um I will call the zoning board of appeals meeting to order um we have one application um for tonight which is several Seven Central so I'll um start
with this um I will say that we have only four members here so it needs to be a unanimous vote um we will have a discussion first so it appear if it appears that it's not going to be unanimous you'll have the opportunity to
continue when there will be five people here okay sorry so confusing um no pressure whatsoever um I move to open the public hearing for the application of agem 7 Central LLC
for special permits under sections 7.2 and 12.5 of the zoning bylaw and other relief as may be necessary to construct a small addition to a non-conforming structure and a change of use in a non-conforming structure on a
non-conforming line at 7 Central assessor map number 53 Lot number 32 in District G filed with a town clerk on January 16 20125 do I have a second to open the
meeting second George a second vote Rob Georgia Diane yes and Sarah vote Yes okay um I apologize Mr flamia that you've had to go before so many different boards on
this application um I think you've hit every single one there is in town um and the reason you have to I know you got permission from the planning board um to build the three units um the reason you have to come before us
is because it's non it's a non-conforming structure okay otherwise and it it's a conforming use but because it's in a non-conforming structure you still have to come before okay and I did get confirmation
from the planning board that they had okay um Mr Harden do you want to present the application sure would you mind if I shared no that's fine can you see that Diane yes I can you're welcome to sit at the end of that
table if you okay can everyone see that screen yes online Okay um thank you very much for having us here tonight uh it's a pleasure um as the chairwoman said we have just been in front of the planning board um and did the same presentation
actually very very similar in any case um and I'm also joined here tonight by my Cent um and uh hopefully um you guys will enjoy this uh little presentation tonight we actually have something kind
of special which we also shared with the board so if you'll entertain us for just five or 10 minutes we like to give you a little tour through town and the the purpose for doing this is partly to show um some of the context for this project but it's also to try
and show um some of the work that um that Ed has done here in town and to give you a sense of I think why he enjoys doing this um and uh Ed of course can can can speak at at some point and
um and and explain as well but what we're trying to show here is really a load for some of the history of town and every project Ed has done has involved a historic building uh purchasing it for example um to School Street this is this
is a picture from from long ago you can tell by the cars and a few other things um this is the same building that's on the corner of Central and school you might recognize it because of that um sort of half circle piece that is in the middle between the two gaples which is
still there today very um distinguished um on on the corner but when this building was purchased it looks something like this it's okay but every old building no matter what happens in its life needs to
be refreshed and to be preserved so that it can last another hundred years let's say and so something that my client really enjoys doing is bringing these buildings back to their um to their historic State
let's say but also to um a state in which it can have a chance of lasting another 100 years like I said if you don't do this these buildings eventually will fall apart so um so my client has enjoyed doing this not just at two School
Street but you'll recognize a few other buildings this one 11 Central directly across the street basically from from where we are now and how it looked back in the day I love all the Fourth of July um decorations on it even the chairs up on the on the balcony or the roof there
for people to watch uh really gives a sense of the spirit of the Town back in the day and okay looking a little sad um a few years ago but you can see how it looks today um which takes a lot of attention um and
investment of course and time uh to to make it look this way something that's worth mentioning about a couple of these both to school street as well as um 11 Central this is to the left of s Central which we're talking about tonight and the other one was to the right of it so
on both sides of of the building um are properties that have been purchased by the client and fixed up in a very nice fashion but they're also great examples of mixed use in town these are retail on the first floor and then small
residential apartments on the second floor and in many ways this is really what we want in town these are sort of perfect examples of in the core of town mixed use living retail in the first Flo which we don't want to lose right but
also um places for people to live up on the second floor it's dense but it's small um if you all recall the the the 3A um discussions that we've had within this last year that was really the goal in town was to try and encourage small
infill development of something like three or four units um without disturbing the the fabric of our town and of our and if you go just up to street that way a little bit towards um the center town uh you'll see the corner there of
38 Union that's the building on the right the building on the left is unfortunately no longer there um that is uh I think basically where cargo limited is now love the horse in the street and that was a pretty good snowfall um even
for the day and this is how it was when it was purchased few years ago and again how it looks today and you could definitely imagine this building is going to be here for another 100
