From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearings 2/28/23 - Part 2 of 2
Description
Zoning regulates the use and dimensional boundaries of privately owned buildings and land. The Zoning code is in place to protect the neighborhoods from the construction of buildings or structures that do not fit into the context of a neighborhood. The Zoning Board of Appeal hears appeals for varying the application of the Zoning Code and determines when it is appropriate to grant deviations from code restrictions.

Let
me
double
technology
participants
really
quickly,
I'm.
Sorry,
let
me
check
on
the
participant
list
that
they
they
are
off.
Okay,
I.
B
G
And
since
we're
Beyond
one
o'clock
for
the
one
for
the
hearings
at
1pm,
I'll
ask
if
there
are
any
referrals
or
withdrawals
at
this
time.
H
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago
with
Drago
and
Toscano.
Excuse
me.
The
business
addressable
at
the
Beacon
Street
here
with
me
is
the
applicant
from
Odessa
Capital
Stan
klemner,
as
well
as
William
Reed
from
Monty
French
design,
who's,
the
architect
of
the
project.
What
you're
looking
at
on
this
particular
rendering
is
a
front
shot
of
582
Cambridge
Street.
This
is
the
proposed
project
that
we
are
seeking
with
Reef
from
this
project.
H
What
we're
proposing
is
we're
seeking
to
raise
the
existing
structure,
which
is
a
dated
three
unit
building
and
then
combined.
Two
lots
the
lot
that
the
three
units
sits
on
and
then
the
lot
that's
emptying
next
to
it
and
to
create
one
lot
at
13
893
square
feet.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
this
just
shows
you
those
two
lots
of
the
composition
of
the
two
lots:
trees
behind
us
on
the
boarding,
Street
and
then
sort
of
the
mix
of
housing.
H
Chicago
on
Cambridge
Cambridge
rig
we're
proposing
to
erect
the
four-story
residential
condominium,
building
with
19
residential
units
and
12
parking
spaces.
This
would
be
a
conda,
a
condo,
a
building
for
sale.
This
project
would
include
three
affordable
units
which
would
break
us
over
16
affordability
on
the
project.
This
particular
zoning
district
is
a
3F
4
000.
H
just
to
go
over
quickly
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
and
these
are
just
some
more
front
renderings.
As
you
can
see,
there
is
a
garage
entrance
along
that
will
be
created
along
Cambridge
Street.
There
is
an
existing
curb
cut
already
on
the
property
would
be
shifted,
so
we're
not
taking
anything
away
from
Street
Market.
There
was
a
bus
stop
directly
in
front
of
this
building.
We
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
making
it
convenient
for
commuters.
H
One
thing
we
did
add
is
worked
through
design
and
some
benching
outside
all
kinds
of
Granary
straight
trees,
which
are
missing
from
this
location.
Now
we
also
have
direct
access
to
a
bike
room,
so
we
have
23
bike
parking
spaces
with
a
bike
repair
station
that
enters
right
onto
Cambridge
street
from
the
ground
level.
We
also
have
12
parking
spaces
that
would
go
with
these
units
on
the
ground
level
as
well.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
just
to
give
you
a
quick
unit
breakdown.
H
We
have
seven
one
bedrooms,
one
one
and
a
half
bed
and
then
11
two
bedroom
units.
Our
four
units
are
contained,
two
two
beds
and
one
one
bedroom
unit
and
those
are
at
100
Ami
to
a
Ami,
as
you
can
see
here,
just
we
have
that
complete
straight
sidewalk
that
has
an
area
for
walking
for
pedestrian
access,
as
well
as
the
sitting
area
and
vegetation
right
right.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
let
me
the
building
was
designed
to
have
a
almost
a
30
foot,
rare
setback.
H
H
Whole
Energy
Efficiency
a
water
system
within
the
building
because
we
developed
this
project
as
we
work
with
the
ACA
and
the
baia
to
develop
full
Energy,
Efficiency
and
sustainability
features,
which
we
have
a
slide
at
the
very
end
that
we
explain
just
to
go
over
the
interior.
The
first
before
we
go
to
the
next
slide
slide,
will
house
the
Bike,
Room
and
Repair
Station,
an
interior
trash
area,
the
12
parking
spaces,
including
one
handicap
space
and
then
one
unit.
H
So
this
will
also
house
one
one
bedroom
unit,
which
would
have
direct
access
to
sort
of
invigorate
that
ground
floor
for
residential
use
along
Cambridge
Street.
Next.
This
should
show
you
the
back
area
sort
of
a
Promenade
for
the
residents,
and
then
we
just
get
into
the
floor
plans.
The
second
floor
has
six
units
third
floor.
Has
six
units
and
fourth
floor
has
six
units
the
roof
of
the
of
the
we'll?
Have
a
roof
deck
on
it
as
well
with
two
stairwells,
an
elevator
patch
I
have
a
brilliantly
on
here
as
well.
H
The
answer
any
questions
of
the
board
may
have
who
they're
the
next
slides,
please
just
to
go
over.
The
anticipated
zoning
violations
that
were
cited-
this
is
a
3M
District,
although
one
two
three
four
five:
six
seven
projects
right
within
walking
distance
that
are
multi-family
residential
between
20
to
30
and
40
minutes.
I
H
We
actually
scaled
down
this
project
and
working
with
the
community.
We
took
off
about
1500
square
feet,
we're
down
to
a
1.43.
Far
0.8
is
what's
allowed,
so
we
would
be
required
to
have
a
use.
Fairings
for
height
tried
to
really
reduce
the
height
everywhere.
We
could
we're
at
42
feet,
5
inches
and
all
of
our
that's
with
all
of
our
parking
Bike
Room
on
that
ground
level.
In
the
unit
usable
open
space,
we're
at
439
square
feet,
650
would
be
required
and.
H
Yard
we
would
meet
it
in
feet
to
plot
line,
but
because
it
goes
by
structure
in
this
area
as
well,
we're
7
feet
0.8
and
would
be
required
parking.
We
have
12
parking
spaces
and
38
spaces
would
be
required,
but
we're
also
right
along
that
bus
line
as
well
via
the
next
slide.
Please,
and
then
this
just
shows
you
sort
of
the
Contours
of
the
lot
we
could.
K
H
The
very
last
slide
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
This
just
shows
you,
the
interior
of
the
building
and
the
elevations
which
I
went
over
there's
an
extreme
slope.
As
you
know,
this
is
the
sustainability
slide.
So,
as
we
worked
with
the
community,
Energy
Efficiency
was
the
top
priority,
along
with
affordability,
which
this
slide
really
breaks
down
for
the
board
and
can
see
you
know
from
solar
panels
to
insulations
through
our
water
charge
system,
underneath
at.
N
H
One's
an
elevator
I'll,
let
William
if
you
could
attest
to
the
designer.
O
Absolutely
we've,
through
the
community
process,
tried
to
reduce
those
head
houses
as
much
as
possible
in
earlier
rendering
renderings
you
can
see.
The
left
smaller
head
house
has
a
sloped
roof
that
follows
the
pitch
of
the
stairs
to
keep
it
as
low
as
possible.
The
one
with
the
elevator
does
by
code
require
an
airlock
which
is
as
small
as
possible
as
Allowed
by
code.
We
have.
We
have
made
every
effort
we
possibly
could
to
reduce
them
as
much
as
we
can.
H
O
Minimally,
you,
if
you
go
to
some
of
the
earlier
renderings,
you
can
I
think
get
some
peaks
of
them,
but
they're
not
they're,
not
prominent.
They're
set
a
pretty
good
ways
back
from
Cambridge
Street,
so
they're
not
they're,
not
very
visible.
H
And
as
we
worked
with,
this
is
a
good
picture
of
it,
as
we've
worked
with
our
with
the
civic
association.
Since
the
audit
committee
process
having
this
green
roof
feature
was,
was
really
important
to
them
as
well.
So
we
tried
to
incorporate
those
comments
to
make
this
a
green
roof.
Solar
panels
Greenery
up
there
sustainability,
but
also
pull
it
back
as
much
as
we
could.
G
Forgive
me
we
do
have
letters
of
support
and,
and
often
and
one
of
our
position
also
thank.
R
Yes,
good
afternoon,
chairman
board
Frank
Mendoza
here
at
mayor's
office
and
Neighborhood
Services,
just
here
to
testify
about
the
app
and
did
go
through
Community
engagement
process
and
got
the
support
of
both
the
brightness
and
Improvement
Association
and
the
Austin
civic
association,
both
of
whose
leaders
I
imagine
are
here
to
testify
to
that
as
well
with
that
said,
we
defer,
as
always,
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
S
Thank
you,
I'm
Madam,
chair
I
have
six
race
fans.
Let's
start
with
go,
go
Horton,
okay,
Lena
you've
been
unmuted
because
they
didn't
even
not
just
for
the
record.
Please.
T
Hi,
my
name
is,
and
I'm
a
tenant
at
582
Cambridge,
Street
I'm
in
opposition
of
the
project,
because
I
think
it's
not
what
the
community
needs
at
this
time.
I
think
the
Austin
Community
really
needs
an
opportunity
to
continue
to
build
and
come
together
and
a
project
like
this
will
really
only
cause
destruction
at
a
time
that
is
really
vital
for
people
to
stay
in
contact
and
not
continue
to
be
isolated,
really
on
the
site
right
now.
T
T
That
could
be
mobilized
for
community
space
and
I
think
that
if
we
all
worked
together,
if
the
city
of
Boston
were
together
to
mobilize
that
community
space,
if
the
tenants
work
together
with
the
homeowners,
there
would
be
a
way
that
we
could
keep
the
building
for
affordable
housing
that
we
could
make
that
green
space
more
accessible
instead
of
causing
the
disruption
through
the
construction
that
would
affect
neighbors
and
local
businesses.
Thank
you.
Lena.
S
U
Good
afternoon
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
Tony
desidoro,
representing
the
Austin
civic
association,
who
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
There
was
initial
opposition
when
it
was
introduced
as
a
rental
project.
There
were
concerns
expressed
by
direct
Butters
as
well,
but
the
proponents
I
think
made
a
wise
decision
to
switch
to
Condominiums
without
minimize
opposition,
as
well
as
working
with
the
director
about
us
to
alleviate
any
concerns
that
they
may
have.
So
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
V
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Annabelle
Gomes,
with
Brighton
Austin
Improvement
Association
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
and
support
we
supported
and
support
once
they
changed
with
their
home
ownership.
We
think
more
homeownership
is
very
important
and
we
would
like
design
these
years
make
sure
that
the
greenery
outside
his
pet
and
a
little
bit
of
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
is
kept
with
the
building
the
new
building.
Thank
you.
V
S
W
Yes,
can
you
hear
me
yes
take
any
minute
just
for
the
record
for
it?
Yes,
my
name
is
Laura
Mayer
and
my
husband
and
I
own
number
39
Gordon
Street,
which
is
directly
to
the
east
of
the
property
at
582..
So
we
are
a
three
family
and
we
massively
benefit
by
the
beautiful
Green
Space,
that
is
behind
the
house,
including
a
massive
oak
tree,
that
is
over
100
years
old.
Sorry,
it's
a
maple.
W
It
provides
a
huge
amount
of
shade
and
there
are
a
number
of
mature
trees
that
are
along
the
west
side
of
the
extension
property.
That
is
in
question
at
this
point,
including
a
huge
number
of
mature
shrubs
and,
as
Lena
pointed
out,
a
beautiful
sloping,
Green
Space
in
this
very
quiet
part
of
Austin.
This
project
would
totally
change
the
character
of
personally,
just
where
my
husband
and
I
lived,
but
of
this
neighborhood
for
quite
a
period
of
time
are
much
too
much.
W
Many
too
many
people
in
one
building
are
in
a
neighborhood
where
it's
three
families,
it's
just
an
enormous
project,
and
especially
the
removal
of
I.
W
Island,
the
heat
island
that
is
going
to
be
next
door
to
our
property
and
significant
parking
issues,
and
then,
while
this
is
not
anybody's
concern
right
now,
the
demolition
of
that
building,
which
probably
contains
asbestos,
is
a
concern
of
ours
as
well.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
S
Y
S
AA
Represented
the
Carpenters
Union,
we
just
like
to
wait
for
the
comments
of
Miss
Annabella
Gomes
and
this
adorable.
This
is
a
good
project
and
we
are
full
support
program.
Thank
you.
AB
No
Madam
chair
I'm
still
here,
thank
you,
Jeff
Hampton
planning
and
awesome
Planning
Development
agency.
We
recommend
this
went
through
our
article
leading
process
through
our
board
and
I
believe
the
fourth
was
given
a
copy
of
the
board
memo.
We
would
like
to
recommend
a
approval
with
continuing
design
review.
Thank
you.
B
H
So
we
actually
consciously
agreed
to
keep
the
trees
and
we
think
we
can
keep
all
of
them
all
along
the
Florida,
but
along
with
that,
the
the
building.
That's
there
now
it's
a
dated
building,
but
it's
set
so
far
up.
It
doesn't
meet
Ada
standards,
there's
no
way
to
build
on
it.
The
majority
of
the
bodies,
the
empty
costs,
separate,
City,
parcel
tactical
parcel.
It's
not
open
space,
it
doesn't
go
with
the
other
lot.
H
As
we
worked
with
the
neighborhood
and
the
neighborhood
groups,
we
actually
scaled
the
project
down.
We
were
in
the
23
unit
range
brought
that
down
included
the
Bike
Room
all
kinds
of
amenity
features,
so
we
really
tried
to
work
this
and
our
building
is
actually
pulled
away.
27
feet
otters
in
the
back
and
it's
a
slow
till.
So
you
really
because
of
that
step
back
you're,
really
not
looking
at
a
building
to
be
looking
at
above
the
building.
H
B
B
Thank
you,
Mr
Shepard,
yes,
Mr
Valencia,.
AC
B
AD
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
Mr
secretary
members
of
the
board
attorney
Joseph
feaster
from
the
law
firm
of
Dane
torpy,
175
Federal
Street
in
Boston
with
me
as
well,
is
Matt
Mueller,
who
I
believe
has
been
is
the
architect.
What
who
is
the
architect
and
I
believe
that
he
has
been
updated
to
a
panelists
and
also
president,
are
my
clients,
Joe,
rogerio
and
Michael,
basing
I
want
to
bring
to
the
board's
attention.
AD
This
was
a
matter
which
was
heard
by
the
board
back
in
January
of
2022,
but
at
that
time
the
matter
was
dismissed
without
prejudice.
We
were
then
seeking
a
nine
unit,
building
But
continuing
our
process
of
working
with
the
community
to
propose
less
before
you
now
is,
in
fact,
a
sixth
unit
condominium
building,
which
is
on
a
8,
000
plus
square
foot
lot
and
violations
that
we
have
I
hate
to
always
characterize,
say
hard
de
minimis,
because
that's
a
determination
for
the
board
to
make.
AD
But
I
will
simply
say
that,
with
regards
to
the
parking
requirement,
they
would
have
would
be
required
by
code
to
have
seven
and
a
half
spaces.
We
are
proposing
six
for
their
six
unit
property
while
we
are
proposing
a
multi-family
use.
This
is
a
three
F
5000
District.
The
Florida
array
ratio
is
a
0.5.
AD
We
are
proposing
a
0.87,
the
building
