A
Hello
and
thank
you
for
joining
the
june
economic
development
and
industrial
corporation
of
boston
board
meeting
at
this
time.
The
boston
planning
and
development

public
meetings
in
a
virtual

for
the
health,
safety
and

of
boston
residents

A
The
open
public
meeting
law
requires
that
I
notify
the
public
that
this
meeting
is
being
reported.
Please
be
aware
that
an
audio
and
visual
reporting
of
this
meeting
is
being
made
and
broadcast
by
boston
city
tv,
which
is
a

E
Thank
you,
madam
chair
topologic
is
a
contract
manufacturing
company,
utilizing
compact
digital
mining
machines
to
fabricate
custom
living
protocols,
we're
requesting
entry
for
five,
at
least
for
suite
number
805.
We
call
channel
street
which,
as
you
said,
consists
of
about
2
928
square
feet.
The
lease
would
commence
in
july
of
2022
that
was
next
month.
However,
sweet
eagle
5
would
not
be
good
for
occupancy
until
august
of
2022..
E
There
will
be
supposed
to
temporarily
locate
topological
in
speed
505
for
30
to
60
days
until
305
is
34.
Suite
505
is
half
the
size
of
805.
So
it's
not
the
long-term
solution,
but
we're
very
happy
to
have
a
stop
that
measure
to
assist
the
company
to
get
started.
E
Fixed
friend
would
start
at
30
dollars
per
square
foot
or
roughly
87,
000
or
100
per
year,
and
will
increase
annually
by
an
additional
dollar
per
square.
Foot
edsc
was
introduced
to
topologic
by
commercial
real
estate,
firm
honolulu,
who
has
earned
the
real
estate
commission
in
this
transaction
as
a
result
of
the
transaction,
and
also
behind
his
assistance
in
finalizing
these
negotiations
and
explaining
the
market
to
the
tenant,
which
is
the
government's
job.
So
they
would
definitely
look
great.
E
The
three
would
be
negotiating
in
a
separate
agreement
and
it's
expected
to
be
less
than
twenty-five
thousand
dollars.
Although
tropologic
is
a
start-up
company,
they
closed
down
some
venture
capital
funding.
This
week,
I
personally
spoke
with
the
venture
capital
from
to
confirm
that
the
funds
can
be
used
towards
paying
a
rent
to
euic
that
was
confirmed
through
the
affirmative
on
that
during
the
term
release,
the
uic
will
receive
over
445
dollars.
That's
half
the
county
real
estate
commission
for
hunger.
E
E
A
In
roll
call
for
a
vote,
mr
monahan
hi,
dr

mr

and
the

Thank
you.
Next
item
item
number
three
request:
authorization
to
enter
into
a
license
agreement
with
mass
bay,
brewing
company
incorporated
to
allow
harpoon
to
reopen
the
outdoor
hospitality
space
on
a
small
car
portion
of
parcel
s3
before
the
mr
swindle's
traveling,
peculiar
and
drink
bori
garden
within
the
raymond
alflin
marine
park
dennis.
E
E
there
have
been
in
negotiations
with
an
adult
circus,
as
you
said,
called
mr
swindles,
based
on
representations
made
and
checking
out
the
mrs
finlay's
website.
It's
best
compared
to
surface
oil.
It's
an
adult
oriented
services.
It's
it's
not.
E
The
circus
is
proposed
from
october
5th
to
november
8th
2022
hosting
a
surface,
is
a
new
business
model
for
both
household
and
deviation
harpoon
and
is
expending
considerable
upfront
costs
to
finance
the
relocation
and
set
up
our
good
surface
before
the
first
ticket
was
even
sold.
E
Our
program
and
edsc
staff
have
agreed
on
a
business
model
that
we
think
is
fair
in
this,
for
this
inaudible
will
continue
to
pay
to
eac,
twelve
and
a
half
percent
adverse
receipts
from
beer
sales,
all
liquor
sales,
actually
in
the
event,
which
is
consistent
with
our
business
arrangement
for
the
outdoor
beer
garden,
and
they
will
also
pay
us
six
percent
of
the
first
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
tickets,
merchandise,
twelve
and
a
half
percent
of
the
subsequent
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
fifteen
percent
of
any
revenue
they
receive
over
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars.
E
E
Hopefully
it
will
be
a
success
and
we
will
repeat
this
exercise
again
next
year,
where
we
will
have
a
full
year
of
quantified
economics
to
consider
when
negotiating
that
next
newspaper,
but
for
now
I'm
requesting
permission
to
harpoon
to
host
mr
swindle
circus
for
october
november
2022
only
on
the
terms
and
conditions
they
just
discussed.
A
Thank
you
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
A
Roll
call
for

