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.

In
progress,
Madam
chair,
if
you
are
back
the
floor,
is
all
yours.
C
Okay!
Sorry
about
that,
let's
do
a
quick
roll
call
of
Mr
Stembridge.
D
F
F
F
F
So
this
is
the
zoning
code
refusal
the
the
two
issues
here
are
but
they're
the
building
has
been
used
as
a
non-conforming
use.
It
was
used
as
a
sort
of
warehouse
and
processing
facility
for
food
products
with
a
delivery
component.
They
are
asking
to
change
from
that
non-conforming
use
to
a
new
non-conforming
use,
which
is
a
cannabis
delivery.
The
second
issue
is,
it
is
less
than
half
a
mile
from
an
existing
medical
cannabis
facility.
F
Next
slide,
please
so
the
so
on
the
separation.
You
know
the
the
delivery
only
model
it
it
doesn't
have
any
retail
component.
It
doesn't
have
any
customers
showing
up
it,
doesn't
have
any
branding
or
signage
on
the
exterior
of
the
building.
So
it
is
really
going
to
be
almost
indistinguishable
from
the
from
the
prior
non-confu,
conforming
use,
which,
which
was
at
the
site.
F
It
really
is
not
going
to
implicate
any
of
the
concerns.
That
animated,
the
the
half
mile
separation
between
cannabis
businesses,
because
the
the
models
are
just
so
different.
It's
really
not
a
retail
establishment,
and
the
idea
is
that
that
passenger
vehicles
would
would
leave
the
site
a
couple
times
a
day.
Go
do
their
rounds
in
Boston,
Greater,
Boston
and
return
to
the
site.
F
One
of
the
features
of
this
property
that
make
it
so
attractive
to
this
business
is
that
we
are
able
to
do
all
deliveries
like
wholesale
deliveries
and
also
employee
parking
and
storage
of
their
delivery.
Fleet
inside
the
building,
There
is
almost
7
000
square
feet
of
parking
available
inside
the
building.
So
there's
not
going
to
be
any
increased
parking
demand
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
as
a
result
of
this
project.
Next
slide.
F
F
So
this
is
a.
This
is
a
floor
plan.
There's
going
to
be
storage
areas,
they're
able
to
accommodate
wholesale
delivery
inside
in
a
secure
area
off
the
street.
The
parking
and
vehicle
loading
can
take
place
inside
the
building.
It'll
be
secure,
storage
areas,
they've
got
a
a
security
consultant.
They
have
a
host
Community
agreement
with
the
city
of
Boston,
so
they've
been
through
that
process
they've
been
through
the
process
of
community
outreach
meetings.
They
have
the
support
of
the
McCormick
civic
association
next
slide.
Please.
F
It's
a
just
to
reiterate:
you
know
the
the
business
is
going
to
be
main
confined
to
the
actual
building.
There
really
shouldn't
be
any
visible
impacts
on
the
on
the
outside.
No,
you
know
product
no
branding,
no,
no
customers
lining
up
or
anything
like
that.
Next
slide.
Please.
F
There
was
a
traffic
report
commissioned
using
the
city's
technical
assistance
program,
fuss
and
O'neill
concluded
that
there's
really
going
to
be
a
negligible
impact
on
traffic.
The
the
delivery
model
that
they
use
is
is
not
it's
not
like
a
pizza
place
where
you're
going
back
and
forth
every
time.
There's
a
new
order.
The
the
vehicles
are
loaded.
F
They
leave
the
facility
once
or
twice
a
day
and
they're
out
for
for
hours
at
a
time,
and
then
they
come
back
so
they're
predicting
that
they're
going
to
be
24
vehicle
trips
per
day,
which
is
you
know,
would
be
a
barely
noticeable
impact
next
slide.
Please.
F
Again,
there's
no
unfinished
unpackaged
cannabis
products
and
there's
not
going
to
be
any
issue
with
smell.
All
loading
and
unloading
will
be
indoors
not
going
to
be
an
issue
there.
The
there
are
no
customers,
no
Public
Access,
there's
going
to
be
a
secure
location
without
any
of
the
impacts
from
from
an
in-person
retail
site.
Next
slide,
please.
F
This
is
a.
This
is
a
rendering
the
the
applicant
has
been
working
with
the
civic
association
and
the
and
the
mural
crew
to
come
up
with
a
mural
design
from
the
outside
of
the
building.
This
is
you
know
this
is
just
a
rendering
but
I
think
it's
going
to
be.
You
know
a
nice
addition
to
this
existing
building
in
the
neighborhood
and
and
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
from
the
board.
Thank.
C
You
what's
what's
there
currently
or
what
was
the
last
use
of
the
space
it.
F
Was
it
was
some
it
was?
It
was
related
to
food,
we
I
think
it
was
a
bakery
or
Bakery
product,
but
but
they
there
were
food
products
stored
on
site
and
they
were
and
they
would
be
out
for
delivery
using
delivery
trucks.
G
I
just
wanted
to
ask
if
the
proponent
already
have
approval
from
the
the
canary
sport.
F
So
so
they're
in
the
midst
of
that
the
the
they
they
have,
it
would
have
some
steps
to
go
through
after
they
get
zoning
approval,
I
think
so
so
that
that's
the
answer
is
they're
not
fully
approved,
yet
they
can't
get
fully
approved,
absent
zoning
approval,
but
they
have
been
through
the
process
once
for
their
Outlet
in
Wareham.
F
I'm,
sorry
so
so
the
the
Boston,
the
Boston
cannabis
board,
has
given
the
host
Community
agreement.
I
I
was
confusing
this
with
the
state
cannabis
Commission.
H
I
H
C
I
stepped
away,
Jeffrey
is
that
Jeff
Hampton.
K
L
Thank
you
just
good
afternoon,
Madam,
chair
members.
We
recommend
the
denial
on
this
because
it's
a
three
family
zoning
District
I,
know
from
living
in
the
neighborhood.
How
that
building's
been
for
years
and
I
know
it's
been
Industrial
and
Commercial,
but
it
is
still
a
very
hardcore
residential
zoning
District.
So
we
recommended
denial.
One
other
thing
that
was
brought
to
our
attention
on
the
refusal
letter
doesn't
say
anything
about
delivery.
It
just
says
that
it's
going
to
be
a
cannabis
establishment.
So
if
the
board
word
it
will
prove
it.
C
I
think
I
was
wondering
the
same
thing,
so
thanks
for
calling
that
out
any
other,
no
additional
raised
hands
any
other
questions
from
the
board.
N
E
Mr
Stembridge
no
Mr.
C
B
P
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
I
think
the
delivery
operator
use
is
appropriate.
Given
the
non-conforming
nature
of
the
property,
it
seems
to
operate
similarly
to
the
what
I
heard
described
as
like
a
bakery
wholesale
operation.
P
C
Okay,
Mr
Stembridge.
E
M
C
B
At
this
point,
since
two
motions
have
failed,
it
would
be
considered
denied.
Unless
someone
wants
to
put
a
motion,
do
you
want
denied
without
prejudice
but
right
now,
I
think
the
night
at
this
point.
E
Through
the
rediscussions
scheduled
for
11
30.
Q
You
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago
at
Dragoart
Toscano,
with
a
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street
here
on
behalf
of
the
owner
of
the
166
Chelsea
Street
Gabriel
castano,
and
the
applicant
and
I
also
had
David
Choi.
Who
is
the
attorney
on
the
project?
