extensions scheduled for today

306
00:14:57,371 --> 00:14:58,372

307
00:14:58,372 --> 00:14:59,807
Thank you.

308
00:14:59,807 --> 00:15:00,240
Are there any questions from

309
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,240
the board?

310
00:15:02,342 --> 00:15:04,342
Yeah.

311
00:15:04,911 --> 00:15:07,115
I have a question for, uh,

312
00:15:07,115 --> 00:15:09,183
Caroline in also I wanted to

313
00:15:09,183 --> 00:15:12,620
ask board members if they have

314
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:14,855
an opinion about this case for,

315
00:15:14,855 --> 00:15:15,189
uh, the island is 151 Liverpool

316
00:15:15,189 --> 00:15:17,189
Street.

317
00:15:18,392 --> 00:15:19,326
This is the eighth request for

318
00:15:19,326 --> 00:15:21,326
an extension.

319
00:15:21,996 --> 00:15:25,330
So I understand that this case

320
00:15:25,330 --> 00:15:25,966
had been extended over a period

321
00:15:25,966 --> 00:15:27,966
of 6 or 7 years.

322
00:15:29,403 --> 00:15:32,440
And for the record, they wanted

323
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,442
to ask, uh, Caroline how many

324
00:15:34,442 --> 00:15:36,377
times a proponent or when a

325
00:15:36,377 --> 00:15:38,813
project can be, uh, extended

326
00:15:38,813 --> 00:15:40,248
and then ask my colleague board

327
00:15:40,248 --> 00:15:40,748
members if they have an opinion

328
00:15:40,748 --> 00:15:42,748
out loud.

329
00:15:43,551 --> 00:15:44,752
Um, how many down?

330
00:15:44,752 --> 00:15:45,520
We can't just keep extending

331
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,520
cases.

332
00:15:47,856 --> 00:15:49,924
What about the other question

333
00:15:49,924 --> 00:15:52,924
for Caroline is what's what's

334
00:15:53,161 --> 00:15:54,495
the alternative if it's just

335
00:15:54,495 --> 00:15:55,330
for a separation?

336
00:15:55,330 --> 00:15:57,532
I know this case.

337
00:15:57,532 --> 00:15:59,801
They have their motives with

338
00:15:59,801 --> 00:16:01,837
extension of that thing that is

339
00:16:01,837 --> 00:16:03,104
seems compelling but just for

340
00:16:03,104 --> 00:16:04,806
general understanding of the

341
00:16:04,806 --> 00:16:05,640
process I wanted to ask again a

342
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:06,308
clarification about this.

343
00:16:06,308 --> 00:16:08,242
Thank you.

344
00:16:08,242 --> 00:16:09,410
Of course.

345
00:16:09,410 --> 00:16:11,413
So it's at the board's

346
00:16:11,413 --> 00:16:12,447
discretion to grant as many

347
00:16:12,447 --> 00:16:14,850
extensions as you would like.

348
00:16:14,850 --> 00:16:16,452
Um, in terms of the Permanent

349
00:16:16,452 --> 00:16:18,852
Extension Act, um, under

350
00:16:19,488 --> 00:16:22,488
Governor Healy, um, any permit

351
00:16:23,358 --> 00:16:24,926
active from 23 to 25 um has an

352
00:16:24,926 --> 00:16:25,360
additional two years

353
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,360
automatically.

354
00:16:27,930 --> 00:16:29,297
Um, so this would technically

355
00:16:29,297 --> 00:16:31,697
be like a formality.

356
00:16:33,269 --> 00:16:35,700
Um, but after 2027, um the

357
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:37,390
board if for some reason the

358
00:16:37,390 --> 00:16:38,273
work they still need an

359
00:16:38,273 --> 00:16:40,609
extension the board can grant

360
00:16:40,609 --> 00:16:42,444
it or deny it and then and in

361
00:16:42,444 --> 00:16:42,945
that case the board to deny the

362
00:16:42,945 --> 00:16:44,945
extension.

363
00:16:45,547 --> 00:16:46,782
Um, the permit would then be

364
00:16:46,782 --> 00:16:47,282
abandoned and they would have

365
00:16:47,282 --> 00:16:49,282
to reapply.

366
00:16:51,921 --> 00:16:52,788
They could away of course.

367
00:16:52,788 --> 00:16:53,956
Okay.

368
00:16:53,956 --> 00:16:54,790
Any other questions?

369
00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:55,958
Yep.

370
00:16:55,958 --> 00:16:58,358
It's got a question.

371
00:16:58,428 --> 00:17:00,428
Okay.

372
00:17:00,829 --> 00:17:03,266
If there are no other questions

373
00:17:03,266 --> 00:17:04,400
or discussion, MAY I have a

374
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,134
motion to grant the extensions

375
00:17:05,134 --> 00:17:07,134
as requested?

376
00:17:08,771 --> 00:17:10,172
Motion to put the extensions

377
00:17:10,172 --> 00:17:11,507

378
00:17:11,507 --> 00:17:13,907
Is there a second?

379
00:17:14,510 --> 00:17:16,579
Back in MISTER Savage?

380
00:17:16,579 --> 00:17:18,514

382
00:17:18,982 --> 00:17:20,683

Members of the board attorney

Uh.

480
00:21:01,675 --> 00:21:03,243
Who's here?

481
00:21:03,243 --> 00:21:05,643
We design the plans.

482
00:21:05,645 --> 00:21:06,112
Uh, we it's pretty

483
00:21:06,112 --> 00:21:08,112
straightforward.

484
00:21:08,181 --> 00:21:09,549
Uh, the case we're seeking

485
00:21:09,549 --> 00:21:11,549
building code relief.

486
00:21:11,584 --> 00:21:13,620
Uh, because this project when

487
00:21:13,620 --> 00:21:16,230
it was originally approved uh

488
00:21:16,230 --> 00:21:19,230
was approved for, uh, two

489
00:21:19,910 --> 00:21:20,928
private exclusive rooftop decks

490
00:21:20,928 --> 00:21:22,950
to be accessed by hatch and

491
00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:24,950
that was something.

492
00:21:24,264 --> 00:21:24,764
Uh zoning board as well as the

493
00:21:24,764 --> 00:21:26,764
community.

494
00:21:26,766 --> 00:21:28,568
I had supported to keep the

495
00:21:28,568 --> 00:21:29,769
height uh, at a reasonable

496
00:21:29,769 --> 00:21:32,205
level and they frowned upon

497
00:21:32,205 --> 00:21:33,540
having uh, additional bulky

498
00:21:33,540 --> 00:21:35,540
penthouses on top.

499
00:21:36,900 --> 00:21:36,977
Uh, this project was originally

500
00:21:36,977 --> 00:21:38,110
approved by a different

501
00:21:38,110 --> 00:21:38,311
developer and architectural

502
00:21:38,311 --> 00:21:40,280
team.

503
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,680
Project was then sold.

504
00:21:43,830 --> 00:21:45,919
Uh upon uh after the project

505
00:21:45,919 --> 00:21:48,556
had already been granted uh, a

506
00:21:48,556 --> 00:21:48,989
at risk permit uh, to start

507
00:21:48,989 --> 00:21:50,989
construction.

508
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:53,527
Uh, it was uh re reviewed a new

509
00:21:53,527 --> 00:21:55,495
plans examiner the old plans

510
00:21:55,495 --> 00:21:57,970
examiner had left found

511
00:21:57,970 --> 00:21:58,332
additional the zoning

512
00:21:58,332 --> 00:22:00,100
violations that we actually had

513
00:22:00,100 --> 00:22:00,834
to come back to this board to

514
00:22:00,834 --> 00:22:02,834
grant relief.

515
00:22:04,710 --> 00:22:05,939
However, um, this building code

516
00:22:05,939 --> 00:22:06,173
variance uh, request was missed

517
00:22:06,173 --> 00:22:08,173
.

518
00:22:08,575 --> 00:22:10,244
It was only brought up after a

519
00:22:10,244 --> 00:22:10,477
full permit was actually issued

520
00:22:10,477 --> 00:22:12,477
.

521
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,148
So the permit was issued

522
00:22:14,148 --> 00:22:16,550
contingent now upon coming back

523
00:22:16,550 --> 00:22:17,510
to the board uh, to grant that

524
00:22:17,510 --> 00:22:19,510
relief.

525
00:22:19,420 --> 00:22:21,222
Um and so to prevent a hardship

526
00:22:21,222 --> 00:22:21,756
this building is is already

527
00:22:21,756 --> 00:22:23,458
constructed.

528
00:22:23,458 --> 00:22:24,358
These are going to be sold as

529
00:22:24,358 --> 00:22:26,358
as condos.

530
00:22:26,394 --> 00:22:28,229
This is something that, uh, the

531
00:22:28,229 --> 00:22:30,632
community had asked for uh, as

532
00:22:30,632 --> 00:22:31,366
well uh, to keep to not have

533
00:22:31,366 --> 00:22:33,366
the penthouse.

534
00:22:34,202 --> 00:22:36,602
The proposed alternative which

535
00:22:36,638 --> 00:22:38,706
are shown in the the plans is a

536
00:22:38,706 --> 00:22:40,742
low profile roof hatch access

537
00:22:40,742 --> 00:22:43,142
rather than full penthouse.

538
00:22:43,144 --> 00:22:45,113
Uh, the roof hatches bulkheads

539
00:22:45,113 --> 00:22:47,382
would be limited to

540
00:22:47,382 --> 00:22:48,984
approximately 30in above the

541
00:22:48,984 --> 00:22:50,218
roof deck, which is consistent

542
00:22:50,218 --> 00:22:52,218
with zoning limitations.

543
00:22:52,787 --> 00:22:55,230
Uh, proposed three foot by

544
00:22:55,230 --> 00:22:56,858
seven foot roof hatches would

545
00:22:56,858 --> 00:22:59,940
have assisted opening hold

546
00:22:59,940 --> 00:23:00,862
hardware and all required a

547
00:23:00,862 --> 00:23:02,898
guard rails as well.

548
00:23:02,898 --> 00:23:04,832
Um, this project was approved.

549
00:23:04,832 --> 00:23:06,168
It was a foreign unit building

550
00:23:06,168 --> 00:23:07,569
and the top units.

551
00:23:07,569 --> 00:23:08,970
Uh, these are exclusive roof

552
00:23:08,970 --> 00:23:10,773
decks as I mentioned only for

553
00:23:10,773 --> 00:23:13,173
those top floor units.

554
00:23:13,175 --> 00:23:15,444
Uh, normally this could have

555
00:23:15,444 --> 00:23:15,744
been resolved uh, at the board

556
00:23:15,744 --> 00:23:16,345
prior.

557
00:23:16,345 --> 00:23:18,345
I understand.

558
00:23:18,747 --> 00:23:21,150
Um, but this was only brought

559
00:23:21,150 --> 00:23:22,985
to our attention and um, it was

560
00:23:22,985 --> 00:23:23,752
issued and we're hoping relief

561
00:23:23,752 --> 00:23:25,354
could be granted.

562
00:23:25,354 --> 00:23:26,488
I can pause the architects on

563
00:23:26,488 --> 00:23:27,122
the call as well.

564
00:23:27,122 --> 00:23:27,689
Uh.

565
00:23:27,689 --> 00:23:28,391
Thank you.

566
00:23:28,391 --> 00:23:30,391
Thank you.

567
00:23:30,425 --> 00:23:30,725
Are there questions from the

568
00:23:30,725 --> 00:23:32,725
board?

569
00:23:33,328 --> 00:23:34,963
Uh, one question, MADAM Chair.

570
00:23:34,963 --> 00:23:35,464
Can you hear me now?

571
00:23:35,464 --> 00:23:36,980
Yes, sir.

572
00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:38,980
Thank.

573
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:42,204
Sorry.

574
00:23:42,204 --> 00:23:44,604
What was your question?

575
00:23:45,875 --> 00:23:47,443
I'm sorry I hot but my question

576
00:23:47,443 --> 00:23:48,177
is just to make sure we're back

577
00:23:48,177 --> 00:23:48,677
on track here.

578
00:23:48,677 --> 00:23:49,545
Oh, okay.

579
00:23:49,545 --> 00:23:51,480
Sorry.

580
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:51,780
I thought it was a question for

581
00:23:51,780 --> 00:23:52,147
turn.

582
00:23:52,147 --> 00:23:52,615
Okay.

583
00:23:52,615 --> 00:23:53,449

Any questions?

586
00:23:55,618 --> 00:23:55,918
Any other questions from the

587
00:23:55,918 --> 00:23:57,918
board?

588
00:23:58,120 --> 00:23:59,522
Um, MADAM Chair, I had a chance

589
00:23:59,522 --> 00:24:00,489
to review the plans and the

590
00:24:00,489 --> 00:24:01,560
request seems pretty

591
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:02,358
straightforward.

592
00:24:02,358 --> 00:24:04,358
Thank you.

593
00:24:05,461 --> 00:24:07,230
Okay.

594
00:24:07,230 --> 00:24:08,664
If there are no other questions

595
00:24:08,664 --> 00:24:10,900
or comments, is there a motion?

596
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:12,569
MADAM Chair, I like to go

00:24:12,569 --> 00:24:14,603

00:25:39,790 --> 00:25:40,570

683
00:27:10,249 --> 00:27:11,883

the refusal letter.

687
00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:21,930
Uh, this is a restricted area

688
00:27:21,930 --> 00:27:22,761
for roof deck and I am seeking

689
00:27:22,761 --> 00:27:23,929
relief where proposed roof deck

690
00:27:23,929 --> 00:27:26,329
a flat pitched roof.

691
00:27:26,932 --> 00:27:28,568
We submitted the the plans as

692
00:27:28,568 --> 00:27:31,170
pursuant to what we're seeing

693
00:27:31,170 --> 00:27:33,500
here with the survey and we uh

694
00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:35,410
according to the analysis

695
00:27:35,410 --> 00:27:37,644
conducted by the architect our,

696
00:27:37,644 --> 00:27:38,678
um, David Choi, we meet all the

697
00:27:38,678 --> 00:27:41,780
dimensional patrols by way

698
00:27:41,714 --> 00:27:43,950
of height setbacks in the front

699
00:27:43,950 --> 00:27:46,350
and the total building.

700
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,955
And so we're seeking relief

701
00:27:48,955 --> 00:27:50,824
of the restricted area house is

702
00:27:50,824 --> 00:27:53,224
located in Charlestown, mass.

703
00:27:55,662 --> 00:27:56,862
When we talk about this, the

704
00:27:56,862 --> 00:27:59,320
size and the visibility from

705
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,299
the street, how far is it

706
00:28:00,299 --> 00:28:01,702
setback that particular if we

707
00:28:01,702 --> 00:28:03,703
can go back one slide please.

708
00:28:03,703 --> 00:28:05,720
That particular picture is a

709
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,720
good dimension.

710
00:28:07,740 --> 00:28:08,410
On the bottom is the abutters

711
00:28:08,410 --> 00:28:10,410
side.

712
00:28:11,244 --> 00:28:12,812
On the right side is the main

713
00:28:12,812 --> 00:28:14,480
street and it has a setback.

714
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,682
I can't read that right now but

715
00:28:15,682 --> 00:28:17,317
it looks like it's about ten

716
00:28:17,317 --> 00:28:19,486
plus feet from the front which

717
00:28:19,486 --> 00:28:21,880
is large street and in the rear

718
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,688
it also has a set setback.

719
00:28:25,326 --> 00:28:27,794
A total square footage is

720
00:28:27,794 --> 00:28:29,529
250ft2 which remains within the

721
00:28:29,529 --> 00:28:31,529
for about 192.

722
00:28:31,632 --> 00:28:33,167
Thank you.

723
00:28:33,167 --> 00:28:36,167
Other questions from the board.

724
00:28:37,838 --> 00:28:38,238
Hearing none MAY have a public

725
00:28:38,238 --> 00:28:40,107
discussion.

726
00:28:40,107 --> 00:28:43,107
I do have our question.

727
00:28:43,911 --> 00:28:45,513
Um and it might be for bpd um

728
00:28:45,513 --> 00:28:48,214
our roof hatches allowed or

729
00:28:48,214 --> 00:28:48,682
they need a relief as well for

730
00:28:48,682 --> 00:28:50,682
building code.

731
00:28:54,522 --> 00:28:55,890
This is just the last case and

732
00:28:55,890 --> 00:28:57,890
there was missed.

733
00:29:00,962 --> 00:29:01,262
That's what we're concerned

734
00:29:01,262 --> 00:29:02,697
with.

735
00:29:02,697 --> 00:29:03,898
Yes.

736
00:29:03,898 --> 00:29:04,232
Hamptons on are you on MR.

737
00:29:04,232 --> 00:29:06,232
Hampton?

738
00:29:08,168 --> 00:29:10,568
I I've seen you.

739
00:29:12,406 --> 00:29:15,276
It's my understanding if I MAY

740
00:29:15,276 --> 00:29:17,780
input from my architect because

741
00:29:17,780 --> 00:29:19,800
if we look at the same slide if

742
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:20,481
we go upward this two air

743
00:29:20,481 --> 00:29:22,317
conditioning system the

744
00:29:22,317 --> 00:29:25,317
condensers and if you stay

745
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:26,487
within the height we have the

746
00:29:26,487 --> 00:29:28,890
roof hatch that's already

747
00:29:28,890 --> 00:29:30,489
installed as a means

748
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:31,926
of accessing the hvac systems

749
00:29:31,926 --> 00:29:35,363
that are up in the roof.

750
00:29:35,363 --> 00:29:36,397
If you stay within it certain

751
00:29:36,397 --> 00:29:38,599
height requirements which we

752
00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:40,168
are but right I'm ready for the

753
00:29:40,168 --> 00:29:40,501
new program is proposed

754
00:29:40,501 --> 00:29:42,437
correct.

755
00:29:42,437 --> 00:29:44,306
It's you know it's it's

756
00:29:44,306 --> 00:29:45,474
existing it's existing okay yes

757
00:29:45,474 --> 00:29:48,110

758
00:29:48,110 --> 00:29:50,779

807
00:31:20,370 --> 00:31:22,370
Good morning.

808
00:31:22,772 --> 00:31:23,906
Um my name is Chloe Nicholas.

809
00:31:23,906 --> 00:31:25,708
I'm the applicant.

810
00:31:25,708 --> 00:31:26,909
Um, and first off I just wanted

811
00:31:26,909 --> 00:31:28,111
to thank the Zoning Board

812
00:31:28,111 --> 00:31:28,811
of Appeals members for being

813
00:31:28,811 --> 00:31:30,811
here today.

814
00:31:31,140 --> 00:31:33,160
Um, I believe this will be

815
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,190
brief as I received an email on

816
00:31:36,190 --> 00:31:37,621
Friday that my isd permit

817
00:31:37,621 --> 00:31:39,489
denial which I spent the past

818
00:31:39,489 --> 00:31:39,989
five months appealing was given

819
00:31:39,989 --> 00:31:41,989
an error.

820
00:31:42,592 --> 00:31:43,326
Um, so my permit never should

821
00:31:43,326 --> 00:31:44,827
have been denied.

822
00:31:44,827 --> 00:31:47,264
Um, I was asked to withdraw

823
00:31:47,264 --> 00:31:49,432
from the hearing but I reached

824
00:31:49,432 --> 00:31:51,468
out to isd to ask to make sure

825
00:31:51,468 --> 00:31:53,690
that my process could be dealt

826
00:31:53,690 --> 00:31:54,471
with in a time sensitive manner

827
00:31:54,471 --> 00:31:55,505
and I haven't received any

828
00:31:55,505 --> 00:31:56,600
communication from their

829
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,708
offices.

830
00:31:57,708 --> 00:31:59,509
So I let the zoning office know

831
00:31:59,509 --> 00:32:01,178
that I didn't want to withdraw

832
00:32:01,178 --> 00:32:01,411
until I heard anything from isd

833
00:32:01,411 --> 00:32:03,411
.

834
00:32:04,214 --> 00:32:04,915
Um and so just wanted that on

835
00:32:04,915 --> 00:32:06,150
the record.

836
00:32:06,150 --> 00:32:07,484
But I don't think I'm going to

837
00:32:07,484 --> 00:32:09,860
need a ruling today.

838
00:32:09,860 --> 00:32:10,687
Um, because I'll be going back

839
00:32:10,687 --> 00:32:12,123
to isd but I just wanted to say

840
00:32:12,123 --> 00:32:13,390
thank you again for your time.

841
00:32:13,390 --> 00:32:15,390
Okay.

842
00:32:15,793 --> 00:32:17,594
Caroline, can you confirm for

843
00:32:17,594 --> 00:32:19,897
the applicant is correct.

844
00:32:19,897 --> 00:32:20,398
We did not need to ensure we

845
00:32:20,398 --> 00:32:22,398
use a letter.

846
00:32:23,634 --> 00:32:24,402
Okay, well then do we need any

847
00:32:24,402 --> 00:32:25,690
motions here today?

848
00:32:25,690 --> 00:32:25,937
Nope.

849
00:32:25,937 --> 00:32:27,604
Okay.

850
00:32:27,604 --> 00:32:29,640
Well, thank you for your time

851
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:29,907
and, uh, I'm glad it worked

852
00:32:29,907 --> 00:32:30,641
out.

853
00:32:30,641 --> 00:32:33,410
Thank you as well.

854
00:32:36,915 --> 00:32:37,181
With that we'll move on to case

855
00:32:37,181 --> 00:32:39,181
voa.

856
00:32:42,186 --> 00:32:44,455

857
00:32:44,455 --> 00:32:46,855

00:32:50,661 --> 00:32:52,960
have been proposed if the

860
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:53,497
applicant and though they

861
00:32:53,497 --> 00:32:54,198
represent a present well, they

862
00:32:54,198 --> 00:32:55,500
put the plan.

863
00:32:55,500 --> 00:32:56,200
Yes.

864
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:57,402

865
00:32:57,402 --> 00:32:58,503

My name is George Morante.

West Broadway.

878
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:17,689
Also joining today is the

879
00:33:17,689 --> 00:33:20,890
project architect Shane Losey.

880
00:33:21,126 --> 00:33:23,762
This project is the adaptive

881
00:33:23,762 --> 00:33:25,397
reuse uh and construction of a

882
00:33:25,397 --> 00:33:27,198
two story addition to the

former South Boston Savings

00:33:31,403 --> 00:33:33,472
Broadway in South Boston.

886
00:33:33,472 --> 00:33:35,106
This is a 1948 Classical

887
00:33:35,106 --> 00:33:36,908
Revival structure that is

888
00:33:36,908 --> 00:33:37,442
listed in the state's Makris

inventory.

890
00:33:39,780 --> 00:33:40,678
The renovated and expanded

891
00:33:40,678 --> 00:33:42,515
building will become the new

892
00:33:42,515 --> 00:33:43,515

895
00:33:46,818 --> 00:33:48,530

a long term lease with the

00:33:52,625 --> 00:33:54,625
Commonwealth.

901
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,695
This will replace the aging and

902
00:33:56,695 --> 00:33:57,929
outdated South Boston Court

903
00:33:57,929 --> 00:33:59,732
facility currently located at

904
00:33:59,732 --> 00:34:02,132
55 East Broadway a short

905
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,404
distance from this location on

906
00:34:05,404 --> 00:34:07,390
APRIL 26th of this year the bda

907
00:34:07,390 --> 00:34:09,439
board approved this project

908
00:34:10,109 --> 00:34:11,711
under article 84 Project Review

909
00:34:11,711 --> 00:34:13,312
uh the board memorandum that

910
00:34:13,312 --> 00:34:14,680
board members have uh in front

911
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:15,715
of them sets out the

912
00:34:15,715 --> 00:34:17,249
development team design and

913
00:34:17,249 --> 00:34:19,510
community benefits in fall two.

914
00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:20,190
I won't repeat those here but I

915
00:34:20,190 --> 00:34:20,386
do incorporate them by

916
00:34:20,386 --> 00:34:22,386
reference.

917
00:34:22,522 --> 00:34:23,923
Uh, as I said, the project

918
00:34:23,923 --> 00:34:24,990
architect Shane Loci is here

919
00:34:24,990 --> 00:34:26,192
and he'll make a brief

920
00:34:26,192 --> 00:34:27,494
presentation on the design

921
00:34:27,494 --> 00:34:29,329
directly to the board and I'll

922
00:34:29,329 --> 00:34:31,531
therefore limit my testimony to

923
00:34:31,531 --> 00:34:31,898
the zoning relief the project

924
00:34:31,898 --> 00:34:33,898
requires.

925
00:34:34,700 --> 00:34:36,136
The project citizen and mfr ils

926
00:34:36,136 --> 00:34:37,570
multifamily residential local

927
00:34:37,570 --> 00:34:38,804
service sub district within the

928
00:34:38,804 --> 00:34:41,204
South Boston neighborhood under

929
00:34:41,207 --> 00:34:42,642
article 68 it is on West

930
00:34:42,642 --> 00:34:44,244
Broadway near Perkins Square.

931
00:34:44,244 --> 00:34:45,911
This is the neighborhood's

932
00:34:45,911 --> 00:34:47,347
principal commercial corridor

933
00:34:47,347 --> 00:34:48,515
where ground floor commercial

934
00:34:48,515 --> 00:34:50,915
uses an upper floor.

935
00:34:51,183 --> 00:34:53,219
Residential uses predominate uh

936
00:34:53,219 --> 00:34:54,855
courthouse and the accessory

937
00:34:54,855 --> 00:34:58,570
office space that comes with it

938
00:34:58,570 --> 00:34:59,225
is a forbidden use uh, in the

939
00:34:59,225 --> 00:35:01,294
uh in this neighborhood.

940
00:35:01,294 --> 00:35:04,894
Uh, so the project does require

941
00:35:04,931 --> 00:35:06,366
a use variance preserving and

942
00:35:06,366 --> 00:35:07,568
reusing the historic bank

943
00:35:07,568 --> 00:35:09,803
building together with the two

944
00:35:09,803 --> 00:35:11,400
storey additions needed to

945
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,873
accommodate the court and the

946
00:35:12,873 --> 00:35:15,109
office program also requires

947
00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:17,777
relief from the sub districts

948
00:35:17,777 --> 00:35:20,130
uh height limitation, uh floor

949
00:35:20,130 --> 00:35:21,615
area ratio limitation and yard

950
00:35:21,615 --> 00:35:22,849
depth requirements.

951
00:35:22,849 --> 00:35:24,849
Specifically, variants are

952
00:35:25,252 --> 00:35:27,870
needed for violations

953
00:35:27,870 --> 00:35:29,870
attributable to insufficient

954
00:35:29,323 --> 00:35:31,358
side yard setback exceeding

955
00:35:31,358 --> 00:35:32,593
maximum building height and

956
00:35:32,593 --> 00:35:34,993
excessive floor area ratio.

957
00:35:35,562 --> 00:35:37,198
The side yard setbacks are zero

958
00:35:37,198 --> 00:35:39,433
which is an existing condition

959
00:35:39,433 --> 00:35:40,201
whereas a three foot side

960
00:35:40,201 --> 00:35:42,201
setback is required.

961
00:35:44,438 --> 00:35:46,273
The mfr lz subdistrict maximum

962
00:35:46,273 --> 00:35:49,273
building height is 35ft, which

963
00:35:49,309 --> 00:35:50,378
I MAY say is almost entirely

964
00:35:50,378 --> 00:35:51,779
inconsistent with the existing

965
00:35:51,779 --> 00:35:53,580
conditions on West Broadway.

966
00:35:53,580 --> 00:35:55,816
The proposed building height is

967
00:35:55,816 --> 00:35:57,180
approximately 49ft which is

968
00:35:57,180 --> 00:35:57,852
highly consistent with

969
00:35:57,852 --> 00:35:59,852
surrounding conditions.

970
00:36:00,421 --> 00:36:01,789
Likewise, the proposed tfr

971
00:36:01,789 --> 00:36:03,190
of 2.85 is far more

972
00:36:03,190 --> 00:36:05,190
representative of the

973
00:36:05,425 --> 00:36:06,828
surrounding density than the

974
00:36:06,828 --> 00:36:07,128
1.5 if they are allowed by

975
00:36:07,128 --> 00:36:09,128
code.

976
00:36:09,530 --> 00:36:10,965
Finally, the refusal letter

977
00:36:10,965 --> 00:36:13,340
cites a violation under article

978
00:36:13,340 --> 00:36:16,340
nine section two for increasing

979
00:36:16,238 --> 00:36:17,639
by more than 25% the size of a

980
00:36:17,639 --> 00:36:19,730
building containing a

981
00:36:19,730 --> 00:36:21,309
non-conforming use here the

982
00:36:21,309 --> 00:36:21,909
proposed courthouse use is the

983
00:36:21,909 --> 00:36:23,909
non-conforming use.

984
00:36:24,512 --> 00:36:25,713
The site sits directly on West

985
00:36:25,713 --> 00:36:27,348
Broadway, where civic and

986
00:36:27,348 --> 00:36:28,816
institutional uses are already

987
00:36:28,816 --> 00:36:30,251
compatible with the surrounding

988
00:36:30,251 --> 00:36:31,853
commercial and residential mix

989
00:36:31,853 --> 00:36:34,253
and the project preserves

990
00:36:34,288 --> 00:36:35,890
rather than demolishes uh

991
00:36:35,890 --> 00:36:36,858
historic structure and

992
00:36:36,858 --> 00:36:38,920
development team worked

993
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:39,294
diligently with the Planning

994
00:36:39,294 --> 00:36:40,929
Department the Landmarks

995
00:36:40,929 --> 00:36:43,329
Commission staff during article

996
00:36:43,364 --> 00:36:45,600
aid review to ensure that the

997
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,350
building's dimensions and

998
00:36:47,350 --> 00:36:49,350
design are contextually

999
00:36:49,471 --> 00:36:50,672
appropriate to the block and

1000
00:36:50,672 --> 00:36:51,706
sensitively respond to the

1001
00:36:51,706 --> 00:36:53,700
building's architecture.

1002
00:36:53,700 --> 00:36:54,209
And a chair of the board, uh,

1003
00:36:54,209 --> 00:36:54,709
would like a presentation on

1004
00:36:54,709 --> 00:36:56,144
the design.

1005
00:36:56,144 --> 00:36:57,279
I would turn the presentation

1006
00:36:57,279 --> 00:36:59,679
over to Shane Loci.

1007
00:36:59,681 --> 00:37:00,582
Uh, that is uh obviously the

1008
00:37:00,582 --> 00:37:00,882
call of the chair and the

1009
00:37:00,882 --> 00:37:02,830
board.

1010
00:37:02,830 --> 00:37:04,830
Absolutely.

1011
00:37:04,219 --> 00:37:05,120
So let me see if there are

1012
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,520
questions from the board.

1013
00:37:09,991 --> 00:37:10,692
I don't hear any questions from

1014
00:37:10,692 --> 00:37:12,692
the board.

1015
00:37:12,894 --> 00:37:13,261
So let's move on to public

1016
00:37:13,261 --> 00:37:15,261
testimony.

1017
00:37:16,865 --> 00:37:18,100
MADAM Chair, members of the

1018
00:37:18,100 --> 00:37:19,368
board Connor Newman with the

1019
00:37:19,368 --> 00:37:20,970
Mayor's Office of Neighborhood

1020
00:37:20,970 --> 00:37:22,237
Services this time of year I

1021
00:37:22,237 --> 00:37:23,672
seem to defer to the judgment

1022
00:37:23,672 --> 00:37:24,473
this board some backer space in

1023
00:37:24,473 --> 00:37:25,908
the community process.

1024
00:37:25,908 --> 00:37:26,942
Uh, just went through a

1025
00:37:26,942 --> 00:37:28,410
lengthy, uh, committee process

1026
00:37:28,410 --> 00:37:28,878
overseen by the Boston Planning

1027
00:37:28,878 --> 00:37:30,878
Board.

1028
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:31,447
Um, it's involved four public

1029
00:37:31,447 --> 00:37:33,181
meetings.

1030
00:37:33,181 --> 00:37:34,416
Uh, last year, um, there were

1031
00:37:34,416 --> 00:37:35,685
significant changes made after

1032
00:37:35,685 --> 00:37:36,919
community feedback regarding

1033
00:37:36,919 --> 00:37:38,887
the design of the proposal.

1034
00:37:38,887 --> 00:37:40,723
At one point there was a uh

1035
00:37:40,723 --> 00:37:42,958
residential component uh, as

1036
00:37:42,958 --> 00:37:44,594
well as concerns related to um

1037
00:37:44,594 --> 00:37:46,596
what residents want to see more

1038
00:37:46,596 --> 00:37:48,230
parking uh on site uh, the

1039
00:37:48,230 --> 00:37:49,865
outcome made those changes uh

1040
00:37:49,865 --> 00:37:51,334
they worked extensively with uh

1041
00:37:51,334 --> 00:37:52,735
kind of having which is in non

1042
00:37:52,735 --> 00:37:54,169
opposition to this proposal uh

1043
00:37:54,169 --> 00:37:55,404
as well as meeting the Saint

1044
00:37:55,404 --> 00:37:56,405
Vincent Lower and Neighborhood

1045
00:37:56,405 --> 00:37:57,807
Association which is very

1046
00:37:57,807 --> 00:37:59,242
pleased with the existing

1047
00:37:59,242 --> 00:38:01,642
facade was incorporated into

1048
00:38:01,844 --> 00:38:03,279
the project uh presently uh we

1049
00:38:03,279 --> 00:38:05,810
are we understand the community

1051
00:38:05,815 --> 00:38:07,417
direction of this project.

1052
00:38:07,417 --> 00:38:07,917
I would refer to the board.

1053
00:38:07,917 --> 00:38:09,917
Thank you.

Thank you.

The insurance we have actually

1056
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,920
from council offering.

1057
00:38:18,127 --> 00:38:19,362
Thank you.

1058
00:38:19,362 --> 00:38:20,196
My name is actually from

1059
00:38:20,196 --> 00:38:21,964
Councilor Flynn's office.

1060
00:38:21,964 --> 00:38:23,566
Council would like to go on

1061
00:38:23,566 --> 00:38:24,734
record in support not only from

1062
00:38:24,734 --> 00:38:26,169
the critical need for

1063
00:38:26,169 --> 00:38:27,838
maintaining a presence for the

1064
00:38:27,838 --> 00:38:29,673
trial court of the Commonwealth

1065
00:38:29,673 --> 00:38:31,475
in our criminal justice system

1066
00:38:31,475 --> 00:38:32,475
in South Boston but also a

1067
00:38:32,475 --> 00:38:33,710
community process with

1068
00:38:33,710 --> 00:38:34,911
neighbors in Abutters that

1069
00:38:34,911 --> 00:38:36,313
resulted in a number of good

1070
00:38:36,313 --> 00:38:38,313
faith compromises.

1071
00:38:38,315 --> 00:38:39,949
This included removing the

1072
00:38:39,949 --> 00:38:41,949
entire residential element

1073
00:38:42,386 --> 00:38:44,254
of the proposal and 22 units

1074
00:38:44,254 --> 00:38:45,488
originally proposed reducing

1075
00:38:45,488 --> 00:38:47,691
the height from six storeys

1076
00:38:47,691 --> 00:38:48,925
down to four storeys, changing

1077
00:38:48,925 --> 00:38:50,994
the design of the building in

1078
00:38:50,994 --> 00:38:53,396
attention to other key quality

1079
00:38:53,396 --> 00:38:53,830
of life concerns in the

1080
00:38:53,830 --> 00:38:54,864
neighborhood.

1081
00:38:54,864 --> 00:38:57,264
Thank you thank you.

1082
00:39:01,539 --> 00:39:04,374
And next the realm of good

1083
00:39:04,374 --> 00:39:05,609
morning um board the um I'm

1084
00:39:05,609 --> 00:39:06,430
from the Office of Historic

1085
00:39:06,430 --> 00:39:08,430
Preservation.

1086
00:39:08,145 --> 00:39:09,580
The proposed scope of work at

1087
00:39:09,580 --> 00:39:11,480
460 West Broadway in South

1088
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:12,649
Boston includes adaptive reuse

1089
00:39:12,649 --> 00:39:13,170
of an existing historic

1090
00:39:13,170 --> 00:39:14,585
structure.

