Okay,
so
beginning
with
the
Edic
agenda,
item
number
1
request
authorization
for
approval
of
the
minutes
of
the
December
12
2019
meeting
a
motion
is
in
order
so
moved
all
those
in
favor,
aye,
guys,
habit.
Motion
passes
item
number
two
request:
authorization
to
grant
tentative
designation
status
to
and
enter
into
lease
negotiation
negotiations
with
the
Cronin
Group
LLC
to
facilitate
the
long
term
lease
and
redevelopment
of
24
drydock
Avenue
within
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
marine
park.
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
Madam,
Secretary
and
members
of
the
board
24
to
26
drydock
Avenue
consists
of
approximately
32,000
square
feet
of
land,
with
a
three-story,
approximately
30,000
square
feet
plus
basement
building.
This
property
is
part
of
a
BPD,
a
lease
with
Boston
ship
repair,
a
division
of
northeast
ship
repair
of
Philadelphia
as
part
of
its
act
of
drydock
3
complex
in
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
marine
park,
because
Boston
ship
repair
lacks
the
available
capital
to
develop
the
24
drydock
building.
B
It
is
estimated
that
Boston
ship
repair
accounts
for
100
jobs
within
its
leasehold
area,
as
well
as
500
indirect
jobs.
Accordingly,
staff
received
authorization
to
advertise
this
RFP
at
the
June
2019
board.
The
RFP
was
issued
on
July
13
2019,
with
responses
to
on
August
14
2019.
Five
excellent
proposals
were
received.
The
selection
committee
working
with
a
financial
consultant
under
contract
with
BPD
a
consisted
of
multidisciplinary
BPD,
a
staff
who
analyzed
the
proposals
in
great
detail,
conducted
interviews
with
all
five
proponents
and
deliberated
carefully
to
arrive
at
today's
recommendation
to
the
board.
B
The
selection
committee
also
included
representatives
from
Boston
ship
repair
to
ensure
that
their
interests
were
represented.
The
selection
committee
determined
that
the
cronin
Group
LLC
submitted
the
most
advantageous
proposal.
That
determination
was
based
upon
the
following.
Crona
demonstrates
a
dedicated
commitment
to
redevelopment
within
the
Raima
Delta
and
Marine
Park
Cronin
intends
to
relocate
its
headquarters
to
24
drydock,
which
manifests
a
commitment
not
only
to
the
success
of
the
project
but
to
the
drydock
and
the
Marine
Park
their
proposed
development
program.
I'll.
For
this
to
show
you.
B
What
I
know
why
it's
not
advancing
Oh
Thank
You
Joyce,
here's
a
rendering
of
their
development.
Their
proposed
development
program
also
includes
significant
public
benefits
such
as
permanent
space
and
24
dry
dock
for
Cronin's
program
to
assist
non-english
speaking
employees
to
improve
their
English
language
skills,
permanent
programmable
space
for
the
nonprofit
organization,
save
the
harbor,
save
the
bet
Bay,
and
a
commitment
from
Ron
Burton
training
village
to
join
the
24
drydock
Education
and
Workforce
space
and
you'll
be
hearing
more
about
their
great
work
in
a
few
minutes.
B
It's
another
well,
a
detailed
diversity
and
inclusion
plan
that
includes
women-owned
business
enterprise.
Coup
d'etat
LLC
is
an
equity
partner,
minority
business
enterprise,
dhk
architecture
for
design
services
and
it
tails
the
meaningful
participation
of
people
of
color
and
women
in
all
phases
of
development,
from
equity
participation,
planning
and
design
to
construction
and
building
operations.
B
Finally,
cronin
offers
a
ground
lease
price
to
the
B
PDA
that
exceeds
the
RFPs
asking
price
and
provides
a
full
rent
subsidy
to
Boston
ship
repair.
Cronuts
development
program
is
for
an
approximately
eighty
one
point:
two
million
dollar
one
hundred
and
twenty
three
thousand
square
foot,
five-story,
building
plus
basement
with
Boston
ship
repair
space
in
a
marine
commissary
and
restaurant
activating
the
first
floor.
B
The
second
third
and
fourth
floors
will
accommodate
general
industrial
tenants,
including
lab
research
and
development
testing
and
engineering
uses
per
the
Marine
Park
master
plan
update
the
fifth
floor
will
contain
supporting
uses
for
marine
research
and
development
tenants,
as
well
as
the
Cronin
headquarters.
So
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
turn
the
presentation
over
to
Donna
Donna
camiolo
who's,
the
development
director
at
Cronin
development.
B
A
C
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
director
golden
my
name
is
Donna
camiolo
and
I'm
a
the
direct
development
director
for
the
Cronin
group.
First,
we
would
like
to
say
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
today.
We
are
thrilled
and
excited
to
be
working
with
the
BPD
a
and
with
our
new
partners
Boston
ship
repair.
C
We
understand
how
important
this
industry
is
to
the
city,
as
well
as
the
region
I'd
like
to
introduce
some
of
our
team
members
who
are
here
with
us
today
and
I,
think
they'll,
probably
wave
or
or
stand
up.
So
you
know
they
are
throughout
the
crowd:
Fernando
Dominique
from
dhk
architects,
Alberto
Carr
Denise
from
dhk,
architects,
Tosh,
taka
Tomo
from
dhk,
architects,
Paul
Burton
from
Ron,
Burton
training,
village,
also
Davide
Alexander
from
Ron
Burton
training,
village
and
we're
very
honored
to
have
mrs.
Joey
and
Burton
from
with
us.
Here
today.
C
We
also
have
Myers
Smith,
who
is
outreach
and
engagement
coordinator
for
save
the
harbor,
save
the
bay
Bruce
Berman
from
save
the
harbor,
save
the
bay
Claudia
Greene
director
of
English
for
the
new
Bostonians
and
joining
me
today
from
the
Conant
cronin
group
is
Michael
Kennedy,
who
is
our
CEO?
Oh
and
Abby
Burke?
Who
is
our
internal
architect?
C
We're
very
excited
about
the
proposed
project,
not
only
because
it
will
add
to
the
vitality
of
the
Seaport,
but
also
because
it
will
be
the
future
home
of
the
Cronin
group's
corporate
headquarters.
The
corona
group
has
approximately
2,400
employees,
of
which
80
percent
of
them
are
female
and
or
people
of
color
and
50
percent
of
them
reside
within
the
city
of
Boston.
C
In
addition
to
the
headquarters,
the
Cronin
commissary
will
also
be
located
within
the
building
and,
along
with
that,
will
be
a
lunch
counter
that
will
have
indoor
and
outdoor
seating,
which
we
think
will
be
a
great
amenity
for
the
surrounding
community,
as
well
as
really
activating
the
public
realm.
Within
that
area,
we've
partnered
with
three
nonprofit
organizations
to
provide
training
and
workforce
development
space
within
the
building,
as
well
as
funding
to
help
them
further
their
mission.
C
The
nonprofit's
include
English
for
the
new
Bostonians
who
provide
language
skill,
training
to
non-english
speaking
community
members
and
as
part
of
this
project,
we
will
offer
free
classes
to
anyone
interested
in
the
program.
Save
the
harbor
save
the
bay
provide
access
to
Boston,
Harbor
and
Island
to
all
Boston
residents.
C
The
new
space
will
allow
them
to
enhance
their
current
Boston
Harbor
programs
that
will
bring
more
than
15,000
unserved
underserved
and
low-income
children
and
families
to
the
Seaport
in
the
Ron
burden,
training
village,
who
provide
enhanced
in
enrichment
services
to
challenged
youths
with
focus
on
character
and
leadership,
development,
physical
fitness,
social
and
educational
advancement
in
spiritual
growth.
We
also
recognize
the
need
for
affordable
transportation
to
allow
the
community
access
to
the
employment
opportunities
within
the
building
and
within
the
Seaport
area,
as
well
as
the
job,
training
and
development
opportunities.
C
So
we've
been
working
closely
with
the
Massachusetts
Convention
Center
Authority
on
the
existing
free
shuttle
that
exists
from
South
Station
to
the
Seaport
area.
We
will
be
implementing
a
new
free
shuttle
from
Dudley
Square
to
our
building
and
other
locations
within
the
Seaport.
This
shuttle
will
allow
residents
access
to
all
of
the
benefits
that
are
happening
over
in
Seaport.
As
we
see
this,
this
growth
we've
as
I
said
where
the
team
is
really
excited
to
be
here.
C
A
A
A
E
Slightly
taller,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
director
golden.
Thank
you
for
giving
me
a
few
moments
to
talk
about
these
MOA
s
and
the
activity
that
has
been
happening
in
Boston
around
autonomous
vehicles,
I'm
Chris,
Carter,
a
co-chair,
the
mayor's
office
of
new
urban
mechanics
and
I'm
here
to
talk
specifically
about
those
memorandums
of
agreement
and
how
they
impact
the
roads
within
the
rifle
and
Marine
Park.
E
The
AV
program,
as
you're
aware
of,
was
started
in
2016
I'm,
not
going
to
speak
too
much
to
the
history
of
that
program,
but
happy
to
go
into
those
details.
If
you
have
questions
to
that,
the
mayor's
executive
order
in
2016
permitted
testing
of
autonomous
vehicles-
and
this
really
grew
out
of
the
go
Boston
2030
transportation
planning
process.
Where
we
heard
residents
identify
three
principle
goals.
How
do
we
make
our
streets
safer?
How
do
we
make
our
transportation
system
safer
and
how
do
we
make
it
our
more
reliable?
E
And
how
do
we
make
our
transportation
more
accessible
in
the
United
States,
almost
40,000
people
each
year
died
from
vehicle
crashes
about
the
same
number
of
people
who
died
from
breast
cancer.
We
as
a
society
have
sort
of
become
desensitized
to
this
traffic
violence
and
the
scale
of
those
deaths.
In
Boston.
Last
year
there
were
10
fatalities
on
our
streets.
Over
4000
people
were
injured
as
a
result
of
crashes.
In
a
study
from
the
National
Highway
Transportation
Safety
Administration,
it
was
stated
that
94%
of
crashes
are
result
of
human
error.
E
28%
of
crashes
are
from
drunk
driving
as
we
think
about
the
future
and
autonomous
vehicles
being
on
our
roadways.
We
are
confident
the
vehicles
don't
drink,
they
hopefully
are
not
distracted
by
cell
phones
and
they
follow
the
speed
limits.
In
addition
to
perhaps
addressing
critical
safety
concerns,
we
believe
that
there,
with
the
right
policies
put
in
place,
the
technology
can
help
us
address
first
and
last
mile
connectivity
issues
solve
transportation,
challenges
for
older
and
aging
adults.
Third
shift
workers
and
provide
a
strong
link
to
public
transportation.
E
Since
2017
we've
had
thousands
of
hours
of
driven
autonomously
on
Boston
roadways
without
incident
in
the
fall
of
2018,
we
revisited
our
testing
application
process
with
mass
dot
and
MAPC,
and
a
dozen
surrounding
municipalities
over
the
course
of
2019.
We
put
together
a
new
version
of
an
MOA
testing
plans
and
an
application
process,
and
we
believe,
is
a
model
for
other
states.
E
We
were
here
before
you
today
requesting
approval
to
enter
into
this
new
MOA.
The
updated
version
has
a
first
responder
interaction
plan,
updated
crash
protocol
should
that
occur.
Unfolds
information
on
safety
driver
training
that
had
previously
been
agreed
to
with
these
companies,
but
was
not
part
of
an
MMA
process.
The
new
MOA
runs
for
a
two-year
period
instead
of
the
current
one-year
period
requires
monthly
reporting
that
is
publicly
accessible
on
the
city
of
Boston
and
mascots
website
and
monthly
conference
calls
with
all
partners
and
parties
in
the
MOA.
E
As
always,
testing
in
Massachusetts
requires
a
safety
driver.
These
vehicles
are
not
driving
by
themselves.
Additionally,
both
of
the
companies
that
were
putting
for
you
today
utilize
a
safety
associate
who
rides
as
a
passenger
as
an
additional
check
on
the
vehicles
performance.
I
ask
when's
the
last
time
you
looked
into
a
car
and
saw
two
people
solely
focused
on
the
task
of
getting
from
A
to
B.
E
It
is
not
the
biggest
ROI.
We
hope
to
see
it's
preventing
those
crashes,
those
10
fatalities,
those
thousands
of
people
that
were
treated
by
Boston
EMS
last
year
and
fostering
the
industry.
Here.
We
hopefully
think
that
those
advantages
will
accrue
here.
First
in
Boston,
we
are
not
conflating
business
models
with
technology
development.
The
current
testing
plans
agreed
to
by
the
city
and
mascot
and
here
in
this
MOA,
do
allow
for
passenger
carriage
as
part
of
vehicle
testing,
but
the
testing
plans
explicitly
do
not
allow
companies
to
charge
a
fee
for
those
rides.
E
E
Lastly,
I
believe
that
is
in
poor,
the
City
of
Boston,
our
Street
Network
and
the
BPD
a
streets
operate
as
a
seamless
network.
The
Boston
Transportation
Department
feels
that
is
not
appropriate
to
charge
a
fee
for
testing
these
vehicles
on
the
850
miles
of
Boston
streets
and
in
conversations
with
BPD
a
staff.
They
agree
that
adding
a
feed
operations
to
just
be
PDA
on
roads
would
be
a
cumbersome
dual
system.
That
would
be
difficult
to
manage
happy
to
take
any
questions
that
you
have
this
time.
A
F
A
Okay,
any
questions
from
the
board
hearing.
None
a
motion
is
in
order
so
moved.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
motion
passes
item
number
five
request:
authorization
to
amend
the
ground
lease
with
coastal
cement
corporation,
to
extend
the
term
of
the
ground
lease
and
by
and
the
deadline
to
exercise
the
third
option
term
until
June
1st
2020
Devon.
Thank.
G
You,
madam
chair
members,
aboard
coastal
cement
corporation,
has
been
attending
in
the
marine
park.
Since
1985,
you
may
recognize
their
facilities,
the
four
giant
cement
silos
at
the
eastern
edge
of
the
harbor.
They
are
the
perfect
example
of
a
maritime
user.
They
qualify
as
a
hundred
percent
maritime
industrial
use
as
their
cement
is
manufactured
in
Portland
Maine
and
then
barge
to
Boston,
where
it's
offloaded
from
the
harbor
into
the
silos.
The
lease
terms
with
coastal
require
them
to
exercise
a
five-year
lease
extension
option
by
February
15th
this
year.
G
The
fixed
rent
for
each
option
period
is
not
predetermined,
at
least
instead
it's
to
be
negotiated
the
beginning
of
each
period
to
ensure
it
accurately
reflects
the
market
value.
For
this
unique
use.
Coastal
Smith
has
expressed
strong
interest
in
exercising
this
five-year
extension
BPD.
A
staff
have
worked
diligently
with
coastal
on
this
new
lease
agreement.
However,
a
final
deal
is
not
yet
emerged.
G
This
is
no
through
no
fault
of
coastal
cement
and
is
due
to
the
fact
that
BP
da
has
been
negotiating
a
complicated
for
party
agreement
on
new
boundaries
for
the
site
and
that's
an
agreement
between
Massport
de
Davis
companies,
B,
PDA
and
coastal.
So,
given
all
the
moving
parts
in
this
negotiation,
BPA
staff
are
requesting
and
approval
for
an
extension
of
the
term
of
the
ground
lease
and
the
deadline
for
exercising
Coastal's
option
agreement.
G
A
Any
questions
from
the
board
hearing
on
a
motion
is
in
order
so
moved
all
those
in
favor
aye
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
motion
passes.
Thank
you.
Okay.

