Madam
chair,
this
is
David.
I
was
involved
in
the
community
process
here,
Madam,
chair
and
and
members
of
the
board,
so
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
recuse
myself
from
this.
So
I'll
come
back
after
this
case
is
heard.
Thank
you.
Mr.
I
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
for
the
record
Richard
Linds
for
the
business
address
of
245
Sumner
Street
East
Boston
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
Madam
chair.
This
involves
a
article
leading
project
that
was
approved
by
this
board
back
in
2021,
although
the
record
does
indicate
this
is
our
third
request
for
an
extension
I
believe
covet
tolling
did
apply
as
part
of
this
original
I'm,
sorry
2019,
but
out
of
the
original
approval.
So
this
is
technically
our
second
extension
just
real
briefly.
I
This
does
involve
a
40
000
square
foot,
building
located
in
the
heart
of
Mavericks,
where
in
East
Boston
this
would
involve
retail
commercial
and
office
space
to
be
constructed.
Certainly
covet
played
a
role
in
some
of
the
initial
delays
that
we
had
had
this
project
that
has
been
finalized
with
the
bpda
from
a
design
review
standpoint,
and
we
believe
that
the
final
items
that
are
remaining
involves
some
licensing
issues
with
the
MBTA
due
to
the
proximity
of
the
Blue
Line
tunnel
to
this
site.
I
We're
confident
that
we
can
get
that
completed
within
the
next
extension
and
respectfully
requesting
extension
through
2024.
B
G
B
A
K
K
F
B
Yes,
yes,
and
yes,
okay,
great,
the
chair,
also
votes,
yes
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
G
The
applicants
were
representative
presence.
This
will
be
the
second
extension
request,
which
will
expire
on
March
13th
of
this
year.
Extended
new
expiration
date
will
be
March
13th
of
2024.

Jeff
Drago
with
dragon
with
Toscano
with
the
business
address
of
11,
Beacon
Beach
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
just
a
point
to
note,
I
also
believe
that
tolling
applied
for
the
first
extension
this
project-
and
you
can
hear
me
on
the
next
two
matters,
as
well
as
part
of
an
article
80,
approved
large
project
that
involved
a
phased
in
approach
to
constructing
its
multiple
buildings
on
different
sides
of
this
particular
commercial
District
involves
over
435
residential
units
plus
commercial
space
due
to
one
the
pandemic
to
design
changes
that
we
were
required
to
make,
and
then
also
just
financing
matters
during
that
period
took
a
little
bit
longer.
L
Two
of
the
buildings
just
to
point
out
are
already
under
construction
now
and
since
chain
up,
and
so
this
was
this
extension.
If
granted
would
allow
us
to
continue
the
project
to
move
forward,
which
we
are
confident
it
will
we're
ready
to
start
on
the
next
phase,
so
we
are
requesting
a
one-year
extension.

you,

seeking
a
one-year
extension
as
I
had
mentioned
before.
This
is
part
of
the
Allston

article
80
project.
This
was
a
phased
in
project
and
we
are
looking
to
continue
construction,
as
was
previously
mentioned,
which
this
would
allow
if
granted.

this

building
is
part
of
the
Austin
Square
development
project.
Give
us
an
attic,
lady
project,
if
approved
for
an
extension.
This
would
allow
us
to
continue
construction.
As
I
had
mentioned,
these
buildings
are
already
under
construction.
Now,
due
to
design
changes
and
the
pandemic
financing,
we
were
delayed
slightly.

on

of
the
applicant
business,
address
10
Forbes

Braintree.
This
is
kind
of
unique
this
the
applicant
had
purchased
this
property
off
of
the
developer,
who
got
it
permitted
they
closed
in
June.
However,
it
took
until
September
to
get
the
architectural
drawings
from
the
architect.
It
went
through
a
six-month
design
review
plan
review
with
the
bpda
and
they're
just
finishing
up
their
plans.
O

Next

we
have

the
address
of
86
to
88
North,
Washington,
Street
applicants
in
presence
or
representative
for
them.
This
is
the
third
extension
request,
which
was
fire
on
May
4th
of
20
of
this
year
and
request
us
to
extend
the
expiration
date.
The
May
4th
of
2024.
P
Good
morning
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Dennis
quilting
attorney
for
the
project
proponents.
We
are
before
you
having
made
changes
to
this
project
over
the
time
that
it's
been
before
you.
Of
course,
we
dealt
with
covertoling
throughout
the
process.
This
is
a
very
narrow,
difficult
site
in
the
middle
of
North
Washington
Street
downtown
the
the
site
configuration
made,
the
original
plans
financially
and
feasible.
P
Unfortunately,
as
we
went
through
covert
delays
Etc,
it
resulted
in
a
reduction
in
size
of
the
building
from
12
to
8
stories,
and
it's
a
it's
a
small
boutique
hotel,
which
will
now
have
42
rooms.
We
have
been
spending
our
time
well,
working
with
the
Department
of
Public
Works,
the
bpda
on
on
you
know
the
reduction
in
sculpt.
P
If
you
will,
as
we
sit
here
this
morning,
we
have
been
approved
for
a
street
lighting
plan
by
DPW
plan
to
file
our
construction
management
plan
within
the
next
two
weeks,
I've
already
filed
with
public
Improvement
commission
for
vertical
discontinuances.
So
we
are
working
well
to
get
this
project
going,
might
not
be
need
the
full
time,
but
we
would
ask
you
for
one
more
extension,
so
we
can
complete
this
project
and
move
it
forward.
P
H
K
F
R
You
great
thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is

I'm

on

for
the

thanks
very
much
for
having
us
today
and
also
for
the

My

B
It's
like
we're
having
difficulty
getting
your
slides.
Do
you
want
to
proceed.
R
R
B
A
No
I,
don't
care
I,
don't
believe
so.
Okay,.
R
So
this
this
matter
was
set
up
for
for
BFA
hearing,
following
a
request
that
we
made
in
October,
17
2022
and
the
request
I'll
first
frame
it
and
then
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
the
background
which
is
important
to
the
dis
to
the
to
the
hearing.
Here
today.
This
request
was
made
on
October
17
2022,
essentially
to
seek
the
board's
confirmation
that
A,
reduced
version
of
the
project
can
proceed
under
the
existing
zoning
relief
that
that
request
sounds
straightforward.
R
It
may
it
gets
a
little
confusing
when
I
tell
you
the
data.
The
existing
zoning
relief,
which
was
2015.
so
I,
want
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
going
through
a
chronology
which
was
shared
with
the
board
and
I'll
just
try
to
recite
it
here
and
if
it's
helpful,
to
put
it
up
visually,
we
can.
Let
me
know-
and
we
can
take
a
pause
to
try
to
do
that.
R
But
the
project
was
originally
filed
back
in
2013
for
a
14
unit,
development
at
350
and
319
West
Broadway
in
South
Boston
to
mix
mixed
youth,
commercial
on
the
first
floor,
fitness
center
and
office
space,
and
then
there
were
12
or
sorry
14
residents,
as
proposed
above
shortly
thereafter
in
2013,
a
case
was
filed,
an
appeals
filed
by
an
immediate
of
butter
to
the
Massachusetts
Superior
Court
and
that
kind
of
instituted
the
first
first
case,
so
to
speak,
involving
involving
the
project
before
that
case
got
underway.
R
There
was
an
agreement
not
to
not
as
to
a
project
that
would
be
acceptable
to
to
the
butter,
but
there
was
a
oh
perfect
I
see
that
the
slideshow,
if
we
can
go
to
the
second
page
and
just
walk
into
the
chronology
here,
you'll
you'll,
see
that
in
in
2014,
the
project
proponent
and
the
butter
agreed
to
essentially
go
back
to
the
board,
either
to
propose
a
reduced
plan
or
to
get
a
more
detailed,
robust
decision
from
the
zoning
board.
R
When
my
client
filed
began
in
2014
after
that
agreed
upon
remand
from
the
Superior
Court
they've
filed
a
reduced
project
and
it
was
actually
a
12
unit
project,
revised
development,
12
residential
units
still
maintaining
the
first
floor,
commercial
uses
and
on
January
6
2015.
This
board
issued
its
second
zoning
relief
involving
a
project
granting
the
necessary
variances
for
the
12-unit
project
to
proceed
then
came
and
I
won't
go
into
the
details.
R
A
significant
amount
of
litigation
involving
the
second
relief
that
started
in
the
superior
court
case
was
dismissed,
went
up
all
the
way
to
the
Massachusetts
appeals.
Court
came
back
to
the
superior
court
for
further
Discovery
around
the
2015
zoning
relief
in
September
of
2022
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
we
came
reached
a
settlement
agreement.
I
won't
go
into
the
details
of
it,
but
we
reached
the
settlement
agreement
with
the
immediate
of
water
and
that
settlement
agreement
resulted
in
a
further
reduced
proposal,
which
is
a
nine
unit.
R
Edition,
a
nine
unit,
residential
Edition
above
above
a
first
floor,
existing
building,
which
is
there
now
still
mixed
mixed
use,
commercial
on
the
first
floor
and
then
nine
units
above
in
October,
17
2022,
which
is
how
we
got
here.
R
So
what
I'm,
showing
you
here
on
the
slide
is
the
is
the
12
unit
project
that
was
proposed
back
in
2015
and
I'm,
largely
just
showing
this
just
for
your
own
Visual,
and
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
here
is
what's
being
proposed
now,
as
you
can
see,
it's
a
reduction
in
the
number
of
units
as
a
result
of
that
there's
a
reduction
in
the
gross
Square
livable
growth
square
footage
at
the
site,
but
everything
else
doesn't
really
change
with
respect
to
the
other
zoning
relief
that
was
granted.
R
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
site,
I'll
go
into
a
little
bit
detail
about
what
is
the
kind
of
zoning
implications
of
the
new
project
inside
I'm
showing
you
here
is
a
zoning
comparison
between
the
12
unit
project
that
was
approved
by
the
board
in
2015,
and
the
proposed
nine
unit
project
for
which
we're
seeking
confirmation
can
proceed
under
the
2015
release.
I
want
to
call
out
a
few
specific
areas
here.
You
know
first
you'll
note
at
the
very
top
we're
going
from
a
12
unit
to
a
nine
unit,
residential
Edition.
R
That's
going
to
result
in
a
in
a
reduction
of
the
total
gross
square
footage
of
living
area
from
12
779
square
feet
to
11
350
square
feet
that
that
doesn't
change
the
fact
that
we
would
have
needed
to
get
variances
from
the
minimum
lot
size
and
lot
area
for
each
additional
unit
requirements.
But
what
I
will
note
is
that
the
degree
of
non-conformance,
of
course,
is
reduced
because
the
gross
square
footage
of
the
project
is
reduced.
R
R
R
B
All
right,
I
hear
no
questions.
Javier
do
do
we
do
we
need
public
testimony
on
these
bfas.

Thank

A
A
lot

oh,
yes,

would
be
May

V
No
I
understand
the

the
fact
that

take
whatever
is
available.
Thank
you.
Thank.
K
B
B
Yes,
we
are
okay
before
you
start
I
just
want
to
remind
our
members
that
this
is
an
article
80
bpda
approved
project
with
13
out
of
31
units
that
are
IDP
units
and
for
the
Architects
and
the
lawyers.
I
will
just
ask
you
to
briefly
describe
the
project
and
focus
on
relief
sought.
Thank
you
very.
W
W
The
project
that
we're
presenting
today
represents
the
culmination
of
more
than
five
years
of
community
process,
as
the
arcs
Urban
team
seeks
to
bring
a
predominantly
affordable
housing
development
to
a
location
with
fantastic
access
to
public
transportation,
I'm
going
to
give
just
a
little
tiny
bit
of
background
for
those
board
members
who
are
not
familiar
with
the
project.
Since
2018
we've
had
more
than
30
meetings
with
elected
officials,
Community
groups
and
neighbors,
and
six
public
meetings,
including
one
just
last
week.
W
This
is
an
unprecedented
amount
of
process
for
an
article
80
small
project
review
process,
but
as
a
result
of
that
extensive
Outreach,
we
do
have
139
letters
of
support
which
have
been
provided
to
the
board.
The
project
was,
as
the
chair
mentioned,
anonymously
approved
by
the
bpda
board
in
June
of
2021,
but
in
November
of
2021.
A
prior
iteration
of
this
board
voted
against
granting
it
the
necessary
zoning
relief.
At
that
hearing,
the
board's
greatest
articulated
concern
appeared
to
be
that
the
project
did
not
provide
adequate
parking
for
the
residential
use.
W
Since
that
time,
as
the
board
is
aware,
the
zoning
code
has
changed
to
eliminate
minimum
parking
requirements
for
projects
with
significant
affordability
and
the
city's
focus
on
the
delivery
of
affordable
housing
has
increased
considerably.
So
we're
now
back
before
the
board
once
again
asking
for
approval
for
this
worthwhile
project,
which
really
does
align
perfectly
with
the
mayor's
housing
production
goals.
The
project
proposes
to
replace
an
existing
7
900
square
foot,
one
story:
retail
building
with
an
approximately
31
725
square
foot
mixed
use
project.
W
The
project
has
31
residential
units,
61
of
the
units
or
19
of
the
units
will
be
income
restricted
at
or
below
70
percent
of
Ami,
and
we
have
been
in
discussions
with
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
about
potential
dancing
for
this
project.
The
project
is
also
going
to
provide
6
500
square
feet
of
ground
floor,
retail,
which
will
be
purpose
built
so
that
the
two
long-standing
local
businesses
Who
currently
leave
space
at
the
site
can
stay
there.
W
One
of
those
businesses
is
the
Rossi
Square
theater,
that's
a
woman
in
minority-owned,
global
business
and
the
other
is
cooling
yogurt.
A
minority
owned
local
business
I.
Think
it's
important
to
note
for
the
board
that
rents
at
these
two
retail
spaces
will
continue
at
their
existing
below
Market
rates.
In
terms
of
unit
mix,
we're
going
to
have
11,
Studios
14,
one
bedrooms,
three
two
bedrooms
and
three
three
bedrooms:
the
studios
will
have
an
average
size
of
515
square
feet.
The
one
will
be
at
an
average
size
of
615
square
feet.
W
The
two
beds
will
each
be
795
square
feet
and
the
three
beds
are
each
about
1100
square
feet
in
order
to
provide
boost,
affordability
and
the
subsidized
ground
floor
retail
space
for
these
neighborhood
businesses.
The
trade-off
is
that
the
project
will
only
be
providing
one
parking
space
on
site,
and
this
is
going
to
be
an
easy
car
share
space
for
tenants
of
the
building.
W
We
are
planning
for
a
robust
TDM
plan
which
will
include
a
Transit
subsidy
for
residents
and
that
EB
car
share
space
I
mentioned
there
will
also
be
38
bicycle
parking
spaces
on
site
and
the
proponent
is
committed
to
securing
between
12
and
20
subsidized
off-site
spaces
from
local
private
property
owners
within
a
half
mile
radius
of
the
project,
I'm
going
to
briefly
turn
it
over
to
Benji
mall,
to
walk
through
a
couple
of
project
plans
just
through
the
board
and
have
a
visual
visual
of
what
we're
talking
about
Benji.
Are
you
online
I'm.
X
Here,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
the
introduction.
As
you
can
see
here,
this
site
is
at
the
corner
of
the
facility
and
Washington
Street
across
from
Adams
Park
in
Roslindale,
Village
and
right
down
the
street
from
the
commuter
rail.
It's
also
on
the
high-speed
bus
lane
that
takes
boats
from
Roslindale
to
the
Forest
Hills
T.
Y
X
Next
slide,
please
so
here
you
can
see
the
existing
improvements.
Currently,
it's
a
one-story
building
that
was
built
in
the
20s.
You
can
see
right
next
door
is
the
community
Roseville
Community
Center,
and
we
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
figuring
out
how
to
acknowledge
from
an
architectural
standpoint
this
neighboring
building.
So
next
slide,
please,
and
so
in
thinking
through
our
architecture,
which
we
we
did
over
a
few
years
here.
X
The
design
was
really
sought
to
acknowledge
the
the
architectural
features
of
the
community
building
next
door,
as
well
as
appear
from
the
street,
to
be
lower
than.
B
X
That's
fine,
so
I
guess
next
slide.
We
can
keep
going
through
the
next
slides
and
then
we
can
we're
happy
to
talk
about
parking.
X
X
Back
to
the
ground
floor
plan
scroll
back
up
yeah,
there
are
two:
there
are
two
spaces
here:
one
is
a
loading
space
for
the
commercial
businesses
and
tenants,
and
then
one
is
a
parking
space
for
a
shared
electric
vehicle,
we're
currently
working
with
the
city
of
Boston
to
have
an
additional
loading
space
on
facility
Street.
We
understand
that
traffic
is
a
concern
given
the
Sumner
School
next
door,
so
we
are
working
for.
X
We
are
working
with
the
city
to
provide
for
that
loading
space
at
appropriate
times,
as
well
as
space
on
Washington
Street
for
loading
into
the
building.
But
I
would
like
to
make
note
that
the
existing
retail
space
today
has
the
exact
same
amount
of
parking.
There
are
two
spaces
to
currently
service
the
current
retail
space.
X
So
from
a
commercial
standpoint
in
our
mind,
nothing
is
particularly
changing
here
from
the
car
improvements
of
the
site
and
we
are
making
a
strong
push
here
to
prioritize,
affordable
housing
and
supporting
local
businesses
over
parking,
and
it's
something
that
our
firm
our
servant
is
very
proud
of
across
the
city
of
Boston.
Are
our
track
record
I'm
thinking
about
Transit
from
a
progressive
standpoint?
So
if
you
go
to
the
last
slide
of
the
presentation,
we
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
transit
and
how
yep.
Z
Z
X
Up
actually
sorry,
so
one
of
the
things
that
we're
thinking
about
that
that
we
are
doing
and
other
projects
that
we
would
anticipate
doing
here
is
providing
a
monthly
stipend
to
subsidize
sit
in
a
Subway
and
in
Boston
commuter
rail
usage,
as
well
as
having
38
bicycle
parking
spaces
on
site.
We
plan
to
if
demand
necessitates,
provide
up
to
20
off-site
parking
spaces
subsidized
within
a
half
mile
radius
and
then
have
an
electric
vehicle
car
share
on
site
as
well.
X
E
X
That's
a
great
point:
this
is
going
to
be
an
affordable
housing
project
subsidized
by
both
tax
credits
likely
and
and
by
the
city.
So
there
are
specific
requirements
in
place
for
relocation
that
we
will
abide
by.
So
tenants
will
have
the
optionality
to
relocate
permanently
for
some
attendance.
There
are
four
tenants
currently
the
two
tenants
that
will
relocate
temporarily
we've.
X
We
will
work
with
them
on
finding
a
temporary
relocation
for
the
18
months
of
construction
until
they're
able
to
move
back
and
then
the
two
other
tenants
will
have
the
option
to
relocate
elsewhere
in
the
square
and
receive
subsidy
from
the
project
to
do
so,
so
something
that
we
are
certainly
will
work
through
with
the
existing
tenants.
X
X
So
it's
19
of
31,
which
I
believe
is
61
percent,
so
these
are
all
below
70
of
Ami
and
we're
still
working
on
the
subsidy,
the
subsidy
Capital
staff
to
determine
the
exact
unit
mix
but
61
below
70
of
Ami
at
the
very
least.
So
we're
very
we're
very
excited
about
that
Prospect.
Thank
you
and.
X
That
number
went
up
so
under
the
project
was
originally
being
permitted
under
the
inclusionary
development
policy.
It
was
previously
approved
under
article
80
at
40
affordability,
so
we're
thrilled
to
be
able
to
increase
that
to
over
60
percent,
based
on
our
conversations
with
subsidy
providers
over
the
past
that
18
months.
E
F
Yes
chair:
yes,
sir
good
good
morning,
Benji
a
couple
of
questions,
one
I,
guess
and
I
did
a
site
visit
over
here
over
the
weekend
too,
and
have
obviously
been
to
Rosendale
Village
many
times
you
have
lots
of
lots
of
ground
floor
commercial,
busy,
busy,
retail
residential
commercial
District.
If
you
had
to
comply
with
sort
of
underlying
zoning
requirements
for
parking,
what
what
do
you
think
would
have
had
to
change
for
this?
F
X
Magnificent
yeah
that
that's
a
that's
a
great
question,
I
think
we
we
understand
that
all
development
has
trade-offs
and
we
were
very
conscious
here
in
the
trade-off
if
we
were
to
have
to
provide
the
requisite
amount
of
parking,
there's
no
way
that
we
would
have
been
able
to
support
the
Rossi
Square
Theater,
as
well
as
one
or
two
of
the
other
local
businesses
that
will
likely
be
here
in
the
retail
component
of
the
project
will
be
very,
very
small.
F
Okay,
thank
you
for
answering
that
and
then
the
the
second
thing
is.
Could
you
just
explain
a
little
bit
the
off-site
parking
piece,
especially
with
the
subsidized
housing
component
of
it?
How
do
you
see
that
working?
Are
you
going
to
be
leasing
spaces
on
behalf
of
residents?
Are
you
just
trying
to
pair
them
up
with
it,
and
are
you
doing
that?
Just
what's
the
what's
the
driving
factor
of
you
trying
to
to
arrange
that
yeah.
X
I
think
the
driving
Factor
candidly
was
was
neighborhood
concerns
and
other
projects
across
the
city.
We
we
have
been
successful
in
decoupling,
Park
parking
costs
from
housing
and
really
trying
to
incentivize
car
free
living.
So
while
we
anticipate
that
the
majority
of
tenants
here,
it's
going
to
be
a
self-selecting
group-
will
live
here
that
want
to
live
a
car
free
lifestyle,
we
will
have
the
opportunity
to
provide
up
to
20
parking
spaces.
We
had
two
lots
where
we
were
able
to
rent
off-street
spaces.
K
X
Standpoint,
the
question
is
really
on
timing,
one
of
the
locks
that
we
had
arranged
for
in
2019.
Something
has
changed
in
that
hot
from
from
the
time
that
we
started
the
prospect,
so
we
have
basically
sought
to
a
range
up
to
20
spaces,
four
tenants
as
demand
necessities
and.
F
B
AC
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
the
time
the
mayor's
office
look
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
As
you
heard
from
the
applicant,
this
has
been
through
an
extensive
bpda
community-led
process
and
also
a
sequin
on
here
from
oh.
AC
Just
want
to
reference
him.
We've
received
a
range
of
comments.
We've
received
refusal,
letter,
opposition
letters
from
the
Roslindale
Coalition,
as
well
as
some
abundant
businesses,
citing
pipe
parking
and
the
proximity
to
the
Sumner
School
across
the
street.
AC
With
concerns
about
pickup
and
drop
off,
we've
also
received
a
lot
of
letters
of
support
from
organizations
such
as
walk
up,
Roslindale,
Roslindale,
Village,
main
streets
and
Roslindale
is
for
everyone
also
known
as
rise
as
well
as
other
business
owners
in
the
area,
citing
the
Deep
affordability
of
units
for
this
project,
community
space
that
will
be
made
available
at
the
theater
as
well
as
activation
on
the
ground
level
with
businesses.
I
believe
we've
received
close
to
80
something
letters
of
support
with
that
we
defer
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
AD
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
record.

