From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearings 8-29-23 (Part 2 of 3)
Description
Zoning regulates the use and dimensional boundaries of privately owned buildings and land. The Zoning code is in place to protect the neighborhoods from the construction of buildings or structures that do not fit into the context of a neighborhood. The Zoning Board of Appeal hears appeals for varying the application of the Zoning Code and determines when it is appropriate to grant deviations from code restrictions.

Just
she's
here:
okay,
sorry,
just
doing
real
call,
sorry
about
that
you're
good,
all
right!
So,
just
again
as
a
as
a
reminder,
we
are
currently
a
seven-member
board
at
2
pm
will
become
a
five-member
board
as
two
board
members
need
to
depart
so
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Mr
Stembridge.
E
E
F
You
Ms
Stembridge.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago,
with
Drago
and
Toscano
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street
here
on
behalf
of
the
client
Stan
klebner
with
Odessa
capital,
and
we
also
have
the
architect
with
us
today.
Adam
Glassman,
the
projects
that
you're
looking
at
today
is
56
Murdoch
and
58
Murdoch.
What
we're
proposing
is
to
raise
an
existing
three-unit
structure.
You
can
meet
Adam's
Ambassador
if
you
could
say
right
on
this
slide,
that's
perfect!
Thank
you.
F
We're
closing
to
raise
the
existing
structure
on
a
17
020
square
foot
lot.
This
is
the
largest
lot
in
that
immediate
area.
F
We're
proposing
to
develop
two
separate
condominium
buildings,
each
that
would
house
and
we're
looking
at
that
in
this
rendering
three
condominiums
in
each
building,
and
this
would
have
eight
Associated
parking
spaces
in
the
back
four
to
go
with
56
and
four
to
go
with
58
respectively.
There
is
a
shared
driveway
down
the
middle
of
the
project,
a
great
amount
of
green
space
with
a
rare
yard
setback.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
just
to
give
the
board
another
view.
F
You
can
see
that
as
we
worked
with
the
community
for
the
better
part
of
a
year
and
a
half,
we
redesigned
this
project
to
blend
within
the
character
and
nature
of
the
buildings
in
this
immediate
area.
Although
this
is
a
2f
5000
square
foot
District,
we
are
17
000
square
foot
lot.
As
I
had
mentioned,
there
is
a
Condo
building.
Next
to
us
all
right.
F
There
is
a
three
unit
building
at
the
left
and
then,
as
you
go
down,
it's
a
mix,
there's
a
number
of
twos,
but
those
are
all
on
smaller
lots
and
we
started
just
to
give
you
some
background.
We
started
this
proposal.
We
were
at.
We
were
proposing
just
because
of
the
lot
size
of
13
unit,
condominium,
building
and
working
with
the
Paia
to
get
their
support,
as
well
as
many
of
the
direct
neighbors.
F
We
scale
that
down
to
a
10
unit,
building
nine
and
then
eight
and
then
ultimately,
where
we
were
at
today
with
six
units
on
the
site.
By
doing
so,
we
actually
eliminated
the
far
violation,
a
height
violation
and
we
increased
our
Green
Space
and
our
rare
yard
setback.
The
layout
of
these
buildings,
if
you
go
start
going
through
the
plans
of
Madame
Ambassador
they're
they're
identical
though
it's
that's
actually,
if
we
go
back
to
that,
one
slide,
I'm
sorry.
F
This
is
just
an
aerial
view,
so
you
can
see
the
size
of
the
lot
in
question
that
we're
proposing
to
build
on
and
just
sort
of
the
composition
of
the
neighborhood.
Sorry
about
that,
if
you
go
to
the
next
Slide,
the
buildings
will
be
identical.
It
would
have
common
just
storage
space
in
the
basement.
They
would
again
on
the
first
floor
that
would
house
unit
one
on
each
building.
That
would
be
two
bedroom
with
a
deck
at
1367
square
feet
67
square
feet.
These
would
be
fair.
F
Only
sized
units,
the
second
floor
of
each
building
would
house
unit
two
and
that
would
be
two
bedroom
with
a
deck
1527
square
feet
and
then,
finally,
the
third
unit,
which
is
a
three
bedroom
building
at
1484
square
feet
the
violations
that
were
mentioned.
We
are
proposing
three
unit
buildings
and
this
is
a
2f
district,
so
use
a
lot
size.
We
are
now
17,
020.
F
Thirty
thousand
would
be
required
for
the
two,
so
it
would
be
slightly
under
lot.
Fundage
or
close,
or
at
a
hundred
feet
would
be
what
the
code
requires
were
at
93.5
and
then
on
our
side,
setbacks.
We
do
have
the
garage,
the
driveway
in
the
middle,
but
we
still
have
seven
foot
eleven
on
our
left
side
and
our
right
setback
is
seven
foot,
seven
ten
would
be
required
and
then
for
parking,
we're
close
we're
at
four.
G

The
access
aisle
with
for
stalls
one
and
eight,
it's
specifically
seen
with
accessible
cells,

C
J
Thank
you
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Frank
Mendoza
here
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
of
Services
Austin
Brighton
liaison
here
to
testify
that
the
applicant
did
have
two
letters
meetings
through
our
office
and
also
met
with
the
local
civic
association.
J
Some
of
the
voters
who
are
present
at
the
butters
meetings
had
concerns
regarding
the
number
of
mature
trees,
the
status
of
parking,
the
efforts
that
would
be
taken
towards
management
of
trash,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
rodent
mitigation,
as
well
as
the
overall
size
and
density
of
the
project,
as
some
felt
that
it
was
too
large
in
relation
to
the
character
of
the
existing
neighborhood,
the
Brighton
Olsen
Improvement
Association,
rezoning,
chair,
Hannah
bellicon,
could
be
on
his
testify
after
myself
did
vote
in
support
of
the
project
for
you
with
that
said,
we
will
be
deferring
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
at
this
time.
K
L
Yes,
my
name
is
Christopher
Roth
I'm
at
59
Murdoch
street
directly
across
from
this
property
and
I
I
have
been
attending
all
the
the
the
very
various
meetings
that
have
been
have
occurred
and
I
would
like
to
thank
the
that's
the
capital
or
at
least
trying
to
to
accommodate
our
our
comments,
reducing
the
the
the
overall
number
of
units.
L
However,
even
at
the
most
recent
meeting,
the
there
were
a
number
of
Butters
who
had
the
same
concern
about
the
the
higher
density
of
units
in
this
there's
these
pair
of
buildings,
where
it
is
much
higher
than
any
of
the
surrounding
areas
and
with
that
is
the
the
the
relatively
few
number
of
parking
spots
that
are
equated
with
us.
L
They
are
or
the
the
total
number
of
bedrooms
in
here
is
totally
inadequate,
and
so
that
would
force
many
cars
to
be
parked
on
the
off
street
parking,
which
is
already
after
Beyond.
This
is
ecosity
because
Murdoch
is
a
one-way
street
that
was
parking
on
only
one
one
side
of
this.
L
Yeah,
okay,
I'll
just
stick
with
the
thing,
the
main
things:
the
shortened
side
yard
between
the
58
monoxide
and
the
adjoining
62
Murdoch.
There
is
like
a
four
foot
elevation
difference
and
the
the
plans
do
not
account
for
that
large
of
a
a
a
drop
as
well
as
exactly
where
the
property
line
is.
