At
that
time.
Gsa
fell
into
arrears
due
to
a
decline
in
federal
government
contracts,
resulted
in
a
short-term
cash
flow
issue.
Gsa
has
since
secured
multiple
contracts,
and
the
projections
for
the
next
few
years
are
quite
optimistic.
F
Gsa
has
made
timely
rental
payments
since

bpda
feels
that
gsa

now
on
more
firm
financial
ground.

they
do
not
have
the
sufficient
reserves
to
pay
the
balance
owed
approximately
230

in
one
lump
sum.
The
cash
flow
projections
indicate
an
ability
to
meet
the
monthly
contact
rent.
However,
for
the
following
reasons,
bpda
staff
believes
that
is,
that
it
is
both
in
its
financial
interest
and
consistent
with
its
job
creation
mission
to
extend
gsa's
lease
term
at
new
rates
rather
than
evic
gsa
and
attempt
to
find
a
new
tenant.
F
Vpda
market
analysis
indicates
that
the
contract
rent
payable
by
gsa
at
31
dollars
per
square
foot
exceeds
the
current
market
rate
if
bpd
have,
if
bpda
evicted,
usa
bpda
should
expect
several
months
of
receiving
no
cash
flow
for
the

would
be

probably
be

most
likely

In
a
total

be
approximately
26

the

Thank
you.
Madam

coastal

corporation,
has
been
attended
in
the
raymond
alfond
marine
park.
Since
1985.
you
may
recognize
them
by
the
four
giant
cement
silos
that
you
can
see
quite
prominently
from
boston.
Harbor
cement
is
manufactured
in
portland
maine
and
it
is
barged
down
to
boston
where
it
was
loaded
into
the
silos,
and
it's
a
true
100
maritime
industrial
use.
J
J
J
Footprint
of
the
building,
giving
all
the
moving
parts
of
the
particular
free
following
transaction
we'd
like
to
get
the
negotiations
with
massport
finalized
before
turning
our
sole
attention
to
postal
service
and
as
much
as
the
davis,
companies,
massport
and
vpda
are
all
commercial
landlords.
In
our
own
right,
we
collectively
lost
some
traction
while
attending
to
the
financial
pressures
of
our
of
our
tenants.
J
Due
to
the
covered
19
force
economic
shutdown,
we're
asking
for
an
extension
of
the
deadline
for
coastal
to
exercise
the
third
five-year
option
until
december
31st
of
2020
in
order
to
keep
them
in
compliance
with
the
least.
We
are
in
very
active
negotiations
with
with
massport
the
davis
companies
and
postal
cement.
It's
it's
a
priority
for
us,
it's
on
the
top
of
our
to-do
list
and
we're
fully
engaged
with
all
parties
right
now
we
anticipate
bringing
both
of
these
transactions
back
to
the
board
in
advance
of
the
proposed
december

deadline.

Okay.
Item
number:
nine
request:
authorization
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
williamson
electrical
company;
incorporation
pursuant
to
the
commonwealth
of
massachusetts,
operational
operations,
services,
division,
contract,
trd04
trade
person,
installation
repair,
maintenance,
services
for
pump
and
motor
services
for
dry
dock
pump,
replacement
and
maintenance
at
dry
dock
4.
K
Madam
chair,
madam
secretary
and
members
of
the
board,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
join
you
virtually
today,
I'm
requesting
your
authorization
to
award
a
contract
to
williamson
electrical
company
to
replace
and
maintain
two
pumps
at
drydock
number
four,
which
is
located
in
the
raymond
elflynn
marine
park.
The
initial
term
of
the
contract
is
for
one
year
in
an
amount
not
expected
to
exceed
ninety
three
thousand
four
hundred
and
fifty
four
dollars.
K
The
contract
would
also
have
two
one-year
options
to
extend
at
the
sole
discretion
of
the
bpda
for
a
total
three-year
cost
not
to
exceed
190
000.
This
contract
will
help
the
real
estate
team
ensure
high
standards
for
maintenance,
while
also
maintaining
the
value
of
our
property.
As
background
drydock
number
four
in
the
marine
park
has
been
deactivated,
and
so
it
requires
pumps
to
keep
the
water
level
low
and
ensure
the
caisson
or
door
remains
closed
and
upright.
K
The
original
dewatering
comes
no
longer
function
and
must
be
replaced
with
new
pumps,
which
will
be
placed
in
the
basin
of
the
dryback,
specifically
we'll
purchase
two
pumps
and
we're
actually
going
to
rotate
and
swap
them
out.
The
contract
includes
swapping
the
pumps,
servicing
and
testing
them
and
periodically
visiting
the
dry
dock
for
inspections.
K
K
However,
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
highlight
that
we're
striving
to
increase
participation
in
our
procurement
opportunities
to
align
with
both
state
contract
guidelines,
but,
more
importantly,
with
bpda
policy
goals,
which
I
know
are
a
priority
for
this
board
as
well.
So
therefore,
after
receiving
only
one
response,
we
conducted
a
debrief
with
the
second
lender
who
had
done
a
site
visit,
but
who
chose
not
to
respond.
K
We
also
had
a
meeting
with
the
state
contract
manager
in
their
operational
services
division.
What
I
can
tell
you
at
a
high
level
is
that
uncertainty
related
to
covert
19
was
certainly
a
factor,
but
we
are
also
reevaluating
our
use
of
statewide
contracts,
as
opposed
to
the
more
standard
procurement
practice
of
publicly
advertising
our
procurement
opportunities.
K
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
implementing
some
new
strategies
for
our
upcoming
procurements
and
I'd
be
happy
to
discuss
that
in
more
detail.
I
also
want
to
specifically
thank
our
procurement
team
and
our
law
department
for
their
collaboration
on
all
of
these
debriefs
and
and
really
sort
of
deep
thinking
that's
going
into
this
process,
but
in
the
meantime,
we
do
have
confidence
that
this
contract
will
provide
all
the
required
services
at
a
great
value
and
therefore
we
recommend
award
of
this
contract
to
williamson
electrical
company.
K
K
I
I'm
curious
as
to
whether
a
change
in
our
procurement
practices
to
move
away
from
the
existing
policy,
or
at
least
the
existing
practice,
is
likely
to
produce
more
bids
from
women
owned
and
firms
owned
by
people
of
color.
I
recognize
that
this
is
very
specialized
work,
but
I
also
wonder
whether
there
may
not
be
ways
of
subcontracting
out
parts
of
this
work
to
give
a
boost
to
local
firms.
K
Boston-Based
women-owned
minority-owned,
you
know
also
veteran-owned
businesses,
and
so
one
thing
that
we're
thinking
about
a
lot
is
you
know
what
are
the
requirements
that
are
in
our
procurements
to
the
extent
that
they're
at
all
flexible,
while
still
guaranteeing
that
we're
getting
great
services
at
a
great
value?
I'm
also.
K
K
How
can
we
still
engage
with
vendors
so
that
folks,
who
might
not
have
worked
with
us
before
or
who
might
not,
you
know,
quote
unquote,
know
how
to
play
the
game
that
they
can
still
get
that
intelligence
and
also
to
your
point
that
they
can
do
some
matchmaking.
If,
if
it's
more
of
like
a
partnership
or
a
subcontractor
situation,
so
we've
been
trying
to
have
really
interactive
virtual
conferences
and
then
also
small
one-on-one
site
visits
and
then
also
just
thinking
about
how
we
scope
things.
M
O
E
Right
ted
ted
is
100
correct
as
far
as
being
specialized
there's,
not
many
companies
that
do
that
and
they've
been
this
company's
been
successful
at
purchasing
their
competitors.
They
bought
new
england,
new
england
motor,
and
then
there
was
another
company
water
waste
equipment,
so
they've
done
a
good
job
at
purchasing
their
competitors.
So
it's
really
there's
not
a
lot
of
people
that
do
this
type
of
work.

