mr

F
Thank
you,
madam

good
morning.
The
first
order
is
extensions.
The
first
two
cases
case

west
7th
street
and
there's
a
companion
case,
508

209,
to
213
tudor
street.
Madam
chair.
We
approved
these
last
week
on
june
22nd,
so
it's
just
a
formality.
They're
withdrawing
these
two
excellent.
F
Motion
to
I
don't
know
if
there
aren't
going
to
prove
so
motion
to
deny
without
prejudice.
F
A
Yes,
and
let
me
just
let's
reiterate
that
this-
the
extension
was
approved
for
one
year
at
the
last
meeting.
F
F
A
Aye
aye
aye,
any
opposed
motion
carries
so
you're
extended
from
one
year
from
july.
12Th.
I
F
Follow
your
next
case
calling
boa
874

0
street
manager.
This
was
a
court
case.
The
decision
was
entered
into
february,
8th
of
2019.,
maybe.
F
N
N
I
am
begging
the
awards
indulgence
here
because
just
like
my
asking
for
405
to
be
heard
at
this
time,
mr
fortune,
the
pandemic
has
had
its
impact
even
on
my
clients,
in
the
in
the
respect
that,
while
this
case
is
this
is
a
dnd
project
which
my
client
was
successful
in,
but
they
failed
to
do
in
the
timing.
When
there
were
some
changes
made
after
negotiations
with
dnd,
they
failed
to
resubmit
it
to
the
plan
examiner
to
get
the
letter
which
says
that
there
are
no
additional
violations,
which
is
the
case
here.
N
But
again.
I
know
the
board
wants
confirmation
of
that.
So
when
it
was
brought
to
my
attention,
I
said
I
needed
to
make
this
request.
Madam
cheer
members
of
the
board
for
an
extension.
It
has
been
submitted
to
the
plant
examiner.
So
if
it
is
within
your
wisdom
and
your
ability
to
do
so,
I
would
ask
to
be
able
to
come
back
in
about
two
weeks
in
order
to
present
the
case,
which
is,
as
I
stated,
a
dnd
sponsored
project
which
my
client
was
successful
in
winning.

Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
mark
lukas
the
cast
law
75
arlington
street
in
boston.
We
are
seeking
a
deferral
in
this
matter
in
order
to
continue
our
discussions
with
the
civic
groups.
Although
we've
had
three
community
meetings
and
one
abutter
meeting,
we've
had
a
request
for
one
more
abundant
meeting
to
iron
out
the
remaining
issues
and
therefore
we
would
ask
for
a
deferral.
O
I
F
This
is
the
change
of
office
from
nine
executive
suites
to
nine
residential
units,
the
violation,
article,

This
is

and

P
Morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lynch
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
dcm
realty
llc,
madam
chair.
Just
by
way
of
brief
background,
this
project
was
built
as
a
matter
of
right
under
article
53
permanent
building
permit
issued
with
no
zoning
relief
necessary.
P
As
the
board
is
well
aware,
the
zoning
commission
adopted
the
zoning
amendment
rendering
executive
suites
at
conditional
use,
including
this
sub
district,
which
is
the
economic
development
area.
Our
proposal
at
this
time
is
to
change
the
legal
occupancy
from
executive
suites
to
residential
use.
As
the
board
can
see,
the
building
is
already
constructed.
It
is
built
under
the
building
permit
that
was
issued.
The
building
was
built
in
accordance
with
all
the
dimensional
requirements
as
set
forth
in
the
eda
again,
as
the
board
may
be
aware
within
the
eda,
residential
use
is
ironically
forbidden.
P
So
our
proposal,
before
the
board
and
consistent
with
the
city
policy
to
eliminate
executive
suite
uses
or
short-term
rental
uses,
is
to
bring
this
into
a
more
conforming
use
for
the
for
the
area,
but
it
would
be
non-conforming
for
purposes
of
what's
in
the
eda.
P
My
understanding
is
that
the
bpda
has
recommended
approval
for
this
project,
based
upon
the
fact
that
this
is
consistent
again
with
the
city
policy
relative
to
executive
executive
suites.
I
can
run
through
quickly
and
madam
chair
and
again
these
are
all
existing
conditions,
as
this
structure
has
already
been
constructed,
there
are
a
mix
of
would
be
a
mix
of
two
and
one
bedroom
units
ranging
in
size
from
about
700
square
feet
up
to
about
915
square
feet.
P
The
building
is
serviced
by
an
elevator,
so
it
would
have
appropriate
accommodations
for
persons
with
disabilities
for
the
building
with
respect
to
the
height
of
the
building.
Again,
this
was
built
in
accordance
with
article
53,
we're
actually
below
the
height
limit.
That
is
permitted
in
the
district,
which
is
45
feet
and
we
do
provide
a
total
of
nine
off-street
parking
spaces
and
again
this
was
in
accordance
with
the
building
permit
that
was
issued
under
the
zoning
code.
It
does
state
that
residential
use
actually
has
a
higher
requirement
for
parking.
P
However,
I
can
point
out
that
article
53
also
provides
that
where
dwelling
units
or
units
already
exist,
you're
only
required
to
provide
parking
for
the
units
that
that
you're
adding
and
we
are
not
adding
any
units.
The
nine
units
that
were
approved
in
the
executive
suites
again
were
approved
as
a
matter
of
right.
So
with
that,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
with
respect
to
this
project.
A
So
counselor,
I
miss
any
roof
tax
proposed
on
this.
P
The
requirement
under
article
53
for
the
eda
was
met
with
the
original
building
department.
That
is
correct.
A
Okay,
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
B
Yeah,
I
have
a
couple
questions.
How
long
has
this
been
used
as
executive
suites.
P
B
And
there
is
no
code
or
any
kind
of
requirement
to
make
what
have
been
designed
as
executive
suites
appropriate
for
residential
use.
It's
exactly
the
same
floor
plans.
P
P
I
believe
construction
started
a
little
over
probably
a
year
ago.
The
reason,
obviously
a
couple
of
reasons-
one
you
know
the
pandemic
has
obviously
changed
the
dynamic
with
respect
to
commercial
type,
rentals
and
certainly
the
city's
position
on
executive
suites.
I
think,
has
certainly
changed
the
thinking
on.
B
P
I
can
get
the
exact
dates,
mr
ehrlich,
the
permit.
I
am
certain
the
permit
issued
prior
to
the
zoning
change
before
the
city
for
the
city
with
respect
to
executive
suites,
the
construction
of
the
project,
I
believe,
started
just
a
little
over
a
year
ago.
I
can
confirm
the
dates,
but.
B
P
And
I
understand
tonight
I
can
I
can't
let
the
board
know
that
originally
this
project
was
looked
at
for
residential
use.
There
was
resistance
from
the
neighborhood
on
the
project.
The
only
allowed
use
was
a
residential
type
use
would
have
been
executive,
suites,
hotel,
motel,
etc,
so
that
the
applicant
did
proceed
as
a
right,
and
you
know
with
the
understanding
that
they
would
operate.
These
executive
suites,
however,
has
made
a
change
or
has
decided
to
make
the
change
for
residential,
so.
B
Now
you're
so
now
you're
proposing
that
they
get
what
they
originally
wanted.
That
was
abandoned
because
neighborhood
opposition
that's
correct.
Okay,.
Q
R
Q
The
the
amendment
to
the
zoning
code
that
dealt
with
the
executive
suites
was
approved
by
the
zoning
commission
in
january
of
2020..
I
don't
know
if
that
puts
any
contacts
to
win
this
yeah
when
this
building
received
their
permits
for
construction,
but
it
was
over
a
year
ago.
A
Okay,
quick
question:
mr
rogerio.
S
C
P
P
A
So
the
eda
requirements
basically
have
a
few
yard
requirements
if
right.
What
happened
to
modal
front
yard,
about
respecting
modal
front
yard,
because
it
looks
like
the
butters
are
set
back
a
bit,
and
this
one
goes
directly
to
the
sidewalk.
P
Right
so
I'm
sharing
my
understanding
under
article
53.
He
has
two
dimensional
requirements:
the
really
are
20
feet
and
the
height
actually
three
dimensional
requirements
that
rear
down
at
20
feet,
the
height
of
45
feet
maximum
and
an
far
2.0.
Those
are
the
only
setback
and
dimensional
requirements.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
Is
anybody
here
to
speak
either
in
support
or
in
opposition
of
this
proposal?.
T
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
lina
tramelli
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
under
preparing
acquisition
for
this
proposal
during
the
community
process.
This
proposal
receives
strong
opposition,
sorry
from
harvard
viewing
good
association
and
from
our
parents
who
are
concerns
about
the
residential
density
in
an
economic
development
area
and
the
fact
that
this
project
changed
after
being
approved
by
the
board.
Also
residents
are
concerned
and
frustrated
about
the
way
the
applicant
applied
for
this
project
to
get
the
maximum
of
variances
after
approved.
Thank
you.
A
So
lina,
if
I
get
this
correctly
they're,
not
opposed
to
the
residential
use,
they
are
opposed.
The
number
of
units.
T
They
yeah
they
are
opposed
about,
like
the
how
the
whole
process
went
through,
because
they
were
opposing
about
the
the
number
of
like
stories
and
the
density
of
the
building.
How
is
massive,
but
they
knew
that
they
could
not
oppose
if
they
were
applied
for
residential
for
executives,
but
when
it
comes
to
the
residential,
they
have
a
different
variances
to
to
relief.
U
Thank
you
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
ricardo
patron
from
the
office
of
city
councilor,
lydia
edwards.
The
counselor
would
also
like
to
go
on
the
record
in
opposition
to
this
proposal,
as
lena
mentioned
from
the
mayor's
office.
The
way
that
this
proposal
kind
of
went
through
the
process
took
away
the
community's
ability
to
weigh
in
on
what
the
building
would
look
like,
and
for
that
reason
the
council
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
in
opposition.
U
A
Ricardo,
a
quick
question
for
you,
so
besides
the
and
I
totally
understand
the
issues
with
the
process
of
getting
to
these
nine
residential
units,
was
there
an
issue
with
the
number
of
units
and
the
bedroom
count.
U
That
didn't
come
up
in
in
my
conversations
with
the
abutters,
I
think
it
would
have
had
an
actual
community
process
taken
place
and
that's
that's
really.
I
think
the
heart
of
the
issue
is
that
the
community
didn't
have
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
on
those
types
of
questions
during
the
process
and
now
the
building
is
is
built
it's
there
and
so
those
kind
of
concerns.
A
U
P
Madam
chair,
I
just
want
to
clarify
for
the
record.
I
just
did
some
research
well,
the
building
permit
for
this
actually
issued
at
the
end
of
2018
and
construction
began
in
2019
in
earnest.
So
that
was
well
before
the
zoning
amendment
to
change
from
the
executive
suites.
It
was
issued
by
wright
without
any
any
pending
zoning
change,
121
addison
street.
I'm
sorry
125
addison
street,
which
this
board
had
heard
previously
was
pending
during
the
zoning
amendment
change
this
board
denied
that,
based
on
executive
suites.
A
Okay,
miss
ambassador.
Are
we
all
set.
F
Up
secretary,
yes,
sorry,
we
have
a
few
letters
of
support.
We
also
have
two
letters
of
opposition,
basically
saying
the
same
thing:
that
council,
edwards
and
the
mayor's
office
spoke
in
regards
to.
L
Okay
and
manchester,
I
do
have
five
raised
hands
at
the
moment.
I'll
start.
A
Okay,
a
miss
ambassador.
I
just
want
to
make
be
clear
that
we
will
hear
from
three
people.
It
is
already
almost
10
and
we
do
have
a
number
of
cases
ahead
of
us.
L
W
Sure,
good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
of
this
board,
my
name
is
richard
scaramosa.
I
live
at
135
addison
street.
I
am
a
lifelong
resident
and
in
addison
street
of
butter
I
am
in
opposition,
and
I
feel
it
is
important
before
a
motion
is
made
that
the
history
of
this
119
addison
street
be
told
on
march
of
2017.
A
Let
me
we
we
understand,
do
we
understand
your
feelings
and
understand
the
history,
and
so
I
understand
that
that
might
be
the
reason
why
you're
opposed,
but
just
let
me
ask
you
two
is
give
me
a
sense
of
that
street.
Is
it
a
one
or
two?
What's
the
sense
of
the
street,
because
this
is
a
request
for
nine
units.
W
A
W
A
L
X
L
R
Yes,
hi,
my
name
is
edward
fitzgerald.
I
live
at
131,
addison
street
long
life
resident
second
family
generation,
and
I
oppose
this.
This
building
did
not
give
the
community
the
right
to
be
heard.
This
building
was
proposed
under
residential
and
got
denied
and
they
just
found
a
loophole.
They
think
to
rebuild
this.
This
is
40
feet
and
it's
nine
units.
Like
mr
chandler
said
we
are
mostly
single-family
house.
This
building
sticks
out
like
a
sore
thumb.
A
Miss
ambassador
one
more
person
and
then
we
will
move
to
a
discussion
by
the
board.
Yep.
Y
L
Z
Anthony
forbes
56
wordsworth
street.
Yes,
I
am
a
resident
lifelong.
My
family's
lived
here
for
generations.
This
project
is
absolutely
massive
in
comparison
to
the
houses.
Next
to
it,
I
lived
behind
it.
It
took
away
all
my
privacy,
I
didn't
have
any
say
in
how
far
back
this
was
going
to
come.
Z
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
okay,
so
so
the
board.
We
understand
what
what
the
sense
of
the
street
is
one
and
two
families
lower
density,
but
we
need
to
recognize
that
zoning
wise
this
was
for
the
most
part
built
as
a
fright.
A
This
is
a
request
to
change
the
use
from
executive,
suites
red
nine
units.
I
think
the
question
for
us
is
that,
given
that
the
building
is
already
constructed,
the
question
becomes:
is
the
density,
something
that
we
can
condone
or
not
in
our
in
our
decision.
C
A
Mr
lens,
no,
this
the
board
is
in
discussion
right
now.
May
I
hear
from
other
board
members
please.
B
Yeah,
I
I
find
this
hard
to
swallow.
They
they
obviously
use
the
executive,
suites
mechanisms
way
of
avoiding
community
opposition
which
would
have
gotten
a
less
dense
building
and
now
that
executive
suites
are
no
longer
approved,
they
want
to
switch
back
saying
that
the
building's
already
done.
I
I,
when
you're
ready
for
the
motion,
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
tonight.
A
C
A
A
Motion
carries
mr
lens.
I
think
that
perhaps
there's
little
that
can
be
done
on
the
building,
but
there
is
something
that
can
be
done
on
the
density,
so
maybe
that's
something
your
owner
can
have
can
figure
out.
Okay,
let's
move
to
the
next
case.
F
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
the
extension
because
I
think
o
street
is
on
so
back
into
the
record,
calling
voa
874
670-100
street
mountain
chair.
This
was
the
court
case.
If
we
grant
this
to
be
their
first
extension,
the
decision
was
entered
back
in
february,
8th
of
2019,
maybe
that
just
for
the
record.
Y
Yeah,
my
name
is
nancy
manucci
ken
o
street,
so
we
got
approved
a
little
over
two
years
ago
and
miss.
J
A
F
C
A
Okay,
so
this
is
so
this
liga,
so
this
is
a
five
member
board
it's
to
the.
If,
if
the
applicant
decides
to
go
ahead,
please
know
that
you
need
all
five
board
members
in
support
of
it.
There
is
also
the
option
to
request
the
deferral
until
there
is
a
board,
a
more
robust
board,
mr
linz,
what
is
what
is
your
decision.
P
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Remember
the
board
richard
lynch
245
sumner
street
east
bost,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
manager.
I
I
feel
that
with
the
history
of
this
project
and
the
modifications
that
we've
made,
we
have
no
choice
but
to
go
for
with
the
five
member
board
and
we
feel
that
the
merits
of
this
certainly
trigger
in
the
support
of
the
board.
Once
you
hear
our
presentation.
P
Thank
you
so,
madam
chair
and
three
of
the
members,
this
project,
you
may
recall,
was
before
the
board
previously
for
a
similar
four
unit
building,
which
did
require
relief
for
some
of
the
dimensional
requirements
under
article
53..
This
property
is
located
in
the
corridor
enhancement
district
of
east
boston,
which
has
some
very
flexible
zoning.
Unlike
a
lot
of
the
3f
and
2f
districts,
one
of
the
uses
not
to
draw
contrast
to
the
last
case
that
we
heard
but
multi-family
use
is
permitted
as
a
matter
of
right.
P
In
the
quarter
enhancement
district,
we
are
proposing
a
four
unit
building
that
meets
every
dimensional
requirement
under
article
53,
including
open
space
and
rear
side
inside
here
at
setback,
as
well
as
modal
setback.
On
the
front,
we
do
provide
a
total
of
five
parking
spaces.
The
five
parking
space
layout
was
previously
reviewed.
There
hasn't
been
any
significant
change
to
parking,
and
I
would
point
out
that
we
were
cited
for
off
street
parking
because,
according
to
the
inspectional
service
department,
this
would
require
six
parking
spaces.
I'd
like
to
speak
on
that,
just
very
briefly.
P
Under
the
boston
zoning
code
in
article
53
table,
10
says
that
for
the
first
three
units
you
provide
one
parking
space
per
unit
when
you
move
to
four
to
six
units.
There's
a
tiered
system
where
1.5
spaces
is
then
required
and
then
at
1.75
for
anything
over
6
2.0
spaces
for
anything
more
than
10..
If
you
do
the
math-
and
you
calculate
this-
and
my
understanding
based
upon
previous
conversations
with
plans
examiners-
is
you
don't
double
your
parking
spaces
simply
from
going
from
a
three
to
a
four
unit?
P
Building
it's
1.5
spaces
added
to
the
three
which
rounded
up
meets
five
parking
spaces
with
that
all
said,
I
would
point
out
that
this
property
is
located
steps
from
the
wood
island
train
station
and
consistent
with
the
city
of
boston
transportation.
Department's
recommendations
for
maximum
parking
on
projects
such
as
these
75
of
the
required
parking
is
what
the
btd
typically
recommends.
A
P
P
A
Okay,
so
it
looks
like
unit
three
and
four
have
access
to
the
roof
decks.
How
is
the
parking
accommodated.
P
There
is
a
bluetooth,
compact
and
three
full-size
spaces
and
again
this
is
probably
the
better
view,
madam
chair,
to
show
the
deck
arrangements,
because
we
do
stack
the
building
down
towards
the
rear,
which
actually
reduces
the
impact
on
the
rear
yard.
We
do
meet
the
rear
yard
setback
under
the
code.
However,
we
do
propose
roof
decks
that
are
accessible
to
individual
units
based
upon
where,
where
the
roof
slopes
down
into
the
back.
P
A
Okay,
so
let's
see
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
E
The
plans
are
good,
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
difference
and
I'm
not
sure
the
one
I'm
looking
at
it
shows
the
roof.
Decks
are
pulled
back
on
the
top
deck
a
little
bit
more
than
these
views,
but
no
other
questions.
P
Mr
robinson
is
correct.
The
vpda
guideline
for
roof
decks
actually
requires
a
setback
on
the
front
for
the
upper
roof
deck.
So
we
have
included
that.
T
Office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
We
recognize
that
in
some
position
based
on
parking
and
use,
but
the
office
of
neighborhood
services
held
for
a
bar
is
meeting
for
this
project.
Where
the
applicants
work
hard
to
address
their
concerns
of
diabetes,
we
think
parking
relief
is
acceptable
due
to
the
proximity
of
this
property
to
the
wood
island
trade
station.
We
also
received
16
letters
of
support
from
a
virus
residents
of
harvard
view,
including
two
direct
advisors
in
the
rear
and
the
right
of
the
progress.
AA
AB
I
AC
AD
AE
Yeah
hi,
my
name
is
joni
dimazzo,
I'm
director
butter
at
435
frankfurt
street.
The
biggest
concern
here
is
the
parking
we
have
addressed
it
for
a
while.
I
also
want
to
take
note
that,
even
though
this
is
in
a
corridor
enhancement
to
maintain
the
open
space
and
the
character
of
the
neighborhood,
this
is
in
between
five
single-family
homes.
AE
So
to
put
four
units
with
insufficient
parking
is
really
going
to
hurt
the
neighborhood
we're
on
a
dead-end
street
and
there's
not
many
places
for
us
to
park,
and
even
though
it's
in
front
of
a
train
station,
a
lot
of
residents
from
east
boston
come
and
park
on
our
street
to
use
the
train.
So
we're
really
concerned
about
the
parking
and
there's
there's
no
harch.
There's
also.
A
No
heart
hold
on.
I
I
need
to
hear
from
a
couple
other
people,
so
thank
you
for
putting
your
concerns
on
the
record.
Okay,
melanie.
AF
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
molly
richard
book
and
I
live
at
447
frankfurt
street.
I'm
opposed
to
fourth
to
this
project.
At
the
previous
abundance
meeting,
the
attorneys
see
that
they
would
be
presenting
it
as
a
right
project
and
made
it
seem.
AF
There
was
nothing
we
could
do
to
stop
it
because
there
were
no
variances,
so
we
were
very
disappointed
and
surprised
to
be
like
to
learn
that
they
would
be
seeking
a
variance
for
parking,
and
this
is
not
the
first
time
that
that
he's
done
this
and
there's
no
substantial
hardship
for
which
they're
playing.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
P
AD
AC
Hi,
can
you
hear
me
yes
hi?
I
am
a
direct
abutter
at
443,
frankfurt
street
and
in
opposition
to
the
437
frankfurt
street.
Thank
you
for
having
concerns
about
the
population.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
quick
response,
mr
lens.
P
I
just
want
to
point
out
that,
with
respect
to
the
advocacy
for
an
as
a
right
project,
it's
our
position
that
five
spaces
is
sufficient
under
the
boston
zoning
code
and
there
are
no
other
variances
that
would
be
necessary
for
this
project
and
despite
the
concern
of
a
parking,
this
is
the
only
only
project
on
the
street
that
would
actually
have
offstring
parking.
So
we
do
address
the
concern
of
parking
more
than
sufficiently
with
having
at
least
one
space
per
unit
and
one
additional
space.
A
Thank
you.
Given
all
that
information,
may
I
have
a
motion
please.
B
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
not
deny
without
prejudice.
I
think
that
the
the
the
the
proponents
can
come
back
with
the
community
with
a
project
that
could
be
more
acceptable.

