A

this
meeting
is

To
begin
the
meeting,
I
will
take
a
roll
call
of
the
members
mr
monahan,
dr
lance
mark
grayson.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
madam
secretary
and
members
of
the
board
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
today.
My
name
is
bex
braun
and
I'm
a
special
advisor
at
the
bpba
reporting
to
devon
quirk
on
behalf
of
a
large
team
who
contributed
to
this.
I
am
requesting
authorization
to
approve
a
bpda
real
estate,
decarbonization
strategy
for
the
purpose
of
setting
aspirational
goals
to
decarbonize
the
bpda's
real
estate
portfolio.
C
We
began
this
effort
with
the
recognition
that
climate
change
is
a
global
problem,
but
with
local
effects,
residents
of
boston
are
already
experiencing
changing
seasonal
patterns,
including
extreme
temperatures,
sea
level
rise,
extreme
particip,
precipitation
and
coastal
storms.
These
create
hazards
like
flooding
and
extreme
heat,
with
meaningful
impacts
to
city
residents.
C
C
The
bpda
believes
that
it
has
a
responsibility
to
reduce
the
negative
and
inequitable
impacts
of
energy
consumption
and
its
real
estate
portfolio
creates
an
opportunity
to
support
the
city's
carbon
reduction
goals
and
to
advance
economic
development,
embracing
these
responsibilities
and
opportunities.
We
are
setting
a
goal.
The
bpa
will
embark
immediately
on
a
path
to
achieve
zero
net
carbon
emissions
as
soon
as
possible
for
its
real
estate
portfolio.
C
C
The
four
initiatives
are
first
for
existing
buildings
that
the
bpda
owns
and
manages.
We
will
immediately
begin
planning
and
implementing
operational
and
capital
improvements
to
achieve
zero
net
carbon
for
each
building
this
decade.
This
is
our
top
priority
for
existing
buildings
on
land
that
bpa
ground
leases.
We
will
immediately
begin
tenant
engagement
and
education
and
complementary
tactics
in
coordination
with
the
city's
ordinance
verdo
2.
C
to
achieve
significant
progress
towards
a
fully
net
zero
carbon
ground
lease
portfolio
by
2030
and
full
carbon
neutrality
by
2040.
C
In
the
rare
case
where
a
building
is
developed,
but
is
not
carbon
neutral,
it
will
have
a
clear
path
to
decarbonization
and
fourth
for
other
parcels.
In
the
bpa's
portfolio,
we
will
identify
creative
options
to
offset
operational
carbon
emissions
elsewhere
to
contribute
to
a
net
zero
carbon
portfolio
and
advance
related
priorities,
including
environmental
justice.
C
Across
all
four
initiatives,
the
real
estate
team
will
monitor
and
report
on
anticipated
results
and
we'll
engage
with
other
impacted
bpa
departments
to
reflect
this
priority
and
any
process
changes
required
recognizing
the
rapid
advances
in
technology
and
practices.
This
policy
will
remain
a
working
document
and
we've
already
begun
tenant
engagement
on
this
topic
and
have
received
feedback.
We're
working
to
incorporate
these
comments
and
we'll
continue
to
welcome
feedback
through
our
forthcoming
website
and
comment
form,
even
as
we
begin
the
hard
work
of
moving
towards
this
goal.
C
D
C
Yes,
so
one
of
the
things
that
is
important
to
us
is
that
we
are
not
displacing
tenants
as
part
of
this
strategy,
so
we
will
be
working
closely
with
our
suite
these
tenants
to
understand
what
their
goals
and
priorities
and
needs
are,
and
then
we
have
already
begun
that
process.
D
Okay,
I
should
have
maybe
said
it
differently.
Is
there
any
cost
to
the
talents.
C
It
is
possible,
but
we
will
be
working
with
them
to
figure
out
the
financials
of
this.
We
are
expecting
that
we
will
spend
money
to
do
this
as
it
is
our
buildings
and-
and
maybe
dennis
would
like
to
speak
to
this
as
well.
E
E
The
windows
in
that
building,
literally,
you
know,
serve
in
1945
and
we're
talking
in
the
context
of
this
policy
and
how
we
can
share
the
cost
with
them
to
help
help,
help
them
help
us
and
help
or
help
us
help
them.
So
it's
a
work
in
progress,
but
we
do
not
expect
the
tenants
to
to
absorb
all
these
costs
because
that's
not
that's
not
simple.
F
E
We're
very
aware
of
that
we're
looking
at
is
an
opportunity
to
see
how
creative
we
can
get
with
all
their
tanks
to
reach
his
mutual
goals,
and
there
will
be
there
will
be
a
financial
contribution
on
our
part,
most
likely
specifically
in
the
suites,
in
the
form
of
grand
production.
C
Yeah,
thank
you,
dr
lance
mark.
We
have
already
begun
engagement
by
sharing
this
document
with
all
of
our
tenants,
both
suite
and
ground
leases
and
shared
a
sort
short
survey
with
them
to
better
understand
what
their
their
sustainability
goals
and
how
we
can
help
that
is
sort
of
the
first
step.
Moving
forward.
The
leasing
team
will
continue
to
have
more
one-on-one
conversations
to
do
this
type
of
collaboration,
but
because
this
primarily
affects
a
specific
set
of
people.
Specifically,
are
our
tenants,
as
opposed
to
all
community
members.