height
is
2.5,
we
are
proposing
three,
the
front
yard
is
insufficient,
we're
saying
we're:
what's
required
is
15
feet
and
we're
proposing
five
and
I
suspect
that
an
architect
missed
the
Mueller
will
clarify
if
I'm
wrong,
but
that's
because
to
keep
the
street
alignment
and
the
side
yard
is
10
and
we
are
proposing
7.91
for
those
are
some
of
the
dozens
of
responses
to
the
variances
that
are
necessary
and
now
I
will
ask
Mr
Beulah
to
walk
you
through
the
project.
AE
Good
afternoon
board,
my
name
is
Matt
Mueller
from
Q
architecture.
So
I'll
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
the
project.
As
Joseph
said,
this
was
initially
a
pro
we.
Our
first
proposal
was
a
12
unit.
Through
the
first
process
we
reduced
it
to
a
non-unit
and
then
coming
back.
We
produce
it
to
a
six
unit,
so
we
are
trying
hard
to
make
this
address.
The
neighbors
concerns.
AE
Currently
it's
a
three-story
building,
which
we
felt
fit
nicely
with
the
three
story:
three
unit,
three
family
buildings
to
the
right
and
across
the
street,
there's
a
commercial
building
with
three
stories.
Initially,
we
had
a
garage
parking
on
the
first
floor,
which
made
it
four
stories,
but
we
so
we
placed
the
parking
in
the
rear
of
the
lot
and
reduced
it.
One
story
got
rid
of
the
Interior
garage
next
slide.
Please,
the
units
are
all
two
bedroom:
approximately
one
thousand
square
feet,
each
two
bedroom
two
bath
open
Concepts.
Next
back!
AE
Please
next
slide!
Please
and
our
elevations
consist
of
a
traditional
Bay
look
which
again
aligns
with
the
with
the
flow
and
The
Three
Families
next
door
to
continue.
Keep
that
consistent.
Bay!
Look
in
the
neighborhood,
and
it
also
relates
to
the
commercial
building
with
the
manso
roof
across
the
street,
so
we
feel,
like
we've
done
a
lot
in
addressing
the
neighbors
concerns
in
terms
of
the
scale
and
size
of
the
building
on
the
lot,
which
was
the
main
concerns
of
the
initial
proposal
and
I'll,
keep
it
short
and
sweet.
F
Yeah
good
Greece
go
back
to
the
slides,
showing
the
side
planet
in
the
parking
and
I
think
this
question
is
for
the
architect
for
Mrs
Mueller.
So
this
is
a
big
lot
and
unfortunately,
what
I
see
is
that
most
of
the
open
space
is
covered
by
a
pavement
for
for
the
parking.
So
do
you
think
there
is
any
way
to
do
the
parking
closer
to
a
winding
and
to
increase
our
green
space
in
the
back
open
space?
That
is
usable
for
the
residence,
because
this
is
a
huge
parking
lot.
F
AE
Yeah
I
mean
you
know,
this
is
the
internal
debate
with
zba
Projects
Park
University,
Green
Space
versus
height.
So
initially,
like
I
said
we
had
the
parking
underneath
the
building
and
there
was
a
lot
more
green
space
on
the
lot,
but
the
bulk
of
the
building
was
the
main
concern
of
the
residents.
So
we
spread
that
parking
out
toward
the
rear
of
the
lot.
AE
You
know
I
think
we
could
definitely
play
with
it
if
we're
allowed
to
reduce
the
parking.
That
would
definitely
help,
but
there's
not
I
mean
it's
a
slightly
awkward
lot,
so
we
did
have
to
rotate
those
spaces
on
the
side
to
gain
the
extra
a
couple
of
spaces
and
they're.
You
know,
there's
the
corners
obviously
have
a
little
bit
green
space,
but
it
was
our
opinion
that
the
the
concerns
of
the
community
were
they
wanted
parking
and
to
reduce
the
size
of
the
building,
and
so
this
is.
AF
B
You
I
know
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
Y
I'm
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
actually
volunteer
from
the
mayor's
office
and
movement
services
with
the
Newman
liaison
some
background
info
on
the
community
process
office
hover
represented
back
in
November.
Y
All
the
members
and
voters
of
Greater
border
and
Geneva
Association
are
in
favor
of
the
supervised
project,
no
significant
impact
on
the
community
and
with
that
likes
of
our
judgment
to
the
board.
At
this
time,.
AG
AH
AJ
I
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
welcome
to
the
board
this
project.
The
councilor
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
AK
F
AB
B
Great
thank
you
with
that.
May
I
have
a
motion.
B
AL
I
am
if
I'm
a
Madam
chair.
Yes,
thank
you
good
afternoon,
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
board.
This
is
Mike
Ross,
I
Am,
the
attorney
from
Prince
Lobel,
one
international
place
I'm
here
with
my
client
Solomon
chaturi
Solomon
is
a
resident
of
Dorchester
and
the
developer
and
owner
of
this
site
and
the
person
of
color
Andre
Porter
is
our
community
outreach
person
and
our
architect
is
Alfonso
Sarah
and
they
are
here
as
well.
AL
The
site
is
a
5
000,
775
square
foot
lot
in
a
3F
4
000
sub-district
within
the
Roxbury
neighborhood
zoning
district,
and
it's
currently
improved
with
a
nine
Bay
garage
that
is
used
exclusively
for
parking,
and
the
plan
is
to
build
a
four-story
multi-family
residential
private,
with
14
new
residences,
eight
parking
spaces
and
21
of
the
14
new
residences
will
be
affordable,
so
three
of
the
14
will
be
affordable,
21..
AL
So
the
next
slide,
please
Madam
Ambassador
will
show
you
the
site
plan,
and
this
is
actually
to
show
you
along
so
Magnolia
is
at
the
top
and
there's
an
existing
driveway
today.
That
is
shared
between
this
slot
226
Magnolia
and
the
lot
next
to
us
on
the
right,
and
they
have
also
an
existing
easement
there
to
allow
for
the
shared
access
and,
of
course,
there's
an
existing
curb
cut
there.
So
those
will
all
remain
the
same.
AL
You
can
also
see
if
you
just
scroll
up
just
a
teeny
bit
amount
of
Ambassador.
You
can
see
how
the
existing
lot
there
goes
all
the
way
to
pretty
much
all
the
way.
I
think
it's
two
feet
off
the
back
property
line
and
behind
that
is
actually
a
public
park.
AL
The
next
slide.
Please
minimum
Ambassador
here
is
the
existing
conditions.
You
know
visually
you
might
want
to
zoom
in,
but
what
you
can
see
is
that
nine
Bay
one-story
existing
garage-
that's
what's
there
today.
I
would
just
point
out
here:
the
building
to
the
right
of
us,
which
is
a
multi-family
residence
as
well,
is
pretty
much
the
height
of
what
we're
proposing
I'll
walk
through
those
exact
Heights
for
you
in
a
second
but
that's
kind
of
the.
We
want
to
make
that
reference
to
you.
AL
If
we
could
next
slide
please
this
slide
will
just
show
you
how,
with
that
little
diagram
how
the
vehicles
will
access
the
building
they'll
go
down.
AL
The
existing
parking
lot,
which
is
at
a
slope
and
I,
mean
the
existing
driveway
apologies
down
and
which,
down
that
slope
and
they'll
swing
around
into
the
back
and
and
enter
the
the
garage
that
you
see
in
the
rendering
there
on
the
right,
which
will
be
on
the
kind
of
left
corner
of
that
back
of
that
back
of
that
of
the
building
next
slide,
please.
AL
So
these
are
the
floor
plan
slides
five
and
six
and
I
think
they're,
slides
five
and
six
these
this
slide,
and
the
next
slide
are
the
floor
plans
and
they're
on
the
ground
floor.
You
see
the
eight
parking
lots,
the
eight
parking
spaces
lined
up
there
and
then
floors.
One
Sports
two
three
and
four,
as
well
as
a
roof
plan
on
this
side
and
the
next
slide.
AL
What
we
have
here
for
unit
count
is
and-
and
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide-
if
you
want
as
well
is
we
have
two
studio
apartments,
two
one
bedroom
apartments
and
nine
two
bedroom
apartments,
so
I
got
that
right
and
there's
one
three
bedroom
apartment
for
a
total
of
14
and
I'm
using
the
word
apartment.
But
in
fact
this
is
home
ownership,
so
I
really
should
be
using
the
word
condominium
and
you
know,
as
you
can
see,
they're
they're
not
on
sweet
baths.
AL
You
know,
so
you
have
the
one
bath
two
bedrooms,
so
in
an
effort
to
try
to
make
this
an
approachable
unit
on
the
marketplace
and
be
extensive
to
those
cost
drivers,
the
just
the
units
range
in
sizes
from
the
studios
to
the
two
Studios,
which
are
small
at
450
to
the
one
bed,
which
goes
all
the
way
to
1269
that
I
can
get
drill
down
on
that.
If
you'd
like
the
next
slide,
will
just
show
you
elevations
from
the
side,
so
the
upper
left
is,
is
the
right
hand.
AL
Side
of
the
building
the
rear
is
the
back
of
the
building.
The
lower
left
is
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
building
along
that
easement
they're
referenced,
and
then
the
front
of
the
building
is,
from
the
lower
right
hand,
corner
and
you'll
notice.
A
substantial
number
of
balconies
every
single
unit
has
its
own
outdoor
space.
AL
AL
You
know
bike
outdoor
bike,
storage
in
the
rear,
a
seated
lawn
aluminum
Planters,
both
in
the
front
and
in
the
back
a
little
bit
of
a
gathering
area
for
for
residents
in
the
back
and
we'll
we'll
be
using
Precast
pavers
in
the
rear,
so
that
it
allows
for
some
of
the
drainage
just
really
quickly.
Just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what
the
zoning
relief
specifically
is
so
we're
being
cited
for
use
it's
just
a
multi-family
I
did
reference
that
there
are
other
multi-families
on
Magnolia
Street,
the
off
street
parking
here.
AL
They
want
one
per
unit,
we're
at
eight.
They
want
a
2000
square
feet
per
unit
on
the
lot
so
that
that
we're,
you
know
well
we're
not
in
that
in
that
range,
the
floor
area
ratio
for
this
area
is
0.8,
we're
at
a
2.62
we're
close
on
Building,
height,
35
and
three
stories.
We
are
at
43
and
four
store
43
and
four
inches
and
four
stories.
I
mentioned
the
balconies
doesn't
quite
get
us
to
where
we
need
to
be
unusable
up
in
space.
So
we
were
cited
on
that.
AL
The
side
yard
is
insufficient.
They
want
10
feet
on
each
side
which
we
could
not
do
on
this
lot.
We
have
almost
two
feet
on
one
side
and
point
four.
On
the
other,
the
the
rear
yard
I
referenced,
we're
at
a
17..
They
want
a
30
foot,
rear
yard
in
this
area,
and
then
we
were
cited
for
Conformity
of
existing
building
alignment.
I'll
just
pause
there
Madam
chair
and
see
if
there's
any
questions
from
the
board.
B
Thank
you
good
question,
you
reference
other
other
multi-families,
or
do
you
have
a
sense
of
number
of
units,
for
example
the
the
two
buildings?
Next
to
you,.
AL
Yeah
and
those
two
buildings
next
to
us
are
the
other
and
there's
others
too
I.
Just
before
I
got
on
the
call
I
looked
at
it,
I
think
it's
like
I,
don't
want
to
guess:
I
mean
it
was
like
I
think
it
was
like
six
and
one
and
eight
in
the
other,
or
something
like
that
they're
there
it
could
be
a
little
bit
more,
but
it's
around
that
so
A
total
yeah
I
mean
I.
Think
it's
I
think
it's
around
those
numbers,
yeah.
B
AL
In
terms
of
the
depth
going
back,
you
mean
yes,
yeah,
that's
it's
it's
true,
I'm
sure
we
are,
we
do
go
back
further
than
the
other
properties.
We
do
have
more
property
to
play
with
than
the
other
properties.
Some
of
the
other
properties.
Property
lines
are
I.
Think
we
have
the
longest
property
line
on
the
street.
AL
We
did
hold
back
the
existing
one-story
structure,
but,
of
course
we're.
This
is
now
a
four-story
structure.
F
Oh
yeah,
I'm
sure
I
also
wanted
to
comment
that
the
balcony
on
the
left
side
next
to
2228
Magnolia
Street,
for
what
I
understand
only
there
are
only
two
feet,
both
ways
between
the
two
real
names
or
the
property
line
in
those
balconies
for
units.
One
five,
nine
and
thirteen
are
going
to
be
very
dark
because
the
building
next
door
is
blocking
the
the
light
in
the
air
from
those
balconies.
Is
that
correct,
Mr,
Ross.
AL
AL
In
those
particularly
there's
a
good
elevation
there
that
you
might
want
to
Madam
Ambassador
that
might
show
there
are
going
to
be
a
couple
balconies
that
are
abutting
the
the
neighboring.
You
can
go
backwards,
the
other
way
yeah.
Here
we
go
so
I,
guess
those
are
one
two
three
four,
so
those
five
balconies
right
there,
if
you'll
call
them
balconies
one's
at
ground
level
on
the
left
side
of
the
elevation,
will
I
guess
be
with
in
the
immediate
footprint.
AL
If
you
will
of
our
budding
neighbor,
there
is
a
recess
as
I
mentioned
and
yeah
it
was
just.
You
know,
to
try
to
create
some
light
in
the
air.
G
Just
a
Nook
Madam
chair,
there
are
any
other
questions
from
the
board
Madam
chairs.
There
are
numerous
numerous
letters
of
support
and
oppositions.
B
Thank
you.
Can
we
can
we
take
public
testimony.
J
AM
From
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood,
Services
was
held
on
October
13th.
We're
a
better
expressed
strong
opposition
due
to
the
size
of
the
building
of
a
lot
on
residents,
feel
the
space
is
too
small
for
the
project
and
it
will
not
benefit
the
community
parking
and
density
also
being
an
issue.
There
are
numerous
letters
of
opposition
sent
to
our
office,
which
we
reported
I'm,
not
aware
where
of
the
support
letters
where
they
come
from,
but
I
was
told
by
that
there
was
letters
to
support
something
as
well.
AM
At
this
point,
we'd
like
to
refer
to
the
Forum.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
before
I
hear
from
the
next
person
Mr
Stembridge
as
as
we're
taking
public
testimony.
If
you
could
take
a
quick
look
at
those
letters
for
addresses
that
might
be
beneficial,
I'll
continue
taking
public
testimony.
AJ
Right,
yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
representing
the
office
of
District
4
councilor,
Brian
Worrell
and
concerning
226
Magnolia
Street,
our
office
received
seven
letters
of
opposition
and
one
of
support
that,
coupled
with
the
history
from
the
based
in
Project
right
critic,
associations
respectively,
the
council
has
decided
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
to
this
cockpit.
S
Z
L
Hello
good
evening,
Madam,
chair
on
behalf
of
Council
of
routine
religion.
Our
office
have
received
a
numerous
number
of
oppositions,
so
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
opposed
to
the
project.
S
AN
This
is
Michael
closer
from
Project
right,
three,
two:
zero:
the
letter,
a
blue
Avenue.
We
originally
won't
want
to
go
on
record
on
opposition
of
this
project.
We
originally
met
with
the
property
or
the
new
property
owner
on
July
22nd
2020,
and
where
there's
a
strong
composition
to
the
concept
of
what
he
was
trying
to
propose,
he
came
up
with
a
new
development
team.
They
presented
a
plan
to
the
bpda
that
bypassed
project
right
and
all
the
nearby
associations
they
claimed.
AN
They
had
strong
working
relations
at
the
greater
Bowden
Geneva
neighborhood
association,
and
they
cited
them
in
in
their
its
mission
to
the
bpda.
For
this
for
this
site.
For
this
project,
I
sent
you
an
email
from
the
representative
from
the
greater

