From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearing 10-16-18 Part 1
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.

The
next
two
cases
are
companion
cases
and
believe
it
or
not,
that'll
last
two,
so
everybody
can
get
excited.
D
B
E
H
H
Obviously,
I
think
the
way
we
want
to
handle
this
is
as
one
project
and
so
there's
the
issue
of
building
code
relief
in
this
issue's
G
Cod.
So
what
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
do
is
describe
the
project
in
totality.
What
you're
trying
to
accomplish
overall
and
then
we'll
deal
with
those
issues
separately.
So
take
it
away.
C
Good
morning,
so
before
we
get
to
the
technical
aspects
of
the
petitions,
the
Boston
Housing
Authority
owns
these
townhouses
in
the
South
Bend
on
West
Newton
Street
and
in
the
three
on
rattlin
Street
over
the
years.
We
have
not
had
enough
funding
to
keep
these
properties
properly
up
to
date,
and
in
fact,
a
few
of
that
of
the
unit's
right
now
are
uninhabitable
and
we
just
have
not
had
the
funds
to
keep
them
occupied.
There
is
a
new
source
of
funds
from
the
federal
government
from
HUD
and
in
conjunction
with
IVA.
C
It's
an
exciting
opportunity
for
us
to
be
able
to
renovate
these
properties,
have
them
fully
occupied
and
preserve
an
affordable
housing
resource
in
a
central
part
of
Boston.
So
it's
a
very
important
project
and
the
Boston
Housing
Authority
is
supporting
the
project
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
ebo
on
it.
One
thing
I
do
want
to
mention
is
that
we
have
had
a
substantial
community
process
with
a
Boston
Housing
residents
and
with
the.
I
Okay,
I
think
this
will
make
it
simpler
what
we're
proposing,
what
all
of
those
cases
consist
of?
There
are
five
clusters
of
five
each
buildings
on
West
Newton,
and
then
these
two
outliers
are
total
of
27
buildings.
So
what
this
diagram
is
showing
is
what
we're
proposing
to
do
is
add
fire
protection
to
all
the
buildings,
as
well
as
fire
alarms
of
major
life
safety
upgrades.
There
are
other
upgrades
as
well,
including
I,
think,
as
importantly,
full
521
cm
are
compliance
handicapped
compliance
across
the
entire
complex.
I
Each
of
these
five
clusters
already
share
in
those
according
to
the
five
clusters:
they're
domestic
water
service,
as
well
as
sewer
lines.
What
we're
proposing
to
do
is
retain
those
clusters
and
provide
a
fire
service
at
each
of
those
buildings
of
the
the
g-code
is
triggered
by
the
extent
of
the
renovation.
I
So
that's
included
we're
proposing
a
large,
a
filtration
system
along
the
entire
back
of
this
building
and
then
individual
groundwater
and
filtration
systems
at
the
Rutland
buildings,
and
so
the
building
code
variances
that
were
proposing
are
to
be
able
to
share
in
the
same
way
that
the
domestic
water
services
are
for
share.
We
want
to
share
the
fire
services
across
those
clusters
of
inmates.
It's
actually
pretty
simple,
so.
G
Typically,
each
building
would
require
its
own
fire
service
and
why
don't
see
we
didn't
want
25
fire
services,
so
they
agreed
to
approach
the
fire
service
approach
the
same
way
the
domestic
is
as
cliff
had
mentioned,
and
so,
if
the
fire
walls
weren't
there,
we
wouldn't
need
this
variance,
but
the
fact
that
they
are
there
and
they
are
separate
buildings
and
not
allowed
to
share
this
under
the
Building
Code.
And
that's
why
the
building
code
variances
is
required.
So.
I
G
The
domestic
line
is
not
a
it's,
not
a
really
a
code
issue.
It's
a
water
sewer
policy
issue
I,
but
I
would
suppose,
but
the
the
fire
alarm
sharing
and
the
fire
service
share
the
sprinklers
yeah.
The
penetrations
aren't
the
issue
you
can
fire
stop
penetrations?
It's
the
fact
that
the
walls
are
there,
sharing
a
fire
alarm
and
a
sprinkler
system.
J
J
G
J
G
I
H
So
we
have
Helen
Cohen
issues.
We
have
decon
issues,
there's
no
other
variances
that
are
part
of
this
application:
incorrect
okay.
So
let's
take
them
one
at
a
time
unless
will
bundle
them,
since
this
is
all
