Good

madam

of
the
board
attorney
ryan,
spitz
adams
and
marantzy,
with
the
business
address
of
350
west
broadway,

boston,
we're
here

ask
for
for
a
deferral
so
to
allow
us
to
meet
with
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council
that
has
yet
to
happen.
We're
scheduled
to
meet
with
them
on
may
18th,
and
also
we'd
like
to
a
request
to
be
heard
in
front
of
the
full
board
as
well.
D
B
In
front
of
the
full
board,
does
that
mean
that
it
isn't
that
it
is
not
owner
occupied
correct?
Okay,
so
may
I
have
a
motion
for
a
deferral.
C
Mr
spitz,
we're
going
to
give
you
june
7th.
We
can't
fit
you
in
any
sooner
so
june,
7th
at
11,
30.
C
E
Attorney
john
palgini,
ten
forbes
road
in
braintree
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
we're
requesting
a
deferral
and
also
we
would
like
us
to
go
to
the
full
board.
This
is
also
not
owner
occupied.
We
have
we're
having
an
updated
refusal
letter
which
is
still
at
isd.
E
The
previous
deferral
you
guys
granted
was
on
march
17th
and
it
just
came
up
so
fast
and
things
as
you
guys
know,
sometimes
running
slowly.
So
that's
where
we're
at
we'll
make.
B
F
B
Hanzies,
do
you
have
a
second
a
second
itunes
support
the
date
place.
C
C
G
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
matt
eckel,
with
drago
and
toscano,
with
the
business
address
of
11
beacon
street,
we
are
seeking
a
deferral
this
evening.
We
were
just
brought
on
to
this
case
and
due
to
some
turnover
in
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
got
a
date
quicker
than
expected
here.
We
do
still
have
two
community
groups
to
appear
before
in
the
north
end,
so
we're
seeking
to
have
continued
ongoing
community
process.
G
So
we
would
request
a
deferral
to
perhaps
june
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
time.
Your
june
subcommittee,
if
that
works,
for
the
board.
G
C
I
Yes,
hello,
brian
allen
on
the
architect.
J
I
We're
proposing
a
deck
to
be
finished
over
an
addition.
That's
been
placed
on
the
house,
it
was
current,
it
was
previously
hvac,
mechanical
and
now
the
owner
has
since
moved
in
and
would
like
to
have.
It
finished
as
a
deck.
B
And
so
was
this
edition
done
as
a
friday?
Did
it
come
to
this
board.
B
Okay,
can
I
ask
tom:
was
there
any
provisos
about
no
roof
tax
or
anything
on
this?
On
the
initial
hearing.
B
Okay,
okay,
so
please
tell
us
about
then
this.
This
proposed
deck
brian.
I
Sure
yeah
there
would
be
a
new
trex
deck
on
top
with
wrought
iron
rails
around
it.
The
egress
is
off
the
first
floor.
I
The
current
below
the
deck
is
currently
a
mud
room
and
there's
a
patio
in
that
back
area.
There's
really
only
one
neighbor
view
in
in
the
rear
of
the
deck
that
faces
his
property,
but
there's
a
stockade
fence
that
blaze
basically
blocks
the
deck.
I
K
Yeah,
sorry
about
that,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board,
I'm
just
speaking
with
our
charlestown
liaison
our
office
is
unaware
of
any
concerns,
so
we
haven't
received
any
letters
to
opposition
or
letters
for
support.
Thank
you.
B
H
B
And
let's
just
see,
I
just
lost
it
here.
The
bpda
recommends
approval
with
design
review.
So
can
I
have
a
motion
please.

C

We
can

we'll
come
back
to
it.
Calling
me
the
next
case
calling

This
is
to
extend
an
existing
dormer
to
the
exterior
wall
for
stairway
from
second
to
third
floor.
Allow
enough
headroom
to
walk
up
and
down
the
stairs.
The
violations,
article
65
section,
9
side
yard-
is
insufficient
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
M
G
M
So
we
have
an
existing
dormer,
that's
been
there
since
the
house
was
constructed
and
the
headroom
of
that
dormer
is
too
low
to
be
decoded.
So
we
want
to
increase
the
ceiling
height
so
that
we
can
walk
safely
up
and
down
stairs
to
the
third
floor.
B
Okay,
sorry,
okay
and
so
it's
a
is
it
a
full
okay,
it's
a
full
dormer.
M
Correct
currently
it
it
sits
about
four
feet
behind
the
plane
of
the
of
the
west
blue
stairway,
and
we
want
to
extend
the
front
of
the
dormer
to
the
plane
of
the
house.
So
we're
not
expanding
the
actual
footprint
of
the
building.
Just.
B
M
But
it
doesn't
encroach
on
the
on
the
side.
Your
setback.
B
O
B
H
P
Yes,
my
name
is
jonathan
malek.
I
live
at
18
victoria
street
two
houses
down
from
the
applicants
and
I'd
like
to
say
my
unqualified
support
for
the
request.
P
I
took
a
tour
of
the
house
offered
by
the
previous
owners
before
the
president
has
moved
in
and
I'm
six
foot
six
tall
and
I
remember
I
almost
had
to
bend
double
to
go
up
from
the
second
to
the
third
floor.
The
proposal
will
not
increase
the
footprint
of
the
house.
It
will
simply
make
it
possible
for
the
third
floor
to
be
used
by
anyone
of
any
size.

