A
B
A
Mr
kendall,
good
morning,
mr
chair,
ms
lowe.
A
Looks
like
we
are
all
here.
I'm
glad
I'm
glad
to
see
that
mr
fortune,
you
now
begin
with
the
call
of
the
list.
E
G
G
Okay,
my
clients
purchased
this
property
in
august
of
2020..
G
A
Okay,
mr
singer,
mr
fortune,
did
you
say
that
this
expired
on
august
3rd
of
2020?
That's
correct
august?
Yes,
I'm
sorry!
Okay,
mr
singer,
generally,
we
are
elected
to
grant
extensions
when
they've
been
expired
for
as
long
as
this
one
has.
Is
there
a
reason
why
you
know
you
didn't
come
before
this
board
since
since
last
august,
once
your
clients
have
purchased
the
property.
G
Well,
I
can't
say
that
I
personally
was
involved
with
that
at
that
time
my
clients
were
not
aware
that
the
permits
had
expired
and
thought
that
the
permits
were
still
in
effect.
They
had
bought
the
property
as
permitted
and
again
not
aware
that
the
permit
had
expired
all
right.
I.
A
Mean
I
you
know,
given
the
the
the
extreme
nature
of
the
pandemic,
I
think
we
are.
We
tend
to
be
a
little
bit
more
on
these
issues
than
we
have
in
the
past
in
the
future.
A
H
A
Okay,
you
have
your
extension.
That's
through
august
on
august
3rd
of
2022.
A
Okay,
fine
and
I
hope
at
that
time,
you're
not
coming
back
no.
E
E
E
J
Good
morning,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
richard
lynn's,
245,
sumner
street
east
boston.
This
is
actually
a
request
for
extension
to
sign
the
decision.
Mr
secretary,
this
is
obviously
within
the
two
years.
This
involved
a
two
family
project
in
east
boston.
There
was
a
proviso
that
actually
required
the
applicant
to
go
back
and
revisit
how
his
plans
were
being
finalized
because
of
parking.
J
We've
been
working
on
that
and
we
think
we
have
a
solution,
but
we
were
holding
this.
The
decision
pending
a
resolution
to
that
issue
for
the
proviso,
so
we're
respectfully
requesting
that
the
time
to
sign
the
decision
be
extended
so
that
the
board
can
go
ahead
and
file
that.
J
That
is
correct,
but
we
in
order
to
do
that,
mr
chairman,
we
do
need
the
decision
finalized,
okay,.
J
No,
I
there
was,
I
don't
believe
that
was
the
the
case.
What
we
were
doing
is
the
board
included
a
proviso
regarding
the
number
of
required
parking
spaces.
We
were
requesting
relief
to
only
have
one
parking
space
in
relation
with
respect
to
this
project.
It
was
almost
not
workable
to
have
the
two
spaces,
but
we
have
come
up
with
a
solution.
There
has
been
an
amendment
filed,
but
in
order
for
us
to
process
the
amendment,
the
decision
needs
to
be
finalized.
A
J
No
under
the
enabling
act,
the
board
has
90
days
to
sign
its
decision.
My
experience
has
been
historically
when
the
delay
in
the
decision
the
delay
in
the
signing
has
occurred.
The
board
has
for
good
cause,
just
voted
to
extend
that
time.
A
I
I
understand
that
the
question
is:
what
period
of
time
would
you
need,
because
you'll
have
to
you
have
to
schedule
a
hearing
before
the
board.
J
So
there's
a
decision
pending
for
this
for
this
approval,
that
is,
that
is
with
the
legal
in
order
to
be
signed
it
just
my
understanding
is,
it
could
not
be
signed
because
more
than
90
days
is
a
lap,
so
we
just
need
the
decision
sign.
I
I
assumed
30
days
to
get
the
decision
signed
would
be
sufficient.
Okay,.
A
E
J
Mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
richard
lin's
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner,
mr
chairman,
similar
situation.
This
was
actually
approved
by
the
court
on
january
26th.
We
did
get
the
decision
drafted.
It
appeared
that
it
would
not
make
the
90
days
and
therefore
we're
requesting.
We
probably
need
30
days
additional
to
get
the
decision
signed
all
right.

These
decisions
all
expired
on
10
19
october
19th
of
2020.
A
All
right,
why
why
do
you
need
an
extension
in
all
these
cases,.
K
So
I'm
working
with
the
department
of
neighborhood
development
on
these
affordable
housing
buildings
and
when
I
was
due
to
get
my
funding
approved
of
march
of
last
year,
is
when
the
pandemic
hit
pretty
hard,
and
my
lender
at
that
time
had
requested
an
extension
to
provide
the
commitment
letter
and
so
throughout
the
course
of
last
year
and
last
summer.
K
Waiting
on
the
letter
was
not
forthcoming
from
the
lender,
so
I
had
to
switch
gears
to
go
to
another
funding
source,
so
we've
been
delayed
and
acquiring
funding
due
to
code
related
matters.
E
A
So
to
the
applicant
is
there
given
that
it
expired
in
october
of
last
year?
Is
there
a
reason
you
haven't
come
before
the
board
sooner.
K
The
the
funding
situation
was
up
in
the
air
for
a
little
while,
but
we
are
actually
closing
on
six
of
these
properties.
On
monday.
A
Okay,
well
again,
typically,
what
we
like
to
see
is
that
the
expiration
date
nears
that
you
come
and
request
an
extension,
and
if
there
is
a
reasonable
explanation
for
it,
we
will
grant
it.
We
don't
like
to
do
it
after
the
fact.
So
many
months,
but
again
the
pandemic
has
created
a
different
contacts.
So
I
will
entertain
a
motion.
E
Okay
call
in
the
next
case
for
hearings,
our
deferral
withdrawals.
Please,
if
you
can
give
me
the
address
first.
E
H
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board
attorney
jeff
drago,
with
regular
toscano,
with
an
address
of
11
beacon
street,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
pine
street
inn.
Today
we
did
get
notice
from
the
mayor's
office
and
some
of
the
elected
officials
that
there
were
some
late
opposition
that
had
come
in
which
we
believe
we
can
address
at
some
private
meetings
with
some
folks.
We
would
ask
today
for
a
deferral.
We
don't
need
much
time.
There
was
something
available
in
early
july
that
basically
so
grant
that.
H
It
is
mr
erlick,
yes,
okay,.
B
E
M
Good
morning
this
is
dennis
quilty
attorney
for
the
applicant
and
we
would
seek
to
withdraw
the
building
code
matter
only
leaving
the
zoning
case
to
be
heard
this
morning.
This
is
a
companion
case
to
won
the
board
heard
on
april
6th
or
33
north
square,
which
is
the
immediate
next
door
space
which
we're
seeking
to
combine.
A
C
Mr
fortune,
mr
fortune
51
lolly
street,
please
pull
the
record.
C
O
C
The
deferral
from
what
I
was
told
by
mr
johnson,
I
believe
he
and
his
clients
feel
that
they
probably
need
to
do
some
more
work
with
with
the
neighborhood.
P
Q
All
right
this
is
this
is
eric,
mr
rancy.
Can
I
just
check
in
because
I
believe
this
case
actually
has
a
basement
unit
and
a
head
house
as
part
of
the
submission?
Is
that
something
that
you're
looking
at
with
your
client.
C
I'm
not
I'm
not
aware.
I
just
spoke
with
mr
johnson,
as
I
said,
couldn't
be
here
and
ask
me
if
I
was
here
if
I
could
defer
the
matter,
I'm
not
involved
at
this
point.
I
don't
know
whether
that
will
change,
but
I
guess
I
can.
All
I
can
say
is
unaware,
I'm
unaware
of
those
facts.
Mr
mr
robinson,
okay,.
Q
A
C
E
E
Mr
chair,
we
do
have
a
case,
as
I
don't
know,
4160
to
4164
washington
street
they've
been
asked
to
defer,
due
to
the
plans,
examination
to
review
the
plans.
E
Either
way
I
want
to
get
to
that,
I
will
we'll
talk
about
it.
Yeah.
E
So
we
have
no
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
the
extensions
to
give
mr
farula
some
time
to
get
on.
Is
anybody
on
from
snelling
place.
M
Mr
fortune,
I'm
sorry
mr
chair,
I
just
received
a
message
from
mr
furulo
who's
in
my
office
that
he
cannot
get
on.
I
I
had
sent
him
a
message
that
the
case
had
been
called
asking
him
to
log
on,
and
he
just
responded
that
he
couldn't
for
some
reason.
M
Can't
get
on
okay,
could
he
be
put
on
at
the
end
of
the
at
the
end
of
the
day,
or
I
just
don't
know
what
else
to
do.
A
Why
don't
we?
Why
don't
we
call
it
again
at
the
end
of
the
9
30
hearings,
okay,.

Please
good.
J
Morning,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
richard
linz
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner,
we
may
have,
I
believe,
someone
from
the
architect
team
as
well,
but
I
can
walk
through
the
presentation
briefly.
This
is
a
pre-existing
three-family
dwelling
located
in
the
jeffries
point
neighborhood.
Our
proposal
would
be
for
a
complete
renovation
of
the
entire
building,
proposing
a
rare
addition
and
extending
partial
living
space
only
to
the
rear
portion
of
the
building
itself.
That
lower
level
will
be
used
in
conjunction
with
level
one.
J
So
it's
not
intended
to
be
a
separate,
independent
unit.
As
you
can
see
here.
This
is
a
very
typical
triple
decker
along
maverick
street,
and
I
believe
we
do
have
some
renderings
showing
what
the
proposed
changes
would
be.
The
exterior
just
as
we're
scrolling
through
that
the
unit
sizes
will
be
relatively
generous
for
this
area.
Arranging
for
about
1200
square
feet
up
to
about
1600
square
feet
total.
These
are
intended
to
be
two
plus
bedroom.
J
Three
bedroom
units,
and
again
this
will
involve
a
complete
rehab
and
rehabilitation
of
the
existing
structure,
because
this
is
located
at
3f
2000
district.
The
use
which
is
already
pre-existing
is
an
allowed
use
for
relief,
we're
requesting
a
rear
yard
setback
variants
which
will
allow
us
to
reduce
the
setback
to
20
feet
required
as
30
in
the
district.
Our
four-year
ratio
would
be
increased
to
a
1.81
where
1.0
is
allowed.
We
are
cited
for
height,
mr
chairman,
but
I
believe
that
has
to
do
with
the
head
house
that
was
originally
included
in
the
plan.
J
Obviously,
we
will
not
intend
to
complete
the
head
house.
There
is
no
requirement,
because
this
is
a
three-story
building.
We
would
not
even
require
building
code
relief,
so
we
anticipate
a
modification
to
remove
that
head
house
in
conjunction
with
the
use
of
that
rooftop
last
but
not
least,
is
the
signed
year.
The
existing
conditions
are
pretty
much
going
to
remain.
J
We
are
proposing
the
addition
to
keep
the
same
plane
of
the
sides
of
the
building,
as
shown
here
on
the
plan,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
the
board.
J
They
do,
and
again
we
typically
when
these
are
filed
the
architect
files
these
to
be
at
least
intended
to
be
complying
with
the
building
code.
In
this
particular
case,
we've
informed
them
that
the
head
house
is
not
likely
to
be
supported
by
the
board,
and
our
client
has
no
issue
with
removing
the
headphones
okay.
A
And
the
second
question
is:
has
to
do
with
basement
living
space
is,
I
think
I
looked
and
I
have
an
elevation.
What
is
your
understanding
of
the
the
dimension
between
the
floor
of
the
basement
and
grade.
J
There
is
a
section,
mr
chairman
included,
I
believe
it
shows
nine
feet
from
the
grade
to
the
ceiling
in
the
portion
of
the
area.
That's
being
proposed
to
be
well.
A
It
should
it
shows
nine
feet
to
the
ceiling,
but
I
believe
it
only
shows
four
foot
four
to
the
from
the
floor
of
the
basement
to
grade.
A
All
right,
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson,
that
four
four
doesn't
seem
to
me?
It
seems
to
be
a
little
bit
of
a
concern.
Q
Yeah
you're
correct:
the
plans
are
good,
they
do
show
the
basement
unit.
It
is
connected
to
the
main
floor
unit.
So
it
is
not
a
separate
unit,
so
it
does
have
an
internal.
You
know
access
there,
but
it
does
have
a
window
well
indicated.
A
N
I
mean
it
says,
eliminate
it
all
together.
I
know
you
guys
are
very
particular
about
the
bedroom
space
that
hasn't
filtered
down
to
the
planners.
Yet
so
you
know
so.
J
A
Mr
lynn,
that's
correct
that
that's
the
the
posture
that
we
have
taken
pretty
consistently.
A
Okay,
all
right
and
mr
robinson
any
other
comments
about
the
plans.
Okay,
they're

E
J
Mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
richard
lenz,
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner,
mr
kell
logan
with
me,
is
eric
zacherson,
who
is
the
project
architect
real
briefly,
mr
chairman,
this
is
a
pre-existing
two-family
dwelling
located
in
a
three
f-2000
district,
so
the
proposed
change
from
a
two
to
a
three
is
an
allowed
use.
We
are
proposing
complete
rehabilitation
of
the
existing
structure,
as
well
as
a
vertical
addition
that
would
combine
the
third
level
with
the
new
fourth
level
for
unit
three.
J
The
existing
unit
sizes
for
units,
one
and
two
for
first
and
second
level,
are
just
over
575
square
feet.
Again,
that's
a
pre-existing
condition.
Those
are
currently
two
bedrooms
and
will
continue
will
remain
as
two
bedrooms.
The
unit
three
size
with
the
addition
would
be
about
1100
square
feet.
That's
proposed
also
to
be
a
two-plus
bedroom
with
respect
to
the
violations
that
were
cited.
The
lot
area
for
additional
dwelling
unit
being
insufficient
3
000
square
feet
would
be
required.
J
This
property
is
a
little
over
2100
square
feet
total
because
it
is
a
shallow
lot.
The
height
of
our
building
would
be
four
stories
with
the
addition
at
42.2
feet,
which
is
7.2
feet
above
the
allowable
height
limit.
J
We
are
proposing
about
900
or
so
square
feet
of
open
space,
which
would
seem
to
be
conforming,
but
we
were
cited
for
it
by
isd.
I
feel
that
the
look
at
the
site
plan,
which
show
that
there's
probably
sufficient
usable
open
space
for
this
change,
this
building
was
previously
a
three
family
changed
to
a
two.
J
J
A
Okay,
so
the
parking
you're
simply
there's
no
additional
parking.
A
Okay,
okay,
now
let
me
ask
you
a
question
about
the
height
in
terms
of
context.
You
are
going
up
another
story:
how
can
you
can
we
go
back
to
the
psych
context,
photographs
that
were
there?
How
does
what
mr
linz,
what
does
that
do
in
terms
of
the
neighborhood
contacts?
Will
you
be
higher
than
the
neighboring
buildings.
J
There
is
this:
this
section
of
chelsea's
treatments
chairman,
does
have
a
mix
of
three-story
and
four-story
buildings
as
you
get
out
a
little
bit
further
up,
chelsea
on
the
other
side,
they're.
Actually,
mr.
A
Okay,
mr
robinson.
Q
How
are
the
drawings,
the
plans
are
good.
Q
Q
I
had
a
question
for
bpda
on
this.
I
mean
I
assume
they
reviewed
it.
I
I
in
first
glance
I
generally
agree
there.
It
does
seem
to
be
the
entire
street
at
three
stories,
with
some
of
them
walk
up
some
of
them
not
so
they
kind
of
vary
a
little
bit,
but
I
assume
urban
planning
has
reviewed
this
and
is
comfortable
with
the
additional
height.
A
Okay,
any
questions
to
the
board.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
proposal.
S
Good
morning,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
in
a
community
with
the
maine's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
learn
the
recording
support
for
this
proposal
during
the
community
process.
This
proposal
receives
support
from
maverick
central
neighborhood
association
and
from
abandons,
and
we
also
receive
two
areas
of
support.
Thank
you.

Please
good.
M
Morning
again,
mr
chairman,
mr
secretary,
dennis
quilty
attorney
at
mcdermott
representing
the
restaurant
operator
and
the
landlord
in
this
matter.
As
I
suggested
earlier,
we
have
withdrawn
the
building
code
portion
of
this
and
would
like
to
go
forward
on
the
zoning.
This
is
a
companion
case
who
won
the
board
heard
on
april
6th
and,
unfortunately,
due
to
a
scheduling,
mix-up
37
got
separated
somewhere
along
the
line,
so
we
were
only
able
to
hear
33
on
april
6th.
We
should
have
had
33
and
37
together,
and
that
was
corrected.
M
We
have
gone
through
a
full
community
review
with
the
two
neighborhood
groups
newer
and
new
nick
it
was
our
butters
meeting.
We've
had
no
objections
heard
of
and
as
the
board
suggested
on
the
april
6
hearing,
we
will
take
the
building
code
matters
to
the
estate
for
their
further
review.
So
we're
here
today
hoping
that
the
conditional
use
for
the
restaurant
expansion
will
be
allowed.
M
The
restaurant
operator,
mr
strata,
is
with
us
this
morning.
The
restaurant
is
forsela,
which
is
a
extremely
popular
well-run
restaurant,
which
has
been
in
this
site
for
the
last
couple
of
years
prior
to
that
it
housed
a
restaurant
known
as
carmen,
so
that
this
site
has
been
a
restaurant
operation
for
probably
25
years
and
interestingly,
this
the
275
feet
has
been
vacant
for
about
20
years.
M
A
M
A
Okay,
but
the
proposal
is,
is
unchanged
with
this
correction.
A
M
M
So,
as
we
get
into
the
warmer
weather
months,
he'll
be
he'll,
be
able
to
to
stay
afloat,
but
it's
obviously
the
the
bulk
of
the
year.
That's
not
pleasant
enough
to
be
outside
that
this
extra
space
will
help
him
quite
a
bit.
A
Okay,
very
good:
how
are
the?
How
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson,
the
plans
are
fine,
I
mean
it
seems
pretty
straightforward.

