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

Yes,
Madam
chairman
board
Paul
wufo,
an
attorney
in
Boston
at
Smith,

in
Cornell
and
golip
88
Broad

in
Boston
and
with
me
on
the
on
today
is
the
developer
applicant,
Ox

and
their
team
Benjamin
Moore

Danny,

and
Peter
McCauley,
also
our
architect
from
Embark
Dan,
our
teachers
just
quickly.
E
This
project
proposes
a
a
small
project
of
six
stories
on
the
corner
of
Lothrop
Street
and
Leo,
Birmingham
Parkway
and
the
construction
of
38
residences,
all
four
rent
apartments,
as
well
as
13
at
Great
parking
spaces,
with
the
option
of
adding
seven
additional
semi-automated,
so-called
stackers
to
the
parking
area
to
make
20
parking
spaces.
E
The
article
80
small
project
review
process
was
begun
on
February
8
2022.
We
had
public
meetings,
two
public
meetings,
one
initially
and
then
after
receiving
a
lot
of
community
input,
we
had
we
revised
the
project
and
Mr.
Benjimo
will
take
you
through
that.
We
had
a
second
public
meeting
on
that.
We
also
had
an
open
house
in
the
neighborhood.
We
had
four
meetings
combined
with
the
Brighton
Austin
Improvement
Association
and
the
Austin
civic
association.
E
Finally,
or
in
that
process
we
went
before
the
bpda
board
on
September
15
2022
and
obtained
their
approval.
The
bpdf
board
approval.
We
have
files
previously
71
letters
of
support
from
community
members
in
support
of
the
project.
The
zoning
relief
just
quickly
four
different
categories
that
have
been
tripped.
If
you
will
by
the
project
one
is
the
use.
Multi-Film
residential
in
this
CC1
zone
is
conditional.
E
The
far
Florida
ratio
limit
is
1.0
and
we're
seeking
3.11
the
height,
and
the
stories
are
limited
to
35
feet,
we're
looking
to
build
a
building
consistent
with
the
other
buildings
in
the
area,
69
feet
in
six
stories
and,
finally,
the
parking
under
the
code.
Article
51
would
require
76
parking
spaces
and,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
proposing
13
parking
spaces
Etc.
E
Finally,
through
Community
involvement
of
the
various
neighbors,
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
city
council,
Liz
breeden's
office
Etc,
we
arrived
at
an
IDP,
affordable
housing
mix
of
combined
of
18.4
percent,
with
five
IDP
units
at
70
percent
of
Ami
and
two
IDP
units
at
100
percent
of
Ami
for
a
total
of
seven
of
the
38
units
restricted
with
IDP
restrictions.
E
F
Thank
you.
If
you
don't
mind,
go
to
page
three,
please
Madam,
chair
members
of
the
board,
thank
you
for
having
me
today
we're
thrilled
to
present
this
project.
After
a
two-year
community
and
article
eating
process,
you
can
see
here.
46
Leo
is
at
the
corner
of
Lothrop
and
Leo
and
Birmingham
Parkway
and
is
really
the
last
parcel
in
this
development
Corridor
to
either
be
developed
or
receive
approval.
F
So
we
gave
great
care
and
thought
to
our
massing
and
into
our
our
project
here,
thinking
through
the
other
projects
that
have
been
approved
or
under
construction
right
now,
along
wheel,
Birmingham
Parkway
next
page.
Please,
you
can
see
here.
The
current
improvements
on
the
site
are
the
state
police
barracks.
F
So
next
slide,
please
so,
as
Mr
rufo
mentioned
38
unit
project
that
far
so
the
density
of
the
site
is
slightly
lower
than
the
project
50
Leo
next
door.
That
is
fully
built
out
before
we
sold
Condominiums,
and
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
thinking
through
how
to
acknowledge
that
design,
but
also
step
the
project
back
a
little
bit
and
to
acknowledge
the
crosswalk
that
is
is
being
built
right
here.
So
the
indentation
of
our
project
really
is
captures
kind
of
The
Pedestrian
activity
right
in
this
Corners
here
and
then
further.
F
F
You
can
see
overall
because
this
project
has
been
going
on
for
for
so
long
from
a
community
standpoint.
We
were
actually
one
of
the
first
to
increase
comp
above
the
13
affordability
level,
and
so
we're
thrilled
to
to
be
able
to
exceed
what
is
required
under
the
IDP
on
the
project
will
be
sustainably
constructed,
and
we
spent
a
lot
of
time.
F
Thinking
about
why
making
the
sidewalks
and
maintaining
the
setbacks
that
the
other
development
projects
along
the
Birmingham
have,
in
addition
to
removing
a
very,
very
large,
curb
cut
that
the
state
police
currently
utilized
for
for
the
site,
which
will
significantly
include
improve
industrial
safety
on
a
large
installation
and
will
be
driven
by
Community
RFP
process
once
the
project
is
complete
and
arts
Urban
is
incredibly
proud
of
being
working
on
our
projects
in
a
progressive
transportation
and
and
thinking
about
mobility
in
a
progressive
way.
So
here
we
will
be
subsidizing.
F
Public
transit
passes,
we'll
have
an
electric
vehicle
car
sharing
that
we
have
one
more
than
one
and
a
half
biking
spaces
per
unit
above
and
beyond,
what's
required
under
design
guidelines.
Here
thanks
a
lot
please
so
Mr
rufo
mentioned.
We
have
an
extensive
Community
process,
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
were
particularly
happy
about
was
right.
F
After
filing
our
small
project
review
We
hosted
a
large,
open,
Community,
open
house
where
we
had
over
70
folks
and
provide
feedback
based
off
of
the
project
in
a
pretty
informal
way,
which
really
helped
shape
how
we
thought
about
the
project.
It
really
took
the
tone
down
from
some
of
the
community
conversations
which
we're
very
thankful
for
for
everybody's
help.
F
Next
slide,
please,
and
so
overall,
you
can
see
the
step
app
in
the
rear
of
the
building
to
the
the
residential
Community,
which
again
is
a
little
bit
different
from
the
project
right
next
door.
We
added
significant
green
space
behind
the
building.
F
We
had
an
additional
two
green
roofs
for
our
community
member
for
our
our
building
tenants
and
committed
to
a
full
solar
power
building
as
well,
but
overall,
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
with
the
community,
as
well
as
with
Council
breeding's
Office,
to
really
kind
of
improve,
improve
the
project
project
has
started
as
47
units
then
was
reduced
to
43
and
then,
ultimately,
the
38
based
off
of
that
Community
feedback
in
that
with
the
units
were,
were
made.
A
F
F
So
here
you
can
see
some
of
our
design
precedence,
really
trying
to
create
a
warming
Rich
building
that
accentuates
that
the
sidewalk
and
the
crosswalking
of
industrial
experience
with
with
that
seating
area
right
in
front
of
the
building
next
slide.
Please
here's
a
ground
floor
plan,
a
small
Lobby
off
of
Leo
Birmingham
Parkway,
there's
also
an
entrance
the
curb
cut
for
parking
in
the
buildings
on
both
rip
Street
of
13
parking
spaces.
F
As
we
mentioned,
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
trying
to
do
in
all
of
our
development
projects
is
prioritize
people
over
parking,
and
so
we
have
the
ability
if
demand
necessitates
and
if
we
need
to
to
increase
the
number
of
parking
spaces
through
a
semi-automated
system.
So
we've
designed
the
project
such
that
we
have
the
clearances
to
do
that.
F
But
ultimately,
one
of
the
things
we're
trying
to
do
is
get
people
off
the
roads
and
try
to
get
it
close
living
in
our
buildings
who
live
a
car,
free
lifestyle,
and
so
in
doing
that
role
we
provide
13
spark
spaces
up
front.
In
addition,
you
can
see
the
street
trees
and
the
additional
green
space
between
our
project,
50
Leo
Birmingham
and
a
residential
neighborhood
that
maintain
the
24th
set
of
app
under
the
current.
The
current
code
next
slide,
please
here's
generally
a
general
unit
layout
of
each
poor.
F
F
Again:
here's
a
landscape
plan.
You
can
see.
There's
this
outdoor
space
between
50
Leo,
Birmingham
Parkway
that
will
be
will
be
wet,
have
movable
Furniture,
so
have
an
outdoor
space
for
our
community
there,
as
well
as
some
some
large
Street
trees
and
our
group
bodies
planted
to
provide
a
buffer
between
our
project
and
our
neighbors.
F
In
our
our
project
will
abide
by
and
exceed
the
complete
streets
guidelines,
so
15
foot
sidewalk
on
Leo
Birmingham
continues
that
pedestrian
experience
that
the
other
projects
along
the
street
have,
as
well
as
maintain
a
weapon
plus
sidewalks
loafer
Street,
which
will
make
that
pedestrian
experience
eventually
better
next
slide.
F
B
H
Thank
you.
We
held
several
meetings
for
this
project
virtually
through
the
bpda
posted
in
all
our
normal
sites.
This
project
received
a
fair
bit
of
community,
supporting,
as
the
development
team
touched
upon,
there
were
some
concerns
from
the
mayor
directly
to
the
fear
of
budding
the
project
and
they
worked
with
them
to
address
them,
including
moving
the
Senate
Transformer
and
stepping
the
building
down,
as
it
moves
there
to
try
and
preserve
as
much
of
their
light
as
possible.
H
We
expect
that
this
project
should
go
forward
and
we
believe
that
it
is
a
valuable
project
within
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you
thank.
D
I
had
a
chair
just
one
question
about
the
parking
and
the
breakdown
of
it
and
the
allocation.
If
you
wouldn't
get.
F
Yes,
so
we
have,
we
have
13
parking
spaces.
You
know
we're
trying
to
abide
by
kind
of
bpda
guidelines
of
having
0.5
parking
ratio
or
below
I.
F
Think
one
of
the
compromises
we
made
with
the
community
was
that,
if
demand
necessitates
meaning
if
everybody
in
the
building
has
a
car,
we
have
the
ability
to
add
an
automated
parking
system
into
our
garage
just
based
off
of
the
design,
but
we're
really
trying
to
be
thoughtful
about
how
we
construct
and
think
about
parking
in
all
of
our
projects,
because
we're
big
Believers
that
if
you
build
it,
they
will
come,
but
otherwise
we're
trying
to
incentivize
folks
to
to
live
car
free
lives.
F
Here
would
be
more
of
a
puzzle,
an
automated
puzzle
system,
where
you're
able,
basically
to
it's
like
an
automated
staffer
system,.
I
Dinner
teaches
with
Embark,
if
I
may,
this
semi-automated
system
and
our
20
Arc
encount
does
not
