From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearings 2-7-23
Description
Zoning regulates the use and dimensional boundaries of privately owned buildings and land. The Zoning code is in place to protect the neighborhoods from the construction of buildings or structures that do not fit into the context of a neighborhood. The Zoning Board of Appeal hears appeals for varying the application of the Zoning Code and determines when it is appropriate to grant deviations from code restrictions.

address
of
150
River

the
applicant
is
John,
forgive
me

Okay,

great.
K
J
M
Good
morning
Madam
chair,
can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,.
A
We
can
good
morning
John
if
you
could
just
briefly.
Let
us
know
the
reason.
The
need
and
reason
for
the
extension
yeah.
M
150
River
Street:
this
is
a
partnership
between
the
planning
office
for
urban
Affairs
and
the
Caribbean
integration
Community
Development.
It
is
a
100
30
residential
unit,
affordable
housing
with
Amis
between
30
and
70
percent,
and
this
was
approved
by
the
zba
on
January
29
2021..
M
A
You
may
I
have
a
motion.
P
A
A
Thank
you.
So
can
you
just
briefly
explain
the
need
for
the
extension.
Q
So
we
are
asking
for
one
year
extension
for
the
for
a
couple
of
reasons:
one
is
the
our
bpda
approval
took
about
10
or
11
months,
and
after
that
we
engage
with
few
design
films
because
of
whoever
understands
and
the
inter-substantial
delays
in
completing
the
design.
So
we
had
to
look
for
new
design
firms
and
right
now
the
design
is
substantially
complete.
We
are
at
almost
in
construction
document
phase,
but
we
need
a
little
bit
more
time
to
plan
for
the
construction
and
we
are
fully
committed
to
the
project.
A
It
thank
you,
may
I,
have
a
motion.
A
U
A
Go
on,
yes,
we
can
hear
you
just
briefly.
Let
us
know
the
need
for
the
extension.
V
A
E
Dates,
this
is
the
first
extension
request
and
the
dates
are
from
February
17
2023
to
February
17
2024.
A
E
G
Good
morning
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
and
congratulations
on
your
feels,
like
practice
attorney
Lauren
scatina,
with
an
address
of
245
Sumner
Street
in
East
Boston.
This
is
I'm
seeking
a
one-year
extension
on
235
237
condo
Street.
This
board
voted
to
Grant
variances
back
in
2020
to
Iraq
to
six
unit
dwelling
with
six
parking
spaces.
The
applicant
is
very
diligently
working
towards
achieving
their
permit
and
we
do
expect
that
to
issue
very
soon.
A
Thank
you
may
I
have
a
motion.
E
Motion
to
Grant
the
first
extension,
it
expired
on
December
11
2022,
so
this
would
be
an
extension.
This
motion
would
be
an
extension
until
December,
11
2023.
X
Y
E
Next,
we
have
case
number
boa
77358.
What's
an
address
of
six
Avalon
Street
114.,
the
applicant
is
my
lamb.
Is
this
person
present
or
any
of
the
representatives.
J
J
You
know
so,
if
you're
on,
can
you
raise
your
hand
if
you're
on
for
this
podcast
do
not
see
them?
Don't
remember
them
checking
in
earlier.
G
Y
E
J
AA
J
F
Go
ahead,
yes,.
AB
So
we
just
had
a
covet
financing
delay.
E
Yes,
this
is
the
first
extension
which
expired
on
November
13
of
2022.,
so
that
would
be
in
line
for
an
extension
until
until
November
13th
of
2023
this
year.

AE
S
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adamson
morency
business
address
of
168
East
Street
first
floor,
South
Boston.
This
is
an
amendment
to
an
open,
ERT
permit,
which
was
approved
by
this
board
back
in
approximately
September
2019..
The
applicant
is
here
today
proposing
to
amend
the
approval
to
eliminate
the
rare
spiral
staircase
from
the
fourth
floor
to
the
exclusive
used
roof
deck
in
the
rear
and
provide
an
enclosed
stairway,
approximately
56
square
feet
for
Access
only
directly
from
unit
2
to
the
roof
deck
further.
AE
The
applicant
proposes
to
eliminate
the
fourth
floor,
rear
deck
and
to
extend
the
living
space
of
the
bedroom
by
approximately
a
minimal
of
111
square
feet,
while
maintaining
the
approved
footprint
of
the
building.
Also,
the
layout
of
the
first
floor
will
change
to
increase
the
dimension
of
the
bedroom
by
by
a
mere
10
square
feet.
The
original
approval
showed
the
red
deck
and
the
exterior
stairway
extended
to
the
property
line,
resulting
in
no
change
with
the
new
proposal
to
the
Radeon
setback.
AE
A
total
of
approximately
177
square
feet
will
increase
the
the
existing
living
area,
which
resulted
in
a
de
minimis
violation
of
the
far
at
this
point,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
for
any
questions
or
concerns.
We
could
just
focus
on
page
two
of
the
drawings
that
will
show
exactly
what
we're
proposing
here.
AG
A
Not
based
on
what
Mr
better
said,
may
I
have
a
motion.
I.
Y
Y
E
R
Yes
hi,
madam
chair
chairwoman
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Alfonso

I'm,
an
architect
I'm
representing
my
client.
The
address
is
16
done
more
Street
in
Boston,
and
my
client
is
looking
to
defer
the
project
at
this
point.
R
A
You
may
I
have
a
motion
or
are
there
any
questions.
AI
A
R
Could
we
have
I
think
the
client
would
throw
on
probably
like
I,
don't
know
if
there's
a
set
date,
but
at
least
two
months
or
a
month
and
a
half
I'm
not
really
sure
how
it
works?
Well,.
E
Mr

well,

It's
an

of

The
applicant

C
LLC
is
anyone
here

Hawaii

Yes,.
AJ
Good
morning,
Mr
secretary
and
Madam
chair
and
congratulations
on
your
elections,
offices
of
the
board
for
the
record,
my
name
is
Richard
Lynn,
it's
245,
Sumner,
Street,
East
Boston
here
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
for
62
King
Street.
With
respect
to
the
petition.
There
are
a
few
matters
that
are
before
the
board.
The
first
is
g-con
compliance,
I'm,
not
sure.
If
the
board
is
inclined
today.
AK
A
AJ
Problem
so
I
believe
we
have
two
matters:
first
of
the
the
g-cod
compliance
and,
secondly,
the
request
for
a
certain
zoning
relief
I'll,
take
it
out
of
whatever
order.
The
board
wants
to
hear
it
in.
E
AJ
The
Boston
Water
and
store
letter
I'm
sure
Mr
siminelli
can
confirm
that
as
well.
He.
AJ
With
respect
to
the
proposed
project
Madam
chair,
this
is
a
pre-existing
non-conforming
structure
located
in
the
Jeffrey's
point
section
of
East
Boston.
It's
non-conforming
only
by
way
of
dementia,
not
by
use
currently
is
a
free
family
dwelling
which
is
permitted
in
the
3F
2000
District,
where
this
property
is
located.
If
we
could
slide
down
to
slide
eight
just
so,
we
can
see
a
quick
street
view.
That'll
help
give
us
a
little
more
context
of
The
Proposal.
AJ
With
respect
to
what
we're
proposing
for
this
site
on
Geo,
we
are
proposing
a
complete
renovation
of
the
existing
structure.
Currently,
this
structure
contains,
as
I
mentioned
three
units,
a
total
of
eight
bedrooms.
Our
proposal
would
reprogram
the
entire
building
change
the
accuracy
from
three
units
to
four,
but
actually
reduce
the
number
of
bedrooms
from
eight
bedrooms
to
six
bedrooms.
AJ
The
proposal,
while
improving
the
building
itself,
including
the
life
safety,
will
allow
us
to
basically
do
all
the
renovations
within
the
footprint
of
the
building,
so
we're
not
proposing
any
addition
on
the
building
itself
or
any
height
increase
to
the
building.
This
is
all
done
within
the
envelope
of
the
existing
structure,
which
will
allow
us
to
create
one
additional
unit.
The
unit
mix
will
be
two
Studio
units
and
two
bi-level
two-bedroom
units.
AJ
The
two
Studio
units
be
located
on
the
lower
the
first
level,
with
the
two
two
bedroom
units
by
level
being
entered
on
the
second
level,
with
access
from
internal
stereo.
Up
to
third,
we
do
propose
to
include
a
roof
deck
for
each
of
the
upper
level
units,
so
units
three
and
four
would
have
roof
decks.
That
would
be
accessed
from
an
internal,
stairwell
and
hatch,
and
so
we
would
be
essentially
creating
additional
outdoor
space
for
that
upper
level.
AJ
One
of
the
features
of
adding
the
roof
deck
that
we
are
proposing
is
currently
there
is
an
old
head
house
on
the
building
in
connection
with
this
project.
We
would
actually
remove
the
head
house,
which
would
improve,
improve
I,
believe
the
sight
line
for
the
building
itself
and
the
surrounding
neighbors
I
see
that
we're
having
probably
a
little
technical
difficulty
with
some
of
the
slides
but
I'm
happy
to
pause.
If
there's
any
specific
questions
absolutely
now
until
we
can
get
that
up,
thank.
A
You
any
questions
on
the
plans:
MS
bedarraza.
AG
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
drawings
are
adequate.
My
only
question
would
be.
Are
you
open
to
restoring
those
window?
Openings
on
your
latest
drawings
is
on
the
second
floor
in
the
kitchen
it
seems
like
you
can
use
a
window
work
with
an
existing
window
and
then
on
the
third
floor.
AG
You
know
to
have
light
and
air
into
that
bathroom
as
as
possible.
So
those
were
only
kind
of
my
my
questions
for
the
applicant
sure.
AJ
If
we
could
just
Advance,
maybe
one
more
slide,
that
it'll
show
the
comparison
of
the
proposed
the
existing
and
the
proposed
like
we
do
have
Chris
Drew
on
from
686
architects,
who
is
a
project
architect,
so
Chris
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
could
address
Miss
betta
barraza's
question
regarding
the
windows
but
I,
don't
think
that's
a
tall
list.
Yeah.
F
AJ
Madam
chair,
if
I
could
just
add
one
other
thing
for
the
record,
this
project
did
have
a
robust
Community
process,
and
one
of
the
things
I
did
commit
to
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
was
a
good
neighbor
agreement.
We
worked
directly
with
the
butters
to
our
rear
to
incorporate
a
fence
per
their
selection,
as
well
as
a
number
of
commitments
regarding
the
construction
of
this
project
and
the
adjoining
project
next
door.
One
of
those
commitments
also
included
creating
because
we
aren't
providing
any
parking.
AJ
We
are
requesting
release
for
the
one
additional
parking
space
that
would
be
required
for
this
project.
We
did
make
a
commitment
that
our
condominium
documents
would
be
one
of
the
units
ineligible
for
Resident
parking,
certainly
because
of
parking
concerns
in
the
immediate
vicinity.
So
I
did
want
to
put
that
on
the
record.
I
know,
there's
probably
somebody
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
others,
just
want
to
make
sure
that
was
included
as
well.
Thank.
AL
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman,
with
the
mayor's
Neighborhood
Services
Hassan
mayor's
office
like
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board,
some
background
information
on
the
community
process,
ons
hosting
a
Butters
meeting
on
June
8th
of
2022
Juana
butter,
attended
the
meeting
and
had
questions
regarding
construction
plans
and
requests
to
avoid
closing
the
street
also
voice
concerns
regarding
parking.
The
applicant
then
went
on
to
the
Jeffrey's
Point
neighborhood
association
in
May
and
June
of
2022.
AL
The
association
voted
to
oppose
with
17
residents
against
eight
in
favor
and
five
abstaining.
Members
of
the
association
voiced
concerns
over
disturbance
and
noise
from
the
roof,
decks
and
loss
of
privacy
for
Neighbors
residents
also
voice
concerns
regarding
parking,
the
area
and
existing
density
of
the
area
as
well.
That's
when
the
applicant
agreed
to
restrict
unit
1
from
accessing
the
resident
parking
program
our
office
so
far
has
received
15
letters
in
support
and
one
letter
in
opposition
with
that.
We
refer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank
you.

you
can
see
at
first.
We
really
had
a
lot
of
challenges
with
this,
although
I
have
to
say
that
the
team
has
really
come
to
the
table
with
some
great
options,
we
were
able
to
provide
11
letters
of
support
just
through
direct
organizing.
AM
However,
if
you
see
all
those
letters
state
that
there
is
support,
given
that
the
unit
with
relief
is
a
two
bedroom,
not
one
of
the
studios,
unfortunately,
when
we
got
to
the
agreement
yesterday,
the
client
changed
his
mind
on
that
part
of
the
agreement.
So,
if
there's
any
like,
it
would
mean
a
lot
to
the
community
if
there
was
any
possible
way
for
the
parking
restriction
to
go
in
as
we
had
agreed
on
on
January
27th.
AJ
Yeah
just
briefly,
I
I
do
apologize
when
we
had
gone
through
the
conversations
back
and
forth.
I
was
of
the
understanding
when
the
request
was
made
that
this
be
that
we
specify
a
two-bedroom
unit.
I
I
believed
erroneously
at
the
time,
based
upon
the
number
of
projects
that
they're
all
two
veterans,
so
I
didn't
think
it
was
an
issue
and
looking
back,
we
are
reducing
the
bedroom,
countless
building
from
eight
to
six,
so
the
actual
bedroom
density
for
this
project
is
reducing.
AJ
We
did
commit
to
including
one
unit,
preferably
a
two
bedroom.
However,
we
said
based
upon
just
the
way
that
the
condo
process
works,
that
we
couldn't
necessarily
commit
to
that
right.
Now
we
certainly
will
commit
to
one
unit
whether
it's
a
one,
Studio
or
two
bedroom
would
remain
to
be
seen
until
such
time
as
the
condo
docs
were
finalized.
So
we
do
make
the
commitment
to
do
that.
I
just
can't
commit
to
the
two
bedroom
at
this
time.

Thank
you,
madam

good
morning,

first
floor
South
Boston
with
me
today
is
Chris
Peter
and
Maria
fumara,
who
are
the
owners
of
the
property,
as
you
can
see
that
what
was
read
into
record
this
brought
me
here
consists
of
five
residential
units
in
a
one
detached
commercial
one-story.
AE
Space
proposal
in
front
of
us
today
is
to
seeking
a
conditional
use
permit
to
change
the
occupancy
of
the
one-story
retail
space
to
a
small
restaurant
with
takeout.
The
concept
here
is
to
bring
an
authentic
Italian
restaurant
specializing
in
a
very
small
menu
of
Italian
sandwiches
for
just
for
takeout.
Only
as
you
can
see
here,
the
space
is
approximately
286
square
feet.
Hours
of
operation
will
will
be
from
10
a.m,
to
10
p.m.
AE
Peter
who's
joining
us
today
will
be
the
operator
he
comes
here
with
an
extensive
background
with
17
years
of
experience
in
the
restaurant
industry.
At
this
point
in
time,
I'm
gonna
pause
for
any
questions
from
the
board.
A
Right
and
just
to
confirm
any
work
is
internal,
correct.
Yes,
thank
you.
Any
questions
from
Ms
beta
Brasa
on
the
plans.
C
I'm
sure
yes,
I
have
a
question
for
Mr
Hampton.
Regarding
the
recommendation
for
design
review,
this
seems
pretty
minor.
So
with
that
Designer
view,
it'd
be
for
like
the
front
elevation
or
so.

