From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearing 05-23-17
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
a
reminder:
the
board
takes
comments
from
the
VRA
from
from
the
community
from
the
mayor's
office
all
under
advisement.
We
are
here
to
listen
to
testimony
from
you.
Please
try
and
keep
your
comments,
whether
you're
in
support
or
in
opposition
brief,
and
to
the
point.
If
somebody
else
has
already
mentioned
your
concern,
please
try
not
to
repeat
it,
because
we
are
here
fact-finding
and
the
more
information
we
can
get
the
better.
The
decision
is
that
we
can
make
with
that.
The
rest
of
the
meeting
will
be
chaired
by
mr.
Ehrlich
Marc.

Mister
chair
members
of
the
board,
Jeff
Drago,
Drago
and
Toscano
we're
seeking
a
one-year
extension
of
permits,
if
possible
due
to
the
flood
map
changes
in
this
area
after
we
were
already
approved,
greatly
affected
our
planning
and
our
building
design,
and
also
we're
dealing
with
the
NBTA
for
permitting,
because
we're
called
a
tea
station
as
well
as
part
of
this
project.
So
it
has
delayed
the
project
we
are
now
on
schedule
make.
B
B
H
Hold
sweet
good
morning,
warm
appeals.
My
name
is
Laura
believers,
but
designed
by
Azam
representing
my
client,
was
to
chang
requesting
the
one-year
extension
for
the
hearing
combined
logs
and
erect
six
family
condos,
which
is
granted
on
March
15th
to
2015
due
to
ISD,
processing
and
PRA
processing.
I've
got.
H
A
H
E
K
Chair
and
members,
my
name
is
George
Moran
see
an
attorney
with
a
business
address
at
350
West
Broadway
in
South,
Boston
I'm
joined
by
my
clients,
team
in
China
and
by
James
Christopher,
our
Siena
project,
architects.
Madam
chair
members,
this
is
also
a
request.
For
extension,
this
was
before
the
war
two
weeks
ago.
There
was
some
confusion
between
me
and
my
client
as
to
who
was
going
to
request
the
extension
he
wasn't
here
and
the
board
effectively
tabled
this
we're
back
now
asking
for
a
one-year
extension.
Much
like
the
previous
case.
K
This
is
a
matter
where
the
relief
in
fact
expired
in
January
of
this
year.
My
client
has
been
involved
for
some
time
with
some
sight
issues.
He
has
been
looking
for
a
potential
oil
tank
on
the
property.
There
was
a
change
in
the
unit
configurations,
a
reduction
in
units
from
12
to
11
that
had
to
be
approved
by
the
VRA
and
an
affordable
housing
agreement
renegotiated
with
all
of
that,
he
did
lose
sight
of
the
the
expiration
date
of
the
relief.

G
Drago
attorney
for
the
applicant
with
Drago
in
Toscano
15
Broad
Street.
We
have
been
working
with
the
community
over
a
period
of
time.
I
know
this
particular
application
and
billboards
in
general.
In
this
area,
the
mayor's
office
and
City
Council
have
asked
us
to
defer
continue
to
work
with
them
and
the
neighborhood
I'm
on
this
evolving
area.
So
we
would
ask
for
an
extension
if
possible,
if
there's
anything
in
August
I,
don't
know
if
this
that's
at
all
possible.
G
Agel
attorney
for
the
applicant
Drago
and
Toscano
15
Broad
Street.
We
have
been
working
with
the
port
north
walk
group.
We
are
now
going
back
on
their
agenda
in
June,
we've
made
some
additional
changes
of
the
project
like
increasing
parking
and
some
design
changes.
So
we
would
seek
a
deferral
motion.
E
P
Requesting
deferral
we've
been
to
the
community
process
and
we
presented
it
that
bright
loss
and
Improvement
Association
got
their
approval
in
April,
when
the
last
we
could
come
to
an
attention
that
there's
been
some
community
opposition
to
the
project
and
together,
give
us
a
chance
to
address
that
with
a
sweaty
Farrell.
The
work.
Q
B
B
T
Mrs.
genin,
that
was
the
boy
sorry
Derek,
small,
his
it's
just
a
15
Broad
Street
off
mass
into
109
for
you
today,
James
Christopher,
the
architect
for
the
project
and
the
Obamas
here
from
Daktronics,
which
is
alive.
Instead,
we
also
determine
then
we
are
seeking
relief,
correcting
14
by
48
double-sided
electronic
billboard
at
94
legend
street
value
for
the
site,
so
on
Lincoln
Street,
which
is
parallel
to
the
Mass
Pike
I'm
sure
the
violation,
the
zoning
subjective
for
the
site
is
in
NS
one.
T
They
were
shopping,
district,
the
rear
of
the
building
of
what
a
3f
4400,
which
is
the
only
violation
that
we
have
on
the
second
primary
use
of
the
board,
obviously
were
advertising,
but
the
board
will
also
aid
law
enforcement
in
on
displaying
Amber,
Alerts
public
service
announcements
and
bustle.
We
to
do
help
with
the
opioid
crisis
and
displaying
announcements
with
regard
to
that.
A
T
Yes,
we've
been
a
hundred
fifty
of
the
social,
that's
correct,
your
members,
community,
we
had
a
meeting
with
the
BAI
a
and
the
ACA
is
their
policy
not
to
support
billboards,
but
we
do
have
several
letters
of
support
from
neighboring
businesses
and
president-select
single
dose
of
the
record
and
Castagna
table
and
standing.
But
what
is
there
now?
It's
a
commercial
cleaning
company
in
the
building.
That's
there.
They.
E
E
T
C
R
W
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Megan
Frank
on
behalf
of
councilor
marks,
you
all
would
like
to
go
on
record
opposition.
We
are
aware
that
the
BPD
is
currently
working
on
rezoning,
the
highway
quarters
of
I
1993,
so
we
were
also
not
aware
of
an
abutters
meeting.
So
at
this
time
we're
electoral
record
is
squid
and
opposition.
Sir.
Y
My
name
is
Paul
Berkley
I
live
at
44
all
these
Street
in
Austin
and
I'm
president
of
the
Austin
Civic
Association
I,
live
on
the
same
side
of
the
turnpike
as
the
location
for
this
billboard
there
about
15
billboards
along
Austin
and
brightens
the
Austin
Brighton
stretch
of
the
Turnpike
in
over
the
years.
We
worked
very
hard
to
try
to
get
rid
of
them.
Whenever
the
opportunity
presented
itself.
Y
Occasionally,
property
will
change
hands
and
the
developer
that
buys
the
property
is
agreeable
to
removing
the
billboard.
We
had
some
success
with
that,
but
this
is
just
a
proposal
to
put
another
new
one
up
and
it
just
it's
contradictory
to
what
we
try
to
achieve
there.
We
feel,
like
we've,
been
unfairly
targeted
for
billboards
because
of
our
location.
The
turnpike
extension
went
in
in
1965,
and
these
billboards
all
went
up
right
around
that
time
and
unless
they
fall
down
on
their
own,
there's
really
no
way
to
get
rid
of
them.
Y
Unless
we
can
talk
somebody
into
doing
it
voluntarily,
so
we
did
not
support
this
billboard.
This
is
actually
probably
the
largest
billboard
that
you
can
put
up
48
feet
wide.
It's
on
a
monopole
that
I
forget
what
the
highways
I
think.
Maybe
he
said
around
60
feet,
so
you
don't
have
to
live
next
door
to
this
to
see
it.
You
just
need
to
live
in
that
community.
So,
as
I
said,
we
wrote
it
to
a
pause.
Z
I'm
Carol
rich
Martinez
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
Austin
bretons.
Anything
we
have
a
targeted
homeownership
program
in
the
North
bright
moon,
lower,
Austin
neighborhood,
south
Waverly
is
right
in
the
middle
of
that
we
have
been
trying
to
create.
We've
been
buying
property
in
that
neighborhood,
getting
it
out
of
the
hands
of
investors
and
turning
it
into
owner
occupied
property.
We've
bought
two
on
South
Waverly
Street
that
have
been
bought
by
owner
occupants.
Z
This
type
of
a
project
takes
away
from
the
owner-occupied
nature
of
the
neighborhood
in
the
way
that
we're
trying
to
create
a
buffer
on
Lincoln
Street,
so
that
we
can
finally
really
buffer
the
Mass
Pike
from
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood,
which
has
been
cut
off
from
Austin
and
right
in
for
years.
This
is
very
detrimental.
Putting
a
digital
billboard
up
over.
There
is
very
detrimental
to
creating
and
continuing
to
create
the
kind
of
neighborhood
for
families
that
we
are
working
on.
Thank
you
very
much.
Q
AA
My
name
is
epilepsy.
I'm
culture
of
a
homeowner's
dream
universe
from
Verizon,
an
organization
that
was
formed
last
year,
and
it's
not
probably
one
with
the
largest
specific
groups
and
not
from
Brighton.
We
opposed
Roger
because
we
believe
that
this
area,
where
the
spirit
is
exchanging,
it
becomes
residential.
We
need
to
take
pride
in
our
neighborhoods.
We
cannot
really
have
digital
billboards
that
shine
into
people's
windows
and
eyes
is
just
inappropriate,
and
since
the
city
is
allowing
all
this
residential
development
there,
please
give
us
this
residential
atmosphere
for
this
neighborhood
as
well.
Thank
you.
P
My
man
chair
members
of
the
board,
Don
Carroll
partners
in
Brighton
I
oppose
projects
not
posted
and
finally
other
than
there's
a
new
billboard.
The
community
is
a
great
success
of
the
past.
You
want
to
have
a
number
of
billboards
removed
and
this
is
not
replacing
a
billboard.
It's
actually
in
addition
to
the
existing
remotes
and
palavering
light
poles.
Thank
you.

