request:
authorization,
authorization

accept
and
expend
three
hundred
and
eighty
four
thousand

from
the
Commonwealth

Massachusetts
Seaport
Economic

electrical

at
dry,
dark
number,

with
an

al
Flynn,
Marine

and
to
enter
into
a

agreement
with

ship
repair.
Llc.
B
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board
secretary
Polhemus
charge.
Act
number
three
is
located
in
the
Raymond
L
Flint
Flint
Marine
Park.
It
was
built
in
1915
at
a
length
of
1,200
feet
and
it
remains
one
of
the
largest
dry
docks
on
the
east
coast
of
the
United
States.
Up
until
the
year
2000
it
could
service
90
percent
of
the
vessels
worldwide.
It
is
leased
to
Boston
ship
repair
that
currently
employs
approximately
a
hundred
workers
for
roughly
two
hundred
thousand
man-hours
per
year
and
subcontracts
approximately
another
five
hundred
thousand
man-hours
per
year.
B
A
recent
project,
the
US
Navy
vessel
CA,
was
in
drydock
for
65
days
and
supported
more
than
300
decent
wage
jobs,
most
as
Union
laborers
at
$55
an
hour.
The
shipyard
produces
thirty
to
forty
million
dollars
in
wages
annually.
The
drydock,
however,
is
utilized
only
about
50%
the
year.
The
biggest
limiting
factor
is
the
shipyards
existing
electrical
infrastructure,
which
is
insufficient
to
service
newer
classes
of
vessels.
The
Raymond
L
Flynn
Marine
Park
master
plan
that
was
recently
recently
approved
by
the
by
the
board.
B
Its
economic
analysis
of
port
industries
points
to
growth
opportunities
in
ship
repair.
The
plan
highlights
worthwhile
infrastructure
investments
as
part
of
our
new
business
plan
in
the
park.
The
plan
identifies
the
upgrade
of
the
dry
docks
electrical
service
as
a
vital
and
shovel
rental
revenue
project
by
upgrading
the
service
to
the
shipyard.
They'll
have
sufficient
shore
power
for
modern
vessels,
eliminating
the
use
of
diesel
generators
to
provide
power
to
ships.
This
will
significantly
improve
the
safety,
be
more
energy,
efficient,
reduce
carbon
emissions,
pollution,
traffic
and
noise.
B
Furthermore,
the
upgrade
will
enable
Boston
should
prepare
to
be
more
competitive
in
bids
for
work.
Increasing
the
dry,
docks,
u2
utilization
rate
it'll,
also
save
them
three
million
dollars
annually
and
cost.
By
moving
over
to
a
electric.
The
project
savings
will
result
in
more
competitive
bids,
but
also
an
increased
utilization,
at
least
by
25
percent.
Last
November
we
applied
to
the
Seaport
Economic
Council
for
a
grant
to
match
the
federal
grant,
as
secured
by
Boston,
should
prepare
this
past
February.
B
C
Afternoon,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board,
that's
mass
fallen
heroes,
which
is
what
we
call
them
his
a
tenant
of
ours,
a
12
channel
street
for
many
years
where
they
have
storage
cages.
They
house
the
items
that
are
donated
to
their
agency
that
they
sell
in
order
to
make
money
for
the
veterans
that
money
that
they
donate.
They
have
been
displaced
several
times
their
main
offices
in
Quincy
right
now,
and
they
were
just
at
least
just
ended,
June
30th
and
they
can't
find
an
affordable
space
to
be
in
the
Seaport
where
their
memorial
is.
C
So
they
came
to
us
several
times
over
the
past,
probably
12
months,
and
we
do
have
a
space
of
20
to
drydock.
That
is
really
unmarketable
and
in
pretty
rough
condition,
needs
flooring.
Windows,
electrical
offices
bathrooms
everything.
So
we
have,
we
talked
to
them
about
that.
They
they
talked
to
their
their
partners
and
they've
they're
willing
to
invest
about
$600,000
into
the
space.
So
with
the
condition
of
it,
we
thought
that
a
$10
rental
fee
per
square
foot
would
be
appropriate
after
the
investment
they're.
Looking
for
a
five-year
term,
they
have
a
property.
A
Thank
you
there
any
questions
from
the
board
hearing
on
emotions
in
order.
Second,
second:
Thank
You
Maureen
item
number
four
requests:
authorization
to
extend
the
lease
with
ad
ad
code:
Ron
IMS
Inc
for
the
continued
use
of
45,000
square
feet
at
12,
channel
Street,
Suite,
number
201
and
301
with
an
arraignment
elfin,
Marine
Park.
So.
C
Ad
cut
Ron
has
been
with
us
for
a
long
time,
1993
they
moved
from
Chinatown
where
they
originated
in
1972
when
they
came
over.
They
had
about
96,000
square
feet
and
about
300
employees
in
the
early
2000s.
They
had
a
substantial
downturn
in
their
business
and
they
went
down
to
15
employees
and
gave
us
back
quite
a
bit
of
space
in
the
building
in
12
gentl
Street.
They
have
in
2005
a
couple
of
these
senior
managers
stepped
up
and
purchased
the
company
to
keep
it
afloat
and
they've
rebuilt
the
company
over
time.
C
C
We
agreed
on
a
price
of
it.
It
dolls
in
30
cents.
A
square
foot
is
what
we
is,
what
their
current
rate
is
until
they
lease
expires
in
a
year
and
a
half,
and
then
we
come
up
with
a
price
of
$11.50
to
start
a
new
new
lease
with
them.
They
have
a.
It
is
a
five
five
and
five
five
years
with
two
five-year
options.
C
The
potential
for
the
in
that
the
rent
that
we
will
make
in
the
first
year
is
over
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
they've
agreed
that
if
they
do
leave
after
the
first
five
year
terms,
they're
gonna
pay
us
a
full
month,
full
year's
rent
for
the
sixth
year,
but
they
have
they
have
come
up
with
some
new
contracts
and
some
new
clients.
So
it
doesn't
look
like
they're
gonna
go
out
of
business
fairly
soon.
They
also
employ
about
30%
of
Boston
residents
as
employees.
Okay,.
D
A
Second,
all
those
in
favor.
Thank
you
much
I,
don't
know
five
requests;
authorization
to
execute
a
contract
with
McKay
construction
services,
Inc
for
the
repairs
of
the
existing
garage
project
located
at
12
drydock
app
with
an
arraignment
alpha
and
Marine
Park
and
in
the
mountain
not
to
exceed
four
million.
Five
hundred
sixty
three
thousand
one
hundred
ninety
five
dollars
Paul
thank.
E
E
From
the
first
floor,
all
the
way
to
the
fifth
floor,
we've
got
miscellaneous
concrete
repairs,
roofing
replacement,
flashing
repairs
throughout
the
garage
fire
protection
code,
compliant
upgrades
we're
going
to
repaint
all
the
graphics
and
freshen.
The
look
of
the
garage
and
I've
got
some
general
miscellaneous
electrical
repairs
as
well.
The
project
was
competitively
bid
in
accordance
with
chapter
149,
which
included
seven
file,
substrates
ornamental
iron
waterproofing
and
caulking
roofing
flashing
painting
fire
protection
plumbing
in
electrical
approximately
85
interested
parties
downloaded
the
project
for
the
review
and
consideration
to
participate
file.
E
Sub
bids
were
received
on
May,
9th
2019
and
to
general
business
received
on
June
5th
2019
waterproofing
company
LLC.
They
were
the
apparent
low
bidder.
However,
they
were
not
certified
as
a
DCAM
general,
better
under
bachelors
general
law,
chapter
149,
you
have
to
be
dkm
certified
as
a
general
bidder.
If
you
want
to
submit
a
general
bit,
you
have
to
be
dkm
certified
as
a
filed
sub
bidder.
If
you're
filing
sub
bids
waterproofing
company
was
always
certified
as
a
sub
bit.
So
we
had
to
reject
that
bidder.
E
So
the
following
bidder
was
a
Mackay
construction
services.
So
therefore,
the
only
parent
all
better
actually
was
about
a
forty
thousand
dollar
difference
so
really
minimal.
Compared
to
the
overall
price
I
utilized,
my
house
doctor
Cost
Estimator,
to
review
the
bids
and
stated
that
the
tube
is
received
by
the
BPD
are
generally
fair,
reasonable
in
a
line
with
the
current
Boston
constructure
market
and
funding
is
through
the
BPD
as
capital
budget
and
it's
available.
So
if
there's
any
questions,
I'll
be
glad
to
answer,
but
this
time,
okay.
A
Second,
thank
you
item
number
six
requests
authorization
to
execute
a
contract
with
coastal
marine
construction
LLC
for
the
bulkhead
rehabilitation
at
the
east,
jetty
with
an
arraignment
O'flynn
marine
park
in
the
mountain
ought
to
exceed
1
million
six
hundred
and
fifty
five
thousand
five
hundred
and
twenty-four
dollars.
Oh
thank.
E
You
again,
mr.
chairman,
yeah,
located
on
that
site
map.
You
see
all
the
way
to
the
right.
That's
the
east
jetty!
It's
a
steel
bulkhead
system,
it's
corroded
and
be
honest.
Normal
lifespan
we've
been
seeing
this
kind
of
problem
throughout
the
last
eight
ten
years,
or
so
it
was
constructed
by
the
federal
government
back
in
the
1940s
saltwater
exposure
has
caused
severe
corrosion
and
sinkholes,
allowing
the
backfill
to
wash
out
directly
into
the
harbor.
Charles
engineering
was
our
consultant.
E
We
contracted
with
them
to
investigate
the
east
jetty
and
to
design
a
new
independent,
concrete
wall
system
installed
behind
the
existing
bulkhead.
That
was
structurally
reinforced,
the
east
jay
to
replace
the
corroded
steel
bulkhead
system.
So
basically,
what
I'll
do
I
will
leaving
the
old
bulkhead
system
in
and
then
we're
excavating
on
the
land
portion
of
it
to
create
a
new
wall
system
and
that'll
be
right
up
tight
against
the
existing
bulkhead,
which
will
just
be
abandoned
in
place.
E
The
new
lead,
design
and
construct
the
wall
system
will
be
approximately
460
feet
in
length
and
once
finished
it
will
protect
the
land
portion
and
structures
that
three
Dolph
away
permitting.
For
this
project
is
complete
with
the
Boston
Conservation
Commission
vote
of
approval
on
March
20th.
The
project
was
publicly
been
in
accordance
with
Mass
General
30:39
M.
E
If
you
looked
at
the
difference
of
the
bids,
we
were
a
little
concerned
all
only
because
there
was
a
pretty
decent
discrepancy
between
their
bid
in
the
low
bidder,
so
we
are
reached
to
them
to
assure
that
the
difference
between
coastal
and
the
other
range
of
the
bids.
It
was
requested
that
coastal
determined
that
there
was
not
any
error
or
omissions
in
there.
Typically,
we
do
that
to
assure
that.
E
They
came
back
and
said
that
they
did
another
investigation,
they're
saying
they're
good
with
their
price.
So
therefore,
mr.
chairman,
we're
recommending
to
award
coastal
marine
construction,
the
bulkhead
repair
project
funding
for
the
project
is
included
in
the
fiscal
year
2020
budget
and
is
available.
Okay,
any.

