Zoning board says no to Wales Street homeless housing

The plan for 37 Wales Street The Zoning Board of Appeal on Tuesday rejected a proposal by the non-profit Heading Home to replace a crumbling 10-unit apartment building at 37 Wales St. in Dorchester with 23 new apartments rented to families trying to get out of homelessness. Heading Home had planned a building with no parking spaces for residents. The current building has ten.  “Most clients don’t have cars,” Heading Home CEO Danielle Ferrier told the board. Residents would be “transitioning out of homelessness” and allowed to earn no more than 30 percent of the Boston-area median income. But neighbors who testified against the plan said they didn’t believe that new residents wouldn’t promptly fill up the already parking-short Wales Street with cars.

The Filene s Hole of Jamaica Plain will remain unfinished even longer after board declines to let developer add a floor, more apartments to unfinished building

All boarded up. The Zoning Board of Appeal today rejected a developer s request to add another floor and double the number of apartments at 632-638 Centre St. in Jamaica Plain, which had been a hole in the ground for years before a developer finally got permission to build a three-story building, then stopped to try to get permission to finish the thing off as a four-story building. In February, the BPDA board approved Andrew Zuroff s proposal to add a floor and increase the number of apartments from 9 to 18, but the zoning board today sided with residents who said that approval would be rewarding somebody for something they shouldn t have done.
