D
William,
thank
you
and
good
afternoon
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board.
This
matter
was
last
before
you,
this
past
April,
to
request
authorization
to
advertise.
The
public
bid
for
this
work
and,
as
you'll
likely
recall,
12
Channel
Street
is
a
nine-story
masonry
building
originally
constructed
by
the
U.S
military
in
1941.
It
has
served
historically
as
a
storehouse
in
the
South
Boston
Naval
addicts,
and
it
is
currently
utilized
as
a
light
industrial
manufacturing
and
Commercial
office.
Building
with
numerous
tenants,
the
building
is
served
by
three
passenger
elevators.
D
Those
elevators
are
prone
to
service
disruptions
and
mechanical
failures.
The
work
of
this
project
seeks
to
rectify
that.
Construction
Services
would
fully
modernize
the
three
passenger
elevators.
What
could
include
the
four
replacement
or
refurbishment
of
all
mechanical
improvements?
We
competitively
business
projects
with
the
public
ad
that
went
out
May
1st
of
this
year.
In
accordance
with
chapter
149
of
the
general
laws.
We
had
40
interested
parties,
download
the
bid
documents
and
we
received
three
General
bidders.
D
Those
bids
were
opened
and
read
aloud
on
June,
2nd
and
the
lowest
eligible
and
responsible
bidder
was
determined
to
be
Enterprise
equipment
company
who
we
have
done
work
with
in
the
past
in
this
property,
and
their
bid
was
for
one
million,
eight
hundred
forty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
sixteen
dollars
all
documents
required
by
chapter
149
and
the
invitation
for
grids
was
submitted
by
the
bidder,
and
our
engineer
of
record
in
B5
has
reviewed
the
bid
and
agrees
with
the
recommendation
to
award
this
work
to
Enterprises
the
lowest
eligible
and
qualified
bidder.
D
We
are
recommending
a
10
contingency
in
the
amount
of
184
681.60,
so
the
total
authorization
for
requesting
is
two
million
Thirty
One
Thousand,
four
hundred
ninety
seven
dollars
and
sixty
cents.
The
work
will
be
funded
from
the
agency's
fiscal
year,
24
capital
budget,
which
will
be
presented
to
you
later
this
afternoon
and
with
that
we're
request
an
authorization
for
the
director
to
be
authorized
to
enter
into
this
contract
with
Enterprise.
E
The
elevated
Constructor
contractor,
or
are
they
acting
as
a
CN.
D
They
are
going
to
be
the
general
and
they
are
doing
much
of
your
work
themselves
and
they
have
a
number
of
filed
subvids
that
they
are
utilizing
for
this
project.
The
majority
of
a
mechanical
contractor
aren't
they.
They
are
yes
out
of
Weymouth
I,
believe
that's
where
they
are
and
there
they
are
going
to
be
the
fine
contractor
again
who's
the
file
submitter
for
the
elevators
I
apologize
I
don't
have
that
information
offhand,
but
I
can
certainly
follow
up
after
that
no
problem.
Thank
you.
B
Great
and
just
because
it's
a
you
know
a
large
investment
just
wanted
to
be
clear.
Are
we
replacing
existing
elevators
to
kind
of
modernize
the
building
for
you.
D
So
all
three
elevators
are
decades
old
and
needs
to
be
repurposed
to
bring
them
up
to
current
codes
and
standards.
These
are
the
passenger
elevators,
which
serve
access
to
all
nine
floors.
So
all
of
our
current
tenants,
which
includes
our
own
offices
in
the
real
estate
department
on
the
ninth
floor,
as
well
as
the
mayor's
office
of
housing,
but
certainly
we
have
numerous
tenants
on
each
and
every
floor
who
will
be
utilized
by
these
elevators
and
then
just
of
note
to
anybody
who's
watching
as
well
we're
only
taking
one
elevator
offline
at
a
time.
D

H
Sorry,
anyways
on
April
14
2022,
the
bpda
board

awarded

of
tentative

status
for
a
period
of
six
months
pending
the
completion
of
the
remaining
permitting
and
construction
preparation
items.
When
all
items
are
completed,
staff
will
return
to

Thank

I'm

Mr

Thank

Item
number
five
request
authorization
to
enter
into
a
license
agreement
with
cycle
wash
for
the
temporary
installation
of
a
bicycle,
washing
machine
on
five
thousand
square
feet
of
land
located
adjacent
to
the
parking
garage
located
in
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
marine
park
for
an
initial
12-month
period.
Thanks.
Thank.
I
You,
madam
chair
cyclewash,
is
a
manufacturer
company
founded
in
Germany
and
headquartered
in
Germany.
However,
they're
also
attended
here
at
12,
Channel
Street
in
Mass
robotics,
they
manufactured
automated
bicycle
washing
systems
similar
to
the
car,
washes
that
we've
all
used
only
it's
geared
specifically
for
bicycles.
It
takes
its
freestanding
device,
takes
about
it's
about
the
size
of
a
parking
space
in
our
vehicle
parking
space
machines
are
currently
located
in
over
4
40
cities
and
17
European
countries.
I
There
are
currently
none
in
the
United
States
they're,
seeking
to
establish
the
presence
in
the
United
States
and
are
currently
courting
several
Boston
developers
to
consider
the
psych
wash
as
an
amenity
in
the
multi-tenidented
residential
or
Office
Buildings,
along
with
the
bike
groups.
We
also
believe
that
it
could
be
a
public
sector
opportunity
as
well
we're
proposing
to
permit
cyclewatch
to
install
a
display
model
on
the
grass
adjacent
to
the
edac
garage
in
the
Raymond,
open,
Marine
Park.
I
That
location
is
good
because
it's
not
a
travel
way
and
it's
in
very
close
proximity
to
the
plumbing
located
within
the
garage
and
the
restrooms
Etc.
They
will
utilize
the
location
to
offer
demonstrations
of
the
machines
to
potential
purchases
and
cyclewatch
will
be
responsible
for
all
costs
associated
with
accessing
the
the
need
of
water
and
disposing
of
it
into
the
sewer
system.
We're
proposing
a
one-year
term
with
a
one-year
extension
in
lieu
of
paying
rent
to
bpda
cycle.
I
The
cycle
wash
machine
will
be
available
to
any
cyclist
who
wishes
to
wash
their
bicycle
24
hours
a
day
free
of
charge
and
then,
after
the
first
year,
we'll
revisit
to
see
what
what
seems
like
an
appropriate
business
father
for
the
second
year.
I
B
Okay:
item
number:
six
request:
authorization
to
extend
the
license
agreement
with
the
city

Thank

I'm
happy

any
questions.
B
J
B
You,
hey
item
number,
seven
request:
authorization
to
award
tentative
designation
status
to
a
joint
venture
between
Lincoln
property
company
and
Quaker
Lane
capital
and
enter
into
lease
negotiations
with
the
redeveloper
to
facilitate
a
long-term
lease
in
Redevelopment
of
the
edic
parcel
use
site.
It's
located
at
7
Channel
Street
within
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
Marine
Park,
a
great
Emma.
K
K
The
approximately
forty
five
thousand
square
foot
site
includes
a
two-story
building
of
approximately
27
000
square
feet
that
previously
housed
Davis
Seafoods
and
has
been
vacant
for
several
years
on
June
8
2022,
the
bpda
issued
an
RFP
for
the
site
to
capture
opportunities
offered
by
Boston's
life
science
lab
Market
in
this
location.
The
RFP
required
proponents
to
include
two
development
scenarios
in
their
submitted
proposals,
development
programs,
A
and
B
with
program
B,
including
the
additional
requirement
for
the
delivery
of
a
core
and
shell
space
within
the
development
for
community
and
or
government
use.
K
Furthermore,
the
RFP
also
encouraged
proposals
to
further
the
bpda's
commitment
to
promote
Maritime,
Economic
Development
and
the
retention
and
creation
of
job
opportunities
in
the
Marine
Park
on
August
8
2022.
The
bpda
received
three
proposals
in
response
to
the
RFP
after
thorough
analysis
and
evaluation
by
bbda
staff,
The
Proposal
submitted
by
Lincoln
property
company
and
Quaker
Lane
Capital
was
deemed
most
highly
advantageous
against
the
rfp's
evaluation
criteria
for
both
program
a
and
program
B.
K
Therefore,
we
are
recommending
that
the
board
award
tentative
designation
status
to
the
joint
venture
of
Lincoln
property
company
and
Quaker
Lane
capital.
Their
proposal
includes
an
approximately
262
000
square
foot
nine
floor
building
with
office
and
lab
space.
If
the
bpda
decides
to
move
forward
under
program
B,
the
proposed
building
will
also
include
a
two-floor
firehouse
on
the
ground
floor
and
first
floor.
K
Their
proposal
was
determined
to
be
the
most
advantageous
for
its
inclusion
of
a
community
training
lab
that
would
integrate
and
build
upon
the
training
facility
across
the
street,
for
its
Financial
offer
and
for
its
diversity
and
inclusion
plan.
I
would
now
like
to
introduce
the
recommended
developer
for
tentative
designation,
Lincoln
property
company
and
Quaker
Lane
Capital
to
present
their
project
and
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
once
their
presentation
concludes.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you,
Emma
members
of
the
bpda
staff
and
and
directors.
My
name
is
Carlos
Fabares
Mize
I'm,
the
founding
principal
of
Quaker
Lane.
We
are
an
SEO
certified
minority
business
Enterprise
in
the
Commonwealth
and
on
behalf
of
Quaker
Lane
and
Lincoln
property
company,
I'm,
proud
to
share
an
approach
to
activating
public
land.
That
is
unprecedented.
Our
vision
goes
beyond
the
Precedence
of
the
recent
past
in
terms
of
carbon
footprint,
sustainability,
Master
planning,
Community
benefits
and
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
and
Commercial
development.
Next
slide,
please
with
meritocracy
as
our
priority.
L
We've
assembled
one
of
the
most
diverse
project
teams
in
recent
history,
with
representation
from
female
Latino,
black
and
other
minority-owned
firms
and
individuals.
It's
only
the
beginning
of
what
we
pledge
to
be
the
most
diverse
and
qualified
project
team
in
Boston's
history
today,
and
it
starts
with
the
developer
team.
Thanks
to
the
initiative
of
Lincoln
property
company
and
a
decade-long
relationship.
We
begin
with
this
partnership
between
us
and
and
Lincoln
with
a
55-45
pro
rather
share
for
investment,
allocation
of
development,
capital,
economic
participation,
feed
distribution
and
equal
decision
making.
L
We
ensure
true
Equity
from
the
start
of
this
project.
In
turn,
offering
capacity
building
for
us
as
an
emerging,
firm
and
accountability
to
access
our
Network
to
further
diversify
and
maximize
equity
in
the
project.
We
believe
that
the
last
deal
or
the
last
Model
is
not
enough,
and
we
start
with
wealth
creation
and
Equity

M
Carlos,
if
you
flip
to
the
next

so
my
name
is
Mark
callian
from
Lincoln
property
company
and
in
this
slide,
you'll
see
a
view
of
our
proposed
development.
Looking
South
down
the
hall
road.
Now
you
can
see
the
12th
Channel
Street
office
building.
In
the
background.
M
The
majority
of
the
project
is
planned
for
life
science
use
further,
adding
to
the
robust
life
science
cluster
developing
in
the
Marine
Park.
The
floor
plates
have
been
designed
for
flexibility
for
a
variety
of
Industries,
including
pharmaceutical
Labs.
Tech
related
businesses
and
Manufacturing
the
corona
floor
includes
a
cafe
and
co-working
space
which
will
activate
the
street
Frontage
and
contribute
more
amenities
to
this
end
of
the
seaport.
M
This
slide
highlights
one
of
the
most
exciting
aspects
of
our
proposal.
As
the
developer
of
two
adjacent
masport
Parcels,
we
are
uniquely
positioned
to
deliver
a
cohesive,
mixed-use
campus
experience.
Lincoln
developed
the
oracport
residences
in
Hyatt
Place
and
next
up
is
Seaport
Circle,
a
650
000
square
foot
lab
in
office
building,
coupled
with
a
standalone,
15
000
square
foot.
Job
training
center
called
the
Pavilion
parcel
U
is
the
natural
third
step
of
our
multi-faced
plan
for
this
area
through
our
integrated
planning
of
all
three
developments.
M
We
also
want
to
establish
a
community
use
in
our
proposal
that
could
address
the
bpda's
goal
of
job
creation,
while
also
extending
job
opportunities
in
the
life
science
Industry
to
underserved
groups
throughout
the
city.
It's
an
acknowledgment
of
this
need
will
be
establishing
additional
space
within
the
development
to
support
the
pavilion's
mission.
This
space
could
include
a
training,
lab
classrooms
and
meeting
spaces
to
support
our
non-profit
job
training
partners,
and
this
will
help
further
contribute
to
the
pipeline
to
support
the
life
sciences
industry,
as
well
as
provide
opportunity
and
access
to
City
residents.
M
B
Miller
and
the
chair
boats,
I'm
Merchant,
hasses,
congratulations,
just
a
great
project.
I
didn't
have
any
question,
so
it
kind
of
spoke
for
itself.
So
thanks.
B
B
In
the
amount
of
125
or
no
25
000
for
a
total
annual
contract
value
of
125
000.
Laura.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
members
of
the
board
for
the
opportunity
to
continue
the
conversation
about
enhancing
the
Marine
Park,
albeit
on
a
more
modest
scale.
In
March
of
this
year,
the
board
authorized
the
award
of
a
contract
to
Casablanca
services
for
seasonal
Landscaping
in
the
Marine
Park
to
help
us
maintain
the
highest
standards
as
a
landlord
and
neighbor.
Since
that
time
we
finalized
our
landscape,
architect
designs,
our
staff
schedules
and
our
weather
predictions,
and
we've
also
undertaken
our
first
round
of
plantings
and
therefore
we
identified
the
need
for
additional
watering
services
in
targeted
areas.
O
This
will
protect
our
investment
in
the
seasonal
Planters
and
the
upgraded
Marine
Park
entrances.
This
amendment
of
25
000
would
increase
the
total
contract
value
by
25
percent
funded
through
the
bpda's
operating
budget,
and
we've
determined
that
the
specifications
and
costs
are
reasonable.
I
will
also
mention
that
we
have
been
nominated
for
an
award
from
the
Greater
Boston
Chamber
of
Commerce,
specifically
recognizing
our
partnership
with
Casablanca
as
a
minority-owned
business
Enterprise.
So
please
stay
tuned
for
updates
there
and
with
that,
thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.

hello
I

the
Director

the
bpda.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
this
time.
I
am
before
you
seeking
approval
for
the
FY
24
operating
and
capital
budget.
We
are
currently
in
the
edic

and
I
will
be
seeking

P
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
express
appreciation
for
all
the
collaboration
and
teamwork
that
went
into
this

