From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearings 1-10-23
Description
Zoning regulates the use and dimensional boundaries of privately owned buildings and land. The Zoning code is in place to protect the neighborhoods from the construction of buildings or structures that do not fit into the context of a neighborhood. The Zoning Board of Appeal hears appeals for varying the application of the Zoning Code and determines when it is appropriate to grant deviations from code restrictions.

A

Minister.
What's
up
sorry
chairs
also
says:
yes,
minutes
approved
all
right.
D
We'll
go
to
extensions
here
for
9
30
a.m.
Calling
first
case
boa
103
5611
address
is
28
Goodell
Road
is
there
an
Africa
is
the
applicant
here.
If
so,
please,
state
name
and
address
for
the
record.
D
Okay
board
members:
the
recommendation
from
the
board
is
sorry
from
Council
is
that
the
belief
is
originally
granted
on
October
9th
2020
was
appealed
to
the
Superior
Court.
That
appeal
was
dismissed
on
January
1st
2021,
so
the
relief
remains
valid
until
20
January,
21st
2023
and
the
recommendation
is
the
board
grant
extension
relief
if
we
find
it
appropriate
to
do
so.
Does
the
African
wish
to
add
anything?
No.
A
Okay,
Mr
Ms.
I
O
January
2024
right.
G
Q
A
D
D
The
recommendation
from
or
councils
at
this
relief
was
originally
granted
on
July,
12,
2019.
D
and
even
with
the
covet
tolling
relief
would
have
expired
on
October
17
2022
or
has
expired
on
October
17,
2022
and
typically
extensions
must
be
submitted
prior
to
the
expiration
date,
and
the
recommendation
is
that
the
request
for
an
extension
is
denied
unless
we
can
hear
a
compelling
reason
as
to
why
the
extension
should
be
granted.
E
R
You,
madam
chair,
this
project
has
been
in
the
works
for
over
six
years.
It
was
approved
for
design
review
after
an
expensive
period
in
during
the
covet
period,
at
which
time
a
separate
architectural
firm
is
hired
to
execute
the
construction
documents
that
firm,
unfortunately
met
with
financial
difficulty
and
was
disbanded.
R
It
was
a
long,
difficult
process
to
retrieve
the
documents
and
resume
control
over
the
project,
at
which
time
we
discovered
that
the
totaling
had
expired,
but
the
project
has
been
through
extensive
review
by
the
neighborhood
association
and
the
be
an
amenity
to
the
neighborhood,
not
least
by
providing
traditional
dwelling
units.
Excuse
me
in
the
additional
building
where
these
services
are
currently
held.
R
We're
ready
Madam
chair
to
submit
for
final
permit
approval,
but
that
can
be
lengthy,
so
I
would
say
a
year
would
be
preference.
A
Yes,
thank
you.
Mr
Valencia,
yes,
Ms!
We
well,
yes,
Mr
Langham,
yes,
Mr
Aiken,
yes,
Madam,
chair,
says
yes,
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Good
luck.
Thank.
D
Okay,
going
into
hearing
schedule
for
9
30
a.m.
First,
are
there
any
requests
for
deferrals
or
withdrawals
for
the
for
the
9
30
a.m?
Cases
only.
T
Yes,
Madam
chair,
Mr,
secretary
attorney,
Nixa,
Zula,
McDermott,
quilty
and
Miller.
This
is
for
1617
Tremont
Street,
Mr
Aiken.
It
is
on
the
930s.
It's
about
six
or
seven
down.
A
Can
you
elaborate
deferral.
T
Yes,
Madam
chair,
Mr
Aiken.
Yes,
this
again
is
for
1617
Tremont
Street
in
Mission
Hill.
If
you'd
like
to
request
a
deferral,
we
need
to
finalize
Community
process.
We
also
need
to
file
revise
plans
with
ISD
in
order
to
re-advertise
for
some
additional
groups
that
we
might
need.
So
we
need
a
few
months
in
order
to
do
that.
Q
A
T
Apologize,
thank
you.
You
said
a
few
months.
Yes,
yes,
sir,
that
would
be
great
April
or
May.
April
would
be
great
Mr

Thank

Forbes

Braintree,
it's
Mr

affordable,
19-story

with
126

There
was
some
litigation
Mr

B
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
and
happy
New,
Year
and
three
to
the
members
of
the
board,
welcome
I,
look
forward
to
working
with
the
new
board.
My
name
is
Richard
Linz
of
the
business
address
of
245
Sumner
Street,
who
needs
lots
of
them
here
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
Madam
chair
this,
as
the
secretary
and
indicated,
is
a
proposal
to
erect
a
new
three-story.
B
A
three-family
dwelling
located
304
Paris
Street
I
do
have
some
overviews
photos
of
the
site
as
we're
looking
here,
we
can
see
the
surrounding
context
of
neighborhood
of
various
multi-family
dwellings
on
the
right
side
of
the
screen.
You
do
see
the
Sacred
Heart
Church.
The
church
is
the
current
owner
of
the
site.
Our
client
is
the
proposed
developer
and
proponent
of
the
project.
If
we
could
jump
to
the
next
slide,
just
to
give
ourselves
a
little
bit
more
surrounding
context.
B
This
is
a
bird's
eye
view
showing
the
relative
relationship
of
the
surrounding
context
of
buildings
existing
both
in
the
bettington
street
in
Paris
Street
neighborhood.
Our
site
is
currently
a
single
story,
garage
which
is
in
a
very
poor
condition.
It
is
not
used
for
parking,
it
is
simply
just
a
structure
that
exists
on
the
site,
with
a
curb
cut
that
would
be
in
connection
with
this
project
closed
to
allow
for
on-street
parking
if
you
could
add
advance
to
the
next
slide,
please.
B
B
This
is
just
a
different
view.
Looking
down
the
street
towards
heading
towards
Central
Square,
again,
our
site
would
be
located
on
the
right
hand,
side
next
slide.
Please
I've
provided
the
board
with
some
context,
photos
of
recent
projects
and
development
immediate
vicinity.
These
are
buildings
that
have
been
approved
most
recently
in
the
area
of
Paris
Street,
Brook,
Street
and
bettington
Street,
just
to
provide
the
board
a
sense
of
what
the
type
of
projects
that
are
that
are
that
have
been
built
most
recently
in
the
immediate
vicinity.
Next
slide,
please.
B
This
is
a
proposed
rendering
of
our
project.
We
do
propose
this
at
four
stories,
as
indicated
in
the
information
that
was
provided
by
the
secretary.
This
is
proposed
to
be
a
three
unit
dwelling.
So,
although
we
do
show,
this
is
four
stories
with
two
lower
levels
will
be
single
bedroom
units
that
will
provide
a
relatively
more
affordable
homeownership
opportunity
for
the
neighborhood.
B
The
upper
two
levels
are
a
bi-level
unit,
two-bedroom
unit,
roughly
around
1200
square
feet,
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
have
proposed
to
construct
it
this
way
is
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
a
varying
in
size
of
units
so
that
there
wouldn't
all
be
a
single
bedroom
units
and
at
least
be
able
to
provide
a
larger
unit
on
the
upper
level.
You
do
see
the
roof
deck
that
is
included
that
would
be
a
privately
accessed
roof
deck.
Through
the
community
process.
B
So
this
is
just
the
bpda
abstract,
showing
the
relative
size
of
lots.
As
you
can
see,
this
lot
is
very
consistent
with
the
size
of
lots
surrounding
it
and
width
and
generally
with
it,
with
the
depth.
As
you
can
see,
most
of
the
structures
in
the
immediate
vicinity
do
occupy
a
good
portion
of
the
lot.
I
do
understand
the
bpda's
recommendation
of
respect
to
this
proposal.
However,
we
work
very
closely
with
director
Butters,
some
who
I
believe
are
on
the
call
today
and
I
know.
B
B
So
our
proposed
site
plan
shows
how
our
building
will
sit
on
the
site.
You
can
see
the
overlay
of
our
building
on
the
existing
building.
The
existing
building
that
sits
on
the
site
actually
does
not
have
any
rear
yard
setback.
This
project
would
actually
improve
that
condition.
We
would
be
setting
our
building
back
a
little
over
five
feet
from
the
rear
property
line.
The
current
setback
is
at
about
zero.
Currently
for
the
building.
That's
there.
B
We
would
maintain
the
setback
on
the
left
side
of
the
building
at
3.1
and
maintain
about
a
little
over
a
footstep
back
on
the
right,
which
is
consistent
with
the
existing
structure.
Now
our
building
would
be
brought
to
the
front
of
the
lot
line,
which
would
be
consistent
with
the
mold
set
back
along
that
section
of
Paris
Street
by
way
of
relief
for
dimensional
regulations
under
article
53,
which
are
applicable
to
East
Boston.
B
This
is
considered
a
shallow
lot,
although
the
zoning
code
does
require
a
30-foot
setback
for
most
projects,
that
amount
of
setback
is
actually
reduced
for
shallow
City
lot,
that
is
under
100
feet
in
depth,
is
permitted
to
reduce
that
setback
down
to
at
least
to
no
less
than
10
feet.
However,
based.
B
The
lot
we
are
proposing
a
setback
of
5.2
feet
and
requesting
a
variance
again,
this
would
be
an
improved
condition
from
what
currently
exists.
With
respect
to
the
side
yard
set
back,
the
left
side
is
compliant
as
it
does
exceed
2.5
feet,
which
is
the
minimum
requirement.
However,
we
would
be
requesting
the
variance
on
the
right
side,
but
once
again,
that
is
consistent
with
the
current
setback
of
the
structure,
so
it
would
be
creating
no
additional
non-conformity
with
respect
to
the
right
side
step
back
next
slide.
B
Please
just
a
view
of
the
existing
condition
with
a
garage
currently
sits
in
the
lot,
as
I
said,
very
close
to
the
rear
property
line,
and
you
can
see
the
existing
curb
pipe
that
does
allow
access
to
the
site.
There
is
no
parking
on
the
site
now,
so
this
driveway
actually
is
taking
up
public
parking
spaces
at
the
location.
Next
slide,
please
I
can
jump
to
the
next
slide.
B
Just
our
architectural
site
plan
next
slide,
please
showing
our
floor
layouts.
So,
starting
from
the
left
side,
we
do
have
units
one
and
two
generally
about
the
same

with
the
bedroom
single
bedroom
located
to
the
rear
living
area,

and
kitchen,
we
do
have
the
internal
stairwell.
That
brings
us
up
to
unit

B

is
accessed
it
enters
from
the
third

with
an
internal
stairwell,
allowing
access
to
a
little
additional
living
area
or
fourth
level,
with
that
internal
stairwell
for
for
the
roof
deck
as
I
indicated,
this
is
a
proposed
three
family
dwelling.
This
is
a
3F
2000
District
Madam
chair,
which
is
an
allowed
use.
There
is
no
variance
that
is
necessary
for
this
proposed
use.
Next
slide,
please
just
our
section
plan
next
slide
and
our
elevation
plan,
so
our
building
does
sit
at
42
feet
to
the
to
the
top
of
the
roof.
B
The
zoning
code
does
not
count
the
roof
deck
itself
for
purposes
of
pipe
and
measuring
height.
We
do
not
oppose
any
head
house
with
respect
to
this
proposed
roof
deck.
This
is
slightly
above
the
height
limit
that
is
currently
allowed
in
the
East
Boston
Neighborhood
district
for
this
neighborhood,
which
is
35
feet.
However,
there
are
ongoing
conversations
with
respect
to
plantings,
Boston
as
to
increases
in
height
and
throat
most
of
the
neighborhood
next
slide.
Please
just
a
different
view
of
our
front
and
left
side.
Elevation
next
slide.
B
Please,
and
we
do
have
our
information
I,
don't
know
how
the
chair
wants
to
deal
with
it.
This
is
also
subject
to
Jihad.
Typically
as
I'm
sure
the
chair
is
aware-
or
it
usually
addresses
the
cheap
g-con
batteries
first
and
then
we'll
address
the
issues
regarding
the
zombie
presentation,
I'm.
A
Thank
you,
so
Mr
Lindsey
I
think
we're
going
to
address
the
application
together,
the
gcat
and
the
and
the
application.
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
other
questions?
Is
this
a
rentals
or
condos.
B
At
this
time,
the
community
has
asked
us,
through
the
community
process,
Madam
chair,
if
we
would
consider
homeownership
opportunity,
as
I
indicated,
because
we
are
proposing
several
one
bedrooms.
This
does
provide.
These
are
not
IDP
type
units,
but
they
do
provide
a
relatively
more
affordable
type
of
unit
for
new
construction
in
the
neighborhood.
A
lot
of
the
units
that
are
being
Built
for
Two
Plus
bedrooms,
the
one
bedroom
unit
inventory,
is
relatively
low
with
respect
to
ownership.
So
we
do
intend
to
have
these
as
Condominiums
with
the
management
company.
J
To
give
some
feedback
within
the
context
along
that
street
on
Paris,
you
usually
have
two
stories
to
three
stories:
maximum.
You
don't
really
see
four
stories
and
at
the
rear
of
the
property,
you're
start
starting
to
get
some
triple
Deckers,
but
you
don't
really
see
four-story
structures
along
the
context
and
most
of
the
buildings
are
aligned
to
the
public
sidewalk.
So
you
don't
really
see
any
kind
of
fun
setbacks.
Just
giving
context
to
the
board.
Members
and
I
would
love
to
hear
from
Jeff
Hampton
from
the
bpda
because
they
did
provide
some
feedback.
Z
Am
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Yes,
we
recommend
it
to
now
without
prejudice.
As
Ms
better
Baraza
had
mentioned,
we
thought
that
the
building
was
too
tall
and
we
actually
were
looking
for
a
little
bit
of
a
setback
and
I
heard
from
counselor
today
that
it
was
a
five-foot
setback.
I
believe
a
modal
which
I
I
think
would
satisfy
Our
concern,
but
our
concern
is
still
the
four-story
building
in
that
Syria.
D
I
mean
I'm
chair.
This
is
David.
Aiken
I
have
a
question
for
attorney
Lynn's
good
morning,
Mr
Linds,
there's
a
comment
in
the
Maverick
Square
well,
first
to
to
members
of
the
board,
there's
about
eight
or
so
unique
letters
of
support,
some
generic
about
10
generic
letters
of
support
and
one
letter
in
opposition
just
for
context.
The
letter
from
the
Maverick
Square
neighborhood
association
indicates
support,
but
also
asks
about
having
parking
agreement
with
the
church
across
the
street.
Can
you
speak
to
to
that
at
all
yeah.
B
So
because
this
site
is
currently
owned
by
the
Archdiocese
of
Boston,
we
have
put
an
agreement
together
that
should
we
receive
approvals,
we
would
have
access
to
their
parking
lot,
which
I
think
accommodates
about
I.
Think
it's
about
50
to
60
vehicles
to
allow
for
off-street
parking
for
off
to
three
vehicles
that
would
be
associated
with
our
condominium
documents
and
we
would
coordinate
that
upon
completion
of
construction.
B
A
You
are
there
any
other
questions
from
the
board,
if
not,
let's,
let's
take
public
testimony,
may
I
hear
from
those
closest
to
the
project
in
support
of
the
project.
Public
officials,
elected
officials,
if
they
are
present
I,
see
a
Sebastian.
AA
E
AB
AB
Central
neighborhood
association,
as
a
secretary
mentioned,
there
were
some
concerns
regarding
parking
which
the
applicant
pledged
to
form
an
agreement
with
the
local
Catholic
Church
in
the
area
to
provide
off-site
parking
for
at
least
two
years.
Besides
that
our
office
is
unaware
of
any
other
concerns
with
that
we
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
are
there,
are
there?
Is
there
anyone
else
to
speak
in
support
of
the
project.
AD
B
AE
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Ed
Devoe
I,
am
in
a
butter
at
61,
Brook
Street
in
East
Boston
and
a
former
member
of
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals.
It's
a
welcome
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best
luck.
I
am
calling
in
support
of
this
project,
as
attorney
Linds
mentioned,
as
this
property
currently
sits.
It's
a
two-car
garage
that
serves
very
little
public
benefit
by
approving
this
project
and
allows
for
much
needed
housing
in
that
area,
and
it
is
in
very
close
proximity
to
the
airport,
MBTA
station
and
I.
AE
AC
A
Thank
you
with
that
information.
So
we
have
two
things
to
vote
on.
Tom
should
I
be
voting
on
them
separately.
J
Okay,
I'll,
put
I'll
put
a
I'll
put
a
motion
forward.
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
of
denial
without
prejudice,
given
that,
for
the
reasons
that
I
stated
in
regards
to
for
story
not
being
in
the
context.
P
A
Okay,
do
I
have
okay,
a
roll
called
Miss
bedraza,
yes,
Mr.
H
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Langham,
yes,
Mr
Aiken,
no
MS,
myself,
chair
also
votes,
no
I,
I,
don't
know
if
the
motion
carries
out.
Where
does
the
motion
carry
Tom.
D
Okay
the
next

