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

Yes,
the
discussions
at
11th
of
the
from
11
30
a.m.
First
case
is
BOA
on
one
eight,
three,
two,
seven,
seven
with
the
address
of
68
Rose
Street
is
the
applicant's
oil,
a
representative
prison.
D
Oh
yes,
Mr
Sturm,
Bridge
attorney
general
genie
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
business
office,
essentially
through
Braintree
with
me.
This
afternoon,
is
James
Christopher
who's
the
project
architect.
So
this
is
68
Rose
Street
in
Roslindale.
The
zoning
in
this
neighborhood
is
two
family.
Five
thousand.
This
lot
is
9017
square
feet.
The
proposals
to
construct
a
four-story
residential
building,
Upon
A,
currently
vacant
lot.
This
proposal
would
be
comprised
of
four
units
and
would
include
six
parking
spaces
in
the
rear.
The
importance
of
this
is
the
front.
D
The
project
recently
appeared
before
the
board
on
December
6
2022.
At
that
time
we
had
front
yard
parking.
D
The
neighbors
were
very
concerned
about
having
adequate
packing
in
this
neighborhood,
so
we
had
front
yard
talking
because,
because
of
the
elevation
change
we
had
filed
advised
plans
based
upon
that
they
liked
the
project,
but
they
said
they
want
to
do
something.
With
the
front
yard
parking,
we
were
able
to
find
Space
when
you're.
Looking
at
the
building
to
the
right
to
have
the
packing
six
packing
spaces
located
in
the
rear,
the
violation.
Excuse
me
the
there
would
be
four
units
and
they're
all
three
bed
units
1711
square
feet,
1776,
1927
and
1864..
D
As
far
as
violations
we
have
an
far
violation
of
0.5
is
allowed
in
the
two
family
District,
where
0.91
stories
is
two
and
a
half
we're
at
four,
but
that
counts
of
a
low
grade
as
it
tapers
off
the
hill
minimum
side.
Data
is
10
feet.
We
have
a
12
foot,
nine
seven
on
the
right,
which
is
where
another
butter
lives
and
on
the
left
it
abuts
land,
which
is
owned
by
the
bpda,
we're
five
feet
from
that
open
space
where
it's
17
there's
1750
per
unit.
D
We
are
at
814
square
feet
in
use
because
we're
doing
more
than
two
units
in
the
2f
5000,
we
are
excited
for
multi
MSR,
multi-family
residential
has
forbidden.
As
I
stated,
this
went
through
a
long
process.
We
tried
to
work
with
the
embutters
with
respect
to
parking
initially
when
the
proponent
first
met
with
you
about
as
early
on
his
proposal,
because
it's
a
two
f-5000
and
he
has
over
9
000
square
feet.
He
wanted
to
do
two
separate
buildings
with
three
units
in
each
building.
D
They
thought
it
would
be
better
if
they
merged
into
one,
because
it
would
be
less
curb,
Cuts,
less
pavement.
You
know
less
taking
up
of
open
space
and
things
like
that.
So
he
came
up
with
this
plan.
It
did
get
reduced
from
a
six
to
a
four
and
again
the
last
time.
The
four
the
parking
spaces
up
six
were
moved
to
the
back
because,
obviously
front
front
yard
parking
is
a
violation
that
has
since
been
removed.
D
D
Yes,
so
initially
cheer,
it
was
six
units
and
that
was
reduced
down
to
four
units
and
as
I
stated,
you
know
this
is
a
2f
Zone,
but
it's
two
F
5000.
We
have
a
three
family
condominium,
a
three
unit
condominium
directly
to
our
right
when
you're
looking
at
the
project.
So
we
feel
like
it's
consistent.
It's
a
vacant
lot
there'll
be
no
displacement.
D
You
know
it's
a
place
that
needs
housing.
You
can
walk
from
there
easily
to
High
Park
Avenue
to
get
bus.
You
get
the
bus
to
Forest,
Hills
and
Beyond
as
well.
As
you
know,
walking
to
the
village
in
Roslindale
Square.
You
know
for
nightlife
and
also
for
commuter
rails
and
busing
to
Forest
Hills
coming
down.
Washington
Street.
B
And
so
just
to
confirm
when
you,
when
you
had
initially
brought
this
to
the
board
last
year,
it
was
a
six
and
you've
since
downstairs.
B
Okay,
that's
helpful
to
know
in
the
context
of
there
are
no
current
opposition
letters
that
I
see,
but
there
were
plenty
previously
so
I
I'm
sure
Mr
Newman
can
respond
to
that
shortly.
Any
other
questions
from
the
board.
D
That's
a
very
good,
a
good
question.
Initially,
you
know
in,
as
you
guys
know,
in
Roslindale
and
Hyde
Park,
it's
two
parking
spaces
per
residential
unit.
Initially
we
had
the
neighbors
were
very
concerned
about
parking
in
this
neighborhood
and
guests
in
Willow,
Bay,
Park,
and
things
like
that.
So
that's
why
we're
at
six
I
mean
four
would
make
more
sense
because
you're
doing
four
units
and
it
would
take
up
Less
open
space
and
that
would
increase
our
open
space.
But
it
was
something
like
to
police,
the
of
others
down.
F
F
F
I
agree
with
the
other
questions,
though,
in
the
comment
around.
Why
does
this
require
six
spaces
and
it
seems
to
leave
the
rear
of
the
lot
with
less
desirable
space
for
residents
to
use.
D
You
know
I
mean
mistake
and
you
don't.
You
know
how
this
process
goes
right,
I
mean
you
go
into
it
and
you're.
The
letter
is
in
there
talking
about.
You
know
all
those
little
parking
on
this
street
and
things
like
that,
and
we
did
have
a
lot
of
parking
up
front,
which
obviously
is
the
board
knows
it's
not
the
ideal
situation.
So
when
we
reported
report
when
we
presented
in
December,
the
board
was
like
wow.
This
is
a
good
project.
Now,
however,
we
still
have
the
parking
in
the
front.
I
D
E
Are
you
planning
on
performing
well
painting,
Paving
and
any
Landscaping
opportunity
here.
D
That's
a
very
good
question
to
spinato:
there's
a
ton
of
landscaping
opportunity
because
the
building
is
set
back
from
the
street.
So
we
can
do
that
and
also
buffering
along
the
side
where
our
Butters
live
and
as
I
stated,
when
you're
looking
at
the
building
to
the
left.
That
land
is
open
to
the
is
owned
by
the
bpda.
So
at
some
point
I'm
sure
something
will
be
an
irfp
or
something
we
put
out
for
that.
D
But
we
will
be
doing
extensive
landscape
design,
landscape
buffering
and
obviously
the
parking
is
now
in
the
rear.
J
Yes,
Madam
chair
members,
the
board
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time
the
managers
lost
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
I
apologies,
I,
don't
have
a
lot
of
information.
Like
I
said:
we've
had
some
Personnel
changes.
I
do
have
from
the
count
from
February
28th.
J
We
had
seven
letters
of
support
of
this
proposal
and
17
signatories
in
opposition
four
letters
in
opposition.
Some
of
Butters
had
some
concerns
with
with
parking
and
proximity
to
to
plot
lines
on
the
area.
We
also
know
that
State
Rep,
Rob
Consuelo,
had
also
expressed
some
concerns
at
the
time
with
that
we'll
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
B
J
Think,
there's
always
a
desire
for
the
community
to
see
more
parking
with
concerns
regarding
you
know,
overflow,
out
onto
the
street,
it's
okay!
Thank
you.
K
L
L
R
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board
of
automate
WTV
I'd
like
to
request
that
the
number
of
parking
space
will
be
reduced
before
increase
in
width,
and
this
will
lead
to
more
opportunity
to
put
more
green
space
and
at
act
as
an
a
better
of
butter.
That's
a
tough
one
to
say
to
those