There
were
no

raised
at
the

Someone
understanding
and
the

then
went
on
to

which
sent
a

So
we're
happy
to
bring

it's
a

A
B
A
You
Mr

here
all
right.
A
chair
is
also
present,
I,
guess
I,
guess
the
cold
weather
not
only
freezes
pipes
but
the
internet.
Let's
next
case.
E
AU
With
me
today
is
the
lead
architect,
cital
Patel,
who
will
give
a
presentation
about
the
building
and
Mark
McGowan
who's,
the
head
of
Boston
development
for
Oxford?
Who
will
be
available
to
answer
questions
I'll
just
give
you
first
a
quick
word
about
Oxford
and
the
requests
today
and
then
siddle
will
run
through
the
presentation.
AU
Oxford
is
a
real
estate
investment
and
development
firm
in
Boston
wholly
owned
by
the
Ontario
Municipal
Employees
Retirement
System,
because
Oxford
is
investing
Municipal,
Employee,
Retirement
money.
It
invests
in
Great
properties
in
strong
cities
like
Boston,
and
it
seeks
to
develop
projects
that
are
highly
sustainable
and
which
make
those
cities
better.
AU
We
think
we
have
one
of
those
projects
today.
Siddle
will
describe
the
project,
but
it
basically
involves
tearing
down
an
existing
vacant
building
at
125,
Lincoln
Street,
and
if
you
could
just
stay
on
that
slide
for
a
minute,
that'd
be
that'd,
be
great
and
we're
going
to
create.
We
propose
to
replace
that
existing
building
with
a
323
000
square
foot,
research,
building,
a
12,
000
square
foot
square
feet
of
ground
floor,
retail
and
up
to
150
parking
spaces
to
accomplish
that.
AU
We're
also
seeking
relief
from
certain
design
Provisions,
which
don't
work
for
the
building
and
conditional
use
permits
to
maintain
the
current
150
parking
spaces
and
to
comply
with
the
groundwater,
conservation
overlay,
District
requirements
and
the
daycare
requirements
in
support
of
our
application.
We've
submitted
materials
which
include
the
appeal
itself,
which
describes
everything
in
Greater
detail
the
bpda
board,
memo
which
describes
the
project
and
the
process,
the
no
harm
letter
and
other
materials
to
support
the
groundwater
request
and
economic
feasibility
memo.
That
outlines
why
the
release
is
necessary
and
a
copy
of
today's
presentation.
AU
We've
also
submitted
letters
of
support
and
I
know.
There
are
people
here
today
who
intend
to
speak
on
the
project,
but
that
background
I'd
like
to
introduce
the
project
architect
siddle
Patel,
who
will
describe
the
project
site
its
challenges,
the
context,
the
community
process
and
the
proposed
project.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
Mr
Radigan
and
just
on
the
community
process,
I
believe
bpdas.
The
project
manager
for
this
project
is
on
so
I
would
like
them
to
focus
on
that
Community
process.
Thank
you.
AV
Great
thank
you
John
good
morning,
members
of
the
board,
siddle
Patel
principal
at
S9
architecture,
we're
the
design
architect
for
the
applicant
to
quickly
Orient
everyone.
If
you
move
to
the
next
slide,
please
quickly,
Orient
everyone
with
the
project
location.
The
site
is
three
blocks
west
of
South
Station
and
is
a
hinge
between
three
distinct
communities
and
neighborhoods.
The
leather
District
Chinatown
and
the
financial
district
site
is
an
irregular
shaped
lot.
AV
That
is
bound
by
a
small
parking
lot
and
Triangle
Park
and
the
tunnel
entrance
to
the
I-93
through
way
to
its
North
Lincoln
Street
to
the
west,
to
east
sorry,
Beach
Street
to
the
South
and
is
separated
from
surface
Road
in
Chinatown
by
the
I-93
down
ramp
to
the
Thruway
next
slide.
Please,
oh
sorry,
on
this
slide
as
well.
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
79
Essex
in
blue
towards
the
left.
This
is
a
existing
building
that
Oxford
owns
and
we'll
be
referencing
throughout
this
presentation,
because
it's
the
proposed
location
of
permanently
affordable
housing.
AV
Our
next
slide,
please
wanted
to
briefly
outline
for
the
board
some
of
the
characteristics
of
the
site
that
makes
its
development
uniquely
difficult.
The
project
site
is
currently
occupied
by
an
above
grade.
1950S
parking
garage
well
past
its
useful
life,
as
I
mentioned
before
the
site
itself,
is
an
irregular
shaped
lot
and
it's
effectively
accessed
only
on
two
sides,
with
the
I-93
tunnel
entrance
towards
the
West,
preventing
any
direct
access
to
surface
Road
and
towards
the
north.
AV
It
is
isolated
from
Essex
Crossing
by
a
small
Triangle,
Park
and
and
the
street
parking
a
small
parking
lot
with
only
two
viable
sides
to
access
the
building.
The
development
team
had
a
very
difficult
time
and
latitude
planning
things,
locating
things
like
loading,
docks,
curb,
Cuts
building
entry
and
achieving
continuous
retail.
Additionally,
there
are
also
significant
Urban
Design
challenges
around
our
site
that
we
felt
needed
to
be
addressed.
AV
The
physical
separation
of
the
site
from
chin
Park
and
the
leather
District
by
a
wide
Street
at
surface
Road,
as
well
as
the
tunnel
entrance,
a
poor
pedestrian
experience
because
of
narrow
sidewalks
along
both
Beach
and
Lincoln,
as
well
as
towards
Essex
crossing
a
very
little
use,
Park
Triangle
Park.
That
leads
to
a
significantly
unsafe
intersection
at
Essex.
Crossing
next
slide.
Please
so
bpda
is
going
to
speak
to
process,
but
we
have
gone
through
an
extensive
and
exhaustive
articulating
process,
and
through
this
process
we
did
try.
AV
It
were
very
hard
to
respond
both
to
site
challenges
and
Community
concerns
with
the
height
and
bulk
of
the
building
being
of
central
concern
conveyed
to
us.
We
sought
to
address
this
concern,
in
particular
by
changing
the
use
reworking
floor
plates
to
be
more
efficient,
address,
adding
setbacks
along
Lincoln,
Street
and
redistributing
floor
area
horizontally
over
the
I-93
tunnel,
all
of
which,
as
you
can
see
here,
led
to
a
reduction
in
height
over
time.
AV
Next
slide,
please
so
briefly,
our
goals,
the
dwelling
team's
goals,
We
Believe,
are
consistent
with
that
of
the
community,
replace
the
above
grade
garage
and
in
doing
so,
bringing
energy
and
economic
activity.
The
three
neighborhoods
meaningful
investment
in
the
public,
realm
activation
of
the
ground
floor
and
stitching
the
neighborhoods
together
at
the
ground
plane,
and
also
investing
significant
resources
in
the
city's
housing
crisis
and
also
having
a
decarbonizing
building
all
of
these
goals.
We
feel
we've
met
or
exceeded
with
this
project.
Next
slide,
please
the
site
plan.
AV
This
is
the
proposed
site
plan
for
the
project,
highlighting
some
of
the
solutions
we
developed
in
concert
with
the
city
and
Community
China
just
to
orient
everyone
Chinatown
is
towards
the
top
of
the
page,
Essex
Crossing
to
your
right
and
then
Lincoln
Street
sort
of
through
the
middle
here.
AV
The
plaza
would
be
activated
and
secured
by
active
retail
on
the
corner
of
Beach
and
surface
Road,
a
pedestrianized
beast
Beach
Street
with
landscaping
and
a
wider
sidewalk
full
block
of
retail
activation
along
Beach
Street
between
surface
Road
and
Lincoln
Street,
and
also
a
commitment
to
planning
this
in
a
way
that
would
accommodate
a
banquet
hall.
Something
that
was
communicated
to
us
is
very
critical
and
important
to
the
Chinatown
community.
In
an
effort
to
reinforce
the
connection
between
Essex
Crossing
and
the
leather
District.
AV
AV
We
do
this
through
a
discontinuance
of
tough
street
that
allows
us
to
internalize
our
loading
and
all
the
truck
turning
that
serves
the
building
on
our
site
down
here
in
the
lower
right,
there's
also
commitment
from
Oxford
to
renovate
leather
District
park.
A
Air
right,
so,
okay,
I'm
sorry,
can
you
focus
on
the
violations.
I
realize
you
probably
have
a
full-blown
presentation,
but
we
have
like
20
or
30
cases
after
this.
So
just
it's
short
thank
you.
AV
What
I'll
do
is
I,
basically
I'll
just
kind.
Is
it
okay,
if
I
just
skip
through
to
the
end?
AV
So
if
we
can
move
through
to
I,
think
the
appendix
has
the
violations
so
I
think
through
these
through
the
next
series
of
slides,
we
were
just
talking
about
public
Improvement
and
what
we
propose
to
bring
in
terms
of
the
ground,
plane
and
public
benefit.
These
are
the
zoning
relief
conditions
that
that
we
seek
John.
Did
you
want
to
speak
to
this,
or
do
you
want
me
to
go
ahead?
AV
Settle
so
conditional
use
I'm
just
going
to
read
through
these,
so
it's
a
conditional
use
permanent
for
article
6
and
32
conditional
use
permits
article
6
and
44
zoning
code
with
respect
to
the
parking
garage,
there's,
obviously
there's
a
an
abatement
with
regards
to
facilities
the
height
and
far.
AV
We
are
seeking
relief,
variances
for
specific
requirements
with
respect
to
the
ground,
use
ground,
plane,
use
street
street
wall
setback
all
speak
towards
the
height
and
bulk
of
the
building
and
those
variances
that
we
seek
and
in
the
windows
along
surface
artery
and
finally,
the
principal
entrants
we're
looking
we're.
Locating
along
Lincoln
Street,
primarily
to
achieve
full
retail
along
Beach,
Street
and
also
is,
is
a
play
with
loading
dock
entrances
as
well.
AW
A
You
and
I
know
Mr
belchik
is
here
from
the
bpda.
Do
you
want
to
just
speak
briefly
on
a
cleaning
process,
and
obviously
this
is
a
BPD
approved
large
project
new
project,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
folks
hear
that
because
they're
going
to
have
questions
anyway
about
Community
process
Etc,
so.
I
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
As
you
mentioned,
Quinn
balance
has
been
here
on
behalf
of
the
development
review
Department
of
bpda.
I
So,
as
you
alluded
to,
or
as
heard
me
as
the
proponents
alluded
to,
this
project
did
have
over
three
years
of
review
a
significant
number
of
community
meetings,
both
BBA
sponsored
and
developer,
sponsored
through
that
process.
There
were
significant
reductions
in
massing
public
realm
improvements
and
Community
benefits
that
were
reached.
I
do
have
my
colleague
Kenan
rim
on
who
would
be
better
to
speak
to
some
of
the
planning
references
and
how
the
project
meets
the
BPA
and
the
city's
planning
goals.
If
that's
all
right,
it
would
be
all
right
for
her
to
speak
now.
AB
You
Kenneth
good
morning,
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Kevin
Ryan
I'm,
the
deputy
director
for
downtown
neighborhood
planning
at
the
ppda
and
oversee
the
neighborhood
planning
team
who
reviewed
this
project
so
I'm
here
today,
because
I'm
member
of
2017
2022
the
board
approved
this
project
and
is
seeking
for
the
zba
to
kind
of
approve
the
variances
and
conditional
use
permits
requested.
I
want
to
speak
a
little
bit
to
how
the
planning
team
reviewed
this
because
it
was
a.
AB
It
was
a
complex
project
for
review
the
proposed
projects
located
within
article
44.
It's
also
within
the
coastal
flood
resiliency
overlay
District
in
the
greenway
overlay,
District
The
Greenway
overlay
District,
reflects
guidance
of
the
2010
Ford
adopted
Greenway
District
planning
study.
So
that's
the
primary
guiding
document
we
use
to
review
the
project.
AB
Guidance
for
this
project
specifically
prioritize
the
legibility
of
the
beech
tree
Corridor
and
connecting
the
greenway
to
and
through
Chinatown,
and
the
leather
District
by
concentrating
active
ground
floor
uses
along
Beach
Street,
mitigating
the
negative
impacts
on
the
I-93
map,
an
Associated
inaccessible,
disconnected
and
unprogrammed
public
Realm
The
Greenway
District
study
also
recommended
the
bill.
Building
an
80-foot
tall
Street
wall
Edge
to
align
with
the
adjacent
buildings
in
a
maximum
overall
height
of
100
feet
to
align
with
the
leather
District
zoning
height
and
devoid
overshadowed
Greenway.
AB
I
want
to
be
here
at
the
proposed
project
complies
with
some
aspects,
but
not
all
of
it,
but
we
do
recommend
approval
for
a
few
key
reasons.
The
proposed
Patrick
lines
with
some
aspects,
including
the
activation
The
Beech
Tree
Corridor,
the
retail,
face
the
public
realm
and
sidewalk
Improvement,
and
the
crossing
improvements
at
Lincoln,
Beach
and
Service
Road.
The
proposed
project
is
not
align
with
the
height
recommendations
as
I
just
outlined.
AB
The
proposed
project
includes
the
ability
to
meet
some
of
the
planning
goals,
also
outlined
by
the
ongoing
plan
downtown
by
providing
significant
public
realm
improvements
in
the
neighborhood
adjacent
to
the
project
site
in
an
affordable
housing
restoration
opportunity
at
79,
Essex
Street
located
in
Chinatown
79
Essex
Street
is
approximately
two
blocks
from
the
proposed
project
in
the
Chinatown
neighborhood
and
is
a
suitable
location
for
the
Adaptive
reuse
of
the
chinatown's
historic
building
stock,
while
creating
50
to
60
permanently
affordable
housing
units.
Thank
you
very
much
and
please,
let
me
know
or
Quinn
know.
A
Thank
you
with
that.
Let
me
open
it
up
to
questions
from
the
board
Miss
bed
Barraza
any
questions
on
the
plans.
AF
I
I
do
have
some.
AG
Questions
and
and
perhaps
the
bpda
can
help
answer
some
of
them.
One
of
them
is.
Can
you
explain
why
the
bcdc
had
some
reservations
about
the
project
and
how
were
they
addressed
during
the
article
80
Large
review
process.
AB
The
pcdc
had
concerns
with
the
overall
height
proposal
and
as
I
outlined,
this
isn't
consistent
with
the
guidance
of
the
greenway
District
plan
or
the
zoning
on
the
high
proposal
piece.
We
looked
holistically
at
what
some
of
the
opportunities
provided
by
the
project
and
saw
the
significant
contribution
of
permeable
permanent,
affordable
housing
opportunity
in
this
area
as
a
key
criteria,
along
with
the
activation
of
the
greenway
as
another
key
piece
in
this,
and
so
we
thought
very
hard
about
the
trade-offs
of
that
decision.
When
recommending
this
for
board
approval.
AG
AG
AB
AB
I
don't
know,
could
someone
from
the
proponent
team
potentially
answer
that
question.
AX
Baraza,
so
just
on
the
summary
they're,
ninety
percent
of
the
park
is
free
as
Shadows
by
11
A.M.
The
sun's
Arc
has
an
impact
on
on
most
portions
of
the
government
before
before
10,
but
but
everything's
gone
by
11..
AX
AG
And
then,
and
please
other
board,
members
can
also
jump
on
some
of
the
questions,
while
I
kind
of
have
some
of
them
come
up,
but
one
of
the
most
important
items
were
in
terms
of
guidelines
to
activate
B
Street
and
it
seems
like
the
proposal.
Does
that
correct
it
really
activates
The
Pedestrian
activity
along
B
Street?
Can
you
confirm
that.
AX
It
it
does,
and
we
made
a
lot
of
effort
to
to
remove
the
current,
curb,
cut
and
activate
from
from
property
line
to
property
line
for
a
future
future
use
to
activate
it.
A
restaurant.
AG
Okay
and
then
the
other
issue
that
I
had-
and
this
is
probably
more
for
the
bpda
Essex
Street-
there's
a
property
that
is
being
held
for
there
to
be
permanent,
affordable
housing
that
is
owned
by
the
developer.
But
it's
providing
only
one
year
for
the
AC
DC
to
be
able
to
acquire
that
property,
but
if
it's
not
being
acquired,
there
are
plans
that
the
developer
would
be
PDA
in
the
city
of
Boston
would
potentially
renegotiate
to
another
developer
that
revive
permanent
sort
of
a
housing
on
that
property.
AG
AB
So
we
actually
have
a
member
from
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
here
to
testify
as
well
on
this
project.
Who
can
speak
towards
the
Ami
units.
We
did
not
provide
a
restriction
because
we
deferred
to
the
department
to
work
out
the
negotiation
negotiation
for
work,
what
worked
best
in
this
location
and
for
their
department,
and
so
we
worked
very
closely
with
them
to
make
sure
that
we
were
achieving
both
the
planning
goals
but
career,
creating
an
opportunity
that
was
appropriate
for
this.
This
site
location,
using
their
guidance
and.
A
J
Yes,
he's
on
one
second,
let
me
thanks
Jessica.
AY
Hello,
everyone
can
you
hear
me
I,
yes,
I
guess:
I
can
monitor
my
hand,
I'm
Jessica
Boatwright
I'm,
the
deputy
director
for
Neighborhood
Housing
Development
at
the
mayor's
office
of
housing.
AG
AG
And
so
it
provided
in
the
memorandum
one
year
for
AC
DC
to
potentially
be
able
to
develop
that.
But
there
were
no
indications
to
restrictions
in
terms
of
affordability.
AY
AY
The
The
Proposal
is
that
it
would
is
that
it
would
be
developed
into
a
building
that
would
use
both
linkage
funds
from
this
project
and
some
city
funding
to
create
the
affordability
of
a
of
a
building
would
be
a
hundred
percent
affordable
and
any
of
our
funds
come
with
a
per
a
deed
restriction
in
perpetuity.
AY
So
the
I
guess
the
projection
is:
is
that
that
the
deed
restriction
will
come
at
the
time
of
closing
on
the
affordable
housing
project
and
that
the
the
proponent
here,
the
developer
of
Lincoln
Street,
has
made
a
number
of
commitments
to
help
support
the
transfer
of
that
property
from
Oxford
to
ACDC.
So
the
city
has
a
level
of
confidence
that
that's
the
path
this
is
going
to
take.
W
AU
You,
if
I
might
be
able
to
help
the
board
understand
that,
unlike
other
projects
that
you
may
have
seen,
we
will
not
be
developing
this
housing,
so
the
Asian
CDC
will
be
developing
with
assistance,
as
Jessica
said,
from
the
mayor's
office
of
Housing
and
and
and
so
the
proportions
of
Ami
and
the
percent.
Various
percentages
will
be
worked
out
by
agent,
CDC
and
Jessica
without
any
involvement
from
the
development.
A
E
One
question
Madam
chair:
yes,
sir,
so
the
proponents
or
the
BPA
I
believe
that
we
stated
all
the
current
businesses
on
the
site
would
be
would
be
returning.
AX
Just
vacated,
we
worked
with
Helen
moon
to
relocate
down
the
street
to
Essex
Essex
Street
right
next
to
79
Essex.
So
we
worked
collaboratively
with
that
business
owner,
but
upon
the
the
opening
we
we
anticipate
and
really
want
to
work
with
the
neighborhood
about
bringing
another
banquet
hall
to
Chinatown,
something
that
we
heard
throughout
the
process.
A
B
Yeah
I'm
sure
so
the
transfer
of
679
A6
that
building
is
the
transfer
is
part
of
the
linkage
contribution
in
Innovation
to
that
transfer.
AU
So,
if
I
could
answer
that,
Madam
chair
the
yes,
the
the
contribution
of
79
Essex
Street
and
the
money
to
support
79
Essex
Street
is
in
addition
to
the
linkage
requirements.
Okay,
we
have
requested
that
just
because
we
favor
the
development
of
79
Essex
and
would
like
to
see
it
succeed
at
the
lowest
possible
Ami.
We
have
requested
that
our
linkage
dollars
be
put
into
that
project,
but
that's
up
to
the
bpda
and
the
housing
Neighborhood
Housing
Trust
I
should
say
not
bpdn,
okay,
but
it's.
In
addition,
it's
completely
separate
requirements.
AU
We
have
an
agreement
with
the
city
to
provide
the
provide
the
land
enter
and
the
building
and
to
provide
additional
funds.
The
the
selection
we've
proposed,
Asian,
CDC
I,
think
gilo,
is,
is
here
today
to
to
speak
to
this,
and
but
It
ultimately
is
in
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
to
to
to
make
sure
that
works.
AU
AG
I
saw
that
there
was
a
time
span
of
one
year
to
AC
DC.
Is
there
a
possibility
to
extend
that
and
kind
of
further
negotiations
with
with
the
agency
and
moh.
AU
A
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there's
time
for
public
testimony,
so
good
board
members,
if
you
have
other
questions
Let's,
let's
listen
to
public
testimony
and
circle
back
on
that
Jessica.
K
A
AY
I
just
wanted
to
state
that
our
office
strongly
supports
this
project,
as
as
people
have
been
talking
about
it.
Unlocks
increased
access
to
housing
for
low-income
bostonians
in
Chinatown,
which
is
a
neighborhood,
was
really
critical
need
for
housing
stability
and
a
neighborhood
where
it's
often
Out
Of
Reach,
for
our
partners
to
develop
because
of
the
high
cost
of
land
and
property
and
and
the
125
Lincoln
team
has
committed
to
help
defray
those
costs.
AY
So
we
are
very
excited
about
seeing
the
Essex
Street
component
of
this
proceed,
which
is
you
know,
as
we've
heard,
intricately
tied
to
125
Lincoln
Street.
So
thank
you
to
the
board
and
and
and
we
are
hoping
that
that
you
feel
good
about
approving
this
project.
AL
Madam
chair
members
of

board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor,
soft
Neighborhood,
Services,
you've
already
spoken
to
several
City
agencies,
but
this
took
an
extensive
three-year
process,
we're
hearing
from
a
lot
of
voices
and
differing
opinions
from
both
Chinatown
and
the
leather
District.
We
received
letters
of
support
from
the
Chinatown
Business
Association
Chinatown
main
streets
regarding
the
proponent's
commitment
to
assisting
with
that
linkage
fund
for
79
Essex
Street.
AL
We
also
heard
from
other
voices
in
the
leather
District
expressing
concerns
about
the
height
and
Basin
and
the
potential
impacts
on
the
greenway
and
other
shadows
in
the
neighborhood
that
we
defer
to
the

Thank
you.

Yes,
I,
but
let
me
go
from
BTD
Madam,
chair

members
of

I
was
just
wondering
how
many
of
the

are
going
to
be
electrified
or
they
can
charge
the
vehicles
while
they're
packed
in

Lawrence

Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I'm,
a
resident
owner
who
lives
directly
across
the
street
at
116
Lincoln
Street
in
association
with
the
listed
violations.
The
proposed
project
should
be
held
accountable
to
violations
of
The
Guiding
purpose
of
the
zoning
code,
naming
Article
1
Section
1-2
to
promote
the
health,
safety
and
Welfare
of
the
inhabitants
of
Boston,
particularly
the
historical
other
District,
where
the
project
is
cited,
as
demonstrated
by
public
presentations.
BD
Rather
than
conserve
the
value
of
existing
land
and
buildings
across
Lincoln
Street,
the
introduction
of
150
Bermuda
cars
and
tractor-trailer
trucks
that
served
the
property
will
magnify
not
less
than
traffic
congestion
on
Lincoln
Street,
especially
during
rush
hour
and
increased
air
pollution
that
would
is
already
propagated
by
Vehicles,
exiting
from
nearby
I-93
to
buses
from
South
Station,
two
municipal
bus
lines,
school
buses
and
numerous
little
very
service
vehicles
that
further
diminish
the
quality
of
adequate
air
as
the
health
of
residents
and
endangered
their
safety,
especially
families
with

