I
A
J
K
K
K
The
intention
is
to
change
the
occupancy
from
single
family
to
to
family
dwelling,
to
accommodate
her
mother
in
one
of
the
units,
and
basically
the
house
is
an
existing
two
and
a
half
story,
single
family
home
on
a
pre-existing
non-conforming
lot
size
of
3752
square
feet,
and
the
intention
is
basically
to
propose
a
approximately
22
by
17
Edition
at
the
rear
of
the
house,
to
be
able
to
change
the
occupancy
from
single
family
to
two
family
dwelling,
basically
having
the
first
unit,
one
located
on
the
first
floor
with
two
bedrooms
and
two
bathrooms,
with
a
total
of
923
square
feet
of
living
space
and
unit
2
will
be
located
at
the
second
floor
in
attic
area.
K
This
unit
will
have
a
total
of
four
bedrooms
and
two
bathrooms
for
a
total
of
1
303
square
feet
of
living
space.
The
intention
is
to
demolish
a
pre-existing
edition
of
11
12
by
11
feet
and
a
existing
deck
on
the
first
floor
of
11
by
19
feet
to
come
back
with
a
with
this
new
addition
of
22
by
70
by
17
on
the
first
floor
and
second
floor.
K
In
addition,
which
is
basically
one
of
the
violations
as
well
the
excessive
Building
height,
the
intention
is
to
add
a
dormer
or
basically
looks
like
an
extension
of
an
existing
Dormer
on
the
right
side
of
the
house
towards
dire
Court,
to
be
able
to
add
that
extra
living
space
in
the
attic
and
have
those
two
bedrooms
with
the
bathroom
up
there,
I'm
open
for
an
any.
L
K
Absolutely
yeah,
we,
the
intention,
is
to
maintain
the
the
left
side.
If
you
look
at
the
plot
plan,
there's
an
existing
Green
Space
there
that
we're
trying
to
maintain
and
anything
related
to
buffering
as
needed
will
definitely
work
I'm
assuming
with
bpda.
Please
ignore
this
schematic
Saturn,
showing
two
parking
spots:
there's
only
one
there
existing
and
that's
the
one
that
is
going
to
stay
by
the
way.
Okay,.
M
Well,
good
evening,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Eric
James
of
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
applicant
for
21k
PhD,
held
their
Butters
meeting
on
September
6
2022..
They
met
with
the
rock
neighborhood
association,
which
issued
a
little
support,
stating
that,
after
reviewing
the
plans
and
discussing
the
plans
and
hearing
that
proper
notification
was
sent
to
The,
abutters
Rock
has
voted
to
approve
the
request
for
support
of
this
renovation
project.
M
N
H
J
K
Sure
should
I
say
my
name
again.
K
Make
sense
all
right:
okay,
so
good
afternoon,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Eileen
Rosa
I'm
from
Rosa
design
and
construction.
In
this
case,
I
am
the
applicant
representing
the
business
owner
of
this
proposed
nail
salon.
Unfortunately
she
was.
She
was
supposed
to
be
here
with
me
she's
on
her
way.
K
I
guess
it's
gonna
be
late,
but
anyways
we'll
move
on.
Basically,
the
intention
I
stated
I
stated
in
the
refusal
letter
is
to
change
the
occupancy
of
this
existing
commercial
unit
from
beauty
salon
to
nail
salon.
There
was
no
iteration
made
in
the
at
the
interior
of
this
unit,
other
than
cosmetic
to
accommodate
a
total
of
13
manicure
stations.
One
of
these
considered
a
handicap
accessible
one
and
three
pedicure
stations,
as
well
as
a
waxing
area
and
station.
L
A
A
Thank
you
may
I
have
a
public
testimony.
O
Good
evening
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Kevin
Tran
here
from
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
We
receive
no
concerns
from
the
butters
within
the
300
feet,
and
the
applicant
also
met
with
fuse
Corner