hotel
amenities
and
retail
space.
It
expected
that
the
certificate
of
occupancy
will
be
issued
some
times
summer
of
2020,
as
is
the
case
in
most
of
the
property
of
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
Park.
The
land
is
landfill
and
was
a
former
South
Boston
naval.
H
Annex
in
terms
of
developing
the
site,
PCBs
were
found
on
the
site
as
part
of
the
remediation
and
so
forth
is
part
of
the
construction,
a
and
reportable
condition
to
chapter
21
of
mineral
law.
A
use
and
activity
limitation
is
being
put
on
the
site
which
will
determine
how
to
maintain
the
site
in
the
future
and
so
forth.
What
you
have
before
us-
and
it
will
have
no
effect
on
the
site-
is
really
a
housekeeping
vote.
H
Is
the
the
dirt
has
been
removed,
the
level
of
contamination
there
are
remaining
PCBs,
the
site
is
clean
and
so
forth
as
long
as
those
materials
are
not
disturbed
in
the
future
capped
and
so
forth
and
AOL
just
puts
restrictions
that,
in
the
future,
as
you're
doing
work
and
so
forth.
Here's
how
you
do
it
is
how
you
clean
it
is
how
you
maintain
it
and
so
forth,
but
the
site
has
been
cleaned
to
a
level
four
occupancy
by
a
hotel.

F
A
K
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
director
golden
Madam
Secretary
I,
am
Michelle
Goldberg.
The
budget
director
for
the
Boston
planning
and
development
agency
I'm
here
this
afternoon
to
share
a
brief
budget
update.
We
plan
to
present
the
FY
19
end
of
year
and
first
quarter
at
the
December
board,
but
with
the
jam
packed
agenda
we
felt
it
best
to
deliver
our
update
in
writing
and
to
allow
the
meeting
to
proceed.
That
said
tonight,
we
will
still
take
a
quick
peek
at
FY
19
end
of
year
and
then
I
will
provide
a
brief
budget
update.
K
K
All
right,
so
that's
our
summary
there
so,
but
I
walk
you.
Through
fiscal
year,
2019
began
on
July
1st
2018
and
concluded
on
June
30th
2019.
It
was
a
truly
historic
year
for
the
BPD,
a
we
saw,
favorable
performance
early
on
and
that
carried
through
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
but
that's
not
what
made
FY
1917
after
investing
upwards
of
15
million
dollars
of
capital
investments
to
the
China
trade
center.
We
are
finally
seeing
a
return
on
that
investment.
K
This
in
the
second
quarter
of
FY
19,
we
saw
two
large
one-time
transactions
that
reflect
the
BPD
a's
constant
effort
to
stimulate
economic
growth.
First,
the
BPD
a's
proceeds
from
the
related
bill
financing
and
second,
the
sale
of
the
crosstown
parcel
to
the
boston
medical
center
for
their
expansion.
This
resulted
in
an
extraordinary
operating
surplus
of
23
million
dollars.
This
is
highly
unusual
for
the
BPD
a
because
of
this.
It
was
the
first
time
in
many
years
that
the
VRA
did
not
need
an
intercompany
grant
from
Edic.
K
So
that
explains
some
of
the
variances
that
you
see
on
both
grant
income
and
contracted
services,
and
when
it
comes
to
expenses,
we're
starting
to
see
accuracy
on
our
salary
line,
we
are
getting
better
at
tracking
maintenance
costs
and
we
are
pleased
that
the
intercompany
grant
didn't
happen.
All
of
this
is
the
result
of
hard
work
from
staff
across
the
entire
agency
and
we're
really
proud
and
grateful
for
that.
What
also
made
FY
19
so
interesting
for
me
personally,
is
the
fact
that
we
set
up
our
capital
reserve
fund.
K
It
was
established
to
help
us
capture
the
strong
performance
and
direct
it
to
our
most
critical
infrastructure
needs.
The
positive
performance
in
FY
19
allowed
the
BPD
to
establish
this
reserve
fund
in
CDs
and
US
Treasury
notes,
regularly
review
the
portfolio
and,
as
appropriate
capital
needs
arise.
We
have
a
mechanism
to
draw
from
those
investments.
I
will
return
to
that
at
the
conclusion
of
the
presentation.
K
If
there's
any
questions,
there's
more
good
news,
the
positive
performance
is
continuing
in
FY
20
the
fiscal
year
began
on
July,
1
2019
and
the
first
quarter
was
quiet,
but
in
the
second
quarter
we
had
another
historic
transaction.
The
long-awaited
South
Station
air
rights
deal
has
been
finalized
and
we
received
our
first
payment.
3.6
million
we
budgeted
for
this
aren't
I
excited
that
it
won't
cause
a
large
variance
on
the
expense
side.
K
We
are
sure
we
still
have
a
ways
to
go
to
get
the
seasonality
right,
but
all
these
variances
are
reasonable,
given
where
we
are
in
the
year,
the
Edic
has
sent
intercompany
grant
to
b
ra
for
pension
and
other
post
post
retirement
benefit.
Expenses.
I
will
note
that
the
operating
budget
for
FY
22,
large
construction
projects,
the
coal
dirt
and
sinkhole
repair
at
the
Charlestown
Navy
Yard
and
the
demolition
and
remediation
of
building
108,
we
weren't
sure
exactly
when
permits
and
procurement
was
going
to
happen
for.
A
K
We
did
go
ahead
and
spread
it
across
the
whole
year.
So
that's
why
you
see
some
fairly
large
variances
in
the
property
management
category.
We're
gonna
clean
that
up,
because
it's
unlikely
we'll
realize
the
cost
for
that
hole
both
of
those
whole
projects
in
this
fiscal
year.
So
we're
gonna
have
to
shift
some
of
that
to
next
year
as
well.
Speaking
of
construction.
Let's
talk
capital.
We
are
seeing
signs
that
capital
spending
is
accelerating.
K
After
several
months
of
procurement
and
contracting
work,
we
continue
to
work
on
Black,
Falcon,
Ave
and
bills
are
coming
in
for
the
garage
repair
and
environmental
remediation
at
33
northern
Ave.
We
only
spent
about
four
million
dollars
in
FY
19
and
we
have
already
spent
about
that
amount
in
the
first
half
of
this
year.
As
we
all
know,
we
have
an
extensive
portfolio
of
over
200
million
dollars
of
capital
needs
to
ensure
our
assets
sustain
us
well
into
the
future.
K
We
have
worked
closely
with
the
real
estate
department
and
have
already
identified
over
10
million
from
that
portfolio
in
new
capital
requests.
The
bulkhead
is
jetty.
The
south
jetty
windows
at
China
trade,
long
wharf
bulkhead
improvements,
are
just
some
of
the
projects
that
are
in
the
queue
there's
so
much
evolving
with
each
of
these
projects
and
while
the
pace
seems
painfully
slow,
there's
only
one
chance
to
get
this
right
and
I
really
appreciate
folks
grinding
through
when
it
comes
to
procuring
these
projects.
K
All
of
our
non
personal
spending
falls
into
our
commitment
for
the
mayor's
executive
order
on
an
equitable
procurement.
It's
embedded
in
everything
we're
doing.
We
are
working
with
the
Office
of
Economic
Development
to
start
to
host
events
and
selecting
all
of
those
projects,
and
so
so
absolutely
you
know,
trash
removal
is
one
of
those
projects.
We
are
fortunate
enough
to
have
started
a
lot
of
the
work
on
the
procedural
clarification
upon
my
arrival
in
2016.
K
The
core
of
the
executive
order
calls
for
all
of
the
work
that
would
be
required
in
advance
of
a
successful
disparity
study
that
opens
the
path
for
programming
just
to
tip
the
scales
for
businesses
that
are
left
behind.
What
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
is
that,
once
you
have
a
successful
disparity
study
and
set
up
programming
you're
only
covered
for
five
years
every
five
years.
You
need
to
go
back
to
this
state
and
defend
your
program,
adjust
where
your
disparities
are
and
adjust
your
programs
to
keep
up
with
the
progress
that
you're
making.
K
Therefore,
the
BP
da
and
the
city
needs
to
think
about
beyond
the
next
few
cycles,
to
figure
out
how
we
build
an
ecosystem
that
will
allow
us
to
track
and
report
on
this
work
in
new
and
powerful
ways.
We
are
by
the
city
side
on
all
fronts.
Two
weeks
from
now,
I
will
be
heading
to
Atlanta,
to
convene
with
the
living
cities,
inclusive
procurement,
cohort
and
I'm
eager
to
bring
back
ideas
and
energy
from
that
work.
Fy
21
will
be
the
first
year
that
this
work
becomes
very
visible
in
our
budget
before
I
wrap
up.
K
I
would
like
to
let
folks
know
that
on
our
website
is
the
FY
2008
book
each
time
we
come
to
do
these
updates
I
kind
of
wonder
if
these
tables
are
enough,
and
if
this
truly
is
transparency,
but
I
would
say
that
if
you
pick
up
the
budget
book
and
use
that
as
a
compliment
to
build
your
understanding
of
our
financial
operations,
we're
being
more
open
and
transparent
than
ever
before.
In
conclusion,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
entire
finance
team
for
the
ongoing
efforts
to
provide
the
board
in
public
with
this
information.
K
A
special
thank
you
goes
to
Dylan
Darcy
we've
had
some
trouble
with
our
databases
and
changing
in
our
management
practices
resulted
in
some
hiccups
and
Dylan
had
to
do
quite
a
bit
of
manual
work
to
keep
the
trains
running
on
all
of
our
reporting
and
I.
Just
really
appreciate
his
patience
and
attention
to
detail
and
very
tedious
work
with
that.
That's
the
conclusion
of
my
presentation
and
I
O'brien
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank
you
any.
I
A
I,
don't
think
questions
and
that
was
an
informational
update,
I'm
congratulations,
Michelle,
the
entire
Finance
&
Accounting
organization.
It's
really
gratifying
to
kind
of
see
how
far
we've
come
in
how
strong
of
a
foundation
you
guys
have
built
so
that
we
can
get
here
so
kudos.

