Description
Zoning Board of Appeal Hearing 1-12-20 (Part 1 of 2)
A
New
year,
everybody
welcome
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeal
for
january
12
2021.
We
are
now
in
session.
This
hearing
is
being
conducted
in
accordance
with
the
applicable
provisions
of
the
open
meeting
law
and
the
executive
order
of
governor
baker,
suspending
certain
provisions
thereof
due
to
the
ongoing
public
health
crisis.
This
hearing
of
the
board
is
being
held
remotely
via
the
webex
platform.
A
The
information
for
connecting
to
this
hearing
is
listed
on
today's
hearing
agenda,
which
is
posted
on
the
public
news
notices
page
of
the
city's
website.
Boston.Gov
members
of
the
public
will
enter
the
virtual
hearing
as
attendees,
which
means
you
will
not
see
yourself
on
screen
and
you
will
remain
muted
until
administratively
unmuted.
A
A
The
number
of
people
called
upon
to
offer
comment
and
the
time
for
commenting
will
be
limited
by
the
chair
as
time
constraints
require.
For
that
reason,
the
board
prefers
to
hear
from
members
of
the
public
who
are
most
directly
impacted
by
the
project.
That
is
those
individuals
who
live
closest
to
the
project.
A
A
B
A
C
E
Good
morning,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
david
aiken,
I'm
the
senior
project
under
the
community
builders,
the
applicant
and
developer
of
the
project.
I
received
a
one-year
renewal
last
year.
In
that
time
we
have
secured
the
financing,
that's
required
from
the
department
of
housing
community
development
at
the
commonwealth,
and
we
expect
to
be
able
to
break
ground
this
summer,
which
is
the
reason
why
we
are
coming
forth
for
an
extension.
C
A
G
I'm
not
show
this
is
the
first
extension
it's
for
a
hospitality,
mixed-use
project
and
the
same
impacts
economically.
That
affects
a
lot
of
hospitality.
Projects
has
slowed
this
one.
The
proponent
has
done
quite
a
bit
to
advance
the
project.
Design
has
prepared
the
site
for
construction,
but
in
the
current
market,
it's
not
possible
to
get
a
construction
loan
they're
asking
for
a
one-year
extension.
G
C
G
This
is
a
60
unit,
residential
project
in
west
roxbury,
it's
in
the
general
vicinity
of
the
home
depot
area.
This
was
originally
a
market
rate
project.
It
was
proposed
by
a
different
developer,
who
was
not
able
to
proceed
with
the
project
last
year.
My
client,
which
is
an
affiliate
of
the
nate
britt,
the
jewish
relief
organization.
That
also
is
a
major
provider
of
senior
and
affordable
housing
agreed
to
acquire
the
project.
G
The
prior
proponent
had
a
one-year
extension
at
that
time.
We
are
asking
for
a
second
extension,
but
the
first
extension
for
this
current
owner,
because
the
project
has
been
changed
from
a
market
rate
project
to
100
percent
affordable.
It
will
be
one
of
the
few
affordable
projects
in
west
roxbury.
It's
relying
on
public
funds
as
well
as
private
funds
and,
as
members
of
the
board
are
familiar.
G
C
C
I
Excuse
me,
madam
chair,
in
reference
to
126
lexington
street,
this
is
a
three-unit
condominium,
the
board,
legalized
the
occupancy
as
three
units,
the
unrelated
owner
of
the
first
floor
unit
had
extended
living
space
into
the
basement,
which
resulted
in
a
violation
issuing
which
stayed
the
issuance
of
the
permit,
rather
than
correct
the
violation
the
owner
sold
the
unit,
a
new
owner.
In
fact,
this
summer
corrected
the
unit.
However,
the
common
area
utilities,
particularly
the
gas
meters,
need
to
be
installed
outside
for
access
rather
than
through
the
unit.
Okay,.
C
I
K
C
L
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
happy
new
year,
richard
lynn's
245
sumner
street
east
boston
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
madam
chair.
This
is
a
project
that
involves
the
conversion
existing
manufacturing
building
into
a
123
room
hotel.
We
are
requesting
a
one-year
extension.
The
applicant
has
completed
its
design
review
with
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency.
H
I
just
I
I
get
a
good.
I've
got
a
question
on
this
one.
This
building's
been
a
complete
eyesore
for
a
real
long
period
of
time,
with
with
construction
materials
hanging
from
the
building
all
of
that
stuff
it
it
seemed
to
be
making
no
too
little
progress.
I
know
the
city's
dealt
with
that
and
some
other
areas,
let's
go
like
what's
really
going
on
here-
is
this
coming.
L
Through
the
chair,
mr
ajiro
yeah,
I
mean
if
anybody
who
drives
through
eastboss
is
pretty
familiar
with
this
site.
The
current
owner
actually
acquired
the
project
from
the
prior
developer,
who
went
through
the
original
permitting
process.
They
have
worked
diligently
to
get
the
project
finalized.
There
were
some
issues
relative
to
telecommunication
pieces
of
equipment
that
are
on
the
roof
that
need
to
be
relocated.
L
I
can
comment
on
that
as
well,
so
the
city
of
boston
has
requested
that
the
current
owner,
hudson
62
llc
jameson
hotel
management
go
ahead
and
close
up
the
windows
close
up
the
building.
It
was
open
to
the
elements
they've
done
that
during
covet.
That
was
something
that
was
completed
to
the
satisfaction
of
the
city
of
boston
and
the
mayor's
office,
neighborhood
services
and
isd
and.
L
C
L
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lin's
245
sunder
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner,
I'm
sure
this
was
approved
back
in
2018
for
purposes
of
erecting
a
30-unit
residential
dwelling
in
accordance
with
article
80.,
the
similar
situation.
Here
the
plans
have
been
finalized
with
bpda
they
are
in
for
permit
and
those
are
being
reviewed
by
isd.
The
applicant
is
ready
to
begin
construction
once
the
permit
issues
and
therefore
requires
additional
time
until
such
time
as
that
occurs.
C
M
C
N
N
A
O
N
F
C
K
A
Q
A
C
C
C
Okay,
madam
chair
gonna,
call
the
first
case
calling
boa
one
one:
zero
two
four
one:
zero
two:
twenty
william
mcclellan
highway.
This
is
seeking
to
change
the
opposite
from
medical
marijuana
to
a
cannabis
establishment.
The
violations,
article
53,
section,
15,
cannabis
establishment-
is
conditional
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please
thank.
T
As
was
mentioned,
we
are
seeking
to
change
the
existing
occupancy,
which
is
medical
cannabis
facility
to
a
full
cannabis
establishment
that
would
include
adult
use.
This
particular
location
is
located
along
1a
in
east
boston.
What
is
unique
about
it?
As
you
can
see,
there
is
no
residential
housing
in
this
immediate
area.
Our
closest
residential
housing
is
over
a
thousand
feet
away.
Okay,.
T
So,
madam
chance,
a
great
question,
so
we
were
approved
in
november
of
2016..
We
did
not
by
the
time
we
were
able
to
build
out
and
submit
everything
to
the
ccc.
We
were
not
able
to
get
our
approval.
Our
final
comments
operations
granted
until
april
28
2020.,
and
that
was
right
at
the
height
of
the
pandemic,
so
we
were
shut
down.
So
at
this
point
we
just
wanted
to
go
forward
with.
T
A
T
T
T
What
it
also
has
is
two
large
loading
bays
which
is
unique
for
a
cannabis
facility,
so
all
of
the
loading
or
unloading
of
cannabis
would
be
done
in
the
security
of
the
inside
facility
strictly
by
personnel,
so
away
from
the
public
eye.
There's
plenty
of
area
inside
this
building
for
queuing
50
people
within
the
lobby
and
plenty
of
area
to
cue
along
that
with
the
pandemic,
though,
we
don't
expect
that
to
happen.
We
believe
it
would
be
more
like
24
folks.
A
T
U
A
U
Sure
so
we
so
during
the
daytime
and
operating
hours
of
the
facility
we
will
have
our
security
staff
both
inside
and
outside,
and
the
outside
staff
is
obviously
fully
committed
in
their
actual
main
purview
is
to
ensure
that
our
any
customers
vacate
the
property
immediately
after
they
have
a
purchase
transaction
take
place.
So
there's
no
rain
in
our
parking
lot
and
no
consumption
of
cannabis
on
our
property,
because
that
is
not
allowed
in
state
law.
U
As
jeff
mentioned,
we
have
360
degree
coverage
externally
of
this
facility,
so
much
so
that
john
gray,
recently,
our
director
of
security
was
contacted
by
the
boston
police
department
regarding
an
accident
that
took
place
right
outside
our
facility.
So
we
have
great
camera
coverage
is
monitored,
24
7.,
if
any
any
activity
is
in,
our
infrared
sensors
go
off
out
outside
of
our
operating
hours,
and
it's
of
any
substance.
We,
for
instance,
somebody
trying
to
get
into
the
building.
We
are
notified.
U
U
Yes,
it's
a
represents
about
fifty
percent
of
our
business.
So
the
repeat:
customers
prefer
an
online
action
because
they're
not
doing
any
shopping,
they
know
what
they
want.
They
look
at
our
menu
online.
They
place
that
order
upon
their
arrival.
They
have
to
have
the
four
id
checks
in
order
to
get
their
product,
but
it
is
an
expedited
process
that
typically
takes
less
than
six
minutes.
A
F
H
U
T
W
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
leader,
mainly
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
know
the
recording
support.
There
were
no
concerns
expressed
by
residents,
but
during
the
community
process
and
the
office
of
neighborhood
services
also
received
a
layer
of
support
from
the
state
representative
adrian.
Thank
you.

Okay,
so
that's
that's
what
I
was
going
to
say
when
I
was
going
to
the
community
process.
No,
no
intent
is
exactly
so.
There
is
the
comm.
The
utility
room
will
be
larger
because
to
accommodate
the
sprinkler
unit,
because
this
building
will
be
fully
sprinkled
and
as
it
is
in
this
plans,
the
sprinklers
will
not
tanks
will
not
be
able
to
fit
there.
So
the
community,
the
utility
room,
will
be
a
bigger
and
then
the
rest
of
the
free
space
will
be
one
bathroom
in
a
bedroom.
AC
A
A
C
L
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lynch
245
summer
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
in
that
chair.
This
is
an
existing
2400
square
foot
lot
on
the
eagle
hills,
section
of
east
boston
and
as
a
secretary
indicator,
we
are
proposing
a
three-unit
dwelling
new
construction
on
the
site.
L
This
will
contain
a
total
of
three
all
two-bedroom
single
bath
units
they're
approximately
about
12
to
1300
square
feet,
each
so
very
generously
sized
could
easily
be
accommodated
or
modified
to
allow
for
a
three-bedroom
with
respect
to
the
relief
that's
necessary.
This
is
located
at
2f,
2000
district.
L
We
do
comply
with
the
minimum
lot
size
and
lot
with
requirements.
We
do
require
relief
for
one
of
the
one
of
the
conditions
we're
proposing
with
respect
to
side
eye.
We
are
locating
the
building
just
under
a
foot
off
of
the
left
side
of
the
property.
We
are
setting
it
back
three
feet
on
the
right
side,
which
is
closest
to
the
bearish
structure
to
our
right,
and
that
would
also
allow
for
openings
on
the
right
side
of
the
building.
L
A
L
As
you
can
see,
this
is
the
front
on
rendering
this
side
of
falcon
street
is
low,
is
consists
of
mostly
triple
decker
type
buildings.
We
are
proposing
something
that
is
relatively
consistent
height.
We
do
have
a
better
rendering
in
context.
If
you
could
scroll
down
a
little
bit
further,
and
here
we
go
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
propose
something
that
meets
or
at
least
respects
the
character
by
also
providing
off-street
parking
at
the
lower
level.
L
The
height
of
our
building,
madam
chair,
is
a
total
of
39
feet.
11
inches
slightly
over
the
35
foot
height
limit,
that's
permitted.
We
do
show
in
the
plan
we
are.
We
are
able
to
accommodate
at
least
two
parking
spaces.
With
some
configuration
of
proposed
storage.
We
are
actually
confident
we
can
get
three
parking
spaces
total
in
the
site.
We
are
requesting
relief
for
it.
Nonetheless,
we
were
cited
for
insufficient
offshore
parking,
but
are
unable
to
address
that.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.