require
anyone
to
move
another
person's
car
to
access.
So
it's
a
little
bit
more
reserved
and
feasible
for
a
multi-family
project
like
this.
J
Yeah
Savannah
members
of
the
board
of
the
Miko
BTD,
should
they
change
their
mind
on
the
newer
parking
spaces
I'm,
assuming
that
they
have
to
come
in
front
of
the
CBA?
Is
that
correct.
D
K
From
Korea
that
I
am
not
100
sure,
can
you
clarify
the
CEOs
again
I'm
sorry.
B
K
J
I
think
you
do,
you
would
have
to
come
in
front
of
the
board
of
appeal
to
change
the
number
of
spaces.
L
I
have
I
have
a
couple
of
questions.
Yes,
are
you
the
same
developer
for
30
and
50.
L
E
Right,
the
the
developer
for
46
is
the
same
developer.
You
may
have
seen
in
the
in
the
presentation
for
525
Lincoln
Street,
which
is
it's
well
under
construction.
That's
you
know
further
down
in
Austin,
because
that's
sustaining
developer,
that
project
was
approved
and
it's
it's
nearing.
Completion
and
ngmo
is
directing
that
project
as
well,
but
in.
L
Terms
of
I
mean
the
region.
I
asked
is
the
buildings
adjacent,
very
similar
kind
of
density
in
relation
to
then
the
other
kind
of
smaller
scale,
residential
and
I
was
wondering
if
there
was
any
kind
of
coordination
in
regards
to
the
ground
floor
programming.
So
right
now
the
Residential
Building
at
46
is
the
the
residential
kind
of
asset
would
be
just
a
fitness,
a
fitness
facility
and
given
it
this
is
kind
of
a
Zone
under
commercial
I.
Just
wanted
to
understand
this
project
in
relationship
to
the
recent
buildings
yeah,
so
I.
L
L
How
does
that
then
begin
to
affect
the
parks,
so
these
are
just
more
common,
as
I
have
a
couple
of
more
questions.
So,
if
you
can
just
answer
that,
one
that
would.
F
L
F
Yes,
okay,
different
developer,
different
development
teams,
I
think
we
wanted
some
continuity
from
the
design
aspects
and
really
an
understanding
of
exactly
what
it's
done.
So
Dan
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time
working
with
the
bpda
design
team
thinking
through
this
and
and
Dan.
If
you,
if
you
wouldn't
mind,
would
you
provide
a
little
bit
more
context
on
that
front?
Yes,.
I
Of
course,
you
know
having
the
ability
to
work
on
on
both
these
projects,
pretty
quick,
pretty
quickly
after
each
other
allowed
us
to
have
an
input
on
this
entire
Corridor
and
see
the
the
progression
of
how
the
parkway
is
being
redesigned
to
provide
pedestrian
and
bike
access,
as
well
as
the
ongoing
discussion
on
whether
or
not
smaller
scale
commercial
spaces
are
appropriate
for
this
stretch
of
Leo
Birmingham,
and
that
was
a
conversation
that
we
had
with
both
the
community
and
the
bpda,
based
on
our
conversations.
I
I
feel
that
commercial
space
in
this
project
or
these
projects
along
Leo
Birmingham
outside
of
the
anchoring
commercial
retail
spaces,
as
you
go
towards
New
Balance
and
then
towards
the
the
Raceway
and
the
Western
Ave
Corridor
I,
was
was
something
that
was
considered
I,
believe
you
know,
as
we
developed
both
of
these
projects
in
tandem,
it
was
really
looking
towards
the
corner
of
Western,
Ave
and
Western
Ave
itself
as
the
basis
for
commercial
development
on
this
stretch,
and
it
was
looked
at
historically
along
the
way
over
Birmingham
how
smaller
scale
commercial
spaces
weren't
really
viable.
I
So
we
were,
we
were
kind
of
tasked
with
providing
amenities
for
the
building
itself,
but
not
commercial
spaces
which
might
not
be
viable
for
this
stretch.
L
In
regards
to,
let's
say,
contributions
in
regards
to
community
benefits,
was
there
I
think
if
I
recall
you
had
a
contribution
for
the
Little
League
am
I?
Is
that
correct?
It's
a
little.
F
League,
so
so
there
is
there's
a
few
contributions.
One
is
38
000
to
the
parks,
ten
thousand
dollars
to
Blue
bikes
program.
We
have
roughly
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
contribution.
We
have
to
provide
a
25
design
plan
in
tandem
with
the
vpda
BTD
and
DCR
in
terms
of
rethinking
and
designing
the
Lothrop
and
Leo
Birmingham
intersection,
so
that
was
really
the
Cornerstone
number
mitigation
plan
working
with
that
to
Think
Through
how
to
further
the
transportation
improvements
of
the
corridor.
F
Ten
thousand
dollars
to
also
brighten
CDC
as
well,
who
we've
worked
with
on
other
projects
and
then
here
again
trying
to
be
really
Progressive
from
setting
the
tone
from
an
alternative,
Transit
standpoint,
providing
a
shared
electric
vehicle
subsidizing,
basically
that
public
use
of
public
transportation
and
then
having
significantly
above
required
bike
parking
per
unit.
So
that's
our
that
was
our
general
mitigation
package.
Okay,.
L
Great
There's,
an
opportunity
here
and
I'm
glad
the
bpda
is
here
to
also
speak
on
behalf
of
your
project.
To
and
now
we
have
a
lot
of
residents
coming
in
and
there's
an
opportunity
to
really
use
the
Open
Spaces
very
across
your
property
behind
you
and
make
improvements
for
your
residents,
because
you
noted
that
you
had
adequate
open,
open
space
at
the
rear.
But
I
would
say
your
your
asset
is
really
the
open
public
spaces
outside
of
your
building,
and
so
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
that.
L
N
F
F
And
arts
Urban
as
a
track
record
of
we're
building,
affordable
housing
across
the
city.
We
build
both
affordable,
Capital,
affordable
and
then
market
rate
housing,
and
so
we
are
really
kind
of
thinking.
A
lot
about
visibility,
I
think
to
change
our
affordability
requirement
here
will
require
significant
subsidy
and
we're
developing
this
project
on
behalf
of
the
land
and
owners
on
the
land
here
for
almost
10
years
and
and
wants
to
develop
a
market
rate
project
non-affordable
housing
project.
So
it
was
a
significant.
F
O
Yes,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Frank
Mendoza
here
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
office
in
Brighton
liaison
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
at
this
time,
but
I
can
say
that
the
applicant
met
with
our
two-level
Civic
associations
being
the
Austin
civic
association
and
the
Brighton
Austin
Improvement
Association.
The
Austin
civic
association
sent
a
letter
to
the
board
earlier
today,
expressing
no
clear
consensus
and
therefore
they
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board.
O
They
did
mention
that
those
in
the
ACA
that
were
in
opposition
cited
concerns
regarding
density
and
scale,
the
use
of
boston-based
contractors,
lack
of
off-street
parking
and
green
space
and
local
traffic
flow
and
Public
Safety.
As
for
the
Brighton
Austin
Improvement,
Association
I
believe
their
zoning
chair
and
umbrella
bonuses
in
attendance
today
to
testifies
to
their
stance
with
that
said
again
refer
to
the
other
Judgment
of
the
board.
Thank
you
very
much.
P
B
Q
Manchester
members
of
the
board,
the
Bia,
voted
to
not
support
this
project.
We
have
many
concerns
with
this
project.
The
only
good
thing
from
this
project
is
the
seven
IDP
units
that
we
show
strongly
that
for
seven
units
we're
giving
up
too
much
density.
It
is
located
in
a
green
overlay
District,
but
there
is
no
green
space
on
the
project.
The
Green
Space,
you
see
in
the
back.
If
you
look
closely
you'll
see
it's
artificial
turf,
which
I
believe
Brooklyn
mayor's
office
is
very
much
against.
It's
not
Green.
Q
Space,
the
trees
are
not
on
the
property.
The
meetings
were
held
in
July
the
public
meetings,
the
other
meeting
that
they
had
was
held
in
a
bar.
If
you
look
at
the
photos,
most
of
the
people
are
holding
alcoholic
beverages
and
it
was
a
very
comfortable
for
everybody
to
support,
but
not
really
listening
to
the
direct
neighbors
who
had
major
concerns,
especially
the
house
of
budding
it
with
the
height
of
a
building
and
the
fact
that
this
property
is
using
every
inch
or
density.
T
R
Chair
members
of
the
board,
Tony
justadoro,
representing
the
Austin
civic
association,
the
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
did
a
good
job
of
summarizing
the
letter
that
we
sent
earlier.
We
were
split
right
down
the
middle
in
terms
of
voting
and
as
Frank
mentioned,
to
the
board,
those
in
opposition.
He
did
a
good
job
of
citing
the
concerns
off
of
our
letter.
R
I
I
would
also
just
throw
in
one
of
the
so
therefore
we're
going
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board
just
want
to
throw
in
another
General
issue
and
I'm
sure
this
is
something
the
board
hears
throughout
the
city
and
an
ongoing
concern,
and
we
like
to
think
that
the
city
has
some
influence
over
the
process,
but
not
a
lot.
R
But
obviously
the
concern
is,
as
we
continue
with
these
friends
that
are
oriented
projects
and,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
this
is
a
script
of
Birmingham
Parkway,
going
into
Western
Ave,
where
there
is
considerable
markets
in
the
pipeline,
being
constructured
constructed
being
planned,
that
a
Transit
oriented
in
nature
and
obviously
an
ongoing
Community
concern-
is
that
the
state
is
going
to
address
service
levels
to
all
these
new
people.
That
will
be
coming
in
because,
obviously
yes,
we
do
want
them
to
walk.
A
R
Necessary
take
bites
or
take
public
transportation,
but
just
to
throw
that
out
that
there's
continuing
concern
about
the
state's
ability,
given
all
that
we've
heard
in
the
last
few
months
of
being
able
to
align
service
levels
through
all
this
new
development.
That's
going
in
with
very
low
parking
ratios.
P
Thank
you
Paul
and
then
Thomas.
U
Yes,
can
you
hear
me
yes,
hi
I'm,
Paul,
Adams,
I
I
own
the
house
right
about
in
this
proposed
project.
Thank
you
for
hearing
me.
This
Project's
gonna,
like
I,
can
see
the
sunset
right
from
my
door.
Now
I
won't
be
able
to
see
it.
It's
only
going
to
be
13
feet
in
between
the
condo
building
and
this
new
building
there's
going
to
be
a
huge
Shadow.
That's
going
to
take
all
the
sun
away
from
my
house
on
this.
U
It's
just
you
know
people
on
local
Street,
they
Park
from

