D
A
Acting
chair
I
mean
acting
architect
again,
mr
ridge.
Here
we
go
mr
rogerio.
A
Miss
dong
present
okay,
mr
devoe
good
morning,
madam
chair
good
morning,
checking
one
more
time
for
mr
ligras.
A
Okay
and
checking
in
to
see
about
mr
hampton
from
the
bpda
all.
H
H
I
I
Correct
the
first
extension
was
requested
and
granted
just
before
the
current
covet
19
outbreak.
At
that
point,
we
were
looking
for
more
time
to
work
with
the
parks
department
and
finalize
bpda
design,
review
and
financing.
I
can
report
that
since
this
time,
despite
the
challenges
of
covet
19,
the
client
has
secured
financing.
I
Just
in
march,
we
got
the
bpda
ok
for
design
review
and
they
are
now
producing
the
construction
drawings
that
are
required
to
get
signature
and
we've
been
asked
to
return
to
the
parks
department
for
another
hearing
based
on
the
revised
plans
and
the
final
sign
off
by
the
bpda.
J
H
I
A
And
again,
this
is
the
second
extension.
Can
you
tell
us
what
progress
has
been
made
since
the
last
one.
I
Yeah,
so
this
the
timing
is
near
identical,
but
the
project
is
obviously
very
different
and
impacted
by
covet
in
the
sense
that
it's
a
159
room,
hotel
project
boston's
hotel
market
has
been
decimated
more
so
than
other
parts
of
the
country.
During
the
pandemic
we
get
an
extension.
It
was
read
into
the
record
last
year
that
was
requested
before
the
pandemic.
I
At
that
point,
we
had
a
commitment
for
financing.
We
were
working
on
design
review
with
the
bpda.
After
that
time,
financing
for
hotel
projects
has
basically
completely
frozen.
The
client
has
still
been
working
towards
its
construction
drawings,
which
are
almost
finalized,
and
we
actually
are
getting
good
indications
from
financing.
Now
that
the
hotel
market
is
starting
to
show
some
promises.
I
H
You
calling
the
next
case
calling
voa
791-475-8
dorset
street
madam
chair
this
decision
to
expire
on
september,
28
2020.
This
would
be
their
first
extension
for
granted
payment
address
for
the
record.
Please.
K
Second,
he's
on
you've
been
on
muted
garfield,
go
ahead.
A
So
this
relief
that
we
granted
to
you
expired
in
september.
Why
are
you
here
now
in
in
in
april.
F
Madam
chair
kevin
o'connor
just
a
point
of
clarification,
although
this
administratively
the
expiration
date
was
september
28th
of
2020,
the
relief
would
be
told
by
the
acts
of
2020.
L
H
Calling
the
next
case
calling
voa
578,
7665
jackson
avenue.
Madam
chairs,
this
was
a
court
case.
I
don't
have
the
exact
dates,
but
the
period
court
dated
january
30th
2020
with
the
decision
just
for
the
record.
Please.
M
M
A
However,
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
these
projects,
just
the
approvals
just
don't
sit
around
so
just
pay
attention
to
your
dates,
please,
so
that
we
can
bring
closure
to
this.
Yes,.
A
N
A
H
A
Yeah,
so
let's
make
it
from
a
year
from
today,
but
please
don't
depend
too
much
on
our
generosity.
Okay
in
the
future.
O
A
A
A
Second,
that
one
second,
all
those
in
favor
all
right,
all
the
any
opposed
motion
carries
I
just
I
just
heard
from
mr
legris.
Is
he
on.
P
H
Q
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
marantz,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
west
broadway
in
south
watson.
Madam
chair
members,
this
matter,
which
is
a
companion
cases,
was,
as
mr
fortune
pointed
out,
extended
by
the
board
a
year
ago,
essentially
during
the
height
of
the
pandemic,
my
client
is
just
about
ready
to
begin.
In
fact,
he
had
national
grid
on
site
on
april
15th
to
begin.
J
H
S
Yes,
iv,
59
west
walnut
park.
A
So
tell
me:
have
you
made
progress
towards
getting
this
construction
done.
S
H
T
As
your
honor,
I'm
sorry,
it
has
been
well.
Thank
you,
but
old
habits
it
has,
but
the
plans
have
been
submitted.
It's.
This
is
a
unique
situation.
Part
of
this
development
was
a
restaurant
on
the
first
floor
during
the
pandemic.
Obviously
they
didn't
want
to
cause
too
much
disruption
because
it
turned
from
you
know,
sit
down
to
totally
take
out
so.
A
H
U
I
am
just
wanted
to
let
you
know,
I'm
wearing
my
anthony
pizani.
Good
luck
bow
tie
this
morning
and
I
just
want
to
let
the
board
know
exactly
others
on
the
team
that
may
be
present
as
well
and
may
have
to
comment
the
developer
cameron,
zahidi
michelle
yen
from
his
office,
the
architect
stephen
chung,
and
my
colleagues
from
the
timothy
frazier
and
sadima
jones,
another
young
woman,
that
I'm
training
through
this
process.
U
I
am
before
you
this
morning,
because
this
is
a
department
of
neighborhood
development
project
and
my
client
was
prepared
before
this
board
on
december
9th
excuse
me
july,
9,
2019
and
the
variances
were
granted
at
that
time.
This
was
a
project
for
three
family
and
all
of
the
parking
is
all
the
same
as
it
exists
now.
U
But
during
the
discussions
with
the
department
of
neighborhood
development,
it
was
uncovered
that
there
was
substantial
environmental
costs
that
were
going
to
be
incurred.
So
through
the
negotiations
with
the
department
of
neighborhood
development,
it
was
agreed,
along
with
the
highland
park
association,
to
increase
the
units
to
four
units
on
this
particular
site.
U
A
Some
sorry,
mr
for
the
interruption,
but
can
you.
N
A
U
None
of
that
were
impacted,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
for
a
person
who
it
could
be
better
explain
that
more
accurately,
madam
chair,
I'm
going
to
ask
for
stephen
chung
to
unmute
himself.
He
is
the
architect
and
he
can
speak
to
that
issue.
V
My
name
is
stephen
chong
architects.
At
my
address,
38
davin
road
whalen
mass
zero
one,
seven,
seven,
eight.
A
V
V
Building
was
four
stories.
The
bottom
floor
was
parking
and
some
mechanical
and
and
part
of
the
duplex
for
the
unit.
Above
and
basically,
we
took
the
parking
outside
of
that
envelope,
put
it
outside
and
now
we're
using
that
formerly
garage
space
as
a
as
a
kind
of
one
bedroom
unit
or
ground
floor
unit.
X
V
V
That
unit
is
I'm
sorry.
I
have
a
pdf
right
now.
U
A
Thank
you.
How
are
the
plans
miss
mr
ellick.
D
Well,
because
it's
a
board
of
final
arbiter,
I
actually
hadn't
seen
the
plans,
I'm
just
looking
at
them
right
now,
mr
chung,
it
looks
from
this
elevation
as
if
the
grade
is
is
below.
Most
of
that,
most
of
that
unit
is
above
grade.
Is
that
correct?
That's
correct,
yeah,
okay,
that
would
be
my.
That
would
be
my
only
issue
and
based
on
the
drawing
that's
in
front
of
us.
I
think
the
drawings
are
adequate.
U
Madam
chair,
before
you
have
a
motion
on
that,
can
I
get
just
have
one
more
comment
or
you
know
two
more
comments.
One
is
this
is
going
to
be
energy
plus
home
program
for
one
and
the
other
thing,
would
it
be
appropriate
at
this
time
being
that
the
this
negotiations
create
with
the
department
of
native
development
has
activated?
My
client
began
anything
with
regards
to
the
construction
of
this
project
and,
as
I
mentioned,
the
hearing
was
on.
They
were
before
this
board
on
july,
9th
2019..
A
I
was
wondering
if
you'd
go
there.
Let
me
just
ask
kevin:
does
this
need
to
be
advertised
for
the
extension
or
can
this
be
accomplished?
At
the
same
time,.
F
Yeah
I
mean
the
notice
that
we
would
provide
would
be
with
respect
to
the
open
meeting
law
and
we
haven't
noticed
it
for
that
purpose
under
the
open
meeting
law.
So
I
it
might
be
appropriate
for
mr
piecer
to
request
separately
just
to
make
sure
that
we
are
covered
from
a
notice
perspective
and
we
can
get
it
on
a
upcoming
agenda.
A
Y
U
Thank
you
very
much,
madam

members
of
the

R
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lin's
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
peter
keane
madam
chair,
this
project
was
approved
by
the
board
back
at
the
end
of
2018,
I
believe
early
2019.
R
It
involved
a
renovation
of
an
existing
two-family
dwelling,
as
well
as
the
proposed
construction
of
a
new
three-family
dwelling.
Each
of
these
lots
are
held
in
common
ownership
and
the
project
was
intended
to
be
to
to
be
managed
as
a
single
condominium
association.
With
a
total
of
six
units.
I
see
the
plan.
A
R
Was
not,
it
was
bpd
a
design
review
only
we've
concluded
bpd
design
review.
The
plans
that
are
before
the
board
this
morning
do
include
the
bpd
design
review
stamp.
If
I
could
ask
the
host
to
just
move
down
to
the
elevation,
I
can
show
sort
of
the
front
approach
the
building
so
that
we
can
understand
what
what
is
involved
here-
and
I
I
understand.
D
Yeah,
so
here's
the
situation,
which
is
this
there's
it's
identified
as
a
building
code
violation
because
of
the
issue
of
the
party
walls.
On
the
other
hand,
they
have
taken
all
of
the
various
measures
that
are
required
in
order
to
make
it
from
my
perspective,
code
compliant,
and
I
double
checked
with
a
real
architect.
So
it
wouldn't
be
just
the
acting
architect
saying
this
and
we
both
agree.
D
So
it's
sort
of
a
chicken
and
egg,
because
if
it's
now
code
compliant
as
a
result
of
violating
the
code,
then
they
don't
need
building
code
relief.
So
what
we
have
done
in
the
past
with
that-
and
I
that
my
inclination
would
be
the
same-
is
to
deny
the
building
code
relief
and
if
and
if
it
becomes
still
becomes
an
issue
with
the
billing
department.
So
they
can
go
to
the
state
board
and
and
get
relief
there,
which
I
think
is
more
appropriate.
A
C
H
H
H
A
AC
AC
Essentially,
we
had
the
project
which
we
were
putting
a
bathroom
off
the
back
with
the
bedroom,
and
we
realized
that
as
we're
getting
older,
my
wife
and
I
we
wanted
to
go
from
14
feet
to
16
feet.
Make
it
a
little
bit
wider,
so
it'd
be
a
little
bit
more
comfortable
and
then,
when
we
decided
that
we
figured
that
if
we
just
raised
the
roof
in
in
in
one
of
the
bedrooms
to
the
proper
eight
foot
level,
it
would
give
much
better
circulation.
And
it
just
seemed
to
make
a
lot
of
sense.
AC
A
Hold
on
like,
have
you
seen
the
plans.
D
No,
no,
no!
I
have
not,
but
I'm
looking
at,
if
you
could
scroll
down
on
the
plans
on
the
screen.
H
H
R
A
A
H
Hearing
none
I'll
call
the
first
case
calling
doa
116
6809
6-8
st
andrew
road.
This
is
a
renovation
of
the
existing
red
deck
extending
deck
to
the
upper
floor,
an
induction
in
addition
of
an
egress
stair,
an
extension
of
a
first
floor
portion
of
the
deck,
the
renovation
of
the
rear
basement
access
there.
The
violations
article
2017.
H
E
AD
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
matt
eckel,
with
drago
and
toscano,
with
the
business
address
of
11
beacon
street,
as
mentioned
we're
seeking
to
erect
a
rear,
stairwell
a
third
story,
a
third
floor,
rear
deck
and
extend
the
existing
first
floor
deck
around
the
side.
As
you
can
see
on
the
plans
there
on
the
right
side,
the
side
deck
addition
is
approximately
12
feet
by
20
feet.
There
is
parking
that
is
accessed
on
an
existing
driveway,
but
that
will
not
be
affected
by
this
proposal.
AD
The
driveway
ends
before
the
deck
that
we're
proposing
to
extend
would
meet
in
terms
of
violations
that
were
meant
to
mention.
We
do
have
a
side
yard
violation
required
is
seven
with
the
proposal.
We
would
go
from
15
to
about
6.2,
so
just
slightly
under,
what's
required,
rear
yard,
you
required
35
with
the
shallow
lot
exception.
AD
X
Morning,
madam
chair
of
members
of
the
board,
lena
tramelli,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
will
go.
We
would
like
to
go
on
the
recording
support
for
this

The

like
to
go
on

to
support
the
neighborhood
is
in
support
of
creating
more
affordable

for
the

and
they
have

Good
morning
marango
the
members
of
the
war
anna
calderon
from
councillor
fling's
office,
the
counselor
would
like
to
wrong
recurring
support
based
on
feedback
from
neighbors
and
civic
associations
who
indicated
no
concerns
regarding
the
use
of
the
unit
did,
however,
highlight
concerns
regarding
affordability,
so
we
asked
the
proponent
to
continue
to
work
closely
with
the
community
on
that
issue
as
well.
Thank
you.
AF
A
A
No
okay,
we
have
this
information.
May
I
have
a
motion.
P
D
I
think
they're
getting
fussy,
there's
re-pointing
and
window
replacement,
but
if
they
want
it,
they
can
have
it.
But.
A
H
T
Good
afternoon
I
mean
good
morning
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
john
palgini
10
12,
the
road
braintree.
A
T
Got
his
volume?
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
here
on
30
chestnut
street
with
me
today
is
dave
creed,
who's,
the
team
architect,
together
with
ty
gupta,
who
is
the
owner
developer?
The
proposal
is
to
extend
the
fifth
floor,
penthouse
two
feet
on
either
side
to
bring
the
building
flush
with
the
party's
wall
and
the
adjacent
buildings.
T
T
The
only
violation
is
a
minor
increase
in
far
because
we're
adding
only
77
square
feet
of
additional
far
the
unit
sizes
unit.
One.
A
So
tell
us
what's
required
and
what
what's
what
this,
what
this
77
square
feet
will
bring
you
up
to.
T
Sure
so
looks
as
though
right
you.
This
is
the
whole
neighborhood
that
zoned
to
the
2far.
The
existing.
Far
on
this
building
is
a
262,
and
with
this
77
foot
change,
it
would
just
be
a
2.65.
A
Okay
and
there's
no
occupancy
in
the
basement
or
is
there.
D
The
plans
are
good,
actually,
the
the
current
existing
loft
is
kind
of
odd,
looking
on
on
a
house
like
this
and
what
they've
done
by
extending
it
and
adding
windows
and
railing
as
they
made
it,
look
more
in
keeping
with
the
rest
of
the
the
buildings
that
building
and
the
other
structure.
So
the
plans
are
fine.
AL
I
attended
avery
with
counselor
box
office.
I
had
comments
to
add
noting
the
opposition
of
the
beacon
hill
civic
association
council.
Black
would
like
to
go
on
record
of
opposition
for
this
applicant's
proposal
to
expand
the
fifth
floor
left.
Thank
you.

