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

Mr
Collins
president
Mr
Aiken
I'm
here.
Thank
you
close
yours,
Mr
stenbridge,.

B
Hearing
done
we
will
move
on
to
the
next
case
is
VOA
1447970.
B
And
bear
with
me
because
they
are
read
this
in
a
companion
case,
also
the
address
being
104
Walter
Street
and
the
companion
case
to
that
is
case.
Boa.
B
D
E
Can
you
hear
us
hi
good
morning,
I'm
here
as
a
representative
of
habitat
Community
Greater
Boston
I'd
like
to
at
this
time
turn
it
over
to
our
attorney
Kyle?
Yes,.
A
A
F
Perfect,
so
my
name
is
Kyle
Smith
business
address
of
339
Newbury
Street,
it's
the
terror
law
on
the
Back
Bay.
What
we
have
here,
the
city
has
put
out
an
RFP.
This
has
been
a
long-standing
project
about
two
plus
years
in
the
pipeline,
for
which
local
neighborhood
groups
position
the
city
to
try
to
acquire
this
land
which
the
city
ultimately
then
did.
So.
This
is
currently
a
separate
of
an
RFP
for
which
Habitat
for
Humanity
was
one
of
two
applicants.
F
It
was
ultimately
the
elected
or
selected
RFP
recipient
there's,
currently
an
existing
single-family
structure
on
site,
which
is
kind
of
in
the
footprint
of
the
left
building
and
then
to
the
rear.
There
is
a
existing,
but
essentially
a
dilapidated
garage
structure.
So
the
proposal
is
to
take
the
existing
single-family
home
renovated
into
a
two-family
dwelling.
That's
what
you
see
in
the
front
left
of
the
slide
deck
in
front
of
you
and
then
to
erect
a
a
new
structure
to
the
rear
here,
which
would
also
then
have
two
units.
F
So
the
proposal
is
to
take
a
existing
larger
parcel
with
a
single
family
home
to
obtain
to
renovate
into
two
units.
In
the
existing
structure
and
then
added
two
to
the
rear,
so
we
have
a
alt
permit,
which
is
the
subject
of
our
104
Walther
Street,
which
is
the
alteration
of
the
pre-existing
structure.
And
then
there
is
a
second
effectively
a
permit,
an
ERT,
an
erection
permit
for
the
proposal
to
the
rear.
F
So
we
effectively
have
two
sister
projects:
one
alt
number
one
ERT
number,
but
we're
you
know
treating
them
as
as
two
such
a
function
that
in
fact
we
are
on
a
single
piece
of
land.
So
the
proposal
is
for
four
off-street
parking
spaces
with
four
total
units
and
I
guess
you
want
me
to
approach
104,
Walter
Street
and
its
associated
refusals.
F
A
open
space
insufficiency
in
aggregate,
we
have
a
off-street
parking
loading
requirement
just
because
of
orientation
and
maneuverability.
In
Roslindale
we
have
a
requirement
to
work
two
parking
spaces
per
dwelling
unit,
which
would
be
eight
Niagara.
We
are
proposing
four.
This
is
proposed
to
be
a
100,
affordable,
housing
project,
overseen
and
constructed
by
a
Habitat
for
Humanity,
so
there
are
slightly
reduced,
affordable
housing,
parking
requirements
or
dwelling
unit
pursued
to
The
Cove,
at
least
by
the
requisite
number.
F
We
have
a
excessive
number
of
stories
in
the
existing
104
parcel
with
is
104
building
with
three
total
stories,
and
then
we
have
effectively
side
yard
insufficiencies
for
what
we're
being
pre-existing
non-conformities,
and
that
is
largely
for
104
Walter,
the
pre-existing
structure,
the
structure
to
the
rear,
the
proposed
new
construction.
Again,
we
have
an
aggregate
open
space,
insufficiency
off-street
parking.
Again.
We
have
four
proposed
spaces
for
four
proposed
units,
and
then
we
have
a
side
art
insufficiency
to
our
our
left.
F
We
also
have
a
rear
yard
insufficiency
I,
just
knowing
that
we
have
a
pre-existing
garage
to
be
raised,
a
new
structure
to
be
erected
and
proposing
to
make
those
existing
setbacks.
Less
egregious
by
giving
more
deference
and
more
space
to
both
left
side
and
also
to
the
rear.
F
No
I
would
just
say
that
you
know
we
will
have
testimony
from
ons,
but
there
has
been
a
significant
Community
engagement
here
and
we
have
a
lot
of
wide
sitting.
Support
in
this
being,
you
know
brought
to
the
you
know
collaborative
efforts
of
many
local
neighborhood
groups,
so
we
are
I
think
well
positioned
with
a
lot
of
good
neighborhood
support.
Thank.
A
You
without
any
questions
from
the
board.
B
Yes,
Madam
chair:
yes,
if
for
each
building
the
two
families
or
is
it
one
and
one
is
one
question
and
secondly,
the
size
of
the
units
in
terms
of
square
footage
yourself,.
F
Yes,
so
the
proposal
is
to
have
two
buildings
with
two
units:
each
four
units
in
aggregate
which
will
be
a
end
for
condominium
and
Home
Ownership,
again
all
affordable
housing
if
you've
received
into
inside
of
the
slide
deck.
If
you
go
up,
there
is
a
nice
breakdown
of
the
prospective
units
and
their
blend
of
beds
and
bats
and
square
footage.
So
in
the
existing
structure,
will
have
two
both
two
beds,
one
being
a
one
back,
the
other
one,
being
a
one
and
a
half
bath.
F
The
first
unit
at
two
bed,
one
bat
is
proposed
to
be
936
square
feet,
the
other
unit
being
two
beds,
one
and
a
half
bath
and
about
1600
square
feet,
and
then,
in
the
new
structure,
proposed
to
have
a
three
bed
one
and
a
half
bath
and
about
a
thousand
twenty
seven
square
feet
and
then
the
fourth
unit,
the
second
unit,
the
rear
structure
being
two
bed,
one
bat
at
840
square
feet.
H
Wow,
why
such
a
large
1600
square
feet,
foot
two
bedroom.
F
Based
upon
orientation
and
configuration
of
the
unit,
it's
logistically
makes
most
sense
to
tie
in
the
second
and
third
floor
in
the
pre-existing
structure,
which
then
lends
itself
to
a
you
know
much
larger
unit
in
the
fact
that
it
is
located
on
both
these
second
and
third
floor.
The
first
unit
is
effectively
a
larger
footprint
but
first
floor
only.
F
Yeah,
so
there
is
a
prospective
Landscaping
plan
in
place.
We
do
have
direct
interfacing
would
be
a
butter
to
our
left.
Our
most
impacted
there's
been
a
lot
of
requests
for
applicable.
You
know,
screening
and
or
buffering
this
also
butts
conservation
land
to
the
right
and
to
the
rear.
So
the
city
is
looking
to
develop
that
to
provide
access
to
this
you
know
rear
conservation,
land
so
between
City's
efforts,
habitats
efforts
and
specifically
trying
to
work
and
engage
with
our
impact
of
the
butter
to
our
left.
F
H
F
Correct
well,
we
do
have
a
a
certain
drive
again
given
the
depth
of
the
drive
and
the
proposed
rear
structure.
We've
had
a
lot
of
interfacing
with
the
fire
department,
so
we
have
a
widen
drive
on
our
parcel,
but
to
your
point,
yes
to
the
immediate
right,
as
proposed
to
be
a
a
walkway
that
will
be
developed
by
the
city
in
combination
with
other
state
entities
for
access
to
the
rear
conservation.
F
I,
do
not
I'm
not
certain
of
that
question.
I
apologize,
I,
believe
so
in
light
of
the
fact
that
the
city
has
come
to
control
this
parcel
and
that
on
the
side,
plane
would
indicate
the
entity
that
controls
that
partial,
but
I
will
work
to
confirm
for
you,
okay
and
and
Jerry.
Also
on
the
line
too,
who
is
project
manager?
He
also
may
be
able
to
buy
on
that
too
Jerry.
You
haven't
really
answer
that
question.
H
F
Between
I'm,
not
certain
on
BTD,
but
as
far
as
the
fire
department
is
concerned.
Yes,
there's
been
a
lot
of
oversight
in
relation
to
the
depth
and
to
the
width
based
upon
access
and
need
more
fire
trucks
and
related
personnel
and
equipment
to
be
able
to
access
the
rear
structure
in
the
event
of
emergency.
A
A
Okay,
we're
gonna
keep
going
until,
let's,
let's
have
public
testimony.
J
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office,
Neighborhood
Services,
the
son
of
Mary
sausage,
to
deferred
to
the
judge
from
this
board.
As
you
heard
from
the
Appleton's
representation,
there's
been
a
significant
Community
engagement
period
over
the
past
few
years.
The
Roslindale
Wetlands
task
force
and
Longfellow
area
neighborhood
association
have
been
heavily
involved,
but
not
limited.
J
J
I
understand
that
the
applicant
has
continued
to
work
with
that
family
to
address
some
of
those
concerns
regarding
screening
and
buffering,
and
then
we
received
a
letter
from
the
Longfellow
area,
neighborhood
association
this
morning,
which
was
forwarded
to
the
board
on
outline
their
reasons
for
supporting
The
Proposal
with
that
we'll
defer
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
K
L
All
Jim
members
of
the
board
Paul
Solomon
from
city
council
Flaherty.
This
is
going
through
a
robust
communal
process.
Specifically
land
has
been
very
involved.
The
parcel
itself
having
been
now.
N
O
I'm,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Kathy
McCabe
I'm,
the
president
of
the
Longfellow
area,
neighborhood
association.
We
enthusiastically
and
strongly
support
both
applications,
and
we
in
the
neighborhood
call
this
the
104
108
Walter
Street
project,
because
it
really
started
as
a
combined
project.
104
Walter
is
our
vision
for
advancing
Equity
with
four
units
of
affordable
housing.
O
The
joining
parcel,
which
was
originally
37
000
square
feet
plus,
was
the
largest
privately
owned
parcel
in
the
Roslindale
wetlands
and
was
acquired
by
the
city,
and
that's
where
the
walkway
is
the
Conservation
Commission
and
part
of
our
request
for
being
able
to
have
two
structures
with
four
units
of
affordable
housing
is
so
that
our
land
could
be
maximized
for
the
Roslindale
Wetlands
Urban
wild
area,
which
is
a
10
plus
acre
on
designated
Conservation
Area.
So
we
strongly
urge
you
to
approve
all
variances
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
help.
P
Good
morning
my
name
is
Angie
Kaya
I'm,
an
immediate
provider
to
104
Walter
and
108
Walter.
We
live
at
100
Walter.
We
are
excited
about
the
potential
that
this
project
holds.
We
do
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
we
are
as
immediate
a
Butters
in
a
position
that
will
be
impacted
most
strongly.
The
setbacks
are
something
that
we
are
working
with:
the
habitat
and
their
colleagues
on
right
now,
right
now
we
are
still
working
on
a
resolution
on
a
way
that
setbacks
will
be
amicable
to
both
sides.
P
But
as
it
stands
now,
it
is
a
very
large
unit
that
is
really
pushing
on
the
borders
between
the
two
units.
We
also
have
some
question
marks
that
we've
raised
ahead
of
this
call
to
Little
habitat
folks
about
the
increased
traffic
and
the
increased
risk
in
traffic
that
it
poses
to
Walter
Street,
and
anybody
who
drives
there
not
just
for
today
and
tomorrow,
but
for
50
50
60
80
100
years
now.
Thank
you
comes
a.
Q
P
Than
regular,
it
basically
increases
the
traffic
flow
in
an
area
where
there's
basically
very
limited,
visibility
and.
R
Good
morning
my
name
is
Cindy
Peterson
Council
of
distributions
office.
I
would
like
to
go
on
a
prepared.
T
C
U
Good
morning,
can
everybody
hear
me
yes,.
U
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
good
morning,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Louis
Croswell
and
I'm.
Looking
for
a
variance
for
my
property
over
at
30
Arlington
Street
to
make
the
basement
unit
an
actual
unit,
it's
going
to
be
conformed
of
three
bedrooms,
two
baths
and
it's
going
to
be
very
similar
to
the
other
units
on
the
first
second
and
third
floor.
U
There's
a
couple
of
you.
Zoning
issues,
which
is
one
of
them,
is
the
non-conforming
use.
The
users
are
forbidden
law,
Advantage,
floor
area
ratio,
Building
height,
unusable
it's
open,
space
and
front
yard.
Insufficient.
A
So
Mr
Crespo:
can
you
walk
us
through?
What
is
the
basement
currently
used
for
what
is
the
ceiling
height,
egress
and
windows,
or
a
natural
light
situation?
Yeah.
U
So
the
because
of
the
grade
of
the
of
the
street
from
Arlington
to
Davidson
street,
the
basement
unit
still
has
the
same
size
on
Windows
as
the
other
units,
which
I
believe
they're
36
by
54.
as
far
as
egress.
If
you
can
look
on
the
plans
for
the
stairs
yep
right
over
there,
so
the
set
of
stairs
from
the
right
side
side
that
go
in
through
the
other
units
it's
going
to
have
access
to
that
basement
unit.
U
There
is
a
sprinkler
room
on
the
basement
that
Services
the
whole
house
and
then
there's
an
egress
at
the
rear
of
the
building,
which
is
where
the
decks
are.
So
there
will
be
an
entrance
and
an
egress
form
for
that
unit.
As
far
as
ceiling
height,
it
will
be
the
same
ceiling
height
as
the
other
unit
will
be
eight
three
eight
feet:
three
inches.
V
Yes
quickly,
could
you
just
tell
us
a
little
bit
more
about
this
request?
What's
the
purpose
of
going
from
a
three
family,
two
or
four
families,
is
your
house
just
a
little
bit
more
information
about
the
nature
of
why
this
is
required?
Thank
you.
U
Yeah,
so
this
is
my
house
and
I
currently
own.
It
I
currently
moved
out
of
that
house,
but
I
was
I'm
looking
for
the
potential
to
build
another
unit
in
the
basement
to
just
maximize
the
use
of
the
building.
Just
given
the
grade
of
the
of
the
street
level
and
there's
other
properties
in
the
near
intermediate
area
that
are
for
families
as
well
and
as
far
as
the
parkings
I
know,
parking
is
a
big
issue
in
the
city.
Now,
there's
plenty
of
parking
space
to
accommodate
for
this
unit.
G
U
V
Is
there
any,
will
there
be
any
store?
The
units
don't
look
like
they
have
any
any
extra
storage
space
where,
where,
where
can
folks
keep
things
well,.
U
Access
to
the
basement
as
of
right
now,
they
do
have
a
like
a
closet
in
the
immediate,
like
living
room
area
with
a
lot
of
the
tents
store,
whatever
they
have,
but
as
far
as
storage
in
the
basement.
There's
none
as
of
right
now
and
that
hasn't
been
an
issue
with
the
tenants
over
the
years.
W
X
X
Yes,
I
I
want
to
apologize.
Madam
chair
had
a
problem,
a
moody
man
I'm
using
myself,
the
last
cakes
but
I
haven't
seen
a
parking
plan
for
this
this
project
and,
if
possible,
I
would
like
to
review
the
parking
plan
just
to
make
sure
that
it
works,
and
it's
not
there's
a
not
an
overabundance
of
parking
because
of
you
know,
screening
and
buffering,
and
things
of
that
nature.
X
A
J
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
defer
to
the
judge
from
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
Our
office
element
voters
being
on
April
15th,
we're