Thank
you,
madam

for
having
me
back
in

board.
As
you
stated,
I'm
requesting
your
authorization
to
award
a
contract
to
northeastern
tree
services
for
arborist
services
at
bra,
vra,
owned
property
citywide.
The
initial
term
of
the
contract
is
for
one
year
with
two
one-year
options
to
extend
at
the
bpda
sole
discretion
and
the
contract
value
would
not
exceed
fifty
thousand
dollars

manage

live
next

particularly
with
changing
seasons

and
property,
hundreds

equipment
needed
for

trimming,
pruning
removal,

stump
cuts,

additional

The

we
did
a

benchmarking
with
other
jurisdictions,

T
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
nick
schmidt,
I'm
a
senior
transportation
planner
in
the
bpda's
transportation
and
infrastructure
planning
department.
I'm
here
today
to
request
authorization
for
the
director
to
amend
the
contract
tool,
design
group
llc
for
the
planning
spousal,
multimodal
transportation
study
to
include
further
transportation
planning
and
analysis
services
in
support
of
concept,
development,
increase
the
contract
amount
by
49
500
and
extend
the
term
of
the
contract
for
six
months
through
december
31st
2021.
T
on
may
16
2019.
The
bpda
board
authorized
the
director
to
enter
into
a
contract
with
tool
design
group
llc
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
360
thousand
dollars
for
the
planning
boston,
multimodal
transportation
study.
The
study
is
holistically:
analyzing,
east
boston's,
walking
biking
transit
and
street
networks
and
will
make
recommendations
that
respond
to
existing
issues
and
support
future
growth.
T
The
study
is
advancing
the
go
boston,
2030
goals
for
expanding
access,
improving
safety
and
ensuring
reliability.
A
key
goal
of
the
study
is
an
actionable
menu
of
immediate
to
longer
term
multimodal
projects
that
will
form
the
basis
of
future
development
mitigation
and
public
investments
in
the
neighborhood.
T
The
overall
east
boston
process,
which,
in
addition
to
the
transportation
study,
includes
a
parallel
and
related
land
use
urban
design
market
analysis
study
kicked
off
in
the
fall
of
2018
and
there
have
been
more
than
60
community
community
engagements,
including
open
house
meetings
and
workshops.
Since
then,
we
are
approximately
70
through
the
scope
of
the
transportation
work.
T
Work
to
date
includes
community
engagement,
support,
identification
of
focus,
areas
for
analysis
and
completion
of
a
neighborhood-wide
existing
conditions.
Analysis
based
on
the
results
of
the
analysis
and
conversations
with
the
community.
The
bpda
and
tool
design
group
have
identified
preliminary
recommendation
concepts
and
are
now
analyzing
and
refining
those
concepts.
T
The
bpda
will
be
discussing
evaluating
and
further
refining
these
concepts
with
the
community.
Later
this
fall
and
winter
concept
development
has
been
and
continues
to
be,
a
highly
collaborative
process
with
our
colleagues
in
the
boston,
transportation,
department,
boston,
public
works
department,
massachusetts
bay,
transportation
authority,
massachusetts,
department
of
transportation
and
the
massachusetts
support
authority
among
other
stakeholders.
T
As
you
can
see,
this
is
a
highly
complex
location
with
more
than
20
intersections
in
the
heart
of
day
square.
In
this
view
alone,
the
existing
contract,
which
does
allocate
50
000
for
the
analysis
of
transportation
recommendations
for
the
entire
neighborhood,
is
insufficient
to
address
the
complexity
associated
with
the
preliminary
concepts.
H
H
T
T
We
also
knew
going
in
that
the
green
links
project
basically
providing
a
pathway
from
kind
of
along
chelsea
street
in
some
fashion,
between
chelsea
and
the
existing
mary
ellen
welch
greenway,
was
also
a
priority.
So
we
had
a
good
sense
that
day
square
would
be
a
priority
for
the
plan
in
some
fashion,
but
during
our
initial
analysis
process
and
with
our
again
with
our
conversations
with
community,
we've
basically
found
out
that
once
you
start
chugging
at
one
piece
of
day
square,
you
kind
of
have
to
you
know,
understand
the
rest
of
it.
T
It's
very
highly
interrelated.
So
to
your
so
that's
sort
of
how
we
arrived
at.
You
know
knowing
going
in
that
we
would
be
looking
at
this,
but
as
we
started
developing
our
concepts
further
and
analyzing
further,
we
started
realizing
that
it
was
the
actual
scope
of
the
area
we
need
to
look
at
was
a
little
larger
than
anticipated.
T
I'm
very
confident
going
in
that
this
is
sufficient
to
account
for
the
area
that
we
need
to
analyze.
There's
really
this
is
this.
Work
is
really
an
extension
of
the
traffic
and
transit
analysis
that
will
be
we
have
done
anyway,
and
what
I've
continued
to
do
in
some
fashion
and
once
these
all
sort
of
intersect
in
this
area,
and
once
you
sort
of
you
know,
go
out
beyond
this
area,
there's
not
really
additional
intersections
that
have
the
same
sort
of
micro
simulation
analysis
that
you
need
to
do
for
this
area.
T
It
doesn't
have
the
same
kind
of
impact,
so
we're
pretty
confident
in
our
our
actual
focus
area.
Here,
we've
we've
coordinated
the
the
analysis,
scope
itself
with
our
colleagues
at
btd
and
public
works
and
our
and
also
at
mbta.
So
you
know,
we've
been
making
sure
with
with
them
and
with
our
partners
that
it's
adequate
as
well.
T
Sure
that's
a
great
question.
I
would
say
that,
first
of
all,
you
know:
we've
we've
received
a
lot
of
input
and
we
have
a
lot
of
understanding
from
our
process
to
date,
and
you
know
we
use
a
lot
of
that
as
part
of
our
development
review
process.
So,
first
and
foremost,
you
know
projects
that
are
coming
and
we're
using
what
we're
learning
to
help
influence
and
and
improve
the
public
realm
relating
to
those
projects.
T
So
those
those
types
of
improvements
can
happen
as
part
of
developments
as
they
come
in
and,
as
we
all
know,
there's
plenty
of
developments
coming
into
east
boston,
but
that
doesn't
address
everything.
Of
course
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
big
projects,
big
corridors
and
the
squares,
for
example
that
do
require
a
lot
more
attention
than
a
single
developer
project
could
do,
or
you
know,
a
small
project
from
the
city,
whether
that's
the
btd
or
public
works
project.
T
That
being
said,
there's
also
the
need
for
pipeline
projects.
You
know
that
go
through
the
project
development
process,
where
you're
moving
curbs
and
there's
concrete
and
there's
big
changes,
so
we'll
be
having
recommendations
that
that
cover
all
the
way
from
those
immediate
kind
of
term
things
that
we
can
work
with
with
the
committee
to
the
longer
term
things
and
we
think
there's
a
lot
of
intersection
actually
there
between
big
picture
ideas
that
do
require
construction,
but
also
can
