B
E
E
Currently
there's
a
basement:
now
that's
half
occupiable
in
the
back.
It's
not
you
know.
There's
an
office
back
there
now
we'd
like
to
do
a
two
story:
l
addition
at
the
back,
which
would
be
eight
by
17
and
that's
it.
That's
we'll
be
putting
a
fire
sprinkler
system
in
we're
doing
enough
work.
We
need
to
do
that
and.
A
E
Yeah,
that's
that
plot
plan
is
incorrect.
We'll
have
to
fix
that
the
stairs.
Actually,
if
you
look
at
my
plans,
a1
the
stairs
run
sideways,
there's
currently
a
small
platform
there.
He
may
have
drawn
that
because
there's
a
common
alley
back
there.
If
you
look
at
my
plans
at
the
ground
floor
plan,
yeah,
okay,.
E
E
Yeah,
the
basement
occupancy
will
be
a
family.
If
you
look
at
my
plans,
a1
the
basement
occupancy
will
be
an
office
bedroom
in
the
front.
We've
got
two
big
windows
there,
so
it'll
meet
the
requirements
but
they're
going
to
use
that
for
an
office.
It's
a
small
room
and
it'll
just
be
overflow
when
they
have
family
over,
but
it's
going
to
be
utilized
as
an
office,
and
we
have
currently
have
it's
good
ceiling
height.
Now,
it's
seven
foot,
nine
and
a
half
inches.
We
should
stay
close
to
that.
E
E
C
Plans
are
good,
no
question.
Well,
I
have
one
question.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
so:
there's
some
other
roof
decks
and
you're
holding
the
roof
back
deck
back
from
the
street,
which
I
think
is
great.
It
seems
inclined
with
one
down
a
little
bit.
I
just
want
to
confirm
that
there's
no
dimension
on
it,
but
it
seems
like
it's
pretty
close
to
these.
I.
F
B
Following
the
next
case,
calling
voa
124

mount
vernon

this
is
an
addition
of
168
square

On
the
third

over
an

an
existing

will
be

Please.
E
Again,
it's
tim
shan,
I'm
the
architect
for
the
project.
This
project
is
a
two-family
structure.
Now
we
were
before
the
board
three
or
four
years
ago,
with
the
different,
the
prior
owners
to
add
a
dormer
and
and
do
some
other
things,
a
roof
deck.
This
is
to
add
one
more
bedroom,
growing
family
lives
here
in
this
upper
unit
and
they
need
that
fourth
bedroom.
The
bedroom
would
be
thirteen
nine
by
twelve
three.
Currently
there's
a
roof
deck.
You
know
where
this
bedroom's
going
to
be.
E
F
A
B
Thank
you
further
calling
the
next
case
calling
voa
126

washington
street.
This
is
a
cleaning

arc
from
a
single
family
to
a
two

section,

the
villain
height,
is
excessive
in
stories.
B
I
A
I
I
The
the
floor
to
ceiling
height
in
that
unit
was
in
existing
condition.
It
was
approximately.
I
forget,
the
numbers
is
slightly
over
eight
feet.
The
forms
of
this
also
has
a
sub
basement
to
that.
So
the
two
forms
of
egress
is
out
through
the
back
door
and
then
down
through
the
sub
basement
through
the
patch
from
the
basement
and
also,
if
needed,
you
can
go
upstairs
through
my
unit.
A
I
A
A
I
The
head
house
will
start
a
pro
because
it's
such
a
high
ceiling
because
the
current
roof
is
is
dormant
and
we
we're
going
to
give
it
a
8.5
ceiling
height
and
then
the
roof
dormer
will
start
after
the
8.5
to
9
and
enter
up
into
the
deck
space.
So
we're
adding
a
total
of
new
5.6
of
height
to
the
top
of
the
rich
existing
ridge
board.
A
C
I
think
that
I
mean
I
I
don't
necessarily
have
any
issue
with
the
the
dormer
or
the
extension.
I
think
that's
probably
fair
and
fine
I
mean
I
guess
I
do
have
a
slight
issue
with
the
basement
unit.
Only
from
the
standpoint
of
it
is
a
full
walkout,
so
that's
good,
but
the
bedroom
windows
well
they're
shown
fixed
on
your
plans,
which,
obviously
I
guess
they
shouldn't
be.
Maybe
they
should
be,
but
I
think
we
need
egress
capacity
for
those.
C
So
that's
an
issue,
but
I
guess
I'm
just
wondering
you
know
we
do
kind
of
have
a
little
bit
of
an
issue
with
below
grade
bedrooms,
although
it
is
a
full
walkout.
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
if
maybe
there's
a
way
to
reconfigure
this
a
little
bit
to
make
the
bedrooms
work
a
little
bit
better
with
the
grade
dropping
off.
But
I
guess
that's
not
really
my
job,
but
I
think
you
know
it's
one
of
those
sort
of
standard
conditions.

