From YouTube: Zoning Board of Appeals of 12-13-22
Description
City of Chelsea
A
A
This
is
the
zoning
board
of
appeals.
Today
is
oh,
my
gosh
December
13th
I
I
am
I'm
going
to
go
in
order
here.
We
have
Hector
Velez
Joan
Cromwell,
Arthur,
Arsenal,
John,
depriest
Janice
to
Tarka
Maryland,
Vega,
Torres,
Joe,
Mahoney
and
Hector
Peridot
Hugo
Perdomo,
you
I
need
coffee.
Obviously,
today,
with
the
first
case
in
front
of
us,
is
2022
225.
Just
as
a
reminder
you
will.
This
is
being
recorded.
A
C
A
B
B
So
the
original
plan
I
was
I,
was
hoping
initially
to
bring
the
level
all
the
way
down
just
to
Where.
The
Sidewalk
level
is
because
the
front
yard
is
really
really
high
and
excessively
steep
the
structural
designer
he
actually
found
ways
where
we
could
level
it
out,
make
it
easier
to
get
on
and
access
to
the
yard
work,
but
not
to
go
as
far
back
up
to
the
house
as
I
had
a
tent
like
intended.
So
the
height
of
the
wall
wouldn't
be
as
high.
E
A
A
B
C
E
B
G
A
B
H
I
I
I
They
did
actually
issue
some
conditions,
the
biggest
condition
from
what
I
recall
was
they
wanted
a
white
roof
for
energy,
efficient,
green
roof,
and
they
also
wanted
us
to
work
with
I,
believe
green
roots
in
some
aspect
of
a
design,
review
and
so
forth
and
I
represented
to
them
as
I
represented
this
board,
usually
John
purviewed
design
guidelines,
and
we
that
would
be
a
condition.
Anyways
I
believe
the
only
belief
that
we're
seeking
is
the
amount
of
units
everything
else
is
Zone
and
compliant
the
setbacks.
I
I
Four
units,
four
townhouses
so
essentially
there's
Madam
chairman,
there's
two
townhouses
sort
of
in
the
front
and
two
townhouses
sort
of
in
the
back.
So
if
you're
looking
at
it,
the
property
goes
through
two
streets.
Essentially,
so
it
looks
like
a
two
family
in
the
front
and
two
family
in
the
back,
so
it's
copacetic
to
what
it's
in
the
neighborhood
as
we
speak
now:
okay,.
I
Yes,
they
will
be
entering
from
both
streets,
there's
crab
cuts
on
both
sides
and
they
park
inside
the
building.
They
have
a
garage
inside.
In
fact,
they
have
a
as
you
can
see,
there's
parking
inside
and
outside,
but
the
outside
is
just
extra
I
believe
there's
two
already
inside
the
building.
Okay,.
I
I
J
I
C
I
I
didn't
prepare
that
that
might
have
been
done
as
a
summary
with
the
application,
but
that's
just
not
accurate.
It's
true,
there's
no
basement
in
this
building.
There's
no
basement
for
this
plan.
This
two
parking
space
is
per
unit
in
the
in
the
dwelling
structures
itself,
so
there's
eight
parking
spaces
two
and
two
on
each
structure.
Two
and
two
of
the
back
structures,
no
basement,
that's
why
it's
all
Zona
compliant
first,
as
far
as
elevations
and
Heights.
A
A
Okay,
this
is
the
last
opportunity
one
will
have
to
speak
on
this.
Is
there
anyone
who
wishes
to
speak
on
anybody
as
you're
coming
in?
If
you
need
translation,
it's
in
the
back,
there's
somebody
there
to
help.
You
I
know
there
being
none
I'm
going
to
close
the
public
participation
portion
John.
What
do
we
looking
for
the
variances
for.
K
A
A
A
You
make
that
clear.
John!
Thank
you!
Okay,
so
we
have
we're
looking
at
variances
for
many
minimum
lot
area,
minimum
lot
area
per
unit,
so
I'm
going
to
read
it
and
you
respond
it's
per
each
one.
As
we
know,
as
everyone
knows,
when
it
comes
to
variance,
you
have
to
meet
all
four
requirements
for
us
to
be
able
to
legally
approve
it.
The
variance
is
sought
because
the
soil
conditions
shape
or
Topography
of
such
land
or
structure,
and
especially
affecting
such
land
or
structure,
but
not
affecting
generally
the
zoning
District
in
which
it
is
located.
I
Per
unit
so
to
go
hand
in
hand
because
of
the
amount
of
units,
so
the
existing
site
has
was
a
commercial
construction
building
and
so
forth,
and
it
went
through
almost
two
streets
which
was
very
unique
in
the
area
these
and
the
grade
in
the
footprint
had
to
be
adjusted
in
order
to
make
it
compliant
to
allow
two
to
family
structures,
essentially
for
unit
dwellings
to
be
on
it.
The
land
goes
through
two
streets
and
because
of
the
unique
in
shape,
which
is
very
unique
in
that
area,
because
you
don't
have
a
through
Street.
I
This
would
first
of
all
would
cause
a
Hot
Chip,
not
just
with
the
financial
hardship,
because
to
do
the
structure
and
to
demolish
the
foundation
that
was
existing
for
the
commercial
structure
and
do
a
new
footprint
and
to
make
it
with
the
dimensional
reg
compliant.
You
wouldn't
be
able
to
to
build
the
structure
in
the
manner
that's
thrown
and
compliant
and
make
it
financially
work,
which
is
why
it
was
originally
previously
I
think
six
units
and
was
reduced
down
to
four
units
to
make
it
not
go
to
the
hardship,
that's
at
hand.
I
A
I
A
I
And
it
really
goes
with
the
prior
that
because
it
goes
a
flow
through
Street
and
because
we're
doing
essentially
two
two
family
houses
on
one
side
and
one
side
of
the
street.
It
wouldn't
derogate
with
the
purpose
of
the
stat
of
the
ordinance
and
the
ordinance
allows
variances
to
work
with.
What's
in
the
neighborhood,
so
I
wouldn't
actually
affect
neighborhood.
It
actually
would
hence,
what's
actually
in
the
neighborhood
existing.
A
C
The
planning
board
voted
to
recommend
approval
with
the
standing
conditions
as
applicable.
A
community
Improvement
trust
fund
payment.
One
street
address
design,
review
and
participation
in
there's
a
neighborhood
pilot
going
on
in
that
area
for
a
pilot
going
on
in
the
neighborhood
to
lower
the
urban
heat
island
effect,
and
the
petitioner
is
asked
to
participate
in
that
pilot
story.
A
D
A
G
A
C
Recommended
approval
with
standing
conditions
as
applicable.
If
there's
there's
a
street
tree
on
the
sidewalk,
if
the
street
tree
is
to
be
removed,
replaced
or
replanted
is
to
be
done
so
at
the
expense
of
the
petitioner
and
the
recommended
installation
of
Ballers
to
prevent
vehicles
from
hitting
the
house.
H
A
C
C
If
the
board
votes
to
approve
it,
it
will
be
written
up
with
a
condition
one
of
the
standing
conditions
that
you
meet.
The
concerns
of
the
fire
department,
so
you're
going
to
have
to
work
it
out
with
them
right
and
if
you
don't
just
because
the
board
approves
that
the
fire
department
still
has
a
say
in
it
and
they
can,
they
can
deny
they
can
not
sign
off
on
the
permit
right.
M
M
Am
I'm
still
working
with
them
and
they're
going
to
give
me
some
more
information
about
this
particular
dry.
I
guess
sprinkler
system,
they
said
it's
been
used
in
the
city
on
decks,
is
what
they
told
me
and
I
asked
them
to
give
me
more
information
about
it,
but
they
said
they
couldn't
due
to
a
conflict
of
interest.
A
Why
don't
you
chat
with
John
too?
Maybe
we
can
maybe
he
doesn't
have
quite
the
conflict.
Thank
you.
I
don't
mean
to
set
you
up,
John
I'm,
just
saying
I,
don't
know
what
their
conflict
is.
So
is
there
anybody
here
who
wishes
to
speak
on
this
matter
there
being
none
I'm,
closing
the
public
participation
portion
of
this
hearing?
Do
we
have
any
comments,
any
thoughts,
any
questions,
any
request,
any
intention
of
filing
something.

