The planning board voted to endorse a Form A plan July 9 that subdivides a registered‑land parcel containing two existing multifamily dwellings at 67 and 77 Mason Street. The endorsement approves creating one new lot line so each dwelling remains on its own parcel and preserves existing rear parking access. The plan will be returned to Land Court, which will redraw and file the subdivision portion of the plan with the registry as part of the registered‑land process. Board members said the administrative detail required by Land Court — not zoning relief — governs this endorsement. Board member John Ferrer said the plan “is really fairly simple” and that the land‑court level survey created the limited change. Commissioner Beth Andrei moved approval; Michael Farias seconded. The roll call vote was unanimous in favor. The board noted rear pocket parking (approximately six to seven spaces) will remain and must be allocated according to prior zoning relief for the site. No public comment was offered during the item. The endorsed plan will be submitted back to Land Court for final recording and placement on the registered‑land plan.
