Please.
A
Welcome,
mr
mccarthy,
just
a
reminder
for
you
and
every
other
applicant
that
you
you
can
choose
to
have
an
administrative
deferral.
We
are
a
five-member
board.
You
want
to
proceed.
Thank
you.
I
will
proceed.
Okay,
please.
Please
tell
us
about
your
project.
Sure.
R
R
The
unit
will
be
a
three
bedroom
two
and
a
half.
Sorry
three
bed,
three
bathroom
the
additional
bedrooms
will
be
entirely
above
ground,
there's
actually
exit
door
in
the
rear
for
this
one,
and
then
this
one
right
here-
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
my
mouse
exits
out
to
the
ground
level
as
well.
A
I
will
ask
the
usual
questions
we
ask
about
this.
What
is
the
first
of
all,
what's
the
floor
to
ceiling
height
in
the
proposed
basement,
it
is
eight
feet
eight
feet
and
that
will
be
I'm
sorry.
Eight.
R
The
current
height
is
eight
feet,
but
we
are
actually
we
don't
have
any
additional
land
in
this
building.
So
we
have
to
put
our
infiltration
system
basically
smack
dab
in
the
middle
of
the
basement,
so
we're
bringing
down
the
ceiling
height,
almost
a
full
foot,
so.
R
Far
so
the
excavation
goes
down
24
inches,
but
it's
only
going
to
give
us
an
extra,
eight
or
so
inches
of
height
right.
A
Because
you're
lowering
the
ceiling,
so
what
is
the
height
from
the
you
said
that
that
the
the
the
garden
level
on
in
the
rear
is
at
brown?
Is
it
ground
levels
and
it's
a
walkout
situation?
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
okay!
Well,
if
you're
going
down
two
feet,
that
will
that
will
no
longer
be
the
case.
I
assume
so.
R
R
A
And
what
is
the
from
the
fifth
the
new
finish
floor?
What
is
the
height
to
the
the
ground
level
outside?
What
is
the
height
from
the
floor
to
the
ground.
R
A
R
M
Look
fine,
no,
no
questions,
if
there's
not
great
information
here,
but
it
looks
like
that
is
he's
on
in
terms
of
the
height
just
real,
quick
one
question
on
the:
can
you
just
explain
to
me
just
because
it's
not
shown
on
the
plan
between
bedroom
two
and
three,
it
does
show
an
egress.
Well,
what's
the
condition
on
the
left-hand
side
off
of
your
property?
Does
that
get
access
to
a
shared.
M
R
Or
something
right
so
right
to
the
left,
you
walk
back
behind
the
building.
So
there's
a
passageway
to
the
left.
You
couldn't
go,
you
couldn't
go
to
the
front
of
the
building,
but
you
could
go
behind
it
to
the
right.
M
B
R
Garden
court,
as
well
as
that
section
of
hanover.
B
B
M
Elevations
or
sections,
but
based
on
my
assessment,
you
know
I
mean
it's:
it's
not
perfect.
Obviously,
on
on
google
maps
and
when
I
sort
of
look
through
this,
it
does
appear
that
the
grade
slopes
and
the
way
that
the
configuration
of
the
stairs
at
that
level
should
be
as
he's
saying
about
a
foot
below
which
is
actually
lower
than
a
standard
window
anyway.
So
I
think
it's
it
should
be
acceptable.
M
A
I
just
saw
the
applicant
in
general,
our
concern
about
basement
living
space
is
that
it
not
be
underground
and
the
way
the
only
way
we
can
affirmatively
determine.
That
is
if,
if
the
plants
include
elevations
or
sections
so
just
a
burn
to
the
wise
into
anybody
else,
who
is
you
know
applying
for
a
living
space
in
the
basement?
That's
that's
what
we
that's
the
only
way
we
can
really
make
a
determination.
S
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
john
romano
from
the
mayor's
office
in
neighborhood
services.
We
had
letters
of
support
from
the
north
end
neighborhood
council,
as
well
as
the
north
end
waterfront
residents
association.
We
had
also
received
an
the
applicant
also
gone
through
an
abutters
meeting
where
there
was
no
issues
raised
at
that
time.
At
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
our
judgment
to
the
board.
D
A
Us
a
little
bit
about
the
what
you're
proposing
so.
U
The
the
the
owners
want
they're,
actually
switching
owners
and
understand
to
do
that.
You
need
to
remove
the
proviso.
A
U
It's
a
restaurant.
It's
a
dominican,
restaurant!
It's
going
to
stay
the
exact
same
weight
as
well
with
the
new
owners.
Nothing
is
changing.
Same
name,
same
menu,
same
ingredients,
same
employees,
it's
just
new
ownership.
That's
awesome!
Okay,.
A
All
right
seems
pretty
straightforward.
How
are
the
plans,
mr
robinson.
M
A
Yeah
question
for
the
applicant
is
the
new
owner
experience
with
take-up.
U
O
U
We're
also
gonna
be
monitoring
it.
We
have
a
camera
out
back
pointed
and
we're
gonna
have
employees
regularly
clean
it
up.
A
What
is
the
the
new
owners
experience
with
other
situations.
U
She
had
a
restaurant
in
the
dr
dominican
republic
and
she's
also
been
an
employee
here
under
the
previous
owners.
Okay,
but.
A
W
E
Can
I
have
a
motion?
Please
emotional
approval,
a
second
second,
but
the
proviso
that
they
know
the
usual
with
the
usual
takeout
language
right.

D
X
Lee
goodman
1785
columbus,
app,
I'm
here
with
brian
vandorp
who's,
the
ceo
of
yes,
youth
enrichment
services
as
well
good,
good,
good.
A
Morning,
yeah,
just
just
a
quick
reminder,
say
this
periodically,
that
we
are
a
five
men
before
and
you
have
a
choice
of
either
referring
until
such
time
as
we
have
a
full
board
or
or
proceeding.
X
We
understand
we're
going
to
proceed.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
X
X
X
Of
the
rear,
that
being
said,
we
figured
out
a
creative
way
to
build
two
buildings
and
that
would
include
a
bus
drop
off
for
the
children
of
youth
enrichment
services
and,
if
there's
questions
later
on
about
how
they
run
that
program,
brian
is
on
to
answer.
There's
some
five
or
so
significant
variances
that
both
buildings
can
share
far
has
been
increased
from
100
to
both
1.5
and
1.8.
X
Respectfully,
the
height
is
currently
35
feet
in
the
local
industrial
zone
that
it's
in,
but
we're
going
to
45
feet,
and
the
reason
that
is
is
because
it's
in
what's
called
plan
jp
rocks
the
bpda
rezoned
this
entire
area,
and
we
are
now
aligning
with
the
zoning
that
the
vpda
wants
to
see
in
the
plan.
So
again,
both
buildings
are
45
feet
and
46
feet.
X
X
Lastly,
the
the
building
the
housing
building
does
not
include
an
affordable
unit.
However,
we
worked
with
the
neighborhood
to
create
a
benefits
package
that
was,
you
know,
equivalent
to
the
cost
of
one
unit
and
that
included
improvements
of
the
sidewalks
improvements
of
two
new
crosswalks
on
either
end
of
the
project:
a
pathway
through
the
southwest
corridor,
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
donation
to
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
development,
corporation
and
watermark
agreed
to
work
pro
bono
for
youth
enrichment
services
throughout
the
pre-development
and
construction.
X
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Yes,
I
am
very
familiar
with
with
yes,
my
son
used
their
skiing
services
many
years
ago,
okay,
so
the
violations
you've
got
you've
got
a
height
violation,
but
that's
consistent
with
the
vpda
recommendations.
You
got
rear
yard,
but
then
that's
also
mitigated
by
the
setback
and
you've
got
parking.
Is
it
anything
else.
X
The
multi-family
use,
you
know
it's
an
ally
zone.
So
at
one
point
these
were
all
commercial
spaces
on
amory,
street
and
jp,
but
you
know,
through
jp,
rocks
the
city's
looking
to
incorporate
additional
housing
into
this
area.
It's
about
a
block
from
stony
brook
t
station.
A
X
So
it's
basically
the
site
is
a
huge
easement
with
a
little
building
area
and
what
we
did
was
basically
jigsaw
puzzled,
this
design
into
it.
So
we
pushed
the
buildings
back
to
the
back
of
the
site
away
from
the
culvert.
The
lucky
thing
was
because
of
the
importance
of
the
bus
drop
off
and
the
fact
that
the
neighbors
across
the
street
were
concerned
about
height
this.
This
culvert
allowed
us
to
push
the
buildings
away
from
your
butters
across
the
street
and
mit.
X
A
X
A
Okay,
miss
mr
robinson:
how
are
the
drugs.
M
The
drawings
look
good,
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
great
program,
certainly
we
know
yes
familiar
with
them
and
what
they
do
for
the
community,
but
I
think
it's
nice
to
sort
of
see
the
end
of
residential,
especially
home
ownership
on
this
site,
which
is
a
difficult
site,
but
I
think
the
landscaping
is
consistent
with
the
community
green
space
that
basic
wow.
So
I
really
have
no
questions.
I
think
that
the
plans
look
pretty
good
and
I
understand
the
sort
of
complexity
of
the
site
between
the
culvert
and
the
railroad
track.
M
A
Any
any
questions
from
the
from
the
rest
of
the
board:
all
right
is
there.
Anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
an
opposition
to
the
project.
Y
Good
morning
my
name
is
attorney
charlotte
feneri.
I
speak
on
behalf
of
the
abutters
in
opposition
of
this
plan.
While
the
plan
does
present,
I
did
submit
a
letter
and
also
the
above,
hang.
A
On
hang
on
a
second,
we,
usually
the
order
of
speaking
is
usually
elected
officials
or
representative
elected
officials.
So
if
there's
anybody
who,
if
there
are
any
elected
officials
on
board
for
the
mayor's
office,
can
they
speak
first,
please.
Z
Yes,

while
also
receiving
88

At

out
of
the
city,
keep
us,
you
know
active
and
outdoors.
A
Okay,
so
you're,
obviously
you're
speaking
in
support,
I
assume
speaking
yes,
yes,
sir
okay,
we
are
we're
actually
primarily
looking
for
a
butter,
so
there's
no.
There
isn't
really
any
question
about
whether
yes,
it's
a
a
very
good
program.
I
think
that's.
We
all
understand
that
anybody
else
to
speak
in
support
any
other
elected
official
representatives.
G
G
A
All
right
anybody
seeking
opposition.
F
I
just
want
to
get
to
rebecca
as
well.
I'm
sorry
rebecca,
I
prompted
to
meet.
Have
you
muted
go
ahead,
rebecca.
AD
AD
We
are
extremely
supportive
of
this
project.
We
believe
the
massing
is
very
appropriate,
given
the
location
near
a
t-stop
and
fits
in
well
with
our
buildings
and
others
in
the
neighborhood.
This
density
is
really
quite
appropriate
for
this
immediate
neighborhood.
In
addition
to
the
improvements
that
will
be
made-
and
we
think
this
will
be
a
great
addition
to
the
neighborhood
and
look
forward
to
it,
proceeding
okay.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
I
think
we've
got
enough
speakers
on
and
support.
Can
we
hear
from
from
the
opposition.
Y
Good
morning
my
name
is
attorney
charlotte
and
I
represent
many
of
the
actual
persons
that
live
right
where
the
project
will
be
made.
They
welcome
the
yes
program.
They
are
happy
to
have
the
program.
It's
really
just
a
matter
about
the
height
issue.
Y
When
you're
in
jp,
you
don't
feel
necessarily
like
you're
downtown
and
the
buildings
are
just
so
high
that
you
can't
see.
What's
around
you,
many
of
the
persons
and
the
letters
that
I've
submitted
have
lived
on
armory
street
for
15
20
years,
and
this
is
their
neighborhood
and
they
were
not
included
in
this
community
process.
I'm
talking
about
directly
across
the
street
directly
next
door.
Y
When
you
just
look
at
the
list
of
persons
and
the
letters
I
supported,
we're
talking
about
the
actual
person
they'll
be
affected
most
by
this
project,
the
persons
that
are
going
to
be
living
here
and
living
with
this
project
and
obviously
the
additional
traffic
they
welcome
the
s
program.
They
welcomed
bikes
with
our
bombs
they've
in
that
project,
they
were
able
to
work
through
everything.
I
think
that
they
were
just
left
out
of
the
community
process.
Y
They
do
not
feel
that
their
issues
were
taken
very
lightly
and
they
do
support
the
entire
project
except
the
height.
They
would
like
it
to
remain
at
the
35
feet.
We
believe
the
project
can
be
accomplished
appropriately
for
that
space.
We
understand
it's
either
going
to
be
storage
or
something
additional
that
the
top
floor.
We
just
don't
think
is
needed
in
terms
of
completely
changing
what
that
area
looks
like
when
the
fort.
Y
If
the
building
was
to
be
planned,
as
proposed
all
of
my
clients
they're
not
going
to
see
the
park
anymore,
it's
just
going
to
completely
change
the
structure.
We
do
want
the
project
there.
We
are
happy
to
have
yes
here,
but
we're
just
asking
that
there
not
be
a
variance
allowed
in
terms
of
that
height
difference.
A
Thank
you.
We
got,
we
got
the
message,
so
the
issue
for
you
is
the
height.
Can
I
just
ask
the
applicant
a
question:
what
is
the
typical
height
of
the
now
I'm
obviously
very
familiar
with
the
the
area?
What's
the
typical
height
of
the
buildings
at
the
brewery.
X
Brewery,
I
think,
is
about
80
feet.
Obviously,
it's
the
tallest
building
in
the
area.
You
know
get
to
the
corner
of
gamery
and
boylston,
and
you
see
the
old
ambry
community
park
where
community
servings
is
they're
about
42
to
43
feet.
Harvard
legal
services
is
45
feet.
You
know,
I
think
the
big
thing
is
it's
currently
a
parking
lot,
so
anything
that
we
build.
X
There
feels
like
an
extreme
change
and
we
understand
that,
but
there
was
also
a
substantial
long,
jp
rocks
planning
study
that
was
done
here
and
the
entire
community
agreed
on
these
heights
and
we're
really
just
following
the
maps
that
bpda
wanted
to
see
there.
So,
okay,
no.
A
E
A
Okay,
there's,
if
there's
no
other
testimony,
can
I
have
a
motion
from
the
board.
D
D
AE
All
right,
we
are
looking
to
do
one
to
two
parking
space
here:
they're
on
the
space
right
on
the
front
yard
right
along
the
house
here
with
this
the
the
reason.
Why
is
a
lot?
AE
You
have
no
parking
space
right
now
to
park
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
it's
a
very,
very
busy
interception
intersection
there
of
houses
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
our
cars
damaged
because
it's
a
very
busy
street
and
a
lot
of
damages
in
our
cars
have
been
done
with
the
cars
because
it's
so
busy.
AE
A
Me
ask
you
a
couple
of
questions.
This
is
a
fairly
simple
proposal.
Is
there
parking
on
hancock
street,
where
you
propose
to
do
the
curb
cut
now.
AE
There
there
was
but
they're
doing
new
constructions
right
across
from
us
now,
and
we've
seen
the
plans
there
will
be
no
no
to
very
little
spaces
to
park
in
the
future.
A
A
AG
A
Yard
parking
and
we
tend
to
look
skeptically
at
just
a
no
net
change
in
terms
of
the
park
availability.
So,
okay,
mr
robinson,
what's
your
arena
to
these
plans.
M
So
I
I
think
I
concur
with
your
comments.
I'm
a
little
nervous.
It
does
feel
like
front
yard
parking
the
the
piece
of
this
that
I
guess
maybe
mr
hampton
can
speak
to
you
know
I
I
did
work
on
dot
block
and
I
permitted
that
and
part
of
dot
block
was
the
re-working
of
the
entire
hancock
intersection
that
this
falls
into,
and
I
guess
I
just
wonder
if
we
approve
this,
how
will
that
work
with
the
future
intersection
redo
on
dot
walk,
because
I
think
the
curb
lines
are
all
changing.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,.
M
D
Mr
robinson's
point
mr
demik,
who
has
spoke
like
to
maybe
put
his
comments
into
the
record.
Please
he
put
basically
in
regards
to
218
hancock
street.
He
puts
a
motion
up
to
denial
because
it's
front
yard
pocket.
Okay,.
AF
Yeah,
I
know
that
mr
robinson's
correct
they're
going
to
be
doing
that
intersection.
How
far
up
to
the
proponents
house
that
goes.
I
don't
think
it's
really
going
to
affect
the
curb
right
there
in
front
of
this
house,
but
you
know
we
also
agree
with
mr
d'amico
that
you
know:
there's
no
community
benefit
for
this.
This
is
you
know:
privatizing
an
on-street
parking
space,
okay,.
A
All
right
seems
pretty
clear,
but
can
I
have?
Can
we
take
some
testimony?
Anyone
here
to
speak
either
on
behalf
of
the
proponent
or
in
opposition.
AH
Mr
chairman,
joe
mcgregor
at
city
council,
frank
baker's
office,
we're
actually
in
support
of
the
driveway
meeting
house
hill,
had
also
supported
this
gentleman.
So
we
want
to
go
on
record
and
support.
D
A
Nobody
from
the
mayor's
office
nope,
okay
and
hello.
Yes,.
AJ
AJ
Yes,
yes,
my
name
is
clovis,
I'm
I'm
john's
nephew,
I'm
the
one
who
helped
him.
You
know
with
all
the
project
in
the
application.
I
thought
you
guys
couldn't
hear
me,
but
just
to
help
out
on
the
explanation.
AJ
On
the
pro
plan,
we
are
proposing
one
parking
space
due
to
the
fact
that
parking
will
be
very
hard
on
that
street
on
that
corner,
after
the
dot
blog
project
is
completed,
and
knowing
that
my
uncle
is
soon
to
be
pretty
much
get
into
senior
age,
and
we
would
thought
that
it
would
be
good
for
him
to
have
a
parking
space,
so
he
could
just
come
in
because
once
the
project's
done,
you
know
how
the
parking
in
that
area
will
be
very
difficult
and
we
also
had
the
abutters
meeting.
We
had
no
objection.
AJ
We
also
had
a
support
from
the
hancock
meeting
association
and
they
were
supposed
to
sending
a
letter
of
support
to
you
guys,
I'm
not
sure
if
they
actually
did
it,
but
we
so
far
we
had
found
no
objection
to
the
project
and
but
supports
to
the
project.
So,
okay,
thank.
A
You
very
much
is
there
anybody
else
to
speak
either
in
support
or
an
opposition
all
right.
It
has
been
the
practice
of
this
board
not
to
grant
relief
when
there
is
no
net
gain
and
the
parking
is
just
it's
just
a
question
of
private
privatizing
existing
spaces.
So,
given
that
can
I
have
a
motion,
please.
M
I'll
make
a
motion
to
deny,
I
think
the
front
yard
parking
is
just
something
that
we
shouldn't
allow
in
this
area.
D
D
A
A
All
those
in
favor
to
the
applicant,
I'm
sorry,
but
given
that
with
mr
ruggiero's
recusal
as
a
four-member
board,
we
don't
have
a
sufficient
number
of
members
to
hear
the
case.
So
can
can
I.