1091
00:39:14,585 --> 00:39:15,986
The Boston Landmarks Commission

1092
00:39:15,986 --> 00:39:17,254
would like to state our full

1093
00:39:17,254 --> 00:39:18,689
support for this project, which

1094
00:39:18,689 --> 00:39:20,724
preserves an important historic

1095
00:39:20,724 --> 00:39:22,160
building while providing a much

1096
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,561
needed new space for the Boston

1097
00:39:23,561 --> 00:39:24,762
Municipal Court system.

1098
00:39:24,762 --> 00:39:25,763
The applicant worked very

1099
00:39:25,763 --> 00:39:26,798
closely with the landmarks

1100
00:39:26,798 --> 00:39:28,833
staff throughout their design

1101
00:39:28,833 --> 00:39:29,867
process, resulting in an

1102
00:39:29,867 --> 00:39:32,200
adaptive reuse project which

1103
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:32,937
will serve as an important

1104
00:39:32,937 --> 00:39:33,337
precedent for Boston's future

1105
00:39:33,337 --> 00:39:35,172
development.

1106
00:39:35,172 --> 00:39:37,172
Thank you.

00:39:38,809 --> 00:39:39,410
Okay, chair, we don't have

1109
00:39:40,678 --> 00:39:42,678
Okay.

1110
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:43,381
Uh, any other questions from

1111
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:45,381
the board?

1112
00:39:46,417 --> 00:39:49,417
MAY I have a motion?

1113
00:39:51,723 --> 00:39:52,190
Um, can I make a motion to

1114
00:39:52,190 --> 00:39:53,692
approve one?

1115
00:39:53,692 --> 00:39:54,793
Is there a second?

1116
00:39:54,793 --> 00:39:56,793

Um, and so we've revised the

1196
00:42:53,574 --> 00:42:55,242

1197
00:42:55,242 --> 00:42:57,642

The on the right side as well

is going to remain with the

1221
00:44:02,645 --> 00:44:03,445
parking on the right side

1222
00:44:03,445 --> 00:44:05,845

So the street wall elevation um

1238
00:44:47,323 --> 00:44:50,760
we the although the unit itself

1239
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,128
is mirrored the top floor is uh

1240
00:44:52,128 --> 00:44:53,796
is not mirrors so that to

1241
00:44:53,796 --> 00:44:56,399
provide a little more variation

1242
00:44:56,399 --> 00:44:59,999
along the facade and to uh

1243
00:45:00,870 --> 00:45:01,771
reduce the casting shadow um on

1244
00:45:01,771 --> 00:45:02,710
the neighbor on the left hand

1245
00:45:02,710 --> 00:45:04,710
side.

1246
00:45:13,517 --> 00:45:15,517
Yeah.

1247
00:45:15,818 --> 00:45:16,319
And this is the typical

1248
00:45:16,319 --> 00:45:18,319
building sections.

1249
00:45:18,554 --> 00:45:20,554
Okay.

1250
00:45:21,491 --> 00:45:21,791
Are there questions from the

1251
00:45:21,791 --> 00:45:23,791
board?

1252
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:26,829
Hearing?

1253
00:45:26,829 --> 00:45:28,829

1254
00:45:28,832 --> 00:45:30,320
Public testimony, MADAM Chair

1255
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:31,334
and members of the board for

1256
00:45:31,334 --> 00:45:31,668
the record, my name is Jeremy

1257
00:45:31,668 --> 00:45:33,102
Bembry.

1258
00:45:33,102 --> 00:45:34,170
I serve as the Roxbury

1259
00:45:34,170 --> 00:45:35,205
community engagement specialist

1260
00:45:35,205 --> 00:45:35,572
for the Office of Neighborhood

1261
00:45:35,572 --> 00:45:36,940
Services.

1262
00:45:36,940 --> 00:45:37,741
The applicant has completed the

1263
00:45:37,741 --> 00:45:38,742
community process which

1264
00:45:38,742 --> 00:45:40,577
consisted of an abundance

1265
00:45:40,577 --> 00:45:42,212
meeting facilitated on MAY 11th

1266
00:45:42,212 --> 00:45:44,470
with no opposition video but as

1267
00:45:44,470 --> 00:45:44,314
voices concerns such as parking

1268
00:45:44,314 --> 00:45:46,314
.

1269
00:45:46,316 --> 00:45:47,518
The proposal does not provide

1270
00:45:47,518 --> 00:45:48,485
parking about is probably what

1271
00:45:48,485 --> 00:45:49,286
to the congestion they

1272
00:45:49,286 --> 00:45:51,286
currently experience.

1273
00:45:51,288 --> 00:45:52,490
Another concern it was the

1274
00:45:52,490 --> 00:45:53,891
shadow buildings they create

1275
00:45:53,891 --> 00:45:54,191
the building they create for

1276
00:45:54,191 --> 00:45:55,625
link.

1277
00:45:55,625 --> 00:45:56,393
The size and scale is out

1278
00:45:56,393 --> 00:45:57,628
of character for the

1279
00:45:57,628 --> 00:45:59,262
neighborhood as well as the

1280
00:45:59,262 --> 00:46:00,731
designing Abutters pointed out

1281
00:46:00,731 --> 00:46:01,965
the designs the location of the

1282
00:46:01,965 --> 00:46:03,934
first and second floor porches

1283
00:46:03,934 --> 00:46:05,603
that are adjacent to the

1284
00:46:05,603 --> 00:46:07,400
properties bedroom windows as

1285
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:08,380
well as the appearance of the

1286
00:46:08,380 --> 00:46:09,673
front of the building that

1287
00:46:09,673 --> 00:46:11,742
looks more suitable as the rear

1288
00:46:11,742 --> 00:46:12,743
and vice versa becoming more

1289
00:46:12,743 --> 00:46:13,176
out of character for the

1290
00:46:13,176 --> 00:46:14,644
neighborhood.

1291
00:46:14,644 --> 00:46:16,470
Lastly and I put a question

1292
00:46:16,470 --> 00:46:17,481
about the fewer units would be

1293
00:46:17,481 --> 00:46:18,616
more suitable and if two units

1294
00:46:18,616 --> 00:46:19,500
would be more aligned with the

1295
00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:20,585
neighborhood.

1296
00:46:20,585 --> 00:46:21,785
Next the proposal was presented

1297
00:46:21,785 --> 00:46:23,187
that are about council who

1298
00:46:23,187 --> 00:46:23,554
voted in support of the

1299
00:46:23,554 --> 00:46:25,322
proposal.

1300
00:46:25,322 --> 00:46:26,757
To date our office has received

1301
00:46:26,757 --> 00:46:27,959
three letters of support

1302
00:46:27,959 --> 00:46:28,559
including one from Hyde Park

1303
00:46:28,559 --> 00:46:30,559
Neighborhood Council.

1304
00:46:31,228 --> 00:46:31,962
Thank you for your time and the

1305
00:46:31,962 --> 00:46:32,696
Moon's Office of Neighborhood

1306
00:46:32,696 --> 00:46:33,497
Services would like to defer to

1307
00:46:33,497 --> 00:46:36,497
the board for their judgment.

1308
00:46:36,668 --> 00:46:39,680
Thank you, MADAM Chair.

1309
00:46:39,937 --> 00:46:41,500
I don't see any hands anymore.

1310
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:42,773
Okay.

1311
00:46:42,773 --> 00:46:44,209
Whereas the applicant to

1312
00:46:44,209 --> 00:46:46,143
address any of those concerns.

1313
00:46:46,143 --> 00:46:48,543
Um hi, MADAM Chair.

1314
00:46:48,713 --> 00:46:50,348
Those concerns um, um

1315
00:46:50,348 --> 00:46:51,983
articulated by Jeremy um our

1316
00:46:51,983 --> 00:46:53,384
design was in response to that

1317
00:46:53,384 --> 00:46:54,785
Abutters meeting so that

1318
00:46:54,785 --> 00:46:55,787
Abutters meeting took place

1319
00:46:55,787 --> 00:46:56,888
prior to this revision.

1320
00:46:56,888 --> 00:46:59,288
Uh, we were originally

1321
00:46:59,323 --> 00:47:00,325
proposing a 3d family building,

1322
00:47:00,325 --> 00:47:02,494
um, with no parking.

1323
00:47:02,494 --> 00:47:04,620
Um, and we then adjusted the

1324
00:47:04,620 --> 00:47:05,263
plans to be a two townhome

1325
00:47:05,263 --> 00:47:05,564
building with one parking

1326
00:47:05,564 --> 00:47:06,797
space.

1327
00:47:06,797 --> 00:47:08,266
Um, as a result of that

1328
00:47:08,266 --> 00:47:10,680
abutters meeting of which then

1329
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:11,690

1330
00:47:11,690 --> 00:47:12,370
unanimous support letter.

00:47:12,370 --> 00:47:14,172
Thank you.

1332
00:47:14,172 --> 00:47:14,472
Any other questions from the

1333
00:47:14,472 --> 00:47:16,472
board?

1334
00:47:17,809 --> 00:47:20,809
MAY I have a motion?

Um, they have purchased this,

1371
00:48:37,900 --> 00:48:39,158
uh, single family house as

1372
00:48:39,158 --> 00:48:41,558

00:48:41,761 --> 00:48:43,229
have, uh, embarked on a

1374
00:48:43,229 --> 00:48:44,797
wonderful restoration of the

1375
00:48:44,797 --> 00:48:45,999
house, bringing it back to its,

1376
00:48:45,999 --> 00:48:47,999
uh, original beauty.

1377
00:48:48,602 --> 00:48:49,936
It had suffered some decline as

1378
00:48:49,936 --> 00:48:52,336
part of the work.

1379
00:48:52,372 --> 00:48:54,740
Um, we are seeking permission

1380
00:48:54,740 --> 00:48:56,976
to add a, uh, projecting

1381
00:48:56,976 --> 00:48:58,345
balcony at the kitchen level on

1382
00:48:58,345 --> 00:49:00,780
the back of the house that

1383
00:49:00,780 --> 00:49:03,817
would be uh, six foot deep and

1384
00:49:03,817 --> 00:49:06,453
uh, supported on brackets and

1385
00:49:06,453 --> 00:49:08,221
then also to add a dormer and a

1386
00:49:08,221 --> 00:49:11,425
small roof deck at the roof

1387
00:49:11,425 --> 00:49:13,226
level that would be um very

1388
00:49:13,226 --> 00:49:15,428
similar to uh our next door

1389
00:49:15,428 --> 00:49:17,464
neighbor at 68 uh Rutland

1390
00:49:17,464 --> 00:49:19,866

1391
00:49:19,866 --> 00:49:21,902
provide some much needed

1392
00:49:21,902 --> 00:49:23,938
outdoor uh, living space and

some living space on the fourth

1394
00:49:25,539 --> 00:49:27,107
floor due to the, you know, the

1395
00:49:27,107 --> 00:49:29,176
of the roof and it provides

1396
00:49:29,176 --> 00:49:32,176
some much better bedroom space.

1397
00:49:32,746 --> 00:49:34,147

1398
00:49:34,147 --> 00:49:35,916

feedback from this meeting was

1444
00:50:57,966 --> 00:50:59,200
overwhelming support by their

1445
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:00,402

good fit for the neighborhood

1453
00:51:10,713 --> 00:51:11,946
and the proposal was not in the

1454
00:51:11,946 --> 00:51:13,148
catchment area of any civic

home and it's a

1500
00:52:39,102 --> 00:52:40,470
multigenerational household.

1501
00:52:40,470 --> 00:52:41,705
So they're looking for an

00:52:41,705 --> 00:52:42,739

00:52:42,739 --> 00:52:44,941
the existing single family

1504
00:52:44,941 --> 00:52:46,343
that's there now, uh, I think

1505
00:52:46,343 --> 00:52:47,912
the next slide the second side

1506
00:52:47,912 --> 00:52:50,147

Um, there's three variances

00:52:51,748 --> 00:52:53,550
that are um being requested.

1509
00:52:53,550 --> 00:52:54,785
Two of them are existing

00:52:54,785 --> 00:52:56,186
nonconformity which is the loft

1511
00:52:56,186 --> 00:52:56,520
area minimum and the front yard

1512
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,488
minimum.

1513
00:52:58,488 --> 00:53:00,457
Uh, our addition of the bedroom

1514
00:53:00,457 --> 00:53:03,600
uh, makes the bar go up from

00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,496

00:53:08,732 --> 00:53:09,967
essentially what we're doing is

1520
00:53:09,967 --> 00:53:11,969
we're filling that little back

1521
00:53:11,969 --> 00:53:13,804
third floor area above the

00:53:26,830 --> 00:53:27,485

1534
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,188
side uh, the proposal does not

1535
00:53:31,188 --> 00:53:33,224
impact the existing driveway

1536
00:53:33,224 --> 00:53:35,590
existing off street parking uh

1537
00:53:35,590 --> 00:53:36,694

00:53:41,632 --> 00:53:43,670
Um and then the subsequent

1543
00:53:43,670 --> 00:53:44,669

1544
00:53:44,669 --> 00:53:45,904

the architect on the proposal

1626
00:56:14,220 --> 00:56:16,220
uh, pretty straightforward

1627
00:56:16,623 --> 00:56:17,557
project in Jamaica Plain at 388

1628
00:56:17,557 --> 00:56:19,360
Arbor Way.

1629
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,229
Uh, we're proposing to change

1630
00:56:22,229 --> 00:56:23,597
the occupancy from its existing

1631
00:56:23,597 --> 00:56:25,565
form, which is a two family

1632
00:56:25,565 --> 00:56:28,135
dwelling to a three family

1633
00:56:28,135 --> 00:56:30,300
dwelling, uh, by way

1634
00:56:30,300 --> 00:56:32,403
of legalizing, legalizing and

1635
00:56:33,874 --> 00:56:34,174
expanding the um, basement

1636
00:56:34,174 --> 00:56:35,743
unit.

1637
00:56:35,743 --> 00:56:36,710
It's actually a garden level

1638
00:56:36,710 --> 00:56:38,345
because it is elevated.

1639
00:56:38,345 --> 00:56:39,146
The back of this building is a

1640
00:56:39,146 --> 00:56:40,581
very steep decline.

1641
00:56:40,581 --> 00:56:43,150
It goes in the rear.

1642
00:56:43,150 --> 00:56:44,752
Um, and then uh, add some

1643
00:56:44,752 --> 00:56:47,210
additional space into the

1644
00:56:47,210 --> 00:56:49,890
unfinished uh, basement area

1645
00:56:49,890 --> 00:56:51,125
basically combining those spots

1646
00:56:51,125 --> 00:56:53,394
um, to create habitable living

1647
00:56:53,394 --> 00:56:55,829
space and also improving egress

1648
00:56:55,829 --> 00:56:56,230
with some minor uh, interior

1649
00:56:56,230 --> 00:56:58,230
renovations.

1650
00:56:58,765 --> 00:56:59,600
No changes are proposed to the

1651
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,835
contours of the building.

1652
00:57:01,835 --> 00:57:03,838
So building uh will remain the

1653
00:57:03,838 --> 00:57:05,306
envelope and structure will

1654
00:57:05,306 --> 00:57:06,241
remain in terms of height and

1655
00:57:06,241 --> 00:57:08,241
the boundary lines.

1656
00:57:08,443 --> 00:57:10,645
Uh, the project also has to

1657
00:57:10,645 --> 00:57:12,914
note off of the Arbor Way, uh,

1658
00:57:12,914 --> 00:57:14,949
three off street parking spaces

1659
00:57:14,949 --> 00:57:15,950
that can be utilized um, by the

1660
00:57:15,950 --> 00:57:18,350
residents of the building.

1661
00:57:18,786 --> 00:57:19,721
My client recently purchased

1662
00:57:19,721 --> 00:57:21,721
this property.

1663
00:57:21,923 --> 00:57:24,159
Um, and this particular unit

1664
00:57:24,159 --> 00:57:25,293
was already built out uh, on

1665
00:57:25,293 --> 00:57:27,293
that garden level.

1666
00:57:29,130 --> 00:57:32,000
Uh, it's 840ft2 currently with

1667
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,602
the proposed expansion uh, that

1668
00:57:33,602 --> 00:57:36,838
would go up uh, slightly over

1669
00:57:36,838 --> 00:57:38,838
1200 about 1200 and 40ft2.

1670
00:57:39,808 --> 00:57:42,770
Um I'm sorry, 1400 and seven

1671
00:57:42,770 --> 00:57:44,446
square feet, uh, which would

1672
00:57:44,446 --> 00:57:46,414
add two bedrooms, two baths

1673
00:57:46,414 --> 00:57:47,615
unit um to the bill for

1674
00:57:47,615 --> 00:57:48,616
legalize that space and add

1675
00:57:48,616 --> 00:57:50,616
some additional space.

1676
00:57:50,786 --> 00:57:52,587
Uh, if you go to the next slide

1677
00:57:52,587 --> 00:57:54,856
please these are just the

1678
00:57:54,856 --> 00:57:57,856
layouts of existing uh, plans.

1679
00:57:57,860 --> 00:57:58,994
If uh, MR. Ambassador, if you

1680
00:57:58,994 --> 00:57:59,561
could go through the plans.

1681
00:57:59,561 --> 00:58:01,463
Thank you.

1682
00:58:01,463 --> 00:58:02,698
Uh, you can keep sliding

1683
00:58:02,698 --> 00:58:04,600
through and this just shows

1684
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,202
this is actually if you go back

1685
00:58:07,202 --> 00:58:09,171
one um this just shows the site

1686
00:58:09,171 --> 00:58:11,640
plans you can see off of um,

1687
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:13,609
the side of Arbor Way is where

1688
00:58:13,609 --> 00:58:15,844
there is a shared easement

1689
00:58:15,844 --> 00:58:18,113
access for parking in the back

1690
00:58:18,113 --> 00:58:18,613
of the property for those three

1691
00:58:18,613 --> 00:58:20,613
spaces.

1692
00:58:20,616 --> 00:58:23,419
Uh, the new legalized unit uh

1693
00:58:23,419 --> 00:58:25,420
would have 1400 and seven

1694
00:58:25,420 --> 00:58:28,420
square feet that would combine

1695
00:58:28,658 --> 00:58:29,591
840 existing plus 570 uh, in

1696
00:58:29,591 --> 00:58:31,591
the basement.

1697
00:58:31,961 --> 00:58:33,328
Uh the unit will have seven

1698
00:58:33,328 --> 00:58:35,765
foot eight inch uh ceiling

1699
00:58:35,765 --> 00:58:37,933
height above and seven foot six

1700
00:58:37,933 --> 00:58:40,336
uh below in the basement it

1701
00:58:40,336 --> 00:58:42,772
will be a sprinkler unit uh 13

1702
00:58:42,772 --> 00:58:44,841
d fire suppression system and

1703
00:58:44,841 --> 00:58:47,241
completely code compliant with

1704
00:58:47,276 --> 00:58:49,676
two ingresses as well.

1705
00:58:50,747 --> 00:58:52,349
Uh the uh bpa recommendation as

1706
00:58:52,349 --> 00:58:54,383
you know was to support this

1707
00:58:54,383 --> 00:58:55,618
fits right in their guidelines

1708
00:58:55,618 --> 00:58:57,453
of keeping existing buildings

1709
00:58:57,453 --> 00:58:59,689
but also adding residential

1710
00:58:59,689 --> 00:59:02,890
housing uh where available.

1711
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,126
This location is 500ft from

1712
00:59:04,126 --> 00:59:06,362
Forest Hill Station so it makes

1713
00:59:06,362 --> 00:59:07,330
it ideal for for commuters.

1714
00:59:07,330 --> 00:59:08,765
There's actually a lot

1715
00:59:08,765 --> 00:59:09,966
of existing green space and the

1716
00:59:09,966 --> 00:59:11,334
front and sides of this

1717
00:59:11,334 --> 00:59:13,334
property as well.

1718
00:59:13,937 --> 00:59:16,172
Uh, just to quickly go over the

1719
00:59:16,172 --> 00:59:17,940
variances needed the use

1720
00:59:17,940 --> 00:59:19,375
because it is a two out

1721
00:59:19,375 --> 00:59:21,578
of district would be required

1722
00:59:21,578 --> 00:59:24,614
for a variance for use uh, if

1723
00:59:24,614 --> 00:59:27,217
they are goes up uh slightly uh

1724
00:59:27,217 --> 00:59:29,617
existing as.92 would be

1725
00:59:31,540 --> 00:59:34,540
proposing 1.02 and then um the

1726
00:59:34,524 --> 00:59:36,924
minimum lot size 7000 required

1727
00:59:38,127 --> 00:59:40,597
or at 6000 167 so those who're

1728
00:59:40,597 --> 00:59:43,330
uh were hit with for violations

1729
00:59:43,330 --> 00:59:44,868
it also mentioned Greenbelt

1730
00:59:44,868 --> 00:59:46,637
protection overlay district

1731
00:59:46,637 --> 00:59:47,571
because it does fall next to

1732
00:59:47,571 --> 00:59:49,571
the Arbor Way.

1733
00:59:49,739 --> 00:59:51,742
However when you look in the

1734
00:59:51,742 --> 00:59:53,744
code uh because we're not

1735
00:59:53,744 --> 00:59:55,412
adding uh a certain number

1736
00:59:55,412 --> 00:59:56,613
of additional square footage or

1737
00:59:56,613 --> 00:59:57,781
a new building mass that

1738
00:59:57,781 --> 01:00:00,181
actually we believe was

1739
01:00:00,250 --> 01:00:02,252
incorrectly cited uh, for that

1740
01:00:02,252 --> 01:00:04,221
one uh, variance but we can

1741
01:00:04,221 --> 01:00:07,224
deal with isg on that as well.

1742
01:00:07,224 --> 01:00:08,859
Um, we uh did get the Jamaica

1743
01:00:08,859 --> 01:00:10,294
Plain Neighborhood Council

1744
01:00:10,294 --> 01:00:12,294
support that subcommittee.

1745
01:00:13,264 --> 01:00:14,698
Um and with that, uh, we can

1746
01:00:14,698 --> 01:00:15,533
answer any questions that the

1747
01:00:15,533 --> 01:00:16,133
board MAY have.

1748
01:00:16,133 --> 01:00:18,133
Thank you.

1749
01:00:18,769 --> 01:00:19,237
Thank you questions from the

1750
01:00:19,237 --> 01:00:21,237
board.

1751
01:00:23,907 --> 01:00:25,543
During my public testimony,

1752
01:00:25,543 --> 01:00:26,543
MADAM Chair and members of the

1753
01:00:26,543 --> 01:00:27,211
board for the record, my name

1754
01:00:27,211 --> 01:00:28,779
is Jeremy Bembry.

1755
01:00:28,779 --> 01:00:29,814
I'm the Jacob Lane community

01:00:29,814 --> 01:00:31,215
engagement specialist for the

1757
01:00:31,215 --> 01:00:32,650
office services.

1758
01:00:32,650 --> 01:00:33,417
The applicant has completed the

1759
01:00:33,417 --> 01:00:35,417
community process which

1760
01:00:35,686 --> 01:00:37,322
consisted of a abutters meeting

1761
01:00:37,322 --> 01:00:38,522
facilitated on JUNE 17th with

1762
01:00:38,522 --> 01:00:39,570
one concern and addressed in

1763
01:00:39,570 --> 01:00:40,458
the opposition.

1764
01:00:40,458 --> 01:00:41,592
The proposal to move forward

1765
01:00:41,592 --> 01:00:42,626
have met with the Jamaica Plain

1766
01:00:42,626 --> 01:00:43,595
Neighborhood Council who voted

1767
01:00:43,595 --> 01:00:45,596
to approve the proposal.

1768
01:00:45,596 --> 01:00:46,598
To date our office had one

1769
01:00:46,598 --> 01:00:47,865
letter of approval from the

1770
01:00:47,865 --> 01:00:48,200
Jamaica Plain Neighborhood

1771
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:49,433
Council.

1772
01:00:49,433 --> 01:00:50,802
Thank you for your time and the

1773
01:00:50,802 --> 01:00:51,736
Mayor's Office of Labor would

1774
01:00:51,736 --> 01:00:52,170
like to defer to the board for

1775
01:00:52,170 --> 01:00:54,170
the judgment.

1776
01:00:57,408 --> 01:00:57,943
If you MADAM Chair, we should

1777
01:00:57,943 --> 01:00:58,809
not comment.

1778
01:00:58,809 --> 01:01:00,809
Okay.

1779
01:01:01,112 --> 01:01:04,712
With that we have a motion.

1780
01:01:04,950 --> 01:01:06,684
We'll send up approval.

1781
01:01:06,684 --> 01:01:09,840
I have a second.

1782
01:01:09,488 --> 01:01:10,956
Second, MR. Pembridge.

1783
01:01:10,956 --> 01:01:12,956
Yeah.

1784
01:01:16,461 --> 01:01:19,300

Yes, MISS Barbarossa?

1786
01:01:21,533 --> 01:01:22,100
Yes, MISS.

1787
01:01:22,100 --> 01:01:24,100
We will.

1788
01:01:26,710 --> 01:01:27,539
Yes, MR. Langham.

1789
01:01:27,539 --> 01:01:29,539
Yes.

1790
01:01:29,975 --> 01:01:30,575
Chair votes yes.

1791
01:01:30,575 --> 01:01:31,443
The motion carries.

1792
01:01:31,443 --> 01:01:32,210
Good luck.

1793
01:01:32,210 --> 01:01:34,610
Thank you very much.

1794
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,755
Next we have case voa 1837050

1795
01:01:43,755 --> 01:01:44,890
with the address of 17 Copley

1796
01:01:44,890 --> 01:01:46,890
Street.

1797
01:01:46,925 --> 01:01:49,127
If the applicant and what they

1798
01:01:49,127 --> 01:01:50,620
represent up for what they put

1799
01:01:50,620 --> 01:01:52,620
to the board.

1800
01:01:52,970 --> 01:01:53,733
Yes.

1801
01:01:53,733 --> 01:01:55,134
Thank you, MR. Sturbridge and

1802
01:01:55,134 --> 01:01:56,350
good morning, MADAM Chair.

1803
01:01:56,350 --> 01:01:57,803
Members of the board.

1804
01:01:57,803 --> 01:01:59,104
Uh, for the record, my name is

1805
01:01:59,104 --> 01:02:00,239
Matt Eichel and I'm an attorney

1806
01:02:00,239 --> 01:02:01,641
with Fletcher Tilton here on

1807
01:02:01,641 --> 01:02:03,309
behalf of the applicant with me

1808
01:02:03,309 --> 01:02:05,745
this morning I have Jennifer

1809
01:02:05,745 --> 01:02:07,980
Hoff from q architecture.

1810
01:02:07,980 --> 01:02:09,415
We're here this morning seeking

1811
01:02:09,415 --> 01:02:11,450
relief to renovate the existing

1812
01:02:11,450 --> 01:02:13,850
structure, including erecting a

1813
01:02:13,850 --> 01:02:15,455
rear addition and new dormers

1814
01:02:15,455 --> 01:02:16,688
as well as the change the

1815
01:02:16,688 --> 01:02:18,491
occupancy from the existing two

1816
01:02:18,491 --> 01:02:19,580
family dwelling to a three

1817
01:02:19,580 --> 01:02:21,580
family dwelling.

1818
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:22,862
The project also includes

1819
01:02:22,862 --> 01:02:24,464
extending the driveway for a

1820
01:02:24,464 --> 01:02:26,464
second parking space.

1821
01:02:27,867 --> 01:02:30,103
The zoning district is a2f 4000

1822
01:02:30,103 --> 01:02:32,104
and the lot size is 4000ft2.

1823
01:02:32,104 --> 01:02:34,730
Now the property as you can see

1824
01:02:34,730 --> 01:02:35,709
here on the on the plan is

1825
01:02:35,709 --> 01:02:37,777
located at the corner of Copley

1826
01:02:37,777 --> 01:02:39,645
Street and Atherton Street with

1827
01:02:39,645 --> 01:02:41,800
the front door on Copley there

1828
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:42,415
to kind of the top right where

1829
01:02:42,415 --> 01:02:44,815
the street dead ends.

1830
01:02:44,884 --> 01:02:46,886
Uh the existing structure has

1831
01:02:46,886 --> 01:02:47,954
many unique uh, features and

1832
01:02:47,954 --> 01:02:49,756
architectural detail so we'll

1833
01:02:49,756 --> 01:02:50,990
be preserving most of that uh,

1834
01:02:50,990 --> 01:02:51,525
and maintaining it as part

1835
01:02:51,525 --> 01:02:53,360
of the project.

1836
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,361
However, the renovations will

1837
01:02:55,361 --> 01:02:56,930
allow for a more functional

1838
01:02:56,930 --> 01:02:58,765
interior layout and the

1839
01:02:58,765 --> 01:03:00,330
addition will allow for the

1840
01:03:00,330 --> 01:03:02,330
existing cantilevered second

1841
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,538
floor porch to be squared off

1842
01:03:04,538 --> 01:03:05,772
and provide more living space

1843
01:03:05,772 --> 01:03:08,772
for all three proposed units.

1844
01:03:09,609 --> 01:03:11,611
Uh, the proposed third floor

1845
01:03:11,611 --> 01:03:12,779
unit uh will be done with very

1846
01:03:12,779 --> 01:03:13,146
little changes to the

1847
01:03:13,146 --> 01:03:14,147
footprint.

1848
01:03:14,147 --> 01:03:16,183
Again, there's a cantilevered

1849
01:03:16,183 --> 01:03:17,150
porch that extends beyond the

1850
01:03:17,150 --> 01:03:17,517
first and third floor

1851
01:03:17,517 --> 01:03:19,860
currently.

1852
01:03:19,860 --> 01:03:21,254
So we'll be squaring that off

1853
01:03:21,254 --> 01:03:22,789
and it'll look uh, not very

1854
01:03:22,789 --> 01:03:24,391
different than what it is today

1855
01:03:24,391 --> 01:03:25,993
other than being squared off uh

1856
01:03:25,993 --> 01:03:27,194
at the at the lower level and

1857
01:03:27,194 --> 01:03:29,594
the third floor level.

1858
01:03:29,596 --> 01:03:31,232
Uh, the project also includes a

1859
01:03:31,232 --> 01:03:32,466
new sprinkler system to make

1860
01:03:32,466 --> 01:03:34,268
the building and neighborhood

1861
01:03:34,268 --> 01:03:36,137
safer as well as energy

1862
01:03:36,137 --> 01:03:37,938
efficiency upgrades in terms

1863
01:03:37,938 --> 01:03:39,807
of zoning violations, the

1864
01:03:39,807 --> 01:03:41,441
majority of the violations for

1865
01:03:41,441 --> 01:03:43,677
floor area ratio, side yard and

1866
01:03:43,677 --> 01:03:45,178
parking are all preexisting.

1867
01:03:45,178 --> 01:03:47,147
We are also seeking relief for

1868
01:03:47,147 --> 01:03:48,548
the use as this is a to us

1869
01:03:48,548 --> 01:03:49,650
district and we're seeking a

1870
01:03:49,650 --> 01:03:51,650
third unit.

1871
01:03:52,287 --> 01:03:54,321
All three of the units are

1872
01:03:54,321 --> 01:03:55,322
proposed to be three bedroom

1873
01:03:55,322 --> 01:03:57,722
units with two bathrooms.

1874
01:03:57,725 --> 01:03:59,360
The basement will contain uh

1875
01:03:59,360 --> 01:03:59,660
common mechanical and storage

1876
01:03:59,660 --> 01:04:01,660
area.

1877
01:04:01,863 --> 01:04:04,298
The first floor will house unit

1878
01:04:04,298 --> 01:04:05,533
one which is 11,000ft2 and

1879
01:04:05,533 --> 01:04:06,233
again contains three bedrooms

1880
01:04:06,233 --> 01:04:08,680
two baths.

1881
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:11,306
The second floor will have unit

1882
01:04:11,306 --> 01:04:13,307
two which is 1061ft2 and the

1883
01:04:13,307 --> 01:04:15,710
third floor will house unit

1884
01:04:15,710 --> 01:04:18,110
three which is 1024ft2.

1885
01:04:18,312 --> 01:04:20,749
Uh the this project did go

1886
01:04:20,749 --> 01:04:22,160
through uh a community process

1887
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,180
including an abutters meeting

1888
01:04:24,180 --> 01:04:25,453
as well as meeting with the

1889
01:04:25,453 --> 01:04:27,522

1891
01:04:29,157 --> 01:04:29,490
unanimously to support the

1892
01:04:29,490 --> 01:04:31,490
project.

1893
01:04:31,626 --> 01:04:32,793
Uh, with that I'll pause and

1894
01:04:32,793 --> 01:04:33,995

1895
01:04:33,995 --> 01:04:35,230
architect and I will happily

01:04:35,730 --> 01:04:37,465
might have.

1898
01:04:37,465 --> 01:04:38,967
Thank you.

1899
01:04:38,967 --> 01:04:40,569
Go ahead.

1900
01:04:40,569 --> 01:04:41,269
Good morning, MADAM Chair.

1901
01:04:41,269 --> 01:04:42,637
Board members.

01:04:42,905 --> 01:04:44,720
Hi.

I am the principal architect

1905
01:04:45,573 --> 01:04:46,942
Goodhue Architecture located at

1906
01:04:46,942 --> 01:04:47,342
53 Harvard Street in

1907
01:04:47,342 --> 01:04:48,877
Dorchester.

1908
01:04:48,877 --> 01:04:50,111
There are some technical

1909
01:04:50,111 --> 01:04:51,513
problems on the platform this

1910
01:04:51,513 --> 01:04:51,880
morning so that's why I'm not a

1911
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:53,682
panelist.

1912
01:04:53,682 --> 01:04:54,582
Um, but um, let me know if you

1913
01:04:54,582 --> 01:04:56,585
have trouble hearing me.

1914
01:04:56,585 --> 01:04:57,820
Um, so 17 Copley Street is an

1915
01:04:57,820 --> 01:05:00,220
existing two family building

1916
01:05:00,220 --> 01:05:01,656
built in 1900 and designed and

1917
01:05:01,656 --> 01:05:02,358
classic Queen and Victorian

1918
01:05:02,358 --> 01:05:04,159
style um.

1919
01:05:04,159 --> 01:05:05,594
The project is to convert the

1920
01:05:05,594 --> 01:05:07,263
existing two family into three

1921
01:05:07,263 --> 01:05:08,897
while strictly respecting the

1922
01:05:08,897 --> 01:05:10,899
historical character to home um

1923
01:05:10,899 --> 01:05:12,534
and so to achieve the design we

1924
01:05:12,534 --> 01:05:13,969
add strategic dormers and the

1925
01:05:13,969 --> 01:05:15,570
rear addition that squares off

1926
01:05:15,570 --> 01:05:16,304
an efficient rear section

1927
01:05:16,304 --> 01:05:18,240
of the building.

1928
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:19,274
So the priority is to preserve

1929
01:05:19,274 --> 01:05:20,943
the signature hallmarks of the

1930
01:05:20,943 --> 01:05:22,943
beautiful architectural style

1931
01:05:22,945 --> 01:05:23,279
um and create much needed

1932
01:05:23,279 --> 01:05:24,646
housing.

1933
01:05:24,646 --> 01:05:26,480
Uh one of the best features

1934
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:27,282
of the property is the large

1935
01:05:27,282 --> 01:05:29,285
beautiful green space and the

1936
01:05:29,285 --> 01:05:31,120
front and side yards and so to

1937
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:32,121
to emphasize the project will

1938
01:05:32,121 --> 01:05:33,522
entirely be contained within

1939
01:05:33,522 --> 01:05:35,358
these existing setbacks and

1940
01:05:35,358 --> 01:05:36,125
does not exceed the existing

1941
01:05:36,125 --> 01:05:38,125
building footprint.

1942
01:05:38,127 --> 01:05:39,728
Um, if you go towards the floor

1943
01:05:39,728 --> 01:05:41,564
plans but the basement level

1944
01:05:41,564 --> 01:05:43,633
will be dedicated entirely to

1945
01:05:43,633 --> 01:05:45,680
mechanical systems, utilities,

1946
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:47,360
fire sprinkler and storage.

