A
Good

development
and
industrial

and

pandemic.
The

Slash
cable,
first
item,
take
a
roll
call,
the
members
and
miss
downs
president,
dr
landsmack
vincent
mr
miller.
President.
A
D
You,
mr
chairman,
coastal
cement
corporation,
has
been
a
tenant
in
the
raymond
elephant
marine
park.
Since
1985.,
you
may
recognize
the
four
giant
cement
silos
at
the
easternmost
portion
of
the
marine
park.
The
cement
is
manufactured
in
portland
maine
and
is
barged
into
boston
where
it
is
loaded
into
the
silos.
It
is
a
textbook
case
of
a
100
maritime
industrial
use.
D
The
initial
1985
lease
is
scheduled
to
was
scheduled
to
expire
in
2010,
with
several
five-year
option
terms.
I'm
here
today
to
request
approval
of
the
lease
extension
with
coastal
cement
corporation
for
the
continued
use
of
36
rider
avenue
in
the
raymond
elephant
marine
park
for
seabourn
delivery
and
land
distribution
of
cement
as
a
condition
of
the
extension
coastal
cement
has
agreed
to
the
following
terms
and
conditions.
D
The
leased
premises
will
be
reduced
from
77
000
square
feet
to
68
000
square
feet,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
february
board
meeting
that
will
allow
bpd
to
lease
the
additional
land
to
the
budding
tenant.
The
massachusetts
port
authority
to
assist
in
the
ultimate
expansion
of
the
88
clark,
falcon
avenue.
Building
coastal
will
now
pay
its
proportionate
share
of
bmip.
I'm
sorry
bpda
operating
expenses
in
the
marine
park
cosa
will
also
pay
all
real
estate
taxes
assessed
on
premises.
D
The
current
lease
puts
that
liability
entirely
on
bpda
coastal
will
also
pay
a
two
percent
transaction
fee
in
the
event
that
the
sale
the
lease
is,
it
is
sold
or
refinanced.
D
In
exchange
for
these
accommodations
to
bpda,
the
lease
expiration
date
will
be
extended
from
2030
to
2050..
D
We're
also
proposing
that
the
current
rental
rate
of
5.33
per
square
foot
of
land
be
reduced
to
2.75
cents
per
square
foot
of
land.
This
is
in
recognition
of
the
imposition
of
the
tax
liability
to
coastal
cement.
D
That
rate
will
escalate
by
3
each
year
for
the
duration
of
the
lease
term
now
prior
to
entering
the
negotiations
with
coastal
cement,
bpa
procured
the
services
of
an
independent
financial
consultant,
kirk
and
company
to
assist
in
bpa's
internal
analysis,
and
we
also
procured
an
independent
appraisal
from
prominent
firm
calliers
international
for
the
purposes
of
determining
the
sec.
D
A
second
opinion
of
the
appropriate
rent
to
charge
bpda
and
kirk
and
company
both
believe
that
the
2.78
cents
per
square
foot
land
rate
proposed
would
be
appropriate
in
the
current
market,
provided
that
taxes
and
utilities
are
not
included.
In
that
rate,
with
the
tax
imposition
estimated
to
be
over
two
dollars
per
square
foot,
coastal's
cost
of
occupancy
will
still
exceed
five
dollars
per
square
foot
net
of
utilities.
D
Although
the
annual
rent
paid
to
bpda
decreases
by
virtue
of
lowering
the
per
square
foot
rate
from
396
000
a
year
to
189
000
present
value
of
the
net
cash
flow
retained
by
bb
bpd
actually
increases
by
61
that
from
2.1
million
to
3.4
million.
That
increase
is
due
to
the
extended
term
and
the
shifting
of
the
tax
burden
away
from
bpda.
D
A
Great
thanks
dennis
before
I
open
it
up
to
the
board
for
questions.
I
would
imagine
I
know
you
said
it
reduced,
but
it
ends
up
being
61
more,
but
we're
also
going
to
be
picking
up
revenue
from
massport's
additional
square
footage.
Correct!
That's,
correct,
yeah,
good,
nice,
nice
work,
any
questions
on
the
board,
seeing
none.
What's
the
pleasure
of
the
board,
it's
unmoved!
Thank
you.

And
mr
miller
aye
motion

second

you.

Mommy
number,

request
authorization

policy

into
adopting
and

a
language

plan.
Rene.
F
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
and
director
golden
I'm
here
to
request
your
approval
of
a
formal
written
non-discrimination.
I'm
sorry,
non-discrimination
policy
that
applies
to
all
bpda
programs
and
activities,
as
well
as
approval
of
the
bpda's
language
access
plan.
F
H
I
began
this
role
in
february
of
this
year,
so
just
over
five
weeks
ago,
I
graduated
from
umass
amherst
in
2018
with
a
degree
in
civil
engineering
and
I'm
very
passionate
about
languages
and
linguistics,
and
so
I'm
super
thrilled
to
be
here
with
you
all
and
with
the
bpda
in
order
to
uphold
the
dpda's
goal
of
inclusive
economic
growth.
A
request
is
before
you
to
adopt
a
language
access
plan
to
ensure
meaningful
access
to
our
public
process
for
limited
english
proficiency
or
lep
individuals.
H
The
lap
will
apply
to
article
80
large
projects
and
the
pdas
local
located
in
communities
with
a
significant
composition
of
lep
individuals.
Throughout
the
article
80
process,
there
are
opportunities
for
the
community
to
engage
voice,
their
questions
and
concerns
and
provide
feedback
for
our
development
review
process.
The
lap
focuses
on
these
areas
and
provides
guidelines
for
the
bpda
to
make
that
engagement
more
equitable
through
language
services,
to
assess
the
need
for
language
services
in
each
community.
H
The
bpda's
research
team
continuously
updates
demographic
and
linguistic
data
by
assessing
the
american
community
survey
administered
by
the
u.s
u.s
census
bureau.
This
survey
is
administered
in
each
community
to
get
as
large
as
sample
size
as
possible,
and
the
data
will
be
continuously
updated
to
observe
trends
in
linguistic
government.
H
The
lap
takes
this
information
and
highlights
the
key
the
key
threshold
languages
in
each
neighborhood
of
boston,
which
allows
us
to
focus
on
the
kinds
of
languages
language
services
required
to
engage
the
community
to
support
the
laps
assessment.
Feedback
will
also
be
analyzed
to
address
any
needs
that
the
census
might
have
missed.
H
In
addition
to
the
main
lap
project,
proponents
will
also
provide
project
language
access
plans
or
class
plaps
for
individual
deposits
to
further
detail.
The
strategy
for
community
engagement
and
inclusion
in
the
plap
proponents
will
address
the
threshold
language
or
languages
they
are
targeting
and
outline.
The
plan
to
provide
language
services
needed
to
meaningfully
engage
the
community
myself
as
lac.
I
will
ensure
the
implementation
of
the
lip
and
ongoing
compliance
by
the
bpda.
In
addition,
I
will
continue
to
collaborate
with
other
city
departments
such
as
the
mayor's
office
for
language
and
communication
access.
H
Implementation
of
the
lap
requires
an
understanding
of
the
language
assessments
mentioned
previously,
as
well
as
the
services
available
to
address
them.
There
will
be
two
language
services
provided
through
this
plan.
Translation
services
and
oral
interpreting
translation
services
are
available
to
ensure
meaningful
access
to
the
public
process
by
translating
into
these
threshold
languages
the
vital
documents
and
other
useful
information.
H
The
lep
lists
vendors
that
provide
these
services
to
the
bpda,
as
well
as
the
languages
they
specialize
or
concentrate
in.
In
addition,
oral
interpreting
is
available
for
leps
at
public
gatherings,
and
the
pbda
will
notify
the
public
of
its
ability
to
accommodate
listeners
via
oral
interpreting.
When
meeting
announcements
are
publicized,
it
will
be
provided
in
threshold
languages
as
applicable
and
as
analyzed
in
the
plan.
H
The
following
steps
will
be
expanded
upon
in
future
meetings,
and
these
steps
are
an
overview
of
the
lip,
an
overview
of
the
request
process
to
access
language
services
and
how
to
work
with
interpreters
and
also
as
lac
I'll
be
tracking
language
services
throughout
the
request
and
execution
stages
and
address
any
issues
with
the
development
review
and
planning
team.
In
addition,
training
requirements
will
be
analyzed
to
ensure
that
the
bpa
staff
has
an
understanding
of
the
lap
and
its
implementation.
H
H
The
lap
also
allows
for
partnerships
with
community
organizations
allowing
the
bpda
to
access
demographic
and
communication
needs,
and,
lastly,
the
bpda
will
incorporate
feedback
from
the
community
to
better
understand
how
we
could
improve
on
the
implementation
of
the
lap
and
any
other
issues
that
might
arise
in
the
meantime,
with
that.
We
hope
that
the
implementation
of
this
language
access
plan
will
fuel,
inclusive
and
consistent
engagement
from
the
communities
in
boston,
especially
those
who
are
limited
in
their
ability
to
speak
or
communicate
effectively
in
english.
H
C
Have
a
question
first
welcome
ahmed,
we're
very
excited
to
have
you
here
very
excited
with
me
to
be
putting
this
plan
in
place.
I've
had
to
do
a
setup
translating
at
my
old
business,
for
our
staff
provide
live
translation
of
our
staff
meetings,
and
one
of
my
questions
is
that
the
plan
allows
for
us
to
use
sometimes
our
own
staff
as
translators
and
also
mentioned
using
google
translate
as
to
translate
documents
to
me.
C
Both
of
those
seem
like
I
feel
concerned
about
having
those
two
options
in
the
plan,
because
translation
is
such
a
skill
and
we
need
to
be
providing
it
on
a
professional
level,
especially
given
all
the
complicated
language
that's
involved
in
our
development
meetings.
So
can
you
talk
about
the
vendors
that
we're
going
to
have?
Should
we
have
a
firm
that
handles
all
of
our
translation
or
how
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
all
the
translation
we're
providing
is
at
a
very
professional
level,
with
really
good
equipment
and
not
informal?
H
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
johnson.
The
main
provider
for
translation
and
interpreting
services
are
certified
vendors
and
interpreters.
The
the
lap
does
allow
for
assistive
technology,
for
example,
or
bpda
staff,
should
they
be
available
to
provide
interpreting
if
other
options
aren't
available
or
if
they
create
some
kind
of
administrative
or
financial
burden.
But
the
main
focus
is,
as
you
mentioned,
to
have
certified
and
professional
interpreters,
which
there
is
a
list
of
provided
by
the
lap
and
a
list
of
vendors
that
have
previously
worked
with
the
lap
with
the
vpda
as
well.
F
And
may
I
just
elaborate
that
we've
had
internal
discussions
about
this
issue
that
you're
raising
and
your
concern,
and
we
also
agree.
The
staff
does
agree
that
the
the
services
provided
really
the
staff,
including
the
staff
in
there.
F
It
was
really
just
as
support
or
in
you
know,
as
sort
of
us
in
case
something
came
up
at
the
la
at
a
at
a
meeting,
but
it's
really
intended
for
us
to
use
our
professional,
our
professional
interpreters
and
and
and
vendors,
not
for
this
to
come
down
on
onto
the
staff.
I
I
I
have
two
that
spin
off
of
the
previous
question.
I
One
of
the
issues
we
inevitably
have
is
that
we're
translating
substantive
information
and
data,
which
can
often
be
very
complicated
and
sometimes
very
technical,
so
that
the
simple
translation
of
words
doesn't
necessarily
open
up
a
clear
meaning
when
we're
talking
about
a
development
process
or
construction
process.
I
And
I
wonder
whether,
if
it's
not
already
built
into
this
new
process,
whether
we
can
begin
something
of
a
training
program
that
would
better
prepare
our
translators
not
only
to
translate
the
words
but
really
to
explain
some
of
the
meanings.
I
Particularly
given
that
my
understanding
is
that
at
this
point,
nearly
30
percent
of
boston's
residents
are
and
new
immigrants
into
boston
and
into
the
country
with
a
very
wide
variety
of
language,
skills
and
countries
of
origin,
but
not
necessarily
a
deep
understanding
of
the
development
process
and
of
the
process
of
really
comprehending
what
the
neighborhood
impacts
of
some
of
our
projects
may
be.
I
And
so
I
wonder
whether
we're
building
in
some
kind
of
training
for
the
more
specialized
the
translations.
We
need
and
then
my
second
question
which
I'll
ask.
At
the
same
time
is,
it
sounds
as
though
we're
going
to
be
developing
some
extremely
rich
data
on
neighborhood
changes
and
language
and
demographics,
and
I
wonder
whether
that
new
data
that's
being
developed
will
be
widely
available
to
the
public.
That
is
interested
in
trying
to
assess
the
neighborhood
changes
across
the
city.
F
I
can
answer
those
questions
first,
so
we
spent
we
entered
into
the
voluntary
compliance
agreement
with
with
hud
last
fall,
and
we
spent
several
months
working
on
the
language
access
plan,
because
we
did
need
to
take
into
account
some
of
the
things
that
that
are
being
raised
here
today
and
dr
lands
mark.
F
One
of
them
was
the
fact
that
we
do
have
in
the
development
review
process,
and
we
understand
that
it
can
be
really
technical
and
confusing,
not
just
to
folks
that
are
limited
english
speakers,
but
also
just
to
any
any
person
out
there.
So
our
lap
plan
is
designed
so
that,
first
and
foremost
we
can
translate
vital
documents,
and
so
what
we
did
was
we
created
a
list
of
vital
documents
and
one
of
the
vital
documents
for
every
everything
we're
doing
from
plans
to
development
review.
F
We
will
be
able
to
do
summaries
of
an
executive
summaries
of
these
more
difficult
documents
and
then
so
those
will
be
translated,
so
that
they're,
you
know
so
those
are
available
in
in
the
languages
that
are
that
that
are
triggered
and
then
what
we
plan
to
do
from
there
would
be
to
have
interpreters
and
work
with
interpreters
so
that
they
can
further
explain
the
documents.
F
What
they're
about
in
those
contents-
and
we
do
anticipate-
and
you
are
correct
in
pointing
out
that
we
will
have
to
work
with
the
interpreters
and
there
will
need
to
be
some
training
on
what
our
processes
are
and
what
these
documents
mean,
so
that
the
translations
and
meanings
can
can
really
come
through.
So
that's
that's
the
first
thing
we
did
try
to
build
that
into
the
lap.
The
development
review
and
planners
now
are
real,
are
working
really
hard.
They're
working,
you
know
internally,
to
figure
this
out
and
then
also
externally.
F
They've
engaged
already
some
engineers
and
consultants
that
do
a
lot
of
article
80
review
projects
so
that
they
can
figure
out
the
best
way
to
sort
of
get
this
information
translated
in
and
out
there.
So
so
and
then
on
the
I'm.
Sorry,
can
you
please
repeat
your
second
question
and
just.
I
The
second
question
just
relates
to
how
much
of
of
our
demographic
analysis
of
neighborhoods
is,
is
going
to
be
available
beyond
the
agency.
Oh.
F
Yes,
so
our
research
department
has
already
been
making
available
all
the
information
that
they've
been
putting
together
for
our
lap
as
well
as
for
the
cities.
The
city
is
also
doing
when
they
were.
They
were
another,
the
other
party,
to
the
voluntary
compliance
agreement,
and
so
so
everything
they
do.
F
It's
it's
been
made
available
and
I
believe
you
are
correct
that,
from
what
we're
doing
now,
we
are
going
to
be
gathering
new
data
and
information,
and
so
I
would
expect
that
the
research
department
will
continue
to
use
that
information
and
make
it
available
to
the
public
and
into
anyone
else,
who's
looking
for
it
and
we're
working
very
closely
with
the
city
because
again
they're
also
using
the
bpda
research
for
their
lap
as
well.
Thank
you.