Hi

right
now.

was

here.
The
sheriff
I
represent
Steve

he
is
in
favor
of
this
because
we
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
public

tool.
We
want
to
use
it
for

Oh,

AE
Morning,
mr.
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Matt
Keefer.
My
address
is
17
a
road
in
Jamaica,
Plain
and
I'm
here,
representing
Brighton
gardener
properties.
An
affiliate
of
Eden
properties
of
the
proponent
here
today
with
me,
is
Noah
Maslin,
a
principal
and
project
manager
of
Eden
properties
and
David
Solinsky
of
PCA
architects.
The
project
architect.
AE
AE
Housing
I
want
to
address
those
in
a
minute,
but
before
I
do
that
just
back
up
to
say
following
we
had
a
large
project
review
process
and
a
vigorous
public
review
before
we
came
here
a
year
ago,
we've
not
only
rethought
the
project
but
going
back
out
to
the
community
and
many
of
the
community
groups
that
were
involved
in
the
first
round
to
review
these
project
changes
and
I.
Think
you'll
see
that
we
have
some
significant
support
here
today.
AE
The
site
at
89,
Brighton
Avenue,
actually
is
a
little
bit
complicated
from
a
sort
of
zoning
point
of
view.
It's
three
contiguous
parcels,
33,000
square
feet
with
three
Street
frontages.
It's
a
through
lot,
it's
a
corner
lot
and
it's
in
two
zoning
districts.
So
the
list
of
zoning
relief
is
kind
of
multiplied
because
you
need
it
in
both
districts.
AE
It
remains
a
primarily
residential
project,
it's
an
apartment
project
above
ground,
floor
retail
with
off
street
parking,
and
it
replaces
some
a
combination
of
not
great
uses.
One
of
the
laws
I
had
a
three
storey
building
that
was
a
bike
store.
There
was
an
Avis
Budget,
Truck
Rental
and
a
parking
lot
on
these
three
sites.
We
would
replace
those
with
129
apartments
and
off-street
parking,
479
cars
and
Street
fronting
sort
of
small
format-
local
retail,
facing
Brighton
Avenue,
which,
as
the
board
knows,
is
a
busy
retail
street
I
want
to
review
some
changes.
AE
We've
made
in
response
to
public
reviews.
Well,
I
should
say
one
of
the
things
that
was
raised
early
on
in
the
community
review
process
was
displacing
existing
businesses.
International
bike
chose
to
go
out
of
business,
but
we
did
assist
in
the
relocation
of
Avis
Avis,
Budget
rental,
car
183,
Cambridge,
Street
nearby,
the
other
business
that
was
on
the
site.
There
was
some
concern
about
home
ownership
or
preference
for
home
ownership.
That's
one
issue
we
have
not
been
able
to
address.
AE
We've
we've
reduced
the
size
of
the
building
a
bit
in
response
to
some
concerns
about
its
its
size,
its
mass,
particularly
on
Brighton,
a
fan,
our
Linden
Street
we've
set
it
back
10
feet
and
reduce
the
size
by
1,800
square
feet,
reduced
the
unit
count
to
129
and
particularly
reduced
the
number
of
studio
units
in
the
building,
significantly
251
studio
units.
You
know.
AE
C
AE
C
AE
AF
AE
C
C
I
AE
C
AE
It
has
129
units
in
it
has
ten
additional
parking
spaces
79
parking
spaces.
This
has
been
a
little
bit
of
an
issue
and
I
want
to
just
take
a
minute
to
describe
what
we've
done
there.
We
both
increased
the
supply
and
reduce
the
demand
for
parking.
We
have
10
additional
spaces,
a
ratio
of
0.6
BTD
guidelines
suggest
a
maximum,
and
those
guidelines
are
a
little
old
now
suggest.
A
maximum
of
0.75
to
1.25.
AE
0.6
is
sort
of
right
in
the
middle
of
the
trend
line
these
days
for
apartments
in
terms
of
parking
ratios
and
we've
also
done
an
unusual
amount
of
demand
management.
If
you
want
to
think
of
it
that
way
to
reduce
the
demand
for
parking.
This
building
is
targeted
toward
a
middle-income
price
point
and
it
is
particularly
targeted
toward
people.
It's
very
easy
to
live
there
without
a
car
and
I
want
to
describe
several
of
the
things
there
will
be
a
hub
way.
Station
on
site,
there'll
be
zip
cars
on
site.
AE
There
will
be
rent
credits
for
Hubb
way,
Zipcar
and
uber
and
lyft
a
free
tea
pass
for
every
unit.
When
you
sign
up
for
a
unit.
A
transit