be
done
in
some
fashion,
on
an
immediate
timeline
to
realize.
T
Some
of
those
benefits
very
early
on
we've
been
really,
as
the
city
been
doing.
A
lot
of
that
lately
with
our
public
realm
guidelines,
where
we
create
new,
plaza
spaces
out
of
an
excess
pavement.
If
you
will
to
you,
know,
adding
better
walking
and
biking
facilities
through
our
active
transportation
work,
as
well
as
our
close
coordination
with
mbta
and
bustling
projects,
so
we're
we're
able
to
move
quickly
if
we
have
ideas
that
are,
you
know,
being
supported
by
the
community
when
we
do
get
to
that
point.
Where
we'll
be
showing
recommendations.
A
B
A
A
Me
too
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
squeeze
in
one
more
before
we
start
the
public
hearing.
So
item
number
11
request
authorization
to
extend
the
final
designation
of
ebcdc,
incorporated
the
nonprofit
corporation
affiliated
with
the
east
boston
community
development
corporation
as
the
redeveloper
of
146
through
172
condor
street
in
east
boston,
which
includes
authorization
to
execute
a
ground
lease
with
eb
cdc,
incorporated
and
take
all
related
actions
dennis.
J
J
The
intent
is
to
develop
a
maritime
industrial
center
consistent
with
the
goals
of
an
rfp
that
we
issued
a
couple
years
ago
was
all
support,
regulations
and
city
of
boston
zoning.
As
I've
reported
in
previous
board
meetings.
The
development
will
take
several
years
due
to
the
complexities
of
the
site
itself.
J
Last
month,
bpda
staff,
myself
included,
met
twice
on
site
with
east
boston,
cbc
principals
and
consultants,
bpda,
leasing,
waterfront
planning,
capital
construction
and
legal
teams
were
also
present
on
the
site.
The
east,
boston,
cdc
consultants
have
submitted
a
revised
timeline
and
schedule
of
the
pre-construction
deliverables
for
the
parcel.
J
J
J
There
will
still
be
a
whole
site
about
six
acres,
which
would
be
about
10
feet
below
the
floodplain.
At
that
point,
it's
a
picture.
An
acre
in
your
mind's
eye.
A
football
field
is
roughly
an
acre,
so
it's
a
site
the
size
of
six
football
fields.
That
would
need
to
be
filled
up
to
ten
feet.
Deep,
the
perimeter
project
has
been
permitted
and
the
expected
completion
of
the
of
the
perimeter
project
will
be
in
the
spring
of
2021.
J
we've.
However,
we
do
not
expect
to
get
approval
from
the
massachusetts
department
of
environmental
protection
and
the
army
corps
of
engineers
to
commence
filling
the
site
until
mid
to
late
2022,
the
site
literally
abuts,
the
chelsea
creed.
So
there's
all
there's
a
lot
of
regular
regulatory
bodies
involved,
filling
alone
could
take
up
to
three
years,
so
the
forward's
progress
will
be
incremental
and
deliberate,
but
it
will
take
time
and
we
will
need
to
be
patient.
However,
all
the
costs
associated
with
this
are
borne
by
these
boston.
J
Cdc
and
bpa
will
not
be
spending
any
funds
on
the
project.
The
draft
lease
is
in
its
final
stage
and
bpda
legal
is
very
confident
that
we
will
have
it
completely
executed
by
the
end
of
the
year
december,
31st
2020,
which
is
what
we're
asking
for
the
extension
sorry.
I
know
I
dabbled
a
little
bit
there,
but
that's
the
end
of
my
presentation.
Thank
you.
I
J
That's
part
of
the
reason
why
it'll
take
so
long.
This
landmark
the
dr
landmark,
the
the
the
one
of
the
big
things
that
we
need
to
entail
in
the
permian
is
to
make
sure
the
fill
does
not
go
into
chelsea
crate,
they're,
so
they'll
be
they'll,
be
a
sloping
of
the
site
to
make
sure
that
none
of
the
fill
leaves
the
siding
goes
into
the
creek.
That's
a
major
concern.
J
B
J
I
think
that
the
main
protection
is
to
elevate
it.
You
know,
as
part
of
resiliency
projects
is
to
elevate
the
site
out
of
the
the
current
floodplain,
which
was
amended
recently.
I'm
not
an
expert
in
the
flood
plains
either,
but
I
know
that
as
it
stands
right
now,
it's
technically
in
the
flood
plain
after
raising
the
perimeter
of
the
site
by
several
inches,
it
will
be
officially
out
of
the
floodplain
reported
by
you
know:
regulators
and
our
colleagues
in
the
planning
department
engineering.
I
H
A
And
the
chairperson
passes
thank
you
dennis.
We
are
actually
going
to
take
just
one
more
item
before
we
start
the
public
hearing,
so
number
12
request
authorization
to
extend
the
tentative
designation
of
tenants
development
corporation
as
redeveloper
of
the
development
of
a
community
center,
including
office
space
for
its
headquarters
on
parcel
22a.
In
the
south
end
urban
renewal
area
project
number
mouse
r-56
located
at
151,
lenox
street
and
roxbury
ray.
M
Thank
you.
Can
you
see
me
and
hear
me?
Oh
okay,
great
thank
you,
madam
chair
of
director
golden
madame
secretary
and
members
of
the
board,
I'm
requesting
an
additional
90-day
extension
to
the
tentative
designation
for
tenants
development
corporation
of
roxbury
for
the
location
you
mentioned
at
151
atlantic
street.
In
the
south
end
urban
renewal
area,
the
board
originally
voted
to
award
tdc
tentative
designation
in
june
2018.
M
Extending
that
td
in
march
june
september,
in
december
of
2019
and
march
and
june
of
2020.
tdc
is
proposing
to
develop
a
approximately
18
000
square
foot
four-story
community
center,
and
recently
the
progress
has
been
a
bit.
The
progress
of
the
capital
campaign
has
been
hampered
on
because
of
coven
19
restrictions.
However,
very
recently
they
just
added
200
to
250
000
commitment
which
it
was
in
cash
deposited
into
their
account,
adding
to
their
fundraising
goal,
which
is
a
really
great
thing.
We're
very
happy
to
hear
about
that.
M
So
tdc
expects
to
use
this
requested
extension
to
continue
adjusting
their
design
and
a
really
huge
push
on
their
capital
campaign.
They'll
be
submitting
foundation,
grant
applications
doing
some
virtual
events
with
a
targeted
philanthropic
community
and
they'll
also
engage
in
media
outreach
and
cultivation
of
events.
So
for
these
reasons,
I
request
that
you
please
grant
an
extension
to
the
tentative
designation
so
that
they
can
keep
moving
forward.
M
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and,
unfortunately,
their
consultant,
their
capital
campaign
consultant
sean
caron
couldn't
stay
for
the
remainder
of
the
meeting
because
of
previous
obligations,
but
he
really,
you
know,
will
be
here
next
month,
so
our
next
time.
So
very
much-
and
I
appreciate
you
getting
me
in
under
the
wire.
I
M
Well,
that
is
that's
definitely
very
true.
We've
been
trying
to
work
very
closely
with
tenants
development
corporations,
so
we
had
felt
that
doing
it
in
three-month
increments
sort
of
helped
us
to
kind
of
stay
on
top
of
what
was
happening,
but
we,
you
know,
we
definitely
talk
about
that
for
the
next
time.
You
know
and
then
consider
doing
it
for
for
for
longer.

