this

name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
F
In
addition,
we
have
the
architect
marilyn
moldinger,
as
a
participant,
we're
before
you
this
evening,
with
the
request
for
a
conditional
use,
permit
or
violation
of
article
6225,
which
is
the
roof
structure
restriction
in
this
area
of
charlestown.
F
What
we're
doing
several
things:
we're
renovating
the
building
and
the
violation
as
a
result
of
an
expansion
of
the
dawner
on
the
front
and
the
rear.
A
Can
you
can
you
scroll
down
a
little,
please,
let's
look
so
we
could
see
the
existing
and
the
section.
F
Okay,
so
once
again
on
your
left,
you
see
the
existing
condition
where
you
have
those
areas
that
are
shaded
that
are
below
four
feet
by
raising
that
we
create
an
additional
119
square
feet
on
that
floor,
which
will
be
two
bedrooms.
This
is
a
single
family
home.
F
Results
in
the
violation,
which
is
the
reconfiguration
of
the
roof
line.
You
should
also
note
from
those
drawings
that
the
roof
height
does
not
change.
The
roof
height
continues
to.
A
So
the
the
the
additions
of
square
footage
are
in
the
are
in
the
attic
and
in
the
kitchen
bump
out
correct,
correct.
A
Okay,
this
is
pretty
straightforward,
ms
barraza,
how
are
the
plans
the.
G
A
That's
that's
fine,
okay!
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
proposal.
H
Yes,
good
evening,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
caitlin
stapleton
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
The
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
We've
received
letters
of
support
from
the
butters,
including
one
from
the
charlestown
preservation
society
upon
bpa
review.
Thank
you.
D
E
Following
your
next
case,
calling
doa
one
two,
four
two:
zero
one:
two
twenty
eight
cross
street.
This
is
in
addition
to
the
back
deck
off
the
master
bedroom
on
the
third
floor.
Deck
is
within
all
setbacks.
The
violation
is
article
62,
section,
25,
rule
structure,
restriction,
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
J
Gregory
mccarthy,
for
28
cross
street.
A
Tell
us
what
you're
proposing
please.
J
So
we're
proposing
a
back
deck
off
of
the
master
bedroom.
The
issue
is
that
the
front
of
the
building
is
three
stories
and
there's
a
rear.
There
was
a
rear
addition
that
was
two
stories
so
the
deck,
even
though
it's
within
the
setbacks
sits
on
top
of
a
roof.
J
So
the
access
is
just
by
a
door
and
not
by
a
head
house
or
roof
action.
A
J
D
I
I
was
not
very
clear
on
the
violation
I
saw
other
issues
with
the
project
in
terms
of
the
habitable
bedrooms
on
the
basement
floor,
but
in
terms
of
roof
restriction
it
it
works
within
the
existing
height
of
of
the
of
the
building
in
terms
of
minimum.
So
I'm
not
clear
about
that
violation.
D
What
I'm,
seeing
what
I'm
seeing
on
the
on
the
what
I
made
know
on
the
floor
plans
was
that
the
new
is
proposing
two
master
bedroom
units
versus.
What's
existing,
it's
just
showing
the
demo.
It
doesn't
show
that
there's
two
habitable
bedrooms
in
the
basement.
That's
existing.
J
I
guess
you
know
the
floor,
area
ratio
was
met
and
I
think
all
the
items
were
met.
So
it
was,
I
guess.
A
Okay,
well,
I'm
not
sure
if
you,
if
you're
aware
of
this
or
I
mean
the
reason
mr
barraza
is
raising
this-
is
this
board
has
a
very
skeptical
perspective
on
on
bedrooms
in
in
in
basements
that
are
below
grade,
but
since
that's
actually
not
what
is
before
us
with
respect
to
the
agenda,
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
we
can
take
any
action
on
that,
and
I
think
the
only
thing
that
we
can
take
action
on
is
the
the
back
deck
off
the
master
bedroom.
A
So
so,
as
far
as
you're
concerned,
the
plans
for
that
mr
raza
are
accurate.
H
Yes,
good
evening,
mr
chair
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.
Thank
you.
E
A
A
In
opposition
to
the
back
deck,
do
they
say
anything
about
that.
A
Okay,
is
there
any,
is
there
anybody
any
raised
hands.