years and a little bit further down the street the other direction 29 Central across the street to the left a little bit this is what it looked like when it was purchased and after some investment and fixing it up um it looks really great today this actually has one of the best
little porches and front Stoops not just for watching the Fourth of July parade but as you walk by this is really a very handsome U building now on um Central Street then of course there's nine Ashlin this you may not know quite as well because it isn't on Central streets
actually down Ashland um around the corner of bit but it is a really fine example of something called um Carpenter Gothic so it's very rare actually there are only a couple of these on the NorthShore and you can see all the
detail that was involved that's all wood it's actually sort of made to look like it was Stone but it's actually all all wood and lucky for n Ashlin Ed came along and purchased it uh when it looked
like this um and it have been in the same family for a long time but as happens sometimes as you know properties pass on to children and children and children and so on um it had been a little bit um unloved for a bit and was
in in need of repair um and as at done on most of of these buildings this one really had to be rebuilt from the inside out a lot of the structure wasn't in good shape um and it had to be had to be fixed um so that it could last again um
a long time but also be structurally sound um and of course we went not in in front of you all because there's no change of use here but we did go in front of the historic commission and uh spent a long time with them talking about mostly the windows because the windows are really Fant fantastic on
this building and they were uh uh remade and and pres remade to preserve the look that you see today um definitely worth a walk by if you haven't walked down nine Ashen in a while to really great property then of course School Street um
on the Corner Road School in central one one school and also the building just behind it um is a project that is currently underway work has been started um and almost completed on the back part and about to begin on the front
part um this was a pharmacy by the way on the first floor there um I think there more than one Pharmacy in town at the time but that definitely was a pharmacy um and some good news which Ed if don't mind I I share um Ed's
intention here is actually to return retail to the first floor in that building that's really exciting we haven't had retail in that corner in a long time um so we will probably have to come revisit you I think for that because it is a change of use
um but it's again in in the spirit of trying to return some of these properties to their historic nature not just what they look like but also um how they function in the town and this is a really important corner so it was a little worse for wear
um believe it or not there were 13 units in this building this is probably the densest Residential Building in town what I love about that is you never know right um so a lot of those
conversations during that that 3A process about density and people being scared there was a little dense building here with 13 units that no one even knew had 13 units um because it was designed really well not designed it just it happened to to be done this way but as
you see on this back portion it has been totally um renovated new new windows new siding of a fantastic new paint job new Roofing and the units inside have all been renovated as
well and that will happen on the front side as well here's the sort of back alley area with one of the unit and that brings us to the property that we're talking about tonight s Central so you all probably know this building
because of the restaurant right um the bar and the bar a very well-known bar um this is a very early photograph it looks a little different mostly because the the street is actually gotten higher over time so
the building looks a little little shorter today but you can still see that there's a little bit of a bow in in the roof that's a little bit more pronounced today um but that's one one of the reasons why we're pretty sure that this is Seven Central um and uh the windows
of course on on the first floor were changed most likely when it became a restaurant and change use back in in the day um they wanted it to be a little bit more transparent and open to to the inside so some of those windows are different
so there you see the the the larger windows on the first floor and you all will recognize on the right hand side there was the bar the restaurant portion in seating area was to the left as you went in and then extended all the way to the back um
I'm sure you all have been had been in there at some point um now when exactly the Barnacle was added to the right side I don't really know historically it's certainly wasn't historic um probably the 1960s or something like that that
happened I don't know if you have have any me memory sah or whatnot um and it was not structurally in good shape um it has been removed um in hopes of when this becomes a future Cafe which is the
the plan for it that that area outside to the right um which is now cobblestones can be a nice outdoor seating area for that you so in terms of of the project as you know there is a a change of use which is
to um take the back portion of the property and uh change it into two residential units and then have a third resid unit actually let me just go backwards here um on the second floor above the cafe so U it it'll be a change
of use from only a restaurant to a uh a cafe or a commercial space on the first floor and residential units both above on the second floor and in the rear um at the back so as I mentioned before not unlike
the buildings to the left and right where there's retail on the first floor and then residential use up above um this is a a site plan showing the lower level of the building we have Central Street to the bottom of of the page and
