A
4-6-2
regarding
surplus
of
city-owned,
formerly
Boston,
Redevelopment
Authority
owned
parcels
of
vacant
land
and
to
transfer
the
care
custody
management
in
control
of
said
property
to
the
public
facilities.
Commission.
This
matter
was
sponsored
by
Mayor
Martin
Walsh
referred
to
the
Committee
on
planning
and
amendment
back
on
November.
The
29th.
This
matter
is
proposed
as
a
result
of
the
Boston
real
Authority,
conveying
certain
passes
only
into
the
public
facilities
Commission,
who,
acting
by
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development,
determined
that
these
properties
are
not
needed
by
the
department.
As
originally
stated
in
the
order.
A
We
have
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
typos
that
was
from
the
original
filing
30
Mildred
Street
in
Mattapan
district
should
read:
30
Mildred
Ave
in
the
Mattapan
District
Street
and
zero
Tucker
Street
in
Dorchester
should
read
zero
Tucker
Street
in
Mattapan
and
436
Warren
Street
in
Dorchester
should
read
436
Warren
Street
in
Roxbury
district,
so
just
want
to
make
sure
that
those
type
of
graphical
issues
were
addressed
publicly
so
and
also
52
Elm
1
Street
is
I.
Guess
as
I
guess
it's
debatable
if
it's,
whether
it's
da
Chester
our
Roxbury.
A
B
This
time
really
just
a
quick
welcome.
The
30
Mildred
Ave
is
right
across
street
from
Mildred
I
have
school,
the
square
footage
says
35
42,
but
it
seems
like
a
continuous
lot.
That
has
a
lot
more.
That's
really
the
only
question
I
have
and
making
sure
that
I
don't
know.
If
that's
it's
just
one
sliver
of
that
giant
lot
that
we're
trying
to
move
and
if
that's
not
the
case
and
obviously
the
square
footage
was
wrong.
I
was
trying
to
clarify
that
good.
A
Great
and
we're
obviously
were
joined
today
we
have
several
administration
officials
today
with
us
so
and
whatever
in
any
particular
order
way.
No
William
episodes
here,
Donald,
Wright
and
Jim
McDonough
from
a
combination
of
real
estate
management
and
sales
from
D&D.
So
whoever,
however,
you
guys
want
to
present,
you
guys
have
the
floor.
C
And
over
from
the
BR
a
to
the
public
facilities
Commission
through
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development,
if
you
would
like
I,
can
quickly
go
through
each
of
these
parcels.
Give
you
a
quick
summary
as
to
the
parcel
itself
and
what
our
disposition
plans
are.
Currently,
the
first
would
be
one
Akron,
approximately
a
4,800
square
foot
parcel
in
Roxbury
this
parcel
of
butts
former
city-owned
property
that
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
disposed
of
for
development
as
urban
farm.
C
The
next
is
11
Chipman
Street
in
Dorchester,
approximately
2,400
square
foot
parcel
its
unbuildable
in
a
three
family
6,000
square
foot
district.
It
has
the
highest
and
best
use
as
sale
to
and
a
butter
for
either
addition
to
their
yard
or
for
parking.
The
next
would
be
52,
Elmont,
Street
and
Roxbury
or
Dorchester.
It's
approximately
4,000
square
foot
parcel.
This
would
be
buildable
with
some
zoning
relief.
It's
in
a
two-family,
5,000
square
foot
district
we've
targeted
this
for
our
neighborhood
homes.
Initiative
I'll
speak
briefly
about
that
initiative
and
referenced
it
again
going
forward
many
times.
C
This
is
our
homeownership
program,
where
we
have
two-thirds,
affordable
housing
and
one-third
market
rate
unrestricted
housing,
those
two
thirds
that
are
targeted
to
80%
homeowners
and
100%
homeowners.