essentially
one
project,
even
though
mr.
Calvin
edrick
to
revisit
that
were
100
mr.
mazzani
Howard.
Let's,
let's
do
the
building
code
issue.
First,.
J
We
had
reviewed
the
drawings
last
Thursday
and
the
drawings
are
adequate
and
again
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
grant
the
building
code
relief
for
two
reasons:
number
one
buildings
of
being
substantially
upgraded
to
provide
major
protection
for
life
safety
and
number
two.
The
relief
requested
is
really
de
minimis
in
the
following
senses:
simply
the
penetration
through
the
walls.
Now,
having
said
that,
of
course,
it
all
comes
down
to
the
details
and
exactly
how
the
fire
safety
and
all
of
that.
H
Seconds
before
before,
I
take
a
vote
on
it,
just
to
be
clear
for
the
record.
This
has
been
reviewed
by
Boston
water
and
sewer
and
by
the
fire
department
correct,
and
they
support
this
approach.
I
mean
the
alternative
will
be
putting
25
individual
lines
in
the
street,
which
I
can
understand
why
they
would
object
you,
okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all,
those
in
favor
aye,
all
those
opposed.
Okay,
the
building.
J
K
J
I
H
L
M
Good
morning,
chairman
members
of
the
board
I
do
want
to
clarify.
We
normally
don't
speak
on
both
the
cheek,
odd
and
Building
Code
relief,
but
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
full
support
of
this
project
because
it
is
upgrading
on
much-needed,
affordable
housing
in
the
south.
Then,
with
an
eye
towards
preservation,
my
name
is
P
Street
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
N
O
H
Q
R
Chairman
and
members
of
the
board,
there's
this
little
intimidating
and
obviously
I
feel
like
it's
a
David
versus
Goliath,
but
I'd
like
to
be
heard
and
you're
all
on
this
board,
because
you're
very
good
at
what
you
do
and
I'm
asking
you
to
remove
your
hats
right
now
and
put
on
the
homeowner
hat.
You
just
spent
27
28
minutes.
You.
R
All
right,
Jennifer,
Bousquet,
59,
Rutland,
Street
Arthur,
you
just
spend
about
28
29
minutes
explaining
everything
that's
happening,
and
you
made
some
jokes
along
the
way
about
how
long
it's
going
to
take
I'm
a
homeowner,
and
what
you
just
read
is
what
we
on
Rutland
Street
on
the
outside
are
going
to
be
experiencing
for
up
to
18
months.
I
am
all
for
this
renovation.
Do
not
get
me
wrong.
R
R
That's
gonna
happen
around
where
you
live
so
for
19
months,
your
life
is
completely
going
to
be
inconvenience
again,
I'm,
not
saying
no
I
am
requesting
for
a
delay
on
a
decision
until
they
truly
do
what
they
say
that
we're
gonna
do
and
just
meet
with
us
sit
down
with
the
rest.
Not
just
two
of
us
who
had
time
from
work
to
come
here
but
really
sit
down,
show
us
what
they're
doing
I
have
to
take
the
alley
every
day
and
in
their
email,
they're
saying,
there's
going
to
be
inconvenience.
Well,
what
is
the
inconvenience?
R
What
are
you
going
to
do
in
2010
and
I
beg
to
differ?
I
went
through
some
construction
issues
that
bh8
it
from
the
rear
of
the
building,
to
putting
grass
and
and
do
curbing,
and
it
looks
great,
but
that
was
also
a
nightmare
and
I'm
just
saying
communication,
guys
I
mean
you
can't
sit
here
for
a
little
homeowner
and
say
your
life
is
gonna,
be
turned
around
for
18
months
and
I've
got
all
my
lawyers
here
with
all
my
my
charts
and
everything.
R
It's
not
fair
and
I'm,
asking
you
not
it
as
boards,
but
as
homeowners.
If
you
can
just
empathize
with
us
and
say
she's,
not
saying
no
she's
saying
communicate
we're
delaying
the
decision
until
you
sit
down
with
the
Rutland
Street
owners
and
explain
exactly
what
you're
doing
that's
all
I
was
asking
for.
Thank.
H
You
in
the
applicants,
the
person
testifying,
seemed
to
express
some
unhappiness
with
the
level
of
communication
that
has
happened
over
the
course
of
this
that
obviously
any
kind
of
construction
is
disruptive
and
that's
one
of
the
reason
we
have
community
meetings
to
talk
about
that.
Can
you
speak
to
why
this
process
hasn't
been
better.