Q
I
I'm
the
builder
representing
michael
wood.
B
Okay,
so
tell
us
what
is
what's
being
proposed.
Q
Okay,
this
is
part
of
a
renovation
project
geared
towards
making
the
home
a
little
more
accommodating
to
age
in
place.
We'd
like
to
widen,
widen
the
side
stairs
from
three
feet
to
four
feet:
to
in
preparation
for
a
future
ramp
if
needed,
we'd
like
to
add
a
first
floor,
bathroom
a
barrier-free
shower.
If
mobility
becomes
an
issue,
a
rear,
deck,
small
rear
deck
about
eight
and
a
half

and
a
half
feet
that
could
create
some
private
outdoor
space.
Q
If
we
have

put

live
on
the
first

and
it's
michael's
a
longtime
resident
and
he's
just,
he
loves
the
neighborhood.
B
Just
a
couple
of
questions
so
that
that
proposed
stay
away
is
there
is
that
is
that
often
of
an
existing
driveway
and
how
many
cars
you
have
in
that
driveway.
Q
B
Oh
got
it:
okay,
cool
and
I
see
that
rear
deck,
how
the
plants
miss
better.
I
don't
care
the
plants
are
adequate
and
is
anybody
here
to
speak
either
in
support
or
in
opposition.
O
J
I
just
want
to
speak
in
support.
It's
a
great
neighborhood
and
I
too
see
myself
aging
in
place.
So
I'm
just
here
to
speak
on
support
for
the
matter.
B
I
tune
in
support
so
you're
all
set
good
luck.
C
Thank
you
calling
your
next
case
calling
boa
129
5401
19
to
21
cheverus
road.
This
is
to
add
two
non-required
parking
spaces
located
entirely
in
the
side
yard,
in
tandem
configuration
for
an
existing
true
family,
the
violations,
article
10,
section,
1,
a
limitation
of
the
parking
area.
The
proposed
parking
is
within
5
feet
of
the
side,
lot
line,
article
65,
section,
42.7,
side,
yard,
narrow,
lot,
no
side
yard,
in
which
there
is
a
driveway
provided
access
to
off-street
parking
or
off-street.
C
R
Currently
today,
mr
with
the
development
in
the.
F
R
Mrs
shaheen
reached
out
to
us
at
boston
zoning
to
put
the
curb
cut,
apply
for
a
curb
cut
street
opening
permit
to
go
back.
F
B
It's
essentially
straight
denial.
It
basically
talks
about
the
limitation
of
the
area.
It
would
eliminate
the
side
yard
it
would
eliminate
a
publicly
accessible
street
parking
spot
and
interrupt
the
public
sidewalk.
B
You
know
I
so
the
question
for
you
on
behalf
of
your
client
is
whether
you
want
to
take
a
deferral
and
see
if
there's
a
way
of
working
this
out.
Or
would
you
like
to
proceed.
C
B
C
C
B
R
B
So
we
can
proceed
if
you'd
like
to
put
anything
on
the
record.
R
Yes,
madam
chair,
so
the
plan
essentially
speaks
for
itself
and
with
the
bbda
recommendation
you
know
we
appreciate
that
we
would
like
to
proceed
specifically
because
the
side
yard
requirement
here
is
ten
feet.
What's
proposed
is
eight
feet
to
the
edge
of
the
roof
line,
which
is
about
nine
inches
further,
so
we
would
have
one
space
that
would
comply
with
what
would
be
considered
a
a
reduced
space
at
seven
feet
by
eight
seven
feet
by
eighteen
feet
and
also
dorchester.
B
Let
me
just
ask
you
a
question.
I
look
at
the
parking
over
here
and
I
see
that
you
know
if
I
call
space
one
the
one
closest
to
the
street
and
space
two,
the
one
closest
to
the
rear
yard
is
that
what
is
the
distance
between
the
bump
out
of
the
building
and
the
side
property
line,
because
yeah
go
ahead.
R
The
bump-
sorry,
I
just
didn't
mean
to
tell
you
if
I
was
trying
to
answer
it.
The
bump
out
from
the
edge
of
the
roof
line
is
6.7
feet
to
the
property
line,
the
it's
it's
greater
than
that
to
the
actual
side
of
the
building
and
the
foundation
itself.
So
the
the
what
I'm.
B
R
I
see
what
you're
saying
so
so
I
in
in
two
inches,
so
what's
shown
in
the
plan,
is
eight
feet
from
the
edge
of
the
roof
to
the
property
line.
The
roof
hangs
out
approximately
nine
to
ten
inches
from
the
building's
edge,
so
it'd
be
approximately
eight
feet,
ten
inches
in
the
front
and
approximately
seven
feet,
five
inches
in
the
narrowest
point,
and
it's
worth
noting
that
in
dorchester
the
minimum
parking
space
per
the
zoning
code
is
seven
feet
by
18
feet.
So
it
does
would
meet
the
minimum
size.
R
Yes,
yes,
is
the
answer,
and
and
not
only
mr
shaheen
was
able
to
do
so
when
he
first
purchased
the
home
and
in
the
zoning
sub-district
then
was
before
article
65
took
effect,
and
when
the
the
city
closed
the
curb
at
that
area
due
to
construction
in
the
area
they
closed,
there
was
a
curb
cut
there
that
he
was
using
and
he
they
paved
and
curbed
that
first
hundred
yards
in
from
dorchester
rav
with
the
reconstruction
back
in
late,
the
late
80s
a
few
years
after
he
purchased
the
property.
B
Okay,
okay,
is
anybody
here
to
speak
either
in
support
or
in
opposition
of
this
proposal?.
O
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
george
flynn,
with
the
mayor's
office
and
human
services,
many
of
butters
wrote
letters
in
support
of
the
proposal
in
order
to
free
up
more
parking
on
the
street
in
the
saint
marx
association
also
wrote
a
lot
of
support,
as
the
applicants
have
been
great
neighbors
over
the
years.
C
Madam
chair
secretary,
here
we
do
have
letters
one
letter
with
15
names
on
it
and
support
and
four
letters
of
support.
H
Thank
you
in
matter.
I
do
have
some
raised
hands
here.
I'll
start
with
john
finley
just
sent
a
request
to
unmute
you
once
on
youtube.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please.
H
F
So
my
name
is
john
henley
154
center
street,
I'm
the
head
of
the
epiphany
school,
and
I
don't
see
that
I
don't
know
how
to
put
my
camera.
My
my
camera
on
but
anyway
I
doug
sheen's
been
a
terrific,
fantastic
member
of
the
community
super
involved,
and
I
sympathize
with
you
know
the
building
that's
been
going
on
and
parking
has
gotten
increasingly
difficult,
and
I
think
I
all
of
us
at
epiphany
are
fully
in
support
of
this
proposal.
B
H
Sorry,
amanda's
coming
up
and
down
doug
and
gemma.
If
you
are
looking
to
give
testimony
here,
they
may
be
all
set.
Sorry,
thank
you.
Okay,.
B
So,
given
the
the
planning
perspective
from
the
bpda
and
the
technical
perspective
from
the
boston
transportation
department,
I
you
know,
I
think
we
should
have
that
advise
us
in
our
decision
making.
So
may
I
have
a
motion
please.
Madam.
L
Chair,
I
also
had
concerns
with
the
opening
of
the
car
doors,
so
I'm
gonna
prefer
a
motion
to
deny.
B
I
tune
and
support
so
the
the
proposal
has
been
denied.
Thank
you.

