Description
Part 2: https://youtu.be/ZAXKtxpKeiM
Zoning regulates the use and dimensional boundaries of privately owned buildings and land. The Zoning code is in place to protect the neighborhoods from the construction of buildings or structures that do not fit into the context of a neighborhood.

The

first-time

they'll
be
right
together
and
can
just
be
made
as
a
simple
blanket
motion
for
the

in
POA

for.
H
G
Address

River
Street.
The
second

So
the

Coleman,

I
believe

or

do
not.
This
is
their
first
surprise.
B
D
Grant
the
extension
to

I
Thank

madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Jeff

Toscano,
with
the
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
at
587
Albany
Street.
This
was
an
approved
zoning
project
that
had
been
under
a
previous
extension.
There
was
a
outside
lawsuit
that
had
to
be
settled
that
got
settled
and
we
are
currently
in
working
with
the
South
End
landmarks,
District
review
process
and
we're
close
to
finishing
that
with
them.
I
A
A
D
D
G
Inspired
of
November
of
last
year
we're
requesting
a
second
extension.
The
first
case
is
DOA
914212,
the
address
of
79
Devon
Street.
The
second
case
is
BOA
734154,
with
the
address
of
14,
glenson,
Street
or
the
active
clinic
for
the
representative
president.
L
L
I'm,
just
gonna
try
to
make
you
a
panelist
I'm,
not
sure
I
did
unmute
you
once
you
become
a
panelist,
you
can
unmute
yourself,
not
sure
if
you're
having
sound
issues,
but
you
are,
you
do
have
the
option
to
do
that.
B
M
Yes,
so
good
morning,
everyone
but
I'm
sure
and
members
of
the
board
it
was-
is
with
great
pleasure
that
I
come
to
you
to
request
this
extension
in
this
particular
project
at
the
time
that
we
started.
Unfortunately,
a
few
months
later,
he
hit
the
pandemic
and
as
a
company
we
had
to
choose
between
putting
all
of
our
efforts
in
helping
the
tenants
to
find
government
assistance
and
put
them
back
on
their
feet.
M
We
basically
hire
a
whole
team
to
dedicate
to
Safe
lawyer
tenants
that
were
like
more
than
half
of
them
affected
by
the
pandemic.
Also,
we
had
a
shortage
of
workers
at
the
time
that
wouldn't
allowed
us
to
complete
the
project
on
a
timely
manner.
That's
why
we
requested
the
second,
the
first
extension
and
then
also
we
had
a
supply
and
chain
issue
that
has
been
resolved.
As
of
now,
we
have
a
team
ready
to
work
in
the
project
again
like
by
the
time
of
the
pandemic.
M
We
were
like
I
affected
by
tenants,
not
paying
rent
and
that
definitely
make
a
significant
impact
on
our
financial
possibilities
to
carry
the
two
projects,
but
we
are
in
a
better
position.
Now
we
are
very
happy
that
we
were
able
to
overcome,
like
all
the
problems
that
the
pandemic
bring
to
us
and
we
are
trying
to
create
like
more
affordable
housing,
with
a
focus
on
green
technologies
such
as
high
efficiency,
air
conditioners.
We
are
have
insulated
the
home
and
we
believe
that
this
can
be
a
beautiful
home
that
will
bring
development
to
the
community.
M
B
B
Thank
you
may
I
have
a
motion.
N
B
M
G
Experiencing
unanticipated
delays
in
soil,
testing
and
moh
is
assisting
with
this
testing.
For
that
information.
I'll
read
these
into
the
records.
The
first
is
BOA
834-4506,
with
the
address
of
98th.
Street
next
case
is
BOA
834511.
It's
an
address
at
100,
Street.
G
O
G
O
Kendra
Owen
present.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
yeah,
yes,
okay!
Thank
you
good
morning,
members
of
the
board
and
Madam
chairperson.
This
is
I'm
the
applicant
I'm.
Also
the
developer.
O
This
project
was
a
sister
project
to
another
project:
that's
under
construction
right
now
on
Magnolia,
Street
and
Woodford
streets,
where
at
about
90
completion
on
that
project.
So
originally,
when
I
was
designated
for
both
of
these
projects
through
the
neighborhood
homes
