Mr

E
F
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
john
palgini,
ten
forbes,
road
and
braintree
on
behalf
of
the
applicant,
we
are
seeking
a
one-year
extension.
The
current
hold.
G
E
For
this
extension,
this
relief
was
originally
issued
on
march
1st
2019
and
we
granted
the
first
extension
on
march
1st
2022.
However,
that
extension
was
unnecessary.
We're
told
the
original
relief
remains
valid
until
june
6th
of
2022.
C
I
don't
chair,
I
move
that
the
board
confirmed
that
all
relief
of
all
applicable
tolling
remains
valid
through
june
6,
2022
and
further
move
that
we
grant
an
additional
extension
through
june
6
2023,
which
of
course
would
include
any
and
all
applicable
total.
E
H
Let
me
check
to
see
if
that's
doug
and
jim
is
that
you
listed
as
doug
and
jim
sent
a
request
to
mute.
You.
J
E
C
A
E
C
I'm
chair
motion
to
confirm
that
all
of
the
leaf,
inclusive
of
all
applicable
towing,
is
valid
through
june
5th
2023..
C
E
E
2021,
however,
the
applicant
had
already
received
their
extension
of
the
relief
until
april
19th
of
2022
before
the
tolling
expired.
I
recommend
that
the
board
confirm
for
the
record
that
its
prior
extension
of
the
release
included
all
applicable
phone.
The
applicant
is
before
the
board
today
requesting
an
additional
extension.
I
recommend
the
board
grant
the
additional
extension
if
it
determines
that
it
is
appropriate
under
the
circumstances,
taking
into
account
that
it
would
only
be
the
applicant's
second
necessary
extension
rather
than
its
third.
A
N
C
C
A
C
Okay,
all
right,
so
the
motion
madam
chair
is
to
confirm
all
applicable
relief
remain
valid
with
all
applicable
tolling
through
april
19
2022
and
further
moved
to
grant
additional
relief.
This
applicant
through
april
19
2023,
which
of
course
will
include
any
and
all
applicable
towing.
M
A
Any
opposed
motion
carries
mr
lacasse.
Please
tell
the
applicant
that
since
the
case
was
settled
into
in
2017,
we
understand
because
of
covet
and
the
tolling,
etc,
etc.
But
please
make
sure
that
this
project
continues
to
proceed.
G
Yes,
ma'am
dennis
quilty
attorney
28
state
street,
representing
the
applicants.
This
is
a
recreational
cannabis
facility
which
the
board
granted
relief
and
granted
it's
subject
to
a
one-year
sunset.
If
you
will
during
the
during
the
last
year
that
that
period
would
be
up
sometime
in
the
next
few
weeks,
the
applicant
had
yet
to
receive
its
state
licensure
until
approximately
30
days
ago.
G
So
clearly,
we
haven't
been
able
to
operate
the
facility
at
this
point
in
time
and
wanted
to
get
back
in
front
of
the
board
to
clarify
the
start
and
end
date.
If
you
will
of
the
one-year
sunset
we
I
dealt
with
the
staff
attorney,
I
had
originally
filed
a
a
an
extension
request.
It
was
determined
that
the
more
appropriate
way
to
bring
this
to
the
board
was
under
board
final
arbiter,
and
we
are
here
today
in
that
regard
with
me.
G
This
morning
is
ross
bradshaw,
who
is
the
owner
operator
of
the
facility
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
We
simply
haven't
been
able
to
complete
the
licensure
to
get
in
a
position
to
be
open
and
are
asking
for
relief
so
that
we
can
get
back
to
you
after
we're.
Open
and
you've
had
a
chance
to
see
how
the
operation.
A
Mr
quilty,
so
the
question
for
you
is
the:
do
you
recall,
because
I'm
a
sh,
I'm
I'm
sure
that
you've
looked
at
the
link
to
the
hearing,
about
the
reasons
why,
if
there
were
any
for
the
one
year
for
the
one
year,
review.
G
I'm
pretty
sure
madam
chair,
there
were
concerns
raised
by
the
fenway
park,
which
is
you
know
quite
near
the
facility
that
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
operation
was
consistent
with
good
business
practices,
and
I
believe
it's
in
that
context,
that
the
board,
you
know,
created
the
one-year
sunset.

Q
Good
morning,
madam
chairwoman
and
board
members,
I'm
attorney
peter
t,
lions,
99,
fulton
street
boston,
massachusetts,
and
I
have
played
here
before
you
today
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
mr
jack
mahoney
of
landmark
realty.
Q
A
Q
Okay,
this
is
in
east
boston,
neighborhood
districts
and
is
in
it
in
a
two-family
zone.
Q
There
is
no
bedrooms
or
anything
in
the
basement
that
will
be
living
area
and
we're
seeking
to
have
conditional
use
permits
issued
to
allow
this
project
to
move
forward.
Q
I
believe
it's
a
living
area,
but
I
may
divert,
will
chiffon
to
respond
to
that.
R
R
A
R
There'll
be
a
egress
window
out
the
rear
with
a
ladder
accessing
it,
and
the
basement
has
existing
windows
in
it,
and
the
ceiling
height
will
be
a
little
around
seven
foot.
Six.
A
R
Yes,
so
the
as
attorney
lions
mentioned
existing
single
family
being
proposed
to
turn
into
a
two
family.
Each
unit
will
be
around.
I
believe
it's
1500
square
feet,
three-bedroom
we're
providing
parking
in
the
rear
via
a
new,
curb
cut
parking
for
each
unit,
and
this
is
taking
a
previously
dilapidated
building
and
trying
to
renovate
it.
A
Okay,
so
it
is
even
for
a
one
family,
it's
small,
since
the
two
f.
It
requires
four
thousand
square
feet
for
the
additional.
So
are
you
proposing
a
roof
deck.
R
The
building
height
we
are
proposing
a
33
and
a
half
foot
high
building
we're
allowed
35
that
is
measured
from
the
grade.
The
building
is,
I
believe,
two
and
a
half
feet
above
great
for
the
first
floor.
Raisement
is
slightly
raised
out.
S
A
Okay,
okay
got
it.
How
were
the
plans
yes,
and
can
you
tell
miss
some
ambassador,
which
plan
we
should
be
looking
at
to
look
at
to
see
the
parking
and
the
parking
layout.
A
Okay,
so
you
have
open
space
and
then
the
three
parking
spots
got
it
and
is
that
a
shared
driveway
or
not.
A
Yes,
yes,
okay,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
plans.
B
Plans
are
good
confirming
what
the
proponent
is
addressing
there.
N
B
Says
a
wet
bar
shown,
but
it
is
called
out
as
a
family
room
doesn't
look
like
there's
any
cooking
and
I
think
the
height
is
consistent
with
the
other
buildings
on
the
street.
So
no
questions
from
me.
M
Yeah,
what
is
the
current
use
of
the
basement.
M
And
that
will
and
how
will
that
function
be
continued
in
the
on
the
future
plans.
R
There
is
space
going
to
be
allocated
for
the
mechanical
equipment
towards
the
front
of
the
building
for
easy
access
to
existing
utilities
in
the
street.
The
heating
and
cooling
units
will
be
independent
within
the
units
themselves.
M
Okay
and
the
final
question
you
said,
the
floor
to
ceiling
height
was
seven
foot
six.
What
is
the
florida
great
height
of
the
basement?.
R
M
To
the
first
floor,
I
thought
you
said
it
was
to
the
first
to
the
first
floor.
All
right,
so
it
means
underside
of
floor
is
probably
at
least
a
foot
less
than
that.
T
U
Good
morning
my
damn
chair
members
of
the
board,
natalia
being
to
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
our
office
held
a
waters
meeting
for
this
project
in
january
2022
that
was
well
attempted
by
a
butters
concerns
were
over
window
placement,
which
the
applicant
works
closely
with
the
abutter
to
redesign
concerns.
Concerns
were
also
regarding
heights
and
most
specifically
side
setback
project
was
also
presented
before
the
harvard
viewing
head
association
which
voted
in
opposition
22
to
12..
U
N
V
W
H
H
X
Okay
yeah,
my
name
is
joseph
dewhurst.
I
live
at
190
pappas
crush
road
versus
rhode
island.
I
am
the
father
of
maddie
dewhurst,
who
is
the
nearest
of
butter?
Maddie
couldn't
be
here
today
because
she's
on
a
plane.
X
Otherwise
she
would
be
here
so
I'm
speaking
as
her
representative,
so
to
reiterate:
she's
the
nearest
of
butter
immediately
to
the
north,
at
180,
byron
street
I'd,
say
first
that
she
favors
maddie
favors
rehabilitation
of
this
property.
X
You
know
she
rehabilitated
the
property
that
she
lives
in
and
that
work
was
written
up
in
the
boston
globe.
So
she's,
all
in
favor
of
of
eliminating
the
eyesore
tell.
X
A
Okay,
so
just
bullet
point
them
for
us.
Please
absolutely.
X
There
are
basically
two
one
is
the
one
that
was
referenced
earlier,
which
is
that
the
third
floor
does
not
appear
to
comply
with.
You
know
the
size
stipulations.
It's
it's
clearly
mine.
X
Second,
is
that
there's
a
foot
and
a
half
between
her
property
line
and
the
existing
basement
that
can't
be
changed,
but
the
extension,
the
addition
in
the
rear
continues
to
follow
that
line
a
foot
and
a
half
away
from
her
property
line,
rather
than
adhering
to
the
required
seven
foot
setback.
She
would
like
that
to
be
set
back.
A
And
and
let's
see
bpda
jeff.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
We've
recommended
approval,
with
proviso
I
want
to
defer
to
btd
on
the
off
street
parking.
It
looks
tight
back
there,
but
I
defer
to
bob
on
that
recommendation.
We
would
just
ask
for
design
review,
especially
when
it
comes
to
changing
the
roof
line.
Thank
you.
B
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
bpda
design
review.
I
do
think
it
needs
some
help
on
the
roof
line,
and
it
would
be
good,
I
think,
to
look
at
the
rear
extension
to
see
if
there's
anything
that
you
can
do
for
the
abutter,
with
btd
review
of
the
parking.
P
A
Any
opposed
motion
carry
carries
just
so
good
luck.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
most
applicants
know
this,
but
today
is
a
six-member
board.
We
have
a
six-member
board
and
for
approval.
You
need
five
members
in
support
of
the
project.

