From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearing 10-29-19
Description
Zoning regulates the use and dimensional boundaries of privately owned buildings and land. The Zoning code is in place to protect the neighborhoods from the construction of buildings or structures that do not fit into the context of a neighborhood. The Zoning Board of Appeal hears appeals for varying the application of the Zoning Code and determines when it is appropriate to grant deviations from code restrictions.

You
can,
if
you'd
like
request
an
administrative
deferral,
and
we
will
hear
you
on
a
different
date
on
a
later
date.
You
will
be
informed
of
that
today,
let's
see
and
if
you're
here,
to
speak
in
support
or
in
opposition
to
a
project,
put
your
name
and
address
on
the
record
and
basically
base
your
testimony
on
the
violations
that
are
before
you
I'm.
Just
a
reminder
to
everybody
here
that
comments
from
the
audience
from
neighborhoods
from
the
elected
officials
from

and
the
townhouse
has
been
purchased
if
it's
been
built
as
a
single
to
double
townhouse
in
the
first
block
that
Commonwealth
Avenue
would
have
been
built
as
a
single
family
column
and
then
a
you
know
in
the
20s
30s
it
had
passed
into
institutional
use
and,
more
recently,
my
client
bought
it
and
has
been
restored.
The
exterior
back
to
its
original
1866
condition,
which
took
a
lot
of
time,
a
lot
of
effort
and
now
and
they're
continuing
to
work
on
the
interior
of
the
building
and
so
we're.

in

report
mass
good
morning,
we've
actually
already
started
using
the
zoning
relief
digging
holes
doing
excavation
encountered
some
problems.
There's
a
vault
that
and
butter
has
that's
encroaching,
so
we're
just
worried
that
construction
may
start
and
stop.
So
that's
why
we
came
in
for
the
extension
just
in
case.

entered

This
is
a
five-member
board
and
whenever
we
do
have
a
five-member
board,
you
need
all
board
members
in
support
of
your
project.
If
anybody
is
not
in
support,
the
project
is
then
denied.
So
you
are
welcome
to
request
a
deferral
if
you
so
desire
go
ahead.