then the um the pond to to the rear of the page or rear of the building for for three units we are required to have five parking spaces there are three existing um parking spaces beneath existing um
deck that is back there which we're showing uh one two three parking spaces we imagine that those three spaces will be allocated to the three unit there are then two additional parking spaces that we're showing uh to the right there that would be piggyback and we imagine that
these would be used probably for staff who would work in the cafe um it's it's work noting while five are required and five are being shown we could also piggyback behind each of those three um parking spaces and could easily have a
total of of eight here um if needed that might be good if guests are coming to stay with people who live here or something like that now of course question comes up about parking for the restaurant the restaurant never had parking and uh
the good news is the change in use well it's not really change in use but the change in type of establishment going from a restaurant to a cafe will have a less of a less of a use for people parking with cars we
think um I I imagine it much more of a pedestrian type of thing kind of like laughing go which is is much that way downtown it also rels parking like this um and then of course across the street and right behind us is a really good siiz parking lot that is public and that
can can be used um for this use as well and as I like to do just just briefly I'll get get on my soap box here I I live in town just up on School Street and in all the years I've lived here which is not as long as most but um whenever I've driven downtown to do
anything I have yet to not find a parking spot usually directly in front of the thing that I'm going to like count um so I don't perceive that there is a parking issue in town in fact I kind of like it the
way I'll step back off my Soap Box um and just to to walk you through some plans um here we're showing in the lower left the current plan for the cafe so this would be very much like uh like any CAF that you would walk into there' be
some seating top seating as well as low top SE in there be a bar of sorts where things would be sold um I believe coffee is the primary interest here a really good place to find a good cup of coffee
maybe some past pastries maybe uh maybe a sandwich for lunch um and then there's the kitchen space which would be smaller than it is now but located corner of that plan and then a single bathroom as
well this is a small enough space that only bathroom would be required and then directly above that space um so there is an existing uh floor there which it looks like was at
some time used as an an apartment it hasn't been for years but maybe some staff lived there at some point um not only that there actually is also a loft space or a a second story um in that in what's called a gambell roof so we're
showing on the right corner there a um uh it's basically a two-bedroom apartment in which this this primary level has a living space kitchen and a u single bedroom with with an onet bathroom and then upstairs from that
would be a second bedroom with with a bathroom as well so a decent a decent little apartment um for for that so then behind the cafe on the first floor um but still on that level
there would be uh two the first floor of two units it be a unit to to the left uh in which it would have a living dining and kitchen space on that floor and then stairs that would go up to a second floor in that unit which would have two
bedrooms um and same thing on the on the right hand unit a little bit bigger because of of the kitchen that bumps out there on the right but it also would have living dining kitchen on the first floor and then stairs up to the second floor with again two bedrooms up there
on that the ones in the back would have great views out towards the pond um now uh part of our special permit tonight um is because we are proposing adding just a little bit of space so
where is that happening um so the second floor right in this area here the current existing space does not have um tilt SP in this
area it's just Ro um it exists here in in a small Gable and and the rest of the space it was sort of an old function room on the second floor there um but this little corner was never built out um so in terms of places where you could
add a bit of room and obviously we we need to to create that second bedroom um that corner is perfect it's perfect because it exists on the other side so we're going to mimic the the roof shape and and the massing of it so that it'll
look like it already been there it's also in the center of of the property right because you've got the big roof in the back here you've got the Gable and and the um restaurant portion and the front unit here so this area in the middle here as you'll see in
these next elevations um is actually quite hidden from view so unless you're really walking down that space between the Departments is actually very hard to see so we we believe very strongly that it would not be detrimental to the
neighborhood to add this small area there so the top image is the front um something that's kind of curious about all these historic building you have to choose a period of time that you're going to reference historically um I think uh my clients um
instinct is to show sort of the original state the old old state of it but the uh historic commission was uh felt very strongly that they wanted to keep the windows as they remembered it I think yeah as as the restaurant which is why
we're we're showing them in that way and then on the back side there are a couple things um on the back side for example right here on the right hand side there's a big picture window with an arch above it that's really not appropriate for a residential unit so
we're going to clean this up simplify it take that that away just have Windows to the bedrooms up squares but we are proposing to add a very small porch roof with some columns and that will be those will be the entries to the so that roof will just make it a