Thank
you
to

all

leaders
across

who
have
helped
in
this
year's
budget
next

Please
and
the
next
slide
as
well.
Budgets
are
a
statement
about
what
an
organization
values
most
these
next
few
slides
show
the
various
ways
we
seek
to
honor
the
commitment
to
transparency,
predictability
and
the
creation
of
opportunity
budgets.
P
Help
managers
lead
and
track
progress
against
their
strategic
plan
with
expanded
staff.
Finance
has
continued
to
provide
intensive
support
to
leaders
across
the
agency.
We
are
expanding.
Our
efforts
in
Supplier,
Diversity
and
community
outreach,
and
the
bpda
continues
our
investment
data
Collections
and
systems
that
drive
our
work
in
real
time.
Next
slide.
Please,
the
bpda
is
in
a
secure
financial
position
because
of
the
many
years
of
financial
discipline.
P
This
annual
budget
process
is
supported
by
robust
is
supporting
robust
growth
throughout
the
agency,
as
we
seek
to
link
all
of
the
impactful
work
we
do
with
the
data
we
can
report
on
our
annual
budget
process
and
quarterly
updates
to
this
board
help
make
us
a
more
transparent
organization.
Next
slide,
please
quickly.
As
a
reminder,
I
do
like
to
point
out
that
are
the
numbers
you
are
about
to
see
are
a
reflection
of
the
combined
operating
budget
activities
of
five
different
business
units.
Structurally,
we
have
three
corporations
and
two
501c3s.
P
We
have
multiple
General
ledgers
and
use
inter-agency
grants
to
make
sure
everything
is
balanced
and
prepared
correctly
for
all
of
the
various
audits,
but
from
a
business
perspective
we
are
the
edic
and
the
era
functioning
as
the
bpda
next
slide.
Please
I
will
walk
you
through
our
operating
budget
overview.
Next
Slide.
The
revenue
categories
are,
as
you
look
at
the
proportions
of
the
whole.
You
can
see
that
the
majority
of
Revenue
this
year's
Grant
income.
This
is
owd's
revenue
and
has
little
to
no
administrative
fee
that
comes
with
it.
P
We
do
have
more
control
over
our
rental
and
Lease
revenue,
and
our
parking
Revenue
are
part
of
what
make
us
a
public
business
Enterprise,
as
I
had
mentioned
before.
When
one
entity
sends
funding
to
another
entity,
it
is
shown
as
Grant
income
to
the
receiving
entity
and
expenses
to
the
sending
entertain
next
slide.
Please
for
expenses,
as
you
can
see
again,
owd
is
growing
with
its
new
Revenue.
All
that
Grant
Revenue
will
be
spent
out
through
rfps
to
community-based
organizations
and
is
considered
contractual
expenses.
P
Fy
20
the
FY
24
budget
will
see
an
increase
in
outside
consulting
services
that
is
included
in
the
contractual
Services
category
as
well,
but
it's
small
in
comparison
to
owd's
growth.
Next
slide,
please
for
the
Consolidated
budget
view.
The
first
step
in
developing
an
annual
budget
is
establishing
reliable
projections
for
the
end
of
the
current
year
when
it
comes
to
FY.
P
Bpda
Financial
activity
plays
out
over
a
long
period
of
time
longer
than
any
one
particular
fiscal
year.
With
that
in
mind,
we
maintain
Reserve
funds
to
be
sure
that
we
can
match
up
one-time
revenues
with
one-time
expenses
that
do
not
always
take
place.
At
the
same
time,
each
year
the
bpda
resets
from
an
operating
budgetary
perspective,
we
determine
what
Revenue
we
will
be
collecting
in
the
next
fiscal
year
and
then
decide
what
expenditures
we
are
able
to
afford.
This
is
going
to
lead
us
to
the
next
column,
which
is
our
fy24
recommended
budget
for
fy24.
P
We
are
budgeting
120,
121
million
in
revenue
and
121
million
in
expenses,
leaving
us
with
a
very
minor
Surplus.
We
are
comfortable
with
this
projection
due
to
all
the
work
we
have
done
with
all
of
our
department
heads
across
the
agency
and
our
up-to-date
reporting
next
slide.
Please
for
Revenue
highlights.
Owd
is
set
to
see
a
large
increase
on
both
Grant
revenue
and
their
offsetting
expenses.
The
city
has
awarded
owd
13
million
dollars
for
fy24
to
run
success,
link
youth
employment
programs,
Federal
grant.
P
Funding
of
11.6
million
has
been
awarded
to
run
the
good
jobs,
Challenge
and
Arbor
programs,
and
8.2
million
has
been
awarded
to
fund
the
youth
Works
program,
an
increase
of
3.7
million
from
the
program
from
fi-23.
The
majority
of
this
funding
is
community-based
programming
and
will
be
distributed
to
non-profits,
as
the
fiscal
year
goes
on
for
bpda
related
Revenue.
We
see
favorable
performance
from
our
tenants
and
our
parking
lots
in
FY
23.
P
Next
slide,
please
for
expense
highlights.
The
bpda
is
committed
to
filling
out
our
Workforce
and
the
fy24
Personnel
budget
includes
324
full-time
positions
with
roughly
45
of
those
positions
vacant
with
the
FY
23
compensation
study
complete
the
FY
24
budget
reflects
meaningful
investment
in
our
staff.
The
Personnel
budget
also
includes
fund
for
merit,
increases
and
other
salary
adjustments,
as
well
as
a
new
internship
program.
We
expect
benefit
spending
to
grow
in
parallel
with
our
salary
growth
for
our
non-personnel
expenses.
P
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
owd
does
extraordinary
work,
moving
their
funds
out
to
the
community
and
their
budget
is
showing
an
increase
in
Grant
fund
Grant,
funded
expenses,
28
million
dollars.
As
a
result
of
that
increased
Revenue
note
on
this
slide.
There
are
some
other
highlights
in
our
contractual
Services
category,
Beyond
owg
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
that.
The
board
is
interested.
The
planning
department,
the
Urban
Design
Department,
the
development
review
Department
all
have
healthy
budgets
to
support
their
strategic
initiatives
that
will
kick
off
in
FY
24.
P
next
slide,
please
or
Capital
Construction
or
Capital
construction
project
priorities
are
based
on
a
comprehensive
assessment
of
the
agency's
extraordinary
infrastructure
needs.
As
in
the
past,
we
built
on
our
Dynamic
airtable
database
and
applied
criteria
such
as
Public
Safety,
asset
preservation,
Financial
Roi,
risk
of
cost
escalation
and
other,
and
the
ability
to
leverage
external
funds
for
fy24.
We
also
applied
the
lens
of
the
Strategic
work
plan,
climate
ready
Boston
and
the
Raymond
ellslin
Marine
Park
Master
Plan
update
and
Incorporated
ongoing
conversations
with
the
city
of
Boston
regarding
assets
and
liabilities.
P
We
are
proposing
51
million
dollars
across
15
new
projects,
of
which
30
million
dollars
has
been
successfully
funded
by
the
city.
Real
estate
staff
has
mapped
out
the
requested
projects
to
ensure
a
sustainable
mix
of
design
and
construction
bases
to
help
smooth
the
workload
for
procurement
and
project
managers.
Next
slide,
please,
the
bpda
has
a
large
list
of
capital
construction
projects.
Our
first
priority
is
to
complete
all
active
projects
from
previous
fiscal
years,
while
advancing
new
projects
that
are
top
priority
for
the
Capital
Construction
Department.
P
We
are
grateful
this
year
that
the
bpda
received
a
large
increase
in
city
funding
for
capital
projects.
We
know
for
a
long
time
that
the
bpda
maintains
a
large
portion
of
Waterfront
areas.
Depreciating
assets
and
annual
operating
surf
bus
has
been
moved
into
restricted
funds
for
these
projects.
Next
slide.
Please,
and
so
this
is
the
edic
portion
of
the
budget.
Edic's
FY
24
budget
has
10
projects.
P
These
projects
are
extremely
important
and
mostly
focused
on
our
public
assets
along
the
Waterfront,
including
the
South,
Jetty
Wharf
and
bulkhead
the
streets
in
the
Marine
Park,
and
any
improvements
on
the
12
channel
repair
that
we've
discussed
here
tonight.
Finance
and
procurement
will
be
working
closely
with
the
real
estate
department
to
get
these
projects
started
in
fy24
next
slide.
Please.
This
concludes
my
presentation
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
B
Well
I
just
like
to
take
a
moment
to
say:
congratulations
to
you
and
the
team
for
crossing
that
2024
budget,
Finish
Line,
it's
I
know
what
that
feels
like.
So
so
congratulations
and
so
one
question:
what
is
the
related
to
the
capital
expenditure?
What
is
the
is
the
variance
between
what
we
need
to
spend
versus
like
what
we
are
able
to
spend.
P
That's
a
great
question:
I
think
I'll
start
and
then,
if
William
or
Rebecca
might
want
to
hop
in,
we
are
maintaining
what
we
hope
is
a
lot.
A
fully
encompassing
list
in
inventory
of
all
of
the
capital
needs.
We've
estimated
that
to
be
somewhere
between,
depending
on
inflation,
that
has
happened
recently
right
somewhere
between
400
and
500
billion
dollars,
depending
on
how
far
we
go
with
some
of
these
projects.
P
So,
given
that
we
have
I
think
roughly
about
18
million
dollars
in
reserve,
we're
not
getting
there,
and
so
you
know
I
think
at
first.
Our
one
of
the
first
strategies
was
all
those
House
doctor
and
work
order,
agreement
contracts
that
we
have
sought.
P
Your
approval
for
has
put
the
real
estate
construction
team
in
a
position
to
do
a
lot
of
scoping
and
feasibility
work
at
the
same
time,
and
so
our
hope
is
that
we'll
start
to
put
out
larger,
more
comprehensive
projects
similar
to
what
you're,
seeing
in
our
South
Jetty
project
and
I,
think
that
that
is
a
part,
as
these
conversations
have
started
with
the
city
that
we're
so
grateful
for
this
increased
funding
to
address
these
public
assets.
P
B
Question
yeah,
absolutely,
you
know,
I
really
appreciate
the
clarity
of
your
response
and
and
also
just
of
the
presentation
in
in
general,
of
how
you
know
you
and
your
team
are.
Are
you
know,
helping

working
with
everyone
to
plan

invest
responsibly,

easier?

meetings

R
J
Good
afternoon,
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the
board
I'm
here
today
to
speak
to
you
about
Texas
amendments
to
article
20.
next
slide,
please
so
a
Boston
Civic
design,
commissioner,
as
we
call
it,
the
bcdc
is
an
Advisory
Board
and
body
that
is
comprised
of
members
with
demonstrated
interests
or
expertise
in
Urban
Design.
J
It's
particularly
of
importance
that
this
group
gives
Integrity
to
building
structures,
Open
Spaces,
Parks
monuments
and
really
contributes
to
Boston's
distinctive
character
and
human
scale.
Next
slide
today,
we're
bringing
forward
some
changes
that
really
look
at
the
modernization
of
the
bcdc
to
really
work
with
a
lot
of
the
feedback
we've
heard
from
the
community
around
our
needs,
around
affordability,
resiliency
and
equity,
and
particularly
look
at
guiding
balance
growth
in
Boston
next.
F
J
We
held
a
series
of
three
workshops
over
the
last
year
with
the
bcdc
that
were
very
well
attended,
both
by
the
Commissioners
and
by
members
of
the
public.
During
these
workshops,
we
discussed
changes
to
the
process
and
structure
of
that
can
really
enabled
for
a
better
streamlining
of
the
process
within
bcdc
and
to
provide
greater
transparency
to
community
members.
A
lot
of
the
feedback
we
received
from
the
Commissioners
themselves
was
that
the
review
process
often
fell
too
fast
and
too
focused
and
that
they
didn't
have
enough
contacts.
J
We
really
took
all
of
this
feedback
to
heart
and
really
started
to
take
a
look
at
ways
in
which
we
can
improve
the
processes
and
ensure
that
we
have
the
expertise
needed
to
address
these
goals.
Next
slide
the
changes
we
are
bringing
forward,
we
have
divided
into
three
buckets.
The
first
is
really
focused
on
commission
composition.
J
We
are
bringing
some
changes
to
you
today
that
look
at
the
addition
of
the
two
bpda
administrative
roles
to
facilitate
conversations
on
the
bcdc
that
represent
both
planning
and
Urban
Design
contacts.
These
are
ex-officio
non-voting,
bpda
seats
that
will
be
occupied
by
the
planning
director
and
the
deputy
chief
of
Urban
Design.
J
These
changes
really
reflect
our
goals:
to
align
the
commission
with
the
goals
of
the
city
and
to
allow
for
more
diverse
viewpoints
and
to
really
create
opportunities
for
a
wider
range
of
professionals
to
contribute
to
our
interdisciplinary
challenges
we
face
as
a
city.
Next
slide,
we've
also
looked
at
modernization
that
included
procedures
and
review
and
recommendations
to
be
in
an
order
to
streamline
the
process.
J
We
also
wanted
to
recognize
that
the
BP
at
bpda
staff,
recommendations
and
bpda
design
criteria
are
acknowledged
in
the
design
review
process
and
we've
also
expanded
the
definition
of
projects
to
special
significance
to
include
projects
over
one
acre
in
size
and
include
open
space.
Given
the
amount
of
projects
we've
seen
come
in
at
this
scale
within
our
city
and
again
just
clarified,
EA
staff
will
continue
to
maintain
meeting
records
records.
The
outcomes
associated
with
this
set
of
changes
are
really
about
creating
a
more
predictable
timeline
for
our
opponents.
J
J
The
final
section
is
really
focused
around
code
Conformity
and
streamlining
in
an
effort
to
streamline
the
code
itself,
we
took
the
ammo
section
and
moved
that
content
to
the
purpose.
Section.
We've
also
focused
on
the
removal
of
the
procedures
for
review,
which
is
section
13
and
replace
the
disapproval
and
redesign
section
and
combine
that
with
the
advisory
recommendations
to
provide
greater
clarity.
B
F
B
Just
have
just
one
question
again:
anytime:
we're
kind
of
doing
these
large
Investments
or
changes
that
are
being
codified.
Just
want
to
you
know
quickly,
recap
and
summarize,
before
taking
the
vote.
Kind
of
you
know
clarify
the.
B
Why
like
why
you
know,
what's
the
business
case,
what's
a
hypothesis,
why
did
you
kind
of
see
this
these
changes
as
being
necessary
and
being
and
and
be
Quantified
so
and
and
kind
of
you
went
through
the
outcome,
so
I
think
I
think
we
we
went
through
the
results
of
what
you
think
it'll
be,
but
yeah
just
kind
of
clarify
the.
Why
and
then
the
second
question
is:
are
there
any
kind
of
risks
to
making
these
changes
that
we
should
be
aware
of
yeah.
J
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
to
answer
your
first
question
the
why
around
this
is
being
responsive
as
a
city
to
the
growing
challenges
you
see
in
our
city
and
I
am
a
designer
by
trainee,
and
it's
just
really
important
to
look
at
being
able
to
bring
our
disciplinary
talent
to
a
lot
of
the
issues
we
face
as
a
city,
and
a
lot
of
these
changes
really
reflect
that
and
are
greater
desire
to
have
alignment
with
our
broader
City
and
planning
goals
so
that
we
are
moving
projects
together
in
alignment
with
each
other,
so
I
the.
J
In
terms
of
your
second
question,
around
risk,
I
would
say
that
we
don't
necessarily
foresee
any
risks
associated
with
these
changes.
You
believe
these
changes
reflect
the
direction
that
the
architecture,
engineering
and
construction
industry
has
been
going
in,
in
which
you
know
in
recent
years.
You've
recognized
how
design
Solutions
can
solve
for
a
lot
of
our
babies
she's
in
our
society
through
the
built
environments.
B
Okay,
thank
you
appreciate
it.
Any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board
hearing
and
saying
non-emotion
is
in
order.
It'll.
B
Bye
and
the
terabits
I
motion
passes
good
luck
to
you
and
your
design
team.
We
we
look
forward
to
seeing
the
outcomes.
Thank
you
very
much.
Okay.
B
V
Hi
good
evening,
members
of
the
board
secretary
Miss
and
Dr
jemisin
I'm,
Kathleen,
onifer
and
I'm,
the
interims
director
in
regulatory
planning
and
zoning,
and
so
I
want
to
walk
through
this
request,
both
in
terms
of
understanding
their
current
process
and
all
the
work
that
goes
into
Jeff,
bringing
those
48
recommendations
for
the
board
of
appeals.
V
That
happened
two
items
ago
to
you
and
how
that
we
think
these
changes
will
allow
us
to
have
processes
that
are
both
more
effective
in
conveying
excellent
planning
recommendations
consistent
in
our
interaction
with
the
board
of
appeal
and
will
provide
less
stress
on
staff.
V
So
you
know
over
the
last
couple
of
years
the
ISD
is
processing
approximately
4
000
long-form
building
permits.
So
that's
folks,
coming
in
and
applying
for
a
building
permit
of
those
applications.
Approximately
25
are
refused
for
a
zoning
violation
and
of
those
cases
when
they
are
scheduled
for
a
hearing
in
previous
years.
You
know
the
bpda
had
been
providing
approximately
a
thousand
recommendations
and
so
somewhere
between
900
to
1200
cases.
V
V
64
of
those
cases
were
article
80
projects
where
the
board's
recommendation,
through
article
80,
becomes
our
recommendation
to
the
board
of
appeal
and
over
95
90
of
them.
659
were
sub-article
80
cases
where
staff
prepare
an
individual
recommendation
for
your
endorsement.
V
V
That
means
that
sometimes
these
the
calendar
and
sort
of
scheduling
of
when
a
bpda
board
meeting
is
or
when
a
DBA
hearing
schedule
may
happen,
can
result
in
a
zpa
case
with
no
BPA
recommendation,
and
so,
for
example,
this
week
there
will
be
three
cases
going
to
board
of
appeal
hearing
without
a
recommendation
for
the
BPA.
As
a
result
of
this
scheduling
at
Quark
plans.
O
V
Just
sometimes
arrive
too
late
in
order
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
that
occur
before
the
full
review
occur
before
the
board
meeting.
In
order
to
get
a
recommendation
more
frequently,
plans
and
more
free,
particularly
on
significant
projects
that
really
attract
both
planning
and
Community
attention.
V
Plans
will
be
updated
as
a
result
of
the
bpda
board.
Adoption
of
Staff
recommendations,
as
well
as
ongoing
Community
process
on
a
zba
case,
and
that
means
that
when
this
case
then
goes
to
the
board
of
appeal,
the
bpda
recommendation
is
out
of
date
and
the
current
process
does
not
provide
us
the
ability
to
generate
updated
recommendations,
particularly
given
that
challenge
of
misaligned
schedules
between
the
BPA
board
meeting
schedule
and
the
board
of
appeal
hearing
schedule
next
slide.
V
Please,
and
so
we're
proposing
a
change
through
the
delegation
of
rather
than
these
recommendations,
the
going
to
the
board
each
month.
The
bpda
board,
delegating
the
authority
to
submit
those
recommendations
to
the
board
of
appeal
to
the
director.
V
Bpd
planners
would
still
prepare
recommendations
in
their
current
format,
including
applying
good
planning
principles
within
the
context
of
existing
plans.
Of
the
bpda
board
has
adopted
to
review
cases
and
develop
their
recommendation,
including
consultation
with
BPD
Urban,
Design
and
transportation
planning
staff
as
needed
on
cases.
V
And
so
our
recommendation
is
that,
in
order
to
provide
more
complete
and
timelier
recommendations,
the
Zoning
Board
of
appeal
we're
recommending
that
the
board
hereby
authorize
the
director
to
submit
said
recommendations
to
the
board
of
appeal
on
behalf
of
the
agency.
Thank
you
and
I'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
E
V
So
we
have
had
individual
cases
that,
based
on
the
scheduling,
Quark
didn't
have
a
recommendation,
and
that
was
no
like
no
one's
fault
in
the
process
and
an
assumption
right
would
be
that
that
homeowner
or
that
developer
did
something
wrong
and
it
was
just
the
when
their
building
permit
got
processed
and
what
the
calendar
was.
V
I
also
think
that
as
a
homeowner
or
a
developer,
make
a
response
to
a
planning
recommendation
that
we
make
our
ability
to
update
that
recommendation
in
order
to
show
the
sort
of
change
to
our
recommendation
as
it
goes
before
the
board
of
appeal
and
will
provide
greater
Clarity
for
them.
In
terms
of
the
the
planning
recommendation
that
we're
making
great.
Q
B
You're,
trying
to
streamline
so
definitely
understand
kind
of
the
root
causes
there,
but
do
we,
what
type
of
Technology
do
we
use
to
manage
this
process
just
curious.
V
That's
a
really
great
question
and
something
we're
in
a
lot
of
conversations
with
ISD
who
manage
the
board
of
appeal
process
in
order
to
continue
to
sort
of
streamline
the
effectiveness
of
this.
So
there
are
parts
of
this
that
are
where
the
technology
is
really
effective
and
there's
parts
of
this
where
long-term,
bpda
staffer
Joanne
Marcus,
is
absolutely
essential.
It's
sometimes
chasing
down
paper
plans
in
order
to
really
make
sure
that
we
have
the
most
up-to-date
information.
V
So
we
enter
all
of
the
cases
that
we're
providing
a
recommendation
in
again,
starting
in
the
last
year
into
air
table
in
order
that
we're
creating
a
database
of
both
our
the
cases
themselves,
as
well
as
our
recommendations,
and
so
that's
something
we're
excited
about
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
both
manage
this
on
a
consistent
basis,
but
also
to
better
track
some
of
those
Trends
and
recommendations
and
be
able
to
find
to
sort
of
provide
that
at
a
very
broad
level
and
a
detailed
level.
B
Okay,
thank
you
and
since
we're
just
wanted
to
to
like
State
for
the
record,
make
sure
that
we
as
board
members
understand
this
is
a
a
motion
to
or
recommendation
to,
delegate
right,
delegate
oversight
that
the
board
previously
had
and
that
to
the
to
the
director
and
want
to
call
off
kind
of
call
out
the
the
last
bullet
point
there.
B
Well,
if,
if
this
passes-
and
we
do
delegate
that
I
do
want
it
to
to
be
noted
that
the
planning
staff
will
be
submitting
a
quarterly
report
on
the
trends
and
the
recommendations,
and
so
that
is
how
kind
of
I
personally
got
comfortable
that
with
the
delegation
and
that
we
still
have
some
sort
of
reporting
and
not
so
yeah.
Any
other
questions.
Comments
started
yeah.
W
A
question
as
we
move
to
streamline
this
process:
are
we
making
sure
that
a
community
group
for
our

item
number:
seven
request
authorization
to
amend
a
certain
license
agreement
with
the
courageous
Sailing
Center
of
Boston
Incorporated
to
extend
the
term
of
the
current
license
agreement
until
December
31st
2026,
and
to
include
two
one-year
option
terms
to
permit
the
continued
use
of
a
portion
of
bra
on
land
located
at
Pier
4
in
the
Charlestown
Navy
yard,
for
a
youth
sailing
program,
known
as
the
courageous
Sailing
Center
Dennis.
Thank.
I
You,
madam
chair,
courageous,
Sailing
Center,
as
well
I
think
we
all
know
has
been
attended
on
pier
four
in
the
Charleston
aviad
for
almost
20
years
now
they
provide
an
opportunity
for
children
in
the
city
of
Boston
to
learn
the
sport
and
sailing
of
free
of
charge.
They
currently
utilize
the
peer
to
birth,
their
vessels
Park
their
their
vehicles
host
their
corporate
office,
fundraise
events
and
the
meeting
musters
place
for
this
alien.
I
Your
current
license
term
expires
in
December
of
2023
and
in
recent
years,
they've
been
limited
to
a
single
year.
Extensions.
Only
we're
requesting
permission
today
to
extend
it
through
December
31st
of
2026,
and
also
to
increase
the
landlord
approved
evening.
Fundraising,
events
from
the
current
limit
of
10
to
15.,
the
reason
I
stress
landlord
approved
is
that
they
will
still
need
to
get
approval
in
a
permit
from
the
city
of
Boston
licensing
board,
so
we're
not
speaking
for
The
Residency
board
only
as
the
landlord
we're
not
objecting.
I
Some
fundraising
is
chat
currently
challenged
by
the
year-to-year
status.
The
three-year
commitment
will
allow
courageous
to
be
more
strategic
and
they
find
or
anything
for
example's
weddings
and
corporate
Retreats.
Frequently
book
more
than
a
year
in
advance,
so
they're
losing
our
a
lot
of
those
opportunities.
So
for
that
reason
we
are
requesting
an
extension
of
the
peripheral
license
through
December
31st
2026
and
the
increase
in
the
post
dusk,
fundraising
opportunities
from
10
to
15,
subject
to
the
city
of
Boston
group.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
Okay,
just
want
to
say
you
know
as
a
as

B
To
fail,
I
I
really
do

up.