The
proposed
4198
to
4206
Washington
Street
project
has
undergone
thorough
review
by
the
BPA,
which
culminated
in
the
unanimous
mode
of
approval
from
our
board
of
directors
on
June
10th
2021.
AD
As
it's
been
discussed,
the
project
is
facility
in
a
robust
Community
engagement
process,
which
included
an
extended
public
comment
period
of
approximately
seven
months
and
a
half
dozen
formal
and
informal
engagements
with
the
project
Neighbors
in
the
Roslindale
Community.
Additionally,
after
informing
the
BPA
of
the
increase
to
affordability,
the
proponent
agreed
to
host
an
additional
community
meeting
in
response
to
the
updated
affordability
commitment.
AD
This
project
will
appear
appear
in
front
of
the
DPA
board
on
Thursday
of
this
week
for
an
administrative
vote
to
ensure
that
their
project
is
monitored
correctly.
Given
the
increase,
affordable,
housing
commitment,
all
other
aspects
of
the
project
remain,
as
approved
by
our
board
in
2021
I'd,
be
happy
to
answer
any
other
questions.
You
might
have
a
completely

Mr
Steve
gag
I
live
at
631,
South
Street
in
Roslindale
and
I
am
in
favor
of
this
project
and
have
been
for
a
few
years
now.
I
was
the
I
was
on
the
board
of
Rosendale
Village
Main
Street
for
over
15
years
and
was
in
a
leadership
either
as
president
or
vice
president.
AG
For
most
of
that
time,
the
biggest
issue
I
heard
from
most
of
our
business
owners
and
still
is
the
case,
is
foot
traffic,
and
this
is
exactly
the
kind
of
project
we
want
to
see
in
the
business
district
is
to
increase
the
number
of
people
who
actually
are
going
to
be
shopping.
There
second
issue
I
would
address
and
that's.
My
final
issue
is
parking.
We
have
a
lot
of
parking.
We've
had
a
BTD
study
that
was
done
recently,
there's
a
lot
of
parking
in
our
neighborhood
in
the
business
district.
AG
We
have
two
MBTA
Lots,
but
we
have
also
have
a
free,
a
municipal
lot
that
is
very
close
to
this
site
and
a
lot
of
people
think
we
have
a
parking
problem
and
we
don't
have
one
so,
for
those
two
reasons,
I
think
this
is
a
great
project
and
should
be
approved.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AE
C
I
opposes
development,
31
unit
development,
I
might
add
at
4198,
Washington
Street
I
agree
with
the
zoning
board,
which
two
times
cited
violations
that
this
building
is
Too
Tall
and
too
dense
and,
and
today,
I'm
really
focused
on
the
impact,
the
negative
impact
to
the
Zoe
Street.
The
building
is
not
for
the
child
summer
school.
The
proposed
building
goes
right
to
the
property
line
of
the
city
property.
The
developer
is
planning
a
delivery
driveway
next
to
the
school
land.
C
AE
AH
Yes,
my
name
is
Elizabeth
thiege
I
live
at
51
Selwyn
Street
in
Roslindale
I'm,
a
resident
and
active
member
of
the
community
for
over
seven
years
and
I
strongly
support
this
development
project.
AH
This
will
address
the
Urgent
Boston
housing
crisis,
enhance
rosenbel's
culture
and
entertainment
opportunities
and
really
is
in
line
with
the
goals
Envision
that
community
members
have
for
Roslindale,
which
is
a
more
versatile,
diverse,
Urban
and
active
City.
The
parking
concerns
expressed
by
a
local
minority
starting
this
project
are
unfounded.
Unethical
and
illogical.
I'm
really
must
prioritize
people
over
parking
and
facts
over
fiction.
The
majority
of
rossignal
residents
and
stakeholders
are
thrilled
with
this
project
and
couldn't
be
more
supportive.
Thank
you.
AI
Yes,
I'm
calling
I'm
going
to
support.
My
name
is
Ben
Bruno
I'm
at
27,
Colgate,
Road,
I'm
I,
deeply
support
this
project.
I
voted
for
Michelle
Wu,
largely
because
of
the
positions
on
housing
and
she
was
elected
by
a
large
margin.
The
very
next
day
the
zba
at
that
time
denied
Kia
a
4
out
of
seven
vote
in
favor,
so
that
that
was
gutting
the
day
after
that
happened.
I.
AI
I
support
this
project
because
it
is
a
it
is
walking
the
walk
about,
building,
affordable
housing
and
all
of
our
communities.
So
you
know
I
I,
don't
agree
with
comments
saying
you
know
that's.
This
is
not
a
nice
idea,
but
not
here.
I
think
we
have
to
do
it
everywhere
and
as
a
Rosendale
person,
I
think
this
is
a
fantastic
project
and
we
should
do
it
right
here.
Thank
you
very
much.
Yep.
AE
AE
AE
AK
I'm
Michael
Monas
I'm
in
a
butter
I
live
on
Lindell
Street,
which
is
the
adjacent
block,
and
this
project
has
numerous
violations
as
some
which
were
mentioned
earlier,
with
the
density
and
the
No
Parking
I
I
understand
the
no
parking
is
allowed
now
because
of
the
affordability
of
the
units,
but
we
have
to-
and
you
know
there
are
existing
businesses
with
parking
issues
already,
but
we
have
to
realize
there's
going
to
be
31
residences
now
and
those
people,
if
they
don't
have
cars,
they're
going
to
have
significant
number
of
deliveries.
AK
All
those
deliveries,
grocery
Vehicles,
Amazon,
FedEx,
Ubers,
lyfts
meal
deliveries
and
so
forth
will
take
place
on
brazili
street
because
of
the
fact
that
there's
very
little
packing
on
Washington
Street
all
that
traffic
then
has
to
go
through
our
neighborhood.
Most
of
the
support
from
within
Roslindale
for
this
project
is
coming
from
people
not
in
this
neighborhood
people
who
think
there
are
no
parking
issues
need
to
come
here
during
the
day
to
see
what
is
happening
and
what
would
be
made
worse
by
all
these
trucks,
speeding,
because
they
do
speed
once
they
make
their
deliveries.
AE
AL
AL
I'm
in
a
butter
I
live
at
22,
Murray
Hill
Road
I've
been
here
for
over
40
years,
and
it's
always
been
a
problem
with
parking
here
and
I'm,
not
a
opponent
to
on
affordable
housing.
I.
One
I
think
that
we're
calling
affordable
housing
in
this
project
is
not
affordable
for
the
people
that
live
in
Roslindale.
AL
That
would
like
to
move
up
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
take
that
into
consideration
if
the
parking
is
an
issue
and
I
think
that
folks,
that
make
comments
that
not
here
in
my
backyard
I
resent
that
comment,
because
I
for
one
would
love
to
see
more
people
that
live
in
Roslindale
live
in
Archdale
be
able
to
move
into
this
building.
Thank
you
very
much.
W
I
think
that
the
one
thing
Madam
chair,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
respond.
I,
think
the
one
thing
that
we
do
want
to
emphasize
is
that
it
was
noted
earlier
this
site
currently
houses
these
local
retail
businesses
and
we
are
not
making
any
changes
whatsoever
to
the
access
of
the
parking
or
the
loading
and
also
as
Benji
mentioned,
we
are
in
discussions
with
BTD
about
finding
suitable
locations
for
drop-off
zones
for
deliveries.
W
Vasily
street
is
one
option.
Another
option
is
right
in
front
of
the
building
on
Washington
Street.
There
is
only
a
two-hour
time
period
where
that's
a
dedicated
bus
lane,
and
so
we
do
think
that
there
are
opportunities
right
in
front
of
the
building
on
Washington
for
an
alternative
delivery,
drop-off
location.
Thank.
E
H
Yes,
I'm
happy
to
support
this
I
think
it's
a
good
location
for
the
mix
of
uses
on
Washington
Street
there's
already
many
commercial
uses
and
I
think
it'll
fit
in
nicely
Mr
Langham.
F
Yes,
ma'am
and
I'd
like
to
just
make
a
couple
of
notes
that
I
think
that
there
are,
you
know
special
circumstances
here
at
this
lot:
they're
able
to
retain
some
of
the
businesses
and
to
mesh
the
historical
zoning
of
the
area
there,
which
had
made
it
so
there's
so
much
ground
level
and
Street
Front
commercial
use
there,
which,
under
you
know
current
zoning,
may
not
necessarily
have
been
been
able
to
be
done
to
meet
parking
requirements
so
that
this
relief,
that's
being
granted
does
does
allow
that
and
that
you
know
it
is
a
would
be
a
hardship
to
to
not
be
able
to
build
something
like
this
that
would
fit
in
there.
B
AE
AE
AB
AE
B
AM
Yes,
so
if
granted
I
would
like
to
take
down
the
existing
wall
between
the
kitchen
and
the
bedroom
and
to
extend
it
into
a
wider
space,
the
bedroom
was
moved
in
regards
to
my
dad,
who
needed
more
space
for
for
the
original
living
room,
and
we
won't
be
going
to
the
side
for
anything.
At
all,
I
mean
it's
just
the
wall
between
the
porch
and
the
room
will
be
taken
on.
Also
the
port
should
be
closed
in
and
then
addicted
to
the
back.
AM
B
You
can
you
confirm
that
the
work
is
strictly
internal
to
the
product
to
the
property.
Yes,
it
is
okay,
Miss,
we
will
have
you
reviewed
the
plans
I
have
and
they
are
adequate.
Any
questions
from
the