is

So
let
I'm
going
to

myself
and
turn
it
over
to
Miss
bed
Barraza
to
chair
this
one.
T
You,
madam
chair,
sorry
about
that
I
Mr,
peraz
I
have,
of
course
right
when
we
get
called
I,
have
Mike
issues
I
apologize
for
that.
Thank
you
acting
Madam
chair.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
as
well.
Welcome
new
board
attorney,
Nick,
sizula,
McDermott,
quilty
and
Miller.
Sorry
about
that
technical
difficulty
with
me
today
is
Adam
sarbo
who's,
the
property
owner
and
developer,
as
well
as
architect,
Tim
Johnson,
Madam
Ambassador.
We
do
have
a
presentation,
but
I'm
not
going
to
go
Slide
by
slide.
T
It
is
a
long
day
if
you'd
like
to
scroll
through
specifically.
The
first
slide
is
probably
a
helpful
slide
right
now
and
then
miss
better
Barraza.
Now
the
next
slide
I
apologize,
the
next
Slide
the
second
side.
Yes,
thank
you
and
Miss,
better
Bros.
Of
course
we
can
go
back
to
any
slides
and,
if
you'd
like
us
to
highlight
anything,
we
can
do
that.
Yeah.
J
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
just
contextualize
a
proposal
and
make
ours
to
what
unique
conditions
are
there,
while
you're
seeking
the
variance
in
regards
to
hardship
really
just
are
there
any
affordable
units
in
The.
T
Proposal,
yes,
yes
ma'am,
so
you
can
see
here.
The
site
is
located.
It's
indoor
Chester,
it's
right
near
South,
Bay!
It's
on
the
corner
of
All
State
Road
in
Willow
Court,
it's
directly
across
from
the
South
Bay
shopping
center
and
it's
adjacent
to
Mass
Ave.
The
site
is
about
5170
square
feet.
It's
located
in
the
community
commercial
sub,
District
of
the
Dorchester
neighbor
District.
Currently
the
site
is
vastly
underutilized.
It's
an
abandoned
vacant,
dilapidated.
Whatever
adjective
you
would
like
to
use
unsightly.
T
It's
a
two-family
structure
and
a
junkyard
kind
of
vehicular
parking
area
on
a
very
visible
corner
on
the
way
into
the
South
Bay
Shopping
Center.
It's
adjacent
and
nearby
to
several
newly
constructed
and
approved
four
and
five-story
residential
buildings.
And
what
we're
proposing
as
a
threat
into
the
record
is
a
new
five-story
mixed-use
building
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Madam
ambassador,
you
can
see.
The
proposal
here
what's
being
proposed
is
a
new
five-story
building.
T
It's
approximately
sixteen
thousand
square
feet
of
gross
floor
area,
so
it
is,
does
not
cross
the
threshold
of
article
80
small
project
review.
We
are
proposing
Accra
and
vehicular
parking
for
10
spaces,
and
those
spaces
would
be
using
a
long
existing
curve
cut
along
all
state
road
for
Access.
So
all
access
deliveries,
the
front
door
Etc,
would
be
from
All
State
Road.
There
is
an
existing
curb
cut
as
well
on
Willow
Court,
but
that
will
be
closed
up
and
will
not
be
utilized
for
the
project.
T
There
is
ground
floor,
commercial
office,
space,
I'm,
sorry,
a
second
floor
office
space
and
then
the
upper
three
units
upper
three
floors
are
all
three
units:
each
nine
residential
units,
three
on
each
floor,
they're
all
two
bedroom,
two
bath
units
between
1100
square
feet
and
thirteen
hundred
square
feet,
so
they're
amply
sized
two
bedroom
units.
The
commercial
space
is
about
3
700
square
feet.
You
can
see
here
as
well.
This
is
a
great
side
because
you
can
see
the
Open
Spaces.
T
Finally,
you
know
we
did
engage
in
and
I'll
I'll
I
will
answer
the
questions
about
them.
Chair
I
just
wanted
to
put
this
in
as
well.
We
did
engage
in
a
pretty
robust
community
outreach
process.
We
did
meet
with
the
butters
on
September
22nd.
We
had
our
official
mayor's
office
of
butter
meeting
on
October
24th.
We
met
with
the
McCormick
Civic
folks
in
November,
and
that
resulted
in
them
providing
a
letter
of
support
to
the
board
a
few
days
ago,
and
we've
also
received
letters
of
support
from
many
of
others
and
nearby
neighbors.
J
I'm
sorry
to
interrupt
secretary
Aiken.
Do
we
have
those
letters
of
support
on
record.
D
Yes,
we
do,
we
have
a
vote
from
the
John
McCormick
civic
association
and
we
also
have
a
package
of
of
generic
letters
of
support.
Thank
you.
T
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
apologize
for
jumping
ahead
on
that.
So
you
know
as
far
as
the
hardship's
concerned.
This
is
you
know
we
are
asking
for
some
variances.
The
use
is
conditional
on
the
upper
floors,
but
there
is
a
host
of
residential
units
in
residential
development
in
and
around
this
area
kind
of
this
pocket
of
newly
transformed
residential
area
right
off
the
South
Bay.
We
do
need
floor
area
ratio
and
Building
height.
T
We
need
those
because
we
are
proposing
to
have
ground
floor
parking,
we're
unable
because
of
grade
and
because
of
the
size
of
the
lot
in
order
to
have
the
low
grade
parking
in
order
to
have
the
proper
slope
down
in
the
parking
area.
We
don't
have
that
that
running
with
legs
to
get
down
there,
so
we
need
to
provide
parking
and
we're
looking
to
provide
parking
on
the
ground
floor
and
that's
part
of
the
reason
why
we
need
release
for
most
of
what
we're
asking
for
so
there's
a
little
bit
of.
J
A
heart
and
correct
me
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
because
I'm
also
reviewing
the
drawings
for
for
my
colleagues
here.
The
far
required
is
tube
you're,
proposing
3.1
and
the
height
restriction
in
the
district
is
45
feet,
but
you're,
proposing
53
and
for
the
members
to
know
this
is
a
condition
of
use
and
multi-family
and
the
commercial
office
isn't
allowed
use.
T
Yes,
yes,
ma'am
I
can,
if
you'd
like
me,
to
confirm
I
agree
so
that
you
know
again,
the
SAR
is
successive,
but
it
is
in
line
with
many
of
the
buildings
in
the
immediate
area.
The
proposed
height
is
about
eight
feet
over
the
building
height
allowable.
However,
you
know
we
would
suggest
that's
contextually
appropriate
with
most
of
the
new
newly
built
buildings
in
this
area,
as
well
as
the
approved
buildings
that
are
actually
some
of
them
are
six
stories
behind
us
and
you'll
see
actually
on
slide,
I.
Think
it's
21
or
22
Madam
Ambassador.
T
We
do
have
some
height,
contextual
just
to
show.
Oh,
that's
a
sign
if
you
go
back
up
so
this
is
our
nearest
across
Willow,
it's
85
Willow.
We
are
a
COC
above
them,
but
we
we
are
in
line
with
their
height,
we're
not
a
full
story.
Above
them
and
again
you
know
we
would
suggest
that
part
of
that
reason
is
in
order
to
provide
garage
parking
at
grade
because
of
the
kind
of
size
of
the
lot
and
how
it's
situated.
T
And
then,
if
you
go
Madame
Ambassador,
if
you
scroll
down
slowly
through
the
next
few
slides,
we've
also
done
a
a
you
know,
a
basic
Shadow
study
just
to
show
that
the
Shadows
from
this
building
actually
should
not
and
will
not
fall
over
Willow.
It
should
fall
over
Allstate,
which
is
the
line
of
the
lowest
road
that
runs
to
and
from
and
into
South
Bay.
T
And
if
you
go
down
further
Madame
Ambassador
you'll
see
that
we've
progressed
these
slides
as
you
would
go
through,
and
you
can
see
the
arrow
from,
on
the
right
hand,
side
behind
our
building,
which
shows
I,
believe
the
Sun
and
where
the
Shadows
would
be
casting.
If
you
go
down
a
few
more
Ambassador,
it's
just
a
series
of
them
to
show
them
the
shadow
studies
and
as
far
as
I
think
you
asked
Miss
better
Barraza
as
to
affordability.
This
is
a
yeah,
so
this
is
a
nine
unit.
T
Building
the
under
the
you
know
this
this
was
filed,
I
believe
back
in
2020,
so
it
was
it.
It
predates
any
proposed
or-
or
you
know,
Carly
discussed
changes
to
the
affordable
housing
program.
That
are,
you
know.
Currently,
being
rolled
out
by
by
the
mayor
and
I,
also
would
just
note
that
this
same
developer
has
has
gotten
an
approved
project
further
into
the
kind
of
quote-unquote
neighborhood,
as
you
move
into,
and
off
of
all
state
for
99
unit,
Home
Ownership
project
that
will
have
26
IDP
units
in
that
project.
T
So
this
is
a
rental
building,
but
I
just
I
think
for
the
full
sure
this
developer
has
committed
to
the
neighborhood
with
99
home
ownership,
units
of
which
25
percent
of
them
will
be
affordable
and
that's
literally,
a
stone's
throw
up,
Willow
Court,
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
the
full
context.
Thank
you.
J
Z
Thank
you
this
bit
of
Barraza,
you
don't
have
a
formal
one
on
paper,
but
I
do
want
to
go
on
record
as
supporting
this
project
approval
with
design
review.
It
was
some
questioning
at
the
time
when
our
board
was
meeting
whether
or
not
this
was
meeting
the
threshold
for
article
80
and
it
wasn't
determined
until
after
our
board
had
met.
Z
AB
J
We're
going
to
hear
from
them
directly
and
we
can
hear
from
the
mayor
Liaisons
neighborhood
as
well.
AH
H
T
A
great
question:
Mr
Mr,
we
well
I,
think
the
plan,
as
of
now
is
to
have
one
there's
ten
spaces
and
I
think
the
plan
is
to
have
one
of
each
unit
would
be
able
to
have
a
space
so
one
per
unit,
and
then
the
extra
space
would
go
towards
somebody
in
the
office.
This
is
you
know
a
fairly.
You
know,
I
think
the
sport
gets
thrown
around
quite
a
bit,
as
you
know,
as
much
better
browser
will
remember
from
previous.
You
know
hearings.
T
You
know
we
do
need
parking
relief,
but
you
know
this
is
walkable
to
South
Bay,
all
the
amenities
in
South
Bay,
it's
it's.
The
8
and
16
buses
I
believe
are
on
Mass
Ave,
New,
Market
commuter
rails,
literally,
a
third
of
a
mile
away
and
Andrew
station
is,
you
know
a
decent
walk,
but
it's
walkable
at
three
quarters
of
a
mile,
so
we
fit
as
much
parking
as
we
could
and
the
idea,
I
think
well,
is
to
have
one
space
per
residential
unit
and
allocate
one
of
the
spaces
to
the
commercial
space.
T
The
commercial
space
if
I
didn't
mention,
is
about
3
700
square
feet.
So
there
would
be
a
few
there
would
be
some
employees
who
would
obviously
be
working
there,
but
the
developer
would
work
with
them
to
you
know
to
work
on.
You
know
kind
of
Tod
measures
to
make
sure,
and
obviously
they
will
understand
that
they
will
not
have
you
know
more
than
one
parking
space
for
the
office.
H
Okay,
thank
you.
I
have
another
question:
I
did
see
on
the
plans.
The
trash
is
right
next
to
the
bike.
So
I
would
you
know,
suggest
this
isn't
something
I
would
you
know,
oppose
this
project
for
but
I
think
if
you
want
to
make
it
desirable
for
people
to
bike,
maybe
give
them
a
better
place
for
their
bikes
I'm,
not
sure,
if
that
next
to
the
trash
is
appropriate,
but
I
know
that's
an
internal
thing
and
that
can
be
addressed
later
on,
probably,
if
approved.
T
E
E
You
know
with
some
bricks
and
we
had
discussed
through
the
community
process
with
our
neighbors
in
both
the
onf
meeting
and
Community
meetings,
that
during
bpda
design
review
that
we
might
move
that
trash
down
below
and
like
they
might
formalize,
and
we
might
get
a
better
use
of
that
bike
that
bike
space,
so
it
was
discussed
and
talked
about
and
I
do
agree
with
you
on
that.
H
Thank
you.
That's
all
my
questions,
Madam
chair,
thank.
D
Yeah
Madam
chair,
David
Eakin,
just
building
upon
the
last
comment
them
as
we
we
well
stated.
I
I
would
I
think
that
addressing
a
better
bicycle
storage
there
and
relocating
the
the
trash
is
important
to
close
access
to
the
red
line
to
the
commuter
rail
and
other
areas
and
didn't
look
to
me
like.
There
was
sort
of
space
there
for
for
bicycle
storage,
especially
with
all
two
bedroom
units.
So.
G
So
this
project
is
not
providing
any
for
the
old
house,
affordable
housing,
and
you
mentioned
that
the
developers
Building
Product
housing
somewhere
else
in
the
neighborhood
every
project
is
unique
and
I.
Don't
think
that
that
means
that
all
projects
can
supply
Community
benefits
that
this
project
could
be
supplying.
So
my
question
is
about
the
commercial
space.
Is
this
commercial
space
providing
any
linkage
conclusion.
T
No
Mr
Valencia
again
this
is
this-
is
below
it's
16
000
square
feet.
It's
below
article
80
large
project
review,
which
is
50
000
square
feet,
it's
below
article,
any
small
project
review,
which
is
20
000
square
feet
of
gross
floor
area,
so
there
would
be
no
linkage
fees
as
a
result
where
we're
well
below
those
thresholds
from
the
affordability
perspective.
I
understand
your
point
again,
you
know,
under
current
iterations
of
the
IDP,
were
not
required
to
with
any
affordability.
It
was
just.
T
My
point
was
just
to
contextualize
the
developer
as
a
whole,
but
I
understand
your
your
point
specifically
for
this
project,
but
I
guess
my
answer
would
be
we're
just
not
required
to
do
so
at
this
time,
but
we
hope
that
we've,
you
know,
had
those
discussions
with
the
community
directly
in
this
neighborhood
in
Mccormick
and
the
folks
in
Dorchester
that
we've
provided
the
affordability
in
the
neighborhood
elsewhere
and
that's
why
we're
not
proposing
any
with
this
project
but
I
understand.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

Members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
at
the
sound
of
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
As
you've
heard
our
office
held
in
the
butters
meeting
on
October
24th.
There
were
some
concerns
raised
in
that
meeting
regarding
proposed
height,
as
well
as
concerns
related
to
trash
being
maintained
in
the
property
and
parking
as
well
as
movability
on
the
street.
It
sounds
like
the
applicant
has
continued
to
work
with
some
of
those
Butters.
AB
AJ
K
AL
Hi,
my
name
is
Ben
Murphy,
with
the
new
market
business
improvement
district
located
at
100,
Magazine
Street,
we
represent
over
700
Property
Owners
businesses
and
residents
in
the
area
around
the
proposed
project.
I'd
like
to
go
on
go
on
the
record
in
support
of
the
project.
The
developer
is
an
excellent
and
communicative
neighbor
has
done
everything.
We've
asked
him
to
in
terms
of
meeting
with
the
community
being
responsible
to
feedback,
and
we
think
that
this
project
will
be
a
benefit
for
the
neighborhood.
AM
Travis
Stewart
from
McCormick
civic
association,
we
are
fully
in
support
of
the
project
and
I
will
say
the
same
thing
that
the
previous
person
said
like
the
Adam
and
his
group
has
always
been
very
supportive
of
changing
things
and
listening
to
us
out.
So
we
are
definitely
in
support
of
the
project.
AN
Yes,
my
name
is
Steve
Mitchell
and
I'm,
with
eight
Baker
Court
we're
just
one
building
away
from
100
Allstate.
Our
condo
association
has
had
strong
positive
communication
with
the
developer,
he's
been
open
to
any
suggestions.
It's
been
a
real
collaborative
process.
We're
excited
to
see
some
changes
to
the
neighborhood.
We've
been
living
in
this
neighborhood
since
2016
and
been
waiting
for
some
of
these
changes
to
happen
to
the
the
buildings
nearby.
We
have
no
issue
with
the
height.
We
think
the
parking
is
adequate.
Looking
forward
to
the
project
moving
forward.
J
Great,
can
we
hear
from
the
community
or
director
Butters
if
they
are
present?
What
was
everyone
that
was
everyone?
Okay,
great,
so
can
I.
Please
entertain
a
motion.
J
Can
I
hear
approval
with
any
Proviso
like
bpda
design,
review.
J
Okay,
I'm
gonna
do
a
roll
call,
can
I
hear
from
Ibrahim
Shepherd?
Yes,
Giovanni
Valencia,
yes,
Katie.
We
will
yes,
Alan
Langham,
yes,
David
Aiken.
J
Okay,
so
what
we'll
do
and
for
myself
I'm
going
to
be
in
opposition,
so
the
motion
does
carry
and
we
will
have
it
with
bpda
design,
review,
paying
special
attention
to
bike
storage
and
trash,
and
also
to
the
that's
it.
Thank
you.
T
W
We're
checking
I
just
quickly
note
if
you're
into
attendee
section
right
now
and
you're,
presenting
a
case
or
if
you're
part
of
an
elected,
a
Patrol's
office
and
again
you're
in
the
attorney
section.
Please
make
sure
people
are
in
the
right
place
as
they
move
forward
with
the
cases.
Thank
you.
D
Okay,
the
next
case
is
BOA
1376022
address
is
210
West,
Springfield
Street.
This
is
the
addition
of
a
rear
deck
on
second
floor
and
the
addition
of
a
roof
deck
private
to
the
top
floor
unit.
Here
access
only
for
unit
2..
D
This
is
violations
article
32,
section
4
of
gcat
applicability,
any
extension
of
any
structure
which
will
occupy
more
than
50
square
feet
of
lot
area
in
a
G-Code
article,