There
was
also
some
concern
about
undergraduates
and
that,
given
its
location
in
Austin,
it
would
become
filled
with
undergraduates
we've
also
taken
some
measures.
There
mentioned
we
reduce
the
number
of
studio
units,
I'm,
not
sure,
that's
the
most
important
factor,
because
students
certainly
rent
larger
units
as
well,
but
we
have
agreed
to
cap
the
number
of
undergraduates
to
one
third
of
the
units
into
one
resident
per
bedroom
across
all
of
the
units
and
we
are
going
to
have
a
sort
of
a
one
strike
policy
we're
going
to
from
a
management
point
of
view.
AE
A
AG
For
the
for
the
undergraduate
for
the
undergraduates,
it
would
be
only
one
little
one.
Undergrad
in
the
one-bedroom
plus
den
and
I
would
say
that
the
the
one-bedroom
plus
den
as
a
unit
site
came
up
during
the
community
process.
As
a
response
to
folks
who
were
saying
part
of
what
doesn't
exist
in
the
market
in
Nelson
is
an
ability
for
a
couple
and
a
child,
or
to
have
especially
today
with
working
folks
to
have
a
home
office
as
well,
and
that
that's
the
concept
without
unit
the.
A
Other
question
is
related
is
related
to
the
parking
and
the
Sun
steps
that
you've
taken
to
decrease
the
demand.
We've
seen
some
projects
that
have
come
before
us
with
the
piece
about
tea
passes
and
we're
not
sure
that
that
has
the
most
and
memorialized
and
interesting
use
to
be
a
policy.
What
you
know
these
units
may
start
awful
departments,
but
may
end
up
as
condos.
How
do
we
know
that
these
protections
will
be
in
place
building?
Is
there
probably
probably
assure
that
these
were
these
systems
will
be
in
place
to
monitor
that,
like.
AE
They
will
be
in
the
Kappa
that
we'll
be
signing.
We've
been,
you
know,
through
article
80
review,
the
Boston
Transportation
Department's,
been
involved
and
by
the
way
signed
off
on
this
parking
ratio.
I
think
they
think
it's
appropriate
and
we
will
be
signing
at
a
transportation
access
plan
agreement
which
will
have
these
commitments
memorialized
and.
AG
AI
AJ
AE
AE
We
are
happy
to
have
conditions
attached
to
that.
I
know
the
concerns
sometimes
about
takeout
is
the
you
know,
particularly
the
amount
of
trash
it
generates
on
the
sidewalk
from
takeout
use,
and
often
the
board
has
granted
that
with
provisos
about
you
know,
trash
patrols
about
you
know,
pest
control,
sometimes.
E
AK
E
V
Chair
members,
the
board
Warner
Eileen
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
in
record
in
support.
The
applicant
conducted
extensive
community
outreach
by
additional
visited
visits
to
the
Civic
Association.
They
have
the
support
of
the
Brighton
bolston
Improvement
Association
via
the
support
of
local
groups.
I
have
a
letter
of
support
from
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
and
they
have
an
approval
from
the
IAG
and
the
BPD.
A
thank
you.
Looking.
AL
Teaming
over
the
center
for
you,
thank
you.
Thank
you
Mark,
madam
chair
members.
My
name
is
Mark
y'all
Austin's,
like
district
City,
Council
I,
stand
before
you
in
strong
support
of
this
proposal.
I
understand
the
concerns,
I
believe
the
proponents
have
addressed
those
concerns:
I'm
a
strong
proponent
of
home
ownership,
I.
Think.
If
you
know
this
area
this
site
it
can
stand
the
density,
it
can
also
I,
believe
it
self
appropriate
use
to
be
lentil.
AL
It's
also
I
took
my
first
train
out
of
Boston
landing.
It's
a
13
minute,
walk
to
Boston
landing.
It's
a
four
minute
bike
ride
to
Boston
landed,
which
which
allows
people
greater
access
to
downtown
and
Points
West.
So
I
see
this
as
a
real
transit
oriented
development
that
can
take
the
density.
They
did
recess
the
building
at
the
wishes
of
the
community.
They,
since
the
density,
so
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.
X
Good
morning,
members
of
the
board
I'm
Alana
Olson
here
on
behalf
of
austin
city,
councilor,
at-large
and
ISA
Bobby
George.
She
would
like
to
echo
the
sentiments
as
the
district
councillor
marciano
she's
been
watching
this
project
unfold
through
its
various
iterations
and
community
process,
and
would
like
to
say
that
she
really
feels
that
this
project
on
its
merits,
respects
the
context
of
where
it
is
is
very
thoughtful
to
both
Gardner
Street
and
Brighton
Avenue
as
a
gateway
into
a
thriving
small
business
community
which
is
Alton
Village.
AN
AN
We
believe
that
the
studios
in
one
bedrooms
being
proposed
will
be
less
appealing
than
multi
bedrooms
for
students,
but
we're
also
very
excited
to
enter
into
a
cooperation
agreement
where
the
development
team
will
be
required
that
no
more
than
one-third
of
the
units
will
be
rented
out
to
students
and
generally
attempting
to
reduce
traffic.
We
actually
encourage
lower
parking
ratios.
However,
in
this
case,
we
do
support
the
proposal
to
increase
the
parking
for
this
project.
AN
Z
My
name
is
Carol
rich
Martinez
I
was
on
the
I
AG
I
work
at
twenty
Linden
Street
and
I
live
and
grape
in
Brighton.
There
are
three
points
that
I
just
want
to
make
to
you
guys
that
I
don't
think
that
I
made
as
well
as
I
should
have
the
last
time.
I
was
here.
This
is
a
very
challenging
corner.
Linden
Street
is
one
of
the
most
difficult
streets
in
our
community.
Z
If
you
do
any
kind
of
nightly
visits
with
the
police
over
there,
there
is
a
lot
of
unsavory
stuff
going
on,
and
this
part
of
Linden
Street
in
particular,
is
very,
very
difficult.
So
I
just
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
this
is
a
revitalization
program
project
that
the
IAG
worked
hard
to
design
the
windows
so
that
they
would
look
out
onto
Linden
Street
the
fact
that
there
are
going
to
be
much
fewer
students
living
there
is
a
stabilizing
factor
for
a
neighborhoods
that
some
refer
to
as
the
student
ghetto.
Z
So
that's
number
one
number
two
you're
going
to
rents
are
starting
to
stabilize
in
Austin
writing,
which
was
the
intent
of
the
mayor's
housing
plan
was
to
create
more
housing,
so
there
was
more
supply
and,
and
that
would
stabilize
rent
so
you're,
going
to
hear
from
a
lot
of
investors.
I
would
imagine
in
the
next
couple
of
months
who
are
concerned
about
their
rents,
going
down
in
small
properties
in
particular,
they've
been
able
to
rent
them
out,
regardless
of
the
condition
of
the
property
at
very
high
rents.
Z
I
would
urge
you
to
remember
that
you
know
housing
policy
needs
to
be
based
on
what's
best
for
the
city
residents
and
not
necessarily
what's
best
for
investors
and
then
number
three.
A
lot
of
people
are
going
to
talk
to
you
about
home
ownership
on
this
corner.
I
would
tell
you
that
I
have
worked
in
home
ownership
housing
for
thirty
years,
and
we
need
to
remember:
what's
happened
in
the
past
could
happen
again
in
the
future.
When
we
talk
about
homeownership
housing,
this
corner
is
not
ready
for
homeownership
housing.
Z
We
have
run
a
home
buying
mentor
program.
We
would
not
council
anybody
to
buy
a
house
on
this
corner
at
this
moment
in
time,
afford
housing
needs
homeownership
housing
needs
to
at
least
allow
for
a
person
to
live
in
at
seven
to
ten
years,
and
this
is
not
going
to
be
able.
This
is
not
a
place
where
people
are
necessarily
going
to
be
able
to
do
that.
Thank
you.
Bye-Bye.
AP
Good
morning
my
name
is
Doug
bacon
and
I
own
four
restaurants
and
pubs
within
a
10-minute
walk
from
this
property.
One
of
my
locations,
White
Horse
Tavern,
is
diagonally
across
the
street
from
this
location.
It's
a
very
important
property
and
I've
been
looking
out
on
it
for
19
years.
It's
dramatically
underused
when
it
was
a
rental
truck
business.
It
didn't
belong
up
right
now
in
you.
It
also
represents
a
very
important
link
between
a
section
of
Brighton
Avenue
to
the
east
toward
Kenmore
Square,
that
is
almost
all
residential
and
to
the
west
towards
Brighton.
AP
That
is
almost
all
commercial.
This
is
a
very,
very
important
property
if
this
project
would
bring
light
and
activity
and
people
and
energy
to
this
block,
and
it
would
be
a
very
important
asset
to
the
neighborhood.
Another
point
I
just
want
to
make
is
I,
have
approximately
150
employees
all
who
work
in
Austin
and
Brighton
and
in
the
last
few
years,
I've
seen
a
phenomena
where,
almost
10
years
ago,
almost
all
my
employees
lived
in
the
neighborhood,
and
many
of
them
walked
to
work
and
I'm.
AP
Seeing
this
phenomenon
now,
where
and
I'm
talking
about
long-term
employees
who
make
good
incomes
managers
chefs
bartenders,
these
are
not
people
who
can't
afford
to
live
in
decent
housing,
but
the
phenomena
is
they're
getting
priced
out
of
the
neighborhood
and
they're
tired
of
living
in
subpar,
quality,
housing
and
they've
told
me.
We
want
to
better
housing
and
we
are
getting
priced
out
of
the
neighborhood.
We
need
this
project,
we
need
more
housing,
we
need
better
housing,
I
hope
you
can
support
this
project.
AQ
My
name
is
Scott
Madeline
I'm
here
to
represent
the
Austin
Board
of
Trade
our
president
and
tell
that
I
couldn't
make
it
I'm
a
director
of
12
years
and
past
president
for
two
I
live
in
Austin
for
the
last
29
years
of
block
and
a
half
from
this
particular
building.
The
Board
of
Trade
unanimously
supports
this
project.
We
believe
that,
well,
it
provides
two
of
the
things
that
neighborhood
needs.
The
most
one
is
affordable
housing.
AQ
None
of
my
employees
in
my
business
can
afford
to
live
in
the
neighborhood
anymore
and
Austin
is
also
one
of
the
the
lowest,
if
not
the
lowest
vacancy
rates
in
the
city
and
having
a
nice
new
retail
space
is
really
important.
The
current
property,
the
previous
owners
that
have
fallen
to
a
terrible
disrepair,
everything
from
the
the
buildings
of
the
trucks,
lots
of
the
drainage
and
everything
we
see.
This
is
a
vast
improvement
and
a
great
addition
to
our
neighborhood.
AQ
The
gentlemen
who
are
building
the
building
have
been
very
involved
with
the
neighborhood
and
the
community,
holding
even
their
own
sessions
that
our
community
meetings
have
get
more
feedback
which
they've
incorporated
in
their
plan.
That
they
work
diligently
and
tirelessly
and
the
Board
of
Trade
unanimously
supports
it
and
I've
got
a
letter
for
you.
If
I
can
presented
to
you,
it's
got
all
the
signatories,
which
represent
everyone
from
Genzyme
New,
Balance
tbh.
AR
E
Q
AB
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
thank
you
for
allowing
residents
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
behalf
of
this
project.
My
name
is
Jean
powers.
I
live
nearby
the
site
in
Alston
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
have
been
involved
with
the
community
process
on
this
project.
From
the
start,
I've
watched
the
developers
work
with
the
community
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
project
that
really
suits
our
neighborhood
and
will
enrich
and
improve
it
and
I
hope
that
you'll
consider
approving
it.
Thank
you.
AS
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
make
you
proud
of
me.
My
name
is
Galen
Luke
I'd
like
to
speak
in
favor
of
this
project.
I'm
a
Austin
resident
have
been
for
about
fourteen
years
and
lived
in
eight
different
apartments.
Finally,
I
found
an
apartment
I
like
to
live
in
I'm,
a
founder
of
common
wheels,
which
is
a
501
C
3
charity
organization
that
focuses
on
bicycle
safety
and
bicycle
improvements
in
Olson
in
Brighton.
AS
I've
also
been
a
member
of
the
Boston
bikes
advisory
group
here
in
City
Hall
since
2008,
since
the
founding
of
it
under
Nicole
Friedman.
So
I
understand
that
there
are
many
challenges
to
the
streets
and
I
believe
that
the
parking
ratio
is
appropriate
for
the
neighborhood,
especially
I,
have
lived
on.
Ashford
Street
I
have
lived
on
Gardner,
Street,
I,
understand
the
nature
of
the
blocks.
I
think
we
do
need
more
apartment
buildings
so
that
we
can
free
up
some
of
the
Victorian
single
and
double
family
homes
for
home
ownership.
AS
I
would
love
to
own
a
home.
In
my
neighborhood
that
I've
lived
here
for
14
years.
It's
very
hard
to
find
appropriate
stock.
I
would
also
like
to
speak
on
the
setbacks
currently,
as
it
exists
in
the
drawing
Brighton
Avenue
size
feels
more
like
a
city.
The
London
Street
side
feels
more
like
apartments,
and
the
Gardner
Street
side
feels
much
more
like
in
line
with
the
nature
of
the
neighbourhood,
which
is
smaller
or
three-story
apartment.
They
have
stopped
the
setbacks.
It
will
look
very
in
keeping
with
the
neighbourhood.
AS
Business
owners,
low-income
housing,
advocates
and
others
mean
names
to
be
supported
this
project,
and
now
that
we've
come
back
and
there's
a
revised
project,
we
do
you
think
the
project
is
better
than
it
was
last
year,
but
we
are
also
unanimously
in
support
of
this
project
as
well.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
the
time.
Thank
you.
AT
My
name
is
Mary
Washburn
I
live
at
a
3
Cambridge
terrorists
in
Ulsan.
Just
three
quick
points
number
one:
the
developers
throughout
the
process
that
they
extremely
engage
them
to
me
I've
been
involved
since
the
beginning.
You
know
number
two
I'm
a
renter
and
also
as
well
I've
been
there
for
four
years.
We
need
more,
affordable
housing,
more
supply
in
the
market
to
help
all
of
us
and
number
three
director
sales
and
marketing
for
a
start-up
in
Allston.
AT
Y
Those
that
spoke
in
opposition
to
this
had
no
problem
with
these
calls.
They
spoke
for
the
building,
to
mention
effectiveness,
the
metrics
that
you
will.
We
have
a
zoning
code
that
they
spent
six
years
working
on
with
the
VRA
in
the
transportation
department
to
come
up
with
some
rules
of
regulations
that
would
dictate
where
development
should
fall.
Obviously,
the
very
existence
of
your
board
deals
with
exceptions
to
that
this
project
went
to
article
80
because
of
its
size.
Y
Article
lady
has
no
metrics
and
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency
has
no
plan
at
least
for
this
area.
So
in
the
absence
of
a
plan
or
metrics,
what
does
a
community
do
when
they
feel
like
a
project?
Is
too
big?
Will
they
point
out
the
violations
and
the
fact
that,
even
though
this
developer
acquired
four
properties,
he
still
hadn't
either
setback
requirement?
They
pointed
out
that
in
a
zone
that
caused
the
three
stories,
this
is
six
stories
in
an
area
where
it
is
no
parking
anywhere.
Y
Y
Well,
this
section
of
Boston
does
not
have
a
development
anywhere
near
the
size
of
this
in
that
location,
so
the
neighborhood
felt
that
the
goals
that
he
wanted
to
achieve
could
still
be
achieved,
but
they
asked
for
more
respect
to
the
code
that
governs
this
and
to
the
kinds
of
things
that
make