they
stated

told

they
needed
to
reach
out
to
project
right
and
not
GP

This
location's,

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Jackie
pezalezi
and
I'm,
a
resident
at
233
Magnolia
street
directly
across
the
street,
from
this
proposed
real,
quick
and
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
today
in
strong
opposition.
The
proposed
project
is
simply
too
large,
not
Forward,
Thinking
and
would
add
to
our
already
densely
populated
area.
All
the
parking
issues,
traffic
issues
and
I
also
haven't
heard
anything
about
any
Energy
Efficiency.
AO
S
AP
My
name
is
Tamika
I'm.
The
director
butter
that
lives
at
220,
Magnolia
Street
I,
also
are
in
opposition
for
this
I.
Just
when
I
found
out
about
this
First
Development
I
was
not
aware
notified
that
they
would
want
a
proposal
back
in
July
22
of
2020.
So
there
has
been
a
lack
of
communication
as
far
as
myself
and
my
mother
who's.
AP
The
director
buddy
here
with
my
family
home
I,
definitely
oppose
it
because
of
the
simplest
act
that
that
big
infrastructure
basically
is
going
to
overpower
our
property
line
and
there's
not
going
to
be
any
sunlight
or
anything
over
there.
So
I'm,
definitely
in
disagreement
of
that.
As
far
as
this
new
project
that
he's
coming
up
with,
he
does
not
communicate
with
anybody.
As
far
as
the
people
in
the
neighborhood,
we
already
had
several
meetings
about
this,
these
projects
that
was
in
full
opposition.
AG
AP
AQ
B
B
All
right
he
may
not,
he
may
not
be
on
I
know
he
had
to
jump
off
at
some
point.
So
just
to
read
this
into
the
record.
Bpda
recommends
now
without
prejudice.
Proposal
is
excessive.
Proponent
should
reduce
building's
lock.
Coverage
opponent
should
comply
with
the
rear
yard,
minimum
depth,
department
and
side
yard
minimum
with
requirement
of
article
50..
Are
there
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
AR
AC
B
All
right,
I
think
she
might
have
dropped
off
the
the
chair
also
votes.
Yes,
the
motion
carries
thank
you,
so
Javier
I'm,
just
gonna.
If
this
is
if
Ms
Olivier
didn't
the
drop
off
I'm,
just
gonna
note
to
the
rest
of
the
applicants
that
we
currently
have
a
six-member
board
and
you
will
need
five
members
to
vote
in
favor
for
your
project
to
proceed.
Thank
you.
Mr
sandwich.
AS
Good
afternoon,
Mr
secretary,
thank
you
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
George.
Morency
I
represent
Ariana
the
developer
of
the
property
at
92,
Leonard
Florence
Avenue
in
the
Grove
Hill
Neighborhood
boundary
recognizing
board
is
running
late.
This
is
a
fairly
simple
matter.
I
will
try
to
be
as
brief
as
possible.
This
is
an
application
to
change
the
existing
buildings
legal
occupancy
from
a
free
family
to
a
four
family
dwelling.
The
relevant
zoning
sub
district
is
three
of
four
thousand
zoning
District
within
article
50
in
the
Roxbury
neighborhood
zoning
article.
AS
My
client
seeks
to
legalize
a
separate
unit,
a
garden
level
unit
of
approximately
1302
square
feet.
It
is
a
two
bedroom
two
bath
unit.
It
is
not
a
basement
unit,
as
it
is
full
walkout
in
the
rear,
with
at
least
two-thirds
of
the
unit
being
predominantly
above
grade.
As
the
plans
cross-section
shows,
the
ceiling
height
is
78
inches
in
the
garden
level
unit,
all
living
space,
their
benefits
from
full
size,
fully
above
grade
windows.
AS
These
are
all
kind
of
medium
units,
which
means
that
approvement
this
petition
would
allow
for
the
creation
of
an
additional
home
ownership
opportunity.
In
this
neighborhood
in
terms
of
the
zoning
relief,
the
fourth
unit
is
a
conditional
use
in
the
relevant
free
episode
district.
There
are
also
cited
violations
for
the
institution
lot
area
for
the
additional
growing
unit,
access,
the
floor
area
ratio
and
sufficient
useful
open
space
and
insufficient
off-screen
parking
is
there's
no
means
to
add
parking
to
this
site.
AS
The
proposed
far
is
approximately
1.8,
which
is
our
proposed,
reasonable
and
typical
of
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
The
present
dimensions
of
the
building
are
not
being
changed
in
any
respect.
All
those
proposed
is
the
legalization
of
existing
building
space
as
a
separate
condominium
unit,
rather
than
as
storage
or
utility
space,
for
example,
which
is
all
that
the
zoning
code
would
allow
I'll
pause
and
take
any
questions
that
members
may
have.

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
representing
District
4,
Council
Worrell
and
when
it
comes
to
26
Lawrence
Street,
we
received
formal
support
from
both
the
basement
and
Intervale
Civic
associations
respectively
and
as
such
as
the
counselor
would
like
to
follow
suit
and
offer
to
support
this
cargo.
AJ
S
The
other
race,
dance,
yeah
I,
have
two
raised
him
or
one
sorry,
Mike
go
ahead
and
state
your
name
and
address
please
for
the
record.
AN
This
is
Michael
closer
project
right,
three,
two:
zero:
the
letter,
a
blue
Avenue.
We
want
to
go
on
record
on
supporting
this
project,
the
applicant
map
and
the
butters
met
with
their
Butters.
We
should
note
that
in
1988,
this
property
was
previously
listed
as
the
four
to
six
families,
so
we
just
feel
that
it's
just
restoring
the
building
back
to
its
youth,
neighbors
top
accommoded
on
what
the
property
owner
has
done
to
restore
the
building
and
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
them.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
Just
Madam
chair
yesterday,
people
saying
we
have
one
one
little
support
and
one
level
of
opposition
the
only
night
that
came
with
their
exact
address.
So
all.
B
Right,
thank
you.
Then.
The
recommendation
from
bpda
is
approval
with
Proviso
that
plans
for
any
exterior
changes
be
submitted
to
the
agency
before
before
for
design
review
approval
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
AC

AU
AU
Good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
Hannah
kilson
of
the
law
firm,
knowing
she
and
patton
in
Boston
at
84,
State,
Street,
I,
Council
to
DVM
Consulting,
the
applicant
in
this
matter,
and
I'm
joined
by
the
developer,
dariella
Dylan
Maga,
as
well
as
the
project
architect
Sophie
Norman.
As
noted
at
the
beginning.
AU
This
is
really
three
separate
projects,
companion
projects
and
the
appeal
before
the
board
today
concerns
the
five
separate
vacant
properties
that
the
applicant
intends
to
develop
as
part
of
the
city
of
Boston's
Blue
Hill,
Avenue
action
plan,
B1
project,
for
which
rfps
went
out
by
the
city
in
the
spring
of
2021
and
a
DVM
was
designated
the
developer
of
five
of
these
vacant
Parcels.
AU
The
objective
of
the
city
and
the
issuance
of
the
RFP
was
to
develop
each
parcel
for
affordable
housing,
as
well
as
commercial
space
to
liven
the
street
area.
Where
these
vacant
lots
are
present,
the
units
that
will
be
built
are
either
home
ownership,
condominium
units
or
rental
units
for
households
at
80
percent
or
a
hundred
percent
of
Ami,
and
given
the
size
of
each
project
and
the
parcels.
AU
This
small
project
review
has
been
raised
by
waived
by
the
bpda
before
I
talk
about
the
first
cross
parcel,
which
is
located
at
1028
1044
Blue,
Hill,
Ave
I
wanted
to
make
a
generalized
comment.
That
kind
of
applies
to
all
three
of
the
sites.
AU
All
of
these
all
the
dimensional
violations
that
are
being
noted
here
are
really
the
product
of
the
small
size
of
each
of
these
Lots
in
this
dense
urban
area
along
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
and
it
reflects
the
attempts
of
the
developer
to
build
a
project
that
advances
the
city's,
affordable,
homeownership
objective
service,
as
I
noted
before,
and
the
need
for
more
affordable
housing
for
families
in
the
city
of
Boston.
AU
The
proposed
sighting
of
the
buildings
is
consistent
with
the
character
of
this
neighborhood,
where
there's
a
varyingness
in
terms
of
height
variations
and
buildings,
have
very
minimal
front
yard
or
side
yard
or
rear
yard
setbacks,
and
the
last
point
I'd
like
to
make
that's
remained
to
the
entire.
These
three
sites
is
about
traffic
and
parking.
Two
of
all
of
these
sites
front
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
which
is
a
high
traffic
area.
AU
So
you
will
see
that
we
have
insufficient
parking
on
on
these
Parcels
due
to
the
inability
to
add
any
new
current
cuts,
so
we're
highly
constrained
in
terms
of
parking,
but
this
is
along
Blue,
Hill
Ave,
and
so
there
are
a
series
of
bus
lines
that
run
up
and
down
Blue
Hill
Ave,
connecting
the
residents
of
these
developments
to
Morton
station
to
Nubian
Square
to
and
the
silver
line
and
to
Jackson
Square
and
the
Orange
Line.
AU
AU
The
applicant
is
proposing
to
construct
a
three-story
mixed-use
Development
building
here,
comprised
of
about
15
000
square
feet
on
the
ground
floor
of
commercial
community
space
and
12
residential
apartment
units
consisting
of
four
one
bedroom
units.
Six,
two
bedroom
units
and
two
three
bedroom
units
the
ground
floor.
If
we
could
go
to
the
floor
plan
on
page
nine,
please.
AV
AU
The
ground
floor
will
have
two
two-bedroom
artist,
co-work
spaces
they're,
going
to
be
located
on
the
ground
floor.
The
balance
of
the
residential
space
will
be
located
on
the
second
and
third
floor.
The
one
bedroom
units
here
are
about
700
about.
Excuse
me
600
square
feet.
The
two
bedroom
units
are
approximately
890
square
feet,
except
for
these
artists.
AU
Co-Work
spaces,
which
you
will
see,
are
about
a
little
over
a
thousand
square
feet
and
they
will
have
in
the
front
portion
of
them
production
space,
space
for
the
sale
of
artwork,
so
kind
of
a
commercial
component,
and
then
in
the
back
will
be
the
residential
area.
AU
The
ISD
noted
that
there
were
six
violations
here
and
so
the
zoning
relief
that
is
being
required
for
the
development
at
at
this
site
is
there
an
additional
use
permit.
AU
AU
There
will
be
dimensional
variances
required
for
this
project
for
Florida
ratio
being
excessive.
The
far
under
the
code
is
one
here.
It's
2.3,
the
usable
open
space
is
insufficient
under
the
code.
It's
600
square
feet.
Here,
it's
408
square
feet.
The
rear
yard
is
insufficient.
It
is
required
to
be
20
feet,
and
here
it
will
be
5
feet.
The
building
height
is
noted
as
excessive.
The
building
height
under
the
zoning
code
is
35
feet
and
the
proposed
height
here
is
38
feet
and,
as
I
noted
before,
Osprey
parking
is
insufficient.
AU
B
AU
So
the
next
site
is
10
15
at
10
15
10,
19,
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
it's
comprised
of
of
two
vacant
Parcels
that
are
being
treated
as
a
lot
for
zoning
and
development
purposes.
The
zoning
sub-district
here
is
a
three
family.
Five
thousand
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
construct
a
three-story
mixed-use,
building,
comprised
of
a
1059
square
feet
of
ground
floor,
commercial
space
and
10
residential
homeownership

consisting
of
two
one-bedroom

Five,
two

The
two

and
the
three

are
located
on

are
located
on
the
ground

then
the

can
you
go

one
more
please:
okay,
I'm!
Sorry,
please
go
back
two
sides,
so
the
the
violence
so
the
violations
here.
Let
me
just
note
on
the
size
the
one
red
bedroom
units
are
about
734
square
feet.
Two
bedrooms
range
between
868
and
112

the
three

are
1097.
AU
There
are
dying
violations
here,
for
which
we
are
sipping
variances.
First.
J
AU
AU
Given
the
number
of
units
there
should
be
an
additional
2,
000
square
feet
of

area.
We
only
have
an
additional
excuse
me:
twenty
thousand
square
feet.
We
only
have
an
additional
2037
square
feet,
the
floor
area
ratio
is
excessive,
the
far
required
is
0.8.
Rfar
here
is
1.8,
Building
height
is

Zooming
code
is

We
are
38

We
have
8.06

and,
lastly,
the
parking
is
insufficient
again
the
multi-family
would
require
10
spaces
and
the
office
would
require
an
additional
two.
We
are
not
providing
any
parking
or.
AU
AG
AU
AU
This
site
has
13
violations
noted
again
and
when
it
comes
to
maximize
the
development,
the
the
first
is
use.
We
are
in
a
three
family,
five
thousand
District.
We
are
proposing
a
multi-family
development
as
well
as
a
small
takeout
restaurant
which
are
both
forbidden
uses
and
they
and
therefore
variance
is
needed.
I
think
I've
noted
previously,
but
I
will
again
that
this
area
of
Google
lab
is
really
a
mix
of
residential
along
provide
on
most
of
the
side
streets
and
and
on
summer
Blue

as
well
as
commercial

Community
uses.
AU
This
particular

is
it's
a
butter

is
an
auto
repair
shop

then
across
Fabian

there
is
the
Roxbury

for
Performing

on
the
other

there
is
a

The
other
two

are
right
in
walking
distance

as
well

sort
of
a
similar
environment.
AU
There's
only
the
other
dimensional
violations
lot
area
again
is
insufficient.
Here
we
would
need
an
additional
15
000

Thank
you.
The
front

is
insufficient.
It

This
is
similar
to
much
of
the
development
on
along
Blue

which
is
right
to
the
side
to
the
property
line.
Side

in

3.5.
It
might
be
considered
a
front

but
even
so
it
is
it's.
It's
an
insufficient
width,
whether
a
side
yard
or
a
front