group,
and
no
concerns
were
also
brought
forth
to
our
office
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
refer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
J
P
Good
morning,
I
had
a
question
about
the
parking
spots
the
owner
indicated
that
they
have
13
spots
that
served
the
building
next
door
or
the
structure
next
door.
So
how
many
units
are
in
that
building.
A
So,
just
to
confirm
folks
are
giving
public
testimony
for
or
against
we're,
not
asking
additional
questions
at
this
time.
Jessica
are
there
any
other
motivational
raised
hands?
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Any
other
questions
from
the
board.
B
T
AB
Well,
yes,
my
name
is
Keith
hensman
and
I,
prepared
the
drawings
for
Liam
and
his
family
and
actually
I.
Think
Liam
may
be
sharing
the
screen
now
and
he's
quite
versatile
at
talking
about
his
project.
The
main
bit
of
relief,
we're
looking
for
is
side,
yard,
insufficient
and
so
the
existing
home.
You
can
see
here
on
the
plot
plan
and
the
proposed
Edition
is
on
the
left
side
driveway
inside
there,
and
so
this
is
where
the
side
yard,
with
the
insufficient
so
Liam.
AB
You
can
see
the
small
overhang
there
and
steps
to
grade
and
creates
a
full
bath
on
that
first
floor
at
the
basement
level,
it
just
provides
additional
storage
for
yard
use
such
as
a
snow
blower
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
then
on
the
top
floor
there.
This
creates
a
space
for
an
additional
bedroom
for
their
family.
So
you
can
see
this
is
an
existing
single
family,
home
Liam
and
its
family
are
a
long
time.
Residents
of
Minot,
Street
and
they'd
like
to
continue
living
there
and
make
space
for
their
young
family.
J
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor,
soft's
Neighborhood
Services,
the
sun
mayor's
office
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process,
our
office
hosting
a
Butters
meeting
where
two
abutters
were
in
attendance.
One
of
butter
expressed
their
strong
support
for
the
proposal,
the
applicant
they
went
on
to
meet
with
the
Ashmont
Adams
group,
who
voted
in
support
of
this
proposal.
Now
with
that
we'll
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
AC
No
I'm,
actually
432
Galvin,
Boulevard,
I
guess
I
was
muted
I
couldn't
get
get
to
you
exactly
well.
A
Addition
of
these
things,
thank
you,
would
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
T
A
Valencia,
yes,
Miss
panado,
yes,
Mr
Collins,
yes,
Mr
Aiken,
yes,
chair,
also
votes.
Yes,
motion
carries
good
luck.
B
AD
A
Yes,
can
you
walk
us
through
the
proposal?
Okay,.
AC
Sure
again,
my
name
is
Christopher.
Walsh
I
am
the
contractor
and
representative
for
OC
Douglas
I
live
in
West
Bridgewater
Massachusetts,
and
we
are
here
today
to
to
ask
for
variance
from
two
Zone
code
violations:
floor
area
ratio
excessive
and
side
guy
insufficient.
The
owners
purchased
this
property
many
years
ago
with
an
existing
basement
completely
remodel.
AC
It
had
a
kitchen
and
a
bedroom
about
a
year
ago,
or
two
years
ago
we
renovated
the
house,
on
the
first
floor
of
the
kitchen
and
the
the
building
inspector
requested,
that
we
file
for
an
approval
for
the
I.
Don't
know
I'm
sorry
legalization
of
the
basement
unit,
not
unit,
they
spent
space.
AC
So
we
did
that
and
it
was
denied,
as
as
I
said,
for
two
items
on
the
list.
The
basement,
as
I
said,
was
completely
modeled.
When
the
the
owners
purchased
the
property.
The
basement
space
is
vital
to
the
family.
They
do
have
extended
family
living
with
them,
mother
and
father,
elderly,
mother
and
father,
as
well
as
an
autistic
child
who
needs
the
basement
unit
to
meet
with
daily
with
therapists.
AC
So
we're
asking
respectively,
asking
for
variance
from
The
Zone
code
violations
and
they
do
have
Osprey
parking
and
again
existing
situation
of
which
they
purchased
the
property,
as
is,
and
that's
basically,
what
we're
going
to
try
to
do
we're
going
to
get
rid
of
the
existing
kitchen
and
we're
going
to
change
it
to
a
bathroom
and
just
a
simple
Red,
Bar
down
there
for
washing
hands
and
and
then
we'll
put
a
bedroom
the
bedroom.
That's
already
there.
AC
We
will
put
in
Access
direct
access,
Ingress
window
well
on
the
right
side
on
the
left
side
of
the
property,
the
right
side
of
the
house,
which
is
it's
actually
a
driveway,
but
it's
not
legal.
So
we
don't
call
that
the
driveway
it's
a
pain
area
that
has
a
wide
open
gate
on
the
other
side,
which
is
only
about
three
feet
under
the
opposite
side
of
the
house
does
have
a
full
driveway
with
a
curb
cut
and
a
working
light.
AC
Traffic
light
farther
farther
here
turns
into
exists,
exhibit
to
the
property
The
Boiler
Room
will
remain
the
same.
The
existing
bathroom
become.
E
AC
Closet
and
it'll
become
organized
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
easier
for
the
for
the
fan.
The
existing
stairs
will
not
be
touched.
There
is
a
door
above
two
or
three
feet
up
from
the
from
the
stairs
on
the
right.
As
you
see
there,
and
then
you
can,
you
can
see
it
here,
it's
existing
and
that
door
will
also
have
access
to
the
directly
accessed
outside.
AC
So
with
that,
then
we
respectively
asked
for
the
zoning
code,
variance
and
I
guess
that
would
be
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
AC
This
is
a
this
is
a
basement
it's
below
grade
about
three
feet,
so
the
window.
Well,
as
you
see
to
the
right
there
that
says,
proposal
Ingress
window
well
will
be
constructed
in
you
know,
in
conforming
with
state
law,
international
building
coding
and
the
window
will
be
will
be
direct
access
to
outside
it's
only
about
it
would
only
be
about
35
36
inches
to
get
up
to
the
window
well,
which
is
will
be
in
the
well
within
the
the
international
and.
AC
AC
Okay,
but
again,
you
can
see.
There's
only
three
steps
up
to
the
from
the
basement
floor
to
the
to
the
level
of
the
parking
lot.
They.
AC
J
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
Neighborhood
Services
this
on
the
mayor's
office,
defer
to
the
Judgment
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
Our
office
hosted
a
Butters
meeting
where
Noah
Butters
were
in
attendance,
the
applicant
that
went
on
to
the
Ashmont

who
voted
to
support
this
proposal
with
that
we'll
defer
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
AF
Thank
you,
Mr
Shepard.
We
don't
need
design
review
because
it's
internal,
the
only
thing
I
would
ask
I
hadn't
seen
concerns
is
Miss
panado
if
you
could
add
a
Proviso
with
no
building
code
release
because
we
didn't
see
elevations
for
the
basement
either.
So
that
would
be
my
only
ask.
There's
no
building.
AE
A
AG
AG
AG
All
the
proposed
work
here
is
interior,
with
no
modifications
to
the
footprint
of
the
structure,
the
this
application
required
for
Relief
on
two
counts.
First,
the
restaurant
use
is
conditional
in
this
sub-district
of
the
Dorchester
neighborhood
zoning
District.
As
such,
we
require
relief
for
an
extension
of
a
non-performed
use.
Second,
this
increase
in
seating
capacity
requires
the
addition
of
off
street
parking.
There's
purolino
Osprey
parking
at
this
location
and,
as
we
are
not
modifying
the
footprint
of
this
log,
existing
lot
size
structure,
there
is
no
ability
to
add
Osprey
parking.
AG
In
addition
to
this
to
the
abutters
meeting
held
by
ons,
which
I'm
sure
you're
going
to
hear
about
shortly,
we
met
with
the
Columbia
Seven
Hill
civic
association,
which
resulted
in
their
support
for
this
project
simply
put
granting
the
relief
in
this
granting.
This
relief
will
allow
a
long-existing,
neighborhood
restaurant
to
better
meet
the
needs
of
community
at
this
appropriate
location,
with
no
adverse
effect
on
snavers.
We
want
to
thank
the
board
for
hearing
this
application
today
and
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have.
AE

Yes,
Madam

this

the

some

Our

hosts
in
the
butters
meeting,
where
two
of
otters
expressed
their
support
for
this
proposal
were
unaware
of
any
concerns.
As

Okay,
two

first
being

AH
Yes,
so
thank
you,
Mr

Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago,
with
Drago
Toscano,
with
the
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
and
I,
also
have
Chris
pru
home
from
Zephyr
Architects.
To
answer
any
questions
on
the
architectural
side.
This
is
a
project.
It's
Unique
for
this
area
of
Dorchester,
it's
one
of
the
largest
Lots
in
the
area
at
twenty
thousand
twenty
square
feet.
This
is
looking
at.
AH
This
would
be
the
lot
looking
at
it
straight
on
from
Quincy
Street,
and
you
can
see
we
have
an
existing
off
to
the
right
building.
That
is,
it
was
never
confirmed
properly,
so
we're
changing
the
occupancy,
but
it
is
laid
out
and
used
currently
and
rented
with
tenants
as
a
three
unit.
Building
that
building
will
remain
and
we
are
proposing
to
subdivide
the
lot
lot.
A
will
house
a
little
slightly
over
five
thousand
square
feet,
this
existing
structure,
which
is
shown
in
this
picture.
AH
If
you
sorry,
madam
vast,
you
can
go
right
to
the
next
slide.
Thank
you
and
subdivide
the
lot.
We
create
a
new
14
629
square
foot
puzzle
that
will
house
the
new
proposed
condominium
project.
This
project
will
have
an
address
of
427
Quincy.
Street
425
will
remain
as
great.
This
new
building
would
house
a
proposed
14
residential
units
with
11
parking
spaces
just
to
point
out,
we've
had
a
very
extensive
process
going
through
working
with
not
only
the
community
to
get
their
support,
but
also
the
bpda
to
make
changes
over
these
years.
AH
This
project
originally
was
at
24
units
scaled
down
now
to
14,
and
that's
in
doing
so.
We've
shaped
the
design
and
made
agreements
all
along
to
keep
the
existing
structure,
which
the
community,
both
the
Bowdoin
Geneva
Street,
Association
and
meeting
house
Hill
built
very
strongly
about.
So
this
was
all
worked
out
to
get
their
support.
AH
I
know
the
bpdas
as
well,
and
this
new
project
shows
two
separate
buildings,
so
the
new
building
would
be
the
condo
building
that
you're.
Looking
at
this
is
the
great
picture.
You
can
see
the
significant
grade
change
in
the
project.
This
is
there's
a
retaining
wall
that
goes
all
around
the
building
and
Rock
Ledge,
and
that
will
all
remain
so
that
would
minimalize
any
chance
of
blasting,
which
neighbors
had
asked
us
to
do
so.
AH
This
is
built
on
top
of
that
wall
and
that
elevated
and
that
elevation
in
topography
the
as
I
mentioned
it
would
also
house
11
parking
spaces
that
is
entered
through
an
existing
driveway
10-foot
driveway
in
the
rear
coming
off
of
Bellevue
Street,
which
is
our
budding
Street
in
the
back
just
to
go
over
just
to
point
out
as
well.
AH
AH
The
breakdown
you
can
just
see.
This
is
a
side
view
of
the
project.
The
breakdown
is
seven
one
bedroom
units,
five,
two
bedroom
units
and
two
three
bedroom
units
for
a
mix
of
housing
stock
to
serve
the
neighborhood.
The
one
beds
are,
on
average
682
square
feet,
two
beds
at
7.90
and
three
beds
at
11.50
on
average,
just
to
go
over
the
layout
so
level.
One
would
house
two
units,
a
Lobby
and
a
bike
room
to
be
used
by
those
residents
level.
AH
Two
because
of
the
significant
grade
change
as
the
11
parking
spaces
entered
from
the
belle
of
you
side,
and
this
shows
it
right
here
nicely.
You
can
see
the
existing
driveway
that
leads
to
those
back
spaces
level.
Three
has
five
units
and
then
finally
level.
Four
has
two
units
there's
also
some
walkout
on
the
top
floor
of
the
project
and
some
rare
balconies
for
those
units
as
well
just
to
go
over
some
of
the
violations
that
were
mentioned.
The
receiving
relief
for
one
is
lot
area
being
at
14
642
square
feet.
AH
We
would
need
far
release
of
this
area,
just
0.5
we're
at
a
1.15
building
a
height
stories.
We
are
a
four-story
building
and
we
do
have
that
top
floor
recessed
significantly
from
the
Quincy
Street
side,
but
we
would
be
at
56
feet.
4
inches
are
requiring
zoning
relief
side
yard
one
side,
two
foot
two:
we
would
need
relief,
rarion,
we're
at
11
feet
and
30
would
be
a
required
and
then
parking.
Although
we
do
have
11
parking
spaces,
1.5
per
unit
would
be
required.
AH
AH
AH
The
bpda
felt
this
is
a
mix
of
housing
stock.
There
are
a
lot
of
multi-families.
They
just
felt.
That
was
just
too
big
of
a
project,
and
some
members
of
the
community
felt
it
was.
It
was
too
large.
So
we
tried
to
get
to
a
point
where
we
could
get
neighborhood
support
and
bpda
support
for
the
project
which
we
now
have
both,
but
it
was
very
important
to
the
neighborhood,
of
course,
to
to
retain
this
existing
structure.
So
every
proposal
that
we
had
kept
this
three
unit
off
to
the
right.
AH
T
AH
H
AH
Yeah
I'm
going
to
defer
to
Chris
who's
with
us
Chris
prolong
if
he
is
available
to
speak.
AI
Yeah
I'm
here
I
believe
we
did
submit
a
landscape
plan
with
this,
but
it
may
not
have
made
it
into
the
into
this
slide
deck.
The
intent
is
to
leave
as
much
of
the
surrounding
and
interior
landscaping
for
a
courtyard
space
to
be
shared
between
425
and
427.
It
creates
a
nice
kind
of
enclosed
space
that
would
be
paved
as
a
patio
with
furniture
and
outdoor
space
that
can
be
shared
between
the
two
buildings.
Much
of
the
existing
grass
and
trees
that
are
existing
that
can
stay.
AI
The
intent
is
to
keep
those,
and
we
have
some
extent
of
to
plant
along
the
front
edge
along
425
that
allows
much
of
the
new
Hardscape
is
that
is
created
along
the
front
yard
will
be
for
accessible
ramping,
which
is
not
currently.
You
existed
in
existence
on
these
properties,
so
accessing
these
two
properties
is
going
to
be
kind
of
a
task
unto
itself
that
we're
trying
to
incorporate
into
the
streetscape.
H
V
AH
Existing
curve
cut
off
Bellevue
that
exists.
Now.
The
problem
is
just
the
way
it's
laid
out.
There's
just
it's
almost