Calling

to

cambridge

This
is
a
change
of
arc.
From
the
spinning
studio
to
restaurant,
the
renovation
of
the
existing
3361
square
ground
floor
space.
There
will
be
no
internal
or
external
structural
changes,
but
will
provoke
the
facade
change.
The
violations
article
8
section
7
restaurant
use
is
conditional
name
and
address
for
the
record.
E
X
Yes,
you
have
pam
haber
director
of
real
estate
and
I
believe
our
attorney
should
be
on
mom.
Are
you
on.
Z
Z
Yep
I
apologize
tom
miller,
mcdermott
colton
miller.
I
am
joined
by
stephen
miller
as
well.
You
heard
from
pamela
haber
from
sweetgreen
and
so
we're
here
before
you
today,
because
sweet
green
is
planning
on
opening
a
restaurant
on
cambridge
street
in
beacon
hill.
It
is
an
l,
265
zoning
sub
district,
which
means
the
restaurant
requires
a
conditional
use
permit.
Z
Z
The
project
has
been
designed
to
limit
the
impact
of
any
odors
emanating
from
the
kitchen
by
venting
to
the
roof,
scheduling,
deliveries
and
trash
pickups,
so
as
not
to
interfere
with
the
traffic
on
cambridge
street
trash
plane
are
being
stored
internally
until
the
time
of
pickup
and
then
we'll
be.
The
bins
will
be
returned
immediately
after
inside
the
space
itself
has
been
designed
in
a
thoughtful
way
to
reflect
the
surrounding
community,
the
environment
and
based
on
their
experience
operating
in
locations
throughout
boston
and
nationally
during
the
community
outreach
process.
Z
AA
Z
It's
been
there
since
the
building
was
designed.
We
are,
we
have
included
in
our
design,
adding
temporary
planters
to
direct
patrons
entering
and
exiting
through
that
door
directly
to
and
from
cambridge
street.
Additionally,
sweet
green
is
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
neighbors
to
address
other
concerns
regarding
park,
parking
and
access
to
strong
place
immediately.
Abutting
the
restaurant,
the
addition
of
sweet
greens
to
this
location
on
cambridge
street
will
not
adversely
affect
the
beacon
hill
community.
Z
A
Z
Yes,
takeout
is
part
of
part
of
their
restaurant
model,
but
it
is
less
than
I
believe
it's
less
than
half
of
their
their
orders
pretty
pandemic.
Okay,.
A
But-
and
I
know
that
I
mean
sweet
greens
has
been
around
so
I
know
they're
familiar
with
all
the
mary's
takeout
procedures
in
the
city
of
boston.
They
aren't
okay,
this
can
we
can
you
bring
the
the
rendering
up
of
the
facade.
X
I'm
sorry
this
is
pam
heber
from
sweet,
green
and
I
just
put
in
the
chat
two
people
from
my
team
who
can
speak
to
other
questions
that
you
may
have
are
on,
but
aren't
unable
to
be
unmuted.
So
if
you
could
please
unmute
them
and
hope.
A
Seven
days
a
week:
okay,
how
are
the
drawings,
mr
robinson
drawings,
are
good
yeah
I
mean
this
seems
relatively
straightforward.
I
see
we're
going
from
a
spinning
studio
where
you
lose
weight
to
a
restaurant
where
you
might
gain
weight,
but
given
we
give
that
healthy
food,
I
don't
think
that's
a
problem.
AB
U
Excuse
me,
I
was,
I
thought,
council
black
was
going
to
speak.
This
is
karen
foley
council
wasabi
george's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
project.
Thank
you.
AC
Yeah
kennedy
avery
with
counselor
box
office,
given
that
sweet
green
hasn't
agreed
to
a
good
neighbor
agreement
with
their
neighbors
to
keep
its
door
on
the
strong
place
side,
a
residential
street
as
emergency
exit.
Only
at
this
time,
counselor
bach
would
like
to
go
on
record
in.
A
Opposition
was
there:
was
there
an
agreement
that
was
offered
that
they
did
not
sign?
So
I
couldn't
quite
hear
what
you
said
so.
J
AC
Yes,
to
our
knowledge,
the
beacon
health
civic
association
presented
a
good
neighbor
agreement
to
which
sweet,
green
and
bhca
were
not
able
to
come
to
resolution.
At
this
point
on
a
on
a
particular
matter
concert
concerning
a
side
entrance
to
which
the
neighborhood
would
like
to
see
that
used
as
emergency
exit.
Only.
A
Okay,
is
there
any
any
other
testimony
in
either
in
favor
or
opposition.
AD
AD
AE
AE
AE
Hi
tom
clement,
seven
goodwin
place
beacon
hill,
I'm
the
co-chair
of
the
zoning
committee
of
the
beacon
hill,
civic
association.
Okay,
we
had
had
extensive
discussions
with
the
applicant.
AE
For
the
most
part,
the
applicant
has
been
very
cooperative
and
on
some
of
the
matters
that
are
sort
of
undefined,
such
as
trash
pickup
hours,
and
things
of
that
sort
has
agreed
to
make
every
effort
to
be
cooperative
without
being
specific
at
this
point,
but
the
big
issue
is
the
side
door
on
the
strong
place.
Strong
place
is
a
small
residential
lane.
Next
to
the
building,
this
door
in
the
past
has
never
been
used
as
a
regular
entrance
or
exit
only
for
emergency
use.
AE
The
pedestrian
passage
into
strong
place
passes
along
that
side
of
the
building.
It's
recently
been
blocked
by
a
car
which
was
parked
there
for
some
reason,
but
that
forces
residents
to
walk
into
the
traveled
part
of
a
strong
place
also
this
street.
This
part
of
cambridge
street
is
highly
impacted
by
traffic
because
there
are
turning
lanes
for
the
hospital
and
if
the
traffic
is
backed
up
in
cambridge
street,
at
all
the
it
backs
up
into
the
intersection
prevents
ambulances
from
getting
into
the
hospital.
AE
So
the
fact
that
this
is
a
high
takeout
use
with
app
driven
pickup
by
doordash
type,
delivery
services
and
other
people
who
can
stop
in
makes
it
a
very
sensitive
use
in
this
location.
AE
So
the
problem
of
potential
double
parking
in
front
and
cars
pulling
into
or
parking
in
front
of
strong
place
when
residents
are
trying
to
enter
or
exit
opposes
a
a
hazard
both
to
pedestrians
on
the
sidewalk
trying
to
pass.
A
Mr
clinton,
mr
clemens,
thank
you.
I
I
think
we
you've
got.
We
got
your
point
for
two
points.
One
is
the
issue
of
the
door
on
strong
place
and
the
other
is
a
question
of
parking
and
double
parking
for
pickup.
Mr
robinson,
can
you
tell
from
the
drawings
whether
that
that
door
in
strong
place
is
required
as
a
second
means
of
egress?
Is
that
why
it's
there
and
is
there
an
alternative.
Q
Q
So
the
pickup
window
on
strong
place
has
been
removed.
It's
shown
on
the
drawings,
but
okay.
Z
X
Z
That
door
that
we've
been
talking
about
is
is
four
feet
from
cambridge
street.
It
is
just
just
at
the
corner
of
the
building
just
so
that
the
board
is
aware
that
it's
it's
not.
You
know
it's
not
a
great
distance
up.
Cambridge
street
we're
you
know,
we've
been
talking
with
the
community
and
talking
with
tom,
clemons
and
beacon
hill.
You
know
we.
Z
We
are
more
than
willing
to
work
with
the
residents
of
strong
place
to
alleviate
any
concerns
they
have
and
prevent
parking
at
the
base
of
a
strong
place,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
supporting
pic
process
to
erect
something
that
would
be
feasible
for
them
and
away
those
concerns
and
we're
also
working
with
the
landlord
to
prevent
parking
of
cars
in
that
space
that
tom
clemons
referenced.
A
That
was
there
when
it
was
a
spinning
studio,
correct.
Z
I
I
don't
know
what
their
usage
was.
AD
This
is
brett
mitchell
five
strong
place
that
door
has
been
not
used
at
all.
As
a
result
of
the
spinning
studios
operations,
it
was
mutated
to
us
to
be
used
only
as
a
emergency.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
any
other
any
questions
to
the
board.
All
right
can
I
have
a
motion.
Please.
F
A
E
AF
AF
So
this
is
my
second
time
here
at
the
board
of
appeals.
I
came
in
february
2019,
there's
an
issue
with
the
zoning
for
two
family
in
tavern,
which
has
since
since
been
fixed,
and
I
am
now
obviously
living
in
the
three
family.
AF
There
have
been
some
of
those
concerns
in
the
past
with
unit
two
and
in
the
building
as
a
whole,
and
I've
taken
some
measures
to
alleviate
these
concerns.
The
owner
of
the
unit
two,
my
building
has
updated
his
lease
agreement
to
specifically
state
that
his
tenants
do
not
or
will
not
have
access
to
my
private
roof
check
and
that
they
have
to
comply
with
all
the
city
and
noise
ordinances.
AF
Also,
there
are
more
than
43
of
butters
in
the
immediate
area
that
have
signed
off.
Okay.
AF
Yep,
so
if
you
scroll
down
to
the
the
photos,
I
just
want
to
continue
this
back
staircase
and
up
on
the
back
and
build
the
roof
move
deck
on
the
top
and
the
planes
are
below.
AF
No,
I
only
own
unit
three,
and
there
just
have
been
some
better
concerns
in
the
past
about
unit
two.
A
Right
and
but
you
refer
to
the
other,
so
it's
not
a
condo
in
the
sense
that
all
three
all
three
of
the
people,
all
three
occupants
are
owners.
Correct.
AF
The
the
unit
two
is,
there
are
tenants
there
in
unit
one
which
does
not
have
an
outdoor
space
also
has
tenants.
I
am
an
owner
occupant
on
the
third
floor.
Okay,
all
right.
A
Very
good,
and
so
the
access
to
this
proposed
roof
deck
is
through
a
continuation
of
a
staircase
exterior
staircase.
Is
that
correct,
that's
correct
and
how
big
is
the
roof.
AF
Deck
yeah,
it's
20
by
25
feet,
and
originally
I
wanted
to
build
bigger.
But
speaking
with
the
architect
and
the
city,
I
had
shrunk
it
down
to
be
within
the
obviously
within
the
city
limits.
A
Based
on
the
drawing
in
front
of
us,
I'm
not
sure
how
much
bigger
you
could
have
built
it.
AF
Yeah,
I
think,
on
the
top
part,
I
could
have
gone
at
least
from
five
feet
from
the
front
of
dorchester
street,
so
I
think
it
was
about
an
extra
hundred
fifty
hundred
square
feet
smaller
than
I
could.
Okay.
A
One
of
those,
what
are
those
two
rectangles
in
the
top
left
of
the
those
are
air
conditioning
units,
so
you
couldn't
have
so
you
couldn't
have
gone
much
further.
AF
A
Okay,
how
are
the
drawings,
mr
robinson,
the
drawings
are
fine.
Okay,
all
right!
Is
there
anyone
any
questions
from
the
board?
Anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
proponent.
AF
A
AG
You,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
haley
dylan,
mayor's
office,
neighborhood
services,
I'd
like
to
go
work
at
an
opposition
of
this
proposal,
and
I
would
like
to
state
that
the
boston
police
department
also
wrote
a
letter
in
opposition.
Thank
you.
AG
Just
I
don't
want
to
say
it's
a
problem
property,
but
just
based
on
the
amount
of
calls
that
bpd
has
made
and
all
the
complaints
that
my
office
has
had
at
this
building.
We'd
like
to
go
work
in
opposition.
AG
A
AG
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Anybody
else.
AH
Good
morning,
members
of
the
board
from
councillor
flink's
office,
the
counselor
would
like
to
go
record
an
opposition
to
this
roof
deck
based
on
feedback
from
neighbors
and
aborters.
Please
know:
neighbors
have
written
to
counselor
fling
about
having
to
call
9-1-1
many
times
due
to
loud
noise
from
huge
parties.
AH
At
all
hours
of
this
address,
many
have
many
have
reading
emails
and
expressed
that
the
last
thing
they
would
like
to
see
is
a
ruptek
at
this
address,
which
has
become
a
problem
property
to
the
for
the
neighbors
consular
fleet
would
like
to
oppose
based
on
the
negative
impacts
that
will
have
on
loud
noise
for
neighbors,
which
will
only
escape
the
current
quality
of
life
issues
that
they
are
experiencing.
Thank
you.
A
Let
me
ask
you
the
same
question.
I
asked
the
mayor's
office,
we
have
one
owner,
occupant
and
two
tenants
in
the
building
is:
have
the
problems
been
in
with
all
three
units
or
one
or
two
or
three
of
them?
Do
you
know.
AH
Well,
when
people
reach
out
to
us,
they
reach
out
to
us
on
25,
dorchester
stream
and
when
they
reach
out
to
us
it
was
when
the
roof
there
was
proposed.
So
I
will
assume
it's
from
this
unit,
but
I'm
not
certain.
AI
Oh
sorry,
thanks
karen,
mr
members
of
the
board
paul
solomon
city
council
at
lodge
michael
flaherty,
equity
and

as
well
as
article
68
considerations.
The
council
like
to
go
on
record
opposition.
U
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the

karen
foley
council,
wasabi
george's
office,
would
like
to
echo
also
councillor
flynn's
in
go
on
reckon