civic
association
on
December
6
of
2022,
and
they
would
like
to
support
this
project.
At
this
point,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
D
D
J
P
Yes,
Mr
secretary
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adams
and
moranti
business
address
of
168,
8th
Street
first
floor
South
Boston
with
me
today
are
the
owners,
Caitlin
and
Joe
renahan.
This
is
a
proposal
for
a
full
rehab
of
an
existing
one
family,
with
the
proposed
vertical
edition
of
a
second
floor
with,
along
with
an
attic
and
a
new
farmer's
porch,
the
existing
footprint
of
the
building
will
be
maintained.
The
Proposal
is
located
within
a
1f
5000
sub-district
watch
size
is
approximately
4
139
square
feet.
P
The
proposed
living
space
is
approximately
three
thousand
and
five
square
feet:
split
between
1035
square
feet
on
the
first
floor,
1035
square
feet
on
the
second
floor
and
935
square
feet
within
the
attic
first
floor
would
consists
of
an
entry,
foyer
living
room,
dining
room
kitchen
and
a
half
bath.
Second
floor
will
consists
of
a
master
bedroom
along
with
two
additional
bedrooms
master
bath
and
as
well
as
an
additional
full
bath.
Third
floor
will
consist
of
just
an
open
attic
space.
We
have
violation
for
the
far
we're
excessive
as
we're
proposing
a
0.73.
P
What
is
a,
what
is
allowed
by
code
is
a
0.5
Building
height
in
feet.
We
are
actually
compliant
we're
under
the
35
feet
as
we're
proposing
32
feet,
but
we're
excessive
in
stories.
What
is
compliant
is
2.5
stories
and
again
we're
we're
proposing
tree
stories.
We
have
a
violation
for
the
front
yard
setback.
It's
approximately
four
feet:
five
inches
to
the
beginning
of
the
farmer's
porch
in
an
approximately
10
feet,
6
inches
to
the
dwelling,
which
is
also
a
pre-existing
non-conforming
as
15
feet,
is
required
by
the
code
side.
P
Yard
violation
is
also
a
pre-existing
non-conforming
at
seven
feet:
seven
inches
on
the
right
hand,
side,
but
we're
over
compliancy
on
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
property.
And,
lastly,
the
last
violation
that
we
have
is
also
another
pre-existing.
Non-Conforming
is
the
rare
yard
setback
we're
at
17
feet
and
seven
inches
this
time,
I'm
going
to
pause
for
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
P
L
A
Q
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayors
office
Neighborhood
Services
this
time
the
mayor's
office
like
to
deferred
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
background
information,
the
community
process
on
S,
Health
and
Butter's
meeting
on
January
18th.
There
were
some
issues
with
some
residents
being
able
to
attend
with
the
meeting
link,
but
we
were
able
to
connect
them
with
the
applicant
and
get
them
the
information
that
they're
requested.
Q
Other
members
of
the
public
that
were
on
that
meeting
expressed
support
for
the
project
the
applicant
then
went
on
to
meet
with
the
Cedar
Grove
civic
association,
which
voted
unanimously
to
support
this
project.
With
that
we
referred
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank
you.
A
N
You
councilor
Murphy.
Thank
you,
chair
I,
know.
I
had
sent
a
letter
to
you
earlier,
but
I
just
wanted
to
go
on
record
to
say
that
I'm
in
support
of
this
project,
one
of
the
most
pressing
issues
our
office
receives
calls
about
is
the
rising
cost
of
living
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
this
is
a
young
family
trying
to
afford
to
stay
here
and
make
their
house
you
know
a
better
size
so
that
