C
Hearing
none
I'll
go
right
to
the
first
case,
calling
boa
one:
two
one:
five:
nine:
zero:
five:
thirty
four
high
street
just
to
construct
a
new
two-story
addition
onto
an
existing
dwelling.
The
addition
will
feature
a
two
level
oreo
window.
There
will
be
a
new
deck
built
into
the
rear
yard,
which
will
cover
existing
parking
spaces.
The
violations
article
62
section
29
r
street
parking
is
insufficient.
C
C
F
A
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
The
only
thing
that's
the
issue
here
is
the
setbacks,
the
open
space
and
then
the
parking.
So
with
the
parking.
There
are
two
existing
parking
spaces
there.
They
actually
will
be
increased
somewhat
the
size
of
those,
but
those
are
existing
new
projects.
Now,
residential
projects
in
charlestown
don't
require
parking,
so
we
would
not
be
making
any
change
to
that.
This
would
allow
them
to
continue
to
keep
cars
off
the
street
and
keep
street
parking
open
while
taking
two
cars
off
of
the
street.
A
F
C
D
F
So
by
right
there
allowed
to
extend
the
building
to
the
to
the
abutting
property.
As
far
back
as
it
goes,
those
windows
really
shouldn't
be
there
from
that
abutting
property.
So
what
they're
doing
is
by
right
to
extend
their
current
building
to
the
end,
the
back
of
that
a
budding
property
as
it
is
a
zero
lot
line.
F
Basically,
those
windows
should
never
been
put
in
because
they
are,
as
I
said,
by
right,
the
the
owners
can
extend
their
building
to
the
back
of
that
a
budding
property.
So
what
obviously
happened
is
they
put
those
windows
in?
They
were
not
done
with
the
appropriate,
permitting
or
by
code,
but
just
put
in
there
to
try
and
I'm
not
sure
why
they're
put
in
but
the
windows
don't
actually
add
anything
to
that
property.
Is
they
have
windows
on
the
back
side
as
well?
D
F
They
have
spoken
to
the
abutters
they're,
not
in
opposition,
and
it's
been
explained
to
them.
What
the
plans
are.
The
plans
have
been
given
to
them
and
the
the
owners
will
make
the
appropriate
needed
construction
to
to
bait
any
issues
with
the
windows.
They'll
they'll
cover
them
up
for
them.
They'll
support
them
in
any
way
needed
so
that
there's
no
cost
or
damage
to
their
building.
F
D
D
D
It
looks
beautiful,
but
I
think
the
concern
associated
with
you
know
the
butter
covering
the
entire
lot
is
sort
of
what
the
bpda's
concern
is
because
they're
building
a
deck,
then
I
guess
I'm
just
wondering
if
if
this
is
really
a
subcommittee
project,
I
feel
like
this
needs
to
go
to
the
full
board.
To
be
honest,
I.
A
C
A
D
A
C
G
G
G
F
G
F
G
G
G
A
A
G
The
full
yeah
the
players
exactly
and
that's
that's
shown
on
the
exist,
the
the
curb
cut
side
plan,
which
is
on
the
screen.
So
I
was
counting
that
includes
the
flares
or
didn't
include
the
flares.
I'm
sorry,
I
will
point
out.
I
said
I
represent
kyle
and
jocelyn
gambon,
who
are
the
owners
of
the
property.
Jocelyn
is
the
registered
professional
engineer
who
actually
drew
the
curb
cut
side
plant
site
plan.
So,
if
necessary,
I
would
ask
that
the
jocelyn
who's
on
the
hearing.
A
E
A
E
G
Well,
what
I
was
saying,
mr
ehrlich
chairman,
is
that
there's
an
existing
residential
driveway
to
the
left,
which
is
why
there
is
already
a
curb
cut.
So
this
is
an
extension
of
the
existing
curb
cut
by
5.2
feet
to
accommodate
a
second
residential
driveway.
There's
a
seven
foot
residential
driveway
on
the
left
that
serves
779
east
broadway.
Nothing
to
do
with
this
project.
That
is
an
existing
curb
cut
to.
C
I'm
sorry,
mr
morenzie,
if
I
could
just
let
mr
chair
bob
d'amico
has
spoken
this,
I
don't
know
if
it's
beneficial,
maybe
to
defer.
This
went
to
the
full
board
as
well,
but
regarding
saying
we're
putting
onto
the
record
regarding
777
east
broadway,
he
requested
denial
for
the
following
reasons.
Both
spaces
are
undersized.
The
driveway
is
only
seven
eight
seven
and
a
half
feet
in
width.
A
minimum
should
be
ten
feet
to
allow
safe
access
and
egress
to
the
parking
area
and
maneuverability
is
insufficient.
D
We
go,
can
who's
running
the
slides.
Can
you
go
to
the
first
page
on
command
ambassador?
Sorry,
