From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearings 7-26-22 part 2
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.
A
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
the
city
of
boston's
zoning
board
of
appeal
hearing
for
july
26th
is
back
in
session,
as
mentioned
before.
This
hearing
is
being
conducted
in
accordance
with
the
applicable
provisions
of
the
open
meeting
law,
including
the
updated
provisions
enacted
by
the
legislature.
A
The
new
law
allows
the
board
to
continue
its
practice,
upholding
virtual
hearings
until
march
2023
in
the
interest
of
time.
I
ask
that
every
person
here
who
is
talking
through
their
discussions
to
tell
us
why
they
would
defer
the
last
time
and
as
usual,
if
you
are
here
representing
an
applicant,
we
expect
that
your
goal
is
to
talk
through
the
violations.
A
B
C
Good
afternoon
the
secretary
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
joe
hanley
mcdermott
coulthy
miller,
28
state
street
in
boston.
We
were
deferred
from
the
last
hearing
due
to
a
quorum,
the
lack
of
a
quorum
and
now,
obviously,
we
are
looking
forward
to
proceeding.
Okay.
A
Please,
mr
hanley,
you
just
reminded
me
of
something:
yes
ma'am.
We
are
a
six
member
board
today
and
for
approval.
You
need
five
members
in
support.
Thus,
applicants
can
request
an
administrative
deferral
should
they
so
desire.
C
Right,
thank
you.
We'd
like
to
proceed
in
madame
chair,
okay,
excellent,
just
I'm
going
to
take
you
quickly
through
the
presentation.
Introduce
you
first
to
the
development
team
with
me
is
mike
delafaye
from
roadie
architects,
as
the
project
architect
for
this
proposal.
Also
with
me,
are
the
owner
developer,
larry
grossman
and
jason
weissman.
C
If
you
go
back
to
the
previous
page,
the
site
202
west
first
street
is
at
the
corner
of
sea
and
first
street
on
the
north
side,
which
is
the
industrial
side.
It
is
in
the
local
industrial
zoning
sub-district,
which
was
amended
just
only
seven
years
ago,
and
it
allows
the
proposed
laboratory
research,
life
science
uses
that
are
being
proposed,
and
it
is
a
corner
lot.
Next
slide,
we'll
show
you
the
photos,
this
is
the
former
am
ramp
manufacturing
site
you'll,
see
the
blue
building.
C
That
is
the
property
that
is
being
replaced,
and
you
will
also
notice
that
the
sidewalks
are
quite
tight
and
there's
a
lot
of
vestige
of
sort
of
old
industrial
in
that
particular
corner
across
the
street
from
us
is
the
residential
section
along
this
section.
There
are
no
residences
on
the
north
side
and
the
bc
ec
is
in
the
foreground
to
the
north
next
slide,
please.
C
So
what
we
have
done
and
what
we're
proposing
is
to
construct
a
four-story
commercial
office
building
with
office
uses
and
also
laboratory
research
and
development
in
a
boutique
setting.
It
is
just
a
little
over
42
000
square
feet.
What
you're
seeing
here
is
is
very
important
with
respect
to
the
relief
that
is
needed.
C
We
have
set
the
building
back
at
the
corner,
which
you'll
see
and
we
are
introducing
new
widened
sidewalks
tree
canopies
with
widened
adequate
wide
grates
that
will
allow
for
their
proper
growth
and
to
move
the
loading
and
the
parking
furthest
away
from
the
neighborhood
to
the
north
off
c
street.
Next
slide.
Please
and
you'll
see
those
24
parking
spaces
that
are
in
there.
C
One
of
the
things
we
spoke
with
the
neighbors
and
worked
hard
with
the
bpda
on
was
enclosing
and
screening
the
mechanicals,
so
all
of
our
rooftop
mechanicals,
this
is
only
a
four-story
building,
was
proposed
to
be
a
five.
We
are
utilizing
the
fourth
level
to
enclose
it's
almost
like
a
fit
level
enclosure
to
enclose
the
mechanicals
and
screen
them
so
that
they're
not
visible
next
slide.
