F
C
Morning,
Liz
Olivier.
C
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
us
we'll
go
through
the
extension
schedule
for
9
30.
F
at
this
point,
I'll
say
that
we,
the
first
four
requests
on
the
list
of
all
expired,
walked
by
relief
and
our
first
time
request
for
one
year
extension.
Well
it
typically.
It
was
not
approved
extensions
that
the
applicant
is
not
submitted
their
request
prior
to
the
inspiration
date
of
the
zoning
release.
F
What
has
frequently
approved
the
first
time
request
for
extension,
that
all
that
to
say
to
save
time,
I'll
read
these
and
I'll
read
the
first
four
into
the
record
together
and
basically
and
who
want
to
vote
on
those
in
one
motion
and
and
we'll
move
on
from
there.
Unless
people
have
questions
on
this
so
the
first
week,
first
one
we
have
is
case,
boa
105
1313
the
address
of
14
Main
Street.
F
F
F
C
Okay,
with
that
do
I
have
an
ocean.
J
Yeah,
we
could
do
one
year,
one
day,
one
year
from
today,
I'm
sorry.
D
Okay,
so
motioned
to
prove
an
extension
until
August
29
2024.
may
have.
I
I
I
F
K
Yes,
good
morning,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Tony
lachacy
I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
law,
firm
of
prokidis
and
bluesteem
600
Atlantic
Avenue
in
Boston
I'm,
representing
City
Point,
Liverpool
LLC.
In
connection
with
the
proposed
residential
development
at
151,
Liverpool
Street
in
East
Boston.
K
We
resolved
the
reason
for
our
last
extension
that
we
were
here
last
year
and
obtained
the
required
State
permit
for
the
proposed
vehicle
elevator
earlier
this
year.
But
then
our
proposed
construction
financing
fell
through
and
Rising
construction
costs
and
interest
rates
have
complicated
are
getting
replacement
financing
in
place.
We
expect
to
be
able
to
overcome
those
complications,
but
you
know
need
need
some
more
time.
K
D
K
Yes,
this
has
been
one
series
or
another
of
unexpected
complications
and
then,
of
course,
we
ran
into
the
pandemic,
but
we
have
demolished
the
building.
That
was
there
that
in
itself
had
some
problems,
because
there
was
utility
lines
that
were
connected
to
our
building.
K
That,
with
no
reasons
we
had
some
disputes
with
neighbors
about
that,
but
we
were
finally
able
to
demolish
the
existing
building
and
then
ran
into
some
issues,
as
I
said,
with
the
proposed
vehicle
elevator
that
we
that's
critical
for
our
layout
and
we
ended
up
getting
the
permit.
K
Usually
that
was
not
required
in
order
to
get
the
billing
permit,
but
it
was
a
change
in
policy,
so
we
had
to
get
that
earlier
this
year,
so
the
building
permit
is
now
ready
to
issue
and
and
when
we
get
mobilized
and
get
our
construction
financing
we'll
pull
that
permit
and
get
construction
started.
The
developer
is
is
committed
to
the
project.
We've
just
and
I.
Think
we've
demonstrated
our
perseverance
by
continuing
to
Forge
ahead
and
we
do
need
some
some
more
time.
I
D
I
F
C
M
Madam,
chair
Javier
had
to
step
out.
This
is
Sam
okay,
we
that
that
is
entirely
up
to.
N
M
C
Okay,
Mr
Stembridge.
I
I
C
So,
just
before
we
proceed
to
the
hearings,
I
just
want
to
point
out
at
this
time.
It
appears
that
we
are
a
six-member
board
and
one
of
our
members
needs
to
depart
by
1
pm,
which
would
make
us
a
five-member
board
at
that
time.
So
just
want
to
make
sure
all
our
applicants
are
aware
of
that,
and
if
we
could
do
our
best
to
keep
moving
forward,
we
would
appreciate
it.
Thank
you,
Mr
sunbridge.
F
Yes,
ma'am
here
next
we
have
brief
discussions
scheduled
for
9
30..
We
have
case
DOA
one
four,
six,
two
one,
one:
nine
with
the
address
of
1742-1748
Dorchester
Avenue,
is
the
applicant
and
or
they're
representative
president.
O
C
I
P
C
I
I
am
fine
with
that
and
you
know
hopefully
Javier
or
someone
can.
Let
us
know
if
our
seventh
board
member
appears
yeah.
J
This
time
here,
I'll,
let
you
know
we're
trying
to
get
in
contact
with
them:
okay,
yeah!
So.
C
F
Q
Good
morning
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Francis
Adams
I'm,
an
attorney
in
South
Boston.
Q
With
the
business
address
of
350
West
Broadway
South
Boston
Mass
I
represent
Mercedes
Mulligan
84
Marine
Road,
boa
1405151.
We
are
withdrawing
the
application.
Okay.
C
A
C
C
J
F
So
next
we
have
in
case
boa
149
3596
with
the
address
excuse.
The
address
of
5
Grayfield
Avenue
is
the
applicant
or
they're
representable.
President
hi.
C
U
So
thank
you
to
the
board
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
My
name
is
Alan
Miss
love
I'm,
the
homeowner
at
five
Greenfield
Avenue
in
West
Roxbury,
where
I've
lived
for
12
years
with
my
wife
and
two
children
yeah,
that's
our
family
has
expanded.
U
We
found
our
house
to
be
a
bit
small
sharing
a
bathroom
with
our
two
children
is
getting
a
bit
old
and
so
we're
hoping
to
convert
our
walk-up
addict
into
a
master,
bedroom
and
bathroom,
and
so,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
plans
on
page
two
of
the
documents,
the
only
external
change
for
the
project
would
be
the
installation
of
a
dormer
on
the
rear
side
of
our
house
and
then,
as
you
can
see,
on
pages
four
and
five
of
the
plans,
the
existing
walk-up
attic
will
become
a
master
bedroom
and
bathroom,
and
the
existing
stairs
will
be
adjusted
to
fit
with
these
plants.