A
All
right,
well,
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
these
habitable
rooms
in
the
basement,
but
that
is
not
what
has
come
before
us,
so
we
can't
really
adjudicate
it.
So
I
would.
I
I
apologize
and
patrick
is
on
he's
actually
on
the
phone.
He
was
having
some
connectivity
issues
for
for
50
elm.
We
want
to
go
back
to
that.
E
A
C
E
Go
ahead,
mr
fortune,
all
right,
all
in
the
next
case
calling
boa
one
two,
two

proposed

a

living

into
the
basement
and
renovate
the
violations.
Article

68,

33:

E
K
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
attorney
ryan
spitz,
with
adams
and
miranti,
representing
the
proponent
in
this
matter
today
with
me,
also
is
scott
trenner
from
chewing
company
who
will
be
joining
us.
This
is
a
proposal
to
change
an
existing
one
family
to
a
two
family
through
a
through
a
rare
edition
of
the
through
a
doomer
edition,
a
red
deck
off
of
the
second
floor.
A
new
second
means
of
egress
stairway
and
extending
livable
space
in
the
basement.
K
I'm
going
to
start
off
with
with
unit
number
one
is
approximately
about
1370
square
feet
consists
of
a
bi-level
that
we
have
a
first
floor
and
then
we
have
extended
livable
space
in
the
basement.
I
want
to
pay
specific
attention
to
one
little
thing
in
the
plans
in
there
that
you'll
notice
in
the
basement,
it
does
say
a
bedroom.
Unfortunately,
that
was
an
oversight,
so
that
should
have
been
that
should
have
been
struck
from
the
plans.
It's
just
going
to
be
livable
space.
K
One
thing
that
I
do
ask
the
board:
if,
at
the
end
of
this
presentation,
if
the
board
decides
to
approve
this
matter,
my
suggestion
would
be
to
add
a
proviso
that
no
bedroom
would
be
added
to
the
basement
as
long
as
we're
continuing
to
move
forward
with
with
the
plans
and
and
if
it's
acceptable
approval
to
the
board.
So
the
the
the
first
floor
itself
would
consist
of
would
consist
of
a
one
bedroom.
K
K
Well,
on
the
rear
of
the
property
that
you
will
notice
from
the
plants
and
then
moving
on
to
unit
number
two
unit
number
two
will
also
be
bi-level
and
approximately
about
1184
square
feet
of
living
space
that
you'll
notice
on
level
number
two
is
where
that
we,
we
were
also
cited
for
a
roof
structure
restriction
where
the
deck
would
be
walking
out
from
the
rear
of
the
property
which
is
directly
accessed
from
the
living
room,
and
this
also
on
that
same
level,
we'll
have
a
kitchen,
a
dining
room,
living
room,
bathroom
and
laundry
up
on
the
the
third
floor
itself
is
where
the
doomer
would
come
into
play.
A
Okay,
let
me
ask
a
few
questions:
what
is
the
current
use
of
the
basement
space.
K
So,
there's
storage
right
now,
there's
no
livable
space
down
there,
but
from
the
pre-existing
from
the
plants
that
I've
shown
pre-existing.
There
was
a
pre-existing
bathroom
in
that
basement
where
the
proposal
is
the
floor
to
ceiling
height
in
the
basement.
The
ceiling
height
in
the
basement
is
nine
feet.
I
believe.
Actually,
I'm
sorry
basement
yes
hold
on
one.
Second,
let
me
just
grab
the
so
the
basement.
L
Brian,
we
scott
trini
at
the
chu's
office
on
billings
road.
We
have
a
existing
ceiling
height
of
7-1
in
the
basement,
with
a
proposed
of
eight
foot
for
a
finished
ceiling,
height.
A
So
with
that
additional
11
inches
be
accomplished
by
excavation
yes,
mr
chairman,
and
and
once
it's
excavated
what
would
be
the
floor
to
silt
to
great.
L
No,
that's
okay,
so
we
have
the
difference
of
a
second,
so
a
difference
of
nine
inches.
So
the
current
basement,
slab
below
grade
is
negative.
Five,
one
so
plus
the
nine
inches
so
you're.
Looking
at
negative
510,
roughly.
