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

Is

second
second
all,
those
in

aye
aye,
all
those
approved?
I
suppose
the
minutes
are
approved.
E
F
Mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
marantzy,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
business
address
of
350
west
broadway
in
south
boston,
chairman
members.
This
is
the
third
request.
That
would
be
the
last
request.
My
client
is
begging
the
indulgence
of
the
board
for
one
final
extension.
He
wants
to
commence
the
project,
but
he's
been
having
trouble
relocating
his
existing
business
at
29
a
street.
This
is
a
scrap
metal
yard.
His
preference
is
to
stay
in
the
city
of
boston.
F
He
is
not
going
out
of
business,
but,
as
the
board
can
imagine,
it's
been
quite
difficult
to
secure
a
location
within
boston
for
a
scrap
metal
yard,
which
is
an
industrial
use.
He
recognizes
that
the
board
cannot
allow
this
to
go
on
forever,
but
he
did
ask
me
to
make
one
final
request
for
an
extension.
F
F
Now,
yeah
additional
additionally,
mr
chairman,
I
mean
he's
he's
ready
to
move
forward
now.
The
first
extensions
I
requested
were
due
to
a
title
issue
which
had
arisen.
There
was
a
title
dispute
with
in
a
butter
which
did
not
allow
him
to
move
forward,
then
came
covert.
You
know,
which
I
understand,
impacted
everybody.
So
after
that
he's
got
the
title
issue
resolved
cove
had
slowed
him
down,
he's
been
looking
in
earnest
for
the
past
year
for
a
location
within
the
city,
but
hasn't
been
able
to
find
one.
F
He
doesn't
want
to
leave
the
city,
but
he
either
will
have
to
do
that
or
abandon
abandon
this
relief.
Okay,.
F
Expired
yesterday,
okay.
H
A
Make
it
clear
that
this
will
be
the
the
last
extension.
H
Yeah,
because
with
the
tolling
he
gets
basically
another
another
year
in
the
toll.
So
I'm
fine
with
the
one-year
extension
from
today
is
that
emotion,
that's
a
motion.
Yep
I'll.
I
A
E
E
A
Well,
the
request
for
a
second
extension
right:
yeah:
okay,
miss
is
the
applicant
on.
J
It's
it's
eunice
williams,
she's
right
here,
187
indian
name,
canton,
massachusetts.
A
Okay,
is
there
a
can
you
explain
why
you
need
an
extension.
L
J
We
were
not
able
to
get
all
the
documents
needed
for
the
the
boston,
water
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
because
of
covid,
and
so
you
know
we
just
got
everything
now
and
we'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
proceed.
A
Okay,
well,
it
is
now
near
the
end
of
september
and
the
your
first
extension
expired
on
march
1st.
So
why
didn't
you
come
before
this
more
than
the
last
six
months.
J
Well,
a
lot
of
things
happened
in
the
last
six
months.
I
I
I
had
a
not
only
coven,
I
had
a
heart
attack.
I
have
a
new
glad
to
see.
I
have
a
new
periodic
valve
replaced
made
out
of
cow
tissue,
two
bypass
transplant,
and
you
know
I'm
still
on
the
mend,
but
I
I
you
know
I.
J
A
Okay,
I
I
would
entertain
a
motion
for
a
year
from
the
date
of
expiration.
With
this,
it's
not
a
good.
It's
not
a
good
precedent
to
have
gone
for
so
long
without
seeking
extension.
Can
I
have
a
motivational
motion
for.
I
A
Okay,
so
you've
got
you've
got
till
march
first
of
next
year.
We
didn't
we're
gonna,
take
the
vote.
E
N
E
A
E
Mr
chairman,
this
is
robert
nicholson,
hold
on
sir
sorry,
no
problem.
We
we
scheduled
january
12
of
2020..
E
O
No
problem
robert
nichols
300
a
street
south
boston
as
a
business
address
for
us,
and
this
particular
parcel.
We
had
landed
on
it
originally
and
ended
up
taking
it
back
through
foreclosure
during
colbit,
and
so
we
got
the
plans
originally
extended.
In
january,
we
received
our
extension
approval
on
april
14
and
we
submitted
all
documentation
to
the
bpda
in
july.
O
We're
still
waiting
to
hear
back,
but
we're
ready
to
go
forward
with
securing
a
permit
as
soon
as
the
bpda
finishes
their
review
process,
and
this
we
won't
need
any
further
extensions.
After
this
we're
ready
to
get
going
with
the
project.

richard
lynn's
business

at
245,
sumner

on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
of
online
capital.
Mr
chairman,
the
board
approved
this
back
in
august
of
2020
for
six
units
with
on-street
parking
in
a
four-story
building.
The
plans
that
were
submitted
at
the
time
did
include
a
head
house.
The
board
included
a
proviso
that
the
roof
deck
would
be
permitted,
provided
that
no
head
house
was
included
accordingly.
M
We've
resubmitted
to
requests
for
removal
head
house
which
triggered
the
building
code,
violation
and
consistent
with
the
board's
practice
we're
requesting
relief
to
construct
the
roof
deck
with
without
the
head
house.
A
Okay,
can
I
can
I
have
a

I'll
make.

M
Good
morning
again,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board
for
the
record
richard
lynch
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
gary
carter,
similar
to
the
last
case.
Mr
chairman,
this
board
approved
the
zoning
relief
back
in
april
of
this
year.
Included
with
the
original
plans
was
the
head
house,
the
board
included
a
similar
proviso
in
which
the
head
house
would
not
be
permitted
if
the
roof
deck
were
allowed.
Accordingly,
we're
back
before
the
board
for
the
building
code,
relief.
A
Okay
again,
mr
robinson,
have
you
seen
the
plans?
Yes.
I
Everything's
in
order
per
our
review
previously.
P
H
A
I
I
think,
mr
ruggiero,
I
think,
because
it
involves
a
building
code
violation.
We
are
required
to
do
it.
I
think,
but
you're
right.
This
is
basically
a
de
minimis
kind
of
this
is
almost
like
a
board.
Fine
larva
thing.
H
M
Mr
chairman,
just
for
clarification
quickly,
I
a
lot
of
these
are
legacy
type
cases
where
the
original
plan
that
is
submitted
is
submitted
for
purpose
of
compliance
with
the
building
code,
and
these
are
just
basically
being
cleaned
up.
I
can
inform
the
board,
as
you
will
see,
probably
today,
a
number
of
the
projects
that
we
do
submit.
Now
we
do
eliminate
the
head
house
when
it
is
a
fourth
story,
so
we
we.
We
do
recognize
the
board's
position
on
this
and
have
adopted
that.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
so
there's
a
motion
that's
been
made
in
second,
all
those
in
favor
aye.
J
E
E
M
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
richard
lens
245,
sunder
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner,
mr
chairman,
despite
us
having
a
good
level
of
support,
making
significant
changes
to
this
project,
we've
been
asked
by
neighborhood
services
and
the
district
councilor
to
consider
having
one
further
conversation
with
the
neighborhood,
where
we're
in
favor
of
that
we're
happy
to
do
that,
and
we're
asking
for
a
very
brief
deferral.
If
possible.
M
E
So
it'll
be
october
19th
at
12
30..
E
Q
E
R
So
we're
seeking
a
deferral
because
we
just
received
notice
that
one
of
the
the
neighborhood
association
project
wright
would
like
to
meet
with
us
which
we're
fine
with
doing
they
want
to
meet
with
us
on
october
6th.
So
we're
just
like
a
a
little
deferral,
so
we
can,
you
know,
have
a
conversation
with
them.
R
A
E
S
30.
good
morning,
mr
chair,
a
deferral
on
on
seven
columbus
square,
I'm
sorry
say.
S
Please
good
morning,
adam
baranowski
255
state
street
in
boston
attorney
for
the
petitioner,
as
mr
chairman
members
of
the
board,
we're
seeking
a
limited
deferral
on
this
application.
The
reason
for
this
request
is
to
conduct
additional
community
outreach.
The
applicant
has
met
with
the
neighbors
on
four
different
occasions,
but
as
of
last
night,
there
has
been
a
request
from
members
of
the
community
to
conduct
an
additional
meeting
to
answer
any
additional
questions
that
the
community.
T
S
Deferral
if,
if
available
to
october
or
the
earliest
available
date
thereafter,
we
don't
anticipate.
This
is
going
to
take
a
long
period
of
time,
and
this
application
process
has
been
somewhat
lengthy
today.
So
any
any
attention
that
the
board
can
have
to
approving
the
deferral
requests
and
putting
an
offer
up
globally
would
be
greatly
appreciated.
V
I
E
A
I
Secretary,
can
I
ask
a
quick
question:
is
is
not
680
mass
ave
is
that
an
administrative
deferral.
I
It
was
a
withdrawal-
I
I
mean
it's
in
the
notice.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure.
G
All
right
this
is
tom.
I
spoke
with
the
applicants
for
that
one
yesterday.
I
believe
you'll
want
to
request
agent
pearl
because
he's
missing
the
g-cod
stuff
that
he
needs.
Christian
is
not
here
today,
but
I've
gotten
the
communications
from
him.
So
I
don't
know
if
the
athlete's
having
trouble
getting
on
or
what
the
what
the
status
of
the
case
is
really
there's.
Also
some
other
questions
about.
Apparently,
when
his
attorney
filled
out
the
application
for
the
board
appeal
and
the
permit,
he
put
the
wrong
applicant's
information
down.
A
So
I'm
confused
tom
so
are:
were
they
asking
for
a
deferral
or
withdrawal?
I
just
don't
deferral.
G
A
G
A
E
Chair,
if
you
want,
we
can
just
go
through
the
motions
here
and
then,
if
they
show
up
in
the
interim,
that's
fine.
Okay!
Thank
you.

They're
calling

E
M
Good
morning,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
richard:
linds,
a
business
address
at
245
summer
street
espos,
I'm
the
athlete
petitioner,
who
is
the
mg2
group,
I'm
not
sure
if
mr
ruggiero
is
on
at
this
time,
particularly.
M
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
This
proposal
is
located
on
the
main
street
of
east
boston,
bennington
street
closest
to
orion
heights,
section,
probably
in
between
that
and
days
square.
Our
proposal
is
to
demolish
the
existing
structure,
that
is
on
the
site,
about
3
700
square
feet
and
proposed
to
construct
a
new
nine
unit.
Four
scrolling
building.
M
This
would
contain
six
parking
spaces,
off-street
and,
as
I
said,
nine
residential
units
averaging
about
960
square
feet
per
unit.
Most
of
the
units
are
two-bedroom.
There
are
two
single-bedroom
units
as
well.
We
did
have
a
robust
community
process
on
this.
Originally,
this
project
involved
ground
level,
retail.
We
heard
from
direct
letters
and
concerns
over
incorporating
that
into
the
project
and
instead
eliminated
the
ground
level
retail
and
proposed
six
offshoot
parking
spaces.
M
With
respect
to
the
unit
sizes
of
the
ground
level
unit
is
a
studio
just
under
500
square
feet.
The
two
bedrooms
range
in
size
from
a
little
over
800
square
feet
up
to
about
1390
square
feet.
We
do
propose
a
roof
deck
for
this
building
that
would
not
be
accessed
by
headhouse.
We
do
incorporate
a
request
to
allow
this
to
be
accessed
without
a
head
house
which
will
require
separate
building
code
relief
with
respect
to
the
relief
that's
necessary.
M
This
property
is
located
in
the
neighborhood
shopping
district,
so
a
multi-family
residential
use
isn't
allowed
use
in
this
district.
We
do
require
relief
for
some
of
the
dimensional
requirements,
including
the
florida
area
ratio
which
we
are
proposing
at
a
2.81,
and
the
height
of
the
building
would
stand
at
about
43
almost
44
feet.
M
The
height
of
this
building
being
located
on
a
a
main
boulevard
in
the
community.
We
feel
is
consistent
with
the
planning
objectives
under
the
east
boston
interim
planning,
overlay
district,
where,
where
the
bpda's
preliminary
recommendations
looks
at
including
higher
buildings
along
the
main
streets
in
the
in
the
east,
boston
community,
the
boulevards
such
as
bennington
street,
we
also
require
relief
with
respect
to
the
rear
yard,
because
this
would
be
a
shallow
lot
condition.
We
would
be
eligible
to
reduce
the
required
rear
yard
from
20
feet
to
10
feet.
M
We
are
proposing
a
condition
of
about
3.1
feet.
However,
if
you
look
at
the
plan,
we
do
have
an
overview.
I
believe
we
can
slide
the
overview
in
the
presentation
located
directly
behind
us
is
the
parking
lot
for
the
first
priority
credit
union
that
is
used
for
off-street
parking
for
the
bank.
M
They
are
direct
to
butter
and
have
expressed
support
for
the
proposal,
including
the
step
back
relief
that
we're
requesting.
I
do
also
have
our
architect
eric
zacherson
who's
available
to
answer
any
questions
in
the
board.
A
So
this
would
encompass
nine
nine
units,
a
studio
and
eight
and
eight
regular
units.
Is
that
correct?
That
is
correct
and
what
are
the
sizes
of
the
units.
M
So
the
studio
is
480
square
feet.
The
one
bedrooms
just
around
600
square
feet
106.25
as
well
as
5.95.
The
two
bedrooms
range
from
810
square
feet
up
to
about
1390s
square
feet.
So
the
overall
average
of
mr
chairman
of
the
unit
size
is
about
950
square
feet
and.
A
The
the
current
the
building
that
is
going
to
be
demolished
is
is
what
a
single
family
two
family.
What
is
it.
M
Correct
it
is
a
single
family
and
again
somewhat
of
an
outlier
from
the
zoning
district
being
in
the
neighborhood
shopping
district.
We
have
done
the
due
diligence
with
respect
to
any
historical
significance
that
this
building
has.
According
to
macross
database.
M
A
I
was
less,
I
was
not
so
much
asking
about
the
historic
quality,
although
that's
a
good
point,
but
it
seems
a
rather
sharp
uptick
in
density.
You
go
from
one
to
nine.
M
If
I
can
explain
that,
mr
chairman,
so
if
we
can,
I
believe
I
do
have
an
overview
of
the
site
if
you've
got
an
idea
of
the
context
for
the
area
immediately.
Adjacent
to
our
property
is
also
another
parking
lot
and
again
to
the
rear
would
be
a
parking
lot
to
the
left
would
be
a
commercial
building
which
is
the
first
priority
credit
union,
so
the
single
family
is
somewhat
of
an
island
onto
the
surrounding
context.
M
In
the
area
located
directly
across
the
street,
is
a
cemetery
as
well,
as
I
said,
being
in
the
neighborhood
shopping
district,
these
types
of
uses
tend
to
be
more
compatible,
including
multi-family,
residential
or
mixed
use,
and
then
the
proximity
again
to
day
square
and
rhode
island
train
station
makes
this
a
unique
opportunity,
certainly
for
this
particular
site
for
this
type
of
housing.
Okay,.
A
And
and
for
them,
so
let's
focus
on
this
slide
in
particular,
for
forgetting,
for
the
moment,
the
the
bank
and
the
parking
lots,
the
various
residential
buildings
that
are
on
to
the
right,
both
on
bennington
and
the
on
the
street
in
the
rear.
What's
the
typical
size
size
in
terms
of
unit
size
of
those
buildings.
M
So,
as
you
travel
up
bennington
street,
mr
chairman,
you
do
have
a
mix
on
both
sides
of
the
street.
You
have
some
commercial,
but
you
also
have
some
one
two
and
three
unit
buildings.
As
you
go
up
that
section
of
bennington
street
immediately
behind
it
on
saratoga
street,
you
do
have
a
number
of
multi-families,
including
several
multi-families
that
are
either
ongoing
construction
or
just
completing
construction,
not
the
least
of
which
is
a
30
unit.
Building
directly
behind
on
the
street
on
saratoga
street
and.
A
It
also
seems
I
I
understand
it's
sort
of
an
anomaly
anomalous
plot
there
we're
surrounded
by
parking
lots,
but
it
also
seems
like
basically
you
your
building
has
taken
up
virtually
every
square
inch
of
the
lot,
there's
almost
close
to
100
lot
coverage,
and
that
concerns
me
as.
M
Well,
understood
and
again,
the
the
purpose
of
that
is
to
accommodate
a
couple
of
things.
First,
the
parking
at
the
lower
level,
as
well
as
the
design
that
we
just
felt
was
a
bit
more
consistent
with
the
layout
and
the
proximity
to
the
commercial
structure
to
our
left.
A
What's
the
size
of
the
curb
cut
into
the
the
garage
and
also
what's
the
size
of
the
of
the
parking
spots.
W
The
curb
cut,
sorry,
excuse
me,
the
curb
cut
would
be
12
feet
and
the
parking
spaces,
I
believe,
are
all
full
size,
three
full
size
and
three
compact
spaces,
so
eight
and
a
half
by
twenty
and
then
the
compacts
are
seven
by
eighteen.
I
The
drawings
look
good,
I
I
do
have
one
question
for
the
opponent,
so
you
mentioned
a
roof
deck.
There
is
no
roof
deck
shown
on
the
drawings
that
I
have,
it
seems.
Are
you
referring
to
the
setback
of
the
fourth
floor
or.
W
Is
there
that's
correct,
mr
robinson,
the
the
actual
roof
decks
on
the
above
the
fourth
floor
were
removed
during
the
neighborhood
process.
So
we
have
walkout
decks
on
the
fourth
floor.
Okay,.
I
I
It
looks
like
a
common
path
buy
because
you're
showing
only
three
feet:
two
inches
of
side
yard
setback,
which
I
understand,
is
not
a
violation
because
the
neighborhood
shopping,
but
it
looks
to
be
much
greater
in
your
rendering
as
a
through
block
connection
of
some
sort.
Where
there's
a
people
with
a
carriage
is,
can
you
just
confirm
or
make
sure
we're
understanding
what
the
relationship
of
the
building
to
the
site
is
on
that
side?.
W
Yeah
yeah
we're
correct.
That's
correct!
We're
about
three
feet:
two
inches
away.
We
think
the
rendering
may
be
a
little
off,
but
the
fence
is
not
exactly
on
the
property
line
and
that's
the
surface
lot
neck
to
the
right
of
us.
Okay,.
I
And
then
I
think
I
I
know
the
the
bpa
noted
some
concern
with
relationship
to
the
bays
and
the
street
trees
on
the
street
alignment
issue
is:
is
there
any
flexibility
in
sort
of
making
some
of
those
adjustments
to
respect
the
existing
tree
canopy
along
that
street,
because
I
do
think
those
are
some
trees
that
should
be?
You
know
captive
possible.
It
seems
like
you're
right
on
top
of
them.
A
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
As
you
know,
we
recommend
it's
an
hour
without
prejudice.
We
think
that
the
project's
just
way
too
big
as
you
and
to
further
expand
on
not
only
this
case,
but
I'm
sure
that
you
have
seen
on
several
of
the
cases
in
east
boston
today,
we've
recommended
denial,
we're
in
the
middle
of
the
plant,
east
boston
and
everything
is
just
getting
to
be
too
big
too
dense
too
fast.
G
So
you'll
see
that
in
a
lot
of
our
recommendations
today,
whether
it
be
height,
far
long
coverage
but
yeah,
this
particular
case
was
troubling
with
the
wide
coverage.
Okay,.
E
Chair
before
you
go
to
testimony,
mr
d'amico
has
spoke
on
this
I'd
like
to
put
his
testimony
into
the
record,
please
regarding
486
490.,
sorry
486
490
bennington.
E
X
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
linda
tremelin,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
the
recurring
support
for
this
proposal
during
the
community
process.
The
applicant
addressed
several
of
the
concerns
of
the
apartheid,
including
density
and
the
design
of
the
building,
and
will
receive
three
letters
of
support
from
directabarx
for
this
workload.
Thank
you.
X
K
A
And
what
what
is
mr
secretary,
what
is
the
opposition
based.
Y
I
am
excuse
me
bill
masterson,
east
boston,
65,
lewis,
street
east
boston
with
tree
easty.
I
share
the
same
concerns.
I
thank
you,
mr
chair
and
board
share
the
same
concerns
relative
to
the
trees
that
are
on
the
street,
making
sure
that
they
continue
to
remain
and
not
be
replaced
because
that's
those
are
mature
trees
that
have
been
there
for
probably
20
years
plus.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
K
Thank
you
and
then
cole.
The
looking
at
you've
been
on
me
to
go
ahead.
Can
you
stitch
your
name
and
address
for
the
record,
please?
I.
Z
Probably
mazzarella
15
horror
street
east
boston,
so
I'm
I'm
just
like
on
one
back
street
away
from
this
pretty
much
about
a
block
and
a
half
away
the
I
I
don't
understand
where
the
shopping
area
is
anywhere
near
this
this
lot.
The
only
place
you
could
buy
anything
within
a
block
would
be
off
of
bennington
street
I'll
use.
Car
lot
very
small
used
car
lot
or
off
of
bennington
street
on
the
on
the
very
on
the
peril
saratoga
street.
There's
a
tiny
little
corner
store.
Z
That's
that's!
Not
not
even
the
same
block.
A
Q
Z
I
just
wanted
to
be
accurate
about
if
it's
like
you
know
how
far
like
someone
asked
is
our
what's
the
kind
of
housing
to
the
right
when
we
were
talking
about
the
the
picture,
I
just
wanted
to
be
accurate.
Okay,.
I
I'll
make
a
motion
to
deny
without
prejudice.
I
just
think
it's
just
too
dense
for
the
site
and
I
think
there's
some
relationship
issues
to
the
street
that
I
don't
in
the
rear
that
I
just
don't
think
are
that
easily
addressed
in
a
bpda
design
review.
So
I
think,
does
it.
I
think,
there's
some
merit
here
for
this
project
and
I
think
I
understand
it,
but
I
think
needs
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board.
A
I'm
sorry
did
I
did
I
hear
somebody.
Yes,
I
oppose.
I
oppose
denial.
Okay
and
mr
ruggiero
has
recused
himself
correct.
A
And
so
that
means
so
I
will
vote
in
favor
of
the
motion,
so
the
motion
carries.