U
U
Excessive
we're
proposing
to
convert
our
attic
into
a
third
floor.
The
zoning
allows
two
and
a
half
floors.
We
are
not
proposing
to
change
the
overall
height
of
our
house
and
then
third,
the
floor
area
ratio
is
excessive.
Our
zoning
area
requires
a
Florida
ratio
of
0.3
with
this
project
we'll
be
adding
approximately
600
square
feet
of
living
space
and
our
four
area
ratio
would
be
approximately
0.32
so
slightly
over
the
limit
we
held
in
a
butter
meeting
where
there
are
no
negative
comments
and
the
West
Roxbury
neighborhood
Council
voted
unanimously
to
support
the
project.
V
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
This
time
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board,
and
we
can
concur
that
an
abundance
meeting
was
held,
that
there
was
no
negative
feedback
from
Neighbors
that
the
applicant
did
go
on
to
meet
the
jpnc,
which
voted
unanimously.
R
And
chairman
of
the
board
Paul
Sullivan
city
council
at
large
Michael
Flaherty,
he,
the
Wisconsin,
Community
Council,
unanimously
supported
this
project
and
that
being
said,
the
conflict
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.
C
All
right
will
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
C
Y
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adams
emergency
business,
address
of
168th
Street
first
floor
South
Boston
joining
me
today
is
the
actual
owner,
Brian
Doherty,
as
well
as
the
architectural
Rivero,
as
it
was
just
right
into
the
record.
This
is
a
proposal
to
combine
two
lots
and
expand
livable
space
of
an
existing
two
family.
By
way
of
a
rare
addition
with
ground
level
garage
parking
for
two
vehicles,
the
two
units
will
be
converted
to
condos,
which
aligns
with
the
city's
gold
increasing
home
ownership.
Y
The
proposed
square
foot
lot
size
is
approximately
3749
square
feet
and
is
located
within
a
sub-district
of
a
one-four
thousand.
Because
of
this
we
have
a
zoning
violation
for
insufficient
block
size,
as
we
are
slightly
below
the
4
000
square
feet.
Further,
the
existing
two
family
is
a
non-conforming
use.
We
have
a
violation
for
an
extension
of
that
non-conforming
use.
Y
The
proposal's
design
is
aligned
with
the
forms
in
the
height
of
the
existing
adjacent
buildings.
We
also
have
violations
for
the
following
four
area
ratio.
This
proposal
calls
for
a
0.83
with
a
zoning.
Compliance
is
a
0.6.
The
existing
structure
is
non-conforming
at
a
0.7
I.
We
are
complying
on
feet,
but
we're
seeking
relief
under
stories
at
three
stories
where
two
and
a
half
stories
is
what
is
allowed
by
the
zoning
code.
Y
You
will
see
from
the
drawings
that
the
elevation
substantially
drops
going
from
the
front
of
the
dwelling
structure
to
the
rear
and
that's
where
we
get
the
height
violations.
But
again
the
height
will
stay
consistent
with
the
existing
structure
at
34
feet,
front
yard,
violation,
it's
pre-existing
non-conforming
at
9.6.
What
is
compliant
is
20
feet
again.
We
are
not
altering
that
footprint
of
that
front.
Yard
structure,
side
yard
violations.
Again
these
are
pre-existing
non-conforming.
Y
The
existing
structure
is
five
feet
on
one
side:
2.6
feet
on
the
other
side,
what
is
complying
is
10
feet,
but
you
will
see
from
the
plans
that
we
were
actually
providing
more
of
a
setback
with
the
addition
at
7.8
feet
on
one
side
and
8.8
feet
on
the
other
side.
Last
violation
we
do
have
is
a
rear
yard
extension,
a
pre-existing
non-conforming
as
of
right
now,
with
the
current
structure
at
five
feet,
what
is
compliant
is
20.
with
the
combining
the
two
Parcels.
C
Y
So
yeah
so
the
parking
so,
as
you
can
see
here
from
the
the
actual
site
plan
that
we
have
here
so
this,
these
two
laws
that
I
can
combine
are
going
to
flow
through
from
Rodman
Street
to
Eldridge
Road.
Y
The
curb
cop
will
be
a
new
curb
cut
to
provide
the
parking
for
the
two-car
garage.
There
is
a
mature
tree
in
the
back
of
the
of
of
this
property
that
will
be
removed
in
order
to
allow
for
this
and
again,
the
proponent
has
committed
to
planting
four
new
trees
in
the
rear
on
the
sides
of
these
properties
as
well.
I
know,
there's
not
really
a
clearer
image
on
how
or
what
those
trees
will
look
at.
Y
But
if
you
go
scroll
back
to
the
very
first
cover
page
that
you
will
notice
that
yeah,
so
there's
a
one
there's
another
picture
right
below
this.
One
I
know
this.
For
some
reason
it
was
inadvertently
left
off.
We
had
a
larger
size
picture
of
that
backyard,
showing
the
actual
plantings
but
again
during
the
community
process.
Y
That
is
one
thing
that
the
proponent
has
committed
to
do
is
replanting
four
trees,
the
Landscaping
plan,
I
did
read
the
bpda's
recommendation
and
the
proponent
will
continue
to
work
together,
if
approved
during
the
design
review
process.
V
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Conor
Newman
with
the
Mayors
Office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
son
of
Mayor
sausage,
is
referred
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
My
apologies
Madam
chair
due
to
personal
changes.
I,
don't
have
a
lot
of
information
on
this
particular
case.
Our
office
did
host
an
abutters
meeting
I
believe
in
May
of
2023
napkin
did
go
on
to
meet
with
the
jpnc,
which
I
understand
voted
to
defer
to
the
board.
V
H
H
It's
going
to
Shadow
our
entire
property
and
we
did
have
meetings
with
the
zone
and
it
was
a
split
decision
on
the
vote,
because
one
of
the
board
members
could
not
vote
because
he
was
a
relative,
but
it
at
the
time
the
meeting
it
was
sent
to
go
to
the
city,
but
it
was.