board
authorized
the
director
to
petition
the
Zoning
Commission
to
establish
the
South

overlay,
district

to
the
South

neighborhood

the
plan,
Dudley
square
public
process,
overview
and
guidelines
for
future
development
document.
As
the
plan
document
that
summarizes
the
plan
Dudley
square
process
and
will
guide
the
BPD
I
and
the
community
on
future
development
and
public
realm
improvements
within
the
Dudley
Square
area.
I
This
request
is
solely
for
the
plan
today,
squared
document,
it's
not
for
any
RFPs
currently
being
discussed
within
the
community.
The
process
was
facilitated
by
the
BPD,
a
team
in
close
collaboration
with
our
colleagues
across
city
and
state
departments,
with
special
emphasis
on
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
Office
of
Economic
Development
Boston,
Transportation
Department
and
the
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
Additionally,
the
process
would
not
have
been
possible
without
the
participation
and
engagement
of
the
Roxbury
Community
and
the
Roxbury
strategic
master
plan.
Oversight
Committee
mayor
Walsh
launched
the
planned
ugly
square
process
in
February
of
2016.
I
The
goals
of
plan
Dudley
square
are
summarized
here:
first,
it's
to
revisit
the
original
goals
of
the
2004
Roxbury
strategic
master
plan.
It's
to
reassess,
neighborhood
needs
and
changes
in
the
real
estate
market
and
to
incorporate
these
community
goals
into
the
RFPs
for
publicly
owned
vacant
land
in
Dudley
Square.
I
This
is
the
map
of
the
plan,
Dudley
square
study
area.
The
parcels
in
light
blue
are
already
designated
parcels
that
you're
familiar
with
such
as
Bartlett
and
p3.
The
purple
color
shows
parcels
owned
by
D
&
E
that
were
RFP
through
this
process
in
July
2018.
The
teams
for
parcel
development
were
subsequently
chosen
through
a
PRC
project
review
committee,
public
process
and
then
the
dark
blue,
RB,
PDA
and
state
owned
parcels
that
RFPs
are
currently
being
drafted
and
under
review.
I
This
is
the
timeline
of
the
community
engagement
process.
Early
workshops
focused
on
visioning
and
information
sharing.
They
covered
topics
of
transportation,
urban
design,
economic
development,
housing
and
climate
resilience
to
shape
the
themes
included
in
the
RFP.
The
document
outlines
the
original
2004
roxbury
strategic
master
plans
goals
and
provides
an
overview
on
which
goals
still
resonated
with
the
community.
Today,
later,
workshops
focused
in
detail
on
specific
development
guideline
language
used
in
RFPs,
giving
community
members
a
chance
to
weigh
in
on
the
guidelines
and
evaluation
criteria.
I
There
were
multiple
rfp's
drafts
and
comment
periods
until
the
four
RFPs
that
were
released
in
July
of
2018.
This
is
the
series
of
photos
from
some
of
the
different
types
of
workshops
we
had.
We
hosted
walking
tours
open
houses,
small
group
activities
as
well
as
presentations
from
various
city
staff.
I
Overall,
the
document
were
seeking
approval
to
adopt,
describes
the
two-year
Community
Engagement
process
that
resulted
in
the
release,
the
four
RFPs,
and
that
was
the
release
of
40
to
50
Warren
Street
135,
Dudley,
Street
75
to
81
Dudley
Street,
21:47,
Washington
Street.
It
will
also
inform
the
release
of
future
RFPs
for
publicly
owned
vacant
land
at
Dudley
square,
specifically
the
ones
we're
working
on
now
are
Blair
lot
parsley
in
the
non
factory,
Crescent
parcel
and
Roxbury
Street
a
and
B.
I
In
summary,
the
document
covers
planning
context
which
includes
a
history
and
demographic
info.
The
community
planning
process
and
frame
lines
and
guidelines
frame
working
guidelines
for
future
development
within
the
framework
section
in
the
document
are
a
set
of
guidelines
and
principles
that
resulted
from
the
process.
These
are
present
within
all
the
RFPs
and
have
been
released
and
will
be
released.
Moving
forward.
These
guidelines
are
development
without
displacement,
diversity
and
inclusion,
housing,
an
affordability,
good
job
standards,
active
public
around
green
building
standards
and
the
development
guidelines
for
each
each
parcel.
I
The
process
is
still
ongoing.
Has
we
have
four
more
publicly
owned
parcels
to
undergo
RFP
review,
currently
we're
working
with
the
community
on
finalizing
RFP
language
for
parsley,
non
factory
and
the
Blair
lot,
and
our
next
meeting
is
going
to
be
July
22nd.
We
anticipate
having
further
discussion
around
Crescent
parcel
and
Roxbury
a
and
B
towards
the
end
of
2019
early
2020,
we'll
be
back
in
front
of
you.
This
fall
with
request
to
release
on
the
RFPs
for
the
BPD
and
state
owned
parcels.
I
In
summary,
this
document
outlines
the
principles,
themes
and
guidelines
for
the
development
of
publicly
owned
parcels
and
desease
we're
and
documents
the
public
process.
We
ask
you
today
to
vote
to
approve
the
plan
document
which
will
guide
future
development
and
improvements
within
the
EE
squared
study
area
through
the
release
for
request
for
proposals.
D
Have
one
question
in
the
introduction
to
the
plan
in
the
context
that
you
offer
talks
about
how,
in
the
past,
public
policy
is
really
harmed?
This
neighborhood
and
I'm
wondering
if
you
can,
anyone
can
speak
to
how
this
process
is
fundamentally
different
and
will
result
in
public
policy
that
actually
helps
the
neighborhood
instead
of
harming
the
neighborhood
there's
kind
of
a
big
big
picture.
Question.
I
Both
the
engagement
process
we
held
and
the
policy
within
the
RFPs,
the
engagement
process
is,
we
were
initially
building
off
the
work
of
the
2004
plans,
but
I
was
seen
in
the
timeline.
We
had
an
extensive
process
throughout
and
there
were
21
workshops
before
the
RFPs
went
out
and
they're
still,
even
once
the
RFPs
are
released.
There's
then
the
project
review
committee
process
and
then
the
article
80
whole
article
80
process
still
needs
to
be
completed
with
community
input.
I
So
I
think
the
amount
of
community
input
is
one
change
and
then
some
of
the
new
things
included
within
the
RFPs,
such
as
the
diversity,
inclusion
and
development
without
displacement,
which
is
now
city
policy
for
any
any
city-owned
public
parcels
to
be
included
within
RFPs
I.
Think
that's
a
big
difference
as
well.
D
J
Hi
I'm
Mugsy
everyone,
so
safety
is
obviously
a
very
important
issue.
That's
been
affecting
all
of
the
city,
not
just
Dudley
square,
but
of
course
there
is
that
as
well
and
Dudley
square
in
the
surrounding
area
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
ways
in
which
that
we're
addressing
this
throughout
this
process
and
other
planning
initiatives
is
by
working
with
the
intergovernmental
or
intergovernmental
working
group.
So
we've
been
working
with
other
departments
and
we
have
a
working
groups
specifically
for
Dudley
Square
and
in
that
working
group.
J
We're
really
talking
about
how
public
realm
improvements
have
improvements
to
the
ground-floor
of
buildings
and
new
developments
can
really
work
to
actually
address
safety
throughout
activating
spaces
and
also
just
having
more
people
using
space.
So
that
is
one
way
that
design
and
architecture
and
urban
design
can
play
a
role
in
that.
But
we
are
actively
working
with
other
city
agencies
to
make
sure
that
we're
addressing
it
in
any
way
that
we
can.
K
I
So
the
development
without
displacement
language
specifically,
is
required
within
the
RFPs.
So
that
requires
whoever
is
offering
a
proposal
to
submit
plans
for
how
they're
going
to
mitigate
displacement,
how
it's
gonna
their
proposal
will
help
current
residents
to
reach
stay
in
their
communities.
How
they
can
afford
continue
to
afford
housing
there
and
overall
find
pathways
to
economic
opportunity.
So,
while
we
may
have
not
that
I
think
that
was
also
an
overarching
theme
throughout
the
whole
process
and
translated
directly
within
that
language
that
is
required
in
the
RFP.
K
J
Say
that
you
know
displacement
is
a
huge
issue
in
every
city.
I
mean
it's
not
special
to
us,
but
it
is
definitely
very
prevalent
in
our
neighborhoods
as
well
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
ways
in
which
we're
working
to
address
this
placement
is
through
the
affordability
so
making
sure
that
there
are
different
income
levels
that
are
able
to
have
access
to
this
new
housing
that
is
being
developed
and
all
of
the
parcels
are
predominantly
housing
parcels.
J
So
there
are
is
a
large
creation
of
new
housing
coming
in
and,
as
you
know,
generally
the
more
access
to
housing
that
we
have
the
more
likely
it
is
that
housing
that
exists
there.
Prices
do
not
go
up,
but
that's
that's
just
one
of
the
ways
and
I
know:
that's
not
the
most
amazing
answer.
It
is
a
difficult
question.
I
think
we
all
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
in
figuring
out
how
to
approach
it.
M
Direct
director
real
estate
just
wanted
to
add
one
additional
point.
Conditionally
moseying
Lillian
said
we
did
conduct
a
displacement
risk
analysis.
We
looked
at
all
the
households
within
Dudley
square
and
there
and
categorize
them
and
levels
of
risk
for
displacement.
We
found
that
50%
of
the
households
in
the
immediate
deadly
and
Roxbury
or
households
that
are
living
in
existing,
affordable
housing,
that's
income,
restricted
and
protected
for
the
market.
M
K
M
Question
so
the
I
think
important
difference
between
plan,
Dudley
and
other
planning.
Efforts
that
have
been
done
by
this
agency
is
that
plan.
Dudley
is
specifically
for
public
property
and
will
result
in
RFPs
for
public
property.
So
we
have
direct
control.
What
will
be
built
there,
and
so
we
can
achieve
that
2/3
of
all
how
all
housing
is
being
income
restricted,
affordable
housing,
because
we
control
the
property
ownership.
It
does
not
address
privately
owned
property
in
in
Dudley
Square
and
in
Roxbury.
That's
there's
certainly
we're
paying
close
attention
to
that.
I
So
we
have
an
upcoming
workshop
on
July
22nd
and
we're
continuing
to
look
at
personally
and
then
in
the
non
factory
and
then
the
Blair
a
lot.
So
we've
been
out
a
few
times
before
at
previous
workshops.
Looking
specifically
at
those
parcels
we'll
have
drafts
of
the
RFPs,
which
will
also
include
comments
that
we've
received
on
the
drafts
so
far
from
community
members
and
incorporating
the
changes
that
people
have
suggested.
D
A
Don't
know
seven
request
authorization
to
enter
enter
into
a
contract
with
Mass
Design
Group
Limited
for
the
consultant
services
in
connection
with
the
plan.
Matapan
land
use,
urban
design,
market
analysis
and
transportation
study
in
the
mountain
ought
to
exceed
three
hundred
fifty
five
thousand
dollars.
Thank.
J
J
So,
as
I
mentioned
back
in
April,
the
plan
Mattapan
initiative
will
build
upon
imagine
Boston
2030
and
create
a
distinct
neighborhood
plan
for
Matapan.
It
will
also
incorporate
and
build
upon
past
planning
initiatives
such
as
the
Matapan
economic
development
initiative
and
the
Fairmont
indigo
planning
initiative.
As
a
recap,
the
plan
will
consider
the
extent
of
the
Mattapan
neighborhood.
As
you
see
in
front
of
you,
the
proposed
study
area
is
0
to
1
to
6
zip
code,
though
areas
adjacent
to
the
zip
code
will
also
be
considered.
J
The
study
area
line
is
also
permeable
and
it
is
not
it's
not
a
hard
line.
So
whenever
considerations
are
made,
they
will
be
consideration
holistically.
So
there
are
two
primary
deliverables
to
the
overall
plan
initiative.
The
first
is
a
plan
matter
is
a
Matapan
neighborhood
plan,
including
design
guidelines
that
address
open
space
and
resilience,
multimodal
transportation,
housing
and
land
use,
jobs
and
businesses,
neighborhood
character
and
identity,
and
arts
and
culture.
The
second
is
a
comprehensive
implementation
plan
of
actionable
items
that
we
are
identifying
throughout
the
process.
J
The
BPD
a
issued,
the
RFP
on
April
29th
2019
and
received
six
proposals
on
June
7th.
All
submitted
proposals
are
received
by
the
deadline
were
responsive
and
responsible,
met
the
quality
requirements
and
satisfied
minimum
threshold
criteria.
Proposals
were
evaluated
based
on
six
comparative
evaluation
criteria,
including
consultant
team
approach
to
process
and
management
content,
allocation
of
resources
and
scheduled
respondent
interview
and
diversity
and
inclusion.
J
The
last
criteria
was
issued
as
Ana
jet
as
an
addendum
in
order
to
ensure
that
each
team
responded
to
the
community's
requests
for
consultant
teams
to
represent
and
have
experience
working
alongside
racially
economically
in
culturally
diverse
communities.
In
issuing
this
addendum,
most
teams
brought
forth
sub
consultants
that,
as
an
agency
we
had
not
seen
before,
and
also
that
we
believe,
is
integral
to
this
planning
process.
J
The
selected
consultant
team
will
support
the
BPD
a
in
the
development
of
urban
design,
guidelines,
placemaking
and
place,
maintaining
initiatives
and
zoning
and
land
use
analysis.
The
BPD
a
will
work
with
the
community
and
the
consultant
team
to
identify
nodes
corridors
and
sub
areas
for
which
analysis
will
be
conducted
and
humans
will
be
made.
All
options
will
be
used
for
discussion
with
the
community
and
workshops
contributing
to
an
iterative
process
between
the
BPD,
a
city,
the
consultant
team
and
the
community.
J
The
land-use
in
urban
design
scenarios
will
be
shaped
in
part
by
high-level
economic
feasibility
analysis
tasks
associated
with
the
commercial
and
residential
market
analysis.
Sub
consultant
will
include,
studying
and
analyzing,
regional
and
local
housing
and
commercial
market
conditions,
existing
commercial
and
potential
for
new
uses,
supporting
the
development
of
a
small
business
and
to
housing
stabilization
plan
and
identifying
potential
financing
strategies
for
priority
projects
and
improvements.
J
The
selected
consultant
team
will
also
support
the
BPA
in
the
analysis
of
Matta
pans,
multimodal
transportation
network
and
focus
efforts
on
locations
experiencing
transportation
challenges
today
and
the
future.
Additionally,
a
portion
of
the
multimodal
transportation
scope
will
also
be
reserved
for
conceptual
design,
services
and
quick,
build
projects
to
be
implemented.
During
the
study,
we
are
happy
to
recommend
mass
design
group
for
the
plan.
Matapan
land
use,
urban
design,
market
analysis
and
transportation
study.
J
The
selection
team
feels
strongly
that
mass
design
group,
along
with
their
sub
consultants,
rkg
tool,
design,
grayscale
and
supernormal,
brings
substantial
experience
and
expertise
as
well
as
diverse
perspectives
to
the
plan.
Mattapan
team
mass
design
group
brings
to
plan
Mattapan
a
diverse
team,
with
expertise
in
land
use,
an
urban
design,
community
engagement,
housing
and
small
business
stabilization
and
multimodal
transportation
mass
design
group
performed
favorably
in
all
stated
evaluation
criteria
and
ultimately
scored
as
the
most
highly
advantageous
proposal
by
the
selection
committee.
J
Additionally,
mass
design
is
a
non-profit
firm
that
brings
a
welcome
perspective
to
the
team
rooted
in
architecture
and
urban
design
for
equity
and
social
justice
and
a
commitment
to
fostering
meaningful
engagement
and
participatory
processes.
In
order
to
ensure
an
equitable
and
inclusive
process,
they
have
experience
working
on
various
projects
and
plans,
including
the
national
memorial
for
peace
and
justice
in
Montgomery
Alabama,
the
shaker
Square
public
realm
improvement
project
in
Cleveland
Ohio
and
will
be
part
of
the
team
working
on
the
Franklin
Park
master
plan.
J
The
plan
initiative
is
organized
in
the
following
way
with
the
Matapan
community,
working
with
the
BPD
a
and
the
to
guide
this
process
myself
as
project
manager,
managing
the
consultant
team
and
mass
design
group
as
the
project
lead.
The
B
PDA
will
be
the
face
of
this
plan
initiative
as
we
have
built
and
continue
to
build
relationships
with
the
Matapan
community,
and
the
consultant
team
will
work
closely
with
us
to
ensure
that
Matta
prat
Mattapan
residents
and
their
voices
are
brought
to
the
forefront
of
this
initiative.
J
What
we've
done
so
far
is
that
we
do.
Obviously
we
provide
interpretation
services
at
all
of
our
workshops.
We've
have
since
the
beginning,
but
we
have
also
hosted
a
strictly
Haitian
Creole
workshop.
That
was
all
in
Haitian
Creole.
There
was
interpretation
for
English
speakers
actually,
so
it
was
a
very
ever
all
the
materials
were
printed
in
Haitian
Creole,
and,
and
we
can,
we
want
to
continue
to
do
that.
We
also
want
to
address
the
spanish-speaking
community.
That
is
also
in
Mattapan,
so
we're
hoping
to
host
a
similar
one.
Another
way
that
we're
gonna
do.
J
D
A
O
O
So
we've
actually
been
here
twice
before
to
the
board
to
authorize
this
first
to
authorize
into
a
Memorandum
of
Understanding,
with
mascot
in
the
Greenway
Conservancy
and
second
for
the
advertiser.
The
advertisement
of
this
RFP,
so
parcel
2
is
located
at
the
very
top
of
the
Greenway,
which
was
established
through
the
central
artery
tunnel
project
in
the
early
90s.
So
it's
located
right
up
here.
It's
in
the
Bulfinch
Triangle
area
and
borders,
the
North
End.
O
It
will
be
the
northern
terminus
to
the
Greenway,
and
it
is
one
of
the
last
remaining
public
park
parcels
that
it
does
not
have
a
ramp
on
it,
and
so
we're
excited
to
go
to
enter
into
a
contract
for
design
services
for
this
project.
Actually,
before
I
go
on
it's
approximately
5000
square
feet,
it's
bordered
by
a
North
Washington
Street
Anthony,
rip,
Valente,
Way
and
Beverly
Street.
O
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
entered
into
an
MOA
with
the
Greenway
Conservancy,
who
will
ultimately
be
the
managers
of
the
parcel.
They
will
also
manage
the
construction
of
this
and
mascot
who
owns
the
parcel.
That
agreement
was
reached
on
April,
26
2019
and
we're
looking
to
enter
inter
design
services
with
the
ultimate
idea
of
you
know,
building
and
constructing
this
park
within
2020.
We
would
like
to
begin
construction
within
the
2020
window
and
we're
aiming
to
end
by
the
end
of
the
year
or
2021
at
the
latest.
So.
O
We
released
the
RFP
for
this
project
on
may
8th
2019.
We
received
eight
proposals.
The
proposals
were
evaluated
by
three
members,
one
member
of
the
BPD,
a
myself,
a
member
of
the
mascot
team
and
one
member
of
the
Greenway
Conservancy
of
those
we
found
ask-ask
plus
and
unknown
Studios
proposal
to
be
the
most
advantageous
and
responsible
proposal
the
where
they
were
evaluated,
based
on
five
criteria:
the
respondent
team,
the
approach
to
project
management,
the
content
of
the
proposal
itself,
the
allocation
of
resources
and
schedule
and
the
respondent
interview.
O
We
found
them
to
be
the
most
advantageous
and
they
met
all
the
quality
requirements
and
satisfied
the
minimum
set
threshold
criteria.
What
stood
out
to
us
in
particular,
was
the
project
management
qualifications,
the
appropriately
scaled
team.
In
terms
of
the
services
we
were
asking
to
deliver
the
complete
plan
of
services,
the
understanding
of
the
budgetary
constraints
and
difficulties
working
on
top
of
an
active
highway,
a
unique
project
team
composition
which,
as
I
mentioned,
while
we
are
contracting
with
a
sk+,
they
will
act
as
the
local
project
manager
and
be
involved
during
the
entire
design
process.
O
But
unknown
studio
will
act
as
kind
of
the
design
Landscape
Architect
through
the
schematic
design
process.
They
also
demonstrated
a
strong
understanding
of
state
opportunities
and
challenges
associated
with
the
site
and
really
promised
and
engaging
an
imaginative
project,
our
project
design
that
could
result
in
unique
urban
park
that
complements
the
greenways
existing
park
network.
We
recommend
today
that
the
director
be
authorized
to
enter
into
our
contract
for
consultant
services
with
a
sk+
DBA
as
design
build
for
the
central