Q
Q
So,
as
mr
fortune
stated
555
metropolitan
ave,
the
zoning
in
this
neighborhood
is
neighborhood
shopping.
One.
The
lot
size
is
26
966
square
feet
for
context.
This
property
is
loading
located
to
the
rear
of
the
shopping
center
that
runs
high
park,
avenue
it's
a
mall,
a
strip
mall
and
there's
a
supermarket
a
cvs,
dunkin
donuts
t-mobile
bank
of
america,
a
shoe
store,
shoe
store
and
a
hair
salon.
The
proposal
is
to
build
a
three-story
building
with
21
condominium
units,
21
off-street
parking
spaces
and
21
bike
spaces
in
a
dedicated
bike
room.
Q
The
proposal
went
through
an
article
80
process
was
approved
by
the
bpda
board
on
july
15th.
The
design
that
you'll
be
seeing
is
a
result
of
the
arctic
leading
process.
They
wanted
something
to
look
less
commercial
in
nature.
To
address
the
violations.
The
height
allowed
in
one
district
is
35
where
36.6
feet
right
yard
is
10
we're
at
6.5.
That
was
a
result
of
the
dpda
design
review
residential.
Q
On
the
first
floor,
where
it
was
in
the
rear
of
a
commercial
district,
they
wanted
to
keep
this
building
residential
parking
in
hyde
park
is
two
spaces
for
dwelling
unit,
we're
preparing
one
supplying
one
space
for
dwelling
unit
in
the
parking
design.
Again
that
was
a
manufacturing
by
the
bpda
design.
Q
As
far
as
the
unit
mixes
there,
as
I
stated,
there's
21
total
units
16
2
bedrooms,
they
average
965
to
300
square
feet.
Five:
three
bedrooms:
they
average
1133
square
feet.
As
I
stated,
this
went
through
a
complete,
complete
article
80
process
and
will
actually
be
one
of
the
first
significant
condominium
proposals
in
hyde
park.
Q
As
part
of
this
proposal,
we'll
be
redoing.
The
curb
on
metropolitan
ave.
There
will
be
a
blue
bag
station
installed,
we're
additionally
building
a
pedestrian
pathway
to
connect
metropolitan
ave
in
the
neighboring
streets
to
high
park
avenue
to
the
shopping
center
high
park,
gas
and
transportation.
It's
a
really
long
block.
It's
approximately
a
quarter
of
a
mile
and
by
providing
this
pedestrian
access.
Q
It'll,
allow
the
residential
neighborhood
to
you,
know,
go
shopping
and
get
their
way
to
forest
hills
and
in
places
beyond,
and
that's
really
it
and
as
part
of
this
there's
also
additionally,
three
affordable
units
and
there's
going
to
be
a
cash
contribution
of
approximately
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
the
bpda
to
do
site
and
street
improvements
in
the
area.
Not
part
of
this
project
but
adjacent
to
it.
A
Q
A
Pagina,
a
few
questions:
are
these
rentals
or
condos?
Mr
chair?
These
are
condominiums,
okay
and
21
units.
I
think
I
didn't
quite
hear
what
is
what
are
the
number
of
affordable
units.
A
Q
So
the
parking
is
to
the
rear
of
the
building.
So
we
work
with
the
bpda
where
the
where
it's
located.
They
wanted
us
to
install
a
blue
bike
station
and
committed
one-to-one
parking,
which
is
similar
to
what
the
ns2
neighborhoods
in
hyde
park
do.
So
that
was
where
that
all
came
about.
Q
It
would
be
well
that's
a
very
good
point.
It
would
be
well
absorbed
the
same
person
who
owns
the
strip.
Mall
owns
this
currently,
as
this
will
be
a
subdivision,
and
the
other
thing
that,
mr
eric
that,
when
we
went
through
the
process,
the
neighbors
of
metropolitan
ave,
like
the
fact
that
this
residential
building
will
buffer
them
from
deliveries
and
things
like
that
to
take
place
in
the
rear
of
that
strip.
Mall.
A
Okay,
are
there
roof
decks
to
this
part
of
the
building?
There
is
not
okay,
and
there
was
one
other
question
that
I
had,
which
is
now
escaping
me.
Mr.
M
Are
the
plans
I
plans?
Look
good,
I
think
you
know
the
scale
of
metropolitan
is
lower.
It
seems
to
be
single
families,
but
I
think
at
this
transitional
moment
I
think
it's
it's
a
nice
move
and
I
think
the
landscape
shown
on
the
plans
is
actually
quite
successful
in
buffering
this
and
the
rear
of
the
strip
mall,
and
I
think
the
pedestrian
path
connection
is,
should
be
a
welcome
for
the
community,
so
I
I
think
it
looks
pretty
good.
I
don't
have
any
specific
questions
about
the
proposal.
Thank
you.
A
M
A
Putin,
I
remember
what
I
was
is

Are

of
occupancy
from
restaurant
to
restaurant
with
takeout,
which
also
involves
a
installation
of
a
takeout
window
and
the
removal
of
patron
restaurants.
This
is
by
the
way
this
is
a
traditionally
a
walk-up
store.
It's
not
a
drive-through
and,
just
briefly
in
background
petitioner
has
owned
and
operated
its
dunkin
donuts
franchise
at
this
location.
AP
757
center
street
jp
for
over
40
years,
my
client's
been
in
good
standing
with
the
franchisor
in
the
city
throughout
its
tenure
and
has
been
a
good
neighbor
to
the
residents
of
commercial
business
of
jp
community
in
2020.
A
Can
I
interrupt
you
for
one
moment
this
is
the
dunkin
donuts
across
from
the
fire
station?
Yes,
I'm
a
little
confused.
I
mean
I've
been
there
many
times.
I've
had
many
cups
of
coffee
from
there
and
it
I
mean
it's
a
dunkin
donuts.
It.
AP
AP
Well,
that's
what
I
was
getting
to
mr
chair.
This
is
news
to
my
client
too.
So
yeah
they
didn't,
they
did
they.
They
they
didn't
realize.
There
was
a
zoning
issue
relative
to
takeout.
It
was,
I
guess
it
was
never
a
take
out
business.
There
was
just
a
restaurant
business,
so
that
was
kind
of
the
issue,
so
they
went
in
there
in
2020
they
they
they
commenced
the
substantial
renovation
of
the
store.
As
you
know,
it's
that
corn
systems
were
outdated.
It
was
pretty
tired.
It
was
needed
upgraded.
AP
A
AP
I
understand
it's
yeah,
it
was
like
I
said
mr
chair
was,
it
was
news
to
my
client.
They
they
didn't.
V
A
A
existing
condition,
correct,
yes,
okay.
My
other
question
is
what
is
talk
about
this
issue
of
plumbing
fixtures
open
to
the
public
for
workers
use
only.
AQ
AP
Yeah,
that's
well,
that's
that's
part
of
it
when
they
were
doing
the
while
they
were
doing
the
renovations
it
was
in
the
context
the
pandemic
hit
right
after
they
started
and
they
decided
that
you
know
out
of
state.
You
know
social,
distancing
and
safety
concerns
that
it
might
be
better
to
have
a
takeout
window
just
make
it
go
straight.
Take
out
compared.
You
know,
as
opposed
to
you
know.
AP
Typical
duncan
does
have
a
you
know,
a
handful
of
tables
and
chairs
in
the
interior,
so
they
decided
to
just
make
it
completely
take
out
so
that
people
wouldn't
have
to
walk
into
the
store
out
of
the
concerns.
This
was
again
context.
This
was
the
height
of
the
pandemic
scare
in
march
of
2020
april
2020.
So
they
were
making
these
renovations
at
that
time
and
they
decided
to
make
the
change
and
they
didn't
realize
that
that
would
trigger
any
kind
of
zoning
issues.
They
were
unaware
that
the
the
property
was
not.
AP
You
know
properly,
zoned
for
or
or
permitted,
I
should
say
for
takeout
operations.
So
that's
really
what
happened
so
they
they
kind
of
started,
doing
the
renovations,
and
then
they
realized
that,
after
the
fact
when
I
noticed
by
aisd
and
that
led
to
these
petitions
to
to
correct
everything.
So
that's
that's.
Why
we're
here
the
renovation
work
has
been
completed.
You
know
again,
because
the
petitioner
didn't
realize
that
the
belief
was
needed
beforehand,
so
they
were
acting
in
good
faith
and
really
trying
to
do
something
that
was
beneficial.
AP
You
know,
given
the
the
pandemic
issues,
so
they
were,
but
they
were
just
not
aware
of
the
requirements
needed
for
the
change.
Okay,.
A
A
Than
come
here,
no,
I
I
understand
he
made
it
clear
and
you
know
the
the
the
plumbing
issue
connected
to
the
pandemic.
Sadly,
those
issues
are
not
we're
not
done
with
them,
but
I
understand
you
know
your
point.
Okay,
let's
move
forward,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
plans.
M
Plans
are
good,
no
question,
I
think
the
plumbing
change.
I
understand
the
sort
of
nuances
of
it
and
I
I
don't
see
an
issue
they're,
basically
just
getting
rid
of
the
public
bathrooms
and
providing
a
single
employee
only
bathroom,
because
there's
no
longer
seats
inside.
So
I
think
that
makes
sense
and
I
understand
why
it's
triggering
due
to
square
footage
and
occupancy
load.
So
no
issues
on
that
in
terms
of
the
building
code
and
no
questions
on
the
other
part
of
the.
A
W
AR
A
All
opposed
okay
and
just
now
to
public
testimony.
Anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
Z
Hi
yes,
good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board
tiffany
caballero,
here
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
there
were
some
community
concerns
raised
at
the
abutters
meeting
that
I
had
facilitated
back
on
september
9th,
but
all
in
all,
this
proposal
had
received
support
from
the
jamaica,
plain
association,
I'm
sorry,
the
jamaica,
pawn
association
and
the
jamaica
plain
neighborhood
council.
At
this
time
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
respectfully
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.

This
is
a
change
of
auction
from
six
residential
units
and
six
parking
spaces
to
six
residents
to
the
five
covered

space
violations;

for

AK
As
you
can
see,
this
building
is
already
constructed
this.
This
project
has
six
units
and
six
parking
spaces
was
approved
by
this
board.
Back
on
june
25th
of
2019,
we
then
went
through
the
required
design
review
process
with
the
bpda,
and
the
suggestion
was
made
to
reconfigure
the
parking
to
improve
the
design
and
functionality
of
the
parking
spaces
which
ultimately
led
to
the
reduction
of
one
parking
space.
AK
A
permit
then
issued
upon
the
plan
showing
six
units
and
five
parking
spaces,
and
in
trying
to
finalize
the
occupancy,
it
was
realized
that
the
six
and
six
was
still
on
record,
so
we're
seeking
just
the
reduction
of
one
parking
space
which
triggered
the
mentioned
violations.
There
are
no
other
changes,
the
plan
other
than
the
parking
you
can
see
in
the
rear
there.
There
are
three
parking
spaces
at
as
opposed
to
four
and
they
are
fully
enclosed
in
the
rear,
where
it
was
once
a
little
bit
open,
open
air
in
the
rear.
A
Do
you
come
back
for
a
board
final
orbiter
when
it
got
changed
from
six
to
five.
AK
We
did
not,
mr
chair,
the
the
plans
approved
by
the
bpda
were
submitted
to
isd
and
then
the
permit
issued.
So
it
was
a
bit
of
an
oversight
to
not
come
back
for
board
final
arbiter,
but
it
was
discovered
when
we
tried
to
close
out
the
occupancy.
Okay.
A
So
I
mean
in
effect
this
is
sort
of
board
final
arbiter.
After
the
fact
is
what
you're?
Looking
at
okay.
A
To
say,
mr
fair,
all
right,
how
are
the
drawings,
mr
robinson.
A
Okay,
well,
this
is
a
pretty.
I
can
see
why
it's
pretty
straightforward.
Can
I
have
a
motion,
then
emotional
proof
is
there
a
second.