townhouse,
Roadhouse

in
the

and
article

then

AO
Good
morning,
members
of
the
board
Greg
McCarthy
for
210
West
Springfield
Street
thank.
A
You,
if
you
could
focus
on
the
most
relevant,
slides
and
just
the
new
violations
and
just
put
us
in
context.
That
would
be
great.
Thank
you.
AO
Sure
so
the
first
one
is
groundwater
conservation,
which
we
have
gotten
the
no
harm
letter
letter
from
the
uwsc
for
the
violations
on
the
building.
The
first
one
is
extension
into
the
rear
yard,
that
is,
for
the
proposed
rear
deck.
So
if
we
go
down
a
couple
more
slides
here,
I
can
stop
you
when
we
get
there
right.
Here
is
the
initial
one.
Sony
extension,
two,
the
rear
of
your
garden
in
this
district
is
a
violation.
AO
So
what
we're
proposing
is
within
the
setbacks,
but
any
any
extension
could
be
in
violation,
so
we're
proposing
seven
seven
foot
deep
decks,
so
they're
gonna
come
about
seven
feet
off
the
building
and
there's
still
about
27
and
a
half
feet
from
the
rear
lot
line,
so
that
would
be
first
and
second
for
that
effects.
AO
The
second
violation
is
the
roof
structure
restriction.
If
you
want
to
go
up,
I
think
one
more
page
shouldn't
get
us
there.
The
top
unit
is
a
two
unit.
Building
the
the
top
floor
is
is
a
three
level
unit
that
would
have
a
private
we're
proposing
to
put
a
private
roof
deck
up
there.
For
that
unit
of
the
12
sorry
20
row,
houses
on
the
street
I
think
12
of
them
have
roof
tanks.
It's
pretty
common
on
this
side
of
the
street.
AO
We
were
unable
to
do
a
conforming
roof
deck,
because
the
building's
49
feet
high,
so
we're
unable
to
do
a
a
bubble
hatch
because
it
was
not
to
building
code,
so
we're
proposing
to
add
a
stair
house,
a
staircase
head
house
to
for
access
to
the
stuck
and
if
you
scroll
down
a
little
bit
more
and
kind
of
show
the
elevations
on
the
rear
here.
AO
So
the
building
is
only
around
40
feet
on
the
front,
but
because
of
the
grade
and
the
rare,
it
ends
up
being
49
at
the
top
and
then
the
head
house
is
going
to
be
above
60
feet
from
the
elevations.
You
can.
You
know
the
area
that
gives
it
the
full
scope
of
the
building
and
the
image,
but
you
won't
be
able
to
see
any
of
this
from
West
Springs.
What
West
Springfield
Street,
you
can't
see
any
of
the
roof
decks
from
the
street
I
think
that's
the
overall
picture
of
it.
Thank.
A
J
I,
don't
necessarily
have
any
plan
any
questions,
it's
pretty
adequate.
You
know
my
own
kind
of
hesitation
is
the
head
house.
Typically,
in
a
district
like
this,
we
prefer
to
see
roof
hatches
versus
Penthouse.
That
would
be
my
only
comment
and
then
in
terms
of
also
the
ways
in
which
the
rear
deck
is
supported.
Typically
they're
recommended
to
be
self-supportive.
Forum
brackets
and
I
can
I
would
love
to
hear
Jeff
Hampton's
opinion
from
the
bpda
as
well.
Z
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
Mr
Adam
Barraza.
Yes,
typically,
we
would
also
agree
with
you
that,
instead
of
a
head
house,
we
would
recommend
a
hatch
entrance
for
the
roof
deck
and,
as
far
as
the
bracket
supported,
rear
decks
in
the
South
End.
We
typically
approve
six
foot,
not
seven
foot
decks.
So
our
concern,
it's
not
even
a
concern.
Our
vote
rather
is
approval
with
provisos
that
the
entrance
to
a
roof
deck
be
by
hatch
and
that
the
rear
deck
speed
bracket
supported
in
no
bigger
than
six
feet.
AO
You
can
I
respond
to
that,
just
real
quickly,
the
the
six
feet
on
the
decade.
Absolutely
somebody.
Z
Can
I
respond
to
that
Mr?
Yes,
so
for
the
members
that
are
new,
I
understand
that
and
you
have
the
ability
to
apply
for
building
code
reliefs,
Miss
benefaraza,
please
correct
me
if
I'm
out
of
line
here,
but
this
board
has
looked
favorably
upon
building
code
relief
for
a
hatch
rather
than
a
proof.
A
head
house.
I
This
is
Tom
on
the
building
code
issue.
The
board
does
require
a
provides
over
hatch
access.
It
would
have
to
come
back
to
reward
for
a
building
code
vote
when
they
would
get.
They
would
get
issued
a
violation
from
ISD
for
violating
the
building
government,
but
yeah.
They
are
corrected
on
buildings
in
their
own
report
stories
with
books
that
does
require
Penthouse
access
to
their
rather
than
a
patch
access
at
all.
H
Chair
I
have
a
point
of
information:
I
just
have
a
question
for
Mr
broom.
If
it's
appropriate.
Yes,
yes,
please,
when
is
the
appropriate
time
to
sort
of
give
the
justification
you
need
for
a
denial
decision
or
an
approval
decision
is
that
during
the
roll
call
or
before
the
public
comment.
Y
I
You
wanted
to
offer
your
reasons
and
support
or
an
opposition
to
emotion
when
you're,
when
you're
making
your
vote
I
think
that'll
make
it
clear
to
everyone
what
you're
doing
and
that
would
let
you
hear
all
the
information
beforehand.
Yeah.
I
AB
Services
so
I'm
sure
there's
an
echo
there,
our
office
held
in
the
butters
meeting
in
September.
There
were
no
concerns
raised
from
a
Butters.
The
applicant
went
on
to
meet
with
the
local
civic
association,
which
is
the
Claremont
neighborhood
association
I'll,
run
away
of
any
concerns
being
raised
by
the
Mi
there
at
this
time
and
refer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
seminelli.
V
A
Okay:
okay,
hearing
none
hearing,
none
I
would
entertain
a
motion.
A
D
A
Mr
Broome:
do
we
normally
proceed
or
is
it
okay
to
go
back?
Oh.
A
U
D
Okay,
this
is
second.
D
This
is
construct
a
four-story
addition
to
the
rear
of
the
property,
with
new
rear
scares
for
egress,
eliminating
the
connecting
balconies
allowing
817
to
819
East
Broadway
to
share
a
new
stair
to
grade
the
violations,
are
68
section,
29,
roof
structure,
restrictions
and
article
68,
Section
8,
dimensional
regulations,
insufficient
side
yard
setback,
Mr,
Hearn
or
someone
else.
Please
announce
yourself
for
the
record.
This
is
Michael
Hearn.
A
Thank
you.
If
you
could
please
focus
on
the
slides
that
would
be
most
relevant
to
us,
as
well
as
any
of
the
violations
new
violations
from
this.
C
Yes,
I
can
so
that's
the
plot
plan
that
you
have
on
the
spring
right
now
and
that
shows
the
proposed
Edition
in
the
green
outline,
the
larger
box
in
the
rear
of
the
building
and
shows
the
this
exist
in
bulk,
and
it
shows
reworking
that
bulkhead
to
make
it
come
out
to
the
full
extent
of
the
addition
below
the
deck
for
egress.
C
C
So
right
here
we're
looking
at
the
addition
on
a1o
we're
looking
at
the
ignition
on
the
rear
of
the
property.
It's
a
purple
box
with
the
black
outline,
the
red
deck,
the
sidebot
setback
violation
is
the
side
depth
where
the
stairs
are.
That
right
now
is
a
connected
balcony
serving
I,
believe
nine
units
total
and
what
we're
proposing
is
put
a
standard
grade
so
that
the
stairs
are
going
to
grade,
giving
a
more
effective
passage
in
the
event
of
any
kind
of
emergency.
C
C
There
is
no,
they
are
evaluation,
there
is
no
other
violation.
Those
are
the
only
two
that
that
we
are
here
to
discuss.
Thank.
J
C
Yes,
so
if
you
go
back
to
the
plot
plan,
we're
about
I,
don't
have
that
number
in
front
of
me
and
I.
Don't
know
how
much
you
could
blow
that
up,
but
I
believe
we're
about
60
feet
from
the
rear,
60.
A
Hearing
none
I
will
take
public
testimony.

A
M
Sheila
Fitzgerald
I
live
at
782
East
4th
Street.
This
is
almost
directly
behind
the
property.
There's
been
ongoing
issues
with
this
passageway
for
the
past
two
and
a
half
years.
The
passageway
is
not
up
to
current
fire
code.
Your
tax
office
is
confirmed
that
it
is
neither
described
as
a
private
or
public
laneway.
However,
the
zoning
has
confirmed
that
the
plot
lines
do
go
to
the
back
of
782.
Excuse
me
to
the
back
of
the
laneway,
which
goes
on
to
4th
Street.
M
M
The
additions
at
both
beats
17
and
819
do
not
permit
emergency
vehicles
turn
around
properly
the
additions
of
the
deck
and
also
the
extension
of
the
homes
do
not
allow
for
25
feet
of
emergency
vehicles
to
turn
at
this
point
in
time
and
I'm
asking
for
a
denial
until
further
reviewed
by
the
Boston
Fire
Department
addition,
the
laneway
itself
is
under
a
deterioration
and
not
support
ongoing
Public
Service
Vehicles,
including
emergency
vehicles,
as
well
as
standards
weekly
garbage
Vehicles.
All.
AE
AQ
AQ
I
am
in
a
butter,
I
live
at
819,
East
Broadway,
so
I
would
just
like
to
I'm
in
opposition
to
the
staircase
idea
that
he
has
those
plans.
We
actually
brought
this
up
at
the
letters
meeting
and
I
I
was
under
the
impression
that
he
was
in
agreement
that
he
wouldn't
be
building
stairs
because
of
the
cost
of
them.
AQ
He
indicated
that
the
city
is
going
to
make
him
put
in
sprinkles
or
something,
and
therefore
he
wasn't
even
going
to
do
his
tears,
so
he
he
would
probably
just
stick
with
the
Juliet
balconies.
So
myself,
as
well
as
other
unit
owners
in
the
building
I,
have
security
concerns
about
having
these
are
all
rentals
by
the
way
and
having
people
coming
in
and
out
in
access
to
the
street,
in
you
know,
to
our
units
is
a
big
change
for
us
and
I'm
in
opposition
to
that
particular
part
of
the
project
and.
A
C
So
as
far
as
this
dick
case
with
their
brothers,
they
don't
have
to
participate
in
the
connected
balconies
as
they're
connected
on
their
right
inside
the
building.
I
would
like
to
fall
through
my
staircase
for
my
property,
but
they
don't
have
to
participate
in
the
connection
between
the
two
buildings,
so
that
could
be
eliminated.
They
are
not
required
to
have
to
be
aggressive.
C
I
am
required
to
have
an
egress
I,
don't
share
an
egress
with
my
opponents
on
the
left,
so
the
only
about
the
only
verse
I
have
is
to
the
immediate
right,
unless
I
go
to
great.
So
I'd
like
to
continue
with
the
stairs
to
great
and
I
will
not
connect
to
their
bathrooms.
So
there'll
be
a
separation
of
six
feet.
Madam.
A
C
C
Sorry,
more
than
adequate
the
25
feet.
That's
required
20
feet.
That's
required
in
the
Zoning
for
the
rare
property
line,
I
I'm,
not
aware
of
the
laneway
conditions,
but
I'm,
not
the
sole
propriet,
with
the
laneway.
From
what
I
understand.
It's
everyone
that
abuts
the
laneway
has
the
right
to
the
laneway,
so
I
I
can't
I
can't
comment
on
that.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
Ahern,
we'll
hear
from
Mr
Hampton.
Please.
Z
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Our
recommendation
to
this
was
just
a
simple
approval
with
design
review
on
this.
We
didn't
have
any
other
concerns
about
that,
but
if
there
was
something
where
the
board
feels
like
they're,
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
something
specific
we'd,
be
more
than
happy
to
entertain
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

AR
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Scott
Holmes
and
I'm.
An
attorney
here
on
behalf
of
Mr
Mullane,
who
is
also
with
us.
My
address
is
50
Main
Street
in
Charlestown
Mass
02129.
A
AR
Thank
you
very
much.
It's
an
honor
to
be
before
everyone
today,
I,
truly
appreciate
this
opportunity
and
welcome
everybody
who's
new
to
the
board.
So
this
is
a
really
a
project
and
a
building
that,
if
you'll
give
me
the
chance
this
was
building
was
built
in
1867,
as
history
has
provided
for
us
and
Patrick
McGuire
are
required
in
the
90s.
It
currently
is
a
four
unit.
AR
Building
the
building
is
zoned
for
four
to
six
residences,
he'd
been
using
the
basement
as
storage,
but
it's
looking
to
change
the
occupancy
on
the
bottom
on
the
ground
floor
from
Storage
to
a
one
bedroom
and
there's
many
reasons
why?
But
I
just
want
to
explain
to
the
board
what
it's
like
for
a
small
man
or
a
small
business
owner
like
Patrick.
These
are
not
the
big
projects
that
come
along
where
they
have
a
Deep
Pockets
the
money
that
would
be
gained
from
doing
this
or
getting
the
the
relief
that
we
seek.
AR
It
would
be
money
that
he
could
Infuse
back
into
the
building
with
a
building
of
1867
origination,
in
which
it's
been
on
the
books
for
a
long
time
in
the
history
of
Boston.
This
money
would
be
used
to
improve
the
common
areas
would
be
used
to
improve
the
edifice
and
to
provide
greater
security
for
the
residents.
There
are
currently
two
Section
8
tenants
in
the
building,
we're
looking
just
to
make
this
into
a
one
bedroom.
AR
The
idea
really
being
is
that
it
would
provide
housing
in
this
beautiful
area
Roxbury,
so
that
people
could
then
a
young
couple
or
a
single
person
could
then
have
a
nice
place
to
live
he's
a
very
conscientious
owner,
and
this
is
not
something
that
is
a
whim
or
a
fancy.
We've
been
going
at
this
since
2021
actually
to
try
and
make
sure
we
could
get
to
this
point
in
time.
As
I
said
earlier,
the
basement
is
currently
zoned
for
a
living
area
and
it
was
originally
attached
to
the
first
floor.
AR
So
you'd
have
the
first
floor.
You
come
up
the
stairs
and
it'd
be
a
first
floor
and
beneath
it
you
could
walk
down
to
a
second
bedroom.
This
project
would
actually
reduce
the
density,
because
currently
there
are
10
bedrooms
in
this
building.
It
would
reduce
it
to
nine
if
approved,
and
there
would
be
no
additional
living
space
that
would
be
required.
AR
It's
designed
to
be
a
one-bedroom
apartment,
and
you
know
a
Sub
sub
Crown
floor
or
a
basement
apartment
is
a
great
opportunity
financially
for
somebody
who
is
trying
to
get
a
leg
up
in
this
building,
it's
not
going
to
be
built
up
or
built
out
and,
as
I
said,
the
funds
would
be
there
to
improve
the
common
areas
and
other
components
of
the
building.
A
couple
other
points
and
I'll.
Let
Patrick
speak
real
quickly.
AR
We
did
appear
before
three
different
organizations
which
I'm
sorry,
one
of
others.
Meeting
and
two
different
organizations
on
the
August
16th
were
before
the
Roxbury
passed.
AR
Okay
sure
the
one
thing
I'm
not
sure
of
in
the
public
process,
I
just
want
to
say,
because
I
don't
know
that
a
letter
was
ever
submitted
is
that
we
appeared
before
Renee
mardones,
who
is
a
Dudley
Street
neighborhood
initiative,
who
only
sent
us
an
email
saying
that
they
approved
the
project,
because
it
is
a
small
project
and
it
didn't
need
to
go
through
its
board
of
directors.
I'd
like
to
tell
you
about
the
relief
that
we're
seeking,
obviously
and
you'll,
hear
from
or
there's
a
letter
on,
an
opposition,
the
parking
situation.
AR
This
happens
to
be
on
the
bus
line
that
is
called
the
bus
priority
Corridor.
This
is
about
a
hundred
feet
at
most
from
Warren
Street,
six
Moreland,
and
there
are
five
buses
that
operate
on
Warren
Street
that
service.
Anybody
that
lives
in
this
area-
and
we
understand
that
parking
is
an
issue.
I
live
in
Charlestown.
We
all
have
issues
with
parking,
but
the
idea
is
that
this
is
such
a
small
unit.
The
impact
on
the
neighborhood
would
be
de
minimis
and
that
it
with
the
corridor
being
such
a
prominent
path
for
people
getting
traveling.
AR
So
that's
one
of
the
release
we
need.
As
far
as
the
far
goes,
it
is
current
at
2.64
I'm,
assuming
that
is
based
upon
what
it
was
when
the
first
person
who
owned
this
building
applied
to
have
residences
there
or
made
it
into
a
four
family,
the
relief
saw
it
would
be.
3.06
we've
worked
with
the
neighborhood
to
the
extent
that
it
was,
it
was
available
to
us
and
are
seeking
this
relief
and
I'll.
Let
Patrick
just
address
everyone
for
a
minute.
Please.
AS
AS
This
basement
level
was
permitted
by
the
city
of
Boston
back
in
1988,
in
conjunction
with
the
first
four
units
to
form
a
two
sorry,
a
four
bedroom,
two
bath
duplex
first
floor
and
garden
level
over
the
past
three
years,
I've
had
a
personal
need
to
use
it
as
storage,
which
it
currently
is
used
for
and
there's
there
is
a
bathroom
still
down
there
in.
AS
Oh,
it's
a
poor
condition
right
now,
with
this
proposal,
if
approved,
would
reduce
the
overall
bedroom
counts
on
the
building
from
10
to
9
and
still
have

