From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearings 10-4-22
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.

You
Mr
lafath
regarding
six
to
eight
and
awesome
streets.
The
board
originally
granted
its
relief
on
November
4th
of
2016..
Soon
after
someone
appealed
the
decision
to
the
superior
court
and
the
activist
dismissed
on
July
23rd
of
2018
withholding
that
relief
expired
on
October
28
2021.
However,
the
outlet
can
received
two
unnecessary
extensions
that
extended
this
relief
until
July
23rd
of
2022.
The
applicant
has
continued
to
pursue
his
permit
at
isd's.
He
questions
as
they
receive
another
extension
from
the
board
because
of
the
administrative
issue,
with
the
permit
application.
D
Although
the
relief
has
technically
expired,
its
request
is
the
OWN
is
only
for
the
applicant
first
necessary
extension
when
towing
is
considered.
Therefore,
I
recommend
that
the
board
grants
its
extension
if
it
determines
that
appropriate
under
the
circumstances,
with
an
effective
date
of
October
4
2022
until
October
4th.
K

The
board
of
regional
Francis,
this
relief
on
May
17th
of
2011..
Soon
after
someone
had
failed,
this
decision,
Superior
Court
in
the
matter,
was
dismissed
in
2016..
The
board
has
since
granted
four
extensions
of
release.
However,
the
last
two
extensions
were
unnecessary
with
tolling
the
second
extension
until
October
16
2020
remained
Dallas
until
January
21st
of
2022.,
the
most
recent
fourth
of
unnecessary
extension
extended
to
release
until
October
16th
of
2022..
The
applicant
is
now
seeking
a
further
extension
of
relief
until

W
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
members,
the
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago
at
dragoscana,
with
the
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
Jane
Reese
and
the
owner
of
the
property
at
45,
souley
Street,
we're
proposing
two
in
one
application
to
erect
a
roof
deck
140
square
feet
on
top
of
the
building
and
on
the
second
application,
for
a
use
of
premise
to
create
a
curb
cut
for
one
parking
space
just
to
point
out
to
the
board.
W
This
curb
cut
would
be
accessed
on
Monument
court
and
that's
a
picture
of
it
right
there.
There
is
no
parking
on
that
side
of
the
street,
so
we're
not
losing
any
existing
street
parking
for
this
one
spot
the
as
was
mentioned,
this
has
become
a
one
family
building.
It
was
previously
a
two.
This
is
a
3F
2000
District
and
the
just
to
go
over
the
the
roof,
as
was
mentioned
as
140
square
feet,
it's
accessed
by
a
spiral
staircase
and
the
parking
space
is
eight
and
a
half
by
20
and
the
rare.
W
W
I
can
just
go
over
the
violations
that
were
read,
one
is
roof
structure
restriction
and
it's
due
to
the
roof
deck,
and
you
can
see
in
this
picture
it's
accessed
through
the
back
second
floor
through
a
spiral
staircase
and
a
second
deck
limitation
of
area
accessory
use.
That
is
for
the
parking.
It
is
just
five
feet
off
of
the
property
line
within
five
feet
of
the
side
buffer
line
and
then
off
Street
design
and
maneuverability.
It
mentions
the
utility
pole.
W
It
is
actually
a
city
street
light,
one
of
the
gas
lamps
we
met
with
the
street
light
Division.
If
we
were
to
be
approved
by
the
board,
they
said
they
would
work
with
us
at
our
expense
to
move
to
shift
the
pole
slightly
a
few
feet
to
the
right
or
to
the
left
at
their
discretion
and
then
open
space,
350
square
feet
is
required
and
we
are
proposing
316
square
feet,
and
that
is
with
the
addition
of
our
decks.
W
A
A
couple
of
questions,
Mr
gregos-
this
is
in
a
neighborhood
overlay
district-
is
that
correct.
A
W
A
So
so
you're
actually
building
two
decks,
one
one
below
spiral:
staircase
going
up
to
the
roof
and
the
roof
there
you're
correct,
okay,
but
there's
no
violation
on
the
lower
level
right.
All.
D
Right
correct,
it
is
in
the
neighborhood
design,
overlay
District.
A
O
A
Well,
I
I
would
I
understand
that
I
was
just
trying
to
clarify
okay
so
and
then
the
SEC.
So
there's
two
separate
things
so,
and
the
second
thing
is
from
the
rear
from
the
court.
Is
this
parking
and
talking
about
a
10-foot
curb
cut
and
a
10
foot
wide
parking
area?
Is
that
right.
W
Yes,
it's
a
it's
a
full
parking
space
which
you
can
see
here,
Mr
chair
and
it
was
an
additional
room
in
the
front
of
the
eight
and
a
half
by
20
and
there's
additional
space
in
the
rear.
Just
for
a
little
extra.
A
Okay
Miss:
how
are
the
drawings.
G
C
We
recommended
approval
with
design
review
on
the
roof
deck
because
it's
in
an
ndod
we'd
like
to
defer
to
BTD
for
the
curb
cut
in
the
parking
space
out
back.
Yes,.
A
A
P
X
Q
Z
Yes,
Mr
chair
members
of
the
poet
Bob
to
make
a
BTD
it's
in
the
rear,
so
I
have
no
problem
with
this
design
motion
to
approve
from
BTD,
okay.
AA
AA
A
You
Mr
Newman.
Are
you
aware
of
the
street
light
issue.
AA
Yes,
we
did
see
that
in
the
description
there,
as
I
said
before,
we're
not
aware
of
any
concerns.
Let's
reach
out
to
our
office
recently
with
blood
is
going
to
continue.
Okay,.
A
L
AB
L
AC
Am
an
opposition
I
I
just
heard
a
comment
that
someone
said
it's
in
the
rear.
So
it's
no
problem,
please.
Let
me
point
out
to
you
that
in
the
rear
means
Monument
Court.
This
is
a
small
dead-end
Street.
There
are
three
houses
on
this
street
and
it
is
a
huge
problem
for
us.
We
have
a
problem
as
it
is
here.
We
have
seven
cars
in
those
three
houses
and
we
can
never
get
a
spot
on
the
street.
AC
Those
of
us
who
live
here
we
have
older
women
who
are
lugging
bundles
from
you
know,
remote
locations
and
the
reason
we
can't
is
primarily
due
to
slowly
strength,
because
solar
Street
has
been
converted.
A
lot
of
the
houses
from
39
to
51
have
been
converted
to
tenancies.
They
now
have
absentee
owners
and
the
absentee
owners
don't
seem
to
care
about
the
conditions
here
which
are
terrible
from
these
locations.
It's
one
particular
one
is
absurd.
By
10
foot
minimum
space
I
saw
the
drawing.
AC
There
is
absolutely
no
radius
there
for
turning
around
and
I
heard
that
there's
no
problem
because
there's
no
parking
on
that
side
of
the
street.
Well,
it's
a
very
small
Street,
so
there
is
a
problem
because,
given
that
we
only
have
10
spaces
on
the
entire
street,
with
seven
cars
coming
from
other
places
to
park
here,
okay.
A
A
Y
No
I
mean
you
have
you
can
do
an
internal
stare
going
off
from
the
stair
case
on
the
plant?
I
mean
this.
Would
this
would
allow
for
controlling
of
noise
and
sound
from
the
exterior,
and
there
could
be
direct
assets
internally?.
A
Okay,
so
so,
and
can
we
also
add
a
third
Proviso
that
the
BTD
review
the
once
again
review
the
the
parking
spot,
all
right,
Mr
and
Jerry
you
made
the
motion.
Will
you
accept
those
amendments.
A
AE
A
Dawn,
yes,
Mr
Robinson,
yes,
Mr
Ruggiero,
yes,
I
am
two
in
favor,
so
Mr
Hampton.
Can
you
please
you
know,
look
to
see
whether
what
is
proposing
is
is
feasible.
When
you
do,
your
design
review
will
do.
Okay,.
B
D
AF
Directly
reporting
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
George
moranti
I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address,
350
West
Broadway
in
South,
Boston
Mr,
chair
members.
This
is
an
application
for
a
new
six-story
building
which
would
contain
a
two-story
restaurant
and
four
dwelling
units
above
at
12-12a
Hudson
Street
in
Chinatown.
This
is
located
within
the
historic
Chinatown
protection
area
as
a
zoning
sub-district
under
article
43..
AF
The
plans
that
are
before
the
board
today
have
been
updated
since
the
permanent
application
was
initially
filed
and
the
original
zoning
refusal
letter
was
issued.
The
original
proposal
called
for
a
few
restaurants
in
four
residential
units,
above
including
restaurant
space
in
the
basement
that
has
been
changed
so
that
the
proposed
use
now
is
a
bi-level
restaurant.
On
the
ground
floor
and
the
second
floor.
That
restaurant
would
be
a
total
of
approximately
2
200
square
feet.
The
basement
would
be
entirely
unoccupied
space.
It
would
serve
the
restaurant.
AF
It
would
contain
a
common
mechanical
and
sprinkler
room,
a
common
stairway,
and
there
is
about
five
feet
of
head
height
in
a
portion
of
the
basement.
That
would
allow
for
storage
and
trash
storage
for
the
restaurant.
The
units
above
are
all
very
simple.
There
are
four
one
bedroom
floor
through
units
of
approximately
686
square
feet.
The
Zoe
refusal
letter
cited
g-cod
applicability,
I
decided
a
violation
for
excessive
floor
area
ratio.
That
violation
was
eliminated
with
the
revised
plan
and
a
violation
for
insufficient
off-street
parking.
AF
The
only
zoning
relief
being
sought
is
for
insufficient
off-street
parking,
as
we
are,
of
course
complying
with
groundwater
conservation
overlay,
District
requirements
with
that
I'll
take
any
questions
that
members
may
have
and
I
believe.
After
that,
the
board
could
hear
from
Mr
siminelli
on
the
gcod
matter.
A
A
It
as
well
okay,
thank
you
all
right
now,
let's
go
to
the
merits
of
the
case,
so
Mr
Morenci,
there's
Now
One
Restaurant.
The
basement
is
simply
being
used
as
a
storage
and
mechanical
rooms
for
all
the
utilities
for
the
entire
building
will
be
located
in
the
in
the
basement.
AF
That's
correct:
it
would
comply
with
Coastal
flood
resiliency
requirements
as
the
as
the
area
of
the
base
flood
elevation
of
the
19
feet,
so
it
was
important
to
eliminate
any
occupyable
space
in
the
basement.
The
groundwater
recharge
system,
of
course,
would
be
located
there.
Okay.
A
That
that
was
well
you,
you
anticipated
my
my
next
question.
So
all
right
well,
and
it
seems-
are
these
units,
rental
or
condo.
W
And
for
the
record?
Because
they.
AF
Came
up
come
up
in
public
testimony.
My
questions
were
posed
to
my
clients
that
they
would
agree
that
these
units
would
not
be
used
for
short-term
Airbnb
style
rentals.
My
clients
agreed
to
that,
and
it
was
also
requested
that
my
clients
agree,
but
this
will
not
be
the
future
site
of
a
billboard,
including
electronic
billboard,
and
my
clients
went
on
the

with
the
Chinatown
residents
Associated
Association
and
a
agreed
agreed
to
that
as
well.
A
Okay,
all
right
and
when
six
units
I
mean
I'm,
sorry,
four
units
I
assume
they
are
all
market
rate.
AF
Yes,
these
are
poor
market
rate
units
and
again
the
sold
Zoe
violations
off
street
parking
is
simply
no
opportunity
to
provide
parking
here.
Okay,.
A
All
right
Miss
better!
For
us,
how
are
the
drawings.
Y
AF
A
Any
questions
on
the
board:
Mr
Hampton,
the
bpda
raised
issues
about
rear
egress
and
a
rear,
stairwell
yeah.
A
All
right
is
there.
Anyone
here
I
would
like
to
testify,
on
behalf
or
in
opposition
to
this
project.
T
Good
afternoon
Mr,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Julian,
Juan
bear
mayor's
office
in
Maywood,
Services
and
and
our
Butter's
meeting
was
held
by
our
office
on
75
July
5th,
and
the
applicant
has
submitted
very
large
support.
D
Q
AI
A
Just
out
of
curiosity,
what
are
the
hours
and
closed
hours
of
the
restaurant.
AF
Honestly,
Mr
chairman
I,
don't
know
only
because
I'm
doing
the
zoning
I
I
will
not
be
doing
the
licensing
work
for
it,
so
that
would
be
a
proper
subject
in
the
licensing
board.
So
I'm,
sorry,
I
just
don't
know.
Okay.
A
All
right
well
from
his
own
perspective.
That's
that's
not
an
issue.
So
all
right
can
I
have
a
motion.
Please.

