Description
Part 2: https://youtu.be/Fypnd82fKEg
Zoning regulates the use and dimensional boundaries of privately owned buildings and land. The Zoning code is in place to protect the neighborhoods from the construction of buildings or structures that do not fit into the context of a neighborhood. The Zoning Board of Appeal hears appeals for varying the application of the Zoning Code and determines when it is appropriate to grant deviations from code restrictions.

We're

A.M.
First,
we
have
case
VOA,
118,
755,

H
Morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Laureen
scatino
from
Richard
Lindsay's
office,
with
a
business
address
at
245,
Sumner
Street
in
East
Boston
here
today
seeking
a
one-year
extension
for
the
project
located
at
61
and
63
Horace
Street.
This
project
involves
subdividing
and
erecting
a
new
three-family
residential
dwelling.
The
applicant
got
a
little
bit
behind
in
financing
due
to
covid,
but
we're
here
today
back
on
track
and
hoping
to
have
a
one-year
extension
from
August
6th
of
2023
to
August
6th
of
2024.
J
B
Panado,
yes
and
I
see
Mr
Langham
joined
us,
so
Mr
Langham.
Yes,.
J
K
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Matt
eckel
from
Fletcher
Tilton,
with
the
business
address
of
100,
Franklin
Street
on
behalf
of
soila
kaushi
and
her
family,
we're
here
this
morning,
as
mentioned,
seeking
a
one-year
extension
to
the
project
at
15,
Mercer
Street
in
South
Boston.
This
project
was
previously
approved
to
change
the
occupancy
of
the
building
to
a
free
family
dwelling
due
to
this
being
approved
kind
of
near
the
tail
end
of
covet
and
then
some
some
turnover
with
some
sprinkler
plans.
K
L
L
B
C
M
Yes,
I
am
assistant
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
attorney
Derek
small,
the
business
address.
If
you
want
Thompson
group,
Mercy
Mass
we're
here
today
seeking
the
one-year
extension
of
the
approvals
granted
by
this
board
with
a
project
that
1201
since
October
street,
which
it
was
to
erect
a
six
unit
building
with
Southern
parking
spaces.
M
Sorry,
due
to
covert
and
some
Financial
issues,
you
know
we
had
the
delay
the
project
a
little
bit,
but
we
are
back
on
tracks.
Financing
has
been
secured
or
we're
ready
to
go.
J
C
L
B
C
C
O
Primary
development,
yes,
this
is
why
Cameron?
Okay,
let
me
just
make
you
a
panelist
and
once
you
become
a
panelist
you'll,
be
able
to
mute
yourself
and
turn
on
your
video.
P
Is
why
but
we're
in
with
primary
development
on
behalf
of
the
property
owner,
which
is
Terrace
Alpha
LLC
primary
development
as
a
business
address
of
80
Terrace
Street
Boston,
we're
busting
the
extension
for
the
3326
Washington
Street
project?
This
is
a
multi-family
development
in
the
Jamaica
Plain
or
JP
Ross
in
early
District
affordability.
P
The
project
was
approved
also
during
cobit
and
I'll,
be
requesting
the
extension
to
continue
to
pursue
financing
and
and
bring
the
project
to
viability.
E
C
B
C
Q
Good
morning,
Madam
chairman
members
of
the
board
Mark
lacasse,
the
cast
Law
of
the
business
address
of
75
Arlington
Street
in
Boston.
This
is
a
proposed
sixth
unit,
Residential
Building
on
a
vacant
parcel
that
is
between
two
other
buildings
owned
by
this
applicant
at
number,
nine
and
number
15.
So
it
would
fill
in
a
missing
tooth
if
you
will,
between
the
two
buildings.
Q
Approvals
were
originally
obtained
and,
through
the
last
extension,
the
board
confirmed
that
the
covet
act
extension
effectively
rendered
the
first
request
unnecessary.
So
this
effectively
would
be
the
second
request
for
an
extension,
and
the
reason
is
that
financing
has
been
tricky
and
they
continue
to
pursue
that
and
hope
to
be
able
to
build
the
six
units
when
financing
is
secured.
The
request
for
an
extension
is
through
July
4
2024..
Q
J
I
like
to
make
a
motion
to
Grant
an
extension
to
July
4th
2024.,
you
may.
B
R
C
C
C
The
address
being
72
to
72
feet,
Allendale
Street,
I'll,
ask
for
the
representative,
African
or
the
representatives
to
explain,
because
there
is
a
timeline
with
this.
Q
Q
The
five
companion
cases
before
you
were
originally
granted
released
by
this
board
in
2000
in
March
of
2017.
Thereafter,
two
separate
better
challenges
were
filed
in
the
Suffolk
Superior
Court,
one
by
Spring,
House,
Senior,
Living,
Community,
right
next
door
and
another
by
a
group
of
Butters
collectively
in
the
neighborhood.
Both
of
those
cases
were
ultimately
resolved
in
the
Superior
Court
one
by
settlement
in
2019
with
Spring
House
Senior
Living
Community.
Q
The
abetters
filed
an
appealed
to
the
Massachusetts
appeals
court,
which
ran
headlining
into
covet,
of
course,
and
that
appeal
was
pending
until
July,
19
2021
so
effectively.
The
litigation
stay
was
in
place
through
July
19
2021,
and
that
was
the
day
that
the
abetters
brief
was
due
in
the
appeals
court
and
on
that
day,
instead
of
filing
a
brief,
they
filed
a
voluntary
notice
of
dismissal
of
their
appeal
effectively.
Q
Since
the
dismissal
of
the
better
appeals,
we
fought
and
had
approved
by
the
bpda,
a
notice
of
project
change
for
a
reduced
in
scale
project
consistent
with
the
settlement
with
spring
house,
and
we
have
also
had
bpda
design
review
of
the
plans
of
the
reduced
in
scale
project,
which
will
utilize
the
same
zoning
relief
originally
granted
by
this
board.
The
design
review
was
approved
by
the
bpda
in
August
of
2022,
and
plans
are
now
proceeding
to
advance
the
project
to
the
construction
phase.
Q
C
B
Javier,
do
we
do
that
with
extensions?
It's.
B
Oh
okay,
then
we
will
continue
the
voting.
Mr
Stembridge.
Yes,
Mr
Shepherd,
yes,
Mr
Valencia.
Yes,
yes,.
C
R
Yes
good
morning,
thank
you.
Mr
secretary
Madam,
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Kevin
flutier
I'm,
the
Cloutier
law
firm
located
at
1990
Center
Street
West
Roxbury
I,
represent
the
owners
of
residential
property
at
4843,
Washington
Street.
We're
asking
for
this
extension
on
a
project
that
was
initially
approved
by
the
board
on
June
22nd
of
2021,
with
a
decision
file
and
date
of
August,
25th
and
2021..
R
The
project
involves
a
increase
in
the
occupancy
from
two
family
to
three
family
so
that
we
can
legalize
a
pre-existing
third
unit
by
adding
former
space
and
sprinkling
the
building.
The
the
product
could
receive
unanimous
support
from
the
West
Roxbury
zoning
committee,
as
well
as
the
zba
back
in
2021.
R
With
some
of
the
uncertainty
in
the
you
know:
the
housing
economy
during
2122
my
clients,
sort
of
Hit
the
pause
button
on
the
project,
though
they
have
obtained
bpda
approval
through
the
design
Proviso.
They
are
also
since
recently
compiled
all
the
requested
documents
to
move
forward
with
the
building
code
review
at
ISD.
So
we'd
ask
this
board's
consideration
for
an
extension
of
one
year
to
allow
them
to
complete
that
process.
B
T
Good
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
John
Moran
Alpine
advisory
services,
with
the
mailing
address
of
130
Beach
Road
Orleans
Mass
joining
me
in
this
presentation
will
be
on
Worthington
the
architect.
This
board
approved
the
election
of
a
full
unit
townhouse
with
garage
parking
on
April
11
2023..
T
It
was
subject
to
provisos,
bpda
design,
review,
with
special
attention
for
friendly
pedestrian
experience
and
one
10-foot
curb
cut.
We
are
here
today
because
the
one
foot
10
foot
curb
cut
deprives
access
to
the
approved
garage
plan,
which
one
will
address
in
more
detail
and
effectively
creates
a
zoning
violation,
because
the
project
requires
for
our
street
for
off
street
parking
spaces.
T
The
Street
Warren
place
is
a
short
Street
running
from
Warren
Street,
a
major
artery
leading
into
Nubian
square
and
terminating
a
Trevor
a
place,
a
private
way.
A
private
place
runs
from
Dudley
Street
and
terminates
at
Warren
Place.
There
are
on
Warren
Place
on
the
even
side.
There
are
three
single-family
homes
in
our
street
parking
on
the
odd
side
of
the
street.
There
are
three
three
decades
the
project
is
located
at
the
end
of
Warren
Place.
T
The
parking
shown
on
pervert
place
is
Offspring
parking
for
a
major
residential
commercial
development
on
Dudley
Street.
That
is
the
parking
for
the
project
on
Dudley
Street,
the
site,
Locus
abutz,
a
commercial
one
story
structure
on
Dudley
Street.
We
suggest
that
Warren
place
is
not
a
pedestrian
pathway
that
would
have
active,
insignificant
pedestrian
traffic.
It
is
at
the
end
of
a
barn
place.
T
It
is
not
a
walkway
to
Nubian
square
or
it
would
be
in
MBTA
parking,
rapid
transit,
a
part
of
the
incentive
for
undertaking
this
project,
because
the
desire
of
the
applicants
to
invest
home
ownership
in
their
children.
They
are
blessed
to
have
two
of
their
sons
working
in
the
business,
which
is
a
real
estate,
development
and
management
company
secured
parking
is
sought
because
it
would
not
require
loading
and
unloading
of
vehicles
used
in
the
business
in
the
maintenance
aspect
of
the
business.
This
is
a
minority
Roxbury
based
business.
T
A
A
This
letter,
actually
this
would
be
a
great
place
to
start.
So
this
is
many
letters
of
support
that
that
we've
received
for
the
project
and
neighbor
Neighbors
in
the
area
that
are
in
support
of
not
only
the
project
but
the
configuration
with
the
garages
and
curb
cuts,
which
they
specifically
mention
these
letters.
If
you
scroll
down,
there's
some
images
in
the
at
the
end
of
the
of
this
packet
again
many
signatures
of
support,
Urban
League
okay.
So
this
is
a
view
of
Warren
place.
A
Looking
to
the
west
back
towards
Warren
Street
to
our
right
is,
which
is
a
private
way,
and
if
you
continue
scrolling
down,
you'll
see
I,
actually
I'm.
Sorry
that
house,
that
was
in
the
first
image
on
the
right
is,
is
to
be
removed.
This
house
that
you're
seeing
here-
and
this
is
where
the
development's
going.
A
Okay,
if
you
keep
scrolling
down,
you,
can
see
the
houses
in
terrible
shape
has
been
demolished.
So
now
this
is
looking
down.
The
private
way.
Apologies
for
this
being
rotated,
but
there's
no
pedestrian
experience
here.
There's
no
sidewalk
on
this
private
way
and
we're
at
the
very
end
of
Warren
place.
So
the
foot
traffic
is
pretty
minimal
here.
There's
no
reason
that
anyone
would
walk
this
way
as
opposed
to
to
Newman's
Dudley
Street.
Could
you
continue
scrolling
down?
Please.
A
V
A
A
good
view
of
pivot
place.
There
are
private
parking
lots
here
for
the
businesses
on
Dudley
Street,
and
our
project
would
be
again
where
this
red
house
is
so
there's
there's
really
preserving
the
sidewalk
on
Warren
place.
To
connect
to
nothing
on
pavir
doesn't
really
make
sense,
plus
we
would
be
treating
the
the
we
would
have
lighting
and
things
that
would
actually
improve.
The
Pedestrian
experience
on
Warren
Place
continues
continue
scrolling
down.
Please.
A
W
B
W
Madam
chair
is
BP
Ada
and
BTD
Representatives
online.
W
Great
and
Jeffrey
and
Jeffrey
too
their
bpda
previous
recommendation.
Okay,.
A
For
context
sure,
but
before
we
do,
that,
is
it
possible
to
actually
see
the
ground
floor
plan
of
of
the
architecture.
This
really
isn't
giving
us
a
lot
of
info
continue
one
more
slide
after
this
sorry
one
more
okay
here
here
is.
This
shows
one
place
across
the
bottom
of
the
page
and
pavir
on
the
right,
and
you
can
see
that
we
have
individual
curb
Cuts
with
some
sidewalk
between
most
of
them.
A
Essentially,
it's
four
10
foot
curb
cuts
by
reducing
the
by
by
adding
the
Proviso
to
go
to
one
10
foot
wide,
curb
cut.
It,
makes
the
tech
building
feasibility
and
and
means
the
townhouses
that
were
approved,
don't
really
work
as
designed.
B
Hey
Mr
Hampton.
Do
you
want
to
just
briefly
provide
your
your
contacts,
your
previous.
Z
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chairman.
We
stand
by
our
recommendation
that
we
made
back
in
April.
This
is
something
that
we're
not
in
favor
of
we're,
not
in
favor
of
someone
having
an
approved
project.
They
do
have
an
approved
project
that
does
have
provides
those
attached
to
it,
we're
not
in
support
of
somebody
having
an
approved
project
and
coming
back
because
they
don't
like
rhizo
is
attached
to
it.
We
stand
by
our
recommendation,
we're
not
in
favor
of
four
curb
cuts
for
one
building.
Z
We
understand
the
townhouses
of
it,
but
it
is
when
you
look
at
it,
it's
one
building
and