that
are
going
to
live
behind
it
on
the
side
of
this
project
and
it
also
improves
maneuverability
as
well.
Thank
you.
S
Hello,
hi
I'm.
So
sorry
it
just
upgraded
me
to
a
panelist,
so
my
my
zoom
reset
for
a
second,
my
apologies.
Thank
you
for
your
understanding.
I
am
the
director
of
butter
to
68
row.
I
speak
on
behalf
of
all
of
the
neighbors
I.
Do
have
a
prepared
statement,
but
I
just
I
know
that
there
were
some
questions
about
the
parking,
so
I
just
wasn't
sure.
If
you
would
like
me
to
address
what
those
concerns
were
before
I
mentioned,
the
other
piece
I
just
want
to
be
respectful
of
everyone's
time.
P
S
On
no
problem
again,
hello
and
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Jill
Fetter
Schneider,
my
address
is
74
Rose
Street
I'm,
the
director
of
butter
to
the
lot
at
68
row
again,
I
speak
on
behalf
of
the
neighbors,
and
the
main
points
are
as
follows:
the
first
is
really
just
surrounding
the
zoning
codes
and
how
the
zoning
really
for
Roslindale
is
around
it.
Being
you
know,
more
of
a
community
neighborhood.
This
structure
doesn't
really
align
with
the
other
homes
in
the
area.
S
It
sets
a
precedent
for
other
proposals,
and
it's
also
not
mentioned
that
this
lot
directly
abuts
as
well
an
MBA
MBTA
Corridor,
the
commuter
rail
goes
directly
behind
and
so
I'm
just
you
know,
concerned
about
you
know,
has
the
MBTA
have
any
say
into
this
onto
how
it
you
know
abuts
their?
S
You
know
their
rail.
Secondly,
the
building
of
this
magnitude
is
really
going
to
encroach
upon
the
privacy
of
the
neighbors
and
their
small
children.
It's
low.
It's
zoned
for
two
family
home
as
the
lawyer
did
state,
but
the
four
duplexes
really
is
actually
encroaching
quite
a
bit
in
all
of
the
community
meetings
that
have
been
held
since
I.
Believe
it's
been
2020.
The
entire
neighborhood
is
vehemently
opposed
to
this.
S
As
one
of
the
other
members
had
stated,
there
have
been
approximately
20
letters
in
opposition.
Someone
had
mentioned
that
there
haven't
been
letters
since
the
reason
being,
for
that
is
basically
anything
above
what
it's
zoned
for
the
neighborhood
is
opposed
so
I,
that
is
on
the
neighbors,
for
not
realizing
that
we
had
to
continue
sending
letters,
so
apologies
for
not
realizing
that
protocol,
but
there's
definitely
significant
disapproval
for
an
oversized
proposal
on
this
lot.
There
also
has
been
testimony
regarding
and
I
know.
S
A
letter
had
been
submitted,
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
access
to
that
one.
Regarding
the
questionable
fill
on
this
land,
according
to
the
city
of
Boston's
assessing
website,
the
land
is
listed
as
unusable,
so
there
is
actually
questionable
fill
as
to
the
structure
of
the
land
itself
and
whether
it
whether
or
not
it's
sound
enough
to
support
a
structure,
especially
of
this
size.
Another
note
that
is
a
bit
misleading
on
the
plans
is
that
the
side
where
they
mentioned
that
it
abuts
the
Roslindale
Woods
it
actually
is
quite
a
steep
slope.
S
So
if
you
are
going
to
really
be
encroaching
on
what
the
the
Border
should
be,
I
think
it's
actually
a
structural
issue
where,
if
you're
not
going
to
be
doing
something
to
support
that
slope,
what
does
that
mean?
You
know
for
risk
of
I
I.
Don't
have
all
the
correct
terminology:
I
apologize,
but
basically
it's
a
very
steep
slope.
So,
if
you're
going
to
build
a
large
structure,
that's
encroaching
on
that
land.
B
And
then
again,
can
you
please
wrap
up?
Thank
you.
Can
you
address
her
question
about
a
couple
of
her
points?
Absolutely.
D
Madam,
chair
I
think,
most
importantly,
you
know
when
she
said
that,
because
this
project
has
changed
several
times,
as
we
stated
at
the
beginning
of
it
right,
we
started
at
six
units
of
packings
up
front,
went
down
to
four
units
of
packings
up
front.
The
packages
moved
to
the
back.
Her
statement
was
anything
they
didn't
have
to
update
their
letters
because
anything
above
the
zoning,
the
neighbors,
are
opposed.
D
The
woman
who
just
lives
in
a
three
family
condominium
directly
adjacent
to
this
project
that
is
not
compliant
with
zoning,
so
under
her
own
standard,
the
her
own
property
which
she's
living
it
would
not
exist
this
day.
So
you
know
we've
done
everything
we
can.
We
have
worked
with
people,
there's
no
displacement.
This
is
empty
land.
This
is
vacant,
land,
that's
just
being
unused.
The
city
needs
housing.
It
is
a
unique
shape.
Lot.
I
agree
with
the
board
member
who
suggested
the
four
and
also
Mr
D'amico,
who
suggested
the
four
parking
spaces.
D
However,
you
know
when
you're
in
the
community
setting
it's
sometimes
it's
it's
difficult
to
explain
to
people.
You
know
which
way
the
city's
going
in
when
they're
saying
well.
Zoning
requires
two
parking
spaces
per
unit
and
again
you
know
we
moved
the
parking
to
the
rear.
If
you
look
at
the
abetting
property
to
our
right,
the
parking
is
in
front
of
the
islands
so
and
through
that,
that's
the
main
points
did
she
touched
on
and
that's
my
response
to
that.
T
Unit
instead
of
a
five
that
would
be
four
parking
spots.
V
Is
the
poor
mine?
Yes,
thank
you.
Madam,
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Kyle
Smith
of
statero
law,
I
business
address
of
359
Newbury
Street
in
Boston,
Back
Bay,
as
indicated
by
our
time
slot.
This
is
a
reconsideration
today,
the
second
time
being
before
the
board.
V
We
did
have
an
original
hearing
on
February
the
7th
for
which
we
had
kind
of
run
through
the
physical
components
of
the
project
which,
as
presented
again
before
you
today,
is
not
changing
in
any
capacity
at
the
original
zba
hearing,
there
was
a
request
and
motion
to
defer
which
carried
for
us
to
complete
a
you
know,
somewhat
imperfect
community
outreach
process
to
specifically
engage
with
the
River
Street
civic
association.
V
I
know
that
the
mayor's
representative
will
be
on
the
line
to
speak
as
to
that,
but
I
just
want
to
let
you
know,
as
that
was
the
cause
of
the
deferral
we
did
have
our
presentation
before
in
the
River
Street
civic
association.
We
did
receive
a
unanimous
vote
of
approval
with
one
abstention.
We
do
have
the
support
of,
as
it
was
kind
of
a
critical
component
of
the
river
streets
vote
of
approval.
V
We
do
have
the
approval
in
writing
as
presented
to
Stephanie
Haynes
for
our
media,
better
to
the
left,
to
the
right
and
immediately
across
the
street,
so
I'm
happy
to
kind
of
go
through
the
project
again
for
you,
if
you'd
like,
but
the
critical
requirement
of
the
board,
as
of
February
7th,
was
to
re-engage
with
River
streets
Association,
which
I
think
we
have
done
completely
and
we
do
have
their
written
letter
of
support
on
the
record.
C
Okay,
yes
from
the
River,
Street
civic
association,
and
they
are
well,
they
don't
say
one
word:
they
are
on
record
in
support
of
the
product.
V
V
This
proposal
is
to
effectively
the
sole
exterior
envelope
changes
or
to
put
a
set
of
dormers
on
the
left
side
of
the
structure
on
the
roof
line
as
you're
looking
at
it
to
effectively
add
two
bedrooms
