Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um, I don't have an issue with this uh with this project. this plan. Um, my only concern is if the public was notified because when I drove by, I did not see a public notice sign. Um, um, but I will go with the will of the board. I don't know how we should proceed. I think our standard practice is if there is no sign uh notifying the public um that we would table this Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank Thank you, Mr. Proco. All right, chair recognizes Mr. Brier. Mr. Brier, the floor is yours, sir. Mr. Chairman, how are we going to proceed with this? Did you understand the question, ma'am? Did you have a sign? Um, public notice sign. Oh, the sign in front of the salon. Mhm. Oh, so I think the salon already have a sign for the hair salon. I just have a decal on the like the fly in front of the window. That's all. Yeah. Ma'am, can you bring the microphone down a little bit? So, sorry. Yes. There we go. Thank you. Appreciate it. I'm sorry. Can you can you just state that again, please? The sign.

I mean, yeah, the side. So, the side in the salon already have the side for the hair salon over there. So, only take I only put the decal in the window. Yeah. So, you're saying you do have a public notice sign on the window? Yeah. No, Mr. Chairman, if I may. Yeah. Go ahead, Mr. Bear. I think there's some misunderstanding talking about a public notice. Yeah. Not a sign representing your new business venture. A public notice is hanging where? The public notice. I do not really get it. So,

yeah. No, I think I think she's mistaken with signage for the business. I had no problem with with I in fact I was first I went to the the the health department and I thought that the health department going to take care of that and they went there and they tell me to come here and then Dylan and Peter should tell me to stop step by step until I'm here today. So yeah the rest I'm not really know yet. Okay. Well, I was prepared to wish you success on your new venture, but I think precedent says if the sign is not standing, we cannot proceed.

Nothing further, Mr. Chairman. Thank Thank you, Mr. Preer. Uh, chair recognizes Mr. McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy, the floor is yours, sir. I I I agree that I think we have to continue this until we uh receive um u the uh indication that you're indic you're providing the prerequisite required for variance which is to place a um a sign uh indicating that you're asking for uh variance for uh microb blading at this address. So um that's spelled out in the prerequisites for variance in the city zoning book. um and you can reach out to uh the planning department and get uh exactly what you need to do,

but it is a prerequisite and so I think we should continue this. Thank you. Thank Thank you, Mr. McCarthy. Uh the chair recognizes the vice chairman, Miss Kellen, the floor is yours, sir. Uh yes, three, Mr. Chairman. Excuse me. Yeah, I I agree that uh yeah, if there's no sign and you understand, ma'am, this for the purposes of notice to the public that you're here asking for that special permit, there has to be a specific particular sign out in front of the business for is it 14 days? Uh Mary D, I didn't know anything about that. I just Okay.

Yep. So, um Yep. So, you should reach out to the staff and um they'll guide you on how what you need to do. um she's just able to put it out in the like on the window sill or something and just as long as it's out there, right? So, just to have to post it on So, so just reach out to staff and um they'll go over it uh with you and what you need to what your requirements are. Uh but I would suggest that we continue this for the next uh meeting um give you the opportunity to do that because we just for the public public's purposes.

I mean, there's nobody here to object, but they may not have known because you didn't have the sign out. So um once that's done then I think we'll be in a better position um to address your special permit at that point. So thank you Mr. Chairman. Thank thank you Mr. Kellian. Uh ch organizers um Mr. Harvey M the floor is yours sir. Thank you. Um so Peter they need one for the variance the 500t from residential. Is that what I mean is that what we're looking for? Yeah. They're looking for a special per Yeah. and a variance from the looks like from the uh proximity to its school. Oh residential uh no to a school to a school not according to the notes.

I'm reading the uh right I did not draft the comments. Okay. So the comments say that I would refer to the comments.

Okay. So it's just the residential uh 500 feet from a residential neighborhood and the special permit. Okay. Um yeah, I don't have anything to add. Just speak to the um DPD and and so they can explain to you what sign you need to have displayed outside. Uh because I think if I remember correctly on this, it was advertised. They didn't have it in the paper the first time. That's why we continued it. So they're trying to do the right thing. I think there's just a breakdown of communication somewhere along the line. Thank Thank you, Mr. Hav. Uh, chair recognizes Mr. Shen. I'm seeing the floor, sir.