Since
the
1990s,
several

A
B
A
L
Thank
you
matt
and
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
and
director
jemison.
Can
everyone
hear
me?
Okay,
I'm
assuming
I'm
coming
in
fine,
so
my
name
is
nick
schmidt,
I'm
a
senior
transportation
planner
here
in
the
bpda's
transportation
and
infrastructure
planning
department,
I'm
here
today
to
request
authorization
for
the
secretary
to
advertise
and
issue
a
request
for
proposals
to
engage
a
consultant
to
assist
in
the
preparation
of
the
fenway
kenmore
transportation
action
plan.
L
L
The
action
plan
is
a
continuation
of
prior
and
ongoing
planning
and
design
processes
for
the
fenway
kenmore
neighborhood,
which
began
more
than
20
years
ago.
In
2004,
the
new
zoning
was
adopted
and
in
2009
the
fenway
longwood
kenmore
transportation
action
plan
was
published
together.
These
initiatives
encouraged
mixed-use
development
and
initiated
multi-modal
transportation
projects
that
have
since
been
completed
or
are
continuing
to
proceed
through
the
through
the
design
process
for
implementation.
L
Today,
over
9
million
square
feet
of
development
projects
are
under
construction
or
proposed
within
or
adjacent
to
the
neighborhood
and
additional
city
and
state
plans
and
projects
are
underway.
A
new
transportation
planning
and
design
initiative
in
the
fenway
neighborhood
is
needed
to
respond
to
this
new
context,
guided
by
goboss
in
2030.
The
action
plan
will
address
four
primary
tasks:
planning
analysis,
design
and
engagement
and
I'll
cover
each
of
these
tasks
in
later
slides.
But
first
I'd
like
to
define
the
study
area
next
slide.
Please.
L
Generally,
the
study
area
is
bounded
by
charles
river
to
the
north,
mass
ave
to
the
east,
fenway
and
ruggle
street
to
the
south
and
st
mary
street
to
the
west.
Brookline
avenue
and
ruggle
street
extend
beyond
the
core
of
the
study
area,
given
anticipated
increases
in
high
frequency
bus
service
and
planned
pathway
connectivity
to
the
southwest
corridor
respectfully
next
slide.
Please
consulting
services
and
expertise
will
be
needed
to
support
the
bpda
across
four
major
tasks,
which
will
include
planning,
analysis,
design
and
engagement.
L
The
delivered
action
plan
will
be
used
by
the
bpda
and
its
partner
agencies
departments
to
guide
the
review
of
the
development
of
development
proposals
in
the
neighborhood,
inform
development
mitigation,
influence
city
capital,
budget
decisions
and
advocate
for
infrastructure.
Investments
by
state
partners.
L
Task
1
will
focus
on
the
planning
of
safe
and
complete
connected
networks
to
inform
all
analysis
design
within
the
action
plan.
This
includes
developing
a
full
network
vision
that
establishes
multimodal
priorities
by
corridor,
defining
a
full
bike
network
and
preparing
a
curbside
management
framework
task
two
will
focus
on
analyzing
streets
and
transit
services
through
the
development
of
a
holistic
study
area
model.
This
model
will
align
with
goboss
in
2030
to
support
the
network
vision
established
in
task
1
and
understand
implications
to
the
multimodal
transportation
network
of
any
proposed
change
throughout
this
planning
process.
L
Next
slide,
please
informed
by
the
network,
planning
and
task
1
and
in
concert
with
the
analysis
of
task
2
task
3
will
focus
on
designing
streets
intersections
and
the
public
realm.
This
task
will
focus
on
kenmore
square
brookline
avenue
and
the
ipswich
street
van
ness
street
corridor.
The
bpda
will
work
closely
with
the
boston
transportation
department,
boston,
public
works
department
to
ensure
adherence
to
city,
design,
standards
and
project
development
standards,
and
task
four
will
focus
on
engaging
the
fenway
community
and
its
stakeholders.
L
H
L
Thank
you,
dr
knightsburg.
That's
a
great
question.
The
the
intent
of
our
study
area
is
to
really
focus
on
sort
of
the
core
of
the
fenway
area,
essentially
north
of
the
fens.
L
L
You
know
in
the
near
term.
I
think
the
imp
process
would
be
what
would
be
the
kind
of
planning
initiative
that
would
cover
that,
but,
as
it
relates
to
you
know
this
playing
initiative,
we're
more
focused
specifically
on
the
kind
of
area
north
of
the
fence,
especially
how
new
bus
service
being
planned
through
the
bus
network
redesign
is
going
to
relate
to
street
design,
and
you
know,
space
allocation
on
brookline
avenue
and
kenmore
square.
H
L
I
think
that
yeah
I
I
think
that
I
don't
know
if
kennan
or
someone
has
a
more
broad
answer
to
that
that
question
specifically.
I
just
know
that
this-
that
specific
geography
is
not
related
to
this
project,
in
a
sense
that
we
are
focusing
on
design
for
those
areas,
north
of
the
fence,
primarily
again
related
to
the
new
kind
of
development.
L
That's
already
sort
of
we're
seeing
in
process
both
the
permitting
process
and
the
construction
process
as
well.
As
you
know,
bus
network
changes
that
we're
observing
through
the
bus
number
redesign
process
through
the
campus
itself.
I
don't
think
we
anticipate
aside
from
those
corridors
that
are
sort
of
selected
that
kind
of
wrap
around
like
the
regular
street
corridor,
we're
not
anticipating
new
kind
of
changes
to
bus
service
in
those
specific
areas.
H
And
in
another
portion
of
the
of
the
plan
is
the
planning
that's
going
on
in
the
charles
gate
area
also
included
within
this.
L
Yes,
that's
a
great
question,
so
it
is
it's.
It
will
be
related
to
this
so
where
we
see
that
being
plugged
into
would
be
primarily
in
our
second
task,
which
is
the
development
of
that
holistic,
multimodal
network
model,
the
the
model
itself
is
going
to
be
able
to
at
least
as
we
envision
it
we'll
be
able
to
test
any
kind
of
changes
that
are
being
proposed
through
this
playing
initiative.
But
that
will
also
include
future.
You
know
kind
of
anticipated
changes
from
parallel
and
complementary.
L
You
know
city
and
state
planning
processes,
including
all
the
stuff,
that's
happening
or
envisioned
to
be
happening
along
the
charles
gate
area,
including
the
park
reconfiguration,
and
there
are
two
massdot
projects
that
are
already
programmed,
including
kind
of
reconfiguration
of
the
ramps
at
storrow
drive,
as
well
as
the
overpass
over
the
turnpike.
So
we
do
anticipate
folding
those
into
our
kind
of
future
conditions
of
our
model,
which
will
help
us.
L
M
F
Hey
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
bohemis
and
director
jemison,
I'm
chris
bush
assistant,
deputy
director
for
climate
change
and
environmental
planning
in
january
of
2019,
the
bpda
in
the
city
of
boston's
environment
department,
in
collaboration
with
a
massachusetts,
environmental
management
agency,
submitted
a
proposal
to
the
federal
emergency
management
agency,
pre-disaster
mitigation
grant
program
for
funding
up
to
10
million
dollars
for
the
resilient
four-point
channel
infrastructure
project.
F
This
grant
program
helps
municipalities,
implement
hazard
mitigation
projects
to
enhance
resilience
in
june
of
2019
fema
identified
this
project
for
further
review,
and
we
recently
completed
a
national
environmental
policy
act
and
massachusetts.
Environmental
policy
act
environmental
review.
Now
the
next