All

The

which
are
listed
here
as
stantec
and
silencome
and
MLF
Consulting,
we
believe,

They
bring
together,
National
expertise

Zoning
analysis

compelling

AB
B
All
right,
just
you
know,
given
the
size
of
the
investment
just
want
to
clarify.
So
can
you
clarify
kind
of
high
level
the
why
you
know
why
we're
doing
this?
What
is
the
outcome
that
we're
hoping
to
see
and
then,
as
you
mentioned,
the
any
changes
would
be
come
to
the

right
for
approval,
but
does
that
do
you
intend
for
that
to
be
kind
of
all
at
once
in

know
package,

do
you
kind
of
anticipate
it
being
kind
of
been
prioritized

having
kind
of.
AB
AB
In
terms
of
the,
why
I'll
just
say
a
little
bit
my
perspective
and
I'll
invite
my
Christopher
to
jump
in
as
well.
You
know
the
code
itself
was
put
into
place
in
1996,
it's
been
a
couple
of
decades
since
it
was
analyzed
and
updated,
and
so
we
believe
at
a
staff
level
that
there's
potential
to
sort
of
bring
it
up
into
the
21st
century
and
really
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
right
by
the
people
that
we
sell
through

reviews.

Thank
you
manager,
good
evening,
members
of
the
board,
director,
Jameson
and
Secretary
of
Communist.
My
name
is
Camino
Platt
and
I'm
the
project
manager
for
the
proposed
project
at
521,
the
523
Cambridge
Street
in
Austin.
Today,
the
proposed
project
is
located
just
west
of
the
intersection
of
Cambridge
Street
and
North
Haven
Street
for
project
size
comprised
of
two
Parcels
containing
approximately
9045
square
feet
of
land.
Y
The
Proposal
includes
the
demolition
of
both
an
existing
two-story
structure
presently
used
for
office
space
and
in
an
existing
one-story
Repair
Service
Garage,
as
well
as
the
termination
of
use
of
the
used
car
rocket
scans
across
the
majority
of
the
property
new
in
construction,
will
include
the
creation
of
a
six-story
33
unit
residential
program,
which
includes
six
Studios,
eight
team,
one
bedroom
units,
seven
two
bedrooms
and
two
three
bedroom
units
and
approximately
1021
square
feet
of
residential
anomaly
space.
Taking
advantage
of
its
Transit
Rich
location.
The
proposed
project
will
provide
zero
on-site
funding.
Y
Spaces
Professor
will
feature
a
significant
increase
in
landscape
area,
with
the
introduction
of
Green
Space
hunting
on
Cambridge
Street
and
along
the
western
edge
of
the
project
site.
The
article
eating
process
began
in
January
of
2023.
Since
then,
the
project
has
evolved
to
meet
existing
neighborhood
context,
with
the
help
of
staff
and
Community
feedback.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
awesome,
great
Community
elected
officials
and
staff
who
participated
in
the
articulated
process
to
bother
to
what
was
performed
today
and
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
Yari
Cortez
to
walk
us
through
the
Chrome

Thank
you

good
evening
secretary
Paul,
hemis,
director,
Jemison
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Yadi
Cortes
and
I
am
a

The
proposed
project
is
located
within
the
Austin
Brian
Mobility
study
plan
adopted
in
2022,
which
focuses
on
increasing
Mobility
for
all.
During
the
review
period,
staff
focused
on
affordability,
design,
streetscape
improvements
with
special
focus
on
Cambridge
Street
and
eliminating
parking
due
to
the
proposed
Project's
proximity
to
the
MBTA,
Green
Line
bus
routes
and
commuter
rail
next
slide.
AF
The
proposed
project
contributes
to
the
overall
walkability
of
the
area
and
encourages
multimodovability,
as
described
in
the
Austin
brand
Mobility
study.
The
proposed
project
is
split
between
the
Harvard
Community
commercial
CC1
and
one
family
residential
one
of
three
thousand
sub-districts
in
the
Austin
Brighton
Sony
District,
but
the
proposed
density
and
height
respond
to
the
site's
proximity
to
multimodal
Transit
options
and
proximity
to
a
major
neighborhood
commercial
area.
These
conditions
support
many
of
the
city's
goals
in
reducing
private
vehicle
trips.

Good
evening,
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
director
Jemison
secretary
Plumas.
My
name
is
Johanna
Schneider,
I'm
legal
counsel
for
the
project
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
521
to
523,
Cambridge
LLC
with
me
on
the
line
or
Milan
and
Manny

the
developers
Rob
Del
Savio
from
the
park,
our
project
architect
and
Jay
Walsh,
our
community,
releasing
consultant
as
Camille
described,
we're
here
tonight
with
a
project
that
proposes
to
replace
an
existing
used
car
dealership
on
Cambridge
Street
in
Austin,
with
a
33-unit
multi-family
residential
development.
AG
AG
Over
the
last
year,
we
worked
with
btda
staff
and
we've
really
sought
to
Leverage
The
Unique
location
of
this
project
by
providing
no
on-site
parking,
while
focusing
on
promoting
the
use
of
biking
and
walking,
and
also
providing
a
robust
Transportation
demand
Management
program,
which
will
include
providing
each
new
tenant
with
a
300
voucher
for
the
mode
of
transportation
of
their
choice.
Blue
bikes
membership,
car
sharing
Etc.
There
are
numerous
other
benefits
associated
with
this
project,
including
the
creation
of
five
on-site
IDP
units,
including
a
three-bedroom
unit.
That
will
create
an
opportunity
for
families.
AG
I
also
want
to
note
that
close
to
18
of
the
Project's
square
footage
is
devoted
to
affordable
housing.
We
will
be
providing
within
the
building
all
electric
systems.
We
will
be
making
it
in
kind
contribution
to
the
city's
Route
57
study,
which
is
an
offshoot
of
the
Austin
Brighton
Mobility
study.
We
also
will
be
closing
existing
curve
cuts
on
the
site
and
implementing
multiple
enhancements
to
the
public,
including
the
addition
of
significant
new
landscaping
and
a
number
of
New
Street
trees.
AG
N
Thank
you
Johanna.
If
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
so,
as
Johanna
summarized
we're
in
a
the
Austin
Brighton
neighborhood
we're
spanning
between
two
different
zoning
districts,
the
one
at
3000,
as
well
as
the
CC1,
we'll
see
that
in
a
little
bit
more
detail
in
a
moment,
there's
an
overall
lot
size
of
nine
about
nine
thousand
square
feet
and
we're
posing
new
construction
of
a
six-story
residential
building.
With
no
on-site
parking.
We've
got
plenty
of
bicycle
parking
provided
at
42
spaces
for
the
residents
and
total
unit.
Count
is
about
30
to
33.
N
for
the
next
slide,
please
so
just
to
orient
everybody.
Their
circled
area
in
red
is
the
site.
It
lies
on
Cambridge
Street,
not
too
far
off
of
Union
Square,
just
the
West
Union
Square,
and
you
can
see
at
this
point
in
Cambridge,
Street
North,
beacons
start
to
narrow
a
bit
and
that
will
become
important
as
we
look
at
the
elevations,
because,
in
the
stack
of
all
four
size
of
this
building
become
highly
visible,
you'll
see
that
we
treated
the
elevations
accordingly
next
slide.
Please
just
looking
down
almost
a
planned
view
of
the
site.
N
The
site
is
split
between
the
one
at
three
thousand
district
and
the
CC1
District.
It's
on
the
right
here.
There's
commercials
building
to
the
right
and
other
fast
food,
restaurants
in
the
rear
and
then
531
Cambridge
Street
is
a
four
or
four
or
five
story,
residential
building
which
was
built
about
20
years
ago.
Just
it's
still
off
the
bus.
Next
slide.
N
So
this
is
a
photograph
of
the
site.
The
two-story
white
residential
looking
building
is
the
what
lies
in
the
one
F2
3000
District.
That
building
is
currently
used
as
the
office
space
for
the
used
car
lot,
which
is
owned
by
the
developer,
so
it
spans
across
the
site
to
the
right
you
can
see
on
the
right
hand,
side.
The
street
Frontage
is
pretty
difficult
to
maintain
right
now
and
manage,
given
that
it's
just
front
ends
of
cars
coming
out
to
the
sidewalk.
N
N
So
here
you
can
see
the
one
out
of
three
thousand
slice
of
the
land
on
the
left-hand
side,
where
the
two-story
office
building
was
supporting
the
res
the
commercial
space
on
the
right
hand
side
because
of
its
use
of
the
car
a
lot
it's
about
50
feet
of
existing
curb
cut
that
will
be
abandoned
entirely
when
we
go
to
the
new
development
plan,
so
we'll
reinstate
that
curved
line
and
completely
reconstruct
the
sidewalk
from
the
curb
line
back
to
the
property
line.
Next
slide.
N
Please
here
are
some
context
views
the
top
series
of
views
are
all
on
the
Cambridge
Street
side,
which
is
our
side
of
the
property.
The
middle
slide
is
our
immediate
of
butter.
That
I'm
saying
is
about
four
plus
one
story,
which
you
can't
see
here
that
lies
just
to
the
west
of
our
site.
As
you
go
further
up,
Cambridge
Street,
it
becomes
more
to
you,
know:
two-story
single
family,
residential
developments,
but
that's
a
good
distance
been
up
from
where
the
the
middle
photograph
is
taken.
N
Why,
across
the
street,
is
a
series
of
four-story
three-story
residential
buildings
and
as
you
again
for
as
you
start
heading
further
west
on
Cambridge
Street,
it
becomes
more
to
family
three
family
type
buildings
next
sliders
and
as
I
was
saying
that
the
site
lies
at
a
point,
almost
a
point
between
Cambridge
Street
and
North
Beacon.
So
a
lot
of
the
development
that's
happening
is
happening
on
both
sides
and
highly
visible,
and
it
forms
the
massing
and
the
scalable
we're
proposing
here
exercises.
N
So
these
are
the
rust
floor
plans.
The
affordability,
as
Johanna
was
saying,
was
almost
18
percent.
We
have
a
good
mixture
of
unit
types,
including
a
three
bedroom
unit,
which
we
worked
hard
to
get
to
work
into
the
plan,
but
a
three
bedroom
unit.
On
the
second
floor,
with
a
two-bedroom
unit
on
the
first
floor,
we've
got
good
visibility
on
all
the
units
without
constructions,
the
rear
of
us.
They
have
good
sight
lines
as
well
as
those
fronting
along
Cambridge.
Street
also
have
good
sight
lines
next
slide,
please.
N
N
Residents
have
outdoor
space
and
that's
come
as
a
result
of
us
being
able
to
push
the
building
up
the
page
or
further
deeper
into
the
site
or
aligning
with
533
Cambridge
Street,
which
is
the
butter
just
the
left
in
this
drawing
so
creating
good
amount
of
outdoor
Green
Space
way
in
excess
of
any
of
the
green
space
that
exists
on
site
today
and
giving
up
the
entire.
Both
lots
are
fully
improved
and
then
easily
accessible.
N
Bicycle
parking
is
on
the
corner
in
the
back
right
shown
in
red
Cycles,
a
landscape
plan
again
with
that
increased
setback
from
the
property
line.
We're
able
to
do
a
fair
amount
of
planting
to
allow
us
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
privacy
and
some
screening
to
those
two
three
patios
that
we
were
showing
along
Amory
Street
and
the
same
goes
on
the
left-hand
side,
where
we're
pushing
our
building
back
a
good
distance
from
that
fence
line
and
allowing
the
two
units
that
are
down
there
to
have
some
outdoor
space
next
slide.
N
Please
so
elevationally
again,
because
the
building
is
almost
on
this
point,
we're
highly
exposed
from
all
Vantage
points.
So
there's
really
no
back
to
the
building.
We've
done
a
lot
of
work
to
make
sure
that
the
use
of
materials
are
all
similar
from
all
four
faces.
They
have
a
feature:
a
combination
of
brick
Cast,
Stone
Products,
which
is
what's
showing
this
sort
of
light.

Good
evening,
members
of
the
board
director,
Jemison
and
secretary
Pokemons,
my
name
is
Adriana
lasso
Harrier
and
I'm,
a
neighborhood
planner
covering
Dorchester.
Although
the
project
before
you
is
located
in
Dorchester,
its
zoning
is
part
of
article
6C,
which
is
the
greater
Mattapan
neighborhood
District,
which
makes
it
subject
to
the
planning
recommendations
that
are
outlined
in
plan
Mattapan.
AD
The
current
neighborhood
plan
adopted
in
2023.,
the
proposed
project,
is
fully
aligned
with
the
planning
goals
of
plan
out
of
n,
including
those
of
supporting
matapan's
capacity,
is
a
neighborhood
with
plentiful
and
accessible
homeownership
opportunities,
and
also
of
developing
multi-family
Housing
close
to
Transit.
I'll.
Also
note
that
this
proposed
project
is
located
in
the
planning
boundaries
of
the
Fairmont
planning
initiative,
which
is
a
planning
process
that
was
established
in
2012
that
laid
out
a
comprehensive
Transit
oriented
vision
for
the
whole
neighborhood
Corridor
along
the
Therma
Indigo
line.
AD
Additionally,
staff
worked
with
the
proponent
to
set
the
building
back
far
enough
to
create
dimension
for
Street
trees
along
the
entire
Frontage
of
the
project
pending
board
approval
staff
will
continue
to
work
with
a
proponent
on
refining
exterior
design
such
as
cornices
porch
window
types
and
storefront
details,
I'll
hand
it
over
to
Declan
and
the
rest
of
the
project
team.
Now.
AK
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
Declan
Keefe
I'm,
one
of
the
developers
and
architects
of
this
project.
My
company's
name
is
co-everything
and
we're
working
with
daily
development
as
a
co-development
partner,
and
what
we're
looking
at
here
is
really
identifying
that
it's
two
different
sites
that
we're
looking
at
today.
It
came
in
1rb.
That's
why
we're
reviewing
them
together,
but
we
have
both
those
sites
and
they're
separated
by
three
triple
Deckers
in
between
next
slide.
AK
Please,
you
can
see
I'll
reference,
the
smaller
site
as
the
Standish
Street
site
and
I'll
reference,
the
other
along
Harvard
and
the
Harvard
Street
site,
and
you
can
see
in
this
plan
here
that
that's
right
next
to
the
train
line
next
slide.
Please
and
both
of
the
sites
just
for
contacts
in
the
street
are
both
empty.
You
can
see
in
the
image
on
the
right
the
proximity
to
the
closest
Triple
Decker.
AK
So,
as
was
stated,
this
is
actually
in
Dorchester,
but
it
falls
within
the
greater
Mattapan
three
at
five
thousand
District,
so
we
had
reviewers
from
both
Dorchester
and
matapan
side
of
things.
As
we
were
going
through
this
process.
AK
We
believe
our
proposal
matches
the
neighborhood
scale
of
those
three-story
triple
Deckers
along
Standish
Street.
We've
also
included
a
small
commercial
space.
That
is
near
the
one
story
that
you
can
see
there,
which
is
recently
been
renovated
into
commercial
spaces
and
the
other
one
story
across
the
street
that
has
a
corner
store
there
too.
AK
You
can
see
here
is
a
campaign
that
everything
in
our
team
has
been
working
on.
We
noticed
there's
working
with
some
Tree
Experts,
there's
a
lot
of
invasive
trees
on
the
property
and
some
that
are
not
doing
well,
and
so.
Instead
of
just
removing
the
trees,
we
started
a
campaign
with
organizations
like
speak
for
the
trees
and
the
Harvard
triangle.
AK
Tree
canopy
campaign
with
Cynthia
Francis,
was
in
the
neighborhood
and
is
one
of
the
directors
of
one
of
the
neighborhood
associations
and
we're
planning
to
add
far
more
trees
than
we'll
be
removed,
working
with
neighbors
along
Standish
and
Harvard
to
have
them
advocate
for
additional
trees
as
part
of
the
city's
tree
planting
campaign.
That's
all
in
addition
to
the
trees
that
we
will
be
putting
on
our
site
itself
next
slide.
AK
So
here
you
can
see
the
context
of
both
of
them
along
the
street,
with
buildings
set
back
allowing
for
space
in
front
of
the
commercial
space
along
Harvard,
and
you
can
see
that
we've
also
stepped
it
stepped
the
Harvard
Street
Building
back
along
Standish
Street
for
more
space
there
and
accessible
travel
from
the
parking.
As
it
was
noted,
you
can
see
that
the
parking
covers
50
of
the
22
units
that
are
being
offered
and
to
split
between
the
two
different
Lots
see
the
standard
Street
Building
is
sort
of
this.
AK
This
is
just
a
note
that
the
the
street
section
here
steps
down
for
a
commercial
we're
allowing
accessibility
along
the
street
as
the
roadway
changes
elevation
along
Harder
Street
next
and
here's
elevations
of
the
Harvard
building.
We
can
see
in
the
bottom
right
hand
corner
of
the
actual
facade.
That
is
a
long
Harvard
Street
itself
showing
front
entryway
both
for
residential,
which
is
sort
of
in
the
middle
of
the
building
and
on
the
far
right
is
the
commercial
located
there,
because
it's
most
closely
connected
to
the
other
commercial
spaces
that
are
across
the
street.
AK
You
can
see
here
different
siding
types
that
will
be
used
throughout
this
building
mixes
of
vertical
and
horizontal
brick
in
the
commercial
area
and
balconies,
for
nearly
all
of
the
units
that
you
can
see
on
several
of
the
rear,
facades,
excellent
and,
as
you
saw
before,
this
is
a
rendering
from
the
corner
of
where
Harvard
and
Standish
meet.
That's
that
commercial
entry.
That's
yes
most
near
us.
In
this
view,
we
don't
have
a
specific
tenant
for
the
commercial
space.
AK
Yet,
though
Travis
Lee
and
the
daily
development
team
have
a
track
record
in
the
neighborhood
of
working
with
local
businesses
to
come
and
locate
their
businesses,
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
actually
sell
this
this
as
a
commercial
condo,
so
a
unique
opportunity
for
a
business
or
nonprofit
to
own
their
own
space,
indoorchester
and
next
slide.
Please
and
here's
just
a
simple
section
of
standard
Street,
not
as
much
elevation
change
there.
AK
This
is
also
an
ADA
ground
floor,
accessible
next
slide
and
here's
the
elevations
of
the
Standish
Street
Building,
as
I
mentioned
before.
If
you
look
at
the
bottom
right
hand
corner
that's
the
facade
facing
extended
Street
the
idea
of
this,
that
it
is
sort
of
two
triple
Deckers
next
to
one
another,
just
like
the
row
of
triple
Deckers
that
is,
is
besides
next
and
hear
the
rendering
of
that
I
was
talking
about
on
both
both
buildings
in
Harvard
and
in
Standish.
AK
We
provided
these
planting
beds
and
screening
of
where
the
parking
is
also
added.
This
sort
of
accessible
ramp
that
ties
into
this
front
porch
for
the
Standish
that
gives
an
accessible
path
from
the
parking
as
well
next
slide
that
this
was
covered
at
the
beginning,
but
just
as
a
reminder,
that's
22,
homeownership
again,
it's
all
of
which
will
be
affordable.
AK
B
Thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
before
from
the
board.
G
I'm
wondering
what
Provisions
you
may
have
made
for
the
survival
of
the
new
trees
going
in.
AK
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question
and
it's
actually
sort
of
the
central
point
of
the
campaign
that
we've
been
working
on
and
speak
for.
The
trees
has
a
whole
part
of
they're,
a
non-profit
that
works
with
as
one
of
their
programs
works
with
local
homeowners
and
does
training
programs
on
how
could
a
homeowner
essentially
adopt
a
tree
to
take
care
of
it
and
make
sure
that
it
survives?
AK
And
so
it's
partly
why
we've
worked
with
them
as
a
partner
so
that,
as
we
do
advocacy
in
the
campaign
throughout
the
neighborhood,
not
only
will
we
put
trees
around
but
we'll
find
folks
from
the
neighborhood
who
are
willing
to
adopt
and
take
care
of
them,
and
so
it's
not
just
puts
them
there,
but
also
sort
of
builds
Community
along
the
way,
which
is
part
of
our
sort
of
focus
in
our
company.
Generally.
B
Additional
questions
or
comments
just
like
to
comment:
the
the
turn
we've
been
seeing,
but
with
this
in
particular
of
the
affordable
home
ownership
units
being
added
to
to
our
housing,
stock
and
I,
think
it's
a
great
addition
as
well
for
that
commercial
space
to
be
ownership,
intention
as
well
for
a
business,
a
local
business
or
non-profit,
or
you
know
so,
I
like
that.
Okay,
there
are
no
questions
or
or
concerns
motion
is
an
order.
No.
B
Okay,
so
we
have
now
reached
the
the
time
to
to
switch
over
to
our
public
hearings,
we're
going
to
take
a
brief
five-minute
break
to
to
take
a
break
before
that,
so
we'll
be
back
at
5.

