So,
currently,
the
house
is
a
two-bedroom
Ranch
and
they
want
to
raise
it
up
another
level
to
create
a
colonial.
We
essentially
a
two
and
a
half
story
home.
It's
currently
just
two
bedrooms:
they
want
to
make
it
into
four
bedrooms.
The
attic
won't
have
any
use,
except
for
storage
and
right
now,
just
a
refusal
is
for
the
inefficient
insufficient
excuse
me,
side
yard,
there's
plenty
of
backyard
space
and
all
that,
but
other
than
that.
There's
nothing
too
crazy
in
this
house
here.
E
Apologies
Madam
chair
Madam,
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
our
office
conducting
the
butters
meeting
where
neighbors
were
vocally
in
support
of
this
proposal.
The
applicant
then
went
on
to
meet
with
the
West
Roxboro
neighborhood
Council,
which
supported
the
proposal
unanimously
with
that
we
defer
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
F

So
those
two
cases
would
be
case.
Bo
first
would
be
the
case,
boa

four:
zero
one:
nine

with
the
address
of
109
to
109a,
Salem,

and
Kate,
along
with
that
would
be
case
boa
one.

with
the
address
of
111
to
1118,
Salem

right
now
we
have
right
now
the
next
available

would
be

A

Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
Danielle
Fonseca,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
and
a
Butters
meeting
was
held
on
March
22nd
for
this
proposal,
and
the
applicants
did
reach
out
to
the
West
Fairmont
Hill,
Community
Group
and
our
office
has
received
no
opposition
or
concerns
regarding
this
proposal.
So
at
this
time
we
wish
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
C
C

K

So
I
wanna
ask
the
board
to
relief
the
violation
of
waving
the
land
violation.
As
you
can
see,
our
land
is
over
seven
thousand
thousand
square
feet
of
land,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
green
space,
so
I
want
to
ask
a
relief
for
the
land
violation.
The
second
violation
I
want
to
ask
for
to
waive
is
to
family
and
one
family's
own
on
the
street.
There's
multiple
existing
multi-family
already
so
I
just
want
to
ask
the
board
to
waive
that
to
make
us
become
two
family.
K
A
K
There
is
already
existing
curve
cut,
so
we
don't
need
to
request
any
additional
curb
cut
and
we
have
plenty
of
space
to
go
in
and
out
between
the
two
cars
parking
number
two
and
parking
number
three.
So
since
this
is
already
exists,
there's
no
detrimental
to
the
neighbors
and
we
actually
taking
away
three
parking
on
the
street,
especially
this
on
the
street.
A
A
K
Do
that
it's?
Actually,
if
you
look
at
the
picture,
the
actual
picture
that
I
took
a
picture
of
the
cars,
I
s,
it's
I'm,
sorry,
you
didn't
there
I
submitted
with
the
I,
didn't
know
that
you
didn't
have
the
picture.
So
the
car,
the
parking
number
two
and
parking
number
three
can
enter
without
interference
with
each
other,
because
L
draw
the
dry
dry
way
is
wide
enough
to
allow
a
suit
Park
to
drive
into
parking
too
and
parking
three
without
interference.
C
K
C
C
C
In
terms
of
my
colleagues
just
so
they
know,
I
was
looking
at
the
zoning
viewer
and
you
are
correct
that
on
at
237
fair
amount,
even
though
it's
Zone
as
one
f9000.
I,
looked
up
at
the
assessors
and
that's
a
four
to
six
family
apartment
unit,
so
I
just
want
to
let
my
colleagues
know
that
okay,
great
I,
don't
have
any
further
questions.
K
No,
it's
actually
a
draw,
it's
actually
a
driveway,
it's
paid
and
right
now,
I'm,
I'm,
sorry,
because
I
you
didn't
have
the
picture
and
I
I
hope
I
could
share
my
screen.
It's
there's!
No
work
could
be
done.
The
the
the
the
driveway
is,
it's
paved,
the
curve
cut
is
there
and
it's
allowed
us
to
enter
a
parking
two
and
parking
three
without
needing
any
additional
work.