Y
The
proposal
is
to
raise
an
existing
commercial
structure
which
has
been
used
as
a
garage
space,
probably
to
be
worked
on
years
ago,
and
to
erect
a
new
residential
building
with
six
units
and
four
ground
level
interior
parking
spaces.
Y
The
layout
of
this
building
is
on
our
first
floor.
That's
a
good
picture
of
what's
existing.
On
our
first
floor
we
have
the
main
entry
and
second
egress
entry.
It
would
have
a
accessibility
lift
to
the
second
floor
and
it
would
house
the
four
parking
spaces
two
in
the
back
two
on
the
side
and
then
bike
racks
in
the
back
corner.
Y
The
it
would
also
have
rear
yard
access
the
second
floor
of
the
building
going
up
would
house
units
one
and
two
unit.
One
is
630
square
foot,
one
bedroom
one
bath
with
a
study.
A
Y
We've
got
three
one
bedrooms
with
a
study
madam
chair
and
the
average
size
is
705
square
feet
and
we've
got
three
two
bedrooms
at
an
average
size
of
955
square
feet.
There
are
only
rare
decks
proposed
on
this
project,
so
there's
no
roof
decks
on
a
structure.
Y
Yes,
so
minimum
lot
size
it's
a
thousand
square
feet
for
each
additional
unit.
We
are
2500
square
feet
so
similar
to
the
buildings.
Building
to
the
right
of
us,
we
meet
lot
within
frontage.
Far
allowable
is
one
red
2.5.
Y
Building
height
for
this
area
is
three
stories
35
feet.
We
are
at
four
stories,
38
feet,
six
inches
or
exactly
matched
to
the
heights
of
each
building.
Next
to
us
our
rear
yard,
based
on
the
bpda
recommendation,
we
actually
brought
that
up.
So
we
now
are
at
15
feet,
but
30
is
required
and
then
parking.
We
do
have
four
spots,
but
six
would
be
required.
We
are
in
a
flood
hazard
district.
None
of
our
utilities
are
in
the
bottom
floor
and
none
of
there's
no
livable
space
only
parking
at
the
ground
level.
Y
This
is
slab
on
grade,
so
I
can
answer
any
questions
that
the
board
may
have.
A
Y
A
Y
Or
directly
to
the
right
of
us
is
a
building
exactly
the
same
height
size
that
was
approved
a
few
years
back
across
the
street
and
they're
all
four-story
in
this
immediate
area.
Next
to
us
is
four-story,
that's
half
the
lot
size.
That
is
three
bedrooms
both
of
those
buildings
go
back
further
than
ours
and
the
rare
we've
got
ours
in
across
the
street
at
191.
Paris
street
is
a
four-story
32
unit
apartment
complex
recently
built
21
parking
spaces,
254
para
street
four
stories
with
six
units
and
five
parking
spaces.
A
Okay,
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
B
Plans
are
good,
I
think
it's.
It
is
consistent
with
the
street.
I
do
have
a
question,
the
rear
yard,
so
you
mentioned
the
inviting
property
at
217.
It's
much
much
deeper,
which
I
can
appreciate
and
see.
221,
however,
is
much
less
deep
than
what
you're
proposing
so
and
what
is
the
rear?
Is
there
a
221
rear
that
abuts
this
property.
Y
It's
from
the
other
street
in
the
back
that
building
goes
back
all
the
way
to
the
property
line,
so.
B
B
Y
B
Glass,
I
don't
have
any
other
questions
about
the
plans.
I
think
they're
fairly
straightforward
in
terms
of
the
proposal,
but
it
just
feels
a
little
bit
deep
and
too.
Z
Z
B
No,
the
question
I
was
asking
is:
there's
a
there's,
a
building
to
your
rear
left
that
you
are
actually
encroaching
and
overlapping
on
so
there's,
basically,
zero
lap,
rear
yard
for
them
now
effectively
and
then
you're
over
this
top
little
corner.
Here
is
what
I'm
sort.
Y
Of
I
think
we
touch
it.
Mr
robinson,
like
we're
close,
we
don't
overlap
it.
It's
a
staircase
as
a
second
of
an
egress
on
the
back
building,
got
it
okay,.
Z
A
A
It's
about
five
feet
from
from
from
wall
to
wall;
okay,
okay,
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
M
Y
So
these
are
sorry
I'll
answer
that
mystery.
These
are
all
18
by
eight
foot
spaces,
there's
about
21
feet
across
the
middle
for
them
to
back
out
it's
typical
of
every
building
and
new
building
in
this
immediate
area.
So
we
believe
there
there
is
plenty
of
room
for
maneuverability.
It
is
going
to
be
a
space
that
backs
out,
but
you
would
drive
in
it
is
a
proposed
rental
building.
So
for
those
folks
that
would
need.
AA
M
So
again,
it's
not
like
a
space
is
assigned
to
a
unit.
Y
M
On
this
on
this
drawing,
this
is
thank
you
for
bringing
this
up
growing
up.
What
is
what
is
that
in
the
bottom
left
corner?
Those
looks
like
one
two,
three,
four
five:
what
are
those
units
that
are.
M
Y
Well,
we
were
asked
also
by
the
community
to
add
those
too
so
and
then
we
also
mr
ehrlich
increased
our
rear
setback
too.
So
you
know
we
shifted
the
cars
over
to
the
side
to
make
this.
A
Yep,
so
let's
go
and
see
if
anybody
is
here
to
speak
either
in
support
or
in
opposition
of
this
proposal.
U
Yeah
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
natalia
vanessa's,
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
the
applicant
has
been
in
touch
with
the
butter
since
day
one
and
has
addressed
all
concerns,
maverick
central
neighborhood
association
who
wanted
to
support
the
project
as
well.
Thank
you.
H
V
Hi,
this
is
jacob
from
the
office
of
counselor
lady
edwards
wanted
to
go
on
record.
The
counselor
is
in
support
of
this
project
and
I
wanted
to
get
that
down
for
the
record.
Thank
you.
H
A
So
this
is
the
official
address
for
this.
Mr
dregos
219.
V
A
H
O
To
him
above
the
medical,
boston,
transportation
department-
and
I
would
just
like
to
address
mr
ehrlich's
concern-
if
this
was
a
public
parking
location,
then
I
would
be
a
little
bit
concerned,
but
seeing
that
it's
a
private
and
it's
a
residential
parking
plan,
I
can,
I
can
understand
and
accept
the
the
parking
design
as
proposed.
D
I
hate
when
the
mute
doesn't
work.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
We
recommend
it
to
now
without
prejudice
and
the
reasoning
why-
and
I
know
it
looks
like
a
broken
tooth
right
now,
but
back
in
2017
we
recommended
denial
without
prejudice
at
221
2018.
We
recommended
denial
without
prejudice
at
217.,
so
our
recommendations
are
based
on
consistency.
D
We
think
that
all
three
of
the
proposals
were
excessive,
so
that
is
the
reasoning
behind
our
third
one
here
with
the
broken
tooth
parcel.
Thank
you.
A
Any
opposed
motion
carries
mr
hampton,
if
you
can
figure
out,
if
the
bpda
can
figure
out
a
way
to
pull
that
building
back
so
that,
in
fact,
that
there
is
not
there
so
that
it
eliminates
that
five
feet
between
the
existing
building
and
this
proposal.
E
Thank
you
good,
calling
next
case
boa
one:
two,
nine
nine,
two,
six,
nine
four
holden
road
violation
is
article
62,
section,
8,
floor
area
ratio,
excessive.
AA
AA
This
is
an
existing
two
family
dwelling,
and
the
plan
is
to
extend
unit
one
to
the
lower
level.
No
change
in
the
existing
footprint.
The
the
space
would
be
used
as
flex
space
with
a
new
bathroom
and
just
some
storage
unit.
One
would
be
around
1300
square
feet
and
consistent
with
unit
two.
As
of
right
now,
no
work
is
proposed
on
unit
two.
This
would
be
strictly
work
to
unit
one
and
unit
two.
A
So
tell
us
what
flex
space
means
because,
as
you
know,
we're
concerned
about
bedrooms
in
the
basement,
absolutely
hotel.
AA
So
the
idea
would
be
to
be
able
to
have,
with
this
work
from
home
era,
to
be
able
to
have
a
unit
that
is
conducive
to
that,
potentially
an
office
space
I'll
potentially
put
a
larger
family
room
down
on
that
to
just
have
some
more
access
and
some
separate
space
for
people.
So
at
this
point
we
are
not
proposing
any
basement.
Excuse
me
any
bedrooms
and
no
new
kitchen
or
anything
like
that.
AA
B
Plans
are
fine,
it's
a
full
walkout
in
the
rear,
so
it's
not
sort
of
upgrade.
There
is
some
windows
on
the
front.
Currently
the
electrical
is
shown
in
this
flex
space.
So
I
do
think
that
needs
to
be
adjusted
prior
to
construction,
but
no
necessary.
No
questions
about
the
scope
seems
really
straightforward.
AD
Yes,
barney,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
keon
stapleton,
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
All
betters
were
fired
in
our
office,
held
in
a
butters
meeting
on
tuesday
february
22nd.
The
meeting
had
no
attendees
and
I
received
no
letters
of
support
or
opposition,
so
at
this
time
we
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
K
Okay,
this
is
casey
patton,
the
owner
of
the
property,
so
just
on
the
topic
of
a
butter,
I've
been
proactive
with
the
so.
A
Hold
on
I'm
I'm
you
know
I
I
I
don't
necessarily
need
to
hear
free
from
you,
but
thank
you
for
being
on
anybody
else
to
speak
and
offer
an
opinion
either
in
support
or
in
opposition.

AE
Madam
chair,
I'm
happy
to
provide
a
quick
background
on
the
proposed
change
of
occupancy
or
jump
directly
to
the
variances,
whichever
the
board
prefers.
A
Yes,
please
tell
us,
is
this
speculative
r
d
or
is
this?
Do
you
have
a
tenant
in
place.
AE
This
is
indeed
speculative.
The
building
was
previously
leased
to
wework,
which
was
a
co-working
provider.
They
defaulted
on
their
lease
in
2021
and
left
the
building
leaving
the
building
about
75
vacant.
The
decision
was
made
to
in
order
to
stabilize
the
building
quickly
and
as
rapidly
as
possible
to
add
the
ability
to
have
additional
uses,
namely
life
science,
r
d,
to
the
building
for
the
future.
A
And
are
there
any
specifics
is:
is
there
a
way
that
the
building
needs
to
be
adjusted
to
accommodate
this
r
d,
use
stacks
or
ventilation,
or
anything
like
that?.
AE
Yes,
madam
chair,
the
building
mechanical
systems
are
being
completely
overhauled
within
this
building,
so
all
of
the
infrastructure,
the
plumbing
the
electrical
and
the
hvac
systems
are
being
overhauled.
What
we're
doing,
which
is
a
little
bit
different
than
maybe
some
of
the
other
conversions
that
the
board
has
seen
is.
We
are
actually
submerging
the
majority
of
this
equipment
within
the
11th
floor
by
repurposing
what
was
previously
tenant
office
space,
and
that
was
really
done
out
of
the
necessity
to
limit
any
equipment
that
needed
to
be
located
on
the
rooftop.
A
So
so,
if
it's
on
the
11th
floor,
so
is
the
11th
floor,
the
top
floor.
AE
So
the
exhaust
equipment
is
located
in
the
middle
of
the
rooftop
in
the
open
air
penthouse.
AE
It
is
surrounded
by
some
residential
uses,
but
I
will
just
note
that
the
rooftop
of
this
building
is
at
approximately
150
feet.
The
surrounding
leather
district
datum,
which
is
very
consistent,
is
around
100
feet.
So
there
is
a
great
degree
of
separation
from
the
surrounding
buildings
and
and
the
proposed
rooftop
equipment.
A
Okay,
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
B
Plans
are
good,
I
I
did
review
all
293
of
them,
so
thank
you
for
sending
them
all
in.
They
are
adding
additional
equipment.
They
are
also
appears
adding
a
screening
on
the
11th
floor.
That
will,
I
think,
help.
Currently
it's
not
screened.
B
A
Thank
you
is
anybody
here

speak

support

of
this
proposal.

