It Was noted that the Planning Board had discussed the fact that Brewsters,
Inc. would be requesting a new entrance to their building at 903 Waltham St.

' denied by the Board of Appeals November 18, 1976. The Planning Board would not
be making a formal comment, since they agreed it was substantially different and
Ch. 40A, Sec. 20 would not apply.
