From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearings 3/28/23 - Part 1 of 2
Description
Part 2: https://youtu.be/x9Bi3E5ptAk
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.

A
A
Okay,
roll
call,
miss
panado
here.
F
You,
madam
here,
the
first
item
on
the
agenda,
is
for
the
approval
of
the
hearing
minutes
from
February
7th
2023.
G
E
F
F
F
H
Okay
is
Mr
Ross
present
yeah
I
am
hi.
Madam
chair
good
morning
to
you
good
morning,
members
of
the
board
Mr
secretary.
It
is
true.
This
is
the
third
request
of
this
particular
address
application
I
might
put
in
some
context
here.
The
initial
relief
was
granted
12
18
2018.,
so
the
municipal
Relief
act
existed
in
between
then
and
now,
the
entire
one
year
and
three
months.
H
So
if
you
subtracted
that
you'd
be
left
with
one
year
and
six
weeks,
that
was
say
a
clean
Grant
from
the
board,
if
you
will
so
you
know
with
take
removing
the
statutory
required
and
allowed
extension
period
of
the
municipal
Leaf
act.
The
non
kind
of
non-statutory
relief
that
we
have
received
from
this
board
was
that
one
year
and
several
weeks
and
now
we're
at
a
situation
where
the
you
know,
there's
there's
obviously
you've
heard
this.
There's
instability
in
the
market
and
the
rates
are
very
difficult.
H
One
other
complicating
factor
is
that
the
the
principal
this
is
a
two-person
team.
That
own
is
the
owner
of
this
one
111
Tara
Street
project,
the
one
of
the
principles
had
serious
health
complications
as
well.
So
those
all
conspired
to
bring
me
back
here
for
a
third
request
before
before
you,
madam
chair.
G
J
K
This
work
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Paul
Ruffo
I'm,
an
attorney
in
Boston
at
Smith,
Duggan,
Cornell,
Angola,
88,
Broad
Street
in
Boston
and
I'm
happy
to
report
that
this
project
has
actually
made
a
lot
of
progress
in
the
last
year.
This
is
a
project
that
goes
back
some
years,
but
to
just
focus
on
the
projects
that
we
have
made,
and
this
is
a
request
for
an
extension
to
March
31st
2024.
K
K
A
Thank
you,
Mr
rufo
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
A
F
F
Next,
we
have
case
boa
106
7117
the
address
of
six
Kelly
Court.
This
is
the
first
request
for
an
extension
decision
which
will
just
which
will
expire
on
April
23rd
of
this
year.
If
extension
is
granted,
the
next
extent
expiration
date
will
be
April.
23Rd
2024
is
the
applicant
to
a
representative
president.
M
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
attorney.
Patrick
Sweeney
I
represent
Judy
Tibbetts.
The
homeowner
here
my
address
is
261
Main
Street
Charlestown
members
of
the
board.
This
is
a
property
that
Mrs
Tibbetts
who's
in
her
late
70s
acquired
from
the
bra
many
years
ago.
M
It
was
actually
made
up
of
two
different
Parcels
one
being
six
Kelly
court,
but
it
had
been
combined,
Mrs
Tibbetts
back
in
19
2019,
so
I
had
to
subdivide
the
property
and
did
subdivide
the
property
with
the
intent
of
building
a
home
for
her
son
and
grandchild
as
a
result
of
the
fact
that
it
was
bra
property.
At
one
point,
it
was
subject
to
an
LDA.
We
had
to
go
the
prop
through
the
process
of
creating
a
new
one,
all
of
that
took
until
July
of
2022.
M
M
Unfortunately,
health
reasons
and
financial
reasons
prevent
her
from
going
forward
in
February,
we
sold
the
project
and
we
have
a
developer
who's
going
to
build
a
home
as
planned,
and
but
he
has
submitted
the
necessary
documents
in
these
waiting
water
into
our
approval.
So
we
need
a
little
bit
more
time
just
to
complete
that.
A
M
F
N
Morning,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
and
our
board
members,
my
name
is
Mike
Friar
Moore
I'm,
a
managing
member
of
267,
Old,
Colony,
LFC
I,
think
we're
currently
apply
for
a
building
permit.
The
only
business
missing
is
the
ber
approval,
which
we've
had
a
meeting
last
week
with
the
ber
board,
so
we're
pending
approval.
A
Thank
you
was
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
G
A
G
G
A
F
F
F
F
O
Yes,
Mr
secretary
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adams
and
maranti
business
address
of
168,
8th
Street,
first
floor
South,
Boston
I'm
here
covering
for
my
colleague,
George
moranzi.
Today,
these
matters
were
approved
by
the
board
as
companion
cases
on
March
23
2021.
There
were
two
applications:
one.
The
first
application
was
for
a
renovation
of
the
existing
building
at
8
dacey
Street,
leaving
its
occupancy
as
a
two-family
dwelling.
O
The
second
application
was
a
renovation
and
an
extension
of
the
existing
building
at
1449
through
1453
Hyde,
Park
Avenue,
and
changing
that
building's
occupancy
from
a
two
family
to
a
nine
family
dwelling,
in
other
words
the
two
buildings.
The
total
number
of
units
is
eleven
two
at
Daisy
Street
and
nine
at
Hyde
Park
Avenue.
That
is
an
increase
of
seven
units,
all
of
which
were
in
the
Hyde
Park
Avenue
building.
The
reason
this
is
here
for
the
board
of
final
Arbiters
that
the
zba
decisions
recycle
the
Hyde
Park
Avenue
buildings
approved
documents.
O
He
was
for
seven
units
rather
than
nine.
That
was
meant
to
indicate
seven
new
units
in
addition
to
to
the
two
that
were
already
there.
So
nothing
is,
in
fact
changing.
Isd
is
merely
wants
the
zba
to
confirm
that
the
total
number
of
units
approved
at
eight
Daisy
Street
is
two
and
that
the
total
number
of
units
approved
at
1449
through
1453
Hyde
Park
Avenue,
is
nine.
This
is
exactly
shown
on
the
plans
and
approved
by
the
board,
our
March
2021,
and
we're
just
merely
clarifying
the
ambiguity
and
the
language
of
the
decisions.
G
F
F
Q
The
I
sent
a
detailed
letter
and
attached
plans
of
the
issue
at
hand.
What
happened?
The
board
approved
on
August
24
2021,
the
a
set
of
drawings
that
was
presented
by
Attorney
Stuart
schreier,
that
set
of
drawings.
The
board
requested
clarification
and
a
return
to
the
board
with
those
clarifications
they
consisted
of
defining
a
basement
space
as
how
it
would
connect
to
the
first
floor
of
the
three
family.
This
is
a
project
built
on
a
vacant
wanting
to
be
built
on
a
vacant
lot.
Q
There
was
some
question
about
the
grading
and
access
to
the
front
door.
There
was
an
accessible
entrance
into
the
first
floor
unit
and
it
was
believed
that
it
was
shown
to
be
a
difficult
way
of
coming
into
the
building.
It
was
thought
that
perhaps
grading
could
clarify
that
we
hired
a
civil
engineer
who
shot
grades
and
we
developed
a
plan
without
the
need
for
an
accessible
entrance
onto
the
front
of
the
building,
the
clarification
of
how
parking
and
those
elements
would
take
place.
Q
The
civil
engineer
was
able
to
develop
that
grading
plan
and
show
that
there's
no
change.
It's
a
clarification
to
the
drawings.
The
unfortunate
situation
is
that
the
client
in
January
of
2022
was
the
only
drawings
that
he
could
have
signed
off
were
a
set
of
drawings.
Q
So
what
we
developed
in
a
set
of
drawings
here
that
we
label
as
Group
C
set
C,
which
shows
the
connection
between
the
first
floor
and
lower
level.
The
board
wanted
to
be
assured
that
it
would
be
only
a
three
family
and
that
a
unit
wouldn't
be
mothballed
for
a
basement
space.
So
they
wanted
that
stairway
and
access
clarified,
plus
the
definition
of
that
space.
Our
plans
show
that,
and
they
show
this
new
entrance
without
the
need
for
a
handicapped,
accessible
entrance.
The
grading
shows
that
and
improves
that.
Q
E
The
only
question
I
have
is
more
of
a
clarification
for
the
six
parking
spaces.
Did
you
receive
a
variance
for
six
parking
spaces
and
is
that
still
the
same.
G
E
F
F
Next,
we'll
move
to
the
9
30
A.M
hearings
at
this
time,
we'll
ask
if
there's
any
withdrawals
or
deferrals
for
this
time
period
that
someone
would
like
to
push
forward.
Mr.
F
And
518
Park
Street
yeah
and
the
second,
the.
F
Okay,
I
apologize.
What
was
the
second
address.
G
F
F
Okay,
so
back
to
this
first
case
over
one
one:
four:
zero:
five:
seven:
zero
one:
five
one:
eight
five:
twenty
Park
Street
yeah.
O
The
chair
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz
Adams,
emergency
business,
address
of
168,
8th
Street,
first
floor,
South,
Boston
the
reason
we're
asking
for
a
deferral
today.
There
is
a
companion
case
on
this
at
522
Park
Street,
which
includes
the
off
street
parking
for
this
extension,
a
livable
space
at
5
18
through
520..
Both
applications
need
to
be
heard
simultaneously
so
and
it's
going
to
have
to
be
re-advertised
and
regrouped
together.
So
we
would
ask
for
a
a
deferral
on
this
matter.
Please
what.
A
What
time
frame
what's
the
earliest
sorry,
what's
the
earliest
available.
G
F
F
F
O
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz
Adam
is
a
moranzi
business
address
of
168
8th
Street
first
floor
South
Boston.
In
this
case
we
made
some
substantial
changes
to
the
plans
and
still
are
awaiting
a
meeting
scheduled
with
the
local
Civic
group
to
discuss
those
changes
which
is
scheduled
for
April
10th.
So
until
we
can
complete
the
community
process,
we're
just
asking
for
a
short
deferral
on
this
matter.
G
E
F
T
This
is
a
pretty
straightforward
matter,
as
you
can
see
in
this
rendering
we
are
proposing
to
change
the
occupancy
or
confirm
the
occupancy
of
a
one
family
dwelling,
that's
on
the
property
now
to
keep
that
building
at
an
addition
in
Dormers
and
to
change
it
to
a
two
unit,
two-family
building-
and
these
would
be
two
separate
townhouses
front
to
back,
and
these
would
be
condominium
units.
T
This
would
also
improve
include
three
parking
spaces
in
the
rear
of
the
property.
Then
those
spaces
would
house
the
folks
in
this
building
and
they
would
be
accessed
through
an
existing,
curb
cut
and
driveway.
That's
on
the
property.
Now
this
this
photo
shows
the
existing
building.
As
we
went
through
the
community
process,
we
felt
it
was
important
to
try
to
keep
this
building,
which
we
were
able
to
do
and
build
it
with
the
addition
and
the
dorm
is
on
top.
T
As
you
can
see,
it
fits
in
the
context
of
the
surrounding
properties
in
the
neighborhood.
If
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
this
particular
zoning
District
we
now
get
into
the
plans
is
a
2f
5000.
Our
watt
size
is
slightly
under
at
4990
square
feet.
The
existing
building
is
a
two
and
a
half
scoring
structure
that
would
be
adding
Dormers
to
make
three
stories.
The
building
to
the
left
of
us
is
a
three
unit.
Condominium.
Building
to
the
right
is
two
units.
T
It's
a
mix
of
mostly
ones
and
twos,
and
some
threes
in
this
area
I
can
go
to
the
next
live.
Please,
as
we
went
through
the
process,
we
originally
had
proposed
a
three
unit.
Building
the
community
felt
that
was
excessive
a
lot,
so
we
were
asked
to
reduce
that
also
to
increase
parking
from
two
to
three
spaces.
T
You
can
see
in
this
a
site
plan
where
the
addition
begins
and
ends
at
the
back
of
the
building
that
addition
would
be
accessed
from
the
side
that
would
be
unit
two
in
the
front
unit
would
be
accessed
through
the
front
door.
You
can
see
the
10
foot
curb
cut
that
leads
to
the
three
spaces
in
the
back,
two
of
which
are
full
spaces.
One
is
a
compact
space.
The
unit
breakdown,
as
was
mentioned,
these
are
almost
identical
units.
T
These
are
both
three
bedroom
two
bath
units
unit,
one
is
2
200
square
feet
and
unit
2
is
2110
square
feet.
The
basement.
It's
just.
It
will
be
used
as
a
storage,
space
and
HVAC
condenser
space.
As
we
go
up
to
in
the
floor
plans,
unit
one
would
have
the
Living
Kitchen
a
half
bath
and
that
would
also
house
unit
two
Living
Kitchen
half
bath
second
floor,
also
identical
on
the
buildings.
It
would
house
two
bedrooms
and
a
bathroom
for
unit
one
and
two
bedrooms
bathroom
and
a
rear
deck.
T
The
back
for
unit
two
and
then
the
third
floor
would
have
one
additional
bedroom
for
unit
one
a
bathroom
and
an
office
space,
and
then
unit
two
would
have
same
one
bedroom
office
and
a
rare
deck
on
that
unit.
In
the
back
of
the
building,
as
well
as
I
had
mentioned,
we're
diligently
with
the
English
to
the
students,
the
size
and
so
the
change
to
this
building.
T
To
get
to
these
two
family
style
units
that
you
see
today
just
to
go
over
the
violations
we're
slightly
under
on
the
lot
size,
as
was
mentioned
at
4990
square
feet,
because
we
are
dormering
the
building.
We
are
going
up
to
three
stories
at
35
feet,
eight
inches,
so
we
would
need
height
variances
with
the
loudest
two
and
a
half
and
thirty
five
feet
so
we're
slightly
over
by
eight
inches
on
the
building
height
and
then
two
and
a
half
would
be
a
lot
of
stories
about
three.
T
Our
far
is
0.87.5
is
what's
allowed
under
the
code
we
meet
side
front
setbacks,
rear
yard,
we're
at
23
feet,
9
inches
40
would
be
required,
so
we
do
need
a
rare
yard
set
back
parking,
we're
still
short
under
the
code,
but
we
do
have
three
spaces.
T
Two
per
unit
would
be
required
and
that
we're
under
on
open
space,
1750
square
feet
would
be
required.
We're
at
565
square
feet.
I
can
pause
now
and
answer
any
questions
that
the
board
may
have.
T
Yeah,
there's
a
garage
back
that
would
come
down,
there's
like
a
structure
from
the
rear,
so
there
is
something
in
the
backgrounds
about
two
spaces,
but
we
would
be
adding
the
additional
on
that
the
additional
spot
came
from
our
work
with
the
community.
They
asked
for
more.
We
originally
too
thank.
E
B
Just
a
concern:
it
appears
that
you're
going
to
occur
clear-cut
all
the
mature
Trees
and
Landscaping
on
this
site
to
accommodate
that
parking.
Is
that
correct.
T
So
there
is
some
trees,
in
fact,
that
that
would
come
down
just
to
make
the
the
parking
functional,
but
we're
able
to
have
landscape
and
even
plant
a
tree
in
the
front
we
had
said
some
of
those
trees
are
on
the
back
property
too,
that
sort
of
overhang
over
so
they
wouldn't
have
to
come
down
in
this
picture.
We
would
only
take
down
what's
necessary,
so
yeah,
but
we
are,
we
are
keeping
as
much
of
the
Landscapes
possible.
T
We
also
agreed
to
permeable
pavers
as
well,
but
we
are
open
to
there's
anything.
The
board
would
like
to
recommend,
obviously
for
design.
G
I
just
see
that
the
proposal
is
essentially
destroying
is
throwing
all
the
The
Opening
space.
What
they're
getting
the
space
the
driveway
is
very
long.
The
three
parking
spaces
are
not
really
allowing
they
use
all
the
space
to
be
used
by
the
new
resin.
So
that
is
just
what
I
wanted
to
present
to
to
the
team,
because
this
kind
of
projects
allow
more
space
for
cars,
but
remove
all
the
usable
space
for
for
the
families
who
will
be
living
there.
G
T
That
that
response
here,
so
there
is
an
existing
driveway
with
the
garage
and
back
we
would
be
taking
that
down,
but
to
make
the
turn
radius
you're
right
I
mean
we
would
be
if
the
board
wants
to
see
more
green
space,
and
this
we
were
only
proposing
two
spaces
which
are
on
the
site.
Now
we
got
strong
pushback
from
the
community
to
add
additional
Park.
We
would
be
happy
to
modify
that.
That's
something
that
the
board
would
like
to
see.
I
know
in
the
bpda
recommendation
for
approval.