Immission
item
number
four
request:
authorization
to
enter
into
a
license
agreement
or
sorry
request
authorization
to
enter
into
a
lease
agreement
with
droplet
incorporated
for
the
use
of
storage
cage
b7,
which
is
approximately
1
236
square
feet
located
at
12
channel
street.
Within
the
raymond
l
flynn
marine
park
dennis.
E
Several
years
ago,
edic
installed
a
series
of
chainring
storage
cages
in
different
sizes
in
the
basement
of
12th
gen
street,
to
both
service,
serving
increasing
storage
needs
and
protons
for
tenants
and
to
take
advantage
of
a
revenue
generating
opportunity
recently
conducted
a
market
analysis
of
storage
facilities
and
determining
that
a
fair
rate
to
charge
12
gallons
three
times
the
use
of
the
storage
stages
is
15
per
square
foot.
E
Droplet
has
been
attended
in
12
channel
streets
since
2020
and
currently
underpriced,
three
suites.
They
develop
a
device
for
needle-free
delivery
of
non-intravenous
medicine
below
the
skin
line.
It's
basically
a
device.
E
They
only
need
an
additional
storage
space
and
I'd
like
to
license
what
we've
labeled
as
cage
b7,
consisting
of
just
over
1200
square
feet
in
the
basement,
proposing
a
three
and
a
half
year
term,
and
with
the
fee
calculated
at
fifty
dollars
per
square
foot,
we
would
result
in
an
annual
fee
of
18
540
and
over
the
term
of
the
proposed
agreement.
You'll
receive
a
minimum
of
sixty
six
thousand
four
hundred
dollars.
E
E
Thank
you
I'll
skip
the
preamble,
which
is
identical
to
the
previous
title.
Massive
artist
has
been
attending
12
transfers
since
2017..
We
have
to
find
two
suites
in
the
building.
Masterbiotics
is
a
shared
working
collaborative
similar
to
wework,
but
it's
specifically
for
our
robotics
companies,
a
lot
of
startups,
so
there's
a
lot
of
robots
providing
companies
up
to
50
at
any
time.
E
In
total
industry
within
mass
product
space,
they're
needed
additional
storage
space
and
they'd
like
to
license
the
cage
that
we
really
don't
use,
1b,
which
is
much
smaller
than
the
previous
one.
It's
250
square
feet
at
the
same
15
dollars
per
square
foot,
proposing
a
five-year
license
which
would
result
in
an
annual
fee
of
4890
and
during
the
term
of
the
proposed
license,
we
would
receive
just
under
25
000.
A
H
G
A
I
Thank
you
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
This
request
is
for
authorization
to
execute
a
design
contract
with
gale
associates
for
12
channel
streak
to
repair
the
loading
dock
platform
in
the
marine
park.
This
matter
was
last
before
you
at
the
blur
2021
board
meeting.
As
you
may
recall,
12
channel
street
is
a
nine
story.
Masonry
building
originally
constructed
by
the
us
military
in
1941
is
currently
a
light
industrial
manufacturing
building
with
several
tenants.
I
The
building
has
a
loading
dock
that
wraps
around
three
of
the
four
sides
of
the
building
each
covered
with
a
concrete
awning
or
overhang,
both
the
wraparound
loading
dock
and
the
overhang
showstein
deterioration,
which
require
repair
to
maintain
serviceability
and
public
safety.
This
project
seeks
to
extend
the
service
life
another
30
years.
The
design
work
will
include
a
structural
assessment
and
repair,
drawing
storing
the
condition
of
the
loading
dock
and
bring
the
assembly
up
to
current
codes.
Plans
and
specifications
will
be
prepared
in
accordance
with
chapter
149
of
the
massachusetts
general
laws.
I
The
contract
will
also
include
bid
assistance,
resident
engineering
services
and
construction
administration.
The
agency
issued
a
formal
request
for
qualifications
in
accordance
with
chapter
7c
of
the
massachusetts
general
laws
on
april
14th
of
this
year.
The
process
included
outreach
to
disadvantaged
firms
and
a
pre-submission
conference
was
held.
Six
firms
submitted
qualifications
in
response
to
the
solicitation
on
may
16th.
A
designer
selection
committee
was
assembled
to
review
each
submitting
team's
qualifications
and
relevant
experience.
I
Based
on
that
review
and
follow
up
with
the
response.
The
committee
universally
recommends
the
design
contract
be
awarded
to
gale
associates.
The
total
contract
value
would
be
for
185
thousand
dollars.
It
has
been
appropriately
budgeted
for
in
the
fiscal
year
22
capital
budget.
Therefore
we
are
requesting
the
director
be
authorized
to
enter
into
this
contract.
If
there
are
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
them.
A
I
Thank
you
again.
This
matter
was
last
before
you
at
the
december
2021
board
meeting
fit
kennedy
was
planned
for
a
primary
truck
route.
It
currently
is
one
it
is
planned
to
rename
one
and
it
terminates
at
the
northern
avenue.
I
Rotary
massport
owns
that
rotary
and
they
are
looking
into
changes
in
that
intersection
to
make
it
more
efficient,
most
likely
it'll
turn
into
a
signalized
intersection
that,
coupled
with
the
potential
redevelopment
of
the
v1
parking
lot
at
the
leaderbank
pavilion
in
the
marine
park,
a
concept
is
needed
for
the
realignment
of
fed
kennedy
avenue
that
will
both
maximize
trucking
efficiency,
pedestrian
and
bicyclist
safety
as
well
maximize
the
future
development
potential
of
the
v1
parking
lot.
I
This
contract
will
include
engagement
with
all
of
the
impacted
stakeholders,
including
the
marine
partners,
massport
the
city
of
boston,
their
transportation
departments
and
their
public
works
departments,
and
it
will
inform
the
study
and
assessment
and
result
in
three
concepts
for
consideration.
So
the
agency
issued
a
rfp
in
april
of
this
year.
The
process
included
outreach
to
disadvantaged
firms.
40
interested