initiative
and
the
DND,
we
decided
to
bifurcate
the
projects
due
to
the
lender,
having
funding
mitigation
constraints
to
not
fund
the
whole
project
at
once,
so
we
split
them
into.
O
Unfortunately,
it
was
in
the
middle
of
the
pandemic
when
this
was
done
and
we
are
looking
for
a
year
extension,
albeit
I,
believe
the
extent.
The
original
extensions
of
these
projects
has
expired
as
well.
So
I'm,
looking
for
12
months
from
today,
I'm
hoping
to
get
permits
in
hand
by
the
spring
of
2024
for
this
project.
O
So,
but
we
like
to
keep
pushing
forward
if
you
would
grade.
The
extensions
here
would
be
very
grateful.
Thank.
D
P
G
The
next
case,
the
movies
expired
a
March
of
2023,
but
it
is
the
second
request
of
the
accident.
That
case
is
BOA
1033-474,
with
the
address
of
one
Highgate,
Street
and
I
believe
attorney.
Jeff
griega
is
here.
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago
at
Drago
and
Toscano,
one
of
the
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street
Aaron
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
of
what
I
gave.
This
was
actually
part
of
a
larger
articulating
project
that
was
approved
and
we
went
before
this
board
and
received
an
extension
before
those
other,
because
this
is
one
of
four
different
buildings
with
companion
cases.
I
So
we've
got
the
extension
for
the
other
buildings
in
March
of
2023
that
would
run
to
2024
just
because
of
an
oversight
of
ours.
We
forgot
this
particular
address
along
with
the
other
permits.
This
project
will
likely
be
underway
in
the
next
six
months.
Part
of
it
has
already
started
it's
being
phased
in,
so
we
are
seeking
an
extension
that,
if
possible,
could
run
with
the
ones
that
were
granted
for
the
companion
cases.
B
E
P
G
The
last
case
for
extensions
also
releases
expired
from
November
of
2022,
but
this
is
the
first
requestment
extension.
It
would
be
a
boa
of
104
7748
and
the
address
is
3992
for
3996,
Washington,
Street
and
I
believe
this
is.
I
Thank
you
Javier
again.
Thank
you,
madam
chairman,
was
the
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago,
with
Drago
and
Toscano,
with
the
business
address
of
11
Beacon
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
This
was
also
an
article
80
approved
project
for
18
units
and
one
commercial
space
for
this
project.
It
was
approved
and
signed
back
in
November
of
2020
by
the
board.
Obviously
that
was
right
in
the
heart
of
covid.
I
I
What
happened
was
there
was
some
contamination
on
the
site
when
they
submitted
their
full
set
of
plans
that
contamination
changed
where
the
stacker
parking
system
would
go
due
to
that,
the
plans
were
put
on
hold
and
that's
where
there
was
just
some
infusion
on
their
part
where
they
were
already
operating.
They
were
under
the
impression
that
the
permits
were
still
valid
come
to
find
out
that
they
had
expired
later
that
year,
so
we
are
seeking
an
extension.
I
I
So
we
could
start
it
from
when
it
expired.
That's
not
an
issue.
If
the
board
sees
fit
or
from
right
now
either
one
is
fine.
G
Madam,
chair
I
would
recommend
just
to
extend
it
from
today's
date.
Okay,
any.
D
E
H
K
Mrs

good

Madam

The

was
built.
The
plans
examiner
came

cited
us
for
one
violation,
which
was
lots
lot

The

before

for
zoning
violations
to
add
a
roof
deck
or
add
two
roof
decks
for
the
two
top
tenants
in
this
building.
They
had
proposed
extending
one

the
stairs
direct
one

the
building
stairs
directly
to
the
top
and
out
using
that
as
that

The

Arlington

in
Boston,

a
result
of
a
fairly
extensive
Community
review
process.
There
have
been
some
changes
made
to
the
plans
with
input
from
various
groups,
including
the
Apple
Dean
historic
commission,
and
those

base
their

on
the
revised

so
we're
seeking
deferral
to
the
next
available
date.
Please
thank.