study
to
increase
the
contract
amount
by

$1,300
due
to
the
additional
necessary
services
and
to
extend
the
term
of
the
contract
for
three
months.
Dad
good.
P
Afternoon,
director
golden
chair,
Burke
vice-chair
Rojas
and
secretary
Palomas
and
member
support
staff
is
asking
the
board
to
authorize
the
director
to
further
a
manly
ap
mobility
contract
to
increase
the
amount
by
ninety
one
thousand
dollar.
Ninety
one
thousand
three
hundred
dollars
and
extend
the
term
of
the
contract
by
three
months
by
way
of
review
last
fall
that
BPD
a
board
authorized
the
director
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
Kittleson
for
the
ad
mobility
study,
and
shortly
thereafter
we
executed
a
contract
with
Kittleson
in
the
amount
of
500
28,000.
P
The
project
timeline
shows
an
18-month
scheduled
beginning
last
fall
and
ending
in
the
spring
of
2010.
Since
fall,
we've
conducted
to
extensive
rounds
of
public
engagement,
documented
PLAs,
documented
past
planning
initiatives
and
pending
development.
Analyzed
existing
conditions
receive
significant
public
comment
about
challenges
and
concerns
and
establish
goals
for
the
study.
P
This
map
and
chart
illustrate
all
the
locations
in
Allston
Brighton,
where
a
multi,
where
multimodal
transportation
improvement
options
will
be
analyzed
in
our
work
plan.
Given
the
numerous
suggestions
from
the
Austin
Brighton
community
for
desired
mobility
improvements,
the
list
of
potential
transportation
improvements
to
be
modeled
and
evaluation
and
evaluated
is
significantly
larger
than
we
originally
contemplated.
P
P
As
you
may
recall,
BPD
a
planning
will
be
kicking
off
the
Western
Avenue
corridor
study
and
rezoning
and
recognizing
that
the
additional
time
that
will
be
needed
to
conduct
this
study
and
to
understand
the
implications
of
the
Western
Avenue
study
for
the
larger
Alder
all
also
brighton
mobility
network
staff
is
recommending
that
the
term
of
the
AV
mobility
study
be
extended
by
three
months
from
April
30th
to
July
30th
of
2020.
I
would
note
that
the
contract
amendments
I've
outlined
are
additive
to
the
contract.
Amendments
approved
by
the
board
back
in
March
is
indicated.
P
The
amount
of
the
car
of
the
recommended
contract
increase
is
ninety
one
thousand
three
hundred
this
represents
a
seventeen
point.