1947
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:48,805
The first floor uh which is

1948
01:05:48,805 --> 01:05:50,720
centered is similar to the

1949
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:51,307
current existing condition

1950
01:05:51,307 --> 01:05:53,343
where the residents will enter

1951
01:05:53,343 --> 01:05:54,744
from the main front porch from

1952
01:05:54,744 --> 01:05:56,779
directly into a three bedroom

1953
01:05:56,779 --> 01:05:57,814
two bathroom unit and on the

1954
01:05:57,814 --> 01:06:00,160
second floor, which is accessed

1955
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:03,160
by a common stairwell will

1956
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:04,530
also, um have a bright open

1957
01:06:04,530 --> 01:06:06,322
concept three bedroom two

1958
01:06:06,322 --> 01:06:07,490
bathroom unit and third floor

1959
01:06:07,490 --> 01:06:10,292
is from the same common

1960
01:06:10,292 --> 01:06:10,760
stairwell um and and it's

1961
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:12,760
unique.

1962
01:06:22,380 --> 01:06:22,405
I I I think we're losing you,

1963
01:06:22,405 --> 01:06:24,405
Jennifer.

1964
01:06:28,478 --> 01:06:30,478
Tony, go.

1965
01:06:30,714 --> 01:06:33,117
Do you want to pause here since

1966
01:06:33,117 --> 01:06:34,684
we yes, MADAM Chair, I think,

1967
01:06:34,684 --> 01:06:35,952
uh, I was getting to the

1968
01:06:35,952 --> 01:06:37,955
conclusion of her presentation

1969
01:06:37,955 --> 01:06:38,455
so if she comes back and must

1970
01:06:38,455 --> 01:06:39,756
have more.

1971
01:06:39,756 --> 01:06:40,457
But I think we can pause here

1972
01:06:40,457 --> 01:06:41,158
and see if there's any

1973
01:06:41,158 --> 01:06:42,590
questions from the board.

1974
01:06:42,590 --> 01:06:43,760
Thank you.

1975
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,760
Any questions from the board?

1976
01:06:47,970 --> 01:06:47,564
Hearing?

1977
01:06:47,564 --> 01:06:49,564
None.

1978
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:51,134
We have public testimony, MADAM

1979
01:06:51,134 --> 01:06:52,236
Chair and members of the board.

1980
01:06:52,236 --> 01:06:52,769
For the record my name is

1981
01:06:52,769 --> 01:06:54,170
Jeremy Bembry.

1982
01:06:54,170 --> 01:06:55,405
I'm the Roxbury engagement

1983
01:06:55,405 --> 01:06:56,390
specialist with the Office

1984
01:06:56,390 --> 01:06:57,641
of Neighborhood Services.

1985
01:06:57,641 --> 01:06:58,842
The applicant has completed the

1986
01:06:58,842 --> 01:07:00,770
community process which

1987
01:07:00,770 --> 01:07:01,879
consisted of an Abutters we

1988
01:07:01,879 --> 01:07:03,280
take facilitated on MAY 18th

1989
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:04,849
was very well attended.

1990
01:07:04,849 --> 01:07:05,816
A director Berto voiced

1991
01:07:05,816 --> 01:07:06,817
concerns for parking

1992
01:07:06,817 --> 01:07:07,785
specifically with their

1993
01:07:07,785 --> 01:07:09,387
driveway maintaining

1994
01:07:09,387 --> 01:07:09,820
accessibility during

1995
01:07:09,820 --> 01:07:11,355
construction.

1996
01:07:11,355 --> 01:07:12,790
The construction timeline and

1997
01:07:12,790 --> 01:07:13,124
noise were also a concern for

1998
01:07:13,124 --> 01:07:14,491
voters.

1999
01:07:14,491 --> 01:07:15,460
Lastly, the current residents

2000
01:07:15,460 --> 01:07:16,693
with their concern for

2001
01:07:16,693 --> 01:07:18,329
displacement stated they were

2002
01:07:18,329 --> 01:07:19,663
not notified of the proposal.

2003
01:07:19,663 --> 01:07:21,265

Got to proceed.

2007

Last update our resident with

2008
01:07:28,139 --> 01:07:29,340
the concern for displacement

2009
01:07:29,340 --> 01:07:30,574
stated that they were not

2010
01:07:30,574 --> 01:07:31,675
notified of the proposed so I

2011
01:07:31,675 --> 01:07:32,910
would not have taken the

2012
01:07:32,910 --> 01:07:33,944
property if they were aware

2013
01:07:33,944 --> 01:07:35,379
of the upcoming construction.

2014
01:07:35,379 --> 01:07:36,414
The residents stated they would

2015
01:07:36,414 --> 01:07:37,582
need more time with the

2016
01:07:37,582 --> 01:07:38,983
proposal was approved to move a

2017
01:07:38,983 --> 01:07:40,418
second time at least one year

Mayor's Office of Neighborhood

2026
01:07:48,993 --> 01:07:49,861
Services would like to defer to

2027
01:07:49,861 --> 01:07:51,929
the board for their judgment.

2028
01:07:51,929 --> 01:07:53,929
If.

2029
01:07:55,333 --> 01:07:56,134
MADAM Chair, we do have

2030
01:07:56,134 --> 01:07:58,134
additional comments.

2031
01:07:59,671 --> 01:08:02,710
Okay, but I'm sorry.

not this case okay.

2035
01:08:10,916 --> 01:08:13,118

Members of the board attorney

2063
01:09:14,614 --> 01:09:16,150
Derek Small of a business 51

2064
01:09:16,150 --> 01:09:17,783
Thompson Road in Braintree.

2065
01:09:17,783 --> 01:09:19,219
I'm sad we're here today

2066
01:09:19,219 --> 01:09:20,286
seeking relief to change the

2067
01:09:20,286 --> 01:09:21,754
legal occupancy of the building

2068
01:09:21,754 --> 01:09:23,556
from seven residential units to

2069
01:09:23,556 --> 01:09:25,556
eight residential units.

2070
01:09:25,725 --> 01:09:27,327
Actually, MADAM Chair, to

2071
01:09:27,327 --> 01:09:29,562
confirm, um, the eight

2072
01:09:29,562 --> 01:09:31,598
residential units um, we went

2073
01:09:31,598 --> 01:09:33,800
to pull permits to do work on

2074
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,690
the building and there was an

2075
01:09:36,690 --> 01:09:37,470
erroneous date, uh, with regard

2076
01:09:37,470 --> 01:09:37,837
to the occupancy of the

2077
01:09:37,837 --> 01:09:39,672
building.

2078
01:09:39,672 --> 01:09:41,874
So we are here to square away

2079
01:09:41,874 --> 01:09:43,710
the, uh, records that is the

2080
01:09:43,710 --> 01:09:46,110
adult legalize the basement

2081
01:09:46,513 --> 01:09:49,916
unit if you scroll down one uh

2082
01:09:49,916 --> 01:09:51,918
,slide or maybe two you can

2083
01:09:51,918 --> 01:09:54,554
see from the picture on the

2084
01:09:54,554 --> 01:09:58,154
left um down one more please.

2085
01:09:58,959 --> 01:10:00,493
On the on the top left.

2086
01:10:00,493 --> 01:10:02,462
Um it is a walkout.

2087
01:10:02,462 --> 01:10:04,640
The building sits on a on the

2088
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,467
hill and the topography is such

2089
01:10:07,467 --> 01:10:09,903
that the rear um means

2090
01:10:09,903 --> 01:10:11,738
of egress and the most of the

2091
01:10:11,738 --> 01:10:11,972
basement units are above grade

2092
01:10:11,972 --> 01:10:13,972
.

2093
01:10:15,141 --> 01:10:17,744
And so we are here again to

2094
01:10:17,744 --> 01:10:19,379
legalize um, the unit um, with

2095
01:10:19,379 --> 01:10:21,615
regard to the violations, about

2096
01:10:21,615 --> 01:10:22,883
chair of the violations are

2097
01:10:22,883 --> 01:10:24,883
preexisting nonconforming again

2098
01:10:25,285 --> 01:10:27,321
as the units do exist currently

2099
01:10:27,321 --> 01:10:29,756
and we are not proposing any

2100
01:10:29,756 --> 01:10:31,158
work outside of the scope or

2101
01:10:31,158 --> 01:10:34,158
the mass of the building.

2102
01:10:34,929 --> 01:10:36,163
Um, just to note the uh, um,

2103
01:10:36,163 --> 01:10:38,199
violations that would probably

2104
01:10:38,199 --> 01:10:39,767
be most interested in the board

2105
01:10:39,767 --> 01:10:41,602
would be the faa which

2106
01:10:41,602 --> 01:10:44,602
requirement is point eight and

2107
01:10:45,606 --> 01:10:47,606
we are proposing.16.

2108
01:10:48,409 --> 01:10:50,978
Um again it's a are existing

2109
01:10:50,978 --> 01:10:52,446

through the Office

2121
01:11:09,297 --> 01:11:11,132
of Neighborhood Services.

2122
01:11:11,132 --> 01:11:12,990
The applicant has completed a

2123
01:11:12,990 --> 01:11:13,535
community process which

2124
01:11:13,535 --> 01:11:15,169
consisted of an ombudsman

2125
01:11:15,169 --> 01:11:16,571
facilitated on MARCH 11th and

2126
01:11:16,571 --> 01:11:17,772
was lightly attended and a

2127
01:11:17,772 --> 01:11:18,539
voter expressed concerns

2128
01:11:18,539 --> 01:11:19,607
regarding the current

2129
01:11:19,607 --> 01:11:21,900
maintenance of the property,

2130
01:11:21,900 --> 01:11:22,243
noting that they thought the

2131
01:11:22,243 --> 01:11:23,245
property could do better could

2132
01:11:23,245 --> 01:11:25,113
be better maintained.

2133
01:11:25,113 --> 01:11:26,114
Additional concerns were raised

2134
01:11:26,114 --> 01:11:27,114
regarding the proposed

2135
01:11:27,114 --> 01:11:28,349
occupancy and whether eight

2136
01:11:28,349 --> 01:11:29,500
units would be excessive for

2137
01:11:29,500 --> 01:11:30,485
the property.

2138
01:11:30,485 --> 01:11:31,652
Parking and traffic congestion

2139
01:11:31,652 --> 01:11:32,921
were also concerns,

2140
01:11:32,921 --> 01:11:33,722
particularly given the number

2141
01:11:33,722 --> 01:11:35,123
of development projects

2142
01:11:35,123 --> 01:11:36,324
currently taking place in the

2143
01:11:36,324 --> 01:11:37,759
surrounding area and the

2144
01:11:37,759 --> 01:11:38,326
potential overall impact on the

2145
01:11:38,326 --> 01:11:39,494
neighborhood.

2146
01:11:39,494 --> 01:11:40,695
Next, the reporter was

2147
01:11:40,695 --> 01:11:42,960
encouraged to reach out to

2148
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:43,298
Roxbury Path forward for a few

2149
01:11:43,298 --> 01:11:44,699
inquiries were made and

2150
01:11:44,699 --> 01:11:46,334

get second.

2154
01:11:51,906 --> 01:11:52,908
It's there but also adding an

2155
01:11:52,908 --> 01:11:53,842
additional unit would

2156
01:11:53,842 --> 01:11:55,842
exacerbate that.

2157
01:11:56,478 --> 01:11:58,480
Tenants living off the property

2158
01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:00,490
loud noises after hours no

2159
01:12:00,490 --> 01:12:01,683
snow, trash or property

2160
01:12:01,683 --> 01:12:02,685
maintenance complaints that go

2161
01:12:02,685 --> 01:12:03,485
unaddressed without a no

2162
01:12:03,485 --> 01:12:04,920

Okay.

that, um, Banbury just had a

2180
01:12:38,687 --> 01:12:40,322
stroke or not.

2181
01:12:40,322 --> 01:12:42,124
MADAM CHAIRMAN of the board,

2182
01:12:42,124 --> 01:12:42,491

2183
01:12:42,491 --> 01:12:44,427
addressed.

2184
01:12:44,427 --> 01:12:45,661
They came up at the Abutters

2185
01:12:45,661 --> 01:12:47,496
meeting and subsequently we met

2186
01:12:47,496 --> 01:12:48,897

2193
01:12:59,909 --> 01:13:01,377
issues that were brought up by

2194
01:13:01,377 --> 01:13:03,980

01:13:15,992 --> 01:13:17,760
the front of the building and

2202
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:18,762

2204
01:13:19,329 --> 01:13:21,329

01:14:22,460 --> 01:14:23,494
Uh good morning, MADAM Chair

2239
01:14:23,494 --> 01:14:25,430
and members of the board.

2240
01:14:25,430 --> 01:14:27,231
Uh, my name is Edward Brooks

2241
01:14:27,231 --> 01:14:29,330
and on the property owner at

2242
01:14:29,330 --> 01:14:30,670
772 Adam Street and also the

2243
01:14:30,670 --> 01:14:32,503
owner and operator of the

2244
01:14:32,503 --> 01:14:33,470
business at 772 Adams Street

2245
01:14:33,470 --> 01:14:35,306
landmark public house.

2246
01:14:35,306 --> 01:14:36,341
I'm here today respectfully

2247
01:14:36,341 --> 01:14:37,575
requesting the board's approval

2248
01:14:37,575 --> 01:14:38,776
to continue operating our

2249
01:14:38,776 --> 01:14:40,411
outdoor patio at landmark

2250
01:14:40,411 --> 01:14:41,112
located on private land at the

2251
01:14:41,112 --> 01:14:42,714
rear of our building.

2252
01:14:42,714 --> 01:14:44,148
I think it's important for the

2253
01:14:44,148 --> 01:14:44,749
board to know that this patio

2254
01:14:44,749 --> 01:14:46,117
is not new.

2255
01:14:46,117 --> 01:14:47,585
We've been operating at

2256
01:14:47,585 --> 01:14:49,420
approximately for five years um

2257
01:14:49,420 --> 01:14:51,256
during Covid when outdoor

2258
01:14:51,256 --> 01:14:52,457
dining became an important part

2259
01:14:52,457 --> 01:14:54,125
of keeping restaurants

2260
01:14:54,125 --> 01:14:55,527
operating, we successfully

2261
01:14:55,527 --> 01:14:56,628
operated this patio for the

2262
01:14:56,628 --> 01:14:57,829
past five years without any

2263
01:14:57,829 --> 01:14:58,196
issues or problems with our

2264
01:14:58,196 --> 01:15:00,196
neighbors.

2265
01:15:00,732 --> 01:15:02,734
Um this year we went to applied

2266
01:15:02,734 --> 01:15:03,935
uh we were informed that we

2267
01:15:03,935 --> 01:15:05,170
needed to come before the

2268
01:15:05,170 --> 01:15:06,405
zoning board because the patio

2269
01:15:06,405 --> 01:15:07,772
was determined to be not uh,

2270
01:15:07,772 --> 01:15:09,474
non non conforming use.

2271
01:15:09,474 --> 01:15:10,442
Uh, since then I've worked

2272
01:15:10,442 --> 01:15:11,476
closely with the City

2273
01:15:11,476 --> 01:15:13,780
of Boston's outdoor dining

2274
01:15:13,780 --> 01:15:14,913
program led by Adam Lesko to

2275
01:15:14,913 --> 01:15:16,681
make sure we follow the proper

2276
01:15:16,681 --> 01:15:17,950
processes and uh, did

2277
01:15:17,950 --> 01:15:19,317
everything that was required to

2278
01:15:19,317 --> 01:15:20,485
get us to this point today

2279
01:15:20,485 --> 01:15:21,553
we've also gone through a

2280
01:15:21,553 --> 01:15:22,988
neighborhood process which I'm

2281
01:15:22,988 --> 01:15:25,230
very proud of support oversees

2282
01:15:25,230 --> 01:15:27,580
um, from uh our direct abutters

2283
01:15:27,580 --> 01:15:28,494
as well as uh mayor's Office

2284
01:15:28,494 --> 01:15:29,561
Neighborhood services and City

2285
01:15:29,561 --> 01:15:31,561
Councilor John Fitzgerald's

2286
01:15:31,963 --> 01:15:33,232
office landmarks that pop up a

2287
01:15:33,232 --> 01:15:34,666
part of this neighborhood for

2288
01:15:34,666 --> 01:15:35,330
ten years now and a responsible

2289
01:15:35,330 --> 01:15:36,535
neighbor.

2290
01:15:36,535 --> 01:15:37,202
And this patio is extremely

2291
01:15:37,202 --> 01:15:38,604
important to us.

2292
01:15:38,604 --> 01:15:40,205
It's simply an extension of our

2293
01:15:40,205 --> 01:15:41,840
existing restaurant and

2294
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:43,675
provides the customers with a

2295
01:15:43,675 --> 01:15:45,644
great outdoor dining option

2296
01:15:45,644 --> 01:15:47,450
when business is, uh, somewhat

2297
01:15:47,450 --> 01:15:49,248
tough in the summertime I

2298
01:15:49,248 --> 01:15:50,682
believe our five year track

2299
01:15:50,682 --> 01:15:51,851
record of operating the patio

2300
01:15:51,851 --> 01:15:53,719
without issue is the best

2301
01:15:53,719 --> 01:15:54,853
demonstration of um that this

2302
01:15:54,853 --> 01:15:56,222
works well at this location um,

2303
01:15:56,222 --> 01:15:57,690
we can coexist with the

2304
01:15:57,690 --> 01:15:59,910
surrounding neighborhood and I

2305
01:15:59,910 --> 01:16:00,693
respectfully ask that we be

2306
01:16:00,693 --> 01:16:01,193
granted the relief as needed by

2307
01:16:01,193 --> 01:16:02,261

01:16:02,261 --> 01:16:02,761
Um.

and 74 Regal Street as well as

2473
01:21:03,767 --> 01:21:04,350
five Waterloo Student High Park

2474
01:21:04,350 --> 01:21:06,350
.

2475
01:21:06,370 --> 01:21:07,805
Um, the zoning in this

2476
01:21:07,805 --> 01:21:08,105
neighborhood is two family

2477
01:21:08,105 --> 01:21:10,105
5000.

2478
01:21:10,507 --> 01:21:12,142
Uh, with me this morning is

2479
01:21:12,142 --> 01:21:12,709
Michael Bannon who is the owner

2480
01:21:12,709 --> 01:21:14,311
of the property.

2481
01:21:14,311 --> 01:21:15,546
Michael is a lifelong Hyde Park

2485
01:21:19,650 --> 01:21:21,650
Street.

2486
01:21:22,386 --> 01:21:23,788
Um, the proposal before you is

2487
01:21:23,788 --> 01:21:26,788
to combine the two existing

2488
01:21:27,858 --> 01:21:30,261
lots of 74 rebuilt street and

2489
01:21:30,261 --> 01:21:31,495
five Waterloo Street and then

2490
01:21:31,495 --> 01:21:31,763
subdivide those into three lots

2491
01:21:31,763 --> 01:21:33,763
.

2492
01:21:34,365 --> 01:21:36,801
Each of the new lots will be

2493
01:21:36,801 --> 01:21:38,801
approximately 4130ft2.

2494
01:21:39,604 --> 01:21:40,805
Uh, of these new lots the five

2495
01:21:40,805 --> 01:21:42,373
Waterloo two family home will

2496
01:21:42,373 --> 01:21:44,809
remain as it is with no work.

2497
01:21:44,809 --> 01:21:46,411
Um contemplated on that on the

2498
01:21:46,411 --> 01:21:48,246
other two new lots both would

2499
01:21:48,246 --> 01:21:49,847
you front rebuilt street two.

2500
01:21:49,847 --> 01:21:51,480
These new single family homes

2501
01:21:51,480 --> 01:21:52,850
will be constructed.

2502
01:21:52,850 --> 01:21:55,200
They will be addressed as 72

2503
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:56,454
and 74 rebuilt Street is a

2504
01:21:56,454 --> 01:21:58,423
small single family house.

2505
01:21:58,423 --> 01:21:59,524
Uh it's one bed one bath

2506
01:21:59,524 --> 01:22:00,580
currently there that will be

2507
01:22:00,580 --> 01:22:01,826
taken down.

2508
01:22:01,826 --> 01:22:03,161
Both of these new single

2509
01:22:03,161 --> 01:22:03,495
families will be two and a half

2510
01:22:03,495 --> 01:22:04,829
stories.

2511
01:22:04,829 --> 01:22:05,197
They will include four

2512
01:22:05,197 --> 01:22:07,131
bedrooms.

2513
01:22:07,131 --> 01:22:09,131
They are approximately 20

2514
01:22:09,134 --> 01:22:10,535
100ft2 each will have garage at

2515
01:22:10,535 --> 01:22:10,902

2516
01:22:10,902 --> 01:22:12,770
building.

2517
01:22:12,770 --> 01:22:13,806
These new homes will provide

2518
01:22:13,806 --> 01:22:15,207
homeownership, homeownership

2519
01:22:15,207 --> 01:22:16,809
opportunity to high park and

2520
01:22:16,809 --> 01:22:18,610
will also serve to improve and

2521
01:22:18,610 --> 01:22:20,211
better utilize this lot.

2522
01:22:20,211 --> 01:22:21,179
Happy to answer any questions.

2523
01:22:21,179 --> 01:22:22,681
Appreciate your time.

2524
01:22:22,681 --> 01:22:24,116
Thank you.

2525
01:22:24,116 --> 01:22:24,416
Are there questions from the

2526
01:22:24,416 --> 01:22:26,416
board?

2527
01:22:27,318 --> 01:22:27,786
Hearing none.

2528
01:22:27,786 --> 01:22:29,654
Mayor.

2529
01:22:29,654 --> 01:22:30,656
Public testimony MADAM Chair

2530
01:22:30,656 --> 01:22:31,957
and members of the board.

2531
01:22:31,957 --> 01:22:32,491
For the record my name is

2532
01:22:32,491 --> 01:22:33,892
Jeremy Bembry.

2533
01:22:33,892 --> 01:22:35,327
I am the Hyde Park Community

2534
01:22:35,327 --> 01:22:35,828
Engagement Specialist with

2535
01:22:35,828 --> 01:22:37,462
services.

2536
01:22:37,462 --> 01:22:38,464
The applicant has completed the

2537
01:22:38,464 --> 01:22:39,431
community process which

2538
01:22:39,431 --> 01:22:40,865
consisted of an about as

2539
01:22:40,865 --> 01:22:42,467
meeting facilitator on MAY 4th

2540
01:22:42,467 --> 01:22:43,468
during which the majority

2541
01:22:43,468 --> 01:22:44,470
of attendees expressed

2542
01:22:44,470 --> 01:22:46,505
opposition to the proposal.

2543
01:22:46,505 --> 01:22:48,574
Primary concern centered on the

2544
01:22:48,574 --> 01:22:50,609
scale of the project which MAY

2545
01:22:50,609 --> 01:22:51,810
which many felt was too large

2546
01:22:51,810 --> 01:22:53,211
for the lot and surrounding

2547
01:22:53,211 --> 01:22:54,480
area above it is also raise

2548
01:22:54,480 --> 01:22:55,715
significant concerns regarding

2549
01:22:55,715 --> 01:22:58,115
parking and traffic congestion

2550
01:22:58,150 --> 01:22:59,752
,noting existing vehicles

2551
01:22:59,752 --> 01:23:01,752
obstructing driveways

2552
01:23:01,788 --> 01:23:03,756
particularly near 72 and 74

2553
01:23:03,756 --> 01:23:04,990
refill making an egress

2554
01:23:04,990 --> 01:23:06,259
challenging the street was

2555
01:23:06,259 --> 01:23:07,860
described as already congested

2556
01:23:07,860 --> 01:23:09,270
and further impacted by the

2557
01:23:09,270 --> 01:23:10,896
designation as a bus route.

2558
01:23:10,896 --> 01:23:12,731
Additional concerns were raised

2559
01:23:12,731 --> 01:23:14,367
about the introduction of two

2560
01:23:14,367 --> 01:23:15,801
new driveways onto Revere

2561
01:23:15,801 --> 01:23:16,835
Street which in about a believe

2562
01:23:16,835 --> 01:23:18,700
would reduce available on

2563
01:23:18,700 --> 01:23:20,106
street parking and exacerbate

2564
01:23:20,106 --> 01:23:21,574
traffic conditions overall, the

2565
01:23:21,574 --> 01:23:22,541
proposal was viewed by several

2566
01:23:22,541 --> 01:23:23,609
attendees as an over

2567
01:23:23,609 --> 01:23:24,510
development of a relatively

2568
01:23:24,510 --> 01:23:26,146
small site.

2569
01:23:26,146 --> 01:23:27,547
One attendee expressed support

2570
01:23:27,547 --> 01:23:29,150
for the project, noting that it

2571
01:23:29,150 --> 01:23:30,216
presents a positive opportunity

2572
01:23:30,216 --> 01:23:31,851
to accommodate more families in

2573
01:23:31,851 --> 01:23:32,886
the neighborhood next to the

2574
01:23:32,886 --> 01:23:33,853
property presented to Redevelop

2575
01:23:33,853 --> 01:23:34,887
Watch, a neighborhood

2576
01:23:34,887 --> 01:23:36,256
association where we step

2577
01:23:36,256 --> 01:23:38,291
through Grace plate with a

2578
01:23:38,291 --> 01:23:40,327
third opposed to the entire

2579
01:23:40,327 --> 01:23:41,761
project, a third recommending a

2580
01:23:41,761 --> 01:23:43,963
duplex as opposed to two family

2581
01:23:43,963 --> 01:23:45,599
homes and a third okay with two

2582
01:23:45,599 --> 01:23:47,670
homes provide the curb cut off

2583
01:23:47,670 --> 01:23:48,635
reverse street the design would

2584
01:23:48,635 --> 01:23:49,836
need to be reworked to have the

2585
01:23:49,836 --> 01:23:51,700
curb cuts on Waterloo where

2586
01:23:51,700 --> 01:23:51,805
they currently are for access

2587
01:23:51,805 --> 01:23:53,373
to the property.

2588
01:23:53,373 --> 01:23:54,407
To date our office has just

2589
01:23:54,407 --> 01:23:54,641
received two letters of support

2590
01:23:54,641 --> 01:23:55,942
.

2591
01:23:55,942 --> 01:23:56,976
Thank you for your time and the

2592
01:23:56,976 --> 01:23:58,770
Mayor's Office of Papers says

2593
01:23:58,770 --> 01:23:58,679
we'd like to defer to the board

2594
01:23:58,679 --> 01:24:00,146
for their judgment.

2595
01:24:00,146 --> 01:24:02,146
Thank you.

2596
01:24:04,785 --> 01:24:05,652
Any other raised hands?

2597
01:24:05,652 --> 01:24:07,187
Yes.

2598
01:24:07,187 --> 01:24:09,523
Next we have Laura.

2599
01:24:09,523 --> 01:24:11,523
Good morning.

2600
01:24:11,725 --> 01:24:13,327
Uh, good morning, MADAM Chair

2601
01:24:13,327 --> 01:24:16,620
and members of the board.

2602
01:24:16,620 --> 01:24:19,499
My name is Laura a Sims.

2603
01:24:19,499 --> 01:24:22,499
I live at 75 Greenville Street

2604
01:24:22,936 --> 01:24:25,339
and Hyde Park directly across

2605
01:24:25,339 --> 01:24:25,872
from the proposed new

2606
01:24:25,872 --> 01:24:27,872
construction.

2607
01:24:29,510 --> 01:24:30,244
I oppose this construction

2608
01:24:30,244 --> 01:24:32,244
there mainly.

2609
01:24:33,447 --> 01:24:36,717
Um, I've lived here all my life

2610
01:24:36,717 --> 01:24:39,717
and this home construction, uh

2611
01:24:40,554 --> 01:24:41,889
,would be detrimental to the

2612
01:24:41,889 --> 01:24:43,889
Maple Street area.

2613
01:24:44,658 --> 01:24:46,493
Uh, we would lose parking on

2614
01:24:46,493 --> 01:24:49,493
the street for the residents

2615
01:24:50,980 --> 01:24:53,167
who do not have a driveway.

2616
01:24:53,167 --> 01:24:55,970
The curb cuts would be directly

2617
01:24:55,970 --> 01:24:58,970
across from my property at 75

2618
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:02,640
Greenville Street as well as

2619
01:25:02,643 --> 01:25:02,977
the property at 73 Riffle

2620
01:25:02,977 --> 01:25:04,977
Street.

2621
01:25:06,181 --> 01:25:08,850
This new construction is in a

2622
01:25:08,850 --> 01:25:11,652
corner lot of Greenville Street

2623
01:25:11,652 --> 01:25:13,688
and what a lose street so far

2624
01:25:13,688 --> 01:25:17,288
this summer there have been two

2625
01:25:17,558 --> 01:25:19,594
car accidents directly in front

2626
01:25:19,594 --> 01:25:20,561
of 74 Greenville Street and

2627
01:25:20,561 --> 01:25:22,561
Waterloo Street.

2628
01:25:23,965 --> 01:25:26,234
One was a car that was parked

2629
01:25:26,234 --> 01:25:29,234
on Greenville Street going the

2630
01:25:29,270 --> 01:25:31,673
wrong way parking and a car

2631
01:25:31,673 --> 01:25:34,142
rammed into his front end and

2632
01:25:34,142 --> 01:25:36,377
another was parked on Waterloo

2633
01:25:36,377 --> 01:25:38,147
Street in which a u-Haul truck

2634
01:25:38,147 --> 01:25:38,646
could not make the turn

2635
01:25:38,646 --> 01:25:40,646
correctly.

2636
01:25:41,249 --> 01:25:44,119
Greenville Street is a cut

2637
01:25:44,119 --> 01:25:46,870
through street to a state road.

2638
01:25:46,870 --> 01:25:47,220
The Box Valley Parkway is not

2639
01:25:47,220 --> 01:25:48,900
but new.

2640
01:25:48,900 --> 01:25:48,757
Yes.

2641
01:25:48,757 --> 01:25:50,757
Thank you.

2642
01:25:52,193 --> 01:25:54,263
Um two car accidents busses and

2643
01:25:54,263 --> 01:25:56,298
school busses use this property

2644
01:25:56,298 --> 01:25:58,634
and this street constantly.

2645
01:25:58,634 --> 01:25:59,802
We are opposed again thank you.

2646
01:25:59,802 --> 01:26:02,802
Thank you for your time.

2647
01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:06,274
Okay next week for the person

2649
01:26:08,744 --> 01:26:10,744
Yes.

2650
01:26:10,979 --> 01:26:13,979
Good morning that Craig Martin

2651
01:26:15,184 --> 01:26:16,585
a b Bill Hyde Park um it's just

2652
01:26:16,585 --> 01:26:18,387
not the practice and support to

2653
01:26:18,387 --> 01:26:20,787
take to appropriate site

2654
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:23,456
parcels combine subdivide into

2655
01:26:23,925 --> 01:26:25,794
three undersized parcels that

2656
01:26:25,794 --> 01:26:28,630
was suggested to the proponent

2657
01:26:28,630 --> 01:26:31,630
the neighborhood meeting but to

2658
01:26:31,467 --> 01:26:34,303
get closer to allow for a what

2659
01:26:34,303 --> 01:26:37,540
size let's do a nice duplex on

2660
01:26:37,540 --> 01:26:39,942
this so at the 7374 location so

2661
01:26:39,942 --> 01:26:42,145
the two single family home you

2662
01:26:42,145 --> 01:26:44,146
get the two units and you can

2663
01:26:44,146 --> 01:26:46,383
engineer to have one curb cut

2664
01:26:46,383 --> 01:26:48,818
to Regional Street that are the

2665
01:26:48,818 --> 01:26:51,530
two that accompany proposed

2666
01:26:51,530 --> 01:26:52,689
which would Sorento parking

2667
01:26:52,689 --> 01:26:55,910
spaces which are very limited

2668
01:26:55,910 --> 01:26:56,592
at this location in the prior

2669
01:26:56,592 --> 01:26:57,793
call it just said this is a cut

2670
01:26:57,793 --> 01:26:59,195
to the street to a state

2671
01:26:59,195 --> 01:26:59,528
roadway um to parts of Billy

2672
01:26:59,528 --> 01:27:01,528
Parkway.

2673
01:27:02,265 --> 01:27:03,699
Um and we should do the best we

2674
01:27:03,699 --> 01:27:04,634
can to maintain the street to

2675
01:27:04,634 --> 01:27:06,634
make it doable.

2676
01:27:08,505 --> 01:27:09,772
And so like I suggested that we

2677
01:27:09,772 --> 01:27:13,209
be against and this work I

2678
01:27:13,209 --> 01:27:14,444
approved of a duplex

2679
01:27:14,444 --> 01:27:17,470
development which will be more

2680
01:27:17,470 --> 01:27:18,648
open space and what and and

2681
01:27:18,648 --> 01:27:21,117
this is much more manageable

2682
01:27:21,117 --> 01:27:22,919
that this resident subdividing

2683
01:27:22,919 --> 01:27:25,919
this lot to three undersized

2684
01:27:26,956 --> 01:27:28,558
lot let's do it to two more but

2685
01:27:28,558 --> 01:27:30,561
not legal but at least closer

2686
01:27:30,561 --> 01:27:31,962
to legal and I think that's the

2687
01:27:31,962 --> 01:27:34,962
best interest um for the

2688
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:35,799
neighborhood more in harmony um

2689
01:27:35,799 --> 01:27:37,799
current construction.

2690
01:27:38,201 --> 01:27:40,601
Thank you, thank you.

2691
01:27:43,773 --> 01:27:46,173
Next we have Beth.

2692
01:27:48,412 --> 01:27:50,381
My name is Mary Beth Benson.

2693
01:27:50,381 --> 01:27:52,415
I live at 73 Revill Street

2694
01:27:52,415 --> 01:27:52,782
directly across from the, um,

2695
01:27:52,782 --> 01:27:54,782
property.

2696
01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:57,922
I while we feel that tearing

2697
01:27:57,922 --> 01:27:59,990
down the existing house and

2698
01:27:59,990 --> 01:28:01,325
building something new would be

2699
01:28:01,325 --> 01:28:04,528
an improvement to what is there

2700
01:28:04,528 --> 01:28:07,932
right now, we feel that the, um

2701
01:28:07,932 --> 01:28:10,134
plan to cram in as much um,

2702
01:28:10,134 --> 01:28:11,736
building on the um, two lots

2703
01:28:11,736 --> 01:28:14,105
and make it three lots out

2704
01:28:14,105 --> 01:28:15,506
of it is is not is excessive

2705
01:28:15,506 --> 01:28:16,507
and not in the best interests

2706
01:28:16,507 --> 01:28:18,342
of the community.

2707
01:28:18,342 --> 01:28:21,546
Um in addition to the driveways

2708
01:28:21,546 --> 01:28:22,513
and the this bus and the

2709
01:28:22,513 --> 01:28:24,148
traffic patterns on our

2710
01:28:24,148 --> 01:28:26,117
Renville Street, I just think

2711
01:28:26,117 --> 01:28:27,284
that it's um it doesn't do

2712
01:28:27,284 --> 01:28:29,153
anything to add to our

2713
01:28:29,153 --> 01:28:30,788
community of Greenville to have

2714
01:28:30,788 --> 01:28:31,155
two big houses crammed on that

2715
01:28:31,155 --> 01:28:33,155
property.

2716
01:28:35,926 --> 01:28:36,194
Thank you, thank you, thank

2717
01:28:36,194 --> 01:28:37,629
you.

2718
01:28:37,629 --> 01:28:38,960
Um, we have one more person.

2719
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:39,730
Jeremy.

2720
01:28:39,730 --> 01:28:41,730
Oh, hi.

2721
01:28:41,932 --> 01:28:43,735
Yes, uh, my name is Jeremy.

2722
01:28:43,735 --> 01:28:45,937
I live at 71 Reed Mill Street.

2723
01:28:45,937 --> 01:28:46,938
Um, I'm actually in favor

2724
01:28:46,938 --> 01:28:48,938
of this proposal.

2725
01:28:52,110 --> 01:28:54,112
Um, I'd like to say that, uh,

2726
01:28:54,112 --> 01:28:55,313
turning this lot into two

2727
01:28:55,313 --> 01:28:56,914
houses and tearing down the

2728
01:28:56,914 --> 01:28:58,950
existing one is only netting

2729
01:28:58,950 --> 01:29:01,920
the street positive one house.

2730
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:02,220
Um, so I think this is a great

2731
01:29:02,220 --> 01:29:03,955
idea.

2732
01:29:03,955 --> 01:29:05,189
Uh, be great for this, uh,

2733
01:29:05,189 --> 01:29:05,724
neighborhood to have two new

2734
01:29:05,724 --> 01:29:06,558
single families.