little bit more welcoming um give you some cover when you're trying to find your keys to get in the house um and then you can see the the parking down down beneath so that's an existing deck that the parking is shown beneath so what you're showing us is different than
what we seeed it is a little bit yes you went to Historic commission prior to this meeting correct got it and also it's been an awfully long time since we submitted this package no under understandable okay okay so we'll need the updated version yes I I sent them to
you um by email oh to the zba to to the chairperson email got it yep y I'll get them okay I don't check that email every day got something that is curious about the building which we sort of knew but
um that back de is a concrete plant a little unusual um but the reason why they probably did that was uh they only have to be 8 in thick so it's a very efficient structure and the head height is quite tight down at the bottom
so in order to park cars beneath there they use that that was interesting then we found out that actually the entire back addition to the building which was done years ago it's all concrete PL again because I think the basement was quite tight so they maximized that
ceiling height by keeping the structure very tight so this building isn't going anywhere it's built like a tank um in fact uh even the the basement it's got concrete foundation walls on those three sides concrete plank on top I bet this
might be the driest place in the entire town even though it floods it's probably like a like a bathtu um any case so we are working with all of those things um that we're discovering in
building so these are the side elevations um if you're standing sort of on on the on the School Street side side of the building this is where that bar addition was um but this is that piece that's up on the second floor that isn't
that wasn't on the the other side you see it's just a very simple Gable up on that side and we're proposing to do the the very the very same thing on the other side so it'll look just like that side on this side the opposite um the entry to the unit above
the cafe will be from the steps which are they steps there now while the entry to these back units would be off of the steps from the back and from the par and there's quite a nice little path that goes in
this so that that one door that you just showed us that led up to the apartment so where is the other door to get out of that apartment so there's just one one means be y there's no door under the deck in the
back no so for residential uses like this where if it's a single unit um windows in a bedroom for example have to be of of a certain size so that they can be get out but that's out of a bedroom
right yeah but I mean when you go through the door you're not directly into a bedroom right yeah so so you're saying that the second means of e would be a bedroom window well so I don't think a second means of
vress is required if your only door directly to the think yeah because just like your house yeah my house is required have two means of be but they there's a deck between the front unit and the back unit so you'd be
able to get out a window from any of the rooms I think onto the deck on the second floor not on the well the unit is on the second floor what do those windows look like on the second floor
are there Windows yeah there are um I think about that I'm not sure from the I know if for example this were an apartment building with multif family housing in it each apartment has one means of ESS to the corridor and then
that Corridor has two means of of ESS but because you're going directly to the exterior I'm not sure that a second means of erress in this case would be required um I I will check on that yeah well I mean prior
to moving forward with this you have agency or you yourself providing a a code analysis yes y who's doing you or somebody else so I I do it first and then then we have a a consultant as well your consult guy by
name of Chris how it's not a company like like Bo R I would also think that the building inspector if there's a second egress required would mandate as part as a building permit I'm just concerned that that
might change the design that Mak sense yeah yeah I will definitely look into that yeah and the other units as well they only have one correct all all directly and this going to be P
supression yes AB so for example if this were this were a townhouse right which had um you know a unit next to next to a unit those all have have one means to the digress out of out of the front of of the
unit from a town yeah but then they also have one of the back uh typically no not all um maybe some that's I don't think the one that we approved at 35 school had two two
egresses that two family yeah even so a even a multif family building that has no more than four units on a floor had one there is the window thing that Al
also is in play that the windows have to be of a certain size but are you talking about an existing building or a new building um in a case for example of one school that was existing but I think new as so I mean if you go into the IBC and you
have know four units you have a I forget the exact amount of P the be travel Y and you are you allowed to have one you have suppression then those those bedroom windows don't necessarily
have to meet the side but that's an existing building I mean this is an existing building but you're changing the use which is going to require it's going to trigger full compliant yeah so my concern is that it's required to have two means of vress
but it doesn't second effect your design yeah so let me get back to you to confirm that it is required have two me um if it were to need a second point of