A
Q
Thank
You
chairman
members
of
the
board
secretary
Palmas
and
director
golden
my
name
is
Lauren
fern
stein.
Today
is
my
first
presentation.
I
am
here
today
to
request
that
fenway
health
be
approved
to
lease
approximately
4,000
square
feet
of
space
and
to
Boylston
the
China
Trade
Center.
Building
the
China
Trade
Center
building
consists
of
85,000
square
feet
of
rentable
space,
most
of
which
is
currently
leased
to
not-for-profit
agencies
serving
the
Chinatown
community,
as
well
as
providing
education
and
health
access
to
the
heart
of
the
city.
Fenway
health
in
this
building
will
be
a
good
fit.
Q
The
mission
of
Henry
Fenway
health
is
consistent
with
the
outreach
and
community
service
agencies
within
the
building.
They
are
a
federally
qualified
health
center
and
research
institution
serving
both
the

Public
Health
to
establish
a
sexually
transmitted
infection
and
HIV
screening
center
called
the

Unlike
other
centers
that
offer
these
services,
the
Center
will
use
the
latest
technology
to
improve
the
ease
and
convenience
of
screening.
The
Center
is
designed
to
be
far
less
formal
than
a
typical
health
clinic
and
will
include
unique
patient,
focused,
innovative
features
such
as
online
appointment,
scheduling,
touchscreen
check-in
and
assessment.
Self-Directed

Thank.
R
You,
mr.
chairman,
in
December
of
2017,
beep,
EDA
and
CVP,
a
change
forge,
LLC
or
I'll
refer
to
as
the
developer
henceforth
executed
a
ground
lease
for
development
of
the
chain.
Forge
building
into
230
room
hotel
under
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
lease
a
developer
would
be
in
default.
In
the
event
they
did
not
obtain
both
building
permits
and
financing.
By
a
date,
certain
in
the
meeting
held
in
April
20
19,
the
board
authorized
an
extension
of
time
to
complete
financing
and
obtain
building
permits
to
July
30th
of
2019.
R
The
developer
is
also
in
the
final
stages
of
negotiation
with
to
investors
to
utilize
the
opportunity's
own
program.
Generally
speaking,
the
opportunity's
own
program
allows
investors
to
reinvest
qualified
capital
gains
from
other
projects
into
projects
in
the
opportunity
zone
as
a
means
of
deferring
capital
gains
taxes.
R
We
all
recognize
and
share
some
frustration
that
we
keep
coming
back
to
request
an
extension,
but
it
truly
is
because
of
our
collective
efforts
to
merge
the
requirements
of
the
National
Park
Service,
the
federal
historic
tax
credit
program
in
the
opportunity
zone,
federal
opportunities
on
program
into
a
single
business
model
in
legal
document.
As
a
result,
the
developers
agreed
to
pay
to
be
PTA
a
non-refundable
fee
of
ninety
five
thousand
dollars
for
the
requested
extension
to
show
both
good
faith
in
evidence
that
these
extensions
are
not
taken
for
granted.
R
S
T
You
say
that
Dennis,
but
for
Dennis,
but
you'll
get
the
question.
I
can
appreciate
the
the
reasons
it
sounds
like
a
tie,
really
developers
control.
Ninety
five
thousand
good
reasons,
there's
been
four
previous
extensions
that
really
had
nothing
to
do
with
your
dick,
but
now
now
it
is
what
exactly
is
gonna
happen
over
the
next
60
days?
My
concern
is
the
same
as
yours.
In
the
sense
of
we
know
that
there's
development,
economic
development
windows
that
are
only
open
for
so
long
and
we
know
they
can
change
quick
I'd
hate
to
miss
this
cycle.
T
S
That's
the
central
question.
So
what
we're
focused
on
now
is
herding,
the
cats
so
to
speak.
We
have
an
equity.
We
have
these
equity
investors
at
denis
reference
that
are
the
opportunities
own
ones.
We
have
a
federal
tax
credit
investor.
We
have
a
first
mortgage
construction
lender.
Ok,
we
have
a
bridge
lender
for
the
tax
credits.
They
are
all
lined
up
now
we're
finishing
up
the
documentation,
because
all
these
things
are
linked
together
and
that
takes
time.
S
I
know
it's
a
legal
bonanza
as
you
as
you
might
expect,
but
that's
the
time
we
need
to
get
there.
We
have
a
GMP
lined
up
with
consigue,
so
all
those
things
are
in
place.
We
just
need
the
time
because
it's
so
complicated
to
document
in
the
opportunity
zone
is
so
new.
Some
of
this
is
we're
learning
on
the
fly.
T
S
T
T
S
S
S
So
all
these
investors
that
we've
got
lined
up
that
we're
bringing
together
all
created,
gains
over
the
past
six
months
that
they
need
180
days
then
to
deploy
or
buy
the
euro.
So
we've
set
up
the
opportunities
owned
entities.
We've
set
up
the
opportunities
own
business
for
the
Navy
Yard
to
take
that
money
in
thank.
A
G
V
You,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board
secretary
Palermo
center
director
golden,
we
came
to
you
in
April
of
this
year
to
request
the
final
designation
of
P
3
partners
as
three
developer
of
parcel
P
3
in
relation
to
the
proposed
tramonto
singing
project.
Since
the
time
of
that
designation,
the
development
team
has
been
working
with
BPD,
a
staff
and
other
city
partners
BPD
in
particular
on
the
negotiations
related
to
the
lease
for
that
property.
V
In
addition,
the
development
team
has
received
approval
on
the
zoning
from
the
Boston
Zoning
Commission,
as
well
as
has
been
noted
before
work
with
the
Boston
Water
and
Sewer
Commission
on
the
easements
related
to
the
proposed
sewer
relocation.
One
of
the
significant
components-
that's
part
of
the
lease
negotiation
is
the
finalization
of
the
actual
square
footage
with
the
water
and
sewer
approvals
and
the
public
Improvement
Commission
work.
That's
been
done
on
the
actual
site.
V
So
the
now
the
components
of
the
lease
will
comprise
approximately
two
point:
1
million
square
feet:
that's
definitively
articulated
in
the
lease
that's
being
negotiated.
Now
we're
requesting
this
extension
to
the
final
designation
to
allow
time
for
the
completion
of
lease
negotiations,
with
the
expectation
that
at
least
will
be
executed
fairly
soon,
thereby
allowing
the
development
team
to
move
forward
with
the
very
important
work
of
site,
preparation
to
start
the
project.
V
Addition
to
some
of
the
next
steps
that
we
are
anticipating
over
the
next
several
months.
Very
soon.
Our
updates
to
the
rocks
prestige,
master
plan,
Oversight
Committee
in
particular
the
project
review
committee,
for
which
there
is
a
meeting
scheduled
on
July
24th,
during
which
the
development
team
will
articulate
and
explain.
Many
of
the
pardon
me
remediation
activities
that
will
be
undertaken
to
be
in
compliance
with
the
mass
Department
of
Environmental
Protection.
V
This
is
a
public
involvement
process
project
by
virtue
of
the
amount
of
environmental
review
that
needs
to
get
taken,
so
that
will
be
or
part
of
the
review
for
the
July
24th
PRC
meeting.
In
addition
to
other
related
project
updates,
we
we
have
this
down
on
the
staff
level
and
senior
leadership
at
the
agency,
deemed
that
this
particular
extension
is
appropriate.
Given
the
amount
of
progress
being
made
by
the
development
team.
In
collaboration
with
BP,
DEA
and
other
city
partners,
I'll
conclude
my
remarks.
V
A
W
X
Afternoon,
chairman
Burke

Madam

members
of
the
board,
the
Avalon
North

a
number
of
iterations,

We
recently
conducted
a

and
we
determined
it
was
completing

with
the
approved
plans.
Therefore,
we're
here
to
request
a

of
completion.
Okay,.

Okay,.
Z
Good
afternoon,
director
golden
chairman
of
the
board
and
secretary
diplomas,
my
name's
Patrick
Mahoney,
and
the
attorney
for
the
project
at
1:42
old
call
me
the
the
parcel
at
142
Old
Colony
is
approximately
3,300
Square
feet.
It's
located,
one
block
in
from
D
Street
and
Old
Colony.
As
seen
here,
the
parking
will
be
accessed,
14
semi-automated
parking
spaces
access
from
the
rear
on
ninth
Street.
It's
a
five
story
proposed
building
with
19
rental
units,
which
are
smaller
than
the
area
median
standard.
Z
These
a
picture
of
the
existing
building,
the
which
is
a
currently
underutilized
site
for
glass,
service
installation
and
the
height
of
the
building,
was
determined
just
here.
Initially,
the
planning
initiative
is
60
feet.
There
are
a
number
of
zoning
variances
required
for
this,
although
it
does
meet,
the
Dorchester
have
planning
initiative
and
the
height
is
matching
the
existing
building
erected
about
two
years
ago
on
the
left
at
the
corner
of
Dean.
We'll
call
me
the
exterior
siding
is
the
same
on
the
front,
and
this
is
the
ninth
Street,
where
the
parking
would
be
accessed
location.
Z
K
Z
They're
in
19
units
and
14
spaces,
so
it's
less
parking
that
would
be
required
under
the
current
basis,
owning
the
there
was
a
bit
of
a
concern.
It's
the
number
of
parking
spaces.
Initially,
the
development
team
came
in
with
a
lower
number
of
parking
spaces.
They
chose
a
semi,
automated
lift
system,
which
is
essentially
a
one
up,
one
down
shuffle
type
system,
but
it
is
open
to
the
air.
It's
one,
there's
two
manufacturers
that
make
it
in
the
area.
Z
One
is
city,
lift
another
one
is
harding
steel
both
have
been
used
in
both
I
believe
our
signatory
to
the
elevator
Union,
and
a
couple
of
one
sit
to
give
two
examples
that
the
board
has
seen
before
that
are
now
in
operation.
There's
one
at
39,
a
street
which
is
City,
lift
and
Harding.
Steel
has
a
parking
one
at
the
Eddy,
which
is
626
new
Street.
So
those
are
two
examples
of
this
type
of
system
with
a
rental
building
that
is
residential
use
with
19
units.
Z
A
lot
of
traffic
engineer,
but
based
on
other
larger
projects
and
I,
think
it's
approximately
for
vehicle
trips
per
hour
and
peak
times.
So
the
two-minute
lead
time
it
takes
to
get
your
vehicle
I
think
is
sufficient.
It
does
work
for
residential
applications
very
very
well
if
it
was
a
higher
use
like
a
shopping
mall
with
a
fork
car
hi.
This
is
a
three
car
I
think
there
might
be
some
concern,
but
I
don't
think
there
is
one
in
this
case.

