here
in

Madam
chair,
we
we're
asking
for
a
deferral.
We
need
to
address
bpda
design,
comments
and
concerns
on
the
project.
We
just
need
a
little
more
time
to
file
revised

with
isd
in
order
to
address
those
concerns.
N
B
B

Okay,
thank
you,
they're,
going
to
go
into
the
first
case,
calling
boa
106,
8974
57
brook
street.
This
is
to
extend
living
space
into
the
basement
and
the
roof
deck
and
include
parking
in
the
rear
for
three
vehicles.
Congratulations,
article
2017-5!
This
is
the
east
boston,
ipod,
article
53,
section
9.
The
fluidity
ratio
is
excessive
in
article
53,
section
9,
the
usable
open
space
is
insufficient
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
P
This
is
a
relatively
straightforward,
pre-existing
three-family
dwelling
located
at
three
f-2000
district
at
the
corner
of
paris
and
brook
street,
that
is
in
the
lower
eagle
hills
section
of
east
boston.
Our
proposal
would
extend
living
space
in
connection
with
the
complete
renovation
of
the
existing
structure
into
the
basement
that
we're
not
proposing
to
create
a
new
unit.
It's
simply
going
to
be
merged
into
the
first
level
unit.
On
the
first
floor,
we're
also
proposing
at
a
roof
deck
that
will
be
accessed
by
skylight
hatch,
as.
F
P
P
1.0
far,
we've
been
increasing
that,
above
to
a
1.16,
I
believe,
and
the
other
violation
would
be
the
insufficient
usable
open
space
based
upon
the
change
to
add
parking
to
the
rear
of
the
building.
The
unit
sizes
are
the
units
two
and
three
would
actually
remain
the
same
exact
size.
What
they
are
now
we're
not
proposing
any
increase
in
the
fourier
image
units.
P
We
do
propose
rear
decks
off
of
the
back
of
the
building
as
a
again
in
addition
to
the
roof
deck
that
would
be
exclusive
to
unit
3.,
the
lower
level
unit
would
be
increased
based
upon
the
extension
into
the
basement
level.
There
is
a
clear
ceiling
height
of
at
least
eight
and
a
half
feet,
and
we
do
focus
on
the
elevations
for
the
plans.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
on
the
board.
P
K
They,
mr
liz,
is
correct.
They
show
spiral
stairs
to
the
roof
so
and
hatch.
That's
fine!
The
the
proposed
moving
space
in
the
basement
is
some
of
it
is
well
below
grade
at
the
front.
It's
six
foot
six
below
grade,
but
that's
where
the
family
room
is
and
and
the
and
what
the
bedroom
is
in
the
rear
is
there's
more
light
in
there.
So
and,
as
he
said,
it's
not
a
separate
unit.

X
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
faisa
sharif
with
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
to
this
proposal.
We
are
in
opposition
solely
based
on
process
when
this
applicant
initially
reached
out
to
the
mayor's
office.
Back
in
july,
mid
covid.
There
were
issues
related
to
setting
up
community
meetings
on
virtually,
and
you
know
there
was
a
little
bit
of
a
backlog
on
getting
to
that
process.
X
The
applicant
decided
to
make
a
business
decision,
which
was
to
go
ahead
and
complete
construction
and
start
figuring
all
of
the
items
that
they
were
seeking
zoning
really
for
at
this
time.
We
cannot
go
on
record
and
support
this
proposal.
The
understanding,
also
at
the
abutters
meeting,
that
our
office
held
there
were
several
members
of
the
pilot
block
association
that
had
concerns
related
to
what
was
existing.
X
T
The
response,
madam
chair,
is
that
it
was
largely
related
to
the
state
of
excavation
and
the
installation
of
the
groundwater
system,
pre-covered
that
that,
had
you
know,
been
excavated
and
my
client
just
was
concerned
about
the
site
conditions.
There
was
an
inspection
by
isd
and
a
direction
that
the
site
be
secured
and
they
determined
that
the
best
way
to
do
that
was
to
complete
the
installation
of
the
groundwater
system
and
cover
the
excavation
that
had
been
open
at
the
time.
T
X
Sure
can
I
make
one
introduction,
also
oftentimes
we're
put
in
a
place
in
which
things
are
existing.
It's
a
new
owner
and
folks
trying
to
legalize
something.
That's
existing
that
never
had
zoning
relief.
In
this
case,
it
was
very
clear
that
this
was
an
experienced
developer.
They
had
gone
before
the
isd
to
seek
something
that
they
knew
required.
Zoning
relief
and
decided
to
build
already,
so
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
and
which
sometimes
we
understand
that
there
are
things
that
people
inherit.
T
Madam
chair
again
there
there
was
an
inspection
by
isd
in
july
during
the
moratorium
related
to
the
state
of
the
excavation
for
the
groundwater
system,
and
the
directive
was
to
make
the
site
safe
and
and
compliant.
So
the
decision
was
made
to
complete
that
portion
of
it
and
to
fill
in
the
excavation.
We
also
worked
closely
with.