we
believe
in
our
recommendation,
I
think
supports.
That
is
that
the
parking
key
and
B
we
worked
with
one
current
cut,
I'll
leave
it
up
to
Mrs
Amigo
to
you,
know,
confirm
and
deny
that.
But
the
bpda
stands
by
its
recommendations,
which
is
only
made
between
a
half
months.
AA
Btd
I
agree
with
Jeff,
the
curb
cut
can
be
reworked
and
also
the
parking
design,
I
believe
can
be
worked
as
well
and
I
side
with
the
bpda
on
this
project.
So
that's
my
comment.
I
think
this
can
be
improved
in
four
curb
Cuts
is
kind
of
you
know
over
Overkill,
and
so
I
just
want
to
rework
the
pocket.
If
we
can
I'd
like
to
work
with
the
applicant
to
do
so.
Thank
you.
W
I
A
I
W
Just
to
put
some
context,
the
I
was
on
that
board,
as
Jeff
just
mentioned,
BPA
recommendation
was
to
deny
without
prejudice
the
full
board,
heard
the
applicants
and
actually
approved
the
project
with
Proviso
and
my
Rec
collection.
What's
that
the
recommendation
was
to
consolidate
the
garage
entrance
to
one
entrance
for
a
more
accessible
and
better
pedestrian
experience.
AB
T
This
is
your
unique
location
with
minimal
pedestrian
traffic.
These
this
board
has
approved
in
the
past
similar
projects
in
a
more
a
rural
part
of
the
city
we
are
not
creating
I
would
suggest
hazards
to
pedestrians
because
there
would
be
minimal
pedestrian
access.
This
site
was
a
problem.
T
Isd
had
a
number
of
Housing
Court
complaints
filed
against
the
prior
owner
and
the
applicant
that
was
motivated
to
undertake
this
project
with
specific
uses
in
mind.
That
is
that
their
sons
would
occupy
this
project
and
we
was
again
request
the
relief
of
approving
the
project
as
designed
without
the
Restriction
of
one
tent.
C
Madam
chair,
if
I
make
yes,
sir
I've
gone
past,
the
poverty
recently
and
I
do
prefer,
with
the
proponents
that
there
isn't.
There
is
women
with
no
pedestrian
experience
in
that
area,
other
than
very,
very
minimal
for
sure
in
terms
of
I.
I
appreciate
and
hope
that
Mr
Speaker
will
follow
up
with
them,
but
one
trip.
C
But
one
has
to
be
configured
probably
better
than
I
know
to
get
to
get
the
vehicles
in
and
out.
So
in
turn
again
testing
experience,
that's
not
going
to
negate
anything
going
forward,
but
in
terms
of
four
cars
being
able
to
get
out
of
one
one
driveway
pretty
much
that
that
would
be
challenging.
W
Madam
chair
can
I
ask
a
question.
Maybe
it's
marked
for
Javier?
Is
it
possible
to
to
to
approve
the
applicant
in
regards
to
removing
the
10-foot
Proviso,
but
then
to
set
a
new
new
Proviso
to
suggest
to
work
the
parking
layout
with
BTD
and
BP
and
bpda
great.
B
W
That
sounds
good
and
then
just
for
Norm
I
I
hear
you
it
it's
just
in
terms
of
Urban
Design
principles.
Do
we
do
we
want
to
Advocate
a
city
that
lends
itself
to
an
urbanism
that
is
automobile
Centric
in
the
city?
Or
do
we
want
to
support
kind
of
a
happy
medium,
and
so
this
project
does
rely
on
supporting
car
Centric
kind
of
urbanism
as
it
stands,
so
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
Norm's
feedback,
but
also
to
look
at
it
in
the
context
of
just
Urban
Design.
E
Mom
said
if
I
may
I
have
another
question:
oh
I'm,
so
sorry
go
ahead
to
fully
proponent
when
we
saw
a
project
if
I
remember
correctly,
one
question
was
about
your:
what
are
the
ways
for
the
project
to
prevent
all
the
gases
from
the
the
cars
in
the
parking
lot
to
come
into
the
unit?
The
living
room,
Etc
I
think
you
mentioned
at
that
moment
that
you
were
still
trying
to
figure
about
the
ventilation.
G
W
Madam
chair
I'd
like
to
put
forward
a
motion
of
approval
with
Proviso,
which
is
to
remove
the
10-foot
curb
restriction,
but
to
work
with
that.
The
applicant
needs
to
work
with
BTD
and
bpda
on
a
parking
solution
that
would
make
it
more
pedestrian
friendly.
B
More
pedestrian
friendly
and
still
not
reduced
and
reducing,
curb
Cuts
yeah,
that's
pretty
close.
We
have
a
second
second
Mr
Stembridge,
yeah
Mr.
L
B
Yes,
Mr
Valencia.
Yes,
yes,.
AD
Mr
secretary,
on
behalf
of
the
applicant
Matt
Walder,
with
the
law
firm
of
Robinson
Cole
offices
at
one
Boston,
Place,
Boston,
Massachusetts
briefly
stated:
these
are
air
matters
concerning
compliance
of
a
proposed
deep
energy
retrofit
and
renovation
project
at
the
Eva
white
apartments
in
the
South
End.
The
issue
before
us
is
compliance
with
the
requirements
of
article
32
of
the
code,
given
the
Project's
location
within
the
groundwater
conservation
overlay
District
in
attendance
with
me
this
morning
are
Phil
Cullen
from
wind
development,
the
project
developer
and
Sarah
ebaugh
of
BHB
or
the
project
Engineers.
AD
O
AD
So
yeah,
so
the
project
is
on
Tremont
Street,
close
to
the
Mass
Turnpike
extension,
the
North
End
of
the
South
End.
It
is
two
separate
buildings,
one
that
runs
on
three
months
three
and
then
one
that's
separated
by
a
landscape
Courtyard.
The
project
includes
I,
think
is
the
initial
description
indicated
Renovations
units
non-structural,
but
including
exterior
panels
on
the
building.
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
AD
This
is
an
elevation
from
I,
believe
Tremont
Street
and
the
next
one
would
be
an
elevation
yeah
from
that's
three
months
read
the
first
one
was
from
the
rear.
AD
The
project
is
a:
is
it
BHA
owned
land
with
the
white
Apartments
limited
partnership
as
the
developer
as
the
sort
of
re
renovated,
the
building
buildings
and
the.
B
AD
AF
AB
AF
Multi-Family
buildings,
as
Matt
mentioned,
they're
owned
in
V
by
BHA
So,
based
on
this
project
for
the
Deep
energy
retrofit.
The
upgrade
upgrades
plays
Us
in
article
32
of
clickability,
however,
based
on
the
existing
side
constraint,
Hotel
review
in
a
couple
of
slides,
it's
really
unfeasible
to
provide
infiltration
on
site.
AF
So,
if
you
don't
mind
going
to
the
next
slide,
just
to
provide
a
brief
overview
of
the
proposed
site
work,
they
are,
there
will
be
some
minor
trenching
to
install
upgraded
utility
lines
and
reconstruction
of
portions
of
the
concrete
plazas
to
make
Ada
to
meet
ADA
requirements.
Along
with
the
energy
retrofit,
we
created
the
need
for
condensate
lines
for
each
of
the
buildings
and
those
will
be
connected
directly
into
the
internal
restraining
system.
AF
Next
slide.
Thank
you.
As
I
mentioned,
the
building
takes
up.
The
majority
of
each
parcel
in
the
building.
Here
is
highlighted
in
Gray
on
each
each
of
the
individual
Parcels.
The
black
circles
that
you
see
throughout
the
site
are
the
peers
supporting
the
building
and
there
are
multiple
existing
utilities.
You
can
see
highlighted
in
the
different
colors
stream
sewer
water
Etc.
So
really
any
subsurface
infiltration
would
impact
those
existing
utilities
and
potentially
could
undermine
the
foundations
of
the
Middle.
AD
Great
thanks
I
think
if
you
want
to
just
go
back
up
to
the
slide
right
after
above
them
again,
so,
basically,
as
Sarah
indicated,
the
request
is
for
a
waiver
of
the
capture
requirements
of
subsection,
a
of
section
32-6,
while
complying
with
subsection
B
of
that
section
and
so
I
think
we
can.
We
can
stop
here
and
take
questions
from
the
board
at
your
pleasure.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AG
Yes,
Madam
chair
good
morning
good
morning,
members
of
the
board
as
well
Christian
seminelli
Boston,
groundwater
Crest.
We
do
support
the
applicant's
request
for
variance
at
this
time,
along
with
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer,
and
this
will
be
pretty
much
consistent
with
the
way
that
the
board
has
granted
variances
for
projects
like
this
over
the
years,
with
the
two
primary
purposes
being
one.
AG
If
an
infiltration
system
or
systems
are
installed,
it
would
damage
foundations
of
the
existing,
lower,
budding
structures
and
two
also
in
this
case
the
composition
of
the
fill
has
a
high
amount
of
coal
in
it,
which
has
some
contamination
with
lead,
and
that
would
also
lead
to
a
migration
if
the
recharge
system
was
installed
for
that
contamination.
Offsite
So,
based
on
all
the
documentation
and
the
discussions
that
we've
had
with
the
applicant
going
back
to
I
think
as
far
as
2021.
We
support
their
request
for
a
variance
at
this
time.
AH
I'm
happy
to
answer
that
question.
This
is
Phil
Collins
developments,
team,
I,
I
lost
internet
earlier.
So
thank
you,
the
rest
of
the
team
for
covering.
For
me.
We
are
planning
to
do
this
as
an
In-Place
renovation,
where
the
residents
will
have
day
spaces
during
the
day
and
we're
remodeling
their
bathrooms
and
kitchens
without
displacing
any
residents.
AH
We're
hoping
to
start
construction
this
year,
hopefully
before
the
end
of
the
year
and
all
in
all
it'll
likely
take
about
a
year
and
a
half.
However,
the
inconvenience
for
the
residents
will
be
much
shorter
than
that.
A
lot
of
the
construction
has
to
do
with
the
new
exterior
facade
to
create
the
Deep
energy
retrofit
for
the
building,
but
the
day
spaces
will
be
as
temporary
as
possible.
Hopefully,
residents
will
only
spend
you
know
a
very
brief
amount
of
time
out
of
their
units
and
then
be
able
to
to
return.
C
J
C
O
Doug
is
that
you
I'm
sending
sending
a
request
and
then
Einstein,
you
see,
you
have
your
hand
raised
as
well.
I'm,
not
sure
sorry,.
AI
AG
O
AJ
AJ
Sorry
I
didn't
know,
I
could
meet
myself.
I
was
waiting
for
you
to
do
that.
I
was
trying
to
raise
my
hand
a
bunch.
Are
you
with
20
Holyoke
Street
I'm,
the
20
Holier?
Thank
you,
okay,
perfect!
Thank
you
chair
and
the
board.
So
it's
my
first
time
doing
this
I'm
not
Stein
I'm.
The
designer
of
this
project
I
represent
the
owner
and
the
GC
Stephano
Granada
for
the
cardboard
project
at
Holyoke.
Street
I
am
the
full
year
of
Boston
landscape
company,
located
at
535
Albany
Street,
Boston,
Mass
and
I.
AJ
Just
Just
Jump
Right
In.
Thanks
for
bringing
up
the
plans,
I
think
everyone
here
is
going
to
be
really
happy,
especially
the
groundwater
representative,
because
we're
trying
to
do
something
really
Progressive
here,
it's
a
little
different,
maybe
than
things
you've
seen
we're
gonna
go
way
above
and
beyond
what
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer
approves,
but
we
also
have
another
plan
from
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer
that
we
can
flip
back
and
forth
from.
So
you
can
see
that
we
did
have
this
all
reviewed
by
an
engineer
as
well.
AJ
AJ
Carport
has
a
green
roof
on
top,
so
I'm
unsure
if
the
board
recognizes
that
as
a
permeable
space
or
impermeable,
but
the
design
for
this
ultimately
would
capture
up
to
five
inches
of
rainfall,
which
is
four
or
more
inches
than
required
by
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer.
So
unsure
like
this
is
one
cool
detail.
If
you
can
scroll
down
one
slide,
please.
So
this
is
the
existing
right,
so
it
was
a
black
top
area,
that's
impermeable
and
then
the
decks
are
set
on
top
of
concrete
they're
like
pads
on
pads.
AJ
AJ
You
can
go
in
keep
going
down
one
more
down
one
more
down
one
more
so
here
on
the
right.
There's
a
if
you
go
up,
please
all
right
there,
so
you
can
see
on
the
right
hand,
side,
there's
a
circle
that
shows
a
close-up
of
the
painting
pattern,
so
these
bricks
actually
have
a
product
called
porous
pain
set
in
between
so
there's
two
inches
of
basically
gravel
the
binders
so
that
water
just
pours
right
through
so
this
entire
surface,
actually.
V
AJ
We
have
just
so
much
drainage
and
I'm
really
excited
to
do
this
project
because
you
know
I've
been
Landscaping
in
the
South
End
for
20
years,
I've
worked
on
countless
projects
and
I've
been
waiting
for
a
project
that
could
do
something
that
was,
you
know,
so
appropriate
for
really
capturing
groundwater
and
some
sort
of
ecologically
future
forward.
Instead
of
a
typical
dig,
a
big
hole
that
just
gets
filled
with
rats
anyway.
So
any
questions
thank.
AG
Boston
brawler
trust
we
have
both
those
from
the
applicant
and
we
certainly
like
the
look
of
us
and
we
sort
of
like
the
design
of
it.
We'd
love
to
see
more
of
it.
I
would
add
a
note
for
the
applicant.
These
systems
are
only
as
good
as
as
long
as
the
voids
in
these
spaces
are
clear.
So
maintenances
are
the
utmost
importance
when
putting
in
something
like
this,
so
I
would
encourage
the
applicant
to
maintain
a
regular
maintenance
schedule
to
keep
these
voids
open,
whether
that's
power,
washing
or
racking
sleeping.