This
proposal
is
to
change
the
occupancy
from
an
existing
six
unit,
building
to
add
an
additional
top
floor
unit
for
the
owner
for
his
private
residence
to
a
seven
family
dwelling
to
also
renovate
the
structure.
Q
Yes
right
here!
This
is
an
overview
of
the
general
area.
You
can
see
the
red
highlighted
dot.
Is
the
existing
structure
behind
us
just
to
look
for
precedent?
Is
the
Paris
Flats
of
a
power
Street
apartment
complex,
that
is
a
four-story
multi-unit
30
unit
building
in
the
rear
directly
behind
us,
as
we
start
to
go
down
the
street
two
down
from
us
is
a
four-story
Condo
building
called
the
Paris
Flats.
Q
We
also
have
156
160
Chelsea
Street
245
Chelsea
Street,
that
was
recently
approved
for
a
similar
building
and
134
Chelsea
Street.
The
units
one
through
six
are
already
pre-existing
units.
This
fourth
floor
unit
would
be
a
three
bedroom.
It
would
be
1464
square
foot
unit
for
the
owner.
This
building
would
have
two
full
means
of
egress
sprinkler,
as
we've
worked
with
the
community,
as
well
as
the
Maverick
Central
neighborhood
association
to
get
their
support.
Q
We
agreed
that
the
top
floor
would
be
pulled
back
eight
feet
from
the
from
the
top
of
the
bay
and
would
also
be
pulled
in
two
foot
three
inches
on
either
side
of
the
building.
So
as
we
so
from
the
front
of
the
building,
the
Mastiff
would
be
lessened
by
pulling
it
back
so
it'll
be
15
feet
pulled
away
from
Chelsea
Street
just
to
go
over
some
of
the
violations
that
were
mentioned.
This
is
a
3F
District.
Although
there's
multi-family
residential
buildings
around
us,
so
the
seven
units
would
require
use
variants.
Q
We
at
our
highest
point
would
be
at
43
feet
by
inches,
so
we
would
need
height
variants
and
feet
and
in
stories
and
then
the
other
violations
like
parking
graveyard,
we're
not
changing
the
Contours
of
the
building
going
back
or
anything
additionally
on
the
sides,
all
of
the
other
violations
for
front
yard
and
rear
yard
arcing
would
be
pre-existing
violations.
We
are
also
just
a
minute
away
from
airport
T
Station,
making
this
a
great
commuter
building
as
well.
I
I
can
pause
to
answer
any
questions
of
the
board.
Man
thank.
C
M
Is
a
four-story
I'm
trying
to
find
the
address?
It's
called
Paris,
Flats,
okay,.
Q
That's
two
down
Miss
Peraza
so
directly
to
the
left
of
us.
That's
a
Condo
building!
That's
for
at
245
Chelsea,
it's
hard
to
see!
That's
recessed
I
actually
represented
a
client,
but
that
approved
about
a
year
ago
one
a
42,
Chelsea,
186,
Paris
189
power.
So
there
are
a
number
and
why
it's
a
little
misleading
as
they
all
have
a
pullback.
If
they're
going
to
have
the
fourth
one
so.
M
K
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
and
that's
how
everybody
took
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
our
office
hosting
the
butters
meeting
for
this
project
in
November,
10
2022.
Noah
butter
is
attended.
The
meeting
the
applicant
also
met
with
Maverick
Central
neighbor
Association
in
December
and
January
of
this
year.
The
group
voted
in
support
of
this
project
and
at
this
time
our
office
would
like
to
refer
all
judgment
to
the
court.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
S
M
C
E
T
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Richard
Lynn's
245
Sumner,
Street,
East
Boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
for
the
practice
of
184
cover
Street.
If
we
can
jump
ahead
to
the
third
slide,
that's
probably
a
good
place
to
start
so
I
can
at
least
Orient
the
members
with
some
context
for
the
area.
Madam
chair
this
site
will
involve
the
combination
of
two
lots.
When
those
lots
are
combined,
the
total
square
footage
would
be
over
15
000
square
feet,
which
is
close
to
four
times.
T
The
minimum
lot
size
for
this
District
I
say
that
in
the
importance
of
laying
that
out,
first
for
the
name
for
the
for
the
board
is
to
also
point
out
some
of
the
surrounding
contexts
from
the
area.
As
you
can
see
off
the
distance,
those
are
the
top
of
a
photo
that
is
the
Constitution
Beach.
That
is
our
nearest
Empire
to
the
rear.
To
our.
O
T
T
Perhaps
one
more
slide
would
be
helpful,
yeah.
So.
T
Sits
on
the
first
lot,
a
lot
immediately
adjacent
to
it
would
be
combined
as
I
mentioned,
that
it's
a
little
over
15
000
square
feet
when
put
together.
Our
proposal
would
be
for
a
seven
unit,
multi-family
dwelling
on
this
site.
Now
we
fully
understand
that
this
site
is
located
in
2f
4000
District,
but
as.
T
The
combining
of
these
Lots
we
would
result
in
a
lot
that
exceeds
what
the
allowable
density
is.
Essentially,
for
this
neighborhood,
a
2f
4
000
district
contemplates
one
unit
for
every
two
thousand
square
feet
at
seven
units.
We
feel
that
we
are
below
what
the
density
would
be
had
the
configuration.
V
T
Know
enough
Frontage
on
Carper
street,
because
it's
a
somewhat
odd
shape,
we're
only
able
to
orient
our
building
a
certain
way
and
that's
why
we're
proposing
this
in
seven
unit
dwelling
leaving
the
next
slide,
please
just
a
different
view
of
calipers
you're
coming
down
to
the
dead
end.
The
left-hand
side
is
the
building
that
would
be
raised
with
the
new
building
being
proposed
on
the
site
next
slide.
Please
so.
J
T
Most
importantly-
and
this
is
based
in
large
part,
upon
comments
that
we
did
here
through
the
community
process,
four
of
these
units
will
be
actually
three
bedrooms
and
two
of
the
three
of
the
units
will
be
two
bedrooms.
The
reason
for
that
is
the
comments
that
we
do
here
is
that
the
goal
was
to
see
as
many
family
size
units
being
incorporated
into
a
project
like
this
for
this
residential
neighborhood.
So
the
change
in
the
project
actually
resulted
in
a
reduction
of
the
units.
T
T
More
importantly,
with
respect
to
issues
such
as
planning
spots
and
things
that
are
happening
in
and
around
the
community,
we
occupying
only
21
to
the
footprint
of
this
building
is,
is
21
lot
coverage,
which
leaves
us
about
five
thousand
square
feet
of
usable
open
space
that
we
intend
to
keep
as
common
area
for
this
building,
which
is
intended
for
home
ownership
as
well.
So
these
would
be
seven
condo
units
with
a
substantial
amount
of
open
space
and
limited
impact
on
our
Butters,
both
left
and
rear
to
the
property.
T
If
we
can
scroll
down
to
the
next
slide,
please
these
are
just
some
3D
views
showing
the
orientation
of
the
back
of
the
building
in
the
front
of
the
building
the
comparisons.
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
change
again
is
to
try
to
pull
those
decks
in
to
create
a
little
bit
more
privacy
for
Neighbors
surrounding
Neighbors
in
the
area.
If
we
want
to
go
down
to
slide
15,
that's
our
site
plan
I
think
that's
an
important
place
to
stop