Please,
and
that
just
shows
you
a
little
more
some
of
the
equipment.
In
more
context.
C
I'll
note
here
for
the
height
variance,
the
building
is
60
feet
base
zoning
in
height,
the
mechanicals
are
no
higher
than
14,
and
that
is
consistent
with
the
input
and
the
work
that
this
board
has
provided
on
other
projects
in
the
area,
including
the
imran
amaran
site,
which
was
limited
to
that
as
well.
Next
slide,
please
just
to.
C
In
further
context,
again,
you
see
we
are
using
a
masonry,
brick
for
the
first
three
levels
and
the
fourth
level
on
the
top.
You
will
see
the
screened
mechanical
looks
as
if
it's
a
fifth
level
and
operates
to
mitigate
any
of
the
visibility
and
sound
deferring
of
that
next
slide.
Please.
C
Yeah,
so
if
you
go
down
to
the
it
should
be
slide
12.
These
are
just
showing
you
some
of
the
renderings
madam
chair,
but
to
answer
your
question,
so
we
have
agreed
here.
You
are-
and
I
know
you'll
hear
from
the
elected
officials,
but
since
you
asked
about
the
use,
we're
very
fortunate
to
be,
I
think,
a
positive
precedent
for
a
new
r
d
building
in
south
boston
and
the
industrial
we've
agreed
to
nothing
more
than
biosafety
level,
two,
that
is
in
the
article
80
board
memo.
A
Also,
okay,
so
you
know
all
of
these
negotiations
with
the
community
well
and
good.
But
can
you
please
go
on
to
tell
us
about
the
operation,
so
we
can
get
a
better
understanding
of
it.
C
Yes,
so
you
know
four
main
levels
on
the
tell.
C
Yes,
just
to
take
you
back
to
the.
C
Slide
eight-
and
this
is
a
cross
section,
madam
chair,
our
madam
ambassador,
madam
chair.
So
if
you
see
on
the
first
level,
you
asked
about
the
operations
the
parking
24
parking
spaces,
we
still
do
need
relief
for
that
it
is
there's
upwards
to
maybe
60
or
70
spaces,
depending
on
how
you
do
the
calculation
for
office
versus
lab.
C
That
would
be
required
strictly
under
the
zoning
code.
We
are
providing
24
in
a
garage
space
that
also
has
loading
adequate
loading
and
is
accessible
off
c
street,
which
is
the
northern
back
of
the
site
furthest
from
the
neighbors.
As
you
go
into
the
first
level,
you
see
that
there's
tenant,
storage
and
then
a
space
which
is
lobby
and
call
it
tenant
space.
It's
really
multi-purpose,
it
could
be
used
for
meetings
or
it
could
be
used
for
community
purposes
and
then
you're
talking
about
really
just
three
levels
of
office.
C
This
square
footage
that
you
know
a
majority
of
the
space
is
commercial
office
and
then
the
other
portion
is
so
it's
not
all
research
space
correct,
but
you
have
this
in
the
three
levels
and
then,
as
you
go
up
to
the
fifth
level,
the
zoning
stops
at
that
60
feet,
but
you'll
see
the
mechanical
and
what
we've
done
in
working
with
the
bpda
and
the
neighbors
is
to
essentially
create
a
level
that
is
fully
enclosed,
so
that
they're
not
seeing
or
hearing
the
mechanicals
and
that's
how
the
building
would
operate.
Adam
chairman.
A
Okay,
got
it
so
to
understand
what
are
you
expecting
the
split
between
office
and
research
to
be,
or
is
it
an
open
question,
or
do
you
have
a
tenant
in
mind.
C
Yes,
we
do.
We
do
not
have
a
tenant
at
this
point
and
that's
why,
when
you
look
at
slide
12,
we
work
so
closely
with
the
neighbors
on
the
conditions
for
both
its
design,
but
also
its
future
operation
and
use
right.
So,
regardless
of
who
the
tenant
is
we're
not
doing
more
than
bio
safety
level,
two
we're
also
required
to
maintain
window
screening
on
all
the
upper
levels,
sound
attenuating
measures
and
to
participate.
You
know
in
continued
discussions.
