Yoga studio at 13 River St.
The board unanimously approved converting the former Bistro Basque restaurant at 13 River St. into a two-story yoga studio. According to Patch, plans call for a larger studio on the first floor, a smaller one upstairs, staff offices and an accessible restroom. The business is expected to operate from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, serving 15 to 30 adults at a time. The building’s footprint will not change.
Six units on Meadowside Road
On a 7–2 vote, the board approved six multifamily units at 21–29 Meadowside Rd. under the state’s affordable housing law. The existing two-bedroom ranch at 21 Meadowside Rd. would be demolished, and the property would be merged with an adjacent 15-unit development to create a 21-unit complex.
The new townhouse-style homes would each have two bedrooms and two parking spaces, with three visitor spaces also planned. Two of the six units would carry affordability restrictions: one for households earning up to 60 percent of the area median income and one for households earning up to 80 percent.

Sacred Heart golf performance center
The board also unanimously approved Sacred Heart University’s golf performance center at Great River Golf Club, 130 Coram Lane. The two-story building would include three practice bays that can work as simulators or open onto the driving range for year-round use, plus team locker rooms, offices, a lounge and an adjustable putting surface.
Before it gets a zoning permit, the university must address 12 recommendations from the city engineer, Patch reported. The broader project would increase parking from 216 to 221 spaces.
