ZBA hearing on 265 Minot St., October 25, 9:30 a.m.
The Zoning Board of Appeal will hold a virtual hearing on the proposal to build a 5-unit residential building at 265-265C Minot Street. The existing single-family house on the lot would be torn down. Access to off-street basement-level parking is via an easement on the adjacent property at 273 Minot St. A and A Minot LLC of Hanover own both parcels.
The developers presented their plan at the June 5 general meeting of Ashmont Adams Neighborhood Association.* The property is in a 2-family zone and those in attendance expressed concerns about the density of the project, especially given the narrowness of the lot and the recent construction of 6- and 9-unit residential buildings in the immediate vicinity that have impacted the neighborhood. No vote was taken, but we urge any residents who would like to comment on the project to submit a letter of support or opposition to the ZBA. We have attached sample letters for your convenience, or return your own letter signed with your name and address to us by October 20. We will forward them to the ZBA. (You can also submit them directly to [email protected]. Reference Case: BOA-1208535 Address: 265-265C Minot Street Ward 16 Applicant: James Christopher)
Instructions for attending and participating the virtual hearing are online at Zoning Board of Appeal Hearing | Boston.gov.
*The developers had previously presented a plan proposing 5 townhouse-style units to AANA. This plan replaces it.

Yesterday was a beautiful day for our Flag Raising! The annual flag raising ceremony was founded by the late great Patricia O’neill, former president of AANA and after a 2 year break, we were really happy to host it again this year. Retired army veteran John Poles was given the honor of raising the flag at Rundel Park. It was exciting to see so many neighbors and kids in our post COVID world. Thanks a bunch to the group at AANA, President Cindy Fadden, Mary Kelly, Mary Beth Diener and Top chef Barry Fadden, who once again took the grill. And thanks to John Schneiderman for the video and photos.

Hi neighbors -- Just wondering if anyone in the area was a notary? I need some real estate closing documents notarized in the next couple of days and logistics are a little tricky for me right now.
Does anyone have any idea when the new Adams Street BPL building will open? There are no recent updates on the BPL's website 😕
Has anyone needed to replace a curved window? One of ours broke and I’m having a tough time finding someone who can replace it. Thank you!!
Thank you to District 3 City Councilor Frank Baker, along with Councilors Essaibi-George and Flaherty, for memorializing beloved Dorchester neighborhood leader Pat O’Neil by proposing naming the community room at the new Adams Street Branch Library in her memory.
Mr. Rogers taught us in times of crisis to “Look for the helpers.” In neighborhood activism, I have learned to “Look for the Do-ers,” the ones who always show up and get things done. Pat O’Neil was a legendary “do-er,” and I can’t imagine a more deserving or fitting person to be honored at the beautiful new library. The Ashmont Adams Neighborhood Association, of which she was a co-founder and served as president for decades, will soon be meeting in a beautiful new meeting space in a beautiful new Boston Public Library that she was instrumental in getting built. .

Today, Boston City Council voted unanimously to support renaming the community room in Adams St Library in memory of Patricia O’Neil, a longtime resident and community leader from Dorchester who we lost to COVID-19 last year.
As President of Ashmont Adams Neighborhood Association, Pat O’Neil dedicated her life to community service. She was a dear friend and one of my role models. If you knew her, you loved her. Thank you to co-sponsors Boston City Councilor Frank Baker and City Councilor Michael Flaherty.

Anyone know what may have been going on very late Thursday night (around midnight) in vicinity of Gallivan/Ely/Minot and Carruth/Adams quadrant?