If
possible,
it
came
to
our
attention
that
the

examiner
missed
the
violation

requesting

We

deferral

deferral

AQ
Hello
I'm
chair
members
of
the
board
good
morning
to
you
all.
This
is
Mike
Ross
attorney
for
the
law,
firm
of
Prince
Lobel
business,
address
of
one
international
place,
I'm
here
with
the
architect,
Beth
McDougall,
as
well
as
Andre
Porter
from
the
team
and
our
applicant
Solomon
chaduri,
who
is
a
local
resident
of
Boston?
AQ
What
I?
What
we
have
here
for
you
today
is,
as
as
the
secretary
I
mentioned
in
article
80,
a
small
project
review
filing.
It
was
approved
by
the
bpda
board
on
October
13
2022..
It's
currently
an
approximate
10,
000
square
foot,
bacon
parcel
at
the
corner
of
Bowdoin
and
Geneva
streets.
AQ
It
has
an
extreme
slope
that
goes
towards
the
back
of
the
property
into
the
hill,
where
there
are
several
other
Parcels
I'll
show
you
in
a
bit.
What
we're
proposing
here
is
a
38
unit,
mixed
use,
property
with
ground
floor,
retail,
nine
parking
spaces
and
42
bicycle
spaces.
It's
a
five-story
building.
AQ
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
can
give
you
a
little
more
detail
so
also,
and
I
just
also
want
to
point
out
there's
a
private
road
that
runs
along
the
side
there.
On
the
right,
that's
called
Cedar
Ave
and
so
that's
private,
and
that
will
be
how
we
access
the
the
nine
parking
spaces
is
also
convenient
for
loading
and
pickup
of
trash
Etc.
AQ
And
what
you
see
here
is
the
ground
floor.
Retail
at
1600
square
feet
the
ground
floor,
retail
will
be
subsidized,
it
will
be
you'll
have
a
500
subsidy
that
it
carries
every
month
as
part
of
the
development
itself,
so
that
will
allow
for
access
to
the
more
retailers
from
the
immediate
area.
AQ
I
think
that's
good
I've
got
a
slide
two
if
I
go
to
the
next
slide.
Rather
so
what
we
have
is
we're
going
to
start
to
kind
of
build
the
floor
plans
from
the
first
second,
third,
fourth
and
fifth
floors.
AQ
So
I,
can
you
can
kind
of
just
go
through
that
and
I
just
want
to
tell
you
what
the
unit
mix
is
as
Madam
basser.
You
slide
through
three
and
three
through
seven
slowly,
so
we
have
one
studio
in
this
project.
It's
a
522
square
foot,
Studio
There
are
16
one
bedrooms
that
range
between
636
and
838
square
feet,
and
then
there
are
five
one
bedrooms
that
also
have
an
office.
So
it's
a
one
bedroom
plus,
if
you
will
and
those
range
from
8
30
to
9
43..
AQ
There
are
nine
two
bedrooms
in
the
project
and
then
and
they
range
from
851
to
955,
and
there
are
three:
there
are
seven
seven
three
bedrooms:
seven
three
bedrooms
in
this
project:
one
thousand
to
eleven.
Fifty
six.
AQ
Units
there
are
seven
IDP
units
in
this
project,
so
that's
about
18
and
a
half
percent
and,
as
you
might
notice
on
the
fourth
and
fifth
floor,
there's
a
step
back
and
I'll.
Show
you
in
the
elevation
it'll
be
a
lot
easier
to
to
show
you,
but
there's
also
balconies
on
almost
all
the
the
units
you'll
see
on
this
slide.
Here
is
our
roof
plan,
where
there
are
photovoltaic
solar
panels
panels
and
Mechanicals
on
that
roof
plan.
AQ
The
next
slide
will
show
you
an
elevation,
and
this
is
good
to
kind
of
show
you
that
setback
I
was
referring
to
this
is
your
front
elevation.
The
next
slide.
I'll
show
you
the
side.
Elevation
I
want
to
point
out
just
here
a
couple
things
so
here
on
this
side,
you
can
see
how
the
building
itself
is
kind
of
built
into
the
hillside
there,
so
that
ground
floor
is
actually
according
to
zoning
is
considered
a
basement
because
it's
covered
by
more
than
35
percent
ground
cover.
AQ
So
really
what
we
have
is
is
a
basement
on
top
of
I'm.
Sorry,
five
floors
on
top
of
that
basement,
just
because
of
the
the
terrain
that
surrounds
it,
but
this
will
at
the
at
this
portion
of
the
side.
That's
where
we'll
be
cut
back
a
bit
and
you'll
have
access
to
those
nine
parking
spaces
on
the
garage
and
that
what
you're
looking
at
there
is
is
that
cedar
app
street
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
I'll
point
out.
AQ
You
know,
there's
plenty
of
balconies
and
outdoor
space
there
and
there's
also
on
the
second
floor
right
there,
or
in
the
first
floor,
rather
there's
a
door
there
that
door
just
leads
out
to
an
amenity
for
the
for
the
for
the
residents
so
that
they
also
have
access
to
outdoor
space
like
a
common,
a
common
deck
that
I'll
show
you
a
little
bit
more
in
a
second
I
think
we
have
a
couple
renderings
now
just
to
show
you
yeah.
AQ
Sure
yeah
I
mean
so
I
can
I
can
cut
right
through
the
violations?
Well,
let
me
let
me
just
like
a
quick
be
worth.
We
only
have
a
few
more
slides
here
and
I'm
sure
and
I'll
go
straight
to
the
violations.
Just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what
what
it's
going
to
look
like
when
built
a
rendering
here,
we
can
go
through
the
next
one,
that's
from
the
corner
again
that
Cedar
Ave
up
along
the
side
next
slide,
please.
This
is
from
from
that
rear
view
that
I
referenced
earlier
next
slide.
AQ
Please-
and
this
is
from
the
other
side
again
that
you
can
see
that
way,
I'm
coming
up
and
next
slide.
Please
let
me
just
quickly
show
you
just
these:
are
the
parcels
I
references,
Boston,
Edison,
Parcels
behind
us
and
there's
a
city
of
Boston
Park
up
on
the
kind
of
the
top
there
at
the
top
of
the
hill
called
Geneva
Cliffs,
the
Cedar
Ave
will
actually
provide
access.
What
were
you
planning
to
do
on?
The
next
slide
is
we'll
be
building
in
a
sidewalk
that
you
can
show
here.
Oh
well,
those
are
existing
conditions.
AQ
So
it's
a
vacant
spot.
It's
vacant
lot,
there's
nothing
there
right
now,
just
trees,
we're
going
to
remove
14
degrees,
but
Place
22,
new
trees,
so
net
increase
trees
on
the
site.
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide
next
slide.
Please
and
there
you'll
see
that
sidewalk
that
we're
creating
kind
of
access
up
to
the
park
itself,
you're
seeing
three
new
Street
trees
on
this
slide
here
and
lots
of
plantings.
That's
that
residential
area
in
the
back
that
I
referenced
and
the
next
slide.
If
you
could,
this
just
shows
you
a
section.
AQ
It
shows
you
that
topography,
how
we
are
built
into
the
hill
and
the
five
floors
next
slide.
Please
yeah
and
that's
just
some
detailing
so
ma'am
chair.
You
asked
about
the
violations,
so
we
have
parking.
You
know
this.
Is
they
want
1.5
for
each
of
the
units?
This
has
nine
nine
total
parking
spaces.
One
of
those
Spartan
spaces
will
be
a
shared
car.
It
was
part
of
the
agreements
of
bpda,
so
there
will
be
a
lot
of
people
using
that
shared
car.
AQ
We
recited
also
for
off
Street
loading,
although
Cedar
Ave
will
make
an
excellent
loading
area.
There's
no
internal,
you
know
capital
L
loading
Bay
in
the
building,
the
use
itself,
a
multi
family
residential
is
actually
conditional
in
the
local
and
local
convenience
sub-district
here
in
the
Dorchester
neighborhood
District,
there
are
some
dimensional
regular,
some
dimensional
variances
the
far
here.
It
would
be
otherwise
be
a
1.0.
According
to
zoning,
we're
just
over
for
the
building
height,
we
are.
It
calls
for
40.
this.
AQ
The
building
height
from
the
first
to
the
top
floor
is
54
and
a
half
feet
off
the
back.
If
you
counted
it
from
the
front
which
zoning
wouldn't,
but
just
so
you
know
it's
66
and
9
inches.
The
rear
yard
would
normally
call
for
20.
we're
just
at
10
at
the
at
the
narrowest
corner,
actually
nine
and
nine
inches
and
then
I
think
about
14
at
the
at
the
farthest
corner
opens
I
think
we
almost
I
think
we
have
the
open
space,
but
we
were
cited
for
open
space.
AQ
It's
close
1900,
we're
very
close
to
that
number
and
those
are
the
violations
that
we
were
cited.
I'll
pause
there
Madam
chair
for
any
questions
or
comments.
Thank.
B
You
and
I
have
to
say
I've
actually
been
to
that
site
myself
in
prior
to
this
and
and
walked
up
that
Geneva
Club.
So
it's
great
to
see
you
it's
great
to
see
this
coming
to
life
and
livening
up
the
area.
Any
questions
from
the
board.
F
Has
this
undergone
parks
department
review
yet
or
will
that
come?
Will
that
come
later,
I
know
that
there's
some
agreement
to
make
a
contribution
I.
AQ
I
yeah
there's
an
agreement
contribution
I
think
they
participated
in
one
or
two
of
our
meetings,
but
the
form
that
we
got
to
get
signed
I
don't
think
they
usually
like
that
at
the
end
of
the
process,
after
after
zoning
after
bpda,
so
that
actual
form
still
waiting
for
sign
on.
F
Right:
okay,
thank
you
and
then
has
there
been
any
consideration
of
helping
to
subsidize
Transit
passes
at
all,
given
the
limited
parking
nature-
and
you
know
the
access
to
bus
routes.
AQ
Yeah
I
mean
this:
is
you
know
what
dissonance
to
the
red
line
and
indigo
lines,
and
there
are
two
bus
passes
that
go
through
it
as
a
part
of
the
project,
I
mean
two
bus
stops
that
go
run
run
by
it
as
a
part
of
the
project.
We
agreed
to
subsidize
a
shelter
or
put
money
towards
a
shelter
that
number
I
think
it's
like
20
000
I
can
pull
it
up
here.
We
might
be
able
to
that's
fine,
twelve
thousand
dollars.
AQ
That's
it
so
we're
subsidizing
the
cost
of
the
shelter
for
twelve
thousand
I.
Don't
think
we
have
any
subsidies
for
like
a
bus
permit
for
the
residents
on
this
particular
project.
Okay,.
F
H
AQ
Yeah,
well,
you
could
probably
go
I'm
an
ambassador
to
the
group
to
the
floor
plan
that
shows
the
parking
just
as
we're
talking
about
it.
We
we
there
are.
No,
you
know,
none
are
related
to
the
unit.
So
it's
going
to
be
driven
by
residential
preference.
AQ
There
is
a
requirement
for
I
believe
one
parking
space
for
the
retail
spot,
but
I
guess
it
really
will
depend
what
goes
there.
I
mean
it
could
be
a
community-based
office
in
which
case
that
you
know,
probably
you
know
someone
from
the
community
working
there,
which
we
might
not
need
the
parking.
So
it's
it's
fluid
at
this
point.
We
do
not
have
any
assignments
at
this
point,
except
for
that
shared
parking,
and
this
shared
parking
would
be
available
to
all
the
residents.
AQ
They
would
be
able
to
sign
out
when
they
want
to
use
the
shared
parking.
H
AR
AQ
A
little
bit
Yeah,
so
there
will
be
accident
just
scroll,
a
teeny
bit
down
man,
but
there
you
go
so
it
it's
initially.
We
had
it
going
straight
out
to
the
back,
but
it
was
a
little
bit
too
permeable
to
the
to
the.
You
know
that
it's
not
Parkland
right
now,
it's
owned
by
Boston
Edison,
but
maybe
in
the
future,
will
be
Parkland,
so
it
was
thought,
that's
just
to
contain
our
project
so
that
there's
not
bleeding
into
what
might
be
future
Parkland
in
the
future.
AQ
AS
This
project
fell
between
two
Civics.
Our
meeting
hotel
and
greater
golden
Kidney
Association
meeting
household
did
show
full
support
on
this
project.
While
we
were
greater
boating,
Singapore
Association
hasn't
come
to
a
quorum.
At
this
time
we
took
right
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Manager.
B
Thank
you,
Quinn
from
bpda.
AD
AT
Thank
you
good
morning,
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
from
the
office
of
council
for
Iowa
and
the
applicant
for
120.
Otis
Street
received
full
support
from
those
from
the
beating
house
Association,
but
greater
Bowden
in
Geneva.
They
have
their
meeting
yesterday.
They
didn't
have
enough
members
present
to
vote
and
come
to
a
forum.
So
the
council
would
like
to
defer
to
the
the
board.
AD
Great
thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
again
my
name
is
Quinn
balsich
I'm,
a
project
manager
at
the
bpda.
This
project
completed
the
article
80
review
process,
including
two
BBA
sponsored
public
meetings.
It
was
approved
by
the
bpda
board
on
October
13
2022.
I
wanted
to
emphasize
the
planning
review
that
went
into
the
bpda
determination
at
this
level
of
height
density
is
appropriate
for
this
location
and
in
our
view,
we
deserves
zoning
relief.
AD
This
project
received
additional
design
Focus
given
its
prominent
location
in
its
community
and
was
viewed
by
our
planning
staff
as
a
gateway
to
this
Corridor.
It's
in
compliance
with
the
Fairmount
Indigo
planning
initiative,
Four
Corners,
Geneva,
Ave
station
area
plan,
it's
completed
in
2015.,
and
it
meets
the
goals
of
the
plan
to
redevelop
larger
vacant
sites
and
proximity
to
Commuter
Rail
station
at
an
increased
level
of
density.
AD
AD
Income,
housing
and
a
community
that
perceives
relatively
low
to
open
interest
at
this
scale
and
will
include
family
sized
units.
At
the
request
of
the
community
and
elected
leaders,
the
BPA
staff
found
the
project
to
be
consistent
with
the
city's
goals,
and
the
project
is
the
full
support
of
the
agency
in
the
court.
The
project
also
received
support
for
many
members
of
the
community
throughout
the
process,
as
well
as
the
voting
Geneva
main
streets
organization
and
Council
worrell's
Office
in
the
review
process.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank.
AN
Hi,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
go
on
and
support,
and
thank
you
for
that
presentation.
Attorney
Ross
that
was
informative,
so
and
I
know
the
neighbors
that
I've
spoken
to
are
in
favor,
so
I
want
to
go
on
record
of
support.
Thank
you.
AV
AW
AJ
AY
Good
morning
my
name
is
Jen
parte
I'm
at
84,
China
Wanda
Street
in
Fields,
Corner
I,
wanna
I
will
defer
to
the
comments
from
bpda.
They
articulated
well
all
of
my
support
and
add
that
this
building
has
been
through
at
least
three
significant
redesigns
in
response
to
community
feedback.
So
we
appreciate
the
developer
working
with
us
to
get
an
excellent
project
off
the
ground.
Thank
you.
AY
AB
AF
E
AZ
BA
Yes,
support
briefly
32
Dixon
Street.
This
is
an
area
that
needs
to
be
here,
but
it
needs
to
be
revitalized
and
going
in
housing
yeah.
So
everything
that
was
said
before
our
mission
support.
Thank
you
great
thank.
B
You,
okay,
any
other
questions
from
Paris
and.
AV
Morning
I
represent
my
name:
Sirius
Hardware
I
represent
the
Fulton
engineer
for
main
streets
and
due
to
all
of
the
benefits
to
that,
this
project
brings
origin
of
the
main
streets
is
not
against
this
project.
B
Don't
know
prayers
I'm
going
to
get
tested,
I
think
we
get
the
idea
on
support,
so
I'm
yeah
I
think
we're
I
think
we're
good
any
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
If
not
may
I
have
a
motion.
K
K
B
BB
BB
Hi,
my
name
is
Navan
Fortuna
I
am
a
licensed
architect
for
Pro
Design
Architects
out
of
50
Grove
Street
in
Salem
Massachusetts,
representing
Mr
Melvin
Vasquez
is
actually
here.
You
could
add
into
balancing
analysis,
so
he
could
also
speak
the
project.
Basically,
it's
utilizing
an
empty
lot
that
right
now
it's
not
functional
in
any
way
shape
or
form.
So
the
the
owner
is
actually
a
member
of
the
community.
I
mean
starting
out
as
a
developer
from
within
the
community.
We
had
met
with
the
borders
already
and
there
was
no
opposition.
BB
We
informed
the
neighborhood
association
of
the
project,
but
we're
not
able
to
get
any
responses
regarding
a
meeting
with
them
and
we
had.
We
had
already
scheduled
this
meeting,
so
we
decided
to
just
proceed
and
come
into
the
zba.
Unfortunately,
we
just
were
able
to
communicate
neighborhood
association,
so,
like
I
said,
the
project
is
going
to
be
realizing
that
empty
lot.
That,
because
of
the
size,
shape
and
form
is
it
hasn't
been
functional
and
looking
at
the
neighborhood.
BB
Those
are
some
of
the
pictures
of
the
buildings
within
the
community
that
we
that
we
looked
at
the
owner,
expressed
his
desire
of
maintaining
a
similar,
look
and
feel
within
the
neighborhood
and
the
community,
and
and
that's
exciting
about
what
it
is.
It
is
three
dwelling
units.
BB
Stacked
with
as
many
bedrooms
as
we
could
possibly
put
in
there
because
we
we're
trying
to
cater
to
families
to
be
families,
there
are
a
lot
of
micro
units
and
things
like
that.
But
there's
there's
just
not
this
small.
You
know
places
where
families
can
actually
grow
and
stay
and
the
violations
that
we
have
identified
here
are
the
employer,
aeration,
the
phone
jar,
the
side
yard
and
the
rear
jar.
BB
The
rear
yard,
mostly
because
of
that
wheel,
shape
at
the
back
basically
has
a
little
a
leg
that
is
deeper,
but
it's
not
fully
Square,
as
all
of
the
other
Lots
will
be.
So
that's
essentially
a
hardship
within
this
lot.
That
is
unique
to
this
lot
so
and
yeah.
So
that's,
basically
a
General
view
of
the
project.
Again
is
three
three
units
the
basement
will
be
shared
and
utilized
or
mechanical
and
office
for
the
management
of
the
building
mailing
you
can.
BB
You
can
speak
to
the
project
too
and
what
it
means
to
you
as
a
developer
from
within
the
community
to
which
is
Something
That,
Flow
Design
focuses
on
as
as
Architects.
Here
we
want
to
increase
diversity
in
the
field
of
construction
architecture
and
design,
and
those
are
the
clients
that
we
attract
in
the
plans
that
we
love,
because
we
need
more
diversity,
not
just
from
the
industry
and
the
builders
and
and
the
contractors,
but
also
the
Architects
and
developers
that
we.
B
Okay
with
that
I'll
open
it
up
to
testimony
good.
BC
Morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Eric
James
of
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
applicant
for
57
Nightingale,
had
no
Butters
meeting
on
December
20th
of
last
year.
They
did
not
present
to
the
top
Howard
triangle.
They
did
send
an
email
on
the
5th
of
December
requesting
a
meeting
date,
but
they
were
not
successful,
successful
in
scheduling
the
meeting.
So
as
of
now,
we
have
zero
letters
oppositions
there
are
a
little
support
for
this
project
and
with
that
we
would
like
to
refer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you.

No
letters

the
side
on
the
right
side
of
the
building.
It's
a
pre-existing
non-conforming.
So
we
are
proposing
four
feet
and
we
are
short
on
the
usable
open
space.
BD
With
regard
to
the
units
Madam
chair,
bedrooms
baths
and
each
unit
is
approximately
1100
securities,
I'm
gonna
stop
there
and
entertain
any
questions
that
the
board
may
have.
Thank.
BC
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Eric
James
of
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
again
so
the
applicant
for
17
Mascot
Street
had
the
butters
meeting
on
September
15th
of
last
year.
BC
They
met
with
the
great
amount
of
pan
neighborhood
Council,
which
recommended
the
proponent,
improve
upon
the
recommendations
to
improve
the
proposal
by
reducing
the
number
of
parking
spaces
from
three
to
two
due
to
them,
feeling
that
they
would
not
be
able
to
have
I
guess
if
people
would
not
be
able
to
get
in
and
out
of
the
space
every
day
with
the
three
parking
spaces.
So
they
would
like
that
reduction.
BC
Outside
of
that,
we
have
received
no
letters
of
support,
no
letters
of
opposition
for
this
project,
and
so
we
are
deferred
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

We
are
proposing
the
Dragway
yard-
yes,
11
foot
drive,
drive
side,
driveway
on
left-hand
side
of
the
building
and
we're
proposing
three
parking
spaces
in
the
rear,
they're
going
to
be
condos,
so
we
were
hoping
to
get
one
space
per
unit.
Okay,.
B
Okay,
here,
none
may
I
have
a
motion.
BE
G
Chair
will
approve
with
approval
with
the
proposal
that
the
plan
to
be
submitted
to
to

for

Yes,
thank
you
good
morning
now
I'm
chair
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Today,
Susan
Chu,
with
Dorchester
Bay
Economic
Development,
Corporation,
594,
Columbia,
Road
Dorchester,
presenting
on
behalf
of
the
project
proponents
Dorchester,
Bay
and
preservation
of
affordable
housing,
which
are
both
non-profit
developers
that
do
work
in
the
Commonwealth.
BF
With
me
today,
presenting
are
my
colleague
from
Dorchester
Bay
Beth,
O'donnell
attorney,
Joe
leaver,
applying
Hornet
and
architect
David
Lee
of
snow.
Only
our
project
is
Columbia
Crossing
located
at
568
to
574
Columbia
Road.
It
is
a
culmination
of
over
two
decades
of
community
and
city
planning
for
upham's
Corner.
The
project
itself
is
a
mixed
use:
mixed
income
all
affordable
housing
development
opposed
for
an
urban
info
site.
The
project
proposal
includes
the
creation
of
48
new
units
of
rural
rental
housing
targeted
to
households,
earning
30
to
80
Ami,
including
artist
housing.
BF

BG
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
on
the
board
Joseph
Lieber
from
Klein
hornig
business,
address
of
101
Park
Street
in
Boston
I'm,
just
going
to
give
a
a
really
quick
description
of
the
of
the
project
just
to
set
up
the
discussion
of
the
zoning
route
and
then
David
Lee.
The
architect
will
speak
more
about
the
design
elements
after
May,
but
you
know
the
the
existing
historic
Dorchester,
Savings
Bank
is
being
retained
and
rehabilitated
for
community
and
arts
uses,
but
to
the
left
of
the
existing
building.
BG
Next
to
the
drive
aisle,
there's
going
to
be
an
addition
added
that
that's
we're
calling
the
glow
box.
It's
a
glass,
enclosed
commercial
space.
That's
going
to
be
visible!
You
know
from
the
street
with
the
lights
in
the
interior,
there's
an
L-shaped
addition
to
the
rear
where
the
48
Affordable
Weddings
are
going
to
be,
and
the
existing
Drive
aisle
is
going
to
remain
going
to
be
used
for
access
to
the
to
the
parking
in
the
rear.
BG
So
just
with
that
background,
I
want
to
just
mention
the
release.
That's
needed.
There
are
a
couple
of
conditional
uses,
artists,
mixed
use
in
the
in
the
in
the
residential
space
in
the
rear
and
art
use
in
the
commercial
space
in
the
front.
The
precise
art
uses
are
not
yet
determined,
but
there
will
be
some
Arts
oriented
uses
in
that
area
and
this
this
relief
will
allow
that
to
proceed.
BG
We
need
a
variance
for
far
the
maximum
allowed
is
1.0.
We
have
approximately
2.89
so
with
75,
directly
75
000
square
feet
of
building
space
and
approximately
26
000
square
foot
lot
area.
BG
So
we
need
a
height
variance
67
feet
where
the
maximum
allowance
is
40..
We
need
a
variance
for
useful
open
space.
The
requirement
is
50
square
feet
per
dwelling
unit,
which
amounts
to
2400
square
feet.
We
are
providing
500
with
perhaps
a
little
bit
more
on
the
exterior,
depending
on
some
on
the
way.
It's
counted:
rear
yard,
there's
a
requirement
of
20
foot
in
in
most
of
the
portions
of
the
rear
yard.
We
exceed
20
feet,
but
there
is
a
a
small
portion.
BG
BG
BG
We
are
also
subject
to
Neighborhood
design,
overlay
District
review,
but
that's
been
addressed
through
the
lady
process,
but
we
do
need
a
variance
for
that
and,
finally,
for
Street.
Well
continuity.
The
building
is
going
to
be
set
back
a
little
bit
further
from
the
sidewalk
from
other
buildings
on
the
Block
to
increase
pedestrian
safety
and
pedestrian
flow
for
the
commercial
space
entry.
AZ
The
building
is
located,
I
I
would
speak
very
briefly:
architectural
and
urban
designer
for
patients.
The
new
building
is
Right
From,
The
Heart
of
the
upcoming
Square,
evolving
arts
and
Innovation
District.
The
basic
concept
is
to
really
build
upon
the
iconic
Dorchester
Savings
Bank,
building
beautiful
Art
Deco
type
building.
AZ
As
you
can
see,
there
was
an
unfortunate
two-story
addition
to
it,
built
sometime
back
in
4050s,
but
anyway
we
plan
to
take
that
down
and
replace
it
with
the
transparent
element
which
we
call
them
glow
box
that
will,
along
with
the
bank
itself,
be
rental
to
archboard
in
the
commercial
users.
In
addition,
that's
going
to
give
us
a
chance
to
add
some
open
space
on
a
corpus
Plaza
which
will
be
available
for
outdoor
meetings
that
will
serve
its
neighborhood
very
much
next.
AZ
AZ
You
know
we're
going
to
have
a
minimum
number
of
parking
spaces
level
19.
Overall,
you
can
see
that
the
global
cassette
back
just
a
little
bit
from
the
facade
bank,
which
allow
some
much
greater
visibility
for
pedestrians
and
for
cars
coming
onto
the
closet,
but
that
closet
mode
of
residence.
AZ
It's
your
general
difficult
side,
we're
having
plans
yet
still
standpoint,
but
also
are
affordable.
Economic
sense.
AZ
Of
slight
issues
with
topography,
not
military,
challenging
and
we
will
be
addressing
those
and,
as
you
can
see
in
that
little
shot
in
the
middle,
we're
actually
going
to
open
that
up
a
lot
more
so
that
they'll
be
greater
difficult
foreign.
B
Thank
you
just
so
we
we
did
receive
some
comments
about
delivery
and
parking
issues
with
the
abutting
businesses.
I'm
wondering
if
want
to
be,
can
address
that.
BF
BF
B
Okay
may
may
I
hear
public
testimony.
AD
Thank
you
again,
one
last
time
this
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Glenn
ballast
project
manager
at
the
BPA,
the
Columbia
Crossing
project
underwent
a
thorough
review
process,
including
four
public
and
impact
Advisory
Group
meetings.
The
BPA
board
unanimously
approved
this
project
on
November
17
2022..
AD
The
proposed
project
makes
significant
progress
towards
realizing
planning
goals
outlined
in
the
opportunity
station
area
plan,
including
those
of
developing
mixed
income,
housing
near
the
Main
Street
Station
area,
protecting
existing
Community
assets
and
historic
buildings
in
Uplands
corner,
strengthening
and
active
and
walkable
Main
Street
district
with
residential
uses
and
promoting
public
art
and
activities
that
reinforce
the
district
as
a
destination
for
cultural
events.
The
project
will
provide
much
of
much
affordable
housing,
artist,
housing,
affordable
community
space
and
preservation
of
the
Dorchester
Savings
Bank,
and
is
why
the
BPA
board
voted
to
approve
this
project.
AW
AS
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
actually
goes
with
services
at
this
time.
There
are
no
on
the
web
concerns
of
this
project.
We
went
to
the
first
before
at
this
time.
Thank
you.