It
was
not
a
clear
decision
as
to
support
this
project
or
not,
and
the
other
a
butter
I
know
on
the
other
side
also
does
not
support
this
project.
X
E
There
is
no
benefit
to
the
neighborhood
for
this
project,
as
it's
being
proposed
to
benefit
us
to
the
homeowner
to
make
more
money
for
his
retirement,
the
immensity
of
it
and
the
fact
that
the
back
of
this
building
is
the
front
of
buildings
on
Eldridge
Street.
So
this
is
creating
a
backyard
garage
door
Frontage
to
Frontage
of
other
houses.
E
Q
Q
Y
C
X
Y
So
Madam
chair
first
couple
of
things
I
want
to
address
is
goes
to
Miss
Kate
Ellingson.
The
proponent
has
had
numerous
meetings
addressing
all
concerns.
However,
they
try
to
find
common
ground
on
certain
areas.
The
setbacks
that
are
concerned.
Those
are
pre-existing
setbacks,
as
you
can
see
from
the
drawings
here
that
the
addition
we've
actually
have
more
of
those
side
of
the
Guard
setbacks
in
there.
Y
One
thing
that
the
proponent
is
also
committed
to
is
that
if
this
project
is
approved,
they
will
have
an
arborist
come
in
and
review
the
tree
to
ensure
that
their
tree
on
their
property
is
not
impacted
at
all
whatsoever
during
the
construction
phase
and
they've
also
committed
that
if
there
was
any
sort
of
damage
done
on
their
property
during
the
construction
that
it
would
be
repaired
immediately
because
they
had
concerns
surrounding
a
retaining
wall.
So
again
my
client
has
has
committed
to
working
together
with
the
neighborhood.
Y
On
those
comments
there
and
again,
you
know:
they've
they've
have
tried
to
walk
work
through
a
lot
of
these
because
in
the
last
comment,
I
just
like
to
revisit
again
again
the
the
the
height
to
that
are
being
proposed
here
in
their
stories
very
consistent
with
building
alignments
in
this
neighborhood
and
again,
if
I
could
just
recall
back
that
there
is
an
elevation
drop
going
from
Rodney
down
to
Alexander
and
that's
the
only
reason
why
we
were
cited
for
that
three
stories
versus
the
two
and
a
half.
C
Thank
you
any
other
questions
from
the
board
hearing.
None
may
I
have
a
motion.
Z
E
C
So
sorry,
yes,
yes,
Mr
Langham,
no
Mr
Collins,
yes,
Miss
canado!
Yes,
the
chair,
also
votes,
yes
motion
carries
great.
Thank
you.
B
B
The
project
is
a
small
addition
to
the
rear
of
an
existing
single-family
house
on
Taylor
Street.
You
can
see
in
the
drawing
there
the
rear
extension
shown
on
the
left
hand
side.
It's
currently
one
story:
it
used
to
be
two
stories
and
we're
looking
for
permission
to
put
the
Second
Story
back,
because
the
family
needs
some
additional
space.
B
They've
worked
closely
with
all
the
Neighbors
on
this
and
we're
not
aware
of
anyone
in
opposition
to
it.
The
addition
will
be
designed
to
blend
with
the
existing
house,
and
you
can
see
that
on
the
elevations
on
this
next
sheet
here,
so
it's
a
very
important
space
for
the
owners
but
the
and
that
you
can
see
in
this
drawing
the
neighbors
have
a
two-story
addition
on
the
similar
L.
That's
right!
Next
to
us,
there
so
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
V
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
Mary's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
this
time,
the
mayor's,
obviously
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
Oso
student
abutters
meeting
on
June
27th,
where
I
understand
many
Butters,
were
on
that
vocalize.
Their
support
our
office
further
received
three
letters
of
support
from
directed
voters
as
well,
which.
W
I
believe
they
made
available
to
this
board
with
that
we'll
defer
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
Thank.

Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Mark
lacasse
La
casla
75
Arlington
Street
in
Boston
attorney
for
the
proponent,
also
meet
today
at
the
hearing.
Is
our
architect,
Jason
arndt
from
Zephyr
and
sharp
Venture
group
that
proponent,
which
consists
of
David
link
and
Evan
link
the
owners
of
this
property.
AA
AA
So
if
we
could
just
scroll
back
to
the
image
of
the
of
the
building,
please
so
a
lot
of
thought
was
put
into
the
design
of
the
new
building,
since
it's
infill
construction
working
closely
with
the
eagle
Hill
civic
association
and
the
butter
is
this
design
that
you
see
is
the
product
of
much
much
input
from
the
various
groups
and
butters
that
have
an
interest
in
new
construction
in
the
neighborhood.
AA
The
Proposal
consists
of
two
two
bedroom
units
and
two
three
bedroom
units,
but
there
is
no
parking
at
this
proposed
infill
construction
again,
that
was
the
product
of
the
working
with
the
neighborhood
and
the
desire
for
a
large
rear
lot
rear
yard
area,
which
consists
of
a
good
amount
of
open
space
behind
the
building
in
exchange,
for
which
there's
no
parking.
S
Good
morning,
Jason
R
is
that
for
our
text,
315
a
Street
Boston,
so
as
Mark
was
speaking
out,
this
is
an
infield
building.
The
design
aesthetic
was
actually
well
received,
with
the
neighborhood
broadly
the
idea
of
taking
some
Modern
approach
to
the
local
vernacular
and
moving
some
materials
around
something
that
might
be
typically
on
the
roof
move
down
to
the
to
the
lower
lower
area,
with
a
long,
lasting,
zinc
and
elegant
proportions.
If
I
do
say
so
myself,
the
building
itself
is
situated
five
feet
back
from
the
lot
line.
S
Working
on,
allow
ourselves
a
five
foot
green
buffer
at
the
front,
as
Mark
mentioned,
the
curb
cut
will
be
removed.
