914
square

The
agencies
have
agreed

seek
the
development
of

home
ownership
units
in

A
Q
Q
There
was
strong
support
for
the
redevelopment
of
these
parcels
from
the
community,
which
allowed
the
agency
to
collect
community
input
on
the
design,
guidelines
and
levels
of
affordability
for
the
parcels.
Another
community
meeting
was
held
on
july
20th
2022,
which
focused
on
reviewing
the
draft
version
of
the
rfp.
Q
The
community
meetings
established
an
rfp
that
focused
on
six
key
principles.
The
first
is
housing
affordability,
which
requests
that
the
development
be
either
affordable,
home
ownership,
affordable
rental
or
temporary
support
of
housing.
The
second
is
parking
which
requests
the
development
was
requested:
development
of
off
street
accessory
parking.
The
third
is
green
space,
which
focuses
on
maintaining
the
mature
trees
on
the
parcel.
The
fourth
is
development
without
displacement,
which
focuses
on
avoiding
displacement
of
the
existing
residents
of
the
reichsburg
neighborhood.
Q
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Do
you
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board
hearing
and
saying?
None
emotion
is
in
order.
A
R
Good
afternoon,
chair
of
us
members
of
the
board
director,
jemison
secretary
fulhes,
mr
rojas,
has
mentioned
I'm
here,
seeking
authorization
to
advertise
and
issue
a
request
for
proposals
for
multiple
contracts
for
land
use,
planning
and
rezoning
services,
as
I
think
most
are
aware,
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
development
pressure
across
the
entire
city.
That's
something
we've
seen
for
a
fairly
long
period
of
time
and
a
lot
of
boston.
Zoning
code
articles
have
not
been
amended
in
kind
of
recent
history
and
can't
meet
up
to
those
challenges.
R
So
there's
an
urgent
need
to
rezone
many
parts
of
the
city
to
impact
the
types
of
development
to
impact
future
development,
make
it
more
predictable,
equitable
and
resilient.
With
that
in
mind,
the
planning
division
seeks
to
supplement
in-house
expertise
through
land-use
planning
and
zoning
consultants
to
provide
a
full
range
of
planning
and
zoning
expertise.
R
Selective
respondents
will
be
delegated
on
an
as
needed
basis,
analysis
and
amendment
work
falling
into
three
buckets
or
three
service
categories:
land
use
planning,
spatial
planning
to
support
language
planning
and
zoning
services.
Selected
respondents
will
work
directly
with
planning
division
staff
to
support
ongoing
planning
and
short-term
needs
assessment.
For
future
work,
the
goal
is
to
put
contracts
in
place
with
a
diverse
group
of
planning
and
zoning
related
consultants
to
make
it
easier
to
access
specialized
services
as
needed
to
complete
current
and
future
planning
and
rezoning
efforts.
R
We
will
work
to
assign,
through
a
series
of
discrete
work,
orders
similar
to
the
real
estate
on-call
service
contract
that
you
may
have
been
familiar
with
hearing
about,
I
think
about
a
year
ago
we
will
work
with
respondents
to
request
a
scope
at
the
at
the
time
of
the
assignment
and
receive
quotes
from
multiple
vendors.
At
that
point,
in
time
we
will
see,
as
I
mentioned,
three
respondent
will
receive
up
to
five
respondents:
entry
categories,
land
use
planning,
services,
spatial
planning,
services
and
joke
zoning
services.
I
can
go
into
more
detail
about
those.
R
All
respondents
determined
have
to
have
meet
kind
of
minimum
threshold
and
quality
requirements.
In
the
case
of
this
rfp
that
falls
into
four
buckets:
correspondent
team
qualification,
project
management,
qualifications,
land
use,
plannings,
facial
planning
and
zoning
experience
and
social
equity
and
resilience
planning
experience.
R
The
award
contract
shall
be
for
one
year
with
the
bpda
holding
a
one-year
option
to
extend
the
contract
that
we
can
do
in
our
sole
discretion.
The
program
budget
will
be
based
on
in
part
on
the
proposals
received
in
specific
projects
that
arise
during
the
term
of
the
contract.
The
aggregate
value
of
the
program
is
not
to
currently
it's
not
currently
expected
to
exceed
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
over
a
two
year
period.
The
resulting
contract
will
be
funded
through
the
bpa
operating
budget.
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board?
Okay

and
seeing
them

is

request.
J
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
This
matter
was
last
before
you
in
august
of
last
year
for
authorization
to
answer
an
engineering
contract
with
gei,
who
is
the
lsp
and
design
engineer
for
this
project.
As
you
may
recall,
p3
is
a
nearly
eight
acre
parcel
located
on
the
corner
of
tremont
and
wheater
streets
in
roxbury,
for
which
development
proposals
are
currently
being
reviewed
and
evaluated.
The
bpda
has
been
awarded
250
dollars
from
mass
development
for
an
initial
phase
of
environmental
remediation.
J
This
work
includes
the
removal
of
an
on-site
lead
hot
spot.
That's
approximately
250
cubic
yards
of
soil
it'll,
remove
that
in
its
entirety
as
remove
a
portion
of
a
soil
mound
that
is
on
the
northeast
section
of
the
site,
disposing
and
focusing
on
the
most
highly
contaminated
soil
in
that
bound
based
on
soil,
pre-characterizing,
sampling
and
testing.
J
For
your
information,
the
lead
hot
spot
is
near
a
utility
line
sub-grade,
which
is
why
it's
a
priority
when
pre-development
activities
do
come
underway
in
this
location,
it'll
be
best
to
have
that
lead
dealt
with
appropriately
before
any
workers
get
in
there.
In
that
soil
near
the
utility
line.
The
bid
package
has
been
prepared
by
gei.
It
will
be
advertised
following
the
commonwealth

As
you

the
vpda
real

team
manages
our
property
as
though
we
live
next
door
with
high
standards
for
our
staff
and
for
the
contractors
who
support
us,
as
we've
been
increasingly
hands-on
across
boston
neighborhoods,
for
example,
by
meeting
regularly
with
nubian
square
stakeholders
and
providing
nearby
space
for
community
events.
We
need
more
resources
to
meet
those
needs.
I
In
this
case,
we
will
award
a
contract
to
a
single
vendor
for
specificities
for
services,
which
will
specifically
include
weekly

of
the

in

and
the
terminal
street
boat
ramp
in
charlestown
and
as
needed
services
at
other
properties,
such
as
grass
cutting
mulching
trash
and
general
cleanup.
This

will
be
publicly
advertised,
including
outreach

The

currently
performed
under

so
we're
excited

I
Thank

know,
the
china
trade
building
is
a

the
national
historic
register
and
it's
home
to
many
tenants,
including
colleges,
businesses,
government
and
community
nonprofits.
For
all
these
reasons,
the
building
requires
significant
investment.
I'm
here
today
to
talk
specifically
about
the
building's
fire
pump
and
control
panel,
which
were
both
installed
in
the

and
are
outdated
and
underperforming.

per
the

Sam.
U
Thank
you
and
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
and
chief
jefferson.
My
name
is
sam
roy
and
I'm
a
senior
transportation
planner
in
the
bpa's
transportation
and
infrastructure
planning
department.
I'm
here
today
to
request
authorization
to
carry
out
the
first
amendment
to
the
south

plan,
contract
to

2022
bpa
authorized
the
director
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
tool
design
group
llc
on
april
6.
U
In
addition
to
the
growth
pressure
in
the
residential
core,
the
study
that
this
study
focuses
on,
there
are
significant
growth
plan
for
adjacent
geographies
over
12
million
square
feet
of
development
planned
for
the
dorchester
avenue
neighborhood,
and
then
the
seaport
is
half
built
out
at
30
million
square
feet.
This
plan
was
requested
from
the
neighborhood
to
respond
to
this
adjacent
and
internal
growth
and
to
respond
to
ongoing
concerns
around
safety
following
many
serious
and
fatal
crashes.
U
A
new
transportation
planning
and
design
initiative
in
the
south
boston
neighborhood
was
really
needed
to
respond
to
this
new
and
existing
context.
Next
slide,
please,
since
the
commencement
of
the
project
tool
has
completed
33
of
the
contract,
the
bulk
of
the
planning
work
completed
to
date
includes
neighborhood
visioning,
public
meeting
planning,
taking
stock
and
writing
the
draft
existing
conditions
report.
U
This
project
has
focused
on
conducting
background
research
on
the
existing
conditions
of
the
pedestrian
bike,
transit
and
street
network.
Following
this
task,
we're
going
to
host
a
public
meeting
and
share
and
confirm
the
research
that
we've
conducted
as
well
as
focus
on
identifying
community-led
goals
and
principles
in
the
winter
of
2023.
U
U
The
delivered
action
plan
will
be
used
by
the
bpa
and
partner
agencies
to
guide
and
review
development
proposals,
inform
development
mitigation
and
influence
city
capital,
budget
decisions
and
advocate
for
infrastructure
investments
by
state
partners.
Next
slide:
please,
our
request
for
increased
funding
comes
in
two
discrete
categories.
U
The
first
is
to
offer
the
opportunity
to
deepen
our
outreach
effort
at
a
rate
of
60
thousand
dollars,
based
on
additional
internal
workload
and
decrease
in
available
internal
capacity,
as
we
need
additional
consultant
support
to
take
on
this
engagement,
this
will
be
an
expansion
of
our
existing
engagement
budget
of
approximately
thirty
thousand
dollars.
This
will
include,
but
not
be
limited
to
four
public
meetings
at
each
of
the
previously
defined
phases
of
the
project,
focus
groups,
stakeholder
engagement
and
pop-up
events.
U
This
support
will
allow
us
to
increase
our
capacity
to
listen
and
learn
directly
from
community
and
meet
the
residents
where
they
are
next
slide.
Please
the
second
category
will
be
increased
funding
at
a
rate
of
up
to
forty
thousand
dollars
to
fund
a
new
scope
task
number
nine.
This
task
will
be
titled
contingency
specifically,
this
contingency
will
allow
us
to
further
advance
the
design
of
our
recommendations,
each
request
to
authorize
task.
9
funds
will
be
associated
with
a
specific
approval
from
the
bpda
project
manager.
U
We
expect
next
slide,
please
we
expect
to
return
to
you
in
2023
for
authorization
to
approve
this
final
transportation
plan,
the
function
of
the
blueprint
for
the
investments
and
the
transportation
network
in
the

boston
residential
neighborhood.
This

Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
director
jemison
secretary
collimas.
We
are
here
before
you
this
evening
to
discuss
a
proposed
project
at
46th
leo
birmingham
parkway
in
austin.
The
proposed
redevelopment
of
the
project
site
calls
for
the
construction
of
a
six-story,
approximately
39
505
for
a
square
foot
residential
multi-family
building.
V
The
proposed
project
will
include
approximately
38
residential
units
with
2
315
square
feet
of
lobby
and
amenity
space,
including
a
6th
floor
outdoor
patio
for
tenants,
13
off
street
parking
spaces
and
60
bike
storage
spaces.
Through
the
community
process.
The
project
underwent
a
number
of
important
changes,
including
a
reduction
in
massing
in
the
rear
adjacent
to
murray
field,
a
reduction
of
parking
and
an
increase
in
both
the
idp
count
to
18
and
an
increase
in
the
number
of
affordable,
2-bed
or
larger
units.
V
Additionally,
the
project
will
improve
the
pedestrian
realm
and
bike
lanes
near
the
project,
encouraging
the
use
of
alternative
transit
through
the
use
of
a
shared
electric
car
for
the
building,
the
installation
of
solar
pv
on
the
roof
and
helping
to
design
a
new
intersection
at
luther
and
leo
birmingham
to
help
mitigate
the
impacts
of
significant
amounts
of
new
development
in
the
area.
I
will
now
turn
to
kathleen
offer
to
walk
you
through
the
planning
context
for
this
project
before
the
development
team
takes
you
through
the
project
itself,.
W
This
project,
like
many
areas
of
austin
brighton,
is
located
in
an
area
of
the
neighborhood
that
has
multiple
recent
and
ongoing
planning
efforts,
including
just
in
the
last
five
years,
the
western
avenue
leo
birmingham
parkway
improvements
plan
that
directly
informs
the
transportation
mitigation
for
this
project.
The
allison
brighton
mobility
study
that
established
a
goal
of
a
multi-modal
future
for
development
in
the
area
and
the
currently
underway
western
avenue
corridor.
Rezoning

which
you
see
in
the
sort
of
stronger
orange
outline
on
this
site,
with
the
arrow
pointing
to
where
the

is
here.
W
W
All
of
these
planning
efforts,
as
well
as
the
ongoing
adjacent
and
nearby
development
projects,
have
involved
significant
community
feedback
and
participation,
and
that
also
helped
inform
how
we
approach
the
planning
context
for
this
review
next
slide.
Please
this
project
in
the
planning
context
staff
focused
on
ensuring
that
those
multimodal
improvements
that
were
in
that
you
know
the
western
avenue
leo
birmingham
parkway
improvements
plan
were
achieved
and
that
we
were
implementing
the
recommendations,
including
a
low
stress,
bike,
infrastructure
and
transit
upgrades
and
ensuring
safe
vehicle
access
to
the
site.
W
But
it's
providing
the
desired
housing
program
for
land
use
and
an
increased
idp
contribution,
including
a
three-bedroom
idp
unit,
matching
community
priorities
and
fair
housing
goals
in
the
area
and
also
is
appropriate
to
design

at
the

level
to

it
over
to
the
project
team.

Thank
you
kathleen
and
nick
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
peter
mccauley
and
I'm
a
director
arc
urban,
the
developer
for
the
project
I'm
joined
today
by
paul
rufford,
our
council
and
dan
artejas
from
embarks
the
projects
architect,
the
project
that
we're
bringing
before
you
today,
46
to
48.
Wii?
U,
and
birmingham
parkway
in
brighton,
consists
of
38
residential
rental
units.
The
project
has
been
shaped
considerably
by
community
feedback,
since
we
filed
in
february.
X
Additionally,
we
plan
to
greatly
improve
the
pedestrian
experience
by
widening
sidewalks
and
reducing
the
large
curb
cuts
that
exist
today.
Finally,
in
our
commitment
to
the
city's
climate
goals,
the
building
will
be
all
electric
include:
the
installation
of
solar
panels,
not
just
solar,
ready
and
feature
multiple
green
roofs
that
will
be
planted
I'll
turn.
The
presentation
over
to
dan
artijas
from
embark
now
to
review
the
architectural
components
and
walk
you
through
the
sites.
Y
Thank
you
peter
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
dan
artesians
with
embark
or
the
architect
for
the
project.
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
in
terms
of
sighting
of
this
of
the
project,
we're
located
at
46
leo
birmingham
parkway
at
the
corner
of
leo
birmingham
and
lothric
street.
Y
It's
kind
of
the
intersection
of
the
larger
scale,
developments
that
are
being
proposed
and
built
along
leo
birmingham,
parkway
and
a
gateway
on
lothric
street
to
the
single
family
context
of
the
name,
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood
and
in
designing
the
building.
We
were
very
sensitive
to
that
in
the
way
that
we
developed
the
massing,
as
well
as
the
stepping
of
the
project.
Y
Next
slide,
please
in
terms
of
the
site
itself,
it's
located
along
a
number
of
bus
lanes
and
bus
routes,
but
also
within
walking
distance
of
the
boston
landing
commuter
rail
station
next
slide.
Y
To
build
on
those
transportation
improvements
developed
by
the
btd
bpda
and
designed
by
howard
stein,
hudson
we're
proposing
to
match
the
ongoing
streetscape
improvements,
sidewalk
widths,
as
well
as
increased
tree
plantings
on
both
leo
birmingham,
parkway
and
milton
street,
as
well
as
have
input
in
the
design
of
the
intersection
of
leo
birmingham
and
loathip
street
and
widen
and
develop
bike.
Bicycle
lanes
on
the
old
birmingham
and
a
sheltered
parking
space.
Y
A
set
of
parking
spaces
along
the
street
next
slide
will
show
the
current
conditions,
I
believe,
which
is
the
state
police,
barracks
and
currently
along
the
overarm
again
parkway
and
bluetooth
street.
There
are
two
over
20
foot
wide,
curb
cuts,
which
impacts
both
the
the
traffic
around
the
site,
as
well
as
the
pedestrian
experience.
Y
The
proposal
removes
it
removes
the
curb
cut
along
leo
birmingham
parkway,
as
well
as
reduces
the
curb
cut
on
lothric
street,
which
will
act
as
the
main
entrance
into
the
parking
area.
Next
slide.
Please.
Y
As
you
can
see,
on
the
left
hand,
side
is
the
streetscape
along
leo
birmingham
parkway
we're
proposing
a
dedicated
loading
and
drop-off
area
in
front
of
the
site
which,
which
both
takes
takes
advantage
of
the
location
of
the
fire
hydrant
in
front
of
the
site,
as
well
as
pulls
vehicular
traffic
away
from
the
current
pedestrian
cross
crossing
overleo
overleo
birmingham,
parkway
and
lands
at
the
corner
of
our
site,
where
we've
designed
a
main
building
entry
point,
locating
amenity
space
and
the
lobby
to
fully
activate
the
street
face
on
the
parkway.
Y
We've
also
located
our
bike
room,
which
includes
the
over
one-to-one
bike
per
unit
parking
ratio.
As
we
continue
down
low
through
street,
we
are
introducing
two
additional
street
trees
here,
where
there
are
none
increasing
the
sidewalk
width,
as
well
as
reducing
that
curb
cut
from
over
20
feet
to
12
feet
for
the
ingress
and
egress
of
the
part.
The
13
internal
parking
spaces
on
site
will
also
have
trash
and
mechanical
fully
enclosed
within
the
building.
Y
Next
slide,
please,
in
terms
of
the
design
of
the
building,
we're
directly
adjacent
to
50
leo
birmingham,
which
has
just
been
completing
construction,
as
well
as
across
lothric
street,
from
30
leo
birmingham,
which
has
recently
been
approved
in
terms
of
looking
at
the
way
that
the
building
is
masked
along
the
street.
We
we
look
to
match
the
height
of
50
leo
birmingham,
but
start
stepping
down
the
massing
as
we
go
down
to
lothric
street
and
on
the
next
slide,
you
can
see
as
we
turn
the
corner.
Y
So
the
introduction
in
the
the
front
white
volume
of
horizontal
clapboard
siding
a
larger
format
panel
base
to
create
a
sense
of
scale
and
rhythm
along
the
facade,
as
well
as
the
introduction
of
this
textured
fiber
cement,
siding
at
the
corner
to
break
up
the
scale
building
and
provide
texture
to
the
sun.
Next
slide,
please,
just
in
terms
to
reiterate
that
massing
and
step
backs.
Y
We
not
only
have
the
20
foot
set
back
to
the
rear,
but
a
number
of
step
backs
and
step
ups
to
our
sixth
floor,
roof
terrace
and
then
on
the
lower
roofs
of
the
building,
we're
introducing
sedum
plant
tray,
fully
landscaped
roof
and
then
on
these
the
full
rooftop
the
sixth
floor.
Y
Roof
will
be
introducing
and
installing
photovoltaic
panels
as
part
of
our
development
next
slide,
please-
and
this
is
just
a
few-
from
the
rear
of
the
site
kind
of
showing
how
we're
stepping
back
from
the
ballpark
and
murray
field
to
our
rear,
as
well
as
stepping
down
to
our
rear
of
butters
next
slide.
Please
so
just
to
to
summarize,
we
have
38
units
on
the
site,
40
of
which
will
be
larger
scale.
Two
and
three
bed
units,
and
almost
eighteen
and
a
half
percent
of
those
will
be
income
restricted.
Y
Ninety
plus
expected
construction
jobs
were
over
1.5
bike.
Spaces
per
unit
will
also
be
produced,
providing
a
dedicated
electric
vehicle
car
share
space
on
the
project
and
improving
pedestrian
experience
on
not
only
leo
birmingham,
parkway
and
lothian
street,
as
well
as
introducing
1
000
square
feet
of
green
roof,
having
an
all-electric
building
and
having
a
pv
roof
array
on
day
one
of
construction
completion.
A
Great