a

support.
You'll
have
many
other
nonprofits
I'm
here
I
speak
in
favor.
As
I
said,
this
is
a
family.
That's
been
part
of
the
community.
V
Every
nonprofit
in
the
community
during
those
times
this
is
something
that
allows
them
other
receipts,
a
great
business
I'm
going
to
be
on
the
Commission
assisting
Boston
community.
Every
digital
billboard
is
required
to
provide
15
hours
per
month,
w
in
the
area
or
different
emergencies
and
potential
emergencies.
In
addition,
welcoming
communications
as
committed
to
the
nonprofit's
to
provide
an
additional
fifty
2.5
hours
per
month
for
their
use,
I
think
maybe
a

for
the

we
hope
that
the
applicant
continue
work
working
with
a

Morning,
mr.
chairman,
my
name
is
jealous
Tufano
and
a
resident
of
East
Boston
for
over
50
years.
Currently,
a
two
Swift
tyrant,
cities,
Boston
I'm,
involved
with
the
rotary,
the
Boys
&
Girls
homicide
community
center,
a
bunch
of
other
organizations
and
I,
can
tell
you
firsthand
that
mr.
Goldberg
has
refused
to
accept
any
acknowledgment
of
his
generous
contributions.
Also,
this
what
he
is
proposing
is
across
the
street
from
a
car
rental
across
the
street,
from
a
hill
diagonally
across
the
street
from
a
Starbucks
behind
all
of
these
are
either
more
hills.
AB
AC
Good
morning,
mr.
chairman,
my
name
is
Mira
Berninger
and
I
live
at
156,
st.
Anton
Road.
I
sat
on
the
I
AG
that
had
to
deal
with
the
construction
and
then
the
expansion
of
the
Hilton
Garden
Inn,
which
is
the
address
100
Gordon
Street
we
had
this
monopole
would
be
sited
during
that
process.
We
came
to
an
agreement
with
the
landowner,
mr.
Kerem,
that
can
not
be
any
high
signs
up
to
including
a
billboard,
because
we
recognize
that
it's
blight.
AC
We
recognize
the
city's
moratorium
because
it's
not
something
that
communities
want,
and
now
this
has
returned
to
the
community
in
a
very
very
in
a
way
that
we
only
heard
about
it
last
week.
So
there
is
no,
then
no
new
community
meeting.
It
was
withdrawn.
The
last
time
when
there
was
a
lot
of
opposition.
There
was
a
letter
that
you
received.
That
said,
the
Orion
Heights
neighborhood
group
supported
it
38
to
28.
AC
But
in
fact
the
meeting
where
that
vote
took
place
was
full
of
individuals
who
were
not
about
us
and
who
were
not
within
the
confines
of
the
bill
to
him
had
not
met
the
requisite
number
of
two
of
the
last
three
meetings
in
order
to
vote.
But
yet
there
was
a
lot
of
vocal
opposition
in
many
of
those
meetings.
So
putting
aside
mr.
AC
groberg's
our
largesse
for
the
community,
if
you
will
there's
a
process
here
and
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
if
the
I
AG's
are
not
going
to
be
recognized
as
having
valuable
input
into
a
process,
I'm
not
sure
what
that
does
without
a
lady
down
the
road
there's
an
auditorium
myself
and
others
who
can't
come
because
they
remain
there
at
work
of
caring
for
people
at
home
are
very
much
concerned
about
that.
As
are
other
neighborhoods
around
the
city.