Any
concerns
by
butter,
butters
were
direct,
were
addressed
and
support
was
shown
at

at

we'd
like
to

good

our

noah
butters
attended
the
meeting,
but
I
did
receive
one
letter
of
support
and
one
letter
of
opposition.
The
opposition
was
due
to
noise,
so
at
this
time
I'd
like
to
differ
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
B
D
K
Craft
and
stephen
spinetto
at
42
sullivan
street,
hey
go
ahead.
We
really
are
not
comfortable
with
any
more
decks
in
the
neighborhood.
There
already
are
way
too
many.
That
house
is
very
high
and
we
have
a
very
small
historic
house.
We
think
these
decks
are
frankly
dangerous,
because
people
put
their
barbecues
their
grills
on
them,
even
though
they
know
they're
not
supposed
to
there's
one
directly
across
the
street
where
the
zoning
board
said
to
the
owner.
K
K
Changed
a
thing:
people
still
do
it.
We've
had
fires
in
this
neighborhood,
most
notably
on
high
street
because
of
grills
that
have
been
on
decks
and
we've.
We've
lost
several
houses
that
had
to
be
rebuilt,
even
ones
that
had
sprinkler
systems,
so
we're
really
not
comfortable
with
having
decks.
This
house
has
a
perfectly
good
outdoor
area.

A
A
A
C

Thank
one,

This

adding

The

Please.
N
O
Thank
you
eric
zackerson
one
ludlow
street
in
charlestown.
The
proposal
is
to
add
a
roof
deck.
There
is
some
historic
record
that
there
was
one
there
a
while
ago,
but
hasn't
been
for
a
while.
There
is
a
existing
head
house
and
that
would
provide
the
access
to
to
this
new
head
to
this
new
roof
deck.
Mr
govindlu
has
worked
with
the
neighborhood
association
built
a
mock-up
and
and
shown
it
to
beacon
hill,
historical
and
gotten
their
recommend
their
yeah.
Their
approval.
P
Good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
mark
griffin
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
our
office
would
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment
at
this
time
we
held
in
a
butters
meeting
on
october
18th,
where
the
applicant
addressed
questions,
comments
and
concerns
from
neighbors,
and
they
also
met
with
the
beacon
hill
civic
association
and
received
their
vote
of
non-opposition
regarding
this
application.
So
yeah
I'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Q
B
A
C
Q
A
R
A
R
Yeah,
so
this
is
a
street
level
hair
salon
we've
been
here
for
three
years.
Currently
we
have
a
makeup
artist
and
brow
specialist.
This
is
lexi
and
she's,
currently
in
training
to
do
microblading,
which
is
oftentimes
a
salon
service
or
a
spa
service.
But
the
city
basically
dictates
that,
as
under
body
art,
which
is
considered
tattooing,
we're
not
looking
to
open
a
tattoo
shop
or
add
actual
tattooing
of
the
body,
it's
strictly
for
cosmetic
and
salon
service
reasons.
So
so.
A
R
C
The
plans
are
fine,
no
real
question,
except
for
I
guess,
which
I
know
is
a
challenge.
So
this
is
on
the
lower
level.
I
guess,
how
do
you
plan
to
address
any
accessibility
or
any,
because
there's
no
assume,
there's
no
elevator
or
no
way
to
get
down
there?
I
mean.
Is
that
a
way
to
manage
that
in
your
head.
R
Yeah,
for
sure
so
I
mean
we
are
closed
sunday,
monday
and
tuesday.
So
if
there
happens
to
be
any
accessibility
issues
with
handicapped
people,
that
would
be
a
private
appointment
that
they
would
have
in
the
upstairs
space,
which
is
already
outfitted
perfectly,
for
you
know,
there's
a
hand
washing
sink
there's
plenty
of
space.
It
has
all
the
requirement.
So
if
that
were
to
be
an
issue,
we
would
be
able
to
accommodate.
S
Hi
yes,
good
evening,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board
kim
crusoe
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
the
applicant
had
an
abutters
meeting
held
by
our
office
on
november
16th,
where
no
opposition
or
comments
were
given
by
any
abutters.
I
have
received
verbal
support
from
the
abutters
at
this
time,
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
Q
B
T
T
Well,
the
if
you
look
at
the
site
plan,
the
configuration
of
the
house
is
a
little
bit
unique
because
the
angles
so
if
it
was
a
rectangular
that
we
can't
have
a
park
in
the
right
hand,
side
without
any
problem,
but
as
the
curve
right
now
and
if
you
look
at
the
site
plan,
you
see
linwood
street.
There
is
the
signage
between
linwood
and
street.
That
say
no
parking
from
that
point
to
the
corner.
B
A
C
I
mean
the
plans
show
exactly
what
the
proponent
is
recommended.
It
looks
like
they
are
already
using
it
in
this
form
because
there's
a
makeshift
curve,
you
know
jumper
with
some
wood
and
then
the
driveway
is
already
appears
to
be
there,
so
I
guess
they're
just
trying
to
legalize
this,
but
I
I
agree
with
mr
damico.
I
just
think
this
is
a
very
hard
spot
to
have
a
car.
U
I'm
good
so
in
a
butters
meeting
was
held
on
october
18th,
in
which
all
of
the
neighbors
who
were
in
attendance
of
the
abutters
meeting
were
all
abutters
and
they
all
did
write
letters
of
support.
The
board
should
have
that
as
well.
If
not,
I
can
make
that
available,
but
all
the
questions
and
concerns
of
the
neighbors
were
answered
by
mr
raynor
and
there's.
There
was
only
support
raised
for
the
project
I
haven't
received.
Any
opposition.