go
first,

you've
been
on

Can
you
state
your

Please.
AM
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me
okay?
Yes,
thank
you.
My

am
an

the

I
represent
linda
schubert,
bobman
of
24
chestnut
street.
She
is
three
doors
down
from
from
their
chestnut
possibilities.
AM
The
opposition
relates
to
the
fact
that
the
fifth
this
they're
looking
to
expand
the
fifth
floor
of
roof
house.
It's
been
demolished,
it's
it
is
gone
and
there's
a
disagreement
about
the
original
size
and
dimensions
of
that
roof
house.
Fundamentally,
they
want
to
expand
this,
this
fifth
floor
structure,
but
they
they
tore
it
down
and
but.
A
AM
Let
me
just
say
this:
there's
a
prior
set
of
plans,
which
I
have
submitted
to
zda
by
email
that
was
prepared
by
two
associates
for
this
project
that
lists
the
relevant
existing
dimensions
for
the
length
of
the
north
and
south
walls
of
this
upper
floor.
That
is
now
gone
and
a
half
feet,
whereas
the
permit
set
lists
it
at
21.5
feet.
That
is
a
four
foot.
Linear
difference
and
the
the
permit
set
says
verify
and.
A
AN
I'm
adam
george:
she
needs
to
tell
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
This
proposal
did
complete,
however,
abundance
did
have
concerns
and
the
beacon
health
civic
association
did
vote
adamantly
in
opposition
of
this
proposal.
So
at
this
time
we
cannot
support
this
proposal.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AB
My
name
is
laura
basha,
I'm
with
thornton
thomasetti
at
27
wormwood
street,
I'm
representing
john
glassberg,
I'm
a
civil
engineer.
John
blasberg
is
at
28
chestnut
street
director
butter
and
shares
a
party
wall
with
this
proposal.
We
are
in
opposition
to
this
proposal.
Pending
some
questions,
the
new
penthouse
is
going
to
increase
the
loads
on
the
party
wall.
We
request,
since
this
is
potentially
a
substantial
load
change
that
calculation
packages
are
submitted.
AB
Okay.
So
let
me.
A
Just
ask
beyond
the
the
the
loads
which
which
is
substantial,
which
is
which
is
a
a
totally
important
issue.
Is
there
a
conceptual
opposition
to
the
addition
of
77
square
feet.
AB
A
K
Okay,
john,
you
john
you've
been
a
muted.
A
My
question
to
you
is
beyond
the
load
issue:
do
you
have
conceptual
issues
concerned
about
the
addition
of
77
square
feet.
O
A
Loads
as
well,
thank
you
thank
you,
miss
ambassador,
may
I
have
one
more
person
sure.
AO
Me,
yes,
yes,
please
go
ahead:
okay,
yes
sandy
steele
and
I'm
at
60,
west
cedar
street,
I'm
a
member
of
the
zoning
and
licensing
board
which
firmly
voted
against
an
expansion,
and
I
can
assure
the
proponent
that
we
would
vote
against
a
total
replacement
of.
I
believe
it's
important
that
we
keep
our
zoning
in
in
situ
and
I
believe
that
the
only
motivation
for
this
person
is
money
and
that
is
not
acceptable.
A
A
So
the
bpd
pda
recommends
approval
with,
of
course,
the
proviso
for
the
the
architectural
commission.
Okay,.
D
I'm
aware
that
this
this
would
go
before
the
beacon
hill,
architectural
commission,
but
given
that
there's
other
than
the
proponent
that
there's
no
support
for
this,
it's
a
little
hard,
even
though
from
a
design
perspective,
it
actually
looks
better.
I
think,
but
but
I
guess
the
existing
drawings
don't
reflect
what
is
in
fact
existing
if
it's
been
torn
down,
so
I
would
make
a
motion
to
deny
without
prejudice
and
sounds
like
they
have
some
homework
to
do.
D
H
AR
A
D
A
Okay,
so
this
is,
is
this
seven
is
wait
the
so
let
me
see
you
are
looking
for
this,
so
you're.
Looking
for
an
addition
to
the
right
rear
of
the
building,
can
you
tell
us
how
we
are
going
to
meet
the
ceiling
requirement.
AS
In
the
basement,
wheelchair,
yes,
it
is
a
drop
ceiling
in
the
basement
currently
and
I
believe
stealing
percentage-wise
does
remain
weak
requirements.
D
Okay
say
that
again
that
doesn't
make
any
sense.
It
says
on
the
drawings
that
it's
six
foot,
eight.
AS
It's
648,
it's
a
drop
ceiling.
Currently
we
plan
on
removing
the
drop
ceiling
and
then
there
are
mechanicals
there
that
will
be
relocated,
but
I
believe
more
than
50
of
the
ceiling
in
the
basement
is
at
seven
feet.
W
AI
AI
AF
A
I
mean
this
seems
like
a
de
minimis
project.
May
I
have
a
motion
please.
AR

next

I'm

sorry,

from
the

Okay,
is
that
violation
taken
out,
so
there's
only
two
violations
correct
mr
fortune.
Thank
you
sorry
about
that
name
and
address
to
the
record.
Please.
Q
Q
The
initially
cited
violation,
front
yard
setback
has
been
removed.
The
proposed
front
porches,
which
created
that
violation
have
been
removed,
which
is
reflected
on
the
set
of
plans
before
the
board.
Today.
This
is
an
application
for
a
new
two-family
dwelling
located
at
25
doris
street,
which
is
a
3fd
3000
zoning
district.
Q
The
violations
are
attributable
to
the
fact
that
the
minimum
lot
size
in
the
subject.
Zoning
sub
district
is
3
000
square
feet.
The
lot
in
question
is
2
210
square
feet.
Madam
chair
members,
this
lot
is
a
part
of
a
subdivision
of
eight
lots
where
six
of
the
lots
are
in
fact
34
feet
by
65
feet,
which
are
the
dimensions
of
this
slot.
One
is
65
feet
by
31
feet
wide.
The
other
one
is
31
feet
wide
by
about
55
feet
deep.
So
this
is
entirely.
Q
This
this
has
been
a
standalone
lot
since
it
the
early
20th
century.
So
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
this
project
because
there
was
an
application
from
1913
or
something
to
build.
These.
Q
No,
it's
a
good
point.
Yeah
the
subdivision
wasn't
created
for
the
project,
so
the
only
violation
is
in
fact
a
lot
size.
As
I
said,
the
lot
size
is
typical
of
the
neighborhood.
There
are
two
units
it's
ground
floor
is
a
two-car
garage
access
is
by
means
of
an
existing
curb
cut
on
dorset
street
dorset.
Q
I'm
sorry,
doris's
sprays,
doris
street,
is
a
one-way
leading
down
pass
the
property
on
to
dorchester
avenue,
there's
also
a
hydrant
next
to
the
the
exit
from
the
garage,
which
means
that
there's
no
parking
you
know
for
maybe
15
feet
to
the
left
of
the
garage
which
would
assist
with
any
vehicles
getting
out,
but
there's
plenty
of
maneuverability
room.
A
So,
mr
mr
morenzy
question
this
isn't
a
3fd
which,
which
basically
thinks
that
this
should
be
have
the
look
of
a
triple
decker,
tell
us
about
what
the
street
looks
like
and
how
this
is
going
to
be
contextual,.
G
N
AT
Q
Us,
I
am
sorry
this
is
george
marancy,
I'm
back,
we
had
a
power
surge
or
something
I'm
sorry
and
I
became
disconnected.
Can
everyone
hear
me
now.
A
Yes,
so
the
question
is
that
you
know
this.
This
zoning
three
3fd
suggests
that
the
the
look
of
the
street
is
a
is
a
triple
decker,
which
was
confirmed
by
a
google
look.
So
can
you
tell
us
how
this
conforms
with
that
the
building
form.
AU
Q
My
clients
initially
attended
to
replicate
the
look
of
other
of
the
three
deckers
on
the
street
by
having
the
front
porches,
which
is
a
prevalent
design
aspect
of
other
buildings,
but
that
created
a
front
yard
setback
violation
and
they
wanted
to
minimize
the
violations.
Q
But
it
is
consistent
with
3fd
zoning,
except
for
the
fact
that
it's
a
two
family
rather
than
a
three
family.
As
I
said,
the
violation
is
tell.
Q
The
garage
is
for
two
vehicles,
access
would
be
provided.
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
know
when
I
was
cut
off,
because
I
I
guess
I
was
speaking
and
nobody
could.
I
was
disconnected.
The
garage
is
a
two-car
garage
with
maneuverability
room
in
the
front.
It's
accessed
via
an
existing,
curb
cut
on
on
doris
streets.
A
Okay,
how
are
the
plans
mr
erlick.
Q
Yeah,
it's
worth
speaking
about
mr
ehrlich,
and
I
I
became
involved
in
this
project
after
the
plans
had
been
developed
and
it's
something
that
I
flagged
with
my
clients
at
the
time-
and
I
pointed
out
that
were
the
board
to
entertain
approving
this,
that
during
design
review
that
the
garage
door
would
need
to
be
reduced
in
width
and
redesigned.
Q
D
You,
and
also
I
can't
tell
from
the
plants
what
is
the
the
it's:
an
existing
curb
cut
correct.
What
is
it
with
that.
Q
Is
correct
from
the
google
street
view
it
appears
to
be
it's
10
feet.
It
might
be
a
bit
wider,
it
might
be
11
feet,
but
it's
an
ancient
curb
cut,
but
obviously
I
can
make
sure
that
it's
fully,
in
conformance
with
current
btd
guidelines.
Okay,.
N
E
Here,
yeah.
Q
And
my
clients
are
attempting
to
minimize
the
violations,
because
I
think,
as
the
board
will
hear
there
is,
there
is
some
opposition
from
from
neighbors,
and
some
of
it
is
based
upon
privacy
concerns
and
my
clients
eliminated
those
front
porches.
In
response
to
some
of
the
concerns
that
were
expressed.
Okay.
AV
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
patrick
fandale,
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
there
was
an
abutters
meeting
held
on
march
29th
of
this
year
to
discuss
this
proposal.
The
applicant
has
also
conducted
outreach
to
the
columbia,
saving
hill
civic
association
based
on
feedback
from
the
butters.
The
plans
have
been
updated
to
reflect
a
reduction
in
unit
count
from
four
to
two
units,
with
off-street
parking
and
increased
open
space
in
the
removal
of
the
front
decks
to
increase
privacy
concerns.
AV
There
are
multiple
letters
of
support
and
opposition
from
direct
butters
and
stakeholders
on
filed
with
the
board.
Currently,
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal,
but
ask
that,
if
approved,
continued,
bpd
bpda
design
review
be
completed
and
that
the
applicant
continued
to
outreach
to
direct
to
butters.
Thank
you.

The
the
proponents
still
reach
out
to
the
abutters,
like
patrick,
had
said.

you.

My

1087
for
about
28
years
owner
occupied
the
neighbors
do
not
support
this
project.
We've
submitted
over
50
signatures
from
people
within
550
square
feet
of
the
project.
Our
back
deck
is
our
only
open
space,
and
this
building
will
take
away
the
use
of
that.
We
went
to
the
association
meeting.
A
vote
was
not
taken
by
the
association
so.
A
Let
me
just
ask
you:
this
is
an
undersized
lot.
It
is
it's
been
around.
You
know
for
a
hundred
years,
so
somebody
does
have
a
right
to
build
on
on
a
vacant
lot
unless
the
neighborhood
buys
the
lot
and
does
what
it
what
it
wants
with
this.
But
this
isn't
private
ownership.
A
It
looks
like
the
the
violations
are
minimal
and
I'm
looking
at
the
information
that
is
before
me
and
it
only
the
only
violation
is
that
in
fact
it's
the
lot
size
is
insufficient
and
the
lot
size
for
the
additional
dwelling
unit
isn't
sufficient,
but
there's
no
side
yard,
there's
no
rear
yard
and
there's
no
front
yard
violation.
AY
A
Building
the
lot
size
could
not
change
it's
it's
it's
a
given,
so
I
guess
the
question
is
the
decision
is
from
the
development
from
the
developer
is
if
it's
a
one
family
dwelling
or
a
two
family
dwelling,
because
the
violations
are
pretty
much
going
to
be
the
same.
A
AY
The
there's
opposition,
not
only
because
of
how
it
affects
us
as
a
director
butters,
but
the
parking
situation
on
the
street
is
just
out
of
control.
We
are
a
very
short
street
there's
only
five
units
on
the
side
of
doris.
The
applicant
owns
the
building
and
abuts
his
own
lot,
and
he
has
tenants
that
use
that
space
for
parking.
That
is
the
only
use
that
space
has
ever
had
the
garage
is
there
and
it
accommodates
his
build.
Thank.
A
You
thank
you
I
I
understand
now
anybody
else
miss
ambassador
you're,
evan.
A
Okay,
thank
you
any
one
more
person,
please.
BA
Hi
me
and
kayla
at
27
door
street.
I
just
want
to
say
my
whole
thing
with
this.
Is
you
know,
they're
good
landlords
they're
been
great
to
everyone.
BA
A
BA
A
Okay,
so,
given
that
information,
mr
morenzy,
so
I
guess
the
bottom
line
is
that
the
concern
is
that
this
lot
has
been
used
for
parking
for
in
a
budding
lot
and
there's
concern
about
displacement
of
those
vehicles
on
the
street.
Q
Not
not
officially
managed
here.
My
client
actually
uses
this
laws.
He
has
construction
business
on
the
google
street
view.
You
can
see
the
sign
on
the
garages
he
store
used
to
go,
use
the
garages
with
storage
of
construction,
material
and
and
and
the
such,
and,
as
you
can
see,
I
mean
much
of
this
slot
is
paved
over.
I
mean
sorry,
it's
not
paved.
It's
grass,
it's
it's
not
set
up
for
parking
vehicles
are
occasionally
in
and
out
in
terms
of
the
the
density.
Q
I
would
point
out
that
of
the
adjacent
buildings
and
other
buildings
in
the
area
from
2023,
treadway,
21,

everything
else
on

BD
Good
morning
my
name
is
eliza
datta,
I'm
an
affordable
housing
developer.
My
company
is
e3
development
and
address
is
40,
homer
street
newton
mass.
I
am
partnering
with
heading
home.
The
applicant
for
the
37
whale
street
project
heading
home
is
a
boston-based
non-profit
that
provides
housing
and
services
to
homeless
individuals
and
families.
BD
I'm
here
today
with
danielle
ferrier,
ceo
of
heading
home
and
representatives
of
studio
g,
architects
and
dla
piper.
The
project
before
you
today
would
redevelop
the
property
at
37
wales
street,
which
heading
home
acquired
in
2011
but
is
no
longer
occupiable
due
to
structural
issues
with
the
existing
apartment
building
and
the
site
retaining
walls.
A
So
let
me
just
ask
you:
was
the
existing
building
used
and
permitted
as
permanent
housing
and
how
many
units
was
there
were
there
in
the
in
the
in
the
current
building.
BE
A
Okay-
and
this
is
for
permanent
permanent
housing,
then
it's
not
temporary
on
the
way
to
permanent,
then
yeah.
BD
A
Okay,
okay
and
tell
us
about
the
let's
see
the
far
the
excessive
open
space.
Can
you
tell
us
about
the
off
street
parking
and
loading?
Are
you
providing
any
any
parking
and
loading.
Z
BF
Yes,
I
could
wait
if
I
could
win
danielle
farrier
heading
home,
madame
chairman
board,
our
our
folks
are
extremely
low
income.
It
is
a
permanent
support
of
housing
residents,
which
is
what
it
has
been
under
our
ownership
the
entire
time.
So
a
large
portion
of
our
folks
are
disabled
in
a
variety
of
disabilities
and
some
work
and
some
do
not
most
do
not
have
cars,
and
so
parking
is
not
as
as
relevant
an
issue
for
this
population.
D
The
drawings
are
fine,
it's
a
pretty
big
expansion
of
an
existing.
What
what
is
the
will?
The
height
of
this
proposal
be
the
same.
I'm
looking
at
google
maps
will
the
height
of
this
be
the
same
as
the
building
to
the
right
or
different.

