An

the
covent

has
just
adjusted
my
client's
timeline

a

that

just
been
adjusted.
Otherwise
we're
prepared
to

keep
working

the

The

A
You

That's
all.
E
I
Thank

Thank
you
very
much
good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
dennis
quilty
attorney
representing
the
applicant
with
me
this
morning,
is
ross
bradshaw,
the
principal
of
nudia
llc,
which
was
granted
relief
with
a
decision
of
april
17
2021,
which
had
a
proviso
to
this
petitioner.
Only
the
request
is,
mr
bradshaw
would
like
to
change
the
name
of
the
entity,
no
other
changes
from
nudia
llc
to
new
dia
fenway
llc
to
particularize
the
the
location
of
this
site.
I
A
Okay,
so
this
is,
this
has
been
approved
by
the
candidates
board
and
new
name
has
been
registered.
Yes,
sir
okay,
that
is,
I
would
say,
de
minimis.
Can
I
have
a
motion.
Please
motion.

E

Good
morning,
chairman
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
morancy,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
at
350,
west
broadway
in
south
boston,
chairman
members.
This
my
client
is
eastway
development,
charles
mccarthy
and
patrick
mcdevitt.
On
october
27
2020
the
board
approved
this
application.
Part
of
the
application
is
for
parking
for
the
project.
In
an
automated
parking
system,
the
board
approved
plans
depicting
11
garage
parking
spaces.
The
assumption
was
that
the
parking
system
which
has
12
sleds
would
require
one
to
be
open
at
all
times.
L
Therefore,
live
in
parking
spaces,
as
it
turns
out
once
the
manufacturers
specifications
were
analyzed.
There
needs
to
be
two
vacant
splits
at
all
times
in
the
system,
which
means
that
instead
of
11
parking
spaces,
there
would
be
10
parking
spaces.
Isd
asked
that
we
present
this
to
board
final
operator
for
board
consideration
and
approval
of
the
reduction
by
one
parking
space
in
the
number
of
approved
spaces.
A
Okay
yeah,
I
recall
I
recall
this
case-
miss
miss
baraza.
Have
we
seen
the
revive?
Are
the
revised
plans
that
have
been
presented.
E
E
M
Good
morning,
mr
chairman,
mr
board
attorney
derek
small,
the
business
address
of
this
one
dobson
group
mass,
we're
here
today
seeking
a
deferral
of
these
two
cases,
as
we
are
going
to
have
conversations
with
the
apartheid
with
regards
to
the
project.
M
E
Okay

first
case
calling
doa
one

one,

five
one
one

there's
nowhere

performed.
The
applicant
is
seeking
extension
of
conditionally
to
provide
16
for
fee
open-air
parking
spaces
on
a
part
of
the
property
relief
was
granted
by
the
dba
on
august
13
2019,
with
a
proviso
that
stated
release
would
expire
within
two
years.
The
violations
article
six
section,
four
other
protectional
conditions
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
O
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
jonathan
burke,
with
the
business
address
to
55
traveler
street
in
boston,
as
was
read
before
we're
just
seeking
an
extension
of
previously
issued
variants
for
conditionally
used
for
open
air
parking
for
a
fee.
There
are
12
ev
spaces
on
the
edges,
bike
parking
and
then
four
valet
parking
spaces
in
the
interior
of
the
lot.
O
A
Okay,
well,
you
had
a
two-year.
A
Expiration
last
time
we
often
give
three
I'm
wondering
whether
I'm
trying
to
remember
the
specifics
of
the
case.
Did
we
ask
for
additional
screening
and
buffering.
O
There
was
no,
there
were
no
changes
asked
for
last
time.
Either
we
asked
for
three
years,
I'm
not
sure
why
we
ended
up
with
two,
but.
A
A
I
I
think
you're
right,
mr
azero,
I
you
know
again.
I
looked
on
google
maps,
there's
like
one
three
in
a
little
cage
and
then
another
couple
trees
in
a
little
cage,
and
that's
about
it.
Mr
burkey,
you,
the
owner,
has
made
no
commitment
to
any
additional
screening
and
buffering.
A
Okay,
mr
rossman,
how
are
the,
how
are
the
plans,
mr.
A
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
on
behalf
of
the
proponent.
A
Any
discussion
either
whether
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
or
the
civic
association
for
additional
screening
and
buffering.
P
Q
E
Mr
chair
secretary,
we
do
have
a
letter
from
the
west
end,
it's
not
opposing
project,
but
I
I
believe.
E
Know
I
know
campbell
is
always
crucial
on
these
things,
but
screening
and
buffering.
I
find
it
hard
to
believe
that
we
didn't
do
anything
to
this.
One.
B
A
All
opposed
motion
passes
please,
mr
burke,
please
communicate
that
to
your
to
the
owner
yeah
thank.
O
E
Following
your
next
few
cases,
calling
voa
one
two,
three
eight
zero
five,
two
one,
forty
five
worcester
street
there
is
containing
a
kpoa
one,
two,
three,
eight
zero:
three:
nine
145
worcester
street.
This
is
the
construction
construct.
Two
new
cantilever
decks
new
sliding
door
system
on
the
garden
level,
new
pavement
for
parking
and
read
after
rooftop
the
violations,
article
32
section
four:
this
is
in
the
g
card
applicability,
any
paving
or
other
surface
of
the
large
area.
T
E
T
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board
mark
lorcas
lacasse
law,
75
arlington
street,
in
boston
attorney
for
the
applicant.
Shall
we
do
the
building
code
item
first,
mr
chair?
Yes,.
T
T
Typically,
the
solution
is
hatch
access
in
the
south
end,
which
is
consistent
with
article
64
section
34,
which
requires
hatch
access
to
roof
decks
in
the
south
end
and
also
hatch
access
is
consistent
with
the
south
and
arc
commission
guidelines
for
roof
lines.
So
the
proposal
here
shown
on
the
last
slide
of
this
particular
presentation.
The
very
last
slide.
Please
shows
access
to
the
roof.
Deck
shall
be
through
a
hatch.
D
T
Perfect,
thank
you
so
much
on
the
main
case,
which
is
an
amendment
to
an
existing
long-form
permit
for
the
renovation
of
this
three-unit
building.
The
proposal
is
to
construct
two
new
cantilever
decks
at
the
second
and
third
floor,
which
requires
a
conditional
use
permit,
and
the
other
item
is
groundwater
conservation,
overlay,
district
applicability
and
we
have
submitted
to
the
record
the
boston,
water
and
sewer
commission
article
32
compliance
letter
and
the
no
harm
letter.
From
our
engineer.
A
Okay,
let's
deal
with
g-cod
first
is
mr
siminelli
here
in
attendance.
T
I
believe
he's
out
this
week,
mr
chair,
but
I
didn't
yeah
he's.
A
A
Okay,
so
with
respect
to
the
cantilever
decks,
how
are
they
supported?
Mr
lacasse.
T
Those
are
projecting
six
feet
from
the
rear
of
the
structure
and
are
supported
by
cantilever,
steel
brackets
and
otherwise.
Consistent
with
the
bpda
design
review
guidelines,
as
well
as
the
southern
landmark
commission
guidelines
for
balconies
they're
shown
here
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
screen
at
the
second
and
third
floor
of
the
rear.
T
U
Yeah
good
morning,
mr
chairman
and
members
of
the
board,
I'm
kim
crusoe
with
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services,
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
can
I
have
a
motion
then.
D
So
chair,
I
just
would
like
to
make
a
comment
on
before
putting
forward
the
motion.
S
D
A
Do
you
want
to
have
the
design
review
specifically
refer
to
the
the
material
on
the
on
the
driveway.
V
E
W
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
nick
zazula
mcdermott,
quilty
and
miller
28
state
street
suite
802
in
boston
with
me
today,
the
property
owner
and
developer
bobby
charissamides,
and
on
the
architectural
side
from
ruben
of
architects.
I
have
derek
and
anna
mr
chair
248
gold
street
is
located
off
f
street
between
what's
fourth
and
west.
Fifth,
you
can
see
the
existing
street
view
there
in
front
of
you
now,
in
an
aerial
view,
it's
an
existing
two
family
dwelling
on
the
site
assessed
and
zoned.
W
W
There
are
three
story
buildings
on
both
sides
of
this
property,
so
he's
looking
to
add
the
third
story,
to
kind
of
move
up
to
that
roof
line,
and
importantly
that
does
still
remain.
Zoning
complying
with
the
building
height
requirement,
it'd
be
only
about
36
feet
and
the
height
requirements.
40
feet
he's
also
looking
to
gut
and
reconfigure.
W
The
entire
interior
layout
within
the
building
footprint
again
would
remain
as
a
two-family
sprinkler
the
building
upgrading
light
safety
throughout
it's
an
older
building,
so
that
would
be
a
benefit
to
the
property
as
well
into
the
neighborhood,
and
I
also
wanted
to
clarify
mr
chair
that,
after
discussions
with
some
of
the
neighbors
in
district
city
council
of
flynn's
office,
we
are
no
longer
proposing
a
roof
deck
as
part
of
this
project.
We
understand
that
roof.
W
Decks
are
obviously
a
hot
button
issue
in
south
boston
and
we,
you
know,
tried
to
design
something
that
would
be
appropriate.
But
after
discussion
with
with
that
office
and
with
neighbors
that's
going
to
be
removed
from
the
specific
application,
if
it
if
it
suits
the
board,
we'd
appreciate
being
able
to
remove
that
during
vpda
design
review,
it
would
not
be
shown
on
this
building
permanent
application.
W
It
would
not
be
shown
on
the
set
of
planes
that
would
be
submitted
to
isd
and
it
wouldn't
cause
removing.
It
would
not
cause
any
any
other
zoning
issues.
So
I
would
just
like
to
request
that,
if
possible-
and
finally,
mr
chair-
I
know
that
yeah,
you
know
the
unit
sizes
are
of
importance
to
the
board
and
and
kind
of
the
configuration.
W
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
right
now,
the
first
floor
unit
is
a
one
bed,
one
bath
at
only
510
square
feet
and
the
second
floor
unit,
where
bobby's
living
right
now
is
a
two
bed
two
bath
at
only
510
square
feet.
So
these
are
very
small
units,
and
by
proposing
this
project
the
first
unit
would
become
a
two
bed.
Two
and
a
half
bath
at
about
a
thousand
square
feet
in
the
second
unit
would
remain
a
two
bed,
but
it
would
increase
to
about
a
thousand
square
feet
as
well.
W
A
Okay,
I
have
a
few
questions,
so
he
may
he
has
two
beds
and
two
baths
in
510
square
feet.
That's
what's.
W
Existing
that's
when
we
went
in
and
that's
what's
there
now,
mr
chair,
so
when
he
bought
the
property
again,
this
building
was
built.
I
think
when
we
looked
into
the
building
jacket,
this
building
was
originally
built
in
19
1890,
so
the
units
were
a
lot
smaller
back
then
and
when
he
purchased
it,
that's
what
he's
that's
when
that's
when
he
got
into
the
building
realized
that
you
know
those
obviously
are
very
small
units.
W
So
that's
what's
existing
now
and
he's
looking
to
double
the
size
of
the
living
space
by
basically
making
these
boats
into
duplex
units.
A
Okay,
no
yeah,
I
mean
that's
a
lot
to
cram
into
a
relatively
small
space.
So
so
let
me
ask
you:
let
me
ask
a
few
questions:
if
we,
if
we
do
approve
this,
we
will
have
a
proviso:
there's
no
roof
deck.
So
that's
that's
one
item.
What
is
the
height
floor
to
ceiling
of
the
basement
of
the
the
proposed
basement
space.
W
Yes,
sir,
so
if
you
go
to,
if
I
don't
know,
who's
who's
running
the
show,
but
if
you
go
to
slide
12,
I'm
sorry
slide.
10
of
our
presentation.
We
actually
understanding
that's
a
common
question.
We
do
provide
a
building
section
and
basement
details
and
when
we
get
to
that
which
slide.
This
is
what
it's
like
just
give.
W
Just
wanted
you
to
visualize
it,
so
it's
existing
ceiling
height
is
seven
feet
three
inches
and
we're
proposing
it
to
be
eight
feet.
Four
inches
we'd
be
looking
to
lower
the
floor
by
about
12
inches
to
gain
the
extra
headroom,
and
if
you
see
you
can
also
see
on
that
slide
that
there
is
an
existing
walkout,
it's
a
full
sliding
door,
and
so
there
is,
you
know
adequate
light,
air
and
and
by
by
going
down
12
inches.
We.
A
Have
that
hang
on
by
dropping
the
existing
walkout?
I
assume
is
that,
at
at
great
at
the
floor,
the
floor
level
by
dropping
the.
X
A
N
Yeah
thanks
thanks
nick
good
morning
to
mr
chair
on
the
board.
There
you're
gonna
have
a
couple
of
steps
up
to
the
sliding
door
there
you
can
see
on
the
left
and
then
there'll
be
a
patio.
That's
slightly
recessed.
In
the
grade.
There
will
be
one
more
step
up
to
the
yard,
so
you
have
a
few
basically
three
risers.
A
Okay,
so,
and
so
the
topography
of
the
site
slopes
down
to
the
back.
What
is
the
florida
gr
the
floor?
The
newly
proposed
floor
to
grade
height
in
the
front
and
what
will
it
be
in
the
back.
N
The
the
difference
between
the
newly
proposed
floor
in
the
back
is
two
feet
and
in
the
front
it's
it's
about
five
foot,
nine
or
so,
and
then
the
front
part
has
kitchen.
So
we
just
we're
going
to
have
the
existing
windows
will
become
in
the
front,
will
become
kitchen
windows,
so
you
can
see
in
the
plan
diagram
on
the
left.
There
we're
going
to
have
a
really
nice
big
full-size,
triple
sliding
door.
You'll
get
you're
going
to
get
a
lot
of
natural
light
into
that
living
area.
There.
A
Okay,
so
the
so
the
the
unit,
the
basement
part
of
this,
the
unit
will
consist
of
a
kitchen
and
living
room.
Bedrooms
will
be
upstairs.
That's
correct.
Yes,
sir.
W
Yeah
we
made
we
did
that
on
purpose,
mr
chair,
to
make
sure
of
that.
A
A
And
you're
comfortable
with
the
all
the
arrangements
of
the
grade
and
the
egress
and
the
access
and
etc.
D
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Any
questions
on
the
board.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
proponent.
Y
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
haley
dela,
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
like
to
go
record
and
support
again,
based
on
the
fact
that
the
applicant
work
with
the
neighbors.
Thank
you.
Q
Good
morning,
mr
chairman
members
of
the
guarana
caledon
from
council
of
flint's
office,
the
council
would
like
to
own
recurring
support
due
to
the
proponents
willingness
to
work
on
a
good
faith
compromise
and
to
remove
the
roof
back
from
the
proposal,
which
are
always
opposed
by
the
local
civil
group
and
neighbor
neighbors
from
the
swedish
side.
Neighborhood
association
council
of
flint
support
is
based
this
proposal
remaining
at
two
firmly
in
the
removal
of
the
proof
deck
which
will
help
address
concerns
about
the
noise
from
life
parties
and
quality
of
life
issues.
Q
C
F
Sure
dave
nato,
259.
R
Gold
street
and
I
reviewed
the
drawings
of
the
project,
and
I
believe
that
relative
to
the
local
area,
any
projects
that
are
going
to
renovate
or
revitalize
and
add
value
for
an
ownership
to
you
know
I
I
guess
have
vested
interest
in
the
neighborhood.
For
a
you
know.
Good
period
of
time
is
something
that
I
would
be
supportive
of.
I
think
it
you
know
blends
in
with
the
character
of
the
surrounding.
C
S
E
Mr
chair
secretary,
here
we
did
have
one
letter
of
opposition,
but
it
sounds
like
mr
suzuul
is
to
carry.
It
was
opposed
to
the
roof
there.
Okay,.
A
D
So
the
the
other
question
I
have
is
the
building
to
the
right
that
has
a
mezza
roof.
Did
you
receive
support
from
that
neighbor.
W
We
did
not
have
any
any
communication
from
that
neighbor,
mr
bros
mraza.
We
did
have
a
butter
meeting.
I
believe
a
tenant
of
that
building
showed
up
at
the
butter
meeting
and
asked
some
questions.
But
okay.
D
The
drawings
did
not
show
that
relationship,
so
I
would
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
of
approval
with
bpda,
with
two
proviso:
that
with
bpa
design
review
to
remove
the
roof
deck
and
to
also
look
at
the
front
roof
line
of
the
men's
ark
from
on
the
third
story.
So
because
from
google
earth,
you
can
actually
see
that
you
have
conflicts
with
the
exist
with
the
your
neighboring
gutter.