O
Good
morning,

with
the
project
architects,
with
the
with
the
business
address
of
415
to
ponce
down
in
dorchester.
The
proposal
before
you
is
to
subdivide
the
existing
lot
at
747
to
749
east
5th
street,
creating
a
new
lot
on
swallow
street
and
to
construct
a
single-family
home
on
the
newly
created
lot.
O
Wisconsin
zoning
violations
are
created
in
the
existing
building,
which
include
far
and
parking,
but
again
there's
no
change
to
the
building
itself.
Just
a
lot.
There
is
still
26
0.2
feet
between
the
two
buildings
and
the
proposed
building
on
swallows
is
a
four-story
residential
building
with
parking
at
grapes
and
all
the
stars.
One
car
garage
so
you'd
be
able
to
fit
two
conceivably
two
vehicles
in
there.
O
Accurate,
madam
chandi,
the
the
hogan
family
owns.
This
property
is
subdividing
and
building
a
new,
the
new
single
family
for
their
son.
The
family
will
maintain
ownership
of
both
houses
and
stay
in
the
property.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
for
matt.
Matt
hogan
is
a
boston

to
build

came
after

it
just
had
to
do
with
drainage

how
it

plan
and
the
property
on
the
right-hand
side,
which
is
along
north
beacon
street,
is
the
subject
property.
AF
AF
A
AF
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
and
you'll
see
in
this
slide
that,
first
of
all,
we
are
open
from
10
in
the
morning
until
seven
in
the
evening,
we've
conducted
a
parking
analysis
that
shows
that
the
peak
time
is
really
eight
to
eight
twenty
in
the
morning,
but
it
ends
at
nine
o'clock.
We're
not
even
going
to
open
until
10
o'clock
am
you
can
see.
There
are
24
available
parking
spaces
here
and
the
just
to
point
out.
Madam
chair.
AF
We
have
agreed
with
the
canvas
board
that
we
will
have
a
dedicated
outdoor
security
professional,
as
well
as
a
dedicated
outdoor
parking
lot
attendant,
who
will
be
responsible
for
making
sure
that
vehicular
and
pedestrian
traffic
moves
smoothly
and
safely
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide
as
well,
ma'am
chair
this
is
the
internal
that
we're
looking
at.
On
the
left
hand
side,
you
can
see
a
very
large
waiting
room,
it's
about
a
thousand
square
feet.
It
holds
67
people
which
is
much
more
than
the
hourly
traffic.
AF
We
will
have
the
sales
floor
itself,
accommodates
20
people
and,
if
I
may
point
out
on
here
at
the
very
front,
bottom
left
of
the
door,
that's
an
outside
security
professional
who
is
responsible
for
checking,
ids
and
making
sure
they
are
valid
and
that
people
are
21
or
older,
as
you
know,
before
they
can
enter
the
property.
We
also
have
a
second
id
check
using
technology
that
you
would
find
in
a
in
a
bar
to
check
the
validity
of
a
license
or
an
id
and
that
they're
21.
AF
you
can
see
sort
of
in
the
bottom
left
middle
there,
where
it
says
check
in
that's
a
second
security
guard,
but
we'll
check
for
a
second
time
before
they're
allowed
on
the
sales
floor.
And
then,
if
you
look
on
the
sales
floor
to
the
top
you'll
see
another
id
check,
that's
the
third
and
final
checkout
time
when
they
order
their
products.
If
we
could,
please
go
to
the
next
slide,.
AF
Yes,
please,
of
course,
if
the
delivery
of
products,
so
if
a
customer
now
has
come
in
to
the
to
the
property
weighted
gotten
allowed
onto
the
sales
flow,
when
they
go
up
and
deal
with
their
sales
professional,
when
they
decide
what
products
they
want
to
have
the
sales
professional.
For
example,
if
you
look
at
that
first
or
second
orange
sales
professional
with
the
id,
they
will
then
move
to
the
right
into
the
vault
and
into
the
secure
area.
AF
AF
Of
course,
yes,
it
it
could
be
depending
on
the
scheduling,
it
could
be
say,
nine
o'clock
in
the
evening
or
five
o'clock
in
the
morning
when
we
were
working
with
captain
russell,
he
had
had
gone
over
our
transportation
and
our
delivery
processes
and
to
be
finalized.
With
the
now
captain,
harrington's
group.
AF
AF
So
many
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
the
experience
for
the
customer
begins
long
before
they
come
to
us.
They
go
online.
They
can
make
an
appointment,
they
can
find
transportation
opportunities,
they
can
take
a
look
at
all
of
our
products,
they
can
purchase
product
and-
and
we
know
that
sixty
percent
currently
are-
are
ordering
online.
So
this
is
again
to
keep
down
the
x.
AF
AF
AF
It's
all
on
the
same
lot.
The
landlord
has
sent
you
an
overview
as
well,
because
this
is
they've
owned,
the
dunkin
donuts
and
this
entire
lot
for
more
than
65
years
and
they
went
through
as
they
say,
and
they
let
it
to
you
dozens
of
applicants
and
they
wanted
something
that
would
support
the
dunkin
donuts
because,
as
you
know,
these
are
still
destinations.
K
AF
AF
Sure,
thank
you
very
much.
There
are
24
shared
parking
spaces.
There
we've
conducted
a
parking
analysis
which
you
should
have.
I
hope
you
have
it
was
sent
over
last
friday.
I
believe-
and
it
shows
peak
time
between
eight
and
nine
in
the
morning
and
another
small
peak
time
between
2
15
and
3
15
in
the
afternoon.
AF
During
those
peak
times
there
was
never
anything
less
than
10
spaces
and
on
average
it
was
15
spaces
available
throughout
the
entire
day,
and
as
we
know
that
an
average
visit
is
7
to
10
minutes,
we
use
a
conservative
15
minutes
so
that,
if
you
have
10
spaces
open
every
15
minutes,
that's
equivalent
to
about
40
spaces
an
hour.
So
we
believe
there's
plenty.
There
number
one
number
two
we're
also
starting
with
appointment.
Q
Yes,
mandatory
members
of
the
board
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
elected
on
record
in
opposition
to
this
proposal,
reiterating
our
stance,
we
voiced
opposition
as
well
when
the
applicant
was
before
the
cannabis
board.
The
community
meeting
was
conducted
in
september
of
2018..
Q
Because
of
this
large
section,
the
community
feels
uncomfortable
with
this
proposed
applicant
being
so
close
to
a
high
concentration
of
young
knights.
There's
also
concerns
voiced
from
local
local
officials
concerns
regarding
the
safety
of
that
intersection,
there's
already
serious
traffic
concerns
regarding
the
intersection
of
north
beacon
with
market
and
we're
concerned
that
this
proposal
will
have
negative
effects
on
that
existing
condition
as
well.
Q
A
Q
A
D
Q
Not
not
since
then,
no
so
they
went
to
the
bright
nelson
improvement
association
before
the
public
meeting
in
september,
and
then
it
was
conducted
in
2018
and
then
obviously,
as
the
board
is
aware,
as
the
city
council
and
the
mayor's
office
can
discuss
how
equity
factors
into
the
community
process
and
how
applications
are
weighed,
there's
a
significant
gap
between
that
term.
Okay,
thank
you.
Connor.

A
On
hold
on,
let's,
let's
save
all
conversation,
what
I
do
want
to
hear
is
information
from
public
officials.
I
want
to
hear
from
the
baia
I
want
to
hear
from
the
aca
and
any
direct
abutters,
please,
because
I
know
this.
This
area
is
commercial
right
of
that
intersection,
but
then
it
becomes
residential
on
both
north
b
north
beacon
and
market
street,
as
you
go
to
brighton
center
and
into
union
square.
So
let's
hear
people
in
that
sequence.
Please.

Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
state
representative,
michael
moran,
and
kevin
honan
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
in
opposition
of
this
proposal.
They
believe
the
proponent
lacks
community
support.
Furthermore,
this
site
is
situated
at
an
e-rating
intersection,
which
is
very
dangerous
with
heavy
traffic
and
there's
constant
traffic
going
in
and
out
of
the
dunkin
donuts.
AI
It's
also
very
close
to
two
local
schools.
The
st

the

where
many

live
annual
gardens
in
closing
70
percent
of
people
in
austin
writing
voted
in
support
of
the
marijuana
ballot
question.
This
opposition
is
solely
based
upon
the
citability
and
suitability
of
this
particular
site.
Thank
you.
So.

AJ

I
have
submitted
a
traffic
report
from
vhb,
which
is
recent
with
with
the
location,
not
operating
weekday
mornings,
c,
f,
n

It's
an
f
intersection
weekday
evening
is
c
e
and
f
it's
a
d
saturday
midday.
It
is
a
c.
We
also
have
lots
of
construction
approved
at
new
balance,
the
running
track.
They
have
another
building
that
they're
going
to
be
building
a
hotel.
We
have
stop
and
shop.
We
have
other
projects
that
have
been
approved
on
north
beacon.
AJ
All
of
those
will
be
adding
to
this
traffic
and
making
the
intersection
worse
as
it
is.
The
site
is
shared
with
24
parking
spots
with
dunkin
donuts.
There's
three
entrances
to
that
parking
lot.
It
is
a
danger
at
all
times
it
doesn't
matter
if
it's
peak
or
not
peak
the
parking
lot
is
full.
If
you
look
at
page
3
of
the
proponents,
they
have
a
picture
of
the
building
with
the
billboard
on
it
and
the
parking
lot
full
cappuccinos
is
not
operating
at
that
time.
It's
closed.
The
parking
lot
is
full
as
it
is.
AK
AJ
Report
that
I
sent
the
board
of
people
exiting
the
location-
and
there
is
also
for
your
question
on
the
billboard-
there
is
three
billboards,
one
building
size
and
then
two
on
the
other
side.
I
haven't
seen
anything
that
says
that
they're
legal
or
not,
not
that
that
has
that,
but
that
just
answers
your
question.
AJ
They
also
stated
to
the
cannabis
board
with
where
they
got
their
approval,
that
they
are
close
to
the
c,
the
d
and
the
b
line.
They
are
nowhere
close
to
the
c,
the
b
line.
That
is
just
not
factual
at
all.
They
stated
that
there
is
a
parking
lot
public
parking
nearby.
Their
arrow
is
the
star
where
they
put.
It
is
the
parking
lot
for
court
furniture.
AJ
There
is
no
public
parking
lots
nearby;
they
are
all
private
parking
lots.
They
also
quote
captain
russell
as
if
he
consulted
them
and
supported
them.
He
did
not.
I
did
forward
a
letter
from
captain
russell
saying
that
he
has
met
with
every
dispensary
that
has
come
into
him.
He
will
work
with
them
if
they
get
approved.
Just
had
concerns
about
that
intersection
being
very
busy
and
he
had
concerns
about
it
being
the
proximity
to
faneuil
gardens
as
we've
had
issues
at
faneuil
gardens
this
year.
AJ
AJ
It's
a
side
issue.
We
have,
we
have
supported
one
in
cleveland
circle
and
we
have
supported
another
location
as
well.
So
we
have
supported
two
recreational
dispensaries.
I'm
sorry!
I
can't
even
speak
today.
So
that
is
not
a
philosophical
issue
at
all
a
lot.
A
lot
of
our
members
do
support
marijuana
use
on
our
board,
so
that
is
not
it
at
all.
The
site
is
just
not
appropriate
for
the
traffic
it
is.
AJ
It
is
overburdened
right
now
and
the
site
is
overburned
right
now
with
dunkin
donuts
and
to
be
bringing
that
many
people
also
his
inaccuracies
on
what
he
portrayed
to
the
cannabis
board
is
completely
different
than
what
he's
saying
today,
and
we
take
that
also
on
his
petition.
Most
of
his
petitions
is
a
name
and
a
signature,
and
it
says
patron
or
resident,
that's
really
hard
to
tell
and
then
he's
gonna
fire
sire.
A
AJ
I
have
provided
the
board
the
bhb
report,
it's
dated
october
30
2020
to
you
that
has
the
intersections.
It
has
the
rates
it
has
the
crash.
It
has
all
of
that
on
there
to
show
you.
You
know
not
me
saying
it,
but
that
it
is
legitimately
not
a
proper
place
for
it.
The
intersection
cannot
take
such
a
high,
dense
use,
especially
with
everything
else
that
we
already
have
approved
in
the
pipeline.