E
M
Morning,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
richard
lin's
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner,
mr
chairman,
this
is
a
pre-existing
three-family
row
house
located
in
the
jeffries
point
section
of
east
boston.
If
I
could
have
madame
ambassador
bring
up
the
the
rendering,
probably
help
a
little
bit
more
with
the
explanation
for
the
proposal,
the
change
of
occupancy
would
involve
an
addition,
as
well
as
changing
the
unit
count
from
three
to
four.
M
M
This
is
very
consistent
with
a
number
of
the
properties
on
that
side
of
summer
street,
including
a
number
of
projects
that
either
have
undergone
rehabilitation
or
change
over
time.
With
respect
to
the
relief
that's
necessary,
this
is
located
at
3f
2000
district.
I'm
not
sure
that
this
is
the
rendering
for
this
project.
M
Maybe
I
apologize
so
with
respect
to
the
relief
that
would
be
necessary.
This
does
comply
with
the
minimum
wage
size.
As
it's
a
little
over
two
thousand
square
feet,
the
minimum
lot
size
for
the
district.
We
would
require
relief
for
the
additional
unit
that
is
being
proposed
for
the
additional
lot
area.
We
do
need
the
requirements
that
we
expect
a
lot
frontage
and
lot
width.
M
However,
the
height
of
the
building
would
be
increased
slightly
above
the
35
foot
height
limit,
that's
permitted
up
to
40
feet,
nine
inches
the
number
of
stories
as
well,
going
from
three
to
four
and
the
increase
from
the
current.
Far
up
to
a
two
point:
seven
four:
for
the
40-year
ratio.
M
We
also
do
require
for
the
addition
that
is
being
proposed.
The
requirement
is
2.5
feet.
However,
as
this
is
a
row
house,
any
addition
to
the
rear
of
this
building
would
actually
be
within
the
2.5
foot
setback,
and
we
do
also
require
relief
for
parking
for
the
additional
unit
that
is
being
proposed
and
again
consistent
with.
M
I
think
the
past
practice
of
this
board,
creating
even
if
it
were
possible,
creating
one
off-screen
parking
space
to
comply
with
the
code
is,
is
probably
not
preferable,
including
adding
a
curb
cut
that
would
take
away
from
existing
on-street
parking.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
before
respecting
this
proposal.
Okay,.
A
I
I,
mr
lynn,
I
actually
meant
to
ask
this
last
one
as
well
as
this
are
you
are
these
pro
this
project
in
a
flood
zone?
Is
that
a
concern.
M
This
this
project
and
the
previous
project
were
not
not
in
the
flood
zone.
Okay,.
A
Okay,
so
the
you've
got
three
units
now
you're
going
to
end
up
with
four
with
the
addition
is
the
fourth
unit
are
the
other
three
units,
unchanged
is
just
the
the
the
extra
space.
The
addition
will
accommodate
the
fourth
unit.
M
And
again,
I'm
having
a
little
hard
time
seeing
the
screen,
mr
chairman,
so
I
can
just
if
we
could
scroll.
I
don't
know
if
we're
scroll
down
to
the
actual
floor
plan,
but
there
is
a
reprogramming
of
the
entire
building
because
we
do
it.
It
does
involve
an
extension
of
the
rear
of
the
building
as
well.
So
it
would
be
a
full
reprogramming
of
the
building,
which
would
obviously
result
in
upgrade
to
life
safety.
A
Okay,
so
there's
extra
space
on
the
rear
of
the
building
on
each
of
the
existing
floors
and
then
a
new
floor
that,
with
his
own
separate
unit,
correct,
that's
correct,
okay
can
and
what
is
this?
What
will
the
square
it
looks
like
the
square
footage
is
our
ample,
but
can
you
go
ahead
and
say
what
he's
for
sure.
M
The
two
bedrooms
are
1100
and
1200
square
feet
and
then
the
three
bedrooms
are
1200
250
square
feet.
Each
okay.
A
M
That
section
of
of
sumner
street,
mr
chairman,
does
have
a
mix
of
three
and
four-story
buildings.
There
are
a
number
of
probably
pre-depression
air
force,
three-story
buildings
that
actually
have
good
size
exposed
foundation,
so
they
do
sit
a
little
bit
higher
than
a
typical
triple
decker
today,
but
generally
consistent
with
the
surrounding
area.
That's
in
that
neighborhood,
but.
A
M
I
The
drawings,
mr
robinson,
the
drawings,
are
good.
I
I
concur.
I
think
it's
it's,
you
know
meets
the
the
context.
It
does
have
a
fourth
floor
setback
that
is
providing
an
outdoor
space
for
the
fourth
floor
or
unit
four
that
I
think,
aligns
better
with
the
adjacent
roof
edges,
there's
no
roof
deck
on
the
top,
just
for
everybody's
sake,
and
there
is
no
basement
dwelling
units.
So
no
questions.
H
Okay,
I
I
have
a
question
yes,
mr
roger,
so
my
my
question
is
more
regards
to
the
the
the
rear
extension.
So
what
is
it
currently
and
what's
the
radioactive
setback
now
and
what
is
it
going
to
be.
M
X
Good
morning,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
lena
tremeling,
with
the
mayor's
office
of
negro
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
the
regular
support
for
this
proposal.
This
proposal
received
support
from
jeffrey's
point
neighborhood
association
and,
as
well,
will
receive
five
letters
of
support.
Thank
you.
AA
K
Okay,
mr
chair,
I
do
have
a
raised
hand.
Caller
10.,
you've
been
a
muted,
that's
a
this
is
a
781290
number.
Are
you
here
to
give
testimony
for
this
proposal.
U
Yeah,
my
name
is
steve
schuman,
I'm
calling
regarding
case
boa
10501.
A
Okay,
we're
we're
not
we're
not
on
that
project
at
the
moment
and
that
has
been
deferred.
So
thank
you
for
helping
me.
Thank
you
for
tuning
in
sorry.
K
About
that,
thank
you,
yep,
we're
all
set.
The
other
raised
hand
is
where
someone
else
is
presenting
at
the
later
date.
A
Okay,
then-
and
in
that
case,
can
I
have
a
motion,
please,
oh
before
we
do
that
just
mr
hampton,
do
you
want
to
comment.
G
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
We
recommended
denial
without
prejudice
again
to
my
previous
statement
on
the
last
case,
with
the
planning
that's
going
on
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
projects
come
forward,
trying
to
go
bigger
more
dense,
so
we
recommended
denial
without
prejudice
because
of
the
high
tones.
A
Okay,
although
on
this
one,
it
seems
like
the
height
is
well
forget.
The
stories
for
the
moment,
but
the
actual
height
is,
is
consistent
with
the
with
neighboring
buildings.
Isn't
that
correct.
G
Yeah,
it
appears
to
me,
but
we're
trying
to
be
consistent
on
our
recommendations
in
the
neighborhoods,
where
we
have
planning
studies
to
go
right
now.
So
that's
why
we're
facing
this,
even
though
it
is
somewhat
similar,
it
is
still
a
little
taller
and
we're
just
trying
to
be
consistent
with
our
recommendations.

M
Good
morning,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
richard
lenz
business,
address
245
summer
street
east
foss,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
with
me,
is
eric
zacherson
the
project
architect
for
this
as
well.
This
proposal
is
located
close
to
the
central
square
section
of
east
boston
and
park
street.
It
actually
is
a
pre-existing
one-family
structure.
M
Our
proposal
would
be
to
renovate
preserve
the
existing
structure,
renovate
and
add
an
addition
that
will
change
the
occupancy
from
a
single
family
to
a
four
unit
dwelling.
We
would
also
be
proposing
a
total
of
three
parking
spaces
on
site,
as
this
is
located
in
the
three
f
2000
district.
Some
relief
under
the
article
53
that
would
be
necessary,
includes
the
use
as
multi-family
four
units
would
be
forbidden.
Up
to
three
units
would
be
allowed.
We
do
comply
with
the
requirements
for
a
lot
with
the
lot
frontage
at
25
feet.
M
We
also
meet
the
requirements
for
the
minimum
watch
size
of
2
500
square
feet,
the
total
height
of
the
building,
and
if
we
could,
I'm
not
sure,
if
we're
out
right,
yeah
there
we
go,
total
height
of
the
building
would
actually
be
39.25
feet
and
what
we've
tried
to
do
and
I'll.
Let
eric
explain
this
a
little
bit
differently.
We've
done
a
number
of
projects
on
this
section
of
higher
street,
where
four
unit
buildings
are
now
pretty
common.
M
We
do
have
a
number
of
the
pre-existing
three-story
dwellings
that
sit
about
36
to
37
feet
in
a
height,
but
we
did
also
incorporate
the
pitch
roof,
which
is
reflective
of
some
of
the
styles
that
we
do
see
in
that
section
of
higher
street
for
some
of
the
smaller
buildings
further
down
closer
to
the
square,
but
we
really
were
striving
to
achieve
something
that
was
consistent
in
the
overall
height
that
we
do
see
on
that
section
of
our
street.
We
also
do
require
a
relief.
M
We
are
excited
for
parking,
because
this
would
be
a
four
unit.
Building
the
parking
violation
would
actually
require
a
total
of
five
spaces.
However,
we
view
article
53
is
only
requiring
additional
spaces
for
the
additional
units
proposed,
since
this
is
already
a
pre-existing
condition
again.
Both
eric
zacherson
and
I
are
available
to
answer
any
questions
on
the
board.
A
Okay,
so
there
are,
this
is
going
from
a
one
to
a
four,
so
you've
got
a
pitched
roof,
but
you
also
have
dormers
right.
That's
correct!
I
can't
tell
quite
from
the
drive
the
dorm
yeah,
the
dormants
run
the
full
length
of
the
of
the
building.
W
A
It's
three
feet
so
there's
a
visual
separation,
yeah,
okay
and
again,
just
in
terms
of
the
height
39.25.
How
does
that
compare
to
adjacent
buildings.
W
A
A
Okay,
all
right:
how
are
the
drawings
oh
and
just
a
unit
size?
Can
you
just
walk
us
through
that
sure.
M
I
Drawings
are
fine,
no
questions
on
those.
I
just
have
one
question
which
I
just
want
to
make
sure.
I
understand
that
we
received
this
sort
of
an
email
from
it
looks
like
maybe
the
rear
butter
related
to
an
easement
or
drive
link.
Can
you
just
make
sure
we
understand
what's
going
on
with
that?
Just
I'm
not
sure
I
quite
understand,
but
I
want
to
make
sure.
M
Thank
you
good
question.
So,
with
respect,
if
we
go
to
our
site
plan,
we
do
show
a.
I
think.
It's
roughly
five
foot
setback
on
our
left
side
of
our
building,
there's
easement
rights
to
allow
for
access
to
the
rear
of
our
property.
Obviously
we
would
not
be
blocking
any
of
that
access
to
allow
for
the
abundant
property
owner
as
well
to
be
able
to
access
their
property,
but
we
do
have
the
ability
to
access
the
rear
of
our
property
over
share
these
rights
to
the
left
of
the
building.
I
Okay,
so
that
will
remain
in
place.
That's
basically
reusing
the
existing
footprint
of
the
building;
okay,
great!
No
questions
more
so.
A
The
parking
is
accessed
on
the
left
side
of
the
building
and
there
are
three
spaces
in
the
rear
that
I.
A
What
are
for
the
architect,
what
are
the
current
size
of
the
spaces.
W
There
are
two
full-size
spaces
that
are
nine
by
twenty
and
one
compact
that
is
some
by
seven
and
a
half
by
eighteen
there.
He
is
okay.
M
I
believe
we'll
go
back
to
the
site
plan
if
we
can
scroll
back
up.
M
Maybe
I
just
have
a
little
lag
online,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
site
plan
is
up
on
your
screen,
but
the
site
plan,
I
would
show
a
setback.
I
believe
it's
right
there,
that's
good
yep
yeah.
I
believe
that
there's
some
setback
on
the
left
side.
That
shows
that
the
width
of
the
passage
area
on
our
property
and
then
also
share
with
the
adjoining
property.
H
H
Yeah,
so
it
looks
like
yeah
there's
a
light
post
to
the
rear
of
the
driveway
there's
a
fence
back
there.
I
just
it
seems
like
it's
starting
to
get
caught
back
there.
That's
all
I'm
concerned
about
if
it's
one
thing
to
show
the
spots
that
to
mr
d'amico's
point
is
one
thing
to
show
those
thoughts
on
this
drawing,
but
feasibility
seems
a
little
difficult.
H
I
M
I
A
Okay:
okay,
any
other
questions
on
the
board.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
project.
X

AA
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
michael
benetti,
from
the
office
of
boston
city
council,
olynya
edwards,
the
council
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
project.
Thank
you.
E
Mr
t.s
secretary,
we
have
one
layer
of
support
from
maverick
square
as
well,
and
we
also
have
a
letter
of
opposition.
Just
one
letter
of
opposition.
A
E
E
E
K
And
mr
chai
have
no
raise
hands
for
this
proposal.
Okay,.
G
You
were
going
to
ask
that
it
would
be
the
same
as
the
the
last
hearing
with
the
excessive
height.
I
know
you're
going
to
say
from
a
contextual
point
of
view.
You
know
it's
not
that
bad
and
I
tend
to
agree
with
you,
but
it's
just
a
richie
lynn's
project
and
we
don't
like
it
today.
That's
all.
H
H
I
don't
even
know
how
to
work
this.
I
just
I,
you
know
I'll
take
help
from
anyone
on
the
board
that.
H
A
Well,
possibly,
we
can,
if
we
can
suggest
that
this
could
have
not
only
bpda
review
but
btd
review,
then
maybe
that
would
address
your
concerns.