Good
morning,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board
attorney
derek
small
business
suggestion
of
51
doctors,
grove
branch
and
mass
with
me
today
is
the
owner
of
the
property,
ms
rosa
williams
and
the
architect
mr
chris
paradis,
mr
chairman.
Today
we
are
seeking
relief
to
demolish
the
existing
two
family
dwelling
and
to
erect
three
townhouse
style
units
on
the
property.
M
Zoning
subdistrict
is
a
true
f5
thousand.
Our
lot
size
is
approximately
4
000
square
feet.
The
unit
sizes
I'll
leave
I'll.
Let
the
architect
go
over,
but
our
zoning
violations
are
as
follows.
Far
the
required
fdr
is
0.6.
M
They're,
proposing
0.9,
building
height
is
35
feet,
2
and
a
half
stories
in
this
sony
sub
district.
They
are
at
34
feet
3
stories,
so
we
still
are
under
the
number
of
feet,
wired.
With
regard
to
the
front
yard,
setback
required
setback
is
15
feet.
We
are
proposing
five,
which
will
also
be
the
model
setting
setback
in
the
front
and
on
the
side
yard.
The
requirement
is
feet
and
we
have
approximately
five
I'll
turn
it
over
to
chris
corrales
called
the
plans
and
who
is
the
architect
for
the
project.
Chris.
R
R
The
essentially
public
spaces,
kitchen
dining
room
living
room
spaces,
are
all
on
the
first
floor,
with
bedrooms
making
up
the
the
bulk
of
the
space
on
the
second
and
third
stories.
Yep.
That's
the
second
floor
there.
If
you
can
slow
down
a
little
bit
more,
you
can
see
the
the
third
floor
as
well,
and
if
we
can
continue
scrolling
down,
look
at
the
exterior
elevations
actually
right
there.
R
If
we
can
stop
at
the
the
the
code
summary
there
so
that
that
that
basically
confirms
some
of
the
information
that
derek
is
is
speaking
to,
we
have
roughly
what
is
it
3767
square
feet
of
occupiable
space
within
the
building
that
doesn't
include
the
unfinished
basement
area
in
the
building?
R
Thank
you
so
we're
looking
here
at
the
jamaica
street
or
front
elevation.
The
building
from
the
left
side
to
the
right
units
are
stepping
down
in
size
which
also
causes
a
reduction
in
the
roof
height.
As
you
head
to
the
corner
of
jamaica
street,
you
can
continue
panning
down
rear
elevation.
R
This
is
facing
the
neighbors
that
are
also
on
jamaica
street
and
if
you
can
pan
down
still
some
more.
R
AA
A
Yeah,
okay,
can
you
describe
the
parking?
Do
you
have
a
plot
plan
that
shows
the
parking
there.
R
R
Okay,
so
at
the
top
of
the
page,
you
basically
come
in
off
the
street
and
there
are
two
spaces
down
towards
the
bottom
of
the
lot
and
one
towards
the
top
adjacent
to
jamaica.
Okay,.
R
Yeah,
open
space
would
be
essentially
along
the
the
the
bottom
side
of
the
page
was
south
on
on
on
the
on
the
plot,
so
it
it's
it's
actually.
The
site
plan
is
not
correct.
It's
just
7.9
the
neighbors
in
the
neighborhood
hearings
asked
for
a
reduction
in
the
width
of
the
units
which
we
gave
them
again.
It
reduces
the
each
unit
by
six
inches
and
the
side
yard
setback
is
actually
9.3
feet
on
that
side,
and
you
know
for
for
all
intent
and
purpose.
R
You
know
we're
looking
at
an
area
there
of
what
300
square
feet
or
so
of
of
open
space
on
the
south
side
of
rome.
D
S
AB
M
D
A
Okay,
how
are
the
drawings
mrs
raza.
E
Yeah,
mr
chair,
sorry,
mr
d'amico
spoke
on
this
just
want
to
put
his
words
in
for
the
record.
Please
yep
regarding
104
104b,
jamaica
street.
The
violation
concerning
traffic
visibility
across

could
be
rectified
by
the

we
would
just
like
to
echo
their
support.
It
was

be

and
so
the

the

would
be
for

AD
Good
morning,
mr
chairman
zoning
board,
my
name
is
mark
abreuzi,
owner
of
41
door
street.
The
plans
are
being
pulled
up,
so
the
proposed
project
here
is
to
add
a
roof
deck
structure
to
the
existing
building.
A
AD
A
Okay,
I
can't
quite
tell
from
the
drawing:
is
there
a
head
house
there
that
or
does
the
staircase
just
open
up.
R
Yes,
mr
ellick,
there
is
this
sorry.
This
is
eric
jackson.
There
is
a
existing
head
house
at
the
rear
of
the
building.
It's.
R
Sorry,
six
foot
ten
wide
by
nine
foot
five
long
and
has
that
sloped
roof
that
kind
of
minimizes
its
appearance.
Okay,.
D
Mr
chair,
it
seems
like
the
other
two
neighboring
town
triple
deckers,
have
existing
head
houses
as
well.
So
it's
pretty,
it
seems
like
it's
pretty
common.
A
AE
Good
morning,
chairman
and
members
of
the
board,
this
is
json
get
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
to
the
project,
just
highlighting
the
highland
park,
neighborhood
coalition's
comments
on
the
proposed
project,
which
is
that
they
feel
the
roof
deck
size
is
too
excessive
for
the
neighborhood
and
want
to
keep
it
in
line
for
what
is
currently
already
in
the
neighborhood.
AE
AE
They
want
to
reduce
size,
roof
deck,
so
the
proposed
plan
originally
was
the
1
000
square
foot
and
after
meeting
with
the
coalition,
they
the
applicant
had
reduced
the
size
to
the
570
and
they
still
want
a
reduction.
They
believe
that
the
adequately
sized
roof
deck
can
be
achieved
without
the
need
for
the
variance.
A
And
what
is
there?
Is
there
a
size
they
had
in
mind.
AF
A
Okay,
thank
you
no
problem,
thanks
for
clarifying
that
all
right.
Anybody
else
want
to
testify
either
in
favor
or
opposition.
C
A
And
that
letter
makes
it
clear,
mr
mr
fortune,
that
they're
not
opposed
to
a
rooftop
but
they're
opposed
to
the
size
that
that's
what
I'm
reading.
Okay!
Thank
you.
C
Thanks
and
holly
you've
been
in
media.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please
sure.
AH
This
is
holly
shepard,
45
hawthorne
street,
I'm
the
secretary
for
the
neighborhood
coalition,
and
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
it
was
a
unanimous
vote
by
the
neighborhood.
Mr
abu
aziz
met
with
us
and
stipulated
that
he
would
be
selling
the
unit
within
a
year
and
therefore
one
because
it
was
not.
You
know
a
homeowner
who
was
looking
to
build
a
roof
deck
for
their
family.
We
couldn't
know
that
these
weren't
going
to
be
partying.
AH
You
know
college
students
on
a
roof
deck
in
a
very
unsafe
environment,
with
a
thousand
square
foot
or
500
square
foot,
roof
deck,
neighbors
pulled
developers
in
the
area
who
said
they
have
not
been
approved
for
more
than
a
200
square
roof
deck
in
the
neighborhood,
and
we
asked
the
architect
to
respond
to
us
with
what
size
roof
deck
could
be
done
without
variances,
but
we
did
not
receive
a
response.
Therefore,
the
neighborhood
felt
that
a
roof
deck
could
be
built
within
without
needing
variances.
AH
B
B
AG
If
I
may,
mr
chair
chef,
hampton
at
the
vpda,
it
looks
like
the
violations
that
are
listed
on
the
refusal
letter
have
to
do
with
the
building
itself,
not
it's
not
in
a
restricted
roof
structure
district
like
some
parts
of
the
city
which
require
conditional
use,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
building
is
non-conforming
to
the
yard
setbacks
already,
and
that
anytime,
you
put
an
addition
on
a
building
those
come
back
into
play.
AG
A
A
All
right:
well,
there
is
a
motion.
Mr
raza
made
a
motion
for
approval
with
a
provider
with
dpda
design
review,
with
proviso
that
the
roof
deck
size
being
reduced.
Is
there
a
second
to
that
motion
I'll?
Second,
that
all
those
in
favor.
S
A
All
opposed
okay,
the
motion
passes.
I
would
strongly
urge
the
the
applicant
to
take
the
comments
very
seriously
and
not
simply
make
a
token
reduction
but
make
a
reduction
that
would
that
would
respect
the
wishes
of
the
neighborhood,
and
I
would
ask
that
that
mr
hampton,
that
that
be
the
perspective
of
the
bpda.