L
It
is
it's
not
unclear
if
a
property
line
might
be
in
the
center
of
that
driveway,
which
would
put
the
the
the
edge
of
the
building
at
the
edge
of
the
that
that
steep
drop
off.
M
Pair
this
to
the
ridiculous
13
unit,
Beast
that
they
wanted
to
put
on
the
site
at
first.
This
is
still
too
dense
on
the
site.
There's
too
many
units,
it's
too
close
to
the
neighbors
with
too
many
variances
the
side
porches
face
the
neighbors
and
you're.
Already
it's
already
too
close
to
the
to
the
property
line.
It's
just
too
too
encroaching.
The
driveway
is
too
tight
to
turn
around
it's
very
difficult
when
somebody's
coming
out
of
the
driveway
and
somebody's
going
in
you're
backing
out
onto
a
one-way
street.
M
It's
hard
to
see
this,
the
corner
of
Murdoch
and
sparhawk,
just
the
first
intersection
at
the
top
of
the
road
is
a
nightmare.
There
was
an
accident
yesterday
where
three
cars
were
involved
in
an
accident
and
the
traffic
increases
and
it
has
to
be
reduced
to
I,
recommend
one
building
with
three
units.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
P
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
Adam
olsoni,
I
I'm,
actually
an
extra
neighbor,
so
our
property
will
be
impacted.
The
variants
that
the
developers
violating
it's
too
close
to
our
building
and
my
main
concerns
that
what's
been
raised,
the
the
I
think
strangers
said
that
the
you
need
30,
000
30
000
square
feet.
For
for
this
many
people
density.
That's
you
know.
P
The
lot
is
17
000.,
please
correctly
if
I'm
wrong,
and
that
seems
to
be,
you
need
twice
as
much
land
to
put
oh
okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Kevin.
Q
Q
You
hear
me
now:
yes,
sir,
hey
guys
so
my
name
is
Kevin.
Murray
I
live
up
at
129
Murdoch
Street
I
drive
by
the
property
every
day,
I've
looked
at
the
plans.
I
think
that
the
the
current
property
is
an
eyesore
and
I
think
the
Austin
Brighton
Community
could
benefit
from
additional
housing
stock
and
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
to
say
that
I
support
this
project.
Q
C
F
You
Madam
chair,
so
there
were
a
couple
of
points
about
this.
Being
you
know
a
a
lot
that
only
house
or
an
area
that
only
has
two
families,
someone
mentioned
59
Murdock:
that
building
itself
is
a
three
unit
building
on
a
6
900
square
foot
lot
the
building
that
is
on
half
this
property
now
existing
is
a
three
unit,
there's
a
Condo
building
to
the
right,
so
we're
not
changing
the
composition.
We
actually
tried
to
meet
most
of
the
area
in
terms
of
size
density
based
on
our
lot
size.
F
But
beyond
that
we
also
heard
about
a
rare
setback,
our
neighbor
in
the
back.
That's
why
we
modify
this
project.
We
actually
have
a
97
foot
setback
to
the
rear
of
the
property,
all
of
brain
space.
Our
parking
is
over.
What
would
be
you
know
a
one
for
one,
so
we
actually
added
a
visitor
spot
to
each
size.
Anything
beyond
that
you
stop.
We
would
stop
cutting
into
additional
rain
space.
We
felt
one
additional
spot
per
building
would
be
sufficient
also
in
terms
of
they
said
the
massing
or
actually
below
the
hype
requirement.
F
So
we
are
at
35
feet.
We're
actually
at
34.5,
so
that's
where
we're
below
what
would
even
be
required
and
our
side
setback
is
as
laid
out
and
the
reason
why
we
split
the
building
into
two
separate
buildings
was
based
on
our
butter
feedback
in
the
civic
association.
So
we
put
that
drive
away.
It's
got
a
10
foot
access
point
which
is
the
minimum
we
would
need.
F
So
we
didn't
extend
it
anymore
and
we
still
have
almost
eight
feet
on
either
side
compared
to
the
other
buildings
and
we're
below
the
far
requirement
for
this
neighborhood
as
well.
We're
at
0.58
and
not
0.6
would
be
required.
It
would
be
a
lot
more
to
go.
Some.
We
really
tried
all
the
accommodations
that
we
heard
any.
S
I
got
six
nine
on
the
right:
the
Kano,
Libras
yeah,
okay,.
U
This
is
brand
new
construction.
It's
ground
up
in
the
accessibility
code
would
be
triggered
here
both
for
accessible
units
and
for
accessible
parking.
Okay,.
C
V
C
I
E
W
So
my
name
is
Kyle
Smith
of
statero
law,
business
address
of
359
Newbury
Street
in
Boston's,
Back
Bay
I
also
have
the
owner
of
the
call
on
this
or
sorry
the
owner
of
the
property
on
this
call
as
well,
and
then
our
most
impacted
about
our
96
Perham
is
also
on
the
call
with
this
as
well.
W
We
have
a
pre-existing
structure
located
on
a
parcel
with
approximately
6
400
square
feet
of
lot
size.
The
rear
extension
that
you
see
is
currently
the
top
floor
doesn't
have
a
good
head
height.
The
intent
is
to
effectively
raise
the
head
height
of
the
rear
portion
of
this
building
to
bring
it
in
line
with
the
existing
roof
pitch,
thereby
rendering
that
top
floor
usable.
W
The
current
occupants
are
the
husband
and
wife
Mr
bergman's
on
this
call
the
intent
of
this
and
used
spaces
for
the
Mother-in-law
for
her
to
be
able
to
age
in
place
with
the
with
her
effectively
daughter
and
a
son-in-law.
So
we
have
effectively
one
violation,
which
is
the
extension
or
exacerbation
of
a
non-conformity,
which
is
the
side
yard
setback.
Current
setback
distance
is
8.2
feet.
W
C
X
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office,
which
defer
to
the
Judgment
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process,
ons
held
in
a
Butters
me
and
as
I
understand,
it
was
a
very
positive
meeting.
The
applicant
then
went
on
to
meet
with
the
West
Roxbury
neighborhood
Council,
which
voted
to
support
this
proposal,
but
that
will
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Y

AA
C
AC
AD
We
go.
Can
you
hear
us?
Yes,
okay,
put
your
camera
on
it.
Won't.
Let
me
put
the
camera
on
so
I
can
just
go
ahead
and
talk
so
I'm
sharing
another
stole.
My
husband,
Jerry
Howland
is
here
with
us.
We
live
at
9,
Ashfield
street.
We
have
lived
there
for
40
years.
AD
We
are
proposing
to
renovate
our
kitchen,
which,
as
I
said
been
in
existence
for
the
40
years,
has
not
been
changed
in
that
time
period
and
also
add
a
half
bathroom
on
the
first
floor,
as
there
is
no
bathroom
on
the
first
score
at
this
point,
the
house
is
existing
non-conforming.
It
was
built
in
1890,
so
it
already
surpasses
the
rear
setback
for
housing.
AD
AD
You
see
the
side
views
on
either
side
on
the
right
and
the
left,
the
architect.
These
are
the
architect
plans
that
we've
developed
and,
at
this
point
we've
had
our
neighborhood
meetings.
We've
had
conversations
with
all
of
our
brothers
who
are
in
support
of
the
project,
so
this
is
really
to
renovate
our
40
year
old,
more
than
40
year
old
kitchen
and
add
a
powder
room
on
the
first
floor.

