Phantom
chairman
members
of
the
board,
we
put
the
project
on
hold
during
volvid
last
year
and
we
uploaded
all
the
information
in
april
of
this
year
and
then
we
didn't
realize
that
the
reviewer
we
had
sent
it
to
was
no
longer
with
the
city.
So
we
didn't
find
out
until
may
that
it
wasn't
being
reviewed.

The
approved
plans
depicted
19
garage
parking
spaces
since
that
time,
because
of
geotechnical
issues
that
just
surfaced,
there
has
to
be
a
modification
to
the
parking
plan
which
would
result
in
the
19
spaces
being
reduced
to
15
spaces.
But
someone
who
is
better
equipped
to
explain
the
geotechnical
reasons
for
this
request
is
nick
ruggieri
from
road.
A
architect
nick
is
here
today,
I'd
like
nick
just
to
briefly
testify
on
those
technical
issues.
M
N
You
george,
yes
nick
rigeri
from
roadie
architects
here,
like
george
manson,
the
essentially
subsequent
test
borings
were
done
on
site,
which
revealed
a
higher
than
expected
seasonal
water
table
that
required
us
to
make
modifications
to
the
depth
of
the
basement.
We
were
posing
the
basement
got
shallower
to
accommodate
a
high
water
table,
and
that
is
what
triggered
the
reduction
in
parking.

With
the
business
address
of
11
beacon

we
are
seeking
a
deferral,
hopefully
a
relatively
quick
turnaround.
There
were
some
last
minute
comments
that
came
into
the
mayor's
office
and
the
counselor's
office,
and
they
would
like
us

on

call
is
our
architect,
david

of
two
associates,
quincy
mass
and
my
colleague,
nancy
lowe.
The
reason
the
board
should
grant
our
request
is
because
a
lack
of
open
space
is
a
characteristic.
T
A
one

it's
a

It's
a
one

it's
not
being
created.
It
exists.
It's
been
in
existence
since
2000
at
least
2007.
When
my
client
bought
the
building,
it's
been
taxed
as
a
five-unit

by
the
city
since
at

1985..

There's

of
the

escape
goes
a
side
of
the
window
down
to
the

and
the

is

It's
supposed
to
have

Well,

of
history
on
this
one.
The
current
owner
purchased
this
property
back
in
2020
during
the
middle
of
the
pandemic,
from
the
kind
of
family
who
owned
that
property
for
81
years.
Prior
to
that,
so
it's
been
in
existence
for
quite
some
time.
I
don't
know
how
long
prior
to
the
81
years,
that
the
kind
of
family
wounded
that
was
in
existence,

that's
to
the
extent
that
I
have

Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
morency,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
west
broadway
in
south
boston.
Madam
chair
members,
I
represent
charles
mccarthy,
who
was
proposing
to
erect
a
four-story
three-family
dwelling
at
388
athens
street
in
south
boston,
which
is
within
an
mfr
multi-family
residential
zoning.
Sub
district
project.
Architect
is
tim.
Johnson
tim
is
also
joining
us
today.
The
lot
size
is
1859
square
feet,
which
is
not
atypical
of
residential
lot
sizes
in
this
neighborhood.
The
lot
is
currently
vacant.
M
The
ground
floor
would
consist
of
a
garage
with
two
tandem
parking
spaces:
an
entry,
foyer
trash
and
recycling
room
and
an
elevator
lobby.
Three
units
would
all
be
two
bedroom
units
of
1078
square
feet,
each
of
them
being
a
floor
through
unit
on
the
second
third
and
fourth
stories.
The
building
height
would
be
40
feet,
which
is
zoning
compliant.
The
afar
would
be
2.3,
whereas
the
mfr
district
allows
maximum
affair
of
2.0
originally
proposed.
Balconies
were
eliminated
during
community
process
and
there
is
no
roof
deck.