No,

If
you
can
close

that

probably
solve
the
problem.
A
Why
don't
we
do
this
enough,
mr

Why
don't
we
take
the
next
case,
mr
miller,
if

could
we'll
come

Hopefully
you

live
entertainment.
Permit.
I
guess,
if
I'm
doing
the
right,
correct
words,
we
would
like
to
be
able
to
just
use
the
microphones
we
want.
We
were,
I
guess,
completely
knowledgeable
if
we
needed
a
live.
Entertainment
license
to
use
our
microphones
to
do
the
lessons
for
groups
of
people.
A
AL
AM
AL
No
it's
actually.
It
was
a
cuban
convenience
store.
It
actually
was
also
cbc
unito
a
couple
years
ago,
so
we're
on
the
other,
the
opposite
end
of
the
old
ashley's
breakfast
spa.
A
Okay,
got
it
okay,
how
many
people
at
a
time
do
you
have
in
there
for
your
events.
AL
Between
eight
and
our
maximum
is
like
20
people,
which
doesn't
really
happen
that
much
because
of
coping,
but
we
most
of
our
buyers
range
between
8
and
15
painters.
AL
So
we
have
a
thousand
eight
square
feet,
but
we've
locked
off
a
13
by
13
space.
That's
where
we
put
the
partition.
So
we
can
store
our
canvases
and
paint.
So
I
would
say,
probably
about
900
square
feet,
eight
to
900
square
feet
that
we
use
for
painting.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
How
are
the
drawings
miss
miss
raza.
AN
A
Okay,
can
I
have
a
motion,
please.
D
Mr
chair,
I
would
like
to
before
a
motion
of
approval
to
this
applicant.
Only.
B
AL
E
On
the
next
case,
calling
voa
118
9690
555
washington
street,
this
is
a
changed
legal
office
for
the
two
family
dwelling
chiropractors
office
to
a
four
family
dwelling.
This
is
an
existing
condition.
There's
no
work
to
be
done
out
of
the
violations
of
51
section
16,
a
multi-family
use
conditional
article,
51,
section
17,
dimensional
regulations,
article
51,

rp
parking
is
insufficient,
even
addressed,
fuller,
ethically.
AF
Off
of
the
property
owner
gary
kumia,
who
is
the
owner
occupant
of
555
washington
street
before
you
today,
is
a
proposal
to
I
guess
what
we're
trying
to
legalize
or
change
occupancy.
Mr
cormier
bought
the
property
in
the
early
2000s
and
has
discovered
that,
in
fact,
the
records
that
isd
contains
do
not
reflect
what
exact
should
be
out.
It
is
actually
out
there
at
this
time,
as
you
can
see
from
the
drawings
that
are
being
put
before
you.
AF
The
building
is
a
three-story
structure
which
has
remained
unaltered
for
roughly
almost
40
years.
I
would
suggest
looking
back
at
the
assessing
records,
the
city
has
assessed
it
as
a
four-family
dwelling
since
1986,
so
for
a
considerable
period
of
time.
It
has
been
in
this
condition.
We
have
done
extensive
community
outreach
to
reach
out
to
our
inviters
to
alert
them
of
what
the
intention
is
to
again
legitimize
the
building.
In
its
present
state,
we
received
some
30
signatures
of
support
on
petitions
that
the
board
might
have.
AF
We
have
also
done
in
a
fighters
meeting
which
we've
brought
unanimous
support
from
those
participating,
and
we
have
secured
the
approval
of
the
austin
brighton
improvement
commission
relative
to
this,
like
I
said
this
is
something
that
in
fact
has
been
in
existence
for
some
time
and
we
you
know,
we
believe
it
would
be
appropriate
to
allow
it
to
continue
at
this
point,
as
there
is
no
proposal
to
alter
the
structure
extended,
expanded
in
any
ratio
form,
so
we
respectfully
ask
for
the
board's
consideration
in
legitimizing
the
occupancy
at
this
time.
A
AF
A
prior
occupancy,
we
believe
the
best
that
we
can
determine
is
that
the
second
and
third
floors
were
the
original
apartments,
and
the
first
floor
was
the
actual
chiropractic
office
or
practice
sometime.
You
know,
perhaps,
as
far
back
as
like
the
70s
or
something
along
those
lines
there
and
a
fire
property
owner,
converted
that
first
floor
into
two
dwelling
units
and
and
the
balance
of
the
building
has
remained
unchanged
essentially
since
its
construction.
We
believe.
AF
A
Okay,
how
are
the
drawings
barraza.
A
AM
Chairman
members
of
the
board,
jack
duggan,
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
just
want
to
go
on
record
support.
The
afghan
went
through
a
full
community
process
and
there
was
a
butters
meeting
held
on
june
1st,
where
butters
were
overwhelmingly
in
support.
The
existing
condition
has
been
such
for
many
years
now
when
the
property
is
owner
occupied,
they
received
full
support
from
the
brighton,
austin
improvement
association,
and
our
offices
also
received
a
letter
of
support
and
a
letter
of
opposition.
Thank
you.
AM
I
don't
have
that
on
me,
but
I
believe
mr
fortune
should
have
that.
I
think
everything
was
submitted
over
to
the
board.
E
Okay,
yes,
but
yeah.
I
do
have
one
letter
of
opposition.
I
don't
have
a
letter
of
support.
I
have
one
letter
of
opposition
and
the
opposition
was
in
regards
to
how
much
parking
is
involved
in
555
washington
street.
AF
A
Yeah:
okay:
anybody
else
want
to
speak
in
favor
or
opposition.
A
All
those
in
favor
all
opposed
okay.
The
motion
carries,
mr
fortunately,
should
we
try.
E
C
On
the
mute
tab,
if
you
right
click
it
and
it
should
say
audio
options,
you
may
be
able
to
go
there
and
switch
your
audio
input.
C
C
Okay,
do
you
want
to
call
in?
I
can
give
me
the
number.
A
Okay,
I'm
going
to
suggest
the
following,
since
this
seems
to
be
taking
a
while
and
and
may
go
on
indefinitely.
This
is
the
last
last
case
of
the
9
30
hearings.
Our
next
case
is
at
11..
What
I'm
going
to
suggest
that
we
do
is
adjourn
until
5
of
11.
A
at
that
point,
hopefully,
mr
miller
will
be
on
and
we
can
consider.
C
E
A
Can
you
describe
what
you
have
in
mind?
Yes,
so.
AJ
Currently,
the
building
is
a
three-family
building
and
it
has
a
fully
built
attic
with
pre-existing
framing
of
stairs
or
pre-existing
stairs
that
lead
up
to
a
doorway
into
the
attic.
It's
a
very
tall
attic
and
it
does
have
sufficient
space
with
with
new
walls
up.
It
provides
an
additional
700
square
feet
of
living
space.
AJ
My
goal
is
my
family
is
expanding
and
I
would
like
to
move
back
to
the
city
of
boston.
I
work
for
suffolk
university
and
it's
a
much
easier
commute
and
for
a
combination
of
reasons
of
the
growing
family
and
being
closer
to
work,
and
I
did
grow
up
most
of
my
life
in
boston
and
would
like
to
move
back
to
the
city.
So
that
is
the
impetus
behind
why
I
want
to
do
this.
AJ
There
are
two
homes
directly
to
my
left
that
appear
to
have
the
same
layout
with
use
with
use
of
the
attic
on
the
four
fourth
floor
on
the
same
architectural
design.
So
I'm
just
seeking
relief
to
do
that.
I
think
the
far
currently
for
the
areas
1.0,
the
existing
far
is
exceeding
that
already
at
1.09.
A
AJ
Not
at
all,
so
I'm
not
I'm
not
exiting
the
existing
structure
at
all.
A
So
the
height,
the
excessive
height,
is
an
existing
condition.
Exactly
okay,
okay
and
the
only
exterior
work
that
you're
talking
about
is
rear
port
ceilings.
AJ
Exterior
work
is
adding
a
roof,
as
you
can
see
in
that,
drawing
a
to
the
top
left
I'd
be
adding
a
a
villux
egress,
accessible
skylight
that
opens
at
45
degrees
and
it's
sufficiently
from
the
from
the
height
of
the
ground
to
allow
egress
from
that
bedroom
if
necessary.
A
Because
the
rear,
porch
stuff
is
just
repairing
existing
conditions
again
right,
that's
right
and
I
can't
quite
tell
from
the
the
drawings
I
don't
see
the
details
well
enough.
What
is
the
floor
to
ceiling
height
in
this
attic
renovated
attic
that
you're
proposing.
AJ
So
the
floor
ceiling
height
would
just
be
a
regular
eight
feet
in
height,
approximately
okay.
AE
Good
morning,
chairman
and
members
of
the
board,
this
is
jason
gant
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal
and
the
butter's
meeting
was
held
on
july
19th,
where
mr
miller
was
able
to
answer
any
of
the
questions
raised
by
the
abutting
community
members.
I
do,
however,
want
to
highlight
that
I
would
like
mr
miller
to
continue
working
with
the
highland
park.
Neighborhood
coalition
for
the
extended
period
of
his
actual
clients.
AP
A
Mr
miller,
the
vote
better
late
than
never
the
the
motion
passes.
Good
luck,
all
right!
Thank
you.
So
much
appreciate
it.
Okay,

perfect.