I
AA
Hi,
my
name
is
Eva
Webster
I
have
lived
in
Austin
Brighton
for
over
25
years,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
two
entities.
One
is
a
butter
who
testified
a
year
ago
about
the
project
in
opposition,
but
he's
out
of
the
country,
and
he
just
learned
about
it.
The
project
would
be
heard
today
and-
and
he
called
me
from
Europe
and
begged
me-
to
come
and
declare
his
opposition.
His
name
is
Eric
Porter,
helix
and
Linda's
read
the
same
street
where
this
project
is
supposed
and
I'm
here.
AA
Also
in
my
capacity
as
culture
of
homeowners,
Union
of
Austin
Brighton
I
would
like
the
board
to
know
that
there
is
real
real
outrage
in
the
neighborhood
with
respect
to
decline
in
plummeting
owner
occupancy
in
Austin
rowser.
When
I
lived
when
I
first
moved
to
Austin
brightened
our
owner
occupancy
was
25
percent
right.
Now
it's
15
percent
and
I
base.
This
number
on
the
data
that
I
got
from
the
BPD
a
website.
We
analyzed
the
the
census.
AA
Data
is
available
that
two
years
old,
but
in
the
last
two
years
we
analyzed
all
the
projects
that
were
a
rental,
a
cash
cow
that
were
approved
in
Austin,
Brighton
and
I'm,
convinced
that
it's
15%
right
now
in
Austin,
owner
occupancy
rate,
is
8
percent.
I
think
that
this
is
outrageous
and
not
to
pay
any
attention
to
what
is
unconscionable,
and
there
was
a
time
when
I
was
coming
to
this
board
20
years
ago
and
I
gave
up
because
I
wasn't
sure
if
the
board
really
was
being
objective.
AA
AA
The
current
of
the
site
can
call
the
candy
housing
there
and
I
agree
that
new
housing
is
a
good
thing,
but
it
doesn't
mean
the
deter
329
unit
project
that
spans
from
Brighton
Avenue
all
the
way
to
Garden
Street,
a
very,
very
long
block
extremely
wide
on
Brighton
Avenue.
It
will
look
like
a
fortress.
It
would
be
just
as
valuable
a
project
if
it
was
just
a
tea
unit
and
the
other
very
important
thing,
a
point
that
I
want
to
make.
You
know
we
here
in
the
club
on
TV
everywhere
that
may
evolve.
AA
It's
struggled
by
increasing
wealth
disparities
that
are,
you
know.
There
are
those,
perhaps
investors
and
people
who
get
richer
and
richer
and
the
regular
people
in
Boston
who
cannot
really
get
ahead.
They
they
don't
have
enough
money
to
retire,
they
with
them
with
the
parish
just
living
under
Social
Security.
Let
me
make
this
point.
The
reason
for
it
is
because
we
allow
two
young
guys
to
create
generational
wealth
for
themselves
on
the
back
of
awesome
renters
if
they
build
a
condo
building.
AA
Even
if
that
location
doesn't
lend
itself
to
long-term
owner
occupancy,
it
could
become
investors
condo
units
and
they
would
end
up
being
short-term
rentals,
just
like
those
guys
want
to.
But
at
least
a
hundred
people
would
only
con.
So
that
would
supplement
the
rent
retirement
income
and
we
would
we
would
have
people
but
angular
people
getting
well
are
on
this
board.
Not
only
the
people
who
are
well
connected
across
France
of
developers,
soccer
and
and
when
did
when
are
the
presenter
for
the
development
said
that
they
pushed
the
building
ten
feet
off.