the

would
be

that

By
date,
certain
this
board
has
graciously
authorized
an
extension
of
that
time
period.
Several
times
in
2017
last
year,
BPA
real

introduced
a
new
business
model
whereby
further
extensions
of
the
ground

term
would
incur
a
financial
fee
in

to
create
a
financial
motivation
for
the

to
act
as
quickly
as
possible.
G
O
Thank
You
Devin,
madam
chairman
members
of
the
board
director
Goldman.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
allowing
us
to
come
before
you
again
to
ask
for
another
extension
on
this.
As
Devin
mentioned
very
complicated
project,
since
we
last
met
made
significant
progress
towards
getting
to
the
goal
line,
we
have
and
we've
shared
all
this
with
BPD
a
staff
we
have
had.
We
have
selected
a
capital
partner,
an
opportunities
own
fund
based
in
New
York,
that
is
working
diligently
through
the
documentation.
O
We
have
a
brand
that
we're
very
excited
about
that
will
incorporate
exciting
public
spaces
and
including
a
museum
that
we
think
will
be
complementary
to
the
museum
exhibit
accelerating
the
the
chain.
Forge
equipment,
that's
part
of
part
of
the
overall
project,
and
since
we
last
met,
we
have
undertaken
several
improvements
to
the
site,
including
new
fencing,
new
cleanup
removal
of
the
several
of
the
outside
dumpsters
and
securing
a
lot
of
the
windows.
So
we
continue
to
work
on
the
project
diligently.
O
It's
a
hundred
and
fifty
million
dollar
project
you'll
involve
federal
and
state
historic
tax
credits,
brownfield
tax
credits,
opportunity
zone
funding
in,
of
course,
a
significant
amount
of
debt,
so
without
making
any
excuses,
we're
grateful
for
more
time
to
get
it
closed.
It's
an
important
project
to
obviously
to
the
Navy
Yard
into
the
city
and
we're
committed
to
making
it
happen.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
If
I
can
thank.
I
O
Up
with
the
holidays,
just
in
terms
of
how
the
dates
fell,
so
we
ended
up
getting
squeezed
there,
given
where
we
are
given
this
extension.
If
it
goes
through
April,
but
that's
and
we
we
were
on
the
phone
with
our
partners
with
staff
the
other
day
that
that's
sufficient
time
to
get
it
done
in
closed
great.
A
A
A
No,
we
just
take
questions
on
these.
Oh
we
just
do
them
all.
Okay,
I
will

The
project
contemplated
42
units,
3,200
square
plus,
scuitto
plus
square
feet
of
ground
floor
retail
and
10
parking
spaces,
including
the
demolition
in

of

397,
Dudley

a
total
renovation
of
375,
385,
Dudley,

and
related
adjacent
connection
to
the
new
constructed

located
at

a
total
renovation
of

of
the
building
located

Six
Hampton

2.4
done
Wall
Street
and
new
construction
of
ten
units
located
at
200,
Hamden
Street.
S
The
team
has
since
reorganized
the
project
by
increasing
the
total
number
of
units
in
this
building
right
here
from
12
to
24.
You
located,
obviously
at
387
397
to
the
street,
while
the
other
two
buildings
in
red
will
be
just
renovated.
I,
don't
know
if
my
development
team,
in
their
architect
or
on
the
orange
line
or
stuck
in
an
elevator,
but
this
is
the
notice
of
project
change.
So
that
completes
my
presentation.
S
I
T
T
We
that
project
serve
proved
to
be
too
expensive
to
finance,
and
so
we
have
scaled
back
the
project,
there's
no
longer
new
construction
happening
on
Hampton
Street
and
we
have
redesigned
the
building
at
387,
397
Dudley,
so
that
it
is
much
more
financially
feasible.
It
has
twice
as
many
units
we
had
started.
It's
now
a
12,
you
nebuilder,
that
is
structurally
quite
unsound,
and
the
original
plan
had
only
adding
12
units.
We
redesigned
and
are
gonna,
be
doing
a
little
bit
of
land
swap
with
the
neighbor
to
be
able
to
create
24
new
units.
T
T
So
at
this
point
the
only
part
of
the
project
that
is
before
the
board
is
the
new
construction
at
387,
397
Dudley,
as
I
said,
was
approved
previously
by
the
board,
and
it
is
a
similar
project
in
terms
of
massing
and
the
relationship
to
the
neighborhood
but
provides
twice
as
many
affordable
housing
units.
Okay,.
T
I
T
So,
there's
actually
retail
on
the
first
floor
of
both
buildings
on
Dudley
Street
and
there's
a
Taylor
just
one
little
retail
space
at
Hampton
Dunmore.
Yes,
we
will
continue
to
have
first
floor.
Commercial
I
had
all
three
sites.
There
will
need
to
be
some
relocation
during
construction
there
in
each
building.
It's
I
could
go
into
it,
but
there's
a
different
level
of
disturbance
in
each
building.
T
Because
of
the
scope
of
work,
we
are
reducing
the
amount
of
commercial
ground
floor
commercial
space
in
the
new
building,
simply
because
it's
not
there's
not
a
lot
of
demand
for
a
retail
space.
In
that
neighborhood
d-md
has
told
us
that
when
they
put
out
RFPs
for
commercial
space
on
Blue
Hill
just
around
the
corner,
they
get
no
response
so
and
we
really
want
to
create
more
housing
units
and
more
fully
accessible
and
easy
to
use
handicap
accessible
units.
T
So
we
will
have
two
residential
units
in
the
rear
and
we'll
have
about
15
commercial
space
in
the
front
so
from
the
streetscape.
It
will
continue
to
be
functional
commercial
space,
but
in
fact
it
will
be
a
little
less
just
because
it's
so
underutilized.
The
businesses
that
are
there
now
often
are
closed.
So
it's
not
very
lively,
so
we
think
if
there's
less,
maybe
we
can
enliven
the
streetscape
great.

U
The
proposed
development
before
you
is
75
Dudley,
181
Dudley
Street
in
Roxbury,
which
is
the
result
of
a
comprehensive
planning
study
for
the
Nubian
square
neighbourhood
plan.
Nubian
is
currently
a
three
year
long
process
that
focuses
on
the
disposition
of
vacant
publicly
owned
land
in
Nubian
square
leveraging
public
assets
to
serve
public
good
throughout
the
entire
process.
U
The
city
has
worked
to
create
and
release
RFPs
that
reflect
community
values
in
principles
such
as
development
without
displacement,
affordability,
levels
that
are
a
third,
a
third,
a
third
diversity
inclusion,
and
not
just
the
development,
but
through
to
those
employed
on
say,
good
job
standards
and
sustainability
goals,
to
name
a
few.
Each
of
the
proposed
developments
that
are
before
you
are
culmination
of
this
process,
moving
from
initial
workshops
in
2016
to
release
of
RFPs
in
2018
to
finally
article
80
and
designation.
U
Today,
Madison
Park
Development
Corporation
proposes
to
construct
a
four-story,
approximately
23,000,
940
square
foot,
income
restricted
condominium
development.
The
project
will
contain
20,
affordable
condom
units,
ground-floor
commercial
space
and
bicycle
storage,
because
the
proposal
does
not
contain
parking
spaces.
Residents
will
have
the
opportunity
to
lease
parking
spaces
from
the
adjacent
to
24:51
Washington
Street
project,
which
is
also
owned
by
Madison
Park
Development
Corporation.
The
small
project
review
application
was
filed
with
the
BPD
a
on
September
27th
2019.
U
A
V
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Sarah
cooter
I'm,
the
director
of
design
with
dream
collaborative
the
architect
for
the
project.
So,
as
ebony
explained,
this
will
be
a
20,
affordable,
ho,
no,
no
mer
home
ownership
units,
potentially
two
retail
jobs.
There's
a
commercial
ground-floor,
one
bike,
storage
room
with
one
to
one
bicycle
accommodation,
so
20,
bicycle
accommodations.
V
The
site
is
right
in
the
center
of
this
right
off
Nubians
square
off
of
the
dudley
bus
station
there
adjacent
to
the
current
under
construction
2451
project
with
Madison
Park
as
well.
So
this
is
a
sister
site,
very
tight
site
that
we're
looking
to
fit
as
many
units
and
as
possible.
You
can
familiarize
yourself
with
local
amenities.
It's
a
very
transit
oriented
site,
which
is
the
objective
of
having
no
onsite
parking
spaces,
some
of
the
existing
conditions.
It's
currently
a
vacant
lot,
some
overgrown
shrub
and
a
little
bit
of
lay
down
for
the
adjacent
construction.
V
This
is
the
site
plan.
Apologies
for
the
contrast
on
that.
But
the
item
to
point
out
here
is
that
it's
shared
exterior
amenity
space
with
the
project.
That's
currently
under
construction
so
that
the
home
ownership
association
can
have
an
outdoor
amenity
space.
The
front
elevation,
which
is
off
of
the
leaf
guild
row
facing
the
park,
is
split
into
a
couple
of
different
massing.
X'
we've
been
before
the
B
PDA
and
had
some
you
know,
discussions
about
the
architecture.
V
The
side
of
the
project
on
going
back
into
the
the
neighborhood
Kenilworth
Street
is
again
divided
in
the
massing,
so
that
it
relates
to
the
existing
context.
There
are
units
all
the
way
down
to
the
ground
floor
at
the
back
of
the
building
here,
adjacent
to
another
Madison
Park
project,
Kenilworth
building.
So
it's
a
very
neighborly,
a
adjacency
I
guess
you
would
say
the
section
of
the
project
there's
a
pretty
significant
cross
slope
on
the
site.
V
So
the
entrance
of
being
shown
here
in
kind
of
a
red
tone
is
a
more
generous
height
space
that
is
adjacent
to
the
building
under
construction
and
then
your
kind
of
standard
floor
Heights
for
the
residential
project
at
the
back,
as
it
goes
towards
the
back.
Here's
the
sort
of
3d
view
again
with
its
sister
project
next
door.
V
So
the
materiality
is
going
to
reflect
that
project
so
that
they
look
of
family,
but
not
identical
to
create
that
variety
that
we're
looking
for
in
kind
of
residential
space
and
a
rendering
of
it
across
from
the
park.
So
the
top
corner
here,
the
I
guess
rightmost
ground-floor
is
a
commercial
space
about
700
square
feet.
Pretty
conservative
space
for
a
nice
office
or
community
partner
to
be
in
the
entrance
of
the
building
again
is
paired
with
the
existing
construction
project
and
I
believe
there's
just
a
rendering
of
it.