AB
E
C
S
AQ
Hi,
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
hear
our
our
appeal,
we're
just
hoping
to
finish
an
an
unfinished
basement
in
our
single-family
home
in
south
boston.
The
purpose
of
this
would
just
be
to
allow
for
additional
space
for
our
two
daughters
to
play
perhaps
have
friends
over
when
they're
a
little
bit
older.
AQ
We
don't
plan
on
renting
it
or
or
doing
anything
else,
to
bring
additional
people
into
the
house
or
or
cars
to
the
neighborhood,
and
we
were
denied
based
on
far
considerations.
I
think
our
far
was
was
already
stands
above
2.0,
which
I
believe
is
the
limit.
So
adding
any
additional
space
would
just
put
us
further
over
the
women.
S
A
And
how
many
square
feet
in
the?
What
is
the
current
use
of
the
basement.
AQ
It's
about
about
six
and
a
half
feet,
maybe
six
feet:
six
and
a
half
feet.
A
Okay,
you're
aware
that
that's
a
problem
for
livingston
the
first.
AR
AQ
We
are
yes,
yes
and,
and
the
plan
would
be
to
to
look
down
into
the
first
way,
yeah.
A
The
thing
would
be
to
excavate
down
to
get
to
to
what
height.
A
A
Okay,
seven
foot,
six,
okay
and
and
the
idea
is
to
simply
have
an
open
space
at
play.
Area
yeah.
AQ
A
Okay,
so
no
bedrooms,
no
kitchen,
nothing
like
that.
Nothing
like
that!
No
all
right!
What
is
the
relationship
of
that
basement
to
grade?
Is
there
an
elevation
that
shows
how
far
below
grade
that
this
space
is.
AQ
It's
a
little
hard
to
say:
I
don't
think
it's
captured
in
the
in
the
drawings.
The
house
is
that
part
of
the
house
is
built
on
a
hill,
so
certain
parts
of
the
basement
are
almost
entirely
one.
End
of
the
basement
is
almost
entirely
underground,
whereas
the
opposite
end
of
the
basement
is
at
ground
level.
AQ
There
is
in
existence,
yes,
okay,.
A
Y
Q
Good
morning,
mr
chairman
members
of
the
world
from
council
of
ling's
office,
the
councillor
would
like
to
go
on
recurring
support.
As
this
proposal
of
a
basement
renovation
will
not
add
any
additional
units
and
density.
Moreover,
it
does
not
add
parking
concerns
and
quality
of
life
issues
that
might
impact
the
neighbors
councillor.
Fling
would
like
to
offer
his
support
for
the
project,
that's
additional
space
for
the
growing
family
to
remain
in
south
boston.
Thank
you.
A
All
right,
if
just
comment,
if
there
is
going
to
be
the
bpda,
no
notes
that
no
building
code
code
really
should
be
granted,
which
is
obviously
based
on
the
fact
that
the
current
florida
ceiling
height
is
six
six
and
that
they
would
need
to
change
that.
So
if
there
is
going
to
be
a
motion
of
approval,
I
would
recommend
a
proviso
included
that
no
building
code
released
be
part
of
a
motion.
D
V
AQ
That
was
a
there
was
an
old.
There
was
an
old
site
plan
that
I
had
clarified
with
frank
d'amato.
AQ
D
A
B
Just
just
a
question
just
a
question
to
the
applicant:
I'm
looking
at
at
google
earth.
You
know
the
grey
house
on
the
corner:
pacific,
yes,
okay,
yeah,
so
it's
it's
got
it's!
It's
got
some
room
up
above
grade
in
the
rare.
I
see
that
now
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve,
with
the
proviso
that
no
building
code
release
be
granted.
AB

the

quality
miller,
28

in
boston
here,
representing

heading

also
with
me,
is
gail

from

who
is

and
danielle

Who
is
the

director

and
tim
flynn?
Who
is
the
project
manager?
AS
Mr
chair?
I
believe
the
ambassador
is
pulling
up.
We
have
a
brief
presentation,
we'd
like
to
take
you
through
by
way
of
background.
A
Mr
hanley,
if
I
could,
as
I
recall
we
heard
this
case
recently
and
and
we
denied
without
prejudice,
not
because
we
thought
the
merits
of
the
case
were
problematic.
On
the
contrary,
I
think
we're
very
supportive
of
the
mission,
but
there
was
a
concern
about
density
and
community
opposition.
So
I
guess
what
I
would
like
to
hear
is
what
has
changed
between
now
and
then
for
for
our
review.
AS
Yes,
sir,
and
thank
you
for
that,
that's
what
the
we
put
together
for
the
presentation.
So,
madam
ambassador,
if
you
just
take
me
back
to
the
second
page
there,
just
above
this,
as
you
noted
mr
chair,
we're
here
on
or
heading
home,
was
here
on
april
27th
and
at
that
point
they
were
proposing
a
five-story
23-unit.
AS
AS
It
is
sort
of
midstream
down
a
pretty
steep
grade
between
blue
hill
ave
and
harvard,
and
so
we
are
coming
back
after
listening
very
carefully
to
the
comments
that
were
provided
by
this
board
on
april
27th
and
engaging
more
with
the
community
and
working
with
the
city
with
a
revised
project
next
slide,
madam
ambassador,
please
so
we've
put
this
together.
AS
This
was
based
on
the
notes
from
the
last
hearing
and
from
the
outreach
responding
to
input
and
feedback
in
five
key
areas:
building
height
size
and
scale
of
the
building,
the
unit
density,
the
open
space,
and
there
was
a
discussion
about
parking
and
what
is
appropriate
for
the
permanent
power
of
housing's
expanded
use.
AS
What
you
will
see
in
this
presentation
is
a
building
that
has
been
reduced
in
height,
reduced
in
size,
reduced
in
unit
density
and
increased
in
open
space
and
improved
with
parking
programs
that
we
have
worked
with
with
d
and
d
in
particular,
we
have
dropped
the
height
from
five
to
four
stories,
which
now
makes
it
much
more
consistent,
entirely
consistent
with
the
building
on
the
street
to
the
right
of
us.
We've
also
reduced
the
size
of
the
far
which
drops
the
far
to
2.6.
AS
The
unit
density
has
gone
from
23
to
20..
The
open
space
is
almost
175
square
feet
per
unit
and
we're
able
to
identify
nine
parking
spaces
in
the
area,
in
addition
to
the
on-site
parking
space,
which
is
intended
to
be
for
the
permanent
supportive
housing
staff,
and
we
conducted
a
study.
The
final
thing
I
will
say
and
you'll
see
this
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
we
return
to
the
vpda.
This
is
an
article
ladies
small
project
in
july,
with
a
notice
of
project
change,
we
engaged
in
another
public
meeting.
AS
We
had
a
site
walk
that
was
sponsored
by
elected
officials
and
brought
all
of
our
consultants
too,
and
we've
garnered
more
community
support
as
a
result
of
these
changes.
At
this
point,
I'd
like
to
ask
gail
to
take
you
through
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
board
the
details
on
the
proposed
changes.
Gail.
AT
Yes,
thanks:
can
we
have
the
next
slide?
Please
and
I'll
do
it?
I
promise
mr
chair
very
quickly.
I
forget
to
the
end
the
point,
which
is
that
there
is
a
fair
amount
of
community
support
on
the
left.
You
can
see
the
proposal
that
we
submitted
to
the
earlier
zba
hearing
on
the
right
hand,
side
you
see
the
reduction
four
stories
facing
whale
street
and
his
height
off
of
the
grade
now
is
just
exactly
as
close.
AL
AT
This
shows
the
point
that
joe
is
making
that
there
is
quite
a
steep
slope
on
this
site
and
then,
if
we
can
have
the
next
there'd
been
a
question.
I
know
at
the
previous
cba
hearing
about
this
building
being
appropriate
or
inappropriate
to
the
neighborhood
scale,
so
we
actually
took
a
closer
look
at
both
wales
and
adjacent
esmen
street,
which
is
in
the
foreground,
and
what
you
can
see
here
is
there
are
a
plethora
of
non-conforming
buildings
in
this
neighborhood.
AT
There,
in
fact,
are
a
lot
of
apartment
buildings
with
15
or
more
units
in
them,
including
the
three
immediately
adjacent
to
us
uphill,
and
then
there
are
a
lot
of
double
triple
deckers,
so
six
unit
three-story
buildings.
So
we
don't
actually
think
that
the
building
that
we're
proposing
is
out
of
scale
with
the
current
neighborhood
condition.
AT
AT
AT
AT
And
this
addresses
the
parking.
So
although
these
are
unhoused
families
in
the
past,
two
percent
of
their
households
had
cars,
but
the
neighbors
we
know
are
very
concerned
about
it
and
heading
home's
done
a
lot
of
work
to
try
to
address
that
so
they've
negotiated
for
four
spaces
at
a
d
d,
owned
property
at
27
whales,
so
four
properties
up
the
hill
and
across
the
street
from
that
four
parking
spaces
at
the
salvation
army,
which
primarily
uses
its
parking
during
the
day
for
its
child
care
program.
They
are
in
negotiation
now.
AT
AT
AT
AO
AT
AT
One
is
the
failed
retaining
wall
and
the
other
that
we
heard
more
recently
in
the
july
meeting
was
an
issue
of
storm
water.
Runoff
people
downhill
complained
that
their
basements
were
flooding
with
water
and
they
think
that
that's
coming
from
37
whales
straight,
so
our
team
actually
did
some
investigation
with
howard
stein.
Hudson
the
civil
engineer,
halian
aldridge,
the
geotechnical
engineer,
because
one
of
the
things
that
happened
in
that
community
meeting
is
that
a
neighbor
uphill
said
that
his
basement
was
also
flooding.
AT
So
we've
undertaken
an
early
investigation
and
taken
a
look
at
this
and
clearly
37
whales
can't
be
flooding.
Somebody
uphill,
but
probably
it
is
true
that
this
totally
impervious
site
with
a
failed
retaining
wall
is
contributing
to
the
problems
downhill.
But
it
is
not
the
limit
of
the
problems,
so
howard
stein,
hudson-
and
I
realize
this
is
outside
of
cba
jurisdiction,
but
I'm
mentioning
it
because
we
think
it's
part
of
the
whole
issue
with
the
neighborhood
howard
stein,
hudson,
went
and
investigated
the
boston,
water
and
sewers
stormwater
system
in
the
area.
AT
Pipes
may
be
adequately
sized
in
the
road.
There
were
very
few
catch
basins
to
catch.
Any
of
the
water
water
is
flooding
down
the
streets,
so
first
solution.
The
easiest
one,
of
course,
is
add
catch
basins
that
may
or
may
not
be
sufficient,
but
dnd
at
heading
homes,
request
has
undertaken
to
reach
out
to
boston,
water
and
sewer
and
blossom
water,
and
sewer
is
now
in
the
process
of
starting
to
reach
out
to
the
neighbors
so
that
they
can
find
out
what
the
problems
are
and
look
at
how
this
can
be
addressed.
AT
The
key
thing
that
I'm
raising
about
this
is
this
issue
of
the
flooding
and
the
storm.
Water
is
not
an
issue
that
37
wales
tree
created,
nor
can
37
whale
street
by
itself
solve
it.
We
do
have,
as
shown
here,
a
very
robust
stormwater
management
system
in
design,
and
that
will
solve
the
problem
of
the
water
on
37
whales.
It
will
not
solve
the
problem
of
the
water
uphill
and
we
think
that
that
has
to
be
solved
with
boston,
water
and
sewer.
AT
The
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
about
this
is
if
the
zba
does
approve
this
project
heading
home
has
committed.
In
fact,
the
designs
are
almost
completed.
The
construction
documents
they've
committed
to
doing
the
retaining
wall
and
the
storm
water
management
system
as
an
emergency
project
along
with
demolition
of
the
existing
building.
It
has
to
be
demolished
for
us
to
do
this
work.
That
would
start
as
soon
as
we
can
get
a
permit
in
the
fall
and
we
envision
it
being
completed
by
spring
of
2022.
AT
AT
Part
of
our
investigation
was
just
looking
at
the
basic
physical
reality.
There
is
a
62-foot
elevation
difference
from
the
top
of
wales
to
the
bottom
of
habit.
That's
a
lot
of
speed
at
which
water
can
flow
downhill
and
it
will
not
be
caught
very
well.
So
we
think
that's
probably
the
source
of
the
problem
of
the
flooding
at
the
bottom
of
abbot
and,
as
I
say,
it's
got
to
be
a
neighborhood
scale
solution,
not
a
single
property
level
solution.
A
We'll
hear
about
the
neighborhood
participation
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
A
Well,
we'll
hear
that
in
testimony,
so
thank
you
very
much
and
again
with
the
stormwater
in
some
way.
That's
fascinating,
but
not
necessarily
germaine
to
to
our
deliberations.
But
thank
you
for
that,
and
I
also
wanted
to
express
appreciation
for
the
changes
that
have
been
made
in
response
to
our
our
last
decision.
A
So
you
have
the
the
current
updated
drawings.
AR
Yes,
dante
was
here
from
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
the
proposal
at
august.
9Th
there
was
a
you
know,
ppda
public
meeting
and
then
from
there
there
was
bbg
bpda
approval,
august
19th
and
then,
from
there
september
14th
there
was
a
you
know:
site
walk
with
neighbors
of
butters
and
elected
officials.
AR
What
questions
and
concerns
were
addressed
by
the
the
team
here
and
again,
we'd
like
to
speak
to
what
was
spoken
about
from
the
applicants
from
reduction
of
building
heights.
I
AR
Density
pocket
concerns
sorry
pardon
concerns
as
well
as
yes,
parkinson's,
so
we
again
we'd
like
to
as
mayor's
office
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
these
low-income
permanent
housing.
Thank
you
thank.
G
A
AU
AU
Mr
chairman,
this
is
sheila
dillon
from
the
department
of
neighborhood
development.
I
just
wanna
dnd
is
going
on
record
in
support
of
this
project.
We
feel
this
is
a
very
committed
owner
and
development
development
team
they've,
listened
to
the
community.
They've
listened
to
many
city
agencies,
and
we
think
the
revisions
now
should
move
the
project
with
the
revision
should
move
forward.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
Okay,
are
there
any
raised
hands
with
miss
ambassador?
Yes,.
C
We
have
about
five
raised
hands,
we
could.
A
S
C
With
the
people
direct,
the
butters
I'll
start
with
devin
devin
you've
been
on
media.
Can
you
state
your
name,
and
I
just
for
the
record.
Please.
AR
Good
morning
my
name
is
devin.
That
was
a
legislative
aid
to
represent
him
home.
He
had
just
speaking
support
of
the
project,
but
I'm
home
tonight,
I'm
meeting
them
with
the
the
fighters
were
invited
and
you
know
had
a
conversation,
not
too
many
of
others
came
out,
but
definitely
we're
there
to
do
a
sidewalk
with
the
development
team.
C
AV
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
yes,
good
morning,
dodson
45
west
street,
I'm
the
director
butter.
There
is
no
support
from
the
abutters
and
community
for
this
project.
Absolutely
none,
and
just
I'm
trying
to
keep
it
brief,
because
and
brevity
of
time,
but
in
the
response
to
changes
as
guillermo
sent
himself
mentioned,
there
are
plethora
of
apartment
buildings
in
this
community.
Already
we
don't,
there
is
no
room
for
what
they
are
trying
to
do
and
they
know
it,
and
we
know
it
that
the
parking
that
they
have
identified.
AV
AV
They
can't
salvation
army
closes
at
night,
they've
been
in
negotiation
with
salvation
army
for
two
plus
years,
and
they
still
have
no
agreement
because
salvation
army
will
not
allow
them
to
they
have
not
resolved
or
addressed
any
of
the
property.
The
project
is
too
dense
for
the
community.
They
know
it
and
we
know
it
and
we
don't
understand
why
they
can't
they
could
not
manage
the
10
units
that
they
had
there.
They
could
not
manage
the
parking
they
could
not
manage
the
residence.
It
was
a
constant
problem
to
the
community.
AV
C
C
All
right
and
caller
28
you've
been
unmuted.
This
is
the
617436
number.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please.
AP
AP
C
Thank
you
all
right
and
college.
Well,
this
is
a
617-445
number.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
actors
for
the
record?
Please.
AW
AW
AW
AW
A
Okay,
thank
you.
We
get
it
and
we
understand
that
there
is
a
real,
serious
problem
with
with
drainage
and
water
runoff,
that
in
in
the
entire
neighborhood
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
D
Can
I,
mr
chairman,
I
have
a
question
regarding
the
off-site
parking
at
27
well
street
and
the
applicant.
Please
just
let
us
know
in
terms
of
what
terms
of
agreement
in
terms
of
years,
if
this
is
d
d,
own
property,
for
how
long?
If,
if
some
of
the
abutters
were
questioning
the
negotiations
of
salvation
army,
I
would
be
curious
to
know
how
long
would
dnd
kind
of
hold
that
space
for
37
whales.
AS
AX
AX
After
our
last
dba
hearing,
which
was
approximately
three
four
months
ago,
yeah.
AX
K
AU
It
sheila
dylan
here
I
have
no
issue
at
all.
We
do
all
of
our
leases
when
we
lease
land
for
parking
and
other
air.
We
use
it
for
one
year,
but
I
have
no
problem
working
with
our
legal
counsel
to
do
one
year
with
an
option
to
renew.
So
that's
not
a
problem
for
us
and
I'd
be
glad
to
look
at
that.
I
also
want
to
work
with
the
developer
on
proper
landscaping,
et
cetera,
but
but
I'd
be
glad
to
look
at
that
as
an
option.
AS
Yeah
and
if
I
may
just
speak
to
the
parking,
so
the
zoning
code
requires
0.25
for
transitional
housing,
which
would
be
five
spaces
in
the
past
ten
years
back.
This
was
used
as
a
property
management
site.
Heading
home
has
moved
that
operation
to
cambridge.
AS
So
our
study
with
howard,
stein,
hudson-
and
you
know,
and
heading
home's
background-
is
that
there
is
a
need
for
two
spaces
for
every
10
units.
Right
now.
Whale
street
has
ample
ample
open
public
parking
during
the
day
at
night.
When
people
come
home,
it's
a
little
different
and
that's
why,
in
addition
to
27
whales,
we've
also
found
evening
parking
nearby
with
the
salvation
army.
So
it's
intended
to
be
very
specific
to
the
circumstances
to
address.
A
D
No,
I'm,
I
think,
I'm
clear.
Mr
chairman,
I
like
to
put
forward
a
motion.
I
would
like
to
perform
a
motion
of
approval,
with
a
proviso
of
bpda
design,
for
the
exterior,
and
also
I'm
encouraging
a
long-term
partnership
with
dnd
to
solve
some
of
the
parking
issues
that
the
neighbors
have
brought
up
in
terms
of
concerns.
S
A
Any
opposed
motion
carries.
E
Thank
you
calling
max