AS
A
Thank
you
Mr
Hampton.
May
we
hear
from
you.
Z

We
recommended
approval
with
provisos
that
there'd
be
no
building
code
relief
with
this
basement
unit
and
that
the
applicant
work
with
us
to
get
as
much
natural
light
into
that
area
as
possible.
J
I
have
and
I
have
no
further
questions.
AD
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
park
Keisha
Santana
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
point,
we
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board
and
a
Butters
meeting
was
held
on
August
18th,
where
there
were
no
race
concerns
from
the
residents.
AD
The
owner
met
with
Dudley
Street
neighborhood
initiative,
where
they
show
support
of
the
project
also
met
with
Roxbury
path
forward.
Again,
we
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
court.
Thank.
D
But
I'm
sure
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
we
have
the
the
one
letter
of
opposition
that
was
alluded
to
earlier.
Thank.
AU
G
I
mean
I
can
make
probably
so
that
plans
be
submitted
to
the
bpda
for
the
second
review
and
consideration
to
natural
light
in
the
basement.
So.
Z
Mr
Valencia,
if
I
can
step
in
because
this
is
all
internal
reservations.
We
usually
don't
do
design
review
on
internal,
but
I
would
appreciate
with
the
no
building
code
relief,
maybe
as
a
Proviso.
G
Okay,
so
I
make
a
motion
to
approach
with
producer
that
they
will
be
in
is
a
plug
with
no
building
code
relief.
F
P
A
H
A
A
D
Yeah,
so
are
there
any
anyone
for
the

at

who
want
to
defer
a
withdrawal

AV
D
D
Okay,
please
explain
the.

A
Withdrawal
all
right,
thank
you,
may
I
have
a
motion.

Yes,

motion

Okay
may
I
have
a
second.

Are

joining

today
is
the
owner.
Applicant
Mr,
David
Arrowsmith
of
The
Proposal
in
front
of
us
today
is
a
request
for
a
conditional
use
permit
to
change
the
occupancy
from
a
cafe
with
takeout
to
a
restaurant
with
takeout
and
live
entertainment
by
way
of
History.
A
restaurant
has
been
in
existence
in
this
same
location
for
over
50
years.
AV
I'm,
not
quite
sure
why
it's
been
categorized
at
one
point
in
time
as
a
cafe,
maybe
perhaps
the
old
zoning
over
50
years
ago
or
the
original
categorization
was
a
cafe,
but
here,
but
we
are
here
today
to
legalize
that
organization
of
the
existing
business
to
a
restaurant.
Something
else
that's
worth
noting.
Even
the
certificates
of
inspection
has
the
listed
occupancy
as
a
restaurant.
AV
So
again
this
location
has
been
doing
business
as
the
industry
currently
has
a
takeout
license
and
we're
simply
here
today
to
add
live
entertainment
after
10
30
pm
to
its
existing
occupancy.
The
industry
has
been
operating
since
2017
and
has
been
applying
for
one
day
live
entertainment
licenses.
Without
any
known
issues
for
the
neighborhood
for
approximately
the
last
two
years
and
approval
from
this
board
will
allow
the
applicant
to
continue
to
provide
live
entertainment
to
its
guests
without
the
hassle
to
continuously
apply
for
one-day
licenses.
AV
As
you
can
see
here
from
the
drawings,
it
is
a
very
small
if
you
scroll
up
a
little
bit
more
in
the
drawing
here
on
that
you're
on
the
correct
page.
But
if
you
just
scroll
up
yeah,
so
nope
keep
going
there.
We
go.
So
if
you,
if
you
could
kind
of
see
to
the
right
as
you're
entering
to
the
Dual
way,
there's
a
very,
very
small
stage
that
will
be
set
up
in
front
of
the
corner
of
the
restaurant.
A
A
Any
questions
all
right
can
I
hear
public
testimony.
AB
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
and
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
we've
had
a
bit
of
turnover
with

as
far
as
we're
concerned,
we're
unaware
of
any
concerns
at
this
time
for

that
we'd
refer
to

Judgment
of

This
is
in

This
is
the
teardown
of
an
existing
two-car
garage
behind
behind
our
house
and
replace
it
with
a
carat,
Farm
style,
two-car
garage,
two-bedroom
apartment
for
multi-generational
living
space.
D
The
new

will
expand
the
footprint
of
the
existing

on
a

a
half
thousand

their

address
into

AW
AW
Certainly,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
members
of
the
board.
As
you
can
see,
my
parents
and
I
are
seeking
to
replace
our
existing
1940-ish
style
garage
with
a
carriage
house
that
would
better
maintain
the
Victorian
character
of
the
neighborhood.
The
purpose
of
the
project
is
to
enable
me
to
move
home
or
remain
closer
with
my
family
and
as
an
independent
adult
working
remotely
full-time
to
have
this
space.
Historically,
there
was
a
carriage
house,
but
as
we
don't
have
the
original
designs,
we
are
presenting
our
drawings
here.
AW
If
you
can
see
in
the
next
couple
of
slides.
So
this
is
the
front
the
rear
and
then
the
North
and
South,
which
are
the
two
side
views
respectively.
AW
The
next
side,
please
is
a
copy
of
our
site
plan
where
we
have
shown
how
the
Carriage
House,
how
the
sorry
existing
garage
sits
on
the
property,
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
you
can
see
how
the
carriage
house
would
fit
in
the
plan
using
some
of
the
same
same
footprint.
We
would
like
to
raise
the
point
that
our
proposed
unit
is
roughly
66
percent
of
the
size
of
an
existing
unit.
AW
Next
door,
which
has
a
smaller
sorry,
which
has
a
smaller
property
and
and
ours,
would
have
a
smaller
footprint
and
height
than
this
unit
at
52
Alban
Street.
The
next
slide
is
several
other
structures.
Carriage
Houses
in
the
neighborhood
and
the
following
slide
are
examples
of
converted.
Carriage
Houses.
We
have
asked
our
neighbors
for
their
support.
AW
We've
received
a
petition
or
we
have
had
43
signatures
of
support
on
our
petition,
including
all
of
our
Butters
we've
completed
the
community
review
process,
including
the
approval
of
our
civic
association
on
September
22nd,
which
I
believe
has
also
submitted
a
letter
of
support,
and
then
we
also
had
our
Butters
meeting
hosted
by
our
neighborhood
liaison
George
hunt
on
October
26th.
We've
included
the
statistics
on
the
previous
slide,
and
then
this
slide
lists
the
variances
that
we
are
requesting.
AW
J
Z
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
pretty
straightforward
on
this
one,
we're
in
support
of
the
project.
We
just
asked
for
design
review.
AB
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with

office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process
that
you
heard
from
the
applicant
our
office
hosting
a
Butters
meeting
on
October
22nd.
Excuse
me
26th,
the
abutters
that
were
in
attendance
were
in
full
support
of
this
proposal.
The
applicant
went
on
to
meet
with
the
Ashmont
Hill
Association,
where
they
received
their
support
as
well
with
that
we
refer
to
the
Judgment
of

Thank
you.

Yes,
good
evening,
Madam

is
I'm.
The
director
of
Civic
engagement
for
District,
4,
City,
councilor,
Brian,
Worrell
and
I
just
wanted
to
go
on
record
to
say
that
The
Counselor
wanted
to
defer
this
to
the
board.
Do
the
fact
that
I'm,
the
Altamont
Hill
Association
through
two
different
votings
weren't
able
to
come
to
Summer's

We
just
wanted
to
defer
to
the
Islanders.
Q
A
D
Okay,
the
next
case
is
BOA
135-2046.
The
address
is
48
Industrial
Drive
in
Hyde
Park.
This
is
the
installation
of
one
eight
foot
by
approximately
three
and
a
half
foot
internally,
illuminated
freestanding
sign
for
Tesla.
The
violation
is
article
69,
section,
28
signed
regulations,
freestanding
signs
are
forbidden
and
the
bottom
of
sign
is
lower
than
eight
foot
from
grade
with
the
overall
area
of
the
sign
exceeding
exceeding
15
square

Hello,
I'm
Jason
Carrillo,
with
public
Sign,
Company,
1001,
edgell,
Road,
Framingham,
Mass
01701
good
morning.
Everyone
so
we're
here
for
a
freestanding
sign
for
Tesla.
It's
a
27.75
square,
foot,
kind
of
Monument
type
sign
the
sign
reads:
Tesla
Collision
Center.
This
is
a
largely
Industrial
Area.
This
is
across
from
the
transdev
bus
facility.
The
sign
would
be
to
basically
would
Mark
the
customer
parking
lot
entrance.
The
site
is
set
back
10
feet
from
the
over
10
feet
from
the
curb,
so
they
would
provide
and
will
not
affect
any
sight
lines.
AX
The
sign
has
a
very
subtle
form
of
Illumination.
Only
the
logo
and
the
lettering
would
light
up
assignment
will
provide
a
public
good
by
directing
people
to
the
parking
lot
entrance.
We
met
with
the
neighborhood
association
twice
and
answered
all
their
questions.
There
were
really
no
major
objections
to
to
the
side
and
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
of
that.
Z
J
AX
The
facility
will
be
open,
sometimes
up
till
9
pm,
and
they
will
shut
it
off
when
the
facility
is
closed.
Okay,
thank.
AY
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
Danielle
Fonseca,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
I
host.
In
our
Butters
meeting
for
this
proposal
on
October
24th
of
2022,
there
were
three
of
Butters
in
attendance
at
the
meeting.
Wanna
butter
that
was
at
the
meeting
did
have
questions
if
the
sign
would
be
lit
for
24
hours,
if
the
sign
could
be
seen
from
other
streets
in
the
lighting
or
around
the
neighborhood,
and
if
other
cars
besides
Tesla
would
be
able
to
go
to
the
shop.
The
applicant
did
confirmed
that.
AY
None
of
that
would
be
the
case
for
those
questions.
They
did
attend.
The
Reidville
watch
neighborhood
group
Community
meetings,
two
times
the
last
being
in
October.
They
attended
this
in
person
and
the
group
did
have
questions
about
why
the
sign
needed
to
be
lit
as
they
felt
there
was
enough
Lighting
on
the
street.
Reidville
watch
also
wanted
the
applicant
to
follow
up
with
the
video
of
other
signs
that
Tesla
installed
to
see
kind
of
an
understanding
of
how
it
would
look
and
work.
AY
Members
of
the
group
also
inquired
about
the
noise
levels
when
it
be
installed
and
at
the
shop
and
the
applicant
did
get
all
of
these
questions
answered
and
follow
up
with
them
by
email,
as
requested
by
the
group,
and
we
haven't
received
any
letters
of
opposition
or
support
for
this
proposal
and
to
read
the
watch.
Neighborhood
group
did
not
send
anything
to
our
office
if
they
were
in
support
or
opposition
of
this
proposal
as
well.
So
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.

Thank
you
with
that.

entertain
a

if
you're,
okay,
with
it,

to

provide
an
outdoor
patio
with
green
space
on
the
existing
lot.
The
existent
lot
does
not
provide
for

However,
we
intend
to
provide
two

spots,
the

about
a
multi-family

then
a

sits
on
the

there
are
several

Along
with
other
commercial
spaces,
there
is
on-street
parking
in
the

will
provide

racks
in
the

can
get
to
Cummings
Highway
by
bus,
I'll
bring
trains,

are
lines

that
have
nearby
stops.
The
building
is
approximately
24

is
underutilized
and
we
would
like
to
maximize
its
full
potential
potential
for
the
residents
of
Mattapan
and
Boston.
We
have
presented
before
the
matapan
main
streets,
the
GM
and
sea.
It's
water,
neighborhood,
Associates,.
AZ
A
The
occupancy
the
full
capacity
of
the
space
I.
AZ
So
currently
we
have
two
off-street
parking
spaces.
There
is
so
the
concern
with
the
liquor
store
and
the
Funeral
Home
across
the
street
in
the
gas
station.
So
we
are
hoping
to
work
with
these
Butters
to
use
utilize.
Some
of
their
space
I
have
been
in
touch
with
the
funeral
home
across
the
street
Rebecca
over
there
and
I'm
pretty
sure
we
could
work
something
out
when
they're
not
in
use,
so
we're
hoping
to
schedule
our
activities
around
our
our
neighbors.
AZ
For
the
most
part,
the
gas
station
I'm
still
trying
to
figure
out
what
we
can
do
there
if
anything,
and
then
the
street
itself,
it
does
offer
additional
spaces
in
our
participants.
Whoever
comes
to
our
site
will
know
that
you
know
most
likely.
They
can't
park
right
up
front.
There
would
be
available
spaces
down
the
street
and
then
we're
going
to
encourage
public
transportation
course.
J
Yes,
Madam
chair
I'm,
trying
to
understand
what
is
the
proximity
of
the
adjacent
building
in
regards
to
setback
with
the
new
two-story
proposal,
so
the
residential
unit
on
the
left?
How
how
far
away
would
it
be
to
your
new
proposal.
J
J
And
so
the
Residential
Building
next
okay,
it
will
remain
the
same,
but
you're
going
up.
Another
story,
so
is
the
property
to
the
left.
What
is
the,
what
is
the
open
area.
AZ
G
Yes,
I
think
the
three
in
front
of
the
property
is
not
there
anymore
right,
but
do
you
have
any
any
plans
for
the
trees
in
the
back
of
the
property.
AZ
Yeah,
so
we
are
planning
on
putting
there
is
going
to
be
an
outdoor
patio
and
then
we're
gonna
have
green
space.
So
we're
not
going
to
remove.
AZ
Z
A
BA
Are
you
guys
doing
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Eric
James
of
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
applicant
for
631
to
633
Commons
Highway
had
an
abutters
meeting
on
October
25th
2022.
Unfortunately,
we
had
Noah
Butters
in
attendance
at
that
meeting.
BA
They
met
with
a
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
Council,
which
ultimately
chose
to
support
with
two
provisos
but
building
level
Edition,
so
they
recommended
for
the
building
to
remain
one
level
and
that
they
said
that
the
proponents
should
speak
to
the
directive,
Butters
of
Christ
Lookers
and
everybody
else
that
surrounds
them
to
be
able
to
use
their
private
parking
or
figure
out.
The
private
parking
situation,
as
the
current
site
has
no
on-site
parking.
BA
The
proponents
say
that
they
plan
on
holding
classes
as
well
as
renting
out
the
space
of
those
for
community
events,
so
the
additional
space
will
need
to
coincide
with
the
additional
parking
needs
and
so
that
they
were
also
the
classes
and
events
would
be
mainly
in
the
evenings.
So
the
second
provides
those
again
parking.
BA
So
they
would
like
to
obtain
written
agreements
of
the
directive
Butters
to
use
their
parking
spaces
for
plan
classes
and
events.
At
this
time
we
have
gotten
one
letters,
the
port
and
one
Petition
of
support
with
80
signatures
and
zero
letters
of
opposition
for
this
project,
and
so
with
that
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
the
first,
the
Judgment
of
the
board
on
this
matter.
Thank
you.
A
A

excellent

that
may
I
entertain
a
motion.