Excuse
me,
opposition.
I'm
sorry,
we
oppose
thank
you.
We.
A
E
D
AJ
Yeah
hi,
my
name
is
pierce
martin,
I'm
actually
speaking
on
behalf
of
senator
nick
collins.
We
have
also
received
a
similar
complaint.
AJ
Five
address
street
boston:
mass02127
alright
go
ahead,
so
our
office
has
also
received
a
number
of
similar
complaints
as
the
as
the
one
deferred
previously
by
email
and
call
both
about
the
the
possibility,
the
potential
of
a
roof
deck
being
added
and
as
well
as
the
the
number
of
9-1-1
calls
and
complaints
about
noise
parties
and
that
kind
of
thing.
Okay,.
A
AA
Webb
45
west
second
street
directly
across
from
this.
You
know
this
unit,
that's
looking
for
the
roof
deck.
My
window
would
exactly
face
the
roof.
Deck
and
there's
been
remorse
calls
on
this.
This
address
and
this
property
and
it's
just
a
problem
property.
As
far
as
as
far
as
the
neighborhood's
concerned,
I
mean
if
it's
not
a
if
it's
not
a
party,
you
know,
there's
you
know,
remnants
of
the
party
that
are
all
over
the
area
and
all
over
the
sidewalk.
AA
I
just
I
can't
see
the
point
of
having
a
115
square
home
or
unit
or
condo
already
having
244
square
feet
of
outdoor
living
and
adding
another
500
square
feet
of
space.
I
mean
that's
good.
A
A
N
A
E
C
Good
morning
adam,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
branson,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
west
broadway
in
south
boston.
I
represent
kyle
and
david
gambon
first,
mr
chairman,
just
a
clarification
for
the
record.
Article
29
isn't,
of
course,
a
violation.
It's
a
compliance
requirement
under
the
code.
This
is
a
fully
zoning
compliant
application
requiring
green
belt
protection.
Overlay
district
approval
only
for
new
three-story
three-family
dwelling
on
an
existing
vacant
lot
at
1778
columbia,
road
in
south
boston.
C
The
relevant
zoning
sub-district
is
mfr
multi-family
residential
under
article
68..
The
three
units
are
three
bedroom
units
of
approximately
2
400
square
feet.
Each
four
offspring
parking
spaces
are
required
and
five
spaces
are
provided
in
a
below
grade
garage
accessed
by
east
eighth
street
at
the
rear
of
the
property.
By
means
what
will
be
a
new
standard
with
curb
cut?
There
will
be
a
roof
deck
for
the
top
floor
unit
accessed
by
means
of
a
hatch.
C
The
g
part
approval
by
the
board,
pursuant
to
article
29,
warrants
no
more
than
the
imposition
of
reasonable
conditions
in
connection
with
approval
of
a
site
plan,
typically
by
means
of
bpda
design
review
and
that
the
board
does
not
have
discretionary
legal
authority
to
deny
a
gpar
permit.
Thank
you.
A
C
A
Any
questions
from
the
board
is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
proponent.
AG
Hi,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
haley
dillon
mayor's
office,
neighborhood
services,
electrical
american
opposition
of
this
project,
just
based
on
the
community
feedback
and
all
the
letters
of
opposition
my
office
has
received.
Thank
you.
AG
A
And
and
what's
what's
the
reasoning
mr
fortune.
E
I
can
read
about
two
seconds
here:
the
greenbelt.
O
O
A
Okay,
anybody
else
looking
to
testify.
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
We
actually
never
received
a
rejection
letter
from
isd
on
this
project,
so
we
had
no
idea
what
the
zoning
violations
were
going
to
be.
So
we
were
not
able
to
make
a
recommendation
on
this.
This
particular
case.
I
understand
that
there
is
some
concern
with
the
design
with
the
design
of
the
property
and
that
if
this
was
something
to
go
forward,
I
would
think
extensive
design
review
to
try
to
keep
in
character
with
that
block
of
columbia
road.
N
I
know
there
are
some
triple
deckers,
very
nice,
triple
deckers
along
that
that
stretch
of
columbia,
road
that
I
think
we'd
try
to
like
to
mimic.
If
this
were
to
go
forward.
I
AL
Yes,
it's
luanne
o'connor,
I'm
the
chairwoman
of
the
city.
Point
neighborhood
association.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
great
members
of
the
board,
the
opposition
to.
AM
This
is
in
fact
130
signatures
and
it
is
based
on
roof
decks.
It
is
based
on
the
overall
design
of
the
building
columbia.
Road
is
made
up
of
beautiful,
triple
deckers
and
some
of
them
date
back
to
the
eighteen.
Nineteen
hundreds
roof
structures,
I
mean
it's
just
a
beautiful
area
and
this
particular
building
does
not
belong
in
that
area.
AM
So
what
we're
asking
for
is
denial
so
that
the
proponent
can
take
a
year
come
come
back
to
us
in
the
community
with
another
set
of
plans,
and
so
that
we
can
work
together,
we're
not
against
building
on
this
lot,
because
everybody
has
the
right
to
do
so.
What
we
are
against
is
taking
our
area
out
of
character.
It
is
along
the
beach
lines,
the
yacht
clubs
and
georgian
homes,
it's
just
a
very
beautiful
architectural
area,
and
we
want
to
keep
it
that
way.
Thank
you.
Thank.
U
U
It's
just
it's
the
people
in
south
austin,
including
myself,
that's
just
a
beautiful
area,
and
it
you
know.
Just
who
knows.
What's
gonna
happen,
if
it's
all
gonna,
you
know
they're
all
gonna
follow
suit,
but
it's
it's
just
it
doesn't
fit
in
and
the
people
are
very
opposed
to
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay,.
A
Is
that
anakel
neuron
able
to
get
on.
AI
Mr
chairman,
this
is
paul
solver
from
councillor
flaherty's
office,
echoing
all
the
sediments
that
have
already
been
said,
and
due
to
the
the
opposition
that
we've
received
to
our
office
and
the
with
the
design
of
this
project.
The
concept
on
record
in
opposition.
A
Okay
again
just
asking
whether
anna
is
able
to
get
on
or
unmute
herself,
okay,.
I
Okay,
let
me
just
try
her
and
anna.
Can
you
yeah,
I
think,
she's
having
some
connectivity
issues.
I
can't
unmute
her
either.
So
I
apologize
okay.
A
Mr
robinson
is
your
sense
of
the
outlier
design
quality.
Is
that
does
that
make
sense
to
you.
Q
Probably
not,
I
guess,
I'm
probably
an
opposite
in
opposite
opinion
of
all
the
negative.
You
know,
aesthetics
are
subjective
and
things
are
built
as
of
their
time,
and
you
know
I
am
not
one
that
is
mimics
historic
things
we
don't
build
like
that
anymore,
but
and
the
fact
that
the
project
is
as
of
right.
Besides
the
overlay
district,
you
know
I
I
feel
like
that.
U
Okay,
excuse
me,
mr
chairman
sansa
flynn's
right
here.
I
just
went
over
to
his
office.
AH
AH
Thank
you
good
morning,
mr
chairman
members
of
the
board
anna
calderon
from
councillor
fling's
office.
The
council
would
like
to
own
recording
in
opposition
to
this
proposal.
We
have
received
significant
opposition
from
neighbors
and
the
city
point
neighborhood
association.
AH
The
neighbors
have
noted
that,
as
this
project
is
cheaper
applicable,
it
therefore
needs
to
be
protected,
protect
the
green
belt
and
respect
the
architectural
integrity
of
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
Many
have
highlighted
their
concerns
regarding
the
design
that
this
proposal
does
not
align
with
the
character
of
the
community
on
the
south
boston
beach
line.
Moreover,
at
the
at
the
bottoms
meeting
and
in
the
support
weeks
that
has
followed
the
proponent
did
not
show
a
willingness
or
interest
to
work
with
the
community
on
a
good
phase
compromise
as
a
result.
AH
A
Thank
you
very
much,
anna
any
other
anyone
else,
any
other
raised
hands.
Madam
ambassador,.
Q
A
A
Is
there
a
second
to
that?
Second,
all
those
in
favor
all
opposed.
I
okay
motion
passes
mr
robinson
is
in
opposition.
E
Following
your
next
case,
calling
voa
116
146814
ennis
road,
this
has
built
an
unattached
two
family
on
the
same
lot
as
another
attached
to
family,
combined
lots,
12
and
14
and
as
a
total
of
six
parking
spaces,
the
intent
is
to
create
two
zone
buildings
of
block
one
at
fourteen
enes,
violent
legion
article
55,
section
9.
The
minimum
lot
with
requirement
is
insufficient.
AO
Good
morning,
secretary
attorney
joe
anthony
mcdermott,
quilty
miller,
28
state
street
in
boston
and
good
morning.
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
also
with
me,
is
the
owner
developer,
adam
sarbaugh,
so.
A
AO
Sir
and
nice
to
see
you
this
morning.
AO
In
your
neighborhood
or
close
to
it,
and
so
so
14
ns
road
is
in
the
eggleston
square,
section
of
jamaica
plain
what
is
being
proposed,
which
you'll
see
here
is
to
construct
a
new
two-family
structure
on
in
a
zoning
compliant
manner
that
complies
with
the
underlying
use
at
this
section
in
the
neighborhood,
which
is
a
2f
4000
zone,
compliant
with
height
all
of
these
setbacks,
far
and
parking.
AO
But
we
are
here
because
we
need
relief
with
respect
to
the
lot
width
and
if
you
go
back,
madam
ambassador,
to
the
site
plan,
you
will
see
that
this
is
an
asymmetrical
shaped
lot
on
the
survey.
It
is
not
a
square,
it
is
rectangular,
and
so
the
relief
is
even
more
narrowly
defined
in
the
sense
that
the
code
requires
a
40
foot,
lot
width.
We
have
that
at
the
front
of
the
site
and
we're
only
two
feet:
seven
inches
short
at
the
rear
and
the
building.
AO
Next
to
us,
the
two
family
that
has
been
permitted
next
to
us
also
meets
or
exceeds
that.
So
it's
it's
both
de
minimis,
but
it's
also
supported
by
the
confines
and
unique
aspects
of
the
property
site.
So
for
the
proposal,
if,
if
I
can.
A
AO
So
the
curb
cut
becomes
the
existing
becomes.
A
new
driveway
that
will
serve
to
the
left
is:
is
12
venice,
which
is
not
before
you
has
been
granted
a
permit
as
of
right
for
a
new
two
family
to
be
constructed.
AO
Okay,
that's
what
okay
to
the
right
is
14
and
that's
where
there's
an
existing
structure,
that's
being
demolished.
We've
got
a
determination
from
landmarks
already
and
we
would
build
a
mimicked,
essentially
a
new
two
family
of
the
same
style
and
design
and
programming
as
the
one
next
to
it,
which
you
see
in
the
plans.
The
variance
pertains
only
to
the
lot
width,
which
is
again
required
to
be
40
for
both
and
we're
only
dealing
with
14.,
okay.
A
And
the
driveway
is,
is
completely
within
the
lot
of
14
proposed
driveway.
AO
So
these
are,
these
are
two
structures
on
one
lot,
which
is
allowed
under
section
55.41,
subsection
12
allows
to
share
a
driveway,
correct.
AO
Is
there
anything
else
just
to
take
you
inside
of
the
proposed
to
family?
They
are
identical
sized
two-bedroom
units
of
good
size,
1138
square
feet
each
each
with
parking.
This
is
contemplated
to
be
a
condominium
home
ownership
project,
very
consistent
with
what
we've
heard
from
this
board.
With
this
with
respect
to
ample
sized
housing
units
for
family
occupancy,
which
we
think
would
be
a
natural
okay,.
A
Collect
keep
scrolling
down
so
can
we
see
the
elevations
and
renderings
if
there
are
any
okay,
very
good?
Thank
you,
okay!
Is
that
all
right,
very
so
really,
the
only
the
only
zoning
issue
is
the
lot
width
that
we
correct
and.
Q
The
plans
are
good,
just
one
question
on
the
curb
cut
width,
it's
indicated
as
12
feet.
I
think
I
assume
we
can
go
to
a
10
foot
for
that,
or
is
that
12
needed?
Because
it's
shared
minimize,
the
saving
between
the.
AO
Q
Q
AO
I
mean
so
it's
there's
habitable
space
in
the
basement.
Those
are
egress
fully
compliant,
you
know
window
wells
and
if
you
look
on
the
plans,
it's
essentially
like
wreck
space,
you
know
these
are
intended
to
be.
You
know.
Q
AP
Yes,
good
morning,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
lindsey
santana
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
on
a
butter's
meeting
after
this
proposal
was
held
on
march
15
2021
and
the
applicant
has
received
the
support
of
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council
and
the
eggleston
square
neighborhood
association,
so
the
mayor's
office,
like
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.
AQ
Good
morning,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
this
is
peter
favreto
from
counselor
matt
o'malley's
office.
The
council
would
also
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.
U
I
L
E
AR
Good
morning,
mr
secretary,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board
scott
kirkwood
1904
washington
street,
representing
the
owners,
843
columbia,
road
llc,
you
know
this
one's
pretty
simple.
I
think
the
best
place
to
look
is
really
the
side.
Elevations,
the
that'll
kind
of
show
you
how
this
space
is
being
egressed
out
of
which
I
think
is
the
most
important
thing.
AR
AR
That
would
require
eight
and
a
half
square
feet
of
natural
ventilation
per
the
square
footage,
and
we
have
ten
and
a
half
feet
here
when
you
egress
out
that
window,
it's
only
a
foot
down
and
the
windows
dimensions
are
31
inches
by
51
inches
and
the
finished
hill
height
above
the
finished
floor
is
40
inches,
so
the
the
window
opens
completely
out.
AR
It's
not
actually
below
grade
the
site
grades
down
in
the
back.
So
it's
not.
It's
not
really
a
basement.
The
way
it
lives.
There's
plenty
of
light
that
gets
in
there.
I
had
actually
included
as
part
of
my
appeal
photos
of
what
the
finished
condition
looks
like
I
mean
there's
plenty
of
light
that
gets
in
there
eight
foot
finished
ceiling
height
at
one
point
it
drops
down
to
about
seven
three,
but
that's
still
within
the
residential
code.
A
So
the
euro-
this
is
this-
is
no
there's
no
work
involved,
you're
asking
to
legalize
an
existing
condition.
Yes,
sir,
how
is
it
being
used
now.
AR
You
know
I
mean
it's
it's
shown
as
a
bedroom,
so
we
probably
use
it
as
a
bedroom.
So
there's.
A
A
stairwell
connecting
to
the
first
floor.
AR
A
AR
There
are
three
tenants
in
the
building
right
now
in
the
in
the
unit,
rather
right
now,
so
there
are
three
people
living
there
and
we're
not
occupying
the
space.
We
put
a
lock
on
the
door
per
the
urgent
of
the
inspector
and
we
just
went
through
to
legalize
it,
and
so
that's
it.
Okay.
A
Okay,
so,
mr
robinson,
the
usual
set
of
questions
for
teen,
it
does
look
like
the
topography
of
the
site
is
sloped,
and
if
the
bedroom
is
in
the
rear,
it
seems
like
it's
almost
a
walkout.
Is
that
correct?
That's.
Q
A
Okay,
any
questions
on
the
board.
Is
there
anyone
to
testify
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
AS
Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
patrick
fandale,
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
The
applicant
notified
all
abutters
of
this
request
and
no
concerns
were
raised.
Thank
you.
U
E
P
Mr
chair
kyle
smith,
for
the
proponent,
is
also
going
to
call.
Are
you
deferring,
sir?
What
is
the
request
reason
for
the
request
to
defer.
A
P
No
sir,
we
have
submitted
one
set
of
plans
to
isc.
If
there
is
confusion
there,
we
can
certainly
defer
to
eliminate
it,
but
we
have
submitted
one
set
of
plans,
and
that
is
what
we
believe
is
being
presented
before
you
today,
sir.
A
Those
in
favor
aye,
aye,
aye,
aye
aye
opposed
okay,
make
please
to
the
applicant
make
sure
that
you
get
when
that
we
have
it
come
up
in
a
day
that
the
architect
has
an
opportunity
to
review
the
plans.
P
A
E

AU
Hello,
mr
chairman,
and
members
of
board,
this
is
mike
ross
with
business
address
of
one
international
place
at
prince
lobel.
I'm
joined
here
with
the
principal
of
union
twist
inc,
marie
st
fleur,
as
well
as
our
security
consultant
dan
linsky.
AU
This
is
the
foreign
body
auto
building
over
at
the
corner
of
lincoln
and
cambridge
street
in
in
austin,
it's
in
a
ns1
neighborhood
shopping
sub
district,
which
is
allowed
by
conditional
use
permit
for
cannabis
establishment
for
the
use.
It's
a
9,
000
square
foot,
building
we're
not
proposing
any
additions
to
it.
AU
AU
That
is
there
today
and
the
same
curb
cut
that's
there
today,
because
its
previous
use
was
actually
you
know.
Automobile
and
there'll
be
room
for
11
spaces
within
the
building
and
then,
when
you
exit
you're,
going
to
exit
out
of
the
existing
bay
off
the
rear
of
the
building,
and
that
will
then
allow
you
to
exit
onto
empire
street,
which
is
a
one-way
street
that
points
away
from
the
existing
neighborhood.
AU
AU
So
it's
a
much
smaller
retail
area,
the
there's
one
entrance
for
the
customers
and
then
there's
a
separate
entrance
for
security.
You
know
through
the
same
main
lobby
entrance.
The
hours
of
operations
that
are
proposed
here
are
from
9
00
a.m,
to
8
p.m.
Seven
days
a
week,
there's
additional
landscaping
and
bicycle
area
for
people
and
pedestrians
to
encourage
non-vehicular
access
to
the
building.
In
the
the
other
plan
and
there's
some
elevations
that
you
can
look
through
here.
AU
The
other
plan
is
to
just
maintain
the
existing
signage
on
the
building,
obviously
subject
to
bbda
design
review
to
change
those
signs
accordingly
to
to
use
the
signage
of
the
union
twist.
AU
AU
There
was
originally
a
fire
door
exit
door
closer
to
the
residential
area
and
we
wound
up
moving
that
to
the
lincoln
street
side,
so
that
there's
absolutely
nothing
on
the
east
elevation
near
the
and
on
the
and
on
the
elevations
that
have
but
the
neighborhood
or
the
residential
area.
We've
been
working
very
closely
with
this
particular
community.
Maybe
I'll
pause
there,
mr
chair,
and
see
if
there
are
any
questions.
A
So
this
has
more
parking
than
the
typical
canada's
establishment,
how
many
spaces
underground
and
how
many
surface
part
spaces.
AU
They're
all
surface
it's
funny
there
used
to.
There
is
underground
in
the
existing
structure.
We
will
wind
up
discontinuing
the
underground
space
and
just
decking
over
the
top
of
that,
so
that
we'll
be
able
to
fit
a
total
of
11,
as
well
as
the
the
delivery.
A
AU
Entrance
right,
yeah
and
you
can
see
it
on
the
elevation
as
well,
but
the
site
plan
is
is
just
as
good
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen.
That's
lincoln
street
yeah,
so
you'd
enter
right
there
in
that
lower
left-hand
corner
where
the
arrows
are
through
the
existing
bay
there
there
used
to
be-
or
there
is
today.
If
we
went
there,
there's
a
ramp
that
goes
into
the
basement
of
this
building.
Yes,.
AU
We'll
get
rid
of
that
ramp,
we're
going
to
decode
for
that
and
we'll
just
make
it
one
floor,
yeah
yeah
and
then,
when
you
go
in
you
go
out
and
you
come.
AU
I
I
really
don't
think
we're
going
to
do
anything
down
in
the
basement.
I
think
it
will
be
discontinued.
We
didn't
show
it
in
the
plans
you're
going
to
have
to
deck
over
it
we're
renting
the
building.
So
if
presumably,
we
ever
have
to
turn
this
back
to
the
landlord
we'll
have
to
figure
out
what
to
do
with
the
basement,
maybe
restore
it
to
its
current
condition.
Okay,.
A
AU
Yes,
yeah
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
we're
seeing
about
50
online
ordering
because
there's
just
such
a
variety
of
product
and
the
customer
really
wants
to
know
and
if
they
don't
have
it
at
one
store,
they're
going
to
go
to
another
store
and
then
you're,
seeing
so
many
stores
proliferate
this
area
that
the
number
is
dropping
of
people
per
store
to
probably
around
the
200
number.
Now
what
we're
seeing
in
the
industry,
mr
truman,
okay,.
A
Are
there
any
questions
on
the
board?
Is
there
anyone
here
to
testify
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
AV
AV
We
conducted
the
city
run
public
meeting
on
february
6th
of
2019,
but
subsequently
since
then,
the
applicant
has
been
a
number
of
times
with
the
austin
civic
association
and
also
conducted
their
own
meetings
with
residents
using
multiple
different
languages
to
ensure
that
they
were
reaching
everyone.
We
think
that
this
is
an
appropriate
location.
It's
close
to
two
bus
lines,
also
not
a
far
walk
from
harvard
square.
I
used
to
live
in
the
area.
We
think
it's
gonna
be
a
great
opportunity
to
create
jobs
for
local
people
in
this
part
of
the
neighborhood.
AV
A
AU
The
closest
it
clears
all
buffers,
there
are
no
buffers.
The
closest
facility
would
be
the
honen
library,
probably
close
to
a
thousand
square
feet,
a
thousand
feet
away,
and
then
you
know
maybe
the
the
man,
the
the
man
school,
probably
close,
to
two
thousand
three
thousand
feet
away.
AU
I'm
well
over
half
a
mile,
mr
chair,
I'm
actually
I'm
trying
to
think
right
now
and
I
do
think
we
actually
did
provide
some
buffer
images
for
you.
You
could
probably
see
it
if
you
want
to
pull
it
out,
but
but
well
over
half
a
mile,
mr
chair,
okay,
okay.
E
Chair
before
that
sorry
jessica,
we
have
three
letters
of
opposition
and
one
letter
of
support.
E
Opposition
young
children
in
the
neighborhood
presidential,
dense
residential
area,
hona
library,
that's
basically
what
was
coming
up.
Okay,.
I
AW
Me,
yes,
my
name
is
kelly
moss.
I
live
on
21
wormwood
in
south
boston,
so
this
is
my
community
we're
talking
about.
I
just
wanted
to
speak
very
quickly
about.
AW
I
AX
Yes,
good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
tony
desadoro,
representing
the
austin
civic
association.
This
has
been
a
tough
one
for
us.
The
proponents
have
been
before
the
community
for
a
little
over
two
years
now
and
based
on
the
consensus
of
the
membership
of
the
association.
AX
No
clear
consensus
was
established
either
way,
those
in
opposition
basically
categorized
their
opposition
into
three
areas:
location,
parking
and
traffic
and,
with
your
indulgence,
I'll
talk
real
quick
about
each
three
of
all
three
on
the
traffic
side.
As
you
know,
there
is
a
considerable
development
planned
in
the
north
austin
north
brighton,
cambridge
street
corridor.
AX
That
traffic
is
only
going
to
get
worse
the
proponents
to
their
credit,
listen
to
the
community
and
from
their
initial
proposal
and
decided
to
change
it
to
have
access
from
cambridge
street
on
to
lincoln
street.
But
there
are
still
ongoing
concerns.
It's
a
very
compressed
imperfection
there
in
front
of
the
building,
and
there
are
still
concerns
that,
with
all
this
development
and
people
coming
on
and
off
the
mass
turnpike
that
this
will
simply
make
situations
make
the
situation
even
worse.
AX
In
terms
of
the
location,
it
needs
to
be
said
that
this
that
this
location
directly
above
a
family-oriented
immigrant
population,
if
you've
seen
any
of
the
pictures
of
the
site,
you'll
see
these
roll
houses
directly
beside
the
establishment.
AX
I
did
get
a
call
from
a
direct
butter
this
morning
expressing
a
lot
of
people.
There
feel
kind
of
powerless
they
they.
You
know
they're
willing
to
put
up
with
it
if
they
have
to,
but
they're,
not
jumping
up
and
down
about
the
possibility
of
having
a
cannabis,
dispensary
right
next
door
to
their
home,
where
a
lot
of
their
small
children
live
so
okay,
so
that
is.
AY
Yes,
good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
boulder
city
council,
this
is
victor
su
and
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
255
in
253
cambridge
street,
and
this
represents
the
six
families
that
abut
and
will
live
next
to
the
proposed
union
twist
project,
and
so
thanks
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
after
speaking
with
just
all
the
families.
You
know
they
are
in
strong
opposition
for
several
reasons-
and
I
was
highlight
too
and
tony
was
able
to.
AY
You-
know
speak
on
behalf
of
of
some
of
this,
but
you
know
first,
you
know
this
is
a
very
residential
majority.
Immigrant
neighborhood,
you
know
the
neighborhood's,
vibrant,
with
school-aged
children.
There's
children
running
around
in
the
alley
behind
the
building
around
the
building
in
front
of
it
and
the
project
will
introduce.
You
know
to
put
frankly
wheat
smokers
that
will
introduce
crime,
strong,
odors,
vagrancy
and
then
interactions
with
you
know
the
the
children
there
and
the
families.
A
We
understand
so
I
think
tony
made
the
point
that
we
we
understand
the
concern
about
being
in
a
residential
neighborhood.
Is
there
anything
else.
AY
AY
The
second
is
just
the
the
parking,
so
you
know
it's
already
impossible
to
find
parking
in
the
neighborhood.
Sometimes
you
know
you're
driving
around
for
hours
and
there
aren't
any
real,
affordable
parking
options
that
are
paid
in
the
area.
The
the
addition
of
twists,
adding
thousands
of
new
visitors
a
day.
AY
You
know
recommend
that
they
reduce
the
the
retail
footprint,
but
there's
an
assumption
that
a
reduction
of
the
footprint
is
going
to
decrease
the
number
of
clientele
and
that's
a
false
assumption.
Okay,.
A
Okay:
okay,
okay,
we
got
you
folks,
so
there's
the
proximity
in
the
residential
neighborhood
of
an
immigrant
community
and
the
issue
of
parking
and
density
mr
ross
can
can
either
you
or
the
security
or
any
of
the
other
proponents
who
are
here.
Talk
about
the
issue
of
security
and
how
to
keep
people
who
are
purchasers
of
the
product
from
impacting
the
neighborhood.
How
you
intend
to
handle
that?
Yes,.
AU
We
can
mr
erlang,
mr
chairman,
we
we
have
traded
multiple,
good
neighbor
agreements
with
mr
sioux
that
included
removing
the
emergency
exit,
providing
cameras
outside
allowing
them
to
monitor
their
own
cameras
to
audit
that
we're
going
to
do
what
we
say
we're
going
to
do.
I
thought
we
were
very
close
to
an
agreement,
but
I
think
that
there
is
definitely
a
stigma
associated
with
the
proposed
use.
AU
I
I
we
have
that
diane
linski's
on
the
call,
as
well
he's
looked
at
the
good
neighbor
agreement,
and
I
think
you
can
hear
in
the
comments
that
we've
really
come
a
long
way
with
this
community.
Notwithstanding
the
underlying
concern
about
the
proposed
use,
the
previous
use.
Here,
it
was
an
automobile
use
with
additional
bays
and
entrances.
AU
I
think
two
additional
bayesian
entrances
they
had
cars
going
in
and
out
every
all
day
parking
on
the
sidewalk,
we're
going
to
landscape
the
area,
we're
going
to
only
have
11
internal
cars,
we're
shrinking
the
the
footprint
of
the
site.
If
you
will
so,
we
are
addressing
the
issues
that
are
raised,
there
will
be
people.
A
AU
A
Okay.
The
motion
passes
mr
ross.
I
would
really
strongly
encourage
you
to
continue
just
because
you
got
approval
to
not
ease
up
on
the
notion
of
a
good
neighbor
agreement
and
continue
to
try
to
allay
the
fears
of
the
abutters
understood.
Mr
trump,
mr.
E
AZ
I
BA
E
E
If
we
grant
this,
this
would
be
the
second
extension,
the
name
and
address
of
the
record.
BB
BB
BB
The
proponent
is
an
individual
who's
on
this
building's
families
on
the
billing
for
many
years,
who
simply
has
not
been
asked
during
the
carbon
crisis,
has
restarted
this
required.
The
first
extension
was
due
to
the
fact
that
it
required
some
re-engineering,
because
one
prohibition
going
on
the
building
that
slowed
down
that
approval
process
he's
in
the
process
now
actually
requesting
a
demolition
permit
and
proceeding
with
the
approvals
of
the
revised
player.
So
we
would
ask
that
we
have
one
additional
extension
of
the
speed
of
light.
A
Okay,
so
so
mr
farrell
is
we,
you
know,
as
you
know,
we're
reluctant
to
give
multiple
extensions,
but
is
it
your
assumption
that,
with
a
another
say
one
year
extension
that
they
could
they
could
move
forward
on
the
pro?
And
we
wouldn't
hear
from
you
again.
BB
I
I
definitely
think
so,
and
it's
noted
like
if
the
board
decides
to
make
this
the
last
extension
there'd
be
no
objection.
A
E
A
So
it's
now
11
17..
Let's
take
a
five
minute
break,
so
we
start
again
at
11.
A
B
A
Okay,
I
think
I
see
all
of
the
our
board
members.
Mr
fortune,
should
we
go
ahead
with
the
11
o'clock
hearings?
We.

Mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
doug
stephanov
architect,
representing
the
owner
of
the
building,
as
well
as
the
proponent
pedro
morales.
Dear
all,
thank
you
very
much
for
hearing
us
today.
We
come
before
you
with
a
request
to
add
some
living
space
to
the
back
of
the
building
and
extend
and
build
the
decks
and
the
back
up
higher.
We
did
leaflet
the
area
did
community
review.
We
had
two
successful
presentations
to
the
eagle
hill,
civic
association
to
which
they
approved
the
project.
BC
It's
a
fairly
small.
The
owner
is
also
incorporating
some
improvements
to
the
backyard
if
you'd
like,
I
could
share
my
screen
if
you'd
like
or
I'm
sure
we
can
go
further
on
in
the
set.
A
BC
So
what
is
it
currently?
A
deck?
On
the
first
floor,
we'd
like
to
enclose
to
become
living
space,
the
owner
lives
on
the
first
floor,
so
it's
approximately
150
square
feet.
Let's
call
that,
as
new
area
on
the
first
floor,
they'll
rebuild
the
decks
on
the
back
that
are
above
that
which
are
in
need
of
repair
and
adding
an
additional
deck
on
the
top,
which
is
where
the
height
violation
comes
in
this
the
building
is
currently
non-conforming
in
far
so.
This
little
increase,
of
course,
requires
relief
for
floor
area
ratio.
BC
Investing
large
plans
next
now
those
are
decks
down.
The
staircase
there's
a
elevation
on
the
side
showing
the
decks
rebuilt
and
the
new
deck
on
the
top,
no
change
to
the
front.
So
there's
no
change
to
the
streetscape
next,
please.
BC
Those
are
the
rear
view.
This
the
sight
is
ascending
to
the
back.
That's
the
tail
end
of
eagle
hill.
So
there's
about
a
eight
nine
foot
grade
change
in
the
back
for
the
next
street
and
then
the
hill
continues
up.
BC
I'm
informed
that
the
client
has
now
successfully
purchased
the
land
behind
him
from
the
city
which
is
currently
in
development.
BC
Interesting
structural
drawings,
that's
the
project.
A
A
Okay,
so
the
only
completely
new
deck
is
on
the
roof
which,
as
he
continues,
the
stairway
is
continuing
up
to
that
level.
Okay,
and
is
there
any
other
work
being
contemplated
as
far
as
this
proposal.
A
Okay,
all
right
is
there:
a
site
plan
collect
yeah,
okay,
yeah,
yeah,
okay,.
BC
Q
The
plans
are
fine,
I,
it
would
be
great
if
mr
stavanov
could
just
quickly
which
I
probably
not
in
our
purview.
But
could
you
just
please
explain
the
basement
unit.
As
you
know,
the
the
board
is
not
in
love
with
basement
units.
I
understand
there's
an
existing
condition,
but
it's
an
far
issue
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
guess
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
This
is
safe
and
I'm
just
looking
at
it,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
understand
that.
BC
A
Well,
well,
that's
not
usually
what
our
concern
is,
as
mr
robinson's
pointing
out,
as
you
know,
mr
stefanov
we're
concerned
about
below
grade
living
space.
So
what's
the
relationship
of
the
basement,
I
I
recognize
that
this
is
the
pre-existing
and,
as
mr
robinson
said,
not
necessarily
in
our
purview,
but
I'm
curious
as
to
what
the
relationship
is
of
the
basement
floor
to
the
great.
BC
Q
A
A
A
From
the
board,
is
there
anybody
here
to
testify
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
S
Good
morning,
mr
chairman
members

boarding
attorney

tremendous
mayor's
office
of

services,
we
would
like

proposal

proposal
receives

support

from

abaras.

J
Good
morning,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
richard
lim's,
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
of
asberg
llc,
beth
mcdougall,
the
architect
for
the
project
is
also
with
me.
Probably
easiest
thing
to
do
is
jump
right
to
the
street
view
to
take
a
quick
look
at
these
row
houses.
This
is
perfect
right
here,
mr
chairman,
this
is
located
in
the
mfr
district,
multi-family
residential,
which,
which
we
are
proposing
and
is,
would
be
an
allowed
use.
J
The
unit
is
in
the
lower
level,
however,
this
not
unlike
others
that
we've
done
for
adjoining
properties
here,
has
a
full
walk
out
to
the
rear
and
a
sub
basement,
underneath
that
so
probably
the
best
way
to
approach
us
to
look
at
the
rear
portion
of
the
building.
If
we
could
just
move
down
to
the
next
slide
or
so.
O
J
Perfect,
so
we're
seeing
here
is
the
rear
portion
of
the
building,
which
does,
as
I
expressed,
is
above
actual
the
rear
grade
of
the
property.
There
is
a
sub
basement
below
that
the
floor
to
ceiling
height
for
this
level
is
over
eight
feet,
and
I
would
also,
I
think,
if
you
jump
to
the
next
slide
as
well,
it
shows
the
location
of
windows
for
that
levels.
J
Perfect,
so
typically,
while
that
lower
level
would
be
below
the
grade
of
gradient
sheet
is
above
grade
again
for
the
back
portion
of
the
property
and
our
floor
plan,
and
the
layout
of
our
floor
plan
has
taken
into
account
the
full
access
for
these
windows
and
for
the
ability
to
use
those
as
proper
egress
windows
anger.
The
next
slide,
please.
J
So
just
our
section
plan
showing
again
the
sub
basement
that
is
below
the
basement
level,
is
about
five
feet,
ten
inches
and
then
the
basement
level,
which
we're
proposing
for
the
additional
unit
is
eight
feet,
four
inches.
So
more
than
enough
that
is
required
in
the
building
code.
Next
slide,
please.
J
So
our
proposed
plan
shows
this
is
a
two
bedroom.
There
is
sufficient
egress
out
the
rear,
as
well
as
the
front
of
the
building,
and
then
where
we
are
proposing
bedrooms,
we
do
have
the
windows
which
comply
with
the
egress
requirements
under
the
building
code.
So,
although
I
understand
the
board's
position
when
it
comes
to
low-grade
units,
this
based
upon
its
location
on
meridian
street
and
the
slopes
between
meridian
and
border
street,
this
actually
is
pretty
much
above
grade
towards
the
rear
portion
of
the
building
excellent.
J
So
that
might
actually
be
the
last
slide.
So
with
respect
to
the
relief,
that's
necessary.
As
I
said,
this
is
in
the
mfr
district
and
therefore
multi-family
four
units
is
allowed
as
a
matter
of
right.
The
relief
that
we
require
relates
to
the
floor-to-ear
ratio.
J
The
additional
space
which
already
exists,
which
would
otherwise
be
storage
or
basement
space,
is
the
space
that's
being
converted.
We
request
a
variance
for
that
and
then
the
additional
unit
would
trigger
a
requirement
for
one
additional
parking
space
and
again,
the
existing
units
do
not
have
any
parking.
Presently.
This
is
located
on
the
bus
line
and
we
feel
that
the
impact
from
trying
to
create
additional
off-street
parking
for
this
certainly
isn't
outweighed
by
the
variance
that's
being
proposed.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Mr
chairman,.
A
For
all
of
the
units,
above
that's
correct,
and
what,
when
what
would
happen
with
storage
for
them?
If
this
were
to
be
approved,
I.
J
Think
we
still
have
a
little
bit
of
space
we
want
to.
If
we
can
jump
back
to
that
floor
plan,
we
do
a
little
space
in
the
area
for
storage
and
this
is
a
rental
building.
So
this
is
not
intended
to
be
sold
as
additional
as
individual
condo
units,
so
the
storage
is
more
of
a
convenience
and
not
necessarily
something
that's
pertinent
to
the
units.
A
Okay,
it
would
help
it
would
have
been
helpful
on
that
slide
with
the
proposed
site
and
section
plan
on
this.
I
understand
that
this
is
like
many
projects
that
we
deal
with.
A
That
has
a
sloping
topography,
but
it
you
know
you
show
the
the
show
the
elevation,
the
sections
from
the
sub
basement
in
the
basement
floor
to
ceiling
and
that's
helpful,
but
there
there's
nothing
shown
in
relation
to
grade,
and
I
understand
that
the
back
part
you
know
it's
slightly
of
upgrade
and
toward
the
front
part
it's
below
grade,
but
it's,
but
from
these
plans
at
least,
maybe
mr
robinson
can
say
different,
but
I
can't
tell
where
what
is
what,
where,
where
what's
below
grade,
what's
not
how
much
etc.
J
I
can
I
may
be
able
to
get
a
little
bit
of
light.
Mr
chairman,
if
you
look
at
the
bedroom,
that's
closest
to
the
front
portion,
maybe
almost
a
midway
back
on
the
right
side,
where
it
shows
proposed
plan,
it
does
show
egress
as
the
window.
J
That
is
the
point
in
the
photo
that
I
showed
you
that
is
well
above
the
grade
of
the
rear
portion
of
the
property.
So
the
grade
does
drop
dramatically
towards
border
street.
I
would
suggest,
probably
somewhere
about
an
eighth
to
maybe
a
quarter
of
the
way
back
from
the
front
portion
of
the
building.
A
Q
J
Good
question,
mr
jerry:
there
is
the
available,
I
believe,
other
other
joining
properties
have
access
to
parking,
we're
not
proposing
any
parking
back
there.
That's
a
separate
use
of
premise
department.
We
feel
that's
a
little
too
congested
for
parking
behind
this
property.
Also,
that
provides
the
required
needs
of
egress
to
a
public
way
which
would
egress
out
onto
the
public
way
to
the
right
of
the
property,
so
we're
not
proposing
to
use
that
for
parking,
but
there
is
access
to
the
real
portion
of
the
property.
J
A
F
If
you
look
at,
if
you
look
at
a
aerial
view
of
the
property,
there's
a
there's,
cars
parked
directly
behind
the
building.
J
The
right
of
us,
mr
chairman,
is
a
very
large
multi-family
apartment.
Building
to
the
left
of
us
are
similar
rojo
style
buildings,
where
we've
also
converted
to
lower
levels.
A
Okay,
any
other
questions
on
the
board
is
anyone
here
to
testify
on
behalf
of
the
proposal.
S
T
E
U
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair
yeah.
We
recommend
the
denial
on
this
because
of
the
bedroom
in
the
basement.
We
understand
that
there