AE
Thank
you
good
morning,
mr
chairman
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
mark
zubatsky,
I'm
a
member
of
the
development
team
for
the
proposed
project
at
14
day
june
industry
and
my
address
for
the
record
is
4
payne

dorchester
mass
m212,
I'm
joined
today
by
philip
sema
of
balance.
Architects,
14b
geneva
street
is
currently
a
vacant
lot
on
a
private
way.
The
proposed
project
calls
for
the
erection
of
a
new
four
unit.
AE
Four-Story
building
with
four
parking
spaces
at
grade
genevieve
tree
is
a
private
way
and
as
part
of
the
community
process,
the
development
team
has
also
agreed
to
pave
this
private
way,
which
is
currently
a
dirt
road.
AE
The
unit
mix
consists
of
two
one
bed,
one
bath
units
as
well
as
two
three
bed:
two
and
a
half
bath
units
and
the
square
footages
of
those
units
are
range
from
650
square
feet
to
approximately
1500
square
feet.
There
are
two
private
roof
decks
which
are
approximately
11
feet
by
15
feet.
Each
of
these
roof
decks
are
exclusive
used
to
unix
three
and
four
respectively
and
they'll
be
accessed
via
a
hatch
instead
of
a
head
house.
AE
AE
The
plans
examiner
cited
article
25,
section,
5
flood
hazard
district
we've
spoken
with
the
conservation
commission.
This
is
not
in
their
jurisdiction.
This
would
not
fall
under
a
special
hazard.
This
is
an
undetermined
flood
zone
district.
Nonetheless,
and
in
preparation
for
climate
change,
we
have
moved
all
the
mechanicals
up
and
there's
no
living
space
at
the
ground
floor,
which
largely
contributes
to
the
fourth
story.
Our
side
yard
is
insufficient.
AE
We
require
a
five
foot
minimum,
whereas
we
have
four
and
a
half
feet
on
our
left
and
one
half
foot
on
our
right
off
street
parking.
Insufficient.
We
have
four
spaces.
Six
would
be
required.
This
falls
under
the
ipod
roof.
Structural
restrictions
was
cited
likely
in
error,
as
this
is
a
new
structure
and
there
is
no
restrictive
roof
structure
on
a
new
building,
conforming
with
existing
building
alignment
at
the
front
the
front
wall
of
our
building
lines.
AE
AE
Our
lot.
Width
is
29.4
feet.
40
feet
is
the
minimum.
La
frontage
is
29.4
and
40
feet
minimum.
Our
far
is
2.2
relative
to
1.0
required
our
building
height
is
a
number
of
stories
is
four.
Whereas
three
is
allowed
and
building
height
is
forty
point.
Eight
relative
35
foot
building
had
allowed
our
usable
open
space
is
140
square
feet,
200
square
feet,
each
would
be
required
and
our
rear
yard
is
is
also
insufficient,
and
that
concludes
the
zoning
down.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Once
again,
we
have
a
a
fairly
dense
project
being
proposed
in
east
boston.
I
know
what
mr
hampton's
going
to
say,
but
four
units
in
a
2350
foot
square
lot
is
I'm
packing
a
lot
in
there,
so
the
the
height
is
40.8.
AE
The
buildings
to
the
immediately
adjacent
are
are
lower
in
height
there's,
a
number
of
one-story,
auto
body
shops,
garages,
there's
four-story,
multi-family
buildings.
This
block
is
developing,
it
is
half
vacant,
it's
a
dirt
road
and
so
we're
hoping
to
be
on.
You
know
there
are
a
number
of
other
projects
approved
at
four
stories
that
will
be
in
very
close
proximity.
A
Okay,
well,
whatever
happens
in
the
future,
will
happen
right
now,
we're
dealing
with
september
21st,
2021
and
the
current
conditions,
so
this
will
be
considerably
higher
than
anything
in
in
the
immediate
area.
Right.
A
The
flood
zone
is
good.
You
moved
everything
off
so
that
so
on
the
ground
level
there
is,
there
are
no
mechanicals,
it's
simply
parking
right,
yes,
okay,
and
what
is
the
size
of
those
parking
spaces.
A
Okay,
you've
got
a
hatch
for
the
roof,
that's
good!
It's
certainly
a
contemporary
look.
How
do
you
think
that
that
will
fit
into
the
context
architecturally.
AF
Yeah
hi
everyone
phil
steema,
from
balanced
architects.
The
look
of
the
building,
I
would
say,
is
contemporary.
There's
not
a
lot
of
context
to
pull
from
on
the
street.
As
mark
mentioned,
I
mean
there
are
a
number,
probably
four
or
five
lots
that
are
empty.
I
think
you
know
the
adjacent
building
to
the
left.
14
geneva
street
is
pretty
standard
kind
of
vinyl
siding
with
pvc
windows.
AF
So
we're
really
trying
to
set
a
president
of
doing
something
that
is
going
to
draw
people
to
the
street,
which
again
mark
said
was
you
know
it's
unpaved,
basically,
so
we're
trying
to
set
the
standard
of
a
contemporary
and
kind
of
inspiring
design,
and
that's
where
we
came
up
with
the
look.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
robinson.
How
are
the
drawings
the.
I
Drawings
are
good.
I
just
have
two
quick
questions
on
the
I
guess,
as
you're
facing
you're
you're,
you
know
you're
facing
the
building
right
hand.
Side
setback
obviously
is
very
little
a
foot
and
some
change.
Can
you
just
explain
to
me
that
that
sort
of
situation
as
it
relates
to
the
budding
building
to
your
right
and
then
I
guess
in
the
same,
I
just
want
to
understand
the
left
hand
side.
I
understand
you
looks
like
you
have
no
windows
on
that
side.
Does
they
have
budding
building
on
the
right?
I
AE
On
the
right
side,
there
are
no
fenestrations
to
our
building
on
the
right.
We
did
offer
that
six
inches
we've
subsequently
spoken
with
our
neighbor,
but
we
included
a
a
support
letter
from
jerry,
mcgrath
and
and
we
proposed
to
just
connect
them
and
waterproof
that
I
think
it
would
be
preferable
to
the
maintenance
issues
that
you
raised
and
on
the
left.
We
work
closely
with
that
group.
I
Okay,
no
further
questions
from
me.
A
X
Good
morning,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
board
lina
camelli
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
won
the
record
in
support
of
this
proposal
during
the
community
process.
This
proposal
received
strong
support
from
gog
street
citizen
association,
and
we
also
received
five
letters
of
support.
Thank
you.
AA
K
AG
Yes
hi,
my
name
is
nick
pundit
and
I'm
a
direct
butter
to
this
product
14a
geneva
street.
Thanks
for
the
presentation
I
just
wanted
to,
let
the
board
know
that
we
have
you
know:
we've
maintained
support
for
products
that
don't
have
issues
with
rear
setbacks
and
parking
and
height.
AG
We
want
to
be
on
record
that
the
this
unit
owner
here
has
been
pretty
forthcoming
with
us
and
they
worked
for
us
to
get
some
changes
done
in
terms
of
removing
the
windows
that
were
lining
up
with
our
bedroom
and
bathroom
windows,
and
so
we've
had
a
good
experience
working
with
chris
the
unit
owner
here,
as
well
as
mark
and
phil
the
team
we
yeah
we've
had
a
good
experience
and
we
appreciate
the
efforts
to
pave
the
road,
as
we
think
that's
really
a
necessity
for
this
area
here.
AG
So
we
just
wanted
to
let
the
board
know
that
we've
been,
you
know,
they've
been
inclusive
of
us
throughout
the
process
yeah.
Thank
you.
K
A
Y
Thank
you
bill
masterson,
65
lewis
street
I'd
like
to
appeal
to
the
developer
too.
I
must
have
missed
the
part
of
why
what
the
pile
of
rocks
are
in
front
of
the
development.
I'm
sorry
if
I
wasn't
tuned
into
that
pot,
but
I'd
love
to
be
able
to
see
those
pile
rocks
be
replaced
by
a
trio.
Two
that
street
is
pretty
tree
is
a
tree
desert.
There
really
aren't
any
trees
there.
I
understand
that
it's
a
dirt
road
when
they
pave
it.
Y
G
Yeah,
yes,
please,
mr
chair,
you
do
see
our
recommendations
now
without
prejudice.
Not
only
are
we
still
going
with
the
plan
east
boston,
but
this
address
was
before
you
in
august
of
last
year
with
the
same
proposal
and
we
recommended
denial
without
prejudice.
At
that
time,
the
board
had
recorded
had
recommended
approval
with
design
reveal
it
did
not
carry
so
it
automatically
was
denied.
So
not
only
are
is
the
bpda
keeping
consistent
with
playing
east
boston,
we're
consistent
with
the
recommendation
that
we
made
to
this
board
last
year.
A
Okay
to
the
applicant,
mr
hampton
raises
the
point
that
this
did
come
before
us.
Are
there
one
of
the?
Are
there
changes
with
the
current
proposal
from
what
was
before
the
board
before.
AE
Yes,
mr
eric,
thank
you,
we
changed
the
configuration
of
the
building,
the
way
that
the
parking
is
configured
with
the
way
that
the
building
is
sited.
In
addition,
we
we
made
modifications
to
allow
for,
for
the
accommodation
of
a
floodplain,
and
those
were
the
primary
things
which
led
to
the
significant
change.
H
I'll
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve,
with
a
proviso,
bpda
design,
review
a
proviso
for
increased
landscaping,
whether
it's
street
trees
or
or
up
on
that
roof
deck
area,
or
some
type
of
there's
no
green
space
anywhere
on
that
street,
and
that
the
apple
can
make
his
commitment
to
improve
this.
The
private
way
there
as
well.

M
Good
morning,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
richard
lin's,
245
sumner
street
east
boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
anthony
de
cesary,
mr
chairman,
this
is
a
pre-existing
three-unit
dwelling
in
the
eagle
hill
section
of
east
boston.
Our
proposal
would
involve
the
complete
renovation
of
the
existing
building,
adding
an
additional
unit
and
create
establishing
a
roof
deck,
as
we
can
see
from
the
overview,
there's
also
a
pre-existing
head
house
on
the
building
consistent
with
the
eagle
hill
civic
association's
requests
that
typically
involve
even
renovations
of
buildings.
M
We
will
be
removing
that
head
house
and
accessing
the
proposed
roof
deck
via
hatch,
although
this
does
propose
habitable
living
space
and
a
lower
level.
I
would
submit
that
the
clear
ceiling
height
for
this
level
is
eight
feet,
and
if
you
can
see
from
the
elevations
that
are
included
with
the
board's
plans,
there
is
a
relatively
good
size
walk
out
to
the
back
portion
of
the
of
the
property.
M
The
units
themselves
unit.
One
would
be
about
a
little
over
a
thousand
square
feet,
so
a
very
generously
sized
lower
level
unit
and
the
additional
units.
All
three
bedroom
would
be
a
little
over.
Eleven
hundred
square
feet,
we
do
accommodate
space
for
utilities
and
storage
at
the
lower
level,
located
closer
to
the
front
of
the
property,
and,
as
you
can
see
from
the
floor
layout,
we
do
show
a
pretty
again
pretty
generous
layout
for
that
lower
level.
M
With
respect
to
the
relief
that's
necessary.
This
is
also
located
three
f
2000
district
and
therefore
relief
to
change
the
occupants
in
three
to
four
would
be
necessary.
We
do
meet
the
minimum
lot
size.
A
lot
with
the
only
other
variances
we
would
require,
as
the
increase
in
the
far
up
to
a
1.4
would
be
in
excess
of
the
1.0.
That's
allowed
under
article
53.
M
with
respect
to
the
off-street
parking,
because
this
is
a
pre-existing
three-family
structure.
There
is
no
parking
currently
associated
with
it.
The
code
would
only
require
one
additional
parking
space
for
the
additional
unit
and
again
introducing
a
curb
cut
at
this
site
would
not
only
be
impractical
but
would
not
probably
serve
any
greater
good
for
the
surrounding
neighborhoods,
we'll
be
taking
away
off
street
parking
on
site.
A
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
basement
unit?
You
said,
there's
a
there's.
A
walkout
is
the.
Does
that
mean
that
the
that
the
grade
is
that
the
floor
is
at
grade
level.
M
Yeah
it's
slightly
below
grade
level.
Mr
chairman,
I
do
have
an
elevation
again.
My
lag
on
my
screen
is
not
showing
it,
but
I
believe
we
do
have
the
elevation
itself.
That
shows
the
rear
portion
of
the
property
with
the
portion
as
above
grade
as
well
as
how
much
is
below
grade.
M
Is
correct,
however,
as
I,
as
I
think,
has
been
past
practice
of
the
board
depending
upon
how
much
of
that
is
below
grade
is
what
what
has
been
relevant
to
the
conversation
about
lower
level
units,
and
in
this
case
we
would
have
code
compliant
windows
at
that
level
towards
the
rear.
We
also
would
have
available
light
throughout
the
rest
of
the
unit
as
well,
based
upon
where
the
stop
backs
are
at.
A
And
I
I
I
didn't
see
on
the
floor
are
the
basements
excuse
me:
are
the
bedrooms
towards
the
rear,
where
there's
where
there
is
a
lower
grade
or
toward
the
front
where
the
grade
is
higher.
M
A
Yeah
and
mr
robinson,
do
you
think
that
there
is.
I
They
appear,
they
do
appear
to
be
full-sized
windows
for
the
master.
It
looks
like
bedroom,
one
could
have
a
full-size
window
based
on
the
grade.
There
isn't
great
dimensions
to
floor,
but
it
does
show
you
know
that
the
grade
is
falling
away
and
it
appears
that's
the
case
in
my
review
of
the
site.
I
think
additionally,
this
does
have
two
actual
exits
from
the
lower
level
as
well.
I
Yes,
you
have
to
step
up
a
couple
steps
in
the
rear,
but
you
also
have
direct
access
to
the
street
side
as
well.
They're
introduced,
so
you
know,
I
think
it
seems
to
have
adequate
window
access
and
two
means
of
egress
from
the
lower
level
unit,
so
a
little
more
comfortable
with
this
condition
than
we've
seen
in
some
of
the
other
conditions.
M
A
You
sure
you
certainly
are
here
enough
before
the
board.
You
know
we've
been
very
consistent
about
this.
There
is
way
too
much
of
an
effort
to
try
to
cram
you
know
extra
rental
income
with
substandard
space
and
basements,
so
this
one
seems
like
it's
sort
of
just
on
the
cusp,
but
somewhat
better.
Okay,
mr
robinson,
any
other
issues
with
anointings.
X
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
in
a
tamil
with
the
mayor's
office
and
neighborhood
services,
we
would
like
to
go
on
the
refereeing
support
for
this
proposal.
The
office
of
neighborhood
services
held
a
navara's
meeting
on
may
25th
2021,
where
the
applicant
addressed
the
concerns
of
the
abortions
and
we
received
the
sec.
Sorry,
nine
letters
of
support
for
this
proposal.
Thank
you.
AA
E
K
And
mr
chair,
I
don't
have
any
raised
hands
at
the
moment.
Thank
you.
I
A
motion
to
approve.
A
Ready
for
review.
I
I
I
don't
believe
so.
Okay,
it's
pretty
straightforward!
Okay,
unless
mr
hampton
wants
a
proviso,
but
I
think
it's,
it
seems
pretty
straightforward.
A
All
those
in
favor
all
opposed
very
good.
You've
been
a
busy
fellow
mr
lin
saved.