step
is
to
begin
design
and.
F
The
goal
of
this
project
is
to
address
critical,
current
and
future
coastal
flood
pathways
along
the
eastern
shoreline
of
four
point
channel
represented
in
the
area
in
red
there.
On
the
graphic
next
slide.
Please
flooding
will
be
prevented
through
the
construction
of
approximately
2
300
linear
feet
of
mixed
firm
and
flood
wall
mitigation
features
next
likely,
and
we
have
a
rendering
here
of
what
this
firm
system
along
the
channel
could
potentially
look
like,
and
the
design
and
engineering
work
will
build
upon
this
rendering
efficient.
F
The
overall
project
budget
is
20
million
thousand
dollars.
Ten
million
of
that
will
be
covered
by
the
pdm
grant
and
another
ten
and
a
half
million
matching
funds
coming
from
the
city
of
boston
capital
budget.
The
consultant
services
aims
to
complete
the
design
and
engineering
services
for
this
total
cost
of
design
and
engineering
services.
Phase
of
the
project
is
estimated
to
be
two
million
dollars
which
is
a
not
to
exceed
amount
to
be
framed
within
the
rfp.
F
H
Would
you
just
describe
very
briefly
what
the
impacts
of
this
project
will
be
on
current
flood
projections
in
and
along
dorchester
avenue
and
in
as
far
as
mass
and
cass,
and
that
area.
F
There
needs
to
be
further
work
done
at
the
sort
of
far
southern
extent
and
the
fort
point
channel
to
limit
flood
waters
from
getting
down
into
the
dorchester
avenue
alignment
and
into
roxbury.
I
believe
the
anticipated
activation
of
that
flood
pathway.
If
we
will,
I
will
be
around
20
60
20
70,
so
we
have
a
little
more
time
to
address
that
area
around
cabot
yards
and
the
southern
extent
of
the
channel.
This
reach
of
four-point
channel
that's
protected.
Now
is
a
current
flood
pathway.
F
So
if
you
look
at
the
existing
fema
flood
maps,
this
is
a
flood
zone
and
as
soon
as
2030,
when
we're
anticipating
around
nine
inches
of
sea
level
rise,
these
flood
pathways
would
be
activated
potentially
flooding
areas
of
a
street
alignment.
Four
point:
channel
arts
district
even
out
towards
the
convention
center.
So
and
following
with
the
climate
ready
strategy,
we're
really
looking
to
focus
resources
on
these
flood
pathways
that
are
present
as
soon
as
2030.
F
We've
got
a
little
more
time
to
get
to
those
those
other
areas
further
down
and
south
of
the
channel.
H
At
least
it's
at
this
moment,
it's
not
anticipated
that
this
work
will
simply
funnel
water
further
into
town.
F
No,
no,
the
intent
of
this
project
is,
it
could
be.
I
guess
the
term
is
independently
effective,
so
that's
actually
a
female
requirement.
So
this
berm
system,
as
well
as
a
series
of
deployables
in
this
area,
will
prevent
flood
waters
from
getting
into
the
specific
flood
zone,
there's
what
we
would
term
fringe
flooding
just
further
to
the
north
and
south
through
mid-century
in
this
area,
so
this
would
not
displace
flood
waters
into
those
those
adjacent
zones.
F
H
A
Just
for
I've
recently
become
aware
of
this
new.
All
of
this
new
vocabulary.
Can
you
just
just
double
click
a
little
bit
into
the
use
of
use
of
berm
and
wall
and
kind
of
how
all
of
that
is
intended
to
work
together.
F
Yeah
yeah,
the
you
know,
intent
through
climate
ready,
is
to
have
a
system
of
sort
of
elevated
sort
of
green
or
soft
measures.
If
you
will
along
much
of
of
the
city's
waterfront,
the
intent
with
the
whole
coastal
resilient
solutions
and
the
sort
of
harbor
vision
for
boston
is
to
expand
green
open
space
living
shorelines,
and
so
these
elevated
vegetated
berm
systems
are
where
we
have
enough
real
estate,
really
the
preferred
option.
F
We
could
end
up
in
some
situations
along,
say,
seaport,
boulevard
on
the
south
boston
waterfront,
where
the
boulevard
is
right
up
against
the
the
harbor
walk
and
the
sea
wall,
where
we
may
need
to
look
at
different
types
of
of
features
and
measures
there,
like
we
have
with
the
recently
completed
land
and
papalo
park,
where
the
design
was
very
creative
in
utilizing
sort
of
elevated
seating
systems
close
to
the
harbor
walk
to
serve
as
a
flood
wall,
which
is
really
also
integrated.
So
these
public
amenities
and
seating
areas
as
well.
F
So
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
creative
design
again
the
intent
to
have
sort
of
green
soft
solutions
prioritize
and
put
those
in
where
we
can
in
some
instances
where
we
have
really
limited
real
estate
along
the
waterfront.
We
may
need
to
go
with
more
sort
of
structural
wall
elements.
D
F
Chai,
I
have
a
quick
question.
Chris.
Is
this
one
like
a
daily
situation
or
in
those
special
events?
Well,
the
the
elevation
we're
looking
to
get
to
here
would
protect
the
area
from
what's
termed
a
one
percent
chance.
Storm
event
was
the
40
inches
of
sea
level
rise,
and
we
are
anticipating
that
40
inches
of
sea
level
rise
out
around
20
70..
F
We
really
will
are
looking
to
have
potential
flooding
from
just
regular
monthly,
tidal
flooding
by
by
mid-century
or
2040,
so
this
system
and
the
elevation
it
is
at,
would
protect
against
the
sort
of
blue
sky
high
tide
flooding.
We
can
get
once
a
month
as
well
as
that
that
larger
storm
event
like
the
ones
we
had
in
early
2018
to
keep
flood
waters
out
of
this
area
in
this
particular.
D
Case
has
a
lock
system.
Have
we
been
looked.
F
At
where
yeah
there's
been
some
discussion
of
that,
that
was
actually
looked
at
as
part
of
the
the
2018
south
boston
report,
potentially
a
lock
system
down
at
the
end
of
the
four
point
channel.
F
However,
that
system
would
have
to
be
maintained
as
open
much
of
the
time
so
over
time.
Your
regular
high
tide
flooding
that
we
could
be
seeing
multiple
times
a
month.
Those
types
of
lock
systems
are
not
designed
to
be
closing
and
functioning.
That
frequently
there's
also.
You
know
this
issue
of
redundancy
that
we
really
need
to
have
these
shoreline
systems
in
place
as
well.
F
So
we
want
to
be
spending
money
on
a
lock
system
and
elevated
shoreline,
or
just
have
an
elevated
shoreline
that
functions
at
that
that
flood
level
we
need
to
address
for
future.
For
future
events,
it's
not
to
say
that
you
know
as
the
types
of
technologies
that
are
out
there
for
these
floodgates
could
improve
over
time,
but
the
analysis
that
was
done
did
not
determine
it
was
the
recommended
measure
to
follow
right
now
understood.
Thank
you.
D
Yeah,
I
I
have
one
chris
is
dredging
the
channel.
Does
that
offer
any
potential
relief
as
well.
F
In
these
areas
of
the
harbor,
I
don't
think
so.
If
we
have
a
more
constrained
waterway
like
a
river
that
could
allow
for
additional
capacity,
but
when
we're
dealing
with
the
ocean,
which
has
sort
of
infinite
capacity,
when
you
have
something
like
a
storm
surge,
dredging
is
not
going
to
provide
or
unveil
that
much
of
relief
in
terms
of
that
sort
of
surge
elevation.
That's
coming
into
the
area
the
potential
to
spill
and
push
flood
waters
into
landslides
into
landslide
areas.
F
B
A
Definitely,
you
know
it's
on
all
of
our
minds
right
and-
and
so
I
believe,
emotion
is
honored
here.
B
A
Landsmart
aye
mr
miller
hi
and
the
chair
votes
eye
motion
passes.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
Good
luck.