Good
morning
modern
national
members
of
the
world,
anna
caledon
from
councillor
flink's
office,
the
council
would
like
to
go
on
recording
support
based
on
feedback
from
neighbors
and
the
same
victims,
lower
end
neighborhood
association
who
reported
on
issues
and
that
the
proponents
work
on
a
number
of
good
faith
compromises
to
get
to
gain
the
support
of
their
daughters
and
neighbors.
It
is
our
understanding.
Y
These
revised
plans
include
that
the
roof,
deck
and
rear
decks
were
removed,
building
high
reduced
to
40
feet,
rear
setback
increased
at
over
floors
to
5
feet,
3
windows
minimized
for
privacy
concerns.
The
building,
fastly
has
been
shifted
in
the
right
side
and
left
side
jar
increased
by
three
and
a
half
feet.
Counselor
fling
would
like
to
offer
his
support
on
account
of
the
work
done
with
the
neighbors
to
address
concerns
and
quality
of
life
issues
such
as
noise
and
privacy.
Thank
you.

Can
you
please
do
make
sure
that
significant
design
review
on
this,
because
we've
seen
some
models
that
look
exactly
like
this,
for
example,
on
a
street
and
other
places
in
southie
that
you
know
look
like
they
could
use
some
improvement
as
they
mature
and
as
as
as
their
later

they
are

A
So
submissive,
mr
fields,
may
I
get
just
directly
to
the
point
and
it's
good
to
at
least
hear
you.
We
cannot
see
you,
but
I
guess
the
question
is
that
we,
as
the
board
have
approved
a
lot
of
projects
on
a
street,
and
I
I
need
to
get
an
understanding
if
we've
approved
them
without
parking,
and
you
are
now
meeting
that
park.
Helping
them
meet.
That
parking
need.
Is
that
what's
happening
here.
AD
Yes,
there's
been,
there's
been
several
parking
facilities
with
spaces
that
have
been
completely
eliminated
right
around
the
area.
This
is
beyond
the
larger
developments
of
the
larger
parking
areas
in
the
neighborhood.
This
is
replacing
parking
lots,
there's
a
triangular
run
on

there

8th

they've
all
been
eliminated
as
parking.
There's
construction
on
two
of
them
and
one
is
a

There
is

There
is

has
been

in
the
past.
Basically,
there's
some
vines,
there's
some
surface
vegetation
and
then
there's
artwork
on
the
black
fence.
The
artwork
recently
came

Thank

dupel

morgan

from
phase
3
real
estate
partners.
Madam
chair,
this
is
the
this
site.
Is
the
former
standard
rivet
factory,
building
it's
located
between
a
street
and
the
hall
road
on
a
dead-end
section
of
athens
street
that
has
been
a
long,
storied
industrial
corridor
that
was
changed
to
residential
mfr
two
years
ago.
AG
This
building
is
a
pre-existing,
approved
commercial
building
and
the
use
was
approved
with
an
expansion
by
this
board
in
2016
for
a
three-story
addition
onto
this
brick
and
beam
building.
My
client
cie
purchased
the
property
and
lowered
that
expansion
to
a
five-story
retail
and
office
building,
which
is
forty,
five
thousand
seven
hundred
square
feet.
So
it's
a
boutique
sized
office
and
retail
building.
The
proposal
is
due
to
the
pandemic,
as
well
as
the
unique
characteristics
of
the
property
site.
AG
It
is
to
now
occupy
and
activate
the
building
which
has
been
vacant
since
covet
19
is
completed.
The
project
to
its
core
and
shell
ciee
has
lost
70
percent
of
its
employment
base.
We
are
partnering
with
phase
3
residential
partners,
retail
partners
who
has
experience
in
lab
and
research,
and
so
the
proposal
is
not
to
expand
upon
the
structure,
but
merely
to
change
from
one
non-conforming
commercial
use
with
office
and
to
add
a
boutique,
limited
level
of
research,
r
d
and
prototype
manufacturing.
AG
The
chair
read
into
the
record
that
the
infrastructure
is
the
same.
I
will
say
one
notation
and
it
showed
on
the
plans.
We
have
a
mechanical
enclosure
on
the
rooftop,
which
I
will
note
is
wider
to
accommodate
the
change
of
use,
but
it's
also
no
higher
than
the
approved
lowered
height,
and
so
we
do
not
need
relief
for
that
in
the
restricted
roof
structure.
District.
AG
The
other
thing,
madam
chair
I'll
just
conclude
with
and
tell
you
about
the
zoning
we're
also
addressing
the
board's
input
with
respect
to
to
harbor
street
back
on
june
29th,
madam
chair,
you
had
observed
the
need
for
local
job
creation
and
opportunities,
especially
for
residents
that
don't
have
college
degrees.
This
project
will
initiate
the
first
of
its
kind
stem
program
in
south
austin
and
partnering,
with
south
boston
catholic
academy
in
the
south,
austin
neighborhood.
A
AG
A
A
So
what
I'd
like
to
understand
is
whether
this
is
speculative
or
if
there
is
a
proposed
tentative
place,
because
what
we're
seeing,
I
think,
all
over
the
city-
and
I
think,
including
in
in
our
suburbs
and
including
cambridge
and
somerville,
is
a
lot
of
speculative
space
where
there
is
no
specific
tenant
to
place.
So
can
you
respond?
But
let's
know
if
there's
a
specific
tenant
and
a
specific
type
of
use.
AG
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
sorry.
If
I
interrupted
you,
I
didn't
hear
you
speaking.
So.
If
you
look
at
page
12
of
the
proposal,
we
have
worked
pretty
extensively
with
the
elected
officials
in
the
community
to
tailor
the
use
the
operations
and
the
design
for
a
prospective
tenant
of
a
low
level
of
research,
like
others
who
have
come
before
us.
We
have
committed
to
no
higher
than
a
biosafety
level
of
two
which
in
many
cases,
is
akin
to
a
high
school
chemistry
lab.
AG
There
are
also
a
number
of
operation
measures
which
support
the
grant
of
the
variance
and
design
measures.
We
do
not
have
a
tenant
to
answer
your
crest
question
directly,
madam
chair,
but
we
are
working
with
phase
three
who
has
extensive
experience,
and
this
would
be
a
very
special
type
of
speculation,
very
different
than
the
ones
you've
seen
before.
This
is
a
very
small
boutique
type
of
building
that
would
preclude
any
type
of
major
invasive
research
levels.
AC

