Thank
You,

a
brief
opening
statement.
I
just

for
your

on
this
issue
and
just

Boston.
A
D
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
I,
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
work,
both
the
previous
term
as
council
president
and
in
this
committee
on
having
these
hearings
and
I'm,
bringing
these
folks
from
the
BPD,
a
community
and
our
council
together
to
make
sure
that
we're
holding
ourselves
accountable
as
a
city
on
how
we're
developing
and
how
we're
using
the
extraordinary
powers
that
the
BPD
a
does,
have
and
make
sure
we're
doing
in
a
way
that
is
beneficial
to
the
city
now
and
in
the
future.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
more.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
F
My
name
is
Ford
Cavallari
I
appreciate
the
time
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
Alliance
of
downtown
civic
organizations,
which
is
an
umbrella
group
representing
the
nine
largest
downtown
neighborhood
associations
for
the
city
of
Boston.
We,
as
as
many
of
the
councillors
to
remember,
were
involved
in
the
discussions
two
years
ago,
a
little
over
two
years
ago,
when
the
BPD
a
was
going
for
the
extension
of
the
urban
renewal
zones.
F
Our
going
in
position
was
that
we
thought
that
the
urban
renewal
zones
really
needed
to
be
sunsetted
rather
than
extended,
but
we
all
you
know,
through
a
bunch
of
tests
of
committee
meetings
and
and
testimony
the
City
Council
came
up
with
a
compromise
with
Michelle's
leadership
that
there
would
be
a
six-year
extension
which
we
were
comfortable
with
and
DHCD
issued
a
memo
on
August
3rd,
which
basically
stipulated
in
addition
to
the
six-year
extension.
Two
stipulations
were
within
two
years
of
the
date
of
approval,
which
was
August
3rd
2016.
F
All
of
the
land
disposition
agreements
will
be
catalogued
now,
I'm.
Confident
if
this
meeting
is
like
the
rest
of
the
meetings
that
we'll
see
yet
more
details
of
more
Lda
stuff,
that
has
been
catalogued
and
it's
nice
that
that's
ongoing,
it's
it's
a
little
behind
schedule,
but
and
and
I'm
not
I,
don't
want
to
browbeat
on
that.
But
what
I
do
want
to
point
out
is
that
I
think
this
stipulation
of
the
two
years
getting
the
lDA's.
F
F
There
needs
to
be
a
plan
not
just
formulated
for
the
first
time,
but
with
buy-in
with
discussion
with
advice
and
counsel
from
this
from
the
City
Council
and
hopefully
within
a
community
input
process
that
says
rich
and
as
far-reaching
as
the
community
input
process
that
you
guys
ran
during
the
socialization
of
the
ten
year
of
the
extension
that
you
guys
were
seeking.
You
were
seeking
10
years.
You
you
received
six.
F
So
we
think
that
this
three-year
midpoint
plan
is
really
really
important
and
I'm
concerned
that
we
have
not
yet
begun
the
discussion
of
how
that's
going
to
come
into
place.
We
we,
as
the
community
groups
in
downtown,
are
very
interested
and
in
fact
expecting
that
there
will
be
some
community
voice
that
comes
into
the
process
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that.
As
my
opening
comment,
you
know,
I
will
defer
to
the
BPD
a
to
hear
what
they
have
to
say,
but
I'm
hoping
to
hear
a
lot
more
about
this.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
G
The
second
thing
is
how
important
community
process
is.
There
are
a
great
number
of
people
in
this
city
who
spent
a
lot
of
time
as
high-ranking
amateurs
working
on
development
issues
and
I
think
that
we
bring
a
lot
of
wisdom
along
with
that
experience
and
I
think
that
if
the
city
doesn't
involve
us,
it's
a
loss
for
the
city
and
and
frankly,
you
know,
we
don't
charge
a
whole
lot.
G
So
I
think
that
it's
it's
a
very
positive
and
economic
thing,
and
my
experience
with
with
the
community
process
is
that
when
it's
a
vibrant
process,
everything
that's
that
goes
in
in
certain
shape,
comes
out
in
better
shape
and
I.
Think
it's
really
really
important
that
that
would
that
be
honored.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
so
we'll
pause
in
public
testimony
until
after
the
panel
and
now
hand
it
over
to
oh
I,
wanted
to
recognize
that
councillor
to
McCarthy
has
joined
us
as
well.
Council
McCarthy.
Would
you
like
to
make
any
statement,
then
we'll
hand
it
over
to
director
golden
in
the
panel
and
you've
been
through
this
before
and
very
much
appreciate
the
presentation?
So
if
you
want
to
make
any
opening
statements
and
then
let
us
know
when
to
dim
the
lights
great.
H
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
opportunity
to
present
again
on
the
subject
of
our
urban
renewal
efforts,
in
accordance
with
the
plan
that
we
agreed
to
with
the
City
Council
two
years
ago,
I'd
especially
like
to
welcome
any
new
members
of
the
council
to
this
conversation,
which
has
been
going
on
with
the
body
as
a
whole
for
quite
some
time.
I'd
also
like
to
recognize
Chris
McClay,
who
is
the
deputy,
general
general
counsel
and
hearings
manager
for
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Development
at
the
state.
H
The
DHCD
Chris
is
in
the
audience
with
us
today,
I've,
given
this
overview
of
our
urban
renewal
efforts
at
previous
City
Council
update
sessions,
but
I'd
like
to
briefly
reiterate
a
few
points
for
you
and
any
constituent,
councillor
or
viewer,
who
may
be
new
to
this
ongoing
work.
Urban
renewal
dates
back
to
the
American
Housing
Act
of
1949,
when
the
federal
government
after
World
War
two
began
to
invest
great
sums
of
money
to
redevelop
cities
that
were
rapidly
declining
in
the
post-war
period.
The
Boston
Redevelopment
Authority
was
created
as
Boston's
urban
renewal
agency
in
1957.
H
Urban
renewal
today
is
a
much
different
tool
than
it
was
in
the
1950s
1960s
1970s
and
we
as
an
agency,
exercise
these
powers
in
a
much
more
nuanced
and
sensitive
manner
within
the
air
to
the
wants
and
needs
of
communities.
Urban
renewal
provides
us
with
a
set
of
tools
that
encourages
responsible
redevelopment
and
revitalization
of
Boston's
neighborhoods
where,
but
for
these
tools,
development
may
not
have
otherwise
been
possible.
H
The
powers
are
used
to
make
blight
findings,
assemble
parcels
of
land,
clear
title
to
establish
clear
ownership,
establish
land
use
controls
for
uses
such
as
open
space
in
the
promotion
of
affordable
housing.
As
you
may
recall,
the
Boston
City
Council
approved
a
six-year
extension
of
our
urban
renewal
plans
in
March
2016
in
April
2016.
H
With
this
action
plan,
DHC
Dee's
approval
came
after
we
facilitated
a
robust
year-and-a-half
long
public
engagement
process
to
inform
residents
of
Boston
about
the
history
of
urban
renewal
and
to
listen
to
solicit
feedback
about
the
future
use
of
these
tools.
This
effort
included
over
a
dozen
community
workshops,
public
meetings
before
the
Boston
City
Council
in
a
comprehensive
website
as
part
of
the
DHCD
and
City
Council
urban
renewal
extension
approvals.
We
agreed
as
an
agency
to
provide
you
regular
updates
on
the
progress
of
our
work
today.
H
Some
of
you
may
recognize
Chris
from
his
previous
role
in
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services,
where
he
served
as
the
neighborhood
liaison
to
Charlestown
Chris
joined
this
effort
earlier
this
year
to
manage
the
day-to-day
urban
renewal
work
at
the
BP
da
and
was
certainly
delighted
to
have
him
on
our
team.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
records,
manager,
Nate,
Smith,
GIS
senior,
analyst
Alice's,
Caen
web
content
manager,
Lee
manager,
Emily.
We
gia
landscape
urban
designer
Kenia,
Thompson
senior
housing,
Compliance
Manager,
Mary,
Lou,
Mendonsa
legal
assistants,
JoVE
Rose,
Bordeaux
and
Alec
Benelli.
H
H
Through
this
effort,
we've
collected
granular
data
in
an
attempt
to
present
a
comprehensive
inventory
of
the
lDA's
and
other
restrictions
on
BRB,
PDA
property
and
BPD,
a
property
that
was
conveyed
to
others.
Since
our
first
date
update
in
September
2016,
we
have
presented
13
urban
renewal
areas
to
you
today,
we'll
be
presenting
the
final
three
urban
renewal
areas:
the
West
End
downtown
waterfront
Fanueil
Hall
in
Charlestown
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Janet
Carlsen
I'd
like
to
update
you
on
the
status
of
the
commitments
made
in
the
action
plan.
First.
H
Regarding
the
minor
modification
procedures,
which
were
a
significant
topic
of
conversation
two
plus
years
ago,
we
are
continuing
to
notify
the
City
Council
and
the
state
DHCD
of
all
minor
modifications
to
our
urban
renewal
areas
in
accordance
with
the
conciliation
agreement.
For
the
south
end
notification
of
minor
modifications
within
the
south
end
urban
renewal
plan
area
are
also
extended
to
state
legislators
that
represent
those
areas
impacted
by
the
relevant
minor
modifications.
We've
also
been
providing
the
City
Council
with
digital
copies
of
minor
modification
notices
through
email
transmission.
H
Second,
in
our
ongoing
efforts
to
be
as
transparent,
accessible
and
responsive
as
possible,
we
are
continually
updating
our
technology
and
website
to
best
reflect
our
urban
renewal
activities.
The
presentations
and
links
to
the
videos
of
our
last
three
City
Council
updates
are
available
on
our
website.
We've
provided
a
link
that
allows
any
member
of
the
public
to
directly
generate
an
inquiry
about
any
urban
renewal
matter
to
Chris
Breen,
who
will
more
actively
be
able
on
a
daily
basis,
to
help
with
any
specific
question
regarding
urban
renewal.
We've.
H
H
Third,
the
2016
action
plan
asks
that
we
examine
our
existing
procedures
for
the
disposition
of
BPD
a
owned
land
and
to
revise
protocols
accordingly
in
such
a
manner
that
reflects
community
planning
goals
and
priorities.
All
indisposition
x'
involve
a
community
process
that
solicits
feedback
from
the
surrounding
neighborhood
stakeholders.
This
feedback
is
then
incorporated
into
community
planning
goals
and
priorities.