E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
scrivener's,
ever
by
the

basically
a

from
the

So
that's
that's
big.
Correcting
respect
asked

be
quiet.
Building
108
in
the
chelsea
media
is
a
vacant.
32,
000
square
foot
structure,
foreign
housing,
a
power
plant
constructed
by
the
united
states
navy
in
the
1930s
that
building
is
currently
scheduled
for
demolition
in
environmental
remediation,
which
is
scheduled
for
completion.
It's
targeted
in
the
spring
of
2022.
E
My
colleagues
in
bpu
capital
construction
are
definitely
managing
that
project.
Now
in
2019,
they
issued
a
requested
proposal
for
the
redevelopment
building
on
away
in
february
of
2021.
After
late
continuing
process,
the
bpa
board
voted
to
award
tentative
designation
to
and
then
to
the
then
known
as
powerhouse
partners
llc
for
the
proposed
development
of
the
67
000
square
foot
life
science
facility
with
targeted
neighborhood
names
such
as
a
small
restaurant
or
a
coffee
shop
in
january
of
2022,
the
texas
designation
was
extended
to
july
2023.
E
This
memorandum
recognizes
that
powerhouse
partners,
llc
legal
entity
union,
has
changed
to
powerhouse,
cmni,
llc
I'll,
just
say
paula
house
going
forward.
E
Since
the
initial
designation
powerhouse
has
made
significant
progress
towards
final
designation,
including
finalizing
the
building
design,
which
involved
discussions
and
feedback
from
dpd
and
living
design,
also
national
parks
in
nash,
mass
general
hospital,
which
resulted
in
an
actual
agreed
upon
increasing
the
size
of
the
building
to
97
thousand
square
feet.
Collectively,
the
we
thought
the
mass
was
actually
more
appropriate
because
it
was
more
corporate
and
smaller.
In
that
case,
they
also
continuously
meet
with
potential
investors.
E
They
filed
an
article
80
veteran
intent
in
march
of
2022
and
they've
executed,
a
financial
term
sheet
with
the
boston
county
development
agency
today
requesting
votes
to
two
votes,
one
to
acknowledge
the
new
legal
name
of
the
development
entity
to
powerhouse
cny
llc,
and
to
extend
the
10th
designation
to
july
31st
of
2023,
and
during
that
year,
that
year
will
allow
powerhouse
to
finalize
terms
and
conditions
of
the
long-term
guarantees
through
gpa,
pursue
commitments
to
equity,
investors
pursue
construction
and
permanent
financing
and,
as
as
the
date
for
delivery,
gets
closer,
they
will
extension
and
try
to
finalize
commitments
from
prospective
tenants.
E
It's
a
little
too
early
in
the
game
to
lock
up
commitments
for
tenants
and
they
also
identify
all
necessary
ongoing
documents
and
file
all
necessary
applications
to
your
massachusetts,
historical
commission,
I
with
the
favorable
favorable
vote
today.
I
would
just
be