feet.
The
proponent
is
also
committing
to
pedestrian
improvements,
as
well
as
site
lighting
to
improve
safety
in
the
neighborhood.
The
product
is
expected
to
create
70
construction
jobs
and
five
permanent
jobs.
No
parking
will
be
associated
with
this
project,
but
it
will
include
47
bike
storage
spots
due
to
its
close
proximity
to
the
massive
ft
station.
W
The
total
development
cost
for
the
product
will
be
24
million
dollars
in
the
project
will
also
need
cell
10
landmarks
approval.
The
proponent
is
seeking
a
new
land
disposition
agreement
and
minor
modification
and
the
creation
of
a
u
district.
For
this
parcel.
The
proposal
is
to
take
what
is
now
parcel
59
and
subdivided
into
two
parcels:
renamed
parcels
59,
a
and
59
B.
The
Northampton
creation
will
enter
into
a
new
l
da
for
possible
59
B,
who
will
be
seeking
Boston
Zoning
Commission
approval
for
the
creation
of
the?
W
U
district,
apostle's
59
a
in
57
will
remain
with
the
New
Castle
project,
which
will
be
undergoing
its
own
renovation
and
preservation.
The
small
project
review
application
was
filed
on
September
6
2019.
Two
public
meetings
were
held
on
October
1st
2019
in
January
9th
2020.
At
this
time,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
the
development
team
to
go
over
their
presentation
in
more
detail,
after
which
we
would
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
Thank
you,
okay,.
X
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
secretary
director
golden
my
name,
is
Ted
Lubitz
on
behalf
of
th.
Our
acquisition
I'd
like
to
present
to
you
a
brief
presentation
on
Northampton
Street
residences.
So,
as
Michael
mentioned,
this
would
be
47
units
of
one
hundred
percent
income,
restricted
housing,
25%
of
those
units
will
be
two
bedrooms
or
greater
will
be
creating
seventy
temporary
construction
jobs
and
two
full-time
jobs.
We
will
have
one
bike:
storage
room
that
will
have
one
for
one
bike:
storage
for
the
residents.
X
The
project
is
also
adjacent
to
the
MBTA
Mass
Ave
T
stop
and
its
abuts
the
southwest
quarter
park.
So
to
give
some
proximity
to
where
it
is
it's
in
the
northern
portion
of
Roxbury.
Also,
as
Michael
mentioned,
it's
in
the
outer
limits
of
the
South
End
Landmark
District,
again
the
Southwest
corridor
running
adjacent
to
the
project
and
the
MBTA
site
located
there
with
massive
just
to
the
north.
This
is
the
site
as
it
currently
exists
today.
It's
an
ancillary
parking
lot
for
council
saranac
housing.
X
It's
a
you
can
see
a
little
bit
there,
but
there
is
a
great
change
which
I'll
mention
later
on,
but
it's
about
five
feet,
difference
from
front
to
back
again
the
current
conditions
at
the
site.
This
is
the
footprint
it's
about
9500
square
feet,
I
as
it
is
in
the
Landmark
District,
and
also
given
its
close
proximity
to
Newcastle
saranac.
We
really
wanted
to
create
some
separation
and
connectivity
to
the
site
as
well.
X
Y
X
Located
at
Newcastle,
it's
just
another
site
plan
of
that
pocket
park
and
also
how
it
connects
into
the
Southwest
corridor.
Some
of
the
pedestrian
improvements
that
Michael
mentioned
are
also
noted
on
here.
This
is
a
rendering
of
that
pocket
park
which
again
provides
access
into
the
Newcastle
building
which
currently
does
not
exist
today.
X
X
You'll
notice,
the
yellow
brick
building
in
the
center
is
Newcastle
Court,
and
so
we've
taken
certain
inspiration
from
that,
including
brick
articulation
that
exists
throughout
the
South,
End
and
Roxbury.
So
this
is
the
rendering
it
will
be
a
brick
building.
That's
actually
the
the
colour
changes
are
actually
from
different
different
depths
of
the
brick,
so
in
certain
areas,
the
for
two
years
about
two
inches
out
to
create
that
sort
of
phasing
and
fading
across
horizontally
a
little
bit
of
a
close-up
of
it
and
that's
the
massing
in
the
context
of
Newcastle.
X
So
it's
five
stories
on
the
right
side:
six
stories
on
the
left,
which
is
very
similar
to
what
Newcastle
is
to
create
that
connectivity
to
it.
Also
of
important,
though
we
are
planning
a
rooftop
amenity
deck
on
the
fifth
floor
portion,
which
will
be
accessible
from
the
sixth
story.
That
concludes
our
presentation.
I've
got
members
of
our
team
here,
including
her
attorney
paula
jeffer
from
pierce
Atwood
and
representatives
of
the
owner
of
newcastle,
saranac,
fenway
housing
and
chocolate
companies.
Okay,.
X
We've
actually
been
meeting
with
t-mac
about
how
to
interface
with
the
park.
So
we
started
those
discussions
about
three
weeks
ago
and
they
have
a
lot
of
ideas.
They
actually
just
renamed
this
whole
section
and
have
a
lot
of
plans
to
reimagine
it
because
right
now
it
really
services
as
a
area
that
people
pass
through
and
not
interact
in
and
use.
So
our
goal
is
really
to
activate
it
and
create
a
street
presence
there
so
that
it's
actually
used
and
not
just
overlooked.
So
at
this
point,
there's
nothing
concretely
planned,
though.
X
So
this
this
is
the
floor
plan
so
again
we're
stepping
back
off
the
park.
There
are
no
entries
on
the
park,
so
that
is
just
the
facade
of
the
building.
The
main
entrance
is
right
here
off
of
Northampton
Street
and
then
the
bike
storage
room
is
here.
These
are
active
bike
lanes
that
come
down
through
here
and
cross
over
into
Saranac
area.
So
it's
important
that
we
keep
those
undisturbed,
but
the
idea
is
to
work
with
PMAC
to
add
uses
here
and
then
there's
also
a
sort
of
it
extends
up
here
to
the
MBTA
station.
A
X
For
a
member
of
ownership
at
Newcastle
saranac
to
address
some
of
that,
but
we
we've
been
part
of
community
meetings
with
the
residents
for
those
properties
and
management
and
ownership
has
conducted
studies
for
use
in
those
Lots.
What
you
can't
see
here
is,
you
can
just
see
the
beginning
of
it,
but
right
down
here
is
another
ancillary
parking
lot,
also
services
both
of
these
properties,
and
so
through
the
parking
study,
it's
been
identified
that
there's
actually
too
much
parking
for
the
demand
from
the
residents
of
the
project.

