Mr. Pisani inquired about the need to sprinkle the building. The Chair inquired about unit sizes. Office of Neighborhood Services, Councilor Ciommo and the Allston Civic Association were in favor. The motion to approve with BRA Design Review was accepted. However no building code relief was granted, therefore ISD will determine if a sprinkler system will be required.