off
next.
T
Right
here
is
perfect,
so
we
are
also
proposing,
as
you
can
see
on
the
layout
here,
we
do
combine
the
Lots.
There
is
a
total
of
16
parking
spaces.
I
know
the
board.
May
react
to
that
way.
To
say
that's.
Certainly,
a
lot
of
parking
Again
part
of
the
concern
that
we
do
here
in
this
neighborhood
is
that
parking
is
a
concern,
is
an
issue,
and
since
we
do
have
a
substantial
amount
of
space
on
the
site,
we
were
able
to
accommodate
some
of
the
comments
and
concerns
that
we
did
here
from
the
neighborhood.
T
So
in
doing
so,
we
created
a
total
of
16
spaces
and,
as
you
can
see,
towards
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
a
substantial
amount
of
buffering
between
us
and
our
direct
divider
to
our
left,
so
I
believe,
is
on
the
call
who
we've
worked
very
closely
with
in
getting
to
have
support
for
this
particular
project.
You
can
also
see
the
relationship
of
the
other
Green
Space
that
is
around
the
building,
including
all
that
area
that
will
remain
is
common.
T
When
it
comes
to
the
relief
that's
necessary,
we've
tried
to
design
this
building
in
a
way
that
respects
the
current
Zone,
but
also
plans
for
futures
out
into
the
area.
The
first
variants
that
we
do
require,
however,
is
free
use
being
a
2f
4000
District.
This
is
considered
a
multi-family
use
and
therefore
would
require
require
relief,
but,
as
you
can
see,
even
though
we
do
meet
the
frontage
requirement,
the
orientation
of
the
lot
would
not
allow
for
us
to
subdivide
this
light
into
buildable
separate
Lots.
T
So
instead
we
are
foreclosing
this
as
a
single
building
and
again
being
the
density
to
this
area
being
2
000
square
feet
for
each
unit
we
would
be
under
with
the
allowable
density
would
be.
In
addition,
the
rear
yard
setback
typically
in
this
district
is
40
feet.
However,
we
are
setting
it
back.
It
looks
like
about
11,
maybe
a
little
over
11
feet
to
our
rear
decks
off
of
the
back.
Our
butter
to
the
rear
is
Constitution
Beach.
There
is
no
other
residential
property
that
could
ever
be
contemplated
back
there.
T
That
is
a
state-owned
conservation
in
Parkland
behind
us.
So
while
we
do
I
come
a
little
bit
closer
to
the
rear
property,
as
would
be
normal
for
this
District,
we
aren't
impacting
any
other
property
to
our
to
our
rear,
and
what
that's
also
allowed
us
to
do
is
to
push
our
building
a
little
further.
T
Site
which
again
was
to
address
some
concerns
of
our
Direct
deputter
on
cover
Street
that
would
be
adjacent
to
our
parking
area
with
respect
to
the
height
of
our
building,
and
we
could
probably
jump
back
a
few
slides
to
our
elevations.
T
The
zoning
District
actually
go
forward.
Here
we
go
perfect.
The
zoning
District
actually
allows
for
a
35-foot
height
limit
which
we're
at
so
the
peak
of
our
building
is
at
35
feet.
However,
from
a
design
standpoint,
the
the
zoning
code
says
that
they
cannot
be
more
than
2.5
stories.
T
I
think
Adam
has
done
a
pretty
good
job
of
trying
to
capture
some
of
the
press
that
we
do
see
in
the
area
with
the
pitched
roof.
So,
even
though
this
is
considered
to
be
a
three-story
building
the
design
elements
that
were
included,
which
are
trying
to
reflect
some
of
the
two
and
a
half
story
that
we
do
see
around
the
area,
we
pretty
much
meet
all
of
the
other
requirements
of
the
current
zoning.
As
I
mentioned,
the
open
space
for
the
site
is
about
5
000
square
feet.
T
That's
about
715,
almost
120
square
feet
per
unit.
They
do
have
outdoor
bopping
space
and
decks,
and
we
certainly
would
incorporate
a
lot
of
common
area
for
the
sort
of
building
itself.
With
respect
to
parking.
The
only
requirement
is
that
we
would
have
12
spaces
out
of
the
code.
We
are
providing
16
again
because
we
do
have
the
availability
to
do
that.
Certainly
willing
to
listen
to
the
board's
comments,
as
it
relates
to
any
parking
configurations
or
additional
Landscaping
that
would
be
would
be
needed
with
that.
C
Thank
you,
Mr
Owens,
just
to
confirm.
When
did
you
change
from
eight
to
seven?
It's
just
noted
as
seven
in
the
notice.
T
Yeah,
so
that
was
some
time
I
believe
earlier
this
year
the
updated
plans
would
have
been
filed
with
with
ISD
and
then
brought
over
to
the
board,
got
it.
C
Okay
hearing
none
can
I
open
it
up
to
public
testimony.
K
Good
afternoon
I'm
chair
members
of
the
foreign
office
of
Neighborhood,
Services
ons,
hosted
various
Butters
meeting
for
this
project.
The
latest
Butters
meeting
took
place
on
October
5th,
2022
Butters
liked
the
design
and
the
family
friendly
size
of
the
units,
but
they
also
expressed
concerns
regarding
the
size
of
the
building
itself
and
potential
loss
of
parking.
The
applicant
also
Network
Harbor
View
neighborhood
association.
The
group
quoted
two
polls
with
42
residents
against
and
one
in
favor.
They
expressed
this
content
with
the
size
of
the
building.
K
E
S
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Sebastian,
para
I'm,
the
East
Boston
liaison
for
City
concerts,
and
we
understand
that
proponent
has
more
diligently
to
come
down
in
scale
height
in
unit
count
to
the
point
that
there
is
one
about
it:
who's
in
favor
of
the
project.
We
respect
that
work
in
the
opinion
of
their
water.
Nonetheless,
other
borders
on
this
street
have
concerns
about
this
parcel.
S
Turning
into
a
seven
unit
dwelling
in
comparison
with
other
homes
in
the
community
and
we're
playing
his
Boston
coming
down
the
pike
respectfully,
we
do
not
think
that
this
project
is
aligned
with
the
scale
on
this
particular
Street
or
wood.
Plane
is
Boston,
therefore
concert
I
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
a
position
of
this
project.
Thank
you.
Thank.
V
K
Phillip,
can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record,
tell
us
of
your
support
opposition?
Yes,.
W
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
my
name
is
Philip
Ranger
40
I
live
at
178
conference
street
I'm
direct
about
I
mean
my
wife.
We
were
opposed
to
it
at
the
beginning,
but
we
worked
very
diligently
with
the
training
lens
and
the
owners
of
the
of
the
new
property.
W
We
support
it
and
we
don't
oppose
it
and
the
thing
that
you
know
they
met
all
the
demands
with
pushing
it
back.
Hocking
packing's,
a
big
thing,
I
think
we
need
the
16
parking
spots
because
of
the
neighborhood.
It
is
a
dead
end,
Street
and
parking's
very
tight
down
there.
So
having
those
16
pocket
spaces
is
is
big
for
us,
so
we
are
in
favor
and
pause.
Thank.
C
L
We
still
think
that
building
is
too
big,
even
with
just
the
reduction
to
seven
units
we
recommended
to
now
without
registered
Industries.
L
T
You,
madam
chair,
if
I
can
just
briefly
respond
and
I
understand,
we
are
if
I
may
yes,
sir
I
I
understand
we