BK
Morning,
lewis,
dodson
45
wales
street
direct
to
butter
item
opposition
to
the
proposal.
There
is
currently
no
parking
on
wheel
street.
Both
sides
are
being
used
for
parking,
the
the
housing
that
was
there.
It
was
10
units.
The
parking
lot
was
continually
full.
Every
occupant
had
had
an
automobile
so
to
say
that
you're
going
to
go
from
10
to
23
and
there's
not
going
to
be
an
increase
when
you
had
parking
before
and
it
was
a
problem.
BK
If
you
checked
the
police
records
the
time
that
they've
been
ownership,
they've
been
over
100
complaints,
motor
vehicle
complaints
on
that
property
to
this
to
so
to
insist
that
you're
going
to
go
from
10
units
to
23
and
there's
not
going
to
be
impact
in
parking
with
no
off
street
parking.
One
person
there
40
hours
in
one
spot,
for
that
person
is
ridiculous
and
ludicrous.
The
entire
community
is
against
all
the
abutters
are
against
it.
They're
trying
to
shove
this
down
throat
from
10
to
23
on
that
little
little
lot
is
crazy.
BK
A
Let
me
ask
you,
sir,
so
your
you,
your
your
observation
is
that
that
when
there
were
10
units
on
the
site
that
a
lot
of
the
that
the
park
parking
lot
was
full
and
it
was
filled
by
the
residents
of
those
units.
BK
BL
Really
abbott
street
I'm.
Actually,
my
property
is
actually
the
property,
that's
separated
from
the
garage
into
the
backyard
of
that
property
and,
alongside
with
dijon
redrick
at
28,
his
garage
damage
from
the
water
damage
doesn't
actually
come
down
from
from
that
property
and
also
to
my
go
as
well
too.
It
has
been
an
issue.
I've
been
there
over
30
years,
all
my
life,
my
family,
that
parking
lot
and
the
family
it
as
the
it's
just
been
ridiculously
always
forward
cause
tennis
always
had
vehicles
there.
So
it's
also.
BL
It's
been
a
concern
to
me
why
they
went
from
10
units
to
23
units
it
it
doesn't
make
any
sense
at
all.
There
will
be
no
playground
for
the
for
the
kids.
It
will
be
no
parking
for
the
tenants,
I'm
on
abbott
street,
and
I
get
a
load
of
residents
from
wales
street.
That's
actually
coming
over
from
my
side
to
park.
So
now
it
would
be.
A
Even
worse,
thank
you
thank
you.
So
let
me
ask
the
applicant.
It
sounds
like
this
is
an
issue
that
has
there's
two
issues
that
have
not
been
resolved.
A
BD
Sure
sure,
so,
with
regard
to
the
the
size
of
the
project,
the
the
23
units
allows
heading
home
to
get
to
a
scale
and
a
level
of
efficiencies
that
works
from
a
financing
perspective
and
from
the
support
service
perspective
and
will
promote
kind
of
the
ongoing
sustainability
of
operations
with
the
project.
So
that's
very
important
to
the
organization
with
regard
to
parking,
the
existing
building
does
have
surface
parking
behind
the
building.
BD
Our
structural
engineer
has
advised
us
that
that
is
part
of
the
issue
that
has
contributed
to
the
the
failure
of
the
retaining
wall
at
the
back
of
the
site,
and
so
we
we
explored
other
potential
options
for
parking,
but
they
were
too
costly,
given
that
this
is
deeply
affordable.
Housing.
A
Okay,
you
know
the
the
role
that
we
have
to
play
is
understanding
the
the
the
requirements
that
heading
home
as
one
of
the
applicants
we
will
see
today
with
that
of
the
community.
May
I
have
a
motion
for
deferral
because
obviously
there
is.
There
are
issues
that
should
be
addressed
because
the
I
understand
the
view
of
the
applicant
about
the
efficiencies
of
scale,
but
there
will
be
long
term
impacts
on
the
residents
of
the
street,
with
with
the
high
number
of
parking
demand
added
to
the
streets.
D
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
deny,
without
prejudice
and
with,
in
the
hope
that
there
is
a
redesign
of
the
project
that
deals
with
some
of
the
issue
with
the
10
to
23
is
a
big
jump
that
deals
with
the
issue
of
density
and
sorts
out.
Some
of
the
issues
with
your.
E
A
So
that
was
joe
in
opposition.
Okay,
a
motion
carries.

Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
john
lydon
appearing
on
behalf
of
cruz
development
corporation
as
their
attorney.
My
office
address
is
512
galvan
boulevard,
suite
205
in
dorchester
massachusetts.
AJ
The
violations
are
as
noted.
The
first
is.
AJ
G
Okay,
sorry
this
this
zoning
came
about.
If
you
remember
way
back
when
the
empowerment
zone
yeah,
this
sony
came
for
that
because
the
empowerment
zone,
I
believe,
went
across
the
site.
A
AJ
Absolutely
I'd
be
glad
to
so.
The
this
project
was
originally
approved
in
2005
as
part
of
a
99
unit,
three
phase
development.
That
project
has
been
ongoing
ever
since,
and
the
structures
all
single
family
for
the
most
part
have
been
built
on
an
as
on
an
on-demand
basis.
They've
been
consistently
in
development
they've
been
consistent
construction.
The
original
variances
were
approved,
as
the
case
may
have
been
on
a
on
an
annual
or
a
bi-annual
basis
from
time
to
time.
Over
the
last
15
years,.
A
A
Okay,
yes,
because
we
are
used
to
seeing
mr
feaster
represent
these
projects.
How
are
the
plans,
mr
erlin.
D
The
drawings
are
fine,
they're,
consistent
with
the
other
units
on
that
parcel,
except
for
one
element
there,
the
basements
are
occupied
and
they
are.
If
you
look
at
g4.3,
if
you
look
at
wall
section
eggs,
they
are
five
foot
three.
The
basement
floor
is
five
foot
three
below
grade,
which
is
really
and
for
some
reason,
30.
Even
though
the
the
designs
are
relatively
identical.
31
has
a
bedroom
in
that
in
that
basement,
whereas
41
doesn't-
and
I
think
that's
that's
a
problem
but
other
than
that,
the
the
drawings
are
fine.
BH
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
don't
think
people
care
from
the
office
of
neighborhood
services,
and
we
would
like
to
go

of
this
proposal.
We
believe
this
application
will
bring
new
single-family
homes
to
the
neighborhood,
and
we
believe
this
is
a
great
condition
addition
to

members
of
the
board
attorney
nick
cizula
mcdermott,
quilting
miller,
28
state
street
in
boston.
I
apologize
for
my
voice
a
little
horse,
but
it
is
me
with
me
today
is
jennifer
engelhardt
from
the
broadway
company
who's,
the
property
owner
developer
and
mike
delafave
who's,
the
architect
from
roadie
architects.
BM
We
did
provide
a
presentation,
madam
chair.
It
doesn't
look
like
it
made
it
to
you
guys
up
on
the
screen,
so
I
apologize
looks
like
we're.
Looking
at
the
the
zoning
set,
but
1175
dodge
avenue
it's
on
the
co.
A
BM
Yes,
absolutely
and
we
apologize.
This
was
in
our
presentation,
but
again
it
doesn't
look
like
it
got
to
you
both
so
what's
being
proposed,
is
the
commercial
space
will
remain
on
the
ground
floor
in
the
basement
and
what's
being
proposed?
On
top?
Is
the
classic
kind
of
infill
project
of
a
three-story
vertical
residential
edition
with
nine
units,
the
nine
units
are
includes
six
two
bedroom
units
in
three
three
bedroom
units.
BM
The
six
two
bedroom
units
are
roughly
900
square
feet
on
average,
so
pretty
ample
size
and
the
three
three
bed
units
are
all
approximately
eleven
hundred
square
feet
inside
so
again,
a
very
ample
size
unit
and
talking
to
the
neighborhood
group,
columbia,
7,
health,
civic
association
and
other
folks
in
the
neighborhood.
The
the
what
we
heard
back
was
that
larger
size
units
not
cramming
in
studios
and
one
beds,
was
what
was
preferred.
Okay,.
AY
A
A
couple
of
questions
first
tell
us
about
the
parking,
and
second,
this
is
a
3d
3000..
So
again
the
building
form
looks
like
a
triple
decker.
Can
you
tell
us
how
how
this,
how
this
building
form
that's
being
proposed,
works
and
again
tell
us
about
the
parking
and
if
there
is
a
roof
deck
proposed.
BM
Yes
ma'am,
so
I
can
answer
there.
There
is
no
roof
deck
being
proposed.
That's
the
easy
one
right
mike
ella
fave,
that
that
is
correct,
yep,
so
that
so
first
the
first
easy
one.
Madam
chairs,
there's
no
roof
right
being
proposed.
Your
question
has
to
the
parking.
So
we
are,
you
know
severely
hampered
by
the
lot
in
terms
of
we're
repurposing
we're
not
you
know
we
we're
not
demolishing
the
existing
commercial
building
right.
We
want
to
use
that
as
a
best
practice.
It's
a
good!
It's
a
good
building.
BM
A
neat,
you
know,
needs
some
upgrades,
but
it's
in
good
shape.
We
don't
want
to
demolish
that
and
by
you
know,
by
using
and
repurposing
and
updating
that
existing
commercial
building,
we're
kind
of
hampered
by
the
lot
and
what
we
can
do
on
the
lot
in
terms
of
off
street
parking.
So
there
is
some
spaces
off
to
the
right
right-hand
side
that
we're
going
to
utilize.
BM
Specifically,
the
thought
here
is
to
utilize
one
of
those
spaces
as
a
flex,
space
for
the
commercial
space
and
then
residential
at
night,
but
we're
also
had
discussions
with
the
neighborhood
group
to
house
one
of
these
kind
of
shared
vehicle
spaces
only
for
the
building
which
have
become
more
and
more
prevalent
in
the
city,
and
so
we've
agreed
to
to
do
that
as
well.
BM
So
there
would
be
a
kind
of
shared
car
space,
but
only
for
the
building,
not
not
for
the
public
and
as
for
the
parking
too,
you
know
we
are
on
a
corner
lot.
We
are
within
literally
five
minutes
down
bay
street
of
the
savannah
mbta
station,
so.
BM
Yeah,
so
that's
a
good
question,
madam
chair,
I
mean
again
we're
a
little
hampered
by.
We
can't
really
do
a
triple
decker
here,
because
we're
we're
conserving
the
existing
commercial
building.
That's
there.
Now
we
are
a
corner
lot,
so
we're
not
in
the
middle
of
the
block.
That's
important
as
well
we're
also
in
the
grover's
corner
planning
study,
which
you
know
mike,
can
discuss
a
little
bit
more
in
the
design
review
aspect
of
that.
But
we
are
consistent
with
those
recommended
guidelines
of
that
planning
study.
BC
On
mr
eric.
D
The
plans
are
good,
a
couple
questions.
Yes,
sir,
the
the
retail
tenant
will
occupy
obviously
the
first
floor.
The
basement
elevation
on
a100
just
says
basement
tenant.
Does
that
mean
it's
storage
for
the
retail
or
will
reusable
space?
What
is
the
function
of
the
basement?.
BM
Yeah,
so
my
understanding,
mr
ehrlich,
is
that
that
would
be
a
separate
commercial
space
as
it
is
now.
Jennifer
from
the
property
group
could
answer
that
in
more
detail
or
maybe
mike,
but
that
would
not
be
storage.
It
would
be
a
separate
commercial
space.
D
BN
D
Right,
that's
what
I
that's
what
I
that's
what
I
assume
so
that
is.
BN
D
So
but
I
mean
so
there'll
be
commercial
space
on
both
floors.
BN
The
commercial
space
that's
in
the
basement
will
be
part
of
the
square
footage
of
the
street
level
space,
mainly
for
likely
storage
or
prep
space
for
that
tenant.
D
BN
D
Okay,
that
would
be
helpful
if
the
plan
is
to
show
an
electrical
room,
but
but
the
plans
are
good.
G
Madam
chad,
this
this
is
jeff
hampton
at
the
vpda,
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
this
this
stretch
of
dot
ad
in
context
for
you
it's
right
across
the
street.
So
this
is
a
very
small,
triple
decker
sub
district,
and
I
know
you
and
I
are
in
agreement
about
how
we
want
you
know
the
the
structures
to
look,
but
there
are
two
similar
types
of
uses
down:
the
block
that
have
commercial
on
the
first
floor
and
residential
above
it.
A
G
Yeah,
there
are
only
two
two
true
triple
deckers
in
this
zoning
district,
because
it
does
fronto
dot,
ave
and
most
of
the
property
in
that
section
of
dorchester
avenue
was
zoned
neighborhood
shopping.
With
the
exception
of
these
two
blocks,.
AV
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
patrick's
vandal
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services-
there
was
a
butters
meeting
held
for
this
on
march
8th
and
the
applicant
has
conducted
significant
outreach
to
the
columbia,
savin
hill
civic
association
and
received
their
support
for
this
proposal.
As
noted,
this
is
in
a
changing
portion
of
dorchester
avenue.
It's
right
down
the
street
from
dot
block.
AV

H
H
O'clock,
I'll
repeat
one
more
time:
the
11
o'clock
hearing,
I
need
deferrals
or
withdrawals.
H
This
is
a
change
mark
from
a
two
family
to
a
six
family
and
construct
a
rare
edition
to
extend
living
space
to
the
existing
structure,
providing
six

spaces,

H
BO
Thank
you
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
john
barry
from
the
law
office
of
john
d.
Barry
located
at
400,
granite,
avenue,
massachusetts,
the
architect
on
the
project.
The
architectural
firm
is
rca
llc
in
with
me
today
is
james,
christopher
principal
manager,
and
they
they're
located
at
1156
dorchester
avenue
in
dorchester
mass
as
well
as
was
just
right
into
the
record.
This
is
a
request
for
a
change
of
occupancy
from
a
two
family
to
a
six
family
residence
just
for
the
sense
of
context
for
the
board.
BO
BO
There
was
a
need
for
unanimous
vote
that
day
there
was
one
one
vote
in
opposition,
and
the
direction
of
the
board
at
that
time
was
to
try
to
scale
back
the
unit
count
and
some
square
footage
of
the
building
and
to
design
a
way.
At
that
time,
the
proposal
had
living
space
in
the
basement.
BO
BO
BO
Certainly
so
each
unit
is
a
three
bedroom.
The
only
thing
that
changes
is
there's
a
difference.
There
are
two
and
two
and
a
half
baths
basically
unit.
Two
is
a
two
and
a
half
bath
unit.
One
and
three
through
six,
are
all
two
baths.
BO
The
average
square
feet
units
three
through
six-
are
1336
square
feet
unit.
One
and
two
are.
BP
I
can
pick
that
up.
Madam
chia
unit
units
one
and
two
unit.
One
is
1628
square
feet.
That's
a
three
bed
two
bath
and
unit
two
is
a
1600
square
foot
unit.
A
So
please
talk
again
about
those
the
parking
size
and
maneuverability
and
the
location
of
the
main
entrance.
BP
Sure
so
the
the
we
are
maintaining
the
existing
building,
so
the
main
entrance
for
the
front
unit
will
be
off
of
the
existing
front
door
and
porch.
The
secondary
entrance
will
be
provided
down
a
walkway
to
the
rear
units,
so
those
rare
units,
their
side
door,
is
accessed
off
of
the
rear
of
the
existing
building
and
those
you
enter
into
a
common
stairwell
and
into
unit
one
at
grade
and
then
up
to
the
other
units
for
the
for
the
egress.
The
vehicle
parking
has
been
reduced
to
six
spots.
BP
At
the
request
of
the
community,
we
had
the
parking
along
the
edges
and
closer
to
the
rear
of
the
property.
At
the
request
of
the
abutters
and
the
fields
kona,
civic
association,
we
dropped
the
parking
from
nine
spaces
to
six
and
we
oriented
them
in
such
a
way
that
they
are
at
the
rear
of
the
cantilever
at
grade
and
have
created
16
feet
of
open
space.
D
Well,
I
recall
this
case
and
it's
certainly
better
than
six
units
as
opposed
to
eight.
It
still
starts
me:
it's
a
big
jump
from
two
to
six
and
it
take
the
the
structure
takes
up
almost
all
the
lot.
So
I
think
there's
an
issue
with
density,
a
couple
of
questions,
so
it's
advertised
on
the
agenda,
it's
nine
spaces,
but
I
only
see
six.
You
said
that
the
six
is
what
it,
mr
christopher,
that's
what
it
is.
That's.
BP
Correct
mr
ehrlich,
we
the
we
had
originally
proposed
nine
spaces
to
because
in
the
early
part
of
the
community
process,
parking
was
a
concern.
As
we
went
back
and
reduced
the
unit
count.
The
neighbors
requested
that,
due
to
its
proximity
to
the
train
station,
we
could
create
a
little
more
open
space
and
reduce
the
parking.
So
that
was
directly
a
request
of
the
community.
D
All
right,
all
right,
that's
fine!
So
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
on
that
and
this.
My
second
question
is
that
appears
from
the
drawings
there's
a
20-foot
curb
cut,
and
I'm
wondering
why
that
is.
D
BP
BP
I
can
I
can
provide
clarity
on
that,
but
that's
we're
not
modifying
the
existing
curb
cut.
No.
H
Maybe
madam
chair
bob
dimiku
has
spoken
on
this.
Would
you
like
me
to
put
that
into
the
rest?
Please?
Okay,
so
bob
has
spoke,
bob
demico
btd
on
23
acadia
street.
The
applicant
should
only
be
allowed
to
park
three
vehicles
in
maneuverability
the
rear
of
the
home,
and
they
should
be
parked
on
a
45
degree
angle,
to
allow
to
allow
the
safe
maneuverability.
Also,
the
curb
cut
should
be
between
10
and
12
feet
to
allow
the
convenient
entry
and
exit
and
comply
with
btd
regulations.

Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
daniel,
toscano
attorney
at
law,
I'm
located
at
one
state
street
boston
mass.
I
represent
the
owner
of
37
river
street
scott
dabney
who's
on
the
call
with
us
today
also
I'd
like
to
introduce
ryan
sprague
from
embark.
Who
was
the
architect
on
this
property?
BR
So,
madam
chairman
of
the
board,
was
seeking
our
approval
to
this
is
an
empty
lot
located
in
the
2f
6
000
sub
district,
it's
in
matapian,
it's
at
the
corner
of
river
street
and
on
morton
street
and
we'd
like
to
erect
a
three-story
building
for
seven
condominium
units.
Madam
chair,
we
also
we
want
to
have
12
parking
spots
at
this
location,
so
we
meet
the
parking
requirement
and
this
sub
district.
BR
The
unit
sizes
will
be
on
the
first
floor
is
a
one-bedroom
condominium,
which
is
780
square
feet
and
we're
going
to
dedicate
that
as
an
affordable
unit
to
the
community.
Moving
up
to
the
second
floor,
where
there's
going
to
be
two
three
bedroom
units
and
one
two
bedroom
unit
on
the
second
floor
and
also
on
the
third
floor,
the
two
bedroom
units
are
eleven
hundred
and
fifty
square
feet
and
the
three
bedroom
units
range
from
thirteen
hundred
and
eighty
square
feet
to
fourteen
hundred
and
thirty
switch
square
feet.
BR
As
the
secretary
mentioned,
there
are
individual
roof
decks.
There
are
three
roof
decks
on
the
roof
that
are
going
to
be
exclusive
use
of
the
top
unit,
unit
owners
and
they're,
going
to
be
accessible
by
hatch.
Only
and
it's
going
to
be
just
for
the
units
that
are
on
the
top
floor.
BR
In
regards
to
the
violations
of
the
zoning
code,
we
do
have
a
used
violation,
which
is
a
multi-family
we're
proposing
seven
condominiums
in
the
two
family,
but
we
believe
this
is
a
reasonable
use,
given
the
fact
that
it's
on
the
corner
of
river
street
and
old
morton
street,
it's
a
700,
almost
a
7
700
square
foot
lot,
which
has
been
an
empty
lot
vacant
lot
for
quite
some
time
since
my
client
has
purchased
a
property
in
a
box.
Another
building
43,
which
is
a
three-story
16
unit,
building
across
the
street.
BR
It's
a
neighborhood
shopping
district,
but
there's
the
old
school
house
with
the
multi-family
residential
units
and
there
are
other
multi-family
residential
units
in
the
area.
As
for
the
accessory
parking,
I
don't
believe
that's
a
violation
that
went
through
the
zoning
code.
I
believe
ryan
sprague,
if
you
want
more
information,
could
probably
elaborate
on
that.
I
don't
believe
it's
a
violation.
The
floor.
A
Okay,
okay,
I'm
just
so.
Okay
sounds
like
you
covered
everything.
How
are
the
plans?
How
are
the
plans,
mr
alec,
the.
A
Okay,
so
this
is
just
off
it's
just
off
of
okay,
washington,
street.
Okay,
any
questions
on
the
board
is
anybody
here
to
speak
in
support
of
this
proposal.
BH
Madam
chair
of
the
board
dante
people
is
here
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
We
would
like
to
go
in
on
record
in
opposition
of
this
proposal.
We
don't.
We
do
not
believe
this
is
a
good
fit
for
the
community
for
the
neighborhood.
The
application
went
through
an
extensive
community
process
where
issues
such
as
displacement
of
parking,
overflow
of
trash
and
upkeep
of
units
were
raised.
This
was
at
an
abundant
meeting
on
april
1
2021.
BH
BH
As
well
as
the
outside,.
AK
Morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
dustin
gardner
behalf
of
city
council,
andrea
campbell's
office.
We
would
also
like
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
with
the
director,
butters
and
civic.
BJ
Vegema
34
burma
street
matapan.
The
council
goes
in
opposition
in
agreement
with
the
civic
association,
as
well
as
the
director
butters.
In
addition,
I
have
been
over
the
past
year,
delivering
groceries
to
residents
who
live
at
43
river
street,
the
driveway
or
spot,
which
directly
is
in
between
the
vacant
lot
in
that
building
is
very
narrow.
BJ
There
is
it's
hard
there
actually
is
a
entranceway
for
four
residents
at
43
river
street
that
face
that
parking
the
empty
lot.
The
lot
is
a
dirt
lot
to
which
currently,
every
day,
at
least
between
eight
to
ten
cards
parking
at
any
time,
even
though
it
is
not
considered.
That
is
the
purpose
for
that
lot.
A
BJ
Ahead,
the
opposition
is
based
on
that.
The
proposed
density
of
the
of
the
units
would
be
too
much
for
a
very
narrow
street.
The
street
that
it
comes
out
on
is
off
of
river
street.
It's
a
one-way.
It
already
has
two-way
parking
on
both
sides.
BJ
It
is
incredibly
difficult
to
maneuver
in
and
out,
and
there
really
isn't.
According
to
the
designs,
it's
not
probable.
It
doesn't
make
sense
that
if
you
have
residents
whose
front
entryway
faces
a
lot
would
be
facing
a
different
building,
how
they
would
also
come
in
and
out,
because
there
is
a
dumpster
that
is
there
already
for
that
apartment
building.
Okay,
thank
you.
BS
Good
morning,
my
name
is
susan
lombardi
verticelli,
I'm
at
three
taylor
terrace
across
the
street,
from
the
parcel.
I
oppose
this
project,
along
with
dozens
of
abutters
direct
and
otherwise
the
parcel
is
listed
as
a
two
family
and
the
planned
seven
units
with
almost
three
times.
The
far
is
excessive
by
design
the
design
is
not
in
line
with
the
historic
buildings
of
matapan
and
lower
mills,
and
the
building
would
create
an
undue
parking
burden
on
the
neighborhood.
BS
The
design
would
also
create
a
safety
and
fire
hazard
not
only
for
those
living
in
the
building,
but
to
the
neighborhood
at
large.
The
owner
currently
does
not
take
care
of
either
of
the
properties
that
he
owns
there
and
my
faith
that
he
would
build
something
to
support
the
community
is
nil.
It's
also
important.
It's
also
important
to
know
hold
on
hold.
A
On
miss
ambassador,
may
I
hear
from
one
more
person
because
I
think
mrs
lombardi
you've
been
very
you
you've
gotten
right
to
the
point.
So
thank
you.
Okay,.
BT
Hi,
I'm
david
perry,
I'm
at
66
old
morton,
I'm
in
favor
of
the
project.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
thank
you.
Given
that
information,
may
I
have
a
motion
please.
BR
BR
A
BR
So,
looking
at
the
the
lot
size
at
7,
700
square
feet
of
lot
size,
we've
made
considerable
changes
to
the
the
or
from
the
original
plant
from
the
rayon
setback,
because
this
is
a
shallow
lot.
We
are
22
feet
from
the
property
lines
from
our
butter
at
only
over
martin
street,
so
there
is
plenty
of
room
in
the
back.
BR
There
are
seven
units,
there
are
adequate
size
and
there
is,
I
believe,
it's
reasonable
use
of
the
property,
given
the
fact
that
right
next
door
is
a
16
residential
building,
a
couple
of
doors
down.
There
was
a
proposal
I
think,
there's
like
nine
or
ten
town
hall
style
units.
So
given
that
the
size
of
the
lot-
and
we
can
address
that
the
unit
size
is
adequate
size
and
we
believe
it
fits
nicely
within
that
area
because
it's
at
the
corner
of
river
street
in
the
morning,
it's
not
enough
council.
H
Calling
your
next
case
calling
voa
116
1026
85
to
93
sutherland
road.
This
is
demolish
the
front
entrance
canopy
of
an
existing
four-story
apartment
building
and
replace
it
with
a
new
canopy
over
a
new
package
door
enclosure
to
one
side
of
the
entrance,
the
violation
article
51,
section,
9,
the
front
yard
is
insufficient
name
an
address
for
the
record.
Please.
AP
A
Y
Oh
yes,
certainly
there's
we
just
get
by
the
existing
conditions
where
there's
already
an
existing
canopy.
That's
there
the
building
was
built
in
around
1965
or
so
it's
a
very
simple
modern
box.
You
see
a
lot
of
these
around
the
city
and
it's
got
a
very
rather
insufficient
and
uninviting
existing
entrance.
The
problem
with
the
the
the
origin
of
the
project
came
because
there's
13.
A
Sorry,
I'm
sorry,
mr
rubinoff,
so
this
that
we're
looking
at
3.1
is
the
proposed
entranceway
is
the
proposed
canopy.
That's.
A
Okay,
how
about
the
plans
mr
ellick.
BU
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services,
we
conducted
a
butters
meeting
on
february
24th.
I
know
concerns
were
raised
at
the
abutters
meeting.
The
applicant
went
on
to
the
brighton
austin
improvement
association,
received
their
full
support
as
well.
Thank.
BV
AF
H
K
Thank
you.
I
do
have
a
raised
hand
by
call
of
14.
they
might
be
for
the
other
project.
Are
you
here
for
this
project?
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
this
proposal
if
you're
interested
in
speaking
on
it,
I
think
the
two
raised
hands
are
from
previous
yeah.
BW
Madam
chair
annabel,
gomes
from
the
brighton
austin
improvement
association,
we'd
like
to
go
and
support.
Thank
you.

AQ
AQ
This
is
a
single
floor
stand-alone
building
a
former
bank
with
eight
existing
on-site
parking
spaces
in
the
rear
of
the
building.
The
floor
plan
shows
a
400
square
foot
single
floor
program
where
the
patients
and
customers
enter
through
the
front
of
the
building
and
then
exit
through
the
rear
of
the
building
there.
There
are
six
point
of
sales
counselor.
A
AQ
Yes,
so
harvard
ave
is
on
the
bottom
of
your
screen
and
the
the
rear
of
the
building
and
the
parking
area
is
to
the
left
and
behind
patients
and
customers
would
enter
through
the
front
of
the
of
the
building,
and
we
do
have
our
own
private
property.
AQ
It's
not,
and
it's
not
emptying
directly
onto
the
public
sidewalk
we're
seeing
about
120
customers
a
day,
and
we
anticipate
there'll
be
about
240
about
double
that
when
we
open
as
a
co-located
facility
I'll
enter
through
the
front
that
squiggly
kind
of
line
right
there
is
just
the
is
the
bank
of
point
of
sales.
We
have
six.
I
mentioned
we're
only
using
three
at
the
moment.
We've
never
really
needed
to
ramp
this
up
to
a
into
all
sex
going.
It's
just
we're
not
just
not.
You
know.
AQ
We
have
plenty
of
throughput
and
plenty
of
capacity
and
we're
not
seeing
we're
not
seeing
the
lines
that
netta
saw
or
as
even,
if
maybe
you
saw
him
recently.
I
I
heard
even
that,
isn't
seeing
those
the
lines
they
used
to
see,
because
so
many
of
these
other
dispensaries
are
starting
to
open
throughout
the
throughout
the
region.
AQ
The
proposed
hours
are
9
a.m
to
7
p.m,
monday
through
saturday
and
11
a.m,
to
6
p.m.
On
sundays,
the
proponent
has
proposed
that
he
would
operate
as
appointment
only
for
the
first
30
days,
just
to
really
kind
of
start,
slow
and
and
get
his
feet
under
feet
under
them,
and
then
they
would
convert
to
just
straight
walk-in.
Thereafter,
there
are
two
secure.
There
are
right
now,
there's
one
security
guard
that
mostly
spends
its
time
outside
the
facility.
It's
a
third-party
security
company.
AQ
P
P
Is
there
I
know
it's
a
freestanding
building
up
to
lower
the
site
so
by
the
neighborhood,
what
the
the
parking
area
there's!
No
there's
no
parking
on
premises,
correct!
It's
not
being
used
for
parking
premises.
AQ
There
is
no
restriction
on
the
customer
on
the
staff
using
it
if
you
scroll
up
you'll,
see
a
psych
plan
which
gives
you
a
better
view.
Madam
ambassador,
the
there
should
be
a
site
plan
in
the
previous,
but
but
there
is
no
prohibition,
but
we've
asked
our
customers
and
incented
our
customers
to
use
transit
demand
management
tools,
public
transportation
and
the
like.
Because
we've
you
know,
we
value
those
spaces
and
it
makes
it
easier
for
customers
to
come
in
and
and
find
a
parking
space
generally.
AQ
AQ
Hey,
mr
ellis,
we
clear
the
500
and
then
some
I
we're
not.
I
guess
the
closest
school
would
be
the
horus
man
school,
which
is
thousands
of
miles
away.
A
And
can
we
go
back
to
see
what
your
screening
and
buffering
looks
like,
because
you
are
right
on
that
brookline
line
and
just
to
see
that
there's
fencing
put
up
or
something
in
there
just
to
secure
the
facility.
AQ
Yeah
they're
the
the
elevations
are,
actually
I
mean
they're,
not
elevations,
they're
just
photos,
so
we
can
get
a
pretty
good
idea
of
what
the
yeah
there's
some
plantings.
We,
you
know
we
we're
happy
to
to
take
a
look
at
that.
It's
it's
a
we've
improved
the
building.
The
building
has
been
like
that
for
a
long
time,
as
mr
libras
pointed
out,
and
the
bikes
pull
up
and
it
doesn't,
it
hasn't
really
changed.
We've
been,
we've,
certainly
improved
it
from
its
previous
state.
BU
Yes,
phantom
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
Let's
go
on
record
to
support
this
proposal.
We
conducted
a
public
meeting
on
april,
2nd
of
2019.
Since
then,
the
applicant
has
met
with
the
austin
civic
association
several
times
and
also
held
their
own
community
meetings
as
well.
They
received
aca
support
and
we
also
feel
that
they
currently
operate
with
little
to
no
impact
on
the
community.
K
BX
BW
Madam
chair
annabelle
goes
to
the
brighton

They
did
not
present
to

so
we
did
not
vote
on
this
presentation.
There
was
no
outreach
to
us
so
there.

this
this
we
just
need

it's.