proposed
conversion
and
Rehabilitation
of
the
existing
office
building
located
at
55

and
creating
a
new
bike
parking
and
shower
facility,
on
the
plaza
at
the

Take
you
through
the
project,
Angel
Guzman
from
our
downtown
and
neighborhood
planning
team.
We'll
give
you
the
planning
context
for
the
project.
Additionally,
could
I
request
that
Kathy
Bell
about
the
architecture
project
be

Thank
you.
AM
Thank
you.
Thank
you
Nick
and
good
evening
secretary
paulimes
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Angel
Guzman
and
I
am
a
bpda
planner
with
the
zoning
compliance
team.
The
project
side
is
located
within
the
downtown
business
district,
which
is
the
subject
of
plan
downtown
a
bpda
planning
initiative
that
began
in
September
2018,
but
was
suspended
in
February
2020
because
of
the
covid-19
pandemic
and
restarted
in
November
2022..
AM
The
stated
goal
of
the
plan
is
to
develop
a
new
framework
for
the
preservation,
enhancement
and
growth
of
downtown
Boston
as
a
place
for
all,
balancing
livability,
daylight
walkability,
climate
change,
preparedness,
access
to
open
space,
affordability
and
a
dynamic
mix
of
uses.
Since
the
plan
is
ongoing,
bbda
planning
division
staff
has
continued
to
review
projects
under
the
framework
of
neighborhood
context
adopted
city-wide
plants,
including
imagine
Boston,
and
go
Boston
2030.
AM
The
zoning
code
and
public
feedback
to
review
the
project
staff
also
reviews
Associated
public
realm
improvements
for
alignment
with
the
draft
plan,
downtown
recommendations
which
were
at
a
higher
resolution
upon
policing
the
plan
and
the
zoning
recommendations.
Next
slide,
please,
the
key
considerations
of
bpda
Staff
during
the
review
were
securing
improvements
to
the
entry
process,
public
realm
and
the
coronary
Chauncey
and
summer
streets
and
ensuring
a
safe
pedestrian
experience
along
the
Kingston
Street
Parking,
while
being
sensitive
to
the
Loading
and
security
needs
of
building.
AM
AM
U
As
Nick
stated,
the
project
consists
of
a
conversion
from
existing
existing
office
to
a
50,
50
mix
of
r
d
and
office
use.
We
are
confident
in
our
ability
to
restore
occupancy
back
to
a
building
that
has
been
sitting
vacant
for
some
time,
which
will
bring
much
needed
foot
traffic
back
to
an
area
of
downtown
that
is
still
recovering
from
the
pandemic.
As
you
will
see
in
our
presentation,
we
focus
heavily
on
the
restoration
of
the
existing
Courtyard
in
the
front
of
the
building.
U
We
are
excited
about
our
ability
to
not
only
preserve
the
existing
mature
Honey
Locust
trees
located
on
this
site,
but
also
make
them
a
key
feature
of
this
area
of
the
public
realm
that
has
been
neglected
for
some
time.
We
are
happy
to
have
the
support
of
the
downtown
business
improvement
district
and
look
forward
to
being
an
integral
part
of
the
downtown
community.
U
AN
I
will
take
you
through
our
presentation
and
shitley
here
and
so
just
in
context,
as
you
can
see,
we're
right
in
the
downtown
crossing
area
here
within
five
minute:
walk
of
three
Red
Line
stations,
a
couple
two
Orange
Line
stations
and
many
bus
lines
that
run
through
here
next.
AN
AN
AN
You
can
see
Macy's
on
the
right,
so
we're
just
behind
Macy's
there
with
the
Plaza
on
the
corner
next
slide,
so
our
site
plan,
the
existing
10-story
building
is
the
parallelogram
in
the
middle
and
then
the
existing
there's,
an
existing
two-story
area
that
has
the
loading
dock
in
there
that
faces
Kingston
Street
off
to
the
right
Summer
Street
is
along
the
top
and
Chauncey
street
is
along
the
left
side
there.
So
we
have
orientation
next
fine.
So
this
is
our
first
floor
plan.
AN
Next
slide,
please
so
showing
you
our
building
sections
which
are
existing
and
shows
you
the
the
10-story
tower
and
then
the
two-story
piece
off.
You
can
see
off
to
the
right
a
couple
reasons
showing
you
these.
We
have
no
change
in
massing
to
the
building
it's.
This
is
all,
except
for
the
plaza
and
the
landscape,
it's
all
internal,
but
that
we
do
have
our
high
efficiency
mechanical
systems
located
on
the
roofs
and
both
on
the
upper
and
then
the
lower
roofs.
The
lower
roof
mechanical
will
be
screened.
AN
The
upper
as
we've
found
in
doing
various
view
studies.
The
screen
is
actually
more
obtrusive
than
just
allowing
the
the
equipment
to
be
set
back
from
the
edge
of
the
roof.
So
we're
not.
There
won't
be
screened
at
the
top
because
we
found
to
be
just
a
better
view
without
it.
AN
So
next
slide,
please
so
the
the
landscape,
Design
This,
you
can
see
here
the
proposed
new
Plaza
and
then
the
proposed
loading
dock
area
on
the
right
again,
as
we've
said,
we
are
preserving
all
the
honey
Lucas
that
exist
there
in
the
plaza
and
we
are
designing
around
those
and
actually
there's
a
device
that
helps
to
protect
that
I'll.
Go
into
that
and
we
have
some
views
of
the
design
so
next
slide.
AN
So
this
this
area
here
is
on
the
top
left.
This
is
the
an
existing
view
of
the
loading
dock
area
and
then
two
views
of
our
proposed
upgrade
of
the
areas.
Still
we
still
have
a
few
parking
area
or
parking
spots
back
here,
but
primarily
this
is
for
the
loading
and
then
for
our
new
bike
covered
bike
parking
we're
also
adding
a
ramp
that
that
makes
this
entry
accessible
for
those
coming
in
on
their
bike.
AN
We're
also
upgrading
the
fence
and
the
materials
back
here
next
slide.
So
this
is
existing
conditions
of
the
the
plaza
many
issues
with
the
materials
over
time.
There's
been
various
patches
of
the
brick
with
different
brick
with
with
asphalt
and
whatnot.
There's.
Also,
some
some
signage
and
other
things
that
make
this
quite
cluttered
and
and
actually
difficult
to
move
around,
there's
also
been
some
settling
of
the
plaza
that
we
are.
That
is
makes
this
very
difficult
from
accessibility
standpoint
and
we
are
remedying
that
in
our
new
design.
AN
So
next
slide,
so
the
the
the
design
basically
is
a
revolves
around
these
light.
Pods
that
help
again
to
protect
these
the
base
of
these
trees.
It
provides
seating
and
helps
with
a
little
bit
of
enclosure
of
the
the
plaza,
and
so
you
know,
our
the
goals
of
our
of
our
landscape
design
was
to
create
a
more
of
a
visual
impact.
Much
more.
AN
So
next
slide,
please
so
some
views
in
the
next
number
of
slides
is
a
daytime
view.
Obviously,
so
you
can
see
these
pods
around
the
base
of
the
trees,
creating
various
places
to
to
sit
also
just
kind
of
creating
more
a
little
bit
of
more
of
an
enclosure
of
the
Plaza.
You
can
see
our
existing
honey
locusts
spread
out
throughout
the
plaza
next
slide.
Please
so
a
nighttime
view.
AN
So
next
slide,
please
again
some
more
views.
We,
we
really
are
very
excited
about
this
new
Plaza,
so
I'm
showing
you
a
number
of
views
here,
but
nighttime
very
you
know
well-lit
much
much.
You
know
the
idea
to
be
safe
out
here.
You
know
with
with
the
folks
coming
in
to
the
the
building
the
new
tenants
and
the
given
the
the
life
science,
the
nature.
AN
AN
So
I
think
we've
touched
on
the
the
summary
of
the
benefits.
You
know
improving
that
corner
Plaza,
not
only
the
Aesthetics,
but
the
accessibility
you
know
really
making
that
an
anemone
to
the
neighborhood,
certainly
with
increased
employment,
not
only
during
construction,
but
once
this
building
is
fully
occupied
with
the
the
folks
coming
in
here
many
different
types
of
folks
and
and
positions.
AN
So
you
know
making
a
vibrant
Corner
again
with
55
summer
being
full
of
folks
and
creating
customers
for
the
nearby
retail
and
restaurants,
and
then,
of
course
the
you
know:
property
tax
rights
of
revenues
of
the
building
until
next
time,
so
here's
some
of
the
the
mitigation
as
far
as
voluntary
contributions
and
over
600
000.
You
know
contributions
here
and
I'm
sure
that
you
know
the
detail
is
within
all
of
our
documents.
AN
Next
slide
so
on
now
went
over
this
in
the
beginning,
but
you
know
we're:
we
have
our
increase
bike
parking,
our
plasma
improvements,
the
streetscape
improvements.
AN
You
know
blue
bikes
contribution
here,
the
The
increased
job,
both
permanent
and
during
construction.
You
know
diverse
types
of
jobs
within
the
life
science,
nature
of
the
tenants,
a
walk,
score
99.
You
know
we're
close
to
as
I
said
many
of
the
orange
and
the
red
line
and
the
mini
buses
right
right
in
the
middle
of
town
and
then
our
lead
silver
goal.
AN
We
do
have
storm
water
retention
in
the
back
and
that
loading
area
again
preservation
of
the
tree
canopy
and
looking
at
permeable
pavers,
you
know
within
our
Plaza
in
the
back.
AO
Yes
good
evening,
thank
you:
Madam
Secretary,
Paulina
Madam,
chair
Rojas,
director
Jemison
of
the
BPA
board.
Thank
you
as
well
to
the
phase
three
development
team
for
your
presentation
tonight.
My
name
is
Michael
Burns
and
I'm,
a
business
representative
for
the
Sheet
Metal
Workers
Local
17.
Here
in
Boston
it
represents
several
hundred
men
and
women,
Boston
residents
and
I
rise
tonight
on
behalf
of
my
membership,
to
support
this
project,
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
AP
AQ
Good
evening
Madam,
chair
and
Commissioners
as
Gannon
referenced
earlier
in
the
presentation,
we
have
been
delighted
to
support
this
project
since
the
proponents
first
acquired
the
property
and
we've
met
with
them
on
multiple
occasions
and
we
submit
a
support
letter
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
them
as
the
project
gets
going.
Thank
you
very
much.
AR
Hi
good
afternoon,
there's
some
sort
of
wonderful
project
with
and
I'm
very
impressed
with
the
number
of
jobs
and
the
mindsets
you've
gone
to
to
make
this
eye
family.
AR
I'm,
a
life
sciences,
the
ones
that
are
working
in
the
labs,
trying
to
find
out
how
many
Labs,
how
many
Core
Labs
will
there
be
per
building
building
one
has
how
many
Core
Labs
building
facilities
too,
has
how
many
Core
Labs
and
then
the
rebels
of
the
security
levels
of
these
Labs.
So
these
ones
are
the
twos
threes
fours.
Is
this
facility
to
be
tailored
to
accommodate
level
threes
and
fours
in
anticipation
of
being
able
to
convert
them?
AR
If
the
laws
change
saying
that
there's
some
ability
to
to
to
do
level
three
and
four
experiments
that
would
be
with
the
pathogenic
during
the
function?
Experiments
because
NIH
is
actually
the
ones
who
have
been
plugging
these
things
along
with
the
pharmaceutical
companies.
So
those
are
the
questions.
You're
I
would
like
to
ask
and
there's
also
some
of
a
whole
another
group
of
questions.
If
something
were
to
happen,
what
was
what's
the
neighborhood
alert
system?
How
do
you
alert
the
people
that
are
working
in
that
area?
AR
B
Think
so
much
sir
I
just
to
let
you
know
this,
we
won't
have
the
the
developers
respond
to
to
any
questions
during
this
portion
of
it,
but
I've
taken
no
of
the
themes
that
you
mentioned
so
happy
to
ask
and
ask
those
in
the
board
session.
AS
Hi
good
evening,
and
thank
you
for
having
us
my
name-
is
Dan
Cody
I'm,
a
business
agent
Boston
representing
our
members
of
Boston
and
I,
wanted
to
rise
in
support
of
this
project.
Thank
you
for
having
us
on
this
meeting.
AI
Yes,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary,
director,
Jameson,
Gary,
Walker,
Electrical,

AT
Hi,
my
name
is
Tom
Green
I'm,
a
Boston
resident
I'm,
also
an
agent
for
the
Boston

