NATURE OF PROPOSED WORE

HARDSHIP
CONDITION OF APPROVAL
FINDINGS
The Board of Appeals approved the special permit allowing more than the number of signs allowed by right for the second storefront
space along Strong Avenue based on the information submitted in the application.
The Board granted the permit based upon finding that:
(1) Signs are located only where they are otherwise permitted in the district. It is located above a storefront facade. and
(2) The Board of Appeals determined that the architecture of the building, the location of the building or the land or nature of the use
being made of the building or land is such that additional signs or signs of a larger size would not detract from the character of the
neighborhood and should be permitted in the public interest. The additional sign would be located in the area above the storefront
where a sign would be anticipated. Due to the nature of the multiple storefronts divided by entries leading to the second floor it would
not make sense to have one sign across the two storefronts..
(3) The Board of Appeals specified that the sign shall be as presented in the application.

* Type of construction:
The building was built under the 6th edition of 780CMR and was probably Type 3B non-

* Occupancy load: by table 1004.1.2 in M use is 30 sq ft net, per occupant. We make a count as
follows; basement = 23. main floor = 25. The total building will only have 2 employee and possibly
up to 25 max people in rare occasions.

Dear Tony,
This is a Code Review and Fire Narrative with the project drawing Title, A -1, dated 2.12.10. The
project has not started demolition but is occupied in very rudimentary moving in status since no life
safety issues exist since prior systems are operating and remain in place.
* This is a Chapter 34 narrative of the above project with the 780CMR Section 116 services. This
includes the Chapter 9 narrative attached and is part of the construction documents as shown above.
• Project Description:
Envelope;
The building is a brick masonry- bearing wall with reinforced concrete main floors and I believe with
some wood framing above in the upper residential units which are separated as built. It has insulated
windows and insulation in its envelope.
Code violations;
The building has no code non - compliant problems that I found.
Mechanical and Electrical;
We are reusing all mechanical systems HVAC & plumbing. We intend to add sink for a coffee
counter in rear and replace the hand sink in the private bathroom.
Interior & Finishes;
A -1 the First floor [750 + /- sq ft] will remain as is but for demolition and removal of small
dressing rooms and then construction of a new knee wall in glass block. Carpet remains with patching
in seams.
A -1 the Basement level is [700 + /- sq ft] will keep all interior finishes but paint with the existing
walls and doors