egress is that something that you've thought about or could be easily attain both of these these uh the front two sorry the back two units could have eress out of out of the second floor onto this roof area and this unit could
have off of a different point onto this roof to the same shared area okay that would be a door not a not a window that could be a door yeah so would be a door out of the bedrooms uh I'm not sure where it would
go out of on that side Well it can't go through a bedroom not okay oh so I see would bean my design if they need to have a door they may need to right make a bedroom smaller or accommodate okay and you can't go through a bedroom because of some reason
the bedroom they like the door ah okay okay yeah we'll we'll check that and and and make sure if it is if it is required we would but it also sounds like if that were to happen it wouldn't change the footprint the lot size the
addition size the height or because our our really I mean we're dealing with a change of use which is correct we have to be concerned that it's now residential and then we're dealing with the addition
because it's adding mass and that side of the building is within is already in the setb um so that they could change the interior
layout and it wouldn't really impact our jurisdiction um yeah in fact I think that that issue is more of a building code building a official issue um I I think it would be solvable without changing any of the other aspects that
would be in your jurisdiction no I mean I I understand it's a building code issue I just wonder if that building code issue is going to affect your time yeah I am the building that's why you're building offici questions
build George and I don't have a clue yeah like fire alarms okay suppression that's why you hired do you any questions I I did just want so the nonconformity is on I kind of did just
rough mat so the lot size it's under by 76 square feet right and the side setback is under by four feet and that's really and the front set back there's none that's all oh yeah
good point yes so by Nega five okay so in my mind those are minor compared to what we've seen before right so no question it's a congested area yeah with old buildings yes um Diane do you have
any questions no I don't thanks um is there any member of the public in the room that has any questions yes sir I I have a comment State your name and address please sure Dave Deiter I own 49 and 54 Union Street
okay the same district almost within ey shot eyesight of Seven Central and I think that the work that Mr flam and his team have done in this town especially with these old buildings which are very
difficult and very expensive to uh to to to modernize and make usful um has been outstanding and I think town I've been a lifelong resident of Manchester um this building in particular needs
substantial substantial work and uh it uh I'm full full support uh as somebody in the district um for this type of use and I think also adding residential units is also something that this town
needs and can benefit from while also maintaining uh the commercial uh space so that's my that's my comment thank you is there any member of the public on Zoom oh I see gar Morris has his hand
raised Mr Morris yes I think Deiter said it pretty well um they they appear to have done a very sensitive uh job on taking a pretty complicated situation and doing
something that uh is good for the town from an architectural and planning standpoint but also from a social and economic standpoint with uh the addition of of the uh residential units and we know we have a housing situation here so
it's good to get a few more places for people to live and and uh preserving the the retail Street front uh I think will be good and and uh I so uh I'm I uh as I say I think Mr Deiter said it said it
pretty well as far as I'm concerned thank you is there anyone one else on Zoom who would like to raise their hand and speak okay um there's one thing I want to
say I think you've done a fantastic job of renovating a large number of apartments in town um and we really appreciate that the only concern is because you're spending so much money the rents have to go up and one of the
things I would ask you is if you would give it some thought as for instance when you're working on the one at the corner of school and Union some of those are smaller if you might consider at some point making one
or two of those affordable um and you can talk to the affordable housing trust um and they might be able to help in that effort but that would be appreciated in a
affordable housing I happen to be on that um anything else or should I close the public hearing make a motion pleas unless see you have to that motion I'm
sorry but I I feel like the the audience and yourself has said everything I would say okay I move to close the public hearing and have the board enter into deliberations with respect to the application have a second second
vote Rob yes yes there I vote Yes okay um now we have to make the determination that this is um not substantially more detrimental or
injurious to the neighborhood that your sense it's not substantially more I I don't think it is in either the change of use or the I mean I think certainly mixed juice is a benefit absolutely having more residential as a
benefit yep like you said I I do agree that if there's any consideration for um making some affordable not this unit but other units you create are providing in Li of payment that would always be a bonus um I I think the designs you do
are great and the presentation was great and I think half this town won't even know what changed you know it antique table may be different different place but they may it's going to look the same and I appreciate that
so Diane what's your feeling I I agree completely Georgia has expressed it well and I agree with Sarah that if in the future affordable housing could be part of the plans that would be super I just have one request my my OCD