P
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lin's
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
petitioner,
madam
chair,
this
is
a
pre-existing
three-family
dwelling
located
in
the
jeffries
point
section
of
east
boston.
Our
proposal
is
to
change
the
use
and
occupancy
from
three
to
four
units
and
propose
a
vertical
addition
and
roof
deck.
The
board
has
afforded
the
drawings
by
monty
french
design
studio
with
me
as
william
lee,
who
is
the
project
architect.
P
Madam
chair,
this
is
a
generally
typically
a
multi-family,
three-family
neighborhood
section
of
of
jeffrey's
point.
Our
proposal
would
certainly
clean
up
the
existing
conditions
of
the
existing
structure,
upgrade
the
life
safety
and
convert
it
to
a
project
that
is
capable
of
being
kind
of
ready.
The
units
are
a
mix
of
both
three-bedroom
and
two-bedroom
units.
They
range
in
size,
very
generously,
sized
for
about
1300
square
feet
of
the
smallest
to
about
700
square
feet
at
the
largest,
our
roof
deck
that
is
proposed
will
be
accessed
by
hatch
and
not
by
headhunts.
P
We
made
that
modification
throughout
the
community
process,
as
you
can
see
from
the
site
plan.
We
also
provide
a
good
amount
of
open
space
to
the
rear
of
the
property.
We
keep
our
proposed
building
with
our
addition,
in
line
with
the
the
deepest
buildings
to
our
left.
If
you're
looking
at
the
buildings
in
the
front,
if
we
could
jump
to
a
couple
of
the
elevations,
we
can
see
some
of
the
updates
and
changes
that
we're
proposing
to
make
with
respect
to
the
exterior
of
the
building
a
few
slides
ahead.
Please.
P
We
do
have
livable
space
in
the
basement.
I
believe
we
are
swapping
that
out
that
we
were
showing
originally
a
bedroom.
We
have
eliminated
that
to
just
make
that
livable
space,
it
is
proposed
to
be
in
conjunction
with
unit
one.
So
it's
not
intended
to
be
separate,
independent
living
quarters,
but
the
back
portion
of
that
building
does
have
a
good
area
for
walkthrough
as
well.
P
So
we
do
show
various
slides
here
showing
me
there.
We
go
very
good
to
show
the
improvements
that
are
being
made
and
the
relationship
to
the
surviving
properties
by
way
of
relief.
This
is
located
in
three
f
2000
district,
so
four
units
would
be
forbidden
or
requesting
relief
for
that
we
do
meet
the
minimum
lot
size,
which
is
2
000
square
feet
for
the
district.
We
propose
to
have
2800
square
feet.
P
Our
frontage
in
lot
width
is
sufficient
at
about
25.5
feet.
We
do
increase
the
far
up
to
2.4.
It
is
already
pre-existing
non-conforming.
So
our
request
for
variance
is
for
the
difference
for
the
additional
floor
area.
The
total
height
of
the
building,
with
the
addition
will
be
above
the
35
feet
that
is
allowed
41.5
feet
is
the
proposed
height
to
the
roof
raptor,
and
we
are
requesting
relief
for
the
sports
story
as
well.
P
We
do
propose,
or
at
least
propose
to
maintain
about
530
square
feet
of
open
space
per
unit
that
includes
dex,
which
is
in
excess
of
the
300
that
is
required
and
we
do
maintain
the
setback.
Obviously,
in
the
front,
by
setting
back
the
proposed
edition
with
respect
to
parking,
this
is
hold.
E
A
E
Now
the
revised
plans
that
I'm
looking
at
do
not
have
head
houses
in
them,
so
there's
some
differential
in
the
drawings,
but
the
ones
I'm
seeing
do
not
show
a
full
head
house
like
these
are.
P
B
I'm
sorry
any
questions
from
the
board.
Do
those
updated
plans
include
the
shifting
of
the
bedroom
from
the
from
the
basement.
B
A
Okay,
so
we
can,
we
can
deal
with
that.
Is
anybody
here
to
speak
in
support
or
in
opposition
to
this
proposal?.
F
AA
T
Ons
is
awesome.
Sorry,
we
just
have
a
technical
issue.
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
poor
lina
trammelling
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
welcome
the
record
in
support
for
this
proposal.
This
proposal
received
strong
support
from
jeffrey's
point
neighborhood,
association
and
former
virus.
Thank
you.
A
May
I
hate
hear
from
the
the
city's
planning
agency?
May
I
hear
from
you
jeff
please.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chairman
of
support,
jeff
hanson
vpda.
We
recommended
denial
without
in
prejudice
because
of
the
head
house.
We
didn't
receive
plans
that
showed
the
head
house
not
on
them.
Also
that
you
know
the
majority
of
the
buildings
and
three

