D
A
Mayor
briefly,
just
the
reason
for
the
extension
and
when,
when
are
you
expecting
to
meet
it
until.
L
Okay
well
good
morning,
chair
members
of
the
board.
This
is
this
would
be
the
second
extension
of
this
matter.
The
first
one
was
in
December
of
2019
kind
of
right
in
the
beginning
of
of
the
pandemic
and
right
now,
what
we're
facing
is.
The
reasons
would
be
really
based
on
financial
and
construction
based.
L
A
Okay:
okay,
do
I
sorry.
A
F
When
does
it
expire
this?
This.
L
J
A
D
M
Good
morning,
Madam,
chair,
Mr
secretary
I,
want
to
say
welcome
to
all
of
the
new
board
members
I
wish
you
well
and
you're.
Endeavors
I
represent
the
applicant
of
80
to
88
Wells
Avenue.
This
was
a
the
board
granted
this
the
variances
back
in
January
of
2019.
I,
like
the
previous
extension
requester,
where
my
client
was
affected
by
the
pandemic
as
well,
and
it
was
two
extensions
that
have
been
granted
for
this
particular
project,
the
last
of
which
expires
on
March
of
this
year.
March
1st
2023.
M
The
reasons
for
that
Madam,
chair
and
members
is
very
similar
to
the
previous
matter.
One
was
the
pandemic.
Two
is
the
financing
of
three
is
in
turn
to
the
construction.
Now
my
client
is
presently
in
the
planning
process.
The
planning
process
has
taken
longer
than
anticipated,
or
hopefully
would
be
breaking
ground
soon
or
would
need
this
extension
to
get
past
the
March
1st
2023rd
date.

What's
an
address
of

Evelyn
Street
is
the
applicants
or
the
participant
team
member
president.
A
It's
now
didn't
need
for
the
extension
and
the
extension
period
that
you're
requesting.
P
Requesting
the
one
year,
Accenture
period
from
today,
to
allow
us
more
time
to
work
with
the
building
department
to
submit
plans,
we
had
a
delay
due
to
again
similar
to
the
other
applicants
rise
in
interest
rates
and
the
market
conditions
like
to
request
a
one-year
extension
from
today.
Please.
A
Q
J
A
R
Yes,
good
morning,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Greg.
Minot
I
am
representing
24
Westminster
Avenue
and
requesting
a
one-year
extension
to
allow
us
to
complete
our
financing
application
with
moh.
R
We
had
some
litigation
with
the
abanter,
which
was
resolved,
which
caused
the
delay.
Now
that's
been
cleared
and
and
we're
requesting
the
one-year
extension.
A
J
A
D
S
Yes,
good
thing:
Madam
chair
in
that
report,
my
name
is
Timothy
Burke
I
have
that
address:
142
Berkeley
Street
in
Boston
and
I'm
the
architect
for
the
project.
We
are
been
trying
to
work
to
get
things
going.
We've
had
some
struggles
with
contractors
and
and
financing,
but
we're
hoping
to
get
that
ready
for
this
summer,
and
so
this
will
be
I
think
the
last
extension
we
would
request
and
would
appreciate
that
very
much
for
one
year
from
to
February
11th
2024.
J
J
D
T
Good
morning,
Madam,
chair
and
Eric
zackerson
architect
for
the
project
the
owner
was
unable
to
join
us
this
morning,
but
asked
me
to
ask
for
an
extension.
Basically,
when
this
was
a
approved
about
two
years
ago,
he
was
hoping
to
build
the
project
himself.
He
had
owned
the
building
for
a
while
was
unable
to
find
the
find
the
appropriate
contractor
and
then
has
spent
the
last
six
months
or
so
finding
a
buyer
security.
Buyer
is
transferring
the
property
to
a
new
buyer
who
wants
to
build
it.
A
Thank
you
may
I
have
a
motion.
A
Sorry
today
did
I
hear
Mr
stumbridge,
yes,
okay,
Mr,
Collins,.
J
V
My
name
is
Demetrius
Jane
and
I
have
Christian
Lewis
for
owner
with
me.
We
got
ourselves
to
a
mess.
We
hired
a
company
called
a
Contracting
through
represent
us
to
pretty
much.
Actually
he
told
us
he
could
get
the
project
moved
very
fast
within
six
months.
V
Here
we
are
within
a
year
after
a
year.
Nothing
has
done,
and
we've
been
trying
to
talk
to
them.
Get
updates
find
out
where
we
are.
He.
He
wants
people
to
give
us
a
straight
answer
where
the
project
is
we
with
it
with
him
as
of
last
month,
because
he
was,
he
was
pretty
much
not
qualified
to
help
us.
V
Until
next
year
we
would
like
to
get
a
full
year.
I
was
expecting
that
way.
We
can
get
ourselves
ready
with
a
new
arm,
GC
see
if
we
can
get
moving.
D
W
J
A
D
X
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Richard
Linz
on
behalf
of
97th
quarter
LLC.
As
the
secretary
indicated,
this
is
a
matter
that
was
approved
by
the
board
back
in
2021,
a
decision
filing
date
was
actually
January.
13Th
of
2021.
Y
A
Okay,
we
just
need
to
really
understand
when
you
get
the
extension
until
when
yeah.
X
So
we're
actually
Madam.
X
Confirmation
of
what
the
expiration
date
would
be
in
light
of
litigation
litigation
was
pending
through
October
of
2022
when
the
Judgment
dismissal
was
ultimately
filed
with
the
court.
Therefore,
based
upon
the
math
and
tolling
under
the
Belfort
decision,
we
would
like
the
board
to
confirm
that
the
actual
expiration
date
is
now
October,
8th,
2024,
essentially
taking
into
account
the
period
for
which
the
litigation
was
pending,
essentially
stops
the
clock
on
the
two-year
limit
to
make
use
of
the
variance.
So
that
is
our
request
reporter
board
this
morning,.
J
A
D
A
D
D
J
A
Q
Do
a
Madam
chair,
so
what
you're
looking
at
is
surrendering
of
a
proposal
to
combine
and
then
resubdivide
three
lots
and
to
a
rack
to
three
unit
residential
condominium
building
at
45
Shepard
Street,
which
you're
looking
at
in
this
rendering
here
the
unit
will
contain
three
units,
as
was
mentioned
all
condo
and
five
interior
parking
spaces
that
would
go
along
with
those
units
that
are
all
housed
on
the
ground
level,
the
particular
sub
District.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
Madam
Ambassador
is
a
2f
5000.
Our
lot
is
5014
square
feet.
Q
U
Sorry,
madam
chair,
yes,
this
this
case
is
actually
with
a
translator.
G
Q
Right
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please.
A
Commissary,
can
you
confirm
I'm?
Sorry,
because
you
said
three
units
and
the
listing
says
six
units
with
nine
parking
spaces
that.
Q
Was
the
so
the
the
projects
of
Madam
chair
has
really
been
modified
over
time
we
started
at
nine
and
went
down
to
six
I
went
down
to
four
and
now
with
Community
Practice,
rf3,
correct
and
the
plants
that
have
were
submitted.
The
final
set
were
reviewed
by
ISD
show
the
three
units
with
the
five
part
spaces.
Thank
you
come
on.
Okay,.
Z
Z
Z
Q
Z
Q
Q
Z
Q
Z
Q
Now,
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
it
just
starts
to
show
the
upper
levels
I'm
going
to
run
through
these
very
quickly.
The
second
level
houses
unit,
one
1665
square
foot,
three
bedroom
with
a
front
deck.
Z
Z
Z
Q
Then,
finally,
as
we
go
up
to
the
top
floor,
we
actually
through
the
process,
removed
the
roof,
deck
and
so
level.
Four
just
has
a
walkout
Terrace
area,
and
that
house
is
unit
two
and
unit
three's
Opera
level,
which
house
additional
bedrooms.
Those
Terraces.
Z
Q
This
is
a
2f
district.
We
are
proposing
three
units,
although,
as
I
showed
the
board,
there
is
plenty
of
examples
of
multi-family
threes
in
the
area.
Z
A
Q
Q
Or
side
yard
a
10
would
be
required.
We
do
have
five
on
the
right
side,
but
we
have
21
feet
on
the
left,
which
we
were
asked
to
provide
to
add
additional
ring
space.
Q
Required
we're
at
11,
which
is
very
close
to
most
of
the
buildings
in
the
area,
if
not
more,
and
we
actually
working
with
the
counselor's
office
and
the
butters
have
agreed
to
provide
full
screening
and
buffering
in
the
back
rare
side
to
the
project
with
landscape,
as
well
as
fencing.
Q
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Drago,
Mr
Collins.
Have
you
reviewed
the
plans.
Z
F
Madam
chair
I
just
want
to
confirm
the
parking
is
access
through
a
front
yard
curb
cut.
Is
that
correct
and
a
couple
more
questions?
Are
these
condos
or
rental,
and
can
you
go
over
access
to
the
roof
deck
foreign.
Q
We
took
the
roof
deck
off,
so
this
is
just
a
walk
out
from
the
top
floor:
room
from
the
bedroom
through
access
door
and
condos.
D
Thank
you,
Madam,
chair
and
pause
for.
D
I,
have
you
do
have
a
note
here
from
Bob
D'amico?
Okay,
thank
you,
BTD,
saying
that
he
approves
of
of
both
plans
for
83.91
and
93
Union
Street.
A
Okay,
thank
you
that
is
helpful
and
just
and
I
know
someone
usually
asks
about
bpda,
so
I'm
just
going
to
note
that
bpda
provided
a
recommendation
based
on
six
units
and
so
I,
don't
know
if
Mr
Hampton
is
on
and
wants
to
comment.
AA
Chairman
Ford,
yes,
I
mean
our
recommendation
was
made
four
months
ago
yeah.
So
obviously
you
know
over
time.
The
plans
have
changed.
So
exactly
it's
recommended
under
six
and
for
a
denial.
A
C
Yeah
I
would
like
to
ask
if
you
have,
if
you
can
share
this
specific
reason,
why
the
project
lost
three
housing
units.
Z
Z
Q
You
Mr
Valencia,
that's
a
great
question.
We
we
did
want
to
go
forward
with
six
units,
although
we
had
multiple
meetings
over
almost
a
two-year
period
with
our
neighbors
of
Butters,
the
counselor's
office
that
had
concerns
about
the
number
of
units
on
this
lot.
So
in
our
working
with
them.
We
that's
why
we
reduced
the
project
down
to
three
which
they
felt
was
more
fitting
to
the
area,
a.
A
AB
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Frank
Mendoza
here
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
here
to
testify
that
the
applicant
conducted
a
community
Outreach
process
through
our
office.
They
met
with
the
bright
Nelson
Improvement
Association
had
a
number
of
Buddhist
meetings.
The
previous
the
last
supplies
meeting
we
hosted
Terry
was
present
as
well
as
a
mandarin
interpreter
as
well.
AB
We
had
collected
a
number
of
letters
of
both
support
and
opposition,
which
we
forwarded
to
the
board
and,
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank.
AC
AB
U
AD
Morning
this
is
Mara
McRae
from
councilor
Braden's
office.
The
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
the
project.
She'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
the
some
of
the
continued
concerns
from
the
butters
just
given
the
sort
of
tight
access
conditions
around
the
project
and
it's
this
location
next
to
a
private
road
that
is
needed
to
access
units
behind
this
proposed
project,
given
its
location.
AD
That
Council
would
like
to
ask
for
a
provision
for
screening
and
buffering,
particularly
in
the
rear
and
and
also
just
wants
to
put
on
the
record
that
the
proponent
has
assured
us
that
this
would
be
condo
units.
Thank
you.
D
Madam
chair:
yes,
we
have
yes
with
testimony.
We
have
a
good
number
of
letters
of
support
and
a
fair
number
of
letters
of
Poland.
U
I
AE
Right,
yes,
hello,

A
You

your
address
into
the
rec,
can
you
just
State
your
address
and
whether
you're
for

the
reasons.
AE
Thank
you.
The
address

Shepard
place
and
we
are
in
the
opposition
of
this
project.
AF
U
U

It's
Benjamin

it's
95

Union,

we
own
about
almost
all
of
the

which
is
a
budding
this
property.
So
Shepherd
plays
his
private
property
people.
The
neighbors
have
a
right
of
way
through
our
property.
It's
not
a
private
road
are.

Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
perfect?
Yes,
okay,
so
Laura
Moody,
58,
Shepherd
I
am
a
butter
for
this
project
in
opposition
and
the
reason
is
with
the
construction,
the
new
construction
of
56
Winship
on
one
side
and
then
adding
this
project
on
the
other
side
will
completely
Block
in
two
families
and
homes
on
Shepherd
place
and
impact
the
quality
of
life
of
adjacent
neighbors
for
very
little
benefit
of
the
neighborhood,
and
only
financial
gain
for
the
developer.
AH
U
AI
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Annabelle
Gomes
from
the
Brighton
ultimate
Improvement
Association,
just
like
to
go
on
record
that
the
proponent
has
come
to
the
Bia
three
or
four
times
with
different
designs
for
lines.
AI
Six,
four:
we
were
unable
to
vote
at
the
time
because
we
did
ask
for
them
to
go
back
with
the
mayor's
office
for
an
interpreter,
and
since
we
are
unable
to
have
an
interpreter
at
the
Bia,
we
cannot
have
the
neighbors
speak
and
it
has
gone
back
and
forth
a
lot
and
we
think
it
is
important
that
they
had
an
interpreter.
So
we
did
not
take
a
vote
on
on
this
matter
and
asked
the
board
to
go
ahead
and
vote
because
we
will
not
be
able
to
provide
it.
Thank.
AJ
AK
AH
AJ
AJ
AJ
AJ
Okay,
I'm
the
biggest
victims
of
this
constructions
of
the
number
45
distress
constructions.
I,
don't
think
they
should
build
this.
AJ
AJ
So
now
it's
say
that
it's
it's
supposed
to
be
one
family
living
there,
but
now
it
looks
like
there's
three
tweets
of
families
or
parties
living
there.
AK
A
AJ
So
this
dishonesty
is
totally
cheating.
This
is
dishonesty,
and
this
is
a
reasonable.
AK
AK
AJ
So
the
blueprint
has
changed,
but
then
but
then
constructions
area
is
remained
the
same.
It
cannot
be
as
taller
than
three-story
High.
AJ
This
is,
this
is
not
right,
yeah
the
trash
problem
and
the
parking
part
really
impacting
negatively
on
Resident
like
us.
Thank
you.
Okay,
any.
Q
May
I
respond
Madam
chairs?
Yes,
yes,
thank
you
so
just
to
point
out
quickly
one.
This
is
a
5014
square
foot
lot,
which
is
one
of
the
largest
in
that
area.
Next
to
us
is
apartment
complexes.
My
client
has
tried
to
address
every
single
comment
over
a
two-year
period
that
the
community
had
brought
up
from
lowering
the
height,
increasing
setbacks,
increasing
the
rare
yard,
side
yard
and
just
to
point
out,
we
can't
fit
I
mean
we're
at
five
parking
spaces
for
the
three
units.
Q
We
also
said
these
would
be
deed,
restricted
for
Homeowner
occupied
only
over
this
period
of
time,
there's
large
scale
development
behind
us
and
up
the
street
that
we
have
nothing
to
do
with
it.
I
think
many
of
the
neighbors
have
brought
up
as
concerns
with
trash
and
construction,
so
we
really
have
tried
to
be
upfront
and
address
every
concern.
F
F
Q
J
AL
If
it's
six
out
of
seven
I
believe
that
is
okay
and.
A
D
A
AM
We're
really
glad
to
be
here.
This
morning
we
were
first
before
the
board
on
June
7th
of
last
year.
AM
There
were
a
number
of
good
questions
about
the
project
from
abutters
and
others
in
the
neighborhood
several
neighbors,
including
secretary
Galvin,
who
lives
right
next
door
on
Lake
Street
recommended
a
deferral
and
the
proponent
of
the
board
deferred
at
that
time.
Since
then,
we've
worked
really
hard
to
answer
all
the
neighbors
questions,
primarily
around
the
specific
use
of
the
building
traffic
concerns
and
the
approach
to
parking
and
drop-offs.
AM
Among
other
things,
we
hired
a
transportation
consultant
Howard
Stein
Hudson,
to
study
the
traffic
generated
by
the
project.
This
has
been
at
this
point,
a
very
thorough
Community
process.
We've
had
three
neighborhood
meetings
hosted
by
hosted
by
the
mayor's
office.
AM
We
presented
twice
to
the
bright
Nelson,
Improvement,
Association
and
other
stakeholders,
so
after
that
working
Outreach,
we
think
many
of
the
neighbors
are
a
whole
lot
more
comfortable
with
the
project
than
they
were
last
year.
I,
don't
know
if
secretary
Galvin
is
able
to
attend
the
meeting
today,
but
we
understand
that
we've
addressed
the
issues
that
he
raised
his
satisfaction
so
before
I
proceed.
I
just
want
to
note
that
we
have
agreed
to
a
number
of
conditions
to
the
zoning
relief.
I
can
Circle
back
to
those
at
the
end.
AM
If
that's
the
best
way
to
do
that,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
we
get
those
on
the
record
okay,
so
launching
in
if
you
could
flip
back
to
the
next
to
the
previous
side.
AM
So
here's
the
here's,
the
context,
40
Lake
streets
on
the
corner
of
Lake,
Street
and
undyne
road,
it's
across
the
street,
from
BC's
School
of
Theology
and
just
to
the
South,
is
coming
off
the
Avenue
next
slide.
Please.
AM
The
members
are
high
cognitive,
young
adults,
who've
completed
High
School
many
have
completed
college
or
work
internships,
but
they're
young
people
who
can
experience
social
isolation
due
to
challenges
navigating
the
social
world
because
of
their
autism
and
they're.
Looking
to
connect
with
peers
for
friendship
and
Community
interactions.
AM
AM
The
the
common
rooms
use
is
much
different
from
what
people
usually
think
of
when
they
think
of
a
community
center.
That's
the
use
site
in
that
ISD
cited,
but
what
we
do
is
is
very
different
and
the
community
center
tags
led
to
questions
from
Neighbors
about
the
amount
of
activity
and
traffic
that
the
use
will
will
generate.
So
I
want
to
be
as
specific
as
we
can
about
the
common
rooms
use
of
the
building.
AM
The
plan
for
the
house
is
that
the
common
rooms
members
will
visit
during
the
day
and
some
evenings
for
small
group
activities,
groups
of
only
four
to
six
members
at
a
time
activities
include
things
like
playing
cards
or
other
games,
building,
Legos
learning
to
cook,
watching
a
movie
Arts
projects
crafting
projects,
things
like
that
really
sort
of
quiet,
intimate
kind
of
uses.
AM
AM
AM
We
just
want
to
note
that
very
few
of
the
members
will
drive.
Most
of
them
will
be
dropped
off
or
take
public
transportation.
The
green
line
is
just
south
of
the
project
site
at
Comm,
Ave
and
Howard
Stern
Hudson.
When
they
studied
it
really
found
that
there
will
be
a
negligible
traffic
impact.
AM
As
for
the
parking
plan,
so
this
view
this
undyne
road
view
shows
the
two
existing
curb
cuts.
The
one
to
the
left
leads
to
the
back
parking
area
and
the
one
to
the
right
is
an
existing
single
parking
space
next
slide.
Please.
AM
So
here's
the
parking
plan
there
are
a
total
of
seven
spaces
on
the
property
there's
room
for
four
spaces
in
the
back
parking
area,
there's
also
a
garage
within
the
house
off
of
the
back
parking
area.
We
chose
parking
for
an
additional
two
cars.
You
see
those
tandem
spaces
there
and
those
spaces.
The
organization
plans
to
be
used
by
the
by
the
caretaker
and
then
as
I
mentioned,
as
you
saw
in
the
previous
slide.
AM
There's
that
existing
single
parking
space
and
the
proposal
is
to
modify
that
space
to
maintain
it
and
modify
it
as
an
accessible
parking
space.
A
change
in
use
requires
an
accessible
route
from
an
arrival
Point
into
the
building,
and
the
existence
of
that
space
allows
us
to
really
Implement
what
our
accessibility
best
practices
to
connect
that
space
to
a
ramp
on
the
way
into
the
house.
AM
We've
heard
from
some
neighbors
about
concerns
about
the
ramp
design,
the
common
room
is
still
studying
it,
but
in
any
event,
the
the
organization
has
hired
a
landscape
architect
to
develop
a
really
first-rate
Landscaping
plans.
There's
really
the
goal
of
making
that
side
of
the
house
look
terrific.
AM
A
AB
They
met
with
the
Brighton
Austin
Improvement
Association
and
had
more
than
one
of
Butters
meeting,
and
while
we
did
forward
a
number
of
letters
of
both
support
and
opposition
to
the
board,
I
also
like
to
make
it
note
that
there
were
some
concerns
with
pickup
and
drop-off
concerns
about
the
handicap
ramp
as
configured,
particularly
that
it
might
remove
trees
and
shrubs
existing
on
the
plot
residents
also
hope
the
building
will
fit
in
with
the
character
of
the
residential
neighborhood.
AB
O
Good
morning,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
I
am
here
to
speak
in
support
of
the
common
room
at
40,
Lake
Street.
This
project
is
adds
a
valuable
opportunity
for
young
adults
with
on
the
autism
spectrum
and
we'll
meet
to
meet
in
a
supportive
environment
to
socialize
and
develop
their
confidence
and
social
skills.
This
will
be
an
incredibly
valuable
addition
to
our
neighborhood
and
the
meets
the
need
of
these
young
people
so
I'm
wholeheartedly
supporting
this
project.
Thank
you.
A

AI
They
did
come
back
to
the
Bia
afterwards,
but
with
no
significant
changes.
We
do
not
revote
the
only
significant
change
that
they
had
was
to
add
the
handicap
ramp,
which
raised
more
concerns
with
the
removal
of
the
trees,
the
Shrubbery
and
in
front
of
the
house
as
well
some
bushes.
AI
That
only
allows
for
one
car.
So
we
really
would
like
some
attention
being
brought
to
that
right.
There
possibly
moving
to
drop
off
on
Lake
Street,
where
there
is
no
cars
parked
in
front
of
the
house
and
addressing
how
this
ramp
can
be
done
without
ruining
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
and
keeping
the
Aesthetics
to
a
single
family
area
instead
of
having
two
car
pets,
a
huge
ramp
and
removing
the
trees
and
Shrubbery.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much.
Thank
you.
Matt.

Yes,
Mr
Steinberg.
Yes,
just
to
note
that
Bob,
the
minko
from
BTD
has
approved
the
plan
for
40

and
you
may
have
the
information
from

of
their
approval.