has
commenced
tenancy
of
what
is
now
a
single
building
known
as
five
neko
street.
U
The
proposal
before
the
board
this
evening
will
allow
for
more
welcoming,
inclusive
and
active
development
along
the
four-point
channel,
with
future
development
on
neighboring
parcels
and
additional
sites.
Further
up
the
channel
towards
broadway
station.
The
15
necklace
street
project
will
very
much
pave
the
way
for
this
new
section
of
fort
point
and
the
south
boston
waterfront,
beginning
with
the
proponent
submission
of
the
notice
of
project
change.
U
After
an
initial
round
of
iag
in
public
review,
the
proponent
submitted
a
supplemental
submission
to
the
bpda
on
february
11th
2020,
which
detailed
revised
design
plans
for
the
15
necklace
street
building
and
proposed
ground
floor
community,
civic,
cultural
and
non-profit
uses
through
a
robust
boston,
civic
design,
commission
review
process.
The
15
necklace
street
building
has
evolved
to
what
you'll
see
in
this
evening's
presentation.
U
The
project
serves
as
an
excellent
example
of
the
iterative
process
of
article
80
review.
The
unique
public
spaces
and
places
that
this
project
will
bring
to
the
four-point
channel
are
the
direct
result
of
thoughtful
collaboration
and
meaningful
engagement
between
the
bpda
city
of
boston
staff,
the
impact
advisory
group,
the
community
and
the
development
team.
The
revised
proposal
for
the
five
and
15
necco
street
sites
will
provide
approximately
4
700
square
feet
of
flexible
ground
floor,
civic,
cultural
and
non-profit
space
in
the
historic
five
mecca.
U
Building
the
four-point
arts
community,
who
you'll
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
in
the
presentation,
has
some
very
exciting
plans
for
this.
This
space.
Excuse
me,
a
community
work
lounge
on
the
ground
floor
of
the
new
15
naco
building
will
be
finalized
through
the
state's
chapter
91
licensing
process,
but
will
provide
space
for
individuals
to
set
up
with
their
laptop
for
the
day
conduct
a
small
meeting
or
for
community
organizations
to
host
evening
programs
or
events.
U
The
proponent
will
be
completing
their
portion
of
work
on
the
future
fort
point
park,
which
is
currently
being
planned
by
the
community
through
the
bpda's
100
acres,
open
space
planning
process
and
which
will
provide
a
world-class
open
space
and
complement
to
the
activity
along
the
channel.
Sidewalk
and
infrastructure.
Improvements
undertaken
by
the
proponent
will
provide
accessible
connections
to
the
four-point
channel,
which
previously
did
not
exist,
supporting
the
city's
goals
of
promoting
access
to
the
waterfront
and
the
harborwalk
network.
U
In
closing,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
members
of
the
impact
advisory
group
who
dedicated
a
significant
amount
of
time
and
effort
to
reviewing
this
proposal
and
advocating
for
the
exceptional
public
spaces
and
uses
that
will
make
this
project
a
vibrant
and
welcoming
destination
in
the
city.
We
look
forward
to
continuing
engagement
and
discussion
with
the
iag
members,
as
the
previously
mentioned.
Civic,
cultural,
nonprofit
and
community
spaces
are
further
developed
through
the
chapter
91
process.
U
I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
my
colleagues
rich
mcguinness
and
joe
cristo
from
the
bpd's
waterfront
planning
team,
who
probably
spent
just
as
much
time
as
I
did
on
this
project
and
whose
guidance
and
support
throughout
contributed
significantly
to
the
proposal
before
this
evening.
With
that,
I
will
hand
it
over
to
dave
me
and
freddie
from
el
casman
freddie,
architects
representing
national
development
and
alexandria,
real
estate,
bpda
staff
and
the
development
team
will
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
the
board
may
have
at
the
conclusion
of
the
presentation.
Thank
you,
madam.
V
V
So
there
are
two
buildings:
five
necco,
which
is
the
historic
building,
a
five-story,
brick
masonry
building
and
15
neco,
which
is
the
new
building
12
stories,
and
you
can
see
in
the
outline
the
site
and
exactly
how
much
open
space
is
actually
included.
In
this
proposal.
The
footprint
of
15
necco
is
approximately
100
feet
from
its
westernmost
boundary
to
the
seawall.
V
You
can
see
that
in
addition-
or
maybe
you
can't
see,
but
in
addition,
the
design
changes
from
the
original
proposal
represent
actually
an
increase
of
open
space,
approximately
7
400
square
feet
over
the
previous
proposal.
You
can
see
that
we
about
the
new
hundred
acre
park
you'll
see
that
in
our
renderings,
that
park
is
currently
being
designed
by
halverson
partnership,
but
we
have
made
every
accommodation
in
terms
of
topography
and
our
own
planning
that
we
will
engage
seamlessly
with
that
future
park.
V
V
The
tower
is
an
eight-story
metal
and
glass
tower,
and
you
can
see
the
geometry
of
the
tower
kind
of
leaning
into
the
channel
in
the
architecture
and
the
massing
of
waterfront
historic
waterfront
structures
in
the
top
is
photovoltaic
penthouse
cladding
of
penthouse
exceeding
the
amount
of
photovoltaics
that
were
originally
proposed.
There's
over
16
000
square
feet
of
new
photovoltaics.
V
Next,
please,
the
harbor
walk
improvements
that
you
see
in
this
rendering
from
the
harbor
walk
to
the
seawall
and
including
the
the
floating
components
are
already
constructed.
The
renovation
of
five
necco.
The
building
on
the
left
is
now
complete
and
ge
is
occupying
the
building.
The
previously
proposed
bridge
and
canopy
that
connected
the
two
buildings
has
been
eliminated.
V
V
There's
an
entrance
on
the
north
off
of
this
walkway
between
5
and
15..
It
connects
to
a
through
lobby
that
then
connects
to
the
park
on
the
south.
All
four
corners
of
the
building
will
be
occupied
by
facilities
of
public
accommodation.
There
are
no
back
sides
to
this
building.
In
fact,
we
have
active
public
realm
on
all
four
sides.
V
Next,
please.
This
is
a
view
on
the
south,
so
immediately
to
the
left
will
be
the
new
park
we're
just
showing
green
awaiting
that
new
park.
The
building
first
floor
elevation
is
elevated
to
20.5
in
the
interest
of
resiliency,
and
so
you
can
see
the
land
is,
is
contoured
to
reach
that
entrance
on
the
south
side,
that
north
side
entrance
and
south
side
entrances
connect,
and
this
is
a
publicly
accessible
passageway
which
is
dedicated
to
community
uses,
as
you
will
see
in
a
moment,
and
that
park
is
currently
being
designed.
V
W
The
city
of
boston
has
been
a
leader
in
this
country
on
climate
change
preparedness,
particularly
with
its
thoughtful
climate
action
plan,
to
provide
guidelines,
resiliency
measures
for
the
future
of
boston,
with
a
special
consideration
for
measures
that
protect
our
historic
neighborhoods
with
the
opportunity
of
improving
on
the
previously
approved
ge
project.
Within
fact,
and
in
meeting
the
guidelines,
the
current
guidelines
of
the
climate
action
plan.
W
Our
first
partnership
is
the
fort
point:
artist
arts
community
for
a
nominal
sum
of
ten
dollars
a
year.
That's
not
ten
dollars
a
square
foot,
that's
ten
dollars
in
total!
So
not
only
is
this
a
qualified
partner,
qualified
non-profit,
they
encourage
activation
and
other
partnerships
with
other
non-profits
they're
focused
on
public
engagement
with
a
diverse
population,
diverse
programming,
and
they
more
you
know,
most
importantly,
what
we're
most
excited
about.
They'll
help
us
be
able
to
celebrate
the
artistic
fabric.
W
W
W
We've
provided
what
we're
calling
this
touchdown
space
on
the
ground
floor
so
that,
even
if
it's
someone,
that's
not
a
patron
of
a
restaurant
or
or
a
retailer
or
an
employee
in
the
building
that
they
feel
welcome