Please

B
Morning
again,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Richard
Linds,
with
the
business
address
of
245
Summer
Street
Boston
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
Madam
chair.
This
should
be
relatively
straightforward.
You
may
recall
back
in
November
of
20
2022.
The
board
actually
heard
this
case
and
granted
approval
unanimously.
B
However,
in
the
preparation
of
the
decision,
we
did
notice
that
one
of
the
items
for
that
that
should
have
been
cited
in
the
public
notice
was
not
included,
and
that
was
the
multi-family
use.
So
although
we
did
make
the
exact
same
presentation
back
in
November,
we
are
essentially
asking
the
board
to
reaffirm
its
decision
from
November
to
allow
for
the
proper
notice
of
the
multi-family
use
to
be
included.
So
nothing
has
changed
from
what
the
board
voted
on
in
November.
We
want
to
jump
quickly
to
slide
seven
and
nine.
AU
B
That's
probably
a
good
place
to
start
so
I'm
Madam
chair
just
to
refresh
the
board
members
who
were
there
in
November's
recollection.
This
is
an
existing
three
family
dwelling
that
is
being
completely
renovated.
We
did
propose
a
vertical
Edition,
consistent
with
the
surrounding
context
of
both
of
one
project
that
is
under
construction
to
our
left
and
the
project
that
has
been
recently
approved
to
our
right
to
match.
Both
heightened
Styles
project
is
located
within
walking
distance
of
Maverick
T
Station.
B
If
we
could
jump
to
slide
nine
two
slides
ahead,
that
will
also
identify
what
the
surrounding
contacts
would
look
like.
So
the
building
off
to
the
left
side
of
the
screen
is
a
corner
building
at
Orleans
and
Maverick
Street,
as
I
mentioned,
that
is
under
construction.
We
are
showing
included
rendering
that
was
approved
by
the
board
some
time
back
and
again,
our
building
to
our
right
is,
has
been
approved
and
was
commencing
construction
shortly.
Neither
project
is
affiliated
with
our
project.
B
This
project
went
through
a
robust
Community
process
again
and
having
been
presented
to
the
board
in
November.
We're
essentially
asking
the
board
to
reaffirm
its
decision
for
November
to
allow
for
the
proper
notice
item
to
be
included
in
the
decision
once
filed.
A
J
Z
A
Great
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
Okay,
all
right
may
I
hear
public
testimony
on.
AB
This
yes
Phantom
chair
members
of
the
board
Connor
demon

the
mayor's
office,
Neighborhood
Services,
the
sign
of

process.

AB

B
B
I
Z
Miss
dong,
if
I
may,
our
recommendation
back
in
November
was
just
a
straight
approval
with
design
review.
We
weren't
calling
out
anything
in
particular
great.
A
Thank
you
so
much
with

J
Yes,
I
would

D
Next
case
is,
excuse
me
boa
1412172.
The
address
is

copper
Smith

in
East
Boston.
This
is
a
wreck
to
four-story
three
family
dwelling
with
roof
deck
exclusive
to

there's

Mr
Lin's.
Please
announce
yourself
and
read
your
address
into
the.
B
Record
sure
thank
you
again.
I'm
Madam
chair
three
to
the
members
Richard
Lynn's
245
Summer,
Street,
East
Boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
Madam
chair.
This
proposal
involves
an
infill
type
development
coppersmith
way,
which
is
located
just
outside
of
the
Maverick
Square
area
of
East.
B
Boston
I
do
have
a
context
photo
here,
showing
some
of
the
surrounding
context,
as
the
board
can
see
as
a
relatively
dense
area
of
East
Boston
so
much
so
that
in
the
planning
study
for
plantings
Boston,
this
particular
area
is
being
recommended
for
some
of
the
highest
density
and
highest
Heights
in
the
immediate
neighborhood.
Under
the
current
zoning,
this
does
sit
presently
within
the
3F
2000
District.
The
proposed
use
is
allowed
in
this
particular
neighborhood.
B
B
So,
just
looking
around
the
neighborhood
here,
you
can
see
looking
down
copper
Smith
way,
some
of
the
other
newer
buildings
that
have
been
built.
There
are
three
four
and
five
story:
buildings
located
in
the
media
vicinity.
The
building
you
do
see
Office
of
the
left
here
of
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
Is
it
pre-existing
three
unit
building?
The
board
has
recently
approved
that
for
renovations
and
a
vertical
addition
to
that
building
will
be
a
four-story
building
in
the
future,
which
is
where
our
property
applied.
So
we
could
scroll
a
little
bit
further.
B
I
do
have
a
context
rendering,
so
here
we
are
showing
the
rendered
building
at
62
Liverpool,
which
is
immediately
adjacent
to
our
building,
as
well
as
our
proposed
building
at
four
stories.
As
indicated
in
the
announcement
of
the
violations,
this
does
include
a
roof
deck
that
would
be
exclusive
to
unit
3
and
access
from
internal
stairwell.
We
would
have
ground
level
living
space
that
would
provide
an
opportunity
for
an
80
accessible
unit.
The
first
and
second
floors
are
quite
similar
in
size
and
layout.
B
These
are
relatively
smaller
units
compared
to
the
upper
level
unit,
which
is
bi-level
and
entered
on
the
third
third
floor.
With
respect
to
the
violations,
again
being
an
existing
separately
assessed,
parcel
and
relatively
smaller
parcel
for
the
neighborhood.
We
do
require
relief
for
the
minimum
lot
size,
as
well
as
the
side
yard.
We
are
proposing
a
side
yard
condition
of
four
feet
from
the
building
nearest
at
62
Liverpool,
which
you
can
see
here
and
the
rendering
we
do
maintain
a
one
foot
setback.
B
But
again,
that's
pretty
consistent
with
the
setbacks
along
this
section
of
copper
Smith,
including
new
development
that
has
occurred.
We
do
propose
a
condition
again,
this
being
a
shallow
lot,
not
having
the
full
100
feet
in
depth.
We
do
propose
a
condition
of
a
relatively
short
setback
of
the
rear
at
one
foot.
However,
that
would
be
a
budding,
a
garage
which
is
located
on
a
property
for
Maverick
street,
so
there
is
no
habitable
space
directly
behind
our
property.
We
are
showing
a
flurry
ratio
of
three
a
little
over
three.
B
The
maximum
amount
is
1.0,
however,
as
we
could
see
from
the
surrounding
neighborhood
context.
It
is
pretty
dense
and
that
this
far,
that
we
are
proposing
is
consistent
with
recent
development
in
the
area.
Last
but
not
least,
is
the
height
of
43
feet
is
the
proposed
height
of
the
building.
A
little
for
a
little
over
43
feet
is
the
height
of
the
building
to
the
roof.
B
30
feet
is
the
current
maximum
that
is
allowed
under
the
zoning,
but,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
this
is
located
directly
across
from
the
Waterfront
commercial
District
buildings
directly
across
copper
Smith
way
can
be
at
a
height
of
55
feet
by
right
and,
as
I
said,
there
are
numerous
four
three
four
and
five-story
buildings
and
they
need
a
vicinity.
We
also
requesting
a
variance
from
parking.
We
would
require
three
spaces
of
parking.
This
particular
project
did
have
a
very
involved
Community
process.
There
was
some
consideration
of
looking
at
parking
at
the
lower
level.
B
However,
that
would
have
not
been
very
consistent
with
the
types
of
uses
along
that
side
of
copper.
Smith
congressmith
is
relatively
narrow
and
we
are
within
a
short
less
than
five
minute
walking
distance
to
the
Maverick
t-stop.
We
also
require
approval
under
the
g-cod.
We
do
have
our
no
harm
letter,
as
well
as
the
letter
of
the
Boston
water
before
I'll
pause
for
any
questions
about
the
board.
Madam
chair.
J
Madam,
chair
I
have
reviewed
the
plans.
I
do
have
some
general
concerns
regarding
how
tight
The
Proposal
is
to
the
rear
structure.
J
You
know
the
the
only
reason
that
the
applicant
can
put
some
windows
on
the
side
to
allow
light
and
air
into
their
bedrooms
is
because
the
adjacent
property
has
approximately
four
foot
I.
Think
one
of
the
like
a
setback
but
I
am
concerned
with
how
close
it
is
to
the
rear
property.
B
Through
the
chair,
I
could
just
respond
briefly.
I
believe
that
structure
of
Mr
Speaker
is
a
garage
that's
utilized
by
the
property
of
the
rear.
As
for
step
back,
we
do
set
our
building
back
four
feet.
On
the
left
hand,
side,
which
does
a
lot
for
openings
I,
know
on
the
right
side,
we're
limited
because
of

approximately

property
line.
Z
Thank
you,
madam

Our
recommendation
is
approval
with
design
review
on
this.
This
is
fairly
consistent
with
the
development
that's
been
going
on
in
the
immediate
neighborhood
around
there.
So
we're
in
support
of
this
project.

they
expressed
some
concerns
regarding
parking,
the
area

well
as
questions

AV
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz
with
that
onto
the
morency
business
address
of
168th
Street
in
South
Boston
joining
me
today
is
Mike
Higgins
from
St
John,
Paul,
Catholic,
Academy,
The
Proposal
in
front
of
us
today
is
a
request
for
a
conditional
use
permit
to
change
the
occupancy
just
in
one
room
to
include
a
daycare
program
for
the
school
total
capacity
for
the
daycare
room
being
sought.
It's
for
nine
toddlers
between
the
ages
of
15
months
and
two
years
and
nine
months.
AV
There
will
also
be
two
teachers
and
two
aides
to
cover
this
room.
I
want
to
just
give
you
a
little
bit
about
the
history
and
how
the
school
got
to
where
we
are
today.
Sjp
was
founded
back
in
2008
nine
Catholic
schools
were
merged
to
SJP,
to
keep
Catholic
Education
alive
and
Dorchester
and
Mattapan.
There
were
five
schools
in
the
academy
four
in
Dorchester
and
one
in
Mattapan,
ranging
from
pre-k
to
8th
grade
currently
they're
at
free
schools.
Remaining
the
program
receives
vouchers
from
the
early
Education
Center
in
Massachusetts.
AV
Over
200
students
received
these
vouchers
for
a
full
day
and
or
after
school
programming.
In
this
location,
toddlers
were
added
last
fall
because
they
had
an
additional
space
to
grow
enrollment.
Last
December
they
were
notified
by
the
eec
that
their
toddler
program
must
be
licensed
to
be
fully
funded.
They
began
the
application
process
immediately
and
found
out
that
they
needed
an
I-4
building
certificate
for
the
toddler
classroom
to
receive
this
type
of
funding.
In
order
to
obtain
the
I-4
cert,
the
occupancy
must
be
changed
in
that
one
room
for
a
daycare.
AV
A
Thank
you.
I
can
definitely
appreciate
the
need
for
more
child
care.
Are
there
any
questions
from
the
board.
AB
Yes,
Madam
chairman
Lord
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process
on
S
Helena
Butters
meeting
on
October
24th.

Can
you

Please.
BE
BE
The
mayor's
office
would
like
to
weigh
in
in
support
of
this
application.
There
is
only
19
of
child
care,
that's
available
for
infants
and
toddlers
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
so
every
single
Child
Care
seat
for
an
infant
and
toddler
is
incredibly
important.
We
urge
you
to
Grant
this
relief.
A
Mr
Shepard,

I'd,
just
like

Will
that
be
requesting
a
Mr,
Pearl

withdrawal.
AV
D
AV
Right,
yes
again,
thank
you
for
the
introductions
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
Adams
and
moransi
business
address
of
168
H
Street,
South
Boston.
We
are
here
requesting
a
deferral
on
this
matter,
as
you
can
see
from
what
was
advertising.
What
was
right
into
the
record?
One
of
the
conditions
precedent
was
for
us
to
specifically
name
the
three
locations
of
billboards,
the
existing
Billboards
that
we'll
be
removing
in
in
replace
of
allowing
support
for
the
construction
of
this
one,
digital
billboard.
Two
of.
AV
Have
only
identified
and
have
been
contractually
agreed
upon,
the
third
one,
we're
still
working
out
the
legal
parameters
surrounding
the
written
documentation
which
we
should
have
completed
within
about
a
week
or
two
weeks.
So
at
that
at
this
point,
and
due
to
that
so
in
order
to
allow
us
to
finalize
those
terms,
we're
asking
for
a
deferral.
L
A
AV
D
Okay,
we'll
go
now
I'm
sure
we'll
go
back

For

like

The

A
BF
Up
yes,
good
afternoon,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
Colorado

so
these
will
be
list
units,
it's
a
total
of
26
units
between
the
two
buildings
and
their
long-term
tenants.
We
also
have
outside
services
to
support
them
in
this
type
of
housing.
BF
A
Thank
you,
Derek.
Do
you
Mr
small,
do
you
have
additional
presentation,
nope.
A
Z
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
We
don't
have
a
problem
with
the
transfer
to
change.
The
Proviso
approve
the
project,
with
particular
attention,
with
screening
and
buffering
on
the
new
parking
that
that's
our
concern
right.
There.
AD
AD
A
little
bit
of
background
is
that
this
was
a
problematic
property
according
to
the
residents
that
they,
the
previous
owners,
would
have
up
to
56
tenants
and
they
are
limiting
them
to
28
current
tenants,
so
they
worked
with
Community,
have
listened
to
them
and
that
that's
how
they
received
their
support,
and
at
this
point
we
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
A
BH
A
BH
So
first
I
have
to
say
that
I'm
really
appalled
that
the
project
right
gave
support
for
this
project
when
we
were
not
involved
in
this
community
process.
We
are
direct
immediate
of
Butters
to
this
property
and
we've
had
a
slew
of
concerns,
so
we're
requesting
delay
of
any
approval
until
a
fair
and
a
Fair
Community
process
has
been
completed
because,
again
from
all
of
the
Neighbors
on
my
street,
we
have
not
been
involved
in
this
community
process.
BH
We
have
been
subject
to.
We
have
been
subject
to
residents
from
that
building.
Coming
to
our
street
sitting
in
our
Park
smoking
marijuana
drinking
we've
had
an
increase
in
in
carb,
break-ins
and
thefts
in
our
property,
which
happened
late
at
night.
Our
neighbors
even
have
some
of
these.
On
video,
we
have
an
ongoing
problem
with
with
the
conditions
of
that
property.
BH
It's
interesting
to
me
that
the
photos
that
have
been
shown
here
in
this
from
what
they
submitted
are
not
representative
of
what
the
current
conditions
are
of
that
property.
You've
got
vinyl,
siding
hanging
off
the
buildings.
The
building
has
deteriorated
a
lot
since
they
first
renovated
this
building
and
came
to
you
all
for
approval
to
make
it
a
rooming
house.
AU
This
is
Michael
Collison
from
Project
right
we've
had
different
Community
meetings
regarding
this
property.
We
will
follow
through
with
the
Elm
Hill
Improvement
Association
as
well
to
follow
through
with
some
of
their
similar
concerns.
The
key
point
is
that
they're,
taking
this
building
from
56
to
28
tenants
they've
also
have
a
plan
to
do
the
renovations
on
this
project,
like
they've
done
with
other
another
side
in
their
area.
BI
S
Let
me
just
add
to
that:
let's.
W
BJ
Me,
yes
hi.
This
is
Tyree
from
Elm
Hill
Park
as
well.
BJ
Birch
Simon
20
Elm
Hill
Park.
Thank
you,
I
just
wanted
to
also
second,
what
Carol
had
said:
we're
not
coming
in
this
meeting
with
the
intentions
of
of
explaining
our
personal
grievances
for
this
project.
We're
representing
the
entire
community
of
Elm,
Hill,
Park
and
Beyond,
so
I
would
think
it
would
be
in
best
interest
that
we
do
a
better
collaboration
on
how
we're
going
to
move
forward.
We
have
no
idea
we
got.
BJ
We
received
a
a
letter
by
mail
recently
about
this
meeting,
and
that
was
the
only
letter
that
I've
known
about
is
being
co-chair
about
what
is
going
on
in
the
the
residents.
We
do
have
an
increased
issues
that
we've
been
dealing
with
with
our
primary
tenants
and
residents
in
the
community
theft
has
gone
up.
BJ
We
have
several
videos
and
photographs
from
residents
depicting
the
residents
of
this
household
per
always
at
night,
coming
into
our
communities
and
either
being
belligerent,
causing
harm
and
arguments
with
our
community
members
and
also
causing
issues
with
the
children
on
our
street.
We
also
have
a
daycare
here
that
serves
young
children
from
a
infancy
onto
To
Toddlers,
and
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
protected
and
that
the
residents
and
the
and
the
caretakers.
BJ
What
the
updates
are
for
the
because
they're
also
the.
A
BI
BI
And
I
live
at
24,
Elm,
Hill,
Park
and
I
also
have
a
problem
with
the
way
that
this
has
been
going
forward.
We
have
had
major
problems
with
this
property
in
the
past
and
they
have
gone
about
doing
things
in
the
same
way.
We
never
nobody
on
the
street
ever
got
a
notice
of
any
meeting
regarding
this
property.
We
are
direct
directly
behind
this
property.
We
abut
this
property
and
we
want
to
be
included
in
this
decision.
A
Mr
Mr
small:
can
you
address
some
of
the
concerns
that
were
raised
by
the
Elm
Hill
Neighborhood
group?
Sure.
S
Throughout
the
process,
we
have
worked
with
Mike,
ozal
and
Folks
at
project
right
in
the
surrounding
Community.
With
regard
to
all
the
meetings
that
we
had
and
and
the
mayor's
office,
Neighborhood
Services
I
do
apologize,
and
we
are,
you
know
about
very
apologetic
if
there
were
people
who
were
not
involved
in
the
process
during
during
proceeding
with
them
appeal,
you
have
no
problem
with
going
back
and
continuing
to
meet
with
folks
with
regard
to
the
process
and
including
them
as
Michaels.
S
You
just
said
so:
I
mean
if
folks
want
that
to
be
a
Proviso,
and
we
will
commit
to
going
back
to
meeting
with
folks
and
as
we
move
forward,
that's
never
a
problem.
BF
Okay,
so
We've
attempted
to
the
extensive
Outreach
in
the
neighborhood.
We
apologize
that
they'll
kill
doesn't
involved
because
they're
absolutely
open
to
doing
that
again.
This
is
a
property
we
acquired
about.
BF
A
year
ago
we
went
to
the
neighborhood
association
prior
to
acquiring
the
property
back
in
August
of
21,
and
we
spent
two
hours
presenting
a
projector
and
a
plans
for
the
property
and
the
services
we're
going
to
provide
once
the
renovations
to
complete
it
right
now,
we're
working
with
the
state
and
the
city
to
to
close
on
funding
for
the
renovations
of
the
property.
So
it
will
be,
it
will
add
a
lot
of
value
to
the
neighborhood.
BF
It
will
look,
it
will
look
really
great
and
at
that
point
we
can
also
operate
at
full
capacity
and
provide
the
on-site
services
that
we
spoke
about.
Currently,
there
are
10
residents
that
carried
over
are
actually
nine
residents
that
carried
over
from
the
previous
owner
when
they
were
about
53
or
so
is
my
understanding.
BF
BF
As
recently
as
last
week,
we
have
to
include
any
additional
neighborhood
members
and
any
additional
Community
feedback.
Thank
you.
No.
A
J
The
Grievances
being
expressed
as
due
to
previous
ownership,
but
also
community
members,
are
expressing
that
they
were
not
necessarily
notified
in
the
neighborhood.
That's
what
I'm
listening
it.
You
know
appears
to
me
that
there
needs
to
be
a
little
bit
more
of
a
good
faith
of.
Y
J
Opportunity
to
outreach
to
resolve
you
know
issues
and
propose
new
management
types
of
strategies
for
the
project,
hello,.
S
S
Again
and
again,
Madam
chair,
we
are
willing
to
meet
with
folks.
You
know
as
we
move
the
project
forward
again.
Some
of
the
funding
with
regard
to
the
project
from
the
state
and
city
is
time
sensitive,
so
we
will
commit
to
continuing
to
meet
and
with
project
right.
You
know
you
can
include.
Y
A
Are
there
additional
questions
from
the
board
I
think
Miss,
better
Baraza
summarized
the
State
of
Affairs
accurately
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
J
I
like
to
perform
a
motion
to
defer
to
allow
for
Community
a
longer
not
longer
but
another
round
of
community
process.
You
know
it
can
be
a
short
deferral,
but
I
think
the
community
members
deserve
that.
J
D
No
I
understood
that
the
funders
are
in
support
that
there's
been
Community
process.
Certainly
there
sound
like
there
are
some
residents
that
have
not
been
included,
but
also
if
they
are
working
on
resolving
some
of
these
issues,
such
as
the
appearance
of
the
property,
by
closing
on
financing
to
do
Renovations.
That
financing
probably
is
also
contingent
on
the
status
of
these
approvals.

Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
secretary
I
am
on
the
call
to
this
afternoon
for
two
pleasurable
occasions.
One
is
to
welcome
all
of
you
to
the
new
year
and
also
to
welcome
the
new
members.
My
name
is
Joseph
feaster
for
the
law.
Firm
of
Dayton
Street
in
Boston
with
me
is
attorney.
Timothy
Frazier
from
Dave
taught
me
175
Federal
Street
in
Boston,
who
will
make
the
presentation,
along
with
our
client.
Thank
you
very
much.
BC
Thanks
attorney
feaster
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
and
board
Timothy
Fraser
from
the
law
firm
of
Dean
torpy.
Y
BC
Federal
Street
in
Boston
joining
me
today
for
the
presentation
is
Chuck
Jones
who's,
the
president
and
CEO
of
Harbor
Health
Services,
as
well
as
Matthew
kinlan
who's,
the
senior
staff
engineer
at
Gale
Associates,
that's
the
project
engineer
and
then
we
also
have
other
members
of
the
Harvard
Health
executive
team.
BC
The
ponson
health
center
at
398
Dorchester,
the
Daniel
Driscoll
Center,
has
been
in
the
community
for
over
50
years.
It's
a
full
service.
Community
Health
Center
provides
Medical,
Dental,
behavioral
Support
Services
to
the
patients
for
all
from
for
all
ages,
all
over
Dorchester
and
the
surrounding
communities
So.
Currently,
the
parking
is
free
that
the
health
center
has
52
parking
spaces
for
staff
and
patrons.
However,
we
don't
actually
control
all
of
that
parking.
BC
We're
actually
subject
to
leases
of
the
owners
of
those
parking
lots
and
those
aren't
certain
to
continue
in
the
future
so
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
patrons
and
our
staff.
We
propose
to
add
these
new
21
parking
spaces,
so
access
to
the
lot
will
be
by
way
of
a
private
way,
that's
adjacent
to
our
lot
at
Holbrook
Ave,
and
we
gave
consideration
to
that.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
spaces
that
we're
adding
are
actually
authorized
only
to
be
used
by
staff
and
that
reduces
the
number
of
trips.
BC
So
it's
really
just
one
trip
in
in
the
morning
and
then
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
shift
for
those
essential
workers,
there'd
be
another
trip
out.
So
we
completed
a
robust
Community
process.
We
held
a
Butters
meeting
and
then
also
met
with
the
Pope's
Hill
neighborhood
association,
as
well
as
some
specific
voters
or
to
address
their
concerns.
BC
But
overall
we
think
the
project
would
be
a
welcome
addition
to
the
community
because
it
addresses
potential
on-street
parking
issues
and
also
alleviates
traffic
concerns
on
the
adjacent
streets
and
otherwise
it's
in
character
with
the
surrounding
areas.
So
with
that
I'll
open
it
up
to
any
questions
from
the
board,
I
have
members
of
the
harbor
Health
Team.
If
you
have
specifics
on
about
Harvard
Health
as
well
as
Matthew
kinlin
who's
here,
if
you
have
any
technical
questions
regarding
the
big
parking
lot.
D
Yes,
Madam,
chair,
I
have
a
couple
of
questions.
One
is
I
was
just
wondering
if
there
were
no
opportunities
to
to
lease
spaces
in
other
neighboring,
lots
and
I
guess
perhaps
the
second
question
might
be
also
for
Jeff
Hampton.
How
does
this
relate
to
kind
of
flood
flood
issues
along
Morrissey
and
as
we
get
closer
to
the
coast
by
adding
another
large
parking
lot.
BC
Yeah
I'll
ask
Madam
chair
or
Madam
Ambassador
if
you
could
unmute
or
add
as
a
panelist
Chuck
Jones,
to
make
sure
that
he's
able
to
comment
as
the
CEO
of
the
health
center.
He
can
better
comment
on
the
leasing
structures
among
the
surrounding
parking
lots.
But
right
now
we
are
currently
leasing
some
of
those
parking
spaces
and
again
you
know
without
having
control
of
those
lots
if
any
of
those
leases
were
to
terminate
or
not
be
renewed,
we'd
have
an
on-street
parking
situation.
So
that's
really.
BC
BB
That's
true,
that's
true
attorney
Frazier
and
good
afternoon,
Madam,
chair
and
board.
We
have
we
currently
either
lease
or
have
relationships
with
several
other
parking
spots.
The
most
locations,
the
most
significant
is,
is
a
currently
unoccupied
building,
where,
on
a
given
day,
we
have
15
to
20
of
our
staff
using
parking
there.
You
know
we're
that
the
rent
for
that
as
a
non-profit,
we're
very
cognizant
of
of
our
overhead.
BB
The
rent
for
that
particular
lot
has
has
gone
up
significantly
over
the
past
year
and
we
are
not
confident
that
that
should
that,
should
that
facility
be
be
and
location
be
sold,
that
the
parking
that
we're
currently
allowed
would
not
be
sort
of
rededicated
for
that
new
businesses,
clients
and
so
we're
trying
to
avoid
this
on
street
parking
issue
that
that
could
could
result
in
a
couple
dozen
of
our
staff
we
do
have
just
in
terms
of
the
purpose
of
our
mission.
We
are
a
non-profit,
Community,
Health
Center.
BB
A
G
I
would
like
to
ask:
you:
are
considering
adding
more
trees
to
you
know
to
production
parking
or,
if
you
are
considering
special
paint,
and
it's
like
cool
payment
pavement
to
reduce
our
heat
during
the
summer
or
maybe
in
the
future,
covering
the
parking
with
a
solar,
solar,
solar
panels.
BC
Sure
so
I'll
I'll
leave
that
to
Matt
kinlin
to
get
into
the
specifics
and
I.
Don't
know
if
we
have
a
slide
here,
but
we
did
in
response
to
the
the
green
belt.
Provisions.
Add
some
screening,
that's
along
the
ponson
app,
so
we're
actually
adding
a
tree
line
area
to
sort
of
Shield
the
parking
lot
from
Neponset
Avenue
that
corner
that
you
see
it's
probably
it's
in
the
top
right
of
the
slide.
That's
that's
automatic!
So
the
side
of
that
parking
lot
that
that
is
adjacent
to
Neponset
ad.
G
AA
W
AH
How
you
doing
my
name
is
Gail
Associates,
so
this
this
parking
lot,
the
21
additional
spaces
will
actually
be
a
net
of
18,
and
this
was
this
was
based
on
the
amount
of
parking
that
is
is
rented
out
or
at
least
for
staff
and
I
know.
A
truck
had
mentioned
earlier,
there's
about
on
any
given
day
15
to
20.
AH
parking
spaces
for
staff.
So
this
was.
This
was
the
layout
that
provided
the
post
amount
of
staff
parking.
H
Sorry,
my
question
no
worries.
I
have
another
question:
do
you
offer
any
sort
of
subsidization
of
Transit
passes
for
your
employees
or
is
there
no
option
there?
So
that's
why
they
drive.
BB
Yeah
we
for
for
for
patients,
certainly
we
we
offer
transportation
services
whenever
possible
for
staff
from
time
to
time.
We
have.
We
don't
have
a
policy
that
says
here.
You
know
for
those
of
you
who
are
traveling
many
or
staff
walk,
but
also
many
come
from
all
over
Massachusetts,
some
I
believe
even
from
Rhode
Island
and
so
Transit.
The
public
transit
for
them
would
be
much
sort
of
more
time
consuming
to
an
already
long
commute.
So
we
do
not
currently
have
a
policy
to
offer
sap.
That's
your
question.
A
You
I
will
say:
I
have
I,
have
visited
your
location
by
public
transportation
and
it
is
not
very
easy
so
just
to
Echo
Echo
your
sentiment.
Are
there
any
additional
questions?
If
not
I
will
open
it
up
for
public
testimony?
Yes,.
AH
We
did
a
preliminary
class
estimate
and
the
cost
estimate
came
in
at
around
200
000.
20
I
think
only
200
to
225
thousand
dollars.
AH
Yes,
yeah,
including
the
subsurface
drainage
system
in
any
segmental,
retaining
wall
sections
that
that'll
be
required.
P
F
AB
AB
N
AI
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Joe
McGovern
City
councilor
Frank
Baker's
office,
we're
in
support
of
this
applicant
today.
This
area
is
a
small
commercial
back
up
for
Neponset.
We
struggle
with
parking
in
this
area,
many
of
the
neighbors
and
the
employees
struggle
on
a
daily
basis,
and
this
is
much
needed
parking
relief
for
this

so
we
are
in
support.

Hello,
my
name
is
Giovanni
Marquette.
My
address
is
615
registry
I'm,
with
my
brother,
Stephen
camoga.
A
We
can
you
briefly
walk
us
through
the
your
proposal,
so.
BM
BN
BM
So
the
third
floor
plan,
if
you
see
we
just
want
to
change
like
so
this
is
the
proposal
for
the
second
floor.
We
just
want
to
have
like
a
little
open
concept,
just
just
break
down
one
wall
between
the
kitchen
to
the
living
room,
to
open
it
up
and
we're
not
changing
nothing
on
that
floor.
If
that's
going
to
be
the
same
existence
claim
so.
The
second
floor
is
the
new
proposal
floor
plan.
BN
The
the
plan
itself
is
going
to
stay
to
the
form
of
the
house,
so
we're
just
really
planning
to
raise
the
level
to
one
more
floor
which
will
match
the
neighborhood,
which
has
many
families
around
right.
Now
we
have
a
pitch
roof,
so
we're
just
gonna,
raise
it
up
flatten
out
the
roof
and
yeah.
As
you
can
see,
yeah.
BM
BN
And
with
our
property,
we
also
have
like,
in
terms
of
like
the
off-site
parking,
we
have
additionally,
a
driveway
that
fits
up
to
the
four
cars
in
in
it.
BM
And
we
met
with
Eric
James
as
well
the
neighborhood
association,
and
he
he
approved.
He
didn't
have
nothing
bad
to
say
about
it.
Oh
and.
A
J
Madam,
chair
I,
have
reviewed
the
plans
just
to
give
some
context
to
the
board
members.
The
street
is
pretty
much
about
two
and
a
half
story
residential
units,
and
there
are
some
kind
of
Triple
Decker
typologies
along
the
street.
That
are
three
stories
very
similar
to
what's
being
proposed.
BM
J
H
I
have
a
question
Madam,
chair
I
was
just
wondering
sort
of
what
was
the
decision
behind
the
flat
roof.
I've
noticed
a
lot
of
the
neighborhood
looks
to
be
more
pitched
or
gabled
Roots.
There
are
some
flat
roof
structures,
further
south
I
think,
but
I
was
just
wondering
what
was
behind
that
decision.
J
The
the
right
across
a
Crawley
a
flat
roof
both
front
three-story
yeah.
BA
BA
They
also
met
with
the
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
Council,
which
voted
to
oppose,
citing
at
the
changes
requests
that
are
not
congruent
with
the
existing
homes
of
budding
these
properties
and
that
the
that
they
will
not
support
a
flat
roof.
The
current
elevations
want
to
be
for
two
and
a
half
story
structure,
and
they
were
also
calling
for
additional
review
of
the
additions
in
the
rear
for
the
balconies
and
the
parking
the
River
Street
civic
association.
BA
J
I
would
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
of
approval
with
extensive,
exterior
bpda
design
review,
just
just
to
ensure
that
the
typology
of
the
Triple
Decker
is
worked
within
and
that's
all
I
have.
Z
Q