We
increase
that

24

We
also
build

we
proposed

at

beginning,
was
46

10

we
reduced
the
42
feet,
which
is
10
feet.
I
mean
10
inches
shorter
than
the
parapet,
that
adjacent
property,
residential
property,
so
it'll
be
a

a

a
little
shorter
than
the
residential
building,
which
is
nearby
in.
AU
Not
the
same
same
side
with
Sonia,
it's
closer
to
the
our
Chevrolet
project,
the
floor
area
ratio.
There
are
several
issues
with
the
site.
One
of
them
is
the
shape
and
the
size
of
the
lot,
which
is
hard
to
deal
with,
which
sways
with
the
construction
cost.
We
also
had
the
building
was
used
for
a
full-service
cleaners
and
there's
a
lot
of
contamination
hurt,
which
also
causes
an
financialized
shift
and
removing
the
the
soils
and
the
different
materials
were
contaminant
contaminated.
These
setbacks.
AU
We
are
maintaining
the
exact
setback
of
the
existing
building
and
also
adjacent
to
this.
The
four
flexpay's,
because
we
contain
the
sweet
sweet
line
of
belgrade,
have
the
same
size,
same
of
same
alignment
as
the
building
of
the
right
side.
The
same
align
the
building
across
from
across
week,
as
well
as
the
residential
building
that
we
mentioned,
the
rear
setback
the
site
is
next
to
in
the
back
of
the
site,
is
a

from

after

the
area
concerns

on

mitigation,
parking,
green

preservation,
public
transportation,
home

density
and
height.
This
process
also
includes
included
strong
community
opposition
to
the
as
a
right
aspect
to
the
development
of
75

with
the

AV
At
this
point,
the

office
feels
that
a
reasonable
balance
has
been
between
the
developed
in
the
community
with
regard
to
the
aforementioned
concerns
so
long
as
the
promises
made
during
this
paltry

forecast,
these
include
contributions
to
the
neighborhoods,
affordable,
housing,
the
slow

infrastructural
needs,
in
addition
to
public
accessibility
to
their
on-site

inclusion

compliance
and
access

Sullivan
I'll
be
able
to
come
to
that
large
michael
clarity.
The
council
recognizes
the
ongoing
community
concerns
would
like
to
commend
the
proponent
for
working
with
the
community
in
the
community
outreach
efforts
that,
at
this
particular
point
council
like
to
go
on

support.
BA
Yes,
madam
chair
members,
aboard
my
name,
is
Richard
Heath
I
live
at
42,
Bourne
Street
Jamaica
Plain,
not
far
from
this

I
was
a
member
of
the
IAG.
This
is
one
of
the
most
successful
I
AG's
that
I
ever
participated
in
considerable
respect
and
consideration
was
afforded
my
community
by
the
developer,
which
I
really
appreciate.
BA
The
units
have
been
reduced,
30%
considerable
reduction
in
the
number
of
units
reduction
in
the
massing
in
the
size
of
wakil
Street
setbacks
on
the
sidewalk
on

Hill,
Street
setbacks
on

upper

and
finally,
the
two
other
points,
I
think
the
concession
made
to
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
is
very,
very,
very
unusual
to
take
funds
and
put
it
into
the
housing
trust
fund.
An
off-site
homeownership
program
through
D&D,
as
always
very
generous,
very
unusual
and
commendable
I,
also
respect
the
fact
that
this
change
of
condo
to
rental
I
think
for
two
reasons.

chair
members
of
the
board,
still
coming
from
the
VP
da
our
board
like
to
commend
the
development
team
for
a
robust
and
responsive
community
process.
We
had
six
meetings,
which
is
definitely
a
lot,
and
there
were
many
changes
made.
I
have
a
list,
but
I
don't
want
to
reiterate.
Since
most
of
them
have
already
been
said.
We
also
worked
really
closely
with
the
state
representative
for
the
letter
of
support
for
this
project.
Thank
you.
AN
AO
BB
Good
morning,
chair
and
good
morning,
board
members
I'm
the
district
councillor
for
this
area
and
I'm
here
to
speak
in
opposition
I
will
tell
you
was
a
difficult
decision,
because
this
was
a
robust
process
involved.
Seven
community
meetings,
six
meetings
with
the
PPD,
a
and
I-
was
involved
with
some
of
those
meetings
as
well.
A
lot
of
concessions
on
behalf
of
the
developer,
who
maybe
started
off
a
little
rocky
rocky
but
ultimately
ended
on
some
I
think
great
community
benefits.
BB
But
we
did
extensive
outreach
for
this
project
and
because
the
majority
of
the
residents
in
the
area
opposed
this
project,
I,
frankly
have
to
stand
with
them.
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
concerns
was
obviously
affordability
and
the
number
of
units
that
are
affordable,
I
think
another
concern
had
to
do
with
the
Greenway
overlay
protections
and
real
concerns
about
whether
or
not
this
developer
would
honor
those
protections
and
then
lastly,
transportation
and
traffic
calming
measures.
I
will
say:
I
can't
put
all
that
on
a
developer.
BB

