From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearing 11-14-17
Description
Zoning regulates the use and dimensional boundaries of privately owned buildings and land. The Zoning code is in place to protect the neighborhoods from the construction of buildings or structures that do not fit into the context of a neighborhood. The Zoning Board of Appeal hears appeals for varying the application of the Zoning Code and determines when it is appropriate to grant deviations from code restrictions.

I
Record
please
good
morning,
mr.
chair
members,
the
board,
my
name
is
Mark.
Lucas
I
represent
the
owner
of
a
property,
Boston
Realty
industrial
trust
group
with
me
as
David
Shulman
who's,
the
trustee
and
owner
of
the
building
and
buyout
Bradley,
the
architect
of
record
for
the
project.
Shall
we
start
with.
I
So
the
existing
structure
has
windows
on
a
side
wall
of
the
building
in
existence
since
of
these
1977,
when
my
clients
family
first
acquired
this
building
and
continuously
owned
the
building.
Since
then,
I've
submitted
a
report
from
our
code
consultant
building
fire
and
access
incorporated,
outlining
that
under
the
international
existing
building
code,
openings
in
existing
walls
are
permitted
and
shall
be
accepted,
provided
that
the
degree
of
hazard
is
not
increased
and
for
this
particular
property.
I
The
change
of
views
on
the
first
floor
is
not
increasing
the
hazard
and
then
on
the
upper
two
floors,
which
we
residential
and
again
the
code
consultants
report
indicates
that
the
relative
hazard
index
is
not
changing
and
therefore
section
nine
twelve
point
six
point:
two
of
the
international
existing
building
code
is
applicable,
which
simply
provides
when
a
change
in
occupancy
classification
is
made
to
an
equal
or
lesser
hazard
category.
As
shown
in
table
nine
twelve
point.
Six
existing
exterior
walls,
including
opening,
shall
be
accepted
and
I've
submitted.
F
A
I
I
A
simple
dimensional
issue
is
insufficient
usable
open
space.
The
building
is
100%
lot
coverage.
So
by
creating
additional
dwelling
units
on
the
second
and
third
floor,
we
simply
don't
have
any
open
space
on
the
property
to
create
50
square
foot
per
dwelling
unit
as
required.
So
we
seek
a
variance
from
the
usable
open
space
provision
there.
It
is
a
parking
requirement,
of
course,
for
the
creation
of
additional
residential
units.
There
currently
is
one
residential
unit
and
we
are
increasing
to
seven
residential
units.
I
A
I
Spaces
existing
zero
proposed
simply
no
place
to
put
them
and
then
finally,
the
third
issue
is
article
25.
The
flood
hazard
district
under
Article
25,
section
5,
subsection
4
for
pre-existing
structures
may
be
reconstructed
or
change,
provided
that
any
is
not
increased
and
that
this
Lord
may
grant
a
judicious
use
permit
for
a
preexisting
non-conforming
building.
I
It's
my
understanding
that
what
this
board
seeks
with
respect
to
existing
buildings
under
Article
25
is
to
indeed
not
increase
any
nonconformity,
thereby
nothing
in
the
basement.
No
occupied
space
will
be
in
the
basement
and,
more
importantly,
no
mechanical
systems
are
in
the
basement
and
no
electrical
panels
are
in
the
basement
so
that
we're
not
increasing
or
we're
jeopardizing
any
of
the
building
systems,
as
it
relates
to
the
flood
hazard.

B
K
Morning,
mr.
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
Ruth
Suleman
with
Nixon
Peabody
on
behalf
of
the
applicant,
which
is
a
joint
venture
between
st.
Francis
house
in
the
planning
office
for
urban
affairs.
With
me
as
bill
Grogan
from
the
planning
office
and
Steve
Garvin
from
semi
Otis,
a
few
things
to
clarify
the
denial
letter
was
actually
incorrect
in
two
ways.
This
is
not
temporary
housing.
This
is
permanent
housing
for
formerly
homeless
people.
Forty
six
units-
it
doesn't
matter
with
respect
to
the
uses
themselves,
but
the
actual
description
is
we
won't.
We
just
want
to
be
clear.
K
This
is
it
doesn't
impact
the
zoning
there
is
an
improper
citation
to
the
off
street
parking.
However,
in
the
appeal
we
we
raised
this
and
we're
working
with
ISD
to
try
to
correct
this
as
well.
Pursuant
to
section
38,
22
off
street
parking
is
not
required
unless
a
property
is
in
the
PVA.
This
property
is
not
in
the
PDA,
so
we
believe
that
was
improperly
cited
and
that
no
relief
is
required
for
off
street
parking.

Now
it's
three
floors:
the
owner
would
like
to
extend
the
two
floors
down
to
grade,
partly
because
it
gives
it
a
better
foundation
to
rest
on
and
partly
because
it
supplies
more
light,
so
those
two
floors
and
the
living
spaces.
The
square
footage
that
the
well
I
guess.
The
first
thing
they
cited
was
the
overlap
of
the
rear
yard
setback.
L
L
L
And
the
the
existing
situation
is
a
very
ancient
and
somewhat
unsafe
hatch
that
just
is
physically
lifted
to
gain
access,
and
it's
only
1
foot
9
wide.
So
it
clearly
has
to
be
replaced
in
any
case,
because
the
head
house
projects,
above
the
line
on
the
roof
I've,
had
to
assign
40
square
feet
to
that
as
additional
and
if
they
are
remainder

the
FA
R
is
due
to
reconfiguration
of
closet
space
within
the
existing
outline
of
the

which
is
a
requirement.
That
is
deep,
pointed
out
to
me.

We
propose
the

end

which
beats
with
the

provisions.

these

blended

We
have
10

off
the

edge
and
19
height.
So
it's
in
keeping
with
the
designs
that
we've
been
using
it's
similar
to
a
competitor's
installation
across
the
street.
S
We
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
particularly
it's
still
called
the
antennas
and
provide
how
to
get

in
that
area.
What's
the

used
in

it's

good
morning.
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
board
I'm
here
with
my
client
compassionate
organics,
the
CEO
Jeff
Rylander
who's,
also
a
lifelong
resident
of
the
Back
Bay
and
a
patient
suffering
with
multiple
sclerosis
and
went
through
a
life-changing
event
when
he
discovered
the
benefits
of
medical
marijuana.
He
has
not
had
a
seizure
since
he
began
taking
medical
marijuana,
we're
also
at
the
table
with
Dan
lynskey.
H
T
Did
supplement
the
record
earlier
with
a
memorandum
on
the
on
the
matter
that
goes
into
much
greater
detail,
but
I've
provided
plans
for
the
members
of
the
board.
We've
had
a
thorough
community
process,
beginning
in
July
with
the
Neighborhood
Association
in
the
back
Bay's
building
use
committee.
We
then
met
again
with
NAB
August
9th.
It
was
a
follow-up
meeting
and
then
we
had
an
abutters
meeting
on
September
18th
as
well.
We
were
we
know
that
NAB
is
formally
opposed
today,
but
we
were
pleased
that
we
initially
did
receive
a
vote
of
support
from
their
committee.
T
I,
don't
know
what
happened
to
change
that
we
have
made
several
commitments
through
this
community
process.
The
most
substantial
is
that
this
will
be
a
medical
only
facility.
That's
a
pretty
significant
commitment
for
Jeff
to
make
this
close
to
recreational
starting
in
in
Massachusetts,
but
he
made
it
because
he
wanted
to
get
there
on
Newbury
Street
wanted
to
get
the
support
of
the
community.
N
Yes,
there
has
been
an
extensive
process,
we
did
meet
with
NAB
at
a
community
forum
and
we
also
I
also
hosted
in
a
butters
meeting
at
the
library
September
18th
I
have
received
numerous
emails
in
calls
regarding
this
proposal
and
at
this
time
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
would
like
to
say
that
we
are
simply
upholding
the
City
Council
vote
on
this
case,
so
we're
not
taking
a
position
of
support
or
opposition
on
the
actual
dispensary
we're
just
in
support,
so
they
are
a
vote
of
non
opposition
to
move
it
forward.
Thank.