Uh, thank you. Yeah, just speak out, speak to somebody, just make sure you have compliance and we will revisit it um at a future date. Yeah. Thank Thank you, Mr. Shanhan. All right, ma'am. I think you heard the comments of the board. I think it'd be a nice business, but we can't really talk [clears throat] too much because there's no public notice. So once you meet all the it's it's the open meeting public notice requirements the laws the rules prerequisites then you'll come back we'll talk about everything. Okay ma'am. Yeah. All right. So we're just um continuing the matter to um the new year. Is is there an open slot in the next agenda or is it two two agendas out or I believe it no I believe we can

we can squeeze it in. Yeah. For the fifth. Okay. January. You have 12. Is that a holiday? No. 19th. All right. So, we'll continue the matter to the 12th of the new year, January. Yeah. All right.

The applicant is 394 Wuburn Street LLC. Um the petition loads and word appeals will hold a public hearing. Tell interested persons relative to an application by 394 Wuburn Street LLC to split the existing lot at 394 Wuburn Street to construct a single family home on the newly created lot. The subject properties located in traditional single family TSF zoning district. The existing lot will require advance approval per section 5.1 of the low zone board ordinance for relief from the minimum lot area requirements and for any other relief required in the low zoning ordinance. The home on the newly created lot will require varants under section 5.1 for the minimum front setback and for any relief car and load on ordinance. Good evening Mr. Thank you, members of the board. David Daly, uh the owner of 394 Wuben Street LLC, uh 40 Lillian Street, Lassu, uh is where I reside. Um thank you. I've here with me tonight was Matt Hammer from Lamplex Engineering. Happy to be before the board tonight to discuss this project. Um we acquired this project in early October. Um it's been under the uh microscope of the city of Lul um u for for for quite a while for for not good reasons. Um when we acquired the property, the uh seller had to pay almost $21,000 and and fees because of the um unsightly uh fines that were due to the due the as as you can see in some of the pictures we we provided tonight is all the debris uh that this was outside. that

unfortunately was the home of like a like a hoarder's house. Um so not only the inside of the house but unfortunately the outside um was affected as well bringing down the the neighboring property values and so we acquired it. We've already started the cleanup and you can see some of the pictures that we've started with some of the cleanup on the property. Um and um Matt will get into some of the engineering pieces but just a quick background. It consists of a single family house that kind of fronts on Wuben Street. Behind that's a very old and tired singlecar garage. It was probably original to the property. Um and then behind that is a twocar garage. Um our plan is to raise that single car garage and and in the next week or two we've already received permits to do so from the city of LOL. Um that would serve as the parking for that single family house. Uh we then proposed to subdivide the property. It it's consists of 14,000 ft² which is enough to subdivide is 7,000 ft² but uh due to the topography it just kind of works out and Matt can get into the details of uh one lot's going to be a little bit bigger than the other ones uh due to the size and layout of the property. So with that said we're um there's a two unit there's a twocar garage there. We're going to add a uh like a like a basically a 38x 26 box. So we're going to build a threebedroom 2 and 1 half bath home there. um in the existing house, we're going to add a small addition that's going to be within that footprint of where the addition is now. We're just going to go up two stories. So, it doesn't it's not going to create any more um need for variances or something. Uh we're just going to expand that footprint a little bit and um um you know, it's going to beautify the neighborhood. We already started working on it, cleaning out the property. Um, we're going to provide another, you know, uh, affordable market rate, sorry, market rate house for the city of L. Um, and, uh, clean that neighborhood up and we're excited to be part of this project. So, if I have any questions for me, but Matt's going to speak more to the engineering pieces. Thank you.

Thank Thank you, Mr. Daily. Uh, good evening, Mr. Hammer.