E
M
Mr
chairman,
this
involves
not
probably
unlike
other
projects
that
we've
presented
here
at
the
board.
Today,
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
distinction
with
this
particular
project.
This
involves
a
pre-existing
two
unit
dwelling
as
well
as
a
vacant
2500
square
foot
lot.
Our
proposals
would
actually
combine
the
two
parcels
into
one
single
5
000
square
foot
lot
and
propose
a
six
unit,
residential
dwelling
with
nine
parking
spaces.
M
This
does
consist
of
a
corner
lock
condition.
So
a
number
of
the
violations
that
we
do
pick
up
here,
including
side
yard
and
rear
yard,
are
actually
because
of
the
orientation
of
the
existing
parcels
in
relationship
to
the
other
properties,
both
left
and
right.
This
is
located
in
the
harbour
view
neighborhood
in
the
immediate
vicinity.
There
is
a
mix
of
one
and
a
half
two
and
a
half
as
well
as
three-story
buildings.
M
A
number
of
projects
allocated
immediately
across
the
street
from
this
are
all
three-story
plus
in
height,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
throughout
this
community
process
is
try
to
respond
to
a
number
of
the
comments
and
concerns
that
we
did
here
from
direct
debtors,
a
number
of
which
are
here
today
to
speak
and
support
it
based
upon
that
process.
M
While
we
do
show
if
we
go
to
the
rendering
on
this
particular
project,
but
we
do
show
that
it
presents
as
three
stories.
It
is
only
31
feet
in
height
because
we
are
able
to
build
this
upgrade
and
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
are
occupying
the
extent
of
the
lot
that
we
are
is
based
upon
the
desire
to
see
a
number
of
offshore
parking
spaces
that
we're
also
including
you
can
also
see
from
the
site
plan
that
we
did
and
again
in
response
to
a
number
of
other
requests
and
concerns.
M
Add
in
some
buffering
and
open
space
around
the
site
to
the
best
we
can
for
a
corner,
lock,
condition,
and
in
this
case
one
of
the
other
things
that
we
were
able
to
do
successfully
is
to
pull
back
the
top
level.
So,
even
though
again
it
presents
as
three
stories
the
rear
portion
of
this
property
actually
pulls
back
and
does
not
occupy
the
full
third
level
of
the
building.
M
These
are
all
intended
to
be
two-bedroom
two-bath
units.
The
smallest
unit
is
860
square
feet
located
at
the
lower
level,
but
they're
all
relatively
generously
sized
over
a
thousand
square
feet
with
up
to
about
1300
square
feet
for
the
largest
unit.
As
I
said,
we
do
also
include
a
total
of
nine
parking
spaces
which
would
be
in
excess
of
this.
You
know
the
typical
one-to-one
parking
that
we
propose
on
props
to
the
size
based
upon
some
of
the
comments
and
concerns
that
we
did
here
in
the
neighborhood
and
again.
M
I
feel
that
that
is
reflective
in
the
amount
of
support
that
we
did
receive
for
this
project
after
after
making
those
changes
with
respect
to
the
relief,
even
though
we
are
combining
the
lots,
two,
a
two
f
district
does
permit
up
to
two
units
on
each
block.
We
are
proposing
six
and
again
this
would
be
a
five
thousand
square
foot
lot.
M
So
we
feel
that
the
density
here
is
pretty
consistent
with
what
you
see
in
the
storage
neighborhood,
our
width
and
frontage
would
actually
comply
is
we
would
have
now
a
total
of
50
square
feet,
I'm
at
50
feet
based
on
on
the
orientation
on
moore
street
and
then
over
100
feet.
As
you
come
down,
horus
height
of
our
building
and
again,
the
allowable
height
limit
in
this
district
is
35
feet
and
again
trying
to
be
somewhat
respectful
of
what
we
see
in
the
immediate
vicinity.
M
The
height
of
our
building
is
31
feet.
Six
inches.
There
is
no
head
house
proposed
on
this
building,
obviously
consistent
with
the
board's
position
on
these
types
of
these
types
of
projects.
Our
fai
is
a
1.5.
M
0.8
is
the
maximum
in
the
area
and
again
this
is
relatively
consistent
with
a
number
of
the
projects
that
have
been
approved
and
either
constructed
or
under
construction.
On
that
section
of
horus
street.
We
do
propose
and
then
again,
because
this
is
a
corner
lot,
our
setback
would
otherwise
be.
The
rear
yard
is
5.6
feet,
but
that
can
actually
be
viewed
as
a
side
yard
condition
based
upon
the
fact
that
this
is
a
corner
lot,
which
only
requires
a
five
foot
step
back.
M
So
when
we
dealing
with
corner
lots,
sometimes
we
get
into
that
sort
of
gray
area
as
to
what
would
be
the
side
yard
versus
what
would
be
the
rear
yard.
And
again,
I
think
the
important
thing
to
note
here
is
those
direct
debuggers
have
participated
in
this
process
and
do
support
what
we've
done
with
this
particular
project.
M
We
do
have
about
250
square
feet,
or
so,
when
you
look
at
the
decks
and
outdoor
spaces
for
open
space,
and
then
we
do
comply
with
the
parking
requirement
by
proposing
a
total
of
nine
parking
spaces,
five
of
which
are
full
size,
and
I
believe
four
are
compact,
and
I
can
certainly
confirm
that
number
as
well.
This
is
intended.
M
A
Okay,
so
I
I
must
say
I
am
sympathetic
to
the
perspective
that
mr
hampton
is
putting
forth.
We
are
approving
a
lot
of
units
in
east
boston
this
morning
you
know
you're
going
from
two
to
six
here:
we've
gone
the
vacant
lot,
yeah,
yeah,
so
understood
and
you've
got
pretty
weather.
You
know,
I
don't
want
to
dance
on
the
you
know,
angels,
on
the
head
of
a
pen
about
rare
yard
side
yard
on
the
corner
a
lot,
but
basically
you've
got
a
lot
of
a
lot
coverage.
A
One
and
I
mean
there's
no
denying
that
what
is
the?
How
does
that
work?
If
you
can
go
back
to
the
rendering?
How
does
the
lot
coverage
go
yeah?
How
is
that
the
setbacks
from
the
sidewalk
and
the
work
on
them
on
a
mobile
basis
with
the
other
buildings.
M
They
in
line
yeah,
so
we
we
can
meet
the
modal
setback
for
both.
I
I.
M
M
If
you're
looking
at
lahore
street
side,
mr
ehrlich,
we
do
create
a
buffer
not
only
between
the
embodying
property,
to
our
left
on
horus,
but
also
a
corner
that
will
allow
for
some
open
space,
landscaping
and
plant
and
again
in
direct
response
to
comments
that
we
heard
through
our
outreach
with
the
butters
yeah.
A
I
I
think
that
would
be
important
because
it
sort
of
sticks
out
not
like
a
sore
thumb,
but
I
mean
the
the
massing
is,
is
really
pretty
significantly
different
than
than
the
adjacent
buildings,
and
even
though
31
6
may
be
allowable
seems
to
be
considerably
higher
than
than
adjacent
buildings.
Is
that
right,
yeah.
M
And
I
probably-
and
I
maybe
we're
trying
to
illustrate
this
from
the
best
view
possible,
but
you
can
probably
see
in
the
overviews
the
structures
on
foreign
street
directly
across
the
street
from
this
include
two
30,
probably
35,
36
foot
structures,
as
well
as
a
32
foot
structure,
nine
unit
building
with
off
street
parking.
So
we
were
trying
to
keep
something
consistent
with
some
of
the
newer
development
along
that
side.
M
The
structure
to
our
right
on
moore
street,
as
you
can
probably
see
from
the
from
the
photos,
does
have
some
solar
panels
and
we
work
very
closely,
and
I
believe,
he's
on
the
call
today
to
study
and
analyze
and
make
sure
that
we
are
not
impacting
any
of
his
ability
to
grab
sunlight
for
those
solar
panels
and
we've
done
that
to
his
satisfaction
and
specifically
his
request.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
we
adjusted
the
building.
The
way
we
have
it.
M
I
The
the
drawings
are
good.
A
couple
quick
questions
is
so
is
that
ground
floor
unit?
Is
that
able
to
be
accessible
if
needed?
I
guess
I
know
you
don't
have
the
number
of
units
required,
but
it
seems
like
a
good
option
if,
if
required
or
possible,
that
would
be
nice.
W
I
Other
question
I
mean
I,
you
know,
I
agree
with
some
of
the
sort
of
you
know
the
sort
of
visual
aspect
of
it
feeling
large-
and
I
you
know
I
understand,
looks
like
level
three
you're
pushing
quite
a
way
back
from
the
adjacent
moor
street
building,
probably
to
achieve
some
of
that
solar,
as
I
would
sort
of
aspect-
and
I
certainly
don't
want
to
take
any
away
from
that
of
butter.
I
But
I
do
wonder
if
maybe
there's
a
little
bit
of
reallocation
of
massing
on
this
wood
kind
of
maybe
address
both
of
the
issues,
because
that
is
quite
a
big.
You
know
you're
you're
sitting
back
almost
20
feet,
which
I
can
appreciate,
and
I
guess
I
wonder
if
some
of
that
could
maybe
find
its
way
around
somewhere
else
to
kind
of
mitigate
some
of
the
sort
of
you
know,
half
the
sort
of
what
it
appears
to
be
on
the
street
edges
through.
M
The
chair,
I
believe
we
do
have
sufficient
room
to
pull
back
both
the
horus
and
more
massing
so
that
it
probably
has
a
feel
more
of
a
two-story
with
the
third
third
level
setback
on
the
streetscape
and
then
obviously
still
preserve
some
of
that
setback
for
that
butter
with
respect
to
the
solar
panel,
so
that
that
is
definitely
achievable.
I
E
Mr
chair
secretary
here,
mr
d'amico,
has
spoken
this
as
well.
So
just
put
his
comments
into
the
record
regarding
82
street.
He
said
that
btd
can
help
with
the
proper
signage,
to
help
remove
the
violation.
A
Okay,
all
right,
then,
let's
hear
from
public
testimony.
H
M
Through
the
chair,
if
I
could
just
respond
to
mr
giro,
we
understand
that
that
concern-
and
you
know
considering
that
this
is
a
corner
lot.
Rather
than
creating
a
gap,
if
you
will
between
whether
it
be
the
horror
street
side
or
the
moore
street
side
we're
trying
to
accommodate.
You
know
the
concerns
that
we're
also
raised
about
parking
in
order
to
address
the
parking.
M
That's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
at
and
I
feel
that,
the
again
the
direct
dividers,
both
left
and
right
of
us,
you
know
their
specific
issues
were
the
concerns
that
we
were
working
hard
to
address,
including
that
buffer
area
to
the
front
of
the
property.
A
Okay,
is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
X
We
recognize
that
our
concerns
in
the
community
regard
the
number
of
units
and
density,
but
during
the
community
process
the
applicant
worked
close
with
diabetes
and
addressed
several
of
the
concerns,
reducing
the
height
of
the
building,
the
number
of
stories
and
change
the
design
and
as
well
increase
the
ratio,
the
parking
ratio,
the
office
of
neighborhood
services
received
30
layers
of
support
for
our
barriers,
including
three
director
buyers
and
the
residents
of
hyderabad.
Thank
you.
AA
AC
E
Have
the
letters
as
well,
we
also
have
that
one
letter
of
opposition-
okay.
K
And
there's
a
chair,
we
do
have
two
raised
hands.
I
start
with
nicholas
nick
you've
been
on
muted.
Can
you
state
your
name,
and
I
just
saw
the
record
please.
T
A
Well,
we
appreciate
that,
but
we're
right
now
we're
asking
about
the
project
itself
so
you're
in
support.
I.
T
Hi
good
morning,
michael
garino
and
I
live
at
791
saratoga
street,
and
I
am
fully
in
support
of
the
82
moore
street
project,
as
well
as
everything
else
tequila
development
does.
He
brings
a
lot
of
likes
positive
things
in
the
neighborhood
he's
always
trying
to
listen
to
like
the
complaints,
and
I
guess
the
rebuttals
against
some
projects,
and
he
goes
above
and
beyond
and
tries
to
like
bring
everything
to
like
everyone's
satisfaction.
Thank.
K
You
michael,
I
have
no
additional
raised
hands.
Mr
jack.
I
Well,
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve.
G
A
Okay,
so
yeah
member
costallegros
had
announced
previously
that
he
had
a
previously
scheduled
call
from
11
to
11
30.,
so
we
will
be
a
six-member
board
until
he
until
he
reappears,
which
means
that
administrative
deferral
is
an
option
for
an
applicant.
I
assume,
mr
lind,
you
want
to
go
forward.
I
You
for
the
clarification
on
that,
so
you
know
I
I
agree
with
with
joe.
I
do
feel
it's
a
little
dense.
However,
I
do
think
there's
opportunity
here
and
it
sounds
like
the
community
has
rallied
around
this
project
with
that
which
I
respect
so
therefore
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
bpa
design
review,
specifically,
I
think,
related
to
be
a
butter
at
78
moore
street.
I
want
to
ensure
that
they
are
protected.
A
A
Okay,
so
all
those
in
favor
aye,
all
opposed
all
right
motion
passes.
Mr
hampton,
I
think
this
will.
I
think,
minister.
A
Okay,
so
mr
injera
is
opposed,
I
am
in
favor,
so
the
motion
passes
5-1
and,
mr
hampton,
I
think
that
mr
robinson's
motion
is
asking
for
aggressive
design
review
understood
thank.
E
E
One

this

E
K
AK
Meet
you
josh,
crow,
22
quail
run
in
canton.
Mass.
Can
folks
hear
me
first
of
all.
Yes,
yes,
thank
you
very
much.
I
am
representing
I'm
the
developer
and
owner
of
566
east
3rd
street,
accompanied
by
eric
zacherson,
who
is
my
architect
on
the
project.
The
goal
of
this
project
is
to
build
four
condo
units.
It
is
an
existing
three
family
dwelling
with
six
bedrooms,
there's
actually
a
seventh
bedroom
in
the
basement.
Where
someone
was
living
down
there,
there
was
actually
a
toilet
there.
I
have
worked
with
the
gate
of
heaven.
AK
Neighborhood
association
gave
them
a
personal
tour
of
the
building.
I
have
received
no
verbal
or
written
opposition
to
the
project,
but
we'll
hear
today.
If
there
is
any
the
concerns
on
the
parking
spaces,
we
went
to
the
rear
owners,
there's
only
one
way
where
you
could
actually
access
this
parcel
with
vehicles
and,
unfortunately,
after
making
two
generous
offers
to
the
rear,
parcel
owners
who
have
an
adjacent
driveway,
they
denied
my
offers.
They
did
not
want
to
allow
egress
for
this
project,
so
I'm
not
able
to
add
additional
parking
space.
AK
Unfortunately,
as
for
the
building
height,
we
are
asking
for
a
few
extra
feet
and
it
is
consistent
with
the
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood.
If
you
look
down
at
l
street,
specifically
43
47
and
49
l,
those
buildings
are
50
feet,
plus
in
height.
It
is
on
the
same
and
that's
between
east
2nd
and
east
3rd
street.
That
is
excessive
to
what
we
are
asking
for
on
this
project.
AK
As
for
usable
open
space,
we
are
very
close
with
the
decks
private
outdoor
space
for
each
unit,
and
the
intent
of
this
project
is
to
build
family
style
units
units.
One
and
four
in
particular,
would
be
family
friendly.
They
would
be
large
enough.
The
units
range
in
size
from
635
square
feet,
a
more
affordable
unit
to
1700
square
feet
on
the
lowest
floor,
which
would
accommodate
a
young
family
should
they
choose
to
move
in.
These
will
be
condo
quality.
AK
They
will
not
be
south
boston
party
pads,
they
will
be
sold
off
for
to,
hopefully
young
professionals
and
young
families,
and
I
would
like
to
open
up
for
any
questions
and
concerns
and
have
eric
also
run
through
any
details
of
the
project
which
you
folks
need.
Thank
you,
okay,.
A
W
Sorry,
the
existing
units
are
small,
two
bedroom
units
on
the
first
second
and
third
floors.
The
new
configuration
extends
the
building
to
the
rear
and
there
the
first
floor
unit
would
extend
down
to
through
the
basement,
which
is
roughly
walk
out
height,
but
with
a
large
open
to
blow
space.
On
the
first
floor
or
from
the
first
floor
to
the
basement,
and
then
the
second
floor
is
extended
back
the
third.
W
What
was
previously
a
third
floor
unit
is
going
to
have
an
extension
onto
the
fourth
floor
and
an
addition
is
added
in
the
rear
to
have
a
fourth
unit
that
would
exist
only
on
the
third
floor,
a
600
square
foot,
235
square
foot
unit
on
the
rear
of
the
third
floor.
A
Okay
and
the
basement,
the
occupied
space
in
the
basement
is
part
of
the
unit
on
the
first
floor
as
well.
There's
a
there's,
a
interior,
staircase.
W
That
is
correct.
It
is
a
the
kitchen
dining
living
room,
with
an
open
to
below
space
at
the
rear,
from
the
first
floor
to
kind
of
bring
down
a
lot
of
natural
light
into
the
living
and
dining
area,
and
the
bedrooms
for
that
unit
are
on
the
first
floor.
W
I
I
misspoke
it
it
is.
It
is
down
a
few
feet
from
it
from
the
rear
yeah.
It
is
almost
seven
feet
down
from
from
the
rear.
So
you
can
you
there's
a
basement
sphere
that
goes
out,
but
you
do
have
to
go
up
quite
a
bit
to
get
from
there.
A
W
At
the
front,
the
there's
grade
is
is
at
level
one,
but
the
front
of
the
basement
is
mechanical
and
unfinished
space.
Okay,
well.
A
W
Yes,
most
of
the
this
portion
will
actually
be
under
the
addition,
so
we
will
dig
down
a
portion
of
the
basement,
but
most
of
the
the
new
basement
most
of
the
unit
is
in
the
new
portion
of
the
basement
and
what
is
the
current
use
of
the
basement?
Mechanical
and
storage.
I
The
plans
are,
okay,
can
can
we
just
and
not
to
question
the
proponent?
Can
I
can
we
just
double
check?
Can
you
please
go
to
a
30
on
the
rear,
elevation
and
then
the
one
below?
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
all
on
the
same
page.
Here
there
you
go
so
it
just.
I
want
I'm
double
checking
your
dimensions.
So,
on
the
left
hand,
side
is
the
street
view.
Seven
foot
seven
is
dimension
here
from
the
street
sidewalk
to
the
basement
level.
I
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
the
drawings
are
accurate
for
the
context,
because
I
think
I
understand
the
program
element
where
the
common
area
is
on
the
lower
level.
There
is
appears
to
be
a
two-story
space
shown
with
those
large
windows
down,
but
it
is
not
as
far
below
great
in
the
rear
where
the
living
space
is
as
as
indicated.
W
W
I
was
looking
at
the
section
back
backwards,
you're
right,
it's
it's
pretty
shallower.
I
In
the
rear
and
then
just
confirmation,
how
far
is
the
fourth
floor
edition
set
back
on
the
from
the
street
on
the
front?
Please.
W
Let
me
double
check
that
from
the
existing
about
nine
foot,
two
inches
from
the
existing
front
of
the
building,
okay,.
I
No
other
questions.
Thank
you.

that
might
be

Okay,
well,
in
that
case,
I
think
what
we
need
to
do
is,
since
mr

doesn't
have
the
drawings
anyway.
Why
don't
we
just
entertain

either.

have
much

an
impact

we
we
did
notify
all

have
discussed
with
our
immediate
neighbors,
neither
of
whom
are
had
any
objection
for
the
excessive
far
we're
adding
about
100
square
feet
overall,
which
isn't
much
and
is,
is
kind
of
within
the
overall
envelope
of
the
building
for
the
portion,
that's
close
to
a
property
line
which
is
the
deck
extension

is
actually
farther

Our

again,
a

sizes,
18
920

each

Each

eight

approximately

Our
zoning
violations
are
as
follows:
our
street
parking
size.
AI
We
feel
that
we
were
cited
erroneously
for
that,
as
our
our
eight
parking
spaces
are
all
eight
and
a
half
by
twenty.
We
do
have
two
buildings
on
the
same
lot.
The
open
space
requirement
is
seven
thousand
square
feet.
We
have
approximately
and
the
side
yard
violation
is
because
between
the
buildings,
there's
10
feet,
space
and
20
is
required
I'll
I'll
turn
it
over
to
phil
of
seafield.
If
you
have
any
questions
comments
or
if
you
want
to
add
anything
to
it,.
L
A
AI
I
I
think
it
had
something
to
do
with
taking
some
away
from
the
open
space.
Okay,
this
is
create
department.
If
you
look
at
the
site
plan,
go
back
up
to
the
top.
All
of
the
parking
spaces
are
in
the
rear
of
the
two
properties,
and
we
do
have
a
sizable
proposed.
Driveway
coming
up
the
right
hand,
side,
which
is
what
is
the.
A
A
20
feet
wide
yeah.
Why
is
it
that
wideness
or
small.
A
I
Yeah,
I'm
at
I'm
on
street
view
and
I
believe
it
actually
looks
like
a
very
small
curb
cut
to
this
edge
of
the
property.
But
there
is
two
and
the
other
one
is
in
looks
to
be
in
the
middle.
So
I'm
not
sure
it
looks
as
if
this
curb
cuts
being
proposed
to
be
moved
and
expanded.
D
A
AI
Well,
we
wanted
so
that
cars
should
come
in
and
out
in
time,
so
that
the
traffic
flow
to
the
rear
of
the
property
with
the
parking
is
consistent.
A
I
Are
fine,
I
I
actually
don't
have
any
questions
on
the
actual
buildings.
Obviously
I
the
site
plan,
I
think,
is
needs
a
bit
of
work.
It's
in
it's
in
a
green
belt
overlay
district
as
well.
So
I
think,
if
the
board's
going
to
proceed
with
approving
us,
I
think
it
will
need
a
site
plan
review
and
potentially
a
landscape
architect
to
get
on
and
kind
of,
really
get
this
to
sort
of
work.
Well
with
its
context,
which
is
green.
E
E
A
Yeah
they
may
be
fine.
I
think
they're
actually
a
little
excessive,
but
we'll
get
to
that.
Okay,
any
questions
from
the
board.
A
AS
Good
morning,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
danielle
fonseca
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
our
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
6971
reidville
street
attorney,
derek
small,
connected
and
notified
all
the
butters
of
the
meeting
that
we
conducted
and
held
on
july
28th
during
the
meeting
community
members
were
pleased
to
hear
that
the
applicants
have
made
some
significant
adjustments
to
the
project
based
on
feedback
from
the
community
and
iterations
were
made
from
the
original
design,
parking
density
and
the
12
units
that
were
proposed
to
what
is
currently
being
presented
today.
AS
Not
only
will
there
be
proposed
eight
new
off-street
parking
spaces
that
will
benefit
the
area,
but
additionally,
planning
the
shrubs
landscaping
and
planting
new
trees
on
the
on
the
plaza
valley.
Parkway
side
of
the
property
will
be
a
great
benefit
to
the
community.
Our
office
has
received
no
letters
of
support
or
opposition
for
this
proposal,
and
at
this
time
we
do
not
feel
it
will
negatively
impact
the
community.
So
we
would
like
to
go
on
record
and
support.
Thank
you.
E
K
K
Okay,
caller
five,
six
one,
seven,
three,
six
four
you've
been
unmuted.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
records?
Please.
AL
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
for
your
time,
not
not
opposed
to
the
concept
of
two
two
families
at
this
location,
but
I'm
quite
troubled
that
would
that
they
have
a
violation
that
needn't
be
there's.
No
reason
why
this
apostle,
this
sponsor
should
not
be
subdivided
into
two
halves
with
the
two
family
on
each
one.
AL
I'm
concerned
that
that
that
we're
not
doing
this
in
a
logical
manner
why
they
are
seeking
an
extra
violation
when
it
needn't
be.
AL
I'm
concerned
that
down
the
road
will
ever
request
our
own
years
down
the
world
water
and
crush
the
subdivided
later
on,
with
a
large
parcel
still
available
to
perhaps
put
an
additional
building
on.
Okay,
we
can
read
those
fears
if
they
just
do
a
logical,
simple
subdivision.
No
talk
a
simple
subdivision
in
half
with
the
two
family.
E
Thank
you
secretary
here.
Basically,
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
AT
E
A
All
right,
but
can
I
have
a
motion
please.
AI
As
mayor's
office
of
neighbors
services
stated,
this
project
has
gone
from
12
to
six
and
now
we're
down
to
four
and
that's
what
community
folks
asked
us
to
present,
which
was
four
to
four
units
to
two
families
on
the
on
the
property.
So
that's
what
we
ended
up
with
okay,.
P
N
I'm
sorry
to
chime
in
on
this
late,
I'm
actually
on
for
another
hearing.
That's
coming
up
later
in
the
11
o'clock
hearings.
I
do
want
to
correct
the
record
that
my
letter
of
opposition
was
for
the
previous
proposal,
which
was
before
the
board
that
was
denied.
I
have
not
submitted
a
letter.
H
All
right,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
heavy
bpda
design
review
with
landscaping,
screening
buffering
narrowing
the
driveway,
maybe
maybe
even
separating
the
buildings
a
little
further
apart
from
each
other,
but
heavy
heavy
review
with
that.
A
I
mean
there's
really
there's
really
no
reason
that
we,
I
don't
think
I
can't
recall
us
approving
a
residential
project
with
dr
with
in-out
access
from
the
driveway.
There's
no
reason
for
it
to
be
beyond
12
feet:
yeah
10
to
12,
feet,
standard
and,
and
then
I
could.
Then
I
could
allow
for
a
significant
amount
of
landscaping
with
that
expedition.
10
feet.
I
I
second
that
and
emphasize
the
concern
on
the
site
planning.
I
think
this
could
be
a
great
project
for
the
community
and
I
think
it
just
needs
some
work.
So,
okay,.
A
A
AD
A
Okay,
mr,
are
you
back?
I
am
present
okay,
mr
ruggiero.