to
the
existing
third
floor,
living
area,
attic
space
to
put
a
rear,
deck
or
decking
to
the
rear
of
the
structure.
V
Those
are
the
only
proposed
exterior
changes,
interior
there's,
some
reconfiguration
of
living
space
and,
specifically,
the
expansion
of
the
structure
for
living
purposes
into
the
basement
level,
which
would
render
the
first
unit
a
combined,
duplex,
first
and
basement
level
in
courtly.
Knowing
you
know,
the
prior
board
is
concerned
about
basement
level
living.
We
have
one
internal
means
of
egress.
We
have
two
full
external
means
of
egress.
The
board
has
elevations
before
them
for
review
of
these
items,
but
we
do
have
some.
V
You
know,
I,
think
kind
of
safe
elevations.
For
the
sake
of
you
know,
multiple
means
of
egress
additional
window
wells
in
the
front
right
portion
of
the
building,
which
is
a
a
bedroom,
also
has
a
full
exposure
as
well,
so
that
is
kind
of
high
arching
view
of
the
project
that
the
board
had
previously
heard
us
February.
The
7th,
which
again
is
not
changing
in
any
way.
V
V
Ceiling
height,
they
did
have
to
dig
down
to
provide
adequate
ceiling
height,
so
the
ceiling
height
is,
you
know,
certainly
up
to
code.
I
believe
is
pushing
seven
and
a
half
feet.
J
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
was
the
mayor's
office.
Neighborhood
Services,
the
sound
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Our
office
held
in
the
butter
is
meeting
on
November
21st
2022.
The
applicant
then
went
on
to
meet
with
the
River
Street
civic
association,
which
offered
their
support
in
The
Proposal,
saying
they
have
great
confidence
that
the
applicant
will
continue
to
communicate
with
his
neighbors
and
ensure
this
project
is
complete
in
a
timely
matter
that
best
suits
everyone
affected
by
our
office.
J
Also
received
I
believe
looks
like
three
letters
in
support
and
one
in
opposition
with
that
we
defer
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
If.
W
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
councilor
Brian
Worrell
in
regards
to
19
to
21
standard
Street,
having
received
three
letters
of
support,
one
of
which,
from
the
Civic
River
Street.
C
C
Prior
to
moving
forward
on
the
rest
of
these
cases,
jumping
ahead
to
the
1pm
here.
Is
there
any
request
for
withdrawals
or
deferrals
from
that
time
frame.
C
Z
Y
So
the
project
is,
is:
is
converting
an
existing
vacant
building
in
American
Square,
which
have
been
taken
for
years
not
being
utilized
and
actually
there's
a
lot
of
dumping
happening
on
the
side.
Y
So
what
my
clients
proposing
is
turn
it
into
14
elderly
housing
units,
with
with
with
support
on
the
ground
floor
in
terms
of
elderly
day
care
that
will
provide
services
and
and
function
for
for
the
for
the
tenants
and
also
for
for
a
neighborhood
elderly
that
needs
to
use
it
so
right
now
we
we
are,
we
are
proposing
to
keep
the
building
intact.
Y
Do
some
work
on
the
interior,
locating
the
elderly
day
care
and
programs
on
the
ground
floor
and
using
the
top
three
floors
to
provide
to
provide
the
units,
along
with
the
security
offices,
support
offices
and
and
other
and
other
needs
for
for
the
for
the
programs.
We
we
intend
to
do
some
very.
Y
Y
Will
be
the
the
project
you
see
as
white
and
when
you
see
the
party
everything
else,
the
way
is
where
you
see
the
Dark
Shades
will
be,
will
be
landscape
spaces
that
will
provide
a
nice
in
terms
of
Aesthetics
field
for
the
neighborhood
where
compared
to
what
is
right
now,
which
is
recently
a
kind
of
a
loving
yard.
If
you
move,
if
you
move
up
on
a
medic
slides,
which
is
very
similar
on
the
floor
plans
next
slide,
if
you
have
it
yeah
so
so
this
is.
Y
The
of
the
of
the
occupancy
where,
where
on
the
top
on
the
top
floor
here,
you'll
see
this
is
where
we'll
have
the
elderly
and
they
care
space,
then,
and
then
on
the
other
on
the
other
floors,
which
is
very
typical,
except
for
the
first
floor,
where
we'll
have,
on
the
right
hand,
side
basis.
For
a
for,
like
a
security
office,
a
a
manager's
office.
Y
C
Y
What
the
unit
will
look
like
there
will
all
be
one
bedroom
handicap
accessible
unit
that
would
that
would
be
offered
to
to
elderly
that
could
live
independently,
but
certainly
there
won't
be
some
support
on
set
on
site
if
they,
if
they
need
to
so
so.
What.
Y
Propose
something
that
is
in
dire
need
for
the
neighborhood,
a
place
where,
where
you
actually
have
Independent
Living
for
for
for
elderly
folks
and
also
having
that
program
downstairs
that
they
they
can
choose
to
to
attend
if
they
wish.
Y
So
so.
This
is
basically
the
this
is.
This
is
basically
a
unit
attack.
You
can
see
on
the
left-hand
side,
unit
type
A
and
the
right
hand
side.
You
can
type
B
I,
think
there's
about
three
million
types
in
the
building,
so
they're
all
very
generous
spaces
and
another
another
unit
attack
very
generous
with
the
with
the
with
nice
bedrooms,
Kitchen
open
floor
plans
and
the
cap,
access
bathroom,
Rush,
closets
I
think
maybe
in
the
next
try
you
may
see
the
elevations.
Y
Yeah
we
should.
We
are
not
changing
the
only
thing
we're
doing
on
the
elevation
that's
changing
is
we
are
providing
a
handicap
Brands
to
allow
you
to
get
into
the
into
the
front
and
inside
of
the
building,
we're
also
going
to
be
introducing
a
new
elk
right
now
the
building
does
not
have
an
elevator
who
will
be
providing
elevator
that
will
that
will
take
you
down
to
the
ground
floor
up
to
the
third
floor,
so
for
the
professional
before
the
handicapped,
accessible.
Y
Y
Y
Z
In
what.
Y
I
think
that's
something
that's
still
being
decided
by
my
client
in
terms
of
what's
what's
possible,
but
I
think
the
intent
is
to
have
these
be
as
affordable
as
possible.
So
I
don't
think
they
they
have
I,
don't
know
if
they
hear
that
they
may
be
able
to
speak
to
that.
But
I
do
believe
that
this
will
be
affordable.
How
the
elderly
units,
but
I,
don't
think
a
price
point
has
already
been
identified.
AA
Y
Well,
I
think
initial
initial
goal
was
to
maybe
trying
to
get
through
the
CPA
process
and
then
and
and
then
developed
the
the
program
further
and
and
get
into
those
kind
of
details.
We
have
to
be
honest
with
you.
We
have
not
done
that
quite
yet.
We
do
understand
that
we
will
have
to
meet
those
obligations.
E
AB
Z
B
E
Is
there
any
meal
service
or
these
are
really
independent
housing
units
I
mean?
Are
there
any
Community?
You
know?
Is
there
a
meal
facility
here.
AB
There
will
be
no
new
facility
there.
These
are
really
independent
housing
units.
F
Y
I
think
I
think
the
honor
may
require
me
when
I
chime
in
but
I
I.
As
far
as
a
foreign
operating
Adult,
Day
Care
my
clients
currently
I
operate
two
of
them.
One.
Y
Lot
of
experience
dealing
with
with
don't
take
care
and
providing
that
service,
then
Pat.
It
I
think
for
almost
10.
Y
Two
separate
Adult,
Day
kids
I've
been
very
successful.
Y
The
housing
piece
is
new,
and
and
and
that's
where
I
come
in-
to
to
provide
the
support
in
terms
of
the
design
and
things
like
that.
Z
Y
These
are,
clients
are
very