members
of

advisory
group
for
their
time
and
efforts
through
this
article
ad
review
process.
Their
commitment
to
their
neighbourhood
and
dedication
to
the
city
of
Boston
is
greatly
appreciated.
AD
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Andrew,
dank
Worth
and
with
Pembroke
real
estate,
I'd
like
to
take
you
through
a
few
of
the
images,
I
think
you're
somewhat
familiar
with
these.
As
we
move
through
from
a
team
standpoint,
we
have
aligned
ourselves
with
a
terrific
team.
One
of
the
points
I
want
to
make
that
we
have
been
working
very
closely
with
Massport
the
owner
of
the
land
and
we
have
benefited
I
think
greatly
from
their
input
in
terms
of
public
realm
and
a
number
of
other
issues.
AD
The
big
story
about
this
project
today
is
it's
under
utilization.
It
is
at
the
end
of
it's
essentially
a
useful
life,
it's
a
inhospitable
sort
of
back
office,
sort
of
experience
and
what
we
see
is
enormous
potential
not
just
to
revitalize
a
workplace
experience,
but
also
to
revitalize
a
waterfront
experience.
AD
These
are
kind
of
the
five
major
components,
but
not
in
any
particular
order.
We
never
lost
sight
and
we
will
continue
to
not
lose
sight
of
the
origins
and
the
marine
operations,
both
commercial
sense,
but
also
from
the
activation
of
those
and
making
sure
that
the
current
marine
tenants
operate
during
construction.
The
building
is
historically
listed.
We
feel
that
we,
our
team,
has
come
up
with
a
very
sensitive
and
appropriate
response
for
the
historic
component,
the
public
realm
and
urban
design.
AD
Improvements
is
probably
one
of
the
biggest
features
of
this
property
and
the
end
of
design,
what's
currently
so
inhospitable
to
walk
along
the
harbor
front.
If
any
of
you
have
done
it,
it's
1,200
feet
long
and
about
300
feet
across
and
another
1,200
feet
long
and
there's
really
nothing
there,
except
you
know
occasional
views
outward.
AD
The
first
thing
was,
as
I
said,
was
to
preserve
and
promote
what
we
feel
is.
Is
you
know
its
origins
and
its
commercial
industrial
use
down
there?
We
are
upgrading
we're
widening
the
the
apron
extensions,
we're
creating
apron
extensions
that
alleviates
some
of
the
throat
problems
of
getting
enough
people
off
of
Seaport
Boulevard
and
end
to
the
Harbor
walk,
because,
right
now,
it's
quite
narrow.
It
also
helps
us
solve
some
of
the
transportation
issues,
the
the
waiting
and
seating
areas
that
we'll
be
creating
for
a
water
shuttle.
AD
I,
don't
know
if
this
has
I
don't
want
to
push
it,
but
there's
a
little
purple
dot
in
that
in
the
top
corner.
In
that
green
space,
that's
a
ticketing
office
for
the
the
current
commercial
water
tenants.
We
have
also
a
new
facility
for
a
future
water
shuttle
that
we
think
would
work
really
well
to
plug
in
to
the
North
Station
route
and
help
some
of
that
traffic
issues
that
affect
everybody.
AD
Some
of
the
images,
if
its
origins,
but
you
can
see
that
the
profile
of
this
building
the
clear
clear
story,
the
warehouse,
the
mercantile
origins,
is
something
that
we
really
wanted
to
build
upon
in
the
actual
floor
plan.
What's
really
the
big
story
here,
I
think,
is
the
activation
of
seaport
Boulevard
by
moving
all
the
loading
docks
out
of
those
that
Blue
Zone
and
into
a
consolidated
loading
area
in
gray?
Is
it's
the
large
public
event
space
by
retiring,
the
exhibit
hall?
AD
It
opens
up
a
quite
a
large
space
for
public
activity
and
programming,
and
then
these
niches,
so
that
there
is
something
to
do
as
you
walk
along
the
harbor
front
on
the
upper
level.
The
the
big
move
here
is
to
consolidate
our
event
space.
That's
spread
out
throughout
the
building
right
now
and
bring
that
closer
up
to
the
front
of
the
building.
Also,
we've
been
diligent
and
activating
the
the
viaduct
itself
so
that
there's
activity
it's
not
about
cars
and
trucks
anymore.
It's
about
people,
so
the
plaza
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
scale.
AD
AD
AD
So
it's
all
public
space
up
there
it
has
been,
but
now
it
has
a
people,
have
a
reason
to
be
there.
On
the
North
Pier
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
how
to
activate
that.
We
are
very
focused
on
that
element
and
giving
people
a
destination,
iconic
art
sized
art.
You
know
the
selfie
sort
of
scale
things
that
we
could
put
at
the
corners
to
draw
people
down,
but
also
seating,
and
some
landscaping
will
also
be
complementing
this
with
a
very
in-depth
wayfinding
program.
AD
As
I
mentioned,
the
Seaport
Boulevard,
we
were
looking
to
do
more
cohesive
retail
plan
and
again
it's
much
more
pedestrian
oriented
from
a
resiliency
standpoint.
We've
been
working
to
a
2070
benchmark
in
terms
of
resiliency
and
the
primary
way
that
we're
achieving
this
is
to
build
up
a
continuous
up
stand
around
the
building
and
that
building
up
stand
is
set
at
the
27
T
mark
of
21.6
boston
city
base.
We
are
also
reconstructing
the
apron
and
the
leading
edge
of
that
apron
will
have
sufficient
reinforcement
for
future
crash
barriers
as
well.
AD
N
A
very
large
and
significant
parcel,
my
recollection,
is
that
I
was
once
told
that
if
this
building
were
stood
on
its
end,
it
would
be
as
tall
as
the
Hancock,
Tower
and,
and
it's
been
used
for
many
years
as
a
conference
and
convention
either
center
or
affiliate
of
the
Convention.
Center
and
you've
got
a
very
creative
team
here,
but
I'm
still
not
sure,
I
understand
what
exactly
the
interior
spaces
are
going
to
be
used
for
a
you.
N
AD
The
the
prime
use
of
this
building
is
is
office,
space,
our
tenant,
our
sole
tenant,
fidelity
investments
will
be
taking
that
space.
The
event
space,
the
the
first-class
event
space
is
really
a
consolidation
and
a
rebuilding
of
the
assorted
ballrooms
that
are
around
in
all
the
meeting
spaces
that
exist,
but
they're
spread
out
all
over
the
floor
plate
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
consolidate
that
bring
it
up
closer,
but
those
are
all
available
for
the
public
to
rent.
They
are
the
same
ballrooms
or
they're
for
weddings
and
events.
AD
There's
also
space
downstairs
in
some
of
the
staging
areas.
That's
it's
a
little
purple
strip
in
front
of
the
the
plaza
itself,
but
the
the
retail
on
the
upper
level.
We
are
looking
at
restaurant
space,
there's
more
event,
space
in
the
arches
on
the
right
side
and
then
the
ground-floor
retail.
The
activation
is
around
primarily
on
the
exterior
here
for
the
niches
and
the
end.
The
public
waterfront.
AD
Our
traffic
studies
there's
a
marginal
increase,
but
that's
offset
quite
a
bit
by
the
the
issues
that
I
mentioned
before
by
pulling
off
the
loading
off
of
the
street
and
widening
the
neck,
so
that
people
don't
spill
out
there.
We
think
we're
going
to
get
a
lot
more
people
down
here
for
sure,
but
we're
going
to
be
accommodating
them.
The
seaport
parking
garage
that
we
have
across
the
street
has
more
than
enough
capacity
for
parking,
but
we've
also
made
accommodations
for
drop-off
and
staging
areas
of
rideshare
and.
AD
N
AD
AD
N
AD
Don't
have
control
of
the
land
out
there.
That's
actually
mass
ports.
I
know
what's
important
to
them
is
the
we
are
not
putting
in
bike
lanes
along
that
section
because
of
the
conflict,
as
we
understand
it
with
the
large
trucks
that
are
down
there.
So
from
our
standpoint,
we're
providing
on-site
accommodations,
but
it
doesn't
link
up
in
a
drive
to
some
of
the
other
bike
lanes.
So.
AD
AF
I
think
really
directive
development
view
here
at
the
BPD.
A
I
think
I
think
the
the
proponent
here
should
be
commended
on
the
type
of
project
they're
doing
holistically.
It's
a
it's
taking
an
existing
asset
that
was
repurposed
and
revitalized
decades
ago
and
doing
the
same
thing
today.
Additionally,
the
focus
on
a
commercial
center,
enhanced
environmental
resilience
is
extinct
really
really
important
is
is
an
example
for
in
significant
public
space.
That
being
said
for
a
major
employment
center
to
sit
on
a
Boulevard
that
does
not
have
full
bike.
AF
We
would
urge
the
proponent
here,
Pembroke
and
fidelity
to
continue
to
advocate,
in
partnership
with
the
city
Massport,
on
delivering
those
Complete
Streets
in
delivering
on
the
promise
of
this
evolving
neighborhood,
as
it
shifts
from
a
purely
commercial
corridor
to
a
place
where
we
move
all
types
of
people
in
all
modes
of
transit.
So
that's
something
that
we
certainly
probate
appreciate
your
your
comments
here
tonight
in
your
advocacy
on
that
issue
and-
and
you
have
our
commitment-
that
we
will
continue
to
push
Massport
to
to
deliver
those
21st
century
streets.
Thank
you
are.
T
Right
more
of
a
comic
Jonathan,
you
said
it
much
better
than
I.
Could
I
worked
in
that
building
32
years
ago
on
that
major
renovation
for
Bennett
electric
companies,
but
that
building
is
a
very
difficult
building,
mainly
all
the
columns
that
you
have
and
it's
just
not
set
up
today
to
be
conducive
to
an
office,
but
you've
done
the
best
you
could
I
think
this
is
great.
T
D
Have
a
question
I
think
the
Seaport
is
comes
under
some
criticism
for
being
a
white
luxury
space
and
I'm
wondering
how
intentional
what
is
going
to
be
your
strategy
strategically,
to
make
this
an
inclusive
and
diverse
space,
with
all
your
new
public
realm
and
your
waterfront,
and
how?
What
is
your
intention
and
strategy
to
do
that?
We.
AD
So
we
will
have
a
public
well
full-time,
wouldn't
call
it
community
liaison
manager
who
will
be
helping
us
to
manage
these
spaces,
but
also
to
reach
out
to
various
groups
and
through
not
only
our
internal
diversity,
inclusion
group
within
fidelity,
but
also
some
of
the
community
groups,
to
make
sure
that
we
work
toward
programming
events.
That's
inclusive,
we'll
also
be
looking
at
some
of
the
retail
to
see
if
there's
some
element
of
the
retail
leasing
that
could
be
also
made
available
to
people
that
normally
wouldn't
be
able
to
be
in
this
location.
AD
One
of
the
things
I
do
want
to
say
at
the
onset
of
the
project
we've
taken
mass
ports,
great
sort
of
program
that
they
established
on
the
Omni
of
requiring
a
joint
venture
between
the
general
contractor
and
I
minority-owned
general
contractor.
It's
very
successful
on
that
and
we
see
the
value
that
that
brings
to
opening
up
do
in
the
future
for
other
large
projects.
So
that
is
a
very
strong
commitment.
We've
made
great.
N
AD
Basically,
the
building
today
the
apron
is
right
about
17.9
elevation
BCD,
the
water's
pretty
long
below
was
below
that,
but
we
think
the
2070
mark
is
going
to
be
around
20
and
a
half
feet
and
what
that
means
is
we
need
to
create
essentially
a
bathtub
on
this.
We
can't
raise
the
the
floor
of
the
building.
It's
the
soils,
wouldn't
take
it
and
would
mean
demolishing
the
whole
building.
So
what
we're
doing
essentially
is
building
a
bathtub
wall
that
is
cast
with
the
new
apron.
AD
Concrete
comes
up
to
a
height
outside
it's
quite
tall
inside
it's
not
as
tall
because
we
have
raised
floor
and
other
pumping
and
and
resiliency
measures
at
openings,
we'll
be
deploying
barriers,
deployable
barriers,
but
we've
really
tried
to
limit
that
because
of
the
success
of
large
deployables
in
a
timely
fashion
is
not
realistic
for
us
there's
also
the
element
of
future
planning
when
there
is
a
district
solution.
What
we've
been
looking
at
is
not
doing
anything
that
would
preclude
that
from
happening.
That's
very
important
to
us
as
that
discussion
evolved
'z
thanks.
A
Okay,
there's
no
further
questions
and
emotions
in
order;
second,
second,
all
those
in
favor.
Congratulations.

concerned

thing
that
we
think
is
important:
the
front
entry
is
roughly
in
the
middle

the
building.
It
will
be
fully
glazed
again
to
make
it
more

a
four-story,
approximately

foot
tall,
residential
building,
totaling
approximately
5,000
820
square

rental

is
designed
out
of
the
compact
living
policy
approved
by
this
board
in
October
2018.
Ordinarily,
a
project
of
this
size
would
not
be
subject
to
small
project
review.
AJ
However,
the
compact
living
policy
requires
any
compact
project
under
the
excuse
me,
under
the
small
project
review
thresholds
of
either
15
units
or
20,000
square
feet,
to
opt
into
small
project
review,
to
facilitate
a
community
process
and
a
design
review
of
the
unit
sizes
and
shared
amenities

filed
a
small

review
application

meeting
was
well
attended

many

expressed
their
strong
support
for
the
project.

The
proponent
Vivian

is
a
local
business
owner
and
intends
to
rent
these
units
for
six
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
to
$850
a
month.
The
proponent
has
agreed
to
rent
the
two
required
inclusionary
development
policy
units
to
individuals
earning
up
to
50%
of
the
area
median
income
rather
than
the
standard
70%,

make
the
IDP
units
more
in
line
with
the
goals
of
the
unrestricted
units.

proposed
design
there's
a
street
entrance
at
grade

side

an
access
path
along
the
west
edge

abuts
the

the

Looking
over
that
community
garden,
the
no
fences
proposed
at
that
rear
edge
of
the

because
there's
currently
141
West
Hills,
currently
used
as
it
cut
through
from
Geneva

to
Westville,

and
Vivian
will
maintain
that
access

people
will
be
directed
to
the
west
side
pathway
along
the
property
edge.