Is
there
anybody
here
not
there?
She
is
okay.
Before
we
get
started
I'm
just
going
to
read,
we
have
a
number
of
letters
of
support.
I
just
want
to
get
them
into
the
record,
I'm,
not
I'm,
just
going
to
summarize
them
I'm
not
going
to
read
each
of
them.
We
have
a
letter
of
support
from
Lorraine
Vega
who
lives
at
100
Captain's
row.
We
have
a
letter
of
support
from
David
Mojica.
A
The
next
one
is
from
Carol
Resnick
68
captains
row
and
writing
in
support
of
Vita
Verde
Michelle
Memphis
mirthus
resident
of
Chelsea
in
support
of
the
the
36
Pine
Street
in
support
of
Vita
Verde
viaki
Gonzalez
resident
of
Chelsea
255
Vale
Street.
Also
in
support
see
why
I'm
summarizing
it's
a
lot
of
them:
Juan
Marrero
resident
of
Chelsea,
116,
Clark
Ave,
a
letter
of
support,
David
Diaz
resident
of
Chelsea
for
Washington
Ave
letter
of
support.
A
I
I
believe
the
plan
that's
been
that's
on,
the
computer
is
actually
accurate,
I
think
what
happened
was
I
think
he
I
think
Lee's
Hugo
picked
it
up
that
in
the
manual
the
the
old
plan
was
in
the
manual
like
a
revised
version.
So
what
we
did
is
we
updated
the
manuals
that
you
have
before
you
with
the
corrected
updated
plan?
Okay,
but
the
plan
that
was
previously
before
this
board
that
was
on
the
digital
has
not
been
altered
whatsoever,
so
that
should
still
be
accurate.
I
A
I
This
is
proposed,
marijuana,
dispensary,
retail
use
at
this
location.
At
the
prior
meeting
we
had
a
traffic
analysis
and
traffic
study
already
performed,
I
believe
it's
in
your
manual
that
talked
about
the
traffic
and
this
area.
What
the
amount
of
traffic
will
take
at
this
area
regarding
the
parking
that
we
provide,
there's
a
requirement
of
19
parking
spaces
on
their
Zoning
for
this
size
use.
I
We,
the
building,
has
been
shrunk
in
detail
to
what's
existing
on
site,
there's
going
to
be
16
parking
spaces
designated,
so
the
the
limited
parking
relief
that
was
seeking
to
be
a
special
permit.
No
variances
there's
three
pocket
space
relief
through
the
previous
representation.
Through
the
traffic
analysis,
there
was
wasn't
a
concern
regarding
the
amount
of
parking
being
provided
and
I
will
recap
a
little
bit
regarding
how
the
always
operation
would
work.
I
It'd
be
Monday
through
Friday
is
10
a.m
to
10
p.m,
and
that
could
be
adjusted
accordingly
as
if
this
was
approved
and
being
operated
and
I
believe
on
Saturday.
It
is
10
to
8
p.m,
and
Sunday
is
12
to
8
P.M.
Other
things
is:
we've
talked
to
neighbors
and
butters
to
see
if
they
had
what
concerns
and
and
so
forth,
and
the
neighborhood
we
try
to
Canvas
as
much
as
we
can
to
try
to
get
input.
I
We
also
we
heard
about
concerns
regarding
in
the
prior
meeting
from
the
anabutter,
who
owns
multi-family
right,
either
next
door,
trade
or
close
to
it
and
concerns.
Regarding
you
know,
accidents
that's
taken
places
over
the
years,
I
mean
it's
on
the
Parkway
and
so
forth,
but
we
try
to
reflect
that.
This
structure
actually
will
improve
the
area
and
there's
also
concerns
regarding
drug
use
that
exists
in
that
area
by
this
type
of
development.
I
This
type
of
project
it
actually
will
clean
up
that
area,
because
now
the
building,
instead
of
being
almost
to
the
lot
line
in
the
corner
of
the
parkway,
it
actually
is
going
to
be
recessed
back
because
a
big
portion
of
the
building
will
be
coming
down.
If
I
may
take
this
off,
I
can
take
it
to
the
camera,
but,
as
you
can
see
that
all
this
is
can
be
reflected
back,
this
is
going
to
be
the
structure
over
here.
This
is
all
going
to
be
Landscaping.
I
This
is
all
going
to
be
additional
parking
spaces
that
currently
isn't
on
site.
So
this
is
all
going
to
be
now
a
well-lit
area
that
doesn't
exist.
Currently
this
will
have
off
tree
parking
that
doesn't
exist
at
this
portion
of
the
location.
Currently,
this
site
also
will
have
over
60
plus
cameras
due
to
the
use
and
the
operation
of
the
site.
I
Video
surveillance,
there'll,
be
cameras
and
there'll
also
be
letters
stamped
outside
regarding
signage,
that
you're
going
to
be
on
the
constant
surveillance
also
going
to
have
security
through
all
the
hours
of
operation,
on-site
monitoring,
the
parking
lot
and
people
entering
the
building,
so
it
will
alleviate
any
concerns
about
people
parking
on
the
sidewalk,
which
is
what
we're
represented
to
us
in
the
past.
At
this
location.
Prior
to
this
use
was
ever
in
place
so
by
by
this
type
of
development.
I
This
type
of
project-
you
know
at
least
through
those
hours
of
the
day,
those
issues
that
exist
it's
very
difficult
to
see
drug
use
in
an
area.
That's
going
to
be
well
lit
with
security,
Now
recess
back
and
also
alleviate
any
traffic
concerns,
because
if
people
are
coming
off
the
Parkway
and
they
were
taking
a
right
going
down
that
street
right
now,
the
building's
almost
to
the
lot
line
in
that
area-
and
you
can't
see
anything
and
now
the
building's
set
back
with
a
well-length
area
that
actually
alleviate
a
lot
of
those
concerns.
I
We've
also
heard
from
Neighbors
that
a
lot
of
time
at
night
time
people
are
talking
everywhere,
and
one
of
the
things
that
this
group,
after
talking
to
them,
is
that
they
would
consider
doing,
is
working
with
the
neighborhood
and
providing
like
a
residential
stick
of
format.
So
after
hours
of
operation,
in
the
same
way
that
City
Hall
does
it
that
you
can
park
overnight
and
leave
by
a
certain
hour
during
the
morning.
They
would
work
with
the
neighborhood
to
provide
those
those
pocket
spaces
when
they're
not
open
to
the
neighborhood.
I
I
Regarding
the
team,
it's
documented
in
the
book
got
his
favor
as
a
Chelsea
representative,
the
probably
the
first
I
think
it's
the
first
petition
from
someone
from
Chelsea
who's,
trying
to
get
a
marijuana,
dispensary
she's,
almost
she's
in
construction
phase
of
the
one
she's
doing
in
Somerville
and
that's
moving
along.
So
this
is
someone
who's
familiar
with
the
operation.
Who's
gone
through
the
process
and
you
know,
is
well
involved
with
many
other
businesses
throughout
the
city
of
Chelsea
and
others
and
other
cities.
So
this
is
a
person.
Who's
got
the
leadership
to
take
this.
I
You
know
all
the
way,
and
her
word
means
a
lot
and
her
background
means
a
lot
and
the
other
team
member
is
Leah
and
all
the
other
teams
that
are
there.
I
can
talk
in
detail,
but
it's
I
don't
want
to
recite.
What's
already
in
the
manual
what
we
already
did
we'll
be
here
all
day,
but
those
people,
the
team
they
assembled-
is
a
team.
They
have
assembled
them
in
the
past
and
moving
forward
that
can
handle
this
type
of
product
and
remember
I,
wouldn't
know
when
they
did
a
traffic
analysis.
I
The
traffic
analysis
always
done
by
you
know,
for
these
type
of
studies
to
the
worst
case
scenario,
it's
quite
quite
known,
I,
believe
and
I
believe
even
Cheryl
Watson
just
recently
said
an
email
because
we
had
to
provide
through
the
city
regarding
the
police
security
that
it's
been
approved.
What
they're
trying
to
do
here,
I
believe
that
was
submitted
to
John,
hopefully
today,
I'm
not
sure
but
I,
believe
they
submitted
that
today.
I
But
at
that
meeting
a
member
of
the
church
representative
was
here
and
saying
that
they
were
still
in
the
building
and
I
was
represented
that
they
weren't
in
the
building.
Again,
my
client
doesn't
own
the
property,
but
we
helped
them
when
we
got
involved
and
I
I
contacted
the
landlord
myself
personally
and
worked
with
the
church
and
they
actually
found
a
location
in
another
city
with
a
reduced
rent
and
a
lease
when
they're
at
World
tenants.
I
So
we
actually
still
tried
to
work
with
the
neighborhood
with
them
and
I
believe
we're
represented
from
the
churches
here.
That
can
talk
about
that.
But
this
is
what
we're
dealing
with
as
far
as
the
people
that
trying
to
occupy
this
space,
so
this
certainly
isn't
detrimental
to
enabled,
in
fact,
in
the
contrary,
this
type
of
use
is
alleviating
in
a
lot
of
the
concerns
that
actually
currently
exist
on
this
site.
I
Without
any
operational
use
so,
and
they
took
you,
know,
pains
and
detail
to
shrink
the
building,
offer
additional
parking
and,
more
importantly,
to
address
issues
of
drug
use
in
the
neighborhood
overnight
parking
in
the
neighborhood
and
and
Landscaping
Green
Space
well
lit.
This
will
change
that
corner
to
the
positive
rather
than
what
is
this
today
and
I'll
gladly
can
have
you
know
if
we
need
more
for
traffic
or
need
more
for
civil
engineering.
I
A
C
Board
recommended
approval
with
standard
conditions
as
applicable
one
consistent
set
of
plans,
which
is
a
sign
that
you
plan
second
floor
should
not
be
occupied
without
seeking
approval.
The
zoning
board
of
appeals,
a
maintenance
plan
for
the
proposed
two
foot
wide
Stone
drip
edge
around
the
parking
lot
and
a
packing
management
plan,
with
the
proposal
that
you're
going
to
allow
residents
in
the
area
to
park
overnight.
I
would
also
include
that
any
agreement
you
have
when
there's
no
parking
of
unregistered
vehicles
and
no
vehicle
repairs
on
site
absolutely.
D
I
I
I
Yeah,
it's
going
to
be
a
long-term
lease.
I
would
expect
even
longing
that,
because
the
cost
to
build
these
type
of
buildings
for
as
far
as
you
know,
air
conditioning
e-track
and
the
requirements,
the
state
has
it's
excessive
amount
of
money,
especially
that
they're,
basically
doing
the
whole
entire
building.
Over
and.
I
Well,
they're
going
to
be
taken
care
of
they're,
basically
controlling
the
whole
entire
site,
so
they'll
be
doing
that
in-house
Gladys
and
our
team
and
and
I
do
want
to
represent
last
time.
I
believe
Hugo.
You
mentioned
about
how
the
outside
was
the
very
next
day
we
went,
went
there
and
I
called
the
owner
and
I
also
got
Gladys
and
her
team
involved.
They
literally
personally
went
there
to
clean
up
the
site
and
we've
been
monitoring
it
ever
since,
but.
H
I
I
A
I
I
I
will
respect
your
question.
I
will
just
tell
you
that
the
landlord
has
an
alternate
site
in
Somerville
and
is
doing
a
lease
with
them,
which
they
currently
do
not
have
a
lease
at
a
reduced
rent
and
work
with
them
with
the
timeline
I
believe
it's
in
a
few
months
to
get
them
relocated
there
and
representative.
The
church
can
speak
about
that
and
we
got
involved
to
make
that
happen.
Meaning
me
the
team
of
Vita
Verde
to
make
sure
that
they
weren't
just
put
on
the
street
and
so
forth.
D
Regarding
the
parking
plan,
the
parking
and