This
is
to
construct
a

and
roof
deck
with
the

The
violation,
diagram,

AY
Hi

AY
So,
oh
thanks
for
sharing
that.
So
it's
I'm
on
the
top
floor
of
a
of
a
three
unit,
condo
and
I'm
gonna,
put
I'd
like
to
put
a

like
back

to
get
up
to
my
my
roof
for
some
more
outdoor

AY
A
And
it's
set
towards
the
rear
half
of
the
building
yeah
correct.
Okay,
so
the
we
have
an
issue
of
building
height
is
there?
Is
there
already
the
maximum
building
height
in
the
area
is
35
feet?
What
is
the
height
of
the
building,
because.
A
And
then,
and
then
what
would
including
the
pergola?
What
would
the
the
height
of
the
new
structure
be.
R
A
All
right,
how
are
the
drawings
from
ms
raza.
A
Any
questions
from
the
board
is
there
anyone
here
to
to
speak
actually
before
I
go
to
public
testimony,
mr
hampton,
I
believe
that
bpda
recommends
denial.
Could
you
explain.
AG
AR
Yes,
dante
peeples,
here
from
the
office
of
neighborhood
services,
there
was
a
community,
a
butters
meeting
held
on
june
9
2021,
where
no
concerns
were
raised
by
neighbors
or
butters
and
again
we'd
like
to
go
on
work
and
support.
Thank
you.
B
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
roof
deck
but
deny
the
pergola.
A
Yeah,
okay,
okay,
so
there's
a
motion
to
approve
the
roof
deck
with
bpda
design
review,
with
the
proviso
that
that
no
pergola
being
included
is
there
a
second.
AU
A
All
those
in
favor
aye,
aye
aye,
ms
barrazo
poses,
but
the
motion
passes.

Okay,
we
appreciate
that,
but
my
concern
is
that
it
looks
like
from
the
drawing
that's
on
the
screen
now
that
the
two
parking
spots
that
you
are
proposing
are
in
front
of
your
house.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
it
is
sir
okay,
so
we
have
a
problem
with
front
yard
parking,
but.
E
Mr
chair
secretary,
here
I
just
wanted
that
bob

has
spoke
on
this.
Would
you
like
his
comments
to
the
record
yeah
go
ahead,
please
regarding

the

I
I.
B
B
D
B
A
A
Yeah
we've
had
seven
and
a
half
feet
driveways
being
proposed
here,
but,
as
a
board
may
recall
yeah
all
right
I
can
can
we
hear
from?
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
either
in
favor
opposition
of
the
proposal.
J
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board
lina
dramely
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
run
the
record
in
support
for
this
proposal.
We
recognize
the
need
of
the
resident
of
having
this
driveway
he's
a
handicap
and
has
been
struggled
for
the
past
years
of
getting
to
his
house,
so
having
this
driver
will
improve
the
quality
of
his
life.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
before
we
enchant
a
motion,
I
would
just
remind
the
board
that
we
can't
we
don't
approve
or
disapprove
based
on
the
current
occupant
of
the
house.
We
do
it
based
on
the
long-term
property
situation,
so.
B
A
There's
no

so
the
the
motion
does
not
carry.
Can
I
have
another

Good
afternoon
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lim's
245
sumner
street,
mr
chair,
I
meant
to
have
a
brief
second
columnist,
I'm
having
some
technical
issues
where
the
the
feed
keeps
coming
in
and
out.
I
just
want
to
re-log
out
re-log
back
in.
Can
I
come
back
in
a
few
minutes
and
just.
E
All
right,
I
won't
call
the
violations
and
all
the
purpose
again,
we'll
just
call
the
docket
number
yep
calling
the
next
case
calling
boa
one.
Two
one:
zero:
three,
eight
nine,
sixteen
south
russell