A
Thank
you.
You
answered
my
BTD
question.
D
And
let
me
please
let
me
add
that
there
are
many
letters
of
support
and
a
few
letters
of
of
opposition.
Also.
Y
U
AO
Yes,
Kevin
carragey,
58,
Crest,
Hill,
Road,
Brighton
I
am
enthusiastically
support
the
project
for
three
reasons.
First,
it
provides
much
needed
Services.
Second,
the
common
room's
been
responding
to
community
concerns
in
the
substantive
way
and
third
that
hasn't
been
spoken
about.
Our
brain's
got
a
long
history
of
being
a
welcoming
Community.
This
project
continues
that
tradition
ends
my
enthusiastic
support.
I.
Thank
the
board.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity.
U
AP
Now
this
is
Bill
Galvin
Mylene
is
my
wife:
I
live
in
William
F
Galvin
40
lit
46,
Lake
Street
Intermediate
of
butter.
Obviously,
we've
had
previous
discussions
with
the
board,
and
otherwise
my
greatest
concerns
I
think
have
been
addressed.
I
want
to
stay
completely
for
the
record,
though,
first
of
all,
to
make
sure
that
this
use
is
exclusive
to
this
particular
applicant
is
non-transferable,
I
believe
that's
part
of
The
Proposal.
Secondly,
it'll
be
subject
to
actual
time
review
by
the
board
at
a
later
date.
AP
I
believe
that's
Incorporated,
I
believe
it's
three
years
and
lastly,
and
we've
touched
upon
this-
of
the
discussion
so
far
has
touched
upon.
This
is
the
outside
of
the
building.
That
is
the
lawn
the
previous
proposal.
The
original
proposal
called
for
use
of
the
front
lawn,
at
least
on
theoretically
from
my
understanding
and
the
response
of
the
applicant
that
is
no
longer
under
active
consideration.
The
drop-off
is
a
continuing
issue.
I
would
only
point
out
it's
a
complicated
issue,
because
although
statements
have
been
made
about
undyne,
it's
also
undyne
road.
AP
That
is
it's
also
true,
that
Lake
Street
is
20,
22
feet
wide
and
very
narrow
I
think
that's
going
to
continue
to
concern
all
of
us
to
make
sure
that
there's
an
acceptable
approach
for
drop-offs,
whether
it
be
Uber
lists
and
private
passenger
cars.
Lastly,
I
want
to
mention
the
obviously
the
trees
and
shrubs
are
important,
but
I.
Think
overall,
the
project
has
responded
to
the
neighborhood
concern.
AP
I've
been
a
resident
of
Lake
Street
now
for
over
40
years
and
obviously
I'm
concerned
about
its
residential
character
and
this
proposal,
when
it
was
initially
introduced,
cause
concern
for
me,
but
I
do
think.
The
applicant
has
responded
in
a
very
responsive
way.
They've
addressed
the
concerns
that
have
been
raised
and,
at
this
point,
I
believe
it
should
go
forward.
Nevertheless,
I
think
the
issues
regulating
to
drop
off
and
how
one
gets
there
continues
to
be
should
be
considered.
Thank
you.
U
AQ
Yes,
Patrick
Galvin
34,
Lake,

Brighton
I'm,
a
director
butter,
my
my
brother's
just
decided
to
my
I'm
in
agreement
as
long
as
they
follow
their
the
things
they've
agreed
to
with
the
neighbors
I'm
in
favor
of
the
project.
I
think
everything
else
has
been
stated
so
as
long
as
they
agree
to
the
terms
that
we've
agreed
to
I'm
all
for
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
Hi,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
name
is
Deborah
Ray
I
live
on
48,
Lakeshore
Road,
so
I'm
not
at
the
rest
of
butter.
My
concerns
I
think
the
project
is
a
wonderful
project.
My
concern
is
about
cutting
down
mature
trees.
As
you
may
know,
Austin
Brighton
has
the
lowest
tree
cover
of
any
District
in
the
city,
and
this
lace,
extreme,
is
on
a
hill
anytime.
Trees
get
cut
down.
Groundwater
continues
to
go
down
the
hill,
and
this
year
one
spot
on
Lakeshore
Road.
G
A
And
can
the
applicant
address
a
couple
of
those
issues,
the
the
issue
around
Landscaping
trees,
Discovery
and
then
just
the
the
the
parking
the
drop-off
issue.
AM
Sure,
thank
you.
As
I
mentioned,
we're
continuing
to
study
the
ramp
design.
The
current
design
may
require
the
removal
of
that
one
of
the
existing
trees.
If
that's
required,
we
will
replant
a
tree
and
continue
with
other
Landscaping
that
will
mitigate
both
the
Landscaping
concerns
and
the
drainage
concerns
and
then
on
drop
off.
AM
You
know
when,
when
we've
taken
looks
at
the
street,
we
do
think
that
drop
off
on
undyne
is
probably
the
the
best
point.
But,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
committed
to
making
this
work,
especially
with
the
three-year
Sunset
that
we're
agreeing
to,
and
we
have
the
ability
to
manage,
pickup
and
drop
off.
We
can
pull
into
that
into
the
driveway.
If
it's
helpful,
we
can
drop
off
on
either
on
dine
or
Lake
Street
and
we'll
continue
to
work
with
the
neighborhood
to
see
what
what
works
best.
AA
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
We
recommended
approval
with
design
review
on
this,
just
to
focus
on
the
exterior
changes
and
also
for
Green
Space.
AA
We
also
asked
that
the
board
for
the
sunset
provision
on
this
approval
of
three
years
so
that
the
apology
back
and
give
an
update
for
this
use
in
our
original
recommendation
back
in
June,
we
recommended
that
the
front
yard's
based
on
the
money
takeaway
and
that
curve
could
be
closed,
because
if
you
see
in
the
pictures
now,
there
are
two
curved
cuts
within
five
feet
of
each
other.
So
we
recommended
that
those
that
that
space
be
taken
away.
AA
I'm
not
going
to
step
on
bottomico's
toes
that
BTD
feels
that
that's
attic.
That's
our.
A
You
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
F
I'll
make
a
motion
most
to
approve
this
applicant
only
with
a
a
a
Proviso
that
we
have
a
sunset
provision
for
this
approval
for
three
years
after
issuance
of
the
occupancy
permit,
so
that
the
Appellate
can
return
to
the
board
and
and
update
us
on
the
use
and
I'm
not
going
to
make
a
motion
on
the
parking
space.
It
sounds
like
there's
some
desire
to
keep
that
and
for
drop-offs
and
then
also
just
overall
design,
review
landscaping
and
buffering.
F
A
AN
AN

There
is
clarification
if
you
can
see:
oh
I
can't
zoom
in
okay,
there's
clarification
on
the
ceiling
height,
which
is
seven
and
six
you'll,
also
see
on
the
second
drawing
you're
in
the
demolition
drawings.
Right
now,
if
we
go
to
the
plan,
so
the
red
clouded
area
is
what
we
had
in
question
for
the
last
meeting.
What
you're
looking
at,
if
you
zoom
in
you'll,
see
there's
a
utility
room
and
there's
two
forms
of
egress.
AN
A
F
I
mean
we're
citing
far
multi-family
use
forbidden
off
street
parking
loading.
Can
you
address
those
violations
so.

you

Mr
Stembridge
any
any
notes
from
Mr
D'amico
in
part.
AB
Yes,
absolutely
good
morning,
Matt
chair
members
of
the
board
Frank
Mendoza,
here
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
Austin,
Brighton
liaison.
We
did
have
a
Butters
meeting
for
this
project.
They
also
reached
out
to
the
Brighton
Austin
Improvement
Association,
but
did
not
wind
up
being
able
to
testify
before
them.
So,
as
a
result,
the
Brighton
Austin
Improvement
Association,
represented
today
by
Annabella
Combs
I,
believe
in
the
participants
voted
to
oppose
the
project.
They
did
also
do
some
Outreach
with
the
Alston
civic
association.
AB
However,
citing
a
lack
of
proper
notification,
the
Austin
civic
association
sent
a
letter
this
morning
to
the
board
stating
that
they
would
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Beyond
that,
we
would
like
to
also
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
in
this
matter.
Thank
you.
AI
AI
They
also
said
it
was
three
units
and
that
they
were
getting
rid
of
the
additional
dwelling
unit
in
the
basement
and
today
they're
representing
it
again
to
the
board,
but
we
did
actually
vote
against
it
because
of
the
confusion
and
and
that
incomplete
information
that
was
presented
to
us
at
that
time
of
the
meeting.
They
also
said
that
they
were
thinking
of
doing
short-term
rentals
there,
which
raised
a
huge
flag
to
us.
So
we
have
major
concerns
about
the
presentation.
AI
AF
AS
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Tony
disadora,
representing
the
Austin
civic
association
I,
would
like
to
in
the
same,
carry
on
with
Annabella
just
said
about
the
confusion
to
the
ACA.
This
is
the
fourth
version
of
this
proposal.
The
first
version
was
a
three
family
with
an
Adu
unit,
and
we
explained
to
the
proponents.
You
can't
have
an
88
edu
unit
without
owner
occupancy,
because
I
hadn't
had
plans
to
occupy
the
building.
Then
we
had
a
three
family
with
a
finished
basement,
linked
to
the
first
floor
apartment.
AS
Then
we
had
a
three
family
with
an
unfinished
basement,
and
lo
and
behold
this
morning,
I
seen
it's
now
a
four
family
owner
occupied.
Now
that
I
talked
to
the
proponent
this
morning,
and
he
informed
me
that
he
now
plans
to
occupy
the
building
and
they
want
her
for
family.
So
talk
about
confusion,
I,
don't
know
how
any
Civic
organization
could
could
have
an
informed
judgment
and
assessment
of
this
property
when
it's
a
moving
Target
and
every
time
we
turn
around.
AS
The
proposal
has
changed
and,
like
I
said,
we
have
got
on
this
latest
one.
We
never
received
any
notification
prior
to
the
hearing
here
about
the
changes
I
mean
when
you
go
from
under
owner
unoccupied
to
owner
occupy,
and
then
you
go
now
from
three
to
four
units.
Those
are
major
changes
that
need
to
be
brought
back
to
the
Civic
organization,
so
we
just
defer
judgment
to
the
board
procedurally
as
to
how
we
move
forward
with
this.
I
Yes,
my
name
is
shamshir
Ali
I'm,
the
owner
of
this
property.
Okay,
to
the
question
it
in
fact,
I
am
not
from
this
field
of
you
know
business.
So
the
saying
of
short-term
to
the
to
the
question
of
Anna.
It
was
just
a
lack
of
knowledge
that
I
use
that
term.
They
just
just
want
to
clarify.
A
Okay,
so
can
can
you
address
the
concerns
about
the
confusion,
because
I
think
that
the
Board
needs
to
understand?
Yes,
next
step
is
and
whether
it
is
to
go
back
to
the
community.
Since
it
sounds.
I
Yes,
that
is
that
is
very
interesting
project.
You
know
they
they
both
parties
have
been
very,
very
kind
to
us.
It
is
all
because
of
my
lack
of
knowledge
that
I
use,
so
so
you
know
such
terms
that
created
kind
of
confusion,
because
I
don't
understand
when
they
say
Ada
and
Adu,
and
all
those
because
I.
A
Yes
and
then
we're
gonna
go
to
the
the
board.
Okay.
AN
Thanks
so
we
met
with
the
Bia
in
person
and
we
addressed
and
listened
to
the
community
answer
the
questions
at
the
time
they
mentioned
that.
AF
AN
We
got
into
consideration
I
if
the
owner
is
not
occupying
so
I
also
went
and
spoke
with
the
owner
and
talked
about
the
other
options,
and
that's
where
we
came
up
with
just
doing
a
ground
floor
unit,
because
it
is
at
ground
floor
and
we
would
create
an
ADA
unit
and
he
would
be
present.
This
was
not
something
that
we
did
reach
out
to
Tony
about.
So
Tony
apologies
on
that,
but
we
did
address
it
with
the
community.
AN
A
You
thank
you
just
just
to
make
sure
the
boards,
where
I
mean
the
the
BPD
recommendation,
is
based
on
a
three
six
converting
a
single
family
to
a
three
three
dwelling
with
an
Adu.
So
I
don't
know
if
Mr
Hampton,
you
want
to
address
that
before
the
board,
either
votes
or
discusses
further.
A
Okay,
so
just
so
folks
know,
that's
that's
what
they
were
basing
there.
The
recommendation
on,
which
was
the
now
without
prejudice
based
on
those
plans
being
submitted,
so
I'm
not
sure
any
questions
from
the
board.
C
I'm
in
general,
I
support
Adu
units
now
I
believe
that
I
I
think
this
project
still
needs
needs.
Some
work
in
conversations.
I
would
like
to
ask
the
proponent
to
prepare
a
presentation
for
them
for
next
time.
For
so
for
that
reason,
I
make
a
motion
to
the
fair
this
project,
and
so
we
can
see
here
coming
back
in
the
future
and.