She

a

I
did
send

request
to
unmute

Let
me
try
it
again,
but
she
should
be
able
to

unless
she's
having

The
existing

has
a
front
porch
that
was
converted
at
some
point
in
time.
In
the
past,
it's
a
one-story

we're
removing
that,
because
we
cannot
put
a
second
story
edition
on
it.
Z

Put

the

back
in,
we
would
like
to
infill
the
areas
that
are
in
the
hatch,
not
the
not
the
crosshatch,
just
a
straight
hatch,
and
basically,
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
square
off
the
front
of
the
house
on.
B

O

Okay,

This
is
to
move
the

from

right
side
of
the
home
and
extend
the
front

front

and
forward
to
make
it
larger
also
to
raise
the
room
from
the
second

with

deck
and
sliding

the
violations,
article
65,
section,

the
front
yard-
is
insufficient.
C
AA
Good
evening,
tyrone
smith,
as
well
as
my
wife,
bb
mercen
smith
of
1224
martin
street,
we
submitted
the
proposed
plan
had
our
community
meeting
as
well.
The
violations
were
in
reference
to
the
the
side,
yard
and
rare
yard,
as
he
just
stated,.
B
Smith,
can
you
tell
us
which
plans
we
should
look
at
so
we
can
clearly
understand
what
you're
proposing
to
do
correct.
B
AA
Yes,
yes,
because
I
had
the
plans
chains
do
mainly
due
for
one
the
violation,
as
well
as
the
initial
change
of
the
expansion
we
realized.
So
that's
the
front
of
the
new
proposed
plan
with
the
expansion,
roughly
total
of
13
feet
from
the
existing.
Now
to
the
new
plan
that
you
have
before
you
was
13
feet
out
as
well
as
19
feet,
13
by
19
feet.
AA
We
initially
expanded
the
19
feet
to
the
rear
of
the
house,
equal
level
with
the
rear
house,
and
we
learned
that
that
was
in
violation
through
the
architect.
So
we
scaled
back
to
19
feet.
So
now
the
initial
proposed
plan
before
you
is
19
feet
wide
by
13
feet.
AA
I
you
mean
we
had
the
butters
meeting,
no.
B
And
okay,
we
see
the
rooftop.
How
will
the
plans
miss
better
adam.
L
Chair
the
plan,
the
plans
are
adequate.
I
do
have
a
question
regarding
this.
The
existing
basement
and
the
proposal
has
it
at
the
ceiling
height
of
six
foot
seven
and
you
should
have
so.
I
want
to
know
if
it's
existing,
if
there's
doing
any
kind
of
renovation,
because
it
says
proposed
basement,
but
you
can
see-
has
a
height
of
six
foot,
seven,
which
is
not
adequate.
So
I
just
wanted
an
explanation
for
that.
AA
Yeah
we're
not
doing
anything
to
the
basement,
a
good
catch.
Perhaps
that's
an
error
or
what
page
you're
on,
because.
AA
Yes,
he's
not
doing
anything
to
the
basement.
This
is
all
initially
interior,
as
well
as
going
exterior.
AB
Hi
yes,
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
dante
peeples
here
of
the
mary's
office,
neighborhood
services,
the
applicant
had
in
a
buddhist
meeting
run
by
ons
on
february
3rd,
2021,
2022,
sorry
and
where
support
was
shown
by
butters
and
then
also
there
was
a
neighborhood
association
meeting
with
the
lower
middle
civic
association
on
february
15th,
where
the
association
gave
verbal
support,
but
I
don't
believe
they
they
were
able
to
put
in
a
letter
but,
like
I
said,
both
support
at
their
buddha's
meeting
and
at
the
association.
AB
H
S
Sure,
hopefully
you
can
hear
me.
H
S
Okay,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I
just
would
like
to
speak
in
favor
of
these
recommended
alterations
to
the
smith
family,
home
they've
been
long-standing
members
of
the
community.
S
I
do
believe
that
these
quality
life
improves
will
further
anchor
his
and
his
family's
commitment
to
this
community
in
anchoring
them
to
a
larger,
extended
family
that
also
exists
in
the
area.
Mr
smith
and
his
family.
S
S
In
a
number
of
different
areas
with
snow,
plowing
and
other
other
directions.
Q
S
C
C
For
calling
the
next
case
calling
voa
128