V
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor
shops,
Neighborhood
Services,
the
sun
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Our
office
held
three
abutters
meetings
for
this
proposal.
Initially
there
was
a
lot
of
opposition
expressed
from
a
Butters,
but,
as
you
heard
from
the
app
with
representation,
it
made
some
alterations
to
the
project.
There
was
a
strong
push
for
my
from
what
I
understand
from
more
parking
spaces
on
the
lot.
If
it
was
going
to
be,
density
was
going
to
be
added
to
the
to
the
lot.
V
We
understand
that
they
also
did
some
Outreach
with
RV
Ms
as
well,
but
with
that
we
refer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank.
T
W
A
Thank
you
hearing.
None
may
I,
have
a
motion.
E
Madam
chair
I'd
like
to
perform
a
motion
of
approval
with
some
provisos.
One
is
bpda
design
review
on
the
lot,
paying
special
attention
to
the
permeable
to
the
material
recommending
permeable,
paving
material
and
the
second
Proviso
is
to
preserve
or
replace
one-to-one
existing
trees.
A
Thank
you
may
I
have
a
second.
X
O
Mr
secretary
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adams
and
moranti
business
address
of
168,
8th
Street
first
floor,
South
Boston.
This
is
a
proposal
to
erect
a
single
family
dwelling
with
two
off
street
parking
spaces
in
a
4096
square
foot
vacant
lot.
This
proposal
is
located
within
a
2f
5000
sub-district
single
family
will
consist
of
approximately
2026
square
feet
of
total
living
area.
First
floor
will
be
an
open
concept.
Living
room
in
a
kitchen
second
floor
will
consist
of
three
bedrooms.
Third
floor
will
consist
of
a
family
room.
O
We
have
three
violations
on
this
proposal.
Two
of
the
violations
are
existing
conditions,
one
being
the
law
size
as
it
as
it
is
what
we're
proposing
the
lot
is
under
the
five
thousand,
which
is
required
in
this
sub-district
and
the
other
being
a
lot
with,
as
the
existing
condition
is
under
50
feet,
we're
at
approximately
41.45
square
feet.
The
last
violation
is
the
side
yard
setback.
O
We
are
complying
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
dwelling,
but
we're
slightly
below
the
10
foot
requirement
at
approximately
seven
feet,
six
inches,
which
is
the
side
that
is
abutting
the
shared
driveway.
As
you
are
aware,
there
is
a
sheer
driveway
owned
by
120
Bird
Street,
which
is
set
in
the
back
of
this
proposal.
O
E
V
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
quantity
move
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment.
This
board
are
off
to
sell
two
voters.
Meetings
for
120
and
122
Birch
Street
I
understand
that
there
was
initially
some
concerns
with
the
density
that
was
proposed,
but
changes
were
made
to
the
proposal
to
address
those
concerns
with
that
we
refer
to
the
judgmental
support.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
G
A
A
U
Hello,
are
you
able
to
hear
me
yes,
great,
so
I
am
the
managing
partner
of
the
nine
Ferndale
building
the
owner
of
11
to
13
is
also
present.
We
also
have
the
engineer
who
designed
this
plan.
The
plan
that
is
being
rejected.
Right
now
is
not
the
most
recent
version.
U
There
was
a
updated
version
uploaded
to
the
system
in
which
we
made
alterations
to
the
a
number
of
parking
spaces.
In
accordance
with
the
refusal
letter,
we
received
the
size
of
each
parking
space
and
with
the
intention
of
increasing
maneuverability
space,
I'm
happy
to
share
that
if
I'm
allowed
to
that,
it
is
also
in
the
portal.
A
Yeah
we
can't
share.
We
can't
share
your
screen,
but
what's
the
difference
in
what's
listed
and
what
you're
proposing
in
terms
of
parking.
U
Yeah,
so
the
parking
spaces
on
each
lot
would
be
reduced
by
one
each,
so
there
would
be
four
on
the
seven
to
nine
framed
outside
and
three
on
the
11
to
13..
That
would
allow
the
spaces
to
be
moved
perpendicular
to
where
they
are
now,
so
that
they
would
be
along
the
two
sides
and
increase
maneuverability
space.
U
We
also
have
our
engineer
here
who
will
be
able
to
provide
more
context
on
the
plan.
Specifically,
this
project
is
just
to
provide
access
to
these
two
shared
Hercules
face
lots
for
the
buildings.
F
No
question
comment
about
it
shares.
What
she
described
is
what
BTD
bothered
Miko
has
described
that
you'd
like
to
see
actually.
F
R
B
U
So
I
will
speak
on
behalf
of
that
question.
11
to
13
has
eight
terms
call
on
the
other
side
of
the
building,
so
we
would
be
proposing
to
move
that
they
currently
do
not
have
a
driveway
or
parking
lot
in
the
back
of
their
building.
11
to
13
is
three
units
with
three
bedrooms.
Each
and
Ferndale
is
three
bedrooms.
U
Of
sorts,
a
shared
easement,
driveway,
I
guess
Steve
I
believe,
is
the
if
he
is
in
April
this
week.
That
would
be
next.
Y
Steve,
yes,
Ramon,
Sharon
and
board
members.
Can
you
hear
me
yes
good
morning?
All
yes
in
regards
to
this
project?
There
is
a
curb
cut
that
is
currently
in
place
on
the
left
side
of
11
to
13.,
but
due
to
setbacks
and
the
way
the
houses
sit
on
the
property
that
access
on
that
side
is
not
feasible.
Due
to
the
bump
out
in
the
house
on
the
left
side
of
11
to
13.,
it
only
provides
a
six
foot
clearance,
which
would
not
be
feasible
for
a
vehicle.
That's
right,
yeah.
Y
We
developed
the
easement
between
both
properties
between
the
two
houses,
which
gives
us
our
10
foot,
access
to
the
Rail
Yards
and
the
current
plan.
I
did
rotate
the
parking
spots
as
wished
by
Mr
D'amico,
to
fit
and
give
us
a
bit
of
turn
and
radius
and
subject
to
the
adjacent
properties,
much
like
in
the
rear
on
lot
33,
which
is
eight
elm
Elmhurst,
where
they
currently
do
have
an
existing
pocket
in
the
rear,
similar
to
what
we're
proposing
I
believe
they
have
four
parking
spots
at
this
time.
Y
Open
it
up.
Yes,
so
on
the
comments
with
the
size
of
the
parking
spaces
requested,
we
were
able
to
fit
in
a
another
parking
spot
due
to
the
space
on
lot
20,
which
is
seven
to
nine
Ferndale.
Y
That
configuration
of
the
House
of
law
gave
us
an
extra
spot
where
on
Lot
21
11
to
13,
the
configuration
only
allows
us
to
have
three
parking
spots
with
that
extra
square
footage
on
the
lot,
and
basically
the
shape
of
a
lot
is
a
little
bit
different.
It
allowed
us
to
get
the
extra
parking
spot
in
at
the
required
Dimensions
Mr
D'amico
asked
for
thank.
V
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
our
office
Helena
Butters
meeting
in
early
January.
We
also
directed
the
applicant
to
reach
out
to
the
Talbot
Norfolk
triangle.
Association,
our
office
is
unaware
of
any
concerns
at
this
time.
We'd
have
either
letters
of
support
or
opposition.
Thank
you.
D
Good
morning
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
I'm
the
office
of
counselor
Brian
Worrell,
the
applicant
for
seven
to
nine
Vander
Street,
having
received
no
letters
of
oppositional
support
and
having
a
majority
of
support
from
the
budding
Civic
tablet.
Norfolk
triangle,
the
council
basketball
record
in
support
of
the
project.
Thank.
U
Hi,
yes,
this
is
councilman
Murphy,
oh
hey,
hi
I
do
want
to
go
on
record
in
support.
A
E
Madam
chair
I
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
of
approval,
which
you
Proviso
one
is
BTD
design
review
on
the
parking
layout
to
have
adequate
maneuverability.
The
second
is
bpda
design
review
on
the
site
plan
to
ensure
open
space
and
to
ensure
also
permeable,
paving
material
and
I
guess
a
third
one
would
be
to
limit
the
parking
space
to
be
three
on
each
side.
A
E
So
there's
so
the
BTD
there's
three
Proviso
one
is
to
ensure
that
there's
only
three
parking
spaces
on
each
lot
and
then
the
BTD
is
looking
at
Park
and
layout
and
maneuverability.
G
A
AA
E
F
AB
AB
AB
We
are
proposing
to
erect
the
new
three
family
new
three
family
dwelling,
he's
used
as
three
bedrooms,
two
two
baths
with
a
living
room
in
the
eat-in
kitchen
and
we
we're
looking
for
a
relief
for
front
front
side
and
rear
setbacks.
AB
Anything
else
you
want
to
add
yep,
so
we
went
to
a
community
meeting
when
we
went
to
the
community
meeting.
They
had
asked
us
about
about
about
providing
parking.
So
what
what
we
did?
We
had
a
member
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
have
the
the
the
latest
site
plan
where
we
show
where
we're
gonna
we're
the
owner
propose
to
share
the
share
the
driveway
and
we
had
the
the
surveyors
show
two
parking
spaces
behind
130
in
132,
Devon
Street,
the
owner
lives
at
130.
B
AB
Would
be
so
what
would
be
when
we
talked
to
the
surveyor?
What
we?
What
would
be
on
proposal
do
is
to
put
a
a
shared
driveway
in
between
both
properties.
The
driver
would
be
10
feet
wide,
so
we
would
shift
over
the
existing
curb
cut
just
over
about
a
maybe
maybe
a
foot
and
a
half,
and
so
the
driver
would
come
in
between
the
units,
and
we
would
put,
we
propose
to
put
two
parking
spaces
behind
the
existing
house
and
two
behind
the
proposed
new
structure.
B
AD
Yes,
sir,
that
require
any
zoning
relief
for
the
abutting
property
for
having
an
easement
going
over
the
property
over
to
create
that
driveway
kind
of
similar
to
what
we
had
on
Ferndale
yep.
E
I
was
going
to
say:
Jeff,
it's
I,
don't
have
drawings
of
that
proposal,
so
I,
don't
even
think
we
can
table
that
yeah.
AD
I
didn't
want
to
speak
to
the
on
this,
but
it
just
seems
like
it
may
be
a
companion
case
and
I.
Don't
think
that
would
want
to
do
it
in
two
pieces
right.
E
E
Well,
it's
the
applicant
for
them
to
know
that
there's
two
options.
One
is
to
move
forward
with
this,
but
we
can't
really
review
the
proposals
of
parking
because
that's
not
in
front
of
us
or
whether
they
would
want
to
entertain
deferral
to
bring
it.
As
a
companion
case
is
what
Jeff
is
mentioning.
AC
Yeah
I
took
him
to
the
boa,
where
I
have
it
ready
and
he
said
to
me
going
through
the
meeting
and
show
him
and
after
the
meeting
finish,
we
can
give
it
to
the
plan.
I
had
a
blank
physical
with
me,
I
wouldn't
send
it
to
my
photo.
A
AB
V
Oh
yes,
random,
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor
of
soft
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor
saw
us
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
our
office
element
Butters
meeting
on
September
26th.
Some
residents
were
very
supportive
of
this
project.
Support
of
having
a
new
three
family,
especially
with
having
our
street
parking
to
accompany
the
proposal.
Other
residents
on
the
street
Express
concerns
about
the
existing
density
and
felt
that
this,
despite
the
on-street
parking,
would
add
to
a
competition
of
parking
spaces.
V
We
had
the
applicant
meet
with
the
Devon
Normandy
Brunswick
Street's
residence
Association,
who
opted
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
with
that
Turner
to
you
guys.
Thank
you.
D
Good
morning
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
IO
from
the
awesome
Council
Worrell,
the
applicant
for
132
Devon
Street,
having
no
letters
of
support
or
opposition,
and
the
direct
Civic
interval
Normandy
civic
association,
sending
a
letter
before
a
deferral.
The
counselor
would
like
to
follow
suit
and
refer
to
the
board
as
well.
AE
This
is
nightclosing
for
project
right,
320,
the
letter,
a
blue
Avenue
on
behalf
of
a
budding
residence.
We
do
want
to
confirm
that
the
applicant
did
meet
with
a
couple
times
with
the
association
to
address
their
concerns.
We
are
concerned
about
this
project,
proceeding
without
the
parking
plan
being
in
place.
So
at
this
time
we'll
we
we
wish
that
they
would
have
deferred
and
then,
since
they
haven't
deferred,
then
we
will
wish
to
oppose
until
this
time
comes
together
with
the
part
all
street
parking
plan.