There's
no
parking
whatsoever.
13
spaces
for
76.
I
understand
what
Benji's
saying
he
wants
people
not
to
use
cops.
People
are
going
to
use
cops.
U
It
is
where
they
have
the
the
artificial
turf
from
what
I'm
understanding
they
might
actually
use
that
for
two
parking
spaces
which
would
put
the
exhaust
fumes
right
into
my
house
into
my
backyard
I'm,
not
sure
if
that's
the
truth
or
not,
but
that's
what
I'm
understanding
also
right
off
a
little
trip,
they're
going
to
be
taking
the
right
into
the
garage.
Are
they
going
to
have
that
Lit
all
night
I
mean
the
light
going
to
come
right
into
my
house?
That's
you
know
horrible.
The
whole
thing
is
horrible
to
me.
U
The
other
one
is
30
is
is
approved.
This
is
going
to
be
approved.
This
is
blocking
my
house
in
we've,
been
here
for
45
years.
Three
generations
of
family
I,
just
you
know,
want
it's
gonna
completely

our

of

up
here.

that,
from
what
I
understand,

the

U
Up
under
there,
I
don't
I,
don't
know
what
that's
about.
Also
that
71
letters
of
support.
We
looked
at
all
the
support
letters
from
Roxbury
they're
from
Quincy,
just
like
Annabelle
said
it
was
at
the
bar
and
it
was
just
a
piece
of
paper
and
the
people
signed
while
they
would
drink
it.
The
people
that
put
those
comments
far
are
not
even
from
the
neighborhood.
W
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Thomas
Leonard
I,
live
at
50
Aldi
Street
in
Allston
I
oppose
the
46
Leo
project
two
purposes
for
opposition
I.
Do
not
believe
that
the
Green
Space
proposed
by
the
developer
is
significant
enough
to
offer
a
carbon
offset
for
the
building
being
placed
here.
I'm
concerned
about
a
heat,
island
effect
and
I
think
that
the
Green
Space
needs
to
be
increased
specifically
with
trees
before
the
project
can
be
approved.
W
Second
point
this:
this
is
the
same
developer
for
525
Lincoln
Street
and
with
525
Lincoln
Street.
Only
12
percent
of
the
contractors
working
on
that
project
are
Boston
based
I
did
ask
during
the
Austin
civic
association
meeting.
If
the
contractor
for
46
Leo
would
be
committed
to
a
hiring
boston-based
Union
contractors
and
the
developer
was
unwilling
to
make
that
commitment.
I
believe
until
the
green
space
is
addressed
and
the
labor
commitment
is
address,
this
project
should
not
move
forward.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
B
B
X
Okay,
are
you
a
little
bit
48
Waverly
Street,
which
is
just
down
the
street
from
here
and
I'm,
opposed
to
the
project?
The
way
it
is
the
project
just
Maxes
it
out,
I
mean
the
the
13th
between
buildings
is
because
of
the
other
building
being
stepped
back
from
the
property
line.
The
space
and
back
is
actually
papers
that
the
weeds
can
grow
through
and
the
parking
garage
is
open
to
the
rear
facing
that
little
house
with
the
family
in
it.
X
So
cars
yes
can
park
out
there,
but
also
the
garage
vents
out
there,
because
it's
open
to
the
back
it
to
me,
I'm,
not
against
development.
I
I
think
you
know
redeveloping
that
property
is
fine,
but
the
way
it
is
is
just
maxing
it
out.
One
of
the
board
members
asked
about
the
Ami,
the
IDP
units,
because
this
makes
money
this
way.
X
You
know
the
other
renters
just
pay
a
little
bit
more
and
they
give
a
little
break
to
some
units,
but
it's
not
for
working
class,
poor
people
and
as
far
as
the
packing,
that's
great,
if
everybody
would
bike
and
take
the
tea
to
work,
but
we've
seen
and
lived
with
the
radius,
which
is
right
next
to
this
50
Leo
has
been
open
now
for
for
months,
maybe
half
a
year,
and
we
see
that
there's
not
one
parking
spot
since
it's
open
on
the
street.
X
Finally,
a
Birmingham
Parkway,
so
that
doesn't
apply
and,
and
one
last
thing
please.
Somebody
spoke
to
the
letters
of
support
if
the
board
looked
at
the
72
or
78
letters
of
support.
I
looked
at
all
the
addresses
other
than
two
people
that
were
at
the
notch.
Brewery
that
lived
close
by
you
couldn't
be
further
away
from
this
project,
so
I
don't
buy
any.
B
Of
that
we
understand
that
point.
Thank,
you
any
other
raised
hands.
Jessica
additional
raised
hands,
no
additional
race
hands.
Can
the
applicant
address
these
concerns
the
Green
Space
setbacks?
You
know
the
light
the
humming
noises
Etc.
Can
you
can
you
just
address.
F
So
I
think
we'll
talk
about
that.
First
on
our
other
projects
that
they're
referring
to,
we
are
in
compliance
with
a
Boston
residents,
jobs
policy
and
Factor
significantly
exceeding
currently
the
people
of
color
our
participation,
and
we
are.
We
have
been
commended
by
the
Boston
residence
jobs
policy
oversight
committee
for
for
how
we're
doing
on
that
on
that
project.
So
I'm
happy
to
share
further
further
detail
with
the
board,
but
I
think
from
our
standpoint.
F
We
are
certainly
above
board
on
that
side,
I
think,
from
a
green
space
standpoint
and
from
listening
to
the
of
the
abutters
we
spent
quite
a
bit
of
time.
We
we
reduced
the
massing
of
the
project
from
47
to
38
units.
We
work
with
councilor
breeden's
office
and
with
with
other
folks
in
the
community,
to
add
two
additional
green
spaces
to
both
our
buildings
with
outdoor
space
behind
the
building,
as
well
as
we
removed
parking
between
our
project
in
Mr,
Adam's
house,
I'm,
not
sure
why
or
where
the
reference
to
church
is
coming
from.
F
G
F
Final
Point,
as
well
is
the
contribution.
Thirty
eight
thousand
dollars
for
Parks,
but
we
recognize
that
a
large
portion
of
our
Green
Space,
outside
of
what
we
have
on
site
is
that
that
will
be
utilized
is
in
the
embodied
Park,
and
so
that
contribution
will
help
to
hansi's
point
earlier
to
improve
that
work.
F
We're
happy
we're
happy
to
remove
that
around
the
superviso.
I
also
think,
there's
no
current
Green
Space
on
the
site
right
now.
If
you
look
on
one
of
the
last
few
slides,
it
is
currently
a
heat
desert
right
and
so
adding
green
roofs
and
green
outdoor
spaces
to
our
projects.
We
acknowledge
exactly
what
we're
saying.
G
D
Hearing
none,
then
we
will
go
back
to
11
30
that
was
was
previously
noted.