the
signage
and
stuff
could
we
require
that
they
monitor
like
who
parks
on
the
street
I
know
it's
it's
a
it's
a
city
street,
but
just
to
make
sure
that,
like
no
one,
that's
going
to
the
facility
is
parking
on
Adams
Street.
You
know
you
know,
so
it
doesn't
interfere
with
parking
for
like
the
restaurants
or
the
neighbors.
Well,.
A
I
We
will
have
security
outside
in
signage,
I,
wouldn't
know
most
of
the
park
that
takes
place
now
on
the
sidewalks.
It's
because
nobody's
there
and
I
think
it's
not
legal
parking
per
se
when
this
is
all
built
and
constructed
and
landscaped
and
light
I
mean
it's
going
to
be,
at
least
through
the
hours
of
our
operation
be
able
to
be
controlled,
because
we
will
have
Security
on
staff
outside
monitoring
that.
So
that's
one
of
the
points
we're
trying
to
make
is
that
we're
going
to
make
sure
it
doesn't
happen
during
our
operation
and
post
operation.
J
I
It's
just
a
loading
dock
and
there
is
a
structure.
There
is
a
wall
there
and
that's,
essentially,
it
will
be
used
for
packing
for,
like
basically
it'd,
be
an
employee
or
a
representative
of
Vita
birdie,
but
when,
when
the
delivery
would
take
place
as
far
as
marijuana
delivery,
it
would
go,
they
wouldn't
be
parking
inside.
It
would
be
for
loading.
I
P
A
A
Q
J
A
Q
K
H
L
I
Department,
okay,
okay,
yeah
and
I
and
Jonathan.
We
did
provide
a
copy
of
the
host
agreement.
It's
actually
in
there
that
talks
about
what
they
would
be
paying
to
the
city
percentages.
It
also
talks
about
that
they're
going
to
be
giving
preference
to
Chelsea
residents
to
work
there
and
so
forth
in
discounts
to
Chelsea
residents,
I,
believe,
elderly
and
also
veterans.
That's
all
in
the
host
agreement.
Perfect.
G
This
regulated
industry,
that
is
so
strict
I,
want
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
I
as
any
person
that
I
invested
so
many
years
of
work
to
improve
the
quality
of
residents
of
Chelsea
I
would
be
responsible
for
making
sure
that
it's
done
the
right
way,
because
my
time
in
the
this
community
is
not
going
to
be
taken,
for
you
know,
I'm
not
going
to
dispose
my
time
just
because
I'm
doing
a
cannabis
project
and
and
Breaking
All,
the
Rules.
Absolutely
you
know
I'll
do
everything
so
I
think
that
that's
what
changed
for
me.
A
R
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
Carla
Acevedo
and
I'm.
Here
on
behalf
of
my
pastor,
Rebecca
Tejeda
in
our
church,
New
Beginning,
CCF
Chelsea.
We
came
to
the
last
planning
meeting
for
two
reasons:
one
because
we
wanted
the
committee
to
know
that
we
had
been
renting
that
space
for
the
past
two
years
and
two
because
we
were
concerned
because
we
had
just
found
out
that
this
dispensary
was
a
possibility
and
we
didn't
have
a
lease.
We
didn't
know
if
we
were
going
to
get
kicked
out
or
what
the
deal
was.
R
But
since
that
meeting
we
have
been
working
with
attorney
Anthony
Rosie,
who
has
advocated
on
our
behalf
and
our
landlord,
has
been
gracious
enough
to
find
another
location
from
one
of
his
other
properties
in
Somerville
and
has
reduced
the
rent
for
us.
And
so
we
are
going
to
be
going
back
to
see
the
space
again
with
the
rest
of
our
leadership
on
Friday
to
discuss
the
final
details
of
that.
So
just
want
to.
R
A
R
S
Hello,
I'm
June,
Bowman
I'm,
the
owner
of
the
building
on
2
Adams,
Street
multi-family.
My
sister
lives
there,
my
other
sister,
three
of
us
own.
The
building
I
just
want
to
be
on
record
that
we're
very
pleased
that
the
size
of
the
building
has
decreased
and
the
parking
has
increased.
That
has
been
our
major
concern.
It's
not
the
type
of
business.
It's
the
street,
the
traffic.
The
parking
has
been
an
issue.
It's
been
an
issue
for
our
tenants
and
we
hope
they've
had
trouble,
leaving
the
driveway
being
able
to
turn.
S
T
T
T
U
All
of
the
names
that
mentioned
all
of
the
people
that
have
showed
up
to
these
meetings
to
advocate
for
this
project
have
either
been
relatives
board
members
or
employees
of
this
non-profit
organization,
time
and
time
of
the
organization
that
the
proponent
works.
For
time
and
time
and
again
we
I've
come
here
and
I've
come
to
these
meetings
and
we're
Fanning
over
somebody
that
does
incredible
work
in
this
community.
No
one
can
ever
take
that
away
from
this
individual.
U
U
We,
we
I
it
passed
in
a
way
and
I
know
that
that's
not
up
to
the
zoning
board
to
consider,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
it
passed
it's
zoning,
its
law.
It
is,
but
there's
been
very
unethical
things
that
have
happened
with
respect
to
this
project,
with
the
zoning,
with
the
way
that
who's
coming
here
to
to
speak
up
on
behalf
of
this
people
walk
up
and
it's
like.
Are
you
a
daughter?
Are
you
a
city?
Councilor?
Are
you
an
employee?
U
It's
very
conflated
and
I'm
really
concerned
that
if
we
don't
really
start
to
pay
attention
to
the
community
and
the
needs
and
what
the
people
are
actually
saying
that,
because
a
lot
of
this
Behavior
and
the
concentration
of
power
is
reminiscent
of
the
days
that
led
us
into
receivership,
I'm
on
my
last
I
run
in
terms
of
the
city
council,
I
am
exhausted,
but
I
will
not
be
doing
the
work
of
the
people.
If
I
didn't
come
here
and
say
the
truth.
U
Furthermore,
the
economic
empowerment
certificate
and
and
and
and
that
route
is
something
that
was
given
to
people
that
were
impacted
by
the
racist
and
horrible
drug
laws
of
the
past,
and
the
proponent
has
actually
spoken
against
marijuana.
So
now
there's
this
opportunity
to
make
money
on
the
community.
Quite
frankly,
the
proponent
has
done
that
very
well,
and
the
face
of
kovitz
she's
managed
to
quite
frankly,
industrialize
poverty.
It's
it's
something
that
really
is
scary
to
me.
It's
scary,
and
it
should
be
scary
to
all
of
you.
U
I
am
asking
you
all
as
members
that
are
appointed
by
the
city
council
that
are
here
to
serve
the
work,
do
the
work
of
the
people
when
you
look
at
variances
and
the
and
the
factors
that
you
have
to
meet
at
terms
of
public
good,
there
aren't
residents
in
that
area.
I!
Dare
you
to
find
me
five
residents
in
that
area
that
want
it
there?
This
is
a
very
different
location.
U
This
is
a
very
different
location
than
Webster
Ave
or
Eastern
Ave,
or
even
back
where
King
Arthur
is
the
Old
King
Arthur
say
this
is
in
the
res.
Is
the
residential
area,
my
mother
lives
in
the
area,
my
family
lives
in
the
area.
My
niece
lost
her
life
around
the
corner
in
that
same
area,
I'm,
very
familiar
with
it.
U
High
traffic
and
honestly
I
don't
know
who
sets
this
up,
but
I
have
yet
if
I
had
a
million
dollars
for
every
time
a
proponent
came
up
here
and
had
a
traffic
analysis
that
went
against
their
project,
I'd
be
poor,
so
you
know,
quite
frankly,
we
really
need
to
reevaluate
the
way
that
we
do
things.
I
really
hope
that
this
board
considers
some
of
the
things
that
I
have
mentioned.
U
The
people
do
not
want
it
and
I'm
not
saying
that
this
person
should
not
have
this
project
sure
do
wherever
you
want,
do
it
somewhere
else,
but
if
the
people
of
this
area
don't
want
it,
then
who
exactly?
Are
we
working
for
I,
really
hope
that
you
take
these
matters
into
consideration
and
consider
my
comments
in
terms
of
ethics
and
conflicted
interests
of
four,
a
forewarning
of
something
that's
pending
a
pending
to
him
on
the
city?
Thank
you.
V
Judith
Garcia
City
councilor
for
District
Five.
Do
you
need
the
address?
Do
you
need
an
address?
Yes,
please
138,
Walnut
Street,
so
I
am
going
to
focus
on
the
matter
at
hand
and
what
we're
talking
and
what
we're
asking
you
to
do
is
to
evaluate
the
project.
That's
before
you,
specifically
zoning
and
I
think
that,
unfortunately,
we
are
forcing
someone
who
is
here
as
an
applicant
to
bring
a
business
forward
and
we're
focusing
on
the
wrong
things.
We're
trying
to
really
misguide
the
conversation
about
a
non-profit
and
the
nonprofit
is
not
before
us
right
now.
V
The
executive
director
of
that
non-profit
is
not
before
you
right
now,
who
is
here
right
now
are
three
women
that
I
should
remind
everyone.
Here
we
have
three
applicants:
it's
not
only
Gladys
Vega.
We
have
two
other
women
listed
on
this
application
that
are
applying
for
this
project.
So
let's
ignore
the
personal
Sentiments
of
attack,
the
the
the
the
constant
social
media,
bullying
that
continues
to
happen
on
a
daily
basis
and,
let's
focus
with
the
matter
at
hand,
you're
being
asked
to
evaluate
a
zoning
project.
V
That
is
adequate
for
the
needs
of
zoning,
and
that
is
adequate
and
brings
to
an
extent
some
sort
of
peace
to
the
butters
that
are
being
directly
impacted
and
as
a
city,
councilor
I
can
tell
you
that
it
pains
me
when
applicants
here
need
to
somehow
defend
their
interest
and
their
desire
to
open
a
business
here
and
to
seek
some
sort
of
success
and
profit.
You
know
why
do
we
have
to
put
someone
under
the
Limelight
of
Defending?
Why
do
you
want
to
open
a
business
here?
What
has
changed
in
your
thought
process?
V
You
know
that
let's
take
the
personal
out
of
it
and
let's
focus
on
the
applicant
and
what
I've
seen
here,
and
what
I've
heard
here
from
two
abutters
that,
to
an
extent
could
have
been
impacted,
is
that
they
feel
okay
with
the
sort
of
concessions
that
have
taken
place
from
negotiating
from
talking
and
honestly
we're
looking
at
a
lifelong
resident
of
this
community
who's
who's,
submitting
an
application
to
run
a
business
ethically
and
to
run
it
right
and
perhaps
we'd
I.
You
know,
I,
don't
know
what
to
tell
you.
V
Do
we
want
someone
from
Ohio
or
Colorado
to
come
to
our
community
who's,
not
invested?
Who
hasn't
done
half
of
the
work
that
one
of
the
applicants
that
has
done
for
this
community
so
I
feel
that
please
it
is
your
duty
to
take
away
the
personal
aspect
of
it.
If,
if
you
know
I
I
personally,
just
got
out
of
a
campaign
and
I
was
door
knocking
myself
and
when
residents
wants
to
show
up
and
are
fully
against
a
project,
they
should
be
here.
V
They
would
be
here,
and
what
we
have
here
are
are
two
people
to
a
Butters,
others
that
have
spoken
in
favor
of
it.
Please,
you
know,
I,
ask
you,
look
at
the
matter
at
hand,
look
at
what
you're
being
asked
to
do.
Look
at
the
zoning
and
let's
leave
the
personal
attacks
out
of
it,
and
please
consider
to
support
a
lifelong
resident
of
this
community
that
is
seeking
to
run
a
business
and
to
do
it
well
and
as
best
as
she
can
so.
Thank.