I'm,
the

main
streets
and
I'm.
Also
a
long
time
resident
of
the
neighborhood
and
Main

is
fully
supportive
of
this
project
and
looks
forward
to
seeing
it
be

Thank
you,

and
members
of
the

John

executive
director
of
Dudley

neighborhood
initiative,
550
Dudley

in
Roxbury.
U
We,
on
behalf
of
our
work
group
for
support
groups,
we're
confident
that
this
Columbia
Crossing
project
will
contribute
to
anchoring
the
upham's
corner
arts
and
Innovation
district,
and
we
believe
that
you
know
through
the
community
process
that
they
have
done,
and
we
have
been
a
partner
with
them
in
this
and
also
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
that
they've
really
answered.
You
know
many
of
the
questions
that
will
post
in
this
RFP,
specifically
around
development
without
displacement.
U
You
know
and
focused
development
in
terms
of
building
out
more
housing
in
this
area,
that's
needed,
and
especially
their
diversity
and
inclusion
plan.
So
again,
we're
in
full
support
of
this.
Thank
thank
you.
So
much.
BI
Dated
duraco
14
Virginia

directly
behind
the
project
and
I
I
I'm
in
favor
of
it,
but
I
think
the
apartments
the
number
of
Apartments
need
to
be
reduced.
The
building
is
higher
than
any
other
building
around
and
it's
too
close
to
the
you
know
to
look
to
my
property,
it's
very
close
into
my
two
abutting
neighbors.
It's
the
same
thing
and
we're
all
you
know
with
like
the
building
reduced
a
couple
floors,
and
you
know
not
so
close
to
the
property
line.
Thank.
BJ
Hi
good
morning,
can
you
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
okay!
Thank
you,
I'm
having
problems
with
my
audio
sorry
hi.
This
is
Val
Daley
from
upham's
Corner,
Main
Street,
and
we
are
in
support
of
the
Columbia
Crossing
project.
This
project
development
focuses
on
maintaining
affordability
for
local
residents,
providing
an
artist-centric,
Community,
Civic
and
commercial
space
for
residents
and
artists
in
upham's
corner.
This
project
is
also
an
important
component
in
the
city's
vision
for
the
continued
Redevelopment
of
bubble's
Corner,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
the
planning
of
the
Arts
and
Innovation
District.
Thank
you.
Thank.

Hi,
how
are
you
this
morning?
I

Can
you
give
your

Oh
I'm?
Sorry
I'm,

My

We
are
also
the
owners

Hi
good
morning
my
name
is
maca
brawl.
I
am
at
16
Virginia
Street
Dorchester
directly.
Behind
this
property,
I
am
opposed
to
it
simply
because
the
only
parking
we
currently
have
is
being
taken
away
by
project.
This
product
is
removing
40
to
60
parking
spots
in
the
neighborhood,
not
only
that
there's
a
cultural
center
that
will
have
events
with
no
parking
at
all,
I,
don't
know
where
anyone
is
expected
to
park.
For
these
events.
Thank.
AE
BF
BF
The
programming
is
to
be
determined
right
now.
It
depends
on
the
parking
demand,
ultimately,
between
residents
and
Commercial
abuse.
Once
the
building
is
in
service.
B
Okay,
well
I'll
encourage
you
to
continue
to
work
with
your
neighbors
as
we
hear
this
ongoing
concerns.
Any
other
questions
from
the
board
just.
B
F
Ahead,
make
make
a
couple
comments,
not
not
particularly
questions
having
worked
in
this
area
for
early
part
of
my
career
in
Boston,
and
this
is
definitely
very
consistent
with
with
the
with
the
plant.
That's
there
so
I
don't
have
any
particular
questions,
but
I.
Also
I,
guess
I'd
like
to
comment
on
the
parking.
There
is
a
municipal
parking
lot
there.
So
I,
don't
think
that
that
came
up
in
terms
of
the
comments
around
the
loss
of
parking,
that,
let's
not
forget,
that
upper
corner
does
have
a
municipal
law.
H
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
I
think
the
shape
of
the
law
ultimately
sort
of
dictates
the
design
of
the
building,
so
I
think
that
sort
of
makes
the
waivers
appropriate
in
this
case
for
the
dimensional
violations.
I.
Think
it's
a
really
nice
use
of
adaptive
Breeze
of
the
building
and
keeping
that
existing
Bank
bank
and
I'm
really
happy
to
see
deeply
affordable
units,
there's
varying
levels
of
affordability,
and
there
are
10
units
at
30,
Ami
and
I.
B
G
Venture
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
ask
if
there
are
any
deferrals
or
withdrawals
from
the
11
30
time
frame.
Yes,.
G
T
T
On
mcdermaculty
and
Miller,
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
here,
Richard
garofo
and
Everett
development
Partners,
we
are
here
I'm
requesting
deferral
today.
This
is
our
second
request,
because
we
originally
wanted
to
continue
working
on
the
community
process
for
this
application
related
to
revised
plans
and
as
part
of
that
process,
we
met
last
night
with
the
Jeffrey's
Point
neighborhood
association
and
in
order
to
give
them
time
to
properly
review
and
vote
on
the
presentation.
T
We
gave
him
last
night
we're
requesting
a
deferral
to
the
next
possible
date
so
that
they
can
review
and
weigh
in
on
the
project.
B
Thank
you,
Mr
Mr

do.

We
made
some
changes
to
the
project
and
when
it
came
back
from
the
zoning
plans
examiner,
there
was
an
additional
violation
that
we
had.
It
was
just
a
corner
lot,
which
should
have
been
there.
I
wasn't
there
on
the
initial
initial.
You
need
visibility
on
the
corner
lot
so
that
additional
violation
has
to
be
advertised.
Cannot
we're
not
properly
in
front
of
you
without
it
being
advertised,
and
so,
unfortunately,
we
were
going
to
go
today,
but
we
have
to
wait
for
that
advertisement
to
cycle
through.
B
Okay,
Mr
Salas
do.
A
You
have
a
date:
yes,
ma'am
Terry,
May,
23rd,.
B
All
right
we're
getting
close
on
that
one
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
K
B
AA
AE
BM
Let
me
just
quit
my
name.
BM
I
just
made
a
panelist.
My
name
is
Kyle
Smith
business
address
of
359
Newbury

in
Boston's,
Back
Bay
for
cetera
law
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
They
also
the
applicant
on
the
call
with
us
as
well.
BM
Is
yours,
thank
you.
So
we
have
a
pre-existing
three
family
structure.
We
have
a
basement
level
which
is
currently
unfinished
with
three
units
on
first
and
second
and
third
floor.
The
Proposal
is
to
not
modify
the
envelope
of
the
building
in
any
way,
but
to

