From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeal Hearings 6-6-23 (Part 1 of 2)
Description
Part 2: https://youtu.be/q-R-fapsKZg
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.

Can

just
a
briefly
walk
us
through
the
request,
for
extension,.
C
J
Byron
and
the
address
that
I'm
asking
about
for
extension,
is
1102
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
to
1106
on
Cleveland
Avenue,
we're
asking
for
the
extension
to
continue
our
project
for
our
cannabis
retail
location
in
that
area.
J
Unfortunately,
the
process
took
a
little
bit
longer,
plus
we
were
in
the
beginning
of
covid,
also
so
we're
just
asking
it
to
see
if
we
can
get
an
extension
from
the
board.
Please.
C
C
K
L
D
The
next
case
is
basically
in
the
same
category,
this
being
case
boa.
D
C
It
looks
like
the
applicant
is
here:
Jessica
is
here:
does
he
need
to
be
raised
to
a
panelist
yeah
one.
O
C
P
Yep
William
Sheehy
here
for
22
Wordsworth
Street,
asking
the
board
of
promotion
for
an
extension
for
this
two
unit,
rehab
project
in
East,
Boston.
P
Just
Gathering
the
information
it's
taking
it
much
longer
than
anticipated,
mostly
information
that
is
needed
by
ISD
is
in
my
hands
and
just
waiting
for
essentially
one
document,
and
unfortunately,
time
ran
out
was
within
a
couple
weeks.
So
just
looking
for
roughly
a
three-month
extension,
that's
all
I
really
need.
L
M
C
I
D
Q
I
am
here
hi
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
For
the
record,
my
name
is
Adam
hungley
from
ghoulston
in
stores
at
400,
Atlantic
Avenue
I
am
the
attorney
for
the
owner.
The
owner
remains
very
committed
to
the
project
and
is
actively
working
on
the
project.
For
example,
we
finalize
article
80
documents
early
this
year
in
light
of
the
time
that
it's
taking
to
finalize
the
plans,
the
permitting
and
the
financing
arrangements
for
the
project
were
respectfully
requesting
a
one-year
extension
of
the
zoning
relief
for
the
two
buildings.
C
D
Next,
we
have,
as
earlier
a
case
of
the
day,
had
respired
this
being
case.
Boa.
D
R
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
Mr
secretary
members
of
the
board
attorney
Nick
sazulum
during
the
cruelty
Miller
28
State
Street
in
Boston
here
on
behalf
of
Jim
O'donoghue
from
Broadway
Land,
Company,
who's,
the
property
owner
and
a
developer,
requesting
a
one-year
extension
of
the
zoning
relief
granted
on
this
project.
The
project
was
to
construct
a
new
third
floor,
rear
infill
addition
to
an
existing
multi-family
Residential
Building,
as
Mr
secretary
mentioned.
This
is
the
first
requested
zoning
extension
for
this
matter.
R
Mr
o'donnelly
was
not
aware
of
the
expiration
date
in
January.
He
was
under
the
impression
that
the
covid-19
state
of
emergency
applied
to
his
zoning
relief,
as
the
project
was
heard
and
approved
during
the
state
of
emergency,
which
was
in
effect
till
June
15
2021,
and
this
was
approved
in
January,
29
2021.
So
right
during
you
know
during
the
middle
of
the
of
the
state
emergency.
R
R
The
one
thing
he's
working
on
is
just
final
bpda
design
review
stamped
plans,
as
required
under
the
zoning
decision,
provides
us
so
he's
ready,
willing
and
able
to
perform
on
the
on
the
approvals,
and
so
we
are
asking
for
a
one-year
extension,
I
guess
from
January
29
2023,
meaning
we
would
ask
for
the
extension
until
January
29
2024.
I'm
happy
to
go
into
more
detail
if
you'd
like
Madam
chair,
but
that's
the
rationale
behind
the
request.
Thank.
D
L
I
R
Thank
you
very
much
everybody
for
the
for
the
understanding
and
flexibility.
We
really
appreciate
it.
D
Norm,
okay,
this
is
case
boa
1066736.
D
R
Yes,
sir
sorry
Mr
Stembridge
for
stepping
on
you
I
thought
you
wanted
me
to
jump
in
attorney.
Nix
Azula,
dermaculty,
Miller
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
This.
R
Jim
O'donoghue
it's
right
nearby
at
one
to
two
Church
Avenue.
It's
it's
a
very
similar
situation.
Both
you
know
almost
companion
cases
where
this
is
just
a
conversion
of
an
occupancy
from
a
two-family
to
a
four
family,
with
a
small
addition
in
the
back,
and
this
expired
April,
23
2021.
So
a
little
bit
more
recently,
it's
the
same
same
Spiel
as
I
gave
before
I.
Don't
know
if
I
need
to
go
through
it.
R
R
Ma'am
yeah,
both
Yep
they're,
both
they're
they're,
literally
around
the
corner
from
each
other.
Similar
situations
he's
just
trying
to
get
to
that
final
process,
but
he
was
underneath
understanding
that
it
went
till
June,
15
2023,
which
is
why
we
were
a
little
behind
on
the
extension
request.
So
yeah
same
literally
the
same
thing
just
different
address.
L
M
M
C
M
D
R
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
nixes,
who
again
mcderm
equality,
Miller,
28,
State,
Street,
Suite
802
in
Boston
here
on
behalf
of
Dorchester
1175
LLC
as
the
owner
of
property.
This
is
different
than
the
first
two.
Thankfully,
this
is
requesting
a
one-year
extension
until
July,
9th
2024,
as
Mr
secretary
run
into
the
record.
It
is
the
first
zoning
extension.
There
are
just
a
few
remaining
post
approval
actions
that
need
to
be
handled
with
other
City
agencies
in
order
for
the
project
to
obtain
a
building
permanently
with
ISD.
R
K
M
D
And
for
the
last
extension
this
this
will
be
a
different
from
the
rest.
This
being
case,
boa
1156565.
D
K
N
I,
don't
see
the
name
of
the
attendee
section.
C
Okay:
okay,
well,
may
I
have
a
motion
to
either
withdraw,
approve
or
not
approve
the
withdrawal
request.
F
K
L
M
N
No,
please
see
a
hand
raise
one.
Second
Mitchell
had
I
just
sent
a
request
on
new
you
yep.
U
Good
morning,
thanks
for
having
the
hearing
we're
basically
trying
to
this,
this
had
a
contingency
of
of
no
Sundays
on
this
application
and
we
were
hoping
that
could
be
reviewed.
We
are
we're
in
the
process
of
building
right
now,
still
the
we're
finally
making
some
good
Headway
on
the
space
when
this
was
issued.
There
was
you
know
not
that
much
experience
with
cannabis
facilities
being
opened
and
now
I
feel.
Like
we've,
we've
seen
a
lot
of
experience.
U
We
have
a
lot
more
open
and,
as
far
as
I
know,
this
would
be
the
only
locations
that
wouldn't
be
allowed
to
be
open.
Sundays.
This
spot
is,
you
know:
Sundays
represent
probably
like
the
fourth
fourth
busiest
day
of
the
week,
so
it
can
be
kind
of
a
financial
hardship
there
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
that
decision
could
be
Revisited
or
if
I
think
that
the
application
said
it
would
be
Revisited
in
one
year
after
we
opened,
or
we
could
somehow
extradite
that
or
or
eliminate
it.
That
would
be.
C
U
We
have
not
been
open,
we
are
not
open.
We
are
in
the
process
of
building
we
right
now.
We
we
anticipate
being
done
with
construction
in
in
July
and
hope
to
get
our
certificate
of
occupancy
there.
There
there
still
will
be
another-
probably
four,
four
to
five
month
process
with
the
state
after
that,
so
we
hope
to
be
open
by
the
end
of
the
year
I'm.
U
You
know
I'm
sort
of
basing
this
on
on
the
fact
that
you
know
I
believe
this
is
the
only
location
in
Boston
that
wouldn't
be
allowed
to
be
open,
Sundays
and
I'm.
You
know
we're
just
hoping
that
the
board
take
a
look
at
that
and
see
I,
don't
know
if
we've,
if
we've
seen
a
lot
of
you,
know
problems
with
places
being
open
on
Sundays,
but.
C
I
think
you
haven't
opened
yet
and
I
none
of
us
were
present
when
this
was
approved,
so
we
don't
have
the
benefit
of
the
community's
feedback
around.
That.
G
Madam
chair
I've
reviewed
the
okay,
the
drawings
and
I
actually
was
present
for
that.
Oh
okay
could
I
hear
him,
but
the
question
I'm
not
sure
if
you're
opening
up
for
questions
from
the
board
member
yet
happy
to
do
so.
The
only
question
I
have
is:
what
were
you
looking
for
in
terms
of
hours
of
operation
on
Sunday
on.
U
Sundays,
we
would
probably
do
like
a
12
to
8,
where
I
mean
I'm
happy
to
work
with
whatever
the
board
sees
fit.
But
we
would,
we
would
be
closing
a
little
bit
earlier,
either
12
to
7
or
12
to
8..
Okay,.
G
All
right,
no
further
questions.
C
Could
I
ask
a
question
of
humans
since
you
were
present
for
this
I
mean
I
guess
my
question
would
be
whether
you
know
what
the
community
feedback
was
around
that
since
it
looks
like
in
a
butts,
you
know
a
park
and
obviously
it's
you
know
residential
surrounding
it.
So
I
don't
know
if
there
was
yeah.
G
If
the
applicant
stating
that
it
would
be
the
only
operation
that
was
that
is
not
open
on
Sundays
I
can
see
why
they're
appearing
in
front
of
us
today
there
is
a
park
nearby.
So
maybe
there
were
some
concerns
with
family
activities
across
the
site,
but
I
don't
find
a
request
being
out
of
the
ordinary
it.
N
U
Any
other
questions
like
at
that
time:
I
we
didn't
have
feedback
from
the
community
that
was
against
it.
That
was
strictly
something
just
sort
of
brought
up
by
the
board
at
the
time,
and
so
that's
that's
sort
of
why
we're
here
trying
to
revisit
it
as
well.
C
Okay
Javier:
does
this
require
opening
up
to
public
testimony,
or
is
this.
G
Madam
chair
put
for
a
motion
to
remove
the
Proviso
of
the
Sunday
operation
and
to
have
the
average
operation
from
12
to
7..
C
L
C
M
V
Yes,
Mr
stanbury's
good
morning
attorney
Joseph
Easter
should
I
receive
Madam
chair.
Yes,
sir.
Please
do
yes.
Good
morning,
Madam
chair,
Mr,
stanbridge,
Mr
secretary
members
of
the
board,
Joseph
feaster
and