That's
shown
on
the
this

plan

floor
plan
has
two
Group
one
accessible
units,
as
well
as
the
common
amenity
space.
I
have
a
diagram
later.
That
explains
what
those
are,
so
the
exterior
elevations
we've
kept
the
exterior
fairly
simple
and
minimal,
with
there's
a
concern
for
upfront
cost,
as
well
as
long-term
ease
of
maintenance
and
costs
operating
costs
going
forward.
AL
There
is
a
siting
change

level

we're
still
in
design
review
with
with
our
team
right
now
on
that
map

So
it's
where

three
five
miles
from
the
red

at
the
field
to
our
MBTA
Red
Line
stop,
which
also
has
blue
bike
racks
and
also
along
Geneva
Ave.
There
are
several
bus
stations
and
also
close
walking
distance
to
fields
corner
so
on.
The
right
shows
the
the
shared

men
and
meet
amenities
on
the

AL
There's
a
common
lounge,
there's
indoor

parking
and
a

on-site
laundry
and
then
the
rear
edge
shows
the
there's
an
outdoor
patio
270
square
foot
outdoor
patio
that
abuts
that
community

So
the
space
is
sort
of
flowed
together
back
there,
and
these
are
just
two
typical

AL
Layouts,
the

the
one
on
the
right
is
a
typical
upper

unit
with
the
same

showing
two
different
furniture
configurations,
and
then
these
are
photos
of
the
model
unit
that
Vivian

and
that's
it
any
questions.
Okay,.
G
A
A

I'm
gonna
go

the
presentation.
Thank.
Y
You
mr.
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary
I
first
like
to
introduce
a
letter
that
just
came
in
by
hand
from
the
Woodhaven
Kolber
Kolbert
Regis
Neighborhood
Association.
It's
a
letter
of
support
for
the
project.
The
proposed
project
was
previously
approved
by
BPD
a
board
on
April
14th
2016.
Y
The
board
authorized
director
to
adopt
the
report
and
decision
approving
the
original
proposed
project
under
a
121,
a
issuing
a
scope
and
determination
waiving
further
review
issuing
a
certification
of
compliance
and
entering
in
and
executing
a
cooperation
agreement,
Boston
residents
and
construction
and
employment
plan
due
to
the
circumstances
due
to
certain
delays
in
finalizing
funding.
The
proposed
project
on
April
2016
report
and
decision
automatically
terminated
on
March
31st
2018.
Y
Y
As
a
result
of
the
request
to
have
two
separate
ownership
owners
that
the
purple
scuse
me
as
a
result
of
the
request
to
have
two
separate
owners,
the
proponent
on
June
27th
of
this
year,
ie,
the
applicants
submitted
a
notice
of
project
change
letter
to
the
BPA.
Pursuant
to
the
notice
of
project
change.
Application
explained
the
change
in
ownership
structure
necessitated
by
the
financing
structure
of
the
proposed
project.
Y
AM
AM
You've
heard
this
before,
due
to
some
of
the
financing
that's
occurring
at
the
state
level
and
the
combination
of
4%
and
9%
tax
credits.
We're
now
here
requesting
121
a
approval
for
kind
of
a
single
application
on
behalf
of
two
applicants
to
separate
limited
partnerships.
So
that's
the
Cody
village,
limited
partnership
and
the
Cody
Village
townhomes
limited
partnership.
The
project
itself
has
changed.
I'm
gonna
introduce
Dave
akin
in
just
a
moment
to
explain
the
project,
give
you
kind
of
a
an
update.
AM
There
was
a
sunset
provision
that
Lance
referred
to
in
the
2016
approval,
and
so
the
the
120
Monet
approvals
actually
had
expired,
which
is
why
we
needed
to
do
a
new
application,
as
opposed
to
an
amendment
to
the
application.
The
project
was
formally
approved
for
article
80
and
so
we're
here
with
nervous,
oppressive
change
again
to
add
the
to
limited
partnership
entities
who
will
be
taking
on
the
role
of
developer
of
the
project.
AM
You
know
it's
terrific,
that
the
city
is
so
vibrant
with
respect
to
construction
workers
and
financing,
but
that
does
make
it
competitive
and
that's
really
the
reason
why
there's
been
a
delay
on
timing.
We
are
thrilled
that
we
have
the
commitments
now
that
the
project
is
going
to
proceed
and
move
forward
and
to
tell
you
the
details,
I'd
like
to
introduce
Dave
akin
from
the
Planning
Office
for
urban
affairs.
Thank.
AN
Thank
You
chairman
Burke
members
of
the
board
secretary,
miss
David,
akin
senior
project
manager
at
the
planning
office
for
urban
affairs
and
I'm,
leading
the
technical
aspects
of
bringing
the
project
to
fruition,
joined
here
by
Donald
Alexis.
The
president
of
Caribbean
integration,
Community
Development,
our
partner
in
this
and
Bill
Grogan.
Our
new
president
of
the
planning
office
for
urban
affairs,
Cody
village,
remains
a
76
unit
development
at
the
corner
of
Cummins
Highway
and
Regis
Road.
AN
The
program
means
the
same
as
it's
been
all
along
since
2016,
the
building
heights,
the
design,
layouts
number
of
apartments
and
bedrooms.
An
amount
of
parking
has
not
changed
since
the
original
approvals
as
roof
Suleman
indicated
were
simply
carving
up
at
this
time
to
two
applicants
for
purposes
of
financing,
which
was
not
contemplated
at
the
time
of
the
original
approvals
as
necessary
to
enable
us
to
close
on
our
financing
and
start
construction
later
this
summer.
G
AN
The
site
plan
here
that
landscape
the
the
presentation
you'll
see
that
the
left
side
of
the
site
is
what
was
carved
up
into
one
applicant
and
the
right
side
is
the
second
applicant.
The
left
side
is
52
units,
commercial
space,
community
space
and
the
right
side
of
the
image
there.
The
Regis
Road
parcel
is
24
units
of
all
affordable
housing,
along
with
parking
and
outdoor
amenity
space,
we're
keenly
aware
and
how
important
it
is
to
bring
the
Cody
Ford
dealership
property
back
online.
AN
The
new
MBTA,
our
MBTA
Fairmount
station
is
open
and
the
property
is
certainly
an
eyesore
is
a
very
complicated
city-owned
property
to
work
with
and
a
very
old
dealership,
and
we
are
excited
that
we
can
bring
bring
it
back
by
breaking
ground
in
the
coming
months.
Again,
there's
great
news
that
the
construction
market
is
so
strong
in
Boston
and
the
firms
of
construction
workers
have
been
so
busy,
but
this
is
met
has
taken
longer
for
us
to
pull
together
the
financing
to
get
the
project
underway.
So
with
that,
we're
certainly
happy
to
take
any
questions.
AN
A
AB
A
AO
Chairman
and
other
board
members,
my
name
is
Charles
Cole
field.
I
am
a
proud
member
of
the
Carpenters
Union
for
33
years,
and
this
is
a
historical
job
for
us,
with
it
being
100
percent
Union,
as
well
as
a
hundred
percent.
Affordable
Mattapan
is
over
joy
to
have
a
hundred
percent
affordable
right
beside
commuter
rail.
AO
Almost
unheard
of
we
should
use
this
as
a
model
for
other
contractors
and
developers
to
see
that
this
can
be
done
and
we'll
keep
some
of
the
community
groups
happy
by
knowing
that
we
can
do
more
affordable
units
other
than
the
thirteen
percent
that
everybody
else
is
doing
this
the
model
for
the
city
to
see
and
to
follow.
We
stand
in
favor
of
this
project
with
the
copier.
Thank
you,
okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thanks
for
coming.
AP
AP
I
live
in
Dorchester
and
I,
see
the
rents
around
me
that
how
expensive
they
are
to
actually
live
there
in
those
in
these
neighborhoods,
the
prices
are
going
up
and
up
and
up
so
this
just
makes
sense
real
practical
sense
for
people
who
want
to
maintain
residency
inside
of
Mattapan
Dorchester,
Roxbury
neighborhood,
so
I
stand
here,
as
also
as
a
representative
of
the
wood-frame
local,
who
will
probably
will
participate
in
this
program
with
members
of
that
local
that
are
very
diverse
in
the
community.
So
we
had
two
things
to
this
project.
AP
A
You
gonna
speak
and
we're
gonna
hold
off
because
for
people
that
are
in
opposition,
so
right
now
we're
taking
comments
from
people
that
are
in
favor
of
this.
Okay,
so
just
sit
tight,
we'll
get
to
you,
but
I
want
to
just
do
this
in
order
so
that
everyone
has
a
fair
chance.
Is
there
anyone
else
that
would
like
to
speak
in
favor
of
this
go
right.
Go
please
step
right
up
anyone
else
that
would
like
to
speak
in
favor,
speak
dude,
good,.

AR
I

we
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
with
the
developers
and
being
a
part
of
the
process,
because
that
lot
has
been
that
property
has
been
and
I
saw
in
our

for
a
long
long
time,
and
so
we

anxious
to
see
this
move
forward.
We
think
it
betters
our

There
is
a
support
and
we

this
would
be

as

coming
forward
to
be
a
hun
percent
affordable.
It's
under
like
you've
heard
before
about
this
I,
think
it's
very,
very
amazing
that
they
can
done
this
and
be
a
hundred
percent
affordable.
If
you
see
around
the
city,
a
lot
of
the
other
companies
do
try
to
do
13
percent
and
even
that
they're,
not
using
a
hundred
percent
legit

So
I

that's
amazing!