where
DS
and
I
wrote
a
letter
stating
that
they're
neither
in

or
opposed
to

they
express
concerns
about
possible

in

and
would
like
to
engage
with

So
we

came

the

Thank

Thank

BR
K
I
Yes,
good
morning
again,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Richard
Linz
of
the
business
address
of
245
Sumner
Street
East
Boston
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner.
If
we
could
jump
ahead,
the
slide
before
that's
probably
a
good
place
to
start
as
I.
Do
a
quick
review
of
this
proposed
field
of
the
project.
So
Madam
chairman,
is
the
boy.
This
is
a
pre-existing
non-conforming
use
located
at
the
corner
of
Brooks
and
Chelsea
Street
East
Boston,
as
you
can
see,
from
the
photo,
the
ground
level
has
historically
been
utilized
for
commercial
and
various
retail
uses.
I
It's
the
two
upper
levels
of
residential
uses.
Our
proposal
would
change
the
legal
outputs
of
the
building
from
the
ground
level,
retail
into
residential
to
three
residential
units,
so
essentially
eliminating
the
ground
level
detail
by
going
to
three
residential
units.
That
would
actually
be
changing
this
to
a
conforming
use.
There
is
no
proposal
to
modify
the
existing
footprint
of
the
building
or
increase
the
height.
The
would
essentially
require
work
or
involved
work
all
interior.
In
addition,
there
will
be
some
updates
to
the
exterior
of
the
building
as
well.
I
The
skin
of
the
building
will
be
changed
out
from
what
we
can
see
here
to
a
more
updated
version,
potentially
Heidi,
Plank
and
other
types
of
similar
materials
that
are
used
in
newer
construction.
Most
of
the
character,
though,
however,
those
buildings
will
be
maintained,
we
would
certainly
be
improving
the
ground
level
appearance
as
well.
If
we
want
to
jump
down
a
few
slides,
we
can
go
to
the
floor
plans.
I
I
The
modification
as
I
indicated,
would
essentially
occur
on
the
first
level
where,
as
you
can
see
here,
we'd
be
proposing
to
change
that
to
include
a
two-bedroom
two-bath
unit.
Of
course,
with
the
extent
of
the
renovations
that
will
be
happening
for
this
project,
we
would
be
completing
a
full
upgrade
to
the
life
safety
of
the
building
as
well.
So
it
is
current
ugly,
current
version
of
the
building
code
with
respect
to
Sprinklers
and
fire
alarm.
I
Let
me
check
for
the
zoning
relief
that
would
be
necessary
because
we
aren't
changing
the
use
from
previously
the
previous
use
of
commercial
retail
space
to
residential.
There
are
a
few
technical
violations
of
article
53
get
triggered.
First,
would
be
the
floater,
your
ratio
changing
the
space
that
does
trigger
the
far
to
go
to
habitable
space
habitable
residential
space
from
commercial,
so
that
is
the
first
variance
we're
requesting
with
respect
to
minimal
usable
open
space.
The
building,
as
you
probably
can
see
from
the
site
plan,
occupies
pretty
much
the
entire
site.
I
So
we
do
require
work
for
that,
as
well
with
respect
to
parking,
even
though
retail
space
would
be
a
more
intense
use
under
article
53
and
require
more
parking,
because
we
are
changing
that
from
retail
commercial
to
residential
article
53
does
require
that
you
include
at
least
one
hour
street
parking
space
for
each
additional
unit.
You're
you
are
proposing
for
a
one
to
three
unit
building.
I
We
believe
that,
even
if
parking
were
able
to
be
accommodated
on
the
site,
that
would
come
at
Great
cost
of
detriment
to
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
because
we
would
have
to
introduce
a
curb
cut
and
I
know
that
btd's
policy
in
terms
of
the
city's
policy
is
not
to
create
private
parking
for
one
vehicle
and
take
away
public
parking
for
other
vehicles
that
may
may
utilize
Chelsea
or
Brook
Street.
So
we
are
requesting
bearings
for
that
other
than
that.
Everything
else
is
relatively
straightforward.
I'm
happy
to
answer
the
questions
by
the
board.
F
Okay,
the
damn
chair
I,
do
have
a
question
I.
Yes,
I
would
like
to
hear
just
how
changing
the
first
floor.
Commercial
is
consistent
with
the
context
of
Chelsea
Street
and
the
neighborhood
there,
which
has
you,
know
other
commercial
uses
along
it,
and
why
going
from
first
floor
commercial
to
first
floor
living
space
at
this
at
this
corner
is.
K
I
It's
necessary
thanks,
Mr
Aiken,
good
question.
You
know
I'm
sure,
as
you're
familiar
with
this
section
of
Chelsea
Street,
you
know
is
leaning
more
towards
residential
I
believe
as
you
approach
day
Square,
which
is
about
two
blocks,
two
and
a
half
blocks
to
the
north
of
this
site.
I
D
AU
I
I
This
particular
site
just
does
not
lend
itself
very
well
to
commercial
use,
driven
a
number
of
different
uses,
including
private
clubs
and
other
small
uses
that
don't
really
seem
to
last
in
this
location.
So
the
preference
is
to
look
at
residential
change.
H
I
Sure,
if
we
can
jump
down
to
I,
believe
it's
15
and
16
foreign,
so
this
is
the
actual
elevation
showing
what
the
finished
product
would
look
like,
including
the
change
to
the
lower
level.
My
understanding
and
I
don't
know
if
we
have
somebody
from
chewing
company
on
the
call.
My
understanding
is
the
existing
head
house
to
pre-existing
condition
was
intended
to
remain.
S
BP
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
foreign
Italian
Benitez,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
ons,
hosted
in
a
buddies
meeting
for
this
project
on
June
8
2022
no
Butters
were
in
attendance.
The
project
was
also
presented
to
Eagle
Hills
Association,
twice
in
June
and
July
of
2022.
The
association
voted
to
support
with
14
residents
in
favor
and
three
no
position
at
this
time.
Our
office
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
BS
E
I
don't
say:
I
make
a
motion
for
approval
with
bpda.
The
second
review.
K
B
I
Yes,
in
the
morning
again,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Richard
Lynn's
business,
address
at
245,
Summer,
Street,
East
Boston
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner.
If
we
could
jump
down
to
slide
five
for
the
street
view,
that
probably
is
a
good
place
to
start
for
this
one
as
well
manager.
I
Pre-Existing
three
family
dwelling
located
on
Chelsea
Street
in
between
Brooks
and
Marion
Street.
Our
proposal
here
would
not,
unlike
a
number
of
other
projects
in
this
area
of
Charleston
Street,
would
be
a
complete
renovation
of
the
existing
structure.
We
are
proposing
an
addition
to
the
rear,
as
well
as
a
vertical
Edition
set
back
from
the
front
of
the
building
and
to
change
the
occupancy
from
three
to
four
units.
I
This
would
be
intended
for
home
ownership
upon
completion,
so
these
would
be
four
separate
condominium
units,
certainly
with
the
extended
Renovations
that
we're
proposing
again,
this
property
would
also
receive
an
upgrade
to
the
life
safety,
with
a
full
sprinkler
system,
an
updated
fire
alarm
system,
as
well
as
an
exterior
improvement
from
the
current
combination
of
vinyl
and
with
Mike
siding
that's
on
this
building.
If
we
can
jump
perhaps
to
slide
six
for
the
rendering.
I
This
is
essentially
the
concept
that
the
architect
is
proposing
to
show
by
the
addition,
above
the
fourth
level
and,
as
is
very
typical
in
this
area
of
Chelsea
Street.
That
fourth
level
is
set
back
a
bit
to
allow
for
the
three-story
to
be
terminating
consistent
along
or
at
least
a
facade.
Three-Story
domain
consist
along
that
side
of
Charleston
Street.
If
we
want
to
jump
down
to
the
I
believe
it's
the
floor,
plans
I
think
we
can
go.
Two
two
and
three
slides
ahead
should
goes
to
our
flood
plans.
I
AB
I
If
we
can
jump
further
one
more,
please,
okay,
I
proposed
floor
plan
to
be
here
so
with
respect
to
the
program
in
this
building.
We
are
looking
to
make
a
high
level
unit
at
the
first
levels
that
would
be
living
space
in
the
lower
level
of
unit
one
living
space
on
the
the
main
level
as
well.
The
second
third
and
the
new
fourth
floor
would
actually
have
the
each
via
flat
a
single
level
unit.
I
We
are
proposing
units
on
the
second
and
third
floor
to
be
three
bedroom
and
the
fourth
floor
to
be
a
two
bedroom
two
bath.
If
we
jump
further
I
think
we
have
an
axiomatic
view
as
well
to
show
a
little
bit
about
the
elevations,
because
I
know,
that's
usually
a
concern.
So
we
have.
We
can
see
here
from
both
the
side
and
rear
elevations,
that
the
lower
level
actually
does
a
full
walkout
condition.
I
know
that
is
typically
a
concern
of
the
board
when
looking
at
creating
living
space
in
the
lower
level.
I
So
there
would
be
sufficient
area
for
not
only
full
windows
but
full
lockout
back
portion
of
the
basement.
We
do
propose
to
introduce
rear
decks
as
well
with
rare
setup,
a
set
of
egress
stairs
that
go
through
the
back
of
the
building
and
out
to
the
rear
portion
of
the
property
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
relationship
of
that
upper
level
as
it
relates
the
existing
building
itself.
With
respect
to
relief,
this
isn't
the
3s
2000
District
as
well.
Our
proposal
to
changes
to
four
units
would
require
variance
for
use.
I,
wouldn't
point
out.
I
This
area
is
part
of
the
plantings
Boston
process
that
is
currently
ongoing
in
East
Boston.
As
a
recommendation
for
multi-family
use,
as
well
as
the
four-story
height
limit
I
know,
the
bpda's
recommendation
tends
to
consider
current
context,
but
I
think
it's
important.
The
board
also
understand
the
direction
of
potential
zoning
is
going
through
this.
This
particular
neighborhood.
We
do
require
relief
of
a
lot
of
sides.
Currently
we
do
have
1750
square
feet.
2
000
is
the
minimum.
However,
this
is
a
pre-existing
condition.
I
The
existing
building
of
three
units
would
also
be
non-conforming,
so
our
change
here
would
be
a
technical
violation
with
respect
to
lot
size
because
we
don't
need
the
current
Wild
Size.
Presently,
with
respect
to
the
rear
yard,
we
currently
are
required
to
have
a
really
great
setback
of
15
feet,
and
that
is
due
to
the
shallow
lot
exception
that
exists
on
article
53.
We
do
not
require
a
full
30-foot
setback.
That's
typical
in
this
particular
neighborhood.
We
are
with
our
addition
and
the
rear
decks
within
10
feet
of
the
rear
property
line.
I
However,
the
building
itself
is
at
about
almost
a
15
foot
setback.
We
do
increase
our
floater
ratio
to
2.87,
and
that
includes
capturing
that
lower
level
for
expanded
living
space,
as
well
as
the
addition
on
the
fourth
level
we
currently
are
at
1.86,
which
is
again
a
non-conforming
condition
already
so
we'd
be
increasing
that
non-conformity
a
bit
to
accommodate
the
addition
to
the
living
area.
The
height
of
our
building
would
be
four
stories
44
feet
currently
under
article
53.
That
is
not
permitted.
Three-Story
35
foot
Max
is
the
allowable
limit.
I
But
again,
as
I
mentioned,
I
believe
the
recommendation
of
the
plant
is
Boston
is
to
allow
for
increased
Heights
least
on
this
section
of
Chelsea
Street,
because
it
does
meet
the
Boulevard
or
quarter
main
quarter.
Planning
objectives
for
plantings,
Boston,
I
use
a
little
open
space
would
be
reduced
to
about
177
square
feet
per
unit.
300
square
feet
per
unit
is
required.
We
do
not
propose
to
incorporating
roof
decks
on
this
building.
I
believe
we
have
conversations
with
the
community
about
that,
and
there
was
a
bit
of
concern
about
having
roof
decks
on
this
property.
I
So
we've
opted
not
to
include
that,
although
that
would
allow
us
to
increase
some
of
our
reducible
open
space
and,
last
but
not
least,
is
parking
very
similar
last
proposal.
This
is
a
pre-existing
three
unit.
Building
we're
only
required
to
add
parking
for
the
additional
unit
that
we
do
propose
and
therefore,
for
the
same
reasons
as
the
last
proposal.
Even
if
we
were
able
to
accommodate
parking
on
the
site,
we
would
do
so
to
the
detriment
of
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
I
B
You
Mr
Williams.
Can
you
share
where,
where
the
addition
where
there
are
other
four
four
stories
nearby,
because
I
don't
see
any
on
I.
I
I
believe
on
the
Block
going,
there's
a
block
between
Brooks
and
Putnam
I
believe
there
are
two
buildings,
possibly
on
the
opposite
side
of
of
Chelsea
Street
I
know
on
this
side
of
Chelsea
Street,
as
you
can
have
closer
towards
the
Scotty
Road
they're,
at
least
two
or
three
additional
projects
that
have
a
fourth
story
added
and
I.
Certainly
as
you
get
close
to
day
Square,
there
are
a
number
of
four-story
buildings
that
this
board
has
approved,
as
well
as
which
have
been
constructed
recently.
I
My
understanding
is
no
there's.
This
is
this:
is
pending
a
complete
renovation?
So
if
there's
anybody
President,
we
we're
asked
out
of
the
community
process
as
well.
Thank
you.
S
BP
Morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
boy,
Natalia
Benitez,
says
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
ons,
hosted
in
the
butters
meeting
for
this
project
on
April
21st
2022nd
wanna
butter
joined
the
meeting,
but
no
concerns
were
raised.
The
applicant
also
met
with
Eagle
Hills
and
Association,
and
they
were
quoted
to
a
post
with
nine
opposing
and
six
supporting
those
supposing
stated
that
this
project
would
not
look
in
harmony
with
the
rest
of
this
tree.
They
also
present
it
in
front
of
Maverick
Central
native
Association,
and
they
supported
this
project.
At
this
time.
BS
J
Tommy
and
your
counselor
Murphy's
office,
because
of
Murphy,
would
like
to
go
on
support
on
record
for
this
project.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
B
Okay
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
F
I
would
make
a
motion
that,
in
compliance
with
the
bpdh's
recommendation,
to
deny
without
prejudice
based
upon
the
the
excessive
height
and
lot
coverage
and
the
consideration
of
the
project,
should
not
exceed
three
stories
here
and
for
have
a
greater
rear
yard
setback.
H
Second,
that
Madam
chair
I
agree
with
Mr
Aiken's
assessment,
and
it
is
the
context
of
the
neighborhood
is
largely
three
stories,
and
this
would
be
the
only
four
story.
I
think
in
the
immediate
neighborhood.
K
BD
E
E
B
Okay,
thank
you
as
we
will.
Yes,
Mr
Langham,
yes,
Mr
Aiken.
AE
Y
Hi
there
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Today.
I
really
appreciate
it.
My
name
is
Matthew
Malloy,
long-time
resident
of
Boston
have
been
at
this
property
since
2005.
I'm,
also
the
proud
owner
of
Dorchester
Brewing
Company
in
Dorchester
Mass
I'm.
Here
today,
a
second
time
around
requesting
approval
for
a
single
car
drive
away
to
solely
support
the
use
of
one
electric
vehicle.
It
is
located
to
the
front
left
of
my
property.
Y
Well,
I
was
approved
by
Public
Works
last
year
for
the
curb
cut
last
summer,
I
was
denied
a
prejudiced
by
the
three-person
board
on
this
project
and
was
asked
to
work
with
my
neighbor
to
come
to
some
solution
in
a
shared
driveway
which
which
I
approached
and
she
denied
the
work
with
that
shared
Broadway
before
I
I
go
further
on.
Could
someone
please
make
Kevin
diepler
a
panelist
as
well?
Please.
AE
Y
Architect,
yeah,
thank
you
so
much
as
you
can
imagine,
I'm,
very
passionate
about
our
environment
and,
while
I'm
looking
to
support
our
environment,
I'm,
also
looking
to
deeply
support
the
major
initiative.
The
support
of
living
vehicle
use.
My
project
is
one
of
a
hardship,
as
I
have
no
way
to
install
a
shared,
driveway
or
driveway,
and
the
only
option
I
had
which
was
draping
a
cord
across
a
sidewalk,
has
now
been
deemed
illegal
and
final
by
ISD.
AP
Just
in
time
here,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
Matt.
Our
firm,
my
address
is
2377
Hill
Ave
principal
of
Rudy
Architects.
AP
We
have
assisted
Mr
Malloy
on
his
application
throughout
this
process,
and
today
we'd
like
to
just
describe
to
you
what
is
being
added.
The
proposed
curb
cut,
as
as
Matt
mentioned
have
been
approved,
is
in
the
front
yard.
This
is
the
one
variants
that
we're
seeking
relief
on
the
pathway
that
you
see,
kind
of
leading
to
the
left
and
up
the
page
is
an
existing
pathway,
which
will
now
be
converted
to
brick
paving
system
in
order
to
be
more
in
keeping
with
the
neighborhood
context.
AP
The
eight
foot
six
wide
dimension
is
the
minimal
dimension
of
the
paving
that
would
be
added
to
sort
of
contain
the
car,
and
that
would
just
be
essentially
replacing
the
path
right
now
that
goes
to
the
sidewalk
and
gives
access
to
the
rear
of
the
property.
Those
plantings
that
you
see
also
are
kind
of
obscuring
the
property
line
right
now,
so
there's
an
existing
18
inch
buffer
between
the
property
line
and
the
edge
of
the
current
Pathway
to
the
rear.
AP
There
is
a
kind
of
fact
that
the
curb
cut
was
approved
in
October
of
2021
and
and
Matt
has
been
going
through
the
process
to
approve
the
the
parking
in
the
front
yard.
AP
We
believe
that
this
is,
you
know,
given
the
level
of
support
that
Matt
has
received,
which
is
no
small
task
and
the
Ashmont
Hill
Neighborhood.
AA
AP
AP
He
also
has
owned
this
property
since
2005
and
has
been
painstakingly
preserving
it,
maintaining
it
and
being
a
good
neighbor
I
think
that
should
be
recognized,
and
this
is
a
condition
we
understand
that
has
a
lot
of
policy
attached
to
it.
We
understand
the
city's
desire
for
electrification
throughout
all
types
of
uses
in
the
city,
and
this
happens
to
be
a
neighborhood
where
this
kind
of
front
yard
parking
could
fit.
There's
there's
several
precedents
of
it
already
with
a
lot
of
Carriage,
Houses
and
rare
properties.
AP
Y
Great
just
going
to
the
next
slide,
please
I,
I
think
a
lot
I've
already
covered
a
lot
here.
I
re-engaged
my
neighbor
offered
clearly
17
000
worth
of
value.
The
offer
was
rejected
there.
There
are
currently,
unfortunately,
no
options
for
electric
car
users.
If
you
don't
have
a
driveway
in
Boston
and,
like
I,
said
the
last
option
of
draping
a
court
across
the
sidewalk
is
now
illegal
and
ISD
will
start
finding
people
for
doing
it.
Y
Other
cities
like
Cambridge
and
Somerville
and
Medford
and
others
are
moving
fast
with
under
a
sidewalk
leases
hanging
power
cords
off
telephone
poles,
Corner
charging
stations.
Unfortunately,
we
have
nothing
at
this
point
in
the
city,
so
it's
also
not
really
an
option
to
drive
1.7
miles
and
sit
in
line
with
others
and
waiting
hours
to
charge
a
car.
Y
If
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
just
so
you
know,
since
the
last
meeting
there,
my
neighborhood
was
very
disappointed
that
it
didn't
get
approved
last
time,
so
they
have
stepped
up
behind
me
and
with
37
letters
of
support,
Ashman
Hill
support,
which
has
been
said
before
the
wonderful
Naval
neighbors,
who
are
very
charged
and
no
one
voted
no
on
us,
which
is
exciting,
I'll
leave
it
to
the
other
counselors
that
are
here
today.
Y
I
would
just
like
it
to
to
leave
it
there
at
this
point
to
see
if
you
have
any
further
questions.
Thank.
H
Y
Y
If
you
see
the
front
of
the
car
down
the
walkway
to
the
right
at
the
point
of
the
property,
there
will
be
a
level
two
charging
station
installed.
It's
a
very
minimal
footprint.
It
will
not
be
facing
the
street
it'll,
be
facing
the
the
side
of
the
house,
so
be
minimally
invasive,
and
you
wouldn't
really
see
it.
H
Y
Think
yeah
so
I
did
it.
I
did
have
a
plug-in
EV
before,
but
not
now,
and
it
was
impossible
to
pull
the
cord
across
the
sidewalk
anyways
I.
Of
course
this
has
been
going
on
for
two
years:
I
can't
really
purchase
an
electric
vehicle
without
knowing
I'm
actually
going
to
get
ability
to
have
it
right
away
with
a
charging
station.
So
as
soon
as
if
I
were
to
get
approval,
I
would
be
going
out
and
buying
an
electric
car
got.
It.
B
So
you
don't
currently
have
one.
Thank
you
nope.
Thank
you
for
clarifying.
Thank
you.
I
do
think
this
is
a
unique
situation.
Are
there
any
other
questions
from
the
board?
If
not,
may
I
have
public
testimony.
BU
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Ross
Cochran,
with
the
mayor's
office
services
included
their
Community
process.
At
this
time
our
office
had
a
Motors
meeting
last
year
and
additionally,
we
have
received
numerous
letters
of
support
that
are
on
file.
Likewise,
the
civic
association
also
supports
the
project
and
has
a
letter
of
support.
AY
AT
Office
and
I,
just
with
the
applicant
for
57
or
Ocean
Street,
the
applicant
received
37
letters
of
support,
including
a
lot
of
support
from
Ashmont
Health
civic
association.
The
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support
this
proposal.
B
J
BE
B
Thank
you
so
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
B
Well,
in
the
in
the
past,
we
have
included
provisos,
if
that's,
where
you're
going
with
that,
so
you
could
put
a
Proviso
in
you
know.
Certainly
Mr
Malloy
did
himself
make
a
comment
about
re.
You
know
removing
the
the
curb
cut.
However,
the
only
issue
with
that
is
I,
don't
know
if
that
that
you
know
if
you
sell
the
property,
what
happens
right
but
right,
you
can
certainly
put
a
Proviso
on
there.
H
Yeah
I'm
sympathetic
to
you
know
the
situation
with
the
electric
vehicle
charging
and
you
know,
sort
of
the
place
of
the
structure
on
the
law
and
kind
of
prevents
a
driveway
or
to
allow
that.
AU
H
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
I
think
this
is
a
unique
situation
and
it's
something
you
know
I
think
the
city
would
want
to
encourage
electric
vehicles,
so
I'd
make
a
motion
to
approve
and,
to
the
extent
possible,
to
reflect
Mr
malloy's
offer
to
allow
this
for
electric
vehicle
and
to
change
it
back.
If
there
were
a
gas
powered
vehicle.
B
K
B
Yes,
thank
you.
The
chair
also
votes.
Yes,
the
motion
carries
best
of
luck
to
you.
Mr
Malloy.
Let's
take
a
15-minute
break.
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
H
G
O
O
So
I
will
start
so
28
coffee
Street
in
Dorchester.
The
zoning
in
this
neighborhood
is
2f
5000..
This
is
a
really
big
lot.
It's
over
twenty
thousand,
it's
twenty
thousand
seven
hundred
and
twenty
four
square
feet
this
proposed.
This
proposal
involves
a
combination
of
three
lots
to
create
that
20
724
squid
lot.
There
are
two
buildings
that
will
be
raised:
a
new
building
containing
24
residential
units
and
27
Austin
parking
spaces
and
24
bike
spaces.
Additionally,
two
of
the
cars
on
site
will
be
ride.
O
Share
that
residents
can
use
on
a
reservation
basis
for
the
occasion
of
needing
more
than
one
car.
This
proposal
went
through
a
lengthy
articulating
process
and
was
approved
by
the
BPA
board
on
their
January
19th
board
meeting,
as
this
went
through
the
articulating
process
and
it's
more
than
15
units.
This
will
also
provide
affordable
units
and
we're
far
exceeding
we're
approximately
17
percent
affordable
units.
With
this
development
and
of
those
units,
one
will
be
a
Studio
One
there'll
be
one
bedroom
and
they'll
be
two
two
bedrooms.
O
Additionally,
this
proposal
is
Condominiums,
so
this
is
home
ownership,
which
is
important
for
the
community.
As
far
as
violations
we
have
off
street
parking
and
loading
one
and
a
half
spaces
per
unit
are
required
for
10
or
more
units
and
we're
apply
we're
a
little
over
one.
But
again
we
have
the
ride.
Share.
Two
cars
will
be
available
and,
additionally,
the
developer
has
also,
as
whenever
anybody
buys
a
unit,
will
be
a
allotted.
O
300
credit
toward
using
the
ride
share
company
to
lessen
Auto
dependency
use,
multi-family
residential
and
in
a
2f
district
far
is
a
lot
we're
at
one.
Three
two
height
is
two
stores
35
feet,
we're
in
four
stories,
but
we're
only
at
41
feet.
Front
yard
is
15
feet
requirement
we're
at
11,
7
and
17
6..
O
Also,
this
is
in
the
coastal
flood
resiliency
overlay
district,
and
this
project
was
designed
with
the
bpda
to
be
compliant
with
that
section
of
the
code.
The
unit
program.
There
are
24
units
which
is
comprised
of
six
Studios
six.
One
beds
and
12
two
beds:
common
roof
deck
sat
back
from
the
street
and
there'll
be
no
fossil
fuels
used
in
this
building.
O
There
will
be
on
as
far
as
the
unit
mix
there's
two
beds:
they're
averaging
872
square
feet,
one
bed
765
square
feet
in
studios
at
624
square
feet
and
in
addition
to
that
it
went
to
a
lengthy
Community
process.
We
have
provided
the
board
16
letters
of
support
which
you
should
have
and
I'm
here
to
answer
any
question.
B
Thank
you
so
I.
You
know
this
will
come
out
at
some
point,
but
I
know
you
know
the.
As
far
as
Community
comments
go,
there
were
comments
about
landscaping
and
trees.
Park,
you
know
parking
concerns
traffic
concerns,
so
we
can
address
those
later,
but
I
want
you
to
be
aware
of
that
and
to
address
those
later
with
that.
Are
there
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
H
O
It
would
be
a
sign
per
unit,
so
we
would
have
one
space
per
unit
for
the
Condominiums.
We
have
an
extra
space.
In
addition
to
that,
and
then,
as
I
stated,
we
have
the
ride.
Share
that
will
have
two
automobiles
will
be
available
to
say
somebody
has
a
you
know.
Somebody
has
to
go
to
work.
Somebody
has
to
go
to
a
doctor's
appointment
out
in
128
or
something
like
that.
It's
a
reservation
system
so
they'll
be
there
used
basically
a
zip
car.
That's
in
this
prop
two
zip
cards
that
are
located
on
site.
What.
H
H
Other
residents,
not
only
of
this
project,.
B
O
This
went
to
the
article
eating
process,
you'll
notice,
that
we
don't
have
a
violation
for
any
open
space,
because
that
was
something
that
we
kept
in
mind
when
we
were
developing
this
project.
It
was
to
preserve
as
much
open
space
and
provide
home
ownership,
as
well
as
a
good
amount
of
affordable
units
for
this
proposal
and
with
respect
to
the
parking
I
mean
where.
But
this
was
kind
of
difficult,
because
you
know
you're
serving
two
masters
in
some
respect.
Right.
O
You
go
up
to
the
community
and
they're
looking
for
you
know
two
spaces
per
unit
plus
you
know.
If
somebody
has
a
birthday
party,
there's
got
to
be
guest
space
and
these
other
things
and
then,
when
you
go
to
the
bpda
they
want.
You
know
one
per
unit
or
less.
So
we
were
kind
of
trying
to.
You
know,
use
that
Balancing
Act
and
we
understand
we're
not
going
to
get
100
on
this
test.
But
we
really
worked
hard
and
I.
O
Think
the
addition
of
the
Rideshare
cards
kind
of
negates
without
overpopulating,
this
neighborhood
cars
and
against
the
potential
that
people
will
have
two
cars
on
site.
AC
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
at
this
time
in
the
airsoft's
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
this
board.
As
you
heard
from
the
applicant,
this
went
through
a
bpd-led
community
process
where
there
were
three
public
meetings
helped
and
the
board
should
have
access
to
those
letters
of
support
that
were
forwarded
on
behalf
of
this
project
with
that
we'd
refer
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank.