A
Jeff,
I
have
a
question
before
I
open
it
up
to
the
board,
are
you
seeing
so
the
83
I
really
haven't
been
keeping
a
record
of
every
meeting
is
83
pretty
consistent.
What
we've
seen
over
the
last
five
years,
have
you
seen
an
increased
decrease.
M
It's
actually
increasing
the
numbers
are
increasing
and
the
planning
staff's
doing
a
great
job.
They
were.
Actually
you
know
it
would
have
been
a
lot
higher.
However,
we
were
missing
a
lot
of
information
from
isd.
We
originally
had
117
appeals,
but
because
we
just
didn't
know
what
the
violations
were,
we
couldn't
write
recommendations.
A
Any
questions
on
the
board
of
jeff
hearing
none.
What's
the
pleasure
of
the
board
motion
made
in
seconding
roll

miss

dr
landsmack

mr

I'm

renee
and
ahmad.
I
don't
know
if
we
have
to
get
in
cover
as
much,
but
it's
up
to
you.
F
It's
the
same
presentation
that
we
just
provided
a
few
minutes
ago.
A
Okay
questions,
I'm
good
with
that.
I
don't
think
it's
even
though
it's
a
different
meeting,
it's
within
a
short
period
of
time.
I
don't
have
any
further
questions,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
board
would
thought
of
any
more
since
under
ediac
I'd.
A
Very
good,
so
hearing
no
questions.
What's
the
pleasure
of
the
board
moved?
Thank

to
the
consultant

contract
with
the
nbbj

for
the

planning
study
for
an
extension
of
time.
Only
ken
and
ryan.
O
Good
afternoon,
members
of
the
board
director
goldman
secretary
thanks
for
having
me
my
name,
is
ken
and
ryan:
I'm
the
interim
deputy
director
for
downtown
and
neighborhood
planning
and
the
project
manager
for
planned
downtown.
O
So
for
a
little
bit
of
background
on
august
16
2018,
the
bpda
authorized
the
director
to
enter
into
our
contract
with
nbbj
for
the
downtown
planning
study
which
I'll
refer
to
as
plan
downtown.
For
the
rest
of
this
presentation,
the
contract
was
not
to
exceed
an
amount
of
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
contract
was
executed
on
september
21st
2018
with
nbbj
in
general.
At
a
high
level.
The
scope
items
associated
with
that
are
kind
of
an
existing
conditions.
O
Analysis
for
the
entire
study
area,
developing
a
series
of
planning,
visions
and
goals,
doing
a
series
of
development
scenario,
analyses
kind
of
refining
those
in
one
clear
direction,
and
then
our
ultimate
goal
is
to
release
urban
design
and
development
guidelines
and
zoning
recommendations.
Along
with
a
broader
plan
document
on
november
14
2019,
the
director
was
authorized
on
behalf
of
the
bpa,
to
execute
an
amendment
to
the
original
contract
which
increased
the
amount
by
150
thousand
dollars.
O
On
july
16
2020,
the
director
was
authorized
to
export
another
contract
amendment
which
extended
the
scope
by
eight
months
to
april
30th
of
this
year
april,
30th
2021.,
the
bpda
and
mbbj
entered
into
this
contract
amendment
on
september,
4th
2020.
we're
looking
to
extend
that
again
at
this
point
in
time.
The
project
has
remained
on
hold
during
that
time
period
and
we
have
not
engaged
the
public
again
or
kind
of
extended
our
external
work
with
the
consultant.
O
Since
that
time,
bpda
staff
recommends
that
the
director
be
authorized
to
execute
a
third
contract
amendment
with
nbbj
and
extend
that
by
an
additional
12
months
until
april
30th
2022.,
there's
no
additional
cost
associated
with
the
contract
extension
and
the
current
contract
termination
date,
as
I
mentioned,
is
coming
up
soon
april.
30Th
2021..
O
A
C
A
Motion
made
and
seconded
roll
call
miss
downst
right,
mr
miller
aye,
and
I'm
voting
for
the
motion.
Number
six
request.
Authorization
to
amend
the
contract
for
consultant
services
with
sasaki
associates
inc
for
the
4.100
acres
in
south
boston,
open
space
plant
by
extending
the
term
of
the
contract.
Mr
cristo.
K
K
Since
the
project
began,
the
consultant
and
project
team
have
held
two
large
public
community
workshops,
15
focus
group
meetings
and
presentations,
four
steering
committee
meetings
and
conducted
two
community
surveys,
beginning
in
march
of
2020.
Any
of
that
work
has
been
conducted
virtually
after
a
pause
as
kevin
and
noted
before
early
on
in
the
days
of
the
early
public
emergency.
K
K
K
The
proposed
park
network
strengthens
connections
to
the
waterfront,
creates
a
more
resilient
community
and
expands
recreation
events
and
green
space
access.
The
open
spaces
are
designed
to
become
year-round
destinations
for
boston
as
a
whole,
while
also
meeting
the
current
and
future
future
local
neighborhood
needs.
K
An
underlying
focus
of
this
plan
is
for
the
parks
to
be
resilient
and
welcoming
to
all
strategies
to
create
a
more
inclusive
park.
Network
are
woven
tightly
throughout
the
recommendations
in
this
plan,
the
plan
will
serve
as
the
guide
for
future
development
of
open
space
resources.
As
100
acres
is
built
out,
it
describes
a
vision
for
a
connected
set
of
distinct
destination,
quality,
open
spaces,
experiences
that
are
reflective
of
community
priorities
and
needs
identified
through
research
and
analysis.
K
A
Any
questions
from
of
joe.
I
I
just
had
one
quick
question.
The
overview
of
your
plan
here
clearly
indicates
that
the
streetscape
is
also
a
significant
part
of
what
needs
to
be
built
into
the
resilience
planning
for
this
area,
and-
and
I
wonder
whether
the
draft
plan
which
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
take
a
look
at,
but
I
wonder
whether
the
draft
plan
also
incorporates
streetscape
improvements
that
will
address
issues
of.
K
K
Great
question
dr
lance
mark:
I
appreciate
it
and
I'll
be
sure
to
send
you
a
link
to
the
draft
plan
following
the
meeting.
But,
yes,
it
does.
There
are
streetscape
improvements
that
are
recommended
in
line
with
the
open
space
improvements.
You
know,
as
you
noted,
the
two
have
to
go
hand
in
hand
when
thinking
about
not
only
resilience
but
also
accessibility
and
connectivity
to
other
parts
of
the
city.
A
Thank
you
joe
any
further
questions,
joe.
I
I
have
a
question
so
I'd
like
to
see
that
at
some
point
to
the
draft,
the
so
on
this
with
the
sasaki,
what
they're
doing
are
they
actually
making
recommendations,
also
on
zoning
as
far
as
what
we,
what
we
approve
here,
what
we
approve
of
the
zba,
everything
from
being
an
electrician,
comes
now
to
me
switch
gear
transformers.
A
Are
they
going
that
far
to
say
that
you
know
we
should
not
be
placing
electrical
distribution
equipment
in
the
basements
of
buildings
on
the
waterfront?
Is
it
going
that
far?
Is
it
just
more
about
open
space
and
roads.
K
You
know
this
plan
in
particular
is
more
about
the
open
space
and
roads
and
how
those
contribute
to
district
scale
climate
resilience,
but
the
things
you're
citing
are
more
addressed
both
through
our
flood
resilience.
Zoning
overlay
district,
as
well
as
climate
ready
boston.
The
two
initiatives
that
this
plan
works
closely
aligned
with.
A
P
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board
in
2007,
the
bpda
board
authorized
the
director
to
enter
into
a
license
agreement
with
the
new
england
aquarium
for
the
use
of
property
located
at
east
india
row
adjacent
to
the
simon's
theater
in
the
downtown
waterfront
for
the
purpose
of
utilizing
a
bpva-owned
food
vending
kiosk
the
license
has
been
extended
through
multiple
bpda
managed,
rfp
processes
and
the
aquarium
has
consistently
been
awarded.
The
vending
rights
nea
also
operates
the
harborview
cafe
inside
the
aquarium,
building,
covid19
related
social
distance
requirements
and
seating
capacity.
P
P
The
proposed
license
will
be
in
effect
from
april
1st
through
march
31st.
2022
no
fee
is
proposed
for
the
use
of
the
bpda
property.
However,
nea
will
pay
a
fee
for
the
continued
use
of
the
kiosk.
The
fee
will
be
600
monthly
for
the
length
of
the
term.
The
fee
represents
a
75
percent
reduction
from
the
fee
for
the
year
prior
to
the
covid19
pandemic,
which
is
equal
to
the
rent
reduction
offered
to
other
vendors
on
long
wharf.
P
In
our
covered
recovery
efforts,
the
license
term
will
include
two
individual
extension
options
at
the
then
current
fair
market
value
for
the
bpva
own
land
and
kiosk,
and
will
be
presented
to
the
bpva
board
for
consideration
at
a
future
board
meeting.
Thank
you,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank.
I
I
can't
I
have
one,
but
I'm
assuming
that
the
aquarium
uses
a
separate
vendor
for
servicing.
This
cafe
in
the
kiosk
is
that
correct.
P
I
So
what
what
I'm
wondering
is
whether
there
are
any
incentives
or
directives
to
the
aquarium
around
their
procurement
to
try
to
focus
that
procurement
on
firms
owned
by
women,
people
of
color
and
boston
residents.
P
Going
forward
we'll
have
a
discussion
again
about
putting
this
out
for
rfp
for
this
season,
in
particular,
because
the
changing
requirements
for
everything
to
do
with
kovid.
We
decided
that
this
would
be
the
safest
decision
for
this
season.

P
The

does
not
contemplate
auctions
to
extend
the
term
any
proposed
extension
of
the
license
with
landrieu's
beyond
the
term
expiring
march.
31St

will
require

pleased

approval
for
this
fifth
notice
of
project
change
to
the
parcel
5
project
of
the
massport
marine
terminal
in
the
raymond

marine
park.
The
last
approval
authorized
by
this
board
the
fourth
notice
of
project
change
in
february
of
2018
allowed
for
the
construction

a
project
totaling
approximately
two
hundred
eleven
thousand
three
hundred
sixty
square

of
marine
industrial
uses

S
After
entering

development
agreement
for
the
project
site
in
april
of
2019
pilot
development
partners,
submitted
a
fifth
notice
of
project
change
to
the
bpda
on
january
19th
2021.
under
the
fifth
npc.
The
proposed
project
remains
largely
unchanged
from
that
which
was
last
approved
by
this
board
through
the
fourth
npc.
S
Pilot
development
is
also
the
developer
of
parcel
vi
of
the
massport
marine
terminal,
which
is
similarly
being
developed
in
several
phases,
the
first
of
which
saw
the
recent
opening
of
boston,
sword
and
tuna's
new
facility.
The
bpda
is
pleased
to
support
pilots,
expanded
efforts
to
provide
high
quality
marine
processing
facilities
in
the
flynn
marine
park.
S
Both
the
proposed
project
here
in
parcel
5
and
the
approved
project
on
parcel
6
provide
important
opportunities
for
expansion
within
the
city
of
boston
for
the
many
local
seafood
companies
which
have
long
called
the
marine
park
and
other
industrial
areas
across
the
city
home.
We

Okay,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
make
this
presentation
it's
very
exciting,
to
bring
davis
to
a
new
building.
They've
looked
for
a
new
facility
for
expansion
and
for
consolidation,
a
long
time,
their
first
new
ground
up
building
in
40
years,
the
building
will
be
the
most
resilient
at
massport's
marine
terminal
three
feet
higher
than
the
projected
2070
flood
level.

This

better
about
the
balance
of
processing

cooling
space

Nick
good
afternoon,
mr
monahan
members
of
the
board
director
golden
secretary
polemis,
I'm
john
palgenin,
on
behalf
of
the
654
660
east
broadway
realty
llc.
Thank
you
for
having
us
here
this
afternoon
with
me.
Today
is
joey
akari
who's,
the
owner
of
the
property,
together
with
dennis
greenwood,
the
team
architect
nick
did
a
great
job,
highlighting
the
community
process
and
proposed
development.
In
addition,
nick's
comments,
our
team
is
pleased
to
contribute
what
we
feel
is
a
proposal
that
encompass
the
city's
goals,
especially
as
they
relate
to
the
main
street
district.
X
Y
John,
so
we
can
go
on
to
the
next
slide
again.
I'm
dennis
greenwood,
with
souza
design,
architects
excited
to
walk
you
through
the
proposal,
nick
kind
of
already
highlighted
most
of
the
stuff
on
this
slide,
but
essentially
the
project
is
a
mixed-use
development.
The
first
floor
is
going
to
be
mostly
used
as
a
restaurant
space
as
an
existing
restaurant.
On
the
lot
now,
there's
currently
three
buildings
on
the
lot
which
you'll
see
in
the
forthcoming
slide.
Y
Those
buildings
are
going
to
be
raised
for
one
larger
building,
we're
still
going
to
re-house
the
playwright
on
that
space.
Up
above
on
the
second
floor
is
a
workspace.
That's
going
to
be
a
shared
use,
space,
it's
6100
square
feet
and
then
the
two
floors
above
that
are
residential
for
eight
total
units.
Y
So
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
So
on
the
left,
we
have
the
locus
map
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
context.
We're
located
in
between
the
the
public
library
and
to
the
right
is
a
single
story.
Building
that's
currently
being
looked
at
for
development.
It's
the
liquor
store,
which
you
can
see
in
the
photo
on
the
upper
right.
Y
The
blue
building
that
you
see,
which
is
the
the
two-story
building,
is
on
the
lot
that
is
654,
east
broadway
and
then
the
playwright
building,
which
is
the
brown
three-story
building,
is
660
east
broadway.
Both
buildings
are
on
the
property
those
will
be
raised
and
that's
the
site
of
the
proposed
building
in
the
rear,
there's
actually
660r,
which
is
a
smaller
building,
which
also
hoses
another
three
residential
units
as
part
of
the
proposal
that
will
be
removed
as
well.
Y
So
you
can
go
on
to
the
next
slide
and
I'll
keep
it
brief
here,
but
essentially
the
footprint
on
the
right
side
of
the
building.
We
had
less
than
a
three
foot
setback
on
the
existing
conditions.
We
worked
with
the
city
to
bring
that
in
through
the
design
review
process.
That's
now
five
feet
along
the
entire
length
of
the
building.
We
previously
had
that
rear
building
at
660r.
That
was
very
tight
to
the
the
back
of
the
property
line.
We've
pulled
that
in
there's
now
a
20-foot
rear
backyard,
we're
using
that
as
an
amenity
space.
Y
Around
the
back
perimeter,
we're
also
doing
a
privacy
fence
we're
looking
at
some
arborvitae
trees
for
additional
privacy
and
some
grills
to
increase
that
amenity
space
at
the
front
you
can
see
the
restaurant.
The
residential
entry
is
on
the
left
side.
The
restaurant
entry
is
on
the
right
side.
We're
creating
a
vestibule
there
for
energy
efficiency
is
als
also
as
a
buffer
for
the
occupancy
inside
next
slide.
Please.
Y
And
then,
on
the
fourth
floor,
we
set
back
five
feet
to
help
reduce
the
mass
in
the
building
and
we
use
dark
hardy
plank
siding
for
that
change
in
material
to
again
kind
of
create
a
three
story.
Reading
along
east
broadway,
the
brick
actually
wraps
around
the
right
side
in
the
left
side
back
over
30
feet
so
that
the
brick
kind
of
takes
on
the
strong
presence
on
the
streetscape.
Y
So
we
can
go
on
to
the
next
slide
and
you'll
see
that
in
renderings
as
well.
So
again
you
can
see
the
brick
turn
the
corner
back
that
30
feet.
We
have
this
projecting
small
little
storefront
at
the
first
floor,
to
demarcate
that
restaurant
use
and
again
using
kind
of
the
rhythm
of
the
classic
brick
with
kind
of
clean
detailing
and
a
contemporary
way
to.
I
think,
really
improve
that
streetscape
along
east
broadway.
X
I
think
that's
the
presentation,
thank
you
for
having
us
any
questions.
We
would
happen
to
answer
we're.
A
Good,
thank
you
john.
I
will
say
your
client,
mr
your
client,
mr
kyrie,
the
last
two
projects
he
did
in
seven
hill,
excellent
I'll
tell
you
that
you'd
have
to
look
a
long
way
to
find
two
better
architecturally
built.
I
don't
know
if
you
were
the
architect
dennis
the
one
on
pleasant
on
the
corner,
pleasant,
the
other
one.
That's
on
savile,
haven't
you
yeah.
A
That
was
you
yes
nicely
done
I'll.
Tell
you
the
so
I
don't
have
any
further
questions.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions
of
any
of
the
presenters.
N
Right,
thank
you,
second,
that
joe
akari's
got
a
great
reputation
and
has
done
some
really
good
work
and
been
supportive
of
the
community.
But
I'm
reviewing
a
few
of
the
notes
from
some
of
the
abutters
and
some
of
the
long
time
neighbors.
N
X
Yeah,
yes,
brian.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
We
went
through
a
as
nick
said
at
the
outro.
This
project
initially
started
out
as
just
a
strictly
zoning
board
of
appeal
project,
because
it
was
going
to
be
an
addition
onto
the
existing
structure
where
the
playwright
sits.
However,
once
that
was
approved
the
through
engineering,
they
realized
that
it
wasn't
stable
enough
to
support
it.
So
the
aggregate
changed
to
over
20
000,
so
we
had
gone
through
an
extensive
process.
X
I
probably
myself
have
attended
ten
community
meetings
with
the
abutters
to
address
all
the
specific
issues,
whether
that
be
noise,
whether
that
be
lights,
whether
it
be
crowd,
control
and
all
different
things,
and
we
went
through
the
vpd
design
review.
They
had
requested
that
you
know,
let's
bring
the
building
in,
so
this
building
actually
has
been
reduced
in
size
and
scope
in
density.
X
Since
what
was
approved
at
zoning
board
of
appeal
and
the
bpda
asked
us
to
you
know,
let's
make
a
livable
space
out
back,
that
included
fire
pits
and
some
grills.
We
recently
had
the
article
80
public
meeting
for
this,
and
that
issue
came
up
with
respect
to
the
fire
pits.
Mr
akari
at
the
time
said,
if
there's
an
issue
with
that,
he
does
not.
I
mean
he
was
doing
that
for
the
benefit
of
the
the
residents,
and
it
would
only
be
exclusive
to
the
residents.
X
It's
only
eight
units,
but
if
that
was
an
issue
to
anybody,
that
would
be
something
that
you
know.
We
would
certainly
not
proceed
with,
but
we
have
worked
extensively
with
the
neighbors
and
again,
mr
miller,
that
did
not
come
up
until
you
know
last
week,
previous
to
that
it
was
all
based
on
sound
and
what
side
of
security
and
some
you
know,
lighting,
and
things
like
that,
which
we
have
reached
agreements
with
the
about
ourselves.
X
I
A
Echo
that
mr
landsbach,
that
brick
architecture
really
caught
my
attention
on
the
front,
there's
a
that's
some
old
old
type
of
designs,
which
is
nice
to
see
any
further
questions
of
the
of
the
presenters
hearing.
None.
What's
the
pleasure
of
the
board
download
second
motion
made
and
seconded
roll
call,
ms
downs
hi,
dr
landsmark
aye,
mr
miller
hi,
and
I'm
voting
for
the
motion.
Congratulations.
A
Thank
you
very
much.

