The Board is familiar with the location of the petitioner's property, the layout, and other characteristics as well as the surrounding district.

1929161 BZA-187324 Case No. Location: 60 Rindge Avenue Petitioner: Bryce Carey and Leah Cohen - c/o Christopher J. Alphen, Esq. On September 22, 2022, Petitioners Bryce Carey and Leah Cohen appeared before the Board of Zoning Appeal with their attorney Christopher Alphen requesting a variance in order to provide parking in the front yard setback and a special permit in order to enlarge an existing nonconforming structure. The Petitioner requested relief from Article 5, Section 5.31, Article 6, Section 6.44.1.c, Article 8, Sections 8.22.3 and 8.22.2.d, and Article 10, Sections 10.30 and 10.40 of the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance ("Ordinance"). The Petitioner submitted materials in support of the application including information about the project, plans, and photographs. Mr. Alphen stated that the proposal was to demolish a dilapidated garage and replace it with open space, while continuing to park in the driveway, which was in the front yard setback. He stated the proposal also included a small kitchen addition, which created no new nonconformities, but also needed setback relief because it is the portion of the structure in the setback. The Chair asked if anyone wished to be heard on the matter, no one indicated such. The Chair read letters of support from neighbors. After discussion, the Chair moved that the Board make the following findings based upon the application materials submitted and all evidence before the Board and that based upon the findings the Board grant the requested relief as described in the Petitioners' submitted materials and the evidence before the Board: that the Board find that a literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would involve a substantial hardship to the petitioners, because it would preclude the petitioners from increasing open space, which would be a benefit to anybody who occupied the building; that the Board find that it would have a beneficial effect to adjoining properties to have more green and more open space; that the Board find that granting relief to take down the garage and create open space would have a beneficial effect, because it would remove an unsightly structure that had fallen into disrepair and which usefulness had ceased to exist; that the Board find that the hardship owed to the fact that the property was a corner lot, encumbered by the Ordinance, that the lot lacked space to provide a new parking area that would meet the dimensional requirements, and that the location of the existing garage had created a hardship related to any kind of maintenance or repair; that the Board find that desirable relief could be granted without substantial detriment to the public good, and that placing two parking spaces, which had been the historical use at the property, in lieu of the existing nonconforming garage, would not be a substantial detriment to the public good, rather, it would be open green space, beneficial to all; that the Board find that desirable relief could be granted without substantial detriment to the public good or nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent and purpose of the Ordinance to allow the petitioners to repurpose the side yard and the back yard of the property to their and any occupants benefit. The Chair further moved that based upon all the information presented the Board grant the requested relief as described in the Petitioners' submitted materials and the evidence before the

1929161 Board on the condition that the work proceed as per the dimensional form, the supporting statements, and the plans submitted The five-member Board voted unanimously in favor of granting the special permit with the above condition (Sullivan, Monteverde, Leiserson, Wernick, and Marshall). Therefore, the special permit is granted as conditioned. After discussion, the Chair moved that the Board make the following findings based upon the application materials submitted and all evidence before the Board and that based upon the findings the Board grant the requested relief as described in the Petitioners' submitted materials and the evidence before the Board: that the Board find that the proposed alteration and enlargement of the preexisting dimensionally nonconforming, detached single-family dwelling would not be substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming structure to the neighborhood; that the Board find that the requirements of the Ordinance could be met with the granting of the special permit; that the Board find that traffic generated or patterns of access or egress would not cause congestion, hazard, or substantial change in the established neighborhood character; that the Board find that continued operation of or development of adjacent uses, as permitted in the Zoning Ordinance, would not be adversely affected by the nature of the proposed use; that the Board note the letters of support from adjoining properties; that the Board find that there would not be any nuisance or hazard created to the detriment of the health, safety, and/or welfare of the occupants of the proposed use, but rather, an updated structure would be a great benefit to their health, safety and welfare; that the Board find that the proposed use would not impair the integrity of the district or adjoining district, or otherwise derogate from the intent and purpose of the Ordinance to allow homeowners to improve their property; that the Board find that the proposal was a fair and reasonable request. The Chair further moved that based upon all the information presented the Board grant the requested relief as described in the Petitioners' submitted materials and the evidence before the Board on the condition that the work proceed comply with the supporting statements, dimensional form and the drawings entitled, "Carey Cohen Residence, 60 Rindge Avenue," prepared by SKA Architects, as initialed by the Chair at the September 22, 2022, hearing. The five-member Board voted unanimously in favor of granting the special permit with the above condition (Sullivan, Monteverde, Leiserson, Wernick, and Marshall). Therefore, the special permit is granted as conditioned.

1929161 be l The Board of Zoning Appeal is empowered to waive local zoning regulations only. This decision therefore does not relieve the petitioner in any way from the duty to comply with local ordinances and regulations of the other local agencies, including, but not limited to the Historical Commission, License Commission and/or compliance with requirements pursuant to the Building Code and other applicable codes.

