AMESBURY — Planning Board approves Elmwood Street residential design. The board voted 5-0 with one abstention to approve a historic preservation special permit for a new residential building at 2-4 Elmwood Street following design adjustments including a 10-foot front setback and repositioned garage to protect existing trees. Applicant Matt Langis implemented changes after five to six months of Design Review Committee and Technical Review Committee coordination.

The board also continued hearings on the 296-unit Rocky Hill Development, a six-unit residential conversion at 29 Water Street, and a garage-to-accessory dwelling unit conversion at 84 Congress Street, and authorized payment of $2,629.75 in Stantec engineering invoices.