More

draws
on

context,
variety

styles
that
are
represented
on

g-cod
applicability

we
do
have
our
article

letter
from
bossa
martin
sure
in
the
no
harm
letter.
Would
you
like
to
address
that
issue.
A
First,
let's,
let's
take
your
first
question:
are
you
one.
BI
A
BH
With
respect
to
the
merits
of
the
project,
the
proposal
is
to
construct
a
new
seven-story
seven-year
building.
There
will
be
five
one-bedroom
units,
one
two
bedroom
unit
and
one
three
bedroom
unit
which
this
applicant
will
occupy
as
an
owner
occupied
residence
for
his
family.
They
live
in
the
neighborhood
and
will
specifically
move
into
the
penthouse
unit,
which
is
two
and
a
half
floors
at
the
top
of
the
building
for
the
owner,
occupant,
no
residential
use
in
the
basement
level.
There's
one
parking
space
shown
in
the
back
of
the
building.
BH
BH
BH
BH
The
usable
open
space
requirement
is
100
square
feet
per
dwelling
unit.
We
have
included
a
small
balcony
at
the
rear
of
the
building
for
most
of
the
units.
Five
of
the
seven
units
have
a
little
rear
balcony
in
the
back
of
the
building
to
provide
some
usable
open
space.
Lastly,
is
rear
yard.
Insufficiency
20
is
the
code
requirement.
However,
this
is
a
narrow
lot,
so
the
narrow
lot
exception
applies.
11
6
would
be
required
and
we're
providing
eight
since.
A
Okay,
I'm
not
sure
what
that
was.
So,
let's
ask
a
few
questions.
Yes,
what
are
the
size
of
the
units.
BH
Right
and
part
of
the
design
concept
incorporated
into
this
proposal
with
the
common
amenity
space
on
the
ground
floor,
the
large
bike,
storage
room
mirror
the
compact
unit
policy,
but
technically
the
compact
unit
policy
only
applies
to
buildings
with
10
or
more
units.
So
we
didn't
specifically
proceed
under
that
process.
A
No,
I
understand,
but
if
you're
not
proceeding
under
that
process,
then
these
are
some.
Then
these
are
you
know
below
the
typical
requirements
of
the
are
these
studios?
One
bedroom,
one
of
them
400
square
feet,
is
small.
BH
It
is
small
they're
they're,
cleverly
designed
one
bedrooms
and
if
you'd
like
mr
hayden,
could
weigh
in
on
the
design
concepts,
but
it's
also
a
really
small
lot.
It's
a
1600
square
foot
lot
and
very
narrow,
so
it
has
been
designed
with
those
concepts
in
mind.
It's
also
a
very
high
energy,
efficient
type
building
with
cross-eliminated
timber
construction,
yeah.
A
Okay,
all
right,
that's
all!
That's
fine!
I'm
I'm
focused
on
the
size
of
the
units
right
now,
so
it's
typically
again
and
even
though
it's
not
the
10
units.
Typically,
when
they're,
when
the
city
policy
has
been
there's
a
substandard
unit,
size,
then
that
that's
accommodated
by
community
space
amenity
space.
So
could
you
describe
what
the
space
would
get
used
for?
I
mean
I'm
looking
at
the
ground
floor,
floor
plan
and
yeah
there's
a
big
chunk
donated
to
parking
there's,
not
a
lot
of
other.
BH
A
You've
got
two
work,
pod
units,
basically
that
are
dedicated
to
the
building,
and
how
does
that
work?
What
are
they
used
for
and
how
do
people
get
access.
A
A
Okay,
so
how
do
people
get
access
to
the
work
by
the
sign
up
times?
How
does
that
happen.
BH
Patrick,
do
you
want
to
wait?
You
know
that
I
don't
think
that
was
kind
of
microsoft.
AK
Yeah
we
would
use
a
software
co-working
software
called
cobot,
where
people
can
use
the
internet
to
basically
reserve
it
and
use
their
phones
to
access
the
spaces.
AK
Our
office
building,
where
I'm
at
now
is
set
up
in
that
manner
and
that's
how
we
would
share
it
also
with
the
fenway
and
the
neighbors
the
residents
of
the
building.
I
guess
I'd
also
like
to
point
out
that
the
narrowness
of
the
lot
and
the
requirements
structurally
to
position
the
cores
where
they
are
sort
of
lend
to
dividing
the
floor
on
those
two
floors
to
two
units.
It
would
make
an
awkward,
an
awkward
one
unit
so
so
where
the
cores
are
shown
are
sort
of
where
they're
required
to
be
structural.
A
Okay,
all
right,
I
all
right.
AF
N
AF
N
A
Small
can.
A
Yeah.
Okay,
let
me
let
me
move
on
to
another
question
before
I
ask
mr
robinson
to
win,
I
understand
from
a
contemporary
design,
it's
in
the
middle
of
somebody's.
Someone
has
been
back,
you
know
you
they'll,
be
yeah.
Thank
you
whatever,
whoever
that
was
there's
it,
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
rose
between
two
thorns
or
how
I'm
gonna
describe,
but
it
certainly
seems
to
be
the
the
contemporary
design
does
not
seem
to
be
consistent
with
the
context
curious.
What
you
think
about
that.
Q
Made
my
position
clear
on
contemporary
design
today,
but
you
know
I.
BF
Q
You
know
I
did
look
at
the
context
of
it.
Obviously,
there's
there
are
much
larger
buildings
around
it
is.
It
is
a
very
thin
site.
I
can
appreciate
the
complexity
of
trying
to
meet
all
the
code
requirements
for
egress
and
and
sort
of
accessibility
in
this
sort
of
thin
moment.
So
you
know,
I
think
that
design
review
would
be
warranted
with
the
bpda,
but
I
you
know
I
understand,
there's
some
challenges
associated
with
the
size
of
the
units.
However,
it
will
be
a
new
building.
Q
I
appreciate
the
one
slide
in
terms
of
its
sustainability
approach.
I
think
that's
something
that
we
aren't
seeing
enough
of
in
the
city
these
days,
and
I
think
this
is
something
is
this.
Is
this
going
through?
The
a
passive
house
design
process?
Is
that
what
this
is?
Q
AK
AK
I
A
AB
Good
afternoon
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
joe
carpenter,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we'd
like
to
go
and
record
and
support
this
proposal.
We
have
received
a
number
of
letters
of
support
from
director
butters,
as
well
as
local
neighborhood
associations
that
should
be
on
the
record
board.
Thank
you,
mr.
A
Okay,
anybody
else.
L
A
Okay,
okay,
first
first,
let
me
see
if
there
are
any
other
elected
officials
who
who
want
to
speak
no.
E
Mr
chair,
before
mr
singal
speaks,
we
do
have
letters
of
opposition
and
we
do
have
a
few
letters
of
support
and
the
opposition,
basically
is
the
size
of
the
building
density
office
space
and
mr
singal
is
an
owner.
I
believe
that's
what
he's
speaking
of
building
behind
it.
A
Okay,
mr
single,
would
you
put
your
name
and
address
on
the
record
and
then
let
us
know
the
reason
for
your
opposition.
L
L
I
realize
that
fanbase
cdc
contractors
and
office
workers
park
in
that
alley,
but
that
hinders
a
fire
ambulance
people
from
getting
in
there
in
case
of
an
emergency.
Okay,
okay,.
L
So
the
whole
proposal
is
is
going
to
make
the
neighborhood
non-homogeneous.
I
mean
it's
a
nice
neighborhood
of
victorian
houses,
making
a
contemporary
building
that's
seven-story
high
in
a
four-story
neighborhood.
I
think,
destroys
the
character
and
ambiance
of
that
neighborhood.
L
A
All
right,
so
we
have,
we
have
that
parking
density
and
historical
context
and
design.
Thank
you
very
much.
Anybody
else
testified.
Q
Can
I
can
I
just
ask
for
one,
mr,
mr
chairman,
can
I
ask
for
one
clarification
and
I'm
sorry
if
I
missed
this,
can
we
just
confirm
the
zoning
relief
needed
for
this
project?
I
don't
think
we
went
through
the.
BH
Yep
so
g-cod,
which
we've
covered
off-street
parking,
insufficient
a
use
of
violation
for
the
proposed
office
space
on
the
street
level
and
then
three
dimensional
requirements,
far
excessive
usable,
open
space
and
rear
yard.
Insufficient.
BH
BH
AA
F
I
mean
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve,
with
bpda
design
review,
to
give
some
look
at
the
the
floor
plans
and
the
layouts
and
the
size
of
the
units.
A
All
those
in
favor
all
right,
okay,
I'm
opposed,
but
the
motion
passes.
Thank
you.
E
I'm
gonna
call
the
next
case
calling
voa
115-1392-2222
castleton
street.
This
is
a
change
of
offers
from
a
two
to
a
three

residential
building
and
creation
of
a
new
third

unit

E
AB
BH
BH
BH
BH
BH
That
is
the
gist
of
the
proposal.
There
are
some
other
slides
that
show
neighborhood
context
which
inspired
the
the
idea.
There
are
lots
of
dormers,
both
doghouse
style
in
the
front
and
shed
dormers
on
the
side
on
other
buildings
in
the
immediate
vicinity
and
anita
did
a
great
job
talking
to
all
of
her
neighbors
and
going
to
all
of
the
associations
and
representing
all
the
reasons
that
she
wants
to
stay
in
her
house
and
create
a
unit
for
herself
on
the
third
floor.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Do
we
have
slides
on
there
contact
says
that
was
my
question
in
terms
of
the
height
the
height
variance.
Is
this
going
to
stick
out
like
a
sore
thumb
in
terms
of
no.
BH
No,
I'm
not
sure
that
the
the
the
package
with
the
context
photos
but
the
buildings
immediately
to
the
left
and
the
right
of
her
building
have
dormers.
There
was
at
least
a
dozen
photos
showing
the
context
of
this
particular
neighborhood
with
lots
of
dormers.
So
it
is
very
much
consistent
with
what
a
lot
of
other
folks
have
done
and
inspired
her
idea.
In
fact,
and
here's
the
rear,
rear
scare
enclosure
shown
in
the
back
and
working
with
the
neighborhood.
There
were
some.
A
Okay,
how
are
the
drawings,
mr
robinson,.
Q
They
don't
appear
to
rise
above
the
main
ridge,
as
this
one
does
and
I'm
not
sure
exactly
the
need
for
that.
If
it's
just
a
head
height
issue
or
not,
but
it's
a
little
different.
But
there
is
consistency
in
some
respect,
but
it's
a
little
bit
different.
BH
And
and
mr
robinson,
I
think
that
that
item
is
well
suited
for
design
review,
because
the
jamaica
pond
association
had
the
same
issue
and
we
in
fact
presented
a
drawing
which
showed
that
a
portion
of
the
dormer
was
reduced
to
match
the
roof
line
in
the
front
and
be
less
visible.
So
we
would
be
amenable
to
having
that
specifically
included
as
part
of
the
design
review,
as
as
it
was
addressed.
A
N
We
recommend
it
to
now
because
of
the
use
because,
it's
mostly
I'd,
say
95,
if
not
more
one
or
two
families
on
that
street-
and
you
know
the
zoning
goes
with
the
property.
So
this
would
be
a
three
family.
I
think
there
might
be
one
other
three
family
on
the
street,
so
we're
not
opposed
to
the
dormer
edition.
We're
opposed
to
the
use.
A
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
Any
questions
on
the
board
is
there.
Anyone
who
wants
to
testify
in
favor
of
the
project.
AP
Yes,
good
afternoon,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
lindsay
santana
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
and
the
butters
meeting
was
held
on
december
17
2020,
where
the
neighbors
were
supportive
of
the
proposal.
The
applicant
received
non-opposition
from
the
jamaica
pond
association
and
also
received
a
support
from
the
jamaica
plain
neighborhood
council.
So
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.
AQ
Good
afternoon,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
peter
burrito
from
defeat
counselor
matt
o'malley's
office,
the
counselor
at
all
selected
on
record
support.
Thank
you.
E
AQ
I
BJ
BJ
We've
had
a
number
of
neighbors
who
have
all
been
in
support
of
the
project.
We
think
it's
wonderful
to
add
living
space,
even
if
that
is
beyond
the
two-family
limit
in
the
neighborhood,
because
living
space
is
in
such
short
supply.
It's
particularly
valuable
if
it
allows
anita
to
stay
in
her
home
by
just
moving
upstairs
and
stay
in
the
neighborhood
she's
a
valued
neighbor,
and
this
would
be
a
great
living
space
for
her.
BJ
We
think
all
those
zoning
and
use
restrictions
are
much
less
important
than
that
human
concern,
which
is
allowing
a
neighbor
to
stay
in
the
neighborhood
and
in
our
building.
So
we
would
strongly
urge
you
to
support
the
project
and
not
let
the
the
rules
get
in
the
way
of
what
looks
like
a
great
development.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
thank
you
for
your
testimony,
just
to
make
the
point
that,
as
we
always
make,
which
is
that
the
decisions
go
with
the
property
and
not
with
the
individual.
So,
regardless
of
a
sympathy
for
the
situation,
we
need
to
respond
to
to
the
property
itself
and
what
will
happen
in
the
future.
I
I
A
We
need
to-
I
just
saw
in
the
chat
about
that.
We
need
to.
We
need
to
address
that,
but
let's
finish
this
case.
First,
okay,
can
I
have
a
motion
please.
Q
I'll
make
a
motion
to
support
with
bpda
design
review,
specifically
looking
at
the
the
height
of
the
dormer
and
the
edition.
U
Excuse
me,
I
know
I'm
out
of
line.
Can
I
put
council
wassabi
georgie's
name
in
support
of
this
project.
Please
thank
you.
A
Okay,
all
right,
mr
robinson
made
a
motion:
is
there
a
second
I'll?
Second,
all
those
in
favor
hi,
all
right
all
opposed.
BA
A
I
Yes,
so
there
was
also
emails
coming
in
from
people
who
were
trying
to
get
access,
so
I've
been
trying
to
manage
a
couple
of
sites
here,
but
I
I
did
once
I
saw
that
I
wanted
to
make
sure
they
would
acknowledge.
As
you
know,
what.
A
Okay,
I
you
know,
I
really
wish
we
I
I
I
mean.
I
think
there
were
some
problems
with
that
with
that
proposal,
and
I
really
wish
we
had
gotten
additional
testimony,
but
on
what
we
have
acted
and
we
did
vote
and
we
voted
in
favor
and
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
to
make
sure
that
those
people
who
are
in
the
chat
have
their
comments.
BH
And
mr
erlick
we're
happy
to
be
in
touch
directly
with
those
folks
there.
There
really
was
a
strong
amount
of
working
with
the
fenway
civic
association
and
the
fenway
cdc,
so
we're
happy
to
continue
that
process.
This
has
been
a
very
much
a
collaborative
effort
with
the
neighborhood
and
we
are
committed
to
that.
A
Okay,
let's,
let's
hope,
that's
successful.
Thank
you
all
right.

This
is
constructing
new
second
story:
addition
to
an
existing
auto
body
shop,
creating
new
office
space,
the
violation,
article
9
section,
1
extension
of
non-conforming
use
and
article
60
section
40.
Our
street
parking
is
insufficient
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please
good.
BG
Morning,
madam
chairman,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
bullet,
my
name
is
james,
christopher,
I'm
one
of
the
principals
of
rca
llc,
I'm
located
at
1156,
dorchester
ave.
We
are
the
project
architects.
BG
The
proposal
here
is
to
construct
a
new
partial
second
story
edition,
which
really
only
happens
in
the
center
of
the
building
and
to
pick
up
the
height
of
the
lower
roof
that
you
can
see
illustrated
on
this
photograph.
Here
we
met
with
the
rock
civic
association
and
in
the
butters
meeting,
the
project
was
well
received
by
the
neighbors.
The
owner
marty
patricia
was
on.
The
call
today
is
well-liked
and
respected
in
the
community.
BG
BG
So
the
proposal
here
before
you,
as
you
can
see
this
is
the
the
aerial
representation
of
the
slight
side.
If
you
go
to
the
next
line,
please
thank
you.
There's
no
change
to
the
footprint
of
the
building,
so
it
occupies
much
of
the
site.
Now
we
would
not
be
changing
that
and
you
can
see
the
dotted
indication
here
towards
the
right.
BG
End
of
this
plan
illustrates
the
proposed
addition
at
the
second
floor,
which
is
approximately
30
foot,
nine
by
15
foot,
six
and
a
half
and
the
height
of
the
building
at
the
gable
end
of
the
addition
will
be
24
feet.
The
only
violations
here
at
an
extension
of
the
non-conforming
use
and
the
parking
and
loading
requirement.
BG
BG
So,
on
the
interior
of
the
first
floor,
we
would
rework
the
entrance
and
the
waiting
area
to
have
a
new
seating
area
and
ingress
and
egress
stair,
there's
a
slight
elevated
platform
there
and
then,
on
the
second
floor,
we
would
just
create
two
new
offices,
as
you
can
see,
approximately
15
by
15
each
to
create
administrative
space
for
the
garage
to
to
house
the
business
aspect
of
the
operation.
BG
BG
In
elevation
here
you
can
see
the
the
grade.
Masonry
is
the
infill
of
the
new
building
and
then
above.
The
sign
in
the
center
is
where
that
new
office
space
would
be
located,
and
then
this
would
have
this
project
would
include
a
renovation
of
the
existing
elevations
and
facade
so
that
this
would
be
largely
a
new
building
with
minimal
changes
and
minimal
impact
to
the
community
next
slide.
Please.
A
Okay,
so
the
zoning
violations
consistent
extension
of
non-conforming
use
and
what
else
oh
she's
talking
about
packing
and
loading?
Okay,
all
right!
How
are
the
drawings,
mr
robinson.
Q
A
BF
Mr
chairman
of
the
board
adopting
people
here
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
the
proposal.
The
proposal
received
support
on
behalf
of
the
woodrow
ave,
neighborhood
association,
as
well
as
reunifying
our
communities
on
civic
association,
with
letters
of
support
that
I
can
send
into
the
board.
Thank
you.
A
A
Else
any
representative
of
the
city
council
offices.
A
E
BA
BA
Make
more
available
spaces
for
for
the
the
housing
crisis
and
boston,
and
we
have
the
basement,
will
will
have
exits
in
the
front
and
in
the
back,
and
it
will
have
exits
for
the
bedrooms
as
well.
A
Okay,
can
you
talk
about
what
the
zoning
violations
are.
BA
The
zoning
violation
is,
there's
not
enough
space
in
the
back
to
to
make
the
porch
and
there's
not
enough
space
on
the
left
side
of
the
house,
but
that's
an
existing
situation.
A
And
the
and
tell
us
about
the
unit
sizes
within
the
new
proposal.
A
Okay-
and
I
don't
know
if
you're
aware,
but
we're
concerned
about
so
you
want
to
right
now
what
is
the
function
of
the
baby.
BA
Hello,
hello,
yes!
Well,
right
now,
on
the
first
floor,
there's
three
bedrooms:
no.
A
Floor
plan
and
turn
it
into
a
an
additional
unit,
correct
yes,.
BA
Right,
I
think
you
have
to
go
up
or
down.
Let
me
see.
A
Okay,
so
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
our
usual
if
you've
been
before
this
board
before,
if
you're
familiar
with
it,
we're
concerned
about
living
space
in
the
basement,
if
it's
below
grade
and
underground,
I'm
looking
at
a11
on
the
the
drawings
and
it's
a
little
hard
to
tell
it's
it's
it's.
Well,
that's
a
section!
I
don't
know
mr
robinson,
can
you
can
you
interpret
what
the.
Q
There
seems
to
be
some
discrepancy
in
the
even
on
the
elevations
and
of
the
existing
photos
and
in
terms
of
I'm
sorry
the
existing
condition
of
the.
I
can't
quite
tell.
BA
BA
A
Okay,
so
so
the
the
good
there's
good
news
and
bad
news
there.
The
good
news
is
that
by
digging
down,
you
will
meet
the
building
code
because
it
has
to
be
seven
foot
six
at
a
minimum.
The
bad
news
is
that
you're
further
below
grade
by
digging
down-
I
I'm
really.
I
don't
know
mr
robinson
I'm
a
little
reluctant
to
go
forward
without
more
detail
on
the
drawings
yeah.
Q
A
That
would
be
good,
I
think,
and
and
have
make
sure
that
he
submits
a
set
of
drawings
with
more
data
on
it
than
the
current
set
has
and.
Q
A
question
of
screening
and
buffering
of
the
parking
area
is
not
consistent,
so
maybe
you
could
take
that
up
with
your
architects
and
and
bring
us
some
information
back
next
time.
E
Well,
mr
chair,
before
I
call
washington
street
we're
approaching
the
12
30,
we
already
passed
the
11
30
recommendations.
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
do
a
couple
of
things
after
they
do
this
next
case
before
we
hit
k
street.
A
E
E
Did
everybody
get
muted,
please
following
the
next
station
for
the
record,
calling
voa
116
62
31
38
15
washington
street?
This
is
the
occupant.
The
ground
occupies
the
first
floor
of
an
existing
building
wants
to
expand
to
the
second
floor.
This
is
in
a
neighborhood
shopping,
as
per
article
55
table
b
calls
for
the
educational
use
conditional
on
the
second
floor,
they're
seeking
to
change
the
use
of
the
second
floor
from
office
to
education.
The
violations
article
55,
section
16.,
the
school
use
second
story
is
bought,
is
conditional
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
BE
Hi
there,
my
my
name
is
scott
given
and
I'm
the
founder
and
owner
of
the
craft
school
located
at
3815
washington
street
in
boston,
we're
a
new
small
private,
independent
school
that
opened
this
past
fall.
BE
Currently
in
our
first
school
year
in
operation,
we
serve
50
students
in
preschool
pre-kindergarten
and
kindergarten,
with
a
very
significant
wait
list
for
all
those
grades,
we'll
be
enrolling
120
students
this
coming
school
year
and
had
two
times
the
number
of
applicants.
Then
we
have
seats
available,
we're
moderately
priced
private
school.
That
also
has
extensive
financial
aid
available,
ensuring
a
socio-economically
diverse
student
body,
we're
intending
to
expand
the
school
one
grade
level
at
a
time
over
the
coming
years
into
a
preschool
through
grade
six
school.
BE
BE
The
property
is
in
the
jp
zoning
district
and
school
use
is
conditional
on
the
second
floor
and
above
therefore
applying
for
change
of
use
from
business
to
education.
That
would
allow
cost
to
occupy
that
level
without
this
variance
we'd
anticipate
that
our
school
would
serve
approximately
220
students
within
seven
years
with
this
variance
would
be
able
to
expand
the
school
to
approximately
270
students
over
the
next
seven
years.
BE
One
final,
small,
but
important
thing
of
note
is
that,
as
part
of
our
proposed
lease
that
we
have
with
the
owner
of
the
building
inclusive
of
this
expanded
space,
we
would
have
access
to
additional
excess
parking
spots.
Two
lots
to
the
south
of
3815
washington
street,
which
is
a
building
also
owned
by
our
building
owner,
and
we
do
do
our
morning
and
afternoon
drop
offs
and
pick
up
across
long
time
windows.
So
there's
never
a
surge
in
parking
need
or
traffic
at
any
one.
Particular
time
I'm
on
with
our
architect,
stephanie
morrison.
A
Thank
you,
mr
kevin.
Just
a
couple
of
questions
exactly
where
on
washington
street
is
this
located.
BE
So
we
are
just
I'd
say
about
a
half
a
quarter
quarter
to
a
third
of
a
mile
to
the
south
of
the
forest
hills.
T
station,
we're
right
on
the
roslindale
jamaica,
plain
line.
A
Okay,
all
right,
okay,
I
I
know
exactly
where
you
are
then
so
you're
not
from
so
there's
really
no
change
to
the
building.
There's
like
the
building
the
envelope
of
the
building
right.
It's
simply
a
question
of
expanding
up
to
the
additional
floor,
so
this
is
really
from
the
point
of
view.
Violations
is
question
of
use
not
of
any
any
design
changes.
You're,
making.
A
Well,
knowing
that,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
plans
planes
are
good?
Okay,
any
questions
from
the
board
is
there
anyone
here
to
testify
on
behalf
of
the
project.
AB
Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
joe
koffinger,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
They
went
through
the
community
process,
we've
heard
no
concerns
from
about
us
and
they
have
also
received
support
from
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council.
Thank
you.
AQ
Good
afternoon,