R
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lin's
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
harrison
lewinsky,
who
was
with
me
today,
also
eric
zacherson
who's.
The
project
architect
is
on
the
zoom
call.
Madam
chairs,
the
secretary
indicated
this
involves
a
demolition
of
existing
single
family
structure.
I
would
describe
this
as
being
located
on
probably
the
furthest
edge
of
eagle
hill
neighborhood.
R
It
is
actually
in
a
zoning
district
that
shares
two
boundaries.
One
is
the
mer
maritime
economic
reserve,
as
well
as
the
neighborhood
shopping
district.
The
site
is
predominantly
within
the
neighborhood
shopping
district,
so
the
proposed
multi-family
use
isn't
allowed
permissible
use
in
the
district
with
respect
to
the
unit
sizes.
Each
unit
is
a
two
bedroom
two
bath.
We
anticipate
that
the
size
of
the
units
will
range
from
about
950
square
feet
up
to
about
a
thousand
square
feet
and
we
are
proposing
two
private
roof
decks
for
the
upper
levels.
R
The
roof
decks
would
be
accessed
by
stairwell,
not
by
not
by
headhouse.
We
ensured
that
the
the
architect
incorporated
that
into
the
design
with
respect
to
the
relief
that's
necessary.
I'm
sure,
as
the
board
is
aware,
the
neighborhood
shopping
district
is
quite
conservative.
A
Council,
let
me
just
ask
a
question:
if
you're
in
the
m-e-r-m-e-r
is
there
any
issues
with
base
flood
elevation.
R
This
site
there
is
there's
no
issues.
This
is
actually
an
elevated
site
higher
than
the
base
flood
elevation.
There's
no
no
flood
zone
concern
mer
is
the
adjoining
industrial
area,
which
is
owned,
I
believe
by
mobile
oil
corp.
That
is
a
parking
lot
that
you
can
see
from
some
of
the
context
photos,
but
again,
because
because
only
a
fraction
of
the
lot
is
within
the
mer,
the
predominant
district
is
neighborhood
shopping
and
therefore
neighborhood
shopping
applies.
So.
R
I'm
sorry,
I
understand
you're
possible.
Oh
no!
No!
There's!
No!
If
you
go
back
to
the
to
the
photos,
there
is
no
likely
development
on
the
site.
It
is
a
site
that
is
owned
by
the
mass
highway
department.
It's
located
under
the
mcclellan
highway
corridor.
I
don't
anticipate,
I
don't
think
anybody
ever
anticipates
anything
being
developed
that
will
likely
remain
under
highway
parking
for
the
you
know
foreseeable
future.
D
R
That
section
of
saratoga
street
has
a
predominantly
three-story
buildings,
mr
ehrlich.
There
is
a
commercial
building
that
is
a
bit
higher.
You
know
three
stories
at
the
at
the
corner.
As
you
go
further
down,
I
would
point
out
that
the
lot
immediately
adjacent
that
is
in
the
mer
district,
it's
a
vacant.
Currently
the
height
limit
is
55
feet,
so
we're
at
42
feet,
which
would
be
lower
than
the
adjoining
district.
X
Afternoon,
madam
chairman
members
of
the
book,
lena
melinda
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
in
support
for
this
proposal.
The
applicant
addressed
several
of
the
concern
experts
during
the
community
process,
and
we
also
received
three
layers
of
support
for
this
proposal.
Thank
you.
AR
A
H
On
the
next
case,
calling
voa
116
7625
125
saratoga
street,
this
is
seeking
to
change
the
act
from
a
single-family
residential
drawing
to
a
two-family
residential
dwelling
and
also
to
erect
red
decks,
violates
article
53,
section
56
austrian
parking
loan
requirement,
article
53,
section
9,
the
floridian
ratio
is
excessive
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
AD
AD
And
a
lot
size
is
1
654
square
feet
in
terms
of
the
two
violations
we
were
cited
for
far
allowed
as
0.8
we're
proposing
1.52.
This
is
a
pre-existing
violation
at
approximately
1.16.
Also,
we
required
one
additional
parking
space.
As
you
can
see
from
that
cover
page
of
the
picture.
We
are
in
a
set
of
row
houses,
so
we
cannot
provide
any
parking,
so
we're
required
one
additional
and
we
are
proposing
zero
in
terms
of
the
layout.
The
two
units
would
both
be
duplex
style
units
unit.
AD
AD
Two
would
be
located
on
the
second
and
third
floor,
a
three-bedroom
unit
at
approximately
1270
square
feet,
we're
also
proposing
rear
decks,
which
you
can
see
on
the
elevations
for
the
upper
floors,
but
with
that
I'll
have
I'll
happily
pause
and
take
any
questions
from
the
board.
D
The
plants
are
okay,
I
do
have
one
concern
about
the
garden
level,
my
favorite
term
there's
a
there's,
a
significant
shift
in
the
topography
from
front
to
back
of
this
building,
and
it's
in
the
front.
It's
seven
foot,
one
from
the
garden
level
or
basement
floor
to
grade,
which
is
pretty
much
means
that
the
entire
thing
is
underground,
but
in
the
rear
it's
a
grade.
D
So
I
would,
I
think
the
plans
would
be
okay
if,
if
the
bedroom
and
the
office
were
reversed
of
the
bedroom
was
in
the
rear,
where
there's
more
natural
light
other
than
that
they're,
okay,.
A
Miss
edwards,
can
you
please
move
the
screen
to
the
proposed.
Thank
you.
X
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board
lena
trameli
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
the
regular
support
for
this
proposal.
The
office
of
neighborhood
services
held
two
apparently
for
this
proposal,
where
the
applicant
worked
close
with
the
avatars
and
addressed
several
of
their
concerns.
This
proposal
also
receives
support
from
eagle
hill
civic
association
and,
as
well,
will
receive
12
learners
of
support.
Thank
you.
AE
AF
D
Please
approve
with
bpda
design
review
but
to
to
reverse
the
bedroom
and
office
on
the
on
the
ground
floor
on
the
garden
level.
E
Yeah
yeah,
I
have
concerns
with
the
basement
living
space.
To
be
honest,
it's,
but
that's
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
for
the
record.
E
AD
Madam
chair,
if
I
may,
we
would
have
to
look
at
inverting
the
unit
bringing
the
bedrooms
upstairs
if
that's
more
amenable
we
do
have,
as
mr
ehrlich
mentioned
a
full
walkout.
So
we
do
think
we
do
have
good
light
and
air
down
there,
but
we
would
certainly
look
at
bringing
the
bedroom
up
up
to
the
first
floor.
If
that
is.

Q
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
marancy,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
west
broadway
in
south
boston,
I'm
representing
the
developer
of
the
property
joey
akari.
Madam
chair
members.
The
site
is
located
at
the
intersection
of
east
broadway
and
l
street
in
south
boston
in
an
mfr
multi-family
residential
ls,
local
service
zoning
sub
district.
It's
presently
the
home
of
a
single
story,
unused
single
story,
commercial
building
and
a
three-story
residential
building,
the
building
in
blue
there,
and
then
the
the
small
building
in
in
the
foreground.
Q
The
commercial
building
in
the
brown
building
to
the
left
of
the
blue.
The
site
is
4
500
square
feet
because
of
its
location.
At
the
busy
intersection
of
ellis
street
and
east
broadway.
I
was
very
early
determined
that
creating
off
street
parking
here
would
not
be
possible
due
to
the
inability
to
safely
introduce
a
curb
cut
for
a
new
building.
Q
The
building
itself
would
be
a
ground
floor.
Restaurant
use
of
approximately
eight
hundred
ninety
square
feet
three
stories
above
that
three
residential
units
per
floor.
There
would
be
six
one
bedroom
plus
units
of
approximately
nine
hundred.
Seventy
to
a
thousand
fifty
four
square
feet,
and
then
three
two
bedroom
units
also
970
to
1054
square
feet.
There
would
be
no
roof
deck,
no
projecting
bays
or
balconies
of
any
kind.
Q
With
respect
to
the
zoning
there.
The
application
is
cited,
as
I
mentioned,
for
insufficient
off-street
parking
traffic
visibility
across
corner.
That
situation
is
actually
being
improved
with
the
proposed
building
by
the
setbacks
at
the
corner,
which
are
an
enhancement
over
what
exists
there.
Now
the
restaurant
uses
conditional
my
client
owns
and
operates
both
the
broadway
and
playwright
also
located
on
east
broadway
nearby
and
is
very
experienced
in
the
operation
of
a
restaurant.
Q
This
does
not
meet
the
minimum
lot
size
requirements.
The
far
is
excessive.
Interestingly
enough,
in
this
mfr
ls
commercial
residential,
flash
commercial
district
allowed
density
under
the
code
is
even
less
so
there's
a
maximum.
Far
here
of
1.5
and
a
maximum
allowed
height
of
35
feet,
which
is
actually
less
than
mfr.
The
proposed
far
here
is
4.07
and
the
proposed
building
height
is
42
feet.
11
inches,
there's
a
usable
open
space
insufficiency
cited
again:
there's
no
roof
deck
of
any
kind
on
the
roof.
Q
As
drawn,
it's
currently
120
madam
chair,
but
that
is
not
a
legal
matter
at
this
time.
What
I
mean
by
that
is,
the
restaurant
would
have
to
go
through
a
separate
process.
Community
process
and
hearing
with
the
licensing
board,
but
space
as
drawn
would
allow
for
120.
Q
A
It
is
okay,
okay,
mr
erlich.
How
are
the
plans.
D
The
plans
are
fine,
mr
mourinsky.
These
site
plans
say
that
it's
a
five-story
building
where
all
the
rest
of
the
drawing
shows
for
I
assume
that's
a
typo.
Q
Yeah,
in
a
sense,
mr
thorlick,
this
began
as
as
a
somewhat
different
building
the,
but
yes,
the
site
the
site
plan,
any
notes,
any
notation,
that's
being
a
five
story.
Building
is
incorrect
as
a
fourth
third.
Q
Oh,
I
just
want
to
finish
on
zoning
for
the
record.
If
I,
if
I
might,
I
just
have
a
couple
more-
the
front
yard
insufficiency
cited
for
l
street,
only
east
broadway's
compliance
with
the
street
model.
I
would.
I
would
suggest
that
that
l
street
is
also
in
compliance
with
the
street
model
side
yard
insufficiency
the
citation
there
is
not
provided
on
east
broadway.
Again,
that's
allowing
for
street
wall
continuity
in
a
commercial
district.
There's
a
rare
yard
insufficiency
cited
20
feet
is
required.
Five
feet
is
proposed
again,
this
being
a
corner
lot.
Q
The
rear
yard
is
essentially
a
side
yard,
as
the
building
is
is
viewed
from
l
street,
where
most
of
the
building
in
fact
exists
and
finally,
there's
a
violation
cited
for
location
of
main
entrance
because
of
the
layout
of
the
building
and
to
avoid
any
conflict
between
restaurant
patrons
and
residents
of
the
building.
The
restaurant
entrance
is
on
the
east
broadway
side
and
the
residential
entrance
is
on
the
l
street
side
of
the
building,
which
causes
that
violation.
W
AI
AI
Moreover,
the
number
of
units
was
reduced
from
11
to
nine,
with
no
text
or
roof
tax.
In
addition,
the
proponent
has
committed
that
they
will
work
closely
with
the
boston
transportation
department
to
at
this
location,
to
its
list
of
rental
properties
in
an
ineligible
for
residential
parking
sticker,
which
will
help
alleviate
concerns
about
adding
additional
residential
vehicles
to
the
existing
parking
difficulties
in
the
area.
AI
The
councillors
acknowledged
that,
while
these
compromises
have
gained
the
support
of
some
neighbors
and
the
civic
group,
opposition
remains
for
from
other
neighbors
in
the
areas.
The
support
of
the
counselor
stems
from
the
proponents.
Willingness
to
work
with
all
stakeholders
and
the
counselors
desire
to
see
them
continue
to
work
together
with
their
daughters,
neighbors
and
both
the
gate
of
heaven,
neighborhood
association
and
the
city
point
neighborhood
association,
one
of
outstanding
concerns
regarding
capacity
and
bar
seating,
the
hours
of
operation
and
closing
time
and
outdoor
dining.

Good

AX
Ma'am
chef
members
aboard
paul
sullivan
for
city
council
at
large,
michael
flaherty,
while
the
council
has
consistently
opposed
the
zoning
relief
under
article
68,
he
recognizes
here
the
unique
conditions
existing
along
west
and
east
broadway.
This
project
is
consistent
with
the
ongoing
redevelopment
occurring
along
south
boston's
main
commercial
thoroughfares,
the
developer
reduced
the
unit
count
and
the
building's
height
agreed
to
resident
parking
restrictions
in
the
proposed
restaurant
will
add
to
the
vitality
of
the
neighborhood.
Any
issues
with
the
specifics
of
the
restaurant's
operations
will
be
subject
of
additional
community
process
through

Okay,
given

Okay,
I
mean
because,
as
it
is,
there's
a
hard
enough
time
enforcing

Q
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
morancy,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
at
350,
west
broadway
in
south
boston.
I
represent
the
owner
of
the
property
john
munier,
madam
chair
members.
This
is
very
simple
just
in
terms
of
what
is
being
sought
from
this
board,
which
is
a
variance
for
three
family
use
in
the
two
family
district.
Q
The
my
client
purchased
the
property
and
began
renovating
it
when
he
purchased
it.
There
are
already
three
kitchens
in
there
if
there
have
been,
perhaps
as
many
as
four
units
in
over
the
years.
Q
What
he's
seeking
to
do
is
do
a
complete
gut
renovation
of
the
building
establish
the
legal
occupancy
as
a
three-family
dwelling,
the
three
units
would
be
1392
square
foot,
three
bedroom,
a
2,
30
square
foot,
three
bedroom
and
a
702
square
foot,
one
bedroom,
the
existing
garage
in
the
back,
which
has
not
been
used
over
the
years
parking
would
be
demolished
allowing
for
a
minimum
of
three
apostrophe
parking
spaces
in
the
rear.
Q
Q
The
only
additions
are
a
small
rear
balcony
off
of
the
second
floor
level
and
a
new
deck
over
the
roof
of
the
the
second
story:
roof
of
of
the
the
level
below
for
the
exclusive
use
of
that
smaller
one
bedroom
unit.
On
the
third
floor,
with
that
I'll
pause
and
I'll
take
any
questions
that
the
members
may
have.
AV
Afternoon,

van
del
mayer's

the

Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
mark
lacasse
legal
counsel
to
the
applicant,
which
is
kg,
collective
llc
and
with
me
on
the
hearing
today,
is
michael
pires,
one
of
the
co-owners
marcus
johnson
smith,
the
other
co-owner
and
our
architect,
jose
guzman
I'll
start
off
by
just
indicating
that
this
is
in
the
jamaica,
plain,
neighborhood
district
and
a
sub-district
of
industrial
development
area.
And,
of
course,
the
cannabis
retail
use
is
a
conditional
use,
and
that
is
the
precise
relief
that
we're
thinking
from
the
board.
Today.
CC
Do
you
mind
scrolling
up
to
the
previous
slide?
Please
so
good
afternoon,
everyone
actually
up
two
sides
to
the
main
building
just
want
to
take
off
that
one.
Thank
you
get
you
take
a
few
moments
familiarize
you
with
the
building.
It's
at
1589
columbus
avenue.
We
do
have
a
10-year
lease
secure.
We
believe
the
site
to
be
compliant.
We
are
more
than
half
a
mile
from
the
closest
dispensary
which
is
located
on
blue
hill
avenue
and
we
are
700
feet
away
from
the
closest
grade:
schools,
nativity
prep.
CC
A
So
as
the
applicant
can
we
go
directly
into
telling
us
how
the
facility
would
work
show
us
the
layout
tell
us
how
the
facility
would
work
once
one
entered
the
door,
what
your
security
is
and
your
hours
of
operation.
CC
Our
hours
of
operation
are
monday
through
sunday,
11
8,
as
approved
by
the
boston
cannabis
board.
Our
entrance
will
remain
on
the
corner
of
a
marine
columbus
avenue,
we're
going
to
remove
the
non-compliant
ramp
there.
That's
currently
there
and
install
the
wheelchair
lift
to
ensure
access
to
everyone
into
our
establishment.
CC
Upon
arrival,
their
ids
will
be
checked
by
a
security
agent
before
entering
our
vestibule.
Our
vestibule
will
act
as
a
cooling
area
and
they'll
come
to
this
secondary
security
id
checkpoint,
where
the
ids
will
be
verified
to
see
the
legal
age
to
enter
into
our
establishment.
We'll
have
eight
point
of
sales
stations.
The
first
one
closest
to
the
door
will
be
dedicated
for
online
ordering
and
express
pickup
and
the
rest
of
the
building
is,
you
know.
Is
it
called
the
back
of
the
house?
CC
We'll
have
a
vault
where
all
the
product
will
be
stored.
The
the
end
of
the
evening
per
cc
regulations
and
we'll
also
have
a
small
kush
group
shop
was
a
which
is
a
duplicate
of
our
current
business
in
mission
hill.
It's
just
a
small
cannabis
accessory
store
that
will
complement
the
dispensary
and
also
act
as
a
additional
queuing
area
for
customers.
A
And
so
where
is
so
if
a
person
enters
by
the
office,
where
did
they
exit.
CC
A
CC
Here
and
then
go
into
the
vestibule
into
the
counter
clockwise
to
the
clockwise
motion.
Well,
when
they
enter
the
salesforce
and
exit
right.
The
same
way,
they
came
in
right.
CC
The
security,
if
you
want
to
slide
down
a
a
couple
of
slides
down,
it's
pretty
much
the
same
layout.
We
have
cameras
throughout
the
building.
We
have
24
7
third-party
monitoring,
hold
up,
alarms
behind
the
point
of
sale
stations
and
also
on
the
vault.
CC
CC
So,
unfortunately,
due
to
the
limitations
of
the
of
the
lot,
there
aren't
any
opportunities
for
parking,
but
we
have
worked
out
an
arrangement
with
we
are
working
on
an
arrangement
with
our
butter
to
utilize
the
easement
for
loading.
There
is
no
parking,
there's
plenty
of
off
of
on-street
parking
on
columbus
and
aimery
street,
and
we
are
in
discussions
with
the
btd
to
try
to
create
two
to
three
short-term
parking
spaces
that
our
customers
can
use.
You
know
for
for
entering
our
establishment,
but
we
are
close
to
jackson
square.
CC
No,
not
even
about
500
feet
away.
There's
three
mbta
stops
right
in
front
of
our
building,
so
we're
gonna.
You
know
subsidize
those
costs
for
our
employees
focus
on
localized
hiring,
so
you
know
hopes
that
employees
won't
have
to
use
any
of
the
parking
spaces
to
leave
those
for
customers.
A
So
I
think
it's
the
home
for
little
wanderers.
Is
that
who's
going
to
have
their
daycare
or
is
it
horizons?
I
forget
who's
going
to
have
their
daycare
center
down
the
street?
Have
you
have
you
been
in
touch
with
them.
CC
CC
Okay
and
their
concerns
were
relative
to
queueing
outside,
but
we
walked
them
through
our
security
plan
and
then
our
cue
traffic
management
plan
and
they
seemed
to
be
they
didn't-
have
any
other
concerns
beyond
that.
CC
So,
as
I
mentioned,
there
will
be
a
security
guard
at
the
door
he's
going
to
manage
customers
in
the
queuing
and
the
vestibule.
If
you
want
to
go
back
to
the
floor
plan,
our
vestibule
area
can
house,
you
know
several
customers
and
then,
if
we
ever
have
times
of
you
know
high
demand,
we
can
also
put
customers
inside
of
our
cush
group
shop
and
they
can,
you
know,
look
at
some
of
our
accessories
while
they
wait
to
get
gain
entrance
into
the
dispensary
sales
floor.
P
Yeah,
if
the
applicant
mentioned
that
the
the
nearest
establishment
was
on
blue
hill
ave,
isn't
there
a
closer
one
located
in
on
center
state.
CC
There's
one
on
jamaica,
plain,
called
seed
that
recently
opened
they're
about
the
same
distance,
but
they're
they're
both
way
over
the
half
mile
buffer
requirement.
Can
we.
L
P
To
the
slide
that
shows
that
buffer,
because
are
there
playgrounds
within
the.
A
Yeah
there's
a
playground
behind
me,
yeah
masala,
but
is
it
a
pla?
Is
it
a
playground?
I
can't
remember.
A
A
And
then
did
the
bpda
board
just
approved
the
complete
renovation
of
mildred
haley.
P
A
CD
A
Any
other
questions
from
the
board
is
anybody
here
to
speak
in
support
of
this
proposal.
Good.
S
CE
Held
for
this
proposal
on
november
17
2020
as
well
as
december
28th
2020.,
the
applicant
has
worked
with
multiple
community
groups
and
civic
associations
throughout
roxbury
engine
makeup
plan.
There
were
concerns
regarding
parking
and
traffic,
but
we
believe
the
applicants
have
worked
with
the
city
and
the
community
to
trust
those
concerns.
The
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council
has
voted
in
support
of
this
proposal.
Therefore,
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
and
recommend
support.
Thank
you.

Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
justin
mcclary
from
city
councilor,
matt
o'malley's

I'd
also
like
to
stress
the
amount
of
community
meetings
that
this
group
has
had,
both
with
the
business
community
and
with
various
civic
associations,
all
of
which
received
overwhelming
support
from
neighbors.
The

would
like

olmstead

jamaica,

I'm
speaking
for
eggleston
square
neighborhood
association.
We
had
a
number
of
meetings
with
kg
collective
found
them
very
responsive
to
our
concerns.
We
believe
we'll
have
ongoing
good
communication
and
discussions
with
them.
We
had
confirmation
from
boston
transportation
department.
They
would
help
with
allocating
two
short-term
parking
spaces
and
also
locate
some
bike
parking.
AW
E
CC
They
attended
our
our
first
community
meeting
and
we
reached
out
to
them
to
have
a
private
meeting,
but
they
were
having
a
change
in
management
and
we're
waiting
for
them
to
follow
up.
In

in
boston
attorney
for
the
applicant
at
142,
p

We
are
requesting
a
deferral
at
this
time.
We
thought
we
were
ready
to
go
today,
but
we've
been
requested
by
the
mayor's
office
and
councilor
flynn's
office
to
have
another
a
better
meeting
to
iron
out
a
few
more
details
on
this
one.
So
we
would
ask
for
deferral.
A
So
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
heads
up,
like
we've
been
giving
everybody
else,
a
heads
up
that
you
know
we
are
not
keen
on
too
many
deferrals.
It's
it
wastes
our
time
in
certain
ways.
If
you
don't
have
your
act
together,
so
just
try
and
make
sure
that
everything
gets
sorted
out
before
your
next
appearance
before
us.
E
P
I'm
sure
I'm
gonna
stand
on
this
vote.
I
need
to
check
the
owner
of
this.
A
Well,
I'm
I'm!
Okay,
if
you
recuse
yourself
for
now,
because
it's
just
a
deferral,
yeah.
A
Me,
thank
you.
Yes,
for
the

mr

is
refused.
H
A
Miss

His
second
request.
T
For
a
deferral
it
is
madam

After
we
came
before
you
before,
we
had
made
some
several
reductions
in
the
size
of
this
single-family
home,
and
we
heard
from
the

office
today
that
they
were
opposing
requesting
for
further
community
dialogue,
as
well
as
with
the

Q
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
marantsy,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
west
broadway
in
south
boston,
representing
joey
akari,
also
joined
by
michael
delafabe
of
rhode,
architects.
At
today's
hearing,
madam
chair
members,
this
is
an
article
80
small
project,
which
was
approved
by
the
bra
board
of
directors
on
march
11.
This
year
the
site
is
12
029
square
feet
and
consists
of
two
combined
parcels
at
1121,
dorchester
avenue
and
at
31
seven
hill
avenue.
Q
The
proposed
project
consists
of
a
four-story
building
containing
21
dwelling
units
with
a
ground
floor,
restaurant
on
the
dorchester
side
of
the
site,
the
dorchester
avenue
side
of
the
site
in
a
three-story
building
with
three
dwelling
units
at
31,
seven
hill
avenue,
the
rear
of
the
site
or
the
front,
obviously
is
viewed
from
seven
hill
avenue.
The
initially
proposed
office
space
has
been
eliminated.
This
had
originally
been
a
five-story
building.
It
is
now
a
four-story
building.
It
would
be
a
rental
project
and
would
provide
four
idp
units.
The
site
is
located
within
a
local
convenience.
Q
A
Is
a
mystery,
so
mr
rants,
it
looks
like
the
easy
thing
is
to
do
salmon
help
up,
because
it's
context
because
I
from
the
layout
I
see
how
how
the
parking
is
is
going
to
work.
But
please
talk
about
about
seven
he'll
have.
Q
Sure
hill
is
is
a
is
there's
currently
a
single
family
dwelling
there
two
and
a
half
stories.
It
would
be
replaced
by
a
three-story
building,
which
you
know,
zoning
compliant
height
the
existing
building.
There
has
zero
setback
on
the
right
side.
This.
This
would
have
a
a
three
foot
set
back
from
the
lot
line,
meaning
10
feet
from
the
building,
the
residential
building
to
the
right,
so
that
view
from
rear
of
the
three
family.
Obviously
you
know
what
that
is
showing
is
so
that
the
entirety
of
the
building
can
be
seen.
Q
Q
BC
Q
Certainly
so,
as
I
said,
additional
variances
required
for
the
building
height
of
the
main
building
usable,
open
space,
the
rare
yard
setback
the
far
and
and
the
parking
as
well,
of
course,
is
for
two
buildings
on
one
lot:
it's
an
l-shaped
lot.
It's
currently
the
site
of
an
automotive
use.
With
respect
to
zoning.
As
I
mentioned
it's
in
an
lc
bordering
on
a
3f
district,
it
is,
it
is
within
plan,
glover's
corner
the
ongoing
bpda
planning
study
and
it
complies
with
all
of
the
use
and
dimensional
requirements
of
that
plan.
Q
The
1121
dorchester
avenue
building
will
consist
of
a
5
000
30
square
foot
ground
floor
restaurant
space
floors.
Two
to
four
will
consist
of
21
dwelling
units,
there'll
be
15,
one
bedroom
units,
three
one
plus
bedroom
units
and
three
three
bedroom
units,
the
all
ranging
size
from
750
65
square
feet
for
three
of
the
one
bedrooms,
but
all
other
units
range
from
830
to
1095
square
feet,
there'll
be
13
a
low
grade
parking
spaces.
Q
The
chair
pointed
out
that
she
sees
that
the
access
is
in
fact
from
the
saving
hill
avenue
side
of
the
site,
and
that
is
correct
and
there'll
be
26.
Bicycle
parking
spaces
project
was
designed
with
great
attention
to
the
setbacks,
with
generous
green
space
areas
at
the
rear
of
the
site,
including
on
the
right
side
of
31,
seven
hill
avenue
adjacent
to
the
nearest
residential
butter,
and
it
also
be
a
significant
set
back
in
front
of
the
building
where
the
restaurant
is
located
with
planters.
Q
No
there's
no
activated
roof
on
the
building.
There
is
because
there's
an
elevator
and
an
elevated
penthouse
there
would
be
both.
You
know
there
would
be
stair
access
to
the
roof,
but
the
access
way
in
in
the
penthouse
is
or
would
be,
the
minimum
size
necessary
to
achieve
the
objective
of
accessing
the
roof
for
servicing
mechanical
units
in
the
elevator.
A
And
the
parking
the
13
below
grade
spaces,
are
they
going
to
be
shared
between
the
restaurant
use
and
the
residential
use,
or
is
it
dedicated
to
residential
use.
AV
Good
afternoon,
madam
chairmans
of
the
board
patrick
fandale
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
It
went
through
a
full
article,
80
community
process
with
the
neighborhood,
and
the
applicants
have
also
continued
outreach
to
the
columbia,
savant
hill,
civic
association,
as
well
as
butters.
AV
We're
very
excited
about
this
density
increase
in
this
area.
As
the
counselor
noted,
this
is
in
the
glover's
corner
planning,
study
area
and
with
that
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
in.

Ma'am

michael
flaherty

like
to

knowing
that
this
would
be
best,
this
will
be
bring

well
as
a

Q
I
I
I
believe
my
client,
mr
arkari,
is
online.
I
don't
know
if
he
has
an
answer
for
that.
Do
you
mean
a
type
of
restaurant?
Madam
chair.
A
No,
it
really
doesn't
matter
because
then,
if
you're
doing
takeout
we'll
see
you
okay,
given
this
information,
may
I
have
a
motion.
Please.

BT
BT
Yes,
the
my
clients
have
purchased
this
house.
It
was
a
two
family,
they've,
converted
it
to
a
single
family
and
have
undertaken
a
renovation
of
it
as
part
of
the
work.
They
would
like
permission
to
add
a
dormer
onto
the
rear
of
the
house
and
to
have
a
deck
on
top
of
that
dormer,
the
that's
where
the
violet
zoning
relief
that
we
need.
BT
We
work
pretty
closely
or
very
closely
with
the
people
behind
us
who
ended
up
supporting
it,
and
we've
also
worked
with
the
charlestown
preservation,
society
and
other
neighbors
to
remove
a
skylight
that
was
on
the
front
roof
which
they
objected
to,
and
so
we
have
removed
that
and
we're
we're
still
happy
to
work
with
the
neighbors.
But,
although
that
wasn't
part
of
the
variance,
they
were
very
concerned
with
that.
So
we
we
just
went
carefully.
BT
That
was
some
time
to
work
out
things
with
charlestown's
preservation
and
the
abutters.
Yes,
what.
D
The
plans
are
pretty
interesting.
Mr
burke,
the
cupola
is
is
existing
right.
BT
Yes,
that
is
correct,
yeah
and
we've:
we've
set
the
deck
in,
and
the
dormer
in
from
both
sides
and
actually
lowered
it
to
minimize
any
visibility.
Yeah.
D
Yeah,
I
I
recall
this
because
it's
pretty
unusual
to
see
a
cubicle
like
that
yeah,
it's
a
beautiful.
BT
D
Yeah
yeah
and
I
see
that
that
you've
reduced
the
dimensions
yeah.
The
drawings
are
fine.

Well,

I
guess,
motion

The
second
paramount
is
a
true
family
change.
Auction
to
a
three
family
dwelling
rebuild
the
rear
elevation
to
add
additional
space
to
the
rear
of
the
structure,
to
convert
from
a
two
family
to
a
three
family,
build
a
driveway
to
access
parking
in
the

H
BT
My
name
is
timothy
burke,
I'm
the
architect
for
the
project.
My
business
address
is
142
berkeley
street
in
boston,
and
I
know
that
john
palgini
is
the
attorney
for
this.
A
Can
you
just
talk
us
through
since
you
have
the
mic?
Yes,
what
this
would
mean
from
a
two
to
a
three
is:
what's
the
size,
how
is
this
conversion
happening.
BT
The
the
addition
would
be
on
the
back
of
the
l.
We
would
be
adding
a
third
story.
It's
a
two-story
l,
now
the
front
half
of
the
the
front
part
of
the
building
is
a
brick
three-story
structure
and
that
we
would
create
three
units
that
would
be
the
first
unit
on
the
first
level
would
also
include
some
space
in
the
basement.
BT
A
So
the
for
the
first
unit
tell
us
about
the
basement
occupancy
the
floor
to
ceiling
height
and
if
there
are
any
bedrooms
for
those
in
that
basement,.
BT
Yes,
it
would
be
two
more
sheets
I'll
show
you
the
plan,
but
there's
one
bedroom
in
there.
It's
mostly
a
family
room.
That's
proposed!
You
can
see
it
now
on
your
screen.
The
height
is
seven
foot
nine.
In
this
basement,
the
front
half
is
devoted
to
the
mechanical
services
for
the
entire
building
and
storage
for
the
upper
units.
BT
So
the
the
living
space
is
really
just
the
new
part
in
the
back
that
we're
doing.
D
Well
as
described
except,
but
he
failed
to
mention
that
the
basement
to
grade
is
five
foot
five
inches,
which
is
really
makes
it
has
a
feel
of
being
underground,
and
so
I
think
we
would
based
on
our
the
board's
practice.
I
don't
think
we
would
want
to
see
a
bedroom
in
that
basement.
H
H
The
street
at
this
location
is
very
narrow
and
there
is
parking
on
the
side
of
the
street.
Also,
there
is
a
street
light
directly
in
front
of
the
site
where
the
driveway
is
planned
to
be
located.
Finally,
the
driveway
is
only
eight
and
a
half
feet
in
width,
which
is
much
too
small
for
a
vehicle
to
burst
safely
in
any
direction.
A
CE
AF
K
J
Yes,
robert

next
door
to

back
directly
attached
to
knight
eden
street.
H
C
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So,
let's
just
see
mr
buck,
can
you
talk
through
us
again
through
that
driveway.
BT
Yes,
the
the
eight
and
a
half
foot
constriction
is
about
one-third
into
the
site.
So
it's
where
the
other
building
at
number
seven
eden
street
comes
up
up
to
the
property
line.
So
it
is
a
little
narrow
at
that
one
section,
but
then
it
opens
up
quite
nicely
in
the
back
where
the
parking
is
we've
added
a
a
rumble
strip
at
the
before
the
street,
so
that
any
cars
coming
out
would
have
a
warning
to
be
careful
about
pulling
out,
and
we
are
aware
of
that.
BT
The
we'd
have
to
pay
for
having
the
light,
all
relocated
where
the
driveway
entrance
is,
but
talking
to
the
neighbors
we
heard
you
know
that
parking
is
difficult
and
that
by
us
providing
these
five
spots.
BT
One
and
a
half
is
required
here,
but
by
having
five
spots
the
we
would
help
relieve
the
the
on-street
parking.
That's
stressed.
D
BT
Let's
go
here,
it
is
here
the
this
is
you
can
see
where
the
two
buildings
come
together.
That's
the
tightest
point.
I
think
that
first
drawing
was
the
best
the
cycle,
yes,
that
one
there.
BT
D
But
you've
got
but
you've
got
eight
and
a
half
feet
from
the
sidewalk
all
the
way
to
the
back
of
the
building
before
you
are
expanding
it
right.
BT
It
is
a
little
wider
at
the
street.
That's
at
an
angle,
so
those
the
the
line
is
not
quite
parallel
but
yeah,
it's
an
it's
a
narrow
drive.
We
feel
that
you
know
it's
going
to
encourage
people
to
have
smaller
cars,
which
is
a
great
thing
and
that
the
use
of
a
residential
parking
is
fairly
minimal.
It's
the
lowest
frequency
of
use
that
we
see,
so
we
don't
expect
there
to
be
a
lot
of
travel
through
there
and
eight
and
a
half
as
wide
as
a
normal
parking
space
in
a
parking
lot.
D
Well,
eight
and
a
half
is
the
standard
on
on
the
parking
space,
so
I
mean
it's
yeah
you're
not
going
to
get
a
stretch
limo
in
there.
That's
for
sure.
A
BT
BT
And
here
we
are
so
we
shifted
the
entire
deck
forward
and
we
also
reduced
the
size
quite
a
bit.
I
I
feel
that
we
weren't
we
were
sighted
incorrectly
because
we've
kept
this
deck
to
below
35
feet,
it's
accessed
by
a
hatch
and
it's
less
than
one
foot
above
the
high
point
of
the
roof.
So
it
we
asked
the
reviewer
about
that
and
we
never
got
an
answer
so.