AU
The
refusal

noted
that
the
rear
yard
was
insufficient
and
the
applicant
disagrees
with
that
determination
for
two
bases,
one
that,
since
this
is
a
corner
lot
and
it
meets
the
definition
of
a
corner
lot
under
the
code.
In
terms
of
the
angle,
there
are
no
rear
yards,
there's
only
side
yards
and
this
is
exceeds
the
the
10-foot
side
yard
requirement,
but
if
it
is,
if
it
is
still
considered
by
the
board
to
board
to
be
a
rear
yard,
it
still
is
sufficient.
It's
45.13
feet
is
there
really
are.
AU
AU
All
street
parking
requirements
here
both
for
commercial
and
parking.
We
were
noted
as
a
violation
for
commercial,
but
the
applicant
doesn't
agree
with
this
violation.
Commercial
space
requires
a
half
a
space
for
every
thousand
square
feet
or
one
space
for
two
thousand
square
feet
that,
as
we
noted,
the
commercial
space
here
is
only
700
under
about
so
sorry
about
734
square
feet.
B
B
F
AU
They're
treating
them
each
as
separate
projects,
so
they're
each
separate
projects-
we've
we've-
we've
permitted
them
separately,
but
but
they
were
the
approval
by
the
city,
the
city
approved
or
conveyed
to,
or
intends
to
convey
to
the
developer
each
of
these
Parcels
for
the
proposed
development
of
each
of
the
individual
proposed
development
objectives
and
in
that
way,
they're
a
companion
because
we've
Advanced
them
within
the
neighborhoods
to
see
them
in
together,
but
bpda
considers
each
one
its
own
project
and
they'll
refinance
that
and
they
will
be
financed
and
funded.
That
way,.
F
AU
Can
I,
just
before
the
record
put?
There
are
three
other
violations
that
just
so
that
we
have
them
for
the
record
sure.
AU
Right
well
so
only
parking
Street
exhibition
I
just
want
to
speak
to
two
of
the,
because
there
are
two:
the
remaining
two
violations
are
Conformity
with
existing
building
alignment
and
again
this
is
one
where
we
actually
do
not
believe.
There
is
a
violation
that
we
were
noted
as
having
a
violation.
AU
The
best
project
is
located
between
Brookview
Street
and
Fabian
Street,
and
there
is
only
one
other
building
within
this
block,
which
is
the
auto
repair
shop
that
sits
to
the.
As
you
look
at
the
pictures
to
the
left
to
the
west
of
the
parcel,
and
so
under
the
code.
AU
This.
This
is
the
issue
that
we
are
a
corner
lot
and
the
area
of
the
front
yard,
where
no
structure
should
lie
in
order
to
not
not
impair
traffic
visibility.
Our
building
sits,
however,
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue
the
way
the
way
traffic
moves.
It's
one-way
Direction,
the
the
the
the
you
have
to
turn
right
coming
out
of
Fabian
Street,
and
so
there
is
no
impairment,
because
only
the
traffic
is
coming
from
the
left.
AU
B
You
thank
you
and
I
know
all
right
with
with
that
may
I
take
public
testimony.

describe

Yes,
good

rather
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my

is
Attorney

Mahoney
I
represent
Klaus
Kimmel
and
who's.
The
owner
of
this
project,
at
one
Taylor
Street
and
with
me,
is
El
Peta
from
for
the
architectural
team
just
to
take
us
through
a
briefly
I'd
like
to
go
over
sort
of
the
the
project
at
a
high
level
and
then
talk
about
the
zoning
relief
that
we're
seeking
just
an
interest
of
time
and
I
know
the
board
has
gone
into
the
afternoon
schedule.
Thank.
E
Proposed
article,
a
project
was
approved
by
the
EPA
in
December,
there's
40
residential
dwelling
units
proposed.
It
is
a
Condo
building
for
home
ownership,
additionally
to
the
40
dwelling
units
that
start
on
the
second
to
the
sixth
floor.
There
is
three
retail
spaces:
approximately
a
thousand
square
feet.
On
the
first
floor,
as
well
as
19
parking
spaces
below
grid.
E
The
one
table
street
is
located
in
Economic
Development
Area
for
Dudley
square,
it's
in
the
Nubian
Square
neighborhood
and
we
are
seeking
release
for
height
the
proposed.
The
allowed
height
is
55
feet.
The
proposed
height
is
67
and
a
quarter
feet
and
we
are
seeking
relief
for
floor
area
ratio.
The
zoning
sub
District
here
allows
for
an
far
2.0.
J
E
Proposed
project
is
4.5
and
additionally
there's
a
rear
yard
violation
that
we're
seeking
20
feet
is
required,
and
then
we
have
5.5
scene,
provided
there
is
no
open
space
requirements
for
this
sub-district.
However,
we
do
have
open
space
located
in
the
front
portion,
as
well
as
the
a
green
roof
deck
which
would
be
shared
amongst
the
condo
owners,
and
we
are
seeking
relief
for
parking.
19
parking
spaces
are
provided
again
in
a
below
grade
parking
garage
and
at
40
spaces
would
be
required.
E
Specifically
here
it's
about
five
and
a
half
feet
of
the
building
and
again
this
did
go
through
a
bit
of
design
and
scoping
with
the
bbda
and
additional
design
relief
would
be
required
for
permitting
with
that.
Oh
and
one
last
bit,
there
is
an
IDP
requirement.
13
is
required
because
we
are
seeking
zoning
release.
X
Thank
you
Patrick
good
afternoon,
everyone,
members
of
the
board
Madam
chair,
thank
you
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
present
our
project.
X
As
Patrick
said,
I'm
part
of
the
architect
design
team
I'll
try
to
guide
you
through
the
project
as
quickly
as
possible,
so
our
proposed
building
is
located
on
the
corner
lot
at
the
intersection
of
Warren
Street
and
Tabor
Street.
It
is
currently
occupied
by
one
story:
brick
Lanier,
building
that
hasn't
been
utilized
for
several
years
and
what
we
are
proposing
is
a
new
ground
up,
six-story,
building
with
a
retail
use
on
the
ground,
floor
level
and
residential
use
from
the
second
floor
over
to
the
sixth.
X
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
with
the
the
slides
that
we're
seeing
right
now,
we
are
showing
our
proposed
site
plan
with
the
special
care
that
has
been
given
do
the
dimensions
and
setbacks
of
the
property
line
and
the
building
setbacks.
So
in
close
coordination
with
the
bpda
and
several
meetings
we
had
with
a
Butters
and
neighborhood
groups,
we
try
to
give
a
big
component
of
The
Pedestrian
access
of
the
the
new
project.
X
So
we
are
having
a
14
feet:
setback
along
the
Warren
Street
sidewalk
and
an
11
foot
setback
along
the
Tabor
Street
sidewalk.
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
to
guide
you
through
the
program
of
our
building.
We
have
an
underground
Bible
garage
that
will
be
accessed
through
Tabor
Street,
with
proposed
19
parking
spaces
next
slide.
Please.
X
So,
on
our
ground
floor
we
have
our
residential
entrance
located
along
Tabor
Street,
creating
a
pedestrian
friendly
access
along
Tabor
Street
with
just
residential
uses,
mainly
along
that
street,
and
then
along
Warren
Street.
We
have
placed
the
three
new
proposed
retail
spaces,
activating
the
use
of
that
space
and
investigative
to
the
deadly
bus
station.
So
we
have
residential
access
through
deadly
and
Retail
through
Warren
Street,
some
of
the
utilities
Building
Services
of
the
building
are
located
there,
as
well
as
the
bike
storage
area
again
designed
within
the
guidelines
through
the
bbda.
X
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
So
our
typical
residential
floor
layout
shows
the
composition
of
the
proposed
units
with
a
variety
of
two
bedroom
units
and
one
bedroom
units,
so
eight
units
per
floor.
The
following
slides
are
similar,
so
we
can
go
to
the
next
second
floor.
Third
floor
horse
lore.
Please.
X
So
the
articulation
of
the
units
has
taken
into
consideration
the
distribution
of
the
affordable
units,
as
in
the
Market
unit,
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please,
the
next
one
thank
you
and
the
next
one
so
arriving
at
the
roof
level.
Since
all
our
residential
floors
are
typical
pretty
much,
we
are
proposing
a
green
roof
with
installation
of
solar
panels,
which
has
been
a
big
component
of
the
design
consideration
for
Energy
Efficiency
in
an
open
roof
deck
for
the
use
of
the
tenants.
X
So
going
to
the
next
few
slides,
we
will
see
the
articulation
of
the
exterior
design,
so
we
have
a
front
facade
along
Warren
Street
on
the
first
floor,
the
retail
components
with
a
bigger
glass
fenestration
and
a
masonry
cladding
component.
That
runs
two
stories
high
to
articulate
and
in
dialogue
with
the
opposing
building
of
the
Ferdinand
building
going
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
X
This
is
the
side
elevation
looking
towards
the
deadly
Nubian,
Square,
I'm,
sorry
and
the
bus
station,
where
we
are
proposing
a
potential
Cafe
used
for
the
corner
of
the
of
the
project.
Next
slide,
please!
X
This
is
the
rear
facade
where
we
see
on
the
ground
floor.
The
access
to
the
building
services
such
as
trash
rooms
and
rear
exits
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
our
main
facade
located
on
Tabor
Street,
with
a
cat
delivered
Bay
taking
place
from
the
second
floor
to
the
sixth
floor,
creating
a
natural
canopy
above
our
residential
entrance
to
the
left
of
this
elevation.
X
We
see
the
entrance
to
the
garage
that
will
lead
to
the
Underground
Level
and
the
corner
on
the
right
corner
of
this
elevation
is
the
the
lobby
and
the
lounge
room
that
is
proposed
for
the
services
of
the
building.
The
next
slide,
please.
X
X
Okay
with
this
rendered
elevation,
we
are
showing
the
relationship
in
height
and
we
proposed
one
table
Street
building
right
in
front
of
the
newly
constructed
constructed
10,
labor
Street
Building,
going
to
the
next
slide.
Please,
and
with
these
rendered
views,
it's
a
a
proposal
of
the
potential
cladding
material
that
will
be
composed
of
a
masonry
veneer
for
the
first
two
floors
and
ceramic
panels,
alongside
with
aluminum
composite
panels
for
second
to
six
foot.
B
AZ
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Connor
and
even
with
the
mayor's
office,
Neighborhood
Services
standard
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
This
went
through
a
bpa-led
community
process
that
we
understand
was
was
very
productive
where
attendees
expressed
support
with
that
we
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank
you.

AD
I
am
Madam

My
name

I'm
sitting
in
my
capacity
as
chairman
of
the
board
of
the
Urban
League
of
Eastern
Massachusetts,
located
at
88,
Warren
Street
I've
seen
this
this
proposal
before
I
know
the
work
of
a
attorney
Mahoney
on
on
this
project.
Certainly
this
is
one
we're
doing
a
number
of
projects
in
the
Nubian
square
area.
We
do
a
newbie
in
a
sense.
AD
In
fact,
Urban
League
is
doing
a
building
so
to
see
this
area
in
that
particular
building
revitalized,
as
proposed
by
Mr
Mahoney,
is
something
which
is
welcome
in
the
community.
So
I
stand
in
support
of
this.
This
proposal.

I'm
not

you
quickly,
let
us
know
what
the
problem,

the.
BC
Violation
very
quick:
this
is
four
violations
that
were
triggered
through
the
filing
of
amendment
to
an
existing
alt
for
an
ongoing
project
at
nine
Monument
Square
in
Charlestown,
we
had
filed
an
amendment
to
add
a
roof
deck
to
the
building
that
would
be
accessed
through
a
hatch
dedicated
to
the
top
four
unit
as
a
private
roof
deck
to
that
unit,
with
only
access
to
it.
BC
From
that
unit
from
an
interior
stair
to
a
hatch,
we
also
did
a
reconfiguration
of
the
mechanical
room
which
allowed
us
to
reconfigure
the
lower
level
of
the
space
to
add
a
Studio
unit.
The
legal
occupancy
of
the
building
per
the
alt
is
five
units.
The
original
alt
proposal
was
for
four
units,
but
through
the
reconfiguration
we
were
able
to
add
this
additional
studio.
BC
The
violations
that
were
triggered
were
and
I'm
not
sure
if
design
overlay
district
is
actually
a
violation,
but
it
was
called
out
by
the
plan
examiner
the
roof
structure
restriction,
which
is
standard
for
Charlestown
forbidden
basement
units.
However,
the
lower
level
of
this
building
had
been
utilized
as
living
space
prior
and
the
floor
area
ratio
excessive.
BC
Through
this
reconfiguration
of
the
mechanical
room,
we've
actually
increased
the
far
from
the
existing
non-conforming,
far
of
2.38
to
a
proposed
of
2.54,
so
a
0.16
increase,
or
a
total
of
just
under
500
square
feet
of
living
area
increase
through
the
reconfiguration
of
the
low
lower
level
in
the
re,
the
redesign
of
the
stair
leading
to
that
lower
space
from
the
first
floor,
The
Studio
unit
would
have
direct
access
from
Monument
Square
directly
in
it
has
its
own
separate
entrance.

Is
it

Neighborhood
Services
and
a
Buddhist
meeting
was
held
on
December
14th
for
the
applicant.
It
was
well
attended.
That
being
said,
our
office
did
receive
only
one
letter
of
support
with
zero
letters
in
opposition,
and
with
that
we
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
B
Thank
you
any
questions,
further
questions
from
the
board.
All
right
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
M
Almost
seem
to
approve
with
bpda
design
review
and
the
Proviso
that
they
rework
the
back
egress
for
the
rectifying
proposed
egress.
What
does
it
say
at
the
fourth?
It
shouldn't
rely
on
connecting
to
the
adjacent
properties,
decks.
M
BC
Because
it's
sad
that
the
that
we're
actually
not
seeking
any
kind
of
relief
on
that
that
was
approved
by
ISD.
Oh,
it
was
okay,
yes,
yep.
The
four
violations
were
ndod
roof
structure,
restriction,
basement
unit
and
floor
area.
That

we're
proposing

the
two
family
home
with
four
off
street
parking
spaces.
The
two
these
two
condo
units
will
provide
home
ownership
opportunities.
There's
only
one
zoning
violation
that
we're
seeking
relief
for
and
not
one
violation,
is
the
use
forbidden.
That's
because
we're
proposing
a
two
family
and
a
one-family
sub-district.