members
of
the
board,

looking
at
a
roof
deck
that
is
not
on
the
the
top
roof
of
the
building,
but
it's
on
the
lower
level
and
the
access
is
straight
out

from
the

correct.
A
Of
the

Last

on

we've
been
meeting
with
the

the
last
deferral
the

set.
There
was
not
enough
time
for
the

that
were

requested
that

requested

with
the

we
are
seeking
a
short
deferral
on
this
matter.
Unfortunately,
we
lost
our
architects,
we
do
have
a
new
architect
and
plans
were
submitted.
They
were
just
not
reviewed
yet
by

Glad
you
found
a
new
architect
all
right.
Can
I
have

I
defer.
Is
there

Second
all

in

This
is
for

This
is

of

AU
Good
afternoon,
members
of
the
board,
mr
chairman,
this
is
mike
ross
from
the
law
office
of
prince
lobel
business,
address
of
one
international
place
here
on
the
phone
with
charlie
young,
the
director
of
operations
and
of
holland
brands
and
herbie
duvenay.
Our
security
consultant
windwalker,
the
ambassador,
if
you
can
just
pause,
maybe
go
back
two
slides
I'll,
just
kind
of
walk
through
this
with
you
right.
There
is
good.
AU
This
is
a
sure.
This
is
a
proposal
for
an
existing
industrial
building
which
is
located
in
a
local
industrial
sub-district
of
the
south
boston
neighborhood
district,
which
is
a
conditional
use.
The
building
is
self-contained.
It's
a
fenced-in
area
with
approximately
36
parking
spaces
on
the
site.
The
next
slide,
please,
madam
ambassador.
AU
If
you
will,
with
direct
access
to
summer
street,
to
the
area
and
back
back
out
through
summer
street,
the
proposal
is
not
with
any
within
any
buffer
zone,
no
schools,
no
parks
or
playgrounds
or
places
where
children
commonly
congregate,
which
I
know
is
a
question
that
we
get
sometimes
from
the
board
next
slide.
Please,
the
building
is
surrounded
by
industrial
uses,
including
a
giant
eversource
transformer
station
that
surrounds
two
sides
of
the
building.
You
can
see
the
transformers
in
the
photo
there
next
slide.
Please.
AU
I
also
just
wanted
to
note
that
our
article
68
does
encourage
this
type
of
commercial
use
and
a
job
creation
type
use
this.
We
anticipate
about
20
jobs
will
be
created
by
this
facility,
additional
context
photos
over
the
next
three
or
four
slides.
What
they
show
is
an
area
that,
unlike
many
of
the
multi-story
buildings
that
are
around
us,
we
are
not
increasing
the
square
footage
of
this
building
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
We
are
merely
renovating
the
building
and
to
allow
for
this
new
use.
AU
You
can
go
to
slide
12
and
that's
the
footprint
and
that's
probably
the
best
slide
to
to
to
hang
out
for
one
second,
two
more
slides,
if
you
will
right
here,
is
great.
Thank
you,
man
besser,
so
I
mean,
if
you
look
at
the
building,
the
building
might
look
large
at
first
sight,
but
a
closer
look.
If
you
see
that
lower
right
hand
corner
of
the
space
we
are
going
to
give
away
one
quarter
of
this
building
with
its
own
separate
entrance,
it
will
not
be
for
our
cannabis
use.
AU
It
will
not
be
a
use
that
we
determine
it'll,
be
a
use
that'll
be
determined
by
this
community
for
whatever
they
want
to
use
that
space.
For
the
other,
half
of
this
building
you'll
note
in
the
gray
area
we're
going
to
bring
our
deliveries
directly
into
the
building.
So
there's
a
delivery
bay
within
the
building
and
probably
most
important,
there's
an
internal
line,
cueing
area
so
rather
than
having
people
queueing
outside
the
building,
any
kind
of
cueing
will
be
inside
the
building.
AU
The
building
is
really
designed
to
get
people
in
and
out
as
quickly
as
possible.
Even
the
restrooms
are
at
the
front
of
the
building
in
the
line
queuing
area.
What
you're
left
with
is
a
retail
area,
the
yellow,
which
is
less
than
3
000
square
feet.
It's
2700
square
feet
and
what
you
have
in
the
parking
area
is
approximately
36
spaces
to
allow
for
no
traffic
issues
outside
the
area
and
at
night
time
we're
going
to
make
those
spaces
available
to
area
residents
for
free
to
to
use
for
overnight
parking.
AU
Our
proposed
hours
of
operations
will
be
9
a.m,
to
9
00
pm
monday
through
saturday
and
then
10
a.m
to
7
p.m.
On
sunday,
there's
some
additional
rendering
drawings
that
you
could
ambassador
just
quickly
scroll
through
that
show
kind
of
the
elevations
there's
that
bay
area
door
that
I
mentioned,
and
the
other
elevations
there's
an
interior
shot.
AU
There's
the
next
slide,
just
to
kind
of
give
you
a
sense
of
what,
or
rather
actually
pause
here
for
a
second,
you
can
see
that
the
site
is
well
buffered
intending
to
prevent
any
type
of
nuisance,
any
type
of
issues
you
really
don't
see
into
the
site.
Today,
it's
been
like
that
for
a
long
time,
you're
not
going
to
see
into
the
site
tomorrow,
there's
next
slide,
we'll
just
show
you
kind
of
what
the
inside
will
look
like
and
then
just
the
final
two
slides
just
to
make
the
point.
AU
We've
had
a
long
time
to
go
through
the
community.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
interesting
people
in
this
community
in
particular,
and
they
care
very
much
about
their
neighborhood.
We've
spent
over
two
years
engaged
in
a
community
process
and
dialogue.
We're
proud
of
the
200
letters
of
support
we've
received
for
this
project.
AU
AU
A
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
ross.
So
the
buffering
that
you
that
you
showed
is
not
a
rendering
you're
saying
that's
existing
conditions.
AU
That's
great
the
buffer
slide
on
like
slide
five
around
yeah.
AU
A
Just
wanted
to
be
clear
about
that,
because
on
the
first
floor
plan
it
kind
of
looks
as
if
it's
part
of
the
the
landscaping
design
but
you're
saying
that's
there.
Now:
okay.
A
A
Okay-
and
you
said
the
parking
spaces
at
night-
we're
going
to
be
available
to
community
residents
what
happens
at
9
00
a.m.
If
community
resident
hasn't
moved
their
car.
AU
We're
going
to
work
with
people,
we
really
don't
want
to
get
in
a
situation
where
we're
going
to
be
towing
our
neighbors.
Obviously
you
know
we
don't
wanna
if
they're
there
every
every
morning
at
nine,
we're
gonna
have
to
have
a
conversation.
The
intent
here
is
to
be
able
to
have
both
uses
working
in
a
holistic
way.
A
AU
Yeah,
we've
we've
told
the
elected
officials
of
this
community
district
city,
councilor
flynn
and
at-large
city
councilor,
flaherty
that
it's
not
our
decision,
it
is,
is
really
a
community
decision
and
we
would
rely
on
their
guidance
in
that
regard
and
we
will
do
what
they
suggest.
AU
Absolutely
you
know
the
the
intent
of
the
space
is
to
turn
it
over
in
a
you
know,
kind
of
a
vanilla
box
and
then
no.
A
AU
It
will
be
for
them
to
manage
if
they
need
to
get
relief.
They
would
come
back
to
the
board
here
how
it
will
be
their
space.
We
will,
we
will
paper
it.
It's
something.
We've
committed
to
the
boston
candidates
board,
it's
something
we're
committing
to
this
board.
It's
something
we're
committing
to
the
elected
officials
of
this
community.
It's
4
000
square
feet
of
prime
space
that
we're
going
to
turn
over
because
we
simply
don't
need
it.
A
Okay,
no,
I
I
I
understand
the
goal,
I'm
just.
It
feels
a
little
loosey-goosey
right
now,
but
I
I
would.
I
hope
that
it
would
get
tightened
up
by
the
time
that
this
this
facility
is
open.
AU
Yeah
I
mean
it
would
absolutely
would
we
need
a
a
tenant
to
sublease
the
location,
the
property
too,
and
once
we
have
that
tenant,
we
will
provide
a
zero
dollar
lease
to
that
tenant,
and
I
can
represent
that
to
you
as
a
practitioner
before
this
board.
Okay,
that's
fine.
A
All
right
and
with
respect
to
the
other
issues,
the
internal
line,
queue
the
2700
square
feet
of
retail
seems
pretty
straightforward.
How
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
A
We
should
no
comment
on
that.
Okay,
any
questions
from
the
board.
A
All
right
does
anyone
want
to
testify
on
behalf
of
the
project.
AH
Mr
chairman,
that
counselor
flynn
is
on
the
call
he
would
like
to
speak.
A
AN
AN
AN
AN
A
Is
is
there
anybody
else
who
wants
to
testify
either
in
favor
or
in
opposition?
Yes,
please
is
the
mayor's
office
on
the
call.
U
You
thank
you
good
afternoon,
mr
chairman
members
of
the
board,
karen
foley
council,
niece
wasabi
george's
office,
and
we
want
to
stand
with
consular
flynn
in
the
abutters
and
oppose
this
project.
Thank
you.
E
Mr
chair
secretary,
here
we
do
have
numerous
letters
of
opposition
and
numerous
letters
of
support
and
we
also
have
the
letter
from
the
cannabis
board.
AI
Mr
chairman,
members
of
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
okay,
paul
sullivan
for
city
council
at
large,
michael
flaherty,
echoing
the
sentence
of
council
of
flynn,
as
well
as
the
extensive
process
that
went
into
drafting
article
68,
the
council's
approach
has
been
consistent
and
he
cannot
support
the
variance
at
this
time.
He
would
like
to
go
and
wreck
it
in
opposition.
Thank
you.
I
Okay,
mr
chair,
we
have
about
16
hands
raised
just
let
me
know
how
you
want
to
go
about.
A
16:
okay,
let's:
let's

opposition
and
they
have
to
be

So,

Are

I
I
I
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
try
to
get
butters
in
support
if
we
can't
we'll
just
move
on
to
the
opposition.
I
A
Okay,
until
that
gets
sorted

take
over
handling
the
participants.
BN

Okay,

I'm
just
looking
at
the
list

said
she
was
in
opposition.
Brian
gray
said
he
was
an
opposition
tom
sullivan.
Are

AI
Yes

Q
A
A
BP
BL
A
BQ
BK
BQ
I'm
the
attorney
for
the
several
of
direct
abutters
and
to
make
things
easier
for
you.
I
can
submit
to
you
the
four
names
that
are
going
to
speak,
who
are
director
butters
and
non-repetitive.
A
Okay,
we're
narrowing
this
down
thomas
kalas,
in
a
bunner
or
in
supporter
opposition.
V
I'm
four
blocks
away
on
emerson
street
and
I
am
in
support.
Okay,.
A
On
david
schramm,
a
butter
and
opposition,
I'm
in
a
butter
and
I'm
in
opposition,
okay,
all
right.
As
far
as
I
can
see,
we've
gone
through
the
entire
list.
I've
got
kate,
brian
brendan
glenn,
maria
and
tyler,
and
then
we
have
the
four
names
from
glenn
harrington.
So
I'm
going
to
arbitrarily
call
on
three
of
you
and
I
apologize
if,
if
I
am,
if
I
don't
include
you
but
I'll
start
with
kate,
I
want
to
can
kate.
A
Can
you
please
give
your
name
and
address
to
the
record
and
why
you're
in
opposition.
BO
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
kate
gutierrez
and
also
for
the
record.
I
wish
to
confirm
receipt
of
the
package
of
materials
submitted
to
the
board
on
may
12th
and
just
to
highlight
a
few
points
briefly
here.
BO
Yes,
since
2010
I've
owned
my
home
at
547
east
first,
I
live
50
feet
directly
across
from
the
site.
The
proposed
use
is
inappropriate,
for
the
site
would
have
an
overwhelming
adverse
impact
on
quality
of
life.
The
site
is
located
in
a
local
industrial
sub
district.
Former
business,
accurate
fasteners,
was
a
wholesale
manufacturer
of
nuts
and
bolts
since
1960
it
saw
just
a
handful
of
employees,
cars
and
deliveries
per
day,
always
within
traditional
office
hours
monday
through
friday,
only
on
weekends.
The
site
was
entirely
quiet.
BO
This
proposal
suggests
a
radical
change
in
use
that
will
be
both
more
objectionable
and
more
detrimental
to
the
life
that
we
enjoy.
Now
by
introducing
a
high
volume,
10
cash
register,
retail
establishment,
no
doubt
advertised
for
major
highways.
The
airport
amtrak
station
food
terminal
opens
seven
days
a
week.
Well,
nine
at
night,
seven
on
sundays
deliveries
happening
during
late
night.
Early
morning
hours,
I
anticipate
sleepless
night
noise
and
fumes
coming
into
our.
BP
U
A
R
Yes,
hello,
mr
chairman,
my
name
is
brendan
albert.
I
look
directly
across
the
street
50
feet
away.
I've
been
here
for
11
years.
I
wanted
to
take
issue
with
mr
ross,
who
said
earlier
that
there
are
no
parks
located
near
this
business
proposed
site.
That's
simply
false
400
feet
within
the
site.
There
is
I
street
eversource
park,
it's
a
public
park
and
it's
actually
part
of
boston
harbour
walk.
I
take
my
dog
there
every
single
day,
and
what
else
I
want
to
talk
about
next
is
just
east.
R
First
street
is
already
a
treacherous
road
and
has
long
had
issues
with
speeding,
as
councilor
flynn
mentioned
earlier,
and
I'm
concerned
that
adding
a
high
volume
retail
mega
market,
like
this
proposed,
will
add
a
hundreds
of
additional
vehicles
that
will
have
enormous
negative
impacts
on
my
quality
of
life.
Okay,.
BR
BR
I
would
like
to,
in
addition
to
the
points
that
I
made
and
the
materials
that
we
submitted,
highlight
the
fact
that
we
have
141
direct
abutters
that
are
in
opposition
of
this
proposal.
Specifically
I'd
like
to
point
out
a
few
things.
You
know:
miss
council,
ross
or
attorney
ross
has
repeatedly
represented
a
number
of
supporters,
and
if
you
kindly
refer
to
the
details
of
our
materials
we
submitted,
you
will
see
that
there
are
a
number
of
false.
You
know
false.
O
A
BR
BR
A
Lot:
okay,
okay,
we
are
repeating
what
others
have
said.
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
everybody
feels
very
passionately
about
this
and
I
know
that
there
are
other
people
who
want
to
speak,
but
basically
the
same
issues
are
being
repeated
over
and
over
again.
I
think
we
understand
the
concerns
and
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
the
board
and
we
we
got.
We
got
the
testimony
we
were
looking
for
and
I
am
going
to
ask
for
a
motion.
Mr.
AU
Chairman
can
I
could
I
just
respond
to
a
couple
of
the
items
that
we
have?
No,
no,
no.
F
N
O
F
A
Mr
ross,
I
think
we've
heard
enough
testimony
both
for
for
and
against
I'm
to
look
for
a
motion
from
the
from
the
board.
Now.
A
AU
N
A
Okay!
Looking
for
a
board,
mr
roger
made
a
motion,
is
there
a
second
for
his
motion?
We
got
some
rumbling
going
on
again.
I
A
Okay,
so
mr
kendall
offered
a
motion
to
deny:
is
there
a
second
for
that
I'll,
second,
that
all
those
in
favor
of
a
motion
to
deny
hi
hi
all
opposed
hi?
A
Okay,
let
me
be
okay,
how
many
opposed
mr
gero,
mr
regero
suppose,
who
else?
E
A
A
A
A
A
A
I
had
said
130.,
I
apologize.
Let
me
quickly.
Do
a
roll
call
make
sure
everybody's
here,
mr
fortune?
Yes,
I'm
here,
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
it.
Mr
ruggiero.
BF
BO
BN
Excuse
me,
mr
chair
tom
jessica,
have
you
restarted
the
recording.
A
Okay,
you
know,
you
know
one
thing
that
I
know
that
is
considered
sort
of
good
practice
to
just
restate
the
the
conditions
of
the
hearing.
So
let
me
just
do
that
and
then
we'll
start,
I
will
repeat
some
of
the
from
the
morning
in
order
to
ensure
this
hearing,
the
board
is
open.
The
public
members
of
the