Good evening, uh, chair and members of the board. So this evening uh we're here requesting variances um uh for lot size and uh for a minimum uh maximum front yard on one of the lots. So as Mr. Dailyaly outlined uh this is a single family residence um currently at 394 uh Wuburn Street. There is associated with that two garages and we were able to lay out the lots. So, there would have been two 7,000 ft lots uh on this parcel, but due to the uh odd configuration of the lot, it seemed to make more sense to just square off the the lots so that you have one rectangular lot, which we're showing as proposed lot 1A, which would be 5,000 square ft, which would uh be the lot where the existing home is. And what we would do is uh on that lot we would um remove the garage and we would provide a paved driveway area there which could accommodate two parking spaces. um with that that would need a um a variance to the 7,000 square feet that's required and we we would be proposing 5,000 square ft. Um there next to that house is a patio area that's um currently fenced in. So, we're we're intending to keep that area. And um

and then you have the two the paved parking area for the two spaces to the newly created lot, which is lot 1B. That lot would have 9,000 square ft. And as Mr. Dailyaly um outlined before, that existing twocar garage, we want to have that remain So, in order to have that remain, um, you have to, you know, we've been playing around with some, um, some buildings to attach to that garage. And with that, it's going to be necessary to have the, um, the proposed dwelling to be 23 feet back from the front yard setback um, where there's a maximum of 20. So that's that's a variance that we're requesting on lot 1B for that. And with that improvement of that lot to the garage, we're also showing and incorporating uh drainage uh for the roof area for that as well. the utilities are are going to um be within an uh an easement for the utilities to bring those utilities out to Wuburn Street without going into the uh roadway which is actually the town of Tukesbury. Okay. So, we have a town line that's on our property line which is the edge of the right of way which separates Lowel from Tukesbury uh along Elm Street.

This here is the garage and this is going to be addition onto that garage. This is looking at it from street. This is the uh right elevation which also have a deck on the rear. This is the rear elevation here. And this is the uh left side. Additionally, I I've handed out a um an overview of the GIS map. So, here we are here and as you can see there are many lots that are 5,000 to 7,000 square ft. So, we believe a lot of smaller lots here. So, we believe that this subdivision uh will not be detrimental to the neighborhood in terms of uh the size as well as there's an existing dwelling here already on that corner on the smaller lot. and I can uh turn it back to the zoning board for any questions you may have.

Okay. Thank thank you Mr. Hammer for that um um summary of the project. Um now we're going to open the hearing to the public. Um anyone wish to speak in opposition to the petition? In opposition in opposition seeing none that portion of public hearing is closed. Any wishing to speak in favor petition? In favor in favor all right seeing none the public hearing is closed. We're going to open questions and comments to the board. Uh chair recognizes uh Mr. Brier. Mr. Brier, the floor is yours, sir. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I see this as an appropriate and welcome project for the neighborhood and I'll be voting in favor. Thank you.

Thank Thank you, Mr. Preer. Uh the chair organizes Mr. McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy, the floor is yours, sir. Uh, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um, I I just want to understand where that line is uh for Tukbury. Um, it seems to be dotted on the uh plan here. That's correct. Okay. Um, does that have any uh bearing on where you set the building at as far as the 23 foot setback versus the 20? Uh, no. So, the jurisdiction on the zoning is in the city of Lel zoning ordinance. Okay. All right.

You were to if you were to apply even one zoning bylaw from the town of Tukesbury, you would then need to um incorporate all the zoning bylaws in the town of Tukesbury. I'm sorry, I'm not quite understanding what you're saying. So, if you were to consider even one of the setback or zoning requirements that is relevant to the town of Tukesbury, you would have to include all of them. Okay. So, the the lot is partially in Tuksbury and partially in Lel, but you're going by L. No, it's not. No, actually the the lots are completely in in Lowel. Okay.

It's just they they front on the right of way. The roadway in front is in the town of Tukbury. So, it's the front property line that is the border between LOL and Tukbury. Correct. Got it. Okay. Okay. So there Okay. So none of the land there is part of Tukbury. It's all low. That's correct.

Got it. Okay. And uh the 23 versus a 20. Um it's only a three-foot difference. I don't see that as a major ask. And um like you say, there's so many of these lots over there that are in the 5,000 square foot number already existing. Um this would fit right in. And it almost seems like it should have been [laughter] at one point a 5,000t lot and a 9,000t lot. Uh so it makes total sense what you're doing. Um and I I want to thank Mr. Daly for cleaning this up. Um it needs to be cleaned up and I'm glad someone's doing it. Thank you very much for your work. Thank you.

