From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearings 8-8-23 (Part 2 of 2)
Description
Part 1: https://youtu.be/DmIm_Lo3h0Q
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
B
C
Sounds
good,
let's
do
a
roll
call,
Mr
Stembridge.
D
C
E
F
G
You,
madam
chair,
we
will
start
off
with
the
hearing
skip
before
11AM.
G
That
would
be.
That
would
be
the
next
thing.
I
would
ask
him
so
at
this
point
we
will
ask
if
there
are
any
draws
deferrals
that
would
be
requested.
I
D
G
Okay,
and
for
which
case
is
that.
G
Of
277
279
Watsonville
Avenue,
would
you
identify
yourself
and
explain
quickly.
I
I
We
have
to
continue
working
with
the
community
didn't
have
time
in
order
to
complete
that
process.
Ible.
K
Available
date,
I
would
suggest
to
put
October
31st
is
the
next
state
for
African
continues?
Okay,.
D
D
C
E
M
D
K
N
Yes
I,
my
name
is
Edward
gaida.
You
know
my
cameras,
I
apologize,
but
I
am
a
developer
for
48-54
Tory

Beyond

Four,

sorry.
G
Go

Let
me
be
able
to
thank
you
case,
boa
146-1525,
it's
the
address
being
48-54
Story
Street.
Thank
you.
Go
ahead.
N
Sure
we
have
to
unfortunately,
request
a
deferral
to
the
next
available
hearing
date,
based
on
a
zoning
code
refusal
review
having
been
done
last
Friday
in
the
zone,
encode
refusal
letter
being
updated
to
add
two
violations
that
were
missed
on
our
original
violation
letter.
D
C
E
G
G
It's
your
way,
one
four,
four,
two:
seven
zero!
The
address
of
27
Shepherd
Street
is
the
applicant
and
when
they
representative
president.
Q
This
is
Michael
Welsh
and
Anthony
King
here
as
well.
The
applicant
my
name,
is
Michael
Welsh
with
Dalton
Feingold
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
in
this
matter,
and
we
also
have
with
us
our
architect,
who
will
be
following
up
in
with
some
information
on
the
design
in
one
second,
just
pulling
out
my
notes.
Here.
Q
Okay,
so
the
property
is
27
Shepherd
Street
in
Brighton
Massachusetts,
and
this
is
for
a
proposed
project
which
is
a
new
construction,
a
three-story
multi-family
building
with
six
dwelling
units
and
seven
on
street
parking
spaces.
The
Zone
belief
that
we're
seeking
is
for
additional
lot
area
per
dwelling
unit,
four
area
ratio
in
Broad,
Street
Parking.
Q
Just
for
a
brief
summary
of
the
community
process,
the
applicants
had
three
about
his
meetings
and
three
additional
meetings
with
the
baia.
They
have
five
letters
of
support
from
the
butters.
In
fact,
I
had
several
meetings
on
the
design
with
bpda.
You
gotten
feedback
on
the
design
to
get
ahead
of
that
incorporate
some
of
that.
G
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
I
for
some
reason,
I
can't
turn
the
video
on
or
share
my
screen.
Can
someone
share.
G
So
the
if
we
want
to
go
up
to
the
there
we
go.
Thank
you.
G
Sorry
I
think
it
muted
me
when
I
got
you
so
the
sorry
and
again
this
is
Nick
Landry,
the
architect
from
DRT.
G
G
G
The
the
new
building
is
is
hatched.
In
over
the
existing
building.
You
can
see.
We've
got
a
parking
area
to
the
rear
of
the
building
with
seven
spots
for
those
the
six
units
proposed,
you
want
to
go
down
to
the
the
next
page
think
this
show
that
page
right
there
perfect
with
the
colors
yeah
perfect.
G
G
Our
new
building
on
the
street
side
is,
is
the
green
that
you're
seeing
there
it's
it's
roughly
the
same
width
as
what
there
is
today.
What's
what's
there
today
and
it's
it's
slightly
taller
than
what's
there
today
we
have
today
it's
a
two-story
building
and
we're
going
to
be
adding
dormers
on
in
the
attic
to
make
that
space
habitable.
But
from
the
street
view
it
maintains
roughly
the
same
same
presence,
the
there's
a
main
entry
at
the
front
of
the
building
and
then
there's
also
a
side
entry.
G
We
we
have
a
ramp,
that's
going
to
get
you
into
the
front
end
of
the
side,
entry
to
provide
Ada
access
to
all
of
the
units,
all
the
units
on
the
ground
floor
side
and
you
can
see
we've
kind
of
broken
it
up.
We've
got
all
the
units
are
duplexed,
so
the
front
portion
of
the
building
you've
got
a
unit
on
the
first
floor
in
the
basement.
The
middle
is
the
front
floor
in
the
basement
and
the
rear
is
the
is
the
first
floor
in
the
basement
off
the
rear
of
the
building.
G
You
can
see,
we've
got
it's
a
it's
a
similar
setup
where
the
the
first
floor
that
you
enter
into
the
unit
on
is
more
of
a
common
area.
You
know
kitchen
living
dining
and
then
the
the
spaces
above
are
the
bedrooms,
got
a
a
small
deck
off
the
rear
of
the
building,
and
then
we've
got
a
small
deck
off
the
side
of
the
building
on
the
second
floor
and
then
up
on
the
third
floor,
there's
one
roof
deck
dedicated
to
just
the
unit
in
the
front
of
the
building.
C
You
speak
to
the
parking
spaces
and
the
the
landscaping
and
trees.
R
G
G
No,
so
the
the
the
Landscaping
will
be
in
the
front
of
the
building
and
then
also
along
the
side
of
the
building
between
if
you're
looking
to
building
the
right
hand,
side
we'll
have
trees
planted
all
the
way
down
that
side
of
the
building
to
shape
to
kind
of
buffer
it
from
The
Neighbors
we're
meeting
the
sat
back
on
that
side
of
the
building.
G
Obviously
you
can
see
those
the
neighboring
houses
are
close,
so
we
wanted
to
try
to
you
know.
One
of
the
comments
that
we
that
we
we
had
received
is
that
you
know
they
wanted
some.
You
know
more
privacy
in
that
area,
the
the
there'll
be
a
fence
around
the
rear
of
the
building
and
some
trees
planted
in
front
of
the
cars
to
shade
to
buffer
the
neighbors
to
the
rear,
and
that
would
be
a
fence
all
the
way
on
the
driveway
side
of
the
building.
G
You
can
see
I'm,
sorry,
that's
my
coaster,
but
on
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
screen
that
brown
box-
that's
that's
the
roof
deck
and
it's
success
directly
from
the
no
it's
the
one
right
down
there
yep
and
that
success
directly
from
the
unit
below
and
again
that's
a
private
deck
that
you
can't
see
from
the
street
and
if
we
keep
going
down
so
these
there
we
go
so
that
the
front
elevation
there
on
the
right
hand
side
you
can
see
that's
what
what's
there
today
are
two
stories
without
the
Dormers
and
again
this
is
an
elevation
from
the
street,
which
is
why
you're
seeing
that
roof
deck.
G
You
can
see
on
the
on
the
East
Elevation
to
the
left.
There,
the
roof
deck
set
back
far
enough,
so
that
you
can't
see
it
from
the
street
and-
and
you
can
see,
we've
got.
We've
got
the
two
entries
for
two
of
the
units
that
are
on
the
front
and
then
on
the
side.
G
There's
a
side
door
and
it
looks
to
me
like
this,
set,
isn't
the
most
updated
set
because
there's
a
ramp
on
the
side
of
the
building,
so
I'm
not
sure,
what's
going
on
there,
but
there's
a
ramp
on
that
side
door
now
to
get
into
the
side
door
as
there
is
on
the
front.
T
Think
the
architect
just
clarified
that
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
is
not
the
most
updated
drawings
just
because
I
couldn't
find
any
ramps
on
the
plans
and
the
elevation.
So
it's
good
to
know
that
you've
accommodated
for
accessibility,
we're
just
not
seeing
it.
G
Yeah
yeah
so
I'm
not
sure
how
that
why
you
don't
have
the
most
updated
set,
but
that
that
was
a
change
that
we
we
had
spoken
preemptively
reached
out,
I
think
to
the
bpda
just
to
get
some
input
on
design,
and
that
was
one
comment
that
came
back.
L
I
have
one
question
yes
or
no
are
any
of
these
units
low
income
units.
G
As
of
right
now,
no
they
aren't
plan
is
for
all
of
these
to
be
ownership
units.
This
isn't
a
rental
building.
O
N
G
Things
about
that
yeah
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
that
first
of
all,
I
think
and
I
didn't
mention
this,
so
the
the
parking
area
will
definitely
have
permeable
pavers
because
I
know
that's
one
concern
about.
You
know
rainwater
runoff,
but
but
as
far
as
the
trees
in
the
parking
you
know
that
was
when,
when
we
had
what
like
I
think
Michael
would
mentioned,
we
had
several
Community
meetings
and
and
parking
in
this
area
is
a
large
concern
because
of
it
being
a
one-way
Street.
G
It's
it's
fairly
densely
populated.
So
then
they,
you
know
that
that
was
a.
That
was
a
very
big
concern
of
the
neighbors.
Is
that
you
know
we
provide
as
much
parking
as
possible.
G
Think
I
don't
have
that
number
off
the
top
of
my
head.
I
can
get
that
for
you
in
a
second,
it's
I
think
it's
within
walking
distance
I!
Think
it's
towards
at
the
end
of
Shepherd.
O
T
I
mean
another
comment
is
that
you
have
three
sets
of
two
bedrooms
units
all
below
grade.
You
know
they're
they're,
just
kind
of
really
dark
bedrooms.
T
You
know
you
have
one
winner
chat
house,
your
apologies.
You
have
one
on
the
first
floor
that
has
direct
access
delay,
but
it's
very
submerged
so
you're
putting
a
lot
of
bedrooms,
the
majority
of
it
with
very
small
window
openings
they're,
acting
more
as
just
window
egress.
T
So
just
you
know
just
to
make
a
comment
that
it'll
be
interesting
to
hear
bpdas
if
Jeff
Hampton
is
here,
I
would
love
to
hear
his
feedback
in
terms
of
that,
because
one
is
okay,
but
to
have
majority
of
bedroom
units
under
sunken
I
would
love
to
hear
bpda's
position
on
that.
C
G
G
The
number
of
kayaking
spaces,
where
it's
right
in
the
middle
of
Brighton
Center,
we
think
you
know,
even
though
they're
already
deficient
in
the
number
of
parking
spaces.
We
think
seven
is
too
much
so
we'd
like
to
see
that
changed.
I
know
the
appellant's
already
addressed
one
of
the
issues
with
terms
of
accessibility
by
putting
in
those
ramps,
and
we
appreciate
it
because
we
saw
the
exact
same
plans
from
the
planning
department,
as
you
all
are
seeing
it
right
now.
G
But
to
answer
your
question:
Mr
Baraza
directly,
the
bedrooms
weren't
a
concern
having
them
in
the
basement.
T
Would
you
say
that
you're
advocating
for
the
the
ability
to
have
just
additional
habitable
rooms
units
that
pre
that
moves
forward
more
so
than
a
little
bit
of
you
know
lack
of
play
and
air
I.
V
G
V
C
Y
Yeah,
sorry,
it's
Ray's
going
so
I'm
getting
that
a
year.
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
thank
you,
okay,
so
we
voted
against
this
project
due
to
the
density,
the
setbacks,
the
neighbors
concerns.
One
of
the
concerns
is
also
having
the
bedrooms,
and
the
units
in
the
basement
is
difficult,
because
that
street
is
very,
very
narrow.
The
houses
are
all
somewhat
not
informal.
X
X
A
great
amount
of
time
we've
also
many
of
the
students
by
the
fact
that
the
house
different
clothes.
The
noise
is
just
going
to
be
very
high,
especially
over
there,
so
that
was
one
thing
that
we
can
even
come
as
well.
Thank
you.
X
P
Z
Next
to
it,
I
just
want
to
register.
My
opposition
also
said
the
same
thing
in
the
budget
meeting.
I
think
all
four
of
our
owners
are
opposed
to
it,
not
just
one.
The
reason
is
now:
it's
just
about
believe:
it's
not
well
the
space
green
trees,
there's
three
trees
outside
my
property
just
facing
you
know
the
this
is
27
beautiful,
trees,
I
think
they
will
be
removed.
Z
The
last
three
trees
right
there
and
the
you
know
the
big
three
bedroom
three
level
buildings
are
definitely
block
the
sunlight
to
my
product
properties
and
also
their
parking
issues
and
the
noise
privacy
issues,
and
you
know,
I
think
they
already
expressed
by
previous
speakers
and
everything
we
follow
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Q
You
know
I
think
that
I'll
just
briefly
briefly
mention
is
I
know
that
two
concerns
would
raise
one
being
setbacks
and
one
being
you
know,
without
the
elimination
of
open
space
or
open
space
in
general,
so
I
just
know
that
we
don't
have
violations
for
those.
We
did
extend
the
side
yard.
That
is
goes
up
against
25
Chapman
Street
to
accommodate
that
that
so
to
make
that
further
away
and
again
those
are
just
two
things
that
we're
not
seeking
to
meet
for.
G
And
just
about
the
trees,
we
had
done
a
shadow
study
showing
that
the
trees
that
they're
there
today
block
more
light
than
the
building
that's
being
proposed.
So
I
know,
although,
although
we
are
removing
trees,
there's
a
comment
about
shading,
just
just
just
wanted
to
let
you
know.
AA
Madam,
chair
I
will
put
forth
a
motion
to
approve,
with
a
couple
of
provisos,
that
the
plans
be
submitted
to
the
bpda
for
design
review
and
no
building
code
relief
shall
be
granted
and
that
the
proponent
redesigned
the
floor
plans
for
the
project
for
accessibility,
I.
Guess
it's
unclear.
If
that's
been
done,
it
doesn't
seem
like.
Those
are
the
plans
we
saw
today
and
to
lastly
reduce
the
number
of
parking
spaces
to
be
between
zero
and
six
spaces.
With
the
goal
of
preserving
permeable
area
and
trees.
AA
T
AB
T
I'm
gonna
go
no
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
the
six
units,
but
I
do
have
a
problem
with
the
amount
of
bedrooms
in
the
basement,
because
it
seems
like
when
you're
requiring
a
variance
it
I,
don't
necessarily
see
such
a
hardship.
I
think
you
can
make
good
use
of
the
property
without
necessarily
putting
so
many
bedrooms
in
the
basement.
D
AB
G
I
am
good
morning,
Madam
chair
Mr,
secretary
and
members
of
the
board
attorney
Matt
eckel,
with
Fletcher
Tilton,
with
a
business
address
of
100
Franklin
Street
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
What
we're
speaking
this
morning
at
4-6
Alcott
Street,
is
to
change
the
occupancy
from
a
two
family
to
a
three
family,
rebuild
the
rear,
decks
and
a
rack.
The
rear,
egress
stairwell.
The
project
will
also
include
the
installation
of
a
sprinkler
system
right
there
on
the
screen,
you're
just
seeing
the
existing
conditions
largely
remaining
the
same.
G
Apparently,
the
building
contains
a
two-family
dwelling
with
a
built-out
third
Story.
The
only
changes
we're
proposing
to
the
building
are
to
rebuild
the
decks
in
the
rear.
The
first
floor
and
second
floor
decks
are
actually
getting
a
little
smaller
to
accommodate
the
rear,
egress
there
and
then
the
third
floor.
Deck
will
be
getting
a
little
bit
bigger
to
match
the
decks
below,
and
the
stairwell
will
obviously
provide
a
second
means
of
egress
to
all
three
units.
This.
AC
G
Is
located
in
a
three
F
4000
zoning
sub-district,
so
the
proposed
three
family
isn't
allowed
use
the
existing
lot.
Size
is
3214
square
feet
and
our
growth
square
footage
is
3547
square
feet.
This
will
not
change
again.
The
only
change
we're
proposing
of
the
rear
decks
being
rebuilt
and
the
new
stairwell
in
terms
of
the
floor
plans
as
they
exist
today.
First
floor
contains
unit
one.
It's
an
approximately
1350
square
feet.
A
three
bedroom
one
bathroom
unit
floor
two
will
contain
the
second
unit,
which
is
also
13
50
square
feet.
G
Three
bedroom
one
bathroom
unit
and
the
third
floor
proposed
new
unit
as
unit
three
could
be
850
square
feet.
One
bedded
room,
one
bathroom.
The
majority
of
the
violations
that
were
cited
for
this
proposal
are
pre-existing.
We
are
seeking
relief
for
open
space.
However,
the
total
open
space
is
actually
staying
relatively
the
same.
We're
just
increasing
the
unit
count
which
makes
that
requirement
go
up.
We
also
got
cited
for
parking
due
to
the
additional
unit.
However,
we
do
have
two
parking
spaces
and
by
keeping
the
building
we
obviously
could
not
add
any
additional
parking.
G
I
would
note
we
are
keeping
the
bedroom
count
exactly
the
same.
So
even
though
we're
required
the
extra
parking
space,
the
bedroom
count
and
density
actually
isn't
increasing.
With
that,
I
will
I'll
pause
and
happily
answer
any
questions.
The
board
may
have.

