James
Christopher,
686
Architects
here
on
behalf
of
the
owners,
give
us
some
changes
to
the
plans
during
the
community
process
which
I
realized
this
evening
were
not
refiled
with
ISD
for
the
re-review,
as
such
I've
requested
to
Pearl.
In
order
to
have
the
plans
re-reviewed
so
that
they're
properly
advertised
for
these
hearings.
A
Thank
you.
Are
you
seeking
the
next
available
subcommittee
date
or
or
general
board
meeting.
D
Madam
chair,
this
is
Javier.
Oh
Javier.
A
D
I
know
you're
fine,
I'm,
just
double
checking
the
next
subcommittee
would
be
July
20th.
C
B
Motion
to
defer
the
hearing
for
36
G
Street
until
July
20th.
B
F
G
Hi
folks,
this
is
Dan
Hudson
from
the
office
Neighborhood
Services
I'm,
the
mayor's
West
Rocks
really
is
and
I'm
not
seeing
the
applicant
in
here
for
26
and
Sonia
Road,
oh
I,
believe
that's
him
actually
Sean
Brady
we're
gonna
request
a
referral
for
26
Ansonia
Road
to
complete
the
public
process.
These
guys
are
going
to
meet
with
the
sorry
about
that.
These
folks
are
going
to
meet
with
the
West
Roxbury
neighborhood
Council
later
this
month,
and
then
we
will
come
back.
A
Thank
you.
So
can
we
read
the
case
into
the
record
and
can
we
just
have
the
applicant
Follow
That
by
confirming
that
he's
seeking
a
deferral.
I
J
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Mr
secretary
and
Madam
chair
and
the
board
members,
my
name
is
architect
for
the
project.
J
Great,
so
what
we're
seeing
on
the
screen
here
are
the
four
images
we
have
a
two
family
on
at
166,
Bayswater
and
the
owner
lives
on
the
second
floor,
and
the
request
is
to
expand
the
second
floor
unit
into
the
attic
to
make
it
livable
space
with
the
Metro
bedroom
the
current
plan.
So
it
was
two
bedrooms,
but
the
interior
layout
is
changing,
but
that
does
not
affect
the
outside
at
all,
and
the
plan
is
simply
to
rebuild
the
entire
roof.
It's
currently
a
hip
roof.
J
The
plan
cost
to
rebuild
the
entire
roof
as
a
Gable,
with
a
small
deck
on
the
front
side
and
a
single
bedroom
and
some
additional
living
space
in
the
bathroom
in
the
attic
space
with
a
dormer,
and
this
is
of
course,
part
of
the
second
unit.
We're
not
you'd
have
to
go
through
the
second
floor
unit
to
get
to
the
attic.
So
clearly,
this
is
part
of
the
second
core
unit.
It
just
becomes
a
two-story
unit.
You
can
see
the
form
of
the
Gable
from
every
angle
there
on
that
sheet.
J
There's
a
bit
of
an
open
opening
in
the
roof
just
to
keep
the
Gable
form
yet
have
some
open
air
and
deck
space
towards
the
front.
If
you
scroll
up
just
a
little
bit,
you
can
see
the
front
side
they're
on
the
right
side
and
the
second
and
the
fourth
one
from
the
left
showed
the
upper.
K
J
Deck
and
the
dormers
on
either
side
for
the
living
space
inside
the
Attic
part
of
the
plan
also
calls
for
two
decks,
one
at
the
first
floor
and
one
at
the
second
floor
just
to
really
Square
Off
the
corner
of
the
building,
where
you
can
see
the
Steep
staircase
coming
into
the
building,
there's
an
entrance
bump
out
and
a
new
deck
on
the
upper
left
of
the
plane.
There
shows
one
on
the
first
floor
and
one
on
the
second
floor.
J
Just
as
an
as
a
deck
on
the
front
of
the
house,
you
get
to
enjoy
the
views.
The
only
issue
there
is
that
the
top
the
further
topmost
corner
on
the
left
of
that
new
deck
infringes
on
the
setback
by
about
six
inches.
So
that's
part
of
the
relief
that
we're
seeking
and,
of
course,
the
attic
itself.
The
doors
are
required
to
get
approval
here.
We've
been
through
the
neighborhood,
Council
and
everything's
been
approved,
and
all
questions
were
answered
and
that's.
A
L
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
deferred
to
the
Judgment
this
board,
some
back
our
information,
the
community
process
I
understand
that
our
office
is
unaware
of
any
concerns
from
Butters
at
this
time
that
the
applicant
met
with
the
Orient
Heights
neighborhood
association,
which
voted
to
support
this
proposal.