BC
BD
Hi,
my
name
is
Rikki
odor
I'm,
a
co-leader
of
not
home
Canterbury
Neighborhood
Association,
who
represents
neighborhoods
middle
section
of
American
Legion
right
where
this
site
is
building
site.
We've
been
at
least
six
community
meetings
in
each
one.
They've
been
voiced,
this
opposition
on
all
the
letters,
all
the
letters
that
are
sent
to
the
BPD
a
on
this
project,
72%
an
opposition,
18%
support
and
or
neutral.
That's
a
four
to
one
in
opposition
on
this
I'm
going
to
say:
American
Legion
is
a
Parkway.
BD
It
has
Greenbelt
protection
just
like
the
J
way
or
any
other
there
supposed
to
be
a
Greenbelt
protection
of
review.
If
the
decisions
in
that
zone,
but
one
of
the
grants,
the
King
asked
for
I
believe
is
to
get
rid
of
that
over
would
be
a
different
set
of
eyes
in
a
different
department
that
will
determine
whether
it's
appropriate
Greenway.
BD
One
of
the
we
have
for
public
transportation-
everyone
in
our
neighborhood
either
has
one
two,
maybe
sometimes
three
cars,
not
everyone,
but
most
every
one
mile
of
the
mile
walk
from
here
to
the
orange
line.
I,
don't
think
the
Autry
parking
ratio
is
good
enough.
The
neighboring
streets
are
a
problem
with
parking
and
traffic,
and,
what's
going
to
happen,
is
these
so
neighbors
a
good
50
residents
will
be
parking
on
the
street.
I
have
submitted
a
report
I'm
just
kind
of
hitting
the
highlights
on
it.
I
don't
have
the
time
to
look
at
it.
BD
We
do
recognize
the
hard
work
that
developers
came
to
put
into
this
project.
We
do
appreciate
their
attention
restore
in
the
open
spaces
in
the
categories
north
and
their
plan
to
buy
with
shuttle
bus
that
may
help,
but
we
feel
this
hike
is
too
high
and
parking
ratio
is
not
good
enough,
among
other
things,
we're
also
thinking,
but
I
do
I
think
there
may
be
a
solution
to
this.
My
last
point:
the
last
report
from
the
VP
PA.
BD
We
finally
found
out
that
the
owner
of
the
land
of
these
five
parts
of
the
owners-
it's
really
a
little
lesson.
Two
acres
1.83
usable,
is
asking
for
seven
million
dollars
for
seven
million
dollars
its
assessed
at
maybe
with
the
buildings.
At
two
point:
three:
the
land
less
than
a
million
I,
did
some
little
study.
I.
Think
the
market
value
is
maybe
two
and
a
half
of
a
million.
So
developer
comes
to
us.
They
said
I
can't
make
it
smaller.
BD
The
numbers
don't
work
on
the
Wonder
he's
got
seven
million
dollars
to
pay
off
on
the
land,
and
the
only
reason
that
would
possibly
happen
is
if
you
overlook
all
these
violations.
That's
the
only
way
this
guy's
going
to
get
seven
million.
If
it,
if
you
get
to
three
million,
maybe
a
different,
you
know
it
will
have
to
be
smaller.
I
think
that's.
E
BE
My
name
is
face:
Girdler
and
I
live
at
73,
Lenin
Street,
which
is
right
down
the
street
towards
the
Hyde
Park
and
I.
Just
yeah,
I
have
to
say
I'm
definitely
opposing
this
measure,
because
you
know
too
close
to
poets,
Joyce,
Kilmer,
I'm,
sure
I'll
never
see
a
condo
park
as
lovely
as
a
tree
and
I
just
hate
the
thought
this
is
going
to
be
like
this
massive
fortress
in
a
really
residential
area
of
two
storeys
and
I'm,
not
opposed
to
condos
or
apartments
there.
BE
I'm
just
opposed
to
the
height
the
height
is
what
really
horrifies
me
and
there's
a
reason
we
live
there.
We
live
here
because
it's
low
scale
and
just
to
see
something.
That's
massive
like
a
fortress
looming
where
there
was
you
know,
trees
and
parks
and
one
family
houses.
You
know
that's
why
I'm
just
totally
opposed
and
I
also
have
to
say
that's
getting
from
there
to.
Fourth
till
it
is
not
a
walking
distance,
it
is
not
and
that's
why
they
keep
saying
all
you
know:
it'll
be
okay,
because
we
have
to
sell
us
know
it.
BF
Name
is
Craig
Panzer
I'm
a
resident
at
eighteen,
Woodbourne,
Road,
closer
to
Forest
Hills
in
this
development
and
I
wanted
to
be
eyes
on
the
ground
to
underscore
that
is
not
walkable.
I
do
cycle
I'm
a
minority
of
I
hate
residents,
my
neighbors
that
are
closer
to
Jason
to
walk
Hill
Street
only
one
other
neighbor
rides
the
train,
all
others
Drive,
especially
in
the
winter.
It
is
not
safe
on
sidewalks
and
people
think
that
I'm
crazy
for
cycling.
BG
Good
morning
my
name
is
Eugenia.
Williams
I
live
at
twenty
six
month,
Calvary
row
I've
been
living
in
this
role
in
the
area
for
the
past
22
years.
I
want
I'm
not
going
to
be
repeating
the
points
that
have
been
made
before
I
am
here
to
say:
I
do
not
support
this
project,
and
one
of
my
main
concern
is
the
incompatibility
of
such
a
structure
with
a
neighborhood
as
the
one
that
we
live
in.
It's
an
established
residential
neighborhood,
consisting
mainly
of
working-class
residents.
BG
It
causes
us
the
regular
working-class
people
who
live
and
enable
it
causes
us
concern
so
based
on
the
points
that
have
been
made
before,
which
I
really
don't
want
to
repeat
and
based
on
the
fact
that
the
regular
regulation
that
stated
that
provides
this
a
vision
and
clear
guidance
for
neighborhoods
like
us,
to
protect
neighborhoods
from
imposing
structures
and
I
quote
from
Part
C
of
that
regulation,
which
says
that
the
design
of
any
structure
must
be
compatible
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
This
design,
in
its
present
form,
is
not
compacted.
E
K
Far
as
the
project
disturb
early,
there
is
a
large
setback
on
the
American
Legion
highway
side,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
top
of
my
presentation.
The
American
Legion
side
of
the
property
is
where
the
Canterbury
work
lies.
Not
only
have
my
clients
from
the
beginning
agreed
to
a
large
maintain
a
large
open
space
area
there
along
that
easement,
but
have
actually
committed
to
making
improvements
to
the
the
Canterbury
work.
Removal
of
invasive
species,
creating
passive
open
space
again,
not
simply
for
the
residents
of
the
building,
but
for
the
neighborhood.
K
So
there
is
a
great
deal
of
passive
open
space,
evidenced
on
the
site
plan
that
is
part
of
the
project.
On
your
of
transportation.
Again,
I
would
point
out
that
there
are
more
parking
spaces
than
proposed
rental
units
here,
126
spaces
for
the
106
approved
units.
Nonetheless,
my
clients
are
still
providing,
as
is
required
under
a
large
project,
review
for
ample
bicycle
storage
as
property
and
a
commitment
to
working
with
the
city
to
implement
a
shuttle
to
Forest
Hills.
So
it's
not
as
if
everybody
would
be
relying
on
the
shuttle.
K
It's
not
as
if
everybody
would
be
relying
on
private
motor
vehicles,
but
the
combination
of
a
1.2
parking
ratio,
the
creation
of
a
shuttle
and
the
availability
of
alternative
modes
of
transportation.
We're
confident
of
more
than
satisfied
of
what
the
look
at
transportation
needs
of
residents
of
this
building
would
be
big.
E
B
Your
next
case
calling
vo
a
688,
eight,
seven,
four,
seven
to
eleven
ballina
place.
This
is
to
construct
three
residential
townhouse
units
with
three
bedrooms
and
one
and
a
half
baths,
and
each
the
building
will
be
two
and
a
half
stories
tall
with
two
garage
parking
spaces
and
one
exterior
off-street
space.

the
Department
of

Development
designated
Habitat
for
Humanity
as
the
developer
for
this
site
to
develop
three
units
of
housing.
We
are
requesting
two
items
relief.
The
first
is
for
a
relief
from
the
minimum

size
requirement
of
just
25

BJ
BK
Little
bit
about
their
work,
the
belief
that
were
requesting
this
is
a
three
F
6000
sub
district
in
the
Dorchester
neighborhood
district,
we're
requesting
relief
from
article
65
section
8
to
allow
for
multi-family
dwelling
use.
As
Travis
mentioned,
the
proposed
project
will
include
six
workforce
housing
units.
The
design
is
a
side-by-side
six
unit
structure,
they'll
make
the
price
project
financially
viable
and
allow
for
the
maximization
of
open
space,
while
also
enabling
the
energy
efficiency
and
sustainability
designed
out
of
elements
as
architectural
team
will
discuss.
BK
They've
incorporated
a
number
of
design
elements
to
ensure
the
project
will
be
consistent
with
the
scale
and
character
of
the
existing
structures
in
the
neighborhood.
We're
also
requesting
relief
from
65
41
for
off
street
parking.
The
zoning
code
would
require
1.25
cars
per
unit
and
we're
requesting
six
we're
proposing
six
spaces,
so
that
will
be
one
one
parking
space
per
unit
and
we
believe
that
that
is
sufficient.
Given
the
affordable
nature
of
the
project,
the
unit
sizes
and
the
proximity
to
public
transportation.
BK
We're
also
requesting
relief
from
65-42
point
two.
With
respect
to
setback,
the
proposed
setback
for
the
project
is
15
feet.
We
meet
the
setback
requirement
in
table
C,
but
we
are
requesting
relief
from
the
modal
setback
requirements.
The
setback
of
the
the
various
structures
on
this
site.
I'm
sorry
on
this
block
varies
quite
a
bit.
BK
The
the
setback
that
we're
proposing
is
actually
consistent
with
the
closest
structures
on
that
side
of
the
street,
but
it
we
do
still
require
relief
from
that
requirement
and
there's
a
if
you
look
at
the
second
page
of
the
permit
set
that
was
submitted.
You
can
see
a
chip
in
the
bottom
left,
a
diagram
that
shows
the
setback
of
the
various
structures
on
the
street,
we're
also
requesting
relief
from
65
9.
With
respect
a
lot
area,
we're
proposing
a
lot
area
of
7,000
34
square
feet.
BK
The
Wotton
question
is
considerably
larger
than
many
of
the
other
rots
in
Norwell
Street,
and
we
believe
that
the
proposed
project
would
be
in
line
with
the
density
of
most
of
the
structures
on
that
street.
We're
requesting
relief
from
65
9
for
floor
area
ratio,
we're
proposing
a
floor
area
ratio
of
0.8
3,
that's
higher
than
the
FA
are
required
by
the
code,
which
is
0.4.
BK
However,
the
density
is
needed
in
order
to
make
the
construction
of
the
project
as
workforce,
housing,
viable
and
the
level
of
density
is
similar
to
the
existing
buildings
on
the
street.
Existing
buildings
vary
and
FA
are
from
about
0.3
to
about
1.45,
so
we're
just
sort
of
in
the
middle
of
the
road
in
terms
of
density.
BK
We're
also
requesting
relief
with
respect
to
65
9
for
useable,
open
space,
we're
proposing
about
1840
square
feet
of
usable,
open
space.
The
design
is
a
six
unit
side-by-side
building
was
was
intended
to
maximize
the
amount
of
usable
open
space
and
we're
incorporating
a
number
of
architectural
approaches
to
incorporate
light
channels
and
incorporate
other
elements
to
maximize
light
exposure
and
reduce
the
perceived
density
of
the
project.
BK
Finally,
we're
requesting
relief
from
65
9
with
respect
to
number
of
storeys.
The
proposed
project
is
35
feet
tall
and
three
stories
tall
with
a
flat
roof,
so
it
complies
with
the
height
limitation
in
the
code,
but
the
code
required
limits
the
number
of
stories
at
2.5,
so
we
would
be
at
3,
which
is
consistent
with
the
house,
the
surrounding
structures,
which
are
mostly
2
and
3
stories,
mostly
three
story:
buildings
with
both
pitch
pitch
roof
and
dormers,
and
some
flat
roof
triple-deckers.