Q
Thank
you,
madam
chair
director
jameson,
madam

I'm
here
today
to
request
authorization
to
discharge
the
affordable

covenant,
restrictions
on
bpda
residential
unit
117
and

on
february
14
2019.
Q
in
1999,
an
artist
purchased
unit
117
and
unit
119
as
a
combined
unit
for
155
570
dollars,
which
was
a
marquee
at
the
time.
However,
pursuant
to
the
lda
unit,
119
was
intended
to
be
an
artist
affordable
unit
and
pursuant
to
the
master
deed
unit,
117
was
intended
to
also
be
an
artist
affordable
unit
in
2019.
Q
The
owner
of
the
property
wished
to
sell
the
units
rapidly
in
price
to
combine
units
at
market
rate.
The
bpda
was
notified
of
the
sale
on
january
16.
2019
and
after
negotiations
with
the
mediator,
the
bpda
exercised
his
writing
first
refusal
and
purchased
the
combined
units
for
nine
hundred
twelve
thousand
hundred
500
using
inclusionary
development
policy
funds
in
order
to
avoid
tax,
foreclosure
and
loss
of
affordability,
restrictions
on
the
units.
Q
Originally,
the
plan
of
action
for
these
units
was
to
separate
the
two
units
and
sell
unit
119
at
market
rate
in
unit
117
as
an
affordable
artist
unit.
While
preparing
for
the
disposition
of
these
units
in
from
2021
to
2022,
the
bpda
had
conversations
with
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
in
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture.
Additionally,
we
collected
information
and
evaluated
the
options
available
for
this
disposition.
Q
Three
of
the
five
options
were
ruled
out
because
they
were
not
legally
possible
in
or
feasible
of
the
last
two
options.
One
was
to
sell
the
units
together
at
a
far
affordable
price.
This
option
presented
challenges
because
it
would
not
meet
the
artist's
manager.
It
would
not
meet
the
artist's
community's
need
for
affordable
for
affordability
due
to
the
presence
of
a
high
homeowners
association
fee,
elaconio
loss.
Q
Additionally,
the
units
would
have
to
be
sold
at
an
extremely
low
price,
which
would
result
in
a
very
high
subsidy
cost,
which
was
estimated
to
be
greater
than
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
a
single,
affordable
unit.
The
second
option
is
to
sell
the
combined
units
at
market
rate.
This
option
presented
challenges
by
being
misaligned
with
the
bpda's
mission,
as
it
does
not
preserve
the
existing,
affordable
artist
units,
and
there
are
a
there
are
few
opportunities
to
create
similar
units
in
the
south
end.
Q
The
combined
units
are
estimated
to
be
to
possibly
be
sold
for
one
million
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
which
is
over,
which
is
over
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
higher
than
the
price
that
the
bpa
paid
for
the
for
the
unit,
the
bpa
committee
decided
to
recommend
pursuing
option
two,
the
sale
of
the
combined
units
at
market
rate.
While
the
committee
recognizes
the
downside
of
this
option,
we
believe
that
these
funds
have
the
potential
to
create
a
greater
positive
impact
rather
than
a
single,
affordable
unit.
Q
The
proceeds
from
the
sale
will
put
will
be
put
directly
into
the
ibp
fund,
which
will
flow
into
the
mayor's
office
of
housing's
housing
development
pipeline
to
subsidize
artists
housing.
If
an
appropriate
project
is
not
identified,
then
the
funds
will
instead
be
used
for
down
payment
assistance
for
artist
home
ownership.
Q
The
bpda
staff
recommends
that
the
bpa
board
authorized
the
director
to
discharge
the
affordable
housing
covenant
restriction
on
the
units
to
execute
any
and
all
documents
required
to
engage
in
real
estate
broker,
to
advertise
and
assist
and
sell
the
units
and
to
estimate
and
to
execute
a
deed
in
any
in
all.
Doctors
required
to
convey
the
units
with
that
being
said,
I'm
ready
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
Q
So
the
this
unit
together
was
one
of
the
first
units
that
were
that
was
put
together
that
actually
had
an
lda
placed
upon
it
that
while
there
was
a
covenant
inside
the
lda
to
protect
unit
119
and
one
inside
the
masterpiece
to
protect
unit
117,
the
timing
that
the
bpa
found
out
that
the
unit
was
being
sold
did
not
leave
that
you
can
see
the
opportunity
to
try
to
enforce
the
affordable
covenants
on
that
particular
property.
Q
Additionally,
during
that
particular
time
time
frame,
that's
where
we
ran
into
the
potential
loss
of
the
affordable
affordability
restriction
due
to
the
upcoming
test
foreclosure
on
the
property.
So
that's
why
things
move
down
that
route
of
that
right
of
first
refusal
in
order
to
just
have
the
opportunity
to
try
to
protect
affordability
when
we
first
purchased
it
back
in
2019.
D
H
Q
So
it's
currently
estimated
that
the
property
will
be
sold
for
1.5
million
dollars,
which
is
an
increase
of
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
original
purchase
price
that
we've
made
back
in
2019.
Q
That's
why
our
current
committee,
let
put
ourselves
in
his
direction
to
collect
that
those
funds
to
do
more
for
the
community.
Q
So
we
are
currently
as
soon
as
the
property
is
sold.
We
already
have
a
real
estate
developer
that
we
will
most
likely
be
working
with.
Q
It
is
suspected
that
it
will
only
take
a
matter
of
two
or
three
months
in
order
to
have
the
property
be
put
up
for
to
be
sold,
and
at
that
particular
point
in
time
the
money
will
be
put
directly
into
those
the
idp
funds
and
at
that
particular
point
in
time,
it
really
comes
down
to
the
pipeline
of
properties
that
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
has
ongoing,
and
if
there
is
no
properties
that
are
available
at
that
particular
point
in
time,
we
will
definitely
make
that
transition
to
look
for
other
opportunities
to
provide
those
funds
to
assist
for
down
payment
assistance
at
that
point.
H
Well,
I
think
you
can
sense
from
the
board
that
there's
little
discomfort
with
this
transaction,
but
we
understand
how
and
why
it
needs
to
be
done.
So
you
know,
let's
make
some
lemonade
here
and
get
these
funds
back
in
circulation
so
that
they
benefit
artists.
A
Yeah
here
you
know
just
to
piggyback
off
of
that,
it's
clear
to
me
what
limited
options
that
we
have
at
this
point.
It's
not
clear
to
me
on
why
we're
here
right
so
like
what
is
the
actual
like
root
cause
of
the
issue?
A
I
understand
that
we
got
notified
right
very
late
in
you
know
in
the
game
here
and
we
have
limited
options,
but
you
know
what,
from
a
process
perspective
from
a
you
know,
what
can
we
do
to
make
sure
that
this
doesn't
happen
again
in
the
future,
from
in
the
form
of
preventative
or
our
preventative
control?
Realize?
A
Is
there
right
with
the
agreement
and
it
wasn't
it
wasn't
adhered
to,
and
that
is
very
concerning
for
me
from
a
from
a
process
perspective,
so
you
know
what
else
can
we
do
to
to
prevent
this
from
happening
or
to
detect
it
earlier
on,
and
has
the
agency
considered
any
any
penalties
or
any
other?
I
don't
know
ramifications
of
why
we
got
here
how
we
got
here
in
the
first
place
to
with
whoever
are
the
you
know,
the
parties
that
did
not
adhere
to
the
original
agreement.
R
I
can
jump
in
there
very
quickly
so,
as
jonathan
had
mentioned,
this
was
one
of
our
earliest
ldas,
and
so
admittedly,
there
were
some
holes
in
the
ability
to
enforce,
and
so
that's
something,
I
think
is
a
very
clear.
Next
step
is
looking
at
some
of
these
historic
agreements
to
figure
out
if
there
are
oversight
and
things
that
we
could
do
to
prevent
things
like
this
from
happening
again.
But
to
that
point
I
think
we
have
certainly
over
time
strengthened
ldas
to
make
sure
that
things
like
this
don't
happen
again
in
the
future.
H
G
Q
So,
in
terms
of
the
profits
that
have
basically
been
gained,
so
the
majority
of
the
units
that
we
currently
have
ongoing
in
laconian
laws
there
was,
after
this
particular
process,
was
fine.
Our
legal
department
did
a
full
evaluation
of
all
the
units
there
to
ensure
that
those
that
do
have
the
ldas
in
place
are
going
to
be
maintained
and
make
sure
that
those
units
will
continue
to
be
enforced
on
that
front
in
terms
of
the
profits
that
will
be
made
from
this
initial
sale.
Q
Here
of
this
money
will
be
going
directly
towards
the
benefit
of
the
artist
community
as
a
whole.
On
that
particular
front,
I'm
not
sure
if
I'm
directly
answering
your
question,
dr
landsmark,
that
should
directly
post,
but
the
funding
there
will
be
made
specifically
to
invest
into
the
affordability
for
the
artist
community.
I'm
going
forward
on
that
particular
point.
H
A
Okay
and
I'm
not
totally
convinced
that
we
have
really
found
the
root
cause
here
and
that's
not
breastfeeding.
A
Meeting
so
what
I
would
what
I
would
like
and
what
I'm
requesting
is
to,
after
you've
kind
of
completed
your
analysis
of
okay.
How
did
this
happen,
and
how
can
we
prevent
it
in
the
future
that
that
it
be
reported
back
to
this,
to
this
board
of
the
additional
measures
that
we
that
we
have
taken
and
we
plan
to
take
to
have
some
better
oversight?
This
is
you
know,
I
think
we
understand.
A
This
is
a
well
it's
not
the
agenda,
so
it
is
a
vote
that
we
will
take,
but
but
not
one
that
we're
that
I
personally
am
not
I'm
thrilled
about
taking.
So
any
additional
questions
or
comments
for
the
board
hearing
and
seeing
none
of
motion
is
in
order.
D
A
Item