Partnership

D
J
These
projects
are
part
of
the
Department
of
neighborhood
developments,
Waverly
homes
initiative,
so
they're,
taking
over
four
empty
lots
that
are
owned
by
the
city
and
putting
new,
basically
single-family
houses
on
them
for
the
58
and
60
Clifford
they're
single-family
row
houses
with
two
beds
when
they
have
baths
or
about
1400
square
feet,
each
that
would
be
zoning
works,
except
for
the
front
yard
setback
we're
trying
to
match
the
neighbors
exact
on
modal
alignment,
whereas
per
zoning
code.
J
So
58
and
60
of
these
two,
the
only
violation,
is
the
front
yard
setback.
Okay
down
the
street
35
Waverly,
where
the
lot
itself
is
too
narrow
for
zoning
go
to
have
anything
built
on
it,
like
the
optimum
for
a
single
family,
home
is
45
feet
and
the
lot
itself
is
only
37.5
feet.
So
for
that
one
we're
asking
for
a
front
yard
setback,
violation
to
be
mortal
with
the
exact
neighbors
and
we're
also
asking
for
a
lot
with
Frontage
variants.
A
Got
it
okay,
and
these
are
all
single,
these
are,
the
lots
are
all
currently
vacant,
yes,
okay
and,
and
these
are
are
going
to
be
for
sale.
Yes,.
J
These
are,
these
are
reduced,
cost
units
they're
marketed
through
the
department
of
neighborhood
development
and
there's
I'm
I'm,
not
certain
of
the
exact
reduced
amounts.
It's.

An
Article
15
Section
29
is
a
really
odd,
is
insufficient
name
and
address
for
the
record.
D
H
Yes,
my
name
is
Andrew
falkenstein
I'm,
an
architect
practicing
at
7
Kent
Street
over
Brookline.
We
are
here
today
to
ask
for
relief
for
a
new
construction
two-family
home
at
eight
Adrian
Street.
H
This
is
a
small
two
unit
building
proposed
on
a
small
lot.
The
the
house
is
designed
in
sympathy
with
many
of
the
adjacent
two
and
three
family
houses.
It
has
a
front
porch,
it
has
a
rear
porch
and
it
has
a
front
Bay.
H
The
the
loft
is
a
small
lot,
but
the
house
is
a
small
house.
The
total
square
footage,
including
basement,
is
2523
square
feet
and
that
2523
square
feet
is
split
roughly
evenly
between
a
lower
duplex
and
a
top
duplex.
H
The
existing
condition
is
this
has
been
a
vacant
lot
for
as
long
as
anyone
can
remember
and
Adrian.
Street
itself
is
really
a
paper
Road,
it's
unpaved
and
it
is
unconnected
on
two
sides,
and
this
would
have
faux
Frontage
on
Adrian
Street
and
would
help
really
and
a
condition
where
this
law
has
been
used
to
dump
trash
and
for
homeless
people
to
hang
out
and
for
illicit
activities
to
occur.
H
It
borders
other
two
and
three
family
houses
on
neighboring
streets
and
by
becoming
a
used
dwelling
unit
rather
than
a
vacant.
Lot
it's
going
to
make
the
entire
neighborhood
safer
and
I
do
not
know
of
any
undesirable
effects
in
the
neighborhood
that
this
will
bring.
We
are
not
proposing
to
have
any
on-street
parking,
but
we
believe
that
there
is
enough
on-stream
parking
in
the
neighborhood
and
also
on
Adrian
Street
itself
to
accommodate
these
two
new
new
residential
units.
A
Okay,
so
the
orientation
of
the
building
is
not
it's
not
exactly.
It's
not
exactly
facing
Adrian
Street
right.
H
That's
correct:
it
actually
picks
up
for.
H
Reasons,
but
also
for
for
for
massing
reasons.
We
are
facing
the
same
way
that
building
space
on
rambling
place,
so
it's
fake,
the
front
door
faces
East
and
there
would
be
a
walkway
from
Adrian
place
or
from
randlett
place
to
get
to
the
front
door
of
the
building.
In
a
lot
of.
A
Ways:
okay.
Okay,
let
me
ask
you,
let
me
ask
you
a
few
questions.
There's
no
parking
provided
I
mean
a
lot
is
incredibly
small,
so
I
I.
H
A
Okay,
now
the
other
question
is
there's
two
units
on
a
very
small
lot.
You've
got
a
part
of
unit
one
is
it
extends
into
the
basement
with
a
bedroom
down
below
correct
that
is
correct.
Okay,
now
what
is
the
height
of
the
basement
floor
to
the
grade?
How
far
below
ground.
H
A
Concealing
okay,
this
board
does
not
it's
not
particularly
thrilled
about
the
living
units
in
the
basement,
in
particular
bedrooms
that
are
below
grade
so
this
just
to
let
you
know
up
front:
okay,
Miss,
better
verraza.
How
are
the
drawings.
Y
Mr
chair
the
drawings
are
adequate.
I
just
had
a
question
regarding
whether
BTD
reviewed
this
project
in
regards
to
the
public
way
in
regards
to
the
street.
Z
Yes,
Bob
the
bigger
benching
thing.
We
have
not
reviewed
this
because
we
didn't
see
a
parking
violation
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge
on
this.
But
no,
we
have
not
reviewed.
Y
H
But
as
it
comes
in
now,
it
is
a
dead-end
street
on
both
sides.
But
there
is
a
paper
road
that
goes
all
the
way
through
right.
H
Well,
we're
not
requesting
that
we're
not
requesting
the
studio
to
do
anything.
If,
if
the
Boston
fire
department
becomes
satisfied
that
they
can
get
a
fire
truck
in
front
of
the
house,
we're
not
asking
the
city
for
any
improvements
of
the
street.
W
Is
there's
effects.
A
If
it's,
if
it's
part
of
what
was
provided,
you
can't
share
the
screen
with
your
own
self.
A
H
A
Interesting
Mr,
Mr,
Hampton
I
know
that
the
the
bpdas
weighed
in
on
this
project
we.
C
Did
we
recommended
to
not
without
prejudice
Suite?
This
is
actually
similar
to
what
happened
last
week
over
at
Dorchester,
where
it
was
a
2,
000
square
foot
lot
and
we
think
a
two
family
is
too
much
in
this
and
it's
you
know
kind
of
ironic.
We
recommended
approval
of
the
one
family
last
week
on
the
2
000
square
foot
lot,
but
we
think
that
two
family
on
2100
square
feet
is
just
too
much
so
we
recommend
it
to
now
without
prejudice.
Y
A
Yep,
okay,
so
you've
got
a
2
000
square
foot
lot
with
the
two
unit,
including
basement
bedroom,
and
it's
a
3F
four
thousand
area.
Okay,
all
right!
Well,
this
comments
make
sense.
I'll!
Let
me
let's
move
to
testimony.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
on
either
in
favor
or
not
position?
This
project.
AK
Yes,
good
good
morning,
Mr,
chairman
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Keisha
Santana
from
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
The
applicant
met
with
the
Butters,
and
there
was
no
attendance.
He
also
reached
out
to
mikozu
and
Dudley
Street
neighborhood
initiative.
AK
Mike
is
going
with
Dudley
Street
and
then
Dudley
Street
neither
support
it
or
was
in
opposition
of
the
project,
so
there's
not
really
any
direct
opinion
or
input
from
Community,
but
yeah.
This
way
we
would
like
to
defray
adjustment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
L
AB
Z
I
would
like
to
request
some
sort
of
detailed
plan,
because
you
need
20
feet
to
you
need
access
of
egress
to
any
parking
area,
but
since
from
what
I've
seen
there
is
no
parking
proposed,
so
anyone
gaining
access
to
the
site
would
have
to
walk
or
use
a
bite
and
as
long
as
it
meets
a
fire
department,
approval
I
have
no
opposition
to
this.
H
I
I
I
would
like
to
add
one
extra
fact:
the
existing
condition,
which
we
said
is
fenced
off.
It's
actually
gated
off,
it's
actually
a
gate,
and
so
it
is
an
operable
opening.
At
this
point.
Y
A
A
Out
to
this-
oh,
oh,
okay,
I
think,
we've
heard
we've
heard.
We
need
to
know
all
right,
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
unresolved
issues
here
and
the
bpda
Rick
medicine
Iowa
without
prejudice
I
mean
perhaps
give
the
applicant
the
opportunity
to
sort
out
some
of
these
issues
and
come
back
with
a
more
complete
plan
at
a
later
date.
But
I'm
I'm
interested
in
an
emotion
at
the.
A
I,
don't
hear
a
second
if
there's
no
second
I
would
need
another
motion.
Y
I
like
to
make
a
motion
of
approval
with
provisions
the
first
one
being
BTD
review
in
in
regards
to
Adrian
Street
access.
The
other
is
BT
bpda
design
review
to
look
at
the
elevation
along
Adrian
Street.
So
it
responds
to
that
Frontage.
A
Miss
Don,
yes,
Mr
Robinson,
yes,
Mr,
agero,
no
and
I
too,
am
opposed
I.
Think
it's
two
deaths,
so
the
motion
does
not
pass
so
the
I
mean
in
fact
the
motion
is
an
eye.
I
K
My
proposal
here
is
just
it's
actually
a
two
and
a
half
families,
so
I'm
taking
the
half
family,
that's
up
top
and
making
it
to
a
a
unit
Standalone
unit,
so
making
it
a
sense
of
free
family
I
do
have
a
driveway
but
I
I.
It
appears
that
it
didn't
it
wasn't
wide
enough,
but
it's
it's
always
been
there.
The
curve
is
already
cut.
It
can
fit
two
cars
in
the
driveway
already.
K
My
proposal
is
to
extend
the
driveway
and
add
additional
parking
in
the
back,
so
that
so
that
wouldn't
be
an
issue
would
be
a
Butters
or
anything
like
that.
I
know
parking
is
an
issue
in
Boston
and
I'll.
Do
my
part
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
additional
parking
in
the
back.
A
K
A
Through
a
few
things,
one
is
we'll
get
to
the
driveway
in
a
minute,
just
how
big?
How
big
is
the
third
floor,
the
separate
unit,
how
many
square
feet.
A
Q
A
All
right,
so
my
question
was:
how
big
is
the
new
propose
a
quarter
floor
unit?
How
big
are
all
the
units.
K
A
What
is
the
third
floor
being
used
for
up
until.
K
Now
I
I
lived
up
there.
All
my
life
I
lived
in
that
house
since
I
was
14
years
old
I
bought
it
for
my
mom
back
in
17
and.
Q
It
was,
it
was
all
connected.
Okay,.
A
Whoever's,
the
source
of
the
I
think
it
mute
themselves,
please
well
so
this
second,
the
second
and
third
floor
were
one
unit
up
up
until
now,.
K
A
A
Okay
and
you're
saying
this
is
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
a
thousand
square
feet.
What's
the
Florida
to
ceiling
height
in
in
that
90.
A
And
where,
but
the
house
has
been
assessed
as
a
two
family
up
until
now,
then
yeah,
okay
and
and
what
do
you?
What
will
you
do
about?
Is
there
are
the
separate
meters
for
the
two
units,
two
existing
units?
A
Yes
and
where
are
they
in
the
basement?
Yes,
sir?
Okay
and
now
so
they'll,
be
in
a
there'll,
be
a
third
meter
added
to
to
contract
the
utilities
for
the
separate
space.
Yes,
Mr,
chair,
okay.
Is
there
anything
in
the
basement?
Besides
this
utilities
of
storage.
K
Not
just
utility
and
storage,
that's
it!
Nothing
else
is
down
there.
Okay,
no
plans
to
do
anything
else.
A
Y
A
So,
let's
get
let's
get
to
the
driveway.
You
said
that
seven
foot,
seven
is
the
where
those
bump
outs
are
that's
what
the?
How
do
you
get
a
car
through
there.
K
Z
Yes,
Mr
chairman
and
members
of
the
board
above
Tamiko
Etc
7.7
feet
is
much
too
narrow,
especially
in
the
Clement
weather
and
in
the
name
of
Public
Safety
I
request
denial
for
this
proposal.
A
Okay,
I
I
mean
seven
foot.
Seven
is
extremely
narrow,
I.
What's
what's
on
the
other
side
of
the
the
neighboring
lot,
is
you
when
you
drive
past
those
bump
outs,
you
end
up
going
over
the
neighbor's
property.
K
A
We
we
don't,
we
don't
share
screens,
we
talk.
It's
still
what's
submitted,
okay,
Mr
D'amico,
that
I
don't
know.
How
does
he
even
get
those
cars
passed.
Z
There
and
he
can't
at
seven
foot-
seven
is
not
adequate.
We
have
a
minimum
of
at
least
nine
feet,
sometimes
we're
flexible.
We
go
to
eight
feet,
but
not
7.7.
I
just
worry
about
approval
for
that.
I've
never
approved
something
under
8.5
feet,
so
I
can't
go
along
with
this.
K
Z
I
can't
comment
on
what
was
there
before
all
I
know,
it's
being
presented
at
this
point
in
time.
It's.
K
A

Yes,
good
morning,
Mr

with

on
August,

where
they
received

from

also
met
with

where

on

Mr

it's
now

Would
you
like
to
make
your
statement
there.
A
Yes,
today,
we
are
a
six-member
board
for
those
of
you
who
are
who
are
on.
You
can
see
that
it.
If
you
would
wish
to
wait
until
there's
a
full
seven-member
board,
you
can
request
an
administrative
deferral
and
have
it
be
granted.
It
takes
five
votes
for
a
motion
to
pass.
D