square
feet
of
land.
It's
located
on
the
west,
northwestern
edge
of
brighton
towards
the
charles
river
recreation
area
and
the
watertown
newton
lines.
I
The
client
has
been
approved
by
article
80
large
project
review
on
january
14th
through
the
bpda's
process
for
a
six-story
102
unit.
Residential
development
at
this
site
would
include
62
parking
spaces,
as
well
as
a
new
funding
for
a
new
blue
bike
station
and
a
small
ground
floor.
Retail
cafe
as
you'll
see
in
the
presentation.
I
The
studios
are
between
563
square
feet,
all
the
way
up
to
676..
So
this
is
not
a
compact
project
at
all.
These
are
generously
sized.
Even
the
one-bedroom
units
go
up
to
almost
900
square
feet
and,
as
I
mentioned,
55
of
them
have
around
balconies
and
there's
also
a
roof
deck
on
the
top
overlooking
across
the
charles
river.
I
We
have
a
inclusionary
development
program
here
here
that
exceeds
the
requirements
for
providing
17
of
affordable
instead
of
the
13.
What
that
means,
madam
chair,
is
that
we
have
17
units
that
are
income
restricted
in
a
range
of
50
percent,
ami
all
the
way
up
to
90
ami
one
of
those
is
a
three
bedroom
unit
that
would
be
income
restricted
at
90
percent
of
ami,
intended
to
capture
what
this
board
has
talked
about:
family
style,
housing
and
the
like,
which
was
a
big
part
of
our
discussion
with
the
community.
I
I
The
far
required
is
one
our
contemplated
far
is
3.87,
the
height
is
35,
we
are
69
too,
but
that
of
course
varies
throughout
the
design.
This
is
a
through
lot
as
well,
madam
chair,
so
the
front
yard
requirement
is
seven
in
a
through
lot.
You
obviously
have
two
front
yards,
one
being
soldiers
field,
road,
the
other
being
solders
field
place
which
would
be
the
back,
so
we
are
nearly
compliant
at
the
true
front,
which
is
six
feet
in
seven
inches
back.
I
I
Total
square
footage
is
5983
of
usable,
open
space
for
a
requirement
of
5100.
A
Stanley,
can
you
talk
through
the
parking?
Mr
edwards,
can
you
show
us
how
the
parking
layout
is
proposed.
I
So
62
spaces:
this
is
a
a
rental
building
we're
also.
I
have
a
fully
compliant
bicycle
storage
and
repair
area,
as
required
under
the
new
guidelines.
The
62
parking
spaces
are
all
unbundled.
Madam
chair,
meaning
they're
open
they're,
not
designated
per
unit,
we're
we're
also
at
a
location
you're
familiar
with
this
neighborhood.
It
is.
A
I
Yeah,
so
that's
a
big
part
of
the
parking
right.
We
had
a
robust
discussion
with
both
neighborhood
groups
and
the
iag
some
folks
thinking
we
needed
more,
some
folks
wanting
a
little
less.
We
think
we
ended
up
in
a
place
that
earned.
A
Everyone's
support
is
there
any.
I
know
the
concern
in
a
lot
of
neighborhoods
now
is
graduate
student
and
graduate
student
housing.
Is
there
any
way
that
you've
responded
to
that.
I
It's
not,
it
was
never
brought
up
in
the
entire
year
of
discussion.
It's
not
something
that
is
contemplated.
Mr
ballas
is
a
residential
home
ownership
and
apartment
developer
in
austin
brighton.
We
don't
see
that
as
as
being
part
of
this
necessarily
this
market,
where
it
is
again,
we've
designed
this
housing
program
in
a
way
that
we're
delivering
we're
exceeding
affordability
requirements,
we're
providing
family
size
units
and
even
the
one
and
two
bedroom
units
are
very
vast
in
size.
D
The
plans
are
good,
it's
and
the
affordability
is
good.
I
one
this
is
not
a
zoning
question.
I'm
just
curious
as
to
why
the
design
has
that
sort
of
step
back
features
where
there's
less
frontage
on
the
on
soldier's
field
and
more
on
the
rear.
What
was
that
was
that
in
response
to
community
request
or
how'd
that
happen,
yeah
so.
I
I
can
let
mr
howler
speak
to
it,
but
it's
so
that's
the
maximum
amount
of
units
have
air
and
light
and
access
and
to
the
charles
river
and
the
area.
So
maybe
you
want
to
speak
to
that
eric
just
quickly
eric
howard
from.
CH
Highland
yeah
hi
eric
heller.
Thanks
for
the
comment,
we
shaped
the
building
as
a
prow
to
give
80
of
the
units
views
of
the
charles.
So
it's
a
unique
site.
The
charles
is
a
great
amenity.
We
thought
everyone
living
here
would
want
a
view
of
the
charles,
so
the
serrated
edges
sort
of
step
back,
allowing
everyone
to
have
a
oblique
view
of
the
charles
okay.
BU
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office,
the
neighborhood
services,
political,
russian
supporters
proposal,
as
you
heard
from
the
applicant
they've,
made
tremendous
work
with
the
iag
group,
the
civic
association
during
the
bpda
process.
BU
They've
also
made
public
realm
improvements
to
that
area
as
well.
I
think
we're
going
to
continue
to
see
more
changes
in
that
particular
part
of
brighton,
as
it
becomes
more
residential
as
easier
access
to
the
charles
river.
Mike
sinatra
is
on
as
well.
He
can.
A
BV
Good
call
this
is
maura
craven
from
councillor
breden's
office.
I'd
like
to
go
on
records.
Council
breeding
would
like
to
go
on
record
as
being
it's
a
part
of
this
project.
As
connor
mentioned,
we
appreciate
the
high
level
of
affordability
included
in
this
project
and
also
the
range
of
amis
included
in
the
units.
I'd
also
just
like
to
mention
that
this,
as
connor
often
mentioned
this
area,
will
be
increasingly
connected
to
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood.
BV
It
has
been
sort
of
disconnected
just
based
on
the
streets,
but
we
are
going
to
see
a
number
of
improvements
in
terms
of
connectivity
and
there
will
be
huge
changes
on
leo
birmingham
parkway.
So
we
are
looking
forward
to
that
too.
In
working
with
this
development,
thanks.
AF
BX
Yes,
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
tony
desadoro,
representing
the
austin
civic
association,
I
would
like
to
echo
the
the
opinions
of
those
who
have
spoken
in
favor
of
this
project.
BX
The
affordability
for
our
association
was
very
appealing
and
we
respect
the
reasonable
and
appropriateness
of
the
height
of
the
building,
as
well
given
its
close
proximity
to
the
charles
river.
So
we
have
approved
this
project
with
our
usual
proviso
that
short-term,
rentals
and
or
undergraduate
student
housing
be
prohibited.
BW
I'm
chair
members
of
the
board
annabelle
gomes
from
the
brighton
austin
improvement
association,
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
We
support
the
affordability
at
17
and
the
size
of
the
units
having
some
family-friendly
units
there
and
also
converting
that
area
to
a
residential
area.
Thank
you.
AU
Yes,
graphene
melon
chair
members
of
the
board
mine
opera,
representing
the
carpenters
union
on
behalf
of
hundreds
of
our
residents,
who
want
to
go
on
record
and
support
also
kudos
to
the
developer
for
a
great
civic
engagement.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
CG
Thank
you,
madam
chairman,
members
of
the
board
kevin
mcroy,
I'm
a
lawyer
from
fall

rock

soldiers
field.
Road,
limited
partnership
and
the
residences
at
soldier
field
place
condominium,
limited
partnership.
The
the
objection
is
is
that
the
release
saw
it
really
doesn't
comply
with
with
any
of
the
requirements
of
the
boston
zoning
code
or
40a.
CG
There
are
no
special
circumstances
that
are
applicable
to
this
property
that
are
not
present
in
the
entire
neighborhood.
None
have
been
shown.
This
simply
appears
to
be
an
effort
to
to
maximize
profits,
which
is
understandable,
but.
A
CG
CG
That
I
cannot
say
I
understand
that
they
acquired
the
properties
after
any
approvals
were
in
hand.
Okay,.
A
So
they
did
so
they
did
benefit
from
the
relief,
whether
they
they
personally
stopped
them
or
they
purchased
them.
Okay,
thank
you
for
for
putting
on
the
record
the
opposition
for
the
for
the
two

K
CI
CI
CJ
A
Can
you
pick
up
your
pace
please
and
describe
to
us
what's
happening?
I
understand
that
at
97,
97
williams,
street
you're
you're,
essentially
creating
a
a
smaller
lot
you're
taking
680
square
feet
from
it.
How
many
units
are
there
at
97.,
33.97,
there's
three
units
and
then
tell
us
about
what's
being
proposed
at
99.
CJ
At
99
we're
proposing
a
six
unit
building,
there
are
there's
one
two-bedroom
unit
and
that's
900
square
feet,
and
there
are
five
three-bedroom
units
that
are
about
between
100
or
1400
square
feet.
The
joe
is
we're
proposing
to
combine
the
two
lots
to
create
this
sixth
family
building.
CJ
One
of
the
ideas
there
is
that
the
the
building
will
be
more
energy
efficient
due
to
the
fact
that
we
have
less
perimeter
so
we're
taking
the
kickstarter.
A
Let's
just
hold
on
what
is
the
zoning
district
here.
CJ
So
we
have
three
we're
parking
is
coming
off
of
stedman
street
on
on
a
new
driveway.
There
are
three
interior
spaces
and
two
surface
spaces,
so
we
are
one
space
short
for
99
williams,
five
parking
spaces
for
six
units
and
are
you
proposing
a
roof
deck
we're
proposing
two
roof
decks
that
would
have
exclusive
access
from
the
top
floor
units
by
stairs
up
from
the
chalk
floor
units.
CJ
A
Okay,
how
are
the
plans
mr
ellick.
CE
Afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
joe
carpenter
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
and
the
butter's
meeting
for
this
proposal
was
held
on
september
23rd
2020.
The
afghan
has
been
working
with
the
local
civic
association
since
february
2020
around
this
proposal.
The
mayor's
office
believes
that
the
applicant
has
worked
closely
with
the
community
addressed
the
concerns
surrounding
this
proposal,
and
the
applicant
also
has
received
the
support
from
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council.
Therefore,
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.
CF
AF
K
CK
CK
It's
not
appropriate
for
the
zoning.
The
far
is
what
74
percent
above
what
should
be
required.
CK
The
setbacks
are
completely
inadequate
and
there
really
isn't
consideration
here
for
the
abutters
on
a
number
of
different
levels,
including
you
know,
maintaining
the
the
tree
canopy
along
the
property
lines
that
would
provide
some
buffer
and
privacy.
Essentially,
you
know
we
have
bathroom
windows
that
will
be
looking
on
to
this
project.
That
would
be
completely
exposed.
So
for
for
all
of
these
reasons,
the
subcommittee
and
the
sna
voted
to
not.
A
Mr
fortune,
what's
the
opposition
letters
based
on?
Is
there
anything
that
that
surfaces
through
those.
AA
AA
A
H
A
A
Okay,
let's
go
ahead,
then.
A
Let's
see
anybody
else,
anybody
else
to
speak,
mr
miss
ambassador.
Did
you
get
everybody.
K
I'm
not
yet.
I
have
three
more
hands
raised.
You've
been
unmuted,
can
you
state
your
name
and
address?
Please.
CL
CL
The
subcommittee
was
not
able
to
come
to
an
agreement
and
the
sma
membership
voted
overwhelmingly
to
oppose
this
proposal
on
the
grounds
of
excessive
massing,
excessive,
far
and
preservation
of
our
three
four
thousand
district.
There's.
No
reason
why
this
developer
couldn't
put
two
triple
deckers
on
these
two
lots.
CL
We
also
are
concerned
about
the
driveway
and
how
much
property
is
being
taken
away
from
97,
william
street,
which
is
a
a
building
of
renters
and
essentially
their
their
backyard,
will
be
completely
gone
to
make
way
for
the
driveway.
For
this
property,
the
driveway
is
dumping
out
onto
steadman
street,
which
is
a
very
narrow
street
that
has
a
city
of
la
boston,
tottenham,
two
doorways
down
from
where
this
driveway
will
empty
out,
so
we're
proposing
that
they
build
two
triple
deckers,
with
a
driveway
that
empties
on
to
williams
street.
CM
Hi,
my
name
is
jennifer
urhy
and
I
live
at
47
rossmoor
road,
which
is
within
about
200
feet
of
this
property.
I
also
oppose
this
project.
I
support
the
stony
brook
neighborhood
association's
vote
against
this
project,
mainly
because
the
developer
is
asking
for
a
huge
number
of
variances
to
build
a
grossly
oversized
building.
Here,
it's
proposed
to
be
63
foot
wide,
which
is
very
big,
and
it
is
not
the
equivalent
of
you
know
two
triple
deckers
being
joined
by
central
hallway,
it's
more
like
two
humongous
triple
deckers,
plus
a
center
hallway.
CM
So
it's
just
it's
really
too
big
for
the
site.
This
same
architect
has
done
a
great
job,
proposing
sorry
designing
an
equivalent
project
right
around
the
corner
that
the
zba
recently
approved
at
3436
rossmoor
same
lot.
Size
two
triple
deckers,
with
a
shared
driveway
in
between
that
kind
of
proposal,
is
a
lot
more
appropriate
for
this
lot.
There's
nothing
unusual
about
this
lot.
There's
no
hardship,
there's
no
difficult
condition
here
that
prevents
them
from
building
something
that
is
more
appropriately
sized
and
scale
for
this.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
K
BB
Yes,
this
is
jason
libby
and
I
live
at
97
williams
street
the
first
floor.
BB
Oh
yes,
and
I
support
the
project.
I
I
think
it's
important
for
providing
housing
to
the
area.
A
Okay,
so
let
me
just
give
the
applicant
a
couple
of
minutes
for
rebuttal
before
we
move
to
a
vote.
A
We
don't
have
the
the
technical
ability
to
do
that.
Will
you
just
walk
us
through
talk
us
through
what
you're.
CJ
Proposing
I
I
strongly
disagree
that
the
project
is
oversized
for
the
neighborhood.
I
put
a
lot
of
thought
and
effort
into
making
the
massing
and
the
scale
fit
very
well
into
the
neighborhood.
We
are
respecting
the
front
modal
setback.
We
are
respecting
the
side,
setbacks
of
10
and
7.
we're
respecting
the

These
two
building
blocks
resemble
two
three
family
structures
and
they
step
along
the
street
block
in
the
same
pattern
that
the
other
buildings
do
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
people
like
34
and
36
wants
more
road,
but
those
are
both
buildings
that
have
two
bedroom
units
in
them
and
taking
the
stair
out
and
combining
it
with
sharing
it.
Among
the
six
units
enables
each
unit
to
have
an
additional
bedroom.
A
So
let
me
just
ask
you:
I
I
have
a
feeling
that
your
project
is
still
doable
if
you
leave
97
out
of
the
equation
and
somehow
try
to
have
the
whole
project
work
on
99,
because
there
is
some
merit
to
the
fact
that
at
97
the
backyard
is
totally
being
lost
to
a
driveway
to
support
99..
A
CJ
I
can
address
that
somewhat
in
that
the
we
are
not
actually
short
on
usable,
open
state
space
for
99
we're
going
to
have
an
11
foot
set
back
to
the
fence
and
then
the
driveway
on
the
other
side.
So
we
are
in
in
excess
of
the
usable
open
space
for
97..
CJ
The
plains
examiner
sent
me
a
letter
to
that
effect.
Yesterday.
He
removed
that
violation,
but
it
just
didn't
catch
up
with
the
hearing
today.
So
we
have
enough
usable,
open
space
on
that
that
lot
now,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
precedent
set
on
seven
street.
As
you
go
up,
okay,
you
know
so.
A
So
we
actually
take
each
case
on
its
merits,
so
I
think
we
have
given
everybody
enough
opportunity
to
speak
on
this
case.
May
I
have
a.
D
Motion
going
to
make
a
motion
to
deny
without
prejudice,
I
think
the
the
project
needs
to
be
somewhat
reconceived.
A
So
that's
two
oppositions
motion
carries
so
it's
denied
without
prejudice.