W
W
W
I
live
but
I've
lived
everywhere
in
Chelsea,
so
I'm
not
talking
as
someone
that
just
lives
in
one
location,
I
work
for
Chelsea,
too
I've
gone
to
school,
with
half
of
you
and
I
didn't
hear
any
facts
be
said
so
I
needed
to
come
and
make
sure
that
I'm
here,
just
as
a
Chelsea
resident,
because
I
support
a
business
not
because
I'm,
a
relative
and
not
because
I'm
an
employee
but
because
I
support
the
idea.
I
have
a
disorder
and
I
suffer
from
chronic
pain,
and
none
of
the
dispensaries
that
you
guys
have
allowed.
W
Give
me
my
benefits
or
allow
me
to
not
take
the
drugs
that
everybody
else
is
addicted
to,
and
my
choice
is
to
use
medical
marijuana,
but
you
guys
are
not
offering
a
dispensary
for
us.
We
have
to
leave
and
go
to
another
city
and
I
am
a
resident
and
I
use
it,
because
I've
been
disabled
for
11
years
and
I
choose
that
instead
of
Vicodin
instead
of
Oxycodone.
But
you
guys
are
not
considering
that
part.
So
I
wanted
to
come
as
someone
who
uses
it
medically
for
10
plus
years,
and
this
isn't
for
fun.
W
This
is
because
I
want
to
be
looked
at
because,
unfortunately,
I
am
disabled,
I
am
limited
and
I
don't
want
to
become
an
addict
to
the
things
that
are
okay
with
everyone.
I
would
like
a
choice
for
myself
and
Gladys
is
the
only
one
offering
me
this
choice
in
Chelsea,
so
I
don't
have
to
go
to
East.
Boston
I
can
keep
my
money
in
Chelsea,
where
my
kids
go
to
school,
where
I
work,
where
all
of
us
are
still
here
all
for
a
reason
and
I
count.
It's
just
not.
W
W
W
Mass
health
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
get
a
discount
so
that
we
don't
become
addicted
to
oxycodone
and
all
of
the
wonderful
things,
but
that's
not
being
spoken
of
yet
you
guys
are
not
worried
about
us
or
our
choice
of
something
more
natural,
because
everyone
says
it's
okay
for
me
to
become
a
pill,
addict
and
then
be
taken
away
and
then
be
put
on
another
pill
to
get
over
that
pill,
just
not
a
not
a
relative,
not
an
employee,
just
a
resident
and
a
medical
user
for
10
plus
years.
Thank
you
thank
you.
A
X
Hi,
my
name
is
Anthony
quiles
10,
Lachlan,
Road,
Winchester,
Mass
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Chelsea
I've,
been
through
the
process
since
the
beginning
and
basically
I.
Think
Judith
Garcia
had
a
very
important
point
that
we
have
to
focus
on
the
business
and
not
the
politics
around
the
city.
I
do
like
how
the
plans
have
been
improved,
I
just
wanna
for
the
record.
You
know
I
used
to
be
a
building
official
and
sat
on
the
same
board
and
had
to
make
the
same
decisions
that
you're
about
to
make
today.
X
So
I
do
implore
you
to
really
look
at
this
as
a
business
matter
and
not
as
a
political
or
any
of
that
so
I
like
the
fact
that
the
parking
has
improved,
which
has
helped
the
butters
immensely
I,
like
the
fact
that
they
have
security
all
the
time
while
they
have
the
working
hours
that
could
actually
look
at
traffic.
Look
at
all
these
things,
the
parking,
the
movement
parts
of
all
the
business,
so
I
just
wanted
to
come
and
say:
I
support
the
project.
X
X
What
they're
doing
with
parking
is
is
saying
like
summable
Pro,
they
approved
a
project
99
units
with
several
parking
space,
because
if
you
don't
have
parking
space,
then
you
don't
have
vehicles
and
if
you
don't
have
vehicles,
there's
no
need
to
park
anywhere
right.
So
that's
the
green
initiative,
and
these
are
things
that
sometimes
the
city
has
to
look
at.
You
know
things
that
other
bigger
cities
are
doing
to
impact.
You
know
our
community,
so
Anthony
quiles.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today
and
I
approve
I
I
for
this
project.
Okay,.
A
C
Planning
board
recommended
approval
with
standard
conditions
as
a
book
about
one's
consistent
set
of
plans,
a
signage
plan,
second,
floor
non-occupied,
without
singing
approval
to
zba
maintenance
plan
for
the
proposed
two
foot
wide
Stone
drip
edge
hockey
management
plan
and
I
added,
based
on
the
allowing
residents
to
park
into
overnight
no
parking
of
unregistered
vehicles
and
no
vehicle
repair
on
site.
Okay,.
A
L
L
All
right
so,
as
I
was
saying,
I
was
still
a
grave
concern
with
traffic.
I
also
appreciate
the
church
component
that
you
guys
took
the
time
to
work
with
them
and
find
a
proper
placement
for
that.
I
do
also
want
to
say
that
it's
important
to
think
about
and
not
undermine
or
disregard
what
a
counselor
in
that
district
is
saying,
because
that
counselor
represents
their
constituents,
so
his
constituents
don't
need
to
be
here
if
he
is
here
speaking
on
their
behalf
and
as
fellow
counselors
I
would
you
know,
request
to
respect
that.
L
I
also
believe
that
it's
not
personal
and
it
was
never
personal,
but
it's
the
job
that
we
do
as
a
board
as
a
body,
and
especially
here
at
the
zoning
board,
we
respectfully
review
each
and
every
case,
and
not
one
person
is
above
or
better
than
another
person
to
be
scrutinized
to
be
asked
properly
in
order
to
make
the
best
decision.
So
I
just
wanted
to
clarify.
A
D
D
A
lot
of
the
things
that
you
said
Joanne,
you
know
I
think
that
there's
been
so
much
improvement
this
past
year
with
the
plan
you
know
and
I
commend
Vida
Verde
for
all
the
work
that
they've
done
to
accommodate.
You
know
the
the
residents,
because
I
think
that
they
really
took
into
account.
You
know
what
the
community
had
to
say.
You
know
and
as
you
can
see
from
today
with
the
residents
that
are
here
that
came
up
and
spoke
and
said
you
know
we're
going
to
work
things
out.
D
So
it's
a
big
improvement
from
the
first
time
that
the
case
came
before
us
and
you
know
I
think
it'll,
it'll
work
I
feel
that
it'll
work
for
that
area.
You
know
and
I
think
that
the
ownership
of
this
facility
is
going
to
do
everything
in
their
power
to
manage
the
site
properly
and
to
work
with
the
the
community
in
the
area.
So
I'm
gonna
make
a
motion
to
approved
for
the
case.
So
with.