they
can
grow
their
family
and
stay
here
in
the
neighborhood,
so
I'm
in
full
support
of
this.
Thank
you
thank.
A
N
E
A
No
additional
race
camps.
Thank
you,
may
I
have
a
motion
thanks
motion.
A
Yeah
they
just
popped
up
after
we
were
you
looking
to
give
testimony
Mr
Fleming,
yes,.
E
R
Joseph
Fleming
and
I
am
the
owner
of
205
Milton
Street,
which
is
a
a
adjacent
to
the
address.
First
I
wanted
to
say
that
we
are
not
opposed
to
the
family,
adding
living
space
for
the
growing
family,
who
are
in
favor
of
that
we
know
it's
a
problem
for
the
city
and
we
understand
the
problem.
What
the
I
was
one
of
the
people
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
couple
comments.
R
It
was
described
as
one
flow
on
an
attic
I
just
wanted
to
understand
that
the
the
an
attic
and
the
building
code
is
not
Global
space,
that's
according
to
the
building
going,
and
that
was
why
the
building
code
stated
it
as
a
violation
of
the
stories,
because
an
attic
is
non-livable
season.
If
it
actually
was
an
addict,
then
it
wouldn't
have
violated
the
story,
because
you
folks
allowed
two
and
a
half
stories
so
I
had
a
I
had
asked.
R
I
tried
to
get
clarified
at
the
about
his
meeting,
but
I
was
muted,
I
tried
to
get
clarified
and
speaking
with
the
options,
but
I
couldn't,
but
the
attorney
has
has
clarified
that
date.
The
performance
on
the
plans
it's
still
static,
and
so
that
was
my
question
I
said,
is
an
Atticus
living
space
because
of
those
two
separate
things.
R
The
other
question
I
had
was
because
if
it
is
an
attic,
then,
unless
the
attic
was
living,
spaced
also
wouldn't
have
violated
the
idea
of
limitations,
because
I
think
that
it
would
mentioned
have
I
think
about
falling
139.
P
So
Madam
chair,
I,
was
unfortunately
I
was
not
a
part
of
the
actual
Community
process.
This
may
just
have
been
an
administrative
error
based
upon
the
architecturals
drawings,
as
referring
to
the
name
of
the
actual
room
itself.
P
You
know,
as
you
can
see,
from
the
drawings
itself,
there
are
in
those
in
that
third
level
what
they're
referring
to
as
an
addict.
It
clearly
has
three
windows
on
on
each
side.
You
know,
in
my
understanding
of
an
addict
typically
does
not
have
any
sort
of
Windows
for
natural
light
to
to
come
in
I'm,
not
again
so.
I
can't
really
comment
of
the
conversations
that
actually
took
place.
P
Referring
to
this,
as
you
know,
their
their
homeowners
they're
not
quite
familiar
with
the
process
and
when
they
were
presenting
they
potentially
could
have
made.
Some
sort
of
you
know
inadvertent
mistakes.
As
far
as
language
and
presenting
the
actual
proposal
to
the
neighborhood
I
know,
they've
been
very
responsive
to
Mr
Fleming,
as
he
did
have.
You
know
some
questions
that
were
relayed
and
they've
numerous
times
had
numerous
contacts
with
him.
P
A
Thank
you
was
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
Devotion
to
approve,
may
I
have
a
second.
D
D
J
A
Chair
also
votes,
yes,
the
motion
carries
and
I
would
just
encourage
the
applicant
to
continue
dialogue
with
their
neighbor.
S
S
We
already
did
that.
Thank
you.
Okay,
okay,
I
was
located
62
Captain
Street
I
would
like
to
request
releases
from
the
board
of
appeal
for
the
variance,
because
I
had
an
addition
forward
to
my
existing
property.
My
house
was
built
in
1910
and
I
have
been
living
this
house
since
July
6,
202.
I,
want
to
legalize
occupancy
as
a
single
family,
residence
along
the
Canadian
Edition
to
the
real
food
marath
for
standing,
the
kitchen