The
owner
has
has
committed
to
actually
place
my
curb
cut
with
a
A
Street
tree,
the
programmatically,
the
building's
pretty
straightforward.
If
he
starts
going
through
the
plans,
the
ground
floor
plan
is
the
entrance
and
a
two-bedroom
residential
unit
of
about
9940
Square
feet.
The
second
floor
would
be
another
two
bedroom
unit
with
about
a
thousand
square
feet
and
then
the
third
floor.
We
have
two
duplexes.
S
These
are
three
bedroom
units
of
about
1150
square
feet,
going
up
to
the
setback.
Fourth
floor
of
the
set
back
on
the
fourth
floor
is
about
six
feet:
11
feet
from
the
wall
line.
All
the
units
will
have
private
outdoor
space
via
a
walkout
decks
and
in
the
instance
of
the
upper
duplexes,
will
have
a
two
private
roof
decks
with
accessible
via
a
head
house.
In
addition
to
the
private
outdoor
space,
we
are
proposing
that
everybody
has
a
access
to
a
public
outdoor
Spacey
in
the
backyard
this
would
be
accessed
through
the
basement.
S
The
basement
would
be
primarily
primarily
used
as
as
storage
for
the
residents
above
I
think
that's
about
it.
A
AA
And
you
know
just
this
is
in
the
East
Boston
iPod,
due
to
the
pendency
of
the
current
plan
for
East
Boston,
and
we
are
mindful
of
the
bpdas
recommendation,
but
also
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
we
did
strive
mightily
to
achieve
as
many
of
the
planning
criteria
set
forth
in
the
current
pending
plan,
including
the
proposed
maximum
lot
coverage
under
the
plan
is
60,
and
this
proposal
is
58
lot
coverage
minimum
permeable
surface
of
30
percent.
This
proposal
has
42
percent
minimum
front
yard
2.5.
This
has
five
feet.
AA
Maximum
building
depth
is
70
feet
and
this
is
63
feet,
maximum
building
width
of
50
and
we
have
20..
Another
important
criteria
is
minimum
rear
yard
of
33
percent
of
the
lot
area,
and
we
have
32
percent
so
again
with
the
with
the
give
and
take
and
the
balance
between
all
the
considerations
of
the
civic
association,
the
neighbors,
the
designs
considerations,
creating
new
dwelling
units
on
the
bacon
parcel.
C
Can
you
speak
to
this
in
the
context
of
the
surroundings
I'm
looking
to
see
if
there
are
other
four-story
structures
nearby
and
head
house
versus
hatch
versus
roof
decks
in
general?
Can
you
speak
to
that
a
little
bit?
Yes,.
AA
Right
next
door
at
221,
so
if
you're
looking
at
this
site
plan
right
here
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
building
is
a
new
condominium
building
that
has
four
stories
seven
units
and
has
head
houses
on
it
as
well,
so
that
that's
the
most
immediate
context.
The
building
to
the
left
is
the
historic
brick
building,
but
we've
aligned
the
front
of
the
building.
If
you
go
back
to
the
original
image
and
the
fourth
floor
is
set
back
in
the
front
to
yeah,
it's
a
hard
to
tell
there
but
Jason.
S
So
we
we're
aligning
the
front
of
the
building
lines
with
the
new
construction
to
the
right
at
221
Saratoga,
the
height
of
the
building
to
the
right
as
Mark
was
saying,
is
a
four-story.
Was
the
head
house
the
building
to
the
left,
which
is
the
existing
brick
building?
That's
been
saved
and
renovated.
It's
actually
a
three
and
a
half
story.
Building
with
like
a
basement,
that's
coming
out
of
the
ground
quite
a
bit
and
a
good,
a
good
bit
of
height
on
it.
D
AA
Criteria
of
the
plan
that
we
do
not
meet
is
that
the
this
is
a
3F
sub
District,
so
the
fourth
unit
constitutes
multi-family
residential
use,
maximum
height
of
three
stories.
We
have
the
partial
fourth
floor,
set
back
in
the
front
and
the
minimum
side
yard
setback
is
2.5
and
the
the
distance
between
219
and
the
building
and
common
ownership
on
the
right
is
just
under
two
feet
and
the
distance
between
the
new
building
and
the
new
condo
building
on
the
left
is
five
feet
between
the
buildings.
AA
AA
Those
are
the
the
zoning
issues
and
the
non-compliance
with
revisions
of
playing
East
Boston.
N
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
melavia
Gomez
here
with
the
mayor's
office
of
newbird
services,
ons,
hosted
under
veterans
meeting
for
this
project
on
November
1st
2022,
two
better
two
of
Runners
were
present
on
the
club.
The
Avengers
expressed
concerns
about
the
parking
of
the
project
and
express
overall
approval
of
the
design.
The
applicant
met
with
eagle
Hill
neighborhood
association
in
November
2022
in
January
2023,
and
the
group
voted
to
support
16
residents
in
favor
and
one
in
opposition.
At
this
time,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
J
AB
J
B
AC
Hi
y'all,
my
name
is
Lee
Valentine,
my
wife,
Elena
I
know
O'malley
and
I
lived
at
164,
Bennington
Street,
and
we
are
a
diagonal
of
letters
to
the
property.
We
have
two
areas
concerned
that
we
would
hope
the
the
board
will
consider
prior
to
approval
of
the
process.
AC
AC
The
the
elevation
of
land
on
Saratoga
is
much
higher
than
the
Bennington
Street
Properties
and
the
board
has
been
you
know,
approving
projects
that
are
already
very
tall
and
then
on
top
of
these
elevated
buildings,
and
although
there
may
be
some,
you
know
Aesthetics
from
the
street,
which
look
different,
we're
on
the
rear
side,
so
the
mass
of
the
building,
including
its
head
houses,
it
impacts
us
and
in
East
Boston
a
lot
of
times.
AC
People
in
our
neighborhood
we've
been
favoring,
more
hatch
access
instead
of
head
houses,
I
spoke
with
David
link.