Come

from

said,

okay.

to
erect

would
be
for
the
exclusive
use

2
rear

which,
within
the
South

Neighborhood

requires
the

to
issue
a

If
we
could
scroll
down
to

which
would
better
illustrate,

are,
the

are
proposed.

The
two

Mr
secretary
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adams
and
marantzee
business
address
of
168,
8th
Street
first
floor
South
Boston
with
me
today
are
the
owners,
Joe
and
Paul
Holland.
Also
joining
us
is
the
architect
Justin
white.
This
is
a
proposal
for
a
full
gut
renovation
of
an
existing
tree
family
dwelling.
AO
By
way
of
a
rare
addition,
I
want
to
do
if
I
can
direct
two
pages
two
and
three
and
also
there'll,
be
a
color
page
on
on
page
six
that
can
kind
of
Define
this
a
little
bit
better
as
I
go
through.
AO
As
for
the
extensions
of
livable
space,
on
the
first
parcel,
you
will
notice
there
are
rare,
multi-level
Decks
that
are
partially
covered,
which
will
be
removed
to
provide
for
the
addition.
Those
decks
currently
extend
approximately
5.1
feet
off
of
the
four
foot
passageway
in
the
rear.
The
addition
which
will
be
replacing
those
decks
will
extend
approximately
3.1
feet
off
of
the
passageway,
so
that
will
be
just
a
two
foot
extension
beyond
the
current
location
of
those
decks
for
the
addition,
if
I
could
direct
you
to
page
11.
AO
you'll
see
here,
the
vacant
parcel
will
be
in
open
space
area,
with
trees,
plantings
and
in
a
paintable
area
that
will
be
dedicated
to
those
unit
owners.
A
few
things
here.
This
is
a
classic
example
of
a
previous
project
that
Joe
and
Paul
Holland
has
done
before
with
the
typical.
The
second
lot
that
was
landlocked
in
the
rear
and
again
this
will
be
an
open
space
area
dedicated
and
committed
to
those
unit.
AO
Owners
and
I
personally
believe
that
it
will
be
a
pleasure
for
all
a
bunny
owners
when
looking
out
their
Windows
to
see
a
beautiful
landscaped
area
such
as
this
versus
what
it
is
today
and
now,
if
I
can
direct
your
attention
to
to
page
eight
I'm
going
to
go
through
the
the
unit
layouts
for
the
Edition
unit,
one
is
approximately
2
436
square
feet
and
will
consist
of
a
half
of
the
guarded
level.
In
the
first
floor,
you
can
see
that
yes,
perfect
the
front.
AO
The
front
part
of
the
garden
level
will
consist
any
common
storage
and
Mechanicals.
The
back
of
the
garden
level
is
a
full
walk
out
onto
the
rear
of
the
property
that
will
have
two
bedrooms
in
a
Danny
area
for
additional
space.
The
first
floor
will
consist
of
two
bedrooms
and
an
open
concept.
Living
living,
room,
dining
and
kitchen
unit.
2
is
approximately
1356
square
feet
and
will
be
located
on
the
second
floor.
That
will
consist
of
three
bedrooms
and
an
open,
dining
kitchen
and
living
room
unit.
AO
AO
Bedroom
count
here
from
the
original
proposal
was
reduced
from
11
bedrooms
down
to
nine
and
we
have
the
following
violations:
we
have
a
roof
structure
restriction
as
we
are
extending
that
roof
line
with
the
addition.
We
have
an
far
and
open
space
violation
as
as
you
see
here,
but
unfortunately,
these
violations
would
have
went
away
if
we
were
able
to
combine
these
Lots,
but
again
just
calling
to
the
fact
because
of
this
little
foot
easement,
we
were
unable
to
combine
these
two
Parcels.
AO
We
do
have
an
insufficient
side
yard
setback,
the
addition
stays
in
line
with
the
existing
structure
of
the
dimensions,
as
you
can
see,
from
the
plot
plants
which
are
located
back
on
age,
two
and
three
again,
the
insufficient
rare
yard
violation.
Again,
we
have
this
violation
as
we're
unable
to
combine
the
parcels
again
due
to
the
the
four
foot
easement
and
then
the
last
violation
we
have
is
an
extension
into
the
radio
out
of
a
thousand
square
feet
or
more.
A
Okay
hearing
none
can
I
take
public
testimony.
AS
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
Anna
white,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
ons,
hosted
a
voters
meeting
from
543
East
7th
Street
and
January
11
2023
around
a
dozen
of
Butters
were
present
the
proponent
answered
all
questions
neighbors
were
concerned
about
the
current
condition
of
the
property
and
a
few
objected
to
the
proponent,
increasing
the
building
size,
especially
in
the
back
ons,
received
a
call
from
a
direct
debutter
and
opposition,
and
we
received
one
letter
in
opposition.
Ons
received
one
letter
of
support
from
the
butter
as
well.
R
AT
Oh
yes,
today,
I
live
at
5
45,
the
7th
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
myself,
my
fiancee,
the
two
other
owners.
AT
Throughout
the
neighborhood,
so
I
want
to
thank
the
home
Brothers
here,
Mr
Spitz.
They
have
been
pretty
open
with
their
communication.
N
AT
Yeah
yeah
yeah.
We
have
a
backyard
that
directly
Buffs
it.
The
18
foot
Edition
would
impact
our
views
from
the
backyard
impact
all
of
the
neighbors,
with
their
back
decks
would
impact
the
sunlight
into
the
backyard
and
the
work
that
would
need
to
be
completed.
They
would
have
to
access
our
backyard
directly
and
541's
backyard
directly,
and
that
would
take
weeks
to
months
on
our
property
feeling
better
this.
So
we
got
all
the
renovation
we
are
against
the
Edition.
Thank.
AU
I
yeah
I
live
on
K
Street,
there's
really
nowhere
else
for
us
to
park
right
now,
so
we
can't
afford
to
be
putting
any
more
cars
in
the
streets,
so
I
support
this
project
and
I
support
any
off-street
parking.
That
is
not
going
to
take
up
more
spots
for
me
in
the
street.
AV
Yes,
you
do
I
have
a
project
on
East
7th,
Street
I
grew
up
in
South
Boston
Beckler
Ave
is
definitely
not
a
dead
end
or
a
one-way
Street
cars
park,
north
of
south
south
to
North
I
know
people
are
on
Bethel
around
are
upset,
but
unfortunately
the
parking
in
South
Boston
is
ridiculous.
We
need
extra.
Bots
can
I
continue
on
sorry
yeah
I'm
in
I'm
in
support
big
time.
Thank
you.
D
G
AA
AF
Thank
you,
madam
chairman
board.
Jeff
Hampton
senior
zoning
planner.
We
recommend
it
to
now
without
prejudice
because,
as
you
can
see
in
the
plans,
the
extension
comes
within
just
about
three
feet
of
the
property
line,
so
filling
in
that
rear
yard
is
really
taking
away
the
open
space.
The
other
thing,
too,
there
was
no
Landscaping
plan
provided
to
us.
The
plans
that
were
provided
to
us
from
ISD
simply
had
that
back
lot,
shaded
green.
AX
AF
I
Have
the
newer
landscape
one
Landscaping
drawing
as
well?
We
got
that
this
morning,
so
I
did
see
that.
AO
Yes,
so
so
the
response
to
that
is
is
so,
as
you
can
see
where
the
decks
lie.
Existing
the
index
are
actually
extending
out
approximately
five
feet:
5.1
feet
from
the
actual
rare
property
line.
This
new
addition
will
be
removing
those
decks
and
putting
on
little
of
a
space
Edition.
That
would
be
approximately
3.1
feet
from
the
property
line.
So
it's
it's.
AO
In
fact,
a
two
foot
increase
of
the
actual
existing
dwelling,
so
I
I
I,
don't
see
how
much
further
that
would
impact
actual
views
or
anything
in
sight
in
that
sense
again,
because
it's
a
it's,
it's
a
minimal
diminished
de
minimis
increase
in
the
actual
setback
there
and
again,
if
I
could
address
Mr
Hampton's
comments
as
well:
yeah
I,
don't
I'm,
not
quite
sure.
AO
If
that
recommendation
was
based
upon
just
this
one
parcel
and
again,
we
would
have
preferred
to
combine
these
Parcels,
but
we
needed
to
adhere
to
that
four
foot
passageway
it
can
cannot
obstruct
it
in
any
manner
whatsoever,
but
again
that
vacant
lot,
which
is
landlocked
here,
is,
is
part
of
this
proposal
here
and
it
will
be
committed
to
the
Landscaping
is
the
screen
that
was
just
up
the
Landscaping
plan
and
again
it
will
be
much
more
of
a
of
a
view,
a
better
View
and
a
better
site
compared
to
what
is
actually
there
today
and
during
the
community
process.
AO
G
AO
About
access
access
well,
I
believe
in
special
service.
It
allows
you
know
when
you,
when
you
City
living
there
is
tight.
You
know,
there's
tight
quadrants
and
tight
maneuverability
when
making
any
sort
of
repairs
and
there's
an
allowance
that
allows
owners
to
use
their
neighbor's
property
by
you
know
legal
league
rifle
to
do
such
in
order
to
make
those
repairs.
AO
However,
you
know
liability
insurance
will
be
taking
out
and
the
property
will
be
restored
if
there
was
if
there
was
any
sort
of
damage
that
was
done
to
this
property
and
again
it
would
be
done
in
a
timely,
fashionable
manner.
So
it
doesn't
inconvenience
any
of
the
owners.
I
I'll
I'll
motion
to
approve
with
bpda
design
review,
especially
you
know,
in
regards
to
the
landscape
in
that
Backlot
area.
There.