trade
unions.
I
want
to
speak
in
support
of
this
project.
I
want
to
thank
the
development
team
at
phase
three
I
wanted
to
be
PTA
for
hostness
important
community
community
meeting.
This
is
important
that
the
community
has
a
voice
like
I
said
it's
a
great
project
in
the
careers
that
come
from
this
project
are
going
to
be
great,
and
we
all
know
that
great
careers
help
build
up
communities.
AU
AV
Good
evening,
everyone
I
wrote
the
first
off
I
think
in
the
bpda
on
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight.
My
name
is
Robert
McDonough
business
agent
of
Laborers
Local
223
in
Dorchester
and
on
behalf
of
the
over
1
000
members,
we
represent
hundreds
of
which
a
city
of
Las
Vegas
residence.
We
speak
in
full
support
of
this
project,
along
with
my
brothers
and
sisters
in
Building,
Trades
and
I'd,
just
like
to
thank
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight.
Thank
you.
AW
AX
Hi,
how
you
doing
right-
that's
good
I,
think
you
have
maybe
one
or
two
residents
to
ask
questions
and
we
can't
ask
them
directly:
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
how
this
is
a
community
meeting
for
the
right,
because
who
knows
how
you
can
how
you,
you
know,
relay
questions
from
the
residents
to
the
people
that
Developers
like?
How
are
we
supposed
to
be
able
to
put
our
opinion
on
this?
Considering
that
we're
living
within
these
Laboratories?
B
No
thank
you
very
much
Claire
and
it's
it's
just
the
it's
the
process.
It's
the.
Q
Structure
of
sitting
here,
though
I
don't
understand
so
so
let
me
you
let
us
know
if
we
don't
like
the
topic.
B
Okay,
so
the
way
that
that
a
public
hearing
works
is
anybody
who
would
like
to
testify
has
two
minutes
to
give
to
give
their
opinion
right.
They're,
they're,
just
it's!
Okay,
if
you
do
have
questions
like
I,
did
like
I
indicated
to
I
believe
is
Lorraine
well.
Take
note
of
the
questions
of
the
themes
and
and
we'll
get
responses
that
way,
but
the
way
that's
structured.
B
AX
AX
AX
B
AX
B
But
we'll
go
right
into
into
the
board
questioning
and
so
the
the
themes
that
we
heard
throughout
the
letters
and
then
for
those
that
came
to
this
meeting
were
kind
of
some
clarification
around
neighborhood
safety,
the
kind
of
the
number
of
Core,
Labs
and
kind
of
how
the
labs
are
distributed
throughout
the
buildings
and
then
the
final
one
and
very,
very
important.
We
always
cover
this
for
all
lab
Life
Sciences
lab
Lab
buildings.
B
Can
you
please
go
over
the
security
levels,
explain
kind
of
what
that
is
and
and
give
some
oversight
as
well
of
give
an
overview
as
well
of
the
the
kind
of
the
the
what
happens
right
with
the
controls
that
are
in
place
when
if
something
were
to
happen
right
from
a
safety
perspective,
how
does
that?
How
does
that
work
so
yeah?
That
was
a
lot
of
things
at
once,
so
we
can
start
where,
wherever.
U
Okay,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
certainly
please
remind
me
if,
if
there's
something
I
didn't
address
as
a
part
of
this
question.
First,
in
regards
to
Lorraine's
question
with
the
facility
one
versus
facility,
two
I
do
want
to
just
State
again
that
this
is
a
a
single
structure.
It
did
look
a
little
bit
confusing
with
the
parabolic
shape
of
the
building
itself,
but
it
is
a
10-story
existing
office
building
the
second
floor
and
it
juts
out
a
little
bit
but
is
connected.
U
It
is
our
intent
to
create
single
tenant
floors
within
each
of
the
upper
floors.
Cbs
is
existing
to
remain
so
floors.
Two
through
ten
will
house
single
tenant
floors.
The
average
size
of
those
floors
give
or
take
is
around
eight
or
nine
thousand
square
feet,
inner
nature
of
splitting
it
up
into
50
50,
creating
office
space
for
the
life
science
users.
There
it
breaks
down
to
about
4,
500
square
feet
of
lab
and
4
500
square
feet
of
office.
U
On
a
typical
floor,
which
is
a
fairly
small
footprint
within
the
office
and
lab
space,
it
lends
itself
to
be
conducive
for
research
and
development
use
only
as
a
result.
The
nature
of
existing
buildings
we're
using
as
much
as
we
can
within
the
existing
building
and
existing
infrastructure
of
the
building
does
mean
that
we
can
only
create
so
much
infrastructure
to
support
typically
BSL
one
and
two
type
of
biosafety
levels.
That
would
be
equivalent
to
something
that
you
would
find
on.
You
know,
Harvard
or
mit's
campus
in
terms
of
research
and
development.
U
Use
was
the
type
of
groups
that
we
typically
work
with
much
smaller
groups
that
are
kind
of
using
spaces.
The
step
out
space
to
kind
of
continue
to
to
perform
their
science
in
a
research
and
development
use.
Certainly
not
the
facility
certainly
is
not
capable
of
housing
any
any
level
of
production,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
answered
the
safety
level
question
and
address
the
facility
use
question
from
Lorraine
there.
Yes,.
B
N
B
Okay,
so
so
either
one
of
those.
So
you
know,
as
the
the
proponent
mentioned
you
know,
and
and
just
to
afford
sorry
to
inform
you
the
public
on
that
anything
that
is
going
to
be
a
level
three
does
have
kind
of
a
whole
nother
additional
like
approval
process,
so
yeah.
So
that's
just
a.
E
So
there's
already
been
forums
for
people
to
ask
these
questions.
So
the
answer
is
yes,
so,
let's
you
know
get
back
on
track
for
those
that
may
be
going
down
this
path,
that
the
secretary
hasn't
asked
hasn't
brought
up
to
speak
either
way
in
favor
or
against.
For
so
thank
you.
B
U
U
Hds
excuse
me
in
state
level
codes
so
with
regards
to
you
know,
for
example,
control
areas,
something
in
this
business,
where
it's
a
rated
room,
a
specific
containment,
specific
ventilation
requirements,
specific
requirements
to
provide
both
life
safety
and
lab
standby
generators
and
the
event
loss
of
power
all
is
designed
in
accordance
with
you
know,
once
again,
ahj
and
state
level
requirements
to
support.
You
know
a
safe
environment.
U
We
obviously
go
through
a
level
of
scrutiny
with
inspections
with
the
building
department,
with
the
Boston
fire
department
to
be
able
to
to
create
space.
You
know
occupy
space
that
is
safe
for
anybody
walking
in
and
around
the
area,
so
that's
kind
of
a
high
level
view
of
it.
Certainly,
we
have
some
Consultants
on
the
phone
that
can
certainly
speak
to
more
of
the
specifics
of
the
design
and
Engineering
of
it,
but
we
are
definitely
in
performance,
as
is
required
to
to
be
able
to
pull
in
some
interpread
memory.
B
Yeah,
that's
that's
great
I.
Think
that's
from
a
I.
Don't
think
we
need
to
get
further
into
the
design
specifics.
But
can
you
just
respond
to
you
know?
Yes,
we,
you
know,
hopefully
all
of
those
controls
and
safety
precautions
prevent
their
from
being
an
incident,
but
but
if
there
were
kind
of
what
is
the
response,
the
typical
kind
of
response
actions
that
happen.
U
It
would
well,
there
would
be
any
incident
that
that
could
happen,
which
could
happen
in
any
type
of
building
would
be
pertaining
to
fire
and
in
that
case,
there's
a
building
fire
alarm
system,
Strokes
notification
system.
The
building
tenants
are
notified,
obviously
to
vacate
the
building
and
even
an
emergency
and
as
a
result,
the
fire
department
is
automatically
called
out
to
respond.
B
Okay
and
I
think
that
the
question
was
kind
of
more
on
like
is
there
any
kind
of
notification?
I'm
I'm,
not
too
sure
how
the
proximity
of
your
you
know,
neighbors,
where
people
are
are
living.
U
B
It's
like,
if
the
like
the
butters
right,
like
you
know,
be
be
notified,
say
like
something
you
know
a
safety
issue
did,
you
know
did
happen
and
it
you
know
had
to
do
with
some
materials
or
something
would
there
be
some
sort
of
communication
to
the
surrounding
area
that
you
know
an
event
has
occurred.
U
B
Okay,
great
so
I
think
I'm
I'm
satisfied
that
we
covered
covered
those
themes.
The
last
one
was
neighborhood
safety,
so
I
know
you
mentioned
some
something
about
it
already,
but
can
you
go
back
to
that
and
just
just
reiterate
those
parts.
B
Neighborhood
safety,
it
might
be-
maybe
Kathy
might
be
better.
You
meant
you
talked
about
it
in
your
presentation.
So
can
you
just
go
over
that
part
again,
yep.
AN
Sure
you
know
in
redoing
the
plaza
and
the
Looney
duck
area,
the
lighting
levels,
the
you
know,
just
the
materials
as
far
as
like
you
know,
walking
through
there.
Everything
is
just
upgraded.
Much
easier
to
you,
know,
see
and
be
seen
it
just.
The
whole
design
is
is
to
to
to
make
people
feel
safe
within
that
Plaza,
and
then
you
know
in
the
back
area.
AN
So
it's
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
lighting
and
just
make
it
so
much
more
accessible
and
some
place
that
people
want
to
be
want
to
hang
out
in
and
want
to
go
through.
So
just
just
a
vibrant
area
in
in
a
well-lit
area
at
night.
So.
B
Great
great,
thank
you,
and
you
know
also
the
the
process
doesn't
start
stop
at
this
meeting.
So
if
I
did
not
do
your
your
question
Justice
or
you
have
additional
questions,
you
can
still
reach
out
to
the
project
manager.
F
B
We'll
be
able
to
kind
of
coordinate
with
the
you
know,
with
the
developer,
to
make
sure
that
you
get
a
you
know
a
response
to
your
question
if,
if
that
wasn't
kind
of
sufficient,
so
okay
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
Yes,.
U
The
building
itself,
we,
we
are
variety
of
Life
Sciences
developer
with
Brian,
so
I
can't
really
respond,
and
just
you
know
in
regards
to
con
looking
at
it
and
the
ability
to
convert
it
to
a
residential
use
and
I'm.
Sorry
I.
Just
don't
think
I
can
answer
that
question
beyond
beyond
beyond
that
lens.
W
U
Own
the
plaza
up
to
the
up
to
the
sidewalk.
W
U
That's
also
makes
it
include
these
sidewalk
improvements
that
we're
doing
as
well
on
the
entire
property
line
Frontage.
So
we
all
are
replacing
the
existing
sidewalk
with
new,
concrete
Paving
as
well
as
in
conjunction
with
BTD.
We
are
working
on
a
curb
line:
adjustment
to
reduce
the
the
drive
aisle
there
in
support
of
a
new
silver
line.
Bus,
stop
that
the
BTD
and
MBTA
would
like
to
put
in
along
Chauncey
Street,
so
we're
putting
together
those
plans
and
we're
doing
that
in
conjunction
with
DPW
and
the
stakeholders
of
the
pick.
G
I
had
one
additional
question,
which
I
think
is
an
elaboration
on
question
raised
by
one
of
the
last
of
the
people
who
testified.
G
G
Seeing
these
plans
really
for
the
first
time
and
what
I
wonder
is
whether
there
was
any
specific,
focused
Outreach
to
some
of
the
residents
or
Community
organizations
in
Chinatown,
which
is
really
only
a
couple
of
blocks
away
and
it's
one
of
the
most
densely
populated
parts
of
the
city
and
one
that
is
more
severely
impacted
by
environmental
conditions.
S
Mr
chairman
excuse
me
Madam,
chair
and
a
member
of
landmark.
If
I
could
just
jump
in
quickly
just
to
speak,
to
process
relative
to
the
Arctic
lady,
and
then
we
can
talk
to
the
program
about
their
specific
Outreach.
So
this
project
is
in
the
downtown
core.
S
It
went
through.
The
the
public
process
that
it
went
through
is
standard
to
all
large
project,
review
relative
to
notification
and
new
local
newspapers,
as
well
as
using
the
bpda
downtown
neighborhood
email
blast,
which
I
believe
does
include
the
Chinatown
community
and
just
relative
to
any
response
as
it
relates
to
because
we,
the
lab
industry,
is
something
we
are
ever
getting
a
better
understanding
of
how
it
works
and
and
how
it
relates
to
just
certain
things
like
emergency
response.
S
If
there
was
any
emergency
response,
it
would
be
treated
just
similar
to
like
any
emergency
response
relative
to
say,
like
a
fire
in
a
building
where
the
you
know,
the
the
standard
operating
of
procedures
that
deals
with
any
kind
of
major
incident
within
a
building
would
be
would
be
a
reacted
to
buy
usually
the
the
fire
department,
so
that
is
kind
of
standard
operating
procedure.
S
It
could
be
any
Standard
Building
that
might
if
it
involves
anything
that
is
chemical
or
anything
like
that.
Obviously,
Labs
have
a
higher
concentration
of
that
when
they
respond,
they
have
a
way
of
responding
to
the
type
of
fire
that
they
think
that
you
know
that,
not
that
they
think
that
they,
the
science
kind
of,
tells
them
that
they're
responding
to
so
that
that
is
very
standard.
So
Labs
don't
have
their
own
kind
of
response.
S
They
do
have
a
Hazmat
response
relative
to
the
type
of
unit
that
responds,
but
as
it
relates
to
kind
of
the
emerging
response
is
the
emergency
response
that
is
standard
across
all
kind
of
emergency
responses
in
relation
to
any
kind
of
incident
within
buildings.
G
Thanks
Mike
clear
enough-
and
we
should
just
take
note
of
the
fact
that
we
have
a
well-equipped
firehouse-
it's
only
three
or
four
blocks
away
from
this
site.
If
I
remember
correctly,
so
any
response
time,
I
suspect
would
be
quite
quick.
S
You
and
I
think
just
one
other
important
note.
We
did
work
with
councilor
Flynn,
who
has
his.
This
has
been
consistent
in
his
advocacy
for
the
Chinatown
community
and
we
did
make
sure
we
did
notices
in
Mandarin
and
Cantonese
relative
to
notifications
of
the
public
meetings.
B
Thank
you
any
additional
questions
or
comments.
B
And
and
again
just
want
to
reiterate,
if
you
do
have
additional
questions,
if
you
you
can
contact
the
project
manager,
Nick,
Carter
or
someone
at
the
bpda,
and
we
can
find
a
way
to
to
get
you
the
responses
that
that
you
need
to
your
questions.
So
we
we
do
that
regularly.
B
So
thank
you.
If
there's
no
other
questions
motion
is
in.
B
All
right,
let's
go
to
the
second
public
hearing,
simultaneous
Mandarin
and
Cantonese
interpretation
is
being
provided
for
this
meeting
using
using
the

members
of
the
board,
my

housing
manager.
The
item
before
you
is
the
proposed
plan.
Development
Area
and
project
at
155,
North,
Beacon
Street.
The
project
site
is
bounded
to
the
north
by
the
six
level
Guest
Street
Parking
Garage
to
the
east,
by
the
by
life
Street
in
a
nice
storage
self-storage
facility
to
the
South
by
North,
Beacon
Street
and
a
three-story
residential
apartment
to
the
west
by
the
WGBH
headquarters.
AY
This
structure
will
be
demolished
to
make
way
for
the
proposed
project,
which
has
proposed
contemplates
the
construction
of
three
new
life
science
buildings
on
the
project
site
containing
in
aggregate
up
to
409
000
square
feet.
The
three
buildings
will
vary
in
height
from
three
to
six
stories.
The
ground
floor
of
the
campus
will
include
lab
and
office
space
as
well
as
a
publicly
accessible
use,
such
as
retail
in
a
Winter
Garden.
The
ground
floor
will
also
include
a
bicycle
parking
facility,
including
up
to
229
bicycle
parking
spaces.

The
article
80
process
began
in
September
of
2021
and
since
then,
the
project
has
undergone
significant
refinements
in
its
massing
and
design
that
has
evolved
in
response
to
the
existing
neighborhood
context,
staff
and
Community
feedback.
Most
significantly,
the
mitigation
package
has
been
shaped
in
response
to
community
feedback.
AE
AE
These
studies
identified
several
key
issues
for
the
area,
including
establishing
a
mixed-use
Transit
oriented
District
as
a
western
gateway
to
Boston,
creating
Urban
blocks,
with
a
hierarchy
of
streetscapes,
a
need
for
long-term
funding
of
commuter
rail
service,
which
was
a
cheap
to
subsequent
advocacy
study
by
the
states
and
poverty
on
the
owner.
Funding
commitment,
multimodal
improvements,
including
adding
a
blue
bike
station
and
supporting
the
Olsen
Brighton
Mobility
initiatives.
Next
slide,
please.
AE
In
our
review
of
those
projects,
bpda
staff
considered
several
ways
that
is
consistent
with
plan
recommendations
for
the
area
through
the
creation
of
an
urban
block
pattern,
realigning
live
stream
and
connecting
back
to
guest
streets
by
stepping
down
developing
towards
North
Beacon
to
meet
the
adjacent
scale
in
emphasizing
active
uses,
including
retail
restaurants,
ground
floor
assembly
and
workspaces
with
a
high
visual
interest
as
part
of
a
continued
Redevelopment.
In
multimodal

it
to

during
a
moment

read
a
statement
on
the

but
I
wanted
to
start
by
expressing
our
support
for
this
project
and
stress
the
significance
and
the
importance
of
this
mitigation
package
for
155
North
vegan,
and
this
has
been
a
really
collaborative
effort
between
the
city,
CPA
and
the
proponent
iqhq,
to
come
up
with
a
real
long-term
solution
for
the
music
community
and
also
Brighton,
and
for
the
artist
Community.
More
broadly
so.

BA
Thank
you
Chief

thank
you,
chairman

My
name
is
Jared
Staley
and
I'm,
the
cultural
planning
project
manager
for
development
review
in
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture.
Thank
you
for
having
our
office
at
tonight's
meeting
I'm
here
tonight
to
share
additional
context.
It's
the
mitigation
package
proposed
by
the
155
North
Beacon
Street
project
team,
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
also
referred
to
as
milac,
has
been
working
to
address
the
stabilization
and
expansion
of
space
for
artists.
So
many
can
share
their
work
in
our
city.
BA
This
site
was
home
to
the
sound
Museum,
a
music
rehearsal
and
recording
space
which
served
hundreds
of
musicians
in
Austin
Brighton
and
the
City
sound
Museum
was
the
largest
remaining
rehearsal
space
building
of
its
type
in
Boston,
both
at
scale
40
000
square
feet,
including
140,
rehearsal
spaces
and
two
recording
studio,
Studios
and
its
affordability
or
singular
in
Boston
early
this
year.
The
app
will
release
agreement
between
sound
Museum
and
iqhq,
inspired
in
an
effort
to
secure
an
immediate
and
short-term
home
for
these
musicians.
BA
BA
BA
These
efforts
are
in
line
with
the
city's
overarching
goal
of
achieving
no
net
loss
of
cultural
space.
Our
office
would
like
to
thank
everyone
involved
in
support
of
securing
this
building.
We
appreciate
the
collaboration
and
partnership
between
our
office
in
the
bpda.
We
are
excited
to
continue
to
collaborate
on
the
community
visioning
and
eventual
request
for
proposals
for
this
building
with
the
bpda.
Should
you
approve
the
155
North
Beacon
project?
BB
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Caitlin.
Thank
you.
Ppd
board
members
for
taking
the
time
to
meet
with
us
and
to
review
our
project.
BB
BB
BB
next
slide.
Please,
the
next
thought
we'd
like
to
talk
about
a
few
key
issues
won
the
building
program.
As
you
can
see,
there
are
three
different
buildings
building
one
starting
on
the
left
hand,
side
two
and
three:
the
building
one
program
includes
tenant
space
in
dark
gray,
retail
in
the
Southeast
Corner,
a
building
entry,
Lobby
and
neighborhood
bike
storage
and
public
restrooms.
BB
Building
two
and
three
share
a
multi-story
entry
lobby
with
a
glass
roof
building
two
is
tenant
space,
while
building
3
has
retail
on
the
east
side
and
the
southwest
corner.
Second
thing
we
want
to
touch
on
here
is
circulation.
Note
there
is
one
main
entry
into
building
one
of
the
Central
Plaza
building
two
and
three
share
a
lobby
with
entries
of
both
the
East
and
West
sides.
All
entries
are
accessible
at
the
southwest
of
building
one.
There
is
an
entry
to
the
underground
Park
at
the
northeast
of
building.
Two.
BB
There
is
an
entry
to
the
underground
loading
dock.
We
envision
people
coming
down
from
Boston
Landing
commuter
rail,
the
live
stream
to
enter
the
building
they
can
cut
through
a
building
Lobby.
They
could
cut
through
the
building,
2-3
Lobby
to
get
to
building
ones
or
points
Beyond
to
the
West.
They.
AA
BB
Circulate
around
Line
Street,
the
Points
West
on
North,
Beacon
Street,
and
vice
versa,
at
the
end,
at
the
end
of
the
day
or
when
they're
returning
home
one
other
thing
to
note:
we've
provided
over
thirty
thousand
square
feet
of
new
public
Realm
by
setting
the
building
back
from
the
south
and
east
property
line.
The
Center
Plaza
is
approximately
fourteen
thousand
square
feet
and
live
stream.
Plaza
is
approximately
six
thousand
square
feet
over
the
next
few
slides.
We
will
break
down
these
spaces
in
detail
Caitlin.
You
said
the
next
slide
doesn't
work.
Was
that
correct?
BB
Correct?
Okay,
great
this?
Oh
this
one
works!
Okay!
Thank
you!
The
Center
Plaza,
which
is
sorry.
This
is
the
Center
Plaza.
All
the
buildings
are
organized
around
the
center
plaza.
The
Center
Plaza
features
a
landscape
space
which
we
received
a
lot
of
great
feedback
from
the
community
which
helped
to
make
this
a
great
family

there's
also
blue

which
you
can
see
in
the
new

which
was
created
by

We
have

we're
also
proposing

there's
a
deep
wood

which
again
could
be
used
for
kids
to
plant

then
we
also
have
a

One
thing
to
note
too,
due
to
site

This

does
step
up
to
the

but
it
does
have
accessible
ramps

We
are
excited
to
show
the

so
all
the

have
a
unique
color.
That's
carried
up
to
the
top

make
each

feel
individual.
BB
Similar
details
have
been
carried
throughout
the

provide
unifying

to
the

well
to

we'll
work

Good
evening
Madam,
chair
and
members
of
the

I'm
Sarah
michaelman
I'm
a
principal
with
the
green
engineer,
we
were
the
sustainable
Who,
We
Are
The
sincerable
Design
Consultants
for
the
project.
From
the
start,
this
project
team
collaborated
to
set
very
ambitious
sustainability
goals
through
a
process
of
strategic
decision
making.
The
development
is
able
to
significantly
mitigate
its
environmental
impact,
we're
meeting
and
exceeding
the
requirements
of
article
80,
so
article
37
of
green
buildings.
The
project
is
targeting
71
lead
credit
points.
We
are
using
the
lead
corn,
shell
V4
rating
system.
BC
The
71
points
exceeds
the
60
point
threshold
for
gold
certifiable.
You
know
by
significant
amount,
also
is
noted
here
on
the
slide.
The
project
is
designed
to
be
zero
net
carbon.
So
really
you
know
supporting
the
city's
goals
towards
carbon
neutrality.
This
is
achieved
through
the
inclusion
of
high
performance,
Building
Systems,
a
high
performance
building
envelope
on-site
photo
renewable
energy
in
the
form
of
photovoltaics
and
also
investing
in
purchase
renewable
energy.
J
BC
Is
also
dedicated
to
addressing
the
health
and
wellness
of
the
future
building
occupants
or
the
interior
environment
will
have
high
quality
ventilation,
access
to
Daylight,
there's
also
the
the
Winter
Garden
and
other
exterior
landscape
spaces
for
the
public
and
the
building
occupants.
The
interior
finish.
Materials
that
are
specified
for
the
project
were
vetted
for
low
toxicity,
as
well
as
having
a
reduced
environmental
impact,
and
also
of
note
that
the
project
does
include
features
from
both
the
fitwell
and
the
well
healthy
buildings
rating
systems
to
the
next
slide.
BD
Thank
you
Sarah.
My
name
is
Kim
Ty
I'm,
the
director
of
development
here
at
iqhko,
and
just
wanted
to
briefly
talk
about
some
of
the
public
benefits
that
you've
already
heard
previously,
that
in
recognition
of
the
need
to
preserve
music
culture
and
history,
and
they
also
bright
neighborhood,
that
iqh2
is
gifting
the
city
of
Boston
BPA,
a
new
building
at
290
North
Beacon.
BD
In
addition
to
that,
we
also
have
committed
and
are
going
to
construct
new
lab
classrooms
at
Brighton,
High
and
partnering,
with
Brighton
High
School
to
structure
new
steam
program
and
targeting
all
ages
in
that
new
space.
In
addition
to
that,
we
are
directing
our
affordable
housing
linkage
to
the
Boston
Housing
Authority
at
the
neighboring
Nathaniel
Gardens
Housing
Development,
and
you
know
just
to
not
take
up
too
much
time.
We
are
realigning
livestreet
as
well
as
providing
public
realm
space
that
you've
heard
previously,
in
addition
to
activating
the
public
realm.
B
Okay,
thank
you.
We
are
now.
This
is
a
public
hearing,
so
I'll
pass
it
over
to
secretary
Paul
humis
to
go
over
anyone
who
would
like
to
testify.
BA
BA
BA
Please
accept
my
written
red
toast
testimony
today,
I've
been
a
professional
musician
in
Boston
for
over
35
years
have
had
various
rehearsal
studios,
including
South
Boston,
the
south
end
and
in
Brighton
these
last
20
years.
Although
we
are
saddened
to
lose
our
space
at
155.,
we
worked
with
the
art
students
here
at
Coalition,
who
found
us
intern
space
at
55,
horsey
Boulevard
in
Dorchester,
but
we
look
forward
to
returning
to
Brighton
at
290
North
Beacon
Street.
BA
BA
Also
thanks
to
maribu's
office,
Council,
Braden,
Cara,
Elliott,
Ortega,
chief
of
arts
and
culture
and
the
bpda
for
working
together
to
help
us
out.
Thank
you.
The