AS
Mr
chair
and
members
of
the
board
kyle
smith
of
kds
law
business
address
of
359
newbury
street
in
boston
back
bay.
I
also
have
the
project
architect
on
the
line
with
me
as
well.
A
Okay,
mr
smith,
can
you
describe
how
this
is
going
to
change
from
two
to
a
three.
AS
Yes,
sir,
so
we
essentially
are
trying
to
perfect
and
legalize
a
pre-existing,
non-legal,
not
identified
third
unit,
which
is
on
the
first
floor
of
the
building.
AS
Their
elevations
are
that
basically,
the
first
floor
is
entirely
exposed
both
from
front
and
also
from
rear,
so
we
have
for
decades
now
a
three
unit
building
for
which
there
is
a
legally
identified
unit.
On
the
second
and
third
floor,
the
first
floor
unit
has
not
been
legal
or
identified
with
the
city,
so
we
essentially
have
a
pre-existing
condition
for
which
we
are
trying
to
then
legalize
it.
There
is
no
current
parking
on
off
street
on
the
parcel.
AS
AS
We
have
a
relatively
small
lot
size.
We
have
a
building
with
a
relatively
you
know,
narrow
footprint,
so
we
have
an
far
violation
and
we
also
have
a
usable
open
space
violation
which
arguably
is
pre-existing
the
proponent
in
applicant,
understands
and
appreciates
that
upzoning
from
a
2-3
family
requires
sprinkling.
AS
There
any
proposed
work.
No,
sir,
the
intent
is
to
maintain
everything
exactly
as
it
has
been.
It's
been
presented
that
way
through
the
entire
community
process,
and
we
have
you
know,
arguably
unanimous
or
overwhelming
support
for
the
up
zoning
based
upon
the
fact
that
the
entire
neighborhood
has
known
this
to
be
three
family
for
decades
now,
and.
AS
They
are
currently
maintained
as
rental
once
this
is
perfected.
I
guess
the
owner
would
reserve
the
right
to
turn
them
into
condos
later,
but
they
are
currently
maintained
as
a
a
rental
property.
So
the
the.
AS
Live
there,
the
owner
does
not
live
there,
sir.
He
does
live
locally
to
the
boston
area,
but
not
there.
Sir
okay.
A
So
is
in
this
part
of
what
triggered
this,
the
thought
of
potentially
transforming
into
condos.
AS
I
don't
think
so,
sir.
My
client
purchased
the
property.
It
was
discovered
in
the
analysis
for
the
purchase
that
this
was
a
illegal
unit.
Okay,
so
we're
trying
to
you
know,
do
our
due
diligence
and
perfect.
It's
okay.
A
Oh,
and
how
is,
how
is
it
currently
taxed
as
two
or
three.
AS
I
will
let
the
arc
confirm,
but
I
believe
so.
Yes,
sir.
AT
I
believe
it
is
separately
meter
for
each
unit.
A
For
each
of
the
three
so
three
separate
meters,
I
believe
so
yes,
okay,
okay,
all
right!
Well!
This
seems
also
relatively
straightforward,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
drawings.
M
Drawings
are
good,
no
questions,
it
does
have
a
little
bit
of
a
hill,
but
it
makes
perfect
sense
and
there
there
is
a
separate
access
for
utilities
off
the
rear.
That
seems
to
be
segregated
from
the
unit
as
it
is
so
no.
A
AJ
AS
A
That
that's
why
I
asked
if
there
was
any
additional
work.
If
there
isn't,
then
it's
existing
conditions.
Okay,
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
proponent.
Z
Hi
yes,
good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board
tiffany
caveto
here
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
this
applicant
completed
the
community
process
with
no
opposition
from
director
butters
back
on
july
21st
at
the
jpmc's
monthly
civic
association
meeting.
They
approved
this
proposal
at
this
time.
The
mayor's
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.

E
AU
AU

Follow
the
last
case
to

calling
doa

baker

This
is
an
installation
of
a
pylon
sign
for
cap
memorial,
108
inches
by
26
and
26
inches,
which
was
approved
by
the
vpda,
the
violation
of
article
56,
section
38,
three
standing
signs
of
use
conditional
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
AV
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
chairman
and
members
of
the
board.
We
have
a
freestanding
sign
that
we
are
looking
for
a
waiver
on
approximately
nine
foot
tall,
four-sided
sign
that
will
go
out
in
a
recently
redone
landscaped
area
in
the
main
entrance
area
of
the
school
you
can
see
by
that
picture.
That's
scrolling
by
right!
Now
we,
in
addition
to
continuing
to
do
some
work
from
an
aesthetic
perspective
on
our
two
main
side
streets
there,
brother
hamway
and
along
baker
street.
AV
AV
And
so
by
doing
this,
just
not
only
for
the
where
to
do
this
and
enter
the
school,
but
also
for
the
safety
of
the
school,
so
that
we
have
visitors
the
school
coming
through
one
main
entrance
area.
We
feel
strongly
that
having
this
beacon,
that's
off
the
front
of
the
building
there,
just
by
a
little
bit,
will
will
serve
a
number
of
different
important
values
for
the
school.
AV
So
we
are
seeking
a
waiver
to
install.
Have
this
sign
installed.
We
were
in
front
of
the
neighborhood
west
raspberry
committee
group
back
in
late
october
and
received
approval
from
that
group
at
that
time.
A
AV
A
26
inches
square
by
nine
foot
high.
So
that's
good!
That's
correct!
Okay!
Can
you
go?
Can
you
go
back
one
slide
to
the
so
we
can
see
it
in
context.
Okay,
all
right,
mr
robinson,
exhaust.
M
Looks
good
to
me:
I
do
have
the
approved
bpa
stamp
drawings
that
they've
reviewed
this.
So
no
questions
from
me
any.
AW
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board
jack
duggan
mayor's
office,
neighborhood
services,
deployed
to
go
on
record
well,
the
upcoming
went
before
the
west
russian
neighborhood
council
back
in
late
october,
like
brian
mentioned,
he
received
their
full
support.
In
addition,
we
also
received
a
few
phone
calls
from
neighbors
who
are
fully
supportive
at
this
time.
I'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
A
D
A
That's
an
excellent
idea,
mr
fortune,
just
a
reminder
to
any
of
the
applicants
who
are
recently
joining
us
today.
We
are
a
five-member
board,
which
means
you
need
a
unanimous
vote
for
a
motion
to
carry
we're
ordinarily
seven-member
board
and,
given
that,
if
an
applicant
would
choose
not
to
be
heard
today,
you
can
ask
for
a
defer
administrative
referral
which
will
be
automatically
granted.
So
I
would
just
every
advocate:
has
that
choice
to
either
go
forward
or
to
ask
for
the
deferral.
D
D
Hearing
none,
I
call
the
first
case
calling
doa
124
57607
putnam
street.
This
is
to
add
a
third
dwelling
unit
on
the
top
of
an
existing
two-family
structure.
Creating
a
three
family
building
within
the
existing
building
footprint
will
renovate
an
existing
two
floors.
We
build
exterior
rear
deck.
The

The

the
floydia

is

D
D
AO
Yes,
so
what
I'm
proposing
to
do
is
to
add
a
floor
on
the
the
two
family
building
in
the
middle
of
the
the
picture
on
the
left,
to
make
it
into
a
three
unit
building,
as
shown
on
the
the
picture
on
the
right,
I
also
plan
on
a
renovating
the
existing
two
floors.
They
haven't
really
seen
any
type
of
real
renovations
about
the
50s
60s.
AO
I
also
have
my
architect
on
the
line
too
david
shore
that
might
be
helped
with
any
other.
With
any
question
does
that
come
up
as
well.
AY
Thank
you,
joshua.
Thank
you,
members
of
the
board
for
for
hearing
this
case.
AY
I'm
david
architect,
working
on
behalf
of
mr
joshua
acevedo,.
A
Okay,
tell
us,
so
what
are
the?
What
are
the
size
of
the
current
units
and
what
will
be
the
size
of
the
third
unit.
AY
Okay,
the
current
unit
is
approximately
1
100
square
feet
and
we're
we're
planning
to
add
another
thousand
one
hundred
square
feet
to
the
third
floor.
The
intention
yes.
A
Sir
you're
maintaining
the
same
footprint
correct
yes,
sir
okay,
and
are
these
condos
or
rentals,
currently
rentals
they're
rentals
and
they
will
stay
that
way.
AO
A
AO
Correct,
yes,
sir,
the
other
building
on
the
left
has
been
ever
since
it
was
first
built.
There's
a
three
unit
that
looks
like
four
because
of
the
the
slope
of
putnam
street
and
then
the
building
on
the
the
right
side
is
a
a
newer
structure
that
just
went
up
within
the
last
year
or
two.
A
AY
Yeah
so
section
nine
lot
area
is
insufficient.
It's
a
zone
for
two
f,
two
thousand
the
lot
size
is
fourteen
hundred
and
twenty
five
square
feet.
So
that's
an
existing
non-conforming
condition,
sir.
The
the
height
is
excessive.
It's
not
the
height
of
the
building
of
35
feet,
but
rather
it's
the
fact
that
we
are
adding
another
level
to
the
three
stories.
It's
not
that
it's
no
longer
2.5,
but
we
are
maintaining
the
35
feet,
trying
to
keep
it
under
the
35
feet.
The
front
yard
is
insufficient.
AY
It's
not
is
this
the
non-conforming
condition
the
side
yard
is
sufficient,
but,
however,
there
is
a
a
rather
wide
three
foot
exceeding
three
foot.
Two
inches
width
on
the
left
side
for
egress
from
the
back.
The
rare
yard
is
insufficient,
but
that's
not
also
not
conforming,
we're
keeping
to
the
existing
footprint
of
what
is
shown
on
the
plot
plan
and
the
again
the
off-street
parking.
Currently
there
are
no
off-street
parking
and
it's
a
non-conforming
condition.
A
AY
It
would
include
the
top
of
the
roof
deck.
If
you
look
at
the
top
of
the
group,
it's
34
inches
and
if
we're
adding
within
you
know,
within
five
foot
height
we're
going
to
keep
two
we're
going
to
that
35
foot
less
than
35
foot.
A
AO
A
AO
M
Plans
are
good
the
the
build,
as
you
know,
you
said
the
the
building
fits
in
in
the
context
with
the
adjacent
buildings.
I
think
the
ad
is
is
fine.
No
no
questions
are
that
and
there
is
no
head
house
or
rear
access,
as
you
mentioned
as
well.
That's
through
sort
of
the
existing,
I
guess
back
stairs
that
will
be
expanded
as
well.
So
no.
A
Any
questions
on
the
board
is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
at
behalf
of
the
proponent.
AZ
Yes,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
likes
to
refer
to
the
judgment
of
the
board
some
background
information
regarding
the
community
process
led
by
ons.
AZ
P
A
Okay,
well,
in
the
absence
of
any
further
testimony,
can
I
have
a
motion
please.
D
For
calling
the
next
case
come
to
voa
one,
two,
five,
four,
six,
six,
three:
twenty
two
prospects

this
sticker
fair

is
a
three
family
dwelling
renovate.
The
existing
three
family
dwelling
propose
a
new
first
and
second
floor
deck.
Roof
deck
extend
living
space
to
the
basement
violations;
article

article

the
floating

is
article

section

the

successive

defeat,
and
article

section
8.
The
rare
yacht
is
insufficient
name
and
address
for
the
record
plan.
N
We
are
taking
this
three
unit
building
in
charlestown
at
22,
prospect
street
and
doing
a
gut
renovation
converting
it
into
three
condominium
units.
The
proposal
included
side,
decks,
a
roof,
deck
and
interior
reconfiguration.
A
Okay,
so
the
roof
deck
is
new
and
the
side
decks
are
new.
That's
correct!
Okay!
So
let's
hope,
let's
go
through
this
piece
by
piece.
The
first
unit
you
proposing
to
extend
living
space
to
the
basement.
N
There's
currently
access
that
combined
the
first
floor
to
the
basement,
but
we
are
proposing
to
remove
the
rear
stair,
which
was
the
current
axis
from
the
first
floor
into
the
lower
level
and
we're
extending
the
main
stair
down
into
the
lower
level.
There
was
a
rear
stair
that
went
from
the
lower
level
to
the
roof
and
we're
proposing
to
extend
the
main
stair
one
stair,
one
staircase
into
the
lower
level
and
one
staircase
to
a
relocated
head
house
at
the
roof.
N
A
N
Was
a
portion
of
it
was
a
utility
space
and
the
other
portion
of
it
was
like
a
living
living
space
that
was
combined
with
the
first
floor
to
the
to
the
rear
of
the
in
the
l.
Basically,.
N
A
Okay,
I
know,
but
I
mean,
if
you're
extending
living
space
from
one
unit
on
the
ground
floor
to
the
basement,
then
you
have
to
have
an
interior
staircase
that
is
dedicated
solely
for
that
use.
Well,.
N
A
Okay:
let's
talk
about
the
basement:
what's
the
floor,
ceiling
height.
A
Okay,
and
do
you
intend
to
increase
that?
Because,
if
it's
yeah
we're
increasing.
N
It
to
eight
feet,
but
we're
going
down
you're
you're
excavating
to
get
that
extra.
A
All
right,
so
how
does
that?
What
does
that
do
our
concern
in
living
space
investment
is
natural,
light
and
sort
of
the
avoiding
the
dungeon-like
qualities.
N
To
grid
is
will
be,
will
be
four
feet.
A
A
And
what
will
be
the
once
you
excavate?
What
will
be
the
floor
to
seal
height
of
the
window.
A
Inches:
okay,
all
right
and
now,
let's,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
the
the
new
roof
deck
is
that
accessible
by
all
three
units
or
just
the
top.
N
A
M
N
Yeah,
these
are
the
ones
yeah.
These
are
the
ones.
M
A
These
are,
these,
are
the
ones
the
more
until
get
to
an
elevation.
B
B
M
A
A
N
House,
basically
to
get
onto
the
roof,
I
don't
there
may
have
been
a
deck
there.
One
time
I
have
no
idea,
but
the
the
existing
head
house
was
on
the
l
of
the
building,
which
is
only
11
feet
and
a
few
inches
wide
and
it
and
you
exited
the
head
house
kind
of
towards
the
back
of
the
of
the
lot.
So
it
was
a
little
treacherous
to
try
to
reconfigure
that
to
to
create
a
deck
back
there.
A
Wide
so
the
existing
head
house
is
going
to
go
as
part
of
your
proposal
right
exactly:
okay,
well
that
well.
That
gives
us
a
a
fresh
opportunity
to
re-look
at
the
issue
of
access.
Okay,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
drawings.
A
M
Yeah,
but
I
want
to
check
one
thing,
because
if
you
see
on
the
rear
bottom
that
that's
the
bedroom,
the
windows
are
actually
shown
but
they're
below
grade
on
the
lower
sash.
If
you
understand
what
that's
going
on
in
the
drawing,
but
yes
I'm
trying
to
understand
because
it
does
look
like
the
sight
falls
away
in
the
back.
N
N
A
So
so
just
so
I'm
clear,
I
think-
and
I
understand
exactly
mr
robinson's
confusion,
because
in
this
drawing
the
one
that
we
have
up
on
the
screen,
it
looks
like
the
bottom
of
the
of
the
sill
of
the
windows
is
below
gray
and
so,
and
so
you
would
need
a
window
well
in
order
to
to
put
windows
in,
but
you're
saying
they
look
out
on
the
patio.
So
is
this.
Is
this
drawing
in
the
error?
M
The
old
ambassador,
well,
this
method
could
go
to
the
last.
I
think
it's
the
last
or
second
to
last
pay
right.
There
stop
on
these
three
dimensional
views
here.
You
can
see
a
little
bit
better,
it's
a
little
hard
to
tell,
but
those
windows
then
seem
to
be
consistent
with
the
patio
height,
which
is
a
little
bit
of
a
different
story.
So
I
guess
the
one
thing
we
could.
M
A
A
For
me,
other
than
those
things,
okay,
any
questions
from
the
board
is
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
proponent.
BA
Yes,
good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
foreign
stapleton
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
there
is
an
abutters
meeting
held
by
our
office
on
october
18th.
Any
concerns
shown
by
our
butters
were
addressed
in
the
west
support
shown
at
the
meeting
at
this
time.
The
mayor's
office
would
like
to
respectfully
diverge
the
board.
Thank
you.
M
A
motion
to
approve,
I
would
like
to
see
the
head
house
removed.
I
think
it's
too
prominent
now
on
the
front
of
the
building,
whereas
before
it
was
on
the
rear.
So
I'd
like
to
see
the
head
house
removed
in
roof
access
for
the
hatch
and
then
I
also
will
want
sort
of
special
attention
in
terms
of
a
proviso
that
vpda
review
the
grades
at
the
rear
to
ensure
that
those
are
full
height
windows
at
the
rear.
D
Mr
chair
secretary,
here
I'm
sorry,
I
I
did
have
two
letters.
One
support
and
one
in
opposition.
The
opposition
was
the
deck.
A
Okay,
okay,
so
mr
robinson
has
made
a
motion:
is
there
a
second?
Second
all,
those
in
favor,
aye,
aye,
all
opposed
the
emotion
is,
carries
with
those
providers.
D
In
each
case,
calling
voa
124