These
demonstrate
overcrowding,
the

diminishes
the

one
last
closing
sentence,

chair
and
board
members.
I
am
speaking
in
favor
I'm
I
live
at
112
Beach
Street,
which
is
half
a
block
from
the
site.
I'm
a
15
year
resident
of
the
leather
District
I've
long
felt
that
it
would
be
best
for
our
neighborhood
to
remove
the
garage
and
replace
it
with
another
building
and
have
more
activation
of
Beach
and
Lincoln
Street
and
my
profession
for
the
last
50
years
has
been
doing
real
estate
development
development,
Consulting
planning
and
doing
numerous
feasibility
studies.
BE
That
I,
don't
believe
you
know,
give
them
the
the
value
of
that
property
they
having
to
to
replace
the
revenue
from
from
the
the
uses
that
have
been
there
in
the
past,
as
well
as
as
cover
the
cost
of
development
costs
of
a
new
building
that
we
would
ever
see
a
a
building
of
100
feet
to
replace
this.
BE
It
just
does
not
make
economic
sense
from
from
my
long
experience
and
Analysis,
therefore
I'm
in
I'm,
in
favor
of
of
of
the
the
the
board
granting
the
variance
thank.
BF
Hey
everybody:
I
am
a
weather,
District
residents
I
live
at
116
Lincoln
street
directly
across
from
the
the
loading
dock
and
I'd
like
to
speak
in
opposition
to
the
project
if
they
have
numerous
times
over
these
60
plus
Community
meetings
over
the
last
three
years.
First,
the
math
thing
we
know
is
over
twice
as
what
is
permitted
by
the
greenway
District
planning
study.
Second,
the
bcdc
unanimously
very
unusual
unanimous
vote
opposed
this
car.
Okay.
AA
A
AT
On
the
leather
District
resident
architect
and
iag
member
for
this
project,
I'm
speaking
in
opposition,
we
just
saw
a
slide
containing
a
list
of
the
zoning
violations
contained
within
the
125
Lincoln
Street
proposal.
It
was
an
abbreviated
list,
whether
you
believe
zoning
should
be
a
set
of
rules
and
regulations
that
need
to
be
adhered
to,
or
you
believe
that
zoning
should
focus
on
goals
and
outcomes.
It
is
impossible
to
overlook
the
fact
that
125
Lincoln
Street
has
taken
a
zero
zoning
approach.
AT
The
Proposal
dismisses
almost
every
condition
set
forth
in
both
article
44
and
the
greenway
District
planning
study,
even
after
a
four-year
article
80
process
and
a
vote
of
opposition
from
the
bosticks
Boston
Civic
design,
commission,
The,
Proposal
places
significant
burden
on
its
neighbors
and
the
public
realm
and
I
do
not
see
how
the
board
can
approve
it
without
undermining
both
the
value
of
zoning
and
the
legal
framework
that
has
been
put
in
place
to
protect
the
city
of
Boston
from
harmful
development.
I
urge
the
board
to
oppose
this
proposal.
BG
Opposition
of
this
project
again,
the
bcdc
voted
unanimously
against
this
project
and
I
wanted
to
address
Ken
and
Rye's
comments
about
improving
the
greenway
dropping
at
196-foot
lab
on
Greenway
does
not
improve
the
public
realm.
The
public
realm
extends
far
beyond
the
ground
level.
This
will
eradicate
airspace
and
Light.
BG
BH
I
I
am
in
support
just
very
quickly,
I
want
to
Echo
what
Drew
said
that
this
is
like
an
economic,
quick
pro
quo.
We,
my
wife,
Kate
and
I,
live
at
108
Lincoln,
we
are,
are
not
thrilled
about
our
views
and
our
light
being
obliterated
and
the
rest
of
the
call
it
negative
consequences.
But
on
the
other
hand,
we
are
big
Believers
in
the
need
for
public
realm
improvements
in
additional,
affordable
housing,
and
so
we
we
compromise.
We
say
we
don't
love
it,
but
if
this
is
what
it
takes
and
I
think
Drew
said
it.
BI
Thank
you
very
much.
Larry
Rosenbloom
I
live
at
118,
South,
Street
and
I
wish
to
speak
in
opposition
to
the
project
and
I'll
make
this
very
brief.
BI
BC
I'm,
sorry,
can
you
hear
me
Madam
Jim?
Yes,.
AU
I
can
answer
that
Madam
chair,
the
answer
is
the
BTD
requirements.
Are
the
25
of
the
spaces?
Are,
will
will
be
equipped
with
electric
charging
stations
on
day?
One
that's
38
spaces
in
our
case,
and
100
of
the
spaces
will
be
EV
ready
for
future
installation,
so
the
conduits
and
stuff
will
be
there
and
ready
for
it
ready
to
accommodate
future
growth
of
electric
vehicles.
Thank.
A
You
with
that
are
there
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
After
hearing
all
the
comments,
I.
AG
AX
Question
we
do
not
have
a
tenant,
but
we
love
this
neighborhood.
We
love
this
location,
confident
that
that
will
find
one
and
get
this
project
going.
So
we
also
designed
it
just
to
be
flexible.
There's
there's
cases
in
Cambridge
where
an
office
tenant
might
might
want
to
take
the
space
so
we're
we're
redesigned
with
flexibility,
but
super
confidential
location.
A
A
Okay,
obviously
we
know
BPD
is
a
project,
so
Mr
simonian.
BJ
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Paul,
simonian
one
111,
Beach,
Street
resident
owner
I'm
speaking
in
favor
and
I'll,
be
very
brief.
Just
point
out
that
economics
have
certainly
changed
since
all
the
studies
that
folks
in
opposition
point
out,
and
this
building
is
a
massive
Improvement
on
the
site.
Clearly,
what's
there
is
the
complete
blight
on
the
on
the
entire
neighborhood?
It
also
is
very
positive
to
the
area
with
a
lot
of
improvements
that
are
very
desperately
needed
to
keep
our
area
vibrant.
BJ
Thank
you
for
hearing
my
my
comments.
A
Thank
you.
Oh
sorry,
with
that,
can
we
go
back
to
any
other
board
questions
either
for
BPD
or
in
the
proponent.
Before
we
take
a
motion,
any
other
questions.
AX
So
we
are,
the
current
garage
now
has
has
150
spaces
we're
planning
on
keeping
keeping
that
something
that
the
neighbors
were
very
vocal
about
was
was
access
to
parking
for
them
long
term,
so
we've
We've
fought
to
keep
as
many
parking
spaces
as
possible
in
response
to.
AX
It's
going
to
be
open
to
the
public
and
we'll
we'll
work
with
the
community
to
make
sure
there's
shared
access
to.
B
Okay,
no
more
questions.
Thank
you.
A
Please,
mindful
of
time
guys.
C
Yes,
so
just
building
up
Miss
Miss
bedagras's
question
about
a
change
in
use
with
the
public
benefits
still
carry.
If
there
were
a
change
in
use
from
a
lab
tenant
to
a
commercial
office
tenant.
AX
Yeah
right
now,
all
of
our
benefits
are
tied
to
the
building
permit
in
certain
thresholds.
So
so,
as
we
see
it
today,
those
those
still
standing.
AG
Madam
chair
I
like
to
perform
a
motion
to
approve
with
bpda
design
review
with
all
the
noted
Provisions,
as
outlined
in
the
article
80,
be
large
project
review
memorandum,
but
specifically
paying
attention
to
three
critical
items.
One
is
that
79x
street
contributes
to
50
to
60,
affordable
housing
with
the
lowest
Ami,
that
it
supports
the
Halal
Moon
relocation
and
that
the
contribution
to
the
Josiah
Quincy
Elementary
School
for
stem
educational
resources
stands.
Y
Y
E
Bear
with
me
Madam
chair
at
this
point
since
we're
past
the
10
30
Mark
would
be
good
to
ask
for
the
referrals
or
hearings.
E
BK
BK
Z
We
we
are
on
the
agenda
in
February
later
this
month,.
B
A
You
may
I
have
a
second
okay,
okay,
miss
my
Baraza.
AG
G
A
Stembridge,
yes,
thank
you.
Mr
Collins,
yes,
okay,
chair
votes,
yes
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
have.
E
The
next
is
boa
141
4968
address
of
16
Nightingale
Street
they're,
ready,
powerful
performance
to
the
applications.
Are
there
any
ones
to
speak
on
the
case.
BL
Yeah
I'm,
the
only
American
speaker
and
on
my
architect,
Eric
zachison,
is
also
with
me
as
well.
Thank.
BL
Oh
okay,
my
name
is
Alexander.
It's
called
I'm
the
owner
of
69
in
Gale,
I've
owned
it
since
2017
or
18
I,
don't
remember,
and
the
building
basically
burned
down
in
late
2020.
There
was
a
fire.
We
never
determined
the
cause,
but
basically
looking
at
the
cost.
To
rebuild
it
to
it,
didn't
make
sense
to
the
building
is
another
free
family
because
it
would
have
been
more
expensive
than
just
buying
another
three
family.
So
I
spoke
to
an
architect
and
I'm
proposing
to
change
it
to
a
fore
family.
BL
We're
not
making
it
now,
despite
the
violations,
we're
not
making
the
building
higher
than
it
was
because
there
was
an
attic
area
that
was
previously
unused
on
the
fourth
floor
and
we're
basically
changing
the
shape
of
that
and
we're
making
it
to
a
proposing
to
make
it
into
an
actual
unit.
BL
BL
Meeting
on
May
26th,
there
were
two
people
who
showed
up.
No
one
was
against
it,
the
the
two
brothers
they
had
questions
about
the
use
about
parking
about
Greenery
the
Technologies
were
actually
like
against
it.
They
were
more
like
they
were
trying
to
ask
College.
BL
We're
not
changing
the
envelope
of
the
building
we
are.
We
do
have
a
support
letter
of
support
from
the
waters
meeting
as
well,
and
the
agreement
is
also
or
I
guess.
The
suggestion
is
also
that
we
I
had
some
more
cleaner
in
the
back,
which
we're
planning
to
do
anyway
to
make
the
new
building
marketing.
Thank.
L
AL
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office,
Neighborhood
Services,
to
sign
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
As
you
heard,
the
applicant
mention
we
had
a
Butters
being
on
May
26th.
They
went
then
went
on
to
the
Talbot
Harvard
triangle
community
group,
where
they
received
support
from
that
Civic.
AL
The
Civic
also
had
recommendations
regarding
some
greenscaping
and
Landscaping,
which
you
heard
the
applicant
mention
a
request
that
emergency
evacuation
plan
be
posted
in
the
hallway
of
each
unit,
as
well
as
the
building
be
fully
sprinkled.
There's
lots
of
issues
with
flyers
in
this
portion
of
Boston,
as
well
as
some
roof
designs,
to
ensure
that
there's
no
water
runoff
onto
neighboring
properties.
We
receive
one
line
of
support
from
that
said,
Civic
Group,
which
I
think
the
board
has
access
to
with
that
we
defer
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
Thank.

Good

Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I,
don't
see
any
of
the
parking
spaces
reflected
on
the
plan.
I
know,
there's
a
area
but
I
don't
see
any
spaces
at
the
pick,
how's
impossible
to
be
packed
so
Derek
is
there
any
way
you
can
talk
to
the
architect
and
see
if
they
can
do
that.
Z
BK
BC
Maybe
I'm
not
making
myself
clear,
you
have
to
show
the
actual
Vehicles
how
they
will
be
packed
and
that's
normal
procedure.
I
see
the
spaces,
but
you
know
I
understand
but
I
want
to
see
the
vehicle
shown
on
the
plan,
as
every
other
project
does
so
I'm.
Making
that
request
we.

Madam

to

We've
had
some
Personnel
changes.
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
information
on
this
proposal,

they
did
meet
with
the
local
Civic
group,
The

we
defer
to

you.

A
AG
For
the
next
year,
the
next
case
gets
called
since
Tom
is
here.
Can
that
we
make
a
can
I
make
a
note
for
Tom
to
let
ISD
know
that
survey
plot
plans
should
have
the
cars
has
just
Bob
D'amico
just
mentioned
that
it
should
not.
We
should
not
receive
it
unless
ISD
has
provided
that
information
to
the
applicant
Tom.
H
I
can
tell
ISD
that,
but
it's
up
to
them
what
documents
they're
going
to
be,
you
know
revealing
and
continuing
so
I
can
certainly
see
if
they
can
push
that
up.
Ask
the
applicant
for
that
information.
You
know,
I
think
the
applicant
of
this
case
did
provide
appropriately
sized
spaces
marked
on
their
site
plan.
So
I
don't
know
what
else
they
could
provide.
Really.
Okay,.

examiner
did
discover
a
new

I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
West
Broadway
in
South,
Boston
I
represented
Elizabeth
and
Brian
Angel,
who
owned
a
lot
of
seven
Rosemont
Street.
They
also
own
the
directly
abutting
three
family
dwelling
at
498,
Adams
Street
and
they
own
and
live
in
the
abutting
single
family.
At
five
Ainsley
Street
The
Proposal
is
to
erect
a
new
two
family
dwelling
on
the
lot
at
seven
Rosemont
Street.
BO
The
motivation
behind
this
is
the
desire
to
allow
a
Brian,
Angel's
aging
parents,
to
move
into
one
of
the
two
units
with
the
second
unit
providing
a
rental
stream.
The
lot
size
is
2850
square
feet
and
the
zoning
sub
district
is
one
at
five
thousand
under
article
65
of
variance
is
therefore
required
for
the
use,
since
its
proposed
to
family
dwelling
in
a
one-ups
of
district,
and
another
variance
is
required
on
the
lot
size
as
5
000
square
feet.
BO
Here
is
the
required
minimum
size
there's
an
off
street
parking
violation
owing
to
the
fact
that
article
65
requires
two
parking
spaces
for
two
dwelling
units.
Here
there
are
two
spaces,
but
they
are
in
tandem.
Configuration
table
F
of
article
65
provides
that
an
osprey
parking
space
designed
so
that
a
vehicle
cannot
enter
or
exit
the
space
without
passing
through
another
space.
BO
In
other
words,
the
tandem's
parking
space
constitutes
0.75
of
a
parking
space,
meaning
that
we
have
1.75
parking
spaces
here
under
zoning
rather
than
the
required
two
in
this
District
of
40
foot
wide
lot
is
required
for
a
single
family
dwelling,
but
for
any
other
use
the
requirement
is
50
feet.
The
lot
here
is
38
feet.
Wide
variance
is
also
required
for
a
side
yard
setback,
violation,
the
required
side,
yard
setback
is
10
feet
per
the
dimensional
table.
BO
However,
per
application
of
section,
65,
42.7
side
yards
of
certain
narrow,
Lots,
the
required
side
yard
setback
is
actually
8.5
feet
for
the
right
side
of
the
lot.
It
remains
10
feet
to
the
left
side,
because
the
left
side
contains
a
driveway.
What
is
proposed
is
the
zoning
compliant
10
foot,
left,
side,
yard,
setback
into
right,
side,
yard,
setback
of
six
feet,
seven
and
a
half
inches,
which
is
one
foot
ten
and
ten
and
a
half
inches
shy
of
compliance.
BO
Finally,
there's
sighted
rear
yard
set
back
insufficiency
and
once
again
the
violation
is
minor.
A
single
family
requires
a
rear
yard
setback
of
20
feet
for
any
other
use,
including
this
those
two
family,
a
40-foot
setback,
is
required
for
the
dimensional
table.
However,
once
again
per
application
of
section
6542.11
rear
yards
of
certain
shallow
Lots,
the
required
rear
yard
setback
is
actually
28
feet.
The
proposed
rear
that
setback
is
23
feet,
2
inches,
which
is
4
feet,
10
inches
shy
of
compliance.
BO
This
lot
is
certainly
smaller
than
others
in
the
neighborhood,
but
at
nearly
3
000
square
feet
it
is
I
would
propose
clearly
a
developable
lot
and
an
appropriate
size
block
for
a
small
two
family
dwelling
unit.
One
would
be
a
one
bedroom
unit
of
approximately
650
square
feet
and
unit
2
with
two
bedroom
units
of
approximately
800
square
feet.
Finally,
I
would
suggest
that
If
This,
Were
A
conforming
single-family
use.
It
would
in
all
likelihood
be
at
least
three
bedrooms
with
the
same
density
result
as
is
being
proposed
for
this
two
family.

AQ
A
AQ
Yes,
ma'am,
so
in
brief
summary,
we
are
looking
to
expand
the
livable
square
footage
of
a
three
family
that
would
include
the
addition
of
a
dormer
on
the
left
side
of
the
building,
as
you're
viewing
the
property
to
add
additional
square
footage
to
the
attic
level
of
approximately
300
square
feet
to
allow
for
the
inclusion
of
two
additional
bedrooms
that
would
increase
the
current
existing
one
bed,
one
bath
to
a
three
bed,
two
bath
of
approximately
1200
square
feet.
AQ
There
is
a
reconfiguring
of
an
existing
livable
unit
on
the
second
floor
of
the
building,
the
reconfiguring
of
an
existing
unit
on
the
first
floor
of
the
building

the
proposal
to
expand
livable
square

into
the
basement
level
of
the
building,
which
would
be
contiguous
to
in
a
second
level
for
the
unit
on
the
first
floor,
if
approved,
that
would
bring

to
be
dug
out
a
little
bit
for
the
expansion
of

a
height
to
bring

the
only
external
changes
to
the

are

and
the
proposed
Dormer

A
AQ
A
AQ
I'm,
sorry,
is
that
a
question
it
might
be
relevant
for
you
as
well,
but
the
basement
level
has
proposed
One
internal
means
of
egress
to
full
doorways
to
the
rear
of
the
structure.
Full
emergency
egress,
the
bedroom,
to
the
front
right
with
the
kind
of
round
area.
That
window
is
approximately
32
inches
wide
by
40,
inches
tall
and
that's
accessible
to
ground
level.
AQ
There's
good
elevation
exposure
to
the
building
there
and
then
there's
a
proposed
edition
of
three
full
window
egresses
for
additional
bedrooms,
so
there's
otherwise
good
full
door
access
out
of
the
basement
living
area.
AQ
The
building
is
currently
gutted
the
current
owner
kind
of
took
over
from
a
prior
owner
who
ran
into
some
financial
problems,
so
we're
kind
of
working
with
that
existing
current
state
of
construction.
The
owner
intends
to
occupy
what
will
be
level
one
which
would
be
the
first
floor
and
basement

dwelling,
so
he
tends
to
occupy
it.

to
go
forward
with
it.
I've
been
here
for
since

and
I
would
like
to
see
them
go
forward
with
this

Thank.

AH
O
Mark
patello
25

I
am
direct
neighbor
to
the
proposed
project.
Regarding
at
a
Butters
meeting,
I
never
received
any
letter,
I
never
received
any
notice
Alvin
a
Butters
meeting
I
am
active
with
the
River
Street
civic
association.
I
never
saw
anything
from
them
either
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
the
proposed
work
on
this
Dormer
and
the
expansion
of
the
basement
has
already
been
completed.
The
Dormer
already
exists.
O
They
built
that
without
permits
and
I
would
just
like
to
see.
You
know
the
Dormer
actually
cuts
into
the
daylight
that
my
side
guard
gets,
which
I
did
submit
a
letter
that
I
think
you
you
guys
have
on
file.
I
submitted
it
yesterday
or
the
day
before,
just
kind
of
outlining
that,
but
yeah
there
was
no
I.
I
was
not
even
aware
of
Butters
meeting
I
did
get
the
notice
for
this
meeting,
but
I
never
got
in
a
Butters
competing
notice.
I,
don't
know
who
was
all
at
that,
but.
S
V
AQ
So
Madam
chair
can
speak.
You
know
briefly,
as
this
as
I've
been
advised
by
the
owner.
My
involvement
as
Council
has
been
brought
in
relatively
late.
AQ
The
basement,
if
not
approved,
would
be
used
for
storage
and
other
Mechanicals,
so
so
that
work
has
been
done
as
far
as
the
deepening
or
increasing
of
the
height,
but
not
the
conversion
to
livable
square
footage.
The
Dormer
as
I
understand
it.
The
proponents
submitted
an
update
to
the
original
plans
from
the
prior
owner
in
the
first
quarter
of
2022
and
after
I
think
three
or
so
months
of
Delay
from
ISD
of
not
having
received
response.
AQ
I
do
believe
it's
my
understand
that
they
proceeded
with
building
the
Dormer
at
risk
pending
the
approval
of
this
board.
So
so
that
is
I,
think
the
response
to
your
two
direct
questions
and
and
the
owner
can
add
in
as
they
have
additional
commentary.
A
A
Yes,
thank
you
Mr
stumbridge,
do
you
have
a
new
date
I
think
they
need
to
go
back
and
process.
AQ
Yes,
Madam
chair,
just
to
speak
briefly
to
this
as
well.
There
have
been
numerous
attempts
to
engage
I
believe
with
the
representative
Association,
so
this
is
on
everyone's
radar.
It
just
I
think
we're
on
their
agenda
for
February,
so
so
yes,
that
should
be
adequate
time.
Great.
E
Going
to
10
30
hearings,
the
next
case
is
boa
141-1304.
AJ
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
again,
members
of
the
board
Richard
Linz,
with
the
business
address
of
245
Sumner
Street
East
Boston
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
Madam
chair,
just
a
way
a
very
brief
background
for
this
project.
We
were
before
the
board
last
year
with
respect
to
this
address,
where
the
project
was
larger,
more
dense,
more
units
and
certainly
a
larger
footprint
of
the
building
with
the
epda
recommending
denial
Board
of
appeal
at
that
time
denied
this
case
without
prejudice.
AJ
In
addition,
since
the
last
time
this
project
was
before
the
board
the
plan,
East
Boston
recommendations
from
the
bpda
for
the
new
zoning
have
advanced
a
little
bit
further,
including
this
area
which
is
slated
to
be
will
be
designates.
Nr4
neighborhood
residential
without
the
four
stories
seems
to
be
the
direction
that
plant
East
Boston
is
looking
at
with
that
said,
and
even
though
Clint
East
Boston
does
allow,
or
at
least
would
suggest
to
allow
for
higher
Heights
in
this
area.
AJ
Our
project
that's
proposed
before
the
board
today
has
been
reduced
down
to
a
three-story
building
with
a
total
of
five
units.
I
would
point
out
that
the
location
of
this
site
is
located
directly
across
from
the
Suffolk
Downs
MBTA
station,
so
less
than
100
yards
of
the
entrance.
But
let
me
walk
through
briefly
once
the
screen
comes
up,
what
we're
looking
at
by
wave
program,
so
the
proposed
project
would
demolish
the
existing
two-unit
dwelling.
We
would
create
a
new
multi-family
dwelling
with
a
total
of
five
residential
units
with
respect
to
the
zoning.
AJ
This
does
meet
the
minimum
lot
size
of
5
000
square
feet.
It
meets
them
in
a
lot
with
50
50
feet
and
our
proposed
height
would
be
below
the
35
feet
that
is
permissible
in
the
district.
The
district
actually
allows
35
we're
at
30
feet
with
respect
to
the
relief
that
we
require
and
I
think
we
can
jump
forward.
If
you
just
want
to
maybe
scan
ahead
a
bit
to
the
rendering
which
would
be
slide.
Eight,
please.
AJ
You
can
always
come
back
with
any
specific
questions.
So,
with
respect
to
the
relief
that
is
necessary,
the
side
yard
condition
on
the
left
side
of
the
building
is
currently
non-conforming.
That's
sits
at
about
three
and
a
half
feet.
Presently
we
will
maintain
that
side
yard
with
the
new
building
which
does
allow
for
Windows
and
openings
on
that
side.
AJ
With
respect
to
the
right
side,
the
requirement
in
the
district
is
10
feet,
so
we
do
maintain
a
driveway
on
the
right
side
of
our
building
and
that
driveway
would
allow
for
the
required
10-foot
setback
on
the
right
side
of
the
building,
as
well
with
respect
to
our
rear
yard.
We're
slightly
below
30
feet
is
the
requirement
in
the
district.
We
are
slightly
below
just
just
a
little
over
29
feet
based
upon
how
we're
orienting
some
of
the
rear
decks.
AJ
So
the
building
itself
sits
outside
of
the
30
feet,
but
we
are
slightly
within
the
setback
in
the
rear.
With
respect
to
as
I
mentioned,
the
stories
are,
the
height
of
this
building
is
below
the
35
feet.
However,
there
is
a
requirement
in
the
2f
districts
that
two
and
a
half
stories
is
the
maximum
height,
so
we
would
be
proposing.
This
is
a
three-story
building.
AJ
However,
this
would
be
a
little
bit
more
squat
than
the
typical
three-story
buildings
that
are
in
the
neighborhood,
because
this
would
be
designed
to
be
adaptable
for
persons
with
disabilities
at
a
lower
level.
This
does
incorporate
a
very
small
basement
for
storage
and
utilities,
and
I
apologize.
I
know
that
the
board
is
not
seeing
the
the
presentation.
I
know
in
the
interest
of
time.
You
may
want
to
hear
the
presentation
itself,
so
I
can
pause
Madame
chair.
If
you
want
to
wait
for
the
screen
to
come
up
absolutely.
AJ
I'm
trying
to
stay
on
script
here,
but
I
noticed
the
the
spinning
wheel
of
death.
AG
Sorry,
luckily,
I
do
have
access
to
the
plant
so
but
the
public
doesn't
and
everything
looks
fine.
The
only
question
I
have
is
the
project.
Is
you
know,
next
to
the
Orient
Heights
I
believe
MBTA?
Is
that
correctly.
AG
And
I
I
just
kind
of
see
that
you
you've
used
up
a
lot
of
the
open
space
for
parking.
You
have
five
parking
space.
Would
the
applicant
be
open
to
reducing
the
parking.
AJ
AJ
Is
we
do
incorporate
two
three
bedroom
units
and
three
two
bedroom
units
they're,
all
very
generously
sized,
because
the
sentiment
is
this:
neighborhood
should
be
building
for
family
size
units.
So
one
of
the
questions-
or
at
least
one
of
the
concerns
were,
although
my
office,
it
was
located
in
this
neighborhood
for
many
years.
The
claim
that
the
on-street
parking
is
limited
with
some
some
sort
of
a
concern.
That's
why
we
maintain
the
one
space
per
unit,
but
I
don't
disagree
that
the
proximity
to
Suffolk
down
station
makes
this
a
very
good
Transit
oriented
site.
AJ
So
I'm
I
guess
I'm
happy
to
look
at
that
through
design
review.
If
that's,
what
the
board's
preference
is
great.
A
BC
Yes,
man,
we
can't
remember
so
the
board
Bob
we
make
a
BTD
which
are
the
proximity
of
the
all
of
the
New
England
Heights,
and
due
to
the
proximity
of
this
project,
do
topic
Mount
station
and
Orient
Heights
today,
so
there's
two
stations
in
close
proximity,
I'd
like
to
suggest
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
parking
space,
is
only
because
the
proximity,
two
Blue
Line
station
and
I
can
work
with
the
proponent
in
the
come
up
with
the
compromise
in
the
number
of
Blackness
spaces
because
of
the
transit
oriented
development.
BC
A
Thank
you
may
I
hear
a
republic
testimony
since
we're
still
having
technical
issues.
Sorry,
Mr
Woods,
no
problem.
BR
Thank
you.
Jessica
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
foreign
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
ons,
hosted
two
of
buddies
meetings
for
this
project.
One
August
24th
and
October
20
October
20th
of
2022..
This
project
began
the
community
process
once
again
with
three
stories.
Instead
of
four
five
units.
Instead
of
six
and
a
roof
deck
dear
butter
is
meeting
a
lot
of
oppositional
his
voice
regarding
the
roof
deck,
so
the
app
can
remove
the
roof
deck
from
The
Proposal
fear
Butters
mentioned.
BR
They
would
like
to
see
this
as
a
two-family
home
instead
and
a
position
from
two
of
the
rear
Butters.
They
also
expressed
that
the
project
was
out
of
character
with
the
rest
of
the
houses
and
was
too
dense
for
this
site.
Also,
they
mentioned
about
parking
as
well.
At
this
time,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank.
BR
So
they
they
think
that
well,
they've
expressed
that
there
is
not
enough
parking
in
the
area,
so,
like
Richard
Lynn
said
they
asked
for
more
parking.
They
actually
believe
that
the
one-on-one
was
not
enough
that
they
would
like
to
see
even
more
so.
A
Okay,
I
just
want
folks
to
hear
that,
because
I
just
added
it
up
that
you
know
what
what
Mr
Lynn
said:
that
is
a
total
of
12
bedrooms,
and
so,
while
I
doubt
there
would
be
12
cars.
If
we
are
talking
about
families
with
children,
one
vehicle
per
household,
it
does
not
sound
unusual
for
me
any
other
public
testimony.
J
J
A
carbine
that
just
goes
online
yep
he's
on
pause
at
Lawrence.
You
can
go
ahead.
AW
Sure,
thank
you,
Lawrence
Zola
18.
Swan
Avenue,
and
we
also
have
the
property
at
1205
Bennington
directly
aside,
so
the
ownership
of
the
property
changed
at
the
very
end
of
the
year.
AW
AW
AW
Now,
at
the
end
of
the
year,
property
was
bought
up
by
1209
Bennington
LLC
and
they
have
never
had
a
meeting
with
the
Akash.
AJ
AJ
A
Thank
you
any
other
public
testimony,
Jessica.
J
BS
Yeah
Gail
Miller
I
live
on
orientab
I
am
not
a
director
of
butter
I'm,
not
sure
that
Mr
Zola
had
finished
his
comments,
though
so
I'm
going
to
yield
to
him.
First,
if
that's
the
case,
but
I
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment.
Mr
Lynn's
cites
the
planes.
Boston
projected
hope
for
the
zoning
changes.
BS
That's
under
great
contention
here
at
Orient
Heights,
so
I
I,
don't
like
to
talk
about
acceptance
of
the
plan
is
Boston
when
it's
still
under
great
review
and
as
a
matter
of
fact,
we're
going
to
have
chief
of
planning
Mr
Jemison
for
the
community.
So
you
know
I
think
that
should
be
noted.
Thank
you.
AJ
AN
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
As
a
nice
lead-in
from
councilor
lens,
we
do
have
a
different
recommendation
on
this
case.
It's
approval
with
Proviso
for
design
review,
with
an
effort
to
increase
the
usable,
open
space
and
reduce
thank.
C
I'm
traveling
through
motion
to
improve,
with
the
product
of
that
for
design
review,
for
an
effort
to
reduce
paved
surface
and
increase
the
open
space.