2735
01:29:06,558 --> 01:29:08,558
Uh.

2736
01:29:09,761 --> 01:29:11,430
Thank you, thank you, thank

2737
01:29:11,430 --> 01:29:12,430
you, MADAM Chair.

2738
01:29:12,430 --> 01:29:12,797
There are no additional

2739
01:29:12,797 --> 01:29:14,797
comments.

2740
01:29:16,401 --> 01:29:18,300
And the applicant addressed the

2741
01:29:18,300 --> 01:29:20,672
concerns about curb cuts or

2742
01:29:20,672 --> 01:29:23,750
loss of parking and supplies,

2743
01:29:23,750 --> 01:29:24,750
etc. That's to, uh first

2744
01:29:24,750 --> 01:29:25,277
of all, the current single

2745
01:29:25,277 --> 01:29:27,245
family that we are talking

2746
01:29:27,245 --> 01:29:29,810
about is is a one bed one bath

2747
01:29:29,810 --> 01:29:30,715
is a tiny little bungalow that

2748
01:29:30,715 --> 01:29:31,883
is not habitable for a family

2749
01:29:31,883 --> 01:29:32,217
or anybody more than 2 or 3

2750
01:29:32,217 --> 01:29:34,217
people.

2751
01:29:34,353 --> 01:29:35,788
We have to ask you parking

2752
01:29:35,788 --> 01:29:37,489
spaces with garage parking.

2753
01:29:37,489 --> 01:29:38,824
So when we did the community

2754
01:29:38,824 --> 01:29:39,691
minimum was talking about how

2755
01:29:39,691 --> 01:29:40,159
Revill street to heavily

2756
01:29:40,159 --> 01:29:41,126
traveled street.

2757
01:29:41,126 --> 01:29:41,460
It's not a heavily traveled

2758
01:29:41,460 --> 01:29:42,828
street.

2759
01:29:42,828 --> 01:29:43,162
You can look it up on your

2760
01:29:43,162 --> 01:29:44,930
tablet.

2761
01:29:44,930 --> 01:29:46,364
You'll see that it's basically

2762
01:29:46,364 --> 01:29:46,765
there's Park Street parking

2763
01:29:46,765 --> 01:29:47,800
everywhere.

2764
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:48,633
In addition to that we're

2765
01:29:48,633 --> 01:29:51,330
providing off street parking.

2766
01:29:52,238 --> 01:29:54,106
The um uh if you look at the

2767
01:29:54,106 --> 01:29:56,108
bpd recommendation for approval

2768
01:29:56,108 --> 01:29:57,143
it states clearly that is

2769
01:29:57,143 --> 01:29:58,544
consistent with the several

2770
01:29:58,544 --> 01:30:00,146
buildings on this lot has

2771
01:30:00,146 --> 01:30:02,314
several houses on the street

2772
01:30:02,314 --> 01:30:04,714
that are sub 5000ft.

2773
01:30:04,717 --> 01:30:06,552
Additionally we have a 16 unit

2774
01:30:06,552 --> 01:30:07,920
building basically to our left

2775
01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:11,156
if you were looking at the

2776
01:30:11,156 --> 01:30:12,391
building um and you know, if

2777
01:30:12,391 --> 01:30:14,427
there's any issue with respect

2778
01:30:14,427 --> 01:30:16,128
to access off of Revell Street

2779
01:30:16,128 --> 01:30:17,730
,I would just say that you

2780
01:30:17,730 --> 01:30:18,731
know, any sort of proviso to

2781
01:30:18,731 --> 01:30:19,799
continue working with the

2782
01:30:19,799 --> 01:30:21,834
Boston Planning Department with

2783
01:30:21,834 --> 01:30:23,135
respect to access would be um,

2784
01:30:23,135 --> 01:30:25,104
uh, warranted.

2785
01:30:25,104 --> 01:30:27,140
But in all like that last

2786
01:30:27,140 --> 01:30:28,575
gentleman stated you're

2787
01:30:28,575 --> 01:30:28,908
building two single family

2788
01:30:28,908 --> 01:30:30,242
houses.

2789
01:30:30,242 --> 01:30:31,110
You know we're not cramming

2790
01:30:31,110 --> 01:30:32,478
anything on the lot.

2791
01:30:32,478 --> 01:30:33,612
If you look at the what the

2792
01:30:33,612 --> 01:30:35,114
violations are we have a point

2793
01:30:35,114 --> 01:30:37,114
five fa requirement.

2794
01:30:37,250 --> 01:30:38,517
We are at a.52 that is

2795
01:30:38,517 --> 01:30:40,320
certainly not cramming anything

2796
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:41,588
onto the lot and again rely

2797
01:30:41,588 --> 01:30:44,190
back on the bpa recommendation.

2798
01:30:44,190 --> 01:30:45,224
We're in state that this is

2799
01:30:45,224 --> 01:30:46,192
extremely consistent and

2800
01:30:46,192 --> 01:30:48,280
recommends approval.

2801
01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:50,196
Happy to answer any questions

2802
01:30:50,196 --> 01:30:52,310
board man thank you.

2803
01:30:52,310 --> 01:30:54,431
Questions from the board.

2804
01:30:57,637 --> 01:30:58,706
Hearing none yeah oh okay.

2805
01:30:58,706 --> 01:31:00,706
Go.

2806
01:31:04,278 --> 01:31:04,811
Um, just um, kind of an

2807
01:31:04,811 --> 01:31:06,811
observation.

2808
01:31:07,814 --> 01:31:12,140
I do feel that, um, with the

2809
01:31:12,285 --> 01:31:13,287
amount of land, uh, the density

2810
01:31:13,287 --> 01:31:15,287
seems pretty appropriate.

2811
01:31:17,357 --> 01:31:20,394
Um, in terms of the size of the

2812
01:31:20,394 --> 01:31:22,794
two single family residence,

2813
01:31:23,697 --> 01:31:25,199
it's literally underneath 35ft

2814
01:31:25,199 --> 01:31:25,499
in height is two and a half

2815
01:31:25,499 --> 01:31:27,499
story.

2816
01:31:28,368 --> 01:31:28,902
The construction seems pretty

2817
01:31:28,902 --> 01:31:30,902
conventional.

2818
01:31:32,506 --> 01:31:34,675
Um, so I just wanted to

2819
01:31:34,675 --> 01:31:36,110
address, uh, is this the

2820
01:31:36,110 --> 01:31:37,411
appropriate type of density?

2821
01:31:37,411 --> 01:31:39,246
I think it is.

2822
01:31:39,246 --> 01:31:39,780
Uh, so it's just kind of some

2823
01:31:39,780 --> 01:31:41,780
observations.

2824
01:31:43,350 --> 01:31:44,551
Thank you, thank you.

2825
01:31:44,551 --> 01:31:44,918
Any other questions or

2826
01:31:44,918 --> 01:31:46,918
comments?

2827
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:52,560
No, I have a motion.

2828
01:31:52,994 --> 01:31:54,994
MADAM Chair.

2829
01:31:56,196 --> 01:31:58,399
I'm going to put forward a

2830
01:31:58,399 --> 01:32:00,368
motion of approval.

2831
01:32:00,368 --> 01:32:03,237
Um, and that the project

2832
01:32:03,237 --> 01:32:06,237
undergoes ppd design review to

2833
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:07,175
take a look uh, um, ways

2834
01:32:07,175 --> 01:32:09,175
of enhancing.

2835
01:32:12,413 --> 01:32:14,816
Um, access to car in terms

2836
01:32:14,816 --> 01:32:17,451
of the site planning, I do

2837
01:32:17,451 --> 01:32:18,853
believe that two separate

2838
01:32:18,853 --> 01:32:20,888
stories I mean two separate

2839
01:32:20,888 --> 01:32:22,957
structures is there is the

2840
01:32:22,957 --> 01:32:23,658
appropriate kind of urban use

2841
01:32:23,658 --> 01:32:25,658
of the lot.

2842
01:32:26,227 --> 01:32:31,270
Um, but I do think if there's a

2843
01:32:31,300 --> 01:32:32,467
way that the garage access and

2844
01:32:32,467 --> 01:32:35,467
site planning can just be

2845

01:39:09,404 --> 01:39:11,404
mechanicals.

3032
01:39:11,906 --> 01:39:13,741
Uh, the first floor will have a

3033
01:39:13,741 --> 01:39:15,576
garage at grade which will

3034
01:39:15,576 --> 01:39:17,178
contain two parking spaces as

3035
01:39:17,178 --> 01:39:18,212
well as living space which

3036
01:39:18,212 --> 01:39:20,612
includes the kitchen, living

3037
01:39:20,615 --> 01:39:22,383
room, dining area, a half bath

3038
01:39:22,383 --> 01:39:24,152
and a laundry area.

3039
01:39:24,152 --> 01:39:26,588
On the second floor will have

3040
01:39:26,588 --> 01:39:28,423
the primary bedroom and

3041
01:39:28,423 --> 01:39:30,920
bathroom suite located above

3042
01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:31,359
the garage and then towards the

3043
01:39:31,359 --> 01:39:32,594
rear of the proposed building

3044
01:39:32,594 --> 01:39:34,529
there'll be three additional

3045
01:39:34,529 --> 01:39:35,290
bedrooms as well as a uh

3046
01:39:35,290 --> 01:39:37,290
playroom.

3047
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:38,320
This project went through a

3048
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:39,701
community process which

3049
01:39:39,701 --> 01:39:41,102
included meeting with uh direct

3050
01:39:41,102 --> 01:39:42,637
abutters uh several times as

3051
01:39:42,637 --> 01:39:43,710
well as a formal official about

3052
01:39:43,710 --> 01:39:44,640
our meeting.

3053
01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:46,274
Uh we also presented twice

3054
01:39:46,274 --> 01:39:47,750
before the West Roxbury

3055
01:39:47,750 --> 01:39:49,750
Neighborhood Council.

3056
01:39:49,644 --> 01:39:51,460
Uh, we did implement some

3057
01:39:51,460 --> 01:39:52,280
changes to the project

3058
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:53,682
including that second parking

3059
01:39:53,682 --> 01:39:55,717
space as well as reducing the

3060
01:39:55,717 --> 01:39:57,118
overall size of the structure

3061
01:39:57,118 --> 01:39:58,860
which increased the side and

3062
01:39:58,860 --> 01:40:00,860
rear yard setbacks.

3063
01:40:00,890 --> 01:40:00,922
Uh, based on these changes, the

3064
01:40:00,922 --> 01:40:02,922
West Roxbury Neighborhood

3065
01:40:02,958 --> 01:40:05,260
Council did vote unanimously to

3066
01:40:05,260 --> 01:40:07,290
support the project but without

3067
01:40:07,290 --> 01:40:07,863
uh, pause and I'll be happy to

3068
01:40:07,863 --> 01:40:08,264
take any questions the board

3069
01:40:08,264 --> 01:40:09,331
MAY have.

3070
01:40:09,331 --> 01:40:10,665
Thank you.

3071
01:40:10,665 --> 01:40:12,368
Any questions from the board?

3072
01:40:12,368 --> 01:40:14,368
All right.

3073
01:40:19,410 --> 01:40:20,442
Um, I am curious as to why are

3074
01:40:20,442 --> 01:40:20,943
elevations missing of the

3075
01:40:20,943 --> 01:40:22,943
project?

3076
01:40:23,112 --> 01:40:25,314
Um, part of our job on the

3077
01:40:25,314 --> 01:40:27,549
zoning board is to review kind

3078
01:40:27,549 --> 01:40:29,170
of the character of the

3079
01:40:29,170 --> 01:40:31,417
proposed structure relative to

3080
01:40:31,620 --> 01:40:34,457
the neighboring context and I

3081
01:40:34,457 --> 01:40:36,692
find it, um, the application

3082
01:40:36,692 --> 01:40:40,292
of incomplete for me to even

3083
01:40:40,930 --> 01:40:42,531
begin to, um, provide feedback

3084
01:40:42,531 --> 01:40:45,134
in regards to whether I find it

3085
01:40:45,134 --> 01:40:45,568
to be appropriate to its

3086
01:40:45,568 --> 01:40:46,936
neighborhood.

3087
01:40:46,936 --> 01:40:48,936
Or.

3088
01:40:51,808 --> 01:40:52,750
Any other comments or questions

3089
01:40:52,750 --> 01:40:54,750
.

3090
01:40:56,680 --> 01:41:00,149
Do you want to respond to that

3091
01:41:00,149 --> 01:41:01,585
technical Toria, apologies for

3092
01:41:01,585 --> 01:41:03,753
any confusion or oversight.

3093
01:41:03,753 --> 01:41:05,121
Um, this is a proposed two

3094
01:41:05,121 --> 01:41:06,389
story structure.

3095
01:41:06,389 --> 01:41:08,391
The majority of the structures

3096
01:41:08,391 --> 01:41:10,427
along Cotuit are similar in two

3097
01:41:10,427 --> 01:41:11,661
stories with kind of a similar

3098
01:41:11,661 --> 01:41:13,262
um, you know, couple steps

3099
01:41:13,262 --> 01:41:13,797
entry, gradual entry into the

3100
01:41:13,797 --> 01:41:15,797
first floor.

3101
01:41:16,399 --> 01:41:17,433
i'm not sure exactly why those

3102
01:41:17,433 --> 01:41:18,680
elevations are not included

3103
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:20,680
within the set.

3104
01:41:20,436 --> 01:41:22,772
Um, but it is a fairly standard

3105
01:41:22,772 --> 01:41:23,907
two story building that, you

3106
01:41:23,907 --> 01:41:24,307
know, aligns with the current

3107
01:41:24,307 --> 01:41:26,307
streetscape.

3108
01:41:29,279 --> 01:41:29,646
You will that MAY have public

3109
01:41:29,646 --> 01:41:31,415
testimony.

3110
01:41:31,415 --> 01:41:32,816
MADAM Chair and board member

3111
01:41:32,816 --> 01:41:33,850
Sigi Johnson with the Office

3112
01:41:33,850 --> 01:41:35,850
of Neighborhood Services.

3113
01:41:35,850 --> 01:41:35,819
This petitioner completed the

3114
01:41:35,819 --> 01:41:37,200
community process.

3115
01:41:37,200 --> 01:41:38,956
Our office hosted an Abutters

3116
01:41:38,956 --> 01:41:40,570
meeting on APRIL 16th at which

3117
01:41:40,570 --> 01:41:41,570
there was some discussion but

3118
01:41:41,570 --> 01:41:42,492
no opposition was stated.

3119
01:41:42,492 --> 01:41:43,693
The West Roxbury Neighborhood

3120
01:41:43,693 --> 01:41:44,261
Council is supporting this

3121
01:41:44,261 --> 01:41:46,261
application.

3122
01:41:46,864 --> 01:41:48,131
With that background one has

3123
01:41:48,131 --> 01:41:48,632
deferred judgment to the board.

3124
01:41:48,632 --> 01:41:50,632
Thank you.

3125
01:41:51,535 --> 01:41:52,903
All right.

3126
01:41:52,903 --> 01:41:53,270
Um, we do have additional

3127
01:41:53,270 --> 01:41:55,270
comments.

3128
01:41:55,706 --> 01:41:57,706
Okay.

3129
01:41:58,241 --> 01:41:58,809
Any other questions or feedback

3130
01:41:58,809 --> 01:42:00,809
from the board?

3131
01:42:02,446 --> 01:42:02,712
I'm sure the project has merit

3132
01:42:02,712 --> 01:42:04,712
.

3133
01:42:05,516 --> 01:42:08,152
I would like to go forward that

3134
01:42:08,152 --> 01:42:10,354
the project be deferred to the

3135
01:42:10,354 --> 01:42:11,922
most to the next hearing until

3136
01:42:11,922 --> 01:42:12,623
we are able to see the project

3137
01:42:12,623 --> 01:42:14,623
and as for.

3138
01:42:16,293 --> 01:42:18,950
The second that my colleagues

3139
01:42:18,950 --> 01:42:21,950
might disagree with that no

3140
01:42:22,660 --> 01:42:23,901
I'll ask MADAM I don't think we

3141
01:42:23,901 --> 01:42:24,134
want to unnecessarily delay any

3142
01:42:24,134 --> 01:42:26,134
.

3143
01:42:26,170 --> 01:42:29,170
It's really important that we,

3144
01:42:29,774 --> 01:42:30,808
uh the patient make our

3145
01:42:30,808 --> 01:42:33,208
decisions that are pretty.

3146
01:42:35,846 --> 01:42:36,381
I also want to make a comment

3147
01:42:36,381 --> 01:42:37,482
about that.

3148
01:42:37,482 --> 01:42:38,283
I'm reviewing the

3149
01:42:38,283 --> 01:42:40,283
recommendation from the

3150
01:42:40,318 --> 01:42:42,718
planning department and that

3151
01:42:43,555 --> 01:42:47,155
that is a to about facilitation

3152
01:42:47,192 --> 01:42:48,159
to um elevations with what I

3153
01:42:48,159 --> 01:42:50,159
mean elevation.

3154
01:42:50,161 --> 01:42:51,963
So I I'm wondering if maybe

3155
01:42:51,963 --> 01:42:52,464
Jeff Hamilton chair can you

3156
01:42:52,464 --> 01:42:54,464
hear me?

3157
01:42:55,500 --> 01:42:56,901
Yes I yeah but I think Jovani I

3158
01:42:56,901 --> 01:42:58,170
think that sets of that

3159
01:42:58,170 --> 01:43:00,500
precedent because we're going

3160
01:43:00,500 --> 01:43:01,239
to be always getting incomplete

3161
01:43:01,239 --> 01:43:02,307
drawings in front of the board

3162
01:43:02,307 --> 01:43:02,607
and it's a lot of it.

3163
01:43:02,607 --> 01:43:03,800
Yeah.

3164
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:03,508
I'm sorry.

3165
01:43:03,508 --> 01:43:04,208
Go ahead.

3166
01:43:04,208 --> 01:43:05,978
It's fine.

3167
01:43:05,978 --> 01:43:06,477
I love to hear from you, MR.

3168
01:43:06,477 --> 01:43:08,477
Hampton.

3169
01:43:08,713 --> 01:43:10,682
So our recommendation was based

3170
01:43:10,682 --> 01:43:13,118
on the fact that it was a one

3171
01:43:13,118 --> 01:43:13,919
family right to one family and

3172
01:43:13,919 --> 01:43:15,919
one family district.

3173
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:18,890
We we went back and forth here

3174
01:43:18,890 --> 01:43:21,193
uh, in the department and I

3175
01:43:21,193 --> 01:43:22,994
would completely understand and

3176
01:43:22,994 --> 01:43:24,663
agree with you if you want to

3177
01:43:24,663 --> 01:43:26,899
defer this to see, uh, the

3178
01:43:26,899 --> 01:43:29,301
elevations but because it was a

3179
01:43:29,301 --> 01:43:31,336
one family um, that's why we

3180
01:43:31,336 --> 01:43:31,837
put that uh, specific proviso

3181
01:43:31,837 --> 01:43:33,837
in there.

3182
01:43:36,875 --> 01:43:40,112
Uh, but I I will agree with you

3183
01:43:40,112 --> 01:43:41,681
that it's rare that we never

3184
01:43:41,681 --> 01:43:43,681
see elevations.

3185
01:43:44,684 --> 01:43:46,218
Um, so that's I just wanted to

3186
01:43:46,218 --> 01:43:47,253
explain why we put it in there

3187
01:43:47,253 --> 01:43:48,554
because it was a one family.

3188
01:43:48,554 --> 01:43:49,688
Thank you.

3189
01:43:49,688 --> 01:43:51,688
That is helpful.

3190
01:43:51,991 --> 01:43:52,391
Okay, so there is a motion and

3191
01:43:52,391 --> 01:43:54,391
a second.

3192
01:43:54,794 --> 01:43:56,495
Uh, I will proceed and you

3193
01:43:56,495 --> 01:43:59,331
know, you can decide if, uh, uh

3194
01:43:59,331 --> 01:44:01,670
,the recommendation from ppd

3195
01:44:01,670 --> 01:44:03,135
stands or you want a deferral.

3196
01:44:03,135 --> 01:44:03,602
Uh, MADAM, I think there was a

3197
01:44:03,602 --> 01:44:04,670
motion forward.

3198
01:44:04,670 --> 01:44:05,700
I was just printing an

3199
01:44:05,700 --> 01:44:05,672
observation.

3200
01:44:05,672 --> 01:44:06,872
Oh.

3201
01:44:06,872 --> 01:44:07,206
i'm sorry, I thought that was a

3202
01:44:07,206 --> 01:44:09,141
motion.

3203
01:44:09,141 --> 01:44:10,276
Okay, well, let's try again.

3204
01:44:10,276 --> 01:44:12,676
Is there a motion?

3205
01:44:13,446 --> 01:44:14,280
I would like to.

3206
01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:15,715
Um.

3207
01:44:15,715 --> 01:44:17,490
MADAM Chair, I'd like to call

3208
01:44:17,490 --> 01:44:18,851
for a motion to defer the

3209
01:44:18,851 --> 01:44:20,453
project to, um, the next

3210
01:44:20,453 --> 01:44:22,550
hearing, uh, so that we can

3211
01:44:22,550 --> 01:44:23,389
review the project as a whole.

3212
01:44:23,389 --> 01:44:24,890
Is there a second?

3213
01:44:24,890 --> 01:44:26,890
Second?

3214
01:44:27,794 --> 01:44:29,794
Okay, MR. Stonebridge?

3215
01:44:31,898 --> 01:44:33,898
Yes.

3216
01:44:38,400 --> 01:44:38,872
MR. Valencia yes, MISS Turner?

3217
01:44:38,872 --> 01:44:40,872
Yes.

3218
01:44:40,973 --> 01:44:41,441
Is better.

Um, uh, thank you for having us

3266
01:46:09,830 --> 01:46:11,830
here this morning.

3267
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:14,636
Uh, 24 Simpson Street, lot size

3268
01:46:14,636 --> 01:46:15,670
20,097ft2 zoning.

3269
01:46:15,670 --> 01:46:17,670
It's neighborhood shopping.

3270
01:46:18,273 --> 01:46:19,707
Um, originally it was a three

3271
01:46:19,707 --> 01:46:21,707
storey condominium building

3272
01:46:21,943 --> 01:46:23,344
with 13 residential units and a

3273
01:46:23,344 --> 01:46:24,946
first floor with 21 free

3274
01:46:24,946 --> 01:46:25,647
parking spaces and a first

3275
01:46:25,647 --> 01:46:27,248
floor commercial space.

3276
01:46:27,248 --> 01:46:29,283
It was designated as a daycare

3277
01:46:29,283 --> 01:46:30,485
center as it went forward, the

3278
01:46:30,485 --> 01:46:33,121
daycare center pulled out and

3279
01:46:33,121 --> 01:46:34,756
the lender uh was concerned

3280
01:46:34,756 --> 01:46:36,591
because uh this area Stimpson

3281
01:46:36,591 --> 01:46:38,193
Streets kind of really not a

3282
01:46:38,193 --> 01:46:38,726
business district it's more

3283
01:46:38,726 --> 01:46:40,228
residential.

3284
01:46:40,228 --> 01:46:41,630
We're kind of on the the edge

3285
01:46:41,630 --> 01:46:43,465
of the residential and they

3286
01:46:43,465 --> 01:46:44,666
thought it would be um make

3287
01:46:44,666 --> 01:46:44,967
more sense as a residential

3288
01:46:44,967 --> 01:46:46,869
unit.

3289
01:46:46,869 --> 01:46:49,304
Uh, the plans were uh,

3290
01:46:49,304 --> 01:46:51,139
submitted to I-s-d uh again uh,

3291
01:46:51,139 --> 01:46:52,341
to convert the first floor

3292
01:46:52,341 --> 01:46:54,741
commercial into a residential

3293
01:46:54,776 --> 01:46:55,243
space of a two bed two bath uh

3294
01:46:55,243 --> 01:46:57,243
unit.

3295
01:46:57,412 --> 01:46:57,846
Um, it satisfies the parking

3296
01:46:57,846 --> 01:46:59,248
requirements.

3297
01:46:59,248 --> 01:47:00,482
However, as you all know, uh,

3298
01:47:00,482 --> 01:47:01,884
in a neighborhood shopping

3299
01:47:01,884 --> 01:47:02,885
district, uh, residential on

3300
01:47:02,885 --> 01:47:03,285
the first floor is a

3301
01:47:03,285 --> 01:47:05,120
commercial.

3302
01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:05,387
Uh uh excuse me conditional use

3303
01:47:05,387 --> 01:47:07,256
.

3304
01:47:07,256 --> 01:47:08,357
Uh, the neighbor when we went

3305
01:47:08,357 --> 01:47:09,491
to the community meeting as

3306
01:47:09,491 --> 01:47:10,926
well as the West Rashmi

3307
01:47:10,926 --> 01:47:12,528
Neighborhood Council, the

3308
01:47:12,528 --> 01:47:13,528
neighborhood was very

3309
01:47:13,528 --> 01:47:15,364
supportive with that because

3310
01:47:15,364 --> 01:47:17,967
you can imagine, uh, a single

3311
01:47:17,967 --> 01:47:19,568
family or a single unit, um,

3312
01:47:19,568 --> 01:47:21,604
you know, two bedroom, uh,

3313
01:47:21,604 --> 01:47:22,571
condominium unit would be a lot

3314
01:47:22,571 --> 01:47:24,700
less traffic in the

3315
01:47:24,700 --> 01:47:26,410
neighborhood than, you know, to

3316
01:47:26,410 --> 01:47:27,643
say 15 children in the morning,

3317
01:47:27,643 --> 01:47:29,643
50 parents dropping off,

3318
01:47:29,678 --> 01:47:30,880
picking up whatever, leaving,

3319
01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:31,213
coming back, picking up and

3320
01:47:31,213 --> 01:47:33,182
leaving.

3321
01:47:33,182 --> 01:47:34,317
Um, and then when we presented

3322
01:47:34,317 --> 01:47:35,618
to the West Rashmi Neighborhood

3323
01:47:35,618 --> 01:47:36,753
Council because it was just a

3324
01:47:36,753 --> 01:47:38,187
change of use and it made sense

3325
01:47:38,187 --> 01:47:38,754
to them, we received their

3326
01:47:38,754 --> 01:47:40,323
unanimous support.

3327
01:47:40,323 --> 01:47:43,590
Happy to answer any questions.

3328
01:47:43,590 --> 01:47:44,660
Thank you.

3329
01:47:44,660 --> 01:47:45,940
Are there any questions from

3330
01:47:45,940 --> 01:47:47,940
the board?

3331
01:47:48,231 --> 01:47:49,866
Hearing none.

3332
01:47:49,866 --> 01:47:51,267

made supporting the concept.

3427
01:51:07,990 --> 01:51:08,501
Some Abutters raised concerns

3428
01:51:08,501 --> 01:51:10,102
about traffic in the area

3429
01:51:10,102 --> 01:51:11,737
caused by other food pickup

3430
01:51:11,737 --> 01:51:13,172
businesses, concern about

3431
01:51:13,172 --> 01:51:14,574
whether mitigation is needed

3432
01:51:14,574 --> 01:51:16,342
due to the former use of this

3433
01:51:16,342 --> 01:51:17,610
site as a dry cleaner and a

3434
01:51:17,610 --> 01:51:19,478
concern about the possibility

3435
01:51:19,478 --> 01:51:19,979
of street tables congesting the

3436
01:51:19,979 --> 01:51:21,581
sidewalk.

3437
01:51:21,581 --> 01:51:22,615

3438
01:51:22,615 --> 01:51:24,500

Point Neighborhood Association

3454
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:51,440
.

3455
01:51:51,440 --> 01:51:52,646
This is exactly the type

3456
01:51:52,646 --> 01:51:53,213
of business that we want in our

3457
01:51:53,213 --> 01:51:55,213
neighborhood.

3458
01:51:55,582 --> 01:51:56,349
Um, it's something for

3459
01:51:56,349 --> 01:51:58,151
everybody all ages.

3460
01:51:58,151 --> 01:52:00,551
It doesn't contain alcohol.

3461
01:52:01,722 --> 01:52:03,356
Um, the seating on the

3462
01:52:03,356 --> 01:52:03,657
sidewalk, um, was taken off the

3463
01:52:03,657 --> 01:52:05,657
table.

3464
01:52:06,226 --> 01:52:07,194
So the owner committed to no

3465
01:52:07,194 --> 01:52:09,194
outdoor seating.

3466
01:52:10,197 --> 01:52:13,233
And in so far as parking this

3467
01:52:13,233 --> 01:52:14,668
is on the l Street corridor and

3468
01:52:14,668 --> 01:52:16,270
there are more businesses in

3469
01:52:16,270 --> 01:52:18,710
this particular section.

3470
01:52:18,710 --> 01:52:19,307
Uh, because it's very close to

3471
01:52:19,307 --> 01:52:19,807
our business district of East

3472
01:52:19,807 --> 01:52:21,807
Broadway.

3473
01:52:21,875 --> 01:52:23,911
So this is a perfect, uh,

3474
01:52:23,911 --> 01:52:26,547
business for the community and

3475
01:52:26,547 --> 01:52:27,548
we fully support this type of,

3476
01:52:27,548 --> 01:52:27,982
um, establishment in our

3477
01:52:27,982 --> 01:52:28,515

My name is George Morante.

I represent the petitioner,

3513
01:53:49,398 --> 01:53:52,234
David Winnick, the owner and

3514
01:53:52,234 --> 01:53:52,735

3515
01:53:52,735 --> 01:53:54,735

3516
01:53:55,371 --> 01:53:57,372
This property is located one

3517
01:53:57,372 --> 01:53:57,739
block northeast of West

3518
01:53:57,739 --> 01:53:59,410
Broadway.

3519
01:53:59,410 --> 01:54:00,475
It is currently used as

3520
01:54:00,475 --> 01:54:00,775
employee parking for a local

3521
01:54:00,775 --> 01:54:02,775
bank.

3522
01:54:03,378 --> 01:54:05,580
My client proposes to legally

3523
01:54:05,580 --> 01:54:07,160
combine the two parcels

3524
01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:09,885
constituting the site into a

3525
01:54:09,885 --> 01:54:12,285
single site of approximately

3526
01:54:13,880 --> 01:54:14,924
4325ft square feet and to

3527
01:54:14,924 --> 01:54:16,592
replace the existing surface

3528
01:54:16,592 --> 01:54:18,594
parking with the four story six

3529
01:54:18,594 --> 01:54:20,262
unit building there would be

3530
01:54:20,262 --> 01:54:23,262
three two bedroom units ranging

3531
01:54:25,534 --> 01:54:28,204
in size from 980ft2, 2044ft2

3532
01:54:28,204 --> 01:54:31,204
and three three bedroom units

3533
01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:33,342

1600 and 60ft2.

3535
01:54:35,511 --> 01:54:37,112
The surrounding area is

3536
01:54:37,112 --> 01:54:38,548
developed with a number

3537
01:54:38,548 --> 01:54:40,583
of parking lots serving West

3538
01:54:40,583 --> 01:54:42,170
Broadway commercial uses as

3539
01:54:42,170 --> 01:54:43,819
well as numerous dwelling

3540
01:54:43,819 --> 01:54:46,550
buildings ranging from 2 to 4

3541
01:54:46,550 --> 01:54:48,124

01:54:48,124 --> 01:54:49,726
use building located directly

3543
01:54:49,726 --> 01:54:50,260
across Athens Street from the

3544
01:54:50,260 --> 01:54:52,260
site.

3545
01:54:52,395 --> 01:54:54,664
As to zoning, the proposed

3546
01:54:54,664 --> 01:54:56,533
project requires variances for

3547
01:54:56,533 --> 01:54:58,768
insufficient site in rear yard

3548
01:54:58,768 --> 01:55:01,168
setbacks, insufficient lot area

3549
01:55:01,204 --> 01:55:03,604
and insufficient parking with

3550
01:55:04,730 --> 01:55:05,675
respect to setbacks, the mfr

3551
01:55:05,675 --> 01:55:08,750
subdistrict here requires a

3552
01:55:08,145 --> 01:55:09,746

15ft pursuant to the provisions

3556
01:55:15,485 --> 01:55:17,921

01:55:17,921 --> 01:55:19,723

The left side setback is

3563
01:55:28,531 --> 01:55:30,167

01:56:26,391 --> 01:56:28,826
lot sizes in the neighborhood

3595
01:56:28,826 --> 01:56:30,394
ranging or averaging about

3596
01:56:30,394 --> 01:56:30,995
2000ft2 as the planning

3597
01:56:30,995 --> 01:56:32,995
recommendation notes.

3598
01:56:33,300 --> 01:56:34,399
Finally, with respect to

3599
01:56:34,399 --> 01:56:35,433
parking, uh, there are two

3600
01:56:35,433 --> 01:56:37,201
violations arising under

3601
01:56:37,201 --> 01:56:39,201
article 68 section 22.

3602
01:56:40,500 --> 01:56:42,407
First, the uh project will

3603
01:56:42,407 --> 01:56:43,608
provide uh six ground floor

3604
01:56:43,608 --> 01:56:45,277
parking spaces beneath the

3605
01:56:45,277 --> 01:56:47,677
residential units three fewer

3606
01:56:49,514 --> 01:56:50,715
than required and a second, um,

3607
01:56:50,715 --> 01:56:52,717
violation with respect to

3608
01:56:52,717 --> 01:56:55,320
parking is that each space is

3609
01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:57,880
proposed at nine by 18ft, which

3610
01:56:57,880 --> 01:56:58,357
is less than the 20 foot

3611
01:56:58,357 --> 01:57:00,757
standard depth required under

3612
01:57:01,159 --> 01:57:02,927
section 33 uh, which permits up

3613
01:57:02,927 --> 01:57:04,329
to 50% of the spaces to be

3614
01:57:04,329 --> 01:57:06,965
built as compact here the

3615
01:57:06,965 --> 01:57:08,834
proposed design and parking

3616
01:57:08,834 --> 01:57:10,340
counter calibrated to allow for

3617
01:57:10,340 --> 01:57:11,870
new housing creation with

3618
01:57:11,870 --> 01:57:14,440
adequate off street parking uh

3619
01:57:14,440 --> 01:57:16,241
in this case set at 1 to 1

3620
01:57:16,241 --> 01:57:18,510
which conforms with city

3621
01:57:18,510 --> 01:57:19,911
residential parking policy and

3622
01:57:19,911 --> 01:57:22,514
I would even suggest with the

3623
01:57:22,514 --> 01:57:24,550
um uh with the desires of this

3624
01:57:24,550 --> 01:57:26,418
board in terms of previous

3625
01:57:26,418 --> 01:57:28,287

Uh, this property is a six

3720
02:01:01,403 --> 02:01:02,805
unit, uh, townhouse condominium

3721
02:01:02,805 --> 02:01:03,772
that was approved by this board

3722
02:01:03,772 --> 02:01:05,140
about three years ago.

3723
02:01:05,140 --> 02:01:06,341
Um, I represent the owner

3724
02:01:06,341 --> 02:01:06,641

3725
02:01:06,641 --> 02:01:08,641

3726
02:01:09,778 --> 02:01:10,279
Um, the it shows a, uh, roof

3727
02:01:10,279 --> 02:01:12,810
deck.

3728
02:01:12,810 --> 02:01:13,316
Um, we are seeking relief, uh,

3729
02:01:13,316 --> 02:01:14,516
for a variance for excessive

3730
02:01:14,516 --> 02:01:16,351
building height which this

3731
02:01:16,351 --> 02:01:17,586
board has previously granted

3732
02:01:17,586 --> 02:01:18,721
and a conditional use permit

3733
02:01:18,721 --> 02:01:20,522
for the roof deck.

3734
02:01:20,522 --> 02:01:21,924
As you can see from the plans,

3735
02:01:21,924 --> 02:01:24,930
this is an existing roof hatch.

3736
02:01:24,930 --> 02:01:26,462
Uh, the deck is proposed here.

3737
02:01:26,462 --> 02:01:28,531
Um, there are no rear

3738
02:01:28,531 --> 02:01:29,231
staircases or any other access

3739
02:01:29,231 --> 02:01:30,833
to the roof.