Hello,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
I
think
I
can
now
officially
say
good
afternoon
by
about
two
minutes:
I've
josh
zaikum
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant,
mr
carlos
castillo,
who
is
going
to
present
present
his
application
for
dispensary
at
this
location.
Thank
you.
AB
I
am
waiting
for
our
presentation
to
load
up.
We
are
proposing
a
1200
square
foot
cannabis,
dispensary
directly
in
front
of
nugent
station
9
a.m,
to
11
p.m.
Monday,
through
sunday,
our
location
is
on
a
commercial
district,
three
stores
down
from
silver
slipper
and
directly
across
from
arizona
pizza
and
bank
of
america.
In
addition
to
being
in
front
of
the
station,
we
have
secured
an
exclusive
parking
agreement
with
the
bailey's
lot,
so
we're
the
only
cannabis
dispensary
that
that
has
parking
for
its
customers.
They
can
park
there
for
free
and
walk
over.
AB
AB
AB
This
is
our
floor
plan.
It's
about
1200
square
feet
on
the
first
floor,
retail,
with
the
interest
that
come
in
where
you
get
your
id
checked
before
you
enter
the
premises,
we'll
check
ids
again
at
the
point
of
sale
and
then
a
separate
door
for
an
exit.
The
basement
is
pretty
pretty
basic.
We
half
of
it
is
a
volt.
AB
AB
Bias
is
the
best
location,
we're
not
near
any
school
zones,
we're
directly
in
front
of
the
station,
we're
away
from
cultural
centers,
fire
station,
the
churches
and,
most
importantly,
we
have
parking
next
slide.
Please
community
and
civic
engagement.
Our
track
record
reflects
our
community
commitment.
I've
been
the
treasurer
for
roxbury
square
main
street,
the
last
seven
years,
almost
eight.
Now
previously
w
square
main
street.
I've
been
on
the
board
boat
in
geneva
the
past
seven
years.
We
donate
to
a
lot
of
organizations.
AB
AB
AB
So
we
have
a
proven
history
of
working
with
boston.
We've
received
certificates
of
appreciation
from
boston
police,
our
store
in
the
square
in
2018
was
nominated
awarded
business
of
the
year
and
for
our
work
in
affordable
housing.
We
received
an
award
from
the
massachusetts
black
and
latino
legislative
caucus
from
the
state
house
next
slide.
Please,
how
will
the
community
benefit
so
we
will
use
10
of
our
profits
to
create
a
fund
to
support
organizations
in
roxbury.
Dorchester
includes
some
of
the
ones
we
listed
rock
spring
main
street
boat
in
geneva,
eggleston
main
street.
AB
Most
advocate
we've
been
paying
for
some
mural
projects
around
the
square.
We
are
also
investing
in
a
black
group
support
and
foster
mentorship
in
the
area.
Next
slide.
Please.
AB
We
created
a
program
originally
started
on
a
construction
site
called
pathways
to
home
ownership
and
small
business
mentorship,
and
essentially,
we
are
providing
four
classes
a
year
for
first-time
home
buyers
first
to
our
employees,
but
also
to
the
community
at
the
same
time,
and
our
attorney
will
assist
with
with
home
closings
we're
working
with
a
local
broker,
who
manages
some
of
our
properties
now
to
assist
people
in
roxbury
to
find
homes,
and
also
our
small
business.
Mentorship
program
is
kind
of
creative
to
help.
AB
AB
Elderly
services,
so
just
a
few
doors
down
from
the
location.
We
have
59
elderly
residents,
which
we
currently
support
and
do
about
two
events:
a
year
for
our
location,
we're
providing
expressing
services
to
them
and
guided
shopping.
They
are
active
they
shop
at
one
of
our
stores.
Now,
so
we
have
a
good
relationship.
We
thought
it'd
be
good
to
kind
of
bridge
that
connection
with
this
dispensary
next
slide.
Please.
AB
Transportation
and
delivery
of
product
all
delivery
vehicles
will
contact
our
on-site
security
personnel
when
they
are
30
minutes
away
from
the
arrival
security
patrol
exterior
of
the
store
and
the
back
alleyway.
If
there
are
any
identified,
risks
will
instruct
the
vehicle
to
divert

a
delivery
security
will
greet
the
delivery
vehicle
or
remain
with
the
vehicle,
while
our
staff
unloads
and
confirms
the
delivery
exactly
matches
the
manifest
all
delivery
vehicles
will
be
staffed
with
two
agents.
AB
One
would
always
remain
in
the
vehicle
while
it
contains
marijuana
products,
delivery
routes
will
be
randomized,
product
will
not
be
visible
and
will
be
sealed,
labeled
and
tampered
resistant
packaging.
All
deliveries
will
be
video
recorded
and
video
will
be
retained
for
90
days
next
slide.
Please
for
our
security
overview.
Wendell
delk
of
universal
security
is
our
contractor.
He
will
be
working
with
jerry,
smart
jerry's,
a
retired
boston,
police
officer,
very
familiar
with
b2
lives
in
roxbury
was
on
the
force
for
almost
30
years,
and
he
will
be
overseeing
the
security
of
this
location.
AB
We
have
a
zero
tolerance
for
diversion
on-site
consumption
and
loitering
within
the
immediate
neighborhood.
Instituting
a
permanent
ban
list
for
any
violators.
Security
will
be
the
first
to
arrive
in
the
last
to
leave
our
establishment
every
day
and
be
fully

to
ensure
the
safety
of
our
customers,
employees
and
neighbors
next
slide.
Please.
AB
Protecting
you

we're
committed
to
doing
everything
possible
to
prevent

for
all
customers

Utilizing
id
science
state-of-the-art
technology
for

before
they
enter

This
is
the
same
technology
used
by
massport
at
logan.
AB
AB
We
will
have
no
product
that
is
packaged
in
a
manner
to
be
attracted
to
miners.
All
product
will
be
in
child

and
customers
will
be
provided
with
education
on
safe
storage
and
consumption
of
cannabis
products,
and
we
have
committed
to
our
neighbors
to
have
signage
at
the
exit.
Tour
highlighting
public
consumption
again
is
illegal.
AB
Next
slide,
please
our
employment
plan.
You
know
we
are
an
equal
opportunity,
employer
dedicated
to
hiring
local
and
diverse
talent.
We
understand
its
success
that
our
hiring
and
personnel
qualities
are
a
crucial
part
of
attracting
retaining
promoting
the
most
qualified
individuals
with
variety
of
life
experiences,
so
we're
committed
to
creating
career
opportunities,
not
just
a
job
for
boston
residents
that
include
total
compensation
that
exceeds
any
living
wage.
Our
staff
will
have
access
to
all
of
our
community
benefits
and
our
pathways
to
home
ownership.
AB
AB
This
is
just
a
view,
a
few
of
our
supporters,
all
of
our
butters
here
in
blue
the
orange
pretty
substantial
support.
We
didn't
get
a
chance
to
highlight
more
in
blue
as
their
support
continuing
to
come
in
next
slide.
Please.
AB
So
elected
officials
and
neighborhood
organizations
in
support,
we
have
support
from
city
council
at
large
through
them
here,
city
council,
at
large,
anissa,
sabi
george,
our
state
representative,
china
tyler,
our
state
representative,
liz
miranda,
non-opposition
from
our
district
city
councilor,
and
some
of
the
neighborhood
organizations
that
we
have
letters
of
support
from
include
roxbury
path
forward,
orchard
gardens,
language
association,
gabriel
associates
of
boston,
mount
pleasant,
forest
feinstein
and
tommy's
rocks
neighborhood
association
next
slide,
please.
AB
This
is
just
a
list
of
some
of
the
businesses
that
have
brought
us
that
are
in
support
so
with
slip
purposes
all
familiar
names
as
far
as
tropical
foods.
Some
of
the
landlords
are
also
listed
here
in
the
area
that
we
reach
out
to
next
slide.
Please.
A
Okay,
well,
thank
you
for
that
comprehensive
presentation.
So,
let's
let
me
get
back
to
just
some
of
the
specifics
about
the
the
space
itself.
How
many
square
feet
did
you
say
the
space
would
be
the
total.
AB
Square
footage,
retail
and
storage
is
2400.
It
actually
feels
a
little
smaller,
but
it's
lifted
technically.
It's
2
400
square
feet.
A
So
that's
12
up
that's
12
and
12
on
two
on
two
floors:
right,
correct
and
the
storage
is
down
below
and
the
retail
is
ground
level,
ground
level,
retail,
okay,
how
many
so
1200
square
feet?
How
many
people
can
you
accommodate
at
any
given
time?
20
people
is
our
maximum
occupancy?
Okay
and
are
you
taking
online
orders,
as
well
as
in
person.
AB
Both
yeah
we're
taking
so
the
way
we
kind
of
set
it
up
instead
of
the
pharmacy
approach
that
you
see
as
some
dispensary
that
people
order
and
then
they
package
it,
we
set
up
our
stations
to
kind
of
speed
the
process
of
coming
in
and
out.
So
when
you
first
come
in,
we
have
online
orders,
we
have
a
small
console
desk,
but
then
the
other
stations
to
the
right
are
essentially
what
I
call.
AB
I
know
what
I
want,
so
you
can
go
right
to
it
and
get
it
get
in
and
out
and
the
cashier
what
they
call
in
the
cannabis
industry:
the
butt
tenders.
Everything
is
at
arm's
length.
So
we
set
this
up
because
we're
we're
used
to
dealing
with
high
traffic
next
door.
So
we
realize
that
if
people
can
come
in
and
the
cashier
or
the
bartender
can
just
give
them
what
they're
asking
for
we
can
get
folks
in
and
out
of
there
pretty
quickly.
A
Okay
and
then
let
me
ask
you
about
you:
had
a
slide
on
deliveries,
the
one
that
the
piece
of
information
that
I
didn't
see
was
what
the
times
of
deliveries
are.
I
mean
you
know.
Nubian
square
is
obviously
a
very
highly
trafficked
area
and
I
I
think
it
would
be
wise
to
try
to
do
it
off
off-peak
hours.
A
AB
A
To
do
it
now,
when
we're
open
and
and
one
of
your
slides
talked
about
security,
can
you
summarize
again
what
the
security
experience
will
be
for
someone
either
just
walking
down
the
street
as
a
bystander
or
someone
walking
in
so
so,
security.
AB
Is
probably
the
most
one
of
the
most
important
things
on
this
neighborhood
by
adding
security?
If
we
are
approved
at
this
location,
we
now
have
security
on
this
entire
block,
so
we
hope
we're
having
a
person
outside
of
the
store
at
all
times
to
monitor,
not
just
the
store
but
the
entire
block
and
then
additional
security
inside.
So
this
way
see.
AB
Entryway
of
the
location,
but
there
they
are
they're,
scheduled
to
monitor
the
entire
block.
If
we
need
additional
security,
we
will
bring
another
person
on
staff
depending
on
how
attractive
our
location
is
or
the
number
of
customers,
but
essentially
there
will
be
somebody
outside
at
all
times
at
this
location,.
AV
And
someone
inside
as
well,
mr
chairman,
if
that,
if
that
wasn't
clear
to
security
staff
at
all
times
of
opening.
AB
All
right
and
we've
been
working
with
the
transit
police
bank
of
america,
security
and
and
boston
police,
and
we
feel
that
by
adding
security
to
this
block
now
we
have
security
on
this
block
across
the
street,
we're
working
alongside
transit
police,
which
is
directly
in
front
of
us
and
then
there's
a
security
guard
at
the
next
block
in
bank
of
america.
So
now
this
whole
I
mean
a
citizen's
bank.
AB
So
now
we
have
four
blocks
that
have
private
security
and
also
public
security,
but
with
the
transit
police
monitoring,
the
area.
What.
A
AB
Do
not
want
to
have
lines
outside
we're,
seeing
with
what
we've
noticed
in
the
area
is
that
there
aren't
many
lines
outside
at
these
at
these
locations
these
days,
but
we
are
redirecting
folks
to
shop
in
the
area.
If
we
do
have
a
line,
we
I'm
sorry.
AB
I
mean
they
they
can
park
for
as
long
as
they
need
to
shop
in
the
area
and
then
come
back
to
our
establishing.
We
don't
anticipate
having
long
lives,
but
we
are
with
our
security
team
thinking
that
our
first
month
or
two
of
operations,
we
should
also
have
a
police
detail.
So
those
are
discussions
that
we're
having
and
you
know,
no
big
commitments.
Yet
until
you
know
we
are
on
the
other
side
of
the
curve
here
and.
AV
Mr
chair,
you
know
the
security
adviser
for
this
dispensary,
jerry
smart,
who
mr
castillo
mentioned
earlier,
was
the
formerly
had
the
foot,
beat
in
nubian
square
and
was
the
b2
community
service
officer
for
many
years,
so
he's
going
to
be
overseeing
the
individual
security
staff
who
are
on
site
but
as
well
as
the
sort
of
broader
security
strategy,
and
you
know
making
sure
that
there's
coordination
with
the
other
agencies,
but
as
well
as
if
you
know
they
need
additional
staffer
on
security.
AV
A
AB
We
for
different
shifts.
Obviously
our
capacity
is
20
folks,
but
we
we're
not
going
to
have.
You
know
20
staff
at
any
one
given
time
it's
a
small
area,
so
we
don't
anticipate
having
more
than
four
to
six
people
in
any
given
shift.
So.
AB
A
combination,
okay,
you
know
we
like
the
idea,
I'm
more
full-time,
but
obviously
there's
you
know
day
shift
night
shift
and
we
can
shift
and
that's
where
the
part
time
is
kind
of
coming.
A
Okay
and
now
for
the
64
000
question
the
buffer
zone.
What
what
is
within
a
half
mile
of
your
proposal
so.
AB
We
we
are
not
within
any
buffer
zones
of
any
schools.
There
was
an
applicant
that
created
a
buffer
zone
for
us
and
that's
the
only
buffer
zone.
AV
Mr
chairman,
if
I
can
interject,
there
is
an
applicant
that
this
board
heard,
I
believe,
last
month
that
the
cannabis
board
had
approved,
that
was
within
half
a
mile.
The
board
at
that
time
denied
the
applicant
so
to
be
quite
frank:
we're
not
100
clear
on
the
current
buffer
zone
status
of
this
application.
If
this,
if
the
board
had
approved
or
more
recently,
the
cannabis
board
had
a
second
hca
in
the
area,
there
would
be
the
standard
buffer
zone
challenge.
AV
AV
I
think
in
particular
the
parking
that
he's
mentioned,
that
this
location
has
to
make
sure
there's
not
a
negative
impact
and
if
you'll
look
to
believe
that
about
300
letters
of
support,
including
many
of
the
civic
associations
and
elected
officials,
feel
that
this
this
particular
applicant
buffer
zone
or
not
makes
sense
for
this
location
makes
sense
for
the
neighborhood
base,
based
both
on
mr
castillo's
long
track
record
in
the
community,
but
also
the
physical
location
and
sort
of
the
aspects.
I
think
in
particular,
the
parking
has
really
been
well
received
and.
A
The
yeah
the
whole
I
mean
the
buffer
zone
issue
has
been
driving
me
crazy,
or
some
like
that.
Has
this
proposal
been
before
the
cannabis
board.
AV
The
cannabis
board
unanimously
approved
this
in
july
and.
A
All
right,
okay,
so
I
mean
I
have
to
say,
as
as
I
mean,
I've
said
this
before
I'll
say
it
again
as
a
zoning
board.
Our
mission
is
to
try
to
carry
out
city
policy
with
respect
to
this
new
industry.
The
problem
has
been
that
city
policy
is
a
moving
target
and
for
a
while,
the
the
half
mile
buffer
zone
seemed
like
it
was
engraved
in
stone.
Now
it's
engraved
in
quicksand.
A
You
know
the
issue
of
the.
How
you
measure
to
the
schools
has
been
changed.
The
I
mean
it
just.
I
don't
even
know
what
city
policy
is
anymore
and
I
don't
know
how
we
are
expected
to
make
consistent
level
of
levels
of
decision
the.
So
you
know
and
then
the
issue
of
the
countess
board.
You
know
the
issue
of
equity
applicants
is
a
laudable
goal,
but
you
know
that
seems
to
make
the
buffer
zone
stuff
go
away.
A
It's
just
it's
just
very
confusing,
and
so
I
think
the
only
way
for
us
to
do
this
in
any
kind
of
way
that
maintains
integrity
just
to
deal
with
each
project
on
its
own
merits
and
and
its
own
value.
So
I'm
throwing
my
hands
up
on
the
buffer
zone
issue.
To
be
quite
honest,
so
I'll
leave
it
at
that,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
plans.
I
The
plans
are
a
little
thin,
obviously
based
on
sort
of
what
we're
seeing.
I
just
had
a
couple
quick
questions.
I
do
thank
the
proponent
for
the
presentation
and
sort
of
I
think,
a
great
understanding
of
connection
to
the
community
just
to
confirm.
So
there
is
a
small
alleyway
on
the
rear
side.
Is
that
where
you
would
bring
in
your
deliveries?
Is
that
what
the
sort
of
plan
is,
or
I
just
want
to
make
sure?
I
don't
hear
that.
AB
We
prefer
to
bring
them
in
through
the
front
before
we
open.
If
we
were
in
a
situation
where
we
couldn't,
we
definitely
have
access.
Let's
say
somebody
was
running
behind
and
we
had
to
open.
We
would
take
it
into
the
rear.
I
I
understand
okay
and
then
I
guess
my
other
thing,
I'm
an
architect
and
and
design
matters
to
me.
You
know
there
is
no
scope
shown
for
any
exterior
facade
work.
I
think
you
know
there's
some.
The
building
next
door
is
quite
handsome
and
I
think
the
street
has
some
qualities
that
I
think
it
would
be
great
if
if
this
is
approved
or
you
move
forward
that,
I
think
that
we'd
like
to
see,
I
think
the
enhancement
of
the
the
facade
work
be
consistent
with
the
street.
We.
AB
Own
all
the
buildings
adjacent
to
this,
we
that
handsome
building
we
worked
with
the
city.
We
also
did
the
construction.
We
do
the
construction
in-house
for
for
these
projects
and
we're
working
with
the
city
right
now
on
the
last
corner
building
it
was
delayed
because
of
kobe
our
particular
building
our
subject.
Building
for
the
dispensary
we're
kind
of
at
a
standstill
because
we
are,
you
know
today
determines
whether
we
are
approved
or
not.
AB
So
we
do
not
want
to
jump
the
gun,
we're
kind
of
waiting
to
see
you
know.
If
we
are
approved,
then
we
can
take
the
next
steps
to
work
on
the
right
design
for
the
facade
of
it,
but
I
think
it's
gonna
be
really
impactful
to
change
in
the
facade
of
this
property
adjacent
to
two.
What
I
call
kind
of
historic
votes.
A
Thank
you,
mr
castillo.
I
think
mr
robinson's
point
is
that
for
us
to
approve
this
project,
one
of
the
things
that
we
consider
is
design,
and
so
we
don't
have
a
proposed
exterior
view
signage
or
whatever,
and
it
would
be.
It
would
be
that
if
we
were
to
approve
it,
we
would
want
to
do
a
contingent
on
on
a
exterior
facade.
That
is
acceptable.
AB
Correct
we're
working
right,
they
just
actually,
while
we
were
holding
this
morning
just
called
to
touch
base
on
the
corner,
building
that
you
can
only
see
in
the
gray
area
there.
So
we
work
closely
with
with
aaron
scheifer's
office
on
the
facade
improvements
we
actually
like
one
other
project
going
on
in
the
area
right.
AW
Good
afternoon,
chairman
of
members
of
the
board,
this
is
jason
gent
from
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services.
I'd
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
They
have
had
outstanding
and
very
really
good
community
support
for
this
proposal.
Their
butters
meeting
was
held
on
june,
2nd,
where
there
was
no
opposition
raised
and,
as
carlos
has
said,
he
has
had
those
conversations
with
people
offline
to
reach
out
and
continuous
reach
out
to
the
people
who
were
and
did
have
any
questions.
AW
K
Q
K
Just
go
to
kevin
higgins:
kevin
you've
been
on
muted.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please.
AX
AX
The
applicant
has
engaged
in
a
vigorous
community
outreach
process
and
has
exceeded
expectations
of
constituents,
civic
leaders
and
abutters
in
the
neighborhood
and
the
applicant
has
a
long
history
of
operating
small
businesses
that
really
contribute
to
and
benefit
the
abutting
neighborhoods.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Okay,.
K
I
also
have
tai
from
council
of
woods
office.
Let
me
just
go
back
to
the
name.
E
Mr
chair
secretary,
here,
while
we're
waiting,
we
have
letters
of
support
as
well.
K
I'm
not
sure
if
she
logged
out
and
just
trying
to
log
back
in,
but
I
do
have
additional
raised
hands
here.
Roxbury
main
streets
you've
been
in
mutual.
Can
you
get
your
name
and
address
to
the
record.
P
Thank
you.
This
is
robert
george
executive
director
for
roxbury
main
street
2343,
washington
street,
mr
chairman
and
members
of
the
board.
We
fully
endorsed
this
project.
They
have
both
voted
to
support
and
endorse
the
cannabis
industry
in
nubian
square.
We
see
this
as
another,
the
verification
of
the
business
that
we
need
to
have
in
the
district
and
attract
significant
new
visitors
and
shoppers
to
the
square.
P
B
B
So
we
really
are
supportive
of
the
fact
that
he
meets
all
of
the
requirements
in
the
zoning
code.
He
is
not
within
500
feet
of
a
school.
He
is
not
within
half
of
a
mile
of
and
approved
a
presently
approved
cannabis
business
and
the
fact
that
he
took
the
time
to
go
out
and
to
get
support
from
people.
B
We
are
really
watching
because
I
think
equity
to
some
people
means
that
too
many
businesses
selling
this
product
will
be
in
roxbury,
because
we
already
have
an
overpresence
of
liquor
stores
and
so
we're
just
going
to
ask
that
this
board
and
any
board
that
participates
in
the
approval
of
cannabis
businesses
to
really
think
about
following
the
same
rules
and
guidelines
in
roxbury
that
you
know
we're
following
in
other
communities.
So
thank
you
very
much.
K
Hey
we
have
tina
marie
you've
been
on
muted.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please.
AU
Greetings,
this
is
tina
marie
my
address
is
37
faster
street
and
I'm
a
community
member,
and
I
am
full
support
of
this
project.
I
would
like
to
echo
everything
that
everyone
else
shared
and
also
show
up
appreciation,
particularly
for
the
security
and
their
ability
to
sort
of
monitor
that
block.
I
think
that
that
just
demonstrates
sort
of
the
applicant's
thinking
in
a
holistic
framework
about
the
community,
so
just
showing
appreciation
and
support
for
that.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
K
AP
Sorry
about
that,
I
think
that
the
chair
and
I
are
having
the
same
desk.
We
have
bad
karma
today,
you
and
I
okay,
so
so
I
I
feel
your
your
pain
here
so
just
wanted
to
thank
the
chair
and
the
board
for
the
record.
I
am
julia
mejia,
I'm
city
councilor
at
large,
and
I
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
and
support
part
of
this
project
to
change
the
occupancy
to
2363
washington
street
in
bean
square,
from
store
to
canada.
This
dispensary,
based
on
my
personal
experience.