Thank
you
for
allowing
my
testimony
at
today's
BPA
board
meeting.
My
name
is
Matthew
Harrington
I'm,
a
resident
of
Brighton
and
a
former
long-time
sub-time
of
the
sound
museum
at
155.
North
Beacon
Street
in
Brighton
I
want
to
thank
all
of
all
for
helping
find
both
long-term
and
interim
solutions
for
the
hundreds
of
musicians
who
called
155
North
Beacon
Street
their
creative
home.
BA
Although
it's
not
ideal
to
move
to
Dorchester
and
then
move
back
to
Brighton,
we
are
glad
to
continue
having
an
affordable,
safe,
dedicated
music
rehearsal
studios
in
our
city,
which
are
desperately
needed
on
behalf
of
my
band.
Cortez
I
want
to
thank
iqhq
for
being
the
good
neighbor
they
promised
to
be,
and
for
donating
an
unprecedented
property
to
the
city
for
music
rehearsal.
BA
I
also
want
to
thank
the
city
for
committing
to
the
creative
arts
and
recognizing
the
vital
importance
of
Art
and
artists
to
Boston
I
hope.
More
developers
will
look
to
IQ
hq's
example
and
work
with
the
city
to
ensure
that
Foster
remains
a
thriving
place
for
artists
and
musicians
to
live,
create
and
continue
to
build
a
vibrant,
diverse
culture
now
and
in
the
future.
Thank
you
and
the
last
is
from
Jesse
mangrove.
BA
My
name
is
Jesse

I'm,
a
resident
of
trial,
sound
a
former
sub-tenant
of
the
sound
Museum
and
a
current
musician
tenant
at
the
Charlestown
rehearsal
studios.
I
also
make
my
living
working
as
an
audio
engineer
for
live
concerts
and
venues
throughout
Boston
former
rehearsal
space
complex
at
155
North
Beacon
Street
is
hugely
significant
in
the
ecosystem
at
Boston
and
the
surrounding
area.
For
decades
it
was
home
to
over
700
musicians
whose
creative
Endeavors
are
part
of
the
symbiotic
businesses,
including
recording
studios,
live
concert,
venues,
music,
retailers,
music
repair
shops,
record
stores
and
others.
BA
While
the
closing
of
the
rehearsal
spaces
at
155,
North
Beacon,
did
not
directly
impact
my
band
or
my
ability
to
practice.
My
instrument,
the
existence
of
Music
rehearsal
spaces
in
the
city
of
Boston
has
a
direct
impact
on
my
ability
to
earn
a
living
and
afford
to
live
in
the
city
in
the
existence
of
a
thriving
music
scene
brings
numerous
cultural
and
economic
benefits
to
the
city
at
Large.
BA
There's
an
Arts
music
and
cultural
space
crisis
in
Boston
with
Arts
displacement.
All
too
linked
development
as
I
write.
This
myself
and
hundreds
of
musicians
at
Charleston
rehearsal
studios
have
also
been
at
risk
of
displacement,
as
our
new
landlords
have
planned
to
turn
our
music
rehearsal
studios
into
self
storage
units.
BA
It's
January
of
this
year
we
have
organized
ourselves
and
with
the
help
of
various
folks
of
the
city,
including
Chief,
Elle,
Ortega
of
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture,
Sean
Breen
of
the
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
and
City
councilor
Gabriella
Coletta
and
arts
advocacy
groups,
Art
stays
here.
We
are
now
working
with
our
online
Learners
to
preserve
the
music
rehearsal
studios,
as
we
must
protect
and
preserve
all
creative
arts
spaces
in
our
city.
BA
On
behalf
of
my
fellow
musicians
in
Charlestown
and
Citywide,
I
applaud
all
parties
involved
for
creating
a
permanent
way
to
return
musicians
back
to
Austin
Brighton
I
hope
that
this
is
just
the
first
of
many
permanent
Solutions
put
into
action
over
the
coming
years.
Please
continue
to
help
keep
musicians,
artists
and
other
creatives,
living
and
working
in
our
city,
so
in
turn
we
can
keep
sharing
our
art
and
music
in
the
neighborhoods
and
communities
being
called
home.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.

name
is
Pat
O'toole
I
just
wanted
to
first
thank
the
bpda
and
the
board
for
having
this
meeting
this
evening.
I
represent
the
members
of
Local
6,
the
heat
and
frost
insulators
and
Allied
Workers,
and
all
the
members
who
live
in
Boston.
You
know
the
amount
of
jobs
that
this
is
going
to
provide
for
the
unions,
but
as
well
for
as
the
members
who
live
in
the
community,
we
support
this
project.
Thank
you.
BH
Hi,
my
name
is
Nicholas
Varga
I'm,
a
city
of
Boston
resident
and
I,
wanted
to
speak
in
support
of
this
project.
I
think
the
way
that
the
developer
has
communicated
with
the
community
as
well
as
set
aside
space
for
Mitigation
Of
The
Studios
is
great.
I
know
two
bands
that
rehearsed
in
this
studio,
and
initially
it
didn't
look
like
there
was
going
to
be
on
the
replacement
space.
BH
AR
Good
evening
again,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
again.
Having
been
raised
in
a
house
will
be
appreciated.
Music
and
also
a
union
household
I,
truly
appreciate
the
fact
that
there
are
jobs
that
are
going
to
be
given
to
Boston
residents
and
there
will
be
an
officer
not
just
an
observation
of
the
Boston
residents,
jobs
policy,
but
an
advanced
and
compliance
with
it.
AR
That's
very
much
appreciated
another
issue
of
the
issue
of
safety
and
I'm
understanding
that
you
can't.
Let
us
ask
questions
directly
of
the
developers.
So
I
will
ask
you,
know
the
Boston
Planning
Development
agency
staff,
what
sorts
of
tutoring
or
informational
have
you
given
to
the
members
of
the
iag
in
terms
of
the
levels
of
security
of
these
labs?
Have
you
actually
sat
down
and
brought
their
materials
so
that
they
can
read
what
the
different
levels
of
safety
or
or
are
on
these
Levels
by
there?
AR
Have
you
spoken
to
any
of
the
developers
to
get
an
understanding
to
give
them
an
understanding
of
what
it
is
that
they're
developing
that
you
can't
have
more
than
20
labs
per
facility
that
you
can
have
you
can't
do
certain
things?
You
have
to
make
sure
that
there
are
certain
measures
in
place
that
the
laws
will
change
and
are
changing
every
day.
So
what
you
can
do
on
a
level
two
lab
and
a
level
you
might
be
able
to
you
can't
do
now.
AR
You
can
might
be
able
to
do
in
a
level
three
lab
with
all
the
pathogens
and
the
transportation
and
the
mixing
of
viruses.
As
Boston
University
did
I
used
to
work
for
city
council
except
Turner
in
Council
Charles
Yancey.
We
held
the
hearings,
we
know
what
it
is
that
can
and
cannot
be
done
and
I'm
hoping
that
Boston
that
your
organization,
your
entity,
your
agency
by
law,
is
telling
these
developers
and
sharing
with
the
iag
members
what
it
is
and
why
there
has
been
no
Public
Safety
meetings,
public
meetings
on
any
of
this.
B
AX
Thank
you
very
much,
I
appreciate
it.
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
the
gentleman
the
black
gentleman
that
was
asking
about
the
meetings
in
the
community.
I
really
appreciate
you
thinking
about
that.
AX
For
one
there
was
none
that
I
know
of
we
just
found
out
about
this
whole
Fast
Track
process,
no
more
than
maybe
five
six
months
ago,
and
that's
when
we
came
on
board
one
thing
that
U.S
representative
Ayanna
Presley
stated
to
the
Boston
Public
Health
to
NIH
and
to
all
different
people
that
are
playing
a
role
of
enforcement.
Why
did
you
not
call
the
Roxbury
safety
land?
We
have
over
500
people
who
have
invested
over
23
years,
keeping
an
eye
on
nih2,
as
you
know,
develop
their
own
Spike
five
disease.
AX
From
the
original
Corona
virus
and
also
from
another
virus
and
there
it
is
so
and
then
the
other
gentleman
who
at
who
spoke
about
oh
well,
we'll
keep
the
abutters
well
I,
don't
think
we
have
to
worry
about
the
butters.
We
didn't
worry
about
the
butters
when
what
the
Wuhan
area
had
their
whatever
it
was,
and
it
reached
us
so
doing
with
the
abutters
is
not
really
an
answer
so
and
by
you
even
giving
that
answer.
I'm,
not
really
quite
sure
who
you
think
you're
talking
with
so
I've.
AX
Had
this
experience
and
this
whole
process
did
not
reach
the
community.
I
have
no
need
to
lie,
none
whatsoever
if
we
would
have
seen
it
earlier.
We
would
have
been
here
earlier,
but
this
has
been
since
2007
1412
I
mean
the
last
thing
I
would
like
to
say,
is
I
have
read
and
still
have
the
White
House
memorandum
subject:
enhancing
biosafety
and
biosecurity
in
the
United
States.
So
this
is
our.
This
plan
is
already
laid
out
in
Vista.
What
you're
doing
right
now
is
from
this
doctor.
B
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
Claire
and-
and
you
know
believe
me
or
your
sentiments
are
not
falling
on
deaf
ears.
Yeah
I
think
you
know
there's
some
work
to
do.
I,
don't
necessarily
have
the
the
question
or
the
solution,
but
you
know
as
as
board
members.
This
is
something
we
you
know
we
usually
ask
about,
but
that's
you
know
it's
we're
in
it
right
like
that.
That
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
your
average,
just
regular
person
really
knows
knows
about
that.
B
So
I
I,
don't
know
what
the
you
know.
What
the
answer
is,
but
bye,
I
kind
of
am
raising
the
question
and-
and
we
have
before
to
you-
know
to
the
agency
of
like
how
how
do
we
deal
with
this
right
like
how
do
we
with
all
the
life
sciences
industry?
Really,
you
know
really
booming
here
and
and
there
being
a
lot
of
buildings.
B
How
do
we
what's
the
best
way
right
to
to
communicate
the
safety
levels
and-
and
you
know
not
only
just
two
Butters
but
just
kind
of
in
general?
Where
is
that
information
kind
of
housed?
So
that's
a
again
an
offline
offline
discussion
and
challenge.
You
know
just
just
would
like
the
agency
to
let's
think
about
that
and
manager.
S
Could
I
if
I
could
just
I
want
to
just
respect
the
not
respectfully
just
directly
respond
to
just
kind
of
some
of
the
broader
work?
That's
been
happening
amongst
the
agency
and
I
know
the
board
has
we've
talked
through
this
on
prior
projects.
S
As
you
know,
we
are
tasked
with
looking
at
kind
of
the
use
and
the
regulatory
review
as
it
relates
to
high
density
public
realm,
open
space
parking
things
like
that
really
to
the
built
environment,
but
as
we
started
this
getting
this
higher
level
of
concentration
of
lab
and
as
it
relates
to
its
proximity
to
different
neighborhoods,
we
have
in
over
the
course
last
18
months,
put
together
an
interior
Agency
Group
to
really
understand
the
different
levels
of
regulatory
review
that
exist
as
it
relates
to
this
type
of
use,
and
you
know
we'd
be
happy
to
come
back
and
kind
of
share.
S
Some
of
that.
With
this,
the
broader
group
we
do
have
several
we've
done
several
city
council
hearings
where
we've
walked
through
some
of
the
the
different.
Basically,
the
different
checks
and
balances
that
are
set
up.
Azure
relates
to
the
different
types
of
level
of
lab,
as
are
relates
to
the
different
types
of
things
that
they'll
be
looking
at
and
who
kind
of
regulates
that,
because
it
does,
you
know,
there's
some
City
mechanisms
that
are
put
in
place.
AA
S
Happened
around
2010
2011
and
as
a
result
of
that,
they
set
up
some
tight
regulatory
reviews
of
municipalities,
as
well
as
state
regulations
which
has
allowed
the
industry
to
grow
because
they've
come
to
this
part
of
the
country,
because
they
know
that
the
regulations
are
in
place
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
allow
this
industry
too
far.
So
that
being
said,
it's
something
we
take
very
serious
and
it's
something
that
I
think
we
are
continuing
to
try
to
build
into
our
regulatory
review
so
that
we
can
be
transparent
with
the
community.
S
S
In
this
particular
case,
there
was
several
of
those
to
talk
specifically
about
how
labs
are
governed
and
how
they
are
regulated
relative
to
specific
concerns
that
have
come
up
so
I
I
want
to
just
continue
to
stress
that
this
is
something
that
is
is
part
of
our
regulatory
review,
and
we
are
going
to
continue
to
kind
of
build
this
muscle
out
to
make
sure
that
the
community
understands
like
the
the
intricacies
of
what
lab
is
and
what
lab
isn't.
Thank.
B
You
yeah,
no,
that's
great
and
I
do
I
do
remember
you
know
the
those
those
great
slides
right
and
to
go
over
this.
So
just
you
know,
maybe
just
a
you
know
friendly
recommendation
to
maybe
that's
something
we
can
put
on
our
website
or
something
just
somewhere
where
we
could
kind
of
point
to
it
like
of
an
FAQ
like
how
someone
would
just
you
know
whether
it's
like
a
link
to
a
YouTube,
video
or
whatever.
B
Oh
here,
this
is
what
you
know:
safety
levels
like
one
through
five
mean
you
know
just
like
basic
stuff.
That
I
think
would
just
be.
You
know
helpful,
or
at
least
we
could
point
someone
to
that.
You
know
just
yeah,
because
we
get
the
question
a
lot
and
yeah
okay
anyway,
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
B
Okay
with
that
Motionless,
in
order.
B
Very
local
okay,
so
we
have
one
more
public
hearing.
This
is
a
public

planner
filling
in
for
my

proposed
project.
Add
22
dry

Avenue
is
within
the
boundaries
the
Raymond

Flint
Marine
Park,
and
was
reviewed
for
consistency
with
the
Marine
Park's
final
Master
Plan
update,
approved
in
June
2022..