the
neighbors
on

so
that
that's

Good

I'm
from

at
one

this

I'm.
Here

Armstrong
and
representatives
of
the
appellant
two
Lexington

Realty
Trust
to
Harvey,
Henry,
Harvey
and
Frank.
Harvey
and
I
should
note
that
the
toffee
family
have
owned
this
property
since
the
1940s
we're
here
today
to
request
some
relief
for
the
conversion
of
an
existing
commercial
building.
AD
This
is
a
three-story
commercial
building,
with
a
with
a
one-story
commercial
space
heading
up
the
hill
on
Lexington
Street.
Our
proposal
includes
a
two-story
addition
above
that
one-story
commercial
space,
which
basically
is
what
brings
us
to
the
rezoning
relief
that
we
need
we're
going
to
stay
within
the
existing
footprint
of
the
building
and
we're
just
gonna
bring
the
two-story
addition
up
to
the
height
of
the
rest
of
the
building
and
we're
gonna
add
a
roof
deck.
On
top
with
that
to
support
an
existing
head
house,
a
couple
notes
about
the
project.
AD
The
existing
line
is
20
150
square
feet
with
an
existing
living
area
of
4475

The

will
have

the
residential

putting
in
six
residential
units
that
will
range
from
460

feet
to
one
thousand
square
feet
and,
as
stated,
you
know,
we're
working
within
the
existing
footprint,
we're
going
to
rehab
the
existing
brick
facade
and
there's
just
the
two-story
addition
on
the
back
up
to
the
existing
roof
height,
the
relief
we're
seeking.

We
had

right,
who
is
the
proposed

and
Scott
chair
from
Chu

Company
is
the
project
architect.
Mr.
chairman,
this
property
is
located
on
Porter
Street,
which
is
the
lower
section
of
Eagle
Hill.
It's
a
pretty
industrialized
area,
but
as
a
recent
has
been
undergoing
a
transformation
and
emergence
as
a
popular
location
for
redevelopment
for
a
number
of
residential
and
mixed-use
projects.
AF
This
board
actually
just
heard
a
project
further
down
the
street
today
for
a
large
66
unit
project
that
doesn't
refuse
back
as
well
as
a
number
of
other
projects
leading
up
to
central
square
in
East
Boston.
The
current
use
of
this
site
is
a
auto
repair
facility
with
parking
parking
lot.
The
proposal
would
be
to
demolish
that
and
change
the
use
to
a
16
unit.
Residential
building
this
project
is
subject
are
debilitating
small
project
reviews
based
on
the
number
of
units
total
of
two
IDP
unit's
proposed
in
connection
with
this
project.
AF
We
did
appear
before
the
Boston
playing
a
development
agency.
This
past
Thursday,
which
approved
this
project.
We
did
have
an
opportunity
to
present
this
on
five
separate
occasions
to
the
community
three
times
to
the
Eagle
Hill
Civic
Association,
that
vote
in
support
of
this
project.
In
addition,
we
have
helped
the
putters
meeting,
as
well
as
the
required
article
eating
meeting
with
respect
to
the
project
itself.
As
I
said
it
16
units
total.
These
are
all
two
bedrooms
they're
intended
as
condominium
for
homeownership
there's
a
total
of
16
parking
spaces,
one
space
for
each
unit.
AF
We
have
contacts
and
I
provided
the
board
with
some
photos
of
the
surrounding
area.
There
are
a
number
of
multi
families
in
and
around
the
area,
including
the
short
plaza
housing
complex
located
directly
across
the
street,
which
sits
at
about
six
stories
on
the
waterfront.
There
are
number
of
other
multi
families
across
the
street
that
we've
used
and
approaching
the
design
for
this
site.
The
concerns
that
were
raised
in
the
community
that
we
think
we've
adequately
addressed
them.
The
Eagle
Civic
Association
raised
several
concerns
about
the
design.
AF
AF
H
AF
The
street
is
a
multi-family
I,
believe
it's
a
12
or
14
unit
building
that
sits
at
about
4
storeys,
with
an
exposed
foundation
a
little
bit
further
down
the
street
on
that
side
of
water.
Is
the
land
follow
West
apartments,
which
is
sits
at
4
storeys?
The
project
that
was
most
recently
approved
and
extras
before
board
final
hour
today
is
a
six
story
building
and
the
quarter
itself
is