AE
AE
Sytze
CC
&,
kk
CC
is
the
data
sciences
building
both
located
in
the
core.
The
academic
core
of
the
campus
CC
has
been
a
project
site
for
us,
since
the
very
first
institutional
master
plan
back
in
86,
with
the
opportunity
to
build
a
significant
academic
building
on
that
site.
Kk
is
at
Warren
towers
the
monstrosity
of
dormitories
right
across
the
street,
and
you
can
see
this
from
this
aerial,
not
only
how
it
is
in
the
center
of
the
academic
core,
but
the
surface
parking
lot.
AE
The
institutional
master
plan
amendment
is
going
to
address
a
number
of
different
things.
Really.
The
first
is
the
increase
in
site
by
about
5,700
square
feet
during
design
review
with
the
staff.
We
all
agreed
that
the
public
realm
would
be
would
be
improved
if
we
slid
the
building
towards
the
north,
creating
a
wider
Commonwealth
Avenue
experience
because
of
a
very
aggressive
and
successful
transportation
demand
management
plan.
We
simply
don't
need
the
parking
spaces
that
we
once
thought
we
would
need
to
develop
through
the
years
so
parking
is
eliminated
here.
AE
Also
through
the
design
of
this
building.
You
know
developing
from
an
institutional
master
plan
notion
the
building's
mass
has
been
reconfigured,
so
the
added
height
input
in
terms
of
both
floors
and
feet.
We
believe
benefits
the
opportunities
for
development
on
this
site
and,
lastly,
at
the
bottom.
Really,
what
we're
talking
about
is
a
change
in
technology
going
from
the
age-old
poster
boards
that
line
so
many
places
to
the
technology
of
digital
screens
that
the
contents
the
same.
AE
The
purpose
is
the
same:
to
communicate
the
activities
of
the
campus
to
members
of
the
campus
community,
the
project
goals
to
develop
a
hub
for
data
sciences.
Right
now,
the
departments
are
scattered
across
the
campus
in
about
five
or
six
different
locations,
so
bringing
them
one
under
one
roof
really
supports
the
collaboration
that's
needed
in
these
disciplines.
AE
This
is
the
largest
development
of
classroom
space
that
we've
done
in
the
last
25
years,
and
it
really
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
design
those
types
of
classrooms
that
the
pedagogy
need
to
have
today.
It's
also
a
great
opportunity
to
create
something
very
exciting,
both
for
the
campus
and
skyline
of
Boston.
But
most
exciting
is
how
this
building
will
become
a
leader
in
sustainable
design
for
the
city.
AE
AE
Just
to
add
to
that
today,
the
grant
activity
in
these
departments
is
about
10
million
dollars
and
with
the
development
of
this
building,
we
certainly
expect
that
to
grow
because
of
the
added
opportunities
available
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Paulo
Rocha
principal
from
KPM,
be
our
architects.
Okay,
thank
you.
AV
Thank
you.
Mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board,
I'll
try
and
be
brief.
I
know
this
has
been
a
long
night
for
you
all.
As
Paul
mentioned,
the
the
the
data
Science
Center
is
located
at
the
corner
of
Granby
and
Commonwealth
Avenue.
It
sits
at
the
heart
of
the
campus
and
it
bridges
the
historic
district
to
the
east
and
the
rest
of
the
campus
to
the
west.
AV
Just
some
quick,
existing
site
conditions
of
the
surface
parking
and
the
alley
which
we
are
revitalizing.
The
building
was
conceived
as
a
vertical
campus.
We've
stacked
neighborhoods
of
two
and
three-story
volumes
that
that
shift
to
create
opportunities
for
opened
collaboration,
spaces
on
all
sides
of
the
building.
AV
A
view
of
Commonwealth
Avenue
in
elevation,
looking
straight
on
dust
just
showing
the
porosity
of
the
building,
we've
really
spent
a
lot
of
time
looking
at
this
building
in
the
round
and
changing
the
paradigm
of
the
buildings
on
campus
to
be
an
extroverted
building,
a
building
that
shows
shows
the
program
out
to
the
city
in
the
street
a
view
of
the
building
in
context
to
the
campus
and
the
city.
In
the
background
taken
from
Essex
and
the
ground
plane,
we've
really
looked
at
this
building
in
the
round
a
building
a
360
degrees.
AV
Looking
to
the
front
entrance,
looking
eat
north
east
of
you
looking
north
on
Commonwealth
Avenue
of
the
front
entrance,
and
here
you
can
see
the
glazed
portion
of
of
the
ground-floor
is
structurally
glaze.
No
millions,
and
the
idea
is
that
we're
trying
to
blur
the
line
between
inside
and
outside
as
much
as
possible,
so
that
that
Granby
Plaza
stretches
from
Granby
all
the
way
to
the
core
that
you
see
on
the
right
side.
So
you
really
feel
that
interior
and
exterior
space.
AV
AV
This
is
a
an
image
of
the
laneway
looking
east
or
looking
west,
or
to
the
Arts
and
Science
Building
in
the
background
not
Granby,
just
showing
how
we're
revitalizing
the
laneway.
So
there's
a
vehicle
error
lane
and
then
on
the
right
adjacent
to
the
road
trees
is
a
pedestrian
walkway
with
access
to
the
backs
of
the
Bay
State
Road
houses
on
the
right
up.
The
stairs
is
the
back
courtyard
and
a
view
from
Cambridge
at
the
BU
bridge.
AE
Thank
you
in
just
a
couple
of
shots
about
the
signs
so
right
across
the
street
Warren
tower's
the
locations
for
the
signs,
the
above
is
the
existing.
The
lower
is
the
proposed
Digital
same
size,
same
location,
same
message
and
content,
it's
technology
and
it's
about
four
and
a
half
feet
wide
or
across
the
top,
and
about
six
feet
tall
again,
filling
that
that
space.
That
is
the
paper
slides
today
in
that
concludes
our
presentation.
Okay,.

A
U
AW
This
building
will
transform
a
surface
parking
lot
into
a
vibrant
space,
with
an
enhanced
public
realm,
making
it
much
more
engaging
for
pedestrians,
students
and
community
members.
Since
the
initial
filing
for
the
data
Science
Center
last
fall,
there
have
been
two
public
meetings
and
three
task
force
meetings,
the
most
recent
being
the
6th
of
June,
where
the
members
unanimously
voted
to
support
this
project,
along
with
the
5th
amendment
to
the
Boston
University
master
plan.
AW
AU
AX
Good
evening,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Chris
Strang
and
I'm,
a
longtime
resident
of
Kenmore
Square
I'm.
Also
a
member
of
the
BU
community
task
force
I'm
here
to
speak
in
strong
support
of
the
proposed
new
building
and
specifically
to
praise
BU
for
prioritizing
sustainability
as
they
construct
a
unique
and
precedent-setting
building
in
our
community.
The
investments
in
sustainable
technologies
will
allow
the
data
Sciences
Center,
to
use
geothermal
heating
and
cooling
for
the
building.
AX
I
appreciate
the
innovative
design
and
that
the
university
wants
to
make
a
state-of-the-art
building
in
my
neighborhood
I
believe
it
will
be
a
wonderful
addition
to
Commonwealth
Avenue
and
Kenmore
Square
I
hope
that
the
BPD
a
board
will
vote
in
support
of
the
project
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
as
a
task
force.
Member
going
forward
and
it's
a
side
note
I
also
approve
of
the
new
signage
on
the
building
across
the
street.
Thank
you
thank.
A
A
AE
Simply
because
I'm
not
an
engineer
in
the
alley
under
the
parklet
on
Granby
and
Bay
State
Road
we're
going
to
be
installing
31
wells
that
go
down
1500
feet.
Bac
did
that
23,
2014
I!
Think
the
calculations
are
it's
a
tight
site,
so
we
have
to
go
1,500
feet
deep
to
get
the
thermal
transfer
from
the
from
the
bedrock.
AE
AE
Up
in
this
fluid
goes
down,
one
fluid
goes
down,
transfers
to
a
more
moderate
temperature
comes
back
up
and
it's
the
it's,
the
cutting
the
curse.
If
you
will
from
the
warm
temperatures
of
today
or
the
cold
temperatures
of
February
into
something
that
the
electrical
system
can
manage
from
I,
think
it's
55
degrees
is
the
nominal
temperature
down
there
yeah
so
to
take
it
from
55
to
whatever
the
building's
calling
for.
AE
K
AE
AE
AE
AE
There's
never
zero,
but
there's
near
zero
risk
to
the
environment
that
the
calculation.
The
reason
why
I
write
31
in
this
area
is
I
mean
there's
a
whole
calculation
of
how
close
you
can
be.
How
far
you
have
to
be,
how
much
coverage
I'm
looking
at
dr.
Lin's
walk
because
he's
been
there
and
did
it
pretty
successfully.
I
think
right.
G
N
AE
AE
Of
the
other
things
that
we
did
and
we've
started,
this
I
want
to
say
about
four
to
six
months
ago
we
weren't
sure
what
kind
of
thermal
transfer
we
would
get
from
these
from
the
site.
So
in
our
early
submissions
we
were
kind
of
hedging
our
bets.
We
did
three
test
wells
and
we
found
that
the
transfer
of
temperature
that
the
thermal
transfer
was
very
successful,
so
we're
we're
moving
ahead
with
it
right
now.
There
they're
drilling
it's
exciting.
It
really
is.

AJ
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board
Madam
Secretary
on
December
14th
2017.
The
board
approved
the
252
to
260
for
Huntington
Avenue
project,
consisting
about
approximately
four
hundred
and
five
thousand
five
hundred
square
foot;
thirty-two
story:
mixed-use
building
at
252

up
to
426
residential

7500
square
feet
of
retail
space,
14,000
square
feet
of
cultural
space
and
114
parking
spaces
in
underground
garage.
AJ
The
approved
project
also
entailed
the
renovation
of
the
historic
Huntington
Avenue
theater
and
the
gifting
of
that
facility
to
the
Huntington
Theatre
Company
on
June
4th
2019,
the
proponent
filed
a
notice
of
project
change.
The
proponent
has
reduced
the
floor
to
ceiling
heights
of
the
project,
yielding
two
additional
residential
floors.
This
represents
an
increase
of
20
rental
units
from
426
to
446,
an
increase
of
approximately
24,000
710
square
feet
and
an
increase
in
flora
ratio
to
14.3.
AJ
The
added
rental
units
would
yield
an
additional
three
inclusionary
development
policy
units
for
a
total
of
58
in
the
project.
There
is
no
change
to
the
building
envelope
and
no
change
to
the
height
of
the
project.
Ji
Germann,
representing
qmg
Huntington,
the
proponent
and
I
will
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
AJ
So
no
impact
on
the
theater
that
theater
theater
has
been
gifted
to
the
Huntington
Theatre
Company
I
understand
they're
in
the
middle
of
a
fundraising
campaign
for
renovations
to
the
theater.
So
the
the
tower
project
that
is
subject
to
the
notice
of
project
change
was.
It
was
one
article
80
project,
but
it's
only
dealing
with
this
is
only
dealing
with
the
the