Good
morning,
madam
of
the
chair,
members
of
the
war
anna
calleron
from
councillor
fling's
office,
the
council
would
like
to
go
on
recording
support.
Please
know
following
approximately
20
life
sciences
proposal
in
district
council
agreement
call
for
appearing
on
this
issue
with
many
proposals
in
proximity
of
the
a
street
corridor
and
southwestern
wong
trump
hearing
discuss
public
safety
and
quality
of
life
concerns
in
terms
of
noise
and
mechanicals,
as
well
as
all
of
the
opportunities
in
life
sciences
and
esteem
for
our
workforce
and
students.
Y
We
acknowledge
there
is
opposition
to
the
project
in
order
to
try
to
get
good
fake
compromises
during
the
additional
community
process.
We
understand
the
proponent
has
made
some
changes
with
outstanding
concerns
about
placement
of
the
mechanicals
counselor
flynn,
respectfully
requests
that
the
proponents
continue
work
closely
with
their
mothers
and
neighbors
during
the
next
phases
of
the
project
to
address
quality
of
life
concerns
and
to
with
to
the
surrounding
south
boston.
AH
Adam
chair
members
of
the
board,
paul
sullivan,
will
be
up
to
the
council
out
live
michael
flaherty.
Article
68
went
through
an
extensive
community
process
and,
as
you
know,
the
council's
approach
has
been
consistent
and
not
supported
supporting
article
16
variances.
That
said,
this
proponent
is
seeking
a
change
of
use
that
is
consistent
with
development.
AH
That's
been
occurring
along
the
a
street
corridor
as
well
as
all
the
opportunities
and
life
sciences
and
stem
that
are
coming
online
during
the
community
process
alone
has
made
changes
in
response
to
the
abundance
concern
but
wasn't
able
to
address
placing
the
mechanicals
in
into
the
building
itself.
The
counselor
encourages
the
proponent
to
work
closely
with
the
abutters
and
surrounding
neighbors
during
each
phase
of
the
project
to
address
quality
of
life
concerns.
V
E
E
You
know
some
of
us
have
relied
on
article
68
and
zoning
maps
and
making
housing
choices.
You
know,
basically,
if
you
vote
in
favor
of
this.
What
you're,
essentially
telling
us
is
that
the
fact
that
article
68
doesn't
support
having
a
forbidden
use
as
a
change
of
use
in
the
way
that
the
proponent
wants
to
do
this,
or
that
the
neighborhood
is
very
clear
about
not
wanting
to
live
right
next
to
life
sciences
facilities.
A
A
U
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
james
gallagher,
I'm
an
attorney
at
davis,
mama
d,
augustine
business
address
of
one
boston,
place,
boston
mass.
I
represent
a
subset
of
unit
owners
at
445
condominium
at
45
west
3rd
street.
To
address
your
question,
madam
chair,
I
will
be
brief
and
add
only
a
new
things.
There
is
nothing
unique
about
this
parcel
from
a
zoning
perspective
that
justifies
the
requested
variances.
U
The
hardship
that
cie
and
the
proponent
have
put
forward
have
been
recognized
repeatedly
by
courts
as
not
sufficient
to
justify
zoning
relief
in
the
form
of
variances
financial
heart.
There
is
nothing
unique.
This
building,
as
mr
hanley
represented
to
the
board
as
a
forum
is
a
completed
building,
is
a
perfectly
good
building
that
is
adequate
for
its
intentions.
U
U
I
would
also
add
that
this
is
a
allowing
this
would
be
a
major
step
back
from
the
article
68
planning
that
has
been
so
pervasive
to
get
it
finally
approved
just
a
few
years
ago.
This
is
reverting
to
you,
know
the
80s
and
90s,
where
this
was
more
industrial
area.
This
is
a
now
residential
area.
The
entire
purpose
of
this
article
68
was
to
increase
the
residences,
not
change
the
use
back
to
industrial
air.
I
Please
hi
thank
you
kathy
lafferty,
lifelong
south
boston,
residence,
647,
east
7th
street,
although
I
am
not
an
immediate
correlation
to
the
building.
I
I've
lived
and
worked
at
south
boston,
my
entire
life,
and
I
think
that
I'm
in
support
of
this
project,
because
their
commitment
to
stem
programming
and
job
creation,
I
believe,
will
have
a
positive
impact
on
the
neighborhood
for
generations,
and
so
for
that
reason
I
am
supporting
this
project.
V
V
AJ
Jacob
west,
what
174
west
8th
street
and
I
have
a
brief
comment
in
support
of
this
in
support
of
this
project
as
both
a
community
member
and
a
southie
resident
and
a
member
of
the
of
the
biotech
community.
I
think
that
this
project
takes
a
huge
step
forward
in
providing
opportunities
for
high
level
high
skill,
employment
and
high
compensation
and
high
high
skill
employment
in
our
neighborhood.
AJ
Z
A
Okay,
so,
basically
in
a
position
we
heard
about
the
fact
this
is
now
a
residential
subdistrict,
where
these
research
lab
and
prototype
manufacturing
uses
are
forbidden.
It's
distance
from
residential
residential
uses,
the
the
hvac
system
and
the
noise
and
potential
impact,
and
the
fact
that
there
is
nothing
unique.
A
A
This
is
a
forbidden
use,
so
I
think
every
one
of
us
who
lives
in
a
residential
district
has
to
think
about
what
would
you
do?
What
would
you
say
if
a
researcher
and
a
manufacturing
lab
popped
up
a
budding
to
you,
you
know,
so
I
think
that's
the
that
that
is
the
bottom
line.
Question
that
everybody
needs
to
answer.

