“The Zoning Board of Appeal today approved plans by Brian and Jason Chavez to add a third floor to what is now a two-family house at 567 Adams St., between Lydon Way and Mallett Street in Dorchester and to build a rear extension with five townhouse units.
One of the condos would be sold as affordable, to a family making no more than 80% of the Boston area median income, their attorney, Mike Ross, told the board.
The units in what is now a house on the property would have three bedrooms each; the townhouse units would have two bedrooms each.
Their plans call for nine parking spaces on what would be a single parcel that combines what are now two separate lots……”

New apartment building approved across from Ashmont station​

Rendering of proposed six-story apartment building with ground-floor restaurant space


“The Zoning Board of Appeal today approved plans for a six-story, 33-unit apartment building at 555-563 Talbot Ave. in Dorchester.

The plans, by building owner Mark Little, include ground-floor restaurant space. Little's attorney, George Morancy said, however, that the Mix, which occupies the one-story building now on the site, where the Ashmont Grill used to be, will not be returning.

The new building would have 23 one-bedroom apartments, 8 two-bedroom units and 2 three-bedroom units, Morancy told the board. Six of the apartments will be rented as affordable, to people making no more than 60% of the Boston area median income.

The building, located just across Peabody Square from the Ashmont T station, served by the Red and Mattapan lines and ten bus lines, would have no parking. It would have indoor storage space for 46 bicycles……”

Nearly 200-year-old Dorchester house could be expanded and wrapped with four-story buildings in new residential complex​


no surprises lmao

Several speakers expressed frustration that earlier feedback had not led to changes in the proposal.

“There is not a single thing on this plan that has been changed,” one resident said.

Others questioned whether community input would ultimately influence the outcome.

“When is it enough that you hear ‘no’?” asked Minot Street resident Maggie Mancuso.