Z
AA
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
eric
robinson,
roadie,
architects.
Hopefully
we
can
build
on
the
goodwill.
This
project
is
also
the
client
is
joey
akari
coming
to
dorchester
again,
so
we're
excited
to
hear
the
positive
feedback
from
the
previous
project.
I
think
this
project,
while
a
little
bit
of
a
different
context,
we
believe,
has
a
lot
of
the
same
characteristics
that
were
found
in
the
previous
project
next
slide.
Please.
AA
AA
AA
It's
exciting
to
be
able
to
now
start
working
within
the
context
of
the
study,
and
so
you
know
this
is
this
is
sort
of
going
to
be
the
first
project
that
will
be
happening
near
my
house,
and
you
know.
I
think
that
the
study
has
given
us
a
set
of
guidelines
that
we
can
work
within
and
also
create
great,
a
great
project.
So
next
slide.
Please.
AA
As
as
mentioned,
the
the
project
will
consist
of
two
buildings,
mainly
because
of
the
the
odd
shape
of
the
lot
which
you
can
see
highlighted
in
the
center
of
the
screen
on
the
left.
AA
AA
These
are
just
some
of
the
images
that
we
used
during
our
public
process.
We
did
have
one
very
well
attended
public
meeting.
We've
also
been
to
the
columbia,
seven
hill,
civic
planning
committee-
I
think
three
times,
and
they
did
vote
on
tuesday
night
to
support
this
project
and
we'll
be
taking
it
to
the
the
local
full
board
for
approval
at
the
beginning
of
next
month.
AA
AA
We
have
pulled
the
building
back
on
dorchester
avenue
to
create
an
extended
sidewalk
to
create
some
additional
outdoor
seating,
so
we're
really
excited
about
activation
on
the
ground
floors.
The
other
businesses,
up,
as
you
can
see,
between
our
building
and
saving
lab,
do
not
have
that
opportunity,
as
they
are
currently
existing
buildings,
but
we're
looking
forward
to
setting
a
precedent
and
new
projects
within
this
study
can
really
use
the
sidewalk
to
their
advantage
for
some
commercial
space.
And
then
you
can
see
the
smaller
building.
That's
located
in
blue
up
against
savannah
lab.
AA
That
building
is
being
envisioned
a
little
bit
more
consistent
with,
I
would
say,
the
traditional
triple
deckers
that
we
see
along
saving
live
in
terms
of
its
its
scale.
It's
a
little
bit
more
contemporary,
but
it's
really
consists
of
three
through
units
about
1200
square
feet,
which
will
be
two
plus
bedroom
units.
So
we're
super
excited
about
that
and
then
with
respect
to
the
larger
21
unit,
building
that
consists
of
a
mix
of
ones
and
three
bedroom
units
with
some
one
pluses
mixed
in
as
well.
AA
So
it
has
a
nice
sort
of
blend
of
units
that
have
decks
associated
we
with
each
one
of
them
in
some
outdoor
space.
So
we're
excited
about
the
residential
program,
consistent
with
the
commercial
program
at
the
ground
floor
next
slide.
AA
So
we're
excited
to
be
able
to
introduce
some
green
space
between
that
that
will
really
be
passive.
It
won't
be
an
active
and
programmed
green
space
just
being
a
little
bit
more
consistent
with
some
of
the
rear.
Budding
lots
facing
deer
street,
which
is
our
company
street
on
the
other
side.
Next
slide.
AA
So
some
of
the
renderings
of
the
envisioning
of
the
project,
so
joey's
really
asked
us
to
create
a
an
architecture
that
would
be
timeless.
So
we
introduced
a
series
of
oversized
windows
within
all
of
the
units,
so
we're
really
excited
about
the
amount
of
glass
and
transparency
that
these
units
will
have
and
then
introducing
brick
in
a
contemporary
way.
AA
So
this
is
a
fully
brick
building
utilizing
some
great
detailing
that
will
enhance
the
quality
of
this
project
and
as
we're
hoping
to
really
set
forth
a
high
bar
for
all
the
future
development
that
we
assume
will
be
coming
along
dorchester
avenue
in
this
in
this
direction.
So
you
can
see
on
the
ground
floor.
We
have
the
two
separated
entry
sequence
that
will
be
the
residential
to
the
left
hand,
side
with
the
main
restaurant
entry
space
to
the
right
hand,
side
and
then
in
the
bottom
right.
AA
I
I
just
had
one
about
having
kitchen
space
in
the
basement,
presumably
that
meets
all
codes.
But
I've
always
wondered
when,
when
I've
been
to
restaurants,
where
there
are
downstairs
kitchens,
why
it
is
that
there
aren't
easier
ways
for
chefs
and
and
staff
to
get
the
food
to
the
eating
area
without
having
to
go
up
and
down
stairs,
and
I
wonder
whether
some
provision,
I
know
it's
a
very
minor
detail,
but
I
do
think
about
the
workers
here.
I
AA
The
answer
is
yes,
this
particular
case.
It's
not
the
kitchen
downstairs.
I
should
have
clarified
that
it's
more
storage
and
dry
storage
and
sort
of
aspects,
so
the
kitchen
will
be
upstairs.
This
is
more
support,
space,
probably
in
office
and
some
other
things.
But
your
point
is
well
taken.
We
do
do
a
lot
of
restaurant
work
and
some
of
our
a
lot
of
throughout
the
city
and
I'll
be
honest.
It's
it's
an
amazing
feat
that
restaurant
tours
go
into
some
of
the
craziest
spaces
and
they
really
make
them
work.
AA
So
it
is
something
that
we
think
about
when
we're
working
on
our
projects
in
the
city,
and
I
think
it's
something
that
I
commend
you
for
recognizing
that,
because
you
know,
I
think
it
is.
It
is
tough
and
but
I
think
that
we
find
that
restaurants,
you
know
they
they're.
Usually
it's
a
dream
that
they're
going
into
these
spaces
and
a
lot
of
times
they
don't
have
a
lot
of
money,
so
they're
trying
to
make
things
work,
but
it
is
something
that
we
do
consider
when
we're
designing
our
restaurants.
AA
B
Sorry,
chair
money,

Good
evening,
mr
weiss,
here,
members
of
the
board
director
goldman
secretary,
we're
here
before
you
this
evening,
to
discuss
the
inclusionary
development
policy
chain
proposed
at
500
talbot
avenue.
As
you
may
remember,
this
project
was
originally
approved
by
the
board
at
the
november
8
2018
meeting.
V
V
A
A
V
AC

Additionally,
two
of
the
units
would
be
rented
at
80
area
median
income
and
two
will
be
at
100
area
median
income.
One
of
the
100
affordable
units
will
be
built
out
as
an
accessible
unit
under
the
americans
with
disabilities
act.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.
I
again
urge
you
to
vote
in
favor
of
this
proposal
and
if
you
have
any
further
questions,
please.

eddie

AD
The
pda
staff
feel
this
is
an
appropriate
renewal
in
light
of
the
pandemic,
as
it
gives
wentworth
the
necessary
time
to
assess
its
own
campus
needs
and
then
engage
in
a
thoughtful
10-year
imp
review
process.
This
renewal
serves
as
an
update
to
wentworth's
operations
in
boston
and
previews.
Its
potential
future
plans.
The
wentworth
task
force
gathered
virtually
on
february
3rd
and
is
supportive
of
this
renewal.
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
dave
wahlstrom

vice
president
of
business,
to
go
through
the
presentation.
AD
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
monahan,
director
golden
and
members
of
the
board.
As
as
was
stated,
our
purpose
here
is
to
request
a
two-year
renewal
of
our
institutional
master
plan
which
expired
in
january
before
next
slide.
Please
thank
you
before
starting.
I
want
to
briefly
touch
on
the
goals
guiding
our
master
planning
efforts
and
how
these
goals
align
with
significant,
with
the
significant
role
that
the
community
plays
in
development
at
wentworth.
J
J
J
The
master
plan
master
plan
prior
to
this
excuse
me.
J
The
master
plan
prior
to
this,
what
became
a
residential
community
doubling
the
number
of
beds
to
1950.
J
Situated
between
several
tight-knit
and
densely
built
communities,
wentworth
sought
to
open
up
this
campus
to
its
neighbors,
both
the
physical
grounds
and
the
institution
of
higher
ed
via
scholarship
and
ramp
programs,
and
our
community
outreach
didn't
stop
during
the
pandemic.
In
fact,
we
continued
many
benefits,
such
as
scholarships
pipeline
programs
for
boston
youth,
strive,
workforce
development,
we've
had
6,
000
boston,
public
school
students
go
through
the
program
in
30
years,
and
the
maintenance
of
the
evans
way
park,
and
we've
been
involved
with
that
since
1980..
J
While
many
of
our
donations
are
connected
to
events,
events
have
been
cancelled.
We
worked
with
the
community
to
find
other
ways
to
contribute,
such
as
donating
grocery
store
gift
cards,
school
supplies,
as
well
as
furniture
for
local
students
attending
schools
remotely
and
when
our
neighbors
at
fort
at
69
mcgreevy
way
were
impacted
with
covert
19.
J
Live
wentworth
in
the
city
share
the
goal
of
moving
students
on
campus
and
wentworth
has
made
good
progress
in
the
last
10
years
and
will
continue
to
do
so
with
new
dorms
and
revitalization
of
existing
spaces
to
learn
what
was
strives
to
improve
and
appropriately
expand
its
programmatic
and
educational
options,
so
that
our

Thank
you
dude.
Before
your
questions.
I
have
a
comment.
I'm
in
my
40th
consecutive
year
in
building
construction,
trades
and
I'll
say
that
your
graduates
are
on
practically
every
construction
project.
I've
ever
been
on
both
as
interns
or
as
graduates,
and
you
you
graduate
the
skills.
They
have
the
skill,
the
attitude
and
behavior
the
three
that
necessary
to
succeed
in
any
visit.
But
you
turn
out
the
one
heck
of
a
graduate.
I
I'll
have
to
say
thank.
I
I
would
echo
what
was
just
said
and
add
to
that
that,
based
on
everything,
I've
seen
within
the
neighborhood
wentworth
has
also
been
very
civically
engaged
with
the
immediate
community
and
my
understanding
of
what
it
is
you're
trying
to
do
now
is
to
translate
your
new
strategic
plan
into
a
physical
plan
in
a
way
that
will
continue
to
provide
those
kinds
of
benefits.
I
So
I
think
giving
you
the
time
to
do
that
in
what
has
happened
with
covid
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
and
it
appears
that
you're
continuing
with
that
community-based
beneficial
commitment.
A
Very
good
any
further
questions.