The
project
before
you
is
dirty
leo,
and
birmingham
parkway
in
brighton.
The
existing
site
is
approximately
thirty.
Z
Six
thousand
six
hundred
eighty
four
square
feet
of
land,
which
consists
of
a
vacant
bank
drive-through
service,
elevated
signage,
in
a
parking
lot
proposal
for
you
is
to
construct
one
building
of
mixed
use,
both
residential
and
office,
consisting
of
111
545,
total
square
feet,
83,
847
of
which
will
be
comprised
of
117
rental
units,
of
which
17
or
20
units
will
be
idp.
The
total
unit
mix
consists
of
six
studios,
94
one
bedrooms,
13
two
bedrooms
and
four
three
bedrooms,
the
it.
The
idp
unit
mix
consists
of
two
studios.
Z
Fourteen
one
bedrooms,
three
two
bedrooms
and
one
three
bedroom:
the
maximum
height
of
the
building
will
be
six
stories
at
70
feet
with
an
far
3.04.
The
project
also
includes
54
ad
grade
parking
spaces.
The
project
also
includes
several
transportation
improvements,
as
well
as
other
mitigation
and
community
benefits
items,
the
details
of
which
are
included
in
the
board.
Memo
the
aca,
the
solar
project
representative
in
front
of
both
civic
groups.
Z
The
aca
has
not
taken
the
board
at
this
time,
but
the
bai
did
submit
a
letter
of
support,
as
you
also
saw
in
your
board
packets.
The
comments
were
evenly
split
amongst
the
butters
and
community
and
amongst
the
iag.
However,
the
proponent
responded
to
a
lot
of
the
design
feedback
received
from
bcdc
and
was
able
to
achieve
17
idp
at
the
community's
request,
which
is
much
needed
in
the
austin
brighton
community.
It
is
estimated
that
this
project
will
create
120
construction
jobs
and
that
the
total
development
cost
will
be
49
and
a
half
million.

Again.
This
project
is
immediately
adjacent
to
the
previous
item.
You
reviewed
at
46,
leo
birmingham
and
so
also
is
operating
under
much
of
the
same
planning
context,
including
the
importance
of
the
western
avila
birmingham
parkway
improvements
plan
in
establishing
transportation
mitigation
improvements
and
the
underway
western
avenue
corridor.
Rezoning