are
in
transition
and
I
know
that
the
plan
is
Boston.
Conversation
you
know
pretty
much
you
know
is
is
is
what
everybody
is
relying
upon
at
this
point.
T
This
lot,
when
combined
is
a
15
000
square
foot
lot
would
certainly
be
unique
in
relation
to
all
of
the
other
Lots
in
and
around
this
particular
area.
It's
it's
as
I
said
four
times,
I
mean
four
times
the
size
of
what
the
minimum
lot
size
is
currently,
and
you
know
for
the
density
at
2
000
square
feet
per
unit.
You
know
we're
at
seven
units
which
would
be
about
14
000
square
feet
in
the
current
zoning
I.
Don't
anticipate
Lenny's
Boston
to
be
you
know,
reducing
density.
T
You
know
if
anything,
it'd
be
increasing
density
throughout
the
neighborhood,
so
I
understand
all
the
concerns
with
ladies
Boston,
but
we
also
have
that
in
mind
when
taken
into
consideration
things
like
coverage
and
open
space,
and
in
this
particular
case
we
feel
that
you.
T
Other
projects,
I've
done
you
know,
would
certainly
yield
a
proposal
of
a
much
greater
scale.
We
wanted
to
be
sensitive
to
that,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we've
limited
this
to
a
seven
unit
building
got
stuck
within
three
bedrooms,
because
that
was
important.
The
neighborhood
you
know
and
obviously
opted
for
home
ownership
with
a
good
amount
of
open
space,
so
I
just
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
board-
you
know
understands
that
not
every
case
just
because
playing
these
bosses
is
looming
in
the
background
you
know,
isn't
take
into
consideration.
T
We
feel
that
you
know
neighborhood
residential
50.
This
would
be
very
consistent
with
those
plans
if
they're
adopted,
ultimately
by
the.
M
Bpda
another
question
for
clarifications.
Of
course,
the
far
am
I
reading
it
correctly
required
as
0.8,
but
your
proposal
is
actually
0.63
is.
That
is.
Is
that
correct
that.
T
That's
incomplete
yes,
this
Braza
through.
U
T
P
T
Great
great
question:
I
think
that
part
of
the
original
plan
looked
at.
You
know,
reorienting
parking
at
a
different
portion
of
the
lot
I
think
we
would
meet
up
a
lot
more
open
space.
This
this
area
for
parking
you
know,
requires
the
least
amount
of
I
guess:
lack
of
control,
at
least
on
the
driveway,
to
get
to
a
different
portion
of
the
site
for
where
we
want
to
put
the
building
the
directive
butter
to
our
left,
who
did
speak,
you
know
had
raised
those
concerns
as
well.
T
That's
why
we
have
a
pretty
substantial
landscape
buffering
in
between
his
property
operating,
certainly
willing
to
look
at.
You
know
additional
BPD
design
review
for
that
parking.
T
T
There's
a
tree
to
the
rear
of
a
property
that
we
I
do
believe
we
share
with
the
director
butter,
we're
you
know,
happy
to
preserve
or
happy
to
prune
or
happy
to
do
what
works
best,
because
I
think
it
is
somewhat
of
a
nuisance
to
the
butter
on
the
left.
I
think
that
that's
the
only
tree,
that's
in
question,
that's
the
one
closest
to
the
MBTA
right-of-way
I.
M
P
I
want
more,
can
you
speak
to
the
main
entrance
that
it's
we.
T
I'm
not
sure
if
we
can
jump
back
to
our
site
plan,
but
I
think
just
understand
the
orientation
of
the
lot
we
have
where
we,
where
we've
located
the
driveway
to
come
onto
the
property
you
know,
is
essentially
what
I
would
argue
the
front
facing
portion
of
power.
Street
I
mean.
However,
then
you
know
the
property.
T
A
90
degree
turn
at
the
dead
end,
so
we
would
have
to
orient
the
building
in
a
way
either
to
face
caliper
street
with
that
front
entrance
or
create
some
sort
of
arrangement
with
a
yeah
there.
We
go
our
creative
front
entrance
on
that
right,
side
of
the
building
behind
parking
space
12.
T
and
that's
probably
not
going
to
be
a
very
good
design
again.
These
are
things
that
we
can
certainly
willing
to
address
as
part
of
design
review,
but
I
feel
that
that's
the
only
option
here
based
upon
the
shape
of
this
lot,
that
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
have
a
straight
head-on
unless
we
move
the
building.
You
know.
M
A
different
way
and
put
the
apartment
behind
you,
yeah
Katie,
to
resolve
the
issue
of
entrance.
If
you
were
to
get
rid
of
the
four
parking
spaces
that
are
kind
of
right
next
to
each
other
to
the
left,
you
can
actually
push
the
parking
spaces
down
and
create
a
connection
or
a
walkway,
but
the
idea
would
be
that
you
should
have
a
connection
from
the
front
to
your
entry.
M
So
I
think
it's
really
about
site
planning
yeah
to
to
let
people
know
where
your
front
door
is.
W
W
D
C
Thank
you,
okay.
Was
that
additional
those
additional
clarifications
can
we
have
a
motion.
M
Forward
you're,
just
gonna
have
to
be
a
little
patient
with
me
in
terms
of
the
Proviso,
but
so
I
I
think
the
the
property
is
like
four
times
larger
in
terms
of
the
zoning.
M
For
the
lot
so
putting
forth
seven
unit,
I
would
say
is
a
good
amount
in
terms
of
density
is
actually
lower
than
the
far
that's
required.
So
I'm,
okay,
with
the
seven
that's
proposed
and
consolidating
these
units
should
allow
for
more
open
area,
and
so
with
that,
I
am
advocating
that
for
seven
residential
units,
12
spaces
should
be
sufficient,
not
16.
So
I'm
advocating
to
remove
four
of
the
parking
spaces
to
the
left
to
allow
that
to
be
more
open,
Green
Space
for
the
unit.
E
In
terms
of
what
I
know
of
the
area
as
people
speaking
not
for
the
way
that
is
designed,
excuse
me
in
the
parking
I
I
do
believe.
That's
I
do
believe.
That's
that's
important.
O
I
also
say
no
due
to
the
director
about
it
and
as
far
as
Green
Space
I
do
see,
you
know
open
space
owned
by
the
city
right
there
with
a
lot
of
green
space
in
the
area.
So
there
is
green
space
in
the
area.
G
C
You
always
leave
it
up
to
Sherry
I
agree
with
Mr
Stembridge
and
Mr
Shepard
I
think
the
applicant
has
worked
closely
with
us
about
her
around
various
issues
and
you
know
there
is
green
space
in
the
area
and
I.
Think
parking
is
important,
so
I
also
vote.
No,
so
the
motion
does
not
carry
and
we
need
another
motion.
O
Have
another
motion
Mr
chair?
Yes,
it's
hard
to
make
a
motion
for
approval
with
bpda
design
review.
C
Got
it
Miss
better
Braza.
X
Yes,
Mr
secretary
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Ryan
Spitz,
with
Adams
and
moranti
business
address
of
168th
Street
first
floor
South
Boston
joining
me
today
is
the
architect
Tim
Johnson
Madam
chair.
Our
revised
plans
triggered
a
building
code
refusal
for
the
proposed
vertical
lift
for
handicap
access
to
a
full
story.
We
will
be
seeking
the
variance
through
the
state,
but
I
wanted
to
be
sure
to
add
this
to
the
record.
So
there
is
no
confusion
with
ISD
with
that
being
said,
Madam
chair,
that
was
the
boy.
X
This
is
a
proposal
to
combine
free,
Parcels,
185,