Now,
as
shown
in
the
proposed
plans
unit

1550

There
will
be
two

will
be
a

which
include
is

I'll
pause
it
this

any
questions

may
have

AR
Me
all
right
yep,
it
says
the
video
it
doesn't
matter
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
ever
change
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
applicant
for
said,
Woodhaven
had
no
Butters
meeting
on
September
20
2022.
They
met
with
the
Woodhaven
covert
Regis
neighborhood
association.
AR
AR
Wcrna
is
stating
this
Fallen
concern,
so
they
are
concerned
about
the
trustworthiness
of
the
owner
to
follow
through
on
the
plans
presented
to
them
and
the
past
the
owner
has
expressed
interest
in
developing
an
adjacent
apartment,
Universe
daughters.
Yes,
the
current
plan
is
for
marketing,
too,
is
for
marketing
two
Condominiums.
They
believe
this
will
be
sold
as
represented.
AR
Also,
a
commitment
to
diversity
and
advertising
the
units,
as
for
sale,
they're
concerned
about
the
current
neighborhood
Workforce
demographic,
as
it's
not
excluded
for
that
they're
not
excluded
from
an
opportunity
for
affordable
home
ownership,
and
then
they're
also
worried
about
the
impact
of
condominium
development
on
current
property
values.
AR
The
president
for
owners
with
similarly
sized
Parcels
to
pursue
condominium
development
is
being
reinforced
in
rule
of
singling
two-family
homes,
so
they
are
recommending
that
the
DBA,
as
for
the
following,
provides
those
regarding
the
plans
that
assure
the
following
the
skills
of
Condominiums
do
not
exceed
adjacent
homes,
on
Woodhaven,
Street
and
Culver
Street,
the
step
back
from
Woodhaven
Street,
equal
neighboring
properties
and
zba
guidelines,
the
large
rock
formation
be
removed
without
damage
to
the
properties,
a
management
plan,
Force
removal
be
included
in
the
plan
and
the
Landscaping
be
reviewed,
not
just
the
the
papers.
AR
C
BE
B
That's
all
okay,
with
that,
any
any
additional
questions
from
the
board.
If
not
may
I
have
a
motion.
G
G
AF
G
AF
A
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
also
have
a
support
letter
from
the
city
council
at
lodge
Julia.
B
Mr
Stembridge,
the
representative
for
councilor
Arroyo's
office,
who
you
referenced,
indicated
that
these
were
not
letters
of
opposition.
Can
you
clarify.
AR
Recommendations
to
our
office,
as
of
now
they
recommended
that
the
zba
asked
for
the
provisos.
However,
we
did
not
get
any
recommendation
for
opposition
or
support.
They
are
asking
that
they
that
they
provide
those
do
be
implemented,
though.
Thank.
BB
Make
a
motion
for
approval
with
Proviso
of
a
bpda
design
review
I'm,
not
sure
any
provisions
needed.
B
Okay,
may
I
have
a
second
second
Mr
Shepard,
yes,
Mr
Valencia,
yes,
Mr
Stembridge,
yes,
Mr
Collins,
yes,.
AC
B
Okay,
can
you
identify
yourself
and
your
address
for
the
record?
Yes,
we
can.
BF
B
Yes,
we
can
hear
you,
can
you
please
briefly,
let.
B
BG
BH
N
BI
Can
you
guys
hear
me?
Yes,
we
can
okay,
okay,
I
know
we
I
have
to
be
quick
because
we
wasting
a
little
bit
of
time.
So
this
is
a
proposal
for
my
client
to
create
a
hybrid
of
elderly
housing
on
the
Upper
Floor
of
this
existing
building
with
Adult
Day
Care
in
a
lower
level.
A
little
bit
of
background,
my
clients
have
upgraded,
are
currently
operating,
two
Adult
Day
Care
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
are
very
successful.
BI
So
what
they're
trying
to
do
is
maybe
consolidates
some
of
their
programs
and
to
ditch
building
with
the
with
the
original
residential
units,
above
so
what
they
are,
and
what
we're
proposing
is
14
units
of
a
mix
of
studios
and
and
one
bedroom,
elderly
housing
on
the
operative
floors
with
the
Adult
Day
Care
and
the
second
floor,
I
mean
on
the
lower
floor
and
we
supported
spaces
spread
on
each
one
of
the
floor.
Like
on
the
first
floor,
we
have
two
spreading
spaces
on
each
of
the
other
floors.
We
have.
BI
We
have
an
office,
slash
kind
of
A,
Gathering
Room
for
each
one
of
each
of
the
floors.
For
the
for
the
for
the
site
plan,
we're
proposing
some
parking
spaces
and
some
green
space,
some
some
area
for
the
for
the
residents
to
to
relax
during
the
the
the
spring
and
summer
months,
we're
proposing
to
add
an
elevator
to
the
building,
which
does
not
have
we're
also
proposing
to
add
a
couple,
any
kind
of
accessible
ramps,
one
at
the
front
and
one
on
the
side
of
the
building.
BI
Currently
the
building
is
a
vacant
building
that
has
not
been
used
for
what
I
would
say
for
a
few
decades
right
now,
there's
a
lot
of
dumping
happening
on
the
site.
So
it's
a
big
issue
for
the
neighborhood
and
I
think
our
proposal
is
is
is,
is
is
looking
to
actually
bring
some
life
to
this
building
and
make
sure
that
it's
also
brings
some
much
needed
elderly
housing
to
the
neighborhood.
BI
The
only
exterior
program
we're
making
is
we're
adding
a
couple,
any
kind
of
accessible
ramps
and
and
of
course,
some
Landscaping
work.
Okay,
this
character.
Yes,.
AR
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Eric
James
of
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
again,
the
applicant
for
120
to
124
Babson
Street
had
the
butters
meeting
on
September
1st
2022..
They
met
with
the
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
Council,
which
is
requesting
that
they
defer
to
April
to
allow
for
the
applicant
to
present
to
their
zoning
committee
in
March.
The
applicant
has
stated
that
they
have
tried
to
schedule
a
meeting
with
the
gmnc
on
numerous
occasions
and
have
been
unsuccessful.
AR
The
gmsc
has
stated
that
they
are
were
aware
of
the
previous
proposal
when
it
was
18
units
but
haven't
seen
any
updated
plans
or
met
with
the
applicant.
Since
the
proposal
was
reduced
to
14
units,
they
were
opposed
to
the
18
unit
and
15
unit
proposal.
So
they
would
like
to
hear
the
14
unit
proposal
and
the
changes
to
the
unit.
They
are
asking
that
the
applicant
presenting
updated
proposal
to
their
board
in
their
March
March
hearing.
AR
BI
If
I
can
just
jump
in
quickly,
thank
you,
Eric.
The
the
reduction
from
18
to
14
units
was
suggested
to
us
by
the
Mattapan
neighborhood
group.
So
so
that's
why
we
that's
why
we
went
into
that
direction,
because
I
figured
it
would
be
easier
to
get
a
much
better
received
from
18
to
4,
from
18
to
14
and
I.
Think
what
we
are
hoping
to
do
is
to
maybe
get
some
get
approval,
which,
with
providers
that
we
that
we
get
just
report
if
needed,.
B
Okay,
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
B
P
P
B
AC
AC
B
Mr
Stembridge,
yes,
Mr
Collins,
yes,
Miss
panado,
yes,
Miss
Olivier,
yes,
chair
also
votes,
yes
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Good
luck.
Do
we
have
a
date
Mr
Stembridge,
the.
BI
Is
there
any
trips
that
we
could
get
something
sooner
as
I
want
to
just
stress
to
the
to
the
board
that
you
know
my
clients
has
lost
quite
a
bit
of
time,
guys.
B
I
think
that's
the
earliest,
and
what
I
also
heard
was
that
there
was
a
request
that
you
go
back
to
the
neighborhood
association
in
March.
BF
Can
I
can
I
just
make
a
can
I
just
make
a
quick
suggestion.
We've
had
this
project
for
quite
a
while.
Now
we've
lost
quite
a
bit
of
money.
It's
not
because
of
us,
it's
mostly
through
the
city
process
of
not
everyone
being
aligned,
and
we've
tried
numerous
a
Time
to
try
to
get
this
project
moved
forward
for
the
past
years,
like
it's
been
at
least
close
to
two
years
now,
where.
B
AE
AN
BJ
AM
B
We
do
apologize,
but
we
do
hope
you
go
back
to
the
community
as
as
requested,
and
then
we
will
see
you
in
April.
BG
I
think
that's
very
our
president.
So
good
afternoon,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Derek
small
I'm.
A
business
is
just
one
job
Salon
in
my
entry
with
me,
I
have
Eva
call
me
who's.
The
president
and
CEO
of
Commonwealth
man,
Trust
I,
think
Michael
Fence.
The
architect
is
also
on
for
the
project
I'm
sure
we
are
here
today
seeking
relief
to
remove
the
move
to
diviso
to
this
petitioner.
Only
from
the
prime
at
570
Warren
Street.
We
have
a
Montague
House
of
17
lodges,
we're
here
on
that
one.
BG
We
move
the
provider
to
this
petition,
not
only
transfer
that
the
license
over
to
Commonwealth
branches
on
this
run.
Zoning
sub
District,
because
if
we
have
four
thousand
a
lot
size
is
7629
square
feet
and
again
our
only
violation
for
that
one
is
conditions
for
the
period.
So
it's
removable
with
regard
to
570
R
Warren,
we're
changing
the
legal
occupancy
from
a
family
dwelling
to
a
losing
house
with
10
lodgings
and
there
the
zoning
sub
district
is
three
hours
thousand,
not
a
lot
of
size.
For
that
is
498
square
feet.
BG
The
use
regulations.
The
lodging
house
is
one
of
the
violations
we
are
under
The
Far,
Side
yard
setback
requirements,
10
feet,
we
have
six
on
one
and
four
on
the
other.
The
rear
yard
violation
card
was
30
feet
and
we
have
6.3
Madam
chair.
The
existing
property
at
570r
again
is
a
two-family
dwelling
and
the
RC
subscribe
to
provide
the
house
with
regard
to
the
overalls
one
of
the
plans.
We
are
reducing
the
number
of
Lodgers
from
the
previous
owner
who
had
six.
BG
We
are
reducing
it
to
28.,
it
was
sent
back
and
we
were
deferred
either
Awards
go
back
and
meet
with
the
abundance
of
the
rear
of
the
property
on
elmhill,
Park
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
we
didn't
meet
with
them
and
we
had
good
dialogue
with
regard
to
project
I'll.
Stop
there
myself
or
even
Comey
who's.
The
president
of
the
Oklahoma
World
Manchester
answer
any
questions
that.
AH
N
So
these
are
lodging
houses
with
shared
kitchens
and
baths.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
operations.
BG
B
BG
We
met
with
project
Wright,
my
cousin
project
rate,
I,
think
three
or
four
times,
and
they
voiced
their
support
for
the
project
and
again
we
would
defer
to
go
back
to
be
your
Butters.
The
rear
of
the
property
on
Elm
Hill
Park
then
meet
with
those
folks.
BG
They
were
very
supportive
and,
as
we
move
forward
and
I
think
a
number
of
their
issues
were
addressed.
You
know
learning
that
we
are
our
new
owners
coming
into
this,
as
they
have
issues
with
them.
Robert.
BK
The
good
afternoon
are
you
able
to
hear
me
yes,.
BK
Okay,
thank
you
for
letting
me
in
and
helping
with
the
process.
Also,
the
question
was
regarding
the
operations,
all
the
property,
so
this
will
be
26
units
of
the
party
housing.
They
will
be
fully
subsidized
and
they
will
be
also
supported.
Services.
The
funding
will
come
from
the
state,
mostly
oh
dhcd
vouchers,
and
also
some
funding
for
services
from
the
Department
of
Public
Health,
so
various
other
sources
that
we're
still
working
on
this
is
very
similar
to
our
current
operations
at
Crawford
Street.
BK
We
operate
a
similar
model
and
that's
that's
in
the
vicinity.
So
I
don't
know.
If
you

start
and
we
worked
with
then
councilor
Jackson
from
2013
pushing
these
folks,
but
they
did
still
had
56
tenants
in
these
two
properties
that
caused
a
lot
of
problems.
So
we
worked
for
many
years
trying
to
address
this.

we
worked
with

became

like
to
thank
the

allowed
us
to
deferral
so
that
we
could
have
a

We

There
was
a

that
we
sent
over
to
the
zba
hearing
department,
as
well
as
to
Steve
Wilkins
of
the
Commonwealth
Land
Trust.
Although
we
are
in
support
of
their
initiative,
we
did
have
a
few
things
that
we
would
like
to
contribute
to
make
sure
that
the
neighbors
in
the
neighborhood
feel
safe
and
are
in
full
support
of
what
their
Endeavors
are.

This
document
was
shared
to
everyone

as
long
as
they
are
able
to
to
sincerely
and
authentically
commit
to
some
of
the
things
that
the
the
relative
I'm
sorry,
the
residents
of
our
neighborhood,
are
concerned
about
I.
Think
that
we'll
be
okay
moving
forward
with
their
project.
AC
B
I
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Richard
Linz,
with
the
business
address
of
245
Sumner
Street
East
Boston.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
patience
today.
Members
of
the
board
I
know
it's
a
long
day
and
you
have
more
to
go.
I
will
be
as
brief
as
possible,
but
a
very
straightforward
proposal.
This
involves
a
pre-existing
multi-family
building
in
the
North
End
section
of
the
city
of
Boston.
Our
proposal
is
a
very
straightforward,
simple
change.
The
first
and
lower
level
are
part
of
one
unit.
I
We
are
proposing
to
divide
those
units
to
divide
that
space
into
two
units
by
changing
existing
living
space
in
the
lower
level
to
Independent
unit.
So
the
change
of
occupancy
here
would
involve
the
change
from
a
six
unit
to
a
seven
unit,
building
that
isn't
allowed
use
under
article
54
in
the
North
End,
so
no
relief
necessary
for
the
change
of
use
because
the
building
is
already
non-conforming
in
most
respect
with
respect
to
dimensional
controls
in
the
neighborhood.
The
change
obviously
would
trigger
some
technical
violations.
I
If
we
want
to
jump
to
slide
nine
I
believe
that
is
the
relevant
slide,
showing
the
floor
plan
of
what
we're
proposing
for
change
here.
That
slide
is
perfect
right
there.
So,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
screen,
that
is
the
lower
level
ground
floor
plan
that
level
currently
is
habitable
occupiable
space.
There
will
be
a
reprogramming
of
the
space
directly
above
it,
which
is
part
of
the
the
same
unit
making
that
Independent
Living
unit.
You
can
see
a
proposed
first
floor
plan.
I
The
lower
level
would
be
a
studio
side
unit.
We
also
include
an
area
that's
required
of
the
building
code
for
utility
space,
as
you
can
see
outlined
in
the
red
area.
The
building
is
already
fully
sprinkled
and
therefore
would
comply
with
the
life
safety
requirements
or
building
of
this
size.
We
are
proposing
this
change
with
respect
to
the
building
and
requesting
no
building
code
relief
for
this
project.
With
respect
to
the
release
that
is
necessary,
there
is
a
use
issue.
This
is
considered
depending
on
how
you
measure
the
building.
I
This
would
be
considered
a
basement
unit.
However,
we
do
have
adequate
availability
of
windows
and
openings
that's
shown
on
the
on
the
plans
that
have
been
submitted.
In
addition,
because
the
modification,
some
of
the
space
will
increase
slightly
the
total
available
growth
floor
area,
we
are
increasing
the
far
a
bit
as
well
ever
so
slightly
is
again
already
a
non-conforming
condition,
so
we
request
a
relief
for
that
and
then
from
a
technical
standpoint,
because
the
building
as
it
currently
sits
on
the
lot,
doesn't
really
afford
much
open
space.
I
The
addition
or
introduction
of
a
new
unit
triggers
usable
open
space
as
well.
However,
we
are
not
decreasing
any
available
area.
That's
the
outside
of
the
building.
There
really
isn't
much
to
speak
of
anyhow.
There
is
a
also
a
minor
change
on
the
roof.
There
are
some
addition
of
some
Mechanicals.
We
do
propose
adequate
screening
and
buffering
I
know
that
was
a
part
of
the
bpda's
recommendation
as
well,
which
we're
happy
to
work
through
with
respect
to
those
items.
Last
but
not
least,
is
parking.
I
The
introduction
of
an
additional
dwelling
unit
does
require
an
additional
parking
space.
However,
based
upon
the
design
of
the
building,
certainly
the
neighborhood
there
would
be
no
opportunity
to
add
additional
parking
in
this
particular
case.
I'll
stop
there
and
answer
any
questions
the
board
may
have
Madam
chair.
Thank.
B
Thank
you
with
that.
May
I
have
public
testimony.
BE
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Sierra
Demico,
with
the
mayor's

of
Neighborhood
Services,
the

was
an

held
on

do
have

Excuse
me
a
non-ob

like
to
defer
to

judgment.