F
P
Morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lin's,
245,
summoner
street
east
boston,
behalf
of
petitioner
mg2
group,
also,
I
believe,
on
the
policy
with
trio,
lorraine
or
sharon,
jenkins,
with
joy
street
design.
By
way
of
brief
history.
Madam
chair,
this
board
approved
this
project.
It's
a
pre-existing,
there's
actually
three
lots
involved
here
or
three
row
house
buildings
with
unlevel,
retail
and
residential
above.
P
They
are
in
deplorable
condition,
and
the
board
back
in
2018
approved
a
petition
to
preserve
the
existing
structures
and
renovate
to
allow
for
ground
level
combined
retail
and
nine
residential
units.
We
have
spent
a
good
deal
of
time
with
engineers
trying
to
look
at
ways
to
ensure
our
preservation
of
the
existing
structure,
and
this
is
a
good
slide
to
hold
up
on.
However,
it
has
just
been
determined
that
it's
just
not
feasible
to
do
the
project.
P
The
way
we
intended
based
upon
preservation
of
the
existing
structure,
so
we
undertook
a
process
with
the
community
to
discuss
the
demolition
of
the
existing
three
buildings
and
then
to
propose
essentially
the
exact
same
project
that
was
approved
by
this
board
in
2018..
P
That
decision
is
still
active
and
we
are
on
extension
until
july
13th
of
this
year.
For
those
approvals,
we
did
initiate
an
article
85
process
before
we
submitted
to
the
board
the
boston
landmarks
commission
on
february
4th
of
this
year,
with
the
determination
of
no
significance
for
the
three
buildings
and
therefore
we
are
free
to
proceed
with
demolition
of
the
structures.
P
Nothing
has
changed
with
respect
to
this
project.
It
will
still
be
combined
ground
level,
retail
and
with
nine
units,
with
the
four
story
edition
being
proposed,
as
shown
in
the
renderings
here.
If
the
board
would
like
me
to
go
through
the
programming
of
the
building,
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
But,
as
I
said,
nothing
is
paying
respect
to
the
proposed
project
that
was
approved
by
the
board
back
in
2018.
A
So,
can
you
give
us
the
breakdown
on
the
bedroom,
couch
and
square
footage,
especially
as
this
building
now
starts
starts
from
scratch.
Sure.
P
So
we
do
have
a
mix
of
studio,
one
and
two
bedroom
bi-level
type
units,
the
ligest
units
for
the
bi-level,
madam
chair,
around
1100
square
feet,
I'm
sorry
up
as
high
as
yeah
1100
square
feet
or
so
the
commercial
space.
The
lower
level
is
roughly
and
actually
divided
into
two
spaces,
roughly
about
1400
square
feet.
Each
our
studios
are
around
420
to
500
square
feet
roughly,
and
the
two
bedrooms
appear
to
be
a
little
over
800
to
900
square
feet
in
total.
A
P
A
So
I'm
looking
at
the
zoning-
and
this
is
a
three
or
five
thousand-
and
I
and
I
can
understand
the
thinking
when
this
project
came
to
this
board
a
few
years
ago
as
a
retrofit,
since
you
are
starting
from
scratch,
however-
and
this
is
a
three
of
2000
district-
was
there
any
thought
to
making
it
completely
residential
in
support
of?
What's
a
budding.
P
We
did
look
at
that.
However,
as
we
took
this
through
the
ghost
street
citizens
association
process,
there
was
a
strong
desire
to
maintain
a
retail
presence
at
the
lower
level.
This
was
formerly
a
bakery
and
we
are
looking
at
a
food
service
type
tenant
for
the
for
the
ground
floor
location.
This
is
located
in
very
close
proximity
to
maverick
square
and
based
upon
the
number
of
residential
units
in
the
immediate
vicinity.
A
So
food
service
means
the
equivalent
of
a
coffee
shop
or
is
it
you
know
a
small
mixed
goods
kind
of
store,
yeah.
P
Maybe
more
along
the
lines
of
a
cafe,
madam
chair,
I
don't
believe
this
will
be
full
service,
restaurant
based
on
the
size
and
the
needs
for
back
of
the
house,
but
this
is
intended
to
be.
You
know
again
ground
level,
retail
presence
that
services
the
immediate
vicinity.
It
is
located
very
close
to
the
neighborhood
traffic
district
as
well.
C
Is
there
any
affordability
component.
P
P
None
none
provided,
madam
chair
and
again.
This
is
within
steps
of
maverick
square,
so
very
close
proximity
to
maverick
t
station,
as
well
as
bus
lines
that
lead
to
chelsea.
A
I
mean,
I
think
I
think
the
question
that
I
have
is
that
first
there
is
the
addition
of
a
commercial
use,
and
I
and
you
know
some
of
the
residents
may
in
fact
need
off-street
parking
if
they
work
off
hours
or
something
like
that,
and
I
and
I
totally
understand
the
thought
when
it
was
a
retro.
A
But
since
this
is
new
construction,
you
know
that
it
was
it's
an
opportunity
to
look
at
this
with
a
fresh
view.
J
A
T
AA
A
All
those
in
favor
all
right
all
right
any
opposed.
I'm
opposed.
I
two
are
opposed,
but
there
are
five
in
support,
so
the
motion
carries
approval
with
design
review.

F
P
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lynch
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
here
on
behalf
of
the
petitioners
and
homeowners,
richard
and
therese
raymond
with
me
on.
The
call
today
is
also
frank
del
muto
who's,
the
project
architect.
Madam
chair.
This
involves
several
lots
in
the
harbour
view
section
of
east
boston,
the
raimondes
own
and
live
in
the
two
family
that
you
can
see
here
on
the
screen
to
the
left
side.
Are
they
have
recently
acquired
a
vacant
lot
to
the
right
of
them,
which
would
create
the
proposed
lot
for
the
three
family
dwelling.
P
While
there
is
a
conceivable
plan
to
be
able
to
divide
these
properties
based
upon
the
zoning
sub-district
and
create
two
new
two-family
houses,
we
felt
it
was
more
appropriate
to
preserve
as
much
open
space
as
possible
and
create
appropriate
parking
and
provide
a
building.
That
is
actually
one
less
unit
that
would
be
allowed
by
wright.
We
could
jump
to
the
actual
landscape
plan,
which
I
believe
is
might
be
the
next
slide.
P
It
probably
tells
a
little
bit
better
story
about
how
we're
laying
on
the
building
here
we
go
so
we're
looking
here
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
would
be
forestry.
The
proposed
three
family
wouldn't
be
located
immediately
to
the
right
of
the
existing
two
family,
that's
owned
by
the
riemann
piece
and
again.
P
The
decision
here
was
to
not
move
this
building
closer
to
their
body
neighbor
to
the
right,
but
instead
to
keep
the
building
as
close
to
their
property
that
they
currently
own,
they
will
occupy
the
new
building,
but
again
we're
showing
a
number
of
parking
spaces
both
outside
and
under
the
building.
That
would
service
both
buildings
here,
as.
P
Good
amount
of
open
space
to
the
rear
of
the
property
and
the
right
side
of
the
property,
and
we
do
have
some
rendering
showing
how
the
building
will
look
in
context
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
If
we
can
just
jump
forward
while
we're
doing
that,
the
new
building
would
have
three
units,
a
mix
of
three
bedroom
and
two
bedroom,
the
two
bedrooms
about
750
square
feet.
P
The
three
bedroom
ranges
from
about
1300
square
feet
up
to
about
2
000
square
feet,
which
will
be
the
owner
unit,
so
we're
seeing
here
is
the
site
context
and
the
context
rendering
showing
how
the
building
will
fit
in
the
surrounding
area.
We
work
closely
with
the
neighborhood
and
the
harbor
greenwood
association
on
redesigning
this
to
be
more
compatible
with
the
surrounding
context
of
the
area,
including
the
pitch
roof,
and
the
bump
house
that
you
see
here
in
the
design
mr
del
muera
did
include
a
garage
door.
P
P
We
could
slide
back
to
the
plan
for
the
two
night
do
not
believe
so.
Many
just
jump
back
there.
P
The
basement
level
on
the
existing
building
only
shows
basement.
There
is
a
bathroom
located
down
there.
I
can't
really
see
the
plan,
but
I
don't
believe
there's
any
occupancy
being
associated
with
that.
If
okay.
A
And
show
us,
and
so
let
me
just
ask
about
the
surface
parking,
so
that
would
be
two
side
by
side
spaces.
So
what
would
be
the
width
of
that
close
up
cut.
P
P
I
believe,
to
the
extent
that
there's
an
additional
curb
cut
on
on
one
side.
I,
if
we
can
just
drop
back
the
cycle
and
I
apologize-
we
are
sharing
a
driveway
to
the
three
families,
so
we
would
need
a
curve
cup
there,
as
well
as
the
curb
cut
for
the
side-by-side
system.
E
The
plans
are
good.
I
just
have
one
question
on
on
61..
The
new
building,
the
total
height
of
that
is
37.
Feet
is
called
down
on
the
drawings.
Is
that
correct?
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
the
you
know.
It
looks
a
little
bit
taller
as
you
can
see
in
these
renderings
and
I'm
trying
to
understand
what
that
upper
level
is
because
it
doesn't
show
a
program,
necessarily
it
just
says,
dormer
space
and
then
obviously
has
a
root
deck.
Is
that
correct?
There's
no
real
program
for
that.
P
I
believe
mr
dalmuto
is
on
the
call
if
he
can
unbeat
himself.
I
think
he
can
explain
the
program
for
the
upper
level.
E
A
Okay,
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
B
Yeah,
I
have
a
very
small
question
if
we
could
go
back
to
the
landscape
but
growing
it.
It
looks
in
terms
of
yeah
the
where
the
car
is
there.
Any
reason
that
the
driveway
area
on
the
right
is
not
back
to
the
bump
out
of
the
neighboring
lot
just
to
keep
moving
the
cars
a
little
further
off
the
street.
P
I'm
sure
we
can
pick
that
up
in
the
design
review.
If
that's
the
preference,
I
think
the
thinking
mr
ehrlich
was
to
not
put
the
cars
right
up
next
to
where
that
bump
up
is
for
our
neighbor
on
the
right-hand
side
to
give
a
little
bit
more
of
an
open
space
experience
for
that,
I
believe
that's
their
kitchen
for
what
they're
looking
out,
rather
than
looking
at
cars.
B

Two
tenths
of
a
mile
from
sullivan
square
orange
line
stops
at
about
10
other
bus
lines.
A
AH
You
bet
I'll
start
with
just
the
the
basics.
In
terms
of
what
you
see
on
your
screen.
Entry
is
at
the
top
right.
You
can
see
that's
a
security,
vestibule
ids
checked
outside
buzzed
in
through
the
front
door.
Id
checked
a
second
time
buzzed
into
the
sales
area.
Sale
is
made,
picked
up
and
then
there's
a
separate
exit.
Security
is
what
you're
used
to
seeing
in
terms.
AH
AH
AH
Yep
and
you'll
see
the
same
exterior
cameras,
360
degree
view
around
the
site:
interior
cameras
on
every
door
window
and
everywhere,
where
marijuana
is
handled
and
stored
and
all
of
the
you
know,
on-site
security
personnel,
three
on-site
personnel
at
all
times,
and
we
also
have
parking
attendants
to
help
with
that
issue.
AH
In
terms
of
parking,
we've
got
nine
parking
spaces.
These
are
reserved
for
customers.
Only
we've
provided
you
with
a
a
parking
or
a
traffic
study
showing
at
peak.
You
might
see
55
vehicle
trips
coming
and
going,
in
other
words,
28
vehicles
an
hour
at
peak.
We
turn
these
spaces
over
every
12
minutes,
so
those
nine
spaces
are
effectively
54.
So
we
have
more
than
enough
parking.
A
So
hold
on
so
let's
just
backtrack
a
little
bit.
Is
this
the?
So
this
is
the
side
door
a
where
will
cueing
a
car
on
the
sidewalk.
AH
It
we
anticipate
being
able
to
cue
inside
the
the
entry
vestibule
has
300
square
feet
and
also
some
interior
queuing
within
the
sales
area.
Once
people
are
buzzed
into
there.
AH
A
And
what
are
your
number
of
staff
that
you're
proposing
to
hire.
AH
We
would
anticipate
you
know
at
peak
shift,
you'd
see
10
staff
on
site,
but
you
know
there'd
probably
be
another
five
to
eight
employees
that
will
be
hired
here
as
well.
They
just
again
they'll
be
they'll,
be
shifts,
so
you
won't
see
more
than
ten
on
site
at
a
time.
AH
Hours
of
operation,
10
30
to
nine
o'clock
monday
to
friday
and
nine
o'clock
to
a.m,
to
nine
o'clock
p.m.
On
saturday
and
sunday.
A
A
Okay,
but
but
just
for
the
record,
I
want
to
say
that
we
are
not
approving
delivery
or
anything
so
so
may
I
so
is
this,
so
this
is,
is
mr
miss
john
on
this
call
too.
AH
AI
A
Okay,
and
so
you
know,
when
we've
talked
to
other
applicants,
they've
had
very
specific
plans
on
hiring
and
diversity
in
hiring.
Is
there
anything
such
thing
proposed
by
by
you
and
your
team.
AI
Nikki
yep
yeah,
so
we
all
yep.
We
also
electricity
inclusion.
What
is
we're
a
hundred
percent?
You
know
right
now,
even
after
fun,
it
will
maintain
that
fifty
percent
to
keep
our
social
equity
status,
but
the
goal
is
to
keep
that
at
100
throughout
ownership
of
the
business
and
in
terms
of
hiring.
We
want
to
hire
local,
but
we
also
want
to
hire
diverse
candidates,
so
we're
gonna
hire
personnel
who
are
diverse
but
also
have
contracts
with
other
companies
that
promote
diversity
as
well.
E
No
questions
on
the
plans.
The
layout
looks
good.
I
I
do
hope
that
we
can
look
at
maybe
some
buffering
of
the
parking
and
creating
a
little
bit
more
of
a
nicer
space
out
there.
If
folks
are
coming
to
this
place,.
A
Thank
you.
Certainly
any
questions
from
the
board.
AJ
Good
morning,
madam
members,
the
board
patrick
fandell,
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
on
behalf
of
the
mayor's
office,
there
was
a
community
meeting
held
for
this
on
march
10
2021,
which
was
attended
by
residents,
community
stakeholders
and
representatives
of
local
elected
officials.
The
applicant
completed
all
statutory
requirements
for
notification
prior
to
this
meeting
and
has
maintained
continued
outreach
to
the
community
and
stakeholders
there.
AJ
The
applicant
has
adequately
demonstrated
their
security
plans
for
the
premises
and
the
operational
logistics
of
the
site.
Further,
the
applicant
has
worked
with
traffic
consultants
to
ensure
that
this
application
would
not
have
an
adverse
impact
on
area
streets.
While
we
understand
that
there
is
both
support
and
opposition
on
record
regarding
this
proposal,
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support
and
ask
that
the
applicant
continue
to
outreach
the
community
as
they
move
forward
through
this
process.
Thank
you.
AD
AK
Hi,
my
name
is
maggie
dupri,
I'm
on
here.
Just
speaking
on
behalf
of
my
relatives
who
live
at
341
bunker
hill
street
in
charlestown,
it's
a
three-generation
trial,
family
and
they're.
They
just
wanted
to
voice
their
support.
You
know
this
location
is
properly
zoned
commercial.
The
traffic
study
that
was
done
stated
that
there
would
be
no
additional
impact.
AK
You
know
this
building
is
not
visible
from
the
street
as
it's
located
behind
a
liquor
store
and
behind
a
bar
room,
and
also
it's
a
stand-alone
structure
which
you
know
poses
no
issue
to
you
know
residents
on
top
are
attached
and
there's
no
other
business,
there's
a
top
around
or
attacks
that
would
cause
any
issues.
You
know
there's
parking
and
you
know
there
as
there
has
been
opposition.
There's
been.
You
know
over
300
letters
of
support.
AK
I
know
a
couple
hundred
additional
letters
were
submitted
yesterday,
so
on
behalf
of
the
residents
of
341,
just
stating
that
strong,
strong
support
behind
this
project.
AL
Yes,
good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
brian
kelly
and
I'm
a
resident
of
17
parker
street
in
a
stone's
throw
from
116
cambridge
street,
I
submitted
a
written
opposition
on
behalf
of
the
sullivan
square
residents
association,
primarily
on
the
basis
of
public
safety.
We
have
a
tremendous
problem
with
commuted
traffic
cutting
through
our
residential
streets.
AL
AL
The
size
of
this
project
with
13
to
15
sales
of
point
point
to
sales
in
their
hours
from
nine
to
nine
on
the
weekend
indicates
to
us
that
their
primary
primarily
marketing
themselves
to
the
casino
everett
does
not
have
marijuana
somerville
at
this
point
does
not
have
marijuana
cayman
street
leads
to
all
of
those
places.
Our
neighborhood
is
the
cut
through
for
all
of
those
communities
trying
to
avoid
sullivan
square.
AL
A
For
being
here,
any
anybody
else
to
speak
either
in
support
or
in
opposition.
U
A
So,
mr
patron
just
clarify
for
me,
this
is
this:
is
a
stop
in
the
process
to
receive
approval
by
this
applicant.
Can
you
highlight
what
positive
and
other
concerns
that
you
may
have
included
in
your
letter
to
the
cannabis
board.
M
U
The
letter
that
we
submitted
yesterday
and
submitted
to
the
cannabis
board
previously
kind
of
goes
through
the
the
concerns
that
counselor
edwards
has
with
this
proposal
primarily,
is
that
the
the
applicant
isn't
a
local
neighborhood
resident
council
edwards
has
always
preferred
that
cannabis
licenses
be
issued
to
neighborhood
residents
when
possible
and
and
then
just
general
lack
of
community
support.
As,
as
brian
said,
a
lot
of
concerns
about
traffic
and
this
applicant
just
failed
to
garner
community
support
through
the
process.
A
But
this
is
a
conditional
use,
so
you
know,
since
it
is
a
conditional
use,
are
there
any
possible
conditions
to
be
placed
on
this
proposal.
A
Okay,
can
I
hear
from
one
more
person
and
then
we
will
make
a
decision.
AD
Present
chair,
I
actually
have
robin
reed
robin
reed.
Please
state
your
name
for
the
board
and
your
name
and
address
sorry.
O
At
46
adams
street
in
dorchester
and
I'm
the
strategic
advisor
for
the
heritage
club-
and
I
wanted
to
express
that
there
was
a
lot
of
communication
with
the
community
around
having
non-local
people,
because
historically
charlestown
has
been
a
predominantly
white
neighborhood
bought
it
got
it.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
okay,
okay,
thank
you!
So,
given
this
information,
this
project
is
in
a
local
industrial
zone.
It
it
is,
you
know,
let's
see
it's
a
local
industrial
zone,
it
is
a
conditional
use.
C
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
the
following
proviso
for
this
applicant:
only
and
the
hours
are
operations
on
the
weekends
if
they
can
close
on
sundays,
at
6,
00
pm
and
on
saturdays,
at
8
p.m.