open

meetings

Then
I
have
to
go
in
opposition
to
that
I
know
it's
existing,
but
since
you're
doing
this
you're
changing
the
actual
layout
of
the
property
and
because
of
that
I
have
to
go
in

Thank
you
thanks.
AH
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Tony
DeSoto,
representing
the
Austin
civic
association.
This
is
a
a
long
time
owner
of
the
property
who's
done
a
good
job
in
maintaining
the
property.
We
feel
that
the
modifications
being
made
reasonable
and
appropriate,
given
that
the
proponent
work
closely
with
director
Butters.
So
we
would
like
to
go
and
record
and
support.
P
AI
Hi
I
would
also
like
to
go
on
record
of
support.
I
am
a
current
current
tenant
of
for
Alcott,
Street
and
Taz.
Our
landlord
has
been
super
communicated
with
us
about
the
process.
What
we
can
expect
before
signing
we're
really
excited
about
the
prospect
of
this
frankly
system
and
our
unit
as
well
for
fire
safety
and
the
units.
The
attendance
for
Alcott,
don't
foresee
any
issue
and
all
want
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this.
Thank
you.
I.
AA
Madam,
chair,
I'll,
put
forward
a
motion
of
approval
and
I
also
just
want
to
you
know,
give
respect
to
Mr
jamico's
comment
about
the
parking.
However,
I
recognize
that
they
were
to
extend
that
parking.
It
would
result
in
additional
Paving,
so
I
think
it's
just
a
difference
of
opinion,
but
I'm
supportive
of
this
project,
as
is
thank
you,
wait.
AJ
C
G
AK
AK
My
name
is

I'm
going
today
live
Ben

Dan

the

women's
principal
the
project
at
the
architect.
AK
Now
it's
important
the
guard
iteration
with
removal
of
the
law.
I
was
recently
reviewed
by
ISD,
but.
A
AK
At
a
Butters
meeting,
we
met
with
kids
having
such
a
group
several
times.
We
we
work
with
me
Butters,
to
explain
some
conservative
regarding
the
site,
drainage.
W
AL
AK
He's
not
and.
A
The
site
so
with
that,
alternatively
yeah
good
morning,
thank
you
for
hearing
us.
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
new
edition,
the
new
building
were
both
not
the
ones
that
are
Illustrated
issue
of
this
project.
As
a
three-story
instruction,
the
existing
Foundation
was
approval
in
2009
and.
M
A
Set
the
limits
for
what
the
sign
you
had,
we
party
guys
setbacks
would
be
so
that
this
building
is
is
designed
to
see
directly
onto
that
Foundation.
The
first
floor
of
the
building
is
that
grade
with
with
cold
work.
There
are
10
parking
spaces
there
for
two
Paras
lobby
with
the
lifts
so
that
you'll.
A
Floor
gone
is
that's
the
fourth
call
here
on
the
second
floor
is
the
this
has
been
revised
so
yeah,
that's
the
set
the
whole
two
bedrooms,
two
baths.
The
master
bedroom
was
here
with
the
deck
off
the
left
hand
side
there
was
some
open
space
exactly
to
the
next
slide
is
the
third
floor,
which
is
really
the
living
area
for
the
facility.
This
is
where
there's
it
was
a
half
bath
located
the
kitchen
living
area.
A
Is
there
as
well
as
the
deck
on
the
back
of
the
building
facing
towards
Carson
Beach
I
thought
the
last
game
in
the
World
Series
yeah.
K
C
Okay,
oh
I'm
gonna
defer
to
Javier.
So
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
AL
C
AM
G
At
this
time,
Beyond
11
30.,
yes,
discussion,
so
at
this
point,
I
will
ask
request
that
involves
of
the
Pearl
from
the
Olympics.
G
G
74.
for
our
street,
please!
Yes!
So
that
means
okay,
spoa
145