of
the

28,
State,
Street
Boston
with
me
to
my
immediate

is
John
radzinsky
from
Reese
LOC
and
development.
The
appellant
on
the
project
to
my
far
left
is
Sylvia
and
me
hitch
from
Studio
G,
architects
and
Jamaica
Plain.
We
passed
out
some
presentation
materials
to
the
board
today
for
your
review,
including
project
plans,
a
memo
of
zoning
compliance
and
project
overview.
The
VP
da
article
ad
small
project
review
approval
board
memo.
O
This
was
approved
by
the
board
in
September,
as
well
as
the
record
of
public
support.
During
that
public
comment
period.
This
is
frankly
a
really
cool,
interesting
project.
It
is
a
project
site
of
a
little
over
16,000
square
feet
of
vacant
land.
It's
seven
parcels
that
has
been
will
be
combined
into
one
parcel:
it's
a
DND
city-owned
land
on
Highland
Street
in
Roxbury,
unique,
topographical,
great
change
of
about
fourteen
feet
from
the
front
of
the
site
to
the
rear.
The
site,
there's
also
about
ten
feet
from
the
set
from
one
side
of
the
other.
O
So
it
is
kind
of
a
unique
uniquely
located
in
positioned
property
site
and
the
development
takes
that
into
account
and
also
necessitates
some
of
the
zoning
relief
before
the
board.
Today,
the
property
is
located
between
Highland
Park
and
Jackson
Square,
it's
a
short
walk
to
the
Jackson
Square
Orange
Line
station.
As
far
as
the
specific
project
is
concerned,
what
is
proposed
is
a
new
four-story
residential
building
23
mixed
income
rental
units
which
actually
will
be
set
up
as
a
limited
equity
cooperative.
O
B
O
Eight
units
is
market
rate,
so
we're
proposing
I
mean
typically
rental
units
are
at
70%
ami
is
the
board
knows
we're
proposing
ten
of
the
units
to
be
below
that
and
another
five
to
be
at
100%,
ami
and
I
also
would
be
remiss
to
not
mention
that
this
will
be
part
of
the
city's,
a
plus
green
building
program.
The
building
will
be
a
high-performance
energy,
positive
building
that
will
actually
produce
more
energy
than
it
consumes
and
will
give
back
to
the
to
the
grid.
B
O
O
So,
as
mr.
secretary
mentioned,
there
are
violations
for
the
project.
We
would
suggest
that
they
are
required
to
provide
such
a
robust,
robust
affordability
component,
as
well
as
the
unique
topographical,
great
changes.
Two
of
them
are
related
to
the
use,
so
the
multi-family
residential
use
in
the
excessive
it's
a
three
F
four
thousand
times
X
in
dividual
parcels
on
their
own
are
not
given
to
having
three
family
buildings
on
them
because
of
the
topography,
but
also
because
of
the
size
of
them.
O
So
we
need
a
variance
for
the
multi-family
use,
also
the
accessory
parking
to
that
multi-family
use.
We
were
cited
for
as
well
minimum
lot
area
per
dwelling
is
2,000
square
feet
and
we
are
at
711
square
feet
per
unit
maximum
floor
area
ratio
is
0.8
and
we
are
at
1.75.
This
is
all
in
our
tab.
2,
it's
in
the
middle
of
tab,
2
that
we
itemize
all
these
for
the
board's
edification.
O
If
they'd
like
to
follow
along
as
far
as
maximum
building
height,
it's
35
feet
and
3
storeys,
we
are
proposing
49
feet
in
four
storeys
again,
because
the
topographical,
great
change
from
the
front
to
the
rear,
a
little
that
is
it's
a
little
more
hidden
than
you
would
be
a
49
foot,
building
on
a
flat
a
flat
lot.
As
the
bet
you
know,
the
hill
keeps
going
out
behind
the
property.
O
We
need
relief
for
both
the
height
in
foot
and
feet,
as
well
as
the
height
in
stories.
Minimum
front
yard
is
20
feet.
We're
at
15
feet,
substantial
conformance
with
the
front
yard
requirement.
The
minimum
rear
yard
requirement
is
30
feet
and
we're
a
little
a
little
under
19
feet.
So
that's
30,
feets,
what's
required
and
19
feet
is
a
little
under
19.
Feet
is:
what's
proposed,
minimal
usable,
open
space,
650
square
feet
per
dwelling
unit,
we
are
proposing
285
square
feet
per
dwelling
unit.
O
C
O
O
P
O
Position
yeah
its
position:
there's
no
live
work
units
proposed,
but
it
is
positioned
in
a
way
to
be
facing
Highland
Street
in
a
very
visible
corner,
as
you
can
see
from
the
renderings,
so
it's
meant
to
be
more
of
a
community
benefit
activate
the
street
than
it
is
a
benefit
for
the
residents
of
the
building.
Now,
of
course,
if
there
are
artists
in
the
building,
I'm
sure
they'll
be
able
to
there,
there
are
exhibited,
but
it's
not
meant
to
be
just
for
those.
O
We
were
not
cited
for
that
by
ISD
in
discussions
with
them.
We,
it
was
looked
at
as
not
a
sizable
use,
I
believe,
maybe
because
it
was
accessory
to
the
building
again,
it
I
think
it's
it's.
It's
meant
to
be
not
only
for
the
building,
but
also
for
so
I
think
there
was
a
little
bit
of
a
gray
area
there,
but
we
were
not
cited
for
it.
I
I
P
O
I
B
R
P
Do
because
to
the
events
will
be
around
the
what's
showing,
but
rather
have
people
streaming
in
at
all
times
of
the
day
I'm.
We
anticipate
that
the
gallery
will
be
used
more
in
an
event
basis
than
its
not
gonna,
be
open
12
hours
a
day.
Frankly,
it's
gonna
be
for
events.
That's
really
what.
P
O
T
Morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Jessica
Thomas
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
During
the
community
process,
there
was
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
regarding
the
project.
The
community
process
was
performed
by
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development,
and
the
petitioners
are
also
received
support
from
the
Highland
Park
Neighborhood
Association.
We
like
to
have
on
record
to
support
the
project.
U
W
Morning,
John
feuerbach
senior
development
officer
department,
neighbor
development,
a
DMD
supports
it
as
it
was
outlined
in
the
presentation.
The
development
includes
seven
city
of
Boston
parcels,
DND
working
very
closely
with
the
BPD,
a
and
neighborhood
residents
put
out
a
request
for
proposal.
They
were
responding
so
we're
also
including
city
funds,
but
it's
fully
supported
by
a
DND
as
well
as
the
neighborhood.
X
That
is
above
that
site.
There's
an
additional
development
parcel,
not
part
of
this
team,
that
is
in
the
E
Plus
green
building
program
that
will
provide
the
connecting
pathway
as
well
as
sites
across
the
street.
That
will
continue
this
urban
connection
up
to
the
top
of
Highland
Park.
There's
a
wonderful
urban
connection
component
to
the
program.
Thank
you
very
much.