C
E
The
the
design
that
we've
developed
so
far
assumes
a
60,
40
split,
meaning
60
could
be
lab
space
40
office
no
more
than
60,
but
more
than
likely
the
percentage
of
lab
would
be
less
than
60
percent.
C
We
did
the
use,
there
is
a
wide
use
that
is
prototype
manufacturing.
That
could
be
robotics
also
considered.
Research
as
well,
as
you
know,
laboratory
life
sciences,
so
that
we
have
that
flexibility.
The
truth,
the
matter
is
with
this
small
of
a
building.
That's
why
we're
able
to
agree.
You
know
to
such
a
low
research
level
is
there's
only
so
much
you
can
do
in
that
space
and
still
be
able
to
have
the
mechanical
space
to
operate.
C
Yeah,
I
mean
so
to
give
you
give
you
a
perspective.
Larry
said
60
40
of
our
gross
square
feet,
25
000
square
feet
that
would
break
down
to
for
research
uses,
so
it's
it's
very
highly
likely
from
the
tenant
condition
from
folks.
We
talked
to
that.
This
would
be.
You
know,
low-level
research
larry.
You
can
probably
speak
more
to
that.
What
the
market
is.
E
Well,
I
mean
that
we
don't
know,
we
don't
know
what
the
market
will
be,
exactly
we're
trying
to
provide
flexibility
and
the
design
and
the
mechanicals
that
we
showed
you
was
to
support.
Sixty
percent
lab
that
sixty
percent
is
really
just
for.
The
three
floors
doesn't
really
include
the
first
floor
so
that
that's,
if
you
do,
if
you
do
the
math
and
the
score
the
floor
place
around
the
12
000
gross
and
you're
talking
around
24
000
20
000
square
feet
of
laboratory
potential
laboratory
space
that
could
fit.
C
The
in
the
bio
safety
level,
two
limitations
wouldn't
allow,
for
you
know,
you're
talking
about
animal
research
and
things
like
that.
You
know
you're,
typically
at
a
higher
level
of
bsl3
and
that's
what
we're
gonna
do.
The
other
thing,
I
would
say,
venom
chairs.
I
know
that
this
board
has,
you
know,
seen
a
few
projects.
We've
worked
really
close
with
the
neighbors
and
the
elected
officials.
C
I
do
think
you
know
we're
on
the
north
side
of
first
street,
just
seven
years
ago
in
2015,
the
city
amended
article
68
to
continue
to
allow
the
industrial
on
the
side
and
there's
a
reason.
You
know
the
neighborhood
on
this
side.
It
is
all
industrial
and
we're
really
looking
to
make
this
kind
of
21st
century
if
you
will,
but
also
do
it
in
a
responsible
way
with
respect
to
the
scale
and
the
operation
and
and
that's
kind
of
the
balance
that
we've
tried
to
strike
here.
Okay,
so
that
use
is
allowed
under.
C
A
F
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
anna
white,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
202
west
first
street
was
a
bpda
project.
They
held
a
robust
community
process.
The
saint
vincent
lowrand
neighborhood
association
was
in
support
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
And
amanda
sent
your
request
on
you,
you
can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please.
G
H
Hi,
my
name
is
andreas
dilba,
I'm
the
chief
educational
officer
of
st
peter
academy,
at
371,
west
first
street
at
west
4th
street,
and
we
are
in
support
of
the
project.
I
My
manager,
members
of
the
board,
paul
sullivan
when
we
have
student
council,
live
michael
flaherty.
As
you
know,
article
68
went
through
an
extensive
community
process
council's
approach.
That
has
been
consistent.
That
said,
this
project
has
gone
through
an
extensive
process
to
help
form
the
project
scale
in
size,
so
that
it
is
consistent
with
nearby
redevelopment
efforts
along
with
broadway.
The
proponent
worked
closely
with
neighbors
civic
associations
and
other
elected
officials
in
a
number
of
key
areas,
including
the
roof.