And,
let's
see
and
then
did
we
want
screening.
E
P

Second,
but
can
we
add

Good
morning

you'll
have
to.
A
So
cat
so
catherine,
mr
neal,
can
you
tell
us
who
the
developer
is
because
I
just
want
to
be
clear
so
that
there
is
no
oops
moment
for
us
if
there
is
a
conflict
of
interest
for
anybody.
AS
Madam
chairwoman,
hello,
I'm
jennifer
schultz
from
the
law,
firm
of
sullivan
in
worcester
at
one
post
office
square
in
boston
with
me,
is
catherine
o'neil.
Our
community
engagement
and
alongside
is
eric
viewer,
I'm
not
sure.
If
he's
been
unmuted,
he
represents
beacon
capital.
Who
is
the
developer
and
applicant
here.
This
site
was
for
many
years
prior
to
beacon,
taking
over
owned
by
cargo
ventures.
AS
Thank
you.
So
this
is
beacon.
Capital
and
also
here
with
me,
is
seth
reisman
and
drew
sale
from

Architects.
D
A
Okay,
you
want
to
try
your
volume,
I
don't
know
if
that
will
help
in
any
way
or
get
closer
to
your
screen.
AS
Sure
so
I
I'm
here
representing
beacon,
capital,
the
applicant
and
developer
for
this
project.
We
are
proposing
to
construct
a
380
000
square
foot
lab
office
building
at
the
two
harbor
site,
which
is
approximately
three
and
one
half
acres.
AS
We
are
seeking
relief
for
parapet
setback,
four
loading
bays
instead
of
five,
a
conditional
use
permit
for
parking
in
the
restricted
parking
overlay
and
for
storage
of
flammables,
meaning
the
parked
cars
in
a
flood
zone.
We
have
already
been
before
the
conservation
commission
and
have
an
order
of
conditions
most
relevant
to
that
item
of
relief.
We
have
engaged
in
outreach
with
the
community
and
elected
officials
and
have
submitted
several
letters
of
support.
A
So
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
just
to
kick
off,
so
if
this
is
three
and
a
half
acres
did,
why
did
you
do
a
pda
and
have
you
done
or
not
have
done
an
article
80.
AS
Yes,
yes,
so
this
is
edic
owned
land
we
are
the
long-term
ground,
lessee
and
edic
has
instructed
us
that
they
prefer
not
to
proceed
with
pdas,
and
so
for
that
reason
we
did
go
through
the
article
80
process
and
received
board
approval
from
the
bpda
in
december
of
this
last
year
and
are
now
hereafter
seeking
zoning
relief.
AS
It
is
general
industrial
in
the
underlying
zoning.
I
too.
AS
No,
so
this
site
is
actually
the
the
structure
is
entirely
outside
of
the
chapter
91
district.
However,
another
site
that
had
previously
been
owned
by
cargo
ventures
and
has
subsequently
been
sold
to
vertex
one
harbor
street
did
have
a
water
dependent
use
requirement
through
negotiation.
I
believe
with
the
ep.
They
shifted,
32,
000
square
feet
of
water
dependent
use
to
this
building,
and
so
we
have
committed
to
a
32,
000
square
foot.
Water
dependent
use
square
footage
set
aside
in
this
building.
A
AS
A
AS
A
I
mean
I'm,
I'm
just
I'm
just
asking
about
the
whether
whether
you
have
another
option
for
having
electrical
generators
other
than
in
a
flood
hazard
district.
I
I
only
put
that
out
there
yeah,
because
that
is
something
we're
concerned
about.
AS
AT
A
AU
AQ
Good
morning,
madam
of
the
chair,
members
of
the
war
anna
calderon
from
councillor
fling's
office,
the
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
recurring
support.
Please
know
the
counselor
sent
a
support
letter
both
in
december
and
this
morning,
as
well
based
on
true
community
process.
It
is
popular
fling's
position
that
this
project
will
be
a
valuable
addition
to
the
district
and
the
raymond
elfly
marine
park
in
terms
of
jobs
it
would
provide
to
our
residents
in
our
recovery.
Thank
you.
I
AA
AD
AW
Yes,
matthew
cheer
members
of
the
board,
gary
walker
electrical
workers,
vocal
103,
I'd
like
to
also
speak
in
strong
support.
Thank.
AO
A
You
for
the
counselor
for
this
project,
counselor
flynn's
office
raised
the
the
possibility
of
jobs.
Can
you
tell
us
if
this
is?
Is
this
a
biotech
or
lab.
AS
Yes,
that's
the
intention
that
this
is
a
lab
building
with
some
supporting
office
as
well
and
on
the
ground
floor.
There
will
be
space
for
some
retail
or
service
use
and
we're
looking
forward
to
seeking
out
local
retail
or
service
providers
when
we
get
to
that
point
later
on
in
our
construction.
A
So,
coincidentally,
I
was
doing
some
research
on
bio
labs
and
I
understand
that
less
than
10
percent
of
positions
in
these
bio
labs
are
open
to
people
with
high
school
or
less
than
a
baccalaureate
degree.
A
AT
AT
Yeah,
that's
what
I
was
going
to
say.
Next
is
there's
1500
permanent
jobs
and
a
good
number
will
be
based
on
the
tenants
you
know
and
their
ultimate
business,
but
we
do
control
all
the
leasing
and
the
management.
The
building
manager.
A
No,
no,
I
I
understand
about
the
service
uses
on
the
retail
uses,
but
you
know
they're,
you
know
the
the
stocks
I
was
looking
at
in
the
conversations
that
I
was
having
was
trying
to
understand
how
boston
residents
access
the
jobs
that
are
available
to
them,
and
I
just
am
curious
about
the
strategy
that
is
intended
to
be
used
to
actually
make
sure
that
boston
residents,
without
masters
with
less
than
an
undergraduate
degree,
have
access
to
whatever
jobs
might
be.
There.
AS
AS
You
know
that
there
is
an
interest
in
doing
what
they
can
to
work
with
the
community
and,
as
you
noted
for
job
placements
for
residents,
especially
who
do
not
have
those
advanced
degrees.
So
so,
while
we
don't
have
a
program
in
place
right
now,
we're
certainly
open
to
you
know,
looking
into
it
and
doing
what
we
can
and.
A
There's
a
lot
speculative
biotech
space
going
up,
got
it
so,
given
that
information,
may
I
have
a
motion
please.
V
F
AX
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
tom
miller,
mcdermott
quilting
miller,
28
state
street
attorney
hamley,
was
attempting
to
get
on
as
well
and
apparently
can't
be
heard.
I
apologize
for
that.
Hence
the
delay
this
this
project
we
are
joined
here
today
by
matthew,
fullman,
fulham
and
chris
tomlinson
of
dbi
projects
and
john
variely
of
roxbury
prep
we're
here,
as
as
the
secretary
said,
to
seek
approval
of
the
extension
of
the
conditional
use
permit
into
the
new
space.
AX
This
property
is
located
in
the
roxbury
neighborhood
district
and
the
dudley
square.
Eda
that
uses
condition
the
educational
use
is
conditional.
There
roxbury
prep,
recently
took
over
the
city
on
a
hill
charter
charter
school
space,
which
was
approved
by
this
board
in
2013
and
part
of
that
process,
making
the
space
fit
their
needs.
AX
They're
looking
to
convert
this
under
utilized,
previously
retail
and
vacant
retail
space
into
three
new
classrooms
for
a
total
capacity
in
the
charter
school
space
of
526
students
and
staff,
as
this
site
has
existed
for
as
a
school
for
years,
it's
an
appropriate
location
for
the
use
that
will
not
adversely
affect
the
neighborhood
cause.
Any
serious
hazard
or
nuisance
and
has
appropriate
and
adequate
facilities
for
the
use.
A
I'm
sorry,
can
you
back
up
a
little
bit
so
roxbury
prep
has
abandoned
their
efforts
to
move
into
roslindale's
roxbury
and
this
is
their
new
location.
No.
A
AY
Okay,
good
morning
attorney
joe
hanley
mcdermott
called
tim
miller
for
roxburg
prep
as
well.
Sorry
that
I
I
had
tech
technical
difficulties.
No,
this
is
for
roxbury
prep's
middle
school.
The
project
that
you're
referencing
had
to
do
with
their
high
school,
their
need
for
a
new
high
school,
which
is
still
ongoing,
so
this
is
for
would
allow
them
to
consolidate
their
middle
school,
of
which
a
component
is
in
mission
hill
and
their
lease
ran
out
there.
This
was
city
on
a
hill
charter
school
that
this
board
approved
eight
years
ago.
AY
School
is
a
conditional
use,
we're
merely
capturing
vacant
retail
space.
Obviously,
that
has
a
lot
of
challenges
during
the
pandemic
and
we
think
can
be
better
utilized
with
the
extension
the
conditional
use
to
just
allow
it
to
be
used
for
classrooms.
So.
A
So
let
me
just
put
it
out
there.
A
My
office
is
a
stone's
throw
from
this
location
and
we
have
a
good
experience
with,
or
we
have
experience
with,
the
students
from
city
on
a
hill,
and
so
I
need
to
ask:
is
there
cafeteria
space
or
some
internal
space
for
the
students
to
congregate
that
is
safe,
secure
and,
of
course,
monitored
by
staff
within
the
facility.
AY
AY
John
vareli,
who
is
the
regional
director
front,
climbing
schools
and
roxbury
prep,
is
on
the
line,
and
so
by
virtue
of
this
grant
of
relief,
this
allows
us
to
better
improve
and
integrate
with
cafeteria
space.
John,
can
you
speak
to
that
in
a
little
more
detail,
so.
A
AY
So,
madam
chair,
we're
not
here
for
the
city
on
a
hill
there's
no
relief
that
is
necessary
for
the
city
on
a
hill
space.
A
permit
has
already
been
issued
for
that.
I.
A
Totally
get
it
my
question
to
you
is
that
from
and
our
experience
is
that
the
students
need
a
space
whether
they
are
city,
honor,
hill
students
or
roxbury.
Prep
students
doesn't
matter,
they
need
a
space,
that's
not
in
nubian
station
or
are
just
around
and
about.
We
need
to
see
how
the
students
are
protected.
Have
some
security
have
some
adult
supervision
over.
J
AY
So
what
this
relief
would
do
was
would
be.
Allow
us
allow
the
school
to
reduce
the
concentration
in
the
sylviana
hill
charter
school
space
by
moving
classrooms
into
this
space
right,
that's
vacant
and
allow
them
to
have
cafeteria
and
ample
on-site
space
within
the
former
city
on
a
hill
charter
school.
I
think.
A
A
The
cafeteria
or
a
decompression
space
is
within
the
already
approved
city
on
health
spaces.
AX
He
is,
he
is
a
call-in
user
ending
in
617.
V
J
L
V
Not
only
not
only
do
we
have
supervision
during
the
day,
but
their
supervision
during
entry
and
exit
during
the
school
day.
So
when
students
arrive,
there
are
teachers
that
greet
them
right
at
the
front
entrance
and
as
students
exit
there
are
positions
scheduled
outside
of
the
building,
as
students
exit
to
make
sure
they
get
home
safely.
AC
A
Okay,
okay,
okay
and
so
you're,
taking
the
entire
new
york
fashion,
space.
A
Okay,
can
you
tell
us
also
what
other
processes
you've
put
in
place?
A
My
organization
did
a
survey
of
young
women
in
the
in
the
space
in
a
roxbury
in
the
nubian
square
station,
and
they
voiced
a
lot
of
concern
about
some
of
the
things
that
were
happening
in
that
station
and
some
of
the
students
did
include
city
honor
hill
students,
which
and
of
course,
madison
park
and
other
students
in
vicinity,
and
so
I
would
encourage
you
to
read
that
study
and
see
whatever
strategies
you
can
put
in
place
to
ensure
that
your
your
students
are
less
intimidated
as
they
move
within
the
community
and
in
nubian
station.
AY
A
Www.Tamcc.Org
and-
and
there
is
a
pathways
to
go
study
on
it,
which
will
tell
you
very
clearly
of
the
of
the
issues
that
young
women
ages
14
to
21
face
as
they
negotiate
the
square
and
it
hasn't
gotten
better
with
the
recent
pandemic
and
the
recent
things
happening
on
on
mass
cast.
Okay.
So
I'm
sorry
sorry
for
that
diversion,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
because
we
watch
the
students
from
our
window
and
we
know
kind
of
have
an
eye
on
what's
happening
in
the
community.
E
The
plans
are
good
one,
quick
question
just
for
clarification:
you're.
It
says
that
you're,
removing
exterior
aluminum
framing
but
is,
is
that
just
the
the
existing
vestibule
so
there's
no
exterior
change
to
the
build
okay.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
BA
Yes,
yeah
all
right.