With
that
we'll
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
B
You
one
question
a
month
of
the
structure
chain.
J
E
A
Thank
you
would
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
E
E
N
Yes,
good
evening,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Kevin
sweet
from
tsg
Consulting
representing
our
client
Beantown
Donuts
LLC,
with
regards
to
530
532
Commonwealth
Avenue.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah,
we're
seeking
to
remove
the
Proviso
that
was
granted
to
the
prior
petitioner
and
Grant
to
Beantown
Donuts
LLC.
This
project
is
simply
an
ownership
change,
there's
no,
no
additional
changes
beyond
the
ownership.
My
client,
the
pesky
network,
is,
is
a
franchisee
Duncan
own
it
owner
operator
of
about
40
locations
throughout
the
Commonwealth,
including
others.
In
Boston
we've,
we've
made
no
changes
to
the
operations
staff
or
building.
It's
again
simply
an
ownership
change.
L
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
This
time
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
in
this
board
some
background
background
information,
the
community
process
our
office
had
the
app
can
reach
out
to
a
Butters
with
no
changes
in
operations.
There
were
no
concerns
raised
and
that
they
also
contacted
the
Kenmore
civic
association
as
well
run
aware
of
any
concerns
at
this
time
with
that
will
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
M
O
Madam
chair
members
of
the
subcommittee
John
Moran
Alpine
advisory
Services,
representing
the
applicants
Madam
chair.
This
is
a
single
family
owner
occupied
building
the
owners
seek
to
enlarge
the
occupant.
The
structure
by
adding
dhamas,
which
is
shown
on
the
face.
The
dramas
are
an
alteration
to
the
roof,
which
requires
a
conditional
use
permit.
O
Additionally,
there
is
a
rare
addition
that
is
set
back
one
foot
from
the
adjoining
property
at
7
59.,
and
the
proposal
is
to
reconstruct
the
addition
by
adding
two
stories
and
moving
it
back
to
be
in
alignment
with
the
main
building.
The
main
building
is
set
back
two
feet.
The
code
requires
a
three
foot
setback.
This
is
an
existing
condition.
The
home
will
have
four
bedrooms
to
provide
each
bedroom
for
the
applicants.
Three
children.
There
are
no
bedrooms
in
the
basement.
A
Miss
Moran
quick
clarification,
I
I
heard
you
say
initially
that
there's
a
one
foot
between
your
your
this
property
in
759
and
your
Edition.
Your
renovation
would
alter
that
to
two
feet.
A
Okay,
so
so
it
actually
is
less
of
a
it's
further
away
from
your
neighbor
by
a
foot
correct.
A
Yes,
thank
you.
Any
questions
from
the
board.
I
P
I
I
think,
in
my
experience
it's
just
a
pretty
narrow,
Drive
aisle
for
one
vehicle,
but
I'm
also,
you
know
so
this
Edition
will
have
a
garage
in
it
has.
How
has
there
been
any
like
turning
movements
done
with.
P
O
This
is
an
existing
driveway.
That's
been
in
use
for
I,
don't
know
how
long,
but
at
least
this
Century,
if
not
significantly
earlier,
there
is
an
existing
curb
cut
in
an
existing
driveway.
M
Q
Hi,
my
name
is
Brian
O'donnell
I
am
the
nephew
of
Gene
O'donnell
who
lives
at
763,
East
Broadway
and
she
is
unable
to
attend.
We
sent
an
email
earlier
yesterday
to
be
reviewed
by
the
board
and
we
just
have
concerns
about
the
overall
size
of
the
addition
and
how
it
impacts
our
house
on
the
side
of
the
building
in
regards
to
you
know,
shade,
sunlight
and
I
think
it
comes
a
little
bit
closer
to
our
side.
On
that
driveway
side.
A
Okay-
and
you
noted
I-
think
Mr
O'donnell
noted
your
three
stories,
and
can
you
clarify
just
how
close
you
are
to
763
and
is
there
a
change
from
your
current
to
your
proposed
condition?
E
R
A
Francis,
did
you
indicate
another
raised
hand?
Yes,.
M
F
L
For
the
mayor's
office-
I'm,
sorry
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
a
lot
of
information
on
this
proposal
or
liaison
is
out
and
I
think
we're
under
the
impression
that
this
proposal
is
going
to
be
deferred.
Communication
to
Stephanie
Haynes
had
with
the
applicant
in
late
May
of
May
24th
seemed
due
to
revised
plans
and
additional
violation
was
added.