So
he
effectively
ties
opioid
abuse
and
addiction
to
medical
marijuana
has
as
being
a
positive
benefit.
So
in
places
where
medical
marijuana
exists,
opioid
abuse,
Falls
many
thinks
it
would
be.
A
welcome
addition
to
our
neighborhood
and
the
members
are
directly
accountable
to
Back

as
they
are

Mr.

members,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Ann
Hochberg
I'm,
the
attorney
for
the
owner
of
the
building
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
few
points
in
support
of
change
of
use.
Historically,
the
lower
doober
Street
lower
part
Newbury
Street,
has
been
a
unique
Boston
Business
area,
both
industrial
retail,
it's
sort
of
been
the
funkier
end
of
Newbury
Street,
the
father
of
the
current
owner
of
the
site
bought
the
building
in
1962
previously
was
a
hardware
store
and
then
an
art
supply
store
and
then
a
recording
studio.
There
was
an
article.
X
There
was
a
Boston
magazine
or
Boston
Globe
magazine
featuring
this
location,
331
Newbury
Street
that
showed
showed
photographs
of
when
it
was
synchros,
Sound
and
used
by
local
Boston
artists
such
as
Bonnie,
Raitt,
Aerosmith
and
the
cars
to
record
shake
it
up
there.
In
any
event,
we
we
support
this
use,
obviously,
and
we
think
the
neighborhood
opposition
to
the
use
may
have
the
effect
of
driving
out
a
locally
owned
small
business
that
has
been
there
for
decades.
Retail
down
at
that
end
of
the
street
and
in
general
has
been
down.

After
sustaining
an
injury
about
three
years
ago,
Isle
a
serrated
in
my
left,
wrist
I,
was
on
opiates
for
more
than
a
month
straight
and
then
when
I
was
transitioned
to
get
off
opiates
and
basically
given
a
cocktail
of
non
opiate
drugs,
which
seemed
to
affect
my
life
more
than
opiates,
it
was
Jeff
who
mentioned
that
I
should
try.
Medicinal
marijuana
and
I
can
simply
say
that
it
was
a
pivotal
point
in
my
recovery,
going
through
physical
therapy
and
workers
rehab,
and
not
having
to
rely
on.
A

Doctor

I've
worked

Commonwealth
resident
of
Back
Bay
member
of
nab.
The
is
the
attorney
mentioned.
The
licensing
and
building
use
committee
of
nab
did
rule
in
favor
of
this.
It's
the
executive,
which
we
don't
understand
exactly
why
that
took
a
stand
against
it
and
I've
been
blind
copied
on
letters
from
other
members
of
the
executive
who
were
actually
in
favor
of
it.
Z
But
it
would
also
help
to
eliminate
the
stigma
around
medical
marijuana.
I
have
a
colleague
at
Harvard
who
has
a
prescription
for
medical
marijuana
and
he
is
still
buying
in
a
black
market
because
there
is
not
a
safe
access
place
for
him.
So
it's
a
policy
issue.
I
think
the
city
should
take
very
seriously
about
where.
A
AA
Good
morning,
mr.
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Kate
Bell
speaking
on
behalf
of
Boston
city
councilor,
Josh
Newcomb.
After
careful
consideration,
extensive
discussion
with
both
proponents
and
neighbors,
our
office
has
determined
that
this
location
is
not
the
right
place
for
medical
marijuana
dispensary.
We
believe
that
such
a
use
would
not
be
in
the
best
interest
of
the
neighborhood,
as
we
promised
at
the
outset
of
this
process.
We've
kept
an
open
mind
about
the
proposal.
AA
They've
attended,
numerous
public
meetings
heard
from
both
opponent
and
their
supporters,
as
well
as
those
opposed
to
the
project.
We
really
want
to
commend
mr.
Roger
and
his
team
for
their
community
outreach
and
for
attempting
to
reach
a
compromise
with
all
of
our
concerned
neighbors,
but
ultimately,
after
considering
all
the
factors,
in
our
opinion,
a
medical
marijuana
dispensary
is
not
an
appropriate
use
for
this
particular
block
of
Newbury
Street.
AA
If
serious
concerns
about
traffic
deliveries
and
the
precedent
that
this
could
set
for
the
neighborhood
of
the
Back
Bay,
we
do
encourage
the
proponent
to
look
for
an
alternative
location
in
this
neighborhood.
That
does
not
abut
residence
links.
Excuse
me,
and
it's
not
located
on
what
is
arguably
Boston's
premier
retail
streets.
Thank
you.

My
name

Oliver
Kahn
I
live
in
the
birch
mansion
right
around
the
corner
from
this
proposed
dispensary
and
all
my
friends
and
I
are
against
this,
because
it'll
bring
undesirable
elements
into
the
neighborhood,
and
just
so
you
know
what
I
mean
they're
they're
army
vets
with
PTSD,
and
we
don't
want
them
in
their
neighborhood.
You
know
just
give
me
a
break,
they
can
get
over
it,
and
the
second
thing
is
people
with
wheelchairs
with
MS
or
whatever.
A
AB
AC
AC
There
are
confusing
messages
as
to
whether
this
site
is
in
fact
acceptable
because
of
the
proximity
of
two
locations
at
the
Music
School
directly
across
the
street,
and
the
Boston
Architectural
Center,
where
quote
children
commonly
gather
and
the
regulations
issued
by
the
state
which,
for
the
time
being,
are
in
place
until
the
cannabis
Control
Commission
issues.
New
regulations
specifically
prohibit
that
so
why
we
are
even
here,
given
the
proximity
of
500
feet
to
two
of
those.
These
is
an
appropriate
question.
AC
AC
So
we
believe
the
first
criterion
for
the
granting
is
that
the
new
use
will
not
in
fact
be
more
detrimental
or
objectionable
than
the
current
use.
We
believe
it
would
be
and
we'll
explain
the
reasons.
Can
you
explain
me
quickly
sure
absolutely
we
think
it
will
adversely
affect
the
neighborhood
because
of
the
difficulties
with
deliveries
on
narrow
streets
in
an
alley.
Cash
and
product
has
to
be
delivered
by
our
armored
trucks.
A
AC
Therefore,
we
question
where
people
will
consume
the
product,
perhaps
in
the
alley,
and
we
think
that
these
specific
locations-
because
it
is
a
carriage
house
protected
by
the
Back
Bay
architectural
Commission,
in
fact-
is
not
an
appropriate
facility
because
of
the
inability
to
have
the
access.
The
sally
port,
so-called
like
entry
system
called
for,
and
the
inability
to
have
major
changes
to
the
outside
of
the
building.
Because
the
architectural
controls.
A
We
have
a
long
agenda
today
and
I
would
ask
that
you
be
respectful.
Mr.
de
Karen
talked
about
the
issue
of
deliveries
houses
to
pedestrians.
Basically,
if
it
seems
like
a
provocation,
if
you
don't
have
anything
new
to
say,
please
put
your
name
and
address
in
the
record
and
state
your
opposition,
and
that's
it.
Thank
you.
Go
ahead.
Thank.
R
You,
my
name,
is
Martin
Retta,
chair
of
the
Neighborhood
Association
for
the
Back
Bay.
Unfortunately,
at
this
point,
I
do
have
to
correct
a
grossly
distorted
version
of
NAB's
position
and
the
process
by
which
we
arrived
at
it
that
has
been
presented
by
Mike
Ross.
Unfortunately,
by
one
of
our
members,
the
licensing
and
building
use
committee
of
NAB
did
not
vote
to
approve
this
application.
He
voted
not
to
oppose
the
process
going
forward.
R
Had
we
not
done
so
at
that
time,
when
a
lot
of
information
that
we
are
since
been
able
to
get
access
to
was
available
to
us,
the
process
would
have
been
stopped
and
we
felt
that
was
unfair.
Subsequently,
the
Executive
Committee
of
nad-
and
this
has
been
explained
to
our
member-
voted
to
oppose
the
application
now.
Why?
R
Because,
in
fact
of
information
that
we
received
an
opinions
based
upon
the
regulations
that
govern
the
location
of
marijuana,
dispensaries
specifying
a
distance
requirement
or
buffer
zone
so
that
most
children
will
only
come
into
contact
with
or
notices
operation
rarely
and
fleetingly
in
passing
by
just
as
when
they
pass
by
a
liquor
store.
In
contrast,
given
this
location,
many
children
will
be
regularly
indeed
several
times
every
day
permanently,
inevitably
exposed
to
its
impact.
R
So
now,
given
the
basis
of
NAB's
reasons
for
our
position,
an
application
for
a
medical
marijuana
dispensary
at
a
more
suitable
location
in
a
commercial
area
not
directly
abutting
residences,
would
well
be
viewed
in
a
very
different
light.
Nevertheless,
the
neighbor
Association
of
the
Back
Bay
respectfully
urges
the
board
to
reject
this
application
for
the
reason
that
I
have
given-
and
that
has
been
voted
upon
by
now
after
receiving
a
lot
of
comments
from
residents
at
the
meetings
that.
A
AD
Susan
Baker
and
I
live
at
four
five:
seven
Beacon
Street
near
Hereford
I'm,
a
member
of
NAB's
executive
committee
and
I
I'm
involved
in
planning
and
organizing
events
for
children
in
the
neighborhood.
My
son's
13.
He
walks
by
the
proposed
location
twice
a
day
to
get
to
the
MBTA
behind
stop
to
go
to
and
from
school.
Hundreds
of
other
kids
will
be
exposed
on
a
daily
basis.
AD
AD
We
just
don't
want
Newbury
Street,
because
it
directly
abuts
the
residential
neighborhood
to
be
a
destination
for
people
to
come,
and
procure
marijuana
and
I
urge
the
board
to
reject
this
proposal
and
ask
that
the
applicant
seeks
a
more
appropriate
location
in
a
commercial
area
that
doesn't
about
the
residential
one.
Thank
you.
Thanks.