Good

the

an

2022..
They
met
with
the
rock
neighborhood
association,
which
all
gave
them
a
letter
of
support,
stating
that
the
members
of
rock
fully
support
this
endeavor
as
they
look
forward
to
ensuring
that
the
residents
are
given
the
opportunity
to
stay
in
their
community.
M
So
as
of
now,
we
have
two
letters
of
support
and
one
petition
with
what,
with
nine
names
or
nine
signatures
on
it,
we
have
zero
letters
of
opposition,
and
at
this
time
we
are
deferring
our
judgment
to
the

Thank

was
held
due
to
it
only
being
a
change
in
ownership
for
takeout,
and
the
Civic
didn't
feel
need
to
comment
on
the
project,
since
it's
only
a
change
in
occupancy,
and
at
this

we
would
like
to
defer

to

Just

Okay.
Without

I
have
public

C
Yes,
good
evening,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Santana
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
Noah
Butter's
meeting,
was
held
for
this
proposal,
but
they
did
receive
support
from
local
community
members
as
well
as
the
Roxbury
main
streets,
and
at
this
point
we
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
E
U
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
Robert,
George
executive,
director
of
walks,
Bay
main
streets
and
we're
eager
to
support
this
location
as
a
p,
as
the
owner
previously
stated,
they
already
have
business
in
Nubian
square
and
a
asset
to
the
community.
This
new
location
is
ideal.
It
serves
as
a
welcoming
Archway
into
new
green
square
coming
off
of
Warren
Street
and
since
they
have
in
the
past,
been
such
good
Neighbors
in
the
district,
and
this
location
is
ideal
for
for
them.
U
A
D
D
J
P
Yes,
Mr
secretary
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adamson
morency
business,
address
of
168,
8th
Street,
first
floor,
South
Boston.
This
is
a
proposal
to
change
the
occupancy
from
an
existing
one-family
dwelling
to
a
two-family
dwelling
by
way
of
interior
rehab.
Only
the
building
footprint
will
be
maintained
on
page
two
of
the
drawings
it
shows
the
existing
interior
layout
as
six
bedrooms
and
two
kitchens,
which
appears
to
have
been
an
actual
two
family
without
the
legal
occupancy.
P
The
building
consists
of
three
stories
in
a
basement,
a
basement
which
is
a
full
walk
out
into
the
rear
yard.
The
proposed
unit,
one
will
consist
of
approximately
979
square
feet,
will
be
a
three
bedroom
located
on
the
first
floor
in
the
kitchen
and
the
living
room
located
within
the
basement,
as
it
is
now
currently
located.
Please
note
that
the
again
please
note
that
the
original
kitchen
was
previously
in
the
basement
and
will
remain
in
the
same
location.
P
The
proposed
unit
2
will
consist
of
a
approximately
Eleven
Hundred
and
three
square
feet,
which
will
also
be
a
three
bedroom
located
on
the
second
and
third
floor.
A
second
means
of
egress
has
been
added
to
the
rear
of
the
property
which
resulted
in
our
rear
yard
setback
violation.
We
are
compliant
from
the
rear
yard
to
the
actual
dwelling
at
37
feet,
but
non-compliant
to
the
egress
stairs
at
18
feet.
What
is
compliant
is
20
feet.
P
We
also
have
a
violation
for
insufficient
parking,
as
we
do
not
have
the
ability
to
provide
any
off
street
parking,
we
would
be
required
to
provide
1.5
for
this
additional
unit.
Lastly,
we
have
violations
for
insufficient
lot
size
and
additional
lot
size
as
the
lot
size
is
currently
1698
square
feet,
and
we
would
be
required
to
provide
2
000
square
feet
for
that
first
unit,
which
is
pre-existing
non-conforming
and
an
additional
thousand
square
feet
for
the
second
unit
that
we're
proposing
at
this
time,
I'm
going
to
pause
for
any
questions
or
comments.
P
Actually,
yes,
so
the
sailing
height
to
the
basement
is,
is
approximately
a
little
over
eight
feet
in
the
basement,
as
you
can
see
from
the
elevation
drawing
on
the
right
side,
elevation
drawing
if
you
continue
to
scroll
down
actually
right
here.
So
this
actually,
you
can
actually
see
from
here.
P
P
Yes,
there
should
be.
There
should
be
some
some
closets
actually
in
the
bedrooms
itself.
I
think
that's
where
the
the
little
square
lines
in
the
in
the
dimensions
are
being
drawn.
I,
don't
see
any
physical
like
door
showing
the
actual
bedroom
itself,
but
that's
where
they're
supposed
to
be
located.
Okay,.
Q
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
our
office
held
in
a
Butters
meeting
on
January
9th,
where
five
people
were
in
attendance.
We
did
receive
one
phone
call
to
our
office
where
the
resident
expressed
opposition
to
this
proposal,
but
have
not
heard
anything
further
beyond
that.
With
that
we
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank
you.
E
I
do
have
a
raised
hand
here.
Second
Melissa
you
looking
to
give
testimony
here.
If
so,
can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record
and
briefly,
let
us
know
if
you're
in
support
of
opposition.
V
Come
evening
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
Melissa
from
counselor
Flint's
office.
We
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
thanks.
A
P
Yes,
Mr
secretary
Madam,
chairman
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz
Adams
and
moransi
business
address
of
168,
8th,
Street,
first
floor,
South
Boston
we're
actually
here
today
seeking
a
deferral
for
two
for
two
matters
on
this
deferral,
we're
asking
first
one
being
is.
We
would
like
to
revisit
We've
made
some
substantial
changes
to
the
plans,
we'd
like
to
revisit
a
second
of
Butter's
meeting
to
show
those
changes
to
the
community.
That's
part,
one
part
two.
P
It
was
actually
just
discovered
last
week
that
this
property
is
subjected
to
the
mass
historic
inventory
list
so
which
we're
going
to
have
to
go
through
Boston
Lamar's
commission
and
probably
make
some
design
changes
to
the
actual
structure
itself.
So,
based
on
those
two,
we
would
like
to
request
a
deferral
in.
P
Yes,
so
that
is
it
existing
so
that
so
that
curb
cut
is
actually
pre-existing.
It
is
a
it's
called
Dean
way,
so
there's
neighbors
and
it's
within
everyone's
deed,
that
they
have
legal
access
to
access
for
cars,
walking
or
any
other
sort
of
instance
in
the
other.
Emboding
properties
on
d-way
have
full
access
to
that
driveway
and
parking
in
the
rear
of
the
Yards,
but
I
definitely
will
also.
P
I
would
say:
I
would
say
just
to
be
on
the
safe
side.
I
would
say
about
a
two-month
duration
and
I
believe
that's
probably
what
you're
scheduling
out
as
that's.

