Atty. Paul Schneiders represented the petitioner. Initially the petitioner wanted a 
residential unit on top of a garage – 1600s.f.. They were seeking relief on this unit. This 
unit is now 1200s.f., relief is requested for this size unit. The By-Law was meant to 
rehab Neponset Street. (Mr. Marini was involved with writing this By-Law which reads 
relief for 3 or more units without 5 acres, if demo-ing 10K plus 7K ea unit). GR requires 
4500s.f., 10K plus 2K for a duplex, he has 17K. John Marini and Ellen Arsenault-Jones, 
an abutter, were also present and spoke. Chairman Carroll is in favor of this By-Law. 
Atty. Schneiders said this is a long piece of property, with a duplex plus garage on it. 
The question is the unit on top of the garage. This Board asked us to come back with 3 
things: 
 1 - reduce the size of the residential unit on top of the garage 
 2 - certified plot plan 
 3 - drawings of what the building would look like 
 
Chairman Carroll said he was concerned about the abutters. She stated that Atty. 
Schneiders dropped plans off to her office, today. It would be nice to see the height, what 
it looks like, and issues with drainage. Mr. McNeice did drainage, we have waster from 
the RR tracks, there is a large area (on the dwg) that is replaced with asphalt, there will be 
drainage issues. The height is 24ft? Chairman Carroll asked if there was drainage – one 
catch basin? Owners says yes, a 6” d ia. Chairman Carroll wants an Engine er’s opinion. 
Ms. Arsenault said they addressed the height, and reduced the square footage (from 1600 
to 1200s.f.) Chairman Carroll said they would vote continent on E ngineer looking at it. 
Has Mr. Houston seen this? NO. Ms. Arsenault said she is in the lowest area. Chairman