One
of
the
developers
had
a
good
conversation
with
him.
AC
It
sounded
like
they
were
proposing
head
houses,
principally
because
they
thought
they
had
a
duty
of
compliance
to
include
the
head
house,
and
we
believe
that
it
would
help
with
the
massing
the
ability
that
the
building,
from
our
perspective
on
our
side
of
the
flood,
if
that
was
converted
to
a
hash,
and
that
has
been
trend
for
at
least
a
number
of
the
buildings
in
the
area,
particularly
buildings.
This
size,
I,
believe
Mr
Lang
said
that
they
would
probably
not
oppose
it.
AC
If
the
board
sought
to
convert
from
head
house
to
hatch,
although
you
can
have
his
attorney
address,
that
the
second
area
of
concern
we
have
has
to
do
with
the
positioning
of
our
particular
property.
We
are
basically
at
the
low
spot
of
all
surrounding
buildings
in
the
area,
and
so
we
would
be
more
susceptible
to
run
off
water
than
pretty
much
anyone
else
in
the
area
and
in
the
past
the
board
has
approved
other
projects
and
we've
had
large
buildings.
AC
You
know
go
up,
for
instance,
on
223
Saratoga,
and
we
forewarned
the
city
and
Eagle
Hill
civic
association.
This
is
going
to
cause
us
flooding
because
we
get
atypical
flooding.
We
get
runoff
at
high
speed
from
any
of
the
properties
nearby.
If
there's
not
a
you
know
a
water,
something
to
catch
the
water
running
off
the
property
or
if
the
drainage
isn't
proper,
and
we
found
that
as
we
predict,
this
223
Saratoga
has
caused
a
substantial
flooding,
we
believe
to
our
property
since
it
was
constructed.
AC
We
have
similar
concerns
to
219,
although
we
want
to
say
that
they
that
you
have
a
backyard,
but
we
believe
that
the
the
back
end
of
the
structure
is
being
moved
closer
than
the
existing
garage.
That's
on
the
property,
and
so
we
worry
about
the
permeability
of
land
and
again
it's
not
normal
drainage.
That
is,
is
really
an
issue.
It's
runoff
it.
The
water,
can
come
onto
our
property
just
by
Rolling
off
the
land
at
high
speed.
So
any
change
in
permeability
is
potentially
problematic
to
us.
AC
We
have
received
just
recently
from
David
Blank.
We
had
good
communication
with
him
recently
and
he
sent
us
the
article
32
letters
and
then
no
harm
letters,
but
again
I,
don't
know.
Those
particularly
addressed
are
concerns
about
the
the
faster
runoff
for
it
and
we'd
like
to
offer
for
the
board's
consideration
the
the
possibility
of
having
a
small,
solid,
a
retaining
wall
at
the
rear
of
the
property
combined
with
means
to
capture
any
of
the
water
that
gathers
there
and
Route
it
back
into
the
proposed
drain
system.
AC
We
think
that
would
be
potentially
helpful.
We
didn't
come
forward
with
this
proposal
to
Mr
Link
until
today,
because
he
just
got
some
of
his
approval.
Letters
concerning
drainage
recently
himself,
and
we
just
were
given
the
letter
as
of
yesterday.
So
we've
had
good
communication
and
we'd
like
to
thank
Mr.
C
AA
Two
quick
things:
Madam
chair,
as,
as
you
heard
from
Christian
Simon,
not
only
we
have
an
approved
groundwater
recharge
system
which
will
capture
all
of
the
rain
water
from
the
roof
surface
of
the
building
and
diverted
into
a
Caltech
chamber
in
the
rear
yard.
G
Z
Z
Yes,
thank
you
good
morning,
everyone
I'm
going
for
subscribing
for
somebody
else.
That's
the
reason.
I
just
joined.
C
Thank
you
no
worries
appreciate
it.
Miss
panado.
Yes,
the
chair
also
votes.
Yes,
the
motion
carries
so
before
we
take
a
recess
because
we
have
to
until
11
A.M
I
just
want
to
remind
folks.
So
we
are
now
a
seven-member
board.
However,
both
two
of
us
need
to
leave
by
2
p.m,
so
consequently
it
will
become
a
five-member
board
at
that
time.
Oh
I'm,
so
sorry,
yes,
Mr
Suzuki,
heard
you
first
and
then
take
a
recess.
Okay,
thank.
AA
You
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
Saratoga
Street.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
F
O
Yep
good
morning
again
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
and
thank
you
for
Mr
board
member
Valencia
for
joining
attorney,
Nix,
Azul
and
McDermott
cruelty
and
Miller.
Here
on
behalf
of
Demetrios
and
Bobby
jarosemitees,
who
are
the
Property
Owners
and
developers.
They
have
owned
this
site
for
around
30
years.
They
had
a
long
time,
Property
Owners
of
1742
to
1748,
Dorchester,
Avenue
and
also
with
me
as
our
architect,
Derek
rubinoff
and
anat
Beck,
knocked
it
up
noctagal
from
Derek
rubinoff
Architects
next
slide,
please
Madam
Ambassador.
O
This
is
just
a
a
display
of
what
I
just
said,
so
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
slide.
Knowing
that
time
is
short,
this
is
a
slide
of
some
property
context.
The
the
property
now
is
an
old
service
station
and
gas
station
that
the
Jared
samidis
family
are
looking
to
redevelop
into
a
mixed-use
residential
and
ground
floor.
Commercial
building
you
can
see
on
the
left
is
community
located
along
dot,
Ave
kind
of
smack
in
the
middle
of
the
walking
distance
between
Shaman
mvta
station
and
Ashman
MBTA
station.
O
O
This
is
just
an
existing
exterior
view
of
the
current
condition
of
the
site
from
the
corner
of
seamont,
Road
and
Dorchester.
Avenue
again,
you
can
see
here
it's
an
old,
defunct
out
of
service
gas
station
and
Service
Station.