AY
Hi
victor
chang,
419
boylston
street.
I
just
want
to
quickly
say
that
I
could
not
more
strongly
endorse
carlos
castillo
on
this
project.
I've
known
him
as
a
business
operator
and
as
an
owner
operator
of
this
proposed
business.
You
know
that
he's
going
to
do
the
right
thing
and
be
a
positive
contribution
to
the
neighborhood
so
again
could
not
endorse
this
more
strongly.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
I
want
to
just
mr
ruggiero
what
I'd
like
to
add
is
that
we
hold
signature
until
we
receive
an
elevation
showing
what
the
facade
and
signage
will
look
like.
But
you
accept
that
as
an
amendment.
I
What
if
we,
what
if
we
put
in
I
mean
it,
sounds
like
he
will
be
working
with
main
streets
on
that
I
mean
I
feel
like
we
could
do
a
proviso
that
a
pda
design
review
in
conjunction
with
main
streets,
and
I
don't
think
we
need
to
come
back
for
a
signature
on
on
that,
based
on
looking
at
what
the
properties
the
proponent
has
already
completed
in
the
neighborhood
as
well
as
his
stature
in
the
neighborhood,
I
think
will
hold
him
more
accountable.
To
be
honest,
so
I'm
comfortable
with
that.
A
That's
fine,
okay,
so
the
emotions
are
made
to
approve,
with
bpda
design
review
in
conjunction
with
main
streets
for
the
facade.
Is
there
a
second
I'll?
Second,
that
all
those
in
favor
aye
aye?
All
those
opposed
motion
passes
good.
E
AZ
Mr
secretary
yeah,
this
is
attorney
jeff
drago
I
just
I
was
wondering
the
composition
of
the
board
if
it
was
still
a
six
member.
I
just.
E
You,
mr
chairman,
we're
all
here.
This
is
for
eleven
o'clock
only,
but
now
I'm
going
to
go
to

Are
there
any
deferrals
with
charles
12

address
19

Mr
secretary
okay,
give
me
two
seconds
to
call
it
in
for
the

calling
doa

28

digging
a
deferral
here.
We
were
just
recently
brought
on
board
for
this
project.
At
the
end
of
last
week,
we
noticed
there
was
a
technical
issue
with
the
plans
that
are
in
front
of
the
board
and
we're
asking
the
architect
to
update
the
plan,
have
them
re-reviewed
and
stamped
by
isd
before
being
heard
by
the
board.
A
Kids,
all
those
in
favor
aye,
opposed
motion
passes.
E
E
BB
E
W
We
resubmitted
the
drawings
to
isd
and
they
noticed
that
one
of
the
changes
that
we
had
made
during
the
neighborhood
process
added
a
variance,
and
they
asked
us
to
defer
so
that
they
could
make
public
notice
of
this
additional
variance,
which
would
be
the
fact
that
they
are
expanding
the
head
houses
and
that
triggers
a
height

violation.

G
Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board
attorney
matt
eckel,
with
drego
and
toscano,
the
business
address
of
11
beacon
street
in
boston
with
me
on.
The
call
today
are
dwayne
boyce
and
adler,
bernadine
from
norfolk
design
and
construction
and
chris
through
from
rca
the
project.
Architects,
as
mentioned
this
project,
involves
four
separate
lots,
as
you
can
see
on
the
screen
there
they
are
outlined
with
the
red
outlines,
so
we're
proposing
to
see
four
separate
structures.
G
A
true
family
at
14,
a
two
family
at
15
are
whole
born
and
then
a
one
family
at
both
15
and
17
full
born
this.
This
proposal
is
part
of
the
neighborhood
homes
initiative,
in
collaboration
with
the
department
of
neighborhood
development,
and
this
would
provide
affordable
home
ownership
opportunities.
G
The
zoning
sub-district
actually
there's
two
separate
sub-districts
that
go
through
two
of
the
lots,
so
there's
an
mfr
as
well
as
a
three
f-4000,
so
both
single
family
and
two
families
are
allowed
in
both
of
those
zoning
districts
for
the
specific
breakdown
at
14
holborn,
which
is
on
your
left.
There
we're
proposing
a
two
family.
Both
would
have
two
bedroom
units
about
1500
square
feet
and
two
parking
spaces
and
they'd
be
at
eighty
percent
ami.
G
The
second
two
family
would
be
at
15
r
pullboard,
which
is
also
two
two
bedroom
units
about
fifteen
hundred
square
feet
and
two
parking
spaces.
The
two
single
families
would
be
a
15
and
17
holborn.
Each
would
be
three
bedroom
units
at
about
an
average
of
1500
square
feet
in
terms
of
the
violations.
As
was
mentioned,
all
four
proposals
were
cited
for
both
building
height
and
stories
and
front
yard.
We
believe
the
requirement
for
building
heightened
stories
is
three
stories
and
we
are
at
three.
G
G
It
is
not
front
yard
parking,
but
it's
located
on
the
side
of
the
property
and
then
finally,
at
15,
r
holborn,
we
were
cited
for
a
rear
yard
violation.
Normally,
what's
required
is
30
feet
because
of
the
shallow
watt
exception,
we're
required
to
have
23
and
we're
just
over
19.,
so
just
under
4
feet
short
in
the
rear.
With
that,
I
will
pause
and
take
any
questions
on
on
the
process
or
any
of
the
zoning.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
I'm
a
little
confused
about
why
you
would
be
in
violence.
If
you
said
it's
they're,
either
mfr
at
3f
zoning.
Why
is
a
three-story
building
considered
in
violation.
G
So
there
was
some
confusion
over
the
stories
we
believe
that
was
cited
and
error.
We
actually
we
actually
contend.
We
have
about
two
and
a
half
story,
building,
perhaps
three
for
far
calculatable
purposes,
but
a
three-story
building
is
allowed
in
both
districts.
Yeah
try
to
follow
up
with
the
plans
examiner,
but
at
that
point
we
had
already
had
this
advertised.
G
A
And
it
looks
that
one
of
the
the
photos
you
showed
looks
like
there's
a
real
severe
slope
on
15
to
15
r.
How
how
are
the
buildings
designed
in
order
to
accommodate
the
topography.
G
Yeah,
so
there
is,
there
is
quite
a
slope.
We're
not
proposing
on.
Excuse
me
15
r,
I
believe
we're
slab.
I
would
defer
to
chris
through
on
the
actual
design
of
15r,
as
that
is
at
the
top
of
the
slope.
L
We've
previously
been
working
with
both
bpd8
and
dnd,
for
some
slice
retaining
walls,
but
because
it
is
gonna,
be
slab
on
grade,
but
it's
gonna
be
raised
slab
on
grade
we'll
be
able
to
work
with
the
topography
so
that
it's
not
you
know
everything
works
within
it.
A
Okay,
okay,
that
makes
sense.
So
all
four,
all
four
structures
are
slab
on
grain.

In

and
the

we've
we've
we
strive
to
be
a
hundred
percent
inclusive
and
be
obviously
involving
everyone

AT
We've

four

actually,
I'm

seven
public

four

three
with

We've

25

AT
AS
Good
afternoon
mr
chair
members
of
the
board
danielle
fonseca
with
the
mayor's
office
and
neighborhood
services,
our
office
would
like
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
892
river
for
new
york
properties
in
conjunction
with
planet
fitness,
as
they,
as
mr
chase
mentioned,
met
with
several
different
neighborhood
association.
AS
In
addition
to
presenting
at
a
neighborhood
wide
meeting
so
and
they've
also
been
posted
or
featured
in
the
high
park
bulletin
newspaper
on
april
1st,
regarding
their
proposal
in
a
butter's
meeting
for
our
office
was
held
on
july
21st,
where
some
concerns
were
raised
around
the
original
proposition
of
the
24
hours
and
how
that
could
impact
the
rest
of
the
riverward
shops
traffic
on
river
and
how
safety
measures
would
be
taken.
AS
Particularly
during
that
late
night,
early
morning,
hours
of
operation,
bernard
properties
has
initiated
a
traffic
study
to
reflect
the
changes
in
circumstances
of
the
shop
and
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
and
the
applicants
have
also
mentioned
that
they
will
have
security
for
the
building.
After
the
meeting
was
conducted
for
our
office.
On
the
21st
of
july,
the
now
family,
neighborhood
association
led
efforts
to
create
a
one
question
survey
to
allow
community
the
community
to
weigh
in
on
support
of
that
24
7
operation
or
whether
it
be
the
10
30
pm.
AS
Closing
after
that,
finding
of
the
survey,
the
applicants
actually
worked
with
the
community
to
alter
their
proposed
hours
of
operation
which
they're
presenting
today.
Everyone
deserves
the
ability
to
work
on
mental
and
physical
health,
and
I
believe
this
extended
hours
could
accommodate
that
in
our
neighborhood.
AS
We
have
a
lot
of
in
high
park
people
who
work
for
police,
firefighters,
healthcare
workers,
many
who
might
be
holding
multiple
jobs
to
support
their
family,
so
this
extension
could
be
very
helpful.
So,
at
this
time
our
office
has
received
no
letters
of
support
or
opposition
for
this
proposal,
but
we
do
believe
that
it
will
ultimately
impact
the
neighborhood
in
a
positive
way.
Thank
you.
AS
N
That's
okay
good
afternoon,
mr
chairman
members
of
the
board
for
the
record
state
representative,
rob
consalvo
representing
the
14th
suffolk
district
and
this
project,
and
this
it
will
be.
This
project
is
in
my
district
and
this
business
will
be
in
my
district
in
the
14th
south
district.
I'd
like
to
go
on
the
record
in
strong
support
of
the
project.
This
has
had
an
exhaustive
public
process
with
many
multiple
meetings
thoroughly
vetted
by
the
applicants.
N
So
all
segments
of
the
hyde
park
community,
not
just
the
immediate
butters
but,
as
you
heard,
multiple
neighborhood
groups
around
the
city
around
the
hyde
park
and
around
the
14th
southwest
district,
and
I
think
we'll
have
an
extremely
positive
benefit
for
our
community.
N
I've
received
many
constituents
who
reached
out
to
me
in
support
of
the
application,
and
I
have
no
constituents
who
reached
out
to
me
today
asking
me
to
oppose
this
application
so
again,
looking
forward
to
this
business
in
our
district
and
what
it
will
bring
and
that's
what
the
board
enthusiastically
endorse
it.
Thank
you.

AY
E
K
AR
Sure
lokita
jackson
at
48,
roseberry,
road
and
high
park
mass-
I
am
the
co-chair
of
the
rosebury
road
ruskindel
neighborhood
association,
as
well
as
the
chair
of
the
community
input
board.
That
includes
five
different
neighborhood
associations,
their
representatives,
and
so
we
did
submit
a
letter
of
support.
It's
conditional
and
we
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it's
clear
support
of
the
revised
hours,
meaning
from
friday
through
sunday
closing
at
10
30
p.m,
and
I
run
correction
just
for

A
AT
H
A
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
for
clarifying
that
sure.
No
other
comments
I'll
entertain
a
motion.
H
The
motion
to
approve,
with
the
proviso
that
on
fridays,
saturdays
and
sundays,
they
close
at
10
30
p.m.
E
K
Take
a
look
sandra
sanchez,
yes,
okay,
she
was
having
some
connectivity
issues
earlier
sandra.
Q
AN
Yes,
what
happened
is
right
now
my
second
floor
and
my
in
myself,
we
use
the
same
entry
to
get
into
the
build
the
house
and
because
the
stair
that
I
have
to
go
to
the
second
floor
is
too
big
and
take
almost
all
the
space
for
the
living
room
in
the
second
floor,
basically
they're
living
in
the
second
floor.
We
don't
have
a
living
room
in
there.
AN
It
took
me
over
a
year
to
rent
that
apartment,
because,
anytime,
the
people
come
to
see
it.
They
didn't
like
it
because
they
don't
have
living
room
and
also
I
have
a
business,
is
daycare
family
daycare
and
my
second
floor
and
myself.
We
use
this
an
entry,
so
it's
too
busy
in
the
morning.
I
have
license
for
eight
kids
and
four
kids
living
in
the
second
floor.
AN
So
it's
some
it's
too
busy
in
the
morning
and
my
my
entertainers
they're
not
too
happy
about
see
people
in
the
morning
when
they
leave
with
the
kids
to
go
to
school
and
they
complain
about
it
and
that's
why
I
try
to
separate
separate
interests
for
to
the
two
apartments.
A
Okay,
mr
robertson,
maybe
you
can
help,
but
from
what
I
can
just
see
of
the
plans.
The
proposal
is
to
add
an
exterior
staircase
outside
to
replace
the
interior
one
so
there's
more
living
space
inside
is
that
what's
going
on
correct,
okay
and
then
what?
What
is
your
read
on
that?
A
I
I
you
know,
I
think
it's
a
tough
situation,
because
I
can
understand
the
con.
What
what
the
issue
is.
I
think
you
know
it's.
It
is
a
large
house.
I
think
the
bpda
has
weighed
in
that
you
know
they
think
there
should
be
a
resolution
on
the
interior,
because
it's
not
consistent
with
the
neighborhood.
I'm
sure
this
is
a
much
more
cost
effective
approach
to
provide
access.
So
this.
L
A
I
You
know,
I
think,
there's
probably
a
way
to
do
this
a
little
bit
better,
but
I
think
this
is
obviously
a
straightforward
issue,
but
I'm
not
sure
I
don't
really
fully
understand
the
inside
and
the
operations
of
it.
So
it's
more
hard
for
me
to
say
you
can
put
it
inside
and
live
with
it.
That
way,
so,
I
think,
seems
like
a
reasonable
ask,
I
think,
there's.
Maybe
the
sort
of
resolution
maybe
could
be
done
a
little
bit
better
in
conjunction
with
maybe
a
vpda
review
on
it.
G
Yeah,
I
I
agree.
I
know
it
does
say
denial
about
prejudice,
but
mr
robinson
hit
it
right
off
the
head
that
the
exterior
change
is.
What
is
what
is
really
concerning
for
us.
G
D
AS
I
received
a
phone
call
and
email
from
a
concern
about
her
saying
that
they
did
not
receive
a
notice
of
the
hearing
or
excuse
me.
They
received
notice
of
the
hearing,
but
not
of
the
abutters
meeting.
After
that
I
connected
with
miss
sanchez,
and
she
confirmed
that
she
indeed
did
fly
or
notify
all
the
butters
afterwards.
I
also
received
confirmation
from
two
separate
abutters
that
they
were
in
fact
personally
notified
by
ms
sanchez,
but
they
believed
that
they
did
not
need
to
attend
the
community
meeting.
AS
Ultimately,
our
office
believes
this
is
a
small
scare
project
that
will
not
negatively
impact
the
community
and
would
like
to
see
it
move
forward.
Thank
you.