I
The
movement
of
mechanicals
and
proper
noise
attenuation
measures
for
this
type
of
use,
limits
on
biosafety
levels
to
alleviate
neighbors
concerns,
as
well
as
efforts
to
address
numerous
public
realm
concerns
in
that
area
such
as
walkability
inaccessibility
of
the
site
as
it
stands
in
its
current
state.
Thank
you.
G
Vanessa
wu
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board
count
vanessa's
counselor
flynn's
office
here
council
president
flynn
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support
based
on
a
thorough
community
process
and
the
team
working
closely
on
good
compromises
with
neighbors
and
the
civic
group
quality
of
life
concerns.
G
These
compromises
include
the
site
will
not
exceed
level
1
or
level
2
use
the
height
placement
and
enclosure
of
the
mechanical
system,
24
vehicles,
light
pollution
and
improvement
republican
pedestrians
council
president
flynn's
support
stems
from
this
work
for
the
neighbors
and
he
respectfully
requests
that
the
team
continue
to
work
closely
with
a
community
and
civic
group
during
the
construction
phase
on
any
quality
of
life
issues
and
concerns.
Thank
you.

We
own
the
site
at
270,
west,
2nd
street
and
we're
just
a
few
blocks
east
of
the
subject.
Property
we've
owned
our
site
since
1953,
so
we
have
literally
generations
of
accumulated
knowledge
of
the
neighborhood,
and
the
amram
site
is
in
the
plans
that
they
have,
for
it
is
something
that
we
fully
support.
I
think
this
is
certainly
the
right
time
to
be
building
the
infrastructure
for
new
employment
opportunities
in
south
boston,
and
I
also
appreciate
it.
L
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
so
we
are
happy
to
offer
our
full
support
to
this
project
as
a
very
nearby
property
owner.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
having
no
additional.
N
A
Second,

there,
oh
goodness,
gracious
okay
fortune.

A

Please.
O
O
A
A
Okay,
it's
under
common
ownership,
but
it
will
be
combined.
So
that's
good.
The
second
thing
is,
I
noticed
your
violations
of
parking,
so
what
I
need
to
understand
is:
is
there
any
parking
already
provided
for
the
school
and
how
this
is
helping
meet
the
need.
O
So
there
are
on
the
main
part
of
the
campus
on
11
mayhew
street.
There
are
approximately
definitely
there's
17
parking
spaces
there
now
at
the
school
received
a
variance
which
the
17
spaces
is
less
than
what
would
be
required,
and
the
school
previously
received
the
variance
to
authorize
that,
so
these
additional
spaces
would
not
bring
it
into
full
conformity,
but
it
would
reduce
the
nonconformity.
A
Okay-
and
this
is
not
proposed
to
be
used
for
drop
off
pickup,
but
for
staff,
parking
or
parent
visitor
parking,
and
things
like
that
right.
O
B
Before
you
go
to
that,
madam
chair
secretary
here,
I
know
mr
domicle's
not
on,
but
mr
demiko
spoke
on
this
I'm
a
little
confused.
Maybe
the
opponent
can
clarify
regarding
this
is
from
bob
dominco
btd
regarding
21
mayhew.
He
said
the
plans
are
very
poor
and
he
needs
the
dimensions
of
the
spaces.
The
spaceship
spaces
were
hand-drawn,
although
maybe
he
didn't
get
to
see
this
or
there
was
something
he
saw
that
we
were
we're
not
seeing.
P
Yeah
the
the
phase
that
we're
at
now
in
preparing
a
construction
document,
so
the
the
design
is
almost
complete
on
it-
could
have
highly
detailed
documents
on
it.
This
was.
A
P
They
make
they
meet
the
the
turns
that
you
need
to
make,
but
we
are
asking
for
a
variance
on
the
size
of
the
parking.
The
parking
lot
proposing
is
18
feet
by
eight
feet
on
all
the
spaces
which
we
need,
the
variance,
because
50
of
them
need
to
be
larger
than
that
they
need
to
be
eight
and
a
half
feet
by
20
feet.
P
But
what
we
we're
trying
to
do
is
well
there's
two
aspects
to
it:
one
is
to
limit
the
curb
cut
that
goes
into
the
street.
We
don't
want
to
take
away
any
of
the
street
parking.