3740
02:01:30,833 --> 02:01:32,868
It's exclusive news to the unit

3741
02:01:32,868 --> 02:01:34,690
owners used by the two people

3742
02:01:34,690 --> 02:01:36,806
that live there right now.

3743
02:01:36,806 --> 02:01:38,207
Um, it's we will not be shared.

3744
02:01:38,207 --> 02:01:38,507
As I said, it's not a common

3745
02:01:38,507 --> 02:01:40,420
deck.

3746
02:01:40,420 --> 02:01:41,877
Um, it will provide valuable

3747
02:01:41,877 --> 02:01:43,546
open space to the homeowners.

3748
02:01:43,546 --> 02:01:44,800
Uh, just it's a rather it's not

3749
02:01:44,800 --> 02:01:46,800
a large deck.

3750
02:01:46,249 --> 02:01:48,118
It's ten ten feet wide by 16

3751
02:01:48,118 --> 02:01:50,754
not including the walkway right

3752
02:01:50,754 --> 02:01:52,255
here and it's setback, uh, from

3753
02:01:52,255 --> 02:01:53,222
Broadway about five feet, as

3754
02:01:53,222 --> 02:01:53,623
you can see from the

3755
02:01:53,623 --> 02:01:55,240
dimensions.

3756
02:01:55,240 --> 02:01:55,692
And on this side it's setback a

3757
02:01:55,692 --> 02:01:57,693
little over a foot.

3758
02:01:57,693 --> 02:01:59,662
Um, as shown on the plans.

3759
02:01:59,662 --> 02:02:01,298
Uh, as I said, we're seeking,

3760
02:02:01,298 --> 02:02:02,632
uh, a variance as well as a

3761
02:02:02,632 --> 02:02:02,966
conditional use permit for the

3762
02:02:02,966 --> 02:02:04,668
project.

3763
02:02:04,668 --> 02:02:06,302
Uh, we are aware of the

3764
02:02:06,302 --> 02:02:07,770

well as, uh, to add a guardrail

3767
02:02:11,207 --> 02:02:12,542
.

3768
02:02:12,542 --> 02:02:14,544
The setback a little closer to

3769
02:02:14,544 --> 02:02:16,779
the deck and, uh, project

3770
02:02:16,779 --> 02:02:18,148
architect is committed to, uh,

3771
02:02:18,148 --> 02:02:20,350
when he if approved.

3772
02:02:20,350 --> 02:02:21,984
I'm sorry for submitting uh,

3773
02:02:21,984 --> 02:02:24,587

3774
02:02:24,587 --> 02:02:26,256

3776
02:02:27,424 --> 02:02:29,824
of the zoning code.

3777
02:02:30,427 --> 02:02:32,228
Um, with that, uh, I will open

3778
02:02:32,228 --> 02:02:32,763
it up to any questions the

3779
02:02:32,763 --> 02:02:34,763
board MAY have.

3780
02:02:37,601 --> 02:02:37,901
Are there questions from the

3781
02:02:37,901 --> 02:02:39,901

3782
02:02:40,638 --> 02:02:41,171
Hearing?

3789
02:02:48,112 --> 02:02:49,880
community process.

3790
02:02:49,880 --> 02:02:51,515
Our office hosted an Abutters

3792
02:02:52,716 --> 02:02:54,185

3793
02:02:54,185 --> 02:02:55,786
opposed to the application due

3794
02:02:55,786 --> 02:02:57,254
to quality of life concerns

3795
02:02:57,254 --> 02:02:58,455
negative have a neighborhood

3796
02:02:58,455 --> 02:03:00,910
association does not support

3797
02:03:00,910 --> 02:03:01,725

3798
02:03:01,725 --> 02:03:03,494
area with that background on us

02:03:03,494 --> 02:03:03,961
defers judgment to the board.

Thank you.

3804
02:03:12,470 --> 02:03:14,538
My name is Ashley and Councilor

3805
02:03:14,538 --> 02:03:15,973
Flynn's office over the weekend

3806
02:03:15,973 --> 02:03:17,742
Councilor Flynn sent a letter

3807
02:03:17,742 --> 02:03:19,710
to the cpa in the city

3808
02:03:19,710 --> 02:03:21,913
requesting a deferral due to,

3809
02:03:21,913 --> 02:03:23,514
uh, no Abutters meeting or

3810
02:03:23,514 --> 02:03:24,516
community process in recent

3811
02:03:24,516 --> 02:03:26,150
weeks, the city informed

3812
02:03:26,150 --> 02:03:27,618
Councilor Flynn's office that

3813
02:03:27,618 --> 02:03:29,200
the Office of Neighborhood

3814
02:03:29,200 --> 02:03:30,488
Services will now decide what

3815
02:03:30,488 --> 02:03:31,923
requires community process with

3816
02:03:31,923 --> 02:03:33,724
the Abutters meeting and what

3817
02:03:33,724 --> 02:03:35,393
is not respectfully with the

3818
02:03:35,393 --> 02:03:37,793
presence of zoning violations

3819
02:03:38,290 --> 02:03:39,230
and article 68 updated as

3820
02:03:39,230 --> 02:03:40,431
of 2019, Councilor Flynn

3821
02:03:40,431 --> 02:03:41,599
believes owners should not be

3822
02:03:41,599 --> 02:03:42,667
making subjective

3823
02:03:42,667 --> 02:03:43,835
determinations on what deserves

3824
02:03:43,835 --> 02:03:45,360
public process for his

3825
02:03:45,360 --> 02:03:45,570
neighbors and taxpaying

3826
02:03:45,570 --> 02:03:47,570
residents.

3827
02:03:47,605 --> 02:03:48,840
Similarly, this past spring the

3828
02:03:48,840 --> 02:03:50,675
city disregarded the concerns

3829
02:03:50,675 --> 02:03:52,760
of City Point residents and

3830
02:03:52,760 --> 02:03:53,450
Councilor Flynn on having an

3831
02:03:53,450 --> 02:03:54,612
abutters meeting.

3832
02:03:54,612 --> 02:03:55,847
The zba both deferred and

3833
02:03:55,847 --> 02:03:57,480
denied that project over the

3834
02:03:57,480 --> 02:03:58,183
course of two hearings due to

3835
02:03:58,183 --> 02:03:59,351
the very same issues

3836
02:03:59,351 --> 02:04:00,752
of community process.

3837
02:04:00,752 --> 02:04:02,153
This is not about Councilor

3838
02:04:02,153 --> 02:04:03,788
Flynn's concerns on roof decks

3839
02:04:03,788 --> 02:04:05,857
it's about what's always been

3840
02:04:05,857 --> 02:04:07,492
traditionally shared values are

3841
02:04:07,492 --> 02:04:09,940
respect for transparency,

3842
02:04:09,940 --> 02:04:10,562
public process and residents

3843
02:04:10,562 --> 02:04:11,797
of a neighborhood serving

3844
02:04:11,797 --> 02:04:13,431
of say what takes place there.

3845
02:04:13,431 --> 02:04:15,700
Councilor firm will be filing

3846
02:04:15,700 --> 02:04:16,935
legislation to require abutters

3847
02:04:16,935 --> 02:04:18,537
meetings for all proposals

3848
02:04:18,537 --> 02:04:19,972
seeking zoning relief so that

3849
02:04:19,972 --> 02:04:20,806
neighbors are able to provide

3850
02:04:20,806 --> 02:04:22,441
feedback to the city.

3851
02:04:22,441 --> 02:04:24,420
He believes we cannot leave the

3852
02:04:24,420 --> 02:04:25,544
door open for human error or

3853
02:04:25,544 --> 02:04:27,379
questions regarding whether all

3854
02:04:27,379 --> 02:04:29,415
proposals are being held to the

3855
02:04:29,415 --> 02:04:29,682
same standard thank you, thank

3856
02:04:29,682 --> 02:04:31,682
you.

3857
02:04:33,752 --> 02:04:36,752
Uh MADAM Chair, an additional

3858
02:04:36,988 --> 02:04:39,988
comment and someone from Owens

3859
02:04:40,192 --> 02:04:41,826
respond to the uh yes MADAM

3860
02:04:41,826 --> 02:04:43,495
Chair, I'm somewhat confused by

3861
02:04:43,495 --> 02:04:44,730
the commentary as an Abutters

3862
02:04:44,730 --> 02:04:47,132
meeting was hosted which was

3863
02:04:47,132 --> 02:04:48,567
attended by myself and the

3864
02:04:48,567 --> 02:04:50,403
petitioners attorney at which

3865
02:04:50,403 --> 02:04:51,137
the proposal was discussed with

3866
02:04:51,137 --> 02:04:52,738
the community.

3867
02:04:52,738 --> 02:04:53,939
I'm not sure if the testimony

3868
02:04:53,939 --> 02:04:56,743
was intended for a different

3869
02:04:56,743 --> 02:04:58,710
case or I would also like to

3870
02:04:58,710 --> 02:05:00,279
add um MADAM Chair, when we

3871
02:05:00,279 --> 02:05:02,315
have an email and a letter from

3872
02:05:02,315 --> 02:05:04,349
the Civic Association who

3873
02:05:04,349 --> 02:05:05,318
declined to have a meeting on

3874
02:05:05,318 --> 02:05:07,318
this particular project.

3875
02:05:07,520 --> 02:05:08,721
So in accordance with the uh

3876
02:05:08,721 --> 02:05:09,955
current practices of the

3877
02:05:09,955 --> 02:05:11,791
mayor's office, we did complete

3878
02:05:11,791 --> 02:05:13,793
all all parts of the process.

3879
02:05:13,793 --> 02:05:15,594
We had the parties meeting as

3880
02:05:15,594 --> 02:05:16,996
well as a request like to have

3881
02:05:16,996 --> 02:05:18,300
a neighborhood civic

3882
02:05:18,300 --> 02:05:19,398
association and they declined

3883
02:05:19,398 --> 02:05:20,633
to have a meeting on this

3884
02:05:20,633 --> 02:05:23,202
project as stated they oppose

3885
02:05:23,202 --> 02:05:23,770
every move get in in the uh,

3886
02:05:23,770 --> 02:05:24,971
City Point game.

3887
02:05:24,971 --> 02:05:26,172
I mean, they're good having

3888
02:05:26,172 --> 02:05:28,700
civic associations so they

3889
02:05:28,700 --> 02:05:29,142
don't they don't believe it was

3890
02:05:29,142 --> 02:05:29,743
important to have a meeting on

3891
02:05:29,743 --> 02:05:31,677
this particular project.

3892
02:05:31,677 --> 02:05:32,912
So I respectfully declined with

3893
02:05:32,912 --> 02:05:33,446
statement made by Councilor

3894
02:05:33,446 --> 02:05:35,446

02:05:35,749 --> 02:05:37,350
Okay.

Uh, do we have, uh, a date?

Caroline?

3971
02:08:35,565 --> 02:08:39,135
We could do OCTOBER 6th or

3972
02:08:39,135 --> 02:08:39,535
toward 27th OCTOBER six would

3973
02:08:39,535 --> 02:08:41,535
be fine.

3974
02:08:43,472 --> 02:08:44,341
Okay with that?

3975
02:08:44,341 --> 02:08:47,341
MAY I have a motion?

3976
02:08:48,378 --> 02:08:48,778
Motion to defer this case until

02:08:48,778 --> 02:08:50,778

Thank you, MADAM Chair.

Yes.

4037
02:10:52,404 --> 02:10:53,905
The motion carries.

4038
02:10:53,905 --> 02:10:55,905
See you then.

4039
02:11:01,312 --> 02:11:02,514

4040
02:11:02,514 --> 02:11:02,780

02:11:02,780 --> 02:11:04,780

Yeah, hearing.

02:11:07,586 --> 02:11:09,586
None.

4044
02:11:11,957 --> 02:11:12,724
Um, there MAY be one, uh,

4045
02:11:12,724 --> 02:11:15,124
members of the board.

02:11:15,927 --> 02:11:16,261
Uh, this is item on 44 Granger

4047
02:11:16,261 --> 02:11:17,395
Street.

4048
02:11:17,395 --> 02:11:18,430
I just received some

4049
02:11:18,430 --> 02:11:20,830
communications from MISS Hayes

4050
02:11:20,899 --> 02:11:22,535
that they were, um, wishing to,

4051
02:11:22,535 --> 02:11:23,969
uh, reschedule to OCTOBER 6th

4052
02:11:23,969 --> 02:11:24,502
because of the, uh, notice that

4053
02:11:24,502 --> 02:11:25,637
went out.

4054
02:11:25,637 --> 02:11:26,639
I didn't know if that was going

4055
02:11:26,639 --> 02:11:28,440
to be done on a deferral, but

4056
02:11:28,440 --> 02:11:31,676
I'm happy to move for the day.

4057
02:11:31,676 --> 02:11:35,276

02:11:35,681 --> 02:11:37,483

4059

02:11:40,319 --> 02:11:40,553
Caroline, can you confirm that

4061
02:11:40,553 --> 02:11:42,553

4062
02:11:43,989 --> 02:11:44,924
Yes you are okay, so let's read

4063
02:11:44,924 --> 02:11:47,324

02:11:50,762 --> 02:11:54,962

02:12:03,342 --> 02:12:04,777
The right thing else you'd like

02:12:04,777 --> 02:12:05,345
to say but, uh.

4069
02:12:05,345 --> 02:12:05,845
Don't that doesn't.

4070
02:12:05,845 --> 02:12:07,845
Thank you.

4071
02:12:08,248 --> 02:12:10,649
Okay, so MAY I have a motion

4072
02:12:10,649 --> 02:12:14,249

4073
02:12:15,288 --> 02:12:17,324

second that MR. Stonebridge.

4076
02:12:21,461 --> 02:12:23,461
Yes.

4077
02:12:24,631 --> 02:12:26,566
MR. Valencia yes.

4078
02:12:26,566 --> 02:12:28,566
Let's turn.

4079
02:12:30,570 --> 02:12:32,570
Yes, MISS Federalism.

4080
02:12:33,105 --> 02:12:33,606
Yes, MISS.

4081
02:12:33,606 --> 02:12:35,606
We will.

4082
02:12:36,175 --> 02:12:37,211
MR. Langham.

4083
02:12:37,211 --> 02:12:38,745
Yes.

4084
02:12:38,745 --> 02:12:40,745

Thank you all.

4088

Good day.

02:12:51,124 --> 02:12:53,124
the 1130 Europe?

4092
02:12:54,861 --> 02:12:55,228
Hearing?

4093
02:12:55,228 --> 02:12:57,228
None.

4094
02:12:58,465 --> 02:13:01,465
We'll return to the 11:00 cases

4095
02:13:01,902 --> 02:13:06,102
and we will go through the case

4096
02:13:07,808 --> 02:13:09,743
voa 1850688 with the address

4097
02:13:09,743 --> 02:13:11,743
of 442 East Street.

4098
02:13:14,347 --> 02:13:15,983
If the applicant is your

4099
02:13:15,983 --> 02:13:17,685
representative are present for

4100
02:13:17,685 --> 02:13:19,686
their part to the board.

4101
02:13:19,686 --> 02:13:21,880
Thank you, MR. Stonebridge.

4102
02:13:21,880 --> 02:13:23,900
MADAM Chair members long

4103
02:13:23,900 --> 02:13:24,958
journey Ryan Smith to put down

4104
02:13:24,958 --> 02:13:26,793
Meranti business address of 168

4105
02:13:26,793 --> 02:13:28,629
eighth street first floor with

4106
02:13:28,629 --> 02:13:30,864
me today are the owners Michael

4107
02:13:30,864 --> 02:13:33,670
Regan, Joe Santoro and Andrew

4108
02:13:33,670 --> 02:13:34,735
Langone as well as the project

4109
02:13:34,735 --> 02:13:37,135
architects Peterson Dorsey and

4110
02:13:37,171 --> 02:13:38,539
Steven Do for this proposal

4111
02:13:38,539 --> 02:13:39,840
seeks to convert from a tree

4112
02:13:39,840 --> 02:13:41,275
family to a four family by

4113
02:13:41,275 --> 02:13:42,476
converting the basement into a

4114
02:13:42,476 --> 02:13:44,476
new residential unit.

4115
02:13:44,712 --> 02:13:45,680
No additions to the building

4116
02:13:45,680 --> 02:13:46,470
footprint or height as

4117
02:13:46,470 --> 02:13:47,181
proposed.

4118
02:13:47,181 --> 02:13:48,215
The exterior envelope

4119
02:13:48,215 --> 02:13:50,384
essentially stays the same.

4120
02:13:50,384 --> 02:13:51,753
The fourth unit is allowed as

4121
02:13:51,753 --> 02:13:53,321
we are within a mfr sub

4122
02:13:53,321 --> 02:13:54,689
district, but we will need

4123
02:13:54,689 --> 02:13:55,723
relief for the use as a

4124
02:13:55,723 --> 02:13:57,925
basement units are forbidden.

4125
02:13:57,925 --> 02:13:59,961
This is essentially aligned

4126
02:13:59,961 --> 02:14:01,763
with the Bi-rite edu policy in

4127
02:14:01,763 --> 02:14:02,830
the city of Boston, except that

4128
02:14:02,830 --> 02:14:04,320
the properties that have been

4129
02:14:04,320 --> 02:14:05,433
subject to the condominium

4130
02:14:05,433 --> 02:14:07,433
statute are ineligible.

4131
02:14:07,435 --> 02:14:07,936
Despite that all the units are

4132
02:14:07,936 --> 02:14:09,404
occupied.

4133
02:14:09,404 --> 02:14:11,873
Uh, the basement will be

4134
02:14:11,873 --> 02:14:13,475
approximately 825ft2, three

4135
02:14:13,475 --> 02:14:15,430
bedrooms, a full bathroom

4136
02:14:15,430 --> 02:14:17,790
kitchen living area with a

4137
02:14:17,790 --> 02:14:18,479
proposed recessed stairwell

4138
02:14:18,479 --> 02:14:19,447
patio cut into the rear yard

4139
02:14:19,447 --> 02:14:21,416
for egress light.

4140
02:14:21,416 --> 02:14:22,417
The front elevation is

4141
02:14:22,417 --> 02:14:24,152
virtually unchanged.

4142
02:14:24,152 --> 02:14:25,953
The normal exterior work is

4143
02:14:25,953 --> 02:14:27,589
that is that the rear end to

4144
02:14:27,589 --> 02:14:29,424
side with the proposed recessed

4145
02:14:29,424 --> 02:14:31,192
stairwell patio is cut into the

4146
02:14:31,192 --> 02:14:32,194
rail yard at grade level to

4147
02:14:32,194 --> 02:14:33,762
serve the basement unit.

4148
02:14:33,762 --> 02:14:35,230
That's what drives the rear

4149
02:14:35,230 --> 02:14:36,231
yard setback reduction, which

4150
02:14:36,231 --> 02:14:38,330
requires relief against

4151
02:14:38,330 --> 02:14:39,435
sufficient rear yard.

4152
02:14:39,435 --> 02:14:40,669
Despite being a preexisting

4153
02:14:40,669 --> 02:14:42,470
nonconformity, window wells

4154
02:14:42,470 --> 02:14:43,705
will also be proposed on the

4155
02:14:43,705 --> 02:14:44,907
front facade at the basement

4156
02:14:44,907 --> 02:14:46,410
level to bring it more light

4157
02:14:46,410 --> 02:14:47,442
into the new unit.

4158
02:14:47,442 --> 02:14:49,244
We have additional violations

4159
02:14:49,244 --> 02:14:50,679
by far the required after the

4160
02:14:50,679 --> 02:14:53,679
hours of 2.0 and the proposal

4161
02:14:53,715 --> 02:14:55,151
calls for a 2.71 open space

4162
02:14:55,151 --> 02:14:56,986
insufficiency 800ft2 of open

4163
02:14:56,986 --> 02:14:59,221
space would be required and the

4164
02:14:59,221 --> 02:14:59,721
proposal calls for 429 total

4165
02:14:59,721 --> 02:15:01,721
square feet.

4166
02:15:02,124 --> 02:15:03,325
Additional lot area is

4167
02:15:03,325 --> 02:15:05,127
insufficient as we would need

4168
02:15:05,127 --> 02:15:05,427
an additional 1000ft2 of lot

4169
02:15:05,427 --> 02:15:07,290
size.

4170
02:15:07,290 --> 02:15:07,830
But again this is a preexisting

4171
02:15:07,830 --> 02:15:09,432
condition of the lot.

4172
02:15:09,432 --> 02:15:11,700
Our street parking code

4173
02:15:11,700 --> 02:15:13,536
requires 1.5 parking spaces for

4174
02:15:13,536 --> 02:15:14,770
any new unit of housing, and

4175
02:15:14,770 --> 02:15:16,205
the proposal doesn't have the

4176
02:15:16,205 --> 02:15:18,700
ability to provide any parking.

4177
02:15:18,700 --> 02:15:19,608
In concluding, we feel that the

4178
02:15:19,608 --> 02:15:20,809
proposal would not create any

4179
02:15:20,809 --> 02:15:22,110
adverse impacts to the

4180
02:15:22,110 --> 02:15:23,246
neighborhood and is aligned

4181
02:15:23,246 --> 02:15:24,513
with the planning Department

4182
02:15:24,513 --> 02:15:25,715
recommendation of approval at

4183
02:15:25,715 --> 02:15:27,160
this point, MADAM Chair, I'm

4184
02:15:27,160 --> 02:15:28,250
going to turn it back over to

4185
02:15:28,250 --> 02:15:28,751
the board for any questions or

4186
02:15:28,751 --> 02:15:29,852
comments.

4187
02:15:29,852 --> 02:15:31,852
Thank you.

4188
02:15:32,288 --> 02:15:32,922
Are there questions or comments

4189
02:15:32,922 --> 02:15:34,922
from the board?

4190
02:15:37,160 --> 02:15:38,595
I have public testimony MADAM

4191
02:15:38,595 --> 02:15:39,962

Johnson with the Office

4193
02:15:40,596 --> 02:15:42,365
of Neighborhood Services.

4194
02:15:42,365 --> 02:15:44,167
Our office hosted an Abutters

4195
02:15:44,167 --> 02:15:45,368
meeting on JUNE 10th at which

4196
02:15:45,368 --> 02:15:47,237
one a butter was concerned

4197
02:15:47,237 --> 02:15:48,271
about a precedent in the area

4198
02:15:48,271 --> 02:15:49,672
for basement conversions.

4199
02:15:49,672 --> 02:15:51,107
The gate of Heaven Neighborhood

4200
02:15:51,107 --> 02:15:52,275
Association chose to take no

4201
02:15:52,275 --> 02:15:54,760
position on this proposal.

4202
02:15:54,760 --> 02:15:55,345
Our office is aware of one

4203
02:15:55,345 --> 02:15:56,546
letter of support that has been

4204
02:15:56,546 --> 02:15:57,947
submitted to the board from

4205
02:15:57,947 --> 02:15:59,983
just outside the 300 foot motor

4206
02:15:59,983 --> 02:16:00,751
radius with that background and

4207
02:16:00,751 --> 02:16:01,510
has deferred judgment to the

4208
02:16:01,510 --> 02:16:01,451
board.

4209
02:16:01,451 --> 02:16:03,451
Thank you.

4210
02:16:08,910 --> 02:16:08,425
Next we have a different

4211
02:16:08,425 --> 02:16:09,726

4212
02:16:09,726 --> 02:16:11,228

process, we respectfully

02:16:14,665 --> 02:16:15,865
request that the proponent

4217
02:16:15,865 --> 02:16:16,867

4218
02:16:16,867 --> 02:16:18,268
neighbors on any quality

4219
02:16:18,268 --> 02:16:19,690
of life issues during the

4220
02:16:19,690 --> 02:16:20,571

architect is also present.

4261
02:17:43,855 --> 02:17:46,658

02:17:46,658 --> 02:17:48,658
,127 foot deep parcel

4263

containing approximately

4264
02:17:51,330 --> 02:17:51,763
4445ft2 in the South Boston

4265
02:17:51,763 --> 02:17:52,397
neighborhood.

4266
02:17:52,397 --> 02:17:54,650
Districts.

4267
02:17:54,650 --> 02:17:55,000
Multifamily residential zoning.

4268
02:17:55,000 --> 02:17:56,801
Subdistrict.

4269
02:17:56,801 --> 02:17:58,636
It is currently improved with

4270
02:17:58,636 --> 02:18:00,706
the two storey residential

4271
02:18:00,706 --> 02:18:02,707
building with accessory parking

4272
02:18:02,707 --> 02:18:03,475
office side driveway and a

4273
02:18:03,475 --> 02:18:05,760
large rear yard.

4274
02:18:05,760 --> 02:18:07,476
My client purchased this

4275
02:18:07,579 --> 02:18:09,615
building on tenanted unoccupied

4276
02:18:09,615 --> 02:18:11,617
uh the petitioner my client

4277
02:18:11,617 --> 02:18:13,285
wishes to um demolish the

4278
02:18:13,285 --> 02:18:15,254
existing building and construct

4279
02:18:15,254 --> 02:18:16,688
a four story five unit

4280
02:18:16,688 --> 02:18:18,758
residential structure with an

4281
02:18:18,758 --> 02:18:20,392
a-grade parking garage serving

4282
02:18:20,392 --> 02:18:21,960
each townhouse style unit

4283
02:18:21,960 --> 02:18:23,195
individually as well as a

4284
02:18:23,195 --> 02:18:24,162
modest private roof deck for

4285
02:18:24,162 --> 02:18:25,897
each townhouse unit.

4286
02:18:25,897 --> 02:18:27,366
Each unit will be an

4287
02:18:27,366 --> 02:18:28,934
independent four story, three

4288
02:18:28,934 --> 02:18:30,736
bedroom, two and a half bath

4289
02:18:30,736 --> 02:18:34,373
unit each with a two car garage

4290
02:18:34,373 --> 02:18:35,808
,a small front balcony and 168

4291
02:18:35,808 --> 02:18:38,444
square foot private roof deck.

4292
02:18:38,444 --> 02:18:39,678
The proposed project requires a

4293
02:18:39,678 --> 02:18:41,678
variance for insufficient

4294
02:18:41,881 --> 02:18:42,948
additional lot area, two

4295
02:18:42,948 --> 02:18:45,348
variances for insufficient side

4296
02:18:45,417 --> 02:18:47,853
yard and insufficient rear yard

4297
02:18:47,853 --> 02:18:49,288
setbacks and conditional use

4298
02:18:49,288 --> 02:18:51,957
approval owing to the main

4299
02:18:51,957 --> 02:18:53,358
entrance configuration and also

4300
02:18:53,358 --> 02:18:55,361
for the building's height in

4301
02:18:55,361 --> 02:18:57,230
both of those last two uh

4302
02:18:57,230 --> 02:18:58,897
relief requirements owed to the

4303
02:18:58,897 --> 02:19:01,134
property's presence within a

4304
02:19:01,134 --> 02:19:03,534
restricted roof district with

4305
02:19:03,569 --> 02:19:04,603
respect to law dimensions and

4306
02:19:04,603 --> 02:19:06,373
the required additional lot

4307
02:19:06,373 --> 02:19:09,373
area the mfa sub district

4308
02:19:09,809 --> 02:19:12,979
requires um uh with respect to

4309
02:19:12,979 --> 02:19:16,182
the side yard, a three foot

4310
02:19:16,182 --> 02:19:17,784
minimum uh side yard and a 20

4311
02:19:17,784 --> 02:19:20,587
foot uh minimum rear yard.

4312
02:19:20,587 --> 02:19:21,787
The project proposes a left

4313
02:19:21,787 --> 02:19:23,590
side yard setback of a half

4314
02:19:23,590 --> 02:19:25,558
foot, but it should be noted

4315
02:19:25,558 --> 02:19:27,594
that that side of the lot in

4316
02:19:27,594 --> 02:19:29,630
the building is bordered by a

4317
02:19:29,630 --> 02:19:30,997
driveway serving the abutting

4318
02:19:30,997 --> 02:19:32,265
property, and that the

4319
02:19:32,265 --> 02:19:34,670
separation distance between the

4320
02:19:34,670 --> 02:19:34,367
two buildings will be over

4321
02:19:34,367 --> 02:19:36,367
14ft.

4322
02:19:37,170 --> 02:19:40,170
The proposed rear yard setback

4323
02:19:40,206 --> 02:19:40,474
is approximately four feet here

4324
02:19:40,474 --> 02:19:42,410
.

4325
02:19:42,410 --> 02:19:44,644
It also should be noted that

4326
02:19:44,644 --> 02:19:46,913
the lot backs on to a large

4327
02:19:46,913 --> 02:19:48,381
parking lot serving a townhouse

4328
02:19:48,381 --> 02:19:50,184
style multifamily building that

4329
02:19:50,184 --> 02:19:50,517
is addressed on East eighth

4330
02:19:50,517 --> 02:19:52,252
Street.

4331
02:19:52,252 --> 02:19:53,453
There's no residential

4332
02:19:53,453 --> 02:19:55,456
of butter in the rear.

4333
02:19:55,456 --> 02:19:57,924
Finally, with respect to the

4334
02:19:57,924 --> 02:20:00,127
lot size it is approximately

4335
02:20:00,127 --> 02:20:01,928
1550 five square feet shy

4336
02:20:01,928 --> 02:20:03,297
of the 6000ft2 the code

4337
02:20:03,297 --> 02:20:03,697
requires for a five unit

4338
02:20:03,697 --> 02:20:05,697
development.

4339
02:20:07,234 --> 02:20:09,270
Uh these are dimensional

4340
02:20:09,270 --> 02:20:11,710
constraints of what is a narrow

4341
02:20:11,710 --> 02:20:13,471
preexisting lot uh, not

4342
02:20:13,540 --> 02:20:15,242
deficiencies um, of design.

4343
02:20:15,242 --> 02:20:17,440
In fact, the design was adapted

4344
02:20:17,440 --> 02:20:17,545
to the size and dimensions

4345
02:20:17,545 --> 02:20:19,545
of the lot.

4346
02:20:19,780 --> 02:20:20,982
Each unit is provided prime and

4347
02:20:20,982 --> 02:20:23,250
open space through balconies

4348
02:20:23,250 --> 02:20:25,219
and roof decks the adjacent

4349
02:20:25,219 --> 02:20:26,854
lots provide, as I noted,

4350
02:20:26,854 --> 02:20:28,289
sufficient off site setbacks

4351
02:20:28,289 --> 02:20:30,324
from the residential uses that

4352
02:20:30,324 --> 02:20:32,226
would otherwise be effective

4353
02:20:32,226 --> 02:20:33,861
uh, affected excuse me.

4354
02:20:33,861 --> 02:20:35,329
The planning department review

4355
02:20:35,329 --> 02:20:36,564
these same facts and reach the

4356
02:20:36,564 --> 02:20:37,365
same conclusion that given the

4357
02:20:37,365 --> 02:20:39,365
scale of surrounding

4358
02:20:39,400 --> 02:20:42,360
development, the narrow lot to

4359
02:20:42,360 --> 02:20:43,671
mention, uh, the on site open

4360
02:20:43,671 --> 02:20:45,940
space provided and the setback

4361
02:20:45,940 --> 02:20:47,942
conditions on adjacent lots uh

4362
02:20:47,942 --> 02:20:50,211
,we believe that relief here

4363
02:20:50,211 --> 02:20:51,613
is justified and reasonable

4364
02:20:51,613 --> 02:20:54,415
with respect to the location

4365
02:20:54,415 --> 02:20:55,650
of the main entrances, the code

4366
02:20:55,650 --> 02:20:56,884
requires that the main entrance

4367
02:20:56,884 --> 02:20:57,384
of the dwelling face the front

4368
02:20:57,384 --> 02:20:59,384
line line?

4369
02:21:00,188 --> 02:21:02,790
Uh, but given the site's 35

4370
02:21:02,790 --> 02:21:04,992
foot width and 127 foot depth,

4371
02:21:04,992 --> 02:21:06,561
it is proposed here to access

4372
02:21:06,561 --> 02:21:09,300
all five units from a drive

4373
02:21:09,300 --> 02:21:11,320
aisle uh, with the sidewalk

4374
02:21:11,320 --> 02:21:13,340
interior to the property um

4375
02:21:13,340 --> 02:21:14,469
within the site with the unit

4376
02:21:14,469 --> 02:21:16,104
entrances facing that drive

4377
02:21:16,104 --> 02:21:17,506
aisle and private sidewalk.

4378
02:21:17,506 --> 02:21:18,940
The front of the building will

4379
02:21:18,940 --> 02:21:20,108
still present windows on all

4380
02:21:20,108 --> 02:21:21,509
floors in the ground floor

4381
02:21:21,509 --> 02:21:23,344
planter box on the street

4382
02:21:23,344 --> 02:21:24,346
facing frontage will remain

4383
02:21:24,346 --> 02:21:26,746
active and inviting even

4384
02:21:26,781 --> 02:21:27,515
without a door opening on Old

4385
02:21:27,515 --> 02:21:29,515
Arbor Street.

4386
02:21:29,718 --> 02:21:30,686
This configuration is not

4387
02:21:30,686 --> 02:21:32,320
unusual for the block.

4388
02:21:32,320 --> 02:21:33,421
Other nearby buildings take

4389
02:21:33,421 --> 02:21:34,522
their access off the side

4390
02:21:34,522 --> 02:21:36,158
of the building in the same

4391
02:21:36,158 --> 02:21:38,193
way, making this design

4392
02:21:38,193 --> 02:21:38,693
consistent with this as built

4393
02:21:38,693 --> 02:21:40,262
condition.

4394
02:21:40,262 --> 02:21:41,931
This is a fact also noted in

4395
02:21:41,931 --> 02:21:43,332
the planning recommendation and

4396
02:21:43,332 --> 02:21:44,332
finally with respect to the

4397
02:21:44,332 --> 02:21:45,400
building's height and the

4398
02:21:45,400 --> 02:21:47,202
provisions of the restricted

4399
02:21:47,202 --> 02:21:49,202
Roof District article 68

4400
02:21:50,873 --> 02:21:52,274
section 29 uh limits allowable

4401
02:21:52,274 --> 02:21:53,475
building height on any line to

4402
02:21:53,475 --> 02:21:55,770
the height of an existing

4403
02:21:55,770 --> 02:21:55,477
building subsequent to

4404
02:21:55,477 --> 02:21:57,212
demolition.

4405
02:21:57,212 --> 02:22:00,212
The existing vacant building is

4406
02:22:01,500 --> 02:22:02,451
a 17 foot two story old wire on

4407
02:22:02,451 --> 02:22:03,852
a block otherwise built up to

4408
02:22:03,852 --> 02:22:05,855
three and four stories.

4409
02:22:05,855 --> 02:22:07,690
This proposed 40 foot building

4410
02:22:07,690 --> 02:22:09,910
is zoning compliant with

4411
02:22:09,910 --> 02:22:09,858
respect to the actual table

4412
02:22:09,858 --> 02:22:11,858
requirements for the

4413
02:22:12,610 --> 02:22:13,929
subdistrict but for uh the

4414
02:22:13,929 --> 02:22:15,598
restricted structure provisions

4415
02:22:15,598 --> 02:22:17,800
even with the additional height

4416
02:22:17,800 --> 02:22:19,635
um the site design places the

4417
02:22:19,635 --> 02:22:21,671
driveway along the side closest

4418
02:22:21,671 --> 02:22:23,106
to the adjacent building on the

4419
02:22:23,106 --> 02:22:24,907
right there's a dry violence

4420
02:22:24,907 --> 02:22:26,642
existing on the lot left.

4421
02:22:26,642 --> 02:22:28,770
Uh, and both of these

4422
02:22:28,770 --> 02:22:30,313
conditions to preserve access

4423
02:22:30,313 --> 02:22:31,580
to light on air and both sides

4424
02:22:31,580 --> 02:22:33,150
of the building um, satisfying

4425
02:22:33,150 --> 02:22:34,650
the conditional use approval

4426
02:22:34,650 --> 02:22:36,452
conditions under section 29.

4427
02:22:36,452 --> 02:22:37,754
With that, MADAM Chair, I'll

4428
02:22:37,754 --> 02:22:38,988
pause and I'd be happy to take

4429
02:22:38,988 --> 02:22:39,388
any questions or comments from

4430
02:22:39,388 --> 02:22:40,690
the board.

4431
02:22:40,690 --> 02:22:42,910
Thank you.

4432
02:22:42,910 --> 02:22:42,391
Are there questions from the

4433
02:22:42,391 --> 02:22:44,391
board?