The
proposed

a
three
to
four
story:
approximately
38
foot
tall
residential
building
totaling
approximately
29,000
870
square
feet.
The
project
will
include
28
residential
units
and
28
parking
spaces
in
an
at-grade
garage.
The
proponent
filed
a
small
project
review
application
on
August
3rd
2018,
B
PDA
hosted
a
public
meeting
on
August
22nd.
The
strongest
feedback
from
the
community
at
that
meeting
was
the
desire
to
see
a
zone
and
compliant
project.
As
a
result,
the
proponent
scaled
back,
the
original
41
unit,
48
foot
tall
proposal
to
the
one
being
considered
tonight.
AJ
The
second
public
meeting
was
held
on
December
12th
to
2018.
In
addition
to
responding
to
the
community's
desire
for
a
zone
and
compliant
building.
The
proponent
has
also
agreed
to
make
a
$40,000
contribution
to
neighborhood
improvements.
A
community
meeting
will
be
held
to
determine
the
out
best
outcome
of
those
funds
in
the
near
future.
The
project
site
includes
two
urban
renewal
parcels
in
the
Washington
Park
urban
renewal
area.
AJ
The
construction
of
the
proposed
project
requires
changes
to
the
land,
use
and
dimensional
provisions
in
the
original
land
distribution
agreements
for
those
parcels,
a
minor
modification
is
proposed
and
any
convert
in
an
incremental
value.
Price
of
$200,000
has
been
established
to
account
for
the
increase
in
value
for
the
two
urban
renewal
parcels.
AJ
As
a
result
of
the
land-use
and
dimensional
modifications
BPD,
a
staff
believes
that
the
proposed
project
will
be
a
positive
addition
to
the
neighborhood
and
is
recommending
approval
of
the
proposed
project
and
the
minor
modification
of
the
urban
renewal
plan
for
the
Washington
Park
urban
renewal
area.
George
Moran
C,
representing
the
development
team,
will
give
a
brief
presentation
and
will
be
available
to
answer
any
questions
afterwards.
Okay,
thank
you.
Tim.
W
Thank
you
Tim
good
evening.
Mr.
chairman
Madam
Secretary
board
members
director
golden
my
name
is
George.
Branson
I
represent
the
developer,
and
my
client
is
also
now
the
owner
of
the
property.
My
client
is
Joseph
Federico.
He
and
his
family
owned,
fed,
Corp
fed
Corp
is
a
locally
based,
integrated
underground
utility
installation,
site
preparation
and
roadway
construction
firm
that
primarily
does
business
with
public
agencies
and
municipalities
and
includes
the
city
of
Boston
and
Boston
Water
and
Sewer
Commission.
They
have
an
equipment
yard
in
offices
on
Norfolk
Avenue.
W
My
client
is
very
familiar
with
the
site
because
of
the
great
amount
of
work
that
he's
done
in
the
Roxbury
neighborhood,
the
as
I
said,
my
client
has
actually
purchased.
The
property
was
previously
owned
by
the
Church
of
God
in
Christ,
which
is
owned
for
a
number
of
decades,
as
the
as
the
site
has
lain
undeveloped.
W
Looking
at
the
the
street
view
slides
here,
we
can
see
that
it's
currently
a
bacon
site.
As
Tim
said,
it's
approximately
15,000
square
feet,
there's
a
partial
foundation
which
is
located
on
the
site.
That
is
owing
to
an
uncompleted
effort
by
the
previous
owner
to
erect
a
new
church
building.
The
restriction
under
the
LDA,
which
Tim
referenced
did
in
fact
does
in
fact
restrict
the
site
to
development
for
a
church
or
a
church
building
the
foundation
was
laid
some
number
of
years
ago.
Nothing
ever
became
a
bit
after
that.
W
Moving
on,
we
have
additional
views
of
the
site
from
both
Regent
Street
st.
James
Street,
showing
that
it
is
undeveloped
and
not
particularly
attractive.
This
is
a
proposed
site
plan,
so
it's
a
very
unusually
shaped
site.
The
the
building
would
be
set
back
the
building
shown
on
that
slide.
Obviously,
in
white
with
surrounding
landscaping,
the
building
would
be
set
back
on
all
lot
lines
to
conform
with
Complete
Streets
requirements,
and
also
to
enhance
the
pedestrian
environment
on
all
sides
along
Warren
Street,
which
is
at
the
the
lower
portion
of
the
slide.
W
The
building
would
be
set
back
three
feet
from
its
own
lot
line,
which
itself
is
set
back
behind
six
feet
of
sidewalk,
paving
which
itself
is
behind
a
further
four
foot
street
furnishing
in
planting
zone
along
st.
James,
which
is
st.
James
to
the
left,
and
then
region
going
up.
The
building
would
be
set
back
five
feet
from
lot
line
where
a
planting
bed
would
be
installed
on
the
ground
floor.
The
triangular
area
that
projects
up
the
rear
of
the
building
is
set
back
64
feet
from
the
farthest
point
of
the
rear.
Lot
line.
W
That
area
would
become
is
a
substantial
landscaped,
open
space
area
for
use
by
building
residents.
The
ground
floor,
as
depicted
here,
would
consist
of
garage
parking
for
28
vehicles
for
the
28
units
entrance
to
and
egress
from
the
garage
is
located
on
the
Warren
Street
side
of
the
site.
The
ground-floor
will
also
contain
a
bicycle
storage,
room,
trash
and
recycling
room
in
the
building's
main
residential
entry
in
elevator
lobby,
also
on
the
Warren
Street
side
elevation.
This
is
gone.
W
The
site
is
a
warped
plain.
As
you
move
up
st.
James
in
Regent,
the
building's
physical
height
doesn't
change,
but
the
perceived
height
change
changes
as
you
go
up,
Regent
at
st.
James,
so
that
it
essentially
replicates
the
existing
two-and-a-half
to
three
storey
residential
building
height
along
those
streets.
W
The
building's
tallest
point,
as
I
said,
is
along
Warren
Street
and
that's
the
last
slide.
As
Tim
said,
it's
a
zoning
compliant
project
we're
not
seeking
zoning
relief.
It's
a
very
prominent
site
in
Dudley
square.
That's
laying
fallow
for
decades,
and
my
client
is
certainly
excited
and
I
think
the
neighborhood
is
is
likewise
excited
to
see
something
that
is
zoning
compliant
happening
there.
That's
going
to
take
advantage
of
this
prime
location
in
in
a
way
that's
going
to
be
good
for
the
community.
Thank.
N
W
W
N
A
D
W
W
There
was
the
FA
are
there's
been
a
reduction
in
F
air.
We're
now
at
1.99
on
FA
are
now
the
maximum
F
air
is
two
so
we're
right.
There
were
about
17
feet,
I
think
under
the
maximum
Heights,
who
were
actually
much
lower.
The
concerns
with
the
community-
and
this
was
a
fairly
long
process-
were
centered
on
density
and
and
and
in
the
height
of
the
building.
Even
though
we're
always
at
zoning
height
people
felt
it
was
too
big
for
this
particular
location,
particularly
with
the
residences
on
on
st.
James
on
the
st.
W
AJ
Think
George,
basically
summed
it
up.
I
I
think
you
know
we
had
the
the
first
public
meeting
on
August,
22nd
I
think
we
should
a
lot
of
letters
that
I'm
sure
you
read
probably
fewer
letters
after
our
second
public
meeting
on
December
12th,
but
in
that
intervening
period
you
we
haven't,
showed
you.
The
original
design,
which
was
a
sort
of
more
I,
would
say
standard
looking
for
two
five-story
multifamily
building,
which
people
felt
was
out
of
character
with
the
neighborhood,
and
so
not
just
the
density
and
the
height
reduction
to
zoning
compliance.
AJ
But
also
you
know
the
change
in
sort
of
design.
I
mean
we
saw
the
sort
of
the
the
mansard
style.
You
know,
building
that
was
being
proposed.
I
think
people
really
appreciated
that
at
our
second
public
meeting
and
I
thought
you
know
really
I'm
actually
applauded
the
development
team
for
getting
into
zoning
compliance
in
the
I
believe
it's
the
Dudley
square
economic
development
area
where
multi-family
is
allowed,
but
I
think
you
know
especially
sort
of
the
transition
around
st.
James
Street
to
sort
of
a
similar
height
to
the
existing
houses
on
st.
AJ
A
Okay,
item
number
26
request
authorization
to
submit
an
application
to
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
executive
office
of
Housing
and
Economic
Development
mass
works
infrastructure
program
in
support
of
various
projects
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
to
enter
into
a
grant
agreement
with
the
respective
proponents
of
said
projects
for
said
funds
and
to
take
all
related
actions.
Dana
Thank
You.
Mr.
V
Chairman
members
of
the
board
secretary,
Paul,
Hymas
and
director
golden
the
mass
works
infrastructure
program
is
one
which
is
administered
by
the
Commonwealth's
executive
office
of
Housing
and
Economic
Development.
It
is
a
program
which
we
at
the
BPD
a
have
used
successfully
over
the
last
several
fiscal
years
to
support
projects
which
are
under
the
priorities
for
the
Commonwealth,
particularly
around
the
creation
of
affordable
housing
and
job
development,
which
is
a
new
priority
that
masterworks
has
been
used
for
projects
for
which
we
have
used.
V
V
One
of
the
priorities
for
these
projects
that
are
considered
for
mass
works-
mass
works
likes
to
be
to
maybe
put
in
the
vernacular
the
last
funding
source
in
under
many
circumstances.
These
projects,
particularly
housing
projects,
are
also
receiving
funding
from
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
as
well,
and
so
mass
works
funds
are
used
primarily
and
I
should
have
mentioned.
This
earlier
are
used
to
fund
things
that
are
not
necessarily
exciting,
but
very
important
to
projects
like
infrastructure
like.
A
F
F
We
have
one
status
change
for
your
consideration
with
details
listed
in
the
board
memo,
and
that
would
be
michael
cañazo
senior
architect
and
an
urban
designer
for
urban
design
to
be
temporarily
appointed
to
interim
deputy
director
of
urban
design
and
then
finally,
we
have
nine
promotions,
market
and
equity
adjustments
as
part
of
the
2019
performance
evaluation
period.
For
your
consideration,
with
details
listed
in
the
board
memo.
A
AY
You,
mr.
chairman,
and
through
you
to
the
members
good
evening,
the
I
want
to
point
out
a
couple
of
internal
important
housekeeping
matters
that
we
engage
in
on
a
regular
basis.
Now
back
in
2014,
both
myself
and
and
the
mayor
were
committed
to
the
notion
that
this
organization
shoulda
gauge
its
employees
more
frequently
and
more
thoroughly.
So
we
begin
to
do
something
very
basic.
We
did
an
annual
evaluation,
pretty
common
in
the
outside
world,
both
in
government
and
in
the
private
sector.
It
was
kind
of
unheard
of
here.
AY
It
was
probably
at
least
a
few
decades.
Before
such
a
thing,
we
actually
didn't
go
back
far
enough
to
figure
out
when
employee
evaluations
we're
done
so
we
started
doing
them
and
it's
just
a
basic
matter
of
good
management.
We
want
to
make
sure
employees
know,
what's
expected
of
them,
how
they're
doing
and
and
point
out
where
things
are
going
great
point
out
where
things
need
improvement.
So
that's
good
for
the
organization.
It's
good
for
the
employees
to
the
employees
have
an
opportunity
to
respond
to
develop.
AY
We've
provided
a
lot
more
professional
development
opportunities,
getting
our
employees,
our
staff
outside
the
building,
learning
new
and
different
things
related
to
their
jobs,
but
but
a
fundamental
piece
of
that
is
evaluating
them,
so
they
hear
from
us
we
hear
from
them.
We
understand
each
other,
we're
able
to
do
our
jobs
and
accomplish
the
agency's
mission
for
the
people
of
Boston
better,
it's
a
really
arduous
undertaking.
It
takes
a
lot
of
time.
I
want
to
thank
Sivan
and
her
team
for
their
work
in
getting
this
really
serious
and
important
task
done.
AY
Kevin
Luud
at
the
human
resources
department
has
done
a
lot
of
the
of
the
legwork
associated
with
that.
We
won't
really
want
to
thank
Kevin
Laue
for
that
effort,
which
means
a
lot
to
everybody,
the
200
plus
employees
of
the
organization.
As
you
just
mentioned,
we
we
moved
Michael
cañazo
into
the
interim
deputy
director
for
urban
design
position,
David
Carlson
after
a
long
career
at
the
agency
retired.
To
you
two
weeks
ago,
Michael
has
been
with
us
for
16
years
as
a
senior
architect
and
urban
designer.
AY
He
was
with
the
city
of
Boston
for
several
years
before
that.
He
is
really
well
respected
internally
and
externally.
We
welcome
him
and
thank
him
for
performing
the
function
of
interim
deputy
director
for
urban
design.
Michael
will
be
in
this
role
for
the
foreseeable
future,
we're
going
to
begin
a
formal
process
to
fill
the
deputy
director's
position
very
soon
and
finally,
in
the
early
years
of
the
Walsh
administration,
so
much
of
the
development
underway
was
residential,
who
talked
often
about
the
building
boom
being
more
residential
than
anything
else.
AY
In
many
years
it
was
a
distinct
majority,
it
might
have
been
80%
some
years
of
the
new
development
was
residential.
That
has
changed
with
time
and
we
welcome
that
still
a
whole
lot
of
residential
development
going
on,
but
we're
seeing
other
forms
of
development.
Tonight,
we've
done
you,
you
and
your
actions
here
have
approved
one
point:
two:
four
million
square
feet
of
new
development.
The
vast
majority
of
it
is
non-residential
it.
AY
It's
spoken
for
mostly
by
the
major
rehabilitation
effort
at
the
World
Trade
Center,
almost
seven
hundred
thousand
square
feet
and
350
thousand
square
feet
at
the
new
data,
Sciences
Center
at
Boston
University.
So,
once
again,
an
example
of
just
how
diverse
the
development
is
that
is
being
permitted
and
and
in
the
variety
of
development
activity
that's
occurring
in
the
city
of
Boston
right
now,
again,
it's
a
good
thing.
It's
about
residences,
it's
about
jobs,
it's
about
institutional
space,
that's
good
for
everybody
in
Boston
and
the
metropolitan
region.
AY
So,
with
those
approvals
tonight
that
speaks
to
over
a
thousand
jobs
for
people
in
the
building
trades
building
these
projects,
it
means
2,200,
direct
jobs
that
that
that
are
created
in
the
wake
of
the
construction,
so
that's
2000,
permanent
and
over
a
thousand
building
trades
positions.
So
more
good
news
for
the
people
of
Boston
with
that
have
a
great
evening.
Thank.