a
tenant
in
the
garage
section
and
the
Suffolk
DA's
office
has
an
office
use
so
existing
use,
Fitness
and
office
next
life.
Please.
AZ
Sorry
about
that,
so
what
we
are
proposing
is
a
development
without
displacement
that
would
activate
this,
this
prominent
corner
site
and
improve
the
environment
and
bring
housing
and
keep
the
mixed
uses
which
are
there
today.
So
what
that
means
currently
is
we
are
proposing
a
three-story
building
which
you'll
see
in
the
plans
to
follow.
AZ
But
if
you
stay
on
this
on
this
slide,
I'll
go
through
this
very
quickly
and
14
residential
units
on
the
second
and
third
level
is
intended
to
be
a
boutique
homeownership,
a
condominium
home
ownership.
Those
units
are
a
mix
of
two
bedrooms,
one
bedrooms
and
Studios
from
about
a
thousand
square
feet
down
to
450.
At
the
studio
level,
we
have
seven
parking
spaces
which
we
think
is
an
appropriate
amount,
considering
the
location
and
also
the
need
for
some
open
space.
AZ
So
as
part
of
this
project,
we
started
two
years
ago
reaching
out,
we
were
in
the
Jeffrey's
Point
neighborhood,
as
I
mentioned
working
with
the
Jeffrey's
Point
neighborhood
association,
we
had
eight
meetings
with
them
on
May
11th
and
they
sent
you
a
letter
of
support
which
we're
very
proud
of.
There
was
a
lot
of
work.
We
started
with
a
four-story
building
that
was
subject
to
article
80,
small
project
review
four
and
a
half
stories
30
units
through
this
iterative
process.
Over
the
last
two
years.
AZ
We
have
reduced
that
so
it's
now
less
than
article
80's
threshold
and
is
three
stories
and
14
units
with
seven
parking
spaces.
We
also
received
a
recommendation
from
the
bpda
on
February
17th,
which
we've
worked
hard
to
address.
We
are
in
the
East
Boston
iPod
section.
We
greatly
appreciate
the
guidance
from
the
bpda.
What
we
heard
was
early
on
when
we
were
small
project
was
there
was
a
concern
from
the
bpda
above
the
hike.
So
we
took
it
down
to
three
stories
and
that
obviously
took
us
out
of
article.
AZ
They
then
issued
a
recommendation
with
concern
about
lot
coverage,
which
we
clarified
were
merely
39
percent
Fallout
coverage
for
the
building
footprint.
We
also
reduce
the
dimensions
of
the
driveway
so
that
we'd
have
less
service
area
and
we
changed
the
parking
access
area
to
permeable
Paving
and
added
additional
green
and
open
space
buffering
very
much
aware
that
we're
in
the
iPod
and
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
the
bpdh
should
we
have
the
pleasure
of
being
approved
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
hand
it
over
to
Bill
Paquette
to
take
you
through
the
plans.
AZ
I'm
sorry
speak
to
the
zone
and
quick
and
then
hand
it
off
to
Viet,
so
just
very
quickly.
Madam
chair,
as
I
mentioned,
we
are
in
a
3F,
2000
Zone.
AZ
The
two
uses
that
we're
seeking
to
keep
East
Boston
CrossFit
is
a
local
local,
owned
and
operated
business,
which
we're
providing
a
new
space
support
and
also
to
keep
the
small
office
space
with
just
Suffolk.
County
DA's
is
interested
in
in
coming
back
to
as
well.
Those
do
require
variances
because
again
they're
existing
non-conforming,
as
does
the
multi-family
residential
we
are
compliant
with
the
height
at
34
feet.
35
is
required.
AZ
We
require
variance
for
far
one
is
required,
we're
at
1.91,
so
it's
fairly
modest
and
the
existing
non-conformities
with
respect
to
the
lot
area.
We
do
not
have
enough,
so
we
need
a
variance
for
the
minimum
lot
area
ratio.
We
are
modal
with
the
front
yard
and
complying
with
a
side,
and
the
other
thing
I
will
note.
We
are
in
an
overlay
for
groundwater
conservation
overlay
District.
Some
time
ago
we
submitted
the
full
approval
letter
from
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer,
which
should
be
in
your
files
with
ISD
next
slide
and
Bill
packet
bill.
A
Well,
just
a
quick
question:
I
know
you
mentioned,
you
went
out
of
articulating
process,
so
are
there
any
affordable
units
associated
with.
AZ
This,
yes
ma'am,
sorry,
I,
sorry
to
yes,
we
have
two
affordable
units
and,
as
you'll
see
in
this
site
plan,
one
of
the
things
we
heard
from
the
bpva
after
getting
under
article
80
was
sort
of
like
you
know,
do
we
have
too
much
parking,
and
this
is
a
home
ownership
program
and
so
we're
trying
to
balance
permeability
and
open
space,
but
also
activation
for
a
mixed-use
building
which
you're
seeing
here,
and
so
we
have
two
affordable
units
and
we'll
need
to
go
through
the
bpda
process
for
that.
AZ
AZ
BA
You
so
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
What's
on
your
screens,
right
now
is
a
site
plan
that
we're
proposing
and
just
as
we
have
explanation,
the
the
the
colored
dating
around
the
building
the
building
is
white.
The
color
Paving
around
the
building
is
actually
set
the
building's
setback
from
the
property
lines,
so
we're
providing
a
wider,
a
sidewalk
than
the
existing
sidewalk
now
and
would
set
back
five
feet
from
the
the
sidewalks
above
average
Street
in
Orleans.
BA
The
residential
entrance
is
at
the
end
of
the
building,
that's
more
towards
the
bottom
of
your
screen.
The
commercial
entrance
is
at
the
corner
of
Everett
New
Orleans,
so
the
two
are
distinctly
separate.
This
plan
also
shows
the
parking
in
the
rear
of
the
building.
The
where
the
cars
are
indicated
is
actually
underneath
the
second
floor
above
so
it's
covered
parking,
but
it
is
open.
BA
BA
We
also
show
we
show
the
additional
five
trees
and
on
Orleans,
currently
there's
a
very
wide
herb
cut
that
we
are
proposed
to
eliminate
entirely,
although
we
would
like
to
to
introduce
a
loading
spot
right
in
front
of
the
residential
entrance
that
could
be
for
a
package
delivery
or
or
a
ride,
share.
Pickup
and
the
actual
parking
access
is
off.
Everett
Street
there's
an
existing
curb
cut
there.
BA
Now
that
we
would
relocate
to
align
with
the
with
the
driveway
entrance
next
slide,
please
well,
this
slide
is
it
shows
the
elevation
along.
The
top
is
the
Orleans
Street
elevation,
and
this
shows
a
relative
High
to
what
the
zoom
X
building,
which
is
the
the
abiding
building
where
virtually
at
the
same
at
the
same
height.
You
can
see
we're
three
stories.
The
the
residential
entrance
is
indicated
in
Brick.
BA
We
have
the
the
stair
and
elevator
Tower
we
propose
in
Brick
and
the
rest
of
that
ground
floor
would
be
mostly
a
glass
on
Orleans
street,
with
more
brick
introduced
on
Everett
Street.
Two
stories
of
residential,
above
with
the
articulation
of
the
units
I,
think
Joe
went
through
the
units
next
slide.
Please.
BA
The
top
shows
the
part,
the
the
back
elevation
that
shows
the
parking
below
with
the
units
above
with
some
balconies.
These
are
south
east
facing
balconies
in
the
lower
elevation,
shows
the
brick,
the
stare
and
elevator
for
the
residential
use
and
the
two
units
or
two
floors
of
residential
units
above
parking.
The
next
next
slide.
Please
the
ground
floor
plan.
We
show
three
commercial
spaces
of
a
thousand
square
feet,
335
square
feet
and
540
square
feet.
BA
I
think
this
configuration
can
be
can
be
adjusted
as
a
project
moves
forward.
You
can
see
the
commercial
entrance
is
on
the
corner.
The
residential
entrance
is
more
towards
the
the
bottom
of
the
drawing
towards
towards
Zoo
mix,
the
stairway
and
elevator
with
accident
direct
access
to
the
parking
in
the
rear,
as
well
as
from
Orleans
Street.
Next
slide,
please.
BA
This
shows
the
residential
floors,
they're
they're
very,
very
similar,
virtually
identic.
We
have
on
each
floor.
There
are,
there
are
two
Studios
four
one
bedroom
units
and
and
there's
a
two
bedroom
unit
at
the
very
at
the
corner
of
the
building.
Now
the
only
difference
is
is
on
the
top
floor.
There
is
some
access
some
of
the
access,
some
of
the
units
have
access
to
individually,
dedicated
roof
decks
next
slide.
Please
you.
S
BA
And
this
just
shows
a
roof:
a
roof
plan
with
decks
accessible
directly
from
units
below
you
see.
The
decks
are
set
well
back
from
the
edge
of
the
building,
and
then
we
we
also
show
a
condo
mechanical
room
on
the
on
the
roof,
to
provide
centralized
mechanical
system
for
the
building
next
slide
section
showing
the
relative
height
there's
a
billion
an
apartment
building
across
the
street,
which
will
be
taller
than
than
what
we
propose.
BA
It
shows
the
parking
below
the
second
floor
and
next
slide
once
again,
an
exterior
image
taken
from
Orleans
Street,
looking
at
the
corner
and
the
building
in
general.
Next.
BA
An
image
looking
down
at
Arlene
Street
from
in
front
of
the
Zoomix
building
and
one
more
please
and
a
bird's
eye
view
showing
the
the
building
and
its
General
context
in
the
neighborhood
I
believe
I
believe.
That's
it
so
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you.
Thank
you.
Thank.
V
Yes,
Madam,
chair
I
do
have
a
few
questions.
Yes,
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
I
walk
by
the
site
regularly
a
couple
of
questions.
V
Can
you
confirm
that,
basically,
where
there
are
no
Street
trees,
now
you're
planning
and
going
for
approvals
to
plant,
it
looks
like
five
or
six
Street
trees?
Yes,.
AZ
Sir
Mr
Eric
and
we're
very
excited
about
it,
we're
inspired
by
you
know:
East
Boston
has
been
advocating
for
a
full
growth
tree
canopies
and
there
are
none
today.
You
know
this
is
really
just
all
asphalt
it's
there,
so
we
only
have
full
you
know
and
as
Bill
indicated
Mr
Aiken,
because
we're
widening
the
sidewalk.
These
are
narrow,
sidewalks
that
allows
us
to
have
adequate
tree
breaks,
which
then
has
these
trees
to
survive
and
continue
to
flourish
and
have
Deep
Roots.
So
yes,
sir,
thank
you.
V
Thank
you
and
then
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
kind
of
the
street
level.
There
you've
got
some
outdoor
seating
you're
going
to
have
the
CrossFit
there.
What's
going
to
be
the
the
sort
of
pedestrian
experience,
as
you
know,
Miss
panado
Rob
in
Prior
cases
there
with
fitness
center.
What
is
going
to
be
that
the
seating
is
that
intended
only
then
for
private
use,
because
it's
within
private
property,
when
the
fitness
center
is
open,
just
not
quite
clear,
exactly
what's
being
proposed
there
and.
AZ
Why
yeah
so
you
walk
by
this
and
Javier
who's,
the
local
business
owner?
You
know
it's
a
popular
East,
Boston
CrossFit
and
obviously
we
want
to
be
able
to
contain
the
sound
which
you
can't
really
do
now,
because
it's
so
that's
you
know
within,
but
after
a
workout,
the
idea
is
to
have
a
little
bit
of
seating
and
that
all
can
also
can
be
used.
It's
not
a
huge
space,
but
all
could
also
can
be
used
by
folks
that
are
passing
by
and
really
to
activate
the
ground
floor.
AZ
BA
No
I
think
that
that
pretty
well
describes
it
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
space.
That's
a
possibility
to
have
a
few
tables
and
chairs
could
be
a
place
to
sit
down
and
have
a
have
a
soda
after
the
workout
or
something
like
that.
I
think.
That's
how
we
see
it.
AZ
V
BA
BA
AZ
One
of
so
thank
you
Bob,
it's
something
that
you
know
these,
these,
it's
a
relatively
small
mix,
use
component
here
right
with
square
footage.
One
is
the
fitness
use,
the
other
is
the
office
so
not
expected
to
generate
a
lot
of
receiving,
but
there
is
a
commercial
aspect
so
Bill
do
you
want
to
speak
to
what
we're
thinking
about
here?
You
see
on
the
plan?
Yes,.
X
I'd
like
to
do
this
discuss
it,
because
you
can't
take
away
space
on
a
public
Street
for
private
use,
yeah.
AZ
BA
Well,
the
the
intent
was
to
have
a
space
in
front
of
the
residential
entrance
that
would
be
used
for
instead
of
having
having
a
delivery
truck
blocking
the
street
it'd
be
good
to
have
a
place
where
the
delivery
truck
to
pull
over
while
delivering
packages
in
in
the
area
and
also
for
Uber
and
Lyft,
provide
sharing
a
taxi,
be
good
to
have
a
place
in
front
of
the
door
for
that
sort
of
pickup,
because
a
lot
of
people
that
a
lot
of
people
use
those
services.
BA
And
if
you
have
14
units
there
may
be
people
that
that
want
to
use
those
services
and
also
can
be
available
for
for
other
other
people
in
the
neighborhood.
It
wouldn't
be
necessarily
dedicated
to
our
to
our
proposed
building,
but
it
would
be
a
place
that
would
be
available
for
the
general
General
Services
as
described
to
pull
over
and
be
off
be
off.
The
street
yeah.
AZ
Mr
Tamika:
this
was
something
that
was
driven
in
part
by
the
articulating
process
when
we
started
when
we
were
subject
to
small
project
review
to
have
that
facility,
but
clearly
now
that
we're
out
of
that,
should
we
have
the
pleasure
of
approval,
we
would
be
looking
to
work
with
your
office
and
the
PDA
on
the
appropriateness
of
this
okay.
X
AZ
The
six
page,
six
second
page
Madam,
chair
Madam,
ambassador.
AZ
Bottom
right,
it's
A1
point:
zero.
BB
BA
Okay,
at
the
very
you
know
the
residential
entrance
right
in
front
of
the
residential
entrance.
It's
just
indicated
it's
next
to
the
the
white
curb
cut
that
you
know
zoomed
through
a
zoom
X's
parking
area,
so
it'd
be
really
a
continuation
of
their
space.
BA
X
A
museum
I'll
make
my
comments
now
when
there's
a
vote.
Okay,
just.
AZ
To
clarify
too,
we
there
is
no
requirement
for
off-street
loading
here,
based
on
the
de
minimis
size
of
this
mixed
use
of
commercial
space.
However,
as
you'll
see,
we
do
have
a
dedicated
driveway,
which
we've
made
narrower
in
working
with
the
PDA,
but
certainly
we
have
the
ability
to
accommodate
this
and
to
work
proactively,
which
I
think
we've
demonstrated
over
the
last
two
years.
Should
we
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
you
further
Mr
Tamiko?
Thank
you.
X
Madam
chair,
just
let
me
say
this
they're
a
block
away
from
Maverick
station
I
know
I've
lived
in
Jeffrey's
point
for
60
years
and
there's
absolutely
no
need
to
have
a
drop
off
a
pickup
spot
for
Ubers
or
taxis
or
whatever
it
may
be,
and
well
like
I
said.
I
just
want
to
go
on
the
record,
and
you
know
the
opposition
to
this
plan
for
a
loading
and
unloading
on
a
public
Street.
AK
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam,
chair
or
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
and
it's
Alia
beneath
us,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
ons,
hosted
in
a
buddies
meeting
for
the
current
proposal
on
September
27
2022.
Only
one
about
our
attended.
The
meeting
and
four
is
full
support
for
the
project.
The
applicant
also
has
met
eight
different
times
with
the
Jeffrey's
boy
neighborhood
association.
The
association
had
voted
to
oppose
to
the
initial
proposal,
so
the
applicant
that
agreed
to
reduce
the
square
footage,
reduce
16
units
and
1.5
stories.
AK
Ultimately,
the
developer
works
with
the
association
and
community,
so
the
Jefferson
Association
issued
a
letter
of
support
with
11
residents
in
favor
and
six
in
opposition.
Our
office
has
received
five
letters
in
support
and
at
this
time
our
office
would
like
to
look
for