P
Is
there,
so
we
our
entrance
to
the
parking
lot,
is
24
feet,
so
we
don't
take
away
a
parking
spot
from
the
neighborhood
and
and
that
allows
the
turn
radius
to
come
in
so
that
you
can
at
the
other
aspect,
we're
trying
to
do
is
have
that
parking
lot,
be
two-way
traffic
so
that
you're
not
causing
any
congestion
on
mayhew
street,
as
if
it
was
one-way
traffic
and
you
extended
the
parking
spaces,
then
you
could
have
a
backup
issue
on
maybe
shooting
that
was
one
of
the
prime
concerns
raised
by
the
neighbors
that
were
trying
to
avoid
that.
A
Okay,
so
let's
talk
about
that
output
that
outdoor
educational
space.
P
Yes,
so
there's
three
areas
proposed,
so
the
the
lot
size,
the
21
mega
lot
size
is
just
about
one
third
of
an
acre,
and
what
we're
asking
here
is
to
split
it.
One
third
would
be
of
that
area
would
be
for
the
parking
lot
and
two-thirds
of
that
would
be
for
outdoor
space,
and
that's
in
that
outdoor
space,
that
two-thirds
of
the
of
the
project
size
would
be
split
into
three
areas.
One
is
a
plaza
for
a
congregation,
a
small
plaza
for
congregation.
P
An
outdoor
education
in
the
rear
of
the
property
is
an
outdoor
classroom
space
which
would
be
used
for
such
activities
as
art
classes
and
like
reading
and
writing
classes.
Small
group
classes
in
that
area
and
then
there's
an
open
screen
green
space,
which
is
on
leads
closer
to
mayhew
street,
which
is
not
viewed
as
a
program
area.
It's
viewed
as
somewhere
where
people
can
eat
lunch
in
small
groups
or
just
congregate
with
small
groups
and
allow
sort
of
the
student
population
to
spread
out.
A
Q
A
N
I
mean
I
just
have
a
a
comment
in
regards
to
a
variance
on
the
percentage
of
the
parking
spaces
that
they're
right
now
designed
as
compact.
N
Have
you
considered,
providing
like
ev
charging
stations
or
some
of
those
spaces
being
for
car
sharing.
P
We
are
doing
an
ev
charging
station
in
the
location
you
can
see
it.
P
I
guess
the
graphic
isn't
that
great,
but
it's
it's
right
where
the
handicap
space
is.
O
N
A
Okay,
anything
else,
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
Is
anybody
here
to
speak
either
in
support
or
in
opposition
of
this
proposal?.
R
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services,
the
sun
mayor's
office,
defer
judgment
to
the
board
back
on
information
on
the
community
process.
Our
office
hosts
in
the
butter's
meeting
on
april
20th
residents
expressed
general
concerns
regarding
noise
level
and
traffic
on
the
street,
which
boston
collegiate
promised
to
mitigate
the
mccormick
civic
association
has
written
a
letter
of
support
and
at
this
time,
our
office
to
first
the
board.
Thank
you.
G
F
M
Oh,
so
sorry
about
that

S
46
mayhew,
I'm
a
neighbor,
I'm
an
affirmative
they're,
really.
F
Wonderful
neighbors.
F
Thank
you
us.
A
Do
we
need
any
review,
given
bob
domika's
concerns
about
the
parking
it
could.
A
Okay,
so
with
btd
review,
is
there
a
second
second
fortune.
P
B
On
the
next
case,
calling
voa
126
1647
15
mian

this
is
increased,
living
space
and
add
extension
for
egress
and
porches
at
the
rear

Please.
T
Again,
this
is
a
proposal
to
renovate
an
existing
vacant
deliberated
two
family
by
maintaining
the
existing
footprint
of
the
building.
As
you
may
recall,
during
our
hearing
we
went
through
a
full
entire
hearing
and
we
were
recommended
for
deferral
through
two
board
members.
Mr
ehrlich
and
mr
robinson,
one
portion
of
it
was
to
continue
dialogue
with
the
neighbors
and
the
other
one
was
to
revisit
the
actual
basement
plan.