Mr

V
Thank
you
again,
mr
vice
chair
members
of
the
board
director
golden
and
madam
secretary,
I'm
here
to
discuss
the
321
harrison
avenue
project.
As
you
may
remember
again,
this
project
was
approved
by
this
board
on
september
of
2016..
V
In
that
project,
the
developer
agreed
in
the
original
planned
development
area
to
create
10
454
square
feet
of
affordable
cultural
space
on
site,
as
required
under
the
zoning
5971
square
of
which
has
been
released
by
the
developer
to
the
new
england
foundation
for
the
arts.
Tonight,
I'd
like
to
ask
you
to
consider
a
buyout
of
the
remaining
400
sorry
4
483
square
feet
of
affordable
cultural
space
that
remains
unleashed
in
full
compliance
with
cooperation
group.
V
Funds
will
be
focused
on
the
eda
south,
with
the
option
to
expand
the
geography
to
the
neighboring
areas
of
the
south
end
in
order
to
achieve
the
desired
impact
and
spend
down
the
funds.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
consideration
on
this
project
and
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
need.
I
So
the
city
can
now
disburse
those
funds
to
neighborhood
organizations
around
the
city,
but
that
the
initial
commitment
to
using
that
entire
space
as
a
performance
venue
is
now
being
stepped
back
from
correct.
I
A
Think
that
was
a
question
nick,
because
that
that's
that's
being
presented
right.
Yes,.
V
I
would
turn
that
over
to
jonathan
greeley
to
answer
that.
AF
A
AG
A
Summarizing
what
the
motion
is
with
the
space
being
taken
over
by
the
developer
and
that
money
being
sent
to
different
groups
around
the
city,
so.
AG
It's
a
great
question:
the
under
the
underlying
zoning
through
which
this
project
was
permitted.
The
developer
has
an
option
to
buy
out
a
50
of
the
affordable
space
and
so
pretty
pandemic.
They
were
able
to
lease
that
space
to
a
non-profit
in
the
area,
and
then
they
have
moved
forward
with
the
option
to
buy
out
at
an
agreed-upon
amount
based
on
a
calculation
also
clearly
identified
in
the
zoning.
AG
AD
AE
George
jonathan,
mr
chairman,
todd
fremont
smith
with
north
bomb
company,
just
a
just
a
slight
clarification.
The
space
was
never
intended
per
se
to
be
performance,
arts
performance
space.
It
was
intended
to
be
affordable
cultural
space.
So
we
went
out
into
the
market
to
look
for
non-profits
that
were
in
the
arts
or
music
world
and
or
the
cultural
world,
and
we
did
successfully
locate
nifa
new
england
foundation
for
the
arts
and
and
nephi
was
looking
for
new
headquarters.
AE
So
we
did
did
a
turnkey
deal
and
built
out
their
space
for
them
and
installed
them
in
the
space
they're
very
happy
at
1000
washington.
But,
as
mr
greeley
indicated
in
the
post-covenant
environment
we
were.
We
were
unable
to
find
other
non-profits
to
fulfill
our
the
balance
of
our
commitment.
We
did
achieve
the
required
50
percent
on
site,
so
it
was.
AE
I
And,
and
by
local,
do
you
mean
south
end
only
or
are
you
expanding
that
scope
because
there's
been
a
bit
of
creep
in
terms
of
what
the
boundaries
of
the
south
end
are
and
when
it's
been
advantageous
for
some
people,
they've
called
parts
of
roxbury
the
south
end
and
when
it's
disadvantaged
disadvantages
they
don't
and
if,
as
I
understand,
these
funds
are
going
to
be
distributed
locally,
then
I
would
hope,
given
this
location,
that
that
would
also
include
areas
such
as
nubian
square
and
wadette
circle
and
other
arts
venues
that
are
not
very
far
away
from
this
particular
site.
AG
Member
lands
mark.
It's
it's
a
it's
an
excellent
question
and
I
would
just
respond
that
this
is
a
product
of
the
harrison
albany
zoning
district
as
such,
the
funds
are
intended
to
be
spent
in
that
district,
largely
anchored
by
the
corridor.
AG
In
the
south
end
between
harold
and
mass
ave
between
washington
street
down
to
albany
street,
the
funds
will
be
coordinated
and
spent
through
the
the
city's
arts
and
culture
department.
So
I
think
it's
a
fair
question
and
I
think
that
I
think
that
there's
probably
some
adjacencies
slightly
beyond
the
district
that
could
be
considered,
but
the
focus
really
is
the
harrison
albany
district
for
the
money
to
be
spent
in
in
support
of
auction
culture,
activities,
aspirations
etc.
Within
the
zoning
district.
I
Okay,
well,
I
I
hear
that,
and
I
guess
I
would
just
point
out,
having
been
involved
with
the
arts
for
a
long
time
and
and
once
upon
a
time
having
been
a
board
member
of
nifa,
which
is
a
wonderful
organization.
I
The
nubian
square
is
every
bit
as
close
to
this
location,
as
is
the
boston
center
for
the
arts,
and
I
I
would
hate
to
see
a
distribution
of
these
funds
for
areas
that
are
not
necessarily
as
close
as
other
areas
are
even
understanding
what
the
zoning
maps
and
our
own
maps
might
dictate.
So
understanding
that
I
would
certainly
hope
that
the
distribution
would
take
place
in
an
equitable
way.
AG
Member
lance
mark,
I
think,
that's
an
excellent
point.
I
think
we're
really
proud
of
the
collaboration
with
the
the
city's
arts
and
culture
team
and
and
the
work
they've
done
on
equity
inclusion.
AG
I
think
on
a
number
of
areas
throughout
the
walsh
administration,
but
also
recently,
and
so
I'm
quite
confident
that
they
will
have
that
lens
on
this
money
and
thinking
about
this
also
not
just
as
a
kind
of
one-time
financial
opportunity,
but
also
an
opportunity
to
disperse
funds
over
a
period
of
time
and
think
about
sustainability
of
arts
organizations
in
that
corridor.
AG
As
you
know,
that
quarter
has
a
rich
history
of
of
the
arts,
big,
a
arts
with
a
lot
of
different
things
in
that
corridor,
and
so
I
think,
as
that
corridor
has
evolved
over
time,
I
think
there's
been
some
challenges
for
organizations
headquartered
in
that
region.
So
I
think
I
think,
there's
a
there's
a
real
attempt
to
do
right
by
that
community
and
your
point
about
geography
and
adjacency
is
really
well
taken
and
those
comments
will
be
passed
along
to
the
city's
chief
of
arts
and
culture.
AG
A
Motion
maiden
seconded
roll
call
miss
downs
hi
dr
landsmark
aye,
mr
miller
aye,
and
I'm
voting
for
the
motion
item.
24
request
authorization
to
disperse
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
harvard
austin
public
realm
flexible
fund
to
the
boston
transportation
department
for
for
consultant
services
regarding
public
improvements
on
weston
avenue
and
to
enter
into
a
memorandum
of
agreement
with
said
entity
for
the
funds
gerald
walla.
AH
I
will
keep
this
brief
in
order
to
try
to
keep
your
public
hearing
schedule
on
on
target.
You
in
december
approved
a
slate
of
grants
from
the
harvard
flexible
fund
and
unfortunately,
at
the
time
we
weren't
aware
of
this
particular
need.
This
connects
to
the
western
avenue
porter
study
in
rezoning,
about
which
you'll
be
hearing
more
in
the
near
future.
One
component
of
that
is
to
propose
multi-modal
improvements
to
western
avenue,
and
we
are
working
hard
with
our
colleagues
in
the
boston
transportation
department
to
advance
that
design.
AH
One
thing
that's
missing
is
a
detailed
engineering
survey
of
the
corridor
and
and
unfortunately,
given
that
there's
no
active
capital
project
there,
yet
it
would
have
been
difficult
for
the
boston,
transportation,
department
or
public
works
to
come
up
with
the
funding
on
short
notice,
and
so
it
seemed
like
a
great
opportunity
to
use
the
flexible
fund,
which
is
there
to
supplement
available
sources
of
public
funding
flexibly,
as
the
name
suggests
in
nimbly,
in
order
to
fund
these
services.
So
we
will
work
with
our
colleagues.
AH
The
the
actual
amount
will
probably
be
closer
to
fifty
thousand
dollars,
we're
hoping
based
on
initial
estimates,
but
we're
requesting
actually
up
to
75
000.
The
the
agenda
item
wasn't
updated
in
time,
but
that
should
be
reflected
in
the
board
memo.
So
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
hopefully
that
that's
it
clear
exponent.
Thanks
for
asking.
Thank
you
joan.

I
want
to
briefly
review
the
site
context
and
community
process,
and
I
think
the
next
slide
may
show
the
actual
site
there
you
go
as
you've
heard,
there
will
be
166
home
ownership
units
and
214
rental
apartments,
with
an
overall
income
mix
of
one-third,
affordable,
one-third
middle
income
and
one-third
market.
So
buildings,
f-2
and
f-4
shown
up
at
the
top
along
lambert.
AF
AF
We
had
a
robust
community
process
which
began
in
november,
we've
collected
over
200
letters
of
support
and
in
response
to
conversations
with
neighbors
and
stakeholders
over
the
selection
of
a
partner
to
develop
the
f2
and
f4
buildings.
We
are
committing
to
continuing
and
extending
the
vetting
and
due
diligence
process
for
that
selection,
for
exploring
possible
joint
ventures
and
to
not
sign
a
purchase
and
sale
agreement
until
that
process
and
exploration
are
complete
and
now,
with
that
background,
here
is
cliff
bowmer
of
davis,
clear
architects
to
review
the
two
buildings.
Q
Q
We
can
flip
to
the
next
slide.
F2
f2
is
a
building
that
that
davis
square
architects
is
the
designer
of,
as
I
believe
dana
mentioned
already.
This
is
a
building
that
has
28
home
ownership
units.
Eight
of
them
are
three
bedroom
units.
20
of
them
are
two
bedroom
units
and
it
comes
at
the
lowest
level
of
the
building
includes
30
parking
spaces.
Q
This
is
in
the
south
west
corner
of
the
site.
It's
at
the
corner
of
lambert
and
guild
streets.
It's
the
highest
point
on
the
site.
What's
really
interesting
about
the
bartlett
site
is
there's
some
43
feet
of
great
change
from
that
southwest
corner
to
the
northeast
corner.
That
is
the
corner.
That's
closest
to
nubian
square.
Q
This,
as
I
said,
30
parking
space
is
28
units.
The
inspiration
for
the
design
of
this
building
comes
from
the
context.
The
original
master
plan
for
this
development
has
always
been
to
use
the
perimeter
of
the
site
other
than
on
washington
street,
for
home
ownership
opportunities
and
for
making
the
connection
with
the
the
architecture
of
the
that
close
more
closely
relates
to
the
neighborhood,
as
you
can
see
directly
across
the
street.
Q
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
I
think
yeah,
here's
some
of
the
contacts
to
the
far
left.
You
can
see
the
site
as
it
stands
now
again.
This
is
the
highest
point
on
the
site
and
looking
around
you
can
see
a
very
typical
type
of
architecture
there.
The
upper
left-hand
oval
drawing
shows
the
large
civic
building
across
the
street
along
lambert.
There
are
further
down
lambert,
the
wood
frame
buildings
and,
generally
speaking,
of
very
conventional
types
of
materials
for
this
neighborhood
we
can
go
to
the
next
one.
Q
This
describes
it's
an
interesting
site
because
we
provided
and
needed
to
provide
access
to
the
site
for
f2
from
three
different
directions.
On
the
lower
left-hand
side
is
the
closest
connection
for
people
coming
from
the
south
on
washington
street.
The
upper
upper
left
hand
corner
is
a
primary
entry
and
if
you
go
straight
up
guild
street
from
there
you're
going
towards
john
elliott
square
and
the
access
to
the
orange
line,
but
this
building
has
a
third
entry
off
of
the
new
l-shaped
road.
That
is
the
main
infrastructure
piece
for
the
entire
site.
Q
There's
a
diagonal,
accessible
walkway
that
makes
the
last
trip
up
from
that
55
foot
elevation
up
to
the
76
foot
elevation
and
we
provided
a
a
resident
entry
on
that
side
of
the
building
as
well.
That's
the
north
side
of
the
building
right
on
the
main
pedestrian
path
that
traverses
the
entire
bartlett
site
next
slide
are
just
some
of
the
images
of
renderings
of
the
building.
This
is
the
the
entry
at
the
highest
point
of
the
site
corner
of
guild
and
lambert.
The
bay
articulation
is
very
similar
to
the
context
across
the
street.
Q
The
next
image
we're
looking
at
a
number
of
renderings
from
this
point
forward.
This
is
looking
up
the
hill,
so
we're
down
near
the
washington
closer
to
washington
street,
so
you're
looking
west.
In
this
slide,
you
can
see
that
the
there's
one
entry
closest
for
autos
and
then
another
entry,
a
third
of
the
way
up
the
building
for
residents
and
then
the
entry
that
we
saw
before
is
all
the
way
up
at
the
end
of
the
building
at
the
top
of
the
hill
next
slide.
AI
Q
Q
Let's
keep
going
because
they
need
to
get
to
f4
a
bird's
eye
view
that
shows
you
large,
open
space,
programmable,
open
space,
that's
shared
by
f2
and
f3,
as
well
as
the
site
in
general,
moving
along
another
view
from
the
other
direction,
just
a
bird's
eye
view
from
higher
up
looking
at
that
southwest
corner
of
the
building
the
apartments
across
the
street
and
then
of
you
looking
down
through
that
large
open
space
that
connects
up
with
lambert
avenue
at
the
top
of
the
site.
Q
I
think
next
we're
probably
at
and
then
elevations
as
you
can
see,
there
are
four
residential
levels
and
then
a
parking
level
that,
by
the
time
you're
at
the
top
of
the
hill,
is,
is
fully
underground
parking
next
slide
f4.
I
am
not
the
architect
for
f4.
The
that's
dream
collaborative
is
the
architect
for
this
building
and
they
couldn't
make
it
tonight,
but
I
can
give
you
a
very
quick
run
through
of
that
as
well.
This
is
37
home
ownership
units,
six,
one
bedrooms,
twenty
two
bedrooms
and
six
three
bedrooms.
Q
It
has
some
kind
of
a
mirror
image
of
f2
with
an
entry
on
the
downhill
side
of
it
right
where
those
letters
f4
are
which
is
closest
to
nubian
square,
then
also
another
entry
closer
to
john
elliott
square.
At
the
high
point
of
the
building,
you
can
flip
to
the
next
slide.
The
existing
context
is
similar
as
far
as
materials,
but
the
context
is
a
little
more
broken
up
on
that
side
of
the
site.
The
buildings
are
smaller,
not
a
lot
of
coherent
architecture
which
was
part
of
the
inspiration
for
this
building.
Q
You
can
go
to
the
next
one.
Well,
there's
our
entry,
which,
as
I
said,
sort
of
the
mirror
image
for
f2
with
two
important
entry
points
this
one
because
of
the
the
where
the
parking
arrow
is.
Basically,
there
is
a
a
very
secondary
entry,
but
it
doesn't
really
have
that
kind
of
primary
facade
view
that
f2
did
from
the
from
the
main
site.
So
we
didn't
need
an
entry
at
that
location.
Q
A
next
slide,
so
the
as
I
was
saying,
the
the
context
is
very
different,
so
the
the
design
driver
on
this
building
was
to
both
climb
up
the
hill
climb
up
the
hill
with
the
massing
of
the
building.
The
parking
is
again
also
buried
in
this
for
most
of
the
length
of
this
building.
This
is
really,
I
think,
the
primary
entry
of
the
building,
but
the
massing
is
broken
up
into
smaller
pieces.
That's
more
reflective
of
the
smaller
buildings
that
are
the
existing
context
at
that
at
that
edge
of
the
site.
Q
Next
slide
just
another
view.
This
is
a
background
in
the
driveway
area,
looking
down
towards
the
driveway
again,
a
lot
of
articulation
very
nice
amenities,
balconies
for
the
homeowners
in
the
building
next
slide,
and
that's
looking
down
the
hill
towards
washington
street.
So
we're
up
at
the
the
highest
point
of
this
building
is
a
point:
that's
in
the
foreground.
Q
Next
slide
again!
So
now
some
aerial
views,
that's
lambert
avenue
to
the
that's
going
right,
left
and
then
to
the
left
is
the
bartlett
street
that
goes
right
down
to
washington
street.
You
can
see
a
lot
of
the
context
of
the
new
construction
along
with
existing
context.
That's
looking
aerial
view,
looking
at
the
main
entry
at
the
eastern
southeast
or
northeastern
corner
of
the
building
next
slide.
Q
This
is
looking
from
the
west,
almost
due
west,
looking
down
in
mainly
on
the
right
hand,
side
into
the
interior
of
the
of
what
would
be
the
fully
developed
bartlett
site,
even
though
most
of
what
you
see
has
in
that
particular
view
has
not
been
built.
Yet
this
explains
a
slightly
complicated
parking
program,
but
not
a
huge
interest.
Q
22
of
the
parking
spaces
are
within
the
footprint
of
f4,
but
three
spaces
are
in
the
f3
lot
and
seven
others
are
in
the
f5
lot
again
for
a
total
of
32
parking
spaces
for
this
development
and
there
you
can
see
that
four
same
idea
of
four
residential
levels.
It
drops
down
to
three
levels
at
the
main
entry
end
of
the
building
and
then
four
residential
levels
and
one
largely
subterranean
parking
level,
and
I
think
that
might
be
it
for
f4.
It
is,
and
I
apologize
for
going
longer
than
my
time.
That's.
Okay,
thanks
cliff.
A
Question
of
cliff
before
we
move
on
dana
is
the
in
the
buildings
you
were
by
the
architect
of
cliff.
Is
that
brick?
Is
that
a
veneer,
or?
Is
that
a
brick
that
a
bricklayer.
Q
AJ
A
A
B
AL
Good
evening,
yes
good
evening,
can
you
hear
me
yeah,
you're
great
great,
first
respect
to
the
board
the
chair,
the
secretary
and
all
the
board
members
and
everyone
in
attendance?
AL
As
you
said,
my
name's
mike
miles,
I'm
a
part
of
the
project
review
committee
and
have
been
since
the
inception
of
this
project.
In
fact,
I
was
part
of
the
roxbury
strategic
oversight,
master
plan
committee
as
the
first
chair
and
I'm
a
lifelong
resident
and
have
been
living
in
roxbury
for
90
percent
of
my
time
in
boston.
AL
This
project
has
been
a
long
journey
and
we're
at
a
point
where
we
really
want
to
move
forward
and,
as
you
saw
from
this
presentation,
the
building
design
and
the
home
ownership
sort
of
plan
is
really
about
the
opportunity
for
folks
in
the
community
they
have
a
wealth
generation
homeownership
opportunity,
as
well
as
to
revitalize
a
site-
that's
been
dormant
and
vacant
for
a
very
long
time
and
bring
activity
back
to
the
community
that
we
very
much
need
the
the
the
issue
around
this
project
that
has
circus
recently
about
the
partnerships
that
the
development
team
has
developed.
AL
Looking
to
move
forward
with.
I
think
david
addressed
that
with
respect
to
having
a
very
deep
vetting
process
around
that
partnership
and
making
sure
it's
appropriate
to
move
forward,
and
you
know
frankly,
I
believe
that
the
development
itself,
the
planning,
the
the
building
as
clip
just
outlined,
doesn't
change.
That's
really
about
a
partnership
that
will
make
the
financial
aspect
of
this
project
move
forward.
AL
So
in
that
regard,
I
think
that's
an
appropriate
action
for
the
development
team
to
take,
since
they
have
not
been
able
to
secure
the
ability
to
do
that
on
their
own
they're
looking
for
assistance
and
it
doesn't
change
the
actual
development
plan.
So
what
the
community's
vision
was
for
this
project
remains
the
same
and
will
be
sustained
through
the
p
s
agreement
with
that
partner,
so
that
we
get
what
we
actually
envisioned
for
the
site.
AL
You
know
what
people
say
about
partners
are
one
thing,
but
what
they
deliver
is
another,
and
I
think
that
we
should
really
be
you
know,
sort
of
keen
on
moving
this
project
forward.
So
thank
you
for
the
stop
sign
I'll
stop
there,
but
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
in
a
and
supportive
moving
forward.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
mike.
A
AM
Okay,
thank
you.
One
of
the
questions
that
I
had
was
about.
If
I'm
coming
to
visit
my
grandmother
who
stays
in
the
elders
building,
what
does
that
mean
as
far
as
parking
residential
parking
stickers,
they
just
do
a
sign
up
on
forest
street
for
residential
stickers
and
didn't
inform
us,
so
I
just
want
to
know
what
does
this
look
like
as
far
as
coming
to
visit
or
being
a
part
of
the
neighborhood.
A
Thank
you,
taylor,
I'm
not
sure
who's
best
to
answer
that
question
dana,
but
I
imagine
the
public
streets
of
public
streets
but
parking
lots
of
private
property
and
there
won't
be
any
resident
parking
on
on
the
private
property.
A
AI
Mr
vice
chair,
I
was
I
kept
myself
on
me
because
our
clock
was
going
off
and
I
didn't
expect
my
senses
david.
If
you
and
or
cliff,
could
respond
to
that
question.
What
I
would
say,
though,
just
from
a
general
standpoint
and
taylor,
it's
a
very
valid
question.
The
the
the
parking
that
is
being
referenced
in
this
action
tonight
is
in
relation
to
the
buildings
themselves,
and
so
the
the
parking
spots
are
going
to
be
associated
again.
AI
These
are
condos,
so
the
residents
who
own
the
who
are
living
in
the
condos
and
our
owners
will
likely
have
first
access
for
lack
of
a
better
term
to
those
spots.
Q
All
along
the
stretch
of
of
lambert
avenue
and
along
washington
street,
the
master
plan
gave
up
a
strip
of
of
land
moved
all
the
buildings
in
further
in
order
to
provide
well
as
well
as
bartlett
station
drive
the
l-shaped
road
that
winds
through
the
site
itself.
Those
are
all
public
parking
spaces,
so
the
development
of
the
site.
I'm
sorry,
I
don't
have
the
number-
I'm
not
civil
engineer,
but
we
provided
many
spaces
where
they
didn't
exist
before
I've
been
giving
up
site
area
for
it.