Nicholas
I'm
with

on

we're
putting
in
a
groundwater
system
here
pretty
standard.
We
do
it
on
a
lot
of
our
projects.
We
got
a
letter
from
our
civil
engineer
with
a
no

letter
from

pretty
much.

I
got.

We've
reviewed,

perspective
this

we
believe
that
the
that
this
could
benefit
from
a
few
changes.

we'd
like

deferral
to
modify

come
back

Yeah
good
morning,
man,
chairman
of
the
board,
this
is
Mike
Ross
attorney
with
the
law
firm
of
principal
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
This
is
a
notice
and
advertising
issue.
The
individual
Parcels
that
are
associated
with
this
address
were
not
included
in
the
in
the
notice
or
purpose,
and
therefore
upon
discussion
with
attorney
Culver
of

We
all
believe
the
most
to
correct
the
notice
issue.

Is
Mr

to
defer
something
here?
Yes,
good
enough?
Yes,
ninth

okay!
So
we'll
call
that
at
that
time,
thank
you.
Okay
assistant.
C
Okay,
next,
we
have
case
boa

AM
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
good
morning,
Minnesota
Board
Eric
Hopson,
here
licensional
contractor
with
a
business
address
of
Woodville
Park
here
for
the
owner,
Tony
Rivera
regarding
782
Union
Street,
we're
proposing
three
family
residential
dwelling
specific
for
low
income.
It's
going
to
have
about
three
off
streets
parking
spaces.
Excuse
me
and
the
design
completely
aligns
with
the
moh's
housing
standards.
It's
two
bedrooms:
1160
square
feet
per
bedroom.
Thank
you
for
doing
the
slides.
We're
going
to
do
a
Hardy
plank,
siding
PVC
trim,
30-year
architectural
shingles.
AM
You
can
scroll!
Please
next
slide.
AM
These
are
just
so
it's
going
to
have
a
rear
decks
for
the
egress
in
the
rear,
the
basement
lights
to
be
unfinished
and.
B
Thank
you.
Can
you
just
clarify
I
know
you,
you
just
noted,
you
know
specific
or
low
income,
but
you're.
Not
these
are
not
going
to
be
deed
restricted.
Are
they.
AM
AB
AM
Owner
lives
next
door
at
82
Julian,
and
this
is
a
building
she's
looking
to
own
and
maintain
to
add
some.
You
know
some
apartments
to
the
Commonwealth.
Thank.
W
You,
but
you
mentioned
major
mayor
moh,
mayor
of
housing
in
the
mix.
Are
these
prototypes
from
them
so.
AM
In
the
buildings
design,
we
refer
to
the
mayor's
office
of
housing,
design,
standards
and
that
specifies
minimum
bedrooms
and
art
units
and
we
align
and
we
exceed
some
areas
regarding
that.
So
one
of
them
would
be
for
two
bedroom:
the
minimum
square
footage
of
750
square
feet
and
we're
going
to
have
1160.
right.
AM
W
W
Maybe
Jeff
Hampton
from
bpda,
it's
Jeff
online.
W
Jeff
this
is
this
is
a
comment
that
I
made
before
on
the
prototypes
coming
out
from
mayors
of
housing
that
don't
really
address
issues
of
accessibility,
but
we
received
a
note
from
Tilton
who
is
from
the
mayor's
commission
for
person
with
disability,
where
she
made
comments
in
regards
to
making
the
front
entry
more
accessible.
Can
you
please
make
a
note?
This
is
the
second
time
I
I
request
this
to
have
manage
of
housing.
If,
if
people
are
using
it
as
a
prototype
to
address
that
issue,
so.
W
There's
no
conflict
with
mayor's
commission
for
person
with
disability
right.
Z
You
know
I
agree
with
that
Mr
Barraza
and,
as
you
can
see,
we've
recommended
approval
with
design
reviewer
in
this
case
and
I
think
can
address
that
issue
right.
So.
Z
B
Think
someone
a
Kristen
who
looks
to
be
on
for
mayor's
office
of
housing,
because
I
think
Miss
bedbroz
is
bringing
up
sort
of
a
general
policy.
Slash
design
issue
to
so
that
they
can
reconcile
and
be
more
aligned
is
Kristen
here
to
speak.
AM
When
you
were
done,
I
was
going
to
ask
you
to
go
to
the
front
elevation
of
the
building,
because
it
shows
specifically
a
clear
entryway
see
you
just
go
straight
in
there's
no
stairs
and
Mr.
Rivera
is
actually
dedicating
the
first
unit
to
handicap
accessibility.
So
we're
going
to
be
working
with
the
architect
to
tweak
that
design.
Initially,
it
was
just
going
to
be.
You
know,
low
income,
but
some
past
and
time
passed
and
she
decided
that
she
wants
to
do
the
first
floor
of
the
handicap.
Accessibility.
B
Great
okay,
great
sorry,
did
you
miss
Barraza,
there
is
someone
from
mayor's
office
of
housing.
Did
you
just
want
her
to
comment
briefly
and
then
I
know,
Mr
Langham
had
a
question.
B
J
AM
Where
we
are,
we
have
she
has
this.
This
property
is
this:
property
is
actually
going
to
have
parking
for
three
cars
in
the
rear,
but
the
the
two
top
houses
on
the
street
have
has
parked
for
parking
inside
everywhere
and
that's
why
we
implemented
a
small
building
to
accommodate
parking
in
the
rear
for
each
unit.
C
Thank
you
along
those
lines
that
share
Mr
D'amico
is
still
with
us.
He
had
a
comment
regarding
that.
C
Record
for
Sydney
Julian
Street,
the
project
should
have
two
spaces
parked
at
a
60
degree.
Angle
for
safe
mobility
was
the
comment
that
we
received
from
Mrs
Dominico.
Okay,.
B
Thank
you,
the
screen
looks
Frozen,
so
I
think
he
may
not
be
with
us
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
W
So
just
one
comment:
Derek
I
did
review
your
plans
and
although
your
front
door
is
accessible
there,
you
do
have
to
go
up
or
risers
to
go
to
the
first
unit.
So
it's
not
that's
what
that's
what
our
that's!
What
Sarah
Tilton
was
commenting
on
from
the
mayor's
commission
for
personal
disabilities.
Yes,.
AM
X
Certainly
I,
can
you
guys
all
hear
me?
I
can't
speak
to
the
specific
design
issues.
The
reason
that
I'm
attending
the
hearing
is
because
this
is
the
site
is
what
was
one
of
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
yard
sale
site
that
was
sold
about
20
25
years
ago,
and
so
there
we
will
impose
a
deep
restriction
on
at
least
one
of
the
units
to
ensure
affordability
in
the
long
term.
I've
spoken
with
the
developer
and
owner
just
briefly
about
this,
and
so
we'll
be
working
on
that
to
solidify
the
details
about
everything
going
forward.
W
Kirsten
I
think
my
comment
was
basically
the
developer
was
using
the
measure
of
housing
prototype
examples
to
kind
of
inspire
their
design
and
we've
seen
come
some
past
projects
coming
forward
without
an
accessible
unit,
usually
using
the
student
technology.
So
we
just
want
you
to
be
in
alignment
with
Shara
Tilton
in
addressing
some
of
her
concerns
with
accessibility
to
units.
Yes,.
X
G
I
just
want
to
pick
up
on
btd's
comment
about
two
spaces,
because
I
think
that
would
also
allow
some
green
space
on
this
site.
It
looks
like
the
entire
site
is
covered
with
the
building
or
Paving.
G
So
I
would
like
to
sort
of
ask
the
applicant.
Can
we
see
some
permeables
surface
on
this
driveway
and
Paving
in
with
the
elimination
of
one
of
the
spaces?
Some
Landscaping.
AM
AG
AI
Yeah
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Bruce
Cochran,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
The
applicant
has
completed
their
Community
process
at
this
time.
Our
office
is
held
in
a
better
meeting
in
April
this
year,
where
a
boat
has
expressed
concerns
over
the
project,
with
one
about
explicitly
supporting
the
project.
Other
letters
of
support
or
opposition
have
been
emailed
to
zba
and
on
file
with
them.
At
this
time,
I
was
not
notified
of
any
stats
the
local
Civic
group
has
taken,
but
at
this
time
I'd
like
to
defer
to
the
board's
judgment.
AI
N
Madam
chair
I
would
also
like
to
add
Keisha's
antenna
from
the
mayor's
office
of
Legoland.
Services
I
would
also
like
to
add
that
the
Box
reading
the
council
Express
concerned
regarding
Authority
registration
for
each
new
applicant
has
confirmed
already
in
the
mayor's
office
housing,
but
just
wanted
to
put
that
on
board
as
well.
Thank
you.
O
AN
So
we've
attended
a
meeting
with
the
sustainable
development
committee
of
Dudley
Street
neighborhood
initiative,
where
this
project
received
overwhelming
support,
and
so
the
city
councilor
Tanya,
Fernandez
Anderson
gives
her
conditional
support
to
the
project.
However,
we
were
waiting
for
the
information
that
was
delivered
today
by
Kirsten
studly
in
to
make
sure
that
the
requirements
of
the
yard
sale
were
complete.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
X
Pearson
from
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
just
to
follow
up
on
what
Lorraine
said,
we'll
be
working
with
the
developer
and
owner
on
an
ongoing
basis
to
outline
the
specific
parameters
of
affordability
and
the
deed
restrictions
on
at
least
one
of
the
units
that
will
require,
and
so
we
can
get
back
to
you
with
more
details.
As
the
negotiations
go
back.
Thank.
B
Okay,
may
I
have
a
second
second
Mr
Stembridge.
S
B
AB
AO
Thank
you,
Miss
Dem
Bridge.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members.
The
board
attorney
Jeff
Drago,
with
drego
and
Toscano,
with
the
business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street.
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
nobody
was
here
on
behalf
of
Mike
studkins,
the
owner
of
the
proposed
project.
We
also
have
Adam
Glassman
the
architect
for
the
proposal.
AO
This
is
to
confirm
the
existing
occupancy
and
then
change
it
from
a
three
unit,
building
to
a
four
unit
to
completely
got
renovate
the
building
and
I
wrecked
a
fourth
story
addition
and
a
rare
Edition,
the
particular
building
is
located
in
the
Maverick
Square
area
right
right
outside
of
the
square,
and
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
because
what
we're
looking
at
is
a
rendering
the
existing
building,
which
is
the
smaller
building
there.
Now
that's
actually
three
stories
and
has
been
abandoned
and
left
unattended
for
years
until
my
client
just
recently
purchased
it.
AO
So
this
will
be
completely
renovated
as
part
of
The
Proposal,
we're
seeking
to
add
a
fourth
story:
Edition
and
then
a
rare
Edition
right
now
there
are
existing
rare
decks
on
the
property.
Those
decks
would
be
removed,
they're
important
Edition,
the
rear
extension
would
only
go
out
as
far
as
those
existing
decks
to
infill
the
back
and
give
these
rooms
more
functionality
right
now,
they're
very,
very
tiny
one
bedroom
units
and
this
proposal
would
allow
us
to
have
larger
living
space
area,
one
bedrooms,
but
also
on
the
top
floor.
AO
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
this
area
is
Right
within
shark
walking,
walking
distance
right
to
the
the
next
block
to
Maverick
t
station,
which
makes
it
great
for
those
commuting,
and
you
can
see
there
are
multi-family
residential
all
around
it.
Although
the
buildings
to
the
left
and
right
of
which
we
had
support
three-story
buildings,
if
you
look
across
the
way
along
Paris,
Street
and
other
across
the
street,
there
are
four-story
for
precedent.
Just
to
point
out.
AO
When
we
first
have
filed
this
project,
we
are
proposing
to
add
some
additional
living
space
in
the
basement.
As
I
know,
that
was
mentioned
in
the
bpda's
recommendation.
As
we
filed,
we
discovered
this
fell
into
a
g-cod
and
flood
Hazard
District.
We
immediately
removed
that
basement
space,
so
that
would
only
be
used
for
storage
in
this
proposal
and
we
did
submit
everything
required
for
our
no
harm
letter
for
for
g-con.
AO
If
we
go
to
the
next,
please
just
to
go
over
the
floor
plans,
the
basement
will
remain
unfinished
just
for
storage
unit.
One
is
a
one
bedroom
614
square
feet
unit
two
is
a
one
bedroom
at
667
square
feet
and
then
the
third
and
the
fourth
floor
are
7,
54
and
627
respectively,
and
those
are
bi-level
units
that
would
have
that.
AO
Fourth
edition
fourth
floor
Edition
and
the
third
floor,
just
to
note
that
the
proposed
height
you
really
work
on
keeping
that
down
we're
only
adding
three
feet:
ten
inches
total
to
the
existing
structure
of
the
building,
just
to
go
over
the
violations
that
were
mentioned.
We
are
seeking
a
variance
for
four
unit,
because
this
is
a
3F
District.
AO
AO
It's
existing
at
eight
foot,
four
that
does
require
variance,
but
we're
not
going
out
any
farther
than
the
existing
debts
and
in
the
rare
we
match
the
building
back
of
us
Madam
Ambassador.
If
you
could
switch
to
the
plans
just
so,
the
board
could
just
see
those
the
existing
floor
plans
and
if
we
go
to
the
next
use
slides.
AO
B
Thank
you
Mr
Gringo,
so
just
to
confirm
there
is
no
no
living
space
in
the
basement.