You
Mr
secretary,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members,
of
the
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago,
with
Drago
and
Toscano,
with
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
and
owner
Eric.
Tam
and
I
also
have
the
architect
Evan
Stillman,
with
culsa
design.
What
you're
looking
at
is
a
rendering
of
the
front
of
the
building.
This
building
is
already
existing.
We
are
proposing
to
change
the
occupancy.
It's
an
existing
four
unit,
building
down
to
three
so
reducing
the
occupancy
for
larger
units.
Renovating
the
existing
structure.
T
T
The
this
particular
sub-district
is
an
MFR.
These
additions
and
the
rare
are
very
common.
Our
back
of
butter
is
a
public
park.
The
Watts,
the
unit
rate
down,
is
now
at
this
point.
If
we
were
before
these
are
unit,
one
would
be
a
two
bedroom.
Two
bath:
that's
1600,
24
square
feet,
unit,
2,
761
square
foot,
one
bed,
one
bath
and
then
unit
3,
1817
square
foot,
three
bedroom
two
and
a
half
Baths
on
top,
as
I
had
mentioned.
T
This
would
reduce
the
unit
count
and
these
units
would
become
larger.
The
as
we
went
through
this
process
and
working
with
eight
streets,
Association
neighbors
we
actually
reduced
and
introduced
a
series
of
pullbacks
of
the
rare
of
the
property.
T
The
first
floor,
which
is
already
existing
at
goes
out,
is
four
foot
two
inches
in
the
rear,
but
as
we
start
to
move
up
the
building,
we
instituted
decks
open
air
decks
in
the
back
and
pull
the
building
into
the
rear.
On
the
second
floor,
we
pulled
in
eight
feet,
seven
inches
and
then
on
the
third
and
fourth,
we
pulled
in
13
feet,
seven
inches
as
well.
Basically,
what
this
addition
will
give
is
an
extra
663
square
feet
Aggregate,
and
it
gives
us
a
rare
stairway
as
well
in
the
rear.
T
The
violations
are
I'm
going
to
go
over
those.
Now
we
were
cited
for
g-cod
and
we
submitted
our
no
home
letter
stamp
Boston
water
sewer
plants
to
Mr
simonelli.
We
were
cited
for
far
at
4.2.
T
We
were
cited
for
parking,
there's,
none
provided
existing,
so
we're
actually
reducing
unit
count,
but
no
parking
is
provided
and
then
usable,
open
space,
we're
close
to
226
square
feet.
Total
would
be
required
and
we
are
at
198
square
feet.
I
can
pause
to
answer.
Any
questions
at
the
board
may
happen.
A
Thank
you.
Can
you
confirm
the
the
current
to
planned
height?
There
were
a
few
letters
of
concern
that
you
know
talked
about
going
from
three
stories
to
five
stories
and
some
other
things.
So
I
just
want
to
confirm
the
height
that
year,
yeah.
T
It
is
saying
exactly
the
same,
so
this
is
all
right.
The
only
thing
we're
changing
is
in
the
back,
and
in
this
perspective
you
can
see
where
actually
the
right
side
is
existing
massing,
so
we're
actually
coming
out
of
the
upper
levels
but
then
pulling
in
and
adding
those
stacks
on
the
left
side
of
it.
We're
adding
that
stairwell,
which
does
bump
the
building
out
on
that
left
side,
but
gives
us
the
stairs.
T
E
T
I'm
glad
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up
so
I
don't
see
how
the
coastal
flood
resiliency
overlay
District
would
apply
in
this
case,
if
you
read
through
and
again
I'm,
not
an
expert
on
it.
But
if
you
read
through
the
applicability,
it's
all
for
editions
of
twenty
thousand
or
ten
thousand
or
more
or
substantial
Rehabilitation
over
100
000
square
feet
or
units
over
15.
I
have
a
b
c
and
d
of
all.
T
The
applicability
and
I
don't
see
how
it
applocks
here,
but
even
beyond
that
we'd
be
limited
it
to
the
laundry
and
rack
only
you
so
there's
no
bedrooms,
there's
no
kitchen
but
Jeff
I'm.
Sorry,
yeah.
AD
No
I'm
not
saying
that
the
sea
fraud
applies
and
you're
exactly
right.
It's
just
if
you
have
been
looking
at
our
recommendations
for
every
project,
that's
been
in
the
sea
fraud,
even
if
the
sea
fry
is
not
applicable,
we're
not
in
favor
of
any
living
space
and
basements.
Okay,
this
has
happened
in
southeast
South,
End,
yeah,
I.
Think
and
I
completely
agree
with
you.
It's
it's
not
it's
just
the
policy.
AD
E
You
it's
recommended.
It's
recommended
So,
based
on
what
you've
seen
Jeff.
Would
you
be
okay
if
there's
a
rec
room.
AD
Yeah,
if
it
was
in
the
sea
fraud,
it
was
a
separate
living.
If
you
did
separate
unit
also
gathered,
are
not
connected
to
the
first
floor.
I
would
have
more
of
a
problem
than
what
this
this
proposal.
Okay.
Thank
you.
A

The
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
at
this
time
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
our
office
helped
multiple
voters
meetings
in
March
of
2022
in
March
of
2023
and
the
applicant
met
with
the
eight
streets
neighborhood
association,
multiple
times
as
well.
There
were
some
concerns
from
residents
overall
of
the
overall
size
of
the
project,
as
well
as
some
concerns
over
the
notification
process.
V
The
applicant
reduced
the
size
and
scope
of
the
addition
in
you
know,
after
feedback
from
those
neighbors,
the
applicant
also
received
direct
support,
support
from
direct
abunders
and
our
office
received
two
letters
of
opposition
again
at
this
time
our
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Thank
you.
C
Z
AH
Good
morning
my
name
is
Gail
siamoto
and
I
am
also
here
with
John
Malouf,
and
we
live
at
eight
Bond
Street
in
the
South
End
just
around
the
corner
from
the
proposed
project.
We
have
submitted
a
letter
of
opposition
to
this
project
and
many
of
our
neighbors
feel
the
same
way.
There
were
multiple
issues
with
a
notification
process
for
the
most
recent
Butters
meeting.
None
of
us
received
a
notice
for
that.
AH
AH
Most
concerning
is
the
top
the
fifth
floor
Edition,
because
none
currently
exists
in
the
area
where
a
Edition
is
built
out
on
that
top
floor.
AH
I
I
do
note
that
the
applicant
had
made
modifications
to
address
some
of
the
concerns,
but
they
did
not
address
the
issue
of
such
a
great
build
out
really
for
the
fourth
and
fifth
floors,
and
the
sentiment
of
the
neighborhood
association
was
that
this
will
lead
to
each
applicant
on
this
section
and
in
the
area
wanting
to
build
out
a
greater
level
on
the
upper
floors.
AH
I
will
note
that
this
project
proposes
to
increase
the
far
from
2.29
I
believe
to
over
four
and
to
increase
the
square
footage
of
the
house
to
over
5
000
square
feet.
We
are
also
concerned
about
the
use
of
space
in
the
basement.
There
are
currently
no
windows
at
all
in
the
front
of
the
house
on
that
level
and
they
are
proposing
to
put
two
windows
in
the
rear,
but
in
a
light
well
in
in
on
the
rear.
For
that
lowest
level.
AH
T
Right
so
we're
not
adding
another
level
Madam
chair
if
I
may
just
respond
quickly.
This
type
of
addition
is
very
common.
It's
actually
on
both
sides
of
us.
Bond
Street
is
a
significant
ways
away.
This
wouldn't
even
really
affect
anyone
on
Bond
Street
but
again
in
terms
of
notification.
You've
had
three
meetings
with
the
civic
association,
three
of
butter
meetings.
I
think
the
issue
is
some
of
these
larger
buildings.
When
flowering,
we
actually
sent
supporting
documentation
by
way
of
photos
of
us
actually
putting
the
Flyers
on
the
buildings.
T
We're
not
allowed,
as
you
know,
to
put
them
in
mailboxes,
so
we
have
to
either
taint
them
or
to
doors
or
try
to
get
inside
the
building
which
we
did
and
we
do.
We
did
provide
the
mayor's
office
with
pictures
of
that
that
all
of
the
meetings
before
the
civic
association
were
well
attended
and
the
group
actually
made
the
recommendation
to
us
of
the
pull-ins
that
they
wanted
to
see
and
the
design
changes
with
my
wish,
my
client
accommodate
so
again
in
the
basement.
T
This
would
only
be
used
for
a
laundry
room,
a
little
rack
area
and
storage,
and
that
that
is
the
only
use
that
we
would
be
looking
for
by
making
these
units
larger
we're
actually
gaining.
Those
square
footage
to
make
these
family
size
are
units
which
many
folks
around
us
wanted
to
see
and
we're
happy
that
we
were
reducing
from
a
four
unit.
Building
down
to
a
threes.
T
Does
not
not
Nebraska.
E
AD
E
A
All
right,
sorry
did
we
have
a
second,
yes,
second,
thank
you.
Ms
panado,
yes,
Mr
Collins,.
X
A
AI
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Mark
lacasse
lacass
law,
75
Arlington
Street
in
Boston
attorney
for
the
trustees
of
the
Colombian
condominium
building
at
1154,
Washington,
Street
and
with
me,
is
Bob
Wells,
one
of
the
trustees
of
the
building
as
well.
We
can
stop
right
here
at
this
screen,
so
the
Colombian
building
is
shown
in
the
picture
on
the
left
side
of
the
plan.
AI
It
was
built
in
1892
and
was
actually
one
of
the
first
buildings
on
this
church
of
Washington
Street
to
be
revitalized
into
residential
use
way
before
any
of
the
other
new
buildings
along
this
stretch
of
Washington
existed.
It's
currently
comprised
of
City
Lights,
which
is
a
youth
Arts
organization
in
the
commercial
unit
at
ground
floor,
and
there
are
eight
residential
units
on
the
upper
floors
occupied
by
unit
owners.
AI
The
proposal
for
you
today
is
shown
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
screen,
although
they're
well,
the
proposal
is
for
a
common
roof
deck
for
the
eight
unit
owners
and
the
City
Lights
group
to
be
able
to
access.
There's
an
existing
head
house
shown
at
the
bottom
of
the
plant
there
a
large
box
on
the
roof
that
has
been
there
for
a
very
long
time
that
is
accessed
from
a
common
area
staircase
on
the
sixth
floor,
and
that
would
be
the
access
for
all
of
the
unit
owners
to
go
to
the
roof
deck.
AI
On
the
top
floor,
which
is
887
square
feet,
the
trustees
and
their
architect
worked
carefully
to
sort
of
position
the
roof
deck
such
that
it
is
behind
the
existing
head
house
so
as
not
to
be
visible
from
the
condominium
building
next
door
and
because
of
the
height
of
the
parapad
that
you
saw
in
the
picture
of
the
building.
It's
really
not
visible
at
all
from
the
street
or
from
Peter's
park
across
the
street,
because
that
parapet
is
about
four
feet:
high
when
you're
standing
on
the
roof
itself.
AI
AI
One
is
that
the
code
requires,
as
you
know,
the
preference
is
for
access
to
rooftex
B
through
a
hatch,
not
a
head
house,
but
given
that
this
is
a
pre-existing
head
house,
the
proposal
is
to
use
the
pre-existing
head
house
with
the
pre-existing
stairway
from
the
common
area
as
the
deck
access
and
because
the
height
of
the
existing
building
constructed
in
1892
exceeds
the
maximum
height
limit
in
the
South
End
of
70
feet.
Technically,
the
roof
deck
is
adding
to
that.
Because
is
it.
AI
We
would
then
submit
to
design
review
by
the
commission,
but
we
believe
that
the
way
it's
been
cited
behind
the
parapet
makes
it
not
visible,
as
you
can
see,
the
architect
shot
some
sight
lines
there
from
across
the
street
way
across
the
street,
in
Peters,
Park
and
because
of
the
height
of
the
parapet.
In
the
front,
visibility
is
not
an
issue,
so
those
those
were
the
two
zoning
items,
and
that
is
the
proposal
before
you
and
with
that
I
will
conclude
my
presentation.
AJ
Oh
yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board
and
Chris
Healey
from
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
our
office,
held
in
a
Butter's
meeting
in
January
of
2023,
where
concerns
over
noise
safety
in
a
number
of
variances
requested
were
risen.
We've
received
two
letters
of
the
opposition
for
this
proposal
and
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
AJ
AK
AD
AD
AD
Z
AF
Yeah
hi
I'm,
a
directive.
Buyer
excuse.
AF
1166
Washington
Street,
okay,
I'm,
a
director
butter,
I
apologize,
I
I,
don't
know
how
this
process
really
works.
I
sent
in
a
long
note
with
my
comments.
Hopefully
you
guys
will
be
able
to
take
the
time
to
read
them.
I
would
appreciate
it.
I
just
I
also
believe
their
material
elements
left
out
of
the
presentation
that
was
just
given
by
Council,
which
include
a
fire
pit
and
a
grill.
Those
material
elements
were
also
left
out
of
the
butters
meeting.
AF
It
only
came
up
in
the
Q
a
there
had
there
were
some
variances
also
granted
to
them
a
year
ago
for
the
head
house
in
the
back
of
the
building.
So
I
would
like
you
to
consider
this
request
holistically
with
all
the
variances
already
granted.
I
think
it's
been
broken
up
into
pieces
for
a
reason,
because
they're
asking
for
a
lot
I
think
the
shortest
summary
is
I
can
lift
the
main
roof
deck.
AF
Z
AI
Yes,
Madam
chair,
of
course,
any
grills
or
fire
pits
are
subject
to
separate
review
by
the
Boston
fire
department
and
ISD
pursuant
to
building
permits.
That
would
require
hard
piped
gas
lines
to
supply
the
gas
to
those
devices
not
at
all,
well
not
uncommon.
There
are
many
many
group
Decks
that
have
such
devices
they're
just
subject
to
a
separate,
permitting
process
and
and
not
considered
part
of
a
zoning
case.
AI
I
It's
just
just
to
quickly
answer
Doug's
comments,
one
in
particular.
He
talks
about
some
permits
that
were
that
were
issued
a
year
and
a
half
or
so
ago.
They
are
in
fact
unrelated
to
this.
The
penthouse
structure
that
has
existed
there
for
30
years
has
been
purchased
and
has
been
proposed
to
be
rehabbed.
I
That
has
nothing
to
do
with
this.
This
deck
proposal
performance
that
were
issued
for
that
had
to
do
with
connecting
that
Penthouse
to
the
floor
below,
so
it
would
become
part
of
the
back
unit.
Z
A
AL
I'm
representing
my
parents,
that
own
1146,
1148,
Washington,
Street,
Bob
and
Wells
and
I
have
spoken
I
understand
that
he's
going
to
need
access
of
my
parking
lot.
If
this
does
get
approved
to
to
bring
up
the
materials
I
just
want
to
make
window
holding
record
that
if
this
does
get
approved,
that,
if
we
do
work,
something
out
which
I
see
we
will
that
the
building
or
or
he
will
take
responsibility
of
any
kind
of
liabilities
of
of
having
this
crane
or
whatever
the
case
may
be
to
with
these
materials.