A
I'm
asking
that
is
that
we
are
trying
to
avoid
basement
spaces
looking
like
dungeons
without
any
natural
light
and
being
largely
below
grade
you're
close
to
six
feet,
that's
significant!
If,
if
the
bedroom
is
moved
to
the
first
floor,
what
will
be
the
use
of
the
basement
space
under
your
proposed
plan?
So.
K
A
A
K
A
Okay,
is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
proponent?
Yes,.
N
B
Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman
members
of
the
board
anna
calleron
from
councillor
fling's
office,
the
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
recurring
support
based
on
feedback
from
neighbors
and
abortions,
as
this
proposal
is
going
from
one
family
to
a
two
family
and
will
remain
our
owner
occupy.
Thank
you.
E
Mr
chair,
we
have
we
secretary
here.
We
have
letters
of
support
as
well.
A
Okay,
then,
can
I
have
a
motion
please.
E
O
We're
proposing
a
roof
deck
on
the
roof
of
the
structure.
Obviously
it's
a
14
by
14
roof
deck
on
the
back
side
of
the
existing
three-story
dwelling,
we're
proposing
connecting
to
an
existing
rear
stair.
O
This
deck
will
not
be
seen
from
the
street.
It's
typical
deck
setup
for
the
area.
There
are
several
similar
decks
in
that
same
block
that
are
actually
some
bigger
than
this
one
and
some
similar
size.
But
it's,
I
think
I
believe
the
violation
was
the
height
and,
as
I
was
saying
overall,
it's
a
three-story
house
dwelling
with
a
very
similar
condition
in
the
areas.
A
Okay,
so
yeah,
can
you
scroll
down
a
little
bit
the
elevator?
I
want
to
see
that
elevation.
That
shows
the
no.
No,
no
I'm
sorry
the
other
direction.
Yeah
scroll.
G
A
There
we
go
for
post,
elevations
esperazza.
How
are
the
drawings.
D
C
D
Yes,
I
did
notice
that
they,
they
recommended
access
to
the
roof
via
roof
hatch
only
and
to
eliminate
the
exterior
staircase.
A
D
A
O
A
You
know
I
would
have,
I
think
their
recommendation
would
have
been
spot
on.
Had
there
been
no
staircase
at
all
in
this
case,
I'm
it's
sort
of
I'm
not
so
sure,
but.
N
Yes,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
during
the
community
process
conducted
by
my
colleague,
no
concerns
our
complaints
were
raised
by
the
neighbors.
Thank
you.
B
Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
bow,
are
anna
calderon
from
councillor
fling's
office.
The
counselor
would
like
to
record
in
a
position
based
on
feedback
from
neighbors
and
the
gate
of
heaven,
neighborhood
association,
due
to
concerns
about
quality
of
life,
issues
related
to
loud
noise
bodies
at
all
hours
and
trash
removal
that
we
witnessed
throughout
the
pandemic.
B
A
E
A
And
is
there
any
anything
from
the
gate
of
heaven,
association.
B
A
Okay,
mr
newman,
is
this:
do
you
have
the
same
data,
or
is
it
different
so
that.
N
Was
indicated
by
my
colleague,
so
my
colleague
had
stated
that
no
concerns
or
objections
were
raised
during
the
community
process.
So
unless
this
information
came
in
the
11th
hour,
we
don't
have
anything
on
file.
Okay,.
I
A
We
have
the
issue
of
the
exterior
staircase,
ms
marazza,
so
I
guess
I'm
looking
for
a
motion
at
this
point.
A
Okay,
do
you
want
to
given
this
without
prejudice?
That
means
that
we're
looking
for
that
applicant
can.
D
Come
back
and
rethink
that
exterior
stair
and
hopefully
propose
a
roof
hatch
instead
for
access.
Okay,.
A
A
All
right-
and
I
will
support
it
as
well,
so
the
motion
is
denied
without
prejudice
all
right.
E
I
Hey
joking,
all,
right
pedro,
can
you
hear
us?
Yes,
okay,
go
ahead,
can
you
state
your
name
and
I
just
for
the
record.
Please.