to
come
in
through
this
area,
sit
down,
stay
eat.
Lunch
hang
out
plug
in
this
will
support
all
of
the
waterfront
activity
along
the
harbour
wall
and
the
new
parks.
The
south,
which
we
are
excited.
Where
you
are
as
well
attention
it
will,
it
will
work,
we
don't
have
the
security
considerations,
as
I
said
so.
W
W
N
W
Next
slide.
So
just
a
quick
summary.
The
previously
approved
ge
project
had
provided
extensive
mitigation,
of
course,
but
we
were
very
happy
for
this
opportunity
to
even
further
enhance
this
project
and
the
surrounding
area
both
inside
and
outside.
These
comprehensive
improvements
include
more
civic
and
community
focused
spaces,
more
thoughtful,
active
ground
floor
uses
amenities
or
open
space.
Better
resiliency
measures,
a
more
sustainable
building
as
david
said,
lead
gold,
a
lot
of
new
technology
in
the
building
envelope.
W
A
lot
of
on-site
renewable
focus,
including
geothermal,
which
I
think
is
new
to
this
specific
neighborhood,
as
well
as
solar
panels,
which
again
we're
more
we're
able
to
get
more
than
previously,
and
particularly
the
opportunity
to
integrate
better
with
the
neighborhood,
provide
more
pathways
to
and
from
the
water
around
the
site,
much
more
porous
and
and
feeling
as
if
it's
civic,
it's
not
a
corporate
campus,
and
so
we
certainly
want
it
to
feel
feel.
Everyone
feel
welcome
and
not
like
their
friends,
and
particularly
you
know
this.
W
O
W
W
Implementation
of
the
100
acre
park
process
to
our
south
here
and
look
forward
to
seeing
the
rest
of
the
plan
come
to
life.
It's
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
rich
mcguinness
and
joe
cristo
ppa
staff,
as
well
as
ashland
to
continue
this
and,
and
we
look
to
continue
this
as
they
develop
their
design
as
well.
W
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
does
that
conclude
the
presentation?
Yes,
okay,
great,
so
so
we're
gonna
hold
off
on
board
questions
and
go
through
the
public
testimony
portion.
So
so,
yes,
we're
now
entering
the
public
testimony
portion.
So
please
announce
your
name
affiliation
and
your
position
for
the
proposed
project
and
teresa
well.
G
A
G
M
G
Z
Remember
support
this
is
minor
ferris
representing
the
carpet
procedure.
First
of
all,
I
wish
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
that
you
and
all
your
family
are
doing
well
in
these
difficult
times,
and
I
would
say
that
I
truly
appreciate
your
hard
work
on
on
what
you
do
moving
this
city
forward
with
these
projects.
Z
Z
Through
the
past
few
months,
we
are
living
through
very
unique
times,
where
many
hundreds
of
people
throughout
the
city
of
boston
and
other
cities
kind
of
make
a
choice
in
between
paying
grants,
paying
mortgages
and
paying
medicines
where
we
know
that
the
prediction
is
that
many
people
may
be
evicted
out
of
their
homes,
and
I
think
the
community
benefits
that
this
project
is
going
to
be
bring
to
the
city
at
a
great
convenience.
It
would
be
greatly
needed,
and
hopefully,
great
respect.
G
G
AA
Yeah,
this
is
thomas
grilliam,
a
resident
of
the
neighborhood.
I
just
wanted
to
voice
my
quick
support
of
development.
I
think
they've
done
a
lot
of
what
the
neighborhood
has
asked
for
and
as
somebody
who
walks
quite
regularly
up
and
down
the
harbor
walk
there
in
a
street.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
great
addition
and
improvement
to
the
neighborhood.
So
thanks
very
much
and
that's
that's-
I
just
want
to
voice
my
my
my
enthusiastic
support.
A
I
I
have
one
first,
I
want
to
commend
the
development
team
for
your
addressing
issues
of
resilience,
and
it
appears
that
you're
doing
that.
Well,
even
as
you
await
the
final
design
from
halverson,
I
have
one
question
which
will
seem
a
little
nitpicky,
given
the
program
that
you've
set
for
the
ground
floor
spaces
and
your
intention
of
making
this
a
very
public
and
open
space.
W
Yes,
I
didn't
david,
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
answer
this
either,
but
in
the
ground
floor
right,
that's
sort
of
central
to
the
lobby.
We
do
have
some
public
restrooms
there,
as
well
as
all
of
our
our
retailers
on
the
ground.
Floor
will
also
have
restrooms
available
and
what
our
our
other
plan
as
well
is
to
provide
way
finding
signage
from
necco
street
and
then
also
from
the
harbor
walk
directing
people
where
the
public
press.
B
I
have
a
question
reading
through
the
comment.
Letters
it
seems
like
the
original
design
of
this
building
was
not
met
with
enthusiasm
from
the
four
point
community.
Can
you
talk
about
how
you
changed
the
design
and
why
this
final
design,
that's
before
before
us,
is
appropriate
for
this
kind
of
gateway
spot
in
among
these
older
brick
industrial
buildings,
and
where
is
the
sentiment
in
the
community
now
for
this
final
design,.
V
Naomi
I'll
go
first
and
you
can
join
in
the
original
design
that
was
presented
to
the
community
and
presented
to
bcdc
was
a
building
that
was
primarily
glass
and
metal.
It
had
a
great
deal
of
sun
shading
devices
to
for
sun
control
and
heat
gain
control,
but
it
did
not
partake
participate
in
the
historic
context
of
four
point
channel
in
terms
of
its
material
palette.
I
think
there
was
generally
support
for
the
overall
massing
of
the
building,
but
you
are
absolutely
correct.
V
V
There
is
a
four-story
base
that
is
red,
brick
masonry
that
has
vertically
oriented
proportions
of
what
we
call
punched
windows,
there's
a
kind
of
two-story
seam
and
then
there's
a
a
metal
and
glass
tower.
Above
I
think
we,
I
think
we
all
came
to
understand
this
building,
and
I
say
all
I
mean
the
design
team,
the
development
team,
the
neighborhood
as
something
of
a
transition
between
the
historic
boston
wharf
buildings
and
the
future
that
clearly
is
going
to
evolve.
Just
south.
W
O
B
B
U
Happy
to
thank
you,
mrs
downes
there's,
I
think
across
the
board.
We've
seen
variances
right
and
processes
that
were
underway
pre-coveted
and
how
that's
translated
to
a
virtual
process.
I
think
by
and
large
we're
seeing
an
up
in
participation
numbers.
I
think
it's
just
easier
for
people
to
virtually
participate.
It's
you
know
it's
more
flexible.
U
We
did
host
a
virtual
ieg
meeting
in
the
middle
of
july
end
of
july,
and
that
was
that
was
very
well
attended.
There's
actually
better
attendance
at
that
than
the
public
meeting
and
again,
as
naomi
said,
a
lot
of
the
neighbors
here
and
a
lot
of
the
community
members
were
active
and
participatory
in
the
bcdc
process.
So
I
think
people
were
involved
in
that
and
obviously
got
a
good
sense
of
what
the
changes
had
been.
U
A
A
I
think
you
could
do
it,
but
but
I
also
do
think
it's
gonna,
be
it's
gonna
be
challenging
because
it's
gonna
be
new
right
to
to
be
able
to
create
that
awareness
and
activation,
but
it
sounds
like
you're
on
your
way
in
the
wayfinding
and
all
that
good
stuff
in
that
awesome,
green
space.
That
is
going
to
be
so
cool,
so
yeah,
just
more
just
like
it's
just
all
I
wanted
to
say
anyway.
Does
anybody
else
from
the
board?
A
I
E
E
I
A
Okay,
so
give
me
a
moment
to
shuffle
my
papers:
okay,
so
we're
back
to
item
number
13,
correct
teresa.
That
is
correct,
okay,
great.
So
this
is
a
certificate
of
completion
portion
of
of
the
agenda.
So
item
number
13
request
authorization
to
issue
a
partial
partial
certificate
of
completion
to
boston,
landing
llc
for
the
40
guest
street
project
in
brighton.
The
second
project
of
the
second
project
of
three
total
projects
that
consist
in
the
office
building
sports
project
development
plan
with
boston,
landing
plan,
development
area
number
87
certificate
completion.
B
A
Right,
let's
take
a
roll
call
for
a
vote.
Ms