The
first
floor
will
be
converted
from
a
two-bedroom
apartment
to
a
three-bedroom
apartment
of
approximately
1768
square
feet.
The
second
apartment
currently
occupies
the
second
and
third
floors.
It's
a
seven-bedroom
2,800
square
foot
unit.
The
new
configuration
creates
two
duplex
units,
each
with
three
bedrooms
and

feet.
B

Good
morning,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Jessica
Thomas
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
and
we
like
to
on
record,
to
support
the
project
office
held
in
a
butters
meeting
on
September
7th,
and
the
group
also
met
with
the
garrison
Trotter
Neighborhood
Association
in
October.
The
group
sent
a
conditional
letter
of
support
pending
that
they
continue
to
work
with
them
to
make
sure
they
have
nice
landscaping
and
work
directly
with
the
neighborhood.
The
community.
AA
Thompson
I'm
gonna
butter
of
seven,
while
back
Street
I'm,
also
on
the
how
the
committee
put
it
for
the
gas
entrada
neighborhood,
which
covers
with
14,
while
at
street
and
87
maple
it
we
like
to
offer
conditional
support,
and
that
is
how
the
historic
is
the
former
home
of
Alma
Lewis,
who
are
they
a
Presidential
Medal
of
Arts
winner?
It
was
a
beautiful
home
and
so
far
all
of
all
exterior
details
have
been
stripped.
It's
been
covered
in
like
plain
grey
siding
and
we
would
like
to
house
be
renovated
to
a
high
quality.
AA
All
that
tree
the
landscape
had
been
removed.
We
want
it
to
be
essentially
done
at
a
high
level
of
quality
and
be
gonna,
make
it
from
a
two
family
into
a
three
family.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
pocket
made
accommodating
so
there'd
be
two
all
street
parking
and
one
next
one
next
to
the
house,
but
really,
and
we
really
care
about
the
quality
of
the
people.
AA
You
collect
and
live
there
and
the
probably
the
home,
because
this
is
a
the
entire
block-
is
owner-occupied
single
and
multi-family
family
homes
and
the
current
state
of
the
house
looks
like
it's
just
run
down
low
quality
and
we
don't
want
the
design
did
formatting
process.
We
want
something
that
fits
into
the
architectural
style
of
the
neighborhood
as
the
add
or
be
company,
but
not
something
is
just
there
for
profit.
Essentially,
is.
I
Z
Agree
completely
with
what
was
just
said,
and
we
understand
where
he's
coming
from
and
how
the
neighbors
feel
about
this.
This
is
a
magnificent
house
on
a
beautiful
Street.
The
house
was
vacant,
it's
been
all
for
two
years
and
some
stopgap
measures
have
been
employed.
The
house
was
covered
with
asbestos
siding
which
was
removed
illegally.
All
the
wet
on
the
inside
and
additional
asbestos
was
also
remote
legally.