H
Over
the
past
two
years,
we've
gone
through
thousands
of
documents
prioritizing
accuracy
and
thoroughness
to
ensure
that
we've
laid
the
best
foundation
for
the
next
steps
in
significant
work
ahead.
Well,
this
is
taken
longer
than
we'd
hoped.
We
believe.
The
high
quality
of
our
work
today
will
translate
into
better
results
for
the
citizens
of
Boston
for
many
years
to
come
now
over
the
next
few
months,
we'll
be
working
closely
with
our
planning
and
real
estate
departments
to
ensure
that
we
catalog
and
develop
a
plan
by
which
to
manage
dispose,
retain
or
redevelop
our
land
assets.
H
With
the
same
due
diligence
as
the
work
we've
done
over
the
past
two
years.
We
look
forward
to
sharing
the
results
of
that
work
soon.
We
are
as
committed
to
a
transparent,
accessible
and
responsive
public
engagement
process
to
inform
residents
of
Boston
about
our
progress
and
next
steps,
as
we
are
to
working
diligently
to
meet
the
commitments
in
the
existing
action
plan.
Looking
forward
to
the
next
milestones
in
our
action
plan,
our
community
engagement
strategy
regarding
a
timetable
for
sunsetting
urban
renewal
plans,
re-evaluating
boundaries,
making
recommendations
for
modifications
to
existing
urban
renewal
plan
areas.
H
I
These
were
the
original
terminal
areas
several
have
already
expired.
These
are
the
existing
ones.
We
have
16
at
the
present
time.
These
are
the
expired
Barbarino
plan
areas
and
then
we
laid
over
the
existing
urban
renewal
areas
with
the
city
council
district.
So
you
could
see
whose
district
they're
in
so
in
the
updates
in
update
one.
We
covered
the
central
business
district,
school
Franklin,
the
central
business
district,
Boylston
Essex
and
Brunswick
King.
For
the
number
two
update
we
did:
the
central
business
district,
South
Station,
North,
Station,
Government,
Center
and
Southend
the
last
one.
I
Now
we're
gonna
start
with
the
West
End
and
before
this
is
the
West
End
plan
originally
and
before
I
start
I
just
want
to
say
something
about
this
area.
This
was
created
in
1957
and
since
it's
one
of
our
early
plans,
the
way
they
did,
the
dispositions
was
quite
different
than
the
other
areas.
They
basically
leased
out
the
land
with
options
to
purchase
and
when
they
purchased
the
land
from
us,
the
leases
became
restrictions.
They've
been
affected
came
in
Lda,
so
you
aren't
looking
necessarily
with
the
older
ones
of
these
four
Landis
position
agreements.
I
If
you're
looking
at
the
leases
for
the
restriction
language,
this
is
on
the
present
day
assessing
map.
This
is
where
the
boundaries
are
and
the
different
areas
and
I'm
just
going
to
kind
of
go
through
all
of
them.
The
older
ones,
as
I
said
that
were
dispersed,
were
dispersed
with
leases
and
then
options
to
purchase
the
newer
ones.
You'll
have
a
few
land
disposition
agreements,
so
this
first
one
is
Emerson
place
and
it
is
commercial
and
residential
buildings
and
they
did
large
transfers
when
they
did
this
and
I'm
parcel
1b.
I
We
have
Whittier
place,
which
also
has
a
few
buildings.
It's
residential
blossom
court.
This
picture
is
actually
the
backside
of
blossom
court.
If
you
go
around
the
other
side,
it's
got
the
commercial
areas,
so
this
is
commercial.
It's
got
like
sandwich
shop,
it's
a
nail
place
and
dry-cleaning
I,
think
and
then
there's
offices
above
then
there's
Hawthorne
place.
This
was
another
large
transfer
and
these
all
had
leases
that
became
restrictions.
I
I
Now
we're
gonna
jump
to
the
other
side,
we're
going
to
jump
over
to
we're
gonna,
go
by
numbers,
so
we're
jumping
over
to
Martha
Road.
This
is
on
the
back
side.
This
is
a
mail
old
house
which
is
affordable
the
next
one.
This
is
an
all
and
disposition
agreement.
This
was
one
of
our
later
transfers
occurred
in
the
90s
and
there's
a
Landis
position
agreement.
There
are
several
tiers
of
affordability.
It's
also
got
the
West
End
Museum
in
it
going
back
to
the
leases
that
turned
into
restrictions.
This
is
just
this
picture.
I
I
I
Then,
of
course,
the
West
End
library,
which
is
a
public
parcel
that
was
on
the
early
no
parcel
and
that
was
transferred
by
deed.
This
is
the
Gina
Cleary
residence,
and
this
is
parcel
7
7,
a
7
B
Blackstone.
Now
we're
jumping
back
down
to
blossom
Street
kind
of
next
to
the
down
the
street
from
the
hotel,
the
Wyndham
Hotel.
This
is
an
elder.
It's
a
fordable
housing
for
elderly
and
disabled
people,
the
Shriners
Hospital
for
Children,
its
own
personal,
eight
MGH.
If
when
we
so
MGH
has
one
big
parcel.
I
So
when
we
put
that
we
have
a
restriction
on
it,
it
looks
like
the
whole
parcel
is
restricted,
but
if
you
can
see,
we
only
gave
them
a
little
corner
which
is
actually
the
down
ramp
to
their
loading
area,
and
that's
all
we
gave
them.
This
is
the
synagogue
which
is
back
behind
some
of
the
housing
buildings
and,
lastly,
we
gave
to
the
MDC
the
area
for
the
overpass
over
sterile
drive.
I
So
what
do
we
have
left
to
do
on
West
End?
For
the
most
part,
it's
certificates
of
completion
for
those
things
under
construction.
There's
a
under
construction
there's
a
few
under
construction.
There
are
some
affordability.
There
is
some
affordability,
mainly
the
only
affordability
restricted
by
us,
is
in
West
End
place
as
well
as
we
acquired
some
affordability
in
Emerson
place
by
virtue
of
some
off-site
units
that
we
received
and
they
will
need
to
be
extended
after
the
30
year
period
is
up.
It's
a
next
one.
We're
gonna
do
is
downtown
waterfront
Janet.
A
C
C
C
C
I
C
B
I
E
That
is
something
we've
talked
about
with
DND
and
others,
but
it
is
a
all,
affordable,
housing
building
that
is
expiring
next
few
years,
it's
not
imminent
I
believe
it's
within
the
next
six
years,
which,
while
that
might
seem
like
a
long
time
to
us,
is
a
very
short
amount
of
time
for
the
residents
there
and
given
its
location.
Given
the
fact
that
this
is
an
urban
renewal
parcel
that
I
think
we
need
to
be
making
sure
it's
beneficial
to
the
city.
E
I
would
put
to
you
as
the
BPD
a
what
your
agency
can
do
to
address
the
expiring
use
they're
independently
and
what
other
thoughts
you
might
have,
and
you
know
off
the
top
of
your
head,
whatever
may
be
direct
authority
that
we
still
have-
or
you
all
still
have
over
this
parcel,
but
I'd
also
like
to
put
it.
You
know
in
your
inbox
so
to
speak
about
thinking
about
this.
Hundreds
of
units
downtown,
you
know,
transit,
oriented,
close
to
medical
centers
that
are
really
important,
not
for
a
community.
H
H
H
I
H
So
perhaps
the
LDA
does
not
afford
an
additional
layer
of
protection
beyond
the
term
of
the
expiring
use
mortgage.
As
you
know,
there's
a
phenomenon
we
deal
with
all
all
over
the
city.
There
ticking
time
bombs
their
40-year
mortgages,
often
when
they
come
due
the
owner
can
can
move
them
to
market
rate.
H
So
in
a
situation
like
that,
if
we
do
not
retain
regulatory
power
that
is
effective
in
addressing
that
issue
with
regard
to
lDA's
or
any
other
kind
of
regulatory
agreement
on
formally
BPD
a
parcels,
we
work
very
closely
on
a
regular
basis
with
the
city's
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
to
see
if
we
can
either
come
up
with
a
program
or
some
other
kind
of
arrangement
with
the
existing
owner
or
a
new
owner
to
maintain
affordability.
We've
had
some
really
significant
successes
in
that
regard.
H
Obviously
the
ultimate
protection
is
is
with
a
mission
oriented
owner
who
is
in
the
business
of
affordable
housing
and
that's
why
they
own
it,
but
to
the
extent
we're
not
dealing
with
that.
We
enter
into
very
aggressively
internt
and
conversations
to
make
sure
that
affordability
and
is
preserved
in
displacement
is
and.
E
I
understand
this
is
in
a
unique
situation
in
the
City
of
Austin.
We
had
a
bunch
in
the
Fenway
neighborhood.
Also
I
was
happy
to
work
with
the
Fenway,
cdcd
nd
state
agencies
and
others
to
preserve
not
a
PRA
parcel,
but
in
the
Fenway
just
last
year
the
Burbank
gardens
nearly
50
units
of
affordable
housing.
But
this
stands
out
to
me
in
that
it
was
an
urban
renewal
zone.
It's
well
I.
My
understanding
is
that
we
don't
want
to
do
not
have
an
Lda
that
permanently
restricts
it.
E
There
is
an
added
responsibility,
I
think
from
your
agency
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
make
this
permanently
affordable
for
the
people.
I
mean
the
current
residents,
even
many
of
whom
are
currently
putting
up
with
major
disruptions
once
again
from
the
garden
garage
project,
next
door
and
lived
there.
I
really
have
no
other
place
to
go
and
I.
E
Sometimes,
when
we're
talking
about
these
issues,
because
things
are
happening
every
day,
it
is
coming
up
and
I'd
like
to
put
that
on
there
other
than
that
I
I,
think
things
and
I
think
the
residents
in
that
neighborhood
do
feel
that
despite
disagreements
of
the
garden
garage
for
the
process
and
engagement
from
your
agency
has
improved,
it
doesn't
mean
everything's,
perfect,
but
I'm,
but
I
do
appreciate
that
and
I
think
we
need
to
continue
anything
else.
Moving
forward,
make
sure
that
community
is
involved
thanks
very
much
councillor.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
councillor
Zakim
Janet,
could
you
just
say
one
more
time:
I
sort
of
heard
it,
but
I
need
help
understanding.
You
said
these
are
not
lDA's
they're
about
leases
because
it
was
essentially
a
contract
and
then
with
an
option
to
purchase
and
most
of
the
answers
ended
up,
purchasing
them
and
that's
what
happened
so.