We
have

neighborhood

and
there
was
one
person
that's
in
opposition
he's
here
today
there
were
questions
about
structure
of
whether
the
structure
would
support
it.
I
have
the
I
sent-
and
you
know
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
from
the
architect
and
from
the
structural
engineer
who
designed
the
project
indicating
that
that
was
not
an
issue
at
this
point
would
like
to
go
forward.
This
is
a
property
that
Jim
will
be
living

I'm
here
to
go

and
support
the

It
was
a
community
process
held
and
at
the
time
the
majority
of
the
abutting
properties
were
in
support
of
this
project.
However,
there
was
one
concern
about
the
center's
about
the
house.

Linda
the
owner
at

Pleasant

as
well,
and
we
opposed
to
this
proposed
project
in
many
ways.
So
we
think
that
this
project
will
compromise
the
structural
integrity
of
our
building.
These
two
buildings
that
were
built
as
one
structure
with
the

in

put

room
in
the
head
house
that
and
there's
no
firewall
separating
the
two
pieces
of
the
head
house.
That's
our
piece
in

the

also

Just

AK

my

time
they
put
in,
and
we
had
a
very
constructive
process
that
was
led
through
the
Neighborhood
Association
through
the
mayor's
office
Neighborhood
Services,
and
in
that
I
passed
out,
you'll
see
a
series
of
conditions
which
we've
agreed
to
and
we'd
like
to
make
part
of
the
decision.
If
it's
the
pleasure
of
the
board,
they
relate
to
how
our
open
space
program
will
minimize
any
impacts
on
Pete
Mac
Piedmont
Street.
AK
In
the
back,
we
originally
started
with
a
750
square
foot
open
space
program
which
would
actually
comply
with
the
allotment.
The
neighbors
wanted
us
to
reduce
that
and
so
you'll
see
on
the
plans
that
we've
broken
up
the
open
space
into
three
different
areas:
one
small
roof
deck
on
the
top
and
face
in
Arlington
Street
and
two
terraces
on
the
fourth.
AK
We
also
agreed
to
relocate
any
of
the
access
doors
and
buffer
that
open
space
so
that
it's
presents
it's
off
towards
the
front
and
doesn't
impact
Piedmont
Street
and
the
abutters
the
back.
So,
finally,
with
respect
to
the
maneuverability
variance,
0.7
is
the
requirement
per
unit
and
we
have
four
parking
spaces
through
an
elevated
parking
system.
So
we're
meeting
the
requirement
and
we
need
relief
because
we're
using
a
mechanical
system
for
parking
to
support
this
we're
going
through
an
existing
curb
cut
and
an
existing
opening
historic
neighborhood.
AK
The
curb
cut
that's
existing
is
off
Piedmont
Street,
it's
also
only
a
one-way
street
and
not
a
Main
Street.
So
the
new
probability
issue
is
you'd
have
to
back
out
right,
so
vehicles
who
come
in
to
ingress
would
come
in
Piedmont
pull
in,
and
the
elevated
system
takes
the
car
down
right.
So
the
maneuverability
impact
is
mostly
inside
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
exterior.
Get
your
car
and
say
leave
our
forces
are
all
stacked.
H
Q
M
Good
morning,
chairman
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
faced
a
shriek
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
I
held
an
abutters
meeting
for
this
project.
Back
in
the
summer,
there
were
three
main
issues
that
came
up,
one
of
them
being
the
roof
deck
the
mechanicals,
the
other
one
was
the
garage
and
the
new
virility
and
then
the
main
important
one
was
construction
management
on
this
project.
Since
then,
I
know
that
they
have
worked
diligently
with
the
abutters
and
also
the
Neighborhood
Association.
To
come
to
some
agreements.
M
There
is
a
five-page
memo,
I
believe
that
has
been
passed
out,
that
details.
All
of
that.
I
really
want
to
be
certain
that
those
end
up
as
provisos
specifically
around
those
three
main
issues,
and
that
the
applicants
continue
to
meet
with
the
neighborhood
around
construction
on
a
monthly
basis.
At
least
thank
you.