Good
morning,
madam

members
of

with
the
mayor's
office
of

we
would
like
to
go

process.
The
applicant
addressed
most
of

It
is
bounded
by
essentially
mclaughlin

the
hotel
at
the
hilton
garden
across
the
street
and
then
a
large
two
acre
unbuildable
parcel
that's
owned
by
formerly
owned
by
the
sons
of
divine
province
involved
with
the
donnerly
owned
nursing
home
on
the
hill.
Our
proposal
would
erect
a
new
seven
unit
dwelling
with
a
total
of
seven
parking
spaces.
L
The
unit
sizes
are
approximately
all
about
a
thousand
square
feet,
two
bedroom
two
bath,
and
this
is
intended
for
home
ownership
upon
completion.
This
does
sit
on
the
existing
4
000
square
foot
lot,
which
is
conforming
under
article
53.
It
also
has
sufficient
frontage
at
51
feet.
We
are
proposing
a
setback
on
the
side
three
feet
on
the
left,
which
is
closest
to
mcclellan
highway,
with
little
impact,
there's
no
residential
structures
and
proposing
a
10
foot
setback
on
the
right.
L
We
are
proposing
setbacks
of
about
10
feet
on
the
rear.
29
feet
would
be
the
actual
required
setback,
but
again
we're
looking
at
a
approximately
two
acre
site
that
is
non-buildable.
There
are
deed
restrictions
in
this
in
the
existing
title
for
that
property
that
do
not
allow
anything
to
be
built
on
the
site
directly
to
the
rear.
Our
building
would
be
it's
being
cited
as
a
five-story
voice.
We're
seeing
here
we're
showing
it
as
a
total
of
four
stories,
and
I
believe
it's
just
under
45
feet.
L
L
I
do
fully
appreciate
the
board's
concern
over
roof
decks,
but
in
taking
this
on
a
case-by-case
basis
and
considering
that
the
surrounding
neighborhood
and
the
context
of
the
strong
neighborhood
there
will
be
little
to
none
to
no
visual
impact
from
any
head
houses
proposed
in
this
case
and
again,
because
we
do
have
a
calling
the
way
to
our
left,
the
hilton
garden
hotel
to
our
front
and
then
nothing
behind
us
or
nothing
able
to
be
behind
us.
We
feel
that
the
impact
from
the
head
houses
is
minimal.
A
L
So
again,
we
are
requesting
relief
on
the
side
yard,
at
least
on
the
left
side.
We
would,
we
probably
would
not
be
within
the
step
back
requirement.
Seven
feet
is
required
in
the
two
f
four
thousand
district,
so
the
head
house
to
the
left
would
likely
be
non-compliant
with
the
side
yard
setback
head
out
to
the
right
would
be,
however,
the
left
would
be
in
violation
of
article
53.
again,
the
nearest
the
butter
is
mccollum
highway
to
the
left.
L
We
also
have
eric
zacherson
who's
the
project
architect,
but
I
believe
we
do
have
a
site
plan
showing
the
access
from
the
right
side
of
the
property
with
the
number
of
parking
spaces
oriented
towards
the
rear.
We
do
show
an
area
based
upon
the
size
of
this
building
again
towards
the
rear
left
very
transformer
again.
This
is
a
becomes
a
a
more
consistent
or
frequent
requirement
for
these
type
of
these
size
projects
in
the
neighborhood.
F
Well,
the
drawings
are
fine.
I
I
do
have
a
question
on
the
elevations,
with
with
respect
to
the
roof,
decks
and
head
house.
This
is
a
question
on
the
side
elevations
of
a
31-32
they're
drawn
in
clearly
and
on
the
front
and
rear
elevations
of
a30
they're
sort
of
shadowed,
as
if
it's
not
really
definite
that
they're
going
to
be
there.
Is
there
a
reason
for
that.
R
F
AE
Madam
chair,
ed
devoe,
the
trainlands,
if
you
could,
I
mean
no
fault
to
the
to
the
owners
of
the
developers
of
this
property,
but
that
is
a
bit
of
a
nightmare
intersection.
There
is,
if
you
could
possibly
just
explain
a
bit
more
about
entering
and
exiting
the
property
in
terms
of
parking.
I
know
there's
some
gridlock
at
the
intersections
of
late
warden,
ian
mcclellan.
AE
L
Yeah,
so
a
good
good
question,
mr
devon,
obviously
you're
very
familiar
with
that
area.
Clearly
coming
out
of
the
property,
you
would
not
be
able
to
cry,
I
believe,
there's
a
double
yellow
line
on
bourbon
street.
You
would
only
be
taking
a
right
turn
only
and
then
access
to
the
property
you
have
to
access
from
boardman
street
as
well.
There
would
not
be
the
ability
to
take
a
left
turn
off
of
boardman
onto
the
site,
so
you'd
have
to
either
come
back
down
absolutely
street
related
back
into
borton
street.
A
L
A
L
So
there
is,
there
is
a
mix
along
boardman.
We've
done
a
number
of
projects
on
the
end
of
lane
street,
where
board
ordman
merges.
We
do
have
some
four-story
buildings
at
the
end
of
lady
as
well.
There
isn't
a
park
building
that
is
at
the
intersection
of
laden
and
boardman
again
it
may
not
be
shown,
but
the
reverse
view
of
this
here,
there's
a
four-story
multi-family.
I
believe
it's
a
12-unit
building
that
merges
at
the
intersection.
W
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
dina
traveling
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
the
recurring
support
the
office
of
neighborhood
services
held
on
nevada's
meeting
on
september
22nd,
where
the
applicant
addressed
several
of
the
concerns
of
diabetes.
We
received
15
letters
of
support,
including
from
avarice,
including
two
different
programs.
Thank
you.
AI
AF
V
AK
Yes,
hi,
I'm
linda
knox
and
I'm
the
director
butter
of
this
project
and
I
hear
of
everyone's
concerns.
But
as
far
as
the
driveway,
that's
really
not
a
concern
right
now,
three
cars
back
in
tandem
and
we
have
no
problem
getting
out
because
even
people
you
know,
know
the
situation
at
the
red
light
or
they're
just
kind.
But
you
can
also
take
a
left
and
go
on
board
man.
AE
L
I
can
confirm
that
there
is
a
double,
I
believe,
there's
a
double
yellow
line,
so
the
right
turn
only
out
of
the
property,
and
I
want
to
just
add
one
thing:
currently:
vehicles
back
out
onto
boardman
street.
This
project
would
allow
for
vehicles
to
come
out
around
and
take
a
turn
so
actually
improve
the
safety
of
access
to
the
site.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.

L
Chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lin's
245
summer
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner,
I'm
at
the
transit
pre-existing
three-unit
dwelling
in
the
eagle
hill
section
of
east
boston.
I'm
gonna
clarify
the
record.
The
violation
included
a
description
to
add
roof
deck.
During
the
community
process,
we
eliminated
the
roof
deck,
so
there
is
no
roof
deck
being
proposed.
L
With
respect
to
this
project,
the
proposed
change
would
result
in
an
extension
of
living
space
into
the
basement
area.
As
you
can
see
from
the
you'll
see
from
some
of
the
side,
renderings
and
side
views
of
the
property.
This
has
a
pretty
substantial
exposed
foundation
as
the
corner
condition
of
this
property
descends
down
towards
condor
street.
So
we
have
almost
a
fully
exposed
basement
towards
the
rear
portion
of
the
property.
L
We
would
be
proposing
approximately
a
two
bedroom
750
square
foot,
two
bedroom
unit.
In
the
basement
level.
We
are
able
to
comply
with
all
the
building
code.
Requirements
to
include
include
appropriate
means
of
egress
for
this
particular
space,
and
the
building
obviously
would
be
fully
sprinkled
based
upon
renovations
to
the
property.
This
is
the
two
f-2000
district
and,
as
we
said,
it's
already
a
pre-existing
non-conforming
structure.
The
change
from
a
three
family
to
a
four
family
would
involve
an
extension
of
the
non-conforming
use.
L
We
would
also
require
variance
for
the
existing
condition
of
of
far
which
is
already
at
1.95,
that
would
be
increased
to
2.51,
and
then
article
53
requires
that
any
proposed
additional
dwelling
units
for
pre-existing
non-conforming
structures
would
require
to
be
required
to
comply
with
the
parking
for
that
additional
unit.
So
a
variant
for
one
parking
space
is
also
being
requested.
We're
not
changing
anything
with
your
stuff.
L
So,
as
you
can
see
here
in
this
miss
fullen's
screen,
we
do
show
common
mechanical
that
are
accessed
from
the
rear
of
the
building.
The
entire
building
would
have
access
to
that
which
is
required
under
the
building
code.
So
there
is
no
no
requirement
to
enter
the
unit
or
to
go
inside
the
unit
for
any
of
the
mechanicals.
That
would
service
the
building.
A

F
W
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
linda
trammelling,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
in
support
during
the
community
process.
The
applicant
can
work
close
with
the
community
and
address
most
of
the
concerns,
and
we
also
receive
11
letters
of
support
from
our
buyers,
including
one
director.

you.

This
is
a
use
of
premises,
application
to
confirm
two
parking
spaces
at
the
rear
of
a
two
family
dwelling
at
eleven
and
a
half
clermont
park,
and
it
is
a
condition
that
has
existed
for
over
50
years,
but
in
connection
with
the
other
renovations
to
the
property.
Isd
asked
us
to
file
a
user
premises,
permit
application
to
confirm
the
two
parking
spaces.
AM
A
F
AM
That's
the
access
issue,
we're
not
quite
sure
why
isd
recommended
that
we
file
a
supremacist
application
for
parking
spaces
that
have
existed
for
over
50
years.
Perhaps
it
is
because
parking
spaces
that
are
part
of
condominium
buildings
are
now
being
assessed
as
separate
tax
parcels.
So
perhaps
to
clarify
that
record,
it
was
recommended
that
we
do
so.
F
AM
Same
it's
the
same
for
every
other
and,
like
I
said,
the
condition
has
existed
for
over
50
years,
and
the
residents
of
this
building
have
used
the
parking
back
there,
as
has
every
other
resident.
So
its
maneuverability
seems
to
be
the
the
default
citation
for
parking
spaces,
but
there
is
maneuverability
and
these
spaces
are
readily
used
by
the
residents.