Mr

Madam

the
board
attorney
Ryan

with
Alexander
moranzi
business
address
of
168
H
Street
South
Boston
first
floor
with
me
today
is
Peter
McCleary
from
Media
Partners,
as
you
may
recall,
this
case
has
has
been
previously
brought
back
to
the
board
for
a
reconsideration,
as
there
were
elevation
drawings
that
were
inadvertently
not
submitted
to
the
board
upon
the
initial
presentation.
Since
then,
those
plans
have
been
resubmitted
they're.
BN
The
plans
that
are
here
in
front
of
you
today
and
then
coupled
with
some
administrative
deferrals,
so
we're
back
here
today.
This
is
a
proposal,
is
forward
to
a
conditional
use
permit
to
construct
a
14
feet
by
48
feet
single
face
digital
billboard
freestanding
pylon
to
the
rear
of
the
property
of
82
through
84
Boston
Street,
overlooking
Interstate
93,
which
is
owned
by
the
Polish
American
citizens
Club
a
non-profit
organization.
BN
We
understand
and
respect
the
city's
position
on
billboards,
but
this
is
a
unique
proposal
that
would
also
assist
in
the
city's
vision
of
decluttering
billboard
signs
in
residential
neighborhoods
by
committing
to
remove
existing
billboard
locations
from
our
residential
neighborhoods
in
consideration
of
adding
one
digital
face.
Billboard
overlooking
90
overlooking
the
Interstate
93,
a
location
where
field
boards
should
be,
and
not
within
our
neighborhoods.
BN
The
locations
being
identified
for
removal
are
one
The
Strand
Theater,
which
is
located
at
543
Columbia
Road
in
another
location
of
43
Pebbles,
Preble
Street,
which
will
remove
four
faces
from
these
residential
neighborhoods.
In
a
combined
total
removing
these
two
locations,
The
Strand
Theater,
was
permitted
back
in
1918,
which
had
permits
for
two
signs
approximately
12
feet
by
24
feet
and
now,
as
you
can
see
it
here
today,
it
has
been
combined
into
one
enormous
sign
at
20
feet
by
50
feet.
BN
B
BN
The
Preble
Street
location
was
permitted
back
in
1945,
which
has
two
sides
to
the
sign
so
again
those
12
feet
by
24
feet,
for
we
request
a
Proviso
that,
if,
if
this
is
approved
from
this
board,
that
a
permit
will
not
issue
for
to
build
the
the
billboard
on
the
Polish,
1182,
Boston
Street,
and
so
those
commitments
of
those
locations
have
been
officially
removed
and
they
are
down
completely
and
entirely.
BN
The
uses
are
forbidden
which
is
required,
which
is
when
we
require
the
board
to
Grant
the
conditional
use
permit,
if
approved
by
this
board.
The
proponent
would
also
have
to
further
Engage
The
Conservation
Commission
for
review
on
air
right
open
space,
as
well
as
seek
the
state
approval
for
outdoor
advertising
by
wedding
history.
This
address
is
the
home
of
the
Polish
American
citizens
Club,
a
non-profit
organization
that
has
been
in
existence
for
over
81
years,
in
a
vital
part
to
this
Dorchester
community.
That
is
referred
to
as
the
Polish
triangle.
BN
Again,
the
billboard
is
located
in
the
rear
of
the
property,
overlooking
Interstate
93
to
the
right
of
the
property.
There
are
a
couple
of
abutting
parcels,
as
you
can
actually
see
in
this
in
this
image
that
you
have
here.
So
if
you
look
into
the
image
head
on
to
the
left,
that
is
Rawson
Street,
there
are
only
residential
natives
to
have
any
sighting
of
the
billboard,
which
is
minimal.
The
view
from
their
properties
would
only
be
the
side
of
the
sign
and
not
a
head-on
view.
BN
Given
this,
the
operator
has
decided
to
use
this
new
light
blocking
technology
that
eliminates
any
light
illuminate
coming
from
the
billboard
to
where
these
properties
align,
Peter
McClary
is
here
with
me
today.
So
after
I
finish
my
sentiments,
if
you
have
any
specific
questions
relating
to
that,
like
blocking
technology,
people
will
be
happy
to
answer
them.
They
operator
further
agrees
to
add
a
Proviso
again.
BN
If
this
board
approves
this
billboard,
stating
that
it's
the
light
blocking
technology
does
not
function
as
it's
supposed
to
and
is
expressed
to
the
neighbors
of
rosson
Street,
then
the
sign
will
come
down
further.
The
the
proponent
has
agreed
as
requests
from
the
neighbors
to
add
some
plantings
along
the
sidelines
of
93,
to
blocking
their
properties
to
prevent
any
sort
of
more
pollution
that
the
cars
are
that
they're
experiencing
from
93.
again.
BN
Lastly,
we
understand
the
bpda's
recommendation
and,
if
approved,
the
operator
will
comply
with
all
the
conditional
requirements
under
article
11,
section
6,
but
we'll
amend
their
hours
of
operation
from
2
A.M
to
7
A.M,
rather
than
using
those
hours.
The
proponent
has
decided
to
choose
to
use
the
hours
of
12
a.m,
to
7
A.M,
to
prevent
any
more
distraction
during
the
dark
morning.
Hours
of
travel
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
the
board
for
any
questions.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
I
think
you've
met
yeah
answer
answered
my
main
question,
which
was
whether
you've
identified
the
other
Billboards
to
remove
so
with
that.
Are
there
any
other
questions
from
the
board
so.
N
BN
No,
no,
he
does
not
own
those
signs,
but
he
has
signed
agreements
with
those
locations
that
those
those
locations
will
be
removed.
And
again,
that's
us
asking
the
board,
if
approved,
to
have
their
Proviso
if
those
sign
locations
do
not
come
down.
No
permeable
issue
for
this
board
to
be
built.
N
BN
Well,
legally,
I'm,
not
quite
sure
you
know
what
or
if
there's
non-disclosures
I
didn't
have
any
sort
of
capacity
in
negotiating
those
deals
or
settlements
and
typically
from
what
I'm
told
is
that
there's
usually
a
non-disclosure
in
there
of
not
sharing
the
confidential
information
within
those
agreements.
So
I
I
thought
it
was
important
to
have
a
Proviso
added
into
there
stating
that
if
those
signs
do
not
come
down
at
all,
then
this
time
doesn't
get
built.
But.
BN
BO
I
can
if
we
have
agreements
with
the
property
owners,
who
are
the
landlords,
the
the
signs
are
on
leases
that
are
no
longer
their
term
is
expired,
so
we're
compensating
these
two
property
owners
for
as
long
as
the
billboard
is
up
at
the
Polish
Center,
they
will
be
paid
a
sum
of
money
that
we
have
negotiated
and
agreed
to
so
that
they're
not
hurt
by
economically
by
you
know
this
project
and
we've
worked
and
I've
listened
to
some
public
meetings
in
the
city
of
Austin.
BO
Just
two
years
ago,
when
there
were
numerous
mentions
of
how
the
Redevelopment
Authority
took
over
the
Strand
Theater
put
millions
of
dollars
into
it,
and
yet
they
still
have
this
huge
ugly,
billboard
in
in
a
neighborhood
where
it
really
shouldn't
be,
so
we
targeted
that
because
it
was
difficult
and
expensive
and
and
we
have
agreements
to
take
them
down
and
as
as
attorney
Spitz
as
as
said
before,
you
know,
this
is
a
very
expensive
sign.
N
Just
tell
me
perhaps
what
doesn't
comply
about
this
sign
with
the
billboard
requirements
so.
BN
The
the
BPD
I
know
Josh
Hampton
is
not
here,
I'm
sure
he
could
comment
more,
so
the
bpdas
requirements
they
they've,
dedicated
it
and
committed
certain
areas
of
having
these
signs
right
and
the
whole
intentions
of
the
bpda
was
to
keep
these
out
of
our
residential
neighborhoods
and
in
overlooking
places
in
certain
areas.
Just
like
overlooking
93..
However,
this
is
one
of
the
locations
that
was
carved
out
is
that
it
was
a
forbidden

I'm
sure
you'll
hear

opinions.

Thank
you,
madam
chairman
of
the
board
Paul
Sullivan
of
the
city
council
at
large
Michael
Flaherty,
due
to
the
the
revenue
that
this
would
generate
for
the
the
Polish
Club,
a
great
Community
spot
for
the
Dorchester
South
Boston
neighborhood,
and
the
fact
that
there
are
other
Billboards
throughout
the
neighborhood
that
will
be
removed.
Council
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
AI
L
Good
afternoon
this
is
Elizabeth
Chabert
cyber.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
yes,
sir
okay
I
own
31,
Watson
Street
directly
at
button
that
billboard
I
will
directly
impacted
by
the
billboard
and
I
support.
The
project
I
am
up.
I
was
part
of
the
Polish
Community
and
the
American
citizens.
Club
is
an
important
organization
to
the
Polish
Community
that
has
been
around
for
80
years
and
I
would
like
to
support
the
project.
K
Hi,
yes,
my
name
is
Peter
diesek
I
live
at
141
Dorchester
Ave
in
South,
Boston
I'm,
also,
the
the
treasurer
of
the
Polish
Club,
obviously
I'm
in
support
of
this
project,
but
just
wanted
to
quickly
say
that,
in
terms
of
the
revenue
that
this
will
generate
for
the
club,
you
know
we've
been
around
for
over
80
years.
This
is
the
kind
of
Revenue
that
we
can
take
and
invest
in
the
club
and
make
sure
that
we
become
self-sustaining
and
can
be
around
for
another
80
160.
K
However
many
years
so
that
our
kids
and
grandkids
can
have
the
same
experience,
we've
had
with
the
club,
so
it's
their
dear
child
membership,
it's
near
to
our
heart
and
really
hoping
that
we
get
approval
here
today,
because
it'll
fundamentally
alter
the
course
of
the
club
for
us.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
your
consideration.
Thank.
B
You
Francis,
can
we
take
a
couple
more
and
then
we'll
proceed.
BA
They
neglected
to
mention
that
it's
also
against
the
Federal
Highway
beautification
Act,
but
anyway,
I
travel
daily
on
this
road,
so
I
am
also
an
Avada
by
traveling
by
to
and
from
every
single
day
and
it's
a
very
dangerous
Crossing,
there's
many
entrances
and
exit.
And
if
you
look
at
the
picture
that
they've
shown
you'll
see
that
it's
facing
the
North
North
root
in,
but
it's
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
road
which
will
really
distract
drivers,
often
take
their
eyes
off
the
road.
BA
Now
this
area
is
beginning
to
look
like
Times
Square,
not
world-class
Boston,
it's
digital
graffiti,
it's
ugly,
it's
annoying
and
it
distracts
driver.
There
is
no
rule
that
allows
a
digital
billboard
to
be
taken
down
because
they're
taking
down
static
Billboards.
This
is
just
fabricated
by
the
billboard
industry
to
get
what
they
want
and
in
fact,
if
those
old
Billboards
are
grandfathered
in
and
if
the
city
said
today,
they
want
them
down,
they
could
take
them
down.
There's
no
need
to
make
any
deal
please
now.
BA
The
previous
vote
by
the
just
give
me
I'm
the
only
one
here
speaking
so,
let
me
previous
vote
by
this
was
no
please
say
no
again.
Popularity
of
a
great
it's
a
great
Club
but
popularity
or
economic
need
does
not
create
a
hardship.
It
is
necessary
for
you
to
find
a
hardship
exist
before
you've
read
the
variance.
Please
deny
this
request.
AV
I
think
about
sharing
the
board
Scott
heckerman
from
24
Ross
and
Street
number
seven.
My
concern
is
with
the
light
pollution
and
really
wanting
to
see
more
specifics
about
their
mediation
efforts.
I
know,
I
talked
to
Peter.
He
was
very
helpful
about
the
idea
of
planting
some
trees,
as
you
can
see,
I'm
I'm
on
Rawson,
Street
and
I
look
downwards
at
the
billboard,
and
my
concern
is
if,
if
they're
planting,
baby
seedlings
even
six
feet
tall
trees,
you
can
see
from
I
sent
an
email
to
the
zoning
board
public
import
input.
AV
So
if
you
have
my
email
from
the
10th
of
January
for
the
last
hearing,
I
looked
down
from
the
fourth
floor
at
this
billboard
and
I
can
speak
very
clearly.
The
area
where
the
billboard
will
be
placed
and
unless
these
planted
trees
are
level
with
the
third
story
of
the
buildings
in
front
of
it,
they're
not
going
to
do
anything
to
block
my
direct
view.
BO
Thank
you
Madam
chairman.
Yes,
there
were
other
slides
in
in
the
presentation
that
was
up,
and
one
of
them
shows
the
Landscaping,
where
we've
committed
to
planting
10
foot
tall,
green
giant
arborvitaes
along
the
entire
fence
area,
where
I
had
spoken
to
Mr
hefferman
about
so
that
can
be
part
of
it.
I
mean
we.
We
intend
to
do
that
just
as
a
buffer
just
from
noise,
sound
and
and
air
pollution.
BO
B
Okay
may
I
have
a
motion.
N
B
As
I
forget
noted,
their
their
recommendations
for
I
think
any
billboards,
denial,
yeah
I'm,
not
trying
to
billboard
in
this
location
right
and
inappropriate,
use,
forbidden
and
inappropriate.

You
good
afternoon,
Madam
chairs,
my
name
is
Lee
Goodman
1705,
Columbus,

Boston.
AG
BP
BP
They
essentially
raise
their
family.
There
myself
and
my
two
sisters,
we've
now
moved
out,
so
they
want
to
take
their
unit
and
divide
it
into
two
units
which
would
make
the
existing
two
family
into
a
three
family.
If
you
go
to
slide
seven,
you
should
be
able
to
see
essentially
what
the
proposal
is:
we're
not
changing
anything
to
the
footprint.
It's
just
making
one
unit
a
basement,
first
floor
unit
and
the
other
one
a
first
floor.
Second
floor
unit.
BP
So
again
you
know
it's
just
two,
two
of
them
living
in
a
in
a
three-bedroom
four-bedroom
condo.
Today,
it's
too
big.
So
they
want
to
make
it
into
two.
We
have
existing
non-conforming
variances
because
of
the
two
buildings
on
the
same
lot,
but
we're
not
changing
anything
to
the
footprint.
J
F
BP
About
eight
foot
ten,
my
dad
had
a
wood
shop
down
there
in
the
you
know
in
my
80s
90s,
so
it
was
always
intended
to
become
a
unit
in
the
future.
It's
in
the
condo
docks
actually
that
they
are
allowed
to
do
this
work,
so
this
was
planned
as
early
as
like
1985,
believe
it
or
not,
and.
BP
Franklin
so
there's
a
sync
Point
through
the
stairway.
You
can
see
it
top
left,
but.
BP
BP
Only
the
two
bedrooms
there's
also
a
bedroom
as
well
as
a
kitchen.
That's
at
the
first
floor.
So
it's
two
additional
bedrooms
below
grade.