principal
Dimitri
petio
is
here
today,
as
is
the
project
architect
Cheryl
tagayas.
This
is
an
application
to
construct
a
new
five-story
building
at
1525
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
AF
The
building
would
contain
approximately
21
920
gross
square
feet,
including
16
homeownership
units
and
ground
floor
bi-level
commercial
space
with
nine
blonde
level,
parking
spaces,
16
resident
bicycle
parking
spaces
indoors
and
for
visitor
parking
spaces
Outdoors.
This
is
a
bbda
approved
article
lady
small
project,
as
Mr
Stembridge
noted,
Mr
Patron
owned
and
operates
the
current
businesses
at
the
site,
the
multicast
cultural
counseling
center
Inc,
behavioral
health
care
service
provider
and
Uma
Health
Inc,
and
will
continue
to
provide
these
services
in
the
new
building
during
construction.
AF
My
client
will
continue
we'll
move
administrative
services
to
another
location
and
will
return
to
this
fight.
After
the
construction
phase,
you
anchor
the
commercial
space
in
the
building,
but
both
organizations
will
continue
to
provide
services,
Services
utilizing
Telehealth
as
the
primary
modality
to
continue
to
provide
patient
care
during
construction.
AF
The
building's
ground
floor
will
consist
of
the
commercial
space
which
also
extends
into
the
basement
and
total
2
355
square
feet.
The
building's
main
residential
entry
and
Lobby
a
secure
bicycle
storage,
room
and
nine
motor
vehicle
parking
spaces
lowers
two
through
five
will
be
occupied
by
the
16
residential
condominium
units,
with
eight
one
bedroom
units
or
two
bedroom
units
and
or
three
bedroom
units.
The
IDP
units
will
be
two
one
bedroom
units
offered
at
eighty
percent
Ami
and
one
two
bedroom
unit
offered
at
100,
Ami
and
outlined
in
the
bbda
board
memo.
AF
Project
site
consists
of
two
Parcels
being
Consolidated.
One
parcel
is
located
within
a
community
commercial
zoning
sub-district
and
the
other
within
a
two
of
six
thousand
sub
District.
The
cited
violations,
therefore
include
some
duplicative
violations
owing
to
the
two
applicable
billing
sub-districts.
More
important
with
respect
to
the
zoning
I
believe
is
that
the
project
site
is
located
within
the
boundaries
of
plan
matapan.
The
bpda
community
planning
initiative,
commencement
2018,
which
was
approved
by
the
bpda
on
May
11th
of
this
year.
AF
Under
the
adopted
plan,
this
site
is
an
area
program
to
have
taller
and
denser
buildings
with
active
ground
floor
in
exchange
for
Community
benefits
such
as
improved
Green,
Space,
streetscape
and
affordable,
accessible
housing.
In
this
context,
the
request
of
the
only
relief
is
reasonable
and
reasonably
necessary
in
order
to
comply
with
the
goals
and
guidelines,
and
this
project
will
preserve
significant
site
open
space,
including
a
mature
tree
parking
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
AF
It
beats
and
exceeds
City
housing
affordability
requirements
and
will
promote
an
active
ground
floor
use
which
provides
and
will
continue
to
provide,
needed
and
appreciated
mental
health
care
services
to
the
community.
Numerous
other
project
benefits
are
detailed
in
the
bbda
board
memorandum,
which
has
been
made
available
to
the
board.
With
that
I'll
pause,
it
will
take
any
questions
or
comments
that
any
members
of
the
board
may
have.
C
Thank
you.
Any
questions
from
the
board
can
we
hear
from
is
the
BPA
bpda
project
manager
on.
C
What
are
you
looking
to
give
a
test
also
weigh
in
on
this.
AG
Yes,
I'm
looking
to
give
testimony
here.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
and
thank
you
Jessica.
The
BPA
held
two
public
meetings
for
this
project
in
April
in
May
of
2022.
These
were
both
well
attended
and
advertised
in
the
local
newspaper.
The
proponent
also
worked
with
the
community
members
to
address
concerns
regarding
affordability,
unit
size,
as
well
as
the
proponent
has
been
a
local
tenant
of
the
neighborhood
for
for
several
years,
with
their
psychiatric
business.
AG
On
the
ground
floor
that
they
are
proposing
to
to
keep
so
that
I'll
turn
it
back
over.
P
AH
AI
Good
morning
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
guys
for
hearing
this
proposal.
The
applicant
for
1525
Blue,
Hill
Ave,
did
complete
the
process
with
the
Boston
Planning
Development
agency.
As
of
right
now,
the
only
things
that
we
heard
back
from
the
community
from
the
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
councils
that
they
would
like
it
to
be
marketed
first
to
three
affordable
units.
They
would
like
it
to
be
marketed
first
to
Mattapan
residence
using
using
a
marketing
tactic
that
will
actually
reach
Mattapan
residents.
AI
I
think
they're,
afraid
that
it
may
be
poorly
marketed
to
the
residents
and
they
would
like
them
to
have
primary
consideration
or
the
affordable
units
in
terms
of
trash
and
trash
removal.
They
would
like
to
have
no
barrels
being
placed
on
the
public
sidewalk
for
that
building
and
not
in
the
street
and
the
same
thing
for
the
matapan
square,
Main
Street.
So
they
agree
to
everything
the
Great
American,
neighborhood
Council
has
stated,
and
they
also
would
like
to
see
them
work
with
the
main
streets.
AI
If
they
decide
to
do
anything
in
that
building,
that's
commercial
besides
a
medical
practice
and
then
in
terms
of
the
medical
practice,
they
would
also
like
to
see
them
working
with
the
matapan
community
health
center,
as
the
health
center
has
a
voice
that
they
would
like
to
add
some
Specialties
and
expand
its
practices
so
that
there's
a
wide
range
of
services
available
to
the
residents
in
Mattapan
with
that
I.
Thank
you
guys
again,
and
we
are
just
a
friend
of
our
judgments
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
AI
A
N
Thank
you.
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
of
minor
Perez
representing
the
men
and
woman
from
the
Carpenters
Union,
would
like
to
go
and
revenue
support
of
this
project.
C
AF
C
U
I
E
Going
forward
we'd
like
to
ask
if
there
are
any
withdrawals
or
deferrals,
can
we
have
11
30
hearings.
S
Yes,
sorry,
this
is
Richard
Lanes
169,
five
minutes.
S
Ahead
sure,
sorry
about
that
169,
Maverick,
Street
I
believe
is
on
for
building
mode.
A
S
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
boy
Richard
lens
245,
Sumner
Street
in
East
Boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
Madam
chair.
This
is
for
building
code
release
only
I
believe
we
may
have
resolved
the
issues.
I
just
wanted
to
check
with
my
clients
and
confirm
that
there
are
no
outstanding
building
code
issues
that
need
to
be
addressed
with
respect
to
the
project.
So
what
I
want
to
ask
for
is
just
a
deferral
on
the
matter
and
we
may
end
up
just
withdrawing
the
case
all
together,
but
once
I've
confirmed
it.
S
That's
all
set
we'll
we'll
know
which
direction
to
go
on
this
understood.
B
AJ
C
E
I
S
You
I
also
have
two
17
and
219
late
in
the
street,
which
is
on
my
11
30
docket.
A
C
It's
right
below
169
Maverick.
It's
just
numbers.
S
Thank
you
again.