the
law
firm
of
Dean
torpey,
175,
Federal,
Street
Suite
1500
in
Boston.
V
This
may
be
considered
by
the
board,
as
the
unusual
request,
but
I
I
think
not
and
I.
Think
it's
important
to
bring
this
issue
before
the
board.
Seeking
almost
similar
to
the
previous
applicant,
would
have
bought
final
arbiter,
the
removal
of
a
Proviso,
in
our
case,
it's
a
Proviso
that
is
no
living
space
in
the
basement
and
the
reason
why
I'll
go
through
a
history
of
this
and
David
freed.
The
architect
is
on
that.
V
The
board
requires
not
a
chair
additional
design,
type
information-
that's
not
my
baliwick,
so
I
will
leave
it
to
a
architect
free.
But
the
reason
why
I'm,
bringing
this
request
before
the
board
once
again,
is
that
it
seems
to
be
in
conflict
with
the
desires
of
the
neighborhood,
some
of
the
city
of
Boston's
Housing
Authority
policy
such
as
the
additional
growing
unit
issues
policy
that
the
city
has
put
into
effect
and
some
neighboring
decisions.
V
V
This
project
has
had
community
support
from
the
outset.
The
original
submission
was
sometime
back
in
2021,
and
that
was
at
that
time
the
project
was
designed
with
basement
with
bedrooms
in
the
basement.
The
board
rejected
that
proposal,
and,
and
so
the
developer
came
back,
my
client
came
back
with
another
design
which
we
moved
the
basement
bedrooms
and
just
saw
it
to
have
moved
it
up
to
the
first
floor
and
then
sorted
to
just
have
living
space
in
the
in
the
lower
level.
V
You
know
consistent
with
many
buildings
in
the
city
of
Boston
many
buildings
which
are
being
developed
and
designed
and
supported
by
this
board
in
the
immediate
area
and
with
my
submission
for
the
board.
Final
auditor
I
refer
to
buildings
at
109,
Ellington
Street
and
at
10,
Walcott
Street
now
I
know
that
having
served
on
the
board
I
know,
opposition
of
the
board
is
that
is
not
any
decisions,
not
presidential
to
the
one
that's
before
you,
but
I
would
like
the
board
to
take
that
into
account.
V
As
I
pointed
out,
this
has
been
supported
by
the
neighborhood
throughout
the
entire
process
to
your
letters
from
the
community
organizations
that
exist
there
and,
quite
frankly,
this
proposal
that
that
languages
remains
not
only
does
it
deny
the
my
client
of
being
able
to
provide
to
these
homeowners
the
ability
to
use
their
living
space
in
the
lower
level,
but
as
well,
almost
makes
the
units
of
non-marketable.
So
that's
the
basis
for
my
request
that
the
board
would
eliminate
the
supervisor
of
no
living
space
in
the
basement
I'm.
V
Looking
at
trying
to
do
bedrooms
that
was
denied
in
the
first
case.
That
is
not
what
we're
proposing
here.
If
there
are
specific
questions
on
the
design
issues
Madam
chair
I
would
ask
for
you
to
allow
David
fried
to
respond
to
me.
G
I
I
I
had
an
opportunity
to
review
the
documents,
and
so
right
now
it
is
a
3F
5000,
and
currently
you
have
a
a
three
unit
correct
and
you
like
to
make
it
a
four
unit
with.
If
the
basement
is
habitable,
can
you
can
you
clarify
that.
V
Is
he
just
needs?
Your
beauty
he's
he's
the
one
as
a
panelist.
W
Yes,
this
is
David
freed,
I'm,
an
architect
at
chewing
company.
The
original
design
was
four
units,
all
of
which
are
duplexed
units
and
at
the
the
approval
from
the
board
of
the
project.
They
they
eliminated
the
living
space
in
the
basement.
So
we
ended
up
with
two
duplex
units
and
two
small
floor
through
units
on
the
first
floor
with
just
a
empty
living
space
in
the
basement.
So.
G
How
many
units?
Oh
still,
four
units,
four
units,
so
so
right
now
it's
a
three
F,
five
thousand,
but
you're
getting
four
units
out
of
it
without
the
basement.
Yes,
okay,
so
you
are
maximizing
the
use
of
the
land.
It's
not
that
it's
a
hardship
because
we
eliminated
the
basement
originally.
W
They
just
end
up
being
very,
very
small
units.
G
Okay,
so
then
the
other
question
is
the
basement,
as
you
propose
does
meet
the
45
inch
Max
height,
correct.
Yes,.
G
G
W
I
I,
don't
recall
that
our
our
drawings
say
eight
feet:
okay
and
we've
always
had
we
always
we
we
calculate
if
you
count
the
number
of
risers
it's
based
on
an
eight
foot
ceiling
height,
okay,.
G
And
then
it
has
two
means
of
egress
right,
one
going
to
the
top
unit
and
one
to
the
back.
Yes,
one
has
a
direct
egress
outside
and
then
the
other
one
is
going
to
the
first
floor
unit.
Correct
and
internal
stairs.
W
We
both
actually
have
egress
directly
outside
from
the
from
the
guard
level,
is
what
was
egress
up
to
the
first
floor.
So
I'd
say
this.
V
If
I
might
enter
just
as
attorney
fees,
seemingly
maybe
we
need
to
submit
updated
plans
because
it
sounds
like
what
you
may
be
looking
at
is
not
consistent
with
what
we
have
submitted
and,
what's
being
considered
so
I
sound
like
that,
might
be
the
confusion.
Okay,.
T
T
You
know
going
through
the
notes
of
the
hearing
that,
because
it
was
new
construction,
I
think
that's
why
they
were
really
against
the
living
space
in
the
basement.
X
W
You'll
see
him
so
the
basement
would
be
used
as
the
the
kitchen
living
dining
area
and
the
the
bedrooms
have
been
moved
up
to
the
first
floor.
X
G
So
Madam
chair,
I,
don't
have
those
drawings
that
show
kitchen
on
the
ground
floor
and
then
I
would
like
to
hear
from
Josh.
What's
his
what's
the
bpd8's
opinion
and
having
kitchen
living
space
in
the
basement
and
then
putting
bedrooms
at
the
top
well,.
T
The
the
last
iteration
of
the
board
was
always
the
basement.
T
The
other
where
they
are
but
I
have
a
question
for
the
attorney
fees.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
when
you're
having
this
word
a
pass.
I
assume
you
already
received
zoning
reliever
Fai
effect.
V
The
whatever
test
of
the
answer
to
that
particular
question:
yes,.
Y
V
V
V
Would
also
further
another
violation.
So
yes,
so
they
answer.
Your
question
specifically
yes,
far
was
was
allowed
and
prevented
by
the
board
in
this
previous
vote.
W
C
Okay
hearing
none
may
I
have
a
motion.
G
Madam
chair
I
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
with
to
Proviso
one
that
the
drawings
be
submitted
to
the
board
the
correct
drawings
and
that
that
it's
approved
without
a
building
code
relief.
C
Okay
may
I
have
a
second.
G
C
L
Z
Morning,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Carmen
barcelmy
and
Dietrich
I'm,
a
resident
at
60
Alvin
Street
presenting
for
60
R
Alden,
we're
asking
for
your
approval
on
four
amendments
to
our
original
construction
plan
at
60
R
Alban,
which
the
bpda
has
previously
approved
and
stamped
the
changes
are
as
following.
First,
in
order
to
support
our
aging
family,
my
parents
and
grandparents,
we
have
amended
the
plans
from
a
two-car
garage
to
a
one-car
garage
in
order
to
provide
a
bedroom
and
a
full
bathroom.
Z
Z
Second,
we
have
amended
the
plans
to
include
the
full
bathroom
on
the
first
floor.
We
have
thus
reduced
from
a
two
and
a
half
bath
to
two
full
baths
with
one
on
each
floor.
Z
Third,
while
there's
an
apparent
increase
in
living
space
compared
to
our
previous
proposal
by
taking
over
the
one
garage
Bay,
the
overall
living
space
has
actually
decreased
according
to
the
initial
sketches,
as
they
did
not
account
for
the
wall
thickness
of
the
ICF
that
we
are
using.
It's
a
total
of
about
12
inches
thick.
Once
you
take
into
account
the
11
inch
block
and
the
sheathing
recalculating
to
account
for
the
thicker
ICF
walls.
We
find
that
we
have
a
lower
square
footage
than
the
original
1
396
that
we
had
submitted.
Z
We
now
have
1
367
square
feet
of
living
space
and
force.
We
have
also
considered
the
size
and
the
living
space
and
it
decided
to
adjust
the
roof
line
from
an
A-frame
to
a
modified
hip
Dormer
on
the
east
and
west
side,
specifically
so
that
there
will
be
more
head
run
in
the
offices
and
laundry
space
upstairs
respectively.
Z
Please
note
that
the
inspection
engineer
Vernon
Lee
at
inspectional
Services
has
confirmed
and
there
are
no
additional
violations.
The
dimensions
and
basic
design,
including
footprint
setbacks
and
roof
Heights,
remain
the
same
as
our
initial
drawings,
and
we
also
have
our
architect
Neil
Pyatt,
on
the
line.
If
there
are
any
technical
questions.
Thank
you.
G
G
AA
Hello
board:
my
name
is
Neil
Pyatt.
Can
everyone
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
sir?
Okay,
okay,
great,
so
the
previous
construction
at
the
ground
floor
only
was
assuming
two
by
six
framed
walls.
Yeah.
AA
A
E
T
G
T
G
G
Sure
motion
of
approval
with
BT
bpda
design
review
second
may.
A
L
C
L
M
C
Z
You
can
apologize,
can
you
just
clarify
what
you
meant
with
the
bpda
design
review.
Z
F
D
Okay,
that
we
we
have
one
round:
weather
conservation,
Overlake
District
cases
being
case
boa
146.
AC
But
I'm
chair
members
of
the
board.
This
is
a
conversion
from
a
legend
house
to
a
fur
dwelling
unit.
The
only
population
we
have
is
the
G
chord
article
32.
We
have
obtained
approval
from
Boston
Water
and
Sewer.
We
have
a
letter
of
the
hall
from
bgt
and
Associates
engineers
and
we
have
also
a
letter
of
compliance
issued
by
the
Boston
Water
consumer.
AD
C
AD
A
M
AC
C
D
Before
we
go
into
the
hearings
schedule
for
9
30
A.M,
we'll
ask
if
there
are.
AE
N
Probably
not
tell
me,
the
weather,
Andrea
has
a
question
for
something
else.
AG
Yes,
Mr
secretary
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adams
and
Morenci
business
address,
168,
Main,