plan,
which
would
accommodate
approximately
99
parking
spaces
and
also
be
reduced
to
only
one
curb
cut
right
now
there
are
a
series
of
curb
cut
openings,
so
that
will
be
an
improved
condition
in
the
meantime.
A
BD
Yeah,
so
thank
you,
mr
ehrlich,
so
this
was
again
also
a
gas
station
with
vp
parking,
the
gas
station,
the
tanks
have
been
removed
and
the
canopies
and
pumps
have
all
been
taken
out,
and
so
there's
remediation
going
on
on
that
and
they're
also
going
to
be
demolishing
the
gas
station
structure,
and
so,
as
part
of
that,
we
would
be
working
with
the
bpda
for
their
recommendation
on
screening
and
buffering
for
this
three-year
continued
vpa
parking
use
as
we
go
through
the
process.
Okay,.
A
BD
Yeah,
so
that
was
been,
those
are
a
planter
zone
buffer
zone
that
was
provided
to
isd
for
the
refusal
letter
and
to
the
bpda
for
their
recommendation
by
understanding
was
a
recommendation
of
approval
for
three
years,
subject
to
screening
and
buffering
so
at
the
pleasure
of
the
board.
If
it
was
a
proviso
we
would
prior
to
permitting
for
the
three
more
years,
we
would
return
to
them
for
more
engagement
on
this
plan.
Okay,.
BD
Yeah,
so
the
the
right
now,
the
back
of
the
site
on
macon
street,
has
on
street
parking
and
it's
a
little
bit
set
back,
but
certainly
that's
something
we
can
explore.
BD
The
front
is
western
ave,
which
is
kind
of
the
more
dominant
or
predominant
section,
but
we're
certainly
open
to
that
discussion
with
the
people.
Okay,
okay,.
A
Mr
robinson,
just
because
I
have
to
I
ask
you
how
the
plans
I'll
ask
you
there's
not
much
to
say,
look
some.
They
look
amazing.
I
I
think
there
needs
to
be
more
attention
to
the
screening
and
buffering
around
the
perimeter
and
maybe
even
in
the
middle.
I
know
this
is
a
temporary
condition,
but
it's
a
big
piece
of
you
know
asphalt
that
I
think
it
would
be
nice
to
enhance
if
we
can
so
no
no
questions
thanks.
E
All
right,
mr
chair
secretary,
I
do
have
a
question
for
mr
hanley,
I'm
looking
at
google
google
maps
and
I'm
looking
at
richardson
street
there's
a
bobwhite
fence.
There's
like
a
knee
wall
of
concrete
is
that
coming
down
is
that
staying
and
it's
really
part
of
this
project.
BD
Yeah
because,
as
I
as
I
indicated,
there
was
an
irving
gas
station
on
the
site
that
the
client
operated
for
many
years.
Tanks
have
been
recently
removed
in
january
and
I
think
they're
preparing
for
demolition
of
the
existing
gas
station
structure.
So
all
of
that
is
staging
that
will
be
removed.
And
again
you
know
this
site
will
temporarily
be.
You
know,
repurposed
for
that
three-year
parking
use
as
part
of
the
design
review.
E
Okay,
because
richardson
street
looks
like
it's
permanent
parking.
BD
There
will
there's
absolutely
a
vision
to
integrate
and
to
improve
that
sidewalk,
and
you
know,
that's
that's
part
of
a
larger
potential
development
of
this
site.
Okay,
thank
you.
BD
Yes,
we've
been
so
this
is
this.
As
I
had
indicated,
we
were
approved
in
2016,
mr
paragonian
property
owner
and
the
operator
of
the
fee
paid
parking,
and
so
that
expired
as
this
year
and
that's
why
we're
back
and
we're
asking
for
only
three
years
pursuant
to
the
bpda
recommendations.
H
BD
That's
concerning
so
it's
a
park,
but
to
be
clear,
it's
a
it's.
A
fee
paid
parking
lot
with
a
gas
station,
so
yeah
yeah.
If
you're
looking
at.
A
Okay,
we
can,
if,
if
we
approve
that
we
can
make
sure
that's
a
provide
zone,
okay
is
there
anybody
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
applicant?
Yes,.
BE
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board
connor
anyone
with
the
mayor's
office,
neighborhood
services
correct.
We
support
this
proposal,
the
applicant
flyer,
to
butters
within
300
feet.
We
had
several
reach
out
to
our
office.
No
serious
concerns
were
presented
and
no
opposition
voiced.
They
also
went
on
to
the
brighton
alston
improvement
association,
which
is
the
active
civic
group
and
received
their
support
as
well.
Thank
you.
K
D
C
BF
K
I
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
a
bpa
review
of
screening
and
buffering,
and
I
guess
signage
if
it
goes
into
a
full
paid
lot
for
three
years-
is.

E
AI
Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
attorney
derek
small
of
our
business
address
at
51
dobson
road
with
me
today,
on
the
call
is
david
choi,
who's,
the
architect
for
the
project
and
the
owner
of
oregon
court.
AI
Mr
chairman,
we're
here
today
seeking
relief
to
change
the
legal
occupancy
of
the
building,
went
through
a
family
dwelling
to
a
poor
family
dwelling.
I'm
legalizing
the
existing
basement
unit
erected
new
side
decks
and
there
will
be
a
solar
panels
on
on
the
roof
in
creating
five
street
parking
spaces.
AI
Zoning
sub
district
here
is
a
2f4
thousand.
Our
lot
size
is
11
500
square
feet.
Violations
are
as
follows:
mfr
is
forbidden
use
as
we
are
proposing
four
more
units.
It's
existing
non-conforming,
the
building
height.
This
sub-district
is
two
and
a
half
stories
35
feet
again:
it's
pre-existing
non-conforming,
which
is
at
three
stories
at
34
feet,
we're
being
cited
for
height,
because
the
solar
planars
take
the
height
of
the
building
to
37th,
and
then
we're
going
to
sign
up
for
this
boston,
ipod,
I'll,
stop
there
and
I'll.
AI
Let
david
choi
go
over
the
basement
plan
and
the
floor
plans
before.
A
Before
we
do
that
remind
me
why
why
we're
in
rediscussion?
What
when
was
this
before
us
before
this.
AI
Was
before
us
before,
and
it
was
misadvertised
through
the
cpa
office,
so
it
had
to
be
re-advertised,
okay,
places
in
the
papers.
Why
would
we
defer
from
last
time.
A
Okay
and
then
just
one
question
about
what
you
said
about
the
height
you're,
saying
it
the
if
the
solar
panels
were
not
there,
it
would
not
be
in
violation,
but
because
they
are
there,
that's
the
violation.
The
existing.
AI
K
Yeah
he's
on
as
unmuted
can
you
hear.
BG
K
BG
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
chairman.
Thank
you,
mr
small.
So
essentially
we
are
trying
to
create
as
much
light
and
walk
out
spaces
and
egress
wells
for
the
existing
basement
unit.
BG
The
current
ceiling
exceeds
seven
foot
six
inches
and
we're
trying
to
there's
existing.
BG
There
are
existing
spaces
there
and
we
would
like
to
essentially
legalize
the
existing
use
as
a
as
a
fourth
unit,
three
bedroom,
and
there
will
be
a
walkout
right
off
of
the
proposed
lower
level
unit
living
space
and
so
that
patio
would
serve
as
a
foundation
for
the
side.
Decks
that
would
be
added
onto
the
side
of
of
the
upper
units
and
the
first
floor
wouldn't
actually
have
that
side.
Deck
addition.
AI
And
mr
chairman,
keeping
in
mind
again
746
ceiling
height,
the
building
will
be
fully
sprinklered
and
we
have
full-size
window
wells.
A
What
is
the
mr
troy,
what
is
the
in
the
basement
unit?
What
is
the
floor
to
grade
height.
A
BG
Say
six
inch
variations
but
consistently
three
and
a
half
feet
around.
A
So
the
the
walkout
you
have
to
step
up
to
walk
out
correct.
Yes,.
A
I
can
count
yeah
okay,
mr
robinson,
how
are
the
plans.
I
The
plans
are
good,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
the
board
understands
so
we're
legalizing
the
basement.
You
know
which
obviously
we
have
an
issue
with
generally.
However,
so
you
are
creating
basically
a
man-made
outdoor
space
for
the
basement
unit
that
will
be
dug
into
the
ground,
but
it
will
be
at
plane
with
the
lower
level.
So
it's
not,
and
this
is
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
of
the
plans.
I
If
you
want
to
switch
to
that
and
then
so
that
has
a
stair
out
and
then
there's
also
a
second
means
of
the
egress.
That's
a
stair
out
to
the
sort
of
page
down
and
the
egress
windows
is
that
am
I
just
making
sure
that
I'm
understanding
what
you're
proposing.
BG
Yeah
that
plan
that
you're
seeing
now
are
the
existing
floor
plans
a101
go
to
it.
Yeah
and
all
units
will
maintain
two
means
of
egress
plus
egress
wells
for
for
all
the
bedrooms
plus
sprinklers.
For
all
all
four.
I
BG
So
it
actually
has
multiple
means
of
egress
out
from
this
unit
we're
trying
to
put
in
as
redundant
as
many
light
wells,
egress
wells,
egresses
out,
patios
sliding
glass
tours
as
open
space
as
possible,
we're
not
restricted
by
your
typical
east
boston
neighborhood,
where
you
have
a
very
narrow,
very
narrow,
alleyways
and
side
yards.
This
is
a
very
atypical
east
boston
condition
where
the
lot
size
is
a
lot.
You
know,
11
exceeds
11
000
square
feet
very,
very
open
space
and.
A
Mr
choi,
the
the
sliding
glass
door
is
open
out
onto
a
patio
and
then
there's
stairs
that
go
off
to
the
grave.
That's
correct.
BG
AJ
I
One
one
additional
question:
just
because
I
don't
quite
understand
it,
and
maybe
I
should
look
harder,
but
can
you
just
explain
the
parking
real
quick
to
me
just
so
I
can
understand
how
the
site
the
balance
of
the
site
is
being
utilized
because
it
is
an
odd-shaped
site
and
I
just
make
sure
I
understand
that
right.
BG
BG
Are
you
looking
at
a
eight
sheet
a1
100
yeah?
You
can
see
actually
that
that
bush
in
the
upper
left
hand
corner
that's
going
to
be
removed,
but
that
would
be
a
parking
space.
BG
When
you
have
the
cursor
yeah
exactly
yeah,
so
if
you
go
up
a
little
bit
on,
if
you
scroll
up.
I
Certified
plot
plan,
I
think,
is
clear
because
I
don't
there's
some
lines
on
here.
At
least
that's
what
I
wanted
to
verify.
So
this
is
just
showing
a
driveway
with
no
front
yard
parking
and
then
there's
looks
to
be
dashed
in
parking
in
the
back.
I
guess
I
just
I
assume
I
mean
front
yard
parking.
I
don't
know,
I
assume
it's
not
require
allowed
here
so
nope.
That
seems
to
be
a
slight
issue.
I
would
assume.
A
A
AI
AI
A
It
wouldn't
work
anyway,
because
the
driveway
is
in
the
same
spot
as
the
exactly
yeah,
all
right,
fine,
okay!
So
any
no
for
no
further
questions,
mr
robinson,
all
right,
I'm
good!
I'm
good!
Thank
you.
I
think
the
idea
of
this
patio,
with
the
eight
foot
patio,
with
the
sliders
kind
of
pushes
me
over
towards
somewhat
more
sympathetic
to
the
the
amount
of
light
in
the
in
the
in
the
in
the
basement
unit.
I
A
Okay,
any
other
questions
from
the
members
of
the
board.
Does
anyone
want
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
applicant.
X
Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman
members
of
the

