- Two minor-modification requests at 9 Arbor Way (separate filings) were continued to Feb. 6 to clarify whether new regulations apply and other technical points.

Procedure and administrative notes:
- The commission accepted a set of agenda continuances and amended the agenda by roll-call votes early in the meeting.
- Commissioners discussed procedural changes to allow certain notice-of-intent or order-of-condition items to be voted as blocks in future meetings; staff will place a procedural-update item on future agendas and circulate a change summary and revised checklists to applicants and engineers.

Members of the public and several commissioners urged applicants to submit supplemental materials early so the commission and abutters can review them ahead of hearings. Staff said the packet will be updated as materials arrive and will be posted online.