South
Boston
first
floor
with
me
today
is
the
applicant
Nick
Beijing
from
Alpha
Properties,
as
well
as
James
Christopher
from
686
Architects.
This
proposal
seeks
to
subdivide
the
existing
55
584
square
foot
lot
at
120,
Madison
Street,
creating
two
lots.
If
I
can
direct
your
attention
to
page
two
and
three
of
the
drawings
block,
a
located
on
120
Babson
Street
will
consist
of
approximately
43
704
square
feet
in
Lot.
AG
B
will
be
43
through
47
Fremont
Street.
That
will
consist
of
12
150
square
feet,
which
will
include
the
direction
of
The
Proposal
of
10
new
residential
dwelling
units
with
nine
off-street
parking
spaces.
The
building
will
be
all
electric
compliance
of
the
stretch
code
and
fully
sprinkles.
It
will
also
be
equipped
with
an
elevator
for
accessibility.
Two
of
those
units
will
be
offered
as
affordable
units
to
comply
with
the
mayor's
affordable
housing
initiative
at
20
affordability.
All
units
will
be
owner.
Occupied
The
Proposal
is
located
within
a
true
F
6
000
sub
District.
AG
AG
AG
Second
floor
will
consist
of
one
Studio
one
bedroom
and
four
two
bedroom
units
each
unit
will
have
balcony
set
within
the
building
as
well.
Third
floor
will
be
set
back
from
the
front
and
rear
which
will
consist
of
two
one
bedrooms.
Both
units
will
have
a
small
walkout
deck
area.
The
applicant
is
here
seeking
relief
for
use
as
multi-family
use
is
forbidden.
Our
street
parking
one
space
per
unit
is
required
by
code
and
we
are
only
proposing
nine
spaces.
We
have
a
violation
for
the
four
area
ratio.
0.8
is
what
is
required.
AG
We
are
actually
seeking
a
0.95
and
just
to
bring
to
your
attention
within
news.
There
was
an
administrative
error
in
the
drawing
sustaining.
9.5
and
again,
we
are
seeking
0.95,
Building
height
is
excessive
in
both
height
and
stories,
proposal,
calls
from
37
feet
and
three
stories
and
what
is
compliant
is
35
feet
and
two
and
a
half
stories.
And
lastly,
we
have
a
violation
for
in
space,
we're
required
to
provide
8
000
square
feet,
and
the
proposal
provides
5873
square
feet
at
this
time.
AG
AG
So,
with
with
this
being
ownership,
so
the
income
levels
are
for
the
Amis
are
approximately
anywhere
from
80
to
100
Ami.
AH
S
AH
Hear
me
everything
good.
Yes,
sir,
all
right!
Thank
you.
Oh
all,
right
so
I'll
complete
the
butters
meeting
on
April
18
2023.
They
also
met
with
the
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
Council,
who
chose
to
recommend
the
following
Provisions.
They
stated
that
they
want
to
reduce
the
number
of
units
from
10
to
6,
to
address
the
density
issues
and
to
preserve
the
open
space.
So
as
of
now,
our
office
has
received
no
letters
of
support
or
opposition
to
this
project,
and
we
are
looking
to
defer
our
adjustment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
AG
Madam
chair,
if
I
could
just
just
respond
to
Mr
James's
comments,
which
in
fact
I'm
sure
Mr
secretary
can
attest
to
this.
There
were
approximately
40
letters
of
support
from
a
meeting
director,
Butters
and
neighbors
that
were
submitted
as
well.
Those
were
also
given
to
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
as
well
as
the
great
apparent
manapan
neighborhood
Council.
G
Madam
chair
I'd
like
to
perform
a
motion
of
approval
with
provisils
that
one
the
plan
undergoes
bpda
design
review,
paying
special
attention
to
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
on
the
exterior
and
two
that
it
has
an
agreement
be
issued
by
moh
prior
to
issuing.
Permit
may
I
have
a
second,
oh
I'm.
Sorry
I
need
to
make
ensure
that
there's
two
IDP
units
with
the
nmoh
agreement.
Yes,
okay,.
M
C
I
K
K
This
is
a
conversion
of
a
one
family
to
a
two
family,
so
we're
adding
an
addition
to
the
to
the
to
the
existing
house
that
is
located
on
on
a
corner
lock,
and
it
has
a
full
basement
with
bedrooms
at
the
lower
basement
and
living
space.
At
the
first
floor,
bedrooms
at
the
second
level
and
a
master
bedroom
at
the
attic
level.
K
And
we're
asking
for
relief
or
or
one
converting
it
from
one
family
to
a
two
family.
G
T
Yep
yeah,
my
apologies
in
this
bed
of
Barraza
on
this
I.
Don't
know
why
I
didn't
make
it
over
to
you.
We
recommended
approval
with
Proviso
that
we
increase
the
rear
into
the
backyard
setbacks,
as
well
as
consolidating
the
parking
spaces
and
to
show
that
reduces
the
the
impervious
payment
and
maneuverability.
G
AK
D
From
yes,
please
phone
number
too
many
spaces
in
the
front
yard
for
a
question
on
okay.
C
I
think
that
is
addressed
by
Mr
Hampton's
recommendation,
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
AL
Good
morning,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
this
is
Danielle
fonsejo,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
applicant
completed
the
community
process
and
presented
their
proposed
development
for
50
Belmont
Road
to
the
Bell
now
Family,
neighborhood
association
and
Neighbors
in
the
area
and
in
a
Butters
meeting
that
I
hosted
on
February
15th.
They
also
met
with
the
Belmont
family,
neighborhood
association
at
another
community
meeting
and
during
both
processes
they
answered
questions
from
Neighbors
and
the
direct
abutters.
AL
The
Bell,
now
neighborhood
association
hasn't
received
any
opposition
to
this
proposal
from
the
community
that
they
cover
and
they
only
request
that
the
the
Redevelopment
project
takes
place
during
permitted
times
between
7
A.M
and
6
p.m,
and
that
all
the
Contracting
equipment
and
materials
are
stored
in
parked
legally
within
the
construction
site.
We've
received
no
opposition
or
additional
letters
of
support
for
this
project,
and
at
this
time
we
wish
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
just
to
for
the
applicant.
Can
you
confirm
that
you
can
comply
with
those
requests
from
the
neighborhood
association,
the
7
A.M
to
6
p.m,
and
the
construction
equipment
within
your
property?
Yes,.
K
C
Thank
you
would
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
G
Madam
chair
I'd
like
to
perform
a
motion
of
approval
with
provisions.
One
is
to
have
a
site
plan
review
with
bpda
to
determine
the
location
of
the
addition
to
increase
rear
yard
and
side
yard
setback
and
to
consolidate
the
parking
so
that
there
be
no
Frontier
parking
to
the
property.
C
Okay
may
I
have
a
second.
X
K
L
M
D
Y
This
is
Mike
Ross,
who
are
from
a
principle
Bell
I'm
here
with
my
client
Melissa
Rosales,
who
is
an
owner
occupant
of
this
existing
two
family
building
at
eight
Knight
Street,
where
she
lives
with
her
family
and
I'm,
also
here
with
Benjamin
Lee
the
architect,
for
the
proposal
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
today
is
add
a
three
family
structure
onto
the
existing
oversized
lot
that
you
see
here
in
front
of
you
just
seventeen
thousand
322
square
feet
without
having
to
demolish
this
19
early
1900s
to
family
structure.
Y
So
you
know
as
you
as
you
know,
this
is
a
2f
5000.
So
each
lot
could
work
with
a
five
thousand
square
foot
lot.
You
could
do
here
three
five,
thousands
within
that
seventeen
thousand
to
get
six
units
that
what
we're
proposing
is
to
add
to
the
existing
two
units,
a
three
family.
So
you
would,
we
would
have
a
total
of
five
units.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
can
show
you
what
the
division
of
the
lot
looks
like
so
keeping
the
existing
structure
where
it
is.
Y
Eight
nine
Street:
we
would
just
be
demolishing
that
rear
deck
there
we
would
be
able
to
fit
a
new
three
family
structure
called
10
night
Street
off
there
on
the
on
the
right
side
of
the
lot.
Also
using
the
existing
curb
cuts
that
are
on
both
Reedville
and
on
Knight
Street.
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
Y
And
here
this
is
a
good
way
of
showing
you
kind
of
the
parking
layout,
so
there
would
be
a
total
of
five
Park
five
units
like
I
mentioned.
Zoning
requires
two
units
per
sorry
two-partum
spaces
per
unit,
so
that
would
be
ten.
We
do
show
10
parking
spaces
here,
eight
off
the
rear
of
the
property
there
and
then
two
in
the
front
yard.
Y
We
kept
the
two
in
the
front
yard
of
Knight
Street
there,
because
that
is
an
existing
curb
cut
with
a
a
nice
stone
wall
that
I'll
show
you
in
a
moment.
Y
You
know
recognizing
that
that
does
throw
off
a
violation
and
I'll
get
into
the
violations
in
a
moment
and
because
those
two
spaces
are
tandem,
it
doesn't
give
us
the
the
10
by
zoning,
so
we
were
cited
by
for
for
just
only
having
nine
instead
of
ten
parking
spaces
and
I'll
get
into
the
violations
in
a
moment.
I
just
want
to
quickly
walk
you
through
that.
The.
AM
W
Y
So
here's
just
the
floor
plans.
You
know
the
left
is
the
basement.
Basement
is
not
allowed
in
a
in
this
zoning
district
and
then
on.
The
right
is
the
first
floor
and
what
you
have
is
a
three
bedroom
one
bath
1200
square
foot
unit,
and
that
would
be
unit
number
one
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide
on
the
second
and
third
floor,
the
second
floor,
you
also
have
a
three
bedroom,
one
bath
twelve
hundred
square
foot
unit
on
the
second
floor
and
then
on
the
third
floor.
Y
It's
a
bit
smaller
because
you
know
the
building,
tapers
and
Dormers
at
the
top,
and
so
that's
also
a
three
bedroom
one
bath.
But
it
has
a
it's
only
1075
square
feet.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
I'll
just
show
you
the
elevations
quickly,
so
you
know,
as
you
can
see,
it's
in
a
typical
architecture
of
the
area
with
a
I'm
protruding
Bay,
the
first,
the
second
and
third
units
both
have
a
front
and
rear
small
porch
area,
and
then
you
kind
of
have
the
Dormer
top.
Y
As
mentioned
next
slide,
please,
this
is
just
an
existing
condition
photo
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
that
stone
wall.
This
is
a
long
night
Street,
where
eight
Knight
Street
currently
faces
and
then
to
the
right
of
eight
Ninth
Street.
Is
that
existing
curb
cut
that
I
mentioned
off
of
Knight
Street
and
that's
where
we
would
be
proposing
the
three
family
structure
would
go
right.
Y
There
I
think
if
you
just
want
to
Pivot
back
to
to
the
second
slide,
I
can
walk
you
through
the
zoning
relief,
we're
seeking
and
the
second.
This
is
a
good
slide
to
do
it
on
I
did
want
to
mention
that
no
trees
will
come
down
as
a
result
of
this,
there
will
be
25
plantings
around
the
immediate
area
after
construction
is
completed
in
terms
of
the
zoning
relief.
Eight
Ninth
Street
because
we
are
adjusting
creating
a
new
property
line
between
eight
and
nine
I
mean
eight
and
ten.
Y
Y
Today,
we're
not
we're
not
adding
a
square
foot
to
the
rear
yard,
so
I'm
not
sure
they
necessarily
have
to
cite
us
on
that,
but
they
did
so
that's
in
relationship
to
10
I
mean
eight
Ninth
Street
in
relationship
to
10,
which
is
the
proposed
three
family
we're
talking
about.
There
were
several
violations:
I'll
quickly,
walk
through
them,
the
parking
in
the
front,
because
it's
within
five
feet
of
the
front
we
recited
article
10
section
one.
We
were
also
cited
for
parking.
Y
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
nines
to
ten
parking
spaces,
we
were
citing
for
building
alignment
Conformity.
We
were
cited
for
allowing
parking
to
go
through
another
lot
to
get
to
for
the
three
family,
so
accessory
parking
is
now
allowed
to
Traverse
through
eight
Ninth
Street,
and
that's
where
cited
for
that.
We
were
cited
for
parking
in
the
front
of
the
lot
which
I
mentioned
earlier
on
9th
Street
and
the
use.
This
is
a
three
family
and
it's
in
a
2f
district,
the
they
say
us
for
a
lot
insufficient.
Y
Y
I'll
point
out
that
the
eight
Ninth
Street
far
is
around
a
quarter
0.25
thereabouts.
So
if
you
average
to
that,
we
would
actually
be
right
there.
But
of
course
that's
that's
not
the
case.
We're
dividing
a
lot
so
we're
at
a
0.73
as
I
mentioned.
The
building
height
in
this
area
is
two
and
a
half
stories
and
we're
at
probably
two
and
three
quarter.
Stories
We
exceed
the
half
story,
and
so
we
were
cited
for
that
usable
open
space
on
the
10th.
Y
Street
lot
requires
seven
one:
seven,
five,
zero
per
unit,
we're
at
one
three:
zero,
zero
per
unit
and
then
finally,
also
likewise
the
side
yard
we're
at
a
6.28
and
a
13
when
10
is
required
on
both
sides.
I'll
pause
there
amount
of
insurance.
Is
there
any
questions.
T
C
Okay
and
Mr
Stembridge
did
Mr
D'amico
also
weigh
in
on
that.
AN
AN
Members
of
the
board
Bob,
the
bank
TV
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
see
two
two
spaces
in
the
front
yard
be
removed
the
two
spaces,
people
that
I
don't
know
where
that
comes
from,
but
historic
purposes.
We
always
go
with
the
most
1.5
spaces
per
unit
that
was
our
maximum
and
secondly,
if
I
could
look
at
the
slide,
is
the
garage
going
to
be
demolished.
AN
Okay,
that's
about
it.
I
I,
just
recommend
a
two
front
yard
parking
spaces
be
removed
because
it
was
set
a
dangerous
precedent.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Okay,.
G
Madam
chair,
this
is
just
an
observation.
I
find
that
there's
an
extraordinary
amount
of
impervious
surface
and
I
would
almost
recommend
that
the
applicant
really
removes
that
impervious
surface
and
gives
it
back
to
open
Green
Space.
Can
you
just
clarify
how
wide
is
that
curb
cut
on
Greenville.
Y
I
may
ask
you
to
go
to
Madame
Ambassador
the
first
slide,
because
I'm
hoping
we
put
a
measurement,
we
don't
have
a
measurement
there.
It
does
look.
Y
We're
going
with
existing
what's
there,
but
we
certainly
can
you
know,
reduce
it
to
a
tenth
with
driveway.
If
that's.
AL
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Danielle
Fonseca,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
the
applicants
to
complete
the
community
process
and
I
hosted
in
a
Butters
meeting
for
this
proposal
on
December
14th.
They
also
met
with
the
Hyde
Park
neighborhood
association
and
the
applicant
herself
back
in
July,
connected
with
that
neighborhood
group
before
they
started
their
Community
process
and
then
again
after
the
abutters
meeting
with
that
group
in
January.
AL
The
Hyde
Park
neighborhood
association
has
decided
to
submit
testimony
in
non-opposition
which
has
been
sent
to
the
board
and
they
are
just
hoping
that
the
new
structure
will
be
built
as
attractive
as
instructor
for
eight
night
Street
currently
is,
and
at
this
time
we've
receive
no
additional
letters
of
support
our
opposition.
So
we
do
wish
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
AL
AO
AO
X
I
E
C
D
Thanks,
we
have
two
two
more
companion
cases.
First
being
case,
boa
1444614.
AJ
So
today's
proposal
and
I
apologize
I
had
a
different
presentation.
I
can
provide,
but
this
is
the
proposed
plan
would
be
to
increase
the
driveway
space
and
parking
from
currently
or
any
existing
two
spaces
that
exist
in
a
standard
driveway
to
expand
the
driveway
to
the
rear
of
the
boat
buildings
and
increased
a
total
of
four
parking
spaces
have
both
buildings
87
and
91
respectively.
Both
have
fully
approved
long-form
permits
or
a
full
demo
I'm
sorry,
full
gut
construction,
which
is
near
incompletion.
AJ
Currently,
we've
also
had
several
Community
hearings
and
received
support
from
the
community
as
there's
a
significantly
limited
parking
on
Park
and
Road
in
Jamaica
Plain.
We
do
plan
on
relocating
the
curb
cut
to
be
centered
on
the
driveway
between
the
two
buildings.
Currently,
there
is
an
existing
curb
cut,
but
it's
offset
that
submission
is
in
its
final
Sage
approval
waiting
for
the
last
signature,
which
we
expect
to
have
by
the
end
of
this
month,
be
open
to
any
questions
and
appreciate
today's
session.
AJ
New
correct,
there's,
there's
an
easy
room
to
properties
and
I
apologize,
I
didn't
mention.
We
also
have
fully
improved
plans
from
bwsc
for
both
properties
for
water,
infill
and
mitigation,
as
well
as
submitted
plans
and
approved
permits
to
be
able
to
do
all
the
direct
connections
to
the
drainage,
Alliance
little
Street
and
deal
with
any
runoff.
H
But
I'm
sure
I
have
a
question
for
the
applicant.
Why
is
there
additional
Paving
Beyond
the
parking
spaces
so
like
between
the
property
line
and
the
parking.
AJ
H
AJ
Those
are
both
added
just
for
mobility
in
the
space
behind
the
buildings,
there
is
adequate
space
for
two
cars
per
side,
however,
with
especially
with
the
utility
pole,
that's
in
the
middle
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
cars
can
navigate
around
the
corner
of
both
buildings
safely
was
a
concern,
so
we
made
sure
that
we
asphalt
into
space
both
for
that
perspective
and
from
a
maintenance
perspective
trying
to
make
sure
that
for
the
future
owners,
it
was,
you
know,
more
straightforward
for
them
to
manage
through
the
winter
time
period.
AK
H
AK
G
The
board
I
would
like
to
hear
about
demikio's
recommendation
on
the
aisle
and
park
to
layout.
AN
Yes,
Madam
Chairman's
of
the
board
above
the
Amigo
BTD,
the
driveway
is
10
foot
wide,
assuming
that
they
get
permission
to
use
the
property
on
the
other
side
of
the
current
building.
AN
G
I
was
just
gonna
say
like:
why
is
this
needed
now
and
how
do
you
usually
park
your
cars
for
the
two
properties.
AJ
So
just
to
clarify
and
apologies
that
there
was
I
guess
additional
sheets
in
this
presentation
to
show
the
existing.
The
existing
has
two
10
spaces
directly
abutting
the
street
coming
in
towards
the
center
of
the
two
properties,
and
then
it
stops.
So
there
is.
There
was
historically
two
two
parking
spaces
in
that
location
as
we
take
an
ownership
of
the
buildings
and
and
a.
AJ
Updating
their
renovation
trying
to
increase
parking
off
Street
on
Parkin,
because
there
there
is
not
available
on
street
parking
to
be
able
to
place
any
of
the
tens
when
we
have
not
increased
the
number
of
bedroom
number
of
units
or
anything
about
the
volume
of
dwelling.
G
AJ
So
we
had
researched
that
and
the
feedback
from
several
different
installers
was
that
the
maintenance
concerned,
especially
with
the
winters
and
the
slope
of
the
property,
is
that
it
would
become
extremely
challenging
expensive
for
the
future
owners
to
be
able
to
manage
that
through
the
winter
time.
So
it
was
their
recommendation
that
we
go
with
impervious,
and
that
was
how
bwsc
had
reviewed
and
approved
the
plans
for
all
of
the
water
runoff
and
sizing.
AJ
G
AP
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
Neighborhood
Services
inside
the
mayor's
office,
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
Our
office
Helena
Butters
meeting
on
March
22nd
of
2023,
the
applicant
then
went
on
to
meet
with
the
JP
NC,
which
approved
this
proposal
on
April
12th.
Our
office
has
received
no
letters
of
opposition
at
this
time.
With
that
we'll
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
C
AP
G
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
the
following
provisos
that
the
plans
undergo.
Actually
we
already
got
the
feedback
from
Tamiko.
So
I'll
just
have
a
motion
of
approval,
with
a
price
of
bpda
design,
review
of
attention
to
the
site
plan
to
increase
open
space
and
reduce
impervious
surface