B

Is
a
similar
project
to
the
one
just
mentioned
the

being
a
little
bit
larger.
This
is
a
two-family
home
with
two

two

which
is
proposed
to
be
converted
to
a

All
work
will

There

proposal
partially
these

She
wouldn't
be
caught
back
spaces
out
of
the
parking.
The
additional
parking
would
be
created
by
the
removal
of
an
existing

and
the
plan
is
to
remove
that
concrete,

in

on

neighbors
in
passing,
were
in
support
of
the
project.
The
home
is
very
large,
and
so
adding
more
units
to
the
neighborhood
was
something
that
some
of
the
neighbors
were
very
supportive
of.
They
also
met
with
the
garrison
Trotter
Neighborhood
Association.
There
was
concerns
around
the
garage
space
and
if
the
plans
were
accurate,
however,
they
they'd

to
go

about

were
held
for

The

was
actually
an

proposal
that
we
want
to
do
to
show
good
faith
to
the
community
so
that
you
get
a

There

no.
There
was
no

at

It
does
fit
into

aesthetic
of

There
are
several

our

Just
passed
out
to
you
with

this
is
a
sort
of
surgical
renovation
and
small
addition
that
will
allow
this
family
that
has
long-standing
roots
in
the
neighborhood
to
remain
as
their
family
grows.
Essentially,
we're
proposing
a
modest
addition
on
the
back
side
of
the
house
that
creates
what
was
a
exterior
porch
into
a
mudroom
and
then
above
that
creates
an

Let's
go

record
support
this
proposal,
we're
conducting
the
butters
meeting
back
on
July
16th.
No
concerns
were
raised
from
the
neighborhood
believe
this
is
a
modest
proposal
that
would
not
be
a
detriment
to
the
community.
I
believe
the
Civic
has
some
concerns
we'll.
Let
them
speak
to
that,
but
we'd
like
to
go
on
record
support.

Madam

Toni

representing
the
Austin
Civic

the
proponent,
has
never
appeared
before
the
ACA
and
we
would
humbly
request
a
deferral
so
that
he
can
go
through
the
community
review
process.
It
seems
like
there
are
some
questions
about
the
plans
and
we're
very
afraid
that
there
could
be
neighbors
that
make
it
very
upset
at
us
for
not
having
this
proponent
go
through
the
community
review
process.
If
that
is
not
possible
for
our
bylaws,
we
have
to
oppose
this