wellesley
park,
this
is
increased
living
area,
renovation
of
an
unfinished
space
or
on
partially
finished
third
floor.
No
structural
or
exterior
changes.
The
violations,
article
65
section
9,
the
fluidity
ratio-
is
excessive
and
article
65,
section
9.
The
building
is
excessive
in
stories
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
AC
So
we
have
an
existing
single-family
home
in
wellesley
park.
My
wife
and
I
have
lived
here
about
10
years
the
what
would
be
considered.
The
third
story,
which
is
colloquially
we'd
call
an
attic,
has
two
finished
rooms
and
then
one
unfinished
gable.
We're
proposing.
B
Okay,
can
you
tell
us,
please,
which
page
is
the
best
one
to
look
at
to.
AC
AC
So
it
would
be
best
to
look
at
the
you're
looking
at
existing
conditions,
because
we
had
to
document
that
for
the
floor
area
ratio,
I
would
go
to
the
end
and
there
should
be
a
proposed
plan
so
right
here.
That
was
actually
a
good
plan
to
look
at
the
first
one
go
back
one
page,
please.
This
is
existing
conditions
on
our
third
floor.
Shall
we
call
it?
You
have
the
office
the
bedroom
and
then
what
would
be
classed
as
unfinished
storage
off
to
the
lower
right?
AC
You
can
see
we'd
like
to
finish
off
that
unfinished
storage
space
put
in
a
bathroom
above
the
other
bath
on
the
second
floor
and
just
finish
it
off
put
proper
heating
and
cooling
up
there
with
the
heat
pumps.
B
AC
O
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
george
quinn
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
our
office
hosted
an
abundance
meeting
for
the
proposal
on
february
15th
butters
in
the
melville
park.
Neighborhood
association
were
in
full
support
at
this
time.
Our
office
would
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
C
Calling
your
next
case
calling
boa
one:
two:
five,
eight
zero
three,
two
nineteen
webster
street.
This
is
a
change
of
arc
from
one
family
to
a
two
family.
The
violation
is
article
69,
section,
nine,
the
lottery
for
additional
dwelling
unit
isn't
sufficient
article
69,
section,
9,
usable,
open
space
requirements,
insufficient
article
80,
section,
80e-2,
application
of
a
small
project,
review
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
B
Okay
and
tell
us
how
you're
proposing
to
do
that.
W
So
the
building
has
been
vacant
for
quite
some
time,
and
each
unit
will
have
two
separate
means
of
egress
and
there
will
be
a
second,
so
there's
two
one
first
floor
unit
and
the
second
floor
unit
will
be
a
combination
of
the
second
floor
and
the
third
floor.
B
B
1700
and
what's
the
flow
to
ceiling
height
in
the
attic.
B
Okay,
let's
see
okay
and
which
unit
do
you
occupy.
L
I
don't
care
the
plans
are
adequate.
I
just
I
have
a
question.
Is
there
any
exterior
on
the
elevation,
any
modifications,
or
is
it
purely
interior,
with
the
additions
of
entry
to
allow
for
the
second
unit
to
exist
so.
W
The
footprint
of
the
property
is
not
changing
in
any
way,
shape
or
form.
The
only
thing
that's
going
to
be
added
will
be
the
second
floor
egress,
and
that
would
be
a
deck
on
the
side
that
doesn't
necessarily
affect,
or
it's
not
an
extension,
it's
an
exterior
deck
as
a
second
form
of
ignis.
Thanks.
C
Madam
chair
man
of
chair
secretary,
I
just
wanted
to
ask
miss
spontaneous
you
got.
Are
you
currently
working
on
this
building
on
a
separate
permit.
W
Yes,
so
right
now,
there's
no
work
being
done.
I'm
in
the
process
of
hiring
another
contractor-
and
you
know,
solidifying
who's
gonna
complete
the
work.
B
W
So
originally
I
had
a
contractor
because
of
covet
a
lot
of
things
got
abandoned,
left
unfinished.
So
I'm
in
the
process
of
finding
someone
to
complete
the
work.
Okay,
so
a
long
form
was
pulled
out.
A
long
form
permit
was
pulled
in
the
initiation
of
the
project.
B
W
In
the
let
me
just
reference
my
notes
here,
so
I
guess
respectfully.
I
would
ask
for
variance,
because
I
am
760
square
feet,
shy
of
what
would
naturally
be
requested
in
ward
18
for
a
multi-unit
dwelling.
W
The
interior
of
the
house
is
just
under
3
000
square
feet,
but
the
exterior
we're
at
7250,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
and
I've
done
a
little
bit
of
research
and
in
the
area
there
are
other
two
families
in
hyde
park.
B
I
guess
who
has
the
screen?
Can
you
can
you
expand?
This
photo
a
little
bit
this
drawing
tell
us,
while
this
drawing