said,
storage

correct,
okay,
any
questions
from
the
board.
AP
Yes,
Madam

At
this
time,
the

any
concerns
at
this
time.

Thank
you.
If
Mr

it

that
abroad
to
ask
for
the
recommendations
and
can
be
a
recommendation.
Yes,.
Z
Thank
you,
madam
Chairman's
board
Miss,
better
perraza.
We
recommended
to
now
without
prejudice
because
of
the
living
space
in
the
basement,
because
it's
in
the
coastal
flood,
but
we
appreciate
the
appellants
removing
that
and
if
the
board
does
seem
fit
to
improve
this,
we
just
asked
for
design.
L
C

C
AL
Good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Richard
Linz,
with
a
business
address
of
245
Sumner
Street
East
Boston
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
with
me,
also
is
Chris
Drew
from
686
Architects.
We
can
probably
jump
right
down
to
slide
eight,
which
is
the
street
view
of
the
property.
We're
going
to
give
my
whole
review
as
a
preliminary
matter
of
fact,
Sierra,
although
not
cited
in
the
public
notice,
I,
do
know,
I
think
it's
important
for
the
record
that
the
plans
examiner
had
cited
in
his
notes.
AL
Two
matters
first,
is
the
neighborhood
design
overlay
District,
which
we
acknowledge
that
this
property
is
located
in.
However,
it
does
indicate
that
design
review
is
necessary
because
of
the
ndod
subdist
or
overly
District.
We
aren't
making
any
changes
that
would
fall
into
the
jurisdiction
of
the
ndod
and
therefore
we'd,
just
like
it
to
be
clear
on
the
record
that
this
would
not
be
subject
to
an
DOD
process
and
it
did
Edition.
We
also
note
that
the
examiner
cited.
AB
AL
Flood
resiliency
overlay
district
and
that
conservation
would
be
required
for
this
project.
Just
against
the
board's
clarification
for
the
record.
The
coastal
flood
resiliency
overly
District,
although
is,
is
jurisdictional
in
this
neighborhood.
The
project
size
does
not
fall
within
the
threshold
of
the
cfrod
and
therefore
again,
as
it's
noted
in
the
refusal
letter,
I
just
wanted
to
be
clearing
the
record
that
we
would
not
be
subject
to
Coastal
flood
resiliency
guidelines
for
this
project,
as
it
doesn't
meet
the
the
threshold
for
that
review.
AL
With
that
said,
manage
here,
this
is
a
pre-existing
legally
pre-existing
non-conforming
structure.
It's
currently
legal
occupancy
is
six
units,
however,
historically
it
has
been
used
and
occupied
as
a
byputed
dwelling
which
isn't
allowed
use.
So
it's
not
necessarily
material,
however,
because
we
are
proposing
a
renovation,
our
building,
including
capturing
some
space
off
of
the
rear,
decks
to
incorporate
this
habitable
living
space.
We
do
trigger
the
far
violation
under
article
53,
section
9
of
the
code.
If
we
can
jump
down
to
slide
13,
that
will
give
us
a
little
bit
better
overview
here.
AL
AL
Is
permitted
because
we'll
be
increasing
the
far
based
upon
the
space
that
we'd
be
capturing
towards
the
rear?
We
require
one
variance
essentially
for
this
project
and
as
the
far
variants
to
increase
it
to
the
proposed
proposed
limit
if
we
can
scroll
down
to
slide
18.
These
are
existing
conditions
that
we
can
just
move
on
to
18
to
show
the
proposed
conditions.
AL
So
again,
even
though
we
are
located
in
the
coastal
flood
resiliency
overlay,
we
are
not
proposing
any
work
in
the
lower
level.
We
do
propose
to
modify
obviously
the
program
on
the
first
level
and
that
would
be
a
three
bedroom
and
about
1200
square
feet
again.
These
are
all
generally
existing
conditions.
Currently,
the
only
changes
would
be
renovation
and
reprogramming
units,
including
upgrades
to
Life
Safety
next
slide,
please.
AL
So
we
show
the
second
and
third
levels
here,
where
we
have
two
smaller
units
located
to
the
front
of
the
building,
again
pre-existing
conditions
with
just
some
slight
changes
in
the
program
of
the
building
and
the
layout.
The
two
units
to
the
rear
units.
Three
and
five
are
two
bedroom
units
about
827
square
feet.
Each
we
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
we
do
propose
some
changes
to
the
side
of
the
building.
There
are
some
windows
that
will
be
closed
up
in
connection
with
the
reconfiguration
layout.
AL
But
again
we
don't
believe
that
that
triggers
any
of
the
neighborhood
design
overlay
issues
that
would
normally
be
reviewed
out
of
the
ndod
guidelines.
Next
slide,
please
just
showing
again
the
left
side
of
the
building,
as
well
as
the
rear,
and
these
are
the
proposed
conditions
showing
the
closing
up
of
several
openings
on
the
side
of
the
building.

you

upon
anyone
with
the

office
of
Neighborhood

this
town

like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
that's
born
OS
to
the

meeting
on
December

2022.
There
were
no

applicant
went
out
to
meet
with
the
go
Street
citizens,
Association
and
November
of

in
January
of
this
year.
The
association
unanimously
agreed
to
support
the
projects.
Residents
were
reportedly
very
pleased
with
the
design.
With
that
we'll
defer
to
the
board.
Thank.

AL
Than
the
closing
some
windows
so
I'm
not

agrees.

Are
we
going
back

case

then
also
we've
taken
withdrawals
for
the
deferrals
I'm,
sorry
for
11

just
the.
B
So,
do
you
want
to
finish
if
there
are
any
other
deferrals
for
11

then
and
if
Mayhem
came
back,
that.
AS
Yes,
please
Madam,
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Timothy
Burke
I'm,
the
architect
for
the
project
at
six
Greenwich
court
and
we
are
requesting
a
deferral.
The
ISD
has
identified
a
citation
for
groundwater
for
the
g-cod
that
wasn't
in
the
original
refusal
letter,
so
we
have
to
re-advertise
for
that.
C
Yes,
I
think
I
need
to
read
the
cases
into
records.
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
that's!
Okay,
that's!
Okay!
This
motion
is
is
for
case
boa
one.
Four,
three,
six,
seven
one:
three:
with
the
address
being
six
Greenwich
Court.
B
Okay,
great
so
we're
in
it
we're.
So
we
had
a
motion
in
a
second
and
I'm
I'm
voting
Mr
Stembridge,
yes,
Mr
Shepard,
yes,
Mr
Valencia!
Yes,
yes,.
C
It's
not
thank
you
for
the
reminders,
folks
that
we
need
to
go
back
to
9,
30
time
frame
and
ask
if
you're
any
representative
present
for
46th
of
May
industry.
B
Okay,
can
you
identify
yourself
your
address
and
walk
us
through
the
proposal.
AT
Yes,
yes,
hello.
Yes,
we
can
hear
you,
sir.
Yes,
my
name
is
I'm
the
contractor
and
the
proposal
is
extend
the
basement
through
living
room,
because
the
family
have
two
people:
four
and
a
family,
a
mother,
father
and
two
teenagers,
and
the
space
is
too
short
and
in
what
happened,
replace
the
case
step
case,
the
new
one
bathroom
offs,
because
the
father
who
worked
in
a
home,
okay,
office,
space,
liver
living
room,
space
and
Gene,
and
they
want
to
extend
for
four
rooms.
AP
AP
I
won't
testify
I,
don't
believe
we're
aware
of
any
concerns
at
this
time
mayor's
office
like
to
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
with
that.
May
I
have
a
question.
AU
AP
I
would
like
to
add
that
the
civic
association
did
vote
to
support
this
project
from
what
I
understand
I
believe
he
forwarded
a
letter
from
them,
so
it
should
be
on
file.
One
of
our
butter
was
in
attendance
at
the
abutters
meeting
and
vocalized
their
support
for
the
proposal.
Thank
you.
Thank.

with
that,
may
we
may
I
have
a
motion.

please
Madam

thank
you
and
I
also
have
Dan
R
teaches
with
Embark
with
the
architects
who
you'll
hear
from
in
a
moment
again.
This
is
on
the
project
that
you're
looking
at
before.
You
did,
go
through
a
full
art
process
and
was
voted
approved
by
the
bpda
board.
AO
The
proposal
and,
as
you
can
see
in
this
picture
that
front
part
of
the
building,
that's
an
existing
structure.
The
Proposal
is
to
renovate
the
existing
two-story
structure
and
then
to
erect
a
rare
five-story
addition
on
the
back
of
the
building,
which
would
be
connected
and
with
a
total
of
39
residential
units
and
17
interior
area
parking
spaces.
In
the
back
section.
The
particular
lot
size
is
21
521
square
feet.
When
combined.
When
you
look
at
this,
you
can
see
we
had.
This
was
our
most
updated
iteration.
AO
When
we
started
the
proposal,
we
had
a
much
different
project.
It
was
to
raise
the
structure
and
build
a
building
that
looked
much
different
as
we
as
you
may
know,
this
falls
in
the
Aberdeen
historic
district.
It
also,
oh
through
the
process,
was
recommended
to
keep
the
front
building
that
was
very
important
to
the
community,
so
this
is
where
we
came
up
with
the
design
to
keep
and
Rehab
the
front
part
of
this
structure
and
then
continue
on
with
the
residential
housing
in
the
rear
off
of
Comm
Ave.
AO
This
particular,
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
be-
and
this
is
just
looking
at
how
that's
connected
on
the
side
of
the
property.
A
next
slide.
Please
Jesse.
AO
As
you
can
see,
this
particular
building
falls.
An
area
of
con
Ave,
the
large
style
apartment
complex
behind
us
in
the
back,
as
well
as
directly
across
the
street.
Although
this
does
fall
in
a
3F
District,
it
touches
upon
both
Light
commercial
as
well
as
multi-family
residential
on
either
side.
AO
We
are
at
an
18
affordability
rate
for
the
project,
and
that
includes
seven
EP
units,
with
a
mix
of
five
of
them
being
at
70
percent,
Ami
and
2
and
2
being
at
100
Ami.
If
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
this
just
shows
you
the
highlighted
area
of
the
parcels.
When
combined
as
you
can
see,
it's
it's
a
pretty
steep
topography
as
you
go
back,
but
you
start
to
see
the
landscape
surrounding
us
and
the
other
sort
of
large
structures
across
the
street
and
in
the
rare
to
the
side.

