That's
the
first
one
on
this
new
application,
and
the
second
was
to
create
a
pergola
in
the
backyard
which
I
don't
know
it
had.
If
that
has
to
go
before
the
commission,
it's
possibly
visible
from
the
north
side
of
the
house
on
pearl
street,
and
I
have
some
pictures
later
on,
which
shows
where
the
burrito
would
be
in
the
backyard,
the
view
of
the
backyard
from
gravel
street
and
pearl
street
to
show
you.
What
would
you
what
you
would
see
in
nazi?
D
D
D
D
D
There
are
some
other.
These
must
have
been
from
my
first
presentation,
but
if
you
go
one
more
down,
that
is
the
view
of
the
house
from
a
pearl
street.
That
is
a
empty
lot,
but
a
potential
building
lot
and
the
pergola
will
be
behind
the
privacy
fence,
which
is
right
now
incomplete
because
we
had
to
take
a
tree
down
as
you
continue
down,
I
have
it
sort
of
outlined
in
the
backyard.

H
So
we
are
opening
a
confession:
space
in
the
new
three
water
street
building
unit
101.
So
right
when
you
walk
up
the
stair,
the
main
stairs
is
the
unit.
That's
right
on
the
left,
so
we'd
like
to
put
two
signs
up
one
on
the
front
of
the
building
on
like
the
bottom
right,
where
the
rest
of
the
signage
of
what
is
there
is
that
sign
is
14
by
48
and
then
a
second
sign.
That's
right
outside
of
the
door
of
the
unit
that'll
be
18
by
18..
H
I
did
so.
This
is
the
first
one,
so
it's
right
next
to
the
door
and
then,
if
you
scroll
down
again,
that
would
be
it
on
the
front
of
the
building.
And
then,
if
you
scroll
down
one
more
time,
you
can
kind
of
just
see
where
both
are
the
one
on
the
bottom
right
hand
corner
and
then
the
one
in
like
the
middle
next
to
where
the
door
is.
G
H
B
B
The
scale
that
that's
totally
fine,
I
think
I
was
I
wasn't-
I
was
getting
confused.
I
was
getting
tripped
up
on
my
own
trying
to
connect,
hospitality
and
confections.
I
wasn't
sure
if
it
was
a
different
sign.
She
was
using
for
an
example
or
if
that
was
actually
what
was
going
to
be
on
the
sign.
You
were
thinking.
It
was
a
hotel.
H
B
B
B
I
C
B
B
A
B
A
A
D
F
A
C
E
B
B
B
J
B
J
B
So
I
guess
I'll
go
through
the
rest
of
this
and
see
if,
while
we're
doing
that,
he
can
straighten
out
his
technical
difficulties,
so
old
business,
we
don't
have
any
new
business.
We
have
htc
21-373
water
street
that
was
chelsea
sign.
She
was
supposed
to
submit
the
materials
that
the
sign
was
made
from.
B
B
E
G
C
K
E
K
K
B
B
You're
on
a
phone
okay,
so
if
electronics
were
working
perfectly,
you
would
be
able
to
share
your
screen
on
your
computer
and
show
us
what
you
were
looking
at
or
even
better
we'd
all
be
together,
and
you
could
show
us
what
you
were
trying
to
show
us.
But
I
don't
think
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
see
tonight
with
our
technological
limitations
what
you're
trying
to
show
us.
So
why
don't
you
verbally
describe
to
us
what
you're
trying
to
do.
K
K
E
A
K
K
B
B
K
B
K
K
B

E
B
B
B
B
E
C
K
B
B
B
I
B
To
cover
to
to
do
a
belt
and
suspenders,
I'm
gonna
call
on
you
and
ferguson,
just
for
just
in
case.
I
mix
that
procedure,
brady
hi,
ferguson,
hi,
moriarty,
aye,
all
right.
We
have
a
new
board
and
I
think
it's
a
record
july
20th
yeah,
it's
early
for
us,
that's
early,
it's
very
early
for
us.
We
usually
wait
till
december
yeah.
I
think
we're
the
bane
of
linda's
existence
all
right,
any
other
new
business.
E
B
I
I
I
think,
unfortunately,
from
my
opinion
and
having
done
a
lot
of
research
when
we
proposed
the
building,
it
seems
like
they
took
a
lot
of
steps
forward
to
help
change
and
spur
growth
and
now
they're,
taking
many
steps
backwards
and
at
least
from
the
research
that
I
had
done.
And
you
know
what
we
went
through.
It
would
seem
extremely
difficult
for
any
change
to
occur
on
most
any
parcel
in
the
downtown
district.
E
C
Today
you
could
not
comply
with
the
new
zoning
race
and
I
won't
get
any
details
except
to
say,
for
example,
that
if
they
had
factory
square,
if,
if
margaritas
were
to
now
vacate
their
space,
I
would
no
longer
be
able
to
put
apartments
in
there,
because
I
couldn't
meet
the
requirements
and,
if
margaritas,
which
is
8,
500
square
feet.
On
I
mean
this
is
not
as
this
is
not
an
hdc
issue,
it's
just
a
practical
issue,
but
it
margaritis
is
8
500
square
feet
on
three
floors.
C
Unless
you
found
another
restaurant
that
wanted
to
operate
in
that
kind
of
a
difficult
environment,
I
would
not
be
able
to
put
parking
spaces
in
because
they
no
longer
allow
you
to
use
off-site
parking,
even
if
fully
leased
towards
your
parking
requirements.
And
you
know,
factory
square
is
required,
as
relied
upon
its
own
parking
plus
111
spaces
in
the
mr
museum
of
art
for
30
or
40
years,
and
you
no
longer
can
use
those
spaces
for
residential
uses,
depending
on
the
density
of
your.