AJ
Morning,
yes,
this
is

D
D
AJ
I

Are
there
any
other

or

for

Only
hearing

I'll

AQ
Well,
proposing
to
do
with
our
pet
I
haven't
worked
with
the
city.
There
was
a
utility
pole
in
place.
They
approved
that
moved
and
then,
when
I
get
got
to
the
last
part,
I
I
got
a
denial,
so
I'm
asking
you
guys
for
Relief
and
I
can
do
a
two
car
if
the
similar
to
my
neighbors
in
the
area
of
The,
Three
Families
in
Dorchester
and
I,
already
moved
the
poll
and
worked
with
Street
lighting
to
remove
the
whole
the
light
pole
that
was
in
front
of
the
proposed
driveway.
A
So
the
poll
has
already
been
moved.
It
has
been
okay,
all
right.
Can
we
scroll
yeah.
So,
let's
see
what's
the
width
of
the
driveway
at
its
narrowest
point.
AQ
I
believe
it's
about
14.
I'm,
not
too
sure
my
contractor
on
the
line,
but
I'm
not
too
good
with
the
measurement,
but
it's
similar
to
the
same
of
all
the
other
three
families
on
the
street
I
have
one
adjacent
from
me
across
the
meeting
they're
both
the
same
okay.
AQ
A
A
All
right
is
Miss,
Vickers
is
your:
is
your
contractor
on
there
because
we
need
to.
W
AQ
A
Dimensions
are
for
in
order
to
make
a
useful
decision.
Okay,.
AQ
AQ
A
Y
Z
First
of
all,
Kai
number
one
would
have
to
be
removed,
and,
secondly,
I
would
like
to
ask
what
a
lot
of

as
secondly.
Secondly,
I
would
like.
AR
Z
AJ
A
A
We
we
can't
make
a
decision
in
the
absence
of
that.
So
do
you
have

On

I
know,
unfortunately,
you
can't
share

We
have
all
we
have
is
what
was
submitted
to
us
and
if
we
don't
have
a

plan,
it's
a
little
bit
hard
to
make
a
informed
decision
about
the
question
of
side

Insufficient
I
mean
as
long
as
we're

What
is

What
is

AS
A
Okay,
that
seems
I'm
having
a
little
bit
of
trouble,
making
sense
of
this,
because
the
bpda
suggested
that
there
was
a
encroachment
on
the
on
the
side

that
was
significant,
Mr
Hampton.
C
A
To
the
applicant,
in
order
to
make
a
useful,
thoughtful
decision
about
this,
we
need
we
need
a
survey,
a
plot
plan
that
shows
what
the
side
yard
encroachment
is
given
the
new
edition.
So
we're.
AS
A
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
what
to
tell
you.
These
are
what
we
have.
This
is
what
the
architecture
is
reviewing.
This
is
what's
on
the
screen,
so
I,
it's
unfortunate,
but
I,
think
we're
going
to
have
to
I'm.
Gonna
have
to
entertain
a
motion
to

don't
move,
okay,

Mr

Morning,
Mr

my

I
represent

There
are
all
of
Sullivan

By
joining
me
on
today's
hearing
is
the

architect,
Derek

Mr,
chairman
members
of
my
clients,
are
the
owners
of
the
building
at
311
315
Washington
Street
in
Brighton.
The
building
is
currently
a
vacant
two-story
building,
most
recently
occupied
by
a
liquor
store
on
the
ground
floor
and
offices.
Above
the
proposal
is
to
convert
the
Second
Story
office
use
into
four
one-bedroom
apartments.
AF
The
unit
sizes
would
be
approximately
774,
793,
794
and
806
square
feet.
Nothing
is
currently
proposed
for
the
ground
floor
of
the
building,
which
is
not
in
the
scope
of
the
permit
application,
or
this
appeal
building
is
located
within
an
ns1
neighborhood
shopping
district
under
article
51,
the
altitude
Brighton
neighborhood
zoning
article
Second
Story
residential
use
is
thus
conditional
under
the
code.
Relief
is
also
necessary
for
insufficient
useful,
open
space
and
insufficient
off-street
parking.
The
building
occupies
essentially
the
entire
site,
making
the
introduction
of
open
space
and
parking
impossible.
AF
The
site
is
appropriate
for
the
proposed
second
floor.
Residential
use,
as
there
are
many
mixed-use
buildings
in
the
immediate
area
with
up
to
three
stories
of
residential
uses
above
ground
floor,

is
within
walking

of
the
Warren

on
the
mbta's
green
line.
I'll
call
it
can
take
any
questions
that
the
board
may
have.
A
Okay,
so
you're
only
looking
for
approval
for
what
is
proposed
on
the
second
floor,
not
that
not
the
first
floor,
correct
that
is
correct.
Okay,
but
I
mean
I,
assume
it's
the
same
owner.
What
do
you
know
what
the
long-term
they're
looking
to
keep
it
commercial?
What's
the
point,
yeah.
AF
Sorry,
the
ground
floor
will
remain
commercial.
My
parents
are
currently
sorry.
My
clients
are
currently
working
with
potential
tenants,
but
they
do
wish
to
convert
the
second
floor
and
hold
it
as
residential
apartment.
Okay,.
A

A

A
Okay,
any
questions
to

is
anyone
here
to

Record
police
warning
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
board:
it's
Richard
Lynn's,
245,
Sumner,
Street,
East
Boston
on
behalf
of
petitioner
David
gerstman,
Mr,
chairman
members
of
the
board.
This
is
a
pre-existing
three-family
dwelling.
We
can
jump
to
page
four.
We
can
look
at
conditions
of
the
existing
site.
Our
proposal
would
involve
a
complete,
Rehabilitation
and
Renovations
existing
structure.
This
is
located
in
a
flood
Hazard
district
and
therefore
no
habitable
space
is
permitted
to
the
lower
level.
AX
We
have
looked
at
how
to
address
this
building
in
a
way
to
not
only
create
the
upgrades
that
would
be
necessary
for
Life
Safety
and
a
full
renovation
of
building
to
also
preserve
the
height
keeping
this
at
three
stories,
including
the
roof,
decks
that
we're
proposing
without
head
houses.
If
we
jump
to
the
next
slide
here,
we
go
yeah.
So
what
we're
showing
is
a
rendering
of
the
proposed
change.
AX
This
is
pretty
consistent
with
the
architecture
along
the
new
buildings
along
this
section
of
Maverick
Street,
and
we
feel
that
you
know
the
design
and
what
we're
showing
here
is
is
definitely
a
change
from
what
presently
exists
today.
This
will
ultimately
be,
as
the
secretary
indicated.
AX
Four
units
is
currently
three
we're
proposing
a
two-bedroom
on
the
first
level,
a
three
bedroom
about
1400
square
feet
on
the
second
level
and
two
single
bedrooms,
roughly
between
680
and
720
square
feet
on
the
upper
level,
each
of
the
upper
levels
will
have
access
to
a
private
roof
deck.
The
lower
levels
we'll
have
rear
decks,
as
well
as
access
to
the
rear
Courtyard.
With
respect
to
the
relief,
that's
necessary,
Mr
chairman,
because
this
is
located
in
3F,
2000
District,
we
do
meet
the
requirements
for
minimum
lot
size
of
3000
square
feet.
AX
However,
we
do
require
a
variance
to
change
the
occupancy
from
three
to
four
units.
Our
proposed
Fai,
which
is
generally
consistent
with
the
fars
of
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
is
at
1.59
it's
in
excess
of
the
one
that's
permitted
under
the
code.
While
we
do
have
a
side
yard
condition
that
presently
exists
at
about
just
under
a
foot.
AX
On
the
right
side,
we
will
extend
the
back
of
the
building,
as
you
can
see
in
this
elevation
here,
to
bring
the
building
back
a
little
bit
further,
because
we're
going
to
maintain
that
clean
any
of
that
new
addition
will
also
require
relief
from
the
side,
yet
setback
of
2.5
feet
with
respect
to
the
rear
yard.
Although
we
do
propose
the
decks.
AX
As
you
can
see
in
this
elevation,
we
are
showing
about
23
feet
in
the
rear
yard,
just
slightly
below
the
30
foot,
that's
required,
but
again
that
will
be
used
by
low
at
the
lower
levels,
units
one
and
two
for
shared
for
internet
access.
Last
but
not
least,
is
parking.
The
building
presently
is
a
non-conforming
condition
with
no
parking
spaces
located,
because
article
53
only
requires
an
additional
parking
space
for
the
proposed
additional
unit,
we're
requesting
a
variance
in
the
one
parking
space.
AX
A
Can
we
go
back
scrolling
back
up
to
the
rendering
from
looking
at
it
from
the
rear
right
right
there
yeah
it
looks,
are:
are
there
two
separate
roof
decks
on
the
on
the
building
that.
AX
A
For
that,
okay,
okay
and
then
you
answered
my
question:
I
couldn't
see
how
the
access
to
the
front
one
that
was
done,
but
I
now
see,
there's
a
little
little
bubble
there
in
the
middle.
That
must
be
the
hatch.
Okay,
yes,
and
then
then
there's
the
issue
of
the
rear,
one
of
whether
that
should
be
internal
or
exterior
spiral,
but
we'll
we'll
okay,
we'll
deal
with
that
and
these
units
on
the
top,
so
the
so
these
other
than
the
extension
to
the
rear.
The
footprint
is
the
same
is
unchanged
that.
AX
Is
correct,
Douglas
chairman
we
originally
had
proposed
this
as
a
four-story
building
through
the
community
process
that
we
agreed
to
maintain
the
three-story
height.
A
AX
So
this
will
be
designed
in
accordance
with
the
flood
flood
plain
requirements,
I
believe
internal
Utilities
in
the
units,
as
well
as
just
storage
and
preventive.
You
know
permissible
use
in
the
basement
only
for
flood
zone,
okay,.
A
Y
AE
Chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
the
time
Benitez,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
our
office
hosted
in
a
Butters
meeting
for
this
project
on
May
4th.
We
had
two
letters
participate
in
the
meeting
and
both
opposed
a
project
due
to
the
density
of
the
street
and
lack
of
parking,
but,
most
importantly,
the
lack
of
the
character
of
the
street,
meaning
the
design
they
didn't
really
like
the
design.
The
applicant
also
met
with
the
Jeffers
Point
neighbor
Association
twice.
AE
The
membership
ultimately
voted
to
oppose
the
project
with
11
residents
voting
in
favor
and
18
voting
in
opposition.
The
residents
of
closing
fell
that
the
produce
too
big
for
the
lot
size.
The
lack
of
parking
in
the
building
does
not
fit
with
the
character
of
the
neighborhood,
and
at
this
moment
our
office
we're
going
to
refer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
A
AX
I
I
suppose
I
can't
argue
with
people's
opinions
on
the
issue
of
design.
Mr
chairman
there
is
a
photo
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
go
back
to
it
and.
AY
AX
AX
A
I
think
if
you
look
at
oh
a
little
bit
about
Mr
Lee,
let
me
interrupt
you
right
there.
The
picture
that
we're
looking
at
on
the
right,
that's
a
rendering!
Is
there
a
proposal
for
a
sort
of
gazebo-like
structure
on
top
of
these
roof
decks
I'm.
AX
A
A
But
no
other
race
stands
Mr
Hampton.
C
Would
you
like
me
to
go
on
record
Mr
chairman
yeah,
we
recommended
approval
with
design
review,
hoping
that
the
access
to
the
roof
deck
would
be
internally
instead
of
the
Spiral
roof
spiral
stairs.
A
So
for
the
rear
deck,
so
you
have
to
a
hatch
for
each
one:
yeah!
Yes,
okay,
all
right!
If
there's
no
other
testimony.
A
Y
Mr
chair
I'd
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
of
approval
with
a
Proviso,
a
bpda
design
review
to
begin
to
address
some
of
the
concerns
of
the
residents
in
terms
of
this
context
and
to
provide
interior
access
to
the
roof,
not
through
an
exterior

A
Yes,
we
then
we
need
a

defer
because
we
are
now
a

member
board.
So
does
someone
make
a
motion
to
defer
yeah
I
made
it
second.
BA
L
D
BB
A
Apologize,
my
my
my
internet
was
was
getting
into
a
fight
with
me,
but
I
think
I.
Think
for
the
moment.
I
prevailed.
A
Okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
to
defer
I'm
taking
the
roll
call
vote,
Mr,
Fortune,
yes,
well,
I
can't
ask
Ms
Dawn,
yes,
Mr
Rogero,
yes
and
myself
that's
the
best,
but
under
the
circumstances
we
we
need
to
defer
with
the
recusals
and
administrative,
for
a
request
to
anyone.
Yes,.
BB
B
D
P
Yeah
in
regards
to
the
paraffin
wall,
the
parapet
wall
is
already
there.
It's
about
56
inches
high,
surround
the
entire
building.
Is
it
solid
or
yes,
solid,
solid
one?
What's
it
made
of
probably
two
by
six
or
metal
stud
capped
off
and
the
inside
has
clock
board
on
the
inside?
It's
probably
about
a
foot
thick
all
right,
but
it's
in
existing
condition.
It
is
the
existing
condition
around
the
perimeter
of
the
whole
entire
building.
P
Okay,
there
are
an
existing
floor
or
I
think
there's
four
decks
up
there
right
now,
basically
a
sleeper
and
then
a
decking
on
top
of
it,
and
none
of
them
have
any
rails
on
them
at
all.
A
P
A
Okay,
so
so
in
the
we're
looking
at
the
top
right,
the
existing
deck
is
a
smaller
portion
smaller.
So
the
proposed
neck
is
you're
you're,
almost
tripling
the
size
right,
correct,
yeah,
okay
and
there's
no
oh
and
is:
is
it
all
Not
Invisible.
P
A
Y
Mr
chair
the
drawings,
look
accurate,
well,
not
really
accurate,
because
it
shows
a
parapet
as
lower
in
height,
but
also
looking
at
the
Google
Earth
image,
the
parapet
looks
still
very.
The
height
looks
less
than
than
what
was
just
mentioned
in
terms
of
five
feet,
so
I
I.
It
would
be
great
just
to
get
that
confirmed
or
we
can
put
that
into
motion.
I.
A
Okay,
so
yeah
you
had
said
56
inches,
yes,
okay,
all
right
any
other
questions
on
the
board.

the

I
have
received
a
call
from

who
opposes

being

who
said
they
never

The

strongly
opposed

At

to
defer

Thank
you.