with
your
address
of
74
horror,
Street,
here
too.
Yes,
why?
Yes
thank
you:
I'm
The,
Rocker
Advantage,
your
number
support,
Richard
Lynn's,
245,
Sumner,
Street,
East
Boston
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
manager.
Since
the
last
airing
we
have
been
in
the
process
of
updating
the
plan.
We
just
have
not
received
back
the
updated
review
from.
M
AL
K
Here,
what
October,
17th
birthday
after
you've
just
said,
plans.
G
C
Hey
I'm
here,
don't
keep
stacking
them.
Will
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
D
E
G
I
I
Two-Story
Edition
with
the
mezzanine
this
building.
Our
successful
now
is
around
1700
square
feet
and
we
are
proposing
to
add
one
story
with
a
roof
deck
for
a
large
family.
The
addition
will
contain
two
bedrooms
and
in
a
bathroom
the
variances,
the
the
height
is
being
increased.
There
are
three
violations.
Essentially
one
is
the
floor.
I
Area
ratio
which
would
be
slightly
increased
by
about
0.5,
is
an
existing
non-conforming
conditions,
as
it
sits
on
a
695
square
feet
long
and
the
other
violation
is
the
restricted
roof
structure
in
that
particular
area.
Every
time
that
the
improved
profile
and
configuration
is
altered,
relief
will
be
required
from
that
section.
I
So
that's
the
height
is
being
increased
by
about
10
feet,
slightly
less
than
10
in
the
building.
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
renderings
that
were
submitted
later
shows
that
the
building
will
be
at
or
is
slightly
below,
the
two
adjacent
buildings
and
within
the
required
high
percent,
which
is
35
feet.
I
Light
means
of
egress,
as
required
for
code,
is
provided
to
that
story
and
to
the
roof
deck
and
also
light
and
ventilation,
as
required
for
code
is
provided.
There
are
no
openings
on
either
side
of
the
proposed
tradition,
as
there
are
restricted
by
the
property.
Openings
would
be
only
on
the
front
and
rear
of
the
building.
I
Stories
below
and
if
you
have
any
questions
with
the
owner,
went
through
extensive
Community
review.
We
had
two
meetings
with
the
very
Village
neighborhood
association.
We
also
met
with
the
landmark
commission
and
the
here
in
the
full
hearing
with
the
landmarks
was
deferred
on
the
zoning
board.
Modulus
is
granted
other
than
that.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I
wouldn't
be
happy
to
answer
that.
F
All
right,
yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Shirley
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
service.
Our
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
At
this
time
we
had
a
community
meeting
that
our
office
held
in
November
of
2022,
and
they
also
met
with
the
Bay
Village
neighborhood
association,
which
they
were
opposed
to.
The
Head
house
structure
I've
also
received
18
letters
of
support
from
the
community
we'd
like
to
refer
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
AD
V
V
Represent
Steve
Rosen,
the
director
butter
to
this
project
at
12,
Piedmont,
Street,
Unit,
5.,
Mr
Rosen
opposes
the
project
because
it
will
completely
box
in
this
bag,
deck
foreclosing
light
and
views
from
the
deck
and
negatively
impacting
its
privacy.
To
be
clear,
this
isn't
about
opposing
all
development
at
this
site.
The
second
floor
could
be
extended
all
the
way
to
the
rear
without
impacting
Mr
Rosen
and
the
proposed
third
floor.
Roof
deck
could
be
configured
in
a
similar
manner
to
the
current
second
floor,
without
impacting
Mr
Rosen.
V
Instead
of
exploring
these
ideas,
and
even
after
Mr
Rosen
reached
out
to
the
applicant,
the
applicant
opted
to
ignore
Mr,
Rosen
and
the
legitimate
harm
this
project
will
cause
to
him.
No
one
will
be
more
harmed
by
this
project
than
Mr
Rosen.
He
values
his
privacy
and
enjoys
the
privacy
and
light
currently
available
on
his
back
deck
I'd
like
to
make
three
quick
points
on
the
strict
variance
standards,
because
this
project
does
not
satisfy
any
of
them.
V
First,
the
lot
is
roughly
the
same
size
as
many
other
residential
lots
in
the
area
at
18
by
38.
It's
almost
exactly
the
same
size
as
most
of
the
Lots
on
Melrose
Street,
which
is
parallel
to
Piedmont.
Second,
the
land
can
be
reasonably
used
as
a
residential
home
and
in
fact
it
is
currently
in
use
by
the
applicant
as
a
residential
home
and
third,
the
project
is
inconsistent
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
V
Very
few
properties
in
this
neighborhood
have
roof
decks
and
none
that
I
could
find
have
the
massive
head
house
being
proposed
for
this
project,
which
brings
me
to
one
final
point:
it's
regarding
the
height
a
novite
pipe
variance
was
sought
here,
however,
under
Section
63-20,
the
roof
structures
are
supposed
to
be
included
in
the
height
and
when
considered
with
the
height
required
in
this
District,
this
project
does
exceed
the
height.
For
these
reasons,
we
encourage
the
board
to
hold
this
project
to
the
dimensional
standards
required
and
to
protect
the
neighborhood
in
Mr
Rosen
in
particular.
G
Hi
this
is
Steve
bernick
I'm,
the
owner
at
number,
18
and
20
that
Butters
to
this
to
this
number
16
and
we've
attended
a
number
of
the
meetings
that
the
architect
is
brought.
These
drawings
we've
asked
that
there,
the
upper
floors
be
stepped
back
from
the
street
and
I
haven't
seen
these
changes
having
happened,
and
it
just
seems
like
over
just
too
much
for
what
the
the
neighborhood
the
style
of
the
neighborhood,
so
I
would
ask
that
the
board
Rob
reject
the
strike.
Thank
you.
X
Thank
you
Mark
and
then
Earl.
AC
Oh
hi,
this
is
Mark
Valentine
I
live
with
my
family
at
12,
Piedmont
street
right
next
door
and
just
wanted
to
share
a
statement
of
support
for
the
family
at
16,
Piedmont
Street
in
terms
of
their
character
and
and
that
they're
a
good
asset
to
the
to
the
neighborhood
and
the
community,
and
my
family
is
right.
Next
door
personally
doesn't
have
any
issue
and
we
would
support
the
project
as
it's
being
proposed.
AC
P
AC
AM
AN
Mr
winter,
yes,
thank
you,
I'm
a
resident
in
the
neighborhood,
very
close
to
the
property
that
we're
discussing
as
Mark
said,
I
believe
that's
Mark
I'm.
In
total
support
of
of
of
this
modification
I've
been
in
the
neighborhood
for
more
than
11
years.
This
family
is
a
huge,
hugely
positive
to
our
neighborhood
and
our
wonderful
neighbors.
AN
P
R
I'm
Benny
bear
I'm
the
architect
for
the
project
with
the
business
address
of
2001
Beacon
Street
in
Brighton
and
I'd
like
to
just
mention
that
the
joins
that
are
presented
here
today
are
some
outdated.
We
have
modified
the
design
to
receive
from
the
street
through
the
comments
of
one
of
the
about
those
we
submitted
them
yesterday
and
I'm
somewhat
surprised
that
they're
not
presented
here,
but
the
the
design.
S
Has
reduced
the
it
has
received
it
from
the
street
and
the
Edition?
Thank
you.
P
Okay,
I'm
not
sure,
what's
happening
with
his
audiobook,
have
no
additional
lesbians.
Okay,.
C
I
Yes,
thank
you
well,
first
of
all
on
the
head
house,
but
I
heard
the
comment
that
is
massive.
It
is
a
requirement
from
the
State
Building
Code.
There
is
a
conflict
in
the
provisions
of
the
roof
structure
and
the
state
building
called
that
particular
section
of
his
own
permits.
Access
to
the
approved
Direct
by
by
a
hatch,
unfortunately,
development,
Court,
reaching
in
cases
of
conflict,
reveals
when
designing
a
structure
requires
that
access
to
a
local
Point
group,
then
I
provide
that
on
the
call
report
that
is
with
the
documentation.
I
Access
to
the
roof
has
to
be
provided
by
a
penthouse.
It's
not
safe
to
have
a
hatch
in
this
particular
case,
especially
with
the
property.
Now
the
other
thing,
with
respect
to
light
and
ventilation,
the
existing
condition
of
the
rail
of
the
property
is
sort
of
an
existing
Courtyard
is
surrounded
by
Walls
by
it.
The
border
at
12
feet
on
the
street.
The
16
people
Street
this
particular
case
in
the
rear
building.
T
Yes,
I
have
the
question
in
regards
to
article
63,
section
6320
of
roof
structure
restriction
and
if
Jeff
Hampton
can
speak
on
it
or
the
architect
can
speak
on
it,
I
am
reading
here
that
it
says:
roof
structured,
head
houses
and
mechanical
equipment
normally
built
above
the
roof
and
not
Designer
used
for
human
occupancy.
She'll
be
included
in
measuring
the
building
height
of
the
total
area.
So
is
the
violation?

would
take
out

and
I
believe
it
was
granted
for
this
petitioner.
Only
so
we
need
to
go
through
this
process.

So
it's
I
guess
it
would
be
across
the
street
from
I'm
trying
to
blank
that
hotel
near
Fenway
Park
the
circular.
No,
not
the
Marriott.
AA
AO
I'm,
not
sure
I
think
there's
a
McDonald's
next
to
us
as
well.
This
used
to
be
a
Qdoba
okay,.

Madam

The

work
closely
with
the

Both

Madam
chair,
having
said
we
used
that
I
will
definitely
be
brief.
Homework.
I
would
definitely
attempt
to
do
that,
but
thank
you
very
much
to
be
able
to
come
before
the
full
boy.
Joseph
theater
for
the
law,
firm
of
Dane
torpy,
175
Federal
Street
between
1500
Boston.
This
is
really
a
a
an
effort
on
the
part
of
the
applicants
who
are
on
Michael
William
with
Ellie's.
That's
Magnus
to
just
simply
realign
a
an
existing
curb
cut.
What
I
didn't
have
when
we
met
before
The
subgroup?
AQ
Was
the
information
or
the
history
of
this
curb
cut,
which
predates
1984
and
I,
provided
that
information
for
the
board
and
it
should
be
in
the
board's
records
that
there
were
of
the
worst
commission
has
done,
did
work
on
Winter,
Street
and
so
prior
to
1984
and
the
character
was
there
and
the
city
recognized
that
and
did
the
work
and
recognized
that
curb
cut.
AQ
AQ
Right
now,
I,
don't
know
whether
you're
absolutely
correct
Madam
chair
additionally,
when
I
submitted
was
information
again
in
2015
and
2012
2020
three,
when
the
again
Public
Works
had
hearing
and
address
winter
speed
recognized
in
this
particular
curve,
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
from
the
offset,
it's
essentially
a
realignment
not
in
charge
of
two
to
create
or
to
establish
a
new
curb
cut.
AQ
One
of
the
two
other
issues
I
like
to
mention
Madam,
chair
in
in
order
to
be
brief,
is
when
the
my
clients,
who
want
the
wife
who
is
a
registered
nurse
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why,
for
she
gets
home
at
various
points
and
time
late
in
the
evening
early
in
the
morning
and
wanted
to
have
a
space
where
she
could
park
on
on
on
their
property.
AQ
And
then
they
have
agents
of
family
members
who
are
visiting
and
wanted
to
provide
them
with
a
space
as
well
when
they
bought
this
property
in
2021.
And
this
is
a
property
that
was
built
in
1890
for
when
they
brought
this
property
in
2021.
I
also
submitted
for
the
board's
information
that
The
Brokerage
said
that
there
were
two
parking
spaces
here.
Lastly,
what
we
have
here
before
I
have
Mr
Marini
talk
about
the
exact
dimensions
that
we're
talking
about.
AQ
A
simple
realignment
is
that
there
has
been
a
a
a
lot
of
support
for
this
a
project
and
we
submitted
a
petitions
of
57
60
students
and
supported
this
project.
I
have
a
letter
in
support
by
counselor,
Fernandez,
Anderson
and
and
went
from
a
retired,
firefighter
Stephen,
moss
and
I
I
believe
that
as
well,
councilor
Louisiana.
It
also
in
support
of
this.
G
It's
18
feet
on
the
outside
of
the
curb
stones
and
that's
just
shifting
it's
shifting
5.57
feet
to
the
right,
but
to
the
north,
so
that
enables
two
compact
cars
to
maneuver
independently
at
the
as
depicted
as
depicted
in
the
planet.
The
sidewalk
remains
concrete.
The
spaces
themselves
would
be
determinous,
but
that's
on
the
side
itself,
so
really
within
the
public
right
away.
G
AQ
AA
AQ
If,
if
the
Ambassador
can
go
through,
we
submitted
one
which
showed
The
Brokerage,
drawing
which
shows
the
site
at
that
time,
that
the
Ambassador
can
find
that,
but
Miss
we
will
I.
It
was
also
I
believe
that
it
might
be
in
your
packet
with
this
as
well,
because
we
submitted
it
for
the
file
which
would
have
shown
you
the
picture
so
I
don't
know
if
the
Ambassador
can
get
to
that
particular
one.
J
T
I
can
also
describe
to
you
because
you
can
locate
it
on
Google
Earth,
but
it's
the
existing
is
there's
an
existing
curb
cut
and
it
appears
that
it
it's
currently
holding
one
car
space.
AA
AQ
No,
the
reason
why
I'm
doing
that
those
were
submitted
just
to
demonstrate
that
they
are
see.
As
you
can
see,
there
are
some
that
are
so-called
depending
upon
where
you
see
the
front
door,
but
nonetheless,
no
there
are.
AQ
We
were
just
showing
that
there
are
curve
cuts
that
exist
here,
and
what
we've
demonstrated
is
that
this
is
a
curve
cut
that
existed
prior
to
1984,
recognized
by
the
city,
and
the
only
effort
here
is
to
do
a
real
life
not
to
create
a
new
current
climbing
for
the
reasons
that
were
mentioned
both
for
elderly
persons
who
might
be
visiting
Plus
for
the
safety
of
the
applicant's
wife,
who
is
the
applicant
who
is
a
registered
nurse,
suggests
to
be
able
to
provide
an
additional
oil
street
parking
a
horse
people
in
space.
AF
Yes,
Bob