with
a
survey,
I
just
wanna.
That's
yes,
I
think.
That's
it.
Can
you
zoom
in
on
that?
I
don't
know
if
you
can't.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
trying
to
make
sure
I
understand
this
too.
I
mean
I
looked
at
this,
but
so
it
looks
so.
D
The
dimensional
characteristics,
I
think,
are
a
little
different
than
we're
used
to
to
be
honest
because
they,
the
14.3,
is
also
including
the
curve
like
the
whatever
you
call
it.
The
granite
turns
so
it
looks
like
it's
more
of
a
maybe
a
10
foot
existing
curb
cut
like
as
we're
traditionally
used
to
or
left
10
and
a
half
or
something
so,
but
it's
it's
it's
feeding
the
property
to
the
left.
Is
that
correct.
G
That
that's
correct
if
I
could
continue
and
that's
the
point
of
trying
to
make
that
there
is
an
existing
curb
cut,
which
provides
which
was
something
approved.
You
know
it's
not
consequential
for
determination.
The
outcome
of
this
appeal,
but
there's
an
existing
seven
foot
residential
driveway,
which
was
approved
for
the
property
at
779,
he's
probably
approved
by
this
board
three
or
four
years
ago
that
residential
driveway
exists.
The
curb
cut,
that
is,
there
exists
in
order
to.
D
Yeah,
if
you,
if
you
zoom
in
a
little
bit
more
you'll,
see
the
dimensions
on
here,
and
I
guess
I
was
trying
to
understand
so
for
the
throat
piece
I
guess
from
once
you
go
on
to
the
through
the
sidewalk
are:
is
that
a
sh
actually
a
shared
space
in
there?
Mr
morantzy,
in
terms
of
I
know,
they're
they're
traversing
a
property
line,
but
is,
is
that
how
they're
seeing
this.
G
My
clients
would
have
a
7.5
foot
wide
residential
driveway,
providing
access
to
the
two
parking
spaces
in
the
rear
which
are,
admittedly,
you
know,
not
both
well,
actually,
I
think
they
could
be
eight
and
a
half
by
twenty.
There
there's
a
there's
a
lot
of
space
there,
but
these
aren't
required
off
street
parking
spaces.
G
I
think,
if
again,
I
can't
control
what
the
board
is
looking
at,
but
there
is
a
perpendicular
space
which
is
approximately
20
feet
in
length
by
eight
and
a
half
feet
wide,
and
then
there
is
a
I'm
sorry
parallel
space
and
a
perpendicular
space,
which
is
somewhat
smaller.
The
violations
here,
I'm
gonna.
A
G
A
Yeah,
okay,
we
can
we
get
it
now,
so
you've
got
so.
I
I
it's
hard
for
me
to
imagine
that
we
approved
a
seven
and
a
half
foot
or
seven
foot
driveway.
I
mean
we
never
approved
driveways
that
are
smaller
than
10
feet
and
now
you're
asking
for
another
one.
That's
also
undersized
a
budding
one.
That's
currently
undersizing
I
mean
how
do
you
even
get
a
sizable
car
through
a
seven
foot,
driveway.
G
So
well,
we
can
speak
to
that.
I
have
to
point
out,
mr
oath,
that
there's
no
zoning
violation
and-
and
I
realize
that
mr
nico
has
has-
has
offered
his
input
on
this.
The
only
violations
here
are
for
the
width
of
the
driveway
which
which
enough
for
the
width
of
the
parking
spaces
or
the
size
of
the
parking
spaces.
A
D
G
Yeah,
it's
a
single
family
and
it
it
might
benefit
us
all
if
jocelyn
gambone
wore
to
be
unmuted
and
allowed
to
speak
aside
from
being
the
property
owner.
She
is
the
professional
engineer
and,
and
the
author
of
the
the
site
plan
that
we're
viewing.
So
if,
if
that
could
be
accomplished,
I
I
think
it
might.
D
Be
happening
I'll
I'll,
be
honest,
I
don't
I
I
think
it's
fine,
I
mean
I'm
okay
with
it.
I've
reviewed,
I
I
understand
it's
not
traditional,
but
I
think
to
me
based
on
the
condition
I
mean
I
don't
know
I
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
it
and
I
I
think
it's
a
minimal
adjustment
to
one
side
of
the
curb
cut
to
accommodate
two
off
street
parking.
I
mean
it's,
it's
not
perfect,
but
you
know.
I
think
I
don't
necessarily
have
an
issue
with
it.
In
terms
of
I
mean
I
think
we
can.
D
A
I
I
actually
would
like
to
hear
the
problem,
because
a
seven
foot
driveway
is
not
something
I
mr
ramsey
says
we
approved
it
before
on
the
the
budding
building.
I
I
don't
recall
in
my
entire
tenure
on
this
board,
never
approving
a
driveway
that
undersized
so
I
would
I
mean,
there's
them
some
cars
that
simply
wouldn't
fit