C
C
Whatever
it
was,
but
it
was
to
make
it
was
to
make
rotten
more
open
and
welcoming
to
development
in
part
to
create
more
housing
opportunities,
because
over
80
percent
of
the
people
who
work
in
groton
do
not
live
in
crops,
and
there
currently
is
a
huge
shortfall
of,
for
example,
apartments
and
and
very
few.
If
any
of
the
proposed
projects
in
groton
have
actually
gone
through
the
approval
process,
they
keep,
I
think,
get
hung
up
trying
to
comply
with
certain
requirements.
G
I
G
I
Think
you're
right,
but
what
you're
saying
is
correct.
I
just
don't
think
it's
as
deep,
as
you
know,
essentially
pushing
us
aside,
but
I
do
think
that
you
know
they've
gone
to
advocate
for
specific
roof.
Styles,
they've
they've
changed
the
height
requirements,
so
you're
stuck
at
essentially
two
stories
now,
if
you're,
if
you
can
even
get
that
out
of
it,
it's
kind
of
like
they
just
again
just
stepped
way
backwards,
and
the
thing
is:
is
there's
not
a
lot
of
parcels
that
are
in
that
downtown
district?
I
But
even
more
so,
the
few
that
would
have
allowed
for
anything
now
are
essentially
going
to
be
stuck,
and
my
whole
point
always
from
day.
One
back
to
our
building
was
that
you
need
to
allow
for
mass
in
the
district
for
two
reasons,
because
mass
allows
quality
materials.
If
the
developer
does
it
right,
but
it
also
prevents
sprawl,
which
is
what
occurred
in
nantucket
and
some
other
towns
where
you
had
a
dense
town
center
and
as
it
became
more
touristy
and
built
up
and
everything
that
I
think
we
want,
or
the
town
wants.
I
You're
then
going
to
see
people
who
can't
develop
in
that
tight
district
start
to
push
out
into
residential
neighborhoods
and
you're
going
to
have
spicer
mansion
two
three
four
and
five,
which
is
tough,
because
we,
I
think
we
all
live,
pretty
close
to
downtown,
where
I
wouldn't
want
to
see
that
up
on
my
street.
But
I
do
like
it
downtown.
I
I
C
When
you,
when
you,
when
you
put
when
you
increase
the
mandates
for
open
space
and
everything
else,
which
I'm
not
saying,
I'm
opposed
to
it,
but
this
is
a
quasi-urban
environment.
You
know
I
mean
there
isn't
you're
supposed
to
now
provide
most
well
you're
supposed
to
provide
your
parking
on
site
and
and
you're
supposed
to
provide
more
open
space,
and
so.
C
It
becomes
very
difficult
to
achieve
those
objectives
except
by
shrinking
down,
say
the
footprint
or
size
of
your
building,
and
then
you
run
into
issues
which
are
not
planning
and
zoning
issues
per
se.
Nor
are
the
hdc
issues,
but
it
becomes
an
issue
of
economic
vitality
or
your
ability
to
to
build
something
that
has
enough
can
accommodate
enough
uses
or
people
or
apartments
or
whatever,
to
pay
for
itself.
I
Gotten
the
mass
on
the
project-
it's
just
it,
wouldn't
it
wouldn't
have
made
sense
that
extra
fourth
floor
you
know
gave
us
the
ability
to
spend
the
money
where
we
wanted
to
show
it
off.
I
mean
I
could
have
saved
80
grand
and
not
done
copper
gutters,
but
you
know
we
wanted
to
do
it
because
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do.
But
if
you
strip
the
floor
off,
I
I'm
not
sure
what
we
would
have
done.
I
I'm
not
sure
the
model
would
have
worked
so
and
I
think
you're
going
to
see
that
even
on
smaller
projects,
people
are
going
to
focus
more
on
cheaper
materials,
especially
today,
as
things
have
really
gone
through
the
roof.
No
pun
intended
to
try
to
get
something
done
and
save
a
buck,
and
I
think
we're
going
to
see
that
coming
to
us
more,
which
is
not
the
things
that
we're
trying
to
you,
know,
enforce
and
propose
or
cause
people
to
choose.
B
I
think
it's
so
I
knew
of
the
changes
I
haven't
reviewed,
all
of
them.
The
choice
of
style
on
a
roof
is
a
new
one.
To
me.
I
didn't
see
that
one.
I
certainly
think
if
they're
overreaching
there
that
perhaps
a
letter
to
the
commission
requesting
an
explanation
of,
why
is
really
all
that
we
can
do
as
commission
members,
you
know
I
certainly
planned
on
is
isn't
as
a
citizen,
I've
grown
to.
I
E
C
I
I
C
So
I
like
to
bring
one
other
thing
up.
This
is
separate.
Can
we
start
meeting
in
person
in
person
I?
I
know
I've
heard
I've.
I've
talked
to
some
of
the
members
of
the
planet
in
development,
and
this
you
know
there's
this
sort
of
yin-yang
thing
between
some
people
who
say
there
was
something
in
the
day
about
it
recently
about.
B
I
asked
peter
about
that
and
peter
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
thought
that
the
hang
up
was.
We
can
certainly
begin
meeting
in
person
soon.
The
only
issue
is
those
we.
I
guess
the
town
believes
that
we
still
need
to
provide
an
opportunity
to
those
who
are
concerned
about
meeting
in
person
a
platform
for
them
to
participate
in
zoom,
and
I
think
that
the
only
room
that
we
can
do
that
in
is
the
room
that
the
town
council
meets,
and
I
think
that
they
were
working.
Those
details
out.