you

Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
morantzy,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
west
broadway
in
south
boston.
Madam
chair
members,
my
clients
are
mark
murphy
and
brendan
o'shea,
and
this
is
an
application
to
erect
a
new
five-unit
residential
building
with
10
garage
parking
spaces
at
29
tiles
borough
street
in
dorchester
street
at
the
corner
of
warrell.
BC
These
plans
include
revisions
to
the
project
which
reduced
the
number
of
units
from
the
six
that
were
originally
proposed
to
five,
which
is
before
the
board
today
eliminated.
Two
originally
proposed
outdoor
parking
spaces
and
increased
the
right
side,
setbacks
to
10
feet
and
the
front
set
back
to
a
minimum
of
five
feet,
but
more
prevalently
eight
feet.
One
violation.
BC
BC
The
site
is
in
a
two
f
5000
zoning
sub
district
there's,
currently
a
two
family
dwelling
on
the
lot.
The
lot
is
7395
square
feet.
The
proposed
building
would
be
three
stories
and
40
feet
in
height,
while
the
coat
allows
two
and
a
half
stories
and
35
feet.
The
ground
floor
would
consist
of
the
main
residential
entry
lobby,
a
handicapped,
lift
trash
storage
and
the
building's
10
garage
parking
spaces
fixed
up
which
are
full
size
and
four
of
which
are
compact,
which
is
allowed
by
the
code.
BC
The
second
floor
would
contain
three
units,
all
two
bedrooms
of
1123
1251
and
1343
square
feet.
While
the
third
floor
would
contain
two
two
unit,
bedrooms
of
1706
and
1776
square
feet,
each
unit
has
an
inset
balcony
for
open
space
and
no
roof
decks
are
proposed.
Aside
from
height.
The
proposed
five-family
use
requires
a
variance.
BC
Yeah,
the
building
is
again
the
corner
of
tylersboro
and
warrell,
so
the
left
front
corner
of
the
building
actually
is
in
the
area
whereby
the
required
cross
corner
visibility.
You
know
no
build
area
essentially
would
be.
There
is,
as
I
say,
a
a
substantially
an
eight
foot
setback
along
hilesborough
street.
It
is
five
feet
where
the
that
bay
does
project
on
the
ground
floor
level.
BC
And,
honestly,
I
you
know,
that's
a
mechanical
and
sprinkler
room
on
the
first
plan
on
the
first
floor
plan,
the
garage
plan,
you
know
that
could
probably
be
adjusted
to
provide
for
a
greater
degree
of
cross-corner
visibility
onto
orrell
street.
Finally,
a
front
yard
setback
violation
is
cited
and
that's
what
I
was
just
speaking
of
that
left
bay,
which
is
approximately
11
feet
wide.
E
The
plans
look
good.
I
agree.
There
is
some
a
little
bit
of
concern
at
that
corner,
but
I,
as
the
counselor
has
indicated,
I
think,
there's
some
options
through
a
potentially
bpda
review
to
adjust
that
no
questions.
AJ
The
applicants
have
modified
their
design
from
the
initial
proposal
to
come
down
to
the
current
application,
that's
being
presented
today,
responding
to
concerns
of
density
unit
count
and
then
open
and
green
space.
AJ
While
there
is
opposition
and
support
on
file
with
the
zoning
board,
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
and
ask
for
continued
bpd
days,
bpda
design
review
and
that
the
applicant
continue
to
outreach
to
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
F
Madam
chair
secretary,
here
to
the
mayor's
voice,
he
basically
said
that
there
are
opposition
letters
and
support
letters.
AD
BE
Deborah
scully
73
houghton
street
in
dorchester,
I
am
in
a
butter.
I
did
attend
both
the
buddha's
meetings.
We
also
sent
in
a
letter
against
this
proposal
and
the
reason
we
were
against
it
was
were
twofold
one,
because
the
neighborhood
is
already
terribly
overcrowded.
We
have
had
19
new
units
built
in
the
last
two
years.
This
would
bring
the
total
to
24..
BE
BE
There
are
all
sorts
of
incidents
at
the
intersection
on
hornen
street
and
at
warrell
street
the
buses
come
in
off
morrissey
boulevard
to
pope's
hill
street
and
on
to
warrell
street,
as
they
let
off
the
students
in
the
morning.
They
are
often
two
and
three
deep
waiting
for
their
turn
to
let
off
the
students.
They
also
let
our
students
in
the
small
parking
lot
that
is
abutting
the
mcmorrow
playground
that
grassy
area
they
then
proceed
up.
Hopes
hill
street
tune
upon
sedaf.
That
is
the
only
way
into
the
school.
BE
That
is
the
only
way
out
of
the
school.
The
school
has
over
900
students,
many
of
whom
have
special
health
care
needs
and
require
all
kinds
of
equipment,
and
it's
just
a
very
large
school,
with
very
many
children
in
it.
Basically,
I
think
this
ignores
the
school,
the
children
and
the
traffic
in
the
area
as
far
as
the
traffic
con.
Thank
you,
man.
A
Thank
you

Thank
you
so
much
for
giving
that
perspective.
May
I

Yes,
good
morning,
mountain
chairwoman
and
board,
my
name
is
tim
murray.
I
reside
at
84
houghton
street,
I'm
in
a
butter
early
on
in
this
process.
I
was
asked
by
pope's
hill
neighborhood
association
to
work
with
the
other
butters
that
had
attended
the
abutters
meeting
to
arrive
at
a
consensus
on
this
project.
AN
Consensus
was
it's
too
big.
We,
I
personally
worked
with
the
developers
through
their
prior
attorney,
their
existing
attorney,
their
realtor
to
express
the
concerns
of
myself
in
my
abutters
to
encourage
them
to
reduce
it
down
to
something
in
keeping
with
the
legacy
housing,
which
is
single
two
and
three
families.
AN
I
highlighted
in
particular
the
safety
concern
relative
to
the
creation
of
that
blind
corner.
So
I
find
it
disingenuous
on
the
part
of
attorney
morancy
that
there
now
seems
to
be
a
willingness
to
address
that
issue.
They
have
their
opportunity
to
address
it.
They
chose
not
to
they
push
forward.
With
this
existing
plan,
I
think
the
numbers
of
variance
is
sought,
underscored.
A
So
let
me
just
ask
you,
sir,
can
I
just
ask
you
about
the
number
of
units
is:
do
you
have
an
issue
with
the
number
of
units.
AN
Yes,
madam
chairwoman,
as
I
indicated,
the
neighbor's
desi
neighborhood's
desire
is
something
less
dense.
A
Got
it?
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir
okay,
mr
morenzy
quick
rebuttal,
and
then
we
will
move
to
our
decision.
BC
Certainly,
on
the
issue
of
the
schools,
I
mean
that
the
school
and
the
school
bus
is
completely
understood.
As
I
said,
you
know
that
right,
corner
treatment
of
the
building
could
certainly
be
modified.
BC
I
would
point
out
that
warrell
street
is
posted,
for
you
know
not
allowing
entry,
except
for
residents
school
days
between
the
hours
of
eight
and
nine
am
two
and
four
pm.
So
that's
something
where
you
know
there
is
already
an
effort
in
place
by
the
city
to
to
manage
the
traffic
conditions
at
that
corner.
BC
This
would
be
a
proposed
addition
of
three
new
units
to
the
two
that
already
exist,
so
you
know
overall,
I
don't
think
it's
something
that
whether
it's
approved
or
denied
isn't
really
going
to
have
a
a
measurable
impact
upon
the
corner
situations
right
here.
So
you
know.
That
is
something
that,
as
I
said,
my
clients
would
be
absolutely
absolutely
willing
to
work
with
the
bbda
and
btd
for
whatever
treatment,
whatever
adjustment
might
need
to
might
need
to
be
done
at
that
corner.
A
Okay,
given
that
information
and
and
the
testimony
may
I
have
a
motion.
A
AG
B
E
I
do
think
there's
some
options
for
that
that
they
can
make
work.
Yes,.
A
Okay,
so,
okay,
so
do
you
mind
taking
god
as
an
as
part
of
the
motion.
A
A
Given,
given
the
the
the
issues
with
the
school
bus
and
and
traffic
issues,
as
much
as
much
visibility
as
possible
should
be
allowed.
Okay,
okay,.

P
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lenz,
245
sumner
street
east
bost,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
madam
chair,
this
property
is
located
just
on
the
edge
of
the
day
square
neighborhood.
It's
the
neighborhood
shopping
district.
It's
actually
two
locks,
two
or
three
lots
over
from
the
dividing
line
between
the
ns
district.
As
you
can
see
here,
there
is
a
good
deal
of
development
happening
along
this
specific
corridor
leading
into
day
square.
The
problem
that
we're
looking
at
here
is
the
two-story
single-family
building
that
is
structurally
unsound.
P
Actually
in
preparation
for
demolition,
our
proposal
would
be
to
demolish
the
existing
structure
and
replace
it
with
a
similar
structure.
That's
located
directly
to
the
left,
as
well
as
two
two
locks
over
to
the
right,
which
recently
have
been
completed.
I
believe
the
next
photo
actually
shows
our
proposed
project
in
context.
P
I
think
there's
one
more
one
more
after
that.
There
we
go
so
this
is
a
there.
We
go
yeah,
so
this
is
a
proposed
four
units,
a
mix
of
all
all
two
bedroom
units,
they're,
actually
again,
very
generously
sized
for
this
type
of
building
about
1100
to
about
1200
square
feet
in
size.
The
first
two
units
are
flats,
the
upper
levels,
both
levels
three
and
four-
are
bi-level.
Where
entry
is
on
the
third
level,
with
the
internal
stairwell,
both
upper
level
units
have
private
roof
decks.
P
I
believe
the
plan
may
show
head
houses.
Obviously
we
understand
the
board's
position
with
that
and
are
prepared
to
eliminate
any
head
houses
that
are
shown
with
respect
to
the
relief
that's
necessary.
Even
though
we
are
adjoining
the
neighborhood
shopping
district,
we're
in
the
three
f
2000,
a
four-unit
building
is
forbidden,
three
families,
the
maximum.
P
I
would
point
out
that
again,
this
section
of
chelsea
street
has
seen
a
significant
interest.
The
development,
with
a
lot
of
the
older
stock
homes
being
replaced
by
multi-families.
Our
lot
size
is
sufficient
at
are
just
just
under
the
requirement
1875
square
feet.
2000
is
the
minimum.
We
do
meet
a
lot
with
unlock
frontage
requirements
for
the
existing
conditions.
P
Our
proposed
far
is
a
2.13.
I
would
submit
that
this
is
relatively
consistent
with
the
other
projects
along
that
side
of
chelsea
street.
The
height
of
our
building,
total
height
is
43
feet,
which
is
above
the
35
foot
maximum
that's
permitted
as
well
as
the
one
story
above
three
stories.
That's
allowed.
P
We
do
propose
about
850
square
feet
of
open
space
that
includes
decks.
Balconies
root,
decks
where
12
are
sweetest
12
square
feet
is
required.
This
would
be
considered
a
shallow
lot.
Therefore,
the
required
minimum
setback
in
the
rear
is
at
17
and
a
half
feet.
We
do
show
a
six
foot
setback
to
the
rear
property
line.
I
would
point
out
to
the
board
that
there
is
a
10
foot
passageway
directly
behind
the
property,
so
the
next
adjoining
property
line
would
actually
be
about
16
feet
away
from
the
rear,
most
portion
of
our
building.
P
We
with
respect
to
parking
the
existing
condition
of
a
single
family
that
has
no
parking.
We
would
be
required
to
add
additional
parking
spaces
for
the
additional
units
that
we're
proposing
and
we're
requesting
relief
with
respect
to
that
again,
largely
in
part
based
upon
its
proximity
to
day
square,
as
well
as
proximity
to
two
public
transit
stations,
both
wood
island
and
the
airport
station
located
directly
on
the
street
behind
us.
I'm
happy.
P
A
So
if
this
is
a
flood
hazard
district,
how
how
will
that
unit
be
protected.
P
Yeah,
I
I
think
this
had
come
up
during
our
community
presentation.
Madam
chair,
there
are
two
buildings
I
believe
the
architect
eric
zacherson
is
on
the
line
with
us.
He
was
the
architect
on
one,
if
not
both
of
those
projects
and
has
figured
out
how
to
achieve
compliance
with
the
flood
regulation
with
these
buildings.
So
I
don't
know
if
eric
wants
to
discuss
the
specifics
on
that.
BG
Thank
you
rich.
I
was
actually
not
the
original
architect
on
either
of
the
buildings
on
either
side
of
the
plaza,
although
I
have
taken
over
some
of
the
final
stuff
on
the
adjacent
project,
we're
going
to
be
working
with
the
same
civil
engineer
as
as
both
of
those
projects
to
review
this
with
the
with
the
powers
that
be
as
far
as
that
goes
and
and
follow
the
track
that
they
have
done.
But
I
was
not
the
original
architect
on
those
two
projects.
P
I
I
can
represent
to
the
board
that
the
two
projects
left
and
right
of
this,
which
are
similar
in
size.
Both
four
units
have
received
certificates
of
occupancy
in
the
appropriate
orders
of
condition
from
the
conservation
commission.
So
there
is
the
ability
to
comply.
I
think
it
has
a
large
part
to
deal
with
the
base
flood
elevation,
where
it's
located
in
proximity
in
front
of
the
building.
A
Yes,
that's
what
I'm
concerned
about
is
base
flood
elevation
and
the
possibility
of
flooding
of
that
handicapped
handicapped
accessible
unit.
You
know
and
that's
the
concern.
The
other
question
is
that
basically,
we
have
a
new
building
form
through
appeal,
and
so
my
question
was,
you
know:
was
there
a
reason
that
you
did
not
imitate
the
building
form
of
some
of
these?
You
know
it
looks
like
you
know.
A
At
least
three
of
the
four
of
the
five
structures
seem
to
have
on
this
on
this
street
on
this
side
of
the
street
anyway,
I.
P
I
can
let
the
architect
speak
more
to
that.
Madam
chair.
I
would
point
out
that
you
can
see
the
building
on
the
left
side
of
our
image.
Here
is
a
new
building,
the
one
next
to
our
proposed
and
then
the
one
that's
greenish
in
color
each
of
those
have
the
bump
out.
That's
pretty
evident
along
that
section
of
chelsea
street.
You
do
see
the
existing
building.
That's
certainly
yellow
with
the
darker
windows,
has
some
of
the
elements
that
usually
repeats
itself
along
chelsea
street.
P
BG
We
looked
at
the
projects
to
our
left
and
our
right,
which
both
have
that
fourth
floor
unit
and
it's
a
little
bit
set
back
when
we
kind
of
I
have
gone
to
market
with
those
units,
we've
had
a
little
bit
of
a
lot
of
some
of
the
neighbors
were,
or
some
of
the
the
purchasers
were
not
so
excited
about
the
the
deck
space
as
opposed
which
created
a
smaller
living
space.
BG
So
we
proposed
this
and
and
expected
to
talk
about
it
with
the
neighbors
and
see
what
the
abutters
feelings
were
and
when
there
was
a
little
or
no
objection
to
the
the
building.
We
left
kind
of
the
original
design,
which
has
three
very
identical
units
on
the
front
with
without
the
front
deck
space,
but
with
the
the
building
being
straight
straight
out
from
in
no
deck
on
chelsea.
A
Okay
and
then,
when
we
see
these
drawings,
we
see
head
houses.
Is
that
so
that
you
don't
trigger
building
code
relief.
A
P
Madam
chair,
that
building
to
the
right
of
our
proposed
project
does
have
a
head
house
that
was
approved
prior
to
I
think,
for
lack
of
a
better
term
the
boards
crack
down
on
the
head
houses.
P
Typically,
the
procedure
is
to
submit
a
in
order
to
get
the
refusal
letter
issued
for
zoning.
We
typically
submit
a
building
code
compliance
set
for
refusal,
and
that's
why
you
do
see
the
head
houses.
P
If
we
remove
the
head
house
that
obviously
triggers
a
building
code
relief
and
then
you
know
we
deal
with
it
accordingly,
one
of
the
things
that
I
know
that
for
specific
clients
I
do
represent
is
they
will
show
the
head
house
and
then
obviously,
if
the
board
requires
a
hatch,
only
to
then
make
the
decision
as
to
whether
or
not
they're
going
to
incorporate
the
roof
deck
at
this
time
or
have
somebody
you
know
deal
with
it
later
on
if
they
want
to
install
the
roof
deck
and
then
go
forward
with
the
building
code
relief
separately.
A
So
so,
essentially
the
projects
that
are
punted,
we
could
very
well
see
them
coming
back
for
building
code
relief,
then,
when
we've
required
head
houses,
but
I
mean
I
had
you
know
what
you
know,
what
I'm
saying.
P
As
of
more
recently
madam
chair
and
I
I
don't
want
to
make
more
work
for
the
board,
certainly
as
of
more
recently
a
lot
of
the
newer
projects
in
the
pipeline,
we
are
recommending
that
the
building
code
relief
be
requested,
regardless
of
whether
or
not
they're,
building
building
the
deck
or
not,
and
that
that
be
done
in
conjunction
with
the
zoning.
I
know
I've
come
before
the
board
on
a
few
projects
in
east
boston,
where
we've
actually
asked
for
the
ability
code
relief
at
the
same
time
as
a
zoning
code,
relief.
B
Just
is:
are
the
roof
tech
set
set
back?
I
I,
I
don't
see
them
on
the
proposed
context,
rendering.
P
B
C
Thank
you
just
a
quick,
quick
question,
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
for
eric
or
for
the
the
opponent
is
it?
Is
it
possible
to
push
that
fourth
floor
back
to
make
it
look
like
the
other
two
buildings?
This.
P
So
through
the
chair,
mr
regero,
what
we've
done
is
you
can
see
in
the
back,
we've
actually
reduced
it
in
the
back
and
put
the
deck
on
the
back
as
opposed
to
the
front.
It
does
provide
a
little
bit
of
different
character.
I
mean
it's
just
you
know,
rather
than
these
looking
like
cookie
cutter,
all
the
way
down
chelsea
street.
This
does
provide
a
little
bit
different
character
and
having
the
roof
deck
on
or
the
deck.
Actually,
the
balcony
off
in
the
back
made
a
little
bit
more
sense.
T
Members
of
the
board
lina
kameli
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
We
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
The
office