A

Yes,
good
evening,
Madam
chair
members

the
board,
this
is
Danielle
Fonseca,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
I,
held
in
a
Butters
meeting
on
February
16th.
One,
a
butter
that
was
present
at
this
meeting
did
have
concerns
about
some
debris
in
the
backyard
that
was
building
up,
that
they
felt
could
be
a
hazard
or
just
deemed
an
eyesore
for
them.
The
applicants
did
reach
out
to
the
Fairmount
and
West
Fairmount
Hill
Community
groups
regarding
their
proposal,
and
we've
received
no
letters
of
opposition
or
support.
F
C
K
A
N
P
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
sir
okay,
so
we're
just
asking
so
we're
building
a
deck
on
the
back
of
the
house?
It's
12
by
12.
we're
12
feet,
four
inches
from
the
third
I'm,
sorry
13
feet
from
the
property
line
of
the
fence,
and
we
had
a
Buddha's
meeting
and
we
didn't
have
any
objections
to
any
of
the
butters
objecting
to
what
we
wanted
to
propose
and
do.
J
Evening
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Danielle
Fonseca,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
and
a
Butters
meeting,
was
held
on
March
13th
and
our
office
has
received
no
opposition
or
concerns
regarding
this
proposal,
and
at
this
time
we
wish
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
C
Q
You
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Fenton
Bradley
I'm,
an
architect
representing
the
property
owned
in
this
Heron.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
My
business
address
is
234
West
Center,
Street
Unit
14
West
Bridgewater.
Today
we
are
here
seeking
relief
for
Zona
violations
that
pertains
article
69,
section
9
of
the
zoning
code.
Specifically,
we
are
seeking
various
as
the
three
aspects
assess
the
floor:
air
ratio
and
submission
side
yard.
It
is
insufficient
rare
yard.
The
Zona
sub
district
for
this
property
is
one
F.
Q
Six
thousand
existing
costs
of
allowed
in
question
measures
approximately
5220
square
feet
and
the
current
living
space
is
1224
square
feet.
We
are
seeking
relief
for
the
first
for
the
floor
area
of
violation.
The
current
Zone
allows
a
0.5.
We
are
actually
seeking
a
0.4,
so
there's
question
to
this
violation.
However,
we
acknowledge
that
this
modification
may
result
in
the
Florida
area
ratio
violation
or
we
are
seeking
confirmation
on
this
matter.
Q
Additionally,
we're
seeking
relief
for
insufficient
side
yard
to
cover
the
zoning,
requires
10
foot,
we're
proposing
six
foot,
side
yard
and
finally,
on
insufficient
rear
yard.
The
current
requires
40
and
we're
opposing
24
foot
rail
yard.
Now,
let's
discuss
the
project
itself.
The
project
involves
addition
to
the
back
of
a
residence
specifically
an
extensional
in
the
kitchen
to
create
a
family
room
on
the
first
level
and
there
will
be
a
master
bedroom
on
a
second
level.
The
intentions
is
accommodate.
The
needs
of
the
owner's
growing
third
generation
family
I.
Q
Believe
it's
important
to
note
that
the
owner
has
been
actively
involved
in
this
process
for
quite
some
time
they
have
reside
in
the
house
for
29
years.
They
have
a
genuine
need
for
expansion.
Decision
to
embark
on
this
project
is
made
at
the
careful
consideration
and
consultant.
In
fact,
the
property
owner
has
proactively
reached
out
to
his
name.
Q
The
community
groups
and
neighbors,
both
director
of
Butters,
who
are
Express
their
support
for
the
project
additionally
old
and
prepared
informational
flyer
and
successfully
acquire
signatures
for
the
plants
just
want
to
fni
is
that
fencing
barley
D21
did
not
draft
the
drawings.
For
this
project,
presentation
is
based
on
Drawn
provided
by
the
owner.
As
the
current
architect,
I
was
brought
on
to
assist
with
disorder
relief
aspect.
With
that
I
conclude
my
presentation
available
to
address
any
questions.
C
Q
J

R
R
Hi
my
good
evening,
my
name
is
Stefan
gillians
I'm,
the
owner
of
109
Bateman
Street.
What
I'm
proposing
is,
as
you
look
at
the
drawing
it's
right
now,
it's
a
single
family
home.
It's
one
story
on
I'm
trying
to
do
it's
still
going
to
stay
as
a
single
family.
What
I'm
trying
to
do
two-story
with
a
master
bedroom
master
bathroom
upstairs
with
two
additional
bedroom
and
the
second
level
the
violation
I
have
on
this
home
is,
on
the
left
hand,
side
to
my
neighbor,
it's
under
10
feet
and
the
new
proposal.
R
I
did
it
that
the
new
proposal
in
conform
with
the
10
feet
from
the
left
side
of
my
neighbor,
so
I'm
trying
my
best
to
do
to
accommodate
for
the
setback
that
I
don't
have
on
the
existing
right
now
and
the
next
violation
I
have
is
on
the
front
where
the
front
should
be
27
feet
away
from
the
street.
Now
I.
Don't
have
that,
but
I'm
not
doing
any
extra
work
on
the
front.
It's
just
gonna
be
at
the
the
back
and
also
I'm
going
on
going
up
one
story.
A
F
C
C
S
C
But
that
is
walk
out
correct
to
it
should
be
a
walkout
to
the
grade.
Yes
on
the
exterior.
Yes,
so
you
have
two
means
of
egress:
one
is
from
the
from
that
outside
and
then
going
up
the
stairs.
Yes,
okay
and
then
to
answer
your
question.
Madam,
chair,
yes,
most
of
the
most
of
the
neighborhood
is
one
one
and
a
half
stories.

