Board rejects plan to replace old Hyde Park funeral home with apartments
34oakst.jpg




A developer's proposal to replace the old Laughlin Nichols Pennacchio Funeral Home at 34 Oak St. in Hyde Park with a three-story, 20-unit apartment building was defeated today when only got four votes from the Zoning Board of Appeal - state law requires at least five votes.

The board's 4-3 vote means developer Diarmaid McGregor of Milton has to wait a year before proposing anything for the roughly 9,750-square-foot site, a block away from River Street.

The Hyde Park Neighborhood Association and nearby residents opposed the proposal, saying it was out of character with the rest of the neighborhood, that it would cause noise and trash issues and traffic problems on routes taken by buses and students to nearby schools.

Doctor proposes expanding his practice into a building with 40 apartments on the Hyde Park/Mattapan line

Rendering of proposed new building on River Street



Dr. Jean Bonnet has filed plans with the BPDA to replace his current Hyde Park Health Associates at 745 River St. and a neighboring repair garage with a five-story building with his enlarged and updated medical practice on the first floor and 40 apartments above it.


Bonnet has owned 745 River St. for more than 20 years. He bought 735 River St., currently home to "overgrown, trash filled automobile repair service garage," to help make room for the new building, according to his filing with the BPDA. Registry of Deeds records show he paid $900,000 for the garage lot last May.


Under the proposal, 25 of the units would have two or three bedrooms. Seven of the units would be rented as affordable; roughly two more than would be required under the city's affordable-housing requirements.


The proposal, which anticipates construction time of 18 months, calls for 26 parking spaces.

That's kind of cool to see an owner-operator development like this. We don't get it very often in Boston these days, but that's how a not-insignificant chunk of development used to be done 100 years ago.

I think we see it more in some of the outer neighborhoods, where those owner-operator multi-floor buildings were shortened during the Great Depression. Off the top of my head, I can think of several that have been built or in approval process in Roslindale, for example, where the owner of the first floor shop (or that shop's long term landlord) is the developer.

Yup, there has been a push to restore the original buildings and housing back on top along the square - although I had always thought the tops got chopped during the 60s/70s as the city depopulated?

I think the big period of top chopping was the 1930's to cut taxes on the building. At least in Boston Proper that was the case.

I think that's generally what happened in Boston. But @bakgwailo makes a valid point specific to Roslindale, which is that some of the commercial buildings retained their upper floors in to the 60s, then lost them due to fire (often suspected arson). I was thinking about the more general concept, though, of buildings that were shortened now reverting to taller forms.