you
following

members
of
the
board.
This
is
a
a
proposal
to
install,
as
just
stated,
into
the
record,
a
tandem
style
driveway
when
the
family
bought
this
address.
It
was
already
subdivided
into
two
lots
in
trying
to
find
a
way
to
park
off
the
street.
The
family
now
has
grown.
They
have
two
young
kids.

Yes,
so
during
the
community
meetings
there's
there
was
this
discussion
that
there's
a
tree
that's
located
right
in
the
center
of
21
sagamore
street.
Several
of
the
abutters
said
that,
if
possible,
they
would
like
that
tree
to
remain.
It's
been
there
for
a
number
of
years,
so
where
this
driveway
is
being
placed
will
ensure
that
that
stays
where
it
is.

C
The
the
plans
are
good.
I
I
live
at
the
end
of
the
street,
so
I'm
looking
at
it
right
now.
I
know
exactly
where
this
is
I've
been
here
for
21
years.
I
know
this
property
very
well
and
I
I
I
understand.
I
understand
the
comments
on
the
green
space,
but
I
think
that
this
is
to
me.
It
seems
like
a
fair
ask.

eventually
a

it.
The

project
is
we're
looking
to
make

Good

I'm,
the
architectural
designer
from
rosa

and

being
representing
the
owner.
Mrs
anna
reese.
The
intention
here
is
to
extend
the
her
living
space
in
this
single
family
dwelling.
The
addition
is
intended
to
be
in
the
back
of
the
house
and
maintain
the
existing
sorry
scream.