may
access
this
hearing
through

J
Mr
chairman,
this
is
a
pre-existing
two-family
dwelling
located
in
our
great
heights,
section
of
east
boston,
it's
located
in
the
corner
of
saratoga
and
st
edwards
road
I'll.
Try
to
clarify
the
record
a
bit.
The
secretary
had
read
in
the
violations.
This
originally
was
being
proposed
as
a
five-unit
dwelling.
That's
why
we're
back
before
the
board.
J
After
a
deferral
the
project
has
since
evolved
and
changed,
and
what's
before
the
board
is
the
most
current
iteration
of
plans
that
have
been
reviewed
by
isd.
Specifically,
we
originally
were
proposing
a
basement
unit
that
has
been
eliminated.
The
only
livable
space
that
is
now
being
proposed
below
grade
is
in
connection
with
one
of
the
units
that
it's
a
family
room.
Only
it's
not
intended
to
be
a
bedroom.
J
This
would
expand
the
existing
two-family
structure.
You
can
see
here
in
the
photo
we'll
be
providing
an
addition
to
the
left,
as
you
can
on
saratoga
street
and
providing
car
painting
for
up
to
four
vehicles.
The
rendering
here
shows
what
the
finished
product
would
look
like.
We
are
proposing
roof
decks,
but
those
roof
decks
would
be
based
upon
conversations
with
the
community
will
be
located
above
the
second
story
of
the
existing
building.
J
The
addition
that's
being
proposed
to
the
left
would
have
access
to
that
roof
deck
that
you
could
see
that
prior
rendering.
Each
of
the
units
here
that
are
being
proposed
are
roughly
smallest
around
a
thousand
square
feet.
They
go
up
to
about
1800
square
feet.
They
are
all
three
bedroom
two
bath.
The
violations
for
this
particular
project,
starting
with
the
use
two
f4
thousand
limits.
The
number
of
units
on
any
one
lot
to
two.
J
This
is
surrounded
by
numerous
multi-family,
as
well
as
threes
and
four
unit
buildings.
Maybe
some
six
unit
buildings
as
well.
The
lot
area
of
this
is
already
a
non-conforming
condition.
Four
000
square
feet
is
required.
We
have
3
640
square
feet.
Our
florida
ratio
would
expand
the
existing
footprint
from
up
to
1.67.
J
We
are
cited
for
height
as
well.
The
2f
district
permits
up
to
two
and
a
half
stories.
We
are
showing
a
three-story
addition,
I
think,
taking
the
totality
of
the
building
and
looking
at
the
extent
of
the
edition
that
we're
proposing,
we
do
not
propose
a
full
three
stories
across
the
the
property.
The
existing
two
family
to
two-story
structure
would
be
maintained,
only
adding
roof
decks
that
are
accessed
up
either
by
hatch
or
by
slider,
with
respect
to
the
rear
and
side
yards.
J
We
do
set
our
building
back
a
bit
where
we're
proposing
our
addition
to
try
to
create
as
much
buffer
between
the
rear
property
line
and
the
budding
property
to
our
right.
I
would
respect
the
parking
the
number
of
units
four
units
would
require
six
spaces.
We
are
proposing
four
spaces
that
be
one
per
unit:
the
maneuverability,
I'm
sorry
the
the
design
violation.
It
relates
to
the
number
of
compact
spaces
that
we're
proposing
as
well
and
last
but
not
least,
is
ipod.
J
A
Okay,
so
looking
at
the
site
plan,
it
looks
like
you're
really
covering
almost
the
entire
lot.
Am
I
correct.
J
So
currently,
mr
chairman,
that
the
the
existing
structure
covers
a
good
portion
of
the
lot
there's
a
garage
that
is
located.
I
mean
to
the
left,
if
you're
looking
at
it
from
saratoga
street,
that
garage
would
be
demolished
and
the
addition
that
we're
proposing
would
go
in
its
place.
A
And
what
and
what
and
what
is
the
distance
between
the
left,
the
furthest
left
point
of
the
building
as
you're
standing
in
saratoga
and
the
both
the
lot
line
and
the
adjacent
building.
J
A
Okay
and
then
the
other
thing,
there's
a
wide
existing
curb
cut,
which
is
according
to
the
site
plan,
is
going
to
get
removed
and
replaced
by
a
smaller
12-foot
curb
cut
into
the
garage.
That's
correct
is
that
correct.
That
is.
J
Correct
we
don't
need
the
width,
that's
there
now,
which
I
believe
is
20
feet.
I
think
we
can
go
down
as
as
small
as
10
feet
to
access
them.
A
The
one
the
one
comment
I
would
make
I
would
be
not.
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't,
because
of
for
the
regular
chair
is
the
the
garage
door
design,
but
we
can
leave
that
for
for
design
review
if,
if
this
goes
forward,.
J
Yep
I've
already
indicated
that
would
be
a
translucent
door.
I
know
it's
probably
not
reflected
in
the
plan,
but
that
will
be
included
as
part
of
this
idea.
E
Mr
chair
secretary
here,
mr
d'amico,
has
spoken
on
this
I'd
like
to
put
it
in,
for
the
record
on
friday
may
7.
his
comments
on
1088
saratoga
street.
The
curb
cut
should
be
closer
to
st
edwards.
Road
saratoga
street
is
very
busy,
especially
during
the
am
and
pm
peak
hours.
The
location
of
the
curb
cut
is
very
dangerous.
E
It
is
right
at
the
end
of
the
sidewalk,
and
visibility
is
extremely
poor
as
vehicles
enter
especially
exit
the
garage
also,
this
time
the
design
will
put
pedestrians
at
extreme
peril,
inspired
replacing
audio
and
visual
located
at
the
garage
door.
As
I
stated
in
my
previous
comments,
since
the
garage
door
is
located
at
the
end
of
the
sidewalk,
it
still
does
not
protect
pedestrians
and
dangerous,
since
both
the
launch
will
not
provide
enough
time
for
the
pedestrians
to
getting
hit
by
an
existing
vehicle,
especially
the
elderly
and
a
progesterone
willing,
a
baby
or
carriage.
J
A
J
Smallest
is
a
thousand
square
feet:
largest
is
eighteen
hundred
square
feet
and
they're
all
three
bedroom.
Okay,.
A
Mr
robinson,
how
are
the
drawings
the
drawings
are,
are
good?
Okay,
any
questions
from
the
board
is
anyone
here
to
testify
on
in
support
of
the
project.
S
Go
dr
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
board
lina
trameli
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
run
the
recruitment
support
for
this
proposal.
The
office
of
neighborhood
services
held
another
two
hours
meeting
for
this
proposal
where
the
applicant
addressed
several
of
the
concerns
today
about
it,
and
we
received
six
letters
of
support
for
this
proposal.
Thank
you.
A
Okay
jeff
hampton
did.
The
bpda
want
to
weigh
in
on
this.
N
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
We
had
recommended
denial
without
prejudice.
That
was
our
original
vote
back
before
the
project
changed.
We
still
hate
the
garage
door
as
shown-
and
you
know
I
know-
councilman
linds
knows
that,
but
he
had
already
stated
through
other
design
reviews
similar
to
this.
The
door
will
be
translucent
and
we'll
probably
pull
the
garage
to
her
back.
Okay,
it's
if
approved.
U
I
Dana
you've
been
a
mute.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
please
for
the
record.
BS
Yeah,
it's
it's
dana
a
donatio
44
saint
edward
road.
I
live
four
houses
down
on
saint
edward
and
I'm
in
support
of
this
and
I'll.
Tell
you
why
we
did
deal
with
the
attorney
and
the
developer
and
they
they
have
revised
this
a
few
times
and
our
biggest
concern
was
parking
and
we
had
requested
a
one-to-one
parking
and
that's
where
we're
at
they
lowered
the
height
of
the
building.
So
I'm
okay
with
it
and
just
want
to
give
you
my
two
cents.
That's
it.
I
B
A
You
thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
given
that,
can
I
have
a
motion.
Q
I'll
make
a
motion
to
support
with
bpda
design
review.
I
think
also,
you
know
I
think,
looking
at
the
the
building
alignments
as
it
relates
to
the
abutting
blue
house,
I
think
would
be
something
to
take
into
consideration
since
it
pushes
back
out
to
the
sidewalk.
So
I
think,
building
alignment
garage
door
and
bpa
review.
I
can
make
him
option
for
supporting
second.

E
BT
Yes,
so
it
is
a
three-story
proposed
new
construction
at
31
way
bond
street.
The
proposed
possible
right
in
the
middle.
The
project
on
the
bottom
was
an
existing
33
way.
Bond
was
an
existing
for
family,
that's
been
renovated
and
completely
sold
as
ownership
units,
so
we
are
proposing
a
three-story
two
unit,
philly
style
units
with
three
beds,
two
and
a
half
bathrooms
and
four
parking
spaces.
BT
The
use
of
premises
permit
does
use
the
access
on
the
bottom
of
the
the
page
currently
shown
on
33
way,
bonds
back
spot
and
then
goes
into
31
and
then
also
goes
into
29
29
way.
Bond
street
is
owned
by
an
abutter.
We
have
all
legal
documentation
in
place,
granting
that
easement
4,
33,
31
and
29.
BT
We've
had
about
six
meetings,
roughly
six
or
more
meetings
with
the
neighborhood
over
the
past
year
and
a
half
almost
two
years
in
regards
to
this
project.
We
currently
started
at
six
units
then
worked
our
way
down
per
the
feedback
of
the
neighborhood
and
the
associations
to
two
units
and
four
parking
spaces.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
issues
were
addressed
where
you
know
they
thought
parking
was
being
taken
away
from
33
33
never
had
the
parking
so
yeah.
We
believe
this
is
a
very
sound
project.
BT
Two
units
ownership
units
with
with
four
parking
spaces.
A
So
these
easements
that
you're
describing
they've
all
been
recorded.
Yes,
sir
okay,
but
so
there's
an
easement
between
33
and
31
and
between
31
and
29.
Two
separate
documents.
BT
Yes,
we
all
have
so
33
was
owned
by
us
as
a
separate
entity,
so
all
of
the
current
condo
owners
have
signed
that
it's
all
on
record
33.
We
are
the
owners
of
with
a
separate
entity,
and
we
worked
in
conjunction
with
the
owner
of
29
weight
body
street,
considering
wabino
and
wave
on
street
very
two
two-way
traffic
very
crowded
streets.
BT
So
to
ensure
you
know
access
we
wanted
to
work
with
29
wave
on
street
to
take
his
current
tenants
parking
off
of
the
street,
grant
that
easement
so
that
he
that
his
tenants
could
alleviate
some
of
the
parking
issues
in
the
neighborhood.
A
A
Okay,
all
right,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
drawings
the
the
plans
are
good?
Okay,
any
questions
on
the
board
is
there
anybody
here
to
testify
in
part
of
the
project.
BU
Mr
chairman
and
members
of
the
board,
this
json
gantt
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
project.
They
have
held
an
extensive
community
process
and
also
accommodated
lots
of
community
requests,
while
also
maintaining
the
relationship
with
nate
butters
and
taking
care
of
any
concerns
that
they
have
posed.
BU
I
I
AZ
Okay,
marilyn
chase,
I'm
an
owner
at
17,
wayboy
street.
I
have
a
question
first,
so
I
had
received
email
and
I
understood
that
they
were
looking
to
put
still
looking
to
put
six
units
on
the
property.
Are
they
now
looking
to
put
two.
AZ
BT
Sorry
miss
the
gym
and
two
has
been
in
place
for
roughly,
I
believe,
almost
eight
months
now,
maybe
longer
than
that.
So
we
changed
the
plans
from
six
to
four
to
three
to
two.
AZ
Okay,
so
I
am
I
I
came
on
prepared
to
be
not
in
support,
because
the
we
we
have
consistently
found
that
the
property
lot
is
insufficient
for
the
number
of
units.
But
if
they're
now
talking
about
two
units,
I
still
have
some
concerns
that
it's
insufficient,
but
it
certainly
is
more
appealing
than
the
original
six
units.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
any
anybody
else,
yeah.
BV
My
name
is
michael
closer
with
project
right
320,
the
letter,
a
blue
avenue
we've
been
working
with
other
way
bond
and
other
budding
residents
in
the
area.
We
have
concerns
about
easements,
who
use
other
properties.
We've
had
problems
with
that
in
other
neighborhoods,
we're
concerned
that
they're
taking
open
space
or
33
wave
on
and
turning
that
as
as
an
easement,
which
makes
it
very
congested.
BV
A
Okay,
can
I
have
a
motion,
please.
Q
I'll
make
a
motion
to
support
with
bpda
design
review.
Oh
second,.
E
E
E
Is
roderick?

BW
Go
to
pierre
curry,
this
is
stuart
schreier
I
represent
joy
builder
broderick
ego
dog,
barry
apologize,
it
was
muted.
My
client
originally
proposed
to
build
a
four
unit.
He
went
to
greater
matapan
and
greater
matapan
suggested
that
he
reduce
it
to
three.
He
reduced
it
to
three
and
we
got
a
a
new
violation
notice
which
in
our
case
the
violation
notice
that
I
have
in
my
hand
only
listed
in
sufficient
lot
area
if
there
are
other
violations.
BW
I
wasn't
aware
of
them
before
before
this,
but
the
issue
here
is
great:
amanapan
has
supported
it.
One
neighbor
is
opposed
all
right.
A
BW
Sorry,
what's
what's
going
on
here
is
my
client
wants
to
build
a
three-family
house
approximately
a
little
over
1200
square
feet
in
each
unit.
These
are
three-bedroom
units.
They
have
three
and
a
half
baths
in
these
units,
so
each
each
bedroom
has
its
own
bathroom
they're
three-quarter
baths,
they're,
not
quite
full
baths.
They
have
showers,
and
these
are
nice.
Family
orientated
rental
units
and
my
client
wants
to
do
the
three
family.
A
A
And
the
basement
is
used
for
what
unfinished
unfinished
storage,
correct:
okay,
we'll
just.
A
E
Mr
chair,
I'm
out
mr
chair
yeah
is
this:
am
I
reading
this
correctly?
It's
supposed
to
be
four.
A
My
fi,
I
don't
have
that
on
my
file.
Well,
okay,
but
we're
gonna.
I
mean
where
the
drawings
reflect
what
mr
shriver
is
is
proposing,
so
we're
going
to
go
ahead,
okay
and
speaking
of
which,
how
are
the
drawings?
Mr
robinson,
the.
Q
The
drawings
are
are
fine,
okay,
and
there
are
three:
it
shows
a
three
family.
So
that's
where
we
are
so
yeah.
Yes,
it
does
exactly
counselor
said
so.
Yeah.
A
Yeah
and
if
you
look
on
the
first
on
a1,
it's
got
the
zoning
dimensional
regulations
and
it's
in
compliance
on
everything
except
minimum
lot
area.
So
that's
correct.
Yeah,.
A
Okay,
all
right
any
questions
on
the
board.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
testify
and.
BX
Support
good
afternoon
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
john
st
peoples
with
the
office
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
We
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
of
this
proposal
for
the
reason
of
resident
concern,
including
congestion
on
the
street,
causing
issues
and
that
residents
were
not
notified
of
the
of
the
changes
to
the
proposal.
Thank
you.
BW
No,
in
fact,
in
fact,
greater
mattapan
knew
about
the
4-3
we
contacted
the
mayor's
office
and
asked
them
for
their
help
to
get
in
touch.
They've
spoken
to
the
neighbor
he's
denying
that
he
has
been
informed
that
it's
been
reduced
from
a
four
to
a
three
he's
seen
the
plans.
In
fact,
it
was
okay,
okay,
okay,.
A
Okay,
show
them
the
plans
very
good.
All
right
is
there
anybody
else
to
testify,
either
in
support
or
opposition.
BN
Mr
champs
tom
are
the
plans
that
we've
been
looking
at
at
the
hearing.
Are
they've
been
stamped
by
isd.
A
Oh
okay!
Well,
that's
that
would
have
been
nice
to
know
a
few
minutes
ago.
I'm
gonna,
I'm!
You
know,
I'm
gonna
take
the
position
I
always
take,
which
is
we
can't?
We
can't
approve
something
that
has
not
been
gone,
not
gotten
to
us
we're
going
through
the
process.
So
I'm
going
to
ask
for
a
deferral.
Well,.