Good
morning

I'm
at

spring

in

has
been
spotty
this
morning,
so
hopefully
I
will
not
be
cut
off
here
if
I
do
I'll
go
back
on
my
phone
as
soon
as
possible,
but
I'm
on
my
computer
right
now
good
morning
to
the
board.
Thank
you
for
hearing
us.
I
am
the
architect
for
the
project
represent
the
ownership
of
the
building.
AO
That's
already
finished
and
is
legal
that
is
currently
on
the
first
floor
in
the
basement,
and
they
would
like
to
subdivide
that
unit
into
a
separate
first
floor
unit.
That
would
be
two
bedrooms,
so
that
would
exist.
That
would
be
essentially
existing
to
remain
and
then
we
would
eliminate
the
spiral
stair
between
that
and
the
basement
part
of
that
unit
and
then
separate
the
basement
part
which
again
is
already
finished.
It's
already
part
of
the
gfa
to
become
a
studio
unit
and
it's
really
a
garden
unit
that
is
at
level.
AO
A
I'm
really
torn
with
this,
because
you
know
it
feels
that
the
the
applicants
have
already
come
for
relief,
have
profited
off
of
that
relief
and
now
are
looking
to.
You
know
continue
that
in
the
meantime,
there's
understanding
the
south
end.
There
is
no
opportunity
for
off
street
parking,
so
you
know
anyway,
let's
just
go
through
the
process
here.
What
people
have
to
say?
AO
Sure
the
there's
a
ceiling
plan
that
shows
that
the
there's
over
eight
feet
of
height
in
this
proposed
basement
unit
eight
feet
to
eight
foot
six
and
then
also
in
the
supplemental
document,
the
there's
a
section
that
shows
the
the
heights
of
the
wind
the
window
in
the
back.
So
we
have
the
the
exterior
perspective.
Certainly
we
could
furnish
elevations
if
that
is
required.

right,

like

support
of
this
proposal
and
a
butters
meeting
was
held
and
there
were
no
concerns
on
the
same
street.
Other
parcels
that

multi-families
have
basement
units,

it
fits
in
with

The
applicant
has
recently
made
improvements
to
the
premises
in
fall
of
2020.
Those
improvements
were
approved
by
the
four-point
channel,
landmark

commission.
They
include
refurbishing
the

also
installing

landscaping.

So,
with
the
improvements
that

made
have
been
pretty
significant,
we
also
have
do
have
a
maintenance
plan
when
we
send
people
out
to
clean
it
out.
But
if
you've
visited
the
lot
recently,
you'll
notice
that
the
fence
that
was
installed
has
been
completely
refurbished
and
the
planting
bed
as
well
has
been
it's
a
new
planting.
Bed
is
installed,

As

been
down

there
are
some
sort
of

a
block
away
at
the
corner
of

right
now
incorporates
the
early
education
center
of

The
proposal
is
to
relocate
the
students
from
that
early
education
consent
to
create
a
new
south
boston,
early

center.
Here
at

that
would
thus
free
up
space
for
growing
demand
for

services
currently
offered
at
the
other
location.
AS
There's
not
much
of
a
change
in
terms
of
the
building.
It
is
an
interior
retrofit.
There
is
some
work
in
terms
of
a
new
entry
vestibule,
but
no
expansion
of
the
building
vertically
or
the
footprint
of
the
building,
the
area
which
is
currently
now
an
open
air
area
between
the
church
and
the
convent
building
would
be
repurposed
as
both
a
drop-off
area,
drive-in
and
drop-off
for
the
south
boston
early
education
center.
AS
The
site
plan
shows
the
the
proposed
15
parking
spaces,
as
well
as
the
turning
circle
for
pickup
and
drop-off
and
in
terms
of
the
violations.
This
would
be
an
early
education
center.
As
I
said,
it
is
not
a
daycare
per
se.

is

we're
offering.
So
there
is
a
relief
required
for
the
use.
AS
Also,
the
zoning
refu
refusal
letter
cites
parking.
The
required
parking
here
for
the
new
uses.
Nine
parking
spaces,
as
I
indicated
15,
would
be
provided.
The
reason
why
this
was
cited
on
the
refusal
letter,
I
believe,
is
because
in
in
the
detail
on
the
refusal
letter,
is
that
the
examiner
says
it
doesn't
account
for
parking
for
the
other
uses
on
the
site,
namely
the
the
the
church.
The
church
has
its
own
parking,
which,
looking
at
the
site
plan,
is
up
at
11
o'clock.
AS
AS
They're,
anticipating
five
classes
of
15
children,
essentially
what
the
number
is
now
at
the
other
location
at
the
corner
of
owen
broadway,
and
also
the
there'll
be
staggered
times
for
for
the
preschool,
so
that
there'll
be
some
drop-offs
occurring
occurring
at
seven,
seven
30
and
8
a.m
and
the
pickups
would
occur
at
2,
30,
5
p.m
and

In

the
the
the
staff
is,
you
know,
there's
parking
associated
with
south
boston
catholic
academy,
a
block
away,
so
the
staff
for
the
current.
You
know:
k-0
k0k1,
the
same
staff,
in
other
words,
is
currently
parked
there.
So
there's
no
increase
in
the
number
of
staff.
It's
just
a
relocation
of
the
school
services
to
a
block
away,
so
you
know
whether
they,
whether
they
some
may
live
in

and
watch
the

or
those
who
currently
park
at
the

Madam
chair
members,
I
know
the
last
thing
that
the
board
wants
to
hear
is
this
sort
of
an
introduction,
but
this
is
a
very,
very
curious
case
and
will
take
some
explanation
but
feel
free
to
cut
me
off
when
you
think
I've
spoken
enough,
but
this
is
a
matter
of
a
roof
deck
that
has
already
been
approved
on
the
roof
of
a
building.
AS
AS
The
plans
examiner
then,
after
this
matter,
was
approved
by
the
board,
indicated
to
my
client
that,
because
there
were
two
roof
decks
that
there
needed
to
be
two
penthouses,
I
have
an
email
exchange,
and
this
is
the
only
way
I
was
able
to
bring
myself
up
to
speed
with
what
was
going
on
here.
An
email
exchange
from
october
11th,
which
I'm
not
going
to
read
unless
the
board
asks
me
to
october
11
2017
with
the
commissioner
of
isd.
AS
A
AS
The
the
unshaded
area
is
the
area
is
the
the
roof
deck
in
question
again,
which
was
already
approved
by
this
board,
and
then
the
the
new
penthouse
in
in
the
front
that
was
built
to
provide
access
to
the
unit
5
roof
deck,
as
required
by
the
inspectional
services
department.
So
in
other
words,
the
rear
penthouse,
which
is
shaded,
has
a
door
coming
from
that
to
the
roof,
and
that
is
considered
or
at
the
time
was
considered
by
isd
as
the
access
penthouse
for
the
roof
deck
on
the
right.
AS
AS
This
was
my
question
to
the
inspectional
services
department
in
october
of
2017,
and
the
answer
that
I
got
back
mr
ehrlich,
because
I
suggested
the
very
same
thing.
It
was
our
intention
from
the
beginning
that
if,
in
fact,
penthouse
access
was
required
for
the
occupied
roof,
it
was
provided
by
the
rear
common
penthouse.
The
position
of
the
inspectional
services
department
at
the
time
was
that
if
there
are
two
decks
there
need
to
be
two
penthouses.
AS
It
was
a
literal
application
of
the
relevant
building
code
section
which,
as
the
board
is
aware,
is
not
applied
the
same
way
today.
At
the
time.
In
fact,
I
was
told
that
we
would
not
either
the
inspirational
services
department
would
not
even
support
relief,
which
actually
we
already.
We
already
got
relief
because
the
board
approved
it
without
penthouse
access,
but
it
was
post
zba
approval
where
upon
isd
said
because
of
pressure
from
the
state
at
that
time
fall
of
2017
that
they
were.
You
know
I.
AS
And
just
again
just
to
confuse
matters
complicate
matters
a
bit
more
was
there
was
an
abutters
meeting
held
in
on
november
of
2018
and
then
the
hearing
for
some
reason
was
never
scheduled
and
we
didn't
find
out
about
this
until
the
certificate
of
occupancy
for
the
building
issued
and
that
co
said
issued
for
eight
units
and
one
roof
deck
you
know,
and
and
but
not
the
second
roof
deck.
Because
of
a
pending
amend
application,
I
contacted
zba
staff,
there
was
no
record
of
the
hearing
being
held
and
nobody
at
the
time
noticed.
AS
Q
A
F
F
A
AS
A
C
AS
Yes,
that's
an
old
image,
mr
fortune.
The
building
actually
units
are
for
sale,
which
this
is
also
complicating
because
unit
owners
unit,
buyers
attorneys
are
insisting
upon
a
full
permanent
co
and
that's
what
can't
happen
until
until
this
gets
resolved.
But,
yes,
those
are
just
old,
both
the
street
view
and
the
bird's
eye,
viewer
or
old
images.
AS
AR
A
This
is
the
part
that
just
makes
us,
I
think,
as
board
members,
and
this
is
not
to
you,
mr
morantzy,
but
to
the
universe
out
there
that
might
be
listening,
that
we
anticipate
that
when
a
project
comes
before
us,
that's
the
final,
the
final
project,
the
final
product
and
obviously
this
kind
of
brings
to
mind
that
that
really
doesn't
happen.
That
there's
all
this
tinkering
that
occurred,
that
that
puts
everybody
in
a
mind.
F
Yeah,
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion
to
approve.
I
mean
I,
I
don't
like
the
idea
of
adding
an
additional
penthouse,
but
given
the
fact
that
there's
already
two
structures-
and
this
won't
really
affect
the
view
line
and
the
roof
line-
it'll
just
extend
it.
I
guess,
under
the
circumstances,
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve.

improvement

D
D
AV
AV
Yes,
ma'am
again,
I
think
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
misnomer.
It
is
a
fitness
use,
it's
called
one
more
rep
fitness
and
that's
a
high
end.
The
proposed
tenant
there
is
a
high-end
physical,
personal
training
facility.
It's
not
a
like
a
vanilla
box.
You
know
big
fitness
gym,
it's
more
one-on-one,
personal
training.
So
again,
although
it's
a
health
club
use
under
the
zoning
code
as
a
use
category,
it's
really
more
of
a
personal
training
facility
with
less
than
50
occupants.
So
it's
a
small
scale
gym.
AV
AV
You
know
it
is
highly
accessible
via
buses
and
commuter
rail
and
the
silver
line
is
about
a
half
mile
away,
so
parking
would
be
primarily
utilized
by
employees.
There's
not
a
lot
of
employees
at
these
uses
and
then,
if
there
was
any
additional
parking
needed,
the
idea
would
be
there
would
be
parking
ample
parking
on

BE
Thank
you
everyone
good
afternoon,
madam
chairman
and
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
My
name
is
arwen
gohman
and
I'm
here
to
express
my
objection
to
the
variant
stopped
by
the
owners
of
984th
street.
I
can
see
that
you
guys
have
a
busy
session
so
I'll
I'll.
Try
to
make
myself
brief
here.
We're
longtime
residents
of
jp
we've
lived
at
our
house
since
2008..
Our
house
is
oddly
positioned
because
it's
one
of
the
oldest
in
the
neighborhood.
BE
It
sits
nearly
a
full
story
below
and
only
four
feet
from
the
applicant's
house.
The
fact
that
our
houses
are
so
close
together
and
at
different
elevations
creates
many
undesirable
conditions
at
our
house
with
respect
to
privacy,
light
air
view
and
noise.
We're
very
worried
that
the
applicant's
proposed
plans
will
make
these
problems
worse.
The
applicant
has
a
non-conforming
undersized
lot,
that's
already
overbuilt.
It
offers
nearly
two
thousand
square
feet
of
living
space,
three
floors
a
covered,
porch
and
a
garage
again.
BE
These
structures
are
just
feet
off
the
rear
property
line
at
their
closest
point
and
just
over
four
feet
from
our
house,
which
lacks
rear
setbacks.
You
know
the
zoning
code
requires
reset
backs
for
a
reason,
as
they
afford
important
breathing
space
between
homes.
The
proposed
side
facing
egress
and
porch
would
have
a
view
directly
into
our
bedroom.
It
would
sit,
you
know
just
12
feet
off
the
property
line
or
thereabouts.
BE
A
A
So
I'm
looking
at
this
and
it
looks
like
the
proposed
one
story-
addition
is
just
essentially
squaring
off
the
building:
that's
correct,
okay
and
so
the
bathroom
that's
currently
there
stays
where
it
is,
and
it's
proposed
one
story:
mudroom
edition
is
squaring
off
the
building.
Okay,
thank
you.
Anybody
else
to
speak
on
this
project.
BG