P
33
southern
street
boston,
we
we
removed
the
the
interior
stairs
to
the
to
the
exterior
of
the
house,
the
rear
right
of
the
house,
and
we
are
remodeling
the
the
apartment
like
we
got
him
and
renovating
the
whole
apartment
and
we
extending
the
living
space
for
the
first
floor
to
the
basement.
A
P
D
I
also
have
a
question
for
the
application.
D
A
Tell
us
about
the
basement,
when
you're
proposing
for
the
basement.
P
A
Okay
and
what
is
the
basement
currently
used
for.
P
P
A
The
height
of
the
floor
to
ceiling
in
the.
C
A
A
Okay,
because
we
all
whenever
there
is,
whenever
there's
a
request
to
extend
living
living
space
into
the
basement,
we
always
want
to
see
how
far
below
grade
this
living
space
is
given
that
there
are
already
bedrooms
there,
that's
even
more
problematic
and
given
that
you
don't
have
elevation,
so
we
can't
figure
it
out
that
becomes
even
more
problematic,
so
miss
barraza.
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
have
interrupted.
What
were
you
going
to
say.
P
D
D
P
I
know
that's
the
that's
just
that's
just
illustration:
is
it's
just
showing
that
24?
It's
is
the
the
maximum
height
of
the
clear
opening,
but
that's
not
the
size
of
the
window.
The
window
is
bigger.
The
window.
A
We
also
need
to
be
able
to
answer
miss
varaz's
question,
which
is
exactly
what
is
the
height
of
from
the
floor
to
the
grade
and
if
yours
and
if
your
ceilings
are
six
foot,
eight
there's
a
problem
to
begin
with,
that's
a
violation
code
violation.
A
I
think
I
think
that
makes
sense
to
deny
this
without
prejudice
and
ask
the
the
applicant
to
come
back
with
the
better
proposal.
D
Or
accurate
drawings
from
a
professional.
A
A
Emotions
yeah
excuse
me,
but
we
I
mean,
I
suppose
we
should
take
testimony
just
for
the
sake
of
the
process,
but
I,
the
truth
is,
I
think
I
know
where
we're
going
to
end
up
no
matter.
What
is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
proponent?
A
N
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman,
the
neighborhood
services
our
office
conducted
a
buttery
meeting
on
august
19th
2021
our
office
for
electrical
records,
support
most
of
its
existing
conditions.
We
don't
think
they'll
be
negatively
impacting
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
A
All
right,
but
I
think
we
should
go
forward
with
what
we
discussed
go
ahead
and
miss
marazza.
D
Mr
chair,
I
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
of
denial
without
prejudice
to
ensure
the
applicant
returns
with
accurate
drawings.
So
we
can
assess
the
project.
A
And
I
am
in
favor
as
well
so
to
the
applicant.
The
information
that
we're
looking
for
is
what
is
the
ceiling
to
the
floor
height
going
to
be
because
six
foot
eight
is
not
is
a
violation
of
code
and
then,
given
that
you
probably
have
to
go
a
few
inches
excavated,
go
a
few
inches
down.
A
What
will
that
make
the
the
floor
to
the
grade
height
be,
and
then
the
question
of
bedrooms
in
that
space
to
begin
with
is
problematic,
so
you
need
to
come
back
with
a
with
a
more
complete
proposal
and
a
better
set
of
drawings.
A
E
E
Following
your
next
case,
calling

Please.
Q
Good
evening
my
name
is
timothy
burke,
I'm
the
architect
for
the
project.
My
address
is
142
berkeley
street
in
boston
and
also
with
me
is
the
owner
rachel
dupont
and
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
present
this
project.
Q
Rachel
and
her
husband
live
on
the
second
floor.
It's
a
two
family
they're,
the
owners
and
occupiers
of
that
second
floor
unit.
They
have
a
growing
family
and
are
looking
for
some
additional
space,
so
we're
looking
to
expand
up
into
the
attic
partially,
not
the
entire
attic,
but
we
would
be
adding
673
square
feet
to
the
unit
and
we
did
have
a
good
positive
meeting
with
the
west
roxbury
neighborhood
association
and
many
of
the
neighbors
weighed
in
at
that
time
in
support.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
A
Okay,
so
how
much
additional
living
space
has
been
created.
Q
Yes,
it'll
follow
up
the
existing
stairway,
so
I'll
have
adequate
height
and
everything
code
y.