cannot take that dip in the roof so do you guys fix that yeah actually did you make it straight the entire building you got you saw it over the weekend yes um it's like being on on a ship at Sea right it's
there's ups and down SS all over the place um in fact some of framing looks to have been done while it has been in other words it hasn't been corrected in a long time yeah um uh and also if you notice as you walk by some of the existing
posts original existing posts are there and they're not in great shape um it's our hope to to replace in kind wherever possible and when we do that we will be able to hopefully write things a little
bit but even that that depth is inside in the ceiling structure above the the first floor so it looks like whatever settled probably the the fireplace a long long time ago whatever settled there did a long time ago so we will try and and get it back up as best we can he
get in Ste um do am I correct there was no plan to ra it because if it were raised that would change our decision I mean that would our decision we we did discuss whether
it was in the best interest of the building be honest to have it knocked down and rebuilt in the form that it was right um in some ways that's probably the the less expensive thing to do um it might even be the best thing to do for
for the life of of the building however uh once we do that I believe we would fall into some other criteria some other jurisdiction including Conservation Commission including chapter 91 Rivers
act so that we believe would delay this project considerably it may not actually end up being being worth while um but as my client has proven over the years he's been able to do pretty remarkable things with these old buildings by essentially
rebuilding them from the inside it's not easy but uh it's done a good so do you want us to do to include a condition in case it is raised so you guys are at 32 feet in height now and the zoning requirement is
35 that leaves you three feet of yeah but what I'm thinking of is is if if as they go they decide they have to raise it do we want to include a condition that would say if the building is raised it will be rebuilt on the same footprint
in the same architectural style yeah no higher than the zoning well they couldn't anyway yeah I think that's fair yeah okay in fact we might I think by right in theory we could knock it down and
rebuild it exactly right as it is we could do that the thing that that I'm nervous about getting triggered are the other right zone are the other jur we we have one on Proctor Street that came before us last year to rebuild
and now they're coming before us again because they're raising because of the height no I agree with that I think that's okay a different subject I mean bror is a historical right no right our passion is to keep everything that we could
possibly Save Right believe me what I tell you it's not easy to do you made it the slant in the roof I agree but that was a originally buil built in there back in 1750s exactly that I think we did it for the snow to fall off but I'm the same as you but that's if you look
at have all the oldest oldest Fage you can never imagine but I will try to put it back exactly the way it is we do my best but sometimes was just a joke you don't really have to make it straight I owned a house out on School
Street which dated back to 1684 and that had all the that had all the original stuff there there are some code things that will require us to do certain things to the building for example because of the commercial on the first floor residential above there's a a a
rated assembly required for that for that floor structure so and the uh floor that I mentioned that's the Loft in the Gambrell roof is roughly uh Timbers that are about that size probably about two
feet apart so structurally all that will be addressed okay you ready for me to make motion I move to approve the application of AGM 7 Central LLC for special permits under sections
7.2 and 12.5 of the zoning bylaw and to other relief as may be necessary to add 192q foot I on the second floor on the rear section of the existing non-conforming building on the west side of the
structure which currently encroaches into the side setb and a change of use in a non-conforming structure on a non-conforming lot um from a restaurant to a mixed
juice containing a restaurant slash Cafe and three residential units both of which units are conforming at 7 Central assessor map number 53 Lot number 32 in District G filed
with the town clerk on January 16 2025 based on a finding the proposed project to add 192 square foot second floor addition and residential units and a
change of use from a restaurant to a mixed juice containing a restaurant Cafe and three residential units both units being conforming in a non-conforming structure on a non-conforming lot is in harmony with the purpose and intent of
the bylaw will not be substantially more detrimental or injurious to the neighborhood in which it is located than the existing non-conforming structure and the conditions under which
and the conditions under section 12.5.2 of the zoning bylaw for the grant of a special permit have been met based on the following conditions the addition is located within the footprint of the existing structure as depicted on the
architectural site plan prepared by Olen Lewis plus dated November 25th 2024 the addition Renovations in units are constructed substantially in accordance with the plans prepared by
olon Lewis plus dated January 23rd 25 is that the correct new date okay SD 1.01 rear unit layouts SD 1.2
1.02 Cafe and front unit layout SD 2.0 South and North 2.0 South and North elevations SD 2.01 east and west
elevation um and if the if the building is raised it will be rebuilt on the same footprint with the same sport character I have a second any discussion take a vote Diane yes Rob yes Georgia
yes Sarah votes yes you want me to write it I'll review it okay so you're all set thank you guys oh and I was going to tell you that