What
you're
looking
at
and
this
rendering
is
a
proposal
to
combine,
which
is
the
left-hand
building
combined
two
existing
empty
Parcels
at

That
would
create
one
new

would
be
known
as

we're
proposing
to
wreck
four
residential
condominium
units
with
three

spaces.
You

Please,
and
we
just
get
into
the
plans
just
to
point
out.
We
worked
extensively
with
the
Jeffrey's
Point
neighborhood
association,
as
well
as
our
Butters,
to
come
up
with
the
exterior
design
that
they
wanted
to
see,
which
is
that
brick
exterior
and
the
top
material
we
also
we
do
have
three
interior
space,
so
those
are
pool
spaces.
We
also
need
commitments
that
we
would
agree
to
on
the
parking
restriction
program
with
BTD
as
available.
Z
We
will
also
look
for
alternative
areas
for
additional
parking
on
the
lots
and
and
then
the
commitments
to
maintain
that
exterior
design
that
neighbors
wanted
to
see
just
to
go
over
the
variances
required.
We
have
a

that
is

down

really
did
try
to

is
down
as
low
as
we
can
we're
at
40

then
we
did
have
our

we're
at

be
required

our

are
still
maintaining
eight
feet,
but
ten
would
be
required
and
then
for
parking.
We
do
have
three
spaces
because
we
wanted
to
make
four
would
be
required.
Z
We
wanted
to
make
those
spaces
really
functional
to
come
in
and
have
access
in
and
out
and
to
make
sure
there
was
enough.
I
can
pause
now
and
answer
any
questions.
Oh
just
to
point
out
sorry,
on
the
top
floor,
there
are
two
exclusive
roof
decks
by
hatch.
Those
are
13
by
14..
Those
are
exclusively
to
the
third
and
unit
number
three.
G
All
right,
thank
you,
madam
chairman
board.
Jeff
Hanson
bpda.
We
recommended
we're
home
for
free
story
structure
at
the
end
of
the
street
and
they
can
increase
setback
on
the
pro
on
that
side
property
month,
so
understanding
how
most
of
the
street
is
not
for
storage,
we're
still
trying
to
keep
it
at
3D
services.
G
A
AA
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
and
Neighborhood
Services.
This
time
mayor's
office
refer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board,
some
back
information
and
Community
process,
ons
hosting
the
butters
meeting
on
October
27
2022.
We
had
four
voters
join
the
call.
The
main
concerns
from
the
butters
that
were
mentioned
was
parking
and
density.
A
Butters
did
mention
how
the
developers
team
had
been
very
responsive
and
easy
to
work
with,
though
the
applicant
that
the
Jeffrey's
Point
neighbor
Association
multiple
times
over
this
course
of
the
community
process.
AA
AB
Z
So
it's
right
on
Haynes,
Street
Bob!
If
you
pull
up
the
rendering
the
there's
an
existing
curb
cut,
now
we're
just
shifting
it.
But
if
we
I
don't
know
if
we
have
a
coffee
sign,
there's
a
front
garage
that
opens,
it
would
be
enclosed
with
everything
in
the
Interiors.
It's
about
12
feet
across.
J
Because
the
the
plans
that
I
saw
showed
an
18-foot
curb
cut,
that's
that's
kind
of
large
yeah.
J
And
then
my
final
comment
is
you're
right
at
the
edge
of
Hanes,
and
you
know
that
Haynes
is
a
one-way.
So,
if
they're
coming
out
of
the
garage,
if
you
make
a
left
turn
that's
kind
of
dicey,
because
if
they
should
ever
be
a
conflict
of
any
kind,
the
person
coming
out
of
the
garage
is
100
wrong.
So
you're
gonna
have
to
take
a
left
turn
out
of
the
garage
to
comply
with
the
with
the
wall.
Z
So
we
we,
we
purposely
pushed
the
garage
on
the
other
side
on
that
right
side
of
the
building,
so
they
would
be
able
to
make
that
that
radius
turn.
J
Can
you
have
a
side
that
says
left
turn
only
100?
Thank.
AC
B
AD
Sure
Steve
Holt,
68d,
Marginal,
Street
I
am
a
butter
to
this
project,
I'm
speaking
in
in
support
of
this
project
between
October
2022
and
April
of
this
year,
we
met
with
the
developers
multiple
times
through
both
the
processes
with
the
Jeffrey's
Point
neighborhood
association,
General
meetings,
the
Planning
and
Zoning
zoning
subcommittee
meetings,
and
also
individually
and
throughout,
like
on
email
and
over
the
phone,
and
they
were
very
accommodating
and
made
significant
changes
based
on
our
feedback,
especially
around
parking
accommodations,
the
exterior
kind
of
look
and
feel
aesthetic
of
the
of
the
property,
and
they
also
worked
with
us
to
create
a
construction
management
plan
that
will
I
think
allay
many
of
the
concerns
that
Butters
had
around
the
construction
and
ongoing
maintenance
of
the
property.
V
Hi
I'm
Theresa,
Drumm
I,
live
on
Cottage,
Street,
Amy
Cottage
and
just
to
resonate
the
same
I
I
worked
with
the
developers
and
they've
listened
to
neighbors
regarding
the
design
which
I'm
extremely
happy
about
and
as
far
as
the
parking,
my
understanding
is
there's
three
parking
spots
and
it
is
really
close
to
the
water
taxi
and
t-stop,
which
is
generally
what
that
tech
building
is
going
to
be
working
into
East
day
so
I'm
totally
in
support.
Thank
you.
V
P
You
Brian
and
then
David.
AE
Afternoon,
Madam
chair
on
the
board,
I'm
Brian,
Williams
and
19th
Street,
just
repeating
what
was
just
said
by
the
two
previous
people.
This
this
applicant,
Tom
and
Peter
and
even
Jeff,
have
been
tremendous
to
work
with
they
also
developed
10
Haynes
we're
they're
just
great
neighbors.
They
were
soliciting
feedback
during
construction
of
that
project
as
well.
AE
It's
right
across
the
street
from
us-
and
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
I,
just
also
want
to
reiterate
that
the
work
they
did
to
sort
of
redesign
and
listen
to
neighbors
feedback
has
been
tremendous.
It's
going
to
add
so
much
more
aesthetically
to
the
street
and
my
wife
and
I
are
in
full
support
of
this
project.
Thank
you.
AF
Hi,
my
name
is
David
lank
I
live
at
65,
Grove,
Street
and
I
also
own
a
few
other
properties
in
the
immediate
vicinity
of
a
few
blocks
away
and
I
want
to
speak
in
enthusiastic
support
of
the
project.
I
think
it's
the
right
scale,
I
think
it
improves
the
neighborhood
I.
Think
it's
beautiful
and
I'm
going
to
do
a
lot
to
improve
our
little
Nook.
Thank
you.
Scott.
B
How
many
more
raised
hands
are
there?
Those
are
the
last
two
Melissa
mine
are
okay.
Are
you
all
set.
L
Other
questions
from
the
board
I
do
have
a
quick
question.
Are
you
the
same
developer
as
seven
Haines
Street.
AG
L
It
looks
like
materially
you're
working
with
that
correct
yeah.
Are
you
so?
My
only
observation
is
that
the
fourth
floor
of
massing
at
the
rear
feels
like
an
additional
story,
and
maybe
that's
what
you
were
getting
in
terms
of
BPA
feedback
in
terms
of
trying
to
maintain
the
three-story
I
I
agree
that
there's
a
lot
of
there
are
buildings
out
there
that
works
with
the
proposed
massing.
Are
you
would
you
be
open
to
working
with
the
bpda
on
the
fourth
floor
kind
of
massing
at
the
rear?
Z
The
fourth
floor:
we
we
actually
were
so
as
we
went
through
this
process,
making
changes
we
we
actually
had
to
bring
down
to
the
two
Studios
below.
So
we
were
hoping
to
make
up
some
square
footage
in
the
Jeffrey's
Point
neighbor
Association
really
has
been
asking
for
more
family-sized.
L
Z
N
Y
B
Z
Thank
you,
Mr
Embers.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago,
with
Drago
and
Toscano,
with
the
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street
here
on
behalf
of
Brittany
Crespo
and
the
Crespo
group,
the
developer
and
owner
and
Eric
zackerson,
with
context
design
just
to
Quick,
quickly,
reiterate:
The,
Proposal,
they're,
they're,
three
separate
Lots
and
we're
proposing
to
raise
the
existing
dated
structures
on
them
and
to
erect
three
separate
three
family
buildings.
Z
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
Adam
Ambassador.
This
just
shows
the
existing
conditions
of
the
building.
Extensive
Renovations
would
be
needed
on
all
of
these
Lots
structures.
You
can
also
see
they
don't
even
imply
with
the
existing
code
or
what's
allowed
under
the
exist,
so
they're,
very,
very
small.
You
can
see
the
all
of
that
hot
top
on
front
and
the
middle
one
at
96,
and