Good
morning,
so
my
name
is
Lee
Goodman
and
my
dad
Jeff
Goodman
we're
watermark
development,
and
this
is
a
joint
venture
with
horizons
for
homeless
children
represented
by
Cape
Fear
and
we're
currently
the
landlord
next
door
to
horizons
as
our
tenant
and
they're
expanding
with
us
into
the
site
next
door.
So
it's
a
great
project.
It's
a
social
service,
centered
building,
so
it's
all
going
to
be
either
nonprofit
or
like
Department
of
Children
and
Family
type
uses
in
the
structure.
We've
had
a
long,
long,
Community
Support
period.
BV
An
animus
support
throughout
there's
also
going
to
be
a
cafe
at
the
corner
of
gimmick
and
a
Murray
Street
that
the
VRA
asked
us
to
implement
and
that's
going
to
be
run
by
a
local
business
group
that
runs
Chillicothe
and
Jamaica
Plain
I'm,
actually
going
to
let
Kate
talk
briefly
about
horizons
and
their
mission.
So.
A
Excuse
me:
so
let's
talk
about
the
violations,
because
there
are
guest,
3
zoning
violations,
I'm,
sorry
to
interrupt
you,
but
we
do
know
what
what
the
organization
does
the
project
is
before
us
for
for
appealing
the
violations.
So
please
can
you
can
somebody
on
the
team
to
talk
about
what
is
required
and
what
you're
posing
sure.
BV
So
the
three
violations
are
height,
f,
AR
and
a
take
out
use
the
take
out
use
was
for
the
cafe
space
at
the
corner
that
the
b
ra
was
looking
to
get
some
kind
of
street
life
involved
in
that
corner
of
a
more
endemic.
The
the
fa
are,
and
the
height
are
just
the
result
of
a
normal
former
industrial
area
being
essentially
ruiz
owned
through
JP
rocks
and
we're
a
little
bit
in
front
of
that,
but
we're
kind
of
piggybacking
in
the
spirit
of
the
rezoning.
BV
E
BV
BV
Currently,
the
height
requirements
35
feet.
If
it's
an
ID
a
zone,
JP
rocks
has
rezone
the
area
and
encouraged
more
density,
and
so
what
they've
done
is
encouraged
a
density
bonus
for
affordable
housing.
So
while
this
isn't
a
housing
project,
it
doesn't
have
that
density
bonus
component.
It
does
fit
in
you're
going
to
start
to
see
14
story,
buildings
next
door,
so
we're
just
kind
of
right
about
halfway
up.
C
BV
BV
E
AD
So,
thank
you.
Mister
chairman
members
would
Jeff
Hampton
deputy
director
for
zoning
I
want
to
make
the
record
clear,
although
this
planet,
the
BPD
a,
is
in
strong
support
of
this
project,
I'd
like
to
make
the
record
clear
that
no
zoning
changes
have
been
done
to
this
area
that
have
been
incorporated.
It's
article
55.
It
does
meet
the
spirit
in
the
guidelines
of
the
plan.
AD
However,
no
zoning
changes
have
been
done
as
of
yet
tired
about
55,
so
I
don't
want
anyone
in
the
audience
or
on
the
board
to
be
confused
about
bonus
densities
because
it
hasn't
been
incorporated.
Yet
we
haven't
written
it
yet.
So
the
zoning
that
is
before
you
now
is
the
zoning
that
is
still
in
place.
AD

Like
a
jumping,
just
to
mention,
as
we
from
Columbus
does
every
there's
a
15-foot,
great
Rock,
so
part
of
our
parking,
two
levels
of
our
parking
essentially
is
tucked
into
the
hill,
and
we've
worked
with
the
BPD
a
to
do
major
step
backs
and
setbacks
along
Dimmick.
We
currently
there's
a
five-foot
sidewalk.
We
work
to
go
to
12-foot
sidewalk.
We
push
the
building
back
an
additional
25
feet
on
the
demyx
ID
to
open
up
the
air
for
the
boat
for
the
pedestrian
access
along
Dimmick.
In
addition
to

C
E
BV

What
so,
what
it
is
is
is
the
there's
35
feet:
roll
houses
and
then
the
way
we
designed
it
was
to
take
the
architecture
of
that
brick
and
bring
it
across
and
then
have
our
building
step
back
to
begin,
the
new
streetscape,
as
you
described
it
and
I,
think
the
expectation
is
as
we
go,
they're
going
to
get
higher
next
to
us.

they

access
what
they
need

that

Hi,
my
name
is
Carolyn
Royce
I'm
at
19,
Olmsted,
Street
I'm,
here
speaking
personally
on
the
project
I
attended.
All
the
public
meetings
about
the
project
and
I
also
have
been
very
involved
with
plan.
Jp
rocks
and
I
appreciate
the
questions
from
the
board
in
that
regard,
even
though
plan
JP
rocks
is
not
encoded
in
zoning
and
it
does
represent
the
community
standards,
I
think
for
how
to
change
industrial
Lots,
how
to
change
the
use,
height
and
density
of
the
industrial
lots,
of
which
this
is
a
really
good
example.
CB
So,
I
wanted
to
just
say
a
couple
of
things:
the
height
the
height
it's
designated
for
this
and
planned
rate
throughout
270
feet,
so
they
have
exceeded
that
height.
I
can
still
support
the
project
because,
despite
that,
because
that
frontage,
the
place
where
it's
the
highest
is
on
Columbus
AB,
which
is
very
very
wide
and
has
a
medium
strip.
Three
lanes
in
each
direction
also
is
very
important
that
fit
to
me
that
they
acknowledged
our
goal
of
wider
sidewalks
for
better
pedestrian
experience.
All
these
Lots
involve
demolition
and
new,
build.
CB
There's
no
reason
those
buildings
can't
go
back
twelve
feet
to
give
a
better
pedestrian
experience
and
they
did
that
on
this
project
and
they
did
it
on
Demick
Street
will
will
make
a
very
big
difference.
That's
a
very
narrow
street.
The
other
thing
is
that
they
honored
the
Jaypee
rocks
guideline,
which
is
when
you're
the
abutting
apartment
buildings,
which
you
correctly
said,
were
three
stories
high.
They
those
belong
to
urban
edge
plan.
Jp
Roth's
guidelines
call
for
a
step
back
when
you,
when
you're
next
to
three-story
buildings,
and
they
did
that
on
Deming
Street.
CB
So
I
do
appreciate
that
the
place
where
they
don't
meet
the
step
backs
and
setbacks
is
on
a
Murray
Street.
They
don't
have
as
much
step
back
and
they
don't
have
as
much
step
back
as
would
be
required,
namely
Street
is
a
little
narrower
Street
and
across
the
street
of
the
street.
Is
a
three-story
building
I
just
asked
if
they
could,
if
you
could
ask,
but
when
BP
da
does
their
design,
we
you
that
they
would.
Please
look
at
that
again.
CB
BV
Only
know
that
I
know
Gabe
your
ox
isn't
built
yet,
but
I
think
if
you
look
closer
at
what
JP
rocks
is
proposing,
it's
actually
14
stories
adjacent
to
our
site
and
the
reason
they
did
70
feet
was
because
they
expected
six
story
podium
apartment
buildings.
This
is
a
use
that
no
one
really
expected
here,
because
they
all
you're
seeing
in
Jamaica
Plain
right
now
is
the
massive
residential
six
story.
Podium
projects.
We
don't
think
that's
a
good
use
for
this
site,
because
this
allows
something
different.
BV
It's
a
job,
centers
the
expansion
of
horizons
for
homeless,
and
we
needed
that
to
create
the
parking
to
make
the
building
function.
There's
two
stories
of
parking
set
into
the
hill
and
since
they
he'll
grade
changes,
it
makes
it
it
pops
the
height
up
into
that
number
you're
talking
about.
But
again
it's
just
a
function
of
the
use
of
the
building.
BV