183,
E
Street
164
West,
9th
Street,
with
a
total
loss
size
of
approximately
3
357
square
feet
to
erect
a
new
four
unit.
Three-Story
multi-family
residential
dwelling
with
six
below
grade
off
street
parking
spaces.
I
just
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
page
six
of
the
plans
here,
right,
yep,
perfect,
so
Vehicles.
X
Building
off
of
West
9th
Street
and
buy
an
11
foot
wide
driveway,
which
will
lead
to
the
below
grade
parking,
approximately
about
five
feet
will
have
to
be
dug
below
gray
to
accommodate.
We
are
located
within
a
multi-family
residential
sub
District.
If
I
could
direct
your
attention
to
page
13,
please
parking
level
will
contain
eight
spaces,
ranging
from
two
spaces
eight
by
eighteen,
two
spaces,
seven
by
sixteen
in
another
two
spaces:
seven
by
eighteen,
which
resulted
in
a
parking
violation,
a
design
violation.
X
There
will
also
be
a
wheelchair
lift
access,
as
well
as
a
trash
storage,
bike
storage
and
a

will
consist
of
a
three
bedroom
living
dining
in
a
two
and
a
half
bath
units.
X
Four
will
be
approximately
1492
square
feet
located
on
part
of
the
second
floor
and
third,
it
will
also
consist
of
a
three
bedroom
living
dining
and
a
two
and
a
half
bath.
You'll
notice
from
the
rear
units.
Two
and
four
will
have
small
small
balconies
located
in
the
rear
of
the
building
approximately
67
square
feet.
The
roof
plan
will
consist
of
Mechanicals
only
with
bulkhead
access.
X
As
for
the
violations,
you'll
notice,
there's
a
violation
for
height
as
height
being
the
proposed
is
35
feet
which
is
under
what
is
required
by
honorable
68.
However,
since
the
existing
structure
is
being
demolished,
the
max
height
allowed
is
at
that
height
of
26
feet
again,
height
is
compliant
under
article
68.
X
If
I
could
draw
your
attention
to
page
nine
and
Page
11,
those
will
show
views
of
the
actual
property
in
existence,
and
this
this
view
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
now
is
the
actual
elevations
compared
to
the
right
side
into
the
more
recently
approved
project.
On
the
left
hand,
side
as
you'll
see
from
the
right
that
is
a
building
of
a
four-story
building.
X
We
also
have
a
rear
yard
setback
violation.
Here
the
requirement
is
15
feet.
The
existing
structure
in
its
place
now
is
less
than
three
feet
to
the
property
line.
We're
actually
going
to
increase
that
setback
by
approximately
will
be
three
feet
from
the
property
line.
With
the
new
proposed
building,
there
was
also
a
violation
for
the
front
yard,
but
it's
my
opinion.
This
was
given
an
error,
as
the
violation
is
for
window
designs,
projecting
into
the
front
yard.
At
the
second
and
third
stories,
there's
no
such
violations
as
stated
to
govern
air
rights.
X