hudson

this
is
to
remove
the
proviso
take

granted
to
the

Only

and

F
D
Looks
like
miss
mr
chad,
jim
chan,.
D
D
Well,
the
person
who's
on
right
now,
mr
mr
chair
they're
trying
to
talk,
but
unfortunately
I
don't
think
they're
working
okay.
F
BB
K
Okay,
my
name
is
bonnie
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
jim
chan,.
K
K
It
was
the
back
kitchen
storage
for
the
first
floor
restaurant,
so
it's
subdividing
it
and
having
its
own
coffee
shop.
A
K
A
K
A
And
how
you
go,
it's
underground!
You
go
down
stairs
from
the.
K
A
Okay
and
there
will
be-
and
there
will
be
takeout
as
part
of
this.
A
Take
out
only
okay,
who
is
the
who,
who
is
the
owner?
Is
it
mr
chen.
K
No
jim
chen
is
the
architect
also
and
he's
out
on
a
side
visit
this
morning.
So
I'm
feeling
for.
A
So
so
who's
the
owner
who's
right.
A
Okay,
and
has
that
ownership
have
previous
experience
with
takeout.
K
A
So
they
know
the
various
the
various
provisions
that
are
involved:
okay,
okay,
all
right,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
drawings.
M
The
drawings
are
fine,
I
guess
I
have
one
question.
As
you
mentioned,
this
is
in
the
basement
since
you're
turning
this
into
a
public
accessed
restaurant
or
takeout.
How
are
you
handling
accessibility
to
the
lower
level.
K
M
We
don't
have
the
zoning
board
right,
so
I
think
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there
currently
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
any
accessibility.
We
don't
we
don't
grant
relief.
For
that.
I
just
want
to
point
that
out.
I
think
that's
a
question,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
members
of
the
board
understand
no
questions
on
the
proposed
scope,
but
there
is
no
accessibility
currently
to
the
lower
level.
So,
okay.
A
Okay,
okay,
yeah
and
mr
mr
robinson's
point
is
well
taken.
The
the
issue
of
handicap.
Accessibility
is
not
our
purview,
but
I
don't
know
whether
somebody
else
some
other
regulatory
body
may
raise
it
as
an
issue.
AZ
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
mayor's
office
at
this
time,
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment
some
background
information
regarding
the
community
process.
The
applicant
had
met
with
the
chinatown
south
koch,
neighborhood
council
back
in
august
of
2019
had
recently
checked
back
in
with
them.
That's
the
extent
of
my
notes,
right
now,.
A
So
conor
you
said
it
was
2019.
How
come
nothing's
happened
since
then.
AZ
The
applicant
might
be
able
to
address
that.
I'm
not
sure
if
it
was
a
backlog
with
with
the
pandemic,
if
maybe
they
put
things
on
hold.
K
Right,
it
was
at
first
we,
the
client
thought
they
don't
have
to
go
in
front
of
the
cba,
so
they
submitted
for
a
permit
took
a
while
to
you
know,
get
back
with
the
pandemic
too.
AB
M
A
D
Following
the
next
case,
calling
doa
one
two,
five,
eight
six,
three
one,
ten
twenty
seven
to
ten
twenty
nine
tremont
street-
this
is
a
chained
arc
of
two
residential
units
and
store
it
to
three
residential
units
and
restaurant
would
take
out
bar
and
also
erect
a
fourth
story
edition
with
roof
tech.
The
violations,
article
32,
section,

g
card

article

section,

D
AN
Yes,
I
am,
mr
chairman
good
morning,
members
of
the
board,
christian
siminelli,
boston,
groundwater
trust,
and
we
have
both
the
bus,
water
and
sewer
approval
and
no
harm
certification
letter
very.
A
AN
AK
You
christian,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So,
as
mentioned
in
the
description
we
are
seeking
to
change
the
occupancy
from
two
residential
units
and
a
store
to
three
residential
units
and
a
restaurant.
The
takeout
on
the
bar
are
both
incidental
to
the
restaurant
use.
It
will
function
primarily
as
a
typical
restaurant,
we're
also
seeking
to
erect
a
one-story
edition
with
the
roof
deck.
AK
So
just
if
this
project
looks
familiar
to
some
of
the
board
members,
it
was
actually
approved
back
in
february
27
of
2018
and
went
through
a
full
bpda
design
review
process.
However,
once
final
construction
documents
were
submitted
to
inspectional
services,
it
was
discovered
that
the
the
zoning
approval
relief
had
expired,
so
we're
back
here
once
again.
AK
It
is
a
new
project,
but
it
is
the
same
parameters
of
what
was
previously
approved
if
it
does
look
familiar
just
to
run
through
the
floor
plans,
so
the
restaurant
is
proposed
to
be
on
the
lower
level
and
the
first
floor.
The
lower
level
would
house
the
kitchen
serving
area
and
a
bathroom.
AK
The
upper
level
of
the
restaurant
will
contain
the
primary
dining
area,
as
well
as
another
bathroom
with
26
seats.
All
together,
the
restaurant
will
be
about
1500
square
feet.
The
second
and
third
floors
will
remain
relatively
the
same.
Currently,
there
are
existing
two-bedroom
units
on
both
the
second
and
third
floor.
There'll,
be
some
minor
interior
renovations
to
improve
the
functionality
of
the
units,
but
overall
they'll
stay
the
same
and
then
on
the
fourth
floor,
we're
proposing
approximately
an
800
square
foot
two
bedroom
unit,
two
bath
with
a
step
buddy.
AK
We
are
also
proposing
a
roof
deck.
Apparently
there
exists
a
head
house
and
a
small
roof
deck
we're
proposing
to
bump
that
head
house
up
one
story
to
then
access
the
new
rooftop.
I
would
point
out
we
are
proposing
to
keep
the
roof
of
the
head
house
in
approximately
the
same
position,
which
is
about
half
to
two-thirds
of
the
way
back
away
from
the
street.
So
it
is
not
visible
from
the
street
in
terms
of.
AN
AK
We
address
the
g-cod
far
3.0
is
allowed
we're
proposing
a
4.3.
This
is
a
pre-existing
violation,
open
space
you're
required
to
have
50
square
feet
per
dwelling
unit,
we're
proposing
approximately
400
with
the
new
roof
deck.
We
are
enlarging
the
roof
deck,
so
we're
actually
improving
this
previously
existing
violation.
AK
We
already
required
to
have
20
feet.
We
are
staying
within
the
footprint
of
the
existing
building,
so
we're
proposing
a
zero
lot
line
that
is
pre-existing
and,
finally,
we're
required
to
have
one
additional
parking
space
for
the
additional
unit.
As
you
can
see
from
the
pictures
with
the
existing
structure,
we
cannot
provide
any
parking
so
there's
zero
spaces
and
with
that
I'll
pause
and
take
any
questions
from
the
board.
A
Okay,
so
I'm
a
little
confused
you're
saying
that
this
is
essentially
the
same
proposal
that
came
before
this
board
some
years
ago
and
then
for
a
variety
of
reasons
was
delayed.
But
I
thought.
A
Saying
there's
some
some
some
changes
to
that
proposal,
which
which
is
it.
AK
No
this,
these
are
the
these
are
the
exact
plans.
I
apologize
if
I
most
misspoke,
but
these
are
the
plans
that
were
previously
approved.
The
the
previous
relief
expired
right
before
that
pandemic
started.
So
I
understand.
AK
Understood,
mr
chairman,
these
are
the
plans
that
were
submitted
previously
and
went
through
bpa
design
review,
so
they.
U
A
Okay,
that
I
mean
once
you
what
you're,
adding
a
story
and
you're
removing
the
old
head
house,
then
there
seems
to
be
a
fresh
opportunity
for
or
an
opportunity
for,
a
fresh
look
at
how
to
access
the
the
roof
deck
and
I'm
just
quite
a
large
head
house
and
a
little
I'm.
I
I
don't
recall
it,
but
I'm
quite
surprised
that
we
would
have
proved
it
in
the
form
that
is
presented
today.
A
So,
okay,
how
are
the
drawings
mr
robinson.
M
A
BD
Good
morning,
chairman
and
members
of
the
board,
this
is
jason
gant
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
and
a
butters
meeting
was
held
on
september
20th
2021,
in
which
they
had
seven
participants.
They
answered
all
questions
raised
by
all
the
butters
and
also
do
have
support
from
two
who
are
on
the
abutters
meeting.
We
are
going
to
be
deferring
to
the
expertise
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
A
Why
we
are
quiet
all
right,
okay,
can
I
have
mr
robinson,
would
you
care
to
make
a
motion.
M
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
the
removal
of
the
head
house
and
access
through
a
roof
hatch.
M
I
mean
it's
pretty
straightforward.
It
looks
pretty
good
to
me,
mr
hampton,
do
you
you
want
to
see
it
and.
M
It
could
be
approved
with
the
if
the
proponents,
okay,
with
removing
of
the
head
house,
I
think
it
can
be
approved
with
the
removal
of
the
head
house
and
no
bpda
design
review.
I
guess
that's.
V
E
A
M
Yeah
sorry
you're
correct,
I'm
sorry
I
did
so.
I
will
make
a
motion
to
approve,
with
the
production
community
bpa
design
review,
to
reduce
the
size
of
the
head
house
to
be
less
visually
intrusive.
A
Yeah
even
mr
option,
I
would
agree
even
with
leaving
a
head
house,
it
could
certainly
be
severely
reduced
in
size,
correct.
Okay,
sorry.