a
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
BC
A
A
Okay
was
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
AF
Yeah,
it
was
stuck.
This
originally
was
before
you
back
in
January,
so
it's
almost
been
four
months
since
they
asked
for
a
deferral
one
hour,
concerns
on
the
project
and
I
know:
they've
met
at
least
two
times
in
the
community
and
with
staff
at
the
bpda
to
address
their
concerns,
and
although
we
only
get
one
bite
of
the
Apple,
the
bppa
is
comfortable
with
the
with
how
the
appellant
is
addressed
against
returns,
that
we
have
moved
forward.
AF
AY
A
S
T
A
B
BD
Yes,
I
am
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
This
is
Mike.
Ross.
Excuse
me
law,
firmary
principal
I'm
here
with
my
colleague,
Les
Hawkins,
we're
also
here
with
architect,
James
Christopher.
This
is
a
proposal
to
replace
a
five-bay
garage
with
a
three
unit
building.
BD
What
you
see
here
on
slide,
one
is
a
site
pan
that
the
site
plan
there's
the
existing
three
family
on
the
left
and.
G
Y
BD
Proposed
project
is
there
on
the
right
this
would
this
is
an
existing.
You
could
just
stay
here
for
a
second
Madam
Ambassador.
If
you
could
all
right
there
you
go.
This
is
an
existing
6,
000
square
foot,
lot:
moose
Lots
in
this
immediate
area.
This
three
five
three
out
of
five
thousand
District,
are
non-conforming
at
around
six
thousand
square
feet.
The
the
effort
here
is
to
divide
the
slot
and
then
to
build
on
the
corner.
BD
What
you
see
there
on
the
corner
of
Carmen
and
Vassar
a
three
a
three
Family
House
in
that
site.
There
is
a
curb
cut
on
Vassar
Street
and
what's
there
today
at
the
corner
of
Vassar
and
Carmen,
is
a
a
five
bay
garage.
So
I'll
show
you
that
in
a
second
go
to
the
next
slide,
please!
BD
So
this
is
your
kind
of
floor
plan
and
psychland
still,
you
can
see
both
at
the
top
and
at
the
bottom,
you
can
see
the
the
existing
curb
cut
on
Vassar
Street
for
the
unit.
You
can
see
the
floor
plan
on
the
corner
of
what
is
unit
one,
and
here
you,
what
you
can
see
are
the
other
lot
sizes
that
are
on
both
Carmen
Street
and
Vassar
Street
Garmin
at
the
top
Ambassador
at
the
bottom
and
the
the
Vassar
Street
lots
are
around
3
500
square
feet
as
I
mentioned.
BD
So
this
is
now
a
closer
floor
plan
version
of
both
the
existing
three
family
building
on
the
left
and
the
proposed
three
family
building
on
the
right.
So
what
you
see
here
now
is
unit
one
the
first
floor
unit.
One
is
a
duplex,
it's
a
1600,
nine
square
foot
duplex
with
all
living
all
bedroom
on
the
first
floor
and
then
on
the
in
the
bottom.
For
the
basement
unit
is
no
no
bedrooms,
it's,
but
it
is
a
living
room.
BD
Space
I'll
show
you
that
on
the
next
slide,
if
you
will
I'm
ambassador
and
you
look
on
the
right-
that's
your
floor
plan
for
the
basement
plan
there.
So
on
this
really
beginning
with
the
right
going
right
to
left.
That's
your
your
basement
unit
for
unit
one,
so
what
we
did
there.
The
change
is
that
this
is
obviously
was
a
deferral
and
we're
coming
back
to
so
one
of
the
key
changes
that
we
made
were
we
moved
the
the
living
the
bedroom
spaces
up
to
the
top
floor.
BD
So
that's
a
two
bedroom
two
bath
now
with
the
with
the
basement
unit
having
no
further
living
space
in
terms
of
bedrooms,
so
that
what
you
have
there
is
just
the
you
know
like
the
kitchen
in
the
living
room
area
and
the
bathroom
you'll
also
see
bubbles
on
both
sides
of
the
building.
So
what
those
bubbles
are,
what
they
reflect
changes
to
the
plant?
They
were
increased
window
well
sizes
and
increase
window
openings
on
both
of
those.
BD
So
I'll
show
you
an
elevation
in
a
minute,
so
you
can
get
a
sense
of
what
we're
looking
at
there,
but
those
were
the
key
changes
that
were
made
before
you
know.
After
the
deferral
the
center
floor
plan
shows
you
the
entirety
of
unit
two
unit.
Two
is
a
1090
square
foot
three
bedroom
two
bath
unit
and
then
at
the
rear
of
unit.
Two.
You
see
the
outdoor
space,
which
is
a
porch
that
overhangs
the
property
and
then
on
the
third
unit
on
the
left.
BD
Most
part
of
these
plans
is
unit
three
and
that's
a
1090
square
foot
unit.
Again,
that
is
also
a
three
bedroom
two
bath
with
open
space
in
the
rear
of
the
building.
Next
slide,
please
so
here,
Slide
Five
are
your
elevations.
It
shows
you
the
an
increased
size
of
the
casement
window
in
the
basement,
as
well
as
the
increased
window
well
size
which,
in
the
front
of
the
building
on
the
left
that
is
accessible,
you
can
see
the
ramp
there
allowing
access.
It
shows
you
also
the
parking
area.
BD
That's
the
existing
curb
cut,
that's
there
today,
and
then
it
shows
you,
those
two
balconies
off
the
right
off
the
back
of
the
building.
It's
also
there
are.
There
is
a
little
bit
of
open
space
as
well
on
the
on
the
two
on
the
front
of
the
building.
Those
two
balconies
there
that
you
see
on
the
left
next
slide,
please.
BD
We
put
two
casement
windows
in
that
case
and
also
increase
the
size
of
the
window.
Well,
so
those
were
those
were
the
main
changes
to
the
plan
next
slide.
Please
we
did
prepare
this
internal
elevation
in
case
any
questions
were
about
what
the
basement
unit
looks
like.
So
the
basement
unit,
again,
there's
no
bedrooms
down
there,
but
to
the
extent
that
there's
any
space
down
there,
the
space
is
eight
foot
ceilings
and
the
sill
height
begins
at
36
inches
next
slide.
Please.
BD
So
here
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
what's
there
today,
as
you
can
see,
it's
a
it's
a
you
know,
tightly
kind
of
tight
Community
here
in
terms
of
the
all
the
lot
sizes
in
the
area,
and
what
this
lot
had
is
this
or
has
today
or
proposingly
changes.
It
has
this
five
big
one-story
garage
just
kind
of
stationed
here,
and
what
we're
proposing
again
is
to
replace
it
with
the
three
family
house.
So
the
next
slide
shows
you
kind
of
this
next
slide.
BD
Please
we'll
show
you
what
we're
proposing
in
rendering
format
right
there
and
then
let
me
just
quickly
if
I
could
go
through
the
zoning,
so
there's
two
zonings
there's
there's
an
ERT
and
ALT
associated
with
this
proposal.
We
were
able
to
reduce
the
number
of
zoning
violations
by
three
in
total,
the
ERT,
the
the
proposed
project
here
that
you
see
that
we're
proposing
was
cited
for
several
violations.
I'll
quickly
run
through
those
parking
requires
one
unit,
one
parking
space
per
unit.
BD
We
have
two
spaces:
the
traffic
visibility,
in
that
this
is
at
a
corner,
building
alignment
to
the
other
existing
building
frontages.
The
lot
area,
as
I
mentioned,
is
undersized
we're
at
25
39
in
a
five
thousand.
A
lot
width
which
I've
mentioned
throughout
the
district,
is
also
around
40..
This
is
at
38.9
in,
what's
required
to
be
50
feet,
the
rock
the
frontage
is
the
same
as
the
width.
BD
BD
The
side
yard
requires
10
again,
the
most
are
performing
we're
at
two
and
then
the
rear
yard
same
most
are
not
component
we're
at
19
as
opposed
to
a
required
of
30.,
because
the
house
on
the
left
was
divided
to
allow
for
that
parcel.
It
created
four
violations
parking
the
lot
area.
The
lot
area
for
the
house
on
the
left
is
actually
34
58
square
feet
and
a
five
thousand.
The
far
for
the
house
on
the
left
would
be
1.73
and
then
the
side
yard
setback
on
the
left
would
be
7.2.
AJ
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
I
should
go
to
the
office
of
Network
Services
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
Our
office
did
hold
an
operator's
meeting
of
July
of
2022.
The
applicant
had
Community
engagement,
presenting
to
the
Harvard
Washington
Association
about
five
times.
The
proponent
did
feel
that
they
made
changes
in
detail
requirements
to
suffice.
AJ
AJ
D
BE
Yes,
ma'am
good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
in
the
office
of
City
councilor,
Brian,
Morrell
And
in
regards
to
one
slash,
1A
Carmen
Street,
and
the
feedback
from
voters,
including
the
changes
that
were
made.
They
haven't
committed
to
installing
security
cameras
and
committed
to
no
construction
on
the
weekends
and,
like
Miss
Williams,
said,
there's
one
letter
of
support
from
the
budding
Civic
and
with
that,
the
council
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board
and
recommend
it
and
recommends
a
bpda
design
review
if
approved.
X
A
G
AO
Yes,
Mr
secretary
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adams
and
moransi
business
address
of
168,
8th
Street
first
floor
South
Boston
joining
me
today
is
the
owner.
Andrew
Ulrich,
The
Proposal
in
front
of
us
today
is
for
a
use
of
premise
permit
to
allow
for
three
off
street
parking
spaces
in
the
rear
of
599
East
5th
Street,
which
is
an
existing
three
family.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
the
advertisement
in
the
agenda
was
was
incorrect
for
this.
That
was
the
previous
proposal.
AO
AO
So
again,
so
this
proposal
calls
for
three
side-by-side
spaces
measuring
eight
and
a
half
by
Twenty
Feet.
The
rare
parking
will
be
accessed
by
a
public
way
named
Beckler
Avenue,
which
is
located
off
of
K
Street,
just
want
to
give
you
a
little
more
insight
on
Beckler
Avenue,
so
Beckley
Avenue
is
a
public
way
in
a
dead
end
Street,
which
leads
directly
into
the
rare
lot
of
599
East
5th
Street.
AO
There
is
parking
only
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
Butler
Ave,
currently
South
Boston
residents
pulled
down
baclarath
and
then
we'll
have
to
reverse
out
of
baccarat
onto
K
Street,
as
there
is
no
maneuverability
to
turn
their
vehicles
around
and
drive
the
nose
of
the
car
out
back
onto
K
Street.
As
for
this
parking
proposals,
cars
will
safely
drive
straight
down.
AO
Next,
is
the
proposed
condition
showing
permeable
pavers
for
the
parking
spaces
to
assist
with
drainage.
A
new
shade
tree
in
the
rail
yard
and
Evergreen
plantings
in
the
four
foot
side
yard
buffer.
The
specified
shrub
columnar
English
U
is
a
salt
tolerant
to
withstand
the
winter
salts.
There
is
also
a
locust
plant
in
the
upper
left
corner.
Lastly,
a
comprehended,
comprehensive
drainage
plant
has
already
been
approved
by
the
Boston
water
and
sewer
company.
That
leads
us
with.
We
have
on
the
updated
refusal
we
recited
for
two
violations.
AO
One
for
access
to
the
parking
area
is
not
10
foot
wide
again.
I
just
want
to
reiterate:
there's
an
existing
passageway
already
in
place,
that
is,
that
is
9
feet,
10
inches
and
then
also
we
were
cited
for
open
space,
but
we
believe
this
was
this.
Citation
was
given
an
error
currently
as
far
as
open
space
is
approximately
2
365
square
feet
of
open
space,
but
with
the
parking
allocated
into
it,
it
reduces
apart
the
open
space
down
to
a
1001
square
feet.
AO
A
Thank
you
and
I
I
think
I
think
honest
can
answer
this.
But
again
you
were
Outcast
for
six
and
bpd's
recommendation
is
based
on
sex
parking
spaces.
Has
there
been
processed
since
been
around
the
three?
Yes.
AO
There
there
was
and
I'm
sure
Anna
white
from
the
mayor's
office
can
actually
testify.
So
we've
had
two
of
Butters
meetings
and
as
well
as
a
full
in-person
Civic
meeting
as
well.
AS
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
I'm
Anna
white,
with
the
mayor
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
RNs,
hosting
a
Butters
meeting
for
5.99
601
East
5th
Street
on
November
29,
2022,
close
to
a
dozen
of
others
attended
the
meeting,
the
ones
who
spoke
had
many
concerns
and
objections
about
the
proposal.
The
main
concern
had
to
do
with
increasing
the
number
of
cars
driving
on
Beckler
Avenue.
We've
received
five
letters
in
opposition
and
two
in
support.
Those
of
all
been
shared
with
this
board.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
AS
R
Members,
since
they
were
born
from
Council
president
Link's
office,
the
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
a
position
due
to
the
proposal
based
on
his
long-standing
focus
on
pedestrian
safety.
In
the
neighborhood
of
note,
there
was
a
good
Community
process
where
the
team
worked
with
neighbors
on
several
designs
of
the
project
in
number
of
parking
spaces,
as
well
as
attention
to
drainage
or
a
slow
removal
issues
which
did
claim
support
in
the
community.
R
However,
all
our
neighbors
are
brothers
and
young
families
on
Beckler
Avenue,
ultimately,
Express
concern
that
this
project
will
change
the
dynamic
of
the
directory
that
they
have
known
and
will
lead
to
pedestrian
safety
issues.
At
this
time,
council
president
fling
is
supposed
to
tourist
focus
on
pedestrian
safety.
Thank
you.
L
City
councilor
Atlas
Michael
Flaherty
acknowledging
the
computer
process
that
went
to
drafting
article
68.
There
are
parties
that
do
warrant
Merit.
This
Memorial
the
counselor,
has
heard
from
all
parties
in
the
neighborhood
and
do
this
product
do
this
project.
There
was
a
community
process
where
he
threw
the
proposal
went
through
some
reiterations
with
neighbors
on
designs.
As
far
as
the
number
of
spaces,
the
attention
to
drainage
the
snow
removal.
L
There
is
some
support
at
this
particular
time.
Council
feels
that,
with
the
the
the
parking
crisis
going
on
South
Boston
that
at
six
spaces
would
be
helpful
in
the
neighborhood.
Due
to
that
Victorian
support.
D
AU
I
lived
on
K
Street,
305,
K,
Street,
Danny
Picard.
We
can't
find
any
parking
on
the
street
as
it
is.
It's
really
getting
out
of
hand.
It's
ridiculous,
so
I
support
this
project
strongly
and
I
support
any
and
all
off
street
parking.
Y
M
AV
In
the
me
573
7th
Street,
we
have
a
couple
projects
there:
developer
I'm
in
support
of
the
project,
guys
go
north
to
south
south
to
North
on
Beckler
Ave.
It's
not
like
to
go
down
one
one
specific
way.
Every
way
we
have
you
know
they
provided
multiple
pitches
of
Cosby
and
north
to
south
south
to
North
I.
Think
it's
on
our
Creek
from
the
neighborhood
three
additional
spots,
although
Butler
Ave
they
like
to
have
kids
out
there
this
this
is,
you
know
about
Pocky
and
they
pop
on
their
street.
A
Raisins
Mr
Hampton.
Would
you
like
to
weigh
in.
AF
Yeah.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Jack
Danton,
Planning
and
Zoning.
Our
recommendation
was
for
denial,
but
that
was
based
on
six
spaces
and
tandem
spots,
like
that.
I
know
that
the
proponent
has
reduced
it
down
to
three
has
increased
the
amount
of
Volcan
space
between
the
house,
the
parking
areas.
AF
If
the
board
does
approve
this
I
would
just
ask
if
they
put
Proviso
that
they'd
be
screening
and
buffering
around
the
property.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
X
Yes,
it's
my
Madam
chair
members
of
the
boardwalk
nicobichi
Dave
I
have
reviewed
the
plans
and
it
does
work
from
an
operational
standpoint
and
we
are
inundated
with
complaints
from
South
Boston
about
the
lack
of
parking
and
I
think
that
to
a
small
degree,
this
will
help
that
situation
based
on
the
design
I
have
a
problem
with
it
and
I
give
my
my
support
this
project.
Thank
you.
Thank.