Following

this
is
a
change
of
auction
from
a
dance
studio
and
two
residential
units
to
a
general
office
and
two
residential
units.
The

article

AA
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
ryan,
spitz
adams
and
marantzy,
with
the
business
address
of
350
west
broadway,
south
boston-
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
to
propose
a
change
of
occupancy
from
a
dance
studio
into
residential
units
to
a
general
office
in
two
residential
units.
This
was
a
previous
project
that
was
approved
a
few
years
back
with
the
units
have
already
been
constructed
and
there
are
tenants
residing
in
the
two
buck
units.
AA
A
AA
Well,
the
rationale
for
the
general
office
is
going
to
be
used
just
as
a
professional
office
for
for
for
for
two
two
guys
to
actually
be
able
to
just
come
in
and
conduct
some
work
using
a
computer
previously
held
in
a
butters
meeting,
which
the
neighbors
who
did
show
up
were
in
support
of
this
project.
Nobody
voiced
any
sort
of
opposition.
They
actually
anticipated
that
there
will
be
less
traffic
consumption
because
the
dance
studio
was
bringing
a
ton
of
traffic
double
parking
to
the
actual
neighborhood.
AA
A
Because
I
think
we've
we
as
a
board
have
been
burned
a
couple
of
times
because
sometimes
things
come
in
for
a
general
office
and
then
they
go
into
swing
space
because
they've
been
approved
for
general
office,
which
then
has
a
different
kind
of
impact
on
the
neighborhood.
You
know.
So
we
need
to
understand
that
this
is
in
fact
for
regular,
regular
use
as
as
an
office
space.