My

we
have

young
children
who
go
to
school
within
about
a
thousand
feet
of
the
proposed
location.
I
just
would
reiterate
the
importance
of
considering
the
impact
on
children
and
also
the
impact
on
the
Committee
on
the
community
back
base
an
important
community.
It's
one.
We
want
to
foster

We
want
to
encourage
people
to
visit
the
city
and
I
think
this
proposed
location
is
exactly
adopted
in
every
regard,
so
we
respectfully
ask
for
your
consideration.
Thank
you.
AE
AF
My
name
is
Marvin
wall
I'm,
a
physician
who
lives
in
the
Back
Bay
and
I'd
like
to
remind
everybody
that
we're
talking
about
a
medical
marijuana
dispensary,
not
a
recreational
marijuana
dispensary.
One
of
the
key
arguments
that
the
applicant
has
made
is
that
he
will
not.
He
will
not
convert
the
medical
marijuana
dispensary
to
a
recreational
marijuana
store
in
testifying
in
support
of
an
opposition
and
I'm
an
opposition,
because
a
sixth
section
of
the
lease
which
he
has
son
and
I'll,
read
it.
It's
brief.
AF
If
at
any
time
during
the
term,
lessee
elects
to
discontinue
the
use
of
the
premises
for
an
RM
D
and
to
use
the
premises
solely
for
the
non-medical.
That's
recreational
use
of
marijuana,
the
base,
rent
etc,
and
the
applicant
has
continually
pledged
that
it
would
only
be
a
medical
marijuana
dispensary.
The
information
here
belies
that
pledge.
A
M
AG
Sam
Perry
owner
of
323
327
Newport
Street
I've,
been
a
resident
of
this
block
since
1946
you
have
my
letter,
which
has
gone
into
a
lot
of
the
information
here.
I
came
to
the
first
meeting,
sponsored
by
nab
and
then
later
the
city's
meeting
to
learn
I
do
not
propose
the
idea
of
a
dispensary
as
such
I
do
think.
There
are
real
problems
here
and
I.
Think
one
of
them
is
the
absence
of
regulation.
AG
I've
noticed
that
on
the
milk
Street
on
the
Patriot
Care
one
that
a
community
host
agreement
was
negotiated
to
try
to
protect
the
area,
I
think
absent.
That
and
the
fact
that
at
the
first
meeting
it
was
stated
by
councillor
Ross
that
the
American
a
dispensary
would
be
restricted
to
medical
only
and
at
the
second
meeting
it
was
stated.
No,
they
couldn't
accept
that
restriction,
I
I,
think
there
are
problems
here
and
there
should
be
protections
for
the
restaurants
and
I
should
also
point
out
that
this
is
a
residential
block.
AG
T
You
mr.
chair,
the
applicant
is
100%
in
favor
of
being
medical.
Only
he
if
it
pleases
the
board,
he's
happy
to
have
a
proviso.
To
that
extent
attached
to
the
license,
there
is
no
bait-and-switch
or
any
of
the
conspiracy
theories
that
he's
trying
to
do
something
else.
He
has
said
all
along
that
he
will
do
medical
only.
There
is
a
loading
parking
space
in
the
back
of
the
building,
it's
not
required
by
this
project,
but
we
are
using
it
for
loading
and
that's
available
off
the
alley.
T
No
one
will
be
loading
off
the
front
or
double
parking.
I
mentioned,
of
course,
the
parking
out
the
garage
that
will
be
validated
the
there's
a
debit
card
debit
cards
are
allowed
in
the
dispensary.
So
it's
not
a
cash-only
operation,
and
there
was
some
numerous
comments
about
this
being
a
nuisance
which
does
go
to
the
zoning
standard
about
crime
and
those
issues
and
I
would
just
ask
that
performers
pretend
Jay
linskey
just
give
a
quick
30
seconds
on
that.
P
P
There's
no
signage
that
goes
on
it
and
in
fact,
two
police
departments
have
taken
police
details
that
they're
initially
put
one
for
fear
of
challenges
that
they
would
take
what
they
will
work
extensively
with
my
team
to
not
just
secure
the
facility,
but
we
have
a
process
in
appropriate
place
to
do
enforcement
with
Boston
Police
in
and
around
the
area,
any
patient
who
violates
that
uses
that
product
anywhere
but
their
home.
Oh
no,
one
of
our
facility.
T
As
a
matter
fact
in
your
packet
there's
a
letter
written
by
Sam
Olinsky,
where
we
just
for
the
protection
of
the
individual,
we
did
the
lack
out
the
name,
but
we
stand
by
that
commitment.
It
was
an
offer
to
provide,
and
that
would
be
under
tab.
Ten,
that
was
in
the
original
pact
and
I,
said
yeah.
The
thicker
one
I
see
that
a
few
of
you
do
have
it's
a
letter
from
crawl,
and
it
puts
that
into
writing
that
we
will
do
police
patrols
as
well
as
other
items.
It's
as
several
page
codes.
AI
I
could
add
one
other
piece
over
the
last
20
years,
T
News
has
been
declining
steadily
Colorado's
planning
even
faster
lately,
so
as
more
states
come
in
bring
medical
marijuana
or
even
a
recreational
marijuana
miraculously
T
News
is
not
going
up.
It's
going
the
opposite
direction,
just
a
fact.
The
conversation
I.
B
P
Going
to
have
the
police
detail
that
works
with
us
I
want
to
check
the
community
to
see
when
the
best
times
are
when
the
most
impact
David
is.
We
understand
this
already
some
concerns
with
use
of
marijuana
and
other
items
on
the
common
law.
We
hire
details
that
we
would
pay
for
weed
off
the
tires
on
over
time.
It
would
allow
it
to
make
assignment
that
they
were
always
built,
but
that
depends
on
their
staffing
level.
Live
staff.
Will
work
with
VPP
to
go
out
and
patrol
the
neighborhoods
levy
would
take
enforcement
action.
P
T
I
may
take
that
this
is
a
common
concern.
That's
been
lobbed
at
pretty
virtually
every
dispensary
the
location
he's
questioning.
We
are
well
familiar
with
I
think
in
his
own
comments.
He
may
have
inadvertently
discredited
this
issue
by
by
describing
it
as
private
lessons
those
private
lessons
take
it
out
of
the
realm
of
a
place
where
children
commonly
gather
in
a
consistent
and
regular
manner.
The
there
is.
A
T
In
the
when
you
deep
dive
into
the
regulations,
it
will
say
talk
about
how
how
ice
cream
places
and
things
like
that,
just
even
though
they
gather
for
birthdays
and
things
like
that,
don't
constitute
a
place
where
children
come
and
gather
we're
talking
about
nursery
schools,
we're
talking
about
schools,
those
types
of
things,
the
new
regulations,
even
back
off
about
from
that
they
only
go
to
schools,
they've
gotten
rid
of
this
kind
of
messy
area.
And
finally,
there
is
another
agency
that
looks
at
that:
it's
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission.
T
AJ
T
300
350
visitors
per
day,
oh
it's
based
out
over
the
times
of
10
a.m.
to
8
p.m.
is
substantially
less
than
virtually
anything
on
that
street.
You
know
it
Starbucks
or
a
clothing
store
are
into
the
thousands.
The
the
average
time
per
patient
is
on
their
first
visit,
probably
about
15
minutes,
maybe
20
at
the
absolute
most
on
their
all
subsequent
visits
and
many
a
repeat
or
more
like
is
more
like
10
minutes,
and
so
over
the
the
through
point
of
the
day.
It
will
appear
not
busy
and
it
will.
T
As
we
also
mentioned,
we're
going
to
have
parking
available,
our
customers
will
be
repeat,
customers.
They
will
know
they
can
park
around
the
private.
So
as
much
as
it's
required,
we
have
an
agreement
with
in
Somerset
garage
which
is
in
the
same
block
or
within
a
block
away,
and
patients
will
know
they
can
park
there
for
free,
come
in,
buy
their
product
and
then
leave
in
that
same
parking.