well
versed
in
in
elderly
needs
and
and
they've
been
operating
through
adult
day
jobs
in
the
city
in
in
their
own
for
two
years,
for
almost
10
years
now,.
F
Okay
and
then
I
have
one
follow-up
question
I
am
chair,
but
just
in
terms
of
the
the
site,
design
I
mean
I,
think
you
know.
Obviously
we're
focused
on
it's
forbidden
elderly
housing
as
a
use
in
the
conditional
daycare.
But
as
we
look
at
the
site
plan
here
and
as
you
mentioned,
that
it's
going
to
be
all
affordable
income
restricted,
which
would
mean
that
you
could
alter
the
number
of
parking
spaces.
F
Possibly
have
you
chosen
to
have
the
patio
for
the
residents
to
be
basically
as
far
away
from
the
building
as
possible,
just
seems
to
run
incongruent
with
a
population
that
may
have
some
limited
mobility,
and
you
have
a
lot
of
other
open
space
options.
So
yeah
I'm
curious
to
hear
the
comment
but
I.
Imagine
if
we
take
this
forward,
there
needs
to
be
further
BPD
design,
review.
Y
Thinking
is
is
allowing
the
the
patio
space
to
be
a
more
quiet
part
of
the
of
the
site
where
the
clients
can
actually
enjoy
through
kind
of
a
quiet
time
away
from
the
from
the
traffic
it's
kind
of
a
busy
corner
and
also
away
from
the
parking
coming
in
and
out.
Y
So
you
know
we
are
providing
some
parking
space
here
because,
as
you
know,
we
more
than
we
need
I
bet
that
we
will
have
that
daycare
downstairs
and
that
you
know
that
will
there
will
be
some
employee
parking
needs,
there
will
be
some
visitor
needs,
so
we're
providing
that,
but
I
mean
the
reason
why
we
decided
to
put
it
at
the
end
of
the
slide,
because
after
us,
and
certainly
will
be
open
to
different
different
interpretations
of
different
ways
of
looking
at
it,
providing
a
kind
of
a
respite
for
the
clients
as
a
prisoner
where
they
can
go
and
just
in
the
sit
down
and
acquire
and
have
a
conversation
and
try
the
customer.
O
J
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
sport
our
office
element
Butters
meeting
on
September
1st
2022,
where
it
was
lightly
intended.
The
applicant
went
on
to
meet
with
a
Butters
and
secure
a
petition
of
29
surrounding
businesses.
In
the
area
that
expressed
support
for
this
proposal,
they
took
a
deferral
to
decrease
the
size
so
as
to
not
go
through
an
article
80
process.
J
They
met
with
the
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
Council,
which
expressed
that
they
would
like
to
see
the
applicant
return
back
to
the
gmnc
and
present
to
the
full
board.
The
recommendation
is
as
follows:
recommendation
from
GMC
borders
to
have
the
proponent
present
before
the
larger
gmnc
body.
Her
opponent
did
not
present
any
benefits
to
the
immediate
Community.
It
was
pointed
out
that
the
proposed
tenants
were
existing
users
of
the
proponis
daycare
sites.
Gmc
board
wants
to
ensure
that
a
larger
audience
hears
the
proposal.
J
The
applicants
said
they'd
be
happy
to
propose
happy
to
meet
with
the
with
the
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
Council,
but
Express
concerns
that
if
a
vote
was
deferred
today
for
their
CBA
decision,
this
could
dramatically
impact
the
financial
feasibility
of
the
project.
With
that
we'll
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
R
Hi
boss,
yes,
hi
Bob,
D'amico,
BTD,
Madam,
chair
lady
and
members
of
the
board.
I
think
this
is
a
great
project
but
I'm
just
thinking
of
the
convenience
of
those
Canadian
access
and
egress
to
the
parking
area,
and
there
will
be
loading
and
unloading
regardless
of
this
not
being
a
business.
There
will
be
times
when
deliveries
will
be
made
and
I
would
like
to
see
the
area
where
deliveries
could
park,
because
if
there
isn't
then
there'll
be
blocking
parking
spaces.
R
And
finally,
I
would
like
to
see
the
the
what
the
footage
is
for
the
parking
spaces
only
because
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there's
ample
convenience
for
anyone
gaining
access
to
the
parking
area
and
those
gaining
access
and
egress
just
to
make
sure
that
it's
going
to
be
easy
for
all
the
visitors
to
like
I,
said
gain
access
and
egress.
R
Y
I
can
address
that
I'm.
The
the
the
parking
spots
themselves
are
a
10
by
20.
she's,
a
little
bit
more
than
a
9x18
that
can
normally
require.
We
have
the
aisles
of
more
than
20
feet
of
wide,
so
certainly
and
all
before,.
Y
We'll
make
sure
that
all
that
is
documented
obstruction,
Revenue
level,
but
then
also
you
know,
if
you're
with
mpdna,
if
the,
if
the
board
wanted
to
put
the
supervisor,
because
I
do
hear
your
concerns
about
being
able
to
for
delivery
and
that
impact
the
the
parking
area
so
certainly
could
look
at
ways
where
maybe
because
this
is
a
corner
site,
so
there
could
be
a
there
could
be
a
way
where
we
could
create
another
entry
on
on
on
the
other
Street
to
just
for
delivery.
Y
That
will
not
impact
the
current
glucose
parking
area.
I'll,
probably
take
a
little
bit
out
of
the
green
space.
That's
not
only
that
it's
a
big
site,
you
know
we're
not
we're
not
adding
to
the
building,
so
the
building
is
guys
a
will,
keep
his
historic
look.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
create
something
as
far
as
the
grounds
are
concerned,
that
would
certainly
meet
all
these
concerns.
R
Just
a
minor
issue:
if
you
construct
another
curb
cut,
that'll
change
the
project
from
a
traffic
and
parking
perspective,
you
know
quite
a
bit
and.
Y
Already
exists
but
suddenly
we'll
we'll
take
a
look
at
that,
but
but,
like
I
said
they're
even
on
bad
sensory
itself,
there
are
two
criminals
on
that
street
and
we're
proposing
right
now
to
block
one
for
her
to
provide
more
agree
with
one
open
to
allow
for
for
the
for
the
for
the
the
auditory
issues
that
you
you're
bringing
up.
But
you
know,
like
I
said
you
know
there
are
so
many
opportunities
on
this
site.
Y
Actually
you
know
we
we're
using
more
party
than
we
need,
so
we
wanted
to
default
the
amount
of
research
as
much
as
possible.
So
certainly
We
There
are
ways
for
us
to
address
the
concerns
you
have.
While
we
were
doing.
R
Okay,
well,
thank
you
so
much
it's
a
wonderful
project.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it
works
well
for
all
those
that
will
be
visiting.
L
R
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
concern.
Thank.
A
You
no,
this
is
Javier.
Sorry,
just
a
clarifying
question.
The
number
of
units
were
used
is
the
parking
number
also
reduced,
I.
Think
that's
on
the
planes.
They.
Y
Y
Well,
I
mean
I
think
the
building
overall
building
itself
made
between
football.
The
program
itself
is
a
lot
less
than
twenty
thousand
square
feet.
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
you
know.
This
is
an
old
school
there's,
a
lot
of
areas
that
would
not
be
used.
They
were,
there
will
be
a
lot
of
I
mean
I,
don't
think
you
can
count
the
utility
areas
and
things
like
that
into
the
square
foot
chart.
Y
Also,
if
you,
if
you
were
to
add
up
the
programs,
I
think
we
I
think
you,
you
will
end
up
somewhere
around,
like
18
000
square
feet,
18
to
20,
000
Square.