Following
your
next
case,
calling
doa
109-4620-139
thornton
street,
this
is
to
add
living
space
to
the
first
floor
by
extending
space
into
the
basement
area
and
adding
two
bedrooms
about
a
family
room.
The
violations,
article
50,
section,
29,
the
flow
data
ratio
is
excessive
name
and
address
for
the
record.
BA
BH
D
A
AT
BA
BA
BA
F
The
drawing
show
that
it's
seven
foot,
six
in
the
basement,
which
is
what's
required
by
code
if
it's
seven
feet
as
the
applicant
said,
that
would
be
a
problem,
so
I
am
going
by
the
drawings
assuming
they
are
correct
to
the
applicant,
are
and
and
and
much
of
the
basement
is
above
grade.
So
it's
not
one
of
these
typical,
but
they're.
Very
small
little
eyebrow
windows
are,
are
you
putting
in
new
windows
or
just
window
wells.
BA
F
Okay,
yeah,
I
mean
the
drawings,
show,
bigger
windows
on
the
side.
Elevations
show
bigger
windows
than
than
what
the
existing
conditions
show.
So
you
know
not
wonderful,
but
it's
it's
much
better
than
many
of
the
proposals
that
have
come
before
us
and
and
it
it
it
meets
code.
So
I
guess
they're.
Okay,.

the

owner

also
the
architect
on
the
project.
You
can

existing

here
now
17-19
place
said
it's
a
large
lot
of
about
60
700
square
feet.
It's
in
columbia,
seven
hill,
neighborhood
of
dorchester,
just
off
of
seven
hill
ave.
What
you
see
before
you
now
is
the
exterior.
AV
It
is
a
an
existing
two
family
building.
You
can
see
the
two
doors
there
at
the
front
and
each
of
these
two
family
units
has
four
bedrooms.
So
each
of
these
is
a
very
large
four
bedroom
unit
for
eight
total
bedrooms
and
what
we're
proposing
is
to
just
reconfigure
the
interior
existing
space
of
the
two
family
to
turn
it
into
a
three
family
and
add
one
bedroom.
AV
Absolutely
and
if
colette
or
whoever
could
go
down
to
slide
nine
on
our
presentation,
we
have
a
section
in
anticipation
of
this
question.
Here's
one
and
then,
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
you'll
see
an
actual

If

could,
I
believe,
nine
the
floor
here.
You
go
right
here.
Perfect
the
floor

height
is
seven
feet.
Six
inches
the
the
windows
are
approximately
three
feet:
six
inches
from
the
ground,
so
they
are,
they
are
lower.
AV
AV
The
utilities
would
remain
where
they
are,
I
believe
they
would
be
separate.
They
would
be
separately
off
from
this
from
this
living
space
in
the
basement,
and
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
that
this
is
a
duplex,
so
the
entire
unit's
not
in
the
basement.
There
is
living
space
on
the
first
floor.
That
would
be
part
of
this

as
well.

of
this

There
was
a
butters
meeting
held
on

the

did
meet
multiple
times
with
neighbors
in
the
civic

and
he
received
her
support
from

There
are
some
ongoing

both

voted

We
have

have
about
20

just
respond
to

very
briefly,
just

This

we're

Good
evening,
madam
chair,
this
is
travis
lee,
I'm
the
proposed
I'm
the
developer
of
the
project,
the
studios
rain.
The
studios
are
about
400
square
feet
and
the
one
bedrooms
are
up
to
450
square
feet.
This
project
does
fall
within
the
city
of
boston's
compact
living
program
that
has
built
a
policy
around
smaller
units
and
if
it's,
okay
with
you,
I'd
love
to
give
a
very
short
presentation.
A
BP
As
jacob
taylor
just
said,
the
project
does
include
21
studio
units
at
approximately
400
square
feet,
each
eight
one
bedroom
units
approximately
450
square
feet.
Each
four
of
the
29
apartments
will
be
idp
units
required
by
the
city
of
boston
and
restricted
at
70
percent
of
the
area's
median
income
to
those
households.
The
other
25
units-
yes,
ma'am,
go
ahead.
Sorry,
the
other
25
units
will
be
restricted
to
households
earning
at
or
below
90
of
boston's
area.
Immediate
income
to
align
with
the
financing
that
the
project
is
is
is
using
at
mass
housing.
BP
The
project,
as
mentioned,
is
directly
abutting.
The
fields
corner
train
station
has
on-site
bike
storage
and
is
working
on
a
partnership
with
the
blue
bike
program
to
provide
shared
bikes
to
the
community
on
site.
The
amenities
include
some
outdoor
community
space,
indoor
community
space,
laundry
on
each
floor
and
an
elevator
in
the
building
the
ground
floor.
To
be
contextual,
has
1300
squared
of
retail
space
that
fronts
dorchester
avenue.
This
building
is
being.
BP
BQ
BP
This
is
the
ground
floor
of
the
building.
You
can
see.
The
yellow
is
indoor
shared
space
for
the
tenants
of
the
building,
and
the
gray
space
to
the
left
is
outdoor
patio
space
that
would
be
accessible
to
the
tenants
of
the
building
the
far
right
retail
space
from
dorchester
avenue
and
would
be
occupied
by
a
neighborhood
business.
BP
BQ
BP
Here
these
buildings
are
directly
across
the
street.
We
have
hundred-year-old
four-story
buildings
that
are
45
feet
tall.
We
have
newer
four-story
buildings
that
are
directly
across
the
street.
This
building
is
contextual
in
massing.
We
believe
it's
contextual
in
size,
and
it
is
offering
very
much
needed
moderate
income
housing
to
the
community
of
boston
and
dorchester.
F
F
BP
Yes,
sir,
however,
for
the
next
15
years,
all
of
the
units
will
be
restricted
to
a
particular
income
level
and
as
incomes
in
boston
increase,
the
rents
of
the
project
cannot
and
will
not
increase
in
association
with
market
rents.
So,
while
90
of
boston's
area
median
income
now
is,
is
you
know,
nineteen
hundred
dollars
for
say
a
one
bedroom
unit
that
that
rent
rate
will
remain
flat
as
incomes
rise,
so
it
will
become
more
affordable
as
time
goes
on.

which
gives
us

AM
We've
conducted
a
fairly
extensive
review
process,
especially
with
our
direct
and
immediate
abutters
behind
the
property
on
elm
suite.
There
are
three
new
proposals
and
projects
that
are
under
construction
that
have
been
approved
by
this
board
of
nine
units
at
one
and
three
elm
and
five
units
on
seven
nine
elm
that
significantly.
We
believe
that
the
townhouse
style
proposal
is
responsive
to
the
desire
to
have
larger
family
style
units,
there's
a
good
amount
of
open
space
on
the
property
proposal.
A
AM
If
elita
could
chime
in
the
architect
and
explain
the
parking,
many
of
the
parking
garages
front
on
ashland
street
and
then
there's
a
driveway
shown
in
the
site
plan
along
the
side
of
the
building
that
pulls
around
to
the
back
of
the
building
and
some
of
the
units
have
parking
at
the
rear.
So
a
couple
of
garage
doors
on
the
front
which
were
designed
to
take
into
account
the
context
of
the
neighborhood
sort
of
barn
style
garage
doors.

A
BN
Madam
chair
members,
the
board
patrick
fandell,
mayor's
office,
neighborhood
services,
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
As
the
applicant
noted,
this
has
gone
through
a
significant
community
process,
including
multiple
unofficial
abutters
meetings
with
their
neighbors
over
the
course
of
2020,
and
I
believe,
late
2019,
as
well
as
an
official
community
process
through
the
mayor's
office.
They've
also
reached
out
to
the
clinton
point
civic
association
and
been
in
talks
with
them.
BN
They've
worked
extensively
with
neighbors
on
the
parking
situation,
accommodating
green
space
on
site
and
the
design
concerns
and
have
come
to
support
all
the
direct
butters.
Except
one
supports
this
proposal.
I
would
like
to
note
that
there
is
one
abutter
who
opposes
this,
but
generally
speaking,
they've
worked
well
with
their
neighbors,
and
this
is
a
good
proposal.
We'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support.
AM
Mr,
like
yes,
there
are,
there
are
two
component
parts
to
that.
One
is
that
under
article
65,
section
32,
this
property
is
in
a
neighborhood
design,
overlay
district,
which
requires
bpda
design
review
similar
to
the
design
component
of
article
80
small
project
review.
So
if
this
board
were
to
approve
it
and
make
a
proviso
for
design
review,
it
would
be
under
the
rubric
of
the
neighborhood
design
overlay
district
0.1.2,
because
we're
raising
the
existing
structure.
We
have
an
article
85
demolition
delay.
AM
AE
A
AM
F
AM
AM
Structure,
the
90-day
clock
has
not
commenced
because
we
have
not
yet
had
our
hearing.
The
landmarks
commission
will
require
that
the
office
of
neighborhood
services
sponsor
a
separate
meeting
on
that
issue
and
then
following
the
hearing
at
boston
landmarks,
commission,
the
90-day
demolition
delay
period
would
then
commence.
A
A
B
Hi,
this
is
chuck
hampton
from
the
bra.
I
know
that
this
property
is
up
before
the
landmarks
commission
tonight
for
a
public
hearing
for
to
possibly
move
further
in
establishing
as
an
architectural
conservation
district.
So
this
is
completely
separate
from
the
article
80
85
or
86.
I'm
sorry,
so
it
might
be
worth
to
put
it
off
or
at
least
find
out
what
the
landmarks
commission
does
tonight.
A
C
C
BT
So
we
are
currently
proposing
a
keeping
the
existing
building,
as
is
as
currently
a
single
family
and
converting
it
to
a
three
family
and
adding
dormers
on
the
third
floor
to
create
additional
living
space
and
additional
living
space
in
the
basement.
The
first
unit
will
be
a
bi-level
unit
first
fully
in
basement.

Well,
you
know
same
problem
if
you
look
at
a
32
which
is
slide
number
10,
the
last
one,
the
proposed
section.
It
shows
that
the
floor
of
the
basement
is
six
feet
below
grade
so
you're
going
to
have
eyebrow
windows.
You
know
maybe
you'll
have
window
wells,
but
it's
once
again
an
attempt
to
really
have
underground
living
living
space.

Thank
you

Can
I
have
everybody
muted,
please.
So
you
know
we've
seen
a
number
of
basement
units
being
proposed
today
and
this
one
seems
the
most
basementy
of
what
we've
seen
so,
mr
ehrlich,
since
you
are
the
keeper
of
the
plans,
it
appears
that
it
might
just
be
us
just
denying
that
living
space
in
the
basement,
ensuring
that
there
is
no
proposed
living
space
in
the
basement,
allowing
the
change
of
occupancy
from
one
to
three
and
allowing
the
dormers.

Afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
marantzy,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
at
350,
west
broadway
in
south
boston,
I'm
appearing
on
behalf
of
my
colleague,
attorney
patrick
mahoney,
who
could
not
attend
this
meeting
today
to
request
this
deferral.
Madam
chair
members,
this
is
a
third
deferral
request.
I
spoke
with
attorney
mahoney
yesterday.
He
advised
me
that
they
were
prepared
to
go
forward
today
with
revised
plans.
AS
However,
because
the
plans
eliminated
a
dwelling
unit
and
then
eliminated
ground
floor
parking
in
favor
of
commercial
space
which
the
community
wanted.
The
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
asked
attorney
mahoney
to
do
one
more
butters
meeting,
which
I'm
advised
is
scheduled
for
later
this
month.