us.
First

it
is

We
have

at

obviously
aren't
going

contract
with
them
until
we're
approved

I'm,
not

what
level
of
interaction
the

gets
from
these
types
of
queries.

100%
committed

AX
Good
morning,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
James
Rudd,
sir.
My
office
is
at
546
East
Broadway
in
South,
Boston
sitting
to
my
right
is
Robert
Jake
Federico's
trustee
the
36
Cushing
Ave
Realty
Trust
to
trust
that
was
originally
created
by
his
grandfather,
we're
seeking
the
requested
variances
in
order
to
essentially
legalize
a
use
that
has
been
on
this
property
since
1936.
AX
Mr.
Federico's
grandfather
bought
the
property
in
1953,
at
which
time
it
was
a
four
family
home.
There
are
records
at
ISD
that
show
that
back
in
1936
it
was
converted
from
a
private
hospital
to
a
four
family
home
at
some
point
in
the
90s.
Mr.
Feder
Rico's
grandfather
stopped
using
the
property
for
any
use
and
therefore
that
non-conforming
uses
of
four
family
was
considered
abandoned.
The
boys
have.
This
is
a
house
that
their
father
was
brought
up
in.
AX
They
intend
they've
already
done
the
renovation
of
the
existing
three
units
and
they
intend
to
live
there
and
reside
in
the
community
if
you've
had
a
chance
to
present
the
plans
to
the
Jones,
Hill,
Neighborhood,
Association
and
one
of
their
meetings,
and
we
received
the
unanimous
support
of
the
Association
who
were
particularly
enthusiastic
about
the
the
quality
of
work
that
they
undertook
and
the
fact
that
they
intend
to
reside
there.
Are
there
any
questions
from
the
board.
J
AY
My
name
is
nadine
fallon
and
until
recently
in
september
I
was
a
director
butter
on
mount
for
mountain
Cushing.
Terrace
I
recently
moved
there,
but
I'm
now
at
26,
pebble,
Street,
also
on
Jones
Hill,
and
they
do
beautiful
work.
It's
a
beautiful
property
and
I
think
that
this
will
be
in
addition
to
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
A
AZ
It's
Kelly
Thomas
at
10,
Mount,
Cushing
Terrace,
and
while
we
admire
the
work
clearly
there's
a
high
quality
of
work,
that's
being
done
there.
We
oppose
the
use
of
the
basement
for
an
apartment
because,
as
the
zoning
code
states,
that
the
purpose
of
the
residential
sub
districts
is
to
maintain,
enhance
and
promote
the
character
of
residential
neighborhoods
in
terms
of
density,
housing,
type
and
design
to
provide
for
low
and
medium
density,
housing
appropriate
to
the
existing
built
environment.
So
the
existing
built
environment
is
primarily
two
in
three
family
units.
AZ
All
of
the
houses
have
basements,
and
so
what
my
concern
is
and
my
husband's
concerned
and
may
neighbors
at
8
mount
Cushing
terrorists
and
equally
at
11,
Mount
Cushing
terrorists
were
concerned
about
increased
density
in
the
neighborhood.
We
believe
that
the
zoning
codes
were
established
for
a
logical
reason.
AZ
Also
I'd
like
to
say
that
we're
very
concerned
about
parking
in
the
neighborhood
recently
another
a
butter
at
fifteen
of
a
map
submitted
a
petition
to
obtain
residential
parking
stickers.
Because
in
the
past
few
years
the
amount
of
vehicles
in
the
neighborhood
has
increased
substantially.
And
so
the
residents
are
having
trouble
parking.
So
we're
concerned
that
more
people.
AX
If
I
make
it
always
was
a
four
unit
building
the
only
thing
that
we've
done
is
change
the
configurations
of
the
unit,
so
that
the
fourth
unit,
instead
of
being
a
very
very
small
attic
unit,
is
more
of
an
appropriately
sized
garden
level
unit
and
we've
accomplished
that
by
doing
excavation
that
creates
parking
spaces
that
never
existed
on
the
property.
So
it's
not
a
true
basement.
It's
a
walkout,
because
we've
created
we've
reconfigured
that
the
existing
unit
and
then
also
in
the
process
created
parking
for
the
neighborhood.
A
A
BA
A
BB
BA
I
am
I
am
also
speaking
about
the
parking,
because,
when
I
first
moved
to
the
neighborhood,
it
was
much
less
dense.
There
were
probably
maybe
one
or
two
cars
per
building
and
we're
talking
mostly
three
Decker's
family
occupied
with
extended
families.
Now,
30
years
later,
it's
all
condominiums,
every
multi-family
house,
as
it
becomes
available,
is
turned
into
more
condominiums
and
no
parking
provision
is
made.
They
obviously
have
been
obtaining
variances
of
their
own,
which
allow
them
to
build.
BA
For
instance,
number
forty
Cushing
Avenue,
the
mansions
six
units
no
parking,
plus
they
turn
their
side
yard
into
two
units
with
only
one
car
per
unit.
Although
most
of
these
condominiums
have
two
people
in
each
one
of
them,
and
each
one
of
those
people
has
a
car
parking
is
now
a
nightmare.
In
the
neighborhood,
the
number
7
up
am
Avenue,
a
two
family
house
converted
to
three
condominiums
six
people.
Six
cards
no
place
to
put
them
the
Strand
when
it's
in
operation
and
of
course
we
love
the
Strand,
it's
beautiful.
BA
Every
neighborhood
used
to
have
one.
We
still
have
ours,
but
there's
no
place
for
these
people
to
park.
They
take
our
parking
places
because
there's
nowhere
else
for
them
to
park.
So
when
we
come
home,
there's
no
place
for
us
to
part,
and
now
this
gentleman
these
these
people
want
to
they're
already
have
three
units
in
a
house
where
one
guy
uses
live
forever.
That
means
there
will
be
six
people
and
there
will
probably
be
six
more
cars
now.
BA
They
want
to
add
another
unit
to
more
people
to
more
cars,
and
they
are
only
putting
two
parking
places.
There
is
no
parking
to
be
had,
and
you
can't
just
say
well.
The
plan
is
to
make
this
a
walkable
agreeable
neighborhood,
where
people
will
just
wander
about,
but
the
truth
is
that
if
we
don't
use
the
commuter
rail
that
they're
talking
about
about
fixing
up,
we
don't
go
over
there.
BA
Everyone
I
know
and
I
use
the
redline
to
get
about,
and
the
only
way
to
get
to
the
redline
is
to
either
have
someone
drop
you
off
or
take
a
bus
and
then
a
train
when
the
train
and
the
bus
schedule
becomes
so
onerous
that
it's
it
takes
an
hour
to
an
hour
and
a
half
just
to
get
to
and
from
work.
People
are
going
to
drive
and
you're,
not
going
you're
not
going
to
disabuse
them
of
the
notion
of
having
a
car.
BA
But
when
you
continually
set
aside
what
I
had
understood
to
be
a
1
point,
5
to
1
ratio
of
parking
spaces
that
are
supposed
to
be
allowed
per
unit,
and-
and
this
is
continually
set
aside,
so
that
the
most
three
recent
developments
in
our
neighborhood
six
units
two
units
three
units,
a
total
of
two
parking
places
for
all
of
those
units.
Everyone
else
is
on
the
street.
I
can't
even
begin
to
tell
you
about
street
cleaning.