This
is

austria.
Backing

insufficient
article

The
ratio
is
excessive.
B
AG
This
is
a
case
that
was
before
the
board
on
august
11
2020
last
year
we
received
input
from
the
bpda
in
the
community,
and
now
we've
addressed
that
the
site
is
an
existing
garage
building
in
the
multi-family
residential.
So
it's
a
non-conforming
structure
and
use
that
we're
seeking
to
change
to
a
residential
use.
AG
AG
Two
are
one
bedroom
pluses,
which
are
over
920
square
feet
and
the
other
two
are
three
bedroom
four
bath
units
that
are
over
1800
square
feet.
We
have
reduced
the
parking
to
six
spaces,
which
is
in
direct
response
to
the
bpda's
recommendation
back
in
august.
We
also
minimized
the
curb
cut,
which
mr
ehrlich
commented
on
in
the
vpda.
AG
AG
The
relief
that
is
necessary
is
for
the
floor
area
ratio.
What
is
required
is
two.
What
is
proposed
is
2.15
and
the
front
yard
requirement
of
five
and
we're
at
three
almost
three
and
a
half
and
the
rear
yard,
which
is
20.
The
existing
building
is
at
the
lot
line,
we're
building,
bringing
the
new
building
three
feet
off
the
rear
and
we
also
modified
the
rear
decks
to
bring
them
inside
as
terraces.
Each
unit,
in
addition
to
their
ample
size,
will
have
their
own
private
terrace
space.
And
that
concludes
our
presentation.

A

A
AC
Y

V
AK
A
V
AL
AM
Yes,
my
name
is
brian
slevin.
I
am
in
eight
douglas
as
well.
You
know
wanna
direct
butter.
I
I
just
think
from
a
parking
perspective.
I
understand
that
we
removed
the
second
curb
cut
here,
which
which
is
beneficial
to
you,
know
to
us
on
the
street.
I
would
like
to
say
that,
but,
however,
still
is
not
ample
amount
of
parking
off
street
parking
for
the
units
that
are
that
they're
planning
on
putting
in,
and
so
my
biggest
concerns
rely
on.
V
AE
You
yes,
rebecca
hostetler,
459,
east
8th
and
the
direct
a
butter
to
fix
douglas.
We
as
well
oppose
the
project
inconsistent
in
size
and
scale
with
the
rest
of
the
street.
This
would
be
the
only
four
family
rental
on
the
street
that
is
two
to
three
family
homes
and,
while
technically
a
height
variance
may
not
be
required
at
40
feet.
Nothing
else
on
the
street
is
that
high
our
home
is
actually
higher
in
grade
on
the
hill,
and
the
height
of
this
would
tower
even
over
hours.
AE
V
AN
AN
AG
Yeah,
yes
ma'am,
so
the.
If
you
look
at
the
site
plan,
the
existing
non-conforming
building
is
built
to
the
lot
line
and
what
we're
proposing
is
to
raise
that
obviously,
and
then
we're
coming
three
feet
off
the
property
line.
We
do
not
have
window
openings
with
respect
to
the
fire
concerns
and
then
there
is
a
in
the
second
page
of
the
presentation.
It
shows
you
the
changes
that
were
made,
I
will
say,
on
parking.
AG
That
was
something
that
this
board
asked
us
specifically
to
address
back
in
august,
as
well
as
the
bpda
that
now
recommends
approval,
and
I
I
misspoke.
We
had
eight
parking
spaces,
I'm
sorry
six
parking
spaces
before
and
we
have
four
parking
spaces
now
and
as
as
one
of
our
butters
noted
we're
under
the
height-
and
we
now
are
don't
need
a
variance
for
the
side
yard,
which
is
next
to
eight
douglas,
and
there
is
a
land
court
case
for
their
encroachment
on
our
property
at
both
douglas
street.
A
A
AG
Right,
yeah
so-
and
you
know,
as
you
pointed
out,
mfr
you
know
is,
is
an
allowed
use.
If
you
look
at
the
far
which
is
required
is
two
we're
2.15,
so
it's
really
the
minimum
relief
necessary
to
say
that
it's
out
of
scale
would
be.
You
know
incorrect
and
again,
you
know
it's
an
improvement
for
the
existing
condition
at
the
rear,
but
we're
also
able
now
to
comply
both
with
the
side
yards.
And
so,
if
you
put
this
in
context,
there
are
multi-family
residential
buildings
throughout
the
district.
AG

and
the
intention
with
this
approval
and
the
article
80
process
preceding
it
is
to
raise
the
existing

and
erect
a
new
building
to
accommodate
a
larger
retail

On
the
first
floor
with
some
retail
storage
in
the
basement
level
and
then
have
28

apartments
on
floors,
two

The
zoning
in

sub
district
is.

