BOARD ITEMS Old Business Design Review Committee -Mr. Cummings reported that the Northbridge Assisted Living Facility, located at 68 Great Neck Road, had been approved with a small adjustment. Mr. Cummings, as an abutter to the parcel, expressed his concern about seasonal foliage loss with the new tree plantings. The plans were amended by the applicant to replace with evergreen plantings. The Cape Cod Commission will review the plans on January 15 before being reviewed by the Planning Board. Mr. Fudala confirmed that no testimony would be taken on the 151h, likely because more information about the application was needed. Mr. Cummings referenced the applicant's request to clear the buffer by removing native vegetation to install a retaining wall, which would face the facility, and replace with evergreens. Mr. Cummings confirmed that he had filed his disclosure with the Town Clerk as an abutter to the project.