R

Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Danielle
Fonseca
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
applicants
completed
the
community
process
on
March
29th
and
they
notified
all
the
abutters.
We've
received
no
letters
of
opposition
or
support
at
this
time
for
this
proposal.
So
at
this
time
we
registered
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
A
N
B
T
T
So
in
September
of
2020,
my
client
Mr
hanowsky
had
to
remove
a
a
pre-existing
deck
off
the
back
of
his
property
as
a
result
of
a
failing,
retaining
wall
that
that
a
contractor
that
he
hired
discovered
and
it
kind
of
set
off
a
chain
of
events
where
the
the
retaining
wall
was
failing,
causing
the
deck
to
pull
away
from
the
house.
And
then
the
deck
was
also
supporting
a
three
season
porch
on
the
from
the
backyard
on
the
second
floor
of
the
property.
T
So
he
he
got
the
retaining
wall,
work
done
and
then
this
is
the
process.
To
finish,
you
know,
fixing
his
backyard
to
replace
the
deck
and
the
reason
why
why
we're
here
is
that
there's
a
10-foot
setback
in
this
District
he
initially
applied
for
a
building
permit.
You
know
before
retaining
my
services
and
was
unaware
that
he
first
needed
permission
from
the
board
to
reconstruct
his
non-conforming
deck,
so
the
building
permit
was
denied.
T
You
know,
aerial
photographs
and
other
pictures
that
show
what
it
used
to
look
like
and
there's
an
aerial
photograph
that
shows
that
the
original
deck
was
basically
right
up
on
the
property
line.
Probably
you
know
from
bird's
eye
view,
a
foot,
foot
and
a
half
away
and
as
you
see,
the
deck
here
is
about
seven
feet
away
and
then
there's
a
bump
Out
close
to
the
side
of
the
property
where
it
provides
access
to
the
backyard
as
it
stands.
T
E
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Conor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
and
Neighborhood
Services,
this
town
mayor's
office
refer
to
the
judge
from
this
board.
Our
office
held
in
a
Butters
meeting
where
Noah
Butters
were
in
attendance.
The
applicant
then
went
on
to
meet
with
the
civic
association,
which,
in
this
area
is
the
Pope's
Hill.
They
had
no
concerns
with
the
proposal
and
our
office
later
received
one
letter
of
support
with
that
we
referred
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
T
If
I
may
just
quickly
I
know
the
neighborhood
is
the
neighborhood
association
received
one
letter
of
support.
We've
we've
included
two
that
were
submitted
directly
to
Mr,
hanyaski
and
importantly
they're,
the
two
directed
butters
on
either
side
that
would
be
most
affected
by
this
project.
So
that's
also
in
the
board's
record.
Thank.
L
N
N
U
Yes,
my
name
is
Trevor
Blake
I'm,
the
contractor
for
26
Speedwell,
my
clients
purchased
the
property,
and
the
basement
was
a
usable
space
at
the
time.
However,
through
the
the
permit
process,
we
found
out
that
the
basement
was
never
done
legally
and
so
we're
seeking
relief
to
allow
us
to
use
the
basement
as
part
of
the
first
floor
unit.
U
It's
it's
it's
it's.
We
have
two
bedrooms
down
there
in
a
bathroom
and
a
laundry
facility
which
would
be

a
short
form
that
we've

working
on

needed
to
legalize

We
we
put
in

realized
we
had

relief.

Madam

I'm

Forbes,
Road,
Braintree,
Massachusetts
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
owners
of
34
McBride
Street.
This
project
is
proposal
to
erect
a
second
story
addition
onto
an
existing
single-family
home
in
a
3F
5000
District
in
Jamaica
Plain.
The
addition
would
include
a
new
primary
bedroom,
full
bathroom
and
expanded
existing
bedroom.
On
the
second
floor,
the
proposed
Edition
would
total
409
square
feet,
bring
the
total
structure
size
to
1937
square
feet.
X
We
were
cited
for
one
violation
of
the
zoning
code,
that
is,
for
a
side
yard.
Setback
according
to
the
code
structure,
must
be
seven
feet
from
the
side,
Lot
line
and
10
to
feed
from
the
existing
structure
on
an
abutting
lot.
Our
West
setback
is
four
four
feet
and
ten
inches
and
five
feet
nine
inches.
This
is
a
pre-existing
non-conformity.
The
house
exists
at
the
setback.
Currently,
the
addition,
as
proposed
would
not
affect
the
setback.
It
would
neither
increase
it.