Four
firms
submitted
a
response
to
the
solicitation
on

4th.
I
A

was
assembled
to

they
are
uniquely
qualified
in
that
they
have
multiple
in-house
architectural
engineering
disciplines
which
are
needed
for
this
particular
study.
The

has
been

A
I
William,
thank
you
again.
This
matter
was
last
before
the
november
2021
board
meeting
you
may
recall,
the
project
site
consists
of
approximately
three
miles
of
roadway
infrastructure.
It
includes
an
independent
storm
drainage
system.
That
system
consists
of
211
maintenance,
holes,
255
catch
basins,
nearly
a
mile
of
drainage
pipe
and
two
outs
into
boston
harbor.
This
system
was
originally
constructed
in
the
1930s
by
the
us
military
and
the
last
comprehensive
assessment
dates
back
to
1995..
I
We
look
to
facilitate
the
intended
transfer
of
the
marine
park,
roadways
to
the
city
of
boston
and
this
contract
will
seek
to
design
upgrades
to
the
system
that
meet
both
dwsc
and
nyra

It
would
also
look

The

I
This

included
outreach

disadvantaged

29
interested

The
designer

William.
I
Again,
it's
a
busy
month
for
the
capital
team.
This
request
is
for
an
engineering
design
contract
and
the
matter
was
last
before
you
at
the
november
2021
board
meeting
you
may
recall
project.
It
is
very
closely
related
to
the
previous
board
votes,
looking
to
transfer
the
city's
roadways
to
the
city
of
boston.
I
This
this
contract
would
include
the
the
survey,
the
assessment,
the
collaboration
coordination
with
the
city's
80s
and
resulting
plans
and
specifications
prepared
in
accordance
with
chapter
30
39am
of
the
massachusetts
general
laws.
The
contract
would
also
include
permitting
bidding
assistance
and
resident
engineering
services.
I
We
issued
the
request
for
proposals
at
the
same
time
as
the
last
court
vote
on
april,
4th
27
interested
parties
downloaded
the
solicitation
two
submitted
proposals.
The
designer
selection
committee
was
the
symbol
of
reviewed
each
qualifications,
experience
and
fee,
and
unanimously
recommended
the
engineering
contract
to
be
awarded
to
gpi.
The
contract
award
is
for
592
310.
It
was
appropriately
budgeted
for
in
the
fy
22
capital
budget.
Therefore,
we
are
requesting
the
director
hazation
to
enter
into
this
contract
with
freeman
peterson,
incorporated
known
as
gpi
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
K
Yeah,
well,
you
might.
I
could
just
use
your
perspective
on
the
last
two
items
it
looked
like
we
had
27,
potentially
interested
parties,
but
only
two
real
bidders,
any
any
feel
for
you
know
why
we
have
so
few
bidders
on
these
projects.
I
I
think,
ultimately,
it
just
comes
down
to
the
significant
amount
of
work
that
these
firms
have
before
them,
and
they
get
to
be
quite
selective
in
who
they
go
after.
We
did
follow
up
with
folks,
and
that
was
really.
The
overall
comment
was
that
they
just
have
a
lot
of
work
and
they're
being
very
selective
in
which
projects
they
go
after.
A
A
I
Thank
you.
So
this
matter
was
last
before
the
september
of
last
year,
when
we
awarded
the
construction
project,
this
associated
design
contract
needs
to
be
amended
to
increase
the
contract
amount
by
fifty
five
thousand
one
hundred
eighty
two
dollars
to
allow
for
continued
full-time
inspection
by
the
engineer
of
record
of
this
continued
work
that
is
currently
underway
along
northern
avenue.
You
may
recall
that
project
is
installing
separate
bicycle
lanes
and
pedestrian
sidewalks
to
increase
multimodal
means
of
transportation
within
the
marine
park,
while
also
maintaining
a
trucking
efficiency.
I
B
D
A
And
the
chairman
by
mission,
passes
item
number
11
request.
Authorization
executed,
signed
contract
amendment
with
studio
e
knee
incorporated
for
additional
design
and
construction
administration
services
for
the
12
channel
street
stair
pressurization
project
within
the
raymond
offline
marine
park
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
153
519,
william.
I
Thank
you.
So
this
project
was
last
before
you
in
january
of
last
year
for
the
authorization
to
award
this
design
contract
that
we're
looking
to
amend.
We
need
to
increase
the
contract
amount
by
153
519
to
accommodate
certain
unforeseen
conditions
and
design
constraints.
The
resulting
amended
total
contract
amount
will
be
333
519.
I
Originally
we
contemplated
the
central
stairwell
stairwell,
a
being
the
one
that
would
be
modified
to
create
a
smoke-free
emergency,
egress
pressurization
system.
Well
into
the
design
of
these
modifications,
it
was
determined
that
we
would
need
to
abandon
the
central
stairwell
sterile,
a
and
pivot
to
a
front
and
center
stairwell
stairwell
b
with
that
as
well.
There
was
additional
work
that
had
to
be
done,
so
we
had
to
redesign
the
work
and
it
also
triggered
some
additional
requirements,
specifically
some
rooftop
screening
that
had
to
be
designed.
I
So
we
are
looking
to
increase
the
contract
amount
as,
as
earlier
said,
to
redesign
this
one
and
to
bring
in
the
additional
requirements
of
the
rooftop
screen.
The
current
fy
22
budget
is
a
is
appropriate
for
this
amendment
and
therefore
we're
asking
for
authorization
for
the
director
to
admit
this.
Contract
right
stumbled
there
just
a
little
bit
apologize
if
they're
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
ask
them.
A
Okay,
you've
got
a
couple
of
these
in
a
row,
so
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
B
Is
this
a
minority
or
women-owned
firm.
I
They
are
yes
and
mwbe.
Thank
you.
A
Mr
miller
aye
and
the
chair
of
I'm
motion
passes.
Thank
you
very
much
right
item
number

request
authorization
to
award
three
year
contracts
for
general
repairs
and
maintenance
services
on
an
as
needed
basis
for
edic

