Gove Street Citizens Association meeting agenda
Gove Street Citizens Association (GSCA) next monthly meeting is Monday, Jan. 27, at 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Catherine Leonard-McLean Community Room, Logan Airport Rental Car Center.

• Project Presentations:
EBNHC
The proposal before the Zoning Board of Appeal is to amend the zoning authorizations for the 20 Maverick Square and 10 Gove Street East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC) facilities to remove the references to the provision of ancillary parking at the following off-site lots: 75-115 Bremen Street, 164 Orleans Street, and 147-163 Orleans Street. We will also authorize existing parking spaces located at 21 Gove Street and 79 Paris Street for use ancillary to the EBNHC facilities. The purpose of this amendment is to allow for the release of liens on the off-site lots. EBNHC is not requesting authorization to develop the off-site lots; any future development on the off-site lots would require full public and community review through the City’s Article 80 process.
198 & 200 Maverick
The proposals are to change the occupancy of the three-family residential dwelling to a four-family residential dwelling.
14B Geneva
The proposal is to erect a four-family building with four parking spaces. Abutters’ meeting is scheduled for January 22. EBNHC Education and Training Institute, 6:50 PM.
279 Maverick
Brief Update
LOCATION: The Catherine Leonard-McLean (formerly Noddle Island) Community Room is located on the first floor of the Logan Airport Rental Car Center, situated at the end of Porter Street. Free event parking in front of the building and in the Porter Street parking lot adjacent to the building.
Shamrock Splash Kickoff Party
Join Save the Harbor/ Save the Bay in kicking off the 10th Annual Shamrock Splash on Thursday, January 30, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at Harpoon Brewery.

KICKOFF RSVP
The 10th Annual Shamrock Splash will take place on Sunday, March 8, at the BCYF Curley Community Center M Street Beach in South Boston. The Splash site is up, so you can register today for just $20 and help make this year’s splash the best ever!
Splash Registration
Day of check in will begin at 10 a.m., the Splash will be at 11 a.m., and Boston Harbor’s best winter beach party starts as soon as we’re all back on land! All proceeds raised by the Harpoon Shamrock Splash directly benefit Save the Harbor/Save the Bay and DCR’s Better Beaches Program, providing FREE events and activities on our region’s public beaches from Nahant to Nantasket.
Last year the Harpoon Shamrock Splash raised more than $50,000 to support free concerts and beach festivals, sand sculpting competitions, sand raking demonstrations and circus performances on the region’s public beaches in Lynn, Nahant, Revere, Winthrop, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy and Hull.
This is our 10th Annual Harpoon Shamrock Splash, and it’s going to be the biggest yet, bringing more people to the beach to enjoy a refreshing Harpoon beer and the cool clean water of Boston Harbor, along with the chance to win round-trip flights from JetBlue and other great prizes, all for a very good cause.
We can’t wait to kickoff the year with you!
See you on January 30, at Harpoon and on the beach on March 8th!