vision
for

with

and
active
ground
instances
of

floor
uses
during
next
slide.
W
Please,
during
project
review,
the
staff
focused
on
ensuring
the
project
aligned
with
this
planning
context,
including
achieving
those
improvements
along
the
birmingham
parkway.
I've
also
reported
in
the
previous
project,
additionally,
that
this
is
a
project
achieving
increased
idp
contribution
that
reflects
neighborhood
and
fair
housing
priorities,
including
providing
more
two
plus
bedroom
units
and
two
units
at
a
lower
ami
levels,
and
then
that
also
this
is
a
project
with
the
streamlined
design
features
appropriate
to
multi-family
residential
buildings,
including
a
high
degree
of
responsiveness
to
boston's
design.
AA
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mandatory
members
of
the
board,
I'm
mark
eclipse
with
pca
architects
representing
also
mountain
developer
and
company
developer.
Next,
please
so
just
to
give
you
a
little
concept
context.
As
kathleen
mentioned,
we
are
directly
adjacent
and
you
can
see
in
the
lower
right
46
leo
birmingham
is
directly
to
the
right
of
our
project
site.
AA
Currently,
a
vacant
bank,
a
surface
parking
lot
to
the
left
of
our
project
is
530
western
nav,
a
residential
building
also
owned
by
the
mount
vernon
company,
and
you
can
see
leo
birmingham
almost
to
the
corner.
That
intersection
of
western
avenue
exploits
and
just
to
get
a
sense
of
some
of
the
architecture
around
the
upper
left
is
a
brick
building.
AA
Looking
towards
the
site
just
kind
of
over
here
with
30
western
half
of
the
distance
on
the
upper
right,
you
can
see
530
western
app
now
the
from
zero
direction
foreground
our
building
posed
is
right
to
the
right
of
that
and
then
the
two
views
to
the
bottom
are
the
views
from
the
neighborhood
looking
back
out
towards
leo
birmingham.
Next,
please
so
in
our
site
plan
and
ground
floor
plan,
starting
on
the
left
with
leo
birmingham,
we
are
adding
a
floating
bus,
stop
there's.
AA
Currently
a
bus,
stop
in
this
location,
we're
adding
floating
bus,
stop
and
working
btd,
also
adding
a
drop-off
just
beyond
the
bus,
stop
for
deliveries
and
ride,
share
pickup
next
to
that
is
a
raised
bike
lane
and
then
beyond
that
sidewalk
with
a
width
and
landscaping.
AA
That's
consistent
with
some
of
the
things
that
you
just
heard
and
things
that
are
going
on
further
down
the
street,
but
overall
on
all
three
sides
of
the
building
that
are
adjacent
to
streets,
we're
widening
the
sidewalks,
providing
a
significant
amount,
more
green
space
and
really
working
with
the
neighborhoods.
That's
something
they
ask
for.
I
think.
N
AA
Run
for
the
residents
on
the
north
side
of
the
building
fenced
in
trash
area
that
was
in
response
to
neighbors
concerns
about
seeing
trash
just
on
trash
day.
It's
not
almost
going
to
sit
there.
It
usually
sits
inside
the
building
to
the
south,
the
bottom
of
the
page,
a
large
park
that
is
open
to
the
public,
with
a
significant
amount
of
green
space,
but
also
some
usable
outdoor
space
that
is
adjacent
to
a
community
room.
AA
The
commercial
space
you
see
in
yellow
on
the
corner
is
going
to
be
used
actually
by
the
developer
for
their
offices,
so
this
will
be
the
mount
vernon
company's
main
headquarters
and
that,
along
with
the
lobby,
space
will
will
have
a
lot
of
glass
and
transparency
along
that
to
really
activate
that
street.
You
can
see
our
bike
indoor
bike
space
or
one-to-one
bike
parking.
There's
significant,
also
amount
of
visitor
parking
spread
out
throughout
the
site.
AA
AA
Next,
please,
on
the
upper
floors.
This
is
just
a
typical
upper
floor
and
there's
a
mix
of
junior
one
bedrooms
which
is
sort
of
a
studio
with
an
internal
one
studios,
one
bedrooms,
two
bedrooms
all
the
way
up
to
three
bedrooms.
This
also
gives
you
a
pretty
good
sense
of
the
way
that
the
building
starts
to
mass
and
you'll,
see
that
in
the
perspectives
in
a
minute,
but
we
kept
sort
of
the
main
mass
of
the
building
a
long
way
over.
AA
AA
The
sidewalk
is
another
five
feet,
or
so
beyond
that,
on
the
south
side,
we
set
it
back
over
36
feet
to
to
this
wing
that
comes
out,
but
even
more
or
66
feet
to
the
sort
of
inner
courtyard
so
really
trying
to
address
the
scale
of
the
buildings
that
goes
back
into
the
neighborhood
by
setting
it
back
and
then
it
also
starts
to
step
down
a
bit
on
the
ends.
Thanks,
please
so
in
these
elevations,
the
lower
right
elevation
is
the
one
facing
the
birmingham.
The
material
is
predominantly
brick.
AA
We
worked
very
closely
with
the
bcdc
to
find
a
building
that
really
feels
like
it.
It
fits
that
context
of
leo
birmingham
our
building.
Next
to
us,
the
530
western
is
brick.
You
can
see.
There
was
some
great
buildings
as
we
went
down
the
street,
so
the
building
facing
there
is
brick
and
then
that
brick
bass
turns
the
corner
a
bit
on
both
way
early
and
lothrop,
as
it
goes
back
into
the
neighborhood,
becomes
a
clapper
sighting,
but
trying
to
keep
it
sort
of
feeling
like
one
building,
rather
than
making
it
multiple
buildings.
AA
It's
a
similar
tone
of
collaborative
signing.
As
it
goes
back
into
the
neighborhood
and
then
you
can
see,
there
are
locations
where
the
corners
step
down
both
on
leo
birmingham
and
on
the
corner
of
waverly
and
on
north
road
and
again
you'll
see
that
better,
probably
in
the
perspectives.
AA
Thanks,
please
that
sense
of
the
section,
the
long
section
here
you
can
see
the
parking
tucked
under
the
building.
The
birmingham
is
on
the
right,
as
it
was
mentioned,
the
building's
about
70
feet
or
slightly
shorter
than
70
feet
from
average
grade,
and
then
this
section
cut
through
here
again
looking
back
towards
the
birmingham
way
really
in
the
low
throw
on
the
two
sides
and
the
building
does
step
in
once.
You
get
up
to
the
sixth
floor
next,
please.
AA
So
I
think
this
gets
a
better
sense.
This
is
looking
at
the
building
from
leo
birmingham
at
the
corner
of
sorry,
like
western
avenue,
we're
sort
of
acknowledging
that
special
corner
and
that's
great
view
out
over
the
river,
with
both
the
way
that
the
roof
line
forms
and
some
of
the
things
that
are
happening
on
the
ground
floor,
but
also
this
this
glassy
corner.
AA
You
can
see
this
sort
of
brick
mass,
which
is
very
similar
to
what's
happening
on
the
530
western
and
in
the
building
above
the
fifth
floor,
changes
from
brick
to
a
metal
panel.
Let's
please
looking
the
other
direction.
We
have
a
probably
slightly
older
view
of
46
layover
mayhem
next
to
us,
but
you
can
get
a
sense
of
the
scale
of
these
buildings
as
they
as
they
marched
down
in
birmingham.
AA
But,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
previous
presentation,
we
are
addressing
the
scale
of
the
neighborhood
as
you
sort
of
go
back
from
this
sort
of
main
street
next,
please
and
then
looking
from
winning.
Really.
This
is
the
street
just
to
the
north.
You
can
see
that
24
approximately,
but
set
back
from
the
sidewalk
with
landscaping
that
helps
to
to
screen
the
parking
and
to
soften
this
edge.
AA
This
will
be
the
dark
part
of
a
significant
amount
of
plantings,
both
at
ground
level
and
trees,
and
you
can
start
to
see
how
the
fifth
floor
changes
material
and
sets
back
in
corners
next,
please,
and
along
with
streets,
the
this
36
foot
setback
allows
us
to
do
a
significant
amount
of
green
space
with
plantings,
trees
and
grass
and
beyond.
That
is
the
hardscape
place
you
can
see
in
the
distance,
the
community
center
or
community
space,
meaning
your
room,
that's
open
for
the
outlook
to
use
next,
please
so.
A
A
Okay
item
number:
23
request
authorization
to
issue
a
certification
of
approval
in
accordance
with
article
80e,
small
project,
review
of
the
zoning
code
in
connection
with
the
notice
of
project
change
for
the
northampton
street
residents
project
in
the
south
end
open
renewal
area
to
change
the
building,
use
from
47
income,
restricted
rental
units
to
47
income,
restricted
homeowner
units
located
at
597
through
599
columbus
avenue,
and
to
take
all
related
actions.
Michael.
Z
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
and
director
jemison
michael
sumatra,
senior
project
manager
with
development
review.
The
project
before
you
was
the
northampton
street
residences
creation
project.
This
project
was
originally
approved
by
this
body
in
january
of
2020..
Z
The
existing
site
is
a
9586
square
foot
parking
lot
between
the
southwest
corridor
park
and
the
newcastle
court
building,
which
is
in
its
entirety,
is
located
in
parcel
59
of
the
south
denver
renewal
plan.
The
original
proposal
was
to
construct
a
new
five
and
a
half
story,
building
with
47
rental
units,
100
of
which
will
be
income
restricted.
The
unit
mix
will
consist
of
studios
one
beds,
two
beds
and
three
beds.
The
total
growth
square
footage
will
be
40,
653
square
feet.
The
height
will
be
61
feet.
Z
We
have
before
you
tonight
seeking
approval
for
a
change
of
use
from
rental
to
home
ownership.
Only
no
other
changes
are
being
proposed.
The
proponent
is
also
committing
to
pedestrian
improvements,
including
providing
a
design
and
construction
cost
estimate
for
a
raised
crosswalk,
as
well
as
site
lighting
to
improve
safety
in
the
neighborhood.
The
product
is
expected
to
create
70
construction
jobs
and
five
permanent
jobs.
No
parking
will
be
associated
with
this
project,
but
it
will
include
47
bike
storage
spots
due
to
its
close
proximity
to
the
mass
avt
station.
Z
The
project
will
also
need
south
and
landmarks
approval.
The
small
project
change
was
filed
on
july
26,
2022
and
two
public
meetings
were
held
on
august,
22nd,
2022
and
september
2022.
At
this
time.
I
will
turn
it
over
to
peter
spellios
from
the
development
team
to
go
over
his
presentation
in
more
detail,
after
which
we
would
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
Thank
you
good.
S
Afternoon
madam
chair
board,
member
madame
secretary
and
director
with
transit
real
estate,
thanks
very
much
for
the
time
this
afternoon.
The
only
change
before
this
project
this
afternoon
is
the
change
of
structure
from
a
47
100
income
restricted
compartment
to
47,
100
income,
restricted
home
ownership
units
which
we're
very
excited
about,
is
very
unique
in
the
city
of
boston
to
be
able
to
do
affordable,
homeownership
units
and
back
in
2020.
S
When
we
were
last
before
you,
although
originally
permitted
and
approved
for
apartments,
we
had
indicated
a
presence
and
a
commitment
to
seek
opportunity
to
convert
this
into
a
home
ownership
opportunity
for
the
community.
So
the
beside
that
the
project
is
identical
from
that
which
you
approved
in
2020
with
47,
affordable
units,
25
percent
of
it,
which
more
than
25,
are
large
family
side
humans
in
a
five
and
a
half
story,
building
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have.
Thank
you.
A
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
AB
AB
S
Appreciate
the
question
in
2020,
when
we
originally
approached
the
community,
we
heard
a
very
strong
preference
to
do
homeless,
homeownership
units
in
the
neighborhood.
S
As
you
I'm
sure,
are
well
aware,
there
are
very
few
programs
available
that
support
home
ownership
creation
or
affordable
since
2020
we've
actually
been
working
with
mass
housing
in
the
commonwealth
builder
program,
which
is
a
program
which
mount
housing
has
rolled
out
which
supports
affordable
home
ownership
creation
throughout
the
commonwealth
and
mass
housing
has
been
working
with
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
as
to
do
implementation
of
that
program
here
in
boston
and
will
be
one
of
I
understand
a
few
projects
that
will
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
math
housing's
new
home
ownership,
affordable
program.
A
Okay,
any
additional
questions
or
comments
right
hearing
and
seeing
none
emotion
is
in
order.
Don't
move
because
we'll
call
for
a
vote.
Mr
monahan
aye,
jillian
smart,
mr
miller,
hi
and
that's
I
motion,
passes.
Congratulations
and
good
luck.
Thank.
N
AC
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
ward
director
jamison
and
secretary
colimas.
My
name
is
daniel
polanco
and
I'm
the
project
manager
for
the
proposed
article
early
project
before
you
tonight
at
6971
proctor
street
known
as
roxbury
preparatory
charter
school
located
in
the
new
market
area.
The
proportion
of
oncoming
schools
incorporated
submitted
the
letter
of
intent
march
16
2022,
following
that
with
the
submission
of
their
pnf
project
notification
form
on
june
16
2022.
AC
The
project
involves
demolition
of
an
existing
single-story
storage
office
structure
and
abandoned
three-story
residential
house
on
on-site
in
the
construction
of
a
four
new
four-story
academic
facility,
approximately
eighty-three
thousand
four
hundred
square
square
feet.
The
new
facility
includes
classrooms,
a
cafeteria
gymnasium
and
multiple
administrative
and
storage
spaces.
Along
with
approximately
46
on-site
vehicular
parking
spaces.
The
charter
school
will
serve
students
from
9th
to
12th
grade
in
july
2022.
AC
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
proponent
has
committed
to
work
with
bpa
staff
and
our
city
partners,
in
both
parts
department
and
btd
throughout
the
design
review
process,
to
determine
curbside
regulations
best
to
accommodate
one,
the
pickup
drop-off
hours
for
the
school
and
number
two,
the
users
of
clifford,
the
users
of
clifford
playground
and
number
three,
the
public
parking
lot
that
serves
the
staff
and
constituents
visiting
1010
once
finalized
the
curbside
programming
and
the
associated
signage,
with
the
will
be
memorabilized
in
the
tap
out
transportation
access
plan
agreement
known
as
tapa.
AC
I
would
like
to
also
add
that,
as
the
project
has
had
support
from
elected
officials,
including
council
baker,
thank
you
for
your
time
in
consideration.
Tonight
I
have
the
development
team
here
with
me
today
to
present
the
project
in
detail
to
answer
any
questions
in
regards
to
design
changes.
Any
other
questions
you
may
have.
I
will
now
go
turn
over
to
ted
and
we'll
talk
about
the
planning
context.
Thank
you.
AD
Thank
you
dan
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
forum
ford.
My
name
is
ted
schwartzberg,
I'm
a
senior
planner
at
the
bpda,
and
I'm
one
of
the
team
leads
for
planned
new
market.
This
proposal
lies
directly
at
the
center
of
the
plan:
new
market
geographic
scope,
the
plan
new
market
process
is
ongoing
and
among
the
primary
goals
of
this
planning
process
are
to
come
up
with
a
plan
for
a
21st
century
industrial
neighborhood
that
includes
increasing
job
density
and
total
jobs
in
the
neighborhood,
as
well
as
promoting
job
access
for
boston
residents.
AD
Some
of
the
avenues
for
achieving
these
goals
include
maintaining
traditional
industrial
jobs,
while
also
attracting
urban
industrial
uses
of
the
future.
Other
goals
include:
preserving
creative
economy,
workspaces,
enhancing
the
climate
resilience
of
the
neighborhood,
retaining
indus
retaining
distribution
services
that
are
essential,
essential
to
boston
and
the
region,
and
enhancing
local
manufacturing
and
supply
chains
to
improve
improve
resilience
to
shocks
next
slide.
Please
now,
in
this
planning
study,
educational
use
was
not
a
use
that
was
directly
contemplated.
AD
However,
a
school
is
a
compatible
land
use
with
the
industrial
uses
that
I
mentioned
earlier
and
indirectly
by
training
boston
residents.
This
furthers
the
goal
of
increasing
job
access
for
boston
residents
and
in
terms
of
the
physical
plan.
The
the
proposal
design
is
consistent
with
emergent
design
and
dimensional.
Guidelines
from
the
planning
process,
as
well
as
the
public
realm
is
also
has
been
informed.
The
review
of
the
public
realm
has
been
informed
by
the
planning
process
so
now
on
to
dan
and
the
proponents
to
describe
the
project.
Thank
you.
AE
AE
It
currently
has
three
middle
schools,
two
of
them
located
in
boston,
public
school
buildings,
another
one
in
leased
space
in
the
mission
hill
area
and
one
high
school.
The
high
school
was
founded
about
five
or
six
years
ago
and
has
been
frankly
searching
for
a
a
home
ever
since
it
is
currently
split
between
two
leased
spaces,
one
in
height
square
down
or
clearly
square
down
in
high
park,
and
the
other
is
in
least
space
in
nubian
square.
AE
AE
The
public
transportation
is
really
stellar
between
the
fairmount
line,
mass
ave,
bus
lines,
melania
cass
bus
lines,
nubian
square
transportation
center,
all
of
which
are
in
walking
distance
as
a
high
school.
The
students
do
not
get
the
yellow
school
buses
they
all
virtually
well.
Certainly,
most
of
them
come
by
public
transportation,
and
this
is
a
great
site
for
that.
Also,
you
know
a
shout
out
for
the
new
market
bid,
business
improvement
district
and
the
shuttles
that
will
be
coming
from
that.
AE
So
we
really
just
are
very
excited
to
be
a
part
of
all
that
the
size
of
the
site,
a
little
under
acre,
is
suitable
and
works
and,
needless
to
say,
we're
delighted
to
be
able
to
look
out
over
clifford
park,
which
we
think
is
a
you
know,
tremendous
neighborhood
asset.
AE
So
with
that,
let
me
turn
it
over
to
jonathan
who
will
walk
you
through
our
design.
AF
Thanks
bob
next
slide
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
directors
of
the
board
director
jamison
pleased
to
be
with
you
today.
As
you
can
see,
this
is
the
site
context,
aerial
view.
Clifford
playground
is
in
the
south
of
this
map.
Our
site
is
clearly
identified
with
the
label
there
right
along
proctor
street
and
magazine
to
the
north
on
this
slide
next
slide.
AF
This
is
the
ground
floor
plan,
so
starting
at
the
bottom
of
the
page,
which
is
proctor
street.
Our
team
has
worked
really
hard
in
collaboration
with
the
pda
urban
design
in
the
community
on
creating
what
we
think
is
a
really
active
edge
for
the
main
entry
lobby
at
the
lower
left-hand
side
of
the
page.
So,
as
students
arrive
every
day,
they'll
be
coming
in
off
of
proctor
street
and
greeted
by
administration
and
then
led
up
and
through
the
building.
AF
This
is
the
second
floor
which
shows
an
array
of
classrooms
in
the
orange
color.
We
also
have
some
specialty
rooms
with
respect
to
engineering
and
you'll,
see
some
arts
and
music
spaces
throughout
as
well
administrative
space
and
then
what
we're
calling
a
health
and
wellness
side
of
the
building
with
the
gymnasium
locker
rooms,
strength,
training
rooms
and
then
some
stage
and
dance
for
informal
performances.
AF
Next
next
slide
third
floor
again:
an
array
of
classrooms
along
proctor
street
science,
labs,
art,
space
and
other
administrative
space,
next
slide
and
finally,
the
fourth
floor,
which
again
is
more
academic
classes,
classrooms
and
science
labs
and
administrative
space
next
slide.
This
is
a
series
of
renderings
we'll
go
through.
This
is
from
proctor
streets
or
a
little
bit
lifted
from
the
street
level,
so
that
you
can
really
get
a
sense
of
the
architecture.
AF
That's
there
and
working
that
into
an
iron
spot,
gray,
brick
palette
and
then
also
a
warm
tone,
color
panel
and
mixing
that
in
with
some
nice
glass
and
a
variety
of
of
how
we're
looking
at
the
materials
there's
a
nice
playfulness
to
the
arrangement
next
slide.
AF
These
are
sort
of
straight
on
elevations,
the
top
one
is
taken
from
the
clifford
playground.
So
this
is,
if
you're,
at
the
baseball
side
of
the
playground.
Looking
back
at
the
building
and
again,
we
just
wanted
to
play
on
this
idea.
That
is
the
building
should
be
youthful
because
it's
serving
a
nice
high
school
population
for
boston
students.
AF
And
then
we
have
a
view
right
at
street
level
as
if
you're
entering
the
building,
so
we're
using
the
blue
color
as
the
entry
canopy
signaling
entrance
and
then
to
the
left-hand
side
of
the
ground
level
is
the
dining
commons
cafeteria
space
and
we've
worked
closely
with
our
landscape
team
and
the
city's
urban
design
team
on
the
sidewalk
dimensions
and
things
like
street
trees.
Bike
bike
parking
us
that
we
have
a
number
of
different
pedestrian
amenities
coming
to
the
sidewalk
next
slide.
AF
AF
This
is
a
view
taken
in
the
evening.
We
just
wanted
to
show
the
building's
character
it's
right
there
in
the
foreground
and
how
it's
really
going
to
bring
on
a
new
compliment
to
the
new
market
district
in
the
city
at
large.
You
can
see
the
energy
and
vitality
that
this
building
will
contribute
to
the
neighborhood
next
slide.
AF
This
is
a
view
from
the
opposite
edge
of
proctor
street
and
clifford
playground
you're.
Seeing
the
dining
commons
in
the
foreground
and
again,
the
main
entry
would
be
to
the
far
right
hand,
side
and
we're
also
playing
with
the
the
edges
of
the
facade
to
create
a
nice
undulation
of
the
brickwork
and
of
the
panel
work
to
give
the
building
some
nice
depth
and
scale
next
slide.
AF
AE
Thanks
jonathan,
just
wrapping
up
a
few
things
I
do
with
the
sustainability,
it
will
be
an
all-electric
building.
There
will
be
no
fossil
fuels
coming
into
this
building.
So
we're
very
delighted
about
that.
AE
We
are
looking
to
break
ground
in
in
february.
It
will
be
constructed
by
our
neighbor
suffolk
construction
by
the
public
procurement
chapter,
149
a
process
and
look
to
occupy
in
2024
and
then
just
to
highlight
some
of
the
design
features
that
you
know
sort
of
came
out
of
this
process
jonathan
mentioned,
but
both
the
sidewalks
on
magazine
street
and
proctor
street
have
been
widened
and
expanded
at
the
request
of
the
community
and
the
urban
design.
Folks,
the
bike
storage
has
been
moved
and
greatly
approved.
AE
I
think
pick
up
and
drop
off
dan
mentioned.
You
know
it's
incumbent
upon
us
to
make
sure
we
don't
create
traffic
jams
out
there.
So
we've
we
will
continue
to
work
with
the
folks
in
the
parks
department
to
accommodate
our
pickup
and
drop
off
morning
and
afternoon,
but
not
take
street
parking,
which
is
valuable
down
around
there
and,
of
course,
we'll
be
continuing
to
work
with
the
parks
department
to
make
sure
that
our
use
of
the
park
does
in
no
way.
AE
You
know
defer,
hurt
anybody
else's
use
of
the
park
and
in
fact
we
look
forward
to
being
a
you
know
benefiting
department.
So
with
that
we'll
open
it
up,
we're
done.
A
Awesome
well,
thank
you!
Thank
you,
so
so,
just
as
just
to
kick
off
the
questioning,
this
is
a
it's
an
interesting
place
to
locate
a
school.
I'm
curious
about,
and
the
design
looks
great
I
mean
it
looks
like
it's
gonna,
be
an
amazing
facility
that
these
students
deserve.
So
I'm
very
happy
about
that.
A
What
you
know
it's
in
some
of
the
concerns
or
or
or
letters
that
we've
gotten
and
just
mine
as
well
as
you
know
what
what
type
of
mitigations
or
or
what's
going
to
be
done
to
you
know,
make
the
area
right
new
market,
maybe
not
the
first
place,
I
think,
to
go
to
school,
to
make
that
a
a
safe
and
conducive
place
for
for
learning
and
for
our
you
know
for
our
young
young
leaders,
so
anything
anything
along
those
lines.
I'd
appreciate.
AE
Yeah,
I
think,
and
and
a
good
question
and
one
we've
considered
deeply
touched
on
a
few
things
and
then,
if
john
varela
is
on
the
line
here,
I
I
hope
he's
the
regional
director
for
roxbury
prep,
but
he
can
also
talk
a
little
bit
about
it
more
directly,
but
I
think
you
know
we're
certainly
aware
of
what's
going
on
down
there
and
the
efforts
to
you
know
turn
things
around.
If
you
will.
AE
First
of
all,
I
think
you
know
we're
part
of
the
solution,
not
part
of
the
problem.
I
think,
bringing
you
know
this
kind
of
investment,
this
kind
of
institutional,
stable
user
down
there
putting
eyes
on
the
park
putting
eyes
on
proctor
street
will
greatly
enhance,
I
think,
a
lot
of
what's
going
down.
There
went
on
down
there.
I
think
that
you
know
with
respect
to
our
students
coming
and
going.
These
are
high
school
students
they're.
AE
Certainly
you
know
old
enough,
I
think
to
transverse
the
neighborhood
safely
and
again
I
just
think
it's
a
you
know
a
good,
regular
presence
that
will
help
out.
We
look
to
activate
proctor
street
quite
a
bit
with
800
students
coming
and
going
again
right
opposite
the
park.
We
look
to
utilize
the
park.
AE
We
look
to
work
with
parks,
we've
already
already
offered
financial
mitigation
funds
and
and
we'll
have
ongoing
discussions
with
parks
to
make
sure
that
clifford
park
is
everything
it
should
be
working
with
our
you
know
our
neighbors
at
the
base
and
the
mason
school.
So
those
are
a
couple
of
things.
You
know
that
we
have
in
mind,
but.
A
Yeah
yeah,
that's
great,
and
let
me
be
clear,
I
mean
I
want
to
give
you
know
the
other
people.
You
mentioned
a
chance
to
respond
as
well.
You
know
I
am
I'm
absolutely
like
for
the
building
of
this
school.
This
is
more
and
maybe
it's
less
of
a
question
for
you
and
more
for
our
us
at
the
agency.
But
what
are
what
are
we
doing?
You
know
like
what
do
I
have
to
do
like?
What
do
we
are?
A
What
are
we
doing
as
a
city
to
to
ready
this
area
and
invest
in
this
area
appropriately?
So
that
way,
you
know
we
do
create
a
you
know
a
safe,
and
you
know
environment,
for
for
these
children
right.
So
so
again,
whoever
can
speak
to
that.
You
know
be
appreciated,
but
more
being
like
what
do
we
got?
You
know
what
do
we?
What
can
we
do
right?
What
are
we?
What
are
our
plans
to
do
right
from
the
city
from
a
city
perspective.
AE
AG
Yeah
bob
thanks:
I
can
jump
in
good
evening.
Everyone.
My
name
is
john
burley,
I'm
the
senior
director
at
roxbury
prep.
Thank
you
for
this
time
today,
so
to
to
address
your
question
about
what
can
we
do
as
a
community
as
a
as
a
city
and
as
a
state,
I
will
say
that
that
work
is
starting
and
has
been
ongoing,
there's
so
many
dedicated
members
of
the
new
market
community
who
were
are
working
to
improve
this
community,
and
so
just
this
week
alone,
now
senator
elect
liz
miranda.
Who
represents
this
district?
AG
As
a
state
representative,
had
a
joint
meeting
mayor
wu
came
down,
the
new
police
commissioner
came
down
all
the
community.
Members
walked
the
area
and
then
had
a
joint
meeting
together
to
kind
of
talk
about
the
issues
that
face
this
community
and
it
was
really
great
to
see
and
roxbury.
Prep
is
really
looking
forward
to
being
part
of
that
solution,
and
so,
where
we
have
built
schools
and
occupied
schools
in
the
past,
it
has
been
an
improvement
to
the
community.
AG
You
know
having
800
students
and
faculty
there
in
a
zone
that
is
currently
just
open
space,
and
you
know
attracts
elements
that,
may
you
know
that
a
school
will
will
change,
and
so
we're
hopeful
and
there's
a
lot
of
investment
in
the
community
and
there's
a
lot
of
hope
right
now
and
a
lot
of
work
being
done.
And
so
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
joint
effort
from
both
the
city
and
the
state
working
together
and
that
meaning
that
I
attended
this
this
week
was
really
exciting
to
see.
AE
And
one
specific,
I'm
sorry
just
to
throw
it
out
the
the
business
improvement
district,
I
think
is,
is
a
real,
concrete
sign
of
that
progress.
AD
And
I'm
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
to
address
the
question
chair
robots
about
what
is
the
city
doing
so,
one
of
the
biggest
initiatives
that
this
agency
is
undertaking
in
the
area
is
planned
new
market,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
and
this
neighborhood
new
market
was
the
designated
industrial
area
for
when
a
lot
of
the
food
distribution
and
urban
industrial
uses
that
were
located
just
to
us
here
in
city
hall,
moved
out
from
quincy
market
and
faneuil
hall
and
went
into
that
area.
AD
So
the
public
realms,
specifically
the
streets
and
sidewalks,
were
designed
for
essentially
a
lowest
common
denominator
of.
How
do
we
move
goods
in
and
out?
You
know
how
do
we
get
turning
radii
for
trucks
and
the
the
t
station?
The
new
market,
fairmount
line,
stop
didn't
exist
at
the
time,
that's
a
relatively
new
station
and
so
through
playing
new
market
number
one
in
terms
of
safety
and
public
realm.
AD
What
we're
looking
at
is
moving
away
from
this
model
of
the
lowest
common
denominator,
that
every
street
needs
to
serve
the
most
demanding
truck
user
and
move
into
creating
a
hierarchy
of
streets
where
the
streets
and
sidewalks
will
be
safe
for
all
users
and
all
modes,
and
that's
not
necessarily
to
the
detriment
of
trucks
that
still
need
to
get
in
and
out.
AD
But
certainly
proctor
street
is
a
street
that
is
looked
at
as
not
a
critical
corridor
for
freight
in
an
area
that
planned
new
market
is
going
to
be
making
recommendations
for
public
works
and
the
transportation
department
to
make
improvements
to
make
it
more
pedestrian
friendly
and
that's
proctor
street.
But
especially
magazine
street
is
the
only
street
that
connects
east-west
in
from
roxbury
into
new
market.
And
so
that's
actually
a
critical
corridor.
AD
That's
been
identified
and
planned
new
market
as
an
area
for
future
public
investment
to
make
it
a
connector
that
is
suitable
for
for
all
of
our
users,
especially
vulnerable
road
users,
including
pedestrians,
many
of
whom
will
eventually
likely
be
the
students
that
would
attend
this
school.
So
that's
a
little
bit
on
the
public
realm
and
how
plain
new
market
seeks
to
address
that.
AD
Plan
new
market
right
now
is
looking
to
have
a
draft
plan
wrapped
up
around
year's
end,
and
ideally
I
after
we
bring
the
draft
plan
to
the
community
and
stakeholders
for
vetting.
I
hope
to
be
before
you
again
on
my
own
agenda
item
for
the
plan
itself,
perhaps
around
january,
and
so
after
the
board
reviews
it
presuming
that
there
is
adoption
of
the
plan
at
some
point
over
the
winter.
A
Okay,
just
as
a
you
know,.
A
A
To
be
included
that
please
and
thank
you
so,
but
do
any
other
any
other
board.
Members
have
questions
or
comments.
E
I
have
a
question
to
you,
but
I
think
you
best
suited
before
that.
In
the
comments
I
think
it's
perfect
place
for
schools.
Anything
that
area
needs
is
more
light,
more
activity,
more
people
watching
and
complaining.
That's
the
problem.
The
sun
goes
down,
there's
nobody
being
nobody
sees
it
and
that's
why
it
happens
until
the
morning
when
the
sun
comes
up
and
then
the
disbursement
happens,
but
so
I
think
it's
a
great
spot
and
you
know
you're
not
sheltering
any
of
these
kids.
They
live
within
a
couple
of
miles
without
seeing
practically
every
day.
E
Unfortunately,
my
question
bob,
I
saw
that
suffolk
was
hired
great
contract,
the
neighborhood
contractor
and
I
see
the
commitment
to
the
building
trades.
How
is
it
being
bit.
AE
Yeah,
mr
monahan,
so
this
would
be
under
chapter
149.
Our
intention
is
to
proceed
through
chapter
149,
a
which
allows
us,
of
course,
to
hire
suffolk
as
our
construction
manager
and
then
the
you
know,
the
series
of
trades
sub-trades
that
are
identified
in
the
law
will
go
out
as
a
filed.
Sub-Bit,
that's
you
know
worth
probably
about
half
the
value
of
the
construction
that
most
of
the
mep
trades
and
a
new
number
of
others,
painting
and
whatnot.
AE
Those
will
be
low
bid
to
qualified
contractors.
We
are
going
through
the
pre-qualification
process
as
we
speak
and
you
know
there's
a
process
to
make
sure
we
have
good
solid
firms
and
then
suffolk
will
will
go
out
and
solicit
bids
for
the
non-filed
trade
and,
of
course
you
know
as
a
signatory,
they
will
be
certainly
with
certain
trades.
Only
looking
at
union
contractors,
everything.
E
I
appreciate
it
I'm
not
very
familiar
with
the
law,
but
that
that's
really
not
a
commitment
because
of
the
files
which
isn't
your
problem.
I
mean
that's
the
law,
you
know,
so
it's
really
not
a
building
trades
job
yet
and
probably
will
not
be
based
on
history.
So
you'll
have
companies
not
from
the
area
you
won't.
They
will
have
to
comply.
I
assume
with
the
boston
plan.
Yes,
absolutely,
and
certainly
in
the
prequals
there's,
certainly
things
you
can
do
to.
E
C
C
This
is
also
an
area
where
there
are
a
great
many
different
stakeholders
and
actors,
light
industry
and
transportation
and
kent
head
mass
ave
with
with
the
city
and
just
a
lot
of
stuff
going
on
and-
and
I
wonder
who
you
anticipate.
C
Can
really
take
a
lead
role
in
assuring
that
five
years
from
now,
the
kind
of
mission
that
you're
setting
for
the
school
in
the
context
of
how
the
school
networks
with
the
neighborhood,
who
you
anticipate,
is
really
going
to
be
taking
the
lead
to
carry
out
the
the
kind
of
ambitious
social
and
neighborhood
cultural
plans
that
that
you're
putting
forward
here
and
it
may
be.
That
ted
is
one
who
has
to
address
that.
AE
Well,
I'll
give
you
a
quick
answer,
I
think,
which
is
a
very
and
it's
an
evolving
neighborhood,
as
we
know
as
well.
You're,
absolutely
correct,
I
think
you
know
we
have
been
reaching
out
and
and
speaking
with
a
lot
of
the
institutions
in
the
neighborhood
mason
school,
the
base,
the
the
food
bank.
You
know
these
are.
These
are
public
and
nonprofit
institutions
which
frankly
seem
to
be.
AE
You
have
some
of
the
best
best
staying
power
and
the
most
interest
in
in
changing
things,
and
I
think
that
so
I
would
suggest
that
you
know
a
collaboration
with
those
groups
which
has
already
started.
You
know
will
be
a
potential
leader
with
that
john
verley.
I
think
it
might
be
a
good
opportunity
for
you
just
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
this,
because
you've
been
forging
most
of
those
relationships,
and
I
know
you
have
some
ideas.
AG
Yeah,
you
know
we
have
spent
the
last
six
months
meeting
with
members
of
the
community
from
the
red
cross
down
the
street
on
proctor
street
to
the
greater
boston
food
bank,
the
base,
which
has
been
a
great
partner,
and
we
look
to
have
a
great
partnership
moving
forward
because
we
both
serve
boston,
youth
through
education
and
sports,
and
a
very
similar
mission
look
forward
to
working
directly
with
the
mason
school,
which
will
be.
AG
You
know,
an
immediate
neighbor
and
we
are
already
a
customer
of
city,
fresh
foods,
which
is
doing
an
expansion
right
down
on
shirley
street.
And
so
it
is
a
community
that
I
have
found
is
really
dedicated
to
working
together
and
we
have
been
really
welcomed
with
open
arms.
And
it's
been
really
great
to
see
it's
a
community
that
is
looking
forward
to
working
together,
and
I
want
to
say
that
sue
sullivan
from
the
new
market
business
association
has
been
a
great
leader
and
a
great
partner.
AG
And
we
have
worked
with
her
carefully
over
the
last
several
months.
And
she
is
a
great
supporter.
We
look
forward
to
joining
the
new
market
bid
and
she's
already
started
great
programs
where
she
has
hired
about
30
members
of
the
community.
Who
used
to
be
you
know
down
in
the
encampment
of
mass
and
cass,
were
now
working
to
clean
up
the
park
and
work
in
the
neighborhood,
and
so
it
was
those
kind
of
efforts
that
have
already
started
that
we
look
forward
to
joining
in
and
being
a
an
active
member
and
going
forward.
AE
It
would
be
remiss
if
we
also
just
didn't
mention
suffolk,
you
know
our
neighbor,
which
is,
is
you
know
there
to
stay,
and
their
leadership
shows.
AE
A
Okay,
additional
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
A
Okay,
so.
A
You
know,
I
think
you
have
definitely
waited
long
enough
to
find
to
find
a
home
for
these
children
and
in
their
education.
So
so
I
don't
want
to
delay
any
further
and
and-
and
we
have
an
obligation
as
a
community
to
you
know
to
help
to
to
prepare
the
neighborhood
and
everything
I
you
know.
There
definitely
is
a
willingness.
A
I
know
that's
there
and
I
do
think
that
the
school
is
going
to
be
a
a
transformative
element,
not
only
for
this
area
for
the
city,
but
but
you
know,
for
all
the
city
in
the
world.
You've
got
such
great
students
so
anyway,
I
believe
emotion
is
in
order
now
so
moved.
A
S
AE
S
A
Okay,
director
bohemia:
should
we
take
one
more?
Should
we
take
a
break,
let's
take
a
break?
Okay.
Yes,
so
we're
gonna
take
a
five
minute
recess
before
we
commence
our
the
public
hearing
portion
of
our
agenda.
So
it
is
what
time
is
it
I'm
sorry,
my
my
own
full
screen,
5
5
34.,
let's
just
let's
just
start
at
5
40.,
so
we'll
do
them
at
5,
40.,
okay,.
C
And
I
will
be
recusing
myself
from
the
first
of
those
hearings,
so
I'll
be
back
when
that
hearing
is
over
perfect.