good
morning,

members
of

my
name
is
john
cusack.
I
live
at
186
washington
street
brighton
in
agreement
with
many
of
the
other
speakers,
I'm
in
opposition
to
this,
not
on
a
philosophical
basis,
but
on
the
use
on
that
lot.
The
traffic
is
a
situation
where
it's
already
a
dangerous
intersection.
AE
A
AF
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
do
have
our
attorney
has
finally
connected
with
me
so
he's
here.
If
you
need
him,
madam
chair,
we
have
spent
three
years
focused
on
this.
I
can
tell
you
that
the
papa
gino's
at
peak
hour
is
going
to
be
higher
traffic
use
by
two
or
three
people,
because
people
come
to
these
dispensaries
more
evenly
across
the
the
part
of
an
entire
day.
I
want
to
remind
everybody
that
we
are
only
going
to
be
appointment
only
all
due
respect
to
annabelle's
comments.
I
don't
know
nothing.
A
A
AF
Thank
you.
My
factual
response,
madam
chair,
is
that
we
are
more
than
five
times
the
buffer
requirement
to
st
joseph's,
more
than
three
times
the
buffer
required
to
mckinney
field
and,
more
than
two
times
the
buffer
required
for
faneuil
gardens.
We
have
provided
an
architect
letter
that
indicates
the
occupancy
that
you've
asked
about
and,
and
we
have
have
significant
community
support,
I
see
that
our
landlord
had
his
hand
up
to
speak
with
you.
AF
I
just
want
you
to
know,
madam
chair,
that
we
did
provide
to
you
a
parking
study
very
recently.
That
shows
that
this
is
more
than
adequate
parking
spaces.
We've
got
dedicated
per
the
conditions.
You
ask
for
dedicated
external
parking
lot
attendants
and
security
professionals.
There's
plenty
of
plenty
of
parking
spaces.
A
A
A
B
A
A
B
B
Yeah
I'm
going
to
call
them.
Let
me
call
them
into
the
record
and
we'll
go
from
there.
Yes,
sir
calling

bla
104

the
case
bla
105
9528,
I
believe
15
cases
and
they're
all
going
to

I'll.

AT
K
During
the
pandemic.
There
have
been
a
lot
of
reports
about
worker
protests,
about
lack
of
timely
ppe,
speed
up
in
the
workplace,
safety,
complaints,
increasing
rates
of
injury,
low
wages
and
and
if
they
are
going
to
come
back
with
another
proposal,
I
certainly
hope
that
they
will
upgrade
the
typical
contractors
they've
been
using
around
the
country
just
in
the
last
year.
In
the
amazon
project
in
kentucky,
one
worker
died,
two
more
died
recently
in
the
virginia
project.
K
So
while
I
am
I'm
perfectly
willing
to
second
the
the
motion
that
was
made,
I
just
would
appreciate
it.
If
mr
hanley
told
his
clients
that,
if
they're
going
to
come
back
at
another
location,
they
better
come
back
with
an
explanation
of
why
their
business
model
may
or
may
not
be
consistent
with
what
the
expectation
in
boston
is
for
community
standards.