This
is
to
legalize
the
ground
level,
dwelling
unit
to
correct
occupancy
from
a
store
and
four
dwelling
units
to
five
dwelling
units.
No
work
to
be
done.
The
violations,
article
17
section,
one
usable
open
space-
is
insufficient.
Maybe
an
address
for
the
record.
C
Let
me
just
see
if
that's
charles
is,
are
you
here
for
this
proposal?
I
see
your
hand
is
raised.
C
No
one,
second,
this
person
didn't
check
in.
X
I
am
sorry,
I'm
kevin
joyce
for
the
applicant.
I'm
sorry
good
afternoon.
X
Proposal
right,
this
first
came
on
on
august
31st.
It
was
deferred
until
today
the
the
proposal
was
to
legalize
the
building.
There's
five
residential
apartments,
the
old
records
at
isd
carry
it
as
four
apartments.
I
mean
four
apartments
and
one
store
where
it's
really
five
apartments.
X
It's
been
that
way
since
my
client
bought
it
in
1997
prior
to
that
city,
chair
carried
it
as
five
residential
units
on
the
tax
bill,
we
were
proceeding
before
the
board
on
august
31st.
The
board
didn't
have
a
question
or
two
for
the
architect.
It
was
a
communication
failure
and
it
was
deferred
until
today.
So
how
would
you
like
being
perceived.
A
Well,
why
don't
you
describe
first
of
all
remind
us
how
this,
if
this
has
been
the
same
way
since
1997?
What
has
brought
to
the
attention
of
isd?
I
don't
know.
X
It
actually
prompted
it.
My
client
was
inquiring
over
there.
He
wanted
to
do
some
work
in
the
building
and
he
was
told
that
the
occupancy
from
the
1934
long
form
stated
four
apartments
and
the
store
and
the
condition
of
the
building.
Since
1997
we
bought.
It
has
always
been
five
residential
units.
The
residential
unit
seeking
to
legalize
is
on
the
on
the
ground
floor.
A
Basement,
what's
the
size
of
this
of
this
ground
floor
unit,
the
garage
door.
A
Okay,
is
there,
is
there
a
request
for
some
building
code
relief
here.
X
No,
no
building
code
is
required.
The
beacon
hill
civic
association
asked
us
to
supply
them
with
the
memorandum
from
the
fire
code
consultant,
which
we
did
and
we've
also
filed
that
with
the
board.
The
architect
is
on
the
line
in
cases,
technical
issues
that
you
need
to
be
discussed,
yeah.
A
And
then
just
remind
me
when
we
deferred
it
last
time,
my
memory
is
a
little
foggy.
What
were
the
the
issues
with
the
drawings
that
we
had
problems
with
and
after
clarification
I
I
think.
X
A
Broke
down,
okay,
all
right!
Well,
in
any
case,
we're
really
dealing
only
with
the
issue
of
this
ground
level
unit
regardless
mr
barraza,
how
are
the
drawings.
AB
Good
afternoon
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
george
quinn
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
on
july
12th,
the
appellant
met
with
the
butters,
one
of
whom
had
concerns
regarding
potential
changes
to
the
facade
of
which
there
will
be
none.
The
beacon
hill,
civic
association
presented
no
opposition,
and
we
received
a
number
of
letters
of
support
at
this
time.
Our
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.
Q
C
BC
Well,
my
first
name
is
charles.
My
last
name
is
collins
and
I
live
at
31
south
russell
street,
so
I've
lived
at
south
hustle
street
for
a
number
of
years
actually
prior
to
1997,
and
I
don't
remember
being
invited
to
you
know
in
any
of
the
neighborhood
reach
outs
on
this
proposed
change
in
occupancy.
So,
and
also
I
want
to.
I
want
to
state
that
the
beacon
hill
civic
association
doesn't
represent.
BC
BC
His
tenants
are
problematic,
they
don't
respect
the
the
street,
the
trash
regulations,
the
the
recycling
rules.
There
are
been
issues
with
noise,
and
so
I
I
guess
the
owner
has
has
presented.
BC
You
know
that
he's
not
really
able
to
manage
a
multi-unit
building,
I'm
reluctant
to
give
him
the
benefit
of
the
doubt,
because
he
has
not
demonstrated
that
he's
a
good
neighbor.
A
BC
Best,
my
understanding
is
that
the
window
in
the
back
of
this
apartment
is
five
feet
off
the
ground,
so
it
would
be
very
difficult
for
anybody
to
leave
by
that
that
exit.
If
there
was
an
issue.
A
Okay,
mr
raza,
is
there
adequate
access
and
egress
on
this
ground
flooring
level
unit.
A
You
just
use
it.
You
think
that
arrangement
with
with
the
rear
window
meets
code.
V
E
Mr
chair,
mr
chairman,
I
just
we
do
have
a
letter
from
the
beacon
hill
civic
association
where
they
went
out
and
they
got
someone
that
consultant
named
fitzmeier
and
tachi
that
talks
about
the
window
that
you're
talking
about
and
the
fire
escape.
E
Yes,
I
can
summarize
it.
It
says
the
window
meets
all
dimensional
requirements,
the
code,
compliance
emergency
escape
and
rescue
opening
according
to
the
bhcc,
it's
in
non-opposition
to
the
request
for
relief,
and
then
it
does
say.
However,
the
request
for
to
inspect
the
approve
is
this
bedroom
window
egress
for
the
fire
code
prior
to
the
next
argument
occupying
unit
16a,
okay,.
A
Jeff?
Yes,
yes,
yes,.
AG
A
Yeah,
that's
that's
where
I
was
going:
okay,
so,
first
of
all
to
the
applicant.
I
think
that
apparently
there's
some
work
that
the
landlord
needs
to
be
doing
relative
to
his
neighbors
and
that's
outside
of
the
purview
of
the
zba.
But
we
would
strongly
recommend
that
that
some
healing
and
mending
offenses
be
done.
But
I'm
looking
for
a
motion
now.
A
E
Ask
for
your
name
and
address
calling
boa
116,
1771,
168,
gov
street
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
Mr.
AK
AK
The
project
sure
and
we're
back
before
the
board,
we
did
take
a
deferral
at
the
last
hearing
for
two
reasons:
one
there
was
a
question
relative
to
a
an
old
easement
that
is
shown
on
our
site
plan
that
was
raised
by
isd
as
well
as
mr
broome.
AK
We've
gone
back
and
done
a
thorough
and
more
extensive
title
exam
and
it
determined
that
that
easement
is
extinguished,
because
the
lots
that
were
originally
established
have
been
combined
into
common
ownership
and
therefore
the
purpose
of
the
easement,
and
certainly
the
intensities
that,
when
it
was
created,
serves
no
no,
no
further
purpose.
So
we
will
update
our
site
plan
with
ist
to
have
that
reflected,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
was
clear
for
the
record.
AK
AK
Isd
and
the
plans
that
are
stamping
before
the
board
is
for
six
units.
Okay,.
AK
Is
outdated,
outdated,
that's
correct.
The
original
plan
was
for
eight
with
that
vertical
edition
that
has
been
modified
based
on
community
process.
All
right,
thank
you
sure.
So,
as
I
was
saying,
this
is
the
proposed
change
would
go
from
four
units
to
six
units,
and
this
building
that
was
acquired
on
a
client
about
just
under
two
years
ago
is
certainly
in
need
of
upgrades
and
repairs.
The
building
is
probably
close
to
100
years
old.
AK
Obviously
we
intend
to
preserve
the
existing
structure,
as
you
can
see
from
the
photos
that
I
provided
as
well
as
the
site
plan.
The
building
currently
occupies
pretty
much
the
entire
footprint
of
the
site,
with
a
non-functional
garage
located
to
the
rear.
AK
The
proposal
again
based
on
some
of
the
comments
and
I'm
sure,
you'll
hear
these
was
to
do
a
complete
rehabilitation
of
the
building.
We've
worked
with
our
architect
and
the
project
proponent,
and
at
this
time
the
only
areas
of
the
building
that
would
be
modified,
the
first
level
to
police
and
the
rear
portion
of
the
building.
That
would
allow
us
to
create
two
three
duplex
or
bi-level
style
units
on
the
first
in
basement
levels.
AK
I
do
have
eric
zacherson,
who
can
answer
questions
about
the
egress,
the
windows
etc,
and
to
confirm
that
those
are
all
in
compliance
with
the
building
code.
What
that
does,
mr
chairman
does
allow
us
to
work
within
this
building
and
not
have
to
relocate
or
terminate
any
tendencies
for
the
upper
levels
that
will
be
levels
two
three
and
four
which
are
presently
occupied
by
tenants,
so
we're
happy
to
continue
a
dialogue
working
with
them.
AK
However,
this
would
allow
us
to
simply
makes
begin
the
upgrades
of
the
building
start
at
the
lower
level
and
then
eventually
we
will
get
to
renovations
of
the
upper
units
as
well,
but,
but
certainly
there's
no
immediate
need
to
change
anything
with
respect
to
those
tenants.
AK
I
know
that
has
been
a
significant
issue
and
I'm
sure
you'll
hear
some
of
the
opposition
that
is
raised,
and
I
know
my
client
understanding
the
importance
of
of
trying
to
work
with
these
kind
of
tenants
was
sensitive
to
that,
and
certainly
where
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
not
have
to
displace.
While
we
still
take
this
chance
to
in
you
know,
improve
the
property
as
well,
as
you
know,
create
you
know,
condition
that
is
probably
more
safe
and
more
habitable.
AK
The
unit
sizes,
mr
chairman,
the
lower
levels,
one
and
two
would
be
850
950
square
feet
respectively.
Those
are
both
two
bedroom
units.
The
third
unit
which
is
existing
would
be
about
1150
square
feet.
That
is
a
3d
bedroom
1180
for
the
fourth
1180
for
the
fifth
and
again,
those
are
both
three
bedrooms
and
then
the
six
unit
which
we
located
to
the
rear,
which
involves
the
sort
of
the
reprogramming
of
the
non-functional
garage,
is
about
800
square
feet,
and
that
is
that
would
be
considered
two
bedrooms.
AK
As
I
said
from
a
zoning
standpoint,
article
53
has
this
as
a
multi-family
residential
building.
We
would
comply
that
any
change
in
use
would
not
require
any
zoning
relief
to
go
from
four
to
six
units.
We
do
require
relief
for
the
additional
lot
area.
We
have
a
pre-existing
condition
that
is
already
non-conforming,
so
any
increase
in
number
of
units
would
require
relief
for
the
additional
lottery
for
dwelling
unit.
AK
We'd
be
also
increasing
the
far
to
the
extent
that
we'd
be
adding
habitable
space
in
both
the
lower
level,
as
well
as
the
rear,
where
that
with
that
garage
will
be
reprogrammed,
so
we
would
require
relief
for
the
additional
fair
that
we're
proposing.
There
were
previous
violations
that
were
cited
for
height,
etc
and
rooftop
restrictions.
AK
Mr
chairman
of
the
updated
plans
reflect
that
we
are
not
making
any
modification
of
the
roof
of
this
building,
so
we're
not
increasing
the
height
we're
not
even
proposing
a
roof
deck.
There
is
already
an
existing
head
house
that
services
the
roof
for
maintenance
purposes,
with
respect
to
the
last
and
at
least
respect
the
parking.
AK
This
again
being
a
pre-existing
four-unit
dwelling
is
already
non-conforming
with
respect
to
the
parking,
the
only
parking
that
would
be
required
with
the
two
additional
spaces
that
the
zoning
code
indicates
would
be
required
for
additional
dwelling
units.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
the
board.
A
AK
That
that
is
correct,
so
we
did
indicate
to
the
community,
through
the
last
dividers
meeting,
that
we
would
be
reducing
this
down
and
not
including
the
upper
level.
More
importantly,
as
you
can
see
from
this
profile
view
here,
this
rear
portion
of
the
building
was
actually
a
full
addition
up
to
the
fourth
level
that
has
also
been
modified
and
pulled
back
as
well.
AK
A
So,
okay,
so
then
there's
a
there's
a
little
there's
attack
on
a
proposed
deck
on
top
of
the
the
edition
right.
That
is
correct.
AK
For
all
intents
and
purposes,
mr
chairman,
the
building
exterior
remains
the
same.
This
is
essentially
interior
reprogramming
upgrade
to
life
safety,
to
the
extent
that
there's
any.
A
And
the
basement
units
are
part
of
our
of
are
part
of
duplexes
right
from
yeah
garage
flooring
basement.
AK
That's
correct:
they
were
curved
into
the
first
level,
so
you
at
your
main
level,
is
on
level
one
and
that
would
be
additional
living
space
in
the
lower
level
and
again
mr
zacherson
is
present
to
explain
code
compliance
with
respect
to
egress
and
windows.
Okay,.
A
So
I'd
like
to
hear
our
usual
rafter
questions
about
basement
florida
ceiling,
florida
gray,
what
what
is
programmed
in
the
basement
and
what
is
on
the
first
floor.
So
if
he
could
go
through
that,
that
would
be
helpful.
AK
Sure
eric,
if
you
could
just
clarify
for
the
chairman,
those
specific
points
that
would
be
helpful.
R
All
right,
the
the
plan
is
that
unit
one
and
two
which
are
in
the
first
floor
and
basement
of
the
existing
building
would
be
living
in
kitchen.
On
the
first
floor,
with
bedrooms
and
in
the
basement,
which
I
believe
is
five
feet
below
grade
and
when
all
is
said
and
done
would
have
a
seven
foot.
Ten
inch
ceiling
the
unit
six,
which
replaces
the
garage.
R
AK
AI
A
And
that's
in
the
and
it's
a
relatively
level
plot,
so
it's
5
foot
10
all
the
way
around
correct.
Okay,.
D
R
And
the
the
rear
unit,
which
is
taking
the
place
of
the
workshop
storage
former
garage,
would
have
the
living
kitchen
in
the
in
the
basement
portion
with
the
bedrooms.
On
the
first
floor.
A
R
So
each
of
the
each
of
the
units
has
internal
staircase,
leading
up
to
the
first
floor
and
from
that
the
the
rear
unit
exits
directly
onto
the
street.
The
other
two
exit
into
the
main
corridor,
which
exits
straight
onto
the
grove
street.
R
A
D
Mean
I
so
my
opinion
is
that
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
adding
a
unit
to
you
know
replacing
the
garage
the
unit
the
footprint
was
already
existing.
I
have
a
problem
with
having
bedroom
units
submerged
in
the
basement.
A
D
The
basement
has
bedroom
units
on
unit
one
and
unit
two
there's
bedrooms
in
the
basement.
A
Okay,
I
I
I
we
we.
We
have
never
approved
bedrooms
in
a
below
grade
basement
and
this
one
is
so
far
below
grid.
We
often
haven't
approved
any
living
space
of
any
kind
other
than
maybe
a
play
room
or
utilities.
AK
It
I
believe,
mr
chairman,
the
the
they're
somewhat
interchangeable.
I
I
think
we
can
accomplish
living
space
on
the
main
level
in
other
non-bedroom
space
at
the
lower
level.
A
I'm
very
I'm
just
personally
speaking,
I'm
very
uncomfortable
with
the
lack
of
a
second
means
of
egress
anyway,
any
any
other
comments,
ms
barraza.
A
Is
there
anyone
who
wants
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
applicant?
Oh,
mr
hampton,
do
you
have
any
comments
from
the
bpda.
AG
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chair,
as
you
saw
in
our
recommendation,
we
based
our
recommendation
for
denial
and
that
was
not
seeing
the
new
plans
we
were
under
the
assumption.
Still,
I
think
our
recommendation
was
made
back
in
april,
so
it
was
on
the
proposal
for
eight
units
and
a
fifth
floor
edition.
We
didn't
get
to
review
the
changes
to
this,
so
I
can't
you
know
tell
one
way
or
the
other
how
or
even
if
our
recommendation
would
have
changed.
J
Good
afternoon
mr
chair
members
of
the
board
lina
family
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
the
recording
opposition
for
this
proposal.
At
this
moment,
this
proposal
didn't
receive
enough
support
from
the
aparters
there's
still
many
concerns
regarding
the
number
of
units
as
well,
the
lack
of
parking,
the
height
of
the
building
and
the
density,
and
we
didn't
have
any
notification
as
well
about
the
reduction.
The
eviction.
J
There
was
a
main
concern,
but
we
didn't
know
by
the
applicant
that
they
were
going
to
put
these
residents
in
another
location.
Thank
you.
J
Changing
we
moved
the
fifth
floor
and
they
said
that
they
were
going
to
remove
as
well
the
roof
deck.
C
AU
Z
So
I
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
again
on
the
project
for
a
couple
reasons:
one
there's
a
concern
about
displacement.
I
do
recognize
this
developer
so
that
they're
in
the
middle
of
having
that
conversation,
I
think
that
conversation
should
be
settled
before
this
board
rules
or
supports
in
any
way
shape
or
form
this
project.
Z
I
also
understand
that
there's
attempts
to
still
negotiate
on
the
design
and
as
the
new
design
has
just
come
up
for
many
people
in
terms
of
the
height.
I
think
it
would
be
worthy
of
giving
additional
time,
at
least
for
the
tenants
and
for
these
direct
developers
to
see
if
they
can
come
to
an
agreement
with
the
owner.
Z
I'm
very
concerned
about
displacement,
as
you
know,
and
I
I
cannot
support
this
until
I
see
that
there's
a
there's,
a
good
space
effort
and
to
protect
the
tennis
and
to
make
sure
that
they
are
they're
settled
in
this
home.
I'd
also
like
to
note,
I
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
becoming
condos
or
not,
but
if
it
is
that
they're
normally.
If
this
is
just
one
more
stories
higher
for
support
family,
there
would
be
the
condo
conversion
losses
that
we're
protecting
the
tenants
as
well
and
there's
also
passed
in
boston.
Z
AK
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Can
I
respond
briefly
briefly
yeah
and,
with
all
due
respect
to
the
counselor,
I
I
believe
what
we're
doing
in
response
to
concerns
that
we
heard,
although
they're
not
necessarily
specific
zoning
code
issues,
the
reprogramming,
the
redesign
of
what
we've
you
know
presented
here.
The
board
has
taken
specifically
into
consideration
the
existing
tenants
in
the
building.
The
tenants
have
worked
through
certain
advocacy
groups
to
oppose
this
project
when
it
was
a
complete
rehab
with
an
addition.
AK
A
Well,
mr
mr
lanza,
I
understand
that
your
that
your
proposal
has
changed.
I
understand
that
some
of
the
opposition
was
based
on
an
earlier
version,
but
I
would
rather
hear
from
the
tenants
themselves
than
you
about
you
know
what
what.
AN
F
Sorry,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
paul
sullivan
city
council,
michael
flaherty
council,
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
echoing
sentiments
at
council
edwards.
C
BD
Apartment
street
and
melvin
bro
that
I
am
a
father
and
my
daughter
goes
to
school
across
the
street.
We
are
in
opposition,
we
are
in
our
position
and
against
the
168
golf
conversion
that
will
convert
our
four
family,
naturally
affordable.
Building
to
what
we
thought
was
a
eight
unit,
luxury
rental
building.
BD
We
were
never
told
about
and
never
communicated
about
these
project
changes
we
found
out
right
now
when
they
were
announced.
We
were
never
approached
with
any
multi-year
negotiation
to
keep
us
housed.
It's
pretty
clear
that
any
work
like
this
and
any
redevelopment
for
luxury
units
is
going
to
this
place
right
and,
like
I
said
there
isn't
going
to
be
if
they
really
say
that
there
isn't
going
to
be
displacement,
that
they
need
to
sit
down
with
us
and
negotiate
this
on
record.
C
C
V
My
name
is
francis
amador.
I
live
in
168
pub
street
apartment
four,
and
I'm
also
here
to
say
that
we
never
heard
about
these
changes.
We
have
seen
the
agenda
on
the
cba
and
is
still
with
the
same
project
as
last
month.
We
have
never
heard
from
the
landlord's
office
directly
of
any
changes
and
make
it
clear
that
this
proposal
would
not
displace
us.
They
have
not
communicated
to
us
in
faith
in
a
good
faith.
C
A
Okay,
I
I
mean,
I
think
I
think
we
have
heard
enough.
I
think,
there's
at
a
minimum,
a
lack
of
communication
and
maximum
some
unresolved
problems.
Can
I
can.
I
have
any
emotion
please.
V
AO
A
Those
in
favor
all
opposed
motion
carries
so
denial
without
prejudice
allows
the
applicant
to
take
one
more
shot
at
trying
to
sort
some
of
these
things
out
as
councilor
edward
suggested,
but
that
that's
that's
the
verdict
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
E
E
E
AA
Chair
members
of
the
board,
john
moran
alpine
advisory
services
with
the
mailing
address
of
130
beach
road,
mr
chair,
this
matter
was
be
originally
before
the
board.
Okay,.
A
AA
First,
if
we
could
go
to
a5
on
the
plans,
it
would
be
helpful.
AA
We
are
seeking
first,
a
variance
to
install
a
hatch
rather
than
a
the
required
head
house.
The
hatch
in
the
landmarks
district
has
been
an
acceptable
compliance
alternative
and
approved
by
the
board
in
numerous
occasions,
and
we're
seeking
a
variance
in
this
matter
to
install
the
the
usual
patch
okay.
AA
A
Mr
raza,
obviously
the
the
request
for
the
hatch
instead
of
the
penthouse
is
the
welcome
request.
What's
your
feeling
about
the
this
egress
ladder,
stairwell.
D
A
Okay,
so
then,
why
don't
so
then,
before
we
get
on
to
the
zoning,
can
you
please
make
a
motion
about
both
the
building
code
relief
questions.
A
AA
The
on
the
g
card,
we
have
complied
with
the
requirements
for
the
issuance
of
a
conditional
use
permit
for
g-cod
water
and
store
has
issued,
and
we
have
filed
the
stamped
approved
plans
in
their
compliance
letter,
and
we
have
also
filed
the
whole
timeless
letter
with
the
groundwater
trust
and
request
a
g
card.
Permit.
A
Okay,
do
we,
mr
fortune,
do
we
have
the
letter?
Yes,
we
do.
Okay,
can
I
vote?
Can
you
can
you
please
make
a
motion
on
that.
AA
We
are
seeking
a
conditional
use
permit
for
the
for
decks
in
the
rear.
Again,
if
we
can,
reference
a5
would
be
helpful.
The
only
deck
that
projects
off
the
rear
of
the
addition
into
the
rear
yard
is
at
the
basement
level,
which
is
not
the
first
story
and
does
not
require
a
conditional
use
from
it.
The
other
proposed
decks
that
do
project
above
the
first
story
are
projecting
into
the
side
yard
they
project
six
feet
into
the
side
yard
in
the
decks
are
six
by
seven
feet
and
they
can't
believe
it.
AA
AA
If
the
board
approves
the
proposed
decks,
the
open
space
requirements
are
fulfilled
of
200
square
feet
per
dwelling
unit.
There
are
three
drawing
units.
There
would
be
adequate
open
space
with
the
decks
approved.
A
Okay,
the
proposed
roof
deck,
which
is
now
going
to
be
accessed
by
hatch,
is
that
for
the
upper
use
of
the
upper
unit,
only
correct
okay
and
you
said
you're
8.75
square
feet
over
the
permitted,
330
square
feet,
and
so
you
have
like
341.
AA
AA
Well,
we
went
back
a
number
of
times
with
the
plan
examiner
on
other
matters
and
he
was
correcting
it.
We
are
prepared
to
make
it
3
30,
but
we
did
not.
We
had
gone
back
three
times
on