Next
slide,
please
and

just
put
together
here
just
a
heightened
context,
so
you
can
see
sort
of

Just
in
this
general
area
up
and
down
Commonwealth
Ave
next

please
we
also
just
to
point
out
where
I
turn
it
over
to

a
mix

stock.

We've
got

just
a

something
on

is
the
importance
of
providing
both

as
Jeff
had
mentioned.
This
is
a

grade
change
from
Com

last

B
Thank
you
just
a
couple
of
things
that
came
up
in
the
written
comment
that
I
observed.
If
you
could
speak
to
landscaping
and
trees,
what's
existing,
what
are
you
proposing,
as
well
as
some
noise
from
the
deck?
Obviously,
it's
a
large
common
roof
deck
that
can
accommodate
a
lot
of
people.
How
you
address
those
items.
AU
Yeah,
so
in
terms
of
the
landscape,
we've
engaged
a
landscape
architect,
as
I
mentioned,
we
we've
taken
a
comprehensive
survey
of
the
existing
plantings
on
site
to
maintain
the
mature
trees
on
the
site.
We've
also
through
our
landscape.
Architect
have
identified
numerous
invasive
species
on
the
site,
because
over
time
the
site
has
been
overgrown
and
not
well
maintained.
AU
So
as
part
of
the
project
we'll
be
removing
the
invasive
species
that
are
existing
on
the
site
and
replanting
trees
that
are
are
common
to
the
area,
and
that
goes
in
hand
in
hand
with
our
comprehensive
landscape
plan
that
we
have
not
only
for
the
landscape
along
Commonwealth
app,
but
also
on
both
the
vehicular
access
to
the
south
of
this
page,
as
well
as
the
20-foot
setback
that
we're
maintaining
along
the
north
side
of
the
page
and
then
in
terms
of
the
common
roof
deck
and
the
noise
we
try
to
with
the
massing
of
the
building
block
it
off
from
our
residential
Rudders,
utilizing
the
the
the
access
from
the
stair
in
the
elevator
as
well
as
will
be
minimizing
the
occupants
on
the
roof.

Thank
you,
madam
chair
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Quinn
valcich
and
I'm.
The
project
manager
at
the
BPA.
This
project
completed
the
articulator
review
process,
including
two
BPA
sponsored
public
meetings
and
was
approved
for
the
BPA
board
on
June
16
2022.,
the
project
team
went
through
Great
Lengths
in
working
with
the
BBA
design
staff
to
appropriately
restore
and
incorporate
the
existing
historic
building
on
the
parcel.
S
The
proponents
have
also
committed
to
Transportation
demand
management
measures,
including
blue
bike,
memberships
and
one
month
of
free
mbga
classes
for
new
residents.
The
bpda
staff
found
that
this
project
is
consistent
with
the
city's
goals
and
the
project
is
the
full
support
of
the
agency
and
its
board.
Thank
you.
E
I'm
sure
I
have
a
question
for
Mr
Trego.
Yes,
sir,
do
you
have
seven
affordable
units
that
is
18
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that.
E
AO
I
think
well,
as
we
kind
of
went
through
the
pro
that's
a
great
question:
Mr
Valencia,
we
just
went
through
this
process.
We
were
committing
to
a
lot
of
different
areas
to
mobility
and
transportation
upgrades
to
the
blue
bike
station.
So
there
were
a
number
of
areas
we
had
to
contribute
and
being
at
well
over
that
13
being
at
18
alone.
AO
We
felt
that
was
a
reasonable
ask
from
the
community,
and
we've
worked
that
through
not
only
the
community
members
but
also
councilor
Brady,
to
come
up
with
to
come
up
with
this
number.
E
B
AV
Yes,
good
morning,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Frank
Mendoza
here
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
Austin,
Brighton
Lee,
so
I'm
we'd
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
the
board
in
this
matter,
but
can't
justify
that
the
applicant
last
one
to
the
brightness
Improvement
Association
on
August
of
2022
I,
believe
John
live
from
the
Brighton
Austin
Improvement
Association
is
on
to
testify
this
morning
and
confusion.
AV
It
seems
as
to
whether
or
not
there
was
a
final
vote
at
the
Paia
and
what
the
outcome
of
that
vote
was
if
any
again
at
this
time
would
like
to
defer
to
Judgment
of
report.
Thank
you.
O
N
Yeah
Mario
Pinto
of
50
Anglewood
Avenue
I'm
in
favor
of
this
project.
Okay,.
AW
Hi,
this
is
Debbie
O'rourke
I
own,
the
1781
Commonwealth
app.
If
you
look
at
the
photos,
I'm
the
yellow
house
I
oppose
this
project,
the
severe
amount
of
ledge
that
will
structurally
damage
my
property.
The
deck
is
overlooking
my
property
as
well
as
the
deck
was
an
add-on.
It
was
never
brought
to
Brighton
and
also
Improvement,
and
it
was
never
approved
at
Boston
Austin,
Improvement
Facebook.
AW
AX
AX
A
respectful
project
and
respectfully
I
have
to
disagree
with
that
at
the
Brighton
Olson
Improvement
Association
meeting,
which
I
believe
was
held
on
September
1
2022
I
stood
up
and
I
made
my
presentation
indicating
that
I
oppose
the
project
spoke
to
the
attorney
for
the
developer
and
I'm.
A
lawyer
with
Boston
I'm
easily
found
I
gave
him.
My
business
card
I
asked
that
they
reach
out
to
me
I.
Ask
that
they
reach
out
to
the
other
voters
to
discuss
this
project
and
they
never
did
never
got
an
email,
never
got
a
phone
call
I.
AX
Think
what's
Happening
Here
is
the
developers
trying
to
jam
the
largest
project
they
possibly
can
onto
this
lot
and
in
fact,
this
outdoor
deck,
this
49
person
deck,
is
an
add-on
that
we
had
not
seen
before.
I.
Just
think
that
this
developer
doesn't
care
about
the
butters
or
the
neighborhood
they're,
trying
to
put
the
biggest
project
they
can
and
I
would
like
to
see
them
come
back
to
the
drawing
board
and
actually
engage
with
the
abutters
before
the
moves
this
project.
Thank
you.
O
O
All
right
I'll
try
a
meal
again
again,
if
you
guys
can
briefly
tell
us
if
you're
in
support
of
opposition
for
the
project.
U
AW
AW
Yes,
so
I
I'm
in
opposition
of
this
and
I
did
submit
a
written
statement
as
well
as
what
Miss
O'rourke
the
owner
of
1781.
We've
made
efforts
to
speak
with
the
developer
and
have
not
had
any
response
back.
My
concern
is
that
just
building
they're
calling
it
five
stories
and
it
is
not
five
stories.
They
themselves
admitted
that
it's
25
feet,
Memphis
Commack,
so
you're
really
talking
about
eight
stories,
because
it's
five
stories
plus
an
additional
story:
they're,
not
counting
they're.
AW
Looking
to
put
this
building,
that's
seven
to
eight
stories
right
in
front
of
my
two
family,
which
is
going
to
severely
restrict
the
lighting
the
views
they're,
putting
this
roof
deck
again,
which
has
been
just
slid
through,
and
this
latest
hearing
without
previous
discussion,
where
the
management
is
going
to
be
off-site
when
they're
talking
about
limiting
the
occupancy
in
the
hours
who's
going
to
do
that
nobody's
going
to
be
on
site
to
enforce
any
of
this
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
parking
I
have
eight
bedrooms
and
I
have
six
parking
spaces.
AW
O
AZ
U
I
I'd
just
like
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
baia
environment.
They
were
supposed
to
come
back
to
us
again
with
changes
and
everything,
and
they
never
did
so.
We
can't
approve
that
we
could
not
approve
this.
Thank
you.
Thank.
O
B
B
D
O
S
Yeah,
my
name
is
Andrew
Brian,
180,
Daniel,
Street
and
I
work
in
Cleveland,
Circle
area
I
support
this
project,
but
it'll
bring
needed
housing,
affordable,
housing
to
the
area.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
okay.
Thank
you
awesome.
Thank
you,
we'll
be
with
the
applicant
like
to
address
some
of
the
comments
that
have
been
made.
Yes,.
AO
So
I
can
address
that
as
well,
first,
just
from
what
what
we've
gone
through
as
on
behalf
of
the
developers.
So,
as
was
mentioned,
we
had
two
public
meetings
with
the
bpda
full
comment
period
and
then
multiple
meetings
at
the
Bai,
as
we've
worked
with
the
Bai
and
just
to
point
out,
the
deck
was
always
on
there.
We
didn't
change
any
plans
or
change
anything
at
the
last
minute,
as
we
heard
from
Neighbors,
we
actually
modified
the
project,
pulling
it
away
from
our
direct
debutter,
which
Dan
showed
and
his
plans.
AO
Just
nine
and
a
half
feet
just
pulled
a
project
in
the
back
away
from
our
neighbor
and
worked
out
agreements
with
our
commercial
neighbor.
On
the
left-hand
side,
my
client
does
have
records
he's
reached
out
to
multiple
of
Butters
over
a
period
of
eight
or
nine
times,
and
we
continually
heard
we'll
let
you
know
when
we're
going
to
be
or
when
we
want
to
meet.
It
just
seems
to
be
resistance.
AO
Every
time
we
tried
to
reach
out
to
come
to
a
compromise
on
anything,
we
are
willing
and
still
willing
to
sit
down,
but
again,
as
I
had
said,
eight
or
nine
times,
and
we
have
records
of
it,
we've
been
reaching
out
two
neighbors
and
got
response
that
they
would
let
us
know
when
they
were
ready
to
meet.
We
took
that
as
they
just
you
know,
nothing
was
going
to
be
able
to
be
done
to
sort
of
win
them
over.
They
were
just
opposed
to
the
project.
We'd
be
happy
to
continue
to
meet
with
them.
AO
We
also,
as
we
were
meeting
with
folks,
committed
to
a
full
construction
management
plan
so
that
we
would
meet
with
folks
during
and
during
the
before
the
construction
process,
but
also
during
so
if
there
was
any
disruption
we
could
work
with
them
directly.
Just
to
address
the
issue
of
parking.
I
know
it's
come
up,
but
you
know
we're
following
the
guidelines
of
the
Austin
bright,
Mobility
study
and
also
being
near
they're
so
close
to
Chiswick
station.
AO
You
know
it
would
call
For
Less
on
parking
and
and
again
we
will
continue
to
work
with
anyone
on
our
management
of
the
project.
If
this
was
to
be
approved
in
our
discussions
with
the
AIA,
we
were
asked
to
just
continue
to
work
with
Butters,
because
it
seemed
that
there
were
a
few
neighbors
that
we
really
no
matter
how
many
times
we
had
this
meeting,
they
weren't
they
were
concerned
about
having
to
meet
in
that
kind
of
a
setting.
They
would
rather
meet
one-on-one,
which
we
are
actively
continue
to
try
to
do
so.
B
Thank
you
is
the
bpad
project
manager
still
on.
S
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
guess
just
first
before
I
forget
yeah
I
would
just
Echo
attorney
Drago's
comment
that
the
roof
deck
on
the
fifth
floor
was
something
that
was
there
throughout
our
review
process
and
in
those
public
meetings
as
to
that
public
process.
Yes,
as
I
said
before,
we
did
have
two
public
meetings.
S
S
S
You
know
that
votes
a
snapshot
in
time.
We
would
always
encourage
proponents
to
do
what
this
proponent's
done
and
continue
to
engage
with
their
direct
Butters.
If
there
are
any
other
minor
tweaks
to
the
project,
they
could
make.
That
might
you
know
lessen
the
impacts
on
those
letters,
but
we
were
satisfied
with
where
the
project
was
in
the
community.
At
the
time
of
our
vote.
B
B
B
BA
C
So
at
this
point,
Jump
Ahead
discussion
through
schedule
for
11
3rd
and
ask
if
there
are
any
requests,
withdrawal
and
support
referral
that
time.
C
75
payments,
correct
yeah:
how
far
do
you
think
you
will
need
if
you
have
the
time
frame
in
hand
and
find
that
you
like
to
ask
for.
B
Okay
with
that
may
I
have
a
motion.
C
Would
you
could
you
tell
us
why
you
made
this
book?
Oh
sorry,.
BB
Sir
referral
is
necessary
because
we're
only
asking
to
the
board
after
the
concern
that
you
brought
to
the
attention
they're
requesting
I'm,
taking
some
subdivided
land
from
a
property
that
I
own
directly
behind
for
the
added
parking
space
and
I
had
to
add
some
things
to
the
application.
Z
AB
O
B
B
C
BC
Asking
sure
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Kyle
Smith
of
statero
law,
with
a
business
address
of
359
Newbury
Street
in
Boston,
spec
Bay.
BC
The
applicant
is
proposing
to
expand
slightly
the
existing
footprint
of
an
existing
structure
located
on
High
Park
Avenue,
roughly
about
three
quarters
of
a
mile
away
from
downtown
Boston
up
Hyde
Park
Avenue
in
Jamaica
Plain,
and
to
expand
the
existing
use
of
the
first
floor
as
a
market
which
has
been
in
current
use
for
about
18
to
20
or
so
years
by
the
current
owner
and
proponent,
who
was
on
the
call
with
us,
as
well
as
his
GC,
and
then
to
basically
build
the
three
stories
of
residential
housing
above
it
with
mirrored
footprints
on
Floors,
two
three
and
four
one
unit
facing
front
Hyde,
Park,
Avenue,
being
a
two
bed,
one
bath
of
approximately
800
square
feet
and
then
the
rear
units
being
approximately
130
square
feet
again,
two
bed,
one
bath.
BC
BC
Our
butter
to
our
immediate
right
is
a
four-story
residential
structure.
We
have
a
four-story
resident
structure
immediately
across
the
street
from
us
as
well,
so
what
we're
proposing
kind
of
already
has
existing
presence
in
the
community
in
the
fabric
of
the
community.
We
have
a
proposed
extension
of
a
zero
setback
for
both
left
and
front
and
rear
of
the
structure,
and
what
you're
looking
at
is
some
of
the
pre-existing
structures
in
in
the
community
near
us
as
existence
for
what
presently
is
in
place.
BC
I
think
there's
a
with
five
Street
off
park
off
street
parking
spaces.
There
was
currently
on
stream
parking.
It's
not
really
memorialized
on
the
site
plan.
So
now
we're
looking
to
merely
memorialize
it.
So
there's
a
proposal
for
five
all
three
parking
spaces
per
proposed
six
residential
units
and
again
we
lie
on
Hyde
Park
Avenue.
There
was
a
bus
stop
in
our
immediate
vicinity,
several
bus
lines
which
I
used
to
travel
personally,
given
my
location
of
my
former
residence
in
a
very
close
proximity
to
the
Forest
Hills
train
station.
BC
Yep
sorry
I
didn't
get
there
on
the
slide
up
is
the
existing
footprint
you
can
see.
The
structure
to
our
immediate
right
has
a
slightly
expanded
and
deeper
footprint.
The
structure
drawer
right
has
a
deeper
than
footprint,
we're
looking
to
bring
our
footprint
into
line
with
the
structure
to
our
left.
AA
Yes,
I
Madam
chair
members
of
the
boardwalking
Eco
change
visitation
Department
I'd
like
to
recommend
the
member
of
space
to
be
reduced
from
five
to
four
spaces
in
order
to
improve
ability,
because
the
way
that
design
is
right
now
would
be
kind
of
difficult
for
maneuverability
for
five
spaces.
So
I'd
like
to
request
that
this
number
spaces
be
reduced
from
five
to
four.
Thank
you.
AA
AP
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Connor
Newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
At
this
time,
our
office
like
to
defer
to
the
Judgment
of
this
board
some
background
information,
the
community
process,
our
office
hosting
the
Butter's
meeting
on
April
4th
the
applicant
that
went
on
to
be
with
the
jpnc
zoning
committee
and
we're
aware
that
they
were
approved
by
the
zoning
committee,
we're
unaware
of
any
concerns
at
this
time
that
will
defer
to
the
board.
Thank
you.
B
In
a
chair,
thank
you,
Mr
Smith,
any
issues
with
that
parking
recommendation.
BC
We
did
not,
in
the
community
process,
hear
any
complaints
about
the
lack
of
parking,
so
I.
Don't
think
that
it
would
be
problematic.
The
depth
of
Space
is
really
what
would
change
so
I
would
say
for
five
spaces
for
six
units
for
family
design
units
is
probably
ideal,
but
if
the
approval
of
the
board
is
contingent
upon,
you
know
having
the
buy-in
of
the
bpda
and
its
recommendation
that
I
think
that
would
be
acceptable
to
the
opponent,
but
I
don't
think
it
is
ideal.
Given
the
intended
use.
W
BC
W
You
going
to
finding
a
way
to
the
existing
tenant.
BC
Yes,
Ma'am,
why
was
actually
on
site
today
at
a
project?
I
helped
the
climate
obtains
only
relief
for
for
which
the
GC
of
this
project
is
the
GC
of
that
project.
They've
only
had
about
10
business
days
of
downtime
throughout
that
entire
construction
process.
So
it's
my
understanding
that
we
don't
tending
to
displace
that
attendant
okay
in
operation
for
a
period
of
time,
right.
W