AT
Yes,
I
am
good
morning
to
the
board
members:
I
am
the
Stephen
pettopass,
the
architect,
seven
Simpson
Street
West
Roxbury.
We,
the
violations
for
this
particular
project,
is
a
small
area
ratio
height
of
building
which
is
number
of
stories,
front
yard
side,
guys
setback
in
our
street
parking.
This
is
an
existing
two
and
a
half
story.
Non-Conforming.
AT
Non-Conforming
two-family
building
the
the
side
guard
in
front
yard.
Setbacks
are
existing,
the
project
does
not
is
not
going
to
further
violate
that
we
are
proposing
to
take
an
existing
unused,
attic
space
and
converted
into
a
third
unit,
thereby
increasingly
the
floor
area
ratio
by
1176
square
feet,
which
is
really
an
actual
increase
of
500
usable
speak
usable
square
feet
in
comparison
to
what's
there
now.
In
addition
to
that,
all
three
units
will
have
separate
entrances
to
each
of
the
units.
First
floor
is
entered
from
Arden.
AT
Street
second
floor
is
from
Coburn
Street.
Those
are
the
existing
units
and
the
third
unit
will
also
be
entered
from
Holborn
Street.
In
addition
to
that,
the
off
street
parking
currently
is
two
parking
spaces:
we're
not
proposing
to
increase
that
because
we
just
don't
have
the
physical
land
area
to
do
so.
AT
AU
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Conor
Newman
with
the
mayor,
soft's
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
back
information
on
the
community
process.
Our
office
held
two
buddies
meetings.
During
the
first
meeting.
There
were
some
concerns
over
the
loss
of
sunlight
from
the
Dormers,
as
well
as
some
concerns
expressed
about
parking.
As
they
indicated,
we
had
a
second
meeting
where
two
direct
voters
were
in
attendance
and
it
sounds
like
that
meeting
was
very
productive.
AU
D
J
D
AR
Yes,
Mr
Stembridge
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
George
morency
I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
at
350,
West
Broadway
in
South
Boston.
AR
My
clients
and
property
owners
are
Mark,
Little,
Brian,
Kaplan
and
Paris
McDermott
the
site
at
18
to
20
Parkman
Street
is
a
14
865
square
foot
site
and
it
is
located
within
a
2f
6000
zoning
sub-district
under
article
65,
the
Dorchester
neighborhood
zoning
article
I
point
out
that
the
plans
before
the
board
today
depict
a
revised
proposal
for
six
unit
condominium
building,
rather
than
the
nine
units
originally
applied
for.
With
nine
accessory
off
street
parking
spaces
plans
have
been
reviewed
by
ISP
by
the
plans
examiner
and
stamped
and
updated
for
today's
hearing.
AR
The
building
has
been
designed
to
use
much
of
the
same
architectural
language
of
other
buildings
on
Parkman
Street,
with
the
six
units
being
served
by
rear
parking
area
for
nine
boat
motor
vehicles.
In
response
to
concerns
expressed
a
community
meeting
stating
at
this
point
back
to
I,
believe
2019,
my
clients
are
gradually
reduced,
surface
parking
and
reduced
the
proposed
unit,
count
from
14
to
9
and
now
to
six
and
increased
usable
open
space
on
the
site.
AR
As
I
mentioned,
the
site
is
nearly
15
000
square
feet
as
plants
plants
show,
there's
a
13
foot,
four
inch
front
yard
setback
with
a
landscape,
lawn,
a
left
side,
setback
of
19
feet,
11,
inches,
a
right
size,
setback
of
13
feet,
eight
and
a
half
inches
and
a
rear
yard.
Setback
of
65.
Excuse
me
65
feet.
AR
Each
floor
of
the
building
would
have
two
side-by-side
units,
one
being
a
three
bedroom
and
one
being
a
four
bedroom
unit.
Making
these
condominium
units
ideally
suited
to
families.
The
unit
Square
footages
would
be
1490,
1510
and
1600
square
feet
for
the
three
bedroom
units
and
1880
1930
and
1930
again
for
the
four
bedroom
units.
AR
As
to
the
requested
zoning
relief,
there
are
four
stated
violations.
Primary
among
these
is
the
use
violation
as
a
six
family
dwelling
is
a
forbidden
use
within
this
two
f6000
sub-district,
which
is
the
present
site
I
hear
of
a
tree
family
dwelling
there's
also
a
violation
for
excessive
floor
area
ratio.
The
maximum
far
here
under
zoning
is
0.4,
and
this
building
would
be
at
0.81.
AR
A
mitigating
factor
in
support
of
these
requested
variances
is
that
the
lot
size
here
at
again
nearly
15
000
square
feet,
is
one
of
the
largest
Lots
or
the
largest
lot
I
should
say
on
this
on
the
street.
Aside
from
the
Jehovah's
Witnesses
hall
at
29,
Parkman
Street,
it
is
by
far
the
largest
lot
on
the
Block
85
percent
of
the
other
Lots
on
the
block
are
no
more
than
half
the
size
of
this
lot,
despite
its
large
size.
Most
of
the
lot
will
be
uncovered
by
the
proposed
structure.
AR
However,
however,
in
the
proposed
parking
area
has
been
reduced
to
a
reasonable
count
of
nine
spaces
for
six
units,
there's
sighted
height
violation,
the
height
limit
here,
is
two
and
a
half
stories
and
35
feet.
This
building
is
three
stories
and
33
and
one
half
feet
tall.
So
this
is
a
story:
height
violation
only
with
the
building
being
approximately
two
feet
under
the
maximum
vertical
height
limit
under
zoning.
Finally,
the
fourth
sided
violation
is
for
comply
chance
with
prevailing
mobile
front
yard
setback
of
the
street.
AR
The
fact
is
that
this
building's
setback
from
Parkman
Street
was
designed
to
complement
the
setbacks
of
the
nearest
buildings
on
both
the
left
and
the
right
and
as
I
mentioned,
therefore
allows
for
generous
landscape
front
yard
area
over
13
feet
in
depth.
With
that
Madam
Cheryl
pause
and
take
any
questions
that
board
members
may
have.
AW
AX
Sorry,
my
name
is
good
morning,
Madam
chair,
remember
at
the
board
of
chemistry
of
the
commands
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
This
project
has
gone
through
multiple
iterations,
the
last
three
and
a
half
years
and
through
three
about
his
meetings
hosted
by
our
office,
the
Christine
significantly
from
this
instruction
at
14
units
through
presently
six,
we
have
received
letter
of
support
from
members
of
the
board
of
Dorchester
Community
for
prior
proposals.
A
few.
The
fuse
point
of
civic
association
has
written
a
letter
of
support
for
the
project.
AX
AW
AW
And
in
regards
to
in
18
to
20
Park
Street
with
52,
guided
letters
of
opposition
and
no
significant
changes,
the
council
would
like
to
go
on
record
have
any
deferring
to
the
discretion
of
the
board
on
this
particular
project.
AW
No,
he
is
not
just
because
of
the
amount
of
letters
of
of
opposition
and
the
fact
that
no
changes
were
made
from
the
lab
from
the
last
time
the
project
came
before
the
board.
Okay,.
AY
Yeah,
my
name
is
Catherine
lobb
I
live
at
21
Parkman
Street
across
the
street
and
I'm
opposed
to
this
building,
because
it's
too
large,
too
many
units
and
basically
I'm
just
deposed,
because
it's
too
large.
AZ
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
also
city
council
at
large
Michael
Flaherty,
but
the
council
has
been
in
opposition
to
this
project
based
upon
the
the
unit
count
for
14
units,
then
the
nine
units
he
was
in
opposition
to
that.
As
of
now
the
project.
Now,
since
a
six
unit
Proposal
with
nine
parking
spots,
the
council
would
ask
the
opponent
to
continue
to
work
with
Neighbors
at
this
point,
with
the
six
unit
count
the
nine
squats
constantly
on
record.

my
name
is
Robert
zacardi
I
live
at
22
Parkman
Street
I
am
in
a
butter.
I
lived
in
this
house
since
1953.
BB
I
would
like
a
few
points
to
make.
It'll
only
take
me
a
minute.
This
is
Parkman.
Street
is
a
residential
street
and
it
consists
of
one
in
two
family
houses.
BB
BB
The
the
proposed
sex
unit
structures,
the
same
size,
12
434
square
feet
as
the
nine
unit
structure
Abacus
build
is
proposed
last
year.
The
building
design
is
not
compatible
with
the
existing
gable
roof
architecture
on
apartment
Street,
the
city
of
Boston,
assessed
the
1820
crockman
Street
at
at
its
price,
and
everybody
on
Parkman
Street
is
now
seeing
a
hundred
percent
more
in
their
property
taxes.
BB
H
A
Can
the
applicant
speak
to
the
whether
the
like
the
total
envelope
of
the
building
change
size
or
just
the
bedroom
just
the
unit
count.
AR
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
is
George
morency,
the
U.S
account
change.
My
clients
have
never
felt
that
this
building
is
too
large
for
the
site.
As
I
mentioned,
the
building
itself
occupies
less
than
half
of
this
fifteen
thousand
square
foot
lot,
but
there
has
been
a
preference
or
certainly
a
desire
in
certain
neighborhoods
for
family
size
housing.
These
units
are
about
three
and
four
bedrooms.
You
know
reading
just
opinion
pieces
that
have
appeared
in
the
media.
AR
A
Thank
you
with
that,
may
may
I
have
a
motion.
D
Before
we
do
that
Madam
chair,
just
to
note
that
there
are
many
letters
both
in
support
and
in
opposition.
A
Okay
and
I
know
Mr
Hampton,
your
your
recommendation
was
based
on
nine
units
and
so
we're
here
to
to
vote
on
six
units.
Any
other
questions
from
the
board
with
that
may
I
have
a
lotion.
F
I'll
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
bpga
design
review.

Yes,
good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Enrique
Pepin,
director
of
Network
Services
I,
have
the
applicant
here
with
me
in
the
office
who
needed
representation
so
she's
doing
it
from
from
our
office.
The
project
in
hand
here
is
changing
the
occupancy
to
a
hair
salon
at
the
above.
The
referenced
address
the
applicant
here
is
the
owner
of
it.
She's
gone
through
the
process.
BE
This
was
this
used
to
be
a
Metro
PCS
store
and
she's,
converting
it
into
a
hair
salon,
she's,
not
changing
anything
in
the
outside
and,
as
you
can
see,
this
is
the
layout
of
her
salon.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
pepper.
Any
questions
from
the
board
this
is
seems
pretty
straightforward,
may
I
have
a
public
testimony.
AU
A
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Shepard,.
I
J
B
B
the
the
application
and
the
plans
eat
all
other
areas
of
zoning
code.
Madam
Chan
with
regard
to
the
units
themselves,
they're
three
badge
two
baths
and
our
approximately
12
1200
square
feet.
I'll,
stop
there
and
sustain
any
questions
that
the
board
may
have.
A
All
right
with
that
may
I
have
all
the
testimony
good.
BF
Sorry
about
that
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
the
applicant
for
64
Parkwood,
held
in
the
butters
meeting
on
September
27th
2022,
with
16
total
participants
in
attendance
with
13
of
Butters
present
with
the
butters
presenting
the
special
support
there.
I've
also
been
numerous
expressions
of
opposition.
The
Great
American
neighborhood
council
is
opposed
on
what
they
were
initially
opposed,
but
they
have
since
updated
to
be
in
support
with
the
following
provisos,
so
they
would
like
the
application.
BF
The
applicant's
development
team
to
oh,
the
applicant's
development
team
has
worked
with
the
direct
about
us
to
address
significant
concerns
resolve
during
the
review
of
construction
management
plan,
the
abutters
with
the
support
of
the
gmnc
world
war,
closely
with
the
designated
general
contractor
to
address
concerns
that
will
significantly
affect
the
health
and
quality
of
life
for
the
directive.
BF
Others,
if
not
manage
judiciously,
so
they
do
believe
that
with
the
agreements
made
on
227-23
with
the
directories,
the
proponent
will
adhere
to
the
revealed
concerns
of
the
CMP
review,
construction
hours,
activation
noise,
dust
voting
control
and
all
of
that
so
as
of
now
I
believe
that
they
are
in
support
with
those.
Following
proposals-
and
we
do
have
two
letters
of
support-
one
letter
of
opposition
so
as
of
now
the
mayor's
office
for
the
first
of
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you
thank.