what's
the
difference

mean

is

A
Mr
mr
berry,
I
should
inform
you
that
we
started
off
with
a
with
a
six
member
board
with
the
recusal
we're
down
to
a
five
member
board,
so
you
so
to
to
to
you.
You
basically
need
all
five
of
us
in
support
of
this
proposal
for
it
to
carry
so
you
do
have
the
opportunity
to
ask
for
an
administrative
deferral
and
if
you
decide
to
proceed,
if
you
can
address
the
building
code,
first.
AJ
Certainly,
we
do
wish
to
proceed.
Madam
chair,
okay,
regarding
the
building
code,
violation
that
is
in
the
refusal
letter
that
was
actually
a
decision
by
the
design
team,
rather
than
creating
a
head
house
on
the
top
of
the
structure
to
access
the
two
individual
roof
decks
for
each
unit.
AJ
Instead,
there
was
a
decision
to
put
in
the
roof
hatches,
which
seemed
to
be
something
that
the
board
had
been
kind
of
advising
clients
to
try
to
do
just
for
the
sake
of
it's
not
as
such.
B
AJ
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
there
are
two
violations
here.
The
two
violations
are
that
the
building
height
is
excessive
in
feet.
The
plans
actually
show
that
the
roof
deck
is
actually
at
39
feet,
4
inches
at
the
base
of
the
roof
deck,
but
we
did
know
that
the
rear
yard
insufficiency
that
was
a
pre-existing
knob
conformance
that
was
going
to
be
triggered
by
filing
this
proposal.
AJ
AJ
AJ
That
was
actually
one
of
the
points
I
was
going
to
get
to
madam
chair.
There
are
good
renditions
of
the
size
of
the
roof
deck
that
are
located
on
a
1.5
right
there.
AJ
On
the
proposal
we
put
in
a
couple
of
sun
chairs
just
to
show
kind
of
what
the
size
of
this
roof
deck
actually
would
appear
in
reality,
and
then,
as
far
as
visibility
from
the
so.
AJ
The
dimensions
on
the
roof
deck
are,
the
width
is
15
feet,
7
inches
that
was
actually
minimized
after
our
butters
meeting
due
to
concerns
from
the
community
about
the
size
of
the
roof
deck.
So
we
did
make
the
width
smaller
by
about
roughly
six
feet
and
the
length
of
the
roof
deck.
Is
I
apologize?
I've
spoken
correctly.
The
width
of
each
individual
roof
deck
stayed
at
10
feet,
2
inches
the
depth
of
the
roof.
AJ
AK
AJ
AL
AJ
B
Plans
are
fine.
I
think
you
know
that
athens
street
is
obviously
a
tight
street
and
with
the
two
driveway
access
points,
I'm
not
sure
exactly
about
the
maneuverability
into
the
the
units,
but
the
plans
are
pretty
straightforward
and
it
doesn't
appear.
There's
a
wall
shown
except
for
in
that
one
accent.
AJ
AJ
I
know
that
this
was
brought
before
the
board
some
time
ago.
I'm
not
exactly
sure
when
I
believe
it
was
in
2014
and
then
it
was
purchased
by
my
client.
He
bought
it
in
october
of
2021.
AJ
He
is
in
the
process
right
now
of
beginning
construction
when
he
purchased
it.
The
actual
size
of
a
lot
is
approximately
1174
square
square
feet.
So
it's
a
very
small
parcel
and
the
idea
after
he
purchased
it
was
to
try
to
create
some
type
of
outdoor
space
for
the
owners,
with
everything
that
we
know
that's
going
on
right
now,
although
it
is
subsiding,
we
were
trying
to
give
some
way
for
the
owners
to
have
some
outdoor
space
other
than
any
porch
would
go
beyond
the
property
line.
Madam
chair.

What
I
want
to
make
sure
is
that,
if
their
neighborhood
was
in
opposition
at
that
time
to
roof
deck
and
therefore
it
was
eliminated
from
the
plans
that
we
are
not
kind
of
backdooring
it
now
by
approving
a
roof
deck.
AM
A
E
P
A
Okay,
let's
just
find
out
I'm
sorry,
mr
robinson,
did
I
ask
you
how
the
plans
were.
AN
Chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
john
romano.
From
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
We
have
received
opposition
both
from
abutters
and
from
the
community
groups
based
on
the
roof
deck
being
on
a
building,
they
said
would
not
be
putting
roof
decks
on
in
the
building,
as
well
as
concerns
about
the
project.
At
this
time,
we
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment
on
this
matter.
AG
Good
morning
model
of
the
chair
members
of
the
war
anna
calderon
from
council
presidents
fling's
office,
the
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
recording
opposition
to
this
proposal.
We
have
received
numerous
opposition
letters
and
emails
from
director
voters
in
this
area
who
are
not
happy
with
the
proposed
roof
decks.
Thank
you.
T
A
AJ
So
here
can
I
just
address
one
thing
very
quickly:
there
are
two
letters
of
support
in
the
file
from
the
two
directive
butters
to
this
property.
There
were
members
at
the
abutters
meeting.
A
Hold
on
hold
on
please
so,
given
all
that
information,
may
I
have
a
motion
please.

A
N
AK
Yes,
ma'am
jake
good
morning,
mountain
chambers.
My
name
is
james,
christopher
one
of
the
principals
of
686
architects,
with
the
business
address
of
1156
dorchester
avenue
poncett,
I'm
here
today
on
on
behalf
of
jennifer
and
sean
pugsley
they're.
The
owners
of
16
beaufield
street,
which
you
can
see
here,
is
a
coin.
A
lot
on
beaufield,
which
wraps
around
ballfield
and
granite
ave.
The
proposal
is
to
construct
a
small
rear
edition,
combining
the
existing
lots
creating
three
off
street
parking
spaces.
AK
This
proposal
is
being
constructed
out
of
medical
necessity.
Sean's
parents
are
aging
and
this
construction
will
allow
them
to
stay
in
with
their
families
and
not
end
up
in
a
nursing
home.
As
a
result
of
this
project,
we
have
some
zoning
violations.
We
carried
out,
we
held
in
a
butters
meeting.
The
project
was
well
received
and
supported
by.
A
AK
The
proposal
is
to
construct
a
rare
addition
to
the
existing
single
family,
creating
a
new
unit.
The
addition
will
be
approximately
20
by
18..
On
the
first
floor,
it
will
have
a
kitchen
with
a
small
living
area
and
a
bedroom
for
the
pugsley's
parents
and
then,
on
the
second
floor,
we
would
house
a
master
bedroom
for
sean
and
jennifer.
A
AK
They'll
be
able
to
come
into
the
unit
at
grade,
we'll
have
an
oversized
grade
shower,
and
the
living
and
bedroom
are
all
at
grade.
AK
Have
three
parking
spaces?
We
are
showing
one
parking
space
in
close
proximity
to
the
new
front
door.
Madam
chair,
our
intent
there
is
that
easy
access
in
and
out
for
medical
appointments
and
such,
but
there
will
be
additional
room
on
the
site.
If
you
go
back
to
the
site
use
plan,
you
can
see
here
we're
proposing
one
two.
Three
with
you
can't
see
me,
but
the
the
number
one
parking
space
would
be
so
that
they
could
pull
in
and
park
adjacent
to
the
front
door.
A
Okay,
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
B
Plans
are
good,
no
question
on
the
proposed
scope.
I
think
the
just
the
question
may
be
a
little
bit.
It's
showing
a
fairly
large
curb
cut.
I
know
they're
moving
it,
but
I
think
probably
we
should
limit
the
size.
It's
called
out
as
14
feet
clear,
but
it
seems
excessive
for
a
residential
but
other
than
that.
No,
no,
real
questions
on
the
proposal.
AO
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
george
winton,
with
the
mayor's
austin
neighborhood
services
our
office,
hosted
in
the
butter's
meeting
for
the
proposal
on
april
2nd.
We
heard
support
from
neighbors
in
the
cedar
grove
civic
association
to
allow
the
applicant's
elderly
parents
to
live
next
door.
At
this
time,
we
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment.
Thank
you.
O
It's
right,
bob
damico,
boston,
transportation,
department,
the
three
spaces,
don't
work
very
well
maneuverability
with
the
two
spaces
across
one
another
would
be
very
difficult
and
I'd
like
to
recommend
that
the
space
is
being
reduced
from
three
to
two
in
order
to
provide
a
safe
maneuverability.
D
Thank
you,
jeff
hanson
senior
planning,
zoning
for
the
bpda
absent
a
formal
vote.
The
bpda
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
A
Okay,
mr
rogero,
was
there
a
lot
of
support
in
opposition
because
I
do
recall
seeing
some
letters
in
in
up
in
I
do
recall,
seeing
some
letters.
N
A
Is
there
a
second
second,
all,
those
in
favor
all
right,
hi,
any
opposed?
Do
we
need
design
review.
D
With
it,
would
that
be
just
btd
for
the
curb
cut.

We,
I
don't
think
we
need
to
see
it
to
be
honest.
Okay,.

Okay,
so,
mr

you
got
that
okay,

made

J
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
marantzy,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
business
address,
350
west
broadway
in
south
boston.
I
represent
mark
kennedy
who
owns
the
building
at
1809,
1813
dorchester
avenue
where
he
has
had
his
commercial
painting
business
for
many
years.
The
building
is
currently
used
for
storage
of
equipment
and
materials.
J
Project.
Architects
are
686,
architects
and
james
christopher
is
here
this
morning.
This
is
an
article
80
small
project,
which
has
been
approved
by
the
era
board
of
directors.
The
project
site
consists
of
5521
square
feet
at
the
corner
of
dorchester
avenue
and
banton
street,
which
is
a
dead-end
street.
The
proposed
project
is
to
demolish
the
existing
single-story
concrete
block
building
and
to
construct
a
new
five-story
building
containing
26
residential
apartment
units,
including
four
idp
units.
J
A
J
There's
no
parking:
the
site
is
actually
within
a
five
minute:
walking
distance
to
ashmont
mbta
station,
making
this
a
true
tod
project
because
of
this
walkability
factor
and
in
order
to
activate
the
ground
floor
of
the
building,
the
proposed
project
doesn't
include
accessory
off-street
parking
instead
of
a
ground
floor
garage.
The
building
will
include
approximately
2200
square
feet
of
retail
space
at
grade,
as
well
as
numerous
building
amenities.
J
We
in
fact
looked
originally
at
having
parking
in
this
building,
but
because
of
the
shallow
depth
of
the
lot,
and
because
of
the
need
to
have
a
lobby
retail
space
to
activate
the
ground
floor
of
bicycle
storage,
mail
and
package,
room,
elevator,
core
utility
room,
etc.
On
the
ground
floor
level,
it
would
have
been
only
room
for
parking
spaces.
A
Okay,
so
let's,
let's
get
to
you,
know,
violations
that
are
that
we're
concerned
about
is
conformity
with
building
alignment.
A
Hold
on
traffic
visibility
across
the
corner
and
context,
how
does
this
fit
in
with?
What's
in
in
in
proximity,.
J
Of
course,
as
I
said
in
addition,
of
course,
there's
a
violation
for
inspection
officer
parking,
there
are
also
violations
prince
fish
and
lot
area
for
the
size
of
the
the
size
of
the
lot
and
the
number
of
units
for
far
this
is
a
proposed
3.4.
Far,
there's
a
building
height
violation.
J
This
building
would
be
48
feet
to
the
roof
of
the
fourth
story.
But
there's
a
recessed
fifth
store
that
fifth
story:
roof
would
be
59
feet.
There
are
also
violations
for
insufficient
usable,
open
space,
front
side
and
rear
yard
setbacks.
Although,
with
respect
to
the
front
and
side
setbacks,
I
need
to
point
out.
This
is
a
corner
lot.
Also,
this
is
an
mfr
ls
sub
district,
where
street
wall
continuity
is
actually
a
code
requirement.
J
So
this
is
a
essentially
a
site
with
two
moguls,
both
along
dorchester
avenue
and
along
benton
street.
This
is
also
relevant
with
respect
to
the
traffic
visibility
across
corner.
Banton
street
is
a
very
little
view
street.
It's
a
short
street.
It
is
a
dead
end
street.
There
is
a
commercial
use
behind
the
building
and
that's
about
it.
So
bpda
opted
for
an
auction
to
create
a
relatively
strong
street
edge.
There
is
some
degree
of
setback
on
both
stanton
and
dorchester
avenue
at
the
corner.
J
A
Okay,
so
let's
just
ask
a
couple:
more
questions,
no
roof
decks.
How
is
open
space
being
provided.
J
There
are
no
roof
decks.
The
fifth
floor
plan
consists
of
two
units
which
are
well
set
back
from
the
from
the
center
of
the
of
the
roof.
I
believe,
if
we
scroll
back
in
the
plan
set,
that
would
be,
that
would
be
visible
and
there
is
a
in
the
rear
of
the
site.
J
It
isn't
a
uniform
setback,
there's
a
greater
setback
on
the
right
rear
of
the
site,
which
is
programmed
open
space
for
the
building
james
james
christopher's,
the
architect
james
could
actually,
as
we
keep
scrolling
back
up
to
the
first
floor
level,.
A
Hey
hold
on,
let
me
find
out
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
B
AK
AK
Yes,
the
sighting
and
massing
of
the
building
remained.
We,
I
don't
know
what
happened
here,
but
this
this
that
the
essentially.
N
AK
Penthouse
has
moved
into
the
middle
of
the
building
more
there's
two
units,
but
the
end
wall
set
back
from
the
front
of
dorchester
ave
to
the
front
wall
is
the
same,
but
the
the
building
has
moved
in
and
we've
eliminated
two
units.
B
Okay,
so
because
there's
no
doors
shown
to
the
decks
are
those
occupiable
decks?
Are
they
just
outdoor
space,
yeah.
AK
No,
they
were
occupiable
this,
as
I
mentioned
eric
this,
mr
robinson,
this,
this
iteration
has
changed
so
the
this
the
top
floor
is,
is
different.
Now,
all
right
and.
B
AK
AK
A
Hold
on
mr
morenzy
any
questions
from
the
board.
AK
D
A
AO
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
george
wynn,
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services,
this
proposal
has
been
in
the
community
process.
For
the
last
two
and
a
half
years,
our
office
heard
consistent
opposition
from
butters
regarding
its
height
and
density.
With
far
too
few
parking
spots,
we
received
a
letter
of
opposition
from
st
mark's
area,
civic
association.
With
these
concerns,
we
also
received
a
letter
of
support
from
greater
asphalt,
main
street
praising
the
transformation
of
a
light
industrial
parcel
into
active
streetscape
and
much
needed
housing.
AO
A
So
please,
so
I
from
the
community
point
of
view,
it
was
a
mixed
bag.
Is
that
what
you're
reporting
george.
AO
I
would
say
with
a
butters:
it's
been
pretty
consistent
in
terms
of
opposition
and
then
with
main
street.
That's
where
the
support
comes
in.
E
AL
Good
morning,
madam
chairman
dustin
gardner
on
behalf
of
city
council
at
warrell's
office,
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
setting
some
of
the
comments
that
the
mayor's
office
reported,
the
the
height,
the
lack
of
parking
and
the
opposition
from
direct
butters.
H
AQ
My
name
is
sydney
miller.
I
live
at
14,
edwin
street,
I'm
in
a
butter.
I
live
like
five
doors
up
from
dorchester
avenue.
This
is
a
crazy
proposal
at
five
stories.
It's
almost
double
the
height
of
the
average.
Most
most
buildings
in
the
area
are
one
to
three
stories
high
and
there's
no
parking
provided
at
all.
Where
do
we
think
the
estimated
40
vehicles
are
likely
to
park
I'll?
Tell
you
where
they're
going
to
park,
they're
going
to
park
hold.
A
On
so
you're
you're
in
opposition
because
of
density
and
lack
of
parking,
correct.
I
AR
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
mikey
foreign,
I'm
vice
president
of
the
city
mark
civic
association
and
chair
of
the
society
market
development
committee.
I
live
in
the
next
block
rover
about
500
feet
from
this
proposal.
I
am
in
strong
opposition
to
this
proposal.
This
proposal
came
before
the
same
america,
civic
association
meeting
last
tuesday,
a
well-attended
meeting
after
the
presentation.
There
was
a
discussion.
H
Okay
and
hey
yeah
go
ahead.
AS
Yes,
hi
good
morning,
I'm
talking
on
behalf
of
my
husband,
joseph
hunt
and
I
we
are
living
in
59
edwin
street
and
I
want
to
state
very
strongly
our
opposition
to
this
project.
It's
crazy
to
be
having
a
place
that
should
have
41
spaces
and
has
zero
and,
as
other
people
have
spoken
about
the
parking
situation,
we
are
nearly
80
years
old,
we're
literally
afraid
to
leave
our
house
at
this
time,
because
walking
is
hazardous
in
the
winter
and
we
don't
drive
anywhere
because
you
can't
find
parking
anywhere
near
our
home.
Okay.
AS
Thank
you.
One
additional
thing
that
I
must
say
is
that
this
development
is
being
supported
or
presented
as
a
transit,
oriented
development
or
tod,
and
I'd
like
to
say
that
is
a
false
premise,
because
tod
cannot
start
with
developments
that
are
called
tod
just
because
they
don't
provide
parking.
Tod
has
to
start
by
building
an
environment
that
does
not
need
cars,
in
other
words.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
H
AT
Yes,
hi,
my
name
is
vance
morgan.
I
live
at
19
street.
I
strongly
oppose
this
proposition.
Certainly
the
parking
is
a
huge
issue.
All
those
people
within
the
building
will
be
looking
for
parking
on
the
street.
That's
already
congested,
it
has
parking
issues.
Thank
you
also,
also
the
the
amount
of
units
in
it
being
a
five-story
unit.
I
object
to
that
too.
Thank
you.