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
Anna
white,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
ons,
has
hosted
two
of
utter's
meetings
for
185
E
Street,
the
most
recent
one
being
held
on
May,
2nd
2023..
The
proponent
made
changes
to
the
proposed
building
based
on
community
feedback.
They
reduced
the
number
of
units
it
reworked
and
removed
some
of
the
balconies.
There
are
around
a
dozen
of
others
at
the
second
meeting
and
they
were
all
still
in
opposition
to
the
proposal.
Y
Their
main
objections
were
the
size
of
the
building
and
the
underground
parking
ons
has
received
a
petition
from
Avatar,
so
45
signatures
in
opposition.
The
Cityside
neighborhood
association
does
not
support
this
project,
as
it
is
currently
proposed
at
this
time,
you'd
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
V
President
Flynn
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
based
on
feedback
from
Neighbors
in
the
city
Side
neighborhood
association.
There
was
a
good
Community
process
and
meeting
with
neighbors
to
work
on
multiple
iterations
of
the
project.
However,
neighbors
are
better
than
the
Civic
group
continue
to
call
attention
to
Quality
of
Life
issues
such
as
concerns
about
the
bedroom
count
and
exacerbating
the
existing
parking
issues
in
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you.

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
and
board
members
I'm
Bill
Davis,
one
77
181,
E
Street.
My
property
of
butts
is
a
filming
project
on
two
sides
and
I
oppose
this
project
based
upon
the
proximity
of
the
driveway,
which
is
going
to
be
one
foot
of
my
building
Foundation
into
an
underground
parking
garage.
Z
They
have
not
addressed
the
about
us
concerns
on
this
project.
It's
the
size
of
the
building,
the
bedroom
count
the
underground
parking
spaces,
the
lot
line,
Windows
balconies,
Green,
Space,
drama
water
issues
that
exist
in
the
area,
and
basically
there
are
five
about
us,
direct
the
butters
to
this
development
that
have
the
name
on
that
petition.
Closing
this
project
as
it's
as
it
stands.
Thank
you
because
there's
others
that
would
like
to
speak.
That
Couldn't
log
on,
if
possible,
if
you're
great
at
the
bulb
and
Grant
them
permission
to
speak.
Z
AA
D
R
A
Me
yes,
go
ahead
hi,
so
this
is
Marie
Brady
I'm,
a
direct
butter
and
that's
168,
West,
9th
Street,
so
I'm
at
the
rear
of
the
proposal.
Building
right
now,
I
have
several
problems
with
the
building.
The
building
is,
as
some
people
mentioned,
it's
too
big,
but
the
big
thing
that
nobody's
really
mentioned
is
the
15
foot
setback.
That's
supposed
to
be
in
the
back
of
that
building,
which
my
building
looks
onto
where
the
balconies
are
proposed.
A
R
R
R
C
C
AA
Hi,
sorry,
you
had
started
when
the
second
Davis
opinion
was
voice.
My
name
is
Mike
Del
Negro
I
live
at
150
West
9th
Street,
which
is
across
the
street,
basically
from
the
proposed
building.
I.
Think
that
a
couple
of
the
points
that
attorney
Spence
noted
that
our
concern
to
me
is
the
setbacks
and
the
height
variances.
The
existing
building
fits
nicely
with
the
character
of
the
neighborhood,
which
is
both
well-maintained
and
smaller
unit,
size,
buildings
or
single-family
homes.
AA
The
26
height
foot,
26
foot
pipe
requirement
with
the
existing
building
I
think
is
appropriate
to
maintain
and
not
consider
the
article
68
height
development,
considering
that
the
building
adjacent
to
it,
the
Davis
family's
home,
is
only
marginally
a
four-story
building
and
further
the
only
adjacent
building
that
I
think
has
such
height
be
set
back.
Also,
I
think
is
important
to
consider,
considering
that
the
impact
to
the
neighborhood
is
significant,
as
we
start
to
lose
Green
Space.
AA
R
C
Okay,
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
M
I
like
to
put
forward
emotion
of
denial
without
prejudice
due
to
Community
opposition.
G
R
E
AB
President,
yes
Mr
stanbridge.
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
George
Morenci
I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
at
350,
West
Broadway
in
South
Boston
I
represent
Thomas
Noto,
the
proponent
of
the
development
project
at
48-50,
coloring
Street.
The
site
consists
of
two
Parcels,
which
will
be
combined
into
a
new
lot
of
5249
square
feet.
Being
proposed
is
a
new
six-story
building
to
contain
14
dwelling
units
with
seven
garage
parking
spaces.
The
zoning
district
is
a
B1
General
business
district.
Under
the
1964
base
zoning
code.
AB
This
matter
was
deferred
in
order
to
allow
for
a
continuation
of
conversations
with
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
about
the
Project's,
affordable
housing
component.
One
of
the
two
parcel
tiers
Bound
by
a
city
of
Austin,
open
space,
deed
restriction
on
May
4th.
We
were
officially
notified
by
Chief
Dylan
that
the
Restriction
will
be
released
in
return
for
a
higher,
affordable
commitment
from
the
project.
To
that
end,
my
client
will
be
providing
three
IDP
units,
two
at
70
Ami
and
one
at
60
Ami
representing
a
21
affordability
commitment.
AB
The
ground
floor
of
the
building
in,
as
could
be
seen
here
in
this
slide,
would
consist
of
a
partly
open
garage
for
the
parking
of
seven
Motor
Vehicles,
along
with
the
bicycle
storage
room,
main
building
entry
on
Ellery
Street
and
trash
and
recycling
room
utility
rooms
and
the
building's
elevator
and
stairway
course.
AB
AB
Scrolling
down
the
sixth
floor,
which
would
be
set
back
approximately
10
feet
in
the
front
would
consist
of
two
two
bedroom
units
of
994
and
1088
square
feet.
The
roof
would
be
occupied
only
by
HVAC
equipment,
an
elevator
override
a
periphery
space
for
a
possible
solar
panel
and
a
hatch
for
maintenance
access
to
the
roof,
as
can
be
seen
on
the
front
elevation.
AB
If
we
scroll
down
a
bit,
the
building
has
been
designed
to
match
the
height
of
the
adjacent
64-18
unit,
building
at
44
Ellery
Street,
which
was
approved
by
this
board
in
February
of
last
year
and
is
now
under
construction
buildings.
Materials
would
be
masonry
with
the
bay
finished
in
a
composite
panel
and
lap
siding,
subject,
of
course,
to
bbda
design
review.
AB
The
plan
set
continuing
down
shows
to
build
explore
elevations,
as
well
as
a
number
of
renderings
showing
the
building
and
locational
context.
The
zoning
relief
is
required
for
insufficient
off-screen
parking.
As
the
city's
preference
for
residential
projects
and
such
close
proximity
to
Rapid
Transit
ranges
from
none
to
minimal
at
this
location,
which
is
approximately
four
minutes
walking
distance
to
the
mbta's
Andrew
Redline
station.
AB
Both
parking
ratio
is
0.57
spaces
being
proposed
for
the
14
units.
The
other
is
owning.
Violations
are
dimensional
and
reflects
only
requirements
originally
set
in
1964..
Their
variance
is
required
for
excessive
floor
area
ratio.
One
is
the
maximum
under
zoning,
where
a
3.5
is
being
composed,
insufficient
lot
size
which,
as
I
noted,
is
5249
square
feet,
excessive
Building
height
and
stories
and
feet
at
six
stories
and
60
feet
versus
the
three
stories
at
40
feet:
Allowed
by
zoning,
insufficient
usable,
open
space
and
insufficient
side
and
rear
yard
setbacks.
AB
That's
an
excellent
question
and
frankly
would
be
I
guess
as
needed
in
terms
of
when
the
units
are
leased
and
whether
the
lessee
has
the
need
for
a
motor
vehicle
parking
space.
I
think
the
bbda
may
have
even
emergency
less
parking
here.
It
is
very,
very
close
to
Andrew
Redline
and
it
would
be
attractive
to
a
mix
of
residents.