The
parking
this
neighborhood
is
a
Transit
desert.
If
you
will
so,
the
neighbor
is
around
the
surrounding
property,
we're
looking
for
parking
and
that's
why
the
parking
looks
the
way
it
does,
and
we
want
to
note
that
the
applicant
worked
with
us
and
the
neighbors
too,
to
get
that
to
a
good
number.
So
we
are
in.
AX
AY
Yep,
my
name
is
Aaron
Coleman
address
is.
AY
And
my
issue
is
that
I
did.
B
Project
are
you
in
support
or
opposition,
give
some
explain
some
of
your
reasoning.
BV
BX
Coffee
street,
so
I'm
in
opposition
of
this,
the
parking
is
a
very
big
issue.
This
neighborhood's,
not
that
old.
My
unit
is
one
of
the
newer
units
built
2012
and
every
unit.
After
me,
all
has
two
parking
spots
per
unit
and
right
now
trying
to
even
leave
our
parking
lot
of
getting
out
is
a
tight
curve
because
the
road
is
so
narrow
and
there's
a
lot
of
traffic,
because
St
Ann's
has
a
traffic
light
to
Ashmont
and
we're
a
cut
through
Street
for
people
who
don't
live
in
this
neighborhood.
Do.
AB
BX
So
we
have
an
issue
with
speeding
and
then
delivery
trucks
and
everything
else
after
that,
so
I
don't
see
how
there
could
be
any
support
for
a
building.
That's
not
fitting
the
actual
neighbor
that
still
exists.
Thank.
BY
AE
BY
Actually,
traffic,
it's
a
two-way
street
and
I
agree
that
speeding
is
a
huge
issue
with
people
speeding
up
and
down
the
street,
trying
to
avoid
becoming
face
to
face
with
a
with
another
bit
of
traffic
and
I'm,
worried
about
accidents
and
actually
altercations
among
drivers
which
I've
seen
in
the
past.
Thank.
AE
AB
CA
G
D
Good
morning,
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
Sorting
board
of
appeals,
Rory
Coleman
director
butter
at
35,
coffee,
Street,
I,
am
in
opposition
and
I
I.
Think
the
context
of
the
neighborhood
should
be
considered
more
carefully.
D
The
other
four-story
buildings
were
built
in
the
60s,
and
this
new
project
is
with
the
expansive
size
of
the
project
is
literally
trying
to
utilize
every
square
inch
to
capitalize
on
profit
and
significantly.
That
is
a
substantial
detriment
to
the
public
good
and
substantially
derogates
the
Intensive
purpose
of
its
owning
code.
So
with
that
I
again
objects
to
this
project.
AE
CB
My
name
is
Noreen
Healy
I
I'm
at
48,
coffee,
Street,
Unit,
3A,
it's
k.a,
but
Keeley
and
I'm
good
afternoon.
Madam,
chair
I,
have
a
few
questions
actually
I'm
very
opposed
about.
It.
I've
been
opposed
since
the
beginning
right
currently
right
now
there
is
a
building
on
that
place.
It's
a
duplex
and
people
are
in
it.
So
in
the
street
is
I've.
Seen
accidents
in
front
of
my
house,
I've
seen
altercations,
but
also
there's
a
daycare
at
the
end
of
the
street.
They
come
and
pack
their
cars
and
get
the
kids
there.
CB
The
wall
clock
has
kids,
they
come
and
get
their
cards
cars
there
and
also
the
church
the
church
they
always
seek
parking
there
as
well.
So
and
another
question
I
have
is
what
about
the
flood
zone.
We're
in
a
flood
area.
I
know
I'm
in
a
patient
portal
built
in
1968
and
the
flooding
of
Excavating
the
facility
to
give
us
a
problem.
I
think
Excavating.
That
building
would
give
us
a
problem.
AE
O
Think
we
I
think
we
touched
on
the
parking,
a
lot
Madam
chair
and
what
that
was
involved,
but
as
far
as
the
article
37,
which
is
the
climate
resiliency
I've,
touched
on
that
as
well,
so
this
building
was
designed
with
the
bpda
to
be
conforming
to
the
regs
and
standards
of
the
climate,
resiliency
ordinance,
so
that
was
taken
into
consideration.
That's
why
the
building
is
a
little
higher
because
of
that
purpose.
B
E
Honestly
I'm
looking
at
the
project
and
the
benefits
that
the
project
has
I,
hear
the
comments,
also
from
about
supporting
based
on
parking
and
traffic.
It
still
is
I
I
think
that
the
project
has
merits
that
will
be
provide
Community
benefits
to
the
entire
city
and
for
the
reason,
I
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
BBVA.
In
this
interview,.
K
Q
G
Next,
we
have
a
number
of
companion
cases.
Yes,
so
I
will
read
through
them
and
then
ask
for
the
applicants
who
are
represented
after
first
is
case.
Boa.
G
Z
Yes,
I
am
Mr
secretary
good
morning
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Matt
eckel,
with
Fletcher
Tilton,
with
the
business
address
of
100
Franklin
Street
with
me
on
the
call
today
our
Dwayne
Boyce
and
Adler
bernadin
from
Norfolk
design
and
construction
and
Chris
through
from
686
Architects.
As
was
writing
for
the
record.
This
does
contain
eight
separate
applications.
They
are
all
under
basically
an
umbrella
project
in
conjunction
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Housing,
and
that's
why
they're
viewed
as
one
project.
Z
AB
Z
These
are
basically
three
different
sections:
two
along
Elmont
and
then
one
on
Norwell,
so
22,
20,
22
and
24
Elmont
are
all
kind
of
grouped
together
as
three
lots.
52
and
54
Elmont
are
grouped
together
and
then
143
145,
147
Norwell,
which
you
see
on
the
screen
right
now,
are
grouped
together
as
well.
This
is
a
good
slide
just
to
kind
of
get
a
feel
of
the
project
as
a
whole.
We
are
proposing
kind
of
two
different
typologies
of
buildings,
even
though
they're
all
single
family
dwellings.
Z
We
are
proposing
six
of
the
buildings
to
be
semi-attached,
so
in
groups
of
two
along
those
three
sections
of
Norwell
and
El
Monte,
and
then
the
remaining
two
buildings
will
be
freestanding,
as
you
can
see,
with
143
Norwell
there
on
the
right.
All
of
these
single
family
homes
are
proposed
of
the
three
bedrooms:
one
and
a
half
bathroom
family
style
homes.
They
average
about
1
315
square
feet
and
they
each
have
two
parking
spaces
tandem
design.
As
you
can
see
again
on
this
screen,
you
can
see
the
three
separate,
distinct
driveways.
Z
The
majority
of
these
applications
have
similar
violations.
It
is
a
two
family,
five
thousand
District,
so
the
single
family
homes
are
allowed
and,
in
general,
are
are
less
dense
than
what
the
zoning
would
allow.
As
it's
a
two-family
neighborhood,
however,
by
reallocating
the
Watts,
how
we
did
it,
we
were
able
to
provide
these
affordable
single-family
homes,
which
is
something
that
the
developer
and
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
we're
trying
to
push
here.
So,
as
opposed
to
going
for
two
and
three
family
dwellings.
Z
On
a
lot
of
this
size,
we
did
subdivide
the
lots
and
propose
these
single
family
dwellers.
With
that
I'll
pause.
I
know,
there's
eight
different,
eight
different
plans,
as
well
as
eight
different
refusal.
Letters
I'll
happily
go
through
them
on
an
individual
level
if
the
board
would
like,
but
hopefully
that
sums
up
what
we're
proposing
as
a
whole.
E
Yes,
are
these,
can
you
repeat,
these
are
the
units
for
Market
or
homeownership.
Z
So
all
eight
all
eight
are
single
family
homes
for
sale,
probably
single
home
ownership,
single-family
homes,
four
of
them
will
be
at
80,
Ami,
affordable
and
four
will
be
at
a
hundred
percent
Ami
affordable.
Thank.
F
You
Madam
chair,
I,
have
a
question
and
a
comment.
Yes,
my
question
would
be
just
around
any
of
the
timing.
You
know
where
these
do.
This
has
substantly
been
awarded.
Yet
what's
the
sort
of
timing
and
phasing
of
getting
them
in
the
ground
and
getting
them
built
and
occupied,
you
know
on
the
market
for
families-
and
my
comment
is
just
I
understand.
F
You
know
the
need
for
parking,
but
I
guess
I
see
that
there's
a
sacrifice
for
open
space
for
families
here
by
having
two
spaces
and
it
makes
sort
of
usable
usable
space
outside
of
the
footprint
of
the
house
much
more
much
more
limited.
So
a
little
bit
disappointed
at
that,
but
not
necessarily
suggesting
or
recommending
a
change.
Z
Sure,
thank
you
Mr
Aiken,
so
in
terms
of
the
timing.
Obviously,
with
these
projects,
time
is
always
of
the
essence.
The
Norfolk
design
and
construction
you
know
was
awarded
as
the
you
know,
the
selected
developer
for
these
projects
and
then,
as
soon
as
this
approval,
if
granted
was
granted
and
the
decision
is
finalized,
we
would
move
towards
the
actual
building
permits
and
change
of
ownership.
AB
Z
Of
parking,
I,
don't
necessarily
disagree.
I
think
the
good
thing
about
this
layout
is
with
with
the
single
family
nature
if
it
were
to
be
a
one
car
family,
certainly
that
back
portion
of
the
driveway,
whether
it
becomes
more
permeable
or
just
this
glass
top,
but
it's
more
of
a
you
know
a
table
and
chairs
kind
of
patio
area.
I
think
we
do
have
a
little
bit
of
flexibility
there,
so
with
it
being
family
style
homes
and
with
us
not
having
it
direct.
Z
We
are
close
to
the
Fairmont
line,
Commuter
Rail
station,
but
not
an
abundance
of
MBTA.
So
we
do
think
Park
here
is
important,
but
we
do
have
some
flexibility
and
your
point
is
well
taken.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
You
good
what
exists
on
these
on
these
fossils
now.
Z
I
believe
Tierra
was
a.
She
was
not
elevated
to
panelists,
yet
so
I
believe
she
was
okay.

B
CE
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Joe
Hanley,
again,
McDermott
call
Tim
Miller,
28
State
Street
in
Boston.
I
am
here
with
my
client,
who
is
the
proponent
Mike
Rooney
also
with
me,
is
Jim
padeski,
who
is
an
architect
with
the
architectural
team.
Just
to
give
you
a
brief
summary
here
and
then
I'll
ask
Jim
to
go
through
the
plans
for
you.
As
you
noted
Madam
chair.
This
is
a
article
lady
large
project.
CE
We
have
spent
the
past
two
years
and
an
extensive
community
outreach
and
City
scoping
process
for
what
is
a
preservation
of
the
existing
fox
hall
building
in
upham's
corner
and
the
Improvement
of
an
underutilized
parking
lot
at
at
the
back
of
it
to
convert
it
into
new
residential
housing
of
which
would
be
100
percent,
affordable
and
would
include
also
much
needed.
Workforce
middle
income
range
affordability.
CE
You
can
see
here
in
our
first
slide
our
vision
and
our
Community
Values,
which
are
shared
with
the
neighborhood.
We
are
in
the
heart
of
upham's
corner
part
of
the
Atkins
Corner
implementation
plan.
So
this
article
lady
process
went
through
a
very
close
collaboration
with
the
bpda.
We
were
approved
back
in
June
recommended
for
approval
to
this
board,
based
on
the
zoning
case.
This
is
a
development
without
displacement.
The
fox
hall
building
is
a
treasure
in
upland's
corner
directly
across
the
street,
from
the
Strand.
There
are
existing
Cafe
restaurant.
CE
That
is
there
now
in
commercial
space
space
which
we
are
creating
improved
space
for,
and
there
are
addition,
there
are
SRO
units
that
are
income
restricted,
above
of
which
will
be
updated
to
larger
and
improved
income,
restricted
housing
as
part
of
the
development,
again
no
displacement.
So
we
look
at
our
values
here,
trying
to
preserve
and
improve
this
great
building
is
here,
but
also
look
to
add,
affordable
housing
in
a
way
that
is
contributing
and
also
consistent
with
the
ecosystem.
This
board
heard
earlier
the
Columbia
Crossing
presentation.
They
have
a
deeply
affordable
program.
CE
We
have
a
complementary
range
of
affordability
that
we're
introducing
of
a
low
of
30
percent
of
Ami.
All
the
way
up
to
100
percent
of
Ami
also
is
to
look
at
this
Transit
development
node,
that
is
supplements
corner
and
how
we
can
future
proof
our
development
in
a
way
that
is
Progressive
and
is
building
for
the
future
next
slide.
CE
Please
so
Madam,
chair,
I'll,
leave
you
here
and
then
ask
Jim
to
take
you
through
the
context,
but
you'll
see
the
site
in
the
red
hash
line
again
at
the
front
is
the
existing
Foxhall
building
directly
across
the
street
is
the
Strand
Theater
and
in
the
back
we
are
a
corner
lot
at
the
corner
of
Aryan
Street,
which
runs
towards
the
back,
and
then
you'll
see
this
vast
underutilized
surface
slot,
which
we
are
looking
to
introduce
in
addition
to
the
fox
hall
building
for
a
new
building
with
65
total
units
of
residential
housing
in
a
way
that
is
both
contributing
to
that
need,
but
also
respectful
to
our
Butters
and
Neighbors
in
the
area.

So
you
can
see
from
this
slide
that
the
grade
Rises
up
from
Columbia
Road
to
the
rear
to
the
Virginia
Street
Properties,
that
that
grade
Rises
about
17
feet
we're
setting
the
building
into
the
grade.
So
the
building
is
only
four
stories
of
parent
at
the
rear.
You'll
see
that
in
the
in
the
renderings
to
come
as
well.
CC
CF
Slide
these
are
photos
of
Foxhall
from
Columbia
Road.
These.
This
is
a
four-story
building,
with
the
first
floor,
being
retail
shops
with
residential
units,
above
with
some
large
unused
event
spaces.
This
is
a
historic
building,
so
we'll
be
treating
it
as
such.
Providing
new
windows
matching
historic
profiles
and
we'll
be
cleaning
and
repointing
the
masonry
next
slide.
CF
So
the
rear
of
Foxhall
has
been
improved
by
the
current
owner
recently
to
include
outdoor
dining
during
the
pandemic,
with
new
lighting
for
security,
better
Paving
and
by
working
with
the
community
and
local
artists,
murals
have
been
added,
which
you
can
see.
One
mural
will
stay
throughout
the
veterans.
It
was
done
by
Artistry
Humanity.
You
can
see
that
in
the
the
renderings
to
come
next
slide.
CF
CF
AZ
BO
CF
As
orientation
Columbia
Road
is
on
the
right,
existing
Foxhole
is
also
on
the
right,
so
we
are
keeping
the
the
existing
retail
spaces
on
the
right.
You
can
see
the
red
arrows
that
are
the
and
they
enter
from
Columbia
Road,
and
also
the
the
red
arrow
on
Orion's

also
the

CF
CF
Looking
down
Columbia
Road,
you
can
see
the
new
six-story
edition
behind
the
fox
hall
building
you
can
see
where
we're
matching
The
Brick
of
Foxhall
to
sort
of
blend
in
with
the
neighborhood.
You
can
also
see
that
mural
I
mentioned
along
the
first
floor
of
Foxhall
done
by
Artistry
Humanity.
CF
CF
You
know
pretty
much
matching
the
height
of
those
houses
along
Virginia
Street,
and
you
can
see
the
materials
are
primarily
brick
to
complement
the
Foxhall
building
and
solar
PV.
You
can
see
on
the
roof
of
the
Edition

CF
CF
So
these
are
the
floor
plans
of
the
building,
so
starting
from
the
lower
right,
you
can
see
the
garage
level
or
with
24

parking
spaces
and
also
a
one-to-one
bike
parking,
so
65
spaces
for

Studio

a
mix

Next

you
can
see

CE
Thank
you,
Jim
Madam,
chair,
just
two
very
final,
slides,
a
summary
of
the
affordability
program
which
we're
very
proud
of
worked
very
hard
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Housing
and
the
bpda.
CE
What
I
think
is
really
important
here
is
there
is
a
variety
and
a
diversity
of
income
that
is
being
provided,
as
you
will
see
that
ranges
from
30
percent
of
Ami,
which
is
a
much
lower
income,
all
the
way
up
to
100
percent
of
Ami,
which
is
intended
to
provide
opportunities
for
folks
who
make
a
good
wage
and
salary
but
cannot
afford
to
stay
in
the
city,
and
so
we
think
that
that
balance
is
very
well
achieved
and
will
be
very
an
important
contributor
to
the
neighborhood.
So
how
does
this
break
down?
CE
We
have
eight
three
bedroom
units,
17,
two
bedroom
units
and
25,
one
bedroom
units
and
15
Studios
13
are
at
the
lower
end
of
30
percent
of
Ami
27
units
at
60
percent
and
25
between
80
and
100..
Next
slide,
please
it's
the
final
slide
just
to
review
the
Zoning
for
you,
as
you
heard
from
Jim.
This
is
a
unique
site,
both
in
terms
of
its
topography
in
the
grade
which
we've
taken
advantage
of
to
mitigate
the
rear
yard
variants,
which
is
necessary.
CE
Also,
we
are
constrained
by
the
preservation
purpose
here,
of
keeping
the
Foxhall
building
and
preserving
it
at
the
front
and
utilizing
the
underutilized
lot
in
the
back
for
all
affordable
housing
relief.
That
is
necessary.
In
particular,
floor
area
ratio
is
proposed
at
3.85
in
the
allowable
one.
Also,
the
building
height
at
its
highest
point
is
71.33
open
space.
We're
able
to
accommodate
a
good
amount
of
open
space
at
25
per
square
foot
per
unit,
both
on
the
roof
and
at
the
site,
and
also
the
rear
yard.
This
is
a
corner
lot.
CE
CE
We
are
between
10
and
17,
and
we've
set
the
building
back,
we're
also
working
with
our
neighbor
at
the
back
to
create
buffering
and
fencing
along
that
to
further
mitigate
and
soften
the
edge
as
we
get
to
Virginia
Street.
A
final
thing,
I'll
notice,
ISD
did
cite
us
for
needing
a
parking
and
loading
variants.
That,
of
course,
is
not
the
case
and
her
article
80
large
project
review.
CE
We
did
go
through
that
process
and
get
that
recommendation
for
24
spaces,
which
includes
Ed
programming,
vehicle,
share
ample
bike,
storage
and
Transit
demand
management
measures
to
capitalize
on
this
ideal
location
in
the
transit
node.
Thank
you,
madam

Thank

F
Madam,
chair
I
have
a
question:
if
I
may
ask
yes,
it's
a
I
think
question
for
perhaps
Chris
Rooney
or
or
Quinn
from
bpda
the
development
without
displacement.
How
is
that
being
memorialized
to
understand
that
residents
in
the
current
building
won't
be
displaced
as
part
of
this
project.
CE
Yeah
so
Mr
Rooney
is,
you
know
the
existing
owner
of
the
building
and
there
are
16
sros
that
are
in
there
now
on
the
top
level
of
Vox
Hall,
and
as
you
saw,
this
is
an
addition,
so
the
building
that
the
new
building
at
the
back
will
be
constructed
in
a
way
so
that
there's
no
displacement
with
respect
to
the
16
sros,
in
other
words,
they'll,
be
able
to
remain
where
they
are.
When
the
construction
is
done,
it
can
then
move
to
into
the
improved
units.
CE
The
sros
now
are
very
small
and-
and
you
know,
are
not
updated
if
you
will-
and
so
it's
also
part
of
our
article
80
board
memo
and
we
have
an
affordable
house,
I'm
sorry
area,
an
affordable
agreement
with
moh
that
will
also
mandate
that,
with
respect
to
the
ground
floor,
uses
the
existing
restaurants
doing
very
well.
As
you
can
see,
we
continue
to
support
them.
They
have
an
existing
lease.
BE
K
B

Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Madam
chair
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
ask
for
the
hearings
in
the
1pm
time
frame.
If
there.
BE

Okay,
that
would
be
case
boa

explained.
AO
Yes,

members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adams
and
moranti
business
address
of
168
8th

first
floor.
We
were
asking
for
a
short
deferral
on
this
matter.
We
we
are
going
to
depict
a
clearer
image
on
the
plans.
So
what
is
shown
on
those
plans?
As
of
now
there
is
a
second
parcel
that
is,
is
associated
with
this
proposal.
AO
The
reason
why
the
parcels
were
not
combined
is
because
there's
a
four
foot
easement
as
a
passageway
that
separates
that,
but
that
bacon
parcel
will
be
included
as
the
open
space
for
this
proposal.
So
again
to
give
you,
as
the
board
members
a
little
bit
more
of
a
clear
of
image,
of
what
we're
proposing
on
that

asking
for
a
short
deferral.