There
has
been
a
fantastic
community
process
in
planning
this
project,
as
illustrated
on
this
call
tonight,
and
we
are
also
very
pleased
on
the
commitment
to
filling
over
sixty
percent

sixty

Excuse
me,
co-owner
of

team,
dj's,
local
boston,
business
and
I
call
in
support
of
the
development
going
on
over
at
bartlett
yard,
is
a
lot
of
businesses
throughout
the
years
that
nuestra
and
wendell
have
supported,
and
so
looking
at
their
future
plans
and
and
what
they
intend
to
do
to
help
the
community
to
bring
in
more
employment
as
well
as
overall,
more
housing
to
the

helping

Good
evening
secretary,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
poor
mino
perez
on
behalf
of
the
carpenters
union,
I
want
to
go
on
record
and
support
of
this
project.
I
will
congratulate
the
developer
for
doing
a
good
job
for
being
civic
engaged.
I
also
I
understand,
affordable
housing
is
very
needed
in
the
city.
At
this
moment.
I
just
want
to
echo
the
careers
opportunity.
We
definitely
want
to
see
good
contractors
or
build
this
project
where
revenues
are
going
back
into
the
system,
so
we
can
create
more
affordable
housing.
AP
Also,
we
have
many
members,
many
apprentices
that
can
go
and
work
and
enhance
their
career.
It's
a
great
opportunity
to
start
a
career.
Hopefully
there
will
be
no
people
going
to
this
project
working
and
then
after
the
breaks,
then
they're
gone
and
they're
missing
out
on
a
great
career
opportunity
to
be
able
to
retire
with
good
pensions
and
health
benefits.

Vincent

go
ahead

AQ
Hey
thank
you
chairman,
and
to
the
board,
and
especially
to
the
developer
on
putting
more
housing
in
the
city
of
boston.
I
hope
you,
you
know
are
entertained
a
general
contractor
who
supports
community
standards
in
the
city
of
boston,
awesome,
awesome
plan.
I
know
b
and
e
project.
There
were
some
companies
in
there
that
weren't
following
the
boston,
the
boston
plan
and
sitting
in
these
these
vet
commissions
that
follow
the
employment
of
the
project.
AQ
Some
of
these
projects,
some
of
these
contractors
on
site,
didn't
support
the
boston
plan.
They
had
bad
numbers,
zero
females
on
with
one
contractor
very,
very
minute,
members
of
the
city
of
boston,
I
just
hope,
support
use,
a
general
contractor
that
supports
community
standards
and
a
living
wage.
AQ
It's
a
it's!
A
nice
nice
spot.
Our
members
drive
back.
You've,
heard
the
confidence,
the
electricians
we
have,
members
that
live
in
the
city
of
boston
and
they're,
driving
down
washington
street,
and
they
call
the
hall.
You
know
asking
about
the
project
and
come
to
find
out
that
they
find
out
that
we're
not
on
the
project
so
hoping
that
you
support
the
building
trades,
who
support
the
community
standards
and
the
boston
plan
in
the
city
of
boston.
AQ
A
Thank
you,
vinnie.
I'm
gonna
use
this
opportunity
dana,
I
don't
think
the
developer.
I
know
cliff
you're,
the
architect,
but
the
actual
developer,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
developers
on
this
participating
but
I'll
just
ask
the
question.
I
guess
and
I'd
be
curious
sometime
getting
the
answer
from
that
developer.
A
In,
as
the
three
speakers
just
spoke,
we
see
in
construction
a
lot
people
might
try
and
meet
certain
numbers
that
they're
required
to
do
in
the
in
the
unorganized
sector.
You
find
people
get
paid
differently
with
the
same
skill
level,
so
I
would
ask
the
developer,
regardless
of
race
divide,
regardless
of
gender
people
have
the
same
skills.
Will
they
be
paid
the
same,
so
basically
an
easier
way
to
say?
Well,
women
and
men
be
paid
the
same
well.
A
White
and
colored
people
be
paid
the
same
farming,
the
same
jobs,
and
I
would
hope
so
and
that
you
know
moving.
I
I
can
wait
for
that
answer,
but
that's
not
as
much
a
question.
I
guess
it's
much
of
a
comment
and
I
would
hope
that
that
would
be
the
case.
AI
Mr
monahan,
I
would
just
to
interject,
if
you
don't
mind
me
doing
this
right
now,
cdc
and
window
are
the
developers
for
this
site.
They
are
the
landowners
that
they
would
be
responsible
for,
for
that
particular
piece
and
the
the
the
sense
also
is
given
your
your
statement
that
whoever
should
wester
edwin
deal
decide
to
bring
on
a
partner
that
they
would.
That
partner
would
also
adhere
to
those
standards,
but
right
now,
for
tonight's
purposes,
for
the
vote,
nuestra
and
wendell
are
the
developer
because
they
are
the
site
owner.
AI
B
AR
Yes,
good
evening,
thank
you
to
the
board.
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
I
am
a
resident
here
in
the
area
and
I
am
here
to
support
the
project.
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
introduce
more
home
ownership
into
the
community
and
also,
as
you
know,
affordable
housing
there's
a
housing
crisis
going
on,
so
I
think
it'd
be
pretty
awesome
to
have
some
additional
units
and
and
also
to
support
the
local
businesses
here
in
the
area.
AR
I
hope
to
see
more
and
black
and
brown
folks
out
there
on
the
project.
So
I
do
support
the
project,
a
great
job
to
the
architect.
AS
How
are
you
doing
good
evening?
Everybody,
I'm
a
local
minority
contractor,
and
I
did
work
recently
and
had
the
job
in
building
e.
I've
done
work
over
there.
Building
e
for
arnold
johnson
he's
a
great
guy
to
work
with,
and
also
currently
I'm
doing,
work
in
building
b
commercial
space
ongoing
right
now
and
often
we
do
hire
kids
from
trade
schools,
youth,
build
boston
to
work
with
us
on
the
job
and
build
an
e.
We
did
have
kids
there
from
trade
schools
working
over
there
from
youthful
boston.
AS
We
also
get
kids
from
madison
park
as
well
to
work
on
the
site
with
us
and
with
the
kids
do
good.
We
keep
the
kids
and
we
give
them
jobs,
and
I
totally
support
this
project.
That's
going
on
at
the
bottom
over
there,
it's
a
great
project,
and
I
think
it's
good
for
local
businesses
in
the
community
to
give
them
work
and
keep
them
busy,
and
I
support
the
project
100.
AS
G
AT
Okay,
just
again,
as
my
antoine
mike
stated,
I'm
in
support
of
project
the
revitalization
of
the
site,
I
have
lived
in
any
bin
and
also
attended
high
school
and
looking
just
is
a
revitalization
of
the
neighborhood.
I
am
in
full
support.
I
also
off
the
that
the
process
and
the
responses
and
the
number
of
letters
of
support
in
for
this
project
is
I'm
deeply
encouraged.
AT
I
also
I'm
happy
to
see
that
a
third,
a
third
is
it
in
there,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
am
in
support
of
it
and
as
a
female
worker
who
is
a
business
owner
in
the
community.
I
look
forward
to
seeing
this
great
project
continue
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
B
You
miles,
are
you,
are
you
sorry?
I
did
a
poor
job
with
your
last
name
miles.
AU
Good
evening,
chairman
and
all
the
members
of
the
board
miles,
yamu,
I'm
a
local
contractor
in
dorchester.
I
work
in
a
community
and
I
support
this
project.
If
one
day
development
is
doing
it,
you
know
maybe
80
90
of
the
contractors
on
that
job
is
going
to
be
minorities,
you
know
and
the
workers
are
going
to
be
minorities,
so
that
is
a
big
reason
to
support
this
project.
AV
Just
to
be
clear,
I
heard
earlier
on
that
the
developer
has
agreed
to
thoroughly
vet
the
potential
partner
for
this
project
and,
since
we've
heard
from
them
several
times
that
they
have
currently
thoroughly
vetted
the
proposed
partner,
and
they
did
not
find
all
the
issues
that
we
found
at
the
community
just
wanted
to
verify
that
this
partner
is
now
after
we
found
150
000,
they
owed
to
the
taxes
for
the
city
and
they
had
more
taxes
on
employment
taxes.
They
haven't
paid
and
not
fiscally
responsible.
AV
Does
this
then
make
them
no
longer
a
viable
partner
for
the
project
since
we're
finding
that
there's
a
lot
of
history
of
this
partner
that
may
not
have
been
known
in
the
community
is
concerned
about
also
the
workmanship
that
has
been
questioned,
just
verifying
that
this
partner
is
no
longer
being
considered
because
of
all
the
things
that
we
brought
to
their.
AF
Dana
you
want
me
to
restate
what
our
answer
was
yeah,
please
thank
you.
So
we
we're
committed
to
continuing
and
extending
the
vetting
and
due
diligence
process
for
the
developer
we've
been
talking
with
and
to
explore
possible
joint
ventures
and
to
not
sign
a
persian
sale
until
that
process
and
exploration
are
complete.
AF
So
we
we're
committed
to
continuing
a
process
and
considering
all
the
issues
and
comments,
not
ending
a
process
now.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
david.
I
I
understand
the
you
know
mentioned
any
names
or
anything,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
person
that
spoke
is
very
well
aware
of
a
potential
partner,
and
I
think
maybe
you
are,
are
you
people
talking
about
the
same
partner?
Yes,.
U
Yeah
good
evening,
everybody
I
have
been
listening
to
everybody
that
is
in
support
of
this
project,
including
one
of
the
members
of
the
project
review
committee,
and
I
have
an
objection
to
this
project
as
it's
been
outlined,
especially
when
it
comes
to
the
permanent
jobs
that
are
supposed
to
be
on
the
project,
and
I
would
like
to
also
have
someone
clarify
outside
of
people
purchasing
a
home.
What
the
wealth
building
is
on
this
project.
U
We
have
been
promised
for
a
number
of
years
that
there
would
be
commercial
or
retail
at
this
project.
U
Thus
far,
we
have
been
told
that
there
will
be
a
school
that
is
scheduled
to
open
a
grocery
store
that
is
supposed
to
be
coming
to
this
particular
site
and
over
with
for
the
past
five
years,
there
has
been
no
business
development
at
this
project
and
in
order
for
roxbury
to
collide,
there
has
to
be
on
each
and
every
construction
site
when
they,
when
they
submit
their
proposal.
U
They
have
to
live
up
to
the
contrast
of
that
proposal
so
that
there
is
business
development
on
the
site
and,
in
addition
I
want
to
this
is
outside
of
the
the
business
aspect.
I
have
to
make
a
complaint
about
mr
monaghan,
referring
to
people
as
colored
people
that.
W
U
Insulting
that,
in
this
day
and
age,
people
of
color
are
referred
to
as
colored
people
rather
than
their
ethnicity,
ethnicity,
in
terms
of
their
cultural
heritage
and
not
on
the
fact
that
they
may
have
melanin
in
their
skin.
A
Well,
ma'am,
I
please
accept
my
apology.
I
meant
no
harm
by
it
and
and
I'm
sorry
I'll
make
a
note
of
not
to
do
that
again.
I'm
sorry.
B
AW
It
has
been
going
on
for
a
very
long
time,
and
I
think
that
we're
finally
at
a
point
where
we
are
ready
to
begin
putting
this
together
and
capping
it
off,
so
I'm
excited
to
bring
people
to
this
site
and
bring
more
bodies
to
nubian
square.
AW
They
have
been
committed
to
this
community
for
many
many
years
building
housing,
but
also
bringing
amenities
to
nubian
square,
such
as
dudley
cafe
in
other
parts
of
the
city,
so
as
a
resident
of
nubian
square.
I'm
excited
about
this
project
and
I'm
very
comfortable
with
both
sets
of
teams
that
are
currently
looking
at
this
at
this
project.
Thank
you,
excellent.
Thank
you.
Brian.
A
AK
AX
AR
AX
Okay,
great
bubble,
because
hello,
hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
great
okay,
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
many
of
those
who
are
in
this
in
support
of
this
project
are
living
in
a
bubble
because
they
do
not
under
attend
neighborhood
association
meetings
and
they
have
not
done
their
homework
on
the
tactics
that
are
being
used
on
these
and
many
other
projects
that
proclaim.
AX
AX
The
mayor
has
stated
that
institutional
racism
will
be
addressed
and
this
process
is
not
in
line
with
that
statement.
Roxbury
residents
will
not
build
wealth
if
they
will
not
get
preferences
and
that's
a
fact.
The
board
needs
to
recognize
this
white
privilege
which
blinds
them
from
understanding
what
is
really
happening
here.
So
I
propose
that
we
really
think
about.
I
know
it's
been
a
long
process.
AX
So
I
am
the
president
of
pleasant
forest
and
vine
and
he
has
about
130.
You
can
just
david.
Let
them
know
how
many
units
you
have
in
our
our
neighborhood,
our
catchment
area,
but
we've
had
continual
problems
with
you
and
your
properties
and
you're,
not
caring
about
real
community
and
true
community.
You
want
to
make
sure
that
people
who
live
in
your
residences
are
hope,
beholding
to
you
and
not
the
community.
AX
AX
AY
AY
The
purpose
of
me,
I'm
talking
tonight,
is
I'm
echoing.
AG
Yeah,
if
you
just
shut
off
your
audio
yeah
there,
you
go.
AY
Okay,
okay,
the
purpose
of
me
am
I
still
echoing
yeah.
Okay,
should.
AG
I
shut
it
off
my
up
on
my
phone.
I
think,
if
you
just
shut
off
this,
I'm
actually
not
sure
how
you're
dialed
in,
but
just
do
your
best.
That's
okay,
right.
AG
AY
A
little
bit
better
already,
okay,
my
name
is
renee
taylor
and
I've
been
a
small
business
in
the
roxbury
area
for
10
years,
my
office
is
operated
less
than
a
mile
from
the
shop.
What
I
want
to
do
is
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
this
job,
this
facility,
what
it
has
done.
I've
been
in
these
fire
protection
arenas
over
30
years,
I've
been
on.
I
was
a
union
contractor
up
until
2012.
AY
Now,
I'm
open
shop,
but
by
having
this
development,
what
nuestro
and
wendell
development
did
it's
given
me
an
opportunity
to
be
a
prime
player?
Now
I
have
presently,
I
have
a
small
business.
I
have
12,
I'm
employees,
six
frankfurt
fitters.
AY
Eighty
percent
of
my
sprinkler
fitters
are
people
that
live
in
this
community
and
they're
growing,
and
I
really
think
that
you
know
without
having
people
like
nuestra
and
wendell,
I
wouldn't
be
where
I'm
at
today
and
then
the
other
thing
I
need
to
talk
to
you
about
is
the
developer
before
all
this
happened.
AY
This
developer
gave
me
a
chance
to
perform
and
execute
what
I
can
do
so
without
you
know,
without
the
dude
he
he
hired
me
as
a
contractor,
not
a
woman
to
perform,
and
I
did
it.
So.
I
really
think
what
nuestra
and
wendell
did
is
make
it
possible
for
small
minority
contract
to
build
a
resume
about
succeeding.
So
it's
really
important
to
hopefully
with
other
future
jobs
that
they
can
embrace
and
help
bloom
small
contractors.
AY
You
know
I
did
building
b,
that
was
60
units.
I
did
the
other
building
up
on
the
hill
and
I
got
awarded
to
do
building
a
so
solomon.
I
mean
the
people
that
are
here.
They
really
enforce
supporting
small
businesses.
So
you
know
I
testify
it's
a
really
good
opportunity,
and
so
you
know
the
developer.
That's
potentially
working.
U
B
Title
team
djs
has
their
hand
up,
but
they've
already
testified
and
other
than
that
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
up.
Anyone
else
would
like
to
testify
this
evening
either
in
support
or
an
opposition.
Now
is
the
last
opportunity
to
do
so.
B
AZ
AZ
Yeah,
thank
you
good
evening.
Everyone
committee
members,
chairperson,
my
name,
is
gregory
duarte
and
I'm
a
lifelong
resident
of
roxbury,
I'm
a
retired
educator
and
I
want
to
say
I
wholeheartedly
endorse
this
project
without
reservation
because
of
the
obvious
and
much
needed
economic
and
social
benefits
for
the
community,
there's
an
urgent
need
for
jobs,
quality,
housing
and
home
ownership,
and
just
overall
vital
economic
activity
that
the
project
would
would
provide.
AZ
AZ
I
remember
when
that
that
place
was
a
a
barnyard
for
for
years
and
there
was
the
hell
over
top,
and
you
know
there
was
development
in
that
area,
but
it's
been
in
a
transitional
state
for
some
time
now
and-
and
I
think
this
project
has
been
up
in
the
air-
I
think
that
the
community
would
benefit
from
it.
AZ
The
subs
and
just
individuals
in
terms
of
employment
and
just
a
moral
boosting
from
from
this,
so
I
I
I
support
it
without
hesitation
and
on
behalf
of
windale
crosslinds
and
nuestra.
I've
only
seen
him
do
positive
things
in
the
in
the
in
this
community
over
the
the
time
that
they
come
into
fruition.
So
again,
I
support
it
and
I
look
forward
to
it
being
underway.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