Okay,
can
you
what
was
the
strong
opposition
is
based
on
what.
A
Okay,
and
can
you
can
you
tell
us
whether
it
is
the
parapet?
Well,
it's
really
high

to
obstruct

is
that
not

A
A
pretty
substantial

A
Well,
Mr
Pierre
I
do
have
one
question.
The
current
access
to
this
deck
is
what.
A
P
That's
14.:
oh,
we
see
I,
think
the
dimensions
were
on
the
drawings,
yeah
I
think
it
was
14
by
16.
about
260.
I
BF
Y
Y
I
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
of
approval
with
the
PDA
design
review,
to
reduce
the
deck
size
and
to
and
to
confirm
that
there's
no
without
a
building
code
violation.
So
that's
just
to
make
sure
that
the
parapet's
at
42.
Y
O
A
I
think
that's
Mr,
Hampton
I'm
sure
you're
capable
of
handling
that,
if
one
all
right
for
a
second.
A
BC

Make
a
motion
for

with
a
without
prejudice.

Mr
Fortune,
yes,
commissionerosa,
no
Ms
dong,
yes,
Mr
Robinson,
yes,
Mr
agero,
yes
and
I.
Support
that
too.
So
so
you'll
need
to
come
back
with
I.
Think
I
think
the
sentiment
is
for
a
significantly
reduced
proposal.

Right,
let's
move

gonna

BG
Good
morning,
members
of
the
board,
my
name-
is
Rebecca
Lee
I'm,
an
attorney
with
men's
with
an
address
of
One,
Financial
Center,
and
this
proposal
involves
a
long
vacant
former
fast
food
restaurant
building,
no
changes
to
the
exterior
of
the
building.
The
reason
for
the
coupling
of
these
zoning
requests
is
that,
although
this
is
one
property,
you
can
go
back
to
the
prior
plan,
it's
three
discrete
Lots,
even
though
it
operates
as
one
the
owner.
Our
landlord
has
not
Consolidated
the
Lots.
BG
Therefore,
we
end
up
with
ancillary
parking
that
is
in
effect
functioning
as
accessory
parking.
This
property
has
been
vacant
for
over
a
decade.
It
is
proposed
to
be
converted
into
a
full
service.
Citizens
Bank.
It
is
in
a
neighborhood
shopping
district
with
many
commercial
uses
nearby.
It's
also
in
a
Gateway
overlay
District,
which
points
to
the
prominent
location
in
the
matapan
community
and
the
urgent
need
for
this
to
be
revitalized
and
turned
into
a
use
that
will
serve
the
community.
BG
These
are
existing
elevator
nations
of
the
building,
which
was
a
former
KFC
and
as
we
move
forward
with
this
presentation,
you'll
also
see
what
the
current
conditions
are.
Like
which
are
pretty
dismal
both
with
respect
to
the
building
and
if
we
continue
on
you'll,
also
see
the
current
state
of
the
parking
lot
and
the
environments,
which
is
basically
an
attraction
for
nurses,
uses
which
disturb
nearby
residential
neighborhoods.
BG
So
citizens
assigned
a
lease
and
is
prepared
to
move
forward
with
extensive
interior
renovations
to
convert
this
into
a
bank
branch
you'll
see
the
existing
building
Footprints
a
traffic
pattern
that
has
vehicles
coming
through
with
11
parking
spaces
and
they
can
drive
to
a
drive
up
an
ATM
machine
and
then
traffic
leaving
can
separately
move
beyond
that
and
then
exit
onto
Blue,
Hill
Avenue.
You
know
right
turn
only
configuration
they
will.
BG
So,
as
you
can
see,
there
will
be
extensive
landscape
improvements
as
well
a
much
smaller
traffic
trash
enclosure
because
it
won't
have
all
of
the
debris
and
trash
related
to
fast
food.
The
loss
would
be
a
night
time
depository,
so
we
do
not
feel
that
this
will
be
detrimental
to
the
neighborhood.
In
fact,
it
will
enhance
the
neighborhood
provided
any
community
service
and
also
results
in
the
upgrade
and
revitalization
of
a
long
vacant.
Prominent
property
and
I
have
members
of
the
citizens
team
from
the
Real
Estate
Security
and
other
Realms,
including
the
area
vice
president.
BG
A
A
Well,
let
me
say
first
off
going
given
a
number
of
banks,
including
unfortunately,
my
own,
are,
are
eliminating
branches
in
minority
neighborhoods.
It
is
very
nice
to
see
that
citizens
are
heading
in
the
opposite
direction.
So
I,
just
you
know,
for
the
record.
That's
that's
a
plus.
What
hours
will
be?
What
will
be
the
hours
of
operation.
BG
It'll
be
typical
bank
branch
hours
I'm,
not
sure
that
we've
allowed
Alejandro
recepo
to
be
a
panelist
Stephanie.
You
can
speak
to
more
specifics
of
that.
There
is
a
24-hour
ATM
Lobby.
A
I
understand
the
24-hour
ATM
Sometimes.
Some
branches
seem
to
be
to
have
maybe
one
evening
a
week
or
a
Saturday
morning
of
making
it
available
for
people
who
are
working
full-time
during
the
day
is
that
is
that
envisioned
here,
my.
R
AG
P
AV
AB
A
All
right:
well,
maybe
you
can
get
on.
Let's
keep
going
with
with
questions.
E
Good,
what
about
the
the
drive
up,
ATM
and
the
ATM
access?
Are
those
24
hours
or
do
those
get
shut
off
at
some
point.
E
Okay,
do
you
have
monitoring
in
the
parking
lot
with
cameras
and
stuff
to
make
sure
people
aren't
lawyering
there,
especially
after
hours
that
they
just
come
in
and
do
their
business
and
leave.
B
I
believe
I
believe
we
have
Derrick
Lamaya
from
security
on
and
yes,
these
are
monitored,
but
I
started
can
answer
to
live
monitoring
on
that.
A
Can
name
an
address
for
the
record
and
please
respond
to
Mr
Gerald's
question.
AB
AY
Yes,
good
morning
this
is
Derek.
Lemire
I
met
one
Citizens
Bank
Way
in
Johnson
Rhode
Island
I
am
on
the
phys
I'm
a
physical
security
manager
for
Citizens
Bank.
To
answer
the
the
question
that
was
posed.
Yes,
there
will
be
cameras
on
the
interior
and
exterior
of
the
building,
that'll
exceed
federal
regulations,
and
they
will
be
recorded
recorded
24x7
with
a
90-day
retention
period.
E
I
just
I
I've
seen,
but
in
the
past,
where
18
but
branches,
where
people
don't
just
use
the
ATM,
they
hang
out
there
afterwards
and
things
like
that.
So
I
didn't
know.
If
there
was
some
monitoring
that
happens
after
hours
where,
if
people
are
ordering
in
the
parking
lot,
they
would
keep
people
moving,
that
that
was.
BH
Good
morning,
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board
Eric
Jones,
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
applicant
for
1160
Blue
Hill
Ave
had
an
abundance
meeting
on
August
15th
of
this
year,
and
they
met
with
the
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
Council
on
the
Lucerne
Gardens
neighborhood
association.
The
gmnc
voted
to
support
the
project
with
the
Proviso
for
direct
input
for
the
from
the
Boston
transportation
department.
BH
Regarding
the
exiting
of
the
parking
lot
on
Temple
Hill,
Ave,
Lucerne
Gardens
elected
to
support
the
product
as
long
as
they
can
ensure
that
they
will
secure
the
parking
lot
as
they
do
have
concerns
about
security
issues
of
the
neighborhood.
We
do
have
a
total
of
one
letter
of
support
and
zero
letters
of
opposition.
At
this
time.
The
mayor's
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
on
this
matter.
Thank
you.

The
gmnc
has
supports
this
proposal
with
Proviso
that
the
Boston
transportation
department,
I
reviewed
there,
was
concern
during
our
discussions
about
the
exiting
and
entry
and
exiting
both
coming
out
to
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
Instead
of
turning
onto
Frontier
Street.
Our
understanding
is
that
front.
BJ
C
Mr
Hampton
yeah
Mr
chair,
thank
you
very
much.
Our
recommendation
is
for
approval
would
provide
some
we're
concentrating
more
on
the
parking
area
rather
than
the
use.
The
signage
will
come
to
us
anyway
from
ISD,
but
we
recommended
that
a
10
foot
curb
Cuts,
be
on
Blue
Hill
Ave,
that
it's
made
one
way
and
that
the
accompanying
companion
curb
cut
Beyond
front
neck
and
limited
also
to
10
feet
and
then,
of
course,
we'd.
Ask
for
screening
buffering
and
you
know,
permeous
surface
okay,.
Y
So
well
with
that
I
I
just
wanted
to
have
that
on
record
I
like
to
make
a
motion
for
approval
with
two
Proviso.
One
is
BTD
review
of
the
parking
layout
in
terms
of
ensuring
that
there's
good
traffic
flow
and
pedestrian
safety,
and
the
second
is
to
ensure
that
there's
adequate
lighting
and
security
when
there's
transactions
of
money.
So
that
includes
deposit
box,
ATM
and
then
I
guess.
A
third
one
would
be
screening
at
the
rear
of
residential
property.
Yeah.
O

AG
AJ
A
Dawn,

Mr
Robinson,
yes,
Mr

yes,

I
too,
am
in

am
pleased
to
see
that
there
is
a
additional
range
in
the
minority
Community
which
have
been
underserved
in

The
motion
passes.

Good
morning
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Timothy.
Burke
I
have
a
business
address
of
142
Berkeley
Street
in
Boston
I'm,
the
architect
for
the
project
representing
the
owner,
Jose
Garcia.
BK
This
is
a
traditional
three
Decker
who
has
three
units.
Each
one's
1130
square
feet,
as
you
can
see
on
the
plot
plan
due
to
the
unusual
shape
and
size
of
the
lot,
is
what
triggers
a
lot
of
these
existing
non-conformities
we're,
not
planning
to
expand
the
footprint
of
the
house,
but
instead
we're
just
kind
of
triggered
by
the
decrepit
condition
of
the
rear
porches.
BK
They
need
to
be
rebuilt,
and
at
this
time
the
owner
who
lives
on
the
first
floor
would
like
to
enclose
that
portion
of
the
first
floor,
since
he
has
a
growing
family
and
is
in
much
need
of
additional
living
space.
The
first
floor
uses
the
yard
and
they
take
great
care
of
it.
They
are
very
well
liked
in
the
neighborhood
and
then
the
upper
two
levels
will
still
have
their
balconies
for
outdoor
space.
A
A
That's
a
interesting
plot
plan.
Yes,.
A
I
guess
so:
yeah.
A
All
right:
well,
it
seems
pretty
straightforward
Miss,
better

You
get
a
chance
to
look

any

D
AT
Good
morning,
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
board
Attorney
John
Paul
genie
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
for
46
Ashland
Park
in
Dorchester.
The
zoning
here
is

Ashland
Park
is
4119

Ashbourne

for
point
of
contacts,
these
properties,
a
three-minute
walk
to
ashbourne's
train
station
and
that
one
street
away
from
Dorchester
Avenue.
AT
As
you
all
may
remember,
a
different
proposal
came
before
this
board
in
March
of
this
year
and
the
board
and
the
BPD
recommendation
made
it
clear.
They
wanted
any
proposal
to
adhere
to
the
3ft
zoning.
At
that
time
we
were
closing
full
units
in
each
building
and
had
nine
zoning
violations
associated
with
this
application.
AT
Thank
our
proposal
is
to
build
one
three
family
building
on
each
lot.
Unit
3
in
both
units
in
buildings,
will
have
a
private
roof
deck
and,
as
you
will
see,
from
architectural
drawings,
we
have
revised
our
application
going
from
Florida
units
to
three
and
the
design
now
conforms
with
the
3fd
designation.
AT
Additionally,
each
unit
will
come
with
a
designated
parking
spot
and
conforms
in
the
project
conforms
with
all
parking
and
dimensional
requirements,
with
the
exception
of
side
yard,
and
that
is
between
the
two
buildings
to
a
limit
current
pets
on
the
street.
We're
doing
a
a
joint
easement
for
parking
in
between
that
does
not
affect
the
letters
and
also
open
space.
What
is
required
is
576,
576
square
feet
or
dwelling
in
it
we're
opposing
340
square
feet.
Again.
AT
We
went
from
nine
violations
to
two
and,
as
you
will
see
from
the
bpda
recommendation,
they
are
now
recommending
approval
with
designer
do
the
last
time
they
recommended
Nile.
As
far
as
the
unit
programming
unit

410
square

1405
square
feet,
three

two
bath
unit,
3
1540
square
feet,
three
bed,
two
bath
and
finally,
the
units
will
be
condominium,
so
it'll
be
home
ownership
to
this
neighborhood.
Any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
and
I.
Think
Peter
vanco
from
vanco
Studio

is
on
the
call.