It's
not
the
site's
highest
and
best
use,
and
that
is
the
reason
for
the
proposal
in
front
of
you
today.
O
Next
slide,
please
some
additional
existing
exterior
views
of
the
site
again
from
from
various
viewpoints
in
and
around
the
site,
including
seamont
and
Dorchester
Ave,
again
just
to
give
an
idea
of
of
the
site
and
the
context
around
it.
Next
slide.
O
And
this
is
just
to
show
some
context
of
the
area.
Site
is
located
in
a
multi-family
residential
local
services
sub-district,
so
the
MFR
residential
use
isn't
allowed
use.
We,
we
are
proposing
the
ground
floor,
restaurant,
which
is
conditional
which
you'll
see
in
a
minute,
and
we
just
wanted
to
highlight
you
know
we
are
on
dot
Ave.
There
are
several
buildings
in
the
immediate
area
of
similar
size,
height
and
density,
including
two
more
recently
approved
four-story
buildings.
O
On
the
left-hand
side,
you
can
see
here
1700
Dorchester
Avenue
in
1710,
Dorchester
Avenue,
which
are
a
few
blocks
north
of
our
site.
You
can
see
our
site
in
the
Red
Dot
and
one
and
two
above,
and
we
also
highlight
a
few
other.
You
know
more
dense
buildings
along
dot
Ave
next
slide.
O
This
is
our
zoning
slide.
Madam
chair
happy
to
go
through
this
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
If
there
are
any
questions,
we
have
designed
the
project
to
scale
and
complement
this
unique
Corner
location
on
dot
Ave.
It's
a
corner
lot
on
a
busy
thoroughfare
consistent
with
some
of
the
newer
Heights
on
dot
Ave.
So
it
does
need
zoning
relief
for
a
variety
of
areas.
O
Many
of
them
are
related
to
the
corner
location
and
replacing
this
non-conforming
kind
of
loud,
environmentally
unfriendly
use
with
what
we
think
is
a
better,
a
better
use
for
today's
day
and
age
next
slide.
O
This
is
just
the
zoning
refusal
letter
again
just
you
know,
to
show
what
we
need.
A
lot
of
this
has
to
do
with
the
corner
lot
and
our
location,
however,
happy
to
go
on
more
detail,
Madam
chair.
If
there's
any
questions
in
Q
a
and
discuss
the
violations
next
slide,.
O
Thank
you
and
I'll
pass
this
over
to
Derek
rubinov
who's,
our
architect,
I
just
want
to
give
you
just
very
quickly
the
high
level
summary
we
are
demolishing
that
existing
single
store
gas
station
what's
being
proposed
is
a
four-story
mixed-use
building.
The
fourth
story
is
pulled
back
a
decent
amount
at
the
top
level,
which
you
will
see
you
can
see
here
on
the
left
side,
a
larger
space
in
Brown,
which
is
a
1282
square
foot
restaurant
space.
O
On
the
first
floor
and
street
level,
we
are
proposing
14
dwelling
units
on
the
upper
floors,
along
with
semi-covered
kind
of
garage
parking
in
the
rear,
with
access
off
of
seamont
Road.
This
would
also
provide
out
of
the
14
units.
Two
of
these
units
would
be
affordable,
IDP
units
under
the
city's
current
IDP
policies,
with
that
I'll
toss
it.
If
Derek,
who
can
quickly,
show
you
what
I
just
discussed
and
described
and
then
we're
happy
to
take
any
questions
so
Derek
over.
AD
To
you
great,
thank
you.
Nick
I'm,
going
to
about
insurance.
Word
appreciate
your
time
today,
architect,
82
Spring
Street
in
West
Roxbury
and
with
me
as
a
dog
technological
from
my
office.
As
you
see,
Nick
has
been
explaining
our
site
plan.
Here.
We've
been
working
with
the
bpda
on
this
and
for
the
bpda
request.
We
have
provided
six
parking
spaces,
three
of
those
who
are
standard
and
three
of
those
are
Compact
and
we
have
14
covered
bicycle
spaces.
AD
Currently
on
the
street,
there
is
one
space
in
front
on
Dorchester
Avenue
on
the
left
there
of
the
diagram
and
the
rest
is
a
giant
curb
cut
for
the
gas
station,
so
that
curb
cut
on
the
on
Dorchester
Avenue
would
be
eliminated
in
instead
of
having
one
space
on
the
street.
We
would
now
have
four.
AD
So,
in
addition
to
the
six
spaces
provided
on
site,
including
one
handicap,
there
would
be
four
instead
of
blue
on
on
Dorchester
Avenue,
you
can
see
the
bicycle
room
at
the
bottom
left
and
the
the
entrance
to
the
residential
Apartments
is
on
Dorchester
Avenue
at
the
bottom
left.
AD
AD
The
screen
against
the
jury,
assembly's
family,
neighboring,
building
and
I
believe
that's
a
10-foot
setback
on
the
yeah
10
foot
side
back
on
the
right
against
the
next
building
on
C
on
seamount
Road
other
than
that
we
are
maintaining
the
street
wall
along
Dorchester,
Avenue,
building
right
out
to
the
lot
line,
and
we
go
to
the
next
slide.
AD
This
is
the
again
the
same
plant.
You
just
looked
at
just
a
different
diagram
of
it.
So
I
was
in
the
convention.
We
have
a
restaurant
space
at
the
top
left
restaurant
retail
space
at
the
top
left,
the
core
elements
and
Lobby
for
the
yellow
for
the
apartments
at
the
bottom
left,
and
you
can
see
the
in
and
out
that
we've
worked
out
with
the
bpda
on
sustimo
Road.
There
we
go
to
the
next
slide
foreign
plan.
AD
We
have
a
yeah
great
thank
you.
We
have
four
one
bedroom
units
and
one
two
bedroom
unit,
all
the
units
in
this
building,
because
there's
an
elevator
we'll
be
grouping
One
units
by
the
way
for
accessibility.