Is
there?
Yes.
Q
A
D
I
think
the
concern
mostly
was
to
lower
the
height
of
the
dormer,
so
it
doesn't
conflict
with
the
existing
ridge
right
bridge
line
of
the
roof.
But
I
would
I
would
leave
that
up
to
the
bpda.
A
Okay,
okay!
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
proposal.
R
Good
evening,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board
jack
duggan
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
just
like
to
go
on
record
support.
As
mr
burke
stated,
they
went
before
the
west
rockstar
neighborhood
council
back
in
august
and
received
their
full
support
and
there
were
some
neighbors
on
the
call
to
echo
all
that
support.
So
thank
you.
A
Okay,
can
I
have
a
motion,
please.
E
A
Okay,
you
tell
us
what
your.
S
It's
not
going
to
be
seen
by
anybody
except
the
occupant
and
the
train
in
the
backyard
going
by
at
45
miles
an
hour,
so
it
doesn't
exceed
the
footprint
on
either
side
and
the
neighbors
on
each
side
of
her
have
a
deck
similar,
and
I
don't
see
any
issues
to
build
this
and
not
sure
sure
what
the
opposition
could
even
be
at
this
point.
So.
A
The
the
violation
is,
is
side,
yard
right.
A
Okay,
so
that's
okay,
that
was
that
was
my
next
question.
Thank
you
for
thank
you
for
answering
it
ahead
of
time
and
and
what
is
it?
What
what
is
it
now
that
it'll,
the
deck
will
be
covering?
What's
there
now.
S
It's
just
a
backyard,
a
paved
area,
there's
there's
one
sort
of
landing
where
you
can
see
the
the
three
foot
two
which
in
existent
landing
going
down
to
the
backyard
and
that's
going
to
be
part
of
the
deck.
So
it's
going
to
have
two
stairs
one
from
the
landing
to
the
deck
and
one
from
the
deck
to
the
grade.
A
Okay,
can
we
look
at
a
plan
view?
I
just
want
to
see
the
the
side
yard
issue.
A
N
A
But
you're
telling
us
that
it
doesn't
exceed
the
the
side
of
the
existing
footprint
of
the
building,
correct,
correct.
A
S
I'd
say
it's
within
10
feet
might
be
nine
feet
and
some
change.
D
R
G
A
Let's
do
this,
let's
take
testimony
and
then
and
then
we
can
make
a
motion
that
will
address
that
issue.
R
A
I
mean
I
this,
mr,
this
seems
relatively
de
minimis,
but
we
still
need
to.
Can
we
recommend.
A
Well,
we
could,
we
could
signature,
we
could
we
could
do
yeah.
I
was
just
going
to
recommend
that
we
approve
and
hold
signature
until
you've
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
plot
plan
and
see
that
there
aren't
any
problems.
If
there
are
then
we'll
address
it
again,
but
we
can
approve
and
hold
signature.
D
A
A
I
too
will
approve,
so
we
are
looking
for
the
applicant
to
provide
a
plot
plan
so
that
miss
barazza
can
review
it
and
then
assuming
everything
is
copacetic,
then
we
can
go
forward.
S
So
let
me
ask
jack,
you
said
you
had
a
plot
plan.
A
No,
I
right,
we
just
don't
have
it
and
we
we,
the
architect,
didn't,
have
a
chance
to
review
it.
So
just
get
the
get
the
plot
plan
to
work.
If
the
deck
is
in
line
with
the
the
existing
line,
the
footprint
of
the
house,
there
won't
be
any
problem,
we
just
need
to
see
it.
So
how
do
I
disrespect
it?
I'm
sure
we
are
not
doubting
your
word.
We
have
to
see
it
on
the
plans.
S
E
E
This
is
also
at
a
family
room
out
back
on
the
first
floor.
Scope
also
includes
a
new
rare,
open
air
deck.
The
violations,
article
56
section,
8
floor
day
ratio
is
excessive.
Article
56,
section
8,
the
building
height,
is
excessive
in
stories.
Article
56,
section
8,
the
rare
yacht,
is
insufficient
and
article
56,
section
8.
The
side
yard
is
insufficient
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
A
Good
evening
tell
us
what
you,
what
you
intend
to
do.