We
went
through
a
very
lengthy
community

actually
just
coming
up
on
a

as
mr.

had
stated.
This

was
approved

board
back

to

project
and
I'd
like
to
state.
My
support
for
the
project
Joey's
been
very
helpful
in
changing
the
design
in
order
to
give
us
more
setback
from
our
building.
He's
been
really
helpful

considerate
and
made
two
adjustments,
which
was
really
excellent

I.
Think
the
project
is
a
mutual
development.
I

it

AH
Crew
chefs
well
26
Grant,
Street
Dorchester,
we
just
saw
number
of
people
speak
in
support,
which
clearly
demonstrated
the
steamrolling
tactic
that
was
used
by
this
developer,
impacting
meetings
and
other
things.
My
issue,
however,
I,
posed
this
project
strongly
on
the
basis
of
density
started
as
21
units
went
to
17.
The
comparison
cheese
for
density
are
questionable.
The
only
one
mentioned
in
public
meeting
was
an
Ashmont
which
is
a
mile
and
a
half
away.
This
is
a
family
neighborhood
with
large
slots
and
two
and
three
family
homes.
AH
This
board
approved
as
three
Decker
across
the
street,
with
strong
support
from
the
neighborhood
of
in
the
last
year
it
fit
in
at
125
Stoughton
Street,
which
is
of
invisible
sight
at
this
building,
which
was
not
considered
in
comparisons.
This
board
turned
down
a
proposal
by
David
George
developed
12
units
in
2010
on
its
9,000
lot.
AH
It
approved
two
years
ago
building
six
units
on
that
lot,
which
have
been
built
and
which,
in
fold,
closure,
I
hope
with
historical
part,
because
it
was
the
colonial
college
on
the
property
that
building
is
very
site
of
this
location.
The
neighbors
supported
it.
It
met
all
the
requirements
that
were
required
in
this
board
to
support
it.
I
cannot
in
good
conscience,
see
how
our
city
solicitor,
our
city's,
counselors
and
other
people
can,
you
know,
support
a
density.
Busing
project
like
this
will
applaud
process
on
this
board.
AH

I'm,
a

butter
to
the
property
I,
also
oppose
this.
In
regards
to
the
density,
the
lot
is
owned
for
six
units
all
together
to
my
understanding
and
seventeen
is
far
too
many.
We're
worried
about
cramming
more
people
into
the
neighborhood
we're
worried
about
becoming
South
Boston,
there's
a
reason
I
bought
in
salmon
hill
and
they're
trying
to
change
the
nature
in
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you,
hi.
BI
There
are
over
25
official
comments
that
I
was
copied
on
multiple
other
mail
emails
and
mailed
letters
that
I
do
not
have
copies
of
and
I
also
shared
a
petition
with
126
people
who
signed
opposing
this
project,
mentioning
that
they
are
not
comfortable
with
the
size
and
scale
of
17
condo
units.
As
a
group,
we
have
come
together
multiple
times
as
a
butter's.
BI
We
had
councillor
Frank
Baker
joining
us
at
the
church,
that's
directly
across
the
street,
from
this
development,
and
we
have
been
told
time
and
time
again
that
the
concerns
and
the
opinions
of
the
neighbors
does
matter.
But,
however,
at
the
BPD
a
they
threw
away
our
petition
with
that
had
a
hundred
signatures
at
that
point.
At
this
point
it
has
126
and
continuously
growing.
We've
been
going
door-to-door
with
flyers
and
every
time
we
go
one
street
further
from
the
project.
BI
There
are
at
least
five
to
ten
neighbors
who
were
completely
unaware
of
the
project
and
shocked
by
the
size
and
scale
of
it.
So
I
want
to
go
on
the
record
that
be
petition,
even
though
the
location
somehow
from
change.org,
which
is
the
website
I
used
to
create
the
petition
lists
locations
other
than
Dorchester
they're,
not
accurate,
I
have
a
printed
copy
here.
I'll
provide
you
and
I've
made
some
notes.
Thank
you.
BI
I've
made
some
notes
on
people
that
I
know
live
directly
across
the
street
around
the
corner
and
on
Pleasant
Street,
so
I'm
not
sure
how
the
website
pulls
it,
but
I
urge
you
to
not
dismiss
the
results
of
the
petition,
because
the
hundred
twenty
six
neighbors
are
from
door-to-door
efforts
and
people
that
were
walking
their
dogs
and
we're
unaware
of
the
project
until
we've.
Let
them
know.
A
A
BJ
Morning
my
name
is
Anna:
Cardona
I
live
in
43,
Pearl
Street,
you
know,
I
am
NOT,
as
polish
as
I
should
be
to
approach
you,
but
I
just
wanted
to
present
to
you
a
vision
of
what
goes
on
in
my
street
during
the
winter
time.
We
lose
a
lot
of
space
to
the
snow
because
there
is
nowhere
to
put
the
snow.
There
are
invites
viewing
neighbors
because
of
parking
spots.
BJ
It's
already
very
crowded,
it's
already
very
night,
married
to
be
there
in
the
middle
of
the
winter,
and
with
this
huge
project,
which
is
a
beautiful
project,
I
love,
the
building
I
would
love
to
see
a
building
like
that,
instead
of
a
funeral
home,
but
all
of
these
people
are
going
to
have
gas
20
parking
spot.
One
in
front
of
the
other
are
not
going
to
alleviate
the
parking
needs
of
these
neighbors
I
love
people
like
no
diversity,
but
we
are
already
crowded.
I,
went
to
see
a
house
for
sale.
BJ
Mi
accidentally
happened
how's
next
to
where
the
mayor,
Marty,
Walsh
lives
and
I
close
my
eyes
and
I
say
why
can't
my
Street
look
like
that
instead
too
much
to
ask
to
have
my
Street
looking
the
way
to
Street
where
the
mayor
lives,
it's
a
beautiful
Street.
That
is
plenty
of
parking.
It's
a
dream.
It's
a
dream
that
I
can
not
afford
and
I
will
I
will
want
to
stay
where
I'm
at
I
don't
want
to
be
pushed
out
of
my
neighborhood.
BJ
BI
So
I
just
was
gonna
finish
my
comment,
so
I
gave
the
copy
of
the
petition
results
and
some
of
the
emails
and
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
the
underground
parking
is
a
tandem
spots
which
I
think
is
a
little
misleading
because
the
tandem
spots,
one
or
the
other.
Anyone
who
knows
that
knows
that
the
first
person
and
you
know
they're,
not
gonna,
get
locked
in
and
they'd
rather
take
a
street
spot.
BI
So
you
know
I
think
the
concerns
about
density
overcrowding,
cramming
too
many
people
and
then
cars,
where
are
if
every
unit
has
one
to
two
cars.
You
know
this
ain't.
If
there's
18
spots,
we
might
have
34
cars
added
to
this
area.
So
just
to
kind
of
leave
you
guys
with
a
few
thoughts,
we
did
win
the
vote
opposing
at
the
Columbia
seven
Hill
Civic
Association
meeting
where
the
opposition
we
were
majority
against
this
and,
as
I
mentioned
the
BPD
a
threw
away.
BI
The
petition
results,
but
that's
not
accurate,
and
you
know,
as
stated
on
the
Zoning
Board
website
codes,
keep
developers
from
creating
buildings
that
don't
fit
a
neighborhood
or
what
caused
disruptions.
For
example,
zoning
code
allows
a
homeowner
to
build
an
addition,
but
doesn't
allow
an
auto
body
shop
to
open
in
a
residential
area.
So
I
ask
that
you
please
kindly
review
all
of
our
comments
and
please
take
into
strong
consideration
before
perusing
this
project.
Thank
you.
BK
Hello,
my
name
is
Eileen
Boyle
and
during
the
start
of
this
process,
I
was
president
of
Columbia
7l,
Civic
Association,
so
I
met
with
all
of
the
abutters
and
the
developers
during
this
process.
One
of
the
things
that
pointing
is
that,
from
the
very
beginning,
council,
Baker
and
BPD
a
repeatedly
told
the
voters
that
this
slot
was
only
zoned
for
six
units.
BK
With
that
belief,
they
were
willing
to
go
to
nine,
possibly
twelve
units
during
the
conversations
with
the
abutters,
but
for
whatever
reason
you
know
they
have
stuck
with
the
17
units.
This
law
here
also
at
one
of
the
meetings
where
the
BPD
a
had
attended
I
specifically
asked
mr.
Campbell
about
article
80
in
what
that
meant,
because
one
of
the
civic
associations
concerns
is
that
directly
beside
this
lot
is
another
lot,
so
mr.
Ikari
brought
his
law
for
1.6
million
dollars
directly
beside
that
at
the
corner
of
only
Street
and
Pleasant.
BK
Street
is
a
lot
that
we
believe
is
gonna,
be
sold
for
3
million
dollars.
So
does
that
mean
that
that
person
gets?
You
know,
30
units?
You
know
so
and
I
asked
mr.
Campbell
I
said
you
know
under
Article
80.
What
does
the
BPD
a
do?
What
does
that
mean?
Does
that
do
they
look
at
the
surrounding
lot?
So
they
look
at
the
area.
BK
Do
they
understand
and
they
said
they
do
not,
which
I
don't
understand
that
there's
like
one
of
the
Philistines
with
the
Civic
Association,
is
that
there's
no
urban
planning
being
done
that
these
buildings
are
being
erected
lot
by
lot
and
this
law
is
in
a
thickly
settled
family-orientated
neighborhood.
We
don't
have
a
problem.
You
know
along
Dorchester
Ave
at
the
corner
of
Freeport
and
Hancock
Street,
the
dog
block.
We
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
A
BK
Got
it
okay,
but
but
also
I.
Unfortunately,
during
this
process,
the
abutters
were
also
to--and,
the
BPD
a
had
their
hearing
about
this
project.
Someone
from
the
BPD
a
office
I
will
not
name
that
person.
I
will
tell
you,
you
know
the
told
the
abundance
that
they
should
not
attend
the
hearing,
because
it
was
just
for
the
developer
and
we
know
that's
not
true.