B
Thank
you
Mr
secretary
good
afternoon,
again
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Richard
lens
of
the
business
address
of
245
Summer
Street
in
Boston
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
Madam
chair.
This
project
involves
the
demolition
of
three
existing
structures
on
a
site
that
is
approximately
a
little
over
14
500
square
feet.
It
is
located
at
3,
4
000,
neighborhood
District,
which
is
significant.
Considering
that
the
minimum
lot
size
is
only
4
000
square
feet
for
this
area,
so
we're
a
lot
being
at
over
three
times.
B
B
A
lot
into
two
conforming
size,
lots
and
constructing
two
separate
three
that
dwellings,
which
would
be
allowed
as
a
matter
of
writing
the
three
or
four
thousand
District
through
the
community
process,
we
agreed
to
eliminate
the
two
building
design
and
propose
a
single
six
unit,
building
design,
which
would
be
far
more
consistent
with
the
regulations
concerning
dimensions
for
the
three-act
district.
Specifically
I
will
run
through
those
who
want
to
just
scan
ahead
a
little
bit
to
the
rendering
we
could
always
jump
back.
B
If
there's
any
specific
questions
on
these,
but
the
rendering
I
have
is
starting
on
page
eight.
If
we
could
just
to
that
please
here
we
go
so
with
respect
to
the
proposed
site.
The
minimum
lot
size
required
for
this
area
is
4
000
square
feet.
As
I
mentioned,
we
have
14
662
square
feet.
The
additional
lot
area
that
would
be
necessary
for
additional
dwelling
unit
in
this
case
would
be
8
000
square
feet.
Based
upon
the
calculations
under
of
the
Austin
zoning
code,
we
would
have
about
10
600
square
feet.
B
Therefore,
more
than
enough
lot
area
for
the
proposed
six
units
that
we
are
setting
forth
here,
minimum
lot
width
for
this
district
is
45
feet.
We
do
have
70
feet
and
we
do
mean
the
side
yard
requirements
well
in
excess
of
the
five
foot
minimum
that
is
required.
We
have
13
on
the
left
and
16
on
the
right,
which
will
also
accommodate
a
driveway
for
a
Common
parking
area
located
to
the
rear
of
the
building.
B
The
rear
setback
for
this
property
under
article
under
the
Articles
applicable
to
this
neighborhood
requires
a
30
foot
step
back
from
the
rear
property
line.
We
have
almost
three
times
that
we're
still
setting
our
building
back
almost
80
female
junk
to
the
cycling.
In
a
moment.
With
respect
to
the
flood
of
your
ratio,
the
maximum
permitted
is
80
percent,
we're
just
below
that
at
79,
so
we're
also
compliant
in
that
regard.
The
permitted
height
in
the
area
is
35
feet
three
stories.
B
We
are
at
three
stories
33
feet
and
therefore
compliant
again
with
that
dimensional
control
the
open
space
required
for
you
to
the
650
square
feet.
We
have
a
generous
amount
of
open
space
that
we
able
to
provide
per
unit
in
this
case
well
in
excess
of
a
650
above
960
square
feet
per
unit.
Last
but
not
least,
is
the
parking.
We
are
proposing
a
total
of
12
parking
spaces.
Oddly
enough,
the
zoning
code
only
requires
by
based
on
the
calculations,
would
be
11
parking
spaces
for
six
units.
B
It
is
for
deficiency
in
this
case,
because
the
use
itself
being
multi-family
is
not
committed
to
the
district,
any
additional
parking
that
we
do
propose.
That's
considered
a
zoning
violation,
however,
by
providing
at
least
two
parking
spaces
per
unit.
We
are
clearly
meeting
the
purpose
and
in
Tech
of
the
zoning
code,
with
respect
to
parking,
so
all
in
all
overall,
this
literally
only
requires
release
for
the
use
of
the
building
itself,
that
being
a
multi-family.
As
of
close
to
two
separate
three
families
which
we
originally
contemplated.
B
If
we
want
to
jump
down
quickly
to
the
site
plan,
I
think
I
can
just
walk
through
quickly.
What
the
proposed
layout
would
be
go
one
more
slide
after
this
one
here
a
little
easier
to
read.
So,
as
you
can
see
here,
we
show
the
common
driveway
at
the
right
side
of
the
building
through
the
community
process.
B
There
are
a
number
of
other
concessions
that
we
did
make
with
via
Butters,
including
providing
some
screening
on
the
rear
decks,
as
well
as
location
of
mechanical
equipment
for
HVAC
to
the
rear
of
the
building,
we're
not
proposing
any
roof
deck
on
this
building,
so
the
height
of
our
building
will
or
at
least
the
roof
of
the
building,
will
remain
inactive
and
I
know
one
of
the
other
violations.
I
talked
about
both
front
yard
and
modal
step
back.
B
That
seems
to
be
a
little
bit
contradictory,
since
the
zoning
code
does
actually
permit
for
a
modal
set
back
in
the
district,
so
decide
us
for
front
yard
and
modal
seems
a
little
bit
confusing.
Nevertheless,
that
is
something
that
I
think
typically
can
be
worked
out
in
the
bpda
design
review
process,
especially
since
we
do
have
more
than
sufficient
rear
yard
setbacks,
so
any
adjustment
of
the
building
either
whether
it
has
to
move
forward
or
backward.
We
certainly
would
have
sufficient
room
to
do
that
with
respect
to
the
unit
sizes.
B
These
are
all
generously
sized
about
700
square
feet.
Three
bedroom
two
bath
units.
This
is
something
that
we
very
specifically
from
the
neighborhood
as
to
building
a
family
size
units.
This
is
intended
for
home
ownership,
so
these
would
be
individual
condominium
units
upon
completion.
I
will
pause
there
Madam
chair.
If
there
are
any
specific
questions
on
the
project,
I'm
happy
to
answer
those.
D
I
think
that
I'm
not
sure
that
Bob's
on
the
line
VSC
China,
but
we
were
left
with
his
note
that
this
these
plans
work
well
from
a
design
perspective,
sure
parking,
okay,
correct
for
parking
from
Bob.
Thank
you.
Mr.
A
Hampton,
did
you
have
any
recommendations
on
this?
One.
Z
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
my
apologies.
I.
Don't
know
why
this
didn't
make
it
over
to
you.
We
recommended
approval
with
design
review
on
this.
H
I
have
a
question:
that's
most
maybe
point
of
information,
but
would
there
be
an
opportunity
to
reduce
the
parking
leader
with
design
review.
B
That's
a
that's
a
great
question:
I
I
think
that
what
we've
proposed
in
the
neighborhood
of
12
spaces,
we
did
hear
some
mixed
reviews
on
that.
Some
asking
for
Less
parking,
more
open
space
I
fear
that
if
we
were
to
reduce
the
parking,
we
would
trigger
an
additional
violation.
Even
though
we
were
cited
for
insufficient
oxy
parking.
I
believe
the
correct
violation
is
that
we
have
excessive
option
Department
currently
based
upon
what
we're
proposing
at
12
spaces,
so
perhaps
I
believe
we
could
reduce
it
down
to
11
spaces.
B
If
that
was
what
the
board
required,
because
that
does
comply
with
the
calculation
for
the
Austin
neighborhood
for
parking.
BO
Yes,
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
board
Frank
Mendoza
at
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
Austin
Brighton
liaison
here
to
testify
that
the
applicant
attended
a
relatively
sparsely
attended,
a
Butters
meeting.
We
had
a
couple
of
concerns
from
a
Butters,
especially
a
couple
who
asked
to
have
those
concerns
addressed
in
writing,
which
the
applicant
did.
BO
Only
the
all
scientific
Association
gave
support
to
the
project
stating
stating
that
they
approved
The
Proposal,
with
the
Proviso
of
bpda
design,
review
the
no
building
code
relief
be
granted
and
upon
completion
that
the
units
will
be
sold
as
condominiums
on
the
open
market,
with
the
express
intent
of
own
occupancy.
At
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
AK
Yes,
Madam
chair,
Annabelle
Gomes
from
the
Brighton
Austin
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
and
support
with
design
review,
especially
along
the
side
of
the
driveway
that
affects
the
neighbor.
With
a
lot
of
concerns
she
asked
for
proper
Greenscape
to
buffer
her
property.
Thank
you.
AT
Madam
chairman
chair
members
of
the
boys
presenting
the
Austin
civic
association,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
welcome
back
those
returning
members
of
the
board
and
to
congratulate
the
new
members
of
the
board
of
forward
to
working
with
you.
We
are
in
favor
of
this
project,
as
was
mentioned
by
the
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
We
like
the
fact
that
they're
family-friendly
home
ownership
opportunities,
minimal
violations
of
the
zoning
code
and
the
the
fact
that
the
design
of
the
building
tends
to
assimilate
very
well
into
the
existing
neighborhood.
AJ
AJ
We
oppose
the
project
because
we
have
not
received
a
comprehensive,
written
and
signed
agreement
from
the
developer,
with
the
five
requests
that
we
were,
that
we
have
submitted
to
the
zba
and
also
to
the
Austin
civic
association.
So
even
though
they've
been
verbally
acknowledged
and
some
emailed
back
and
forth,
but
we
have
not
actually
received
a
request
in
writing
in
an
agreement
from
the
developer.
So
our
concern
is
the
project
gets
started
and
these
things
are
verbally
mentioned
here
there,
but
we
have
not
received
these
five
requests.
I
can
go
into
these
requests.
A
Y

A

the

D
B
And
good
afternoon
again,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board:
Richard
Lynn's
245
Sumner,
Street,
East
Boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner.
What
we
have
here
on
the
screen
just
a
quick
overview
of
the
site
context.
This
property
is
located
in
the
eagle
Hill
section
of
East
Boston.
It
presently
consists
of
a
pre-existing
three
unit
dwelling
which
we
would
propose
to
demolish
and
replace
with
a
new
six
unit,
residential
dwelling
with
parking
at
grade
for
six
Vehicles.
B
If
we
could
jump
to
the
next
slide,
this
will
help
at
least
put
things,
probably
in
better
context.
So,
on
the
left-hand
side
of
the
screen,
the
board
members
can
see
what
the
existing
building
looks
like
it
is
currently
vacant.
It
is
in
a
very
rough
condition
on
the
interior
and
certainly
would
require
a
substantial
amount
of
investment
and,
looking
at
this,
we
are
proposing
this
to
be
what
would
be
a
four-story
building
and
I
know.
B
Certainly
based
on
the
last
two
presentations
I
had
were
at
four-story,
buildings
I
think
it's
important
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
context
for
the
board.
So
in
this
case,
as
we
can
see,
the
surrounding
context
of
the
triple
Deckers
that
typically
exist
in
the
eagle
Hill
section
of
East
Boston
have
that
exposed
Foundation,
where
we
typically
have
a
walk
up
to
the
first
level
that
actually
brings
the
height
of
these
triple
Deckers
up
a
bit.
B
Not
you
know
not
too
different
that
we
see
throughout
the
East
Boston
Community,
but
something
that
we
particularly
see
here
in
Eagle
Hill
with
respect
to
new
construction
that
occurs.
You
know,
in
order
to
ensure
Ada
accessibility,
we
obviously
designed
a
building
where
entrance
is
at
grade.
So
comparing
that
to
the
existing
three
family
dwellings,
we
carefully
went
through
this
process
and
I
do
have
Eric
zaperson
on
who's.
B
The
project
architect
of
this
as
well
and
I,
think
it's
helpful
to
look
and
see
two
buildings
down
to
our
right
as
a
recently
completed
project
that
also
sits
in
four
stories
and
that
building
is
pretty
much
much
consistent
in
line
with
the
height
of
the
Triple
Decker
really
located
next
to
it.
So
we
were
trying
to
respect
a
lot
of
what
we
do
see
on
this
side
of
things.
B
The
height
of
this
building,
now
with
respect
to
the
unit
sizes,
we
do
have
a
mix
of
three
two
bedroom
and
three
three
bedroom
units
again.
This
was
something
that
was
born
of
the
community
process,
asking
for
larger
size
units
that
could
accommodate
families.
The
average
unit
size
is
about
1100
square
feet,
total
with
the
larger
units
close
to
around
1200
square
feet.
If
we
could
jump
to
the
next
slide,
this
will
also
be
an
important
this
guy.
So
well.
B
B
Went
back
a
bit
further
than
what
we
see
here
and
that
may
be
reflected
in
the
older
bpda
recommendations.
This
project
has
been
deferred
numerous
times
in
order
to
work
the
process
and
to
ensure
that
we
were
addressing
some
of
the
concerns
that
we
heard
we
do
actually
have
from
our
building
to
our
rear
property
line,
a
compliance
setback
of
30
feet.
That
is
what
the
zoning
code
requires,
and
we
do
propose
to
make
this
a
usable
Courtyard
for
the
entire
building.
B
B
Easily
be
eliminated
for
full
compliance,
career
setback,
we
do
show
roof
decks.
Those
are
accessible
to
the
upper
two
levels:
those
I'm
sorry,
the
other
two
units,
those
those
are
access,
access
from
internal
stairwells
and
hatches.
There
are
no
head
houses
being
proposed,
which
is
pretty
consistent
with
what
the
eagle
Hill
recommendations
are
for
design.
If
we
can
jump
to
the
next
slide,
okay,
so
we
do
show
our
site
layout
next
slide.
B
Please
I
think
we
just
want
to
see
the
floor
plan
layout
of
the
cat
yeah,
it's
actually
good
here,
so
we
do
show
the
internal
garage
with
our
lobby
space
area
when
you
access
the
building.
One
of
the
unique
I
think
features
that
we
are,
including
in
this
building,
to
ensure
that
all
units
are
accessible.
This
building
is
does
have
an
elevator
to
allow
access
to
all
levels
of
the
building
itself.
B
We
show
the
six
parking
spaces
in
a
semi-enclosed
garage
we're
able
to
also
accommodate
for
trash
and
other
storage
within
the
garage
itself,
if
not
require
any
of
that
to
be
located
on
the
exterior
of
the
building.
With
respect
to
the
relief
Madden
chair,
this
isn't
a
3F
2000
District.
The
lot
size
itself
is
sufficient
for
a
double
lot,
so
with
4166
square
feet.
This
could
be
subdivided
into
two
conforming
Lots,
each
with
a
little
over
2
000
square
feet.
We're
proposing
to
keep
that
as
one
lot
and
propose.
B
This
is
a
multi-family
use
with
respect
to
lot
width.
We
do
fly.
We
have
a
little
over
33
feet.
20
feet
is
the
minimum
requirement.
We
do
require
relief
on
the
side,
yard,
I
believe
we
do
set
it
at
close
to
zero,
and
we
did
that
in
order
to
address
some
of
the
setback
on
the
right
side,
where
we
do
provide
at
least
three
feet
that
allow
for
openings
and
windows.
B
B
We
are
showing
at
about
350
square
feet
of
open
space
per
unit,
and
we
do
show
a
total,
as
we
said,
six
parking
spaces
located
in
closed
garage,
although
eight
spaces
would
be
required,
we're
able
to
at
least
accommodate
one
space
per
unit
for
each
of
these
units.
This
is
attended
home
ownership.
This
was
again
something
we
did
here
throughout
the
community
process
as
being
the
preference,
so
these
would
be
intended
as
Condominiums
I
will
pause
there
and
address
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
Great.
Z
We
do
have
a
recommendation,
it
is
from
December
of
2021.,
so
the
plans
have
changed
substantially.
So
our
original
recommendation
on
the
original
Plants
was
for
denial.
Z
We
haven't
reviewed
these
plants
so
but
I
know
just
from
looking
at
it.
It
is
a
much
better
version
of
what
we
had
seen
from
the
beginning.
I
can't
make
a
change
in
the
recommendations.
I've
made
it
aware
to
the
board,
but
our
recommendation
was
over
a
year
ago,
yeah.
B
If
I
made
briefly,
we
have
changed
this
project,
including
the
open
space
to
the
rear.
We
understand
lot
coverage
was
one
of
the
bpd's
initial
concerns
and
again
dealing
with
the
height
with
respect
to
the
surrounding
context
was
also
some
of
the
changes
we
made
with
some
of
the
design.
Okay,.
J
Is
it
possible
that
you
can
just
briefly
identify
what
what
is
the
new
kind
of
open
space
and
law
coverage,
because
what
you're
shown
in
the
rendering
shows
a
significant
open
space?
But
it's
not
necessarily
what
I'm
seeing
right
in
front
of
us
on
the
ground
level.
Yeah.
J
You
just
clarify
whether
the
rendering
is
not
depicting
what
we
see
in
the
actual
plans
to
be
built.
B
Yeah
so
Eric,
if
you're
available,
I
know
that
the
setback
area
for
the
building
is
30.
The
building
itself
is
30
feet
to
the
rare
property
line.
This
may
be
actually
a
previous
site
plan,
but
if
we
can
jump
back
perhaps
to
the
Open
Space
Landscape
plan
that
will
probably
help
this
I'm.
Sorry.
If
we
can
jump
yeah,
so
jump
back.
B
AP
J
AE
G
Do
you
have
a
side
plan
showing
the
property
to
your
left
and
you're?
Looking
at
the
stairs
right
now,
you
are
almost
on
the
property
line
right.
You
really
want
to
see
what
is
the
relationship
with
between
your
building
the
stairs
and
into
the
border,
and
also,
if
you
talk
to
to
their
brother,
what
what
are
they
thinking
about?
How
invisibility
so
close
to
a
property.
B
I
think
if
we
go
back
to
the
slide
two
slides
before
that
may
actually
have
never
gotten,
so
we
do
show
our
building
to
to
our
left,
sir,
the
they
are
set
back
from
their
right
property
line.
So
we
do,
although
we
do
come
within
close
proximity,
the
property
line
on
the
left
there's
a
portion
of
our
building
that
actually
sets
back
on
the
front.
B
H
Y
H
B
That's
a
great
question:
I,
don't
have
the
overlay
here,
but
I
think.
If
we
go
back
to
the
head-on
shot
of
the
street
view,
we
could
probably
get
a
good
look
at
where
that
lines
up.
B
K
Technical,
the
difficulties,
like
everybody
else.
What
was
the
question.
A
This
is
the
the
setback
on
the
left,
a
pre-existing
condition,
or
are
you
further
encroaching
on
the
left.
AG
Food,
yes,
we
are
further
approaching
the
left.
We
are
for
a
portion
of
the
building.
We
are
near
New,
zero,
set
back
on
the
left
side.
J
It's
on
the
left
side,
your
huge
estate,
what
is
your
existing
side,
yard
setback
and
what
are
you
proposing.
AG
Sorry
I'll
have
to
pull
up
the
certified
plot
plan
for
that
I
think
it
might
be
the
first
slot
one
of
the
first
slides
in
this
presentation,
but
I'll
see
if
I've
got
it.
It's.
Q
AG
There
we
go:
oh
okay,
yeah,
so
the
this
is
the.
This
is
the
proposed
plan
and
you
can
see
how,
on
the
left
side,
we
actually
get
to
zero.
D
J
J
2.5,
okay
and
then
in
terms
of
clarifications
right
now:
you're
showing
30
feet
per
setback,
but
on
your
ground
floor
plan
it
seems
like
you're
parking.
Your
open
parking
spaces
actually
kind
of
covers
portions
of
that
dirty
feet:
rear
yard
that.
AH
J
AG
AK
J
H
A
Okay,
thank
you
with
that.
Can
I
hear
from
the
public.
AB
AB
Board
Connor
England
with
the
mayor's
office
and
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office,
like
defer
judgment
to
the
board
some
back
information
on
the
community
process.
It's
been
a
lengthy
one.
Our
office
held
a
Butters
meeting
on
September
2021,
a
Butters
we're
in
attendance,
expressed
concerns
regarding
density
and
parking,
and
also
concerns
regarding
the
potential
displacement
of
the
current
tenants
of
that
building.
We
understand
the
applicant
has
been
working
with
those
tenants
and
possibly
securing
them
other
locations
for
them
to
move
within
the
neighborhood.
AB
The
applicant
went
on
to
meet
with
the
eagle
Hill
civic
association.
The
association
voted
to
oppose
the
project
due
to
the
number
of
units
in
density
with
that
we
refer
to
the
Judgment
report.
Thank
you.
AC
Always
doing
here,
oh
go
ahead,
go
ahead!
Oh
yeah
aioli.
Can
you
say
the
name
and
address
automatically.
Q
Hi,
this
is
Amanda
Hurley
I
am
a
nut
butter
and
resided
229,
East
Eagle,
and
just
wanted
to
express
our
support
of
this
project.
It's
been
great,
seeing
this
project
adapt
over
the
past
few
years
from
the
original
proposal
to
what
it
is
today,
the
design
is
stunning
and
it
fits
in
perfectly
with
the
feel
of
Eagle
hill.
We
expressed
early
to
the
developer.
We
wanted
to
see
one
for
one
parking,
so
we're
really
glad
to
see
that
this
has
six
spots
and
that
is
it.
AM
This
is
Brian
meltonian
of
119
Princeton
I
just
wanted
to
Echo
what
the
last
lady
said
completely
agreed.
We
think
this
would
be
a
great
addition
to
the
neighborhood,
especially
with
the
developers
track
record
of
consistency
of
beautiful
projects
and
really
helped
me
transform
the
neighborhood.
So
that's
it,
but
full
support
of
the
project.
BP
J
So
we
can
just
get
a
report
on
that.
That
would
be
great.
Y
D
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
with
that
man
I.
D
Would
also
like
to
ask
a
a
question,
please
thank
you.
Going
back
to
Connor's
comments
from
Office
Neighborhood
Services
about
displacement
of
tenants
and
helping
them
to
relocate.
Can.
Can
the
proponents
speak
to
the
status
of
that.
B
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
anything
specific
through
the
chair,
mistake
and
I
know
that
the
building
is
vacant.
I
know
that
there
was
conversations
with
the
prior
owner
and
his
tenants
about
relocation.
The
building,
regardless
of
whether
or
not
that
was
development
plan,
was
in
a
dire
need
of
repairs
and
Rehabilitation
from
what
I
understand.
All
of
those
issues
have
been
addressed
adequately
for
the
tenants.
I
know
that
there
were
some
tenant
advocacy
groups
in
the
past
who
were
present
at
zoning
board
hearings.
B
Those
appear
to
have
been
all
addressed,
I,
don't
I,
don't
believe
any
of
them
are
here
to
oppose
that.
I
know
that
they
would
speak
in
opposition
if,
in
fact,
they
were
not
satisfied
with
the
result
for
the
relocation.
A
Any
other
questions
from
the
board.
If
not
may
I
entertain
a
motion.
G
Okay,
I
make
a
motion
to
a
group
with
BPL
design
review
in
with
a
special
attention
to
increasing
the
side
yard
sale
back.
A
Yes,
Mr
Valencia.
Yes,
we
will
yes
Mr
Langham,
yes,
Mr
Aiken.
No,
the
chair,
also
votes.
Yes,
motion
carries.