AI
Thank
you,
madam
chair
secretary,
paulimus
and
members
of
the
board.
The
proposal
for
you
is
for
the
fifth
amendment
to
the
northeastern
university
2013-2020
institutional
master
plan.
AI
The
proposed
amendment
would
allow
the
university
to
complete
a
renovation
of
their
snell
library,
building,
consisting
of
approximately
138
000
interior
square
feet
and
a
new
2500
square
foot
addition
to
enclosed
existing
atrium
space.
Their
innovation
would
allow
the
university
to
provide
modern
study
space
that
meets
the
needs
of
21st
century
students.
AI
The
proposed
project
does
not
meet
the
threshold
of
substantial
renovation
and
therefore
does
not
qualify
for
a
large
project
review.
This
amendment
also
qualified
for
an
expedited
review
procedure.
A
task
force
meeting
was
held
on
july,
13
2022,
and
the
amendment
was
well
received
by
the
task
force
members
in
attendance.
AI
A
AJ
Thank
you
quinn,
good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
chief
jameson
secretary
prolimas.
My
name
is
victoria
abellina
and
I'm
an
associate
vice
president
for
campus
planning
and
design
at
northeastern
university.
AJ
We
are
here
today
because
we
are
requesting
a
fifth
amendment
to
our
institutional
master
plan
for
the
renovation
and
minor
expansion
of
the
interior
flower
library.
Next
slide,
please
build
a
1990s.
Snell
library
is
located
in
the
core
of
our
campus
along
the
mbta
tracks
on
one
side
and
surrounded
by
academic
buildings.
On
the
other
three
sides,
the
total
square
footage
of
our
building
is
246
000
square
feet.
AJ
Next
slide,
please,
the
total
renovation,
as
quinn
mentioned,
is
130
000
square
feet
and
will
provide
updates
to
the
library
that
will
enhance
the
student
experience,
locate
appropriate
resources
and
centralized
areas
and
help
deliver
the
goals
of
the
university
to
students
faculty
and
our
staff,
the
repurposed
basement,
so
the
diagrams
on
the
side.
The
plan
diagrams
on
the
side
show
the
extent
of
renovation,
so
everything
that's
in
color
is
renovation.
Everything
that's
great
will
remain
the
same.
AJ
So
the
purpose
repurposed
basement
will
feature
archives
and
special
collections
that
we're
famous
for
the
first
floor
will
support
events
and
programming.
The
second
floor
will
feature
an
experiential
learning
center
and
creativity
hub.
AJ
The
priority
for
us
is
to
provide
student
study
space
throughout
the
renovation
work,
but
also
to
complete
this
to
bring
this
library
to
the
way
students,
study
and
research
in
21st
century,
and
with
that,
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
ben
to
describe
some
of
our
community
initiatives
and
I'll
be
available
for
questions.
Then
next
slide.
Please.
AK
Many
of
the
records
of
local
community
organizations
and
we've
actually
expanded
that
greatly
with
our
boston
research
center
initiative,
we're
expanding
the
footprint
of
archives
and
special
collections,
as
as
victoria
mentioned
on
the
lower
level
and
working
to
archive
social
justice
movements
in
boston,
neighborhood
histories
and
culture
and
the
records
of
community
groups,
and
this
will
give
us
a
larger
footprint
to
do
that.
Work.
These
archives
and
special
collections
are
open
to
the
community.
AK
We
have
an
open
door
policy
for
visiting
archives
and
special
collections,
and
it's
going
to
be
in
a
much
brighter
and
glass
enclosed
space
that
people
can
work
in
to
look
at
these
important
records,
the
history
and
culture
of
boston.
We
are
also
expanding
our
community
programming.
We
have
long
had
a
neighborhood
matters
series
and,
as
victoria
mentioned,
the
modest
increase
in
the
footprint
in
the
atrium
space,
which
will
also
be
glass
and
closed,
so
people
can
see
in
is
going
to
be
completely
open
to
the
public.
AK
So
when
we
have
these
series
on
that
feature,
our
archives
and
special
collections,
the
public
will
be
able
to
see
that
from
the
outside
come
in
visit
with
us
participate
and
there'll
be
many
opportunities
for
community
members
to
work
with
or
librarians
and
archivists
that
can
occur
in
this
more
open
and
easily
accessible
events.
Space.
AK
We're
also
proud
of
our
work
with
the
boston
public
schools.
I'll
just
mention
briefly
that
we've
been
leveraging
northeastern's
relationships
with
academic
publishers
to
make
more
content
accessible
to
boston,
public
school
students
for
free
recently,
for
instance,
we
licensed
the
jove
series
of
science
videos
it's
over.
Ten
thousand
introduction
videos
to
the
practice
of
science
and
technology,
lab
work,
bench
science
and
as
part
of
our
negotiation
with
the
publisher
that
produces
those
videos.
AK
We
asked
for
and
received
free
access
for
all
boston,
public
school
students
and
instructors
so
that
they
can
make
use
of
this
drove
real
treasure
of
videos
as
well,
we're
also
working
with
various
boston,
public
school
educators.
On
integrating
information
from
our
collections
from
archives
into
the
curriculum.
We
have
something
called
teaching
with
archives
where
students,
dozens
of
classes
a
year
from
bps
actually
come
into
our
building
and
work
directly
with
the
physical
objects.
AJ
And
this
concludes
our
presentation
and
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
board
might
have.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
AB
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
Definitely,
I
definitely
agree.
You
know,
I
think,
the
more
that
we
can
get
our
you
know
our
young
minds,
you
know
into
into
higher
education
like
learning
spaces,
and
that
really
just
helps
and
does
wonders
to
to
demystify
kind
of
whether
or
not
you
can
kind
of
see
yourself
there
so
it
it
worked
for
me
and
I'm
you
know,
super
excited
and
and
and
thankful
that
that
you're
providing
that
service.
So
all
right,
if
there
are
no
further
comments
emotionally.
A
F
All
right,
I'm
gonna,
start
to
take
testimony
that
gary
walker.
You
could
have
mute
yourself.
E