earlier

we're
done
to
pre-check.

you
want
to
call
me?
No.
BT
BU
Here
at
15,
Eden
Street,
just
to
give
you
a
little
breakdown
of
our
projects,
we're
taking
an
existing
three-story
two-unit
building
the
current
height
is
36
feet
tall
and
we're
converting
it
into
a
three
unit.
Building
there'll
be
no
change
in
the
height
of
the
building.
BU
The
first
floor
and
part
of
the
basement
level
will
be
one
unit
and
it
will
be
about
2200
square
feet.
This
will
be
three
beds,
three
baths
and
then
the
second
and
third
floor
will
be
around
1500
square
feet,
apiece
each
of
those
being
three
beds
and
two
baths.
As
far
as
open
Green
Space
goes
we're
going
to
have
about
800
square
feet
in
the
rear
yard.
BU
That
will
just
be
for
the
first
unit
unit,
two
will
have
180
square
foot
deck
and
unit
3
will
also
have
180
square
foot
deck,
as
well
as
a
private
roof
deck
which
will
be
accessed
by
a
bubble.
Hatch,
we're
here
in
front
of
you
today,
because
we
are
looking
for
Relief
on
a
few
different
variances
one
is
a
neighborhood
design,
overlay
districts,
the
other
one
is
the
roof
structure,
restrictions
for
the
rooftop
deck,
the
other
one
is
additional
law
area
insufficient.
BU
A
BV
BV
AW
BF
BW
Hello,
how
about
audible?
My
name
is
James
Byron,
Morrison
I'm,
a
resident
at
11,
Eden
Street,
which
is
one
of
the
attack
four
attached
row,
houses,
9,
11,
13
and
15.
I'm.
Also
here
on
behalf
of
Robert
Morrison,
my
father
who's
been
the
homeowner
here
at
11
Eden
for
over
30
years.
I
am
glad
to
hear
it
sounds
like
you
received
our
letter
of
objection,
but
I
want
to
reiterate
what
it
says.
BW
We
object
to
the
existence
of
any
any
roof
decks
on
attached
row:
houses,
not
just
because
of
noise
and
privacy,
but
especially
because
of
trespass
having
the
roof
deck
would
allow
for
Access
not
just
to
the
roof
of
15
Eden,
but
to
the
roofs
of
13,
11
and
9
as
well.
BW
We
objected
to
the
the
roof
deck
two
years
ago
in
front
of
you
at
nine
Eden,
and
we
want
to
reiterate
our
opposition
to
any
roof
decks
on
on
attached
row
houses
because
they
would
allow
for
unauthorized
access
not
just
to
our
roof
but
to
the
other
roofs
in
the
set
of
of
row
houses
and
we're
hoping
you
can
take
a
fresh
look
and
not
repeat
an
unwarranted
approval
of
such
a
roof.
Deck.
A
Mr
Morrison
just
to
confirm
your
objection
is
solely
or
primarily
the
roof
deck,
not
not.
The
property
used
from
two
to
three
families.
W
I'm
sorry
sure
my
name
is
Juliet.
Steinkross
and
I
live
at
nine
Eden
Street
Unit,
Two
I'm,
a
neighbor
and
I
support.
This
request.
AN
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
We've
recommended
approval
with
design
review.
We
actually
have
a
concern
about
the
roof
deck
the
the
size
of
the
location,
so
we're
hoping
to
take
a
look
at
that.
AF
The
only
questions
I
would
have
is:
how
does
the
applicant
respond
to
the
concern
of
the
neighbor
in
terms
of
access
of
other
adjacent
work.
BU
I
would
just
respond
by
saying
that
we
will
have
42
inch
handrails
around
the
whole
deck,
which
would
make
it
difficult
for
anybody
to
climb
over
those
handrails
and
access
any
other
roofs
and.
C
Kind
of
traveling
commotion
to
approve,
with
the
Proviso,
with
design
review,
with
attention
of
the
size
and
placement
of
the
roof
deck.
AI
Y
Y
Y
E
BX
Yes,
good
afternoon,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Paul
Ruffo
I'm,
an
attorney
in
Boston
with
the
law
firm
of
Smith
Duggan
Cornell
and
golub
88
Broad
Street
sixth
floor
in
Boston.
I
represent
the
applicant,
which
is
Dr,
2lc
and
I.
Believe
with
me
on.
The
call
is
the
owner
of
Gina
deganji
and
briefly,
this
application
is
to
basically
confirm
occupancy.
That
seems
to
have
gotten
loss
of
us
over
the
years.
BX
This
building
goes
back
to
18
76
and
it's
it
was
built
as
a
four
unit
building
and
it's
presently
occupied
as
a
four
unit
building
along
the
way
in
1986.
There
was
a
record
in
the
NISD,
which
is
a
little
unclear
as
to
why,
but
the
occupancy
was
reduced
to
three
units
with
a
store
on
the
first
floor
and
two
residential
units
above
was
initially
constructed
as
a
store
on
the
first
floor
and
three
residential
units
above
and
then
as
I
say
in
1986.
BX
That
was
changed
and
then,
when
Ms
deganji
acquired
the
property
recently
and
researched,
the
records
noticed
that
the
occupancy
wasn't
matching
with
what
the
ISD
records
were
so
asked.
Us
to
look
into
it,
and
so
we
did.
You
have
plans
which
I'm
told
you
can
share.
We
just
have
a
floor
plan
showing
how
each
floor
is
used
and
the
elevations
showing
it
as
well
so
to
to
confirm
that
I
could
see
how
to
change
the
occupancy
from
three
three
units
to
four
units
actually
tripped
to
zoning
code
violation
instead.
BX
AA
BX
Tyson
Street,
as
you
see,
and
then,
if
you
flip
up,
you
can
see
the
thank
you.
You
can
see
the
floor.
Each
floor
is
planned.
They're
all
one
bedroom
units
except
the
storefront,
has
always
been
a
storefront
and
then
the
lower
level
is
just
for
mechanical
equipment
Etc
and
then
the
elevations
just
show
that
the
building
hasn't
been
changed,
Etc
and
that's
the
way.
It
looks
my
best
guess
not
to
not
to
drive
this
out,
but
is
that
probably
in
that
time
frame?
Maybe
this?
BX
The
third
and
fourth
floors
were
combined
into
one
unit,
it's
hard
to
say
the
ISD
records
don't
show.
But
anyway
it's
it's
presently
occupied
and
there's
no
work
anticipated.
It's
presently
occupied
as
as
three
separate
residential
units
and
the
storefront
units.
So
we
as
I
said,
started
to
say
when
we
filed
an
application
to
confirm
New
York,
you
can
see
that
tripped
to
zoning
code
violations.
One
is
open.
Space
50
feet
required,
50
square
feet,
I'm.
BX
Sorry,
it's
required
for
the
new
quote,
unquote
new
unit
and
one
parking
space
would
be
required
for
the
new
unit
per
code.
Of
course,
when
these
buildings
were
built,
there's
no
open
space
and
there's
no
parking
space.
So
we
we
did
have
a
Butters
meeting
on
July
26,
2022,
Sierra
Demico
from
ons
shared
that
for
us
I'm,
not
sure.
If
she's
on
the
call
there
was
no
opposition,
there
was
support.
BX
We
then
also
appeared
before
the
North
End
Waterfront
neighborhood
Council
in
in
October
October
17
2022,
when
they
were
kind
enough
to
unanimously
support
our
petition
to
confirm
the
occupancy.
And
then
we
also
appeared
before
the
North
End
Waterfront
residence
Association
in
on
November
22nd
2022,
their
zoning
licensing
and
construction
committee,
which
recommended
to
their
executive
committee.
BX
No
objection
to
the
appeal
so
believe
that
we
have
completed
the
community
process
and
would
would
ask
that
you
approve
our
application
to
confirm
the
occupancy
as
four
units,
one
storefront
with
three
residential
units
above.
Thank
you
very
much.
AL
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
removed
from
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
at
the
sound
of
mayor's
office,
would
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
this
board.
As
you
heard
from
the
applicant's
representation
and
the
Butter's
meeting
was
held
where
no
concerns
were
raised,
the
applicant
then
went
on
to
meet
with
nuro
where
they
received
a
letter
of
non-opposition.
With
this,
we
defer
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
You
Jeff,
do
you
have
a
recommendation.
AN
We
do
Madam
chair.
Thank
you.
The
the
recommendation
has
a
Proviso
for
design
review
and
no
building
code
for
these,
but
listening
to
Mr,
rufo
and
looking
at
the
plans
itself
looks
like
that's.
It
could
go
with
just
straight
approval,
no
sense
making
them
go
through
oops
or
something
that's
just
clarifying
the
record.
A
Thank
you
with
that.
May
I
have
a
motion.
Y

BY

Thank
you
so
we're
here
on
a
change
of
use
of
the
property
at
619
Tremont
Street,
which
is
located
on
the
garden
level
of
a
four-story
mixed-use
row
house,
building
located
in
the
South
End
Neighborhood
district
and
the
MFR
LS
sub
District.
The
premises
is
operated
for
a
long
time
as
a
retailer,
most
recently
being
utilized
as
a
local
retail,
business
selling,
flowers
and
other
gardening
materials.
BY
The
applicant
seeks
relief
from
section
64-8
to
permit
a
wine
shop
which,
despite
the
mixed
use
character
of
the
neighborhood
and
its
large
retail
presence,
does
require
relief
in
the
mfrls
sub-district.
Specifically,
this
is
going
to
be
a
neighborhood
oriented,
specialty
wine
shop
selling
a
select,
a
group
of
wines,
a
small
array
of
craft
beer.
It
proposed
hours
of
operation
are
12
P.M
to
8
00
PM,
seven
days
a
week
in
support
of
the
application.
BY
BY
The
request
of
relief
will
not
be
injurious.
The
neighborhood
the
hours
of
operation
are
neither
early
in
the
morning,
neither
late
or
night
and
it'll
function
to
very
similarly
to
other
retailers
in
the
neighborhood.
It's
going
to
serve
the
immediate
Community.
We
don't
anticipate
that
this
is
going
to
create
parking
or
traffic
issues.
As
most
customers
do
approach
retailers
in
this
area
on
foot,
we
could
provide
a
memo
and
support
me
on
Redwood
board.
The
applicant
conduct
it
in
conjunction
with
their
licensing
application.
BY
Before
the
Boston
licensing
board,
they
appeared
before
the
Ellis
neighborhood
association
had
a
productive
meeting
there.
That
group
provided
a
letter
of
non-op
position
which
should
be
on
file
with
the
board
in
conjunction
with
ons.
They
also
had
a
Butters
meeting
site.
There
were
no
objections
voiced
at
that
time.
BY
My
office
has
received
no
concern
for
opposition
to
date
on
this
request
and
to
have
the
transform
the
board
that
the
licensing
board
approved
late
last
week,
a
wine
and
more
beverage
license
for
this
location
and
the
altitude
which
is
subject
to
the
selling
relief
requested
by
the
court.
Today,
we
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
Thank
you.

Hi
good
morning
or
excuse
me
good
afternoon,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board
came
here
Shirley
from
the
rocks
of
Neighborhood
Services
our
office,
held
in
a
Butters
meeting
in
December
of
2022,
where
General
support
was
shown
by
Butters.
They
met
with
the
Alice
neighborhood
is
completely
received
a
letter
of
non-opposition
from
them
as
well.
At
this
time,
we
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
AZ
T
J
J
CA
The
record
please,
this
is
Elizabeth.
Willette
I
live
at
617,
Tremont
Street
directly
next
door,
and
we've
lived
here
for
20
years.
We're
raising
a
family
here.
We
know
the
neighborhood
very
well
I
wanted
to
highlight
the
fact
that
there
is
in
fact
a
large
liquor
store
at
607
Tremont
Street,
it's
10
houses
away,
I
think
we're
well
served
for
the
barrel
ready
I
understand
this
is
not
a
liquor
store.
CA
I
understand
it's
different
I'm
unclear
as
to
whether
providing
a
variance
for
liquor
sales
at
this
point
would
lead
to
eventual
potential
changes.
While
this
particular
vendor
is
interested
in
this
Boutique
wine
store.
Would
this
be
able
to
change
once
you
know
with
a
future
uses
and
I
do
also
think
that
the
later
hours
compared
to
there
are
only
two
other
shops
in
the
center
of
the
block
and
I?
Think
that
and
they
close
earlier
I
think
it
was
change
the
foot
traffic
and
the
pattern
on
a
block
which
is
mainly
residential.
CB
C
A
CC
President,
yes,
thank
you.
Cameron
Merrill
is
present
along
with
Daniel
Steger,
the
architect
on
this
project.
Thank
you,
members
of
the
board.
My
business
address
is
100
State
Street,
Boston,
Massachusetts
I
have
the
privilege
of
representing
the
applicant.
In
this
case
the
zoning
violations
are
for
lack
of
on-street
parking
and
lack
of
excuse
me,
lack
of
off
street
parking
and
lack
of
open
space.
The
nature
of
this
request
is
to
convert
a
one-bedroom
slash
office
into
a
one-bedroom
apartment.
CC
The
occupancy
registered
with
the
city
of
Boston
was
in
office,
so
this
is
returning
it
to
its
original
condition,
which
was
a
one-bedroom
apartment.
As
it's
known
in
the
condominium
documents,
this
project
has
received
substantial
support
from
the
neighborhood
I
think
you
have
approximately
17
letters
of
support
in
your
file
as
well
as
support
from
the
Condominium
Association.
While
there
are
safety,
Life,
Safety
improvements
being
made
to
the
unit
and
general
modernization,
this
is
already
legal
occupiable
space,
so
this
is
not
creating
any
new
space.
CC
We
believe
that
this
is
a
dramatic
Improvement
to
the
conditions
of
the
neighborhood
as
what
was
operated
as
a
full-time
six
staff
with
six
roaming
staff.
Business
is
now
going
to
be
residential
space.
So,
while
point
you
know,
eight
or
so
new
parking
spaces
is
required.
In
effect,
this
is
taking
14
parking
spaces
or
used
parking
spaces,
making
them
re-available
for
the
neighborhood
the
project.
CC
While
it
is
Garden
level,
there
is
slope
to
the
rear,
so
the
rear
of
this
unit
has
full
full
ceiling
height
full
windows.
So
it
is
not
a
typical,
you
know,
basement
or
a
garden
level
unit.
That
being
said,
with
the
open
space
violation,
this
is
directly
across
the
street
from
a
large
Park.
Obviously,
and
open
space
is
plentiful
in
this
neighborhood.
Therefore,
it's
our
position
that
this
is
a
project
which
is
worthy
of
an
appeal
in
your
consideration.
CC
AL
No
concerns
were
raised
at
the
time
the
Fenway
civic
association
reviewed
the
proposal
and
had
no
objections
they
did
mention.
They
prefer
the
original
fenestration
not
be
infilled
in
a
way
that
would
detract
from
the
Aesthetics
of
the
building.
We
received
one
letter
of
support
from
a
resident
of
the
building
and
we
did
have
one
Community
stakeholder,
Reach
Out,
expressing
some
concerns
that
can
be
flooding
in
that
area
at
some
points
in
some
basements.
So
with
that
we
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank
you.
A
A
Thank
you
was
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
A
BO
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
West
Broadway
in
Philadelphia
I
represent
Mark
little
Madam
chair
members.
I
will
be
brief.
This
is
exactly
as
it
appears.
It
is
an
application
for
a
12
foot
by
12
foot,
roof
deck
in
the
rear
of
it
exclusive
to
unit
2
at
760,
East
Broadway
in
South
Boston.
BO
My
client
went
through
a
fairly
extensive
Community
process,
made
a
number
of
changes
to
the
proposed
deck
arrived
at
a
point
where,
as
I
believe,
the
board
will
hear
in
testimony.
There
is
now
essentially
ordered
on
opposition
to
the
roof
deck.
During
that
Community
process,
a
the
the
neighborhood,
the
Butters
and
City
Point
neighborhood
association
all
requested
that
my
client
commit
to
support
and
adhere
to
Proviso,
which
should
it
would,
of
course,
be
within
the
discretion
of
the
board
to
propose.
BO
But
my
client
has
agreed
that
he
would
that
he
would
accept
and
conform
with
the
Proviso
that
the
approved
act
so
it'll
be
no
larger
than
12
feet
by
12.
Feet
may
not
be
enlarged
beyond
that
size
in
the
future
and
degree
that
that
Proviso
would
run
with
the
property
and
perpetuity
with
that
I'll
pause
and
take
any
questions
that
members
may
have.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
answer.
What
are
my
questions
because
you've
been
before
the
board
with
the
same
similar
proposal,
which
I
believe
either
was
opposed
or
deferred?
Are
there
other
questions
from
the
board.
A
May
I
have
all
the
testimony.
Please.
AL
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
I,
have
some
background
information
in
the
community
process
on
associate
two
about
his
meetings
on
July,
14th
and
November
1st.
AL
Originally
residents
were
critical.
The
proposed
deck
being
18
feet
after
multiple
meetings
with
the
CP,
the
city
Point
neighborhood
association.
There
came
up
that
there
would
be
a
Proviso
which
the
applicant's
representation
mentions
that
the
approved
deck
shall
be
no
larger
than
12
by
12
and
may
not
be
enlarged
beyond
that
size.
In
the
future,
this
Proviso
she'll
run
with
property
and
perpetuity
with
that
Proviso.
The
CPA
voted
to
support
this
project
with
those
restrictions
with
that
we
deferring
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
AZ
Office,
the
counselor
would
like
to
come
recording
of
position
to
the
roof
deck
due
to
a
significant
quality
of
life
issues
Neighbors
in
South
Boston
have
expressed
for
years
regarding
loud
parties
at
all
hours
and
trash
removal
associated
with
similar
proposals.
Labors
across
South
Boston
have
communicated
to
their
elected
officials
for
years
regarding
their
quality
of
life
being
disturbed
due
to
loud
parties
at
all
hours
of
the
night,
with
beer
cans
and
Pixar
boxes
of
the
lifestyle
and
blowing
off
of
the
decks
into
the
sidewalks
and
into
the
streets.
AZ
Unfortunately,
this
Behavior
was
exacerbated
during
the
pandemic
and
council.
President
Flynn
continues
to
hear
these
complaints
from
Southie
Neighbors
from
our
seniors
persons
with
disabilities,
young
families
with
the
school
and
children,
a
Civic
group
meetings
and
from
neighborhood
organizations
for
these
three
songs
and
more
Council
presidents
Flynn
continues
to
oppose
similar
proof-theft
proposals
in
the
residential
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
CE
Hi
so
good
afternoon,
Eileen
Smith,
776,
East
Broadway
and
about
our
two
760
East
Broadway
I
just
really
have
some
concerns
regarding
the
perpetuity,
Clause
and
I.
Don't
know
this
property
is
currently
in
the
process
of
being
sold.
This
deck
extension
exceeded
any
type
of
normal
guidelines
and
I'm
wondering
who
enforces
the
perpetuity
restriction
that
the
owner
is
agreeing
to,
and
if
this
were
to
transfer
inter
different
ownership,
will
the
new
person
have
the
ability
to
come
before
you
again
with
the
same
requests
for
an
extended
check?
Thank
you.
A
W
J
CB
Yes,
you
can
okay,
Luanne
O'connor,
president
City
Point,
neighborhood
association
attorney
moranti
is
correct
as
well
as
ons.
This
was
an
extensive
neighborhood
process.
They
did
present
before
City
point
after
several
about
his
meetings
to
get
the
plans
correct
and
stamped
by
ISD
before
cpna
could
review
them
or
would
review
them.
So
with
that
being
said,
we
did
compromise
on
the
deck
12
by
12,
with
the
Proviso
that
the
deck
would
not
be
extended
and
that
is
to
run
with
the
property
I'm,
yet
with
the
property,
not
the
owner.
CB
So
with
that
being
said,
cpna
voted
to
support
this
particular
roof
deck
project.
Thank
you.
A
BO
Madam,
chair
just
be
remiss
actually
some
comments
in
chat.
I
didn't
know
if
did
intend
to
omit
the.
AA
AG
So
basically,
the
drawings
does
show
a
12
by
12.
So
that
is
what
the
permit
is
for
and
that's
what
the
zoning
variance
is
is
improving.
But
if
you
like
for
me
to
be
clear
to
provide
a
Proviso,
I
can
only
suggest
that
the
bpda
provides
a
Proviso
to
examine
the
size
of
the
deck,
but
in
regards
to
what
future
owners
can
do
to
the
property.
That's
an
internal
legal
matter
with
the
property
and.
BM
H
H
This
is
a
Department
application,
so
you
know
isd's
only
going
to
issue
apartment
the
bill
and
followed
by
12
proof
deck.
Anything
in
violation
of
that
will
result
in
some
kind
of
building
code
violated
from
issue
from
ISD
on
that
on
those
grounds,
if
someone
wanted
to
change
change
the
dimensions
of
the
roof
deck
they
would
have
to
you
know:
fiber
a
new
permit
come
back
to
the
board
to
alter
that
in
some
way.
So
you
know.