Yes,.
B
A
B
B
You
so
with
respect
to
this.
This
is
a
property
located
at
the
Oregon
Heights
section
of
East
Boston,
a
relatively
short
walking
distance
to
Oregon
Heights
T
Station.
Our
proposal
would
subdivide
the
existing
a
little
over
6
000
square
foot,
Lots
two
lots.
We
would
maintain
an
existing
pre-existing
three
unit,
dwelling
on
the
right
hand,
side
and
proposed
to
erect
a
new
oriented
dwelling
three
stories
with
parking
at
the
lower
level
for
four
vehicles.
B
B
As
our
existing
conditions
are
here,
you
can
see
the
build.
The
blue
building
on
the
right
hand,
side
is
the
existing
three
unit
dwelling
the
land
to
the
left
side,
which
actually
runs
through
both
all
the
way
through
to
breed
Street,
which
is
located
to
the
rear
of
the
property
and
up
uphill
a
bit
is
is
where
this
is
located.
B
So
we
propose
into
a
rack
the
new
for
you
to
dwelling
on
that
site
if
we
could
just
Advance
the
slide,
one
more
I
believe
we
have
the
rendering
itself
again
just
a
different
view,
looking
up
and
down
late
in
the
street
as
well,
and
then
next
slide
should
show
the
rendering
as
well
I
apologize,
One,
More,
okay,
so
I
believe
we
also
have
Eric
zackerson
on
here
as
well.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
done
again
in
looking
at
the
surrounding
context
was
try
to
understand
what
we
do
see.
B
Typically
on
this
side
of
Lane
Street,
for
this
proposal
and
trying
to
keep
with
the
character
along
this
section
of
Lane
Street,
there
are
a
number
of
three-story
dwellings
throughout
this
portion
of
the
neighborhood.
We
are
able
to
accommodate
parking
at
the
lower
level.
We
will
be
able
to
fit
four
vehicles
at
a
lower
level
for
purposes
of
having
one
one
vehicle
per
unit.
This.
BG
B
Also
would
have
an
elevator,
not
unlike
the
last
proposal,
allowing
accessibility
to
to
each
of
the
units
here.
Part
of
what
we're
looking
at
by
way
of
relief
for
this
particular
site
involves
the
lot
side.
So,
although
we
are
required
to
have
4
000
square
feet,
minimum
this
particular
site
would
be
3634
square
feet
slightly
below
what
the
minimum
odd
size
requirement
would
be.
Our
proposed
floating
ratio
would
be
1.22
it's
in
excess
of
the
0.8
that
is
particularly
allowed
for.
B
B
Does
have
exceptions
what
we
call
through
lots
and
in
this
particular
case,
if
this
lot
existing
as
we're
proposing
it
would
not
require
any
rear
yard,
because
the
zoning
code
actually
indicates
that
the
front
yard
requirements
will
apply
for
through
Lots.
In
this
particular
condition,
we
are
setting
the
building
back
a
substantial
amount
of
distance
from
Breed
Street.
Furthermore,
there
is
no
real
usable
rear
yard,
because
we
are
on
a
slope
and
the
property
does
slope
dramatically
up
towards
the
Green
Street
as
well.
Our
side
yard
conditions.
B
We
are
showing
three
footstep
back
on
this
side.
Seven
foot
is
the
requirement
under
the
boat,
so
we
do
request
relief
for
that
and
with
respect
to
parking,
we
are
required
to
have
a
total
of
size.
Space
is
based
upon
the
four
units
we're
proposing.
As
indicated
we
would
be
providing
four
spaces.
One
per
unit,
the
height
of
our
building,
is
31
feet,
six
inches,
it's
a
three-story
building
that
is
below
the
35
foot
height
limit
that
is
currently
permissible
in
the
orient
Heights
neighborhood.
B
However,
two
and
a
half
stories
is
the
limit,
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
mostly
this
side
of
Layton
Street
is
Trip
full
triple
backers
and
full
of
three-story
buildings.
So
we
are
requesting
a
variance
for
the
story
owner.
The
units
themselves
include
a
mix
of
one
and
two
beds.
We
do
have
a
total
of
three
two
bedroom
one
one
bed,
the
two
beds
are
a
little
over
750
square
feet.
Each
and
the
one
bed
actually
has
a
little
is
a
little
bit
smaller.
With
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
before.
Z
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
We
made
this
recommendation
back
in
August
and
to
us
it
was
just
too
big.
The
Proposal
was
successive.
The
number
of
violations
was
excessive,
so
we
recommended
to
now
without
prejudice.
B
Here
we
go
this
existing
condition.
Plan
I
do
believe
every
proposed
condition
plan
further
in
did
you
want
to
see
this
existence.
B
I
think
we're
looking
at
yeah
further
there.
We
go
perfect
so
again
that
area
to
the
rear
is
actually
sloped
dramatically
up
towards
breed
breed
is
probably
elevation
plus
30
from
Layton
Street.
So
we
do
have
a
substantial
amount
of
slope
in
the
back.
We
do
anticipate
providing
some
gentle
Landscaping
on
the
rear
portion
of
the
property,
but
it's
probably
not
very
usable
based
upon
the
slope
of
the
land.
A
AB
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
Neighborhood
Services.
This
time
the
mayor's
office
referred
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
to
back
the
information
on
the
community
process.
Our
office
hosts
in
the
butters
meeting
on
March
31st,
seven
of
others,
were
in
attendance.
A
Butters
who
were
president
expressed
concerns
with
existing.
O
AB
Issues
that
they
think
might
increase
due
to
excavation,
not
concerns
about
parking,
as
well
as
conversations
around
what
they
perceive
as
existing
high
density
on
Leighton
Street.
The
project
went
on
to
the
Orient
Heights
neighborhood
Council,
for
which
voted
for
which
the
council
voted
to
oppose
with
14
residents
against
and
three
in
support.
Our
offices
also
received
two
letters
in
opposition,
which
I
believe
we've
made
available
to
the
zoning
boards.
With
that
we
refer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
W
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please.
AC
B
And
I'm
sure,
if
I
could
just
respond
briefly
to
some
of
the
comments
regarding
the
process,
you
know
we.
We
certainly
understand
the
concerns
over
construction
related
activities,
including
rodents.
We
did
address
that
adequately.
We
feel
as
a
community
presentation.
Any
project
that
is
built
in
the
community
has
to
go
through
a
specific
process
with
ISD,
and
this
is
this
project
will
be
no
different.
The
amount
of
you
know
baiting
and
trapping
pre-construction
would
be.
B
B
We
feel
can
address
parking
on
site
in
this
particular
case.
We
make
a
very
specific
effort
to
include
parking
at
grade
based
upon
those
comments
and
concerns
I've
heard
very
early
on
the
process.
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
do
have
four
spaces
in
the
garage
level
again
pointing
out
that
this
is
also
located
in
close
proximity
to
orient
Heights
station.
A
very
short
walk
to
the
station
as
well,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
added
those
comments.
More
purposes
of
the
hearing.

A
BD
BD
Yeah,
so
the
the
limitation
of
off
street
parking
that,
where
that
was
discussed
during
my
during
the
last
hearing-
and
you
know
we
so
as
a
result,
I
had
to
propose
tandem
parking,
which
is
parking
back
to
back.
But
but
the
issue
with
that
that
was
raised
by
Bob
I'm,
not
recalling
his
last
name
right
now.
But
it
is.
It
was
too
tight.
So
what
I
had
done
it?
It
was
too
tight
because
I
had
on
the
side
of
the
house.
BD
D
I
have
a
name
chair,
I,
don't
see
anything!
Oh
sorry,
yes,
Bob
did
write
that
he
has
no
problem
with
tandem
parking
designs.
It
is
private
as
long
as
it
does
not
penetrate
into
the
front
yard.
D
J
The
drawings
are
adequate,
I
do
just
see
Frontier
parking
with
one
vehicle
just
wanted
to
make
note
of
that.
D
Sorry
about
our
chair,
I
do
have
one
question:
oh
yes,
if
we
could
just
hear
from
Jeff
Jeff
Hampton
a
little
bit,
because
the
recommendation
had
been
that
the
project
should
not
proceed
based
upon
excessive
far
I
know
it
is
in
a
three
family
District,
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
can
get
a
little
bit
more
ppda
context.
Z
Yeah
I
think
when
you
go
from
one
two
or
two
I
think
it
was
to
see
I
can
I.
BD
Go
ahead
and
refresh
yes,
so
I,
my
my
proposal
before
it
was
a
I
was
proposing
a
seven
foot
rare
lot
setback.
BD
J
AD
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Keisha
Santana
from
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
our
office
held
in
a
Butters
meeting,
and
they
met
with
their
local
Civics,
where
they
received
support,
there's
no
known
concerns
or
oppositions
that
was
brought
to
our
office,
and
at
this
point
we
would
like
to
defer
a
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
A
J
F
But
I
would
still
answer
that
with
recommendation
and
Jeff
and
Jeff
poor
Bob
's,
not
on
so
I
agree.
I
have
no
problem
with
that.
We
can
put
that
into
the
motion
as
well.
What.
K
K
AQ
Y
J
H
H
F
The
loss
of
privilege
for
five
yard
parking-
yes
I
will
I,
will
go
with
my
colleague
on
this
one.
So
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
have
the
bpda
designed
to
do
and
also
limit
the
front
yard
pocket
or
exclude
the
fund.
The
other
department.

D
BQ
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Mike
Ross
I'm,
an
attorney
at
the
law,
firm
of
Prince
Lobel,
congratulations
to
you,
madam
chair,
and
to
miss
Bena
Barraza
for
returning
and
to
the
new
members.
Welcome
it's
good
to
see
you
all
in
the
time
that
you
called
this.
You
called
the
11
30
deferral
call
and
in
the
time
that
now
present
I've
had
a
conversation
with
the
district
City
councilor.
There
is
still
some
opposition
Matthew
around
this
matter.
BQ
A
A
Second
Ms
beta
Braza.
Q
A
D
D
Hey
final
case
of
the
day,
boa
1348905
address
120
to
124
Babson
Street
in
Mattapan.
This
is
for
15,
independent
elderly
housing,
plus
Adult
Day
Care.
On
the
ground
floor.
There
are
two
violations:
article
60,
Section
8,
for
both
of
them
use
of
elderly
housing
is
forbidden
and
day
care
center.
Elderly
is,
it
would
be
a
conditional
use
the
applicant
identified
themselves
and
read
their
name
and
address
into
the
record.
A
A
Yes,
can
you
can
you
share
your
reasons
and
the
time
timeline
you
need
so
Mr
Aiken
can
give
you
an
appropriate
new
date.
AO
A
BK
No
because
we
were
trying
to
reach
so
there
was
like
a
it's.
Not
an
issue
like
there
was
just
like
a
a
misunderstanding
with
with
whether
we
were
going
through
article
80,
but
so
I
guess
that's
what
they
were
trying
to
fix
with
the
drawings
and
everything
like
making
adjustments
and
stuff
like
that.
D
We
have,
we
have
an
updated.
BP
A
Okay,
that
sounds
good,
so,
with
that
may
I
have.
G
Them
I'm
sure
I
would
like
to
ask
if
I
may
yes
leave
him,
you
can
tell
us
what
are
the
results
for
considering
introducing
the
number
of
units.
BK
So
we're
also
having
an
elderly
daycare
on
the
first
floor,
so
we
own
one
in
Hyde
Park
already
and
then
you
know
reducing
the
units
because
we
don't
we've
been
in
the
building
for
a
while.
Now
and
I
know.
If
we
go
18,
it's
there
will
be
longer.
I
have
to
wait
for
another
year
to
go
through
that
process.
BK
J
I
mean
Giovanni,
you
bring
up
a
really
good
public
discussion
because
we
are
in
a
need
of
housing
right,
but
it's
being
noted
that
the
applicant
doesn't
want
to
go
through
a
lefty
process.
Jeff.
Can
you
speak
on
that?
Isn't
there
going
to
be
a
more
expedite
process
for
those
that
are
providing
housing
for
vulnerable
populations,
yeah.
Z
And
I
don't
want
to
give
the
impression
that
we're
opposed
to
elderly
housing.
It's
just
the
number
that
flashes
out
at
you
and
yes,
we're
trying
to
get
an
expedited
process
for
affordable
housing,
hopefully
eligibly
housing.
But
if
the
applicant
is
going
to
go
less
than
15
units,
then
he
wouldn't
have
to
do
that
anyway.
Z
Oh
yeah
I
mean
I,
know
what
everybody's
getting
at
and
what
we're
working
at
here
in
my
shop
and
in
terms
of
trying
to
get
things
permitted
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
since
they
were
already
in
the
queue
they're
gonna
have
to
just
go
forward
now,
so
going
less
than
15
I
think
would
be
beneficial.
Yeah.
A
I
think
at
this
point
this
is
the
applicant's
choice
in
order
to
perceive
more
expeditiously.
So
if
someone
would,
if,
if
someone
can
make
a
motion
for
him,
that
would
be
great
at
this
yeah.
A
A
Mr
Shepard
did
Mr,
Shepard,
speak
yeah;
okay,
sorry,
Mr,
Valencia,.
G
A
BK
Would
than
that
by
any
chance
like
a
month
from
now.
D
BK
A
Right,
thank
you
with
that.
We've
concluded
our
first
our
first
session
as
a
new
board.
So
congratulations.