G
Javier,
so
go
to

would
suggest

Four

will
be
located
at
grade
under
the
addition,
as
well
as
another
four
parking

in
the
rear

Two
and
three

above
the
parking
will
contain
two
two
bedroom
units,
ranging
from
1038
square
feet
to

Approximately
1133
square
feet
will
be
located
on
the
first

another
unit
which
will
be

This
proposal
is
located
within
a
three
F
4000
sub-district,
which
triggers
a
violation
of
the
code
for

We
also
have
three
other
violations.
Associated.
We
have
a
lot
area
insufficient.
The

area
here
is

there's
only
cold

for
a
10

square
feet
far
a
point,
a
is
what
is
allowed
and
the
proposal
is
calling
for
a
0.97.
We
have
a
usable
open
space
violation,
650
square
feet
is
compliant
per
unit
and
the
proposal
calls
for
approximately
248
square
feet
per
unit.
N
One
thing
that
I
think
is
worth
notating:
the
pre-existing
of
open
space
as
it
calls
for
was
395
square
feet.
So
again,
there
was
a
pre-existing
non-conforming
issue
at
this
point,
I'm
going
to
pause
and
turn
it
over
to
the
board
for
any
questions
or
comments.
D
Good
morning
Madam
chair
members
that
before
I
can't
receive
Wilson
from
Council
Murphy's
office,
the
applicant
has
worked
with
the
community
throughout
the
process
and
listened
to
the
butters.
They
remove
the
basement
unit
added
more
parking
and
increased
the
amount
of
Green
Space,
because
of
this
account
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.
D
R
Good
morning,
Madam
chairman,
this
is
the
board
Frank
Mendoza,
also
sprightly
Ace.
On
the
other
hand,
for
911
Holton
Street
had
a
first
meeting
on
April
April
11th
voters
present
had
concerns
about
asbestos
mitigation
and
basement
space.
You
should
have.
The
board
also
should
have
received
a
letter
from
the
Austin
Civic
association's
president
Anthony
desidoro
earlier
this
morning.
Regarding
the
project,
the
Austin
civic
association
reflected
the
concerns
of
the
neighbors
and
is
deferring
to
the
Judgment.
R
Given
the
concern
about
the
public
notice
for
the
project,
I
believe
Tony
desidoro
is
on
to
testify
as
well,
but
the
concern
is
essentially
that
the
purpose
did
not
reflect
the
intended
change
of
occupancy
of
the
addition
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
report.
Thank
you.
F
F
L
L
You
Tony.
J
Good
morning
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Tony
desidoro,
representing
the
Austin
civic
association,
I,
just
logged
on
so
I'm,
assuming
you
are
discussing
9
to
11
Holton.
Yes,
you
know
awesome
great.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I.
Just
wanted
to
reiterate
we
just
sent
in
a
a
letter.
J
The
the
proponent
has
been
responsive
in
the
sense
that
it
was
an
illegal
apartment
in
the
basement
of
the
complex,
and
we
had
asked
that
that
be
removed
and
that
it
be
used
just
for
Mechanicals
and
storage,
and
the
proponents
agreed
to
do
that.
Reducing
the
Unicom
from
six
to
five,
the
confusion
with
us,
and
it
really.
It
really
is
very
misleading.
J
The
biggest
concern
that
a
lot
of
local
avadas
who
are
very
active
in
the
community
had
with
the
project
was
the
density
taking
of
open
space
the
parking,
how
they
did
it
under
the
addition,
but,
more
importantly,
increasing
the
unit
count
from
three
to
five
units.
If
you
notice
in
the
public
announcement
on
the
agenda,
there
is
no
mention
of
a
change
of
occupancy.
J
But
there's
no,
no
indication
on
that
as
as
to
the
public
announcement,
so
I
would
I
would
hope
that,
if
that's
the
case
that
we
would
defer
and
allow
this
proposal
to
be
re-advertised
again
correctly,
indicating
that
not
only
is
it
an
addition,
but
it's
a
change
of
occupancy
from
three
to
five
units.
Thank
you.