If,
if
I
may,
on
the
left
side
of
the
property,
the
the
budding
lot
is
a
property
owned
by
the
dnd.
We've
been
talking
with
donald
over
there,
seeing
how
we
can
work
with
the
city
on
creating
the
open
space
on
that
corner
lot.
When
we
had
our
voters
meetings
that
was
kind
of
the
consensus
between
the
neighborhood
and
what
they
wanted
to
see.
A
BT

Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
witness
lesson
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
I
did
hold
in
the
butters
meeting
on
419
toy
street
on
october,
22nd
of
the
community
improvement
neighborhood
association
was
present.
We
did
hear
concerns
about
density,
but,
as
you
heard,
this
deliberation
on
the
rezoning
to
3f.
BV
BW
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
Today
I
have
come
in
opposition
to
this
project
due
to
the
loss
of
mature
trees
and
loss
of
open
space.
I
note
that
this
lot
is
zoned
as
open
space
community
garden.
This
is,
as
the
board
has
already
been
made,
where
it
also
forms
a
continuous
open
space
together
with
the
adjacent
lot
that's
owned
by
the
city
at
the
corner
of
living
territory,
together
with
the
lot
on
whittington
street.
BW
That
I
know
is
owned
by
the
principals
that
are
also
seeking
to
develop
this
bot
and
again,
you
know
against
its
current
zoning
and
against
its
designation
as
open
space,
but
finally
note
that
this
lot
contains
mature
trees
and,
as
the
board
is
truly
aware,
the
loss
of
urban
canopy
due
to
cut
down
mature
trees
cannot
be
adequately
replaced
by
new
tree
plantings.
Nor
did
I
note
the
opportunity
for
any
new
tree
plantings
in
the
drawings
and
and
lot
layout
that
were
presented.
BX
BD
BY
I
think
yeah
I'm
at
14
torrey
street,
which
is
directly
across
from
it.
I
know
myself
and
my
neighbors
within
my
building
at
14
torrey
opposite
for
a
number
of
reasons
already
stayed
in
including
lack
of
loss
of
green
space,
but
we
also
have
concerns
particularly
because
of
the
size
of
the
development
you're
maximizing
on
the
space
and
not
providing
enough
parking,
as
is
we
already
have
parking
concerns
in
our
neighborhood,
and
we
recognize
that
the
loss
of
green
space
could
result
in
a
lot
of
flooding
in
our
street
area.

So
it
was
open
space
because
there
was
an
entity
who
was
running
these
these
gardens
and
these
open
spaces
citywide,
but
it
sounds
like
they
have
done
and
gone
through,
because
I
think
for
the
sale
of
a
nonprofit's
piece
of
property.
It
needs
approval
from
the
ag's
office
that,
in

this

was
legitimate.

Yes,
good
afternoon,
it's
mike
foremost
attorney
with
prince
lebel
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
along
with
ed
roach,
the
architect.
Mr
secretary,
there
was
on
38
and
38
a
there
was
a
rear
yard
setback
violation
just
for
the
record,
if
I
may,
what
we're
proposing
here
is
a
26
thousand.
This
is
an
oversized
lot.
BZ
26
800
square
foot
lot,
where
we're
proposing
significant
community
engagement,
five
structures,
two
one
families
and
three-
the
next
site
plan-
would
be
great
to
go
to
the
next
slide.
That
here
we
go.
This
would
be
a
good
way
to
just
kind
of
explain
it
to
the
board
two
single
families
at
the
front
of
the
site
and
then
three
duplexes
on
the
interior
of
the
site
and
for
a
total
of
eight
units
on
the
site.
So
what
I
have
on
the
next
slide
is
like
the
doubles
are
exactly
the
same.
BZ
BZ
Okay,
yep
there
it's
a
2
100,
roughly
square
foot,
total
with
the
bedrooms,
ranging
from
around
140
to
the
oversized
bedroom.
On
the
top
floor
that
you
actually
see
on
this
screen,
which
is
538
square
feet,
if
you
scroll
down
you'll,
get
a
sense
of
the
elevations
of
these
one
families
that
were,
you
could
scroll
down
to
probably
the
next
slide
that
were
designed
to
fit
in
with
the
architecture
of
the
area.
BZ
There
is
no
basement
living
in
these
one
families,
it's
just
the
three
floors.
There
is
storage,
however,
in
the
basement,
so
that's
the
two
one
families
that
will
front
the
project
density-wise
slightly
over
the
0.5,
far
we're
at
around
0.6
f.a.r.
If
you
go
to
the
maybe
it's
0.64,
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
the
two
family,
the
duplexes.
BZ
So
it's
not
really
a
two
family.
It's
a
duplex
with
one
with
three
bedrooms
on
each
side
of
the
duplex
and
again
they
were
designed
to
try
to
mimic
the
the
architecture
of
the
area.
There's
a
kind
of
a
focused
picture
down
below,
and
those
are
three
three
bedrooms.
Each
and
those
bedrooms
range
from
187
to
250
square
feet
and
there's
an
elevation
on
the
next
slide.
BZ
BZ
These
are
designed
for
home
ownership,
and
the
idea
here
was
to
create
these.
These
single
and
double
families.
We
do
a
but
a2
family,
even
though
we're
in
the
one
f,
6
000
behind
us,
is
there's
a
two
f
six
thousand,
but
we
are
surrounded
by
other
twos
and
threes,
even
in
our
own
one,
one
f,
six
thousand
district.
Maybe
now
is
a
good
time
for
me
to
pause
and
see.
If
there
are
any
questions.
A
A
F
F
The
only
comment
I
would
make
about
detail
is
that
you
have
a
a
very
wide
driveway.
You
know
which,
which
is
attractive.
It's
the
rendering
it's
in
brick,
but
that
means
you
have
a
20-foot
curb
cut,
which
which
ends
up
using
up
a
lot
of
space
that
is
needed
in
the
city
and
I'm
not
sure,
I'm
not
sure
that
you
couldn't
have
a
12-foot
curb
cut,
leading
into
a
wide
driveway
and
accomplish
the
same
goal
so
other
than
that.
The
very
nice
drawings.
BV
BV
We've
received
letters
of
opposition
from
the
river
street
civic
and
the
lower
middle
civic
association.
We
completely
agree
that
the
multiple
subdivision
design
is
out
of
character,
but
we
also
agree
with
the
lower
middle
civic
and
appreciating
their
design
efforts
on
this
project.
Given
our
mission
to
increase
housing
and
homeownership
in
the
city,
we
go
on
the
record
in
support.
Thank
you.

The
property
is
a
single
family
lot.
It
had
a
historic
house
and
a
small
carriage
barn
on
it.
It
was
built
by
the
burgess
family
who
were
significant
roofers
slight
roofers
in
the
lower
mills
area.
A
long
time.
The
inspectional
services
department
issued
building
code
violations
in
january
through
august
2019
to
secure
and
clean
up
the
property
and
close
up
the
openings
of
the
walls
and
the
roof.
BJ
The
article
85
process,
which
the
which
was
notified
to
the
owner
in
january
2019,
was
never
undertaken
in
discussions
with
roseanne
foley
at
boston
landmarks
commission.
She
confirmed
that
none
of
the
article
85
process
had
been
started
by
the
owner
in
january
2019
and
that
no
demolition
permit
had
been
issued.
BJ
A
So
hold
on
can.
Can
I
just
ask
you
a
couple
of
questions,
because
I
you
know
the
the
part
that's
different
about
this
lot?
Is
it's
26
000
square
feet,
so
I
completely
get
it
that
it's
a
one
family
zone
or
a
two
family
zone,
but
that's
for
your
standard,
your
standard
lot
size,
so
I'm
just
trying
to
think
through
what
twenty
six
thousand
square
feet
and
and
what
what
what
what
customizes
and
what
decisions
can
be
made
on
something
that
large.
BJ
BJ
Also
we
have
an
issue
of
temple.
Street
is
a
very
narrow,
one-way
street.
We
do
not
have
any
on-street
parking
available,
also
in
looking
at
the
layout
of
the
parking
it's
piggyback
parking,
so
the
cars
are
going
to
have
to
move
out
of
their
current
spaces,
and
potentially
guests
would
be
on
temple
street,
which
is
basically
it's
an
issue
of
congestion.
Okay,.
A
A
AZ
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
member
of
the
board.
My
name
is
siobhan
lassette,
a
resident
of
30
city
street
and
as
well
as
a
member
of
the
lower
middle
school
association
in
the
river
street
student
association
and
we've
had
many
hearings
on
this
matter.
I
am
surprised
that
the
city
liaison
person
approved
this
when
everybody
all
the
politicians,
everybody
who's
attending.
So
many
of
these
hearings.
AZ
Is
the
safety,
the
density,
the
density?
We
cannot
this
area
here.
We
have
this
more
single
families
on
that
street,
then
there's
more
single
families,
maybe
one
or
two
two
families,
but
a
lot
of
single
families.
This
is
not
the
kind
of
area
to
increase
the
density
of
madam
chair
as
the
my
street
is
one
street
one
or
two
streets
over
and
the
what
we
suggested
to
the
owner
is
to
build
two
single-family
homes
on
that
lot.
Man
ma'am.

Hello
again
ma'am
chair
members
board.
This
is
mike
ross
attorney
with
prince
lebel
on
behalf
of
the
and
by
the
way
happy
new
year
to
everyone
as
well.
The
applicant
is
cheryl
crawford
and
steve
sweta
they're
on
the
phone,
and
we
also
have
dan
linsky
our
security
consultant
and
our
architect
eric
zacherson.
BZ
So
there's
there's
two
pieces
of
relief
here,
there's
the
conditional
use
just
for
the
cannabis
site
and
there's
also
the
buffer
requirement.
This
was
approved
by
the
boston
cannabis
board
with
regard
to
to
both,
even
though
this
is
now
the
zoning
matter,
but
they
did
consider
the
buffer
issue.
The
buffer
issue,
just
to
refresh
everyone's
recollection,
is
that
you're
within
half
a
mile
of
an
existing
dispensary.
BZ
BZ
That's
right
so
within
it
it's
not
half
mile,
so
500
feet
from
here,
accompanied
by
loki,
came
before
this
board.
You
may
remember
at
577b
washington
street,
so
they're
about
500
feet
from
us
and
that's
what
triggers
the
additional
buffer.
So
we
had
to
the
the
the
relief
that
we're
seeking.
So
we
had
to
kind
of
make
a
heightened
case
to
the
boston
cannabis
board,
and
now
we
have
to
make
that
heightened
case
to
you
as
well.
I
was
going
to
just
walk
you
through
really
quickly
this
floor
plan.
BZ
Right
here
is
actually
perfect.
This
is
two
floors
within
an
existing
three
floor:
building
a
three-story
building
that
fronts,
washington
street
washington
street,
being
on
the
left-hand
side,
where
those
bow
windows
are
and
then
two
side
streets,
essentially
flank
both
sides
of
it
rosedale
at
the
top
and
dunlop
at
the
bottom.
I
have
a
site
plan
I'll
show
you
too,
but
this
is
a
good
way
to
just
show
you
how
it
how
it
kind
of
works.
BZ
This
is
an
1800,
approximately
800,
1800
square
foot
that
first
floor,
the
one
on
the
left
and
that's
the
only
area
where
the
public
would
go
and
they
enter
through
the
red
arrow
through
an
accessible
entrance,
and
they
basically
make
them
themselves
around
the
facility
going
clockwise
first
getting
in
through
security,
then
making
their
selection
and
then
fulfillment
and
having
their
ids
checked,
twice:
21
and
older,
older
and
then
leaving
through
a
separate
entrance.
The
basement,
which
is
on
your
right,
will
have
direct
access
of
deliveries
as
well
as
cash
delivery.
BZ