Please
request
a
deferral
to
a
later
date,
so
it
can
be
re-advertised
I,
don't
know.
If
that's
in
reference
to
this
particular
hearing
or
previous
hearing.
O
Madam
Madam
chair,
if
I,
can
address
that
the
second
submission
was
withdrawn
and
the
owners
did
not
wish
to
go
forward
their
anxious
to
have
the
construction
start
to
accommodate
the
their
family.
At
the
site
meeting
there
was
no
opposition.
The
president
of
the
City
point
or
Castle
Island
Association
spoke
in
favor.
The
most
affected
about
her
at
759
is
in
support
of
the
project
and,
unfortunately,
the
owner
next
door
has
been
ill
and
was
not
available
to
be
contacted.
My
understanding
she
was
in
the
hospital
I
I.
A
Sure,
I
guess
my
follow-up
question,
obviously
that
a
butter
is
on
the
call
and
had
some
concerns,
and
so
can
you
just
clarify
from
your
perspective
why
one
of
butter
is
more
effective
than
the
other,
since
it
sounds
like
you're
you're
inching
closer
to
one
than
the
other.
O
Well,
the
butter
most
affected
is
the
about
it.
That
has
the
two
foot
setback
and
that
is
7
59..
That's
that's
the
existing
condition
and
the
rare
Edition
is
being
moved
back,
which
the
current
edition
is.
One
foot
set
back
from
her
property
line,
it's
being
reconstructed,
to
be
two
feet
in
alignment
with
the
the
main
house.
O
L
Madam
chair
I'm,
just
getting
information
in
in
real
time
can
confirm
that
the
civic
association
for
that
area,
City
point
was
in
support.
L
The
prime,
the
only
real
concern
that
was
raised
in
the
butters
meeting
was
apparently
there's
a
home
improvement,
show
that
will
be
filmed
at
that
location,
so
residents
just
asked
to
be
kept
in
the
loop
if
that
goes
forward,
and
we
did
also
receive
a
letter
of
support
from
a
resident
in
South
Boston
as
well.
So
with
that
information
we'll
do
Florida
the
board.
Thank
you.
I
P
I
I
E
E
A
We
will
yes,
the
chair,
also
votes.
Yes,
motion
carries
thank.
B

Yep
Frank
knippenberg,
representing
the
applicants
with
Boston,
permit
advisors,
I'm
joined
by
Nick
Landry,
the
architect
on
the
project.
S
S
As
part
of
that,
we
would
be
adding
additional
egress
into
the
garden
unit
and,
adding
you
know
kitchen
and
bathroom
or
adding
a
kitchen.
I
already
has
a
bathroom
down
there.
S
It
would
be
accessible
by
that
side
alley
and
we
have
worked
with
the
director
Butters
to
come
to
agreement
on
improvements
to
the
alley
to
provide
suitable
access
to
the
unit.
B
The
base
the
bedroom
in
the
basement
will
remain
correct.
Yep.
S
A
Okay,
hearing
no
question
other
questions
from
the
board
May.
We
have
public
testimony.

At
this
time,

Judgment
of
this
board.
Our
office
conducted
into
Butters
meeting
on
March
6th.
The
applicant
answered
questions
that
are
direct.
Our
Butters
had
and
worked
in
close
communication
with
them
on
that
Alleyway
the
shared
Alleyway.
They
also
answered
questions
from
the
counselor's
office
as
well,
and
we're
in
contact
the
local
civic
association.

planning
on
doing
is
extending
a
dormer
to
the
rear
of
the
house
in
an
area
currently
occupied
by
a
flat
roof
to
make
a
new
family
room.
It's
an
owner
occupied
two
family.
T
Three
bedroom.
That's
going
to
stay
a
three
bedroom,
we're
in
violation
on
the
side
yard
for
the
setback,
which
is
an
existing
violation
in
the
current
house,
and
the
building
for
footprint
is
not
going
to
change
and
we're
also
a
little
over
on
the
floor
area
ratio
from
0.7
to
0.85,
which
is
why
we're
seeking
relief.
L
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Conor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
this
time
the
mayor's
office
deferred
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Some
background
information
in
the
community
process.
Our
office
held
in
the
butters
meeting
on
January
19th.
The
applicant
went
on
to
meet
with
the
Stony
Brook
neighborhood
association,
where
they
were
approved
and
then
on
March.
That
was
on
March
13th
excuse
me,
and
then
they
followed
up
by
meeting
with
the
jpnc
zoning
subcommittee
on
April
12th.