Four

you,

I
represent

together
in
City

proponents
of
this
project.
The
proposed
project
consists
of
a
new
74-key
hotel
on
a
site
comprising
approximately
8
202
square
feet
at
the
intersection
of
Cipher

and
C

in
South
Boston,
where
site
is
currently
occupied
by
a
vacant
single

block
building
which
formerly
housed
a
Repair
Garage.

This
is
an
article

small
project,
which
was
approved
by
the
vpda
on
April
13th
of
this
year.
After
a
13-month
public
review
process,
architectural

are
being
provided
by

and
the
Harry

I
will
be
turning
the
presentation
over
to

and
the
seaport
District,
which
Drive
the
need
for
additional
Hotel
space,
including
on
one
with
on-premises
dining,
as
this
hotel
would
have
adequate
and
appropriate
facilities
were
provided
for
the
operation
of
the
uses
with
no
adverse
effect
hazards
or
nuisances
opposed
to
the
neighborhood
variance
is
required
for
insufficient
side
and
rear
yard
setback
distances.
But
these
setbacks
are
reasonable
in
light
of
the
proposed
use
surrounding
current
and
future
uses
and
the
character
of
the
immediately
surrounding
area.
BA
Similarly,
to
propose
height
of
the
building
at
six
stories
and
just
under
67
feet
requires
relief,
but
is
not
inconsistent
with
projected
Heights
in
the
district,
including
with
the
approved
life
science
building
located,
which
will
be
located
directly
adjacent
to
202
West,
First
Street,
the
height
of
which
is
being
matched
but
not
exceeded.
On
this
parcel.
Finally,
relief
is
required
for
institute
off
street
parking
and
loading.
BA
That
is
a
summary
of
the
zoning
relief
being
requested
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Harry
wheeler.
To
present
the
architectural
drawings
I'm
also
pleased
to
note
that
this
will
be
a
100
Union
built
and
Union
staffed
Hotel.
Unless
there
are
any
questions
on
any
zoning
items
that
I
just
went
over
I
propose
to
turn
the
presentation
over
to
Harry
wheeler
of
group.
One.
B
Okay,
it's
hear
from
your
architect.
BA
Yes,
I,
sorry
Jeremy,
how
are
you
going
to
be?
Yes,
we
can.
Y
Hear
you
Aaron,
hey
thanks.
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Harry
wheeler
principal
of
group.
One
Partners
quickly
run
through
the
design,
presentation
and
plans
that
are
representative
with
George
to
subscribe
from
zoning
on
this
slide.
Y
So,
as
you'll
see,
we
have
some
openings
and
fenestrations
turning
the
corner
as
we
are
able
to
access
and
and
show
our
building
opening
to
that
side.
Parcel
this
in
this
slide
just
clearly
depicts,
as
George
mentioned
our
height
just
below
70
feet.
Sorry
67
feet
which
matches
the
adjacent
life
science
parcel
the
main
facade,
which
is
the
breakfast
side,
steps
down
below
that
somewhat
and
the
height
that
matches
the
adjacent
process
is
our
mechanical
screen,
which
is
set
back
from
the
C
Street
side.
Y
In
addition,
you
can
see
a
small
roof
Terrace
on
the
corner
of
C
Street
and
Cypress
Street,
which
is
for
guests
only.
This
is
a
400
square
feet,
Step,
Up
Terrace.
This
is
not
a
public
roof
deck
of
any
way.
It's
just
a
courtesy
of
the
hotel
guests
to
be
able
to
get
outside
from
the
rooftop
and
look
over
towards
the
convention
center.
Y
This
rendering
also
shows
on
the
ground
level,
our
blue
bike
zone,
and
you
can
clearly
see
the
property
line
which
our
building
is
set
back
and
aligns
with
the
approved
life
science
building
to
to
the
left,
and
also
has
a
further
setback
at
the
ground
floor
of
an
additional
five
more
feet
to
provide
an
enhanced
pedestrian
realm
next
slide.
Please
and
we'll
go
through
the
details
of
those
slides.
We
can
probably
scroll
through
these
pretty
quickly.
Y
This
is
the
the
site
itself,
which
is
that
rectangle,
that's
shown
the
hashed
area
is
the
existing
industrial
use,
that's
on
the
site
next
slide.
This
is
our
site.
With
the
building
footprint
laid
on
it,
you
can
see
you
were
set
back
from
the
property
line
on
C
Street
and
we
are
set
back
from
our
adjacent
property
line
on
the
western
edge,
which
is
that
life
science
building.
Y
This
will
be
an
access
point
on
the
ground
floor
for
us
to
get
to
our
loading
deliveries
and
also
our
Transformer,
which
would
be
set
back
further
off
the
site.
Next
slide.
Please,
we
do
have
a
basement
level.
The
basement
level
will
house
non-critical
equipment
such
as
employee
lounge,
bike
storage,
Hotel
storage,
restaurant
storage
and
our
in-house
laundry
next
slide.
Y
The
ground
floor
used
has
our
hotel
lobby
right
off
of
C
Street.
You
can
also
see
here,
as
George
mentioned,
the
short-term
loading
unloading
Zone,
which
will
be
for
three
vehicles
for
drop
off
and
pickup
as
well
as
this
would
be
on
a
loading
zone
for
deliveries
which
will
then
be
taken
down
that
left-handed
Edge
down
to
our
trash
and
receiving
Zone.
Y
Y
You
can
even
go
to
the
the
next
one
after
this.
This
is
just
a
typical
floor
plan
showing
the
hotel.
We
have
72
hotel
rooms
facing
C
Street
in
Cypress
Street.
We
are
pulling
our
guest
rooms
back
from
Cypress
Street,
giving
a
little
bit
of
a
green
space
and
again
tearing
down
towards
the
future
improvements
on
Cypher
Street
and
then
the
rest
is
our
core
for
our
elevators
and
stairwells
next
slide.
Please.
Y
Y
Y
We
are
utilizing
the
masonry
facade
along
outside
the
street
Edge,
where
the
restaurant
is
next
slide,
which
would
be
our
other
two
adjacent
property
elevations
which
have
party
wall
facades.
So
these
will
be
on
the
left
hand,
side.
The
Northwest
elevation
will
be
a
flooding,
an
existing
structure
and,
on
the
right
hand,
side
the
Southwest
facade.
This
will
be
a
budding.
The
future
lab
building
a
life
science
building
that
was
proposed,
and
here
you
can
see
our
call
native
columns,
which
will
house
our
access
back
to
our
loading,
Lobby
and
receiving
area
next
slide.
Y
I
think
that
might
be
the
end
of
our.
We
have
a
building
section,
showing
the
height
again
matching
our
adjacent
property
at
60,
not
just
under
67
feet,
66
foot,
eight
actually-
and
you
do
show
in
the
partial
basement
so
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
the
project
and
George
is
still
on
board
to
answer
any
questions
about
the
zoning
release.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
B
Thank
you
is
someone
from
bpd8
on.
BD
I
Yes,
Stephen
sharer,
my
question
would
be
I
know
it's
an
industrial
area.
Well,
what's
your
time
like
for
construction,
and
my
second
question
was
I-
think
I
heard
this,
but
I'm
not
sure
what
lives
construction
be
the
GC
for
the
product.
BA
Sorry
about
that
George
morency,
yes
rise
would
be
the
the
GC
for
the
project
that
they
are
in
conjunction
with
City
Realty,
the
developers
of
the
project
they
would
be
the
bill.
The
builders
in
terms
of
construction
timeline
I
believe
that
what
we're
looking
at
is
a
holy
first
quarter,
or
maybe
a
fourth
quarter,
2020
four
stars
and
then
maybe
just
under
two
years,
I
think
for
construction
cycle.
At
the
time
we
submitted
the
small
party
review
application.
BA
We
were
a
bit
ambitious
about
the
schedule
and
we
were
hoping
for
a
fourth
quarter,
20
22
Stars.
So
it
looks
like
that
that
may
be
pushed
off
by
about
a
year
and
then
again,
looking
at
maybe
seven
to
eight
quarters
in
terms
of
the
construction
cycle.
I
B
You
thank
you
and
I
I.
Think
I
read
a
comment
about
Trees
and
Landscaping.
Can
you
speak
to
that?
A
bit
I
see
like
two
trees
up
on
top
of
any
of
that
street
level.
Sure.
Y
It's
whoever's
controlled,
wouldn't
mind
going
down
to
the
first,
the
grand
or
first
floor
plan.
I
think
that's
backing
the
other
direction.
Yes
right
here.
So
we
are
improving
the
sidewalk
in
front
of
our
yep.
Oh
yeah.
We
are
improving
the
sidewalk
in
front
of
our
site
by
the
width
of
our
site.
Y
We
are
bumping
out
the
sidewalk
to
the
bottom
right
of
our
site,
which
would
be
the
cell
southwest
east
corner
of
our
site,
which
we
will
provide
the
blue
bike
location,
we're
providing
two
new
Street
trees,
which
will
be
in
the
sidewalk
in
that
planting
zone
and
allowing
for
a
Rousey
enough
space
for
pedestrian
Improvement.
The
landscape
plans
were
reviewed
during
our
article
80.
A
small
project
be
process
and
presented
to
the
community
and
I
believe
will
receive
both.
What
with
what
is
available
for
site
for
us
to
actually
improve.
BE
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
Anna
white,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
330
C
Street,
was
a
bpda
project.
They
held
a
robust
Community
process.
Ons
is
unaware
of
any
concerns
at
this
time
and
we'd
like
to
defer
judgment
to
the
board.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
V
Good
afternoon
from
Council
president
Link's
office,
they
counselor
would
like
to
go
on
recording
support.
This
developments
receive
Community
feedback
as
several
meetings
and
work
with
neighbors
to
improve
their
proposal
in
terms
of
their
rules
that
and
other
issues.
This
proposal
will
create
both
construction
and
hotel
jobs
and
we
hope,
bring
economic
activity
to
the
area.
V
This
change
will
address
concerns
from
The
Neighbors
in
Civic
group
about
traffic,
according
through
the
neighborhood