is
up
how
the
parking
is
proposed
to
work.
So
the.
W
Parking
is
proposed,
but
using
an
easement
that
was
in
the
back,
and
I
guess
from
my
understanding
there
is
an
easement
from
central
ave
to
behind
webster
that
has
been
used
during
the
construction
of
the
you
know.
Over
the
course
of
the
period
I've
had
the
property
for
two
years
now,
to
my
knowledge
that
easement
is
available
to
go
in
and
out
of
the
property.
B
X
X
During
this
meeting,
wanna
butter
did
express
support
for
the
project,
while
two
other
butters
that
were
in
attendance,
raised
concerns
and
confusion
about
the
legality
of
the
easement,
which
is
the
driveway
where
21
and
23
webster
street
currently
park,
and
how
this
being
proposed
as
an
entry
point
for
19
webster
street
would
impact
them.
Following
the
meeting,
the
applicant
was
instructed
to
connect
with
the
concerned
neighbors
to
provide
clarification
on
that
easement,
as
well
as
provide
plans
for
the
project
to
abutters.
X
We
have
three
letters
of
opposition
for
this
proposal
and
they
have
been
sent
to
the
board
for
review
at
this
time.
We
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board
for
judgment.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you
and
I'll
start
with
beth
for
the
testimony
you've
been
unmuted.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
with
the
record?
Please.
N
For
me,
yes,
yes,
my
name
is
beth
burlingame
and
I
live
at
21
webster
street
and
my
understanding.
N
We
we
only
allowed
for
opening
up
of
the
fence
to
allow
the
dumpsters
to
go
in
and
out,
not
for
acknowledging
that
there
would
be
any
ongoing
access
only
we
agreed
to
it
only
to
allow
the
to
be
kindly
the
neighbor
allow
the
for
the
dumpster
to
go
back
and
forth,
and
it
would
affect
our
our
parking.
N
We
have
two
parking
spots,
as
does
our
condo
association
neighbors,
and
there's
no
way
that
mars
could
go
through
there
and
we
would
still
have
our
off
street
parking,
which
was
part
of
what
our
understanding
is,
and
we
have.
We
have
a
deed
that
suggests
that
there's
no
easement.
B
We
just
need
to
hear
from
everybody
and
then
we'll
give
you
a
chance
to
respond.
Okay,
in
the
meantime,
any
more
raised
hands,
miss
ambassador
yep.
AD
AD
We
would
not
have
agreed
to
it,
and
so
it
was
just
it's
really
not
handled
well,
and
we've
lived
in
that
we've
lived
in
our
home
for
11
years
now,
and
we
spoke
to
the
person
who
built
the
home
and
sold
it
to
us,
and
he
said
he
has
no
record
of
any
easement
ever
being
there.
So
yeah
we're
concerned
about
parking
and
the
neighborhood
is
very
much
a
single
family,
primarily
area
and
we're
concerned
and
oppose
it
as
changing
even
the
parking
situation.
AD
The
house
is
next
to
ours,
we're
on
the
corner.
They
will
be
next
to
ours,
which
would
create
an
issue
with
parking
closer
to
the
corner
and
traffic
congestion,
and
it's
just
not
set
up
for
two
families.
It's
not
that
big
and
there's
no
yard
if
she
takes
it
away
from
parking
which
is
not
possible.
Thank
you.
I
can't
do
it.
AD
H
Yep
that's
sent
to
the
request
you
once
you're
unmuted.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please
hi,
valerie,
okay,
I
think
she
might
be
all
set.
I
don't
see
her
hand
raised
anymore
and
that's
all
we
have
for
ray's
dance.
Madam
chair,
thank
you.
B
I
think
you
spoke
very
eloquently
on
his
behalf
too
you're
good.
Thank
you
any.
So,
let's
see
miss
fontenez,
oh
well,
there's
one
more
hand
raised
miss
brown
go
ahead.
H
H
H
B
W
Absolutely
so
the
easement
I
only
found
out
about
it
because
I
went
to
the
registry
of
deeds
and
I
did
the
research
for
that
area,
that
property
and
it
was
set
forth
in
1918
to
be
exact,
and
it
was
originally
used
for
horse
and
carriage
to
be
drawn
items
into
the
back
from
central
street
of
webster
street.
So
I
was
informed
about
45
minutes
before
this
meeting
by
one
of
my
neighbors
that
the
legality
that
she
shared
with
me
about
the
easement.
So
it's
it
existed.
W
B
So
you
know
what
I
think
miss
fontaine
is
is
that
there
seems
to
be
we.
We
see
this
fairly
frequently
that
that
there
needs
to
be
more
work
between
you
and
your
neighbors.
You
may
want
to
hire
some
somebody
to
help
you
with
the
legal
front
so
that
you
know
exactly
what
your
access
issues
are.
Okay,.
W
If
I'm
a
madam
chair
yeah,
so
my
other
my
other
concern
here,
that
is,
if,
if