Z
Bring
for
you
today
is
154
Tara
Street
in
Mission
Hill
neighborhood
of
Boston.
The
project
is
seeking
a
notice
of
project
change,
originally
approved
by
the
board
as
part
of
a
much
larger
project
that
contains
154
164
and
166
Tarin
Street.
The
original
project
was
approved
by
the
board
on
January
26.
The
project
was
later
broken
up,
revised
and
reintroduced
with
phase
one
164
166
Darin
Street
also
noticed
project
change,
gaining
approval
from
the
board
on
July
17
2008,
now
to
the
present
day
project
when
development.
Z
The
proponent
intends
to
complete
this
project
that
it
was
started
14
years
ago
by
leaving
phase
2
150
for
Terran
Street.
The
wind
development
team
will
present
the
change
the
change
project
and
the
details
that
the
detail
changes
since
its
original
approval
in
2006
story,
building
with
664
residential
condominium
units
with
26
parking
spaces,
I
conducted
a
public
meeting
for
the
project
on
December
18
2019,
which
was
advertised
in
the
local
paper.
The
project
also
had
a.
AA
Thank
you.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
back
in
front
of
you.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
presenting
this
project,
so
I've
been
working
on
terrorist
street
for
about
a
year
now
the
project
has
a
rich
history
that
extends
far
back
further
than
that,
but
first
to
orient
you,
if
you
can
see
it's
a
little
faded,
but
154
Terra
Street
is
in
the
Mission.
AA
Currently,
the
project
site
is
overflow
parking
for
phase
one
of
the
development
which
is
Oliver
lofts,
which
one
has
owned
and
managed
for
the
last
several
years
phase.
One
of
the
proposed
phase,
one
was
the
rehabilitation
of
the
proposed
building.
It
was
originally
built
in
1892,
as
the
Highland
Springs
and
during
Prohibition
changed
hands
to
be
a
music
publishing
company
later
to
be
a
pickle
factory
that
created
kosher,
pickles
was
bought
out
by
Hebrew
National
and
then
sat
vacant
starting
in
the
80s
for
a
few
decades.
AA
Up
until
2006,
at
which
point
this
board
approved
the
rehabilitation
of
that
building
and
also
new
construction
left
in
the
parking
lot
for
a
total
of
175,000
gross
square
feet,
175
units
and
about
nine
stories.
Unfortunately,
after
that
approval,
the
real
estate
market
collapsed
and
the
project
was
not
able
to
go
forward
so
being
financially
infeasible.
AA
AA
This
is
phase
one
and
phase
two
phase.
One
of
the
proposed
project
which
is
already
built,
was
completed
in
2011.
It
contains
62
units
of
mixed
income,
housing,
43
of
which
are
income
restricted,
affordable
rental
units.
16
of
them
are
ownership
units
and
three
of
them
are
artists,
live
workspaces.
There
were
also
48
parking
spaces
on
site
when
developed
the
project
and
has
owned
and
managed
the
project
ever
since
and
is
a
proud
member
of
the
community.
L
AA
The
last
few
years
when
development
has
been
out
in
the
community
discussing
phase
2
with
the
neighborhood
and
the
bee
PDA,
and
what
we've
heard
is
two
main
things:
first,
that
the
Mission
Hill
neighborhood
really
wants
to
see
this
as
an
ownership
project
that
they
really
want
an
opportunity
to
buy
into
their
neighborhood
and,
second,
that
those
the
ownership
units,
the
majority
of
them,
should
be
owner
occupied
that
this
really
is
an
opportunity
for
transient
population.
They
really
don't
want
short-term
stays
and
they
really
don't
want
students.
AA
So,
given
this
mandate,
we
went
out
to
try
to
create
a
project
that
fit
that
bill
and,
after
several
design,
iterations
many
conversations
in
the
community
and
countless
meetings
right
here.
On
this
floor,
we
were
able
to
propose
officially
submit
a
notice
of
project
change
on
November
4th
of
last
year,
the
BPD
a
hosted
very
well-run
public
meeting
on
December
18
and
we're
here
today
to
propose
a
project
that
is
significantly
shorter,
smaller
and
has
less
units
than
what
was
originally
opposed
proposed.
AA
But
more
importantly,
it's
a
project
that
the
Mission
Hill
community
has
supported
that
we
feel
like
they
can
buy
into
and
something
that
they're
gonna
appreciate
for
years
to
come.
So
I
want
to
thank
the
missional
community
for
being
an
active
partner
throughout
this
process,
and
I
would
like
to
pass
it
off
while
showing
you
the
previously
approved
project,
I'd
like
to
introduce
Jeff
from
the
architectural
team
to
go
over
two
designs.
P
Thank
you
again.
Jeff
sorry
from
the
architectural
team
were
the
architect
on
this
project.
The
art
design
response
to
a
perceived
horizontality
within
the
historic
building.
We've
responded
to
that
by
creating
these
horizontal
bands
undulating
throughout
the
floor,
to
draw
your
eye
through
the
historic
building
into
the
new
construction.
AA
As
we
mentioned,
the
first
phase
was
about
69%,
affordable
with
about
26%
of
the
units
converted
to
ownership.
The
second
phase
has
three
affordable
units,
so
for
total,
the
two
phases
combined
are
about
37%
affordable,
but
yet
we
still
wanted
both
phases
to
comply
with
IDP
separately.
So
in
order
to
do
that,
we
also
proposed,
and
the
BPA
accepted
the
fact
that
we'd
contribute
for
the
additional
six
minutes
that
would
bring
our
project
up
to
13%.
P
Columbus
Avenue,
you
can
see
our
horizontal
bands
continue
over
breaking
up
as
the
second
half
of
these
worth
building
breaks
up
the
regularity
of
the
first
look
north.
You
can
see
it
where
the
idea
was
inspired
through
from
the
banding
here
and
it's
a
good
illustration
of
how
the
old
connects
with
the
new
drawing
your
eye
through
both
not
mimicking
either
but
being
its
own,
while
respecting
the
other
through
Terrace
tree.
P
Our
first
floor
is
set
back
to
create
a
7-foot
sidewalk,
there's
a
canopy
centrally
located
over
the
entrance
for
wayfinding
purposes
and
shoulder
height
windows
to
express
activity
from
the
interior
and
the
exterior.
The
setback
also
gives
an
opportunity
for
down
lighting
to
create
a
brighter
Street
for
pedestrians.
I
From
the
board,
I
have
a
question
given
the
mission
Hill
is,
after
our
vote,
going
to
be
owed.
Basically
41
units
of
affordable
housing.
Are
there
currently
any
outstanding
units
that
are
supposed
to
be
being
built
in
Mission
Hill
already
that
missional
is
waiting
for
Tim?
Do
you
know
what
I
mean?
Is
there
already
a
back
load
of
affordable
units
that
Mission
Hill
is
waiting
for,
or
will
this
be
the
only
group
that
Mission
Hill
is
waiting
for
I?
Guess
that's
my
question.
O
R
Funds
can
be
used
anywhere
citywide.
However,
there
is
Michigan.
Hs
does
have
a
pipeline
of
a
couple
of
projects
just
down
the
street
closer
to
the
Roxbury
crossing
T
stop
I'm,
including
one
that
is
home
ownership,
which
they
have
not
brought
to
us
yet,
but
is
part
of
a
plan.
That's
already
been
agreed
upon
that.
We
would
that
the
city
is
interested
in
funding
that
part
of
the
project,
and
that
would
be
home
ownership
units
I.
I
R
I
R
F
F
Any
conversation
with
them
about
potential
development
plans
for
that
site
and
then
east
on
Tara
Street,
there's
also
the
empty
site
that
goes
up
the
hill.
That
was
at
some
point
slated
for
development
is.
Is
there
any
knowledge
of
what's
going
to
happen
to
that
site
in
relation
to
what's
happening
here
and
then?
Finally,
just
in
a
sense
of
context
to
the
West.
AB
Thank
You
mr.
Landsberg
attorney
Joe
Hanley
for
wind
development
I
also
happen
to
represent
Sebastian
Marisol,
who
was
designated
by
D&D
to
develop
that
there
a
steep
graded
site
that
backs
up
on
Parker
Street,
and
that
was
a
project
that
enjoyed
enormous
community
support,
has
pretty
robust
affordability
and
a
really
interesting
design
like
open
space
and
had
is
slated
and
permitted
at
this
point
as
well.
AB
AC
AD
AB
The
thing
we're
most
proud
of
too
is
that
you
know
we
worked
with
the
community
with
overwhelming
support
to
bring
really
the
largest
scale
of
homeownership
in
Mission
Hill,
which,
as
you
know,
has
a
real
disparity
of
rental
units
and
a
lack
of
homeownership,
and
surprisingly,
it
looks
like
taro
street
is
the
beginning
of
that
location.
For
that.
Thank
you.