as
history,
which
will
force
cars
to
turn
right
or
left,
or
first
three,
when
coming
from
Cypress
tree.
The
development
team
has
expressed
support
for
this
proposal
of
several
neighborhood
meetings.
Council
president
Flynn,
who
thankfully
requests
that
the
team
continue
to
work
with
the
neighbors
and
quality
of
life
issues
and
encouraging
parking
and
neighboring
parking
lots
in
WTV
will
work
with
neighbors
on
President
parking
enforcement.
Thank
you.
AY
BA
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
is
George
Moore
AMC,
the
I
think
the
primary
focus
of
council
at
Planet
Hollywood's
testimony
I
think
was
that
C
Street
c
and
Cypress
Street
intersection.
That
was
a
major
part
of
our
conversations
during
the
long
Community
review
process.
I
think
we
have
hopefully
cautious
support
from
the
bpda
I
can't
speak
for
BTD
to
perhaps
change
the
the
the
operational
features
of
C
Street.
BA
We
intend
we
being
the
development
team
to
petition
the
city,
hopefully
support
the
elected
officials
to
change
these
streets
so
that
it
becomes
two-way
street,
at
least
between
Cypress
Street
and
West
First
Street
much
the
way
that
E
Street
is
so
that
vehicle
is
on
Cypress
Street
that
don't
have
to
Traverse
into
South
Boston
to
turn
around
and
get
back
to
the
hotel.
They
could
access
it
directly
from
C,
Street,
I'm,
sorry
from
Cypress
Creek
and
from
the
Hall
Road.
B
C
B
Mr
Shepard,
yes,
oh
Mr,
Valencia,
yes,
yes,
Miss,
Mr,
Langham,
yes,
chair
also
votes,
yes
motion
carries.
Thank
you
very
much.
S
BF
B
AB
BG
We
go
here.
We
are
thank
you,
madam
chair,
sorry,
for
that
delay
for
the
record
attorney
Joe
Hanley
with
chairman
quiltia
Miller,
28th
State
Street
in
Boston
here,
to
take
you
through
the
initial
part
of
this
presentation
and
then
have
Evan.
Take
you
through
the
plans
we
are
representing
the
owner
and
proponent
nine
Russell
Street
LLC,
the
team
on
the
next
slide.
BG
Elon
Sassoon,
who
was
the
principal
I,
introduced
you
to
myself
and
Evan
Stillman,
who
is
a
partner
with
kdi
architects
who
has
worked
on
the
plans
for
the
project
next
slide,
please
so
nine
Russell
Street
is
a
lot
of
approximately
3
523
square
feet.
It
is
on
the
Block
between
Sullivan
and
pearl
streets,
just
south
of
Bunker
Hill
Street
in
Charlestown.
BG
It
has
an
existing
single-family
structure
that
is
on
it
today,
which
was
approved
by
landmarks
for
demolition
back
on
October
21st
2022,
finding
that
it
had
no
historic
significance
next
slide,
please
so
just
to
take
you
for
a
walk
around
the
site,
you
can
see
the
existing
conditions
in
the
bottom
center
of
the
white
building
that
you'll
see
that's
the
existing
structure
that
has
been
approved
to
be
removed,
and
then,
in
the
middle
you
can
see
the
unique
aspects
of
the
property
site
in
the
cash
also
accessed
by
Avon
place,
which
is
a
Alleyway
that
runs
from
Sullivan
Street,
and
it's
also
relevant
in
the
photographs
that
you
see
here
the
neighbors
and
what
justifies
this
application
next
slide
please.
BG
So
what
we
are
proposing
is
a
use
compliant
tooth
family
to
residential
homeownership
units
with
two
parking
spaces
and
approximately
3
625
gross
square
feet.
All
of
those
as
you'll,
see
in
the
in
the
zoning
summary.
All
of
those
components
comply
with
the
allowable
use
in
this
three
app
Zone,
as
well
as
the
required
parking,
and
the
far
first
unit
would
be
1700
square
feet.
BG
BG
So
this
shows
you
the
zoning.
What
is
most
important
here
is
what
this
project
complies
with,
which
is
virtually
everything
again,
less
less
than
the
amount
of
allowed
units
to
in
a
three
family
Zone,
far
compliant
height,
compliant
compliant
with
all
of
the
setbacks.
We
do
need
relief,
which
is
de
minimis
or
1.5
feet
off
from
the
lot
Whip
and
from
the
lot
Frontage,
and
the
next
slide
will
show
you
how
that's
the
refusal
letter
go
to
the
next
slide.
BG
We
put
together
a
lot
with
comparison
for
the
block
again,
this
is
the
block
between
you
know
where
nine
Russell
is,
which
you'll
see,
obviously
in
the
dark,
pink
hash
there,
and
so
what's
important
here
to
note
what
the
relief
is.
We
received
a
recommendation
of
approval
with
design
review
by
the
bpda,
but
it
also
said
with
special
attention
to
retention
and
replacement
of
the
existing
trees
and
the
relationship
to
existing
structures.
BG
So
the
two
adjacent
structures,
the
two
adjacent
structures-
you'll
see
on
the
right
and
the
left-
also
have
similar
non-conformities
again.
The
requirement
for
the
lot
width
and
the
lot
Frontage
being
25
feet
or
at
23.50
is
an
existing
condition.
The
adjacent
property
is
24.50,
also
non-conforming
and
not
compliant,
and
the
adjacent
dropping
and
the
other
side
is
2462
again
slightly
under
what
is
required.
BG
So
we
would
suggest
that
consistent
with
the
bpda
recommendation
and
the
need
for
housing
and
consistent
with
the
purpose
of
3F
Zone,
we
are
in
context
and
consistent
with
those
adjacent
conditions.
You'll
see
that
that
non-conformity
is
also
prevalent
at
two
other
Lots
on
this
immediate
block
as
well.
So
it's
certainly
not
a
unique
condition
with
respect
to
a
deviation
next
slide,
please
so
I'd
like
to
hand
it
off
now
to
Evan
Stillman
to
take
you
through
more
of
the
details
on
the
project
itself.
Evan
thanks.
BF
Joe,
so
this
is
our
proposed
site
plan
on
this.
On
this
plan.
Russell
Street
is
at
the
bottom
and
Avon
place,
which
is
a
private
way,
is,
of
course,
the
title.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
a
pretty
expansive
site,
it
extends
to
the
back
from
Russell
Street
to
Avon
place,
and
then
it
extends
To,
the
Left
Behind,
the
adjacent
Parcels
on
Russell
Street.
BF
So
at
the
narrowest
point
our
lot
is
23.5
feet
at
the
widest
point
for
a
lot
of
64.19
feet
and
we
are
proposing
a
structure
highlighted
in
the
gray
region
that
goes
back
along
the
right
side
of
the
site
and
then
extends
to
the
left
where
the,
where
the
site
open
opens
up
behind
those
Parcels
on
Marshall.
Street
next
slide,
please.
BF
So
this
is
our
proposed
ground
floor
plan.
It
is
at
grade
on
Russell
Street.
So
at
the
bottom
of
the
page
we
have
a
garage
entry
for
two
parking
spaces,
one
per
unit,
and
we
also
have
the
entry
for
the
residents
to
enter
and
go
up
to
the
emits
from
the
garage.
Each
unit
has
an
entry
access
point
and
an
outdoor
space
at
grade
on
the
left
side
and
at
the
rear.
Next
like
this,
this
is
just
walking
you
through
the
upper
floors
of
the
units
on
this
level
unit.
BF
One
has
two
bedrooms:
the
kitchen
and
living
space,
a
unit
two
has
a
kitchen,
and
some
outdoor
space
and
I
just
like
to
highlight
that
the
two
trees
along
Avon
place
are
existing
to
remain
those
are
kind
of
sacred
to
the
Butters
and
they're
important
for
the
privacy
of
both
the
Butters
and
us
next
slide.
Please,
and
then
this
is
just
the
third
floor
in
the
roof
plan
again
unit
two
has
three
bedrooms:
two
bathrooms
and
a
deck
on
this
level
and
you
and
he
has
a
master,
a
master
bedroom
on
this
level.
BF
Next
slide,
please
so
moving
on
to
the
exterior
infrastructure,
we
want
to
be
to
design
something
that
really
fit
in
with
the
adjacent
structures
so
to
the
left
of
us.
We
have
a
typical
traditional,
three-story,
earlestown
building,
which
is
what
we
wanted
to
emulate
here.
You
see
the
top
right,
the
top
right
elevation,
it's
just
the
typical
three
detector,
two
over
one
Windows,
a
nice
cornice,
a
nice
garage
and
an
entry
point
on
this
on
this
facade.
Next
slide.
Please!
BF
This
upper
elevation
is
the
right
side
when
you're
facing
when
you're
facing
from
Russell
Street.
You
can
see
the
three
stories
at
the
front
on
Russell
Street
starts
to
read
as
two
stories
when
you
get
closer
to
Avon
place,
a
traditional
style
building
clad
with
cementitious
cladding
and
the
ground
floor
would
be
applied
with
a
PVC
board
and
Baton
around
the
garage.
BF
The
bottom
elevation
shows
the
left
side
kind
of
in
the
L
of
the
of
the
site
again
upper
two
floors
clouded
with
some
interest
Society
in
the
groundwork
lab
of
the
PVC
board
and
bat
next
slide.
Please,
and
then
this
is
the
elevation
from
Avon
Place.
Most
of
the
structures
on
Avon
place
are
one
and
a
half
stories
because
of
the
great
change.
BF
This
goes
read
as
a
two-story
structure
on
Avon
place
and
it's
just
the
traditional
cementitious
cladding
here
next
slightly,
and
these
are
just
some
3D
perspective-
use
the
the
top
left
perspective
shows
the
the
perspective
from
Russell
Street
and
then
the
bottom
two
perspectives
show
what
it
would
look
like
from
Avon
place
and
I.
Think
at
this
point
we
don't
have
anything
else
to
add
we'd
open
it
up
to
questions
from
the
board.
W
BF
W
BG
And
if
I
may,
to
one
of
the
virtues
of
but
it's
being
developed
here
is
the
existing
structure
was
non-conforming
with
respect
to
the
rear
setback.
BG
It's
basically
further
further
back
what
we're
doing
kind
of
respecting
the
zoning
code
of
the
20-foot
rear
yard
setback
is
alleviating
that
sort
of
condition
back
there
that
also
provides
for
more
circulation
for
ladder
hose
access
to
get
get
in
there
again,
not
being
it's
not
open
to
vehicular
travel,