Madam,
chair
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening.
This
is
a
request
to
change
the
Zoning
for
the
commercial
space
of
this
mixed-use
building.
I
first
would
like
to
ask
that
we
strike
and
remove
the
request
for
the
gym
fitness
area
as
a
Proviso
that
was
proposed
as
a
use
that
is
forbidden
and
with
the
community
process.
The
found
that
agree
us
to
their
condition.
Y
Therefore,
we're
going
to
remove
that
and
request
that
be
removed
from
this,
and
the
focus
of
this
request
is
the
conditional
use
of
the
bank
or
on
the
left
side
and
the
retail
Bakery
core
in
the
middle,
which
are
both
conditional
uses
in
this
District.
A
Q
Yes,
Madam

At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
we've
had
a
long
Community
process.
With
this,
our
Butters
meeting
was
held
on
January
3rd,
very
well,
attended
27
residents
who
are
in
attendance.
Q
The
community
was
very
outspoken
that
they
did
not
want
a
gym
at
this
location.
Regarding
concerns
about
noise
and
vibrations.
For
those
who
live
inside
the
building,
the
other
two
uses
residents
seemed
okay
with
and
that's
all
the
information
I
have
at
this
time,
I
will
defer
to
the
Judgment
this

A
Q
V
A
AB
My
name
is
James
Green
I'm,
an
attorney
at
Reuben
and
Rudman
at
53,
State
Street
in
Boston
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
jno
parking,
the
owner
and
operator
of
the
parking
lot
I
believe
Janeiro
and
julo
may
be
also
on.
But
this
is
a
parking
lot.
That's
been
in
operation
between
Canal
Street
and
French
Street
and
the
downtown
North
area
of
Boston.
It's
been
a
parking
lot
since
1967
and
has
been
subject
to
board
of
appeal
review
approximately
nine
times
the
tradition
for
an
off
open
space.
AB
Parking
lot
is
the
board
of
appeal
and
usually
puts
a
grants
to
conditional
use
permit,
but
it's
for
a
term
of
four
years
or
three
years.
So
the
last
few
Board
of
appeal
approvals
have
been
for
three
years:
we're
seeking
another
three-year
term
which
would
bring
us
to
December
2025
unless
the
Lord
it
wants
to
extend
it
further.
At
the
last
Board
of
appeal
meeting
Hearing
in
2019,
the
board
asked
that
the
project
for
the
parking
lot
be
subject
to
further
design
and
Landscaping
and
improvements
which
we
did
during
the
pandemic.
AB
We
hired
Ryan
Conner
an
architect
and
planner
to
incorporate
some
landscaping
and
trees
on
friend
Street.
We
couldn't
do
that
on
Canal
Street
because
of
the
location
of
the
MBTA
tunnel,
but
we
did
get
the
Landscaping
accomplished
and
we
also
added
some
wrought
iron
fencing
which
would
cover
the
security
fencing
on
the
lot.
This
lot
is
a
a
tendon
lot.
It's
not
an
a
Patron
parking,
only
an
attendant
is
there
from
7
A.M
in
the
morning
till
6
p.m.
AB
AB
My
client
intends
to
also
improve
the
signage,
but
that's
dependent
upon
BTD,
approving
that
BTD
approves
the
signage
and
also
the
the
parking
rate.
So
we
we,
the
board,
does
approve
this.
We
intend
to
go
to
BTD
and
streamline
the
signage
and
also
improve
the
attendance
Booth,
which
is
on
the
lot
and
to
make
it
more
attractive.
AB
We
have
met
with
the
West
End
civic
association
four
years
ago,
had
this
support
entered
into
a
good
neighbor
agreement
with
the
civic
association,
and
they
have
also
reviewed
this
again
this
year
and
indicated
that
they
have
no
opposition
to
this
and
therefore
I'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
from
the
boy
Madam
chair
or
members
of
the