As
you
will
hear
shortly
from
the
development
team,
the
co
living
model
presented
in
the
common
albright
project
has
been
thoughtfully
created
to
provide
an
innovative
and
cost-effective
alternative
to
the
existing
housing
stock
available
in
the
Austin,
neighborhood
and
city
of
Boston
as
a
whole.
The
proposed
project
calls
for
a
six
story:
approximately
125,000
100,
seventy-five
gross
square-foot
residential
building,
contemplated
to
include
approximately
278
bedrooms
and
80
rental
units.
AE
The
proponent
has
committed
to
providing
20%
of
the
total
units
in
the
project
as
inclusionary
development
policy
units,
which
will
provide
approximately
48
income
restricted
bedrooms.
In
addition
to
exceeding
the
requirements
of
the
inclusionary
development
policy.
The
proposed
project
will
also
provide
a
number
of
substantial
benefits
to
the
immediate
area
and
neighborhood
around
the
project
site.
Approximately
1,250
square
feet
of
ground
floor,
flexible
community
space
will
be
available,
free
of
charge
to
local
community
groups
and
members
for
events
and
activities,
ranging
from
community
meetings
to
artists
workspace
to
neighborhood
holiday
markets.
AE
A
number
of
transportation
benefits
will
also
be
provided,
including
a
ten
thousand
dollar
contribution
to
improvements
coming
out
of
the
Austin
bright
mobility
study,
the
sponsorship
and
installation
of
a
blue
bike
station
in
or
near
the
project
site,
a
$20
monthly
transit
subsidy
for
all
residents.
On-Site
shared
electric
vehicles
in
a
parking
utilization
assessment
18
months
after
building
opening
the
pedestrian
experience,
safety
will
be
greatly
improved
to
public
realm
improvements
along
Lincoln
Street
in
Cambridge
Street,
as
well
as
new
crosswalks,
and
curb
improvements
at
Cambridge,
Street
and
Empire
Street.
The
project
site
abuts.
AE
What
is
known
as
the
Lincoln
Street
green
strip
and
the
proponent
has
been
committed
throughout
the
process
to
improvements
in
support
of
the
green
area.
Specifically,
the
proponent
will
make
a
$10,000
contribution
towards
the
master
plan
and
design
efforts
for
improvements
to
the
green
strip,
which
will
be
further
supported
by
$25,000
contribution
towards
the
implementation
of
such
improvements.
Further,
the
proponent
will
be
entering
into
a
license
agreement
with
the
city
of
Boston
Public,
Works
Department
for
the
maintenance
of
the
green
strip
throughout
the
life
of
the
proposed
project.
AE
In
closing
and
before
introducing
Benjamin
mol
project
opponent,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
members
of
the
impact
Advisory
Group,
who
collaborated
with
the
BPD,
a
through
the
through
the
article
80
review
process
for
the
common
Albright
project.
Their
feedback
was
hugely
valuable
to
the
process
and
the
project,
and
we
thank
them
for
their
time
and
efforts
with
that
I
will
hand
it
over
to
Benjamin
mol.
Both
the
development
team
and
BPD
a
staff
will
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
the
board
may
have.
Thank
you.
F
AF
Well
done,
as
I
said,
my
name
is
Benji.
Moll
I
am
one
of
the
principals
of
Arc's
urban
one
of
the
proponents
of
the
this
project
here
tonight
with
Andrew
Koppel
Eddie
from
Boylston
properties,
our
joint
venture
partner,
as
well
as
Paul
Ruffo,
our
attorney
and
hon
stroke.
Our
architect.
If
you
have
any
questions
on
that
front,
this
project
adds
80
units
of
high
density,
shared
Suites,
that
we
call
co-living
and
we
started
this
project
about
two
years
ago.
We
went
to
the
community
and
we
said
what
should
we
do
here?
AF
This
is
as
blank
site
and
we
had
an
open
house
and
we
got
about
50%
renters,
50%
homeowners
and
we
had
a
blank
site
and
the
three
things
that
we
heard
was.
We
want
the
project
to
be
affordable
to
folks
in
the
community.
We
want
to
dramatically
improve
the
pedestrian
experience,
because
the
site
is
currently
a
surface
parking
lot
with
three
sides
of
streets,
and
the
third
thing
that
we
heard
was.
We
want
to
do
something
interesting
from
a
transportation
standpoint
and
thinking
about
how
to
be
progressive
when
it
comes
to
transportation.
AF
So
a
little
bit
more
about
the
site
here,
as
you
can
see,
this
site
is
at
the
intersection
of
Cambridge,
Street
and
Lincoln.
Street
is
currently
a
surface
parking
lot.
Many
of
you
might
know
the
mural
across
the
street.
Many
people
frequently
use
Lincoln
Street
as
it
cut
through,
but
if
you
drive
over
the
Cambridge
Street
bridge
over
the
pike,
the
site
is
on
the
right
and
there's
roughly
an
18-foot
grade
change
from
the
highest
point
to
the
lowest
point.
AF
So
when
we
were
thinking
about
the
site
again,
one
of
the
most
important
things
was
to
improve
the
pedestrian
experience
at
as
much
green
space
as
humanly
possible
and
really
to
activate
what
is
a
tundra
right
now
to
walk
through.
So,
as
you
can
see,
on
our
site,
plan
of
the
ground
floor
on
the
right
side
of
the
site
is
amenity
space
with
a
parking
lot.
AF
So
here
you
can
view
the
building
from
Lincoln
Street.
You
can
see.
We've
really
worked
hard
to
do,
make
the
pedestrian
experience
friendly
and
to
make
the
building
transparent
and
activate
the
streetscape.
At
the
ground
floor.
You
can
see
here
where
we're
adding
a
large
blue
bike
station,
a
part
of
our
transportation
plan,
as
well
as
the
the
the
entrance
on
Lincoln
Street.
There
are
two
entrances
to
the
building.
AF
AF
A
design
staff
was
that
we
wanted
to
break
the
building
up
into
three
distinct
parts,
and
this
this
entrance
on
Cambridge
Street
really
does
that
and
you
can
see
here
what
kind
of
three
distinct
parts
at
the
top
of
the
Cambridge
Street
Bridge,
the
middle
section,
which
is
made
up
primarily
of
brick,
facade
and
then
the
part
that
serves
the
entrance
on
Lincoln
Street
at
the
end,
so
again
getting
back
to
the
pedestrian
experience.
This
is
now
what
Cambridge
Street
will
look
like.
AF
There
will
be
eight-foot
sidewalks
with
another
three-foot
way
for
the
public
street
public
trees,
and
we
think
that
this
is
a
drastic
improvement
from
the
current
streetscape.
So
again,
here's
a
view
from
Lincoln
Street
you
can.
You
can
see
the
community
space
and
the
public
garden
that
will
be
created
as
part
of
this
that
which
will
tie
into
the
Lincoln
green
strip
at
the
end
of
the
site,
and
then
here
is
just
a
view
of
the
community
space
which
will
be
utilized
for
free
from
many
members
of
the
community.
AF
So
here's
one
more
view
of
the
project
and
then
just
quick
quickly
on
what
co-living
is
I
know.
There's
been
a
few
other
co
Living
projects
that
have
been
presented
to
the
board,
but
it's
high
density,
shared
Suites
individuals
will
rent
private
bedrooms,
mainly
with
their
own
ensuite
bathrooms,
and
the
units
will
come
furnished.
The
goal
is
to
remove
as
much
tenant
frisson
as
humanly
possible
so
that
you
can
provide
both
a
lower-cost
alternative
to
other
Class
A
buildings
studios
and
and
to
provide
a
new
type
of
housing
that
that
is
is
truly
naturally
occurring.
AF
AE
Madam
chair
I
would
like
to
note
that
within
the
last
few
minutes
we
did
electronically
receive
a
letter
from
District
City
Council
is
Breeden
as
well
commending
the
development
team
for
their
innovative
thinking
and
their
community
outreach
here.
So
I
apologize.
It's
not
in
the
package
in
front
of
you,
but
we
will
ensure
it
gets
into
the
final
product.
I
AF
So
the
IDP
units
will
be
starting
in
the
$800
unit
range.
The
middle
income
units
will
be
just
over
$1,000,
a
square
foot
and
then
the
market
units
we
anticipate
will
be
starting
between
fifteen
and
sixteen
hundred
keep
in
mind.
That
includes
all
utilities
calming
at
common
area
cleaning
and
it's
a
Class
A
building.
So
we
we
view
that
it's
somewhere
between
twenty
to
thirty
percent
below
there,
the
rent
of
studios
and
nearby
Class
A
buildings.
F
AF
AG
A
AF
AF
Sure
so
Co
living
in
Co
living
has
kind
of
grown
as
a
phenomenon
over
the
past
five
years
as
a
result
of
the
affordability
housing
crisis
across
the
country,
roughly
there's
roughly
15,000
co-living
beds
right
now
across
the
country
with
about
98%,
occupancy
plus
or
minus,
and
five
to
ten
thousand
applications
for
this
type
of
housing.
Essentially,
what
it
is
is
it's
our
building
is
comprised
man.
We
have
three
and
four
bedroom
suites
with
two
or
three
bedrooms,
so
mainly
ensuite
bathrooms.
AF
Tenants
who
would
like
to
live
here
will
sign
a
lease
for
a
bedroom
and
a
bathroom
and
then
share
the
common
area
and
amenity
space
with
two
or
three
other
people.
Now
the
goal
in
operating
this
stuff
is
to
ensure
that
you
have
as
little
tenant
frisson
as
possible
because
there's
a
lot
of
problems
historically
with
roommate
living,
whether
someone's
clean,
whether
you
don't
like
someone's
furniture,
their
guests
stuff,
like
that.
AF
So
the
way
that
we
intend
to
operate
at
this
we're
partnering
with
a
company
that
is
the
largest
co
living
operator
in
the
country
and
they
basically
have
it
down
to
a
science
whereby,
if
you
don't
like
your
roommates
you're
allowed
to
move
within
a
certain
period
of
time
within
the
building
at
no
cost,
there's
no
brokerage
fees
associated
with
coming
to
the
building.
So
the
whole
goal
is
to
bring
down
the
cost
of
living,
and
it's
something
that
we're
hopeful
will
bring.
AF
Many
of
the
young
folks
who
are
teaming
up
in
the
triple
Decker's
and
JP
and
Austin
and
Brighton
into
a
purpose-built
building
for
that
type
of
living,
where
they're
monitored,
where
there's
security,
where
their
staff
who
are
overseeing
that
type
of
living,
but
at
the
same
time
improving
that
experience.
So
everything
is
driven
through
a
technology
platform
as
well.
So,
instead
of
paying
what
you're
renting
and
paying
one
roommate
to
pay
all
the
utilities,
everything
is
paid
in
one
bill
and
taken
care
of
by
the
management
company.
So.
AF
Potentially
what
could
be
a
family
that
lived
in
a
three-bedroom
unit
in
Brighton
that
they
would
move
to
our
building
and
then
from
that
get
a
sense
of
community
in
either.
Hopefully
because
it's
a
lower
rent
in
price
point
than
they
would
otherwise
save
enough
money
to
buy
a
home
or
to
move
into
upgrade
into
a
studio
or
a
one-bedroom
unit
elsewhere.
But
I
think
just
in
terms
of
if
you
look
across
the
country
at
the
data.
There's
so
much
demand
for
this
product
type
and
the
average
age
is
28
to
29.
F
We're
talking
people
who
are
probably
somewhere
post
graduate
school
but
pre
whatever
the
next
thing
is
in
their
lives
and
I,
just
think
about
neighborhoods
in
and
around
Boston,
where
those
kinds
of
populations
have
settled.
Somerville
was
that
for
Cambridge
for
many
years,
for
example,
and
and
if
this
becomes
that,
how
does
the
community
then
re-engage
with
this
process?
I
mean
I,
don't
want
to
discourage
innovation.
I
mean
I,
think
that
this
is
a
very
thoughtful
innovation,
a
direction
to
take,
but
but
at
this
level
may
I
know
you've
interacted
with
the
community.
F
AE
Just
from
the
BPD
s
perspective
and
through
the
article
80
process,
mr.
Lanz
mark
I
think
a
lot
of
what
we
heard
was
that
these
people
are
already
living
in
the
neighborhood.
These
types
of
this
generation
is
already
existing
in
the
neighborhood
and
units
such
as
Carol
referenced
earlier
across
the
city.
So
I
think
folks
were
really
pleased
with
this
innovative
proposal.
They
see
this
as
something
that
a
lot
of
young
people
would
like
to
live
in
being
a
young
person
myself,
it's
something
that's
attractive,
so
I
think
with
that
respect.
AE
This
is
a
place
that
will
fun
will
be
a
home
for
people
that
are
ready
in
the
neighborhoods.
In
addition,
I
think
the
ground-floor
community
space
will
be
highly
utilized.
It's
something
the
community
was
very
excited
about.
There
are
a
lot
of
very
active
community
members
that
engaged
in
the
article
ad
process,
so
I
do
feel
and
again
I
think
it's
a
good
reflection
of
the
development
team.
AE
I
think
a
lot
of
those
members
would
have
no
problem
if
there
were
issues
picking
up
the
phone
and
calling
one
of
the
development
team
if
they
had
any
concerns
or
anything
like
that.
If
that's
what
your
question
is
getting
at,
but
I
do
think
that
it
was
a
good
process.
I
think
the
community
has
a
lot
of
trust
in
the
development
team
and
in
the
product
they're
trying
to
provide
so
I
thought
that
was
definitely
echoed
to
the
BPD
a
through
our
review
process.
AF
One
other
thing
as
well:
the
building
is
also
built
so
that
at
some
point
in
50
years,
right
we've
seen
waves
of
how
lodging
houses
and
Nessarose
and
everything
have
been
used.
This
building
could
theoretically
be
converted
into
family-style
housing.
It
could
be
converted
back
into
traditional
apartments
right
in
in
the
sense
with
with
with
minor
investment.
So
that's
something
that
we've
certainly
thought
about
and
when
we're
building
the
building,
we
are
doing
it
in
such
a
way
that,
if,
for
some
reason
that
happens,
we'll
be
able
to
do
that.
R
AH
Just
quickly
a
Paul
Ruffo
attorney
for
the
project.
Mr.
director,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
on
the
legal
point
to
address
we'll
call
it
the
bad
apple
problem,
I
think
which
you've
addressed
mr.
Lanz
mark
the
advantage,
I
would
say
from
a
legal
point
of
view,
are
the
separate
leases
so
the
end
the
active
management.
AH
So
given
the
number
of
managers
and
I
won't
say
that
other
residents
will
turn
people
in,
but
they'll
be
able
to
identify
the
individuals
involved
here
and
the
eviction
process
or
the
the
the
enforcement
of
the
lease
provisions
which
I
haven't
seen
the
lease
but
I'm
sure
they'll,
be
strict
in
terms
of
code
of
conduct,
etc.
The
ability
to
identify
and
to
take
individual
action
through
the
lease
provisions
would
actually
be
easier
than
it
seems
to
me
than
bringing
an
action
against
people
living
in
a
four
bedroom
or
bedroom,
etc.
AH
So
we
don't
know
your
rate,
you
raise
a
good
point.
They
certainly
I've
thought
about
it,
and
the
management
company
has
thought
about
it
and
had
different
experiences
in
other
major
cities
across
across
the
United
States.
But
I
just
wanted
to
I
heard
legal
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
address
that,
hopefully,
that
it'd
be
a
tool
that
they
could
use
with
laser-like
focus
against
folks
who
are
not
conforming
to
the
provisions
of
the
lease.
Thank
you
for
that.
AF
Like
is
that
happening
roughly
about
twenty
percent
of
these
buildings
across
the
country
are
made
up
of
folks,
I
believe
age,
40
and
above
so
there
definitely
are
folks
who
are
it's
having
integer
intergenerational
style,
living
and
I.
Think
that's
something
that
we're
looking
forward
to
exploring
and
hopefully
kind
of
vetting
further
for
future
projects,
but
we
we
have
heard
from
so
many
folks
in
the
community
who
are
older
Wow.
Can
you
do
this
just
for
the
older
community?
That
sounds
like
something
that
I
would
really
be
interested
in
great.
A
AI
Certainly
is
here
so
counselor
Bach.
AJ
AJ
I
just
wanted
to
come
up
here
and
say
that
I've
been
really
impressed
coming
in
at
the
last
minute
by
the
immense
amount
of
work
that
this
project
has
done
over
the
last
two
years,
with
the
many
stakeholders
in
the
community
that
I
represent
so
I'll
leave
it
to
the
to
the
BPD
a-team
to
explain
more
of
the
details.
But
this
is
a
project.
That's
undergone
substantial
transformation
on
the
basis
of
conversations
with
lots
of
members
of
the
community
and
I
think
where
we've
come
out,
the
other
side
is
a
project.
AJ
That's
you
know,
providing
critical
housing
density
at
a
time
when
we
really
need
it.
That's
providing
IDP
units
on
site
which
is
really
important.
That,
additionally,
is
providing
some
middle-income
units
that
aren't
competing
with
those
IDP
sort
of
standard,
70
%,
ami
ones,
but
add-on
for
a
really
critical
need
that
the
Fenway
neighborhood
feels
to
have
middle-income
family
units
available
and
just
in
general,
the
format
of
the
housing
is
designed
to
have
some
more
housing
stock
available
at
that
middle
income
level.
AJ
That
gives
me
comfort
as
a
counselor,
so
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
support
and
and
to
commend
the
proponents
on
their
long
work
with
the
community
on
this
front
and
also
to
say
that
I
think
I
and
many
members
of
the
community.
You
know
recognize
that
it's
going
to
be
an
ongoing
process,
both
the
lease
up
of
this
building
and
some
of
the
other
sites
that
the
proponents
are
looking
at.
Working
on
down
the
board
down
the
road.
AJ
Definitely
one
other
sort
of
issue
has
been
the
question
of
unit
mix,
and
there
is
this
desire
to
have
more
family
units
in
the
Fenway
and
this
this
is
disproportionately
studios.
This
building
you're
gonna,
hear
about
but
I
think
I
think
that
it
is
going
to
fill
an
important
role
and
that
we're
gonna
continue
to
have
that
conversation
about
increased
family
housing
in
the
neighborhood
as
we
go
forward.
So
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
support
and-
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
Yeah.