Hi,
I'm
jaden
disarro,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
greater
ashmont
main
streets,
for
we
did
submit
a
letter
of
support
in
in
in
support
of
the
project
because
of
its
focus
on
commercial,
commercial,
revitalization,
and
having
space
on
the
first
floor,
as
well
as
the
push
towards
being
transit-centric.
So
thank
you.
Our
full
comments
are
in
our
letter.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
AU
H
B
A
So
there's
two
oppositions:
given
that
we
have
a
six-member
board,
it's
been
denied.
AM
A
No,
it's
been
denied,
thank
you
because
that
is.
That
is
how
what
happens
at
this
when
this
happens,
because
I
think
denial
without
prejudice
means
that
this
board
is
uninterested
in
seeing
a
five-story
26-unit
mixed-use
building.

Thank
you,

We

We
did
receive
a
letter
from
parks

on
friday
with
a
number
of
asks
and
concerns,
so
we
want
to
work
with
them
and
the
greenway

to
address
some
of
those
issues.

I'd
like
to
make
a

We

we
submitted
updated

they
need
to
be

reviewed

we
believe
advertised
for
new

P
AV
Good
morning,
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
derek
small,
a
business
adjuster
on
dobson
road
with
me
today,
mario
signori
and
dwayne
osborne,
who
are
the
owners
and
operators
of
I'm
green
flash
llc,
and
our
security
consultant
is
paul.
Zambia,
who
is
also
on
the
call
adam
chair,
we're
here
today,
seeking
to
change
the
legal
option
to
include
our
cannabis
delivery
service
and
wholesale
distribution
of
cannabis
products.
AV
I'm
sure
the
zoning
sub
district
is
the
new
market,
industrial,
commercial,
neighborhood
district,
and
we
are
seeking
a
conditional
use
permit
to
allow
for
that.
I
will
allow
mario
and
dwayne
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
regarding
the
operations.
A
Counselor,
can
you
please
tell
us
if
this
is
in
proximity
of
a
school
are
in
proximity
of
another
establishment?
No.
A
Even
with
any
proposed
uses
of,
let's
see
school
uses
being
proposed
for
the
neighborhood,
not.
AV
A
Okay,
excellent!
Okay,
can
you
please
tell
us,
then
mr
signorian.
A
Is
can
you
please
tell
us
about
how
this
is
going
to
work,
how
many
people
you
intend
to
hire?
What's
the
the
the
the
breakdown
of
wholesale
and
delivery,
and
will
there
be
any
what
what
are
the
hours
of
operation?
A
Things
like
that
that
we
need
to
know
to
understand
the
how
this
is
going
to
work.
AW
Absolutely
I'd
love
to
so
this
is
a
wholesale
delivery.
Operation
there'll
be
absolutely
no
public
component
to
this
there'll
be
no
registers,
no
customers
or
any
people
from
the
public
coming
to
this
facility.
At
any
time
there
will
be
no
signage,
no
markings,
no
symbols
on
any
of
our
buildings
or
our
delivery
vehicles.
AW
Our
delivery
vehicles
will
be
nondescript
passenger
cars
customized
for
security
with
gps,
tracking
and
cameras,
and
a
secure,
lock
box
in
them.
They'll
look
just
like
most
of
the
other
cars
on
the
road
in
the
city
they're
designed
to
blend
in,
as
I
said,
non-descript
products
will
be
delivered
to
the
building
wholesale
in
a
secure,
carport.
AW
That's
taking
up
an
area
where
there's
two
existing
lanes
for
large
trucks
to
make
deliveries
at
a
loading
dock
products
will
then
come
in
through
the
secure
carport.
They
will
go
into
a
sally
port
that
goes
into
a
secured
material,
lift
that
goes
straight
from
the
loading
dock
right
up
to
our
vault
on
the
third
floor.
AW
It's
on
the
third
floor.
It's
secure.
We
have
an
extensive
security
plan
with
four
secure
points
of
entry
to
get
into
the
building
and
then
once
you're
into
the
third
floor.
After
four
security
points,
there's
two
secure
walls
to
get
to
our
hall
to
the
product:
it's
basically
a
fortress
in
the
sky.
So
it's
off
the
street
it's
out
of
the
way.
No
one's
going
to
know
we're
there,
except
for
employees
and
people
making
deliveries.
A
So
so
just
to
confirm
for
the
record,
who
will
you
be
delivering
to?
Will
you
be
delivering
to
other
businesses,
or
will
you
be
delivering
to
two
homes.
A
AW
AX
AW
Where,
after
people
have
gone
online
and
filled
out,
forms
and
shown
their
identification
to
prove
that
they're
21
years
old
age,
and
we
see
that
there
are
residents
that
we're
legally
allowed
to
deliver
to,
will
we
then
go
with
two
drivers
in
each
vehicle
who
are
both
on
camera
and
each
have
body
cameras
on
them?
They
will,
on
camera,
check
the
id
of
the
customer
to
make
sure
that's
who
it
is.
They
are
legally
of
age
and
allowed
to
buy
the
products.
A
So
you
know
a
lot
of
students
do
live
in
private
residences,
so
you
may
not
be
delivering
to
dorms,
but
you
may
be
delivering
to
to
students.
Is
there
any
policy
on
that.
AW
AW
People
who
have
quarries
who
may
have
had
a
small
fine
for
possession
of
a
small
amount
of
marijuana
has
prevented
them
from
getting
working
jobs
with
you
know,
getting
skilled
jobs
where
they
can
make
money
and
have
livable
wages,
so
we're
working
with
them
to
help
expunge
records
and
take
people
with
quarries,
with
a
priority
from
people
for
people
from
the
neighborhood,
preferably
from
marginalized
areas
of
boston,
we're
within
walking
distance.
It's
nine
different
buses
and
shuttles,
we're
right
next
to
two
commuter
rails
and
the
red
line.
AW
So
people
who
don't
have
vehicles
can
easily
walk
or
take
a
bus
shuttle
or
train
or
commuter
rail
to
our
location,
so
we're
opening
it
up.
Also
to
ada.
We
have
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
people
from
the
city
that
have
quarries,
preferably
from
marginalized
areas.
People
have
been
affected
by
the
war
on
drugs,
a.
AW
Hope
is
a
501c
here
in
boston.
They
formed
to
help
people
who
have
queries
and
have
expungeable
criminal
records
they're
also
looking
to
help
people
get
jobs
with
livable
wages,
people
who've
been
in
prison
or,
oh
I'm.
Sorry
thank.
A
You,
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
B
Pretty
straightforward
and
they
appear
to
be,
as
the
proponents
indicating
there
is-
seems-
to
be
a
secure
area
with
a
dedicated,
dumb
elevator
to
move
up
the
product
from
the
loading
dock.
So
no
real
questions
on
the
proposed
layout.
M
Yeah,
I
have
two
questions:
what
is
the
current
use
of
the
space.
AW
It's
located
in
an
industrial
building,
it
was
used
for
storage
and
for
heavy
equipment
like
gym
equipment.
There's
a
lot
of
weights.
They
use
the
the
prior
tenants
use
it
as
basically
a
fitness
gym.
So
there's
a
lot
of
big
heavy
equipment
and
weight
equipment
and
cardio
equipment
up
there.
Now,
okay,.
M
AY
Good
morning,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
this
is
jason
gantt.
The
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
and
a
butters
meeting
was
held
for
this
proposal
on
december
20th,
in
which
they
answered
all
the
questions
and
concerns
of
the
community.
There
was
a
lot
of
support
on
the
meeting,
a
lot
of
folks
which
who
are
here
today
to
testify,
so
I
will
speak
specifically
for
them.
The
only
issue
that
was
raised
to
the
applicant
team
was
the
use
of
the
elevator
by
another
proponent
in
the
building.
AY
AZ
Hi,
my
name
is
ben
murphy
from
the
new
market,
business
improvement,
district
manager
and
members
of
the
board
green
flange
and
its
owners
have
been
excellent,
neighbors
and
community
partners
since
long
before
this
proposal
and
have
outdone
themselves
with
their
community
engagement
this
time.
So
for
that
reason
I
would
like
to
go
on
record
as
strongly
in
support
of
their
proposal.
Thank
you.
AZ