AL
This
property
is
located
at
207
209
E
Street
in
South
Boston.
It
was
formerly
used
as
a
Convent
for
the
Catholic
Church
and
most
recently
has
been
used
for
by
an
organization
called
paraclete,
a
non-profit
who
provides
academic,
Enrichment
Services.
AL
AL
The
current
affordability
on
this
is
I
believe
16
of
the
units
to
assuming
persons
earning
up
to
30
percent
of
the
area,
median
income
and
the
remaining
19
rented
to
seniors
earning
up
to
50
percent
of
barium
Union
income.
So
there's
a
really
high
level
of
affordability
here
project
will
involve
the
restoration
of
the
existing
building,
in
particular
the
facade
preservation
of
the
front
yard.
AL
As
you
can
see
in
this
picture,
there's
a
pretty
large
front
yard
area
which
is
rare
in
this
neighborhood
and
then
there's
going
to
be
an
addition
on
onto
the
rear
of
the
building.
As
you
can
see
here,.
BG
So
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
program.
My
name
is
Donna
Brown
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
South,
Boston,
Neighborhood,
Development,
Corporation
and,
and
this
site
is
a
rare
opportunity
in
South
Boston
for
us
to
acquire
a
privately
owned
property
and
convert
it
to
100,
affordable
senior
housing,
which
is
a
growing
need
not
only
in
our
neighborhood
but
across
the
city.
So
the
paraclete
Foundation
has
agreed
to
sell
us
the
site
with
for
a
low
market
price,
a
million
dollars
less
than
the
appraised
value
of
the
site
with
two
conditions.
BG
They
wanted
us
to
preserve
the
existing
building
of
the
facade
and
the
front
open
space
to
the
benefit
of
the
community
and
also
to
commemorate
the
use
of
the
site.
As
a
convent,
the
we're
proposing
35
units
we
currently
manage
some
other,
affordable
senior
housing
developments
and-
and
this
number
of
units
is
really
key
for
us
to
be
able
to
provide
the
services
that
seniors
need
on
site.
BG
We're
proposing
an
addition
at
the
rear
of
the
site,
since
the
condition
of
the
sales
that
we
preserve
the
front
open
space
in
order
to
provide
two
elevators,
which
is
necessary
for
senior
housing
and
to
provide
sufficient
number
of
units.
So
we've
been
working
with
the
community
we've
submitted
over
100
letters
of
support
on
this
project.
This
is
again
a
rare
opportunity
for
us
to
create
some
some
very,
very
needed,
affordable
senior
housing.
Michelle
Obama
can
walk
you
through
the
designs
she's,
our
architect
from
icons,
architecture.
BF
Thanks
Donna,
so,
as
you
can
see
here
in
the
site
plan,
we're
really
maintaining
that
green
foreign
Court,
which
is
such
a
gem
in
the
neighborhood
working
with
some
new
Pathways
to
make
sure
that
it's
fully
accessible
for
the
senior
population
and
we've
got
a
new
entrance
to
the
building.
That's
in
the
addition
at
the
rear
where,
as
Donna
mentioned,
there
are
two
elevators,
as
well
as
a
new
code,
compliant
stair.
BF
So
off
we're
maintaining
around
the
property,
not
only
the
existing
building
and
the
enhancing
its
facade
or
repairing
its
facade,
but
also
there's
a
lovely
masonry
fence
that
surrounds
a
good
portion
of
the
site
and
has
some
wrought
iron
as
well
associated
with
that.
So
we're
maintaining
all
of
that
and
using
the
existing
entrance
off
of
E
Street
as
our
access
point,
but
then
coming
to
plan
South
along
the
edge
of
the
building
towards
the
addition
at
the
rear.
Next
slide,
just
a
little
bit
about
the
plans.
BF
The
lower
plans
showing
that
ground
level,
where
you're,
seeing
at
the
existing
at
the
new
Wing
Lobby
space,
as
well
as
an
office
that
can
provide
opportunity
for
service
coordinator
and
property
Management's
trash,
which
of
course
is
one
of
those
things
that
has
to
be
dealt
with
on
site
and
then
the
primary
the
existing
building
is
primarily
units
all
the
way
up,
with
one
exception.
On
the
second
floor
of
a
sitting.
BF
Room
second
floor
is
quite
special:
it
used
to
have
have
a
chapel
in
it
and
it's
got
a
higher
floored
floor
and
taller
windows,
so
we
wanted
to
provide
some
community
space
there
that
might
be
more
quiet
and
look
over
that
green
space.
Otherwise,
the
units
just
begin
to
stack
as
you
go
up
the
building
next.
BF
So
the
third
and
fourth
floor
are
really
the
same,
just
maintaining
that
unit
stacking
and
then
on
the
top
floor.
One
thing
that
we
could
see
in
the
accident
metric
at
the
beginning,
that
perhaps
wasn't
so
obvious-
is
There's,
A,
really
lovely
Solarium
in
the
existing
building.
BF
That
is
a
fifth
actual
fifth
floor
and
was
accessed
with
an
elevator,
which
of
course,
is
not
code
compliant
we're
maintaining
that
Solarium
and
augmenting
it
in
filling
all
the
way
across
the
width
of
the
existing
building
to
offer
additional
community
space,
as
well
as
the
laundry
room,
so
folks
can
kind
of
relax
and
connect,
while
there
might
be
waiting
for
their
laundry
next.
BF
So
here's
an
axon
of
what
you'd
see
from
the
street
as
you
can
see
that
addition
is
really
a
bit
of
a
peekaboo
there's,
not
a
lot
of
a
lot
of.
If
it's
visible
from
the
streets,
you
can
just
barely
kind
of
catch
that
fifth
floor
Solarium
on
the
existing
building.
So
the
new
addition
is
intended
to
to
equate
with
that
height
with
that
fifth
floor
and
it
is
building
off
of
so
we
we
didn't
want
to
compete
with
the
masonry
facade
of
existing
building.
BF
BF
And
then
the
elevations,
as
was
mentioned,
we're
asking
for
Relief
primarily
associated
with
the
setbacks
for
the
new
addition.
He
is
a
tight
squeeze
to
get
it
in
there
and
so
on.
This
facade
is
within
three
feet
or
just
three
feet
of
the
property
line,
which
is
why
there
are
no
windows
on
the
on
the
new
construction
wing
of
this
particular
facade.
BF
BF
Here
we're
seeing
the
rear
facade
where
there
is
a
projection
that
cantilevers
over
the
ground
level,
so
that
there's
really
need
to
access
the
trash
room
and
have
the
sidewalk
against
the
existing
masonry
fence
that
you
really
want
to
maintain
and
want
to
undermine.
Next.
BF
AS
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
I'm
Anna
Waite,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
207-209
E
Street
was
the
bpda
project,
the
bpda
a
held
a
robust
Community
process.
The
proponent
has
submitted
a
petition
and
support
with
over
80
signatures
from
Boston
and
the
surrounding
area.
The
Cityside
neighborhood
association
opposes
this
project
due
to
lack
of
parking,
even
though
they
support
senior
housing,
especially
in
this
neighborhood.
AS
R
Office,
the
councilor
is
strongly
supported.
This
proposal.
Affordable
housing
is
desperately
lacking
in
South
Boston.
The
increasing
pressure
of
the
real
estate
market
has
led
to
the
displacement
of
many
low
and
minor
income
residents.
Putting
our
seniors
in
a
particularly
vulnerable
position,
the
property
or
on
East
Street
provides
a
unique
opportunity
to
protect
our
Beloved
Community
Building,
formerly
and
convenient
of
the
Saint
Augustine
Parish
by
providing
much
needed
senior
housing
for
the
neighborhood.
R
The
counselor
has
worked
with
Southwestern
MBC
on
community
events,
and
it
is
impressed
by
their
dedication
and
hard
work
on
behalf
of
our
community.
They
have
another
a
strong
organization
and
track
record
for
the
development
and
management
of
affordable
housing
and
is
dedicated
to
serving
the
community
through
neighborhood
development
and
community
outreach.
R
AK
BH
You
hear
me
now,
yes,
awesome.
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Caitlin
Carpenter
and
I'm
a
senior
project
manager
at
the
bpda.
This
project
completed
its
article
80
review
process,
including
one
bpda,
sponsored
public
meeting,
an
additional
proponent,
hosted
at
Butters
meetings
and
was
approved.
BH
The
PDA
board
on
January
19
2023.
I,
wanted
to
emphasize
the
planning
review
that
went
into
this
bpda
determination
that
this
adaptive
reuse
of
the
existing
buildings
and
appropriate
Redevelopment
of
the
site.
The
key
considerations
of
bpda
Staff
during
the
review
of
the
proposed
project
included
the
provision
of
several
accessible
entrances
for
the
site
for
the
residents
of
the
building,
as
well
as
preservation
of
the
existing
mature
trees
on
site
to
to
the
maximum
extent
possible,
and
also
providing
adequate
maneuverability
for
the
two
proposed
parking
spaces
on
the
side
of
the
building.
BH
This
project
will
provide
much
needed,
affordable
senior
housing
to
South
Boston.
The
bpda
board
found
that
to
be
consistent
with
the
city's
goals
and
has
the
full
support
of
the
agency
and
the
board.
This
project
also
receives
support
for
many
members
of
community
elected
officials,
as
Anna
White
had
said
before.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Leslie
likes
I'm,
a
resident
of
12
Beckler
Avenue
I
put
my
name
in
because
we
did
not
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
on
599
601
yeah,
we're
done
with
that.
Okay,
so
you're
looking
to
give
testimony
on
this
one.
No,
but
I
didn't
get
it.
So,
oh,
okay,
let
me
get
minor,
go
ahead.
Q
It
is
we
pleasure
we
all
on
support
of
this
project
and
with
this
a
great
friend
for
the
community.
Thank
you
thank.
D
L
Okay,
Nigeria
members
of
the
board
Paul
Sullivan
for
city
council
at
large,
Michael
Flaherty.
We
had
previously
submitted
a
letter
along
with
council
president
bpda,
we're
in
support
here
today.
The
counselor
would
like
to
state
that
the
property
of
History
provides
a
unique
opportunity
to
protect
the
Malone
Community
Building,
formerly
economy
of
Saint
Augustine
Paris
well
provide
much
leading
senior
housing
in
the
neighborhood.
You've
been
navigating
senior
housing
in
South
Boston
a
number
of
years
now
I'm
late
to
go
on
residence
wrong.
It's
important!
Thank
you.
D
BB
I
think
that
I
profession,
the
feeling
of
all
our
Philippines
about
supporting
the
performance
in
Korea,
but
not
the
way,
it's
being
embarrassed.
BB
The
addition
in
the
in
the
back
of
the
building
that
will
eliminate
the
parking
completed
the
parking
spots
in
Nevada,
we'll
explore
the
sunlight
to
the
Northwest
evening.
We
will
dramatically
reduce
the
open
space
and
separation
with
experience
and
will
pass
the
privacy
of
the
units
that
are
facing.
Our
eco1205
is
true.
BB
BB
Sports
are
going
to
remain
the
the
Army
building
is
gonna
literally
turn
into
one
way
could
start
one
way
to
stream,
yes
for
serving
it
servicing
and
accepting
the
buildings.
There
is
no
amount
of
ability
for
people
to
to
go
in
and
out
there
that
they
will
have
to
pack
up
the
street
all
the
way
and
I
think
that
special
critical.
We
are
talking
about
emergency
vehicles
and
especially
firefighters,
that
will
compromise
the
accessibility.
BB
BG
BG
We've
also
moved
the
entrance
to
the
side
so
that
there's
elevator
access
and
handicapped
access
without
having
to
make
a
major
alteration
to
the
front
facade
of
the
building,
which
is
also
a
requirement
of
the
seller,
to
preserve
the
front
facade
so
and
the
rare
part
of
the
building
where
the
solarium
is
now
is
where
the
building
is
five
stories.
So
any
elevator
would
need
to
go
to
the
five
stories
it
needs
to
be
at
the
back
of
the
building
and
that's
why
we've
designed
building
weight
is.
I
AY
AY
I'm,
a
neighbor
I'm
in
a
butter
I'm,
not
representing
the
property.
Okay,
sorry.
AX
Am
the
owner
of
the
of
the
house
in
the
11
London
I'm,
the
applicant
yes,
okay,
I'm
joined
here
with
my
engineering
team
and
I
will
ask
him.
Mr
Masood
is
here
with
me
and
he
will
be
explaining
the
drawing
and
our
plans.
G
G
AD
BJ
Okay,
good
sorry
about
that,
so
the
house
is
a
single
family
house
with
a
basement
and
two
stories,
the
existing
house.
So
we
are
adding
this
third
story
and
the
take
above
and
the
roof,
and
we
also
extending
the
deck
in
the
back
of
the
building
almost
four
feet
in
the
rear,
left
side
of
the
building
and
existing
take.
His
two
stories
is
gonna,
be
three
stories.
Take.
BJ
Which
exactly
shows
what
is
the
height?
Yes,
on
the
right
side,
you
see,
what
is
the
on
the
gray.
Is
you
showing
the
existing
building
and
anything
about
the
gray
line?
Is
the
proposed
addition
with
the
deck
and
the
left
side
which
is
depicted
in
the
picture
shows
the
extension
of
the
deck
and
the
left
side.
BJ
A
BJ
The
this
is
the
future,
we'll
scroll
up
again.
So
this
is
a
existing
Cloud
plan
and
this
the
first
stage
is
proposed
block
lab.
Yes,
this
is
proposed
blood,
so
the
existing
building
is
a
basement
to
a
story.
Building
and
the
deck
in
the
back
and
our
proposed
building
will
be
a
three-story
building
with
the
deck
on
the
roof
and
a
tree
story
deck
in
the
back
with
four
feet:
extension
of
the
deck
in
the
rear,
left
side
of
the
building.
AX
AX
AX
A
AX
There's
currently
a
deck,
a
single
deck
in
the
back.
What
we
want
to
do
is
that
we
want
to
put
kind
of
enclosed
decks
so
that
it
can
be
almost
like
a
three
Season
room
rather
than
just
a
deck.
A
BJ
Zoning,
whether
the
denial,
whether
that's
received
from
The
Zone
board
of
appeals,
it's
calling
for
article
62
roof
structure,
restrictions
from
article
62
section
25,
was.
H
That
you
know
I
wanted
to
I,
wanted
to
understand.
What's
in
existing
condition,
and
and
what
are
you
proposing
and
what
are
you
proposing
right?
Are
the
violations
of
the
side
yards
existing
conditions,
except
for
the
addition
just
help
us
understand
the
far