T
Since
then,
we
have
met
with
the
the
neighbors
and
have
not
reached
any
sort
of
common
ground.
One
of
the
biggest
factors
with
the
neighbors
was
regarding
a
certificate
of
liability
which
they
have
since
received
and
part
two
one
of
the
other
issues
that
we
actually
didn't
resolve
was
we
remove
the
entire
basement
living
space
and
there
will
be
no
underpinning
at
all
whatsoever
so
that
it's
it's
as
it
is.
A
So,
mrs
you
know,
you've
been
living
in
the
space
for
a
bit,
but
we've
had
a
couple
of
cases
since
we
last
heard
this,
so
is
the
intention
still
to
maintain
it
as
a
two
family,
correct.
T
T
Yeah,
so
so
the
first
floor
unit,
one
will
consist
of
just
the
first
floor,
will
be
approximately
829
square
feet,
which
will
be
a
two
bedroom
containing
a
living
room
kitchen
in
the
dining
room.
It
will
have
two
bathrooms
as
well
the
second
floor,
and
the
third
floor
will
be
consisting
of
unit
number.
Two
will
be
approximately
1641
square
feet.
That
also
will
be
well
we'll
have
a
kitchen,
dining
room
living
room
and
a
den
area
along
with
a
three
bedroom
there.
A
Okay
and
then
what's
the
zoning
district
and
what's
the
lot
size
of
the.
T
Again,
the
the
zoning
district
is
a
is
a
3f
4000
zoning
subdistrict
and
here
the
actual
lot
size,
which
is,
which
is
pre-existing,
is
1738
square
feet.
A
T
A
T
By
through
through,
in
addition,
so
as
a
right
now,
it's
a
pitch
roof,
we're
gonna,
be
squaring
off
the
roof
itself
and
it's
also
compliant
under
under
the
height.
So
we
were
not
cited
for
any
sort
of
height
variation.
T
So
the
total.
Well
I
mean
the
the
total
square
footage
well
bear
with
me,
so
the
total
square
foot
of
the
edition,
maybe
so
andrea
brews
with
me
andrea.
Could
you
be
specific
as
to
just
the
addition
on
the
third
floor
of
what
the
total
square
footage
was?
I
have
the
the
height
of
what's
being
proposed.
I
mean
the
square
footage
of
unit
2
totals
1641
square
feet.
I
do
know
that
maybe
andrea
could
give
me
the
specifics
as
to
the
square
footage
from
the
edition.
A
Okay
and
how
is
parking
being
accommodated,
we.
A
U
Yeah,
I
mean
just
the
comment:
the
the
concern
was
about
living
space
in
the
basement.
If
that
issue
has
been
removed
and
it's
a
different
proposal.
R
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
This
proposal
has
gone
through
an
extensive
community
process.
The
applicant
underwent
went
to
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
committee
zoning
subcommittee
and
received
their
support.
They
received
opposition
from
the
stony
brook
neighborhood
association
and
our
office
has
received
six
letters
of
opposition
on
file
from
director
butters
at
this
time
our
office
to
first
the
board.
Thank
you.
A
And
it's
that
with
even
without
occupancy
in
the
basement,
connor.
R
V
A
So
hold
on
it,
so
anybody
else
miss
ambassador,
any.
I
I
I'd
like
to
note
that
the
proponent
performance
made
genius
the
plans
to
address
the
buddha's
concern
by
removing
the
basement
unit
is
currently
seeking
relief
for
four
pre-existing
violations.
If
approved,
the
council
is
preparing
to
work
closely
to
address
any
quality
of
life
issues
that
exist
currently
during
each
and
every
phase
of
construction.
Thank
you.
G
All
right,
jonathan
abrams
go
ahead.
V
I
am
a
resident
of
13
mayhem
street
and
a
butter
of
15
mayhem
street.
I'm
here
to
oppose
as
many
many
obligations
and
responsibilities
have
been
met,
such
as
maintaining
the
property
and
unless
neighbors
consistently,
you
know,
reach
out
and
and
prompt
them
to
maintain
their
property
and
for
a
citation,
as
was
given
about
a
week
or
two
weeks
ago.