Great
these,
this
is
just
a
series
of
letters
that
have
come
in
that
again,
I'm
going
to
read
it
to
the

as
part
of
the
public
hearing.
The
first
is
from
betty
tony
dear
madam
chairwoman,
rojas
on
march
4th
2021,
the
roxbury
wood
council
and
roxburg
united
neighborhoods
held
a
community
meeting
with
55
attendees.
The
purpose
was
to
allow
the
developers
of
department
station
and
the
potential
investor
someone
charbed
shantae
acquisitions
to
respond
to
the
complaints,
concerns
and
questions
of
rotary
investments
requiring
residence.
AI
Mythologies
residents
were
disappointed
and
angered
when
mr
and
mrs
chaudhary
did
not
provide
substantive
answers
and
the
current
developers
appeared
dismissive
of
trouble
of
troubling
shanti's
questionable
business
practices.
The
first
set
of
questions
focused
on
process
and
practice
is
the
second
set
focused
on
approach
and
attitude.
Both
sets
are
critical
to
community
engagement,
safety
and
welfare.
All
are
elements
embodied
in
the
roxbury
master
plan
and
article
50..
These
documents
developed
by
roxbury
residents
and
past
mayoral
administrations
were
were
to
prevent
unscrupulous
and
profiteering
builders
to
devastate

The

express
opposition
to

AI
There
are
many
complaints
about
this
project,
including
that
the
letters
were
not
notified
when
there
was
often
limited
services
or
organized
about
our
meetings.
The
lack
of
notification
by
the
development
caused
two
of
other
meetings
to
be
scheduled,
lack
of
notice,
has
happened
on
more
than
one
shanti
project.
AI
That
was
a
secretary.
This
letter
is
fairly
long.
I
can
read
the
fully
think
full
content
into
the
record,
but
the
essence
of
the
letter
is
in
the
paragraph
that
I
just
read.
I
can
continue
or
can
pass
it
forward
to
it.
It's
been
received
by
the
board
already.
B
So
if
it's,
if
it
is
materially
similar
to
the
one
that
you
just
read,
I'm
okay
with
you
sharing

name;
yes,
otherwise
you
can
read

There
are
dozens
of

similar
to

street
project,
with
new
condominiums
constructed
behind
an
existing
historic
house
with
robbery
access
available
to
all
the
condo
owners.
Instead
of
following
a
more
conventional
approach,
this
shanti
project
was
subdivided
using
an
unsafe
pathway
to
copeland
street
instead
of
the
largest
safe,
existing
driveway
behind
63
fahren
street.
As
the
entry
to
all
the
condos,
the
copeland

pathway
is
a
very
narrow
and
will
not
allow

One
would
expect
that

deny
a

discussed

prior

stop
there.
AI
Is
from
representatives
china,
tyler
on
behalf
of
the
constituents
of
the
seventh
suffolk
district
and
the
community
leaders
who
continue
to
express
ongoing
concerns,

I
am
concerned
about
the
lack
of

Because
of
that,
I
urge
you
to
pause
on
this

and
consider
requesting
the
proper
due
diligence
from
nordstrom
cdc

be
held

same

as
we
hold
those
who
apply

with

I'm
concerned
that
the
serious
legal

were
overlooked.
Secondly,
I
would
like
to
see
more
collaborative
efforts
to
help
grow,
the
portfolio
of
black
latino
and
developers
of
color.
I'm
seeing
a
pattern
of
many
developers
who
value
relationships
within
our
community
being
overlooked.
Oftentimes.
AI
I
hear
that
it
is
because
they
don't
have
the
capacity
to
complete
the
project
at
hand.
This
project
is
a
flagship
project
that
can
help
combat
that
issue.
So
I
hope
that
there
is
a
second
look
taken
at
how
and
wester
can
partner
with
more
than
one
developer,
to
help
address
this
issue.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
consideration
and
I
look
forward
to
helping
build
a
great
community
in
bartlett
station.
Again,
that's
from
representative
china,
tyler
and
those
are
the
letters
that
I
have.
A
Is
there
any
questions?
Further
questions
of
dana
of
the
developers.
I
My
understanding
is
that
one
of
the
buildings
is
going
to
be
designed
by
the
dream,
collaborative,
which
is
one
of
the
few
design
firms
in
this
part
of
the
world
where
a
majority
of
the
principals,
as
far
as
I
know,
are
people
of
color
and
women,
and
I
don't
understand
why
they're
not
here.
Why
aren't
they
here.
A
AI
AF
It's
my
understanding
that
they're
out
making
presentations
at
other
meetings
they're
obligated
to
be,
and
that
that's
that's
my
understanding
that
that
they
are
valuable
parts
of
this
proposal,
they're,
actually
the
architects
on
another
building
at
bartlett,
but
like
a
lot
of
up-and-coming
companies,
they're
they're
busy,
and
that
that's
our
understanding
as
to
why
they're
not
here
tonight.
I
Right
they
may
be
busy,
but
they're
they're,
not
a
tiny,
firm
they've
got
about
20
people
working
there,
so
I
just
don't
understand
why,
when
there's
an
opportunity
to
have
them
step
forward
to
shine
in
this
context,
they're
not
here,
and
what
that
leads
me
to
wonder
is
why
it
is
that
so
many
of
the
details
of
this
project
are
actually
being
presented
to
us
by
community
people.
Who've
done
clearly
a
fair
amount
of
due
diligence
on
this,
rather
than
being
presented
by
you
folks.
AF
But,
as
you've
heard,
there's
a
difference
of
opinion
in
the
community
and
we
think
that
when
people
have
all
the
information
they'll,
we
we're
hopeful
they'll
end
up
supporting
the
project.
Well,.
I
The
difference
of
differences
of
opinion
are
are
not
uncommon
in
this
process,
but
they're
usually
resolved
through
negotiations,
and
that's
why,
when
this
matter
was
on
our
agenda
a
month
ago,
we
decided
to
table
it,
which
we
don't
do
very
often,
because
it
was
our
impression
that
good
faith
negotiations
would
then
take
place
between
the
community
and
the
development
team
and
now
we're
at
a
point
where
we
have
a
letter
from
the
state
representative
saying
that
that,
on
behalf
of
her
constituents,
she's
not
satisfied
that
those
negotiations
not
so
much
haven't,
been
resolved,
but
but
that
they
don't
seem
to
be
producing
and
the
kinds
of
outcomes
that
that
are
acceptable
to
the
community.
I
And
I
I
lived
a
few
blocks
from
here
for
several
years
on
morley
street.
So
I
know
the
site.
I
know
what
you've
been
through
in
terms
of
getting
this
developed
and
there's
no
one
on
this
board.
Who
is
prepared,
I
think,
to
vote
against
home
ownership
and
affordable
housing
mixed
in
with
market
rate
housing
in
nubian
square.
At
this
point.
I
But
I
for
one
find
it
very
troubling
that
key
elements
like
who
your
partner
is
haven't
been
disclosed
by
you,
but
have
been
disclosed
by
the
community
and
and
that
the
community's
disclosure
raises
questions.
I
I
don't
know
how
substantive
those
objections
are
because
we
haven't
heard,
but
I
do
find
it
very
troubling
that
issues
around
financial
viability,
sustainability
of
the
buildings
track
record
in
terms
of
employment
and
hiring
still
haven't
been
resolved
in
a
way
where
our
state
rep
sends
us
a
letter
saying
that
that
further
questions
need
to
be
resolved.
So
my
question
to
you
is:
is
this
a
program
as
much
as
we
want
this
housing
to
take
place
where
it
is?
W
AF
Would
say,
certainly
the
program
is
right
for
a
vote,
that
the
program
is
going
to
happen,
regardless
of
who
the
developer
is.
We've
agreed
to
continue
the
vetting
process.
We
did
disclose
the
developers
starting
back
in
november,
so
we've
been
as
transparent
as
possible.
This
is
not
new
information
to
the
community
and
I
think
we
just
have
to
process
the
information
and
our
is
more
but
the
pro
we
really
need.
AF
The
program
approved
tonight
and
we've
agreed
to
extend
the
process
for
discussing
the
developer,
with
the
community
and
and
to
address
the
state
representatives
concerns.
A
AI
None
was
the
pleasure,
I
I'm
sorry,
mr
monham,
for
the
interruption.
Madam
secretary,
please
correct
me.
If
I
I'm
miss
stating
there
is
a.
There
are
a
number
of
letters
that
were
sent.
AI
There
were
form
letters,
the
the
the
context
which
I'd
like
to
read
into
the
record
and
just
articulate
that
we
had
well
over
100
names
who
submitted.
B
And
before
you
start,
I
just
I
wanna,
there
are
a
number
of
people.
Who've
raised
their
hands.
Public
testimony
has
has
been
completed
just
so
that
everybody's
aware
go
ahead.
Dana.
AI
So
the
letter,
as
submitted
by
a
number
of
individuals
reads,
my
name
is
name
residing
at
address,
given
I'm
writing
to
express
my
support
for
the
development
of
lots,
f2
and
f4
at
barton
station
proposed
by
in
western
community
dodd
and
winded
windale
developers.
AI
I'm
also
writing
to
express
my
support
for
someone
chaudhary
and
your
care
begun
to
acquisition
as
a
developer,
who
will
acquire
lots,
f2
and
f4
and
execute
the
master
plan
for
arnold
station
as
roxbury
residents
themselves
and
the
owners
of
operators
of
dublin
cafe
and
shanti.
Restaurants,
solemn
and
rakia
are
not
only
personally
invested
in
the
success
and
vitality
of
nubian
square,
but
also
have
a
strong
track
record
of
responsible
business
ownership
and
job
creation
for
local
residents
of
color
through
the
development
and
preservation
of
housing.
C
I
I
Real
due
diligence
and
real
conversations
that
don't
put
this
board
in
a
position
where
it
has
to
vote
against
the
kind
of
community
opposition
that
we're
seeing
to
this
project.
AI
Just
wanted
to
maybe
reiterate
that
and
and
clarify,
because
that
that
that
seems
to
be
within.
I
think
that
the
purview
of
of
of
where
we
are
now.
A
I
personally
don't
see
much
change,
I'm
not
aware
of
any
outstanding
questions.
I
think
they've
addressed
them
between
the
zba
and
the
bra.
I
have
over
20
years
experience
where
there's
certain
projects
that
are
never
going
to
meet
certain
people's
satisfaction
and
the
project
is
before
us.
We've
untabled
it
just
earlier,
and
my
personal
opinion
is.
I
think
discussions
can
still
continue,
but
we
can
vote
tonight
to
move
this
project
forward.
It
doesn't
mean
discussion
stopped.
AI
What
I
would
what
I
would
also
write-
my
apologies,
mr
monahan,
for
what
I
would
also
reiterate
is
that
the
development
team
has
articulated
a
commitment
to
the
representative
to
not
move
forward
with
any
agreements
until
such
time
with
a
potential
partner
until
such
time
as
they
have
resolved
and
answered
issues
around
due
diligence
looking
at
feasibility
and
also
considering
aspects
of
a
potential
joint
venture.
So
the
project
program
itself,
regardless
of
who
the
development
partner,
is,
would
move
forward,
but
the
it
is.
AI
I
A
Second
motion

in

I'm

the
motion
passes.
Thank

from
what
I
understand
before
we
take
into
the
development
piece
of
the
next
project.
Counselor,
bark
and
council
flaherty.
I
believe