it's
a

square
economic
development
area,
specifically
the
height
requirement
through
the
process,
has
been
the
height
relief
rather
has
been
removed.
The
existing
height
for
this
area
is
55
feet
and
the
proposed
proposal
before
the
board
today
is
53
feet,
complying
with
our
height
restriction.
We
are
seeking
relief
for
floor
area
ratio.
AO
The
flow
area
ratio
in
this
subdistrict
is
2.0
and
the
proposal
as
advanced
is
3.5
with
the
combination
of
the
two
parcels.
Again
it
does
create
a
8700
approximate
square.
Foot
lot,
side
yard
does
comply,
front
yard
does
comply.
We
are
seeking
relief
for
rear
yard.
By
a
little
over
two
and
a
half
feet.
AO
With
the
parking
requirements
for
for
the
28
residential
units
is
26
parking
spaces
due
to
the
four
affordable
we
have
none
provided
and
through
the
community
process.
That
was
something
that
was
initially
proposed
and
then
eliminated.
The
commute.
The
proponents
for
the
project
preferred
the
larger
retail
use,
as
opposed
to
some
of
the
reduced
parking
to
accommodate
the
units.
We
do
have
an
increased
bike.
Storage
in
the
apartments
leases
will
include
a
t
pass
which
is
accessible
through
delhi
square.
AO
A
AO
A
I
have
is
that
I
was
at
another
community
meeting
and
there
was
a
presentation
or
representation
that
the
need
in
the
community
is
for
three
bedrooms
and
family
sized
units,
and
so
this
was
by
by
the
bpda
actually,
so
I'm
a
little
surprised
that
this
these
come
through,
as
you
know,
for
very
small
families
versus
mrs
families.
You
know
so
I
I
just
put
that
out
there.
How
are
the
plans?
Mr
candel.

go

A

meeting
was
held
on

in

they
address

that
butter
has
held

have
been
very,
very
good
with
making
sure
that
they
reach
back
out

we

this
address,
but
with
a
different
project.
So
let's
make
it
clear
that
that's
what
what
what
the
denial
means.
It
just
means
a
different
project,
but
you
can't
come
in
on

Good

madam
chair
members
of
the
board
denise
desantos
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
The
applicant
they've
worked
directly
with
the
butters
for
sometimes
and
the
association,
which
also
supports
their
proposal
outside
of
the
technicalities
that
you
guys
are
mentioning.
D
A
Okay,
so
you
guys
haven't
agreed
to
do
a
shared
driveway,
because
that
might
actually
be
to
both
your
benefits,
because
I
noticed
that
your
your
your
vehicle
is
up
on
your
grassy
area
there
to
the
photos,
but
it's
not
something
you
guys
talked
about.
Okay,
given
the
information
that
we
have
before
us
and
the
technical
opinion
from
the
btd.

Cars
on
the
site
that
each
collect
most
about
some
of
them
are
antiques,
some
of
one
of
them
that
makes
the
former
fire
car
fire
department
car
and
so
intends
to
move
some
of
the
cars
off
of
the
site
and
continue
collecting
these
cars
and
keeping
some
at
the
site
as
well.
But
many
of
the
cars
will
be
moving.
A
Okay
sounds
like
he
has
issues
about
being
a
good
neighbor,
so
you
might
want
to
coach
him
on
what
he
needs
to
do,
because
storage
of
vehicles
is
a
separate
use.
If
it's
just
storage,
because
I
know
I
know,
there's
a
group
of
people
here
in
roslindale
who
do
collect
cars
and
they
have
they
show
them
off
at
the
parade,
but
there's
got
to
be
a
plan
b
for
locating
of
those
of
those
those
vehicles
so
anyway,
given
that
information,
I
think
we've
gotten
everybody.
A
All
those
in
favor
any
opposed
motion
carries
so.
Mr,
mr,
mr
small,
please
make
sure
that
we
have
that.
Your
client
clearly
understands
that
that
we
are
very
concerned
about
that
unit,
big,
that
space
becoming
a
dwelling
unit
and
and
and
the
fact
that
he
needs
to
think
about
how
he
can
become
a
better
neighbor.