CG
V
President,
yes
Mr
stanbridge.
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
George
morency
I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
West
Broadway
in
South
Austin
Madam
chair
members
have
represented
Mark
little,
the
property
owner
and
developer.
This
hearing
is
more
of
a
procedural
correction
rather
than
a
matter
of
first
impression
for
the
board.
V
What
I
mean
by
this
is
that
this
application
was
approved
as
an
ALT
application
in
October
of
2020
by
this
board,
as
proposal
to
construct
a
rear
and
vertical
addition
to
an
existing
two-family
dwelling
and
change
its
legal
occupancy
to
a
six
unit
dwelling
with
six
off-street
parking
spaces
subsequent
to
the
board
approval
and
while
under
construction
of
building
wall
collapsed,
making
the
structure
unsafe.
It
was
therefore
necessary
to
demolish
the
building
once
demolished.
It
was
no
longer
possible
for
my
client
to
proceed
under
the
issued
Alp
alteration
permit.
V
V
V
There
is
also
a
new
violation
for
insufficient
rear
yard
setback,
but
the
rear
yard
setback
here
is
the
same
as
originally
proposed
and
approved.
There
is
a
small
increase
in
Building
height
from
40
feet
and
one
inch
if
42
feet
and
six
inches,
but
height
variance,
was
previously
granted
with
respect
to
the
units
unit.
V
1
will
be
a
bi-level
three-bedroom
unit
of
approximately
2095
square
feet,
unit,
two-way
1395
square
foot,
three
bedroom
unit,
three,
a
three
bedroom:
fourteen
hundred
twenty
square
feet,
unit,
4
at
1710
square
feet
and
two
bedrooms
and
unit
5
at
1720
square
feet
and
two
bedrooms.
So
this
is
essentially
the
same
project
as
previously
approved
by
the
Ford,
except
with
five
units
and
five
parking
spaces,
rather
than
six
and
in
the
form
now
of
an
ERT
application,
rather
than
an
ALT
application,
as
was
the
case
in
October
of
2020..
V
Yes,
there
is,
as
there
was
previously
Madam
chair
no
bedrooms.
It
is
part
of
the
bi-level
unit.
One
and
the
Florida
ceiling
height
in
the
basement
is
nine
feet.
V
Is
a
partial
fourth
story
again
exactly
as
was
originally
proposed
and
approved,
there
is
an
office
up
there
for
the
the
top
two
floor
units.
Sorry
two
top
floor
units
with
a
slider
walking
out
to
a
a
small
deck
one
for
each
of
those
units.
Again,
as
was
the
case
when
this
was
originally
approved,.
H
I
had
a
question:
I
noted
the
location
of
the
trash
on
the
left
side
of
the
building,
but
I
think
there's
only
a
three
foot
wide
side
setback
from
that
property
line.
Can
you
explain
how
that
will
work?
And
you
know
whether
that
will
you
know
kind
of
create
a
condition
where
there's
not
enough
room
to
sort
of
navigate
the
trash
and
stuff.
V
It
is
proposed
as
a
three
foot
wide
clear,
which
you
know:
I
I
guess
is
planned
as
being
wide
enough
in
order
to
move
the
trash
receptacles
out
to
the
street,
I
suppose
that
an
adjustment
could
be
made
if
it
were
If,
This
Were
to
be
approved,
and
if
the
bbda
were
to
engage
in
design
review
and
perhaps
want
to
set,
have
an
additional
area
set
back
there
again,
it
is
proposed,
as
as
a
three
foot
wide
setback
area,
though.
AC
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
at
this
time
in
our
office,
I'd
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
Doing
the
first
proposal
for
this
project
on
a
Butters
meeting
was
held
back
in
August
of
last
August.
AC
Excuse
me,
a
handful
of
Butters
were
present,
and
the
meeting
was
mostly
positive
with
some
concerns
raised
regarding
rodent
activity
in
the
neighborhood,
they
went
on
to
present
with
the
Dorchester
Heights
Civic
group
and
received
a
positive
reception
after
their
deferral
and
their
changes
to
plants.
We
had
them
flyer
the
neighborhood,
and
go
back
to
that
civic
association.
Only
two
abutters
reached
out
regarding
the
flyer
and
the
proponent
was
able
to
answer
their
questions.
The
proponent
went
back
to
the
Civic
and
answered
their
questions
there
as
well
with
that.
BR
From
Council
president
fling's
office,
the
council
is
not
necessarily
opposed
to
the
project,
but
wanted
to
highlight
the
quality
of
life
concerns
that
remain
for
neighbors
and
about
us
when
it
comes
to
avatars
on
this
project.
At
one
point,
it
was
understood
that
the
project
included
fire
unit,
Center
10
parking
spaces
using
a
stack
system.
However,
the
stockers
were
removed,
resulting
in
five
units
and
five
parking
spots.
Council
presidents,
minis
respectfully
requesting
the
city
and
developer
closed
work
closely
together
to
address
this
parking
quality
of
life
issues
for
the
Neighbors.
Thank
you.

It
has
been
a
nuisance
every

Somebody
just
said
something
about:

supposed
to
be
giving
out.
There
was
no
flies
given
out.
He
still
he
actually
put
in
a

since
he
was
shut
down
the
traffic
he
went
from.

told
us
10
to
12
parking
spots
now
he's
down
to
five
and
the
work
that
he's
been
doing
on

literally
there's
been

operational
perspective
from
BT
BTD
Rob,
the
maker.
G
The
five
parking
spaces
correct-
this
is
just
for
me
up:
okay,
that
doesn't
State.
Those
specifically
thank.
V
Hey
Madam
chair
with
no
questions
for
the
board.
If
that's
the
case
is
that
George
foreign.
B
Thank
you,
Mr
Morrison,
you're,
correct
the
the
bpda
only
has
an
old
recommendation
based
on
your
former
10
10
parking
spaces.
So
with
with
that,
may
I
have
a
motion.
F
I
think,
what's
not
clear
to
me,
is
what's
been
present,
even
though
we're
back
to
the
parking
question
where
not
clear
what's
been
presented
and
what
what
we
have
here
in
front
of
us
for
five
accessories,
but
it
seems
to
be
there's
some
question
around.
What
is
actually
been
represented
recently.
Is
that
what
I'm
hearing.
B
No
I
think
I
think
what
I'm
seeing
from
bpd's
recommendation
is.
They
base
their
recommendation
on
the
prior
version
of
this,
which
it
sounds
to
me:
Mr
Morenci
that
you
have
updated
since
then,
which
is
in
the
public
record
here
as
what
you're
requesting
relief
from
correct,
correct.
V
In
the
five
parking
spaces
was
the
condition
when,
as
the
mayor's
office
enabled
Services
representative
Mr
Mr
Newman
mentioned
the
second
round
of
community
presentation.
So
proposals
that
went
out
was
based
on
the
art
stacking
system
with
more
parking
in
response
to
the
bpda's
concerns
that
was
eliminated.
Reduced
to
five
and
my
client
went
back
out
through
Community
process
went
back
to
the
Dorchester
Heights
Association
as
Mr
Newman
detailed
yep.
F
Thank
you
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
bpda
design,
review,
I.
H
May
I
I'll,
second,
that
but
I'd
like
to
specifically
add
the
design
review
for
the
head
houses.
It
looks
like
those
were
not
or
some
they're
remaining
in
some
capacity
from
the
previous
iteration,
which
they
were
previously
recommended
to
eliminate.
V
There
was
actually
they're,
not
head
houses,
it
is
a
partial
fourth
story,
and
that
was
how
it
was
approved
originally
in
October
2020.
So
they
are
not
head
houses
they're,
actually,
just
partial
and
setback
for
the
storm.
B
He
answered
that
already,
but
but
I
think
design
review
will
cover
any
particular
issues:
Mr
Stembridge,
yes,
Mr
Shepard,
yes,
Mr
Valencia!
Yes,
we
will
yes
Mr
Langham.
Yes,.
AO
G
That
would
be
case
boa
139
4043,
the
address
of
eight
Sawyer
Street,
eight
we're
giving
eight
Sawyer
Avenue
and
we
have
the
rep.
The
applicant
representative
president.
O
Thank
you,
Mr
Sturbridge
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Attorney
John,
Paul
genie
on
behalf
of
Martin
Kerr
and
with
us
this
afternoon
is
also
James
Christopher
from
686
Architects.
This
is
8
Sawyer
Avenue.
This
is
a
unique
because
it's
built
into
two
f-5000
as
well
as
the
three
F
5000
zoning
sub
districts.
It
is
nine
thousand
nine
hundred
and
forty
six
square
foot
lot
proposal
is
to
build
a
three-story
five-unit
residential
building
with
six
rare
surface
parking
spaces.
The
project
would
be
approximately
8
200
square
feet
right.
O
Currently,
there
is
a
single
family
on
the
property
that
would
obviously
turn
this
into
a
multi-family
Residential
Building.
As
far
as
violations,
we
have
a
use
violation
because
of
the
multi-family
residential
far
is
allowed
we're
at
Queen
A2
Building
height,
it's
two
and
a
half
stories
where
three
front
yard
set
back
15
we're
at
10
rare
yard,
24
and
a
half
in
parking
1.25
and
we're
at
1.2.
O
The
unit
sizes
are
unit.
One
is
a
two
bed
two
bath
that
is
in
the
basement.
On
the
first
floor,
there
are
no
bedrooms
in
the
in
the
basement
unit.
Two
again
basement
and
first
floor,
no
bedrooms
family
room
in
the
basement
unit
three
is
on
the
second
floor
unit.
Four,
it's
on
the
second
floor
and
unit
five
is
on
the
third
floor.
It's
a
little
bit
of
a
history.
I
want
to
give
on
this
back
in
2015.
O
This
proposal
came
before
the
board
at
that
time,
and
it
was
approved
for
four
units
by
the
zba.
However,
when
the
zba
decision
was
issued,
they
had
approved
it
for
six
units
and
he
went
back.
They
had
it.
Corrected,
went
to
the
bpda
through
design
review
and
the
btda
suggested
that
they
incorporate
a
pitch
roof
to
the
project
and
add
another
unit
to
make
it
five
units.
At
that
time,
Mr
Kerr
went
back
out
to
the
community,
went
to
the
Jones
Hill
civic
association,
and
they
were
in
unanimous
support
again.
O
However,
he
had
a
tenant
in
the
property
at
that
time
who
had
a
disabled
child,
and
he
just
said
this
is
not
the
right
time
to
go
ahead
and
develop
this.
So
until
those
people
moved
out,
then
he
pursued
it
again.
So
the
proposal
for
you
today
is
for
five
units
with
six
rare
parking
spaces,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
support,
as
well
as
the
Jones
Hills
Association,
unanimous
support,
which
I
believe
the
board
has
that
letter,
but
we'd
appreciate
any
questions
or
anything
that
you
guys
have.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
AS
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Ashley
Combs
from
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
some
background
information
from
Jones

Of
that
you
start
thinking.
AB
AE
B

You
go
to
attendees,
it
was
just
a

hand.
It
went

So
good
afternoon,
Madam,
chair
and
board
members
I
fully
support
this
project;
I'm