I
What
happened
was
this
was
started
so
long
ago,
so
the
later
parcels
that
we
transferred
were
transferred.
The
way
ones
are
done
nowadays
with
land
disposition
agreements,
indeed
the
early
ones.
For
some
reason-
and
this
is
the
only
area
of
seeing
it
like
large
swaths
of
land,
with
leases
on
with
options
of
purchased
built
in
and
then
what
it
says
it
says
when
they
purchase
everything,
goes
away
about
the
rent
and
stuff,
but
the
restriction
itself
and
the
way
it
restricts
it
is
it
ties
it
to
the
urban
renewal
plan.
I
It
doesn't
specifically
say
it's
going
to
be
like
residential.
We
say
to
the
terms
of
the
plan,
so
then
you
have
to
go
back
to
look
at
the
plan
and
see
what
was
allowed
on
that
site.
That's
the
way
they
were
done.
We've
had
a
few
problems
with
it
in
there
where
people
think
they're
gone
and
they
aren't
reading
the
documents
and
they
think
because
they
bought
it.
That
restriction
isn't
there.
But
if
it's
very
clear,
if
you
read
the
leases,
the
restriction
is
still
there
and.
A
I
The
one
I
think
we
were
looking
at
Shriners
that
actually
has
a
land
disposition
on
it.
Okay,
now
I
can
like,
if
you
want
specifically
I,
can
make
a
list
of
the
parcels
and
I
can
tell
you
what
your
leases
and
which
were
the
later
ones
with
lDA's
I
didn't
do
it
for
this
presentation,
but
we
have
folder
files
on
everything
now.
A
So
and
I'm
gonna
save
most
of
my
big-picture
questions
for
after
to
get
to
the
other
sections,
but
just
for
this
one,
for
example,
when
most
of
the
when
there
are
relatively
few
lDA's
and
we
sort
of
know
what
the
uses
are,
is
there
a
way
to
then
kind
of
codify
that
in
zoning
and
then
remove
the
the
urban
renewal
and
sort
of
retire
or
sunset?
This
urban
renewal
map
or
what's
the
goal
then
Amy
with
this
particular
I.
I
Think
when
you
get
more
uses
through
zoning
right,
you'd
increase
the
uses
it's.
This
is
West
End,
yeah
I'm,
just
saying
that
they're
very
specific,
like
there's
only
a
few
uses
for
each
parcel
listed
in
the
urban
renewal
plan.
I
would
think
if
you
did
a
zoning
you'd
get
a
lot
more
uses
on
it.
I
mean
I,
don't
know
if
that
would
work,
but.
I
A
A
J
A
E
A
H
A
H
A
A
A
H
If
we're
working
with
a
community
process,
obviously
and
working
with
the
council,
if
we
came
to
the
conclusion
and
that
that
either
you
know
the
neighborhood
of
the
urban
renewal
area,
generally
speaking
our
pieces
of
it,
there
was
no
further
need
for
these
tools.
You
know
I
think
we
would
feel
comfortably
as
spire
to
shedding
some
of
this
geography,
because
we've
accomplished
the
goals
and
that's
so
we're
still
in
the
the
fact-finding
mode.
What
exactly
is
going
on
out
there
with
regard
to
the
lDA's
and
the
regulatory
controls,
and
what?
H
I
I
Okay,
I'm,
just
gonna,
show
you
a
few.
Now
we
didn't
go
in
the
whole
site.
Some
of
these.
We
just
gave
parts
of
the
parcels,
so
don't
think
we
owned
everything.
First,
one
Rose
Wharf.
We
did
not
own
everything.
We
own
parts
of
it
that
was
rose
water,
long,
we're
gonna
go
down
along
the
waterfront.
We
have
Harbor
towers,
we
owned
quartz
parts
of
it.
I
The
next
thing
we
did
more
recently
was
Frog
Pond
Foundation,
we
discontinued
parts
of
streets,
and
we
made
a
park
here,
that's
in
copy
in
the
past
15
years,
I'm
guessing
there's
the
new
link,
England
New
England
Aquarium,
the
Long
Wharf
from
area
hotel.
That's
when
we
owned
the
whole
parcel,
then
Christopher,
Columbus
Park
was
urban
old
parcel
and
next
to
it
is
the
rose,
kennedy
garden.
I
I
So
basically
the
building
stayed
and
they
did
rehabilitation
on
these,
and
so
we
have
lots
of
lDA's
on
this
one
like
twenty
or
thirty
north
end
elderly,
of
course,
you've
all
heard
of
that
I'm
going
over
to
the
other
side
of
the
herb
moon'll
area
over
on
the
other
side
of
the
marketplace.
This
is
185
state
used
to
have
our
offices
in
it.
You
filled
it
and
it's
been
developed
marketplace
center,
which
is
at
the
end
of
the
marketplace.
It's
an
urban
or
parcel
and
then,
of
course,
there's
Quincy
Market
I'm
this.
I
If
you
look
at
the
plan,
you
can
see
a
little
notch.
That's
Durgan
Park
was
not
part
of
it
and
if
you
look
at
the
map,
if
you
look
at
the
picture,
there's
a
billboard
on
top
because
we
don't
control
it
to
just
warn
you.
There
is
more
control
with
every
normal
um
doc
square
garage
is
also
in
this
urban
renewal
area.
I
The
Bostonian
hotel
and
I'm
not
hitting
every
parcel.
There's
a
couple
more
parcels
on
the
other
side
of
the
Bostonian
that
are
also
are
better.
Also,
every
north
and
Lda
controlled
I
meant,
of
course,
60
state
straddles,
Government,
Center
and
downtown
waterfront,
its
parcels,
13
and
14,
and
government
center
and
portions
of
11
in
downtown
waterfront.
Now
what
do
we
have
left
to
do
here?
We're
working
right
now
on
the
public
realm,
so
with
60
State
Street
there
were
supposed
to
be
easements
cutting
through.
I
You
know
how,
if
you
go
up
on
the
plaza
and
you
cut
through
over
to
State
Street,
that
was
supposed
to
be
an
easement.
We
are
actually
getting
those
now,
so
they
will
be
in
place
hopefully
into
the
air
and
that's
the
one
of
the
public
realm
things
that
had
to
be
done.
Otherwise,
it's
probably
certificates
of
completion,
there's
not
really
any
housing,
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
deed,
restricted
housing
that
I
can
think
up
there
did
you
want
to
stop
here
before?
Yes,.
C
I
B
H
North
and
south
market,
owned
by
the
BPD,
a
and
in
leased
to
the
current
lease
holder,
asking
ashkenazi
Holdings.
So
that's
north
and
south,
the
city
of
Boston
actually
owns
the
central
market,
place
the
central
building,
the
main
building
of
Quincy
Market,
but
has
leased
it
to
the
BPD
a
and
so
now
the
BPD
a
is
is
the
lessee
of
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
sub
lessee
in
that
case
is
Ashkenazi
Holdings.
H
I
C
What
what
are
the
opportunities
in
the
downtown
area
that
BP
PA
is
going
to
work
to
build
some
affordable
housing
in
this
neighborhood
I
do
see
a
lot
of
housing
going
up
in
the
downtown
area?
I
represent
a
good
portion
of
this
area.
You
know
going
down
Broad
Street,
there's
there's
several
buildings
that
are
going
up,
but
is
there
an
opportunity
to
build
any
affordable
housing
in
that
area?
C
H
H
It
wasn't
granular
parcel
by
parcel.
This
is
going
to
be
a
far
more
granular
exercise
and
we're
looking
at
at
the
core
downtown
extending
over
through
Chinatown
to
the
Turnpike
and
incoming
through
the
financial
district
to
the
the
city
hall
area.
In
that
planning
study,
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
everything
high-density
uses,
what's
appropriate,
what's
inappropriate
so
that
we
have
a
brand-new
planning
study
that
informs
brand-new
zoning
and
brand-new
uses
in
the
core
downtown.
So
that's
something
we're
gonna
be
looking
very
carefully
at
and
in
that
process
just
got
underway.
H
We've
committed
significant
resources
to
it.
You
know,
I.
Think
we've
been
very
overt
about
our
belief
that
if
you
look
at
the
the
city's
land
mass,
the
the
only
place
that
really
isn't
a
residential
neighborhood
has
a
significant
residential
component
as
the
financial
district.
So
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
that
is
there?
Is
there
other
good
opportunities
for
residential
development
in
in
the
in
the
in
the
financial
district?
H
Can
we
identify
them
and
plan
for
them,
so
I
think
you'll
you'll
probably
be
pleased
with
some
of
that
product
again,
it's
just
begun,
but
we
certainly
look
forward
to
your
input
as
well
as
neighbors.
Input
with
regard
to
where
housing
is
is
best
located
where
affordable
housing
is
is,
is
most
viable
in
in
the
downtown
neighborhood.
H
C
H
H
H
On
that
I,
don't
I
know
that
we're
working
closely
with
with
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
and
the
owner
/
manager
of
that
that
Housing
Development
to
identify
ways
forward
where
the
affordability
is
maintained,
because
just
as
kind
they
can
pointed
out.
This
is
another
one
of
those
buildings
where
affordability
was
only
guaranteed
for
30
to
40
years
I'm.
Guessing
this
is
a
40-year
expiring
news
mortgage.
So
as
soon
as
that
mortgage
expires,
they
could
in
theory
if
they
chose
to
move
it
to
market
rate.
H
And
again
this
is
one
of
the
buildings
that
we're
working
with
the
developer.
But
my
bet
is
that
we
don't
have
an
actual
solution
in
hand,
yet
I
feel
confident
that
both
agencies
of
city
government
are
engaging
the
owner
of
that
development
of
the
manager
that
development
to
find
a
way
forward
that
maintains
affordability
and
avoids
displacement
of
the
existing
residence.
Okay.
H
Next
to
the
Tufts
Hospital
garage
down
near
the
weighing
Center
in
the
theater
district,
there
is
a
developer
seeking
to
do
a
significant
mixed-use
project
and
in
our
goal
there
stated
in
the
RFP
and
and
the
response
to
that
RFP
did
address
our
demand,
an
expectation
that
any
development
there
commit
to
significant
numbers
of
affordable
units.
So
again
that
project
remains
under
review,
but
we
are
hoping
that
we
can
frankly
score
a
significant
win
for
the
neighborhood
with
regard
to
the
creation
of
a
housing
and
significant
numbers
of
affordable
units.