Boston
transportation
department.
If
I
may
preface
my
statement
I
it's
good
to
hear
from
Mr
feastery
a
former
chair
of
the
EBA
I'm
in
Hawaii
love
and
have
enormous
respect
for
that
being
said
again,
it's
the
front
yard
parking
that
BTD
cannot
support
in
both
spaces
are
undersized
and
the
maneuverability
would
be
very
difficult.
The
way
the
plans
are
shown
so
with
love
and
respect
was
the
feast
or
I
have
to
go
in
opposition
to
this
plan.
AF
G
J

J

Your
clarification,
Mr
feaster.
It
is
currently
an
existing
condition
of
one
space,
correct.
AL
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Keisha
Santana
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
and
a
veterans
meeting,
was
held
on
May
3rd,
where
our
Butters
did
Express
concerns
and
opposition
towards
the
project
to
the
front
yard
parking
and
setting
a
precipment
for
the
neighborhood,
and
there
were
a
total
of
47
signatures
collected
from
the
butters
in
opposition
to
this
project.
P
Okay,
thank
you.
Lorraine
foreign.
AS
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
taking
my
my
call
I,
do
not
support
this
and
actually
clearly
from
their
own.
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
Matt
sense
and
then
I'm
at
19,
Montrose
Street,
based
on
their
own
renderings.
You
could
see
one
one
part
that
has
not
been
raised
is:
if
there
is
an
emergency,
how
do
you
even
access
the
house?
How
do
public,
the
fire
department
police
department?
AM
I
am
here
to
my
address,
is
85
Moreland,
Street
and
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
the
Roxbury
path
forward,
neighborhood
association,
and
we
support
the
butters
who
attended
the
abutters
meeting
held
by
the
city,
and
we
always
anyone
can
look
at
it
and
see
that
there
is
a
current
cut
there
already.
But
the
issue
is
that
the
curb
cut
was
not
created
by
a
process
like
this.
AM
The
current
cut
was
just
put
in
and
at
this
point
attempting
to
put
two
cards
in
the
front
yard
one
card
that
would
be
all
the
way
over
to
the
side,
because
there
are
no
setbacks
between
this
property
and
the
property
next
door.
There's
Fireball
in
its
legs
and
so
we'd
also
like
to
just
remind
the
board
that
the
property
is
part
of
the
Moreland
State
historic
district
and
it's
located
in
the
neighborhood
design,
overlay
district
and
these
front
yards
welcoming
front
porches.
AM
These
are
sort
of
the
the
pudding
stone
wall
up,
but
these
are
all
things
that
you
know
really
represent
this
district,
and
so
article
50
is
supposed
to
front
yard
parking.
The
Roxbury
strategic
master
plan
is
found
there
to
reinforce
the
Integrity
of
historic
buildings
and
places
in
Roxbury
via
Butters
have
clearly
shown
that
they
are
against
a
change
being
made
at
this
location.
Btd
has
recommended
denial
to
the
board,
as
has
the
Boston
planning,
so
we
would
just
ask
that
the
board
followed.
AM
The
zoning
quote
that
you
know
requires
that
applicants
demonstrate
that
there's
a
specific
shape
or
topography
that
affects
this
property
specifically
or
they
have
to
show
that
there's
a
substantial
hardship,
but
no
hardship
has
been
shown
in
this
case,
and
we
would
just
ask
that
the
board
follows.
Thank
you.
AT
Nicole,
yes,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
yes,
okay,
hi,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
You
know
in
respect
to
you
know:
Mr
Feast,
I've
known
him
for
years.
You
know,
God
bless
the
board,
but
I
live
around
the
corner
and
I
have
yet
to
see
any
pictures
that
shows
what
this
actual
project
that
that
shows
you
the
board
and
anyone
on
this
call.
What
the
front
of
the
house
actually
looks
like
at
the
moment,
I've
been
seeing.
AT
Pictures
of
you
know
houses
throughout
the
neighborhood,
and
it
is
nowhere
and
a
resemblance
of
what
this
actual
project
would
look
like.
So.
M
AT
I
would
like
to
say
that
I'm
totally
against
this
project
having
two
cars
in
front
of
this
house,
there
is
not
a
house
in
this
whole
neighborhood
and
I'm
new
to
Roxbury,
but
I
have
driven
all
over
the
place.
There
is
not
one
house
in
this
neighborhood
that
has
any
resemblance
of
having
two
cars
right
in
front
of
the
house.
C
M
AU
AU
Is
60
Winthrop
Street
right
now,
I
am
huddled
with
neighbors
who
are
having
a
problem
getting
on
earlier.
So
I
would
like
to
Forfeit
my
my
time
right
now,
I'm
going
to
give
the
a
butter
a
chance
to
speak.
Please
her
name
is
Nadine
Riggs.
She
is
the
one
that
is
abutting.
The
property
I
will
introduce
Nadine
right
now,
she'll
go
ahead
and
speak.
Please
hi.
AV
Madam
and
the
rest
of
the
board,
I
am
the
director
butter.
My
house
is
43,
Winter,
Street
and
I
share
a
firewall
with
45.
I
just
want
to
begin
first
and
I'm.
I
am
totally
opposed
to
this
project
100.
But
to
make
comments
about
what
Mr
feaster
said:
I've
lived
in
my
home
for
13
years
and
when
I
moved
here,
My
Neighbor
Next
Door
was
alive
and
she
had
like
a
1980
station
wagon,
one
of
those
huge
big
ones,
but.
AV
AV
Also
someone
made
a
statement
that
they're
going
to
park
two
small
cars
in
the
front
yard.
Currently
one
only
drives
a
Range
Rover.
The
other
only
drives
an
SUV.
Those
two
normal
sized
cars
would
not
fit
into.
AV
Street
is
eight
blocks
long.
It
begins
on
the
other
side
of
Liverpool
Avenue
and
runs
straight
out
to
Warren
Street.
There
are
over
74
residences
on
weather
Street
as
a
combination
of
single
family
homes,
multi-family
homes
and
apartment
buildings.
No
one
is
parking
their
car
in
the
front
yard.
No
one.
P
I'm
going
to
keep
going,
there's
three
additional
gray
scans.
Let's.
P
Okay,
Jeff
Williams.
AW
G
On
the
corner
of
Whiting
and
Winthrop
Street
and
I,
just
I
am
opposed
to
this
project.
AW
The
street
there
are.
G
Virtually
no
homes
near
this
house
without
their
own
parking
on
their
own
property,
and
so
there's
no
need
to
add
additional
parking
spaces
it.
It's
completely
straightforward
to
park
directly
in
front
of
this
house,
there's
space
there
all
the
time,
because
there's
a
church
next
door,
which
is
doesn't
use,
they
have
their
own
parking
lot.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
important
home
late
is
not
a
problem.
Thank
you.
Well,.
I
C
AQ
And
I've
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
what
Miss
Marini
still
has
his
hand
on
me
wants
to
respond.
I
just
wanted
to
I
would
have
heard
several
things.
I
just
would
ask
for
the
board
to.
There
was
a
reference.
That's
where
47
signatures
of
in
opposition
I'd
like
to
have
that
to
become
part
of
the
record.
If
that
that
was.
AQ
The
other
things
are
a
statement
made
about
what
types
of
cars
my
my
clients,
own
Etc
I,
just
submit
to
the
board
that
that
that
information
is
just
not
accurate
and
the
last
piece
that
I
mentioned
or
I
did
not
mention.
But
there
is
a
residential
parking
restrictions
on
the
street
as
I
understand
it.
AQ
So
that
was
one
of
the
other
reasons
why
there
was
a
requests
to
have
it,
but
when
the
elderly,
persons
who
in
the
in
the
applicant's
family
would
come
to
visit,
they
would
be
able
to
park
there.
So
those
were
some
of
the
reasons
that
were
mentioned
and
I
would
just
simply
ask
the
board
to
take
those
into
consideration.
AQ
As
I
mentioned,
this
isn't
the
creating
of
a
new
like
this
one,
just
to
recognized
since
prior
to
1984
as
the
records
that
I
presented
due
indicates,
and
if
there
are
any
looking
at
what
the
property
there
was
a
mentioned
raised
by
Miss
Compton
Maga
about
the
pictures
there
are.
Certainly
there
are.
We
have
submitted
pictures
which
show
the
property
as
it
existed
then,
as
well
as
when
the
applicants
purchased
it.
G
C
G
G
In
this
case,
we'd
be
removing
that
section
of
wall
of
Thoroughly
moved
and
this
this
there's
a
set
of
stairs
here.
That's
that's
shifted
back
into
the
minds
of
the
footprint
of
the
existing
building,
so
there
is
maneuverability
there's
a
comment
that
wasn't
put
over.
There
is
maneuverability
in
the
front
and
is.

