They agreed with conservation to put a restriction on that buffer zone, the parking is hidden from view by growth in the buffer zone. A Board Member, Norman P. Cohen, asked if they passed with the Conservation Commission (Mr. DeAngelis stated the Conservation Commission voted to issue an approval). Chair, Ralph D. Clifford, clarified the location of the new parking and asked if there are plans to expand 181 Spring Street (Mr. DeAngelis responded no, it can't be expanded and they wouldn't tear it down because of the floor area ratio).