29.
in
this
case,
where
any
increase
to
the
existing
roof
requires
zoning
relief.
Although
we're
well
under
the
40-foot
allowable
height
for
the

we're
also
being
excited
for

the

is
1.1

Although
we
have
close,
we
have
about
39

we're
being

for

and
overall
length
still
able

fit
one

potentially
two

we
feel
if

There's
other

the

referred
to

had
some
concerns
regarding
drainage,

the

AE
AE
This
is
a
proposal
to
renovate
an
existing
one
family
dwelling
by
adding
shed
Dormers
to
both
the
left
and
the
right
hand
side
of
the
structure,
while
maintaining
the
original
slope,
design
and
height.
There
will
also
be
a
rare
addition,
along
with
garage
parking
for
one
vehicle
and
a
dedicated
paved
area
in
the
rear
lot
for
a
second
vehicle.
The
project
has
undergone
landmark's
review
and
has
been
accepted
by
landmarks.
AE
We
are
in
a
multi-family
residential
sub
district
with
the
lot
size
of
approximately
4
795
square
feet.
If
I
can
direct
you
to
page
13
of
the
plants,
this
will
be
the
first
floor
to
the
left
of
the
entrance.
There
will
be
an
outside
patio,
surrounded
by
new
trees
to
be
less
visual
from
the
street.
Within
the
structure,
there
will
be
an
open
living
room,
dining
room
and
kitchen
to
the
rear
will
be
a
pantry
mud
room
with
a
half
bath.
AE
AE
This
parking
scheme
triggers
two
violations:
first,
violation
being
access,
Drive
width
is
less
than
10
feet.
This
access
is
a
pre-existing
passageway
by
the
name
of
Gene
way,
which
is
a
private
way.
All
of
budding
owners,
including
this
property
owner,
have
deeded
rights
to
use
this
nine-foot
passageway
for
vehicular
traffic
and
the
same
manner
as
every
other
owner.
Has
they
access
this
current
passageway
to
access
the
rare,
their
properties
for
parking
as
well.
The
second
violation
that
we
do
have
that
was
triggered
maneuvering
areas
on
own
lot.
AE
As
the
plans
show,
we
will
have
to
reverse
out
onto
deem
way
to
exit
the
premises
safely.
I
want
to
point
out
that
Dean
way
again
is
a
private
way
maintained
by
all
property
owners
who
have
a
deeded
right
to
passage
and
other
property
owners
that
have
this
right
of
passage.
Use
this
passageway
in
the
same
manner
as
this
property
owner
will
do.
If
I
could
direct
you
to
page
14,
please.
This
was
the
second
floor
layout.
AE
There
will
be
a
master
bedroom
second
bedroom
and
an
office
between
the
bedrooms,
there's
a
small
Lounge
area
that
will
lead
into
an
outdoor
porch
next
page
I'm.
Sorry,
yes,
nope
should
be
page
yeah
right
here.
This
is
this
14
yep,
page
14,
right
here
third
floor
is
on
page
15,
another
bedroom
with
office
in
a
family
room
that
leads
to
an
outdoor
porch
area.
The
remaining
violations
that
we
were
cited
for
is
we
have
a
root
structure
restriction.
We
are
adding
Dormers
to
both
the
left
and
the
right
hand.
AE
Side
as
well
as
the
proposed
three-story
Edition
in
the
rear,
is
what
triggered
it.
We
do
have
an
insufficient
side
yard.
The
left
side
of
the
property
is
complying
at
three
feet,
but
the
right
side
is
a
one
foot
budding
the
private
way
called
deanway,
which
is
also
pre-existing
violation.
We
have
an
extension
into
the
rear
yard
of
a
thousand
square
feet
or
more
as
the
addition
that
we're
building
is
approximately
1334
square
feet
and
the
last
violation
that
we
were
cited
for
is
insufficient
rear
yard.
AE
B
B
AE
8Th,
okay,
so
I,
my
assumption
is
that
perhaps
may
have
been
his
comments
related
to
the
first
set
of
plans
where
they
were
showing
some
tandem
spots
that
were
actually
pulling
in
and
again
we
we've
removed
some
of
those
locations
due
to
the
deferral
and
working
together
with
the
neighbors
and
it
cleared
up.
You
know
some
potential
issues
with
the
neighbors
of
the
tandem
spaces
as
well,
and
then
we
allow
for
one
in
the
rear,
so
I'm,
not
I,
I,
think
maybe
more
or
less
his
his
direct.
AA
Evening
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
Anna
white,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services