BB
I
believe,
mr
secretary,
you
did
read
the
modified
plans,
which
is
a
four
unit
building
with
seven
parking
spaces,
although
I
I
there
were
another,
it
was
a
violation
still
under
the
nine,
so
I'm
just
going
to
read
it
to
the
record.
This
project
has
been
modified
from
originally
a
nine
unit
project
with
nine
parking
spaces.
BB
It
is
now
four
units
with
seven
parking
spaces
and
in
making
those
modifications
we
actually
removed
the
roof
deck
on
the
building
reduced
the
unit
count,
but
remove
the
violation.
Our
rare
setback
has
now
been
removed
as
a
violation,
as
well
as
lowering
a
number
of
the
violations
as
well,
which
I'll
get
into.
I
just
wanted
to
be
sure
that
that
violation
for
the
record
was
was.
A
Okay,
so
this
is
the
second
time
today
that
something
is
advertised
and
different
on
the
agenda
that
actually
was
being
proposed.
What's
the
reason
for
that
is
that
a
question.
BB
A
I
mean
it
is
a
significantly
different
project
to
four
units
versus
nine
units.
Mr
miss
varaza
are
the
drawings
that
you
reviewed
reflect.
Then
it's
for
a
four
unit
dwelling.
D
Yes,
I'm
looking
at
the
drawings
now
and
it
does
have
seven
parking
spaces,
so
that
is
correct
and
I'm
seeing
four
units.
So
I
do
have
those
updated
plans.
BB
D
A
All
right,
okay,
well,
there's
a
certain
amount
of
confusion,
but
we'll
just
keep
keep
going
forward
into
the
fog.
Mr
greg,
please
please
describe
the
the
current
proposal
with
four
units
and
seven
parking
spaces.
BB
So
the
new
proposal,
as
was
mentioned,
is
four
units:
seven
associated
parking
spaces
in
the
back
entered
through
a
curb
cut
shown
on
the
design
you're.
Looking
at
now,
the
just
to
go
over
the
floor
plan
a
unit,
one
is
an
accessible
unit,
accessible
through
a
side
entrance
side
ramp
on
the
right
side
of
the
building.
That
is,
a
two-bedroom
two-bath
1155
square
foot
unit.
BB
Again,
the
seven
parking
spaces
that
you
can
see
here
are
in
the
back.
Those
are
all
full-size
spaces,
so
eight
and
a
half
by
20
with
a
20
foot
turning
radius
area
in
the
back
back
out
clearance
area
for
the
spaces
as
well.
We
go
up
to
the
second
floor.
There
are
now
two
units
on
that
floor.
Those
are
both
three
bedroom
two
bath
units
at
1,
25
square
feet
and
1
205
square
feet.
Those
both
have
both
rear
and
front
decks.
BB
BB
BB
It's
a
3,
f,
5,
000
square
foot
district,
so
we
are
proposing
four
units,
so
we
do
still
have
a
use
violation.
Our
lot
size
just
to
mention
is
7077
square
feet.
BB
BB
A
S
BB
That
you
can
step
right,
sorry,
that
that
shows
as
well
so
there's
a
11
foot
drop,
curb
cut
and
driveway
on
the
left
hand
side,
mr
chair,
that
goes
back
to
the
spaces
and
then
there's
green
space
beyond
those
spaces
as
well.
15
feet,
eight
inches
of
actual
green
space
and
then
the
paved
area
for
the
for
the
park.
A
BB
AG
R
Yeah
one
second,
the
building
is,
on
the
left
side
97
feet
long
from
the
from
the
back
deck
to
the
front
corner.
If
you
were
to
take
the
exterior
wall
on
the
second
floor,
which
is
kind
of
the
worst
case
scenario,
you
would
have
a
building,
that's
92
feet,
8
inches.
BA
A
What's
that
is
that
answering
questions?
Okay?
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
AE
Good
afternoon
chair
many
members
of
the
board,
this
is
jason
gant
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
project.
They
have
been
working
tirelessly
with
the
project
right,
neighborhood
association
to
make
sure
they've
won,
take
any
concerns
or
questions
into
account
and
reach
back
out
to
the
neighbors.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they
continue
working
with
project
right
and
make
sure
that
the
property
maintained.