AE
Hi
good
evening,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
marco
savarino,
representing
miss
gladys
frias
for
this
project.
Miss
gladys
frias
have
been
part
of
the
of
the
community
for
many
years
and
have
served,
and
she
had
lived
in
this
house
for
many
years
and
have
a
son
that
would
like
to
have
him
be
part
of
of
of
that
building,
which
is
the
reason
why
she
wanted
to
convert
it
to
a
two
family.
AE
Yes,
so
we
are
proposing
that
sistinghouse.
Currently
the
setbacks
fall.
AE
Yes,
yeah.
I
know
I
noticed
that
so
the
existing
household,
with
within
the
the
side
and
and
rear
the
setbacks,
fall
into
into
the
testing
structure.
So
by
adding
a
second
floor,
it
basically
triggers
the
non-conformity
on
those
two
sides.
So
we
are
basically
following
the
same
footprint
of
the
existing
structure
and
basically
adding
up
a
front
porch
as
a
very
appeal
of
the
of
the
building.
B
AE
Yes,
so
the
first
unit
I
actually
did
the
math,
because
I
noticed
madame
chair,
you
were
asking
the
questions.
The
first
unit
would
be
1776
square
feet
and
the
second
unit
will
be
1600
square
feet.
AE
AE
B
And
in
the
basement.
AE
AE
AE
B
B
AE
AE
AE
Yeah,
so
that
that
was
actually
a
request
from
madame
gladys
frias.
She
actually
had
that
that
love
for,
for
that
look,
aesthetic,
look
and
she
actually
wanted
to
be
able
to
access
that
space
there
on
the
attic.
So,
which
is
the
reason
why
we
incorporated.
B
B
Oh,
I
see
okay,
so
the
plans
are
adequateness
better
right.
Yes,
okay
is
anybody
here
to
speak
either
in
support
or
in
opposition
of
this
proposal?.
X
Good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
danielle
fonseca
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
the
applicants
for