in
the
time
I
live

M
Afternoon,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
richard
lenz,
245
sumner
street
east
foss,
on
behalf
of
petitioner
janice
e
with
me,
is
matt
mueller
who's,
the
project
architect
just
to
correct
the
record.
Mr
chair,
mr
secretary,
this
is
a
pre-existing
three-unit
dwelling.
I
believe
we
were
back
before
the
board.
Originally
one
of
the
reasons
we
took
a
deferral
is
we
had
modified
this
project
to
reduce
it
down
to
a
proposed
six
unit.
M
So
it's
going
from
three
to
six,
I
believe
in
the
notice
it
said
seven
removed,
meaning
this
the
proposal
for
seven
units
was
being
removed,
so
it
is
a
three
currently
being
proposed
as
a
six
with
respect
to
the
proposal.
Mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
yes,
that's.
M
Counselor
exactly,
I
think,
for
purposes
of
this
proposal.
If
you
see
here
in
the
rendering
we
do
have
some
photos
showing
the
back
portion
of
the
existing
building,
the
slope
from
everett
street
down
towards
the
rear
yard
is
pretty
substantial.
This
actually
does
permit
for
a
full
walkout
condition
at
the
lower
level.
M
This
is
a
semi-attached
building
where
we
do
not
have
ownership
of
the
building
to
our
right
and
therefore
the
renovation
of
this
building
did
consider
a
vertical
addition.
However,
we
are
maintaining
this
as
a
three-story
structure
from
everett
street,
there
will
be
about
25
to
26
foot
addition
on
the
rear
of
the
building,
and
then
the
entire
building
would
be
reprogrammed
for
the
total
of
six
units.
The
building
is
currently
vacant,
it's
been
vacant
for
a
little
over
a
year
with
respect
to
the
actual
unit
sizes.
M
We
do
propose
two
of
those
units
to
be
studios.
Those
are
about
470
square
feet,
or
so
there
are
two
good
sized
one
bedrooms
at
almost
775
square
feet.
There's
a
two
bedroom
167
square
feet
and
then
a
three
bedroom
at
1160
square
feet.
We
do
propose
a
roof
deck
as
well
that
roof
deck
would
be
accessed
by
hatch
and
again,
because
we
are
maintaining
the
three-story
structure,
which
is
consistent
with
the
adjoining
building.
We
do
not
require
any
head
house
and
none
is
proposed
in
this
instance
for
purposes
of
zoning
relief.
M
This
is
located
in
the
three
f-2000
district.
Article
53
requires
a
variance
for
a
multi-family
use
and
that's
what
we
are
proposing.
I
would
point
out
again:
I
know
the
board
typically
likes
to
understand
context.
There
are
numerous
multi-families
in
this
section
of
average
street
is
located
within
relatively
close
walking
distance
of
maverick
train
station,
and
we
do
have,
as
I
said,
a
number
of
multis
in
in
the
immediate
vicinity
of
42
everett.
M
With
respect
to
the
lot
size,
it
does
comply
as
it
does
have
2300
over
2300
square
feet,
which
is
above
the
minimum,
that's
necessary
in
the
three
of
2000
district.
We
do
require
relief
for
the
additional
wide
area
for
proposed
dwelling
units.
M
We
also
require
relief
for
the
flooding
area
ratio
which
will
be
increased
to
1.98
above
the
one
that
is
allowed.
AC
M
At
30
and
a
half
feet,
but
I
believe
that
has
to
do
with
the
condition
as
measuring
the
building
from
the
rear
of
the
property.
As
you
can
see
from
the
photos,
if
we
can
just
jump
to
the
existing
condition
photos,
this
is
a
traditional
triple
decker
building,
as
it
relates
to
the
other
properties
along
everett
street.
M
With
respect
to
parking,
we
do
require
relief
for
that
as
well
as
we
would
be
increasing
the
number
of
units
above
the
current
condition,
which
presently
does
not
have
any
parking,
but
just
to
jump
quickly
to
the
height.
We
don't
change
anything
with
respect
to
the
facade
itself
as
it
as
its
oriental
on
bridge
street
they'll,
clearly
be
a
an
improvement
to
the
exterior
condition
of
this
building
as
well.
M
We
would
certainly
encourage
the
owner
to
work
with
the
abundant
property
to
see
if
there's
an
opportunity
to
create
some
continuity
between
the
two
buildings
and
again,
that
would
all
be
part
of
the
proposed
renovation
for
this
building.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
of
the
board.
A
Mr
lynn,
can
you
show
our
can?
We
should
see
a
side
elevation
that
shows
a
change
in
topography
from
front
to
back
sure.
M
This
is
a
good
view
here,
so
we'll
show
you
the
front
of
the
building,
as
well
as
the
right
side
of
the
building,
the
portion
of
the
right
side
of
the
building.
That's
that's
white.
Obviously,
the
portion
that
is
connected
to
the
other
adjoining
building
to
our
right.
M
I
can
let
matt
answer
the
front.
The
back
is
eight
feet.
Ten
inches,
we
do
have
an
elevation.
If
you
believe
we
go
to
the
next
elevation,
we
show
the
rear
actually
next
one.
I
believe
that
one
there
shows
the
elevation
a
little
over
eight
feet
for
the
for
the
ceiling
height,
okay,.
M
A
Though
we
are
proposing
addition,
it
is,
is
organized
in
such
a
way
that
the
bedroom's
enjoy
the
rear.
I
Are
good
actually
no
questions
on
the
unit
below
because
it
is
for
the
proponents
description.
I
do
have
one
question
because
it's
not
shown
in
the
drawings.
What
is
the
roof
deck
it's
shown
on
the
axons
and
the
aerials,
but
it
is
not
shown
on
the
technical
drawings.
I
don't
believe
unless
I
missed
that,
but
can
you
just
confirm
size
dimension
and
it
appears
pretty
far
set
back
from
the
street
edge.
M
Q
D
M
M
A
Okay,
is
there
anyone
here
to
testify
on
behalf
of
the
project.
X
At
this
moment,
this
proposal
didn't
receive
enough
support
from
the
community.
The
advisors
have
concerns
regarding
the
number
of
units,
the
lack
of
parking
density
reduction,
open
space
and
the
size
of
the
units,
and
this
proposal
was
voted
down
by
jeffrey's
point
neighborhood
association.
Thank
you.
AA
AO
M
Sorry
rachel,
mr
chairman,
I
believe
I'm
not
sure
if
mr
hampton's
on,
but
I
I
believe
this
is
the
bpd-
did
have
a
recommendation
on
this.
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
mr
hampton,
but
I
know
it
may
be
wrong.
Please.
G
Introduction:
okay,
we
do
have
one
raised
hand
yeah
mr
chair.
We
have
made
a
recommendation
back
in
for
the
may
4th
hearing
where
this
was
deferred
for
42
everett
approval,
with
proviso
that
there'd
be
no
dwelling
units
in
the
basement
and
that
any
exterior
changes
were
sent
to
us
for
design
review.
A
K
Yes,
sir
rachel
go
ahead,
you've
been
a
muted.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record?
Please.
AH
Thank
you,
mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
rachel
bloomer
184
webster
street
in
east
boston.
I'm
here
representing
the
jeffers
point,
neighborhood
organization.
Our
organization
voted
against
this
project
with
a
vote
of
11
in
favor
and
28
opposed
the
residents
opposing.
This
proposal
are
concerned
about
the
reduction
in
open
space,
the
lack
of
parking
density
and
number
of
units
and
the
impact
on
neighbors
sight
lines.
Thank
you.
Q
AH
A
H
A
E
Follow
your
next
case
calling
voa
113,
4769
363
albany
street,
you
know
we'll
be
removing
the
existing
billboard
on
the
corner
of
the
building
and
installing
a
new
structure,
a
2
by
20
by
60
digital
billboard.
The
violation
is
article
64,
section,
35,
sign
regulations,
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
Mr.
A
You,
mr
kindell,
are
you
prepared
to
review
the
plans.
A
AZ
You,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board
attorney
jeff
drago,
with
drago
and
toscano,
with
a
business
actress
of
11,
beacon
street
here
on
behalf
of
the
applicant,
my
client,
the
pine
street
inn,
and
I
also
have
bob
messier
from
daktronics.
If
there
any
lighting
questions
again.
As
was
mentioned,
this
is
a
proposal
and
I
want
to
be
clear
to
remove
two
existing
static
billboards.
These
billboards
are
existing
at
the
site.
If
we
can
go
back
up,
the
board
could
see
the
actual
existing
photos
right.
The
next
one
up.
Yeah.
Thank
you,
madam
ambassador.
AZ
So
those
are
the
existing
boards.
You
could
just
pause
right
there,
and
that
is
the
proposed
board.
We
would
be
replacing
two
larger
boards
with
two
smaller
boards.
That
would
be
electronic
and
we
have
a
slider
going
to
that.
If
we
could
just
stay
on
the
next
slide,
please
it
says
existing
and
digital
conversion
madame
besser
one
down
just
so
the
if
we
could
go
one
more
down
right
there
perfect.
AZ
So
if
you
can
see
just
as
compared
to
what's
there
now
one
the
size
is
going
to
be
reduced,
so
this
was
approved.
These
boards
were
approved
by
the
board
back
in
2013
for
the
pine
street
inn
and
they
were
approved
at
2
400
square
feet.
In
total,
we
ended
up
putting
up
slightly
smaller
at
2
000
square
feet,
so
a
20
by
60
and
a
20
by
40
static
board.
We
are
now
proposing
14
by
40.,
mr
dragon.
A
AZ
AZ
AZ
Okay,
mr
jarrow,
so
right
now
these
the
boards
are
operating
24
hours
and
hearing
from
the
butters
and
also
bpda.
We
would
be
blackout
from
1am
to
7am
under
this
new
proposal,
and
this
will
be
45
smaller
than
its
current
size.
We
also
with
the
digital
boards,
and
we
did
a
lighting
test
of
tektronix
performance-
will
be
a
minimum
of
25
less
in
brightness
and
lighting
than
what's
there.
Currently
so
25
minimum
could
go
up
to
35,
also
just
in
terms
of
community
messaging.
There
was
none
required
under
existing
static
boards.
AZ
We
would
have
a
minimum
required
of
15
hours
and
we
would
be
proposing
to
even
go
over
that
and
then
obviously
content
we're
going
to
be
cleaning
up
this
entire
board,
because
right
now,
there's
footings.
There's
catwalks
boards
they're
there
and
they're
blocking
the
windows.
If
you,
if
we
can
go
back
up,
you'll,
see
the
picture
of
the
proposed
now
the
windows
would
be
exposed,
so
you
can
see
right
now
we're
blocking
them
in
that
picture
and
the
next
one
in
the
proposal.
That's
that's
the
proposal,
we're
not
blocking
them.
AZ
If
you
go,
one
back
up,
madam
ambassador
of
the
board,
can
see
that
we
currently
are
blocking
them
and
have
that
staging
and
catwalk
all
around
them
again.
This
board
is
unique.
These
boards,
so
the
pine
street,
owns
the
board
owns
the
building.
100
of
the
net
profit
goes
directly
to
the
pine
street
in
for
their
programming
for
homelessness
and
job
creation
and
this
these
boards.
I
know
this.
This
is
an
economic
development
area,
the
zoning
district.
So
this
isn't
something
that
we're
proposing
that's
new
to
the
district.
AZ
There
are
existing
boards
there
now
that
are
digital
800
feet
down
the
road
right
before
the
inc
block,
600
feet
and
then
across
the
other
side
of
the
highway,
are
all
existing
digital
boards.
Now
we
would
be
beyond
the
500
feet
required
by
the
outdoor
advertising
board,
but
just
so
the
board
knows-
or
this
board
knows-
that
we're
not
creating
a
press
stick
or
something.
That's
unheard
of
for
this
area.
A
So,
mr
j,
I'm
I'm
just
by
the
two
images
existing
at
the
new,
even
though
you
say
it's
getting
smaller,
it
actually
looks
like
the
one
on
the
left.
It
doesn't
extend.
An
existing
doesn't
extend.
As
far
I
mean
I
like
the
fact
that
they
are
above
the
windows
the
proposed,
but
it
looks
like
it's.
It
extends
further
to
the
left.
AZ
A
Because
that,
because
that
your
numbers
don't
show
that,
but
that
all
right,
okay
yeah,
keep
going,
I'm
sorry.
AZ
So
and
then
you
know,
we've
had
a
a
very
robust
community
process
and
I
know
there's
folks
on
here
they're
going
to
talk
about
that.
We
also
met
with
the
bpda
and
from
our
last
meeting,
because
we
did
defer
the
last
one.
We
actually
reduced
the
size
of
these
boards
to
14
by
48
to
bring
down
the
sizes
in
general.
So,
okay.
A
Okay,
any
questions
from
the
board
all
right,
let's
take
testimony
any
did
anybody
speak
for
our
in
for
an
opposition.
BH
Hi
yes,
good
afternoon,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
kim
crucioli
from
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services.
This
proposal
went
through
a
rigorous
community
process.
They
had
in
a
butters
meeting
on
march
31st,
where
all
concerns
were
addressed
by
the
applicant.
They
also
presented
before
the
east
berkeley,
neighborhood
association
and
to
the
west
broadway
neighborhood
associations,
both
of
which
provided
letters
of
support.
BH
BH
BH
AC
Moreover,
residents
across
the
southern
district
2
and
the
city
have
expressed
concerns
about
light
pollution
and
distracted
driving
energy
consumption
and
undermining
the
historic
nature
of
our
neighborhoods
councilor
flint
remains
opposed
to
the
proposal
due
to
zoning
code,
public
safety
and
quality
of
life
issues.
Thank
you.
E
A
Okay,
mr
hampton,
can
you
outline
the
bpda's
position.
G
Yeah.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
The
bpda's
recommendation
for
the
may
hearing
was
for
denial.
We
feel
that
it's
an
unnecessary
addition
to
the
building
they
already
have
their
billboards.
I
was
not
involved
in
any
discussions
with
anyone
here
at
the
bpda
nor
jeff
in
terms
of
size
or
anything
like
that.
So
for
the
record,
our
recommendation
is
still
denial.
K
BI
The
current
billboard
located
at
half
street
in
albany
street
is
1800
feet
away
from
my
building
on
kevin
hudson
street
and
light
from
that
billboard
is
visible
in
our
building,
so
that
puts
us
outside
the
500
foot
radius.
That
butter
is
typically
not
a
fighting
or
doing
this
tree.
I
can't
remember
now
in
that
gallon
building
and
don't
have
to
have
it's
1000
feet
away.
If
I'm
1800
feet
away
and
they're
1000
feet
away,
they're
going
to
explode
to
more
white
pollution
than
I
am
at
my
building.
BI
Q
BJ
Hi,
my
name
is
ford
cavallari.
I
live
on
battery
street
in
boston.
I
am
a
chair
of
the
alliance
of
downtown
civic
organizations.
First,
I
want
to
also
state
what
the
city
stated
that
we
certainly
support
pine
street
inn,
but
all
of
the
neighborhood
associations
within
anco
and
it's
all
of
the
downtown
neighborhood
associations
are
extremely
disappointed.
That
pine
street
inn
is
trying
to
go
down
this
road.
A
good
organization
can
do
a
bad
thing,
and
that's
what
they're
doing
here?
BJ
The
presentation
tries
a
sort
of
jedi
mind
trick
that
the
industry
always
tries,
which
is
to
equate
regular
billboards
and
digital
billboards
they're
totally
different
things.
It's
like
saying,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
reduce
the
size
of
the
electrical
generation
plant,
but
I'm
gonna
make
it
nuclear
that
shouldn't
be
a
problem.
It's
on
the
same
order.
BJ
That's
why
electronic
billboards
are
specially
regulated
by
the
city
which
this
application
violates
section
11-7
of
the
current
zoning
code
and
they're,
specially
regulated
by
the
commonwealth
700
cmi
r3,
which
this
also
likely
violates
because
it
shines
directly
into
a
residential
building.
That's
just
across
the
street.
Now
our
letter
shows
a
picture
of
what
that
looks
like
from
inside
a
building
in
chinatown
in
the
theater
district.
The
theater
district
has
an
electronic
billboard
zone
that
is
approved
and
the
residences
in
there
are
filled
with
horrible
light
light.
That's
not
30
percent
lowers
nice
light.
BJ
Yeah
so
anyhow,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
we
are
all
opposed.
This
is
the
third
time
that
these
guys
have
come.
It's
two
deferrals.
We
would
like
to
ask
that
you
guys
deny
this
with
prejudice.
There
is
a
review
going
on
by
the
city
council
as
to
what
the
policy
should
be
on
electronic
billboards.
They
are
a
scourge
in
the
city
and
we
urge
you
on
bended
knee.
We
urge
the
zba
to
please
deny
with
prejudice
this
application.
Okay,
you
don't
you.
K
All
right,
we
have
quite
a
few
raised
hands,
just
kenneth
you're
next,
okay.
A
BK
We
are
the
neighborhood
association
of
which
pine
street
and
resides-
and
I
will
be
brief,
mr
chairman,
but
homelessness
is
the
biggest
issue
in
our
city
right
now
and
we
love
what
the
pine
speed
in
has
done
for
homelessness,
all
their
programs,
their
transitional
housing.
What
they've
been
doing
to
help
people
go
from
living
on
the
streets
to
living
in
the
community,
and
so
we
wholeheartedly
the
entire
neighborhood,
where
the
billboard
will
reside
approve
this
we
are
in
support
of
pine
street.
Then
it
just
feels
like.
BK
Not
not
owning
up
to
our
our
you
know,
citizen
responsibilities
to
just
out
now
deny
something
when
they
could
desperately
use
the
funding
that
will
be
off
at
a
reasonable
point
in
the
evening
later
in
the
evening
as
they
described
to
us.
So
we
did
not
have
concerns.
We
are
so
happy.
They
will
have
this
funding
source.
It
mostly
looks
at
the

which
is
the
point
for
people
driving
down
93,
to
see
it
and
we
don't
see
it
as
noise
pollution
in
our
neighborhood.

Thank
you
all
right,
maria
you've
been
unmuted.
Can
you
state
your
name
and
address
on
the
market?
Please.
AD
This
is
maria
lyons.
I
live
in
dorchester,
but
I
drive
by
this
area
every
day
to
and
from
work.
So
I
I
would
like
to
say
that
it's
a
very
dangerous
area.
There
is
multiple
entrances
and
exits
going
to
mass
ave.
There
are
cars
going
from
the
left
over
to
mass
ave.
There
are
cars
going
from
the
right
to
avoid
that
it's
hot
right.
BC
Oh,
thank
you.
My
name
is
stuart
rose.
I
am
at
a
butter
at
242,
east
berkeley
street.
We
own
a
five-story,
50,
000
square
foot,
building
right
near
the
corner
of
east
berkeley
street
in
albany
street
across
from
pine
street.
The
proposed
digital
billboard
has
our
enthusiastic
support
and
we
are
right
next
door
to
it.
Its
appearance
has
a
huge
improvement,
since
it
has
a
contemporary
high-tech
look,
which
complements
all
the
neighborhoods
new
construction.
BC
C
A
I
actually
look,
we
all
love
pine
street
inn
and
that's
not
that's
not
the
concern.
The
concern
is
about
a
billboard
and
I'm
taking.
I
want
to
take
testimony
for
and
again
so.
Obviously,
if
you
work
for
pine
street
inn,
you
are
in
support
and
we
don't
need
to
be
educated
about
the
mission
of
pine
street.
It's
phenomenal.
We
and
we
are
grateful
for
what
you
do.
A
Okay,
can
I
have
a
motion,
please
I'd
like
to
make
a.
A
G
Ask
that
if,
if
this
were
to
be
approved
by
the
board,
that
the
owner
needs
to
be,
in
conformance
with
section
11
7
of
the
code
that
limits
hours
of
operations,
lighting
design,
review
everything
that
a
conditional
use
would
need
to
adhere
to.
I
would
ask
that
the
board
attached
that,
as
proviso
for
this,
even
though
it
is
a
forbidden
use.
A
Yeah,
that's
fine!
What
does.
AZ
It
is
we
agreed
to
go
beyond
that.
We
said
one
to
seven,
because
we
had
heard
the
bpda
might
even
be
changing
that
and
our
neighbor
in
the
troy
building
had
asked
that
they
were
in
support
if
we
could
put
those
hour
limitations,
so
we
refined
it
at
one
to
seven,
which
would
be
even
longer.
A
Okay,
so
let's
hold
on
just
everybody,
so
there's
a
motion:
that's
been
made
and
seconded
for
approval
that
includes
vpda
design,
review
consistent
with
the
existing
statutes,
all
those
in
favor
aye.
All
those
opposed
motion.

Please.
BB
This
case
was
deferred
from
august
24
hearing
for
resubmission
of
our
revised
plans,
which
showed
two
things
that
were
done
in
response
to
the
butter
meetings
and
our
community
process,
and
that
was
to
eliminate
any
living
space
in
the
basement
whatsoever
and
just
leave
the
basement,
as
is,
and
to
remove
the
proposed
parking
in
the
rear
yard,
because
the
others
were
concerned
about
drainage
and
runoff.
If
we
paved
over
that
surface,
so
the
rear
parking
spaces
were
removed
from
the
proposal.
BB
stop
right
here,
please
at
this
screen.
In
addition
to
confirming
the
occupancy
as
the
two
family,
the
proposal
is
to
add
what
you
see.
On
the
right
hand,
side
there
is
a
new
egress
stairway
from
the
duplex
unit
on
the
top
two
floors
and
an
additional
landing
there
on
the
side
which
implicates
the
side
and
rear
yard
existing
insufficiencies.
BB
That
is
the
essence
of
what
was
before
you
last
month
has
now
shown
with
the
conformed
plans.
Eliminating
any
use
of
the
space
in
the
basement.
The
ceiling
height
is
insufficient,
it
would
have
required
excavation.
So
that's
off
the
table
and,
as
shown
on
one
of
the
plan
slides,
the
existing
basement
condition
will
remain,
as
is,
which
is
just
kind
of
open,
basement
space
and
a
bulkhead
and
a
tool
room
to
the
rear
yard.
BB
Q
A
The
addition
on
the
right
that
impacts
the
side,
yard
setback.
BB
BB
I
The
drawings
confirm
as
counselors
described
and
no
questions
from
me.
A
BB
That's
a
rear
yard
condition,
so
it's
sort
of
open
space
and
that's
part
of
why
they
wanted
no
parking
in
our
rear
yard
to
keep
that
open
space
feeling
in
the
backyard
areas
of
these
of
these
existing
buildings.
Okay,.
A
Any
questions
on
the
board
is
there
anyone
to
speak
on
either
in
favor
or
in
opposition
to
the
plan?
Yes,.

Mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
is
conor
newman
with
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
services
electrical
record
in
support
of
this
proposal.
As
you
heard
from
the
applicant,
they
worked
closely
with
the
butters.
The
mayor's
office
initially
held
a
meeting
on
march
29th
residents.
There
expressed
concerns
about
living
space
in
the
basement
and
about
more
of
the
yard
being
paved,
which
would
lead
to
a
loss
of
green
space
and
concerns
about
flooding.
The
applicant
worked
closely
and
addressed
those
concerns
and
made
changes
to
the
proposal.

Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman
members
of
the
board,
tony
desadoro,
representing
the
austin
civic
association,
we
would
like
to
go
and
record
in
support
with
the
proviso
that
the
units
not
be
rented
to
undergraduate
students.
We
were
very
pleased
as
been
mentioned
that
the
proponent
reached
out
to
the
director
butters.
This
is
an
area
of
austin,
that's
heavily
owner
occupied,
so
we
feel
there's
going
to
be
proper
oversight
and
with
their
blessing,
we
stand
in
an
approval
of
this
project.
A
Is
tony,
is
that
a
commitment
that
the
owners
made.
BF
I
believe
so
you
can
check
with
mr
mccash,
but
I
believe
they
have
made
that
commitment.

Please.
F
Good
afternoon,
chairman
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
george
marantzy,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
business
address,
350
west
broadway
in
south
boston.
I
represent
kyle
and
david
gambon
platt
development
of
the
applicants
under
the
application
clarified
for
the
record.
The
cited
cheap
pod
compliance
is
not
a
zoning
violation.
It's
a
compliance
matter.
F
This
is
a
zoning
compliant
project
requiring
green
belt
protection,
overlay
district
approval
only
for
a
new
three-story
tree
family
dwelling
on
a
vacant
through
lot
at
1778
columbia,
road
in
south
austin,
the
board
on
may
18
2021
denied
gpart
approval
in
contravention
of
established
case
law.
My
client
appealed
that
denial
to
the
superior
court,
which
issued
an
order
on
august
12,
2021
compelling
the
board
to
conduct
this
remand
hearing
for
further
action,
not
inconsistent
with
the
order
of
the
force.
Would
the
board
like
me
to
describe
the
project.
A
No,
no,
I
I
don't
think
that's
really
necessary.
I
mean,
I
think
this
is
a
very
straightforward
situation.
We
need
to
respond
to
the
court
remand
for
the
for
the
information
of
the
members
of
the
board.
The
court
ruled
that
the
board
cannot
deny
gpod
relief
and
can
only
attach
certain
conditions
to
that
release.
So
we
need
to
adhere
to
the
ruling
of
the
board
and
I
would
entertain
a
motion.
H
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
with
vpda
design,
review
in
terms
of
landscape
and
to
help
comply
with
the
outlook.
The
the
fabric
of
the
neighborhood.
A
Yeah,
we
can
only
attach
certain
conditions
on
on
the
relief,
so,
though,
so
as
long
as
anything
that
that
we
that
we
want
to
see
happen
is
consistent
with
those
conditions.
That's
fine,
mr
darrow.
So
is
there.
I
A
G
A
As
long
as
it's
consistent
with
with
the
the
the
authority
that
we
have.
E
Are
you
good,
yep
call
the
last
case
of
the
day
calling
the
chair
case
boa
one
one:
five:
zero:
five,
seven,
four
one,
one
blue
hill
avenue.
The
petitioner
seeks
determination
that
inspectional
service
department
aired
an
issue
of
the
permit
proposition
is
an
allowed
use
name
and
address
for
the
record.
Please.
A
Well,
the
truth:
the
truth
is
that
that
there
isn't
that's,
there
isn't
a
need
for
someone
to
speak.
On
behalf.
This
was
something
raising
objection
to
an
isd
ruling
which
we
then
we
took
that
objection
and
we
sent
it
to
the
law
department,
which
has
issued
a
memo
and
basically
the
the
question
is
whether
isd
aired
in
the
issuing
of
the
permit
and
the
preponderance
there.
There
was
no
evidence
presented
that
indicated.
That
isd
aired.
A
So
I
would
entertain
a
motion
that
the
board
concludes,
that
isd
did
not
air
in
the
issuance
of
the
permit,
so
moved.
Is
there
a
second
I'll
say
I'll?
Stop
it
all
those
in
favor,
aye,
okay,
all
opposed.
Okay.
Thank.