It
was
also
considered
in
relation
to
nearby
existing
and
approved
new
projects,
including
24,
dry,
dog,
Avenue
and
Innovation
square,
and
for
compliance
with
the
design
guidelines
of
the
coastal
flood,
resilience,
overlay,
District
or
sea
fry
next

Please,
during
review
of
the
proposed
project
staff
focus
on
ensuring
high
quality,
publicly
accessible,
open
space
that
maximizes
southern
sun
exposure
and
relates
to
surrounding
buildings
and
Paths
of
travel.
A
resilient
graded
site
design
ensures
accessible
access
to
the
site
and
compliance
with
the
minimum
first
floor,
design
blood
elevation
required
by
the
C
Prime.
AM
Lastly,
the
reduction
in
curb
Cuts
surrounding
the
site
improve
overall
pedestrian
comfort
and
safety
pending
board

the
zoning
board
of
appeals
for
approval
of
the
Sony
relief.
Thank
you
and
I
will
now
turn
it
over

the
project
in
more
detail.
BI
Thank
you
good
evening,
Madam
chair
director,
Jameson
secretary
Primus
and
fellow
board
members
on
behalf
of
our
partners,
the
Boston
real
estate,
inclusionary
fund,
Kavanaugh,
Advisory,
Group
and
vertex
Pharmaceuticals.
My
name
is
Stephen
Faber
executive
VP
with
related
Beale.
BI
We
are
so
pleased
to
present
our
proposal
for
the
development
of
22
drydock,
a
state-of-the-art
Class,
A
research
and
development
facility
for
Boston's
own
vertex.
Pharmaceutical
vertex
is
a
true
unicorn
in
the
life
science
Industry,
and
not
only
are
they
a
great
pharmaceutical
company,
but
a
company
whose
leadership
believes
in
giving
back
to
the
community
in
a
multitude
of
ways.
BJ
Joe
thanks
Steven
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
present
the
project
today,
principal
at
SGA
and
we'll
be
talking
about
trying
to
try
not
to
have
the
site
here
is
showing
the
project
you
know:
22
drydock
greatness
center.
It's
highlighted
in
blue,
it's
in
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
Marine,
Industrial
Park,
and
what
is
you
know
becoming
emerging
and
a
maturing
life
science
cluster.
BJ
The
number
of
buildings
that
you
see
in
the
top
a
portion
of
this
are
buildings
that
are
existing
or
in
process
of
being
built
and
designed
in
this
area,
quite
notable
and
prominent
along
Northern
Ave,
creating
almost
a
life
science
Corridor
as
you
leave
Boston
itself
and
arrive
in
the
Marine
Industrial
Park,
it's
quite
significant,
so
the
site
is
really
defined
by
Northern
the
convergence
of
Northern
Avenue
and
Dry
Dock
Ave
as
it
comes
to
that
site
and
shapes
the
arrival.
The
next
slide,
please
a
little
bit
about
the
existing
conditions.
BJ
Right
in
here,
the
highlighted
Parcels
in
the
center,
it's
defined
by
notable
buildings
around
it
isq2,
which
is
the
home
of
vertex.
Currently,
you
can
see
the
dried
out
which
is
dry
at
the
moment,
but
very
exciting,
to
see
the
activity
in
there
which
ships
in
in
the
livelihood
of
what's
happening
there,
there's
24
dry
dock
to
the
right,
The
Innovation,
Design
Center
down
below,
and
we
have
a
edac
garage
on
the
west
and
side.
BJ
Next
slide,
please
a
little
bit
about
you
know
the
design
itself,
the
latest
design
in
terms
of
the
public
realm,
the
landscaping
and
the
first
floor
plan.
It
I
want
to
point
out
that
resiliency
has
been
key.
BJ
A
lot
of
the
design
has
been
focused
on
positioning
the
building
in
such
a
way
to
maximize
is
the
public
realm
and
the
southern
end
of
the
building
and
with
the
landscaping
and
the
open
space
we're
really
looking
at
seasonal
comfort
in
and
around
the
building
throughout
the
year,
and
that
unique
Place
making
is
tied
not
only
on
the
outside,
but
also
the
synergies
of
the
planning
of
the
building
itself.
So
we'll
focus
on
the
inside.
We
have
a
FNB,
a
retail
opportunity
in
the
upper
portion
of
the
plan.
BJ
It's
really
going
to
activate
that
entrance
level.
We
have
a
very
active
lobby
with
a
main
entrance
off
of
Northern
Ave
as
well
as
dried
outside.
We
have
the
Bike
Room.
We
have
some
tenant
space
and,
as
mentioned
by
Tyler,
we
have
the
gmgi
teaching
lab,
which
has
you
know
not
only
labra
classrooms
and
the
space.
You
know
as
they
can.
You
know
focus
on
teaching
in
that
space.
It
can
also
go
on
the
outside
and
enjoy
some
of
the
bench
seat.
Events
outside,
which
is
very
fantastic.
BJ
Next
one
please,
we
want
to
give
you
a
little
sense
of
the
scale
by
doing
a
couple
of
site
sections
right
in
here.
This
is
along
Northern
Ave.
You
can
see
our
building
in
the
center
balanced
by
edic
on
the
right
hand,
side
and
a
silhouette
of
24
dried
up,
which
is
also
a
life
science
project,
but
he
again
you
can
see
the
building
has
been
lifted
because
of
sea
level
rise,
we're
very
proud
of
the
lead,
Platinum
certification,
also
the
lead,
zero
carbon
certification.
BJ
Next
one
another
site
section
here,
along
Thai
street,
with
isq2
on
the
right
hand,
side
again:
A
Home
of
vertex.
On
the
left
hand,
side
is
the
Innovative
Design
Center
in
the
silhouette,
as
we
cut
through
that
flanking
our
building
right
now,
the
next
one
please
and
I'm,
going
to
show
you
a
series
of
perspectives
walking
around
the
building.
As
you
approach
it,
this
is
along
Northern
Ave,
as
if
you
were
coming
from
downtown
Boston,
going
down.
BJ
Northern
Avenue
arriving
at
this
site,
you
can
see
a
glimpse
of
the
edic
garage
on
the
right
hand,
side
and,
on
the
left
hand,
side.
The
existing
is
Q
two
It's,
a
Wonderful
Civic
presence.
It
helps
to
find
the
mid-block
arrival.
We
focused
quite
a
bit
on
that
pedestrian
experience
that
goes
through
the
block
and
the
other
side
on
dried
out.
It
begins.
BJ
Side
is
the
gym
gni
space
this
one,
please
a
little
bit
further
down
on
Northern
Ave.
You
can
see
how
the
unveiling
of
the
building
itself
reveals
the
main
entrance
again.
The
courtyard
experience
is
quite
unique,
designed
in
such
a
way
for
a
seasonal
comfort
and
interest
throughout
the
year
again,
based
on
resiliency
there's
applied
for
a
transition
that
we
gracefully
do
with
a
series
of
slope,
surfaces
and
and
steps.
You
can
see
a
little
bit
better
here.
BJ
The
activation
of
the
first
floor
on
the
right
hand,
side
the
retail
experience
in
our
left
hand,
side
gmgi,
just
a
quick
mention
on
the
architectural
language.
You
know,
there's
a
strong
discipline
of
the
grid,
which
is
picked
up
from
the
area
that
the
Marine
Industrial
Park,
which
reveals
itself
with
these
end
caps
a
lot
more
a
little
bit
more
glazing
natural
lighting
coming
in
and
you
know
and
showcasing.
You
know,
science
on
display,
which
is
really
really
a
wonderful
opportunity
with
the
building.
BJ
Next
one
please
here
we're
going
down
the
street
a
little
bit.
This
is
at
the
interception
in
Northern,
Avenue
and
Tide
Street.
The
dry
dock
is
behind
us
in
this
image.
This
is
a
really
good
angle,
looking
down
and
seeing
the
activities
of
the
public
realm
and
how
diverse
and
interesting
that
is
around
all
those
edges
right
in
there.
Next
one
please.
BJ
This
is
going
at
the
intersection
of
tide
and
dried
up.
Some
interesting
massive
moves
right
in
here.
As
it
transitions
to
you,
know
proportions
and
scales
to
the
street
level
again,
that
massing
helps
announce
the
main
entrance
right
in
there,
but
you're
going
to
see
the
extensive
tree
canopy
across
the
site.
It's
really
on
this
side.
That
really,
you
know,
protects
in
your
shade.
You
know
to
the
various
place,
making
opportunities
in
that
process
area
next
slide,
please
and
then.
Finally,
this
image
looking
on
Dry
Dock,
but
we
can
have
the
building
right
in
here.
BJ
You
can
really
appreciate
the
transition
of
a
mass
and
as
it
transitions
down
to
the
sidewalk
level.
We
have
special
interest
with
that
Civic
moment
at
this
corner.
Adding
a
little
bit
more
transparency
and
again
having
science
on
display
is,
is
really
a
key
element
to
our
design.
So
with
that
brings
us
to
the
last
image
right
in
here,
because
thank
you
very
much
and
we're
very
happy
to
present
this
Joe.
BI
BI
So,
yes,
the
development
does
feature
significant
improvements
to
the
public
Realm
and
the
public
open
space
around
the
building
which
Joe
is
able
to
show
through
the
the
renderings
tremendous
economic
benefits,
including
550,
permanent
jobs
with
vertex
that
lease
is
actually
executed
at
this
point
is
being
held
in
escrow
subject
to
final
entitlements.
BI
BI
Our
proposal
provides
substantial
public
benefits
and,
as
discussed
it,
it
really
features
a
new,
state-of-the-art
teaching,
lab
and
classroom
facility
on
the
ground
floor
to
be
operated
by
the
Gloucester
Marine
genomics
Institute.
This
is
going
to
be
rent,
free
and
completely
built
out
and
will
essentially,
with
these
facilities
and
they're,
an
incredible
staff
and
curriculum.
BI
BI
Other
public
benefits
include
Financial
contributions
of
approximately
four
million
dollars,
including
Transportation
education,
family
services
and
our
fishing
industry,
Neighbors
in
the
Marine
Park
and
their
non-profit,
the
Boston
fisheries
Foundation.
Finally,
we're
particularly
proud
of
the
commitment
to
sustainable
design.
B
Okay,
as
as
this
is
a
public,
this
is
a
public
hearing.
We'll
now
hold
up
on
board
testimony
and
go
to
the
public
testimony
so
secretary
behemus.
Do
we
have
anybody
who
would
like
to
testify.
AX
AX
AX
We
do
have
the
23-year
background
and
then
we
also
have
you
know
other
scientists,
it's
good,
to
hear
both
sides
of
the
story.
But
as
far
as
trying
to
figure
things
out
like
the
gentleman
said,
he
went
to
the
city
council
and
whatever
the
case
may
be,
but
you
know
we're
here:
we
live
here.
We
don't
want
to
die
here
and
you
know,
let's
see
how
it
works
out.
AX
AX
We
don't
hate,
you
know
any.
You
know
people
so
what's
wrong
with
sitting
in
a
room
and
trying
to
hammer
out.
What's
what
you
know.
AO
Thank
you
again:
Madam
Secretary
behemoth,
Madam,
chair
Rojas,
director
Jemison
and
the
bpda
board.
Thank
you
as
well
to
the
team
for
your
wonderful
presentation.
Tonight
again
my
name
is
Michael
Burnsville
record
I'm,
a
business
representative
for
the
Sheet
Metal
Workers
Local
17
here
in
Boston
I,
represent
several
hundred
men
and
women
of
the
Boston
residents
in
the
area.
I
rise
tonight
on
behalf
of
my
membership
to
support
this
project,
and
thank
you
for
the
time
Mr
Speaker.
AP
AR
AR
Well
right
now
you
don't
have
20
purpose
ability.
I
would
also
like
to
know
and
ask
the
bpda.
When
is
when
on
March
14th,
there
was
a
at
a
Boston
Design.
Is
it
called
Boston,
Design
Civic,
Design
Group
meeting?
It
was
said
by
Mr
McGonagall
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
public
safety
meeting
that
talks
about
all
of
these
issues.
So
we
can
get
all
of
this
into
the
at
sphere,
so
the
developers
and
everybody
dpda
director
Jemison
the
zoning
commission.
AR
Everyone
would
understand,
be
on
the
same
page
and
know
how
to
address
the
issue,
a
public
safety
meeting
I'm
trying
to
find
out.
When
is
that
going
to
happen?
And
it's
not
just
us
asking
the
people
all
over
the
city,
because
these
labs
are
clustering.
All
over
the
city
there'll
be
several
hundred
labs
in
the
city
of
Boston,
and
nobody
knows
exactly
what
pathogens
are
going
to
be
studied,
because
everyone
says
they
don't
know
who's
going
to
be
the
renters,
and
we
don't
know
this.
We
don't
know
that,
but
somebody
knows
something
otherwise.
AR
Insurance
companies
would
not
insure
this
type
of
construction
in
in
anticipation
of
bringing
in
something
that's
dangerous.
So
can
bpda
tonight
answer
the
question
how
many
labs
are
going
to
be
in
this
particular
facility
and
when
is
the
public
safety
meeting
for
the
public
going
to
happen?
Thank
you.
AV
Good
evening,
thank
you.
Madam
Secretary
I,
first
like
to
start
off
I
think
in
the
whole
BPA
team
for
Grant
myself
and
the
community
as
a
whole,
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
half
of
this
project.
This
process
is
critical
for
all
stakeholders
and
it's
biochem
shared
our
city
as
a
responsible
developers
and
development
team
that
not
only
invest
in
their
projects
but
also
invest
in
our
communities
as
well.
AV
My
name
is
Ron
McDonough
I'm
business
agent
of
Labor's
worker
223
in
Dorchester
and
on
behalf
of
my
membership,
I
speak
in
full
support
of
this
project
and
I
commend
the
development
team,
responsible
development
team
related
Bill,
a
great
presentation
and
I
hope.
Everybody
had
a
great
evening
thanks
for
the
opportunity.
AI
AS
Good
evening
business
agent
for
Boston
Pike
Resort
537
in
Boston
I
represent
100
a
couple
hundred
Boston
residents
and
I
come
before
you
tonight
in
full
support
of
this
project
and
I
want
to
thank
you.
AT
AT
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
the
work
done
on
this
job
will
be
when
you're
built,
which
will
help
build
great
careers
for
residents
and
members
that
are
Building.
Trades
great
careers
directly
help
to
build
great
communities
in
so
many
ways.
So
any
chance
to
work
in
this
city
with
easy
access
to
a
job
site
is
always
a
plus
for
members
in
the
community.
Union
sites
are
the
safety
sites,
because
safety
is
our
top
priority
through
our
investments
in
Education
and
Training,
every
worker,
every
work
of
benefits
should
be
met.
AT
I
wanted
to
end
it
off
again
saying
thank
you.
I
support
this
project
also,
thank
you
to
related
bill
for
a
great
project
and
also
thank
you
to
Kevin
I
appreciate
that
so
much.
AW
Good
evening
my
name
is
Pat
O'toole
I
just
wanted
to
first
thank
the
bpda
and
the
board
for
having
this
meeting
this
evening.
I
do
represent
the
members
of
local
six,
the
heat
and
frost
insulated
workers
and
Allied
Workers.
This
is
a
project
that
we
can
support.
It
provides
jobs
for
unions
across
the
trades
and
also
people
who
live
directly
in
the
community
and
the
members
that
you
know
that
I
support
that
we
all
support
and
I.
We
approve
on
this
project.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
great
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
start
off
the
the
questioning
just
want
to
address
some
of
the
themes
that
came
up.
B
So
can
you
please
just
give
some
of
the
detail
around
the
The
Core
Labs,
the
number
of
them,
and
also
now
that
for
this
project
you
actually
do
have
a
tenant
right.
So
so
now,
what
is
the
the
agreed
upon
like
biosafety
level
for
this.
BI
Yes,
so
the
agreed
upon
biosafety
level
is
bio
level
two
and,
in
addition,
in
terms
of
the
development
of
the
labs,
obviously
vertex
is
you
know
one
of
Boston's
foremost
biotech
companies.
They
have
in
Boston
in
excess,
a
million
three
or
a
million
four
square
feet
and
growing.
BI
You
know
they
obviously
are
from
an
interior
standpoint,
fully
aware
of
all
of
their
compliance
requirements
and
be
assured
that
relative
to
the
building
permit
process,
which
will
Define
specifically
whether
or
not
those
everything
is
in
compliance,
that
vertex
would
do
that.
Every
lab
building
is
designed
really
to
meet
a
certain.
Let's
call
it
percentage
between
lab
and
office,
and
this
building
is
designed
at
a
60
percent
lab
and
forty
percent
office
level.
BI
So
you
have
quite
a
bit
of
non-lab
space
in
every
lab.
Building
and
protex
is
in
is
right
now
in
the
process
of
completing
and
executing
on
the
specific
lab
Design
Within
each
each
of
the
floors
that
will
all
have
to
be
approved
once
that
design
is
completed
and
will
be
submitted
to
to
the
city
in
order
to
to
verify
that,
in
fact,
they're
in
keeping
with
all
of
the
standards
that
are
that
are
necessary.
B
Okay,
great,
thank
you.
B
I,
don't
know
if
anyone
from
the
agency
knows
about
that
that
public
safety
meeting,
if
you
do
chime
in
but
I'm,
not
sure
what
what
if
that
exists
or
details.
B
Okay,
so
last
question
just
wanted
to
with
regard
to
your
community
benefits
package.
I
think
it's
very
well
thought
out
very
well
comprehensive
and
in
alignment
with
what
what
we
like
to
see
at
the
board
and
and
definitely
kind
of
set
the
standard.
So
I
want
to
know
for
the
particular
aspects
of
you
mentioned:
you'd
have
a
material
portion
of
of
suppliers,
bwmbes.
B
You
mentioned
something
about
ownership.
Can
you
just
go
go
over
those.
BI
This
was
actually
an
edic,
a
bid
land
project
as
as
I'm
sure
the
port
knows
all
of
the
sites
within
the
Raymond
Flynn
marine
park
or
on
a
ground
lease
and
the
edic
didn't
did
a
terrific
job
in
terms
of
requiring
all
of
the
respondents
to
basically
apply
a
Dei
lens
to
their
proposal
and
make
commitments
relative
to
to
the
in
their
proposal
relative
to
wnbe
teams,
and
so,
for
example.
BI
In
our
our
proposal,
we
have
I
think
I
mentioned
the
brief
Boston
real
estate
inclusion
fund,
they're,
actually,
an
equity
partner
with
us
and
Richard
Taylor
as
a
principal
of
that
organization,
will
essentially
be
providing.
BI
You
know
approximately
10
to
11
million
dollars
of
real
Equity
from
black
and
brown
investors
at
levels
of
investment
from
you
know,
50
to
100
000,
so
even
at
the
highest
level
of
of
where
we're
really
working
with
with
potential
investors
there's
Dei
component
that
falls
down
to
then
our
design
team,
which
has
a
significant
percentage
of
wmbe
that
are
that
are
engaged
in
the
in
the
design.
We
have
wmb
engagement
with
construction
and
with
both
General
Contractors,
as
well
as
as
well
as
we
will
be.
BI
As
we
buy
out
the
deal
through
subcontractor
element.
We
will
have
goals
associated
with
that,
and
we've
actually
employed
a
wnb
group
to
help
us
who
has
expertise
in
ensuring
that
that
information
gets
out
to
the
minority
subcontractor
populations
so
that
we
get
appropriate
bids
in
and
are
able
to,
if
necessary,
even
connect
these
groups
with
other
groups
in
order
to
list
them
to
a
level
of
capability
that
in
the
future,
they
could
bid
independently
on
their
own
on
projects
so
and
that
all
goes
all
the
way
through
through
operations.
BI
It's
actually
was
a
great
exercise
for
us
because
related
Beale,
as
an
organization
believes
in
it
and
is
implementing
now
throughout
our
operations
and
tracking
our
wnbe
by
throughout,
not
only
here
at
related
bill
but
related
throughout
the
country
and-
and
we
actually
at
any
moment,
can
tell
exactly
how
much
of
our
spend
is
going
to
wmb
firms
and
a
lot
of
that
came
as
a
result
of
really
engaging
with
the
bpda
and
through
this,
this
process.
S
Go
ahead
just
manage
it
just
answer.
Your
second
question.
I
know
you're,
probably
wondering
Steve
just
relative
to
the
point
you're
regarding
the
public
safety
meeting.
So
currently
on
our
website.
There
is
a
life
science
action
agenda
that
is
posted.
There's
we're
taking
a
multi,
fast
approach
to
dealing
with
this
issue.
One
of
them
is
a
community
engagement
approach.
S
We
are
in
the
process
of
coordinating
a
public
safety
meeting,
an
interagency
public
safety
meeting
where
we
talk
through
just
how
these
the
different
regulations
that
I
spoke
to
earlier
are
play
in
the
in
the
regulatory
review
of
these
projects
through
that
coordination
has
been
a
little
delay,
but
it
is
something
that
is
on
our
interagency.
S
B
You
thank
you
Michael
for
that
for
that
update
and
just
on
that
note,
it
would
be
really
great
to
either
you
know.
That's
a
one
meeting.
B
S
I
understood,
yeah
and
I
think
the
goal
is
to
look
at
where
we
have
high
concentrations
of
labs
and
I.
Think
you
know
we.
We
have
a
mapping
tool,
part
of
that
action
agenda
and
to
focus
in
different
neighborhoods,
but
I
love
the
idea
that
it's
recorded
and
posted
in
something
that
we
can
refer
to
so
understood.
Thank
you
great.
B
Great,
so
thank
you.
No
any
additional
questions
or
comments
for
the
developer
on
this
project.
E
Madam,
chair
I,
have
a
I,
have
a
comment
and
a
question:
I
guess
great
job.
Mike
you've
done
it
a
number
of
times
tonight
explaining
the
bio
kind
of
process,
but
I
think
a
video
definitely
would
be
needed.
Maybe
posted
as
those
were
waiting
to
testify
could
watch
some
just
basic
facts
around
levels,
one
to
four
I
was
very,
very
involved
in
The
Bu
project.
E
It
seems
like
it
was
over
20
years
ago
at
this
point
and
learned
a
lot.
We
actually
did
a
tour
of
the
building.
That's
inside
of
another
building
and
there's
two
buildings
there.
Most
people
don't
know.
Steve
bio
seems
to
be
the
latest,
Target
and
I.
Think
a
lot
of
it
is
due
to
covet.
E
Unfortunately,
and
and
people
have
real
concerns,
I
guess:
I
I've
been
through
a
lot
and
learned
a
lot,
so
I
can't
be
critical
if
they
don't
know
the
facts,
but
so
I
I
think
there's
definitely
a
need
there
in
the
presentation
to
put
a
lot
of
that
there.
E
But
having
said
that,
we're
very
very
fortunate
to
have
vertex
and
others
in
the
area
and
I
noticed
the
12
million
dollar
public
benefit
and
just
using
ten
thousand
dollars
as
a
property
tax,
that's
1200
homes,
taxes
and
that's
a
lot
of
taxes
and
been
around
a
while
I
remember
when
vertex
first
came
into
the
area,
it's
changed
a
lot
since
then
in
the
other
buildings,
and
then
this
building
here
I'm
curious.
If
you
know
the
answer
to
this
I'm,
a
property
taxes
does
vertex
pay
to
the
city
of
Boston
annually.
BI
I
do
not
know
that
answer,
but
with
their
million
square
feet
in
the
fan
Pier,
which
must
have
a
massive
valuation
associated
with
it.
I
am
sure
it
is
a
very
significant
tax
payment.
BI
E
E
Well,
I
do
know:
75
percent
of
the
Cities
budget
comes
from
commercial
real
estate,
which
is
going
to
change
based
on
the
assessments
that
are
going
to
come
through
based
on
occupancy
and
buildings,
aren't
worth
as
much
so
anytime
that
you
know
whether
it's
the
downtown
crossing
project
or
any
other
project
me
as
a
resident
taxpayer
needs
Revenue,
bio
Community.
You
can't
do
from
your
house
right,
you
can't
work
at
your
house
and
do
bio
work,
so
it's
something
I
think
more
people
should
embrace.
E
If
you
live
in
the
city
in
and
enjoy
the
things
that
we
get
from
trash
to
police,
to
fire,
to
teach
us
to
snow
plows
to
everything
else,
and
it's
just
I
think
that
should
that's
needed
and
as
we
present
these
bio
projects
and
hopefully
others
that'll
watch
not
skid
off,
we
should
be
embracing
with
it
as
long
as
it's
safe,
of
course.
So
that's
my
question
in
my
comment.
Madam
chair.
B
Okay,
great
additional
questions
or
comments
from
the
board:
okay,
one.
B
Benefits
that
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
I
like
and
have
that
being
on
the
record
is
that
state-of-the-art
teaching
lab
and
you
know,
training
up
people
or
our
local
bostonians
and
members.
B
People
in
the
area
to
to
fill
those
labs,
that
million
and
plus
amount
of
square
feet
that
you've
got
going
there.
So
yeah
just
want
to
to
recognize
that.
So
there
are
no
other
questions
or
comments.
Emotion
is
in
order,
so.