Madam
chair
is
the
board
Richard
lens
245-72
East
Boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
and
I'm
chair
we've
based
upon
the
bpda's
recommendation
on
this,
we've
gone
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
have
adjusted
this
project.
The
two
cases
involving
the
subdivision
and
the
construction
of
a
new
dwelling
are
being
withdrawn.
The
only
case
that
will
remain
will
be
the
one
converting
the
existing
building
to
affording
a
dwelling
and
I
believe
just
to
clean
up.
The
docket
would
probably
make
sense
to
withdraw
the
two
cases.
S
I
believe
it's
the
first
and
the
third
of
the
docket
for
the
217
219
cases.
But
let
me
just
as
long
as
the
description
States
for
subdivision.
I
S
So
the
one
that
changes,
the
occupative
four
unit
is
the
one
that
will
remain
the
other
two
Madam
chair
will
withdraw
and
then
just
take
a
deferral
on
the
other
one.
The
reason
for
the
deferral
that
I'm
sure
is
that
we
understand
a
new
violation
was
cited
by
ISD
and
therefore
public
notice
needs
to
be
corrected
in
order
for
that
case,
to
proceed
before.
C
Okay,
so
why
don't
we
reread
the
one
for
deferral
and
then
we
can
re-read
the
other
two
to
make
sure
we're
not
clumping
them
all
together.
Does
that
sound
fine,
that's
correct!
Yep!
Thank
you!
Okay!
Mr
Stembridge!
Do
you
want
to
reread
the
middle
one.
E
S
I
think
Mr
Salas
would
know
based
upon
the
requirement
for
public
notice.
Yes,.
C
G
I
I
C
E
C
AK
I
I
AL
Mr,
chair
I
have
an
11
30
rediscussion.
If
I
may
it's
for
122,
Washington,
Street,
okay,.
AL
Yes,
I
am
Madam
chair,
yes,.
AL
Yeah,
thank
you
Mr
Stembridge,
for
the
record.
This
is
Mike
Ross
from
the
law
firm
of
principal
one
international
Place.
We
are
seeking
to
defer
this
because
there
was,
and
is
a
companion
case
to
this
case.
That's
referenced
there
with
regard
to
the
other
Lots
that
adjoined
it
at
443,
Harrison
Avenue,
for
whatever
reason
those
companion
pieces
were
not
advertised
with
this
with
this
case,
and
so
istcba
is
aware
of
this
and
would
have
to
re-advertise
both
the
companion
case,
as
well
as
the
underlying
122
Washington
Street
case.
I
I
AJ
A
deferral
on
this
matter
and
the
reason
being
the
it
was
an
additional
violation
that
needs
to
be
advertised
through
the
zba
office,
and
so
we
are
requesting
a
deferral
so
that
that
can
be
properly
advertised.
If
we
can
return
before
the
board.
B
Salads
October
31st,
we
listen
to
Madam,
chair
okay,.
C
C
T
Like
you
can
hear
me
correct,
yes,
we're
waiting
on
you,
sorry,
okay,
okay,
so
back
in
2016
my
wife
approaches
the
condo
is
59
Hancock
unit
for
with
the
seller.
Having
you
know
in
the
roof
deck
rights,
I.
Believe
page
four
that'll
indicate
that
it's
highlight
the
seller.
At
the
time
had
a
permit
out.
She
was
gonna,
you
know,
construct
the
deck
and
there
was
an
open
apartment,
so
more
or
less
out
of
ignorance,
which
we
know
is
not
an
excuse.
T
My
wife
proceeded
to
you
know,
build
a
deck.
You
know
it
was
a
big
part
of
reason
why
she
wanted
to
purchase
the
unit
itself.
It's
one
of
only
two
units
that
have
DD
roof
deck
rights.
So
we
wound
up
constructing
as
you'll
see
it's
a
standing
kind
of
a
floating
roof
deck.
It
doesn't
fasten
into
the
roof
deck
below
and
we
constructed
the
deck
to
spec
and
Code,
Compliance
and
whatnot.
In
what
we
found
out
again.
T
The
hard
way
is
that
the
whole
permit
issuance
and
everything
has
to
be
started
over
from
scratch.
You
can't
just
resume
a
permit
that
has
been
pulled
to
construct
anything
regardless.
If
things
have
been
needed
or
not
so
it's
with,
that
regret,
we
try
to
rectify
things
and
that's
why
it's
a
summary
is
as
built
seeking
approval
retroactively
in
that
manner.
We
wound
up,
obviously,
as
you
see
through
an
architect
survey,
to
have
the
plans
and
stamped
and
everything
is
dispatch.
T
It's
obviously
not
finally
approved
because
we
need
this
permit
to
be
activated
or
whatnot
for
the
inspector
can
come
out
so
we've
tried.
Obviously
this
is
a
mistake
that
we
made
initially-
and
it
was
on
this-
the
hard
way
we've
made
multiple
trips
to
ISD,
and
this
was
back
in
2016
as
well
to
to
try
to
rectify
things
Unfortunately
they
had
the
incorrect
person,
the
person
that
is
the
head
of
our
condo
trustee.
She
was
getting
mailed
violations
and
things
and
we
were
not.
T
We
were
totally
unaware
of
until
recently
when
we
were,
we
went
to
the
housing
board
and
the
gentleman
from
ISD
Council
helped
us
kind
of
set
things
up
and
get
everything
in
our
right
name
and
proper,
because
we
really
want
to
have
this
legalized.
As
is
it's
a
it's
an
important
outdoor
space,
it's
an
asset
from
an
equity
standpoint
to
be
able
to
utilize
this
space,
and
so
we
did
the
community
process.
Molly.
T
Okay,
I
wasn't
sure
if
they
were
present,
so
we
really
have
done
all
the
like
work.
Architect,
unfortunately,
he's
on
vacation
this
week
he's
not
able
to
to
speak,
but
obviously
ASB
is
his
Design,
Group
and
I.
Don't
know.
If
you
got
a
letter
from
the
vegan
Health
civic
association
we
had
in
the
butter
at
Hancock.
You
can
see
their
little
half
window,
transom
window,
that's
right
there.
They
they
had
approval,
and
then
there
was
another
butter
on
Myrtle
Street
that
had
disapproval.
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys.
AM
Hello
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Maggie
van
scoy
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board,
as
mentioned
Nevada's
meeting
was
run
by
my
predecessor,
Molly
Griffin
I
believe
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
no
concerns
were
raised
by
a
voters
at
that
meeting.
AK
AK
AM
Set
of
butter
whose
window
opens
onto
the
roof
deck,
and
he
also
cited
concerns
over
noise
and
air
quality
with
that
we'd
like
to
defer
the
Judgment
report.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
AN
C
AO
O
C
Just
respond
to
the
question
about
whether
the
there's
an
abunding
window
facing
this
roof
deck.
T
C
T
There's
a
building
yeah
like
I,
said:
there's
a
building
across
they
can
view
the
roof
deck.
Is
we
can
view
other
people
for
effects
and
they're
directly
above
us
and
everything
it's
kind
of
interesting
it's
on
top
of
the
basement.
It's
not
I
mean
so
it
is
technically
a
roof
deck,
but
again
it's
not
on
the
roof
of
our
building.
A
I
I
G
C
F
U
I
I
T
E
Y
This
is
a
proposal
to
change
occupancy
of
an
existing
two
family
with
accessory
office
that
has
been
discontinued
a
long
time
ago
on
the
ground
floor
in
the
front
to
a
two
family:
got
renovation
of
the
existing
building
installed
groundwater
recharge
system
in
the
rear
yard,
and
then
a
small
bump
out
addition
at
the
rear
garden
and
street
level
measuring
four
feet
out
from
the
rear
facade
by
13.