We
want
to
build
a
shed
in
the
back
of
our
yard
on
a
patio,
that's
not
being
used.
It
meets
the
requirements
on
three
sides,
but
on
the
side
that
it
puts
my
sister's
property,
it
requires
five
feet
and
I
only
have
two
and
a
half
feet,
and
this
is
why
I'm
here
I'm
asking
for
a
special
permit
to
put
this
on
there.
A
A
A
For
one
case,
twenty
twenty
two
thirty
two
four
one:
six
Crescent
Ave
Elba
Rojas
special
permit
and
variance
seeking
approval
for
conversion
of
an
existing
structure
with
one
residential
unit
and
one
commercial
unit
into
a
two
residential
unit
structure
which
does
not
meet
the
current
city
of
Chelsea's
zoning
ordinances
for
minimum
lot
area;
minimum
open
space
in
off-street
parking
John.
What
did
the
planning
board
have
to
say
on
this?
One.
C
H
A
A
H
P
P
P
J
A
Any
other
questions:
okay,
I'm
gonna,
open
this
up
to
the
public.
Is
there
anyone
who
wishes
to
speak
on
this
there
being
none
I'm,
closing
the
public
participation
portion
of
the
hearing
now
you're.
Looking
for
a
variance
John
remind
us
again
what
the
variance
is
for
minimum
lot
area,
minimum
open
minimum
lot
area,
I
think,
but
minimum.
A
As
a
reminder,
you're
not
making
any
changes
to
the
structure
right-
oh
you're,
just
all
right,
that's
important
as
we
develop
this
okay,
so
you
have
to
answer
each
one
of
these.
This
is
you're.
Looking
for
a
variance
which
means
there
are
four
requirements
you
have
to
meet.
You
have
to
meet
all
of
them:
okay,
so
I'm
going
to
go
through
the
first
one
and
we'll.
A
A
A
O
Is
tell
us
how
well
he's
going
to
be
able
to
to
get
more
rental
income
right
now
he's
receiving
very
minimal
rental
income,
because
you
know
she
paid
sometimes
she
paid.
Sometimes
she
doesn't
there's
a
whole
lot
of
trash.
It's
it's
involving
a
lot
of
issues
right
now.
So
in
regards
to
the
finances
and
the
the
quietness,
it's
going
to
be
a
complete
benefit.
A
P
A
O
A
A
D
Y
O
A
Oh
just
tell
me
that
one
okay,
so
the
next
two
are
a
little
outside
our
normal
I'm,
going
to
take
them
a
little
bit
out
of
order
they're
a
little
side
of
our
normal
approach,
so
I'm
gonna,
ask
Mr.
John
will
be
writing
some
structure
here,
I'm
going
to
take
20
22
33,
which
is
305
Eastern,
Ave,
clipdoll,
Inc
and
2022-37,
which
is
also
305,
Eastern
Ave,
which
is
called
select
parking
Inc.
So
these
are
both
appeal
one.
A
The
first
one
is
an
appeal
seeking
reversal
of
a
October
on
August
25th
2022,
see
some
desist
order
for
operation
of
an
illegal
park
and
fly
facility,
and
the
second
is
an
appeal.
So
you
can
get
a
determination
by
the
board
as
to
whether
the
basis
of
the
order
is
correct
relative
to
the
October
11
22,
cease
and
desist
order
for
operation
of
an
illegal
park
and
fly
facility.
Since
this
makes
no
sense
to
me,
I'd
like
you
to
please
explain
what
we're
here
doing.
AA
Sure,
good
evening,
Madam,
chair
and
through
to
the
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Richard
Linds
I'm,
an
attorney
with
a
business
address
of
245
Sumner
Street
in
East
Boston
on
behalf
of
Select
parking,
Inc
I'm.
Also,
here's
the
authorized
agent
for
glyptel
Inc
with
respect
to
the
first
appeal
that
is
before
the
board,
with
respect
to
the
first
appeal
filed
by
glyptelling,
Madam,
chairman
respectfully,
requesting
that
that
appeal
be
withdrawn.
The
basis
for
that
is
that
the
seasoned
desist
order
that
was
originally
issued.
AA
We
argue,
was
issued
in
error
to
glyptel
link
and
should
have
been
issued
to
the
actual
owner
of
the
property.
A
subsequent
seasoned
assist
order
was
ultimately
issued
to
the
owner
of
the
property,
and
we
are
now
appearing
on
behalf
of
that
tenant,
which
is
Select
parking
Inc.
So
with
respect
to
the
first
case
with
respectfully
requesting
withdrawal,
and
we
will
proceed
on
the
second
case.
Do.
A
AA
I'm,
not
sure
if
Mr
mcateer
is
President
I,
don't
let's
see
so
I
I
would
expect
that
when
a
cease
and
desist
order
is
presented
and
issued
to
a
property
owner,
and
we
request
that
the
board
interpret
or
determine
whether
that
order
has
been
issued
correctly.
Typically,
my
experience
is
that
the
person
issuing
the
order
is
able
to
provide
some
background
or
some
evidence
that
supports
the
order
itself.
AA
Pursuant
to
section
35
34-209b1
of
the
revised
ordinance
of
the
city
of
Chelsea
entitled
occupancy
perm,
which
states
that
no
premises,
building,
structure
or
land
shall
be
occupied,
used
or
changed
and
used,
or
used
in
the
conduct
of
any
business
without
an
occupancy
permit.
In
the
name
of
said,
business
you're
hereby
order
to
cease
and
desist
this
illegal
occupancy
forth
with
failure
to
comply
with
this
lawful
order
result
in
Daily
fines
and
Court
action
by
this
department
to
ensure
compliance
with
respect
to
what
is
before
the
board
this
evening.
AA
AA
Just
by
way
of
brief
background,
my
client
select
parking
Inc
does
maintain
a
tendency
at
the
premises.
I
can
State
clearly
on
behalf
of
my
client.
There
is
not
a
park
and
fly
operation,
as
that
term
may
be
defined
in
the
Chelsea
zoning
ordinance.
With
respect
to
the
operation,
I
can't
explain
to
the
board
that
there
is
the
temporary
storage
of
vehicles
on
the
site.
There
is
no
signage
on
the
site.
AA
There
is
no
address
associated
with
the
site
where
the
general
public
is
invited
to
come,
Park
its
car
and
then
travel
via
another
mode
of
transportation.
There
are
no
rental
or
vehicles
for
hire
stored
on
the
site.
These
are
simply
vehicles
that
are
parked
at
another
location
in
10,
temporarily,
move
to
this
site
and
then
returned
to
the
owner
at
their
request
and
I
know.
AA
That
sounds
a
little
bit
technical
Madam
chair,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
purposes
of
this
hearing
and
the
fact
that
Mr
mcateer
is
not
here
to
state
in
support
of
what
his
position
is
with
respect
to
the
cease
and
desist
and
therefore
we're
asking
respectfully
this
board
overturned.
The
Season's
assist
order
based
upon
the
fact
that
there's
not
ample
evidence
as
to
what
the
basis
of
the
seasoned
assist
is
in
the
alternative.
AA
If
the
board
is
to
determine
that
the
order
is
correct
and
that
the
cease
and
desist
should
be
upheld,
we're
respectfully
requesting
that
we
have
ample
time
to
file
for
the
appropriate
permit.
For
that
and
the
reason
why
we
have
not
filed
for
that
permit
at
this
time
for
purposes
of
of
whatever
use
that
may
be
determined
is.
It
is
unclear
as
to
what
that
type
of
use
is.
We
don't
believe
it
falls
under
the
definition
of
a
park
and
fly.
AA
If
anything,
it
falls
in
the
definition
of
a
parking
lot
and
not
necessarily
the
specific
definition
that
the
city
Chelsea
uses
for
park
and
fly.
So
with
that
said
again.
If
the
board
is
inclined
to
determine
that
the
cease
and
desist
was
correct,
we
would
ask
for
a
reasonable
period
of
time
to
file
for
the
appropriate
permit
and
perhaps
appear
before
the
this
board
of
the
planning
board.
AA
With
respect
to
any
approval,
that's
necessary
if
we're
not
successful
in
doing
that,
perhaps
by
a
reasonable
date,
we
will
agree
and
we'll
agree
on
the
record
that
the
operations,
whatever
they
may
be
ultimately
determined
to
be,
will
cease,
and
we
will
vacate
the
premises
and
dispense
with
any
need
for
any
further
cease
to
desist
or
any
Court
action
by
the
city
of
Chelsea.
Happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Madam
chair.
A
C
AA
C
C
So
select
parking
Inc
is
obviously
running
some
long-term
parking
operation
in
those
other
communities
where
they
need
this
extra
space
in
order
to
store
them.
Otherwise,
it's
not
something
like
someone
comes
in
and
parks
at
their
business
for
the
day
and
they
get
moved
over
to
Chelsea.
There
is
some
sort
of
long-term
parking
elsewhere
and
these
vehicles
are
being
stored
here.
H
AA
A
Mean
it's
definitely,
it
might
not
be
a
park
and
somebody's
flying,
but
it's
parking
because
somebody's
going
to
use
it
the
people
it's
being
parked
there
for
the
use
of
other
people
right
or
I
mean
it's
a
park
and
fly
seems
to
be
somebody's
parking,
their
car
there
and
they're
going
and
they're
getting
on
a
plane,
so
they're
leaving
their
cars
there.
But.
A
Y
There
a
situation
where
a
like
over
in
Charlestown
there,
the
ships
come
in
with
the
cause
from
the
foreign
countries
and
just
put
the
cards
there,
that's
one
question
and
then
the
other
is
it
just
simply
dealer
cars
that
are
being
stored
there
and
because
nowadays
there
there
are
these
Mega
dealerships
and
they
don't
have
enough
room,
but
they
want
to
have
the
inventory
and
they
Park
them.
There
are
those
any
of
the
applicants.
AA
Yeah
not
that
I'm,
aware
of
I,
don't
believe
any
of
the
vehicles
that
are
parked
at
Eastern
Ave
are
either
corporately
or
unregistered
Vehicles.
These
are
all
privately
owned.
Vehicles
that
go
to
a
certain
location,
not
Eastern
Ave,
they
pay
whatever
fee
they
pay
and
their
vehicle
is
parked
there.
There
are
oftentimes
where
those
Vehicles
will
then
be
moved
to
other
locations,
including
Eastern,
Ave,
okay,
but
nobody
goes
to
Eastern
Ave
to
park
their
vehicle
to
pay.
There's
no
signage,
there's!
No!
AA
A
AA
AA
Asking
if
we
at
that
point,
you've
made
a
determination
that
the
inspector
is
correct
in
determining
what
the
use
is
or
that
illegal
use
is
which
then
gives
us
the
ability
to
understand
if
we're
going
to
proceed,
what
the
specific
permit
that
we
would
apply
for
whether
it's
parking
lot
or
park
and
fly
and
that's
been
something
I've
been
attempting
to
speak
to
Mr
mcateer
about
including
the
original
complaint
or
original
seasoned
assist
as
well
and
trying
to
get
that
dismissed.
So
our
our
understanding
is
that
it's
unclear
we
have
a
we.
AA
We
take
the
position,
it's
not
a
park
and
fly
it's
a
parking
lot.
If
the
determination
of
this
board
is
that
the
cease
and
desist
is
appropriate,
you
are
in
essence
determining
that
this
is
a
park
and
fly
I.
I
reserve
my
right
to
object
to
that,
because
I
don't
think
Mr
mcateer
is
here
to
provide
any
supporting
evidence
of
that.
However,
if
you
were
to
go
ahead
and
make
that
determination,
we
would
then
respectfully
ask
to
have
a
reasonable
period
of
time
to
file
for
our
permit.
AA
If
it's,
if
it's
that's,
that's
the
board's
decision,
the
board
has
the
authority
under
40a
to
make
such
orders
in
this
type
of
case
as
the
board
deems
appropriate
within
its
purview
and
jurisdiction.
We
would
ask
that
any
fines
be
State
until
such
time
as
we
can
either
file
for
that
permit
and
seek
whatever
appropriate
relief.
C
AA
C
AA
A
Here
I
mean
because
I
would
like
to
hear
why
he
chose
that
and
I
I
was
going
to
ask
you
if
that's
something
that,
because
I'm
not
comfortable
I,
don't
I'm
not
comfortable
disagreeing
with
him
when
he's
not
here
to
defend
himself,
nor
am
I
comfortable
unfairly.
Penalizing
your
client
when
he's
not
here
to
to
talk
about
it.
So
that's
that's
my
feeling.
People
do
you
feel
comfortable
asking
that
this
come
to
us
in
January,
yes,
Joan!
A
AA
AA
A
H
AA
AA
A
Okay.
Now
we
have
a
whole
set
of
new
hearings
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
today.
All
none
of
the
will
be
listening
to
these
today,
but
none
of
them
will
be
having
decisions
made
because
they
are
all
for
special
permits,
means
they'll
all
be
going
to
the
planning
board
on
12
20,
the
20th
of
December
and
back
here
on
January
10th,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
aware
of
that,
we'll
be
hearing
them.