held
on
a

meeting
of
main
four,
where
the
applicant
addressed
the
concerns
of
the
abarth.
We
received
25
letters
of
support
from
our
banners
and
business

located
in
bay
square.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
given
that
information,
may
I
have
a
motion
please.

Come
back
to
it,
I'll
call
the
next
case
calling
voa

webster

This
is
to
expand
the
existing
dormer,
the
rear
yard,
with
a
single
gable
dormer
and
a
wider
shed
dormer.
The
violations,
article

t-5.
This
is
an
east
boston,
ipod
and
article

section

excessive,
far

and

record.
Please.
M

We
are
expanding
on
the
third
floor,
a
single
window
dormer
into
a
shed
dormer,
and
that
will
provide
us
more
headroom
for
the
bedroom
on
the
upper
floor
there.
Currently,
if
you
look
at
the
third
floor
plan
in
the
sort
of
lower
right
hand,
corner
of
that
plan,
there
are
currently
built-in
drawers
taking
advantage
of
an
eve
space
and
we
will
be
our
proposed.
Dormer
would
add
more
head
room
to
that
area.
There
is
no
additional
floor
plate
being
proposed.
We
are
only
adding
head
room
to
the
existing,
so.
A
It's
a
two
family
and
how
many
bedrooms
will
be
in
this
unit.
E
The
plans
are
fine,
it's
very
simple.
Little
additions,
no
questions.
A

Sorry,
no
I'm
here
for
20
nights
on
andrew,
but
I
tried
to
I
couldn't
get
into
my
screen
on
time.
So
I'm
sorry
I'm
just
gonna!
Oh
my
god!
Oh.
A
Jeff
you
want
to
go
on
the
record.
A
A
F
Chair
I'm
going
to
pop
back
to
saint
angels.
It
sounds
like
the
applicant's
on,
so
I'm
going
to
call
back
into
the
record
calling
voa
118
1104
nine
saint
andrew
road.
This
is
a
build,
a
new
back
porch
wider
stairs.
First
to
the
second
floor,
finish
the
basement:
the
violation,
article
27,
t,
east
boston,
ipod,
article
53,
section,
nine.
The
side
yard
is
insufficient
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
A
Can
you
can
you
speak
closer
to
your
mic
because
we're
having
difficulty
hearing
you.
A
BI
Yes,
the
purpose
of
the
bedroom
is
going
to
be.
We
want
to
make
a
habitable
basement,
so
we're
going
to
add
that
square
footage
to
the
first
floor.
So
and
yes,
we're
going
to
have
we're
going
to
have
two
bedrooms
and
the
ceiling
high
is
going
to
be
seven
feet.
High.
BI
Well,
we
have
to
make
two
fire
escape
windows,
so
it's
going
to
be
under
the
max
is
going
to
be
44..
Okay,.
A
BI
Well,
the
back
porch
beneath
that
second
minion
egress.
So
that's
why
we
just
gonna
redo
that
porch
and
the
new
stairs,
but
I
believe
he
change
that
to
comply
that
way.
We
don't
have
any
payback
validation.
A
Okay,
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
E
The
the
plans
are
fine;
it
does
show
that
they're.
The
basement
is
currently
about
six,
says
610
and
they're
increasing
into
seven
six.
The
one
problem,
obviously,
is
the
two
bedrooms
in
the
basement,
which
we
don't
like.
The
other
question
I
have
is
the
window
wells
that
they're
proposing
for
the
egress
stick
out
into
the
driveway
about
four
feet,
so
I'm
not
sure
exactly
how
that's
going
to
work.
So
I
just,
I
think,
there's
a
little
problem
here
with
the
technical
aspect
of
what
they're
showing.
A
Okay,
let
me
just
speak
to
the
applicant
for
a
minute
that
this
board
is
as
a
standard
practice
cannot
does
not
support
bedrooms
in
the
basement
because
of
health
and
safety
issues,
and
especially
this
proposal.
If,
if
the
window
well
does
extend
into
the
driveway,
we
have
serious
health
safety
concerns
with
that.
A
In
the
meantime,
I'm
going
to
just
tell
you
that
so
that
you
can
think
about
that
as
we
talk
through
the
rest
of
the
project,
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
B
Yeah,
mr
robinson,
I
I
can't
tell
from
the
elevations,
can
you
see
what
the
well
the
applicant
said
seven
feet,
but
you
said
seven
six,
which
is.
E
Plans
say
seven
six,
and
I
think
you
know
I
think
the
other
thing
it's
a
little
bit
questionable
if
we
can
go
to
the
plans
just
for
so
the
board
can
see
one
a
point.
Three,
maybe
the
other
way.
There's
also
I
mean
there's
a
family
room
shown,
but
it
does
appear
to
be.
It
looks
like
a
some
sort
of
a
kitchen
down
there
as
well
right
here
on
the
left
hand,
side
plan,
you
can
see
the
family
room,
kitchen
ish,
there's
at
least
there's
a
kitchen
sink
shown.
B
E
Dimension,
it
does
not
so
in
looking
at.
I
just
went
to
I
needed
to
go
to
google
maps.
It's
you
know
it's
it's
pretty
high
grade
and
there's
no
there's
no
change
in
the
grade.
It
looks
pretty
consistent,
so.
T
U
BI
Can
I
speak
for
a
minute?
Yes,
so
that
what
the
clothes
say
we
have
to
the
architect,
never
change
it.
But
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
meet
gold.
What
we
need
is
seven
feet,
so
the
high
is
going
to
be
seven
feet
and
the
driveway
we
have
more
room
so
that
why
we're
going
to
do
redo
the
driveway,
so
the
driver
is
going
to
be
wider
than
what
it
is
now.
A
Okay,
essentially,
when
you
come
to
the
board,
we
need
perfected
plans,
because
our
decision
is
made
on
what
we
see
in
front
of
us.
So,
mr
robinson,
with
out
those
bedrooms
in
the
basement.
What
would
what's
the
first,
the
first
floor
unit,
looking
like.
E
So
I
mean,
I
think
those
are
bedrooms,
three
sorry,
two
and
three
as
called
out,
but
there's
actually
appears
to
be
four
bedrooms.
If
I'm
reading
the
plans
correctly,
so
there's
two
bedrooms
on
the
main
floor
and
then
two
additional
bedrooms
on
the
in
the
lower
level,
so
it
would
be
a
two
bedroom
basically
unit.
I
don't
know
the
exact
size.
It's
pretty
large.
A
B
Well,
I,
madam
chair,
I
would
actually
suggest
something
slightly
different.
There
seems
to
be
an
enough
confusion
about
what
and
the
plans
say.
One
thing
the
applicant
says
another
both
about.
A
I
have
to
say,
mr,
like
I'm,
I'm
leaving
I'm
leading
to
just
eliminating
those
bedrooms
in
the
basement.
E
I
would
suggest
mr
mr
ehrlich,
the
ceiling
height
is
called
out
at
seven
foot
six
in
in
the
basement.
That's
it
that
is
on
the
proposed
plan,
so
that
is
documented.
A
Q
A
And
this
is
to
the
applicant,
you
know
about
our
feelings
and
thoughts
about
that
basement.
So
when
you
see
us
again,
you
know
please
make
adjustments
accordingly.
Okay,.
F
Calling
the
next

F
BC
My
clients
wish
to
live
in
one
of
these
units
since
they're
from
south
boston.
The
other
unit
would
either
be
sold
in
a
condo
or
rented.
I
do
point
out
that
a
similar,
but
not
identical
proposal,
was
denied
without
prejudice
by
the
board
a
few
months
ago,
based
largely,
I
believe,
on
objections
noted
in
the
bbda
recommendation
and
noted
by
the
board
to
the
building
height,
which
was
not
compliant,
projecting
bays
on
the
balcony
and
the
double
width
garage
door.
BC
My
client
director's
architect
revised
the
plans
and
the
result
is
today's
plans,
which
depict
a
two-family
dwelling
that
is
compliant
in
building
height
at
40.
Feet
has
no
projecting
bays
and
has
a
one-car
garage
with
the
standard
width
door,
utilizing
an
existing
standard
with
curb
cut
on
tudor
street,
where
no
on-street
parking
is
allowed
unit.
One
would
be
an
823
square
foot
two-bedroom
unit
and
unit
two,
which
would
be
my
clients
unit,
would
be
a
family
size,
three
bedroom
unit
of
1780
square
feet.
BC
There
would
be
pocket
balconies
on
the
second
and
third
floor
levels,
a
front
balcony
at
the
fourth
floor
level
and
no
roof
deck.
Nor
is
there
any
basement
space
the
resulting
far
taking
out
the
storage
space
parking
in
balconies
is
2.6,
while
the
maximum
allowed
by
the
code
is
2.0
I'll
pause
at
this
point.
To
take
any
questions,
the
members
may.
A
A
Counselor,
if
there's
no
roof
deck,
you
still
have
a
violation
from
roof
structure,
restriction.
BC
Sometimes
there
are
incorrect
interpretations.
I
think
of
that
section.
This
is
a
four-story
building.
It's
not
a
three-story
building
with
a
roof
structure
on
the
roof,
it's
a
four-story
building,
so
I
can
only
attribute
it
to
that,
which,
I
would
say
incorrect
interpretation
of
article
68,
section
29.
A
AU
BJ
Madam
champion,
for
the
board
shy
11
from
council
fund's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
support,
as
the
council
deal
with
the
letter
to
the
board
this
morning
at
a
previous
hearing
as
well,
the
council's
support
stems
from
a
positive
community
meeting
where
no
opposition
was
expressed
from
neighbors
as
well
as
subsequent
outreach.
That
was
done
by
the
proponents
to
work
closely
with
the
abutters
to
ensure
all
concerns
were
addressed
appropriately
with
no
outstanding
issues.
BJ
Moreover,
it
is
our
understanding
that
this
latest
iteration
for
the
product
has
addressed
previous
concerns.
Regarding
the
height
there
will
be
no
projecting
bays
in
a
single
with
garage
door.
Again,
council
fund
believes
the
proponents
have
conducted
a
thorough
community
process
and
done
their
due
diligence
to
address
all
issues
from
the
last
hearing.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

you

afternoon,

would
like
to
also
reiterate
what
was

from

flynn's
office

would
also
like
to
say
that

Good

would
also
like
to

echo
the
sentiments
of

support
this

Thank
you.
I
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
quinn
val,
suggested
counselor
large,
michael
flaherty,
council
flaherty,
has
consistently
opposed
zoning
relief
under
article
68,
but
does
recognize
that
the
proponent
made
changes
to
address
previous
concerns
conducted
through
a
community
process
and
his
community
support
for
the
project.
Therefore,
the
counselor
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board
for
their
knowledge
and
wisdom
for
interpreting
zoning
law
and
encourages
the
proponent
to
continue
to
work
closely
with
his
neighbors
and
developers
to
reach
top
of
this
process.
Thank
you.
A
A
Okay,
may
I
have

mr

here
for
this
one
or
another
project.
L
All
right,
one
second,
robert
you've,
been
on
me.
AG
L
AG
J
AO
AG
Of
this
project
due
to
the
fact
that
that
fit
the
style
and
character
of
the
neighborhood,
the
neighborhood
is
generally
two-story
single-family
homes
with
some
three-story
buildings.
This
is
a
four-story
multi-family
residence
also
due
to
the
size
of
the
project.
On
such
a
small
lot
under
article
68
section
29,
the
board
of
appeals
shall
consider
infrastructure.
A
So,
mr
dis
deposit,
I
kind
of
miss
the
front
end
of
it-
is
that
you
live