AW
Yes,
Mr
Stonebridge
good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Attorney
John
fulgini
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
valdapina
who's.
The
developer
with
him
also
today
is
akan
sudoku,
who
is
the
architect
in
my
land?
Who
is
the
developer
representative?
This
proposal
was
originally
so.
This
is
7
30
for
a
Dudley.
The
zoning
in
this
neighborhood
is
neighborhood
shopping
and
the
lot
of
size
is
just
about
7
000
square
feet.
AW
This
proposal
was
originally
approved
by
the
bpda
in
June
of
17
as
a
five-story
mixed-use,
building
totaling,
approximately
26
357
square
feet,
comprised
of
ground
to
a
ground
floor,
retail
space
and
three
of
which
would
be,
and
there
were
20
units
still
together,
three
of
which
were
designated
IDP
units.
Now
that
was
back
in
2017
at
a
time
when
people
were
primarily
using
13,
so
at
the
time
they
exceeded
at
15
percent,
they
went
through
the
construction
of
the
building.
AW
The
building
costs
just
succeeded,
as
we
all
know
their
banking
in
and
saying
that,
there's
going
to
be
a
huge
additional
Capital
contribution
or
the
funding
would
stop
and
on
January
23rd.
AW
Due
to
that
the
proponent
filed
and
noticed
the
project
change
at
the
bpda
to
add
a
sixth
law
comprised
of
five
rental
units
and
also
reduced
the
parking
from
12
to
5
and
added
25
bicycle
spaces,
the
as
I
stated
I
know,
Mr
Langham
brought
up
a
very
good
question
at
the
last
hearing
back
on
July
10th
regarding
the
affordability,
the
affordability
here
initially
as
I
stated,
was
15
at
a
time
when
everyone
is
doing
13.
AW
When
this
went
to
the
notice
of
project
change,
now,
keep
in
mind
the
buildings
already,
as
you
can
see
on,
the
screen
is
already
pretty
much
built.
The
bpda
and
the
developer
worked
out
it
that
they
would
give
20
of
the
change.
So
there
was
five
additional
units,
one
of
which
would
be
designated
affordable
as
a
20
ratio
and
that
notice
the
project
change
was
approved
by
the
bbta
on
August
13
2023,
and
now
we
come
before
the
board.
Seeking
your
support.
AW
AW
If
you
have
any
design
questions
I
believe
the
architect
is
on
to
answer
any
questions,
but
I
really
wanted
to
clear
up
the
affordability,
confusion
on
my
my
part
more
than
anybody
else's,
because
Mr
langa
brought
up
a
very
good
question
at
the
last
here.
Thank.
U
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
My
name
is
Quinn
balsich
I'm,
a
senior
project
manager,
the
bpda
I,
know
you
all
heard
this
at
the
the
last
meeting.
So
I'll
keep
it
brief.
This
project
did
come
to
us
or
notice
the
project
change
in
January
2023,
as
the
proponent
had
mentioned,
seeking
to
add
some
density
after
the
originally
approved
project
was
no
longer
viable.
They
went
through
our
art
of
leader
review,
with
a
public
meeting
held
on
February
8th
that
was
well
attended.
U
AX
Ashley
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
actually
going
to
the
mayor.
Office
of
Management
Services,
a
lot
of
Community
classes
within
BPA,
held
multiple
Community
meetings
to
address
this
project,
but
good
support
from
the
community
on
this
project.
Just
some
concerns
of
questions.
AX
P
P
U
C
Okay,
any
other
questions
from
the
board
hearing
nun
man
with
motion.
AI
D
C
C
AY
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adams
and
morency
business
address
of
168,
8th
Street
first
floor
South
Boston
joining
me
today
is
the
architect
Donnie
Garrity,
from
O'sullivan
Architects.
By
way
of
background,
we
deferred
this
case
due
to
a
bpda
recommendation
of
reducing
law
coverage
and
having
made
that
additional
change
since
then
also
there
is
a
mention
about
a
drive
iob
too
narrow,
but
that
that
was
a
pre-existing.
It
could
not
be
altered.
AY
The
reason
why
I'm
mentioning
this
at
the
beginning
of
our
presentation
is
that,
since
our
revised
plans
do
reflect
the
recommendations
of
the
bpda,
those
plans
that
are
the
ones
that
you're
seeing
in
front
of
the
board
today,
but
unfortunately
Mr
Hampton
upon
my
completion
of
my
presentation,
I'm
sure
he
can
testify
that
the
reviewer
from
the
bpda
has
been
on
vacation
and
was
unable
to
review
so
they
weren't
able
to
provide
a
second
recommendation
based
upon
the
revised
drawings.
So
I
just
wanted
to.
AY
The
three
units
will
contain
three
Beds,
which
will
range
from
approximately
1181
square
feet
to
671
square
feet
unit,
one
located
on
the
first
in
part
of
the
second
floor
unit,
two
located
on
third
floor
in
unit
3,
located
on
the
fourth
floor,
which,
as
you
can
see,
has
been
recessed
back
to
appear
less
visible
from
the
street.
We
have
the
following
violations:
off-stream
loading
requirement,
as
we
are
proposing
three
spaces
at
eight
feet
wide
and
sixteen
feet
long.
AY
However,
we're
not
required
to
provide
parking
with
this
proposal,
but
we
understand
the
crisis
that
this
neighborhood
faces.
Day-To-Day
with
parking.
Four
area
ratio
violation
proposal
calls
for
a
2.08
and
a
2.0
is
what
is
compliant
in
this
sub-district
Building
height
40
feet
is
compliant.
This
proposal
calls
for
42
feet,
which
is
consistent
with
some
of
the
recent
approvals
in
the
neighborhood.
Further
42
feet
is
the
lowest
The.
Proposal
could
and
still
mean
building
code
for
minimum
clear
ceiling,
Heights
needed
in
this
dwelling.
AY
The
issue
is
the
existing
is
the
existing
building
is
two
feet
above
the
sidewalk
and
therefore
created
over
the
height
relief
requested.
If
this
was
new
construction,
we
possibly
could
meet
the
40
feet,
but
since
in
an
addition-
and
we
are
married
to
the
existing
floor
to
floor
Heights
and
modest
above
the
sidewalk
High
condition,
hence
the
reason
for
the
violation
also
again
to
to
worth
noting,
as
you
can
see,
that
top
floor
has
also
been
pulled
back
along
Vincent
Street
to
be
again
less
visible
from
the
street.
We
have
a
side
yard
violation.
AY
This
is
pre-existing.
The
existing
structure,
as
you
can
see,
has
a
zero
foot.
Setback
on
the
left
hand
side,
but
we
are
compliant
on
the
right
hand,
side,
rare
yard,
The
Proposal
calls
for
a
10-foot
setback
and
due
to
the
shallow
non-exception
we
would
have
to
provide
15
feet
would
would
be
compliant
further.
That
existing
condition,
as
you
can
see,
is,
is
a
structure
that
sets
exactly
on
the
property
line.
AY
That
is
a
garage
that
structure
is
being
demolished
with
this
new
proposal
and
again
we're
going
to
be
providing
a
10-foot
setback
in
the
rear
in
the
last
violation
that
we
have
was
an
extension
into
the
rear,
as
you
can
see
from
the
addition
we're
providing
a
thousand
square
feet
or
more
with
that
addition.
So
we
do
have
another
violation
on
that
and
again,
the
lock
coverage
that
we
have
here
based
upon
the
bpa's
recommendation
for
the
footprint
of
the
building,
is
approximately
60
percent
lot
coverage
at
this
point
in
time.
C
G
Thank
you,
madam
chairman.
This
is
the
board
Jeff
Hampton
bpda.
It
is
true
that
one
of
our
appointments
is
on
vacation.
It's
also
true
that,
after
the.
G
Upload
or
approve
those
plans
or
stamp
them
so
that
we
could
use
them
until
the
day
before
we
had
sent
the
recommendations
over
to
this
area
installed
more
of
a
timing
issue
more
than
anything.
I
will
acknowledge,
however,
that
the
appellant
has
changed
their
plans
based
on
our
previous
recommendations.

you.

hosted
in
a
Butters
meeting
for
34th
Benton

on
May
15
2023.,
two
of
others
attended.
The
meeting
appreciation
was
showing
for
the
buildings
parking
and
for
its
design,
but
concerns
were
raised
about
the
height
the
proponent,
listened
to
feedback
and
made
some
changes
before
they
presented
the
project
to
the
anti-sport
civic
association.
They
reduced
the
height
and
created
a
setback.

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
foreign
Caitlin
Stapleton
from
Council
Murphy's
office,
the
applicant
completed
a
thorough
Community
process
and
has
worked
with
any
direct
Butters
to
resolve
any
issues.
Because
of
this,
the
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.
Good.
W
W
AD
Would
like
to
go
and
record
and
support
based
on
a
thorough,
Community
process.
We
understand
that
there
was
a
mix
of
both
support
and
concerns
from
the
Andrew
Square
civic
association
and
councilor
Flynn
respectfully
requests
the
proponent
to
work
closely
with
neighbors
and
a
Civic
group
on
any
quality
of
life
issues
during
the
construction
phase.
Thank
you
thank.
AE
You
and
chairman
of
the
board
Paul
Sullivan
city
council
at
large
Michael
Flaherty,
acknowledging
the
communal
life
of
the
women's
drafting
article
68.
The
council
does
feel
that
there
are
projects
that
do
have
Merit
this,
this
being
one
of
them.
The
counselor
would
also
like
to
commend
the
report
for
listening
to
the
community,
making
changes
and
just
subsequently
the
conceptual
record
and
support.
G
Will
now
move
on
to
case
boa
one
two,
eight
five,
two
one
eight,
because
the
address
of
904
Bar
Street
is
the
applicant
and
or
their
representative
president.
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
good
afternoon
Madam
chair,
remember,
support
Richard,
Linds,
245,
Summer
Street.
G
Jump
right
down
to
the
neighborhood
context,
which
is
probably
slide
three,
would
be
a
good
place
to
start
just
to
give
an
idea.
So
this
is
located
in
the
we
consider
the
Paris
flat
section
against
Boston,
as
you
can
see
the
context
of
this
neighbor.
These
are
relatively
shallow
lots
and
it
is
a
3F
2000
District.
Most
of
the
buildings
here
are
three
stories
with
the
exposed
Foundation
there
are
a
number
of
two-story
buildings
as
well.
Our
proposal
would
be
for
a
four
unit
four-story
building.
G
Actually
helps
bring
the
building
the
Omaha
building
down.
We
probably
can
jump
right
to
the
rendering,
which
is
slide,
nine,
which
would
show
the
building
in
context
the
proposed
building
and
context
with
the
surrounding
neighborhoods.
As
you
can
see
here,
we
do
propose
that
fourth
level
setback
a
bit
but
try
to
capture
the
three-story
Rhythm
for
the
main
portion
of
the
building
at
the
lower
level.
G
Are
all
two-bedroom
the
upper
level
units
units
three
and
four
are
high
level
units,
so
you
would
enter
on
the
third
floor
with
internal
stairwell
to
the
to
the
upper
level.
We
do
propose
a
roof
deck
that
will
be
accessed
by
hatch,
so
we're
also
requesting
building
code
relief.
With
respect
to
the
Head
house.
We
know
that's
an
important
issue
that.
G
Plan
to
address
some
comments
or
concerns
from
our
products
to
the
left,
and
that
was
to
eliminate
one
of
the
roof
decks.
We
don't
we're
only
showing
one
roof
deck
of
the
accessible
to
units
for,
and
we
could
probably
jump
out
of
the
floor
plans
at
slide
11
that
can
show
the
layout
of
the
building
itself.
G
So
you
can
see
here
we
propose
no
living
space
in
the
basement,
the
first
level
at
grade
for
unit
one
second
floor
plan
is
a
flat
style
unit
very
similar
to
unit
one
and
a
third
and
fourth
floor
plan
have
back
to
back
by
leveling
units
for
units
three
and
four
showing
the
upper
level
roof
deck
for
unit
4.
Only
and
again,
in
direct
response
to
the
comments
that
we
did
here
through
the
community
process,
we
can
jump
down
to
the
next
slide.
I
believe
we
do
have
the
elevations
as
well.
G
So
typically,
we
do
hear
comments
about
Heights
of
the
building
and
even
though
we
do
recognize
that
this
is
pretty
much
a
three-story
where
the
present
is
pretty
much
three
stories,
the
neighborhood.
Those
three
stories
are
depression
or
triple
Deckers
that
do
have
that
exposed
Foundation
condition,
so
they
do
sit
up
at
around
34
to
35
feet.
The.
G
35
feet
I
think
Joy
Street
design
did
a
good
job
of
trying
to
capture
some
of
that
height
or
respect
some
of
that
height
in
that
immediate
vicinity.
So
the
height
of
our
building
to
the
roof
Rafters
is
37.5
feet
which
is
usually
or
just
lower
than
the
usual
height
for
a
four-story
building,
which
we
typically
see
at
41
to
42
feet
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
roof
deck
with
the
hatch
access
has
no
proposed
head
house
access.
I
would
expect
to
the
relief
we
do
require
variance
from
abuse.
This
is
being
proposed.
G
A
multi-family
dwelling-
this
is
a
three-f
district
which
does
permit
only
up
to
three
units.
Our
lot
size
is
sufficient.
We
do
have
21
125
square
feet,
which
is
consistent
pretty
much
with
the
Lots
on
Laura
Street.
Most
of
those
are
shallow
Rock
conditions.
We
do
have
minimum.
We
do
meet
the
minimum
lot
width
and
lot
Frontage
as
well
with.
G
Yards
we
do
set
our
building
back
on
the
right
side
at
five
feet
that
does
provide
for
sufficient
access
from
the
rear
of
the
building
to
the
front.
We
could
actually
move
that
to
three
feet.
However,
we
did
hear
Commons
and
concerns
when
they
apply
it
to
the
right
to
try
to
increase
that
setback
as
much
as
possible
and
again.
G
With
the
roof
deck
being
close
to
the
front
of
the
building
which
we've
eliminated,
so
we
do
set
our
building
into
the
zero
lot
line.
On
the
left
side,
however,
we
do
have
five
foot
setback
on
the
right
aggregate.
The
requirement
would
be
a
size.
That's
set
back
total
two
and
a
half
to
the
each
side.
However,
we
have
shipped
to
the
building
again
to
address
those
concerned
by
the
direct
dividers.
The
buildings
to
our
left
actually
has
its
own
setback
of
three
features.
G
G
Is
an
existing
curb
cut
on
the
site?
Presently,
this
site
is
a
separately
assessed
lot
that
does
not
have
any
use
associated
with
it
for
off-sheet
parking.
However,
there
is
an
existing
curb
cut
that
we
will
close
in
connection
with
this
proposed
project,
so
we
would
be
adding
essentially
one
and
a
half
parking
spaces
for
Public
Access
along
the
street.
I
would
also
point
out.
This
site
is
located
within
500
yards
to
the
entrance
of
the
MBTA
Blue
Line
Airport.
D
G
Well,
and
this
would
offer
an
opportunity-
a
little
bit
more
of
an
affordable
opportunity
for
Carlos
households
that
they
choose
to
have
that
for
this
particular
portion
of
the
neighborhood
I.
AD
G
Sure
it's
two
and
a
half
feet.
T
G
And
I
would
play,
we
do
have
five
foot
set
back
on
the
right,
so
I
mean
we
could
the
spider
browser.
We
could
conceivably
meet
the
2.5
foot
setback.
We
would
probably
limited
on
the
openings
for
the
windows,
so
we
do
have
openings
on
the
right.
We
do
the
five
foot
step
back,
but
the
left
side
I
would
have
no
windows,
as
you
can
see
in
the
elevation
here.
G
Is
correct
and.