AA
F
T
Secretary
yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members,
the
board
attorney
Jeff,
Drago,
Rodrigo
and
Toscano.
With
the
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street,
we
are
seeking
an
administrative
deferral
due
to
the
fact
that
the
project
was
significantly
reduced
in
size.
New
claims
were
submitted
because
there
are
two
buildings
we
have
to
be
assigned,
two
addresses
which
we
are
still
waiting
on
from
ISD
and
then
plans
to
be
reviewed.
So
we
are
seeking
a
deferment.
A
Okay,
Javier
was
the
earliest
the
Pearl.
A
C
AD
A
A
You
identify
yourself
and
put
your
address
in
the
record.
AN
Sure
my
name
is
Kim
Napoli
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
underground
Legacy
Social
Club.
My
address
is
9
Spruce
Lane
and
we
also
have
two
other
Representatives
Jonathan
Napoli
and
Isaac
Canton
Burger
as
well.
AN
AN
Be
great
so
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
as
mentioned,
my
name
is
Kim
Napoli
I'm,
an
attorney
and
again
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
underground
Legacy
Social
Club
LL
C,
which
I'll
just
refer
to
as
underground
Legacy.
Again
with
me
today
are
Mr
Isaac,
Hansen
and
Jonathan
Napoli,
who,
along
with
myself,
are
owners
and
operators
of
this
facility.
I
think
we
also
have
helps
members
of
Helicon
design
here.
AN
Great,
so
we're
all
here
answering
questions
after
we
give
an
overview
I'll
get
right
to
it.
So
this
is
a
proposal
for
a
licensed
adult
use.
Cannabis
retail
store,
underground
Legacy
is
a
is
both
a
Boston
certified
Equity
applicant
and
a
certified
Massachusetts
Social
Equity
program
owned
business.
We
have
received
Boston
cannabis
board
approval
in
the
form
of
a
host
Community
agreement
for
a
retail
store
at
this
location
in
terms
of
the
operation.
Again,
it's
a
proposed
adult
use,
retail
store
located
at
1379
to
1385
Blue
Hill
Ave.
AN
The
location
includes
2
000
square
feet
of
retail
space
as
currently
zoned
for
commercial
use.
The
proposed
hours
of
operation
are
10
a.m,
9,
P
to
9
pm
Monday
through
Saturday,
and
then
10
a.m
to
6
p.m.
On
Sundays,
there
are
no
buffers
on
conflicts
with
schools
or
other
marijuana
establishments
at
this
location.
AN
Regarding
the
business
at
its
core
underground,
Legacy
is
a
social
justice.
Faith
focused
operation
and
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
use
our
platform
really
to
correct
the
socioeconomic
ills
that
face
this
community.
You
have
a
personal
relationship
with
this
community
that
runs
deep.
Our
CEO
and
general
manager,
Isaac
Hampton,
is
responsible
for
day-to-day
operations
is
a
longtime
resident
of
Mattapan.
He
grew
up
on
Rock
Hill
Street,
which
is
just
across
the
way
from
the
proposed
location
he's.
AN
Also
a
Massachusetts
Social
Equity
program
participant
John
Napoli
is
the
founder
and
owner
of
the
hampus
and
Back
Bay
and
the
Boston
Gardener
in
Nubian
Square.
He
also
possesses
a
licensed
cultivation
and
Manufacturing
facility
and
then
two
adult
adult
use,
retail
stores.
Also
in
Massachusetts
part
I
was
the
director
of
Outreach
of
the
director
of
Outreach
for
the
campaign
to
legalize
in
2016..
I
am
social
Equity
myself,
I
served
I
have
served
on
the
mass
cannabis
Advisory
board
at
the
pleasure
of
former
Governor
Baker,
since
2017.
AN
All
that
to
say
we
care
about
this,
this
area,
this
neighborhood
and
look
to
do
a
good
business
there
in
terms
of
the
site
plan.
So
again,
it
includes
2
000
square
feet
of
retail
space
that
is
zoned
for
commercial
use,
no
buffers
on
conflicts,
there's
one
single
floor
with
two
modes
of
egress
and
the
way
that
works
and
practices
customers
will
enter
through
the
front
door
into
the
vestibule
they'll
present
their
valid
government
issue.
Id
their
age
will
be
confirmed
as
21
years
or
older.
AN
They're
then
allowed
into
the
main
sales
floor
area
where
they
can
make
their
selections.
Their
ID
will
be
checked
again
at
the
point
of
sale.
The
customer
will
then
exit
the
store.
We
do
have
12
parking
spots
on
site,
none
of
which
are
for
designated
for
employee
use,
we'll
have
at
least
one
designated
for
differently.
Abled,
more
handicapped,
limited,
Mobility
individuals.
AN
We
have
we
plan
to
have
a
Workforce
of
about
20
employees
with
10
full-time
10
part-time
for
those
employees.
We
will
subsidize
travel
to
and
from
work
to
ensure
that
those
parking
spots
are
available
exclusively
for
customers
or
for
deliveries
relates
to
product
deliveries.
They're
going
to
pull
into
our
private
lot
that
is
controlled
exclusively
by
us.
AN
We
will
maintain
at
least
one
parking
spot.
Alongside
of
the
building
exclusively
for
those
vehicles
to
park-
and
there
will
be
a
single
point
of
entry
for
secure
delivery
to
the
Vault,
so
someone
will
come
in
from
the
company
making
a
delivery.
Our
agent
will
meet
them
at
the
door.
They
will
check
the
Manifest
make
sure
that
everything
is
in
order.
It
will
then
be
transported
again
into
the
Secure
Vault,
which
is
limited
access.
A
Well,
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
but
they're
more
related
to
your
proximity.
I
I
know
you
mentioned
you're,
not
within
buffer
zone
issues,
but
you
are
close
to
a
library
and
the
Mildred
Ave
K
to
eight
schools.
Do
you
want
to
just
when
you
get
to
that.
AN
Absolutely
let
me
just
pull
up
my
analysis.
I
have
here
so
we
are.
The
law
requires
that
we
be
not
within
500
feet
of
a
K-12
school
or
within
half
a
mile
of
another
marijuana
establishment.
We've
drawn
the
drawn
the
lot
lines
or
the
draw
measure,
the
distance
from
plot
line
to
plot
line,
and
there
is
no
conflict
with
any
of
those
required
any
of
those
entities.
AO
That
is
Kim.
If
you
want
me
to
do
that,
the
way
I
operate,
my
stores
now
and
I
think
works.
The
best
is
you.
We
have
one
entrance
into
the
security
vestibule
area
and
I
know
this.
Drawing
doesn't
show
too
into
the
store,
but
we
plan
on
having
two
yeah.
M
AO
AN
We
actually
do
have
two
modes
of
egress
as
you'll
see
on
this
photo.
There's
the
bottom
right
hand,
corner
that
says,
entry
and
the
left
that
says
loading.
Those
are
designations
to
be
made
as
representations.
However,
they
can
be
modified
to
change
the
egress
through
into
and
out
of
the
building
as
necessary.
So
at
this
time
we
had
only
intended
to
have
this
one
entryway,
but
we
have
made
it
a
point
to
make
a
consideration
as
to
whether
or
not
that
second
entrance
should
be
a
point.
E
E
AO
E
Sounds
good
and
then
this
question
is
for
Jeff
Hampton
as
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
cannabis
shops
populating
our
city
I'm,
noticing
that
the
public
realm
suffers
a
little
bit
because
you
have
a
lot
of
graphics
and
it
seems
like
a
bunker.
So
has
the
bpda
put
out
kind
of
a
position
in
terms
of
you
know,
you
typically
review
signage.
E
But
what
is
your
position
in
terms
and
I?
Don't
think
this?
You
know
this
project
has
set
back
from
the
sidewalk,
and
so
me
my
comment
is
more
General,
as
we
start
just
continuing
to
review
cannabis
establishments.
What
is
the
bpda's
position
in
terms
of
exterior
facade,
elevations
and
graphics
and
relative
to
the
public
Realm.
AD
AD
E
It
is
a
concern,
but
I
can.
Actually.
It
is
because
you
you,
you
know
there
is
security,
which
is
fine.
You
know
in
terms
of
the
neighbor,
the
neighborhood,
but
in
terms
of
you
know
in
in
this
case,
you're
taking
over
glazing,
you
know,
and
so
there's
always
this
idea-
that
you
can
experience
the
depth
of
a
store,
but
in
these
kind
of
establishment
you
can't
really
necessarily
see
because
of
security
reasons.
AE
E
Maybe
there
is
a
a
way
to
be
Innovative.
You
know
so
right
here
in
this.
In
this
design
you
have
some
checkerboard,
graphics
and
I
and
I
would
just
say
if
the
bpda
can
take
a
look
at
this.
Maybe
there
is
more
innovation,
more
of
a
contribution
to
the
public
realm
in
terms
of
artwork,
to
live
to
be
a
little
bit
more
bold,
so
that
that's
just
my
feedback.
E
AN
Absolutely
appreciate
that
comment,
that's
something
that
we
actually
have
focused
on
and
we
want
to
take
this
corner
and
a
lot
of
Corners.
You
know
speaking
about
Nubian
Square
in
particular,
which
is
not
this
neighborhood,
but
similar
in
the
sense
that
there's
a
lot
of
store
funds
that
could
be
revitalized
and
really
make
the
neighborhood
come
alive.
Yeah.
E
Yeah
the
artists:
this
is
an
additional
campus,
so
great
thanks.
AN
100
yeah,
we
do
have
strict
rules
that
we
have
to
follow
related
to
the
commission,
the
Canada
Patrol
commission.
You
can't
like,
as
you
said,
you
can't
see
into
the
store,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
you
can't
create
some
sort
of
enticing
facade
that
uplifts
neighborhood,
and
that
is
intent.
Absolutely
is
one
of
our
goals
with
this.
With
this
proposal.
AO
No
I
was
just
going
to
say:
the
state
won't
allow
us
to.
You
know,
have
Windows
that
you
could
see
and
it
won't
let
us
have
neon
signs
or
cartoon
characters.
So
there's
a
lot
of
regulations.
We
have
to
follow
from
the
state
of
Massachusetts,
but
we
we
are
very
interested
in
creating
a
space
that
is
appealing
to
the
neighborhood
and
to
our
customers.
AN
Yeah
so
I
think
I
was
going
into
Transportation.
We
have
had
a
traffic
study
done.
We
commissioned
Preston
O'neill
to
perform
this
and
to
assess
the
impact
the
underground
Legacy
would
have
on
the
community
I
believe
that
has
been
sent
along
to
you.
If
not,
we
can
send
it
over.
In
short,
the
study
found
that
there
is
no
impact.
AN
Mattapan
station
is
about
three
quarters
of
a
mile
away
with
probably
service
from
Ashmont
Station
is
available,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
the
12
off-site
parking
spots
and
then
there's
also
bike
racks
available
as
well
for
people
who
will
be
riding
their
bikes
and
then
at
present
there
are
two
Bike
Share
locations
with
a
walking
distance
of
the
site,
so
great
location
for
walk
by,
and
we
really
plan
to
push
up
that.
AN
You
know
not
relying
on
fuel
to
get
to
the
store
and
subsidizing
employees
Transportation
so
that
they
don't
have
to
so
they
have
easier
time.
Getting
there
and
that
they
don't
have
to
Park
on
site
either.
AN
AP
Okay,
so
in
terms
of
the
employment
plan,
80
of
our
our
employees
will
be
represented.
It
will
be
individuals
from
the
city
of
Boston,
with
a
particular
preference
being
given
to
Mattapan
residents
we've.
We
have
a
number
of
residents
we're
currently
working
with
that
have
expressed
interest
in
who
are
within
the
buffer
zone,
who
have
expressed
the
interest
in
working
at
the
store,
so
that
nothing
would
make
us
happier
than
to
be
able
to
employ
people
who
can
work
walk
to
work.
AP
Sixty
percent
of
our
staff
will
be
by
Park
50
of
our
staff.
We
have
a
strong
commitment
to
making
sure
that
50
of
our
staff
are.
Are
women
We've
committed
to
30
of
our
staff,
being
individuals
with
drug
convictions,
marijuana
convictions
or
individuals
who
are
formally
incarcerated,
as
well
as
25
of
our
staff
being
from
the
lgbtq
plus
population
as
well?
We
have
a
number
of
programs
that
we're
going
to
Institute
to
help
our
employees
as
well
as
the
surrounding
Community.
AP
One
more
worth
mentioning
is
a
minority
business
mentorship
program
that
will
provide
Technical
and
financial
assistance
to
individuals
who
want
to
start
a
business
in
Mattapan
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
before,
our
commitment
to
diversity,
gender
diversity.
We
are
making
sure
that
50
of
our
management
positions
are
occupied
by
women.
Go
to
the
next
slide.
AP
So
in
terms
of
our
our
compensation
and
benefits,
no
one
will
start
at
less
than
18.50
an
hour.
That's
the
the
lowest,
obviously
based
on
experience
could
be
higher.
Health
dental
and
vision
will
be
provided
to
everyone
along
with
paid
time
off
Kim
mentioned
earlier
that
we'll
be
doing
subsidized
Transportation
passes.
AP
We
also
have
a
number
of
other
programs,
Innovative
programs,
such
as
profit,
sharing
bonus
tables.
We
have
some
Partnerships
with
other
local
minority-owned
businesses.
We
consider
ourselves
the
health
and
wellness
business
as
well,
so
we've
provided
we're
going
to
provide
our
employees
with
some
opportunities
to
participate
in
some
things
like
gym,
memberships
and
nutritional
counseling
things
of
that
nature,
some
of
it
will
be
free.
Some
of
it
will
be
deeply
discounted
next
slide.
Please.
AP
And
so
we
have
three
main
components
to
our
positive
impact
plan,
the
first
being
the
formation
of
a
community
Advisory
Board,
which
will
be
made
up
of
seven
individuals
from
the
community.
We
will
meet
with
these
this
board
at
least
quarterly,
to
get
feedback
on
how
we're
doing
as
a
business,
but
one
of
the
main
sort
of
responsibilities
of
the
board
will
be
to
determine.
AP
Where
are
our
one
percent
annual
growth
profit
donation
goes
to
so
we're
committed
to
making
this
donation
and
perpetuity
as
long
as
we're
in
the
community,
we
will
make
this
donation
and
this
board
will
determine
what
cause
is
worthy
receiving
these
funds.
We
are
also
committed
to
doing
bi-monthly
cleanups
of
the
area.
AP
We
are
giving
a
residents
the
option
of
requesting
help
with
cleanup
of
their
property
spring
cleanups
fall.
Cleanup
cleanups
are
things
that
come
to
mind,
we're
going
to
give
a
deep
preference
to
elderly
residents,
as
they
may
not
have
anyone
to
assist
them,
and
so
we
will
be
in
touch
with
local
organizations
to
make
sure
that
this
information
gets
disseminated
as
well
as
just
flying
going
door-to-door
next
slide.
Please.
AP
One
of
the
the
issues
that
is
a
particular
interest
to
us
and
concern
to
us
has
to
do
specifically
with
women
and
the
maternal
mortality
rate
that
African-American
women
and
women
of
color
experience
at
the
hands
of
our
Health
Care
system,
and
so
in
order
to
make
our
contribution
to
combat
this
we're
implementing
a
program
that
offers
a
free,
Doula
or
Midwife