A
BM
Chairman
members
of
the
board,
Bob
D'amico,
PTD,
I
reviewed
this,
and
we
came
on
as
an
urban
policy
approve
a
curb
cut,
taking
away
parking
because
there
is
a
parking
on
this
side
of
the
street.
There
is
in
front
of
this
house,
though
they're
sort
of
odd
is
when
I
went
on.
The
computer
I
noticed
that
there
was
an
HB,
partly
spaced
in
front
of
this
very
house,
and
if
it's
gone
for
was
for
some
ever
whatever
reason,
they
can
always
reapply
and
get
HP

for
yeah.
F

BN
No
she's
she's
not

applied
for
it
and
she
didn't
qualify.
First
she's,

she's.

I'm
watching

go,
grocery
shopping
can
be
no
park
in
the
street.
We
got
part
far
away
and
the
wintertime
yeah.
BL
Mr.
Pazhani,
my
point
of
view
are,
let's
say
on
this
matter,
is
that
they
invested
on
that
street,
buying
a
house
having
off
street
parking
or
somebody
else
parking.
There
are
visitors
and
stranger
and
the
owners
of
the
house
cannot
been
effect
and
off
street
and
people
neighbor.
All
let's
say
visitors
have
more
more
benefits
of
parking
than
they
do.
That's
that
I
don't
understand
for
me
why.
F
BM
B
B
But
the
rules
are
no
parking
in
that
front
yard.
What
we
see
here
is
somebody
parking
them.
You
then
come
to
us
and
you
ask
us
one
for
one
to
take
one
curb
cut
off
the
street,
so
we
can
park
one
car
in
there.
It's
just
not
we're
not
gonna
take.
We
can't
take
one
spot
off
the
street
so
that
you
can
have
a
spot
in
the
driveway.
It's
just
not
the
way
it
works.
I
would
like
to
be
helpful
to
this
alternatives
that
you
can
do,
but.

I
have
well,
we
had
some
about
our
meetings
and
they
were
concerned
about
the
size
of
the
house,
so
we
reduced
the
height
and
there
also
the
length
of
the
house
with
but
large.
So
we
reduced
that
by
some
feet
and
we've
offered
to
change
the
design
of
the
home.
But
they
said
that
that
wasn't
an
issue.
A
CB

We
offered
to
take
away.
They
took
our
garage
to
reduce
the
size,
but
and
they
really
want
to
the
two-car
garage
to
allow
parking
in
the
garage,
and
then
we
also
would
have
parking
outside
the
garage
for
guests.
So
there
wouldn't
be
an
issue
with
on
street
parking
at
all,
and
you
know:
we've
looked
at
all
the
houses
in
the
neighborhood

most

I,
believe
this
project
has
come
up
in
the
past
in
front
of
the
West
Roxbury
Zoning
Board,
and
it
declined
due
to
the
insufficient
square
footage
and
that
hasn't
changed.
So
my
opinion
lays
with
that.
I
also
think
the
last
time
it
came
in
front
of
the
neighborhood
board.
It
was
voted
on
by
five
members
and
due
to
the
primary
elections,
it
was
not
voted
on
that
full
board.