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I
am
a
real
trisco
171
Brook
Street
I
am
seeking
a
relief
on
a
rear
yard,
a
sufficient
violation
and
roof
structure
restrictions
I.
The
first
slide
here
shows
the
context
of
what
I'm
trying
to
do
here:
I'm,
not
building
a
structure

Madam

this
was

I
believe
is
still
currently
before
the
board
is
a
five
unit,
five-story
six
unit
building.
We
have.

Based
upon
the
comments
that
we
did
here
through,
the
community
process
been
reduced
to
a
four-story
building
five

I,
don't
believe
the
bpda
has
the
most
up-to-date
set
of
plans
for
its
recommendation,
but
I
do
believe.
We
should
have
that
proper
plans
before
the
board
before
we
proceed,
because
we
do
believe
that
that
is
beneficial.

Yes,
thank

Mr
Sternberg
good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Attorney
General,
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
I'm
joined
today
by
James
Baker
of
500
tablet,
LLC
and
Mike
delafe
from
Roadie
architecture
that
we
have
background.
The
applicant
submitted
a
building
permit
application
with
ISD
on
May
21st
2019
for
the
construction
of
a
mixed-use
building,
approximately
49
500
square
feet
of
development,
with
a
total
of
40
residential
units
to
ground
floor
retail
spaces
and
23
off
street
parking
spaces.
AW
It
went
through
a
full
attic
lady
process
and
was
approved
by
the
vpa
board
on
November
15
2008
and
was
approved
by
this
board
on
July
30th
2019..
At
the
time
of
disapproval,
the
idb
IDP
contribution
was
13
or
5
units
the
applicant
filed
to
notice
the
project
change
with
the
bpda
April
14
2022.
The
requested
change
was
to
change
the
occupancy
of
the
building
from
40
to
42
residential
units.
The
additional
units
were
completed
without
changing
the
dimension
of
the
building.
It
was
accomplished
by
reconfiguring
the
inside
of
the
building.
AW
AW
This
is
an
affordability
rate
of
over
40
percent
and
was
done
with
the
assistance
of
mhfa
financing,
which
also
makes
the
IDP
requirement
exempt
in
addition
to
the
increased
IDP.
The
original
proposal
caused
many
pedestrian
improvements
to
the
public
domain.
Specifically,
the
proposed
project
would
result
in
new
pedestrian
and
Retail
activity
along
tablet,
Ave
and
improvements
to
pedestrians
realm,
including
new
trees,
new
side
blocks
and
increased
open
space.
We
do
have
the
architect
on
it's
essentially
the
same
project
that
was
approved
previous,
as
these
two
changes
are
of
the
units
are
interior
to
the
building.
E
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I
can't
understand
from
counselor
Murphy's
office,
the
applicant
completed
at
Federal
Community
process
and
has
support
from
the
Butters
and
because
of
this,
the
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.

to
defer
to
the
the
Judgment
of
this

at
this
time
previously,
this
went
through
an
extensive
BPA
process
and
they
circled
back

in

However.
I
can
say
that
when
we
took
this
through
this

it
received
good
Community
Support,
especially
in
regards
to
changes
in
the
increase
to
its
IDP
units,

it
was
approved,

J
Yes,
president,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
George
marante
I'm,
an
attorney
with
business
address,
350
West
Broadway
in
South,
Boston
Madam
chair
our
members
of
the
board.
My
client
in
this
matter
is
Right.
Donovan
this
or
new
or
unit
building,
was
approved
by
the
board
in
April
of
2019..
J
It
is
not
prevent
constructing.
Yet
it
was
a
recovering.
However,
as
my
client
Was
preparing
to
prepare
for
construction
came
to
life
that
the
means
of
accessing
what
was
originally
proposed
as
a
rear
garage
for
a
motor
vehicle
parking
is
not
in
fact
accessible
making
parking
in
the
rear
of
building
Parts.
By
wave
explanation,
the
the
building
would
have
achieved
access
to
the
garage
in
the
rear
by
means
an
easement
through
the
garage
of
a
dividing
property.
J
511
East
5th
Street
is
an
lsh8
building,
which
is
immediately
to
the
left
of
and
to
the
rear
of
509
East
5th
Street,
the
owner
of
that
building,
which
is
a
multi-family
and
granted
by
client
in
Eastland
to
enter
my
way.
I
Street
out
to
the
side
street
Off
5th
Street
enter
the
site
by
way
of
I
Street.
Go
through
the
building's
garage
exit,
the
building's
garage
into
the
rear
of
this
garage.
The
short
version
is
that
it
was
discovered
that
going
to
a
grade
change,
that's
not
going
to
be
possible.
J
It
would
require
modifications
to
the
grade
within
the
existing
building
Garage
in
the
Rio,
which
can't
be
done.
It's
not
simply
a
matter
of
changing
my
clients,
the
grade
in
the
rear,
my
clients,
property,
the
forest
bases
that
were
originally
approved
by
the
board
in
2019
were
quite
small.
It
didn't
fit
well
in
the
rear,
and
this
is
important
because
the
project
already
received
the
variance
for
institution
on
free
parking.
It
was
probably
more
like
two
bases
in
terms
of
what
would
actually
work
under
a
health
Bill
conditions.
J
My
client
went
back
to
ISD
by
to
Simply
elimination
of
the
rare
garage
parking
agent
to
stories
for
the
four
units,
as
well
as
a
bike
room.
The
ISD
issued
the
new
refused
the
letter,
citing
the
single
violation
of
Intel
institutional
free
parking
variance,
is
requested
today
that
I'll
pause
and
take
any
questions
that
members
may
have.