Again,
the
project
before

is
the
fourth
phase
of
the
Garrison

project
included
request
for
proposal,
proposals
from
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
to
create
home
ownership
opportunities
through

29
units
of
housing
that
were
developed
by
private
Developers.
AY
Responding
to
these
rfps
and
throughout
this
process
we
required
two-thirds
of
the
units
as
income
restricted.
The
fourth
phase
of
the
project,
which
is
presented
in
front
of

will
be
made
affordable
to
those
earning
between
80
and
100

BK
This
is

Looking
from

Worthing
looking
towards
the
Southwest,
you
can
see
virtually
a
good
portion
of
the
entire
Block,
it's
apparently
vacant,
and
there
is
the
attention
to
replace
seven
one
and
two
family
homes
on
this
and,
as
you
can
see
on
the

there's
a
barricaded
Alleyway
that
is
going
to
be
converted
as
part
of
this
project
and
very
to
an

making
it
into
a

Etc
next
slide,
please.
BK
This
is
the
overall
side
plan
showing
the
13
buildings
19
homes
here
the
one
who
have
stressed
that
you
shall
notice
every
home.
Every
unit
has
individual
parking
so
that
nobody
has
to
everybody.
Can
nobody
has
to
go
to
some
other
owner
or
tenant
in
their
building?
They
ask
them
to
move
their
car.
They
all
have.
The
owners
of
each
individual
unit
have
total
control
of
their
parking.
BK
BK
So
this
gives
you
some
views.
This
is
looking
West
on
new
I'm
from
the
new
Halep
street.
So,
as
you
can
see
on
the
two
corners
on
the
left
and
right,
there
are
some
existing
buildings
there
or
directly
across
the
street,
and
then
we
are
infilling
by
putting
in
four
new
buildings
along
what
will
be
in
now
in
New
Street.
Next
slide,
please.
BK
BK
How
we
are
proposing
to
infill
the
buildings
with
something
that
looks
very
similar
and
in
the
middle
or
a
third
of
the
way
from
the
left
you
see
where
the
new
Harold

is
going
to
be
added
into
the
development,
which
is
also
part
of
what
the
developer
contractor

development
Crosswinds
Enterprise
will
be
constructing.
They
are
a
local
developer
to
the
area.
They
did
the
previous
two
phases
and
they're
100,
MB
and
I.
Think
that
is
the
end
of
our
presentation.
We
appreciate
your
time
and,
of
course,
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions.

being
right
next
door.
BL
It
was
then
known
as
40
B
Street
when
this
board
approved
it
back
in
March
of
2018
and
is
now
known
as
55
West,
5th
Street
and
has
been
completed
and
fully
occupied.
It's
a
50
unit,
building
right
next
door
to
the
site
which
is
before
you
this
evening,
which
is
34
B
Street
shown
in
red.
The
two
Parcels
originally
were
combined.
It
was
an
18
000
square
foot
lot
that
consisted
of
one
of
those
low
low
rise
is
low
use,
industrial
type
sites.
BL
It
was
an
auto
body
shop
with
a
large
surface
parking
lot,
which
was
very
consistent
with
a
lot
of
the
streetscape
along
B
street,
from
the
West
Broadway
Terminus
to
the
north,
down
to
Dorchester
Ave
to
the
South.
If
you
go
down
B
Street
today
from
Broadway
to
Dorchester
Ave,
what
you
will
see
is
an
entire
row
of
residential
buildings
with
one
vacant
space
left
on
the
Block
right
here
at
34b
street.
BL
B
Street
was
envisioned
as
being
transformed
into
a
residential
Court
Corridor
and
with
this
project
before
you
tonight,
that's
precisely
what
has
happened.
It
also
makes
it
a
lot
easier
and
more
predictable
for
proponents
to
take
the
principles
of
the
plan
and
apply
them
to
proposals
that
are
then
brought
through
the
process
and
presented
to
you
for
approval.
For
example,
the
IDP
base
is
13,
because
this
is
still
underlying
zoning
and
in
the
plan.av
there
were
certain
density
bonus
incentives
to
increase
the
IDP
percentage.
BL
BL
When,
and
proponents
have
a
nice
150
page
guide
on
how
to
do
it
and
how
to
do
it
right.
As
I
said,
this
is
phase
two,
which
will
be
another
45
units.
BL
The
buildings
are
connected
across
the
front:
eight
IDP
units
and
a
large
roof
deck
similar
to
the
roof,
deck
that
exists
at
55,
West,
5th,
Street,
22
parking
garage
spaces
which
consists
of
17,
regular
spaces
and
five
stacked
spaces,
which
is
a
lower
ratio
than
the
existing
parking
at
55,
West,
5th
Street,
but
consistent
with
that
direction
of
lower
ratio,
parking
or
buildings,
especially
at
this
location,
which
is
just
a
five
minute,
walk
to
the
Broadway
Red
Lion
t
station,
which
is
not
only
the
red
line,
but
also
a
very
busy
bus,
Terminus,
the
number
nine
bus
to
the
south
end
and
Back
Bay,
the
number
11

into
the
financial
district,
the

other
Crosstown

point
across
the

of
the
building.
Always
these
were
envisioned
as
phase

That

no

exists
just
slightly
to

not
shown
on

But
for
your
consideration
and
and
to
keep
in
mind,
you
probably
are
aware
it's
a
large
hole
in
the
ground
right
now
known
as
270

stay

That

your
consideration
this

I
believe,
that's
it
I
think.
Is
there
one
more

just
some
of
the

If
you're
looking
head-on
from
across

you
can
see
there,
it
is
and
I
believe
that
is
it
yes,
45
units,
17,

IDP,
bike

that
concludes
our
presentation.
B
Okay,

G
B
AW
AA
Episode
board,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
being
here
tonight
and
taking
all
the
actions
that
you
took.
I've
just
got
a
few
notes
for
us
here
at
the
end
here
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
at
these
meetings
are
again
where
the
business
of
the
city
gets
down.
We
very
much
appreciate
your
individual
time
and
attention
to
those
things
tonight.
You
approved
seven
new
development
projects,
123
new
residential
units,
51
income,
restricted
units,
approximately
41
of
all
the
units
that
were
approved.
AA
You
approved
development
that
the
developers
cost
estimate
for
which
is
868
million
dollars.
Its
products
represent
1.2
million
square
feet
of
total
development
and
we'll
put
over
1
100
trades
people
to
work,
creating
two
over
twenty
2600
new
jobs.
AA
So
got
a
lot
of
things.
To
summarize
tonight,
I'll
try
to
be
as
brief
as
I
can,
but
because
we
are
a
organization
run
by
people,
I
do
want
to
highlight
to
departures
that
are
important
to
highlight
Michael
canizzo,
our
long
time,
deputy
director
for
Urban
Design,
will
soon
begin.
His
well
well-earned
retirement
Michael,
like
some
others,
has
spent
the
last
37
years
worked
to
advance
Boston.
Both
the
dpda
and
the
landmarks
commission
is
at
a
career-long
commitment
to
better
in
Boston.
AA
Well
on
the
landmarks
commission,
he
was
intimately
involved
with
the
review
of
numerous
projects
that
shaped
the
Renaissance
of
the
south
end
in
the
90s
and
2000s.
Again,
it's
tenure
at
BPD
21
years
ago,
in
2002
as
a
senior
architect
for
the
last
four
years,
he's
led
the
department
as
deputy
director
on
in
over
design.
AA
While
here
we
were
at
the
team,
Harrison
Avenue
Corridor
strategic
plan,
which
has
resulted
in
very
successful
development
staff
describing
as
a
kind
respected
and
bottomless
well
with
patients-
and
we
also
know
him
for
his
distinctive
distinctive
parents
as
well.
At
any
rate,
Mike
is
no
doubt
made
an
indelible
impact
on
the
city
of
Boston
for
the
last
two
decades
here
and
before
that,
with
the
for
that
downstairs
with
the
landmark
commission,
we
wish
him
the
very
best
in
his
retirement
and
thank
him
for
his
service.
AA
A
personal
note,
I
learned
a
lot
of
what
I
know
about
historic
preservation
from
Michael
working
here
many
years
ago,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
for
him
in
this
next
chapter,
but
also
knowing,
if
he
had
anything
like
the
impact
he
had
on
me
on
others,
that
it
was
a
very
significant
impact
which
I
think
personally.
AA
I
also
wanted
to
say.
Thanks
to
another
departing
staff,
member
Kenan
Ryan
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
at
the
end
of
the
month,
we'll
be
losing
an
expert
in
City
Planning
that
the
person
that
Kenneth
spent
for
our
staff
he's
worked
here
since
2018
as
a
senior
planner
too.
As
a
voted
to
various
roles.
AA
Today,
she's,
the
deputy
director
of
downtown
neighborhood
planning
at
which
is
now
recently
been
been
changed
into
a
comprehensive
planning
role
during
her
time
at
the
agency,
has
been
made
a
major
impression
on
her
team
and
has
been
a
great
team
player
that
stepped
up
and
been
acting
for
us
when
we
needed
effort
which
works.
You
know
we
appreciative
peers,
holder
in
high
regard
and
I
think
Kevin's
work
has
been
developed
around
the
city,
we're
gonna.
AA
We
will
express
our
sincere
appreciation
for
all
the
hard
work
she's
contributed
and
wish
her
the
very
best
in
her
next
Endeavors,
we'll
miss
your
humor
and
hard
work
around
the
office
so
leaving
those
notes
on
to
some
of
the
things
you
did
today.
So
it
took
a
series
of
actions
today
that
are
really
important
to
modernizing
some
of
the
aspects
of
the
way
the
agency
works
together
and
they're
things
that
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
kind
of.
AA
As
a
group,
specifically
the
hiring
of
an
ombuds
person
today
was
a
significant
step.
We
think
to
making
sure
that
development
that's
been
approved,
gets
into
construction.
We
have
the
benefit
of
having
this
board
take
action
on
thousands
of
units
of
housing
by
way
of
example,
much
of
which
has
been
again
all
approved
by
this
board.
AA
But
many
of
those
developments
have
not
started
construction
and
we
made
a
higher
today
inviting
Mike
Sinatra
who's
been
a
long
time
outstanding
staff
member
here
to
become
the
person
who
takes
those
cases
and
those
projects
that
have
been
approved
here
but
may
need
one
or
two
small
moves
to
take
place
in
other
parts
of
our
agency
or
other
parts
of
the
city
of
built
environment
cabinet
to
actually
go
into
construction
Mike's
going
to
advance
that.
So
we
want
to
congratulate
him
and
thank
him
for
joining
us
and
doing
that.
AA
With
your
help,
we
also
selected
article
80
Consultants,
both
for
community
engagement
and
modernizing
the
code.
Keeping
up
it's
a
great
code.
I
can
tell
you
having
worked
in
other
places,
it's
an
outstanding
approach
to
developing
mitigation
and
bringing
forward
to
the
community
the
proposals
that
that
teams
have
in
a
way
that's
thoughtful.
We've
got
a
chance
to
sort
of
in
a
thoughtful
way,
bring
forward
a
series
of
changes
that
reform
it
and
and
encapsulate
all
the
things
that
have
happened
since
1996
to
build
on
it
in
a
way.
AA
That's
easy
for
hopefully
easy
for
developers
to
to
absorb
my
favorite
example.
Is
we
used
to
have
statutory
or
regulatory
Milestones
that
guided
our
response
at
such
great
development
volume
in
our
city
over
the
last
years
that
we
need
to
update
those
again
provide
the
kind
of
predictability
the
development
industry
needs
and
the
community
members
need
frankly
to
to
make
everyone's
work
easier
and
enable
development
so
on
both
of
the
selection
of
Matrix
and
selection
of
archipelago?
AA
AA
So
I
highlight
that,
along
with
changes
that
were
made
tonight
with
the
Boston
Civic
design
commission
as
a
package,
because
it's
those
things
together,
we're
part
of
changes
that
we
we
promised
to
begin
initiating
in
December
and
January
of
last
year
this
year
respectively,
and
these
are
all
Milestones
towards
those
efforts
to
cause
development
to
be
more
predictable
in
the
city
that
we
promised
to
make
and
with
your
support
and
help.
AA
AA
AA
That
project,
along
with
22
Dry
Dock,
are
both
going
to
be
zero
net
carbon
projects,
a
critical
thing
for
the
the
folks
who
focus
on
culture
and
our
community
is
the
fact
that
while
155
was
originally
home
to
a
long-standing
rehearsal
and
recording
space
as
part
of
the
community
benefits
and
mitigation
package
for
this
project,
the
owner's
going
to
transfer
ownership
of
a
property
in
its
entirety,
an
entire
building
at
290,
North
Beacon,
the
bpda
for
rehearsal
space,
so
that
there
won't
be
any
loss
of
debt
loss
of
cultural
space.
AA
We're
going
to
be
working
to
it's
going
to
be
one
of
the
most
significant
mitigation
packages
that
that
moack
or
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
and
BPD
have
received
it's
an
outstanding
commitment
by
aqhq
who's
proposed
the
project
and
we're
really
excited
about
what
this
means
for
the
cultural
Community
in
in
that
specific
neighborhood,
and
also
what
it
means
is
sort
of
a
precedent.
Setting
investment
for
other
uses.
The
succession
of
uses
that
don't
have
to
displace
important
cultural
aspects
of
our
community.
AA
We
can
actually
achieve
both
I
want
to
thank
our
staff,
who
worked
very
intently
on
this
very
closely
with
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture.
It's
a
great
project
that
we're
really
pleased
that
you
approved
it
tonight.
Also
on
20
and
22
Dry
Dock
vertex
is
investment
along
with
related
in
in
the
Raymond
Flynn
Industrial
Park.
It's
it's
also
a
signal
investment
for
the
City
by
one
of
our
leading
corporate
entities
and
one
of
our
waiting
development,
and
it
is
it's
also
being
done
on
bpda
controlled
property.
AA
It's
also
an
example
of
bringing
a
different
approach
to
financing
that
development
forward,
a
one
that
has
the
potential
to
bring
and
make
sure
that
a
wide
range
of
people
who
may
not
have
been
able
to
participate
in
holding
stakes
and
the
value
of
those
increasing
states
are
going
to
have
Again
part
of
the
work
we're
doing
on
Dei
to
require
that
as
people
are
pleading
responses
to
bids
here,
they're
bringing
new
sources
of
capital
representing
again
the
full
scope
of
the
community.
AA
In
the
investment
in
those
projects,
is
it
going
to
be
life,
science
and
research
development
uses
that
are
consistent
with
the
Master
Plan
update
to
encourage
these
new
economic
uses.
Significant
public
benefits
are
even
summarized
by
members
of
the
board.
Tonight
won't
go
further
into
it,
but
it's
a
great
example
of
public
land
or
public
good
and
we're
thrilled
about
the
outcome.
AA
It's
really
thrilling
to
listen
to
and
hear
about,
and
I
want
to
significantly
recognize
the
team
behind
that
work,
both
on
the
out
in
the
field
whose
the
team
is
going
to
develop
it
and
our
team
internally
who's
been
working
so
hard
on
using
bpda
land.
The
public
good
and
projects
I'm
like
the
one
that
was
approved,
I'm
excited
about
not
just
the
all
the
elements
I
talked
about,
but
also
the
developer.
AA
There
windale
who's
had
a
wide
experience
in
Roxbury,
developing
a
ownership
projects
for
the
community
forward
to
seeing
the
final
result
of
that
work,
and
so
then
finally,
I
just
wanted
to
just
highlight,
say
a
personal
thanks
to
this
board
and
all
the
staff
and
the
agency
for
a
first
year
for
me,
I'm
working
here
that
I
found
very
rewarding
educational
and
looking
forward
to
more
together
the
staff
and
the
board
Advanced
over
4
000
new
residential
units
through
approval
during
this
time,
over
1800
income
restricted
units
with
a
very
significant
developer's
cost.
AA
Again.
The
work
we're
talking
about
is
work,
that's
done
by
our
developer,
Partners
in
the
field
and
in
the
community,
but
without
the
hard
work
of
the
staff
and
the
time
and
attention
of
the
board.
Those
approvals
wouldn't
take
place
and
the
development
would
take
place.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
personal
thanks
to
you
for
being
a
great
collaborators
and
partners
during
that
year
and
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
many
more
and
with
that,
I
would
say
thanks
again
for
for
the
evening's
work
and
pass
it
back
to
the
chair
episode.
B
AA
B
B
Awesome
so
great,
let's
I
need
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
meeting
so.