Do

it's
I
don't

They
have

there

expand

So
I
know
my

he's
not

It's
a
similar
use,

he's
a

with

be

to
my
far
right,
we're
here
before
you
today
for
conversion
to
a
single
family,
to
a
two
family,
basically
to
legalize
a
long-standing
actual
occupancy
of
the
building
and
to
properly
permit
a
rear
portico
that
was
mistakenly
built
at
the
rear
entrance
exit
on
the
first
floor
level
without
a
permit,
the
rear
portico
triggered
zoning
relief
required
for
rear
yard
and
sufficient
and
groundwater
review.
By
way
of
a
little
bit
of
background,
the
family
has
owned
this
property
in
this
building.
CI
For
over
20
years,
it's
been
inhabited
as
a
family
ever
since
days
before
they
purchased
it.
For
some
reason,
the
occupancy
was
never
realized,
despite
various
efforts
to
do
so
over
the
past
two
decades.
We
were
here
basically
to
obtain
approval
for
the
two
family,
the
city
assessing
Department,
for
what
it's
worth
has
had
the
property
listed
as
a
two
family
since
2005
for
over
a
decade.
CI
So
it's
a
so
it's
a
very
narrow
lot.
It's
only
a
thousand
square
feet.
Majority
of
the
property
is
covered
by
the
existing
building.
The
lot
is
only
thirteen
and
a
half
feet,
or
so
at
the
rear
of
the
property.
Sixteen
and
a
half
feet
at
the
front
and
the
violations
are
basically
kind
of
bifurcated
and
that
two
of
them
are
due
to
the
the
zoning
the
legalizing
of
the
two
family,
the
usable
open
space,
because
we
are
technically
adding
a
unit
per
the
zoning
code,
as
well
as
the
density
regulations
in
the
rear.
CI

I've,
had
some
conversations
with
the

over

of

They
were
looking
for
some
additional
clarification
on
the
key
card
on

GT
car.
Trigger

provided
them
with
that.
However,
they
have
yet
to
submit

at
this
time,
I
do
support
a

has
committed
to
installing

but
the
plans
to
have
not
yet
been
submitted
to
Water
and
Sewer
for
approval.
CI
This
office
was
brought
on
board
about
10
days
ago.
The
African
just
did
not
understand
the
requirement
and
that's
the
reasoning.
We
provided
a
letter
today
to
the
board
for
the
file
from
the
civil
engineer,
who
has
been
hired,
who
is
on
board
and
does
have
plans
in
the
works
for
the
recharge
system.
But,
frankly,
the
the
applicant
just
wasn't
aware
of
the
requirement
at
the
time
had
the
last
10
days,
we've
done
as
much
work
as
we
possibly
can,

don't

why

have
that
done
by

next
hearing.
The
reason
why
we
strongly
urge
not

a
deferral
is
just
because
that

I
kept
getting
the
runaround
from
my
contractor.
Until
all
the
way
through
the
fall
saying
it
was
coming,
it
was
coming.
He
then
disappeared
through
the
holidays,
got
back
in
touch
with
me,
saying
it's
coming
after
the
first
a
year
and
again
disappeared
for
over
two
months,
I
went
down
to
10:10
MATLAB
in
February
of
this
year
to
find
out,
he
had
initially
pulled
a
short-form
permit
the
incorrect
permit
because
he
was
extending
the
deck
not
replacing
an
existing
structure
at
that
time.
CJ
The
required
setback
is
15
feet
from
the
rear
property.
The
deck
actually
runs
away
from
the
property
line.
So
at
the
closest
point,
it's
a
at
the
closest
point
to
the
setback
properties
11
feet.
Six
inches
it
is
in.
It
is
in
compliance
within
two
feet
of
the
deck
okay,
because
the

line
in
the
deck
run.

Our

There

For

it's

it

here
of
my
client,
al
Morano,
who
was
the
owner
of
31
a
31
Lexington
Street,
as
was
mentioned,
we're
seeking
zoning
relief
to
add
a
third
storey
penthouse
unit.
Mr.
Morano
is
looking
to
move
back
to
East
Boston
and
live
in
the
building.
It
was
mentioned
back
in
2004.
This
was
approved
by
the
board.
The
permits
expire
due
to
financial
reasons,
and
mr.
Morano
is
back
seeking
to
build
that
unit
for
himself.
G
Most
of
the
violations
on
the
building
are
pre-existing,
isn't
a
two-family
district,
so
it's
a
multi-family
building
being
pre-existing.
The
SAR
will
increase
slightly
from
point
8
to
1.05.
Obviously,
the
storeys
in
height
go
from
two
and
a
half
to
three
the
side,
yard
and
rear
yard.
Both
are
pre-existing
violations,
roof
structure
restriction
is
triggered
by
the
third
storey,
and
the
parking,
as
was
mentioned,
is
410
sports.
That
has
been
pre-existing.
That
parking
has
been
there
since
the
building
was
built.
G
We
worked
diligently
with
the
Eagle
Hill
Civic
Association
this
time
around
to
make
a
number
of
changes
more
of
historic,
look
to
the
building
with
a
mansard
roof
and
new
clapboard
on
the
sidings
and
shutters
along
the
windows.
The
current
unit
would
be
a
proposed
unit,
would
be
a
two-bedroom
two-bath.
Fourteen
hundred
and
eighty-eight
square
foot
penthouse
unit,
as
was
mention
all
of
the
other
units,
are
pre-existing
in.

There
was

going
about
is
meeting
also.
They
change
the
design
of
our
time,
apparently
Eagle

Civic
Association,
which
also
have
requested
that
they
provide
some
type
of

They
were
in
strong

of

as
well.

J

So
thanks
very
much
for
taking
the
time
to
hear
my
case
this
morning,
I
live
in
the
property
with
my
wife
and
my
two
little
girls,
my
wife
and
I,
bought
the
house
in
2005
one
of
the
big
reasons
we
fell
in
love
with
the
house
and
decided
to
move
into
it.
Even
though
it's
a
little
bit
out
of
our
price
range,
was
it
had
a
roof
deck?
That
was
a
big
determining
factor
in
why
we
bought
the
house.
CC
We've
enjoyed
the
roof
deck
since
then
we
are,
you
know,
very
active
members
of
the
community
and
we
also
take
a
lot
of
pride
in
being
landlords.
In
fact,
this
is
true.
I
just
got
a
text
from
one
of
my
tenants
this
morning,
who
said
good
luck
at
the
meeting
you're
a
great
landlord,
and
you
can
tell
the
board
that
we'll.
CC
CC
Alright,
alright
I
can
show
you
the
text.
I
have
it
on
my
phone.
So
a
little
over
a
year
ago,
I
received
our
serve
Notice
of
Violation
I
had
no
idea
that
it
existed
as
that
the
violation
was
existing.
You
know
we
had
lived
there
for
over
a
decade
before
getting
this
notice.
Since
then,
it's
been
about
a
year
and
a
half
that
I've
been
trying
to
navigate
the
process
of
legalizing
it.
It's
been
a
pretty
difficult
process.
Can
you
continue.
CC
E
B
A
CC
CC
CC
CC
C
CC
Right,
yes,
it's
an
8
foot
setback
currently
from
the
front
of
the
building
and
I.
Actually,
just
yesterday
had
the
brilliant
idea
of
print
out
some
pictures,
so
you
guys
can
see
it.
This
is
the
view
of
the
front
of
our
building
over
here.
Okay,

eliminated.
The.
BO
And
certainly
the
building
code,
its
intrusion
into
a
public
way,
and
initially
we
were
seeking
relief
for
that.
But
it's
after
a
discussion
with
the
architect,
we've
decided
that
the
violation
is
only
six
inches.
It's
because
for
every
inch
above
eight
feet,
you're
allowed
to
produce
protrude
out
one
inch,
providing
you
don't
exceed
two-thirds
of
the
public
way
and
here
that
difference
is
six
inches
and
discussed
the
architect
with
the
architects
in
the
hall
and
he's
we've
concluded
that
it's
not
a
problem
with
the
design
or
do
not
among
that's
correct.
Well,
let's
draw
that.
C
E
BO
The
zoning
violations
have
been
eliminated,
our
traffic
visibility
on
the
coin,
a
lot
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
we
have
an
existing
building
alignment
or
modal
alignment
here
of
zero
and
where
no
front
yard
is
required.
That
section
of
the
outlet
case
of
the
mental
requirements
doesn't
apply.
Additionally,
I
would
like
to
mention
that
this
Lance
in
court
is
a
very
small
street.
It's
not
a
throughway
I,
don't
know
the
exact
number
of
houses,
but
there's
less
than
ten
houses
on
the
street
so
that
it
isn't
a
high
traveled
Road.
BO
Has-
and
it
was
approved
by
this
board-
there
was
an
issue
with
advertising,
one
violation,
so
we
had
to
go
through
the
process
again,
but
but
to
some
benefit.
By
going
through
the
process.
Again,
the
building
changed
a
little
bit.
Initially,
there
was
a
mess
in
a
room,
a
bedroom.
On
the
top
floor,
that's
been
removed,
there's
some
of
the
ornamental
detail
and