The
unit
means
they're,
roughly
14,
10,
1405
and
1540

they're
all

too
bad.
Okay,.

okay,
all
right!

as

then,
please
just

go

along
with

The

includes

It
is

long
they're
about
two
dozen

approximating
20

the

I
think,
thank
you,
you've
been
very
clear
and
this
your
opposition
continues
to
be
based
on
the
current
proposal
and
not
only
the
previous
one
right.
Okay,.
A
I
Yes,
Rosalind

just
approve
everything

mentioned.

you.

A
I
BK
AV
Hi,
this
is
Sam
Thorson
I'm
from
229
Center,

I
approve
of
this
project.
I've
met
both
of
others
and
the
developers.
AB
BO
Yeah
hi,
my
name
is
Claudio
paulus.
We
are
on
Ashmont
park
across
the
street
and
also
actually
diagonally
two
buildings
on
don't
tell
them
and
drink
a
street,
and
we
approve
of
the
project
for
many
reasons.
Once
the
area
needs
uplifting
and
number
two,
the
city
needs
revenue
and
number
three
I
think
all
the
opposition
Flags
validity.
AB
N
Yes,
this
is
John
Kavanaugh
and
we
we
own
property
directly
across
the
street,
one's
three
Ashmont
Park
and
I'm
totally
opposed
to
this
unit.
These
these
buildings,
I
totally
agree
with
Dale
and
also
the
size
for
buildings,
are
too
big
for
the
stream.
It's
going
to
add
more
problems
with,
as
Dale
mentions,
trash
removal,
snow
removal,
street
cleaning,
rubbish
recycling,
so
I'm
totally
in
opposition
of
these
two
buildings.
All
right.

you
very.

Sorry
sorry
I
was
I,
mean
Linda
San

to
ask
my
card.
I
am
totally
against
these
projects
and
I
think
that
that
the
majority
of
the
houses
in
the
modern
saw
26
out
of
30
are
opposed
to
this
project.
Like
my
husband
said,
the
dentist
the
doctor
and
his.
E
Go
ahead,
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion
to
approve
what
BPD
design
review
and
maybe
some
BTD
review
for
some
of
the
issues
that
some
of
the

put

My

is

in
Quincy
Mass.
We
are
here
today
to
ask
for
Relief
to
build
a
three-family
home
on
this
vacant
lot.
As
you
can
see
from
the
plans,
each
unit
will
have
three
bedrooms
and
two
baths.
In-Unit
laundry
look
up
and
will
be
a
roughly
1300
square
feet.
The
first
floor
will
be
handicap
accessible
unit.
BA
BA
This
is
a
Transit
oriented
unit
or
property.
We
are
by
multiple
bus
routes
and
the
commuter
rail
in
addition
to
the
front
and
rear
deck
space
we
are
by
within
a
mile
to
public
parks.
Our
building
is
of
similar
size
and
character
of
the
existing
three
families
on
both
sides
of
the
street.
Our
lot
size
is
23
37
square
feet.
These
units
will
be
rental
units
as
their
remains
in
Need
for
housing
in
the
community.
BA
Please
note:
there
are
five
laws
on
this
street
that
are
identical
to
ours
and
four
laws
that
are
smaller
than
ours
and
they've
all
house
three
family
units.
This
project
is
an
appropriate
use
of
the
lot
it
will
not
adversely
affect
the
community
or
create
any
detriment
for
a
better
residence.
We
have
our
architect
Alfonso
Sierra
with
us
on
the
line
to
answer
any
additional
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
can
you
just
go
over
the
parking
again.
BA
Yes,
so
on
adjacent
to
the
right
of
the
building,
you'll
see
the
two
spaces.
Let's
see
what

which
side
which

citing
lack

the

lots
of

We
recently
Great

as
Eric
James
had
stated
what
our
main
concerns
were.
There
were
also
concerned
when
you're
actually
visiting
this
route.
Both
sides
of
the
street
are
there's
parking
on
most,
but
but
there
is
also
both
sides
of
the
streets
where
the
cars
park,
half

the
width,
the
entire
width
of
the

curved
the

is
only
24

The
other
concerns
were
having
to
do
with

have
described
within
where
we
met
with
the
development
team
we'd
ask
them,
would
they
be
considering
a
smaller
project
because
of
the
size
of
the
parcel,
and
they
said
that
they
would
not.
BJ
We
understand
that
the
homes
that
are
on
the
street
were
big
built
earlier
in
the
19th
century
when
in
the
20th
century
and
the
early
1900s,
but
this
is
you
know,
2022
and
most
people
do
expect
to
have
a
certain
amount
of
light
in
space.
When
we
have
brought
up
about
the
parking
again,
they
say
they
can
fit.
Two
parking
spaces
and
I
was
told
that
when
someone
wanted
to
move
the
car
they
could
go
and
ask
the
other
unit
to
move
their
car.
BJ
A
A
Yes,
going
to
him
in
favor,
the
motion
passes
I'm,
going
to
suggest
that
we
do
the
following
I'm
I'm
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
Mr
Robinson
has
to
leave
at
one
o'clock,
but
I
think
if
people
need
a
very
short
stretch,
break
so
I'm,
going
to
suggest
that
we
just
take
a
few
minutes
and
and
reconvene
around
around
noon.
A
T
T
T
A
A
A
At
noon
and
given
the
fact
that
Mr
Robinson
has
to
leave
a
one
and
which
will
give
us
a
five-member
board,
I
think
it
may
make
sense
to
try
to
deal
with
that.
That
issue
now
and
then
go
back
to
our
regular
agenda.
D
We'll
do
it
Mr
chap
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
people
on
for
the
court
remand
if
they
could
make
sure
that
they
let
Madame
Ambassador
know
that
they're
here
yeah
foreign.
D
BP
A
Okay,
we
do,
we
have
everybody,
we
need
on
it
for
the
case.
L
AB
BP
No,
it
should
be
William
or
Bill
ferulo.
Q
A
If
he's
not
out
in
a
couple
of
minutes.
We
should
probably
go
back
to
the
the
regular
agenda
until
he's
here.
We,
you
know
we're
running
up
against
time
constraints.