we'll
take

out
of

at
this
point
so
theresa
or
jonathan,

yeah.
C
A
For
the
record,
mr
miller
is
recusing
himself.
BA
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Thank
you
vice
chair
and
director
golden.
With
your
permission,
may
I
speak
on
number
15
and
also
on
the
beacon
project
relating
to
the
pine
street
end.
Certainly,
okay.
Thank
you
on
on
project
number
15,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
myself
and
council,
michael
flaherty,
I'm
here
to
voice
my
support
for
the
notice
of
project
change
for
the
proposed
development
at
the
ray
flynn
marine
park.
BA
This
project
is
important
for
the
economic
prospect
of
the
flynn
marine
park,
as
it
will
bring
businesses
activities
in
well-paying
jobs
in
the
area,
making
the
area
more
prosperous
and
attractive.
This
npc
would
still
allow
the
development
to
be
suitable
for
the
marine
industrial
designation
for
the
site
and
allow
the
project
to
move
forward.
BA
I
hope
that
the
bpda
will
consider
approving
this
npc.
Thank
you,
mr
chair
and
mr
chair,
may
I
continue
on
the
the
pine
street
end
project.
Please
do
okay!
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
again
vice
chair
and
director
golden
I'm
in
writing.
I'm
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
the
beacon
companies
proposal,
this
historic
ymca
boston
property,
which
will
maintain
a
mix
of
residential
commercial
educational,
cultural
use
on
the
site,
including
the
well-loved
theater.
BA
The
plan
also
includes
covering
the
66
room
hotel
in
118
apartments
into
212,
affordable
studio
in
one
bedroom
apartment
in
partnership
with
the
pine
street
inn
as
a
service
provider,
the
proposed
project
will
serve
111,
formerly
homeless,
households
with
heavily
serviced
enriched
programs,
in
addition
to
beacon
residential
management,
health
and
wellness
program
and
services
beacon
in
the
proposed
service.
Enriched
housing
will
help
achieve
significant
progress
toward
key
city
and
state
goals
of
expanding
service,
enriched
housing
options
for
bostonians,
preserving
city
institutions
in
manufacturing,
diversity
in
the
back
bay
area
in
co.
BA
In
the
context
of
covet
19,
this
development
will
also
address
housing
needs
for
those
most
vulnerable
being
impacted
by
the
on
ongoing
pandemic.
I
believe
the
project
will
be
a
valuable
addition
to
my
district
and,
and
I
know
the
development
team
has
conducted
a
thorough
community
process.
I
hope
that
the
bpda
will
look
favorable
on
this
project.
If
you
have
any
questions.
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
vice
chair
and
director
golden
as
well.
A
And
teresa
or
jonathan
are,
you
is
councillor
bark.
D
L
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
chair.
I
I
wanted
to
join
today.
This
isn't
counselor
flynn's
district,
but
it's
immediately
adjacent
to
mine,
and
I
think
it
really
reflects
a
deep
desire
that
the
back
bay
residents
that
I
represent
have
had
to
get
more
affordable
housing
in
the
neighborhood
and,
frankly,
the
last
time
that
I
was
here
speaking
before
you
all.
L
It
was
about
our
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
zoning
changes
which
are
going
to
go
into
formal
effect
next
week
and,
as
I
said,
then
one
of
my
major
goals
was
to
think
about
how
we
make
sure
that
we
have
places
for
all
bostonians
to
live
in
all
parts
of
the
city,
and
I
think
that
kind
of
inclusive
housing
is
really
being
served
by
this
proposed
project.
That's
before
you
today,
a
collaboration
of
beacon
communities
and
pine
street
inn,
and
it
you
know
it
means
a
lot
to
me.
L
I
think
it
is
of
those
opportunities
for
low-income
bostonians
to
live
in
our
city
right
on
site,
right
in
the
heart
of
a
transit-rich
area,
a
few
steps
from
the
boston,
public
library,
central
branch,
all
the
wonderful
parks
and
amenities
and
job
opportunities
and
educational
opportunities
that
I'm
so
proud
to
have
in
my
district
and
counselor
flynn's
right
in
this
place
of
cultural
heritage,
with
the
lyric
theaters
being
so
important
to
all
of
us.
L
I
just
think
it's
an
amazing
opportunity
and,
and
it's
it's
even
it
even
provides
a
continuing
space
for
part
of
the
campus
of
our
snowden
high
school.
L
So
I
think
it's
an
unusual
coming
together
of
things
and
for
me
I
I
grew
up
in
bay
village,
so
very
close
to
this,
and
I
grew
up
around
the
corner
from
supportive
housing
units
that
are
now
managed
by
caritas
communities
that
my
my
parents
and
their
friends
have
been
involved
in
citing
in
their
neighborhood
30
years
prior
and
and
to
me,
those
have
always
sort
of
shown
as
an
example
of
how
supportive
housing
for
low-income
folks
can
be.
L
L
Is
there
people
who
are
who
are
lacking
a
thing
that
we
all
need,
and
so
I'm
just
really
grateful
to
the
pine
street
inn
for
all
their
work
and
the
idea
of
really
being
able
to
anchor
a
bunch
of
people
in
place
in
in
the
neighborhood
means
a
ton
to
me
and-
and
I
hope
I
hope
will
compel
the
board
today.
I
also
just
want
to
briefly
thank
the
beacon
team
for
being
responsive
to.
L
I
know
my
constituents
have
were
really
glad
to
see
the
historic
preservation
aspect
of
this
project
have
also
pushed
on
the
green
aspects
of
this
project
and
and
beacons
really
recently
upped
their
commitment
to
go
from
sort
of
complying
with
lead
to
lead
silver,
and
you
know,
there's
more
work
to
do.
I
think
we're
all
looking
at
decarbonization
and
what
we
could
do
with
our
legacy
historic
buildings,
and
I,
I
wouldn't
say
we're
at
the
top
of
the
at
the
top
of
the
range
here
with
this
project
on
that.
L
But
I
do
want
to
recognize
that,
in
response
to
you
know
some
comments
and
pressure
and
conversation
around
that
front,
that
the
team
came
to
the
table
and
has
made
real
strides
on
that.
So
as
the
counselor
as
a
counselor,
who
always
wants
to
be
both
for
green
sustainability
and
for
affordable
housing.
I
I
appreciate
the
ability
to
kind
of
hold
both
those
things.
L
So
I've
definitely
gone
over
my
time,
but
thanks
thank
the
board
for
their
forbearance
and
thank
you
to
all
the
team
and
all
of
the
community
members
who
have
engaged
in
this
process.
Thanks.
A
B
A
Yep
so
okay,
so
you
mean
thank
you
for
joining
the
match.
BA
A
A
A
chapter
652,
is
amended
to
consider
the
proposed
project
at
140
clarendon
street
in
the
back
bay
neighborhood
of
boston.
The
project
involves
a
renovation
of
the
existing

supporting
programs,
all

A
A
BB
Thank
you,
mr
vice
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
director
golden
I'm
nokur,
monani
senior,
institutional,
planner
and
project
manager.
I'm
pleased
to
share
with
you
a
proposal
by
beacon
communities
to
create
210
income,
restricted
housing
units
in
back
bay
through
the
renovation
of
the
existing
ywca
building
at
140
clarendon
street.
BB
If
you
could
advance
to
the
next
slide,
as
the
counselors
alluded
to
in
their
remarks
at
the
beginning
of
this
agenda
item,
the
proposed
project
presents
an
opportunity
to
add
housing
in
a
transit
ridge
location
at
the
heart
of
back
bay,
while
preserving
a
historic
building
and,
most
importantly,
creating
a
safe
space
to
live
for
some
of
boston's
most
vulnerable
residents.
BB
All
of
the
proposed
210
apartments
will
be
income
restricted
to
households
at
or
below.
60
of
the
ami
of
those
111
will
be
set
aside
for
individuals
or
families
experiencing
homelessness
and
be
managed
in
collaboration
with
the
pine
street.
Inn
pine
street
and
beacon
will
offer
wrap-around
social
services
for
those
households,
including
on-site
case
management,
social
activities
and
access
to
job
training
services
as
well.
BB
BB
In
addition,
beacon
is
also
presently
working
with
existing
tenants
to
minimize
displacement
as
part
of
this
renovation,
as
alluded
to
by
councillor
bach.
The
staff
also
appreciates,
in
particular,
the
work
of
beacon
and
new
ecology
on
pursuing
a
lead
silver
certification
to
meet
the
city
and
bpda
sustainability
goals.
BB
In
conclusion,
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
this
project
advances
the
bpda's
goals
for
equitable
housing
creation,
sustainability
and
resilience
and
thoughtful
historic
preservation
and
has
the
potential
to
be
precedent.
Setting
for
our
city,
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
darcy,
jameson
and
linda
downey,
from
the
beacon
and
pine
street
in
teams
to
go
through
the
presentation.
C
BC
Can
everybody
hear
me
now
we
can
okay
great
if
you
could
advance
it
to
the
next
slide,
please
great!
So
I'm
darcy
jamison
with
beacon
communities
and
on
behalf
of
beacon
and
the
pine
student.
I
want
to
express
our
thanks
for
everyone's
collaboration.
BC
Just
by
way
of
brief
background
as
to
how
we
got
here
today
and
why
the
rush,
the
yw
had
a
market
rate
hotel
buyer
lined
up
last
year
to
acquire
the
building
which
would
have
displaced
everyone
that
was
there
and
with
the
onset
of
covid,
that
sale,
dissolved
and
opened
up
an
opportunity
for
beacon
the
city
of
the
state
and
pine
street
and
to
really
think
big
about
what
we
could
accomplish
together
and
that
would
really
have
a
citywide
impact.
BC
The
outcome
of
those
conversations
are
what
we're
here
to
talk
about
tonight
in
newport
yeah,
so
historic
preservation,
as
newport
mentioned,
of
the
building
retaining
the
cultural
and
educational
uses
that
are
in
the
building
and,
I
think,
most
significantly,
the
creation
of
210
permanently
affordable,
studio
and
one-bedroom
apartments
111,
which
will
be
set
aside
for
people
who
are
currently
experiencing
homelessness
and
supported
by
the
pine
street
inn
through
their
housing
first
model,
which
lindia
will
spend
a
couple
of
minutes
talking
a
little
bit
more
about
in
a
couple
of
minutes.
BC
The
same
condition
that
led
us
to
this
opportunity
is
also
driving
our
schedule.
The
yw
needs
to
effectuate
the
sale
no
later
than
august,
and
in
order
for
a
beacon
to
accomplish
that,
we
need
to
put
our
financing
and
approvals
into
place
over
the
near
term
to
continue
our
process
with
the
department
of
housing
and
urban
development.
So
we
really
appreciate
everyone's
help
and
support
getting
us
here
tonight.
So
I
think
newport.
BC
If
you
want
to
advance
to
the
next
slide
or
whoever's
controlling
them,
I
think
that
most
folks
know
beacon,
but
we
are
a
boston-based
mission-driven,
affordable
housing,
development
and
property
management
company.
We
own
about
150
communities
with
over
17
000
apartments,
please
advance,
and
just
by
way
of
a
couple
of
examples
of
communities
in
the
boston
area
that
beacon
owns
advantage.
We
have
quincy
towers
in
chinatown
and
the
old
colony
public
housing
redevelopment
in
south
boston
next
slide.
Please.
BC
BD
I
can
jump
in
good
evening.
Everyone.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
Pine
street
inn
is
well
known
for
our
emergency
shelters,
but
at
this
point
in
time,
we're
very
proud
that
we
actually
have
more
housing
units,
more
units
of
housing
than
shelter
beds,
to
state
it's
simply
housing.
It
is
the
solution
to
homelessness,
so
we're
very
excited
about
the
140
clarendon
project.
BD
The
center
piano
in
this
slide
talks
about
our
supportive
housing
in
our
rapid,
rehousing
and
and
placement.
That's
what
we're
all
about
it's!
It's
about!
Moving
people
off
the
streets
out
of
emergency
shelter
and
into
housing
next
slide,
please!
BD
BD
BD
So
pine
street
ends
impact
is
multifaceted,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
all
can
agree
on
is
that
a
better
boston
is
a
boston
without
homelessness.
So
the
goal
for
the
city
is
to
get
to
a
functional,
what's
called
a
functional
zero
in
terms
of
homelessness,
which
means
we're
not
there
yet,
but
if
somebody
becomes
homeless,
then
it's
just
a
matter
of
a
very
short
period
of
time
before
they're
moved
into
housing.
BD
The
way
that
is
going
to
happen
is
projects
such
as
140
clarendon,
with
111
units
of
targeted
housing
for
homeless
people,
the
the
increase
to
the
overall
boston
housing
stock,
again
targeted
to
homeless.
People
really
takes
a
big
jump
with
this
project,
and
that's
we're
so
excited
about
that,
and
it
will
really
impact
the
lives
of
people
who
are
living
on
the
streets
and
living
in
our
shelters.
BC
Thank
you,
jan
next
slide.
Please
I'd
like
to
spend
a
minute
on
beacon,
residential
management
and
our
community
relations
and
safety.
BC
Safety
was
one
of
the
main
concerns
that
we
heard
from
the
community
during
the
community
process
that
newport
referenced
to
start
beacon
and
pine
street
in
will
have
an
extremely
strong
presence
in
the
building,
as
well
as
in
the
neighborhood,
both
beacon
and
pine
street,
and
will
have
a
team
of
people
on
site
our
full-time
property
management
team,
our
maintenance
team,
our
resident
services,
coordination
team,
as
well
as
pine
street
inns
case
management
team.
So
in
any
given
day,
probably
somewhere
between
eight
and
twenty
staff,
people
coming
in
and
out
and
throughout
the
building.
BC
The
other
thing
I
want
to
touch
on
that
came
up
during
the
meetings
is
tenant
selection.
The
tenant
selection
process
has
been
developed
in
close
coordination
with
the
city
of
boston's
housing
policies
and
the
boston
housing
authority,
as
well
as
understanding
and
considering
all
fair
housing
requirements,
and
we've
adjusted
some
of
this
based
on
the
community
feedback
that
we
received
collectively.
BC
BC
Please
look
to
the
next
slide,
please.
So
this
slide
just
briefly
augments
some
of
what
I've
been
talking
about
in
terms
of
the
programs
and
services
that
jan
mentioned,
that
pine
street
in
will
offer
through
their
housing
first
the
wraparound
case,
management
programs
and
services,
and
then
the
beacon
residential
management
team.
Also
has
a
community
engagement
team
that
will
have
on-site
wellness
programs,
coordinate
visits
from
medical
professionals,
our
fitness
center
and
other
programs
and
services
next
slide,
please.
BC
So
just
coming
back
to
the
building,
specifically
for
a
minute,
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
current
uses,
the
existing
cultural
and
educational
use
of
uses,
plus
viega
and
the
hanoven
taylor,
and
in
addition,
there
are
79
existing,
affordable
apartments
and
39
market
rate
units
of
about
which
15
are
occupied
right
now,
and
the
shuttered
hotel
as
a
result
of
covet
next
slide.
Please.
BC
So
I
think
we've
talked
pretty
pretty
generally
about
what
the
program
is,
but
for
the
historic
building,
no
changes
to
the
facade,
210
apartments
serving
households
below
60
of
the
area,
median
income
that
we
anticipate
will
be
fully
supported
by
project-based
vouchers,
from
the
housing
authority,
serviced
enriched
by
beacon
and
pine
street
inn,
and
I
just
want
to
touch
on
parking.
Since
I
know
that's
always
a
question.
There
are
four
existing
parking
places
that
our
staff
will
have
access
to.
BC
No
additional
parking
is
proposed
and
not
a
population
that
we
would
anticipate
actually
would
have
too
many
vehicles
anyway.
Next
slide,
please
so
I'm
going
to
just
briefly
touch
on
our
scope
of
work,
which
includes,
as
newport
said,
some
repairs
to
the
historic
facade
and
then
common
area
improvements.
BC
The
building
went
through
a
renovation
by
the
y
about
15
years
ago,
so
it's
actually
in
pretty
pretty
decent
shape,
though
like
any
aging
building
does
need
some
work
throughout
the
building,
but
I
think
the
biggest
scope
of
work
is
adding
kitchens
to
all
of
the
hotel
rooms
and
new
and
single
room
occupancy
units
in
the
building
and
all
the
associated
ventilation
systems,
so
that
every
apartment
is
a
standalone
apartment.
Next
slide,
please.
BC
So
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
the
city
and
state
housing
agencies
to
balance
the
multiple
social
and
physical
redevelopment
goals
within
the
existing
framework.
The
building
is
occupied.
BC
It's
historic
and
work
needs
to
be
done
with
in
accordance
with
the
secretary
of
the
interior
and
the
financial
resources
that
are
available
and
compressed
closing
schedule,
and
I
appreciated
consular
box
remark
that
we
have
been
trying
to
to
listen
and
be
responsive
and
improve
some
of
our
redevelopment
plans
around
the
green
aspects.
So
just
really
briefly,
I
think
folks
know
us
we're.
In
a
transit-rich
environment,
we
are
making
significant
improvements
to
the
accessibility
getting
into
the
building
and
then
throughout
the
building.
BC
Next
slide,
please
and
then
from
an
environmental
standpoint,
it's
an
existing
building,
so
there
are
no
new
impacts
around
you
know:
storm
water,
utilities,
wind
etc,
and
we
are
making
very
significant.
I
think
improvements
on
the
sustainable
design
side
building
will
achieve
leed
silver
certifiable,
and
I
know
that
folks
have
asked
us
to
consider
whether
or
not
we
can
even
go
further
than
that.
We
appreciate
the
questions
from
gbc
as
well
as
the
community
and
we'll
definitely
continue
to
explore
what
the
opportunities
are.
BC
But,
as
I
mentioned,
there
are
some
variables
related
to
the
fact
that
the
buildings
occupied
historic
and
financial
resource
considerations.
But
that
said,
we're
happy
to
continue
the
dialogue
to
see
what
might
be
possible
next
slide,
please
so
relocation.
So
the
good
news
is
that
the
cultural,
educational
and
commercial
uses
that
we
all
love
will
be
able
to
remain
in
the
building.
BC
There
are
79,
affordable
apartments
and
those
residents
will
be
able
to
stay
in
the
building.
We
may,
we
will
probably
be
moving
them
around
as
we
sequence
our
construction
throughout
the
building,
but
we're
working
closely
with
our
relocation
partner,
who
many
of
you
know
housing
opportunity
unlimited
to
work
closely
with
those
residents
to
make
sure
they
get
to
know
our
team
now
and
understand.
BC
What's
ahead,
I
attended
a
meeting
with
them
recently
and
it's
a
nice
group
that
we're
gonna
have
an
opportunity
to
get
to
know
and
make
sure
have
permanent
homes
in
the
building,
and
then
there
are
market
rate
residents.
I
think
we're
down
to
about
15
market
rate
residents
right
now
I
heard
recently
a
couple
people
had
moved
moved
on.
BC
This
is
a
tax
credit
project
and
so
without
getting
into
too
much
detail
for
every
apartment.
That
is
not
a
tax
credit
apartment.
We
lose
some
of
the
upfront
capital
to
the
tune
of
about
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
a
hundred
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
then
by
just
maintaining
just
a
handful
of
market
rate
apartments
in
such
a
large
building.
BC
BC
If
folks
have
questions
and
then
last
but
not
least,
I
just
want
to
touch
on
construction
once
we
transition
into
ownership
of
the
building
it'll
be
about
a
20-month
construction
period,
we'll
really
focus
on
beacons
offices
and
the
wellness
spaces
on
the
first
floor,
very
focused
on
communication
with
residents,
so
that
folks
know
what
go
is
going
on.
Hopefully,
covid
will
be
a
distant
memory,
but
if
it's
not,
it
will
be
top
of
mind
for
our
safety
practices.
BC
We're
currently
working
on
a
construction
management
plan.
We
had
a
public
improvement
commission
meeting
this
morning
that
went
well
we're
working
on
our
cmp
and
all
the
associated
documents,
and
just
in
my
closing
remarks,
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
we're
very
mindful
of
the
wnbe
section,
3
boston
job
requirements
and
will
ensure
that
we
and
our
contractor
are
in
full
compliance
with
those
I'm
going
to
stop
there
and
look
forward
to
questions.
A
Okay,
your
you're
going
to
facilitate
that
again.
B
Yep
so,
and
anybody
who
wishes
to
to
testify
either
in
support
and
opposition,
please
please
activate
your
blue
hand.
Martin
roder
go
ahead
and
unmute
yourself.
AK
Thank
you,
mr
vice
chair
members
of
the
board,
bpda
and
elected
officials.
If
you're
still
online,
so
I
actually
represent
a
group
of
residents
of
the
back
bay,
the
ones
that
councilor
bock
referred
to,
who
had
had
a
discussion
with
the
project
team,
and
we
are
pleased
that
they
took
the
small
steps
announced
in
a
filing.
I
think,
on
march,
8th,
to
move
to
to
move
to
leeds
silva.
AK
We
of
course
support
and
welcome
this
project,
which
I
think
many
people
in
the
back.
They
have
long
advocated
for
to
have
affordable
housing
in
this
very
attractive,
well-known
neighborhood.
However,
having
said
that,
I
think
we
would
be
remiss
if
we
did
not
identify
the
predictable
financial
reputational
risks
which
this
building
may
well
face
within
a
very
few
years,
because
even
with
the
modification
of
the
proposed
case
in
the
pnf,
it
will
in
fact
fall
far
short
or
because
it
only
involves
a
relatively
modest
improvement
in
building
carbon
emissions.
AK
It
may
end
up
being
a
relatively
high
carbon
island,
so
we
respectfully
propose
two
parallel:
complementary
efforts:
steps
towards
implementing
the
reach
scenario,
which
achieves
a
fifty
percent
reduction
as
compared
to
an
eight
percent
reduction
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
the
pnf
and
pursuing
additional
financial
facilities.
In
addition
to
those
already
being
targeted,
the
steps
could
be
terminating
the
existing
steam
contract
with
the
synergy,
energy
modifying
the
air
source,
heat
pump
component
to
the
reach
case
to
utilize,
the
existing
water
source
heat
pump
and
the
other
aspects
your
time
is
up.
AK
BE
Hi,
I'm
here
as
a
representative
of
the
homelessness
task
force
of
the
neighborhood
association
of
the
back
bay,
and
I
thank
you
for
your
work
in
making
sure
our
city
is
beautiful
and
vibrant
and
a
wonderful
place
where
all
residents
can
live
in
dignity.
I
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
little
background
on
what
we
were
involved
in.
There
are
17
members
of
this
task
force
that
came
together
in
the
back
bay.
BE
Part
of
the
neighborhood
association
were
officially
part
of
the
neighborhood
association,
which
has
supported
the
project
and
they
came
together
because
of
safety
concerns
of
people
living
on
the
streets,
and
then
it
quickly
rose
to
concerns
about
the
dignity
of
people
and
life
in
our
city,
and
these
neighbors
have
studied
and
the
problem
of
homelessness
and
this
model
that's
about
to
be
employed
at
140.
Clarendon
is
the
model
that
will
turn
out
to
be
a
national
example.
BE
So
I
am
very
much
supportive
of
having
this
move
forward
as
expeditely
as
possible
and-
and
I
do
think
they
have
a
lot
of
resources
that
have
to
be
invested
to
make
it
successful
working
with
this
very
vulnerable
population.
So
I
appreciate
your
fast
tracking
the
project
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
our
neighborhood
having
this
project
in
our
midst
and
of
the
17
members
of
our
homelessness
task
force,
our
butters
and
neighbors
and
they're
very
excited
about
having
this
come
come
into
our
neighborhood.
So
thank
you
very
much.
AP
Thank
you
malam