BE
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
joe
hanley
mcdermott,
wilkie
miller,
28th
state
street
in
boston
on
behalf
here,
on
behalf
of
and
with
the
proponent
wind
development
bill
cohen
who's.
The
representative
of
wynn
is
with
us
also
with
me,
is
project
architect,
jeff
sarges
from
tat,
mr
chair.
If
I
may
just
give
you
a
brief
summary
of
this
project,
take
you
to
the
site
you'll
see
in
the
second
slide
the
property
site
at
154
terra
street,
in
the
aerial
photograph
on
the
presentation,
I
believe
that's
the
vba
or
the
isd
submission
you're.
BE
Looking
at
now,
but
in
any
case,
this
is
the
second
and
final
phase
of
winds.
Pickles
nights
and
development
on
tara
street
in
mission
hill,
which
is
the
back
of
the
hill
terrace
street,
is
in
a
local
industrial
zone
that
is
becoming
more
residential
and
pedestrian
and
field
by
design
through
transportation,
planning
and
neighborhood
objectives.
BE
The
property
site
is
immediately
next
to
the
first
phase
that
wind
developed
in
2011
are
provided
in
2011,
and
that
is
a
62-unit
residential
building
at
six
stories,
and
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
to
activate
the
vacant
parking
lot,
which
is
immediately
next
to
it.
BE
The
proposal
is
to
develop
a
six-story
building
of
home
ownership,
the
first
phase
of
pickled
diets
and
was
a
mix
of
mostly
rental,
mostly
homeowner,
and
some
home
ownership,
but
also
mostly
affordable,
and
this
is
to
provide
to
finish
the
mixed
income
community,
with
64
units
of
residential
home
ownership,
good
sized
units,
no
studios,
all
one
and
two
bedroom
units.
We
have
18
two-bedroom
units
and
48
one-bedroom
units
and
the
two-bedroom
units
at
average
around
a
thousand
square
feet
and
the
one-bedrooms
average
around
650.
So
this
is
not
a
compact
program.
BE
One
of
the
things
mr
chair,
we
introduced
with
this
project,
which
is
a
bit
unique
as
well,
is
some
open
space
between
the
exist,
the
existing
factory
building
in
phase
one
and
are
building
a
25
foot
relief
zone
by
30
for
a
pocket
park,
and
that's
meant
to
activate
the
front
of
terra
street
and
break
up
the
street
wall.
BE
We
also
have
because
this
is
home
ownership
we've.
We
have
a
roof
tech
program
on
the
top
and
that's
actually
shown.
BE
I
don't
know
if
you
have
the
the
presentation
in
addition
to
this,
but
we
do
have
that
rendered
and
there
are
six
pods
and
the
intent
of
that
and
you'll
see
that
just
in
the
gray
hash
of
the
box
of
what
you're
looking
at
now
is
to
provide
small
private
functioning
pods
rather
than
one
large
roof
deck,
so
that,
in
this
post
covered
world
unit,
owners
can
sign
up
and
utilize
that
space
and
that's
accessed
by
the
elevator
override
and
by
a
second
mean
of
stairs,
mitigated
by
the
fact
that
it
is
at
the
back
of
the
building
and
over
the
tracks
and
further
looking
towards
the
southwest
corridor
and
away
from
the
residential
neighborhood
for
the
zoning.
BE
We
need
a
experience
for
that
in
order
to
provide
the
largest
scale
of
much
needed
home
ownership
in
mission
hill
and
a
height
variance,
which
is
also
mitigated
by
that
major
change
in
grade
as
you're
looking
down
at
us.
Zoning
requires
40
we're
8110
the
building
to
the
right
of
us,
which
is
the
phase.
One
is
about
72
feet
in
height,
and
then
we
need
a
rear
yard.
Variance.
We're
close
to
the
line,
but
off
the
rear
line
is
the
railroad
tracks
again.
BE
A
You're,
the
first
one
today
too
the
so
can
you
walk
us
through
again
the
number
of
the
breakdown
of
the
units
in
terms
of
number
of
bedrooms
and
and.
BE
Yeah
and
I
and
I
apologize
if
you
I
know
that
you
guys
usually
have
two
presentations.
This
is
the
isd
submission
you're
showing
now
and
we
had
submitted
the
presentation.
This
is
an
article
80
large
project
review,
so
this
yeah
here
you
are,
and
so,
if
you
look
at
page
five,
adam
ambassador
yeah,
there
you
go
so
again:
48
one
bedroom
units
and
18,
two
bedroom
units
for
a
total
of
66
and
the
one
bedroom
units
range
between
630
up
to
670
square
feet.
BE
The
two-bedroom
units
are
970
to
1025
square
feet
and
again
this
is
home
ownership.
So
we
thank
god.
A
A
BE
So
if
you
know
in
mission
hill,
you
know
especially
for
condos,
that
from
a
market
standpoint
are
price
per
square
foot.
Oftentimes
three
bedrooms
are
very
expensive.
The
demographics
show
that
you
know
there
is
for
for
couples
also
for
single
people,
but
also
those
two
yen
unit
buildings
that
allows
people
enough
room
also
to
work
from
home,
even
in
the
one-bedroom
units,
and
it's
interesting.
We
process
this
really
closely
with
the
neighborhood
housing
services
group,
which
knows
housing
dynamics
pretty
well
and
to
your
point.
BE
We
actually
started
with
smaller
units,
and
this
was
the
level
that
we
ended
up
at,
especially
as
we
begin
the
seed
home
ownership
in
mission
hill.
As
you
know,
mr
chair
there's
an
overabundance
of
rental
housing
in
mission
hill,
but
not
a
lot
of
homeownership
in
the
buildings
there's
home
ownership
and
in
large
buildings
I
should
say-
and
so
we
also
want
something
that
is
going
to
be
successful,
and
we
feel
that
this
hits
that
market
demographic,
so.
A
I
mean
you
know,
obviously
it's
not
geared
towards
families
or
large
families,
and
I
understand
my
concern
is
that
it
could
lend
itself
to
sort
of
speculative
development
people
buy
the
units
and
then
and
rent
them.
You
want
them
out
and
there's
a
high
degree
of
turnover
and
churn,
and
I'm
wondering
whether
you
know
there
are
have
been
other
projects
where
there
have
been
deep
restrictions
and
and
measures
putting
the
covenants
to
to
try
to
stop
that
from
happening.
Is
that
has
that.
A
BE
Yes,
so
as
part
of
the
article
80
process,
we
worked
really
hard
with
the
neighborhood.
We
have
a
binding
mou
with
the
neighborhood
and
obviously
they
can
speak
for
themselves,
but
it
requires
certain
benchmarks
and
also
requires
that
that
those
benchmarks
be
put
into
you
know
the
condominium
documents,
but
also
at
certain
points
right
and
that
is,
and
restrictions
on
long-term,
short-term
rentals
excuse
me
restrictions
on
the
percentage
of
units
that
can
be
rented
at
any
time
and
benchmarks
for
exceeding
up
to
75
getting
up
to
75
percent
of
owner
occupancy.
BE
So
I
would
say
one
thing
that
you
know:
wind
development
took
took
a
risk
on
this
project
that
the
first
phase
had
been
going
on
for
quite
some
time
and
they
jumped
down
in
2008
and
and
delivered
on
the
first
phase,
and
so
the
dialogue
we
have
with
the
community
on
this
is
very
important,
and
it's
something
that
was
you
know
put
in
writing
from
an
mou.
A
BE
So
so
the
first
page
62
units,
43
of
which
was
affordable
and
then
the
city.
It
said
when
you
do
this
second
phase
and
article
80
had
approved
project
for
the
second
phase,
but
they
didn't
proceed
with
it
here
we
are
right.
They
wanted
to
see
more
of
a
mix.
The
neighborhood
wanted
to
see
home
ownership.
So
we
have.
BE
We
have
three
on-site
idp
units
and
then
we
have
a
contribution
that
is
part
of
the
community
and
the
article
80
process
of
1.2
million
dollars
to
create
affordable
home
ownership
in
mission
hill,
and
that
was
part
of
our
article
80
approval
as
well.
So
the
idea
is
a
little
bit
of
a
different
bird.
You
know.
A
A
All
right,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
drawings.
M
Drawings
are
fine,
no,
no
real
questions
on
the
drawings
themselves.
I
I
think
that
you
know,
I
guess
I'm
you
know
the
pickle
family
building
was
is
obviously
an
existing
beautiful
brick
building.
I
I
guess,
I'm
I'm
wondering
and-
and
I
just
went
through
a
lady
large
project,
so
I
should
I
assume
there
was
attention
paid,
but
you
know
from
the
columbus
ave
side,
which
is
the
non-street
side,
I'm
a
little
bit
worried
we're
sort
of
getting
the
back
side
of
the
building.
M
So
I
think
hopefully,
when
this
goes
through
it's
kind
of
final.
If
it's
approved
that
you
know
some
can't
take
it
on
the
rear
of
the
building,
but
in
terms
of
the
scope
and
size,
I
I
don't
have
any
questions
for
the
proponent
on
that.
D
Secretary
here
I
just
wanted
to
put
bob
tamiko
has
spoken
this
and
put
it
into
the
record.
Please,
regarding
154
terrorist
street,
to
improve
simultaneous
access
and
egress
to
the
parking
location.
Btd
would
like
to
suggest
a
curb
cut
to
be
expanded
to
12
feet,
since
the
garage
exit
exists
on
the
rear
of
the
sidewalk.
A
AZ
AZ
O
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
anthony
vias,
I'm
from
councillor
box
office.
As
was
said,
the
applicant
has
met
with
kent
neighborhood
groups
and
received
for
support
from
mission
hill,
neighborhood
housing
services
and
the
community
alliance
of
mission.
L.
The
project
will
provide
an
opportunity
for
home
ownership
in
a
neighborhood
that
is
in
need
of
more
and
is
investing
in
much
needed
transportation.
Improvements.
Councilor
bach,
is
in
support
of
the
proposal.
F
BF
Members
of
the
board
adam
sarban
mission,
hill,
neighborhood
housing
services,
speaking
in
support
of
the
project,
the
proponent
has
met
since
2006
when
the
original
originally
started
with
the
community
and
spoke
and
did
do
a
large
amount
of
affordable
housing
in
that
phase.
One.
The
scope
of
bringing
the
unit
count
down
with
this
proposal
is
with
the
consideration
of
the
community
and
making
larger
units
than
they
had,
which
we're
completely
satisfied
with
the
layouts
and
applaud
the
wind
development
for
their
cooperation
with
the
community
on
this
project.
Thank
you.
F
AT
Martin
beinborn
resident
of
mission
hill
and
president
of
the
community
alliance
of
missionville,
I'm
here
to
testify
that
the
community
discussed
this
proposal
and
voted
in
support.
We
were
very
attracted
by
the
prospect
of
having
increased
owner
occupancy
with
the
provisions
that
mr
henry
mentioned.
85
of
the
attendees
voted
in
support,
15
abstained
and
non-objected.
AT
F
BA
V
A
Wait,
sir,
can
you
put
your
address
in
the
record.
AQ
Okay
yeah,
so,
as
I
was
saying
as
it
currently
stands,
we
have
a
parking
garage
space
in
the
unit
at
the
entrance
is
on
the
far
side
of
the
building
and
the
exit
is
where
the
new
building
is
proposed
to
be
located.
So
I
was
just
wondering
how
the
exit
of
the
parking
garage
is
going
to
be
relocated
or
reworked
like
under
this
new
building
edition.
BE
Yes,
jeff:
can
you
speak
to
how
these
two
buildings,
the
the
site
plan,
how
we're
coordinating.
BB
T
Yeah
so
when
intent
intends
to
make
the
the
entryway
and
entry
and
exit
for
the
existing
garage
instead
of
a
one-way,
so
they'll
be
reconfiguring
the
parking
layouts
within
the
existing
building
to
allow
two
lanes
of
traffic.
A
A
Okay,
thank
you
all
righty,
okay,
so
I
think
mr
d'amico
had
raised
some
issues
that
I
would
suggest
being
incorporated
into
a
into
the
board.
Might
make
so.
Can
I
have
a
motion
please.
M
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
bpda
design
review
to.
I
know
they're
going
to
go
through
their
final
design
review,
but
I
would
love
if
they
could
just
take
a
look
at
the
street
wall
in
terms
of
just
continuity
of
the
aesthetics
there,
as
well
as
from
columbus
ave
on
the
back
side
to
ensure
that
we
are
not
looking
at
the
back
of
a
building.
M
I
think
it's
a
nice
moment
there
on
the
southwest
corridor,
and
I
know
that
bpda
pushes
for
a
foot
curve
cut
in
terms
of
traffic,
but
I
guess
it
warrants
another
discussion
with
mr
damiko
on
bte
for
the
to.
A
A
M
A
A

I'm
going
to
call

everybody
is

D
D
A
Okay,
mr
goodman,
why
don't
you
this
is
a
fairly
ambitious
and
complicated
project?
You've
got
three
different
case
numbers,
but
I
assume
you're
going
to
present
them
as
one
comprehensive
case
is
that
correct?
That's.
X
X
The
doyle's
parking
lot
and
we're
adding
six
additional
units
across
the
street
on
williams
at
69.,
just
to
walk
through
it.
If.
X
Go
up
to
the
first
slide
you
were
on.
It
makes
it
much
easier.
Yes
exactly
so.
The
green
anchor
building
is,
what's
the
current
doyle's
and
a
two
family
next
door
to
it.
We
would
be
raising
the
two
family
and
then
adding
on
the
addition
of
the
market
as
well
as
16
condominiums
above
the
doyle's
cafe
would
be
restored
in
its
current
condition.
X
What
we're
calling
the
bridge
building
is
seven
condominiums
above
the
parking
lot
and
then
the
triangular
building
is
six
units
all
affordable,
and
that
was
done
by
having
a
partnership
with
both
jpndc
and
the
department
of
neighborhood
development.
What's.
X
T
O
X
X
You
know,
you
know
12
hours
of
lighting,
a
market
for
the
community
that
was
really
sought
after
as
well
as
big
units,
16,
three
bedroom
in
the
market,
seven,
two
bedroom,
all
1500
square
feet
plus
and
one
parking
place
for
every
unit,
so
that's
29
parking
places
for
the
residential,
an
additional
29
for
the
commercial.
X
The
variance
is
there
are
a
bunch,
but
they
all
are
shared
across
three
buildings.
So
the
reason
isd
wanted
us
to
do
it.
This
way
was
there's
three
different
addresses,
but
bpda
considered
this
one,
big
small
project,
review
scattered
site
project,
so
they
have
a
parking
violation
because
it's
local
industrial,
multi-family
residential,
is
not
allowed
two
buildings
on
the
same
lot,
because
technically
the
anchor
and
the
bridge
are
one
single
parcel.
X
X
You
know.
Lastly,
there's
a
modal
front
yard
conformity
issue
with
the
bridge
building,
but
we
ended
up
moving
that
to
conform
with
the
site
next
door.
So
we're
very
excited
about
this.
Obviously
I
spent
my
whole
life
going
at
doyle's
and
this
is
about
the
best.
I
could
hope
for
to
get
a
chance
to
bring
it
back
and
have
it
operational
again.
A
Okay,
so
there's
a
obviously
a
lot
of
pieces
to
this
project
when
you
talk
about
a
market,
what
what
do
you
envision
being
in
the
market.
X
The
the
perfect
example
would
be
happy
market,
which
is
on
south
street
in
jamaica
plain.
You
know
not
they're
not
committed
to
it,
but
that's
what
I
envisioned
like
a
bodega.
You
know
it's
only
5
000
square
feet.
It's
not
going
to
be
a
whole
foods.
It's
not
going
to
be
a
trader
joe's.
It's
a
community.
X
X
Organization
like
that,
they
just
need
a
lot
of
certainty
as
far
as
when
will
the
thing
open.
What
do
they
have
to
contribute
so
once
we
get
through
zba
and
go
to
isd,
we
hope
to
reach
back
out
to
them.
X
X
Actually
that's
the
loading
bay,
but
if
you
go
down
one
more
to
the
next
page,
you'll
see
exactly
so
there's
the
commercial
loading
zone
and
it
was
well
thought
out
to
have
you
know
a
market
style
supermarket
door,
so
they
can
have
checkout
at
both
front
and
rear.
There's
public
parking
in
the
back,
as
well
as
the
commercial
loading
zone.
X
A
X
About
a
little
under
5
000
feet
as
well,
so
the
only
difference
between
the
current
doyle's
is
and
the
in
the
updated
version
is
the
third
room.
The
fitzgerald
room
is
going
away
and
what
we're
going
to
do
is
create
a
new
version
of
what
we're
actually
calling
the
kennedy
room,
but
it
will
serve
the
same
purpose.
There'll,
be
you
know,
a
drop
down,
projector
or
sound
system.
It's
essentially
a
private
room
that
could
have
community
meetings
the
same
way.
The
back
room
and
doyle's
always
did.
BB
A
X
Sure
so,
on
the
building,
what
we're
calling
one
garland,
the
one?
That's
above
the
market,
there's
16
units,
12,
three
bedroom,
four,
two
bedroom
and
they're
all
15
to
1600
square
feet.
These
are
family
size
units
on
the
60
williams,
the
seven
unit
on
the
doyle's
current
doyle's
parking
lot.
There
is
four
three
bedroom
and
three
two
bedrooms
same
size,
breakdowns
and
then
across
the
street.
In
the
triangular
building,
which
is
100
affordable.
X
A
The
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
drawings.
M
The
the
plans
are
are
good
it
you,
you
hit
it,
it's
a
it's
a
very
complex
project
with
a
lot
of
facets
to
it.
You
know,
I
think,
from
personal
experience.
M
I
live
in
dorchester
and
we
did
a
market
at
the
the
train
station
and
it
really
is
a
you
know,
been
a
great
amenity
to
the
neighborhood.
It's
walkable
there's
no
parking
there,
so
I
I
envision
this
will
be
similar
to
the
community
at
large.
I
think
that's
a
really
nice
moment
there
and
I
think
that
working
within
the
jp
rocks,
sort
of
master
plane
works
and
then
I
think
the
transitioning
down
from
washington
street
back
to
the
smaller
buildings
in
the
neighborhood.
M
I
think
actually
worked
pretty
well
from
an
urban
standpoint
in
height
and
density.
So
you
know,
I
think
the
the
proponent
has
done
a
good
job
of
trying
to
pull
a
lot
of
facets
together
here
and
it's
complicated.
But
I
really
don't
have
any
questions
for
the
opponent
on
the
on
the
proposed
drawings.
I
think
they're
they're
documented
well
and
represent
everything.
That's
been
proposed.
So
no.
M
D
Mr
chair
secretary
here,
mr
damico,
has
spoken
two
out
of
the
three
projects
I'd
like
to
put
in
for
the
record
regarding
3484
washington
street.
D
A
Okay
and
we'll
take
those
into
consideration,
I
suspect
every
single
member
of
this
board
has
been
at
doyle's
at
one
point
or
another
in
their
lives,
so
we're
very
I'm
sure
everyone
is
familiar
with
the
site
whether
you
live
in
jp
or
not
okay,
why
don't
we
do
any
any
questions
of
them.
X
Well,
can
I
just
say
sorry,
mr
chair
one
more
quick
thing.
I
just
forgot
to
mention
that
we
did
have
140
letters
of
support
from
the
community
and
both
councillor
o'malley
when
he
was
still
here
and
rep
malia.
It
was
an
extensive
process.
It
was
about
14
months
well,.
A
I'm
sure
we'll
hear
about,
but
I'm
sure
we'll
hear
about
that
in
the
course
to
take
the
testimony
all
right.
Anybody,
any
elected
officials
care
to
weigh
in
on
this
project
or
representatives.
If
elected.
Z
I
guess
good
afternoon
mr
chair
members
of
the
board
tiffany
caballero
here
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
likely
goodman
mentioned
this
applicant
and
proposal
has
undergone
an
extensive
community
process
and
throughout
the
process
I
have
received
just
to
reiterate
the
140
letters
of
support,
while
also
recording
support
or
non-opposition
from
civic
associations,
like
the
stony
brook
neighborhood
association
in
the
jamaica,
plain
neighborhood
council.
At
this
time
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
let's
we'll
we'll
hear
from
both
both
sides
during
the
testimony.
F
Thank
you
and
then
we
do
have
a
few
raised
hands.
I'll
start
with
alan.
I
requested
to
a
meet
you.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please.
AL
The
representative
asked
me
to
come
before
the
board
today,
chairperson
and
honorable
members.
It's
just
her
support
for
this
project.
It's
really
important
to
have
a
community
gathering
space
like
doyle's
reopened
back
in
the
neighborhood.
AL
The
project
offers
affordable
home
ownership,
which
is
something
that
we
don't
see
enough
of,
and
the
opportunity
for
an
additional
market
space
in
the
neighborhood
is
also,
we
think,
a
really
good
addition.
F
AR
Yes,
please,
you
can
hear
me.
Yes,
thank
you.
My
name
is
alan
iyer.
I
live
at
116
williams
street.
You
should
have
received
my
written
comments.
I've
lived
on
for
40
years
on
the
project
street.
I
met
my
future
wife
at
doyle's
30
years
ago.
I'm
in
one
of
the
murals
please
vote
to
deny
the
proposal.
It
badly
needs
fixing
and
mitigation.
The
bpda
rushed
this
project
through,
with
less
than
five
months
from
the
first
formal
meeting
to
its
board
vote.
AR
The
project
relies
on
bpda's
plant
jp
rocks
for
its
density,
but
ignores
plan
jp
rock's
commitments
that
protect
the
butters
and
neighbors.
This
cherry
picking
sets
a
very
bad
precedent
for
the
whole
plan:
jp
rocks
area,
the
project
60
williams,
is
in
our
in
our
r3
4000
residential
zoning
sub
district.
It
will
loom
over
the
abutters
it
breaks,
11
zoning
codes
and
also
breaks
written
comments
in
planned,
jp
rocks
that
protect,
protect
the
abutters
and
neighbors
from
these
violations
in
our
residential
zoning
sub-district.
AR
There
are
maps
to
support
this,
including
a
plan
jp
rocks
and
zoning
maps
9c
and
9b
for
our
area.
This
is
this.
A
Okay,
can
you
please
wrap
it
up?
Please.
F
You
might
be
all
set
sorry
about
that.
We'll
go
to
pete
pete
you've
been
on
media.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please.
AG
You
know
we
welcome
more
housing
and
we
welcome
getting
doyle's
back
up
and
running,
but,
as
was
mentioned
there,
there
are
a
lot
of
violations.
The
process
was
rushed,
60
williams
is
way
too
tall
and
way
too
close
to
the
neighbors.
AG
AG
You
know
the
the
traffic
and
parkings
has
not
been
adequately
addressed,
29
spaces
seems
really
low
for
a
market
and
and
what
everybody
expects
to
be
a
very
busy
restaurant.
There's
this
fantasy
about
people
biking
in
february
to
go
to
the
restaurant,
and
that
would
not
have
happened
even
last
weekend.
AG
Washington
street
is
incredibly
busy
and
it's
hard
to
imagine
that
some
of
those
folks
stuck
in
traffic
won't
pull
over
to
go
to
the
market
or
you
know
to
the
restaurant.
So
the
there
has
no,
there
hasn't
been
an
earnest
effort
to
really
address
to
the
neighborhood
what
the
traffic
implications
are
going
to
be
so
improve.
A
F
BG
Happy
to
go.
Thank
you,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
peter
gore,
1011
perkins
street
jamaica,
plain
I've
been
involved
in
this
project
representing
the
burke
family
for
over
two
and
a
half
years,
and
we
began
this
process
before
deciding
on
the
watermark
team
as
the
purchaser
and
developer
and
conducted
six
meetings
with
the
saved
oils
group
of
which
one
of
the
opponents
participated
in.
So
this
is
in
well
over
two
and
a
half
year
process,
not
a
five-minute
process.
A
F
A
BH
BI
V
BH
Street
so
close
neighbor.
I
would
love
to
see
this
project
move
forward.
I
think
it's
a
great
plan.
It's
a
black
hole
over
there
right
now,
just
getting
it
worse,
more
state.
I
walk
my
dog
by
there
nightly
and
it'd
be
nice
to
have
some
street
activity
and
have
another
market
close
by
to
be
able
to
pop
to
to
pick
things
up
and
just
to
see
some
life
in
doyle's
again.
It's
greatly
missed,
and
I
think
this
would
be
a
wonderful
addition
to
this
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
AB
BJ
F
A
Okay,
well,
that's
good!
I
mean
we
got
some.
We
got
some
feedback,
both
positive
and
negative.
Okay.
Can
I
can.
I
have
a
motion.
Please.
E
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
a
bpda
design
review.