Stephen.
M
Good
evening
and
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
and
director
jameson,
my
name
is
stephen
harvey
and
I'm
a
project
manager
at
the
bpda,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
today.
The
project
I
bring
before
you
today
is
1153
washington
street,
located
in
the
lower
middle
section
of
dorchester.
M
On
april
1st
2022,
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency
received
a
small
project
review
application
from
the
proponent,
the
proponent
proposed
to
construct
the
new
four-story
mixed-use
development
on
the
on
a
12
101
square
foot
parcel.
Currently
a
single
story:
commercial
building
exists
on
the
project
site.
The
existing
single
story
structure
will
be
demolished
for
this
proposal.
The
new
mixed
use
development
will
contain
24
rental
units,
a
1,
655
square
foot,
ground
floor,
commercial
space,
18
parking
spaces
and
24
bicycle
parking
spaces.
M
If
approved,
the
proposal
would
add
four
affordable
units
to
the
city's
affordable
unit
housing
stock.
I
held
a
virtual
public
meeting
for
the
project.
The
meeting
was
well
attended
and
the
project
was
well
received.
The
virtual
public
meeting
was
advertised
in
local
papers
and
via
email.
The
comment
period
for
this
project
ended
on
may
20th
2022.
M
I
would
now
like
to
turn
it
over
to
assistant
deputy
director
of
downtown
and
neighborhood
planning,
kathleen
onifer
to
touch
on
the
planning
context
for
the
area
once
kathleen
runs
through
the
planning
context,
slides
the
project
architect,
michael
delave,
will
present
the
project
proposal.
George
maranti,
the
project
attorney,
is
also
in
attendance
once
the
presentation
is
completed
mike
george
and
I
will
answer
any
questions
put
forward
by
the
board.
Thank
you
again
for
your
time.
Today.
S
You
know
to
a
head
at
washington
street
just
outside
this
project
site
this
plan
that
we're
you
know,
working
on
an
internal
draft
of
has
recommended
through
the
public
process,
that
these
corridors
be
a
location
for
mixed
use
and
mid-rise
development,
near
transit
and
other
amenities,
and
that
redevelopment
be
an
opportunity
to
introduce
new
open
spaces
and
streetscape
improvements
to
create
a
more
comfortable
walking
environment
and
address
the
effects
of
the
heat
island
effect
on
these
major
corridors.
S
S
Even
though,
as
a
small
project
review.
This
is
a
voluntary
effort
and
want
to
commend
them
for
their
their
work
there,
as
well
as
design
review,
to
provide
design
features
that
create
usable,
open
space
and
character
befitting
a
multi-family
residential
building,
including
providing
a
design
for
an
all-brick
building
that
reflects
the
strong
historic
context
of
mid-rise
brick
buildings
like
the
nearby
baker,
chocolate
factory
campus
I'll,
now
turn
it
over
to
the
project
component.
T
Thank
thanks
very
much.
I'm
mike
de
la
fave,
I'm
an
associate
with
roti
architects
on
the
south
end
here
to
present
the
project.
For
you,
you
know,
as
they
mentioned,
the
site
is
located
at
the
base
of
dorchester
avenue
right
in
lower
mills
on
washington,
street
and
river
street
next
slide.
Please.
T
Here
you
can
see
the
the
site,
as
it
is
today,
with
a
collection
of
large,
curb
cuts
and
the
star
market
building
behind
our
site
next
slide.
Please.
T
So
here's
a
couple
of
aerial
views
of
the
of
the
property.
You
can
see
that
the
star
market
is
just
to
our
right
hand,
side
and
the
baker
chocolate
lofts
behind
us,
as
well
as
in
the
ponca
river
in
the
distance
next
slide.
Please.
T
So
we're
really
excited
to
present
this
project
with
a
lot
of
public
realm
upgrades.
So
the
there
are
two
large
curb
cuts
that
are
currently
on
the
site.
We
we
intend
to
close
those
off
and
provide
one
single
10
foot
curb
cut,
leading
to
a
surface
parking
behind
a
commercial
space.
T
This
is
also
a
pretty
busy
intersection
at
the
corner
of
river
and
washington
street,
and
what
we've
chosen
to
do
is
create
a
right
in
and
right
out
only
traffic
condition
for
the
parking,
as
well
as
increasing
the
public
realm
with
a
10-foot
sidewalk,
and
also
adding
more
open
space
in
front
of
the
lobby,
which
is
at
the
corner
of
river
and
washington
street,
to
allow
for
safer
crossing
safer
pedestrian
crossing
next
slide.
Please.
T
So
we're
really
excited
to
be
able
to
sort
of
knit
the
project
into
the
existing
context.
So
you
can
see
here
this
is
our
building
in
front
and
we're
very
excited
that
it
four-story
building
that
sort
of
fits
seamlessly
into
its
context
using
rich
materials,
brick
and
metal
next
slide,
please.
T
This
is
the
is
a
rendering
of
the
building
from
the
corner
river
and
washington
street,
and
you
can
see
that
the
main
residential
entry
there
on
the
corner,
as
well
as
some
deep
brick
profiles,
a
strong
cornice
metal
work,
large
windows,
some
vegetation
and
new
trees
along
the
street
front,
as
well
as
a
collection
of
pie,
lasters,
and
then
that
open
space
on
the
lower
right
hand
corner
next
slide.
Please.
T
Some
more
views
of
the
project,
the
upper
right
hand
corner,
is
across
the
street.
The
upper
left-hand
corner
is
a
view
from
river
street
right
next
to
the
star
market
loading
dock.
We're
excited
to
be
able
to
transfer
a
lot
of
that
materiality
around
the
corner
and
address
that
facade
the
lower
left
hand.
Corner
is