4434
02:22:45,862 --> 02:22:47,862
Hearing none ma'am.

4435
02:22:48,970 --> 02:22:49,332
Public testimony MADAM Chair

4436
02:22:49,332 --> 02:22:50,366
and board members Ziggy Johnson

4437
02:22:50,366 --> 02:22:50,733
with the Office of Neighborhood

4438
02:22:50,733 --> 02:22:52,302
Services.

4439
02:22:52,302 --> 02:22:53,269
This petitioner completed the

4440
02:22:53,269 --> 02:22:54,671
community process.

4441
02:22:54,671 --> 02:22:56,639
Our office hosted an Abutters

4442
02:22:56,639 --> 02:22:58,408
meeting on JUNE 30th at which

4443
02:22:58,408 --> 02:22:59,809
there was a mix of support and

4444
02:22:59,809 --> 02:23:01,809
concerns from residents

4445
02:23:01,844 --> 02:23:03,513
primarily at the 1306 Columbia

4446
02:23:03,513 --> 02:23:04,480
Road the building concerns were

4447
02:23:04,480 --> 02:23:05,281
raised by two Abutters

4448
02:23:05,281 --> 02:23:06,749
residents of that building

4449
02:23:06,749 --> 02:23:08,217
without water runoff, garage

4450
02:23:08,217 --> 02:23:09,653
door noise, the number of decks

4451
02:23:09,653 --> 02:23:11,455
and the insufficient setback.

4452
02:23:11,455 --> 02:23:12,656
Two others were supportive

4453
02:23:12,656 --> 02:23:14,290
of the design, stating a

4454
02:23:14,290 --> 02:23:15,959
preference for townhouses and a

4455
02:23:15,959 --> 02:23:16,559
need for this type of housing

4456
02:23:16,559 --> 02:23:17,761
in the area.

4457
02:23:17,761 --> 02:23:19,761
The Dorchester Heights

4458
02:23:19,797 --> 02:23:21,640
Neighborhood Association is in

4459
02:23:21,640 --> 02:23:22,499
opposition to this application.

4460
02:23:22,499 --> 02:23:24,501
With that background on us

4461
02:23:24,501 --> 02:23:26,269
defers judgment to the board.

4462
02:23:26,269 --> 02:23:28,669
Thank you, thank you.

4463
02:23:30,574 --> 02:23:31,875
Hi.

4464
02:23:31,875 --> 02:23:33,310
My name is actually Councilor

4465
02:23:33,310 --> 02:23:34,745
Flynn's office counselor

4466
02:23:34,745 --> 02:23:36,379
Feldman normally wants to

4467
02:23:36,379 --> 02:23:38,615
support a case like this due to

4468
02:23:38,615 --> 02:23:40,170
two parking spaces per unit and

4469
02:23:40,170 --> 02:23:41,251
attempting to solve Boston's

4470
02:23:41,251 --> 02:23:43,540
existing parking crisis.

4471
02:23:43,540 --> 02:23:45,122
However, he has a long standing

4472
02:23:45,122 --> 02:23:46,290
policy of opposing roof decks

4473
02:23:46,290 --> 02:23:47,925
due to the quality of life

4474
02:23:47,925 --> 02:23:49,727
issues impacting our seniors,

4475
02:23:49,727 --> 02:23:50,528
veterans, persons with

4476
02:23:50,528 --> 02:23:50,895
disabilities and young

4477
02:23:50,895 --> 02:23:52,895
families.

4478
02:23:54,599 --> 02:23:56,999
Thank you thank you.

4479
02:23:59,437 --> 02:24:04,237
And next we have uh um a tuna.

4480
02:24:04,408 --> 02:24:06,408
Briley Turner.

4481
02:24:06,710 --> 02:24:08,947
I live at the 1306 building and

4482
02:24:08,947 --> 02:24:10,381
we're not opposed to the the

4483
02:24:10,381 --> 02:24:12,183
building of this townhouse.

4484
02:24:12,183 --> 02:24:14,185
It's how it's being built that

4485
02:24:14,185 --> 02:24:16,988
we have an issue with the fact

4486
02:24:16,988 --> 02:24:19,590
that the the garage doors are

4487
02:24:19,590 --> 02:24:22,590
um, basically on the side

4488
02:24:23,161 --> 02:24:24,629
of our building one um,

4489
02:24:24,629 --> 02:24:25,997
basically where our bedrooms

4490
02:24:25,997 --> 02:24:27,431
are going to be and that's

4491
02:24:27,431 --> 02:24:28,900
something that is needs to be

4492
02:24:28,900 --> 02:24:29,634
in concert, you know, like I

4493
02:24:29,634 --> 02:24:31,403
pointed out.

4494
02:24:31,403 --> 02:24:33,571
So the garage door the cars

4495
02:24:33,571 --> 02:24:36,207
coming in and out um that

4496
02:24:36,207 --> 02:24:38,443
definitely the the um the the

4497
02:24:38,443 --> 02:24:40,679
side of you know the the side

4498
02:24:40,679 --> 02:24:44,716
yards of three feet in the 20ft

4499
02:24:44,716 --> 02:24:47,116
being drastically uh, reduced

4500
02:24:47,752 --> 02:24:49,587
is not okay according to how we

4501
02:24:49,587 --> 02:24:52,223
feel about this building and I

4502
02:24:52,223 --> 02:24:54,660
know that um, uh, you mentioned

4503
02:24:54,660 --> 02:24:57,660
the attorney mentioned that the

4504
02:24:58,363 --> 02:24:59,964
uh the the back of the building

4505
02:24:59,964 --> 02:25:00,265
actually, um, backs into East

4506
02:25:00,265 --> 02:25:01,166
Aid.

4507
02:25:01,166 --> 02:25:03,166
That's not true.

4508
02:25:03,334 --> 02:25:05,170
It actually backs into our

4509
02:25:05,170 --> 02:25:07,505
parking lot so I don't know.

4510
02:25:07,505 --> 02:25:08,774
I mean, there seems to be a lot

4511
02:25:08,774 --> 02:25:10,575
of misinformation that's being

4512
02:25:10,575 --> 02:25:11,977
shared here and I want to make

4513
02:25:11,977 --> 02:25:14,346
sure that we're on record

4514
02:25:14,346 --> 02:25:15,581
saying that we don't um, we

4515
02:25:15,581 --> 02:25:18,450
don't agree with some of the,

4516
02:25:18,450 --> 02:25:19,418
uh, proposed designs that are

4517
02:25:19,418 --> 02:25:20,920
being presented.

4518
02:25:20,920 --> 02:25:22,920
Thank you.

4519
02:25:24,456 --> 02:25:25,624
MADAM Chair.

4520
02:25:25,624 --> 02:25:26,992
There are no additional

4521
02:25:26,992 --> 02:25:27,860
comments or answers.

4522
02:25:27,860 --> 02:25:28,927
Yes.

4523
02:25:28,927 --> 02:25:30,496
Thank you, MADAM Chair.

4524
02:25:30,496 --> 02:25:32,980
Uh, with respect to the rear

4525
02:25:32,980 --> 02:25:35,101
of the building, uh, it does

4526
02:25:35,101 --> 02:25:37,936
uh, as I indicated, um, back up

4527
02:25:37,936 --> 02:25:39,104
into a garage a multi uh space

4528
02:25:39,104 --> 02:25:39,672
garage I think through 22

4529
02:25:39,672 --> 02:25:41,407
parking spaces.

4530
02:25:41,407 --> 02:25:42,942
I know that's not true.

4531
02:25:42,942 --> 02:25:45,342
That is not true.

4532
02:25:46,779 --> 02:25:49,179
Please mute public comment.

4533
02:25:51,618 --> 02:25:53,520
Um, I believe the previous

4534
02:25:53,520 --> 02:25:55,688
speaker said that the building

4535
02:25:55,688 --> 02:25:57,657
backs up onto the 1306 parking

4536
02:25:57,657 --> 02:25:59,725
lot and I believe that's what

4537
02:25:59,725 --> 02:26:00,960
the testimony was regardless

4538
02:26:00,960 --> 02:26:03,162
of whether it's a parking lot

4539
02:26:03,162 --> 02:26:04,564
serving 13 or 6 or the building

4540
02:26:04,564 --> 02:26:05,131
on State Street is a townhouse

4541
02:26:05,131 --> 02:26:07,131
style building.

4542
02:26:07,133 --> 02:26:08,535
Uh, I MAY have misidentified

4543
02:26:08,535 --> 02:26:09,936
the building for which the

4544
02:26:09,936 --> 02:26:11,504
parking lot is being used, but

4545
02:26:11,504 --> 02:26:11,937
it it does back up to that

4546
02:26:11,937 --> 02:26:13,937
parking lot.

4547
02:26:14,573 --> 02:26:16,175
Um, with respect to garage door

4548
02:26:16,175 --> 02:26:17,878
opener is my understanding I'm

4549
02:26:17,878 --> 02:26:19,780
not a builder but I believe

4550
02:26:19,780 --> 02:26:20,747
that most garage door openers

4551
02:26:20,747 --> 02:26:23,147
today, uh, operated something

4552
02:26:23,182 --> 02:26:23,450
like 40 decibel levels of sound

4553
02:26:23,450 --> 02:26:25,500
.

4554
02:26:25,500 --> 02:26:26,686
They're much quieter than some

4555
02:26:26,686 --> 02:26:27,654
of the older systems that

4556
02:26:27,654 --> 02:26:29,789
people MAY be used to.

4557
02:26:29,789 --> 02:26:31,591
Uh, as I said, there is

4558
02:26:31,591 --> 02:26:33,260
separation distance on the

4559
02:26:33,260 --> 02:26:34,728
right side owing to the fact

4560
02:26:34,728 --> 02:26:37,964
that there is a drive by there

4561
02:26:37,964 --> 02:26:41,200
uh, for uh for those garages

4562
02:26:41,200 --> 02:26:42,402
and um, I think that addresses

4563
02:26:42,402 --> 02:26:44,802
all of the comments.

4564
02:26:45,438 --> 02:26:46,172
Any other questions or comments

4565
02:26:46,172 --> 02:26:48,172
from the board?

4566
02:26:50,777 --> 02:26:53,177
We have a motion.

4567
02:27:04,692 --> 02:27:05,793
Is anyone prepared to make a

4568
02:27:05,793 --> 02:27:06,160
motion or do you still have

4569
02:27:06,160 --> 02:27:08,160
questions?

4570
02:27:09,530 --> 02:27:10,630
MADAM Chair I'll make a motion

4571
02:27:10,630 --> 02:27:12,630

4717
02:32:32,391 --> 02:32:32,825
to the master class

4718
02:32:32,825 --> 02:32:34,920
intersection.

4719
02:32:34,920 --> 02:32:35,928
We've been looking for new

4720
02:32:35,928 --> 02:32:37,362
space for a couple of years

4721
02:32:37,362 --> 02:32:40,166
because, uh, lease is up next

4722
02:32:40,166 --> 02:32:41,401
year in our current space and

4723
02:32:41,401 --> 02:32:43,402
we've identified this building

4724
02:32:43,402 --> 02:32:43,769
as being perfect for our

4725
02:32:43,769 --> 02:32:45,769
students.

4726
02:32:46,306 --> 02:32:49,306
It's close to Nubian, uh,

4727
02:32:49,976 --> 02:32:51,744
square transit station and, um,

4728
02:32:51,744 --> 02:32:52,912
gives us a lot more space in

4729
02:32:52,912 --> 02:32:54,912
which to operate.

4730
02:32:56,515 --> 02:32:57,951
Uh, we have, uh, raised the

4731
02:32:57,951 --> 02:32:59,585
acquisition financing and this

4732
02:32:59,585 --> 02:33:01,588
week we expect to get approval

4733
02:33:01,588 --> 02:33:02,989
from mass development with

4734
02:33:02,989 --> 02:33:04,989
supportive financing to

4735
02:33:05,258 --> 02:33:05,591
cover the purchase price of $9

4736
02:33:05,591 --> 02:33:07,591
million.

4737
02:33:07,961 --> 02:33:09,328
We're scheduled to close early

4738
02:33:09,328 --> 02:33:11,640
in OCTOBER.

4739
02:33:11,640 --> 02:33:13,464
Uh, next slide please.

4740
02:33:16,703 --> 02:33:18,104
Uh, we have launched Capital

4741
02:33:18,104 --> 02:33:19,105
Campaign which has been

4742
02:33:19,105 --> 02:33:20,840
underway for some months.

4743
02:33:20,840 --> 02:33:22,876
We expect to invest an

4744
02:33:22,876 --> 02:33:24,770
additional $9 million to

4745
02:33:24,770 --> 02:33:25,912
renovate the second and third

4746
02:33:25,912 --> 02:33:28,582
floors in particular to put in

4747
02:33:28,582 --> 02:33:30,784
a significantly larger kitchen.

4748
02:33:30,784 --> 02:33:32,819
And we now have to support our

4749
02:33:32,819 --> 02:33:34,221
teaching and also uh, social

4750
02:33:34,221 --> 02:33:36,221
enterprise, uh, catering.

4751
02:33:37,824 --> 02:33:40,930
The next slide uh, there are

4752
02:33:40,930 --> 02:33:42,295
three zoning reliefs requested

4753
02:33:42,295 --> 02:33:44,197
which I've outlined here.

4754
02:33:44,197 --> 02:33:44,598
I can't describe them

4755
02:33:44,598 --> 02:33:45,866
technically.

4756
02:33:45,866 --> 02:33:49,200
Perhaps a lawyer can do that.

4757
02:33:49,200 --> 02:33:51,400
Yes I can I can jump in

4758
02:33:51,400 --> 02:33:52,673
although uh it's it's it's

4759
02:33:52,673 --> 02:33:55,730
pretty straightforward in terms

4760
02:33:55,142 --> 02:33:56,576
of uh the relief that's needed.

4761
02:33:56,576 --> 02:33:58,778
Uh, again, this is moving into

4762
02:33:58,778 --> 02:34:00,380
an existing building, uh, so

4763
02:34:00,380 --> 02:34:02,383
that, you know, the request

4764
02:34:02,383 --> 02:34:04,251
around parking has to do with

4765
02:34:04,251 --> 02:34:05,285
with the existing building, uh,

4766
02:34:05,285 --> 02:34:07,454
for loading as well.

4767
02:34:07,454 --> 02:34:09,490
So, uh, conditional on a couple

4768
02:34:09,490 --> 02:34:09,857
conditional use permit and a

4769
02:34:09,857 --> 02:34:11,292
variance.

4770
02:34:11,292 --> 02:34:13,292
Thank you.

4771
02:34:16,363 --> 02:34:18,363
Thank you.

4772
02:34:18,533 --> 02:34:18,833
Are there questions from the

4773
02:34:18,833 --> 02:34:20,833

Thank you.

4905
02:54:32,466 --> 02:54:33,600
Hello, everyone.

4906
02:54:33,600 --> 02:54:35,202
Uh, I am Tim Chan.

4907
02:54:35,202 --> 02:54:36,369
I'm the architect for the

4908
02:54:36,369 --> 02:54:37,103
project number nine Wall Street

4909
02:54:37,103 --> 02:54:39,103
in Charlestown.

4910
02:54:39,673 --> 02:54:41,274
And yes, to David's point, we'd

4911
02:54:41,274 --> 02:54:43,770
like to build, uh, a single

4912
02:54:43,770 --> 02:54:44,745
family house on the site.

4913
02:54:44,745 --> 02:54:46,179
As you see on the site plan it

4914
02:54:46,179 --> 02:54:48,348
would be very similar to the

4915
02:54:48,348 --> 02:54:49,483
last project we did uh, in the

4916
02:54:49,483 --> 02:54:50,451
left corner of the site where

4917
02:54:50,451 --> 02:54:52,686
you're looking at the lot

4918
02:54:52,686 --> 02:54:54,421
except we would have a family

4919
02:54:54,421 --> 02:54:55,723
room, uh, to a large living

4920
02:54:55,723 --> 02:54:56,957
space on the first floor.

4921
02:54:56,957 --> 02:54:58,559
I call it family room master

4922
02:54:58,559 --> 02:54:59,960
bedroom because if somebody

4923
02:54:59,960 --> 02:55:01,940
wanted that to be a master

4924
02:55:01,940 --> 02:55:01,929
bedroom suite, uh, it would

4925
02:55:01,929 --> 02:55:03,363
work well for that.

4926
02:55:03,363 --> 02:55:04,398
And basically the first floor

4927
02:55:04,398 --> 02:55:05,934
would be kitchen dining, living

4928
02:55:05,934 --> 02:55:07,968
with a half bath and a

4929
02:55:07,968 --> 02:55:08,570
forwardly justified set

4930
02:55:08,570 --> 02:55:10,570
of switchback stairs.

4931
02:55:10,705 --> 02:55:11,772
The middle floor you know, the

4932
02:55:11,772 --> 02:55:12,573
upper floors would be identical

4933
02:55:12,573 --> 02:55:14,175
to what we did next door.

4934
02:55:14,175 --> 02:55:15,342
So uh, two bedrooms, a master

4935
02:55:15,342 --> 02:55:17,342
and two bathrooms.

4936
02:55:17,946 --> 02:55:19,447
Uh top floor we're calling a

4937
02:55:19,447 --> 02:55:20,448
bonus round up in the attic on

4938
02:55:20,448 --> 02:55:22,417
the third floor in the.

4939
02:55:22,417 --> 02:55:24,850
Uh, we would have a playroom

4940
02:55:24,850 --> 02:55:24,686
sort of another living space in

4941
02:55:24,686 --> 02:55:25,720
the front right corner.

4942
02:55:25,720 --> 02:55:28,122
You came up the stairs?

4943
02:55:28,122 --> 02:55:29,124
Uh, a bathroom sort of for

4944
02:55:29,124 --> 02:55:30,424
everybody and then, um, you

4945
02:55:30,424 --> 02:55:31,659
know, to the left in the in the

4946
02:55:31,659 --> 02:55:32,760
here, you know, with the small

4947
02:55:32,760 --> 02:55:33,600
dormer we would have a bonus

4948
02:55:33,600 --> 02:55:35,600
room.

4949
02:55:36,665 --> 02:55:39,301
Um, and basically that's the

4950
02:55:39,301 --> 02:55:43,171
house would be uh would come in

4951
02:55:43,171 --> 02:55:45,607
at total uh 2525 gross square

4952
02:55:45,607 --> 02:55:48,420
footage and which would result

4953
02:55:48,420 --> 02:55:49,143
with a net of 2345 and that's

4954
02:55:49,143 --> 02:55:49,677
that's the single family would

4955
02:55:49,677 --> 02:55:51,379
like to build.

4956
02:55:51,379 --> 02:55:52,614
Thank you.

4957
02:55:52,614 --> 02:55:54,150
Thank you very much for

4958
02:55:54,150 --> 02:55:56,150
representing that, Tim.

4959
02:55:56,185 --> 02:55:57,419
Uh, members of my MADAM

4960
02:55:57,419 --> 02:55:59,621
CHAIRMAN of the board, I would

4961
02:55:59,621 --> 02:56:03,221
like to emphasize the, uh that

4962
02:56:03,859 --> 02:56:06,610
uh, 13,700ft2 uh, which which

4963
02:56:06,610 --> 02:56:07,896
is half of the lot uh, the

4964
02:56:07,896 --> 02:56:10,896
Gordon combined lot uh, which

4965
02:56:11,901 --> 02:56:14,136
is uh 21,000ft2 if I add all

4966
02:56:14,136 --> 02:56:16,405
the properties together uh,

4967
02:56:16,405 --> 02:56:17,238
again, this this house fits

4968
02:56:17,238 --> 02:56:19,800
nicely on the log.

4969
02:56:19,800 --> 02:56:21,777
Uh, it has good space.

4970
02:56:21,777 --> 02:56:23,145
It has my side yard setbacks

4971
02:56:23,145 --> 02:56:25,214
would be ten feet each side

4972
02:56:25,214 --> 02:56:27,150
of the, uh of the of the house

4973
02:56:27,150 --> 02:56:29,385
and I have a real setback.

4974
02:56:29,385 --> 02:56:30,953
Uh, what that would be which is

4975
02:56:30,953 --> 02:56:33,923
insufficient, but I would have

4976
02:56:33,923 --> 02:56:35,558
a 20 year 20 20ft rear yard

4977
02:56:35,558 --> 02:56:37,926
setback for the families.

4978
02:56:37,926 --> 02:56:40,950
Uh, again, this house works

4979
02:56:40,950 --> 02:56:41,697
nice beyond the laugh we we we

4980
02:56:41,697 --> 02:56:44,133
did we did get approval from

4981
02:56:44,133 --> 02:56:47,300
the board for the number 20

4982
02:56:47,300 --> 02:56:48,871
yard plain Street and number 12

4983
02:56:48,871 --> 02:56:52,471

4985
02:56:55,911 --> 02:56:57,947
number of of entrances to the

the house.

4990
02:57:04,654 --> 02:57:06,256
Uh, one is on the very right

4991
02:57:06,256 --> 02:57:07,890
hand side of the of the plan to

4992
02:57:07,890 --> 02:57:09,859
solve the problem that you see

4993
02:57:09,859 --> 02:57:13,296
right now I have one in the

4994
02:57:13,296 --> 02:57:15,165
middle, uh, which hasn't been

4995
02:57:15,165 --> 02:57:17,566
the Kirkwood code has not been

4996
02:57:17,566 --> 02:57:21,166

some uh, issues with uh, ppd

4998
02:57:23,440 --> 02:57:24,874

this proposal?

5011
02:57:53,403 --> 02:57:56,403
This proposal is this actually

5012
02:57:56,406 --> 02:57:58,275
for houses on the site on this

5013
02:57:58,275 --> 02:58:01,111
proposal with the combined with

5014
02:58:01,111 --> 02:58:02,746
the combined with combining the

5015
02:58:02,746 --> 02:58:04,749
two lots number 20 and 18 plans

5016
02:58:04,749 --> 02:58:06,783
with those three on a right now

5017
02:58:06,783 --> 02:58:10,383
and it was with this proposal

5018
02:58:10,621 --> 02:58:11,550
there will be four on a total

5019
02:58:11,550 --> 02:58:13,550
of 13,700ft2.

5020
02:58:15,250 --> 02:58:16,293
Questions from the board.

5021
02:58:16,293 --> 02:58:18,950
Um yes.

5022
02:58:18,950 --> 02:58:20,564
I would like to know if you

5023
02:58:20,564 --> 02:58:23,564
have had conversations with bpd

5024
02:58:23,634 --> 02:58:26,471
on the overall site planning

5025
02:58:26,471 --> 02:58:29,400
of um of your proposals.

5026
02:58:29,400 --> 02:58:30,275
Um and you know what's kind

5027
02:58:30,275 --> 02:58:31,642
of forthcoming have you had

5028
02:58:31,642 --> 02:58:33,642
conversations with them?

5029
02:58:34,245 --> 02:58:34,812
Uh, well we haven't had a lot

5030
02:58:34,812 --> 02:58:36,714
of conversations.

5031
02:58:36,714 --> 02:58:38,716
I mean, you know, as to get us

5032
02:58:38,716 --> 02:58:40,551
to get as the as the houses get

5033
02:58:40,551 --> 02:58:41,786
approved, you know, we're going

5034
02:58:41,786 --> 02:58:43,588
through design review but other

5035
02:58:43,588 --> 02:58:45,189
than that, you know, there's

5036
02:58:45,189 --> 02:58:45,490
not much really that we talk

5037
02:58:45,490 --> 02:58:47,490
about.

5038
02:58:48,927 --> 02:58:49,627
I mean, I will obviously be

5039
02:58:49,627 --> 02:58:50,160
willing to work with the money

5040
02:58:50,160 --> 02:58:50,528
when I need anyone.

5041
02:58:50,528 --> 02:58:52,528
Yeah.

5042
02:58:53,899 --> 02:58:55,533
The just the only reason I I'm

5043
02:58:55,533 --> 02:58:58,936
asking is because it looks like

5044
02:58:58,936 --> 02:59:01,373
it's been um over time it's

5045
02:59:01,373 --> 02:59:03,408
been that there is a vision or

5046
02:59:03,408 --> 02:59:05,844
business of glee and then over

5047
02:59:05,844 --> 02:59:08,244
time you've been approving

5048
02:59:11,316 --> 02:59:12,951
project by project and so uh,

5049
02:59:12,951 --> 02:59:14,951
internally where there's

5050
02:59:15,153 --> 02:59:17,989
parking and open space it needs

5051
02:59:17,989 --> 02:59:20,425
to be look at a holistic versus

5052
02:59:20,425 --> 02:59:23,280
because you're you're all the

5053
02:59:23,280 --> 02:59:25,428
properties are sharing a

5054
02:59:28,990 --> 02:59:29,368
driveway and so um it's not

5055
02:59:29,368 --> 02:59:31,768
necessarily it's being looked

5056
02:59:31,970 --> 02:59:33,539
at as a project or project but

5057
02:59:33,539 --> 02:59:34,707
if you look at the site plan

5058
02:59:34,707 --> 02:59:36,175
there's a lot of shared

5059
02:59:36,175 --> 02:59:36,508
amenities between each of the

5060
02:59:36,508 --> 02:59:37,842
houses.

5061
02:59:37,842 --> 02:59:40,145
So that's why I was asking.

5062
02:59:40,145 --> 02:59:41,713
Yeah.

5063
02:59:41,713 --> 02:59:43,649
Uh, thank you for that.

5064
02:59:43,649 --> 02:59:45,717
Uh, we like this has been an

5065
02:59:45,717 --> 02:59:48,117
ongoing and ongoing project

5066
02:59:48,420 --> 02:59:48,687
going on since 2000 like 15 or

5067
02:59:48,687 --> 02:59:50,687
16.

5068
02:59:52,358 --> 02:59:53,959
So in order for me to to get

5069
02:59:53,959 --> 02:59:55,794
these houses built it just

5070
02:59:55,794 --> 02:59:57,796
takes time and you know we go

5071
02:59:57,796 --> 03:00:00,732
through them in phases but we

5072
03:00:00,732 --> 03:00:01,990
we like to do share the

5073
03:00:01,990 --> 03:00:03,990
driveways.

5074
03:00:03,202 --> 03:00:04,637
Uh, there is one driveway in

5075
03:00:04,637 --> 03:00:05,838
the middle there when we're not

5076
03:00:05,838 --> 03:00:09,740
car is in the middle of the

5077
03:00:09,740 --> 03:00:10,876
of the site that uh that is the

5078
03:00:10,876 --> 03:00:12,277
main entrance that to the

5079
03:00:12,277 --> 03:00:13,846
property but it is like 20ft

5080
03:00:13,846 --> 03:00:15,848
wide and then on the right hand

5081
03:00:15,848 --> 03:00:17,417
side you also have a driveway

5082
03:00:17,417 --> 03:00:19,252
with access which is at 24

5083
03:00:19,252 --> 03:00:20,185
driveways right wide way way

5084
03:00:20,185 --> 03:00:22,185
driveway as well.

5085
03:00:25,291 --> 03:00:25,791
Other questions or comments

5086
03:00:25,791 --> 03:00:27,791
from the board?

My name is Evan Jones

of Neighborhood Services

03:00:36,369 --> 03:00:37,570
regarding 18 hour plan straight

5094
03:00:37,570 --> 03:00:39,439
off this difference to the

5095
03:00:39,439 --> 03:00:40,673
board's judgment a community

5096
03:00:40,673 --> 03:00:42,108
process was conducted including

5097
03:00:42,108 --> 03:00:44,310
an Abutters meeting held on

5098
03:00:44,310 --> 03:00:45,745
Wednesday JANUARY 14th 2026

5099
03:00:45,745 --> 03:00:46,980
that was well attended by the

5100
03:00:46,980 --> 03:00:48,248
Dorchester community members

5101
03:00:48,248 --> 03:00:50,248
where overwhelming opposition

5102
03:00:50,283 --> 03:00:52,352
was expressed with concerns

5103
03:00:52,352 --> 03:00:53,353
expressed regarding the quality

5104
03:00:53,353 --> 03:00:55,210
of life, the applicant's

5105
03:00:55,210 --> 03:00:56,889
ongoing proposals and community

5106
03:00:56,889 --> 03:00:58,692
members concerns about the site

5107
03:00:58,692 --> 03:01:00,126
storage for construction,

5108
03:01:00,126 --> 03:01:01,427
construction trash that had not

5109
03:01:01,427 --> 03:01:02,796
been cleaned up and what they

5110
03:01:02,796 --> 03:01:04,397
felt to be excessive zoning

5111
03:01:04,397 --> 03:01:05,833
violations as well as the

5112
03:01:05,833 --> 03:01:06,833
increased stress on street

5113
03:01:06,833 --> 03:01:07,367
parking that this property

5114
03:01:07,367 --> 03:01:09,367
would amplify.

5115
03:01:09,402 --> 03:01:11,380
Additionally, we received five

5116
03:01:11,380 --> 03:01:12,472
letters in opposition citing

5117
03:01:12,472 --> 03:01:13,473
many of the same concerns

5118
03:01:13,473 --> 03:01:15,873
expressed in the Abutters

5119
03:01:15,909 --> 03:01:17,744
meeting as well as concerns

5120
03:01:17,744 --> 03:01:18,946
that the proposed changes to

5121
03:01:18,946 --> 03:01:20,947
rear parcel access including

5122
03:01:20,947 --> 03:01:22,349
the lack of a documented curb

5123
03:01:22,349 --> 03:01:23,583
cut approval and the need for

5124
03:01:23,583 --> 03:01:24,986
clarification regarding

5125
03:01:24,986 --> 03:01:26,620
emergency access combined with

5126
03:01:26,620 --> 03:01:28,540
the number of requested

5127
03:01:28,540 --> 03:01:30,900
variances and the collective

5128
03:01:30,900 --> 03:01:31,491
impact of prior approvals on

5129
03:01:31,491 --> 03:01:33,561
this lot and the abutting lot

5130
03:01:33,561 --> 03:01:35,161
weren't further review of the

5131
03:01:35,161 --> 03:01:36,163
project's access scale and

5132
03:01:36,163 --> 03:01:36,597
overall impact on the

5133
03:01:36,597 --> 03:01:38,298
neighborhood.

5134
03:01:38,298 --> 03:01:39,900
We have also received six

5135
03:01:39,900 --> 03:01:41,301
letters in support from the two

5136
03:01:41,301 --> 03:01:42,903
abutting parcels owned by the

5137
03:01:42,903 --> 03:01:44,137
applicant and one from the

5138
03:01:44,137 --> 03:01:45,305
parcel currently being reviewed

5139
03:01:45,305 --> 03:01:46,574
at 18 Plain Street where

5140
03:01:46,574 --> 03:01:47,975

03:01:47,975 --> 03:01:48,342
they had no issues with the

5142
03:01:48,342 --> 03:01:49,710
proposal.

5143
03:01:49,710 --> 03:01:51,712
The project was also reviewed

5144
03:01:51,712 --> 03:01:53,146
by the Hill Civic Association

5145
03:01:53,146 --> 03:01:54,381
where no significant concerns

5146
03:01:54,381 --> 03:01:55,316
were shared at this time.

5147
03:01:55,316 --> 03:01:56,183

on this matter.

would like to go on record in

5160
03:02:18,500 --> 03:02:19,240
opposition to proposal due to

5161
03:02:19,240 --> 03:02:19,607

03:02:44,666 --> 03:02:45,901
and remain in the city and we

5178
03:02:45,901 --> 03:02:46,868
would love to see another young

5179
03:02:46,868 --> 03:02:48,870
family get the same shot.

5180
03:02:48,870 --> 03:02:50,204

proposed.

5185
03:02:54,442 --> 03:02:55,310

Can you hear me?

5191
03:03:14,396 --> 03:03:15,230
Yes, hi, I'm Martin Sweeney,

5192
03:03:15,230 --> 03:03:17,230
airport director butter.

5193
03:03:17,633 --> 03:03:18,330
Uh, directly behind the the

5194
03:03:18,330 --> 03:03:20,330
development.

5195
03:03:20,969 --> 03:03:23,572
Um, I'm in opposition to this.

5196
03:03:23,572 --> 03:03:25,574
Uh, I know is tenants just came

5197
03:03:25,574 --> 03:03:27,176
on and said you support that

5198
03:03:27,176 --> 03:03:27,642
project, but that's kind

5199
03:03:27,642 --> 03:03:28,711
of self-serving.

5200
03:03:28,711 --> 03:03:30,711
He's already there.

5201
03:03:30,880 --> 03:03:32,281
Um, when this project was

5202
03:03:32,281 --> 03:03:34,681
originally started over ten

5203
03:03:34,883 --> 03:03:37,753
years ago, there were, uh,

5204
03:03:37,753 --> 03:03:39,555
proposals for three properties

5205
03:03:39,555 --> 03:03:41,957
and green space in the back.

5206
03:03:41,957 --> 03:03:44,357
Um, that's currently been

5207
03:03:44,360 --> 03:03:45,327
chipped away at is now a fourth

5208
03:03:45,327 --> 03:03:46,929
building back there.

5209
03:03:46,929 --> 03:03:48,532
There's never been any green

5210
03:03:48,532 --> 03:03:51,100
space and this one would be a

5211
03:03:51,100 --> 03:03:51,467
fifth uh, thing on the

5212
03:03:51,467 --> 03:03:53,467
property.

5213
03:03:54,770 --> 03:03:55,710
There is no uh we've lost

5214
03:03:55,710 --> 03:03:56,406
trees.

5215
03:03:56,406 --> 03:03:58,806
We've lost tree cover.

5216
03:03:59,800 --> 03:04:00,643
Uh, the first property was

5217
03:04:00,643 --> 03:04:01,611
supposed to be geothermal that

5218
03:04:01,611 --> 03:04:03,611
never materialized.

5219
03:04:04,581 --> 03:04:05,114
Uh, there's been a lot

5220
03:04:05,114 --> 03:04:07,830
of issues.

5221
03:04:07,830 --> 03:04:08,718
It's been under constant

5222
03:04:08,718 --> 03:04:11,388
traction for more than ten

5223
03:04:11,388 --> 03:04:13,422
years with backhoes on piles

5224
03:04:13,422 --> 03:04:15,458
of dirt looking over the fence

5225
03:04:15,458 --> 03:04:17,660
at every neighbor's house and

5226
03:04:17,660 --> 03:04:17,994
uh, I again I just can't say

5227
03:04:17,994 --> 03:04:19,462
enough.

5228
03:04:19,462 --> 03:04:21,664
He's been shipped off in a way

5229
03:04:21,664 --> 03:04:23,990
at this from what the original

5230
03:04:23,990 --> 03:04:25,702
proposal was and what everybody

5231
03:04:25,702 --> 03:04:27,471
agreed to and it would be a

5232
03:04:27,471 --> 03:04:29,673
crime to allow this to continue

5233
03:04:29,673 --> 03:04:32,108
and to commit to abusing his

5234
03:04:32,108 --> 03:04:33,743
neighbors and the Abutters I

5235
03:04:33,743 --> 03:04:34,945
put something in the chat

5236
03:04:34,945 --> 03:04:37,347
that's more concise and has

5237
03:04:37,347 --> 03:04:38,648
some more, uh, issues in it,

5238
03:04:38,648 --> 03:04:40,651
but I'm on the way to check in

5239
03:04:40,651 --> 03:04:41,952
right now to the hospital.

5240
03:04:41,952 --> 03:04:44,352
Thank you so much.

5241
03:04:48,826 --> 03:04:49,560
Land here I don't know what's

5242
03:04:49,560 --> 03:04:51,560
happening is I.

Posted a, uh, additional

5244
03:04:56,834 --> 03:04:59,700

1234567 structures and you

5275
03:06:00,398 --> 03:06:02,000
currently um are the developer

5276
03:06:02,000 --> 03:06:03,401
for those seven structures,

5277
03:06:03,401 --> 03:06:04,636
correct for six and then what

5278
03:06:04,636 --> 03:06:05,102
is being proposed correct?

5279
03:06:05,102 --> 03:06:06,237
Correct.

5280
03:06:06,237 --> 03:06:06,604
That is correct.

5281
03:06:06,604 --> 03:06:07,710
Yes.

5282
03:06:07,710 --> 03:06:09,710
Okay.