H
CN
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
alfonso,
I'm
the
architect
for
the
client
and
we're
looking
to
get
a
change
of
views
to
a
lodging
house
and
provide
additional
unit
in
the
basement
right
now.
The
the
building
is
the
client
rents,
the
rooms,
there's
four
rooms
per
floor,
two
means
of
egress
and
the
client
is
looking
to
provide
a
building
that
it's
completely
up
to
code,
where
that's.
A
Why
did
we
defer
this
case?
Because
I
know
that
they
were?
We
were
very
concerned
about
the
residential
use
in
the
basement.
I,
as
I
recall
about
it,
were
concerned
about
about
that
use.
You
would
defer
what
has
happened
in
the
time
since
we
last
saw
this
proposal.
CN
It
was
deferred
because
a
one
of
the
abutters
came
on
on
before
the
meeting
was
over
the
last
meeting
and
she
stated
that
she
was
not
aware
of
a
community
meeting.
So
you
asked
for
us
to
do
another
meeting
which
we
held
already
with
the
community.
D
D
Excuse
me,
the
there
are,
no,
the
plans
that
were
submitted
do
not
show
any
elevations,
so
we
don't
know
what
the
height
of
the
florida
ceiling
is
and
what
it
is
in
relation
to
great.
That
was
a
problem
last
time
that
has
not
been
corrected.
I've
seen.
A
Or
two
dollars,
mr
sarah,
can
you
miss
ambassador
meet
mr
sira
for
a
minute,
so
I'm
proud
to
make
put
on
the
record
that
we
are
very
concerned
that
with
lodging
houses
that
everybody
is
safe
and
secure,
and
if
we
cannot
have
the
information
that
we
need
to
know
that
their
health
safety
and
welfare
can
be
accommodated
in
this
and
that
we
cannot
make
a
decision
after
being
given
a
chance.
I
just
need
a
motion.
Please,
mr
alec.

19

so
how

at

A
Okay

at

tell

tell

units.
CO
AT
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
the
parking,
the
parking
ratio,
because
the
151
spencer
street
project
is
actually
a
collaboration,
a
joint
venture
with
travis
lee's
development
of
the
site.
AT
That
is
the
city-owned
lot
of
what
formerly,
as
known
as
the
europa's
great
garage
and
this
development,
we
have
decided
to
subdivide
the
lot
and
with
the
19
residential
units
of
100,
affordable
residential
units,
we
have
decided
to
get
the
ratio
of
less
than
five
percent,
therefore,
resulting
in
only
just
fitting
eight
parking
spaces
for
the
development
of
151
sponsor.
CO
Sure
so
I'll,
oh
yeah
damian,
do
you
want
to
take
that.
CP
Yes,
I'll
take
that,
for
the
record,
my
name
is
damon
bolden,
I'm
the
project
manager
at
studios
at
business,
address
67
poplar
street
located
in
roslindale.
In
terms
of
the
approximate
square
footage.
The
one
bedroom
units
are
approximately
645
square
feet.
The
two
bedroom
units
are
approximately
775
square
feet
on
average,
and
the
three
bedroom
units
are
approximately
1055
square
feet
on
average
and
there
are
no
four
bedroom
units.
A
Okay,
is
there
a
roof
deck
proposed
on
this
building.
A
No
okay,
okay
and
tell
us
how
the
parking
is
proposed
to
work.
AT
We
have
a
shared
driveway
with
travis
lee's
development,
on
270,
tilde
and
off
our
parking,
there
is,
I
believe,
is
seven
regular
parking
spaces
with
one
handicap.
That's
on
the
west.
Actually,
the
southern
border
of
the
building.
A
CP
Okay,
so
those
those
eight
parking
spaces
are
located
just
at
the
rear
of
the
building
or
at
the
south
side
of
the
building.
Sorry,
the
screen
is
moving.
A
CO
A
Okay
and
tell
us
talk
to
us
now
about
new
england,
the
bedrooms,
the
bedroom
count
is
23.
What's
the
breakdown.
CP
Yes,
at
new
england,
the
of
the
23
units,
six
of
them
are
one
bedroom,
12
or
two
bedroom
and
five
or
three
bedroom
units.
Again,
no
four
bedroom
units,
the
one
bedroom
units
are
approximately
615
square
feet,
but
two
bedroom
units
are
approximately
775
square
feet
and
the
three
bedroom
units
are
approximately
1060
square
feet.
BT
W
CP
Go
so
the
the
parking
would
feed
directly
off
of
new
england
ave
where
you'd
have
the
the
12
parking
spaces,
one
of
which
would
be
handicap
accessible
and
the
parking
begins
to
serve
almost
as
a
buffer
to
the
industrial
building.
That's
to
the
right.
A
Okay
and
no
roof
decks.
Are
there
any
common
spaces
in
either
or
in
both
of
these
buildings?.
CP
There's
a
shared
lounge
space
on
the
ground
floor,
a
shared
lounge
and
laundry
as
well.
As
you
know,
you've
got
the
the
bike
storage
stations
that
are
typically
right
by
the
entry
in
both
buildings
and
then
shared
exterior
spaces
for
both.

Madam

my

alex

I'm
an
applicant
16,
dustin

CD
H
C
A
Okay,
so
we
did
not
have
a
full
board.
So
let's
go
ahead.
Mr
norman
tell
us
what
you're
proposing
to
do.
Is
this
a
one
or
a
two
family
dwelling.
CP
CD
We
have
two
different
areas:
the
old
part
of
the
basement,
it's
seven
feet
in
one
inch
height
and
the
new
area
where
the
gym
is
proposed
to
be
it,
it's
eight
feet
and
seven
inches.
CD
A
And
so
the
plan
that
we're
looking
at
so
the
where,
as
I
see
storage
I
see
garage,
I
see
mechanical
miss
edwards.
Can
you
zoom
in
a
little
bit,
so
we
can
see
exactly
where
that
proposed?
Gym
is?
Oh,
I
see
next
to
the
storage
facility.
So
this
is
a
single
family
dwelling.
It
looks
like
there's
a
bar.
BM
D
Well,
this
is
a
really
de
minimis
proposal
if
he
has
seven
foot
one
in
the
low
area
and
eight
seven-
and
I
he's
fine-
I
mean
there's
no.
A
Okay,
any
questions
from
the
board
is
anybody
here
to
speak
in
support
of
this
proposal.
BU
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
Let
go
records
support
this
proposal.
You
know
because
it
qualified
for
subcommittee
at
the
time
we
did
not
hold
in
a
butters
meeting,
but
we
had
them
circulate
flyers
to
the
neighborhood
and
didn't
hear
any
serious
concerns.
BU
They
did
go
to
the
austin,
brighton
civic
association
and
were
were
opposed
by
the
civic
association,
but
our
office
will
go
in
support.
There's
just
really
one
variance
far.
K
BW
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
annabelle
gomes,
though
the
request
is
very
simple:
we
we
have
some
concerns
a
first
with
a
request
that
there
is
two
means
of
egress.
There
is
a
bathroom
that
they're
adding
and
they
have
a
bar
area
that
could
easily
be
converted
to
a
kitchen,
but
that
really
isn't
the
concern
that
we
have.
The
concern
is
the
trust
issue.
BW
BW
A
BW
Really
don't
know
because
they,
I
guess,
had
to
build
within
the
footprint
of
what
the
house
was
there,
but
I
isd
handled
it.
They
didn't
come
back
to
us
on
the
house.
BW
The
house
now
is
very
modern,
which
you
know:
that's
it's
their
home,
it's
their
style,
it's
very
different
from
the
house.
That
was
there
so
that
everything
had
to
go
through
isd
to
replace
the
the
complete
structure.
But
I've
never
heard
of
a
house
completely
collapsing
and
for
someone
to
have
a
crew
that
very
weakened
to
remove
everything
immediately.
A
I
see
okay,
any
anybody
else,
I'm
sorry
miss
ambassador.
Did
you
say
there
was
somebody
else
ready
to
speak.
Yep,
there's
a
great
camp.
K
But
moya
they
want
to
speak.
Did
you
have
anything
to
add
miss
mccrae.
CQ
I'm
a
house
house
owner
so
I
just
would
like
to
clarify
a
house
was
very
old
and
when
we
did,
reconstruction
of
the
basement
was
not
sturdy
and
we
still
have
old,
basement
and
house
is
very
modern.
That's
why
hold
on.
A
Oh,
that
is
your
wife.
Okay,
sorry
about
that.
Thank
you.
Miss
thomas,
can
you
just
see
if
miss
mcrae
did
want
to
get
on
the
right
sure,
yeah.
AL
A
So,
mr
mr
norman,
you
have
some
explaining
to
do.
Can
you
tell
us
what
happened.
CD
Yeah
we,
when
we
hired
the
when
we
started
the
digging
for
for
the
basement,
because
in
original
plan
was
the
edition
on
the
back
side
of
the
basement
and
it
started
to
collapse
the
basement.
So
we
had
to
partially
build
the
new
basement
to
fix
the
old
one,
because
it
was
some
rocks
deeper
in
the
ground
that
were
not
connected
to
each
other.
It's
okay.
AR
A
Okay,
so
hold
on
so
board
members.
Please
may
I
have
a
motion.
D
Well,
this
is
also
an
odd
one.
I
have
to
say
yeah
if
we're
just
dealing
with.
What's
in
front
of
us,
the
proposal
to
do
the
basement
without
the
backstory,
it
seems
like
it's
a
fairly
easy
motion
to
approve
the
backstory
certainly
adds
a
little
drama,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
that
should
factor
into
our
decision.
So
I
guess
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
okay.

BY
The
record
please
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
attorney
patrick
mahoney,
with
the
business
address
of
160
federal
street,
representing
the
developer
for
six
mag.
A
Thank
you
go
ahead,
mr
mahoney.
BY
Madam
chair,
the
application
before
us
is
to
erect
a
single
family
home
and
we
are
appealing
two
two
sections
of
zoning
relief
in
article
65
specifically
exhibition
lot
area
as
well
as
excessive
floor
area
ratio.
The
just
as
an
outset
of
the
proposal.
There
is
a
one
car
parking
requirement:
there's
an
additional
parking
space
being
added
to
the
rear.
BY
A
A
Okay,
so
your
only
violations
are,
your
lot
area
is
insufficient,
which
there's
nothing
you
can
do
about,
and
your
far
is
excessive.
What
is
what
is
this.
H
A
A
BY
BY
Certainly,
the
zoning
sub
district
is
a
3f5
000.
The
minimum
lot
size
requirement
to
erect
a
single
family
home
is
3750
square
feet.
Our
lot
size
is
3416
square
feet,
thereby
we're
seeking
a
variance
for
approximately
339
square
feet.
Additionally,
the
floor
area
ratio
here
is
0.5,
which
would
be
1708
square
feet
would
be.
The
allowance
allowed
floor
area
ratio
and
we
are
proposing
1810
square
feet,
which
is
an
far
of
5.3.
BY
N
A
Yeah:
okay:
how
are
the
plans,
mr,
like
any
basement
dwelling
space
or
not?
No.
D
It's
they're
pretty
straightforward,
pretty
simple
the
the
the
parking
that
mr
mahoney
described.
I
don't
you
know
the
the
the
car
in
the
rear
wouldn't
be
able
to
get
out
past
the
compact,
but
it
from
a
variance
point
of
view
it's
irrelevant,
because
all
he
needs
is
one.
AV
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
patrick
standell,
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services,
this
has
gone
through
a
thorough
community
process
that
began
with
the
initially
a
proposed
three-unit
dwelling,
and
there
has
been
four
butters
meetings
for
this
proposal
as
well
as
outreach,
the
laura
mille
civic
association
and
ashmon
adams,
civic
association
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
one
unit
proposal
that
responds
to
many
of
the
neighborhood
concerns.
AV
A
AV
Think
just
the
density
of
any
development
of
the
property.
A
AX
K
Hey,
madam
chair,
we
do
have
two
raised
hands.
Caitlyn
you've
been
a
muted.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
I
guess.
K
Julie,
julie,
ryan,
you've
been
in
muted.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address?
K
AF
K
BC
Good
afternoon,
madam
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
joe
sussmayer.
I
live
at
23
van
wyckel
street
and
I'm
a
direct
a
butter
to
this
lot.
That
is
open
space
and
I
am
opposed
to
building
a
lot.
A
A
So
I'd
like
to
just
kick
off
to
to
just
kind
of
make
sure
that,
when
the
staff
does
respond
to
this
open
meeting
complaint,
that
we
do
understand
that
the
the
ambassador
gives
everybody
has
an
opportunity
to
have
a
trial
run.
Is
there
is
that
true.
F
Yes,
ma'am
sure
that's
been
our
practice
since
we
established
our
virtual
hearing
process
our
hearings.
Well,
initially,
when
we
presumed,
we
were
starting
at
10
a.m
and
then
we
transitioned
back
to
9
30,
but
we
had
been
holding
an
hour-long
session
prior
to
commencing
the
hearing
at
the
start
time
so
that
those
that
wish
to
participate
can
log
in
and
test
their
their
function
on
their
device.
F
You
know
I.
I
would
also
say
that
you
know
you
at
the
opening
of
the
hearing
and
at
multiple
times
throughout
each
hearing,
restate
the
instructions
before
participating
via
webex,
whether
you're
connected
by
a
computer
or
a
telephone.
F
And
those
those
instructions
are
also
additionally
posted
on
slides
the
display
slides
when
we
call
when
you
ask
for
comments,
so
those
instructions
are
are
visible
and
repeated
throughout
the
hearing.
A
And
for
and
for
april
6
for
the
hearing
of
april
6th,
the
app
the
the
petitioners
who
who
brought
this
complaint
did.
Should
they
have
been
interested
in?
Did
in
fact
have
the
opportunity
to
do
a
trial
run.
F
I
don't
know
whether
or
not
they
attempted
that,
but
certainly
the
opportunity
would
have
been
there,
as
as
in
keeping
with
our
practice
that
hour-long
session
with
the
cba
ambassador
was
held
on
april
6th.
AL
A
Okay,
so
so
it
sounds,
and
then
we
should
also
check
the
files
to
ensure
that
you
know
to
ensure
that
the
petitioner
did
in
fact
submit
anything
in
writing.
F
Yes,
madam
chair,
I
I
have
reviewed
the
file
and
the
complaint
and
the
complainant
who
filed
the
open
meeting
law
complaint
did
submit
via
the
testimony
form
that
is
available
through
the
link
in
the
hearing
agenda
did
submit
the
comments
that
he
wished
to
make
in
opposition
to
the
appeal
for
42
irving
street
and
those
comments
were
received
by
the
board
prior
to
the
hearing
and
were
for
a
part
of
the
file
at
that
time.
A
A
Is
there?
Is
there
anything
else,
any
other
opportunity,
because
I
do
think
we
this
this
kind
of
covers
all
all
possibilities
for
communication
with
the
board.
F
Yes,
I
I
think
you
know
we've
again,
we've
implemented,
you
know,
took
to
great
lengths
to
carefully
implement
a
lot
of
these
procedures
to
ensure
that
our
virtual
hearing
process
could
be
as
close
to
the
process
that
we
have
in
person
yeah.
F
Unfortunately,
there,
along
the
way
there
have
been
some
difficulties
on
our
end
and
on,
on
the
other
end
from
community
users,
and
though
we
are
always
trying
to
be
on
the
lookout
and
accommodate
as
best,
we
can
all
comments
but
again
in
reviewing
this
particular
complaint,
maybe
my
opinion
that
the
board
did
not
violate
the
open
meeting
law
and,
if
the
board
so
desires,
I
will
be
happy
to
prepare
a
formal
response
and
file
that
with
the
complainant,
as
well
as
the
attorney
general's
office.
E
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
authorize
our
kevin
to
compile
a
letter
in
response
to
the
open
meeting
complaint
that
identifies
all
the
talking
points
that
we've
discussed
here
today.