H
C
You
and
I
just
have
one
final
question:
I
don't
mean
to
monopolize
the
conversation
as
it
relates
to
as
it
relates
to
Chinatown
this
there's
a
parcel
of
land,
that's
owned
by
MassDOT,
the
Reggie
Wong
athletic
facility,
it's
next
to
the
old,
Wang
building
and
off
of
off
of
the
highway.
But
it's
really
the
only
at
the
outdoor
athletic
facility
in
Chinatown.
C
There's
this
volleyball
courts,
there's
there's
basketball
courts
and
there's
outdoor
space
for
people
to
play,
play
sports
right,
and
my
concern
would
be
if
that
was
developed
by
MassDOT,
that
the
residents
of
Chinatown
would
not
have
any
athletic
place
to
play
sports.
So
that
would
be
a
concern
of
mine,
so
I
just
want
to.
Let
BPA
know
about
that
that
if,
if
this
is
developed,
that
there
will
be
no
opportunity
for
our
community
to
play,
sports
provides
a
tremendous
service
to
the
people
of
Chinatown.
He
and
the
leather
district
as
well.
I.
C
H
Councilor
in
in
rest-assured
a
good
thing
about
good
than
going
on
right
now
and
and
I
couldn't
speak
to
my
my
tenure
in
this
job.
But
in
recent
years
the
the
relationships
between
City
Hall
and
the
Boston
planning
and
development
agency
in
the
state
Department
of
Transportation
are
quite
healthy.
We're
involved
in
all
of
their
planning
efforts
and
we
involve
them
where
they
equities.
In
the
conversation
in
ours,
there's
free-falling
communication
back
and
forth.
We
welcome
their
voice
and
they
welcome
ours
in
playing
and
development
decisions
associated
with
state
parcels.
H
So
so,
if
there
was
ever
any
any
interest
in
redevelopment
either
on
that
site
or
in
more
likely
in
the
immediate
vicinity,
we'd
be
very
focused
upon
protecting
that
that
key
recreational
space
for
Chinatown
in
the
leather
district,
so
we'd
be
on
it
and
I'd
like
to
think
that
have
passed
as
prologue
in
our
relationship
with
d-o-t
remains
healthy,
as
I
expect
it
to
that
they
would
be
sensitive,
they'd,
probably
be
sensitive
to
that
need
without
our
voice,
but
we'd
sent
certainly
at
our
voice.
To
that
conversation.
For
sure
no.
C
So
if
we,
if
we
lost
that
there'd,
be
a
terrible
impact
on
the
on
the
neighborhood
on
the
quality
of
life
of
the
residents
so
I
hear
about
it
often
not
only
do
we
need
to
keep
it,
we
need
to
almost
we
need
to
put
money
into
it
and
fix
it
up
and
try
to
make
it
the
best
athletic
location
we
possibly
can
so
I
appreciate
you
support
on
that,
and
thank
you
for
taking
my
questions.
Everybody
Thank
You
councillor.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
Some
of
the
projects
and
the
the
North
End
included,
which
are
in
the
well
Eddie
and
I,
share
councillor
Flynn
and
I
share
the
North
End,
and
so
there's
certain
parts
that
I'm
very
happy
to
see
that
are
brought
up
today.
I
wanted
to
specifically
ask
or
note
that,
at
least
with
the
asagna
in
the
North
End
that
that
is
permanent,
permanently
affordable
housing,
as
that
is
run
from
the
be
a
chase.
That
might
is
that
correct.
It's.
D
Is
okay?
Sorry,
so
that
that
it's
I
assume
it's
affordability,
it
will
be
in
perpetuity
as
long
as
the
PHA
is
part
of
that
really.
But
my
biggest
concern
honestly
is
the
the
mercantile
building
specifically
and
I.
Have
a
KU
Mian
me
and
Representative
Michael
wits
have
been
texting
back
and
forth,
and
one
of
the
questions
that
he
and
I
both
have
is
concerning
the
deed
restrictions
on
the
mercantile
building
and
I.
Think
it's
I
have
the
page
marked
it's
page,
44
mm-hmm,.
K
D
This
is
with
the
priority
being
so
much
about
affordability
in
assuring
that
folks
can
stay
in
Boston
as
part
of
the
urban
renewal.
As
you
know,
there
was
a
I
believe,
a
40-year
deed
restriction
put
on
this
for
affordability.
That
has
come
up
so
now
this
year
and
for
the
next
2
for
3
years
in
total,
but
for
this
year
in
the
next
two,
the
rents
will
go
up
3%
each
year
and
that'll
become
fully
market
which
will
displace
a
lot
of
deeply
affordable
individuals
there.
So.
D
Because
this
is
there's
a
genuine
terror
there
for
individuals
who
even
a
3%
increase,
isn't
matching
what
they
have
on
Social
Security.
They
have
diseases
that
prevented
them
from
being
able
to
walk
around,
let
alone
work,
there's
a
genuine
fear
about
where
folks
are
going
to
go.
They
cannot
afford
to
stay
in
Boston
right
now,
with
the
way
the
runs
are.
D
This
is
not
a
matter
of
question,
so
this
is
so
I
wanted
to
ask
about
that
and
that
particular
building
and
how
urban
renewal
is
lost,
that
opportunity-
or
there
can
be
something
done
in
your
review-
to
help
protect
these
individuals.
And
then
you
can
also,
after
that
question
answer
what
we're
doing
in
general,
with
1380
buildings
that
are
in
urban
renewal
districts
and
how
you've
dealt
with
them
before
when
they're
coming
out
of
the
deed
restriction.
H
D
Them
are
part
of
the
part
of
the
agreement
that
they
had
is
after
it,
after
it
becomes
expired.
Yes,
there's
a
three
percent,
gradual
I
guess
on
all
of
them
that
three
percent
three
percent
three
percent
for
three
years,
and
then
it
goes
to
market.
So
that's
just
that's
just
not
specific
to
this
property
I
believe
it's
for
deed
restrictions
and
especially
13:8.
So
there's
a
policy
and
systemic
question
that
we
need
to
have
answered
with
urban
renewal
and
its
dedication.
D
If
you're
going
to
have
this
kind
of
stewardship
given
to
your
agency
to
deal
with
urban
renewal-
and
you
are
doing
your
your
accounting
and
your
auditing
and
whatnot,
there
needs
to
be
a
conversation
about
how
you're
going
to
compensate
for
that
and
I
wish
that
there
had
been
one
before
they
came
out
of
the
receivership
they're
they're
they're.
We
are
genuinely
concerned
about
how
to
do
this.
We
know
that
there's
some
buildings
happening
in
the
north
end
that
will
maybe
take
on
some
senior
housing.
D
H
H
H
D
Is
expiring,
uses
I
think
there
needs
to
be
a
question
of
what
you're
doing
with
urban
renewal
and
as
those
buildings
are
coming
out
as
more
will
and
some
are
in
your
districts
for
urban
renewal
and
some
aren't.
But
but
maybe
you
have
an
example
in
your
historic
documents
of
when
there
was
a
13-8
coming
out
and
how
you
dealt
with
it.
An
urban
renewal
before
or
didn't,
but
I
think
this
is
a
learning
opportunity
and
setting
a
system
getting
ahead
of
a
systemic
problem.
That's
going
to
only
increase.
I
So,
with
the
urban
dole,
it's
basically
a
time
period
that
we
gave
out
the
land
is
what
we
put
in
the
document.
So
every
time
you
look
at
one
of
these,
like
the
expiring
use,
were
the
times
we
didn't
put
as
much
in
and
they
thought
that
the
financing
would
restrict
the
affordability
and
we
did
you
have
to
every
time
we
have
to
go
back
to
the
document.
So
I
will
look
at
these
documents
more
closely
and
give
them
to
the
director.
But
I'm
saying
it's
not
like
one
answer.
D
A
I
I
A
A
H
So
the
unfortunate
reality
is
we.
This
is
a
frequent
topic
of
conversation
at
the
BPD,
a
the
only
rent
paid
by
the
lessor
I'm.
Sorry,
the
lessee
of
the
of
the
Quincy
marketplace
ashkenazi
holdings-
and
this
was
the
rent
settled
upon
in
1975
when
the
original
lease
was
was
agreed
to
the
rent
is
ten
dollars
a
year
and
the
rent
is
in
total
paid
to
the
Boston
playing
it's
ten
dollars
a
year.
It's
a
source
of
tremendous
frustration
is
humanity.
A
D
A
H
Understanding
is
the
number
three
rouse
company
was
the
original
developer
and
lease
holder
followed
by
GGP,
which
then
conveyed
the
remainder
of
the
lease
I.
Think
there's
50-plus
years
left
on
the
lease
to
ashkenazi
holdings
and
our
ashkenazi
acquisition,
member,
the
name,
let's
just
say
Ashkenazi,
so
Ashkenazi
is
the
owner
I.
Think
since
2011
ish
and
the
lease
the
rental
payment,
never
changes,
it
hasn't
changed
since
1975,
there's
not
an
escalator.
That
is
not
a
periodic
revision
of
the
lease
and
again
it
was.
H
It
was
agreed
to
you
know
not
to
second-guess
the
folks
who
originally
oversaw
the
redevelopment
and
in
the
business
deal
associated
with
the
redevelopment
and
leasing
of
Phanuel
Hall.
It
was
a
brave
new
world.
No
one
knew
if
it
would
work
so
to
incentivize
and
entice
a
developer
into
turning
this
into
a
so-called
festive
marketplace.
The
city
and
the
B
RA
at
the
time
decided
to
do
a
lease
for
almost
nothing
and
obviously
it
succeeded
beyond
probably
anyone's
wildest
imaginations.
H
It
was
a
dilapidated
series
of
structures
and
it
was
the
there
was
no
life,
it
was
not
a
thriving
place.
It
has
added
a
lot
to
the
life
of
the
City
of
Austin
and
I.
Think
if
people
knew
today
how
successful
it
was
going
to
be,
they
would
have
negotiated
a
different
rent
package
back
in
75,
certainly
one
that
may
have
taken
into
account
the
fact
that
it
could
be
wildly
successful.
And
if,
in
that
case
it
is
wildly
successful.
H
The
the
agency
and
the
city
make
more
money
than
the
ten
dollars,
but
that
wasn't
in
the
lease
it's
a
source
of
tremendous
frustration
to
us
to
this
day,
because
obviously,
it's
an
extremely
valuable
and
successful
property.