sure.
So
I
you
know
I
I'm
willing
to
hear.
If
a
proponent
is
an
engineer,
I'm
willing
to
hear
what
she
has
to
say.
J
Hi
everyone
good
evening,
it's
jocelyn
gimbone,
I
am
the
homeowner.
I
can't
speak
to
the
property
next
door
and
the
approval
process
there,
but
at
seven
and
a
half
feet
those
compact
parking
spaces
that
are
eight
feet
wide
which
allow
you
know,
doors
to
open
and
people
took
it
out.
So
at
seven
and
a
half
feet
to
traverse
down
the
driveway
without
opening
up
a
door
would
be
more
than
sufficient
in
my
opinion,
and
we
do
have
room
to
maneuver
two
cars
back
there.
J
I
think
one
thing
that's
important
to
point
out
in
apologies.
George,
if
you
already
did,
is
that
the
the
widening
of
the
curb
cut
does
not
result
in
any
loss
of
on-street
parking,
so
we're
just
widening
that
curb
cut
a
little
bit
and
then
we
can
get
two
cars
off
the
street
with
no
loss
of
on
street
parking.
J
J
D
I
mean
mr
erlick,
I
like
your
thought.
I
don't
know
if
it's
feasible,
if
you
know
just
rework
the
curb,
so
both
could
use
it
and
go
from
there.
I
mean,
if
there's
a
concern
about
the
oversized
curb
cut.
What
do
you
have
a
dimension
of
the
actual
clear
throat
width,
because
that's
kind
of
I
think
a
little
bit
more
traditionally
how
we
think
about
that,
like
it's,
not
dimensioned
on
these
drawings,
I
don't
know
exactly
yeah.
D
A
A
A
K
Hi,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board
haley
dylan,
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
The
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
Like
was
stated
before
our
main,
we
want
to
recognize
that
we
did
get
letters
of
opposition,
but
the
opposition
was
just
based
on
losing
an
off
street.
I
mean
an
on-street
parking
space
and,
as
it
was
stated
multiple
times
it,
no
off-street
parking
is
going
to
be
lost.
Thank
you.
B
E
B
Chairman
members
of
the
world-
and
I
call
it
from
councillor
fling's
office-
the
counselor
provided
an
opposition
letter
to
the
board
this
week
to
the
zoning
release
so
by
this
applicant.
Regarding
this
skirt
class,
he
had
her
concerns
from
neighbors
that
this
proposal
will
take
away
parking
in
the
area
where
parking
is
limited.
We
received
of
opposition
from
soma
borders,
neighbors
and
the
city
point
neighborhood
association,
who
are
concerns
about
this
proposed
cargo
extension.
Thank
you.
C
H
L
Diane
smith,
776,
east
broadway,
okay,
go
ahead
and
my
issue
may
have
been
addressed,
but
I'm
not
sure
because
one
of
the
gentlemen
recommended
a
single
curb
cut,
not
more
than
10
feet
wide.
So
does
that
mean
the
total
driveway
would
be
10
feet
wide?
Because
when
I
went
over
to
measure
myself,
the
entire
driveway,
including
the
flashes
were,
was
a
172
inches
which
is
14.33
feet
and
if
you
take
out
the
flashes,
that's
10
feet.
L
L
A
M
Hi,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
okay,
good
afternoon,
mr
eric
and
board
luanne,
o'connor,
sixth
shepton,
paris,
south
boston,
chair
city,
point
neighborhood
association,
so
the
city
point
neighborhood
association
voted
to
oppose
the
original
proposal,
for
this
curb
cut
a
while
back.
I
can't
remember
the
year
that
it
was
before
subcommittee
and
the
concerns
are
in
fact
the
length
of
that
curb
cut.
M
So
I
noticed
that
btd
weighed
in
and
I'm
wondering,
is
it
possible
to
have
a
city
official
from
btd,
or
perhaps
somebody
from
the
board
come
out
and
look
at
these
measurements,
because
many
of
us
have
actually
tried
to
measure
and
we're
just
not
coming
up
with
the
same
thing
that
the
proponents
are
so
with
the
five
feet
that
would
bring
that
curb
cut
beyond
where
their
house
comes
out.
So
if
you
bring
that
house
straight
out,
that
curb
cut
appears
to
be
going
beyond
that
line
as
well.
M
K
M
A
A
D
C
C
C
N
Sure
this
is
a
fairly
modest
proposal.
It
would
take
an
unfinished
basement
of
a
single
family
and
convert
it
into
a
functional
unit.
Historically,
this
house
was
a
multi-family
property.
It
originally
started
out
as
a
three
family
for
many
years
it
was
a
two
family
and
approximately
10
years
ago
the
owner
converted