you

hearing
us

I
come
before
you
on
behalf
of
the
owners
of
a
pharmacy,
a
Health

Loretta

operate

like

Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Keisha
Santana
from
the
mayor's
office,
so
many
services
in
a
Butters
meeting
was
held
where
there
weren't
really
concerns
raised
just
clarifying
questions
and
they
met
with
the
local
Civics.
There
has
been
expressive
need
for
a
pharmacy
in
the
area,
and
at
this
point
we
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank.
CF
A
A
Thank
you
and
and
to
Echo
Keisha,
definitely
in
need
of
pharmacies
in
the
city.
So
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.

The
units
will
consist
of
three
beds
two
baths
and
are
approximately
1500
square
feet:
family
style
units
and
that's
the
presentation.
We
meet
the
zoning
code
with
regard
to
every
other
aspect
of
Adventure.
A
All
right
with
that
may
have
public
testimony.
S
Good
evening
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
office
and
the
counselor
would
like
the
applicant
to
defer
for
more
Community
engagement
regarding
this
proposal.
BZ
S
So,
just
based
on
the
part
that
we
we
didn't
hear
from
the
Civics
we
tried
reaching
out
to
them
in
regards
to
whether
or
not
they
supported
the
proposal.
We
never.
We
didn't
hear
back
from
a
Pacific
I
believe
it
was.
CG
First,
thank
you.
Oh
all,
right,
good
evening,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
apologies
for
the
technical
difficulties
earlier
I
was
experiencing
issues
with
the
zoom,
but
I
should
be
good.
Now,
Eric
James
of
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
applicant
for
18
Fabian,
had
an
abutters
meeting
on
September
22nd
2022..
They
met
with
the
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
Council.
There
is
a
bit
of
confusion
on
that.
The
applicants
think
that
they
did
meet
on
in
November
of
2022.
CG
However,
the
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
Council
has
scheduled
them
for
a
project
proposal
on
February
16th,
so
that
is
a
bit
hazy
as
of
now,
but
they
are
scheduled
to
beat
with
a
great
amount
of
in
neighboring
counts,
before
February
16th
to
I,
guess
present
and
actually
have
official
feedback.
So
we
do
not
have
official
feedback
from
that
neighborhood
Council.
As
of
now
in
total,
we
have
received
zero
letters
of
support
and
zero
letters
of
opposition
for
this
property.
CG
So
at
this
time
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
judge
of
the
board
on
this
matter.
Thank
you
to
Mr
small
Madam.
Z
Chair,
yes,
so,
as
Eric
stated,
we
did
have
a
about
us
meeting
and
we
did
we
meet
with
the
Great
America
neighbor
Council
on
November
17th.
Z
CH
J
A
The
day
of
technical
difficulties,
with
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
A
AQ
A
AQ
So
speaking,
briefly
about
the
project,
this
is
still
currently
city
of
Boston
controlled.
The
parcels
of
land
three
in
total
first
parcel
is
about
4
800
square
feet.
A
second
is
about
4
200
square
feet.
The
third
is
about
6
400
square
feet.
The
city
put
out
an
RFP
for
the
creation
of
six
to
eight
affordable
housing
units,
of
which
Habitat
for
Humanity
was
a
respondent.
AQ
I
think
that
there
was
a
couple
other
options,
but
in
the
end,
habitat
was
elected
as
the
winner
of
the
RFP,
even
though
this
otherwise
isn't
a
project
that
would
otherwise
you
know
kind
of
trigger
BPD
involvement.
AG
AQ
Sorry,
yes
problem,
so
we
were
not
a
scope
of
project
that
was
otherwise
trigger.
You
know
small
design,
review
or
the
like
BPD
involvement,
but
in
light
of
the
fact
that
this
is
a
city,
RFP
Habitat
for
Humanity
has
been
for
a
period
of
time
being
engaged
with
the
bpda
for
design
review.
So
the
end
project
now
is
the
byproduct
of
a
lot
of
Prior
involvement
of
the
bpda
and
the
bpda
has
effectively
put
their
stamp
of
approval
on
this
project.
AQ
So
it
would
be
the
assemblage
of
three
current
vacant
Parcels
of
land,
of
approximately
fifteen
thousand
four
hundred
square
feet,
and
the
proposal
is
to
create
seven:
a
hundred
percent,
affordable
housing
units.
We've
provided
a
a
slide
deck
for
today
to
Stephanie
Haynes.
If
that
helps
you,
but
there's
proposed
to
be
one
off
street
parking
space
accessible
via
Thetford,
so
the
project
fronts
on
both
Norfolk
and
Thetford
streets,
seven
units,
seven
parking
spaces,
one
per
unit,
Our
rough
blend
of
units.
AQ
We
have
one
two
bed,
one
and
a
half
bath
of
about
974
square
feet.
There
are
three
of
them.
We
have
a
three
bed:
two
and
a
half
bath
of
approximately
thirteen
hundred
square
feet,
a
four
bed
two
and
a
half
bath
of
approximately
1400,
a
two
bed,
one
bath
of
about
1150
and
then
a
three
bed,
two
bath
a
480
square
feet,
one
of
those
seven
units
being
Ada,
handicap
accessible.
AQ
The
current
proponent
does
not
own
the
parcel.
This
again
is
a
bit
to
approval
and
relief
from
the
city
so
that
they
can
then
proceed
with.
You
know
closing
on
the
parcel
and
initiating
Construction
there
are
one
and
a
quarter
spaces
required
for
parking.
We
have
seven
in
aggregate
the
proposal
we're
in
a
2f,
5000
sub-district.
So
arguably
on
three
Parcels.
If
we
were
otherwise
complying
with
other
building
requirements,
we
could
build
three.
AQ
Two
family
buildings,
The
Proposal,
is
to
build
seven
kind
of
a
townhouse
orientation,
so
the
Houston
MFR
is
a
forbidden
use.
The
orientation
in
townhouses
forbidden
the
bpda,
requested
the
kind
of
bump
out
windows
that
you
see,
which
then
triggered
our
front
yard
setback
slightly,
and
then
we
have
two
of
our
units
being
accessible
off
of
Thetford,
so
that
has
triggered
a
location
of
main
entrance
use.
Although
fronts
on
Thetford
doesn't
front
on
Norfolk
Street.
AQ
As
I
understand
it
from
habitat
and
I
Am
pro
bono
for
them
for
this
matter,
first
I
believe
all
of
habitats
developments
are
for
home
ownership
opportunities.
I
believe
that's
the
design
here,
I
believe
that
is
their
continuous
and
pre-existing
model.
Thank.
AQ
B
AQ
Jerry
again,
if
you
can
comment
that'd,
be
great.
I
would
note
that
habitat's
model
allows
them
to
build
more
reasonably
priced
than
normal
developers,
because
their
model
is
inherently
requiring
volunteering
from
the
end
owners.
I,
don't
know
the
end
costs
here,
but
you
know
they
otherwise
are
bringing
units
to
Market
that
other
developers
can't
normally
touch
because
of
not
using
really
tax
credits
and
the
like.
But
using
a
lot
of
volunteer
Manpower.
D
D
The
estimated
costs
are
based
on
the
income
of
the
people
that
were
chosen,
so
what
we
do
is
we
base
the
mortgage
on
never
having
anything
greater
than
30
percent
of
gross
income
that
applies
to
all
of
their
housing
costs.
That
would
be
mortgage
condominium
fees,
taxes
and
insurance.
So
it's
generally,
it's
always
thirty
percent
or
less.
Generally
speaking,
it
comes
out
around
28.
CG
Go
ahead
good
evening,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Eric
James
of
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
again
the
app
before
no
in
a
bothers
me.
A
CF
A
Let's
move
on
and
maybe
we'll
Circle
back
to
you
and
you
may
need
to
turn
off
your
video,
so
I've
seen
mayor's
office
of
housing
is
on.
If
you
could
speak.
CK
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Christopher
Rooney
development
officer
at
the
mayor's
office
of
housing.
This
project
will
utilize
three
posses
of
city-owned
land
for
the
production
of
seven
units
of
affordable
home
ownership,
and
moh
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
strong
support
of
the
project.
Thank
you.
J
S
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
again
and
Miami
Council
of
War
and
the
applicant
receives
support
from
the
common
square,
neighborhood
Council,
as
well
as
the
Talbot
North
triangle,
civic
association,
and
hearing
no
opposition
towards
the
proposal.
The
council
would
like
to
farm
record
in
full
support
of
174
North
Columbus
Street,
okay,.
J
F
Hello
hi!
Yes,
please
you
guys
can
hear
me,
but
yes,
my
name
is
Cindy.
Georges
I
will
go
ahead
from
the
office
on
Council
Museum,
who
wants
to
go
on
work
and
support
the
proposal
as
well.
A
If
he's
available,
yeah.
AA
J
CG
Thank
you
all
right,
I
definitely
turned
off
the
video,
so
they
held
the
about
this
meeting
on
November
29th.
The
Codman
Square
neighborhood
council
is
in
support
of
this
project.
We
have
one
letter
of
support
from
that
Council
zero
letters
of
opposition.
So
at
this
time
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
on
this
matter.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Any.
BA
A
All
right,
thank
you
was
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
B
H
Yes,
that
suggest
from
the
board
the
Proviso,
just
because
of
the
affordable
project.
It's
not
subject
to
the
bpdas
like
large
and
small
project
review.
I
would
just
if.
CL
H
Include
a
Proviso
that
the
affordable
units
I
know
it's
100
a
part
of
what,
but
if
we
can
include
a
Proviso
that
the
units
are
identified
on
the
certificate
of
use
and
occupancy
as
affordable
units
with
ISD
just
so
that
we
have
a
way
of
tracking
it
for
future
reference.
B
I'm
making
okay,
let's
see
if
I,
remember,
and
make
a
motion
to
upload
this
project
with
the
provincial
that
the
affordable
units
will
be
added
to
a.
AO
Y
A
C
H
Yes,
Madam
chair
rise
up
for
bpda
design
review,
and
then
we
have
the
Proviso.
The
units
that
are
will
be
identified
on
the
certificate
of
use
and
occupancy
for
the
structure,
so
I
believe
it
is
100
affordable,
but
just
be
probably
on
each
certificate
for
each
unit,
saying
that
it's
an
affordable
unit
just
so
that
we
can
track
it
up
going
forward.
H
E
CM
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam,
chair
and
board
of
appealed
members
I'm,
not
sure
if
I'm
visible.
J
CM
Thank
you
Jessica
good
afternoon,
Madam,
chair
and
board
of
appeal
members,
I
Miss,
Charlie
Kevin
I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
15
Broad
Street
in
Boston
I
represent
James
O'sullivan
and
Mary
Teresa
O'sullivan
of
55
Manor
Street
Dorchester.
The
owners
of
50.
Excuse
me,
60
forestry.
Also
on
this
hearing
representing
the
applicant,
is
the
project
architect
Greg
Spalding
of
Spalding
to
Gaius
Architects
The
Proposal
before
you
is
for
a
six
unit,
residence
with
12
off
street
parking
spaces
on
a
10
751
Square,
Foot
Locker.
CM
CM
CM
In
regarding
the
use
regulations,
a
multi-family
residential
MFR
is
a
forbidden
use
in
in
a
one
family.
Seven
thousand
District,
however,
Fuller
Street
in
general,
is
a
mix
of
many
of
the
dwellings,
the
including
a
six
family
on
one
side
of
64,
three
family
on
the
other
side
of
64
and
a
six
family
directly
across
the
street
from
64..
CM
The
far
in
the
sub
district
is
0.04
is
rather
0.4
and
the
far
proposed
is
0.72.
The
building
height,
the
maximum
height,
is
35
feet.
We
are
requesting
approval
for
37.
the
side
yard.
The
minimum
side
job
requirement
was
12
feet.
What
is
proposed
is
30
feet
on
the
left
side
of
the
building
and
six
feet
set
back
to
the
right,
which
would
require
a
variance,
the
rear
yard.
We
are
seeking
a
variance
for
the
rear
yard
setback.
The
required
setback
is
50
feet,
which
is
significantly
larger
than
most
other
zoning
sub
districts.
CM
In
an
effort
to
meet
that
requirement
for
proposed,
the
proposed
setback
is
46
feet.
Four
feet
short
of
the
requirement
on
the
final
violation,
which
is
the
location
of
the
main
entrance.
The
there
is
you'll
see
that
the
there
is
an
entrance
on
the
front
of
the
building,
which
is
intended
to
keep
it
in
context
with
the
surrounding
residences,
but
the
main
entrance
is
so
that
would
be
the
entrance
to
one
unit,
but
the
main
entrance
to
the
other
units
is
on
the
side,
which
is
closer
to
the
parking
area.
CM
As
I
said
a
moment
ago,
the
this
part
of
Fuller
Street,
consists
of
mainly
or
mostly
multi-family
dwellings
and,
at
this
location
is
very
close
to
the
Ashmont
MBTA
station
and
at
so
the
lot
size,
10
700
in
one
square
feet.
It
is
one
of
the
largest
Lots
on
Fuller
Street.
There
is
an
existing
curb
cut,
so
knowing
that
additional
parking
would
be
lost
by
a
curb
cut
to
access
to
the
12
off
street
parking
spaces,
two
spaces
per
unit
are
proposed.
CM
The
parking
will
be
located
along
the
side
of
the
property
into
the
rear
of
the
residence
will
be
screened
by
a
fence.
The
existing
structure,
which
is
in
poor
condition,
is
not
considered
historically
significant
according
to
the
landmarks
commission
and
is
not
up
to
current
codes
and
standards
based
upon
the
dimensions
of
this
lot
and
the
surrounding
structures
on
forestry.
We
believe
that
the
proposed
project
is
in
context
with
the
Abundant
properties
on
Fuller
Street.
As
noted
previously,
57
Fuller
street
is
a
six
unit.
Building
54-56.
A
We
will
hear
we
will
hear
from
the
ons
et
cetera
on
that.
Thank
you
all
right
and
I.
CM
I
I
would
just
like
to
say
also
the
the
building
consists
of
three
three
bedroom
units:
two
two
bedroom
units
with
a
either
an
office
or
potentially
a
nursery
and
one
two
bedroom
unit.
So
these
are
all
family
sized
humans.
The
average
aggregate
living
space
proposed
7
704
square
feet
on
this
quarter
acre
lot.
CM
It
offers
a
transition
from
the
size
of
54
to
56
for
the
street,
where
the
far
is
0.82
and
62
followed
with
the
far
is
0.66
the
building
plan
which
the
architect
breaks,
fall
and
discuss,
has
two
units
per
floor
and
on
a
total
of
three
floors.
Looking
at
the
surrounding
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
we
feel
this
is
an
appropriate
project.
CM
Right
I
think
in
closing
the
we
held
an
additional
Brothers
meeting
in
January
after
the
GBA
notices
had
been
sent
out.
That
was
not
a
required
providers
meeting,
but
it
took
place
because
we
had
tried
once
again
to
reach
out
to
the
Ashmont
Valley
neighborhood
association,
to
represent
the
project,
the
board
of
appeal
and
the
neighborhood
residents.
You'd
only
look
at
24th
Street,
which
is
just
a
few
doors
down
to
see
the
quality
of
construction
to
expect.
CM
AG
CM
I
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
think
that
the
the
parking
spaces
actually
would
incentivize
the
residents
to
utilize
the
off
street
parking
rather
than
on
Street,
but
I
think
that
the
the
applicant
is
open
to
increasing
open
space.
CM
I
think
that
the
like
the
proposal
of
12
parking
spaces
was
really
in
deference
to
to
the
neighborhood
and
to
keep
any
possible
cars
off
the
street.
Okay.
AG
AF
BC
You
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board
Bob
the
vehicle
BTD
like
I,
said
earlier
on
that
Pennington
Street
Frost
project,
the
proximity
of
the
building
to
the
ashbon
station
I,
don't
think
would
require
two
spaces
per
unit.
Transit
oriented
development,
I
think
will
apply
here
and
I'll
go
out
on
a
limb
and
request
that
the
space
is
being
reduced
to
fix,
with
an
increased
amount
of
open
space.
AI
A
AH
C
Yeah
I
just
like
to
Echo
my
concerns
with
the
parking.
The
site
just
reads
is
very
overparked
to
me:
I
think
we
also
need
to
consider
things
like
the
heat
island
effect
in
the
neighborhoods.
This
is
less
than
half
a
mile
from
the
Ashmont
t
station,
so
I
think
I
would
have
lied.
My
comments
to
support
less
parking
and
less
Paving
in
this
area.
AG
I
also
whoops
I'm,
sorry
to
interrupt,
and
after
you
hear
from
Mr
Spalding
I
would
also
like
to
hear
from
Jeff
Hampton
from
the
BPA
in
terms
of
the
recommendation
and
also
in
regards
to
position
about
head
house
in
this
neighborhood.
CN
I
believe
I
heard
comment
of
six
parking
spaces.
A
CN
A
Okay,
any
other
questions
before
we
open
it
up
all
right
with
that
can
I
take
public
testimony.
CJ
Good
afternoon
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Ross
Cochran,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
The
applicant
has
completed
their
Community
process,
our
office
held
in
a
Butters
meeting
in
February
of
2021,
and
they
have
undergone
further
community
outreach
for
the
project
with
the
butters.
The
local
civic
association
first
met
over
the
project
in
June
of
2021
in
a
pro
opposed
the
project
at
that
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
Judgment
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
CJ
S
Good
morning,
good
afternoon,
I'm
chair
members
of
the
board
in
regards
to
50
polish
Street.
Our
office
received
the
31
letters
of
opposition,
as
well
as
the
38
letters
of
support
for
64th
Street
and,
despite
the
applicant's
best
efforts
to
meet
with
the
Ashmont
Valley
civic
association,
that
role
was
never
accomplished.
So
as
it
stands
right
now,
the
council
would
like
the
applicant
to
defer
for
more
Community
engagement

butters.