But
one
important
thing
as
far
as
the
city
of
Boston
proper
for
people
to
realize
is
there
is
a
pilot
payment
of
taxes
from
the
the
lease
holder
to
the
city
of
Boston,
and
that
is
actually
significant
money.
H
J
The
trees
were
in
front
of
Fanueil
Hall,
so
that
was
controlled
by
the
city,
but
in
terms
of
the
lease
for
the
back
part
that
the
director
was
speaking
of,
we
do
have
authority
over
that.
We
we
do
have
control,
but
the
developer
owners
I'm,
sorry
the
tenant.
They
are
trying
to
work
within
the
lease,
so
they
don't
have
to
come
for
any
changes
because
they
know
that
when
they
do
come
for
changes,
we
are
trying
to
reopen
that
negotiation.
J
H
A
H
H
I
So
Charleston
Charleston
was
originally
Charlestown,
not
all
of
Charlestown.
It
doesn't
go
all
the
way
up
to
Sullivan's
square,
that
parts
missing,
and
originally
it
was
without
the
Navy
Yard.
Okay,
these
were
the
parses
parcels
that
were
proposed.
Not
all
of
them
became
parses,
but
some
of
them
in
those
are
the
parses
that
were
proposed
in
the
original
area.
We
did
a
major
modification
in
1976
when
we
purchased
the
Navy
Yard
from
the
federal
government,
and
this
is
when
these
were
the
parcels,
the
way
they
did
the
Navy
Yard.
They
just
basically
have
four
parcels.
I
They
have
buildings
within
each,
but
it's
like
that
building
within
one
of
their
parcels.
The
Navy
Yard
pretty
extensively
the
next
one
here,
so
we
acquired
the
Navy
Yard
by
three
deeds:
there's
a
historic
monument
deed.
There
is
a
public
park,
deed
and
a
project
and
that's
the
project,
and
these
are
the
areas
the
yellow
is
the
historic
monument
area.
The
red
is
the
public
park
and
the
green
is
the
part
that
can
be
done
so
the
yellow
can
be
developed,
but
we
cannot
sell
it.
I
So
everything
in
the
yellow,
our
ground
leases
and
we
can
sell
the
land
in
the
green.
Ok.
Another
item
that
happened
in
when
we
acquired
the
Navy
Yard
was
that
Massport
was
claiming
rights
in
the
property
and
holding
up
our
redevelopment
of
the
Navy
Yard,
and
they
were
also
doing
a
similar
thing
with
the
MIP
with
edsc.
I
At
the
time
we
were
totally
two
separate
sitting
apart
agencies
and
there
was
like
a
three
party
agreement
between
masks
or
the
B
RA
and
Edic
have
the
major
signature
as
well,
where
the
b
ra
the
massport
would
release
all
its
interest
in
the
Navy
Yard.
It
would
release
its
interest
in
another
parcel,
which
is
shown
here
in
Charlestown,
the
PAA,
which
is
in
a
designated
port
area.
K
I
L
I
And
these
were
the
documents
there
were.
There
was
a
release
deed
on
P
8
a
there
was
a
deed
on
the
Navy
Yard
to
us,
and
then
we
did
at
least
that's
the
notice
of
lease
that
was
recorded,
so
that's
kind
of
connecting
it
all.
Okay.
So
now
in
the
Navy
Yard
in
the
Navy,
Yard
you'll
hear
a
lot
about
buildings,
building
33,
building
34.
Those
are
the
building
numbers
are
the
original
numbers
that
the
Navy
gave
them.
They
numbered
them
based
on
when
they
were
built,
so
they
jump
around.
I
Sometimes
you'll
see
a
parcel
like
parcel
39,
a
that's
a
number.
We
gave
it
and
they're
all
within
the
n,
y1
and
y2
and
y3,
and
in
my
four
okay.
So
let's
go
through
some
of
the
Navy
Yard
ropewalk
now
has
a
lease
on.
It
has
not
started
construction.
Yet
it's
in
ny1,
along
the
edge
of
the
Navy
Yard.
We
have
the
muster
house.
That's
that
little
round
building
the
commercial
building.
That's
an
n1!
I
These
are
remember
in
the
district
monument
area
that
we're
going
through
now,
they're
all
leases,
all
ground
leases,
building,
110
20,
another
commercial,
that's
brownies!
33
was
where
the
Bri
used
to
have
offices
in
the
80s
and
90s.
It
is
now
housing.
It's
been
converted
to
rental
housing
and
has
some
affordability.
I
34
is
the
building
in
front
of
it,
which
you
see
I
used
to
have
some
of
our
offices.
I,
don't
really
know.
What's
in
there
now.
38
is
next
to
the
33
building
and
39
is
in
front
of
it.
These
again
are
still
in
the
historic
monument
area,
building
150
new
building.
That's
the
why
the
building
that
was
next
to
3839
a
was
built
on
a
vacant
parcel
that
was
next
building
39
and
it
is
housing.
It
has
affordability
restricted
by
the
VRA
I'm,
now
we're
getting
into
some
of
those
little
buildings
in
the
back.
I
A
lot
of
these
are
Mass
General
partners,
they're
all
different
medical
entities,
and
these
are
some
of
the
other
ones
they're
again
still
in
the
historic
monument
area
and
our
underground
lease
chain.
Forge
building.
This
is
the
one.
It's
got
a
ground
lease
now
but
hasn't
been
started.
This
is
the
where
they
used
to
make
the
chains
the
Rope
walk.
Of
course,
they
used
to
make
the
rope,
and
this
is
supposed
to
be
a
hotel.
I
Basilica
Basilica
is
a
housing.
It
originally
started
as
a
rental
housing.
It
is
on
leased
land
because
it's
in
this
dark
monument-
and
it
was
like
the
first
condos
on
leased
land
in
this
date,
I
think
it's
my
wedding
here.
Building
36
is
still
in
the
historic
monument
here,
even
though
it's
jumped
across
First
Avenue
I
mean
this
actually
I
think
had
an
urban
development
action
grant
from
hood
back
in
the
eighties
and
I
think
that's
MGH.
Now
this
is
the
public
park.
I
Now
we're
getting
to
end
my
for
the
development
parcels.
This
is
flagship
wharf
at
the
end
of
the
park
area.
We
have
Paris
landing,
which
is
next
to
that,
and
these
are
all
been
sold.
Anchorage
apartments.
Building
103
has
affordability
in
it.
It's
rental
apartments
104
was
developed
by
the
bricklayers.
Also,
it's
got
affordability
in
it.
The
Navy,
our
Road
house,
is
100%,
affordable,
50
units
for
sale.
I
I
I
290,
thank
you.
Thanks
to
90
ml
da
in
deeds,
37
deeds
only
these
are
mainly
like
transfers
to
the
public,
or
there
were
a
lot
of
transfers
of
little
slivers
in
the
back
of
people's
houses
for
backyards
side
yards
that
sort
of
thing.
When
you
see
the
plan
with
it
all
blue,
you
have
to
remember
a
lot
of
people
took
those
like
200
square
feet
and
they
consolidate
it.
I
It
consolidated
with
their
housing
site,
so
it
looks
bigger
than
it
is
because
when
you
hit
the
assessor,
it
all
comes
up
as
blue,
but
really
our
restriction
is
only
like
on
their
backyard
or
their
side
yard.
So
you
have
to
watch
the
plan
and
that's
why
it's
really
critical.
When
we
give
information
people,
people
know
that,
oh
it's
only
their
backyard,
it's
not
their
house
regulatory
agreement.
I
We
have
one
is
North,
Point
and
you'll
see
that
in
just
a
minute-
and
these
don't
add
up
to
the
total
number
of
urban
renewal
parcels
because
there
could
be
several
parcels
under
you
know
one
document,
okay,
so
these
are
the
leases
you
can
see
it's
all
in
the
historic
monument
area
and
that
da
a
which
is
the
mass
port.
This
is
the
historic
monument
area
outlines
you
can
see.
I
El
dia
is
there
all
over
the
place
and
you
can
see
in
the
navy
yard
they're
all
in
the
area
where
we're
allowed
to
convey
the
big
purple.
One
on
this
side
is
the
community
college
that
was
an
urban
renewal
parcel
and
at
the
and
of
the
community
college
there
were
some
industrial
on
that's
called
Street
a
there's
industrial
there's
Bridgeview,
there's
a
few
parcels
along
there
and
then,
of
course,
across
the
street
there
was
the
shopping
mall.
You
can
see
a
picture
of
that
in
a
minute.
Misha
want
a
lot
of
housing
projects
there.
I
L
I
Okay,
these
were
the
ones
with
deeds
only
and
what
you'll
see
is
you'll
see
a
few
little
backyards
and
then
a
lot
of
these
are
public
parcels
and
we're
gonna
go
through
some
of
the
public
parcels.
So
you
see
what
was
created
the
regulatory
agreement,
the
only
one
it's
for
North
Point,
now
North
Point
was
never
an
urban
old
parcel
until
about
10-15
years
ago
we
never
owned
it.
I
I
These
are
all
the
public
is
that
this
bus
is
public
thing,
okay
and
then
we
circled
all
of
them
that
are
parks
and
gardens
and
I'm
going
to
show
you
a
few
in
a
minute.
So
you
can
see
they're
shipyard,
Park,
Menino,
Park,
there's
the
park
across
from
the
high
school,
which
is
also
the
high
school
fields,
there's
a
garden
I
think
at
the
top
and
I
think
there's
Peter
in
the
mini
park,
the
Charleston.
This
is
up
north
towards
Sullivan
Charlestown,
community
gardens.
I
This
one
is
still
owned
by
the
VRA.
This,
the
one
that's
on
the
edge
of
the
Bunker
Hill
Mall.
We
still
on
that
goodbye.
You
can
see
it's
a
park,
a
little
park.
Man,
okay,
now
same
slide
with
the
public.
The
circled
ones
are
schools,
so
we
have
the
Community
College.
We
have
a
parking
lot
for
the
Edward's
school
I'll
show
you
slide
in
a
minute.
You
have
big
tent
Harvard
and
the
high
school
the
high
school.
We
only
gave
a
portion
of
the
land,
so
there's
the
lie.
I
Oh
in
the
library
there's,
the
library
was
on
earth
monaural,
the
Harvard
Cannock
school.
That
site
was
consolidated,
Charleston
High
School,
like
I,
said
it
was
a
piece
of
that
and
then
we
gave
the
parking
lot
out
in
front
of
this
Clarence
Edward
school
and,
of
course,
Community
College
housing.