with
19
residential
condo

N
Good
good
afternoon,
can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
yes,
yes,
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'll
try
to
be
very
brief,
because
I
know
you
have
an
agenda,
and
time
is
short.
I'm
ron
gold,
I'm
the
proponent
of
the
project
located
at
4011
to
4019
washington
street.
This
application,
as
you
know,
is
for
19
residential
units.
These
are
for
sale
units
these
and
the
ground
floor,
retail
space.
N
We
have
on-site
parking
and
I
want
to
express
my
gratitude
to
all
members
of
the
board
for
the
time
and
effort
involved
and
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
tyler
ross,
as
also
as
the
entire
staff
for
their
expert
guiding
some
pragmatic
advice
during
this
while
process,
our
hope
is
to
develop
this
building
and
we've
called
the
project,
the
benjamin
honor,
our
deceased
father,
who
was
born
in
boston.
He
worked
out
of
this
exact
location
for
approximately
50
years
as
a
plumbing
heating
and
building
contractor.
N
Now
I
am
the
youngest
of
65
of
the
siblings
there's
four
of
us
and
given
that,
given
our
advanced
ages,
paid
to
admit
it,
but
true
we
feel
like
now
is
the
time
that
we
could
do
something.
N
That's
more
long-lasting
and
productive
for
this
piece
of
property,
not
just
for
us,
but
for
the
roslindale
community
and
based
on
that
we've
had
three
public
zoo
meetings.
During
these
meetings,
we've
kept
our
ears
our
minds
and
our
hearts
open
to
all
the
local
residents,
and
we
listen
to
the
suggestions
and
comments.
We
have
some
letters
of
support
in
the
file.
N
I
know
we
probably
have
some
detractors
in
that
file
also,
and
we
recognize
we
can't
please
everyone,
but
I
feel
that
this
endeavor
goes
a
long
way
to
me
to
exceed
community
expectations
and
we
are
providing
a
series
of
community
benefits.
A
green
roof
which
helps
to
reduce
our
greenhouse
gas
effect
carbon
footprint
reduction.
N
It
also
enables
the
roof
to
last
two
to
three
times
a
conventional
roof
that
you
would
have
in
a
building
like
this,
which
doesn't
seem
like
much
right
now,
but
it
also
reduces
the
amount
of
manufacturing
required
to
make
replacement,
roofing
materials
etc.
We're
providing
31
at
grade
bike
storage
spaces.
N
We
are
making
a
donation
to
the
parks
department
of
approximately
18
thousand
dollars,
we're
making
a
fifty
seven
hundred
and
sixty
dollar
donation
to
blue
bikes
and
we're
also
doing
more
than
the
required
idp
units
at
twenty
one
percent.
N
We
feel
that
everybody
in
the
city
of
boston
deserves
a
chance
at
more
affordable
home
ownership
and
with
this
project
we
hope
that
we
provide
a
reasonable
housing
alternative
for
people
of
all
ages
and
income
levels
and
overall,
I
I
think
that
we've
come
reasonably
close
to
doing
that
with
this
building
and
we're
trying
to
we're
trying
to
do
something.
That's
right
for
the
times,
but
also
have
a
building
that
that
looks
towards
looks
towards
the
future,
and
I
feel
that
matt
frankie,
the
project
architect,
has
designed
just
such
a
building.
N
I
think
that
it's
timeless
in
its
way,
and
it
also
addresses
specific
issues
with
housing
in
the
city
of
austin
that
we're
currently
all
facing
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
turn
the
proposal
over
to
matt
and
obviously,
if
there's
any
specific
questions,
I'm
more
than
happy
to
answer
as
they
come
up.
Thank
you.
W
Thanks
ron,
that
was
great,
you
took
a
lot
of
the
heavy
lifting
off
my
presentation.
My
name
is
matt
franke,
I'm
with
mtfa,
I'm
the
architect
of
record.
W
The
slide
you're
looking
at
is
showing
washington
street
diagonally
upper
left
to
the
lower
right,
and
you
can
see
the
black
arrow
pointing
to
the
one
story
structure
that
is
existing.
Currently
ron
did
so,
I
won't
reiterate,
but
we
are
proposing
a
four-story
structure
at
43
and
a
half
feet
with
an
far
of
2.63
the
rest
of
the
items
wrong
covered
next
slide.
Please.
W
This
is
a
diagram.
You
can
see
the
project
site
arrow
as
we're
quite
zoomed
out,
but
there
is
a
plethora
of
bike
routes:
zip
cars,
blue
bikes,
the
forest
hills,
t
and
commuter
rail
all
within
this,
this
map
next
up
next
slide.
Please.
W
So
this
is
washington
street
looking
south
the
black
arrow,
pointing
to
the
one-story
structure
that
ron
spoke
about.
That's
been
his
family
for
a
very
long
time,
but
would
be
raised
as
part
of
this
proposal
next
slide.
W
This
is
a
model
of
the
immediate
context,
with
the
upper
left
image
being
the
one
story
structure
again
that
we're
proposing
and
the
surrounding
context.
So
you
know:
there's
a
dominoes,
a
hertz,
some
three
families
across
the
street
and
next
door.
There's
a
one
story:
structure
with
a
nail
salon:
hair
salon
and
the
arboretum
grill,
which
is
a
restaurant.
W
W
This
is
a
site
plan
where
the
first
floor
we're
proposing
to
have
17
parking
spaces
that
are
accessed
off
of
leicester
street.
W
They
are
mostly
covered.
You
can
see
by
the
dashed
line
that
some
of
the
some
of
the
parking
spaces
at
the
top
there
you
know,
maybe
their
their
hoods-
might
get
a
little
snow
or
rain,
but
most
of
the
parking
is
covered
by
the
building.
Above
the
other
programmatic
units
of
the
first
floor
would
be
the
residential
lobby.
You
know
obviously
vertical
circulation
trash
room.
W
W
W
W
Where
that
those
three
people
are
standing
and
the
retail
would
be
accessed
off
of
washington
street.
We
are
proposing
two
new
trees,
sorry,
three
new
trees.
There
are
two
existing
and
we
would
propose
to
add
three
more
the
fourth
floor:
we've
from
a
design
perspective,
we've
stepped
it
back
off
of
washington,
street
and
leicester
street
and
also
you
know,
an
attempt
to
kind
of
erode
the
corners
so
as
to
make
the
four
stories
feel
less
significant
off
of
washington
and
western
street.
W
There
would
be
private
decks,
there's
no
public
deck.
As
ron
mentioned,
we
do
have
a
green
roof,
but
it
is
an
unoccupied
green
roof.
So
there
will
not
be
any
parties
or
anything
going
on
up
there.
It
is
unoccupied,
but
still
provides
the
benefits
of
having
a
green
roof
and
heat
island
effect
and
all
the
other
benefits
that
come
along
with
that.
W
I
believe
yep,
so
that's
the
last
slide,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
me.
A
Yeah,
do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
A
Okay,
roll
call
for
a
vote.
Mr
monahan
hi.
A
Am
the
chair
boots,
I
motion
passes,
looks
good,
congratulations.
Thank
you.
A
Hey
item
number
17
has
been
removed.
Moving
on
to
item
number
18
request
authorization
to
enter
into
an
amended
and
restated,
affordable
housing
agreement
for
off-site
units
in
connection
with
the
development
located
at
1550
soldiers,
soldiers,
field,
road
and
21
soldiers
field
place.
Michelle.
X
Hello
and
thank
you,
chairwoman,
rojas
secretary
pojimas,
director,
gemma
and
members
of
the
board,
I'm
michelle
mccarthy,
housing
policy
manager
here
before
you
today,
with
an
update
to
the
inclusionary
development
policy
program
at
the
previously
approved
1550
social
sphere,
railroad
and
21
soldiers
field
place
project
on
may
17,
2018.
The
sport
approved
off-site
idp
units
for
the
1550
soldiers
field,
road
project
to
be
located
entirely
at
21
soldiers
food
place.
X
At
that
time,
the
idp
units
were
to
consist
of
38
residential
condo
units
consisting
of
four
studios
24,
one
bedrooms,
two
eight
bedrooms
and
two
three
bedrooms.
In
march
of
this
year,
the
development
stream
informed
the
bpda
that
I'll
be.
Although
the
overall
unit
count
of
38
condo
units
would
remain
the
same,
the
studio
units
would
be
eliminated.
X
X
X
Y
I
am,
and
I'm
muted,
by
act
I
muted
myself.
I
apologize
bob
simons
from
the
from
the
development
team
is
on.
Who
has
can
explain
this.
This
issue
in
detail.
Z
H
Z
A
So
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna
hold
the
vote
on
this.
Give
you
a
couple
seconds
to
get
the
right
people
on
the
on
the
call
and
promoted,
and
all
of
that
so
so
we'll
be
right
back
on
this
one.
A
AA
Good
evening,
madam
sheriff
remember.
AA
Tammy
does
that
not
a
problem
at
all
good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
and
director
jensen,
my
name
is
ty
lim
bpda
senior
development,
finance
manager,
as
mentioned
in
the
summary,
the
staff
is
seeking
board's
approval
to
enter
into
subsequent
memorandums
of
agreement
with
the
city
of
boston,
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture.
AA
Bpda
staff
will
work
with
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture,
treasury
and
the
city
of
boston
corporation
council
to
create
subsequent
moas
to
facilitate
such
transfers.
Going
forward
for
your
information,
the
board
has
approved
to
enter
into
similar
moas
with
the
boston,
transportation
department
and
public
works
department
back
in
2018,
which
resulted
in
streamlining
numerous
fund
transfers
which
have
been
agreed
upon
and
memorialized
during
the
article
80
processes.
AA
H
If
we
vote
to
approve
this,
does
this
mean
that
we
are
as
a
board
giving
up
our
oversight
of
these
fund
transfers
to
artistic
endeavors.
AA
Dr
lance