requires
a

However,
we
will
only
be
utilizing

We
do
currently
have

Am
I
correct
that
you
have
them
already?
Okay,
great,
so
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
want
to
just
page
through
you
tell
me.
If
you
want
me,
you
can
slowly
page
through
I
know
it
might
be
an
easier
thing
to
look
at
it
on
a
hard
copy.
But
then,
after
these
we
have
interior
renderings,
which
you
did
not
have
earlier.

AC
AC
Great
well,
he
had
queued
up
the
picture,
so
I
just
thought.
You
wanted
me
to
get
right
to
that.
Okay,
so
I'll,
do
the

yeah,
sorry
about
that
company
overview,

people
with
disabilities,
veterans,
people
of
all

AC
Community

should
we
obtain

receive
all

A
AC
Right
go
ahead,
okay,
so
the
next
slide
is.
This
is
where
the
beginning
of
the
pages
that
you
already
have
is
print
out,
so
you
could
scroll
forward
no,
but
that,
but
what?
Because?
Okay,
let's
go
ahead!
Okay,
I
just
don't
want
to
be
too
redundant.
So
this
this
is
a
long
set
of
slides.
That
is
everything
that
you
guys
already
have
and
then,
when
we
get
to
the
end
of
these
drawings,
you'll
see
the
interior
renderings
that
you
don't
have
currently
that
are
here
on
this

Right,
this
is
the
lock
up
area
where
the
van
would
pull
in
with
the
product
dedicated
set
of
stairs
dedicated
entrance
Door
for
the
receiving
area
which
would
bring
in
the
product-
and
this
is
the
Vault
over
here-
and
this
is
where
the
cashiers
are
cashier
counter
patrons
would
purchase
and
then
they
would
leave.
So
this
is
the
door
for
the
public,
and
this
is
the
security
door
for
bringing
in
the
product.
A
AD
AD
C
AD
Correct,
that's
correct:
it's
a
two-story
building,
okay,
all
right!
So
this
is
the
existing
elevation.
The
this
is
Second
Street
this
way.
Okay-
and
this
is
the
proposed
elevation.
So
what
we're
proposing
to
do
is
to
remove
that
window
and
create
a
new
door
with
a
new
set
of
stairs
dedicated
to
the.
AD
A

AC

People
went
to
through
the
front
door,
they
will
come
into
a
vestibule,
they
will
be
backed
by
the
security
person.
They
will
be
then
led
into
like
a
vestibule
area
that
is
secured
both
doors
locked.
We
will
be
using
a
computer
system
where
they'll
enter
her
their
identification
card,
which
will
verify
that
it
is
real
who
they
are
date
of
birth
vet
them.
Then
they
will
excuse
me,
then
it
will
be
led
into
the
from
the
security
room
to
the
commercial
establishment
where
they
sell.

Z
Paul
development
for
special
permit
and
variance
seeking
approval
to
demolish
the
existing
two-family
structure
and
for
the
construction
of
a
15
dwelling
unit
structure
which
does
not
meet
the
city
of
Chelsea.
Zoning
ordinance
for
maximum
density
off
street
parking,
minimum
lot
size
and
minimum
open
space.
I
Actually,
my
client
is
looking
to
take
this
property
down
and
build
a
15
unit.
A
new
construction
building,
Mario's
approaches
a
piece
development
he's
sitting
in
the
first
row.
He's
done
other
projects
that
come
before
this
board
on
Spencer
Ave
and
he's
worked
with
the
city.
I
have
many
conversations
with
John.
We
got
him
this
site
in
this
project.
I
Okay
and
that
fourth
unit
would
be
at
it
and
I
wrote
a
letter
to
the
to
John
and
the
board
to
reflect
what
I'm
stating
so
it's
on
in
the
application.
The
fourth
unit
would
still
count
as
inclusionary
and
that
would
be
based
on
80
Ami
and
it
would
still
count
as
an
inclusionary
unit,
and
that
would
probably
be
a
two
bedroom
unit
and
we
can
identify
that
before
the
planning
board
and
also
the
zba,
the
the
the
amount.
Basically,
the
relief,
that's
being
sought.
Everything
else
is
built
within
the
setbacks.
I
The
frontage
is,
you
know,
40
feet
requirement.
We
have
100
feet
far
is
1.0
under
the
1.0
we
didn't
even
maximize
it.
Height
is
36
feet.
It's
32
feet,
that's
being
proposed.
The
the
rare
yacht
setback
20
feet,
30
feet,
we're
proposing
lot.
Coverage
is
40
percent
and
we're
providing
33
and
minimal
open
space.
It's
the
only
other
relief,
that's
being
software
Green
Space,
it's
150
square
feet,
requirement
and
113
square
feet.
We
could
do
roof
deck.
I
You
know
to
do
that,
but
I
have
to
speak
with
the
planning
department.
I
made
more
sense
not
to
have
a
roof
Tech
to
satisfy
the
open
space.
It
might
be
better
just
to
keep
it
to
the
113
square
feet
of
space
that
had
rooftops
in
that
neighborhood
because
of
people
sort
of
frowned
upon
that
in
that
neighborhood.
So
that's
how
that
came
about.
I
As
far
as
the
plan
is
concerned,
the
plans
are
accurate
on
detail
like
I
stated,
it'll
be
11,
one
bedrooms
and
four
two
bedrooms,
and
the
only
thing
that
I
want
to
state
that
the
architect
I
don't
have
the
current
and
we'll
update
it,
but
it
shows
a
sub
basement
with
an
elevator
in
it,
but
they
won't
be
a
sub
basement.
There's
no
basement
it's
at
ground
and
no
elevated.
This
isn't
a
flood
plain,
so
the
project
had
to
be
designed
around
a
floodplain
elevation,
so
you
can't
have
Mechanicals
or
elevator
in
the
basement.
I
So
there's
no
basement
it's
going
to
be
accurate
and
I'll
update
those
plans,
the
planning
board
and
also
before
the
zba
prior
to
the
next
meeting.
Essentially,
everything
else
is
compliant.
It'll
provide
a
special
permanent
relief,
we'll
be
required
for
packing,
because
only
15,
Pockets,
basically
provided
and
I
believe
30
are
required
under
the
zoning.
I
30
should
be
required
under
the
zoning
in
15
parking
space
to
be
provided
one
per
unit,
which
is
essentially
why
most
of
these
units
are
one
bedroom
units
and
my
client
is
quite
familiar.
He
has
multiple
bedroom
units
on
Spencer
Ave
and
those
units
really
have
one
pocket
space
per
unit,
so
he
feels
comfortable
with
this
type
of
project
and
he
does
luxury
buildings
in
the
area
and
he
does
not
Spencer
Ave
and
he
still
owns
those
properties
on
Spencer
Ave.
I
I
This
area
here
is
a
trash
roll
and
it
exits
from
the
outside
and
also
inside
the
building.
So
the
tenants
would
put
the
trash
inside
the
building
and
then
they
do
private
management
and
they
would
take
the
trash
out
on
trash
days
outside
the
building.
So
it's
never
going
to
be
off-site.
It's
always
going
to
be
inside
the
building
and
they're.
Actually
looking
also
for
a
bike
area
for
bike
storage
in
the
building
or
outside
the