calling

eighty

morton
street:
this
is
the
change
of
october
salon
to
retail
cannabis
violations.
Article
60,
section
11,
retail
cannabis-
is
the
conditional
use
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
AF
AF
AF
Yes,
so
we
will
have
numerous
security
officers
in
inside
as
well
as
on
the
outside,
as
well
as
in
the
parking
area
to
constantly
sort
of
maintain
one.
The
the
parking
area
is
is
operating
efficiently
and
then,
as
well
as
making
sure
that
the
clients
are
coming
in
our
appropriate
age
when
they
scan
their
id
and
identification
and
that
the
flow
of
customers
is
working
well.
A
AF
But
we
think
that
we
should
be
able
to
easily
maintain
anywhere
between
10
to
20
customers
that
will
show
up
on
site
at
the
same
time,
because
we'll
have
enough
space
on
our
floor.
If
we
need
to
have
any
potential
cues
on
the
inside,
as
well
as
the
amount
of
parking
that
we
would
have
to
to
meet
these
these
customers,
and
we
will
have
the
ability
to
take
orders
online
and
as
well
as
just
do
simple.
Pickups.
A
AF
Yes,
so
we
have
we're
anticipating
anywhere
between
10
to
12
staff,
and
then
they
will
have
parking
within
the
main
parking
lot,
where
you'll
have
the
10
sorry
15
to
20
cars,
as
well
as
we're
very
close
in
proximity
to
the
mbta,
as
well
as
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
going
to
hire
from
within
the
area.
So,
hopefully
a
lot
of
our
potential
staff
will
be
able
to
walk
or
bike
to
the
facility.
AF
AF
Yeah,
so
there
will
be
an
area
right
there
where
people
will
be
able
to
sit
and
wait
if
they
can't
stand,
but
we
will
also
have
like
the
q
line
right
there
in
that
front
section
where
there's
like
there's
going
to
be
ropes,
that's
going
to
separate
people
in
that
front
part
right
there
before
they
reach
to
the
the
retail
cash
registers
over.
Where
you
see
where
it
says,
pos
area.
G
Yeah
hello,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
don't
take
people's
chairs
from
the
mary's,
also
neighborhood
services
on
the
mayor,
those
who,
like
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
The
applicant
has
gone
through
an
extensive
community
process
where
there
was
a
community
meeting
held
on
march
24
2021
on
via
webex
event,
which
was
attended
by
residents,
community
stakeholders
and
representatives
of
local
elected
offices.
The
applicant
has
also
received
a
number
of
letters
of
support
and
received
many
name
support.

AU

The
the
reclaiming
our
community,
the
rock
association,
is
also
going
through
a
slow
streets
program
to
change
the
direction
of
evans
street.
So
every
street
will
come
out
onto
morton
street.
You
will
not
be
able
to
pull
into
their
parking
lot
for
a
morton
street
they're
gonna
wind
up
going
their
customers
will
wind
up
going
actually
through
the
neighborhood
to
get
to
that
parking
lot.

Good
morning,
corey
I'm
at
65
greenfield
to
road
mattapan
support
of
this
project.
I
again
say
hello
to
my
good
friend,
barbara
krinshaw.
I
know
that
there
are
some
concerns
and
in
the
last
public
meeting
I
also
suggested,
although
I
am
in
support
of
this
project,
that
they
continue
the
dialogue
with
the
direct
neighbors,
so
that
issues
that
I
think
are
resolvable
can
be
resolved
and
this
business
can
go
forward
in
opening
up.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
time.
B
A
Is
there
a
second
second
all,
those
in
favor
all
right.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
just
a
reminder.
Mr
perkins
just
make
sure
that
you
continue
your
dialogue
with
the
community,
because
we
encourage
people
to
be
good
neighbors,
I'm
going
to
call
for
a
15-minute
break
and
we
will
resume
at
noon
time.
So
the
meeting
is
adjourned
until
noon.