A
Q
Melissa
lives
in
an
existing
1230
square
foot
single-family.
It
was
part
of
a
six
unit
development
that
they
did
in
the
mid
2000s
he
moved
in
in
2006
and
when
Melissa
did
the
product,
she
basically
spearheaded
the
thing,
the
project
with
Jack
French,
and
he
was
single
and
12
years.
12
years
later,
she
has
three
kids
and
a
husband,
so
she
wants
to
make
it
400
90s
we
look.
Bigger.
We've
had
two
neighborhood
meetings
like
a
mister.
Beside
the
first
set
of
drawings,
we
were
asking
for
600
square
feet,
mansard
roof
kind
of
like.
Q
What's
there,
people
didn't
like
the
third
floor,
didn't
want
to
lose
their
views,
so
so
the
best
we
could
do
was
steep
in
the
angle
of
the
man
side
to
break
the
mass
of
the
building
down
a
bit
and
because
of
that,
it's
a
bit
smaller.
It's
like
490
square
feet
as
opposed
to
600,
and
essentially
what
we're
asking
for
is
a
master
bedroom
for
them.
A
master
bath,
a
walk-in
closet
in
a
small
office
and
for
I,
don't
know
almost
500
square
feet.
CG
Can
I
just
make
a
comment
about
the
fer
I
spoke
to
mr.
Santana,
the
plants
examiner,
and
he
said
that
upon
further
review
we
actually
didn't
need
that
variance,
because
the
lot
is
11,000
square
feet
and
the
six
houses
only
amount
to
about
8,500.
Even
with
my
addition.
We're
well
below
22,000
square
feet
and
he
did
agree
with
me,
but
he
said
that,
because
I
had
already
appealed,
he
couldn't
kind
of
fix
that
and
that
it
should
be
noted
here
at
the
board
that
we
actually
did
not
need
that
variance.
A
A
CG
A
CH
Afternoon,
members
of
the
board
Christopher
Breen
for
the
mayor's
office,
the
neighborhood
service,
who
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
As
stated,
we
hosted
two
community
meetings
and
received
a
number
of
letters
indicating
support
for
the
variances
to
allow
the
applicants
family
to
continue
to
grow
in
the
neighborhood.
The
applicant
also
had
a
second
mean
to
show
shadow
and
view
studies.
Thank
you
very
much.
F
H

CI
CI
Or
lay
district,
this
is
their
appeal
of
a
building
permit
that
was
issued
to
do
work
at
fifty-five,
Hall
Street,
which
is
in
a
budding
parcel.
The
the
permit
was
issued
to
do
certain
work
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
in
the
Freedom
Trail
neighborhood
Design
District,
and
is
being
used
for
a
different
purpose.
It's
being
used
to
dig
out
a
dirt
floor,
basement
of
an
existing
structure
to
put
in
a
basement
dwelling
unit
in
that
location,
which
is
prohibited
under
existing
zoning.
CI
The
under
Section
7
of
the
enabling
act,
a
states
that
the
building
permit
for
such
a
purpose.
They
need
to
get
the
zoning
relief
in
order
to
first
to
have
a
basement
unit
before
they
can
start
the
work
to
build
the
basement
unit.
So
there's
a
bit
of
a
putting
a
cart
before
the
horse.
Here,
that's
important
because
during
that
permitting
process,
some
information
would
get
flushed
out,
particularly
with
regards
to
what
would
the
impact
of
the
building
that
basement
unit
have
on
a
butters,
such
as
my
client.
CI
That
information
was
not
provided
to
the
building
to
the
ISD.
As
a
result,
my
client
has
began
experiencing
where
it's
never
experienced
before
water
and
filtration
at
59,
Hall
Street,
which
is
a
property
that
he
did
a
full
gut
rehab
back
in
2007.
So
there
was
no
water
before
there
is
this.
These
construction
activities
that
are
happening
to
build
out
and
dig
out
a
dirt
floor
at
55,
Hall
Street,
and
now
there
is
water.
CI
Geotechnical
engineer
to
assess
the
the
flow
of
water
he's
indicated
that
that
information
would
be
provided
in
a
plan
from
the
Boston
and
sewer
department,
which
was
was
never
provided
to
to
ISD.
So
with
respect
to
to
that
and
I
there's
got
to
be
some
other
abutters
that
are
going
to
speak
about
the
the
harms
that
are
flowing
from
the
from
the
from
the
dig
out
of
this
of
this
basement
space.
A
A
CI
There's
all
this,
if
I
could
just
add,
there's
two
points.
One
is
with
regards
I,
guess
the
the
grounds
are
it
should
not
have
issued,
because
there
isn't
the
zoning
relief
that
is
needed
with
regards
to
a
variance
for
a
basement
unit
in
the
in
the
particular
zoning
district,
where
this
was
located.
There's
also
changes
to
the
to
the
massing
of
the
building.
There
wasn't
any
small
project
review
by
the
PRA,
that's
required
under
Section
54
17
1c
for
doing
that
type
of
stuff.
So
there
are
those
are
really
the
grounds.

so
it's

Good
morning
my
name
is
Mike

Boston
ist
I
am
not
the
planes
examiner
for
this
project.
The
plane
examiner
is
not
here
today,
so
I
was
asked
to
come
here.
Did
some
research
on
this
and
come
to
give
some
clarity
on
this
and
what
I
was
able
to
see
that
this
is
an
existing
two
family,
but
there
is
no
dwelling
unit
per
se.
It's
just
an
extension
of
the
first
floor
to
the
basement,
which
is
the
unit.
CJ
F
CJ
F
AL
It
did
and
further
it
was
a
semi
decorative
stair,
the
stairs
that
if
we
we
got
the
building
that
got
in
a
gutted
format,
but
the
stairs
existed
and
the
railings
did
as
well.
Those
those
have
been
left
through
previous
demo
exercises.
The
stairs
were
of
the
same
quality
and
type
throughout
the
building
of
all
levels,
inclusive
to
the
basement
basement,
which
we
call
the
garden
level,
because
Hall
Street
does
is
steep
windows.
F
AL
Did
not
everything
was
an
existing
in
existing
condition.
We
were
able
to
work
with
existing
masonry
openings
on
the
front
of
Hall
Street
as
well
in
the
rear.
There
was
plenty
of
area
for
windows,
so
we
were
able
to
have
code
required
bedrooms,
windows
providing
light
invent
to
those
bedrooms.
It
was
all
it
was
all
by
right
and
additionally,
the
ceiling
height
that
we
discovered
was
around
seven
six
when
we
got
the
property
so
and.
CJ