Good
morning
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Sean
McDaniels
and
I'm,
the
property
owner
at
68,
clarkwood
Street,
which
is
adjacent
to
this
property.
Coming
up
on
that
extensive
meeting
that
we
had
on
the
27th,
there
were
numerous
concerns
that
we
had
and
yes,
we
did
agree
that
we
would
work
closely
with
the
GC.
BC
However,
any
subcontractor
that
are
going
to
be
used
as
well
need
to
address
all
of
the
neighborhoods,
as
well
as
having
formal
introductions
before
they
come
in,
so
that
we
know
when
they're,
going
to
start
resurrecting
this
project.
What's
going
to
happen,
what's
going
to
take
place
in
terms
of
parking
parking
is
a
major
issue.
We
have
several
children
being
Brenda
Cheney
across
the
street,
her
grandchildren,
a
lifelong
member.
We
all
are
having
lived
on
clockwood

over
43
years,
her
grandchildren
have
direct
service

the
board,
my
name
is
Coletta

and
I
am
a
director
of
butter,
also
at
68
Concord
Street.
As
my
sister
just
stated,
you
know
we
still
have
a
lot
of
concerns.
The
lot
size
is
really
and
truly
too
small
for
the
proposed
plan
and
we
are
still
in
opposition.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
C
So,
can
you
tell
me
more
about
the
difference
in
the
design
for
the
connection
with
the
environment
on
that
roof.
B
Well,
yeah
the
proposal
for
the
three
family
I
think
further
down
the
street.
There
are
some
flat
Booth,
some
flat
houses
with
platforms,
but
you
know
in
order
to
get
the
proper
Headroom
on
them.
B
A
D
Right,
Madam,
chair
just
a
note,
if
you
don't
mind
yes,
sir
there's
a
lot
of
opposition
letters
of
opposition
and
signatures
and
support
also.

with
an
address
of
70
Whelan

are
there
any
other
people?
Oh
I'm,
sorry
bear
with
me
there's
a
companion
case
to
that
also
assembly
Whalen
Street,
so
that
I
asked
for
both.
If
there
are,
if
there
is
a
the
applicant
or
a
representative,
is
there?
Yes
thank.
D
I'm
sorry,
I
I
apologize
for
the
case
number
for
the
companion
case
is
BOA
143

Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago,
Rodrigo
and
Toscano
at
the
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
of
70
Whalen,
the
owner
Willie
Mandrell,
who
I
have
here
as
well
as
Talia
canistra
who's
the
architect
in
the
project
this.
But
what
you're
looking
at
is
an
existing
structure
at
70
whale
Street.
This
is
a
former
church
building
and
little
Zion
Church
of
God
that
was
decommissioned.
They
no
longer
use
this
as
a
congregation.
Q
My
client
purchased
it,
and
the
proposal
is
to
keep
the
existing
structure
so
there'd
be
no
work
except
to
clean
up
the
exterior,
but
to
build
everything
with
inside
the
building,
and
this
would
be
converted
from
a
church
to
six
residential
condominium
dwelling
units
and
to
create
two
parking
spaces
to
the
right
side
of
the
building.
As
we
worked
with
both
project
Pride,
as
well
as
the
Magnolia
Howard
Ave
and
Magnolia
Street
civic
association,
there
were
two
points
that
I
want
to
highlight
that
they
asked
of
us.
Q
One
was
to
keep
the
existing
structure
as
is
and
work
with
inside
the
building,
and
then
two
was
to
create
some
form
of
marketing.
Originally,
we
did
not
have
parking
created
that,
as
we
went
through
Community
process,
the
lot
size
is
5243
square
feet
could
go
to
the
next
slides
on
this
particular
zoning
district
is
a
three
family,
four
thousand
bomb,
and
just
to
go
over
the
layouts
of
the
structure,
we
would
be
utilizing
the
basement
with
just
10
foot
sailing
bikes.
They
would
have
Bob.
Q
Those
would
hose
the
bottom
level
for
units
one
to
four
with
living
area
kitchen
and
one
bathroom,
no
bedrooms
in
the
basement,
as
we
go
up
to
the
first
level
that
would
house
the
lobby
mail
room
in
units
one
through
four
and
balance
and
then,
as
we
go
up
to
the
second
floor,
that
would
house
units
five
through
six
units.
One
through
four
are
bi-level
units
and
units.
Five
and
six
are
both
single
level
units.
Q
On
the
second
floor,
gross
square
footage
is
eight
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
four
square
feet
of
the
existing
structure
just
to
quickly
go
over
the
violations
one.
This
is
a
3F
district
and
we're
converting
to
six
within
the
charge.
So
we
do
have
a
use,
variance
additional
lot
size
open
space,
1200
square
feet
is
what
we
are
providing
I,
don't
know
if
we
can
go
into
some
of
the
slides,
but
you
can
see
there
is
a
grass
area.
Q
If
you
go
a
little
bit
further
to
the
next
slides,
there
is
still
some
open
space
that
we're
able
to
preserve.
That's
including
aerial
view.
We
also
in
terms
of
parking
because
we're
keeping
the
building.
We
could
not
create
any
additional
pocket
besides
the
two
units,
but
we
did
try
to
accommodate
the
group
and
the
abutters.
It
was
a
lot
of
concern
about
not
having
a
church
go
back
because
of
traffic
concerns,
parking
that
happens
on
the
weekend.
So
folks
did
ask
us
to
make
sure
we
kept
this.
Q
This
residential
I
can
pause
and
answer
any
questions
before.
A
Q
We'd
be
creating
the
third
cut
that
left
on
the
front
of
the
building,
and
so
it.
AJ
AP
Q
AF
Q
Next,
that
goes
yeah.
That's
the
the
site
plan,
so
there's
there's
two
trees,
there's
actually
it's
sort
of
sprouts
one
side
is
on
the
parcel
of
Exodus.
We
would
not
touch
we're
going
to
try
to
keep
that
remaining
trunk
as
best
as
we
can.
If,
for
some
reason
we
think
we
can,
we
agreed
that
we
would
plant
another
Tree
in
its
place.
D
Q
BD
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Keisha
Santana
with
the
mayor's
office,
the
neighborhood
services
and
a
Butter's
meeting
was
held
on
August,
9th
and
October
11th.
A
monitors
expressed
concern
for
parking
I'm
in
lack
of
parking
in
the
area.
There
are
concerns
with
congestion
in
the
second
offutters
meeting
more
parking
was
presented
and
there
was
not
as
heavy
of
attendance
in
our
first
meeting,
they
met
with
local
Civics,
where
similar
concerns
were
expressed.
BD
Members
of
the
Blue
Hill
Ave
Quincy
Street
on
Howard
Ave
and
Magnolia
Street
neighborhood
association
and
project
right,
wrote
a
letter
of
support
under
the
condition
that
the
applicant
meets
with
them
regularly
during
the
construction
phase
to
address
issues.
At
this
time
we
would
like
to
defer
adjustment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank.
BH
My
name
is
Michael
kozu
project
right
320,
the
letter,
a
blue
Avenue.
This
is
in
a
very
tough
location,
but
I
think
people
residents
recognize
that
there
is
a
question
of
restoring
a
building.
That's
in
disrepair,
so
I
may
feel
that
this
is
probably
the
best
solution
to
what
can
actually
be
done.
We
look
forward
to
continuing
meetings
with
the
applicant
and
the
two
of
three
parking
units
was
important
for
for
the
Neighbors,
given
the
lack
of
parking
and
the
congestion
of
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you
thank.
AA
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chairman.
We
recommended
approval
with
design
review
on
this
one.
Other
thing
that
came
up
during
the
hearing
was
the
actual
parking
spaces.
If
we
could
have
BTT
to
look
at
that
and
see
whether
or
not
maybe
a
tandem
space
would
be
better
to
help
take
a
treat
while
we're
in
support
of
this,
with
the
design
review
for
any
exterior
changes.
Thank.
AA
Mind
if
Bob
takes
a
look
at
it,
I
know.
Miss
panado
had
some
concerns
about
the
tree
and
I.
Don't
know
Jeff
whether
or
not
you
know
chanting
speaks
he
made
more
sense
than
side
by
side.
Great.
Thank
you.
Oh
sorry,.
Q
Go
ahead,
Mr,
Dragon,
so
I
I
think
it
would.
F
Q
I
just
I'm
very
concerned:
I
don't
want
to
go
against
anything.
We
agreed
upon
with
the
happy
to
meet
with
Bob
Demico,
but
I
just
did
the
civic.
AY
A
Thank
you
was
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
F
A
BI
I
AL
Yes,
I
have
a
question
on
the
was
those
two
separate
provisos
that
was
recommended.
F
Yeah
providers
for
BTD
BT
da
design,
review
and
and
also
for
BTD
to
look
at
the
parking
sounds
good.
A
J
A
K
K
K
My
name
is
kahi
Lam
I'm,
the
daughter
of
10
Carson
Street
house
owner,
and
this
is
a
single
house
and
it
is
owner
occupied.
So
we
did
some
changes
on
the
meal
plan
compared
to
the
old
ones,
and
we
discussed
last
time
about
front
yard.
Talking
is
not
allowable
and
hence
we
moved
the
one
parking
space
to
be
next
to
the
house
triangle.
Shade
long.
K
On
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
front
yard
will
still
keep
there
and
the
paint
material
was
still
will
still
be
paper
Stones
so
that
water
flows
Direction
usually
can
be
installed.
And
when
you
see
the
house
on
the
Google
Map
the
fronts
there
was
cut
a
little
bit
during
the
ventilation
on
June
20
21st,
so
spaces
should
be
enough
for
a
car
to
get
in
and
also
the
trash
trash
storage
can
be
moved
away
too,
but
we
measure
the
length
and
also
the
space,
and
it
is
enough.
A
E
AA
Mr
questions
honestly,
there's
not
a
lot
there
and
I
know
with
distance
of
Eco
saying
to
reduce
it
to
one.
We
recommend
the
denial,
because
if
they
have
a
10
foot
curve
cutting
experience,
if
you
only
have
one
space-
and
it's
literally
going
to
be
in
the
front
yard
and
this
semi-attached
to
welding-
it's
a
crazy
lot
to
begin
with,
and
but
it's
very
very
difficult
to
fit
cars
area.
E
Yeah,
even
from
looking
you
know
on
the
zoning
map
Etc
in
the
live
view,
I
need
you
need
to
at
least
see
a
dimension
between
the
house
and
the
Butter's
lot,
because
I
don't
think
that
there's
not
enough
room
there
to
get
a
car.

Good
morning
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Ross
Cochran
I'm,
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
The
applicant
has
completed
their
Community
process.
Our
office
held
in
a
Butters
meeting
in
January
of