himself

brief
presentation
on
the

and
we'll
be
happy

questions

AK
First
and
foremost,
I
just
wanna
say
thank
you.
The
director
Adam
chair,
Madam
Secretary,
in
particular
the
BPD,
a
staff.
You
know
Tim
and
his
team
have
been
great
partners
throughout
this
two-and-a-half
year
process.
Throughout
the
process
we
have
sincerely
sought
to
foster
and
cultivate
a
spirit
of
stakeholder
alignment
and
engagement.
AK
I
think
we're
all
very
proud
to
say
that
we
have
a
breadth
and
depth
of
support
from
different
facets
of
the
community,
most
importantly
in
the
project,
we're
very
proud
to
partner
with
the
theater
offensive
who's
here
with
us
tonight,
to
really
preserve
the
heritage
in
the
winny
age
of
the
LGBTQ
community
on
the
site.
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
our
architect,
Chris
Anderson
from
Gensler
project.
AG
AG
This
is
just
a
slide
that
illustrates
the
sort
of
steps
that
it
took
to
get
to
that
point.
You
know
if
you
start
with
a
simple
block
and
you
and
you
carve
out
a
terrace
and
you
break
up
the
forms
to
sort
of
become
more
manageable.
You
be
able
to
move
those
and
step
them
down
to
the
east
and
it
can
set
them
down
to
the
south.
AG
AG
And
through
this
process
we
were
able
to
sort
of
substantially
make
adjustments
to
the
master
of
the
building.
I'll
be
brief,
but
in
essence
the
all
the
masses
on
the
Boylston
side
have
dropped
13
feet
since
the
EPF
and
on
the
south
side,
the
the
Southwest
Tower
dropped,
30
feet
and
actually
came
in
bored
away
from
its
neighborhood
12
feet
from
its
neighbor
12
feet,
and
then
it
came
north,
which
is
away
from
the
alley
eight
feet
and
the
same
holds
for
the
smaller
Tower
to
the
southeast.
AG
AG
AG
And
we've
also
worked
hard
to
make
sure
that
it's
going
to
work
with
the
future
plans
of
the
boylston
corridor.
You
know
we're
gonna
have
to
cycle
tracks,
but
with
the
north
and
south
side
of
the
street,
once
the
street
gets
realigned,
we'll
have
two-way
traffic
going
in
both
directions
that
will
still
allow
for
a
dedicated,
drop-off
and
parking
spots
in
front
of
this
property.
AG
Again,
a
lot
of
time
and
efforts
been
spent
on
the
sort
of
streetscape
and
the
pedestrian
experience
of
the
sort
of
pocket
park.
You
can
see
on
the
northeast
corner
and,
of
course,
the
vibrancy
of
the
Boylston
black
box
and
the
residential
entry
here
with
some
seating
that
we've
added
in
the
last
round-
and
this
just
has
some
details
of
the
black
box
theater
itself.
AG
As
Tim
had
mentioned,
it's
been
expanded
to
be
150,
some
seats,
roughly
10,000
square
feet
with
three
levels
and
within
this
theater
it
also
has
a
community
space
and
flex
space
as
well,
and
we're
very
excited
about
this.
This
is
going
to
be
a
big
asset
for
the
larger
community
and
we
just
can't
wait
to
get
it
started.
Thank
you.
F
F
F
In
Boston
and
you're
doing
it
in
a
community,
that's
obviously
very
engaged,
I
mean
many
of
the
letters
that
we
saw
asked
why
you
weren't
also
developing
a
childcare
center
and
a
health
center
and
a
neighborhood
center
and
you're.
Only
developing
one
building
I
understand
that
that
is
primarily
housing.
F
So
I
commend
you
for
that,
and
also
I
commend
you
for
incorporating,
with
into
this
space
a
cultural
youth
space,
which
is
something
we'd
like
to
see
in
a
lot
more
of
our
developments
and
I
think
this
is
a
great
neighborhood
to
do
it,
particularly
with
the
Boston
Conservatory
space
kind
of
right
around
the
corner
and
Berkeley
just
down
the
street.
The
question
has
been
raised
as
to
how
this
will
be
managed
so
that
it
doesn't
become
dormitory
space.
AK
AK
With
regards
to
the
concern
you
raised,
you
know:
I've
worked
closely
with
councilor
bar
Bach
over
the
past
week
to
address
the
concerns
and
we've
committed
to
is
an
actively
sub
process
where
we're
gonna
engage
all
channels
of
the
leasing
market.
Every
you
know,
I've
had
a
number
of
working
sessions
with
different
employers,
different
focus
groups.
We
met
with
age-friendly
Boston
to
really
understand
how
we
can
engage
all
of
those
different
leasing,
channels
from
jobs
fairs
to
housing
fairs
at
different
senior
centers
around
the
neighborhood
and
so
I
think
you
know.
AK
I
will
I
certainly
intend
to
continue
to
work
closely
with
the
counselor
over
the
next
two
years
of
construction
and
through
well
Lisa
to
ensure
that
we
really
have
a
building
that
addresses
and
that
attracts
a
broad
spectrum
of
the
housing
market.
You
know,
furthermore,
with
we've
agreed
to
adhere
to
a
25%
restriction.
You
can
manage
to
that
type,
that
level
of
concentration,
so
I
think
that
will
be
our
barometer
that
we
work
towards,
and
you
know
otherwise
going
forward.
A
Yeah
I
just
I,
wanted
to
also
comment
and
that
it
was
nice
in
the
in
the
letters
that
we
did
receive
to
hear
that
you
proactively
reached
out
to
the
bus
and
Arts
Academy
in
different
ways
to
to
sponsor,
to
you,
know,
engage
with
them
and
their
and
their
students
and
I
think
what
you
have.
There
is
there's
a
lot
of
synergies
there.
So
so
thank
you
for
that
as
well.
AK
A
Then
I
think
just
in
a
general
comment.
I
also
appreciate
your
your
your
balance
of
the
multiple
stakeholders
that
you
have
here.
You
know,
and
particularly
recognizing
that
you
know
the
students
of
our
city,
our
stakeholder
in
our
city
as
well,
and
you
know
I
do
want
to
you
know
we
are
cognizant
of
that
and
and
just
want
to
also
keep
that
in
mind.
So
so
I
appreciate
that
there's
a
measured
approach
to
being
inclusive
to
your
students
as
well
any
other
questions
from
the
board.

before
you
today
is
235
Old
Colony,
also
known
as
Washington
Village,
originally
approved
by
the
board
on
August
11
2016.
AJ
Z
Project
is
located
in
the
plant
South
Boston
Dorchester
have
area
an
area
of
South
Boston
that
went
through
a
two-year
planning
process
that
involved
the
community,
as
well
as
our
own
planning
staff.
On
October
1st
2019
I
received
a
notice
of
project
change
request
from
the
proponents
of
235
Old
Colony.
The
proponents
proposed
certain
design
changes
to
the
original
board
approved
project.
I
will
allow
the
Washington
village
development
team
to
elaborate
on
these
changes
in
the
presentation.
Z
Overall,
the
NPC
which
amends
the
planned
development
area,
PDA
number
106
merges
building
a
and
B
the
new
building.
Building
a
slash
B
will
contain
214
residential
units,
which
is
an
increase
of
90
residential
units
for
this
project
phase.
One,
if
approved
the
NPC,
would
again
amend
the
PDA
increasing
the
overall
unit
count
from
265
units
to
749
units.
We
met
with
the
impact
advisory
group
on
Monday
November
4th
2019
in
the
community
by
public
meeting
on
November
18
2019.
The
comic
period
ended
on
December,
2nd
2019.