Quiet
that
one
down
so
I
can
speak
to
you.
Okay,
fine,
you'll,
apologize.
AD
Thank
you
for
your
Indulgence
I
know.
It's
been
a
long
day
for
all
of
you
that
Joseph

greetings
to
Madam

Once
again,
this
is
a
project
which
the
applicant
has
been
wanting
to
to
erect
a
two
townhouses
on
five
to
seven
Perkins
Street
and
combining
a
lot
at
nine
Perkins
Street
as
well,
combining
four
Lots
in
order
to
put
two
townhouses
on
here,
principally
you
know,
the
applicant
intends
to
be
building
a
townhouse
for
her
son
and
has
had
the
community
support,
which
I'm
sure
that
mayors
of
the
neighbor's
services
will
speak
to,
but
I
wanted
to
have
the
architect
Alan
Chris,
to
be
to
present
to
you
the
project
as
we
are
proposing
you
so
Alan.
AD
If
you
could
go
ahead,
has
Alan
been
placed
into
a
presenter.
S
AD
BS
Hi:
okay,
hi:
my
name
is
Alan
Chris
and
I'm,
the
architect
for
five
to
seven
Perkins
Avenue,
five
to
seven
Perkins
Avenue,
sits
on
the
corner
of
Perkins,
Avenue
and
River
streets
in
Hyde
Park.
If
we
could
go
to
slide
number
seven,
the
site
plan.
BS
Yep
the
two
new
units
that
we're
proposing
occupy
4
664
square
feet
of
the
8168
square
foot
site.
This
results
in
Far
of
0.57,
which
slightly
exceeds
the
0.50
requirement
for
the
2f
5000
Zone.
The
goal
of
the
project
was
to
knit
together
the
streetscapes
of
both
Perkins
Ave
and
River
Street,
with
two
four
bedroom:
two
and
a
half
baths
semi-attached
units
that
took
their
design
cues
from
the
adjacent
structures
of
the
neighborhood.
BS
The
next
slide
is
okay,
the
plans
here.
It's
a
two-story
semi-attached
units,
each
with
their
own
garage
The,
Living
Spaces,
are
an
open
plan.
Arrangement
the
first
floor.
Each
has
a
covered
porch
at
the
entry
and
ample
white
on
three
sides.
If
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
the
second
floor
plan,
we
have
the
four
bedrooms,
the
stair
here
and
then
the
two
bathrooms.
So
it's
a
fairly
simple
arrangement
with
a
party
wall
between
the
two
units
so
to
if
we
could
go
back
to
slide
I'm
sorry.
BS
There
we
go:
oh
nope
I,
the
one
with
the
pictures
there.
Okay,
the
intent
of
the
design
is
to
create
aesthetic
continuity
with
the
adjacent
structure.
The
use
of
gable
roofs
and
clobber
clotting
is
prevalent
in
the
area
and
the
design
seeks
to
create
aesthetic
continuity
in
the
area
through
its
material
palette
and
facade
articulation,
which
a
corporate
incorporates
red
clobber
clotting.
That
relates
to
the
color
palette
of
the
existing
9
Perkins
Avenue
house,
while
utilizing
red
board
and
batten
plotting
at
the
Devil
groups
for
each
house.
BS
Keep
going
they
they're
that
one!
Let's
see
so
here
you
can
see
the
street
elevation
where
we
have
the
clobbered
clotting
below
here
and
then
the
double
gables
on
each
house
here
with
Gordon
Batten
cladding.
That
is
evoking
the
articulation
of
the
existing
adjacent
nine
Perkins
Avenue
home.
BS
The
pro
project
uses
casement
windows
to
provide
connection
to
the
outdoor
spaces
and
maximize
the
amount
of
light
in
each
space
and
zinc
clotting
at
the
roof.
Well,
the
base
provides
some
material
variation
and
texture
on
each
facade.
BS
BT
BS
We
go
okay
project
seeks
to
add
to
an
active
invade
streetscape
in
the
area
by
aligning
the
facades
parallel
to
each
Street,
while
providing
large
entry
porches
for
each
unit,
as
well
as
jogs
and
the
massing
and
projecting
bays
at
each
house
to
ensure
that
the
scale
both
units
resonates
with
the
scale
of
the
adjacent
houses.
BS
The
garages
have
been
recessed
a
few
feet
from
the
main
mass
of
each
house
in
our
cloud
in
a
muted
grade
board
and
bottom
to
ensure
that
the
houses
and
their
associate
entry
porches
read
as
the
primary
elements
to
find
the
streetscape.
We
chose
not
to
meet
the
40-foot
rear
setback
for
the
site,
because
doing
so
would
eliminate
almost
the
entire
buildable
footprint
for
the
property.
We
thought
it
was
critical
to
provide
a
continuous
streetscape
at
this
corner.
BS
B
Okay
hearing
none
may
I
take
public
testimony.
BU
All
the
abutters
that
were
present
had
all
positive
things
to
say
about
the
applicants
and
the
project
they've
been
longtime
residents
and
very
active
in
the
community,
so
everyone
at
the
abutters
meeting
was
in
support.
They
also
reached
out
to
the
factory
Hill
neighborhood
association.
There
was
no
concern
there,
so
at
this
time
we
wish
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.

please,
yes
hi!
This
is
Chris
tomatos,
it's
an
existing
building
that
we
had
come
before
the
board
I
believe
it
was
back
in
2016
to
legalize
the
existing
restaurant.
Now,
that's
where
I
advocated,
as
well
as
another
retail,
store
the
two
apartments
above
it.
So
we
had
to
legalize
the
change
of
autopsy.
We
went
through
a
community
process
with
Miss
Santana
and
then
as
well.
We
came
to
Mr
Kujo.
We
have
another
meeting
with
him
as
well,
where
we
received
community
support
and
went
over
the
plans
and
the
proposal.
AM
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chairs
with
the
mayor's
office
services
and
the
veterans
meeting
was
held
and
we
met
with
the
local
Civics,
where
they
provided
another
a.
J
AM
Of
support
from
the
members
of
interval,
Normandy
residence,
Association
and
along
with
project
right
as
well,
they
met
with
the
applicants
back
in
2016
and
submitted
a
lot
of
support
in
2017.
So
this
project
has
gone
on
prior
to
me
stepping
into
this
role,

there
is
overall
support,

our
attorney
as
noted.

While
this
is
one
project
we're
covering
three
companion
Parcels
it
will.
This
project
will
replace
a
vacant
parking
lot
along
Huntington
Avenue
in
Mission
Hill,
with
a
contextually
designed
112
unit,
building
containing
57,
affordable
rental
units
55,
affordable
and
market
rate
home
ownership
units,
the
2
900
square
feet
of
retail
space.
74
percent
of
the
units
will
be
affordable
to
incomes
between
30
and
120
area,
median
income
below
ground.
There
will
be
20
parking
spaces
and
the
bpda
required
interior
Park
bike
parking.
BX
As
you
can
see
from
this
slide,
it's
adjacent
Thai
employment,
centers
and
transit
in
front
of
the
green.
The
green
line,
T
Station
and
immediately
adjacent
to
the
LMA
and
the
Roxbury
tenants
have
Harvard
a
non-profit
sponsor
of
this
project
and
owner
of
many
of
the
adjacent
Parcels
residents.
Living
here
will
have
access
to
the
numerous
playgrounds
and
Parks
maintained
by
the
Roxbury
tenants
of
Harvard,
and
they
will
have
access
to
the
Roxbury
tenants
of
Harvard
Community
Center,
which
features
a
full-size
basketball
court,
fitness
center
dance
studio
and
youth
Lounge.
BX
The
building
will
be
built
to
passive
house
standards,
was
approved
by
the
Boston
Civic
design.
Commission,
the
bpda
board
has
undergone
an
extensive
Community
input
process
as
part
of
article
80..
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide
before
handing
it
off
to
the
design
team,
I
just
want
to
show
you
the
parcels
and
how
they're
getting
put
together.
BX
It
cuts
across
a
3F
2000
in
the
rear
and
neighborhood
shopping
in
the
front,
once
combined
it'll
be
about
14
910
square
feet,
and
you
can
see
that
we
are
taking
the
rear
lot
of
26
and
28
Saint
Albans
highlighted
in
red,
and
we
are
combining
it
with
the
parcel
that
is
in
the
front
along
Huntington
Avenue,
to
create
one
parcel
that
will
support
this
project.
The
Roxbury
tenants
of
Harvard
owns
all
three
of
these
Parcels.
Currently
26
and
28
Saint
Albans
are
multi-family
housing
with
two
units.
BX
Each
and
the
buildings
on
those
Parcels
will
remain
unchanged
as
part
of
this
project
and
ultimately,
we
are
just
going
to
be
transferring
it
simultaneously.
As
we
move
this
project
forward,
we
are
seeking
on
26
and
28
Saint
Albans
we're
seeking
three
variances
for
28,
Saint,
Albans
and
four
for
2016
Albans,
and
then
we're
seeking
five
variances,
as
noted
for
773
to
775
Huntington.
But
those
are
as
part
of
the
record.
We
comply
with
all
other
zoning
variants.
BX
Zoning
requirements
and
I'll
hand
it
off
to
Aaron
Hodges
for
a
quick
presentation
just
about
the
building.
BY
BY
BY
This
is
an
illustrative
plan
showing
us
creating
new
sidewalks,
preserving
existing
trees,
adding
new
pedestrian
connection
to
the
Northwest
portion
of
the
rth
campus
and
creating
significant
amount
of
community
commercial
space,
as
well
as
a
entrance
to
the
residential
portion
of
the
project.
That's
up
above
next
page,
we
are
showing,
in
addition
to
the
Huntington
Street
Frontage
public
realm
Improvement,
we're
also
proposing
a
pedestrian
bump
out
of
the
Fenwood
and
Huntington
corner
and
adding
blue
bikes
to
further
improve
pedestrian
safety
and
Transit
friendliness.
BY
The
building
itself.
On
the
next
page,
we
are
showing
a
few
renderings
of
the
building
as
a
updated
design
working
with
the
community
working
with
the
PDA
design
staff
and
the
bcdc
to
push
the
height
of
the
building
back
from
Huntington
Ave,
while
filling
in
a
missing
tooth
on
the
band
of
Huntington
Ave,
where
it's
currently
used
as
a
parking
surface
parking
lot.
BY
So,
with
the
building
pushed
back,
the
three-story
Podium
is
consistent
with
the
existing
brick
facade
up
and
down
the
the
street
and
with
our
facade,
if
you
go
to
the
next
page,
majority
of
the
facade
is
also
colliding.
This
very
finely
detailed
brick
consistent
with
the
compact
material,
that's
used
in
the
neighboring
building
in
Huntington
Avenue
Beyond.
BY
So
with
that,
we
just
want
to
end
on
the
program
of
the
project.
It's
a
breakdown
on
the
last
page,
again
we're
providing
112
112
new
homes,
55
of
those
will
be
condo.
57
will
be
rental
with
a
high
percentage
of
affordable.
The

Okay,
well,
you
think
on
that,
let's
take
public
testimony.
BZ
Hello
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Maggie
van
Square
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
These
proposals
were
covered
by
the
article
80
process
for
775
Huntington
Ave,
the
Roxbury
attendance
of
Harvard
Community
was
consulted
throughout
the
process
and
our
office
is
unaware
of
any
concerns
at
this
time.

Second,
okay,
Mr

okay,
the

votes,
yes,
motion
carries
I,
know
it's
been
a
long
day,
but
for
for
the
sake

I'm,
going
to
suggest
a

it
could

Q

AE

BS
AY
AM
AY
Afternoon
attorney
Joe
Hanley,
McDermott
quilty
and
Melbourne
28th
State
Street
in
Boston.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
here,
to
introduce
you
to
our
team
and
give
you
a
very
brief
overview
and
then
have
my
client
go
through
the
presentation
very
quickly.
Okay,
I
am
here
with
Mario
signori
who's,
the
principal
of
green
line,
craft
cannabis,
who
is
the
developer
and
proponent
of
this
new
project?
AY
Also
with
me,
is
Michael
Starr,
who
is
the
project
architect
from
TWR
partners
and
Joseph
Carter
from
winlocker
group
who
worked
on
the
security
plan,
which
you'll
see
just
briefly
to
give
you
some
background
here.
So
this
is
one
of
the
first
ground
up
cannabis
production
and
cultivation
facilities
in
the
city
of
Boston.
It
is
not
a
retail
proposal.
AY
This
is
for
manufacturing
production
cultivation
use
approximately
forty,
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
and
eighty
two
square
feet
in
a
new
building
that
ranges
in
height
between
58
and
64
feet,
which
is
under
the
allowable
zoning
height
with
24
parking
spaces.
This
project,
due
to
its
scale
for
ground
up
new
construction,
went
through
the
bpda's
article
80
small
project
review
process,
where
we
had
scoping
of
its
design
and
its
appropriateness
as
well
as
mitigation
with
respect
to
the
project
itself,
approved
by
the
bpda
board
in
September
of
2022.
AY
The
city
also
issued
a
HCA
agreement
under
the
Cannabis
regulations
in
2018,
and
this
applicant
was
before
the
zoning
Board
in
2009
and
approved
for
this
conditional
use,
but
would
be
it.
What
was
then
proposed
to
be
a
smaller
structure?
They
went.
We
then
went
back
through
the
process
and
what
is
before
you
today
is
the
current
proposal.
AY
We
are
in
the
New
Market
NDA
Zone,
which
restricts
the
use
as
conditional
again
limited
to
manufacturing
in
production,
and
we
are
complying
with
all
of
its
dimensional
controls.
We
needed
a
minor
relief
for
the
existing
building
alignment,
which
was
processed
through
the
articulating
process
and
for
the
parking
which
is
appropriate.
AY
Considering
this
Transit
location
and
the
various
programming
that
you'll
hear
in
the
presentation,
final
thing,
I
will
say
is
we
have
also
in
support
of
this
use,
worked
very
closely
with
through
the
process
with
winlocker
with
the
community
and
the
bpda
to
have
a
very
refined
security
plan
and
protocol
and
operations.
With
that,
I'd
like
to
ask
Mario
to
take
you
through
the
presentation
very
quickly,
Miriam.
BQ
Us
back
absolutely
get
out
here,
members
of
board.
We
go
to
slide
three,
please
great
I'm,
already
asking
you're
the
developer.
I
will
quickly
through
this.
This
is
an
aerial
view
of
the
lot
and
discussion.
As
you
can
see,
it
is
an
industrial
area
with
parking
lots,
industrial
recycling,
Waste,
Management
commercial
development
to
the
West
in
the.
BQ
The
lot's
currently
being
used
for
storage
construction
equipment-
it's
not
contributing
to
the
neighborhood
in
any
way
at
this
time.
Developing
this
lot
with
our
project
will
create
a
beacon
for
Boston
to
enter
the
Cannabis
industry
instead
of
jobs
and
opportunities,
only
open
up
people
that
live
hours
away
or
that
have
cars.
We're
bringing
the
opportunity
right
to
Boston
developing
this
site
will
create
jobs,
opportunity
and
security.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
pass
the
presentation
over
to
Michael
Starr
of
TWR
architecture.
CB
Thank
you
Mario.
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
we'll
look
at
the
site
plan
and
the
first
floor
plan.
As
you
can
see,
we
pulled
the
building
back
from
the
property
line.
That's
dashed
there
along
Hampton
and
Norfolk,
to
create
a
landscape
buffer
and
sidewalk
for
Community
connectivity.
We've
provided
spaces
for
bike
parking
near
the
main
entrance.
We
have
landscaping
and
trees
along
both
Hampton
and
Norfolk
Street
there.
CB
In
addition
to
the
24
covered
parking
spots
that
you
could
see
on
the
bottom
side
of
the
plan
there
and
on
the
right
side,
we
have
shipping
and
receiving
with
bay
doors
opening
towards
Redding
Street
and
where
we
can
back
in
a
40-foot
truck
for
deliveries
and
shipments
and
still
have
the
ability
to
keep
it
out
of
traffic,
so
will
be
no
issues
along
Reading
Street
there
for
deliveries
and
shipments
next
slide,
please
second
floor
plan.
That's
where
all
the
cultivation
spaces
exist
next
slide,
please!
CB
So,
on
the
top
level
we
have
administrative
spaces,
production
spaces
and
a
training
room
on
the
right
side.
We
have
placed
the
rooftop
mechanical
equipment
in
an
area.
That's
shielded
from
all
sides
of
the
streets
so
that
they're
completely
invisible
from
the
street
and
also
will
contain
the
noise
on
that
side
of
the
building
as
well.
CB
Next
slide,
please
building
elevations
show
kind
of
a
modern
industrial
style
of
the
mixture
of
colors
textures
and
materials.
We
added
glazing
in
every
practical
location
to
maximize
the
visual
transparency
of
the
building
from
the
street
and
enhance
the
neighborhood
aesthetic
sun
shades
over
all
the
windows.
Add
depth
and
reduce
heat
cane
heat
gain
and
interior
glare
next
slide.
Please
so