Am
seeking
the
interpretation
of
the
process?
There
was
no
I
looked
at
the
materials
that
were
submitted
to
the
spectrum
of
services,
who
is
actually
no
survey
which
would
indicate
the
footprint
of
the
building
so
and
then,
at
the
time,
I
had
some
concerns,
representing
both
myself
and
my
neighbors
three
months
of
since
I
submitted
for
this
appeal.
So
a
lot
has
happened
between
down.
A
CE
CJ
There
was
a
survey
from
a
land
surveyor
for
this,
the
land
size,
the
weight
of
it
is
27
feet
and
the
building
the
footprint
of
the
building
on
that
lot
is
21
feet.
The
code
requires
to
be
food
yard
setbacks
which
left
us
6
feet
to
be
on
his
side
and
then
the
lot
also
is
a
shallow
lot,
which
is
40
feet
based
on
article
68.
If
you
are
at
the
length
of
the
lot,
is
not
100
feet,
you
have
some
exemption.
CJ
CE
That
time
was
just
like
engineer,
survey
that
the
developer
had
done.
Just
you
know:
27
foot
block
where
that
starts
and
eggs
just
confirmations,
I'm
looking
at
the
building
now,
and
it
looks
pretty
close
to
where
it
should
be,
but
at
the
time
of
submission
that
it
was
just
a
lot
of
things.
So
that's.
A
AW
A
F
B
A
CK
A
CK
Right,
well,
we
appreciate
being
heard.
We
have
tried
in
the
past
to
come
here
and
one
of
our
first
issues
that
we
had
was
when
this
this
case
came
to
the
G
Cod
and
got
G
Cod
approval.
And
if
you
look
at
the
board
of
appeal
terms,
it
says:
excavate,
rear
patio,
install
new
drainage,
retaining
walls
paving
exterior
egress,
stairs
exterior
HVAC
units.
That
is
the
first
mention
of
exterior
HVAC
units
anywhere
in
any
of
the
plans
that
you
have.
CK
So
we
are
definitely
refuting
those
and
so
basically,
under
that
G
Cod,
application
and
I
did
ask
the
clerk
at
the
time,
since
we
were
told
we
couldn't
speak.
I
said
well,
they've,
never
ever
SPECT
out
those
they're
giant
HVAC
units.
So
we
have
a
problem
with
that
and
we
have
a
problem
with
the
new
design
that
they
are
proposing
in
order
to
try
to
prevent
too
much
noise
in
the
back
with
these
giant
compressors
out
there
for
heating
and
cooling.
CK
So
the
basically,
if
we
go
through
each
of
our
appeal
lines
and
I
will
give
you
the
pictures
we
have
responded
and
the
responses
are
in
red
and
I've.
Given
one
copy
to
Craig
Galvin,
but
if
anyone
else
was
like
a
copy,
this
is
our
response
to
the
attorneys
what
he
wrote
last
night
that
we
got
at
six
o'clock
last
night.
Thank
you.
CK
So
our
first,
our
first
problem
is
that
the
sewage
line
was
cut
and
when
they
excavated
without
a
permit,
when
they
first
started
this
project
of
461,
they
excavated
with
no
permit,
and
the
permit
was
just
to
you
know,
take
out
some
dirt,
but
when
they
hit
the
sewage
line,
they
said,
oh
because
it
was
crossing
right
across
the
and
you
can.
This
is
pictures
crossing
right
across
where
they
wanted
to
put
a
patio.
So,
instead
of
calling
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer
at
that
point,
they
cut
that
line.
CK
They
put
bends
in
it
and
they
ran
it
out,
so
they
cut
it
at
the
Stewart.
Now
they
never
inspected
the
sewer
line,
all
the
way
to
the
actual
large
sewer
line
in
our
alley.
So
we
have
had
several
people
in
our
alley
have
had
to
redo
their
sewer
lines.
This
one
was
literally
cut
bent
and
it's.
We
don't
believe
that
it
was
installed
properly.
CK
It
was
never
inspected
by
the
law
from
water
and
sewer,
so
we
first
think
if
you
have
a
17
unit,
brownstone
with
17
bathrooms
and
showers,
and
that's
gonna,
go
through
that
sewer
line
a
that
sewer
line
was
rerouted
closer
to
my
property
at
459,
mass
M
and
B.
We
are
very
worried
that
the
way
that
they
did,
that
is
it
and
is
not
going
to
stand
up.
So
we
certainly
know
my
problems.
CK
Okay,
so
that's
number
one
number
two,
the
they,
since
they
had
done
this
work
without
ever
surveying
they
built
over
that
sewer
line.
What
I'm
calling
a
brick
shelf
and
in
order
it
hides
the
sewer
line,
but
it
also
is
over
my
property
line,
so
they
have
actually
built
a
structure
that
is
over
my
property
line.
When
they
did
do
the
survey
when
they
did
do
the
survey
they
you
can
see
that
it
they've
built
over
my
property
line.
We
wanted
that
removed.
CK
They
claim
that
our
in
the
letter
from
attorney
Soros,
he
claimed
that
are
existing
retaining
wall
was
problematic.
It
is
not
I've
also
included
pictures
of
our
retaining
wall,
which
is
in
perfect
shape.
So
they
did
this
to
hide
the
sewer
line
and
they're,
refuting
them
point
number
three:
improper,
rainwater
and
downspout.
They
never
actually
did
a
down
spouting
for
the
rainwater
the
rainwater
runoff
used
to
go
underneath
the
dirt,
so
they
they
cut
that
pipe
and
they
just
left
an
empty
rainwater
pipe
just
to
splash
the
water
down
onto
this
new
shelf.
CK
The
water
has
damaged
all
of
our
pointing
and
it
has
caused
great
crevices
in
in
the
brick.
This
has
never
been
repaired.
We
did
have
a
letter
from
John
Lydon
to
to
make
Achilleas,
go
and
fix
that
downspout,
so
that
the
water
would
not
ruin
the
Poynting,
but
the
damage
has
been
done
and
not
repaired.
CK
Section.
Four,
no,
no
repair
for
G
Cod
has
been
done
yet
and
again
we're
getting
into
a
rainy
season
and
winter.
Last
year
there
was
about
four
to
five
inches
of
standing
water
in
the
backyard
which
did
leak
into
four
sixty
three,
the
abutters
property,
and
that
was
because
that
they
have
never
because
they
dug
down
four
feet.
They
never
took
into
consideration
all
of
the
water
that
was
going
to
build
up
there.
CK
We
did
have
an
unusually
high
rain
level
for
the
spring
so
and
it
has
gone
down
in
the
summer,
but
we
anticipate
that
that's
going
to
come
back
up
and
start
to
damage
further
our
foundations
and,
lastly,
section
five.
The
oversized
HVAC
units
were
never
included
on
any
plans.
They
have
never
been
approved
by
the
Department
of
Environmental
Protection.
Their
specifications
for
noise
are
out
of
spec
for
the
South
End
neighborhood.
They
are
63
62
to
63,
DB
and
they're,
claiming
wrongly
so
that
they
can
flip
a
magic
switch
and
make
it
quieter.
CK
So
they
they
basically
dug
it
out.
They
haven't
fixed
the
the
pumping
they
haven't
done,
the
jihad.
They
have
that
illegal
shelf
fill
Tovar
the
sewage
line
right
now,
which
I'm
asking
to
be
removed
and
then
and
they've
put
up
retaining
walls,
but
I,
don't
know
if
the
retaining
walls
are
to
spec.
They
certainly
look
different
from
the
plans.
A
T
CL
CK
CK
A
CK
One
more
thing
just
want
one
more
so
in
the
approved
plans
that
ISD
gave
okay
you'll
notice
that
the
past
plans
do
not
include
kitchens
and
cooktops
the
approved
new
plan
Doug.
Now,
if
this,
in
fact,
is
a
launching
house,
seventeen
unit
launching
house,
they
are
not
supposed
to
be
installing
kitchen
and
cook
tuck
John
Lydon
actually
told
us
that
you
know
in
emails
that
the
cook
tops
and
kitchens
have
been
removed
due
to
the
fact
that
they
want
to
keep
this
as
a
lodging
house.
Oh
okay,.
A
CM
Christenson
Minelli,
boss
and
growling
a
trust,
so
this
case
was
before
the
board
on
April
11th,
and
at
that
time
the
only
article
of
violation
was
article
32.
We
did
have
the
approval
letter
from
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer,
stating
that
the
applicant
didn't
meet
the
requirement
for
the
installation
of
a
recharge
system
and
according
to
the
plans
that
were
submitted
with
that
letter,
it
appears
that
the
downspout
at
the
rear
of
the
building
is
supposed
to
be
connected
to
that
recharge
system.
CM
CM
CK
A
private
alley,
Boston
water
and
sewers
in
charge
of
the
main
sewer
line
we
are
individually,
our
our
buildings
are
all
responsible
for
that
sewer
line.
That
goes
from
the
building
out
to
that
line
and,
as
we've
said,
these
are
very
old
lines
and
many
of
them
have
had
to
been
replaced.
Recently,
this
one
was
cut
and
had
it
wasn't
looked
at
all
the
way.
A
CL
CM
Yeah
I
mean
the
system
is
she's,
basically
describing
the
hole
in
the
ground
is
what
it
is
now,
if
no
with
no
resources
to
me.
I
also
had
correspondence
with
the
engineer
for
this
project
prior
to
the
hearing,
just
to
confirm
that
any
occupiable
space
was
understanding
below
elevation,
seven
Boston
city
base,
which
would
have
kicked
on
the
no
harm
component
of
this.
He
stated
to
me
that
they
were
going
to
install
pervious
pavers
and
that
the
work
was
going
to
be.
The
work
was
going
to
be
all
above
elevation.
Seven
Boston
City
base.
CJ
To
speak
on
this
elegantly,
the
white
shirt
and
but
most
of
what
I've
heard
here,
there
is
no
zoning
violations
there.
It's
mostly
things
that
have
to
be
mitigated,
mitigated
to
probably
MoU
with
the
neighborhood
and
with
the
developer.
That's
that's
mitigation
plans,
that's
something
that
we
see
all
the
time
and
the
only
violation
that
was
cited
by
Lisa,
based
on
what
I
just
saw
was
a
jihad
article
32.
That's
all,
there's
only
violation
that
was
there
and.