Thank
you,
madam.
So
first
came
to
rediscussion
calling
doa
100-6765-407
saratoga
street.
This
will
extend
the
living
area
of
unit
one
into
the
basement
by
building
an
interior
wall
petition.
According
to
proposed
architectural
plans
and
large
two
windows
and
one
door
opening
meet
to
meet
basement
egress
the
violations,
article
53
section
9,
the
fluidity
ratio
is
excessive.
Naming
address,
go
to
record.
A
L
B
I'll
hold
off
on
that
case
calling
the
next
case
only
doa
167
103
to
111
art
street.
This
is
the
change
of
auction
21
residential
units
and
dental
office
to
21,
executive,
suites
and
dental
office.
Also
to
renovate
the
violations.
Article
8
section
7,
the
executive
suite
is
not
listed
in
the
use
of
charts
of
boston,
proper
b10.
The
use
is
forbidden
name
and
address
for
the.
AU
AU
This
particular
application
falls
within
boston,
proper.
It
is
in
a
zoning
sub-district
of
b10,
which
is
general
business.
The
only
relief
needed
is
for
use
and,
as
was
mentioned
by
secretary
of
fortune,
the
executive
suite
is
not
listed
as
a
use
in
the
category
so
that
a
forbidden
use.
However,
since
then,
there's
been
an
amendment
to
the
zoning
code
through
the
zoning
mission
to
make
all
executive
suite
now
conditional
uses,
we
went
through
go
through
the
floor
plan
as
well.
AU
As
part
of
this
proposal,
we
had
met
with
the
bid
and
the
boston
business
improvement
district
and
got
their
support
as
well
as
our
abutters
for
this
kind
of
use.
My
client
has
concentrated
issues
away
from
neighborhoods
they've,
taken
all
of
their
other
units
away
in
the
neighborhoods
to
concentrate
this
specifically
in
the
downtown
proper
area
and
and
that's
why
we
believe
we
got
the
support
of
our
local
civic
association.
A
A
AU
AU
I'm
sorry
18.,
okay,
those
range
in
sizes
from
320
square
feet
to
406
square
feet,
the
one
bedrooms
of
which
there
are
two
of
them
are
690
square
feet
and
the
two
beds
of
which
there
are
one
or
800
there's
one
860
square
foot
unit.
These
have
been
used
as
executive
suites
for
a
number
of
years.
That
was
the
intent
of
when
this
prior
to
the
ordinance
being
put
forward.
AU
Sure
sure
so
my
client
is
saunder.
They
own
their
have
units
throughout
the
world.
They've
had
a
growing
business
in
boston
in
which
they
specialize
in
tourism,
business
stays
and
hospital
stays.
The
average
length
of
their
stay
is
four
to
five
days
and
really
it's
it's
been
primarily
the
business
traveler
and
tourist
traveler
that
they've
concentrated
on
they
have
their
own
property
managers
that
handle
their
sites.
They
have
even
down
to
keyless
entry
noise
alarms.
AU
So
if
there's
any
issue,
they're
notified
right
away,
they
have
a
staff
of
25
local
people
within
the
boston
area
to
respond
to
any
request,
any
complaint
on
at
all
that
that's
given
and,
and
they
work
with
the
local
community
as
well.
They
work
directly
with
the
bid
on
this
application
and
they've
been
operating
for
a
number
of
years,
with
no
issues
and
really,
as
I
had
mentioned,
they
are
staying
out
of
residential
areas,
concentrating
in
the
business
districts
right
now,.
AU
So
the
one
thing
in
the
definition
of
executive
suite
is
to
include
a
kitchen
facility,
madam
chair,
and
their
tourists
and
their
clients
like
to
be
in
the
neighborhood
they
shop,
local,
they
tend
to
cook.
Sometimes
they
have
extended
stay,
so
the
hotel
requires
that
to
be
removed,
and
that's
so
that's
one
of
the
linchpins
of
the
executive
suite
that
allows
them
to
have
that.
AU
N
N
N
AU
So
they
were
throughout
the
different
areas
of
boston.
Once
the
ordinance
had
passed,
they
let
their
leases,
expire
and
anywhere.
That
was
residential,
concentrating
in
the
downtown
florida
in
places
like
cambridge
as
well
so
places
like
battery
wharf
or
