As part of this meeting will be having a forum for Boston Mayoral Candidates.

Feel free to email your questions to us in advance by replying to this email as well. Please note that we will NOT be able to get to all questions either emailed in advance/via chat due to time constraints. 

The following is the agenda for our upcoming monthly meeting:

AGENDA (subject to change):

  • Mayoral Candidate Forum:

    • Andrea Campbell
    • Annissa Essaibi George
    • Kim Janey
    • Michelle Wu
  • 31 Cottage St (VOTE:  22 in favor; 3 opposed) – The Project is to build an Internal Staircase that leads to a roof hatch access that will open up to a roof deck. Roof Deck will be grey Trex decking with cable fencing around the perimeter roughly 450 sq ft.
  • 3 Ardee St (VOTE:  22 in favor; 3 opposed; 1 abstained) – This project proposes a property addition, specifically an 840 sq. ft. roof deck addition to an existing building at 3 Ardee Street. This deck would be a private deck for the use of Unit 3, accessible via an interior staircase which will be added to the unit, and an access head-house standing a total of 53′ 2.5″ from ground level. An exterior staircase option was explored but is not possible due to the original balcony construction, therein violating safety requirements for spiral staircase width. The roof deck is intended to be a cable rail or glass enclosure.
  •  295 Webster St (VOTE:  14 in favor; 10 opposed; 1 abstained) – Certify use & occupancy as a 3-unit dwelling and add a roof deck.