stream
level
of
this
single
family
townhouse
that
we've
been
built,
and,
in
addition,
if
you
can
keep
scrolling,
was
also
a
plan
for
a
roof
deck
that
was
approved
by
South
End

AS
Richard
wins
of
245
Sumner
Street
East
Boston,
an
attorney
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
Madam
chair,
real
briefly.
This
board
may
remember
this
case.
It
was
probably
the
first
case,
I
believe
the
board
the
new
newly
constitute
board
back
in
January.
At
that
time
the
board
had
voted
to
deny
this
matter
with
President
without
prejudice
and
the
comments
at
the
time
by
Ms
feder
Barraza
involved
the
setback
of
the
building.
AS
AS
AS
The
other
side
accomplishment
way
is
actually
in
the
Waterfront
commercial
District,
which
allows
greater
densities
and
Heights
up
to
55
feet.
If
we
wanted
to
scroll
down
a
little
bit
further
to
the
site
plan,
I
can
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
changes
that
we
made
with
respect
to
the
radius
program,
so
our
site
is
the
one
sort
of
looking
at
the
middle
of
the
screen
there.
We
originally
proposed
this.
AS
It
was
pretty
similar
to
the
buildings
around
it
where
it
occupied
pretty
much
the
entire
through
the
entire
width
of
the
lot,
as
well
as
the
depth.
I
believe
this
better
for
us
I
had
some
concerns
about
our
setback,
including
the
rear,
the
structure
we
do
see
the
rear
of
our
building
that
that's
outlined
here,
there's
actually
a
garage.
So
it's
not
a
residential
building,
I
believe
the
owner
of
that
property
is
on
the
call
as
well
and
his
Express
support
for
our
revised
Proposal.
AS
AS
So
we
see
here
is
the
force,
the
four-story
building,
with
the
proposed
roof
deck
and
again
pretty
consistent
with
the
surrounding
context
for
congressmith
way
and
I
believe.
It
was
also
consistent
with.
A
The
efforts
for
planning
sponsor
for
rezoning
for
this
neighborhood
with
increased
types
of.
AS
The
lower
two
levels
at
the
first
and
second
floor
would
be
Studio
size
units,
the
first
level
being
handicapped
adaptable,
so
persons
who
find
accessibility
would
have
the
ability
to
purchase
that
unit.
The
upper
two
floors
constitute
one
unit.
It's
a
bi-level
unit,
two
bedroom
a
little
over
a
thousand
fifty
five
square
feet
with
respect
to
the
relief
that
we
require,
because
this
isn't
a
three
family.
Zoning
District
three
units
are
permitted,
so
no
relief
necessary
for
that.
AS
Our
unlock
size
is
just
under
a
thousand
square
feet
and
therefore
would
require
relief
for
the
minimum
lot
size
again.
This
is
quite
consistent
with
the
adjoining
loss,
along
that
section
of
copper
Supply
and
around
Liverpool
and
the
other
streets.
As
you
can
see
here
from
the
map.
AS
To
the
frontage
we
do
have
sufficient
Frontage
a
lot
width
at
27
feet.
20
feet
is
the
requirement.
We
have
increased
our
setback,
so
the
minimum
setback
requirement
for
the
district
is
two
and
a
half
feet
in
the
side
yards.
We
are
showing
it
at
2.75
on
the
left
and
a
little
over
4.2
feet
on
the
right.
The
right
side
of
the
building
allows
for
the
openings
under
the
state
building
codes.
AS
We
are
able
incorporate
some
windows
which
we
weren't
able
to
do
before
with
respect
to
the
rear
AI,
because
this
is
a
shallow
Rock
condition.
Article
53
allows
for
a
reduction
in
the
radii
requirement,
that's
typical
and
the
3f2000
district.
So
in
this
case
the
only
requirement
would
be
about
a
10-foot
setback,
we're
actually
at
four
feet,
which
is
increased
from
the
original
proposal.
So
we
do
require
a
relief
for
that,
but,
as
I
pointed
out,
the
structure
directly
behind
this
is
a
garage.
AS
A
A
AS
55
feet
and
I
did
have
a
photo
earlier,
showing
some
of
the
taller
buildings
in
the
immediate
and
immediate
neighborhood.
With
respect
to
the
number
of
spaces
that
require
for
parking
the
zoning
code
requires.
We
have
one
parking
space
per
unit.
The
sailors
are
pretty
tight
for
parking.
We
did
have
conversations
about
incorporating
parking
at
the
lower
level.
AS
You
know
the
the
preference
to
have
an
adaptable
or
accessible
unit
appear
to
be
much
more
favorable
for
surrounding
neighbors,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we
had
stuck
with
the
habitable
space
of
the
lower
level.
We
also
I
believe
this
is
also
gpop.
I
know:
we've
provided
the
appropriate
no
harm
and
reports
in
the
Boston
Line
Store
commission
I
will
pause
there
to
answer
any
questions
about
the
board.
Thank.
G
No,
no
question
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
the
the
setbacks
are
has
improved
significantly
when
we
denied
it
without
prejudice.
It
was
literally
landlocked
and
almost
up
to
the
lot
line.
So
this
this
you
guys
did
a
really
good
job
with
providing
some
side
yard
relief.
Thank
you.