Oh
yes,
I
understand
the
zoning
allows
one
and
a
half
spaces
per
unit.
However,
when
it
comes
to
Transit
oriented
development,
it's
something
in
Judgment
of
ETA
to
change
that
and
and
give
us
a
different
opinion
based
on
that
I
I,
stick
to
my
recommendation
to
six
parking
spaces,
but
then
increase
the
open
space.
Thank.

There
is
no
roof
deck
proposed.

One
of
the
requests
from
the
Ashmont
Valley
neighborhood
association
and
the
letters
at
the
first
Apartments
meeting
in
the
neighborhood
association
meeting
was
to
provide
a
you
know
possible
addition
for
future
solar
panels,
so
the
architect
has
agreed
and
owners
agree
to
re-engineer
the
roof
so
that
it
could
accommodate
solar
panels,
but
there
is
no
plan
for
a
roof
deck.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
N
Chair,
yes,
Madam
chair,
this
is
Joe

city,
council,
Frank
Baker's
office.
Although
this
project
isn't
in
our
district,
we
do
border
this
in
several
of
our
people
in
our
district,
have
have
echoed
support
for
this
project.
Just
want
to
go
on
record.
A
Thank
you
and
reading
bpd's
recommendation
into
the
record.
Epa
recommends
approval
with
Proviso
that
plan
to
be
submitted
to
BPD
for
design
review,
paying
particular
attention
to
reducing
impervious
era,
increasing
the
side
of
your
yard,
potentially
through
reduction
of
parking
spaces.
So
certainly
in
line
with
the
conversation
we've
had
so
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.

Thank
you.
I
can't
I
can't
wait
to
see
the
new

go
up

big
full

Look
a

better

what
it
looks
now.
It'll
just
bring
out
the

I
like

that

be
reduced

six

to
allow
for
more

open

then
the
second
Proviso
is
to
remove

replace

Hear
me:
yes,
all
right,
so
good
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Eric
James
of
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
applicant
for
1587
Blue
Hill,
had
enough
Butters
meeting
on
December
1st
2023.
They
met
with
the
Mattapan
Square
main
streets
which
voted
to
support
them,
so
in
total
we
have
received
zero
one
letter
of
support
and
zero
letters
of
opposition
for
this
property.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the

on
this
matter.
Thank
you.

BN
As
is
mentioned,
this
is
a
proposal
to
erect
a
one-story
Edition
with
a
walkout
deck
and
to
also
include
renovations
to
unit
number
two
just
to
pause
on
this
slide
on
that
Ambassador,
you
can
see
where
the
red
highlighted
dot
is,
that
is
the
existing
structure
and
in
relation
to
some
of
the
other
buildings
around
it.
My
client
is
trying
to
remain
in
the
north
end
with
his
growing
family
and
to
have
an
addition
which
will
infill
the
back
and
to
go
up
a
level
just
to
point
out.
BN
This
particular
District
allows
for
a
55
foot
height,
so
what
we
are
proposing
is
actually
46
sleep,
six
inches,
so
we're
well
below
that
and
we're
actually
going
to
be
lower
than
the
buildings
to
the
left
of
us.
This
particular
Edition
and
space
would
give
some
rock
out
deck
space
to
the
family.
We
would
also
add
a
half
bath,
it
would
allow
the
home
office
and
just
enlarging
space
in
the
kitchens
and
bedroom
areas
just
to
go
over
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide.
BN
BN
And
you
can
just
see
in
relation
along
Hull
Street,
as
well
as
Snow
Hill,
some
of
the
variations
and
sizes
of
the
buildings,
but
many
of
them,
as
you
can
see,
have
head
houses
and
walk
out
roof
decks
as
part
of
their
proposal
and
our
go
up
as
high
as
four
and
a
half
to
six
stories
in
that
general
area.
The
first
floor
of
this
building
is
another
unit,
so
that's
a
separate
condo,
that's
connected
with
the
basement
unit,
so
that
would
remain
the
same
unit.
BN
Two
is
the
existing
condo
that
we're
looking
at
the
addition,
and
that
would
now
have
three
levels
on
level,
one
that
would
have
living
dining
kitchen
and
a
half
bath
unit
level.
Three
would
have
two
bedrooms:
one
bath
an
office
and
laundry,
that's
the
area
of
the
infilling
and
then
finally,
the
new
level
four
would
be
a
one
bedroom
one
and
a
half
bath
with
a
walk-out
deck.
So
this
would
not
include
a
roof
deck,
just
simply
a
lockout
deck
on
that
area.
BN
As
we
went
through
this
proposal
with
the
community,
we
actually
made
a
number
of
changes.
First
of
all,
we
reduced
the
fourth
story:
Edition
from
881
square
feet
down
to
350
square
feet.
We
eliminated
the
roof
deck
on
the
building,
which
so
many
of
the
other
neighbors
do
have.
We
proposed
deck
space
was
reduced
from
800
square
feet,
the
walkout
deck
down
to
350.,
we
lowered
our
roof
line
and
we
reduced
our
height
from
51
feet,
10
inches
to
46
feet,
6
inches.
BN
We
also
added
a
four
foot,
rare
pullback
in
working
with
our
neighbors
and
trying
to
appease
folks
along
Hull
Street,
to
cut
that
away
and
when
I
turn
this
over
to
the
architect,
we
will
show
some
pictures
of
that
as
well.
We
also
have
minimum
variances
that
they
were
asking
for.
We
only
create
one
new
violation
and
that
is
with
structure
restriction.
As
I
said,
this
area
does
allow
for
50
up
to
55
feet.
BN
Our
far
will
go
up
slightly,
but
it's
a
pre-existing
violation
and
we
were
cited
for
a
pre-existing
vibration
for
minimum
rear
yard,
but
we're
not
changing
that
the
building
Contours
in
the
back
will
remain
exactly
the
same.
If
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
and
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
Eric
zackerson
who's,
the
architect
to
go
over
the
top
floor.
Eric
song.
AD
Thank
you,
Jeff
Eric,
zackerson,
nine
Zach,
Bell
Street
in
Charlestown,
I'm,
the
architect,
with
a
project
with
context.
Can
you
can
we
slide
roll
to
the
next
slide?
Please?
This
basically
shows
the
unit
2,
which
is
the
unit
we're
talking
about
level.
Two
is
within
the
existing
envelope
level
three
and
contains
the
living
and
dining
space
and
kitchen
level.
AD
Three,
which
is
the
drawing
in
the
middle
of
this,
shows
the
bedroom
level
with
a
bedroom
on
the
left
and
a
bedroom
on
the
right
and
the
kind
of
family
style
bathroom
in
the
back
again.
This
is
kind
of
a
small
floor
print
footprint,
so
we're
not
seeing
we're
not
seeing
multiple
bathrooms
multiple
bedrooms
just
that
these
two
and
then
on
the
top
floor,
the
the
current
proposal.
The
proposals
before
you
today
is
to
to
add
this
kind
of
flex
office
guest
bed
base
at
the
top
level
with
a
powder
room.
AD
The
intention,
you
know,
as
Jeff
said,
is
to
accommodate
the
growing
family,
but
at
this
top
level,
we're
not
showing
a
full
bathroom
just
in
a
powder
room,
Flex
space
and
then
the
walk-off
space
to
the
right.
The
important
thing
to
note
here
is
that
we
have
kind
of
working
with
the
neighbors
and
we've
arranged.
We've
pushed
this,
which
was
at
one
point
a
whole
like
a
full
new
level.
We
reduced
it
to
be
any
lower
left
here,
which
is
kind
of
the
south
east
corner
of
the
subject.
AD
You
can
see
how
it's
set
back
four
feet
from
the
rear,
as
if
the
what
will
be
the
the
roof
of
level
three
and
and
in
doing
that,
we
are
kind
of
messing
up
against
our
our
neighbor
to
the
left,
which
is
a
taller
building
and
then
having
the
roof
back.
The
walk
out
back
on
level
four
into
the
right
side
of
this,
so
that
it
kind
of
minimizes
Shadows
into
the
into
the
neighbors
and
into
the
real
yard.
AD
Next
slide,
please,
on
a
this,
is
a
front
elevation,
but
I
think
the
next
flight
actually
has
a
better
comparison.
So
you
see
on
the
bottom
here
that
is
the
existing
condition,
with
our
building
being
the
one
squarely
in
the
middle.
It's
currently
three
stories
with
it
called
peaked
roof.
AD
Above
that
you
see
the
proposed
condition
where
we
would.
We
would
have
a
similar
expression
on
the
upper
floors,
but
we've
nestled
the
be
a
disc
in
the
fourth
story:
Edition
up
against
our
taller
neighbor
to
the
left
and
create
kind
of
a
stepping
situation
where
we're
not
as
tall
as
our
neighbor
to
the
left
we're
a
little
taller
than
our
neighbor
to
the
right.
AD
The
roof,
the
walkout
deck
is
on
the
right
side
of
it
and
that
guest
space
is
on
on
the
left,
with
the
the
third
floor
and
the
second
floor
being
that
within
the
existing
footprint
of
the
building.
AD
That's
all
I
have
at
the
moment.
Thank.

some

information
on

our

hosting

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
Senator
Edwards
office.
The
senator
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
in
opposition
of
this
project.
Thank
you.
Thank.
CH
Thank
you.
My
family
supports
the
proposed
changes.
I
live
two
houses
to
the
left,
my
properties
featured
prominently
and
the
designs
that
we
just
reviewed
I'm
an
owner
occupant
and
you
just
saw
a
great
view
of
my
wonderful
rooftop
deck.
We
appreciate
my
family
appreciates
the
concerns
raised
my
fellow
Butters,
but
we
commit
The
Meadows
Family
for
having
Incorporated
so
much
of
the
community's
feedback
into
their
plans,
and
I
would
note
that,
in
my
opinion,
preserving
the
architectural
style
of
the
neighborhood.
CH
What
I'd
like
to
point
out
is
that
some
of
the
costs
of
having
neighbors
can
be
immediate
and
cute
Sun
open
space
Etc,
but
the
benefits
are
more
abstract,
But,
ultimately
more
valuable.
The
truth
is
that
most
families
today
need
more
space
than
can
be
provided
by
the
floor
plans
of
the
past
and
as
neighbors.
CH
If
we
can't
find
a
way
to
enable
families
like
The
Meadows
to
stay
in
the
North
End
as
I
as
they
grow,
oh,
our
neighborhood
will
slowly
but
surely
lose
the
families
that
make
it
a
Vibrant,
Community
I
think
this
trade-off
is
overlooked.
I
think
our
priorities
are
misplaced
as
I.
Listen
to
the
stories
of
my
neighbors,
they
tell
me
about
how
many
children
we
used
to
be
in
the
North,
End
I
think
we
need
to
acknowledge
this
because
without
families,
the
North
End
is
a
different
neighborhood.
CH
So
my
family
in
summary
supports
this
proposal,
because
it's
a
reasonable,
moderate
considerate
reserves,
the
architectural
style
of
the
neighborhood
and,
most
importantly,
because
we
want
families
like
The
Meadows,
to
continue
to
call
the
North
End
home
to
allow
our
child
to
grow
up
with
other
children
in
this
very
special
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
Thank.

On

my

is
on
this

for
many
many
years
and
now
they've
all
passed
and
I've
lived
alone
for
quite
a
while
in
this
building
with
a
shot
rental,
yeah
I
feel
very
safe,
with
The
Meadows
moving
in
I'm
in
full
support
of
families
in
the
not
Bend,
especially
the
ones
that
want
to
get
involved
in
the
community,
like
The
Meadows,
who
are
involved
with
our
dog
pack
that
I
run
and
who
involved
with
the
toddler
pot
with
their
child

X
As
a
woman
who
lives
alone,
an
upper
age,
I
can't
imagine
anybody
else,
but
a
family
moving
in
this
property
and
I
I
welcome
The,

I
hope.
There's
some
flexibility
with
the

Thank
you.
BA

sorry,

like
to
go
on

bill.

It's
going
to
diminish,
sunlight
privacy
and
Views
his
roof
deck
will
be
five
feet.
Six
feet
eight
feet
away
from
my
bedroom.
We
have
met
with
Mr
Meadows
and
tried
to
give
him
a
compromise.
He
didn't
want
it,
it's
pretty
much
all
or
nothing
for
him
and
as
far
as
families
go
it's
big
enough
for
a
family.
Now
so
I
did.
We
have
over
50
sign
letters
of
opposition
against
this
proposal
and
it's
just
really
going
to
adversely
affect
everybody
behind
the
building.

have
been
nothing

just
want

say
that
I
work

I
work
with
our
youth
I'm,
a
caregiver
to

to
have

is
what

needs
to
preserve
its
authenticity

that
our
strong

and
our

bond.
So
I
am
in
full

just
wanted
to
point
out.
We
really
did
try
to
work
with
all
of
the
neighbors
by
reducing
the
size
of
the
addition
cutting
down
the
height
from
5110
to
46,
feet,
6
inches
pulling
in
the
back
quadrant
four
feet
and
taking
off
the
roof
deck.
We
really
did
try
to
accommodate
everyone
and
with
the
Meadows
to,
but
also
give
them
some
additional
living
space.
A
AG
I
would
like
to
get
clarification
from
Tom
or
Mr
Drago
in
terms
of
the
property
I
see
that
it's
on
the
neighborhood
design,
Overlake
District.
Does
it
also
required
to
be
reviewed
by
the
landmarks
Commission.
AG
Okay:
okay,
great!
That's
the
only
clarification
question
that
I
have
thank
you.
A
Yes,
the
BPD
recommendation
bpda
recommends
approval
with
Proviso.
That
plan
be
submitted
to
BPD
for
desired
review,
with
special
attention
to
proposed
rooftex
and
balconies
you're
saying
there
is
no
step
right,
correct,
okay,
any
other
questions
from
the
board.