poissus

completed
the
community
process
within
a
butters
meeting
that
I
hosted,
and
this
was
on
february
17th.
They
received
full
support
from
neighbors.
Ms
gladys
also
presented
the
proposal
to
the
bellnell
family
neighborhood
association,
which
she
is
also
an
active
member
on
their
association's
board,
and
she
received
full
support
and
a
letter
of
support
which
has
been
sent
to
the
board
at
this
time.
AG
Good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
jordan
fries
here
from
council
ricardo
royal's
office,
who
wants
more
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
Thank
you.
H
V
V
H
B
B
That
no
worries
is
so
I'm
ready
for
a
motion.
May
I
have
a
motion
please.
L
Adam
madam
chair,
I
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
of
approval
with
bpda
design
review
to
pay
special
attention
to
the
spiral
stairway.
The
exterior
material
and
also
the
size
of
the
dormer.
B
H
Power,
alright,
one
second
david
sent
a
request
to
unmute
you
once
unmuted.
Can
you,
let's
see.
H
Hey
david
can
hear
us,
I
know
we're
having
some
issues
with
it
earlier,
trying
to
make
them
a
panelist
saying.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
now,
oh
yeah,
okay,
david
and
giselle.
Yes,
okay,
go
ahead.
B
And
so
your
your
violations,
your
two
simple
violations,
appear
to
be
the
one
I'm
I
think,
I'm
concerned
about.
Is
the
side
yard?
What
is
your
your
side
yard,
from
the
building
line,
to
your
property
line
and,
what's
required
by
code.
AH
B
AH
B
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
how
close
they
are
to
the
property
line,
because
just
because
we
need
to
protect
their
rights
too,
in
some
ways.
L
AH
B
Okay,
how
would
the
plants
miss
some
better.
L
AH
Do
have
that
and
I
did
submit
that
as
well.
I
submitted
a
the
way.
It
is
right
now
and
a
proposed
plot
plan
as
well.
The
only
thing
we
really
are
changing
is,
if
you're,
looking
at
the
picture
where
it's
up
on
the
screen
right
now,
if
you're
looking
at
the
middle
graph
on
the
left
hand
side.
Where
is
this
actually
perfect,
like
that,
there
is
a
blue
line
where
it
says
11
and
seven
eight.
B
L
X
X
They
did
receive
support
from
one
of
the
butters
that
was
on
the
meeting
for
not
only
them
as
neighbors,
but
for
the
proposal
itself,
our
office
has
not
directly
received
any
letters
of
support
or
opposition
from
this
proposal,
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board
for
judgment.
Thank
you.
B
B
Itunes
support
so
you're
all
set
for
that
proviso,
and
if
you
could
please
forward
a
plot
plan
just
just
for
insurance
purposes,
okay,.
A
A
AH
B
So
hold
on
one
minute:
let's
just
make
sure
tom
or
tom
can
give
you
a
buzz.
If
we
need
it.
Okay,
let's
leave
it
a
thought.
Okay,
thank
you
for.
C
Calling
the
next
case
calling
voa
128
3265
26
hawthorne
street.
This
is
to
create
a
two-room
office
space
with
half
bath
interior,
of
an
existing
garage
windows
and
exterior
doors
and
are
pre-existing,
and
this
is
accessory
office,
use
the
violations.
Article,
67,
section,
8,
accessory
office,
uses
forbidden
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
AI
B
I
see
okay
and
you're
not
changing
anything
on
it.
It's
just
the
interior
layout
right
exactly.
AI
Currently,
I
do
not,
I
would,
in
the
future,
with
with
coveted
safety.
Things
like
to
in
the
future.
Have
visitors
come.
B
So
I
I
think
I
think
what
what
we
would
be
concerned
about
is
with
your
visitors.
How
would
it
impact
your
neighbors
having
them
and
if
you
would
anticipate
any
evening
or
night
uses
of
that
space
of
that
office,
space.
AI
I
could
anticipate
some
evening
use,
definitely
not
night
use
and
we
have
a
there's
lots
of
public
parking
on
the
street.
We
also
would
not
be.
I
would
not
be
having
like
multiple
people
come
at
any
time.
B
So
it's
basically
one-on-one
consultation,
in
other
words,
okay.
Okay,
how
are
the
plans
miss
better.
L
B
Okay,
given
that
information
is
anybody
here
to
speak
either
in
support
or
an
opposition's
proposal,
good.
AF
Evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is,
and
I
am
the
roslindale
liaison
with
the
mayor's
office.
We
conducted
a
neighborhood
meeting
for
this
project.
On
what
day
was
it
in
in
february?
A
lot
of
the
concerns
for
neighbors
revolved
around
just
how
this
may
become
a
commercial
space
in
the
future.
Potentially,
my
office
did
receive
one
letter
of
opposition
and
we'll
defer
judgment
on
this
project
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
H
Z
Robert
murad
24
hawthorne
street,
I'm
the
direct
neighbor.
We
have
a
shared
driveway,
we
did
have
the
neighborhood
meeting.
There
were
concerns
about
the
layout
and
the
original,
drawing
with
a
lounge
area.
It
was
stated
it
was
just
going
to
be
for
personal
office
use
at
that
time.
Z
Now
it
seems
like
we're
going
into
a
commercial
use
which
would
would
upset
the
fabric
of
this
neighborhood.
I
believe
there's
a
lot
of
young
kids
in
this
neighborhood
and
our
driveway
is
a
shared
driveway.
You
know
I'd
be
concerned
about
that
use,
so
those
are
my
oppositions
and
if
the
use
of
the
garage
is
is
probably
used
for
just
an
office
space
and
not
a
commercial
zoned
area
in
this
neighborhood.
AI
May
I
respond
yeah
please,
so
I
have
been
looking
into
the
zoning
on
this
for
exactly
this
question,
because
when
my
neighbors
raised
the
concern
of
a
commercial
space,
I
wanted
to
be
very
clear
on
what
that
meant.
I
was
my
understanding
is
that
the
previous
owners
of
our
property
were
using
the
garage
to
service
vehicles,
which
was
I'm
assuming
disruptive
to
folks.
I