Thank Thank you, Mr. McCarthy. Uh the chair of the vice chairman, Mr. Kelly, the floor is yours, sir.

Uh thank you, Mr. Chairman. Uh yeah, that was good. My question was going to be, you know, the configuration between LOL and Tuksbury and if you got relief here, but then you would have to go to Tukbury because wherever the lots are. But it's good to know that I mean it's basically it's all within within our jurisdiction to uh to handle. And um I think this is a fantastic project. It makes total sense, especially the newer building being attached to the existing garage. Um, which I mean makes total sense that the relief should be granted on there because you got a the lot being oddly shaped in an L-shape and um just to to put it within zoning, it just kind of wouldn't work out. So, I appreciate that you're uh coming for us and, you know, making it look look good to that effect. So, um fantastic project. I think it'll work out especially uh the rehab of the existing building and I will be voting in favor. So I wish you the best of luck. Thank you.

Uh thank you Mr. Kellian. Uh chair recognizes Mr. Hav. M the floor is yours sir. I have no questions. Thank you. Um chair is Mr. Shan. Mr. Shenan the floor is yours sir. Yeah I think it's a good rehab of this property. Um the proposed plan for the addition to the garage seems to be consistent with the character to the house to the immediate right of it. So, I think it'd be a good fit for that neighborhood and I wish the project luck. Thank you. Thank Thank you, Mr. F. Uh, chair organizer, Mr. Proalt, Mr. Proalt, floor is yours, sir.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Um, yeah, I agree. I I think um looking at that property over the weekend, I was wondering what all the mess was. And thank you, Mr. Dailyy, for helping to clean it up. Um, I I think it's a good project and obviously it will beautify that that section of town. Um, I just my question and I'm trying to look at the plans here. The wastewater had some comments and I think you fulfilled those those requirements. So, um, I I would be voting in favor. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank Thank you, Mr. Proco. Um, I agree with my colleagues. I think this is a good project and and again um to my colleagues in fact and uh thank you Mr. Daily for your continued investment in the city. I know you do a lot of projects so we appreciate I know my colleagues as well. Um if there's no further comments can afford uh a motion please. Three Mr. Chairman like to make a motion for ZVA 2025-49 uh for two variances at 394 Wuburn Street. First variance is for minimum lot area requirement. Second variance is for minimum front yard setback. All right. Motion by Mr. McCarthy. Second. Second by the vice chairman. Um can we roll call please?

Chairman Pek approve. Vice chair Callahan approved. Member McCarthy approve. Member Brayer approval. Member Prote approve. Member Hovie approve. Member uh Shanahan approve. All right, you've been approved. Wish you best of luck. Thank you very much and have a great holiday. You too. Thank Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dix. All right, moving on to the next item on the agenda. Um, we have ZBA-2025-52. The petition is a variance. Uh, the applicant is Alfredo Nunees. Uh, prop 100 Gilmore Street. Um the petition the loss and board appeals will hold a public hearing to all interested persons relative to an application by the applicant to construct a second floor addition to their property at 100 Gilmore Street. Uh the subject properties located in the suburban single family SSF zoning district. The addition will require variance under section 5.1 from maximum floor area ratio F [snorts] and for any other requirement loans ordinance. Good evening, sir.

Good evening. My name is Darwin Fortuna, business address of 50 Grove Street in Salem, Massachusetts. I'm a registered architect representing uh Mr. Alfredo, and he's here with me. Uh good evening, gentlemen and ladies. Uh my name is Alfredo Nunes, owner of 100 GMO Street in Low. Good evening. Thank you.

So, uh we sent a a PDF earlier. Hopefully, you guys could see it. Um but it's a pretty straightforward project. Uh we sent it to Peter today. Um, and you know what we're trying to do is uh meet the needs of this family. It's a growing family and the space is really crowded. So when we were looking at the project, we thought that it was going to fit within the the FAI and it was shocking when we noticed that it didn't. So we dig deeper into uh law and the FAI requirements and we noticed that it to me it was shocking. I had never seen something like it. Um and there were some findings that even the studies that were done here that shows about 50% of the properties do not meet the FBI requirements. So um it makes sense uh you know to to have such a request. The lot is already an undersized lot by default. Um they're they're not even trying to go a full story throughout the entire ranch home. They love the look and feel of the ranch style home. Uh they don't want to have a lot of maintenance in a big home like that either. So they just want to increase the the um the living space to have a bedroom for their family and maybe a further will you count more into you know the needs and and things like that. But