Any
other
raised
hands
six
caller
617-787.
H
N
N
Chair,
if
I
can
just
respond
to
that,
yes,
please,
so
that
was
so.
We
had
multiple
Butters
meetings
on
this,
and
that
was
one
issue
that
was
raised
to
us.
So
we
did
fix
that
correction.
As
far
as
the
advertisement
and
Mr
Mendoza
can
confirm
that
we
voluntarily
hosted
a
secular
party's
meeting
fixing
that
advertisement.
There
was
no
ill
intentions
of
the
actual
language
that
was
used
when
filing
this
application.
So
again
we
did
reissue.
N
The
butters
flyer
hosted
a
second
about
his
meeting
as
well
as
met
with
Mr
desidero's
organization
as
well.
In
those
meetings
were
actually
informed.
I
get
that
the
zba
may
not
have
had
the
correct
language,
but
again
that
language
was
resubmitted.
C
Madam,
chair
I
have
one
question
regarding
the
amount
of
parking
space
so
for
five
units
you
are
proposing
eight
eight
spaces
for
cars
and
I
just
find
it
to
be
taking
up
a
lot
of
the
open
space
with
the
added
density
on
the
property.
Can
you
can
you
discuss
why
a
parking
spaces.
N
Yes,
so
the
one
of
the
concerns
that
we
did
hear
from
the
about
us
was
actual
parking
spaces,
so
we
wanted
to
be
compliant
with.
It
was
actually
being
requested
of
us,
so
we
did
provide.
We
were
able
to
provide
for
the
eight
parking
spaces.
That
was
the
whole
reasoning
behind
it.
P
H
N
Yep
so
there's
four
two
bedrooms
and
there's
one
three
bedroom
unit
in
here,
so
they'll
all
be
divided
as
on
a
needed
basis
depending
upon
the
occupants.
N
O
B
Okay,
so
that
motion
does
not
carry.
Is
there
another
motion.
C
Madam
chair
I
like
to
make
a
motion
of
approval
with
a
Proviso
that
BP
Ada
does
a
site
plan
review
to
allow
for
addition
to
fill
out
for
open
space
and
to
reduce
the
amount
of
Extra
Spaces
for
Cars.
B
N
Yes,
Mr
secretary
members,
members
of
the
board,
Ryan
Spitz
Alexander
Ramsey,
with
the
business
address
of
168,
8th,
Street,
South
Boston
first
floor
again
with
me
today
is
Brian
McGrath
from
glenshade
properties,
as
well
as
the
architect
Alita
Alva
from
chewing
Associates.
N
A
few
of
you
board.
Members
may
recall
this
proposal
was
here
in
front
of
you
in
the
past
year
and
we
were
asked
a
few
things.
This
was
denied
with
El
Prejudice
and
asked
to
reduce
the
massing
of
the
building,
increase
the
green
space
and
add
walkways
for
the
left
side
of
the
building.
This
is
exactly
what
has
been
done
with
this
proposal.
The
current
site
consists
of
an
existing
deliberated
tree
family
in
the
garage
in
the
rare
lot
which
which
will
be
demolished.
N
This
proposal
is
to
erect
a
new
tree
story,
building
with
four
Town
Homes
ownership,
town
homes
with
seven
parking
spaces,
four
garage
spaces
and
three
visitor
parking
spaces
parking
will
be
accessed
by
utilizing
an
existing
curb
cut
in
a
driveway.
This
is
a
9000
square
foot
lot
with
a
total
of
9
100
square
feet
of
living
area.
This
proposal
is
located
within
a
2f
5000
sub-district.
N
The
four
Town
Homes
will
be
approximately
1800
square
feet
all
unit
layouts
will
marry
each
other
with
the
first
floor,
consisting
of
a
garage
for
one
car
in
office.
Space
in
the
rear
of
the
garage
second
floor
would
consist
of
a
kitchen
living
area
in
a
bedroom,
along
with
the
balcony,
approximately
two
feet:
eight
inches
by
eight
feet,
and
the
third
floor
will
consist
of
two
bedrooms.
The
proposed
far
in
this
location
for
this
proposal
is
a
0.88