The
the
property
is
is
neglected
and
and
in
addition,
the
developers
haven't
been
working
with
the
neighborhood
association
and
and
with
with
us,
we
we
get.
V
A
M
Hi,
my
name
is
jennifer
irheen.
I
live
at
47
rossmoor
road,
which
is
just
a
a
block
away
from
this
project.
I
just
want
to
make
a
clarification
on
the
neighbors
and
also
the
neighborhood
association.
The
concern
was
not
just
with
the
basement
living
space.
There
were
other
concerns
as
well.
The
far
is
still
excessive.
It's
double
what
is
allowed,
even
with
the
reduction
of
the
living
space
in
the
basement.
M
It
is
only
a
1700
square
foot
lot
and
the
house,
the
existing
house,
is
on
the
property
line,
so
it
is
extremely
close
to
the
next
door,
13
million.
The
other
concerns
aside
from
the
the
far
was
that,
even
though
he
is
still
under
the
limit
for
height,
he
is
raising
the
height
by
3.7
feet,
plus
a
flat
making
a
flat
roof
plus
adding
a
roof
deck.
M
So
all
of
that
means
that
the
house
becomes
much
larger
in
volume
on
this
tiny
lot
and
also
cast
shadows
most
of
the
year
on
the
front
of
13
million
he's.
Also,
though
he
claims
there's
an
existing
front
yard
violation.
M
Neighbors
also
wanted
him
to
redesign
the
building
to
make
it
fit
in
better
with
the
historical
context
of
the
street
street,
not
done
that
at
all
and
he's
declined
to
present
anything
different
to
the
neighborhood
association
and
is
in
fact
really
only
communicating
with
the
peanut
butters
next
door.
So
there's
a
whole
lot
just
beyond
the
basement
living
space,
and
you
have
a
bunch
of
opposed
letters,
and
I
haven't
heard
anyone
support,
except
for
the
flaherty's
office
and
they
haven't
even
attended
any
of
the
meetings.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
W
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
overhead
3514
washington
street,
I'm
a
direct
butter
to
the
rear
of
this
property,
I'm
in
full
support
of
this
project.
I
think
it's
a
great
addition
to
the
neighborhood.
I
think
this
developer
went
above
and
beyond
any
requirements
to
meet
with
the
neighbors
through
multiple
and
rigorous
community
process.
As
has
been
mentioned,.
X
Hi,
thank
you.
Lee
goodman
65
green
street.
We
own
the
property
at
69
williams
diagonally
across
again.
I
want
to
support
this
project.
It's
an
eyesore.
Currently,
these
are
all
existing
non-conforming,
variances
they're,
not
even
adding
an
additional
unit,
and
I
just
feel
like
the
neighborhood
is
not
being
reasonable
or
rational.
They
act.
They
remove
the
basement
space
as
requested
to
ignore
this,
as
if
it's
nothing
it's
just
unfair.
So
I
urge
the
committee
to
support.
Thank
you.
Z
A
Sounds
like
there
really
needs
to
be
a
good
neighbor
policy
put
in

Hello,
my
name
is
tim
sheen,
I'm
the
architect
for
the
project,
I'm
at
9
wall
street
in
charlestown.
I'm
representing
my
client
developer,
michael
davis,
we're
here
today
because
they
put
us
on
the
committee
last
time,
but
obviously
it
wasn't
owner
occupied.
So
here
we
are
the
three
violations:
the
side
yard,
there's
a
left
yard
side
yard.
Now
that's
only
six
feet.
It's
supposed
to
be
ten.
The
dormer's
gonna
be
inside
of
that
the
dormer
will
be
at
eight
feet.
D
AA
The
front
yard
set
back
in
this
in
this
one
f-6000
zone
is
20
feet
and
we're
rebuilding
the
existing
porch.
So
that's
our
front
yard
setback
and
then
currently
the
building
is
two
and
a
half
stories
with
a
sloped
roof.
We
intend
to
put
a
master
bedroom
suite
up
on
that
third
floor
and
to
do
that
we
need
a
dormer,
so
it
turns
into
a
three-story
structure.