elected
jefferson,
gary

turn
to

offer

W
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
dr
jemison
and
secretary
bohemos.
My
name
is
kathleen
onofer
and
I'm
with
downtown
neighborhood
planning.
This
project
site
does
not
have
a
recent
area
or
neighborhood
plan,
so
the
planning
context
was
evaluated
based
on
recent
city-wide
plans,
including
plans
addressing
housing,
transportation
and
overall,
comprehensive
planning
in
imagine,
boston,
2030..
W
The
planning
context
was
also
established
by
the
surrounding
mixed
use:
context
of
the
neighborhood,
the
underlying
zoning
for
the
site
and
the
needs
of
adaptive
reuse
of
a
historic
building
in
the
fort
point
landmark.
District
design
review
for
the
project
emphasized
the
historic
character
of
this
landmark
building
while
sensitively
addressing
new
zoning
requirements
for
resiliency
in
the
coastal
flood
resiliency
overlay
district,
as
well
as
requirements
for
bicycle
parking.
W
X
Great
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
boards
director
jefferson
secretary
polymas.
Thank
you
for
having
us
this
evening.
My
name
is
joe
imperato.
I
am.
I
manage
development
for
gi
partners
and
just
briefly
a
little
bit
about
gi,
so
we
specialize
in
science,
technology
and
infrastructure
real
estate.
More
specifically,
we
operate
about
8
million
square
feet
of
data,
centers
life,
science,
buildings
and
specialty
use
facilities.
For
you
know,
companies
like
aerospace
and
defense
and
technology
contractors.
X
X
We
own
and
operate
several
properties
in
and
around
boston,
including
451
d
street,
which
is
a
couple
of
blocks
away.
Blackstone
science
center
over
in
cambridge
and
51
mulcher,
which
my
colleague
greg
lusky
who's.
Our
project
manager
is
going
to
dive
into
some
of
the
details
in
a
minute,
but
we're
excited
to
present
this
project
which,
as
nick
mentioned,
proposes
to
reuse
an
older
vacant-built
office
building
and
make
it
a
research
and
development
building
which
will
what
we're
targeting
is
to
eliminate
direct
fossil
fuel
usage.
X
As
nick
mentioned,
we're
at
97
we're
trying
to
figure
an
alternative
for
that
last
three
percent.
So
that's
something
that
we're
really
excited
about,
but
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
one
second
to
just
mention
something
that
you
know.
We
agree
that
the
goal
of
the
article
leading
process
should
be
a
meaningful
collaboration
between
you
know,
a
proponent,
the
city,
the
public
and
the
iag's
role
has
been
invaluable.
X
You
know:
we've
undertaken
an
aggressive
community
outreach
effort
over
the
last
nine
months
we've
been
at
this
since
january,
we've
held
several
meetings:
open
houses
for
the
neighbors,
while
meeting
directly
with
the
the
ihe
about
three
times,
and
we
we
recognize
that,
like
the
life
science
industry
and
the
work
that's
conducted
in
these
research
laboratories
is
new
to
the
public,
and
the
misinformation
and
confusion
about
facts
can
can
be
a
result
of
that.
X
As
you
may
be
aware,
we've
engaged
in
a
long
and
I'd
like
to
say
productive
public
process
with
eig
and
have
made
a
number
of
changes
and
concessions
to
address
the
issues
they've
raised,
and
although
it's
been
at
a
great
cost
of
the
project,
we
may
not
agree
eye
to
eye
on
everything.
We
do
feel
that
the
project
is
is
better
as
a
result
of
of
their
input.
Just
like
the
effort
we
went
through
with
the
igbc
to
you
know,
we
had
a
much
lower
fossil
fuel
reduction.
X
X
There's
about
100,
there's
over
120
000
people
in
massachusetts
alone
that
work
in
these
buildings
every
day
and
there's
over
45
million
square
feet
of
this
space,
just
in
the
boston,
cambridge,
immediate
area
alone,
and
that
space
has
been
around
for
a
long
time.
But
you
know
we
understand
the
concerns
and
we've
tried
to
make
commitments,
including
sound
proofing,
the
walls
making
restrictions
on
the
bearing
amuse,
providing
access
to
our
community
space
and
a
number
of
other
things.
But
you
know
we
also
understand
the
community
process
doesn't
end
tonight.
X
We
are
we
we're
we're
part
of
the
neighborhood
and
so
we're
committed
to
continuing
the
work
with
the
community
and
keeping
them
involved
through
the
construction,
and
the
last
point
I'd
like
to
make
and
I'm
going
to
stop
blabbing
and
turn
it
over
to
greg.
Is
that
I
appreciate
the
the
decency
I
think,
with
all
parties
engaged
here.
I
think
these
days
it's
easy,
especially
behind
the
zoom
screen
to
something
maybe
take.
X
Take
the
low
road
take
a
low
blow
here
or
there,
but
I
think
everyone
in
this
process,
you
don't
see
eye
to
eye
everyone's
treated
each
other,
like
a
person
and
on
a
personal
level.
I
appreciate
that
and
despite
maybe
what
tom
and
sarah
lauren
they
say,
I
sincerely
thank
them
for
all
their
effort,
and
so
with
that
I'll
start
talking
and
hand
things
over
to
greg
lasky
who's,
our
project
manager,
with
leggett
mccall.
AN
AN
We
are
very
much
looking
to
preserve
the
historical
character
of
the
building
as
you'll
see
in
the
the
forthcoming
slides,
where
we've
been
very
mindful
about
how
we
approach
any
adjustments
to
the
facade
or
where
we're
placing
rooftop
equipment
and
things
of
that
nature
and
a
big
defining
element
of
that
building
is
the
sky
bridge
that
crosses
over
milton
street
and
where
we're
actually
taking
a
very
proactive
approach
in
maintaining
that
historic
structure
and
finding
a
way
to
revitalize
it
for
the
community
use
in
terms
of
how
we
might
be
able
to
use
it
from
an
artistic
perspective
next
time,
please
so
this
slide
just
represents
the
full
point
neighborhood
and
gives
you
a
location
spot
on
the
property
where
we
are
looking
at
today.
AN
Exactly
thank
you,
and
this
is
just
an
enlarged
portion
to
show
our
neighbors
49
military
in
63
in
our
trip.
Next
time,
thank
you.
These
are
some.
It
just
should
be
existing
building
images
from
various
points,
as
you
can
see
the
sky
bridge,
in
one
view
the
blue
dragon,
which
I
think
is
in
some
sort
of
state
of
potential
redevelopment
I
understand,
and
then
our
name
is
at
49
and
63.
K
AN
Please
so
these
two
slides
are
existing
building
images
from
the
rear
of
the
building
showing
two
of
the
alleyway
loading
docks
that
connect
the
our
building,
as
well
as
our
neighbors
buildings
and
we'll
hone
in
on
some
of
these
in
the
coming
slides
about
some
of
the
upgrades
we'll
be
doing
in
the
stack
of
house
area.
AN
So
thank
you.
So
the
proposed
project
is
a
change
of
use,
converting
a
97,
000,
perfect
building
to
life,
science,
primarily
the
trigger
for
articulating.
AN
As
we
understand
it
would
be,
the
change
of
use
trigger
we're
looking
to
do
minimal,
exterior
improvements,
we're
looking
to
do
no
exterior
improvements,
the
filter,
assuming
the
melting
stream
facade
we're
adding
some
additional
louvers
in
the
necco
court
here,
which
is
the
rear
of
the
building,
we're
revitalizing
a
previous
loading
dock.
That
was.
AN
This
is
enclosed
in
on
the
picture
that
you
see
here
and
we're
adding
some
multi-street
street
escape
improvements
through
the
coordination
with
the
btd
about
some
of
the
needs
they
have
at
military
for
ada
accessibility,
as
well
as
intersection
with
pastry
on
the
interior
and
rooftop
we're
enhancing
the
mechanical
systems
to
support
a
laboratory
environment
and
a
big
thing
that
early
on
the
project
we
took
was
understanding
that
most
of
these
life
science,
buildings,
noise
from
rooftop,
mechanical
or
unsightly
rooftop
mechanicals-
is
what
we
tend
to
hear
in
these
situations.
AN
So
one
of
the
things
that
gi
partners
agreed
to
do
very
early
on
was
to
take
that
out
of
the
equation
and
we
had
created
on-floor
air
handling
units
to
support
each
level
of
the
space,
essentially
taking
least
little
square
footage
out
of
the
equation
in
their
in
their
business
plan
to
mitigate
that
from
a
noise
perspective,
individual
perspective
and
then,
lastly,
here
we're
doing
no
on-site
parking,
that's
existing
or
anything
that
we
are
proposing
excited.
Please.
AN
Thank
you.
So
this
is
a
couple
of
pictures
of
the
revitalized
loading
dock
that
we're
undertaking
the
existing
generator
and
electrical
equipment.
That's
there
now.
The
bottom
picture
shows
it
in
an
elevated
fashion,
in
subsequent
review
with
landmarks
we
and
work
with
eversource
we've
been
able
to
work
through
and
not
not
requiring
the
need
to
elevate
the
power
source
equipment.
We
are,
however,
still
elevating
the
need
for
the
generator
to
support
flood
elevations
from
2017
and
then
on
the
other
loading
dock.
AN
It's
just
minimal
upgrades
for
another
piece
of
ever
source
equipment
thanks
a
lot,
please
thank
you.
So
this
is
the
other
loading
dock,
so,
where
I
mentioned
a
moment
ago
about
the
on-floor
air
handling
units,
these
windows
that
we're
actually
taking
out
is
leaving
the
existing
facade
intact
and
we're
replacing
it
with
a
louver
that
supports
the
intake
necessary
for
those
on-floor,
a
handling
units
that
is
the
essentially
the
limit
of
what
we
find
ourselves
for
sharing
improvements,
and
that
is
in
the
cove
of
the
alley
of
the
back
of
the
building.
AN
So
this
is
a
few
photos
that
shows
rendered
images
of
coming
from
a
street
looking
down
the
alleyway,
if
you
would
see
any
mechanical
at
the
rooftop
so
from
these
renderings,
the
existing
building
is
on
the
left
and
the
rendered
image
on
the
right,
showing
what
may
or
may
not
be
there
from
any
of
the
views
that
you're
looking
from
in
this
instance.
It's
you've
not
seen
anything
next
slide.
Please.
AN
Slide
there
we
go
okay,
so
this
is
showing
from
the
front
of
the
building.
So
again,
the
top
image
is
the
existing
image
and
the
bottom
image
is
the
render
to
the
future
state
of
the
building.
As
you
can
see
here,
there's
minimal
visual
impact
from
most
aspects
of
the
building
next
slide.
Please
thank
you
and
then
this
is
looking
down
on
melton
street.
As
you
see
this
guy
bridge
there
and
again
minimal
visual
impact
from
this
angle
of
the
building
as
well.
AN
So
this
one
is
taking
a
step
back
further,
it's
very,
very
difficult
to
see,
but
on
the
left
hand,
side
is
the
existing
condition
of
the
building.
On
the
right
hand,
side
you
can
see
just
a
little
bit
of
the
flue
in
the
gray
top
of
the
building.
There
is
the
only
protruding
image
that
you
may
have
from
any
visual
impact
next
slide.
Please.
AN
Well,
that's
louis.
The
next
slide
should
be
visual
reference
points
of
line
of
sight
from
reaching
some
properties,
as
we
may
or
may
not
be
able
to
see
the
equipment.
AN
Yep
we're
only
just
a
few
slides
away,
so
hopefully
it's
been
it's
treating
us
not
too
badly
so
far,
so
this
is
various
angles:
identifying
the
the
new
rooftop
equipment
that
we'll
find
and
showing
line
of
sight
from
various
points
around
the
neighborhood.
AN
Thank
you.
The
next
aspect
here
is
the
improvements
to
melter
street.
So
we've
worked
extensively
extensively
with
the
btd
to
identify
some
needs
for
upgrades
along
a
street
and
melted
street.
So,
amongst
the
things
we've
agreed
to
do
is
resetting
a
curbing
along
military
street
along
from
the
property,
and
I
think
we
go
over
across
the
past
nico
street
as
well,
and
that
is
to
improve
ada
accessibility
with.
I
think
it's
I
believe
in
this
instance.
AN
It's
a
crosstalk
challenge
on
accessibility,
as
well
as
improving
the
intersection
for
accessibility,
a3
as
well.
Furthermore,
our
consultant
vhp
has
produced
or
will
produce
a
design
for
the
remainder
of
the
property,
which
means
the
mandrel
of
military
street
for
any
other
necessary
improvements
that
the
btd
can
take
that
forth
and
decide
how
they
need
to
use
that
in
future.
AL
AN
Lastly,
so
gi
partners
has
has
a
vested
interest
in
the
esg
community
and
has
been
a
responsible
partner
of
part
of
the
signatory
of
the
principles
of
responsible
investing
since
2018.,
as
we
mentioned
earlier
on.
This
is
a
going
to
be
a
gold
certified
lead
building,
it
will
conform
with
seafraud
and
article
25a,
as
well
as
we're
adding
deployable
flood
barriers
at
the
existing
openings
to
support
all
those
mitigation
efforts
to
make
it
in
compliance.
AN
I
believe
that's
the
last
slide,
so
thank
you
very
much
and
I
will
turn
it
back
over.
A
Okay,
great
so
so
this
is
a
public
hearing,
so
we
will
do
board
comments
after
we
hear
testimony
from
the
public,
so
secretary
pohas
do
we
have
anyone
that
would
like
to
testify
sure.
D
Thank
you,
I'm
ready
here.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
chief
jefferson
secretary,
paul
james.
My
name
is
tom
brady.
I
live
at
21
wormwood
street
around
the
corner
from
51
melcher
on
the
impact
advisory
group
and
a
member
of
fp,
a
the
neighborhood
civic
association
that
covers
the
south
boston
waterfront,
including
fort
point.
D
I
recognize
that
our
neighborhood
is
mixed
use
and
you
would
probably
see
it
as
an
employment
hub
for
close
to
45
000
workers
right
the
seaport
people
would
nod
their
head
and
say
yet
that's
what
the
seaport
is.
Honestly,
the
people
that
live
there
would
recognize
it
as
a
as
a
residential
hub
with
the
number
of
residential
units
now
exceeding
seven
thousand,
so
we're
so
we
recognize
we
live
in
a
mixed
use
environment
and
we
we
respect
that.
It
should
be
noted.
D
We
also
have
more
than
20
buildings,
either
purposely
built
or
being
converted
for
life
sciences
use.
So
clearly
we
are
learning
quickly
what
it
means
to
be
in
a
life
sciences
community.
We
think
we
exercise
judgment
as
we
work
with
developers
in
our
neighborhood.
We
would
just
highlight
that
51
voucher
is
a
little
different
right.
It
is
one
of
three
contiguous
100
year
old,
brick
and
b
buildings
on
melcher
street.
D
As
nick
and
joe
mentioned,
the
neighborhood,
the
iag
fbna
met
numerous
times
with
the
developer
and
the
planning
agency
to
try
to
reach
consensus
on
a
number
of
items
that
we
had
some
concerns
over.
We
were
unable
to
come
to
reasonable
agreement
on
a
number
of
critical
concerns,
including
the
placement
of
wet
labs,
operational
noise
measurement
mitigation,
bavarian
use
those
are
three
that
come
to
mind.
We've
submitted
all
issues
in
writing
to
the
board
and
hopefully,
you'll
get
a
chance
to
go
through
those.
D
AO
Hey
everyone:
my
name
is
lauren
sapko,
I'm
also
on
the
iag
with
tom.
I,
my
condo
is
a
direct,
a
butter
to
the
proposed
project,
so
my
unit
shares
a
wall
with
the
proposed
life
science
labs.
I
am
very
strongly
in
opposition
of
this
project.
For
several
reasons.
I
appreciate
the
developers
compromising
with
the
iag
on
the
construction
noise
that
will
be
excessive,
given
our
experience
with
the
prior
life
science
building
in
the
neighborhood.
So
very
much
appreciate
a
few
of
those
compromises
that
were
made
in
that
space.
AO
My
continued
opposition
is
around
particularly
the
public
health
and
safety
for
which
we
have
not
been
able
to
reach
any
meaningful
compromises
to
date,
with
the
developer
to
play
it
out
a
little
further
bsl
level
2..
I
know
there
were
many
folks
on
the
line
that
that
probably
are
aware
what
that
is.
I
had
to
figure
that
out
throughout
this
process
turns
out.
These
are
infectious
agents,
including
hepatitis
b
and
hiv,
which,
if
this
project
is
approved,
will
be
approved
to
be
tested
through
my
bedroom
wall.
AO
Those,
I
think,
are
the
the
main
points
and
to
reiterate
bsl
level.
2
are
experiments
involving
agents
of
moderate
potential
hazard
to
personnel
and
the
environment.
AO
I
am
very
concerned
for
my
my
health,
as
well
as
the
health
of
my
neighbors,
so
I
appreciate
the
cooperation
and
conversations
to
date.
I
very
strongly
feel
there
are
many
more
needed
in
order
to
come
to
a
compromise
with
the
community
on
the
this
project
to
protect
the

and
public
safety.
Thank
you.
AP
Good
evening,
thank
you,
members
of
the
board
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
this
project.
My
name
is
sarah
mccammon,
I'm
a
member
of
the
fort
point,
neighborhood
association,
team
and
and
the
impact
advisory
group
for
the
project
and
a
resident
for
the
point.
AP
As
has
been
mentioned,
this
is
the
pros
conversion
and
from
office
to
life
sciences,
sandwiched
between
two
historic
wreaking
of
pine
residential
buildings.
Our
neighborhood
treasures
are
brick
and
beam
buildings,
but,
as
many
of
us
can
attest
to
living
and
working
within
them,
the
smells
vibration
and
noises
pass
easily
through
the
porous,
brick
walls.
AP
After
the
careful
examination
must
discussion
with
the
opponent,
the
agency
and
our
neighbors,
we
couldn't
come
to
consensus
and
at
that
conclusion
we
had
to
oppose
this
conversion
as
simply
not
being
the
right
fit
at
51
milcher.
It
was
a
matter
of
the
small
things
and
the
big
things.
For
example,
we
asked
for
four
uses
floor,
uses
of
this
nine
story
building
and
received
no
reply.
We
recently
discovered
that
an
fpa
restricts
use
of
hazardous
materials
and
floors
above
sixth
floor,
which
would
mean
that
floors,
seven
through
nine,
could
not
be
wet
labs.
AP
We
had
requested
dry
computer-based
flat
life,
science,
labs
and
novavarium
this
proponent,
the
preventative
rejected
our
proposal.
For
this
reason,
and
for
others
mentioned
by
my
neighbors,
I
must
oppose
this
project.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
we
leave
with
a
final
thought.
What
would
you
say
or
do
if
life
science
labs
popped
up
on
the
other
side
of
your
wall
of
your
home?
Thank
you.
AQ
Now
I'm
chair
members
of
the
board,
paul
solomon
city,
council,
michael
flaherty,
the
council,
acknowledges
and
as
you've
heard
from
tom
sarah
lauren,
that
there
is
opposition
in
the
neighborhood
he
has.
He
had
fought
hard
for
to
fall
on
this
project
in
the
past,
so
that
the
the
proponents
and
the
neighbors
could
get
together
and
hopefully
come
to
some
sort
of
agreement
on
this
on
this
project.
AQ
He
he
would
acknowledge
that
the
proponent
has
worked
with
community
members
towards
a
consensus.
However,
it
does
feel
that
there
is
some
some
work
left,
but
this
particular
point.
I
would
state
that,
because
the
developer
has
put
their
best
put
forward
on
this
because
they
stay
involved
with
the
neighborhood
throughout
any
sort
of
phases
moving
forward
and
at
this
particular
point
would
support
the
project
moving
forward.
Thank
you.

