EAST GREENWICH — The fate of the latest proposal incarnation of a mixed-use Greenwich Boulevard development may hinge on a radius.

The Planning Board heard 3.5 hours of testimony last Wednesday from representatives of local developer Joseph N. Zenga, who is seeking a comprehensive permit to develop 40 townhouse units, including 10 to be designated as affordable housing, off Greenwich Boulevard and behind East Greenwich American Legion Post 15 down to the Amtrak rail line near Greenwich Cove.

The board did not make a decision on the permit, and chairman Bradford Bishop said the complexity of the plan would require at least one more hearing before a vote could be taken. About a dozen nearby residents attended the hearing, but did not have the opportunity to address the board.