it
into
a
single
family,
the
owner
now
desi
desires
to
make
it
back
into
two
functional
units.
A
Okay,
as
as,
typically
with
this
board,
we
don't
don't
necessarily
have
a
problem
expanding
going
from
a
single
to
a
two,
but
our
issue
about
making
a
basement
level
of
space
depends
on
the
relationship
between
the
floor
and
the
grade
and
whether
these
are
largely
underground
or
not.
So
could
you
please
give
us
the
dimensions
of
florida
grade
and
is
there
a
change
in
the
topography
of
the
lot?
Is
it
higher
at
one
point
lowered
another?
So
just
talk
walk
us
through
that.
N
N
O
O
A
O
D
Again,
this
is
a
one
that
I
I'm
not
sure
what
we
should
be
weighing
in
on.
To
be
honest,
because
I
think
it's
again
it's
it's
not
as
simple
as
I
think
the
proponent
is
sort
of
advocating.
I
understand
the
kind
of
concept
it
is,
but
I
also
see
I
I
believe,
a
lot
of
problems
with
what's
actually
being
proposed
from
a
it
is
a
studio
unit
and
there's
gas
utility
closets
water,
heater
closets
that
are
opening
directly
into
the
unit
which
is
not
allowed
in
a
multi-family.
D
Those
have
to
be
segregated
out
of
the
living
space.
You
can
so,
I
think,
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
issues
here.
To
be
honest,
that
are
not
even
just
zoning
related,
so
I
I
would
probably
recommend
you
know
defer
to
the
full
board
and
I
also
think
there's
no
dimensional
characteristics
of
how,
with
the
questions
you're
asking
in
terms
of
how
high
to
the
the
grade-
and
so
I
think
we
we
need
to
to
punt
this.
I
think,
unfortunately,.
A
D
I
was
I'm
leaning
in
that
direction,
but
I
hate
that
people
get
to
this
point
and
we
do
that,
but
I
think
that's
probably
the
right
move
on
this
one,
just
because
I
think
there's
enough
unquestionable
sort
of
conditions
that
I
they're
going
to
get
flagged
later
in
in
building
code
review
or
something
that
I
don't
think
will
be
acceptable.
So
I
think
we
should
I'm
I'm
happy
to
make
that
motion
if
well,.
K
Hi,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
haley
haley
dillon
mayor's
office.
Neighborhood
services
would
like
to
go
work
in
support
of
this
proposal.
I'm
sure
the
apple
can
speak
more,
but
this
is
a
a
different
situation
where
the
families
are
living
together.
They
see
their
own
separate
space,
so
I
think
what
you
guys
talked
about
with
the
the
things
having
to
be
separated
from
a
different
unit.
K
A
Just
to
comment
on
that
you
know
when
we
make
these
decisions
we
make
them
for
the
property
and
not
the
particular
situation
of
who
happens
to
be
living
there
at
the
given
moment,
because
they
may
not
be
there
in
10
years.
So
we
need
to
think
about
how
the
property
is
going
to
be
used
in
the
future.
So
anybody
any
other
testimony.
B
I
A
I
A
Okay,
we
we
only
can
approve
what's
in
front
of
us,
so
it
may
be
extremely
well
intentioned.
Then
you
may
have
already
thought
about
these
issues,
but
the
drawings
that
we
have
the
project
that
is
in
front
of
us
does
not
include
those
elements.
So
if
that's
the
case
that
we
have
a
number
of
administrative
options
to
push
the
the
project
back,
so
you
can
come
in
with
a
set
of
plans
that
shows
all
the
elevations
and
answers
the
questions.
A
H
H
A
D
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
defer,
I
think
I
think,
there's
merit
here,
I'm
not
sort
of
judging
on
that.
I
think
we
just
need
a
little
bit
more
information
to
make
the
decision,
so
I'd
make
a
motion
to
defer
to
give
the
proponent
some
time
to
clean
up
the
drawings,
make
sure
we
have
the
information
that
we
talked
about
in
terms
of
understanding
the
grade
the
height
to
grade
the
windows
to
grade
and
then
be
willing
to
listen
to
it
at
a
further
date.
C
D
Actually,
can
I
secretary
so
I
I
think,
and
I'm
not
not
judging
here,
but
they
will
need
to
resubmit
plans
to
isd
which
will
need
two
weeks,
probably
for
review.
I
think
the
date
should
be
further
out,
but
I
don't
want.
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
time
for
isd
to
review
if
they're
going
to
update
their
plans,
but.
C
C
C
Okay,
we'll
come
back
to
it.