okay,

you
to

reject

on
the
fact
that
there

it's
a
very
tight,

very
densely,
packed
excessively
High.
Building
on
such
a
small

the

is
lined
with

you,

I
know
it's
a

up

so
we
would
just
ask
them
a
new

been
great
he's
reached
out
to

he's
really
stayed

it's
warmed
up
so
nothing's
caught
a
spice,

I.
Think
added
units
will
definitely
help
these.
We
need
housing
in

well,

think
that
would
be
very
good
and
it
would
be
nice

Madam
chair
good
morning,
thank
you
just
been
elevated
to
be
able
to
speak
and
on
behalf
of
the
First
Priority
Credit
Union
I,
just
like
to
clarify
this
is
a
modest
six
foot
by
eight
foot
sign
at
the
corner
of
Bennington
Street
and
Swiss
Street,
and
it's
it's
not
subject
to
a
review
by
The
Outdoor
Advertising
board.
BC
It's.
It
is
forbidden
in
a
neighborhood
shopping
district,
but
this
particular
sign
would
be
a
positive
addition
to
to
this
area,
which
was
improved
by
the
First
Priority
Credit
Union.
When
it
was
constructed
over
10
years
ago.
BC
We
notified
all
immediate
about
us
and
received
positive
responses.
The
credit
union-
and
we
would
ask
that
the
board
approve
this
Monastery,
Quest
and
I-
do
want
to
distinguish
it.
It's
definitely
not
subject
to
any
overview
by
The.
Outdoor
Advertising
board
got.
C
BC
Correct
and
it's
six
feet
by
eight
feet:
an
average
billboard
would
be
40
40
feet
by
20
feet.
So
this
is
a
very
small
and
modest
on-premise
sign
with
the
first
priority
logo.
G
BC
M
G
T
A
top
location,
we
are
100
fruits
now
without
prejudice,
because
if
you
go
by
that
site
right
now,
it's
good.
There
is
a
good
visibility
on
that
corner.
If
you
feel
that
you
know
not
only
is
it
a
forbidden
use
but
that
supplication
it
put
inside
and
so
we're
on
record
of
to
now
without
prejudice.
C
AU
C
BC
You
have
this
reviewed
by
the
vpda.
I
was
not
aware
that
it
was
a
recommendation
for
denial
without
prejudice,
but
I.
The
my
understanding
was
that
the
request
would
have
been
otherwise
granted
if
it
wasn't
a
in
a
forbidden
zone
in
and
even
though
this
is
a
neighborhood
shopping
district.
This
is
pretty
much
the
only
business
that
that's
that's
nearby
and
I.
I
suspect
that
the
reason
for
it
being
forbidden
has
more
to
do
with
the
location
near.
BC
Major
roadway,
elevated
roadway
and
to
dissuade
Outdoor
Advertising
off-premise
Outdoor
Advertising
vis-a-visa
a
billboard-
and
this
is
not
a
billboard.
I
think
this
is
a
modest
request
to
assist
the
First
Priority
Credit
Union,
to
serve
its
members
and
to
expand,
and
it's
a
it's,
a
small,
relatively
small
credit
unions,
and
we
ask
that
the
board
approved.
Thank.
AR
G
There
is,
there
is
Katie.
There
is
a
large
sign
right
at
the
rear
of
that
corner.
That's
that
says
first
priority,
so
that
Jeff
is
correct.
In
that
there's
signage
is
just.
There
is
a
tree
canopy
that
you
know
conflicts
a
little
bit,
but
they
do
have
adequate
signage
on
that
corner.
At
the
building,
yeah.
BC
If
the
Ambassador
could
scroll
down
again
to
the
last
page,
where
the
bird's
eyes
the
second
last,
the
one
above
right
there,
you
can
see
the
the
expressway,
that's
the
that's
there.
This
is
mainly
residential
in
nature,
except
for
the
First
Priority,
Credit,
Union
and
I
again.
My
view
is
that
isn't
that
is
that
the
rationale
for
this
underlying
zoning
is
to
discover
for
this
to
be
neighborhood
shopping.
It
isn't,
in
the
usual
sense
of
the
neighborhood
shopping
district,
that
you
would
walk
in
into
several
schools.
BC
It's
not
a
village,
it's
right
located
next
to
the
expressway,
but
there
isn't
much
visibility
on
the
corner
of
Bennington,
the
the
sign
that
is
facing
facing
Swift
Street.
AP
Yes,
Madam

caller
Newman
with
the

the

defer

We
had
the

flyer
Waters

feet
and
our

just
heard
from

called
in

express
concerns
that

might
lead
to
crap
other
than
that
no

were
made

with

The
developer
has
not
gone
before
their
board
and
for
our
support
and
they
would
like
to
take
a
look
at
the
proposal
before
he
moves
forward
with
the
CBA.
Thank
you
so
much.
L
C
AB
Well,
I'm
kind
of
one
of
the
proponents
or
or
at
at
Lauren,
actually
opponents
of
large
Billboards
wow.
This
is
not
the
same
size
of
a
billboard
that
you
would
naturally
see
along
the
highway.
It
is
quite
large-
and
it
looks
like
this-
is
this
drawing
minimizes
the
appearance
of
what
it
will
be.
Eight
feet
is
eight
feet,
it's
still
quite
large,
and
so
is
six
feet.
AB
So,
six
by
eight
on
that
residential
street
you're,
just
having
a
lot
of
units
go
up
right
now,
I
think
they're
mandated
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
to
put
some
commercial
application
down
below.
If
property
there
I
think
it's
six
units
that
are
going
up,
six
or
nine
I
forget,
but
it's
it's
for,
for
all
intents
and
purposes,
it's
a
very
large
book
sign
that
is
on
that
throughway.
So
and
yes,
it
is
very
close
to
the
highway,
so
it's
probably
probably
under
200.
AB
BC
It
yes,
please,
we
forgot
to
the
community
process
chair.
We
we
absolutely
were
willing
to
meet
with
the
neighborhood
association
and
we
provide
Neighborhood
Services
representatives
to
determine
whether
we
needed
to
do
that
or
not,
and
the
Neighborhood
Services
representative,
given
that
it
was
a
small,
modest
request
that,
just
above
through
flyer
and
notify
all
media
the
brothers,
several
of
whom
Molly
on
me
from
the
credit
union
can
attest,
came
in
through
the
credit
union
in
support
of
this
request.
C
Okay,
but
with
that
may
I
have
a
mission.
H
It's
going
to
make
a
motion
to
deny
without
prejudice,
I,
don't
believe
a
hardship
has
been
met.
They
have
multiple
signs
on
their
property
on
the
building.
There's
a
directional
sign
at
the
entrance
to
the
driveway
advertising,
the
name
of
the
business,
so
I,
don't
believe
they
need
a
possible
fourth
sign.
Thank
you.

Hi
good
afternoon,
thank
you.
I'm
Richie
Parsons,
my
family's
lived
in
Adams
Village
in
Dorchester,
since
1916.
I'm,
one
of
the
co-founders
and
as
Jay
said
I'll,
be
the
general
manager
of
the
proposed
770
gallon

AT
Our
team
has
successfully
managed
five
cannabis
retail
facilities
in
Massachusetts
with
locations
in
Boston,
Cambridge,
Needham,
Watertown
and
Somerville
and
Michelle
hired
me
in
Needham
five
years
ago.
I'm
really
proud
of
the
dispensaries,
perfect
incident-free
track
record,
our
relationship
with
Needham
law
enforcement
and
the
community,
as
well
as
our
setting
and
maintaining
the
gold
standard
of
compliance
with
the
CCC.
In
fact,
the
CCC
has
often
used
the
Needham
facility
as
training
for
newer
inspectors
as
a
model
of
a
tight
ship
next

AT
If
we're
going
that
way,
just
a
little
bit
about
me
before
I
introduce
you
to
Michelle,
my
family
lived
on
Westmoreland
Street
for
100
years,
as
I
said
1916
to
2016.
my
dad
worked
at
the
Supreme

when
he
was
18
in
1936
and
he
ran
the
CCD
program
at
St
Brendan's
for
25
years
as
a
teenager,
I
was
working
in
feline's

I
wrote
a
song
from
my
band
called
No

which
became
through
known
throughout
the
neighborhood,
and
that's
where
we
get
our
name.