I
had
a
site
plan
here,
mad
chair-
I
I
don't
know
if
it's
attached
to
this,
oh
great
yep.
Here
we
go
it's
just
worth
quickly,
showing
you
the
site
plan.
I
think
it's
on
the
second
page.
There
we
go
perfect.

it
just
to
point
out
that
there
is
parking
to

this
is
also
a
good
way
to
point
out
how
to
access
the
dispensary
the
first
floor
of
the
building.
BZ
You
can
either
enter
through
washington
street,
which
is
on
your
left,
it'll,
be
an
accessible
ramp
to
allow
access
there
or
you
can
see
the
switchback
lamp
a
ramp
on
the
on
the
next
to
the
parking
area
where
there's
room
for
five
cars
and
there'll
be
access
that
way.
This
building
actually
functioned
as
a
believe
it
or
not,
a
nursery
like
a
a
daycare
center
for
several
years.
BZ
BZ
BZ
F
BZ
F
BZ
Yeah
well
because
at
some
point
you're
going
to
need
to
get
52
of
these
in
the
city.
The
way
the
state
law
works
is
it's
20
of
the
number
of
liquor
stores
and
that's
how
in
any
community
in
any
community
that
voted
for
it,
commutes
that
voted
against
it
have
the
right
to
zone
it
out
the
communities
that
voted
for
it,
it's
20
minimum
about
maximum.
BZ
So
at
this
rate
you
know
you
might
get
to
30.
I
don't
and
there's
about
30
right
now
that
are
in
the
pipeline.
I
don't
think
you'll
get
to
to
52,
and
so
there
are
going
to
be
these
cases
that
we
have
to
make
the
case
there
has
to
be
neighborhood
support.
There
has
to
be-
and
we
have
that
here
we
do
have
some
people
who
have
submitted
letters
of
support
or
non-opposition
elected
officials.
What
have
you
think
that
this
is
a
good
case
for
it.
F
A
Can
you
please
mute
for
a
minute?
Thank
you.
The
the
question
is
I'm
gonna
piggyback
on
on
mr
olek
is
that
you
know
we're
creating
issues
with
equity
applicants
competing
against
each
other
in
in
a
way
that
I'm
not
sure,
is
necessarily
healthy,
and
then
we
know
as
a
board
they're
going
to
get
another
case
on
hyde
park,
ave,
which
is
an
equity
applicant
versus
an
honor
equity
applicant.
BZ
In
this
case,
it
was
a
race
to
the
finish
line
for
two
applicants,
who
both
know
each
other
and
both
understood
that
they
were
both
doing
this,
but
they
were
both
in
100
before
kind
of
got
to
this
point,
I
do
agree
that
we
have
to
make
the
case
as
to
why
we
deserve.
In
this
case.
I
do
believe
the
equity
piece
grants
that
if
there
was
another
applicant
that
had
some
other
feature,
we
would
have
to
make
that
case
to
you.
BZ
What
is
the
basis
for
the
for
the
legislation
to
begin
with,
so
it's
not
too
far
off
field
to
suggest
that
there
could
be
nearby
cannabis
not
everywhere,
but
in
some
locations-
and
this
is
a
dense
neighborhood
that
has
been
able
to
support
multiple
locations,
multiple
businesses
of
the
same
type,
and
we
do
believe
that,
given
the
boston,
cannabis
boards,
unanimous
support
and
given
the
support
of
the
elected
leaders
in
the
in
the
community
or
the
non-opposition,
we
do
believe
we've
made
that
case
there.
We
hope
that
you,
you
think
so
too,
though,.
CC
Carol
crawford,
I
am,
I
am
sorry
about
that,
I'm
having
some
challenges.
My
video
may
be
in
some
eye
challenges,
another
story,
but
again
please.
What
is
my
role
in
this?
I
am
the
equity,
I'm
the
one
that
holds
the
equity
status.
I
lived
in
the
community
I
was
raised
in
this
community.
My
current,
I
mean
I've
done
a
lot
of
work
in
this
community,
so
I.
A
A
BH
CC
CC
I
support
this
community
and
have
always
supported
economic
development
in
this
community
and
think
that
this
will
be
a
great
and
a
great
addition
to
this
community,
because
some
of
the
other
services
that
we
hope
to
provide
outside
of
you
know
it's
the
cannabis
industry
in
and
of
itself,
but
it's
the
learning
curve
around
that
the
the
way
that
it's
been
stigmatized
and
to
helping
people
understand
about
about
cannabis
right,
like
the
learning
what
we
plan
to
do
with
it,
the
training
programs.
We
understand
that
there
are
more
equity,
employ
equity
status.
CC
People
like
myself
that
just
don't
know
what
to
do
and
really
wanting
to
do
some
kind
of
trainings
and
just
showing
people
how
to
move
through
the
systems.
This
has
been
a
long.
This
has
been
a
long
time
coming,
we've
been
with
counselor
mike
ross
started
to
say:
we've
been
in
lockstep
with
the
other
organization.
It
was
just
a
matter
of
timing
of
who
got
into
you
know
it's
all
about
timing,
but
we
absolutely
did
our
community
meeting
one
week
after
we
were
one

Greetings,
madam
chairwoman
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
chance:
halima
barboza,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
a
community
process
was
held
for
this
proposal
by
my
predecessor.
We
recognize
that
the
applicant
is
requesting
a
variance
for
the
buffer
zone.
However,
we
believe
that
this
is
a
strong
local
equity
applicant
located
in
a
business
district
and
will
stimulate
economic
development
for
the
neighborhood.
This
application
address
community
concerns
in
regards
to
safety,
security
and
parking.
BU
CD
CD
These
are
some
of
my
concerns
about
the
cannabis
business.
That
is
actually
right.
Next
to
me,
I
don't
know
if
people
assume
that
there
are
two
two
streets
and
there
are
two
houses
that
are
enclosed
within
those
two
streets.
One
is
dunlap
and
the
other
one
is
a
rosedale
in
that
there
are
two
houses.
CD
A
AT
CD
AT
CD
Ahead,
my
concerns
are
basically
security.
I
had
we
had
a
murder
that
took
place
opposite
by
dwelling
on
the
2008
at
a
g
and
d
auto
center.
The
the
building
adjacent
to
me,
which
is
believed
by
texas,
barbecue
and
pizza,
was
spring
with
19
bullets
I
had.
We
have
yet
activity.
That's
taken
place
in
the
neighborhood
we
have.
CD
Q
Hi,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
the
applicant.
The
applicants
are
upstate
citizens.
They
have
deep
ties
to
the
neighborhood
and
additionally,
I
do
appreciate
the
layout
of
the
parking
and
the
entry
and
exit
to
keep
it
belonging
off
of
washington
street.
That's
all
I
have
to
say.

We're
reusing

the

Good
afternoon
chair
lord
jack
duggan,
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
just
like
to
go
on
record
support,
so
the
applicants
completed
a
full
community
process.
We
had
a
budders
meeting
back
in
september
2020.
After
that
meeting
there
are
residential
butters
behind
the
property
to
kind
of
abut
the
parking
lot.
So
there
are
several
letters
of
opposition
just
because
of
the
24-hour
nature
and
the
parking
in
the
back
and
disturbances
and
the
noise
that
could
be
happening.
P
The
applicant
then
went
before
the
neighborhood
council
back
in
october
of
2020.,
so
the
neighborhood
council
supported
their
proposal.
Six,
nothing
to
with
the
stipulation,
though,
that
there's
a
six-month
probationary
period
to
ensure
the
surrounding
residential
neighbors
are
satisfied
with
regard
to
noise
concerns,
and
if
there
are
noise
concerns
during
that
six-month
period,
they
go
back
before
the
neighborhood
council
kind
of
mitigate
those
issues.
So
we'd
like
to
support,
stipulation.

the

Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
committee
members,
I
actually
I
am
the
real
estate
broker
of
perishable
management
services
at
221,
columbus
boulevard
in
boston.
I
received
a
letter
of
support
from
from
the
butter
immediately
next
door.
George
hamzi
h-o-m-s-I
his
letter.
To
summarize
it
is
that
he
believes
that
the
24
7
operation
will
deter
crime.
He
also
thinks
that
it
will
attract
other
businesses
to
downtown
and
that
he
himself
has
experienced
vacancies
as
a
result
of
kovid
and
helps
that
it
will
hopes
that
it
will
benefit
the
community.
CH
BX
CH
Mr
hobson
is
directly
next
door.
He
owns
the
subway
franchise
and
his
father
also
wrote
a
letter
in
support
the
address
of
that
property,
1860
and
1868
yeah
so
specifically
does
oppose
closing
down
the
rear
parking
lot.
He
thinks
that
that
is
short-sighted,
because
many
businesses
in
the
area
do
not
have
their
own
parking
lot
and
rely
on
this.

Thank
you
with
an
address
of
11
street
here
with
me,
is
also
eric,
zacherson
from
context
architects.
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
this
plan
has
changed
and
the
description
has
changed
from
when
we
first
filed
and
the
plans
will
reflect
that.
The
proposal
now
is
to
change
the
occupancy
of
the
existing
three-family
residential
dwelling
to
a
six-family
residential
dwelling.
We
removed
the
basement
unit.
We
do
have
two
bi-level
units
with
an
extension
of
living
space
into
the
lower
level,
which
I
will
go
over
the
plan.
T
Now
is
it
as
it
shows
we
are
not
changing
anything
to
the
context
of
the
footprint
of
the
building
itself.
Everything
will
remain
the
same
in
the
lower
level.
Now
we
are
proposing
a
common
utility
room
entered
by
a
staircase
and
our
two
units.
One
and
two
have
our
lower
levels.
Just
to
point
out
our
sailing
height
existing
is
eight
foot
ten
inches.
T
T
A
T
T
The
current
layouts
of
these
units
are
basically
set
up
with
multiple
bedrooms,
so
it's
a
three
unit,
but
our
bedroom
count
will
not
be
going
up
so
right
now
there
are
ten
bedrooms
in
the
existing
buildings
with
four
four
and
two,
and
now
we
are
proposing
to
keep
only
ten
bedrooms
but
get
rid
of
a
number
of
the
studios
in
these
units
to
make
these
sort
of
better
units.
Right
now
before
we,
my
client
owned
the
building.
A
F
F
This
is
an
attempt
essentially
to
make
take
a
handful
of
apartments
and
double
the
number
by
cutting
them
in
half,
but
it
sounds
like
the
way
the
building
was
getting
was
being
used.
Was
the
rooms
were
being
rented
out,
and
so
maybe
this
is
a
better
solution,
but
certainly
the
debate.
Certainly
the
basement
proposal
that
mr
dragos
is
is
presenting
is
a
far
better
solution
than
what
the
plans
that
I
previewed.
BS
Yes,

chair
members
of
the
board,
connor

this
proposal,
our

conducted
the
photos
meeting
on
august
26th
primary
concerns
were
with
parking
on
the
street
and
what
not
in
existing
conditions
the
applicant
has
since
worked
and
reduced
the
density
so
that
the
bedroom
count
will
remain
the
same.
We've
also
gone
down
from
seven
units
to
six
in
their
proposal.