5283
03:06:11,910 --> 03:06:13,745
Um and um the only thing that

5284
03:06:13,745 --> 03:06:16,745
is different from what we're

5285
03:06:16,815 --> 03:06:19,170
seeing in the site plan is that

5286
03:06:19,170 --> 03:06:21,860
the the new curb cut that

5287
03:06:21,860 --> 03:06:23,486
you're mentioning in between

5288
03:06:23,756 --> 03:06:26,324
the properties on Plain Street

5289
03:06:26,324 --> 03:06:27,225
um, is not is not being

5290
03:06:27,225 --> 03:06:27,759
proposed yet.

5291
03:06:27,759 --> 03:06:29,759
Correct.

5292
03:06:30,328 --> 03:06:33,499
We only or so the the main

5293
03:06:33,499 --> 03:06:35,500
access to 18 hour playing

5294
03:06:35,500 --> 03:06:36,435
street is from the top right

5295
03:06:36,435 --> 03:06:38,835
of the site plan.

5296
03:06:38,837 --> 03:06:40,606
Uh that is not correct.

5297
03:06:40,606 --> 03:06:43,442
I just have been pulling the

5298
03:06:43,442 --> 03:06:46,445
permit for for the uh the curb

5299
03:06:46,445 --> 03:06:48,280
yet because uh, I'm not sure

5300
03:06:48,280 --> 03:06:49,615
where the fire department is,

5301
03:06:49,615 --> 03:06:50,115
how large they're going to want

5302
03:06:50,115 --> 03:06:52,115
the curb cuts.

5303
03:06:52,351 --> 03:06:55,120
So the curb has been approved.

5304
03:06:55,120 --> 03:06:57,589
Um, when I originally got

5305
03:06:57,589 --> 03:06:58,323
number 18 Plan Street which was

5306
03:06:58,323 --> 03:06:58,924
and as of right.

5307
03:06:58,924 --> 03:07:00,626
How's that?

5308
03:07:00,626 --> 03:07:02,328
The foot the front house, the

5309
03:07:02,328 --> 03:07:02,695
houses in the front were all as

5310
03:07:02,695 --> 03:07:04,695
of right.

5311
03:07:05,398 --> 03:07:07,800
So I got to curb cut permit.

5312
03:07:07,800 --> 03:07:09,201
Well, uh no approval I haven't

5313
03:07:09,201 --> 03:07:10,803
I haven't got the permit today

5314
03:07:10,803 --> 03:07:12,604
but I have it has been approved

5315
03:07:12,604 --> 03:07:14,400
that at the Public Works I just

5316
03:07:14,400 --> 03:07:16,410
have I haven't received yeah at

5317
03:07:16,410 --> 03:07:19,111
the moment but it has been

5318
03:07:19,111 --> 03:07:22,181
approved and you've had a fire

5319
03:07:22,181 --> 03:07:24,581
department reviewed your plans

5320
03:07:24,617 --> 03:07:27,453
for fire access trucks behind

5321
03:07:27,453 --> 03:07:28,888
the properties it had that it

5322
03:07:28,888 --> 03:07:30,723
is an application I guess that

5323
03:07:30,723 --> 03:07:32,124
they don't fully review it

5324
03:07:32,124 --> 03:07:32,425
until it's approved by you

5325
03:07:32,425 --> 03:07:34,425
guys.

5326
03:07:34,894 --> 03:07:36,894
Okay.

5327
03:07:36,962 --> 03:07:38,962
Um.

5328
03:07:41,601 --> 03:07:42,935
And so when you when you were

5329
03:07:42,935 --> 03:07:44,935
proposing um.

5330
03:07:48,207 --> 03:07:50,100
Your property you never

5331
03:07:50,100 --> 03:07:51,244
proposed and I think you

5332
03:07:51,244 --> 03:07:53,646
mentioned this an overall site

5333
03:07:53,646 --> 03:07:56,316
plan to be pretty you've just

5334
03:07:56,316 --> 03:07:57,500
been doing it probably smaller

5335
03:07:57,500 --> 03:07:58,652
by increments.

5336
03:07:58,652 --> 03:07:59,619
You never had a larger vision

5337
03:07:59,619 --> 03:08:01,619
for the property.

5338
03:08:02,222 --> 03:08:03,723
That is correct I okay great.

5339
03:08:03,723 --> 03:08:05,723
Yeah okay.

5340
03:08:07,527 --> 03:08:10,363
Thanks I don't have any um uh

5341
03:08:10,363 --> 03:08:12,198
further questions okay.

5342
03:08:12,198 --> 03:08:12,932
Any other questions or conduct

5343
03:08:12,932 --> 03:08:13,600
from the board?

5344
03:08:13,600 --> 03:08:15,135
Yes.

5345
03:08:15,135 --> 03:08:17,535
Um it seems um.

5346
03:08:18,506 --> 03:08:20,341
I'm sorry, as you said that

5347
03:08:20,341 --> 03:08:22,576
there's, um, a large impact to

5348
03:08:22,576 --> 03:08:23,143
the community with the ongoing

5349
03:08:23,143 --> 03:08:25,143
construction.

5350
03:08:26,130 --> 03:08:29,160
Um, and so I'd like to get a

5351
03:08:29,160 --> 03:08:30,217
good sense of what, if any

5352
03:08:30,217 --> 03:08:32,217
current construction is

5353
03:08:32,620 --> 03:08:35,620
happening and then also, um,

5354
03:08:36,623 --> 03:08:39,226
like a timeline or for these

5355
03:08:39,226 --> 03:08:40,661
projects like when can the

5356
03:08:40,661 --> 03:08:41,895
neighbors expect um, some

5357
03:08:41,895 --> 03:08:43,497
of the current construction to

5358
03:08:43,497 --> 03:08:45,699
be finished and then for this

5359
03:08:45,699 --> 03:08:46,700
new proposal what is the

5360
03:08:46,700 --> 03:08:47,234
timeline that you're

5361
03:08:47,234 --> 03:08:47,835
considering?

5362
03:08:47,835 --> 03:08:49,835

finishing up number 20 Lane

5365
03:08:54,174 --> 03:08:55,776

5366
03:08:55,776 --> 03:08:56,978
of uh I just finished the

5367
03:08:56,978 --> 03:08:58,146
landscaping plant a lot

5368
03:08:58,146 --> 03:09:00,547
of trees out the back.

5369
03:09:00,547 --> 03:09:02,383

03:09:02,383 --> 03:09:04,783
out the particular permit

5371
03:09:04,785 --> 03:09:06,220

5372
03:09:06,220 --> 03:09:08,455
subject to this being approved

5373
03:09:08,455 --> 03:09:11,459
,you know, I would expect it

5374
03:09:11,459 --> 03:09:13,461
takes 6 to 8 months to complete

5375
03:09:13,461 --> 03:09:15,960
to finish out this get get the

5376
03:09:15,960 --> 03:09:18,960
foundation token and get the

5377
03:09:18,500 --> 03:09:20,568
house built and you know do the

5378
03:09:20,568 --> 03:09:22,770
landscape and I've I've done a

5379
03:09:22,770 --> 03:09:24,406
fence around the place nice

5380
03:09:24,406 --> 03:09:25,773
fence and nice I've kept as

5381
03:09:25,773 --> 03:09:27,109
many trees I could some of the

5382
03:09:27,109 --> 03:09:28,709
trees will run at the back so

5383
03:09:28,709 --> 03:09:30,450
we have to we did have to take

5384
03:09:30,450 --> 03:09:31,647
some of them down but I have

5385
03:09:31,647 --> 03:09:33,480
kept several big trees which

5386
03:09:33,480 --> 03:09:35,490
will get trimmed again if

5387
03:09:35,490 --> 03:09:37,180
needed but it's it's you know

5388
03:09:37,180 --> 03:09:39,121

03:10:19,996 --> 03:10:21,630
There are the six other

5417
03:10:21,630 --> 03:10:24,300
properties like uh single

5418
03:10:24,330 --> 03:10:25,000
family condominiums as well.

5419
03:10:25,000 --> 03:10:26,435
Yeah single families yep.

5420
03:10:26,435 --> 03:10:27,837
There are two though actually

5421
03:10:27,837 --> 03:10:29,872
there's one there's one that

5422
03:10:29,872 --> 03:10:30,572

a two family.

5424
03:10:31,974 --> 03:10:33,776
The one on the very right hand

5425
03:10:33,776 --> 03:10:34,777
side is a two family that I

5426
03:10:34,777 --> 03:10:36,312

5427
03:10:36,312 --> 03:10:37,312
And then I got the I got the

5428
03:10:37,312 --> 03:10:38,748

5433
03:10:46,256 --> 03:10:48,290

5460
03:11:33,670 --> 03:11:35,872
these until until everything

5461
03:11:35,872 --> 03:11:37,441
gets done so it's not okay.

5462
03:11:37,441 --> 03:11:38,275
So if you understand if you

5463
03:11:38,275 --> 03:11:40,275
understand my situation.

5464
03:11:40,276 --> 03:11:43,800
Yeah no I understand so you're

5465
03:11:43,800 --> 03:11:45,515
you were um, building as you

5466
03:11:45,515 --> 03:11:46,483
went along and then is your

5467
03:11:46,483 --> 03:11:46,951
intention to sell these?

5468
03:11:46,951 --> 03:11:48,180
Yeah.

5469
03:11:48,180 --> 03:11:48,486
Oh yeah.

5470
03:11:48,486 --> 03:11:49,853
Okay.

5471
03:11:49,853 --> 03:11:50,220
I don't have any further

5472
03:11:50,220 --> 03:11:51,210
questions.

5473
03:11:51,210 --> 03:11:53,421
Thank you, thank you.

5474
03:11:53,523 --> 03:11:53,991
Yeah okay.

5475
03:11:53,991 --> 03:11:55,125
Yeah.

5476
03:11:55,125 --> 03:11:56,493
They're not are there?

5477
03:11:56,493 --> 03:11:56,927
Sounds like this we will do

5478
03:11:56,927 --> 03:11:58,927
your question.

5479
03:11:59,463 --> 03:12:00,998
Yeah MADAM Chair so though I

5480
03:12:00,998 --> 03:12:03,398
said it's about the

5481
03:12:03,701 --> 03:12:05,102
relationship of the proposed

5482
03:12:05,102 --> 03:12:07,337
dwelling to the other buildings

5483
03:12:07,337 --> 03:12:10,141
around it, you know, it's looks

5484
03:12:10,141 --> 03:12:11,775
to be three storeys which

5485
03:12:11,775 --> 03:12:12,676
exceeds the buy rate of two and

5486
03:12:12,676 --> 03:12:15,760
a half by half.

5487
03:12:16,147 --> 03:12:18,349
So I'm just wondering what that

5488
03:12:18,349 --> 03:12:19,750
relationship is like to your

5489
03:12:19,750 --> 03:12:22,150
properties but also the

5490
03:12:22,787 --> 03:12:24,622
properties and um I think

5491
03:12:24,622 --> 03:12:26,224
generally when something's so

5492
03:12:26,224 --> 03:12:28,224
internal it's usually

5493
03:12:28,258 --> 03:12:29,594
subordinate to its surrounding

5494
03:12:29,594 --> 03:12:31,162
um buildings.

5495
03:12:31,162 --> 03:12:31,462
So could you tell us about

5496
03:12:31,462 --> 03:12:33,462
that?

5497
03:12:35,667 --> 03:12:37,334
Yeah I mean if I'm happy to to

5498
03:12:37,334 --> 03:12:38,703
work to make it a two and a

5499
03:12:38,703 --> 03:12:40,538
half storeys it just it's

5500
03:12:40,538 --> 03:12:42,440
there's a dormer if you if you

5501
03:12:42,440 --> 03:12:44,410
look if you went to the the the

5502
03:12:44,410 --> 03:12:45,643
plans there's a dormer and I

5503
03:12:45,643 --> 03:12:48,680
think it's over eight feet so I

5504
03:12:48,680 --> 03:12:51,349
think in a it qualifies as a

5505
03:12:51,349 --> 03:12:53,117
three storey three storeys but

5506
03:12:53,117 --> 03:12:55,860
it's uh I'm happy I mean if it

5507
03:12:55,860 --> 03:12:56,688
gets goes to the you know

5508
03:12:56,688 --> 03:12:58,123
design review and we can go to

5509
03:12:58,123 --> 03:12:58,756
two and a half stories I'm I'm

5510
03:12:58,756 --> 03:13:00,756
okay with that.

5511
03:13:01,126 --> 03:13:02,527
It just it's very similar in

5512
03:13:02,527 --> 03:13:03,762
design to the house that was

5513
03:13:03,762 --> 03:13:05,396
just approved and that they

5514
03:13:05,396 --> 03:13:07,650
just built between our place.

5515
03:13:07,650 --> 03:13:08,320
So the only difference is it

5516
03:13:08,320 --> 03:13:11,836
has a family room on the site.

5517
03:13:11,836 --> 03:13:14,239
This new property um so I have

5518
03:13:14,239 --> 03:13:15,607
a question no not sure if um

5519
03:13:15,607 --> 03:13:17,609
I'm not sure if they can go

5520
03:13:17,609 --> 03:13:21,209
back to that survey plot plan.

5521
03:13:22,470 --> 03:13:24,490
Um and can the ambassador go to

5522
03:13:24,490 --> 03:13:26,170
the survey plot plan?

5523
03:13:26,170 --> 03:13:28,417
The survey plot plan?

5524
03:13:29,821 --> 03:13:32,221
Okay here this one.

5525
03:13:33,792 --> 03:13:36,261
So, um, you know, I just

5526
03:13:36,261 --> 03:13:39,261
reviewed your what your overall

5527
03:13:39,331 --> 03:13:41,634
site access and to the right if

5528
03:13:41,634 --> 03:13:43,836
you if you have to you have to

5529
03:13:43,836 --> 03:13:46,438
maintain a 20 foot with for

5530
03:13:46,438 --> 03:13:48,273
fire trucks in one conflict

5531
03:13:48,273 --> 03:13:51,273
with the three parking spaces

5532
03:13:51,343 --> 03:13:52,912
right in front of unit five and

5533
03:13:52,912 --> 03:13:54,313
then the only other

5534
03:13:54,313 --> 03:13:57,913
observations I see that if you

5535
03:13:57,916 --> 03:14:02,116
do move ahead and put a fire

5536
03:14:03,220 --> 03:14:04,958
access uh in between unit three

5537
03:14:04,958 --> 03:14:07,393
and the unit next to it, it

5538
03:14:07,393 --> 03:14:08,995
will not provide clearance

5539
03:14:08,995 --> 03:14:10,996
because you have some

5540
03:14:10,996 --> 03:14:11,363
structures next to it a 20 foot

5541
03:14:11,363 --> 03:14:13,363
clearance.

5542
03:14:14,533 --> 03:14:17,369
So are the parking spaces in

5543
03:14:17,369 --> 03:14:20,172
front of unit five flexible?

5544
03:14:20,172 --> 03:14:22,175
Yeah I did actually I don't

5545
03:14:22,175 --> 03:14:23,576
really I don't park in that way

5546
03:14:23,576 --> 03:14:25,812
right now I pop them in tandem

5547
03:14:25,812 --> 03:14:29,480
you know so I think what this

5548
03:14:29,480 --> 03:14:31,840
is um suggesting and um just

5549
03:14:31,840 --> 03:14:33,484
having observations to my

5550
03:14:34,120 --> 03:14:35,721
colleagues is that your project

5551
03:14:35,721 --> 03:14:39,321
almost needs to go through a

5552
03:14:39,559 --> 03:14:42,595
site plan review um, that looks

5553
03:14:42,595 --> 03:14:45,650
at fire access, that looks at

5554
03:14:45,650 --> 03:14:48,650
overall parking, that looks at

5555
03:14:48,668 --> 03:14:52,268
open space, um, that looks at

5556
03:14:53,740 --> 03:14:55,742
safety sidewalk, um, pathways

5557
03:14:55,742 --> 03:14:57,143
for the front entry or rear

5558
03:14:57,143 --> 03:14:58,912
entries of your building.

5559
03:14:58,912 --> 03:15:00,280
So I'm just making some

5560
03:15:00,280 --> 03:15:02,280
observations now.

5561
03:15:02,849 --> 03:15:04,684
Um, I don't have an issue with

5562
03:15:04,684 --> 03:15:06,453
your proposed building, but I

5563
03:15:06,453 --> 03:15:08,155
do have an issue with the

5564
03:15:08,155 --> 03:15:09,589
location of that last building

5565
03:15:09,589 --> 03:15:11,424
and then how everything kind

5566
03:15:11,424 --> 03:15:13,260
of works together and you would

5567
03:15:13,260 --> 03:15:15,462
probably need to make some

5568
03:15:15,462 --> 03:15:15,929
modifications to um to allow

5569
03:15:15,929 --> 03:15:17,665
that.

5570
03:15:17,665 --> 03:15:19,333
So I'm just I don't know if

5571
03:15:19,333 --> 03:15:20,767
others might want to comment

5572
03:15:20,767 --> 03:15:22,602
there agree or they don't agree

5573
03:15:22,602 --> 03:15:23,203
but I'm just talking out loud.

5574
03:15:23,203 --> 03:15:25,203
Thank you.

5575
03:15:27,441 --> 03:15:29,420
Thank you MISS Barbarossa.

5576
03:15:29,420 --> 03:15:32,420
That that makes sense given

5577
03:15:32,213 --> 03:15:33,480
this is uh get given the

5578
03:15:33,480 --> 03:15:35,880
awesome properties belong to

5579
03:15:36,684 --> 03:15:38,118
them and uh, they should be uh,

5580
03:15:38,118 --> 03:15:38,653
effectively working with the

5581
03:15:38,653 --> 03:15:40,653
neighborhood.

5582
03:15:40,821 --> 03:15:42,489
Uh, MR. Hampton, do you have

5583
03:15:42,489 --> 03:15:42,723
any comments on the suggestion

5584
03:15:42,723 --> 03:15:44,723
?

5585
03:15:45,760 --> 03:15:46,930
Uh, especially as a potential

5586
03:15:46,930 --> 03:15:48,930
proviso.

5587
03:15:48,996 --> 03:15:51,396
No I don't okay.

5588
03:15:52,433 --> 03:15:52,934
And what uh, with that is there

5589
03:15:52,934 --> 03:15:54,602
a motion?

5590
03:15:54,602 --> 03:15:56,602
Yes.

5591
03:15:57,171 --> 03:16:00,341
Um, MADAM Chair, I would I

5592
03:16:00,341 --> 03:16:02,810
would like to I'm sorry, was

5593
03:16:02,810 --> 03:16:05,210
there another member comment?

5594
03:16:07,480 --> 03:16:07,348
Okay if not then MISS Berger

5595
03:16:07,348 --> 03:16:08,182
also.

5596
03:16:08,182 --> 03:16:10,182
Okay.

5597
03:16:10,752 --> 03:16:13,954
Um, MADAM Chair, I like to put

5598
03:16:13,954 --> 03:16:15,390
forward, um, a motion

5599
03:16:15,390 --> 03:16:17,592
of approval with the proviso

5600
03:16:17,592 --> 03:16:19,992
that the project undergoes

5601
03:16:20,610 --> 03:16:22,461
urban design site planning

5602
03:16:24,433 --> 03:16:27,433
review with bpd um and

5603
03:16:28,904 --> 03:16:31,572
potentially btd to review um

5604
03:16:31,572 --> 03:16:34,572
car access to the development

5605
03:16:35,410 --> 03:16:38,410
to ensure like safety fire

5606
03:16:38,847 --> 03:16:41,847
department fire um truck access

5607
03:16:41,917 --> 03:16:44,317
and maneuverability and to

5608
03:16:45,320 --> 03:16:47,720
review the overall final

5609
03:16:47,990 --> 03:16:51,590
location of the of the proposed

5610
03:16:52,427 --> 03:16:54,863
building uh and to um promote

5611
03:16:54,863 --> 03:16:58,901
uh a good balance of open and

5612
03:16:58,901 --> 03:17:02,137
green space to that of um

5613
03:17:02,137 --> 03:17:04,606
driveway area and also to allow

5614
03:17:04,606 --> 03:17:07,606
for adequate vegetation to a

5615
03:17:08,244 --> 03:17:11,244
butter the rear abutters to

5616
03:17:11,280 --> 03:17:12,514
provide uh, privacy due to the

5617
03:17:12,514 --> 03:17:13,150
proximity of the proposed

5618
03:17:13,150 --> 03:17:15,150
project.

5619
03:17:16,251 --> 03:17:17,653
So MR. Browser, just to clarify

5620
03:17:17,653 --> 03:17:19,889
when you say site planning do

5621
03:17:19,889 --> 03:17:21,490
you mean to encompass all seven

5622
03:17:21,490 --> 03:17:24,159
properties or just correct to

5623
03:17:24,159 --> 03:17:27,759
make to the site planning which

5624
03:17:28,764 --> 03:17:30,330
is um to look at it as a as a

5625
03:17:30,330 --> 03:17:30,366
completion of a development

5626
03:17:30,366 --> 03:17:32,366
design?

5627
03:17:32,535 --> 03:17:34,137
To be clear, we're referencing

5628
03:17:34,137 --> 03:17:35,805
all uh seven properties.

5629
03:17:35,805 --> 03:17:38,805
Uh is there a direct.

5630
03:17:39,375 --> 03:17:41,775
Is there a second?

5631
03:17:45,800 --> 03:17:46,549
Second I have MR. Stonebridge.

5632
03:17:46,549 --> 03:17:48,549
Yeah.

5633
03:17:53,223 --> 03:17:54,691
MR. Valencia just is Tara no.

5634
03:17:54,691 --> 03:17:56,926
I personally like to see a

5635
03:17:56,926 --> 03:17:59,326
better community process um,

5636
03:17:59,529 --> 03:18:01,998
with the current projects and

5637
03:18:01,998 --> 03:18:03,432
then maybe going like seeing

5638
03:18:03,432 --> 03:18:05,401
where to go forward from there.

5639
03:18:05,401 --> 03:18:07,370
But, um, depending on how this

5640
03:18:07,370 --> 03:18:08,838
vote goes, I just really would

5641
03:18:08,838 --> 03:18:10,474
like to ask the applicant to,

5642
03:18:10,474 --> 03:18:11,241
um, have a better process with

5643
03:18:11,241 --> 03:18:11,841
their neighbors.

5644
03:18:11,841 --> 03:18:13,777
Thank you.

5645
03:18:13,777 --> 03:18:15,777
This better Rasa?

5646
03:18:16,279 --> 03:18:18,279
Yes.

5647
03:18:18,749 --> 03:18:19,249
MISS.

5648
03:18:19,249 --> 03:18:19,883
We will.

5649
03:18:19,883 --> 03:18:21,883
Yes.

5650
03:18:22,419 --> 03:18:24,419
MR. Langham?

5651
03:18:24,888 --> 03:18:26,888
No.

5652
03:18:29,893 --> 03:18:30,860
The chair also votes no, the

5653
03:18:30,860 --> 03:18:33,230
motion does not carry.

5654
03:18:33,230 --> 03:18:36,230
Is there a second motion?

5655
03:18:38,435 --> 03:18:40,471
Um, I'd like to put forward a

5656
03:18:40,471 --> 03:18:42,873
motion of the denial without

5657
03:18:42,873 --> 03:18:44,474
prejudice so that the, um,

5658
03:18:44,474 --> 03:18:45,909
applicant can go and talk to

5659
03:18:45,909 --> 03:18:47,770
their neighbors and then come

5660
03:18:47,770 --> 03:18:47,444
back to us with a better

5661
03:18:47,444 --> 03:18:49,444
proposal.

5662
03:18:50,581 --> 03:18:52,981
Is there a second?

5663
03:18:53,984 --> 03:18:56,887
Yes a second, MR. Semaj.

5664
03:18:56,887 --> 03:18:58,887
Yes.

5665
03:19:03,560 --> 03:19:03,827
MR. Valencia yes, MISS Turner

5666
03:19:03,827 --> 03:19:05,827
yes.

5667
03:19:07,832 --> 03:19:08,298
Uh I'm sorry I keep the MISS

5668
03:19:08,298 --> 03:19:10,298
Better browser.

5669
03:19:14,105 --> 03:19:14,405
Uh, yes, and I would encourage

5670
03:19:14,405 --> 03:19:16,405
that.

5671
03:19:16,640 --> 03:19:19,770
Um, the revised proposal now

5672
03:19:19,770 --> 03:19:22,770
looks at it holistically and

5673
03:19:22,546 --> 03:19:25,546
has conversations with, um, bfd

5674
03:19:25,616 --> 03:19:26,817
the Boston Fire Department, btd

5675
03:19:26,817 --> 03:19:28,486
uh, Boston Transportation

5676
03:19:28,486 --> 03:19:30,486
Transportation Department and

5677
03:19:30,888 --> 03:19:34,488
it might also be helpful to

5678
03:19:35,159 --> 03:19:36,628
have conversations with bpd uh

5679
03:19:36,628 --> 03:19:38,630
to address some of the issues

5680
03:19:38,630 --> 03:19:38,964
that was raised in this in this

5681
03:19:38,964 --> 03:19:40,964
meeting.

5682
03:19:41,266 --> 03:19:42,533
Thank you as well.

5683
03:19:42,533 --> 03:19:44,533
Yes.

5684
03:19:45,236 --> 03:19:47,236
MR. Langham yes.

5685
03:19:47,705 --> 03:19:48,673
Chair votes yes.

5686
03:19:48,673 --> 03:19:50,673
The motion carries.

5687
03:19:52,100 --> 03:19:54,100
Thank you.

5688
03:19:58,817 --> 03:20:00,180
Next we go to the read

5689
03:20:00,180 --> 03:20:01,586
discussion case is scheduled

5690
03:20:01,586 --> 03:20:03,586
for 11:30 A.M..

5691
03:20:06,658 --> 03:20:10,258
We'll begin with the first case

5692
03:20:13,365 --> 03:20:16,365
which is case voa 1826508 with

5693
03:20:17,836 --> 03:20:18,170
the address of 4018401 Chelsea

5694
03:20:18,170 --> 03:20:20,170
Street.

5695
03:20:22,808 --> 03:20:24,643
And the applicant and those who

5696
03:20:24,643 --> 03:20:26,645
are representing the PRESIDENT

5697
03:20:26,645 --> 03:20:27,145
I told you we're going to

5698
03:20:27,145 --> 03:20:28,130
report it.

5699
03:20:28,130 --> 03:20:29,181
Yes.

5700
03:20:29,181 --> 03:20:30,616
Thank you MRS. Beverage.

5701
03:20:30,616 --> 03:20:31,983
Good afternoon, MADAM Chair.

5702
03:20:31,983 --> 03:20:32,985
Members of the board for the

5703
03:20:32,985 --> 03:20:35,385
record Richard lands the

5704
03:20:35,420 --> 03:20:36,622
business address 245 Center

5705
03:20:36,622 --> 03:20:38,690
Street East Boston here on

5706
03:20:38,690 --> 03:20:40,726
behalf of petitioner which is

5707
03:20:40,726 --> 03:20:42,995
the 348 Hamilton Street llc.

5708
03:20:42,995 --> 03:20:44,396
Uh, I believe we MAY have a

5709
03:20:44,396 --> 03:20:45,698
heart attack David Choi with us

5710
03:20:45,698 --> 03:20:46,265
as well, but I'll run through

5711
03:20:46,265 --> 03:20:48,000
the presentation.

5712
03:20:48,000 --> 03:20:49,402
Um, and the very specific

5713
03:20:49,402 --> 03:20:51,237
questions that require

5714
03:20:51,237 --> 03:20:53,439
responsible I'll call them up.

5715
03:20:53,439 --> 03:20:55,607
Um, we could probably jump down

5716
03:20:55,607 --> 03:20:56,410
to slide three to start

5717
03:20:56,410 --> 03:20:58,410
conversation.

5718
03:20:59,979 --> 03:21:01,614
Um, this is a preexisting, uh,

5719
03:21:01,614 --> 03:21:01,881
three story building both here

5720
03:21:01,881 --> 03:21:03,282
.

5721
03:21:03,282 --> 03:21:03,616
Day square neighborhood is

5722
03:21:03,616 --> 03:21:05,616
Boston.

5723
03:21:08,588 --> 03:21:09,455
Um, it sits on a roughly 1800

5724
03:21:09,455 --> 03:21:11,855
to 890 square foot lot.

5725
03:21:13,126 --> 03:21:14,360
Uh, currently occupied by uh,

5726
03:21:14,360 --> 03:21:16,195
building that's mixed use with

5727
03:21:16,195 --> 03:21:18,197
ground level retail facing

5728
03:21:18,197 --> 03:21:19,198
Chelsea Street with two

5729
03:21:19,198 --> 03:21:21,198
residential units above.

5730
03:21:22,235 --> 03:21:23,636
Our proposal would involve the

5731
03:21:23,636 --> 03:21:25,872
,uh, renovation of the

5732
03:21:25,872 --> 03:21:27,674
existing structure uh, a

5733
03:21:27,674 --> 03:21:29,876
vertical and uh, rear addition

5734
03:21:29,876 --> 03:21:31,911
to the building, a change

5735
03:21:31,911 --> 03:21:33,346
of occupancy from the existing

5736
03:21:33,346 --> 03:21:35,746
occupancy of two residential

5737
03:21:35,982 --> 03:21:38,852
units a retail to retail with a

5738
03:21:38,852 --> 03:21:40,200
total of nine residential units

5739
03:21:40,200 --> 03:21:42,550
because this would be

5740
03:21:42,550 --> 03:21:43,890
increasing the total number

5741
03:21:43,890 --> 03:21:45,492
of units over the article 79

5742
03:21:45,492 --> 03:21:47,727
threshold, the seven units that

5743
03:21:47,727 --> 03:21:49,362
are being proposed uh would be

5744
03:21:49,362 --> 03:21:49,629
subject to the idp requirements

5745
03:21:49,629 --> 03:21:51,629
.

5746
03:21:52,665 --> 03:21:54,467
Uh, that 70% would require the

5747
03:21:54,467 --> 03:21:56,669
commitment of one idp unit

5748
03:21:56,669 --> 03:21:58,705
which we will deal with uh with

5749
03:21:58,705 --> 03:22:00,140
the Mayor's Office of Housing.

5750
03:22:00,140 --> 03:22:02,109
Um, in connection with this

5751
03:22:02,109 --> 03:22:04,311
application, uh, we want to

5752
03:22:04,311 --> 03:22:07,311
jump down to slide five.

5753
03:22:12,152 --> 03:22:14,152
Next slide please.

5754
03:22:16,990 --> 03:22:17,257
Uh, so, uh, good overview here

5755
03:22:17,257 --> 03:22:18,792
.

5756
03:22:18,792 --> 03:22:20,828
Uh, MADAM CHAIRMAN is the board

5757
03:22:20,828 --> 03:22:21,195
showing the surrounding media

5758
03:22:21,195 --> 03:22:23,195
contacts?

5759
03:22:23,363 --> 03:22:25,766
Uh, this section of the square

5760
03:22:25,766 --> 03:22:27,340
uh, is where the former, uh,

5761
03:22:27,340 --> 03:22:27,568
Giovanni's restaurant location

5762
03:22:27,568 --> 03:22:29,200
used to be.

5763
03:22:29,200 --> 03:22:31,380
This property was part of that

5764
03:22:31,380 --> 03:22:33,240
,uh, assemblage of properties

5765
03:22:33,240 --> 03:22:34,875
that were recently sold, uh, in

5766
03:22:34,875 --> 03:22:35,243
connection with each of these

5767
03:22:35,243 --> 03:22:37,243
property.

5768
03:22:38,446 --> 03:22:39,847
Um, this is not attached to the

5769
03:22:39,847 --> 03:22:41,382
buildings adjacent to it, but

5770
03:22:41,382 --> 03:22:42,583
uh, as you can see, we do have

5771
03:22:42,583 --> 03:22:43,351
a little bit of space behind

5772
03:22:43,351 --> 03:22:45,351
our building.

5773
03:22:45,353 --> 03:22:47,555
Uh, most of the buildings uh,

5774
03:22:47,555 --> 03:22:49,990
along this quarter, uh, do have

5775
03:22:49,990 --> 03:22:50,491
front to back um, uh, built out

5776
03:22:50,491 --> 03:22:52,491
conditions.

5777
03:22:52,626 --> 03:22:54,195
Uh, you can see the

5778
03:22:54,195 --> 03:22:55,196
relationship here which I think

5779
03:22:55,196 --> 03:22:57,865
is relevant to the discussion

5780
03:22:57,865 --> 03:22:59,667
about particular weeks of uh if

5781
03:22:59,667 --> 03:23:02,670
we could jump down to slide um

5782
03:23:02,670 --> 03:23:04,105
,uh, it's for this slide is uh

5783
03:23:04,105 --> 03:23:04,439
it's probably a better view for

5784
03:23:04,439 --> 03:23:06,439
Street.

5785
03:23:06,474 --> 03:23:08,109
Yeah.

5786
03:23:08,109 --> 03:23:10,479
Instead of building here is the

5787
03:23:10,479 --> 03:23:11,479
gray building, um, with the

5788
03:23:11,479 --> 03:23:13,247
grandmother retail.

5789
03:23:13,247 --> 03:23:14,449
As you can see, joining

5790
03:23:14,449 --> 03:23:14,782
buildings are similar in

5791
03:23:14,782 --> 03:23:16,782
height.

5792
03:23:16,951 --> 03:23:18,520
Uh, the current condition our

5793
03:23:18,520 --> 03:23:20,155
building would, uh, be in

5794
03:23:20,155 --> 03:23:22,156
increasing uh, building two

5795
03:23:22,156 --> 03:23:24,792
stories I would point out this

5796
03:23:24,792 --> 03:23:26,795
is in the uh I'll use the term

5797
03:23:26,795 --> 03:23:28,229
relatively newer zoning

5798
03:23:28,229 --> 03:23:31,660
subdistrict uh, there is the

5799
03:23:31,660 --> 03:23:33,235
mixed use district uh, that was

5800
03:23:33,235 --> 03:23:35,270
part of um uh the change that

5801
03:23:35,270 --> 03:23:36,871
was uh are they planning Boston

5802
03:23:36,871 --> 03:23:38,507
zoning changes for the

5803
03:23:38,507 --> 03:23:40,907
neighborhood which allows for

5804
03:23:40,909 --> 03:23:41,242
up to five stories and 65ft the

5805
03:23:41,242 --> 03:23:43,242
height?

5806
03:23:43,612 --> 03:23:45,280
Uh, one thing I will point out

5807
03:23:45,280 --> 03:23:47,820
is that because this property

5808
03:23:47,820 --> 03:23:48,450
is located in relative close

5809
03:23:48,450 --> 03:23:50,652
proximity to one way 15

5810
03:23:50,652 --> 03:23:52,120
of Logan Airport, uh, we did a

5811
03:23:52,120 --> 03:23:53,550
critical height evaluation for

5812
03:23:53,550 --> 03:23:54,623
this property.

5813
03:23:54,623 --> 03:23:56,992
Um, and the critical height

5814
03:23:56,992 --> 03:23:58,160
limit for this area is 98ft

5815
03:23:58,160 --> 03:24:00,160
above sea level.

5816
03:24:00,729 --> 03:24:02,598
Uh, our building with its

5817
03:24:02,598 --> 03:24:04,199
current site elevation of 18ft,

5818
03:24:04,199 --> 03:24:05,801
uh, with the total building

5819
03:24:05,801 --> 03:24:07,436
height of 48ft will still be

5820
03:24:07,436 --> 03:24:09,371
below the critical height.

5821
03:24:09,371 --> 03:24:10,973
But it, uh, we still are

5822
03:24:10,973 --> 03:24:12,973
required to provide

5823
03:24:13,900 --> 03:24:14,210
notification of the faa, uh, in

5824
03:24:14,210 --> 03:24:15,878
connection with any rules that

5825
03:24:15,878 --> 03:24:16,345
are received before building

5826
03:24:16,345 --> 03:24:17,880
permit.

5827
03:24:17,880 --> 03:24:19,150
Uh, these issues I just want to

5828
03:24:19,150 --> 03:24:20,416
point out to the board that we

5829
03:24:20,416 --> 03:24:22,452
are sensitive, uh, to its

5830
03:24:22,452 --> 03:24:23,619
proximity to regulations, uh,

5831
03:24:23,619 --> 03:24:24,386
especially anything in the

5832
03:24:24,386 --> 03:24:26,386
eighth gray area.