here
that,
with

we
have
excess

what's
required
for

requirement

The

there

F
O
Basically,
the
proposal
there's
an
existing
six
unit,
buildings
at
9
and
11
Stevens
Avenue
in
five
and
seven
seven,
five
and
seven
Brown
Terrace,
and
the
proposal
these
barrel
connected
buildings,
for
some
reason
is
D.
Has
them
addressed
individually,
so
the
first
matter
was
a
matter
of
housekeeping
just
to
combine
them
into
one
building
to
be
9-11,
Stevens
Avenue
and
then,
in
addition
to
add
9
Studio
rental
units
to
the
existing
unfinished
basement
of
this
combined
building
the
building
was
built
in
the
1920s.
O
B
O
There
any
indication
that
there
were
dwelling
units
not
that
I
know
of
that.
That's
what
we
were
told
from
the
from
the
cellar
of
the
property,
not
that
I
could
find
just
physical
characteristics
of
walls
between
the
units
and
things
like
that
right
now.
It's
primarily
vacant
space,
underutilized
space
with
some
amount
of
storage
and
some
bicycle
storage.
But
for
the
most
part
it's
just
unused.
B
O
Ma'am,
so
the
proposal
is
for
nine
studio
units
they're
between
450
and
513
square
feet,
you'll
see
from
the
first
tab.
We
do
provide
kind
of
a
summary
of
the
units
themselves.
The
ceilings
which
I
know
is
always
an
issue
with
basement
units
are
between
eight
feet
and
eight
feet,
four
inches
and
in
fact
the
units
themselves
are
actually
not
completely
underground.
The
tops
of
the
walls
are
actually
three
feet
or
so
above
grade
there
are
windows
into
these
units.
There
will
be
more
than
one
or
two
windows
per
unit.
B
O
So
there
would
be
nine
units
and
we
worked
with
the
the
neighborhood
group
as
well
as
with
the
BPD
a
we
are
providing
one
voluntary,
affordable
unit
at
80
percent
ami
as
part
of
this
proposal
in
your
packet.
The
second
tab
we've
gone
to
the
board
in
October
this
month
a
few
weeks
ago
to
get
approval
for
that,
because
it's
an
existing
unit.
Technically,
we
don't
need
to
comply
with
the
IDP
because
of
the
existing
building.
B
O
So
there
is
no
there's
no
existing
parking
at
the
site
now
and
there's
no
room
to
add
existing
parking.
That's
an
existing
nonconformity.
We
were
cited
for
off
street
parking
and
sufficient.
We
are
less
than
a
half
mile
to
the
Green
Street
MBTA
Orange
Line
station
this.
This
cburns
Avenue,
where
this
is
located,
is
right
around
the
corner
from
Center
Street.
So
all
the
businesses
take
out
restaurants,
markets.
O
Everything
on
Center
Street
is
right
around
the
corner
as
well,
and
we
are
providing
additional
bike
parking
for
up
to
ten
spaces
to
help
further
mitigate
the
lack
of
on
on-site
parking.
So,
basically
there's
no
room
for
it.
There
has
been
parking
here
for
the
existing
24
units
and
there's
no
ability
for
us
to
add
parking
either
as
part.
B
O
Exterior
of
the
building-
yes,
so
we
are
actually
will
be
improving
the
accessibility
to
the
building
because
the
units
were
built
in
the
20s.
There
are
no
accessible
units.
It's
a
traditional
building
where
you
step
up
several
steps
to
get
to
the
stoop
to
get
into
the
building,
so
none
of
the
units
are
now
accessible.
We
will
be
adding
a
vertical
lift
access
to
these
units
in
the
basement.
O
So
two
of
the
units
will
actually
now
be
group
2a
accessible
units
which,
as
of
now,
there
are
none
in
the
building,
so
we'll
be
adding
two
of
those.
One
of
those
would
actually
be
the
affordable
unit
that
we're
providing
the
other
units
would
be
group
one
accessible.
So,
in
order
to
add
accessibility
to
those
units,
we
are
asking
for
minor
modifications,
the
rear,
exterior
to
add
access
via
that
lift
and
those
are
in
the
plans
that
we
have
provided
to
you
both
to
the
board
for
approval
and
also
on
tab
one.
O
I
O
I
I
I
O
I
would
defer
that
to
Derek
as
the
architect,
but
we
did
provide
in
our
memo
of
the
last
page
of
the
first
tab
that
my
understanding
is
the
that's.
What
I
was
basing
my
square
footage
is
on
and
those
all
show
clearly
that
there
are
450
square
feet
or
more,
but
I
can
I'll.
Let
Derek
talk
about
that.
A
little
more
yes,.
BG
Just
to
respond
your
your
your
comment,
the
their
various
plans
have
different
ways
of
calculating
the
square
footages,
whether
it's
by
the
building
code
or
by
the
zoning
code
or
by
looking
at
means
of
egress,
but
the
one
that
we
want
to
look
at
for
the
purposes
of
rezoning
here.
This
conversation
would
be
if
you're,
looking
at
the
nine
Seaver

set
G

So
to
that
point,
madam
chair,
the
existing
building
has
24
units
there's
only
one
studio
in
the
entire
building.
That's
existing
right
now
there
are
eighteen
one
beds
and
there
are
five
one
bed
pluses.
So
it's
not
a
studio.
Building
I
think
that
was
a
little
bit
of
the
my
understanding
is.
That
was
a
little
bit
of
the
thought
process
was
there
are
no
studios
in
this
building.
Where
can
we
if
we
fit
some
studios
and
capture
underutilized
space?
Could
we
put
him
in
here?