While
on
the
bottom
end
of
the
adult
day,
Health
Center,
we
will
be
managing
it
as
we
do
the
other
two
sectors,
the
other
centers
are
for
everyone
else.
You'll
see,
there's
one
on
Truman
Parkway
and
there's
one
on
60
million
Street
in
data.
So
we've
had
those.
E
AB
We
actually
have
and
I
did
meet
with
with
the
company,
and
so
they've
asked
for
a
couple
of
documentation,
as
well
as
some
plans
and
some
spreadsheets
of
the
access
system
off
to
them.
So
who
waiting
to
hear
back.
E
AB
E
Q
F
Know
sort
of
it
seems
a
little
out
of
seat
in
this
panado
I
think
it
feels
a
little
out
of
sequence
and
I
feel
like
we're
hearing,
also
that
it's
going
to
be
100
income
restricted,
but
that
has
to
be
captured
somewhere,
especially
if
it
doesn't
go
through
article
80
small
project.
So
that
has
to
be
captured
here.
So
yeah.
E
Y
AB
Going
to
Market
loan
funding
units
for
the
for
the
potential
people
for
the
consensual
Talent,
we
we
sent
out
an
application
for
funding
on
our
own,
but
that's
set
up
into
this
project.
Our
goal
is
to
provide
low-income
apartments
for
the
potential
tenant,
but
we
do
plan
on
getting
additional
funding.
We
have
funding
of
our
own
when
we
plan
on
getting
additional
loans
to
fund
this
project,
but
the
people
who
we
want
to
cater
to
are
low
income,
elderly
and
that's
who
we
want
to
attendance.
There.
Y
If
I
can
just
jump
in
I
I
think
the
burden
is
is
on
the
client.
Actually
I
mean
their
the
overall
goal
of
the
the
100
affordable
housing
I
mean
by
the
ipd
ipd
requirement.
They
will
at
the
minimum.
They
will
have
to
provide
the
true
the
two
units
as
affordable.
So
that's
that's
a
given
and
I
think
I
think
what
the
goal
is
is
to
exceed
that
and
and
I
think.
A
lot
of
that
I
think
they're
pushed
right
now
is
to
use
their
own
funding.
Y
If
you
need
an
attraction
to
make
that
happen,
it's
kind
of
a
goal
of
turning
this
building
into
this
community
Jewel
for
for
the
Neighbors
I
think
as
far
as
we're
concerned
here.
Right
now
for
this,
for
this
board
is,
is,
is
trying
to
get
get
to
the
the
long
process
of
dealing
with
the
bpda
and
and
and
and
and
this
will
just
take
a
little
while
before
we
actually
can
go
to
ISD
for
permitting.
Y
So
all
this
could
be
happening
concurrently,
but
I
think
the
burden
on
them
to
actually
meet
the
to
to
achieve
their
goal
of
having
the
entire
building
be
available
to
to
to
low-income
Generations
on
them.
But
the
the
overall
okay.
B
I
think
the
only
thing
we
could
say
right
now
is
we're
looking
at
a
project
that
is,
is
seeking
relief
for
14,
independent
elderly
housing
units
plus
Adult
Day
health
I.
Don't
think
we
can
speak
to
the
affordability
other
than
their
their
IDP
requirements,
so
they
can,
if
they
can
say
whatever
they
like
about
the
other
stuff.
But
what
what
I
see
before
us
is
14
units
with
the
minimum
IDP
units
required,
and
that
is
what
we
should
be
considering.
I.
E
Td
design
review
and
with
a
Proviso
that
they
seek
to
maximize
compliance
with
IDP
and
affordability
and
that
there
be
some
bpda
bpda
attention
to
Landscaping.
E
T
I
F
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
be
on
the
record
too
that
I'm
not
clear
how
article
80
small
project
did
not
apply,
but
the
provisions
seem
helpful
in
capturing
it.
Yes,.
O
P
Called,
let
me
see.
A
A
Yeah
they're,
not
here
I,
would
recommend
it.
If
you
want
okay.
C
C
U
B
C
AC
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago
and
Drago
and
Toscano
with
the
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
Noel
De
Carlo
and
I
also
have
Adam
Glassman
the
architect
who's
here
as
well
on
the
call
The
Proposal,
which
this
rendering
here
shows
the
proposed
building
is
to
erect
a
new
residential,
a
four-unit
building
with
three
interior
parking
spaces
to
go
along
with
that
building
on
a
vacant
on
a
vacant
lot.
AC
This
particular
sub-district
zoning
sub-district
is
a
3F
2000
and
our
lot
size
is
over
that
it's
2813
square
feet.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
Madame
ambassador.
This
shows
the
existing
parcel
you
can
see.
The
building
to
the
left
of
ours
is
an
apartment
complex
at
four
stories.
Our
building
match
match
that
with
height
and
included
parking
on
that
ground
level.
If
you
see
the
the
two
family
building
the
yellow
building,
that's
pushed
back.
AC
My
client
purchased
that
building
as
well
and
has
agreed
with
the
community
to
keep
that
building
and
then
maintain
and
Lance
escape
the
front
which
we
worked
on
with
the
Jeffrey's
Point
neighborhood
association
and
our
director
Butters.
As
you
go
a
little
further,
you
can
see
our
first
floor
would
house
the
main
entry
of
the
building.
It
would
also
house
our
bike
room
and
a
trash
room
in
our
parking
area.
AC
T
AC
On
the
fourth
floor,
two
bedroom
at
1483
square
feet:
we've
worked
with
community
outreach
on
this
project
for
over
a
year
a
year
and
a
half,
and
in
that
process
we've
made
a
number
of
changes
to
the
project.
One
of
them
is
removing
our
side
decks
and
increasing
ice,
our
side,
yard
and
rear
yard.
Our
rear
yard
is
now
35
feet.
One
inch
the
recommended
Asian
and
that's
what
we
followed
from
the
ppda
board
was
to
recommend
support,
with
emphasis
on
reducing
the
decks
and
the
rare
ER,
and
that's
what
we
did
so.
AC
We
now
have
35
feet,
one
inches
from
our
setback
to
the
building
and
28
feet:
seven
inches
from
our
rear
porches.
Those
reports
will
also
serve
as
a
second
means
of
egress
from
the
building.
AC
We
also
sprinkler
have
a
proposing
a
sprinkler
system
on
those
rare
arches,
as
well
as
non-combustible
material
in
working
with
our
rear
of
butter,
suggested
that
we
also
have
in
place
a
landscape
plan
in
the
rear
of
this
property,
an
extensive
plan
that
we've
worked
with
neighbors
on
at
the
rear
of
130,
but
also
in
the
front
of
132
just
to
go
over
the
zoning
violations.
One
minimum
lot
size
required.
We
would
be
a
thousand
square
feet.
Additional
would
be
required.
AC
Our
SAR,
although
in
our
changes
we
brought
it
down
from
1.74
to
1.69.
What's
allowable
is
1.0,
so
we
would
still
need
an
far
variance.
The
height
of
the
building
is
36
feet.
35
is
what's
allowable
under
the
code.
We
are
at
four
stories,
but
we
do
have
a
four-story
building
to
the
left
of
us.
AC
Our
side,
setbacks,
which
we
increased,
are
now
two
foot
five
on
the
left
which
meets
the
code,
but
then
two
feet
on
the
right,
so
we'll
be
slightly
unders
parking
just
to
go
over
so
that
parking
spaces
are
all
interior.
We
have
three
we
originally
had
had
four,
but
our
rare
Butters
and
cider
Butters
asked
us
to
push
that
building
in
further,
along
with
the
bpda's
recommendation,
so
we
did
lose
one
spot,
but
it
really
helped
with
the
functionality
of
the
existing
three
spaces.
This
is
90
your
location.
J
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor
of
South's
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
ons
hosting
a
Butters
meeting
for
this
proposal
on
June
7th
of
2022.
Summer
Butters,
expressed
concerns
regarding
the
lack
of
parking
in
the
area,
the
height
of
the
building
in
the
rear,
decks.
Other
Butters
complemented
the
Aesthetics
of
the
design
and
the
developer's
willingness
to
work
with
the
community
throughout
the
process.
J
The
app
can
also
met
with
the
Jeffrey's
Point
neighborhood
association
in
June,
September
and
October.
The
group
voted
to
oppose
the
project
with
18
residents,
voting
against
and
seven
in
support.
Those
in
opposition
Express
concerns
regarding
parking.
Our
office
received
40
letters
of
support,
one
of
them
coming
from
a
directed
butter,
and
we
also
received
13
letters
in
opposition,
two
of
those
coming
from
residents
from
the
city
of
Chelsea,
with
that
we
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you.