hosted
two
of
Butters
meetings
for
924
East
4th

one
on
November,
28th
2022,
and
one
on
May
10
2023,
both
at
around
a
dozen
of
Butters
between
the
two
meetings,
the
proponent
made
changes
to
the
proposed
building
based
on
community
feedback
and
feedback.
Excuse
me
feedback
from
the
landmarks
commission.
The
proponent
answered
all
questions
and
responded
to
concerns
about
Pest,
Management
and
shared
responsibility
for
the
private
way
behind
the
property.
AA
Concerns
were
raised
about
vehicle
maneuverability
in
the
private
way.
Ons
has
received
one
letter
of
opposition
and
three
letters
of
support
from
abutters.
The
proponent
has
been
in
contact
with
the
city
Point
neighborhood
association.
At
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
Hi
hi,
this
is
Laura
toledana
from
Coastal
president's
office.
Again,
I
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support
based
on
feedback
and
support
letters
received
from
The
Neighbors
in
a
Waters.
Moreover,
there
were
compromises
on
both
sides
during
the
community
process.
Regarding
the
Porsches
closet
space
in
a
outdoor,
fireplace
to
name
a
few
console,
president
Flynn
respectfully
requests
that
the
proponent
continues
to
work
closely
with
the
neighbors
on
any
quality
of
life
issues
that
may
arise
during
the
construction
phase.
Thank
you.

AG
Yes,
I
was
my
name,
is
Kevin
Joyce
I'm,
an
attorney
with
Doherty
Law
Offices
at
50,
Franklin
Street
in
Boston
I'm,
representing
the
property
owners
and
about
us
at
9,
18
to
920
East
4th
Street
in
14
way.
Government
of
our
position
is
that
the
parking
configuration
is
presently
presented
not
being
contained
to
the
lot,
as
is
required
by
the
zoning
code,
has
the
potential
for
causing
significant
public
safety
issues
on
Dean
deanway,
which
is,
which
is
a
very
narrow
private
way.
AG
Parking
is
not
a
requirement
of
a
renovation
over
one
family
building,
which
is
just
supposed
to
be.
There's
never
been
parking
on
this
particular
site.
It
is
on
the
Mass
housing,
historic
Commission
list
and
the
configuration
just
doesn't
work.
It
just
doesn't
fit
the
neighborhood
and
it
just
doesn't
fit
the
confines
of
of
Dean's
way,
especially
when
there's
no
parking
requirement.
AG
You
know
straight
out:
it's
just
going
to
cause
a
public
safety
hazard,
the
code
responsibility
to
a
lot
to
protect
Public,
Safety
and
potential
for
damage
to
property
and
personal
injury.
There
is
able
on-street
parking
on
East
4th,
Street
and
yeah.
There's
no
requirement
for
the
parking
and
the
way
it's
recently
configured
it.
We
believe
it's
a
safety
hazard
and
will
severely
impact
the
ability
of
people
to
come
and
go
on
being
away
without
any
set
of
interference.

president
City
Point
neighborhood
association,
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
that
the
issue
with
this
property
right
now
seems
to
be
the
parking.
The
proponent
has
worked
through
several
of
the
neighborhood
issues
regarding
height
density
decking
in
the
rare
yard
Edition.
So
with
that
the
proponent
did
not
come
before
the
city
Point
neighborhood
association,
and
we
just
want
to
go
on
record
now
saying
that
we
will
take
no
opposite.
I
mean
no
position.
Thank.

So
it's
already
kind
of
an
example
condition
and
then
Madam
chair,
just
I
had
a
chance
to
review
the
two
parking
layout
structures.
The
the
two
parking
proposals,
the
previous
and
the
current
one
and
the
maneuverability
has
improved
from
the
previous
one.
So
and
then
also
the
bpda
commons
seems
like
it's
referring
to
the
older
set,
but
there
has
been
significant
preservations
of
the
existing
facade
which
I
like
which
is,
which
is
a
good
Improvement.

That's
exactly,
there
was
a
point
that
I
wanted
to
make
too.
That
was
that
was
just
brought
up.
Is
that
currently
there
is
active
traffic,
there's
approximately
about
five
neighbors,
who
have
this
deeded
passageway
that
currently
are
using
it
for
their
vehicles
as
well.
So
my
client
will
not
be
using
it
in
any
different
manner
than
what
they
are
needed
for,
just
like
the
other
neighbors.