Okay,
we're
proposing
the
channel
of
kill
PT
to
the
building.
We
get
a
rebuild
19
2018
and
it
proposes
the
change
of
occupancy
from
the
liquor
store
from
the
retail
store
to
liquor,
store
and
and
corner
lot.
He
used
to
be
a
laundromat
We
performed
in
the
chain
to
do
a
bakery
now
and
we
opened
the
building
in
the
barbershop
and
the
other
location.
B
AC
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor
of
soft
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board,
the
applicant
went
through
the
community
process
with
no
concerns
from
what
we
understand
and
receive
support
from
the
Jones
Hill
civic
association.
Now,
with
that,
we
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AT
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
good
evening,
rather
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
from
the
office
of
council
War,
the
applicant
for
208
to
218
Columbia
Road
and,
having
received
letters
of
support
from
the
project
right,
the
council
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support
the
proposal.
Thank.
CG
Good
morning,
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
board-
I
am
Consular
at
large
Julia
Mejia
just
want
to
go
on
the
record
and
support
for
Mr
Stephen
Pampas
and
with
this
particular
Endeavor.
Thank
you.
AX
AX
J
AE
K
G
CI
Robert
Nichols
here
the
owner
of
the
property,
was
having
some
technical
difficulties,
but
I'll
be
here
to
speak
on
his
behalf
on
the
project
I'm.
The
contractor
that
I
filed
for
the
permit.
CI
So
that
was
the
initial
plan
when
we,
when
we
applied
as
you
look
at
the
refusal
letter,
it
was
still
going
under
the
Adu
guidance
on
this,
but
we're
just
looking
to
get
those
Dormers
approved.
So
that's
specific.
This
this
case
is
specific
to
the
Dormers
understood.
CI
AE
Yes,
we
have
testimony.
BO
This
applicant
is
a
lot
of
support
from
the
neighbors
who
live
around
them
and
so
I'm
actually
attending
this
meeting
to
represent
City
councilor
Tanya,
Fernandez
Anderson,
and
so
the
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
record
as
supporting
this
project.
But
the
neighbors
stress
that
they
don't
have
enough
parking
in
that
neighborhood.
That's
really
a
struggle
for
them
and
they
want
to
make
sure
that
the
owner
is
using
both
this
lot
that
he
owns
and
the
lot
next
door
that
he
also
own.
BO
He
answered
their
questions
by
saying
that
they
would
be
able
to
anyone
in
the
building
would
be
able
to
park
on
either
one
of
them
wants,
and
so,
but
we
didn't
really
see
a
plan
for
parking.
It's
an
existing
building,
so
the
counselor
is
in
support.
But
again
the
question
is
okay.
Thank
you.
I.
CI
Yes,
so
the
owner,
as
I
had
spoken
with
him,
said
that
he
would
happily
accommodate
by
allowing
his
tenants
and
himself
to
park
on
that
lot.
I
think!
Yes,
it
just
has
to
get
the
approvals
for
that,
but
that
is
something
that
he
will
be
pursuing.
He
is
able
to
get
this
unit.
Okay,.
B
BN
You
yes,
I
also
have
testimonica
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Keisha
Santana,
when
the
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood,
Services
and
a
Butters
meeting
was
held
on
December
7th,
where
our
butter
is
attending
and
addressed
the
same
concerns
regarding
parking,
but
no
other
additional
concerns
were
brought
to
our
office,
and
at
this
point
we
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
K
K
B
G
AQ
I
am
here
hello,
members
of
the
board
Madam
chair.
This
is
Mike
Ross
good
afternoon
to
you,
I'm,
the
attorney
on
this
project
from
Prince
Lobel,
one
international
place,
I'm
joined
here
today
by
architect,
David
Lee,
and
also
the
building
principle
Matt
O'hara
of
bellrose
Terrace.
Now
what
you're
seeing
here
is
68
Terrace
Street.
This
was
previously
known
as
68-72
Terrace.
It's
within
the
local
industrial
section,
along
Terrace
Street
in
the
Mission
Hills
sub-district.
It's
a
14,
678
square
foot.
Lot.
AQ
You
can
see
there
that
it's
right
along
the
MBTA
rail,
it's
between
Jackson
and
Roxbury
Crossing,
so
a
kind
of
true
Transit
oriented
development.
The
goal
here
is
to-
and
there
are
currently
two
existing
structures
on
the
site:
two
small
homes,
total
of
four
units
that
are
currently
vacant
that
will
be
demolished
in
order
to
make
way
for
a
five
and
six
story,
building
that
will
include
47
units,
15
parking
spaces
and
47
bicycle
units.
AQ
This
was
approved
by
the
bpda
under
article
80,
small
project
review
on
June,
16
2022.,
and
what
you
see
here
is
one
of
the
existing
structures
on
the
upper
left
in
the
green
and
then
in
the
lower
right
in
the
gray.
Those
are
the
current
structures
on
the
almost
15
000
square
foot
lot
on
the
upper
right.
You
see
this
brick
building.
This
is
an
example
of
some
of
the
new
construction.
That's
taking
place
on
Tara,
Street
and
River
shouldn't
help.
AQ
This
building
is
about
the
same
size
as
our
building,
and
it's
to
our
immediate
right.
We'll
show
you
more
of
that
in
a
second
next
slide.
Next
slide,
please
we
can
come
back
I'll.
Do
the
zoning
right
at
the
end,
just
after
I
kind
of
Orient
you
into
the
project-
and
this
is
just
the
existing
survey
and
the
next
slide
will
show
you
the
proposed
with
the
you
know,
the
building
roughed
out
on
the
on
the
survey,
and
the
next
slide
will
show
you
really
the
floor
plan
or
the
site
plan.
AQ
Now
of
your
screen
and
in
the
back,
the
red
hashed
area,
that
is
part
of
the
property,
it's
part
of
the
project,
but
it's
also
an
easement
that
goes
to
the
MBTA
so
and
and
then
just
further
beyond
that,
you
can
see
the
topography
start
to
slope
down
down
and
then,
ultimately,
you
get
to
the
right
of
way
the
the
orange
line,
so
the
the
the
hashed
area
this
this
MBTA
easement
everything
there
is
on
on
the
on
ground
floor
on
ground
level,
there's
no
actual
structure
there.
AQ
The
only
thing
that
is
there
is
the
return
Drive
aisle
from
the
driveway
coming
in,
which
is
also
at
level
and
then
air
rights.
We
would
have
a
couple
balconies
over
that
nothing
would
be
built
on
that,
so
that
also
provides
like
a
nice
rear
setback
for
us
as
well.
AQ
The
next
slide
I
can
show
you
the
yep,
so
what
we
have
is
we're
proposing
15
parking
spaces
again.
This
is
a
homeownership
project,
47
bicycle
spaces.
A
next
slide
would
be
fine.
So
now
these
are
just
the
floor
plans
right
so
there's
this
is
your
ground
level
floor
plan
which
will
begin
four
levels
of
of
housing.
You
could
you
can
scan
through
9,
10,
11
and
12
sides
as
we
build
up
and
what
you
have
for
a
breakdown
of
units
here
is.
AQ
AQ
So
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
you're
going
to
see
the
tops
of
three
units
that
see
back
into
the
the
floor,
Below
on
the
fifth
floor,
so
it's
a
six
core
project
you
can
say,
but
that's
the
only
portion
that
is
sixth
floor,
the
left
and
right
there
are
fifth
floor,
so
the
roof
of
the
fifth
floor
below
it
and
in
the
case
of
the
left,
that's
an
outdoor
roof
area.
I
just
also
wanted
to
mention.
AQ
There
are
seven
IDP
units
associated
with
this
project,
which
would
create
a
15
IDP
affordability
onto
the
project.
Next
slide,
please:
this
is
the
roof
roof,
so
the
top
of
the
sixth
in
the
middle,
the
top
of
the
fifth
on
the
left
and
on
the
right,
and
you
see
there
against
some
photo
panels
for
solar
energy
they'll
be
generated,
and
this
particular
project
when
we
have
David
online,
you
can
talk
to
you
about
if
you're
interested
is
both
lead
gold
and
both
lead
gold
and
Lead
Platinum
certifiable.
AQ
AQ
That
main
entrance
is
meant
to
kind
of
line
right
up
with
Allegheny
Street.
You
have
your
balconies
coming
off
and
you
can
see
you
know
on
the
left,
uppermost
side,
you
can
see
the
the
roof
deck
the
entrance
you
can
see
on
the
right
for
the
for
automobiles
next
slide,
please
is
the
rear.
Elevation
is
what
you'll
be
seeing
from
the
MBTA
right-of-way.
AQ
You
can
see
that
sloping
down
for
the
entrance
and
then
the
return
to
get
back
into
the
into
the
property,
and
then
some
open
open
air
at
the
at
the
parking
level
and
then
the
building
itself,
as
it
is
on
top
the
next
next
slide.
Please.
AQ
And
then
next
slide,
we'll
show
you
the
section
side
might
be
even
better
go.
The
next
section.
This
here
is
kind
of
gives
a
nice
illustration,
so
here
Tara
streets
on
your
right.
You
can
see
that
slope
down
towards
the
MBTA
right-of-way
off
to
the
left.
AQ
What
you'll
see
is
in
the
so
there's
that
kind
of
that
right
behind
the
building
itself.
That's
that
MBTA
easement
I,
mentioned
to
you
earlier,
there's
a
right
now,
an
existing
Granite
wall
there
and
that
that's
in
the
red
hash
that
will
be
replaced
with
the
structural
Foundation
itself
of
the
building
next
slide.
Please,
and
we
gave
gave
you
a
lot
of
sections.
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
and
here
you
have
your
your
renderings.
AQ
This
is
what
it
will
look
like
when
complete,
there's
that
building
on
the
right
that
brick
building
I
mentioned
to
you
to
the
right
of
us,
there's
actually
an
easement
between
our
two
buildings
to
access
the
MBTA,
and
the
next
slide
will
show
you
the
from
the
from
the
back.
So
the
back
of
the
building
is
fairly
articulated
as
well
just
quickly
on
the
zoning
relief
I'll
walk.
You
through
it
so
we're
being
cited
for
off
street
parking
where
they
would
want
a
One
to
One
ratio
of
parking.
AQ
AQ
This
is
an
area
that
allows
for
a
height
of
40..
We
are
at
63.
and
it's
a
lot
of
this
has
to
do
with
topography
and
butting
up
to
the
MBTA
justify
the
variances
we're
seeking
here.
We
were
cited
for
open
space,
but
with
the
open
deck
above
I
actually
think
we
mean
it,
but
we
were
cited
for
it
and
then
we
were
assigned
for
existing
building
alignment
Conformity.
AQ
There
is
no
front
yard
requirement
in
this
district,
and
so
you
look
to
either
a
zero
front
yard
line
or
a
building
Conformity
alignment,
but
we
pulled
back
just
a
little
bit
more
working
with
the
bpda
and
the
the
community
to
allow
for
wider
sidewalks.
The
sidewalks
on
Terrace
Street
are
very
thin,
but
now,
in
this
project
pulling
it
back,
allows
for
better
access
on
the
sidewalks,
better
Street
trees
and
those
types
of
things
I'll
pause
there
Madam
chair.
AQ
Yeah,
it's
an
excellent
question:
Mr
Valencia,
because
it's
we're
wondering
the
same.
We
we
are
in
discussions
with
the
MBTA
right
now
on
that
and
if
you
noticed
actually
in
the
plans,
we
actually
showed
you
two
different
versions.
We
showed
you
one
version
that
we
kept
the
trees
and
we
showed
you
another
version
that
had
what
we
would
do
if
we
removed
them.
AQ
We'd
put
like
a
table
a
little
Plaza
area
out
there
and
we
can
go
up
there
to
show
you
for
the
Ambassador,
but
the
bottom
line
is:
we
need
to
get
permission
from
the
MBTA
to
see
what
they
want
to
do
back
there.
If
they
feel
like
they
act.
If
they
absolutely
need
access,
probably
be
our
preference,
it
would
be
our
preference
to
keep
the
trees,
but
if
they
require,
if
you
go
to
the
Ambassador
I,
think
it's
like
slide
five
or
six
way
back
up.
AQ
There
you
go
so
well
one
yeah,
so
there's
the
one
that
we
just
said:
we're
keeping
the
trees
and
ideally
would
like
to
do
that.
And
if,
if
the
MBTA
wants
us
to
remove
those
trees,
then
the
next
slide
shows
you
what
we
would
do.
We
would
create
this
kind
of
Plaza
area
with
movable
tables
and
that
kind
of
thing,
and
that
would
be,
but
it's
it's
it's
still
being
negotiated
through
the
MBT
through
the
process
with
the
MBTA.
Thank.
E
You
and
I'm
glad
that
the
concealerbach
is
here
welcome
to
concealer,
because
this
is
I
mean
it's.
Many
of
the
residents
along
in
this
area
have
been
trying
to
keep
those
trees
just
along
the
Orange
Line
in
the
immedias
same
different
things
to
people.
So
just
for
this
project
and
other
projects,
nearby
mbda
lines,
I
think
the
city
should
have
or
understand
better
what
the
mbda
wants
to
do
with,
with
existing
trades
on
the
riskments.
AZ
This
is
David
Lee
speaking,
but
our
president
obviously
would
be
to
keep
this
man
in
the
trees
as
we
can,
because
this
could
be
a
very
pleasant
outdoor
space
for
the
residents
of
the
building.
So
we'll
be
working
closely
with
the
ndca
as
well
as
cbda,
in
order
to
make
a
nice
shelter
place
because
you
got
the
orange
line
on
the
other
side.
It'd
be
nice
to
have
just
that
visual
barrier
as
well
an
acoustic
barrier
that
the
trees
represent.
BE
B
AQ
Total
number
of
yeah
the
total
number
of
units
and
I'd
like
to
give
you
the
actual
breakdown
of
that
I'm.
Just
pulling
that
up
here.
So
the
actual
breakdown
is
we
have
okay,
so
we
have
a.
We
have
a
two
bedroom
at
875
square
feet
at
80
percent.
We
have
a
two
at
853
square
feet
at
90
percent.
We
have
a
three
at
11.96
square
feet
at
100.
We
have
a
one
bedroom
at
658
square
feet
at
80
percent.
We
have
a
studio
at
450
square
feet
at
80
percent.
AQ
M
CJ
Yes,
hello,
Madam,
chair
members
of
the
board,
Maggie
van
scort
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
This
project
went
through
thorough
Community
process
during
the
article
80
review
and
during
this
process
they
met
with
Mission
Hill
Neighborhood
Housing
Services,
who
has
offered
a
letter
in
strong
support
of
this
project.
With
that
we'd
like
to
defer
judgmenting.
B
CJ
BW
You
so
much
Madam
chair
and
thank
you
to
all
the
members
of
the
board.
It's
great
to
see
you
today,
I
wanted
to
hop
on
I'm
not
often
on
these
but
I
wanted
to
hop
on
world
to
voice
my
support
and
also
to
give
the
board
a
little
bit
of
context
on
Terrace
Street.
Tara
Street
is
a
street
that
runs
sort
of
along
the
side
of
Mission.
BW
Hill
apologies
in
my
district
and
it
historically
has
been
a
light
industrial
Street,
which
is
why
that
there's
that
aspect
that
Mr
Ross
referred
to,
but
it's
sort
of
in
a
transformation
into
more
of
a
mixed-use
residential
street
and
so
and
that
transformation
has
been
happening
by
kind
of
parcel
by
parcel
a
thing
which,
when
I
came
in
as
a
counselor,
was
quite
frustrating
to
me,
because
I
think
it's
exciting
that
there's
an
opportunity
to
put
more
housing
so
close
to
the
T
here
and
so
close
to
such
a
wonderful
neighborhood
as
Mission
Hill.
BW
BW
Really
looking
at
how
we
avoid
the
street
being
a
cut
through
a
kind
of
alternative
for
Columbus
Avenue
and
really
transform
it
from
a
complete
streets
perspective
to
be
a
comfortable
place
for
people
to
walk,
and
you
know
really
like
have
the
kind
of
uses,
because
it's
been
historically
a
lot
of
car
related
uses
on
the
street
and
kind
of
the
type
of
place
that
people
were
blasting
through.
And
we
really.
We
don't
want
that.
BW
The
sidewalks
are
much
too
narrow,
and
so
what
I'm
really
encouraged
by
is
we've
been
asking
each
of
the
projects
that
are
proposed
on
the
street
to
commit
to
putting
funding
a
dollar
per
square
foot
into
actually
implementing
the
recommendations
that
come
out
of
that
ongoing
Transportation
study.
And
so
this
project
has
done.
That.
I'm
also
excited
with
this
project,
about
the
fact
that
they
actually
worked
with
the
bifdic
and
our
new
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
process
at
the
bpda
level.
BW
And
that's
why
that
you
see
15
IDP
here
instead
of
the
minimum
13
on
site.
I,
probably
don't
have
to
tell
you
that
Mission
Hill
is
currently
the
lowest
owner
occupancy
rate
neighborhood
in
the
city.
It's
actually
edged
out,
Austin
and
so
getting
home
ownership
and
then
getting
affordable
home
ownership
is
just
super
critical
to
the
residents
in
Mission,
Hill
and,
and
so
the
Mission
Hill
NHS
support
letter
was
referenced.
BW
They've
negotiated
to
make
sure
that
you
know
these
home
ownership
units
are
going
to
be
held
by
longer
term
residents
and
and
again,
I'm
just
really
excited
that
we
got
a
bit
more
units
above
that
13
threshold.
There
was
also
a
reference
attorney
Ross
made
to
the
pulling
the
oh
on
Ontario
street.
These
Lots
go
right
up
to
the
line,
but
the
problem
is:
is
we've
got
a
sidewalk
right
now
today?
BW
That
is
just
way
too
narrow
and
is
not
going
to
accommodate
the
type
of
like
neighborhood
foot
traffic
that
we
are
going
to
see
and
want
to
see
on
the
street.
So
they
worked
with
us
at
the
number
of
the
sort
of
smaller
project
proponents
around
here
have
to
kind
of
pull
their
project
back
a
little
bit
and
create
some
more
space
to
walk
on
the
sidewalk.
BW
So
this
is
a
project
that
my
office
has
really
been
actually
quite
involved
in
and
more
so
than
we
necessarily
usually
would
for
a
small
project
because
of
because
of
the
nature
of
the
transformation
on
the
street
and
I'm
really
grateful
for
their
receptivity,
and
you
know:
I
think
that
we're
all
swimming
kind
of
in
the
same
direction,
I
will
say.
I
agree
with
you
strongly
Geo
about
the
trees,
and
we
continue
to
work
with
the
MBTA
as
a
major
landowner
in
this
area.
BW
Q
And
there
we
go
how's
that
good
afternoon
Madam
chairman
and
the
board
I'm
a
butter
up
on
the
corner
of
Allegheny
and
Parker
Street
and
I'd
like
to
speak
in
opposition
to
the
scale
of
this
project
and
this
back
door.
Q
G
G
Just
to
let
you
know
we
did
receive
that
letter
that
was
referred
to
from
the
Mission.
AN
BZ
I
I
am,
and
my
attorney
was
going
to
present
Dan
McDevitt.
CK
Hi,
this
is
attorney
again:
mcdevice
403,
Victory
Road
in
Quincy
is
my
office
address
these
companion
cases
in
South
Boston
arise
out
of
an
application
for
an
alteration
permit
for
47
Marissa
Street,
which
is
owned
by
Kevin
Scott,
the
original
application
that
Kevin
file
included
in
it
a
plan
that
had
you
utilized.
We
have
footage
on
the
lot
at
8,
24.,
284,
290,
each
day
spring,
the
yard
sale
lot
at
Mr
Scott
and
his
next
to
a
neighbor
acquired
when
they
acquired
these
problems.
CK
That
a
lot
was
originally
sold
by
the
city
of
Boston,
the
purpose
of
the
space
from
Offspring
residential
parking
back
in
2004.
So
at
least
we
got
that
the
application
for
47
Marissa
Street,
when
it
was
realized
that
Kevin's
operation
plan
had
the
square
footage
from
the
8th
Street.
We
filed
a
revision,
which
is
what
you
now
have.
There
were
two
violations
here.
CK
The
first
one
is
the
rear
yard,
as
you
can
see
from
looking
at
the
plan.
Oh,
this
is
an
odd
shaped
lot
and
the
setbacks
from
the
existing
building
to
the
real
lot
line
on
the
left
side
of
the
building
is
eight
feet
and
on
the
right
side
of
the
building
is
12
feet.
The
rear
yard
set
back
in
this
particular
Zone
according
to
table
D
of
article
68
is
20
feet.
CK
There
is
no
work
to
be
done
that
will
come
into
the
backyard
all
the
work
is
being
done
inside
the
building,
but
we
still
have
a
really
odd
violation.
The
other
violations,
the
far
cable
Dr
article
68,
allows
for
2.0
effort
and
the
lot
size
is
888
square
feet.
So
this
would
allow
twice
that
amount
of
1776
square
feet
of
living
space.
CK
The
existing
living
space
in
the
building
is
1710
square
feet,
but
the
proposed
work
to
the
Garden
level
would
add
450
square
feet,
bringing
the
total
to
21.40.
it's
about
a
20
percent
increase
in
Far
of
the
the
additional
space
is
in
the
Mercer.
Street
is
a
very,
very
Steep
Hill
dropping
down
to
where
it
gets
close
to
East,
8th
Street
and
the
full
Foundation
of
this
building
is
out
of
the
ground
and
it's
rock
out.
CK
So
the
proposal
here
is
to
add
a
small
space
in
the
garden
level
and
move
the
kitchen
down
to
the
Garden
level.
That
would
give
him
enough
room
to
have
a
second
bedroom.
In
the
first
floor
upon
those
those
were
the
two
violations
for
47
Mercer
Street.
Now,
in
conjunction
with
47
Marissa
street,
we
have
an
application
for
relief
for
284
290
East,
8th
Street,
which
I've
spoken
about.
This
is
a
yard
sale
loss.
CK
It
was
sold
to
to
Kevin's
earlier
owners
of
the
property
of
Kevin
and
Patrick
O'grady,
who
was
in
a
product
the
city
sold
this
lot
in
May
of
2004..
It's
in
the
the
there
are
standard
yard
sale
restrictions
that
recite
that
residential
parking
isn't
a
loud
use
of
land
which
triggers
this
case
is
the
application
for
the
curb
cuts
when
Kevin
and
his
next
door,
neighbor
Patrick
O'grady
five
of
the
curb
cut
to
create
two
parking
spaces.
CK
CK
Now,
if
you
were
to
take
a
look
at
the
width
of
the
lot
it's
19.33
feet,
the
code
requires
five
feet
on
each
side
for
the
open
space
which,
if
we
can't
get
relief,
then
we
can't
get
two
parking
spaces,
all
of
which
was
the
intended
outcome
that
the
city
desired
when
they
created
the
yard
sale
program
and
put
these
restrictions
in
the
deed.
So
the
purpose
of
the
relief
from
the
side
yard
and
the
open
space
between
two
two
parking
spaces
when
the
deed
to
this,
this
parcel
from
the
city
was
recorded.
CK
The
grantees
were
considered
and
recorded
as
tenants
in
common
now
tenants
in
common
means
that
each
person
mentioned
owns
50
percent
of
the
whole.
They
don't
own
the
left
side
or
the
right
side.
But
when
Mr
Scott
went
to
the
plan
examined
us
and
said,
can
we
subdivide
the
slot?
They
said?
No,
we
have
to
keep
the
ownership,
so
what
we
have
here
is
a
proposal
who
parking
spaces,
one
which
will
benefit
Mr
O'grady's
building
and
the
other
one
will
benefit
Mr
Scott's
building.
CK
There
is
a
a
notation
on
the
rejection
letter
about
maneuverability
East.
8Th
Street
is
a
50-foot
wide
public
way
of
which
it's
34
feet
of
Street
and
eight
foot
sidewalks
on
either
side.
The
proposed
curb
cut
is,
would
be
14
feet
wide.
Thank.
AC
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor,
soft's
Neighborhood,
Services,
the
sound
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
So,
first
up
when
284-290
East
8th
came
before
our
office,
we
hosted
in
a
Butters
meeting
on
January
9th
two
about
a
different
present
and
they
expressed
support
for
the
proposal.
The
applicant
then
went
on
to
the
Dorchester
Heights
Association.
AC
They
received
their
support
as
well
later
they
reached
out
to
our
office
for
guiding
a
proposal
for
47
Mercer,
which
is
the
driveway
we
had
them.
We
had
the
applicant,
circulate
a
flyer
to
a
Butters
and
did
not
hear
back
from
anyone.
The
applicant
then
was
unable
to
meet
with
the
Dorchester
Heights
group.
Regarding
the
proposal
for
47
Mercer,
the
stats
particular
civic
association
isn't
going
to
meet
until
next
week.
So
with
that
we
defer
to
the
Judgment
this
board.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
BR

Stance,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Paul
Sullivan
for
city
council,
Elijah,
Michael
Flaherty,
echoing
the
sentiments
of
council
council
president
Flynn's
office,
as
well
as
recognizing
the
new
life
that
went
to
drafting
article
68
and
acknowledging
that
there
are
projects
that
do
have

BM
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
good
to
see
you
again
today.
My
name
is
Kyle
Smith
of
cetera
law,
business
address
of
359
Newbury
Street
in
Boston,
spec
Bank.
BM
So
we'll
try
to
be
brief
for
you.
In
brief
summary,
this
is
the
combination
of
two
Parcels
of
land,
one
three
four
and
one
three,
six
West
8th
Street-
to
give
the
board
a
little
back
context,
because
this
does
predate
your
involvements.
Now
as
zoning
board,
we
were
heard
before
the
prior
board
in
July
of
2022.
BM
The
Proposal
was
for
a
structure
of
a
very
similar
physical
dimensions,
but
we
did
propose
on
your
screen
now,
where
you
kind
of
see
the
three
spaces
to
the
left
and
to
the
rear.
We
had
a
proposal
for
a
Ada
accessible
unit
at
grade
for
five
total
units.
BM
We
had
a
truncated
board
in
light
of
a
motion
to
approve.
We
had
four
votes
to
two
in
a
motion
to
approve
before
the
prior
zba
board.
The
bpda
did
opine
at
that
meeting
that
our
height
was
accessible
or
an
MFR
sub-district,
but
in
the
fact
that
we
are
in
a
coastal
flood
resilience
overlay
District.
They
took
a
Note
2
or
exception
to
our
calling
for
livable
square
footage.
On
the
first
floor,
we
had
further
Communications
with
bpda.
Following
that
zba
meeting
in
July.
We
have
updated
our
plans.
BM
We
presented
two
ISD
seeking
to
reduce
the
number
of
units
in
our
structure
from
five
to
four.
No
current
livable
square
footage
proposed
at
grade.
So
we
are
recalling
for
now
four
units
of
four
dwelling
units
on
Floors
two
through
four.
These
plans
have
been
represented
to
bpda
and
I'll.
Certainly
let
the
bpda
opine
directly
on
updates,
but
we
believe
we
have
their
updated
blessing
so
again
the
synopsis
of
what
is
before.
You
is
four
stories:
five
off
street
parking
spaces
for
total
dwelling
units
on
combined
floors,
two
through
four.
BM
So
one
note
is
that
we
had
in
removal
of
our
Ada
unit.
We
did
have
to
make
a
floor
at
least
floors
two
for
two
units
accessible.
So
there
is
a
limited
use,
limited
access,
lift
to
help
make
units
the
two
units
on
floor,
two
Ada
accessible.
B
Okay,
it
doesn't
sound
like
it
so
so
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
in
their
recommendation
they
commented
about
potentially
reducing
parking
spaces
to
address
maneuverability.
That
was
this
brought
up,
and
can
you
address
that.
BM
Yes,
well,
we
have
been
walking
the
fine
Dynamic
of
the
city
in
local
stakeholders
wanting
more
parking.
The
BP
Ada
has
previously
opined
at
our
last
zba
hearing
that
they
wanted
to
see
less.
So
we
had
four
proposal.
Four
proposed
parking
spaces
for
our
last
iteration
in
the
complete
removal
of
all
of
our
livable
square
footage.
On
the
on
the
first
level,
we
have
more
than
enough
room
for
parking
in
comparison.
What
we
used
to
have
so
the
current
proposal
is
for
five
total
spaces.
AC
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
England
with
the
nearest
office,
Neighborhood
Services,
the
San
Andreas
office,
defer
to
the
Judgment.
That's
born
the
applicant
met
with
on
us,
and
we
held
in
Butters
meeting
in
January,
where
Butters
that
were
in
attendance
were
supported
with
this
proposal,
they've
also
been
in
communication
with
the
local
Civic
group
and
had
constructive
conversations
with
them
with
that
we
refer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank
you.
BR
Office,
the
counselor
would
like
to
conquering
support
based
on
a
good
Community
process
and
good
faith
compromises
with
neighbors
and
the
Civic
group,
such
as
removing
a
rule
pack
from
The
Proposal.
The
proponent
has
since
reduced
the
unicorn,
and
the
project
now
extends
to
be
four
units
with
price
parking
spaces.

Is
hi?
This
is
Rebecca
Lee
I'm,
a
real
estate
attorney
with
men's
One
Financial
Center
Boston.
We
represent
Boston
Specialties
Dr
John
Leung,
who
is
Seeking
a
conditional
use
permit
to
move
his
practice
from
a
Harrison
Avenue
building
in
Chinatown
to
the
building
six
known
as
6585
Kneeland,
Street,
or
usually
known
as
75
Millen
Street
in
Chinatown.
This
is
a
mixed-juced
building
with
other
medical
and
institutional
facilities
in
it.
BT
The
only
reason
this
requires
a
conditional
use
premise
is
that
the
office
is
designed
to
accommodate
a
range
of
activities
like
allergy
testing,
allergy
other
procedures,
and
so
it's
approximate
over
6
000
square
feet
and
it
requires
a
conditional
use
permit.
Otherwise,
the
use
itself
is
consonant
with
other
uses
both
within
this
building
and
in
the
area
will
not
have
any
adverse
impacts
outside
the
space,
which
is
a
ground
floor.
Space
on
the
corner
of
Neyland
and
Hudson
Street
I
know
this
is
your
last
hearing.
BT
We
have
letters
of
support
with
our
application,
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have,
but
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Thank.
B
You
Ms
Lee
fairly
straightforward
any
questions
from
the
board.
Okay,
with
that
may
I
have
public
testimony.
G
And
no
and
excuse
me
Madam
chair,
but
yes,
we
do
have.
We
have
brothers,
don't
support
on
here.
G
AC
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Connor,
you
moved
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
at
this
time.
The
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
I'm
understanding
there
is
Community
Support
CMC
and
the
CRA
have
both
indicated
their
support
for
this
proposal.
With
that
we
refer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.

saves
this

to
make
up
for
last
time,
so
good,
good
job
guys.
Thank
you
all.