We
put
that
program
out
with
specific
models
for
each
site
that
we've
heavily
with
the
community,
so
the
community
has
input
on
what
type
of
housing
goes
in
their
neighborhood
and
we
streamline
the
process
by
having
pre
developed
clams,
so
we'd
like
to
engage
the
community
in
that
program
on
this
parcel.
C
C
The
next
package
7
parcels
in
Roxbury
on
Marcella
Street
didi,
has
collaborated
with
the
VRA
and
has
issued
an
RFP
for
these
parcels
and
other
city
owned
parcels
to
be
developed
as
home
ownership
opportunities,
with
strong
reference
for
affordable
housing
similar
to
the
neighborhood
homes
initiative.
But
in
this
particular
package
we
will
not
be
prescribing
the
actual
home
models
and
instead
asking
developers
to
propose
models
that
are
more
contextual
with
that
historic
neighborhood.
C
The
next
is
the
parcel
in
question.
The
council
McCarthy
had
a
question
on
30
Mildred
Ave
in
Mattapan
is
approximately
3,500
square
feet
it
about
several
other
city
owned
parcels
that
are
within
D
and
E's
inventory.
The
total
site
would
be
14,000
square
feet
and
change.
This
one
we'd
like
to
engage
the
community
and
discuss
a
couple
of
different
options.
C
We
would
like
to
consider
a
homeownership
opportunity
here
on
the
entire
site
that
the
city
has
control
over,
but
we
also
respect
that
there
is
an
elementary
school
and
community
center
across
the
street
and
there
may
be
other
options
that
the
community
would
like
to
discuss
some
other
form
of
open
space
or
recreation.
So
we're
going
to
have
a
blank
canvas
on
this
when
I
try
to
figure
out
what
works
best
for
this
particular
site,
the
next
would
be
85
Selden
Street
in
Dorchester,
approximately
6000
square
feet.
C
It
is
a
buildable
parcel
and
we
would
like
to
include
this
in
the
neighborhood
homes
initiative.
It
is
right
next
door
to
the
Boston
International
high
school.
The
next
is
an
unnumbered
parcel
on
Tucker
Street
in
Mattapan.
It's
approximately
78
hundred
square
feet,
although
it
is
an
unbuildable
parcel
because
of
its
odd
shape,
that's
situated
and
kind
of
wraps
around
an
existing
three
family
house.
We
anticipate
the
highest
and
best
use
of
this
parcel
to
be
a
subdivision
and
sale
either
to
that
current
of
butter
as
additional
yard
space
on
the
northern
portion.
C
Of
that
we
expect
that
parcel
could
best
be
combined
with
the
adjacent
privately
held
vacant
land
for
development
as
a
home
ownership
opportunity.
So
we
may
have
some
chopping
of
this
one
to
do
next
parcel
436,
Warren
Street
in
Roxbury,
approximately
11,000
square
feet,
buildable
parcel
that
abuts
to
other
parcels
that
are
city-owned
within
D
and
E's
inventory
creates
a
total
sight
area
of
approximately
19
thousand
square
feet
it's
across
from
Boston
Latin
Academy,
and
we
think
this
would
be
a
good
opportunity
to
engage
the
community
on
a
mixed
income.
C
Mixed-Use
development
with
some
ground
floor.
Retail
space,
commercial
space,
neighborhood
community
space
and
storefront,
and
some
housing
back
up
up
above
and
back
in
behind
the
next
parcel,
is
26
West,
Cottage
Street
in
Dorchester,
approximately
2,000
square
feet.
It's
an
unbuildable
parcel
highest
and
best
uses,
sailed
to
the
butter
for
either
yard
space
or
parking,
and
the
last
parcel
is
30
Westville
Street
in
Dorchester,
approximately
eleven
thousand
four
hundred
square
feet.
C
This
parcel
abuts
another
parcel
within
the
city's
inventory
that
D&D
has
control
over
total
site
areas
about
23,000
square
feet,
we're
looking
to
engage
the
committee
in
the
neighborhood
homes
initiative.