Okay,

I
am
John,
Salley
I
live
at

modular
street
I'm,
a
director
to
at
least
project
I
would
like
to
say
that
my
wife
and
I
are
in
support
of
this
project.
We
feel
that
it
fits
the
neighborhood
well
the
developer.
Some
has
worked
with
us
in
in
the
neighborhood
to
make
Federal
changes
with
the
project
and
we
and
they
have
made
those
changes.
T
T
As
I
said,
we
think
this
product
makes
sense,
I
think
it's
the
area
and
my
wife
and
I
are
in
complete
support
of
speech
involvement
on

sorry

I
was
just
trying
to
get
get
let
in

I'm

Oh.

Sorry
about
that,
okay,

Hi
yeah
I'm,
located
to
Lansing
corner

yep
Nicoletta
Longo
to
limson
court
unit.
One
I'm
in
support
I
appreciate
that
they're
keeping
the
existing
yellow
house
and
I
really
like
the
design
and
the
fact
that
they
listen
to
The
Neighbors.
AF
Teresa
drum
80
Cottage
Street
unit,
one
I
really
like
the
way
the
building
looks
comparable
to
what's
on
the
street
and
I
love
the
fact
that
they're
restoring
a
building
that
I
believe
was
going
to
be
a
tear
down
in
the
past.
It's
beautiful
and
the
fact
that
it's
been
vacant
and
that
they're
going
to
restore
that
building
and
it
sounds
like
they're
only
adding
one
part.
One
street
parking
space
with
now
six
units
available
in
that
beautiful
neighborhood,
so
I
am
for
it.
Thank.
O
AA
B
B
Can
you
introduce
yourself
in
what
your
proposal
proposing
what.
Q
We
are
proposing
to
raise
the
existing
garage
and
then
rebuild
the
new
garage,
which
is
slightly
larger
because
it
is
excess,
rebuilding,
there's
a
Max
height
of
15
feet
and
we
are
requesting
1510
and
then
also
the
side
yards
in
sufficient,
where
we
need
to
be
at
three
feet
and
we
are
at
one
feet.
The
existing
garage
is
pretty
much
right
on
the
property
line,
so
we
are
offsetting
that
one
for
it
to
give
a
little
bit
more
space
on
the
right
side.
Q
We
are.
The
existing
garage
is
16
by
18
feet
in
the
proposed
garage
room
of
18
by
28..
We
said
we
are
pushing
it
back
a
little
bit
the
existing
garages
built
100
years
ago,
so
it
is
foreign
autism
cracks
in
this
lab
and
I
was
just
undersized
and
doesn't
really
affect
the
size.
It
doesn't
really
car
that
we
are
looking
to
do.
We
did
have
a
neighborhood
meeting
in
the
Civic
meeting.
Q
We
did
get
letters
of
support
from
the
director
Brothers
left
here
on
the
right
and
also
the
two
director
of
hunters
to
the
real
property
in
Austin.
Pretty
I.
Take
any
questions.
B
Fairly
straightforward
may
I
have
all
the
testimony.
B
C
AD
U
No
okay,
so
I'll
get
started.
First,
we've
had
a
few
great
neighborhood
meetings
and
we
have
the
support
of
the
Jamaica
Plain.
Neighborhood
can.
B
You
walk
us
through
the
proposal
itself,
we'll
hear
from
we'll
hear
about
the
community
piece
sure.
U
Yes,
there
is
a
site
here
with
four
buildings
that
have
87
units
currently
having
all
their
laundry
office
to
community
space
in
the
footprint
of
one
basement
in
accessible
apartment.
So
we've
worked
with
a
client
to
fix
that
situation
and
make
all
of
the
laundry
offices
community
space
accessible.
U
The
most
efficient
way
we
found
to
do
this
is
to
bring
the
community
and
office
function
up
to
at
grade
a
new
construction
building
that
drawing
there
you're
looking
at
actually
illustrates.
One
reason
why
we
need
a
new
construction
freestanding
building.
We
looked
at
attached
buildings,
but
that
web
of
utilities
really
limits
where
we
can
effectively
place
a
new
addition
without
incurring
great
costs,
moving
all
sorts
of
utility
lines.
U
So
this
hearing
is
about
the
single-family
new
construction
building,
specifically,
although
it
is
part
of
a
larger
conceptual
design
that
has
an
improved
community
room,
making
it
accessible
changing
where
the
maintenance
staff
is
located,
bringing
the
laundry
up
to
grade
in
part
of
an
existing
building,
and
if
you
want
to
move
on
to
the
next
slide,.
L
U
U
Okay,
we'll
work
with
that,
so
that
is
the
current
state
of
the
elevations
of
the
exterior
of
this
new
construction
building.
U
As
you
see
it's
one
story,
there's
an
entry
area
with
a
reception
and
then
there's
also
a
little
office
space,
a
little
workspace
bathroom,
two
offices
for
the
community
manager
and
the
residential
services
coordinator
and
there's
a
conference
room
for
private
meetings
with
clients.
U
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
know,
but
this
is
an
affordable
housing
development,
so
people
come
in
and
discuss
their
finances
and
other
personal
personal
situations
like
Alice
is
the
Financial
Consultant
on
the
project.
So
I'm
not
fully
aware
of
those
programs,
she
can
describe
them
if
needed.
U
You'll
see,
there's
we're
looking
at
this
as
a
pretty
simple
form
we
have.
We
have
metal,
roofing
and
vertical
siding
on
one
section
and
we're
differentiating
the
lower
section.
Initially
we
had
shown
a
stone
veneer.
We
may
change
that
to
a
horizontal
cladding.
U
U
The
other
packet
that
I
thought
we
were
viewing
does
show
a
3D
view
of
the
project.
You
can't
see
this
building
from
neighboring
or
rear
of
Butters
and
for
most
of
Forest
Hill
Street.
You
can
see
the
building
the
top
of
it
anyway
from
one
part
of
an
open
parking
area
on
site.
So
we
think
it
has
minimal
visual
impact,
but
it
greatly
improves
the
the
daily
lives
of
staff
and
residents
at
the
project.
U
N
Yes,
I
have
been
trying
to
get
on
since
the
beginning.
I
am
Harold.
Thompson
I
am
president
of
Forest
Hills
housing,
cooperative
and
87
Union,
affordable
housing
development
owned
by
its
residents
since
1983..
We
are
here
today
to
ask
you
for
zoning
reference
so
that
we
can
build
a
community
service
center
for
our
residents.
N
The
1960s
era,
design
of
our
development
did
not
consider
the
needs
of
the
disabled
or
that
for
that
matter,
parents
with
children
and
strollers
every
apartment
and
community
space
is
at
least
a
half
a
flight
of
stairs
from
the
entrance
to
our
building.
The
new
community
service
center
will
be
a
story,
but
one
story
building
in
the
courtyard
between
our
four
buildings
that
will
be
accountable
to
all
residents.
It
will
also
be
a
confidential
spaces
where
residents
can
meet
with
staff.
The
community
service
center
will
not
be
visible
to
our
immediate
neighbors.
N
It
will
be
put
particularly
visible
from
Forest
Hill
Street,
as
you
will
see
within
our
architect's
presence
the
design.
We
do
not
believe
it
will
have
an
impact
on
our
neighbors,
but
we
will
have
a
beneficial
impact
for
the
87
households
at
The.
Cooperative,
we
hope
you
will
grant
our
request
for
a
variance.
Thank
you.
Thank.