M
We're
intending
on
putting
two
bedrooms
up
in
the
existing
attic
and
dormering
it
out
to
get
another
bedroom.
We
don't
have
enough.
We
have
three
kids
and
only
really
three
livable
bedrooms
and
we're
looking
to
put
a
family
room
out
back
for
a
little
more
space
there
as
well.
A
Okay
and
the
dormer
and
the
attic
will
add
how
much
living
space.
A
A
Okay
and
what
is
the
size
of
the
the
family
room
back
on
the
first
floor.
D
A
D
A
And
what
and
what
is
the
the
rear
yard
setback
gonna
be
when
this
is
when
the
this
is
built
out
to
the
applicants?
Do
you
know
the
answer
to
that
question?
I.
A
R
E
Okay,
mr
chair
secretary,
here
we
do
have
one
letter
of
opposition.
The
opposition
basically
doesn't
fit
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
C
A
All
right
and
there
the
bpda
commented
about
the
the
size
of
the
dormer
and
the
rear
yard
setback.
I
assume.
D
You
saw
that
miss
barasa,
I
did
and
it
it
wasn't
very
clear.
I
found
that
they
had
adequate
rear
yard
setback.
E
E
T
Chi
chong
vyong.
Can
you
hear
me
yep
loud
and
clear
hi?
So
this
is
just
to
add
a
dormer
to
the
rear
of
the
building.
A
A
Will
the
height
for
florida
ceiling
be
in
the
new
space
in.
T
The
seven
feet
two
inches
from
the
plans:
okay,.
L
Okay
and
how
much.
T
We're
just
expanding
the
existing
second
floor.
That
has
is
there
so
we're
not
really,
I
guess
not
adding
square
footage,
because
there's
already
we're
just
sort
of
renovating
this
second
floor
and
adding
some
ceiling
height.
So
that's.
Q
N
Yes,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services,
let
go
of
records
for
this
proposal.
We
have
not
heard
opposition
from
abundant
neighbors
and
they
went
to
the
brighton,
austin
improvement
association,
neighborhood
civic
and
received
their
support
as
well.
Thank
you.
A
Any
letters
mr
fortune,
I'm
here,
okay,
looks
like
that's
it.
Mr
miss
marazza.
E
One
more
dude,
I'm
going
gonna
go
back
to
the
first
case
on
l
for
the
record,
calling
doa
one
two:
two:
three:
six:
zero
zero,
fifty
elm
street
just
to
renovate
the
entire
unit
and
remove
the
existing
shed
in
addition
and
replace
with
the
new
addition
in
shed
the
violations.
Article,
62
section,
25
group
structure,
restrictions
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please
good.
U
The
proposal
before
us
today
is
we're
seeking
zoning
relief
for
restricted
roof
structure
which
has
been
triggered
because
the
existing
roof,
although
three
stories
in
the
front
of
the
building
on
elm
street
in
the
rear
portion
of
the
building,
is
only
two
stories
and
any
alteration
to
the
profile
roof
requires
conditional
use
which
we
are
seeking
today.
The
proposal,
if
granted,
will
be
a
three-story
single-family
building
attached
on
one
side,
the
existing
rear
setback
is
20
feet.
U
We
are
less
than
the
existing
building
after
completion
at
25
feet
the
floor
area
ratio
here
is
two
and
we
are
1.09.
So
again
we
are
only
seeking
relief
for
restricted
roof
structure.
The
first
floor
is
a
floor
through
living
area
with
bedrooms
on
the
second
floor
in
a
master,
bedroom
and
nursery,
which
would
be
classified
as
a
bedroom
under
building
code
is
on
the
third
floor
with
a
rear
egress.
A
Okay
seems
relatively
straightforward:
how
are
the
drawings
mr
raza.
H
Yes,
good
evening,
mr
chair
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.
There
wasn't
a
butters
meeting
held
by
our
office
on
august
10th,
where
there
was
no
opposition.
H
U
One
more
note:
the
the
addition
is
not
visible
from
a
public
way.
So,
if
approved,
we
would
ask
for
a
straight
approval.
E
Mr
chair,
just
for
the
record
we
did
deny
without
prejudice
on
the
curb
cut
the
letters
that
we
had
were
opposition
and
with
regards
to
the
curb
cut.
