Applications To Be Heard on Februa 17 2000: Mr. Davies gave an oral review of the following applications: 75 Concord Avenue — special permit, wireless — The Planning Board recommends favorable action. While the particular circumstances surrounding the original permitting of this tower are unusual and do not allow a simple special permit application under 15.3.3.2 of the Zoning By -law, the Planning Board supports the use of the existing tower for co- location of a wireless communication facility. This is within the original intent of the By -law and it makes sense to modify the original special permit to allow the tower to be used for multiple installations rather than to force a new installation elsewhere. 60 Bedford Street — special permit for sign - The Planning Board defers to the judgement of the Design Advisory Committee for their review. The Board had no comment on the following applications, also to be heard on February 17, 2000: 673 Waltham Street - special permit to go up 279 Lowell Street - variance, s ep_-cial permit