Madam

At
this
time
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
backer
information
on
the
community
process.
Our
office
facilitated
into
Butters
meeting
on
January
23rd
2023.
The
applicant
then
went
on
to
meet
with
the
Jamaica
Plain
neighborhood
Council
zoning
committee,
which
approved
this
proposal
on
March
1st,
no
opposition,
Was
Heard
throughout
the
community
process.
At
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.

You
any
was
that
may
I

O
O
X
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Mark
Lucas
Lucas
75
Arlington
Street
in
Boston,
represent
the
homeowners,
Manuel
and
Pauline
defrain
of
this
single-family
home
in
Bay
Village.
This
is
a
very
minimal
request
for
Relief,
with
respect
to
a
small
expansion
of
an
existing
deck
at
the
rear
of
the
building
on
the
third
level.
I'll
explain
the
condition
of
the
rear
yard
here
on
the
screen
on
the
site
plan.
X
If
you
can
enlarge
that
a
little
bit
more
great,
so
you
see,
number
31
is
an
existing
four-story,
brick
building
number
33
next
door
and
then
number
40,
42
Piedmont
Street
in
the
back.
I'll
share
this
little
common
Courtyard
light
well
in
the
back
of
the
buildings
and
they've
been
doing
a
whole
bunch
of
projects
back
there
fixing
their
masonry
walls,
sharing
scaffolding
and
things
of
that
nature.
X
The
sole
violation
with
respect
to
that
is
article
6,
section
8
of
Bay
Village,
which
is
cited
for
rear
yard
insufficiency,
but
that
section
also
provides
that
we
need
a
conditional
use
permit,
because
this
constitutes
a
balcony
above
the
first
story,
so
to
the
extent
that
it
is
a
violation
for
the
rear
yard
insufficiency
and
the
conditional
use
permit
for
a
deck
above.
The
first
story,
We
request
both
next
slide.
Please.
X
X
Okay,
if
you
can
enlarge
this
one
on
the
lower
left
hand
corner,
you
can
see.
The
new
deck
is
about
four
feet
and
some
inches
by
eight
feet.
The
little
dotted
line
shows
the
area
of
the
expansion
to
the
right
of
the
dotted
line
is
the
existing
deck
and
there's
a
walk-out
set
of
double
doors
from
the
dining
area
at
that
level,
and
that's
the
that's
the
extent
of
our
request.
I
Hi
good
afternoon,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board
Kim
crucially
from
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
May's
office
I,
would
like
to
defrost
the
board
on
this
matter.
Our
office
held
in
a
Butters
meeting
in
March
of
2022,
where
any
concerns
brought
up
by
our
brothers
were
addressed
by
the
applicant.
Thank
you.
P
M
F
B
I
G
Yes,
Madam
chair:
this
is
Eric
zackerson
architect
for
the
project
we've
been
asked
by
is
or
by
the
zoning
board
Stephanie
Haynes
to
asper
deferral,
as
during
the
re-review.
There
are
an
additional
violation
was
cited
and
they
need
to
re-notice
the
project.
We're
ready
to
go
forward
so
we'd
like
it
as
soon
as
possible,
but
it
just
needs
to
be
re-noticed.
Thank.
AG
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Julie
I'm,
okay,
you
have
a
legal
counsel
with
the
applicant
East
Boston
Neighborhood
Health
Center
I
am
joined
here
by
the
attorney
Kathleen
brilli
Hawaii
and
our
architect
representative,
Daniel
Buckley
of
East
annuity.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board
for
having
us
today.
Our
project
aims
to
expand
physical
access
to
the
Health
Center's
geriatric
program
for
frail
seniors
in
the
community.
We
propose
to
renovate
our
Administrative
Building
on
Orleans
street
by
adding
clinical
exam
rooms,
so
we
could
operate
a
senior
care
center.
AG
So,
as
many
of
you
know,
the
health
center
has
been
in
the
community
for
over
50
years.
We
are
the
largest
community
health
center
in
Massachusetts
governed
by
a
patient
board.
We
provide
care
to
more
than
100
20
000
patients
a
year,
including
a
large
population
that
is
uninsured,
please
next
slide.
AG
The
project
represented
today
is
part
of
our
East
Boston
campus,
where
we
have
several
clinical
buildings
and
program
sites.
We
are
actually
serving
about
60
of
all
East
Boston
residents
and
about
half
of
our
1500
staff
are
from
the
service
area.
Next
slide,
please
so
by
adding
Clinical
Services
at
the
currently
Administrative
Building,
we
would
be
able
to
operate
our
program,
all
inclusive
care
for
the
elderly
or
Pace
for
short,
that
helps
betrayal
seniors
in
their
homes
in
the
community
instead
of
nursing
homes
by
providing
comprehensive
medical,
social
and
recreational
Services.
AG
AG
So
the
location
is
147,
163,
Orleans
Street,
it's
just
a
short
walk
from
Maverick
to
station
next
slide
again,
thank
you
here.
You
can
see
a
perspective
alone,
Orleans
and
Gulf
streets,
so
the
building
consists
of
two
connected
buildings.
One
single
story
on
the
right
and
the
other
is
true
story
and
the
building
is
located
right
across
from
the
Health
Center's
employee
parking
right
right
across
Orleans
Street
and
then
next
slide.
Please-
and
here
is
just
a
close-up
image
of
the
current
front
building
front
of
the
building,
showing
the
connection.
AG
Point
and
I'll
now
turn
over
to
Kathleen
to
provide
detail
on
the
usage
on
the
current
uses
and
relief.
We
are
requesting,
and
you
can
please
turn
to
next
slide.
AH
Good
afternoon,
just
briefly,
there's
something
you
believe
that
we
are
here
for
is
for
a
use
variants
to
allow
clinical
Healthcare
uses,
so
the
existing
uses
at
the
site
include
office
and
administrative
use.
Those
are
presently
authorized
and
would
remain.
The
primary
Edition
is
adult
daycare
which
is
allowed
to
use
in
the
district,
but
Healthcare
clinical
uses
are
forbidden,
and
that
is
the
reason
we
are
here
to
seek
a
variance
for
that.
AH
None,
no
dimensional
relief
is
required
for
the
project.
It
consists
primarily
of
interior
Renovations,
with
a
small,
exterior
vestibule,
that's
going
to
be
added,
but
no
other
dimensional
relief
or
any
other
use
relief
is
required
under
the
code
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Danielle
to
go
over
the
design.
AI
From
Daniel
Buckley
principle
of
Ingenuity
and
the
architect
for
the
project,
this
is
a
high
level
sketch
of
the
interior
of
the
project.
The
pace
programs
for
the
elderly
consists
of
three
major
components
which
we're
highlighting
here
in
the
