit building, a loading zone enclosure, and a pickleball conversion. It adopted a decision in each by a roll call vote. The 20 Williams Street decision added Condition No. 4, and the 110 Felton Street decision changed 'substantial hardship' to 'practical difficulty.'

4 decisions aren't shown: they couldn't be matched to the minutes.