Laura.
L
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
laura
melly,
I'm
the
deputy
director
for
real
estate
administration,
I'm
requesting
authorization
to
award
a
package
of
as
needed
contracts
for
general
repair
and
maintenance
services
at
bpda
properties.
I'll
note
this
is
a
joint
procurement
with
the
edic
acting
as
the
lead
jurisdiction
on
behalf
of
the
bra,
so
this
matter
will
also
appear
on
the
bra
agenda
later
this
afternoon.
L
As
you
know,
bpda
staff
manage
our
property
as
though
we
live
next
door
and
our
staff
are
supported
by
a
variety
of
contractors
across
specialized
trades.
These
general
prepared
maintenance
services
have
typically
been
handled
as
one-offs
or
addressed
through
one
large
contract
with
a
single
general
contractor.
L
But
our
goal
through
this
work
order
program
is
to
put
contracts
in
place
with
diverse
group
of
vendors
and
and
if
our
staff
has
access
to
multiple
as
needed
contracts,
the
bpda
will
be
more
strategic
and
proactive
and
will
be
able
to
respond
more
quickly
to
urgent
issues
across
all
neighborhoods
I'll
note.
This
is
the
third
of
three
work
order:
programs
that
were
strategic
priorities
for
the
real
estate
department.
L
L
We
receive
27
bids
submitted
by
six
unique
firms
again
across
the
13
categories,
and
three
of
those
six
firms
are
certified
as
mwbe's
minority
and
women
owned
business
entities,
all
of
the
firms
are
qualified
and
there
were
no
more
than
three
bids
per
category.
Therefore,
we
are
planning
to
award
to
all
respondents
and
are
requesting
authorization
to
enter
into
these
six
general
repair
contracts.
With
that,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
consideration
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
J
I
have
one
question,
madam
chair.
Well,
I
assume
this
is
being
fit
through
chapter
149.
L
Yeah,
yes,
exactly
yeah,
it's
like
a
joint
3039
m
149,
but
we
went
with
the
sort
of
most
stringent
procurement
requirements.
L
We
we
were
awarding
to
up
to.
We
were
awarding
to
the
three
lowest
bids
in
each
category,
and
so
we
actually
didn't
receive
more
than
three
bids
in
any
of
the
categories,
and
so
we
were
able
to
award
to
everybody.
So
in
some
cases,
there's
actually
multiple
folks
available
to
us
in
each
category
and
we'll
go
through
a
work
order
quote
process
to
to
select
the
best
partner
for
each
job.
It's.
J
L
At
this
point,
we've
we've
the
bids
consisted
of
hourly
rates
for
a
sample
representative
project.
I
I
think
I
think
we
would
have
more
to
share
with
you
after
reflecting
on
a
few
months
of
the
program.
I
do
know
that
you
know
supply
and
material
transportation.
Costs
are
increasing
everywhere,
but
we
do
feel
that
the
that
the
hourly
rates
we
have
locked
in
are
a
great
value,
but
I
I
will
say
that
we're
seeing
the
cost
increases
that
that
everybody's,
seeing.
L
Right
we
we
put
a
placeholder
number
of
hours
to
in
order
to
do
an
apples
to
apples
comparison,
but
the
actual
cost
will
depend
on
each
specific
work
order
as
the
needs
come
up,
and
so
that's
why
we'll
actually
request
a
quote
when
we
have
a
specific
job
so
that
we
can
get
again
a
price
for
a
specific
project
before
we
move
forward
like
oh,
we
have
to
do
roadway
repairs
in
a
certain
area.
We
would
get
quotes
for
that
from
the
folks
that
are
on
the
contract.
Okay,.
M
M
L
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Any
questions
or
comments.
A
Okay,
hearing
and
saying
none
of
motion
is
in
order.
A
Item
number
13
has
been
removed
on
to
item
number
14
request
authorization
to
award
a
consulting
services
contract
with
deloitte
consulting
llp,
to
conduct
a
compensation
study
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
seventeen
thousand
four
hundred
sixty
six
dollars
and
sixty
cents.
Michelle.
N
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
We
are
seeking
approval
to
award
a
contract
to
engage,
delayed
consulting
for
compensation
study
services.
This
action
will
allow
the
bpda
to
review
a
good
proportion
of
our
positions
benchmark
against
the
industry.
We
are
hiring
from
and
ensure
that
the
bpda
is
paying
competitive
salaries
for
top
talent.
Twice.
The
bpda
made
an
effort
to
seek
competitive
proposals
from
organizations
that
provide
this
service.
Our
our
first
rfc
was
released
in
november
2021
and
responses
were
supposed
to
come
back
in
early
july
suppliers.
N
Rightfully
noted
this
was
not
a
convenient
time
of
year
to
be
preparing
a
proposal.
The
project
timeline
was
too
short
and
staff
would
need
more
time
to
prepare
proposals.
We
took
that
feedback
into
consideration
and
released
second
rfp.
We
did
receive
proposals,
however.
The
review
committee
determined
that
none
of
those
proposals
were
advantageous
for
the
bpda.
N
They
were
unable
the
bpda
wears
many
hats,
so
to
speak,
and
so
it's
kind
of
tricky
to
put
a
study
like
this
together
in
a
cost-effective
manner.
Therefore,
we
leveraged
the
state
purchasing
platform.
Deloitte
was
determined
to
offer
the
best
price
for
our
specific
needs.
We
have
reviewed
a
statement
of
work
and
are
confident
that
by
awarding
this
contract,
the
bpda
will
be
a
more
competitive
employer.
This
concludes
my
remarks
and
I
am
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
A
O
So