have
a
very
small
private
practice
as
psychotherapist,
and
my
understanding
is
that
it's
completely
within
zoning
under
article
10
to
be
able
to
have
a
private
practice
from
your
home.
B
AI
B
Okay,
hanzi,
do
you
know
the
street.
B
Yeah,
okay,
so
let's
just
see
okay,
so
it's
time
for
a
motion.
I
think
one
to
this
petitioner
only
for
that
for
that
use.
What
are
there
any
other
conditions
that
might
protect
the
butters
on
this.
C
Yeah,
madam
chair,
you
know,
obviously
I
think
what
happened
in
the
past
with
an
auto
repair.
You
know
things
are
going
to
happen.
Yeah.
C
C
B
Okay,
okay,
so
so
motion.
So
what
do
you
think
a
motion
for
approval,
because
the
accessory
office
is
a
forbidden
use?
So
so
do
you
think
to
this
petitioner
only.
C
B
L
Go
ahead.
Sorry
go
ahead.
I
I'm
I'm
moving
towards
not
supporting
that
motion,
but
someone
needs
to
call
that
motion.
L
What's
what's
there,
my
hesitations
is
that
it
it
would,
it
would
really
be
commercial
use
and
it
just
sets
a
precedent
and
then
what
is
to
what
is
not
to
then
provoke
that
separate
structure
then
being
expanded
upon
into
other
uses
in
the
future.
So
my
my
sense
is:
we
have
to
think
of
it
as
a
commercial
use,
because
it's
not
existing
in
the
home
and-
and
so
I
would
lean
against
that
motion.
But
someone
could
put
that
motion
forward.
L
AI
B
It
would
certainly
be
different
if
you
had
it
in
your
home
versus
in
a
garage
where
you
know
it
sets
a
whole
different
other
set
of
things
in
motion,
because
because
there
is
the
possibility
that
and
and
the
fear
for
neighbors
is
that
that
would
be
expect
the
office
space
would
be
expanded
on
in
a
different
way
than
it
would
be
if
it
was
in
your
house.
So
it's
a
slope
concern.
B
Let's
see
exactly
so
this
better.
What
and
and
mr
fortune
wanted
me
go
ahead
with
a
motion
because
I
do
think
absolutely
there's
there's
value
in
the
thought
of
thinking
about
it
as
the
creeping
in
of
commercial
uses
in
a
residential
neighborhood.
B
C
Calling
your
next
case
calling
doa
one
two,
eight
one,
three,
eight
one,
ninety
nine
to
one:
oh
one,
a
franklin
street:
this
is
the
roof,
the
proviso
grant
to
this
owner
and
occupant.
Only
and
change
august
from
a
single
family
without
accessory
use,
mixed
use,
two
to
a
two
family
with
office
accessory
use
and
one
retail.
C
U
So
I
purchased
this
building
from
my
former
neighbor
who
resided
and
worked
out
of
the
building,
ran
his
business
out
of
this
building
and
was
last
before
the
board
in
94.
I
believe
it
was
94,
maybe
96.,
so
I
purchased
this
building
a
year
ago
from
his
estate.
He
sadly
passed
away
and
I'm
trying
to
get
a
variance
to
make
the
building
conform
with
the
way
it's
actually
been
used
for
the
last
number
of
years.
U
He
built
out
a
second
rental
unit
residential
unit
back
in
2010,
not
permitted
legal
and
otherwise.
U
U
I'm
proposing
I'm
proposing
to
only
change
the
the
occupancy
of
the
space.
B
U
Unit
two
I'm
requesting
office
accessory
use
could
be
our
accessory
use,
but
office
accessory
use
and
unit.
Three
is
a
commercial
space
art
gallery,
retail,
which
is
allowed
by
wright.
B
U
B
U
A
utility
room
that
is
commonly
accessible
to
both
unit
3
and
unit
2,
as
the
panel
for
unit
2,
resides
in
that
room.
So
that
is
common
area.
B
Okay-
and
you
know
it's
been
a
little
while,
since
I
was
on
franklin,
are
these
windows
flow
to
pretty
much
floor-to-ceiling
windows
or
how
have
they
been
treated
in
the
meantime?.
U
There's
a
commercial
building
next
door
that
has
essentially
floor
ceiling
windows.
This
building
has
now
you
can
see
on
the
plan.
If
you
go
up,
there's
a
two
entrance
doors
that
are
just
standard
commercial
doors.
Maybe
36
inch
wide
and
you
can
see
one
two
three.
A
U
U
I
am
proposing
to
leave
the
units
as
they
are.
The
basement
has
been
dug
down
to
increase
ceiling
height
to
nearly
eight
feet
and
yeah.
My
proposal
is
to
essentially
leave
the
building,
as
is
I'm
just
trying
to
get
approval
for
the
way
it
has
been
essentially
broken
up
for
the
last
10
or
12
years.
B
And
now
can
I
don't
know
who's
running
the
screen
today?
Can
you
go
to
the
next
page
and
show
us
what's
happening
in
the
basement.
U
Well,
so
this
these
drawings
are
essentially
existing
conditions,
so
I'm
not
making
a
proposal
at
this
point
to
modify
the
building
what's
happening.
Right
now
is
unit,
one
has
its
own.
You
know
basement
that
kitchenette
finished
laundry
back
there
and
unit
there's
a
storage
area,
essentially
underneath
the
other
two
that
will
need
in
the
future
a
stairwell,
but
at
the
moment
the
access,
the
entire
basement
is
through
unit
one,
and
in
fact
the
entire
basement
is
rented
to
the
rented.
B
Okay,
and
is
there
a
plan,
then
to
at
some
point,
provide
individual
access
to
the
basement
to
unit
two.
U
I
U
Doing
a
lot
of
preventive
maintenance
to
bring
the
building
to
stop
all
the
leaks,
etc,
etc.
U
So
in
the
long
term,
longer
term,
hopefully
in
the
next
year
or
two,
the
basement
will
be
cleared
of
personal
effects
of
previous
owner
and
I
can
go
before
the
board
again
and
set
this
up
properly.
B
B
K
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
The
applicant
went
before
the
austin
civic
association
received
strong
support.
You
know,
as
as
the
aca's
letter
you
know,
reports,
this
property
has
been
kind
of
unique
on
franklin
street
for
an
extended
period
of
time
and
they're
excited
that
you
know
someone's
taking
ownership
of
this
building
and
making
the
improved
maintenance
on
the
parts
that
need
to
be
improved
upon.
K
B
A
B
A
B
Yep,
probably
probably
wrote
the
bpda
decision
on