That's
okay
and
then
because
you're
not
meeting
the
you're
exceeding
a
density
you're,
not
meeting
the
open
space,
you're
going
to
need
to
do
a
payment
to
the
community,
Improvement
trust
fund
and
then,
since
you're
also
getting
relief
from
parking.
You
know
none
of
the
tenants
are
going
to
be
eligible
to
participate
in
on-street
parking
and
the
fire
department
would
like
to
see
a
master
box,
fight
apartment
connection,
fire
alarm
panel
and
Knox
blocks
located
within
five
feet
of
the
entrance
of
the
building.
U
U
Math
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
really
hard
on
this
side
to
know.
What's
going
on
so
I'm
kind
of
guessing
so
I
might
be
speaking,
not
not
according
to
what's
there
but
I'm
concerned
about
the
presidents
that
were
sent
were
setting
when
we're
com
we're
conforming
two
family
buildings
to
15..
I.
Just
think
I
understand
that
if
they
don't
mean
the
requirements,
there's
a
fund
that
that
will
that
they
can
donate
funds
to,
but
I.
Don't
think
that
we
should
be
just
excusing
it.
U
Going
from
a
two
family
to
a
15
unit
structure
is
a
lot
and
I
understand
that
by
right
and
there's
there's
not
much
that
we
can
do,
but
I
just
want
us
to
keep
in
mind
Chelsea
when
on
hot
summer
days
is
10,
15,
20
degrees,
hotter
than
anywhere
else
in
in
the
in
the
city
or
the
state,
because
we
are
just
chopping
down
our
trees
and
building
buildings
and
planting
these
little
dinky
trees.
That,
quite
frankly,
don't
give
us
the
shade
that
we
need
so
I'm
just
from
an
environmental
perspective.
U
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
considering
this
when
these
projects
continue
to
come
up
here
and
I
am
continuing.
If
every
two
family
on
Spencer
Ave
started
to
change
their
structure
and
became
12
and
15
unit
buildings,
I
mean
we
are
just
running
Community
out
and
and
creating
a
system
where
people
can't
even
breathe.
Here
we
have
extreme
High
rates
of
asthma,
I
mean
the
public
health
data.
U
A
I
C
AI
AI
So,
as
a
board
is
aware,
we're
applying
for
a
retail
marijuana
facility
license.
We
want
to
renovate
the
existing
first
floor,
approximately
1500
square
feet,
largely
on
the
first
floor,
where
the
small
office
space
on
the
second
floor,
it's
really
the
mezzanine
at
307
Broadway,
it's
in
the
business
retail
District,
which
is
allowed
by
a
special
permit
from
this
board
as
I'm
joined
by
the
founders
of
concrete
Garden.
We
submitted
a
conforming
use
request
by
special
permit
to
the
for
the
proposed
marijuana.
AI
AI
Should
we
be
be
approved
and
complete
the
renovations
and
be
awarded
a
certificate
of
occupancy
will
apply
to
the
local
licensing
commission
as
well,
so
we
can
get
the
the
requisite
license
and
then
we'll
go
obviously
through
the
Cannabis
Control
Commission.
As
we
have
a
host
Community
agreement,
Vladimir
has
a
short
PowerPoint
that
he'll
run
through
and
then
I'll
just
finish
up
with
some
other
remarks,
and
we
can
talk
about
any
issues
that
the.
A
AH
AH
All
right
so
concrete
Garden
was
founded
by
myself,
Vladimir
Samuel
and
my
partner
Alex
yoyo
we're
both
long
time.
Chelsea
residents,
we
graduated
from
Chelsea
High
School
we've
held
positions
in
Chelsea,
I
worked
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
as
well
as
Roca
and
some
other
places.
So
we
we
strive
to
be
a
vertically
integrated
cannabis
company.
This
is
our
first
dispensary,
but
we
are
also
looking
at
a
cultivation
opportunities
for
the
dispensary
as
well
as
delivery
and
social
consumption.
AH
So
our
Personnel
is
myself:
Vladimir
Samuel,
Alex,
yoyo,
Elon
Rodriguez.
He
couldn't
be
with
us
tonight,
but
we
have
Dan
Carpenter
our
head
of
human
resources
and
Mona
Kingston,
a
board
member
who
will
handle
Communications
and
public
relations
and
and
yes
for
the
Personnel
that
we
have
here
today
and
let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
But.
AH
So
this
is
the
initial
floor
plan.
This
is
Broadway.
There
will
be
an
entrance
here
to
Broadway.
Our
business
entrance
will
be
there's
a
hallway
leading
to
the
business.
There
will
be
an
entry
where
you
will
then
be
met
by
security
at
the
security
window.
Will
then
check
you
in
and
then
they
will
allow
you
into
the
dispensary
to
shop.
Then
you
will
exit
through
a
separate
doorway
and
we
have
our
vault
over
here
to
the
right.
AH
We
plan
on
taking
deliveries
from
Division
Street,
so
there's
a
a
main
entrance
on
Division
Street,
where
we
will
take
the
deliveries
and
we
will
have
a
separate.
There
will
be
two
back
doors
for
us,
so
there
will
be
this
back
door
that
you
walk
into
and
then
there
will
be
a
separate
back
door
which
we'll
create,
which
will
then
lead
to
the
concrete
guard
and
and
then
we
will
have
deliveries
come
and
be
brought
into
the
vault
checked
in
and
then
left
in
the
vault.
AH
So
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
this
is
a
3D
rendering
of
what
the
space
will
look
like
after
construction.
This
is
the
hallway
and
the
entrance
with
the
security
vestibule,
and
then
we
have
the
the
cash
wrap,
the
the
point
of
sales,
where
we
will
take
the
transactions
we
have
shelving
in
the
back.
We
have
our
vault
here.
This
is
restrooms
in
the
back
area,
and
this
is
the
upstairs
which
will
have
the
break
room,
the
mechanical
room
in
the
office.
AH
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
we're
going
to
be
an
adult
use,
dispensing
with
no
on-site
consumption.
Our
proposed
hours
will
be
Monday
through
Saturday
10
a.m,
to
9
p.m,
and
Sunday
11
A.M
to
7
P.M.
We
will
be
receiving
deliveries
between
9,
A.M
and
1
p.m,
as
to
not
get
with
the
before
school
and
after
school.
Traffic
is
to
not
add
to
that.
There
will
be
signage
in
the
front
as
well
as
ample
Lighting
in
the
front
of
the
building
and
any
expired
or
return
cannabis.
AH
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
There
will
be
two
security
guards
on
site.
Customers
will
need
to
be
buzzed
into
the
store.
A
cannabis
related
deliveries
will
be
taken
on
Division
Street
between
8
A.M
and
2
pm
about
9,
A.M
and
1
p.m.
Tonight,
after
the
traffic
before
and
after
school,
FedEx
and
UPS
will
be
taken
in
the
front
entrance
it's
signed
by
for
security,
there
will
be
a
plethora
of
cam
cameras
and
other
security
and
surveillance
mechanisms
of
cameras,
Panic
buttons
things
of
that
nature
placed
around
the
store.
AH
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
So
this
is
the
timeline
for
opening.
We
secured
the
retail
location
in
September
2021.
We
signed
our
host
Community
agreement,
December
2021.
We
put
our
first
zoning
board
application
in
February
2022..
We
now
are
back
again
for
the
zoning
board
meeting
here
in
December.
C
Your
schedule's
a
little
off
you
if
you're
coming
to
the
the
boy
for
the
first
time
this
month,
you
the
earliest
you
get
your
permit,
would
be
January.
Then
I
have
to
write
up
a
decision
and
then
there's
a
20-day
appeal
period.
The
earliest
you're
going
to
be
able
to
stop
your
daughter
sometime
in
February,
maybe
March,
okay,.
AH
And
so
we
go
to
the
next,
so
this
is
a
construction
timeline
for
so
the
reason
we
withdrew
was
because
there
was
some
violations
in
the
building
with
the
city.
We
received
a
list
of
violations
on
September
9th
we
have
put
in
permits
for
building
we've,
put
applications
for
building
permits,
electrical
permits
and
plumbing
permits,
so
we're
just
waiting
for
them
to
get
back
to
us
and
we're
planning
to
start
that
work
in
January
and
we
believe
we'll
have
all
the
violations
remedied
and
the
building
up.
The
Code
by
March
of
2023.
A
Hey
John
last
time
this
is
in
front
of
us.
That
was
the
concern.
The
owner
had
failed
to
comply
with
doing
what
needed
to
be
done,
and
we
basically
let
this
be
withdrawn
to
see
if
the
applicant
could
work
with
the
owner
to
figure
out
who
was
going
to
fix
these
things,
to
make
it
compliant
correct.
I.
C
AH
R
A
A
AI
So
what's
interesting
about
concrete
Garden,
they
seem
to
be
really
an
ideal
applicant
for
Chelsea
I
mean
they're,
obviously
hyper
local
people.
They
also
are
certified
economic
empowerment
and
social
Equity
with
the
Cannabis
Control
Commission.
So,
according
to
the
Chelsea
ordinance,
some
of
the
local
licenses
are
reserved
for
for
San
for
Vladimir
and
his
group.
So
we're
excited
to
be
here,
I
mean
this
is
the
only
place
they
would
go
to
start
because
they're
from
here,
but
also
they
are
an
appropriate
applicant
based
essentially
under
your
ordinance.
AI
So
we
talked
about
the
concerns
with
the
building
we're
working
on
curing
the
issues,
given
the
fact
that
we
are
just
locating
in
a
discrete
retail
portion
of
the
building,
we've
been
pulling
the
permits
we're
eager
to
get
to
work,
should
the
special
permit
be
awarded.
It
sounds
like
it's
going
to
be
another
month
or
so,
as
we
work
through
the
process.
AI
J
AI
AI
N
K
C
AI
Thank
you
and
through
the
chair,
I,
absolutely
understand
I'm
recently
joining
the
team
and
I
understand
the
concerns
of
I.
Think
I've
cited
150
cannabis
businesses
in
Massachusetts
I
have
no
exaggeration,
so
I
will
definitely
work
with
the
team
on
providing
an
updated
plan
set
and
making
sure
we
address
the
various
issues
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
Okay,.
U
I've
been
here,
this
long
I
just
might
as
well
speak
on
everything.
Hi
everybody,
the
malibito
city,
councilor
at
large,
I,
know
these.
Both
these
gentlemen,
active
members
in
the
community
I,
have
ran
basketball
leagues.
They
have
contributed,
they
have
supported.
They
are
really
involved.
It's
it's
kind
of
like
the
classic
story
that
you
want
to
see
of
two
kids
that
grow
up
in
Chelsea
they
graduate
and
then
they
want
to
invest
in
their
Community.
Both
of
them
have
economic
empowerment
certificates.
U
Big
projects
come
here,
and
so-
and
this
is
the
type
of
thing
that
that
the
economic
empowerment
certificate
and
Social
Equity
program
was
built
for,
because
folks
that
have
been
disenfranchised
from
the
old
drug
laws
and
the
drug
war
didn't
weren't
privy
to
the
information.
They
don't
have
the
capital
to
build
these,
these
big
recreational
places
they
don't
have
the
resources.
So
it's
I
love
to
see
the
growth
here,
because
I
was
able
to
see
the
project
when
they
support
when
they
submitted.
U
And
to
see
where
they're,
coming
and
I
just
hope
that
this
board
continues
to
extend
some
Grace
as
they
hit
some
hiccups
and
and
grow.
But
this
is
definitely
the
type
of
the
feel
good
stories
that
we
want
to
see
in
Chelsea,
so
I'm
in
full
support
of
it
and
I'm,
hoping
that
there's
only
boy
will
see
the
benefit
of
them
being
in
the
community
as
well.
Thanks.
AJ
L
I
too,
just
want
to
piggyback
off
of
what
counselor,
Robinson
and
councilor
verdad
had
said,
and
I
just
want
to
encourage
your
counselor
to
help
you
walk
through
the
process
and
make
sure
all
the
t's
in
the
eyes
are
dotted,
because
this
is
what
the
certificates
and
and
social
Equity
exemplifies
and
I
too
want
to.
Just
you
know,
commend
you
guys
for
coming
forward
and
really
come
back
with
us
with
a
solid
plan,
so
we
can
basically
review
it
and
you
know
hopefully
work
with
you.
L
AH
A
Z
Z
Z
H
Z
Z
A
A
Z
Z
A
Z
A
I
have
any
other
questions
so
clearly,
is
there
anybody
here
who
wish
to
speak
on
this
there
being
none?
So
you
have
to
come
back
here
to
the
planning
board
on
January
I
know
December
20th,
which
is
next
week
and
then
the
zone,
and
you
could
come
back
to
us
on
January
10th,
so
do
as
much
as
you
can
between
now
and
then.
If
you
have
questions
talk
to
John,
if
you
need
more
time,
you
let
us
know
and
we'll
extend
your
we'll
extend
the
time
that
you
need
to
meet.
If
that's
what's
necessary.
Okay,.
U
A