from
Hampton
Street
next
slide,
and
this
is
a
view
from
the
same
location
showing
the
north
side
of
the
building.
CB
Next
slide,
please
in
the
opposite
side
of
Hampton,
as
it
exists
now
next
slide
and
as
would
be
constructed
there,
you
can
see
sunshades
the
glazing,
that's
added
contrasting
materials
and
textures
and
the
trees
that
have
been
added
to
the
landscape
buffer
next
slide.
Please
view
from
Norfolk
Street
as
it
exists
now
next
slide
and
view
with
the
building
in
place.
BQ
Great,
thank
you
very
much.
It's
not
really
important
for
us
to
have
employees
from
our
community,
but
local
employees
will
do
what
our
company
is
all
about,
and
to
do
that
we
need
them
to
have
easy
access
to
work
without
needing
to
own
the
car.
We
also
plan
to
participate
with
our
employees
on
best
practices,
public
transportation,
to
and
from
work
due
to
our
central
location.
This
will
include
incentives
to
cyclists
and
people
who
use
public
transportation
next
slide,
please.
BQ
BQ
Besides
working
with
CMT
from
the
day,
we
break
ground
to
hire
people
from
the
community
to
help
build
this
facility,
we'll
be
creating
50
plus
construction
jobs.
We
have
a
commitment
to
hiring
preferences
towards
people's
colors
from
the
local
community,
we'll
work
with
training
programs
like
cultivate,
Ed
and
Big
Hope
project
for
training
and
expungement
programs,
we'll
also.
CA
BQ
Job
fairs:
advertising
local
community
papers,
working
with
local
colleges,
trade
schools,
universities
and
working
with
everyone.
We
can
to
make
our
search
for
divorce,
Workforce,
prolific,
we'll
work
with
New
Market,
business
improvement,
district
for
additional
area,
cleanups
needle
patrols
and
security,
and
a
lot
of
these
jobs
I'm
talking
about
are
going
to
be
available
to
people
with
no
prior
cannabis.
Experience
will
create
transferable
jobs,
available
wages.
In
addition
to
this,
we've
identified
black
service
contractors
for
our
skill,
work,
painting,
Landscaping
pest
control
and
waste
removal.
Next
slide.
Please
sorry!
BQ
If
I'm
going
too
fast,
at
least
the
time
for
questions
at
the
end,
I
just
know
everyone's
really
tired,

This
is
a
diagram
just
showing
a
little
bit
of
our
surveillance
and
security
measures,
including
camera
placement,
secure
door
access
and
exterior
monitoring.
Our
priority
is
in
security
and
community
and
we
believe
we've
exceeded
that
next
slide.
Please
and
I'd
like
to
pass
it
back
to
Joe.
Thank
you
great.
AY
Thank
you,
Mario
and,
just
to
conclude,
a
zoning
that
is
required
minimal.
As
you'll
see,
we
are
required.
We
are
complying
with
all
of
the
dimensional
constraints
under
the
building
kite.
Under
the
far
within
the
setbacks,
we
do
need
relief
for
the
parking
requirement,
which
is
supported
by
the
slides
and
the
transit
oriented,
locate
the
fact
that
we're
within
four
to
six
minute
walk
of
nine
bus
lines
and
three
quarters
of
a
mile,
the
mbta's
new
market
station
and
how
the
project
has
been
programmed
and
operated.
AY
Otherwise,
the
code
would
require
96
bases,
which
is
someone
outdated
and
unnecessary,
with
respect
to
the
use,
conditional
use
again
approved
button
board
back
in
about
2019,
but
also
in
support
of
the
specific
request,
consistent
with
the
nda's
purpose
for
job
creation
in
the
new
market
sub-district,
and
also
supported
by
the
very
proper
details
and
developed
security
plans
and
operations.
That
is
the
result
of
this
extensive
process
through
the
article
80
process
and,
finally,
the
existing
building
alignment.
AY
N
G
BQ
You
have
everything,
sir.
There
will
be
hybrid
jobs,
remote
marketing,
marketing.
There
will
be
people
who
come
to
the
site
every
day,
seven
days
a
week,
but
if
there's
a
combination
of
cultivation,
manufacturing,
marketing,
marketing,
wholesaling
jobs,
yes,
bank
and.
J

Thank
you
and
excuse
me
just
to
note
that

do
have
letters
of
support
from

you've
gotten

F
BQ
So
far,
at
this
time,
I've
been
involved
with
several
of
the
organizations
but
on
on
July
and
wanted
to
introduce,
though,
but
the
actual
benefits
from
Greenline
will
go
to
the
community
groups
that
we're
talking
about
once
we
become
operational,
we
start
generating
Revenue,
but
for
the
past
four
years,
sorry,
okay,.
A
F
AY
What
so,
there
are
two
sets
of
contributions
here,
one
we
are
governed
and
restricted
by
what
we
can
do:
Under
the
HCA,
the
host
Community
agreement
with
the

This

went
through
the

community
process,
so
our

didn't
facilitate
it,

there
was
overall
community
support
and
there
were
no
no

brought
to

The
proposal
before
you
today
seeks
to
improve
the
pre-existing
structure
that
you
see
here,
which
consisted
of
two
units
and
five
bedrooms
and
a
height
of
two
stories
or
26
feet
and
three
inches.
The
improvements
include
a
third
floor
addition
which
will
result
in
a
structure
consisting
of
two
units:
six
bedrooms
and
a
height
of
three
stories
or
36
feet
in
one
inch.

Our
request
for
Relief
include
three
instances
under

unique
roof
structure,
restriction,
section
6829,
which
require
conditional
approval
for
any
proposal
that
alters
an
existing
roof
line.
The
two
remaining
requests
for
Relief
under
article
68
Section
8,
for
open
space
and
rear
yard
are
both
existing
non-conformities.
CD
We
would
also
like
to
note
here
that
we
we
are
height
and
far
compliant
and
while
we
do
not
require
release
for
extending
living
space
into
the
basement
by
way
of
bedrooms,
we
are
cognizant
of
the
sensitivities
around
them
that
this
board
has
had,
and
therefore
we
have
ensured.
We've
worked
hard
to
ensure
that
the
proposal
remains
consistent
with
the
bpda
recommendation
and
we
have
designed
the
bedrooms
to
comply
with
Massachusetts
building
code.

Each
bedroom
will
have

eight
foot
sailings
and

spread
across
that
have
Sills
no
more
than
44

last
for

will
note
that
we
submitted
a

of

from

We
also

voted
to
oppose
this
proposal,

they
do
with

Yes,
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Luanne
O'connor,
president
of
the
city,
Point
neighborhood
association.
I,
do
want
to
go
on
record,
stating
that
City
Point
does
not
oppose
all
roof
decks.
We
oppose
roof
decks
that
do
not
fit
into
the
neighborhood.
So
with
that
the
city
Point
neighborhood
association
had
the
proponent
come
in,
he
presented
well.
I
do
want
to
give
credit
that
he
did
scale
back
the
roof
deck
it's
being
referred
to
as
a
porch.
It's
not
a
porch.
It's
on
the
roof.
BH
It's
a
roof,
deck
and
I
would
have
rather
had
seen
the
proponent
come
back
to
put
on
a
full
third
story,
edition
versus
a
bedroom
with
a
bathroom
and
this
particular
roof
deck.
Unfortunately,
it
appears
that
can't
happen
because
there
are
windows
in
the
direct
building
beside
it,
which
is
about
12

Good
afternoon
Madam

I'm

in

representing
our
client,
the
Asian
Community
Development
Corporation,
which
is
the
designated
developer
of
this
100,
affordable
housing
project
on
land
owned
by
the
bpda
in
Chinatown,
I'm
joined
by
Peter,
munkenbeck
or
AC
DC
and
Aaron
Hodges
from
stantec.
The
projects
architect
I'll,
give
just
a
brief
introduction
and
then
turn
it
over
to
Aaron.
BJ
BJ
I
missed
the
address
that
you're
asking
about
4963
Watson
Street.
Yes,
it's
it's
a
collection
of
parcels
with
a
bunch
of
different
addresses.
It's
also
known
as
parcel
R1
within
the
yeah.
B
BJ
That
that's
right,
yeah!
It's
a
collection
of
street,
addresses.
BJ
So
parcel
R1
is
currently
a
surface
parking
lot
owned
by
the
dpda.
It's
in
the
subject
of
a
community
planning
process
for
several
years,
which
identified
the
site
for
affordable
housing.
The
bpda
issued
a
request
for
proposals
in
2021.
BJ
Ac
DC
was
designated
as
the
developer
by
the
bpda
board
in
April
of
2022..
The
project
involves
the
creation
of
110
residential
units
expected
to
be
a
mix
of
rental
units
and
for
sale.
Condominiums
100
of
the
units
will
be
affordable.
BJ
BJ
There
is
no
on-site
parking
in
connection
with
the
project.
It
was
approved
by
the
bpda
under
a
large
project
review
in
December,
so
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
mention
the
items
of
zoning
relief,
because
there
are
a
couple
of
wrinkles.
We
require
a
building,
a
variance
for
Building
height.
BJ
The
project
was
cited
for
three
other
items
of
zoning
relief
that
it
will
not
need
when
article
80
is
complete,
but
ISC
cited
the
project
for
them.
Nonetheless,
one
is
far
underlying
zoning
has
a
maximum
far
of
six,
but
that's
increased
to
eight
for
projects
that
go
through
article
80
review,
which
this
will
since
we're
not
quite
out
the
other
end
of
article
80.
We
were
cited
for
an
far
violation,
but
we'll
be
under
the
far
of
eight.
BJ
BJ
Isd
cited
us
for
that
violation
because
I
guess
there's
not
yet
an
affordable
housing
restriction
on
the
property,
but
there
will
be
by
the
time
the
project
is
developed
and
then
lastly,
the
code
says
that
loading
is
set
during
large
project
review
again,
not
quite
done
with
college
project
review
because
we're
not
at
construction
drawings.
Yet,
but
we
were
cited
for
loading.
There
are
no
off-street
voting
base.
Loading
will
be
on
the
street
off
of
Tyler
Street.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
to
Aaron
for
a
quick
architectural
presentation.

Thank
you
Peter
on
this

This
is
a
quick
overview
of
this

We
are
riding
the
heart
of
the
Chinatown
neighborhood,
and
the
buildings
around
us
is
in
a
existing
dance,
Urban
neighborhood
and
on
the
the
building
masking
itself,
it's
a
12-story
building,
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
page,
it
shows
the
the
ground
floor.
BY
The
lower
portion
of
the
building
is
the
two-story
Podium
and
the
south
side
of
that
Podium
is
going
to
be
housing.
The
much
anticipated
BPL
Chinatown
branch
and
the
north
portion
of
the
podium
is
going
to
be
the
residential
lobby
as
well
as
Building
Services,
the
about
being
75
Milan,
Street
Building
is
the
office
building,
and
the
residential
upper
portion
of
the
massing
is
step
back
significantly
from
the
property
line
to
create
a
buffer
to
that
building.
BY
So,
with
the
ground
floor,
what
you
can
see
is
there
is
again
a
significant
public
realm
improvement
with
planting
feeding
and
access
point
into
the
building
via
Ransom
stairs,
because
we
are
complying
with

On

the

process
for

took
place
over

A
letter

was
found
in
August
of

subsequently,
numerous
public
meetings,
where
I
held
by
the
BPD,
where
the
community
showed
their
Universal
support
for
this
project.
The
proposed
project
aims
to
bring
several
benefits
to
community,
including
affordable
housing
and
a
new
branch
and
a
new
Chinatown
branch
of
the
Boston

However,
there
were
some
concerns
raised
about
the
lack
Green

the
proposed
projects.
Some
committee
members
felt
that
green
spaces
are
essential

promoting

should
be
given

Nevertheless,
we're
over

The

wanted
to
approve

From

it

include
7000
1700
square
foot
for
the

on
the
first
two
floors
of
the
building.
This
is
based
on
the
neighborhood
has
been
anticipating
for
several
years.
This
development
will
also
maintain
the
socio-economic
diversity
in

by
expanding
the
number
of
affordable
units,
thereby
helping
Working,

CE

You

okay,
all
right

I
and
I
will
say
as

am
involved
with
the
Chinatown

that
a
branch
public
library
has
been
spoken
about
for
at

two
decades
so
more
than
a
few
years,
and
it's
been
difficult
to
find
a
home
for
it.
So

Hi

evening,

Boy
revert,
I
live
at
52
Metcalf

in
Medford,
Mass
I'm,
the
owner
of
RC
Works
LLC,
the
applicant
representative
of
the
owners
to
blublin,
plays
in
Charlestown.
This
request
is
for
variants
to
the
rear
yard.
Insufficient.
CF
The
intention
is
to
tear
down
the
existing
small
platforms,
there's
to
build
any
any
store.
A
new
decking
patio
and
fencing
the
deck
will
be
96
96
inches
by
150
inches
by
96.
The
deck
platform
made
out
of
composite
material
impression,
3D
wood
for
the
owner
used.
The
setback
requirement
for
Maya
particular
now
compliant
lot
of
record
is
four
feet.
CF
However,
I'm
requesting
a
variance
of
six
inches
to
the
array
of
the
property
to
permit
the
construction
of
a
foot
deck
that
we
will
leave
additional
60
inches
of
Separation
by
a
common
fence
in
the
common
shared
alley.
The
proposed
projects
involve
the
replacement
of
the
thing
of
all
sides
of
the
property
and
a
new
fence
access
door.

can
you
unnew

that's
his
daughter,
so
she
might
be
presenting
okay.
CG
Hi
I'm
standing
in
for
my
dad,
while
he's
actually
in
the
meeting
but
I,
don't
think
he
knows
how
to
use
zoom.
B
That's
okay.
Can
you
present
on
the
project.
CG
Yep
so
right
now
the
house
has
always
been
a
three
family
well
used
as
a
three
family,
but
we
actually
need
the
permit
to
make
it
officially
a
three
family.
B
M
CG
There's
no
work
that
needs
to
be
done.
The
house
has
been
in
the
family
for
years.
CG
So
right
now
we
are
selling
the
house,
but
we
need
that
permit
saying
it's
actually
a
free
family,
each
apartment
is
separate
and
they
everything
separate
in
each
place.
So
all
the
electrical
everything's
separated
already
so
there
wouldn't
be
any
work
being
done.