AT
Good
afternoon,
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
board,
Attorney
John
pulgini,
on
the
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
seven
dating
rabbit,
Hyde
Park.
The
zoning
in
this
neighborhood
is
neighborhood
shopping
too.
The
lot
size
is
13
633
square
feet,
the
proposes
to
raising
existing
vacant
building,
attract
a
new
27
unit,
building
in
20
and
30
parking
spaces
and
34
bicycle
spaces.
The
violations
this
first
came
before
us.
We
thought
it
was
a
zoning
compliant
as
we
the
first
one
was
parking.
AT
We
were
cited
for
maneuverability
because
we're
using
a
stat
parking
system
which
you
see
on
many
projects
today.
It
is
simply
that
the
zoning
code
hasn't
caught
up
with
technology,
and
this
one
person
at
ISD
said
is
we
don't
punish
technology?
The
other
was
loading.
We
have
a
loading
Bay,
however,
the
plans
of
us
that
we
would
have
to
back
into
the
loading
day
which
I
believe
you
have
to
back
into
every
loading
day
day.
But
you
know
that
is
I
guess
subjected
by
violations.
AT
As
I
stated,
the
building
will
have
27
units.
There
will
be
nine
two
beds
18
one
beds.
The
first
floor
will
have
a
Lobby
leasing
management
office,
trash
room
and
Bike
Room.
The
average
size
of
a
one
bed
is
765
square
feet.
The
average
size
of
a
two
bed
is
908
square
feet.
This
proposal
went
through
a
robust
article
80
process
and
was
improved
by
the
bpda
in
June
of
this
year.
AT
A
Yeah,
okay!
Well,
you
answered
a
bunch
of
the
questions,
so
when
all
said
and
done
once
again,
what
what
precisely
are
the
the
violations.
A
AT
A
Any
other
questions
that
we
have
about
the
project
in
general,
actually
we'll
don't
figure
any
antibiot
missions
all
right
well,
given
that,
how
are
the
drawings
Miss
better
for
us.
A
Is
Mr
D'amico
on
his?
She
want
to
talk
about
the
the
issues
of
the
maneuverability
in
the
loading
Bay.
Z
A
Okay
and
the
and
the
loading
Bay
the
rear,
rear
entrance.
That's
fairly
standard.
Yes,
sir.
Okay,
all
right,
okay,
anyone
anyone
want
to
testify
in
favor
of
our
opposition.
BQ
Good
afternoon
Mr,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
this
is
Danielle
Fonseca,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
As
Mr
pogini
stated,
the
project
was
approved
by
the
bpda
on
June
16th
and
during
the
comment
period,
The
Proposal
did
get
letters
of
support
in
opposition
that
was
submitted
on
the
project
page.
Our
office
has
received
two
letters
of
opposition
that
have
been
sent
to
the
board
for
review
as
well.
One
is
from
an
intermedia
of
butter
at
three
Dana
Avenue
and
the
other
one
is
from
The
High
Park
neighborhood
association.
BQ
That's
on
the
property
line
of
three
and
seven
Dana
Ave
we've
also
received
25
signatures
in
support
of
this
project,
which
again
have
been
sent
to
the
board
for
review,
stating
that
the
developers
have
had
several
meetings
with
neighbors
and
they
believe
the
project
seems
to
be
an
appropriate
use
and
will
be
a
great
addition
to
the
community,
and
at
this
time
we
wish
to
defer
to
the
board
for
judgment.
Thank
you.
A
BQ
You
Mr
Hampton
and
with.
A
Respect
to
the
issue
of
the
design
fitting
into
the
being
contextual,
the
BPD
bpda
have
any
thoughts
on
that.
C
AV
Good
afternoon,
chair
members
of
the
board,
Jordan
freyrus
here
from
Council
Ricardo
Arroyo's
office,
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this.
This
project
is
providing
almost
20
affordability,
with
million
no
violations,
and
mostly
everyone's
on
board,
with
25
letters
of
support.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
AE
Morning,
my
name
is
Cindy.
Joshust
I
am
here
on
behalf
of
Consular,
routine
Jen
and
I
will
go
for
the
budget.
Q
AQ
AQ
F
B
M
Hi,
this
is
Scott
davny
I
own,
the
building,
12
data
amp.
This
is
right
across
the
street
from
me
and
I
think
these
units
are
exactly
what
Hyde
Park
needs:
they're
right
adjacent
to
the
commuter
rail
station,
and
they
also
have
the
parking
to
support
it.
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
thing
for
enabling
it
thank
you.
AB
AQ
L
BK
L
BB
T
BA
BR
You've
been
unmuted,
yes,
hello.
My
name
is
Irene
magalidis
and
I'm
here
with
my
mother,
Joyce
Rockwell,
and
we
are
residents
at
three
day
nav
or
director
Butters
to
the
proposed
project.
So
I'd
like
to
begin
by
sharing
that
with
the
Lord
that
there's
an
ongoing
case
in
landform
regarding.
BR
Hello,
can
you
hear
me
yeah,
go
ahead,
okay,
I'm,
not
sure
what
you
heard,
but
my
name
is
Irene
michelini.
It's
at
three-day,
navs
directed
Butters
to
this
proposed
project,
so
I'd
like
to
begin
by
sharing
with
the
board
that
there's
an
ongoing
case
in
land
court
regarding
a
disputed
property
line
with
this
developer,
and
the
outcome
of
this
case
may
affect
the
design
of
the
proposed
development
and
I
would
therefore
respectfully
suggest
that
the
variance
hearing
should
be
deferred
until
after
this
case
has
been
concluded.
BR
In
addition
to
that
us
and
our
neighbors
at
16th
Ave
do
not
support
this
project.
The
folks
that
have
been
recently
speaking
are
very
surprising
and
our
new
residents
of
an
apartment
building,
built
by
the
same
developer
at
11,
Dana
Ave
we've
lived
and
owned
this
building
for
38
years.
The
proposed
development
of
the
abutting
property
will
adversely
impact
our
use
and
enjoyment
of
this
of
our
building
at
310
Ave
in
many
ways,
including
the
property
line
and
mature
trees
along
the
property
line.
BR
We've
used
this
land
without
interruption
for
the
last
38
years,
including
maintaining
mature
trees,
landscaping,
and
these
are
some
of
the
only
mature
trees
on
the
street
which
provide
canopy
in
a
very
Urban
inner
city
area.
The
overall
Green
Space
will
be
further
diminished
by
this
development.
Our
lawn
will
be
amongst
the
last
remaining
greens
based
on
this
street.
BR
It's
also
inconsistent
with
what
the
developer
has
stated
as
a
desire
to
make
the
area
more
beautiful
and
they've
already
shown
that
they
cannot
honor
their
promises
of
landscaping
and
green
space,
as
evidenced
by
what
has
been
built
at
11
day
and
have,
and
it's
inconsistency
with
proposed
drawings
that
were
submitted.
Okay.
A
BR
You
very
much
overcrowding.
We
live
on
a
small,
one-way
Street,
that's
already
the
main
exit
of
a
busy
Commuter
Rail
station.
This
proposed
project
will
add
27
units
with
parking
spaces,
but
we
believe
that
the
parking
very
will
lead
to
unsafe
parking
and
that
residents
will
prefer
to
park
on
the
street,
which
will
overburden
are
already
crowded
little
one-way
Street.
AB
AN
Mr,
thank
you.
Mr
chair
Craig
Martin
in
Colchester,
Hyde
Park
I'd,
like
the
board
to
acknowledge
that
if
there
is
more
an
appearance,
there
is
a
missed,
dimensional
violation
which
should
be
attended
to.
They
had
the
height
of
40
feet,
but
at
the
last
meeting
they
had.
AN
They
told
us
that
the
great
average
grade
level
was
negative,
two
and-
and
they
didn't
count
for
that
grade
level,
which
is
I,
don't
want
to
insult
the
board,
but
you
measure
the
height
of
the
building
from
across
the
grade
yeah.
So
indeed
the
height
there
is
a
height
violation.
Okay,
that's
crucial
in
this
neighborhood
the
tall
buildings
are
coming
up.
AN
We
don't
want
buildings,
tall
and
they're
supposed
to
be
because
the
next
one's
going
to
be
just
as
tall
or
taller
and
they're
coming
up
in
this
neighborhood
very
rapidly,
so
we'd
like
them
to
get
this
right.
Okay,.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Thanks
for
that,
Insight,
okay
to
the
board,
I
think
we've
heard
a
lot
of
testimony
can
I
have
a
motion.
Please.
E
O
I'll
second,
that
I'll,
second,
that.
BK
Q
A
Okay,
all
right
Mr
Fortune!
You
want
to
read
the
the
remand.
D
A
Fortune
before
we
go,
can
you
just
read,
what's
on
the
agenda
into
the
record,
the.
D
D
The
board
will
determine
whether
it
can
place
a
reasonable
condition
upon
the
operation
of
executive
suites
at
the
above
listed
listed
addresses
the
violations,
article
54,
section,
12,
use
and
regulation.
Executive
Suite
is
a
conditional
use
on
Hanover
subdistrict,
which
came
your
life
from
a
restaurant,
to
seven
Apartments
to
seven
executive
suites.
This
would
be
the
same.
This
will
be
the
same
for
mechanic,
Court
eleven
board
and
two
board.
Okay,.
A
So
just
a
reminder
to
the
board
that
most
of
these
proposals
for
executive
suites
because
of
the
city's
short-term
rental
ordinance,
we
have
chosen
to
deny
the
applications
in
one
case
that
this
referring
to
with
respect
to
battery
March,
which
I'm
sure
we
will
hear
about
that
from
the
proponents.
A
There
we
place
them
some
severe
restrictions.
But
let's,
let's
hear
what
the
the
applicants
have
to
say
so
go
ahead.
AR
On
behalf
of
the
applicants,
to
give
you
some
background
and
then
speak
about
the
superior
court
order,
these
units
have
been
in
place
since
2014,
where
the
applicant
acquired
three
of
the
properties.
He
is
already
on
one.
Q
AR
We
discovered,
prior
to
the
enactment
of
that
ordinance
that
they
were
not
properly
classified
at
ISD.
We
filed
the
ISD
in
December
of
2019,
but
there
was
no
hearing
scattered
for
this
until
November
of
2020
after
the
audience
took
effect.
What
we
point
out
for
you,
unlike
most
of
the
applications
that
you've
seen,
is
this
has
operated
eight
years
with
no
issues.
AR
We
had
submitted
the
original
hearing,
letters
for
over
50
abundance
of
local
residents
and
not
that
it
supported
this.
A
number
of
officials
testified
and
support
the
more
importantly
stating
the
purpose
of
the
shop
to
rent
along.
This
was
not
to
deny
existing
businesses
the
right
to
operate,
but
to
prevent
sort
of
a
new
acquisition
of
substances
Airbnb
units
we
wanted
to
draw
that
distinction
of
hearing
Superior
Court
stated
remembers
back
your
consideration
as
to
whether
this
proposal
meets
the
guidelines
for
conditional
use.
AR
We
think
we
have,
as
stated
by
the
chair,
the
board
in
another
matter,
which
is
a
New
Year's,
not
an
existence.
AR
40-36
battery
Mark
Street
to
be
similarly
opposed
on
these
units
and
I'll
just
briefly
touch
on
them.
A
Okay,
Mr
for
real
life.
No,
that's
a
thank
you,
that's
an
able
summary.
Let
me
just
sort
of
for
the
board
for
the
education
of
the
board.
Again,
we
have
typically
denied
because
of
the
city,
short-term
rental
ordinance,
who
typically
denied
these
requests.
They're.
Actually
36
battery
Market
battery
March
Street
on
May
14
2021.
The
attorney
is
correct.
We
approved
it
where
the
following
provises,
which
I
will
read
so
that
you
can
understand
exactly
what
we
did.
We
relief
was
granted
this
Africa
only
there
they
can
have
no
more
than
two
occupants
per
unit.
A
The
minimum
stay
of
four
days
is
required
and
we
have
then
have
that
staff
on
site,
at
all
times,
post,
clear
instructions
on
how
to
contact
management
and
building
entrance
and
file
a
report
with
the
board
in
one
year
short
term.
If
I
remove
short
of
my
room,
occupancying
the
length
of
occupancy
by
guess
so
Mr
ferrillo
I'm,
going
to
open
this
for
Testament
I'll,
take
some
testimony
limited
amount,
but
I
want
one
question
you
hang
on.
You
said
this
has
been
operating
for
eight
years.
A
Has
it
been
operating
with
those
with
those
kinds
of
provisions.
AR
Let
me
answer
this
right.
Mr
chair
is
in
operation.
The
answer
is
yes,
meaning
back
for
all
the
hearing
that
we
had
in
2020.
I
am
on
the
record
saying
then
that
we
went
back
and
looked
at
our
occupancy
weapons.
Q
AR
Indicated
that
the
average
say
it
was
used
was
four
to
five
base.
Did
we
require
a.
AR
E
I
just
want
to
this
is
an
existing
business
that
got
caught
up
in
the
short
term.
Housing
ordinance
has
operated
for
a
long
time
prior
to
this,
without
incident,
I
I
wouldn't
to
compare
it
even
to
battery
much,
which
was
a
new
acquisition
and
a
completely
new
thing.
I,
don't
even
know
if
that's
fair,
but
you
know
I'm
glad
they.
Thank
you.
AR
Well,
the
the
units
of
eight,
our
Studios,
eight
one
bedrooms
made
two
bedrooms,
so
the
only
units
that
generally
would
accommodate
more
than
two
people
would
be
the
two
bedrooms.
So
that's
the
one
difference
in
the
proviso's
battery
Notch
there's
a
limit
of
two
people.
We
would
ask
them
that
we
per

A
Any
other
questions,
any
other
questions
or
comments
on
the
board.
Okay,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
ask
for
some
public
testimony
but
limited
it,
because
this
we've
already
heard
this
case
and
I
don't
want
to
rehash
it
excessively.
But
so,
if
there's
two
people
want
to
speak
in
favor
and
two
people
who
are
speaking
opposition.
If,
if
people,
if
there's
interest
in
in
public
testimony
I,
will
think
about.
BS

Anyone

Mr

members
of
the
board,
Paul
Sullivan
for
city
council
at
large
medical
Authority.
Actually,
echoing
the
sentiments
of
Mr
rogerio,
the
proponent
is
a
great
neighbor
who
goes
back
to
the
city.
In
many
ways
this
is
not
Airbnb.
The
city
regs
were
not
intended
to
deny
existing
businesses
the
right
to
continue
their
Executive
Suite
uses.
Therefore,
the
council
have
to
go
on
record
and
support.
A
Okay,
are
there
any
other
electives
who
would
like
to
weigh
in
okay.
T
BT
BE
BE
Members
of
the
board
I
myself
the
fact
that
this
is
an
existing
operation
without
incident.
That
is
not
my
concern
here
and
I
seek
to
work
with
the
proponent
I
am
concerned
of
the
continue.
The
continuance
of
this
Executive
Suite
loophole
and
so
I
am
encouraging
a
deferral
so
that
the
city
of
Boston
can
be
granted
more
time
to
further
Define
executive
suites.
BE
To
prevent
this
ad
hoc
regulatory
system
of
an
inherently
transient,
State
and
accommodation
model
as
it
currently
stands,
there
is
no
nightly
minimum
and
it
is
up
to
the
board
in
your
discretion,
to
provide
conditions
right,
but
I
would
prefer
and
Advocates
within
disproportionately
affected
communities
that
the
city
developed
and
Implement
clearly
defined
requirements
for
Executive
Suite
operations,
as
it
relates
to
registration,
minimum
stay
reporting,
Wage,
Fairness
and
workplace
safety.
BE
Additionally,
I
think
executive
suites
should
be
subject
to
the
city's
imposed
Community
impact
fee,
which
assists
with
the
preservation
of
affordable
housing,
which
was
the
spirit
of
the
short-term
rental
ordinance
from
the
very
beginning.
So,
although
it
provides
us
can
be
given
and
conditions
can
be
given,
they
are
incredibly
hard
to
enforce.
Under
ISD
enforcement
is
done
through
non-criminal
disposition
of
zoning
violations,
so
it
doesn't
assist
the
community
with
any
sort
of
over
oversight.
A
Counselor
in
Europe
points
are
extremely
well
taken
and
I.
Think
all
of
us
on
the
board
would
wish
that
the
city
had
really
clear
Provisions,
because
we
don't
particularly
like
being
in
this
position
of
having
to,
on
the
one
hand,
wanting
to
enforce
the
short-term
rental
ordinance
that,
on
the
other,
having
all
having
Visa
Executive
Suite
loopholes,
which
which,
as
you
point
out
you
know
allowed
to
get.
A
The
problem
is
that
we
are
under
record
remand
and
we
need
to
act
and
I,
but
I
certainly
encourage
you
to
continue
acting
in
the
fashion
that
you
are
to
get
a
Clarity
on
some
of
these
questions
so
that
we're
not
put
in
this
position
in
the
future
but
I'm.
Unfortunately,
I
think
we
have
to
make
a
decision
today
about
then
because
of
the
Court
reman.
BE
Very
well
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
space
to
provide
comment.
I
do
think
that
this
is
a
policy
opportunity
and
I
I
can
anticipate
that
I
will
be
working
hard
with
the
community
and
ISD
to
make
sure
that
we
close
this
loophole
once
and
for.
E
E
E
Have
on-site
staff
at
all
times,
post,
clear
instructions
on
how
to
contact
management
and
file
a
report
with
the
board
about
occupancy
and
length
of
stay
one
year
from
issuance
of
the
permit?
Okay,.
A
E
AM
A
A
Yes,
Don,
yes,
Robinson,
yes,
rugero,
yes
and
I
am
reluctantly
voting
in
favor
as
well.
I.
Just
think
that
the
counselor's
comments
about
needing
to
clear
out
the
loopholes
is
is
absolutely
right.
So

the
motion
passes.