Sorry,
Paul
I
in
Tosca,
709,
Center,
Street,
Jamaica,
Plain
I've,
been
a
member
of
the
Jamaica
Plain
Business
Association
for
38
years
and
I'm,
president
of
the
Washington
Street
businessman,
Association
I've,
spoken
to
all
of
the
abutters
I'm,
the
largest
director
butter
I,
have
the
exact
same
building.
There
were
sister
buildings,
my
building
had
studios
built
and
approved
in
the
1960s,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
the
demand
for
these
units
is
insatiable.
We
have
veterans,
we
have
elderly,
we
have
handicapped
and
would
they
like
as
the
affordability
of
them.
BH
They
like
that
they're
not
too
large,
and
they
also
like
that.
There
are
only
50
feet
from
Center
Street,
which
is
where
all
the
businesses
and
the
restaurants
and
thrift
shops
are.
You
also
have
the
39
bus
line
there.
The
orange
line
is
two
blocks
down
the
street.
We
do
have
a
20
car
parking
lot
with
our
building
a
total
of
36
units
and
hours
with
the
studios,
and
we
actually
have
five
empty
spaces.
People
who
love
this
particular
area
of
town
like
the
fact
they
don't
need
a
car.
BH
They
have
bicycles
and
they
walk
and
they
take
mass
transit.
You
I
believe
you
have
two
letters
from
the
other
two
direct
abutters
stamatis
family
and
the
McDonald
family,
in
full
support
of
the
project
and
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
at
full
support
of
the
project,
as
there
is
a
very
big
need
for
units
like
this.