BA
Thank
you
Richie.
Some
highlights
of
770
Gallivan
Boulevard.
The
site
is
an
existing
high
volume,
commercially
zoned
retail
location
that
previously
hosted
a
busy
Verizon
store,
as
well
as
a
regional,
covid-19
testing
site.
As
you
can
see,
the
site
is
adjacent
to
Neponset
circle,
with
ample
access
to
multimodal
public
transit
options.
BA
This
means
there
is
no
potential
for
the
site
to
generate
vehicular
traffic
in
the
residential
neighborhood.
This
proposal
meets
all
citing
requirements.
There
is
an
existing
non-retail
delivery,
only
marijuana
facility
at
1170,
Morrissey
Boulevard,
which
is
approximately
three
tenths
of
a
mile
away.
BA
BA
The
average
customer
transaction
time
is
about
three
to
five
minutes,
we'll
be
offering
Order
ahead
online
ordering
as
well
as
in-store
self-serve
kiosk
order,
both
which
decrease
the
average
transaction
time
our
security
measures
meet
or
exceed
all
standards
for
local
banks
and
financial
institutions.
This
means
that
this
facility
will
be
one
of
the
safest
locations
in
Dorchester.
We
have
extensive
standard
standard
reading
procedures
in
place
around
security,
preventing
diversion
and
inventory
controls
that
all
of
the
staff
are
thoroughly
trained
on
by
our
general
manager,
which
will
be
Richie
and
by
myself.
BA
In
addition
to
our
well-trained
staff,
the
facility
is
monitored,
24
7
by
cameras
and
alarms,
and
access
to
all
of
our
products
is
tightly
controlled.
Only
certain
employees
have
access
to
the
secured
Vault
where
products
are
stored.
It
Bears
repeating
that
underarm
management,
our
stores,
have
had
zero
incidents
or
fast
diversion
or
public
nuisance.
BA
We
will
institute
a
strict
Zero
Tolerance
policy,
no
use
of
products
on
the
premise
or
in
the
direct
surrounding
neighborhood
no
public
nuisances.
Security
will
also
have
sole
discretion
to
refuse
access
to
anyone
to
the
into
the
facility
and
any
person
violating
these
regulations
or
disrespecting.
Our
community
will
be
permanently
banned
from
the
facility
and
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
back
to
Richie.
AT
BD
Chair
just
clarify
members
again,
there
are
two
two
purposes
for
which
were
before
the
board.
Today
again,
that's
a
change
of
occupancy
to
a
forbidden
use
which
is
cannabis.
BD
Marijuana
retailer,
as
well
as
as
the
zoning
code
treats
all
cannabis
licensees,
regardless
as
to
whether
it's
a
retail
facility
or
not
as
the
same
for
the
half
purpose
of
a
half
mile
buffer,
we
do
have
a
delivery,
only
approved
site
again,
three
three
point
three
miles
from
this
site,
but
again
just
want
to
remind
the
members
that
that
that
delivery
only
does
not
allow
for
any
consumer
or
general
public
access,
since
it's
merely
a
warehouse
allowing
for
deliveries
to
happen
external
to
that
site.
BD
So,
while
the
half
mile
buffer
does
apply
I,
don't
think
it
applies
in
the
way
that
perhaps
it
was
thought
about
when
the
city
council
approved
the
half
mile
buffer.
So
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
to
you.
Madam
chair,
thank
you.
Thank.
BD
You
know
Richie,
can
you
speak
to
that?
That
was
something
that
we
worked
very
closely
with
the
Cedar
Grove
Association.
BD
We
actually
went
before
Cedar
Grove,
civic
association,
I
believe
three
times
as
well
as
work
with
the
leadership
team
there
between
meetings,
in
order
to
make
sure
that
we
set
up
a
process
that
did
benefit
the
community.
Specifically,
we've
committed
to
setting
up
a
community
Advisory
Board
to
actually
distribute
the
funds
so
that
we're
not
actually
in
the
middle
of
kind
of
playing
favorites.
BD
If
you
will
I
think
that
you
see
a
lot
of
these
proposals
will
come
in
and
kind
of
use
the
money,
if
you
will
to
kind
of
get
the
support
that
they
need
and
I
think
we
really
wanted
to
come
in
and
and
dedicate
money
to
what
the
community
wants,
rather
than
what
we
think
the
community
would
want
to
that
Richie.
Can
you
maybe
comment
more
on
just
the
the
community
benefit
package.
AT
Yeah
I
apologize
if
I
have
my
notes
in
front
of
me
but
I
believe
it's
a
hundred
thousand
for
the
starting
after
the
first
year
for
three
years
and
as
Jay
said,
it
would
be
something
that
the
community
would
decide
on.
You
know
where
the
money
goes.
Sometimes
you
know
Charities
and
such
might
not
want
to
be
directly
associated
with
a
you
know,
a
cannabis
company,
but
we
would
leave
that
up
to
them.
Yeah.
AT
I'm
currently
managing
one
in
in
Needham
I've
been
there
for
five
years.
BD
But
to
answer
the
question:
I
think
that
you're
asking
no,
that
this
manage
this
team,
Richie
and
Michelle.
This
would
be
their
only
Venture,
for
which
they
would
have
a
controlling
interest.
BD
They
have
been
associated
with
other
Ventures,
either
as
an
employee
or
a
minority
partner,
but
this
will
be
their
first
time
really
going
out
on
their
own
and
that's
been
made
possible
by
their
employment
at
other
dispensaries
over
the
course
the
last
seven
years.
Okay,
thank
you.
G
So
thanks
for
answering
that
was
going
to
be
one
of
my
questions
in
terms
of
equity
Partners,
but
you
noted
that
there
is
no
equity
partner
in
this
Pro
in
this
project,
but
I
see
a
lot
of
parking
spaces.
What
are
you
going
to
do
with
all
of
those
vacant
spots
so.
BD
Right
now,
the
owner
of
the
property
rents,
and
we
anticipate
that
we
would
continue
to
run
25
spaces
to
the
neponsive
Valley
Health
Center
So.
Currently,
employees
like
today,
employees
are
using
those
spaces
to
park
and
then
and
then
access
the
Neponset
Valley
Health
Center.
So
that
would
continue.
We
expect
that
that
would
continue.
BD
Additionally,
we
dedicated
to
working
with
these
surrounding
neighborhood,
particularly
the
residencies
on
minnow
and
clover,
to
use
some
of
these
spots
during
snow
emergencies
or
snowstorms.
So
there
would
be
some
access
by
immediate
butters
for
their
benefit.
You
know,
I
know
that
there
continues
to
be
a
lot
of
concern
about
dedicated
parking
for
these
kinds
of
Ventures
and
I.
Think
that,
on
a
positive
side,
I
think
that
this
has
more
than
ample
parking
I
think
it's
something
to
continue
to
monitor.
BD
As
you
know,
candidly
the
Cannabis
industry
is
becoming
more
saturated
and
so
we're
just
not
seeing
the
demands
that
I
think
was
anticipated
at
the
beginning
of
this.
So
I
think
that
will
be
something
that
we'll
continue
to
watch
carefully
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
over
over
relying
on
on
on
on
parking
and
using
that
parking
for
the
community
benefit.
I.
Think
where
we
can.
AN
I
just
had
a
question:
are
these
parking
space?
Are
they
going
to
be
free
to
the
ones
that
are
using
it.
BD
Meaning
to
the
customers
at
the
store,
no.
AN
You
said
this
somewhat
like
for
the
facility
or
the
medical
facility
and
the
community
in
general,
you're
not
charging
at
all.
BD
I
believe
I,
you
know,
I
am
not
the
I
don't
represent
the
landlord
directly
I
believe
that
there
is
an
arrangement
between
Neponset
Valley
Health
and
the
landlord
that
probably
has
some
monetary
value
attached
to
it,
but
in
terms
of
the
community
direct
community
of
Butters
and
using
these
spaces
during
snow
or
other
kind
of
incidences
that
where
that
would
be
a
helpful
benefit,
that
would
that
that
is
anticipated
as
not
having
any
value
attached
to
it.
BD
Other
than
you
know
the
the
value
of
working
well
with
our
our
Butters
and
our
in
our
community.
So
no
money
would
be
attached
to
that.
AN
Okay,
if
there
is
any
fee
involved
that
Madam
chair
even
your
license
from
the
Boston
transportation
department,
but
if
they're
not
charging
anyone
at
all
then
he's
okay.
N
E
Yes,
sir
Mr
Shumpert,
my
one
question
I
saw
on
the
chat.
Are
there
any
schools,
the
possibly
of
this
head
of
the
shop.
AP
Yes,
Madam

members
of
the
board
call
honor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
and
Neighborhood
Services.
This
kind
of
mayor's
office
referred
to
the
Judgment
as
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process
office
Neighborhood
Services
held
in
a
Butters
meeting
on
January
18th
of
2023..
There
were
several
abunders
a
residents.
I
should
say
that
vocalized
their
opposition
to
the
proposal,
citing
concerns
with
the
proposal
being
across
the
street
from
the
John
Paul
Park,
as
well
as
concerns
that
they
felt
there
were
already
a
number
of
dispensaries
in
the
Dorchester
area.
AP
AF
I
and
Heather
gender
I'm,
the
owner
of
top
shelf
cookies,
I'm,
a
business
in
the
neighborhood
just
about
a
half
mile
away
from
the
proposed
space,
I've
attended
all
the
community
meetings
and
really
gotten
to
know
Richie
and
Michelle
over
this
time
as
they've
been
proposing
and
bringing
their
ideas
and
listening
to
the
neighborhood
and
as
a
business
owner
in
the
neighborhood
I
feel
completely
comfortable
having
them
come
in
and
I
also
know
that
they're
going
to
fit
in
with
what
the
neighborhood
wants
and
mean
so
I
am
in
full
support.
N
G
I
have
a
question
and
does
the
Boston
cannabis
board
that
provides
the
license?
Are
they
regulating
how
many
they're
releasing
our
neighborhood
so,
for
example,
that
one
neighbor
has
not
Indonesia
with
cannabis
retail?
G
We
have
a
question
directed
to
I,
guess
Javier
Salas
or
can
help
just
support.
G
Anyone
regulating
how
many
license
are
being
distributed
according
to
the
the
land
occupied
by
each
neighborhood.
G
BE
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
sir
I
I,
my
name
is
Stephen
Graham
I
love
on
the
Celeste
Road
about
two
blocks
away
from
this
site.
I've
lived
here
for
37
years
and
I've
looked
into
I,
dressed
up
for
almost
70
years,
just
to
put
a
little
bit
into
context
for
the
boy
40
years
ago.
BE
I
was
president
of
also
neighborhood
association,
and
we
would
be
in
front
of
the
board
fighting
beer
and
wine
liquor
license
for
Dorchester
area
40
years
later
this
he
was
pretty
silly
this
this
we
know
Richie,
and
we
know
this
site.
This
site
has
been
vacant
now
for
many
years
and
that's
a
terrible,
terrible
thing.
The
neighborhood
and
we
believe
this
business
Not
only
would
be
acceptable.
It
would
probably
be
the
safest,
neighborhood
business
in
the
area.
I
personally
strongly
hope
that
this
board
approves
this
license.
Thank
you
very
much.