A
BN
Right,
you
want
to
tell
us
what
you're
proposing
sure
thank
you
very
much
we're
proposing
to
on
a
lot
that
is
12
928
square
feet
with
74
feet
in
Frontage,
on
Metropolitan
Avenue,
to
take
a
single
family
building
down
and
create
a
nine
unit.
Building
that
will
consist
of
eight
three
bedroom
units
and
one
two
bedroom
unit,
which
will
be
handicapped
accessible
and
the
design
of
the
building
with
the
three
bedroom
units
is
more
in
keeping
with
people
having
larger
families
and
also
having
work
from
home
space.
BN
BN
Very
recently,
a
portion
of
that
Shopping
Center
parking
lot
was
carved
out,
and
this
bullet
and
the
through
an
article,
lady
and
the
board
approved
for
550
Metropolitan
Avenue
to
create
21
residential
units
since
and
we
are
on
the
other
side
of
the
driveway
to
the
parking
lot
for
that
project.
BN
This
is
a
a
building
that
has
parking
under
the
the
what
the
building
itself
has
been
set
back
from
a
lot
in
order
to
accommodate
the
ramp
to
drive
down
into
the
lower
level
garage
which
has
18
parking
spaces.
But
the
parking
spaces
are
tandem
in
nature.
BN
The
front
yard
in
this
Zone
calls
for
under
article
69
table
c,
section
35
calls
for
a
25
foot
setback
and
the
new
building
is
42
feet
back
from
the
street
and
that's
to
allow
two
vehicles
to
be
completely
out
of
the
garage
on
the
ramp
to
ensure
a
safe
exit
onto
Metropolitan
Avenue.
When
the
cars
come
out
of
the
garage
because
the
building
abuts
the
entrance
to
the
shopping
center,
there
are
no
closer
houses
on
the
left
side
of
the
building.
BN
So
when
you're
lining
up
the
building,
there's
nothing
to
line
it
up
with.
On
the
other
side,
this
has
been
through
almost
two
years
of
a
community
process
because
of
the
fact
that
the
unique
location
it
is,
it
finds
itself
not
quite
in
any
neighborhood
association,
but
very
close
to
many
neighborhood
associations.
So
all
there
has
attended
numerous
meetings
over
the
last
few
years
and
has
had
overwhelming
favorable
support
from
those
meetings.
BN
Neighborhood
and
in
fact
he
has
met
with
all
of
the
people
on
the
street
I
believe
there
are
32
letters
in
favor
and
none
in
opposition
on
file
today
and
I
would
ask
them
what
if
they
have
any
questions.
Okay,
we
have
I'm
losing
my
voice
because
of
allergies.
I'm,
sorry,.
A
A
BN
BN
Just
I'm
sorry
Mr,
there's
an
additional
project
that
was
approved
at
996
Hyde
Park
Avenue,
not
in
the
shopping
center
parking
lot,
but
in
a
2f
5000
where,
for
example,
the
board
approved
seven
units
on
9750
square
feet
a
few
years
ago
when
people
were
left
in
that
building.
Now,
okay.
A
A
lot
looks
like,
with
the
exception
of
the
front
which
you
explained
was
for
the
ramp
to
get
to
the
garage.
It
looks
like
you're
filling
off
the
lot
pretty
completely
well.
BN
It's
it's
true
that
there
are
side
yard
violations,
but
the
shortest
side.
Yard
violation
is
on
the
side
that
you're
up
against
the
massive
parking
lot
of
the
of
the
shopping
center.
So
there
were
no
residences
on
that
side.
A
A
Y
Thoughts
about
the
about
density
I
do
think
the
project
is
dense
for
its
for
its
area.
It's
in
a
there's,
a
lot
of
one
family
house
structures
in
the
neighborhood.
A
A
O
No
questions
but
I
I
want
to
I
guess
reinforce
that
I
feel
like
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
tough
transition
from
single
family
I
understand
it's
a
shopping
center,
but
I.
Don't
think
this
project
is
mitigating
that
transition.
It's
actually
just
moving
it
closer
to
the
adjacent
single
families
and
it
does
appear
to
be
a
a
loft
full
of
very
mature
trees
that
are
actually
doing
that
transitioning.
O
Naturally
I
guess
I'll,
say
so.
I
too,
am
a
little
bit
nervous
about
the
proposal.
I
recall
the
other
project,
which
I
believe
was
behind
the
the
the
shopping
mall
like
on
the
street.
So
it
was
in
a
much
different
kind
of
I
think
context
in
terms
of
its
relationship
to
this
street
scale,
but
no
other
questions
or
comments
other
than
that
all
right.
A
Thank
you
any
other
questions
on
the
board.
Is
anyone
here
to
speak
either
in
favor
of
or
in
opposition
of
the
project.
BQ
The
applicants
did
reach
out,
as
Mr
McDevitt
stated,
to
several
neighborhood
groups
in
the
area,
including
the
High
Park
Central
River,
and
met
with
the
Hyde
Park
neighborhood
association,
but
due
to
this
project
being
so
close
to
the
Roslindale
border,
it
did
take
some
time
to
locate
which
neighborhood
group
specifically
would
cover
this
area.
The
applicants
were
able
to
get
in
touch
with
the
appropriate
Civic
Group,
which
is
the
Mount
Hope
Canterbury
neighborhood
association.
BQ
C
Yes,
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
board,
as
you
could
see
my
eyes,
it's
you
know
too
dense
for
this
kind
of
zoning
District.
It's
already
been
touched
on
by
the
discussion
within
this
hearing,
so
we're
on
record
it's
denial
without
prejudice.
A
All
right
can
I
have
a
motion.
O
A
Yes,
darling,
yes,
Robinson,
yes,
rugero,
yeah
and
I
agree
I.
Also
the
motion
passes
I
think
we
need
to
come
back
with
a
slightly
downsized
proposal
or.
A
Y
D
Sorry
next
case
calling
boa
135-2750-62
North
Beacon
Street,
just
to
convert
a
single
family
to
a
three
family
dwelling
with
Adu
base,
an
Adu
basement,
a
violation,
article
51
section
56
Osprey
parking
and
loading
article
51
Section
8
be
used
as
forbidden
article
51,
section
9.
The
fluid
a
ratio
is
excessive.
Give
an
address
for
the
record.
Please.
Y
Okay,
so
what
we
have
in
mind
is
we
have
an
existing
single-family
three-story
and
the
owner
would
like
to
convert
it
into
just
three
units
and
complete
just
like
a
basement
unit.
I,
don't
think
we're
going
to
take
away
the
Adu.
It's
just
gonna,
be
like
just
a
finished
basement
for
unit
one.
There
is
showing
like
a
little
bit
of
a
bump
out
on
the
first
floor
to.
Q
A
Q
Y
Y
AV
Y
And
then
okay,
so
that's
the
separation
right
there
at
the
stair
Landing.
You
can
go
to
the
right
or
to
the
left.
So
if
you
take
the
left
you're
going
into
unit
three,
you
go
to
the
right.
You
go
uniform,
although
it
says
unit
three
and
four,
that's
really
just
because
we
called
the
basement
unit,
one.
So,
okay.
BO
BR
Y
We're
not
gonna
be
encroaching
and
going
into
any
property
lines,
we're
not
doing
that
we're
not
doing
any
expansion
other
than
just
bumping
out
at
the
porch,
which
is
still
within
the
boundary
lines.
Okay,.
BU
A
A
A
And
the
basement
unit,
my
question
is
always
since
I'm:
not
since
we're
not
happy
about
underground
you
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
from
the
elevation
yeah.
Can
we
go
back?
What
is
the
relationship
of
the
floor
of
the
basement
to
the
grade
outside
grade.
Y
To
the
outside
great,
so
it's
about
yeah,
it's
about
four
feet
and
the
the
ceiling
Heights
rusted
like
seven
foot
two.
So
the
basement
itself
is
going
to
be
an
addition
to
the
first
floor.
So
say
you
have
like
a
finished
basement.
So
the
first
floor
only
gets
access
to
the
finished
basement.
A
A
Y
A
Think
of
this
proposal.
Y
So,
in
terms
of
unit
one
I'm
trying
to
understand
how
you
saying
to
get
to
unit
one
from
the
stairs
is
that
correct?
Can
we
move
back
okay,.
BJ
X
Y
Being
said
so,
the
drawings
are
not
accurate.
That
being
said,
I
do
see
two
doors
in
the
room
in
there.
Well,
one
is
in
the
rear
and
it
seems
like
one
is
at
the
front
yeah.
You
know
what
you're
right,
Miss
Kinsey
so
right
now
there
is
a
can
anyone
zoom
in
like?
Is
there
a
way?
Just?
Oh
okay?
So
if
we
zoom
in
yep
so
right
now
correct
so
where
it
says
unit
one
there's
a
one:
there's
a
one
door
access
right
door:
X
is
here
at
the
back.
BJ
Y

A

I
A
Can
say
what
we
she
needs
to
do
so
better

yes,.