Mr
secretary
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adams
and
moranti
business
address
of
168
8th
Street
first
floor
South
Boston
with
me
today
is
James
Christopher
from
686
architects.
BJ
This
proposal
is
here
it
seeks
to
raise
the
existing
instructor
and
erect
a
new
five
residential
unit
building
with
five
parking
spaces
that
great
on
approximately
about
a
four
thousand
three
hundred
fifty
six
square
foot
lot
revised
plans
which
are
in
front
of
you
today
have
been
reviewed
by
a
plans
examiner
and
have
been
signed
and
stamped.
Today.
This
proposal
is
located
within
a
one
half
three
thousand
sub-district.
However,
the
density
of
this
building
is
in
line
with
the
other.
Recently
neighboring
approved
projects
from
across
the
street
to
the
abutting
building
on
the
right.
BJ
Further,
this
location
is
directly
across
the
street
from
the
Seven
Hill
train
station.
The
first
floor
of
this
building
will
consist
of
unit
one
a
one
bedroom
approximately
663
square
feet.
The
second
floor
would
consist
of
unit
two
in
unit
3.
Both
units
will
contain
two
bedrooms
unit,
two
being
approximately
879
square
feet
and
unit
3
949
square
feet.
The
third
floor
will
consist
of
unit
4
and
unit
5..
Both
units
will
contain
three
bedrooms
with
the
master
bedrooms
for
both
units
being
located
on
a
recessed
fourth
floor
unit.
BJ
BJ
The
building
height
is
excessive,
proposing
three
and
a
half
stories
at
42.9
feet
to
the
ridge
which
is
in
line
with
the
neighboring
structure
to
the
right,
and
that
can
also
be
seen
on
page
11
of
the
plants,
front
yard
setback,
we're
seeking
zero
feet
to
the
Bay
three
feet.
BJ
To
the
dwelling
side,
yard
setback
is
5.5
feet
on
the
left
and
11.5
feet
on
the
right,
compliant
both
the
front
yard
and
the
side
yard,
where
pre-existing
non-conformities
of
the
original
structure,
rear
yard
sat
back,
you'll
notice
that
we're
we're
seeking
15.5
feet
on
the
left
and
16.4
feet
on
the
on
the
right
and
again
this
radiative
Lots,
the
train
tracks
and
the
property
parking
will
be
three
full-size
spaces
at
eight
eight
foot,
six
inches
by
20
and
two
compact
spaces
at
seven
foot,
six
inches
by
18
at
grade
open
and
parking
accessed
by
an
existing
curb
cut
at
this
point,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
board
for
any
questions.
D
A
comment
that
share
yes,
sir
from
Bob,
D'amico,
that
the
proposed
driveway
is
much
too
narrow
for
safe
access
and
egress
and
at
the
same
time
we
do
have
letters
of
support
and
opposition.
Thank.
C
BJ
Actually,
based
upon
an
administrative
deferral,
so
actually
the
first
time
that
we're
presenting
the
plans
to
the
board,
the
original
file
plans
were
first
six
units
in
going
through
the
community
process
and
listening
to
the
neighbors
We've
reduced
the
dimensions
of
the
building,
as
well
as
the
unit
count.
BJ
You'll
you'll
see
that
that
we
have
many
letters
of
support
on
file
on
record.
You
know
from
the
surrounding
of
Butters
as
well.
AL
Good
morning
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Ross
Cochran,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
This
applicant
has
completed
their
Community
process.
Our
office
held
in
a
Butters
meeting
in
June
of
2022,
where
expressed
concern
about
density.
The
local
civic
association
also
poses
the
project
and
has
a
letter
of
opposite
file
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment.
Thank
you.
U
AV
Hi,
my
name
is
Elizabeth
Doyle
and
I'm,
the
president
of
the
Columbia
7
Hill,
civic
association
and
I'm
here
to
express
the
opposition
to
the
project
on
behalf
of
the
civic
association,
the
proponent
came
to
both
our
planning
committee
meeting
and
our
general
meeting
in
the
end
of
2022..
The
planning
committee
after
reviewing
the
project
and
discussing
the
project,
oppose
the
oppose
the
project
with
a
vote
of
12
to
1,
and
the
general
meeting
opposed
the
project
with
a
with
a
vote
of
18
to
two.
AV
So
the
reason
why
we're
opposed
to
this
project
is
it's
tearing
down
a
tear
down
which
isn't
the
greatest
thing.
We
also
oppose
the
excessive
size,
I
think
the
height
the
number
of
units
and,
frankly,
the
design.
Yes,
there
is
a
large
building
to
the
right,
which
is
on
salmon
Hill
Avenue,
it's
commercial
on
the
first
floor,
and
then
there
are
some
residential
above
it.
AV
We
are
deeply
concerned
that
this
project
will
really
disrupt
the
character
and
the
for
the
Aesthetics.
This
is,
if
anybody
knows
Cindy
Street,
it's
really
a
quintessential
Dorchester
Street
with
two
and
three
families,
and
this
project
will
absolutely
have
an
impact
on
that
on
that
street
and
that
neighborhood.
We
also
want
to
make
the
point
that
we
wanted
to
work
with
the
developer,
the
proponent,
to
reduce
the
number
of
units,
the
height,
which
is
about
45
feet.
Right
now,
and
unfortunately,
we
didn't
have
any
success
with
the
developer.
AF
AV
Guess
hold
on
I
guess
I
would
ask
that
whatever
the
board's
decision,
which
we
respect,
will
help
us
to
work
with
the
developer,
to
get
a
project
that
will
be
approved
and,
and
you
know,
and
liked
by
the
the
neighborhood
association
and
the
neighbors
around
it.
So
that's,
that's
all
I
have
to
say
thank.
BJ
You
Ms
Doyle
Madam,
chair
may
I
just
respond.
Can.
BI
Ryan
win
141
Savon,
Hill
Ave
I
stand
in
support
of
9
Sydney
Street.
Thank
you.
BJ
Mr
Spitz,
yes,
I'll,
make
it
brief
this.
How
this
this
property
here
is
the
first
house
in
off
of
right
right
off
of
Seven
Hill
Ave
in
close
proximity
to
approved
cases
that
have
the
same
pretty
much
height
in
line
across
the
street
as
well
as
that
Seven
Hill
Ave.
That
was
mentioned
so
again,
Mike
wasn't
45
feet.
The
height
was
was
reduced
as
well
as
the
unit
count.
BJ
When
we
first
presented
to
the
Civic
group,
we
did
present
a
six
unit
structure,
but
based
upon
the
feedback
in
the
conversations
with
the
immediate
director
butterson.
As
we
have
those
records
on
support,
we
reduce
the
the
unit
count
down
to
five
in
the
dimensional
requirements
as
well.
AV
BJ
Was
42.9
feet
and
I
was
wondering
is,
does
the
bpda
have
a
recommendation
on
this
proposal.
BJ
James
Christopher
was
with
me
I
I,
don't
recall
the
the
previous
height,
but
we
are
at
42.9
feet
in
the
height
at
three
and
a
half
well
three

a
half
stories
because
of
the
fourth
floors.
Recessed

They
came

We
recommended
approval

do
on
this
project,
even
when
it
was
at
six.

And
I
am
also
here,
Chris

as
well
as
our
architect
Sarah
we're
going
to
talk
about
our
roof
deck
project.
First
of
all,
welcome
to
the
board.
Congratulations
on
your
new
roles,
chairwoman,
other
attendees!
As
you
can
see,
we
have
our
plans
up
on
the
screen.
This
would
be
a
private
roof
deck
for
myself
and
Unit
A
and
Dan
in
unit
7..
BM
A
A
BK
BM
We
have
considered
if
that
would
make
this
a
more
amenable
project.
We're
certainly
happy
to
adjust
the
the
plans
from
what
we
have
seen
in
other
developments
in
the
area
that
there
are
head
houses,
primarily
just
for
safety
reasons,
it's
an
easier,
egress
Point.
So
that
would
be
my
response
to
to
that
statement.
Madam.
BM
So
go
ahead,
I'll
just
go
ahead.
No
I
was
just
going
to
say
that
there
was
a
question
about
the
Eric
about
the
head
house
versus
hatch.
So
if
you
wanted
to
comment
on
that,
that
would
be
great.
T
We
discussed
initially
and
the
the
intention
was
to
bring
the
common
stare
up
and
com
and,
in
that
way,
comply
with
the
building
code
instead
of
having
to
get
a
building
code,
variance
to
have
that
fourth
level
above
the
fourth
floor,
accessed
via
hatch,
and
also
to
provide
kind
of
access
to
both
units.
Without
with
minimizing
the
penetrations
through
the
roof.
BN
AU
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Conor
Newman,
with
an
airsoft's
Neighborhood
Services.
This
time
the
mayor's
office
referred
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board,
some
background
information,
the
community
process,
our
office
hosting
a
Butters
meeting
on
October
18th.
It
was
sparsely
attended.
The
applicant
went
on
to
the
West
Broadway
neighborhood
association,
which
indicated
that
they
were
in
support
of
this
proposal
with
that
we
deferred
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank.
BL
You
and
really
quick
Connor.
If
you
don't
mind,
we
sent
an
email,
Anna
white,
how
to
ask
us
to
send
an
email
to
both
West
Broadway
and
the
Saint
Vincent
lower
end
neighborhood
association.
So
we
did
go
through
two
neighborhood
associations
and
we
had
no
opposition
from
those
two
neighborhood
of
those
two
neighborhood
associations
back
again.

From
Council
president
fling's
office,
the

would
like
to
go
and
record
in
a
position
due
to
the
quality
of
life
issues
rooftex
have
presented
for
years
in
South
Boston
that
were
exacerbated
by
the
pandemic
for
years.
Neighboring
Civic
groups
in
South
Boston
are
seniors.
Persons
with

have
all
complained
about

I'd
like
to
comment
on
that
on
that
statement,
previously
myself

my

are
working
professionals
that
have
ties
to
the
community.
We

we're
we're
in
our
40s.
This
I
think
we're
long
past
that
phase
in
our
life,
we're
really
looking
to
just
improve
our
units
and
have
some
open
airspace
in
in
line
with
what
other
developments
in
the
area
are
doing.
These
are
the
other
developments
that
have
gone
up
are
multi-unit
buildings
that
all
have
access
to
their
roof
decks.
We
are
two
individuals
that
are
looking
to
improve
with
a
private
roof
deck.

you
appreciate
that
appreciate.

Yes,

you,

We
recommended
approval

that
access
be
by

Yes,
Mr

good
afternoon,
Madam

of

My

George

I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
business

in

Stuart

the
owner
of

at
the
corner
of

It
is
a
3146
square
foot
parcel
with
an
existing
two
family
dwelling.
A
client
has
applied
to
demolish
the
existing
building
and
erect
the
new
four-unit
townhouse
style.
Building.
AR
This
matter
received
an
administrative
deferral
due
to
I
believe
a
five-member
board
and
in
the
interim,
in
response
to
the
recommendation
of
the
bbda,
my
client
directed
his
architect
to
make
some
changes
to
the
plans.
These
are
the
updated
plans
which
are
being
shown
today.
Today's
hearing,
my
client
architect
reduced
the
curb
cut
width
to
16
feet
in
total
or
eight
feet
per
townhouse
building,
as
these
are
proposed,
townhouse
units
There's,
no
practical
way
to
create
a
single
curb
cut
for
unified
access
to
what
are
two
independent
garages.
AR
I
would
point
out
that
on
the
Rogers
Street
side,
those
Bays
project
above
the
property
line
within
the
property
line,
and
not
above
the
current
public
sidewalk,
my
client
has
also
set
the
building
back
from
the
front
lot
line
by
over
two
feet:
to
allow
for
either
sidewalk
widening
or
a
front
yard
landscaping.
The
bpda
recommendation
expresses
that
far
here
should
be
reduced.
The
zoning
subject
here
is
L
0.5,
which
is
a
local
business.
Zoning
sub
District
under
the
1964
base
code
with
the
maximum,
far
0.5.
AR
AR
With
respect
to
the
plans,
the
first
floor
of
each
unit
would
consist
of
a
garage,
a
main
entry
for
each
unit,
as
well
as
trash
storage
and
utility
rooms.
The
second
floor
of
each
unit
would
consist
of
a
living
room
and
kitchen
with
a
10
foot
by
3.4
foot
porch
in
the
rear
and
shoot
it
would
have
two
bedrooms
and
baths
on
the
third
floor.
AR
It
would
be
a
mezzanine
level
above
approximately
19
feet
by
16
feet,
which
would
not
be
visible
from
Rogers
Street,
as
would
be
sent
back
approximately
16
feet
from
the
front
of
the
building.
Besides
far,
relief
is
being
sought
for
violations
owing
to
insufficient
lot
area,
open
space,
front
and
rear
setbacks
and
Building
height,
the
height
density
and
massing
of
the
composed
building
are
quite
consistent
with
other
dual
projects
in
the
area
and
the
modal
front.
Setback
on
the
Block
is
actually
zero.
This
front
setback
actually
exceeds
that
by
two
feet.
AR
Of
course,
there's
also
a
site
of
violation
of
traffic
visibility
across
the
corner.
At
the
intersection
of
Rogers
Street
in
Devine
way,
Rogers
Street
is
one
way
coming
down
to
Divine
Way.
The
building
is
set
back
at
the
corner
by
just
over
two
feet,
on
the
Roger
Street
side
and
by
just
over
two
and
a
half
feet
on
the
Divine
Wayside,
which
is
fairly
typical
for
South
Boston
generally,
and
for
this
neighborhood
in
particular,
with
that
Madam
Cheryl
doesn't
take
any
questions
that
members
may
have.
A
Thank
you
so
much
appreciate
that
Mr
Collins
any
questions
on
the
plans.
E
I,
don't
think
so
are
you?
Are
you
maintaining
the
the
rear
setback
of
the
existing
building,
so
the
one
that
you're
planning
on
tearing
down.
AR
I
believe
the
I'm
sorry
I
believe
that
that
this
setback,
Maybe
I,
don't
know
I
have
to
take
a
quick
look
at
it.