have
been
personally

Please.
AH
All
right,
so
this
is
bill
justice
and
that's
not
how
this
policy
goes
like
anybody
can
speak
on
this
and
I
want
to
support
green
flash
delivery.
You
can't
make
up
your
rules
the
way
you
want
to.
A
Okay,
you
might
have
missed
our
preamble,
but
you
know
we
do
want
you
from
abutters

will
be
impacted,
but
I'm
assuming
you're
in
support
then.
A
E
Okay,
so
we're
gonna
go
to
the
first
case
at
10
30,

before
I
do
that,
are
there
any

I
do
see
a
raised

here,
john
hamill,
okay,.
AZ
H
John
jessica,
either
of
you
hi.
BB
There's
a
little
bit
of
an
echo,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
have
that
as
well.
BB
Speaker
on
so
I'm
hearing
an
echo,
so
that's
better!
Thank
you,
john
hale,
with
hamill
properties.
My
address
is
a
10
lookout,
terrace
of
linfield
massachusetts,
so
I'm
here
requesting
I'm
the
proper
property
owner,
not
not
familiar
with
the
process.
So
if
you
could
bear
with
me
and.
A
A
Hours
of
operation
for
takeout,
yes,
and
if
they
understand
specifically
what
takeout
means
in
the
city
of
boston.
BB
BC
BB
BB
So
this
property
227
handover
street
has
a
two
restaurants
on
the
location.
The
second
restaurant
is
a
small
takeout
restaurant.
It
previously
was
cobblestones
restaurant.
Unfortunately,
it
went
out
of
business
at
the
beginning
of
of
covid
casualty
of.
BB
And
the
new
proposed
restaurant
similarly
is
a
small
takeout
restaurant
sauce
day.
It's
a
cambodian
style
sandwich
shop
and
its
hours
of
operations
are
nine
a.m
to
11,
and
it's
not
too
just
not
dissimilar
to
the
previous
operations
in
terms
of.
BB
A
And
do
they
have
experience
with
takeout
in
the
city
of
boston.
BB
Yes,
they
have
a
number
of
other
restaurants
in
boston.
BB
I
think
it's
three
or
four
restaurants
in
well
in
in
boston
and
cambridge.
I
think
it's
maybe
two
of
them
in
boston.
BB
So
yeah
I
actually
did
include
jessica
as
a
as
a
pianist
which
could
we
let
her
join.
BB
She's,
I'm
not
sure
if
she's
you
may
have
to
unmute
jessica.
BD
So
I've
worked
with
love,
art,
sushi
polka
by
love,
art,
and
then
we
also
have
a
lovely
congress.
So
I'm
familiar
with
take
out
specifically
the
city
of
boston.
S
Yes,
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
sierra
d'amico
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
This
proposal
has
two
levels
of
support:
they
completed
their
community
process,
one
letter
from
the
north
end,
waterfront
residents,
association
and
the
other
from
north
end
waterfront
neighborhood,
council.
H
A
We
started
off
with
a
six
member
board,
we're
down
to
a
five
member
board,
so
that
means
that
every
one
of
us
you
need
every
one
of
us
support
to
to
have
this
project
go
ahead.
You
may
request
an
administrative
deferral
for
a
day
when
we
have
a
full
abort.
It's
entirely
up
to
you.
What
is
your
desire.
L
Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
mark
lucas,
lacasse
law,
75
arlington
street,
in
boston
attorney
for
the
applicant,
dr
abhay
betty,
who
is
the
owner
occupant
of
the
top
floor
unit
at
142,
st
batall
street.
His
proposal
is
to
add
a
partial
fourth
floor
on
the
top
of
the
building
to
create
650
square
feet
of
additional
living
area
for
his
unit.
So
he
can
stay
in
place.
L
Largely
the
zoning
violations
that
mr
secretary
read
into
the
record
relate
to
design
review,
and
that
is,
we
have
to
submit
to
the
bpda
for
the
same
design
review
as
would
be
done
under
small
project
review
and
also
the
rooftop
addition
in
a
protection
area.
As
this
is
the
saint
batoff.
Architectural
conservation
district
requires
a
conditional
use
and
review
by
the
saint
patoff
architectural
district
commission,
and
I.
B
Plans
are
good,
very
straightforward.
I
think
it's
thoughtfully
set
back
no
questions
on
the
proposal.
BD
Yes,
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
molly
griffin
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
george
the
board's
judgment.
Sorry
we
held
in
the
veterans
meeting
on
february,
2nd
neighbors
logged
on
it
was
mainly
support.
There
was
concern
from
one
neighbor.
I
believe
the
applicant
worked
with
them.
I
have
received
one
letter
in
support
of
this
project
from
the
other
tenants
living
in
142,

Thank
you.

deutsches.
F
Yeah
good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
john
palgini
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
ten
forbes
road
braintree
is
the
business
address
and
we're
seeking
a
deferral.
The
plans
went
back
into
isd.
F
A
A
J
J
Sorry,
george
marancy,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
350
west
broadway,
madam
chair.
J
No
harm
letter,
but
we
should
have
that
imminently.
I
know
there
was
a
may
date
discussed
earlier.
We
would
certainly
be
ready
for
that.
If
that's
still
available
may.
A
Let's
look
for
a
date
where,
because
eric
is
recusing
when
we
will
have
a
fuller
board,
if
that's
possible,.
B
Actually
I
was
going
to
not
to
get
into
the
business,
so
I
was
going
to
see
if
we
could
switch
my
days
with
hanzi
so
I
have
to.
I
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
my
of
the
the
my
dates.
Unfortunately,
sorry,
okay,.
J
E
We're
75
west
milton
right
calling
case
boa
one:
two:
six:
nine,
eight,
seven:
zero,
seventy
five
r,
seventy
five
b
r
west
milton
street
name
and
address
for
the
right.
P
H
AB
AB
A
AB
A
AB
A
Do
you
have
a
site
plan
for
all
this,
because
I'm
trying
to
understand
really
what
is
happening
on
the
entire
lot?
Well,
maybe
these
three
units
plus
another
unit,
no.
AB
Just
the
three
units
I
do,
we
did
submit
a
site
plan.
I
don't
know.
B
There's
a
separate
file,
that's
a
site
plan,
madam
ambassador.
A
Because
if
it's
an
r
address
that
is
kind
of
triggers
something
for
us
that
might
be
a
building
behind
the
building.
BF
AB
So
the
site
plan
I'll
explain
it
to
you
a
little
bit.
It's
a
rectangular
shaped
lot
adjacent
to.
As
I
said,
77
west
milton
street,
the
the
existing
structure
would
be
removed.
The
existing
garage
would
be
removed.
We
proposed
the
three
townhouse
units
that
you
see
before
you
with
a
20-foot
wide
cave
driveway
on
the
north
side
of
the
property.
AB
A
So
eric,
can
you
explain
this
to
us
because
we
just
you,
you
know
how
we
operate
about
buildings
behind
buildings.
Yes,.
B
B
I
I'm
honestly,
I'm
not
exactly
sure
if
I
understand
that
our
part
of
it,
I
guess,
because
I
think,
there's
only
a
single
family
on
the
site
now,
and
so
I
don't
know
if
I
really
understand
where
the
r
comes
from.
I
understand
that
they're
demolishing
it
so
there
will
be
no
buildings
on
the
site
and
then
they're
gonna
propose
to
build
this
three
family
sort
of
complex
attached
on
the
site
with
a
driveway
on
the
one
of
the
sides.
A
B
We'll
be
looking
at
it,
so
you'll
be
looking
at
the
west
elevation.
So
it's
so
the
short
side
is
against
the
street
and
the
long
side
is
runs
the
length
it's
a
very
deep
lot.
That's
on
west
milton
on
I'll,
say
kind
of
it's
really
east,
but
I'm
sorry
west,
but
the
back
side
is.
It
runs
up
against
the
railroad
track.
AB
That's
correct,
so
this
is,
as
you
see
here,
west
milton
street
runs
down
here,
there's
a
little
alley
that
comes
off
of
west
milton
street,
to
access
the
rear
property
and
the
property
across
the
street
identified
as
71-73.
A
Got
it
okay?
This
is
what
I
was
looking
for.
Okay
and
so
three
families
parking
okay
access
through
west
milton
street.
How
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
B
The
plans
are,
are
fine,
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
the
plans.
I
I
mean.
N
B
A
So
you
know
this
would
be
you
know,
so
we
just
need
to
understand
how
this
works
as
town
houses
versus
you
know,
a
more
typical
three
family
dwelling
yeah.
There
are.
T
A
M
B
A
M
So
so
that
just
seems
to
me
kind
of
odd
okay.
A
So
let
me
let
me
just
help
you
out
ma'am
who's
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
I
don't
know,
have
you
seen
the
bpda
recommendation?
A
AB
Do
I
have
just
the
denial
letter
from
which
brought
us
to
the
zba
okay.
A
So
it
sounds
like
the
bpda
also
has
issues
with
this
proposal:
they're
recommending
denial
without
prejudice
because
of
excessive
lot
coverage,
insufficient
setbacks
and
a
lot
of
other
things.
So
you
may
want
to
request
the
deferral
and
come
back
with
a
plan.
That's
as
you
can
tell
from
our
questions,
we're
just
having
kind
of
a
hard
time
with
this,
so
you
may
want
to,
on
behalf
of
your
client,
request
a
deferral
and
come
back
with
us
at
a
later
date.
After
you've,
we
looked
at
the
decision,
etc.
A
Just
let's:
let's:
let's
just
keep
it
on
the
table
here
on
the
deferral.
Do
you
need
a
couple
of
minutes
to
check
in
with
your
clients,
or
should
we
just
go
ahead
with
the
decision
on
this.
A
Is
there
a
second
I'll?
Second,
all
those
in
favor
any
opposed
motion
carries.
Let's
look
at
a
date
in
june
june.
P
AB