1929161 BZA-187324 Case No. Location: 60 Rindge Avenue Petitioner: Bryce Carey and Leah Cohen - c/o Christopher J. Alphen, Esq. On September 22, 2022, Petitioners Bryce Carey and Leah Cohen appeared before the Board of Zoning Appeal with their attorney Christopher Alphen requesting a variance in order to provide parking in the front yard setback and a special permit in order to enlarge an existing nonconforming structure. The Petitioner requested relief from Article 5, Section 5.31, Article 6, Section 6.44.1.c, Article 8, Sections 8.22.3 and 8.22.2.d, and Article 10, Sections 10.30 and 10.40 of the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance ("Ordinance"). The Petitioner submitted materials in support of the application including information about the project, plans, and photographs. Mr. Alphen stated that the proposal was to demolish a dilapidated garage and replace it with open space, while continuing to park in the driveway, which was in the front yard setback. He stated the proposal also included a small kitchen addition, which created no new nonconformities, but also needed setback relief because it is the portion of the structure in the setback. The Chair asked if anyone wished to be heard on the matter, no one indicated such. The Chair read letters of support from neighbors. After discussion, the Chair moved that the Board make the following findings based upon the application materials submitted and all evidence before the Board and that based upon the findings the Board grant the requested relief as described in the Petitioners' submitted materials and the evidence before the Board: that the Board find that a literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance would involve a substantial hardship to the petitioners, because it would preclude the petitioners from increasing open space, which would be a benefit to anybody who occupied the building; that the Board find that it would have a beneficial effect to adjoining properties to have more green and more open space; that the Board find that granting relief to take down the garage and create open space would have a beneficial effect, because it would remove an unsightly structure that had fallen into disrepair and which usefulness had ceased to exist; that the Board find that the hardship owed to the fact that the property was a corner lot, encumbered by the Ordinance, that the lot lacked space to provide a new parking area that would meet the dimensional requirements, and that the location of the existing garage had created a hardship related to any kind of maintenance or repair; that the Board find that desirable relief could be granted without substantial detriment to the public good, and that placing two parking spaces, which had been the historical use at the property, in lieu of the existing noncontorming garage, would not be a substantial detriment to the public good, rather, it would be open green space, beneficial to all; that the Board find that desirable relief could be granted without substantial detriment to the public good or nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent and purpose of the Ordinance to allow the petitioners to repurpose the side yard and the back yard of the property to their and any occupants benefit. The Chair further moved that based upon all the information presented the Board grant the requested relief as described in the Petitioners' submitted materials and the evidence before the

1929161 Board on the condition that the work proceed as per the dimensional form, the supporting statements, and the plans submitted. The five-member Board voted unanimously in favor of granting the special permit with the above condition (Sullivan, Monteverde, Leiserson, Wernick, and Marshall). Therefore, the special permit is granted as conditioned After discussion, the Chair moved that the Board make the following findings based upon the application materials submitted and all evidence before the Board and that based upon the findings the Board grant the requested relief as described in the Petitioners' submitted materials and the evidence before the Board: that the Board find that the proposed alteration and enlargement of the preexisting dimensionally nonconforming, detached single-family dwelling would not be substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming structure to the neighborhood; that the Board find that the requirements of the Ordinance could be met with the granting of the special permit; that the Board find that traffic generated or patterns of access or egress would not cause congestion, hazard, or substantial change in the established neighborhood character; that the Board find that continued operation of or development of adjacent uses, as permitted in the Zoning Ordinance, would not be adversely affected by the nature of the proposed use; that the Board note the letters of support from adjoining properties; that the Board find that there would not be any nuisance or hazard created to the detriment of the health, safety, and/or welfare of the occupants of the proposed use, but rather, an updated structure would be a great benefit to their health, safety and welfare; that the Board find that the proposed use would not impair the integrity of the district or adjoining district, or otherwise derogate from the intent and purpose of the Ordinance to allow homeowners to improve their property; that the Board find that the proposal was a fair and reasonable request. The Chair further moved that based upon all the information presented the Board grant the requested relief as described in the Petitioners' submitted materials and the evidence before the Board on the condition that the work proceed comply with the supporting statements, , "Carey Cohen Residence, 60 Rindge Avenue," dimensional form and the drawings entitled, prepared by SKA Architects, as initialed by the Chair at the September 22, 2022, hearing. The five-member Board voted unanimously in favor of granting the special permit with the above condition (Sullivan, Monteverde, Leiserson, Wernick, and Marshall). Therefore, the special permit is granted as conditioned.

1929161 The Board of Zoning Appeal is empowered to waive local zoning regulations only. This decision therefore does not relieve the petitioner in any way from the duty to comply with local ordinances and regulations of the other local agencies, including, but not limited to the Historical Commission, License Commission and/or compliance with requirements pursuant to the Building Code and other applicable codes.