AD
Let's
keep
going
here
to
the
next
slide.
All
the
units
meet
the
minimum
requirements
or
do
better
than
that
for
the
bpda
sizes
for
units
minimum
sizes.
Here
we
are
on
I
believe
the
third
floor
here
and
we
have
two
one
bedrooms
and
three
two
bedrooms,
foreign.
C
O
AD
To
the
next
sorry,
madam
chair,
we'll
be
quick
yep.
On
importantly,
on
the
top
floor
on
the
fourth
floor,
we've
recessed
the
the
fourth
floor,
similar
to
what's
down
the
road
recently
constructed
at
1700
Dorchester
Avenue,
we've
recessed
the
the
fourth
floor,
back
from
the
the
two
streets,
the
two
streets
there
and
provided
a
a
three
bedroom
penthouse
unit
as
along
with
two
one
bedroom.
AD
That's
on
that
floor,
there's
a
private
roof
deck
for
the
three
bedroom
unit
and
also
a
common
roof
deck
for
everybody
in
the
building
at
the
bottom
left.
So
the
next
slide
liquidus,
let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
great!
These
are
the
outdoor
proposed
views,
these
views
of
the
building
here.
This
is
across
the
street
on
Dorchester
Avenue,
and
what
we
are
doing
here
is
what
we
as
Nick
mentioned.
AD
It's
the
corner
is
very
important,
so
we
are
accenting
the
corners
with
brick
using
materials
from
other
buildings
nearby
to
keep
context,
so
a
combination
of
brick
at
the
corners.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
you
can
see
and
also
looking
at
lap
siding
as
a
reference
to
the
the
neighboring
buildings
in
Dorchester.
As
well,
the
first
floor
will
be
very
glossy
and
that's
again
to
create
a
good
shopping
experience
for
those
walking
up
and
down
Dorchester
Avenue
and
again,
as
I
mentioned.
AD
O
Yeah
next
slide
is
the
last
slide.
Madam
chair,
I'll
jump
in
just
very
quickly
this.
It's
a
multi-family
residential
use,
as
I
said,
it's
a
knowledge
use
under
the
zoning
code.
This
is
development
without
displacement.
There
is
no
residential
units
on
this
site,
so
we're
replacing
this
kind
of
non-conforming
loud,
environmentally
unfriendly
use
with
the
residential
use.
There
are
14
units.
Two
of
those
units
would
be
affordable
units.
So
it's
about
14.3
percent
and
we
are
thinking
condos
here.
O
We
would
have
to
enter
into
an
affordable
housing
agreement
with
the
city
with
the
bpda,
if
approved
by
the
board,
so
we're
not
100
sure
yet
on
the
condos,
but
obviously
we
have
to
enter
into
an
agreement
that
dictated
that
with
the
bpda
if
approved.
So
that
is
the
way
we're
leaning
at
this
point
in
time
and
apologies
for
the
lengthy
presentation,
but
there
was
a
lot
to
cover
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
that
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
You
so
just
to
confirm,
as
you
you
advertise
nine
parking
spaces
you're
down
to
six
correct.
O
Yes,
that
is
correct
as
part
of
the
as
part
of
the
process.
You
know
we,
this
isn't
this,
isn't
an
article
80
project,
Madam
chair,
we're
below
the
thresholds,
but
we
you
know
it
is.
It
is
a
project
that
has
size
to
it.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
got
ahead
of
things
and
and
had
some
initial
kind
of
review
with
the
bpda
and
as
part
of
that
process,
the
nine
parking
spaces
that
we
tried
to
fit
in
as
best
as
possible
did
did
get
reduced
to
six.
O
C
Thank
you.
Any
questions
from
the
board.
O
Yeah,
yes,
a
number
of
pinata
yeah,
so
this
would
be
caught
again.
What
you
know
we're
we're
more
likely
to
not.
This
is
condos,
so
they
would
be
the
typical
one
would
be
at
80
Ami
one
would
be
at
100
Ami.
We
do
have
eight
one
beds
and
four
two
beds.
It
likely
would
be
we're
thinking
again.
O
We
haven't
entered
into
the
internet,
we're
thinking
it
would
likely
be
one
one
bed
and
one
two
bed
at
that:
80
and
100
Ami,
which
is
the
kind
of
standard
Ami
for
condos
under
the
car
on
IEP.
O
Z
Okay
and
our
other
parking,
you
have
CX
parking
spaces.
How
far
is
the
closest
to
your
station
or
bus
station.
O
Yes,
Mr
Valencia
I
think
we
had
that
on
one
of
the
earlier
slides,
but
it's
about
it's
under
a
half
mile
to
both,
so
it's
on
both
the
Charlotte
and
and
ashwan
MBTA
stations
right
here.
Thank
you,
madam
Ambassador.
Oh
you!
Just
there
you
go
this
one
Mr
Valencia
you
could
see
here.
Shaman
is
North
by
about
five
miles
in
Ashmont,
obviously
they're
on
the
same
line.
So
you
know
I
think
you'd
probably
go
to
Charlotte
because
it
puts
you
closer
to
the
city,
but
we
are
equal
distance
between
two.
Thank
you.
C
Okay,
any.
G
Other
questions
from
the
board,
yeah
I,
have
one
question.
So,
given
the
site's
former
use,
what
is
sort
of
the
timeline
that
looks
like
into
getting
the
site
ready
for
development,
and
when
do
you
expect
to
start
construction
if
approved
today?.
O
Yes,
member,
we
will
thank
you.
The
the
underground
storage
tanks
have
actually
already
been
removed.
That's
my
understanding,
Bobby
or
Demetrius.
If
I'm
wrong,
say
something
but
I
believe
that
is
the
case.
The
the
prep
work
has
been
done
right.
Bobby
I
see
you
on
the
screen.
You
just
want
to
nod
or
give
me
a
thumbs
up
or
say.
Yes,
there.
You
are.
AC
Yes,
the
the
things
have
been
removed
and
they've
done
a
lot
of
soil
testing
and
we're
we're
actually
fairly
close
to
being
able
to
develop.