Y
and
rear
balconies
at
the
second
and
third
level,
and
a
roof
deck
with
hatch,
access
and
scroll
ahead
to
the
floor
plans
and
elevations.
So
the
resulting
product
is
yeah.
The
next
one
is
a
good
side.
Elevation
next
slide,
please
great!
So
you
can
see
that
the
lowest
level
at
rear
is
a
walkout
condition
and
the
bump
out
will
be
those
lower
two
floors
upon
which
sits
the
rear
balcony.
That's
just
about
a
little
bit
more
space.
In
the
back.
Y
Next
slide.
Please
sorry!
Okay!
This
is
the
floor
plans
for
the
for
the
first
unit,
which
consists
of
the
garden
level,
the
street
level
and
the
next
level
up.
The
lowest
level
will
not
contain
bedroom
space,
but
rather
it's
a
living
area
in
a
small
office
and
a
bathroom
and
then
on.
The
upper
floors
will
be
the
bedrooms
and
the
kitchen
area
next
slide,
and
then
this
is
the
top
two
floor:
duplex
unit
with
the
hatch
access
to
the
private
roof
deck
for
the
upper
upper
level
unit
next
slide.
Y
So
front
and
rear
elevation
you
can
see
at
the
front
elevation.
It's
your
traditional
Southern
row
house.
Take
the
floors
above
street
level
with
the
have
Windows
for
the
lower
level
in
the
front,
but
at
rear.
The
full
walkout
condition
of
the
lowest
level
and
the
small
box
on
the
lower
two
floors
is
the
four
foot
out
by
13
foot
wide
addition
that's
being
proposed
with
the
two
rear
balconies,
as
shown
next
slide,.
Y
This
is
a
good
3D,
rendering
that
depicts
The
Proposal,
so
at
right,
you
can
see
at
the
lower
two
levels.
Is
the
about
addition,
editing
some
windows
to
get
some
light
into
those
lower
levels
with
the
two
rear,
balconies
and
then
at
the
right
of
the
3D.
Elevation
is
actually
the
neighboring
deck
the
rear
deck
at
number,
34,
Milford,
Street
and
then
the
rear
yard,
and
then
on
the
sort
of
flat
side
of
the
right
elevation
is
the
building
on
Tremont
Street
that
36
Milford
Street
connects
to.
Y
I
think
that's
it.
So
the
really
consists
of
conditional
use
permits
for
the
extension
into
the
rear
yard
conditionally
use
permit
for
the
g-cod
system
in
the
rear
yard
conditionally
use
permit
for
the
hatch.
The
far
is
being
increased
from
3.04
to
3.12
and
the
rear
yard
required
is
20
and,
with
the
bump
out,
we'll
have
12
feet
in
the
rear
yard.
The
building
code
violation
is
the
companion
change.
You
know.
Y
The
building
code
requires
that
access
to
roof
deck
shall
be
by
a
head
house
above
the
zoning
code
and
the
standards
and
criteria
of
the
Southern
landmarks
commission
require
that
access
to
a
roof
deck
be
through
a
hatch.
So
a
hatch
is
shown
on
the
proposed
plans
from
that
requires
building,
collect
relief
with
that
I'll
pause
and
take
any
questions.
X
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
this
time
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
this
board
some
background
information
from
the
extensive
Community
process
that
occurred
our
office
hosted
multiple
letters
meetings
and
the
applicant
met
with
the
eight
streets
neighborhood
association,
multiple
times
as
well.
The
app
can
address
concerns
from
Butters.
You
received
a
letter
of
non-opposition
from
eight
streets
under
certain
conditions.
X
Those
conditions
relate
to
the
removal
of
a
tree,
so
the
applicant
will
remove
and
pay
for
the
removal
and
its
Associated
costs
of
the
existing
tree
in
the
rear
yard
of
34
Milford
Street
that
they
would
pay
to
plant
a
new
tree
in
the
yard
of
34
Milford
Street
in
consultation
within
guidance
from
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
owner
of
34
Milford
Street
on
the
appropriate
tree
species
installed.
The
required
groundwater
retract
system
in
the
rear
guide
of
36
Milford
Street,
not
in
front
of
well
was
originally
proposed.
X
Pay
for
an
independent
engineer
to
review
the
proposed
groundwater
recharge
system
to
ensure
its
compliance
and
feasibility
and
install
and
pay
for
our
privacy
screens.
On
the
side
of
the
rear,
Decks
that
face
34,
Milford
Street,
the
screen
design
is
to
be
approved
by
the
owner
of
34
Milford
Street.
So
that
was
what
was
dictated
by
the
eight
streets
neighborhood
association,
but
as
mentioned
before,
we
had
numerous
supporters
meetings
and
it
seems
that
the
applicant
has
worked
things
out
with
the
Butters,
but
that
will
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.

AN
Good
morning
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board
Vanessa,
the
Wolfram
council
president
Flynn's
office,
councilor
Flynn,
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
based
on
a
good
Community
process,
good
faith,
compromises
and
feedback
from
the
eight
streets,
neighborhood
association,
Who
provided
a
letter
of
non-op
position.
Thank
you.
AP
Yes
hi:
this
is
Gail
siamono
from
eight
Bond
Street,
also
speaking
on
behalf
of
John
Malouf,
who
are
part
of
the
eight
streets,
neighborhood
association
we'd
like
to
support
the
project,
as
it
was
submitted
to
eight
streets,
neighborhood
association.
We
note
the
detailed
letter
which
was
mentioned
earlier.
AP
C
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
vpda
design
review
and
we
got
the
groundwater
letter,
so
we
don't
need
additional
review,
so
I
think
I
think
that's
at
BPD
design
review.
Thank
you.
Sorry,
quick
clarification.
Javier.
Do
we
need
a
separate
vote
on
gcat,
or
can
we
incorporate
that
here?
You.
I
C
Thank
you,
Mr
Stonebridge,
yes
Miss.
We
will.
I
Y
A
D
C
D
Y
Yeah,
so
the
there's
a
separate
refusal
letter
building
code
relief
is
that
on
a
four-story
building,
access
to
a
roof
deck
shall
be
through
a
head
house
but
of
course,
under
article
64
for
the
South
End
zoning
code
and
landmark
Tennessee
guidelines
access
to
the
roof
deck
jumping
through
a
hatch,
which
is
what
we
are
proposing
and
what
is
shown
on
the
plans.
But
when
you
do
a
hatch
that
requires
building
code
relief,
even
though
the
hatch
is
compliant
with
the
zoning
code
and
the
southern
Landmark
guidelines.
So
it's
it
is
peculiar.
C
C
E
from
the
subcommittee.
We
have
I'll
read
all
these
together
and
then
we'll
to
go
on
the.
E
E
E
Which
was
approved
to
go
to
the
public
Improvement
commission
for
approval
and
by
the
name
also
next,
we
have
case
boa.
E
1445529
with
the
address
of
16
Dwayne
Street,
which
was
also
will
shoot
the
public
Improvement
mission
or
changes
that
need
to
be
made
in
conjunction
with
doubt.
Next,
we
have
case
boa
one.
Four,
six,
three
five
three
two,
the
address
of
three
to
five
Thatcher
Street,
was
approved
actually
have
case
boa
1462924.