Good

Q
A
AD
I
believe
my
council
is
supposed
to
speak
I'm,
not
sure
where
she's
right
now
but
I,
think
she's
on.
O
A
Q
BW
Yes,
good
good
afternoon,
Mr
chair,
Tanya,
trevison,
Doherty,
Law,
Offices,
50
Franklin
Street
in
Boston,
representing
the
petitioner
with
me,
is
Nancy
Lowe
from
Joyce
strategies,
who
is
a
consultant
for
the
project
and
the
project
owner
who
has
already
introduced
himself
and
with
the
boys
permission
before
we
go
any
further
into
the
case.
There
are
two
items
that
I'd
like
to
bring
up.
First
Mr
haritonian
would
like
the
board
members
to
know
that
he's
reducing
the
request
for
an
increase
in
occupants
from
31
to
22
occupants.
BW
He
will
also
impose
a
minimum
stay
for
Rogers
of
two
nights
on
the
weekends
and
three
days
during
the
week.
Secondly,
although
the
building
code
would
allow
a
total
of
31
occupants
in
this
existing
licensed
lodging
house
containing
7274
square
feet
after
several
extensive
neighborhood
meetings,
Mr
hertonian
has
concluded
that
a
total
of
22
occupants
is
more
in
keeping
with
the
neighbors
expectations.
BW
Also,
it's
important
to
note
the
fact
that
21
occupants
is
the
average
number
of
occupants
the
city
permits
and
seven
other
lodging
houses
in
the
same
h-365
residential
Zone
Adventure
is
feasible
with
22
occupants,
based
on
the
10
vacancy
rates.
Having
said
that,
the
building
at
21
Beacon
Street
holds
a
certificate
of
legal
use
and
occupancy
a
current
inspection
certificate
and
a
current
lodging
house
license
which
permits
it
to
be
legally
used
as
a
lodging
house
for
10
dwelling
units
and
11
occupants.
BW
A
So
is
the
request
today
before
us
to
change
the
increase
from
11
to
21
or
or
to
30
31.
X
A
Okay
I
mean
now
we're
at
five:
okay,
all
right.
Okay,
so
is
there
any
presentation
that
you
want
to
make
beyond
the
just
adjusting
the
requested
increase
from
11
to
22.?
Yes,.
BW
I,
just
have
a
few
other
background
notes
to
to
make
if
I
may
yep,
so
the
building
or
background
is
made
of
brick.
It's
four
stories
high
and
it
has
fire
sprinklers.
The
unit
sizes
are
substantial,
ranging
from
221
square
feet,
to
1226
square
feet
and
of
the
10
units.
Two
are
one
one
room
units,
five
or
Studios,
two
or
one
bedrooms,
and
there
is
one
two
bedroom
unit
on
the
fourth
floor
and
all
the
units
are
equipped
with
kitchens.
BL
BW
If
granted,
increase
in
occupancy
will
allow
the
building
to
be
properly
maintained,
kept
in
good
and
safe
condition
and
operated
in
compliance
with
its
license,
so
that
it
doesn't
become
a
detriment
to
the
surrounding
Properties
or
the
great
neighborhood.
Okay,
there's
been
a
survey
of
the
surrounding
properties,
which
indicates
that
there
are
a
total
of
seven
licensed
lodging
houses
in
the
area
that
are
currently
being
operated
within
the
same
residential
Zone
and
within
a
short
distance
of
the
property
and
the
average
occupant
load
for
those
seven
properties
is
21
occupants.
BW
So
that
is
in
part
part
of
it
and
granting
the
relief
would
allow
this
project
to
be
economically
feasible
for
the
project
proponent,
because
it
would
not
be
economically
feasible
to
happen.
Okay.
O
D
BW
BS
Y
BS
BS
AE
A
BS
BS
The
one
two
bedrooms
can
be
occupied
by
four
individuals.
Well,.
A
AD
The
the
work
that
might
come
later
are
just
Renovations
of
kitchens
and
bathrooms:
we're
not
changing
the
layout
or
the
floor
plans,
and
we
came
up
with
22
minimal,
based
on
the
the
number
of
rooms
we
have,
that
by
code
can
allow
at
least
one
queen
size
bed
in
in
the
room
and
if
a
couple
is
staying
in
in
that
room,
that's
two
people
and
if
there's
a
couple
staying
in
each
of
the
11
dwelling
units
in
the
building,
that's
22.
AD
So
that's
a
ceiling
correct.
We
may
we.
A
May
have
some
people
all
right.
Okay,
everybody
would
have
to
be
couples
in
order
to
get
to
that
number.
All
right,
that's
fine!
Any
questions
from
the
board.
I
mean
it's
better
for
us.
There's
not
much
Point
asking
how
the
plans
are
since
you're
not
going
to
hopefully
work
correct,
all
right
and
any
other
questions
on
the
board.
BU
Yes,
hello,
Mr,
chairman
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Maggie
van
scoy
I'm
from
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
Our
office
ran
to
a
Butters
meetings.
Considering
there
was
interest
and
unanswered
questions
from
the
community.
They
also
went
to
the
civic
association
and
the
neighborhood
association
of
Back
Bay
issued
a
letter
of
strong
opposition
to
the
project.
With
this
we
defer
judgment
to
the
board
and.
BI
D
A
BX
Good
evening,
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Anthony
Baez
and
I'm
counselor
Bob
Steve
onto
the
Back
Bay,
the
proponent
seeks
to
convert
units
currently
operating
as
environment
units
into
a
short-term
rental
hotel,
which
is
not
an
approved
use
in
the
back
baywest
Adventure
District
our
office
has
received
numerous
letters
in
opposition
and
I
should
add
that
this
is
even
after
the
proposal
lowered
their
increase
from
21
to
30.
BX
the
the
opponent
I
mean
the
residents
are
opposed
to
a
project
that
would
lower
the
quality
of
life
by
stuff.
You
know
business
in
the
center
of
a
carefully
crafted
residential
neighborhood
and,
in
addition,
approval
of
this
proposal
would
set
a
perilous
precedent,
as
there
are
30
lodging
houses
in
the
neighborhood
for
the
reason
state
accountants
are
bought,
respectfully
asked
the
Israel
to
reject
this
application.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
so
before
you
get
off,
so
the
assumption
is
that
the
the
ultimate
goal
is
to
use
this
as
a
short-term.
BX
Rental,
yes,
that
seems
to
be
the
case
again
they're
currently
operating
at
apartment
units,
and
that
seems
to
be
the
stated
goal.
Okay,
thank
you.
All.
AB
G
G
I'm
Carol
Ann
Hayes
I'm
at
274,
Beacon
Street
across
from
291
Beacon
Street.
My
main
issue
I
have
with
this
application,
is
the
expansion
of
the
lodging
license
from
11
to
22
to
allow
291
to
become,
in
effect
in
the
Airbnb
hotel,
with
an
absentee
corporate
owners,
little
oversight
and
accountability.
G
Their
short-term
rental
has
been
mentioned
will
take
away
the
stock
of
rental
apartments
available
in
the
city,
which
is
counter
to
what
mayor
Wu
wants
to
do
with
the
city
of
Boston.
This
is
a
major
factor
in
Boston
buildings
being
converted
to
short-term
rentals
such
as
proposed
for
291
Beacon
Street
are
no
longer
available
for
renters
making
our
rental
housing
and
it's
inexpensive
and
hard
to
come
by.
I
have
lived
in
this
area
for
close
to
60
years
back
when
the
Back
Bay
was
the
rooming
houses,
crime,
vagrance,
noise,
trash
and
many
more
rats.
G
It
was
not
pleasant
or
desirable
place
to
live.
There
were
muggings,
break-ins
and
murders
in
this
area.
I
went
through
a
lot
of
effort,
policing
an
investment.
The
Back
Bay
has
become
a
neighborhood
where
I
feel
safe
walking
at
night.
Greeting
my
neighbors
and
fellow
residents,
there
is
no
bedding
for
this.
Only
can
you
pay
and
are
you
not
a
criminal
okay?
We
will
have
people
yeah.
AI
My
name
is
Elliott
Laffer
I
live
at
90
Commonwealth
Avenue
in
Back
Bay
I'm,
chair
of
the
neighborhood
association,
the
Back
Bay
I
want
to
clarify
that
we
are
not
making
an
assumption
that
this
is
an
application
with
short-term
medals.
When
The
Advocate
came
to
our
licensing
and
building
use
committee,
which
he's
done
twice
with
the
larger
than
the
smaller
of
his
proposals,
it
was
very
clear
from
him
that
this
was
a
plan
for
short-term
rental.
We
have
not
opposed
that
kind
of
use
on
Newbury
Street
and
in
the
commercial
District.
AI
I
wouldn't
oppose
that
kind
of
votes
there
now,
but
in
the
residential
district.
This
is
a
misuse
of
a
space.
That's
on
a
residential
block.
We
are,
you,
know,
cheating
to
jail
between
the
residential
district
and
the
commercial
District
in
the
Back
Bay,
and
we
don't
need
to
be
bleeding
commercial
uses
into
the
residential
district.
Q
AI
They
will
be
enforced
because
ISD
can
come
and
look
and
make
sure
that
they're
doing
things
correctly.
That's
not
a
likely
way
to
enforce
the
conditions.
A
Anybody
else
and
I
think
Mr
lafrin
made
the
point
very
clearly.
Unless
anybody
wants
to
add
anything
new
I
think
that
we
probably
should
wrap
up
testimony.
Okay,.
AV
BC
Building
so
we're
just
Five
Doors
Down
on
Beacon,
Street
and
I'm
here
to
speak
against
this
proposal.
What
were
basically
I've,
attended
all
the
meetings
and
looked
at
the
information
last
night,
it's
an
Airbnb
hotel
and
yeah
okay.
A
I
I
think
we
I
think
we're
getting
we're
getting
a
pretty
clear
picture.
Anybody.
AB
R
I'm
sorry
Mr
chairman,
my
name
is
Barry
Brown
I'm,
a
resident
of
through
74
Beacon
Street.
Rather
than
and
additional
to
the
comments
made.
I
support
them
and
with
my
neighbors
opposed
this
project
very.
A
A
BT
Mr
chair,
this
is
Tom.
The
sort
of
ordinance
for
the
city
of
Boston
does
specifically
accept
lodging
houses
right.
A
E
Y
A
Has
I
mean
from
what
we
heard
from
the
testimony
and-
and
these
are
people
who've
who
have
been
before
this
board
many
times
and
kind
of
know,
our
policies,
they're
they're
comfortable
with
him
being
a
lodging
house
with
a
limit
of
11,
but
anything
else,
they're,
not
I'm,
not
I,
don't
think
I
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
think,
there's
anything
to
be
gained
by
additional
time.
V
V
A
Rogero,
yes,
yes
and
I.
Also
the
emotion
the
motion
passes
to
to
maintain
the
current
level
of
occupants
under
the
license
for
the
lodging
house.
Okay,.
D
Let's
keep
going
Mr
chair,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
did
see
in
the
chat
that
someone's
going
to
be
deferring
so
I'm
going
to
bring
it
up
again.
We
are
a
five-member
board,
so
we
need
five
members
to
be
in
support
of
the
project
I'm
going
to
call
any
anybody
who
wants
to
defer
or
withdraw
their
project
for
11
30.
If
they
can
give
me
the
address,
please.
D
AF
Afternoon,
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
George
Morenci
I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
West
Broadway
in
South
Boston
I'm
joined
at
the
hearing
by
Michael
De
Lafave
of
Road
a
architect
project
architect.
This
is
an
article
80
small
project,
which
was
approved
by
the
bbda
on
July
14th.
AF
This
is
a
property
located
at
actually
I
should
start.
The
reason
why
this
was
deferred.
Mr
chairman
is
because
the
wrong
zoning
article
was
noted
on
a
previous
refusal
letter
that
had
to
be
corrected,
but
this
is
a
property
located
1153
Washington
Street
in
dorchester's
historic
Lower,
Mills
neighborhood
at
Confluence
of
Washington
Street
and
Adams
Street.
AF
It
would
be
a
rooftop
farm
and
amenity
room
with
a
large
common
roof
deck
with
elevator
access.
The
Olympics
here
consists
of
four
one-bedroom
units
of
approximately
660
square
feet
and
22
bedroom
units
ranging
in
size
from
852
square
feet
to
1221
square
feet
governing
Zone.
Zoning
is
article
55,
as
I
said,
and
the
site
is
located
in
an
NS
neighborhood
shopping.
Zoning
sub-district
and
the
proposed
project
requires
the
following:
variances.
This
only
refuse
a
letter
site
violations
for
insufficient
off-street
parking.
AF
18
parking
spaces
are
provided,
while
the
zoning
Code
table
F
of
article
65,
which
require
35
of
the
combined
residential
and
Commercial
uses,
provided
parking
ratio,
was
determined
by
the
bbda
in
any
transportation
staff.
During
the
article
80
review
process
is
being
adequate,
insufficient
off
Street
loading
is
also
a
study
violation.
The
building's
garage
and
its
contained
uses
also
went
to
great
deal
and
towards
a
great
deal
of
review
by
the
bppa
and
city
transportation
staff,
which
were
satisfied
with
and
approved.
AF
The
current
garage
program
variance
is
needed
for
excessive
floor
area
ratio
with
proposed
that
they
are
here
2.4
and
a
maximum
under
zoning
of
one,
and
the
building
also
requires
a
high
variance
with
a
maximum
Building
height
of
40
feet
under
zoning.
Those
right
here
is
46
feet
to
the
roof
line
and
57
feet
to
the
top
of
the
rooftop
humidity
room,
which
is
said
well
back
from
all
other
plays
buildings,
height
and
massing
are
derived
from
a
careful
study
inside
context
and
urban
conditions.
AF
Architectural
in
the
building's
expression
is
regarded
almost
as
an
extension
of
the
historical
Baker
chocolate,
no
buildings
from
which
project
takes
significant
design
in
Mass
infused
and
with
respect
to
the
final-sided
violation
that
the
rear
setback,
violation
to
the
rear
of
the
site
is
the
Star
Market
site
in
the
parking
lot
of
serving
residents
of
the
baker.
Chocolate
residential
condominium
with
that
I'll
probably
take
any
questions
that
members
may
have.
Okay,.
A
AF
Yes,
if,
if
we
scroll
to
the
appropriate
page,
the
the
root
contains
or
consists
of
a
common
roof
deck,
that
being
the
case,
access
has
to
be
provided
by
elevator
and
also,
of
course,
a
Stairway,
both
of
which,
which
must
discharge
into
a
penthouse
to
be
building
code
requirements.
Humidity.
Space
is
approximately
1222
square
feet,
so
it
consists
of
some
indoor
space
on
the
roof
or
use
of
residents.
AF
It
could
also
be
for
storage
of,
for
example,
rooftop,
Furniture
tables
and
chairs
for
use
on
the
on
the
on
the
roof
deck.
So.
A
Is
it
sort
of
performing
a
double
function
of
sort
of
as
a
head
house
in
terms
of
access
to
the
roof
deck
as
but
larger
than
that
in
order
to
accommodate
storage
and
other
other
things?
That's
exactly
correct,
yeah,
okay,
all
right!
That
makes
sense.
Okay
and
in
terms
of
you
know,
you
talked
about
context
and
and
drawing
for
the
Chocolate
Factory.
A
AF
I
can't
somebody
who
can
speak
yeah
much
better
than
I
use,
Mike
delasay
for
the
architect,
so
I'll
try
to
go
to
Mike.
Okay,.
BY
Thank
you,
George
Mike,
Delafield,
Roadie,
Architects
business
address
of
535
Albany
Street,
Miss
Ambassador.
We
have
some
renderings
at
the
rear
of
this
presentation.
Would
you
be
able
to
slide
to
those
there
we
go
so
yes,
there
there
is
a
there's,
the
Star
Market
just
to
our
West
sort
of
Northwest,
and
then
there
is
a
series
of
single
story:
buildings
across
the
street
from
us
there's
a
series
of
kind
of
two
and
three
story:
buildings
and
then
Miss
Ambassador.
BY
Could
you
keep
scrolling
please
a
little
bit
more?
BY
A
little
bit
more
I'm,
sorry,
so
there
we
go
okay,
so
so
this
is
the
this
is
the
rendering
of
the
building.
We
took
a
lot
of
different
cues
off
of
the
the
baker
chocolate
factories,
particularly
the
big
Windows,
lots
of
brick
lots
of
architectural
brick
detailing.
So
the
idea
is
that
it's
sort
of
stitched
into
that
that
context.
That's
behind
us
I
believe
that
there's
another
couple
shots
here.
A
Okay,
all
right
I
mean
it's
certainly
increasing
the
the
number
of
stories
that
are
typical,
immediately
adjacent,
but
I
I
get
it
okay
Miss.
How
are
the
drawings
the.
Y
Drawing
the
drawings
are
good.
Can
you
please
talk
about
any
kind
of
sustainability
and
affordability
measures
for
the
project
you
know
like
is
this?
Do
you
have
any
affordable
housing?
BY
Yeah,
that's
that'd,
be
fine,
George,
so
So.
Currently
the
the
standards
for
what
we're
going
to
try
to
achieve
haven't
really
been
laid
out.
Yet
we
have
been
doing
a
lot
of
of
you
know.
The
building
code
is
very
strict
these
days,
so
we
are
working
towards
some
some
high
efficiency.
BY
AF
Thank
you,
Mike.
With
respect
to
affordability.
There
are
four
IDC
units
in
the
building
required
under
the
IDP
policy
would
be
three
units.
The
the
project
is
committed
to
17
affordability
exceeding
what
is
required
by
adding
an
additional
two-bedroom
unit
as
an
IDP
unit.
So
the
four
IDP
units
would
consist
of
one
one
bedroom
unit
and
three
two
bedroom
units.
Y
Okay,
thank
you
just
to
let
you
know
that
you
don't
have
that
much
surface
on
the
roof
for
photo
boutiques,
but

Q
AH
Yes
and-
and
he
told
and-
and
he
told
me
that
he
was
going
to
submit
it
so
I
don't
have
nothing
to
give,
but
you
all
pretty
much
know
what
I
did
I
just
I
already.
You
know
just
excavate,
you
know
asphalt
with
my
driveway
I
removed
the
bushes
and
fenced.
So
it's
just
a
extended
driveway
and
I
submitted
that
information
to
Robert
Domingo
already
I
thought
he
already
submitted
something
to
you
all.
A
Okay,
well,
we
have
what
we
have
yeah
Sarah
called
you.
This
is
sort
of
a
funny
funny
shape
lot
and
I.
Think
there
was
a
question
about
whether
you
could
make
it
past
the
corner
of
the
house
with
enough
with
enough
distance
as
Mrs
D'amico.
Are
you
on.
Z
Yes,
it
is,
but
it
does
work
and
I
just
wanted
to
get
my
approval
for
this.
For
this
plan.
Y
That
that's
from
very
helpful,
because
I
recall
this
project
go
coming
in
front
of
the
board
and
I
know
that
some
of
the
issues
was
whether
it
would
be
considered
front
yard
parking.
That
was
the
major
kind
of
you
know.
Zoning
issue.
A
Right
and
whether
the
driveway
was
wide
enough
to
make
it
past
that
little
corner
there,
okay.
So
as
far
as
the
BTD
is
concerned
and
Mr
D'amico
that
we're
okay,
that's
better
Verizon
any
other
thoughts.