is
60
776

Currently,
there's

came
as
a
result
of
an
RFP
issued
by

other
things.
In

to
the
life
science

uses
in

Only

repaired,
Dry

you

of
this

AG
Thank
you
so,
as
John
had
said,
this
is
before
Dry
Dock.
It's
about
a
237,
000
square
foot
proposal.
AG
It's
eight
stories
of
life
science
levels
with
one
level
of
parking
and
supported
by
two
mechanical
levels.
The
site
improvements
that
you
see
on
this
plan
include
repairing
and
really
providing
a
little
just
improvements
to
the
tide.
Street
park.
That's
on
the
western
portion
of
the
dry
dog
here,
including
some
repairs
to
the
viewing
platform
which
is
Center
boat,
centered
on
the
dry
dock
there,
and
really
going
from
that
into
this
Plaza
space.
That's
on
the
western
side
of
our
building.
AG
Here
that's
raised
for
entering
into
our
ground
level
as
well
as
providing
seating,
plantings
and
blue
bikes.
The
building
is
main
entrance
is
centered
on
Dry
Dock
Ave
in
the
middle
of
the
building
at
the
plant
cells
here
and
the
ground
floor
has
really
been
designed
as
a
really
a
hub
for
Marine
Industrial
use
that
supports
the
dry
dock
through
BSR
Boston
chip,
repair
office,
space
classrooms
for
trade
workers,
as
well
as
a
lunch
counter
space
on
the
planned
left
portion
of
the
of
the
ground
floor
for
workers
in
the
area.
AG
The
entire
building
has
been
raised,
four
feet
off
of
grade
and
that's
really
in
efforts
to
create
resiliency.
All
critical
systems
within
the
building
are
raised,
at
least
a
foot
off
of
that,
many
of
which
have
been
located
on
the
roof
of
the
building,
and
the
project
is
currently
pursuing
lead
gold
and
will
be
mostly
electrified
down
to
freezing
temperatures
and
was
there
some
renderings
that
we
had
included
I'm
sorry
to
go
to
use
the
elevations
as
well
as
fun.
AG
AW
Should
be
some
elevation,
colored
elevations
for
the
tail
end
of
this
presentation.
AG
Okay,
is
that
all
the
way
down
at
the
bottom,
as
it
believes.
AG
I'm
happy
to
use
these
as
well.
The
so
Assad
has
built
of
a
playful
mix
of
metals,
utilizing
an
industrial,
aesthetic,
just
kind
of
really
drawing
from
the
inspiration
of
the
area
and
its
history,
and,
what's
not
shown
in
these
elevations
that
this
that's
visible
in
the
renderings,
is
we've
exposed
cross
bracing,
the
behind
the
glass
at
the
building's
main
entry,
as
well
as
the
west
side
of
the
buildings
front,
as
well
to
to
embrace
that
idea
on
the
north
side
of
the
building.
AG
There's
two
balconies
one
on
the
west
side
and
one
on
the
east
side
that
are
located
on
each
of
the
tenant
levels
again
just
reinforcing
that
concept
of
this
building's
relationship
to
the
dry
dock
and
having
views
of
all
the
great
work
that
goes
on
there
and
with
that
I'll
hand
it
over
for
any
comments.
AW
Anyway,
I'll
go
ahead:
I'm,
sorry,
if
we
could
Jessica
Thomas
Bruce
Daniel
he's
the
CFO
of
Boston
chip.
Repair
I
think
he
believes
he's
on
this
call
yeah.
What's.
M
G
Guys
it's
Bruce
zanol
I'm,
the
CFO
of
Boston
Ship
Repair,
now
for
for
over
14
years,
I've
been
at
the
shipyard
and
and
I
can
attest
as
the
challenges
running
a
shipyard
in
the
Northeast
just
continue
to
to
grow
like
John
mentioned
we're
the
only
unionized
Shipyard
that
compete
in
our
large
vessel
repair
market.
So
our
biggest
two
challenges
are
our
Labor,
being
the
only
Union
yard
and
then
our
facilities,
our
facility
is
over
100
years
old
and
many
of
the
critical
components
and
our
original
the
workshops
are
original.
G
Our
Union
Workforce
is
highly
skilled
and
specialized
working
on
ships,
but
they're
aging
out
they're
just
getting
older.
So
we
desperately
need
to
to
create
a
a
consistent
pipeline
of
new
workers
to
transfer
that
knowledge
and
that's
our
goal
and
that's
the
goal
that
this
Project's
supporting
it's
to
create
generational,
Union,
Shipyard
jobs,
and
that
takes
a
significant
investment
which
didn't
exist
prior
to
our
current
ownership
in
a
long-term
Outlook.
So
a
little
back
on
the
shipyard,
we
primarily
we
work
on
Navy
support
vessels.
G
So
these
are
the
non-combatant
vessels
that
support
the
combat
vessels.
So
these
vessels
transport
fuel
tanks
ammunitions
soldiers
all
over
the
world
wherever
they're
needed,
so
we're
an
integral
part
of
the
National
Security
and
Readiness
of
the
Navy.
We
only
work
on
big
log
ships.
We
only
have
one
Dry
Dock,
and
these
are
ships
that
are
over
750
feet,
Inland,
so
they're
enormous
and
there's
only
we're
one
of
only
five
docks
on
the
whole
east
of
Gulf
Coast
that
can
work
on
these
large
shipyards.
G
The
difficulty
is
we're
the
only
Union
yard,
all
the
competition
that
we
have
are
mainly
Southern
yards
and
they're
all
non-union,
so
we
don't
compete
against
any
local
or
Union
facilities,
so
this
puts
out
as
an
enormous
disadvantage
change
of
disadvantage
because
we
believe
in
paying
our
people
Fair
wages
and
good
benefits.
Unlike
the
non-union
competition,
we
have
to
go
against
so
these
other
facilities.
These
other
shipyards
have
greater
facilities,
better
weather
and
cheaper
workforces.
So
that's
why
this
project
is
so
critical
to
us.
G
Without
it,
we
wouldn't
have
this
investment
in
Investments
and
modernize
our
facility,
which
is
going
to
result
in
more
capabilities
for
us.
That
means
more
stuff
that
Boston
Ship
Repair
can
do
in-house
and
grow
our
union
jobs.
Our
Union
is
in
full
support
of
this
project.
G
Actually,
in
all
the
years
I've
been
at
the
shipyard,
I,
don't
think
I've
ever
seen
the
Union
in
ownership
more
on
lock,
set
lockstep
and
United
on
on
an
issue
like
this,
which
is
ultimately
collectively
growing
our
jobs.
So
our
unions
consist
of
welders,
machinists
electricians,
riggers
carpenters
and
more
than
half
of
our
Union
are
men
and
women
of
color,
and
we
expect
our
job
growth
to
continue
with
that
same
demographic.
G
G
The
goal
of
this
Pro
this
program
is
to
focus
on
distressed
areas
in
communities
of
color.
So
what
we've
learned
in
this
program
is
that
Boston
ship
repairs,
job
creation
plan
accomplishes
both
of
those
goals
and
we're
the
only
company
in
Boston
positioned
to
do
that
today.
So
it's
critical
to
have
our
local
workers
have
the
skill
and
knowledge
to
fix
our
warships,
the
skills
diminishing
right
now.
G
The
Navy
recognizes
that
and
that's
why
they
created
this
Talent
pipeline
program
and
they've
asked
employers
to
do
their
part
in
growing
this
industrial
Workforce
base
and
this
project,
and
this
investment
does
just
that.
It
allows
Boston
ship
report
pair
to
do
that.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
our
Shipyard.
H
L
AW
Yeah
so
I
can
answer
the
second
question:
Mr
Lanham
this
is
JMA,
is
the
developer
on
this
proposal.
Okay,.
AG
AW
It's
a
union,
a
union
development,
it's
a
partnership
with
related
veal,
a
joint
venture.
So
this
is
a
union
build
and
I
think
when
we
get
on
sooner
you're
going
to
hear
there'll
be
some
calls
that
will
call
in
that
will
address
your
first
question
much
better
than
I.
Could
that
will
address
getting
people
to
the
getting
people
to
the
core,
because
I
think
that
is
it's
kind
of
ironic
that
you
brought
that
out,
because
that's
a
really
important
piece
of
this
development
so
I'm
glad
you
asked
that
question.
AW
Yeah
so
I
mean
outside
of
what
Bruce
just
stated
with
the
Boston
Ship
Repair
and
helping
those
people
keep
their
jobs.
We're
providing
many.
The
building
itself
contains
space
for
the
use
by
three
non-profits
English
for
new
bostonians
save
the
hybrid
save
the
bay
in
the
Ron
Burton
training,
Village
BSI.
We
just
both
were
partner
with
Madison
Park
school
to
provide
job
opportunities,
as
well
as
internships
and
mentorships.
AW
As
part
of
this
program,
BSI
apartment,
the
U.S
Navy
pipeline
jobs
program,
the
dry
dock
will
we're
doing
elevated
Duty
viewing
stand
so
that
people
can
on
their
lunch,
I'll,
go
and
see
how
these
buildings
are
built
and
how
they're
repaired
they
have
like
a
a
nice
place
and
a
green
spot
space
where
they
can
do
that.
The
approval,
pedestrian
improvements,
public
realm
improvements,
sidewalks
Landscaping,
Street
lighting
and
when
we
get
into
over
a
million.
You
asked
the
the
question
about
linkage.
AW
One
more
thing
I
just
want
to
say
this
will
create
a
shuttle
bus
from
Nubian
Square
to
the
ski
foot,
great,
improving
access
from
for
the
residents
of
Roxbury
to
get
to
the
seaport
and
over
one
million
in
housing.
Linkage
and
over
200
000
in
Job
Link
is
truly
part
of
this
project,
so
hopefully
that
answers
your
question.
Thank.