L
M
I
I
I
A
M
E
B
U
E
U
A
pre-existing
commercial
building
located
Jamaica
playing
the
corner
of
Rosemary
and
South
Street.
It
does
contain
a
total
of
five
commercial
spaces.
One
of
those
spaces
is
vacant.
It
was
last
used
for
a
locksmith
shot.
Our
proposal
would
be
to
change
the
occupancy
from
the
last
known
use
of
locksmith
to
a
florist
with
no
other
changes
to
the
building
itself,
because
this
is
located
at
three
F
5000
District.
The
building
is
already
a
pre-existing,
legally
pre-existing.
Non-Conforming
use.
U
Any
change
to
the
uses
in
this
building
are
conditional
and
therefore
require
conditional
use
permit
from
the
board.
So
a
very,
relatively
straightforward,
substituted
non-conforming
use
we're
taking
a
locksmith
use
away
and
adding
the
floor
shop,
which
was
pretty
well
received
by
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
U
The
only
outstanding
issue
which
typically
comes
up
in
these
situations
is
signage,
and
certainly
any
signage
that
would
be
added
to
the
building
would
be
required
to
comply
with
the
bpda
expeditary
review
for
science,
so
not
necessarily
a
designer
review,
but
any
signage
that
would
require
a
separate
short
form
permit.
That
gets
approved
through
BPD
review
and
located
in
the
signed
into
the
building.
Happy
to
answer
any
questions.
E
L
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
Our
office
facilitated
at
Butters
meeting
on
April
27th
and
the
applicant
then
went
on
to
meet
with
the
jpnc
and
acquired
their
support
on
May
31st.
Throughout
the
process,
there
was
overwhelming
community
support
for
this
business
concept.
With
that
we'll
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
B
Make
a
motion
for
approval
with
the
review
of
outside
changes?
Food,
including
signage.
A
E
B
A
Okay,
why
don't
we
keep
going
and
if
they
come
in
later,
we'll
we'll
we'll
hear
them.
V
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Dan
Hudson,
the
West
Rocks
for
liaison
from
the
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
We
had
our
Butters
meeting
April
6th.
There
were
some
concerns
about
height,
but
we
were
able
to
determine
that
this
wouldn't
increase
the
height
and
it
wouldn't
affect
Shadows
more
than
the
current
structure,
the
home
already
does.
That
said,
this
was
passed
unanimously
by
the
West
Roxbury
neighborhood
Council.
They
have
completed
public
process,
but
we
will
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
G
M
M
A
With
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
E
V
W
And
we
just
try
to
extend
the
living
space
from
the
second
floor
to
the
attic.
The
addict
is
already,
everything
is
the
dorms.
Everything
is
all
set,
it's
just
closing
it
up
and
bathroom
and
a
kitchenette.
That's
all.
D
I
can't
see
any
of
those
approved
stamped
by
ISD.
Can
can
you
keep
scrolling
I
just
just
can't
see
it
I
believe
it's.
H
I
I
haven't
I
would
agree
with
the
bpda's
recommendation
to
defer
I
had
a
hard
time
reviewing
and
kind
of
orienting
myself
with
the
proposed
project.
You
know
they
were
quite
labeled
of
you
know:
right
left,
elevations
things
like
that
and
I
think.
The
bpda
also
noted
documentation
of
existing
and
proposed
conditions
insufficient
at
the
time
of
review
and
I
would
agree
with
that.
I
think
we
need
a
little
more
information
here.
I
I
think
just
the
quality
of
the
plans,
it's
a
little
hard
to
tell
what's
going
on.
Typically,
we
see
the
whole
scope
of
the
structure
and
you
know
not
just
a
section
of
it.
We
usually
see
existing
and
proposed
and
I
they're,
usually
labeled.
I
W
This
point,
because
it
was
nothing
structural,
it's
everything
is,
is
really
right.
There
is
this
thing
is
making
throw
right
there,
the
size,
whatever.
D
I
W
No,
no
they're
existing
I
got
a
four
dorms
already
in
the
house
for
since
they
built
a
house,
everything
is
ready.
Well,
yes,
I
just
make
that
right
there.
So
they
could.
They
can
see
the
dawn
the
the
way
they
look,
but
we
don't
do
any
nothing
in
structural,
it's
just
insulation
and
drywall
and
electrical
and
deployment.
That's
it.
That's
nothing
have
to
build
it
up.
Everything.
A
Is
okay?
What
would
be
useful?