I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
darcy

pulling
this
deal
together

great
thanks
to

She
does
a
great

we
definitely
need
more

for
her.

Hi,

of
operations
at
women's
lunch
place
a
shelter
for
women
experiencing
homelessness
and
poverty
on
newbury
street.
We
strongly
support
this
project.
Beacon
communities
in
pine
street
are
organizations
highly
regarded
for
their
expertise,
development
and
management
of
affordable
housing.
We
are
impressed
with
the
oversight
that
has
been
built
into
this
project.
The
programming,
stabilization
services,
security
and
staffing
levels
forecast
a
safe,
well-run
and
much
needed
community.

I'm

board
of
directors
of
the
lyric
stage,
company
of
boston,
which
leases
space
for
its
theater

in

the
I
live
in

neighborhood
just
around
the
corner
on
columbus

in
the
south
end,
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
this
project.
AJ
BG
We
are
highly
in
favor
of
this.
This
affordable
housing
project,
as
you
know,
nav,
is
deeply
committed
to
affordable
housing,
community
engagement,
preservation
of
the
architectural
integrity
of
the
back
bay
and
sustainability
to
that
and
the
140
clarendon
street
project
checks
those
boxes
in
four
significant
ways.
BG
First,
with
the
addition
of
several
hundred
deeply
affordable
units
with
approximately
one
half
to
two
thirds
of
the
units
prioritized
for
the
chronically
homeless,
the
project
will
make
a
major
contribution
in
meeting
critical
housing
needs,
which
we,
as
at
nav,
have
long
advocated
for
here.
In
the
back
bay
and
in
our
city,
we
stand
behind
the
supportive
housing
model
where
full-time
staff
provides
services
to
sustain
residents,
health
and
well-being
for
formerly
chronically
unhoused
persons.
BG
BG
Third,
the
construction
plan
for
this
project
is
consistent
with
nav's
efforts
to
preserve
and
protect
the
architectural
integrity
of
back
bay
buildings
and
fourth,
within
the
confines
of
budgetary
constraints
within
an
existing
100
year
old
building
developers
working
to
meet
sustainability
goals
and
requirements.
BG

Hey
vincent
coyle:
does
this
agent
with
the
iron
workers
a
local
seven
who's,
a
strong
supporter
of
pine
street
ed
ryze
in
favor
of
this
project,
especially
helping
those
that
are
on
the
streets
having
hope
and
finding
a
place
to
live?
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
BH
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
speak
this
I
am
my
name
is
john
lane.
I
am
a
member
of
the
impact
advisory
group
for
the
140
project.
This
is
an
intensely
personal
project.
BH
To
me,
I
spent
five
plus
years
chronically
homeless
in
boston
as
a
resident
of
various
programs
that
pine
street
the
shelters
out
on
long
island
back
when
the
bridge
was
open
and
then
shelters
at
112
and
in
the
gym
when
the
bridge
went
down
and
I
finally
got
housed
through
actually
case
management
at
pine
street,
and
I
now
live
in
bha
housing.
BH
I'm
a
ministry
partner
with
common
cathedral
and
ministry
partner
with
st
paul's
cathedral,
their
mana
program,
both
which
do
outreach
to
people
experiencing
homelessness,
and
I
also
work
now
in
the
shelter
I
used
to
stay
at
at
112
southampton.
I
work
for
the
public
health
commission,
and
so
I
see
what
you
know
is
going
on
on
a
daily
basis
and
the
folks
experiencing
homelessness
on
a
daily
basis.
The
situation
is
worse,
quite
frankly
than
I
remember
from
five
or
six
years
ago,
in
terms
of
the
need
for
supportive
housing.
BH
I
found
community
through
church.
I
did
not
have
supportive
housing
in
my
housing,
but
I
got
here
through
pine
street
through
their
advocacy,
and
I
know
how
important
community
is.
It's
really
just
the
thing
that
keeps
people
from
going
into
a
box
and
being
there
with
themselves
and
maybe
a
free
tv,
it's
what
keeps
people
moving
forward
progressing
and
getting
to
a
point
where
they
can
become
once
again
contributing
members
of
society.
So
I
speak
out
very
strongly
in
favor
of
this
program.
I'm
trying
to
favor
this
building.
BH
AQ
B
I
hold
gary,
oh
no.
I
guess
gary
walker,
okay,
I
guess
hang
on
go
ahead.
Gary
walker,
oh,
never
mind.
I
think
he
might
be
having
difficulty.
I
think
this
concludes
the
public.
Testimony
for
this
for
this
project.
B
A
A
I
Just
to
comment
that
this
project
is
really
exemplary
in,
in
so
many
ways,
sustainability
and
public-private
partnerships
and
addressing
the
needs
of
homeless
people
and
enabling
them
to
to
stay
in
the
city
downtown
without
being
shunted
off
to
some
remote
area.
And
I
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
the
presenters
here
and
the
participants
for
for
the
work
that
that
you've
done
to
pull
this
together.
I
I
mean
it's
just.
It
is,
as
as
newport
has
suggested,
potentially
a
national
model,
and
I
hope
that
it
gets
the
kind
of
publicity
that
it
should.
It's
just
a
wonderful
piece
of
work,
very
good.
A
Oh,
that's
right!
Sorry,
that's
right!
So
that
is
the
vote
which
passes.
Congratulations
and
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
A
A
Second,
motion
made

Thank.
AC
You,
mr
chairman,
and
through
you
to
the
members
good
evening,
I'd
like
to
start
by
making
a
few
remarks
about
the
language
access
plan
that
you
approve
tonight
after
presentation
by
staff.
AC
AC
At
that
time,
the
mayor
insisted
that
that
the
the
the
agency
do
a
better
job
at
empowering
neighborhoods,
doing
a
better
job
of
reaching
people
who
otherwise
might
normally
not
have
access
to
to
information
and
to
not
only
provide
them
with
information
but
to
provide
them
with
a
meaningful
voice
on
the
planning
affairs
and
the
development
affairs
in
the
neighborhood.
AC
So
so,
we've
taken
a
lot
of
steps
over
the
past
seven
plus
years
to
empower
neighbors
in
neighborhoods
more
to
give
them
a
meaningful
voice
in
the
decisions
that
are
made
and
the
decisions
that
we
make.
Understanding
that
that
long
long
in
the
past
are
the
days
when
this
agency
governed
from
the
top
down
that
that
the
the
old
boston
redevelopment
authority
knew
what
was
best
and
and
did
what
it
thought
was
best
in
the
neighborhood.
AC
The
the
the
work
we
do
today
takes
our
lead
from
the
neighborhood
works
for
consensus,
gains,
support
for
the
activity
that
we
think
makes
a
better
boston
for
for
all
bostonians,
all
along
the
socioeconomic
spectrum.
So
so
what
what
the
the
the
recent
step?
AC
The
the
step
you've
taken
tonight
is
to
adopt
a
language
access
plan,
because
the
city
that
I
grew
up
in
the
city
that
many
of
us
grew
up
in
on
the
70s
and
80s
and
even
the
90s
is
a
rat,
was
a
radically
different
place
than
it
is
today.
This
is
a
very
different
place,
demographically,
socioeconomically
and
in
a
big
part
of
that
change.
AC
That
metamorphosis
is
that
the
city's
a
far
more
diverse
place-
it
is
now
a
majority
known
white
and,
along
with
the
diversity
that
characterizes
modern
boston,
is
a
is
a
is
a
greater
multiplicity,
length
of
languages
and
thousands
of
people
in
boston
are
not
english
proficient,
but
at
the
same
time
our
goal
is
to
be
more
transparent
to
to
ensure
that
people
understand
what
we're
proposing
what
developers
are
proposing.
AC
What
planning
exercises
are
contemplating
if
neighbors
are
to
really
understand
that
and
then
have
a
meaningful
voice
in
it.
We
need
to
be
communicating
with
them
very
basically
in
a
language
that
they
understand,
so
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
that
since
2014,
but
more
ad
hoc,
more
discerning,
where
there's
a
need
for
language
or
responding
to
requests
for
translation
services.
AC
But
now
what
we're
doing
we
haven't
really
been
doing
for
months,
but
ratifying
it
in
tonight's
vote
is
to
adopt
a
language
access
plan
that
makes
that
approach
consistent
across
the
range
of
bpda
bpda
activities
in
the
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city.
So
it's
a
really
important
step.
It
is
a
very
progressive
step.
AC
We
think
that
we
go
toe-to-toe
with
any
other
major
city
in
america
and
probably
a
lot
better
when
it
comes
to
providing
language
access,
translation
of
key
documents
of
written
documents
and
providing
oral
interpretation
to
people
in
the
languages
that
they
understand
and
communicate,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
and
celebrate
that
for
a
moment
that
this
policy
provides
both
understanding
and
a
meaningful
voice
to
people
who
otherwise
would
not
perhaps
readily
understand
the
activities
that
we're
engaged
in
in
the
neighborhoods.
AC
So
so
I
salute
the
approval
tonight
and
I
salute
the
really
hard
work
of
a
lot
of
staff
who
who
developed
this
program.
Who've
developed
this
policy
but,
more
importantly,
we'll
implement
it.
The
implementation
of
this
will
be
arduous.
It
will
be
time
consuming.
There
will
be
expense
associated
with
it,
but
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
and
it's
an
important
continuation
of
the
transformation
of
this
organization
in
in
its
effort
to
be
more
sensitive
to
the
needs
of
the
people
that
we
serve
linkage.
AC
Last
month,
you,
this
board,
approved
a
change
to
the
city's
linkage
policy
and
that
went
on
to
the
city
zoning
commission.
Yesterday,
the
zoning
commission
voted
unanimously
to
approve
a
text
amendment
to
the
zoning
code
that
increases
linkage.
Fees
collected
from
large-scale
commercial
development
by
42
mayor
walsh,
has
now
signed
that
increase
into
law.
AC
This
board
recommended
approval
of
the
increase
at
our
meeting
in
february.
The
new
rate
is
now
15.39
per
square
foot
of
commercial
development
in
the
city
of
which
13
dollars
will
be
dedicated
to
affordable
housing
and
2.39
will
be
dedicated
to
work
for
us
training.
This
increase
was
a
result
of
house
bill.
W
AC
AC
This
will
continue
to
allow
the
city
of
boston
to
leverage
funding
for
affordable
housing
and
job
training,
many
millions
of
dollars
per
year
through
commercial
development,
and
it
will
yield
significantly
more
resources
for
these
urgent
needs
for
our
city's
residents.
So
it
began
with
a
proposal
here
at
city
hall
and
up
to
the
state
legislature
by
mayor
walsh,
was
approved
by
the
legislature
ultimately
approved
by
this
board,
approved
by
the
zoning
commission,
who
became
law
with
the
signature
of
the
mayor
of
the
past
24
hours.
AC
So
a
really
bit
of
good
news,
as
we
continue
our
effort
to
make
sure
that
we
can
we
are.
We
are
tapping
private
development
to
deliver
resources
for
the
people
of
boston
who
need
them
when
it
comes
to
workforce
development,
affordable
housing.
AC
Finally,
I'd
like
to
congratulate
one
of
our
employees,
one
of
the
members
of
the
team
here
at
the
bpda
gisela
soriano,
who
has
been
named
a
2021
latina
leader
by
amplify
latinx
as
part
of
their
women's
history
month.
Celebration
gisella
has
worked
for
the
agency
since
2017
and
she
currently
serves
as
a
credit
analyst
for
the
bpda
and
supports
both
the
boston
local
development
corporation,
the
ldc
and
the
boston
industrial
development
financing
authority
fidfa.
AC
Over
the
past
several
years,
gisella
has
worked
to
expand
the
agency's
outreach
to
diverse
communities
within
boston
she'll
be
honored
at
a
virtual
ceremony
celebrating
the
2020
one
awardees
on
march
18th.
So
just
a
few
days
from
now,
congratulations
gisella
on
this
recognition
for
the
important
work
that
you
do
and
I'm
sorry
I
misspoke
one
final
thing:
this
is
a
good
number
tonight:
you've
approved
307
residential
units,
so
307
new
units
of
housing
in
the
city
of
boston,
but
230
of
them
are
income
restricted,
so
75
of
the
units
you've
approved
tonight
are
being
restricted.
AC
That's
an
important
number
that
again
will
deliver
housing
to,
in
many
cases,
some
of
the
city's
vulnerable
residents
and
their
families,
and
that's
a
number
we
can
all
be
proud
of
as
a
result
of
tonight's
board
meeting.
So
with
that,
thank
you
so
much
and
have
a
good
rest
of
the
evening.
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
virtually
in
april
good
night.