places
like
arch
street
near
the
theater
district,
where
there's
tourism,
where
there's
business
stay,
and
these
are
they
take
on
full
building.
So
what
they
do
not
have.
This
piecemeal
building
can
have
some
residential
some
commercial.
They
they
take
the
whole
building
as
to
make
things
easier.
They
would
manage
it,
they
would
handle
it.
N
N
AU
AV
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
lisa
high
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
are
not
supporting
this
proposal
solely
because
this
is
not
aligned
with
the
mayor's
housing
policy
for
the
city
of
boston.
We
held
in
a
barters
meeting
on
october
23
2019,
the
downtown
boston
residents
association
is
in
opposition.
However,
they
do
have
support
from
the
downtown
boston
bid,
as
well
as
20
support
letters.
AV
W
I
don't
from
counselor
flynn's
office.
The
counselor
would
like
to
call
recording
opposition
councillor
flynn.
Councillor
block
also
submitted
an
opposition
letter
to
the
board
as
well.
It
is
scapular
flink's
position
that
the
city
is
on
a
photo
is
in
an
affordable
housing
crisis
and
the
proposal
for
conversions
to
the
security
suites
will
take
valuable
units
for
housing
stock
from
long-term
presidents
council
of
flint
buildings.
Proposals
like
this
run,
contrary
to
the
city's
short-term
rental
ordinance,
would
allow
large
corporations
to
use
a
security
suites
as
a
loophole
to
continue
operating
investor
units.
S
AD
We
did
submit
a
support
letter
for
this
just
a
few
days
back,
it's
very
short
so
I'll,
but
just
to
summarize
there
was
a
prior
application
by
this
component.
Just
a
few
blocks
away.
It
is
still
also
inside
of
the
downtown
boston
bid
and
we
carefully
vetted
that
back
in
the
spring,
just
before
the
pandemic
hit
it's
it.
That
was
in
a
very
similar
setting
to
a
103
r
street
in
terms
of
being
a
dense,
mixed-use
environment.
AD
We
were
pleased
with
that
proposal
that
they
conduct
extensive
community
outreach
and
therefore
we
so
we
support
that
proposal
and
in
this
case
again
as
with
their
prior
proposal
earlier
in
the
spring,
just
a
few
blocks
away.
We
worked
with
them
to
make
sure
that
they
did
extensive
utter
outreach
and
we
are
not
aware
of
any
concerns
or
complaints
raised
by
the
surrounding
community
in
in
terms
of
issues
with
the
103
archery
proposal.
L
AT
AT
Yes,
martin
rotter
144
beacon
street
in
the
back
bay.
We're
very
concerned
about
this
tendency
and
sander
is
one
of
the
major
companies
doing
this
to
take
residential
units
off
the
marketplace
and
convert
them
to
executive
suites,
where
they
are
then
used,
in
effect,
in
violation
of
the
str
ordinance
to
provide
accommodations
to
generic
tourists.
I
would
also
like
to
note
that,
contrary
to
what
the
lawyer
has
said,
executive
suites
are
still
a
forbidden
use
in
many
parts
of
the
city.
AT
Sonder
is
well
known
for
operating
these
units
as
hotels
without
a
hotel
license,
and
we
see
a
number
of
applications
for
similar
conversions
underway
from
them
and
for
others.
So
we
are
fully
I'm
fully
in
support
of
the
sentiments
and
the
points
about
policy
made
by
kenzie
councillors,
kenzie
bark
and
sibi
george
and
ed
flynn,
opposing
this
kind
of
conversion.
I've
also
noted
that
in
your
hearing
last
week
you
rejected
the
zba
denied
applications
also
for
residential
conversions
into
executive
suites
and
make
a
point
about
being
consistent
in
this
report.
Thank.
AS
AU
Yes,
ma'am
sure
we're
not
going
trying
to
do
a
loophole
or
use
a
loophole,
we're
simply
using
what
the
ordinance
left
out,
which
was
to
allow
a
commercial
use
to
keep
this
tourist
industry
still
intact.
There
was
a
whole
community
process,
so
it's
not
like
there
was
a
loophole
and
we
could
just
get
a
license.
We
had
to
go
through.