Thank
you
and
Mr

know
what
your
recommendation
was.
Can
you
kind

Currently
there

no

A
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members.
The
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago,
with
Drago
and
Toscano,
with
the
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
and
owner
Salvatore
lapoli
and
I
also
have
Ed
Gaffney
with
Patrick
and
Ahern
who's,
the
Architects
on
the
proposal.
This
is
a
very
straightforward
proposal.
What
you're
looking
at
prominent
building
within
the
North
End
right
at
the
corner
of
both
North
and
cross
streets?
Q
It's
128-134,
North
Street,
and
what
we're
proposing
today
is
to
you
know,
change
the
occupancy
to
a
single
family
dwelling
and
to
renovate
the
interior
of
the
building.
This
would
be
Mr,
lopolis,
private
residence
for
him
and
his
family,
and
this
would
also
include,
along
with
the
renovations
to
the
inside
of
the
going
to
parking
spaces
on
access
on
the
side
of
the
building
just
to
go
over
this
zoning
District.
Q
This
is
the
central
artery
special
parcel
zoning
District,
a
lot
sizes,
3102
square
feet
and
everything
that
we're
proposing
is
going
to
work
within
the
existing
Contours
of
the
building.
So
nothing
would
change
we're
not
adding
up
or
out
of
the
sides
or
changing
any
of
the
setbacks
or
height
of
the
building.
Q
If
we
can
get
into
the
floor
plans,
the
basement
level
would
house
a
gymnasium
living
area
and
two
bathrooms
the
first
floor
with
hoses
I
had
mentioned,
the
garage
are
accessed
through
the
front
on
an
existing,
curb
cut
and
then
entered
on
the
side,
as
you
can
see
here
in
this
cycling
the
what
also
house,
the
main
entry
of
the
building
sitting
area,
one
office,
one
bath
and
a
mezzanine
level
family,
one,
the
second
floor
of
the
existing
building
when
I
was
living,
room,
kitchen,
pantry,
dining
room,
another
office
and
one
bathroom,
and
then
the
third
floor
would
house
the
bedrooms
three
bedrooms,
three
bath
with
an
office
in
the
laundry
area,
the
roof
deck,
is
existing
on
the
building
up
by
the
pergola.
Q
On
the
top
floor,
we
would
just
be
renovating
that
we
would
not
be
adding
additional
square
footage
to
that.
Just
to
point
out.
The
zoning
violations
are
minimal.
This
particular
District
actually
allows
for
multi-family,
residential
or
multi-unit
Miss.
Lepoli
is
choosing
to
keep
this
for
his
own
personal
residence.
So
in
fact
one
one
family
is
actually
a
conditional
use,
multi-family
is
allowed
and
then
the
other
violation
is
just
on
the
ground
level.
Q
It
only
would
be
limited
to
Lobby
space
for
some
kind
of
a
commercial
use
and
because
this
is
residential
only
we
were
cited
for
that
as
well
again,
we
worked
extensively
with
our
neighbor,
the
North
Bennett
School,
to
come
up
with
a
very
detailed
construction
management
plan
which
our
team
and
their
team
put
together
as
we
went
through
this
proposal,
which
addresses
everything
from
trash
to
noise
level
to
rodent
control,
even
though
this
project
is
all
going
to
be
worked
on
within
the
interior
of
the
building,
this
building
had
sat
for
a
number
of
years
idle,
neglected
and
the
inside
it
was
used
as
office
space,
massdot,
Greenway
and
I.
BH
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Drago,
so
just
a
quick
question
so
you'd
be
adding
a
curb
cut
to
the
side
of
the
building.
Q
AX
Q
C
Is
this
property
or
well
this
property
part
of
the
DOT
building?
Is
that
a
new
acquisition
from
the
dot?
What
is
the
deal
with
the
property.
Q
So
this
was
formally
owned
by
the
mass
D.O.T
over
years
that
was
leased
out
to
different
state
city
entities
to
rent
the
inside.
An
RFP
process
went
out.
My
client
purchased
the
building,
but
let
the
existing
Greenway
tenants
stay
in
there
for
for
a
number
of
months,
while
they
could
find
another
location,
but
he
does
the
property.
C
Q
That
would
remain
to
the
D.O.T
and
the
public.
The
deal
Mr
lapoli
would
have
Eastman
access
rights
to
enter
the
garage,
obviously
the
front
of
his
building,
but
he,
but
that
would
remain
right
now
by
mastiotin.
C
So
there
is
public
access
to
getting
this
place
correct.
Okay,
thank
you.
BP
Good
afternoon

the
board,
councilor

you.

I
did

worked
well
with

about
our
the
North

Bennett
School,
where
they
were
able
to
come
to
an
agreement
for
a
construction
mitigation
agreement
in
regarding
that
they
did
receive
non-opposition
letters
from
the
two
North
End
Civic
groups,
from
new
rot

Munich,
and
I've
also
received

sent
directly
to

just
voicing
their
support.

okay,
let's,
let's
I
I,
know
we
can't
tell
who's
in
support
or
opposition,
but
it
would
be.
If
there
is
anyone
in
opposition.
It
would
be
just
good
to
hear
what
they
have
to
say
as
well.

I'm.
In
favor
of
this
proposal,
I
had
dealing
with
Mr
lapoli
when
I
worked
up
at
Lawrence
in
his
philanthropic
initiatives,
go
well
beyond
what
people
would
expect,
and
he
he
would
be
a
welcome
neighbor
to
the
North

Thank
you.
Thank.
U
BN
Yeah,
my
name
is
Sarah
Turner
I'm,
the
president
of
the
North
Bennett
Street
school
and
as
such,
we're
direct
to
butter
at
150,
North,
Street,
North,
Main,
Street
School
does
not
oppose
the
project,
but
I
do
think.
It's
just
important
that
I
go
on
the
record,
because
the
Cool
School
serves
not
only
as
a
director
butter
but
sort
of
a
community
advocate.
BN
Of
course,
we
had
hoped
that
128
North,
the
former
Transportation
tunnel
administration
building,
would
remain
a
public
building,
but
we
recognized
that
when
the
building
was
sold
to
a
private
party,
it
gave
the
owner
the
right
to
renovate
their
building
for
private
use
focused
instead
on
making
a
good
faith
and
Cooperative
effort
with
the
lapoli
company
to
reach
the
mitigation
agreement.
BN
That's
been
mentioned,
and
we
did
reach
that
over
the
course
of
a
series
of
conversations
in
the
fall
and
that
was
really
to
protect
and
to
limit
the
impact
of
our
students
are
teaching
and
our
operations.
So,
given
that
we've
reached
a
construction
migration
agreement
successfully,
the
school
does
not
oppose
the
requested
zoning
relief.

going
to
be
originally.