Mr

Thank
you.
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
George
morency
I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address,
350
West
Broadway
in
South
Boston
I
represent
City
Realty
Group,
the
owner
and
developer
of
property.
Josh
betterman
from
City
Realty
is
here,
as
is
the
in
our
teachers
from
Embark
design.
BF
The
project
architect
post
project
consists
of
a
new
five-story
building
to
contain
52
residential
apartment
units,
including
nine
affordable
units
in
equipment
with
the
city's
pollutionary
development
policy,
which
is
just
over
17
affordability,
50
garage
parking
spaces
will
be
provided
as
well
as
ample
bicycle
storage
space
as
Mr
Stembridge
indicated.
This
is
an
article
80
small
project,
which
was
approved
by
the
bpda
on
March
16th
of
this
year.
BF
The
program
of
this
building
locates
the
lobby
and
additional
amenity
spaces,
including
bike
storage
on
the
ground
floor
along
Norwood
Street,
facilitate
and
activate
the
streetscape
arcing
has
been
located
in
the
rear
of
the
site
away
from
the
street.
So
it's
not
to
impact
the
public
Realm.
The
site
is
located
within
a
coastal
flood
resilience,
overlay
district
and
accordingly,
the
building's
ground
floor
has
been
raised
almost
five
feet
from
existing
grade
and
beat
resiliency
requirements.
BF
Comprehensive
landscape
plan
has
been
developed
for
the
project
to
navigate
this
Brave
change,
including
New,
Street
plantings
and
sidewalks
along
Norwood
Street.
As
I
mentioned,
the
project
will
include
50
on-site
parking
spaces
accessed
via
a
garage
entrance
on
Norwood
Springs.
The
replacement
of
the
commercial
use
in
its
Associated
vehicular
traffic
will
allow
for
the
closure
of
approximately
34
feet,
of
existing
curb
cut
on
Norwood
Street,
making
for
a
better
and
safer
pedestrian
environment
and
also
reducing
the
opportunity
for
vehicular
pedestrian
conflicts.
BF
The
52
residential
apartments
are
to
be
located
on
the
second
through
fifth
course,
as
well
as
additional
amenity
space,
including
a
fitness
room,
a
common
room
and
roof
deck,
basing
the
Neponset
River
and
Boston
Harbor
to
the
Northeast.
In
addition
to
the
common
roof
Tech
most
of
the
unit
temp
inside
have
private
Outdoors
based
on
in-step
exterior
balconies
of
the
52
units.
It
will
be
23
Studio
units
averaging
580
square
feet,
15
one
bedroom
units
averaging
775
square
feet
and
14
two
bedroom
units
averaging
905
square
feet
with
respect
to
the
zoning
violation.
BF
Project
has
decided
for
insufficient
off-street
parking
and
loading.
We
are
at
a
nearly
one-to-one
parking
ratio,
whereas
over
70
spaces
would
be
required
by
zoning.
The
bbda
is
determined
that
the
amount
of
provided
parking
is
appropriate
and
that
a
dedicated
loading
dog
for
this
entirely
Residential
Building
is
not
necessary.
The
garage
will
employ
an
automated
parking
system
which
creates
a
cited
violation
for
parking
size
and
maneuverability.
BF
As
all
such
systems
do
proposed
floor
area,
ratio
of
2.63
XD
exceeds
the
maximum
of
two
for
the
zoning
sub-district
in
the
building's
height,
which
is
just
over
60
feet,
exceeds
the
sub-district
maximum
of
45
feet
again.
The
bpda
has
determined
that
the
Project's
Dent
to
the
end
height
are
appropriate
of
the
site.
In
light
of
the
need
to
create
new
housing.
BF
There
is
a
rear
setback
insufficiency
but
I
point
out
again
that
the
site
backed
up
to
the
mbta's
red
line,
right-of-way
and
track
bed
in
light
of
good-backed
various
sound
dampening
construction
techniques
and
methodologies
will
be
employed,
including
possibly
the
use
of
meta
materials
and
resilient
channels.
Also,
the
residential
use
of
the
building
begins,
as
I
noted
earlier
on
the
second
floor,
providing
even
more
distance
from
the
rail
bed.
BF
The
multi-family
residential
use
is
conditional
in
this
community
commercial
sub-district,
but
again,
as
I
pointed
out
earlier,
there's
significant
residential
presence
in
the
immediate
area,
including
all
properties
located
directly
across
Norwood
Street
from
the
site.
Finally,
the
project
is
cited
on
the
zoning
refusal
letter
being
located
within
both
a
flood
Hazard
District
in
Sea
fraud
and
fully
complies
with
all
flood
grouping
and
resiliency
requirements,
which
was,
of
course,
a
requirement
of
the
article
80
review
and
approval
process.
With
that
I'll
pause
and
take
any
questions
that
members
may
have.
T
G
I
would
just
like
confirmation
that
it
is
indeed
A
Accessible
ramp,
right
in
front
of
Norwood
Street,
leading
to
the
main
entry
I
believe,
that's
what
it
is,
but
it's
it's
not
noticed.
I'm
just
want
confirmation.
Z
BF
Yes,
okay,
I,
well,
I
I,
I
I'm,
not
an
architect.
Obviously,
my
my
knowledge
is
that,
of
course,
we
cannot
have
a
non-compliant
means
of
access.
The
reason
for
the
Ram
is,
of
course,
the
fact
that
the
the
building
is
built
up
by
the
in
terms
of
its
foundation
in
order
to
provide
compliance
with
defraud
requirements.
As
I
say,
the
nrt
is
here
from
Embark.
If
you
would
like
any
specific,
a
confirmation,
for
example,
on
the
on
the
the
degree
of
slope
money
and
it's
compliance.
G
G
E
BF
Unicount,
yes,
I
can
go
over
that
again
or
the
breakdown
of
the
unit.
So
on
the
52
there
will
be
23
Studio
units
that
they're
averaging
580
square
feet
or
knows
a
Metro
unit.
Size
for
one
bedroom
is
625
so
by
Studio
standards.
These
are
quite
large,
15
would
be
one
bedroom
units
averaging
775
square
feet
and
14
would
be
two
bedroom
units
averaging
905
square
feet
of
the
nine
IDP
units
as
a
rental
project.
BF
To
my
knowledge,
no
general
contractor
has
been
elected,
I,
don't
represent
City,
Realty,
transactionally
or
in
a
general
sense,
but
I'm
unaware
of
any
general
contractor
having
been
selected
construction
cycle.
My
clients
are
hoping
for.
Third
quarter
start
so
sometime
in
the
fall
this
year
and
anticipated
construction
timing
would
be
approximately
five
or
six
quarters.
They
would
be
looking
to
finish
up.
Hopefully
before
this
year,
2025.
D
Chair,
yes,
one
question
and
possible
comment.
First,
the
number
of
I
believe
was
stated,
the
number
of
IDP
units
and
what
the
Ami
would
be
applied
to.
BF
Those
certainly
so
as
rental
Industries
would
all
be
70
Ami,
which
is
standard.
There
are
nine
identified
IDP
units
in
what
that
comes
down
to
is
17
affordability
for
the
project.
D
Thank
you,
and
secondly,
if
Mr
D'amico
is
still
with
us,
I
see
he
had
some
comments
on
on
The
Proposal.
AN
Oh
yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
of
the
Amico
BTD
I
was
just
wondering
I,
don't
see,
the
amount
of
space
is
numbered
in
the
staggers
I
know,
there's
a
total
number,
but
I
don't
know
if
there's
going
to
be
two
or
three,
in
other
words,
I'd
like
more
detail
on
the
the
setup
of
the
stacker
parking
to
make
sure
that
it
would
work
well.
BF
Presentation,
which
is
the
ground
floor
plan,
shows
detailed
information
on
the
on
the
garage
and
the
parking
system.
So
there
are
four
automated
stackers
of
14
10
and
14
spaces.
That
is
a
total
of
48,
and
the
additional
two
spaces
are
HP
spaces
which
are
in
the
front
of
the
building
adjacent
to
the
mic
room
they're
not
shown
on
this
particular
page.
BF
But
there
is
a
ground
floor,
page
plan
which
again
I
believe
might
be
H20
the
plant
set,
but
it
is
full
color
plan
and
it
comes
just
after
the
Landscaping
presentation.
BG
Okay
of
this
presentation
and
to
answer
your
question
of
this
is
Dan
ortegis
with
Embark
the
architect.
Sorry
I
was
just
race
to
panelist,
but
the
stackers
the
semi-automated
parking.
The
way
they
work
is,
it
will
be
a
two
level
system
and
a
tandem
configuration.
So
we
have
four
separate
systems.
BG
They
each
as
George
had
mentioned
a
14,
10,
10
and
14,
so
they
would
operate
independently
of
each
other,
but
provide
parking
for
those
designated
totals
to
help
with
cueing
and
access
and
again
the
parking
level
is
raised
to
meet
the
resiliency
guidelines
and
there
will
not
be
a
pit,
so
these
would
be
two
levels
above
grade
for
the
parking.
AN
No
there's
no
need
for
a
vehicle
to
be
moved
for
drivers
to
get
out
they're,
all
independently
allowed
to
gain
access
and
egress
to
the
driveway.
Is
that
what
you're
saying
yes.
BG
X
X
BF
I
think
I
think
the
IDT
package
was
determined
in
conjunction
with
the
affordable
housing
division
at
the
bpda
70
is
standard,
I
understand
the
trust
of
the
question
which
you
said
you
feel
maybe
that
percentage
should
be
different,
but
it
is
in
fact
what
we
did
work
out
with
the
affordable
housing
division
at
the
bpda
in
terms
of
community
benefits.
There
will
be
typical
contributions,
such
as
to
the
blue
blue
bikes
program.
BF
There
will
be
approximately
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
which
would
be
earmarked
for
sidewalk,
Street
and
or
public
realm
improvements
in
the
area.
There
is
going
to
be
a
ten
thousand
dollar
donation
to
the
Gavin
Foundation,
which
would
be
directed
for
Eileen's
house,
which
is
a
residential
treatment
facility
for
women
who
are
in
recovery
in
the
Dorchester
neighborhood.
BF
My
clients
are
also
contributing
25
thousand
dollars
to
another
Dorchester
non-profit,
also
an
amount
of
thirty
thousand
seven
hundred
dollars,
which
will
be
paid
to
the
city's
fund
parks
and
that
will
be
used
to
fund
efforts
to
maintain
breed
space
at
Garvey
playground,
which
is
in
the
area
of
the
proposed
project.
Thank
you.

Good
afternoon
Madam,

members
of
the
board,
my

with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
The
applicant
has
completed
their
Community
process,
namely
through
the
bpda,
given
that
this
project
was
an
article
80
project
as
such,
our
office
was
not
where
I've
been
hosting
a
boaters
meeting
over
the
project,
but
I
know
there
are
numerous
Community
meetings
held
through
the
bpda
I
also
know
there
was
some
concern
brought
up
over
ensuring
this
project
and
land
resilient
and
ensuring
that
this
project
continues
at
resiliency.

Jessica

Yeah
Andrew

in
the
punch
it
as
lifelong
resident,
small
business
owner
in
the

We
we
want
to
support
the
project.
We
think
it's
a
good
project.
We
like
the
recovery
aspect
of
it.
We
think
it's
good
for
the
neighborhood,
so
we
are
in
support.
Thank.
E
I
Oh
I'm,
at

Myrtle
Bank

also
have
property
on
Westmoreland

in
Dorchester
and.
C
You
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
G
E
C
X
N
We
have
a
raised
in
here
Hillary
I'm,
going
to
make
you
a
panelist.
BI
Hello,
this
is
actually
I
know,
it
says
Hillary
Shepard,
but
this
is
Owen,
Thomas,
I'm,
the
architect
or
the
project
and
representing
the
owners
we
are
proposing.
This
is
a
a
small
rear,
Edition
that
we're
proposing
to
the
gas
station
at
the
five
corners
Mini
Mart.
BI
You
can
see
the
the
photos
there
on
the
bottom
of
the
first
page
show
the
gas
station.
The
middle
photo
shows
the
rear
area
that
we're
looking
we're
proposing
to
do
a
single
story.
Edition
and
then
the
aerial
view
shows
where
it
is.
It's
a
it's.
A
very
unique,
odd
shaped
lot.
The
relief
that
we're
looking
for
is
of
rear
yard
setback.
BI
It's
as
I
said
it's
kind
of
a
funny
lot
and
we
were
it's
a
zero
side,
yard
setback
and
a
20-foot
rear
yard
setback.
But
it's
a
it's
a
kind
of
a
unique
situation
here.
But
what
we're
proposing
is
a
single
story.
Addition
to
the
retail
space.
BI
It
would
be
the
same
height
as
the
existing
single
story
structure
and
just
expand
the
retail
space
for
more
amenities
of
things
like
that
and
and
then
that's
that's
pretty
much
it.
The
the
site
is
surrounded
by
industrial
kind
of
parking
areas
and
and
obviously
that
intersection
towards
the
front
of
the
gas
station
happy
to
answer
any
any
questions
you
might
have.
BJ
Any
good
morning,
Madam