AB
Thank
You
Stephen
good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
Madam
Secretary
director
golden
attorney,
Joe
Han,
Lee,
McDermott,
Colton,
Miller
I
had
the
pleasure
of
representing
the
initial
development
team
back
in
2016
when
the
board
approved
this
overall
project
and
now
I
have
the
pleasure
of
being
here
with
a
new
development
team
which
I'd
like
to
introduce
to
you.
Give
you
a
brief
overview
and
then
ask
our
architect
to
take
you
through
the
presentation,
but
before.
AE
AB
Would
like
to
thank
the
DPD,
a
senior
staff,
Jon
Greely
and
my
Christopher,
who
helped
Shepherd
us
through
this
notice
of
project
change,
as
well
as
urban
planning
and
Stephen,
who
has
been
invaluable
and
very
helpful
in
this
process
for
the
notice
of
project
change.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
impact
advisory
group
for
their
continued
involvement
and
support
the
South
Boston
elected
delegation,
the
inter
square
Civic
Association.
AB
The
new
development
team
is
a
partnership
between
core
investments.
Dave
polgár
routes
in
Tim
Mackay
were
with
us
who
are
the
original
proponents
and
Samuelson
associates
Peter,
sugary,
teas
and
Mike
Fitzpatrick.
Who
also
gave
you
through
the
presentation?
It's
really
a
bit
of
a
dream:
team
combination,
bus
and
for
this
part
of
South
Boston
we
started.
We
came
to
you
in
2016.
We
were
just
a
little
bit
before
the
beginning
of
the
planning
study
and
we
took
a
look
at
a
five
acre
site
that
was
distressed
and
formally
industrial
site.
That
was
not
contributing.
AB
That
would
cater
to
working-class
folks
that
make
a
little
bit
too
much
to
qualify
for
current
IDP,
but
not
enough
to
get
conforming
mortgages,
which
is
a
real
issue,
particularly
in
South
Boston,
and
so
what
we're
here
with
is
some
changes
that
reflect
some.
You
know
where
the
market
is
now,
but
also
complement
and
work
better
with
the
planning
study,
but
stay
true
to
all
of
the
obligations,
commitments
and
Community
Partnership
for
the
overall
project.
AB
A
AL
AL
In
terms
of
the
overall
context
of
that
map,
you
saw
the
da
Dave
study
we're
at
the
very
sort
of
like
eastern
edge
and
up
against
the
this
neighborhood
current
conditions.
The
site
has
been
cleared
in
the
intervening
years
since
the
approval,
so
it's
really
ready
to
go.
This
is
a
highlight
of
the
changes
and
I
would
say
that
from
a
programmatic
standpoint,
we
had
some
second
floor
retail,
that
for
feasibility
reasons,
we've
converted
from
retail
to
res
Dental,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons
the
number
of
units
has
increased.
AA
AL
To
the
sort
of
the
meat
of
the
matter,
this
is
the
original
master
plan
for
the
entire
site.
The
reason
we've
put
the
dot
dotted
line
around
it
is
this
is
the
only
component
of
that
master
plan
that
has
changed
and
I
think
you
can
get
a
sense
that
were
two
buildings
and
sort
of
an
interior
courtyard.
AL
That
was
the
public
realm
and
that
has
been
revised
where
we
brought
that
public
park
actually
out
to
the
street
so
that
it's
more
accessible
to
the
overall
neighborhood
and
in
this
earlier
scheme
there
was
no
parking
that
was
associated
with
these
buildings
on
the
site.
They
were
all
parking
in
an
above-ground
garage
in
this
location.
We
have
moved
50
parking
spaces
to
be
internal
to
this
new
building.
AL
We
also
used
this
opportunity
to
catch
up
with
the
dot
F
study
and
have
expanded
the
setbacks
along
damrell,
Street
and
Old
Colony,
and
on
Dorchester
Street
to
be
in
compliance
and
allow
for
some
of
the
long-range
planning
that
the
that
came
out
of
the
study.
Very
briefly,
at
the
upper
level
again,
the
two
buildings
have
combined
combined
into
one
and
which
has
created
a
above
that
parking
area.
A
second
level
raised
courtyard
and
amenity
level
for
the
residents
in
terms
of
a
first
phase.
AL
AL
G
AL
Just
sort
of
walking
around
from
the
neighborhood
perspective
before
a
six
story,
building
here
on
the
corner
of
Dorchester
Street
and
Old
Colony
same
six
stories
here,
stepping
up
to
seven
further
into
the
site.
This
is
a
view
of
the
new
building
with
its
ground-floor
retail,
which
run
will
run
all
the
way
around
the
perimeter
of
this
new
park.
AL
The
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
scale.
The
green
area
that's
depicted
here
is
approximately
the
size
of
the
green
area.
That's
in
post
office,
Square
Park
I
mean
obviously
that's
surrounded
by
parking
ramps
and
many
other
sort
of
interventions.
We
actually
have
25
foot
wide
sidewalks
here,
where
we
view
these
to
be
probably
restaurants
and
cafes
that
can
spill
out
adjacent
to
the
park.
Also,
along
this
new
street,
we
have
the
ability
to
bring
food
trucks
and
to
actually
hold
community
events.
AL
I
can
tell
you
that,
in
the
public
meetings
that
we've
had
and
with
our
IRG,
we
got
great
feedback
about
how
bringing
it
out
to
the
street
makes
it
feel
like
there's
more
eyes
on
the
park,
that
it's
much
more
of
a
public
space.
In
terms
of
being
open
to
the
community,
whereas
before
it
might
have
felt
a
little
bit
more
like
an
internal
cloister,
so
we
got
some
great
feedback
there.
AC
F
A
AD
A
AC
A
AM
A
Thank
you,
okay.
Is
there
anyone
else
who
would
like
to
speak
in
support
of
this
proposal?
Okay,
do
we
have
anyone
in
the
audience
that
would
like
to
speak
in
opposition?
Please
come
to
the
podium
and
last
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
in
opposition.
Please
come
to
the
podium,
okay
hearing,
none.
We
will
now
take
questions
from
the
board.
A
A
Okay,
we're
moving
on
to
the
second
second
public
hearing.
This
is
a
public
hearing
before
the
Boston
Redevelopment
Authority
doing
business
as
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency
being
held
to
consider
the
housing
creation
proposal
as
submitted
by
hym
investments.
The
community
builders
and
Pine
Street
in
this
public
hearing
is
required
by
the
guidelines
of
the
housing
creation
regulations.
A
This
public
hearing
was
duly
advertised,
On
January,
2nd
2020
in
the
Boston
Herald
Anna
BPD,
a
hearing
on
a
proposed
petition
by
the
agency
staff
members
will
first
present
their
case
and
are
subject
to
questioning
by
the
members
of
the
agency
thereafter.
Those
others
who
wish
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
proposed
petition
are
afforded
an
opportunity
to
do
so
under
these
same
rules
of
questioning,
following
that.
Those
who
wish
to
speak
in
opposition
may
do
so
again
under
the
same
rules
of
questioning.
A
Finally,
the
proponents
are
allowed
a
period
of
five
to
ten
minutes
for
rebuttal
if
they
so
desire.
In
an
effort
to
accommodate
all
who
would
like
to
speak
about
this
proposal,
each
person
will
be
given
up
to
two
minutes
to
comment.
Upda
staff
will
indicate
when
30
seconds
remain
and
at
that
time
please
conclude
your
remarks
so
that
the
hearing
may
continue
and
others
may
be
heard
at
Tim.
Davis
will
now
proceed.
I
am.
R
A
R
Is
a
provision
within
the
regulations
that
we
can
actually
speed
up
those
payments
and
as
a
targeted
payment
to
a
specific
project?
In
this
case,
we
are
looking
at
the
one
Congress
Street
full
French
Crossing
project,
which
is
just
around
the
corner
from
here.
The
developer
is
hym
investments.
They
recently
pulled
the
permit
for
the
office
building,
which
is
going
to
be
the
future
home
to
State
Street
investments,
and
they
have
linkage
how
payments
to
on
that
project
in
a
unique
move.
We
have
done
projects
that
are
close
by
to
projects
before
this.
R
This
project
is
not.
The
receiving
project
is
not
near
Congress
Street,
it's
in
Jamaica
Plain.
However,
there
is
a
great
deal
of
interest
and
support
from
meeting
citywide
goals
around
providing
people
housing
for
people
who
are
formerly
homeless.
So
we
have
here
the
3360
Washington
Street
project
in
Jamaica
Plain,
which
was
approved
by
this
agency
a
couple
of
months
ago.
So
this
is
not
an
article
80
approval,
it's
just
a
public
hearing
for
this.
R
The
developer
is
Pine
Street
in
and
the
community
builders
with
202
income
restricted
units
of
which
140
would
be
for
individuals
who
were
formerly
homeless,
supportive
housing
and
then
62
mixed
income
units
at
a
range
of
incomes,
but
all
are
restricted.
I
do
not
have
any
need
a
specific
additional
presentation
from
the
developers,
but
Jan
Griffin
from
the
Pine
Street
Inn
and
Lydia
Scott
from
the
community
builders
are
here.
If
you
have
any
questions,
okay,
great.
A
A
AM
I
AC
A
A
AN
Some
of
these
projects
totally
affordable
piece
from
one
Congress
look
at
the
millions
and
millions
of
dollars.
That's
coming
out
of
that
project
in
Jamaica,
Plain
I
see
opposition,
sometimes
to
some
of
these
projects
in
you
can't
do
what
we're
doing
without
one
Congress
than
others,
and
it
just
I,
don't
know.
P
A
A
Okay,
on
to
administration
and
finance
item
number

Okay,.
A
A
AO
AO
Mayor
Walsh
pointed
out
that
Boston
has
added
over
a
hundred
twenty
thousand
new
jobs
in
the
past
six
years,
many
of
them
derived
directly
and
indirectly,
from
the
very
positive
development
climate
that
we're
experiencing
that's
a
hundred
twenty
thousand
jobs
for
people
to
care
for
themselves
and
their
families.
It's
a
tremendous
accomplishment,
it's
a
tremendous
story
and
unprecedented
historically,
at
the
same
time,
we've
trained
and
placed
over
10,000
Bostonians
with
low
incomes
and
better
paying
jobs.
That's
been
accomplished
largely
through
the
work
of
the
office
of
Workforce
Development,
which
derives
revenue
from
commercial
development.
AO
Commercial
development
pays
into
a
job
a
job,
a
neighborhood
jobs,
trust
that
is
then
used
by
the
office
of
Workforce
Development
to
finance
job
training,
programs
that
provide
skills,
new
skills
to
Bostonians,
so
that
they
can
work
their
way
up
the
socio-economic
ladder,
another
really
profound
accomplishment,
and
in
in
in
in
yielding
investments
in
the
human
capital
of
the
city
of
Boston.
We
also
lead
the
nation
in
the
creation
of
affordable
housing.
We
lead
the
nation
in
the
creation
and
maintenance
of
open
space.
The
vast
majority
of
the
city
lives
within
a
very
short
walk.
AF
AO
Open
public
green
space
we're
also
the
most
energy
efficient
and
climate
friendly
city
in
United
States,
the
mayor
celebrated
those
accomplished
accomplished
meant,
as
do
all
of
us
who
work
on
these
issues
here
at
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency
mayor
also
pointed
out
his
goal
of
spending
five
five
hundred
million
dollars
over
the
next
five
years
to
create
affordable
housing
for
the
first
time
in
Boston's
history.
The
mayor's
also
announced
his
intent
that
the
city
will
fund
rental
vouchers
that
is
traditionally
occurred
at
the
federal
and
state
level.
AO
It
will
now
occur
at
the
city
level,
it'll
subsidize
the
rents
of
those
most
in
need,
including
families
experiencing
chronic
homelessness,
who
are
not
otherwise
eligible
for
the
state's
emergency
assistance.
It
will
also
help
formerly
chronically
homeless
individuals,
in
addition
to
families,
and
it
will
help
extremely
low-income,
elderly
and
disabled
households.
We
here
at
the
agency,
certainly
look
forward
to
advancing
the
mayor's
affordable
housing
goals
in
both
our
permitting
and
our
planning
decisions.
AO
I'm
pleased
also
that,
as
of
tonight,
as
we
begin,
the
air
I'd
like
to
describe
how
some
very
recent
planning
has
yielded
some
really
positive
outcomes.
With
regard
to
affordable
housing,
this
board
adopt
what
was
formerly
known
as
plan
Dudley,
with
the
renaming
of
Dudley
Square
to
Nubian
square.
It
is
now
planned
Nubian
we
have
approved
just
now
three
fully
income
restricted
projects
in
Roxbury.
They
flowed
from
that
planning
effort.
These
were
specifically
considered
and
embraced
by
the
neighborhood
of
Roxbury.
AO
We
adopted
those
in
the
plan
and
now
we've
got
three
entirely
affordable
developments
that
have
been
approved
and
will
be
built
to
address
the
needs
of
people
in
the
city
and
in
Roxbury
I'd,
also
like
to
go
back
at
the
beginning,
you,
a
very
beginning
of
tonight's,
proceeding
Michelle
Goldberg
presented
on
the
budget.
As
we
sum
up
calendar
year
2019,
it
was
really
remarkable
story
given
where
we
were
and
and
and
how
far
we've
come.
I
came
here
in
2009
a
really
bad
time.
AO
Budget
wise
same
intense
aim
at
eleven,
but
we
have
certainly
turned
the
corner,
and
this
was
a
really
strong
finish
to
the
year
from
a
budget
standpoint
and,
as
you
pointed
out,
the
board
members.
We
thank
you
for
your
support
of
the
reform
efforts
that
have
occurred
in
some
of
our
operations,
especially
in
in
the
administration
and
Finance
realm.
We've
really
developed
a
terrific
team
and
it
yields
benefits
in
the
way
the
agencies
run
and
the
way
the
agency
does.
The
business
of
the
people
of
Boston
we've
improved
procurement.
AO
AC
AO
Over
10
million
square
feet
of
new
development,
it
was
worth
in
2019,
five
point:
six
billion
dollars
we
approved
just
under
5,000
new
residential
units
last
year,
including
1216
income,
restricted
units-
that's
2024
percent
of
all
units
permitted
last
year,
where
income
restricted
affordable.
These
development
projects
will
also
create,
as
they
are
built,
eight
thousand
400
construction
jobs
and
just
under
8,000
permanent
jobs.
On
a
process,
standpoint
from
the
be
PDL
BP
da
held
approximately.
AO
458
give
or
take
community
meetings,
and
that
was
to
vet
development
proposals
before
neighborhoods,
and
it
was
to
conduct
planning
discussions
in
the
neighborhoods,
so
both
of
these
things
occupied
an
extraordinary
amount
of
time,
effort
and
bandwidth
of
the
agency
staff.
So
I
want
to
thank
them
for
being
out
there
night
after
night
after
night.
We're
really
confident
I've
mentioned
this
in
past
discussions
that
we
do
more
community
process
than
any
other
city
in
America.
There
was
actually
a
piece
written
by
a
graduate
student
at
MIT
on
this
subject,
so
we
see
it
every
day.
AO
Our
folks
are
out
there
at
night
working
with
neighbors
to
improve
the
city
to
improve
their
neighborhoods,
and
we
we
kept
up
that
extraordinary
pace
in
2019,
engaging
our
neighbors
so
with
that
I
just
want
to
once
again
acknowledge.
This
is
the
work
we
do,
that
yields
jobs
for
Bostonians,
record
property
tax
revenues
for
the
city
that
helped
finance
the
services
that
make
this
a
great
place
to
live
and
and
we're
creating
a
record
number
of
affordable
units.
So
that's
all
these
are
all
things
that
we
feel
really
good
about.