These
are
all
the
housing
sites.
I
The
bigger
the
darker
ones
on
the
left-hand
side
would
be
Misha,
WOM,
I,
think
there's
no
new
town
is
the
other
side,
yeah
he's
on
and
then
there's
Main
Street,
townhouses,
Charles,
Street
Gardens
run
or
renewal.
The
frothingham
one
was
unearthing
all
the
affordable
housing.
These
are
the
places
with
affordable
housing.
These
are
not
all
the
ones
that
the
VRA
restricts.
Some
of
these
are
the
new
town
and
the
Misha
wom
are
restricted
by
their
financing.
In
a
minute
you
can
see.
These
are
are
well
wait.
I
I
Okay,
these
are
the
ones
that
are
deed,
restricted
by
the
VRA,
so
you'll
see
all
the
ones
in
the
Navy
are
that
I
was
pointing
out
33
building
39
Basilica
103
104,
the
row
houses,
those
are
all
dangerous,
turgid.
They
were
more
recent
transfers.
Since
the
80s,
we
started
doing
our
restrictions
that
you
see
more
commonly
in
about
87.
I
On
the
other
side,
you
have
Charles
Street
Gardens,
you
have
Main
Street
townhouses
frothingham,
oh
the
gatehouse,
75
West,
School
Street,
which
we'll
see
in
a
minute
is
interesting
because
it
used
to
be
then
it
was
given
out
as
the
Knights
of
Columbus,
the
Knights
of
Columbus
in
the
past
five
to
ten
years
sold
it.
It
was
redeveloped
with
affordable
housing
and
the
Knights
of
Columbus
picked
another
site
on
the
other
side
of
Charleston
down
in
the
low
and
behold
it
was
a
terminal
site,
so
they
moved
from
when
everyone
else
liked
to
another.
I
I
This
is
that
75
West
School
Street,
that's
over
by
the
Bunker
Hill
Mall
and
the
other
side
from
Community
College,
Anchorage
apartments
and
Navy
Yard
is
affordable,
housing.
The
row
houses
are
a
hundred
percent
affordable
building.
33
has
affordability
in
that
Basilica
is
the
ones
that
are
the
condos
on
leased
land
when
a
four
is
another
for
Claire's,
with
a
lot
of
weight
like
46
units
of
affordability.
So,
what's
left
to
do
as
far
as
these
parcels
certificate
to
completion,
a
number
house
are
either
to
be
constructed
or
our
under
construction.
I
We
will
have
to
do
notices
of
extensions
of
restrictions,
those
that
we
did
deed,
restrict.
We
did
the
30
plus
20
when
that
30
years
comes
up.
We
are
now
as
of
a
year
and
a
half
ago
filing
notices
of
extensions
of
restrictions.
We
are
making
sure
that
they
get
and
it
for
another
20
years
and
I
think
that's
the
end.
Thank
You
Janet.
D
D
D
I
D
Right
so
in
that,
as
I
understand
now,
fully
and
I
appreciate
that
background
that
it
was
a
swap
for
the
Navy
Yard
that
resulted
in
a
long
term
lease
for
Massport
on
BPD,
a
land
for
a
dollar
and
with
with
the
BPD
a
then
getting
the
name,
Navy
Yard
and
then
having
long
term
leases
there.
That
result-
and
you
know,
income
from
that
to
to
the
BPD
a
so
as
this
lease
is
coming
up
and
we're
talking
about
urban
renewal
again
I
think
I've
asked
this
question
before
I'll.
D
Just
ask
it
again:
how
do
we
make
sure
that
you
know
you
had
started
off
the
presentation
with
about
Community
Impact,
a
community
input
community
having
a
voice?
So
here
comes
this
lease
publicly
coming
up.
Community
certainly
wants
a
voice
certainly
wants
to
make
sure
it
Charlestown
gets
more,
maybe
in
this
deal.
So
how
do
we
do
that
sure.
D
H
In
the
middle
of
next
year,
so
there'll
be
a
community
conversation,
so
part
of
it
will
be
hey
look.
This
is
this
is
how
we
came
to
do
this
deal.
That's
my
house
poor
little
complicated,
involving
swaps
and
in
different
agencies
getting
different
parcels
for
their
own.
You
know
to
attempt
to
achieve
their
own
goals
and
objectives,
so
it'll,
be
a
bit
of
history.
It'll
be
a
bit
of
explanation
about
what
exactly
the
regulatory
overlay
is
in
that
part
of
the
world
and.
K
H
It's
actually
being
used
for
a
purpose
that
was
envisioned
and
actually
required
by
state
law,
so
understanding
that
is
the
regulatory
framework
for
for
the
parcel.
What
what
are
our
options
and
and
what
does
the
community
think
about
these
options?
And
we've
talked
in
the
past
about
mass
ports
I,
we
haven't
had
significant
conversation
with
mass
port
about
this
other
than
mass
parts,
insistence
that
it
plays
a
key
role
in
the
operation
of
that
auto
port.
H
So
we'll
we'll
delve
more
into
that
into
that
as
time
time
goes
by,
but
that
whole
that
facility
writ
large
employs
a
lot
of
people
in
any
use
that
is
authorized
in
was
some
of
the
only
permissible
uses
under
existing
law.
So
we're
we're
dealing
with
that
reality.
We'll
have
the
conversation
with
the
neighborhood
we'll
have.
H
The
conversation
with
mass
part
will
obviously
bring
our
own
opinions
to
the
community
with
regard
to
whether
or
not
it
makes
sense
to
continue
that
used
to
adjust
the
use
to
do
something
radically
different
understanding
that
if
there
is
a
cement
sentiment
to
do
something
radically
different,
it
probably
requires
state
legislative
relief.
My.
D
Understanding
is
that
it
requires
about
ten
signatures
and
a
petition
that
can
be
put
out,
and
then
you
submit
to
the
state
agency
for
that
relief,
which
point
that
the
agency
would
look
to
Massport
would
look
to
you
and
then
we'd.
You
know
you
make
your
argument,
so
the
DPA
designation
can
be
removed.
It's
a
long,
tedious
process,
yeah.
H
D
H
D
D
Is
that
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
enter
into
another
forty
year
lease
you
can
do
a
one-year
lease
right
that
allows
for
the
conversation
to
continue
so
that
when
we
enter
in
a
long
term,
lease
community
has
is
accepting
and
and
benefiting
in
a
way
that
makes
sense
so
that
that
I
hope
is
also
considered
in
the
toolkit
to
allow
for
real
conversation
and
consideration
of
what
to
happen.
There
sure.
H
M
L
H
D
H
D
It's
an
auto
part
company
I
did
meet
with
the
owner
of
that
and
he
talked
about
his
own
contracts
and
his
20-year
relationship
in
charlestown
and
the
work
and
the
jobs
he's
provided
so
I
believe.
We've
we've
had
many
conversations,
we've
spoken
with
Massport
with
the
BP
da
and
also
the
the
chief
I
guess
operator
in
that
area.
So
there
are
many
interests
involved
in
this.
Just
want
to
make
sure
that
folks,
who
in
charlestown
also
their
interests,
are
also
actually.
H
D
So
you
had
mentioned
also
in
this,
you
highlighted
the
Harvard
Kent
the
high
school
and
also
was
it
edwards
middle
school
or
is
just
it
was
just
the
parking
lot,
the
parking
lot
and
so
I'm
curious
about
your
relationship
and
conversations
with
build
bps
because
of
the
fact
that
these
are
in
the
urban
renewal
area,
they're
about
to
launch
what
they're
gonna
do
and
a
long
20
year
plan
for
for
these
buildings
for
schools,
some
consolidations,
some
use
some
for
the
school
use.
How
are
you
guys
talking
to
each
other
sure.
H
D
H
Of
that
job
three
weeks
ago,
maybe
four
weeks
ago
and
Devyn
isn't
here
today,
so
I
apologize
for
that.
But
I
would
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
with
you
on
that
that
specific
issue
about
how
our
decisions
related
to
our
property,
that
is
either
near
or
approximate
to
BPS
property,
is
how
that
conversation.
So.
I
D
D
And
I
only
bring
this
up
because
in
talking
with
Bill
bps,
they
have
they've
kind
of
put
a
moratorium
on
kind
of
moving
a
lot
of
their
properties
until
they
have
rolled
out
their
plan
and
also
are
able
to
take
a
full
assessment
and
accounting
of
what
they
have.
So
just
would
love
to
hear
about
how
those
conversations
are
in
in
line
with
each
other.
I
actually
got
a
question
from
representative
Dan
Ryan
about
the
master
planning
around
the
parcels
adjacent
to
the
Bunker
Hill
Community
College.
Are
you
guys
involved
in
that
or
ask?
H
H
There
are
over
seven
acres,
and
so
it's
a
significant
vast,
open
space
that
has
been
traditionally
used
for
years
as
a
parking
lot
for
Bunker,
Hill,
Community,
College
and
still
is
so
as
we
there
will
be
a
planning
effort,
that's
not
the
highest
and
best
use
of
the
pretty
parking
and
in
given
the
desirability
of
that
part
of
the
world
for
development
thing
to
be
a
lot
of
interest.
There
will
be
a
planning
study,
getting
the
right,
necks.
H
Site
and
the
mayor
has
often
spoken
of
his
desire
to
see
significant
affordability
as
part
of
the
the
housing
that
is
contemplated
for
there,
but
there
has
not
been
a
planning
study
initiated
there
and
for
kind
of
a
base
on
those
parcels
for
a
basic
reason.
We've
got
I
think
about
six
different
neighborhood
planning
initiative,
strategic
planning
areas.
We
tend
to
refer
to
them
as
underway,
including
this
downtown
planning
study
and
in
it's
a
question
of
resources
and
so
we'll
get
to
that.
But
we
just
do
not
have
the
resources
to
do
all
that.
D
Certainly
and
I
there's
been
a
great
deal
of
real
pushing
in
charlestown.
You
know
for
a
plan
for
the
for
the
entire
square
mile
one
square
mile
that
it
is
because
there's
a
real
question:
it's
no
longer
really
a
blighted
area
that
as
a
whole,
there
are
certain
sections,
I'm
sure,
looking
at
parking,
lots
are
under
the
bridges
that
you
might
say
highest
and
best
use
and
whatnot,
but
there
really
is
a
push
now
to
have
a
plan
because
there's
a
genuine
concern
about
how
how
much
is
happening
without
a
collective
vision.