I
be
honest
with
you,
I
can't
remember
if
there
was
or
wasn't
we
don't
typically
have
a
problem
with
renting
to
grads
it's
more
undergrads.
That
is
the
key
problem
in
our
neighborhood,
and
I
can't
remember
if
that
was
brought
up
at
the
meeting.
I
don't
believe
it
because
it
would
be
in
my
notes
as
a
requisite,
but
we
would
be
comfortable
with
putting
that
in
there
as
that's
something
that
we
do
usually
ask
all
the
time
for
them
not
to
rent
undergrads.

L
Of
michael
ralph,
the
petitioner
for
the
proposal
at
32
orlean
street
also
with
me,
is
nick
landry,
who
is
the
project
architect?
Madam
chair?
This
project
is
located
just
on
the
edge
of
the
jeffries
point,
neighborhood
for
lack
of
a
better
description
or
close
to
maverick
square,
and
it's
actually
looking
at
the
3f
2000
district,
there's
a
pre-existing
three-family
dwelling
on
the
site
and
a
vacant
lot
we're
proposing
to
demolish
the
existing
three-family
dwelling,
replace
that
with
a
new
six
unit
dwelling
with
parking
at
the
grade
level.
L
As
you
can
see
here
from
the
bpda
abstract,
the
lots
are
typical
for
that
side
of
the
street.
It's
actually
located
next
to
a
38-unit
mixed-use
building,
which
stands
at
five
stories
to
the
rear
portion
of
the
property.
If
we
can
sneak
down
to
the
next
slide,
we
can
probably
see
the
context
of
the
neighborhood.
So
here's
the
existing
three
three
family
dwelling
with
the
multi-family
located
immediately
to
the
right
and
go
to
the
next
line.
L
L
Cut
to
the
chase,
let
me
move
to
the
rendering.
Yes,
sorry
about
that.
Madam
chair
a
little
excited
when
I
get
the
opportunity
to
present,
why
don't
we
stop?
Let's
stop
at
that
one
there!
So,
madam
chair,
what
we're
proposing
is
actually
four
studio
units
or
about
620
square
feet,
each
and
two
two
bedroom
units,
approximately
1200
square
feet
and
those
will
be
located
on
levels
four
and
levels.
L
Five
we've
taken
gone
to
great
lengths
through
the
community
process
to
design
this
building
to
fit
and
complement
the
streetscape
along
that
section
of
orleans
street.
One
of
the
other
things
that
we've
done
through
the
community
process
is
ensure
that
the
height
of
our
building
is
actually
lower
than
the
roof
deck
of
the
adjoining
38
unit.
L
Building
to
its
right,
we
do
have
that
direct
debugger,
who
is
an
owner
occupant
of
that
building,
supporting
this
project
based
upon
the
modifications
we've
made,
we
also
agreed
to
do
no
roof
deck
above
the
upper
level
with
respect
to
the
relief
that's
necessary,
because
this
is
a
three
f
district.
We
are
requesting
relief
from
multi-family
use.
L
We
do
meet
the
requirements
for
minimum
lot
size
of
2076
square
feet
and
the
minimum
lot
frontage.
We
have
37.75
feet.
We
do
require
relief
on
the
side
yard,
but
there
was
already
an
existing
non-conforming
condition
on
the
left
side.
We
are
maintaining
that,
but
providing
a
two
and
a
half
foot
setback
on
the
right
side.
L
The
rear
yard
for
this
particular
lot
under
the
exceptions
to
article
53,
would
only
be
a
10-foot
requirement
because
of
the
shallow
lot
nature,
the
existing
condition
is
already
non-conforming
and
we
are
proposing
a
seven
and
a
half
foot
setback.
The
height
of
this
building
is
above
the
three-story
35-foot
limit.
We
do
propose
this
at
five
stories.
L
However,
as
I
mentioned,
the
design
of
this
building
is
intended
to
complement
what
presently
exists
on
our
lean
street
and
also
takes
advantage
of
the
slope
from
the
corner
of
sumner
as
it
down
towards
the
waterfront.
So
we
do
have
a
total
of
49.5
feet
but
again
staying
below
the
roof
deck
of
the
adjoining
building
to
the
right.
L
L
Sure
so
we
are,
we
are
showing
a
total
of
four
parking
spaces.
They
would
be
tandem
in
nature,
since
they
would
not
you'd
not
be
able
to
provide
a
different
arrangement,
especially
with
the
entrance
where
we've
located
it,
and
that
was
something
that
was
raised
during
the
community
process.
There
was
no
specific
objection
to
having
the
current
cut
arrangement
in
this
manner
more
so
because
of
the
fact
that
there
is
no
parking
on
this
side
of
orlean
street,
but
I
certainly
understand
the
concern
over
the
pedestrian
experience
along
that
section
of
orleans.

voted
against
this
project
with
a
vote
of
14
in
favor
and
20
opposed.
CL
Among
the
reasons
that
was
cited
by
residents
opposing
the
project
are
the
planned
height
of
violating
the
current
zoning
code.
Several
residents
in
the
abutter
radius
object
to
the
extra
height
of
the
building,
and
also
that
the
planned
building
adds
substantial
density
without
adding
adequate
parking
spaces.

Thank
you
again,
madam

members
of

on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
bobby
jerezymetas.
Also
with
me,
is
derek
rubinoff,
the
architect
of
this
project.
I
will
provide
the
abbreviated
version.
Madam
chair.
This
project
is
in
the
jeffries
points
section
of
east
boston.
It's
a
pre-existing
residential
and
commercial
use
at
the
lower
level.
Our
proposal
would
change
the
occupancy
of
the
building
to
a
three-family
dwelling,
which
is
an
allowed
conforming
use
in
the
district.
L
L
However,
with
respect
to
the
vertical
addition
that
we're
proposing,
we
do
require
side
yard
relief
to
the
extent
that
we're
not
not
more
than
two
and
a
half
feet
from
the
property
line.
With
respect
to
the
other
violations,
we
were
cited
for
height,
but
I
would
point
out
that
the
total
height
of
the
building
upon
the
completion
would
be
31
feet.
9
inches,
we
do
propose
a
roof
deck
that
roof
deck
is
not
accessed
by
a
head
house,
there's
only
a
hatch
to
access
the
roof
deck.
D
F
Well,
this
is
again
a
top
topography
change
front
to
back
so
and
in
the
in
the
front
the
basement
is
mostly
below
grade
and
in
the
back
it's
it's
walk
out.
Mr
lindsey.
The
building
abuts,
the
neighborhood,
the
neighboring
building
to
the
right,
but
there's
a
little
space
on
the
left.
Is
that
correct?
That's
correct?
Okay!
So
that's
the
other
concern
which
is
just
in
terms
so
there's
no
windows
on
the
right
side,
because
you're
butting
up
against
another
building
and
on
the
left
side
in
the
basement.
F
AO
That's
derek
rubinoff:
here
we
would
be
providing
three
windows
into
the
the
bedroom
that
is
proposing
the
basement
closer
to
the
front
and
we
would
provide
a
a
window
into
the
bathroom.
Furthermore,
the
amount
of
area
of
those
windows
would
be
double
what
is
required
by
the
sanitation
code.
We
have
22.
A
Square
feet
of
windows,
please
derek
and
and
richie
just
make
sure
we
stop
seeing
these
these.
These
ridiculous
basement
extensions.
Okay,
it's
you
know.
We've
had
a
long
day
and
we've
seen
just
so
many
of
these
today
that
really
try
to
shoehorn
living
space
into
space
that
just
I
don't
know
how
it's
going
to
work.
I
mean
that
front
master
bedroom.
AO
Yeah
it'll
get
it'll
get
mostly
ambient
light
coming
through
through
the
the
side
yard
there.
So
the
the
one
in
the
back,
though,
has
a
direct
large
sliding
window
door.
Excuse
me
going
out
to
the
back
and
if
we
look
at
the
rear
elevation
you'll
see
that
there's
plenty
of
light
and
plenty
of
view
into
that
back
back
bedroom.
That
back
bedroom
is
good
yeah.
We
go
to
that
right.

CM
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
daniel,
toscano
attorney
at
large
right
going
to
located
at
11
bacon
street
in
boston.
The
co-counsel
is
on
this
matt
echo.
We
represent
george
korres
who's,
the
owner
of
the
property
and
also
on
the
line
is
isaac
smith,
who's,
the
architect
of
this
property.
We
are
seeking
to
change
the
occupancy
from
what's
existing
or
currently
a
rectory
to
a
six-family
residential
dwelling,
not
a
one-story
edition.
This
is
knot
benefit.
CM
As
you
can
see,
this
is
a
view
going
towards
hannibal
street.
This
is
a
multi-family
residential
sub
district.
So,
when
you're
looking
down
they're
changing
the
use
from
directory
to
the
residential
units,
it's
an
allowable
use.
Looking
at
this
particular
slide,
you
can
see
it.
We
are
the
one
story
edition
we
are
going
to
be
still
lower
than
the
building.
That's
to
the
right
of
us,
which
is
owned
by
the
roman
catholic
church,
and
you
see
st
leonard
church.
That's
behind
us!
CM
That's
also
much
higher
than
the
55
feet,
and
the
building
to
the
right
is
over
60
feet
in
the
building
across
the
street.
Is
the
former
columbus
high
school,
which
has
been
changed
to
condominiums
many
years
ago
and
they've
they've
done
an
addition,
that's
higher
than
the
55
feet
as
well,
going
through
our
floor
plan,
madam
chair,
we
have
one
on
unit
1a,
which
is
on
the
ground
level.
That's
a
one
bedroom
one
bath
unit,
that's
667
square
feet
of
living
space
on
the
other
side
of
the
property
is
unit
unit
1b.
CM
That's
a
two
bedroom
two
and
a
half
bath
duplex.
The
bedrooms
are
gonna,
be
on
the
ground
level.
You'll
have
two
bedrooms
and
two
baths
as
you're,
seeing
on
the
right
side
of
that
screen
and
down
into
the
lower
level,
which
is
an
existing
living
space
already,
which
was
already
used
by
directory
as
a
kitchen
and
living
space.
We
are
going
to
renovate
that
area
and
continue
to
keep
it
as
a
kitchen
living
space.
CM
Sure
so
the
one
bedroom,
as
I
just
described,
it's
one
bedroom
one
bath,
that's
667
square
feet.
We
have
two
three
two
bedrooms,
two
baths
that
range
over
1200
square
feet,
1280
up
to
3
130
and
we
have
two
identical:
three-bedroom
two-bat
units
on
the
second
and
third
level
that
are
at
1580
square
feet
of
space.
CM
So
unit
1b
is
going
to
be
a
duplex
unit
which
will
be
the
ground
level
which
will
have
the
bedrooms
two
bedrooms
in
the
two
bath
and
that
will
go
into
the
existing
lower
space,
which
is
which
will
be
renovated.
It's
already
existing
kitchen
and
living
space
that
was
used
by
the
rectory
and
we're
going
to
renovate
it
and
keep
it
a
kitchen
and
living
space.
Sale
in
height
is
nine
feet,
six
inches
and
there
are
two
means
of
egress
about
down
in
that
lower
level.

Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
john
romano
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
This
project
has
gone
through
an
extensive
community
process
in
a
design
review
and
a
redesign
due
to
feedback
from
the
community.
After
such
time,
we
still
received
letters
in
opposition,
as
well
as
the
neighborhood
council
voting
against
the
project
and
the
residents
association
resubmitting
their
opposition.
CN
In
contrast
to
this,
we
have
received
a
significant
number
of
support
letters,
including
one
from
the
principal
franciscan
friars,
who
oversee
and
manages
the
church,
as
you
just
mentioned,
mr
ehrlich,
and
who
directly
about
the
property
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
and
support
this
project.
Thank

to
the
meetings
that
came
to
the
meetings,
they're
opposed
to
the
one
story
edition
that
we're
proposing
we've
made
numerous
changes
to
other
suggestions
that
they've
made,
and
I
believe
that
the
changes
we've
made
are
adequate
and
they're
not
negative.
They
will
not
create
any
negative
impacts
to
the
neighborhood,
so
I
will
move
forward
we'll
continue
to
work
with
the
neighbors
who
conducted
a
shadow
study
at
their
request.
We've
conducted
some
line-of-sight
some
photos
for
their
based
on
their
requests,
so
we've
done
a
lot
and
we've
made
numerous
changes.
CM

I
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
that
what
we
hear
about
is
the
project,
because
this
is
looking
for
relief
for
certain
actions
from
the
zoning
code.
We
are
not
at
all
saying
that
this
is
a
use,
we're
not
putting
a
value
judgment
on
the
use.
We
know
it's
the
needed
use,
but
we
do
need
to
understand
how
this
project
will
work
in
the
context
of
the
community.
A
A
Is
the
conditional
use
in
this
district?
Yes,
okay!
So
let's
start
off
with
the
applicant
and
I
am
going
to
limit
comments.
I
know
we've
received
a
lot
of
comments
on
both
sides
written
comments,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
this
manageable
and
completely
focused
on
the
land
use
implications.
A
So,
and
I
will
also
work
to
limit
testimony,
I
will
hear
from
elected
officials,
and
I
will
hear
from
three
people
to
speak
in
support
and
three
in
opposition.
So
please
and
please
make
sure
that
you
do
not
send
any
notes.
Privately.
Everything
needs
to
be
to
all
panelists
to
be
on
the
record.
Okay,
miss
thomas,
mr
ambassador,.
A
X
X
X
A
X
I
don't
have
all
the
information
on
that,
but
I
can
ask
stacy,
if
she's
interested
to
speak
to
that,
but
outside
activities
would
be
more
working
for
the
community
to
do
any
type
of
community
projects
beautification
projects.
That
would
be
the
extent
of
those
activities,
and
that
would
be
more
on
a
walking
basis.
A
A
A
X
I'm
sorry,
madam
chair,
I
stepped
in
I
stepped
in
earlier,
because
I
did
not
hear
our
representative
at
the
time
when
jessica
was
looking
for
a
representative,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
it
gets
deferred
to
the
right
person.
Who's
representing
the
client
and
her
name
is
carol
and
she
has
her
hand
up
so
jessica.
I'm
gonna
mute
myself
and.
AT
X
Z
A
So
I
was
asking
because
generally
when
we
see
facilities
like
this,
we
need
to
know
that
it's
it's
run
by
somebody
who
is.
You
know
somebody
like,
for
example,
and
as
I
was
saying
before,
something
like
pine
street
inn
that
has
a
niche
that
has
the
insurance
that
has
all
the
associate
staff
support
in
place
to
make
this
a
functional
program.
Z

AJ
Happy
new
year,
thank
you
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
be
here
so,
madame
chia,
we
run
our
office
out
of
100
warren
street
100
hour.
Warranty
street
in
partnership
with
families
for
justice
is
healing.
I've
also
worked
in
the
return
of
citizens
office
through
the
mayor's
office
under
new
beginners
reentry
services.
I've
been
doing
this
work
extensively
with
victory
programs
and
gavin
foundation.
A
AJ
So
we
we
have
gavin
foundation
is
on
standby.
We
do
a
lot
of
work
and
redirect
our
women
that
possibly
rehabs
and
bring
them
into
detox
and
redirect
them
back
into
the
program.
If
this
is
a
consistent
issue,
then
they
become
discharged
from
the
program
and
hope
that
they
can
get
back
into
treatment
and
get
back
on
their
feet.
We
also
have
families
for
justices
here,
and
it
is
a
community
support
service
that
goes
all
the
way
out
and
and
will
drive
women
to
these
different
facilities,
if
necessary.
A
Z
Madam
chair,
the
the
residents
are
not
permitted
to
have
cars,
so
it's
really
a
question
of
three
three
parking
spaces
during
the
day
for
the
three
daytime
staff
members
and
one
parking
space
at
night.
There's
it
there's
enough
parking
on
street
plus
gaston
street
is
situated
between
warren
and
blue
hill
ave
and
there
is
ample
on-street
parking
in
both
of
those
places.
A
A
H
Z
Z
H
Z
Z
Yes,
so
the
visits
are
limited
to
saturday
and
sunday,
only
in
two
four
hour
blocks,
either
between
the
hours
of
one
and
five
or
two
and
six.
They
must
be
approved
in
advance
and
they
have
to,
and
they
will
be
limited
to
two
adults
and
children
again
through
the
pre-approval
process.
We
hope
to
be
able
where
we
absolutely
will
be
able
to
control
traffic.
We
think
some
of
these
people
will
be
arriving
by
public
transportation,
but
again
we
can
certainly
direct
people
to
blue
hill
for
parking.
A
One
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
be
concerned
of
is
about
your
citing
decision,
because
one
of
the
things
that
we
understand
is
sometimes
certain
neighborhoods
have
an
over
abundance
of
of
treatment.
Centers
and
things
like
that.
So
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
how
you
came
up
with
the
exciting
decision
for
this.
Z
Z
There
are
publicly
available
statistics
that
demonstrate
the
disproportion
disproportionate
impact
that
incarceration
has
on
boston's,
low-income
residents,
it's
residents
of
color
and
we're
trying
to
put
these
we're
trying
to
cite
this
location
in
a
neighborhood,
so
that
when
the
women
are
released,
they're
coming
back
home
and
they
are
reintegrating
themselves
into
this
community,
I
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
to
stacey
if
she
has
anything.
No,
no.

support
from

We
received
support
from

We
also
received
roughly
55
signatures

support
from

we
did
hear
opposition
from
director

believe
the
row
quality
area
is
being
inundated
with
re-entry

that
are
creating
a
negative

We

Hello
hi,
madam

and
the
board
of
members.
Thank
you,
my

I
are
opposed
to
this
arm
project.
What's
your
best
place,

we
reside
at

which
is
directly
across
from
36th
destin

We
are
opposed
to
this
project.
AT
The
main
issues
is
the
density,
their
amount
of
residents
that
they're
proposing
for
a
five
bedroom
single-family
home
is
it's
it's
a
lot
and
there's
no
robot
robust
pelvic
plant
in
place
that
was
addressed.
In
addition,
there's
no
parking
at
all
on
that
facility
when
they
had
the
open
house,
our
parking
spaces
were
taken
and
miss

does
propose
a

Hi,
my

melissa

I
live
at

otisville

runs

into

I
am
in
full
support

I
think
she
has
addressed
every
issue
regarding
the
the
treatment
that
will
be
held.
Their
parking
will
never
be
an
issue
blue

have
in
otisfield
and
gaston
there's
always
parking.
We
had
a
church
that
was
on
that's
on
our
street
that
used
to
fill
up
our
street
and
there
was
still
parking
on
blue
hill
ave.
So
I
don't
think
that's
an
issue.
CI
Michael
close,
the
project
right,
my
office
at
320
blue
avenue
around
the
corner
from
the
spot.
Many
neighbors
have
expressed
concerns
about
the
left,
the
parking
problems
that
was
caused
by
their
event,
their
driveways
were
blocked
and
they
did
not
get
cooperation
and
getting
that
address.
16
people
in
that
single
family
house
there's
too
many
people,
given
the
spot
that
they're
in
so
those
are
some
of
the
concerns
that
people
neighbors
have
raised.
Z
Madam
chair,
may
I
just
interrupt
for
one
minute.
I
need
to
clarify
something
for
the
record
on
on
the
issue
of
density,
I'm
in
the
interest
of
trying
to
work
in
good
faith
with
the
neighborhood
group.
This
morning
we
agreed
to
reduce
the
initial
number
of
residents
in
the
house
to
10
for
the
first
year
and
then
the
15
would
then
we
would
ramp
up
to
15
in
the
years
thereafter,
but
in
that
first
year
we
would.
Z
A
X
X
A
BG
It's
a
heartbreak,
but
we
do
not
support
this
variance
at
this
time
and
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
program.
But
the
change
of
zoning
to
a
transitional
conditional
use
is
a
major
step
for
that
residential
neighborhood
and
if
you
grant
all
the
relief
right
now,
the
list
of
issues
that
we've
raised,
we
have
less
of
confidence
of
gaining
any
negotiated
settlement
to
those
and
so
humanitarian
aside.
BG
So
as
far
as
parking,
it
is
an
issue,
but
it's
also
the
fact
that
there's
we're
in
a
time
when
we
need
to
know
the
management,
the
covet,
the
density
and
yes,
there
are
eight
or
nine
transitional
housing
type
of
entities
around
there
in
a
in
a
walking
distance,
and
it's
not
because
of
the
need.
It's
because
the
large
houses
are
being
snapped
up
so
we're
over
concentrated
in
that
those
sites
get
variances
at
the
drop
of
a
hat,
and
the
neighbors
need
real
leverage
to
negotiate
what
happens
in
the
community.

Again
for

boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
of
online
capital,
also
with
me,
is
eric
zacherson.
Who
is
the
project
architect
in
the
interest
of
time?
I
want
to
ask
that
miss
folen
jumped
to
slide
number
seven,
which
shows
the
rendering
of
the
proposed
project
in
context,
while
she's
doing
that.
Madam
cheer,
the
this
project
is
located
in.
Let's
check
with
that
slide
right
there.
L
It
is
certainly
one
of
the
most
flexible
zoning
districts
in
the
neighborhood,
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
are
electing
to
proceed
to
go
forward
is
this
project
is
essentially
as
of
right
use
that
conforms
with
all
the
dimensional
requirements
in
article
53,
with
the
exception.
Only
of
far
the
parking
violation
that
is
cited
is
based
upon
the
fact
that
the
calculation
at
four
units
comes
out
to
4.5
parking
spaces.
L
We
do
provide
four
spaces,
which
is
one
space
per
unit,
and,
as
I
indicated
this,
the
result
of
this
project
is
the
result
of
about
a
year
and
a
half
worth
of
conversation
with
the
neighborhood
and
multiple
modifications
to
address
specific
concerns,
not
the
least
of
which
was
the
height
of
the
building,
which
is
now
below
35
feet.
The
number
of
units
which
originally
started
out
as
nine
is
now
down
to
four
and
the
number
of
parking
spaces
ratio
which
is
at
one
to
one.
L
As
I
said,
each
of
the
requirements
relative
to
setback
have
all
been
met
and
I'll
walk
through
those
briefly,
the
unit
sizes
and
again
this
is
in
response
to
what
we
typically
hear
in
the
neighborhood,
a
very
generous
two
and
three
bedroom
unit
sizes.
With
the
two
bedrooms
at
around
920
square
feet
and
the
three
three-bedroom
as
large
as
1220
square
feet.
L
We
felt
that
that
was
an
important
component
for
a
residential
neighborhood
such
as
this
based
upon
comments
that
were
heard,
and
that
is
the
reason
why
the
fdr
is
excessive.
With
respect
to
the
quarter
enhancement
district,
madam
chair,
the
there
is
no
minimum
lot
size.
However,
we
do
have
three
thousand
square
feet,
which
is
more
insufficient
under
the
code.
Our
lot
width
is
at
50
feet
and
we
do
have
setbacks
on
each
side
of
this
property
at
3.5.
L
L
A
W
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
lena
tramelli,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
director
of
support.
The
office
of
neighborhood
services
received
their
support
position
from
avarice
there,
based
on
fdr,
excessive
density
and
lack
of
parking
on
a
dead
end
street.
But,
however,
this
is
a
transit,
accessible
development
located
right
next
to
wood
island
station.