bottom
left.
You
will
see
the
clinic
portion
of
that
and
that
allows
the
elderly
patients
could
come
and
be
seen
by
Health
Care
Providers,
while
on
site,
it's
also
a
day
program
that
allows
them
for
socialization
meals.
AI
Another
Personal
Care
help,
as
well
as
the
physical
therapy,
which
you
can
see
in
the
in
the
top
left,
and
so,
as
Kathleen
mentioned,
the
the
real
issue
of
basic
Clinic
program
in
the
bottom
left,
which
is
a
small
component
but
introduced
you,
the
services
that
need
to
be
provided.
There
is
a
new
vestibule
that
we
are
proposing
in
the
top
right
and
that
is
sort
of
a
minimal
size,
80
square
feet
just
to
allow
for
some
mediation
between
indoor
and
outdoor
for
the
patients
and
the
two
Builders
are
currently
connected.
AI
AI
F
AG
F
Bill
mention
no
okay,
all
right
well
being
urge
it's
a
bit
drab
looking
and
I
would
like
to
I
think
roll
up
to
one
of
the
earlier
slides
there
and
just
make
an
encouragement
of
the
health
center
to
consider
any
kind
of
Street
trees.
F
If
you'll
see
one
of
the
images
earlier
on
I
noticed
this
one
going
through
your
presentation
that
you
can
see
that
the
entire
area
there
is
pretty
well
covered
with
Street
trees,
except
for
the
whole
block,
basically
of
around
the
health
center,
so
just
encourage
since
you're
trying
to
do
things
to
help
encourage
better
health
for
people.
East
Boston
has
pretty
low
tree
canopy.
So
thank
you.
R
Yes,
Madam,
chair
I
am
thank
you
chair
members
of
the
board,
Bob
D'amico
of
Oxford
transportation
department.
My
only
question
is
has
to
do
with
persons
with
disability
parking
unless
I
missed
it.
I
didn't
see
any
spaces
to
accommodate
this.
This
important
need
and
by
the
way
I
was
a
former
board
member
of
the
Boston
Health
Center,
so
I'm
quite
familiar
with
the
organization,
and
it
does
tremendous
amount
of
good
for
the
East
Boston
and
surrounding
communities,
but
I
just
worried
about
the
person
with
disabilities
parking.
AG
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Danielle
I
can
answer
with
your
help.
So
based
on
the
PACE
program
models,
so
most
patients
will
arrive
and
depart
by
the
Health
Center's
band
transportation
and
we'll
have
a
side
drop
off
area
as
Danielle
described
for
those
purposes.
But
we
will
also
reconfigure
any
the
drawback,
the
drop-off
area,
with
the
ADA
compliance.
AI
Now
I
can
keep
covered
it
so
part
of
adding
the
vegetables
to
allow
for
the
drop
off
for
patients,
and
in
doing
that,
you
know
additional
Ada
sponsors
required.
R
J
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
deferred
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
background
information
from
the
community
process.
The
applicant
met
with
the
Gove
Street
citizens
Association
in
February
and
March
of
this
year.
The
group
voted
to
support
the
project
unanimously.
J
B
H
O
AA
C
K
I
am
Madam
Secretary
secretary
Elizabeth,
so
good
evening.
Good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Derek
small
I,
have
a
business
address
of
51
Dobson
Road
in
Braintree
Mass
today
we're
here
seeking
relief
to
change
the
legal
occupancy
of
the
building
from
a
one
family
dwelling
two
or
three
family
dwelling.
K
The
zoning
sub
District
here
is
a
2f2000.
A
lot
size
is
approximately
2500
square
feet
is
it
only.
Violations
are
as
follows:
three
family
uses
of
forbidden
use
in
the
two
after
zoning
sub-district,
the
Far
Far
requirement
is
0.8.
We
are
proposing
1.1
side
yard
violation
is
two
and
a
half
feet.
We
are
at
two
and
a
half
feet
and
we
are.
We
think
we
were
excited
for
that
erroneously
and
the
rear
yard
setback
is
requirement,
is
a
30,
it's
30
feet
and
we
have
20.
and
again
those
violations
are
pre-existing
non-conforming.
K
What
it
is
is
it's
going
to
be
a
gut
rehab
of
the
of
the
building
interior
and
exterior
unit.
One
will
consist
of
a
one
bedroom
unit
with
approximately
2
000
square
feet.
Unit
2
will
be
1100
square
feet,
two
bedrooms,
one
bath
and
unit.
Three
on
the
third
floor
will
be
one
bedroom
one
bath
at
approximately
630
square
feet.
Alphonse
didn't
have
entertain
any
questions
that
the
board
might
have
just
feeling,
quick
as
a
side
note
to
Madam
chair.
K
We
are
currently
being
taxed
as
HB
family
through
the
city
of
Boston's
assessment,
Department.
E
And
it's,
and
it's
also
on
a
coastal
flood
District
so
and
you've
got
living
in
the
basement
basement
occupancy.
K
We
are
proposing
a
playroom
for
the
family
in
the
in
the
basement.
No,
no
bedrooms
again
and
again.
We
do
have
our
g-card
no
harm
letter
and
we
didn't
receive
g-card
letter
of
support
from
groundwater.
Trust.
E
J
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time
the
mayor's
office
deferred
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
It
looks
like
a
Butter's
meeting
was
held
back
in
2021
with
OMS
the
applicant
met
with
the
eagle
Hill
civic
association
in
January
and
February
of
2022..
The
group
voted
to
oppose
with
11
residents
against
and
three
in
support
members
voice
being
displeased
with
the
proposed
Hardy
plank
siding
as
they
stated.
J
W
H
K
Chair
may
I
respond
to
that
sure.
So
when
we
met
with
eagle
Hill,
their
primary
concern
was
with
regard
to
the
exterior
of
the
building.
We
had
suggested
that
you
know
the
bpda
would
not
in
design
review
would
not
allow
for
any
aluminum
siding.
It
would
probably
do
nothing
less
than
Hardy
plank
on
the
side.
K
I
think
members
of
the
eagle
Hill
civil
Association
weren't,
satisfied
with
the
comment
that
you
know
bpda
would
have
design
review
over
the
project,
and
then
you
know
with
regard
to
Hardy
black,
but
we're
we
expressed
to
them
that
we're
willing
to
do
whatever
the
bpda
suggested
in
design
review.
With
regard
to
the
exterior
and
with
regard
to
support,
I
think
we,
the
opponent,
the
applicants,
went
around
and
got
a
number
of
support.
Letters
that
are
in
should
be
in
the
in
the
file
for
this.
For
this
application.
K
E
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
what
the
following
provides:
those
that
there'll
be
no
building
code
relief,
no
building
code
relief
be
granted
no
living
space
allowed
in
the
basement.
Given
that
it's
it's
in
a
coastal
flood
resiliency
overlay,
District
of
bpda
design
review.