Good
afternoon
Madam

members
of
the
board,
I'm
Anna

hosted
an
abutters
meeting
for
48
Ellery

on
October
12
2022..
The
proponent
answered
all
questions
at
the
time
two
of
letters
expressed
their
support
for
the
project.
The
membership
of
the
underscore
civic
association
voted
to
support
this
proposal
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
judgment
to

board.
Thank
you
so
much.

On

respectfully
requests
that
the

Good
afternoon
again,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Richard
Lynn's
business,
address
at
245,
Summer,
Street,
East
Boston
on
behalf
of
the
homeowners
Eric
and
Kim
sembrano
Madam,
chair
real
briefly.
This
was
before
the
board
previously,
where
the
change
of
use
and
occupancy
for
the
entire
building
from
three
to
four
units
and
some
modifications
to
the
rear
decks.
My
clients
have
abandoned
the
plans
for
the
change
of
occupancy,
which
was
already
approved
and
have
reconfigured
the
rear
deck.
T
V
T
A
slide
10
I'm
trying
to
make
this
as
brief
as
possible,
it's
again
relatively
straightforward,
so
our
site
plan
is
here
showing
the
existing
non-conforming
structure
with
a
20-foot
by
about
57.5
foot
lot,
because
this
is
considered
a
shallow
lot.
We
are
eligible
for
a
lot
exception
of
rear
yard
setback,
which
would
reduce
the
rear
guide
to
about
10
feet,
we're
at
about
9.8
feet.
As
you
can
see
here,
the
current
decks
are
14.8
feet.
T
I
do
have
some
elevations
for
the
next
slides,
but
the
rear
yard
setback
is
the
violation
that
would
be
involved
to
this
appeal:
same
violation
for
the
previous
PL
that
was
approved,
as
well
as
the
usable
open
space,
because
we
are
reconfiguring
the
decks
themselves
and
they're
already
using
sufficient
usable
open
space
for
the
property.
That
violation
also
gets
re-triggered
for
purpose
of
this
appeal.
If
we
can
scroll
down
to
the
next
slide,
we
show
the
existing
conditions.