AE
Yes,
my
name
is
Quang
Chan
I'm,
the
general
manager
of
VB
Cafe.
We
have
taken
over
a
Subway
that
used
to
occupy
230,
Tremont
Street
and
that
it's
been
in
the
works
for
over
coming
up
to
two
years,
because
we
used
to
have
one
at
a
182,
Mass,
half
near
the
Berkeley
music
and
that
closed
down
back
in
August.
So
we
and
then
at
that
time
we
expedited
this
location.
Then
we
find
out
after
the
constructions
has
been
all
signed
off.
AA
Afternoon
I'm
chair
and
member
Ford,
two
different
marriages,
Services
a
virus
meeting
was
held
for
this
opponent
on
June
7th
of
last
year.
There
were
no
concerns
raised.
V
J
AF
You
know,
holding
in
from
the
edges
and
they'd
like
to
do
a
smaller,
shed
Dormer
in
the
front
to
get
a
master
bath
in
we're
we're
under
on
the
far,
but
we
have
to
go
for
a
restricted
roof,
district
and
Street
alignment,
which
I'm
not
sure
why
on
Street
alignment,
but
that's
basically
the
project
and
we
worked
with
the
the
our
neighbor
on
the
other
side
of
the
party
wall
closely
with
regard
to
the
dorm
or
they
just
wanted
to
hold,
wanted
us
to
hold
it
further
away,
which
we've
done
so
that's
a
project.
AF
L
They're
pretty
straightforward:
no,
the
building
footprint
isn't
changing.
No.
AF
Q
Oh

Phantom

members
of

Conor

At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
are
the
new
Zone
had
the
applicant
flyer,
the
neighborhood,
and
we
received
two
letters
of
support
from
the
butters
with
that
we
deferred
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank
you.
D
F
F
F
Q
Oh
yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Conor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
at
the
sound
of
Mayors,
also
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
this
board,
or
our
liaison
had
the
applicant
circuit
a
notice
to
a
Butters
within
300
feet.
We
did
not
hear
of
any
concerns
related
to
this
project
with
that
we'd
refer
to
this
board.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
A
I
have
a
raised
hand
here,
any
other
race,
dance
Jessica.
What
Devon
are
you
looking
to
give
testimony.
AG
I,
can
it's
actually
Jennifer
Hurley?
He
sorry
this
is
my
daughter's
computer.
AG
We're
at
17
I
mean
we're
at
31,
and
the
gentleman
architect
identified
Sackville
Street
I
believe
he
meant
if
this
is
about
17,
Alston
Street.
That's
what
we
wanted
to
talk
about.
I
didn't
I
spoke
to
Neighbors
on
the
street.
I,
don't
believe
we
received
any
notice
I'm
in
a
Butters
meeting.
There
are
several
people
that
have
concerns.
There
are
four
things
listed
on
the
appeal
about
the
excessive
stories:
feet,
side,
yard
and
rear
yard
insufficiencies,
and
none
of
us
know
what
that's
about,
because
we
didn't
know
about
any
meeting.
F
AG
So
several
of
us
did
not
receive
notice
about
the
meeting
to
understand
what
is
being
done,
not
that
we
we
want
something
done.
It's
been
an
eyesore
for
two
years
we've
been
waiting,
they
don't
like
I've
complained.
They
don't
take
in
the
trash
there's
raccoons
living
there,
there's
been
complaints
to
the
the
animal
board,
and
so
just
no
offense
they.
It
has
not
been
a
good
neighborhood
situation
and
then
we
get
a
notice
that
they
have
four
different
violations
that
they
need
to
change,
but
we
don't
know
what
they
are.
AG
A
You
that
that
I
will
leave
that
to
on
us
to
figure
out,
and
you
know
I
would
encourage
the
applicant
to
just
you
know,
engage
in
dialogue,
dialogue
about
it.
With
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
L
Foreign
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve,
with
bpd's
design,
review
and
and
just
sort
of
for
the
applicant
to
go
back
and
and
sort
of
review
the
violations
I
think
most
of
them
are
pre-existing
with
the
neighborhood
yeah.
A
A
Thank
you
may
I
have
a
second.
D
D
F
Thank
you.
Is
there
any
way
for
me
to
like
put
my
phone
number
out
for
people
to
to
reach
out
the
neighbors.
A
Mr
zackerson
I'll
say
the
MS
Hurley.
He
is
still
waiting
for
a
phone
number.
If
you
want
to
drop
that
before
we
before
we
end
okay,
given
their
there
don't
seem
to
be
present,
I
will
suggest
a
deferral
if
anyone
would
like
to
make
that
motion.
J
D
A
B
Step
so
if
we
give
them
to
the
next
full
Board
hearing,
because
we
already
noticed
it
for
that-
you
want
to
do
that.
H
B
Okay,
so
that'll
be
April
6th
yeah.