BG
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
kyle
smith
of
zotero
law.
Business
address
359
newbury
street
in
back
bay.
BG
BG
The
law
at
a
large,
madam
chair
is
5100
square
feet,
we're
otherwise
not
changing
the
building
envelope
in
any
way,
except
for
the
external
stairwell
and
the
roof.
Deformers.
A
Well,
that's
significant,
so
tell
us,
so
this
use
is
a
forbidden
use
in
this
district.
So,
and
it
looks
to
me
anyway
that
there
is
fair
use
of
the
building,
but
tell
us
about
that
basement
use
and
how
that
is
going
to
be.
A
What's
the
flow
to
ceiling
height,
what's
the
flow
to
sill
height
will
the
utilities
be
separate
and
we
notice
this
bedroom
space
in
that
basement,
so
kind
of
talk
all
that
through
with
us.
Please.
BG
Certainly,
I
also
have
the
owner,
who
himself
has
his
csl
licenses
project
manager,
maybe
answer
about
ceiling
to
floor
heights,
but
there
was
intended
to
be
two
full
means
of
egress,
both
out
of
the
unit
and
accessible
through
the
common
area.
If
you
see
the
basement
portion
of
plans,
there
is
upgrading
to
for
sprinkler
and
smoke
compliance,
the
building
will
become
fully
sprinklered
and
mechanicals
are
also
a
portion
of
that
front
portion
as
well.
Hence
the
slightly
reduced
square
footage
of
about
1200
square
feet
with
an
aggregate
footprint
of
about
13.65.
BG
But
to
answer
your
further
answer,
question
matt,
adam
chair:
there
are
accessible
fire,
accessible
window
wells
and
otherwise,
so
the
exact
height
from
floor
to
ceiling-
I'm
not
certain
of,
but
I
can
allow
the
owner
to
chime
in
but
from
what
I'm
told
is
currently
compliant
for
her
height.
A
Okay,
so
we
would
be
interested
in
floor
to
cell
and
also
is
there
a
driveway
on
this
property.
BG
Madam
chair,
there
is
currently
an
existing
driveway.
There
is
a
garage
that
services
two
vehicles,
there's
also
enough
room
for
off-street
parking.
BG
A
Okay,
do
we
have
a
plan
that
shows
how
the
parking
is
going
to
work,
because
we
just
want
to
make
sure
there's.
So
I
so?
Where
is
parking
proposed
to
be.
BG
A
BG
Madam
chair,
I
would
say
driveways
I
believe,
are
required
to
be
10
feet
in
width.
This
is
13.5
at
a
pinch
point,
so
I
would
say
that
if
vehicles
are
parked,
there
should
still
safely
be
safe
means
of
egress
out
of
windows
that
are
accessible
from
that
bedroom
or
those
bedrooms
along
that
facade.
A
Okay,
so
let
me
ask
you
about
the
third
unit,
then
tell
us
about
that
proposed
third
unit.
BG
Sure
so,
there's
a
proposal
if
you're
looking
at
the
parcel
to
add
a
shed
dormer
to
the
right
to
briefly
expand
the
existing
square
footage
in
the
attic
level.
So
the
third
unit
would
be
comprised
of
primary
living
space
on
the
third
floor
of
approximately
1346
square
feet
with
proposed
living
on
the
attic
level
of
about
647
square
feet.
So
the
aggregate
size
of
the
third
unit
will
be
1
900
and
approximately
80
square
feet.
Madam
chair.
A
Okay,
how
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
B
I
the
plans
are,
are
consistent
with
the
proposal.
I
think,
unfortunately,
I
think
the
well.
The
attic
seems
fine
for
me
in
terms
of
the
proposal,
and
I
think
it's
consistent
with
the
street.
I
think
the
the
issue
is
going
to
be
in
the
in
the
lower
level.
I
mean
it's
basically
below
grade
and
kind
of
going
against
everything
in
terms
of
how
we
think
about
these
units
being
there,
and
I
think,
while
the
driveway
might
have
a
little
extra
space,
the
window
wells
are
shown
encroaching
on
that
side.
A
Bob
did
you
want
to
say
something
from
bgd.
O
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
bob
domiko
boston
transportation
department-
I
don't
see
how
many
cars
would
be
parked
in
the
driveway,
because
if
there
were
four,
then
you
have
front
yard
parking
for
the
one
closest
to
the
street.
So
I
would
like
to
limit.
If
you
know
the
board
would
agree
to
limit
the
parking
spaces
to
three
spaces
rather
than
four.
If
that's
what
they're
proposing.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Is
anybody
here
to
speak
either
in
support
or
in
opposition
of
this
proposal?.
BH
I
asked
the
mark
the
afternoon
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
dante
peoples
here
from
the
mary's
office
neighborhood
services.
The
applicant
went
through
an
extensive
community
process
by
attending
numerous
community
meetings,
including
meetings
with
the
river
street
civic
association
on
february,
2nd
and
february
16th
in
a
buddhist
meeting
conducted
by
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
on
as
well
as
on
february.
BH
16Th
of
my
apologies
as
well
as
so
excuse
me,
meetings
with
the
river
chief
chief
association
on
february,
2nd
february
10th
and
then
a
a
butters
meeting
held
by
the
neighborhood
services
on
february
16th,
as
well
as
a
march
9th
community
meeting
with
the
edgewater
neighborhood
association.
At
all
meetings,
questions
concerns
of
your
brothers
and
neighbors
have
been
addressed.
BH
Support
shown
there
should
be
letters
from
the
river
street
civic
association
and
edgewater
neighborhood
association
on
record,
but
I
also
want
to
highlight
support
from
the
greater
matapan
neighborhood
council
as
well
support
highly
comes
from
the
home
ownership
aspect
of
proposal,
as
well
as
to
propose
changes
being
used
as
an
addition
for
the
applicant's
family
members.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
refer
to
the
judgment
of
the
board
on
this
matter.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
given
that
information
and
given
our
our
history
about
basement
units,
may
I
have
a
motion
please
I'm.
A
Any
opposed
I
opposed
so
motion
carries.
E
Next,
I'm
calling
next
case
b,
o
a
one,
two,
nine
eight
eight
one,
five,
four
zero
one:
four
washington
street
violations
of
article

insufficient

article

regulations,
takeout
use
conditional.
H
A
Now
I
don't
know
why
my
screen
just
blanks
out
but
mr
miss
allen.
BI
A
You
hear
me
now
yeah
my
screen:
okay
got
it
okay,
so
this
is
her
takeout
window.
This
was
before
this
board,
maybe
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
two
years
ago,
just
to
give
the
board
some
perspective.
A
They
built
that
829
square
feet,
front
yard
edition
and
then
came
to
this
board
for
for
forgiveness,
there
were
issues
with
noise
from
this
building,
and
then
they
were
before
us
looking
for
takeout
and
it
was
a
bit
of
a
rigmarole,
and
so
I
don't
know
what
I
don't
remember,
what
the
outcome
was
if
they
would
drew
it,
but
miss
alan
you're
back
so
tell
us
what's
being
proposed
this
time.
BI
So
we
are
back.
Thank
you
for
your
time,
just
as
before
we
are
short,
a
mere
the
frontage,
we're
short,
a
mere
five
feet,
we're
seeking
to
add
the
additional
canopy,
which
is
on
the
left
side.
BI
We've
actually
made
the
canopy
smaller
this
time
and
it's
approximately
18
by
10
that
will
accommodate
for
processing
the
takeout
orders.
It's
going
to
allow
my
client
to
create
the
additional
services
to
the
public.
BI
The
addition
that
we
are
proposing
is
consistent
with
the
character
of
the
existing
street.
The
buildings
across
the
street
come
right
up
to
the
curb
all
of
the
buildings
up
and
down
this
street,
thus
there's
no
detriment
to
the
existing
space
or
the
neighborhood.
This
is
in
harmony
with
the
neighborhood.
A
I
will
ask
you
because
I
happen
to
be
familiar
with
this
restaurant
and
I
I
think
the
last
time
we
left
it
is
our
question
to
you
was
why
couldn't
take
out
occur
through
the
building,
because
that
that
oversized
entrance
way
does
allow
you,
some
flexibility
to
do
take
out
from
an
existing
frontage.
BI
Yes
and
my
client
is
on
here
as
well,
and
he
can
also
speak
to
it.
As
you
can
see,
the
right
side
is
the
canopy
that's
already
built.
The
left
is
what
we
are
proposing,
which
I
know
one
request
prior
to
this
was
to
keep
it
handicap
accessible,
which
is
what
we
are
doing.
The
patrons
that
enter
in
on
the
right
side
enter
in
and
then
they
wait
to
be
seated,
but
the
takeout
orders
are
also
right
at
the
register
at
the
left.
BI
There's
a
build
up
with
people
now
coming
back
out
to
enjoy
dinners
in
public,
but
there's
still
a
lot
of
people
that
aren't
comfortable
still
going
out
and
he
has
an
increase
in
the
takeout
like
if
he
they
could
have
the
take-out
orders
and
the
people
will
build
up
there
and
there's
not
enough
space.
That's
allowing
that.
You
know.
A
A
This
is
the
though,
if
we
look
at
the
front
of
the
building,
that
vestibule
is
a
actual
structure,
and
so
ms
allen,
will
you
confirm
that
this
one
this
will
be
actually
a
structure
and
not
just
a
I
don't
know
a
a
canopy
in
the
usual
sense
of
the
world
of
canopy,
correct
it'll
be
a
structure,
yes,
okay,
so
this
is
pretty
much
what
we
had
seen
before.
BI
We
we
actually
it's
a
bit
different.
We
we
made
the
additional
structure
smaller
to
accommodate.
We
kept
the
employee
bathroom
upstairs
we
made
it
also
handicap
accessible
to
satisfy
the
requirements
and
some
of
the
feedback
that
we
had
received
last
time.
That
was
what
was
requested.
We've
also
been
working
with
the
neighborhood.
BI
A
Okay,
how
were
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
B
You
nailed
it,
you
you,
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
where
the
canopy
is,
but
I
understand
it's
a
it's
an
addition.
So
we're
adding
far
right-
and
this
is
a
this-
is
interior
interior
space
it.
You
know
it
is
consistent
with
the
vestibule
that
they
built
before.
So
I
think
the
the
questions
are
not
necessarily
with
the
proposal.
We
understand
what
they're
proposing.
A
Got
it
any
questions
from
the
board.
B
Not
appear
to
meet
accessibility,
the
door
looks
much
much
smaller
and
there's
only
a
four
foot:
eight
space
between
the
door
and
the
counter,
which
is
not
enough
in
terms.
W
B
To
work
from
an
maab
state
endpoint,
but
I
assume
that
would
be
fixed
by
isd
if
this
went
forward,
but
I
I
guess
we
can,
we
can
sort
of
put
some
brackets
on
if
it
goes
right.
BE
We
held
a
community
meeting
on
on
february
16th.
The
community
seemed
to
be
in
general
support
of
this
project.
They
did
have
concerns
over
the
effect
of
takeout
on
traffic,
but
that'll
be
remedied.
With
the
parking
lot.
Alan
jen
allen
did
meet
with
haley
to
come
and
decision
neighborhood
association
and
the
area.
While
I
haven't
received
any
letters
of
support,
they
did
seem
to
be
in
support
of
this
project
as
well,
and
we
would
like
to
defer
a
judgment
to
the
board.
BI
BI
A
lot
of
the
staff
will
either
come
in
and
they're
taking
the
transit,
there's
only
about
four
that
have
that
take
up
any
of
those
spots.
Okay,.
A
Hold
on
miss
ambassador
anybody
else
to
speak
on
this,
I
haven't.
I
have
no
raised
hands.
AQ
A
Okay,
may
I
have
a
motion
please.
M
C
E
Calling
next