Your
next
case
calling
doa
one
one:
eight,
nine,
three:
zero
seven:
three
half
moon
street
this
to
convert
an
existing
basement
into
a
fourth
unit
on
an
existing
three-family
structure.
The
violations,
article
50
section
28
four
units
in
the
three
f
zone
is
conditional.
Article
50,
section
43,
offspring
parking
is
insufficient.
D
AA
Yes,
good
afternoon
board
joseph
luna
luna
design
group.
We
are
the
project
architects
for
this
100
conifer
hill
drive
suite
406
located
in
danvers
01923
on
the
zip
code.
AA
The
intent
is
to
convert
the
finished
basement
into
a
legal
fourth
unit
as
part
of
the
work
we'll
be
installing
a
nfpa
13r
residential
fire
suppression
system.
Even
though
the
house,
the
building,
is
a
three
family,
it
is
currently
not
sprinklered,
so
by
and
as
grandfathered.
AA
So
by
doing
so,
by
putting
the
fourth
unit
in,
we
will
bring
it
up
to
current
to
current
fire
fire
alarm
and
sprinkler
codes.
AA
It
is
a
walkout
and
our
intent
is
to
use
the
existing
rear
door
and
windows
as
part
of
the
renovation.
I
should
also
point
out
is
that
there
is
an
existing
bathroom
inside
the
space.
AA
My
understanding
is
that
permits
were
pulled
during
each
conversion
from
the
single
family.
Two
to
the
three
my
client,
francois
toca,
I
believe,
is
on
this
conference
as
well.
He
has
any
specific
questions
you
can
address
with
him.
We
have
eight
letters
of
support
from
the
butter
to
the
building.
We
have
met
with
the
neighborhood
association
and
received
no
objection.
A
Okay,
well
we'll
hear
about
that
separately.
Okay,
what
is
the
size
of
the
new
unit
854.
A
Okay
and
what
is
the
floor
to
the
ceiling
height
of
the
basement,
eight
feet
eight
feet
and
what
is
the
floor
to
grade
height
of
up
to
the
outside
grade
height.
AA
At
the
rear,
we
have
a
door
that
exits
right
to
grade
and
at
the
front
at
the
front,
give
you
that
information
right
now.
A
Okay,
is
it
possible
to
see,
are
there
any
elevations
or
sections?
No,
because.
A
No,
I
understand
that,
but
the
critical
issues
that
come
before
this
board
are
in
whether
we
approve
living
space
in
the
basement
is
whether
it
feels
like
whether
there
is
walk-out
space
and
whether
it
feels
like
it's
an
excessive
use
of
space
that
was
not
intended
to
be
used
for
living
space
if
it's,
if
it's
too
far
underground
and
too
dark,
and
we
can
only
tell
that
with
elevations
and
sections
and
we've
been
saying
this
for
years,
and
I
don't
understand
why
I
have
to
keep
saying
this
every
single
time
people
should
have
learned
by
now.
A
All
right,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
drawings
can
you?
Can
you
tell
anything.
M
The
the
drawings,
unfortunately,
don't
call
out
any
of
that
information.
You
know
by
my
review
online.
The
site
does
fall
away.
If
you're
facing
left
to
right,
the
it
does
appear,
the
rear
door
is
at
grade
so
and
the
grade
sort
of
slips
away.
So
there
is
mechanical
and
storage,
but
it
appears
the
deepest
part
and
the
bedrooms
do
seem
to
open
up
to
somewhere.
M
So
without
the
real
information
on
it,
it
looks
to
be
adequately
above
grade,
especially
toward
the
rear,
but
I
don't
have
the
technical
data
to
really
be.
E
M
A
A
I
don't
have
the
google
maps
in
front
of
me,
so
I'm
glad
I'm
glad
for
that
input.
I
just
don't
understand
why
people
who
come
before
this
board
haven't
learned
this
lesson
and
we
always
ask
the
same
questions
and
we
always
and
it
can
only
be
answered
by
elevations
or
sections,
and
I
really
wish
that
people
who
come
for
this
board
with
wanting
extended
living
space
in
the
basement
would
provide
us
with
the
information
so
that.
A
And
an
informed
decision
anyway,
that's
my
soap
box
for
the
day.
A
Can
we,
let's
move
to
any
other
questions
on
the
board,
all
right?
Let's
move
to
the
testimony.
BD
Mr
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
this
is
jason
gant
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
and
a
butters
meeting
was
held
on
june
17
2021,
in
which
11
participants
were
in
the
meeting.
I
do
believe
it
was
about
eight
of
butters.
There
was
support
and
opposition
voiced
on
the
actual
abutters
meeting.
I
do
have
the
eight
letters
of
support
that
joseph
did
mention
already.
BD
BD
Just
the
actual
living
in
the
basement
as
a
lot
of
people
feel
well,
the
three
of
the
abutters
felt
that
that's
something
that
shouldn't
be
going
on
in
the
roxbury
neighborhood.
They
were
just
vehemently
opposed
to
actually
having
any
sort
of
living
space
in
the
basement,
and
another
note
was
also
parking
as
well
with
the
additional
people
who
will
be
in
those
units.
BD
AB
F
BK
Yes,
hello,
my
name
is
melissa
miranda.
I
live
at
7
chamber
street,
I
also
own
14,
half
moon
street
and
10
half
moon
street,
so
I
am
opposed
to
the
building
being
turned
into
a
four
family.
BK
Parking
is
a
major
issue
in
this
neighborhood,
with
the
addition
of
multiple
shelters
in
the
neighborhood
parking
is
virtually
impossible
often
when
people
get
home
from
work
and
people
who
do
have
curb
cuts
can
barely
get
in
and
out
of
them,
and
so
that's
my
main
concern
is
parking.
BK
My
other
concern
is
the.
As
the
mr
luna
stated,
the
architect.
It
was
originally
built
as
a
single
family,
not
a
three
family
and
it
isn't
a
particularly
large
building.
So
you
know
adding
this
fourth
unit,
which
is
not
really
conducive
of
the
other
buildings
in
the
neighborhood.
It's
definitely
a
stretch
to
say
the
least.
F
M
Did
I
make
a
motion
to
defer
this?
I
think
we
don't
have
the
proper
data
and
I
do
think
it's
on
the
line
and
the
fact
that
we
do
have
a
butters
who
are
in
opposition.
I
think
we
want
to
make
sure
it's
accurate
and
correct,
so
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
defer
to
another
date
when
we
can
have
some
more
information
on
the
grave.
AA
Okay,
we
can
provide
the
necessary
I'll.
V
AA
A
So
that
the
motion
has
been
made
and
seconded
all
those
in
favor
aye
all
opposed,
yes,
so
to
the
applicant.
I
think
our
point
is
it's.
What
I
said
before,
which
is
we
are.
We
are
it's
our
mission
to
make
these
judgment
calls
and
we
and
it's
very
difficult
to
make
these
judgment,
calls
without
the
kind
of
information
and
data
that
so
that
we
can
feel
like
it's
informed
as
opposed
to
a
subjective
decision.
A
So
please
come,
please
you'll
be
getting
a
date
from
mr
fortune,
but
when
you
come
back,
please
come
back
with
elevations
or
sections,
and
it
is
a
little
unusual,
I
think,
to
start
with
a
single
family
house
and
turn
it
into
a
four
family
without
really
ever
changing
the
footprint.
So
so
that's
I
mean
we
want
the
information.
AA
A
A
D
A
Yeah
I
mean
yeah,
it's
ten
minutes,
yeah,
ten
or
one
I
mean
do
you
want
to
just
see
about
the
withdrawals
and
deferrals
at
the
12
30.
that'd
be
fine.

street
in

boston
from
richard

office,
requesting
a
short
deferral

back

the
board
had
to
defer
on

technical

BL
Good
afternoon,
everyone
can
you
hear
me:
okay,
my
name
is
miriam
g,
I'm
the
architect
and
store
designer
at
co,
everything
from
1452
dorchester,
ave
out
of
fields,
corner
business,
lab
o2122,
presenting
on
behalf
of
marcos
beleche,
who
cannot
make
it
today
as
the
board
president
of
the
dorchester
food
co-op.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today.
As
was
stated,
the
dorchester
food
co-op
is
a
full-service
grocery
store,
with
a
focus
on
produce
and
bulk
goods.
BL
This
grocery
store
is
an
expression
of
our
community
and,
as
so
at
the
intersection
of
bowdoin
and
top
life,
this
6
000
square
foot
commercial
space.
After
we
went
through
a
series
of
community
design
planning
meetings
in
2020,
we
discovered
a
need
for
a
community
cafe
with
indoor
seating
and
take
out
for
coffee,
tea
juice,
smoothies
and
some
of
the
grab
and
grow
grab
and
go
prepared
foods
that
we
hope
to
have
prepared
by
local
vendors.
BL
So
as
even
though
there
are
2
000
to
3
000
square
foot
of
additional
seating
that
you
can
see
here
in
this
kind
of,
like
triangular,
open,
plaza
as
being
provided
by
our
landlord
via
aid,
we
decided
to
incorporate
a
300
square
foot,
small
indoor,
seating
area
with
a
prep
counter
for
cafe
drinks,
and
because
of
that
we
have
a
conditional
use.
Although,
as
of
right,
we
can
build
the
grocery
store.
It
is
a
conditional
use
to
be
approved
by
the
zoning
board
on
if
we
can
provide
takeout.
BL
We
believe
that
this
is
completely
in
line
with
what
the
neighbor
neighborhood
is
seeking.
Folks
have
often
asked
for
a
place
to
gather
and
get
together,
and
there
is
not
an
existing
cafe
in
the
immediate
neighborhood.
This
is
also
the
sole
ground
floor:
commercial
tenant
of
this
multi-story
mixed-use,
affordable
housing,
development
by
viet
aides.
So
we
think
it
will
be
a
great
amenity
also
to
the
residents
and
future
tenants
of
this
building.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
really
the
only
approval
that
you're
seeking
from
this
board
is
for
the
takeout
use
correct
the
rest
of
it
says
of
right.
Okay,
what
is
in
the
space
now?
Is
it
empty.
A
Right
so
the
the
only
questions
that
we
have
in
situations
like
this
is
whether
the
proponent
has
any
experience
with
takeout
and
and
the
various
regulations
that
exist
in
the
city
of
boston.
BL
Well,
as
this
is
a
new
store,
we
have
yet
to
hire
our
store
general
manager,
though
the
description
of
the
store
you
know,
store,
general
manager
is
available,
and
we
have
currently
a
firm
that
we've
hired
to
help
us
seek
out
the
proper
general
manager.
So
we
purposefully
have
worked
with
bipla,
rye
and
other
folks,
who
are
commercial
and
retail
establishments
in
the
area
who
offer
takeout
to
kind
of
come
up
with
that
job
description.
So
there
is
no
existing
person
right
now
who
has.
AX
A
That's
fine,
no,
you
don't
have
to
identify
someone
what
we
what
we
will,
then,
if
we
approve
this,
we
will
ask
you.
It
will
come
with
provisos
to
follow
the
protocols
that
exist
in
the
city
of
boston
to
deal
with
takeover.
So
usually,
if
someone
has
experience
with
it,
then
they
know
what
to
do,
how
short
trash,
how
all
the
various
things
are
and
if
someone.
AC
A
Then
there's,
then,
you
need
to
work
with
the
very
the
relevant
city
agencies
to
figure
out
how
to
do
it.
So
that's!
That's
all.
That's
the
only
reason
I'm
asking
okay,
I'm
not
that
it
matters
in
real
english,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
plans.
M
BB
A
Any
questions
on
the
board
all
right
is
there.
Excuse
me
time
for
testimony
any
elected
officials
or
representative
elected
officials.
W
Good
afternoon,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
denise
santos
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
we
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
The
applicants
have
met
with
community
members,
the
main
streets,
and
they
have
plenty
of
support
from
community
members
and
businesses
within
the
bowdoin
in
the
street
corridor,
and
they
also
have
support
from
the
small
businesses
within
that
corridor
as
well,
and
the
community
is
looking
forward
to
have
this
addition
to
the
streets.
So
thank
you.
W
F
So
I
do
have
one
raised
hand:
mary
reagan.
Are
you
here
to
give
testimony
in
this
proposal?
If
so,
can
you
mute
yourself
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please
didn't
I
live
at.
AU
F
AU
AU
We
also
had
meetings
with
mount
bowdan
betterment
association
at
all
these
meetings.
There
was
a
pretty
overwhelming
support
and
also
when
I've
talked
with
people
on
bowdoin
street
and
top
list
and
set
up
a
table
just
to
listen
to
people's
comments.
People
were
excited
not
only
to
have
the
store
but
to
have
a
place
where
they
could
drop
in
get
some
coffee
and
a
pastry
and
go
over
about
their
day.