A
2018-38
one
Forbes
Street
d
y:
I
h
e
Forbes
LLC
requesting
approval
for
a
one-year
extension
of
the
lapse
provision
of
the
special
permit
for
a
planned
depart
development
John.
We
have
a
recommendation
on
this
one
from
we
have
a
letter
of.
We
have
a
letter
from
the
city
manager
that
does
not
support
this
extension.
C
AK
AK
So
so
this
is
a.
This
was
an
approval
for
a
this
is
an
eight
about
an
18
Acre
Site.
It
was
approved
for
590
units
about
700
000
square
feet
like
20
000
square
feet
of
of
commercial
office
restaurant
there's
there
was
a
proposed
Public
public,
open
space
and
Waterfront
access,
so
a
significant
project.
It
came
before
both
the
zoning
board
and
the
planning
board
in
the
pre-covered
days.
It
was
it.
We
got
planned
development
approval
from
zoning
site
plan
approval
from
planning
covet
hit.
AK
The
brakes
got
put
on
the
project
because
of
the
the
state
statute.
This
is
set
out
in
the
letter
that
we
submitted,
but
the
state
statute
basically
automatically
extended
all
permits
that
were
active
when
covet
started
for
a
certain
amount
of
time.
Those
extensions
expired
when
the
when
the
emergency
order
was
lifted,
but
I
think.
As
we
all
know,
you
know
kova
didn't
really
end.
AK
Then
life
didn't
immediately
get
back
to
normal,
so
we're
here
now
asking
for
a
one-year
extension
to
so
we
can
get
the
project
off
the
ground
so
I'm
having
to
answer
any
questions.
I
I
will
note
that
I
just
you
know,
I
was
looking
through
the
special
permit
on
the
way
this
afternoon,
and
you
know
the
construction
timeline
that
they
were
talking
about
was
was
seven
years,
not
including
time
between
phases.
So
I
think
what
we're
asking
for
is
just
an
extra
year
on
a
project
that
was
already
contemplated
to,
but.
AK
AK
Everyone's
expectation
is
that
this
is
going
to
calm
down
in
the
next
year
and
sort
of
stabilize
and
in
projects
like
this
will
be
financable.
But
at
the
moment
it's
it's
a
you
know.
A
lot
of
work
went
into
getting
these
entitlements
and
they're
trying
to
hold
on
to
them
to
sort
of
weather
the
economic
realities
that
are
going
on
right
now
and
I
I'll
I'll.
Note
that
the
you
know
the
zoning
act
does
have
a
provision
to
allow
boards
to
say
yeah.
AK
You
know
what
good
cause
exists
for
why
they
haven't
done
this.
You
can
see
in
the
cases
there
there
you'll
see
a
handful
of
Court
decisions
that
come
out
after
every
recession
that
where
boards
deal
with
this
and
and
you
know,
the
the
tightening
of
capital
markets,
I
think
fits
right
in
with
a
lot
of
the
decisions
where
courts
have
said.
Yeah,
you
know
what
the
board
was
right
to
to
Grant
the
extension
or
to
find
good
cause
because
of
these
economic
realities
that
that
happen
with
projects
sometimes.
A
A
A
There
are
good
faith
things
that
could
have
been
done
even
during
before
coven,
when
all
because
before
code,
but
let's
face
it,
everything
was
being
clear
and
it
was
easy
to
do.
You
know
it's
been.
It's
been
a
difficult
couple
of
years,
but
I
mean
there
has
been
the
past
year
or
so
there's
been
some
ability
to
take
some
even
initial
steps.
That
would
indicate
a
good
faith
interest
in
keeping
this
project
going
and
do
you
think
that's
happened.
I
AK
A
Wouldn't
even
be
here
and
we
wouldn't
be
taking
some
good
steps
and
then
even
pause
them
during
covet
and
said
oops.
We
are
in
we're
sort
of
stopped
for
a
while,
because
here's
covet,
and
but
that
would
that
would
have
had
been
irrelevant
because
you
would
have
started
and
that
would
have
sort
of
triggered
the
permit.
So.
AK
J
J
AK
They're
trying
to
they're
trying
to
finance
the
project
right
now,
I
mean
it's
a
significant
project,
the
the
the
you
know
the
the
capital
market
for
a
project
like
this
is
not
you
don't
just
walk
you
a
bank
and
get
you
know,
get
a
bank
loan,
so
so
I
think
the
the
expectation
is
that
in
the
next
year,
you're
going
to
see
these
Capital
markets
start
to
stabilize
and
they'll
be
able
to
get
the
financing
they
need
to
break
ground.
It.
Y
Y
L
2019.
yeah,
okay,
four
years,
but
just
thinking
about
the
community
and
the
environment
and
thinking
how
that
was
a
great
plan
and
the
community
celebrated
that
plan
and
was
really
happy
that
something
was
going
to
happen
like
this
in
that
area
and
then
it
turned
out
to
be
an
empty
promise
and
disappointment,
and
that
is
understandable
because
you
know
covet
hit
folks
hard
financially,
but
to
think
of
the
abandonment
in
disregard
for
the
property
and
thinking
about
the
environmental
standing
in
what
shape
it.
L
It
was
left
in
and
thinking
about
the
community
in
that
area
that
was
exposed
to
really
like
debris
and
trash
and
was
very,
very
dangerous
for
children
and
for
for
residents.
So
it's
very
concerning
that
four
years
have
passed
and
nothing
was
done
and
we
were
left
with
a
great
promise
and
realized
that
we,
it
was
an
abandonment.
Well.
AK
AK
D
D
He's
not
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
proposal
he
was
there
before
when
we
were
when
we
met
the
last
time
when
he
wanted
this
permit
to
be
issued.
He
was
all
gung-ho
for
this
project.
You
know
everybody
came
out
to
speak
on
it
and
nothing's
been
done.
You
know,
and
it's
a
it's
a
letdown,
it's
a
let
down
to
the
city
and
I.
Don't
really
feel
confident
that
the
owner
is
going
to
do
anything
moving
forward.
A
AK
Mean
I'll
tell
you
that
that
a
sale
of
the
property
to
someone
else
is
would
would
be
I
mean,
would
be
possible.
It
would
be
possible
with
these
entitlements
in
place
and
and
you
could
you
know
you-
you
would
see
a
another
chance
at
the
development
I
think
if
there's,
if
there's
no
extension
and
these
permits
lapse
at
the
at
the
end
of
the
month,
then
I
I,
don't
you
know
I,
don't
think
you're
gonna
you're
gonna
get
much
traction
on
a
on
a
project
here.
AK
D
C
AK
D
AK
I
want
to
be
totally
clear,
I'm
saying
the
opposite
of
that
I'm
saying
we
are
not
ready
to
go,
which
is
why
we
need
an
extension,
so
I
I
mean
I.
I
do
want
to
be
clear.
What
I'm
asking
here
I'm,
not
we're,
not
ready
to
go.
We
net
need
another
year,
it's
not
something
that
we
could
just
say
all
right.
Look
we've
got
until
December
22nd
on
the
permit.
You
know
guys
grab
some
shovels
and
go
out
there
and
break
ground.
They
are
not
prepared
to
do
that.
They
absolutely
need
an
extension.
AK
AF
Y
AK
I
mean
look,
I,
don't
know,
I
can't
predict
what
would
happen
if
some
of
another
developer
comes
in
but
but
the
the
permit
is
it
would.
The
permit
still
has
a
timeline
on
it
right.
So
so
I.
My
imagine
that
if
somebody
wants
to
come
in
and
act
on
this
permit
they're
going
to
have
to
do
it
within
the
extended
time
to
do
it.
A
C
It's
something
yeah,
usually
usually
what
happens
after
the
board
approves
their
the
permits
and
I
write
up
the
decision.
The
decision,
and
particularly
these
include
a
number
of
Provisions
that
have
to
be
undertaken
prior
to
me,
signing
off
on
a
building
permit
and
usually
developers
will
come
in
and
start
working
on
them
they're
relatively
minor.
It's
updating
the
plans,
it's
doing
the
design
review,
it's
stuff
like
that.
No
effort
was
made
on
it
in
this
time.
In
fact,
there
was
no
effort
was
even
made
to
maintain
the
site.
C
C
Again,
no
preliminary
work
was
done
to
even
suggest
that
that
was
even
started,
and
yet
this
board
has
approved
other
developer
developments
relatively
large
ones
that
have
gone
and
have
completed
development
within
that
time
frame.
So
I,
my
thought
is:
this
is
up
for
sale
and
in
order
to
maintain
the
value
they're.
Looking
for
a
extension
of
the
permit.
A
AJ
AJ
The
city
had
to
put
up
roughly
I
think
about
three
hundred
thousand,
who
brought
up
some
of
the
buildings,
because
we
were
concerned
about
the
safety
of
the
buildings
and
yet
no
response
from
the
developer
and
now
he's
here
looking
for
something
from
us
and
what
he's
looking
for
is
a
benefit
for
us
to
throw
to
him
so
that
they
can
make
a
lot
of
money.
He's
had
enough
time
to
come
to
the
city
what
they
came
with
a
proposal.
AJ
A
U
We
can't
keep
meeting
like
this
city
council
are
at
large
140
Highland
Street
in
Chelsea
seriously.
You
guys
good
work
today,
because
I'm
exhausted
I,
don't
know
how
you
do
it.
So
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do
I'm
absolutely
against
this
and
I
though
the
permits
were
approved
in
2019
I.
Remember
this
Forbes
conversation
when
it
was
like
40
stories
high
back
in
before
I
was
even
in
office
and
I've
been
in
office
quite
a
long
time.
So
this
has
been
dragged
on
long
enough.
I'm
really!
You
know.
U
I
I
often
complain
about
people
coming
from
outside
of
the
city
and
kind
of
exploiting
us
or
manipulating
us
and
I,
really
I
smell.
Something
funny
here.
I
think
that
there
is
a
request
for
an
extension
of
a
special
permit
to
sell
it
and
I.
Would
you
know
the
fact
that
the
city
is
investing
and
that
this
is
causing
having
an
impact
on
us
and
that
we
have
to
actually
go
and
take
care
of
it
because
of
their
lack
of
responsibility?
I
think
it's
just
it's
just
irresponsible!
U
Quite
frankly-
and
you
know,
I
understand
that
covet
hit
and
whatnot,
but
there's
so
many
other
organizations
that
happen
to
like
build
and
develop
I
mean
it's
not.
You
know
the
world
went
on.
Unfortunately
it
we
went
on
and
the
fact
that
they
haven't
even
done
anything
to
show
any
interest
in
moving
this
forward.
I
think
we
absolutely
should
not
extend
that
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
Thank
you.
AL
Good
evening
Carla
Allen
city
of
Chelsea,
Economic,
Development,
planner,
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development,
so
a
lot
has
changed
in
Chelsea,
particularly
around
our
Waterfront.
Over
the
past
three
to
four
years,
we've
gone
through
an
extensive
planning
process.
We've
changed
our
zoning.
AL
What
was
allowed
by
right
when
this
application
was
granted
is
no
longer
allowed
by
right.
The
density
that
you
could
put
on
this
site
is
now
much
smaller
when
it
was
originally
permitted.
We
counted
as
land
submerged
land,
that's
under
water.
Our
zoning
now
reads
so
that
it's
only
land
above
the
highest
high
tide
that
actually
gets
counted
when
you're
doing
density
calculations.
AL
AL
This
was
a
concession
the
current
permits.
It
was
always
a
bit
more
density
than
the
Mill
Hill
Neighborhood
could
actually
support
in
terms
of
traffic
and
I
would
hope
that
the
next
iteration
scales
it
down
to
something
that's
more
appropriate
and
provides
more
open
space
and
resources
for
the
residents
of
Chelsea
who
deserve
access
to
their
Waterfront.