then
they
also
have
Curb
cuts
on
the
other.
Two
proposal
proposed
buildings
as
well.
Z
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
this
particular
area,
although
Zone
1f,
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
I'm
sorry
has
a
mix
of
housing.
Stock.
Right
here
is
part
of
the
proposed
development
of
the
10
000
units
from
Suffolk
Downs,
that's
directly
across
the
street
from
us.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
this
is
apartment
complex,
directly,
diagonal
from
us
as
well
on
the
same
street
across
the
street.
That's
a
20
to
30
unit
apartment
complex
with
parking.
Z
If
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please-
and
these
are
just
some
other
projects-
a
75
wall
tomorrow,
which
is
a
16
unit
at
the
corner,
that's
the
16
waldemar
at
the
corner
and
then
the
one
on
Wally
Street.
These
are
all
multi-family
residential
buildings,
all
along
that
Corridor.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
Madam
Ambassador.
This
shows
the
proposal
now
if
we
can
stay
on
this
slide.
Z
These
are
the
three
buildings
and
we
really
wanted
to
make
these
to
fit
and
blend
in
with
the
community
context,
and
although
I
will
show
you
another
slide,
but
right
now,
if
we
could
stay
on
this,
there's
a
one
family
to
our
right.
The
building,
that's
blue
next
to
92
is
an
existing
three
family
building.
Z
My
client
went
through
an
extensive
Community
process
trying
to
work
with
the
group,
the
Oregon
Heights
Civic,
to
try
to
make
changes
and
modify
this
project
when
we
started
and
how
it
was
originally
advertised
for
three
five
unit
buildings
and
there
was
an
affordable
component
to
that.
My
client
is
wants
to
promote
affordability.
So,
even
though
we
reduce
this
project,
we
still
are
keeping
one
affordable
unit
voluntary
at
92.
On
the
first
round
level.
Z
The
other
buildings
we
tried
to
blend
in
as
I
had
mentioned,
there's
also
nine
parking
spaces.
There'd
be
two
separate,
curb
cuts
on
the
front
of
the
property
that
would
lead
to
the
back
and
hose
three
three
spaces
that
would
go
with
each
building.
We
also
significantly
reduce
the
height
massing
of
the
building,
so
we
took
off
an
entire
floor,
so
these
are
now
three-story
buildings,
which
is
we've
removed,
the
height
variants
required
in
this
particular
area.
Z
Although
some
of
the
other
buildings
that
we
showed
the
original
picture
were
small
on
the
building
to
the
left
of
us
would
actually
blend
right
in
so
we'd
be
at
the
same
height,
we're
actually
below
the
35
foot
requirement
right
now
we
would
be
proposing
33
feet
in
height
for
each
building.
All
of
the
units
are
very
similar.
These
are
all
two
bedroom
units
at
about
1000
square
feet,
1230
square
feet
and
1230
square
feet.
They
have
small
front
decks.
Z
We
removed
all
roof
decks
on
the
project
as
well,
because
we
know
that
was
a
concern
for
Neighbors.
We've
really
tried
to
reduce
the
variances
that
are
needed.
We
do
have
because
of
the
use
variance,
because
there
are
three
families
required.
Our
far
is
at
1.26,
which
has
been
reduced
but
still
requires
relief.
Z
Side
yard
varies
from
five
foot,
six
and
seven
to
three
foot
six,
so
we
we
would
need
variances
for
that
and
then
parking
we're
at
one
for
one,
but
1.5
would
be
required
as
I
mentioned.
This
would
still
allow
us
to
have
one
affordable
unit
on
92.
That
would
go
with
this
project
as
well.
Z
I
can
I
went
over
the
layouts
of
the
units
and
sizes.
I
can
pause
now
to
answer
any
questions
of.
B
Thank
you,
Mr
Drago
can
I
ask
how
if
there
were
any
changes
to
this
from
the
last
time
you
presented
and
and
it
was
deferred
so.
Z
B
Okay
hearing:
no,
no,
let's
get
public
testimony.
First,
yes,.
AA
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman,
with
the
mayor's
House
of
Neighborhood
Services.
At
this
time,
marriage
officers
deferred
to
the
judge
from
this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
Ons
hosted
two
of
modernist
meetings
for
this
project
on
March
29th
of
2022
and
May
26th
of
2022..
This
project
reduced
its
size
from
the
original
proposal
throughout
the
community
process
to
three
buildings
for
three
units.
Each
and
one
voluntary,
affordable
unit
Butters
were
in
opposition
to
this
proposal.
AA
As
they
stated
during
both
meetings
at
the
project,
they
feel
is
too
dense
for
this
Street.
Then
it
goes
against
the
character
of
the
neighborhood,
which
mostly
consists
of
single
families.
They
also
voice
concerns
regarding
the
lack
of
parking
in
the
area.
A
direct
and
butter
also
expressed
concerns
over
the
height
density
and
excavation
during
the
construction,
voicing
some
worries
that
it
may
impact
a
retaining
wall.
The
project
presented
to
the
Orient
Heights
neighborhood
Council
in
March,
April
and
July
of
2022.
AA
The
association
voted
to
oppose
the
project
with
25
residents
against
and
two
in
favor
of
the
Civic
expressed
concerns
about
the
potential
loss
of
single-family
homes.
In
the
area,
our
office
received
12
letters
in
opposition,
four
from
waldemar
Ave,
one
from
the
Orient
Heights
neighborhood
Council,
three
from
faywood
Ave,
one
from
Wards,
with
Street,
two
from
Quantum
Morenci
Ave
and
one
from
orientaf.
With
that
information,
we'll
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
AA
AB
AB
S
Opposition
from
Oregon
ice
neighborhood,
Council
people
reckon
opposition.
B
We
have
seven
raised
hands,
can
I
just
ask
once
we
start
to
unmute
people,
if
you
can
briefly
tell
us
if
you're
in
support
of
opposition,
that
way
we
try
to
get
to
as
many
people
I'll
start
with
Sean
and
then
go
to
Diane
state,
your
name
and
address,
and
briefly
tell
us
if
you're
in
support
of
opposition.
AC
Good
Sean
police
to
eat
Mama,
Ramsey,
Avenue
right
down
the
road
from
this
development
I
strongly
oppose
it
at
the
neighborhood
association.
Obviously
voted
drastically
to
not
support
this,
but
I
keep
single-family
homes
in
our
neighborhood
and
I
hope
you
guys
can
do
so.
I
also
just
like
to
make
a
comment
that
I
have
a
friend
that
owns
a
31
Monmouth,
where
this
developer
had
a
proposal
built
to
built
the
building.
You
know
and
they're
actively
dealing
with
construction
issues.
AC
AH
I
would
like
speak
out
in
opposition
of
this
project
and
highlight
that
these
my
property
and
the
property
next
door
were
built
at
the
same
time,
they're
nearly
identical
in
terms
of
their
layout
and
at
the
time
they
were
built,
there's
they're,
built
into
a
hill
there's
a
retaining
wall
that
is
shared
by
both
properties.
AH
It's
partially
failed
a
couple
way
before
we
bought
the
property,
and
my
understanding
is
that
part
of
this
project
is
to
destroy
their
half
of
the
retaining
wall,
which
would
undoubtedly
compromise
my
retaining
wall
and
potentially
have
that
Hill
slide
into
our
the
back
of
our
property.
The
community's
been
clear:
we've
been
cleared
throughout
this
process
that
this
project
is
too
large.
It
wants
to
go
too
close
and
too
high
in
a
predominantly
one-ass
neighborhood,
and
as
such,
the
the
board
should.
B
AI
Good
afternoon
I'll
try
to
talk
quick,
but
I'm.
Italian
I've
won
24
World
on
my
wrap
and
I'm
done.
Three
Doors
Down
from
this
I'm
in
a
butter,
and
so
the
left
of
me
is
the
Trinity.
They
just
built
371
low-income
housing
directly
across
from
Suffolk
Downs.
We
had
a
thousands
of
meetings
at
Suffolk
Downs
with
the
10
000
condos
and
they
agree.
This
is
very
important.
AI
They
agreed
that
they
would
put
one
family
homes
to
stay
in
with
this
current
zoning
and
to
stay
in
the
style
of
the
neighborhood
across
the
street
from
us,
okay,
so,
okay,
so
they
they
wanted.
Our
request,
which
is
wonderful
but
anyway
density,
Green
Space
I
mean
these
are
built
right
on
the
sidewalk
they're
ginormous
I'm,
a
taxpayer
I
feel
like
it's
all
about
greed
and
I'm.
Sorry
I
strongly
oppose
I
know
you
get
a
million
other
people
to
speak,
but
it's
too
big.
Thank
you.