BM
As
chair
of
the
greater
boat
and
geneva
neighborhood
association,
I
have
to
say
that
the
food
co-op
has
gone
above
and
beyond
due
diligence
and
reaching
out
to
the
community.
BM
There
is
massive
support
not
only
for
the
co-op
itself,
but
for
the
cafe,
and
even
though
there
is
a
a
restaurant
right
down
the
street
one
family
diner,
which
everybody
knows
of
they
close
at
two
o'clock.
The
food
co-op
is
going
to
be
opened
much
later
into
the
day
and
so
as
been
stated
before.
The
interest
and
the
need
for
a
cafe
related
use
is
much
appreciated.
C
Yes,
good
afternoon,
everybody,
my
name
is
marcos
beleche,
I'm
at
I
live
at
3
jarvis
place
in
roxbury,
and
I
happen
to
also
be
a
member
owner
of
the
board
of
the
dorchester
recoil.
President
of
the
board.
I
want
to
just
also
share
my
support
for
this
and
thank
everybody
who
has
commented
in
favor.
It's
been
a
long
process
coming
and
as
miriam
also
mentioned
at
the
beginning,
our
planning
process
really
brought
how
just
how
important
the
need
for
a
gathering
place
for
the
community
and
a
cafe
was
and
so
we're.
C
You
know
happy
to
be
moving
forward
with
this.
I
also
happen
to
be
the
director
for
the
four
corners
main
street
program
and
understand
just
how
important
it
is
to
bring
anchor
commercial
businesses
like
the
co-op
that
can
further
create
foot
traffic
for
our
smaller
businesses.
So,
thank
you
all
for
the
time
and
your
support.
Thank.
E
Motion
to
approve:
do
you
put
design
review
on
this
yeah
right.
A
Okay,
so,
and
and
with
the
usual
takeout
language,
okay,.
A
Applicant
that,
given
that
this
is
your
first
foray
into
the
the
world
of
takeout,
is
please
please,
you
know
contact
the
folks
at
isc
to
deal
with
what
the
takeout
language
entails.
So,
okay,
there's
a
motion:
is
there
a
second?
A
Second
all
those
in
favor
aye.
All
opposed
motion
carries
all
right,
so
we
now
move
to
the
rediscussions.
We
had
some
deferrals.
I
will
say
once
again
for
those
remaining
cases
that
we
are
a
five-member
board,
which
means
that,
in
order
for
a
motion
to
pass,
every
member
must
vote
in
favor
if,
if
the
applicant
does
not
want
to
take
the
risk
of
not
having
unanimous
support,
they're
entitled
to
getting
requested
administrative
deferral,
which
we
will
automatically
grant.
So
having
said
that,
let's
move
forward
with
the
12
30
rediscussions.

AK

You
okay!
Thank
you.

Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board
attorney
matt
eckel,
with
drago
and
toscano
business
address
of
11
beacon
street
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
Also
with
me,
is
jonathan
garland
from
jay
garland
enterprises,
the
project
architect,
as
mentioned,
we
are
seeking
to
combine
four
existing
lots
into
two
new
lots:
raise
the
existing
commercial
structure
and
erect
two
residential
buildings.
One
building
that
you're
seeing
there
is
fras
frontage
on
curtis
and
chaucer
street
will
contain
23
units
and
17
parking
spaces
and
the
second
structure
which
you
can
see
on
the
screen.
AK
There
is
at
670-672
saratoga
street
and
that
will
contain
six
units.
The
project
as
a
whole
did
go
through
the
bpda
small
project
review
process.
Originally
it
was
one
large
building
that
then
got
split
up
into
two
separate,
distinct
buildings
to
provide
some
more
rear
yard
between
the
two
buildings
that
did
get
approved
by
the
bpa
board
on
may
13
2021.
AK
AK
So
all
told
we
are
proposing
29
units
in
17
parking
spaces
with
four
affordable
units,
approximately
14
affordability.
I
will
note
we're
proposing
one
affordable
unit
of
each
type
of
unit,
so
one
studio
one
one
bed,
one
two
bed
and
we
have
one
three
bedroom
unit
in
this
project
and
we're
proposing
that
as
affordable
as
well.
AK
Overall
for
the
unit
breakdown,
there
are
three
studios
at
approximately
501
square
feet:
12
one
bedroom
unit
at
733
square
feet,
13
two
bedroom
units
at
an
average
of
974
square
feet
and
that
one
three-bedroom
unit
which
I
mentioned
will
be
affordable
at
1293
square
feet
just
to
go
through
the
floor
plans
quickly
in
the
curtis
street
building,
so
7-eleven
carriages
again
fronts
on
chaucer
and
curtis
street,
we're
proposing
17
below
grade
parking
spaces.
AK
Those
will
be
accessed
off
a
ramp
from
chaucer
street,
but
there'll
also
be
a
trash
room,
an
electrical
and
sprinkler
room
in
this
lower
level.
As
you
move
up
to
the
first
floor,
we
have
the
main
entrance
which
will
be
off
curtis
street.
We
also
have
a
separate
residence
garage
and
then
we
have
two
units:
a
two
bedroom
unit,
access
from
curtis
street
and
the
one
three
bedroom
unit
accessed
from
chaucer
street.
AK
So
we
have
two
units
with
direct
access
off
the
street,
as
well
as
the
common
lobby
entrance
as
you
move
up
through
the
building.
The
second
third
and
fourth
floor
all
contains
seven
units,
each
with
one
studio,
four
one
beds
and
two
two
bedroom
units
moving
over
to
the
saratoga
street
site,
670
to
672
saratoga
street.
This
is
proposed
as
a
three-story
unit.
It'll
have
two
bedrooms:
two
two-bedroom
units
per
floor
for
a
total
of
six
units.
AK
As
mentioned,
there
are
some
violations,
including
a
use
so
2f
district
we
are
proposing
wealthy
family
on
both
sides,
far
allow
us
28
we're
proposing
2.9
on
the
curtis
street
site
and
2.2
at
saratoga
lot
area
for
saratoga,
because
we're
required
four
thousand.
We
have
just
under
at
thirty
six,
fifty
two
height
on
the
curtis
street
building
you're
about
two
and
a
half
stories.
Thirty
five
feet:
we
are
at
four
stories
and
forty
four
and
the
visual
you
see
in
front
of
you
now
is
the
saratoga
street.
AK
We
do
have
a
stories
violation,
even
though
you
can
see
where,
in
line
with
most
of
the
abutters
two
and
a
half
stories
is
allowed.
We
are
proposing
three,
but
we
do
comply
with
feet.
We
also
are
seeking
variances
for
front
side
and
rear
yard
and
parking.
We
are
proposing
the
seven
team
total
parking
spaces
underneath
the
curtis
street
site
and
required
would
be
2.0
on
the
on
the
curtis
street
site
and
1.5
at
the
saratoga.
AK
Along
with
the
creation
of
these
units,
we
would
be
really
improving
the
infrastructure
of
the
curtis
and
chaucer
street
sidewalks
with
new
street
trees,
public
bike,
racks
for
visitors
and
members
of
the
community,
as
well
as
contributions
to
the
blue
bike
fund.
So
with
that
I'll
pause
and
take
any
questions
from
members
of
the
board.
A
Okay,
so
let
me
ask
you
some
questions
about
the
curtis
street.
The
saratoga
street
design
seems
to
be
contextual
and
that
the
roof
lines
line
up
with
the
abutting
buildings,
the
curtis
street,
seems
to
be
a
significantly
larger
than
what's
around
it
am
I
am
I
seeing
that
wrong
or
what's
what
just
the
contextual,
if
you
can
respond,
two
questions
about
curtis
free
one
is
the
contextual
design
and
the
second
is
the
parking
you've
got
23
units
with
17
parking
spaces.
A
AO
V
BN
I
was
gonna,
I
was
going
to
start
with
the
contextual
question
I
think
as
far
as
scale
and
fitting
into
the
neighborhood.
This
has
been
a
really
close
collaboration
with
the
city
and
in
those
talks,
what
we
talked
about
was
the
building
kind
of
anchoring
the
corner
and
then
feeding
back
into
the
neighborhood
into
the
three
decker
triple
you
know
triple
decker
height
in
scale
and
that's
why
we've
addressed
a
strong
cornice
line
at
the
third
floor
going
from
the
third
to
the
fourth,
so
that
that
transition
is
made.
BN
But
the
terminology
that
we
made
in
those
meetings
were
things
like
bookending
the
block
and
really
creating
a
strong
terminus
at
the
intersection
of
curtis
and
chaucer
street
matt
I'll.
Let
you
address
the
parking
ratio.
A
Just
before
matt,
before
you
start,
can
we
get
a
rendering
of
the
put
the
curtis
street
building
in
context
while
you,
while
you're
talking,
go
ahead.
BN
Absolutely
so
I,
what
we're
showing
here
is
the
the
white
treatment
above
or
the
fiber
cement.
That's
a
lighter
band
separating
and
breaking
from
the
middle
part
of
the
building,
and
so
it
really
reaches
a
clear
delineation
of
base
middle
and
top,
and
so
that
middle
portion
between
dark,
blue
and
white
is
that
strong
datum
line
that
kind
of
carries
across
yeah.
A
No,
I
I
I
understand
that
the
design
has
broken
up
the
the
elevations,
but
it
still
seems
like
the
roof
line.
The
top
line
is
higher
than
what's
around
it
again.
I'd
have
to
look
on
google
maps,
which
I'm
not
doing.
Maybe
somebody
who
can't
do
that
can
enlighten
me,
but
it
seems
like
it's.
It
seems
like
it's
consistent,
pretty
much
bigger
than
anything
else
around.
BN
It
it
is
taller
and
what
I'm
saying
is
urbanistically,
that's
thought
of
as
bookending
the
block
in
the
sense
of
of
kind
of
creating
a
slightly
higher
terminus
point
than
what's
around
it,
because.
A
AK
Sure,
and
just
one
more
thing
about
the
location
of
the
curtis
street
building,
not
to
belabor
the
point,
but
as
jonathan
mentioned
kind
of
book
ending.
I
won't
use
that
term
again,
but
we
do
about
directly
root
1a.
So
we
only
have
really
a
butters
on
those
two
sides
that
we're
trying
to
kind
of
mold
into.
I
should
say
so.
If
you
look
at
the
google
images,
provided
we
do
about
the
highway
on
kind
of
one
and
a
half
sides
there.
So
just
for
a
little
bit
more
context,.
V
AK
So
there's
two
two
largest
existing
apartments
down
chaucer
street,
a
little
bit,
which
is
a
very
large
brick
existing
building
yeah,
and
there
was.
AK
Approved
project,
I
believe,
yeah
it
about
both
it's
a
through
lot,
so
it's
both
on
chaucer
and
saratoga.
I
believe
it
was
for
30
units
so
similar
in
size
in
terms
of
unit
count
and
density
in
terms
of
parking.
The
ferris
street
building
is
designed
currently
as
a
rental
building,
so
I
don't
believe
it's
been
finalized.
If
that'll
be
a
science
spaces
or
or
it
will
be
kind
of
become,
as
you
go,
I
believe
there'll
be
a
sign
to
avoid
that
confusion.
E
I
just
I
just
have
some
some
comments,
and
maybe
we
can
include
this
in
a
proviso.
So,
if
we
do
approve,
this
is
some
the
improvements
to
the
public
realm.
There
I
mean
the
existing
commercial
building
doesn't
really
go
with.
What's
going
on
there
and
to
put
residentialism,
isn't
the
worst
thing
in
the
world,
but
there's
no
trees
over
there
there's
no
green
space,
no
anything
if
we
can
really
focus
on
improving
that
corner
and
it's
when
you're
coming
into
east
boston
from
the
highway
you
can
see.
E
D
A
We'll
come,
then
we'll
come
back
to
them.
Let's,
let's
move
to
public
testimony.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
project
elected.
AZ
Official
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
connor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
the
mayor's
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment
with
some
background
information
on
the
community
process.
This
went
through
an
extensive
bpda
run
community
process,
the
applicant
presented
to
the
harborview
neighborhood
association,
where
they
did
not
achieve
their
support.
AZ
M
Hi,
sorry
about
that,
I'm
having
some
problems,
I'm
sure
you've
already
moved
on,
but
I
I
think
I
was
sort
of
just
supporting
the
general
consensus
I
do
feel
like
the
curtis
street
building
is,
is
a
little
bit
big.
I
wish
there
would
be
a
little
bit
more
productive
in
terms
of
its
setbacks
and
I,
like
mr
rogerio's
sort
of
concerns
about
the
urban
quality
of
the
street,
because
the
was
being
anchored
by
the
mechanical
room
in
the
building.
M
D
M
D
A
All
right
miss
ambassador,
no
more
racing.
AK
Sure
so,
very
beginning,
prior
to
going
to
harvard
five
stories
and
then
went
down
to
four
on
curtis
and
then
on
the
saratoga
side.
We
were
at
four,
so
we
are
across
the
board.
We
heard
strong
feedback
that,
based
on
the
roof
lines
along
singleton,
three
would
be
more
appropriate
there.
So
we
did
reduce
that
by
one
story.
That,
mr
robinson,
to
your
point
and
mr
your
previous
point,
we
agree
wholeheartedly.
We
think
a
portion
of
this
project
is
the
is
the
future
street
activation.
So
we
do
have
two
units.
AK
You
come
directly
off
one
one
off
chapter,
one
off
curtis
that'll
have
little
insets
and
little
areas
for
landscaping,
we'll
also
be
complying
with
streets,
adding
street
trees
bike
racks.
So
we
view
this
as
a
good
opportunity
to
really
clean
up
kind
of
this
whole
corridor
and
this
whole
intersection
of
chaucer
and
curtis.
AK
E
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
bpda
design
review,
to
focus
on
the
fourth
floor
setback
to
see,
if
maybe
we
can
set
it
back
a
little
bit
street
trees,
green
escaping
green,
spacing
green
space
and
activating
the
street
level
as
much
as
possible
to
in
the
design.
M
A
All
those
in
favor
aye
aye,
all
of
those
okay,
mr
hampton
did
you
did
you
get
that.
D
Following
the
next
case,
calling
field
right
here,
one
two:
four:
six:
zero:
two:
nine
forty
three
stillman
street:
instead
of
buying
two
lots
into
a
newly
created
single
lot
to
be
fourteen
hundred
five
square
feet,
direct
a
new
two
family
dwelling
with
ground
level,
garage
parking
and
four
stories
of
living
space
above
the
top
units
have
a
roof
deck
violations,
article
32,
section
four:
this
is
g
card
applicability,
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
R
Sure
yep,
so
we
are
proposing
a
a
two
family
on
what
is
now
a
small
parking
area.
R
R
R
The
building
is
conforming
other
than
that
it
lies
in
the
g-cod
district,
so
we
have
a
no
harm
letter
and
our
approved
boston,
water
and
sewer
plan,
which
I
had
sent
over
a
couple
of
months
ago.
This
one
was
deferred
from
the
december
meeting.
A
Okay,
so
wait
so
are
you
telling?
Are
you
saying
that
other
than
g-cod
that
the
the
rest
of
it
is
as
of
right
and
you
don't
need
any
variances,
correct,
yep?
Okay?
Well
then,
let's
move
on.
Let's
move
to
question:
are
you.
AN
There
christian,
yes,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board
good
morning
actually
good
afternoon,
christian
siminelli,
boston,
groundwater
trust
and
we
have
both
the
boss
of
water,
so
approval
and
no
harm
letters.
We
have
them
as
well.
Mr
chair.
A
Okay-
and
I
think,
if
that's
the
case
and
that's
really
the
only
issue,
I
think
we're
ready
for
emotion.
M
A
A
I
think
we
may
have
lost
mr
hampton
for
yes
and
but
I
mean
in
terms
of
our
authority
really
all
we
all
we
can
take
care
of
is
the
g-cod
issue
got
it
so,
okay,
so
emotions
been
made
all
those
in
favor,
aye,
okay
and
again,
because
of
that,
there's
no
need
for
public
testimony.