Members
of
the

madam

jemison,
once
again.
AR
AR
Hi,
my
name
is
camelo,
I
own
a
comedy
unit
in
63
melter
street.
It's
the
building
that
shares
a
wall
with
this
project.
Actually,
everyone
I'm
actually
very
excited
to
see
this
project
coming
to
our
neighborhood.
AR
Ga
partners
has
clearly
shown
that
they
are
very
committed
to
this
community
through
this
very
large
investment
which
will
help
us,
in
the
long
run
their
attention
to
detail
when
it
comes
to
preserving
the
historic
nature.
The
comfort
of
us,
the
existing
neighborhood
tenants,
environmental
care
that
has
been
taken
as
well.
AR
It
makes
me
very
safe
excited
to
see
this
project
come
to
solution,
after
speaking
with
my
significant
other
who
actually
works
in
a
lab
at
the
same
security
level
in
cambridge
and
talking
to
gi
partners
is
become
very
clear
that
this
really,
I
don't
believe,
will
constitute
a
very
big
risk
for
myself
or
anyone
else.
I've
actually
become
very
comfortable
with
the
safety
concerns
that
people
have.
AR
I
think
that
this
will
be
a
great
benefit
to
our
community,
so
many
of
the
workers
having
left
our
neighborhood
during
sort
of
the
work
from
home
and
the
lack
of
office
work,
that's
going
on
to
see
this
old
office
building,
not
only
the
storm
to
its
former
glory
and
beauty.
I
preserve
the
historic
nature
of
it,
but
I
also
bring
a
lot
of
high-paying
jobs
back
to
this
neighborhood.
I'm
very
excited
to
see
this
go
through.
Thank
you.
AM
F
F
I
believe
we
have
completed
our
public
hearing
section
of
this
word
agenda
item.
Okay,.
V
A
V
Have
some
written.
V
Go
ahead,
thank
you
from
council
president
flynn.
Dear
members
of
bpda
board,
I
am
writing
in
opposition
to
the
51
meltrer
street
project,
which
is
on
the
board's
agenda
today.
The
proposal
involves
the
conversion
of
the
existing
97
000
square
feet
of
office,
space
into
life,
science
and
laboratory
use.
V
H
V
Sides,
however,
an
agreement
was
not
able
to
be
reached
as
the
project
stands
right
now.
There
are
concerns
that
will
put
a
budding
resident's
health
and
safety
at
risk
and
that
this
project
will
reduce
neighbors
quality
of
life.
There
are
concerns
on
the
risk
of
biohazard
waste
removal
practices,
as
this
building
shares
the
same
waste
areas
as
surrounding
residents,
residents.
V
V
I've
got
two
more
sorry,
three
more
from
council
member
erin
murphy,
dear
b-p-d-a
board
members.
I
am
writing
in
opposition
to
the
51
melter
street
project.
V
The
proposal
involves
the
conversion
of
the
existing
9700,
sorry
97,
000
square
feet
of
office,
space
into
life,
science
and
laboratory
use.
The
proposal
was
on
the
bpda
board
agenda
previously,
but
removed
so
that
the
community
process
could
continue.
Both
parties
worked
with
the
residents
in
good
faith
and
progress
was
made.
However,
an
agreement
was
not
able
to
be
reached.
There
are
still
concerns
that
this
project
will
put
a
budding
resident's
health
and
safety
at
risk.
V
V
From
ben
smith
hi,
all
it
has
come
to
my
attention
today
that
the
proposal
for
the
life
science
building
at
51
meltre
street
is
going
before
the
bpda
board
for
approval
tonight.
I
am
unable
to
attend
the
meeting
as
I
am
traveling
in
germany,
but
I
strongly
oppose
the
approval
of
this
unit.
I
oppose
this
for
two
main
reasons:
the
noise
and
the
safety
risks
that
will
be
taken
on
by
the
owners,
slash
residents
of
63
milter
street.
V
V
Will
it
be
toxic,
harmful
and
smelly
chemical
materials
traveling
through
ventilation?
I
am
strongly
against
this
type
of
work
being
done
so
close
to
our
condo.
In
addition
to
these
points,
I
am
sure
there
are
riskier
issues
that
come
along
with
work
done
in
a
life
science
building
that
may
not
be
shared
with
residents
in
the
neighborhood.
V
L
V
V
I
have
just
been
informed
that
the
proposal
for
the
life
science
building
at
51
melter
street,
is
going
before
the
bpda
board
for
approval
tonight
as
a
late
addition,
I'm
unable
to
attend
the
meeting
as
I
am
traveling
in
germany,
but
I
strongly
oppose
the
approval
of
this
unit.
I
pose
this
for
two
main
reasons:
the
noise
and
the
safety
risk
that
will
be
taken
on
by
the
owners
and
residents
of
63
milton
street.
V
The
second
main
concern
for
me
is
the
biohazard
safety
risk.
For
a
point.
Melter
street,
in
particular,
is
a
very
quaint
residential
area,
and
I
feel
like
this
is
not
the
place
for
such
business.
Will
there
be
biohazardous
waste
mere
feet
from
our
condo?
Will
there
be
toxic,
harmful
and
smelly
chemicals,
slash
materials
traveling
through
ventilation?
V
I
am
strongly
against
this
type
of
work
being
done
so
close
to
our
condo,
especially
as
we
have
one
young
child
with
one
on
the
way.
In
addition
to
these
points,
I'm
sure
there
are
riskier
issues
that
come
along
with
work
done
in
a
life
science
building
that
may
not
be
shared
with
residents
in
the
neighborhood.
V
V
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
we
will
now
go
through
board
questioning
and
yes,
so
do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
AB
Yeah,
I
have
a
question:
it's.
It
seems
like.
Maybe
the
community
process,
which
has
usually
been
pretty
vigorous,
maybe
wasn't
complete
here.
Some
of
the
comments
I'm
hearing
from
the
residents
and
from
the
elected
officials
just
seemed
that
that
wasn't
complete.
So
I'd
like
to
hear
some
comment
on
that
from
the
development
team.
AN
This
is
greg
wesley,
I
can
take
an
initial
pass
of
that
enjoy
feel
free
to
jump
in
as
necessary,
so
we've
engaged
in
about
nine
months
of
public
practice.
At
this
time
we
had
approximately
151
days
of
public
review
process
and
about
my
took
notes
here
are
13
distinct
engagements
with
the
community
through
open
houses,
iag
meetings
offered
public
meetings
as
well
as
bpda,
hosted
public
meetings.
AN
So
we
have
put
forth
a
good
faith
effort
throughout
this
process
to
educate
the
community
of
what
a
bio
safety
level
one
and
two
is
and
is
not.
You
know
there
are
seems
to
be
some
misconceptions.
You
know,
apollos
have
seen
movies
and
we,
our
knee
jerk
reaction,
is
thinking
that
some
media
are
wearing
those
bubble
suits
and
they
have
respirators
on
and
that's
level
three
and
level
4
life
science.
And
what
we're
doing
here
is
a
truthfully.
AB
X
Sure-
and
maybe
just
just
one
quick
point
to
your
your
last
question-
I
guess
you
could
sort
of
categorize
everything
into
two
categories.
One
is
construction
disruption
and
I
completely
understand
that
the
noise,
the
foot
traffic
deliveries,
all
that
so
completely
understood
construction,
is
not
unique
to
life
science,
so
if
someone's
redeveloping
office
or
residential
or
hotel,
or
anything
that
the
issues
are
going
to
be
the
same.
X
We
have
a
whole
construction
management
plan,
communication
system
that
will
be
set
up
bulletins,
all
sorts
of
stuff
like
that,
so
we're
trying
to
address
a
bunch
of
the
construction
items.
Understandably.
So
that
is
a
concern
in
the
community
and
then
the
other
category
is
sort
of
life
science,
safety
in
general,
which
we've
had
a
couple
of
meetings
where
we've
done.
X
You
know
fairly
extensive
presentations
on
the
infrastructure
that
goes
into
these
buildings
to
to
protect
the
occupants,
as
well
as
the
community
and
the
processes
and
regulations
that
these
end
users
have
to
comply
with,
and,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
beginning,
there's
about
45
million
square
feet
of
mostly
bsl
to
use,
and
that
is
a
lot
of
finite
uses.
Research
on
neurodegenerative
diseases,
mrna
technologies,
cancer,
therapeutics
right,
it's
not
it's
an
r
d
use,
it's
not
industrial.
It's
not
people
and,
like
greg,
said
in
big
suits
with
vats
of
chemicals.
It's
a
controlled
environment.
X
So
I
think
that
is
just
a
bit
on
the
a
process
there
and
then
to
your
question
about
wet
labs.
You
know:
wet
labs,
aren't
really
it's
not
really
like
a
technical
term.
I
mean
a
few
sinks,
could
sort
of
qualify
it
as
a
wet
lab.
I
think
what
tom
moore
and
sarin
have
brought
up
with
sort
of
computer-based
dry
labs.
It's
I
mean
that's
kind
of
just
an
office
right,
so
if
wet
labs
can
include
sinks,
things
like
that
right,
it's
not
a
technical
term.
X
I
think
it's
better
to
refer
to
the
bsl
level
than
to
that,
but,
but
I
think,
what's
sort
of
being
proposed
is
not
by
us,
but
is
a
workshop,
a
makerspace
right.
If
you
have
a
company
that
does
aerospace
and
defense
technology
research,
they
might
have
a
workshop
that
can
be
considered
a
dry
lab
computer
based
stuff,
that's
kind
of
an
office
so.
X
Be
mostly
life
science
based
and
what
we've
done,
because
we
on
d
street,
a
number
of
other
properties
is,
we
did
give
a
number
of
examples
and
some
of
the
ones
that
I
just
mentioned,
of
the
the
tenants
that
will
are
very
similar
to
the
tenants
that
target
this,
that
this
building
will
target
and
those
are
again
ag
science
right
through
research
and
development
on
different
agricultural
proteins
to
reduce
nitrogen
or
fertilizer
consumption.
Neurodegenerative
disease,
research,
cancer,
therapeutics
things
like
that.
A
Thank
you
interesting.
Okay,
so.
A
So
you
have
not,
you
have
not
secured
a
tenant
yet
correct.
A
AH
A
So
what
and
I
am
fully
aware
of
bsa
level,
2
and
and
what
everything
means,
and
I
don't
think,
there's
like
a
need
to
you,
know
kind
of
create
images
of
hazmat
suits
and
things
like
that
right
now.
There
is
risk
here
right.
A
Let's
not
kind
of
just
like
you
know
say
that
there's
none
and
it's
silly.
There
is
right
so
so
I
would
like
to
know.
Right
and
again
I
have
lived
in
in
a
building
that
is
like
those
in
the
four-point
channel
and
lived
in
the
weather
district.
Right
like
these
are
very
temperamental
buildings.
So
can
you
talk
to
what
are
some
of
the
mitigations
that
that
you
are
doing
and
I'm
not
talking
about
construction?
That's
like
a
one-time
thing.
I
mean
we're
talking
about
being
neighbors
and
living
right.
H
AH
A
Tone
off
there,
but
you
know,
is
there
precedence
for
this
in
boston
or
in
cambridge
or
in
any
other
developments
that
you
use
that
you
that
you
have
you
know
built
where
you
are
sharing
an
actual
wall
with
someone's
home,
and
these
walls
in
particular,
are
are
tricky
like
I
I
just
I
lit
that
so
so.
X
Sure,
yeah,
yes,
and
what
we
did
on
the
slides.
We
showed
a
number
of
buildings
that
are
in
proximity
to
or,
and
one
example
of
one
that
I
showed
that
I
personally
worked
in
was
a
building
over
in
cambridge,
which
shared
the
same
two-hour
rated
wall
bsl
to
use
on
one
side,
apartments
on
the
other
side
and
another
example,
is
451
d
street,
our
other
property,
which
that
building
has
a
mix
of
life.
X
Science,
tenants
as
well
as
normal
financial
service
companies,
there's
a
small
data
center
in
there,
and
so
that
use
is
all
co-mingled
into
the
same
building
and
to
address
a
couple
of
things
that
were
brought
up
with
the
walls.
So
there.
Yes,
there
is
a
brick
wall
that
will
be
there,
but
there
will
be
a
two
hour,
rated
seal
right
with
fire
caulking
on
the
top
and
bottom.
X
So
any
lab
use
is
contained
inside
that
we
we
just
wouldn't
as
a
practice,
allow
the
walls
to
be
left
open
and
that
also
mitigates
noise.
But
it
also
seals
everything
and
then
for
things
like
chemical
storage,
which
was
brought
up
before.
X
The
rooms
have
integrated
floor
and
walls
with
epoxy
codes
right.
So
if
something
spills
it
can't
get
up,
it
stays
within
it's
sort
of
built
like
a
bathtub,
with
a
berm
they're
stored
in
safety
cabinets
so
again
there's
a
number
of
those
in
terms
of
waste.
That
was
another
thing
that
was
raised,
and
counselor
flynn
mentioned
that
in
his
letter
this
isn't
curbside
pickup
right
and
so,
if
they're,
soiled,
linens
or
things
like
that,
each
tenant's
space
has
its
own
waste
storage
and
there's
also
building
storage.
X
X
So
so
there's
that
there's
all
kinds
of
other
features-
and
I
don't
want
to
take
everyone's
time-
but
we
did
do
several
sort
of
educational
presentations
to
explain
their
procedures
and
all
the
guidelines
and
regulations,
including
local
board
health,
boston,
fire
isd,
but
up
to
the
cdc
nih
osha
has
requirements.
The
nfpa
national
fire
protection
so
is
a
very,
very
heavy
regulated
use
because
you're
right
there
are,
there
are
risks.
A
A
X
Sure
so
it's
not
easy,
it
is
challenging
and
you
know
take
off
money.
That's
the
biggest
thing
is
that
you
have
to
go
through
extra
structural
procedures
right
so
we'll
have
to
strip
out
the
interiors.
We'll
have
to
do
all
the
construction,
the
stuff
that
I
mentioned
rated
walls,
but
just
with
the
we're
trying
to
electrify
the
building
right.
So
there's
structural,
reinforcing
it's
not
going
to
be
easy,
but
we
do
have
a
good
design
team.
X
That's
experienced
in
this
in
life
sciences
to
design
it
so
and
that's
I
don't
know
if
that
answers
your
question,
but
it's
it's
baked
into
the
design
and
it
is
not
it's
not
easy
in
an
older
building,
but
we're
committed
to
do
it.
AN
If
I,
if
I
may,
I
heard
earlier
that
this
was
a
poston
bean
building,
this
is
originally
a
brick
and
beam
building.
This
is
actually
different
from
the
adjacent
buildings.
This
is
actually
a
steel,
encased,
concrete
column
and
then
concrete
floors.
So
this
building
was
historically
used
as
wool
storage,
so
it
was
manufacturing
and
storage
in
a
prior
life
in
the
flow
loading
and
the
actual
structural
makeup
of
the
building
is
profoundly
different
than
it
would
be
in
brick.
E
Have
a
couple
of
comments
and
questions
joe,
I
think
you're
probably
best
suited
based
on
the
interaction
that
we
just
had.
So
a
lot
of
questions,
a
lot
of
comments
I've
been
listening
to.
Actually
this
build
is
better
than
a
new
building,
because
you
have
thicker
walls,
quite
honest
with
you
and
it's
not
just
work
wall.
E
I've
worked
in
these
buildings.
You've
got
to
have
at
least
four
courses.
You
have
two
courses
of
brick
on
each
side
right
at
least
yep
right,
so
you've
got
four
bricks
laying
on
it
for
the
bottom,
not
on
the
side.
One
two,
three:
four,
not
counting
the
stud
wall,
I'm
not
sure.
If
that
exposed
brick
on
the
other
side,
you're
not
gonna,
probably
have
a
two
by
four
wall.
What
are
you
building
on
your?
What
size
wall,
you're
gonna,
put
two
by
six:
no.
X
E
E
You
could
have
people
up
all
night
and
it
wouldn't
be
a
two
by
six.
It
would
be
a
regular
two
by
four
wall,
with
double
double
five
eighths
and
yeah
gaps,
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
But
on
that
wall,
are
you
going
to
use
that
new
spray
insulation
on
the
on
the
once
you've
got
that
potting
wall?
Are
you
going
to
use
that
new
spray
insulation
on?
I
don't
know
if
we'll
use
that.
X
We
were,
I
think,
what
we
were
planning
to
do
was
the
thermo
fiber,
like
a
rock
salt,
or
something
like
that
right.
That
has
that
you
know
you
target
the
stc
55
rated,
that's
the
sort
of
sound
rating
that
you
target,
so
that
may
be
actually
sufficient.
I
don't
know
which
is
better.
We
could
certainly
study
it,
but
the
stc.
However,
you
get
there
that
stc
55
is
the
target
that
we're
we're
aiming
for
so
tbd
on
the
actual
material,
but
the
key
is
to
hit
that
rating.
E
And
you
are
gonna
through
not
cracking
you're
gonna
use
something
else.
It
is
gonna
be
sealed.
The
whole
entire
wall
will
be
sealed
as
far
as
flowers.
X
I
started
I
was
a
carpenter,
and
so
we
you
have
to
do
that
red
caulking,
that's
the
two-hour
rated
caulking,
so
all
seams,
where
it
meets
that
has
to
get
sealed
so
that
that
assists
as
like
a
smoke
barrier
as
well,
and
it's
a
two
hour
rated
and
I'm
not
a
fire
engineer.
It's
it's
too
out
rated
purposely,
and
I
think
that
means
it's
going
to
take
two
hours
to
work
through
that
and
then
you
have
a
brick
wall
after
that.
E
You
you
adjust
the
weights,
not
the
the
trash,
so
to
speak.
So
that
was
one
of
my
questions
which
a
couple
of
people
on
there
said
they
were
going
to
be
using
the
same
trash
which
isn't
true
and
then,
when
it
comes
to
your
water,
your
sinks,
that's
just
regular,
that's
regular
drains.
X
So,
actually,
it's
a
bit
more.
So
what
is
required
in
the
building
is.
We
are
installing
a
ph
neutralization
system
which
any
lab
sinks
or
appliances
that
connect
to
it
all
flow
into
a
system
that
is
managed
and
is
monitored
daily
and
we
maintain
the
permit
with
the
mwra.
So
we
have
to
get
that
installed.
Certified,
there's
a
whole
process
to
it
and
it's
monitored
daily.
So
if
the
ph
in
it
it's
red
instantly,
so
if
the
ph
gets
too
high,
it
injects
chemicals
to
balance
that
out
right.
X
It
alkalizes
it
to
balance
that
out.
So
you
maintain
that
neutral
ph
that
is
gonna,
be
in
there.
There's
backflow
preventer
on
any
supply
water
that
comes
into
the
building.
So
it's
completely
isolated
from
the
right
from
the
like
the
buildings
next
door.
There's!
No!
I
think
that
that's.
E
Really
the
point
I'm
trying
to
make
is
that
it's
not
there's
not
going
to
be
any
joining
of
these
this
waste
and,
like
you
said,
the
back
hole.
Preventers,
makes
that
point
right
there.
So
it's
an
independent
building,
sealed
off
completely
sealed
off
one
with
and
then
trash
is
sealed
off
and
then
the
waste
from
the
sinks
is
sealed
off.
E
E
C
Yeah,
I
have
a
question
and
and
comments:
what
will
you
do
with
the
building?
If
you
don't
get
the
approval
to
move
forward
with
life
sciences.
X
That's
a
great,
very
good
question.
The
office
market
is,
as
you
probably
all
know,
it's
scenic
yeah.
It's
just
dead
yeah,
I'm
trying
to
put
it
nicely
but
yeah
it's
dead
because
you
know
just
the
change
in
work
from
home
and
everything.
So
it's
going
to
be
challenging
to
you
know,
fill
that
up
so,
but
I
suppose
we
would
have
to
try
to
do
something
like
that,
but
we
don't
want
to
go
down
that
road.
It
was
purchased
with
the
intent.
You
know
that
the
life
science
use
okay.
I.
C
I
I
used
to
live
about
a
hundred
yards
from
this
building
back
when
boston
wharf
company
owned
the
bulk
of
the
real
estate
there
and
I've
been
in
this
building
and
in
most
of
the
others
in
the
neighborhood,
both
when
the
buildings
were
all
about
light
industry
and
then
when
they
became
architects
offices
and
then
when
they
became
condos,
and
these
buildings
are
tough
buildings.
They're
robust,
as
mike
pointed
out
there
they're,
probably
more
robust
than
modern
buildings
are
as
buildings.
C
Although
the
systems
in
a
new
building
are
obviously
more
sophisticated
and
I've
been
involved
with
building
a
power
plant
in
the
middle
of
a
residential
neighborhood
surrounded
by
hospitals,
so
I
understand
some
of
the
risks
that
go
into
building
in
a
community
where
folks
are
very
sensitive
to
the
risks.
And,
frankly
I
have
to
commend
the
the
proponents
here
for
seeking
to
respond
positively
to
the
to
the
community's
concerns
with
that
being
said,
I'm
concerned
that
it's
our
questions
that
have
elicited
more
thorough,
evidence-based
answers.
C
C
You
know
the
community
and
the
elected
officials
are
not
giving
you
knee-jerk
responses,
they're
asking
for
the
kinds
of
data
that
you're
providing
and
I
work
at
a
university.
Now
that
is
turning
out
many
of
the
graduates
who
are
going
to
end
up
working
in
the
kind
of
facility
that
you're
talking
about,
and
I
have
to
say
I
feel
that
it's
a
little
disingenuous
for
you
to
say
when
you
don't
yet
know
who
the
tenants
are
going
to
be
that
these
kinds
of
lab
uses
are
to
use
your
language
kinda
just
in
office.
C
Unquote,
you
don't
know
exactly
what
it's
going
to
be
and
I
believe
that
you're
really
quite
capable
as
a
team,
given
your
experience
of
developing
something
that
can
in
fact
be
safe
and
can
be
accommodated
in
a
light
industrial
neighborhood
of
this
type.
C
But
none
of
us
have
very
much
experience
dealing
with
putting
this
kind
of
just
an
office
use
on
a
party
wall
with
the
residents,
and
what
strikes
me
is
that
you
know
we
tend
to
approve
these
projects
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
C
But
I
think
that
there
is
some
larger
underlying
concerns
that
remain
that
required
further
evidence,
further
data
to
show
what
the
real
consequences
are
of
building
in
this
kind
of
use
on
on
a
butters
wall
where
there
are
people
living
next
door.
C
When
I
was
involved
with
building
a
power
plant
in
the
middle
of
mission
hill,
we
sometimes
found
that
we
had
to
go
abroad
into
the
u.n
to
seek
out
guidelines
engineering
guidelines.
C
That
would
give
us
some
guidance
around
what
was
safe
in
the
community
and
what
isn't-
and
I
I
just
I'm
not
yet
confident
that
the
kinds
of
guidelines
that
you're
putting
forward
here
really
satisfy
the
the
kinds
of
health,
safety
and
welfare
concerns
that
are
raised,
particularly
in
a
neighborhood
which
we
know
is
going
to
be
increasingly
subject
to
flooding.
C
You
know,
maybe
if
I
knew
who
your
tenants
were
I'd,
feel
more
confident,
but
if
I
lived
in,
if
I
still
lived
in
one
of
those
you
know
robustly
built
boston
or
company
buildings
or
if,
in
my
neighborhood,
someone
came
to
me
and
said
that
they
were
going
to
put
a
wet
lab
adjacent
to
my
party
walls
in
the
house.
I
own.
X
It
was
kind
of
referring
to
what
our
the
iag
had
proposed
right,
a
dry
computer-based
lab,
but
I
would
say
that
it's
it's
a
challenging
process
because
we've
been
at
it
for
nine
months
with
you
know,
13
meetings
and
it's
it
is
challenging
to
present
to
the
board
because
we
are
trying
to
condense
nine
months
into
you
know
a
one-hour
process
and
you
have
a
lot
of
projects
to
review,
and
and
so
it's
it's
a
challenge,
but
I
would
stress
two
things:
one.
X
We
are
understanding
and
empathetic
to
the
concerns
raised
by
the
community
and
we
have
been
going
through
this
process
with
them
for
nine
months
and
the
answers
that
I've
been
given.
Today
we
have
it's
the
same
answers
that
we've
been
giving
for
several
months
now
and
we
have
even
created
a
matrix,
and
hopefully
it
was
it.
It
either
has
or
will
be
shared
with
you,
and
it
takes
each
issue
that
was
raised.
Our
initial
response,
the
iag
and
the
communities-
you
know
sort
of
rebuttal
to
that
and
then
our
response
to
that.
X
So
we
have
tried
to
as
best
as
we
can
quantify
all
of
those
issues.
We
have
tried
to
do
sort
of
this
educational
process,
which
is
important
because
again
we
understand
the
concerns
raised,
but
it
is
challenging
to
present
it
here
tonight
in
45
minutes
and
and
get
you
up
to
speed,
but
I
can
assure
you
we
have.
We
have
done
we've
done
as
much
as
you
know.
We've
done
a
lot.
We've
been
out
for
nine
months,
but
I
understand
your
point.
C
So
we're
not
naive
about
the
implications
of
bringing
into
the
city
and
nurturing
new
industries
right
we're
not
making
shoes
in
boston
anymore.
We
get
that,
but
we
also
have
to
work
with
you
as
developers
in
a
way
that
provides
confidence
and
assurance
for
the
residents
were
concerned
about
their
health,
safety
and
welfare,
particularly
in
this
neighborhood,
where
you
know,
we
have
actively
engaged
residents
and
businesses
and
the
risk
of
constant
risk
of
flooding.
L
One
thing
if
I
could
just
touch
upon
just
to
dr
lands
mark's.
L
Kind
of
ecosystem
around
labs
and
the
regulatory
structuring
how
they
exist
from
article
80,
permanent
perspective
and
from
a
planning
perspective.
It's
something
that
we've
taken
very
serious
and
we've
been
working
on
an
internal
internally
and
externally,
friendly
some
of
the
development
community
and
some
of
the
members.
L
Some
of
the
members
of
the
four-point
area,
that
highlighted
where
we've
seen
a
lot
of
volume
of
development,
particularly
around
the
life
science,
and
try
to
work
on
guidelines
not
trying
to
work
out
with
governments
but
coming
up
with
guidelines
and
really
trying
to
understand
the
industry
from
as
it
relates
to
kind
of
our
about
the
work
we
do.
So
that's
something
we've
taken
very
serious
and
that
we
continue
to
hope
to
have
something
in
the
next
month
that
we
can
present
to
the
public
into
this
board.
L
But
it's
definitely
a
conversation.
We've
taken
serious
with
the
public.
We
know
that
it's
a
it's.
These
projects
present
challenges
in
this
particular
project.
Being
adjacent
to
a
residential
building
has
presented
certain
challenges,
and
I
would
note
that,
as
a
result
of
that,
we've
done
a
lot
of
small
conversations
with
particularly
the
four
point
neighborhood,
both
with
us
and
but
with
the
proponent,
to
really
walk
through
some
of
these
issues.
L
They
are
very
nuanced,
very
complicated
and
because
there's
this
series
of
regulatory
governance
it
makes
it
a
little
more
challenging
kind
of
like
what
is
our
review
as
it
relates
to
use.
And
you
know
all
the
things
that.
L
Happens
after
that
construction
and
then,
ultimately,
martin,
when
the
building
is
up
and
running.
So
your
point
is
heard
and-
and
I
just
wanted
to
note
that
that's
something
that
we're
taking
very
seriously
and
we'll
have
some
deliverables
in
the
near
future.
C
Yeah
and-
and
I
have
to
say
I-
I
really
do
trust
that
staff
and
and
the
folks
who've
been
working
on.
This
have
taken
a
a
very
rigorous
stand
in
terms
of
trying
to
understand.
C
I
mean
we're
not
really
in
a
position
to
be
imposing
stuff,
but
we
need
to
understand
what
all
the
implications
are
and,
and
I'm
one
of
the
last
people
given
what's
going
on
with
interest
rates
and
the
financial
markets
at
this
moment,
I'm
one
of
the
last
people
to
to
want
to
delay
anything,
but
my
own
sense
is
tabling
this
for
one
more
month
and
having
that
kind
of
really
fully
engaged
continuing
conversation
in
part
with
the
community,
but
but
in
part
with
us,
you
know
the
the
people
who
see
this
as
a
potential
precedent
for
the
development
of
other
kinds
of
labs.
C
I
mean,
I
guess
if
it
were
up
to
me
at
this
moment,
I
would
table
for
a
month
as
as
harsh
as
that
is
likely
to
seem,
because
elected
officials
and
local
residents
who
live
next
door
can't
be
entirely
wrong
when
they
raise
these
questions,
and
I
I
think
we
we
have
a
responsibility
to
be
accountable,
particularly
where
there
might
be
risk
to
health
safety
and
welfare.
A
Yeah,
so
thank
you,
dr
lands
mark
and
well.
It
is
kind
of
up
to
me
right
to
call
the
motion
to
call
promotion
right.
So
so
so
I
will
make
a
couple
comments
and
then
and
then
I
will
and
then
I
will
make
a
motion,
but
I
I
do
want
to
recognize
and
definitely
like
plus
one
michael,
like
christopher
right
like
like
I've,
been
a
part
of
these
conversations
right
and
I'm
gonna.
You
know,
I'm
gonna,
be
you.
A
And
looked
at
my
linkedin
resume,
I'm
I'm
an
internal
auditor
for
a
biotech
company
right,
I'm
not
right
now
right,
but
I
was
so
so
we're
not.
You
know
we're
not
like
naive
to
this
area
and
we
have
been
working.
You
know
really
hard
as
an
agency
right
to
to
continue
to
be
this
like
magnet
and
hub,
and
you
know
for
life
sciences
as
massachusetts
is
like
we're
not
anti
that
right
or
I'm
not
anti-
that.
A
Let
me
speak
for
myself
right
so,
however,
like
I
don't
think
that
this
that
that
this
particular
project
right-
or
this
particular
presentation,
as
is
right,
is-
is,
is
there
yet
and
again?
Don't
want
to.
You
know,
understand
the
implications
right
of
a
table,
but
also
understand
the
implications
of
you
know
of
a
vote.
That's
not
over
right,
so
I
am
going
to
so.
A
I
do
want
to
set
expectations
that
we
need
to
do
some
work
here
right,
so
more
work
here
to
you
know
to
get
a
better
understanding
and
a
better.
You
know
sense
of
the
risks
and
the
mitigations,
and
you
know
I
understand
that
this
is
hard
right
to
boil
that
down.
So,
let's
think
about
kind
of
where
we
need
to
focus
on
in
future
conversations
and
presentations.
A
C
I
support
the
motion.
Okay,.
X
A
All
right
so
that
concludes,
that
item
number
33.
Let's
get
back
to
item
number
25.
A
request
authorization
to
issue
a
certification
of
approval
in
accordance
with
article
80e,
small
project,
review
of
the
zoning
code
for
the
construction
of
a
cannabis
production
and
cultivation
facility
with
24
on-site
parking
spaces
located
at
100
through
114
hampton
street,
and
to
take
all
related
action.
Stephen.
AT
Good
afternoon
and
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
and
director
jameson,
my
name
is
stephen
harvey
and
I
am
the
senior
project
manager
of
the
bpa,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
today.
The
project
I
bring
before
you
today
is
114
hampton
street,
located
in
roxbury's
new
market
industrial
development
area.
South
district
next
slide.
Please.
AT
On
july,
12
2002,
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency
received
a
small
project
review
application
from
the
proponent,
the
proponent
proposed
to
construct
a
47,
882
square
foot,
cannabis
production
and
cultivation
facility
at
114.
Hampton
street.
The
proposed
building
would
be
three
stories
and
approximately
64
feet.
In
height
with
on-site
parking
for
up
to
24
vehicles,
I
held
a
virtual
public
meeting
for
the
project
on
august
16,
2020
2002
2022.,
the
august
member.
The
august
meeting
was
well
attended
and
the
project
itself
was
well
received
by
those
attending.
AT
AT
AD
Thank
you
steven
good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
The
slide
you
see
before
you
is
identical
to
the
one
I
presented
earlier.
This
proposal
is
also
located
right
within
the
bounds
of
the
new
plan,
new
market
planning
process,
study
area
and
just
a
quick
review
that
the
key
goals
of
this
planning
process
are
coming
up
with
a
plan
for
a
21st
century
industrial
neighborhood
that
comprises
a
mix
of
traditional
urban
industrial
uses,
as
well
as
the
urban
industrial
use
of
the
future.
AD
The
next
slide,
please,
as
such,
this
proposed
use,
which
is
essentially
a
production
and
distribution
use
as
you'll
see,
falls
squarely
within
the
realm
of
traditional
urban
or
industrial
uses,
and
as
such,
it
aligns
very
well
with
planned
new
market
goals
and
production
and
distribution
use
is
a
use
that
has
been
contemplated
by
the
plan
quite
extensively
additionally,
while
aligning
well
with
the
land
uses
that
were
inverted
that
are
envisioned
as
appropriate
through
the
planning
process.
AD
This
also
aligns
well
with
the
concept
of
creating
new
job
opportunities
for
boston
residents,
and
this
location
happens
to
be
an
underutilized
site
at
this
time
and
then,
finally,
in
terms
of
the
proposed
built
environment
itself,
the
building,
in
terms
of
its
massing
and
design
its
site
access
its
loading
and
public
realm
improvements
are
all
consistent
with
the
emergent
recommendations
for
those
matters
from
planned
new
market.
AD
So
thank
you
and
on
to
the
proponent
team.
Thank
you.
AU
Good
evening,
thank
you
ted.
Thank
you,
stephen
good
evening,
director
jemison
secretary
of
columnist,
madam
chairwoman,
members
of
the
board
attorney
nick
sazul
and
mcdermott
quilty
miller
on
behalf
of
green
hamden