you.

Okay,
go
to
the
next
case,
calling
voa
118-0850-302
lama
teen

This
is
to
demolish
the
existing

Please.
U
U
U
The
rear
also
has
a
deck
jammed
in
I'm
quite
sure.
These
were
not
built
per
per
with
a
permit,
and
the
proposal
back
there
is
to
demolish
the
deck
and
just
have
a
very
small
stoop
and
stairs
down
from
the
back
door
to
an
on-grade
terrace.
So
it
would
actually
improve
the
privacy
of
the
neighbors,
because,
right
now
you
know
they're
raised
up
three
feet
and
look
right
over
the
fence
on
two
sides
into
their
butters
yards.
U
A
U
Well,
if
you
look
at
a1,
you
can
see
the
existing
deck
is
seven
foot
eight
out
into
the
house,
I'm
sorry
that
doesn't
have
a
by
12
feet.
You
can
see
it's
filling
up
that
whole
space
and
the
proposed
stoop
is
just
three
and
a
half
by
four
and
a
half
feet.
Okay,
it's
just
fitting
it.
You
know,
literally,
that
you
can
step
out
on
and
walk
down
to
the
okay.

U

Yes,

with

Let's
go
on

and
support
this

The

jamaica,
plain

council
zoning
committee
on

where
they
were

where
they
received

through

abutters
process
conducted
by
the
previous
liaison
lindsay
santana,
no
concerns
were
raised
and
the
mayor's

