The support letter backs an alternate accessible entrance and route to the conservatory because the historic entrance’s four steps and garden paths do not meet accessibility standards. The variance is requested from the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board because the existing historic entrance cannot be feasibly adapted. The commission also approved or denied several property changes, including placing an installed gas meter at 1 Pickering Street in violation.