wright,
that's
actually
a
great
question,
so
these
subsequent
moas
will
be
drafted
and
finalized
based
on
the
you
know.
What
actually
resulted
from
the
article
80
processes-
and
you
know
the
mitigations
and
public
benefits
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
will
be
memorializing
the
cooperation
agreement.
AA
H
And
is
there
evidence
that
this
board
has
delayed
in
any
way
the
transfer
funds
to
these
artists
and
arts
organizations?
Z
Z
A
Okay,
so
this
so
this
would
fall
into
the.
When
I
read
the
the
the
agenda
item,
the
all
related
actions
correct,
I
think,
to
be
able
to
kind
of
facilitate
what
we
what
we
already.
What
we
already
approved
is
that
correct
that.
AA
Is
correct?
Okay,
so
during
the
article
80
and
the
the
memorandum
agreement
will
reflect
the
exact
language
of
the
cooperation
agreement,
which
memorializes
all
the
public
benefits
from
that
particular
project
and.
A
B
B
D
Okay,
yeah
I'd
say
it
wasn't
clear.
The
initial
piece
was
not
clear
to
me
so
teresa
as
you
clarify,
we'd,
still
see
where
the
arts
and
culture
funds
are
designated,
but
from
that
point
forward
we
vote
on
it
to
prove
it's
more,
an
accounting
transaction.
That's
simpler!
Is
that
fair
to
say.
H
However,
the
determinations
of
recipients
is
made
is
fine,
but
what
strikes
me
is
that
this
agency,
over
the
years,
has
exercised
the
leverage
that
we
have
with
developers
to
incentivize
them
to
make
our
commitments
to
invest
in
the
arts,
and
I
I
recognize
that
there
may
be
some
expeditious
steps
that
can
be
taken
through
the
passage
of
this
moa.
H
But
I
I
am
not
yet
persuaded
that
the
making
those
decisions
have
the
same
leverage
with
developers
that
we
do,
and
so
my
concern
is
that
developers
may
not
make
the
kinds
of
investments
that
they've
been
willing
to
make
up.
For
now
I
might
be
wrong,
but
I
would
like
some
sense
of
assurance
that
developers
will
still
be
persuaded
to
make
the
kinds
of
arts
investments
that
we
want
to
see
made.
Z
So
dr
landsmark,
as
I
understand
the
negotiations
that
happen
between
our
agency
and
developers
as
as
we're
moving
towards
in
article
80
board
board
hearing,
would
still
continue
and
those
the
the
the
agreements
that
that
the
projects
come
to
would
already
happen
before
we'd
be
in
a
position
to
be
transferring
money
to
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture.
That
work
would
already
have
happened
and
would
already
be
agreed
to
before
we'd
ever
be
in
a
position
to
transfer
the
money
to
to
to
arts
and
culture.
Z
It's
very
similar
to
public
pub
pub,
let's
say
btd
when
you'll
see
in
a
board
in
in
the
community
benefits
or
mitigation
sections
of
your
board
memo
and
there's
ten
or
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
help
with
in
intersection
design
or
construction
on
on
an
intersection
that
that's
approved
in
a
board
memo,
and
then
the
money
at
at
whatever
time
that
the
developers
required
to
to
to
make
that
contribution.
Z
The
money
comes
into
the
agency
here
and
then
it
needs
to
go
to
public
works.
We
have
a
standing,
a
similar
standing
memorandum
of
agreement
with
the
city
such
that
the
money
comes
from
us
to
the
city
with
with
not
having
to
do
a
separate,
moa
and
and
then
accept
and
expand
with
the
city
council.
So
it's
so
it
so
it
would.
This
is.
This
vote
is
asking
for
the
ability
to
to
to
handle
any
contributions
going
directly
to
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
in
a
similar
way.
Z
P
A
Okay,
additional
questions
or
comments,
I'd.
D
Like
to
add
dr
landsmark,
I
appreciate
your
insights
here
and
if
this
is
something
other
board,
members
would
rather
have
a
little
bit
of
time
to
digest.
I
mean
it
seemed
to
have
been
working
well
for
a
long
time.
Is
this
something
we
might
have
on
the
next
agenda?.
H
I
I
would
welcome
that
shift.
I
think
we
just
need
to
take
a
bit
of
a
longer
look.
H
You
know,
frankly,
I'm
not
aware
that
that
the
current
process
has
in
any
way
delayed
the
delivery
of
funds
to
arts
organizations
and-
and
that
would
be
the
last
thing
I
would
want
to
see
happen,
and
I
may
be
just
thinking
more
historically
than
I
need
to,
but
I
know
that
this
agency
has
been
able
to
exercise
considerable
authority
in
our
negotiations
with
developers
around
supporting
the
arts
and
and
I'm
not
sure
that
that
this
transfer
of
authority
strengthens
that.
A
Okay,
I
think
that's
I
I
you
know,
I
think
that's!
That's!
That's
fine
in
that
this.
You
know
this
feels
like
we
have
some
open
questions
and
I
think,
given
that
you
know,
I
think,
we're
all
a
little.
You
know
protective
right,
especially
given
in
the
earlier
in
the
agenda
item
that
you
know
we
had
an
arts
and
culture
unit
get
taken
off
and,
and
so
so
you
know,
secretary
police.
Are
there
any?
You
know
significant
negative
impacts?
That
would
happen.
A
If
we
were
to
table
this
to
the
next
meeting
you
know,
would
we
be
able
to
kind
of
do
a
little
bit
of
business
as
usual
for
another
month
or
so,
while
you
know
we
get
additional
insurance
or
are
there
other
deadlines?
We're
not
aware
of.
Z
So
we
can
certainly
table
this
to
it
to
to
another
moment,
there
is
one
transfer
that
is,
that
that
we're
waiting
to
make
to
the
mayor's
office,
but
we
can
hold
on
that
for
a
month.
H
A
Okay,
sir
there's
a
motion
on
the
table.
Is
there
a
second.
A
All
right
we'll
call
for
a
vote.
Mr
monahan
hi,
dr
landsmark.
B
D
A
A
We
are
now
going
to
go
back
to
writer.
Thank
you
item
number
18..
A
So
I'm
just
going
to
read
it
again:
request
authorization
to
enter
into
an
amended,
restated,
affordable
housing
agreement
for
off-site
units
in
connection
with
the
development
located
at
1550
soldiers,
field,
road
and
21
social
soldiers
field
place.
Michelle.
A
I
don't
know,
I
don't
think
you'd
repeat
it
again.
I
think
let's
just
go
ahead
and
go
back
to
the
question
of
that
dr
landsmark,
had
of
what
I
believe
was
what
what
is
driving
this
change
or.
X
AB
Good
afternoon,
thank
you.
My
name
is
bob
simons
from
smc
management.
We
purchased
this
property
from
dinosaur
capital.
Who
was
the
original
developer
that
negotiated
the
affordable
agreement,
while
icon
was
finishing,
the
design
of
the
building,
the
exhibit
that
listed,
the
number
of
bedrooms
and
the
units
for
the
idp
units
was
developed.
AB
Unfortunately,
when
they
signed
the
agreement,
icon
had
not
finished
the
design
of
the
building
and
they
enhanced
the
design
by
changing
four
of
the
studio
units
into
one
bedrooms
and
two
of
the
one
bedrooms
into
two
bedrooms.
So
without
changing
the
unit
number,
they
increase
the
number
of
bedrooms
by
four
one
bedrooms
from
studios
and
two
two
bedrooms
from
one
bedrooms
other
than
that
we've
cleaned
up
the
square
footages
in
the
exhibit
c,
and
that
was
really
the
extent
of
the
change.
A
Can
we
go
back
to
okay,
so
maybe
we
do
have
to
go
back
and
review
the
the
actual
change
again,
I'm
curious
to
know
what
like
what
is
the
impact
of
this
change
and
make
sure
that
we're
not
in
it
in
a
less
advantageous
state
from
a
public
perspective
with
regard
to
affordable
housing.
X
AB
Yeah,
I
don't
believe
that
the
the
layout
of
the
actual
unit
walls
or
overall
size
of
each
unit
change,
but
they
recognize
that,
like
the
two
one
beds
that
became
two
beds
are
834
840
square
feet
each
as
opposed
to
what
was
originally
anticipated.
They
would
be
612
feet
in
the
preliminary
design
and
same
thing
with
the
the
studios
when
the
original,
when
the
preliminary
design
was
done,
they
thought
those
spaces
were
462
and
they're
actually
658.
AB
G
H
You're
saying
is
that
the
unit
mix
of
affordable
units
is
different,
but
the
total
number
of
affordable
units
remains
the
same.
A
A
Sorry,
I
think
I'm
gonna.
This
is
sorry.
This
is
confusing
me,
so
I'm
trying
to
understand
like
okay,
so
I
know
that
the
mix
changed
but
from
the
I
guess,
what
is
now
which
units
are
going
to
be
affordable
like
what
was
what
is
the
before
and
after
picture
right?
AB
A
Not
really
my
question.
Oh
no,
sorry,
my
question
is
what
was
the
before
picture
of
the
affordable
units
right?
So
what
so?
What
was
the
makeup
of
those
right,
the
mix
of
like
studio,
one
bedroom,
two
bedroom?
So
what
was
that
before
and
then?
What
is
that
now,
like
I,
just
care
about
the
affordable
units.
X
Or
so
it's
all
38
units
of
in
the
21
soldiers
place.
So
it's
all
four
studios
original
composition
with
all
four
studios,
all
four
24
one
beds,
they're
all
24
one
beds,
all
eight
two
beds
and
all
two
three
beds.
So
under
the
new
configuration
it's
the
it's
they're
all
affordable.
So
this
is
the
off-site
contribution.
21
soldiers
field
places
the
off-site
contribution
for
the
1550
soldiers
field,
road
project,
so
all
38
are
affordable.
X
So
it's
not
as
if
we're
losing
a
certain
number
of
affordable
studios
in
exchange
for
now,
a
market
rate
larger
unit
or
anything
like
that
that
they're
all
remain
affordable.
All
38.
A
Did
the
did
the
affordability
like
the
ami
thresholds
change
at
all
of,
like
the
affordability
of
the
units
like
did
that
change
at
all
nope.
A