BF
Sorry,
Hi
Kathy,
Lafferty,
South,
Boston,
Community,
resident
and
executive
director
of
the
South
Boston
neighborhoods
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
minute
to
speak
about
our
support
for
this
project.
I
know
Mr,
Cronin
and
his
partners
are
responsible.
Business
owners
have
been
generous
and
engaged
in
our
community.
BF
There
have
been
Community
Partners
for
a
long
time
within
the
nonprofit
sector
of
South
Boston
they
hire
from
within
the
community.
They
pay
well
and
they're
good
to
their
employees.
But
as
far
as
the
project
is
concerned,
we
also
think
that
you
know
maintaining
the
Ship
Repair
business,
offering
life
sciences
and
research
space
and
the
training
center
all
provide
great
Community
benefits
to
our
residents.
They
create
lifelong
employment
opportunities
as
well
beyond
that.
BF
T
AW
That's
a
good
question:
I
think
Michael
kanibe
who's,
the
CEO
of
Cronin
is
on
this
call
and
he
could
probably
speak
to
that.
You
know
better
and
I
believe
he
is
a
panelist.
Thank.
H
You,
madam
chair
and
board
members,
my
ubco
for
current
the
whole
thrust
floor
of
this
building
will
be
for
Boston
should
prepare
purposes,
so
the
entire
broaden
school
will
be
for
them
and
then
the
rest
of
the
building
will
be
life
science
and
don't
have
a
client.
H
Yet
for
that
but
and
I
didn't
see,
anything
else
goes
to
this,
that
this
was
first
put
out
by
the
vtea
to
help
resurrect
Boston
should
be
care,
so
the
main
function
of
what's
happening
and
one
of
the
main
functions
is
support
for
Boston
should
repair.
From
that
first
floor,
space.
M
D
C
E
C
K
S
BG
L
T
Madam
chair,
it
seems
like
we
have
like
a
forum.
We
talked
about
putting
ourselves
an
agenda
in
terms
of
cases.
Is
that
happening
now
or
something
yeah?
Okay,
that
is
great.
Okay,.
T
Well,
I
just
thought
that
it
would
be
important
to
set
a
maximum
in
terms
of
cases
that
are
in
front
of
me
and
then
just
in
terms
of
comparison
with
what
we
saw
today
versus
the
last
Tuesday
hearing,
if
we
can
also
set
potentially
a
maximum,
if
possible,
on
the
article,
80,
small
and
large
project
reviews.
So,
for
example,
today
we
saw
three
you
know
is
that
is
that
possible
to
find
a
way
to
not
overextend
ourselves
in
terms
of
the
hearing
time.
K
K
And
the
number
of
article
80s
were
that
were
approved
but
I
think
all
of
them.
So
we
are
consistently
doing
30
pieces
per.
AK
T
I
think
it's
also
the
complexity
of
the
cases
so
perfect.
We
had
more
complex
kind
of
hearings.
You
know
this
session
before.
Is
it
possible
to
so
there's
two
things:
is
it
possible
to
say
the
majority
has
been
that
we've
been
going
over
two
o'clock,
let's
say
so.
If
today
is
an
anomaly,
can
we
set
those
cases
to
25,
potentially
three
article
80
cases
that
you
know
that's
kind
of
a
proposal
and
and
what
that
would
you
know
what,
in
terms
of
deferrals,
there's
something
that
I
recall,
you
know:
how
can
we
how?
M
T
That
tends
to
happen
is
because
the
bpda
recommendations,
our
public
knowledge
and,
let's
say
potentially
it's
not
favorable
for
a
case.
There
can
be
kind
of
a
deferral,
so
I
think
what
we're
seeing
is
really
great
feedback
of
recommendations
from
bpda
and
the
public
is
having
access
to
it.
So
I
think
there's
a
couple
of
things
that
affect
the
time
and
amount
of
cases
that
we
hear
and
the
amount
of
deferral.
C
So
I'm
just
going
to
weigh
in
also
and
just
say
that
you
know
the
every
time
we
have
a
hearing
and
there
are
issues
they
are
brought
back
to
the
powers
that
be
and
I
and
I
think
they're.
They
are
constantly
trying
to.
This
is
an
iterative
process
and
obviously
things
need
to
be
posted,
and
you
know,
and
so
changes
probably
are
slower
than
we
would
like.
But
you
know
some
of
those
feedback
have
to
do
with,
for
example,
the
BPD
article
80
cases
we
had
last
time
and
how
can?
C
How
can
the
staff
you
know
adjust
the
agenda
if
that's,
if,
if
that's
going
to
be
the
case
and
or
yeah
or
limit
or
just-
and
you
know
understand
that
those
are
going
to
be
a
little
bit
more
complicated
but
as
folks
can
see
something
as
simple
as
a
curb
cut,
seems
to
take
longer
than
an
article
80
again
so
I
think
we
need
to
be
cognizant
that
we
ourselves
as
board
members
should
also
focus
on
you
know
the
questions
associated
with
violations
and
ourselves
try
to
help
move,
move
our
pieces
along
so
I.
C
Think
all
of
us
need
to
participate
in
this
and
help
you
know.
As
I
tried
today,
we
did
not
need
to
rehear
all
of
the
architectural
renderings,
because
this
was
you
know
the
last
BPD
case
before
this
one
was
already
approved
and
there
were
no
changes
right
so
well.
I
think
all
of
us
can
play
a
role
in
this.
That's
all
I
have
to
say.
O
T
And
you
can
ask
comments
on
it.
I
think
the
issues
are
Mr.
Valencia
is
for
someone
who's
reviewing
the
plans.
More
information
is
helpful,
but
but
I
think
I
think
what
would
help
is
knowing
if
we
just
have
25
cases
because
of
the
majority
has
always
been
30,
and
we
know
that
it's
running
more
than
after
two
o'clock,
because
I
think
this
board
is
very
conscientious
of
making
sure
everyone
is
heard
and
those
delays
is
to
acknowledge
those
voices.
K
C
I
just
want
to
make
sure
other
board
member
members
weigh
in
as
well
and
again
to
be
mindful
of
people's
time.
We
did
finish
early
and
so,
if
you
can
provide
your
feedback
and
then
I
think
Javier
can
can
take
it
back
and
I'm
guessing
yeah,
so
repeat
things
that
other
people
have
said
or
thought
so
I
think
this
is
good
for
them
to
hear
again
from
others.
G
No
there's
one
there's
a
lot
on
people's
points
up,
which
is
what
we
want
to
get
in
here.
Man,
you
have
them
waiting
for
you.
G
They
have
to
keep
that
so
you
know,
and
that-
and
you
know
if
we
can
stick
to
pretty
much
as
some
of
us
are
still
learning,
you
know
contrast
of
the
violations.
G
That's
you
know
again:
I
can't
give
back
and
picture
of
some
of
these
cases.
Take
5
10
12
years.
C
G
C
Just
what
I've
noticed
is
there
we
seem
to
where
we're
able
to
break
early
is
always
earlier
on,
and
then
we
end
up
being
stacked
later,
so
maybe
it's
putting
less
cases
at
the
1pm
also
and
kind
of
putting
a
couple
more
early
on,
so
that
we
don't
end
up
with
40
minute
breaks,
because,
yes,
there
were
several
deferrals
from
not
the
930s,
but
even
if
those
were
heard,
we
still
would
have
had
a
you
know.
We
still
would
have
had
to
stop
because
of
the
time.
I.
Don't
think
those
would
have.
C
You
know
led
us
to
whatever
time
it
was
11.,
so
I
think
also
I'm
just
moving
some
forward
might
help,
and
then
that
way
you
know
there
might
be
an
opportunity
to
end
earlier
if,
if
they're
a
little
bit
less
cases
at
the
end,
I.
L
Can
I
say
something
yes,
I
just
want
to
say
today
me
myself,
I
thought
the
day
went
pretty
well,
I
mean
I,
mean
I,
don't
know
how
many
cases
that
that
we
exactly
had,
but
I
was
very
impressed
that
everything
went
somewhat
smooth
today,
thanks
Alan.
BG
I
I
I
think
it
went
well,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
the
luck
of
the
draw.
It
was
the
deferrals.
It
was
some
easier
decisions,
not
as
many
people
weighing
in
from
the
community
like
it
was
the
perfect
storm
in
a
good
way
today.
But
my
question
would
be
them
two
weeks
ago,
it
was
at
30
as
well.
T
So
one
of
the
things
one
of
the
things
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
comment
on
the
thing
is
to
review
them
today.
The
other
is
the
amount
of
work,
a
plan
reviewer
and
used
to
review
those
actual
drawings.
So
when
I
advocate
for
25
cases,
I'm
advocating
for
anyone
that
is
Thoroughly
reviewing
those
plans,
so.
J
T
You
should
also
consider
that
and
I
think
we
were
extremely
lucky
that
we
had
the
deferrals
and
I
and
I
actually
had
previewed
to
who,
which
cases
were
deferral,
and
it
was
me
just
waving
those
to
not
actually
review
those
plans.
AA
It's
such
a
balancing
act
with
all
the
noticing
and
advertising
that
needs
to
happen,
but
I
also
think
handsy
has
a
lot
of
work
as
the
board
architect
without
a
legitimate
backup.
I
know
I've
backed
up
in
some
meetings,
but
it's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
the
one
reviewing,
and
you
know,
I
review
plans
too
before
meetings
just
to
understand
the
projects
better,
but
I
think
it's
just
such
a
balancing
act
and-
and
maybe
there
is
some
flexibility
with
the
agenda
and
not
being
so
prescriptive
on
the
times,
I'm,
not
sure.
C
Well,
I'll,
throw
this
out
to
Javier
is
I
mean.
Is
there
an
opportunity?
You
know
just
on
that
front
to
share
some
of
the
reviewing
so
that
it
does
not
fall
100
on
the
main
person.
C
K
Right
off
the
bound,
not
100
sure
I,
know,
there's
a
potential
second
architect
to
come
on
to
review
planes.
But
that's
a
reminder:
savings
has
to
be
approved
by
city
council.
T
Now
well,
I
I,
think
Sherry,
I,
think
Sherry's
I
think
it's
a
great
advice
because
right
now
currently,
when
when
there's
an
alternate
or
an
I'm,
not
on
it,
gets
reviewed
regardless
by
three
or
three
different
board
members,
so
just
to
break
that
into
half
15
cases,
it's
so
doable
and
so
much
easier,
not
easier,
but
less
time
consuming
so
I
I
would.
AA
P
For
the
plans,
examiners
to
kind
of
get
involved,
and
even
if
it's
like
a
plans
examiner
like
liaison
who
can
say
you
know
from
ISD
we
because
they
also
review
the
plan,
so
I
mean
I
I,
don't
think
anything
would
be
up
there.
That
would
be
inadequate.
If
we
have.
You
know,
plans,
examiners
so
again,
I
wonder
if
there's
a
way
for
us
to
utilize
them.
I
know
you
mentioned
the
city.
Councilors
would
need
to
approve
it,
but
we
do
have
plans.
Examiners
spending
a
lot
of
time
reviewing
these
plans
before
it.
X
M
P
Yeah
I,
just
so
I,
say
that
and
then
also
I,
don't
know
the
opportunity
to
on
Thursdays,
maybe
have
more
hearings.
We're
already.
You
know,
scheduling
these
things
and
I
know.
There's
only
three
board
members
I
mean
if
there's
an
opportunity
to
to
add
to
those
to
that
agenda
and
I
know
we
don't
want
to
be
on
super
long
on
Thursday
evenings,
but
I
think
that
would
also
probably
greatly
help
to
mitigate
the
flow.
P
As
Norm
mentioned,
like
a
lot
of
people
are
waiting
a
long
time,
and
then
we
have
cases
like
today
where
you
know
someone
they
wasn't
advertised
correctly
or
something
like
you
know.
Just
it
really
pushes
things
back,
but
I
think
adding
more
to
the
Thursday
agenda
or
you
know
creating
a
space
where
the
process
is
kind
of
fine-tuned
a
little
bit
so
that
we
could
see
more
on
Thursdays
when
I
helped
I
would.
P
T
G
T
I'm
sorry,
can
we
limit
them
in
the
beginning,
on
our
Tuesday
hearings
and
just
say
all
the
first
pieces
are
BPA
article
80
reviews
and
they
should
be
within
five.
Like
a
five
minute
presentation.
Can
we.
C
Feedback
I
would
make
sharing
cheering
and
listening
to
questions
from
the
board
on
article
80s
is
that's
when
you
play
an
important
role
I,
you
know
I
I've,
as
you
saw
in
the
past
couple
of
meetings,
they've
actually
been
pretty
expeditious
as
I
nudged
them.
To
be
brief,
however,
we,
knowing
that
these
are
article
80,
approved
projects
you
know
and
getting
the
packets
ahead
of
time
would
encourage
you
to
read
them,
so
we
don't
have
to
have
them
restate.
C
O
Mom
said
if
I
can
say
something
about
that,
I
agree
with
you:
I
read
all
the
documents
I
spent
my
weekend
or
Monday
doing
it
and
I
love
doing
this,
but
community
members
are
not
doing
this
and
I
really
believe
that
people
paying
attention
in
the
media.
They
need
to
know
what
are
the
benefits
and
if
a
project
is
providing
more
affordable,
housing
or
more
open
space
or
lower
idps,
I
think
that
is
important.
That
is
the
reason
I
ask
because
I
read
the
projects.
I.
O
C
Understood
I
wasn't
singling
you
out
by
the
way,
that's
just
a
general
comment,
but
you
know
that
that
piece
has
been
hashed
out
during
the
BPD
agency.
So
that's
that's.
Why
I
raise
it
and
maybe
if
it's
a
statement
you
want
to
make,
let's
make
statements
then
that
we
like
something
or
we
you
know
don't
like
something
in
a
productive
way
right.
So
that's
I'm,
just
trying
to
say
that
it
needs
to
come
from
all
angles
and
I'm
trying
to
do
what
I
can
and.
C
T
I
I
mean
I
would
love
to
have
a
action
item
after
this
meeting
like
if
we
can
come
into
a
consensus.
What
two
things
we
want
to
throw
back
for
a
city
council,
if
that's
needed
or
Javier,
can
let
us
know
what
what
would
be
the
next
steps
be.
K
K
T
K
T
AA
Also
advocate
for
changing
the
zoning,
so
fewer
items
number
for
us.
AO
AA
AM
O
C
Two
o'clock
witching
hour:
I
defer
to
you
guys
if
you
still
want
to
keep
going.
AA
No
true,
no
no
I'm,
I'm
serious,
but
I
also
acknowledge
what
an
undertaking
that
is,
but
I
do
think
that
is
sort
of
the
big
picture
here
is
there's
so
many
little
items
you
know
due
to
something
pre-existing
or
whatever
that
is
before
us
and
it
it
feels
sometimes
silly
when
it
creates
a
thing
that
I,
you
know.
My
background
has
been.
You
know:
48
communities
so
I
know
Boston
is
totally
different,
so
I'm
being
serious,
but
I
also
acknowledge
like
what
an
undertaking
it
would
be.
G
Somebody's
working
on
that,
but
so
there
are
going
to
be
and
I
can
speak
since
some
we,
the
Javier
of
the
zoning
commission
I,
know
there
is
substantial
changes
coming
forward
calendar
year
in
early
next
year.
As
far
as
a
completely
new
code.
That's
you
know
a
substantial
undertaking,
that's
going
to
take
literally
years
to
do
it.
W
G
Working
on
it
honestly,
it's
not
something
that
that
has
been
ignored
or
goes
unnoticed
with
the
variances
and
conditional
uses
that
you
all
have
to
approve,
because
it's
I've
been
at
the
agency
for
too
long
and
I've.
Seen
that
the
neighborhoods
have
been
the
zoning
was
protected,
not
proactives,
so
everybody
you
know
wanted
to
have
a
say
of
what
their
neighbor
would
stealing
and
people
are
very
nervous
about
giving
that
up,
but
trust
we
are
doing
zoning
work
now
that
it
should
be
well
to
your
point.
We're
trying
to
get
these
jeans.
T
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
Jeffrey,
if
you
can
tell
your
bpda
staff
that
they've
been
doing
a
really
great
job
with
the
summary
and
making
making
those
adjustments
and
also
references
to
plans
that
are
that,
are
you
know,
moving
forward
to
provide
us
with
that
context?
So
if
you
can
just
let
them
know
that
they've
been
they.
G
Know
this
I
think
Miss.
We
well
actually
sent
an
email
to
Amy
Chambers,
stating
that
Amy's
son
right
I
mean
to
take
basically
one
sheet
that
we
had
done
and
now
giving
you
more
of
a
narrative
on
proposed
projects,
planning
initiatives.
You
know
Boston
2020,
2030,
Boston
moons
in
East
Boston.
What
she
has
put
in
place
for
you
to
review
is
pretty
awesome.
I
think
it's
tremendous.