Semi-Annually
individuals
will
have
to
attend
a
clinic
that
will
put
on
will.
AP
They
will
receive
information
about
the
risk,
the
health
and
risk
factors
that
go
with
consuming
cannabis
when
you're
pregnant,
and
by
attending
this
seminar
you
can
you
become
eligible
to
utilize
the
services
of
a
doula
or
a
midwife,
and
we
have
we're
working
with
a
couple
of
doulas
right
now
to
implement
this
program,
and
this
this.
These
particular
Services
have
a
value
of
up
to
five
thousand
dollars
per
person.
AN
I'm
gonna
jump
in
Isaac
real
quick,
so
we
had
just
we're
on
the
side
about
community
outreach.
We
had
our
community
outreach
meeting
on
October
20th.
AN
AN
AN
Oh
okay,
so
let
me
just
step
back
and
say
part
of
the
this
support
that
we,
the
feedback
that
we
have,
that
is
meaningful
to
us.
We've
taken
that
and
we've
modified
our
proposal
and
our
business
operations
to
reflect
that.
AN
The
good
that
we're
trying
to
do
here
in
terms
of
the
business
is
for
the
benefit,
of
course,
for
our
benefit,
but
for
the
greater
benefit
of
the
community.
You've
seen
this
in
our
proposals
for
the
workforce,
Improvement
and
also
for
the
neighborhood,
with
an
eye
towards
making
the
neighborhood
more
aesthetically,
please
more
aesthetically
appealing,
and
we
also
through
this
operation.
We
have
a
security
plan
that
will
also
benefit
the
neighborhood
in
terms
of
providing
additional
eyes
additional
bodies,
additional
walk
by
and
traffic.
AN
There
is
more
detail
in
this
on
security
plan
if
you'd
like
to
review
that
we'd
be
happy
to,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
was
raised,
that
before
we
moved
on
to
the
next
section
of
this.
AN
AO
So
the
state
requirements
for
the
security
are
actually
quite
robust.
We
have
a
full
camera
coverage
in
the
interior.
Basically
anywhere
Canada's
can
go
has
to
have
camera
coverage.
There
is
also
exterior
camera
coverage,
as
Kim
just
mentioned
that
we'll
be
facing
outward
into
the
parking
lot
towards
the
street.
AO
AO
The
monitoring
company
as
well
will
be
notified.
The
customers
are
all
ID
before
entering
your
your
check
with
the
real
ID
scanner,
and
you
will
be
checked
twice
to
verify
your
age.
There
is
as
far
as
deliveries
go.
There
are
two
delivery
drivers.
We
have
to
receive
the
delivery
with
one
of
our
agents
with
one
of
the
delivery
drivers
and
one
of
the
delivery
drivers
will
stay
in
the
vehicle.
AO
We
have
a
bank
account,
we
will
also
be
accepting
debit
cards
and
I
recently
have
entered
into
an
agreement
at
one
of
my
other
stores
that
allows
me
to
take
credit
cards,
so
the
most
secure
thing
we
can
do
is
to
reduce
the
amount
of
cash
that
is
in
the
store
which
we
are
doing
and
regardless
we
will
be
bringing
cash
to
the
bank
every
other
day
to
minimize
any
risk
there,
and
that
goes
with
a
secure
security
company
where
there's
like
eagle
eyes
or
Plymouth
Plymouth
armor.
AO
AO
Yeah
so
there's
limited
air
access
areas,
so
the
the
CCC
requires
all
the
areas
to
be
signed
correctly
and
rooms
are
limited
to
employees.
Obviously,
customers
are
limited
to
the
sales
floor
and
there's
tiered
access,
even
amongst
the
employees.
So
not
all
employees
will
have
access
to
our
vault,
just
the
security
and
c-suite.
Maybe
some
directors
at
different
rooms
have
different
security
levels.
AO
The
Vault
as
well
as
everywhere
else,
is
under
24
hour
video
surveillance.
In
fact,
the
whole
store
is
under
24
hour,
video
surveillance
and
we,
like
I,
said
it's
stored
for
90
days.
AO
I,
guess
I'm
repeating
myself
a
little
bit
here
with
the
Panic
alarms,
but
the
the
security
is
something
that
the
state
looks
at
very
closely.
In
fact,
they
don't
look
at
anything
more
closely
than
the
security
in
the
stores
and
you
will
not
be
allowed
to
open
up
a
store
without
very
robust
compliance.
Security
in
place.
AN
There's
also
a
series
of
inspections
that
happen,
so,
in
addition
to
having
Regular
inspections
of
the
commission
will
announce,
they
also
have
unannounced
inspections
that
they
do
just
to
ensure
compliance
prior
to
opening.
AN
You
are
issued
a
provisional
license
as
the
first
one
that
you're
issued
if
you're
approved
there
is
a
post-provisional
license,
inspection
they
come
in
and
they
do
their
first
sweep.
You
then
have
another
inspection
after
you
have
your
final
license.
So
again,
even
though
they've
issued
you
a
final
license,
it
confirmed
that
your
policies
and
procedures
are
in
place
and
everything
is
ready
to
go.
AN
They
want
to
come
in
again
just
to
make
sure
that
you
really
truly
are
ready
to
go
if
at
any
point,
there
is
anything
out
of
line
with
the
regulations
and
those
regulations
include
compliance
with
local
zoning,
local
rules
and
regulations
as
well.
You
get
a
deficiency
notice,
you're
required
to
complete
that,
and
then
it's
checked
again
to
ensure
that
you
can
open.
AN
So
that
is
all
that
we
have
for
our
presentation
besides
community
outreach
and
support.
Thank.

O
Yes,
Mr

Madam

members
of
the

attorney
Ryan
Spence,
with
Adams
and
morency
business
address
of
168
8th
Street
first
floor
South
Boston
joining
me
today
is
Chris
Drew
from
686
Architects.
This
is
a
proposal
to
change
the
occupancy
from
a
two-family
dwelling
to
a
three
family
dwelling
by
renovating
the
existing
structure
and
building
out
the
existing
third
floor
with
the
manside
roof,
along
with
a
rare
addition
to
all
three
floors.
O
There'll
be
three
off
street
parking
spaces
located
in
the
rear
of
the
property
accessed
by
an
existing
easement
that
existing
easement
will
be
extended
to
allow
for
these
tree
parking
spaces
in
the
rear
project
will
also
include
updating
life
safety.
With
installing
a
sprinkler
system
in
the
building
we
are
located
within
a
2f
5000
sub-district.
The
lot
size
is
approximately
4512
square
feet.
Unit.
One
layout
will
be
approximately
2054
square.
Feet
will
consist
of
a
three
bedroom.
O
On
the
first
floor,
an
additional
living
space
in
the
bit
in
the
bed
in
the
basement.
There
will
be
no
bedrooms
located
in
the
basement.
Unit
2
will
be
approximately
1320
square.
Feet
will
consist
of
another
three
bedroom
on
the
second
floor.
Units
free
will
be
located
on
the
third
floor
at
approximately
thirteen
hundred
and
fifty
two
square
feet,
and
that
will
also
be
another
three
bedroom.
We
have
violations
for
the
use,
as
we
are
in
a
2f
5000
sub
District.
O
O
What
is
compliant
here
is
35
feet
and
two
and
a
half
stories
we're
proposing
40
feet
in
three
stories,
in
fact,
from
the
existing
dwelling,
as
you
can
see
from
the
drawings
we're
decreasing
the
actual
roof
line
from
the
ridge
by
approximately
two
feet,
three
inches
by
eliminating
that
Ridge
and
going
with
the
manside
roof
Style.
O
We
also
have
our
street
parking
and
loading
requirements.
As
you
can
see,
we
are
providing
three
off-stream
producting
spaces
as
required.
We
did
have
discussions
with
Bob
D'amico
from
the
transportation
department
and
one
thing
that
he
did
recommend
which
we
did
including
these
drawings
for
the
parking
area
to
the
sidewalk
by
approximately
four
feet
and
then
also
indicating
the
dimensions
on
the
on
the
drawings.
O
The
drawings
were
added
in
there
they're
nine
feet
wide
by
20
feet
long
and
then
also
we
have
one
other
violation
on
this
property,
which
we
believe
was
in
ER
is
the
rear
yard
violation.
As
you
can
see,
the
the
plans
are
showing
a
setback
at
41.8
feet
to
the
deck
and
approximately
50
feet
to
the
dwelling
and
again
what's
compliant
here
was
30
feet.
So
we
believe
that
violation
was
in
error
and
at
this
point,
I'm
going
to
pause
for
any
questions,
comments
or
concerns.
A
A
O
Madam
chair,
if
you
want
me
to
relay
again
so
we
did
have
a
preliminary
conversation
with
the
transportation
department
and
Mr
D'amico's
recommendation
was
to
from
the
original
parking
scheme
was
to
pull
the
parking
area
closer
to
the
sidewalk
by
four
feet
in
which
we
did
incorporate
those
changes
into
the
plants.
A
E

Good
morning
Madam

my
name

Ross
Cochran,
with

the
applicant
has
completed
their
Community
process.
Our
office
held
in
a
voters
meeting
in
November
of
last
year
in
the
abutters
and
community
support
this
project,
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
Judgment
at
this
time.

you
good.