Following
your
next
case,
calling
voa
110-1370-16
baker
court,
this
is
direct
a
four-story
multi-family
building
with
six
residential
units,
no
parking,
private
roof
deck
and
six
bike
racks
one
in
each
unit.
The
existing
building
is
to
be
raised,
violation,
article
65,
section
15,
a
multi-field
dwelling
against
conditional
use
article
65,
section
16,
the
fourier
ratio
is
excessive.

BE
Here,
with
adam
sarva
from
cornerstone
real
estate,
who
is
the
proponent
developer,
also
here
with
niddy
john
from
prowess
schelinski
architects?
Just
to
give
you
some
background,
this
is
the
third
of
a
three
building
development
which
went
through
the
bpda's
article
80
large
project
review,
its
other
two
buildings
were
approved
by
this
board
with
a
few
provisos
at
its
october
hearing,
and
those
decisions
have
now
gone
through
the
process.
BE
H
Thanks
joe
the
chair,
what
you
see
on
the
screen
is
all
the
floor
plans
all
the
four
floor
plans.
I'd
like
to
quickly
confirm.
There
are
six
units,
the
bottom
two
floors.
We
have
a
one
bed
and
two
bed
units
and
the
top
two
floors
that
you
see
on
the
top.
That
is
number
three
the
floor
three
and
floor.
Four
are
the
same
unit.
These
are
two
loft
units,
so
there
are
two
bedroom
units
plus
the
loft
space.
H
So
that's
totally
how
we
have
six
units.
The
basement
in
the
bottom
right
shows
the
storage
mechanical
spaces
and
the
six
bike
racks
that
we
have
for
the
units
and
the
top
most
on
the
roof
that
you
see.
That
is
only
a
private
patio.
For
that
one
unit.
On
the
left
side,
one
loft
unit
has
access
to
a
private
deck.
That's
programmatically!
H
I
have
the
unit
sizes,
because
I
think
this
is
the
chair
had
requested
that
the
last
time
we
had
shown
the
other
two
buildings,
the
one
bedroom,
which
is
the
smallest
unit,
is
700
square
feet.
All
the
other
two
bedrooms
and
loft
units
are
from
1277
square
feet
down
to
983
and
one
unit,
that's
910
square
feet,
so
these,
like
joe
said,
are
the
larger
units
in
the
development.
BE
Yeah,
so
they
are
three
separate
voa
cases,
and
this
one
there
was,
and
it
wasn't
properly
advertised
they
didn't
get
all
of
the
correct
violations
cited,
and
so
we
asked
it
to
be
re-advertised.
It
was.
It
had
to
be
reviewed
again
because,
like
a
lot
of
article
80
projects,
there
were
a
series
of
modifications.
The
plan
examiner
dismissed
the
citation.
H
H
It
is
a
it's,
it
cannot
be
a
hatch
for
code
reasons,
so
it
is
an
actual
walkable
space.
A
H
Want,
yes,
I
think
the
next
few
sheets
should
have
the
renderings
and
the
views.
Our
intel
very
honest,
is
to
have
a
head
house
that
is
minimal.
A
One
of
the
ways
in
which
designers
achieve
minimization
of
the
head
house
is
a
sloping
roof
instead
of
a
instead
of
a
box.
A
Okay,
how
are
the
drawings,
mr
robinson,.
M
Drawings
are
pretty
straight
forward,
no
question.
I
think
the
head
house
has
been
discussed,
so
we
can
caption
that
later
no
other
questions.
BO
H
BO
Sure
is
my.
My
other
comment
is
the
same
as
with
the
other
project,
the
the
other
presentation
you
made,
which
is
I
I
know
everybody
thinks
everybody
bicycles
or
whatever,
but
there
are
lots
of
cars
parked
parked
by
here
and
have
there
been
conversations
with
that
garage
as
with
the
other
project.
H
Adam
can
speak
to
that
on
ongoing
conversations,
but
yes,
we
did.
We
did
approach
them
to
make
that
building
better
the
garage
better
and
we
put
ballers
at
the
end
of
the
street,
so
this
did
not
become
a
cut
through
traffic
issue,
so
we
have
three
bollards
on
the
road,
so
cars
are
not
just
looping
in.
BE
Yeah,
I
think
you
mentioned
you-
know
the
hot
mess
so
to
speak.
Is
you
know
these
are
a
series
of
private
ways
right
that
we're
able
to
govern
together
with
the
abutters
who
we've
worked
really
closely
with,
but
the
parking
situation
today
is
just
simply
not
organized
on.
You
know.
BE
I
know
that
because
I
go
over
there
quite
frequently,
especially
as
part
of
this
project
review
now,
you
know
that's
not
a
direct
affiliation
with
our
project,
but
certainly
there's
nothing
to
stop
visitors
from
utilizing
that
meeting
someone
with
starbucks
and
and
the
like,
and
the
whole
idea
of
this
infrastructure
plan,
see
on
page
four
of
the
presentation
is
to
show
how
we
can
integrate
this
enclave
of
the
neighborhood
better
with
south
bay.
A
Thank
you.
Okay,
all
right,
let's
move
to
public
testimony.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
opponent.
AI
He's
good
afternoon,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
george
wynn,
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
for
the
last
few
years,
the
applicant
has
worked
through
multiple
iterations.
While
responding
to
community
feedback,
the
applicant
was
asked
to
mitigate
any
negative
advantages
to
transit
and
streetscape
by
fortifying
parking
and
street
infrastructure.
AX
F
I
I'm
president,
at
7
baker
court
directly
across
the
street
from
the
proposed
project.
I've
been
working
with
adam
and
his
team
for
over
two
years
now,
they've
been
fantastic.
My
biggest
concern
being
on
the
fourth
floor,
with
a
beautiful
city.
Skyline
view
was
that
the
height
of
the
building
and
head
house
would
obstruct
my
view.
I
Adam
and
his
team
have
been
great
about
changing
the
angle
of
the
head
house
to
be
parallel
to
my
view,
as
opposed
to
perpendicular
and
obstructing,
and
also
moving
to
the
right
away
from
everything
that
I
was
concerned
with
losing
sight
of
I'm
100
in
favor
of
this
project
and
wish
adam
and
his
team.
That's
a
lot.
F
BB
Yes,
thank
you,
william
lawson.
I
live
at
eight
baker
court,
which
is
just
two
doors
down
from
this
proposed
project,
and
I'll
reiterate.
Adam
has
been
great
with
all
of
us
above
building
and
has
taken
all
of
our
feedback
into
account.
So
I
just
like
to
quickly
say
that
I'm
in
full
support-
and
I
hope
that
this
passes.
F
AB
BP
BC
Yes,
leif
mitchell,
eight
baker,
court
number
four
adam
and
his
entire
team
have
been
very
supportive
of
this
entire
project.
We're
we're
very
excited
from
our
condo
association
to
get
this
moving
and
get
through
this
final
hurdle.
Thank
you.

BQ
Joining
me
on
this
at
this
hearing
are
timothy
frazier,
my
colleague
matt
mueller,
who
will
be
the
architect,
making
the
presentation
and
as
well
the
owners
of
the
project
joan
rogerio
and
michael
basin.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
opportunity.
BQ
I
preliminarily
want
to
set
the
context
for
this
conversation
and
then
I'll
turn
it
over
to
matt
mueller.
In
order
to
give
you
the
more
details
on
the
project.
Mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
this
is
a
proposal,
as
was
noted
for
nine
units.
BQ
The
I
just
want
to
say
at
the
outset
that
this
address
on
down
accord
is
the
second
largest
parcel
on
this
nine
parcel
street
in
dorchester
the
originally.
When
my
client
brought
this
proposal,
they
were
my
client
was
requesting
12
units
and
after
discussions
with
both
the
greater
bolton
geneva
association
and
the
meetinghouse
hill
civic
association
ryan
is
now
proposing
nine
units
of
condos
with
one
affordable
unit,
and
mr
mueller
will
talk
to
you
about
the
specifics
on
the
size
of
the
units
and
the
details
there.
BQ
The
additionally
there
is,
will
be
storage
and
bike
storage
for
for
the
for
those
units.
BQ
The
parking
that's
required
is
12
and
we're
having
nine
boston
off
street
parking
spaces
and
while
we're
still
proposing
nine
condo
units
and
trying
to
keep
with
the
concept
that
has
been
discussed
in
the
city
providing
housing
for
us,
our
residents,
the
the
neighborhood
association,
had
discussed
with
us
the
possibility
of
doing
six
units,
but
that
made
the
project
economically
unfeasible.
BQ
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
ask
mr
mueller
to
take
you
through
the
specifics
of
the
project,
so
matt.
A
BQ
Because
it
is
simply
because
when
we
were
in
comic
or
earlier,
deferrals
were
because
we
wanted
to
be
in
conversation
with
the
community.
This
one
here
is
as
a
result
of
the
administer
that
the
issues
that
we
had
at
the
previous
hearing,
where
all
of
these
hearings
had
to
be
moved
to
this
state.
Okay,.
A
BR
BR
BR
Each
floor
above
has
three
units:
two
bedroom,
two
bath,
the
smallest
being
approximately
900
square
feet,
the
largest
being
1150
square
feet,
and
those
units
are
the
same
going
up.
Each
unit
has
a
small
outdoor
balcony
space
and
the
we
feel
that
the
four
stories,
although
it's
it's,
exceeds
the
height
the
the
neighboring
three-story
units
are
raised.
So
it's
approximately
a
comparable
height
and
I
think
that's
that's
the
main
point
you're
trying
to
hit
for
you
guys.
Okay,.
A
I'm
I'm
I'm
looking
at
the
drawings
in
front.
The
the
the
south
elevation
is
the
front
elevation,
correct,
that's
correct,
yeah,
okay
and
are
those
is
that
are
those
two
garage
doors
on
either
side
of
the
door
to
access
the
the
ground
floor
level,
garage.
BR
No
sir,
if
the
garage
was
on
the
side,
if
you
look
at
the
rendering
on
the
first
page,
you'll
see
those
windows.
A
M
Drawings
are
fine,
no
no
issues
with
what's
drawn.
You
know
I
do
worry.
I
feel
like
it's
a
little
big.
I
you
know
in
sort
of
surveying
the
area,
there's
really
nothing
over
three
stories,
and
I
think
this
feels
a
little
hulking
due
to
its.
I
think
it's
design,
which
is
quite
bulky
in
terms
of
just
square,
and
so
I'm
a
little
nervous
about
its
sort
of
height
and
density.
M
If
it
maybe
had
some
more
setback
on
it,
it
might
feel
a
little
bit
better,
but
I'm
a
little
bit
worried
too
about
the
site
plan
and
the
access
for
some
real
green
space
in
terms
of
the
parking
and
the
drive.
So
I
I'm
feeling
a
little
it's
a
little
bit
big
for
its
spot,
but
I'll
hear
other
comments
from
the
board
or
from
the
community
on
on.
That
seems
like.
M
A
Okay,
can
we
move
the
testimony.
W
Good
afternoon,
members
of
the
board
denise
santos
here
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time
we
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board
we
did
have
community
meetings
where
there's
no
support.
There's
all
oppositions
the
community
was
concerned
around
density
and
parking
and
just
it
being
a
one-way
street.
So
the
density
and
just
the
houses
around
it
with
the
units
and
just
safety
hazards.
W
A
So
was
it,
can
I
ask
you
a
question
on
that?
Denise
was
that
up
that
almost
total
opposition
based
on
the
12
unit
proposal
or
the
nine
unit,
or
both.
W
They
proposed
12,
the
community
didn't
support
12.
They
felt
like
that
was
too
much.
They
came
back
to
the
community
with
nine.
The
community
asked
if
they
could
bring
it
down
to
six
units,
just
because
there's
not
that
there's
only
three
deckers
on
that
street
and
I
believe
it's
only
like
three
to
four
houses
on
that
street
and
they
said
they
would
come
back
with
the
new
plan
to
the
community
and
they
haven't.
BQ
Give
me
the
mr,
like
I
just
wanted
to
clarify.
If
I
might,
this
is
the
turning
teaser
mr
santos
is,
is
correct
that
we
did
not
come
back
before
the
community
with
regards
to
that
or
not.
I
stated
at
the
outset
that
the
community
had
come
back
to
us
with
the
six,
and
that
was
communicated
back
to
the
community,
that
that
was
not
going
to
be
a
what
my
client
would
be
able
to
do.
So
I
just
don't
want
the
record
to
reflect
that.
BQ
A
Understood
there
was
opposition
to
nine
and
your
client
determined
that
it
was
not
economically
viable
to
go
forward
with
six.
So
there
was
obviously
a
difference
of
perspective
on
this.
A
And
I
think
that
that
we're
also
concerned
about
the
density
and
the
law
coverage
and
the
just
bulkiness
of
the
design
as
well.
So
I
would
entertain
emotion
at
this
point.
M
I
I
just
think
it's
too
big.
I
think
we
need
to
deny
without
prejudice
and
I
think,
there's
a
project
here.
I
understand
the
shape
of
the
site.
I
just
think
this
nine
units,
maybe
the
units,
could
be
smaller.
I
just
think
it's
too
big
for
the
for
the
site
and
the
context
of
the
street.
A
All
right,
all
those
in
favor,
aye
aye
any
opposed.
The
motion
carries
it's
denied
without
prejudice
and
hopefully
there
could
be
a
meeting
of
the
minds
with
a
slightly
modified
proposal
and
well.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman
members.
Thank
you
for
the
rest
of
the
day,
always
nice
to
see
you,
mr
feaster,
and
with
that
I
think
we
will
adjourn
the
meeting
so
long.
Everybody
and
thank
you,
members.