E
A
Okay,
thank
you
now
we're
going
to
do
this
a
little
bit
differently.
This
is
the
third
time
we
have.
We
have
had
this
discussion,
mr
urgero,
and
I
did
a
site
visit
last
week.
Okay,
so
I
have
a
series
of
questions
that
if
mr
ruggiero
has
questions
as
well
as
opposed
to
walking
through
the
process
one
more
time
so
the
buildings,
the
10
ruthlan
and
seventeen
ruthless,
we
have
common
ownership,
correct.
A
Okay
and
they're
they're
they're
owned
they're
just
recently
completed
they're
still
under
construction
in
some
ways.
Right
yep,
that's
correct,
okay,
and
there
is
right
now
a
chain-link
fence
with
the
guinea
that
runs
across
from
73
to
71
blocking
access
from
ruthman
park
to
the
rear,
where
the
parking
areas.
A
BK
Correct
I
have,
I
have
co-counsel,
sami
nabusi
online
represents
the
owners
with
regard
to
the
easement
issue
in
court,
and
he
can
speak
to
that
sami
if
you're
wrong.
I
A
Well,
here's
what
I
want
to
understand.
I
want
to
understand
what
the
nature
of
the
litigation
is,
because
the
easement,
the
driveway,
is
currently
not
wide
enough.
Unless
there
is
a
negotiated
easement
there
actually
is.
A
If
you
look
at
the
the
the
line
under
the
words
ruthman
park,
where
you've
got
the
the
the
data
there,
that
line
going
left
to
right
halfway,
as
I
assume
the
lot
line,
and
if
you
go
from
the
edge
of
the
building
on
71
to
that
lot
line,
it
appears
to
be
10
feet,
but
you've
got
a
sidewalk
there
that
got
built
it's
two
or
three
feet,
so
there's
no
way
that
there
can
be
direct
access
without
an
easement
being
cr
created
and
agreed
to,
and
I
you
know
it
seems
a
little
odd
to
be
honest
with
you
that
it's
gotten
this
far
in
the
process
and
that
the
building
is
like
95
percent
complete.
BP
Great,
this
is
thank
you,
chairman
and
member
of
the
board.
This
is
samia
bolsi,
I'm
litigation
counsel
to
the
owner
of
71,
ruthen
street
and
10
ruthen
park,
and
I'm
representing
the
owner
indy
in
the
land
court
litigation
arising
from
the
use
of
the
use
of
the
the
easement
just
just
to
put
in
perspective
real
quick.
What
we're
what
we're
looking
at.
So
you
are
correct
that
if
you,
if
you're
looking
at
the
plan,
that's
on
our
screen
here,
there's
there's
this
driveway.
BP
You
know
for
lack
of
a
better
term.
I
guess
that
is
titled
ruth
and
park
that
that
that
dark,
solid
line
that
kind
of
runs
through
the
middle
of
it.
Towards
the
you
know,
the
you
know:
southwesterly
half
it
starts
to
kind
of
diverge
a
little
bit
from
the
middle.
Those
are
the
actual
lot
line,
but
if
you
see
up
against
each
of
the
properties,
so
if
you
see
up
against
the
building
at
73
the
building
at
71,
and
then
you
know
a
few
feet
from
the
building
at
10,
there
is
this
dashed
line.
BP
BP
BP
A
No,
no!
That's!
That's
that's
fine!
So
so
my
point
is
that
when
we
were
there
and
we
measured
it
out
from
the
dashed
line
to
the
dashed
line,
is
you
know
it's
plenty
wide
for
a
driveway?
It's
a
it
looks
like
it's
20
something
20
feet
or
a
little
less
than
20
feet,
maybe
15
to
20..
But
the
solid
line
in
between
the
parallel
to
those
dashed
lines
is
less
than
10
from
either
one
of
those
dashed
lines,
meaning
that
that
without
an
easement
between
them,
you
don't
have
enough
weight
for
a
driveway.
BP
So
so
that
that
is
so
the
reason
that's
not
true,
and
I
guess
that's
also
in
part
the
subject
of
the
litigation
is:
there
is
an
easement
that
exists.
It
is
a
paper
right-of-way
and
what
it
is
is
it
is
a.
It
is
a
right-of-way
that
is
the
the
middle
that
that
solid
line
in
the
middle
is
not
part
of
it.
The
the
right-of-way
is
the
entire
width
from
dashed
line
to
date.
A
BP
That's
absolutely
fair,
and
I
will
I
will
frame
it
as
objective
as
possible
right.
The
right
of
what
the
right-of-way
that
is
recorded
is
a
shared
right-of-way
for
all
of
the
owners
of
the
properties
you
see
in
this
plan.
73
75,
71
and
10.
in
right
of
way
provides
that
all
of
the
owners
have
a
have.
A
right
of
you
know,
use
passage,
and
you
know
open
kind
of
open
to
the
sky.
I
suppose
an
interest
in
the
whole
right-of-way,
the
the
nature
of
the
dispute
is
initially
as
proposed.
BN
BP
BP
A
Okay-
okay,
okay,
okay,
I
don't
want
to
get.
I
don't
want
to
litigate
the
complaint
here,
it's
in
land
court
and
that's
the
appropriate
venue,
so
so
the
so
from
my
perspective
and
I
hope
the
board's
perspective,
it
doesn't
make
any
sense
for
us
to
grant
a
variance
when
there
is
ongoing
litigation
that
may
undermine
the
very
nature
of
the
variance
and
before
I
ask
anybody
for
a
motion,
I'm
going
to
ask
mr
ruggiero.
If
he
has
any
comments,
because
he
was
there
with
him.
F
F
So
I
I
don't.
I
don't
necessarily
see
why
we
couldn't
approve
parking
spots.
I
don't
think
that
single
handicap
space,
I
think
that's
that's
a
no-go
because
that's
in
the
easement
but
the
easements,
the
events
recorded
it's
there
and
from
a
land
use
perspective.
I
don't
see
why
they
I
mean
if
we
get
a
grant
relief
order,
but
I
don't
see
why
parking
on
their
own
property
is
is
an
issue
as
long
as
they
have
a
leak
pavement
to
it
and
they
have
the
legal
easement.
BK
I
agree,
mr
material
and
that's
why
we
moved
all
of
the
parking
to
the
rear
of
71
roof
band
so
that
there's
no
obstruction
in
okay.
A
BP
So
so
this
is
a
turning
to
bolster
again
the
the
decision,
the
decision
to
file
the
amended.
You
know
the
amended
parking
plan.
You
know
followed
the
last
meeting.
I
think
the
hope
you
know
the
hope
was
to
also
you
know.
Perhaps
you
know
I
think
we
thought
maybe
there
would
be
some
feedback
for
us
coming
following
the
site
visit,
so
this
has
been
a
recent
change.
BP
You
know
to
be
honest
with
you,
council,
for
the
plaintiffs,
and
I
have
not
conferred
about
whether
this
does
resolve
the
litigation,
but
my
sense
is
that
it
would
because
the
crux
of
the
complaint.
A
AT
BU
Mr
chairman
and
members
of
the
board,
this
is
json
gant
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
We
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
They've
gone
through
an
extensive
community
process
and
met
with
the
garrison
charter,
neighborhood
association,
specifically
around
parking
numerous
times,
and
that's
one
of
the
main
concerns
that
director,
butters
and
neighbors
of
that
and
they've
also
addressed
any
other
concerns
that
came
about
as
well.
But,
like
I
said,
parking
was
the
main
concern.
I
I
do
have
a
caller
caller
44.
BY
My
name
is
betty
tony
and
I'm
the
chairperson
of
the
roxbury
neighborhood
council,
and
I
would
like
to
go
on
record
first
saying
that
what
was
just
said
in
terms
of
extensive
neighborhood
meetings
is
disingenuous,
because
the
neighborhood
was
then
and
still
is
against
this
project,
because
it
has
not
been
worked
out
to
to
a
reasonable
point
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
and
I'm
very
upset,
because
I've
been
waiting
for
this.
I've
had
so
much
trouble
unmuting
and
in
addition
to
this
and
getting
on
on
the
video.
BY
In
addition
to
this,
the
if
this
board
rules
right
now
again
because
they
ruled
the
first
time
this
is
premature,
especially
while
it's
in
litigation,
even
the
of
all
this
building
going
on.
It's
just
not
good
business.
So
I'm
I'm
just
letting
you
know
that
we
vehemently
oppose
the
legality
of
this
appeal
and
the
variances
and
the
dangers
dangerousness
factor
of
this
appeal.
A
That
we
are
not
ruling
on
the
the
merits
of
the
validity
of
the
71
movement
attend
ruthman
park.
Those
projects-
all
we
are
doing,
is
limiting
our
decision
to
the
parking
places.
That's
it
that's
the
limitation,
and
it
appears
that
they
are
not
part
of
the
of
the
right
of
way.
In
that
sense,
the
litigation
does
not
apply
to
the
concerns
that
are
before
us
today.
That's.
BZ
Incorrect
that's
incorrect.
If
I
may
hi,
my
name
is
michael
duffy,
timothy
davis
and
duffy
100,
cambridge
street
boston
massachusetts.
I
represent
the
direct
butters
at
73
and
75
rutherford
street,
and
I
should
tell
you
that
you've
only
been
discussing
one
half
of
the
litigation
that's
currently
pending
in
the
land
court.
BZ
There
is
also
a
case
in
which
the
variances
that
were
granted
for
10
ruthban
park,
which
include
parking
variances,
are
under
appeal
and
they're
being
challenged
in
the
land
court
currently
and
and
the
proposal
before
the
board
right
now
is
to
amend
those
to
accommodate
an
additional
change,
and
it
would
be
improving
for
the
board
to
do
that
before
the
court
resolves
whether
the
original
variances
that
were
granted
for
the
project
in
the
first
place
are
going
to
be
upheld.
A
Well,
okay,
but
we're
not
dealing
again
we're
not
dealing
with
whether
the
original
variances
were
appropriate
or
not
we're
dealing
with
a
very
narrow
issue
here,
which
is
which
is
the
parking
spots
and
the
giveaway
given
that
they
have
been
moved
into
the
the
area
outside
of
the
area
of
the
right-of-way,
as
assuming
that
the
handicapped
space
is
eliminated,
then,
and
then
the
concern
that
we
have
about
the
litigation
has
gone
away.
A
BK
Yes,
mr
ehrlich,
if
I
may
york
absolutely
correct,
chattanooga
park
was
approved
in
may
of
2019.
71
roofing
street
was
approved
on
october
6
2020..
The
only
issue
before
you
today
is
the
it's
the
parking
plan.
Okay,.
A
Okay-
and
we
are
not
revisiting
the
original
approvals
right
exactly,
nor
are
we
to
take
the
opinion
one
way
or
another
on
the
ongoing
litigations,
exactly
the
parties
involved
to
sort
out
what
we
are.
What
we
were
talking
about
today
is
just
the
the
just
the
the
six
parking
spots
that
we
were
talking
about.
So
unless.
I
I
CA
Connie
forbes
47
womback
street,
and
this
is
not
only
about
the
parking
issue.
This
change
in
the
plan
took
away
all
the
green
space.
It
also
allows
parking
for
10
rutherford
park
on
71
ruthman
parks,
property,
which
is
fine.
The
current
owner
remains
the
current
owner,
but
if
these
are
condominiums,
they
will
no
longer
be
the
owners
of
this
property,
and
that
will
generate
part
of
me
the
need
to
deed
these
parcels
over
because
they're
not
needed
as
of
right
now.
CA
In
addition,
you're
speaking
about
access
that
space
we're
concerned
about
access
by
emergency
vehicles,
especially
I'm
glad
they
did,
move
the
the
handicapped
parking
off
the
easement
that
we
asked
them
to
do
that
before
it
seems
to
still
be
on
the
plan
but
accessed
by
emergency
vehicles
is,
is
very
important
and
turning
around
the
ability
to
maneuver
in
there.
This
has
never
been
re-examined
after
the
plans
were
put
in.
You
know
these
plans
because
where's
the
green
space.
We
asked
basic
questions.
CA
They
did
not
come
back
to
garrison
toronto
neighbor
association
to
discuss
these
issues
that
were
generated
after
they
changed
the
plans
and
I
don't
believe
the
isd
re-examined,
because
again
they
are
in
violation
of
other
issues,
and
if
it's
a
condominium,
then
you're
saying
that
the
owners
are
the
same
is
only
true
until
they
become
condominiums.
So
I
think
the
argument
that
is
owned
by
the
same
person
is
irrelevant
because
they
were
considered
to
be
separate
parcels.
CA
U
Yes,
karen
foley
boston
city
council
at
east,
wasabi,
george,
and
we
want
to
steam
with
you
about,
is
in
the
civic
organizations
and
oppose
this
project.
Thank.
BV
My
name
is
michael
close
with
project
right,
328,
blue
avenue.
We
have
issues
with
the
parking
design.
We
had
issues
with
them,
going
ahead
with
the
construction.
The
parking
without
waiting
for
this
appeal
process
go
through
they've
eliminated
the
green
space
behind
one
property,
but
we
find
that
when
they
do
that,
then
they
take
fire
safety
issues,
so
they
start
grilling
out
in
the
middle
of
the
street
on
the
sidewalk
okay,
I
have
issues
about
the
emergency.
F
E
On
the
last
case
of
the
day,
calling
voa,
115,
9723
180
to
190
high
park
avenue-
this
is
building
at
180
190
was
is
a
commercial
commercial
space.
Currently
is
three:
we
will
convert
to
a
four
change
of
view:
space
three
main
retail
change,
retail
food
service.
Cafe
the
legal
services
and
community
outreach,
the
violation,
article
55
section,
8
user
regulations
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
D
I
do
see
melinda
priest
and
my
at
my
address
is
89
machius
street.
The
person
who's
representing
us
today
is
brian
he's
been
on
this
whole
time.
You
just
got
kicked
out.
Are
you?
Are
you
back
on
yet
brian?
What's
his
name,
bj
oykel
or
brian
oykel
he's.
D
CB
Mr
chair
and
ladies
and
gentlemen,
on
the
panel
yeah,
we
were
just
denied
our
our
project
for
use
regulations.
It's
projects
at
180
to
190
hyde
park,
avenue.
A
Okay,
so
why
don't
you
describe
what
you,
what
your
intentions
are.
CB
Yeah
there's
another
drawing
the
the
current
drawing
of
the
building.
It's
that
one
there
yeah
so
currently
the
first
unit
on
the
left
side,
where
you
see
it's
got
a
half
wall,
that
is
the
market.
The
second
unit
184,
is
currently
unoccupied,
but
we're
in
the
process
of
putting
a
church
in
there
and
the
third
unit.
190
is
currently
a
salon,
but
because
of
code
they're
not
operating
out
of
that
salon.
Right
now,
just
they
had
to
abide
by
some
of
the
regulations
and
have
chosen
to
work
elsewhere
for
now.
CB
So
what
we're
proposing
at
the
unit
at
180
is
going
to
be
subdivided
into
two
separate
units.
CB
Where
those
stairs
are
and
that
wall
is,
is
going
to
be
built
up,
actually
the
current
tenants
have
already
built
that
wall,
so
182
is
currently
vacant.
184
is
semi-vacant,
like
we've,
we're
in
the
process
of
finishing
renovations
for
the
church,
but
also
in
that
the
back
of
that
unit,
the
the
room
with
the
double
doors,
that's
going
to
be
housing,
an
immigrant
connection
site,
which
is
going
to
offer
affordable
legal
services
for
immigration.
CB
As
you
can
see
in
184
the
office
in
that
back
corner,
that's
where
the
legal
services
will
be
happening,
then
sunday
services
will
happen
out
in
the
main
room.
Where
you
see
the
rows
of
chairs,
we
do
realize
it's
very
low
capacity
and
because
of
cove
right
now
the
capacity
is
pretty
low
as
it
is,
and
then
finally,
in
182
the
smaller
narrow
unit,
that's
where
the
coffee
bar
will
be
and
actually
amanda
oil
she's,
the
owner
of
the
public
coffee
company
and
that's
what
we'll
be
going
in
there.
CB
We
do
have
in
the
drawing
a
wheelchair,
accessible
washroom,
and
there
is
currently
four
tables
with
three
seats
at
each
table.
That
could
change
like
we
do
realize
it's
a
very
tight
spot,
we're
hoping
to
just
offer
a
good
place
for
people
to
sit
sit
their
coffee
work
on
a
computer,
okay,.
A
Let
me
ask
you
a
few
questions
who
owns
the
entire
building.
A
No,
no,
I
understand
I'm
just
saying
the
proposed
uses
are
all
tenants.
Now,
the
owner,
okay,
so
you've
got
you've,
got
a
market
on
it.
At
180
will
remain
retail
right.
Two
is
changing.
Retail
to
food
service.
Cafe
184
is
changing
the
retail
of
the
church
and
well,
it
says
188,
but
it's
190.,
that's
remaining
retail
salon,
so
the
so
180
and
190
are
unchanged.
CB
Right
right
and
actually
in
fact,
they're,
the
current
tenants
are
staying
in
there.
They're
just
kind
of
80
is
just
downsizing
their
space.
Okay,
so
184
you
mentioned
it's
only
a
church,
we're
actually
hoping
to
change
it
like
we
were
forbidden
for
legal
services,
which
is
going
to
be
an
outreach
of
the
church.
That's
going
to
happen
in
184.
A
Okay,
so
right,
this
is
a
question
of
use.
It's
not
yeah,
okay
and
is
the
are
the
tenants
for
180,
2
and
184
the
same.
A
So
it's
four
separate
entities:
okay,
all
right.
So
this
is
a
question
strictly
there's,
no
other
zoning
violation,
there's
just
a
question
of
use.
Yes,
okay,
fine
and.
A
No
we'll
get
we'll
get
to
that,
we'll
get
to
that
sure.
Okay,
all
right,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
drawings.
Q
The
drawings
are
fine,
I
guess
I'm
just
reviewing
the
proposed
uses.
So
do
you
need
relief
for
the
legal
services
because
that
does
not
appear
to
be
listed?
It.
Q
CB
Q
Just
want
to
make
sure
the
board
understands
that,
so
we
should
make
sure
that's
clear
and
then
I
guess
my
other
question
is
you
know
I
have
a
bit
of
a
disdain
for
great
and
exterior
aesthetics
of.
Is
there
any
proposal
to
update
the
outside
and
potentially
I
would
love
to
see
the
greats
removed,
and
you
know
I
think,
there's
a
beautiful
mural
on
the
other
side
and
it's
a
great
building.
I
think
it's,
it's
awesome,
I'd
love
to
see
it
upgraded
a
bit.
AN
CB
A
Questions,
thank
you,
but
we
don't
have.
We
don't
have
any
visual,
we
don't
have
an
elevation
showing
the
exterior.
Do
we?
No?
No.
We
haven't
okay.
A
AP
Yes,
good
afternoon,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
lindsay
santiana
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
and
a
butter's
meeting
for
this
proposal
was
held
on
february
11
2021
and
many
of
others
were
supportive
and
excited
to
have
this
in
jp.
The
applicant
also
decided
to
receive
the
support
of
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council,
so
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support
and
we're
also
excited
to
have
him
in
our
community.
Thank
you.
AQ
U
AI
A
Can
I
have
a
motion,
please
emotional
proof,
do
we
want,
even
though
this
is
strictly
about
use?
Do
we
want
to
have
the
bpa
design
review
to
look
at
the
exterior.
Q
A
BQ
A
Think
you're
right!
Well,
that's
I'm
feeling
delayed
too
all
right,
very
good.
Thank
you
very
much.
The
meeting
is
adjourned.