Good
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
morancy,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
west
broadway
in
south
boston.
I
represent
colin
dunphy,
the
owner
of
the
property.
Madam
chair
members.
This
is
an
existing
single
story,
commercial
building
that
is
currently
not
being
used.
AB
AB
AB
AB
AB
AB
Additionally,
there's
there
was
a
note
at
the
end
of
the
refusal
letter
about
pic
approval
required
for
proposed
bays
overhanging,
the
public
way
those
bays
have
been
eliminated,
so
there
are
no
overhanging
bays.
The
other
violations
remain
the
same.
This
is
base
code.
This
is
one
of
the
few
areas
left
in
south
boston
that
is
still
under
the
base.
Code.
AB
Reason
being
is
that
this
is
actually
within
the
area
plan
south
boston,
dorchester
avenue,
so
the
violations
stand
in
terms
of
insufficient
lot
area
because
of
the
default
h-150,
and
somebody
unbelievably
for
a
six-unit
building
here
at
10.
000
square
foot
lot
would
be
required
by
zoning.
The
lot
here
is
2773
square
feet.
AB
The
other
violations
are
for
far
insufficient
usable
open
space.
There
isn't
any,
because
obviously
there
was
there
would
be
opposition
to
roof
decks
here.
There's
a
side
yard
insufficiency
on
woodward
street.
The
building
is
going
to
be
set
back
one
foot
so
that
the
existing
sidewalk
line
on
woodwood
street
can
be
continued.
There
is
an
interruption
there
because
of
the
footprint
of
the
existing
building.
AB
The
side
yard
setback
on
the
right
side
was
increased
to
five
and
a
half
feet.
That
was
in
response
to
the
concerns
of
of
the
owner
and
resident
of
the
building
next
door
at
351
dorchester
street
there's
a
three
foot
rear
yard
setback,
the
required
rear
setback
would
be
10
feet
with
the
shallow
lot
exception
and
in
the
front
the
building
is
would
be
constructed
directly
out
to
the
property
line.
AB
No
roof
deck
is
proposed,
so
I'll
start
with
that.
That's
important
in
terms
of
the
units
they're,
all
two
bedroom,
two
bath
units
they're
two
per
floor
and
going
from
unit
one
to
six.
The
sizes
are
905,
869,
949,
934,
922
and
900.,
and,
as
I
mentioned,
there
is
no
parking.
The
site
is
a
block
away
about
a
three-minute
walk
from
andrew
station
on
the
mbta's
red
line.
AB
No,
it's
not
mr
ehrlich,
it's
it
will
be.
It
will
be
recessed
back
one
foot
on
the
woodwood
street
side
from
where
the
existing
building
comes
out
to
allow
for
sidewalk
continuation
on
the
right
side.
The
setback
of
basically
five
and
a
half
feet
of
the
right
side
of
the
building,
as
viewed
from
dorchester
street,
would
be
eliminated.
There'd
be
a
five
and
a
half
foot
setback
there
to
allow
for
a
view
corridor
in
a
lightning
air
corridor
through
to
351
dorchester
street.
Okay,.