Would
it
be
useful
for
them
to
take
a
picture
of
their
because
I
think
the
the
challenges
the
drawings
are
kind
of
I
mean
as
bpda
is
also
indicating
they're
they
they
would
like
to
see
more
adequate
plans
as
well
I
mean.
Would
it
be
helpful
to
show
images
of
the
current
situation
so
that
we
can
see
that
nothing
is
changing
other
than
the
interior
or
what
would
be
useful.
I
Yeah
I
think
existing
and
proposed
plans
just
to
show
what's
changing
things
like
that,
so
you
know
I,
just
yeah,
yeah
I,
think
just
the
level
of
detail
and
information
is
not
within
the
plans.
You
know
we
need
to
see
existing
propose
label.
It
I'm,
not
sure
whether
you
know
plans
without
an
architect
stamp
are
allowed
and
are
just
in
my
day
job.
We
look
for
that.
I,
don't
know.
If
the
same
translates
here.
I
don't
want
to
give
you
the
wrong
information.
A
D
I
can't
specify
their
policies
if
they've
done
it
before,
but
it
wow.
We
can
deferred
to
get
updated
plans
and
then
we
can
connect
them
to
bpdn.
A
Well,
I
think
that's
the
direction
we're
going
in,
but
I
don't
want
I,
don't
want
to
defer
and
not
provide
useful
information
to
Mr
Rodriguez
so
that
he
can
provide
what
we
are
considering
adequate
plans.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there
is
a
either
an
ISD
or
BPD
colleague.
Who
can
you
know,
walk
them
through
that.
A
A
A
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Stembridge,
yes
Ms.
We
will
yes
chair.
Also
votes,
yes,
motion
carries
Javier.
Could
you
give
them
a
new
date.
F
H
I
I
It's
on
our
appeal
list,
so
I
would
just
hopefully
connect
with
someone
at
the
bpda.
A
I'm
gonna
pause
because
we've
already
voted
so
I'm
going
to
ask
Javier
if
you
offline
can
connect
with
bpda
and
then
connect
someone
to
Mr
Rodriguez
and
when
so
we
can
move
on.
Yes,
yes,
that
sounds
fine.
Thank
you.
So
Javier
will
connect
with
you,
Mr
Rodriguez
after
this
Mr
Stembridge
next
case.
B
X
Mr
secretary
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spence,
with
Adams
and
moranti
business
address
of
168
8th
Street
first
floor
South
Boston
joining
me
today
is
Sean
McMahon,
who
is
the
owner?
What
is
in
front
of
us?
We
have
a
proposal
for
a
third
floor,
Edition,
basically
squaring
up
the
entire
third
floor.
X
The
height
is
going
to
remain
existing
at
35
feet,
but
we're
increasing
the
stories
from
Two
and
a
Half
stories
to
to
three
stories
and
that's
what
the
violation
is
for
here
today,
the
additional
ad
in
approximately
210
square
feet
at
that
point,
I'm
going
to
pause
for
any
questions
from
the
board.
I
E
X
So
I
think
Mrs.
We
well
as
you
can
see
that
if
you,
if
you
on
this
drawing
here,
if
you
kind
of
just
scroll
down
where
the
with
it
where
the
discrepancy
was,
is
that,
on
the
left
hand
side
it
says
rear
elevation,
that's
actually
the
side
elevation,
so
those
should
have
been
just
flip-flopped
there.
So
the
rear
elevation
is
is
what
is
on
the
back
on
the
right
hand,
side
bottom
right.
So
just
the
I
think
it
was
an
administrative
error.
X
There
was
a
change
in
Mr
Chu's
office
that
the
architect
that
was
working
on
these
plans
had
suddenly
departed
choose
office,
but
that
was
something
we
did
pick
up
during
the
process
and
I
did
make
that
clear
as
we
were
going
through
as
well.
No.
G
Sorry,
oops
sorry
Dan
Hudson
from
mayor's
office,
Neighborhood
Services,
April
18th.
We
had
our
voters
meeting
here.
There
were
no
objections.
This
past
the
West
Rockford
neighborhood
Council
later
that
month
unanimously
at
this
time
we're
going
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
M
There's
a
raised
hand:
I
believe
it's
for
the
previous
case,
but
potential
can
I
double
check,
just
to
be
sure
sure.
Thank
you,
hi
Richard
you've
been
unmuted.
Are
you
here
for.
M
A
With
that
may
I
have
a
motion
make
a
motion
to
approve.
May
I
have
a
second
second
Mr