AU
Just
quickly
with
me
tonight
is
mario
sabnori
from
green
hammond
group
llc,
michael
starr,
from
2wr
architects,
who
is
our
architect
and
herbie
duvernier
from
wind
walker
group.
Who
is
our
security
consultant
on
the
project?
AU
We've
engaged
in
a
robust
community
outreach
process
to
get
to
this
point,
but
we're
very
happy
to
present
our
proposal
to
the
board
tonight
and
with
that
we'll
it's
been
a
long
night
already.
So
we
will.
I
will
pass
the
baton
over
to
mario,
who
will
go
through
the
presentation
in
more
detail
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions,
but
we'll
move
through
putting
pretty
quickly
given
the
time
of
the
evening
ready.
So,
mario,
if
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
take
over
we'll,
do
the
presentation.
AV
Awesome
my
bluetooth
went
out.
The
battery
must
have
died,
thanks
just
want
to
acknowledge
and
thank
the
bpda
for
allowing
me
to
present
this
project.
What
you're
seeing
right
here
is
a
satellite
view
of
100
hampton
street.
As
you
can
see,
it's
mostly
surrounded
by
industrial
use.
We
have
bus
parking,
waste
disposal,
industrial
recycling,
storage
facilities
and
a
park
enveloping
us
next
slide.
Please.
AV
AV
AV
AV
We
moved
all
of
our
shipping
receiving
and
waste
management
into
an
enclosed
area
accessible
off
of
redding
street,
our
24
parking
spaces
and
employee
entrance
is
accessible
through
the
entryway
on
redding
street
as
well.
We
have
designed
the
flow
of
this
building
to
optimize
efficiency,
its
security.
AV
The
facility
has
a
motor
indication
mitigation
plan
in
place.
It
starts
with
a
special
filtration
on
our
high
efficiency
hvac
systems
and
it's
backed
up
with
a
specialized
carbon
filtration
system
that
filters
out
dust,
airborne
pollutants,
odor,
causing
called
terpenes
and
any
other
airborne
odors.
Furthermore,
our
cultivation
is
on
its
own
separate
floor
where
it's
sealed
off
and
has
its
own
high-end
filtration
systems
in
place
for
every
room
and
hallway.
AV
AV
These
are
the
elevations
from
100
hampton
street.
As
you
can
see,
it's
a
three-story
building.
We
added
windows
wherever
it
was
possible
and
we
designed
it
to
improve
the
aesthetics
of
the
neighborhood
as
it
stands
now,
the
entire
facility
has
been
designed
with
security
and
community
in
mind
from
the
placement
of
our
doors
and
windows
to
the
location
of
vaults
and
grow
rooms.
AV
AV
AV
This
is
the
view
of
100
hampton
coming
from
norfolk
street
looking
west,
and
that
is
it
for
my
renderings
last
slide.
Please,
and
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
pass
it
back
to
ea.
AU
Yeah,
madam
chair,
if
I
may
quickly,
you
know
you
can
see
here
as
part
of
the
project.
We've
worked
hard
with
the
bpda
in
the
neighborhood
to
help
enhance
the
immediate
local
area
with
intersection
improvements,
sidewalk
public
realm
improvements,
funds
to
help
me
and
upkeep.
You
know
nearby
local
parks
and
playgrounds.
AU
We
also
have
already
entered
into
the
host
community
agreement
with
the
city
for
this
type
of
a
use
with
its
required.
You
know
impact
fees
and
things
of
that
nature,
so
we're
really
excited
and
and
look
forward
to
getting
started
in
the
city.
So
stephen
that
will
conclude
our
presentation
or
back
to
you,
madam
chair.
If
you
will
thank
you,
hey.
C
What
will
this
building
smell,
like
you
know,
bakeries,
breweries,
processing
plants
all
have
distinctive
scents,
and
I'm
curious
as
to
what
this
building
is
gonna
smell
like
when
it's
in
operation.
AV
Excellent,
yes,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
that,
so
the
good
news
is,
you
won't
have
any
odors
coming
out
of
this
building
the
way
we
designed
it
and
we
have
our
own
mitigation
plans
in
place.
It's
all
designed
to
filter
all
the
air
inside
of
it.
As
I
was
mentioning,
we
have
two
stage
filtration
systems,
it
begins
with
our
hvac
systems,
and
that
is
followed
up
with
a
specialized
carbon
filtration
system
that
they
placed
through
the
building
and
out
the
rooms
where
it's
sealed
off
the
building
and
the
outdoors.
AV
It
is
just
outside
of
the
oh,
the
new
school.
It's
I
believe
it's
a
couple
thousand
thousand
square
feet.
It's
well
outside
of
the
buffer
zone,.
C
And
you'll
provide
us
with
insurances
that
there
won't
be
any
related
retail
that
may
be
attached
to
this
facility.
A
Please
remind
me,
and
again
I
guess,
just
a
lot:
what
what
are
the
broker
zones
again?
I
just
can't.
AV
AU
Yeah
we're
we're
about
we're
over
a
quarter
of
a
mile
away.
Madam
children,
we
all
have
an
improvement.
H
AB
A
AB
Have
one
thought
I
know
there's
a
lot
going
on
here,
so
it's
wonderful
you're
buffering
out
the
the
dump
trucks
and
the
recycling
all
of
that,
but
I'm
sure
that
this
is
not
how
the
area
will
look
in
a
couple
of
years,
so
without
longer
term
plan.
AB
Is
this
the
kind
of
building
that
fits
in
it
looked
like
it
was
pretty
tight
to
the
street
and
looked
I
don't
know
it
looked
like
something
we
might
be
looking
at
it
and
meeting
five
years
down
the
road
and
say
now
this
building
doesn't
fit
in
because
I
know
there's
great
plans
for
this
area,
but
maybe
if
you
could
address
not
what's
around
you
right
now,
but
what
we
envision
that
neighborhood
in
the
next
five
to
ten
years.
AV
If
I
may,
the
building
was,
it
was
designed
with
guidance
for
the
bpda
for
urban
design
principles
with
setbacks.
We've
added
setbacks
from
the
street
to
add
landscaping
and
training,
wells
and
public
bike
areas
to
improve
the
experience
for
motorists
and
pedestrians
on
hampton
street
we've
also
designed
the
building
so
that
it
could
showcase
art
from
local
artists.
AU
Yeah,
I
I
think
that
to
to
to
move
off
of
that
as
well.
You
know
we're
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
bpda
during
the
design
review
process.
Mr
miller,
I
think
the
hope
here
is
that
this
building
will
will
fit
in
with
any
future
plans
the
way
it's
designed
and
the
way
it's
going
to
be
used
with
the
setbacks.
We
don't
need
any
zoning
relief
for
any
of
the
setbacks
or
any
of
the
dimensional
relief
that
we
are
adding
to
those
walkability
and
the
streetscape
improvements.
AU
So
I
think
the
hope
is
that
it
will
fit
in
and
we're
looking
forward
to
working
with
design
staff
and
planning
staff
to
make
sure
that
happens.
So
we're
hopeful
that
I
will
thanks.
L
AD
Sure
you
know
I,
I
hope
that
you
know
trash
trucks
are
not
the
first
thing
that
people
think
of
when
they
think
of
new
market
in
the
future.
But
the
the
vision
is
for
this
to
maintain.
This
goes
back
to
imagine,
boston,
2030,
that
the
vision
is
that
new
market
is
a
neighborhood
where
boston
goes
to
work
and
many
of
the
buildings
where
people
are
working
will
look
like
industrial
buildings,
and
you
know
this.
AD
This
is
consistent
with
with
the
building
designs
and,
and
you
know
what
we'd
hope
to
see
in
the
future
and
it
it's
an
industrial
building
at
its
heart
and
that's
what
it
looks
like,
which
is
great,
and
my
urban
design.
Colleagues
worked
where
appropriate
to
to
make
the
building
transparent,
introduce
fenestration.
AD
And
then,
as
nick
mentioned,
the
front
setback
was
a
pretty
important
piece
of
this,
which
is
part
of
our
climate
resilience
strategy,
which
is
to
build
in
space
for
groundwater
to
penetrate,
and
then
one
of
the
design
guidelines
that's
coming
out
of
plant
new
market
is
that
street
trees
should
be
on
the
interior,
the
building
side
of
the
sidewalk,
because
we
recognize
a
big
need
to
have
new
street
trees
in
new
market.
AD
There
are
hardly
any
there
right
now
and
that's
because
they
would
get
hit
by
trucks
if
they
were
between
the
sidewalk
and
the
street.
So
that's
why
we
have
asked
and
received
in
this
proposal
provision
for
a
setback
that
can
accommodate
street
trees
on
the
inside
side
of
the
sidewalk,
where
they're
less
vulnerable
to
to
getting
hit
by
trucks,
and
if,
in
five
or
ten
years,
we
see
a
neighborhood
that
is
filled
with
uses
that
look
like
this
in
buildings.
That
look
like
this.
AD
That
would
be
quite
consistent
with
the
planning
vision
as
it
stands
right
now,.
AB
A
U
A
Everything
like
that,
so
I
know
I
give
you
the
greatest
planning
minds
like
you
know.
You
know
we
we
have
here
so
yeah,
yeah,
okay,
additional
questions
or
comments.
A
Okay,
hearing
and
seeing
none
emotion
is
in
order,
so
moved
shut
up,
we'll
call
for
a
vote.
Mr
monahan
aye,
dr
lance
mark
aye,
mr
miller,
all
right
and
the
chair
folks
eye
motion
passes.
Congratulations
on
good
luck!
Thank.
A
All
right:
okay,
26,
request
authorization
to
issue
a
certification
of
approval
in
accordance
with
article
80e,
small
project,
review
of
the
zoning
code
in
connection
with
the
notice
of
project

reducing
and
changing

rental
units
to
18

Stephen.
AT
AT
Next
slide,
please,
on
july
20th
2020
on
july
2022,
the
proponent
submitted
a
notice
of
project
change
for
the
board,
approved
2020
project,
the
notice
of
project
change,
npc
requested
to
change
the
unit,
programming
unit,
account
and
affordability
for
the
project.
The
original
or
ruth
project
called
for
construction
of
a
21
unit,
rental,
building
with
ground
floor
retail
space.
All
21
units
were
made
affordable
to
households,
households
earning
not
more
than
90
of
ami.
The
npc
proposed
the
construction.
AT
The
new
mpc
proposes
the
construction
of
18
unit
condominium
18
unit
condominium,
an
18
condominium
unit,
building
with
ground
floor
retail
space.
The
npc
is
also
proposing
to
make
the
condominium
units
affordable
to
households
earning
between