Hello
Mr
secretary,
this
is
Mike
Ross
Madam,
chair
members
of
the
board.
I
am
the
attorney
with
the
law
from
a
principal
at
one
international
place,
I'm
joined
by
co-counsel
today,
Leslie
Delaney
Hawkins
and
our
client
Desi
friend
Jewel.
This
is
a
minority
applicant
which
is
100
Boston
resident
and
a
Boston
Equity
applicant,
approved
by
the
Boston
cannabis
board,
seeking
to
place
a
retail
cannabis
dispensary
at
this
location
at
329,
Columbus
Ave.
As
you
can
see
in
this
photo
here,
the
site
was
previously
the
location
of
a
restaurant
called
codet.
CR
Incidentally,
that
restaurant
was
open
until
1am,
it's
no
longer
open
or
operating.
The
proposed
hours
of
operations
for
this
dispensary
would
be
10
a.m
to
9
p.m,
and
that
was
negotiated
with
an
agreement
with
the
Ellis
neighborhood
association
and
on
Sundays.
The
applicant
would
be
open
from
noon
till
8
pm.
CR
The
building
itself
is
a
mixed-use
residential
and
commercial
building.
It's
in
the
community,
commercial
sub
District
in
the
South
End
Neighborhood
district
and
the
use
of
a
cannabis
establishment
is
a
conditional
use
Allowed
by
conditional
use
permit
in
this
part
of
the
District.
You
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
which
shows
you
the
surveys.
CR
This
is
a
tenant
fit
out
only
so
there
are
no
exterior
work
elements,
but
I'll
point
out
that
on
the
left
side
would
be
would
be
Columbus
Ave
on
the
right
side
would
be
the
alleyway
and
the
same
entry
and
the
same
exits
would
be
preserved,
just
as
they
were
when
this
was
a
restaurant
next
slide.
Please
here
you
will
see
the
basement
floor
plan,
so
that
is
closed
to
the
public.
Obviously,
that
is
where
we
have
our
main
Vault.
CR
Access
for
deliveries
would
be
through
the
rear
through
an
alley
just
like
it
was.
It
was
a
restaurant
and
then
access
to
the
Upper
Floor,
as
you
can
see
at
the
middle
of
plan
at
the
bottom,
is
a
stairwell
for
the
main
floor,
which
is
the
first
floor
which
is
at
ground
level
accessible
on
Columbus.
So
you
can
go
to
that
next
slide.
You
could
Madame
Ambassador
and
I'll.
Show
you
that
yeah.
Thank
you
for
zooming
in
I.
Think
this
is
the
basement.
CR
I
think
the
next
slide
will
bring
you
up
to
the
first
floor.
There
we
go
if
you
want
to
zoom
in,
like
you
did
before.
That's
that
was
kind
of
nice,
but
but
you
don't
have
to
I
think
we're
back
on
the
basement.
Ambassador.
CR
CR
You
can't
go
past
that,
of
course,
there
will
be
four
point
of
sale
stations
on
that
counter
to
do
transactions
and
then
the
rare
of
that,
like
that
back
third,
really,
that
is
back
of
house
there's
a
two
two
restrooms
for
employees,
only
there's
a
smaller
vault
or
day-to-day
use,
as
opposed
to
a
slightly
larger
Vault
downstairs
for
the
two
to
three
day
use
and
fulfillment
areas
as
well
the
front
of
the
facility
right
there,
where
you
see
it,
says
check-in.
CR
So
that's
where
of
course,
people
will
be
id'd,
but
part
of
the
agreement
we
had
with
Alice
was
to
always
have
two
security
people
on
site.
When
open
and
in
the
case
of
one
of
those
security
people,
they
would
be
right
outside
the
front
door
there
kind
of
in
that
Alcove
and
the
purpose
of
that
person.
In
addition
to
checking
IDs
and
keeping
an
eye
out
on
things
is
also
to
make
sure
that
no
one
pulls
up
to
the
facility
and
tries
to
double
Park
and
tries
to
run
in.
CR
That
was
a
big
concern
during
the
process,
and
so
that
person
is
always
going
to
have
eyes
on
that
and
no
one
would
be
allowed
in
if
that
was
the
circumstances
there.
So
those
are
kind
of
the
main
we're
talking
about
just
for
square
footage
purposes.
To
give
you
a
sense,
we're
about
1500
square
feet
on
this
floor
about
1400
square
feet
on
the
bottom
floor,
participating
probably
around
49
people
capacity
total,
including
employees
of
the
facility.
CR
That's
actually
down
from
the
70
that
Dakota
Restaurant
was
able
to
have
I
will
go
to
the
next
slide.
We
could
ma'am
ambassador,
you
go
down.
Well,
that
was
your
close-up,
but
but
that's
okay.
We
got
through
it.
I
included
a
couple
of
cameras.
We're
gonna
have
20
cameras
inside
probably
five
cameras
outside
there's
controlled
access
points
throughout
the
next
slide.
CR
We'll
show
you
that
as
well
Madam
Ambassador,
if
you
want
to
just
hit
the
next
slide-
and
here
right-
is
just
a
rendering
of
what
the
ground
floor
will
look
like
kind
of
you
can
see
in
the
distance.
That's
that
front
in
that
check-in
area
that
I
described
earlier.
There's
that
counter
that
really
separates
the
public
area
from
the
private
area.
There'll
be
counters
along
the
side
as
well.
So
that's
just
a
rendering
next
slide
to
give
you
a
quick
context
here.
CR
This
is
within
so
this
siding
here
is
is
within
that
is
outside
of
by
half
a
mile
right
of
any
other
dispensary,
and
that's
that's
significant
because
were
it
not,
it
would
trigger
a
a
variance,
and
that's
significant,
of
course,
because
we
are
under
the
conditional
use
standard
as
opposed
to
the
variance
standard,
which
would
be
a
much
higher
standard.
So
on
this
slide
and
then
on
the
next
slide,
it
just
shows
that
we're
Within
a
half
mile
buffer,
so
my
Ambassador.
CR
This
also
shows
you
the
numerous
number
of
parking
facilities
that
are
near
this
area.
If
you
know
the
area,
you
would
know
that
there
are
a
number
of
parking
facilities
in
the
area
we
did
have
in
contract,
fuss,
O'neill
fuss
and
O'neill,
which
is
a
reputable
engineering
firm,
and
we
did
provide
their
transportation
study
to
the
board
ahead
of
this
hearing
a
four-year
review
and
then
the
next
slide.
Fuss
and
O'neill
also
helped
us
understand
the
width
of
our
sidewalk
right,
so
we're
at
an
eight
foot,
four
width
of
our
sidewalk
by
most
standards.
CR
CR
It
actually
has
smaller
than
the
8484
is,
is
fairly
ample
and
that
was
produced
by
a
fasana
also,
and
that
was
presented
to
your
board
as
well
Madam
chair
ahead
of
this
here,
there
might
be
one
more
slide,
yeah,
so
I'll
leave
it
to
the
mayor's
office
and
Neighborhood
Services
to
talk
about
the
community
support
I
just
wanted
to
close
out
there
and
there's
any
questions
I'm
available.
Thank.
A
You,
and
can
you
remind
us
I,
I
I,
think
I
would
call
one
of
the
reasons
for
deferral
was
to
ask
for
a
more
Community
process.
I
might.
CR
Be
more
awesome,
that's
correct!
Thank
you!
So
attorney
Hawkins
handled
the
community
outreach
I
think
we
had
10
meetings
and
a
Madam
chair
we
get
married.
We
do
have
that
letter
that
agreement
with
the
Alice
neighbor
Association,
which
we're
very
happy
to
have
have
gotten
but
I,
would
ask
if
my
co-counsel
has,
if
it's
all
right
man
chair
anything
to
add
with
regard
to
what
happened
before
the
deferral
and
today
absolutely.
AR
Thank
you
very
much.
Mike
Madam
chair,
Leslie,
Delaney
Hawkins,
with
the
law
firm
of
Prince
levaldei.
We
did
have
upwards
and
we've
detailed
this
and
what
was
submitted
to
the
board
numerous
Community
meetings
above
and
beyond
what
is
statutorily
required
and
that
all
also
involved,
Desi
friend
Jewel
from
herbal
power
meeting
one
on
one
with
anyone
and
everyone
in
the
South
End
that
that
would
have
a
conversation
with
her.
The
prior
deferral
was
simply
to
allow
her
continuing
to
do
that
person
on
person.
Outreach.
AR
A
You
questions
from
the
board.
CR
Yeah,
so
the
hours
of
operations
would
be
Monday
through
Saturday
10
a.m,
to
9
p.m,
that
we
were
allowed
to
do,
9
A.M
to
9
p.m,
but
agreed
to
10
a.m,
to
9
p.m.
Due
to
the
agreement
with
Ellis
neighborhood
and
then
on
Sundays
we
are,
we
would
be
noon
to
8
P.M
Ms
bed
of
Rosa.
B
Yes,
Mr
Ross
I
understand
that
the
applicant
is
a
Equity
applicant.
What
is
the
definition
of
that
and
how
they
could
feel
this
requirement.
CR
So
there
are
a
number
of
criteria
that
that
will
allow
you
to
be
in
aggressive,
and
one
of
them
is
if
you're
a
Boston
resident.
One
of
them
is,
if
you
identify
with
a
a
minority
status,
if
you
will
a
black
latino
such
this
applicant
identifies
as
a
latinx
dissent.
CR
Shoot
Desi
is
on
the
call
as
well.
There's
also
other
criteria
around
income
and
and
it's
all
determined
by
the
Boston
cannabis
board.
There
are
six
different
criteria
and
if
you
qualify
for
three,
you
are
a
equity
applicant,
and
that
was
the
case
here.
Thank
you.
CF
AF
A
Okay
with
that
I'm
guessing
there's
some
public
testimony,
so
we'll
try
to
limit
if
folks
can
make
sure
you're
building
upon
others
and
not
repeating
the
same
information.
That
would
be
great
Jessica,
we'll.
BZ
Hi
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Ken
crucially
from
May's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
Our
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board
on
this
matter.
The
applicant
did
an
extensive
community
outreach
process.
They
held
two
of
their
own
private
informational
meetings
as
well
as
met
with
the
Ellis
neighborhood
association.
Three
times
our
office
held
the
official
statutory
about
his
meeting
in
May
of
2022.
That
was
widely
attended
by
about
140.
Voters
concerns
over
traffic,
pedestrian
safety,
parking
watering
and
proximity
to
a
public
park
were
raised.
BZ
AZ
Office,
the
counselor
provided
a
letter
to
the
board
in
non
opposition,
and
he
would
like
to
recognize
that
this
is
an
equity
applicant
and
minority
in
Black
owned
business
who
reside
in
Boston
in
the
last
few
months.
We
have
heard
concerns
from
residents
and
Community
leaders
about
having
a
canary
dispensary
at
this
particular
location.
Neighbors
and
our
brothers
have
highlighted
that
the
proposed
location
is
an
already
busy
area
with
cars
and
pedestrians,
nothing
on
a
rate
of
existing
pedestrian
safety
issues
that
may
be
exacerbated
by
normal
parking
and
increased
congestions
on
Columbus
Avenue.
AZ
J
T
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
at
this
time,
Council
Murphy
would
like
I
would
say
that
she's
in
non-op
position
and
also
just
want
to
make
a
point
that
we
have
worked
with
this
proponent
in
the
past,
and
you
know
they
are
very
good
with
the
community
process
and
being
able
to
compromise.
So
just
want
to
make
that
point.
Thank
you.
CO
J
And
then
I'll
go
to
the
comments
on
the
attendee
section.
If
people
can
again
just
be
brief
and
not
read
from
paper,
if
you
can
just
summarize,
if
you're
in
support
and
opposition
start
with
Lewis
state,
your
name
and
address
for
the
record,
please.
AP
So
I'm
in
opposition
I
submitted
a
letter
to
you
signed
by
21
people
from
my
building
in
Strong
Enough
position
to
The
Dispensary.
That
is
all
but
one
person
from
my
Association.
We
also
have
signatures
from
the
people
above
where
the
business
would
be
the
direct
dividers.
On
the
other
side,
people
who
live
on
the
other
side
of
the
shared
alley
and
large
numbers
of
people
on
the
same
block,
all
in
strong
opposition,
okay,.
CS
I
want
to
comment
on
the
some
of
the
the
most
recently
filed
note
by
the
business
owner,
but
I
want
to
reiterate
a
really
really
important
point,
which
is
this
a
lot
of
active
opposition
here
over
150
of
others?
I,
don't
believe
the
supporters
are
actually
a
Butters.
CS
So
if
there's
150
Butters
that
are
formerly
in
opposition,
but
it's
really
due
to
the
specific
facts
of
this
particular
location.
We
pointed
out
publicly
other
locations
in
the
neighborhood
which
would
not
create
the
set
of
issues
and
or
engender
this
type
of
opposition,
including
two
locations
that
are
actually
within
a
block
or
so
of
the
proposed
site.
There's
been
no
engagement
on
any
of
those
Alternatives
and
also
to
correct
the
record,
or
at
least
just
for
the
record
since
the
post
movement
of
the
early
December
of
hearing.
CS
The
only
thing
was
added
was
the
note
on
the
third
law
of
adequacy
or
report
inadequacy,
as
the
case
may
be,
and
as
Mike
Ross
mentioned,
they
compared
to
three
promotional
sites
but
they're
downtown
they're,
very,
very
different
from
a
highly
practiced,
highly
residential
Zone,
and
we
sent
to
an
exhibit
with
photos
and
detail.
That
makes
the
rather.
AA
CS
Nature
of
those
comparisons
pretty
obvious.
Lastly,
regarding
the
problem
of
the
sidewalk,
there
are
no
or
additional
filing,
only
reinforced
an
original
error
by
not
addressing
the
real
issue
here
when
you
measure
the
sidewalk
width.
You
may
know
this
already,
but
the
sidewalk
here
has
been
very
problematic.
It's
actually
the
most
narrow
sidewalk
in
all
of
Columbus,
Avenue
and
south
end,
and
it
is
so
narrow
that
actually
fails
to
meet
the
minimum
five
feet.
J
J
P
CT
My
name
is
Joshua
love,
I,
have
a
business
address
of
185
Devonshire
Street
10th
floor
in
Boston.
My
office
represents
members
of
the
neighborhood
action
committee,
which
has
submitted
a
petition
signed
by
over
185
of
Voters
located
close
to
this
location,
without
repeating
I
would
like
to
emphasize
the
sidewalk
concern
mixed
with
the
fact
that
there
would
be
a
security
guard
posted
apparently
by
or
outside
the
door,
which
just
further
aggravates
that
issue
of
another
significant
concern
here
is
the
applicant's
position
that
no
buffer
zone
conflict
exists.
CT
The
Z
Gaya
is
charged
with
enforcing
the
Boston
zoning
code
and
that
Boston
zoning
code
provides
for
the
half
mile
buffer
zone
I'm
concerned
with
the
applicant's
exhibit
showing
walking
distance
being
0.6
miles.
Walking
distance
is
not
the
metric
provided
in
the
Boston
zoning
code.
It's
a
0.5
mile
buffer
from
lot
line
to
lot
line.
So
this
is
actually
well
within
that
and
that
highlights
a
larger
concern
that
the
applicant's
materials
don't
seem
to
be
addressing

I,
am
a
butter
to
this
location.
I
am
opposed
to
this
application
that
there
have
been
numerous
issues
that
have
been
brought
up
over
the
entire
period
of
this,
going
on
I
keep
hearing
references
to
a
quote
deal
that
has
been
cut
with
the
Ellis
neighborhood
association.
None
of
the
issues
that
have
been
raised
by
The
Neighborhood
have
been
addressed
in
any
way
throughout
this
process
and
neighborhood
engagement,
since
these
issues
were
raised,
has
been
effectively
zero.
BQ
The
issues
raised
as
it
relates
to
buffer
zone
and
sidewalk
I
think
are
well
documented,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
those.
This
is
one
of
the
most
dangerous
intersections
in
the
South
End,
and
no
one
that
I'm
aware
of
that
is
in
opposition
to
this
application
is
a
is
opposed
to
a
dispensary.
It
is.
They
are
simply
opposed
to
it
in
this
location,
which
will
make
an
already
dangerous
situation
relation
significantly
worse.

Hello,
my
name
is
Todd
Davis
I'm
at
325,
Columbus,
Avenue
and
I'm
also
interested
in
the
building.
If
you
remember
the
rendering
from
the
front
the
ground
floor
of
the
dispensary
that
bank
of
cabinets,
that's
in,
there
is
actually
the
link
of
my
living
room,
dining
room
at
its
wall,
so
I'm
the
closest
to
butter
of
anyone
and
I'd
like
to
State
my
strong
support
of
this
project.
CL
It
addresses
they
have
addressed
every
concern:
they're
thin,
the
sidewalk
that
people
keep
talking
about
they're,
not
even
measuring
that
property.
What
they're
talking
about
is
buy
property
with
an
app
free.
The
one
and
three
borrow
329
has
no
furniture,
three
pits
or
anything
else
in
front
of
that
property.
CL
It
goes
from
the
building
to
the
street
on
interrupt
I'd,
also
like
to
say
that
well,
I
do
support
the
property
and
the
petition
and
letters
that
you
seem
to
be
getting
should
look
at
those
very
closely
the
post,
the
last
one
that
I
saw
because
I'm
not
involved
in
this.
The
last
one
I
saw
had
fabricated
signatures,
and
one
signature
was
even
from
a
three-year-old,
so
I
would
take
that
with
a
grain
of
salt.
So.
CL
A
Is
there
anyone
from
Ellis
since
the
Council
Ross
keeps
mentioning
Ellis
neighborhood
I.
A
I
I
wanna,
we
we've
heard
a
lot
from
opposition,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
if
there's
anyone
in
support
that
we
hear
from
them
as
well,
it
may.

I

the

to
the

to

I,

of

at

I
keep
hearing
all
this
stuff
about
this
business
at

location.
This
business
is
gonna.
Do
this?
This
is

That's
wrong!
I
am
also
an
economic
empowerment,
Advocate
as

We've
been
having
such
a
hard

This
is
going

be

good

They
have
addressed
every

thing
to
all
the
people
in

neighborhood
Desiree
goes
over

above

I
am
in
full
support
of
this
business.
Thank
you.

Hello,
hello,
yes,
my
name
is
Mike
Curtis
and
I
live
at
333,
Columbus,
Ave
and
I'm
in
total
support
for
this
I've
lived
here
for
30
years,
and
it's
always
a
five.
That's
next
door.
With
this.
With
this,
with
horrible
horrible
power,
there'll
be
someone
there
who
will
watch
the
door,
they'll
be
and
it'll
be
open.
AK
Till
nine,
not
late
till
two,
like
the
bar
that
would
usually
be
they'll,
also
have
cameras
to
keep
an
eye
on
the
street
and
accountability,
which
is
something
we
really
need
so
I'm
for
this
100
and
everyone
in
my
building
is
as
well
and
we'll
be
right
next
door
to
this.
Okay.
Thank
you.
You.
C
Madam,
chair
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
what
I'd
like
to
just
go
on
the
record.
I
think
the
use
these
uses
operate
similarly
to
other
retail
commercial
uses
and
I
think
they're
heavily
regulated,
Beyond
zoning
and
I
also
think
as
more
are
approved,
the
demand
spreads
out.
So
there's
not
a
mad
rush
to
you
know.
One
approved
store.
AG
I
add
a
can
I
recommend
a
Proviso
only
if
Chidi
agrees,
but
doesn't
have
to
accept.
Of
course,
I
would
suggest
for
this
applicant.
Only
and
I
would
also
because
it's
in
a
residential
area,
an
X
proximity
I,
would
recommend
a
Proviso
of
the
hours
of
operation
which
has
already
been
stated
from
Monday
to
Saturday,
from
9
to
10,
to
9
00
PM,
but
on
Sunday,
rather
than
closing
at
nine
to
close
at
6
PM.
So
from
12
to
6
on
Sunday.

Like
I

on

I
mean
I
know
it's
next
to
clarities
as
well,
which
I
don't
know.
C
B
I'm
sure
I
think
the
project
has
substantial
Community
process.
They
follow
the
requirements
from
the
Boston
can
always
board.
I
understand
that
there
are
a
lot
of
emotions
about
this.
We
we
read
the
layers
of
support
and
opposition,
but
with
that
I'm
moving
forward
to
say,
gso,
emotion
and
support
this
project.

Miller

State

in
Boston
here
on
behalf
of
Adam
sarbo
who's,
the
property
owner
and
lives
at
the
property.
CV
You
could
see
well
waiting
for
the
first
slide.
It
looks
like
to
open
up,
but
hopefully
this
is
a
little
bit
more
straightforward
than
the
last
one
Madam
chair.
This
is
just
an
existing
three
family.
It's
an
owner,
occupied
three
family
where
Mr
sorbaugh
lives
at
nine
Oswald
Street
in
Mission,
Hill
The
Proposal
seeks
permission
to
change
occupancy
from
the
existing
three
family
to
a
four
family
by
simply
utilizing
existing
and
approved
legal
living
space
in
the
lower
level.
CV
Here
you
can
see
on
the
first
page
an
image
of
the
building
from
the
street
and
would
be
fitting
it
out
with
a
new
kitchen
and
other
interior
work
with
upgraded
sprinklers.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
Madam
Ambassador
you'll
just
do
the
existing
conditions.
You
can
see,
on
the
left
hand,
side
the
existing
space
on
the
lower
level.
It
currently
includes
two
bedrooms:
a
family
room
and
a
bathroom,
but
these
this
living
area
is
all
connected
to
the
first
floor
unit,
which
you
can
see
on
the
right
hand,
side
existing
altogether.
CV
This
is
a
six
bedroom
three
bath
unit
when
you
include
the
lower
level
space
and
the
first
floor
space
as
it
is
today,
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
Madam
Ambassador
you'll
see
the
proposed
conditions
which
breaks
off
this
lower
level,
lower
level
space
into
its
own
two
bed,
one
bath
unit.
It
adds
a
kitchen
there.
CV
On
the
left,
hand,
side
that
you
can
see
is
highlighted
some
closet
space,
as
well
as
a
new
and
expanded
egress
swell
on
the
bottom
and
expanded
egre
as
well
at
the
top
of
the
page
for
that
lower
level
unit.
So
this
would
make
the
first
floor
unit
Madam
chair
into
kind
of
a
more
standard
four
bedroom
two
bath
unit,
instead
of
a
six
bedroom
three
bath.
The
way
it
is
now
that
new
unit
on
the
low
on
the
left
hand,
side
would
be
989
square
feet.
So
it's
a
nice
large,
two
bedroom.
CV
It
does
have
adequate
ceiling.
Heights
seven
feet
six
inches
and
there
would
be
no
expansion
of
the
bedroom
count
down
there.
It
would
continue
to
be
two
bedrooms
in
one
bath,
which
is
what
it
is
today.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
Madam
Ambassador
you'll
see
this
is
just
it's
a
little
tough
to
see,
but
we
can
zoom
in.
If
you
want,
it
does
show
the
grade
and
elevations.
It
does
show
these
replace
an
expanded,
egress
Wells,
both
at
the
front
and
at
the
rear
of
the
property.
CV
And
then
there
are
side
windows
as
well
which
go
into
this
lower
level
living
space.
The
next
slide
Madam
Ambassador
is
it
comes
up.
It's
just
a
a
Boston
Water
and
soar
commission
approval
that
just
shows
the
new
sprinkler
connections,
so
this
would
upgrade
Life
Safety
to
the
building
and
to
the
new
unit.
It's
a
fairly
simple
plan.
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide:
Madam
Ambassador!
Maybe
if
this
one
isn't
coming
up-
oh
there,
it
is
so
again.
This
just
shows
the
the
Boston
Water
approval
that
shows
the
new
sprinkler
connections.
CV
Just
so
there's
adequate
Life
Safety
to
the
building
and
Madam
Ambassador.
If
you
go
to
the
next
few
slides,
if
they
pop
up
I,
don't
know
if
they'll
load
or
not,
but
the
next
few
sides
just
will,
you
know,
show
photos
of
the
existing
living
conditions
down
there.
Madam
chair,
you
know
just
to
show
the
living
space
that's
already
down
there,
there's
adequate
light
and
air
there
actually
already
is
a
door
to
the
unit
at
the
rear
that
would
just
be
utilized
for
entrance
to
the
unit.
CV
CV
Okay,
so
these
these
slides,
although
it's
dark
now
it
would
show-
and
if
it
does
pop
up
during
testimony,
we
can
go
back
to
it,
but
man,
it
just
shows
the
living
area.
That's
down
there,
that
there
is,
you
know
adequate
ceiling,
height,
light
and
air
down
in
that
space
and
then
I
think
the
10,
the
last
slide
and
I'll
wrap
up
Madame
chair
is
just
a
matter
of
Ambassador.
CV
If
you
can
go
to
the
last
slide
that
one
might
actually
pop
up,
because
it's
not
a
photo
well
that
didn't
either
so
I'm
striking
out
here,
but
it's
just
a
map
that
shows
a
direct.
The
butter
support.
I
know
that
the
mayor's
office
will
talk
about
the
process
Madam
chair,
but
direct
support
from
all
of
our
owners
and
renters
around
us
so
happy
to
go
through
more
in
detail.
I
know:
it's
been
a
long
day.
There
is
zoning
relief
needed,
but
all
the
relief
requested
is
minimal.
CV
It's
there's
no
changes
to
the
existing
conditions
in
that
space.
It's
the
same
bedroom
count.
It
would
be
the
same
bedroom
in
the
building
as
it
is
now
and
all
the
subject
work.
Oh
here
you
go.
Thank
you,
madam
Ambassador,
so
this
just
shows
the
door
out
and
the
ceiling
height
in
the
space.
CV
Now,
if
you
scroll
down
just
through
the
next
few,
slides
you'll,
just
see
again
the
existing
space,
the
the
window
out
the
existing
when
I'm
exit
from
the
unit,
which
is
already
there
from
that
space
again,
the
windows
there
there
are,
you
know
pretty
full-size
Windows
into
the
space
and
then
the
next
slide
should
just
Show
additional
Windows
there
and
then
the
last
slide
is
just
out
of
butter
support
that
I
had
mentioned
so
this
book,
as
I
could
Madam
chair
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
No.
A
Worries
and
apologies
in
advance
to
anyone
left
again,
we've
been
having
technical
difficulty,
so
any
questions
from

Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Steven
Stewart
and
I
am
representing
to
Carlisle
Street.
We
are
doing
constructing
a
driveway
and
also
curb
cut
this.
The
old
plan.
The
driveway
was
two:
it
wasn't
long
enough
to
to
accommodate
the
the
cars
and
also
it
was
too.
It
wasn't
long
enough
to
be
past
the
front
yard.
So
we
just
didn't
edit
and
we
submitted
this
plan
back
to
our
Bachelor
serving
company
and
they
extended
the
went
through
the
driveway
about
12.9
feet.
CI
If
you
can
see
there,
so
the
original
length
was
32.6
and
they
just
added
12.9
feet
to
that.
So
now
it's
about
45
and
a
half
feet,
which
should
be
plenty
like
four
drop
away
requirements,
but
but
yeah
that's
essentially
what
we're
trying
to
do.
BC
In
yes,
hi
I'm
plugged
with
me
for
BTD
I'm
out
of
Jefferson
and
members
of
the
board,
since
they
increased
the
the
distance
of
45
feet
yeah,
it
does
apply.
So
it
doesn't
result
in
front
yard
parking.