O
So,
thank
you
Bobby,
so
miss
we.
While
that
the
answer
is,
we've
we've
cleaned
up
the
site,
all
the
environmental
work's
been
done.
Obviously
we
would
have
to
demo,
but
you
know
the
hope
would
be
in
the
spring
would
be
the
plan
that
they
are
committed
to
moving
forward
on
this
project,
so
that
would
be
the
Hope.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
with
that
may
open
up
to
public
testimony.
P
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Ross
Cochran
we're
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
The
applicant
has
completed
their
Community
process.
Our
office
held
in
the
butters
meeting
on
May
8th
of
this
year,
where
one
person
supported
the
project
and
two
people
opposed
the
project.
I've
also
received
one
phone
call
in
opposition
as
well
as
three
emails
in
opposition
of
the
project.
P
Concerns
over
the
project
include
height
density,
Road
and
control,
and
the
process
of
removing
the
buried
gas
tanks
below
the
local
civic
association
met
with
the
proponents
in
late
May,
where
their
members
expressed
the
same
concerns
and
their
General
membership
meeting.
The
group
voted
to
oppose
this
project
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
Judgment
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
X
AE
Yes,
my
name
is
Reggie
Stewart
I
live
on
Wheatland
Ave
in
Dorchester,
I
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
the
metric
of
affordability
at
82,
100,
Ami
I,
understand
that
that's
a
government
standard,
but
as
far
as
Rochester
residence
and
more
specifically
black
Dorchester
residents,
our
incomes
are
closer
to
to
50
Ami,
so
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
room,
making
it
more
affordable
for
any
and
all
Dorchester
residents,
maybe
considering
maybe
considered
a
couple
of
more
affordable
units.
But
you
know
outside
of
that.
You
know.
I,
don't
have
any
issues.
AF
And
good
afternoon,
I
live
in
12,
Wilson
Street
and
my
main
concern
is
parking
we
already
I
already
have
seen
in
two
grocery
is
basically
kind
of
adjacent
on
that
building.
On
the
other
side
of
the
the
front
side
of
the
mutuals
I'm
concerned
about
the
parking
space,
that's
a
lot
of
units
and
yes,
they're,
like
old
shamans
over
here
and
Dorchester
Asheville
station
is
over
there.
So
the
street
that
goes
to
Charmin
Street
a
station
is
actually
my
stream
that
will
create
a
huge
traffic
right
in
front
of
my
door.
AF
X
L
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Michael
Joy
I
own.
A
property
is
10
and
14
Sam
tools,
you're
directly
and
back
with
a
project
supposed
to
proceed.
My
main
concern
is
basically
the
road
is
Slash.
The
parking,
a
parking's
super
tight,
because
this
this
building's
popping
up
all
over
the
place,
I
own
those
properties
for
decades
on
the
10
or
14
Saint,
George
Street,
the
problem
I'm.
Having
is
basically
during
like
the
winter
time
when
we
have
the
snow
emergencies,
the
main
art.
Therefore
it
has
to
be
clear.
L
So
they
have
all
these
vehicles
in
question.
It
has
to
be
taken
off
the
main
you
can
go
to
the
side
streets,
but
the
size
juices
are
only
half
as
it
is
now.
So
that's
that's
my
concern
like
during
the
street
cleaning
you
have
to
park
in
the
opposite
sides
of
the
street,
but
again
people
have
to
hit
the
side
streets.
You
know
to
get
off
the
main.
So
that's
my
primary
concern
is
the
parking
and
the
safety
of
the
residents
in
Dorchester.
Thank.
O
I
can
be
very
quick.
We
appreciate
these
comments
and
concerns
you
know
sent
to.
It
is
around
the
corner
from
us.
O
You
know,
I
think
we're
hoping
that
these
are
if
these
are
condos
that
folks
who
are
buying
these
units
will
understand
that
that
you
know
out
of
the
six
spaces
the
two
beds
and
the
three
bed
will
get
a
space,
and
if
you
have
a
studio
or
one
bed,
you
will
not
we're
happy
to
have
a
discussion
with
the
bpda
about
affordability
when
we
get
to
that
point,
if
approved
I,
do
know
that
the
bpda
recommended
approval
of
bpda
design
review
on
this
project.
O
So
you
know
a
lot
of
the
parking
issues
are
things
that
we
have
looked
at
with
the
city
already
and
we're
looking
to
address
further.
You
know
I
think
you
know
we're
providing
much
needed:
condo
home
ownership
and
these
affordable
units
in
a
city
with
the
housing
crisis
development
about
displacement.
So
you
know
I
think
our
hope
is
that
the
board
sees
that
you
know
this
location
in
use
is
a
good
fit
for
this
dot.
Ave
thoroughfare.
We
understand
that
our
concerns
we've.
O
You
know,
but
I
think
we've
tried
to
address
them,
while
also
listening
to
the
planning
perspective
of
the
city
and
kind
of
getting
pushed
and
pulled
in
various
directions
on
the
parking
standpoint.
But
you
know
I
I
think
the
the
six
spaces
would
provide
the
larger
units
to
all
have
a
parking
space
and
they
would
be
deeded,
so
you
wouldn't
have
issues
with
people
trying
to
park.
O
You
know
and
and
find
spaces
on
the
site
and
that
you
know
again
folks
who
are
buying
a
condo
here,
understand
that
if
you
have
a
one
bedroom
in
this
development,
you're
likely
not
going
to
have
a
parking
space
and
in
today's
day
and
age
we
would
think
that
people
would
buy
these
units
in
this
proximity
to
public
transportation
would
would
understand
that,
and
so
that
would
be
our
response.
And
you
know
we
asked
the
board
to
approve
the
project
and
we
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you.
D
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
what
bpda
design,
review
and
focus
on
sort
of
maximizing
the
the
affordability
of
the
condos,
the
the
IDP
units.
You
have
a
second.