I'm
filling
in

here.
Madam
chair
members,
this
is
a
matter
that
also
has
been
around
for
quite
a
while,
as
the
board
may
remember,
this
was
supposed
to
be
niall
sutherland's
last
matter
before
the
board
last
december,
and
I
think
that
hopefully,
today
we'll
be
able
to
conclude
this.
AB
Everything
has
been
put
on
the
record
at
least
twice
madam
chair,
but
essentially
it
is
just
to
replace
an
existing
day
care
use
on
the
ground
floor
with
two
apartments.
The
board
may
recall
that
this
is
a
property
subject
to
a
bra
land
disposition
agreement.
That,
in
fact
requires
this
first
floor
to
be
used
only
for
residential
purposes.
AB
The
last
time
before
the
board,
when
niles
presented
there
was
a
deferral
to
allow

continued
engagement
with
the
garrison
trotter
neighborhood
association
niles
had
an
online
meeting
with
garrison
trotter
a
week
ago
sunday,
and
my
understanding
is
that
the
result
of
that
meeting
was
a
vote
of
unanimous
approval
by
garrison
trotter.
The
two
units
being
proposed.
There's

two

As
mourinho
mentioned,
the

started
back
in

19th.
We
had
our
first
abutters
meeting
and
it
has
been
an
extensive
process
who
had
concerns
and
the
concerns
seem
to
be
mitigated.

to
go

not
a
thousand
percent
certain.
Perhaps
mr
chu
can
speak
that,
I'm
not
sure
of
that.
That's
correct
dennis
that
matter
was
resolved
and
this
scott.
This
is
scott
from
arthur's
office.
You
you
resolve
this
with
isd
scott.
That
is
correct.

Thank
you,
ma'am
dennis
quilty
attorney
at
28
state
representing
the
property
owner,
thomas
carrity.
What
would
like
to
make
it
clear
to
the
board
that
mr
garrity
owns?
Obviously
both
29
and
29
rear
the
29
rear
29,
rather
is
the
existing
condition,
is
a
three
three
apartment
dwelling
on
that
matter.
There
is
no
work
to
be
done
as
described
everything
on
the
front
building.
If
you
will
29
bigelow
is
an
existing
condition.

It
seems
to
be
a
condition
that
again
has
been
approved.
I
do
want
to
make
it
clear
to
the
board
in
one
of
our
storms
in
the
early
spring,
the
building
was
further
demolished
by
a
tree
falling
from
a
neighbor's
yard
onto
the
building,
crushing
a
lot
of
the
building
crushing
mr
gary's
vehicle,
which
was
parked
there
at
the
time.