This
is
jeff
drago
with
drago
and
toscano
we're
the
zoning
attorneys
for
city
realty,
who
are
the
owner
and
developer
of
the
project
at
11th
annual.
I
also
have
dan
artesius
with
me
from
embark
who's,
the
architect
in
the
project
who
you'll
hear
from
in
a
few
moments.
AE
AE
The
proposal
next
slide,
please
so
the
the
proposal,
as
mentioned,
would
create
42
new
housing
units
with
51
parking
spaces
at
the
ground
level.
As
was
mentioned,
this
is
an
existing
commercial
structure.
I
had
been
empty
for
a
number
of
years
and
we
felt
this
use.
Creating
housing
would
be
much
more
conducive
to
the
area
where
there
are
some
new
developments
in
and
around
us
jobs.
As
was
mentioned,
it's
a
13.5
million
dollar
investment
project
creation
of
70
construction
jobs
on
the
site.
AE
I
will
get
into
affordability
in
a
moment,
but
there
are
a
number
of
community
benefits,
including
and
the
slide
dedicated
bike,
room
of
52,
bicycle
spaces,
thousand
dollar,
contribution
to
the
boston
transportation
department
for
updates
and
transportation,
and
then
a
public
transportation
information
station
that
would
show
schedules
because
we
are
for
those
folks
that
would
be
moving
here.
We
are
near
blue
bike
stations,
bus
routes
and,
of
course,
the
boston
landing
site
next
slide.
Please
so
again,
just
the
proposals
to
raise
the
existing
commercial
structure
and
erect
a
residential
building.
AE
This
is
a
condominium
building
with
42
units
and
51
parking
spaces.
Just
as
we
worked
with
the
community
on
this
project
as
well
as
the
bpda
and
council
of
braden,
we
agreed
to
add
an
additional
affordable
unit.
So
what
was
required
was
five
units
and
we
are
at
six.
We
also
agreed,
because
we
know
home
ownership
is
so
important
to
have
60
percent
deed,
restricted
home
ownership
units
on
this
site,
which
we
put
in
our
master,
deed
and
trust
in
the
condominium
units
and
again
on
our
amis.
AE
Next
slide,
please
and
again,
this
is
the
view
of
the
proposed
building
and
just
a
quick
note
of
a
breakdown
for
the
units.
So
we
are
proposing
14
studio
units
with
an
average
size
of
560
14
one-bedroom
units
at
700,
with
an
average
size
of
705
square
feet,
six
plush
units
at
860.,
five,
two
bedroom
units
at
9
35,
and
we're
also
asked
to
include
some
family
size
units.
So
we
do
have
three
three
bedrooms
at
12
45.
AE
We
did
have
a
very
robust
community
process
and
made
a
number
of
changes
as
we
went
forward.
So
as
you
see
this
building
steps
in
and
I'm
going
to,
let
dan
get
into
that,
but
just
some
of
the
modifications
that
we
went
through
with
the
community
reducing
the
heightened
stories
from
five
stories
to
four
stories:
a
complete
majority,
brick
in
the
front
for
our
exterior
treatments.
AE
R
Thank
you
jeff
good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
dan
artes,
I'm
with
embark,
architecture
and
design,
and
as
jeff
had
mentioned,
this
project
has
gone
through
a
lengthy
community
process
and
in
working
with
the
community.
The
design
of
the
building
has
progressed
to
what
you
see
here
tonight.
Looking
at
the
area
of
this
area
of
allston
brighton,
we
look
to
create
a
strong
three-story
cornice
line
with
a
predominantly
brick
facade,
broken
up
by
a
series
of
bays
with
large
fenestration
and
then
at
the
upper
floor.
R
On
the
fourth
floor,
working
with
our
direct
abutters,
we
created
a
14
foot
step
back
from
faneuil
street
to
minimize
the
massing
along
daniel
street,
but
aggregate
the
mass
along
market
street
to
tie
into
the
heights
of
the
buildings
along
market
street.
As
jeff
had
mentioned,
we
looked
to
create
an
activated
facade
on
the
ground
floor.
So
starting
from
the
right
hand,
side
we
have
the
bike
room
with
52
bike
parking
spaces
with
both
access
from
the
street
and
within
the
building
lobby.
R
Moving
down
the
facade
in
the
center
under
the
11
is
the
main
building
entry
to
the
right
of
that
would
be
a
seating
and
amenity
space
for
the
building
occupants
and
then
next
to
to
the
left
of
the
11
is
the
parking
entry
to
the
building.
Something
to
mention
here
is
that
the
previous
use
was
a
commercial
use
for
the
site
and
there
were
two
roughly
20-foot
curb
cuts.
R
Fourth
story
here
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
the
ground
floor
level
and
on
the
on
the
front
at
the
bottom
of
the
sheet,
is
faneuil
street
and
we've
set
the
building
back
six
feet.
So
we
have
almost
a
12
foot
wide
sidewalk
in
front
of
our
building
and
reducing
the
curb
cuts
to
a
single
10-foot,
curb
cut,
improving
the
public
realm
along
this
end
of
faneuil
street
accessing
market
street.
R
Another
thing
to
the
rear
left
hand
side
of
the
site.
This
is
an
l-shaped
site,
so
we've
created
a
16
foot
step
back
to
the
building,
creating
open
space
where
there
is
currently
none.
The
entire
lot
is
either
paved
or
a
built
one
story:
commercial
building,
and
then
we
also
have
a
overhang
covered
patio
in
that
rear
area
as
an
amenity
to
building
occupants
running
through
the
ground
floor
plan.
R
The
main
building
entry
is,
like,
I
said,
off
annual
street
small
seating
area
and
then
the
bike
parking
room
for
52
bikes
and
then
from
the
sorry
from
the
parking
area
down
the
driveway.
There's
a
parking
area
through
semi-automated
parking
system
for
51
parking
spaces
for
the
building
and
then
as
well
a
trash
room
fully
inside
the
building.
Next
slide,
please.
R
This
is
just
the
front
elevation
showing
that
three
that
strong
cornice
line
and
then
the
breakup
of
the
bays
and
the
building
entry.
Next
slide,
this
is
the
market
street
elevation
everything
stepping
up
to
four
stories,
continuing
that
cornish
line
around
next
slide
the
rear
elevation
carriage
again
carrying
that
strong
cornice
line
and
then
the
last
slide.

Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
and
director
golden
the
proposed
development
before
you
is
40
to
50
warren
street
in
roxbury,
which
is
the
result
of
a
comprehensive
planning
study
for
the
nubian
square.
Neighborhood
new
urban
collaborative
proposes
to
construct
a
six
story:
approximately
thirty
six
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seventy
square
foot
income
restricted
housing
development.
The
project
will
contain
25
income,
restricted
rental
units,
ground
floor,
retail
space,
co-working
space,
25,
bicycle
parking,
spaces
for
residents
and
five
bicycle
parking
spaces
for
the
commercial
uses.

The
small
project
review
application
was
submitted
on
september
27th
of
2019.
One
public
meeting
was
held
on
december
10
of
2019,
and
the
second
public
meeting
was
held
on
september
3rd
of
2020.
The
comment
period
closed
on
december

2019.
At
this
time.
I
will
turn
it
over
to
the
development
team
to
go
over
their
presentation
in
more
detail,
after
which
we
would
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
Y
Y
H
Y
Y
Thank
you
here.
We
have
a
site
plan
that
shows
the
nubian
square
neighborhood
map.
We
have
dudley
street
on
the
southern
edge
of
our
map
and
warren
street
directly
in
the
center.
Our
building
is
the
light
green
building
with
the
blue
piece
in
the
center,
roughly
in
the
middle
and
directly
across
from
the
newbie
square
bus
terminal
area.
Y
Y
This
is
a
street
level
map
of
an
aerial
view
from
from
behind
the
building
on
dudley
street
facing
toward
the
balling
building
and
the
nubian
square
bus
station.
This
highlights
the
four
noteworthy
transit
hubs
in
the
area.
There
are
two
bus
stations,
the
nubian
square
bus
station
and
the
melania
cass
bus
stop,
as
well
as
about
a
ten
minute,
walk
to
the
ruggles
orange
line
and
a
few
minutes
more
to
the
roxbury
crossing
orange
line.
Stop
next
slide,
please.
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
This
project
is
the
outgrowth,
as
ebony
mentioned,
of
a
comprehensive
and
extensive
process,
including
plan
nubian
and
several
rfps
that
the
city
issued
prior
to
this,
and
including
this
there
has
been
quite
a
few
community
groups
that
have
met
regarding
this
space,
including
the
prc
and
a
number
of
meetings
privately
held
throughout
the
area.
Next
slide.
Please.
Y
The
proposed
site
plan
changes
what
was
formerly
a
27
space
parking
lot
behind
the
palladio
building
into
a
fairly
activated
public
realm.
That
includes
a
residential
entry
in
the
indicated
in
the
blue
in
the
drawing
and
the
rest
of
the
space
which
you
see
in
green
is
commercial
space,
all
of
which,
except
for
the
co-working
lobby
in
the
northwestern
corner
of
the
building,
is
completely
accessible
to
the
public
during
operational
hours.
Y
The
co-working
lobby
is
an
entrance
up
to
the
second
and
third
floor,
which
will
have
some
limited
access,
but
will
still
be
usable
by
the
public
on
either
membership
or
some
sort
of
restricted
basis
like
that
south
of
the
building
between
our
building
the
palladio
building,
we're
proposing
an
art
walk,
which
you
can
see
some
precedent.
Images
for
to
the
right
of
this
slide
as
our
building
is
set
back
18
feet
at
the
street
and
down
to
10
feet
at
the
back
of
the
heart
alley
from
the
platia
building
next
slide.
Please.
L
D
A
A
Y
So
there
will
be
some
some
permanent
pieces
in
in
the
art
walk
which
you
can
see.
There's
some
catenary
lighting.
That's
planned
that
space
relates
directly
to
the
commercial
space
adjacent
to
it,
so
we're
imagining
that
that's
a
cafe
or
some
sort
of
food
and
beverage
supplier
that
can
utilize
the
space
and
the
new
urban
collaborative
will
maintain
management
control
of
the
building.
Y
So
the
programming
of
the
art
space
would
be
intended
to
be
focused
on
local
art,
local
artists,
from
the
nubian
square
community
and
from
I
think,
probably
greater
roxbury
as
well,
and
I
think
if
we
can,
if
we
can
see
the
slide
previous
to
this
in
the
same
master
view
that
you
just
showed,
I
think
that
would
be
adequate
to
discuss.
What's
on
it.
Y
Be
fixing
our
luck,
yeah
don't
push
it.
I
can.
I
can
discuss
the
same
things
with
this.
The
previous
slide
was
an
elevation
of
the
building
and
there
we
go
don't
touch
anything
so
in
the
lower
left,
lower
left.
There's
an
elevation
of
the
building,
which
you
can
see,
there's
a
direct
and
strong
relationship
with
the
palladio
building
to
the
right,
and
you
can
see
the
gap
between
the
buildings
where
that
art
walk
is
the
art.
Walk,
will
also
be
programmed
and
controlled,
partially
or
totally
by
artists
for
humanity.
Y
So
there's
going
to
be
that
relationship
as
well,
and
we've
already
spoken
with
them
about
their
involvement
with
this
project,
so
the
commercial
masonry
base
of
the
building
is
designed
to
reflect
the
masonry
traditions
of
buildings
in
the
adjacent
areas
and
the
residential
tower
or
residential
portion
of
the
building.
I
shouldn't
say
tower:
it's
still
low
rise,
sits
back
from
the
street
and
is
of
a
different
materiality
in
a
different,
proportional
and
different
nature
than
the
rest
of
the
building.
Y
Y
Next,
we
have
some
views
that
are
showing
the
building
in
context
at
a
little
more
of
an
eye
level
perspective.
This
is
at
the
intersection
of
dudley
and
warren
looking
down
toward
nubian
station
and
the
bowling
building
on
the
left
and
roughly
to
the
left
of
where
the
scale
figure
on
the
on
the
drawing
is
it's
where
the
residential
entry
to
the
building
is,
and
that's
the
right
of
the
art
walk
immediately
to
our
right
on
the
corner.
Y
Next
slide,
please
an
aerial
view,
looking
from
kind
of
the
top
floor
of
the
bowling
building,
more
or
less,
maybe
a
little
higher
down
on
the
building.
Again,
you
can
see
that
generous
setback
of
the
residential
component
of
the
building,
stepping
back
away
from
warren
street
and
that
big
swooping
gesture
pointed
toward
nubian
station
and
facing
toward
the
heart
of
new
being
square
next
slide.
Please
a
similar
view,
looking
more
into
nubian
square
and
kind
of
highlighting
that
relationship
of
the
cornice
again
to
the
paladio
building.
Y
H
H
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
One
of
those
spaces
could
be
occupied
by
them,
and
then
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
other
folks
that
the
developer
has
spoken
with
that
could
potentially
take
up
space
there,
but
in
terms
of
relationship
to
the
covet
situation
that
we're
in
directly,
I
don't.
I
can't
speak
directly
to
that,
because
this
building
will
be
coming
online
and
it'll.
You
know
two
to
three
years
from
now
and
circumstances
could
be
very
different
sure.
Y
Y
I
Sure
yeah,
I
just
want
to
commend
the
architects
for
a
design
that
generates
some
dialogue
with
the
architecture
of
the
bowling
building,
and
it
does
strike
me
that
this
is
the
kind
of
building
wherein,
if
traditional
commercial
retail
users
are
not
readily
available,
there
may
be
some
public
sector
uses
related
to
having
the
school
department
directly
across
the
street
and
other
public
facilities
in
that
immediate
area
that
may
have
some
use
for
that
space.
So
I
commend
you
on
on
moving
forward
courageously
with
an
innovative
design
for
that
building.