does
not

this
will
negatively
impact

I'm
sorry

excessive
name

address

Please.
W
Hi,
my
name
is
meg
o'brien,
I'm
an
architect
on
the
project
representing
bob
and
jane
cohen,
at
73
person
street.
As
you
stated,
it
is
an
owner
of
occupied
unit
they're,
just
looking
for
for
some
additional
square
footage
for
care
that
they're
providing
to
their
two
grandkids.
So
the
goal
of
this
project
is
to
just
get
them
kind
of
their
own
space.
W
A
A
D
A
Can
can
we
see
them
on?
So
let
me,
let
me
tell
you
what
we
are
concerned
about
sure
we're
concerned
about
there's
a
key
you're,
putting
a
kitchenette
in
there,
and
the
concern
is
that
at
some
point,
if
there's
a
kitchen
up
there
and
the
two
means
of
egress,
that
it
would
become
a
separate
unit
in
and
of
itself,
either
to
be
rented
or
if
it's
owned,
sold
or
whatever,
and
so
we
have
been
historically
reluctant
to
include
our
kitchens
in
these.
In
the
this
type
of
extended
living
space.
W
Okay,
so
for
even
in
a
very
small
scope,
the
idea
behind
the
kitchenette
itself
is
that
bob
and
jane
would
be
providing
care
to
their
grandkids
in
the
basement
level
and
that
they
wouldn't
want
to
be
going
up
and
down
the
stairs
all
day.
So
this
is
just
a
really
small,
it's
tucked
into
that
bay
window,
so
it
would
just
be
like
an
under
counter
fridge,
a
very
small
sink
and
like
a
small
counter
space.
D
D
V
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services,
led
going
back
to
support
this
proposal.
The
mayor's
office
at
this
time
is
unaware
of
any
concerns
from
abutters.
Regarding
this
modest
proposal,
there
might
be
some
opposition.
They
did
not
have
a
chance
to
meet
with
the
local
neighborhood
civic
association.
D
C
Following
your
next
case,
calling
voa,
121,
3674,
26
bertson
avenue
this
is
to
confirm
occupancy
as
a
single
family,
an
addition,
a
second
story
and
a
rare
deck
of
an
existing
single
story.
Home
proposed
house
will
have
three
bedrooms:
two
full
baths:
a
half
bath
floor,
open
kitchen
design,
dining
living
room
and
access
to
the
basement.
The
lot
is
a
non-conformant
four
thousand
six
point,
eight
square
feet
and
the
lot
size
and
zoning
is
six
thousand
square
feet.
C
Y
So
I
am
the
owner
occupant.
I
am
proposing
a
second
story
addition
to
my
current
bungalow.
It
would
open
up
the
first
floor
plan,
allow
for
a
open
kitchen
and
then
the
second
story,
the
bedrooms.
The
two
on
the
first
floor
would
move
up
to
the
second
story
and
then
a
porch
in
the
front,
as
well
as
a
deck
in
the
back.
Y
D
C
H
Z
Z
D
So
there
are
decks
shown
on
the
drawings
front
and
rear,
so
I'm
not
sure
who
the
the
butter
is
if
they're
speaking
about
the
front
deck
or
the
rear
and
the
side
plan
is
sort
of,
I
would
agree
silent
on
the
parking
which
shows
a
it
looks
like
a
existing
single
curb
cut
in
you
know
one
space
existing.
I
assume
that
was
just
remaining
as
is,
but
the
proponent
can
clarify
that.
Y
Yep
there
is
an
existing
driveway
and
nothing
about
that.
Driveway
is
changing
and
the
rear
deck.
I
think
it
was
on
the
plans
that
we
showed
the
first
time
and
we
had
that
up
for
discussion,
because
we
were
still
looking
at
costs,
and
so
the
costs
were
comparable
when
we
changed
some
options
around
for
the
deck,
so
we
moved
to
a
deck
instead
of
a
patio.
D
A
D
C
I
will
second
that
motion
all
right
and
I'll
support
it
as
well.
The
motion
passes
following
the
next
case,
calling
boa
one
two,
three
four,
two,
six
one,
thirty
four
more
erode.
This
is
remove
the
existing
masonry
stairs
replaced
with
a
wood
frame
porch
and
stairs
the
violations.
Article
56
section,
eight
dimensional
regulations,
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
E
X
X
D
Yeah,
I
would
assume
that
it
is
incorrect.
I
mean
it's
a
it's
a
it's
kind
of
a
triangulated
lot
as
well,
so
there
it's
on.
You
know
on
a
corner.
So
all
so
it's
encroaching
it's
it's.
A
very
odd
shaped
lot
in
terms
of
sort
of
its
current
state,
but
it's
the
addition
is
of
the
front
deck
is,
is
not
pushing
closer
to
maury
road,
but
actually
toward
the
other
road
which
has
more
space.
AA