I'm

I'm

Good
afternoon,
madam

the
board,
richard
lin's,
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner,
I'm
sure,
requesting
one
final
deferral
on
this
matter.
We
are
working
on
reprogramming
the
building
to
be
a
bit
more
consistent
with
what
the
community's
expectations
are.
I
do
understand
the
bpda
has
recommended
approval
for
this.
However,
we
do
include
some
below-grade
living
space
and
we
want
to
go
back
and
take
a
look
at
how
we
might
adjust
the
better.
A
F
A
Hold
on
hold
on
one
minute,
please
counselor,
mr
robinson,
did
you
say
that
you
needed
to
recuse
yourself
from
this.
E
BN
Thank
you
manchester.
We
are
seeking
a
deferral.
We
are
in
the
process
of
working
with
the
bpda
on
this
billboard
application
for
the
pine
street
inn.
We
are
working
on
modifying
the
existing
structures
and
conforming
with
their
regulations.
So
we
do
need
a
little
time.
A
Time
so
let
me
just
ask
you:
is
so
you've
already
requested
one
defile,
how
many
deferrals
are
you
up
to
so
far.
BN

To
defer,
maybe
we
can
give
mr

tolman
and
norwood
streets,
it's
known
community
commercial,
it's
actually
kind
of
a
an
interesting
area.
BC
I
had
a
project
not
long
ago
on
norwood
street
for
the
board,
so
it's
very
much
commercial
commercially
developed
on
the
opposite
sides
of
both
streets,
but
there
is
a
residential
pocket
in
between
it's
sort
of
between
morrissey
boulevard
and
the
southeast
expressway.
BC
The
proposed
building
would
be
three
residential
stores
above
a
ground
level,
garage
with
nine
parking
spaces,
six
being
full
size
and
three
compact.
This
is
an
elevator
building,
so
all
units
are
accessible.
The
floor
plans
are
virtually
identical
with
three
units
per
floor
above
garage
consisting
of
one
bedroom.
One
one
bedroom
unit
is
680
square
feet
and
two
two
bedroom
units
of
850
and
851
square
feet,
and
that
would
be
repeated
on
on
all
three
residential
floors.
The
building's
height
is
42
feet.
BC
There
is
a
head
house,
but
it
is
a
purely
functional
head
house
to
provide
access
to
the
roof's
elevator
override
for
maintenance.
There
originally
were
roof
decks
proposed,
which
were
objected
to
during
community
process
heating,
the
desires
of
the
neighbors,
my
client
removed
those
decks
the
roof
decks.
BC
The
zoning
refusal
letter
states
that
the
multi-family
use
is
forbidden
in
the
relevant
ns
sub-district
and
requires
of
arrogance.
That's
actually
incorrect.
A
multi-family
use
on
the
ground
floor
is
conditional
and
it
is
allowed
on
floors
two
and
higher,
where
these
residential
units
would
be
located.
BC
The
austrian
parking
requirement
is
not
met,
but
there
is
a
one-to-one
ratio.
The
maximum
allowed,
if
they
are
here,
is
one
while
the
proposed
far
would
be
2.5
and
variances
are
required
for
the
setbacks.
The
bays
that
you
see
there
along
norwood
street
do
not
project
over
the
public
sidewalk,
but
are
contained
within
the
lots
dimensions.
BC
Finally,
in
anticipating
a
potential
board
concern,
my
client
certainly
understands
that
were
this
to
be
approved.
The
first
floor
of
the
building
on
both
the
tullman
and
norwood
street
sides
would
benefit
from
design
review
from
the
bpda
in
order
to
soften
those
elevations
and
better
relate
the
building
to
the
pedestrian
and
by
environment,
on
both
coleman
and
norwood
streets.
With
that,
madam
chair
I'll
pause
and
take
any
questions
that
members
may
have.
AJ
L
A
Jeff,
mr
hampton,
would
you
like
to
go
on
record?
Yes,.
Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
jeff
hanson
bpda.
We
recommend
the
denial
without
prejudice,
we're
not
in
support
of
an
entire
first
floor
being
used
for
parking,
whether
it's
a
residential
district
or
a
commercial
district.
One
of
the
reasons
why
we
proposed
the
text
amendments
of
the
zoning
code,
which
unfortunately
did
not
pass
softening
the
streetscape
along
coleman
in
norwood,
would
be
an
understatement.
I
think
it
doesn't
activate
anything
in
that
area,
although
it
is
a
residential
block
in
that
area.
A
And
I
think
it's
okay,
if
we
see
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
units
because
r
and
the
number
of
parking
spaces,
because
that's
going
to
be
the
and
r
because
that's
going
to
be
the
trade-off.
A
A
But
can
I
ask
the
board's
indulgence
going
back
to
335
chelsea
street?
I
realized
that
one
of
the
violations
was
a
flood
has
district
and
I
see
that
mr
linz
is
on
and
I
don't
think
the
board
has
a
record
at
all
of
approving
units
in
flood
hazard
districts.
A
A
I
just
wanted
to
put
on
the
record
that
this
board
does
not
have
a
history
of
approving
any
development
in
flood
hazard
districts.
We
did
not
give
relief
for
that.
So
I
just
want
that
to
be
put
on
the
record
and
it
was
approved
with
a
vpd
design
review
to
eliminate
the
head
house
and
to
look
at
it
in
context
and
if
we
could
also
perhaps
add
our
a
proviso
that
there
is
no
approval
for
the
flood
hazard
district.
P
Madam
chair,
in
the
interest
of
the
meeting
having
been
closed
and
the
record
you
know
being
complete,
I
can
represent
to
the
board
that
we
have
no
anticipate.
You
know
we're
not
anticipating
non-compliance
with
the
flood
hazard
requirements.
P
This
will
require
review
by
the
conservation
commission,
so
I
can
represent
to
the
board
without
moneying
the
record
further
for
the
for
the
vote,
that's
already
been
taken
that
we
do
not
intend
to
work
our
way
around.
If
you
will
the
flight
hazard
requirement,
so
we
intend
to
be
in
compliance.
A
I
get
it,
I
get
it
so
so
we
so,
let's
move
on
to
the
next
project,
mr
fortune,.
F
BB
Madam
chair,
what's
proposed
for
this
parcel
is
a
new
construction
ground
up
three
family
basement
would
house
mechanical
and
other
storage
related
items.
There
was
basically
three
then
proposed
levels
above
two
beds:
two
baths
of
approximately
1100
square
foot,
each
all
having
relatively
similar
footprints
from
first
through
third
floor.
BB
We
are
on
a
corner
a
lot
and
then
the
owner
also
controls
the
an
ancillary
parcel
two
parcels
over
which
is
proposed
for
parking
three
spaces
to
service
these
three
units.
It
is
not
on
site.
Hence
the
cited
violations
between
the
part
this
proposed
parcel
and
the
parking
parcel
is
another
three
family
currently
under
construction.
There's
been
some
general
concern
in
the
neighborhood
that
that
was
our
parcel,
but
that
was
another
recently
approved
three
family
approved
by
the
board
that
is
currently
under
construction.
A
Okay,
let
me
ask
a
couple
of
questions:
where
is
the?
How
is
the
fuzz
flow
unit
accessible.
BB
I
am
uncertain,
but
it
wasn't
a
sighted
violation,
so
I
the
owner,
is
on
the
fault,
so
potentially
the
owner
can
advise-
or
I
can
get
back
to
you
that
and
madam
chair.
E
The
plans
are
fine,
there's,
no,
no
bedrooms
or
anything
shown
in
the
basement.
I
do
have
a
I
had
a
similar
question.
I
believe
the
common
access
point
has
to
be
accessible
in
a
three
family,
so
I
don't
know
if
the
full
unit
needs
to
be,
but
I
do
think
there's
something
to
be
considered
if
this
is
approved
through
bpda
design
at
the
street
level.
F
F
A
You
thank
you,
he's
undercover,
okay,
any
questions
from
the
board
is
anybody
here
to
speak
in
support
of
this
proposal
or
in
opposition.
BO
One
morning,
madam
madam
chair,
members
of
the
board,
all
these
people
here
from
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
regular
support
of
this
proposal.
There
was
a
butters
meeting
run
by
the
mayor's
office
on
april
28
2021,
where
issues
of
parking
and
food
engineering
were
addressed.
We
believe
that
has
been
diligent
after
two
communicate
with
community.
BO
Also,
we
asked
sorry
while
we
what
we
know
there
is
both
opposition
and
support
for
the
proposal
we
we
again
are
going
to
be
in
support.
We
believe
that
the
sentiment
of
the
community
would
be
to
see
a
building
at
765
washington
instead
of
a
vacant
lot.
We
we
just
act
that
the
applicant
can
continue
their
outreach
and
maintain
maintain
our
community
members.
Thank
you.
L
C
Well,
actually,
I
am
the
architect.
BB
A
BB
Sure,
actually,
he
can
answer
us
to
80
accessible
first,
four
units.
BF
Hello,
my
name
is
martin
evans.
My
office
is
at
101
federal
street
suite
1900
boston
mass.
I
am
a
community
activist,
I
run
a
volunteer
program
called
compassionate
real
estate
solutions
and
I
teach
housing
labs
that
are
about
economic
inclusion
and
increasing
home
ownership.
I've
I
often
work
with
developers
in
neighborhoods
to
make
sure
that
people
in
the
neighborhoods
get
priority
for
rentals
or
to
qualify
them
for
condos.
In
this
case,
I
was
a
part
of
a
door-to-door.
Y
Hey
my
name
is
megan
nester,
I'm
at
43
armendine
street,
I'm
in
the
competition
of
this
project,
there's
a
great
concern
for
density
overcrowding,
safety
because
of
the
current
construction.
That's
there
I
can't
imagine
another
building
going
to
go
up.
The
space
looks
like
it's
there
just
for
enough
for,
like
a
driveway
or
a
side
yard,
not
another
building,
there's
been
already
several
condos
added
to
orphan
dine
street
and
there's
a
huge
parking
issue
and
overcrowding.
Y
The
ymca
is
right
across
the
street
and
though
the
ymca
has
parking
a
lot
of
people
come
onto
washington
and
armadine
street
to
park
to
be
able
to
go
to
the
ymca,
the
building
that's
already
being
constructed.
There
is
large
and
a
three-story
building
and
now
you're
gonna
put
another
three-story
building
next
to
it.
It's
way
too
close
and
causing
overcrowding
in
our
neighborhood.
A
Okay
may
ask
counselor,
can
you
respond
to
the
issue
about
the
construction
that's
about
in
this
building?
Can
you
give
us
a
sense
of
context.
BB
Yes,
madam
chair,
so
that
parcel
also
required
zoning
relief,
which
was
granted
by
this
board.
It's
currently
under
construction.
The
building
envelope
is
nearly
completed.
I
would
say
that
by
the
time
we
are
able
to
proceed
with
construction.
BB
The
construction
immediately
to
our
right
on
the
abutting
parcel
will
be
largely
completed,
so
I
think
that,
with
you
know,
having
a
construction
supervisor
or
otherwise,
I
would
envision
this
a
being
a
moot
point.
By
the
time
we
initiate
construction
but
b.
Also,
I
think
that
we
can
work
in
in
harmony
with
our
a
budding
parcel
if
it
is
still
under
construction
and
have
some
type
of
construction
related
supervisor
available.
If
there's
any
greater
concerns.
A
And-
and
did
you
put
it
on
the
record
that
it's
not
a
part
of
this
development
by
this
developer.
E
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
no
building
code
relief
or
maab
relief,
bpda
design,
review.

at

ford

in
braintree
with
me
this
afternoon
is
tony
ferraro
who's.
The
developer
on
this.
A
Proposal
so
mr
porgini
I'm
trying
to
decide.
Why
are
you
here
so
are
you
here
just
for
the
subdivision.
S
Well,
madam
chair,
because
of
if,
as
mr
fortune
read
out,
we
have
an
extension
of
a
non-conforming
use
because
it's
an
existing
three
family
and
it's
currently
in
a
two-family
zone
parking
as
you
know,
in
hyde
park,
is
two
spaces
per
unit.
We're
proposing
one
and
that
was
kind
of
a
consolation
with
working
with
the
community
with
respect
to
open
space
and
then
open
space
is
1750
per
unit
and
we're
buying
just
about
1300
square
feet
per
unit.
A
So
can
miss
edwards.
Can
you
go
back
to
the
previous
so
so
thought
a
will.
Have
that
three
family
dwelling?
Are
you
proposing
construction
on
bnc.
S
A
Okay,
okay,
so
you're
here
basically
today
to
get
approval
of
the
subdivision
and
for
approval
for
the
violation.
That's
triggered
for
the
free
family
in
a
two-family
district.
S
AU
Yes
good
afternoon,
madam

members
of
the

danielle

with
the

of

and
our

would
like
to
go

in

of
this
proposal,
and
a
butter's
meeting
was
held
on
may
19th
when
neighbors
expressed
support
in
this
project.
In
addition,
applicants
have
received
numerous
letters
of
support
from
abutters.
We
do
not
believe
that
this

will
negatively
impact

like
to
support
it
moving
forward.