here
from

we
met
with

We
receive
no
concerns
or
Butters,
and
that
can
also
map
with

they
would
like

AR
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Attorney
John
pulgini
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
with
me,
is
Gerald
Sullivan,
who
is
the
team
architect
to
block
you
the
plans?
So
this
is
in
article
80
project.
It
went
through
a
one
to
two
Thompson
Square
in
Charlestown.
The
zoning
air
is
neighborhood
shopping.
AR
This
composite
project
is
to
change
occupancy
and
construct
a
five-story
addition
to
an
existing
building
at
one
to
two
Thompson
Square
in
Charlestown
existing
buildings,
26
973
square
feet.
The
addition
will
be
23,
934
it'll
have
nine
residential
units,
retail
space
off
street
parking,
and
the
proposal
went
to
a
very
long
and
detailed
design
with
bpdas
landmarks,
as
well
as
the
Charlestown
preservation
Society.
The
unit
mix
will
be
three

bedrooms:
two
thousand

feet:
on
average
six,
two

1164

on
average

violations.
AR
We
have
lost
you

which
is
an
accurate.
We
satisfy
that
building

We
brought
the
building
to
match
the
existing

That's
currently

which
is

side
yard
setback,
is
two
and
a
half,
and
on
one
section
on
a
very
Corner
we're
at
zero
roof
structure
restriction
because
of
doing
the
work
to
the
roof
and
I
stated
this
one
through
a
it's
a
historic
nature
of
this
building.
So
it
was
vetted
extensively
by
bpda
landmarks,
Architects
as
well
see
child
sound
preservation.
AR
We
had
thought
over
five
meetings
with
Charlestown
preservation,
the
project
involved
due
to
their
input,
and
we
have
agreed
with
Charlestown
preservation
for
a
Proviso
that
any
work
would
not
in
any
way
demolish
the
existing
manside
Group,
which
we
would
request,
be
a
Proviso
this
morning.
At
this
point,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
architect,
Gerald
Sullivan,
to
unlock
you
guys
to
the
designs
and
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions.
But
we
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
this
morning.
AR
Is
Gerald
Sullivan
I
know
he's
on
the
call
may
have
to
be
unmuted.
C
Jessica
I
see
Aaron
Stevens
from
bpda,
and
maybe
she
can
speak
while
you're
also
looking
for
this
other
person.
Okay,.
AX
Sure
thank
you
good
morning,
Madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Aaron
skibbons
and
I'm.
A
project
assistant
at
the
bpdi,
the
one
two
Thompson
Square
project,
went
through
a
thorough
article,
80
small
project
review
in
2021,
which
included
input
from
other
City
agencies,
including
Boston,
Landmark
sequence
and
staff.
A
public
meeting
was
held
virtually
on
March
31st
2021,
which
was
advertised
in
the
local
newspaper
and
online,
and
the
project
was
approved
by
our
board
in
June
of
2021..
AX
BK
You
I'm
sorry
thank
you
for
meeting
me
there,
so
the
the
intent
of
this
project
was
to
recognize
the
significance
of
this
historic
building
and
to
put
the
addition,
as
far
as
possible
away
from
the
building,
so
that
we
are
do
not
infringe
on
any
of
the
historic
nature
of
the
building.
As
John
mentioned
earlier,
we
will,
you
know,
accept
the
the
the
requirement
to
make
sure
that
we
do
not
disturb
or
demolish
any
of
the
existing
mansard
roof
on
the
buildings
we
are
setting
the
building
back.
BK
If
you
go
to
the
other
drawings,
there
you'll
see
that
the
building
is
set
back
to
provide
a
little
Courtyard
there
outside
of
the
Starbucks,
which
will
be
a
public
space
in
which
people
can.
BK
You
know,
go
to
the
Starbucks,
as
well
as
the
new
building
which
will
have
retail.
On
the
first
floor.
AR
And
we're
also
working
with
the
bpda
MBTA
and
public
works
on
design
and
improvements
of
the
public
realm
near
the
project
side,
which
includes
relocation
of
an
MBTA
bus,
92,
stop
from
the
south
side
of
Church
Street
to
the
front
of
one
to
two
Thompson
Square,
including
the
installation
of
a
four
to
five
foot
extension
sidewalk,
reinstating
Granite,
curves
and
every
full,
updated
ADA,
Compliant
and
also
pedestrian
access
improvements,
including
Landscaping
of
the
streetscape
improvements
in
and
around
the
project
site.
AR
C
AR
That's
a
great
question:
Madam
chair,
so
the
we
had
a
meeting
early
on
with
the
landmarks
commission
just
to
have
them
vet
the
project
and
through
the
BPA
design,
review
landmarks
and
bpda
work
hand
in
hand
on
designing
this,
so
this
has
been
reviewed
by
the
Lynn
Landmark
Architects.
The
process
is,
after
today's
zoning
point
of
view
meeting.
If
this
is
approved,
we
go
back
to
landmarks,
to
have
them
look
at
the
design
and
make
any
changes
if
they
feel
are
appropriate.
AR
The
concern
in
the
community
with
respect
to
preserving
the
manside
roof
of
the
existing
building,
and
we
worked
again
since
even
last
night
into
this
morning,
reaching
agreement
with
the
Charlestown
preservation
society,
as
well
as
with
the
District
counselor,
on
the
preservation
of
that.
So,
okay.
C
Well,
that
would
be
useful
to
hear
during
public
testimony
because
there
are
quite
a
number
of
letters
in
opposition
and
they
were
reference.
These
things
yeah
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
H
I
have
a
question
Madam
chair
for
the
applicant.
Is
this
you
know
project
I,
guess
under
common
ownership,
with
the
historic
building?
Are
they
sort
of
taken
together?
Are
they
separate?
Can
you
speak
to
that
yeah.
AR
So
there
would
be
under
common
ownership.
That's
a
good
question
initially,
when
this
came
before
years
back
that
building
when
you're
looking
at
this
building
to
the
left
is,
was
not
owned
by
this
proponent.
However,
that
has
changed
and
that
it
will
be
in
common
ownership
and
so
a
lot
of
things
up
top
are
life
safety
issues,
and
things
like
that
that
were
done
as
part
of
the
architectural
presentation.
This
morning,
okay,.
AE
At
Champions
is
the
voice
John
Green
De
Mayo's
office,
neighborhood
services,
so
some
background
was
already
touched
on,
but
they
there
was
an
initial
public
meeting
that
was
hosted
by
the
bpda
in
late
March
of
2021
University
BPA
approval
the
first
one
before
this
DBA
in
June
of
2021
when
I
was
denied.
Since
then,
the
proponents
have
worked
with
the
Charleston
preservation
Society
in
the
bpda
on
the
proposal.
The
preservation
Society
since
I
last
spoke
to
them
this
morning,
still
objects
to
the
variant
stock
or
on
the
maximum
Building
height
allowed.
AE
Butters
were
made
aware
of
the
project
once
more
would
be
a
flyer.
This
April
April
2023
this
office
has
received
no
letters
and
support
and
has
received
eight
sorry,
nine
in
opposition,
including
one
from
the
CPS,
based
on
the
maximum
height
variance.
It
is
with
that
that
we
defer
our
judgment
to
the
board,
but.
AV
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Sebastian
Parker,
a
final
Circle.
That
I
was
able
to
speak
with
Amanda
from
Charleston
preservation
society
and
with
the
attorney
for
this
proposal,
and
they
came
to
an
agreement
in
which
the
developer
will
revise
the
plan,
so
no
parts
of
the
mainstream
roof
line
will
be
demolished.
This
is
a
win
for
preservation
and
Council
would
like
to
promote
support
this
project
with
this
Proviso.
Thank
you.
AB
BL
Good
morning
or
good
afternoon
early,
my
name
is
Marcus.
Faber
and
I
live
at
14
quarter
street
directly
at
budding
the
lot
at
the
rear
of
one
two
Thompson
Square.
BL
Well,
while
I
support
the
Redevelopment
of
the
lot
in
general,
I
object
to
the
height
of
the
proposed
Edition,
which
would
nearly
double
the
permitted
height
in
the
neighborhood.
The
new
68
foot
building
would
Loom
over
my
neighbor's
homes
blocking
light
and
Views.
It's
disappointing
that
the
applicant
has
apparently
not
made
any
changes
to
plans
that
were
previously
opposed
by
Butters
and
denied
by
the
zba
in
2021
or
if
they
have,
those
changes
haven't
been
shared
with
the
community
and
apparently
the
landmarks
commission
hasn't
approved
the
design.
BL
Yet,
although
I
understand,
based
on
discussions
this
morning,
that
they're
still
ongoing
discussion,
thank.
C

All
right
was
that
may
I
have
any
other
comments
from
the
board
or
the
applicant
before
we
take
a
vote.
AR
I
will
just
say
one
thing
with
respect
to
the
about
us
on
the
side
street.
We
had
done
Shadow
studies
and
showed
them
they
have.
If
you
look
guys
look
at
your
tablets,
they
have
extensive
tree
canopies
that
would
prevent
any
signing
from
our
building
blocking
any
sun
that
goes
in
there
that
otherwise
wouldn't
be
blocked
from
the
trees
themselves.

AE
Sorry,
just
really,
quick
from
the
mayor's
office,
Neighborhood
Services
I'm
in
zedel
from
the
Charleston
preservation
Society
did
just
let
me
know
that
they
would
withdraw
opposition
if
the
design
provides
those
states
that
no
portion
of
the
meant
to
the
roofline
will
be
demolished,
which
I
believe
was
touched
on
earlier.
Thank
you.
C

Thank
you
with
that.
May
I
have
a
second.

As
of
right
now,
we
would
like
this
store
to
provide
a
means
of
egress
to
our
third
floor
unit.
There
is
currently
a
window
that
leads
to
an
existing
deck
and
we
wish
to
replace
this
with
the
door.
We
purchased
this
property
about
16
months
ago,
as
is,
and
there's
an
existing
kitchen
bathroom
and
bedrooms
and
was
being
used
as
a
three-family
property.
BM
We
would
like
to
officially
change
that
occupancy
to
a
three
family
dwelling
with
the
addition
of
this
egress
I
had
updated
some
of
the
rendering
presentation,
but
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
showing
up
here.
What
we
were
showing
was
for
the
zoning
we
are
in
a
three
family
area
and
all
of
our
neighbors
next
to
us
are
also
three
family
dwellings.
BM
Some
of
them
actually
have
less
square
footage
within
us.
Our
property
exists
at
2500
square
feet,
whereas
our
neighbors,
two
or
three
families
are
about
2
000
square
feet.
I
know
this
was
a
concern.
Also.
We
have
a
plot
plan
amongst
a
material
here
that
shows
that
a
third
of
our
property
is
reserved
for
yard
and
garden
space.
I
hope
this
addresses
some
of
the
Green
Space
concerns.
BM
In
addition
to
the
concerns
about
the
parking,
we
unfortunately
cannot
add
parking,
but
don't
believe
that
there
will
be
an
impact
here
to
the
local
area.
As
again,
this
was
previously
used
as
a
three
family
property
before
we
purchased
it
and
we're
not
adding
any
additional
livable
space
or
bedrooms
or
more
people
who
would
be
driving
as
my
wife
and
I
own
our
occupy
this
property.
We
hope
to
fully
fully
move
into
this
unit
on
the
third
floor.
Pending
the
approval
of
this
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
If
there
are
one.
AP
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
Neighborhood
Services
this
time
mayor's
office
like
to
deferred
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board,
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
Ons
host
and
embodage
me
to
this
project
on
April,
18,
2023.
I
know
a
boner
is
intended
and
we're
unaware
of
any
concerns
at
this
time.
With
that
we'll
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