D
D
D
Tell
me
how
I
understand
its
BHA,
but
it's
also
about
to
be
BHA
and
a
2/3
of
those
units
or
majority
will
be
market-based
right.
Ultimately.
So
when
that
happens,
there's
a
mix
now,
where
there,
the
total
ownership
or
stewardship,
is
a
little
hybrid
you're,
the
planners.
How
is
this?
What's
your
role
gonna
be
in
this
and
because
it's
Urban
Renewal
help
help
me
understand.
Let's.
D
D
H
D
H
Your
took
me
about
five
years
to
figure
this
out
there.
There
is
an
the
the
urban
renewal
area.
Has
urban
renewal
parcels
within
it
which
have
been
identified
at
different
development
goals
back
in
the
day
when
we
first
picked
out
the
urban
renewal
area,
but
not
every
parcel
within
an
urban
renewal
area
is
in
fact
an
urban
renewal
parcel.
D
So
your
role
in
this
particular
development
is
just
your
normal
role
of
be
PDA
and
planning,
with
the
article
80
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
You
are
not
looking
at
it
or
assessing
it
under
your
urban
renewal
lens
and
perspective
unless
they
choose
to
come
unless
they
choose
to
come
under
urban
renewal.
Why
would
just
tell
me
generally,
what
were
the
reasons
for
people
to
choose
to
come
under
urban
renewal.
I
D
I
Might
or
might
not
that
mean
they'd
have
to
determine
it
themselves,
but
that's
the
right
now.
So
the
the
parcels
he's
talking
about
are
the
ones
we
acquired.
So
when
we
acquire
and
dispose
of
them
we
control
them
as
they
go
out,
but
the
parcels
that
the
president
BHA
project
are
on,
you
saw
they
weren't
highlighted
they
were
never
over.
In
order
to
begin
with,
there
are
some
areas
that
we
did
acquire
parcels.
We
gave
them
to
be
AJ
and
they
do
the
projects
on
them,
but
this
was
not.
One
of
them
would.
D
It
make
it
faster,
so
one
of
the
concerns
is
the
permanent,
the
variances.
All
those
required
to
get
this
done
might
prevent
the
shovels
in
the
ground
for
almost
two
years,
and
these
these
developments
need
to
be
to
read
on
the
mold,
the
asthma
cases
what
people
are
living
in,
and
so,
if
they
were
to
walk
me
through
this,
if
they
were
to
opt
into
urban
renewal,
would
that
make
the
permitting
faster.
I
So
we
know
overlay
what
that
means
is
that
our
mental
overlays
are
in
our
zoning.
You
have
to
be
in
a
rural
area
and
you
have
to
be
an
urban
doe
parcel
and
if
you
look
at
the
language
in
article
three,
what
it
says
is
your
project
has
to
be
a
hundred
percent
affordable,
a
hundred
percent
for
the
elderly.
None
of
these
are
what
we
do
anymore,
but
there's
a
last
one
that
says:
if
you
have
an
agreement
with
the
Boston
Redevelopment
Authority,
that
controls
the
parcel,
you
can
be
a
terminal
overlay.
I
So,
for
instance,
we
saw
a
North
Point.
They
opted
to
become
an
urban
renewal
parcel.
We
gave
them
a
parcel
number
made
them
a
parcel
and
they
got
their
zoning
relief
through
the
urban
renewal.
So
what
happens?
Is
they
enter
into
an
agreement
with
the
B
array
that
basically
controls
it
that
in
our
design
review?
So
it's
control?
These
people
could
dummy
BHA,
which
ever
groups
developing
could
opt
into
that.
Well,.
I
H
I
So
what
happens
is
when
you're
creating
it?
You
come
through
the
VRA.
We
create
a
parcel.
We
you,
we
recommend
to
the
Zoning
Commission,
to
make
it
an
urban
or
overlay.
The
Zoning
Commission
has
to
vote
that
once
they
vote
it
in
our
agreements
on
that's
when
it's
easier
to
amend.
If
something
needs
amending
quickly.
I
D
H
D
To
it,
I
just
want
to
know
how
it
works.
Yes,
because
I
know
are
concerned
about
delay
in
this
project,
which
I
would
I
can
say
confidently.
The
vast
majority
of
folks
in
Charleston
wants
want
to
see
redeveloped.
They
want
dignified
housing
for
their
own
for
Charleston
residents
that
this
is
not
a
controversial
project,
but
I
just
wanted
to
know
about
how
this
Tool
Works.
If
was
something
that
they
opted
into.
If.
I
H
A
So
I
just
wanted
to
return
to
what
director
golden
had
been
talking
about
a
little
bit
at
the
beginning
and
actually
what
Ford
had
had
spoken
about
even
prior
to
that
about
the
DHCD
letter
and
I.
Don't
know
if
this
is
an
opportunity
to
bring
Chris
into
the
conversation
or
as
backup
but
I'm
I
want
to
because
we'd
reached
out
and
we
couldn't
quite
get
in
touch
with
anyone.
So
on
the
three-year
marker,
where
they're
supposed
to
be
Ford,
read
the
language
earlier
I
have
it
I'll
have
to
open.
H
A
Submit
to
the
HCD
a
proposal
for
what
the
bre
intends
to
do
with
the
plans
over
the
remaining
extension
timetable
for
sunsetting
analysis
framework
and
timetable.
So
last
time
last
check
and
we
had
had
a
discussion
about
how
much
community
input
needed
to
the
to
go
into
prior
to
the
the
August
114
date.
Any
further
thinking
or
yes,.
H
So
in
in
in
and
I
appreciate
the
question
madam
chair
and,
and
hopefully
it
addresses
some
of
the
concerns
raised
by
mr.
Cavallari
and
and
and
mr.
laugher
as
well
did
yeah
I.
Think
when
we
had
our
conversation
about
this
at
our
last
six-month
update,
the
the
concern
we
had
was
should
we,
before
we
have
recommendations
really
vetted
within
the
community,
should
we
be
going
up
to
DHCD
first
to
see
if
DHCD
was
okay
with
where
we
were
going,
because
otherwise
we
get
into
this
potential
for
a
frustrating
conversation
in
which
we
engage
the
neighborhood.
H
We
come
up
collectively
with
with
aspirations
and
recommendations
for
the
way
forward,
on
the
urban
renewal
areas
and
and
and
then
we
go
to
DHCD
and
DHCD
indicates
to
us
that
no,
we,
we
are
not
supportive
of
this,
in
which
case
we
may
presumably
have
to
go
back
to
the
neighborhood
for
additional
conversation
or
doesn't
it
make
sense
to
go
to
DHCD
first,
get
sort
of
some
parameters
from
them
and
then
go
explain
to
the
neighborhood.
What
the
DHC
parameters
are,
what
our
goals
are
and
then
solicit
support
our
recommendations
from
the
neighborhood.
H
So
we've
been
going
back
and
forth
on
that,
but
I
think
we
are
comfortable
with
the
notion
that
that
we
get
we.
Maybe
we
take
some
some
soundings
from
DHCD
about
what
they
can
and
can't
live
with,
but
but
fundamentally
I
think
we're
we're
we're
comfortable
with
the
notion
we
go
to
the
neighborhood,
then
an
up
to
DHCD,
but
with
the
understanding
we
don't
know
what
to
eat.
Cds
gonna
do
with
any
of
that,
whether
they
agree
with
us
whether
they
agree
with
the
neighborhood,
where
they
agree
with
our
collective
assessment
of
a
way
forward.
H
So
there
is
that
sort
of
question
mark
hanging
over
the
process,
but
I
don't
see
a
downside
to
coming
to
the
neighborhood
saying:
we've
just
spent
a
couple
years
researching
parcel
by
parcel
what's
going
on
in
the
urban
renewal
areas,
here's
what
we
think
is
a
healthy
way
forward
with
regard
to
perpetuation,
a
modification
or
sunsetting
of
these
tools
and
these
areas
and
then
have
the
conversation
with
the
community
go
up
to
DHCD.
Hopefully,
DHCD
is
good
with
everything
that
we
have
collectively
arrived
at
as.
H
One
thing
I'd
like
to
point
out
on
this
gets
I
think
to
mr.
Lara
is
concerned
about
timing.
If,
if
we
have
the
community
process
we're
still
in
fact-finding
mode,
as
we
pointed
out
where
we
still
get
some
work
to
do,
then
we
get
our
fact-finding
mode
completed
where
we
we
formulate
recommendations
internally,
our
own
thoughts
about
what
should
happen
then
go
to
the
neighborhood.
We
probably
will
be
bumping
up
against
one
of
the
the
benchmarks
for
time
and
we
may
not
hit
that.
That's
just
matter
of
fact.
H
So
do
we
want
to
Russia,
or
do
we
want
to
get
it
right?
We
may
be
back
to
you
asking
for
an
adjustment
to
the
time
frame
to
permit
a
more
thorough
conversation,
but
you
know
the
reality
is.
This
is
extraordinarily
complicated
stuff,
as
you've
now
lived
with
us
on
this
subject
for
a
few
years
parcel
by
parcel
and
Misaki
has
gone
on
for
62
years.
We
are
processing
it
we're
analyzing,
it
was
synthesizing
it
now
we
have
to
try
and
figure
out.
What
do
you
think
is
the
way
forward.
H
J
No
other
than
I
could
just
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
our
conversations
over
the
last
few
times
with
DHCD.
We've
been
also
working
on
a
process,
beep
EDA
of
making
sure
that,
when
we
dispose
of
urban
renewal
parcels
that
we
are
also
fulfilling
a
commitment
that
we
made
to
DHCD
about
a
process
that
we
were
going
to
follow,
making
sure
that
we
have
a
proper
RFP
appraisals,
community
input.
J
And
so
we
are
just
coming
across
the
urban
renewal
parcels
and
disposition
of
those
that
are
coming
under
this
new
process
and
that's
what
we've
just
begun
with
DHCD.
What
we
do
know
is
that
whatever
we
do,
they
are
requiring
of
us
and
we
are
requiring
from
ourselves
a
community
process
on
the
proposals
that
we're
gonna
make
that
have
anything
to
do
with
the
urban
renewal
plans
on
any
RFP
disposition
of
property.
J
A
N
N
K
A
So
we're
either
of
you
involved
in
the
last
determination
letter
or
approval
letter.
Yes,
okay,
could
you
help
clarify
something?
That's
been
very
I've,
been
very
curious
about
for
years
now
about
what
mere
temporal
extension
means
so
there's
a
line
in
the
letter
that
said
a
mirrored
temporal
extension
would
not
be
a
major
modification
right.