BJ
Heights

insufficient
I.
BJ
AR
I
BJ
A

So
I
I,
don't
think,
should
be
any

If
we
do
this
proposed
building
like
extending
the
big
four
feet
like
in
Washington,
to
take
four
feet
in

so
the
right.

Since

M

You
hi.
Oh
sorry,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Elaine
Donovan
with
Council
of
Carter's
office.
Our
office
has
received
several
inquiries
in
letters
from
Neighbors,
including
direct
abundance
of
great
concern
over
the
height
density
and
lack
of
concern
for
Native
privacy
and
quality
of
life
in
this
small
neighborhood
councilman
Coletta
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
strong
opposition
to
this
project.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AY
You
Rose,
yes,
can
you
hear
me
yep?
Oh
hi?
Yes,
my
name's
Rose
Ellen
log
I
live
directly
across
from
11
Ludlow
I
met
three
Ludlow
Street
I'm,
a
director
butter
and
I,
was
at
the
community
meeting
that
took
place
one
year
ago
and
with
four
other
letters,
and
all
of
us
opposed
this
proposal.
And
since
then
the
owners
have
not
reached
out
and
engaged
in
any
Community
engagement
with
us
at
all.
To
speak
with
us
about
our
concerns.
AY
I
am
directly
impacted
by
the
proposed
nine
foot.
Third
story:
Egyptian
and
roof
deck
that
they
plan
on
putting
out
the
front
of
their
property
as
it's
going
to
Tower
over
my
property,
which
is
a
two-story
directly
across
the
street.
I'd
also
like
to
point
out
that
Ludlow
Street
is
a
very
narrow
Street.
The
street
is
actually
only
about
six
feet
wide
six
feet.
It's
just
large
enough
for
one
vehicle
to
drive
down.
So
this
third
story:
practitioners,
gonna
Tower
over
my
property.
It's
going
to
block
my
view.
AY
It's
going
to
block
my
light
and
it's
and
it's
it's
going
to
block
the
air
I'd,
also
like
to
point
out
that
the
owners
of
this
property
have
never
ever
lived
in
the
property
and
have
given
absolutely
no
justification
for
a
variance,
and
it's
a
grossly
inappropriate
addition
and
I
also
think
with
the
plans
for
the
back.
The
third,
the
three
editions
at
the
back
I
think
they've
labeled
them
as
enclosed
decks,
but
they're
actually,
three
additional
rooms
that
they're
building
on
and
the
plans
do
not
include
any
square
footage.
M
BM
Yes,
I.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
the
zoning
board
for
having
this
meeting
the
mayor's
office
as
well,
and
the
bpda
I
would
like
to
speak
as
a
direct
wall.
Scanner
neighbor
to
all
have
a
lot
of
low
Street,
I
I
live
at
about
12
level
and
a
few
concerns
I
have
one
being
the
the
wall
sharing
component
of
this
project
with
the
third
floor
and
the
three
roams
off
the
back
and
then
the
roof
deck
on
top.
BM
You
know
the
load
of
this
size
of
a
project
to
me
during
the
construction
process
and
the
aftermath
of
the
the
completion.
If,
hopefully
it
doesn't
get
approved,
I
I
don't
want
it.
I,
just
I
fear
what
a
house
from
the
late
1800s
and
a
foundation
of
that
stature
from
that
time
period
is
able
to
hold
I
I,
don't
I
also
believe
the
privacy
part
of
this
product
was
brought
up
in
the
sunlight.
BM
Shade
point
now,
when
I
sit
on
the
back
porch
with
myself
in
the
family
or
excuse
me
in
my
backyard,
you
know
we
enjoy
the
sunlight
through
the
park
and
then
as
it
sets
it
sits.
You
know
right
perfectly
in
my
back
yeah,
but
we
can
enjoy
La
dinner
or
you
know
just
hanging
out
and
if
there's
four
to
six
feet
of
extra
space,
I'm
gonna
lose
that
and
everyone.
You
know
it's
precious
time
and
it's
it's
precious
light
and
all
of
it
that
I
feel
is
gonna,
make
it
hotter.
A
BN
I,
yes,
I
would
just
like
to
piggyback
on
what
Frank
and
Rose
Allen
were
saying.
The
magnitude.
AW
Of
the
size
of
this
home
that
they
are
looking
to
build
with
the
three
enclosed
Court
decks
off
the
back,
which
really
seemed
like
just
a
guise
for
extra
living
space,
as
well
as
a
third
floor
and
a
roof
deck
and
extensions
off
the
back
four
feet.
Extension.
This
is
a
large
hole
so
to
what
Frank
was
saying.
AW
I
I'd
rather
see
the
house
to
exist,
as
it
is.
Thank.
G
Y
A
Y
A
AX
There
are
no
additional
rooms
that
is
being
built,
as
I
said,
the
enclosed
back
area
is
designed
so
that
it
will
be
used
as
a
three-season
rooms
if
you
will
or
additional
space
to
the
living
room,
because
it's
a
very
tiny
house-
and
currently
we
have
a
deck
that
opens
up
to
the
deck.
We
just
want
to
enclose
that
deck,
so
we
are
not
building
another
room
there.
Number
one
number
two
is
that
the
adjacent
building
right
next
to
us
is
already
third
floor.
AX
So
the
foundation
again,
we
have
a
structural
engineering
drawings
and
all
the
necessary
technical
documents
that
we've
gone
through
extensive
amount
of
engineering
calculations
and
whatnot,
and
you
know
it's
being
built
based
on
what
the
structure
and
Engineers
has
told
us
that
how
it
needs
to
be
constructed
and
again
the
all
the
plans
are
already
submitted
to
you,
so
I'm
not
really
I.
Don't
think
that
that
that
should
be
an
issue.
And
lastly,
as
I
said,
there
are
already
homes.
AX
There
are
three
story
tall
in
that
same
exact
street
and
I
I.
We
I
I,
live
there
I,
you
know,
I,
don't
see
how
that's
gonna.
You
know:
stop
the
air
from
flowing
into
a
lot
of
the
street
or
stop
the
sun
to
shine
on
a
lot
of
the
street,
as
it
has
always
done.
So
thank.
BH
T
BO
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Richard
Linds
I'm,
an
attorney
for
the
applicant
with
the
business
address
of
245
Sumner
Street
East
Boston
good
afternoon
Madam
chair.
We
are
back
before
the
board
actually
on
this
project
to
request
now,
one
variance
only
and
that
is
for
residential
use,
which
is
not
recruited
in
an
economic
development
area
known
as
an
Eda
sub
District.
Just
briefly,
granting
this
one
variance
will
actually
accomplish
three
things
for
this
project.
BO
First,
it
would
allow
for
a
new
dimensionally
compliant
structure,
creating
nine
homeownership
opportunities,
including
four
units
with
three
bedrooms
and
a
ground
level
accessible
unit.
If
we
can
jump
down
to
slide
four,
that
would
probably
give
us
a
better
perspective
of
the
area,
maybe
one
more
there
we
go
perfect.
BO
Second,
it
eliminates
an
original
proposal
Madam
chair,
that
to
this
site
that
would
construct
a
short-term
rental
executive
suites,
which
is
actually
a
lot
of
use
in
this
District,
and
we
dismiss
current
pending
litigation
of
Superior
Court
from
a
prior
case
involving
the
site
and
last
and
probably
most
importantly,
this
project,
if
approved,
would
voluntarily
commit
two
of
these
nine
units
as
affordable
home
ownership
opportunities
out
of
the
IDP
I.
Think
it's
important
to
stress
for
the
board
as
they
consider
this
proposal.
BO
There
is
no
IDT
requirement
for
this
project
at
nine
units
because
it
does
fall
below
the
10-minute
threshold
but,
more
importantly,
the
developer
has
agreed
to
commit
to
two
of
those
units
for
the
IDP,
which
represents
22
percent
of
this
project.
By
way
of
brief
background,
this
is
a
5
000
square
foot
lot
located.
As
I
mentioned,
the
McClellan
Highway
Economic
Development
Development
Area
members
of
the
board,
maybe
aware
that
the
Eda
district
is
one
of
the
most
flexible
zoning
districts
in
East
Boston,
for
when
it
comes
to
high
density
and
setback.
BO
Despite
predominant
residential
use
in
this
neighborhood,
including
a
very
large
scale,
multi-family
Residential
Building,
located
directly
across
the
street
ironically,
residential
use,
is
actually
forbidden
in
the
Eda,
which
is
just
sort
of
an
anomaly
under
the
Boston
zoning
code,
especially
article
53.,
as
residential
uses,
were
not
permitted
at
this
site.
The
proponent
for
this
project
initially
filed
for
and
as
a
right
project
in
2019,
and
at
that
time,
executive
suites
were
permitted
as
a
matter
of
right.
BO
There
was
no
zoning
relief
necessary
for
that
and
that
building
that
was
proposed
in
the
private
was
file
was
substantially
the
same
size
in
Baltimore,
as
well
as
setback
as
the
current
buildings
being
proposed
today.
But
during
the
tendency
of
that
appeal
in
Madam
chair,
the
Boston
zoning
Commission
had
made
an
amendment
to
the
Boston
zoning
code
with
respect
to
executive
suites
of
the
city
of
Boston
following
a
policy,
and
certainly
a
concern
of
the
city
that
executive
suites,
created
short-term
transient
housing
and
certainly
took
away
from
residential
opportunities.
BO
Executive
suites
were
made
a
conditional
use
and
therefore,
while
our
permit
was
pending,
we
were
forced
to
then
appear
before
the
zoning
board.
At
which
time
both
neighbors
opposed
our
project
for
executive
suites,
as
well
as
the
vpda,
the
prior
board
after
hearing
the
case
denied
our
request
for
executive
suites,
even
though
it
was
technically
in
a
lot
of
views
in
The
District
in
favor
of
a
more
appropriate
use
for
the
site
which
they
consider
to
be
residential,
that
matter
was
then
appealed
and
is
presently
pending
before
the
superior
court
with
ongoing
litigation.
BO
Regarding
that
zoning.
So,
with
respect
to
the
current
proposal,
if
we
could
jump
down
to
slide
nine,
what
we're
proposing
is
essentially
building
that
is
dimensionally
compliant
with
the
Eda
sub-district
requirements.
The
only
difference
is
now
the
use
so,
rather
than
having
an
Executive
Suite,
short-term
rental,
building,
we're
proposing
a
building
that
offers
home
ownership
and.
BO
Street,
all
you
really
see
is
residential
uses,
although
there
are
some
commercial
users
as
well
as
this
board
is
aware
of
both
mayor
Wu
and
the
Boston
city
council
are
taking
steps
to
increase
the
IEP
requirement
for
projects
that
in
housing,
including
increase
in
the
minimum
requirements
of
13
up
to
20,
and
lowering
the
threshold
from
10
to
7
units
for
idps
trigger.
Once
again,
this
project
is
already
below
the
IDP
requirements,
but
recognizing
the
importance
of
creating
affordable
housing
opportunities
by
client
is
on
entirely
contributing
to
units,
and
that
again
is
22.
BO
Percent
of
this
project
would
be
set
aside
for
IDP
and
again,
as
I
said,
that
change
is
not
even
has
not
even
been
put
into
place.
Yet
we
recognize
the
importance
of
contributing,
especially
with
respect
to
this
project
again
only
requiring
one
variance.
So
if
we
can
jump
down
to
slide
and
again,
I
appreciate
the
board
giving
me
an
opportunity
to
express
the
background
behind
this,
but
if
we
can
jump
down
to
slide
12,
if
you
can
go
down
further
one
more
slide,
let's
go
one.
BO
One
refer
to
the
garage,
so,
as
you
can
see
here,
the
site
is
a
5
000
square
foot
site.
Our
building
sits
on
the
site
for
the
20-foot
setback
in
the
rear,
which
is
compliant.
We
do
show
a
total
of
seven
parking
spaces
that
are
in
a
garage.
Those
seven
parking
spaces
would
be
compliant
with
the
requirements
of
the
code.
Even
though
we're
only
required
to
have
six
parking,
we
do
show
sort
of
a
tandem
arrangement
with
those
compact
spaces
located
behind
the
first
unit.
BO
You
can
also
see
unit
one,
which
is
a
one
bedroom
accessible
unit
located
in
the
lower
level.
Next
slide,
please,
as
we
got
to
the
second
level,
we
see
that
it's
two
three
four
and
five
just
real
quickly,
I'm
gonna
show
you
there's
three:
a
total
of
three
one
bedrooms,
two
two
bedrooms
and
four
three
bedroom
units:
the
importance
being
the
three
bedroom
units
certainly
allowed
for
a
much
larger
living
space,
certainly
to
accommodate
a
family
size
unit
and
those
units
are
all
over
1100
square
feet.
BO
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
we
can
see
our
third
level
so
yeah,
it's
six.
Seven.
Eight!
Nine
are
shown
here
on
the
level
three
plan.
These
are
bi-level
units.
They
also
have
additional
space
on
the
fourth
level,
and
if
we
can
jump
to
that
next
slide,
please
and
our
fourth
level
shows
the
upper
portions
of
those
units.
Six
seven,
eight
nine
one
of
the
things
I
will
point
out
is
that
that
fourth
level
actually
has
a
reduced
bulb.
BO
So,
even
though
we
are
in
four
stories
which
is
compliant
again
with
the
ede
requirements
for
under
article
53,
we
do
scale
in
that
upper
level
to
allow
for
not
only
some
outdoor
space
for
those
units,
but
also
to
reduce
the
bulk
of
the
building
as
well.
Next
slide,
please
just
our
roof
plan.
In
response
to
some
of
the
conversations
that
we
did
here
through
both
the
abutters
meeting,
as
well
as
our
appearance
before
the
Harvard
Review
neighbors
Association,
we
have
agreed
not
to
include
roof
decks.
BO
That
was
a
specific
request
that
was
asked
by
one
of
the
director
Butters.
So
there
were
no
roof
decks
being
proposed
in
connection
with
this
project.
Next,
five
months,
just
our
section
plan
and
I
think
we
can
jump
to
our
elevation
plans
next
slide.
Please
next
slide,
so
our
elevation
shows
both
the
front
and
the
rear.
BO
As
you
can
see,
there
are
some
front
balconies
off
of
the
lower
units,
as
well
as
that
upper
unit,
and
then
the
upper
unit
showing
from
the
rear,
does
have
some
outdoor
space
as
well
again,
no
no
roof
deck
shown
above
the
fourth
level.
Next
time,
please.
BO
Showing
our
left
elevation,
we
don't
show
any
windows
on
the
left
side.
We
specifically
Incorporated.
We
see
no
window
to
be
on
the
popular
building
itself.
We
do
see
some
decks
at
the
second
third
and
fourth
levels.
Those
are
set
back
as
I
mentioned
that
that
bolt
and
that
fourth
level
is
actually
pulled
back
pretty
well
next
time.
Please.
BO
And
that
is
our
right
side
elevation
again
pulling
back
on
the
midsection
of
the
building
to
allow
for
some
outdoor
space
as
well
as
Jackson,
affordable
by
way
of
relief.
As
I
said
earlier
in
the
introduction
Madam
chair,
this
requires
one
variance.
The
building
itself
is
designed
to
be
dimensionally
compliant
on
article
53
EA.
We
also
recognize,
certainly
the
significance
and
importance
of
plantings.
Boston
is
my
understanding.
The
bpda
has
recommended
approval
with
design
review
for
this
project,
certainly
and
I'm.
BO
Certain
we'll
hear
some
comments
about
planning's
possible
with
respect
to
this
bear
in
mind
that
planes
fossil
is
intended
also
to
be
flexible,
especially
where
a
project
is
contemplating
providing
affordable
housing.
As
I
said,
this
project
does
not
require
any
IDP
units.
We
recognize
the.
BO
AV
BO
Need
for
IDP,
and
we
certainly
would
ask
the
board,
consider
that
and
recognize
the
variance
that
we're
requesting
respect
to
the
height
of
the
building,
we're
at
45
feet.
45
is
the
maximum
allowed
in
the
district
with
respect
to
the
there
is
no
minimum
lot
size
lot.
Width
a
lot
of
Frontage
requirements
in
the
modal
setback
to
the
front
of
the
building
is
something
that's
typically
addressed
as
part
of
BPD
design
review
with
respect
to
the
rear
yard,
as
I
mentioned,
we
do
allow
for
20-foot
setback
for
the
rear
property
line.
BO
That
is
the
minimum
rate
setback
that
would
be
maintained
as
open
space.
We
are
also
proposing
to
incorporate
Street
trees
on
the
front
of
the
building
and,
in
connection
with
this,
we've
also
agreed
to
make
a
contribution
to
tree
easy
to
allow
for
tree
planting
within
the
Harbor
View
neighborhood
I
will
pause
there
Madam
chair
to
address
any
comments
or
questions
that
the
board
may
have.
A
Thank
you,
I
do
have
a
quick
question,
so
you
mentioned
the
Harbor
View
neighborhood
association
and,
and
you
know
talking
about
rooftex
Etc,
so
they
did
submit
a
comment
about.
You
know
not
having
her
heard
about
this
change
until
recently
and
then
not
having
voted
on
it,
because
there
was
only
one
presentation:
I
don't
know.
If
you
wanted
to
speak
to.
BO
Them
yeah
I
can
address
that,
and
you
know,
as
a
practitioner
in
Boston
who
appears
many
times
early
before
this
board,
but
many
of
the
Civic
organizations
in
in
the
city.
You
know
I
recognize
the
importance
of
community
process.
I
also
recognize
the
importance
of
ensuring
that
we're
not
dragging
the
process
on
you
know
unnecessarily,
and
in
this
case
we
did
have
an
advisors
meeting
and
we
did
have
an
opportunity
to
present
this
to
the
harbor
harbor
view.
BO
Neighborhood
association,
I
I,
have
no
inclination
to
believe
they
would
vote
to
support
this
based
upon
the
comments
they
made.
However,
I
also
would
point
out
that
the
Harvard
University
Association
agenda
has
been
a
little
bit
busy
like
likely,
and
my
understanding
is.
They
did
not
have
room
at
their
June
meeting
for
a
number
of
my
other
presentations
they
were
taking
the
month
of
July
off
and
the
earliest
they
could
offer
is
August.
My
understanding
is
based
upon
you
know.
BO
Even
the
mayor's
executive
order
is
that
priority
should
be
given
to
projects
that
do
propose
to
create
affordable
housing.
A
lot
of
the
process
that
we
deal
with
with
Civic
organizations,
although
it
is
important,
sometimes
doesn't
give
us
the
opportunity
to
go
for
the
actual
vote,
I
fully
anticipate
that
they
would
not
vote
to
support
this
I
do
understand
that
I
believe
we
do
have
a
number
of
people
who
do
support
the
project,
however,
and
we
understand
again
the
importance
of
community
process,
so
the
Harborview
did
get
a
chance
to
review
this.
BO
They
certainly
didn't
took
a
chance
to
vote
on
it,
but
that's
part
and
parcel
an
issue
with
their
own
timing
agenda
and
their
own
procedures
and
how
they
how
they
address
these
things.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
BO
A
great
question
I
believe,
because
these
are
home
ownership
I
believe
the
Ami
is
at
80
I
I.
My
understanding,
speaking
of
ppda,
is
that
is
the
target
Ami
for
ownership
of
a
project
this
size.
Thank.