let
me
just
make
sure
I
got

L
L
A
It
was
this
I'm
sorry,
mr
lacasse,
but
was
this
the
project
that
is
replacing
the
buy
eye
center.
A
Okay,
so
the
question
that
we
had
was
that
this
project
goes
lot
line
to
lot
line.
Yes,
it's
proposed
to
eliminate.
Was
it
three
on
street
needed
parking
spaces.
L
The
curb
cut
on
the
side
of
the
building
has
been
reduced
to
12
feet.
We've
worked
closely
with
mr
d'amico
to
minimize
that
curb
cut,
so
it
is
now
only
a
12
foot
curb
cut
on
the
side
of
the
building.
The
other
garage
access
is
on
the
rear
of
the
building.
Stop
right
here
on
this
slide,
which
is
a
private
way.
It's
called
thorn
street.
It's
a
through
street
between
the
back
of
the
proposed
new
building
and
the
building
that
you
can
see
in
the
foreground
of
the
picture
is
the
new
smith
building.
L
But
the
width
of
the
street,
together
with
the
space
between
the
buildings,
is
50
feet
from
the
rear
of
the
building,
and
you
can
see
that
the
rear
of
the
buildings
all
line
up
there,
but
the
thorn
street
distance
is
50
feet
from
the
rear.
The
second
garage
door
is
on
the
back
of
the
building
accessed
from
thorn
street,
and
then
the
side
of
the
building
is
a
12-foot
curb
cut
for
three
cars.
Three
cars
enter
on
the
side
and
three
cars
will
enter
on
the
back.
A
Okay
and
tell
us
about
the
sizes
of
the
units.
L
So
the
unit
count
is
now
10
with
one
affordable
idp
unit.
There
are
two
one
bedroom
units
ranging
in
size
from
609
to
800..
There
are
four
two
bedroom
units
that
are
all
1063
1063
square
feet.
There
are
three
three
bedroom
units
at
1455
square
feet
and
there
is
one
the
unit
on
the
top
floor,
a
four
bedroom
unit
at
2,
356
square
feet.
L
L
No,
madam
chair,
we
actually
never
got
to
the
neighborhood
public
comment
portion
of
the
hearing,
but
we
have
universal
support
for
this
project,
which
there's
also
a
street
level
retail
space
on
the
front
of
the
building
to
activate
that
the
street
level
storefront
and
that
has
been
expanded
to
wrap
around
the
corner
of
the
building
to
further
activate
the
street
front
again.
Responsive
to
community
requests
that
we
make
that
corner
as
lively
as
possible
across
the
street.
Is
the
the
new
south
end
exchange,
which
is
a
1
million
square
foot
complex
that
construction.
A
Hold
on
tell
us
is
our
roof
next
still
being
proposed.
L
L
L
But
since
the
last
hearing,
isd
has
determined
that
the
temporary
shoring
in
interior
to
the
building
is
insufficient
and
the
building
now
has
a
demolition
order
in
place.
But
we
continue
to
work
with
the
landmarks
commission
on
the
design
of
the
new
building,
as
new
structures
in
the
protection
area
are
subject
to
the
landmarks
commission
and
we
met
with
them
on
an
advisory
basis
for
their
feedback
and
the
design
that
you
see
before.
You
is
reflective
of
those
suggestions
from
the
landmarks
commission.
L
A
B
The
the
plans
are
good.
My
office
is
actually
two
blocks
down,
and
I
know
this
area
very
well.
I
think
the
the
proposed
height
is,
I
think,
is
fairly
consistent
with
albany
street
didn't
hear
the
case
before,
but
I
do
understand
the
rear
access
point.
My
I
guess
my
only
question.
B
I
think
there
was
a
question
of
the
side
and-
and
I
don't
know
if
mr
d'amico
might
want
to
speak
to
that
in
terms
of
the
side-
inch
vehicular
entrance,
but
no
other
questions
for
me
in
terms
of
the
proposal
except
for
that
access
point.
A
BJ
One
point
of
contact
good
morning.
BC
Good
morning
manager
and
members
of
the
board
kim
crusoe
from
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
the
applicant
had
in
a
buddha's
meeting,
hosted
by
our
office
in
september
of
2021,
where
sport
was
shown
by
the
brothers.
They
also
went
before
the
blackstone
franklin
square,
neighborhood
association,
where
they
receive
full
support.
The
app
can
also
receive
multiple
letters
of
support
from
about
us,
and
this
would
be
a
great
mission
and
bring
lively
witness
to
the
area
at
this
time.
Our
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board
on
this
matter.
Thank
you.
E
Madam
chair,
just
we
do
have
the
the
g-cod
letter.
Oh.
A
AG
O
A
Okay,
let's
see
if
we
have
any
more
raised
hands
and
then
the
applicant
can
respond
to
that.
A
Okay,
go
ahead,
mr
lacaze,
can
you
respond
to
that.
L
Yes,
mr
d'amico
thorn
street
indeed
is
a
new
through
street
connection
connecting
the
two
blocks.
It's
a
20-foot
wide
street.
It
is
designated
as
a
private
way,
but
it's
20
feet
wide
and
then
on
one
of
our
slides.
We
show
that
the
distance
between
the
back
of
the
proposed
new
building
and
the
smith,
which
is
the
new
100,
a
10
story,
building
along
the
street
there.
That's
that's
the
through
street
thorn
that
has
been
created
and
the
total
distance
is
50
feet
and
the
private
way
itself
is
is
20
feet.
L
A
Okay,
so,
given
that
information,
may
I
have
a
motion
please.
A
E
Okay
calling
next
case
boa