A
A
A
She
might
have
gotten
through
the
state,
but
she
might
not
have
come
in
through
this
board
because
you
know
there's
any
issues
with
drop
off
and
pick
up
and
things
like
that,
because
walworth
is
a
fairly
busy
street.
You
know
so
we
we
just
when
a
project
comes
before
us.
We
just
need
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
it
in
its
totality.
A
C
The
the
plans
are
fine.
I
I
I
guess
I
had
some
similar
questions
just
about
not
as
much
about
the
addition
on
the
second
floor
on
the
third
floor,
I
think
that's
probably
generally
fine,
it
was.
It
was
about
the
lower
level
child
care
and
are
those
bedrooms
is
that
is
that?
Are
they
nap?
Rooms
is
the
whole
lower
level,
the
child
care
area
or
those.
C
Dormers
are,
I
understand,
and
I
think
the
the
matching
of
the
the
left
hand
side
has
the
full
length
dormer,
I
think
the
right
hand
side.
I
mean,
I
think
the
bpda,
I
think,
should
look
at
a
little
closer
to
make
sure
it's
consistent
or
see
if
there's
a,
maybe
a
way
to
break
it
up,
but
I'm
generally
okay
with
it.
I
think
more
just
to
figure
out.
If
we
do,
we
need
to
confirm
the
lower
level.
You
know
is
a
legal
use
or
something
I
don't
know
is.
A
AB
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
our
office
conducted
the
butters
meeting
for
this
proposal.
At
the
meeting
there
was
a
mix
of
opinions
expressed.
Our
office
has
received
both
support
and
opposition
letters
from
direct
to
butters.
I
believe
the
board
should
have
access
to
those.
Thank
you.
A
AI
My
name
is
elita
aska,
my
husband
and
I
david
chen,
and
I
live
at
942
south
street.
We
are
direct
of
butters
to
21
walworth,
the
back
of
our
yard.
It
goes
right
along
the
left
side
of
the
right
side
of
their
property,
as
you
face
it
from
the
street.
So
thank
you,
madam
chairwoman,
for
acknowledging
me.
We
would
like
to
vote
voice.
Our
strong
opposition
to
this
proposed
alteration.
AI
AI
We
have
concerns
about
the
fire
risk
posed
by
further
decreasing
the
size,
the
the
distance
between
the
property
building
on
their
side
and
also
the
our
our
property
about
20
years
ago.
There
was
a
big
fire
in
that
house
and
we
almost
lost
our
house
too,
and
I'm
really
reluctant
to
see
further
movement
out
from
the
side
of
the
house
that
would
make
it
closer
to
ours.
AI
AI
I
do
have
concerns
about
the
children
and
the
child
care,
but
wonder
about
the
ultimate
use
of
the
basement
when
there
is
a
kitchen
and
a
bathroom
and
a
laundry
facility
etc
down
there.
And
if
that
were
to
be
an
apartment,
then
the
backyard
would
need
to
be
even
bigger,
not
smaller,
and
I
see
no
hardship
in
the
current
living
situation.
There
we've
been
neighbors
with
them
for
20
years,
at
least,
and
we
see
no
hardship
there.
Z
A
D
D
W
My
concern
is
that
in
this
particular
neighborhood
there's
there's
space
between
each
home
there's
land
that
each
home
has
to
me.
If
those
extensions
are
given
to
the
21
walworth,
it
will
be
the
only
property
in
this
whole
neighborhood
that
would
not
fit
into
this
space
that
everybody
else
has.
It
feels
totally
out
of
being
appropriate
for
this
neighborhood
and
I
too
have
concerns,
but
I
have
concerns
about
the
daycare.
To
be
honest.
Okay,
thank
you,
yeah.
Thank
you.
A
Z
So,
madame
sorry,
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
more
thing
to
to
so
we
are
on
the
same
page
and
as
a
the
fact
that
this
lot
is
comparing
with
the
others
around
is
a
smaller
lot
and
the
intention
here
for
mrs
sannis
really
to
extend
her
living
space
right
now.
She
only
has
about
1
366
square
feet
for
her
home,

she
just
wants.

Hi,
my
name
is
john
freeman,
I'm
the
architect-
and
this
is
my
own
house.
So
my
address
is
six
mentham
street.
It's
a
two
family,
townhouse
style
and
the
other
side
is
owned
by
david
dangler.
Who
is
also
here
with
me
tonight.
We
are
on
our
far
we're
about
200
square
feet
over
in
proposing
this,
and
the
existing
house
is
eight
inches
over
the
setback,
so
the
setback
violation
is
simply
an
extension
of
the
non-conformance.
AJ
AJ
Oh,
I'm
sorry
what
we're
proposing
well,
if
you
could
switch
go
to
this
second
to
last
page,
I
think
that's
the
clearest
indication
we're
adding,
as
I
said,
a
third
floor
and
one
more
yes,
so
I
guess
you
can't
see
the
whole
page
go
down
to
the
bottom,
then
of
that
page.
So
stop
right
there.
So
you
can
see
the
the
data
line
of
the
the
white
stripe.
AJ
That's
in
the
is
the
current
height
and
we're
essentially
lifting
the
roof
up
five
and
a
half
feet
to
create
a
third
story:
we're
aligning
the
ridge
with
the
house
on
the
left,
approximately
and
the
eve
with
the
house
on
the
right
so
that
it
fits
into
the
neighborhood,
because
this
is
townhouse
style,
we're
adding
the
third
floor
to
each
unit.
But
the
units
don't
connect.
The
party
wall
will
go
through.
A
AJ
The
far
by
adding
the
third
floor,
we're
going
to
be
200
square
feet
less
than
290
something
over
the
far
and
but
it
didn't
seem
to
make
sense
to
pull
back
from
the
perimeter
of
the
house.
And
then
the
the
height
violation
is
not
vertical
dimension,
but
rather
that
it's
more
than
two
and
a
half
stories.