we
did
our
first
ever
compensation
study
in
2016
or
17,
and
then
we
updated
it
annually
until
2019.
I
believe
so
it
hasn't
been
updated.
Recently
we
are
what
deloitte
is
going
to
do
is
sort
of
just
a
comprehensive
review
of
of
all
of
our
salary
bands
in
our
position.
So
it's
almost
like
we're
doing
it
all
over
again,
so
it's
very
it'll
be
it'll,
be
very,
very
thorough.
A
Okay,
great
great
okay,
I
believe
emotion
is
in
order,
so.
B
A
B
A
N
N
I
am
before
you
seeking
approval
for
the
fy
23
operating
capital
budget.
We
are
currently
in
the
edic
portion
of
the
agenda.
I
will
be
presenting
a
combined
look
at
the
bpda
at
the
conclusion
of
this
presentation.
We
will
seek
a
vote
for
the
edic,
and
the
bra
vote
will
be
towards
the
end
of
the
agenda
tonight.
It
would
also
like
to
take
a
moment
to
express
appreciation
before
we
dive
in,
for
all
the
collaborative
teamwork
that
went
into
building
this
budget.
N
N
N
N
Over
the
past
several
years,
the
bpda
has
been
able
to
reduce
our
long-term
liabilities.
The
vpda
is
in
a
strong
financial
position
because
of
the
efforts
made
by
many
across
the
agency.
We
have
implemented
creative
solutions
to
keep
health
costs.
Sorry
benefits
costs
low
as
healthcare
costs
rise.
Those
efforts
allow
for
more
strategic
budget
investments
next
slide.
N
Please
and
finally,
this
process
is
supporting
a
robust
growth
throughout
the
agency,
as
we
seek
to
link
data
that
we
have
with
all
of
the
amazing
work
that
this
organization
is
doing
as
we
expand
our
efforts
and
supplier
diversity
and
community
outreach.
For
example,
the
bpda
needs
to
be
able
to
have
the
systems
to
collect
the
data
that
drives
our
work
in
real
time.
N
Next
slide,
please.
As
a
quick
reminder
in
our
budget
presentation,
I
like
to
remind
folks
we
are
actually
a
collection
of
agencies.
Structurally,
we
have
three
corporations
and
two
501
c
threes.
We
have
multiple
general
ledgers
and
use
an
inter-agency
brand
to
make
sure
everything
is
balanced
and
prepared
for
the
various
products
that
we
have
to
go
through,
but
from
a
financial
perspective,
we
are
the
edic
and
the
bra
functioning
as
the
bpda
next
slide.
Please
just
briefly
we'll
move
into
our
operating
budget
go
to
the
next
slide.
N
Thank
you,
so
you'll
see
here
a
summary
of
our
table
from
a
revenue
point
of
view,
we'll
start
talking
about
fy22,
so
that
can
be
in
order
to
be
sure
about
the
plan
for
next
year.
We
have
to
have
solid
projections
for
the
end
of
our
current
year.
We
report
to
this
body
every
quarter
and
the
trend
has
remained
consistent.
N
We
know,
of
course,
that
our
activities
play
out
over
a
longer
period
of
time,
and
we
now
maintain
reserves
with
the
help
of
this
body
to
be
sure
that
we
can
match
up
one
time
revenue
with
one
time
expenses
that
don't
take
place
at
the
same
time.
So
the
operating
surplus
that
we're
seeing
in
fy
22
will
result
in
additional
funding
in
our
reserves.
N
N
So
from
a
courses
and
uses
perspective
right
here
we
have
the
breakdown
of
our
revenue.
You
can
see
right
here
that,
from
a
revenue
point
of
view,
these
categories
as
a
whole,
our
rental
and
leases
income-
is
growing.
Owd
grants
and
donations
will
also
be
seeing
a
large
increase
in
the
next
fiscal
year.
With
the
fy
23
budget
parking
now
makes
up
a
significant
portion
of
our
projected
revenue.
N
Fy
23
is
budgeted
to
see
an
increase
in
outside
consulting,
and
that
includes
the
contractual
services
category
and
we'll
get
more
into
those
details.
In
a
moment.
We
are
also
seeing
an
increase
for
critical
repairs
in
fy
23
in
the
property
management
categories.
Next
slide,
please
so
for
revenue
highlights
here
we
will
be
seeing.
We
have
been
seeing
great
performance
from
our
tenants
and
our
parking
lots
and
we
anticipate
there
to
be
an
increase
there.
N
N
N
For
expenses,
the
dpda
is
committed
to
filling
out
our
workforce
and
hiring
for
fy23.
The
personnel
budget
does
include
39
vacant
positions
with
22
requests.
You'll
see,
we
are
also
including
investments
for
transformation
with
new
leadership.
We
have
come
up
with
a
few
budgets
for
new
leadership
to
drive
transformation,
so
that
is
included
in
here
as
well.
For
non-personnel
expenses,
it's
important
to
note
that
owd
is
doing
extraordinary
work
to
move
funds
out
into
the
community.
Their
budget
is
showing
that
increase
in
grant
funded
expenses
is
six
million
dollar
increase.
N
That
is
the
result
of
increased
revenue.
The
next
slide,
please,
to
account
for
the
vpda's
ongoing
position
management
needs.
Finance
has
been
working
with
hr
to
provide
the
reports
necessary
to
maintain
our
total
headcounts.
We
have
been
leveraging
a
new
database,
we've
been
referring
to
airtable.
It
has
helped
us
manage
headcounts.
We
have
a
long
way
to
go,
but
we're
excited
to
share
more
and
more
data.
It
is
clear
that
we
have
a
lot
of
vacancies
to
spell
next
slide,
please
so
for
our
capital
budget.
We
can
skip
one
more
over
the
bpda.
H
N
Large
list
of
capital
construction
projects
that
we
talk
about
just
about
every
time
we
meet
our
current
focus
is
the
already
existing
project
from
last
the
last
few
fiscal
years
that
we
will
be
rolling
forward
and
the
new
projects
that
are
on
the
top
of
the
priority
list
for
the
capital.
Construction