However,
one
of
these
parcels
is
also
zoned
open
space
garden,
so
there
has
been
existing
preference
for
some
additional
open
space
in
the
community,
so
we'd
like
to
try
to
figure
creative
way
to
bring
in
some
new
home
ownership
opportunities,
as
well
as
some
open
space
garden
opportunities.
C
C
Have
not
appraised
them,
yet
we
just
brought
them
into
our
inventory,
but
we
will
be
conducting
an
appraisal
on
each
of
these
parcels
for
the
highest
and
best
use
and
that'll
be
taken
to
consideration
when
we
go
out
and
do
our
offering
the
total
assessed
value,
though,
if
you're
interested
is
about
seven
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
dollars
for
all
seventeen
parcels.
Okay
and
then.
A
So
that's
what's
that
process
in
terms
of
from
the
ones
that
are
not
available
where
there's
a
direct
about
us.
So
the
director
butter
gets
a
knock
on
the
door
or
a
letter
specific
to
them,
whether
it's
an
owner-occupied
situation
or
not,
but
the
land
owner
would
get
an
opportunity
to
write
a
first
refusal.
If
you
will
for
a
lot,
especially.
C
For
those
parcels
that
are
otherwise
unbuildable,
where
the
highest
and
best
use
is
going
to
that
owner
in
a
situation
where
there's
multiple
abutters,
we
do
outreach
to
all
the
butters
who
actually
are
up
against
that
property
with
a
residential
property
of
their
own
and
most
likely,
we
would
put
out
an
offering
if
there
are
multiple
with
the
appraised
value,
clearly
listed
and
solicit
the
highest
offer.
Okay,.
A
C
What's
great
about
the
neighborhood
homes,
initiative
is
a
third,
a
third,
a
third,
so
there's
absolutely
thirty
percent
of
the
homes
that
we
do
in
that
program
are
unrestricted
market
rate.
The
only
restriction
we
impose
on
it
is
that
they
are
homeowner
occupied
for
fifteen
years,
so
we
don't
want
them
being
operated
as
rental
properties
or
investment
properties.
Their.
A
Cuts
both
ways
which,
no
matter
what
like,
given
my
neighborhood,
for
example,
everyone's
being
priced
out.
We
need
more
affordable
housing
into
some
of
the
areas
that
want
more
market
because
they
have
enough
affordable.
So
it's
a
kind
of
a
balancing
act
that
you
guys
see
in
your
capacities,
but
didn't
know
whether
those
opportunities
were
made
available.
Yes,.
C
A
C
A
C
But
we
have
a
strong
preference
for
affordable
housing
and
it's
a
little
bit
different
than
the
neighborhood
Homes
initiative
in
that
particular
package
and
that
in
the
neighborhood
Homes
initiative,
we
prescribed
to
the
housing
type
and
the
model
of
the
home
that
we
put
on
each
of
these
sites
on
that
package.
Long
Marcella
we're
looking
for
housing
and
we
want
the
developers
to
propose
their
own
architecture
for
each
site
to
be
contextual.
A
C
Would
be
able
to
take
the
the
bottom
right
portion
of
the
parcel
and
use
that
as
a
yard
expansion,
they
don't
really
have
any
opportunity
to
create
a
buildable
lot
of
their
own.
But
there
is
a
property
owner
to
the
north.
Who
has
a
vacant
lot?
Who
could
take
our
northern
portion
of
our
parcel
and
create
a
bit
of
land.
A
A
As
we
can
very
good,
that
sort
of
as
he
satisfies
my
my
line
of
inquiry,
unless
you
have
anything
else
to
add
at
this
point,
pretty
straightforward
stuff,
so
is
the
Giro
issue,
a
committee
report
for
Wednesday's
hearing
and
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
to
directly
to
my
district
colleagues.
Obviously
Tim
who's
here
and
see
what,
if
any
additional
concerns
they
may
have,
and
then
my
expectation
is
to
have
it
before
the
council
for
a
vote
on
Wednesday.
Very
good.
Thank.