we
see
on

the

based
on

Taking

go
on
a
position
of
this

Thank
you.
T
G
C
AC
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
This
is
the
parking
lot
across
the
street
from
the
Brook
courthouse
Hattie
corner
to
the
new
State
Street
building.
This
was
a
open-air
parking
lot
run
by
the
Franken
Leo
Pagano,
since
1956
continuous
use
until
the
pandemic,
when
the
paganos
retired
and
the
last
parking
took
over
the
operation
of
the
of
the
parking
lot,
there
are
no
changes
proposed.
Recently,
trees
were
planted,
metal
fencing
was
added,
bpda
approved
everything.
AC
That's
there
now,
unfortunately
been
asked
to
come
back
every
two
years
to
ask
for
permission
to
continue
to
use
the
parking
lot.
I've
been
parking
there
for
48
years
myself.
I
continue
to
work
there.
It's
in
continuous
use,
no
changes,
we're
asking
we're
asking
to
have
the
conditional
use
extended
without
any
Sunset
Proviso.
At
this
point
in
time.
It's
the
de
facto
only
parking
lot
for
the
Brook
courthouse
and
with
all
the
new
construction
there
with
the
new
Paving,
the
new
lines,
removing
the
toilets
and
putting
up
new
lighting
it.
AC
G
Yes,
get
some
trees.
How
many
trees
have
you
planted.
AC
Don't
really
think
think
it's
it
it's
within
in
in
upper
operatable
observance,
it's
it
just,
wouldn't
work
to
find
more
trees
around
the
parking
lot.
Thank
you.

They
didn't
meet
with
the
Toyota
North

the
West

civic
association
in
which
they
did
receive
a
letter
of
support
from
both
of
those
groups,

like
to
just
afford

with
us
this
afternoon,
Phil

This
is
a
request
to
remove
a

which
was
on
this
location,
which
was
previously
a
cafe
Nero,
a
Newbury

the
block
between
Exeter
and
Fairfield.

The
applicant
would
like
to
occupy
the
space
for
a
very
similar
purpose,
food

beverage,
and
there
would
seek
to
remove
the
Proviso,
which
was
attributed
to
Cafe

other
than
that
there
is
really
nothing
else.

we're
doing

and
after
the
positive
meeting
was
Dad,
we
were
not
required
to
conduct
the
butters
meeting
and
again
literally
other
than
removing
the
Proviso
there's.
No
other
change
suggested
by
this
application.
N
Yes,
hello,
Madam,
chair
members
of
the
board,
Maggie
van
scoy
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
the
Judgment
of
the
board
we
actually
did
hold
in
a
Butters
meeting
for
this
proposal.
A
couple
of
Butters
at
that
meeting
raised
concerns
about
this
particular
restaurant,
adding
to
rodent
and
litter
problems
in
the
alley.
Caponera
didn't
do
that,
because
a
lot
of
their
things
were
pre-packaged.
This
would
have
a
kitchen.
N
U
E
R
I
E
Very
much
you're
welcome
the
next
and
last
two
are
companion
cases
and
the
first
being
case
boa.
AD
Yes,
good
afternoon,
I'm
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Michael
Chavez
I'm,
the
architect
and
representative
for
Mr
Rosado,
Solis
who's,
the
owner
and
also
with
me,
is
Derek
Thomas.
The
general
contract
on
the
project.
Mr
lease
participated
a
few
years
back
in
dnds,
which
is
now
moh
exploration
of,
doing
detest,
accessory
dwelling
units
as
part
of
a
workshopping
process.
They
did
in
several
neighborhoods
throughout
the
process.
AD
She
was,
you
know,
exploring
the
idea
of
converting
her
existing
one-story
car
garage
into
an
accessory
unit
to
the
house
that
she
owns
now,
which
is
an
existing
tube
family
and
she
decided
to
move
forward
with
permitting
on
that
process.
Once
we
came
out
of
that
workshop
with
with
the
city,
so
with
that
she
had
to
apply
essentially
for
two
applications.
One
of
those
was
for
the
existing
house
to
allow
another.
AD
You
know
dwelling
unit
on
the
property,
because
the
city
of
Boston
does
not
currently
have
a
detached
Adu
program
and
then
the
other
application
is
then
for
the
actual
garage
itself
and
the
conversion
of
that
to
a
livable
space.
The
garage
design
is
a
Studio
unit,
again
sits
at
the
back
of
the
driveway
and
will
be
connected
utility
wise
to
the
main
house.
So
all
sewer
water
and
electricity
will
be
connected
to
the
main
house,
as
an
accessory
unit
would
be
adjacent
to
the
property.
AD
Is
a
VFW,
so
she's
got
some
a
letter
permission
to
have
a
fire
truck
access
from
that
side
of
the
expense
if
they
needed
to
have
access
to
that.
To
that
building
for
any
reason
and
the
rest
of
the
driveway
would
be
used
as
standard
parking
spaces
as
it
currently
is
being
used
now
and
I
I'm,
not
sure
if
this
is
the
old,
the
original
submission
Earth.
This
is
the
updated
version,
but
again
it's
a
studio,
existing
empty
garage
and
we'll
be
convert
it
into
a
yeah.
AD
This
is
the
updated
person
yeah
so
again,
a
Studio
unit,
kitchenette
bathroom
small
sleeping,
slash,
living
area
deciding
to
match
the
existing
house
being
tomorrow,
residential
scale
and
it's
about
it.
The
height
will
remain
the
same
room
in
the
same
from
the
exterior
side
of
things.
M
Yes,
is
she
planning
to
is
the
owner
planning
to
rent
this
or
to
have
extended
family
living
in.
AD
J
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
calling
our
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
at
the
sun,
mayor's
office
deferred
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
information
on
this
particular
proposal,
but
we
do
understand
that
the
applicant
went
to
the
Jamaica
Plain
neighborhood
Council
and
received
their
support
as
well,
as
has
been
indicated
to
us
that
other
community
members
who
are
in
support
as
well
with
that
would
referred
to
the
board
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
Thank.