Yes,

I
want

has
met
several
times
with
neighbors
and
addressed
many
of
their
concerns
from
going
from

we
are
looking

to
continuing

BF
BF
BF
BF
A
All
right,
let
let's
see
okay
yeah.
No,
I
I
recall
that
the
issue
was
that
there
was
some
information
that
was
lacking.
BF
A
A
Is
that
the
only
planned
view
that
we
have?
Oh
there,
we
go
yes,
okay!
Mr
ross,
have
you
reviewed
these
documents.
D
I
have
and
there's
also
a
plot
plan,
so
I
have
been
able
to
review
the
plot
plan
you're,
proposing
four
parking
spaces
and
I
would
imagine
the
whole
rear
is
asphalt.
Yes,
okay,.
A
A
Okay,
how's
mraza:
what
do
you
think?
Can
you
bring
that
plow
plan
back
up.
D
Yeah
I
mean
I,
the
the
drawings
are
adequate.
You
know
mike.
My
concern
is
very
similar
to
I
have
concerns
when
asphalt
takes
over
open
space,
and
you
know
it's
a
pretty
modest
construction.
You
know
it's
pretty
straightforward.
I
just
would
like
for
the
applicant
to
consider
open,
create
space.
You
know,
perhaps
through
the
surface
of
the
material.
You
know
it
doesn't
have
to
be
asphalt,
but
yes
of
sort.
BF
A
Well,
it's
also
look
at
this
and
it
seems
to
me
all
four
cars
are
parked
there.
I
don't
see
how
the
back
three
could
get
around
the
first
one.
It
seems
like
there's
a
problem
with
maneuverability
yeah.
You
know.
Perhaps
if
we
approve
this
well,
they
can
be
designed
with
you
to
re-reconfigure
the
the
parking
for
both
ms
barraza's
concern
as
well
as
maneuverability.
A
Okay,
all
right
any
questions
from
the
board.
A
Mr
fortune
did
mr
dominco
win
on
this.
With
respect
to
parking,
he
did
not.
Okay,
all
right
is
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
AR
Yes
good
afternoon,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board
dante
people
here
at
the
men's
house,
immigrant
services
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
and
at
opposition
of
this
proposal,
mostly
dealing
with
the
lack
of
communication
with
the
two
circles
in
the
area,
which
would
be
the
woodhaven
covered,
regis,
neighborhood
association,
as
well
as
the
greater
matapan
neighborhood
council.
I
believe
the
last
time
the
applicant
was
in
contact
and
has
pulled
the
association
was
november
2020..
AR
You
know
the
mayor's
office
would
again
like
to
go
on
a
record
opposition,
but
would
you
know
like
to
have
the
applicant
come
to
the
wood
haven
association,
community
monthly
meeting,
which
is
october
4th?
They
have
been
invited-
and
you
know
we
would
like
to
you-
know-
see
this
about
the
applicant
just
work
with
the
community
and
come
to
that
meeting,
and
he
will
come
to
bell
from
there.
But
at
this
time
again
we
would
like
more
regular
opposition.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
E
You,
mr
chair,
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that
mr
people
said
the
letter
we
do
have
is
from
november
2020
from
the
greater
matapan
civic
association.
So
he
is
correct
when,
in
regards
to
that.
BF
C
Like
mike's
all
set
no
other
ways
at
the
moment.
A
Okay,
you
know
I
I
if,
if
the
opposition
is
based
on
communication
problems,
as
opposed
to
the
merits
of
the
project,
and
if
there
are
still
some
items
that
probably
need
to
be
redesigned,
I
think
either
a
deferral
or
a
denial
without
prejudice
would
be
appropriate
so
that
they
can
kind
of
check
all
the
boxes
and
come
back
with
a
fully
gutted
project.
So
I
would
entertain
the
motion.
I
would.
A
Is
there
a
second
second
all,
those
in
favor,
aye,
aye,
aye
opposed
all
right,
ms
braza
opposes
and
and
again
for
the
applicant.
The
basis
for
the
denial
with
our
prejudice
is
not
necessarily
on
the
merits
of
the
project,
but
on
the
lack
of
communication,
and
also
maybe
you
can
use
that
time
to
connect
with
the
neighborhood
associations
and
to
reconfigure
the
parking
for
more
green
space
and
maneuverability.
A
BF
Oh
okay,
we'll
do
that.
Unfortunately,
we
we
did
go
to
some
of
the
meetings
they
didn't
actually
invited
us.
I
think,
mr,
I
think
we're
we're
in
a
loss
because
we
seem
to
be
waiting
for
it
for,
for
you
guys
to
to
to
deal
with
these
things
that
we
keep
on.
I
would.
A
E
Calling
the
next
case
calling
doa
one
two
one:
five:
nine:
zero:
five,
thirty,
four
thirty
four
high
street.
This
is
constructing
new
two-story
addition
onto
an
existing
dwelling.
Addition
will
feature
two
level
oreo
window
there'll
be
a
new
deck
built
on
the
rear,
rear
yard,
which
will
cover
existing
parking
spaces
violations.
Article
62,
section
29,
our
speed
parking
is
insufficient.
Article
62,
section
8,
the
rare
yard's
insufficient
and
article
62
section
8,
the
usable
open
space
is
insufficient.
Leave
an
address
for
the
record.
Please.
BG
BG
This
is
a
proposal
to
add
a
two-story
addition
to
the
rear
of
the
applicant's
home.
It
will
also
have
a
rear
deck
coming
off
of
the
edition,
which
will
cover
the
existing
parking
spots.
This
is
a
kind
of
a
historic
facade
to
this
building.
It's
a
two-story
building
in
charlestown,
where
the
surrounding
buildings
are
all
three
or
four
stories.
The
idea
here
was
to
observe
and
maximize
the
space
on
the
on
the
underused
lot.
BG
So
the
all
the
changes
to
the
plan
will
be
consistent
with
the
historic
nature
and
character
of
the
property.
The
rear
of
the
yard
you'll
soon
be
replaced
with
the
addition.
The
deck
will
go
over
the
existing
parking,
the
violations
for
for
rear
yard
setback
and
open
space
use.
BG
We
are
not,
we
do
not
have.
We
are
not
exceeding
the
far
we're
not
exceeding
any
height
restrictions
and,
as
you
can
see
on
the
plan,
the
parking
will
be
existing
and
the
curb
cut
is
existing
there.
So
the
the
applicant
is
it's:
a
family
they've
lived
there
for
a
number
of
years.
Family
has
grown,
they
have
additional
children.
Now
they
attend
boston
public
school.
The
idea
is
to
increase
the
square
footage
of
property,
so
they
can
remain
in
boston
in
the
public
school
system,
and
I
can
answer
any
questions.
BG
A
This
is
this:
one
is
one
of
the
cases
that
came
before
the
sub
community.
That's
right,
and
this
was
the
one
when,
when
mr
fortune
read
the
recommendations,
this
was
the
one
that
was
deferred
to
the
full
board,
just
because
it
seemed
a
little
bit
more
complex
than
the
usual
de
minimis
projects
that
we
consider
at
the
subcommittee.
A
Mr
robinson
was
the
architect
at
the
subcommittee
and
raised
some
questions.
Miss
verazza,
I
don't
know
if
you've
had
a
chance
to
look
it
over.
I'm
trying
to
remember
some
of
the
things
that
mr
robinson
raised.
I
don't
know,
mr
fortune,
if
you
remember,
but
there
was,
I
think,
a
lot.
There
was
concern
about
lot
coverage
and
I
think
that
was
primarily
the
main
concern
because
of
the
rear
edition
yeah.
E
I
I
think
you're
100
right,
but
also
mr
d'amico
had
weighed
in
on
this
one
as
well,
and
I
could
put
that
into
the
record.
So
the
other
board
members
can
hear
that.
Okay.
E
Yeah
regarding
34
high
street,
both
spaces
are
too
small
and
do
not
meet
the
btd
standards,
and
the
curb
cut
does
not
align
with
the
parked
vehicles.
D
Yes,
so,
mr
chair,
I
reviewed
the
drawings
and
my
concern
really
was
that
you're
replacing
open
space
again
with
a
unit
with
expanded
floor
plans,
so
I
I
have
that's
really
my
main
concern.
If
you're
a
growing
family,
where
do
they
play,
you
know?
Where
do
the
kids
play.
BG
Sure
so,
and
taking
that
into
consideration,
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
they
added
the
rear
deck
because,
as
I
said,
we're
not
we're
not
going
over
the
far
and
without
the
rear
deck
we
wouldn't
even
go
over
the
rear
yard
setback.
So
just
that
would
be
the
usable
open
space
and
that's
why
the
deck
was
added.
BG
In
addition,
in
charlestown
children
often
play
in
the
numerous
different
parks
in
the
area.
It's
common
to
have
the
parents
take
the
children
to
the
parks.
The
monument
is
right
right
nearby,
harvard
park
and
there's
also
numerous
other
parks
around
charlestown.
BG
BG
BG
The
existing
is
1491
was
the
assistant
gross
square
feed.
The
proposed
is
2566..
BG
AI
Yeah
good
afternoon,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
caitlin
stapleton
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
The
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal,
and
a
butters
meeting
was
held
on
july
1st
by
our
office,
where
there
were
no
concerns
shown
by
butters.

At
the
hearing,

concerned
about

provided
two

studies

cause
a
de

impact
on
the

with

to
traffic.
That

she

A
Okay,
mr
keith,
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you've
felt,
like
the
decision
was
based
on
an
incomplete
record.
Virtually
every
applicant
that
doesn't
get
a
positive
outcome
from
us
could
make
the
same
argument.
I've
been
actually
quite
disturbed
that
in
the
last
year
there's
been
a
we.
A
We
used
to
almost
never
get
motions
for
reconsideration,
it's
it
and
it's
become
more
prevalent
because
you
know
attorneys
can
figure
out
a
way
to
try
to
maneuver
around
the
system
if
they
get
an
outcome
that
they're
not
pleased
with,
and
you
may
not
like
what
we
what
we
came
up
with.
You
may
not
agree
what
we
came
up
with,
but
the
fact
is
that
we
went
through
a
process
that
I
think
was
was
relatively
exhaustive
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
came
up
with
a
conclusion.
A
So
I
am
reluctant
excuse
me,
I'm
speaking,
I
let
you
speak,
so
I
am
reluctant
in
general
unless
there
is
a
severe
breakdown
of
process
on
our
end,
which
could
happen,
but
I
don't
see
that
as
having
happened
in
this
case,
I
am
reluctant
to
get
to
consider
matters
for
reconsideration.
There
are
other
methods
if
you
were
tonight,
there
are
other
methods
you
have
to
to
produce
a
a
different
proposed,
qualitatively
different
proposal
with
the
proponents
and
come
back
to
us.

BH
The
secretary
of
your
board
said
that
we
had
no
letters
of
support
the
the
documents,
the
documents
that
that
stephanie
haynes
referred
to
the
letters.
A
The
violation
that
triggered
the
the
the
situation,
the
trigger
the
violation,
is
still
there,
and
that
was
what
prompted
us
to
take
the
vote
that
we
did
so
again.
But
mr.
A
We've
heard
you-
and
we
were
now
prepared
to
to
take
this
under
consideration,
I'm
looking
for
a
motion.
A
A
Opposes
the
motion
carries.
Thank
you,
that's.
That
is
the
that's
it
for
today
and
we
will
join
the
session.
Thank
you
all.