Thank

okay,
we
did
the
public
hearing
already
item
number
21
request
authorization
to
execute
a
voluntary
compliance
agreement
with
the
u.s
department
of
housing
and
urban
development
regarding
certain
measures
for
the
bra
to
formally
implement
in
accordance
with
title
6
of
the
civil
rights
act
of
1964
and
its
associated
federal
regulations
and
executive
order,
and
more
particularly,
relating
to
language
access
obligations.
Renee.
AB
Many
of
the
provisions
that
hud
introduced
under
the
vca
included
initiatives
that
the
bpda
and
city
had
already
been
working
on.
The
agreement
highlights
the
agencies
and
the
city's
commitment
to
equitable
and
inclusive
access
by
formalizing
the
implementation
of
measures
that
would
expand
language
and
communication
access
for
boston
residents.
AB
AB
B
Well,
I
just
will
say
in
general:
I
think
it's
always
good
to
try
to
improve
our
ways
of
making
the
work
we
do
accessible
to
all,
as
julia
mejia
says
all
means
all,
and
it's
on
us
as
an
agency.
To
being,
I
think
this
agreement
reflects
us
being
more
proactive
in
offering
all
the
work
we
do
in
multiple
languages
so
that
all
the
residents
of
boston
can
participate
and
know
and
understand
what
we're
doing.
A
A
I
thought-
and
you
know
it's
different-
it's
it's
definitely
more
effort,
but
it's
the
it's
the
right
thing,
and
so
I'm
very
happy
as
well
to
see
all
of
the
what
has
come
out
of
of
this.
This
particular
instance
on
on
one
project,
but
but
what
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
for
for
all
projects
right
where
this
is
where
we
need
this
so
cool.
Does
anybody
else?
Have
any
questions.
E
No,
I
have
a
comment
so,
but
what's
come
out
of
it,
I
think,
is
the
facts
that
there
was
over
450
community
meetings
and
every
single
meeting
had
a
spanish
interpreter
and,
as
you
said,
there
was
two
separate
just
for
spanish
language
in
the
arabic.
So
it's
making
the
kind
of
saying
that
they
did
something
wrong.
There
was
a
spanish
interpreter
at
every
single
of
those
450
meetings.
A
You
know
I
I
don't
think
necessarily
this
will
that
we
could
debate.
I
mean
I
think
they're.
You
know
there
was
enough
to
call
to
to
question
right
for
or
additional
actions
to
to
be
had.
I
think
the
process
is
better
for
that
and
and
and
the
the
new
meetings
were
done
in
a
different
way
than
the
other
415
meetings,
and
you
know
again.
D
AB
The
final
details:
we've
done
a
lot
of
work.
The
project
managers,
the
planners,
have
really
been
working
very
hard
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
what
makes
sense
for
our
outreach,
and
I
think
that
it's
been
a
great
process
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we
are
more
inclusive
and
that
we
are
doing
more
outreach
that
we
weren't
doing
as
much
of
before
and
and
really
just
formalizing.
That
process,
and
it's
going
to
be
helpful.
It
already
is
helpful
for
staff
as
well
as
the
community.
AB
So
that's
really
what
we
wanted
to
focus
on
and
and
also
with
what
happened
with
suffolk
downs.
Well,
there
were,
you
know
there
was
much
community
engagement.
There
was
spanish
interpretation
that
you
know
really.
The
focus
was
just
to
say:
okay,
you
know
we're
in
a
pandemic.
Now,
let's
make
sure
we
got
it,
we've
outreached
everyone
we
had
to
do
it
in
different
ways.
E
A
O
I
A
L
H
AG
This
week
the
bpda
notified
the
east
boston
community
that
will
be
holding
a
special
virtual
public
hearing
for
the
suffolk
gowns
redevelopment
on
thursday
september
24th
at
5
30
pm.
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
the
public
a
bit
of
an
advanced
preview
of
what's
coming
normally,
when
we
adjourn
this
evening,
we
come
back
a
month
from
now
for
a
monthly
board
meeting
because
of
the
significance,
the
size,
the
scope,
the
complexity,
the
extraordinary,
extraordinarily
lengthy,
robust
process
associated
with
the
suffolk
country
development.
AG
We
decided
that
the
most
appropriate
way
to
manage
public
participation
in
a
board
proceeding
on
that
subject
was
to
set
aside
a
board
proceeding
just
for
that
matter.
So,
instead
of
trying
to
to
wedge
something
that
big
into
the
october
board
meeting
of
the
september
board
meeting
we've
taken
the
unusual
step
of
carving
of
the
special
board
proceeding.
It
will
take
place
september
24
at
5,
30
p.m.
And
you
know
this.
This
hearing
will
allow
ample
time
for
the
community
community
residents
to
participate
and
for
the
development
team
and
this
agency.
AG
The
bpda
to
respond
to
questions
from
the
community
and
the
board
without
feeling
undue
anxiety
about
time
pressures
associated
with
a
a
board
proceeding
that
was
considering
multiple
matters,
so
it
will
be
held
in
zoom.
Just
as
this
one
has
been
and
simultaneous
translation
services
will
be
provided
on
september
24th
in
both
spanish
and
arabic,
like
our
monthly
board
meetings,
including
this
one.
AG
AG
AG
So
lauren
arrived
here
not
long
after
completing
her
graduate
work
after
working
briefly,
I
believe
in
new
york
city
and
she's
been
with
us
ever
since,
so
she
came
from
the
junior
levels
to
the
middle
levels
and
now
is
moving
into
the
top
job
in
a
permanent
sense
she's.
The
current
she
has
been
up
until
right
now,
both
the
deputy
director
for
downtown
and
neighborhood
planning,
and
has
served
as
interim
director
of
planning
since
early
2019.
AG
So
I
ask
you
and
all
staff
and
all
the
public
who
have
the
good
fortune
of
working
with
lauren
over
the
years
to
join
me
in
congratulating
her
on
her
well-deserved
new
role,
where
she
will
continue
to
help
guide
boston
into
a
more
equitable,
resilient
and
inclusive
future.
So
congratulations
to
lauren
shirt,
lipton
and
thank
you
again
for
your
positive
vote.
AG
Finally,
I
I
want
to
salute
the
the
bpva
team
that
has
been
working
on
the
return
of
students,
undergraduates
and
graduate
students
to
boston.
For
months
now
we
have
been
working
in
a
collaborative
effort
with
other
city
agencies,
some
professionals
outside
of
government
all
together,
john
auerbach.
A
really
wonderful
person
has
been
providing
us
advice.
AG
John
was
the
commissioner
of
public
health
for
the
state
dphc
years
before
that
he
was
the
executive
director
of
the
boston
public
health
commission.
He
he
now
works
in
public
health,
at
a
foundation
in
washington
dc
but
john's
been
providing
us
some
some
key
information
associated
with
some
public
health
practices
and
methodologies
that
will
help
protect
boston
and
the
students
who
return
to
boston
to
attend
school.
So
we've
had
a
very
collaborative
effort
inside
government
and
outside
government.
Our
work
has
been
led
by
newport
manani.
AG
So
a
lot
of
work
has
gone
on
to
the
into
this.
In
recent
months,
about
40,
plus
thousand
students,
40
000
plus,
have
come
back
to
boston.
Normally,
we
have
over
well
over
a
hundred
thousand,
but
we've
got
tens
of
thousands
of
students.
Who've
returned
in
the
work
of
new
core
and
gerald
ottler
in
institutional
planning
and
eddie
carmody
in
development
review.
AG
They've
been
working
closely
with
the
universities
to
make
sure
that
students
return
safely
that
they
there
are
plans
in
place
for
them
to
live
safely
within
the
city
and
prevent
the
spread
of
the
disease.
This
is
really
important
where,
as
we
take
steps
to
recover
in
the
in
the
spirit
in
the
realm
of
higher
education,
so
thanks
to
all
the
bp
daa
team
that
has
played
a
really
important
role
in
making
that
happen.