P
My
name
is
Brooke
Machado
I'm
in
a
butter
I
live
at
103
saywood
Avenue
I
am
here
to
speak
in
opposition
of
this
project.
These
buildings
will
occupy
nearly
the
entire
process
of
the
land
on
which
they'll
be
built.
They're,
going
to
eradicate
all
of
the
open
space
which
serves
as
a
buffer
between
the
dwellings
in
our
1f
Zone
they're,
excessive
in
height
they're
way
too
close
to
the
butting,
the
directive,
others
property
lines.
They
do
not
fit
the
fabric
of
our
neighborhood.
We
want
the
boat
to
oppose
it,
to
protect
one
F
family.
B
Hi
good
at
good
afternoon,
can
you
hear
me
okay,
yep
go
ahead.
Can
you
briefly
tell
us,
give
us
some
information
if
you're
in
support
opposition
I
oppose
it?
My
name
is
Diane
and
Jeremy.
I
live
at
91,
waldemara
Ave,
which
is
right
across
the
street.
A
few
doors
up
I
definitely
oppose
this
project.
It's
to
watch,
there's
not
enough
parking
spaces,
there's
not
enough
air
to
breathe
it's
just
if
they
put
these
three
families.
Three,
three
families.
B
It's
all
a
burden
in
the
community,
whereas
known
to
one
family
home,
so
I,
definitely
I
hope.
The
board
will
strongly
oppose
this
project.
Okay,
Madam,
chair
I,
have
eight
well
seven
raised
hands.
You
want
me
to
keep
going
well,
I'll
raise
hands
and
we
have
probably
eat
more
cases.
So
maybe
you
can
do
two
more
okay,
I'll
go
to
Mike
and
then
and.
Q
AJ
My
name
is
Michael
stutchens,
with
an
address
of
244
Leyden
Street
I'm,
calling
in
favor
of
this
project
I
think
it's
appropriate
in
size
and
scale
relative
to
the
neighborhood,
particularly
with
the
Suffolk
down
project
right
across
the
street.
It'll
deliver
much
needed
housing
and
nice
to
see
that
the
developers
offering
an
affordable
unit
here.
What.
AJ
B
AF
Yeah,
yes
hi.
This
is
David
like
my
own,
a
small
business
with
my
brother
80s
Boston
on
Friedman
Street,
my
wife
and
I
will
be
living
at
65,
Grove
Street
and
the
closest
property
that
we
do
own
is
on
Swift
Terrace
in
the
neighborhood
next
door.
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
the
project,
I
think
that
across
the
street,
while
they
are
some
single
story
properties
that
the
developers
have
chosen
at
the
Suffolk
dance
development
also
include
stories
that
are,
you
know,
near
100,
and
that
three
stories
is
actually
very
modest.
AF
Considering
where
this
property
is
situated,
I
think
the
developer,
offering
an
affordable
unit
when
they
didn't
have
to
is
nice.
I
think
that
the
the
difference
in
design
between
the
three
properties
is
fantastic
and
I
do
want
to
speak
in
that
the
crespo's
are
born
and
raised
in
East
Boston
and
have
many
high
quality
buildings
that
I
am
aware
of.
So,
while
somebody
may
have
had
an
experience
that
they
didn't
like
I
think
that
their
stand-up
people
and
good
builders.
B
P
Go
ahead,
I
invited
David
go

David.

AK
Great
John
castensima
236
Orient

I'm,
a
member
of
the
Orient
Heights
neighborhood
Council
board,
and
also
on
The
Advisory
Group
for
playing
East
Boston
I
wanted
to
oppose
this
project
as
it's
currently
zoned
for
a
single
family
and
even
under
the
most
generous
proposal
that
is
going
through
the
process
for
playing
East
Boston.
This
building
would
still
not
be
allowed.
It
would
only
be
allowed
to
be
a
two
family
and
it
also
would
be
required
to
have
a
larger
setback.
AK
N
Z
So
we
we
have
proposed
70
Mr
Valencia,
that's
where
we're
at,
but
we
were
open
to
suggestion.
We
didn't
even
get
that
far
if
I
may
also
sorry
I
hope
that
answered
your
question.
I
apologize.
Thank
you.
I
was
hoping
to
address
Madam
chair
if
I
made
quickly
a
couple
other
comments,
because
I
had
to
do
with
the
building
size
of
Cisco
all
right
quickly.
Please,
yes,
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
we
are
over
the
rear,
required
setback
of
35
feet,
we're
at
39
feet,
6
inches.
Z
Our
height
is
at
33
feet,
so
we're
below
even
what
would
be
allowed
under
the
code
and
I
I
do
know
there
are
one
families
around
there,
but
there
are
as
many
multi-families
around
there
to
the
very
left
of
us
is
a
three
unit.
Building
behind
us
is
two
and
diagonal
is
a
multi-family
residential
rental
building
over
16
units,
so
we're
not
setting
a
precedent
track
we're
trying
to
fit
in
with
with
some
of
the
newer
three
unit
buildings
that
are
popping
up
in
this
entire
area
and
to
create
some
housing.
Thank
you.
B
G
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chairman,
for
Jeff
Hampton.
Our
recommendation
was
based
on
even
with
five
spaces
each.
So
what
does
this
project
so
on?
It
would
be
presidents

offer
any
sort
of
recommendations.

Madam

the

and
can
still
three
bedrooms
and
two
and
a
half

just
a
little
bit
about
the
property
itself.
This
has
been
a
vacant
lot
for
well
over
30
years
and
that's
been
a
blatant
community
and
again
it's
a
three