The
location
and
this
particular
property
has
been
before
this
board
many
times.
So.
Can
you
tell
us
how
this
is
going
to
function
so
you're
gonna
have
that
office?
Still
there
will
any
of
those
cub
Park
cuts
be
closed
off
and
where
will
the
monuments
be,
and
where
will
the
parking
for
visitors
to
the
site
be?
Madam.
BI
Chair,
if
I
could,
my
name
is
attorney.
Jennifer,
Pinkham
and
I
represent
Quincy
memorials
and
I'd
like
to
speak
as
to
those
points
and
some
other
points.
If
I
may,
as
mr.
Burke
mentioned,
we
are
involved
in
potentially
purchasing
the
property
located
at
709
VFW
Parkway
we've
entered
into
a
purchase
and
sale
agreement
and
we're
offering
fair
market
value
for
this
property.
BI
Certainly,
absolutely
with
respect
to
your
questions
relative
to
curb
cut.
There
will
be
no
changes
with
respect
to
the
question
relative
to
parking
spaces.
Geoff
courrier
has
a
nice
demographic
of
where
the
spaces
will
be,
which
is
in
front
of
the
board,
and
he
can
point
and
draw
your
attention
to
those
spaces.
There's
also
in
your
packet
at
Tab
2.
BI
A
depiction
of
where
those
spaces
will
be-
and
you
see
that
there's
six
parking
spaces
on
that
particular
lot
layout
and,
as
we
may
have
mentioned
before,
but
we'll
certainly
mention
again.
This
is
not
a
very
active
retail
location.
Monument
businesses
may
get
one
to
three
individuals
per
day.
Maybe
in
the
winter
months
it
becomes
very
slow.
As
you
might
know,
winter
is
a
very
slow
season
for
monuments.
It's
really
in
the
spring
summer
at
time
that
it
picks
up.
So
it's
an
average
of
one
to
three
businesses.
B
BI
That
whole
location
at
7:05
Corner
the
whole
corner
lot,
that's
right,
and
so
there
isn't
really
a
concern
about
access
parking
or
individuals
coming
in.
They
also
do
make
appointments
on
an
as-needed
basis,
but
this
is
a
business
that
runs
during
normal
business
hours.
A
nine-to-five
type
of
business
and
I
just
do
want
to
point
out,
madam
chair
and
the
rest
of
the
board
members
that
this
particular
business
was
previously
zoned
as
a
retail
operation,
and
we
do
have
the
zoning
history
it
was
it
was.
BI
It
was
a
some
sort
of
a
tailor
shop
at
one
point,
your
tailoring
and
dry-cleaning
prior
to
the
current
use
as
an
office
space
with
this
new
person,
the
this
new
business
coming
in
Quincy
memorials.
They
have
three
other
locations,
we've
shown
in
our
documents
that
we've
provided
the
pictures
of
the
three
of
their
locations,
and
you
mentioned
you
had
a
question
about
where
the
monuments
would
physically
be.
BI
You
can
see
on
that
plot
plan
where
they're
depicted
and
Quincy
memorials
is
also
willing
to
work
with
the
neighborhood
and
the
board
as
far
as
where
they,
where
they
want
them.
If
they
want
to
limit
the
amount
of
them,
they're,
obviously
with
some
concern
as
to
having
too
many
monuments
or
having
them
look,
dilapidated
I
do
want
to
make
mention
that
as
a
they
have
three
other
locations,
I've
included
photos
of
those
locations.
The
monuments
are
washed
yearly,
they
take
pride
in
their
locations.
Let's.
B
BI
BI
B
B
BI
By
appointment,
there
may
be
two
people
if
somebody
needs
to
come
in
for
an
appointment,
but
it's
very
low
use
and
I
would
suggest
to
the
board
that
this
property
is
now
really
rundown
dilapidated.
This
would
be
a
huge
economic
development
area
if
Quincy
memorials
can
take
it
over
and
have
this
property
rezone.
I
I
BI
Not
aware
of
any
we're
not
aware
of
any
specific
regulations
that
regulate
how
many
monuments
there
can
be,
but
we're
certainly
happy
to
abide
by
any
restrictions
that
this
board
puts
on
Quincy
memorials
they're
happy
to
adhere
to
a
certain
limited
number
of
monuments.
The
reason
why
monument
exposure
is
so
important
is
because
consumers,
when
they
come,
they
want
to
see
how
they
withstand
the
elements
they
want
to
see
how
they
look
in
the
outside,
because
that's.
B
BE
BJ
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Jack
Duggan
mayor's
office
on
Neighborhood
Services,
just
like
to
go
on
record
of
opposition
throughout
the
community
process.
We've
heard
a
majority
opposition
from
directive
butters
and
other
people
in
the
neighborhood.
One
of
the
main
concerns
is
that
just
the
monuments
being
displayed
outside
the
number
of
monuments
and
also
that
there's
two
monument
companies
located
down
the
street
from
this
location.
The
applicant
then
went
before
the
West
Roxbury
Neighborhood
Council
on
September
17th
and
was
unanimously
opposed.
BJ
AF
V
B
AM
BI
I
would
like
to
respond
as
to
the
other
monument
companies
and
the
monuments
outside,
obviously
we're
willing
to
make
any
concessions
that
the
neighborhood
wants,
as
far
as
the
monuments
outside
and
limit
the
number
we're
also
willing
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
concerted
effort
to
keep
those
monuments
clean
on
an
annual
basis.
With
regard
to
the
other
monument
companies,
I
would
like
you
to
draw
your
attention
to
the
package
of
materials
that
I've
given
to
you.
BI
Quincy
memorials
attempted
to
purchase
one
of
the
monument
companies
carrying
monuments
and
you'll,
see
in
the
package
at
tab
five,
a
letter
from
the
attorney
that
represents
Carrick,
stating
that
they
they're
willing
to
part
they're
willing
to
sell
it.
As
is,
and
at
that
point
there
were
too
too
many
risks
and
this
market
right
here.
There's
five
cemeteries
in
this
area.
BI
It's
a
very
busy
area,
four
of
the
monument
business
with
regard
to
the
other
monument
business
that
they're
claiming
exists,
I
would
draw
your
attention
to
item
number
12
in
your
package
and
11,
which
is
a
photograph
kenneth
monument
company,
which
is
a
dilapidated
building
and
also
a
screenshot
of
business
I'm.
Just
speaking
in
response,
I.
B
Have
to
stop
you
right
there.
My
father
is
buried
at
one
of
those
cemeteries
and
I
think
we're
all
familiar
with
those
with
the
monuments
there.
So
it
sounds
like
as
far
as
the
concerns
that
were
raised
about
the
display
of
the
monuments
and
other
issues
seem
to
be
compelling.
So
may
I
have
a
motion.
Please.
AJ