Thank
you
very
much.
Good

Mr

X
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
good
afternoon,
I
should
say
Richard
Linz,
with
the
business
address
for
245
Sumner
Street
on
East
Boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
delphihor
development
Madam
chair.
This
is
a
relatively
straightforward
proposal
as
well.
This
is
a
pre-existing
non-conforming
three
unit
dwelling.
Our
proposal
would
change
the
occupancy
from
three
units
to
four
units,
and
we
would
accomplish
that
by
converting
the
lower
level
space
of
the
existing
building
to
a
res,
a
one-bedroom
residential
unit,
approximately
800
square
feet.
X
If
we
can
jump
to
slide
three
and
four
I'll
start
with
three
so
yeah
we
do
see,
the
existing
building
here
was
actually
renovated.
As
of
right,
the
entire
building
itself
has
already
been
pretty
much
rehabbed
and
the
process
to
convert
this
to
a
four
unit
would
be
done
separately
on
an
alteration
permit.
We
don't
propose
to
change
anything
with
respect
to
the
footprint
of
this
building.
All
of
the
work
would
be
proposed
to
be
interior.
X
Only
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
think
we
can
see
sort
of
how
this
back
of
this
building
relates.
So,
as
we
saw
on
the
front
of
the
building,
we
have
a
full
three
levels
above
the
sidewalk,
but
the
slope
from
Chelsea
Street
to
the
rear
actually
does
allow
for
a
full,
walkout,
lower
level
basement.
That's
what
we're
proposing
to
create
additional
space
if
we
can
jump
to
the
next
slide,
I
believe
we
also
have
one
more
slide,
please.
X
So
our
existing
site
plan
showing
the
building
itself,
as
I
mentioned,
we
aren't,
we
aren't
proposing
to
change
anything
an
instructor
of
footprint,
so
there
are
no
additions
proposed
to
the
rear
and
any
of
the
existing
non-conformities
that
presently
exist
in
the
site
are
not
changed,
except
for
what
is
in
the
interior.
We
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
so
our
program
for
our
lower
level
basement
renovation
is
on
the
right
hand,
side.
We
don't
propose
to
make
really
any
changes
to
the
second
and
third
level.
X
Those
are
the
existing
three
bedroom
units
that
are
already
existing
on
the
site.
There
is
some
small
changes
that
we
made
with
respect
to
the
first
level
to
allow
for
Access
into
the
lower
level
as
well.
I
do
have
Eric
zackerson
as
the
project
architect
here
who
can
answer
any
specific
questions
on
the
design
with
respect
to
the
zoning
I
can
just
run
through
the
relief
that
is
being
requested.
This
property
is
located
at
three
f-2000
District.
It
does
allow
for
three
families
as
a
matter
of
Rights.
The
current
use
is
conforming.
X
However,
the
change
to
four
would
create
a
multi-family
residential
use
and
therefore
that,
because
that
is
forbidden
under
article
53,
we
are
requesting
a
variance
for
that.
I
would
point
out
this
neighborhood
is
a
pretty
dense
and
does
have
a
lot
of
multi-family
uses
in
and
around
Chelsea
Street
Chelsea
Street
is
a
main
thoroughfare
through
response
Austin,
including
and
I,
do
like
to
make
references,
because
we've
been
involved
with
the
planning
sponsor
project
for
some
time,
multi-family
residential
music
use
that
is
being
contemplated
with
the
new
zoning
change
for
this
neighborhood.
X
X
But
I
would
assure
the
board
this
project
is
not
in
a
flood
zone
and
therefore
any
modification
at
lower
level
would
be
permitted
under
our
code
and
certainly
again,
I
recognize
the
vpda's
position
when
it
comes
to
Coastal
flood
resiliency
with
respect
to
the
other
items
for
which
require
variance
because
this
space,
although
is
existing,
we
would
be
changing
it
to
habitable
space.
We
do
increase
the
far.
The
current
far
is
1.27,
which
is
already
a
non-conforming
condition.
X
The
increase
will
bring
us
up
to
1.95,
so
we
do
require
a
variance
for
that
additional
far,
because
the
current
makeup
of
the
property,
with
respect
to
usable,
open
space,
is
non-conforming
the
addition
of
a
dwelling
unit,
although
there
is
no
change
in
the
foot
part
of
the
building,
does
create
additional
need
for
a
usable,
open
space.
We
don't
we're
not
proposing
any
roof
decks.
I
know,
roof
decks
tend
to
be
somewhat
controversial
in
this
particular
section
of
East
Boston.
X
We
don't
propose
to
add
that
we
do
propose,
however,
to
have
rear
decks
for
each
of
the
units
and
then
some
outdoor
space
for
those
lower
level
units
as
well.
So
we
do
feel
that
the
open
space
issues
can
be
addressed
with
respect
to
parking,
because
this
is
a
pre-existing
use
at
three
units
with
no
parking
currently
on
the
site.
The
zoning
code
requires
that
we
only
add
one
parking
space
for
the
additional
unit
that
we're
proposing,
because
that
would
be
probably
impossible
with
respect
to
the
way
the
building
sits
on
the
site.
X
Now
we
are
requesting
a
variance
for
the
parking,
and
we
also
think
that's
for
good
purpose
as
well,
because
we're
very
cognizant
of
btt's
position
with
respect
to
introducing
curb
cuts
for
private
parking
spaces
when
we're
not
proposing
any
more
than
two
spaces.
That
would
mean
so
in
this
case,
we
think
a
variance
would
be
appropriate
rather
than
taking
away
on-street
parking.
A
Okay,
can
you
address
the
PPD
mentions
Coastal
flood
resiliency
overlay,
District
issue.
X
X
You
know
East
Boston
with
doing
a
lot
of
work
at
East,
Boston,
very
familiar
with
the
orally
District
requirements,
certainly
on
article
80
size
projects
where
we're
adding
you
know
at
least
20
000
square
feet
or
15
or
more
units
compliance
with
Coastal
flood
resiliency
design
guidelines
is
necessary.
It's
not
necessary
for
a
project
of
this
size
because
we're
simply
adding
one
unit
to
an
existing
three
unit
building.
X
So,
therefore,
while
we
can
attempt
to
achieve
some
of
that
in
design
review,
you
know
the
real
issue
is
whether
or
not
we're
in
a
flood
zone
which
we're
not-
and
you
know
whether
or
not
we'd
have
to
comply
with
flood
regulations
in
order
for
our
our
design
to
work,
and
we
take
the
position
that
that's
that's
not
the
case
here.
BS
That's
how
anybody
says
with
domain
what
services
bonus
hosting
a
Butters
meeting
for
this
project
on
July
6
2022.
Noah
Butters
were
in
attendance
on
Nepal,
the
applicant
Health
Center
Eagle
Hill,
civic
association
in
September
and
October
of
2022.
The
association
voted
to
a
post
with
nine
members
against
it
and
eight
in
support
some
concerns.
Over
parking
were
raised,
no
major
concerns
with
laws
of
basement
space,
because
all
units
are
small
rentals
and
they
also
stated
that
the
yard
has
enough
space
for
storage
of
trash
and
more
so.
F
AA
Thank
you,
madam
chair
drivers
of
the
board.
We
recommend
it
to
now
without
prejudice
the
reason
why
we
put
that
language
in
there
and
even
though
it's
not
required,
because
it's
not
an
articulating
project.
It
is
literally
across
the
street
from
the
flood
zone.
The
other
side
of
Chelsea
Street
is
in
a
flood
zone.
AA
So
we
added
that
language
just
to
as
a
recommendation,
not
so
much
as
a
requirement,
because,
as
attorney
Lance
has
mentioned,
it's
not
an
article
80
project,
but
we
like
to
add
that
language
just
to
have
people
as
a
recommendation
for
design
but
literally
across
the
street,
is
the
flood
zone.
Okay,.
B
Let's
make
a
motion
for
approval
with
bpda
design
review.
A
J
A
A
I
J
A
D
X
Yes,
good
afternoon
again,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Richard
Lynn's,
the
business
address
of
245
Sumner
Street,
East
Boston
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
I'm
Madam
chair,
we're
back
before
the
board.
We
did
take
an
administrative
deferral.
Last
year
we
requested
a
full
board
I
believe
there
was
only
a
504
present
as
the
slide
deck
is
loading
I'll
give
a
quick
overview.
This
is
a
proposal
to
demolish
an
existing
single-family
dwelling
on
Chelsea
Street,
very
close
to
day
Square
in
East
Boston.
Our
proposal
would
include
the
construction
of
a
new
four
unit.
X
Residential
dwelling
and
I
can
walk
through
that
once
the
plan
populates
on
the
screen,
the
bedroom
sizes
for
each
of
the
units,
these
would
all
be
very
generously
sized
two
bedroom
units
or
two
bedroom
plus
units
and
approximately
anywhere
from
1200
to
about
1300
square
feet.
The
lower
two
levels
would
be
flat
style
units
with
the
upper
two
levels
being
bi-level
sharing
of
dirt.
X
In
the
fork
level,
we
don't
propose
any
basement,
probably
good
opportunity
to
talk
about
flood
this
particular
site
as
a
portion
of
it
located
within
the
flood
zone,
and
therefore
we
are
building
this
with
respect
to
compliance.
As
it
relates
to
flood
flood
design
guidelines,
we
do
propose
roof
decks
as
well.
Those
will
be
private
for
the
upper
level
units
and
we're
also
looking
to
access
those
might
have
house
not
by
I
mean
by
not
by
head
house.
X
This
is
probably
a
good
place
to
start,
as
you
can
see
to
our
left
is
a
Prescott
Street,
which
is
the
boundary
between
this
section
of
the
neighborhood
and
day
Square
day
square
is
the
mixed-use
commercial
District
in
East
Boston,
as
you
can
see
for
from
what
shown
on
the
screen
here,
the
building
is
both
left
and
right
are
all
recently
built
or
developed
sites.
X
They're
building
to
our
immediate
left
has
already
been
approved
by
the
support
for
a
four-story
Arena
building
quite
similar,
if
not
almost
identical
to
the
project
that
we're
presenting
here
today.
If
we
jump
down
a
couple
of
slides,
actually
we're
rendering
that
shows
not
only
our
building
but
the
proposed
buildings
that
have
been
approved
in
the
area.
This
is
the
current
street
view
showing
the
our
building
the
existing
building
to
our
left
and
then
the
newly
built
building
at
331.
X
X
The
blue
building
is
is
being
shown
as
well
as
what
has
already
been
approved
and
designed
are
approved
for
designer
view,
with
BPD
eggs,
so
sort
of
rounding
out
the
remainder
of
this
block
with
very
similar
size,
buildings
all
being
four
unit
multi-family
uses,
and
each
of
those
I
believe
also
have
roof
decks
that
are
accessed
by
hatch
wow.
The
respects
of
the
relief
that's
necessary.
This
is
located
at
three
out
of
2000
districts,
similar
to
the
last
presentation.
X
I
just
made
to
the
same
zoning
regulations
do
apply
being
located
close
to
day
Square,
as
well
as
within
walking
distance
of
two
public
transit
nodes.
We
are,
you
know.
We
feel
that
this
project
fits
with
the
context
of
the
surrounding
area.
Pretty
well
as
well
as
with
the
newly
built
buildings
are
up
and
down
that
section
of
Chelsea
Street
with
respect
to
the
relief
that
would
be
necessary
again
because
it's
three
F2000,
we
require
a
variance
for
the
use.
That's
four
units
of
multi-family
use.
X
The
lot
size
is
1760
square
feet,
which
is
not
unlike
the
Lots
joining
it,
but
left
and
right.
The
minimum
lot
size
for
the
district
is
2
000
square
feet.
However,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
trying
to
respect
what
is
either
existing
in
the
area
currently
or
what
has
been
approved
already
for
our
setbacks
and
our
our
lock
coverage,
we
do
have
the
minimum
Lots
lot
width
and
what
Frontage
requirements.
X
However,
we
do
set
our
building
back
on
the
left
side,
just
under
a
half
foot,
which
is
the
current
condition
that
already
exists
and
I
one
thing.
One
of
the
things
I
will
point
out
to
the
board
is
the
building
that
currently
sits
on
our
site
actually
encroaches
into
our
neighbor's
property
that
we
would
be
removing
that
encroachment
with
the
Demolition
of
our
of
the
existing
building
and
correcting
that
condition
with
the
new
building
that's
being
proposed.
X
So,
although
our
left
side
yard
is
somewhat
shallow,
it
is
actually
an
improvement
of
the
current
condition
which,
which
is
an
encroachment
over
the
boundary.
We
do
include
a
little
bit
over
three
feet
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
our
property
that
does
allow
us
to
introduce
openings
and
windows
on
that
side
of
the
building,
as
well
as
allow
for
access
to
the
rear
of
the
property
we
are
going
to
align
our
building
with
the
modal
setback.
X
That's
existing
currently
on
the
section
of
Chelsea
Street,
so
certainly
with
all
of
the
new
construction
that's
occurred,
I
believe
the
setback
is
pretty
well
determined
and
established
for
that
part
of
Child
Support
as
well
require
variants
for
the
Florida
ratio.
The
1.0
that
is
allowed
in
the
district
would
be
exceeded
and
therefore
a
variety
request
that
allow
for
2.86
the
height
of
our
building
and
again
very
important
that
we
include
this
rendering,
while
it
would
be
consistent
with
the
buildings
both
left
right
and
in
that
section
of
Chelsea
Street.
X
We
are
about
eight
feet
above
the
35
foot
height
limit
that
is
permitted.
So
a
variance
will
be
necessary
for
that,
as
well.
With
respect
to
open
space,
we
do
include
roof
decks
and
some
balconies,
and
therefore
we
would
be
providing
available
open
space
for
the
property,
however,
would
be
below
the
300
square
feet
that
is
required
and
therefore
variance
would
be
required
as
well.
Our
rear
ad
setback
is
about
11
feet
we
do
require,
even
though
this
is
a
shallow
lot
condition.
We
still
would
require
about
20
foot
setback.
X
I
would
point
out
that
the
current
conditions
of
the
existing
house
and
the
Dex
and
Associated
structures
actually
go
all
the
way
back
to
the
rear
property
line.
So
during
demolition
we
would
actually
be
creating
an
opportunity
for
some
open
space
in
the
back
that
would
be
used
in
connection
with
creating
a
courtyard
or
a
little
bit
of
open
space
for
the
lower
levels
of
this
building.
Alaska
analysis
parking
with
respect
to
parking
for
this
site.
The
zoning
code
calculations
require
a
total
of
five
spaces,
as
I
indicated.
X
This
is
within
a
very
short
walking
distance
of
the
Bremen
Street
Park,
which
has
an
entrance
way
to
airport
T
Station.
We
also
are
within
a
short
walking
distance
to
Wood
Island
T
Station
as
well,
while
I
know
that
parking
always
tends
to
be
the
concerns
in
the
neighborhood.
We
feel
that
this
particular
location
presents
a
great
opportunity
for
some
dense
additional
dense
housing
that
is
located
in
very
close
proximity
to
public
transit
and
therefore
we
we
feel
this
is
this.
Will
work
contextually
with
the
surrounding
environment?
X
E
No,
the
only
question
I
really
have
is
right.
Now
the
building
is
over
the
other
lot
right
and
you're
gonna
you're
gonna
bring
it
back
to
what
a
17-inch
setback.
X
It
looks
like
it's
0.17
feet,
I
believe
Mr
zackerson
should
be
on
the
call
as
well
to
confirm
the
actual
Dimension
but
yeah
that
is
correct.
Mr
Collins,
we
are
over
the
boundary
with
an
encroachment,
I
believe
it's
about
a
half,
foot
or
I'm,
sorry
might
be
a
few
inches.
We
are
correcting.
That
is
correct.
Okay,
they.

Afternoon
Madam

members
of

board,
Natalia
Benitez,
with
the
mayor's
office
Google
services
on
us
hosted
in
the
Buddies
meeting
for
this
project
on
May
24
2022
for
our
Butters
joined
the
meeting
with
no
support
our
position
was
voiced.
We
did
receive
for
a
lottery
numbers
when
the
butter
stating
that
parking
is
a
major
issue
on
this
area.
BS
The
applicant
also
met
with
eagle
Hill
civic
association
as
well
as
Maverick
Central
neighborhood
association,
Eagle
voted
to
oppose
due
to
the
density
lack
of
parking
others
didn't
mention,
then
we
prefer
housing
and
proximity
to
public
transportation
was
a
plus
and
Maverick
Central
voted
to
support
the
project.
At
this
time
our
office
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
D
Madam
chair,
we
do
have
those
letters
from
Boston
to
work
through
a
commission
saying,
meets
the
requirements
set
forth
on
the
ground,
groundwater
of
Overland
District
requirement,
and
we
do
have
a
little
bit
of
opposition.
AA
AA
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
the
333
we
went
out
without
prejudice
and
the
reason
why
is
we
recommended
the
same
right
vote
on
331
and
what
we
had
asked
on
331
that
if
it
was
going
to
be
approved
that
it
would
look
like
a
Triple
Decker
and
it
looks
like
it
has
been
designed
that
way,
Shuffle
if
the
boy
feels
we're
staying
consistent
on
our
recommendations
down
this
street,
but
if
the
board
feels
that
they
are
going
to
improve
that,
we
ask
that
it
looks
perpetually
the
same
as
the
previous
approvals
along
with
children.