5833
03:24:26,489 --> 03:24:28,889
Uh, next slide please.

5834
03:24:31,126 --> 03:24:32,294
Just a different view here and

5835
03:24:32,294 --> 03:24:32,828
you can see again the

5836
03:24:32,828 --> 03:24:34,597
surrounding context.

5837
03:24:34,597 --> 03:24:35,980
It is uh generally mixed use in

5838
03:24:35,980 --> 03:24:37,980
this area.

5839
03:24:37,199 --> 03:24:39,636
So we do have a number of how

5840
03:24:39,636 --> 03:24:40,202
dealt with uh upper level

5841
03:24:40,202 --> 03:24:41,971
residential units.

5842
03:24:41,971 --> 03:24:44,371
Uh next slide please.

5843
03:24:46,209 --> 03:24:47,844
Uh it's the zoning refusal code

5844
03:24:47,844 --> 03:24:49,679
for that in a moment we just to

5845
03:24:49,679 --> 03:24:52,248
out of slide 14 uh, that will

5846
03:24:52,248 --> 03:24:53,649
get us to uh probably what we

5847
03:24:53,649 --> 03:24:55,352
need for purposes of the site

5848
03:24:55,352 --> 03:24:56,520
plan to zoom in and look at

5849
03:24:56,520 --> 03:24:58,920
that right side area.

5850
03:24:59,322 --> 03:25:01,524
Uh, so you can see the, um,

5851
03:25:01,524 --> 03:25:03,927
images here do, uh, illustrate

5852
03:25:03,927 --> 03:25:05,562
how we propose to develop the

5853
03:25:05,562 --> 03:25:07,196
site with the addition and what

5854
03:25:07,196 --> 03:25:08,798
the context of the building

5855
03:25:08,798 --> 03:25:10,670
would be the height uh, I know

5856
03:25:10,670 --> 03:25:11,267
this came out of the community

5857
03:25:11,267 --> 03:25:12,669
process that, you know, our

5858
03:25:12,669 --> 03:25:14,504
building certainly will be

5859
03:25:14,504 --> 03:25:15,400
taller than the buildings that

5860
03:25:15,400 --> 03:25:17,400
are near it.

5861
03:25:17,407 --> 03:25:19,760
Uh, but that is I guess one

5862
03:25:19,760 --> 03:25:21,770
of the outcomes of planning

5863
03:25:21,770 --> 03:25:23,460
Splost in areas like this.

5864
03:25:23,460 --> 03:25:24,347
Uh, we're targeted for

5865
03:25:24,347 --> 03:25:26,550
additional height density based

5866
03:25:26,550 --> 03:25:27,160
upon, uh, the size of the

5867
03:25:27,160 --> 03:25:28,251
streets.

5868
03:25:28,251 --> 03:25:29,190
So these are main thoroughfares

5869
03:25:29,190 --> 03:25:31,190
through Boston.

5870
03:25:31,822 --> 03:25:34,224
Uh, and or something we will.

5871
03:25:34,224 --> 03:25:36,426
And the city department in its

5872
03:25:36,426 --> 03:25:38,950
wisdom, um, decided that these

5873
03:25:38,950 --> 03:25:39,290
areas could accommodate more

5874
03:25:39,290 --> 03:25:40,964
high density.

5875
03:25:40,964 --> 03:25:41,899
Uh, and that has been the focus

5876
03:25:41,899 --> 03:25:42,732
of a lot of that new

5877
03:25:42,732 --> 03:25:43,967
development that's been

5878
03:25:43,967 --> 03:25:44,735
happening around, uh, the the

5879
03:25:44,735 --> 03:25:46,404
square neighborhood.

5880
03:25:46,404 --> 03:25:47,504
As you can see on the right

5881
03:25:47,504 --> 03:25:49,407
side we're able to zoom in.

5882
03:25:49,407 --> 03:25:51,375
Uh, MR. Ambassador, we do show,

5883
03:25:51,375 --> 03:25:53,777
uh, the area that we are

5884
03:25:53,777 --> 03:25:55,179
filling in, um, and we can see

5885
03:25:55,179 --> 03:25:58,179
the setback on the Pennington

5886
03:25:58,249 --> 03:25:59,850
Street side is probably about

5887
03:25:59,850 --> 03:26:01,319
4.25ft, which directly

5888
03:26:01,319 --> 03:26:02,887
addresses one of the violations

5889
03:26:02,887 --> 03:26:04,755
that were cited that we

5890
03:26:04,755 --> 03:26:05,289
referenced by the department's

5891
03:26:05,289 --> 03:26:07,258
recommendation.

5892
03:26:07,258 --> 03:26:07,558
Uh, we go down to the next

5893
03:26:07,558 --> 03:26:09,558
slide.

5894
03:26:17,680 --> 03:26:19,103
Uh, we have the refusal letter

5895
03:26:19,103 --> 03:26:20,710
I think go further about maybe

5896
03:26:20,710 --> 03:26:22,206
two more slides here.

5897
03:26:22,206 --> 03:26:24,206
Slide 14 slide.

5898
03:26:26,344 --> 03:26:28,344
Okay.

5899
03:26:29,114 --> 03:26:30,515
Yeah we'd stop uh so again just

5900
03:26:30,515 --> 03:26:32,830
a couple of different views

5901
03:26:32,830 --> 03:26:33,718
images uh, to give an idea

5902
03:26:33,718 --> 03:26:35,720
of what the finished product

5903
03:26:35,720 --> 03:26:38,156
will also look like and what it

5904
03:26:38,156 --> 03:26:39,570
looks like in context with the

5905
03:26:39,570 --> 03:26:39,390
surrounding but next slide

5906
03:26:39,390 --> 03:26:41,390
please.

5907
03:26:43,861 --> 03:26:45,960
Existing condition floor plans

5908
03:26:45,960 --> 03:26:47,265
uh just showing the existing

5909
03:26:47,265 --> 03:26:48,900
retail on the ground level uh

5910
03:26:48,900 --> 03:26:49,200
existing residential next

5911
03:26:49,200 --> 03:26:51,200
slide.

5912
03:26:53,772 --> 03:26:55,607
And then our proposed

5913
03:26:55,607 --> 03:26:57,408
conditions the ground level is

5914
03:26:57,408 --> 03:26:57,742
at the bottom portion of the

5915
03:26:57,742 --> 03:26:58,877
screen.

5916
03:26:58,877 --> 03:27:00,445
MADAM Chair members of the

5917
03:27:00,445 --> 03:27:02,800
board we do show uh Ada

5918
03:27:02,800 --> 03:27:02,380
accessible unit at the ground

5919
03:27:02,380 --> 03:27:04,282
level.

5920
03:27:04,282 --> 03:27:06,118
Uh we are not located in a

5921
03:27:06,118 --> 03:27:07,352
flood zone so no issues with

5922
03:27:07,352 --> 03:27:08,653
respect to our elevation.

5923
03:27:08,653 --> 03:27:09,655
Uh, that was affect having

5924
03:27:09,655 --> 03:27:11,790
cabinet believe that level.

5925
03:27:11,790 --> 03:27:13,250
Uh, we do provide an

5926
03:27:13,250 --> 03:27:13,959
appropriate means of access

5927
03:27:13,959 --> 03:27:15,959
into the unit.

5928
03:27:16,261 --> 03:27:16,662
Um, you can just jump back to

5929
03:27:16,662 --> 03:27:17,129
that slide.

5930
03:27:17,129 --> 03:27:19,129
Sorry.

5931
03:27:20,933 --> 03:27:22,768
Uh, in the middle we can see

5932
03:27:22,768 --> 03:27:24,770
the typical floor layout for

5933
03:27:24,770 --> 03:27:26,371
the units, uh, that are maybe

5934
03:27:26,371 --> 03:27:28,407
on levels two and five and then

5935
03:27:28,407 --> 03:27:31,644
our roof plan uh, showing that

5936
03:27:31,644 --> 03:27:33,279
we do incorporate uh, the

5937
03:27:33,279 --> 03:27:33,579
mechanicals about the roof

5938
03:27:33,579 --> 03:27:34,813
line.

5939
03:27:34,813 --> 03:27:36,813
Next slide please.

5940
03:27:39,252 --> 03:27:40,653
Uh, just our elevations showing

5941
03:27:40,653 --> 03:27:42,288
that overall height.

5942
03:27:42,288 --> 03:27:44,490
I think we indicated that just

5943
03:27:44,490 --> 03:27:46,890
over 43 uh, total height.

5944
03:27:47,590 --> 03:27:48,694
Um, and this would be

5945
03:27:48,694 --> 03:27:50,694
preserving existing structure

5946
03:27:51,530 --> 03:27:53,565
and um, doing these as uh,

5947
03:27:53,565 --> 03:27:54,533
renovations and additions to

5948
03:27:54,533 --> 03:27:56,533
the existing building.

5949
03:27:56,769 --> 03:27:58,371
Obviously this will include an

5950
03:27:58,371 --> 03:27:58,705
upgrade to all of the life

5951
03:27:58,705 --> 03:28:00,439
safety.

5952
03:28:00,439 --> 03:28:01,641
Uh, I'll turn quickly to just

5953
03:28:01,641 --> 03:28:04,100
the relief that is cited.

5954
03:28:04,100 --> 03:28:05,440
Um, first would be the roof

5955
03:28:05,440 --> 03:28:06,846
structure restrictions on

5956
03:28:06,846 --> 03:28:08,448
article 53, section 25.

5957
03:28:08,448 --> 03:28:09,849
Uh, the Boston zoning code

5958
03:28:09,849 --> 03:28:11,484
requires a conditional use

5959
03:28:11,484 --> 03:28:13,530
permit any time you're altering

5960
03:28:13,530 --> 03:28:13,553
the roof line is the same

5961
03:28:13,553 --> 03:28:15,521
structure.

5962
03:28:15,521 --> 03:28:17,357
Uh, my position is that this

5963
03:28:17,357 --> 03:28:19,191
typically involves, uh, when

5964
03:28:19,191 --> 03:28:20,960
you are proposing either a, uh

5965
03:28:20,960 --> 03:28:22,796
,had a house or roof deck or

5966
03:28:22,796 --> 03:28:23,562
some other type of structure on

5967
03:28:23,562 --> 03:28:25,562
an existing roof.

5968
03:28:25,598 --> 03:28:27,200
Uh, because we are proposing,

5969
03:28:27,200 --> 03:28:29,350
uh, complete renovation with

5970
03:28:29,350 --> 03:28:30,170
the uh, vertical addition that

5971
03:28:30,170 --> 03:28:32,639
is within the height limit.

5972
03:28:32,639 --> 03:28:34,106
Uh, we believe that is all

5973
03:28:34,106 --> 03:28:36,109
encompassing under the current

5974
03:28:36,109 --> 03:28:37,344
version of article 53 that

5975
03:28:37,344 --> 03:28:38,745
addresses the allowable height.

5976
03:28:38,745 --> 03:28:40,146
So even though a conditional

5977
03:28:40,146 --> 03:28:41,782
use permit is typically

5978
03:28:41,782 --> 03:28:42,949
required for restructured

5979
03:28:42,949 --> 03:28:44,183
restrictions, uh, this is an

5980
03:28:44,183 --> 03:28:45,185
actual renovation of the

5981
03:28:45,185 --> 03:28:47,186
building and should be

5982
03:28:47,186 --> 03:28:48,822
permitted uh, without uh the

5983
03:28:48,822 --> 03:28:49,155
need for even a conditional use

5984
03:28:49,155 --> 03:28:50,891
permit.

5985
03:28:50,891 --> 03:28:53,293
However we have applied for

5986
03:28:53,293 --> 03:28:53,660
that to use that report 1820

5987
03:28:53,660 --> 03:28:54,962
necessary.

5988
03:28:54,962 --> 03:28:56,430
We're also cited for

5989
03:28:56,430 --> 03:28:56,663
insufficient off street parking

5990
03:28:56,663 --> 03:28:58,465
.

5991
03:28:58,465 --> 03:28:59,599
Uh, this comes up regularly now

5992
03:28:59,599 --> 03:29:01,668
uh, with the mixed use

5993
03:29:01,668 --> 03:29:03,504
districts mixed use districts

5994
03:29:03,504 --> 03:29:04,705
in the East, possibly a credit

5995
03:29:04,705 --> 03:29:07,541
card lots of whether or not

5996
03:29:07,541 --> 03:29:09,577
being subject to article 80,

5997
03:29:09,577 --> 03:29:10,378
uh, are exempt from the minimum

5998
03:29:10,378 --> 03:29:12,378
parking requirements.

5999
03:29:13,146 --> 03:29:14,214
Uh footnote four to table l

6000
03:29:14,214 --> 03:29:16,384
specifically spells that out.

6001
03:29:16,384 --> 03:29:16,750
Uh, we did raise that with the

6002
03:29:16,750 --> 03:29:17,852
examiner.

6003
03:29:17,852 --> 03:29:19,987
Uh, was not removed.

6004
03:29:19,987 --> 03:29:21,589
Uh, we do not believe this is a

6005
03:29:21,589 --> 03:29:23,457
violation based on, uh, the

6006
03:29:23,457 --> 03:29:24,992
plan reading table here forward

6007
03:29:24,992 --> 03:29:27,461
ask that the board not

6008
03:29:27,461 --> 03:29:29,630
requiring that we parking uh we

6009
03:29:29,630 --> 03:29:31,980
were also cited for the

6010
03:29:31,980 --> 03:29:32,666
conditional b through law uh,

6011
03:29:32,666 --> 03:29:34,702
because we do have struggled to

6012
03:29:34,702 --> 03:29:35,269
plug that into the street and

6013
03:29:35,269 --> 03:29:37,269
Chelsea Street.

6014
03:29:37,871 --> 03:29:39,730
Uh, the rear yard requirements

6015
03:29:39,730 --> 03:29:40,474
are not applicable.

6016
03:29:40,474 --> 03:29:42,443
The front yard requirements

6017
03:29:42,443 --> 03:29:43,644
would be uh we have two options

6018
03:29:43,644 --> 03:29:45,790
to achieve compliance.

6019
03:29:45,790 --> 03:29:46,914
One would be the setback that

6020
03:29:46,914 --> 03:29:49,116
we're currently showing for

6021
03:29:49,116 --> 03:29:50,718
125b uh we could also allow us

6022
03:29:50,718 --> 03:29:52,153
to do a bold study and we're

6023
03:29:52,153 --> 03:29:53,354
happy to deal with that within

6024
03:29:53,354 --> 03:29:55,557
the design review component.

6025
03:29:55,557 --> 03:29:58,192
Uh, should be uh uh should the

6026
03:29:58,192 --> 03:29:59,593
board approve this uh, so we we

6027
03:29:59,593 --> 03:30:01,229
feel that we can comply with

6028
03:30:01,229 --> 03:30:02,196
the front yard requirement with

6029
03:30:02,196 --> 03:30:04,196
the mall setback.

6030
03:30:04,198 --> 03:30:07,798
Uh, in either instance for the

6031
03:30:07,835 --> 03:30:09,504
the street um, uh, frontage um,

6032
03:30:09,504 --> 03:30:10,838
the maximum lot coverage for

6033
03:30:10,838 --> 03:30:12,838
this area is 75%.

6034
03:30:13,608 --> 03:30:15,410
Um, I do believe we are in

6035
03:30:15,410 --> 03:30:17,379
excess of a lot coverage but as

6036
03:30:17,379 --> 03:30:18,180
I showed before, uh, the

6037
03:30:18,180 --> 03:30:19,413
surrounding context

6038
03:30:19,413 --> 03:30:20,883
of buildings both left and

6039
03:30:20,883 --> 03:30:22,917
right, uh, and anything within

6040
03:30:22,917 --> 03:30:25,320
that sort of island within this

6041
03:30:25,320 --> 03:30:27,355
square, uh, pretty much

6042
03:30:27,355 --> 03:30:28,724
occupies most of the lot um, is

6043
03:30:28,724 --> 03:30:30,458
not uh, in excess well in

6044
03:30:30,458 --> 03:30:32,260
excess of 75%.

6045
03:30:32,260 --> 03:30:34,620
It would not be much different

6046
03:30:34,620 --> 03:30:35,196
than any of the buildings are

6047
03:30:35,196 --> 03:30:36,965
in the city.

6048
03:30:36,965 --> 03:30:38,000
Uh, we therefore what we

6049
03:30:38,000 --> 03:30:39,768
believe would be appropriate

6050
03:30:39,768 --> 03:30:41,536
for this instance uh, we've

6051
03:30:41,536 --> 03:30:43,171
also cited for the minimum

6052
03:30:43,171 --> 03:30:45,207
permeable area and not being

6053
03:30:45,207 --> 03:30:46,808
that it's a very low threshold

6054
03:30:46,808 --> 03:30:49,770
for this site that we won't be

6055
03:30:49,770 --> 03:30:51,477
developed 275ft2 of permeable

6056
03:30:51,713 --> 03:30:53,548
area um, based upon where we're

6057
03:30:53,548 --> 03:30:55,584
setback currently both side and

6058
03:30:55,584 --> 03:30:57,219
from uh from I should say on

6059
03:30:57,219 --> 03:30:58,820
the street side of the building

6060
03:30:58,820 --> 03:31:00,623
uh I don't think we're that far

6061
03:31:00,623 --> 03:31:00,990
off so, uh, compliance is

6062
03:31:00,990 --> 03:31:02,524
necessary.

6063
03:31:02,524 --> 03:31:03,725
I believe that is achievable

6064
03:31:03,725 --> 03:31:05,361
and we can certainly again

6065
03:31:05,361 --> 03:31:05,694
address that through any design

6066
03:31:05,694 --> 03:31:07,396
review.

6067
03:31:07,396 --> 03:31:08,865
We were cited also for

6068
03:31:08,865 --> 03:31:09,980
insufficient side yard setback

6069
03:31:09,980 --> 03:31:11,980
.

6070
03:31:11,300 --> 03:31:12,935
Um, and that I believe in falls

6071
03:31:12,935 --> 03:31:14,536
approval we have chosen street

6072
03:31:14,536 --> 03:31:15,571
side the right side of the

6073
03:31:15,571 --> 03:31:16,772
building which is already a

6074
03:31:16,772 --> 03:31:18,772
preexisting condition.

6075
03:31:19,375 --> 03:31:21,177
Uh, the addition that we're

6076
03:31:21,177 --> 03:31:23,577
proposing uh, actually does

6077
03:31:23,612 --> 03:31:25,414
setback on that right side line

6078
03:31:25,414 --> 03:31:27,316
uh, we don't set it back on the

6079
03:31:27,316 --> 03:31:28,351
left but again, that being a

6080
03:31:28,351 --> 03:31:30,351
preexisting non-conforming

6081
03:31:30,753 --> 03:31:31,988
condition, we are exempt from

6082
03:31:31,988 --> 03:31:34,388
compliance provided that we

6083
03:31:35,224 --> 03:31:36,459
don't increase the, uh, the

6084
03:31:36,459 --> 03:31:36,960
nonconforming any more than it

6085
03:31:36,960 --> 03:31:38,495
already is.

6086
03:31:38,495 --> 03:31:39,896
Uh, and I believe in both

6087
03:31:39,896 --> 03:31:41,664
instances we do not do that.

6088
03:31:41,664 --> 03:31:43,733
Uh, so therefore we would be in

6089
03:31:43,733 --> 03:31:45,535
compliance the exception for uh

6090
03:31:45,535 --> 03:31:47,536
the expression side yard

6091
03:31:47,536 --> 03:31:49,839
setback that was cited um,

6092
03:31:49,839 --> 03:31:52,242
again uh cited for insufficient

6093
03:31:52,242 --> 03:31:52,575
uh front yard which we already

6094
03:31:52,575 --> 03:31:54,575
address.

6095
03:31:54,945 --> 03:31:56,579
And then there is an additional

6096
03:31:56,579 --> 03:31:59,215
uh citation for minimum grounds

6097
03:31:59,215 --> 03:32:00,584
for ceiling height in two um in

6098
03:32:00,584 --> 03:32:02,652
the new in the new five

6099
03:32:02,652 --> 03:32:04,888
district any new constructions

6100
03:32:04,888 --> 03:32:06,356
requires a minimum of 14ft for

6101
03:32:06,356 --> 03:32:06,590
the ground level ceiling height

6102
03:32:06,590 --> 03:32:08,325
.

6103
03:32:08,325 --> 03:32:09,493
Uh, because we do have an

6104
03:32:09,493 --> 03:32:10,493
existing conviction that would

6105
03:32:10,493 --> 03:32:11,495
be a tremendous hardship to

6106
03:32:11,495 --> 03:32:13,960
change that for a ceiling

6107
03:32:13,960 --> 03:32:14,931
height, uh, especially since we

6108
03:32:14,931 --> 03:32:16,166
are preserving upper levels

6109
03:32:16,166 --> 03:32:17,868
of level two and level three.

6110
03:32:17,868 --> 03:32:19,236
Uh, and therefore we think that

6111
03:32:19,236 --> 03:32:20,604
a variance would be appropriate

6112
03:32:20,604 --> 03:32:20,937
to the extent that that was

6113
03:32:20,937 --> 03:32:22,937
helpful.

6114
03:32:23,340 --> 03:32:24,808
Um, with that, MADAM Chair, I

6115
03:32:24,808 --> 03:32:26,443
will pause to see if there are

6116
03:32:26,443 --> 03:32:27,811
any questions the board uh,

6117
03:32:27,811 --> 03:32:28,111
address any comments or we

6118
03:32:28,111 --> 03:32:30,111
have.

6119
03:32:30,180 --> 03:32:32,180
Thank you.

6120
03:32:33,830 --> 03:32:35,483
Questions from the board.

6121
03:32:36,753 --> 03:32:38,753
Yes.

6122
03:32:39,590 --> 03:32:42,359
MR. Lyons, have you considered

6123
03:32:42,359 --> 03:32:44,928
I mean, uh, and step back onto

6124
03:32:44,928 --> 03:32:46,731
the floor from the street to

6125
03:32:46,731 --> 03:32:48,199
reduce the massing and the

6126
03:32:48,199 --> 03:32:51,199
appearance from the street just

6127
03:32:51,902 --> 03:32:53,136
to make it I mean to make the

6128
03:32:53,136 --> 03:32:53,471
perception less tall for the

6129
03:32:53,471 --> 03:32:55,471
street?

6130
03:32:55,740 --> 03:32:57,307
Yeah.

6131
03:32:57,307 --> 03:32:59,509
MR. Muncie is a great question

6132
03:32:59,509 --> 03:33:01,946
and, uh, that is actually

6133
03:33:01,946 --> 03:33:03,948
required in certain areas uh, I

6134
03:33:03,948 --> 03:33:05,383
mean mixed use districts uh,

6135
03:33:05,383 --> 03:33:07,151
the new five district does

6136
03:33:07,151 --> 03:33:09,720
require a step back to the

6137
03:33:09,720 --> 03:33:11,188
extent that we are a a

6138
03:33:11,188 --> 03:33:13,588
residential district because we

6139
03:33:13,658 --> 03:33:14,992
are completely involved in the

6140
03:33:14,992 --> 03:33:16,561
five district.

6141
03:33:16,561 --> 03:33:17,528
Uh, we would be exempt from a

6142
03:33:17,528 --> 03:33:19,928
step back requirement but

6143
03:33:20,564 --> 03:33:22,200
something we can uh, certainly

6144
03:33:22,200 --> 03:33:23,601
review as part of any design

6145
03:33:23,601 --> 03:33:23,901
review if that's the desired

6146
03:33:23,901 --> 03:33:24,970
point.

6147
03:33:24,970 --> 03:33:25,436
All right.

6148
03:33:25,436 --> 03:33:26,537
Thanks.

6149
03:33:26,537 --> 03:33:28,537
Thank you.

6150
03:33:28,940 --> 03:33:29,474
Other questions or comments

6151
03:33:29,474 --> 03:33:31,474
from board?

6152
03:33:33,511 --> 03:33:35,513
Um I think I think the biggest

6153
03:33:35,513 --> 03:33:39,113
hurdle for this project is to

6154
03:33:41,185 --> 03:33:44,222
really meet um the maximum um

6155
03:33:44,222 --> 03:33:46,622
coverage uh the maximum

6156
03:33:48,527 --> 03:33:49,460
coverage of 70% and the minimum

6157
03:33:49,460 --> 03:33:51,460
permeable is 15.

6158
03:33:52,497 --> 03:33:53,865
Um, because I don't really see

6159
03:33:53,865 --> 03:33:55,100
I think it'll be great that

6160
03:33:55,100 --> 03:33:58,700
this will be the first building

6161
03:33:59,738 --> 03:34:02,140
that works with the new East

6162
03:34:02,140 --> 03:34:02,674
Boston zoning to allow five

6163
03:34:02,674 --> 03:34:04,409
stories.

6164
03:34:04,409 --> 03:34:05,143
Um, I don't really see that as

6165
03:34:05,143 --> 03:34:07,112
an issue.

6166
03:34:07,112 --> 03:34:08,447
I think you the last story

6167
03:34:08,447 --> 03:34:09,882
could be set back a little bit,

6168
03:34:09,882 --> 03:34:12,882
you know, maybe three feet.

6169
03:34:13,180 --> 03:34:14,854
Um, but I do see you know, I

6170
03:34:14,854 --> 03:34:17,289
would be more than happy to

6171
03:34:17,289 --> 03:34:19,291
approve the project if there

6172
03:34:19,291 --> 03:34:22,940
was a proviso that you could

6173
03:34:22,940 --> 03:34:23,662
work with the pd on the actual

6174
03:34:23,662 --> 03:34:25,662
lot coverage.

6175
03:34:26,832 --> 03:34:30,432
Um, and to work within the 70

6176
03:34:30,836 --> 03:34:33,472
even 75% that that to me is the

6177
03:34:33,472 --> 03:34:35,574
that the kind of zoning issue

6178
03:34:35,574 --> 03:34:37,176
um that I that I see and that

6179
03:34:37,176 --> 03:34:39,611
I've read from the bpu

6180
03:34:39,611 --> 03:34:41,414
recommendation I if I MAY chair

6181
03:34:41,414 --> 03:34:42,714
um it's better because I I

6182
03:34:42,714 --> 03:34:44,550
agree I think that if we could

6183
03:34:44,550 --> 03:34:46,952
do that we certainly um would

6184
03:34:46,952 --> 03:34:48,721
have gotten there um but yeah

6185
03:34:48,721 --> 03:34:52,325
in order to in order to make

6186
03:34:52,325 --> 03:34:54,326
that um lower level uh unit uh

6187
03:34:54,326 --> 03:34:54,794
at least on the ground level,

6188
03:34:54,794 --> 03:34:56,794
um.

6189
03:34:59,320 --> 03:35:00,466
A size that would be feasible

6190
03:35:00,466 --> 03:35:01,668
especially for persons with

6191
03:35:01,668 --> 03:35:02,702
disabilities inside, uh,

6192
03:35:02,702 --> 03:35:03,602
especially with the access

6193
03:35:03,602 --> 03:35:06,200
issues for the building.

6194
03:35:06,500 --> 03:35:08,700
Um, it is going to be difficult

6195
03:35:08,700 --> 03:35:10,407
to get to within 75%.

6196
03:35:10,610 --> 03:35:11,811
Um, and I think that our total

6197
03:35:11,811 --> 03:35:13,980
footprint in that instance

6198
03:35:13,980 --> 03:35:15,348
would be about 1400 around a

6199
03:35:15,348 --> 03:35:17,170
1400 square feet.

6200
03:35:17,170 --> 03:35:19,418
Uh, if we needed to comply with

6201
03:35:19,418 --> 03:35:21,621
that, uh, that's going to trim

6202
03:35:21,621 --> 03:35:24,758
that uh that additional um we

6203
03:35:24,758 --> 03:35:26,626
are um significantly and I

6204
03:35:26,626 --> 03:35:27,761
think it's going to create a

6205
03:35:27,761 --> 03:35:30,130
condition that's going to make

6206
03:35:30,130 --> 03:35:31,698
that a small so uh, happy to

6207
03:35:31,698 --> 03:35:33,990
work with planning on some

6208
03:35:33,990 --> 03:35:34,801
ideas to help soften that.

6209
03:35:34,801 --> 03:35:36,169
But I don't know that we're

6210
03:35:36,169 --> 03:35:37,571
going to get there um,

6211
03:35:37,571 --> 03:35:38,538
otherwise and I don't think

6212
03:35:38,538 --> 03:35:39,672
it's very viable.

6213
03:35:39,672 --> 03:35:40,240
Wait, why did you say

6214
03:35:40,240 --> 03:35:41,809
accessibility?

6215
03:35:41,809 --> 03:35:42,308
Because there's no you're not

6216
03:35:42,308 --> 03:35:43,677
changing.

6217
03:35:43,677 --> 03:35:46,112
It was noted that you're

6218
03:35:46,112 --> 03:35:47,213
leaving steps at the front that

6219
03:35:47,213 --> 03:35:47,614
the front entrance is not

6220
03:35:47,614 --> 03:35:49,349
accessible.

6221
03:35:49,349 --> 03:35:52,152
That's for the that's for the

6222
03:35:52,152 --> 03:35:53,253
retail the yeah the rear

6223
03:35:53,253 --> 03:35:54,220
addition on the Madison Street

6224
03:35:54,220 --> 03:35:56,223
side uh, does have a

6225
03:35:56,223 --> 03:35:57,223
residential it has a

6226
03:35:57,223 --> 03:35:59,590
residential where we're

6227
03:35:59,590 --> 03:36:01,262
proposing a residential unit at

6228
03:36:01,262 --> 03:36:02,629
grade and the at grade okay.

6229
03:36:02,629 --> 03:36:02,896
That is accessible.

6230
03:36:02,896 --> 03:36:03,296
Yep.

6231
03:36:03,296 --> 03:36:03,964
Correct.

6232
03:36:03,964 --> 03:36:04,598
Yeah.

6233
03:36:04,598 --> 03:36:06,598
Um.

6234
03:36:09,203 --> 03:36:10,137
Yeah I think something has to

6235
03:36:10,137 --> 03:36:12,137
give right.

6236
03:36:13,540 --> 03:36:14,975
And so then it takes you to is

6237
03:36:14,975 --> 03:36:16,977
your client willing to reduce

6238
03:36:16,977 --> 03:36:19,977
it from nine units because

6239
03:36:20,214 --> 03:36:21,982
we're asking you to comply with

6240
03:36:21,982 --> 03:36:24,982
the with the new zoning.

6241
03:36:26,620 --> 03:36:29,230
Um the other issue is do you

6242
03:36:29,230 --> 03:36:31,425
try to strategize and go to

6243
03:36:31,425 --> 03:36:33,227
four story and try to get

6244
03:36:33,227 --> 03:36:35,630
through with just one means

6245
03:36:35,630 --> 03:36:35,329
of egress which you can now do

6246
03:36:35,329 --> 03:36:37,329
?

6247
03:36:37,699 --> 03:36:41,899
So uh, because I know there's a

6248
03:36:42,403 --> 03:36:44,806
financial um uh condition that

6249
03:36:44,806 --> 03:36:46,608
you have to also review in

6250
03:36:46,608 --> 03:36:47,208
regards to density and and

6251
03:36:47,208 --> 03:36:49,208
construction costs.

6252
03:36:50,378 --> 03:36:53,247
So um that's where I was

6253
03:36:53,247 --> 03:36:55,483
wondering like how how flexible

6254
03:36:55,483 --> 03:36:55,984
were you willing with the nine

6255
03:36:55,984 --> 03:36:57,984
units?

6256
03:36:58,386 --> 03:37:00,755
Um, because then the other way

6257
03:37:00,755 --> 03:37:03,358
would be that the board says

6258
03:37:03,358 --> 03:37:07,428
does not approve it has to redo

6259
03:37:07,428 --> 03:37:08,829
you know, the room revised

6260
03:37:08,829 --> 03:37:09,397
request for you to revise the

6261
03:37:09,397 --> 03:37:11,397
whole project.

6262
03:37:12,000 --> 03:37:14,690
So I was trying to get a gauge

6263
03:37:14,690 --> 03:37:15,871
whether your client was willing

6264
03:37:15,871 --> 03:37:18,730
to work with bpd on that

6265
03:37:18,730 --> 03:37:19,474
massing um, concern always

6266
03:37:19,474 --> 03:37:21,476
willing to work with planning.

6267
03:37:21,476 --> 03:37:24,579
Um, the one thing I will point

6268
03:37:24,579 --> 03:37:26,381
out is that um esd and in

6269
03:37:26,381 --> 03:37:28,183
practice uh even though I don't

6270
03:37:28,183 --> 03:37:30,218
disagree with you that you

6271
03:37:30,218 --> 03:37:32,654
know, I have four stories one

6272
03:37:32,654 --> 03:37:35,890
means of egress would be

6273
03:37:35,890 --> 03:37:36,291
appropriate I think unless

6274
03:37:36,291 --> 03:37:38,360
there's been something that's

6275
03:37:38,360 --> 03:37:40,362
changed as of most recently.

6276
03:37:40,362 --> 03:37:41,363
Um I think we just dealt with

6277
03:37:41,363 --> 03:37:43,798
this in the last two weeks,

6278
03:37:43,798 --> 03:37:45,167
which is to is that they are

6279
03:37:45,167 --> 03:37:46,768
requiring you have a tune into

6280
03:37:46,768 --> 03:37:48,768
egress requirements so

6281
03:37:50,205 --> 03:37:52,641
regardless okay yeah so I I

6282
03:37:52,641 --> 03:37:56,245
agree I would love them to you

6283
03:37:56,245 --> 03:37:57,479
know um um review that um but

6284
03:37:57,479 --> 03:37:59,682
we're we're still running into

6285
03:37:59,682 --> 03:38:01,850
that issue depending who

6286
03:38:01,850 --> 03:38:04,654
examined so uh even at four

6287
03:38:04,654 --> 03:38:05,554
stories we're still going to

6288
03:38:05,554 --> 03:38:05,854
require that um to address

6289
03:38:05,854 --> 03:38:07,854
that.

6290
03:38:08,123 --> 03:38:09,425
Great.

6291
03:38:09,425 --> 03:38:09,792
Thank you I don't have any

6292
03:38:09,792 --> 03:38:11,792
questions.

6293
03:38:12,227 --> 03:38:13,996
Okay.

6294
03:38:13,996 --> 03:38:14,297
Any other questions from the

6295
03:38:14,297 --> 03:38:16,297
board?

6296
03:38:16,899 --> 03:38:19,899
It's quick question how many

6297
03:38:20,336 --> 03:38:21,538
idp idp units would you be um,

6298
03:38:21,538 --> 03:38:22,638
providing to a cpa and what

6299
03:38:22,638 --> 03:38:24,140
will be the income level?

6300
03:38:24,140 --> 03:38:26,140
Yeah.

6301
03:38:26,175 --> 03:38:29,145
Um I believe on this one.

6302
03:38:29,145 --> 03:38:31,147
MR. Lindsay at the um,

6303
03:38:31,147 --> 03:38:33,383
requirement is on a seven unit

6304
03:38:33,383 --> 03:38:36,383
to seven additional units we

6305
03:38:36,619 --> 03:38:39,422
were required to address at 17%

6306
03:38:39,422 --> 03:38:43,220
,uh, which comes to one unit

6307
03:38:45,610 --> 03:38:47,300
plus fire at 0.19% and see um

6308
03:38:47,300 --> 03:38:48,597
so b I believe this is a

6309
03:38:48,597 --> 03:38:50,400
category rental uh, and

6310
03:38:50,400 --> 03:38:52,969
therefore they would be at the

6311
03:38:52,969 --> 03:38:54,969
maximum am I 60%?

6312
03:38:56,573 --> 03:38:58,175
Thank you thank we could we

6313
03:38:58,175 --> 03:39:00,576
could opt to go to a second

6314
03:39:00,576 --> 03:39:01,778
unit or boy client but it all

6315
03:39:01,778 --> 03:39:04,414
depends on what the numbers

6316
03:39:04,414 --> 03:39:06,917
look like but maximum 60% on.

6317
03:39:06,917 --> 03:39:08,917
Thank you.

6318
03:39:09,285 --> 03:39:10,190