up

Can
you

yourself
state
your
name
and
address.
A
AR
Morning,
Madam
chair,
my
name
is
I'm
the
architect
and
owner
rep
for
the
project,
a
new
construction
at
34,
Abbott,
Street,
Boston
MA.
If
I
can
I
go
ahead
with
the
presentation
now.
Oh
yes,
please,
this!
The
project
is
the
construction
of
a
new
three
family
triple
deck
correct,
awakened
lot.
34
Abbott
first
floor
unit
is
a
two
bedroom
one
bath
group,
one
adaptable
which
Mass
barrier
521
CMR
requirement.
AR
AR
If
you
go
to
the
page,
one
I
have
a
table
there,
comparing
the
two
the
required
flow
Radia
ratio
is
0.8.
While
the
proposed
is
1.05.
AR
The
second
one
is
a
side
yard
setback
which
is
required.
Ten
and
five
on
the
left
side
of
the
property.
The
large
is
3600
and
I
think
3280
square
feet
in
a
3F
500,
so
I'm
complying
there
and
then
the
own.
The
the
last
violation
was
on
the
rear
yard,
but
I
was
curious
because
it
still
meets
the
30
feet
requirement
based
on
the
plans
as
well
there's
an
open
deck
in
the
back
which
I
think
stimulus
compliant.
AR
So
those
are
the
four
variances
or
sorry
denials
violations
that
has
been
quoted,
the
front
yard.
Also,
however,
the
front
yard
matches
the
neighborhood
facades
from
the
setback.
AR
We
attended
the
neighborhood
meeting
and
had
recommendations
made
on
providing
impervious
surfaces,
so
we
did
that
on
the
driveway
and
then
there
was
one
more
recommendation
made
was
to
add
fire
extinguisher
cabinets
on
the
rear,
balconies
on
all
three
floors
that
was
done
and
then
planting
smooth
planting
on
the
side
of
the
building
in
order
to
avoid
runoff
and
capture
as
much
rain
water
within
the
site
as
much
as
possible,
and
that's
pretty
much
what
I
have
here
there's
some
views
that
I
sent
over
if
you
want
to
see
The,
View
and
the
drawings
are
here.
AR
V
Oh
yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
caller
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office,
Neighborhood
Services,
Scott
and
Marisol
sticks
to
defer
to
the
judge
from
this
board
our
office
held
in
a
meeting
where
no
concerns
were
expressed
from
what
I
understand
the
applicant
then
went
on
to
meet
with
the
Talbot
Harvard
triangle
community
group,
which
opted
to
support
this
proposal.
AA
V
D
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
from
the
office
of
council
Brown
Morrell
in
regards
to
34
Abbott
Street
haven't
received
no
letters
of
opposition
or
support
from
either
the
butters
or
the
direct
Civic
tablet
Harvard
triangle.
The
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support
the
project.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
G
G
A
F
J
Yes,
yes,
hi,
my
name
is
Karen
wheeler.
This
is
Marianne
koplowski.
We
live
here
at
78,
child
Street
in
Jamaica,
Plain,
I,
believe
our
architect.
Thomas
Rose
is
also
on
to
answer
any
questions
that
we
can't
answer,
but
we
believe
that
our
home
for
30
years
now-
and
we
want
to
stay
here-
we're
both
retired
seniors,
but
in
order
to
keep
on
living
here,
we
need
an
accessible
bathroom
on
the
first
floor.
J
So
our
proposal
is
to
enclose
our
deck
where
the
deck
is
now
similar
to
the
way
our
abutting
neighbors
have
at
either
end
of
these
row
houses
to
put
in
that
bathroom
and
a
little
sun
room
to
go
with
it.
It
will
go
where
the
deck
currently
is
now
there's
a
picture
of
the
deck,
with
the
expanded
a
little
bit
to
the
right
to
to
that
property
limit
yeah.
J
You
know
we
just
want
to
enclose
it
and
use
it
for
our
first
floor
bathrooms
so
that
we
can
stay
here.
Thank
you.
May.
A
I
ask
a
quick
question:
one
of
your
Butters
commented
about
the
wall,
your
the
wall,
that
you
share,
being
I,
guess
not
very
sound
proof
and
just
asked
what
your
commitment
to
creating
a
new
wall,
a
better
stronger.
You
know
like
a
soundproof
wall
as
part
of
your
plan.
Can
you
adjust
that
absolutely.
J
Mary's,
a
good
neighbor
and
we've
been
neighbors
for
years
and
talk
about
things
like
this
all
the
time
and
our
architect
and
contractor
are
aware
of
this
and
are
totally
committed,
and,
as
are
we
to
making
that
bathroom
as
soundproof
as
possible.
Thank.

Good
morning,

Tiffany
Caballero
here
from

Neighborhood

as
well
sorry
in
a
Butters
meeting,
was
facilitated
back

July
6

where
the
voters
and
other
residents
were
given
the
opportunity
to
raise
any
questions

concerns
to
the
applicant

team.
At
this
time,
I
do
not
have
any

opposition.
In
fact,
I
do
have
one
of
support
from
the
Jamaica
Plain
neighborhood
Council
that
they
acquired
throughout
their
committee
process.
Additionally,
the

would
like
to
defer

and.
AT
Thank
you.
Okay
for
an
address
of
112
Water
Street
in
Boston
with
me,
is
Jeff
Kim
of
Perkins
and
Mill
Architects
and
Nick
casaro
for
the
developer.
Bentyl
Green
Oak
next
slide.
Please
again.
AT
That's:
okay:
it's
not
the
not
the
PowerPoint,
but
from
the
lot
to
orient
everyone.
This
is
in
the
four-point
channel.
It's
mid
block
on
Farnsworth
Street,
which
surprisingly,
is
still
a
private
Street.
That's
on
the
left
of
the
drawing
there's
a
private
alley
way
on
the
back,
so
there
is
actually
no
legal
access,
but
it
did
go
through
large
project
review
as
if
it
were
a
public
street.
AT
It's
an
M4,
restricted
manufacturing
District,
but
it's
also
an
overlay
with
restricted
parking,
flood,
Hazard,
Coastal
flood
resilience
and
groundwater,
so
we'll
need
a
conditional
use
on
it
for
the
groundwater.
At
present,
there's
a
parking
garage,
an
open
wall
parking
garage
built
in
1986..
It's
about
60
feet
high,
which
is
commensurate
with
the
embutters
and
has
an
elevator
penthouse
back
in
86.
They
needed
variances.
If
we
go
down
to
the
next
slide,
please
get
a
photograph
they
needed
variances
for
the
garage
it
had.
An
far
has
an
far
of
six.
AT
AT
So
the
existing
garage
which
has
389
spaces
would
be
eliminated.
There
would
be
no
on-site
parking
at
all.
There
isn't
any
limit
on
height
in
this
neighborhood,
but
there
is,
as
I
said,
the
4.0
far
limit
and
this
will
comply.
We
don't
need
an
additional
use
for
parking
because
none
is
proposed.
AT
We
do
need
a
variance
for
parapet
setback
again,
just
as
historically
and
the
rear
yard
will
be
about
five
feet
on
that
service
alley
and
then
finally,
we
do
have
no
harm
letter
on
file
and
approval
by
bwsc,
for
our
infiltration,
I
think
for
the
other
details,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Jeff
Camp.
Next

to

Is
the

then
the

is

we
have

as
well
as
possibly
retail

just
to
reflect
on
the
on
the
surrounding
buildings,
of
the
turn
of
the
central

We
are
proposing
a
dark

a

facade
with
a

opening
glass
in

place,
the
opening
glass
on

When
we
talked

AT
AT
First,
through
large
project
review,
there
will
only
be
BSL
one
and
two
at
this
location.
The
higher
ratings
for
biochemical
materials
will
not
be
allowed,
so
three
and
four
are
not
allowed,
but
also
because
it's
a
flood
plain
there
has
to
be
containment.
There
will
be
licensing
with
the
fire
department,
a
Boston
fire
department,
which
is
standard
to
make
sure
that
if
there
were
a
spill
and
there'd
be
on
the
upper
floors,
that
would
be
contained
within
the
building.
B
AT
Oh,
it
goes
up
a
bit.
This
is
in
the
coastal
resilience,
so
actually
we're
required
to
go
up
another
two
feet.
The
I
think
the
net
change.
Is
that
seven
feet.
So
the
current
parapet
line
is
60
feet
of
the
garage.
It
will
now
be
67
feet.
The
penthouse
goes
up
another
20
feet,
but
it's
set
back
and
four
point
channel
has
to
review
that
to
make
sure
it's
not
visible
from
the
public
ways,
we've
been
through
them
on
advisory,
but
we're
going
to
go
back
for
a
formal
approval
in
about
a
week.
AT
Yes,
well,
the
it's
a
private
parking
garage
now,
as
you
know,
389,
but
there
will
be
no
parking
to
replace
it.
Now.
That's
was
thought
to
be
actually
a
benefit
that
there's
very
large
curb
cuts
on
Farnsworth,
which
will
be
eliminated.
AT
AT
That
that
also
is
a
focus
during
large
project
review.
There
are
three
trees,
I
believe
now
in
front
of
the
building
which
are
on
Farnsworth
mature,
not
in
great
shape,
I
think
we're
gonna
end
up
with
four
and
there'll
be
healthier
species
we'll
work
both
with
bpda
landscape
architect
and
the
parts
commission
to
make
sure
it's
the
right
species,
so
they
they
will
be
replaced.
Four
for
three.
AU
Yes
still,
it
would
be
about
18
months
from
when
we
decide
to
close
the
parking
garage
with
ample
notice
to
the
neighborhood
and
subsequent
businesses,
obviously
going
through
the
iterate
the
the
process.
Here,
none
of
that
announcement
has
happened.
So
we
have
agreed
through
the
bpda
process
that
we
will
give
on
the
neighborhood
at
least
four
to
six
weeks
of
notice.
Before
the
parking
garage
is
closed
and
then
from
there
it
will
be
approximately
18
to
20
months.
AU
And
yes,
there
is
a
general
contractor
selected
for
this
project,
which
is
Structure
Tone
here
in
Boston.

AV
Thank
you,
madam

The
thief,
the
Board
of
Trustees
applied
to
ISD
in
order
to
amend
its
certificate
of
occupancy
in
order
to
increase
the
permitted
number
of
residential
dwellings
in
the
building
from
16
units
to
21
units,
specifically,
the
Board
of
Trustees,
is
seeking
to
include
the
five
units
located
in
the
Condominiums
basement
to
the
certificate
of
occupancy.
However,
in
order
to
do
so,
the
condominium
trust
requires
the
issuance
of
three
variances
from
the
Portage
from
the
zoning
board
of
appeals.
AV
Now
the
economy
and
Trust
satisfies
the
requirements
necessary
for
the
issue
of
the
variants,
because
the
five
units
that
the
condominium
trust
is
seeking
to
add
to
its
certificate
of
occupancy
are
pre-existing
units
located
in
the
Condominiums
basement
and
because
those
basement
units
are
pre-existing.
No
construction
whatsoever
needs
to
be
undertaken
in
order
for
those
units
to
be
used
and
occupied.
AV
Specifically,
the
building
was
constructed
in
1872
and
how
residential
apartments
on
each
floor
of
the
building,
but,
more
importantly,
since
1872,
those
basement
of
the
building
has
been
continuously
historically
utilized
by
the
condominium
staff,
which
would
include
building
superintendents
as
well
as
maintenance
Personnel.
In
fact,
the
condominium
trusts
concierge
staff
currently
occupies
those
units.
Today
in
1973,
the
building
was
converted
into
a
condominium
by
a
master
deed
and
at
the
time
that
the
condominium
was
converted,
the
building
housed
21
units,
which
included
those
five
units
located
in
the
basement.
AV
Additionally,
unlike
other
applications
where
the
applicant
is
seeking
to
add
dwelling
units
to
an
existing
Residential
Building
again,
no
construction
whatsoever
needs
to
be
undertaken,
Condominiums
basement
and
that's
simply
because
these
units
already
exist
and
in
all
work
that
needed
to
be
performed
in
order
to
preserve
the
health
and
safety
of
not
only
the
building
occupants.
But
the
surrounding
buildings,
as
well,
has
already
been
undertaken.
The
Board
of
Trustees
undertook
and
engage
a
contractor
to
upgrade
fire
safety
equipment
located
in
those
five
basement
units.
AV
All
work
has
been
inspected
and
approved
by
ISD
and
for
that
reason,
there's
there's
no
impact
in
construction,
debris
or
noise
that
could
impact
the
avoiding
properties
nor
any
construction
vehicles,
be
congested,
the
streets
or
diminishing.
What
available
street
parking
there
could
be
on
Commonwealth,
Ave
and
additionally,
because
all
the
work
has
been
performed
in
the
unit
itself.
The
the
historic
characteristic
of
this
neighborhood
is
not
going
to
be
impacted
in
any
manner
whatsoever.
AV
There's
not
going
to
be
any
exterior
renovations
to
the
building,
then,
that's
simply
because
these
units
have
existed
since
1872
and
therefore
because
those
units
are
already
constructed
and
that
they've
been
continuously
used
and
historically
occupied
by
the
building
staff.
The
condominium
trust
through
its
applications,
simply
correcting
an
oversight
that
was
omitted
when
it
originally
applied
for
its
certificate
of
occupancy,
and
for
those
reasons
we
would
request
that
those
on
the
board
of
appeals
approve
the
condominium,
trust
application
and
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
board
may
have.