Yes,
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
We
hosted
tour
buddies
meeting
for
this
project,
one
on
November,
1st
2022
and
March
20th
of
this
year.
At
the
first
meeting,
nine
units
with
one
IDP
unit
and
10
parking
spaces
were
proposed
at
the
second
meeting.
The
applicant
proposed
nine
units
with
two
IDP
and
seven
parking
spaces
massing
was
a
bit
reduced
and
the
fourth
floor
on
the
cyber
school.
AK
It's
back,
however,
the
inventors
continue
to
be
against
the
project,
as
they
have
stated
during
both
meetings
at
the
building
that
is
being
proposed
is
Too
Tall
and
does
not
fit
in
with
their
abutting
properties.
They
have
also
stated
that
nine
units
are
too
many
units.
One
resident
that
joined
the
meeting,
complemented
the
design
choice
for
the
facade
and
asked
the
applicant
to
plant
trees.
If
possible,
the
applicant
has
presented
the
project
through
Hard
Review
Association
once
on
May
1st.
AK
However,
they
have
not
returned
for
the
second
meeting
for
a
vote
Association
asking
for
the
deferral
so
that
the
project
will
go
back
to
for
a
vote
and,
however,
during
the
first
meeting,
residents
were
displeased
with
the
height
of
the
building.
Our
office
has
received
four
letters
in
opposition
and
a
petition,
so
it
goes
with
65
signatures
and
at
this
time
our
office
would
like
to
referral
judgments
to
the
board.
Thank.
BL
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
are
laying
down
I've,
been
with
Council
of
Coletta's
office.
Our
office
has
received
full
letters
of
opposition.
It
was
also
a
great
deal
of
Naval
pushback
at
the
Harborview
neighborhood
association
meeting
on
this
project,
based
on
this
not
being
a
good
fit
for
the
neighborhood
councilman
Colette
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
opposition.
Thank
you.
D
M
Chair
I
have
10
raised
hands
right
now.
How
do
you
want
me
to.
Q
D
M
Hi
there,
my
name
is
Alexa
and
I
live
in
East
Boston
at
126,
Lexington,
Street
I'm.
In
full
support
of
this
problem.
We
have
a
housing
crisis
going
on
in
our
city,
especially
in
regards
to
affordability,
and
this
development
is
offering
two
affordable
units.
When
the
requirement
is
zero
units.
I
wish
board
developments
would
increase
the
number
of
affordables
above
the
minimum
requirements.
Thank
you
thank.
AA
You
Chris.
AD
Please
215
Princeton
Street
I
would
like
to
go
on
full
support
for
this
project.
I
feel
the
building
size
fits
the
allowed
in
the
zoning
that
it
is,
and
the
developers
voluntarily
offering
two
affordable
units
which
we
desperately
need
in
Boston
right
now,
but
I
also
feel
like
the
building
fits
well
with
the
neighborhood,
with
a
large
resident
holding
directly
across
the
street.
Thank
you,
zoom.

AP
Am
in
opposition
I
lived
at
135
Addison
Street.
My
name
is
Richard
scalamosa,
okay,
I
I,
sent
in
a
letter
of
opposition
I'm,
hoping
that
the
board
had
a
chance
to
read
it.
In
1993,
the
zoning
commission
placed
Addison
Street
into
one
of
three
economic
development
areas
where
residential
is
for
me.
I
believe
that
this
was
an
oversight
by
the
zoning
Commission,
because
there
were
one
in
two
family
homes
that
were
existing
at
the
time
of
this
decision.
AP
We
have
been
working
closely
with
the
East
Boston
plan
trying
to
be
taken
out
of
an
Eda
area,
and
we
have
been
told
that,
under
their
plan
that
the
odd
side
where
the
residential
is,
we
would
be
placed
back
into
residential
there's
no
place
for
this
on
Addison
Street
under
the
Eda
guidelines.
It's
it's
harmful
to
the
existing
residents
that
are
there
only
20
feets
allowed
in
the
rear
of
the
property
35.

Hi,
my
name
is
William
Fisher
I
live
on
129,
Lexington,
Street
and
I
approved
this
proposal.
The
units
the
proposal
does
give
affordable
units
as
well
as
parking,
both
very
needed
in
East
Boston.
Thank.
C
The
difference:
okay,
Anthony
and
then
Melissa.

BI
All
right,
sorry,
if
my
voice
sounds
a
little
off
I'm
a
bit
sick,
but
my
name
is
Melissa.
I
live
in
1097
Saratoga,
Street
Boston
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
fully
support
this
project,
but
I'm
honestly
very
grateful
that
it's
offering
affordable
housing
since
I
believe
it's
going
to
add
a
great
value
to
a
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
Thanks,
Anthony
hi.
BQ
Sorry
I
was
muted,
just
wanted
to
say,
I'm
calling
on
behalf
of
my
families.
We
own
property
of
791
Saratoga
Street
around
the
corner,
300
feet
away
from
the
site,
and
I
want
to
go
on
record
of
support
of
this
project,
offering
two
affordable
units
when
zero
are
required,
that
the
developer
should
be
applauded
for
his
project
and
I
just
want
to
go
full
support
of
this
project.
D
Okay,
Paul.
W
I'm
Paul
pascantilly
resident
at
614
Bennington
Street
in
full
support
of
this
project.
This
is
as
close
to
an
as
of
right
project.
As
you
see
and
again,
as
mentioned
prior
to
me,
you
know
teeing
up
two,
two
affordables
when
it
when
it
wasn't
necessary,
you
just
I
I,
don't
know
if
I
ever
even
seen
or
read
about
that
before
so
in
full
support.
Thank.
A
Just
take
two
more
and
let's
I
think
we
just
do
that
here:
okay,
Sandra.
AA
AV
BO
I,
don't
care
if
I
can
just
add
one
item
when
you're
ready
quickly.
Yes,
I
I
understand
that
I
don't
know
if
this
thing
happens
on
but
I
do
understand
the
vpda
with
respect
to
the
planning
spots
and
the
iPod
issue.
I
think
is
important.
The
record
that
the
bpda
recommendation
also
be
included,
which
I
believe
was
approval
with
designer.
A
Mr
Hampton
is
no
longer
on,
but
I
can
certainly
read
their
recommendation,
which
is
approval
was
provided
so
that
plans
be
submitted
to
the
agency
for
design
review.