I
E
AB
President
Mr
simbred
great,
can
you
walk
us
through
your
request?
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
wife
and
I
are
the
owners
of
if
we
could
just
pull
up
on
the
plot
plan
of
150.
AB
Yeah,
thank
you.
So
my
wife
and
I
are
the
owners
of
150
Chestnut.
We
also
have
Jeff
Cronin
on
Paul,
who
was
our
neighbor
at
152
Chestnut.
We
have
two
separate
applications
that
are
being
presented
together:
I'm
representing
the
first
of
the
two
representing
to
modifying
a
passageway
and
a
curb
cut
for
a
parking
spot
at
150.
Chestnut
Avenue.
As
you
can
see
from
the
plot
plans,
The
Parking
Spot
would
be
set
behind
150
Chestnut,
The,
Parking
Spot
would
not
take
away
any
street
parking
as
parking.
AB
Chestnut
Avenue,
my
wife
and
my
Melanie
are
consolidating
down
to
one
car
from
two
cars
and
we
would
like
to
purchase
an
electric
vehicle,
we'll
need
to
add
a
charging
station
and
a
parking
spot
to
our
homes.
AB
Yeah
all
right,
thank
you
all
right.
We're
committed
to
enhance
the
space,
we'll
use
some
impermeable
pavers,
which
are
not
only
more
aesthetically
pleasing,
but
also
more
environmentally
friendly
for
runoff
in
the
area.
We
have
full
support
of
the
neighborhood
with
a
list
of
30
signatures
that
was
reviewed
at
the
Jamaica
Plain
neighborhood
Council
in
June,
in
conjunction
with
the
neighboring
application
at
152
Chestnut.
AB
C
AB
AB
Sideline
but
it
is
set
physically
behind
the
hole.
AQ
Yes,
madam
gmms
are
the
board
Bob
Miko
BCD
as
a
matter
of
policy
over
in
the
past
way
of
the
past,
the
this
parking
space
it
does
comply
with
what
we
normally
do.
It's
it's
really
not
in
the
front
yard.
It's
basically
at
the
side.
As
shown
and
I
like
to
go
on
with
my
support
for
this
proposal,.
X
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
of
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
There
was
a
very
positive
Community
process
where
ons
held
an
abundance
meeting
were
all
about
us
in
attendance,
were
in
support
of
this
proposal.
As
I
understand,
the
applicant
submitted
30
signatures
from
butters
on
that
street
that
were
also
in
support
of
the
proposal
to
our
office.
X
They
went
on
to
meet
with
the
jpnc,
who
was
very
supportive
of
the
proposal
and
voted
unanimously
to
support.
They
were
pleased
with
the
steps
they
took,
working
with
Landscape
Architects
and
a
commitment
to
use
permeable
surfaces
with
that
would
refer
to
the
board
weren't
aware
of
any
concerns
at
this
time
from
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
C
X
C
C
G
I
will
vote
in
favor
of
this,
but
since
they
didn't
specify
this
would
be
for
an
electric
vehicle.
Could
we
add
that
Proviso
that
it's
only
for
an
electric
vehicle.
I
I
I
AC
Yes
good
afternoon,
or
let's
say
a
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Cesar
de
Silva.
I
am
the
owner
of
the
land
at
604,
Metropolitan
and
I'm.
Actually,
a
an
architect,
a
minority
small
minority
contractor
out
of
the
74
Holland
Street,
Dorchester,
Boston
Mass,
would
like
to
I
would
like
to
contribute
to
the
solution
of
the
problems
of
the
housing
problems
in
Boston.
AC
By
building
these
three
family
building
as
a
minority
contract,
I
have
been
waiting
for
the
opportunity
like
this
for
a
long
time
now
that
the
opportunities
here
I
like
to
have
the
problem
that
this
property
contribute
to
the
tax
school
and
economic
development
of
Boston.
AC
This
particular
piece
of
land,
if
not
buildable,
would
have
no
value
to
me
or,
let's
say
anybody
else,
or
not.
Even
the
city
of
Boston,
but
buildable
will
introduce
the
neighborhood
and
provide
two
three
new
residents:
three
new
residents
for
three
new
fam.
What
brings
me
before
you
here
is
the
zoning
code
refusalem
with
the
following
violations.
AC
And
with
that
in
mind,
I
would
like
to
show
you
here
that
actually
that's
the
right
plan.
We
have
the
site
plan
to
the
left.
We
are
with
the
nearest
bar
to
the
left.
We
have
the
code
calls
for
10
feet.
We
have
10
feet
as
for
the
real
yard,
because
for
20
feet
we
have
16
feet
by
40
feet
enough
toward
parking
for
four
cars
to
the
right.
AC
We
have
like
14
feet
of
soap
green
area
through
the
length
of
the
property
on
the
Safford
Street
area,
so
on
the
front
yard
will
be
in
line
with
the
other
housing
or
houses
already
in
the
street.
So
I
believe
this
will
not
be
a
happy
impact
on
the
street
or
the
corner
of
life.
With
that
in
mind,
in
the
previous
meeting,
some
neighbors
show
some
concern
with
contacts
of
the
area
I
like
to
show
you.
If
we
go
below
here,
there
are
already
eight
three
families
in
the
already
industry.
AC
AC
Maybe
because
I
have
no
control
here
down
the
other
way
yeah.
He
wants
to
scroll
to
the
end
Pages
through
the
end
Pages,
please,
because
it
was
added
with
sand
to
be
added.
I,
don't
know
if
they
go
back.
Okay,
I,
it
doesn't
show
here,
but
we
send
pictures
of
the
existing
houses.
There
are
buildings
that
already
need
rooms
like
596
Metropolitan
is
a
three
family.
A
AC
You
very
much
go
up
a
little
bit.
Those
are
go
up.
That's
the
second
house
to
the
property
in
question,
where
I
propose
to
build
that
to
the
family,
to
the
other
side,
to
the
right
side
of
the
house
on
the
right.
So
two
houses
to
my
left
near
is
a
three
fan.
Let's
go
back
down
and
yes
and
right
there.
AC
AC
Is
again
four
to
six
units
and
we
have
to
five,
no
six,
five,
six
six
five
eight
meters
in
half
is
again
a
to
the
family,
so
they
are
another
three
or
four
more.
There
are
like
six
seven,
four
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
and
about
the
net
is
again
four
to
six
units.
AC
So
I'm
trying
to
show
you
here
that
we
are
absolutely
in
the
context
of
the
street
in
question
as
per
the
parking,
and
if
we
can
go
back
to
the
site
plan,
we
see
many
of
Three
Families
already
on
that
stream.
I
brought
that
up,
because
some
neighbors
showed
that
it
was
not
in
context,
but
I
will
try
and
show
you
that
it
is
now
that's
what
I
can
enter
any
yard.
AC
We
have
a
16
to
14
that
will
be
putting
four
decades
park
for
cars,
but
we
propose
that
only
the
right
side
that
shows
space
for
another
two
cars,
but
we
would
eliminate
that
and
have
access
for
parking
only
from
the
Safford
Street,
no
access
the
site
sidewalk.
We
will
continue
on
on
the
Metropolitan
and
we
use
the
parking
in
the
back.
So
another
question
that
was
brought
up
in
the
previous
meeting
is
that
Corners
busy
intersections,
and
maybe
there
was
various
accidents
there.