We

allows
us
to
create
these
affordable,
homeownership

Hello
and
thank
you,
chairwoman,
rojas
secretary
behemoth,
director,
jemison
and
members
of
the
board,
I'm
michelle
mccarthy,
deputy
director
of
housing
policy
compliance
here
before
you
today,
with
an
update
to
the
inclusionary
development
policy
program.
The
previously
approved
1121
dorchester
ave
project
in
march
2021.
AX
This
board
approved
the
1121
dorchester
ave
project
consisting
of
24
rental
units,
including
three
inclusionary
development
policy
idp
units.
At
that
time,
the
idp
unit
approval
was
for
one
studio
unit,
one
one
bedroom
unit,
one
and
one
two
bedroom
unit
during
the
drafting
of
the
affordable
rental,
housing
agreement
and
restriction.
It
was
discovered
that
the
idp
studio
unit
had
been
included
and
approved
an
error
as
the
previously
proof
project
did
not
contain
any
studio
units.
AX
As
a
result,
I'm
here
today
here
before
you
today
to
correct
the
scrivener's
error
to
update
the
idp
unit
selections
for
this
project
to
include
two
one
bedroom
units
and
one
two
bedroom
unit.
Nothing
else
has
changed
about
the
previous
approval.
Your
vote
today
is
to
authorize
the
execution
of
an
affordable
rental,
housing
agreement
and
restriction
with
the
correct,
correct
configuration
of
idp
units.
Thank
you
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
A
AX
This
is
an
11
unit,
rental
project
that
received
its
zoning
board
of
appeal
approval
on
may
24th
2022
and
does
not
require
articulating
approval.
This
project
is
here
before
you
today,
because
it
will
include
one
income,
restricted,
inclusionary
development
policy
unit.
Your
vote
today
is
to
authorize
the
execution
of
an
affordable
rental,
housing
agreement
and
restriction.
Thank
you

If
you
could
just
go
back
to
the
last
slide
quickly,
thank
you
so
to
give
a
quick
overview,
nec
features
undergraduate
and
graduate
level
musical
training,
as
well
as
music
education
through
our
prep
school,
which
provides
musical
opportunities
for
an
average
of
sixteen
hundred
students
from
ages.
Three
to
eighteen,
through
our
community
performance
and
partnerships
program,
we
reached
roughly
ten
thousand
individuals.
X
Our
2012
inp
included
two
projects
phase
one
was
a
new
student
life
and
performance
center,
which
was
completed
in
september
of
2017
and
houses.
Approximately
250
students,
along
with
library,
dining
commons
and
three
new
performance
spaces
on
phase
2,
would
introduce
a
new
learning
center
project
on
the
current
33
games
for
our
site
and,
as
we
determine
future
programming
needs
in
alignment
with
our
strategic
plan.
We
plan
to
assess
this
project
and
bring
forth
objectives
in
our
next
imp
submission
additional.
X
X
Shifting
to
our
students
on
scholarship
is
crucial
to
help
nbc,
pursue
our
core
artistic
and
academic
missions
and
to
cultivate
our
creative
community.
So,
as
you
can
see,
in
the
2021-22
academic
year,
nec
awarded
more
than
17
million
in
scholarship
funds
to
774
students
from
43
states
and
28
countries.
X
X
Through
this
partnership,
nec
students
also
began
offering
music
lessons
to
frontline
workers
at
mass
general
in
the
fall
of
2020,
and
this
work
continues
on.
We
have
also
collaborated
with
harvard
medical
students
to
deliver
virtual
bedside
concerts
to
patients
and
families.
Each
holiday
season
brought
live
music
to
vaccination,
centers
in
boston,
virtual
performances
at
senior
centers.
X
We
partnered
with
teachers
at
9,
boston,
public
schools
to
provide
remote
lessons,
performances
and
residencies,
and
finally,
when
in-person
audiences
were
not
able
to
come
together,
we
pivoted
offerings
to
live
streams
of
concerts
from
our
campus
next
slide
and,
finally,
nec
prevent
presents
more
than
900
free
concerts
each
year,
many
of
them
held
in
jordan
hall
through
the
support
of
the
mellon
foundation.
We
also
host
the
boston
bridge
to
equity
in
achievement
and
music
since
2019,
in
collaboration
with
some
partners.
X
Beam's
mission
is
to
create
a
region-wide
collective
solution
for
supporting
and
sustaining
musical
excellence.
Among
young
musicians
of
historically
excluded
populations
who
aspire
to
have
careers
in
classical
music
and
its
work
continues.
I'm
in
the
2020-21
academic
year,
our
community
performance
and
partnerships
program
had
124
partnerships
with
schools,
hospitals,
community
centers,
libraries,
museums
and
historic
landmarks.
X
More
than
100
of
our

taught
1200
virtual
hours,
led
a
thousand
teaching
visits
and
performed
nearly
100
virtual
performances
and
events
reaching.
As
I
mentioned
on
the
first
slide
over
10
000
people
over
the
last
decade,
the
cvp
program
has
worked
on

annually,
recruit
performances,
weekly
teaching,
project-based
residencies
workshops
and
an

W
Good
evening,

jemison,
I'm

the

and
chairman
real
house.
I
can
see
you
smiling
in
this
case
I'm
here
presenting
this
project,
because
our
planner
for
mission
hill
karen
chavez
is
on
a
well-deserved
vacation,
so
hopefully
she's
enjoying
her
vacation
and
was
excited
to
see
this
project
move
to
board.
W
The
project
helped
fulfill
citywide
planning
goals
for
transit,
oriented
development
because
it's
located
along
huntington
avenue
near
the
fenwood
road,
greenline,
mbta,
stop
and
within
walking
distance
of
longwood
medical
area
during

staff
focused
next

Please
on
the
appropriateness
of
the
this
use
in
the
location
which
provides
a
mix
of
housing
options,
including
ownership
and
rental
units,
with
high
rates
of
affordability.
J
T
Else
dad
thank
you.
I'm
karen
gately,
the
executive
director
of
roxbury
tenants
harvard
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
tonight.
I
realize
we're
towards
the
end
of
the
evening,
so
I
appreciate
the
time
we've
been
working
on
this
project
for
the
past
five
years.
As
you
know,
our
goal
admission
is
to
be
part
of
the
solution,
helping
meet
the
great
need
for
more
affordable
housing
in
the
boston
area.
T
We
believe
and
strongly
support
the
mix
uses
in
our
proposed
program
of
112
units,
including
27,
affordable,
condominiums,
28,
market
rate
condominiums
and
57,
affordable
rental
housing
and
2
000
square
feet
of
community
scale
commercial
space.
As
you
know,
mission
hill
needs
more
residential
housing
that
support
stability
rather
than
transients,
especially
as
the
neighborhood
has
been
inundated
by
high-priced
student
rental
housing.
Additionally,
the
opportunity
to
build
affordable
units
within
walking
distance
to
the
lma,
the
longwood
medical
area,
brigham
circle
and
the
green
line
is
rare.
T
Rth
residents
and
mission
health
community
supports
the
addition
of
these
affordable
housing
units
and,
as
both
services
to
stabilize
the
neighborhood
with
long-term
active
residents
and
further,
we
commit
to
the
market
rate
units
proposed
to
stay
owner-occupied
rather
than
investor
owned.
One
of
the
goals
of
this
project
is
to
provide
approximately
fifty
percent
of
the
home
ownership
units
as
affordable
with
the
commitment
to
make
our
current
rental
residents,
as
well
as
residents
of
mission
hill
homeless,
home
ownership,
ready
by
offering
home
ownership,
prep
and
credit
strengthening
workshops
and
trainings
with
maha.
T
We
know
and
have
experienced
success
with
this
model
at
our
mosaic
building
on
the
riverway.
We
look
forward
to
discussing
the
next
steps.
We
certainly
appreciate
the
feedback
thus
far
and
look
forward
to
sharing
how
we
incorporate
the
thoughts
and
feedback
from
you
and
the
community
again.
Thanks
for
your
time,
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to

to
walk
you
through
the
current

prosperity,
tenants
of
harvard
campus.
I
mean
our
site
is
in
purple
right
there
on
the
right
hand,
side
it's
a
very
interesting
bend
in
huntington
avenue,
where
you
can
see
it
as
you're
leaving
the
city,
and
you
can
see
it
as
you're
coming
in
the
city.
It's
also
surrounded
by
some
really
lovely
brick
buildings
next
slide.
AL
AL
AL
AL
AL
I
mentioned
that
bend
in
huntington
avenue,
so
the
image
on
the
left
is
this:
if
you're
going
down
the
avenue
of
the
arts
right
now,
this
building
the
front
portion
of
it
is
right
in
the
center
line
of
your
view
as
you
go
up
past
mass
art
and
go
up
past
the
pharmacy
school.
So
you
will
see
this
from
a
great
distance,
so
we
have
a
slightly
more
iconic.
AL
Look
on
that,
so
that
it
is
a
kind
of
placeholder
as
you're
going
up
on
tinton
avenue,
and
then
the
image
on
the
right
shows
as
you're
coming
in
from
brookline
of
this
bend.
You
could
see
some
of
the
detail
on
on
the
brick
village,
on
the
left
side
and
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
street.
There
are
some
amazing
buildings,
so
we
wanted
our
building
to
be
a
little
bit
more
majestic.
We
wanted
deep
recesses
for
the
windows.
We
wanted
a
lot
of
detail
next
slide.
AL
This
shows
the
ground
floor
plan
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
So
our
building
is
on
the
right.
Our
residential
lobby
is
set
back.
It
is
surrounded
with
community
commercial
retail
to
give
it
activity
we've
greatly
improved.
We
think
the
sidewalk
experience
on
this
section
of
the
street,
which
is
fairly
harsh,
there
aren't
very
many
trees,
so
we're
planting
new
trees
and,
along
that
red
line.
AL
AL
Next,
here
are
some
sections
on
the
upper
left-hand
side
as
you're
leaving
huntington
avenue,
walking
down
that
space
between
the
two
buildings,
it's
wider
in
the
front,
and
then
you
can
see
section
b
is
that
woodland
corridor
with
lush
plant
in
either
side
offshoots
is
our
landscape
architect
and
we
think
they've
done
a
great
job
and
then
on
the
upper
right.
You
can
see
essentially
the
section
at
the
main
entrance
of
the
building
on
the
lower
right.
AL
What
we're
doing
is
we're
doing
some
street
level
improvements
about
a
block
away
on
the
other
side
of
the
farragut
school
that
you
can
see
in
the
left
of
that
image.
We're
kind
of
we're
doing
better
handicap
ramps
for
accessibility
across
the
road
and
we're
providing
a
new
blue
bike
station
there
next.
AL
So
we
just
wanted
to
leave
you
with
this
final
image,
and
you
could
see
some
of
that
detailing
on
the
farragut
building
on
the
right
hand,
side,
and
you
can
see
how
we're
trying
to
not
mimic
that
building.
But
we
definitely
want
to
be
very
contextual
and
very
deep
in
our
detailing
of
the
brick
and
around
the
windows
of
the
windows
themselves,
the
cornices.
AL
You
could
see
the
slight
amenities
area
at
the
top
of
that
right-hand
podium.
I
mean,
then,
what
we
think
is
just
this
beautiful
curve
that
came
out
of
our
our
kind
of
design
process
with
everybody
that
we
think
is
really
suitable
for
just
a
an
elegant.
What
we
think
of
as
a
background
building
in
this
part
of
the
neighborhood.
AL
A
Hey,
thank
you,
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
C
You've
really
demonstrated
the
value
of
community
empowerment
because
of
what
you've
been
able
to
build
and
what
you've
done
to
stabilize
the
neighborhood,
and
I
would
just
say
that
that
the
one
challenge
you're
going
to
face
here
is
likely
to
be
working
with
the
t
around
pedestrians
crossing
that
that
street,
because
you're
taking
a
very
dead
area
and
making
it
even
more
attractive
and
and
interesting.
But
I
know
you're
more
than
capable
of
doing
that.
So
I
I
congratulate
you
on
this
project.
AL
Well,
it's
we're
looking
at
different
options,
but
it
is
real
brick,
it's
whether
it's
the
thick
brick
and
some
of
this
detailing
is
fairly
deep,
so
we
are
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
do
that
with
different
systems
right
now,
but
it's
a
brick
masonry
building
which
we
think
is
great
for
this
location
yep.
Thank
you.
AD
A
Thank
you
very
much,
okay,
so
skipping
forward
to
what
we
already
did
in
public
hearing.
So
moving

contributional.
I
need

is
in

check
it
out
for
about.
Mr.
A
A
AS
Great
well
thanks
very
much,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
bpd
aboard
for
tonight's
meeting
and
I
would
like
to
provide
a
few
comments.
Just
in
summary
of
today's
activities,
specifically
we're
going
to
focus
on
a
few
development
project
highlights.
We
have
five
own
projects
approved
today,
representing
over
305
financial
units
and
and
111
of
those
units
were
income
restricted.
We've
got
over
221
million
dollars
worth
of
investment
in
our
city
projects
representing
481
000
square
feet.
AS
AS
They
opened
in
2015
and
have
been
housed
in
temporary
and
split
campuses
since
their
opening,
the
temporary
nature
facilities,
the
missing
elements
and
the
miles
separating
the
campuses
combined
to
create
significant
challenges
for
the
school
and
employees.
The
boards
voted
to
move
this
project
forward.
It's
going
to
serve
as
800
students
at
completion
and
stimulate
90
construction
jobs.
AS
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
the
discussion
that
was
had
about
the
new
market
plan.
I
want
to
assure
the
board
that
we'll
be
engaging
with
them
directly
on
it
over
the
coming
months,
as
the
new
market
plan
now
is
two
new
constituents
voted
today,
of
which
the
high
school
was
is
one
that
we're
very
focused
on.
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
a
little
bit
of
the
work
going
on
in
the
olsen.
AS
Specifically,
you
approved
two
projects
on
wheel,
birmingham
parkway
in
brighton,
which
are
in
close
proximity
to
what
planning
work
we
have
underway
with
the
plan
known
as
the
western
avenue
corridor
study
and
rezone.
That
study
is
in
in
process.
We
had
a
critical
meeting
last
week
and
are
expecting
to
bring
the
process
to
a
close
after
a
number
of
community
meetings
at
the.
AS
AS
You
know
I've
been
close
to
this
issue
and
missed
the
three
months
that
I've
been
here
very
broadly
and
also
in
this
specific
project
that
was
being
discussed
after
engaging
with
both
the
the
proponent,
as
well
as
the
community
groups
and
talking
with
them
about
their
issues
and
then
have
creating
an
opportunity
for
the
convening
of
the
developer
in
the
community.
AS
I
really
felt
that
this
discussion
needed
to
be
needed
to
be
discussed
publicly,
because
it's
indicative
of
some
of
the
challenges
we're
experiencing
with
laboratories
and
we're
going
to
reconvene
the
parties
and
seek
a
consensus
solution
as
we
have
over
the
prior
months.
AS
There
are
elements
of
there
are
fundamental
elements
of
having
a
lab
use
that
that
have
some
big
challenges
for
residential,
but
I
do
believe
that
the
means
exists
for
there
to
be
a
consensus
solution,
so
we're
going
to
work
to
achieve
that
with
the
participants
I
do
want
to.
I
know
this
was
said
a
couple
of
times,
but
I
do
want
to
share
appreciation
to
both
the
folks
asking
questions,
as
well
as
the
supporters
and
the
proponent
who
all
brought
an
appropriate
attitude
to
this
work.
AS
Our
area
is
one
of
the
most
successful
life
sciences
clusters
in
the
country
and
so
taking
on
challenges
like
this
is
just
going
to
be
part
of
the
work.
We
do
to
make
sure
that
our
city
grows
the
way
that
it
can
and
that
we're
creating
the
mix
of
uses
in
the
right
proximity
and
the
right
functional
relationship
going
forward.
AS
It's
also
a
place
where
zoning
suggests
that
this
isn't
a
use,
that's
appropriate
to
place
there,
and
so
the
not
only
does
the
navigation
individual
project
need
to
specific
attention,
but
also
the
the
matter
of
zoning
facility.
Commission
we've
been
working
in
a
related
way
on
a
labs
action
agenda
that
we're
planning
released.
This
fall.
It's
designed
to
outline
a
coordinated
approach
to
addressing
concerns
related
to
planning
and
development
of
labs
as
challenges
and
different
issues
like
this
are
presenting
themselves
all
over
the
city.
AS
But
again
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
capture
and
grow
our
place
in
the
life
science
ecosystem,
so
that
we
have
this
kind
of
growth
to
look
forward
to
in
future
months.
I
look
forward
to
sharing
more
about
this
initiative
with
you
in
coming
months
and,
finally,
I
wanted
to
highlight
the
work
we're
doing
to
improve
cultural
resiliency,
starting
at
home
with
our
raymond
flynn
marine
park.
This
is
the
direct
implementation
requirement,
randy,
boston
and
us
doing
our
part
with
property.
We
own
exemplifies
our
commitment
to
resilient
planning
over
to
construction.
AS
AS
Just
to
close
out
my
comments,
pleased
to
say
that
we
are
adding
new
talent
to
our
team.
We
approve
seven
new
hires,
which
means
approximately
30
new
people
joined
since
may.
These
hires
are
going
to
help
us
continue
our
great
work
and
focus
on
creating
more
resilient,
affordable,
accessible
city.
AS
Thank
you
again,
our
board
members
for
your
property
and
diligence
and
attention
tonight,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
citizens
who
participated
in
today's
dialogues.
I
look
forward
to
future
meetings
to
talk
about
all
these
topics.
Maybe
I'll
pass
it
back
to
you,
chair,
real
house.
A
Great,
thank
you
director,
jameson,
okay,
great
update.
You
know
more
to
come,
we'll
do
this
again
next
month,
so
I
need
a
motion
to
adjourn
this
meeting.