here
is
a
breakdown
of
the
new
project
for

N
It's
a
combined
total
request
of
15.8
million
dollars.
The
vra
will
be
continuing
to
update
and
upgrade
the
china
trade
center,
and
there
are
a
large
number
of
structural
repair
projects
that
are
needed
to
be
conducted
in
the
charlestown
navy
yard
and
in
charlestown
we're
working
to
extend
the

as
well.
The

terminal.
The
next
slide
please.
N
A
Thank
you,
michelle
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
J
I
have
a
question,
madam
champ,
michelle
we
on
the
revenue
side
are,
we,
are
we
equal
to
a
post?
I
mean
pre
called
it.
N
So
I
would
say
yes,
we've
recovered
and
then
some,
I
think
what
we
are
very
pleased
to
see
his
parking
revenue
has
has
increased.
I
think
we
were
kind
of
debating
what
the
pandemic
impact
would
be,
and
I
think,
as
folks
are
hybriding,
it's
actually
prompting
us
to
have
a
higher
higher
utilization.
N
Sorry,
higher
earnings
per
spot,
more
employers
are
paying
for
parking
and
so
we're
collecting
more
per
spot.
We're
also
noticing
that
our
tenants
happened
to
be
in
industries
that
weren't
as
hard
hit
as
some
others,
and
so
anyone
that
was
participating
in
our
deferment
program
has
since
recovered
and
everybody
has
returned
to
their
scheduled
demons.
N
A
Additional
questions
or
comments:
well,
like
always
michelle
a
very
you,
know,
kudos
to

Freya,

just
want

2019
board
meeting
to
provide
certain
space
in
the
building
to
these
agencies
without
assessing
a
license
fee.
Today,
I'm
here
to
ask
that
the
bpda
authorized
the
director
to
amend
each
of
these
license
agreements
through
july
thirty.
First,

I
Hello
again,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
this
matter
was
last
before
you
at
the
december
21
board
meeting
to
request
authorization
to
explicit
qualifications
and
fee
for
this
work.
As
you
will
likely
recall,
the
fencing
along
chelsea
street
runs
about
1500
feet
and
is
part
of
the
navy
yard's
historic
monument
area
governed
by
the
national
park
service.
It
is
constructed
of
iron
fence
panels,
supported
by
intermediate
masonry
columns,
both
the
iron
fencing
components
and
the
masonry
columns
are
in
critical
condition
and
in
need
of
repair
and
restoration
to
prevent
failure
and
loss.
I
The
agency
issued
a
formal
request
for
proposals
in
accordance
with
the
agency's
designer
selection
policy
on
april
4th
of
this
year.
The
process
included
outreach
to
30
or
included
outreach
to
e
and
wbe
firms,
and
it
resulted
in
31
interested
parties
downloading
our
solicitation.
However,
only
one
firm
submitted
a
response
rate
down
its
landscape
architecture.
I
They
submitted
their
responding
20th
in
accordance
with
the
requirements
of
the
solicitation.
A
designer
select
meeting
wasn't
simple
to
review
that
qualification
package
and
based
on
that
review,
the
committee
for
the
qualifications
of
ray
dunn,
that's
to
be
highly
advantageous
and
unanimously
recommends
award
of
the
engineering
contract.
I
This
spur
has
significant
experience
with
this
type
of
historic
fence.
Restoration
done
work
both
within
the
city
of
boston,
for
the
city
of
boston,
as
well
as
other
towns.
Municipalities
in
your
boston
area,
the
total
contract
award
is
for
eighty
one
thousand
forty
seven
dollars.
It's
been
appropriately
budgeted
for
in
the
agency's
fiscal
year,
22
capital
budget.
Therefore,
we
are
requesting
that
the
director
be
authorized
to
enter
into
this
contract
with
ray
donetsk
on
state
architecture.
I
One
final
comment
following
mr
miller's
question
at
the
previous
meeting
regarding
the
low
number
of
responses,
we
received
no
constructive
criticism
from
the
parties
who
downloaded
the
solicitation.
This
is
yet
another
situation
where
the
engineers
have
ample
work
before
them
and
they
are
being
quite
selective.
I
It
is
not
over
budget.
No,
in
fact,
I'm
very
happy
with
this
fee
proposal.