AC
But
there
is
an
issue
for
the
community.
What
I
would
like
to
be
a
part
of
finding
a
solution
for
such
a
solution
for
the
graphical
problems,
such
as
providing
traffic
lines,
speed
bumps
whatever
to
make
that
neighborhood
more
I
mean
safer
for
traffic
of
cars
and
accessibility
to
the
neighborhood
I
believe
if
I
showed
the
limits
on
the
site
plan
and
if
anybody
has
any
question
I'll
be
glad
to
answer.
AC
I
would
like
very
much
to
have
a
support
from
his
board
and
providing
a
to
a
family
and
in
three
new
families
to
live
on
the
street.
Thank.
AQ
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
Baltimore
BTD
now
parking
space,
one
is
in
the
front
yard,
so
that's
something
that
I
I
cannot
support
and
as
far
as
visibility
is
concerned,
we
can
install
signage
that
will
one
our
oncoming
traffic,
that
there
is
a
driveway
and
we
do
this
all
the
time.
So
it's
something
pretty
common,
but
I
I
agree.
It
is.
It
is
a
concern
and
as
far
as
BTD
is
concerned,
I
even
see
two
spaces
that
we
can
approve.
G
With
the
I
have
a
question:
I'm
sorry:
would
the
applicant
be
amenable
to
removing
that
space
I
think
along
Metropolitan
app.
AC
Yes,
that
was
the
proposed
if
we
could
remove
the
Metropolitan
parking
and
choose
half
the
parking
on
Stafford,
the
full
heart
and
in
the
back,
that's
what
previously
said
we
that
it's
not
feasible
for
the
city
to
have
parking
on
both
access
Department
from
boat
shoots.
So
we
will
do
this
effort,
it's
okay
with
us
and.
AQ
Yes,
block
Maple
BTD
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'd
like
to
see
the
curb
cut
reduced
to
12
feet
since
there's
only
going
to
be
two
vehicles
parked
where
there
was
four
originally
normally.
We
approve
curb
Cuts
10
to
12,
Feet
max
and
I
like
to
go
on
the
record
as
to
suggest
that
the
curb
cut
be
a
maximum
of
12
feet.
AQ
C
AF
E
AC
Yes
actually
to
the
deck
that
is
accessible
to
both
to
the
entrance
on
the
side
where
it
shows
the
six
feet
there
that
we
can
put
a
list
going
up
or
less
than
the
front.
If
the
left
is
not
first,
then
we
can
put
a
ramp
in
the
front
if
the
front,
that's
why
we
have
enough
space
and
we
are
only
left
in
the
building,
not
less
than
maybe
two
feet
or
so,
because
there
is
no
livable
space
on
the
ground
floor.
E
Okay,
I'm
not
sure
which
entrance
it
is,
but
they
suggest
that
they
would
encourage
a
ramp,
but
a
lift
would
be
would
be
acceptable.
Also,
we
may
want
to
clarify
that
with
them.
AC
Yes,
but
with
the
left
could
be
up
front
because
the
ramp
is,
we
go,
show
the
elevations.
Let's
see
the
3D
or
the
the
elevations
bring
the
lands
down.
A
AI
AC
Michael
Jackson,
we
don't
have
to
have
stairs
of
both
ways.
We
can
just
eliminate
once
the
stairs
go
to
the
back
and
the
left
can
be
put
right
on
the
on
the
right
of
that
door.
The
second
means
of
egress
and
as
for
the
front,
let's
show
the
front
right
here
as
well.
We
can
handle
them,
we
can
have
a
left
or
a
a
ramp
which
the
it's
which
one
is
favorable
for.
If

With

the

like

defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
bad
information
on
the
community
process.
Ons
hosted
two
of
Butters
meetings,
the
First
on
October
27th
and
the
second.
After
a
new
refusal
letter
was
issued
by
ISD
on
February
28th.
There
was
opposition
expressed
that
both
of
Buddhist
meetings
they
felt
the
project
was
too
big
for
the
lot.
X
They
also
had
concerns
related
to
parking
and
traffic,
possibly
impacting
existing
issues
related
to
two
nearby
high
schools,
new
Mission
bcla
and
the
ACC
I'm.
Also
on
the
street,
the
applicant
met
with
the
Hyde
Park
neighborhood
association,
twice
once
in
November
and
again
on
December.
X
Immediate
abutters
were
present
at
both
of
those
meetings.
The
Hyde
Park
neighborhood
association.
After
reviewing
the
new
refusal
letter
when
they
came
back
stated
that
they
would
not
be
able
to
support
this
proposal.
At
this
time,
our
office
has
received
six
additional
letters
of
opposition
which
have
been
sent
to
the
board
and
also
10
signatures
in
support
of
The
Proposal,
that
the
applicants
forwarded
to
us
in
the
board
should
have
access

we'll
defer

AH
AR
Hi,
my
name
is
Susan
Sullivan
I
am
a
director
budget
of
604
Metropolitan
Ave
I
just
want
to
state
that
I
am
in
opposition
to
the
building
and
in
reference
to
the
pictures
that
Mr
desilver
put
up
there
of
the
three
family
that
is
located
at
596..
That
has
been
in
the
neighborhood
for
well
over
40
years,
the
other
locations
that
he
referenced
two
to
three
blocks
away,
so
the
homes
in
this
area
are
all
too
family
or
less
I.
AR
Do
not
feel
that
that
house,
the
three
family
on
the
non-buildable
lot
beside
my
house
is
conducted
for
this
neighborhood
I
have
sent
to
the
board
pictures
of
the
parking
situation
on
a
normal
day,
so
I
hope
that
that's
you
have
copies
of
those
and
I.
Just
I
feel
that
this
is
not
a
single
family.
I
wouldn't
be
opposed
to,
but
a
three
family
it
just
I'm
totally
opposed
to
it.
Thank
you.
AR
AS
Yeah,
thank
you.
Hi
Jay
pageant
I
live
across
the
street
yeah
I
agree
with
Sue
I.
Think
it's
a
bit
oversized
for
the
lot
and
based
on
all
the
violations
and
the
current
code,
where
the
side
the
front,
the
back
everything
is
insufficient.
It
seems
that
the
way
the
code
is
designed.
This
is
too
big
for
this
for
the
slot,
so
yeah
I
I'm
just
opposed
to
the
project,
but
would
be
open
to
a
smaller
project
like
a
single
family.
Thank
you.

Hi
Madam
chair
member
in
The,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Dalia
de
Silva
I'm,
actually
Cesar
de
Silva's,
daughter
and
I
have
been
part
of
this
process
and
all
the
meetings
since
the
very
beginning,
I
know
some
of
the
concerns
were
that
we
are
developers
and
we
just
want
to
build
things,
but
that's
not
the
case.
This
has
been
a
family
project
where
me
and
my
brother
are
both
involved.
AK
I
have
been
living
in
the
city,
my
whole
life,
all
27
years
and
I
was
forced
to
leave
due
to
the
Skyrocket
price
prices
of
rent,
and
this
is
what
kind
of
triggered
us
to
want
to
create
a
solution
of
affordable
Brands.
Not
only
will
they
create
homes
for
other
people
and
allow
residents
to
stay
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
it
will
also
leave
my
siblings
with
an
option
and
not
be
forced
to
leave
the
community
that
they
were.
They
were
raised
in
right
and
grew
up
in.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
O
Yes,
I
can
I
can
read
the
recommendation.