but
the
impact
is
far
less
now.
As
a
result,.
W
Right,
but
in
your
in
the
original
proposal
there
is
there's
not
a
building
at
the
rear
of
an
existing
building
front
was
open
on
Russell.
BG
So
so
Russell
Street,
obviously
being
a
public
way
that
and
the
reason
you
know
complying
with
the
front
yard
setback
of
the
new
condition
as
well.
That's
where
that
wants
to
be
with
respect
to
fire
safety
right,
whereas
the
back
doesn't
go
as
far
back
and
also
that's
an
area
where
you
don't
have
particular
access
for
ladder,
so
the
latter
would
pull
up.
BG
You
know
onto
the
public
way
where
the
bulk
of
the
building
is,
but
then
it
would
also
have
access
by
foot
through
the
back
to
less
of
a
rear
yard,
intrusion,
I
guess
so.
Overall,
this
is
an
improved
condition
with
respect
to
fire
safety
and
compliance
with
the
zoning
code.
The
lot
Frontage
deviation
by
foot
and
a
half
has,
you
know,
really
no
relationship
to
fire
safety
whatsoever
as
we're
complying
with
both
the
side
yards
actually
I'm.
Sorry,
we're
exceeding
the
side,
yard
setback
requirements
on
both
sides
under
the
zoning
code.
Z
Yes,
Madam
chair,
we
requested
approval
with
design
review.
We
sorry
I,
don't
have
my
glasses
on.
We
wanted
to
retain
and
replace
the
existing
treats.
So
that
was
our
recommendation,
but
we're
on
on
record
for
approval
with
design
reading.
AA
The
only
thing
is,
the
rear
of
the
sidewalk
is
going
to
basically
accept
access
and
egress
to
the
garage
site
and
since
it
has
to
do
with
persons
with
disabilities,
I
would
like
to
request
that
an
audio
and
a
visual
alarm
be
placed
at
the
the
garage
door,
because
oh
okay,
I
thought
there
was
a
stepping
on
somebody,
because
the
rear
of
the
sidewalk
is
going
to
be
right
at
the
entrance
of
the
garage
and
they're
going
to
have
to
back
up.
AA
Well,
there
has
to
be
something:
that's
going
to
want
pedestrians,
that
there
is
an
oncoming
vehicle,
and
this
is
a
common
practice
when
you
have
at
the
garage
door
right
at
the
rear
of
the
sidewalk.
BG
AA
W
Of
this
luscious
green
diagram
in
the
rear,
but
in
reality
my
understanding
is
that
there's
patio
there's
in
there's
impervious
surface
covering
covering
that.
Can
you
please
clarify
Evan.
W
AC
W
So
basically,
your
open
space
has
been
reduced
to
potentially
20
10
of
the
site.
BF
Well,
we're
committed
to
Landscaping
the
the
the
unit
patio
areas
as
well.
We
can
you
can
do
that.
Okay,.
B
BF
On
this
land,
the
the
two
circles
up
towards
the
top
at
Avon
place
are
existing
trees.
BH
Yes,
Madam
Chairman's
of
the
book
with
Sean
green
with
the
mayor's
office,
Neighborhood
Services
and
a
Buddha's
meeting
was
held,
the
nine
Russell
Street
on
May
10th.
It
was
well
attended
and
the
applicants
were
able
to
answer
all
the
residents.
Questions
with
the
majority
of
the
residents
concerns
centered
around
the
size
and
scope
of
the
project.
Since
then,
this
office
has
received
no
letters
of
support
and
three
letters
in
opposition,
including
one
from
the
Charlestown
preservation
society
in
which
they
said.
The
proposed
building
would
be
too
close
to
surrounding
buildings.
AQ
BI
Thank
you,
I'm
sorry,
Ryan
Sutton,
five
Russell
Street
in
Charlestown,
Mass
I'm,
a
director
by
there
you
know
my
family
and
I
would
like
to
oppose
it.
You
know
we
had
some
concerns
coming
in,
but
even
as
we
heard
today,
more
concern
has
been
raised
specifically
around
fire
safety
and
the
garage
door
where
currently
it
doesn't
require
any
kind
of
an
alarm,
visual
or
audio.
BI
So
I
still
have.
Do
you
hear
me
or
not?
Yes,
I'm
sorry,
further
on
the
curb
cut
so
to
enlarge
the
parking,
it
would
take.
One
Supply
space
away
on
either
side
reduce
parking
on
the
street
by
twos,
and
it
should
be
noted
the
buildings
that
were
previously
on
Avon
Place,
both
burned
down
in
a
fire
years
ago,
which
is
how
the
previous
owner
acquired
the
property.
So
the
fire
concerns
of
reducing
the
setback
next
to
buildings
on
Avon
place
in
Boston
streets
of
absolute
concern
as
well.
BI
AG
AB
BJ
BJ
Yes,
so
I
live
at
six
Avon
place,
I'm
gonna,
do
it
to
bother
to
the
property?
I
did
submit
a
letter
in
opposition
to
the
project,
but
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
the
size
of
the
property
is
much
larger
than
almost
all
the
other
properties
that
it
surrounds.
It's
an
incredibly
dense
neighborhood
with
the
overhead
wires
for
the
electrical.
There
is
a
huge
fire
risk,
as
Ryan
mentioned.
BJ
True,
there
are
actually
three
properties
aren't
even
plates
that
have
burned
down
it's
four
five
and
seven,
so
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
that
the
parcel
that
they
are
proposing,
the
property
is
very
large.
They
do
have
concerns
for
the
structural
Integrity
of
my
home
with
the
building
and
would
prefer
something
on
the
smaller
scale,
that's
more
in
line
with
the
neighborhood
both
for
fire
prevention
and
because
the
property
is
so
dense.
We
have
so
little
space
as
it
is.
Thank
you.
AY
Yes,
can
you
hear
me
this
is
Lisa
Talbot
three
Avon
place
in
Charlestown?
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
oh
hi,
so
I
am
also
a
direct,
a
butter.
My
concerns
are
really
around
the
structural
Integrity
of
Avon
place.
We
are
built
on
a
hill.
We
also
are
all
pretty
much
wood
frame
structures
here
so
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
structural
Integrity
of
our
properties
and.
AB
AY
The
other
thing
that
I
just
want
clarification
on
Evan
had
mentioned
the
trees
that
will
stay
I,
guess
I'm,
just
asking
about
the
100
year
old
pine
tree,
that's
also
on
that
property
and
if
that
will
be
staying,
if
this
goes
through,
that's
all
I
have.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
B
BG
So
Evan,
why
don't
you
handle
the
words
reference
to
a
pine
tree,
I
believe
and
then
also,
if
you
could
speak
to,
there
seems
to
be
a
lot
of
discussion
on
the
fire
safety.
Of
course,
this
new
structure
will
it
will
be
in
accordance
with
new
building
and
fire
code
regulations.
But
if
you
could
speak
to
that
too,.
BF
Okay,
yeah,
the
I
believe
the
100
year
old
pine
tree
is
one
of
the
trees
along
Avon
place
that
will
be
retained.
We
are
proposing
to
remove
a
red
maple,
that's
further
in
on
the
site.
So
that's
not
one
of
the
trees.
That's
going
to
be
removed,
be
able
to
intend
on
on
constructing
this
building
to
the
current
building
codes.
BG
Yeah
and
if
that's
something
that
the
board,
these
are
also
things
with
respect
to
the
trees,
we
take
the
bppa
recommendation
of
approval
very
seriously
and
that's
why
we
inventoried
in
protecting
the
trees
that
we
can
but
we're
happy
to
work
through
that
through
the
design
process.
Just
briefly,
though,
I
I
would
like
to
clarify
so
respectfully.
You
know
for
folks
that
we
heard
from
on
Avon
and
in
the
neighborhood
talks
about
sides
and
setbacks
which
have
nothing
to
do
with
this.
This
case
we
are
not
reducing
the
setbacks
in
any
way.
BG
BG
The
other
important
thing
to
recognize
here
is
that
the
with
respect
to
Avon
place,
the
existing
structure
is
3.2
feet
off
the
rear
lot
line.
This
new
building
will
be
20
feet
off
the
rear
lot
line
again,
an
improved
condition
or
of
folks
off
Avon
place,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
will
say.
This
is
a
three
family
zoning
District
by
law,
and
we
are
proposing
two
units
so
the
size
and
the
setbacks.
BG
BG
B
Thank
you,
Francis
did
you
want
to
go
back
to
one
or
two
raised
hands,
I.
Think
if
there's
any
new
information,
people
are
adding.
We've
already
heard
a
lot
of
detail
on
opposition.
X
AC
Name
is
Roberta
Freeman
I
live
at
eight
Avon
place
I
in
the
immediate
butter
to
this
property.
I
won't
repeat
what
everybody
else
said.
My
concerns
are
the
stain,
but
there
was
a
Geo
report
done
and
my
concern
is
the
Integrity
to
my
property.
I've
been
there
40
years.
There
was
a
lot
of
recommendations.
I
sent
the
Geo
report
in
with
my
opposition
and
I
would
like
the
zone
or
to
consider
the
fact
that
they
should
do
these
recommendations
before
they
do
anything
because
the
property
is
around
me
are
150
years
old.
AC
This
addition
they're
putting
on
those
two
laws,
have
been
left
over
100
years,
so
I'm
sure
the
soil
needs
to
be
checked
because
the
vibration
is
going
to
affect
all
of
the
embotters
because
we
are
on
adult.
So
if
they
could
just
take
that
into
consideration
when
making
the
acquisition
on
this
property,
I
would
appreciate.
W
W
You
know
I
I
did
hear
in
terms
of
kind
of
exceeding
the
side
yard,
but
in
you
know,
typically
in
a
lot
when
you
you,
when
you
set
up
the
front
and
yard
very
weird
step
back,
you
know
in
this
case
the
rear
setback
typically
was
20
feet
in
a
given
kind
of
prototype
condition.
This
is
a
very
odd
site,
which
is
almost
an
l,
but
the
applicant
applied
to
side
yard,
because
that
that
is
the
correct
way
of
reading
the
zoning.
W
S
N
F
J
B
I
Through
the
chair,
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
for
a
full
bpda
desire
on
you,
because
basically
I
feel
that
things
they're
in
line.
You
know
Joel
Hanley,
complaining
very
well
and
I
do
like
to
make
the
most
importantly
may.