BK
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
james,
green,
I'm
an
attorney
with
reuben
and
rudman
at
53
state
street.
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
st
michael's.
Cemetery,
I
believe
in
attendance
with
me,
is
probably
michael
sheehan
from
the
cemetery
italia,
paciada
from
verdant
landscaping
and
eric
pearson.
Our
engineer
we
have
this,
as
you
see
on
your
screen,
is
the
present
photo
of
st
michael
cemetery.
A
Hold
on
mr
green,
you
might
have
missed
this,
but
we
are
a
six
member
board
and
for
approval.
You
need
all
five
members.
You
need
five
members
in
support,
so
we
are
offering,
as
we
usually
do,
deferrals
for
for
applicants
and
administrative
deferrals.
A
BK
So
st
michael's
was
formerly
the
italian
catholic
cemetery
association,
it's
located
in
jamaica,
plain
roslindale,
and
this
is
in
matapan,
ward
14..
The
cemetery
is
on
rockhill
street
canterbury
street
american
legion
highway
and
it
has
approximately
46
acres
of
cemetery
grounds.
BK
The
site
plan
you
see
in
front
of
you
is
the
landscaping
plan
for
the
12
acre
site,
which
is
bounded
by
canterbury
street
american
legion
highway,
which
is
the
greenbelt
roadway
and
walk
hill
street
located
on
the
site.
Presently
is
a
crematorium
building,
which
was
permitted
by
dep
that's
the
department
of
environmental
protection,
the
state
level
for
crematory
in
2019,
and
also
a
chapel
building
with
a
columbarium
and
a
chapel
offices
and
administrative
offices.
BK
The
project
we
propose
is
you'll,
see
outlined
and
read
on
this
photo
is
to
add
to
the
existing
chapel
building
7600
square
foot
addition
which
will
house
four
additional
crematorium
retorts
as
they
are
referred
to,
and
this
building
will
have
a
viewing
space
offices
and
so
forth.
BK
A
So
in
your
in
your
presentation,
if
you
can
speak
to
what
your
anticipated
increase
in
use
is
going
to
be
with
these
four
additional
crematorium
retorts.
So
how
many
will
there
be
in
total.
A
12,
retorts,
okay,
and
so,
if
you
can
tell
us
what
the
increase
in
capacity
is,
that
you're,
anticipating
with
this
four
additional
as
far
as
parking
and
loading.
BK
BK
A
Okay,
so
just
tell
us,
then
how
let's
see
where
so,
let's
see
so,
we
see
the
proposed
building
and
the
total
square
feet
of
the
proposed
building
is
seven
thousand
six
hundred
square
feet.
Now,
let's
about
the
anticipated
increase
in
use,
are
you
expecting
a
thirty
percent
increase?
25
percent
increase?
What
are
you
expecting.
BK
Well,
since
the
onset
of
covet
and
the
last
two
years,
crematorium
use
has
increased
most
likely
because
of
the,
and
also
because
of
the
space
for
burial
has
been
reduced,
so
this
will
be.
We
have
eight
now
we'll
with
four
additional
that's
an
increase
of,
perhaps
25
percent
okay,
I
should
say
50
to
increase
it
to
12
retorts
in
the
building.
Okay,
our
actual
capacity
is,
is
basically
at
60
capacity,
we're
not
at
full
capacity
under
the
permit
from
dep.
A
AG
BK
BK
It's
right
at
the
beginning,
so
it's
l
dash
one.
What
we
do
have
is
approximately
112
new
shrubs
and
trees
to
plant
evergreen
deciduous
ornamental.
Well,.
A
I
I
know
that
you'll
have
to
go
through
the
parks
department
on
that,
so
I'm
figuring
you're
in
safe
hands
on
that.
But
let
me
just
go
back
to
how
are
you
anticipating
the
business
to
work
so
I'm
assuming
that
I
mean
I.
I
guess
I
just
don't
know
how
many
people
come
to
view
a
to
view.
You
know
a
crematorium
activity.
BK
A
Okay,
so
I
think
you
heard
my
question:
can
you
explain
to
us
how
this
can
I
can
I
ask
everybody
who
is
shooting
us
comments
that
you
should
in
fact
wait
and
make
sure
that
your
comments
are
on
the
record
when
we
do
call
for
comments,
because
these
ones
that
you
you
shoot
to
us,
don't
necessarily
get
into
the
record,
make
sure
in
the
meantime
that
you
you
are
coordinating.
A
So
I
have
a
couple
of
people
speaking
and
each
person
gives
us
new
information,
rather
than
repeat
what
everybody
has
said
for
those
of
you
who
have
sent
in
letters
we've
seen
the
letters
we've
reviewed
the
letters
in
the
meantime,
mr
sheehan,
please
go
ahead
and
explain
to
us
how
this
is
going
to
work,
because
the
land
use
impact
that
that
is
cited
here
very
specifically,
is
off
street
parking.
So
explain
to
us
if
people
come
for
viewings
when
the
crematorium
is
is
working.
BL
Currently,
we
have
a
viewing
area
in
our
existing
crematory,
that's
very
small
in
size
and
so
we're
trying
to
further
serve
the
community
of
boston.
But
you
know
with
different
religious
groups
and
ethnic
groups
that
want
to
witness
cremations
take
place,
which
is
come
about
more
often
in
the
past
couple
of
years.
BL
BL
I
think
that's
your
question
as
far
as
in
increased
use
in
the
building.
That's
very
unpredictable
depends
on
the
rate
of
cremation
how
that
rises
within
the
next
few
years.
But
the
main
point
of
the
building
is
to
accommodate
an
area
where
families
can
witness
the
cremation
have
services
on
site.
BL
BL
We've
gone
to
the
conservation
commission
and
have
approval
and
made
all
you
know
all
the
requirements
and
conditions
that
they've
asked
us
to
follow.
A
BL
We
filed
a
permit
because
it's
about
two
years
ago
now,
with
the
dep
that's
who
monitors
our
emissions
and
we've
shared
that
with
the
neighborhood
groups.
It's
a.
I
think
it's
a
20-page
permit
that
certain
conditions
that
we
have
to
follow
very
restrictive,
and
we
also
have
our
engineer
honor,
that's
available
to
any
particular
questions
that
you
have,
but
we've
met
all
the
permitting
requirements
for
the
dep
for
the
new
required
units.
That's
where
we
started
with
the
process
and.
A
Restrictions
are
that
so
that
we
can
have
that
on
the
record.
BK
There
are
compliance
demonstrations,
there's
17
monitoring
and
reporting
testing
requirements
in
the
permit,
there's
14
conditions
for
record
keeping
in
the
permit,
and
there
are
14
special
terms
and
conditions
in
the
permit.
So
we
have
been
through
this.
Our
contribution,
if
you
will
to
the
emissions,
is
minor
compared
to
the
surrounding
area,
with
respect
to
the
modeling
that
was
done
just
to
be
submitted
to
dep,
which
was
done
based
upon
existing
conditions
from
the
monitoring
station
located
in
harrison
ave
and
at
nubian
square,
which
is
the
criteria
that
dep
uses.
BK
A
Let
me
ask
you:
let
me
ask
mr
shin:
how
often
is
dep
out
there
and
how
often
is
your
air
quality
submittals,
due
at
at
dep.
BL
There's
a
two
year
source
registration
that
we
comply
with
and
submit
that
to
dep
and
dps.
Can
you
know,
do
an
inspection
at
their?
You
know,
anytime.
That
they'd,
like.
A
And
just
to
clarify
that,
in
fact,
even
with
these
four
additional
crematorium
retorts,
you
will
still
be
functioning
at
60
capacity.
Just
to
give
your
other
other
retorts
you're
not
going
to
use
all
12
of
them.
I
clarified
for
me
that
you
will
not
be
using
all
12
of
them.
At
the
same
time,.
BL
That's
that's
a
possibility.
Our
permit
is
issued
for
operating
all
12
at
the
maximum
number
of
hours
that
they've
allowed
us
to
operate,
so
the
emissions
are
calculated
on
that.
BL
Give
the
hours
in
the
permit
jim,
I
don't,
have
the
permanent
we
have
it.
I
think
we've
submitted
the
copy
of
the
permit
to
you
as
well.
B
So
I
I
guess
I
can
only
weigh
in
on
the
architecture.
I
think
the
proposed
edition
is
consistent
with
it
and
I
understand
the
landscape
plan
and
the
proposed
parking.
So
I
have
no
questions
on
the
sort
of
proposal
of
the
buildings.
E
Just
the
first
one
so
for
the
viewings,
those
will
be
scheduled
like
like
you
can't.
You
won't
be
having
like
two
funerals
coming
in
back
to
that,
like
concurrently
right,
you'll
schedule
them,
everything
is
scheduled.
Yes,
everything's
scheduled
so
okay,
okay
and
then
with
the
retards.
E
BL
It's
it's
the
demand
of
the
day,
so
you're
not
gonna,
it's
the
demand
of
the
day.
If
you
have
several
funerals
or
several
scheduled
cremations,
then
you
use
your
equipment
based
on
what
you
need
is
a
particular
day,
subject
to
change,
subject
to
change
at
any
hour
or
any
you
know
day
so.
E
A
Okay,
so
I'm
anticipating
that
that
there
will
be
a
lot
of
hands
raised
on
this.
I
will
take
comments
from
in
addition
to
elected
officials,
to
maybe
five
residents.
So
please,
residents,
we've
seen
your
letters
as
I
said
before,
so
please
coordinate
among
yourselves.
Who
is
going
to
speak
on
your
behalf
and
anybody
who
speaks.
Please
give
us
new
information.
BH
BH
As
well
as
a
letter
of
support
sent
to
the
zoning
board
of
appeal,
however,
at
the
same
meeting
of
neighbors
neighbors
of
butters
and
neighborhood
members
of
neighbor
association
voice
concerns
regarding
possible
mercury
emissions
and
emissions
from
metals
and
or
clothing
that
the
decedent
may
wear
during
the
cremation
process.
BH
The
possibility
of
having
air
quality
monitors
being
set
up
along
american
legion
highway,
as
well
as
walk
hill
street
concerns,
with
the
possibility
of
12
retorts
operating
at
full
capacity
and
at
all
on
the
on
the
premises
as
well
as
the
outer
dispersal
area
being
4
500
feet
in
all
directions.
BH
There
was
additional
meetings
held
in
the
form
of
sidewalks
of
saint
michael
cemetery,
with
a
representative
from
greater
manipur
neighborhood
council
on
november
23rd,
then
a
meeting
with
the
greater
mattapan
nepal
council
zoning
committee
on
january
20th,
again,
additional
meetings
were
held
in
the
form
of
sight
and
of
a
sidewalk
with
mount
canterbury,
neighborhood
association,
representatives
from
mount
hope,
canterbury,
library,
association,
boston,
nature
center,
as
well
as
the
woodward
neighborhood
association
on
december
16th.
My
buddies
and
neighbors
have
shown
continued
concern
of
the
proposal.
BH
The
proposals
pop
on
possible
environmental
impacts
of
the
expansion
of
the
criminal
of
the
cremation
facilities
and
how
processed
how
processes
will
be
monitored,
butters
and
neighbors
have
shown
concern
regarding
the
fact
that
there
are
only
two
crematories
in
the
area,
st
michaels
and
forest
hills,
and
how
they
are
fairly
close
to
proximity
in
the
environmental
impacts
of
such
on
the
same
concerns
for
schools
and
facilities
in
the
area
such
as
the
haley
pilot
colony,
youth
center
and
the
clark
creek
clark,
cooper,
community
garden,
the
great
american
neighborhood
council,
mount
hope,
canterbury,
neighborhood
association
and
woodbourne
neighborhood
association
are
in
opposition
and
or
ask
for
a
referral
or
denial
of
proposal.
BH
We
would
like
to
highlight
the
permanent
approvals
and
the
permit
of
the
proposal
being
in
compliance
with
mass
dep,
the
boston
conservation
commission,
the
air
pollution
control
commission,
as
well
as
the
boston
public
health
commission,
as
well
as
the
applicant
choosing
to
adopt
a
new
policy
to
limit
to
to
attempt
to
limit
possible
mercury
emissions
from
the
cremation
process
by
talking
with
funeral
directors,
to
remove
mercury,
alloys
from
fillings
and
or
clothing
that
may
contain
metals
as
well
as
pacemakers
hit
replacements
knee
replacements
things
of
the
such
at
this
time.
A
So
the
mayor's
office
is
going
on
record.
It's
not
leaving
it
to
the
discretion
of
the
board,
correct.
A
Okay,
so
anybody
else
miss
ambassador
you'd.
AL
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
dustin
gardner
city,
councilor
warrell's
office,
we
would
like
to
commend
the
team
for
their
community
engagement,
as
mentioned
by
the
mayor's
office.
Willingness
to
meet
site
visit
explanation
of
the
process,
but
we
do
have
to
go
on
record
in
opposition,
exciting
the
the
neighbor
opposition
and
just
a
desire
for
more
localized
monitoring
of
air
quality
in
that
area
to
increase
the
amount
of
retorts
in
this
project.
H
Okay
and
rick,
the
older
you've
been
muted.
Can
you
speak
your
name
and
aggies
for
the
record?
Please.
BM
Yes,
rick
yoder,
180,
mount
hope
street
in
roslindale
from
the
amount
of
kind
of
very
neighborhood.
BM
The
the
main
problem
stems
from
the
the
mass
department
of
environmental
protection
has
close
to
a
secret
process
and
deciding
this
we
didn't
learn
for
it
was
a
year
before
we
learned
they
had
already
issued
the
permit
and
basically
no
public
input
our
opportunity
to
speak
and
go
to
meetings
to
learn,
and
we
have
already
found
one
flaw
in
their
permit
which
had
to
do
with
mercury.
They
did
not
discuss
mercury
in
their
permitting.
BM
Fortunately,
we
had
a
very
good
conversation
with
saint
michaels
about
this
and,
after
some
discussion
that
they
agreed
to
require
all
the
funeral
homes
that
use
our
their
services
to
remove
the
fillings
from
the
cadavers
that
would
have
mercury
in
them.
That
would
not
have
happened.
That
did
not
happen
through
the
ppca.
A
Mr
yoder,
can
you
please
tell
us
you
know
after
your,
you
know
your
you're
a
deeper
dive
into
this,
whether
you're
in
support
or
in
opposition
of
this
proposal.
BM
At
this
point,
I'm
in
opposition
what
we
want
to
work
with
the
cemetery
st
michaels
to
solve
some
of
these
problems,
but
we're
not
there.
Yet
there
are
other
pollutants.
We're
worried
about
that,
haven't
really
been
adequately
addressed
in
our
estimation
and
we're
we're
at
a
disadvantage
that
none
of
us
are
experts.
So
we're
doing
a
lot
of
catch-up
research
to
try
to
understand
this
and
trying
to
find
an
expert
in
the
city
would
be.
BM
A
Independent,
so
the
the
technical
expertise
at
dep
you're
questioning
them
and
the
air
pollution
control
commission
you're
questioning
their
their
veracity
too.
I.
BM
Don't
know
anything
about
the
yes,
the
city's
okay
department.
I
I
don't
want
to
be
that
severe
on
the
dp.
I
understand
they're
under
funded,
but
in
fact
that
is
what
has
happened.
A
BN
Hi
everybody,
my
name,
is
sarah
evan
colvario.
I
live
at
8
catherine
street
in
roslindale.
I
live
it's
in
the
woodward
neighborhood.
BN
A
BN
I
I
just
want
to
stress
the
fact
that
we
as
neighbors
have
really
asked
for
support
from
the
st
michaels,
which
is
a
business,
to
really
clarify
for
us
how
this
is
safe,
and
although
you
just
asked
rick
yoder
about
the
the
safety
of
dep,
just
because
one
entity
says
things
are
safe,
doesn't
mean
that
we
as
residents
and
also
schools
and
preschools
and
nature
centers,
don't
deserve
to
have
people
help
us
understand
how
this
affects
the
environment
affects
our
health.
So.
N
BN
Your
de
requesting
I
am
requesting,
on
behalf
of
the,
in
addition
to
the
neighborhood,
a
deferral
or
a
denial.
A
Okay,
let's
please,
for
any
other
people
who
have
raised
hands,
give
us
new
information,
please
and
once
you've
spoken
put
your
hand
down
only
new
information.
Okay,
thank
you.
BF
Hi,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
I
am
libba
ingram.
I
live
at
87
florian
street
in
jamaica,
plain
it's
in
the
woodburn
neighborhood
association,
and
the
only
new
information
I
would
add
is
that
when
we
say
working
with
st
michaels
and
trying
to
learn
more,
is
there
are
possibilities
for
making
the
installation
of
these
retorts
safer
to
allow
for
less
pollutions
pollutants
to
be
released
from
the
retorts?
BF
BF
H
A
Your
name
and
after
chris
will
take
one
more
person
and
then
you
know,
move
move
to
I'll
bring
closure
to
this.
H
AC
Christie
laugh,
I
live
at
15
southbourne
road,
which
is
part
of
the
woodbourne
neighborhood,
I'm
speaking
as
a
neighbor
to
the
cemetery
and
also
as
a
customer.
AC
My
funeral
director,
who
has
been
planning
the
disposition
of
my
remains
with
me,
has.
Let
me
know
that
the
st
michael
cemetery
is
the
least
expensive
option
for
cremation
and
until
until
the
state
approves
a
more
ecologically
sound
disposal
method,
that's
what
I
will
have
to
go
with,
but
I
don't
want
my
legacy
to
affect
the
health
and
well-being
of
my
neighbors
after
I'm
gone.
S
AU
H
BJ
Great,
thank
you
sorry
about
that.
My
name
is
sean
provencher
and
I'm
at
72
southport
road
not
far
away
from
the
project
requesting
a
denial
in
the
new
information
I'm
bringing
is
that
I
don't
think
anyone
has
mentioned
that
this
project
is
across
the
street
american
legion
highway
from
the
boss
of
the
mass
audubon
boston,
nature
center,
a
great
outdoor
space
that
serves
underserved
communities,
primarily
in
the
city
of
boston.
It
also
houses
a
preschool,
but
that's
the
stone's
throw
from
the
project.
Thank.
A
You
and
then
we
know
there's
that
public
school
on
american
legion,
so
yes,
we
do
get
have
a
sense
of
the
neighborhood.
Okay,
I'm
just
going
to
close
comment
from
the
community
and
opinions
from.
A
Let
me
just
go
back
and
ask
if
there
are
any
more
outstanding
questions
from
the
board.
E
Operations
of
this
expansion,
how
are
they
going
to
accommodate?
Do
they
have
room
in
in
the
expanded
facility
to
hold
decedents?
Are
they
going
to
expand.
BL
Is
there
is
a
there's,
a
storage
area
for
the
medical
examiner
to
witness
cremations
and
you're
expanding
that.
BL
A
And
mr,
can
you
please
tell
us
whether
whether
individuals
are
cremated
with
clothes
or
without
clothes,
just
so
that
we
know,
if
that's
an
additional
pollutant
into
the
air.
BL
A
BL
They
are
we.
Actually
I
heard
that
they,
the
neighborhood,
said
that
they
do
additional
requirements
or
additional
equipment
added
on
to
theirs
and
we
researched
their
permit
and
did
not
see
any
additional
equipment
that
we
don't
use
matter
of
fact.
I
think
our
standards
were
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
more
stringent
than
theirs.
A
Okay,
because-
and
you
do
have
scrubbers.
BL
We
do
not
have
scrubbers
it's,
I,
I
don't
believe,
that's
an
equipment,
that's
available.
In
addition,
too,.
A
BL
It's
you
know
where
we
purchase
the
equipment
through
a
manufacturer
and
they
do
they
do
all
the
testing,
and
it's
almost
like
you,
wouldn't
add
an
additional
piece
of
like
muffler
to
a
car
that
you
purchased.
A
Okay,
okay
board:
this
is
any
any
any
last
questions
and
then
we
get
to
a
decision
any
last
questions.
Okay,
may
I
have
a
motion.
Please.
M
A
Sarah
second,
okay,
all
those
in
favor,
aye
aye
any
opposed
motion
carries.
It
sounds
to
me
like,
like
there's
some
kind
of
communication
breakdown,
or
something
like
that,
though
I
do
do
understand
that
you've
tried.
So
please
continue
working
with
your
butters,
because,
yes,
there
is
a
need
for
this,
and
we
you
know
so.
Thank
you,
mr
reggie.
E
Very
much
for
your
time.
Yes,
thank
you
calling
well,
let's,
let's
circle
back,
we're
gonna
call
an
extension
that
see
if
the
person
ended
up
eventually
jumping
on
it
was
voa
8225
to
871
mozart
street.
Is
there
anybody
on
the
line
for
that.