C
A
P
You
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lynn's
245
sumner
street
espos,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
of
olney
capital.
Madam
chair,
this
is
a
very
interesting
project
and
one
that
certainly
could
use
a
little
bit
of
background.
We
we
have
a
pre-existing
non-conforming
structure
located
what
could
best
be
described
as
an
island
at
the
end
of
at
the
intersection
of
wardman
and
ashley
street,
there
is
a
pre-existing,
one-story
industrial
building
located
on
the
site.
P
We
have
gone
to
some
great
lengths
with
our
architect
eric
zacherson
to
come
up
with
something
that
we
feel
is
relatively
unique,
since
this
is
somewhat
of
a
a
gateway
area,
as
you
come
off
of
mclong
highway
to
the
orient
heights
neighborhood.
So,
as
you
can
see
here
in
the
photo,
the
existing
concrete
building
that
again
sits
at
the
corner
of
boardman
and
ashley
street,
and
our
proposal
is
to
replace
this
with
a
flat
iron
style
building
that
we've
worked
very
diligently
on
trying
to
design
to
make
work
for
this
particular
site.
P
Unlike
a
lot
of
the
projects
that
I
present,
this
site
certainly
has
a
lot
of
challenges
from
a
zoning
standpoint
being
triangular
in
shape
and
not
really
having
the
traditional
layout,
as
we
typically
see
with
frontage
along
our
shorter
frames,
go
on
the
street
with
depth
going
back
and
forth.
If
we
could
just
jump
to
the
rendering
I
can
get
right
into
what
we're
trying
to
do.
AG
Sorry
start
interject,
but
I'm
just
looking
at
this.
This
file
can
you
can
you
represent?
Who
the
owner
is?
Is
this
gonna
come
off.
P
A
Okay,
so,
given
that
information
that
we
have
two
refusals,
mr
lens,
you
have
a
choice.
So,
first,
if
you
need,
if
you
proceed,
you
need
all
five
of
us
in
support
for
the
motion
to
carry.
The
second
option
is
for
you
to
defer
to
a
later
date
when
there
is
a
possibility
of
having
a
more
robust
board.
P
So
we
have
here
just
some
precedent
images
of
ideas
that
we
looked
at
for
similar
style
buildings
as
well
as
similar
layouts
for
for
a
lot
not
unlike
ours,
and
if
we
scroll
down
to
the
example
that
we've
come
up
with
so
eric
is
probably
the
best
one
to
look
at
next
one,
please,
there
we
go
so
eric
has
come
up
with
a
design
that
we
feel
works
very
well
for
this
particular
site
because
of
the
shape
of
this
lot,
and
certainly,
as
you
can
see
here,
we
are
using
materials
that
are
not
typical
for
a
development
project
of
this
size
and
again,
the
intent
here
is
to
try
to
create
something
that
has
a
very
good
presence
for
this
area.
P
This
is
relatively
mixed.
There
are
one
two
and
three
family
dwellings
in
the
immediate
vicinity,
there's
also
a
very
large
hotel,
the
hilton
garden
inn,
as
well
as
a
community
rec
center
across
the
street
and
a
ball
field,
as
you
can
see
here
from
the
from
the
proposed
rendering
the
ground
level,
which
would
have
access
from
ashley
street,
which
is
the
opposite
side.
This
is
the
more
busier
street
on
boardman.
I
would
have
access
to
a
garage
at
the
ground
level
that
would
accommodate
a
total
of
seven
parking
spaces.
P
We
then
would
have
one
unit
which
would
be
an
ada
accessible
unit
located
at
the
lower
level.
We
are
in
the
flood
hazard
plane
and
we
we
would
certainly
be
able
to
comply
with
flood
requirements
based
upon
the
elevation
that
we've
reviewed
with
our
engineer,
and
that
unit
will
still
be
able
to
be
accommodated
for
persons
with
disabilities.
P
We
then
propose
to
have
six
units
on
the
upper
two
levels,
as
well
as
private
roof
decks
that
will
be
accessed
by
hatch
from
internal
stairwells
within
the
units.
If
we
want
to
jump
to
the
next
slide,
we
might
be
able
to
show
a
little
bit
different
on
the
elevation
as
we're
doing
that.
Let
me
just
run
through
quickly
the
unit
sizes.
We
have
a
mix
of
one
in
two
bedroom
units.
The
one-bedroom
units
are
roughly
around
750
or
so
square
feet.
P
Our
two-bedroom
units
range
from
970
square
feet
to
about
a
little
over
1100
square
feet,
as
you
can
see
here
from
the
ground
level.
Plan
ashley
street
again,
that
is
the
less
traveled
street,
is
where
the
garage
entrance
will
be
located
and
the
parking
spaces
will
be
located
towards
the
wider
rear
portion
of
the
building.
You
can
see
in
the
front
point,
madam
chair,
that
we
do
have
the
ada
accessible
unit
that
is
located
as
as
the
first
ground
level
unit
you
can
come
to
the
next
time.
Please.
P
As
we
go
up
the
building,
this
is
units
two
three
and
four
and
again
based
upon
the
fact
that
the
lot
itself
is
somewhat
varied
in
width.
These
units
will
all
have
sort
of
a
unique
size
layout
and
shape,
but
we're
able
to
certainly
accommodate
a
variety
of
size
units
based
upon
the
layout
next
slide.
Please,
and
then
we
get
to
our
top
level.
P
P
And
again,
the
roof
decks
again
accessed
internally
and
not
by
way
of
head
house.
This
is
a
for
all
intents
and
purpose
of
three-story
building,
so
we
can
easily
accommodate
access
to
the
roof
decks
without
the
necessity
of
the
head
house
manager.
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
relief
that
would
be
necessary
for
this
project.
P
This
is
located
at
2f4,
000
district.
The
maximum
number
of
units
is
two
on
a
lot.
We
are
proposing
seven
and
therefore
relief
would
be
necessary,
but
I
would
point
out
that
in
doing
so,
we
would
be
eliminating
an
industrial
use
that
is
located
pretty
much
within
the
heart
of
a
residential
neighborhood.
With
respect
to
lot
size.
P
The
existing
condition
again
is
already
non-conforming,
so
in
order
to
propose
any
any
use,
whether
it's
this
use
or
some
other
use
on
the
site,
we
would
require
a
variance
and
therefore
we
believe
the
variance
for
lot
size
is
not
as
significant
as
other
variances
that
are
typically
requested
for
lot
size
on
other
projects.
Our
lot
width,
we
do
have
frontage
and
width
of
about
80
feet
along
boardman
street
and
therefore
that
exceeds
the
40-foot
requirement
that
is
necessary
under
article
53.
P
P
A
The
impeachment
counselor
counselor,
thank
you
handsome.
Looking
building
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
plans.
E
The
plans
are
good.
I
I
agree.
It's
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
nice
looking
building.
I
I
think
the
the
only
piece
I'm
struggling
a
little
bit
is
just
the
the
urban
context
of
the
street
and
sidewalk
we've
seen
some
other
projects
that
I
think
this
could
benefit
from
potentially
looking
at
the
point
in
the
corner
with
introducing
some
landscape.
So
I
think
if
this
goes
forward,
it
would
be
nice
to
recommend
some
urban
design
review
with
the
bpda.
E
P
Robinson
to
the
chair,
if
I
may,
the
city
of
boston
is
actually
undertaking
this.
This
point
that
you
see
here
this
intersecting
point
between
boardman
and
ashley
street
is
actually
going
through
a
study
right
now
for
the
city
to
introduce
some
traffic
bombing
for
that
area.
We've
indicated
and
expressed
that
to
that
department
that
we
were,
we
would
be
on
board
if
this
project
were
approved,
to
contribute
to
some
type
of
landscaping,
buffer
or
whatever
they
feel
is
an
appropriate
addition
to
that
point.
P
A
And
any
plans
to
kind
of
reinforce
the
front
of
the
building
if,
in
fact,
traffic
calming
is
recommended
that
nobody
veers
off
into
that
living
room
or
something.
P
Yeah,
a
good
good
question.
I'm
sure
I
think
what
we're,
including
again
the
city
of
austin's
plan
for
this
point,
includes
a
lot
of
those
I
mean
right
now
there
I
believe
there
are
temporary
bollards
in
the
point,
but
there's
going
to
be
a
more
permanent
solution.
I
know
that
that
planning
is
ongoing
and,
as
I
said,
I
know,
we've
been
in
touch
with
the
planning
department.
B
Yeah,
I
have
one
question
I
I
agree.
It's
a
very
nice
looking
design
sterling
I
it's
hard
to
tell
from
the
contacts.
It
almost
appears
like
it's
this
massive
queen
mary
in
the
middle
of
a
lot
of
little
pleasure
bows.
B
Is
it?
Is
it
a
little
bit
outsized
for
context
so.
P
You
know
that
is
a
question
that
come
up
in
the
process.
Ashley
street,
which
is
relatively
wide
in
that
area,
does
have
one
in
two
families
across
the
street
and
then
you
know
just
depends
on
the
way
you
look
at
it.
Mr
ehrlich,
I
think,
if
you're
looking
at
it
from
the
five-story
hotel,
which
is
across
the
street,
it
seems
like
it's
a
good
fit.
I
think,
if
you
looked
at
from
the
ballpark,
it
seems
like
it's
a
good
fit.
P
I
think
it's
all
perspective
here
and
there's
really,
you
know
limited
options
of
what
we
can
do.
You
know
thinking
about
townhouses
or
something
along
those
lines,
just
just
without
the
practical
fit
for
this
site.
So
a
flatiron
seems
to
be
the
best
approach
that
the
architect
figured.
We
really,
I
believe,
worked
hard
to
try
to
make
this.
You
know
unique.
I
understand
it's
a
little
different,
but
this
is
on
a
main
thoroughfare
into
east
boston
oregon.
So
it
feels
inappropriate,
yeah.
B
T
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
lena
tremeli,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
naval
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
in
opposition
for
this
proposal
during
the
community
process.
This
proposal
received
strong
support
from
the
orange
heights
neighborhood
council
and
from
a
buyers
who
are
concerns
about
the
number
of
units,
the
density,
the
massive,
the
height
of
the
building
parking
and
roof
decks
and
as
well
of
the
lack
of
the
green
space.
Thank
you.

Yes,

Good
afternoon
roger

at
105,
boardman

I
lived
directly
across
the
street
for
about
six
and
a
half
years.
I
strongly
support
this
development.
BR
I
believe
the
project
will
be
a
great
improvement
from
the
current
industrial
use,
especially
at
that
location.
I've.
L
G
In
opposition
robert
de
mayo,
125
ashley
street
director
butler
across
the
street
from
the
unit
from
the
proposed
building
it's
my
opposition
is
based
on
the
impacts
on
my
house,
particularly
the
shadowing,
the
density
and
multitasking.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
de
mayo,
counselor
response.
P
You
know,
madam
chair,
I
I
certainly
appreciate
that
we
did
have
a
chance
to
speak
with
those
who
did
raise
concerns
about
this
and
we've
modified.
I
know
the
board
doesn't
really
want
to
hear
about
the
iterations
of
this.
We
have
modified
this
project
dramatically
from
its
original
proposed
height
and
size.
P
As
I
said
in
my
opening
remarks,
this
is
a
very
unique
site
and
it's
it's
difficult
to
really
look
at
redeveloping
and,
if
there's
a
desire
to
get
rid
of
an
industrial
use
like
this,
there
needs
to
be
some
flexibility
of
what
goes
on
the
site.
I'm
sure
bpda
could
certainly
make
some
tweaks
and
adjustments
to
the
extent
that
context
is
not
invented,
but
I
feel
that
you
know
we're
on
the
right
track
to
do
a
very
attractive
building
for
this
site.
P
You
know
we
believe
that
the
impacts
are
going
to
be
minimized
based
upon
how
we've
redesigned
it.
So
I
respectfully
ask
the
board
to
support
the
petition.
E
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
the
bpda
design
route,
especially
looking
at
the
urban
condition
and
working
with
the
city
on
that.
I
think
that
the
building
probably
could
also
you
know,
benefit
from
potentially
some
outdoor
space
or
some
decks
that
break
down
the
massing
a
little
bit
that
might
help
with
some
of
the
buttering
conditions.
So
I
think
bpda
design
review
will
help
move
this
project
forward
and
please
keep
in
touch
with
the
butters.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

P
F
You
very
much
calling
your
next
two

there's
a

This
is
a
property
at
233

to
be
split
into
two
lots.
The
total

size
also
currently
is

There's

As

the

the

the

Please.
BS
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
pamela
vardy,
with
an
address
of
233
metropolitan
avenue
in
roslindale,
my
family
and
I
are
presenting
a
single
family
development
on
raw
land
on
233
metropolitan
avenue.
So
currently,
as
mentioned,
the
total
lot
size
is
14
019
square
feet.
So
in
the
in
lot,
a
which
is
the
front
facing
the
street.
There
is
a
condo
association,
recognized
of
two
residential
units
and
the
back
lot
is
actually
a
land
unit.
BS
A
BS
That
is
correct
and
there
is
a
20-foot
easement
for
the
driveway
for
access
for
fire
emergencies.
BS
A
Looking
at
the
topography,
correct,
that's
you
have
a
bit
of
a
slope
in
the
back.
BS
A
Yeah
you,
you
kind
of
have
to
know
that
you
know
this
ward
is,
has
not
been
very
open
to
having
to
a
subdivision
created
in
this
way,
because
what
it
does
is
it
removes
the
privacy
for
the
abutters
not
only
on
the
left
and
the
right,
but
on
the
rear
by
having
all
this
activity
in
the
backyard.
A
But
so
I
I
just
put
that
out
there
and
just
to
know
to
also
let
you
know
that
there
is
no
precedent.
You
have
put
an
application
and
we
do
need
to
hear
your
case.
So
please
go
ahead
and
tell
us
about
your
your
proposal.
BS
Yes,
thank
you
very
much,
madam
madam
chair.
Yes,
so
there
is
a
20-foot
easement
that
basically
is
the
driveway
that
leads
all
the
way
to
this
back
unit.
It's
essentially
a
single
family.
It's
three
bedrooms,
three
bathrooms:
it's
about
3081
square
feet.
We
wanted
it
to
be
modest
and
in
line
with
what's
being
built
in
the
neighborhood
and
because
the
neighborhood
is
single-family
owner-occupied
units,
that's
exactly
what
we
wanted
to
build
here.
BS
That's
why
my
family-
and
I
are
proposing
this
completely
understood
regarding
the
private
privacy
regarding
the
neighbors,
and
we
want
to
honor
that
as
much
as
possible,
it's
been
a
little
bit
difficult
with
the
neighbors,
because
we
also
have
stated
you
know
we
can
put
up
as
many
trees
to
emulate
exactly
what's
there
to
keep
that
privacy.
We
don't
want
to
take
that
away
by
any
means.
So
that's
been
our
our
goal.
This
this
entire
time
is
to
work
with
the
community
to
create
something
that
isn't
as
disruptive.
A
And
what
is
the
zoning
district
here,
one
of
six
thousand
and
so
what
one
of
six
thousand
and
what's
the
the
lot
size
here,
it's
14
000
all
together.
BS
14
000
18.
yep
and
the
proposed
block
for
this
subdivision
is
6894,
where
this
single
family
would.
A
Got
it
got
it?
Okay,
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
E
The
the
plans
look
good,
no
questions
on
what
is
being
proposed.
BM
BM
D
AA
AB
I
L
No,
but
I
did
receive
two
two
messages
in
the
chat
the
people
had
logged
off
early,
but
they
were
in
support
of
the
project.
They
were
in
support.
Okay,.

Good
afternoon,

So
this
so
as
far
as
I
understand
it,
this
case
was
held
on
march
9th
and
at
that
point
the
board
made
a
decision
to
deny
it,
given
the
fact
that
it
looks
like
a
very
narrow
driveway
and
there
looks
like
there
might
be
some
issues
with
that
and
that
the
fact
that
part
of
the
cars
would
be
in
the
acknowledged
front
yard.
A
A
Is
that
correct,
mr
broome
counselor
broome.
Q
A
Okay,
okay,
so
the
board
we
have
considered
this
case.
We've
made
a
decision,
we've
looked
at
it
from
a
technical
level
and
I
need
a
sense
from
the
from
you
whether
we
want
to
have
this
back
on
the
agenda
or
not.
A
You
know
counselor
they
they're
unless
you
knock
down
a
wall
to
that
building
or
you
have
access
to
the
a
budding
building.
I
budding
little
side
yard.
You
know
this
is
a
very
difficult
case
to
argue
for
our
re-hearing
of
it
against.
A
Any
opposed
motion
carries
the
meeting
is
now
adjourned.
If
I
could
ask
board
members
to
stay
on
for
about
five.
