On Brookline

Can’t a Guy Get a Day Off? (2)

I’ve been told that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court will hear arguments in appeal of the Land Court’s decision permitting Brookline’s Zoning by-law concerning attic conversions.

This comes out of the controversial residential development at 71-81 Spooner Road

They’ll also discuss the appellant developer’s (Selectman Bobby Allen is corporate counsel) attempt to designate second floor bedrooms as attic space.

It’s on for 9:00 AM and you can watch it here.
