The Zoning Board unanimously approved the purchase of a 5.2 acre lot from Pine Manor College.

 

Brookline’s Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously ruled in favor of a special permit, which would enable Pine Manor College to subdivide a portion of its Chestnut Hill Campus and allow it to be sold as a home.
