# Board of Appeals - October 8th, 2026

The Milton Board of Appeals meeting, identified in the title as October 8, 2026 (meeting metadata lists October 26, 2026), considered three land-use applications. The board unanimously granted Christopher and Kristen Watson a special permit for a rear deck at 50 Frothingham Street, allowing the existing 6.9-foot side setback to remain despite the 10-foot requirement. The hearing on Gas and Audi’s proposal to replace gas-station signage at 352 Granite Avenue with LED signs was continued to November 12 because required dimensional information and Sign Review Committee review were not yet complete; no procurement or spending decision was identified.

The board also heard a request to modify the existing comprehensive permit for the 648–652 Canton Avenue housing project. Proposed changes include converting 60 of 116 units to LIHTC financing, increasing the total affordable units from 29 to 74, preserving the historic J. Porter Holmes house, and revising site access, building layouts, and stormwater features. The board did not decide the modifications at this meeting: it closed the public hearing and scheduled deliberations for November 12, requesting additional documentation on stormwater changes, grading and fill, and fire access. No contract awards, bids, or purchasing actions were discussed.