L
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
to
follow
up
on
the
earlier
vote
on
the
edic
portion
of
the
agenda
and,
as
stated
as
the
in
the
preamble,
I'm
requesting
authorization
to
award
a
package
of
as
needed
contracts
for
general
repair
and
maintenance
services
at
bpda
properties.
The
details
are
the
same
as
those
presented
earlier
today,
but
I'm
happy
to
provide
any
additional
information.
That
might
be
helpful
and
thank
you
once
again.
J
P
A
U
Thank
you,
madam
chair
director
jemison
madam
secretary
and
members
of
the
board,
I'm
requesting
an
additional
nine
month
month,
extension
to
the
tentative
designation
for
tenants
development
corporation
of
roxbury
tdc
for
the
redevelopment
of
this
bpda-owned
parcel.
The
board
originally
voted
to
award
tdc
tentative
designation
in
june
2018
and
has
extended
the
tentative
designation
at
boards
in
2019-2020
and,
most
recently
in
december,
of
2021.
U
As
you
recall,
tdc
is
proposing
to
develop
a
community
center,
including
office
space
for
its
headquarters.
The
total
development
cost
of
the
project
is
approximately
nine
million
dollars
financed
by
new
market
tax
credits,
a
conventional
construction
loan
and
a
capital
campaign
of
just
under
four
million
dollars.
U
As
previously
reported,
tdc
has
raised
approximately
947
000
of
the
total
3.9
million
dollar
current
capital
campaign.
Tdc
is
awaiting
hearing
from
the
new
commonwealth,
racial
equity
and
social
justice
fund
for
consideration
for
the
organization's
round
of
major
gifts
it
will
deploy
in
the
spring
of
2022..
U
These
gifts
will
range
from
50
000
to
250.
000
tdc
is
also
awaiting
hearing
on
their
recent
2.3
million
dollar
grant
application.
The
commonwealth
of
massachusetts
for
funding
that
is
sourced
through
the
federal
american
rescue
plan
act
of
2021
arpa
funds,
for
which
the
state
is
listening,
applications
from
community-based
organizations
if
tdc
receives
this
funding
in
full,
the
capital
campaign
for
the
community
center
will
be
fulfilled.
U
This
would
enable
them
to
finalize
the
remainder
of
their
financing
and
move
towards
finalizing
construction
drawings
and
into
the
zoning
and
approvals
process,
and
I
did
email
them
earlier
today.
I
was
hoping
they
would
have
some
news
on
one
of
these,
but
they
they
haven't
heard
as
of
yet
so
hopefully
they'll
be
hearing
any
day
now.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
U
A
Thank
you.
Any
questions
from
the

hearing

seeing
nonemotion

an

The
crescent
parcel
is
approximately
73
000
square
feet,
comprised
of
eight
parcels
of
vacant
land,
two
owned
by
the
bpda
three
owned
by
mass
d.o.t
and
three
owned
by
the
city
of
boston.
The
property
is
located
in
both
the
campus
high
school
and
the
south
end
urban
renewal
areas.
The
bpda
released
a
request
for
proposals
for
the
redevelopment
of
crescent
parcel.
In
january
2021,
the
rfp
contemplated
a
mixed-use
development
consisting
of
residential
housing
with
ground
floor,
commercial
or
retail
use.
V
On
november
18
2021,
the
bpda
board
voted
to
approve
the
tentative
designation
of
drexel
village
for
the
redevelopment
of
the
crescent
parcel.
The
development
team
proposes
a
313
000
square
foot
development
with
206
rental
units
and
11
home
ownership
units
with
31
000
square
feet
of
community
space
for
the
social
services
agencies
currently
located
on
the
crescent
parcel
and
parish
space
for
the
saint
catherine
drexel
church.
The
proposed
development
will
also
include
improvements
to
the
abutting
parcel
owned
by
the
roman
catholic
archdiocese
of
boston
since
being
granted
tentative
designation.
V
During
the
request,
a
six-month
extension,
the
development
team
plans
to
complete
the
article
80
and
article
37
processes,
as
well
as
design
review
with
the
bpda
and
mayor's
office
of
housing.
Drexel
village,
will
also
negotiate
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
ground
lease
with
the
bpda.
Thank
you
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
V
So
we
have
decided
to
move
forward
with
six
months,
given
our
relationship
with
massdot
they'd
like
to
see
the
team
back
to
the
board
and
making
significant
progress
under
that
time.
So
I
don't
believe
that
six
months
will
lead
to
the
completion
of
all
of
those
steps,
but
I
think
we'll
get
very
close
and
will
show
progress
for
massdot.

The
total
development
cost
of
this
project
is
approximately
118
million
one
hundred
ninety
seven
thousand
six
hundred
eighty
nine
dollars
since
the
last
extension.
Nobody
in
the
sense
has
made
significant
progress
towards
final
designation.
Some
of
the
milestones
they
have
achieved
in
this
process
include
securing
pre-construction
financing,
totaling,
seven
million
nine
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
sponsors,
private
investors,
donations
and
awards
from
the
massachusetts
housing,
investment,
blue,
blue
hub
and
other
partners.
They
have
also
received
one
million
dollars.
W
They
have
made
progress
towards
meeting
their
goal
of
60
pre-leasing
by
partnering,
with
the
bridgeman
franklin
institute
of
technology
to
establish
a
newbie
square
life
science
training
center.
They
have
completed
ground
lease
negotiations
with
the
bpda
and
are
working
towards
executing
the
final
ground
lease.
Lastly,
they
have
filed
appeals
with
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
seeking
the
zoning
relief
necessary
to
begin
construction
on
the
proposed
project.
W
During
this
request
attendant
designation
extension,
the
developers
will
pursue
approvals
after
the
zoning
board
of
appeals
and
boston
landmarks
commission
and
will
apply
for
additional
funding
with
massworks
mass
housing
and
the
community
preservation
act
with.
That
being
said,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.