Far
as
yeah
the
violations
and
the
zoning,
there
is
a
neighbor
who
lives
directly
across
the
street.
Dr.
Theodore
show
father.
He
wanted
to
come
today
as
the
David
cabral
and
several
other
neighbors,
but
they
can't
get
out
work
at
this
time,
but
he
stated
very
eloquently.
I
thought.
The
all
reasons
for
us
about
is
the
neighbors
he
said.
I
want
the
about
is
living
directly
across
from
seven
or
nine
VFW
Parkway
in
West,
Roxbury
I
blew
up
and
currently
reside
at
347
Cory
Street
West
Roxbury
after
having
spent
some
time
away
in
various
places.
AJ
AJ
The
back
up
of
traffic
is
often
well
up
the
hill
up
to
pori
Street
up
to
the
cemeteries
interfering
with
our
ability
to
even
exit
our
driveway
during
rush
hours.
A
change
to
retail
space
of
the
property
at
709,
VFW
Parkway
will
add
to
that
congestion.
Traffic
flow
in
that
corner
used
to
result
in
many
accidents
when
there
was
a
retail
space
there.
AJ
As
far
back
as
the
1980s
accidents
at
the
intersection
of
the
VFW,
Parkway
and
Cory
Street
are
now
few
and
far
between
a
retail
space
at
709,
VFW
Parkway
would
increase
the
likelihood
of
future
accidents
and
parking.
It
will
become
more
limited,
as
there
is
also
a
busy
dentist
office
directly
across
the
street,
with
multiple
cars
and
directly
across
on
the
corner.
There's
a
gas
station
that
takes
up
a
ton
of
pocket.
AJ
There
are
two
morning
companies
at
the
corner
of
the
grain
Street
and
VFW
Parkway,
an
intersection
that
still
has
numerous
accidents
in
the
zoning
from
709
VFW
Parkway.
If
the
zoning
for
709
VFW
popular
were
changed
to
retail,
there
would
be
three
monument
companies
within
the
zone
of
consecutive
traffic
lights.
Furthermore,
that
space
would
permanently
be
zoned,
as
retail,
with
unknown
consequences
in
the
future.
I
oppose
the
changing
of
the
zoning.

keep

precious

I,
don't

at

Oh

can
let

Mr.

require

subsequently
the

file

Small

it's
a
different
process

again
this
is
coming
from

I
would
prefer
to
let
the
PDA
speak
to
their
own
process
with
respect
to
their
own
jurisdiction.
From
is
DS
perspective,
though,
however,
because
this
was
an
N
DoD
overlay
that
they
were
looking
at
the
design
component
only
and
not
as
a
small
project
review
from

DS
perspective.
So
long
as
it
is
stamped
by
the
PDA
that
the
PDA
has
the
authority
to
issue
that
approval
for
design
review,
and
that
is
sufficient
for

to
issue
a
permit.

Q
AT
B
AT
AT
So
in
terms
of
an
application
being
filed
there,
just
isn't
one.
There
is
a
requirement
under
article
80
that
notice
be
sent
to
the
civic
groups,
the
local
neighborhood
groups,
so
that
they
are
allowed
to
comment
whether
or
not
that
was
done.
I
don't
know,
but
that
is
something
that
is
also
discussed

will
play
out