zoning
district
and
we
are
seeking
to
put
a
two

AB
AM
A
AA
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office,
Neighborhood
Services,
this
kind
of
mayor's
office
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board.
The
applicant
met
with
the
gmnc,
the
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
Council,
which
sent
a
recommendation
in
the
proponent,
go
back
to
the
Woodrow,
Ave
neighborhood
association
and
address
traffic
visibility
issues
as
described
in
the
refusal
letter.
AA
There
is
a
dispute
where
the
app
concerns
that
they
met
with
the
w-a-n-a
twice
and
wanted
like
to
proceed
go
before
this
board,
whereas
the
W
A
A
asserts
that
they
only
match
once
with
the
civic
association.
So
it
seems
that
there's
a
reconcilable
differences
between
the
two
parties.
B
P
AN
AN
Initially,
I
wanna
had
asked
for
curb
cuts
for
the
parking
space
in
the
driveway
on
the
side
in
order
to
preserve
or
I
I
guess
maximize
the
green
space
and
which
gmnc
also
agreed
with,
but
to
both
organizations
records
no
updated
designs
were
submitted
to
there
to
them,
and
at
this
time
there
are
two
letters
of
support
on
record
I'm.
Sorry,
yes,
two
letters
of
support
from
Butters
and
one
letter
of
opposition
from
gmnc
civic
association.
AM
Yes,
Madam
chair,
so
we've
had
four
meetings
with
this
project.
We
had
a
an
apprentice
meeting
sponsored
by
the
mayor's
office.
We
met
with
the
greater
management
Council
and
we
met
with
the
original
ad
neighborhood
association,
which
is
one
or
twice
with
their
March
meeting
and
me,
and
the
owner
attended
the
main
meeting.
So
we
met
with
Juana
twice
just
for
the
Rebecca
foreign.
M
B
B
AG
Yes,
Mr
Stembridge.
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
George
maranti
I'm,
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
West
Broadway
in
South
Boston
I
represent
Victoria
Banos,
the
owner
of
unit
3
of
the
404
West,
2nd
Street
condominium,
which
is
the
three
unit
condominium.
AG
My
client
owns
the
top
floor
unit
and
she's
seeking
approval.
They
have
a
private
group
deck
which
would
be
pertinent
to
her
unit
only
size
of
the
deck,
as
can
be
seen
on
the
plants.
That's
the
site
plan
being
viewed
now
will
be
approximately
190
square
feet.
It
would
be
accessed
by
meetings
of
a
new
spiral
stairway
which
would
be
added
to
my
client's
existing
rear
balcony.
So
there
would
be
neither
a
head
house
nor
Ranch
providing
access.
It
would
come
off
an
existing
rear.
Porch.
AG
Two
violations
are
cited
on
the
zoning
refusal
letter,
roof
structure,
restrictions
under
section
6829
of
the
code
and
he's
sufficient
rear
yard
setback.
Section
6829
makes
access
to
a
roof
deck
by
means
of
a
Stairway
head
house,
a
zoning
violation
of
requiring
a
conditional
use
permit,
whereas
access
by
means
the
dimensionally
compliant
hatch,
be
zoning
compliant.
The
intent
I
would
suggest
is
to
discourage
the
construction
of
rooftop
Hangouts
to
access
the
deck,
and
that
is
not
is
what
not
what
is
being
proposed
here.
Access
hereby
contrast,
would
be
by
means
of
that
spiral.
AG
The
buildings
existing
rear
portrait
structure
is
located
itself
within
the
rear
setback
as
a
pre-existing
condition,
which
means
that
simply
the
vertical
rise
of
the
proposed
Airway,
which
provides
access
within
the
existing
area
of
the
rear,
porch
plus,
this
decided
violation.
The
proposed
roof
deck
itself
is
outside
of
the
15th
foot,
rear
setback
area,
except
for
a
very
small
five
foot
wide
connection
to
the
proposed
spiral
stairway.
Providing
access.
AG
That
that's
correct
Madam
chair
the
existing
courts
against
the
best
view
in
terms
of
understanding,
The
Proposal
that
existing
Port
is,
of
course,
in
effect,
existing
instead
of
coming
up
to
a
roof
hatch,
which
would
have
essentially
made
some
zoning
compliant
project.
My
client
is
proposing
to
come
off
of
the
existing
rare
spiral.
AG
The
reason
for
this,
the
rationale
is
that
directly
beneath
the
proposed
roof
deck
is
a
bedroom
so
having
a
drop
down
air
hatch
stairway,
dropping
down
into
a
bedroom
where
there's
a
closet
where
there's
obviously
a
bed
and
Furniture
would
be
a
bit
impractical.
My
clients
feeling
was
that,
since
the
spiral
stairway
would
extend
within
the
area
of
the
existing
rear
porch
and
provide
access
to
the
roof,
deck
which
I
say
is
actually
compliant
in
terms
of
dimensional,
setback
itself
would
be
a
better
alternative
than
using
a
hatch
to
provide
access.
B
What
are
you
aware
of
other
existing
roof
decks
in
this
immediate
vicinity?.
AG
During
newer
through
decks,
this
is
not
far
from
my
office.
It's
obviously
it's.
You
know
located
on
West,
2nd
Street
in
South
Boston,
where
there
are
a
number
of
similar
effects.
B
We
do
not
I
was
told
they
did
not
receive
any
paperwork
on
this.
Okay.
L
And
I
guess
the
one
of
the
questions
for
the
architect
is:
did
they
explore
going
up
to
birthday
from
within
existing
stair
Chase?
It
would
lead
all
the
way
to
the
top.
AO
I
can
say
that
we
did
in
fact
look
at
that.
Basically,
the
spiral
staircase
even
at
a
five
foot
tight
diameter
ends
up
kind
of
eliminating
one
of
the
rooms
at
the
top
floor,
and-
and
so
since
there
already
was
a
deck
existing
in
the
rear
of
the
property
and
the
staircase
connected
connects
that
deck
all
the
way
to
the
ground.
It's
even
appropriate
to
continue
the
existing
exterior
stair
up,
rather
than
take
out
a
room
of
the
Interior
or
greatly
like
reduce
the
size
of
one
of
the
rooms
of
the
Interior.
AP
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
Anna
white,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
Owen,
asked
him
to
know.
Butters
meeting
for
404
West
Second
unit
3
and
April
26
2023
around
a
half
dozen
of
Voters
attended
the
meeting
three
stated
that
they
opposed
the
project,
mainly
due
to
fear
of
future
noise
and
want
to
better
vocalize
their
support.
Additionally,
we
have
received
15
letters
in
support
and
five
in
opposition,
including
one
from
the
St
Vincent's
neighborhood
association.
B
B
B
AD
B
AG
D
AQ
AQ
The
project
being
proposed
here
is
kind
of
a
two-piece
thing.
One
of
them
is
an
extended
living
area
in
the
what's
considered
the
basement
level
of
this
building,
as
well
as
a
roof
deck
on
the
property
in
there
within
the
condo.
If
you
go
outside
just
actually
to
the
front
cover
seat
there
again,
the
the
building
that
you
see
there,
they
own
that
left-hand
wing
of
that
building.
So
that's
that's
their
unit
there,
so
they
have
the
exclusive
air
rights
to
the
roof
above
or
the
the
roof.
AQ
The
roof
rights
there
and
they
also
then
have
which
is
currently
a
storage
area.
They
use
as
a
gym
Etc
on
the
a
kind
of
basement
level
of
the
larger
building
that
you
see
there.
On
the
right
hand,
side,
there
was
a
an
initial
mistake
when
it
came
to
the
the
single
variants
that
we
were
asking
for,
which
is
the
far
when
we
submitted
the
drawings.
AQ
We
were
under
the
impression
that
the
I
was
at
least
that
the
storage
area
is
actually
not
livable
space,
but
it
actually
is
considered
livable
space
according
to
the
assessor's
office
and
they
also
paying
taxes
on
it.
So
once
we
actually
put
that
together,
the
far
is
actually
not
being
violated
at
this
point,
and
we
are
essentially
here
because
of
the
roof
deck
with
the
iPod
pulls
there
in
East
Boston.
AQ
So
with
that
said,
then
the
extended
living
area,
the
owners
are
having
their
first
child
and
less
than
a
couple
months,
and
so
they
are
looking
to
utilize
their
space,
their
paying
taxes
on
to
convert
it
into
a
bedrooms
living
area
for
family
to
come
and
visit
and
stay
with
them
while
they're,
you
know
starting
the
family
and
growing
their
family,
and
so
the
space
that's
being
converted
in
the
basement
has
10
foot
ceilings.
The
large
Windows
have
40
inch
Sills.
AQ
So
it's
not
your
typical
basement
level
that
go
all
the
way
up
to
the
to
the
top
of
the
ceiling.
The
there's
an
existing
unit
already
in
the
basement
that
level
budding
them
and
they
also
have
a
guest
area,
a
guest
room
at
the
basement
level
in
their
current
unit.
So
the
space
really
just
behaves
more
like
a
garden
level
or
first
floor
level
space
there.
AQ
It
is
connected
to
their
existing
unit
on
that
same
level.
So,
in
the
left
hand,
side
leasing
that
that
kind
of
small
wing
that
you
see
there's
this
unit,
two
that
is
connected
into
the
larger,
extended
living
area
that
they're
proposing
for
this
space
and
again
their
best
space
that
you
see
on
the
right
inside,
is
what
is
already
being
paid
for,
with
as
livable
space
and
and
listed
in
the
Assessor's
Office.
AQ
So
that's
that
kind
of
one
portion
of
it
and
then
we
can
talk
about
the
roof.
Deck
and
I
can
then
leave
it
open
for
any
questions
from
there
and
the
the
roof
deck
itself.
They
have
an
existing
stair
on
the
side
of
their
unit.
That
already
goes
up
to
the
roof,
and
so
they're
just
going
to
be
utilizing
that
existence
there,
which
I
believe
is
the
next
slide
down
and
yeah.
So
that's
that's
their
existing
current
unit.
AQ
You
can
keep
going
down
and
then
there's
the
proposed
roof
deck
up
at
the
top
there.
So
there's
an
existing
stair
already
there
and
they
would
just
be
converting
to
that
existing
roof
into
a
roof
deck
that
would
be
privately
used
by
the
the
owner.
There
is
an
adjacent
unit
up
at
that
level.
AQ
That
would
allow
that
person
to
be
able
to
utilize
the
deck
if
they
needed
to
to
access
that
stair
to
get
down
to
the
first
level
if
they
needed
to
so
they'll,
leave
that
as
available
for
for
other
means
of
egress,
if
they
needed
that,
but
the
roof
deck
itself
would
be
there
for
the
for
the
homeowners
got
it.
Thank.

To
the
Judgment
of
this
board,
some
back
information
on
the
community
process
ons
hosted
an
abutters
meeting
for
this
proposal
on
April
13th
of
this
year.
One
of
our
attended
the
meeting
and
had
some
questions
regarding
the
roof
deck
the
applicant
presented
to
the
eagle,
Hill,
silk
Association
and
the
Maverick
Central
neighborhood
association.
On
multiple
occasions.
Both
associations
supported
the
project
and
no
concerns
were
expressed
with
that
information
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.

Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Richard
Lynn's
245
Sumner
Street
East
Boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
goal
line,
Realty
I
believe
we
also
have
a
smaller
lemus.
Who
is
the
project
architect?
This
is
probably
a
good
place
to
start
that
I'm
sure
just
to
walk
through
what
this
project
involves
because
I
know
we
do
have
three.
A
Separate
docket
numbers
so
beginning
here,
looking
at
our
site
plan,
this.
AR
AR
AR
V
AR
The
left
would
be
a
lot
containing
about
7
176
square
feet
in
the
remaining
lot,
a
little
over
70
100
square
feet.
Those
are
both
conforming
in
the
two
F
7000
district
has
seven
thousand
square
feet.
Is
the
minimum
amount
required
we
intended
to
create?
The
proposed
food
family
on
the
new
lot
entirely
by
Wright
are
as
close
to
buy
right
as
possible
for
the
2f
7000
District.
Each
of
the
units
would
be
a
little
over
1100
square
feet,
but
roughly
1150
square
feet.
Two
bed,
two
baths.
AR
AR
It
to
the
board
a
set
of
the
most
common
drawings
to
walk
through
the
additional
yeah
we
can.
We
can
use
this
Madam
chair.
It
was
just
a
slight
adjustment
in
the
actual
subdivision,
as
you
can
see
year,
yeah,
seven
one,
seven,
six
and
seven,
eight
two
four
I
know
they're
labeled
7
500..
So,
as
you
can
see
here,
the
landscaping
that's
being
proposed
behind
the
existing
two
family
structure
for
two
parking
spaces
and
then
the
four
spaces
to
the
rear.
They
would
all
be
accessed
by
a
common
easement
with.
AR
I'll
start
with
the
proposed
structure,
as
I
mentioned,
this
does
comply
with
the
two
of
seven
thousand
zoning
regulations
for
a
minimum
lot
size.
We
do
only
require
I,
believe
it's
the
rear
yard
setback,
which
is
actually
at
45
feet
to
the
building.
We
do
have
a
set
of
stairs
that
look
like
they
approach
a
bit
into
the
rear
and
setback,
but.
AR
Of
moving
the
building,
if
we
did
that
through
design
review
to
address
that,
if
ever
a
specific
concern
other
than
that,
it's
only
ancillary.
AR
There
is
already
a
non-conforming
condition
on
the
right
side
at
4.7
feet
for
the
side
yard.
That
condition
doesn't
change
because
we're
not
making
any
changes
to
the
existing
structure.
However,
because
we
do
subdivide
a
lot
that
bump
out
portion
of
the
building
on
the
left
side
of
the
existing
structures
within
five
feet
of
the
proposed
new
property
line,
we're
actually
required
to
have
a
10-foot
setback.
We.
AR
Feet
wide
and
we
would
have
about
a
17
foot
setback
between
any
proposed
structure
that
could
exist
in
the
new
line
which
clearly
meets
the
requirements
of
article
53..
If
we
could
zoom
in
I
think
you
can
see
the
proposed
rendering,
which
is
up
on
the
top
portion
of
the
screen
and
I
apologize,
I'm,
not
sure
what
happened
to
our
package
that
we
had
sent
over.
But
the
rendering
illustrates
that
you
know
we
wouldn't
be
sending
back
the
building
a
good
distance.
AR
Were
sort
of
mixed
feelings
on
whether
we
keep
the
trees
or
incorporate
new
ones,
we're
open
to
either
concept
or
idea.
We
do
have
a
substantial
amount
of
landscaping
in
and
around
the
site
that
we
are
proposing
behind
the
existing
existing
structure
other
than
that
with
about
1500
square
feet.
Minimum
of
open
space
in
each
lot,
I've
hit
me
up
per
unit
I,
should
say
we're
well
above
the
open
space
requirements.
AR
Lastly,
I
would
point
out
that
we
are
fully
cognizant
and
aware
of
the
ongoing
planning
happening
in
the
Orange
Heights
neighborhood,
including
preservation
of
one
and
two
family
zoning.
We
feel
that
this
project
meets
with
the
anticipated
intent
of
New
Zealand
for
that
district,
and
it's
I
believe
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
were
fortunate
not
to
receive
the
support
of
the
Oregon,
Heights,
neighborhood,
Council
and
I
believe
the
bpda
is
also
recommended.
Approval
I
will
pause

this
moment

Yes,
Madam

to
defer
to
the

this
board
some
background
information
on
the
community
process,
Owen
SOS
in
the
voters
meeting
for
this
project
on
January
5th
of
2023,
we
had
seven
of
Butters
join
the
call
Butters
asked
developer
to
have
a
good
Landscaping
to
help
do
screening
and
buffering
for
when
the
parking
would
be
set
up
on
the
property.
AA
One
resident
did
comment
that
the
hype
was
excessive,
but
overall
others
were
content
to
have
a
two-family
go
on
the
site.
The
applicant
then
went
on
to
present
with
the
Orient
Heights
neighborhood
Council
in
February
in
April
of
this
year.
The
council
was
pleased
with
the
proposal
of
a
two-family
home
and
they
voted
to
support
the
project
with
31
residents
in
favor
and
10
in
opposition
with
that
information
will
defer
judgment
to
the

Thank
you.
AA
AR
Through
the
chair,
there
are
a
total
of
four
parking
spaces
being
proposed
ancillary
to
the

for
the
proposed
new
structure.
So.

Yes,
Mr
secretary,
thank
you
good
afternoon.
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Attorney
John

on
behalf
of
the
applicant
Tony
Ferrara,
who
was
on
this
call
together
with
the
engineer

where
we're

This
is

as
well.
As
you
know,

The
issue

is

Department
cited
the
project
to
the
following
violation:
article
55,
section
41
Conformity,
with
existing
building
alignment,
and
that
was
in
a
refuse.
If
you
refuse
a
letter
dated
110,
23.
violation
comments,
Capone's
building
does
not
comply
with
the
existing
Pond
Street
modal
alignment
for
ease
of
reference
I
have.
Did
you
guys
receive
a
I
prepared?
AS
A
memorandum
for
the
board
was
that
distributed
to
you
that
was
submitted
through
okay,
good,
yes,
I
had
attached
to
copy
the
dimensional
regulations
applicable
to
this
one
family
sub
District
in
Jamaica
Plain
table
e
article
55..
The
issue
dispute
is
the
manner
of
calculating
the
front
yard
debt.
Note
the
table
category
itself
in
table
e
is
labeled
front
yard.
Minimum
depth
feet
in
the
table
requirement
is
25
feet.
AS
There
exists
two
or
more
buildings
fronting
on
the
same
side
of
the
street
as
such
lot.
Instead
of
the
minimum
front,
yeah
that's
Magnus
article,
the
minimum
front
yard
depth
shall
be
in
Conformity
with
existing
building
alignment
of
the
block
there
there's
no
dispute.
There
are
two
mobilities
on
Pond
Street
and
the
Undisputed
calculated
modal
of
those
buildings
is
27
feet,
so
the
zoning
code
is
25,
but
the
modal
comes
up
at
27..
AS
Therefore,
according
to
declare
an
unambiguous
language
of
this
section,
the
minimum
front
yard
depth
is
27
feet
and
Conformity
with
the
existing
building
alignment.
As
opposed
to
the
25
feet
listed
in
the
table,
the
modal
can
be
a
number
higher
or
lower
than
the
table
requirement,
depending
upon
the
built
environment.
In
either
scenario
it
merely
becomes
the
new
minimum
front
yard
depth
and
throughout
the
zoning
code
there
are
maximum
minute
and
minimum
dimensional
requirements.
AS
We
have
maximum
Building
height,
maximum
flow
error
ratio,
minimum
side
yard,
minimum
rear
yard
and
minimum
front
yard,
to
name
a
few
isd's
interpretation.
Essentially
penalizes
and
applicants
are
providing
more
than
the
minimum
front
yard.
The
applicants
propose
lot.
Size
is
almost
twice
twice
the
minimum
requirement
and
yet
ISD
is
not
citing
for
excessive
lot
size.
This
is
because
ISD
recognizes
the
word
minimum
in
that
section
of
the
code,
but
for
some
reason
does
not
hear
there
is
simply
no
support
for
an
arbitrary
application
of
the
rules
and
every
section
of
the
code.
AS
AS
So
that's
really
the
argument.
I
don't
know
if
somebody
is
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
ISD.
This
was
initially
denied
ISD
Deputy
of
Planning
and
Zoning
who's.
A
zoning
attorney
reviewed
it.
He
removed
the
violation
that
attorney
left
ISD
and
when
he
left,
this
violation
was
put
back
on
on
the
on
this
project.
L
This
is
about
interpretation,
regardless,
whichever
way
it
is
interpreted,
it's
just
a
matter
of
whether
you
would
get
a
variance
on
that.
Is
that
correct
that.
AS
AS
L
Before
so
so
we
we
just
listened
to
like
the
cases
and
we
make
a
bright
recommendation
individually
and
so
Javier
if
we
were
to
get
an
opinion
from
the
city
laws
Department.
What?
What
is
a
turnaround
to
hear
the
opinion
before
we
can
then
make
a
motion.
K
So
if
you,
the
board
makes
a
motion
to
refer
to
the
city
of
law,
City
Law
Department,
depending
if
they
would
give
it
back
within
the
next
week.
It
could
be
scheduled.
The
second
hearing
for
a
vote
to
the
next
available
hearing.
AL
L
I
like
to
make
a
motion
to
refer
the
matter
to
the
city's
Law
Department
for
an
advisory
opinion
on
the
zoneum
code
of
ISD.
Interpretation
of
the
violations
are
correct.
Y
K
AS
I
had
in
the
past,
Miss
benicarazza
I
have
participated
in
like
appeals
like
this
that
have
gone
on
to
the
law
department
and
it
usually
runs
about
six
to
eight
weeks
to
get
a
decision
from
them.
Okay,.