and
a
0.6
is
what
is
allowed
by
code.
N
Building
height
is
under
code
as
we
are
providing
33.5
feet.
30
feet
is
what
is
required,
but
the
stories
is
excessive.
We're
proposing
three
stories
and
2.5
is
what
is
required,
but
consistent
with
this
neighborhood
front
yard,
we
have
violation,
we're
proposing
16
feet.
2
inches
20
feet
is
what's
required
by
the
code.
One
thing
I
want
to
highlight
is
that
the
existing
structure
is
non-compliant
as
that
current
structure
is
at
six
feet,
four
inches
and
lastly,
we
have
a
side
yard.
We
do
have
the
side
yard
violation.
We
have
we're
compliant.
N
We
have
compliant
on
the
right
hand,
side
as
we're
at
22
feet,
but
we
are
in
violation
on
the
left
hand
side
as
we're
proposing
three
feet
again,
that
we
are
separated
from
a
driveway
on
the
left-hand
side
to
the
next
dwelling,
where
approximately
about
15
feet
from
that
abundant
structure
and
the
last
violation
you'll
see
is
that
our
main
entrances?
We
have
a
violation
because
they're
not
directly
on
the
street
front,
they're
being
accessed
from
the
right
hand,
side
via
the
driveway,
where
the
parking
garage
is.
N
There
is
one
entrance
for
the
the
first
unit
closest
to
the
street
on
Austin,
as
you
can
see,
that
entrance
is
on
the
front
of
the
building
there.
So
again,
three
of
those
things
I
just
want
to
go
back
and
no
take
for
you
when
this
was
denied
was
decreasing.
The
massing
of
the
building
we
were
originally
at
five
units.
We
decreased
that
maximum
brought
it
down
to
four
units.
We
increased
the
actual
Green
Space
and
again
we
added
the
walkways
on
the
left-hand
side
of
the
building
which
were
recommended.
B
N
N
I
know
the
one
that
you're
talking
about
I
believe
it
may
be,
but
I'm
going
to
direct
towards
Elita
Alba
who's,
the
architect
that
is
with
us
today,
I
think
she
may
be
able
to
provide
more
insight
on
that
specific
tree
itself.
C
Because
it's
very
close
so
with
the
amount
of
construction
it'll
be
critical
to
try
to
preserve
to
preserve
that
tree.
I
know
that's
one
of
the
comments
that
the
bpda
had
regarding
preservations
of
the
of
the
trees,
but
it
only
seems
like
the
large
ones
right
in
front
versus
the
rear.
Just
from
my
colleagues
but
I
do
I
do
appreciate
the
improvements
on
this
project
in
regards
to
balancing
open
space
and
and
and
park
spaces.
Thank.

J
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Tony
disadora,
representing
the
Austin
civic
association.
This
is
a
project
that
began
as
the
proponent
was
saying,
as
a
I
believe,
five
unit
rental
building
with
some
serious
design
issues
and
density
issues
and,
as
was
noted,
the
proponent
has
been
very
responsive
to
the
community
and
the
feedback
that
they've
gotten.
We
believe
that
this
four
unit,
condo
townhouse
project,
is
a
is
a
huge
improvement
over
the
original,
and
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
L
B
Great
was
that
may
that
motion.
D
I
D
A
G
Journey
South,
yes,
ma'am,
Terry,
representative,
Nixon,
Zuma,
I'm,
not
sure
if
he's
here
but
I.
This
case
means
to
the
third
to
August
29th,
but
if
it
was
advertising
sort
of
incorrect
providers-
and
we
would
be
advertised
for
that
date,
okay,
so
all
we
need
is
a
motion
to
refer
to
August
29th.
G
B
A
D
G
Well,
the
next
schedule
of
communities
are
at
11,
so
I
believe
you
take
a
40
minute
break
I.
Think
it's
still
funny
right
now,
we'll
have
the
reason.