um yeah uh so it's u my wife and our two um kids uh so it's four of us and then uh later on our brother moved on uh moved in with us. He lives in the basement uh but you know his his nephews his two kids uh come throughout the week and one of them has liked it so much he loved this summer. he's wants to move in. Um, so my brother's looking into, you know, he's going into high school next year. And unfortunately, uh, we don't have enough bedrooms. So, uh, with this would greatly, uh, help, uh, if, you know, uh, if that comes into fruition to, you know, to make it, uh, you know, uh, accommodate everybody. Thank you. Yeah, as you can see, the design doesn't necessarily um the neighborhood has similar homes like that, ranch houses, other ones have uh two stories. This one is is like one and a half stories essentially because it's half of the home. Um doesn't really uh have a detriment to anybody. Um I looked also into the different uh CVA requirements that were approved for FS and shockingly in the last year and a half or so this is one of the smallest requests of F. we have even 080, you know, 0 50 point 60. This is just over 0.4. Um, so it's really just that the hair of of more space that we need. Um, and we didn't understand that the basement was actually being counted and some entrances to the bulkhead. Again, as an architect, and I've done over 2,000 projects in my life, I've never seen anything like that, but I understand uh, you know, that there is a look and feel that probably wants to be maintained, and this is in keeping with that look and feel. Thank you.

Okay. Thank Thank you for the summary of your project. Um now we'll open the hearing to the public. Um anyone wish to speak in opposition's petition? In opposition and opposition. All right. Seeing then that portion of public hearing is closed. Anyone wishing to speak in favor petition? In favor. In favor. All right. Seeing none, the public hearing is closed. We're going to open questions, comments to the board. Uh the chair recognizes Mr. McCarthy. Mr. McCarthy, the floor is yours, sir.

Uh thank you, Mr. Uh Mr. Chairman. Um, I'm glad you're doing a second floor edition and not increasing the footprint um at all. Um, it looks like it'll be a lovely penthouse suite that you're going to be gaining at this home. Um, the F is exceeded, but it really doesn't have a detrimental effect. I agree. Um and I think um the building um DPD and the all the uh groups that sent and you know reviewed this had no comments. So I see no reason not to support this. Thank you very much. Uh thank thank you Mr. McCarthy. Uh the chair recognizes the vice chairman, Miss Kelly. The floor is yours, sir.

Thank you very Mr. Chairman. Um I share the same sentiments as member McCarthy. Um I don't see this as being uh very much of a big deal. Um the F again though it's being exceeded it's 006 that you need is not all that all that much. Um so um I can find myself being in support of this and I wish you the best of luck. Thank you. Thank you. Uh thank you Mr. Kellian. Uh the chair organizes Mr. Hubby. Mav the floor is yours sir. Thanks Dylan. Did we get any plans today? Uh the applicant [clears throat] emailed the presentation, but I don't I'm not aware of any plans that were received. So what did you send over today? You said you sent

So it was the same as what we had initially submitted, but um but I sent that as a PDF just in case. Yeah. Got you. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So uh I echo the same sentiments. If if there's no changes to the plans, then uh what I see here I don't have an issue with. All right. Thank Thank you, Mr. Hy. Uh chair recognizes uh Mr. Shen. Miss Shen, the floor is yours, sir. Thank you. It seems like a straightforward project. Um, yeah, I concur with the fellow my fellow board members. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Mina. Uh, the chair is Mr. Pro. Mr. Pro, the floor is yours, sir.

Uh, thank you, Mr. Chairman. I I echo the same sentiments. I mean, it's it's a small ask and I think it's it's it's well warranted. So, um, I'll be voting in favor. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Mr. Proco. Uh, chair recognizes Mr. Brier. Mr. Brier, the floor is yours, sir. No questions, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. Um, I don't have any comments either. I think it's a nice plan. Makes sense. Best of luck to you and your family, sir. All right. There's no further comments. Um, can have a motion, please. I got one. Oh, go ahead, M. Did you see the fire department's comments about hard wiring the alarms or are they