Thank
you.
In
reference
to
boa
1473
283,
the
Boston,
Planning
and
Development
agency
recommends
approval
with
Provisions
that
plans
shall
be
submitted
to
the
agency
for
design
review,
with
attention
to
consolidating
the
parking
spaces
to
the
Safford
Street
entrance.
Reducing
proposed
curb
cuts
to
one
and
reducing
impervious
surface
area
and
integrating
the
disabilities
commission's
comments
regarding
creating
an
accessible
entrance
to
the
building.
C
I
C
AT
My
name
is
Timothy
Burke
I'm,
the
architect
for
the
project.
I
have
a
business
address
of
142
Berkeley
Street
in
Boston,
and
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
present
this
project.
I
have
with
us
today
the
owner,
Kyle
Robidoux,
and
he
would
like
to
make
up
just
a
brief
statement.
If
possible.
AO
Yes,
great,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members.
Excuse
me
members
of
the
board
and
Timothy
Kyle
robidou,
the
owner
at
six
Greenwich
Court
just
wanted
to
quickly
and
to
preface
Tim's
presentation
during
the
community
process.
You
know
in
conversations
folks
have
asked
us
kind
of
a
couple
of
questions
around
you
know.
Why
are
we
doing
this
and
the
timing
and
so
forth?
So
a
couple
things
one.
AO
AO
Also
I
am
you
know
in
terms
of
the
structure,
so
I
am
legally
blind,
I'm
likely
to
lose
my
vision
pretty
soon,
all
of
it
at
least-
and
this
would
provide
an
opportunity
for
us
to
live
on
one
floor
for
me
to
eliminate
going
up
and
down
stairs
so
it'll
increase
the
level
of
accessibility
and
then
one
other
option.
Also
is
that
you
know
my
my
mother
is
nearing
80
and
lives
in
Rhode
Island
by
herself.
AO
So
we've
often
thought
about
out
an
opportunity
to
have
my
mother
stay
with
us
in
a
place,
so
that
was
kind
of
the
precursor
of
what
got
us
thinking
about
making
or
building
out
this
Edition
and
so
forth.
So
I
know
that
just
wanted
to
kind
of
set
some
context
with
that
and
then
turn
it
back
over
to
Tim
to
walk
through
the
plans.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
AT
Thank
you.
So
what
we
work
Ed
on
was
an
addition
on
the
particular
so
that
we're
not
changing
the
appearance
from
the
street.
What
you
see
there
is
the
existing
plot
plan
and
the
next
drawing
is
the
proposed
plot
plan,
which
shows
the
addition
off
the
back.
So
the
basement
Edition
comes
out
about
16
feet
and
then
the
first
floor
is
back
about
eight
feet
off
the
existing
rear
wall
of
the
building.
AT
AT
The
next
drawing
shows
the
proposed
plans,
and
there
you
see
the
the
lower
level
addition
on
the
right,
which
would
have
enough
room
for
a
pull
out
couch
or
a
small
bed
for
Kyle's
mother
and
on
the
upper
level.
There's
a
small
room
off
the
kitchen
that
will
serve
as
a
study
and
a
TV
room.
AT
There's.
No.
There
is
a
one
small
deck
there,
but
that
would
be
the
only
deck
that's
proposed
on
the
project
and
then
the
last
drawing
shows
the
elevations
of
The
Proposal.
Actually
that
there's
the
proposed
Edition
there,
the
you
can
see
how
it
steps
down
so
we're
trying
to
reduce
the
mass
of
the
addition
and
minimize
the
impact
on
the
neighbors
and
the
neighborhood
and
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
X
It's
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
of
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process,
ons
hosting
the
butters
meeting,
where
several
residents
vocalize
their
opposition
expressing
concerns.
This
is
my
set
of
precedent
for
the
neighborhood
and
also
questions
around
the
potential
loss
of
sunlight.
X
One
applicant
did
Express.
Excuse
me,
one
of
butter
that
was
present
did
Express
support
and
the
applicant
upon
reaching
out
to
the
Civic
the
Civic
declined
to
weigh
in
on
this
proposal.
With
that
we'll
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank
you.
C
H
Okay,
I'm
a
neighbor
and
I
would
like
to
speak
in
support
of
this
I
I
I'm,
a
neighbor
of
the
family
and
I.
Think
it's
a
good
idea.
I
want
them
to
stay
in
the
city.
We
should
be
supporting
people
who
want
to
stay
in
the
city
versus
driving
people
out,
especially
supporting
people
with
current
disabilities,
and
it's
great
to
see
how
the
back
areas
in
my
side,
as
well
as
six
Greenwich
Court,
becoming
rejuvenated.
H
AK
H
AK
X
You
and
I'm
sorry
I,
neglected
to
mention
I
believe
the
applicant
did
do
a
the
shadow
study
as
well
to
address
those
concerns
when
people
mention
the
sunlight.
My
apologies.
R
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
Madam
chair
and
board
members
I
live
in
the
in
the
area
that
shares
the
backyard
of
Kyle's
property.
R
I
will
suffer
from
sunlight,
I
know
that
Kyle
is
concerned
about
his
mother
and
himself
and
so
on,
but
I
think
the
it's
obvious
to
their
brothers
that
the
the
size
of
the
development
is
too
hot,
too
high
It's
Too
Tall.
If
he
only
needs
one
floor,
why
is
he
having
two?
There
is
no
reason
to
have
two
floors
and
we
have
an
appeal
to
the
Boston
landmarks
commission.
We
are.
R
We
are
a
a
historic
district
and
we'd
like
to
become
a
landmarks
commission
at
Boston,
Learners,
Commission
area
that
we
are
protected
so
that
no
no
other
developments
like
this
are
approved
or
even
issued,
and
we
have
a
problem
with
the
process.
There's
no
public
process
in
this
in
this
for
this
applicant
first
first,
there
are
all
these
violations
that
he
has
not
addressed
and
there's
no
public
process.
We
haven't
had
any
neighborhood
meetings
where
people
are
have
been
able
to
express
their
opinion
and
their
their
do.
You
have
anything
to
add.
R
Please
there
is
well
there
already
there's
about.
He
violated
the
The
Code
by
putting
all
the
cement
on
his
backyard.
That's
without
a
permit
I,
don't
think
there's
a
permit
for
that.
So
we
are
just
really
upset
about
this
issue.
I,
don't
know
who
this
Terry
is,
but
I
never
met
her
okay,.
C
X
A
reminder
yeah
as
I
understand
it.
There
was
a
public
process.
There
wasn't
a
Buddhist
meeting
that
was
held
by
our
liaison
at
the
time,
Keisha
Santana
and
there,
as
I
said
before
there
were
a
Butters
that
they
vocalized
their
opposition
and
as
well
as
support
as
well,
so
I'm,
not
sure
if
Yvonne
was
in
attendance
there
or
what
the
issue
is
all.
AT
Yes,
we've
certainly
tried
to
work
with
the
neighbors
and
and
Kyle
and
Jill
are
big
parts
of
the
community
there.
We
we're
all
wide
open
on
one
side
towards
Molina
Cass,
there's
no
buildings
at
all
there
and
the
current
state
of
the
backyards
is
not
great,
so
we
we
feel
this
is
actually
going
to
be
an
improvement,
we're
adding
in
storm
water
infiltration
system
to
help
control
any
water
issues.
As
we
know,
there's
lots
seems
to
be
lots
more
rain
these
days.