This
is
an
appeal
to
change
the
use
and
occupancy
of
the
existing
restaurant
to
include
use
item
38
to
allow
live,
entertainment
operating
after
10
30
pm
at
the
restaurant,
which
requires
a
conditional
use
permit
at
the
site.
This
is
an
existing
restaurant
with
a
liquor
license
and
non-live
entertainment,
license,
inclusive
background
music,
TVs
and
a
jukebox,
and
the
property
currently
has
a
certificate
of
use
and
occupancy
just
for
the
restaurant
use
itself.
AW
Previously,
the
restaurant
has
been
pulling
one-day
licenses
from
the
city
when
they
wish
to
have
DJ
nights
or
karaoke
nights
at
the
restaurant,
and
this
is,
in
effect,
a
request
to
update
the
property
so
that
they
can
have
a
license
on
an
annual
basis,
so
they
don't
have
to
keep
going
back
to
the
city
anytime.
They
have
live
entertainment
going
on
at
the
restaurant.
AW
That
being
said,
it
will,
you
know,
remain
a
full-service
restaurant,
it's
not
by
any
means
looking
to
become
a
nightclub
or
anything
like
that
in
terms
of
community
outreach
are
coming
to

as
well
as

If

there
Madam

That
would
be
a
good
place
to
start
so
Madam
chair
members
of
the

This
is
a
pre-existing
residential
structure
that
we
are
proposing
to
replace
with
a
new
six
unit,
residential
dwelling.
Just
by
way
of
surrounding
context.
AX
This
is
the
last
Street
in
East
Boston
closest
to
the
Suffolk
bounds.
T
Station,
the
site
is
actually
just
under
500
feet:
walking
distance
to
Southern
bounds,
t
station
and
certainly
presents
a
good
opportunity,
not
unlike
some
other
recent
projects
that
we
have
approved
in
the
neighborhood
for
a
bit
more
dense
density,
close
closest
to
public
transit,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
screen
immediately
through
our
left
just
for
context,
is
sort
of
a
transitional
site.
I.
AX
Apartment
building
across
the
street
across
the
world
of
I
have
heading
down
Wally
towards
Suffolk.
Down
Steve
station
are
additional
larger
multi-family
buildings
as
you
get
closer
to
Suffolk
Downs
train
station.
If
we
want
to
jump
to
the
next
two
slides,
that
will
probably
give
us
a
little
more
idea
of
what
we're
coming
out.
That's
a
good
place
to
stop
so,
as
you
can
see
in
that
first
photo.
Our
building
is
here
the
white
two
and
a
half
story.
AX
Building
with
the
driveway,
the
Residential
Building
to
our
left,
the
other
multi-family
a
little
bit
off
in
the
distance.
You
can
see
there
and
then
the
newly
constructed
19
Wally
streams
and
30
inter
presidential
building,
is
located
directly
on
the
MBTA
right-of-way.
That's
how
close
the
train
station
is
located,
so
we
can
jump
down
a
few
more
slides.
I
can
show
you
the
rendering
of
what
we're
proposing.
AX
Maybe
one
more
slide
is
a
little
bit
different
perspective,
and
one
more
gives
us
probably
a
head-on
view
perfect.
So
our
proposal
would
involve
a
six
unit.
Residential
Building,
the
slope
from
the
Walden.
Our
app
does
slope
upwards
towards
the
back
of
this
property.
The
six
residential
units
would
also
have
six
garage
parking
spaces
that
we
enter
on
the
right
side
of
the
building.
We
would
also
be
able
to
accommodate
trash
recycling
Etc
all
of
the
lower
level.
AX
Each
of
those
floors
would
contain
two
units,
the
average
square
foot
size
of
these
units
about
1230
square
feet,
so
these
are
all
generously
two
bedroom
plus
size
units.
We
certainly
could
consider
looking
at
adjusting
these
to
even
include
three
bedroom
size
units,
but
one
of
the
things
I
do
want
to
point
out
is
that
this
project
actually
started
a
bit
larger
than
what
was
what's
currently
before
the
board,
and
we
did
receive
a
lot
of
opposition
from
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
not
the
least
of
which
comes
from
some
of
the
ongoing
planning.
AX
That's
happening
in
East
Boston
I
do
want
to
point
out
to
the
board
that
we've
submitted
I
believe
30
letters
of
support.
Many
of
those
were
people
that
were
originally
opposed
to
this
project.
My
client
had
gone
and
worked
directly
with
his
abutters
24
of
those
30
letters
that
are
submitted
from
director
butters
on
this
project
and
specifically
because
we've
addressed
a
number
of
their
concerns,
including
reducing
the
size
of
the
building,
the
overall
density
in
some
of
the
setbacks,
as
well
with
respect
to
the
floor
plan
layout.
AX
If
we
can
jump
down
to
number
nine
slide,
nine,
please
that
would
be
helpful
right
here.
It's
a
good
place
to
stop
so,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
left
hand
side
we
have
our
garage
with
the
single
entrance
and
the
six
parking
spaces,
as
well
as
the
entryway,
as
well
as
the
storage
for
trash
Etc
and
Mechanicals.
As
I
said,
each
level
has
two
two
bedroom
units
on
it
front
to
back
with
some
relatively
smaller
rear
decks
off
of
the
back.
We
do
have
some
patio
space
at
the
lower
lower
portion
as
well.
AX
In
addition,
you
can
see
the
retaining
wall
that's
being
proposed
in
the
second
from
left
side
slide.
This,
as
I
said,
does
slope
up
dramatically
towards
the
street
behind
us
and
although
we
do
have
about
25
feet
to
our
rear
yard
property
line,
the
usable
area
is
a
little
bit
more
limited.
Based
upon
based
upon
the
the
slope
of
the
site,
we
do
propose
to
add
a
substantial
Landscaping
behind
that
retaining
wall,
and
that
was
something
again
that
was
requested
by
director
Butters.
AX
You
can
see
that
the
units
essentially
repeat
themselves,
as
you
go
up
to
the
top
level
with
units
six
and
seven.
Those
should
be
Mark,
six
and
I'm.
Sorry,
five
and
six,
not
seven
and
nine.
So
a
total
of
six
units
total.
AX
We
also
propose
private
roof
decks
for
the
upper
level
units,
so
units
five
and
six
would
have
access
from
their
unit
up
to
a
root
deck.
We
are
proposing
not
to
incorporate
a
head
house
on
this.
These
would
be
accessed
by
hatch
only
so
it
does
obviously
help
to
lower
the
profile
of
the
building,
and
once
again,
this
was
something
that
we
worked
on
very
closely
with
comments
that
we
heard
from
directive
others
and
changes
that
they
would
like
to
see
in
this
project.
I
can
jump
down
to
the
next
I
believe.
AX
The
next
plan
is
the
elevations,
perfect
and
I
can
stop
here
and
run
through
the
relief
that
would
be
necessary.
So,
as
I
said,
this
is
sort
of
a
transitional
site
where
the
next
site
over
to
our
left
is
a
multi-family
apartment
building
and
then
the
next
zoning
District
beyond
that
site
is
the
economic
development
area
which
allows
for
some
very
flexible
zoning
regulations.
We're
certainly
divided.
AX
Zone,
which
is
where
the
sun
is
currently
located
and
does
require
a
number
of
variances
in
order
for
this
project
to
proceed.
But
again
we
feel
that
we've
worked
very
closely
with
our
directive
Butters
in
light
of
concerns
over
planning,
and
we
will,
you
know,
certainly
continue
to
work
with
them,
so
the
first
variance
that
we
would
require
is
because
this
is
a
multi-family
use
again,
not
something
that
is
new
to
this
immediate
area
world
that
I
have.
We
do
request
the
variance
for
that.
We
do
meet
them
at
on
lot
size.
AX
We
actually
exceed
them
in
lot
size
in
this
District.
The
minimum
is
4
000
we're
about
4750
square
feet.
We
do
the
same
when
it
comes
to
lot
width
and
the
lot
Frontage.
The
site
itself
is
50
feet.
We
are
actually
only
required
to
have
40
and
therefore
be
in
compliance
from
the
side
yard.
There's
already
some
pre-existing
non-conformities
with
College
building,
because.
AX
AX
Allow
us
to
incorporate
windows
on
both
sides
of
the
buildings
as
well,
so
we
do
request
the
variance
for
that
difference.
For
the
side
here
and
setback,
the
front
yard
will
be
a
mobile
setback.
We
feel
that
through
design
review,
assuming
this
is
approved,
that
would
be
in
compliance
with
article
53
and
the
exceptions
that
allow
for
a
modal
setback.
I
really
are,
as
I
mentioned
is
sloped.
We
do
set
back
a
25
and
a
half
beat
from
the
rear
property
line.
The
minimum
requirement
in
the
district
is
sporting.
AX
However,
this
is
a
shallow,
lock
condition,
so
we
are
able
to
reduce
our
rehab
requirement
by
some
by
a
few
feet
because
of
the
because
of
that
shallow
condition.
Again.
This
was
something
that
was
discussed
with
the
community.
The
building
was
further
back
when
originally
proposed,
and
we
feel
that
there
was
a
definitely
a
good
amount
of
support
for
bringing
this
building
back
to
the
25
and
a
half
foot
setback
and
incorporating
a
good
amount
of
landscaping
in
the
back.
AX
That
area
that's
pretty
consistent
with
that
density,
but
we
do
require
variances
that
exceeds
what's
required
on
our
article
53.,
the
height
of
our
building.
As
you
can
see,
this
is
a
good
area
to
look
at
the
section
of
the
of
the
building
because
of
slight
this.
The
site
does
slow
down
the
height
of
our
building
in
the
back
is
actually
about
31
or
32
feet,
while
the
the
height
of
the
building
towards
the
front,
that's
looking
at
it
from
Waldron
Ave
is
total
of
41
feet.
The
maximum
height
that
is
permitted
currently
is
35.
AX
However,
we
are
in
line
with
the
building
to
our
left,
which
is
the
existing
wealthy
family.
There
is
no
open
space
requirement
when
you're
proposing
any
other
use
in
this
District.
That
requires
a
variance.
However,
we
do
incorporate
a
little
over
2
000
square
feet,
total
of
open
space
or
uncovered
ground
based
upon
the
footprint
of
our
building
and,
last
but
not
least,
with
respect
to
parking.
The
calculation
for
this
site
would
be
eight
parking
spaces
total
under
the
zoning
code.
AX
However,
six
spaces
of,
what's
being
proposed,
one
space
would
be
assigned
per
unit
based
upon
this
being
a
proposed
condominium,
a
homeownership
opportunity.
Again,
we
are
less
than
500
feet
from
the
entrance
to
Southern
town
of
sea
station.
We
believe
this
site
presents
an
excellent
opportunity
for
a
bit
of
increased
density
with
with
less
parking.
However,
it
was
a
major
concern
for
the
community
to
ensure
that
we
did
incorporate
off
street
parking,
so
we
maintain
the
garage
at
the
lower
level.
AX
A
You
are
there,
questions
from
the
board.
E
Yes,
in
regards
to
the
front
elevation,
is
that
a
green
screen
that
I'm,
seeing
on
the
on
the
first
level.
AX
I
believe
Phil
SEMA
is
our
architect
should
be
here
Phil.
Could
you
address
Miss
veterans
comments?
Please.
AM
Yes,
that's
the
intent
it's.
It
would
be
a
metal
trellis
that
landscape
in
the
front
yard
could
grow
on
not
to
kind
of
keep
with
the
symmetry
of
that
that
vertical
Bay
language,
but
just
landscaped.
F
A
question
one
question:
if
you
don't
mind
rentals
or
these
hormone
issues,.
AX
Thank
you
for
the
chair.
These
are
intended
for
home
ownership
again
in
the
community,
at
least
the
direct
advisors
that
we
spoke
to.
That
was
also
a
pretty
important
issue
for
them,
confirming
that
this
would
be
a
Home.
Ownership
was
something
that
was
important
for
their
support
and
certainly
turning
some
of
the
neighbors
who
originally
opposed
to
this
into
support.
AX
E
F
We
do
have
a
number
of
letters
of
support
and
I'm
looking
at
I
believe
15
to
20.
AX
The
chair,
Mr
Verizon
I,
would
point
out.
We
were
very
specific
based
upon
the
community
process
to
identify
direct
the
butters
who
were
most
impacted
by
this
project.
We
again,
we
fully
understand
the
concerns
in
the
orient
Heights
neighborhood.
We
believe
you
know
looking
at
these
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
At
this
time
until
New
zoning
is
approved
is
important
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
work
very
closely
with
so
many
direct
dividers
I'm,
trying
to
address
their
specific
comments
and
concerns.
So.
A
I'm
going
to
ask
Mr
Stembridge
not
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
we'll
go
through
other
questions
and
testimony,
but
if
you
could
take
a
few
minutes
just
to
look
at
those
letters
of
support
to
Mr
Lynn's
Point
are
those
do
those
appear
to
be
a
Butters
with
you
know,
waldemore
waldemar,
or
you
know
close
addresses
with
that,
will
will
continue
asking
questions
and
give
you
a
chance
to
look
at
that.
Excuse.
A
He
cannot
because
he's
no
longer
with
us.
AX
Through
the
chair,
Miss
panado,
I
I
did
reach
out
to,
as
I
normally
do
with
my
cases
to
understand
from
Jeff
what
the
concern
I
do
know.
The
comments
were
to
deny
I
do
believe
that
the
bpda
does
look
at
this
from
the
original
plan.
They
don't
look
at
any
additional
modifications.
This
was
proposed
originally
as
nine
units
with
a
much
larger
footprint
and
again
through
the
community
process.
We
did
update
this
plan
to
reduce
it
down
to
six
and
reduce
the
footprint
of
the
building.
A
I
will
just
comment:
Mr
Linds,
that
his
recommendation
appears
to
be
based
on
your
current
proposal
of
six
months.
Yeah.
AX
So
I
the
setback
from
our
property
line
on
the
right
hand,
side
is
four
feet.
I
believe
we
do
have
our
site
plan
at
slide,
13,
which
we've
won
before
this.
AX
Yes
and
I
believe
my
client
Mr
Carter,
who
did
most
of
the
community
outreach,
is
on
the
call
Gary
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
can
share
what
the
initial
concerns
were
and
what
we've
done
to
address
those
concerns.
AX
L
Yeah
hi
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Gary
Carter
I'm,
the
proponent.
We
work
very
closely
with
the
neighborhood
we
actually
Shrunk
the
size
of
the
building
moved
the
building
forward.
So
we
get
a
25
foot,
rear
yard
setback
that
was
important
to
our
neighbors.
We
removed
the
front
decks
and
replaced
those
with.
There
was
a
concern
that
would
infringe
upon
some
of
the
privacy
of
my
neighbor's
yards.
L
Additionally,
we
put
privacy
screens
on
the
back
of
it
on
the
back
decks
to
control
the
sight
line
tools,
the
rear
of
the
eye.
We
started
looking
into
our
neighbor's
yards,
and
so
can
you
talk
need
some
of
the
additional
things
we
did.
AM
Yeah
yeah,
we
I
mean
we.
We
pushed
over
the
building
towards
what
you're
seeing
to
the
left.
We
made
sure
that
the
roof
deck
railings
were
pushed
in.
To
avoid
all
lines
of
sight,
we
created
some
privacy
on
the
rear
balconies
so
that
you
wouldn't
have
direct
lines
of
sight
between
the
neighbors
and
then
minimize
window
openings
on
the
side
yards
to
avoid
direct
lines
of
sight.
G
L
Oh
so
so
my
direct
about
it
to
the
right,
we
actually
Shrunk
the
building
and
we
moved
it
over
an
additional
foot.
So
now
we
have
10
feet
between
the
two
buildings.
G
A
Is
that
124
of
Baltimore?
It
is
yes,
so
we
do
have
that
letter
of
support
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
W
And