So
those
are
our
violations.
A
Okay
and
okay,
how
are
the
plans
miss
better?
I'm
sure
the
plans
are
adequate.
Any
questions
from

Mr

11
on
tuesday
and
wednesday,
four
to
twelve
on
thursday
and
on
friday
and
saturday
we're
open
until
one
am.
We
have
a
1
30
a.m.
Liquor
license.
A
Okay,
so
you're
gonna
have
live
vans,
is
the
space
is
it?
Is
it
secured
so
that
there's
no
sound
that
carries
out.
K
Yes,
like
I
said
the
previous
owner
had
the
same
setup.
A
A
Okay,
okay,
how
are
the
plans
was
better.
N
Madam
chair,
that
the
plans
are
are
okay,
I
don't
have
necessarily
an
occupancy
layout
of
the
plan.
You
know
to
review
the
the
requested
occupancy
load,
but
I'm
just
gonna
give
that
to
isd
yeah.
So
you
know,
I
would
say,
the
plans
are
incomplete.
K
So
I
I
see
that
you're
only
showing
the
plot
plan.
The
isd
asked
me
to
submit
a
new
plot
plan,
because
the
previous
owner
did
not
have
one.
So
I
did
upload
this
new
plot
plan
that
you're
showing,
but
I
also
have
the
architectural
plans
for
the
inside
of
the
restaurant
that
was
updated
as
well.
We
lowered
the
seating
capacity
on
the
second
floor
and
we
just
added
standing
room
to
the
box
of
the
first
floor.
A
Yeah,
I
just
have
a
note
from
the
staff
that
this
is
the
only
thing
that
they
have
so
if
in
the
future,
or
should
you
decide
to
expand,
we
will
need
things
kind
of
from
soup
to
nuts.
A
S
Afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
danielle
fonseca,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
Our
office
held
a
community
meeting
for
park
54
back
in
october,
and
several
of
others
and
community
members
that
were
in
attendance,
voiced
their
support
and
interest
for
this
restaurant.
In
addition,
they
received
various
letters
of
support
from
community
leaders,
civic
associations,
neighborhood
stakeholders,
since
the
opening
and
even
prior
to
the
opening.
The
applicants
have
connected
and
been
actively
involved
with
high
park
main
streets
high
park
board
of
trades.
S
As
tasha
mentioned,
there
was
a
grand
opening
for
park
54
about
a
month
ago,
back
in
june
and
several
elected
officials
community
members,
not
only
from
our
neighborhood
of
high
park
but
from
all
over
boston,
came
to
support,
highlighting
the
need
for
more
black
owned
businesses
in
our
community
and
how
the
diversity
and
how
much
diversity
it'll
bring
to
the
district
and
how
this
restaurant
brings
more
culture
to
the
area.
A
Give
it
give
it
all
I've
got
it.
Has
this
gone
to
the
licensing
board.
A
Because
things
are
a
little
bit
backwards
because
then
the
occupancy
permit
shouldn't
have
been
allowed.
If
this
board
this
board
hadn't
reviewed,
reviewed
the
plans,
etc.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
you
know
people
are
not
under
the
impression
that
the
board
is
just
you
know
there
for
the
for
the
for,
for
our
good
looks,
but
there
is
some
real
good
value
and
important
value
to
getting
this
approval
from
our
from
this
board.
A
I
only
want
to
hear
from
a
butters,
so
if
there
are
any
abutters
on
this
call,
please
I
want
to
hear
from
you
everybody
else.
Please
lower
your
hand
or
let
us
raise
your
hand,
elected
officials
who
are
about
us,
raise
your
hand.
Y
Well,
hi
care
I'll
just
speak,
I'm
retaliant,
I'm
an
at
large
speed,
counselor,
I'm
not
a
director
writer,
but
I'm
also
a
resident
of
high
park
and
I'm
here
and
to
speak
in
support
of
park
54
in
their
proposal.

A
We
just
like
yeah,
it
feels
like
the
card
is
before
the
horse
on
this
one,
but
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
copacetic.