A
N
A
A
I
L
I
think
for
right
now,
I
want
to
speak
for
the
rest
agency,
but
you
know
be
you
can
go
on
the
zoning
view.
You
can
click
and
there'll
be
an
option
that
says
it
falls
under
renewal
and
then
you
will
be
able
to
call
me
and
I'll
be
able
to
provide
you
those
documents
and
a
little
bit
more
information
and
background
towards
them.
Okay,.
A
H
Again,
you
know
we
had
this
conversation
on
a
prior
occasion.
We
would
love
to
from
a
technical
standpoint
to
deliver
all
this
information
just
by
clicking
around
it.
You
know
you,
you
identify
the
site,
you're
interested
you
get
the
the
relevant
documents
superficially
sounds
easy.
I'm
assured
repeatedly
it's
extremely
complex
and
and
will
inevitably
lead
to
probably
tremendous
frustration,
understanding.
H
What
exactly
is
going
on
because
of
the
multiple
documents
that
govern
a
particular
parcel,
and
so
we've
come
this
conclusion
that
that,
rather
than
then
require
the
interested
party
to
sift
through
a
pile
of
digital
autumn
leaves
trying
to
make
sense
of
it.
All
that
you,
you
immediately
link
to
a
professional
at
the
agency
who
can
provide
you
with
the
documents
and
walk
you
through
them.
That,
ultimately,
is
a
less
frustrating
reality,
then
than
if
you
were
trying
to
make
sense.
I
guess.
A
I
would
just
I
would
just
I
know
we're
checking
in
regularly
and
haven't.
You
know,
moving
a
little
bit
for
tea
time
with
iterations
on
conversations,
but
I'm
still
going
to
push
back
and
say,
I
think
it
should
be
up
to
the
resident
to
be
able
to
access
whatever
leaves
they
want
to
access
and
then
choose
to
ask
questions
if
it's
difficult
for
them.
It's
not
I
mean
our
job
as
a
city
and
as
public
institutions
is
to.
A
If
someone
doesn't
feel
comfortable
reaching
out
to
city
government,
the
VRA
crit
is
they
shouldn't
feel
like
they
need
to
set
up
an
appointment
or
you
know
who
knows,
but
there
might
be
some
point
in
the
future
where
all
of
a
sudden
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
a
certain
parcel
and
then
you're
flooded
with
people
wanting
to
reach
out.
And
then
your
time
is,
it's
spread
thinly
and
you
know
so
far.
There
hasn't
seemed
to
be,
has
been
that
much
interest
in
it.
A
H
But
here's
a
concern,
though
the
average
person
who's
looking
and
said
we
give
them.
The
LDA
have
no
idea
as
a
general
rule,
maybe
how
that
Lda
relates
to
other
regulatory
requirements
and
then
the
question
might
people?
Why?
Don't
you
just
put
all
the
regulatory
requirements
in
one
place?
This
becomes
a
really
expansive
mission
creep,
and
so
we
have
to
curate
a
site.
Now
that
has
multiple
different
documents
associated
with
a
given
parcel
that
far
transcend
the
LDA.
So
the
person
looking
at
the
LDA
says
no
get.
A
A
A
So
if
Chris
is
the
new
face
of
this
I
will
direct
my
outside
efforts
to
sitting
down
with
Chris
I
just
recently,
for
example,
ran
into
someone
from
Code
for
America,
and
they
said
they'd
love
to
you
know,
talk
about
what
projects
we
have
or
have
interested
in
Boston.
So
this
could
be.
You
know,
at
least
from
a
technological
side
to
say.
Can
we
remove
the
questions
about
the
feasibility
of
that
linking
the
documents
and
how
that
would
all
happen?
J
A
Do
that
so
loop
in
some
folks
to
think
about
that
and
talk
about
that?
Okay
and
then
just
my
last
batch
of
questions
on
then
the
timeline
dr.
golden.
You
had
said
that
there
might
be
some
question
about
the
three-year
mark
if
we're,
depending
on
how
much
community
process
were
building
in.
So
at
what
point?
Do
you
project
that
you
all
will
be
comfortable
enough
analyzing?
What's
now
done
with
the
LDA
to
be
able
to
come
to
your
own
internal
proposals,
which
you
would
then
shop
out
to
community.
H
A
H
A
H
So
we're
thinking
you
know,
do
we
run
another
conversation
or
another
process
similar
to
the
one
we
did
two
years
ago,
which,
which
was
quite
lengthy,
is
I.
Don't
think
we
do
that,
not
because
we
don't
want
the
input.
It's
just
we're
gonna
be
way
behind
yeah
in
in
in
in
in
meeting
the
schedule
that
that
we
originally
expect
out
with
regard
to
our
six
year
extension.
What
are
the
things
we
will
do?
H
What
are
the
benchmarks
within
those
six
years,
but
I
think
we're
looking
at
months
more
of
process
internally,
followed
by
community
process
and
I
mean
really
the
process
internally
is,
is
continuing
to
settle
up
on
what
it
is.
We
have
the
facts.
Well,
what
are
the
documents
tell
us,
but
also
now
that
we
know
synthesizing
them
analyzing
them?
What
are
our
internal?
H
You
know
aspirations
going
forward
and
then
we
go
out
to
the
neighborhood
and
share
those
and
see
if
they
resonate,
if
there's
pushback
great,
but
we've
got
to
do
that
internal
soul-searching
and
then
engage
the
neighborhoods,
so
I
think
you're
you're
talking.
You
know
several
months
more
for
all
of
that.
So.
H
Yeah,
we're
really
weird
weird
a
good
point
today
because
again
we're
about
to
start
the
analysis,
and
that
will
tell
us
things.
We
don't
know
today
it's
hard
to
see
where
that's
going
to
take
us,
but
where
we're
engaging
that
process
right
now,
there
are
still
some
housekeeping
matters
that
are
going
to
occur,
but
we
know
enough
to
begin
to
think.
H
We've
had
some
conversations
internally
about
where
the
Sun
setting
probably
should
occur,
probably
not
quite
ripe
enough
to
have
the
conversation
now,
but
that
we're
actively
looking
at
multiple
locations
where
Sun
setting
probably
occurred
should
occur
with
regard
to
urban
renewal
areas,
then
we'll
probably
look
at
somewhere.
We
don't
think
the
whole
urban
renewal
area
should
sunset
but
maybe
pieces
of
it
that
whole.
H
I
H
As
you
may
know,
councillor
some
of
the
some
of
those
parcels
have
been
identified
to
the
plan
Dudley
process,
in
particular
as
disposition
parcels,
so
plenty
community
process
associated
with
the
plan.
Dudley
examined
both
some
BPD,
a
developable
parcels
as
well
as
city
of
Boston,
DND,
parcels
and
and
those
are
being
RFP
right
now
so
we'll
bill
we'll
continue
to
see
that
activity
because,
as
Jenna
pointed
there
are,
there
are
quite
a
few
of
them
and
in
Roxbury
principally
they're
there.
They
are
peppered
throughout
the
urban
renewals,
but
disproportionately
in
Roxbury.
Okay,.
A
Great
well
I
see
no
other
questions
from
my
colleagues
at
this
point.
So
I
want
to
thank
mr.
Clavin,
miss
fells
Adi
for
joining
us
and
for
all
our
counterparts
at
the
BPD,
especially
Janet
who
I
know
we
are
gonna,
miss
you
before
the
next.
You
check-in
you're,
you're,
sort
of
retiring
right
here
you
will
be
kept
on
in
some
capacity,
but
thank
you
for
all
you've
done
for
the
city
for
almost
40
years,
I
hear
30
well.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.

Another
further
reason
to
sunset
is
there's
a
project
at
the
garage.
Now
that
does
not
meet
the
plan
and
the
reason
we
had
a
plan
is
to
to
prevent
haphazard
development.
So
now
there
is
a
plan
that,
in
their
article,
80
submission
didn't
even
mention
that
they're
in
the
urban
renewal
area
and
when
I
raised
this
at
the
Pullman
meeting,
they
said
oh
well,
we
don't
have
to
do
anything
with
that.
So
anyway,
I'm
very
concerned
with
the
way
this
particular
plan.
O
M
Thank
You
counselor
I'll
try
to
be
very
quick.
My
name
is
Victor
branya
I
live
at
111
Atlantic
Avenue,
which
is
the
mercantile
building
which
councillor
Edwards
brought
into
the
conversation
about
the
expiration
of
affordability,
restrictions
and
I.
First
profoundly
thank
councillor
Edwards
for
doing
that
to
bring
it
into
the
public
conversation.
M
There
are
85,
affordable
apartments
in
the
building.
I,
don't
know
how
many
residents
in
each
apartment,
but
at
least
85
will
be
out
on
the
street
unless
something
is
done
with
the
realization
of
of
the
restrictions
which
brings
me
to
a
question.
If
I
understood
correctly
the
prior
conversation,
it
was
that
there
might
be
the
possibility
of
Zoning
to
reimpose
the
restrictions.
I
wonder
whether
there
might
not
be
a
legal
problem.
The
person
who
purchases
a
building
with
the
restriction
expiring,
then,
is
told
that
you
have
been
rezone
and
you
cannot
elevate
to
market
rates.
M
M
Would
hope
that
that
my
concern
is
it's
not
well
placed
and
that
there
is
no
problem
in
which
case
I
would
ask
the
PDA
to
start
its
Zoning
Department,
redraft
or
drafting
appropriate
restrictions
that
can
then
be
opposed.
I,
don't
know
whether
it's
the
PR
a
zoning
department
or
the
the
City
Council's
legal
department,
but
it
needs
to
be
done
in
a
hurry,
because
the
the
issue
will
will
come
directly
in
our
face
in
three
years.
The
next
question
I
have
is
a
simple
one.
What
is
Chris
Breen's
contact
information?

Hello:
okay,
great
I,
just
I,
first
of
all,
I
think
the
BPD
a
does
great
work
and
and
all
the
LDA
collection
I
know
it's
hard
work
and
I
want
to
give
them
credit,
and
everyone
in
this
room
knows
I'm
a
big
fan
of
Brian
golden,
but
I
do
want
to
just
keep
us
remembering
that
in
the
last
discussion
about
the
urban
renewal
zone
extension,
the
big
elephant
of
the
room
question
is:
do
we
need
this?
When
development
appears
to
be
going
on
mostly
in
places
that
are
not
urban
renewal
zones?