most
of

They
also
mentioned
the

Our
office
received
five
letters

30.
Letters
in
support
and
I
also
wanted
to
mention
Madam

that
out
of
the
30

since
you

were
asking

just

AY
Okay
hi,
my
name
is
Sean
Calista
I
own
at
eight
mamaransi
Avenue
and
lives
at
that
property.
I'm.
Also,
a
board
member
of
the
Orient
Heights
neighbors
Association
neighborhood
Council.
So
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
and
say
that
one
that
the
association,
the
neighborhood
council
did
vote
against
this,
and
we
strongly
want
to
protect
our
single-family
homes.
The
residents
of
Oregon
Heights
have
been
drastically
fighting
the
zoning
changes
in
our
neighborhood
to
try
to
preserve
our
single
families
within
Oregon,
Heights
and
I'd.
AY
AZ
We
fully
support
this
project
as
it
is,
the
value
adds
to
the
community.
It's
value
adds
in
the
neighborhood
and
while
the
Warrior's
Community
as
a
whole
wants
to
protect
the
single
families
that
seems
to
be
on
the
top
of
the
hill.
This
is
on
the
very
bottom
of
the
hill,
which
is
the
main
street
already
populated
with
multi-families.
This
will
give
the
neighborhood
a
much
needed
facelift
and
so
before
they
support
this
product.
H
We'll
go
to
the
Sean
Cronin.
BA
Good
afternoon
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Sean.
Cronin
I
live
at
108
waldemar
at
the
bottom
of
the
hill.
I
would
like
to
speak
in
opposition
of
this
proposed
project.
It's
based
on
the
code,
I
believe
would
be
improper
and
unlawful
for
the
zba
to
grab
relief
as
proposed
or
in
Heights,
and
specifically
waldemar
Ave
is
made
up
predominantly
of
one
F
and
2f
housing.
The
petitioners
focused
on
a
few
multi-family
units
during
their
presentations,
but
these
are
very
much
the
exception
and
not
the
predominant
makeup
of
waldemar
Ave.
BA
A
lot
here
has
no
unique
or
peculiar
circumstances
that
would
deprive
its
use
as
a
1f
or
the
current
zoning
code.
The
petitioners
failed
to
demonstrate
any
substantial
hardship.
In
this
case
the
home
was
purchased
as
a
1f,
with
the
sole
purpose
of
over
developing
over
the
existing
code
to
maximize
profits
for
the
developer.
This
project
exceeds
the
code
in
multiple
areas
and
is
not
the
minimum
relief
necessary
for
use.
Asking
for
variance
for
use,
roof,
rear
side,
front
height,
far
parking
shows
how
far
this
project
exceeds
existing
code.
A
AQ
Chair
just
Madam
chair,
real
quick,
Paul
Sullivan
for
City
concert,
live
Michael,
Flaherty
the
consulate,
the
gold
record
in
opposition.
A
Chair
all
right,
then.
Well
in
that
case,
let's,
let's
entertain
a
motion.
AX
AX
There
is
some
at
least
argument
that
if
there
is
going
to
be
some
type
of
approach
to
generating
additional
higher
density,
housing
or
public
transit,
this
site
are
probably
more
Superior
than
most
other
sites
in
the
area
would
be
the
one
to
look
at
so
I
just
want
to
add
that
to
the
to
the
record.
Thank.
E
Madam,
chair
I
would
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
of
denial
without
prejudice
the
reason
that
I'm
putting
it
forth
this
motion
is
because
the
zoning
currently
is
at
one
F.
Four
thousand
The
Proposal
exceeds
that
with
six
units,
although
council
is
correct
that
there
are
kind
of
more
multi-family
density
around
the
neighborhood.
Currently,
this
neighborhood
district
is
for
one
family
and
we
would
be
setting
a
precedent
going
all
along
the
street
for
a
higher
density.
So
for
that
reason,
I
am
suggesting
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
to
lower
its
density.
C
G
AX
Yes,
good
afternoon
again,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Richard
Linds,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
for
122
Saratoga
Street
East
Boston.
If
we
could
jump
to
slide
I
believe
slide,
two
would
probably
be
the
place
to
start.
So
you
know,
let's,
let's
actually
jump
down
to
a
slide
four,
which
would
be
a
street,
but
you
better.
Look
at
this
yeah
perfect,
so
Madam
chairman
is
the
board.
We're
looking
at
is
the
existing
residential
structure.
AX
Actually,
it's
semi-attached
on
the
right
hand,
side
that
we
are
proposing
to
renovate
change
the
occupancy
to
three
residential
units,
Just
For
What.
By
way
of
brief
history.
This
was
before
the
board
the
prior
board.
Actually
before
the
cardboard
was
appointed,
where
we
have
proposed
to
renovate
the
building
change
the
option
of
four
dwelling
units
with
a
little
bit
more
of
a
substantial
addition
to
the
rear
of
the
property.
AX
That
proposal
was
denied
in
the
comments
at
that
time
were
that
the
number
of
units,
as
well
as
the
extent
of
the
addition
were
a
little
excessive.
We
had
gone
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
have
revised
this
project
to
reduce
it
down
to
a
three
unit
project,
as
well
as
bring
the
footprint
of
this
building
in
a
little
bit
closer
towards
away
from
the
property
line,
to
allow
a
little
bit
of
relief
from
our
buttons
to
the
left.
AX
In
addition,
we
have
worked
with
the
owner
of
the
property
really
to
our
left
and
to
sort
of
marry
up
the
exterior
of
this
building
we've
arranged
for
you
know
to
to
take
advantage
of
the
economies
of
scale.
So
as
we
do
renovate
our
building
and
allow
for
a
change,
we
will
carry
that
siding.
As
you
can
see
here,
it's
a
little
different
on
both
of
these
across
the
entire
front
facade
of
this
building
and
make
the
doorways
a
bit
more
consistent,
just
really
clean
up
the
front
portion
of
this
building.
AX
So
if
we
could
jump
down
to
slide
eight,
that
will
probably
show
us
a
good
layout
of
the
site
and
what
we've
done
with
respect
to
the
setback
Etc.
So
the
building
itself,
as
you
can
see
here
as
I
said,
is
a
pre-existing
semi-attached
building
the
area
that
we're
proposing
is
the
proposed,
and
then
you
see
the
proposed
patio.
The
extended
edition
is
within
20
feet
of
the
rear
setback
that
is
actually
brought
further
away
from
the
rear
yard.
AX
So
you
can
see
the
building
to
our
left
also
has
an
addition
that
extends
back,
and
it
does
have
some
setback
from
the
property
line.
We're
essentially
looking
to
go
back
as
far
as
that
existing
condition
on
our
left
and
then
have
a
similar
step
back
on
the
left
hand
side
as
well.
If
we
want
to
jump
down
to
slide,
nine
that'll
show
probably
a
little
bit
more
context
of
what
we're
looking
at
so
the
existing
building
to
our
left.
You
can
see
the
outline
there.
AX
I
know
we
do
have
Chris
Drew
from
686
Architects
here
to
answer
any
questions.
You
can
see
the
area
to
our
left
of
our
Edition
that
we've
increased
the
setback
to
allow
for
again
more
space
between
our
addition
and
the
existing
Edition
on
the
left,
and
then
we
show
the
the
decks
and
the
patio
and
the
setback
and
additional
Landscaping
that
we're
proposing
trap,
storage
and
bike
storage
in
the
back
of
the
property.
AX
As
you
can
see,
on
the
right
hand,
side,
that
is
the
updated
elevation
that
shows
us
carrying
essentially
the
same
materials
across
the
front
of
the
building
to
eliminate
that
sort
of
chop
up
look
of
the
building,
even
though
the
even
though
these
are
owned
by
two
separate
owners.
We
felt
it
was
important,
and
certainly
in
response
to
some
of
the
community
comments
that
we
heard
to
try
to
you
know,
create
an
opportunity
to
make
this
building
look
almost
as
a
single
building.
AX
Even
though
it's
owned
by
multiple
parties,
you
want
to
jump
down
to
slide
10,
we
can
look
at
the
floor
plans.
We
do
have
a
basement,
we're
not
proposing
any
habitable
space
that
lower
level
base,
but
the
First
full
level
is
about
a
little
over
a
thousand
square
feet
that
will
be
a
three
bedroom
unit.
AX
If
we
scroll
to
the
next
slide,
we
should
be
able
to
see
if
it's
two
and
three
there
we
go
so
unit
two
looks
to
be
about
not
a
little
under
a
thousand
square
feet:
two
bedroom
unit
and
unit
three
similar
with
the
rear
deck,
as
well
as
the
access
to
a
roof
deck
that
will
be
exclusive
only
to
unit
three
jump
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
AX
So
we
do
show
a
roof.
Deck
and
I
will
show
this
in
the
elevation
plan.
The
roof
deck
is
not
higher
than
the
current
roof
line.
We're
not
proposing
to
raise
the
current
roof
line
from
its
existing
height.
That's
seen,
certainly
from
Saratoga
Street.
This
is
all
done
in
conjunction
with
the
addition
to
the
rear
of
the
property.
Let
me
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
AX
So
our
front
rear
elevations,
as
you
can
see,
that
roof
deck
does
sit
above
the
addition,
but
below
the
ridge
height.
So
we
are
technically
hiding
that
behind
the
existing
roof,
not
necessarily
visible
from
Saratoga
Street,
you
can
see
the
rear
balconies
and
the
access
out
to
the
rear
patio
from
the
lower
level
as
well.
Next
slide,
please
just
showing
our
right
side.
Elevation
is
a
good
opportunity
to
see
the
extent
of
the
addition.
AX
We
do
step
that
back
as
we
move
up
to
that
third
level
and
again
the
spiral
staircase
that
accesses
up
to
that
roof
deck.
All
of
that
being
talked
behind
the
reach
height
that
we're
not
proposing
change
with
respect
to
the
relief
that's
necessary.
This
is
a
2f
district.
There
are
a
significant
number
of
three
and
multi-family
in
this
particular
section
of
East
Boston.
Our
change
to
the
proposed
use
of
three
is
not
only
consistent
with
a
number
of
the
surrounding
uses,
but
also
consistent
in
East
Boston's
changes
for
Zoning
for
this
area.
AX
That
is
required
for
the
district,
so
no
issues
with
compliance
on
lot
size.
The
same
applies
for
width
and
Frontage.
We
do
have
an
existing
non-conformity
with
respect
to
the
side
yard.
We
aren't
proposed
an
increase
that
anymore
with
respect
to
this
Edition
and
therefore
we
do
require
relief.
However,
it's
consistent
with
what
the
current
setback,
especially
on
that
right
side,
currently
sits
at
with
respect
to
the
rear
yard.
This
is
a
shallow,
lock
condition
as
well.
AX
Although
30
feet
is
the
typical
requirement
of
the
zoning
code,
we're
able
to
reduce
that
a
bit
take
five
feet
off
of
the
rear
guide
setback
requirement
because
of
its
shallow
condition.
We
are
at
20.6
feet
and
therefore
we
slightly
still
slightly
below
the
requirement.
So,
therefore,
we
are
requesting
a
variance
for
that
small
difference.
However,
that
is
an
improved
condition
from
the
original
plan
that
was
originally
presented.
The
SAR
that
we
are
proposing
is
1.7,
that
is
in
excess
of
the
0.8.
AX
That
is
permissible,
but
again,
this
is
quite
consistent
with
the
surrounding
context
of
this
immediate
neighborhood.
We
aren't
changing
the
height
of
our
building,
as
you
can
see
here
in
the
elevation,
however,
because
we
do
propose
that
addition-
the
rear.
There
is
a
story
limit
in
in
the
2f
district
at
two
and
a
half.
We
would
require
variance,
because
that
would
be
considered
a
third
story,
addition
or
third
story
on
the
Edition.
So
we
are
requesting
release
put
a
number
of
stories.
AX
There
is
no
additional
open
space
requirements
as
we
are
changing
the
use
from
a
two
to
a
three
unit.
That's
considered
an
other
use.
However,
we
do
provide
a
little
over
800
square
feet
of
open
space,
including
that
rear
yard
patio
area,
as
well
as
that
landscape
area
towards
the
back
last
but
not
least,
is
parking.
This
would
require
two
additional
parking
spaces
under
Arctic
calculations
around
article
53.
However,
it
would
be
somewhat
impractical
to
add
any
parking
to
this
site
based
upon
the
current
conditions
of
the
building.
AX
This
will
offer
an
opportunity
to
take.
You
know
a
building
that
is
definitely
in
need
of
a
good
upgrade
some
repair
and
also
upgrade
the
life
safety
of
this
building,
because
we
would
be
adding
sprinkler
and
updated
fire
alarm
systems
to
the
building
itself.
We
feel
that
the
requirement
to
have
two
parking
space,
especially
within
close
walking
distance
of
airports,
station
and
close
close
to
also
the
bus
lines.
This
this
variance,
could
be
granted
without
a
substantial
detriment
to
the
area.
I'll.
AA
AX