K
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Keisha

from

was
held
on
September
12th,
where
a
Butters
expressed
support
due
to
the
need
for
parking
in
the
area.
They
met
with
Civic
number
26
of

where
they
received
support
from
the
Holborn
gannet
gas
and
Otis
field,
better

Inc.
K
There
was
a

submitted

at
this
point
we
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
mark
lacasse.
My
office
is
La
casla,
75,
Arlington
Street
in
Boston
attorney
for
the
applicant
19
Ashland
LLC,
whose
principles
are
Ray
bogus
and
Michaela
DeSantis,
both
of
whom
are
on
with
us.
The
architect
of
record
is
Jason
arndt
of
zephyr
architects,
and
we
are
pleased
to
present
this
proposal
to
you
today,
which
has
been
before
this
board
once
and
I'll.
CY
Explain
that
and
has
also
been
the
subject
of
coming
on
a
three-year
process,
largely
related
to
a
component
piece
of
the
project
which
is
shown
here
in
the
renderings
as
the
red
brick
building
on
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
project.
The
original
proposal
was
a
large
building
one
building.
If
you
could
stay
on
that
one
slide.
CY
That's
sort
of
yeah
that
had
eight
units
and
the
proposal
was
to
demolish
the
existing
structure
that
is
standing
on
this
fifteen
thousand
five
hundred
square
foot
lot.
We
filed
our
application
for
demolition
delay
and
landmarks.
Commission
then
entertained
a
petition
brought
by
some
residents
of
Dorchester
and
the
Dorchester
Historical
Society
to
seek
to
establish
some
protection
for
this
structure.
CY
Taking
the
cue
from
the
landmarks
commission
and
Desiring
to
work
with
them
and
the
neighborhood
to
get
a
project
that
was
approvable,
the
plans
were
substantially
changed
completely.
A
new
architect
was
hired.
Zephyr
Architects
has
considerable
experience
in
history,
working
with
historic
buildings
and
additions
there
too,
and
when
we
next
appeared
before
the
this
board
in
November
of
2021.
CY
CY
This
is
in
response
to
working
with
the
community
and
working
with
landmarks
commission
to
reduce
the
massing
by
dividing
it
into
two
buildings.
In
the
back,
there
will
be
four
separate
townhouses,
so
this
project
now
represents
a
total
of
seven
townhouses,
all
approximately
two
thousand
square
feet,
all
three
bedrooms,
all
containing
garage
parking
tucked
in
and
away
from
the
public
view,
because
that
was
one
of
the
initial
design
considerations.
That
was
a
rub.
CY
So
a
little
bit
of
background
on
the
existing
conditions
because
of
the
age
of
the
house.
It's
not
traditionally
facing
Ashland
Street.
In
other
words,
the
front
door
of
the
house
is
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
this
slide
sort
of
facing
the
backyard
of
the
budding
property
orientation
of
the
existing
historic
structure
was
very
important
to
the
landmarks
commission,
so
that
orientation
remains
and
the
portion
next
slide.
CY
Please
that
is
being
added
on
to
the
front
structure,
is
essentially
the
left
hand
side
of
that
image
with
the
rear
building
in
the
back
with
the
four
additional
units.
Shaded
is
the
driveway,
with
the
existing
curb
cut
on
Ashland
Street,
which
will
serve
as
the
entry
point
for
each
of
the
garages
for
the
townhouses
in
the
front
building
and
the
four
townhouses
in
the
back
building
during
our
ISD
permit
review
process.
CY
There
were
issues
raised
by
our
plans
examiner
concerning
the
width
of
the
driveway
and
access
for
fire
vehicles
because
of
the
existence
of
the
second
building
on
the
same
lot,
and
we
did
work
closely
with
the
fire
department
and
Tom
O'donnell
at
ISD
to
get
permission
from
the
fire
department
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward.
And
that
is
so
noted
on
our
updated
refusal.
Letter
next
slide.
AA
CY
Some
more
elevations
next
slide
again.
This
just
shows
the
orientation
of
the
structures
and
the
preservation
of
a
significant
amount
of
open
space
and
green
space
with
respect
to
the
front
of
the
property.
That
was
a
lot
of
the
contribution
and
suggestions
from
the
landmarks
Commission
on
orienting
the
front
doors
and
the
front
yards
of
each
of
the
properties,
so
that
they
would
read
and
feel
like
single-family
homes
with
separate
entrances.
CY
CY
Again,
each
of
the
units
is
self-contained
two
thousand
square
feet:
three
bedroom
units,
so
satisfying
a
need
for
family-sized
units
in
this
neighborhood,
and
although
it
is
in
a
1f
sub-district,
there
are
predominance
of
properties
that
are
in
the
immediate
vicinity
on
Elm
Street
behind
that
contain
four
to
six
units,
there's
a
large
historic
property
across
the
street
and
about
our
for
whom
we
have
support.
That
did
a
similar
thing
preserve
the
existing
large
historic
house
and
behind
the
house.
There
are
three
buildings
with
six
condominium
units.
CY
These
are
the
elevations,
the
preservation
of
the
historic
building,
which
is,
on
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
lower
elevation
and
the
right
hand
side
in
the
middle,
just
showing
that
the
restoration
of
the
historic
structure
will
also
include
returning
certain
window
openings
to
the
historic
original.
My
clients
have
done
a
lot
of
work
in
connection
with
the
architect
on
finding
as
much
history
about
this
property
as
possible
and
doing
everything
to
restore
it,
as
as
an
essential
and
sort
of
central
feature
of
this
development
is
the
preservation
of
that
that
building
next
slide.
CY
You
want
us
to
focus
on
anything
else,
but
I
just
wanted
to
make
our
case,
and
since
it's
been
a
three
years
long
absolutely
I
hope
you
understand
that
lot
has
preceded
you
and
my
clients
have
done
a
diligent
effort
of
working
with
the
commission
and
in
fact,
I've
never
received
a
letter
of
support
directly
from
the
landmarks
commission.
So
we
were
quite
pleased
on
that
front
as
well,
but
thank
you
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
I
have
my
clients
are
here
as
well.
Absolutely.
AG
But
I'm
sure
that
plans
are
pretty
accurate.
Adequate
I
would
say
that
the
the
project
is
complementary
to
the
existing
structure.
So
I
commend
for
that.
You
know
long
kind
of
design
process
to
get
it
right.
AG
The
only
kind
of
disjunction
I
see
really
is
in
the
site
planning
in
regards
to
connecting
a
kind
of
pathway
directly
to
the
to
the
to
the
structure
behind
I
would
have
liked
to
see
a
little
bit
more
of
a
connection
and
I
just
think
that
it
just
asphalt,
parking
or
Surface
parking
is
being
included,
but
I
think
if
we
were
to
you,
know
like
reduce
a
little
bit
of
that
kind
of
rear,
rear,
surface
parking
and
connect
more
with
the
walkway
that
secondary
structure
would
have
even
more
access
to
the
open
space
to
assure
open
space.
A
Okay
and
just
to
note
again,
Mr
Hampton
is
not
here.
His
recommendation
is
approval
with
Proviso
that
plans
be
submitted
to
BPD
for
design
review,
increased
side
yard
setback
to
reduce
curious
pavement
with
that
may
I
have
public
testimony.

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name

Neighborhood
Services.
The
applicant
has
completed
their
Community
process.
Our
office
has
held
three
of
butter
meetings
regarding
this
project,
with
the
most
recent
one
being
in
April
2021..
Additionally
We.
Additionally,
we've
received
multiple
letters
of
support
for

for
criminal
voters

the

have
done
continuous
Outreach
within

Go
ahead
good
afternoon,
I'm
Allison

executive
director
of
the
Boston
preservation
Alliance,
a
non-profit
advocate
for
historic
preservation
located
at
87
Mount
Vernon
Street.
We
have
met
with
the
project
team
and
feel
that
they
have
been
responsive
to
our
concerns
and
are
proposing
an
appropriate
Rehabilitation
of
the
Astoria
building
with
contextually
sensitive
new
additions,
so
we're
happy
to
support
this
project.
Thank
you.
BA
CZ
Hi
Ashton
straight
I
live
at
29,
Mill
Street,
which
is
directly
a
budding
I'll.
Keep
my
comments
brief,
because
my
partner,
who
also
lives
here
and
is
the
owner
of
the
property,
also
has
a
lot
to
say.
We
are
strongly
opposed
to
this
plan,
in
particular
because
of
the
violation
of
the
setbacks.
CZ
So
the
proposed
four
units
of
Townhouses
that
sit
in
the
back
of
the
property
are
less
than
three
feet
from
our
back
yard,
so
they
sit
almost
directly
on
the
property
line
and
in
the
most
recent
plans
that
we
saw,
they
actually
have
the
balconies,
and
so
we
feel
like
having
three
stories
of
Townhouses.
Looking
directly
onto
our
backyard
would
be
a
pretty
serious.
You
know,
violation
of
our
privacy
and
our
you
know,
sort
of
ability
to
enjoy
our
backyard
and
not
feel
like
we're,
providing
a
view
for
other
people.
DA
Hi,
this
is
Stacy
Anders
or
Stacy.
Toomey
I
live
at
38,
Mill
Street,
so
I
live
at
the
near
the
same.
Prominent
intersection
of
Mill
Street
in
Ashland
and
I'm
strongly
opposed
to
this
proposal
because
of
the
excessive
density
of
changing
a
two
family
to
seven
townhouses
and
the
insufficient
side
and
rear
step
facts
which
have
already
been
mentioned
to
be
three
feet
on
the
side.
J
Okay,
thank
you.
Liz.
BB
J
AI
Yes,
hi,
my
name
is
Liz
Jacobs
I
live
at
31,
Mill
Street
right
around
the
corner
from
this
property.
My
family
has
been
in
this
neighborhood,
so
60
plus
years
I
have
had
many
conversations
with
Mr
bogle's
related
to
the
neighborhood,
as
well
as
the
project
I
feel
he
has
done
his
due
diligence
and
trying
to
meet
the
concerns
of
the
neighborhood
and
I
fully
support
this
project.
DB
Hi,
yes,
my
name
is
Jeff
Gore
I
am
the
owner
of
29
Mill
Street,
it's
at
the
corner
of
Mill
and
Ashland,
so
it
need
two
of
the
property
lines
are
adjacent
to
our
land
and,
as
Ashton
said,
we
opposed
the
current
proposed
plans
because
of
the
rear
setback.
DB
We
do
think
that
there
should
be
some
symmetry
in
the
sense
that
anything
that
is
done
on
our
neighbor's
land
should,
in
principle
be
possible
for
us
to
do.
Otherwise.
It
means
that
they
are
really
using
our
property
as
their
backyard,
and
then
they
will
have
appearance
about
what
we
think.
A
Thank
you.
We,
your
your
testimony,
is
also
in
the
record
by
email
any
other
additional
stands.
Thank
you
any
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
Before
we
take
a
vote
and
hearing
none
may
I
have
a
motion.

8th
Street
first
Lewis
Boston
with
me
today
is
the
applicant
Miguel
Castillo,
as
as
read
into
record.
This
proposal
is,
is
here
for
rediscussion
due
to
administrative
deferrals
coming
to
the
year
end
so
again,
we're
here
seeking
to
combine
three
Parcels
amounting
to
approximately
10
800
square
feet,
to
erect
a
new
three-story
building
with
11
dwelling
units
14
off
street
parking
spaces
in
the
rear
of
the
property.
AE
In
a
bike
storage
unit
for
approximately
12
bikes,
two
of
those
units
will
be
offered
as
affordable
units
to
comply
with
the
mayor's
initiative.
Affordable
housing
is
the
equivalent
of
the
20
rather
than
what
is
what
the
regulation
requires
at
13,
all
units
will
be
owner
occupied.
AE
Further
The
Proposal
will
restore
parking
to
the
neighborhood,
as
there
is
currently
two
existing
curb
Cuts
one
will
be
used
for
the
parking
scheme
you
reach
the
way
to
the
neighborhood.
This
proposal
is
located
within
a
2f
5000
sub-district.
The
building
footprint
is
approximately
3956
square
feet,
which
is
approximately
forty
percent.
Lock
coverage
units
will
range
approximately
from
475
square
feet.
All
the
way
to
1660
square
feet,
if
you
could
turn
it
to
Page
Six
of
of
the
plans.
AE
Please
first
floor
will
consist
of
one
Studio,
two
one
bedrooms
and
two
one
bedroom
with
balconies
on
the
corner
units
they'll
also
you'll
notice
that
there's
a
trash
area,
there's
a
bike
storage,
and
then
you
can
see
that
there's
carved
out
for
a
little
carve
out
in
the
back
right
hand,
corner
for
free
covered
parking
spaces
as
well.
Two,
the
units
two
of
those
units
will
be
the
affordable
ones.
AE
One
is
the
studio
and
one
is
the
one
bedroom
in
the
in
the
front
of
the
building
on
the
left
hand,
side
next
page,
please
second
floor
will
consist
of
three
one
bedrooms
with
study
and
one
two
bedroom
with
study.
Again,
the
corner
units
will
have
balconies
as
well.
Next
page
third
floor
will
consist
of
two
one
bedrooms
with
study
and
one
free
bedroom
with
study.
Both
will
have
balconies
Corner
units
again
will
have
those
balconies
as
well.
AE
The
proposed
floor
area
ratio
is
a
1.0.
What
is
compliant
is
at
0.5
by
the
code.
Building
height
is
actually
compliant
for
the
feet,
but
the
stories
is
excessive.
We're
proposing
three
stories
and
2.5
is
what
is
required.
A
Gable
design
was
provided
for
the
roof
to
better
fit
than
a
flat
root
in
the
character
in
the
neighborhood
front
yard.
AE
What
we're
proposing
is
is
10
feet.
We
have
the
front
the
the
frontage
alignment,
which
we're
a
little
bit
short,
but
the
body
of
the
building
is
actually
15
feet.
Property
line
parking
will
be
eight
full
size
at
eight
foot
by
six
by
Twenty
in
six
compact
sizes,
seven
feet
by
18
feet
and
again
the
parking
scheme
is
a
little
bit
more
elaborated
on
page
six
of
the
drawings
and
then
lastly,
the
building
will
be
equipped
with
an
elevator
for
excessive
accessibility.
A
You
Mr
Smith,
it's
just
to
clarify.
Have
you
made
any
changes
to
the
you
know,
unit
count
or
height
or
anything
else
since
you
last
presented,
or
was
it
just
an
administrative
deferral?
Yes,.
AE
Madam
chair,
there
were
many
many
changes,
so
the
very
first
hearing
I
believe
was
back
in
June
2022
and
we
went
through
an
extensive
Community
process.
We,
you
know,
we
we
made
changes
to
the
dimension
of
the
massing
of
the
building,
we
reduced
the
setbacks,
we
complied
with
parking
and
then
we
provided
more
more
affordability,
components
of
the
neighborhood.
AE
Comply
with
the
initiative
of
20
and
they're
identify
because
I
know
you'd
like
to
specifically
identify
those
units
would
be
on
the
the
ground
floor
first
floor,
which
would
be
the
studio
unit
and
then
the
one
bedroom
on
in
the
front
of
the
building.
On
the
left
hand,
side.
AE
As
of
now,
yes,
because
if
we,
if
we
reduce
the
parking
spaces,
that's
going
to
provide
another
violation
on
the
zoning,
what
is
required
here
by
parking
would
be
13.5
parking
spaces.
So
then,
if
if
we
did
reduce
them
here
today,
again
we'd
have
to
you
know,
re-advertise
and
go
through
a
whole
other
process.
At
this
point
in
time,
that
was
one
of
the
biggest
issues
when
discussing
with
with
some
of
the
budding
residents
was
parking
because
of
the
original
proposal
we
weren't
complying
with
parking.
C
W
H
AE
Yes,
but
we
will
reduce
it.
Yes,
we
increased
the
property,
we
actually
reduced,
the
the
massing
of
the
building
as
well
and
redo
bedroom
count
substantially.
So
originally
we
were
at
approximately
I
think
21
bedrooms
and
that's
what
the
neighborhood
disliked
was.
The
the
bedroom
count
as
well,
so
we
figured
out
we'd,
use
it
and
then
again,
as
well
as
the
parking.
That's
why
we
kind
of
had
a
ratio
of
one
parking
space
per
bedroom
here,
yeah.

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Eric
James,
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
applicant
for
45
Milton
Street
held
two
previous
abutters,
meaning
they
they
met
with
the
Dorchester
unified
neighborhood
association
in
May
of
2022,
and
the
association
voted
to
oppose
the
project,
citing
parkland's
concerns
initially,
and
they
are
still
signing
parking
concerns
even
with
the
14
parking
spaces,
as
the
building
will
contain
11
units,
they
believe
too
many
apartments,
bedrooms
and
people
the
only
little
just
congestion
street.
CG
S
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Council
Worrell.
The
council
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
of
45
Milton
Ave.
BC
Yes,
I
Madam,
chair
lady
and
members
of
the
board,
probably
Miko
BTD,
unless
I
miss
something
I
only
see
one
crook
nut.
Yet
they
mentioned
two
curb
cuts:
I'd
like
to
request
a
clarification
on
that,
and
if
this
project
is
approved,
I
I
strongly
impose
14
parking
spaces.
I
know
parking
is
at
issue,
but
BTD
regulations
have
bought
me
somewhat
of
a
change
and
we
would
support
our
one
space
per
unit
with
an
increase
in
Opening
space.
AE
Yes,
Miss
Mr
D'amico,
so
this
is
three
Parcels
in
one
one
parcel
I'm.
Just
let
me
just
I'm
going
to
scroll
through
my
drawings
here,
just
to
see
exactly
where
the
site
plan
is
to
show
you
it's
on
page,
since,
on
page
five,
five
of
thirteen
actually
I'm,
sorry,
no,
it
would
be
page
six
yep.
So
so
you
can
see
is,
on
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
property
on
page
six
where
the
car
is
actually
entering.
AE
AE
So
do
we
have
the
drawings
on
page
on
page
six,
you
scroll
over
on
the
on
the
fine
line
right
next
to
the
car
on
the
right
hand,
side
scroll
over
to
the
Middle,
where
it
says
Brown
floor
plans
directly
up.
There
is
where
that
curb
cut
is
being
filled
in
right.
There.
BC
It's
not
reflected
on
the
planet
number
one
number
two:
you
have
two
spaces
right
at
the
ends
of
the
the
project,
which
makes
no
sense.
You
can
see
the
other.
Let's
see
two
four
six,
seven,
eight
nine
I
can
see.
I
can
see
12
spaces
make
no
sense.
AE
Okay,
so
those
I
mean
they
do
have
the
eight
foot
six
you
know
wide
by
by
20
feet
long
parking
requirements
again.
You
know
we
were
just
trying
to
satisfy
the
concerns
of
the
neighborhood
of
providing
more
parking
that
wouldn't
be
impacted
by
any
of
the
other
parking
cars
itself.
AK
BA
A
AE
Mean
if
we
were
going
to
reduce
the
the
sparking
again,
you
know
I
can
just
allude
to
going
through
an
extensive
Community
process
that
we
were
at
this
for
well
approximately
about
two
years
in
total
of
a
process,
and
if
we
were
to
reduce
the
actual
parking.
AE
You
know
at
this
point
again,
that's
going
to
create
another
violation.
It
would
go
through
another.
You
know
Community
process
and
then
having
to
come
back
to
the
board
again
on
that.
On
that
instance,
you
know
I'm
not
quite
sure
if
we
could
work
out
some
sort
of
parking
scheme
you
know
after
if,
if
in
fact,
this
is
approved
without
reducing
it.
H
I'm
Madam
chair,
you
know
if
there's
going
to
be
a
new
zoning
violation.
You
know
you
know.
The
extent
of
the
board
hasn't
I
understand
that
the
board
is
contemplating
now
that
it
might
want.
W
H
Grant
that
relief,
but
that
relief
is
not
in
front
of
the
board
to
Grant
at
the
moment.
So
you
know,
ISD
is
going
to
review
a
new
plan
set
that
doesn't
have
sufficient
parking
where
this
one
does
then
they're
probably
going
to
refuse
it
again
and
send
it
back
to
the
zoning
board
for
another
hearing
for
that
relief.
X
A
AE
A
AE
A
AG
Madam,
chair
I
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
to
deny
without
prejudice.
You
know
these
are
three
parcels
on
on
a
sub-district
zoning
sub-district
of
2f
5000
I
can
see
you
know.
Six
would
be
in
alignment
with
with
the
zoning.
AG
AG
Z
T
Too
late
or
did
I
miss
did
we
have
any
opposition
from
Butters
or
anything
like
that.
A
I
I
all
the
testimony
I
believe
Jessica.
You,
you
announced
right.

In
case
anyone
had
noticed
the
final
case
of
the
day,
boa
137
4702,
with
an
address
of
110r
Clayton
Road.
CD
Yes,
I'm
sorry
Mr,
designing
group,
he
couldn't
be
here
today,
he's
traveling,
so
I
guess
I
had
to
do
it
myself,
I
upload
the
new
design
that
he
did
so
he
makes
the
right
measuring
and
what
effects
that,
because
he
was
missing
some
measuring,
so
he
steps
that
they
broke
down.
Let
me
see.
CD
Is
wrong?
I,
no
I,
upload
of
one
I
guess
was
Monday
when
he
sent
it
to
me
so
I
uploaded
last
week.
So.
F
AG
Was
just
going
to
state
that
what
I
have
in
front
of
me
is
the
30
page
package
and
and
I
think
the
best
drawings
are
probably
the
site
plan,
which
is
a
another
which
is
the
first
sheet
and
it's
a
pretty
straightforward
project
that
proposes
a
prefab
for
a
garage.
AG
X
L
CD
Thank
you.
Yes,
it
is
a
brief,
fabricate
garage,
that's
what
they
send
me.
So
that's
what
I
I
uploaded
so
I
don't
have
anything
else.

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
Danielle
Fonseca,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
I,
hosted
in
a
Butters
meeting
for
this
proposal
on
October
11th
of
2022
and
at
the
abutters
meeting.
All
of
the
abutters
that
were
present
were
in
support
of
this
project.
We've
received
no
letters
of
opposition
or
support
outside
of
that
of
Butters
meeting.
So
at
this
time
we
wish
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
AM

A

All
right,
the
chair
votes,
yes
motion
carries.
Thank
you
all
for
putting
up
with
all
these
technical
difficulties
today,
I
think
we
did
great.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