we're
pleased
to
share
with

this
request
for
consideration
of
the

for
jackson
square

place
since
may
of
2005
and
reflects
a
memorandum
of
agreement
between
the
development
parties
and
the
state
agencies
which
have
land
ownership
interests
as
part
of
the
overall
jacksonville
development
grid.
X
Large,
the
projects
that
have
been
completed
or
will
be
in
construction
in
2022,
represent
a
total
of
approximately
333
total
new
homes,
including
approximately
211
income,
restricted
units
and
approximately
122
market

which
have
been

in
recent
years,
including
225,
center
street
jackson,
commons
and
75
emory
street.
X
The
jackson
square
development
was
also
a
successful
recipient
of
massworks
grant
from
the
commonwealth's
executive
office
of
housing
and
community
development.
This
grant
has
funded
important
public
realm
and
infrastructure
enhancements,
supporting
the
affordable
housing
creation
and
including
new
pedestrian,
streetscape
and
relocation
utilities.
X
Projects
within
the
jackson
square
development,
which
have
reached
significant
milestones,
include
both
completion
as
well
as
occupations
such
as
25
amory
street,
with
a
total
of
approximately
44
all
income
restricted
units
at
60
ami,
as
well
as
the
beginning
of
construction
for
250
center
street,
which
will
result
in
the
creation
of
approximately
110
mixed
income
housing
units,
as
well
as
approximately
2
400
square
feet
of
commercial
space.
Again,
the
majority
of
those
units
of
housing
will
be
income
restricted.

Final
designation
requirements
include
again
the
completion
of
the
construction
of
250
center
street,
as
well
as
work
to
be
undertaken
for
the
50-50
columbus

Oh
working
now
how
about
now
yeah
sorry,
let
me
start
that
over
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
paul
james
director
general
jemison,
I
am
chris
preen
urban
renewal
manager
still
muted.
Y
Although
residential
uses
are
allowed
on
the
site
via
the
urban
renewal
plan,
a
modification
was
necessary
primarily
to
allow
for
increased
building
height,
particularly
55
and
a
half
feet
in
this
case,
to
match
the
roof
lines
of
the
budding
row,
houses,
which
was
a
request
of
the
drowston
preservation
society
and
other
members
of
the
community
density
and
other
building
requirement.
Changes
were
needed
to
match
the
project.
Zoning
the
amended
lda
will
restrict
the
property
to
single-family
use.
Y
There
has
been
a
slight
delay
in
construction
of
the
project
due
to
the
increased
building
costs
due
to
pandemic,
but
they
have
prepared
to
move
on
so
they
are
seeking
a
vote
as
they
also
seek
an
extension
of
their
zba
compliance
variances.
So.
A
No
worries
no
worries,
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
Z
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
members
of
the
board.
The
proposal
before
you
is
an
article
80
small
project
at
1525
blue
hill
lab
in
matapan.
The
proposed
project
consists
of
new,
a
new
five-story
mixed-use
building
the
commercial
space
will
house
the
existing
family-run
mental
health
service
provider
on
the
ground
floor
level,
while
providing
16
residential
condo
units,
9,
surface
parking
spaces
and
bike
storage.
The
project
will
deliver
19
of
the
proposed
residential
units
at
80
to
100
ami.
Furthermore,
the
bpda
held
two
public
meetings
for
this
project
in
april
and
may
of
2022.
Z
Now
I
will
turn
it
over
to
kathleen
onifer
from
epa
planning
to
discuss
the
planning
context
before
cheryl
to
guys
and
dimitri
paton
from
the
development
team
begin
the
presentation.
Lastly,
I
want
to
thank
you,
the
members
of
the
public
elected
officials
and
city
agencies
who
helped
review
the
proposed
1525
bluehole
lab
project.
Thank
you.
AA
Good
evening
to
rojas
secretary
polemis
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
kathleen
ofer
and
I'm
the
assistant
deputy
director
for
downtown
neighborhood
planning,
I'm
here
tonight,
presenting
on
this
project
and
also
many
others,
because
the
mattapan
neighborhood
planner
is
at
a
community
planning
meeting
right
now
in
matapan,
and
our
dorchester
planner
is
out
on
dartmouth
street
at
the
copley
connect
effort.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
active
planning
and
community
engagement
going
on
this
evening.
AA
The
proposed
project
here,
1525
blue
hill
avenue,
is
located
within
the
boundaries
of
the
ongoing
planned
mattapan
process
led
by
our
planning
division
here,
in
collaboration
with
the
community
and
other
city
and
state
agencies.
AA
AA
The
draft
recommendations
also
require
that
projects
along
the
blue
hill
avenue
corridor
maintain
an
active
ground
floor,
use,
improved
green
space
and
streetscape
to
enliven
the
public
realm
and
increase
the
supply
and
diversity
of
affordable
and
accessible
housing
options.
Finally,
projects
should
support
a
mix
of
transportation
modes
and
better
connect
to
the
neighborhood.
AA
The
proposed
project
is
consistent
with
these
draft
recommendations.
In
addition,
the
project
team
worked
extensively
with
planning
staff
to
preserve
a
mature
tree
on
the
site
and
respond
to
the
surrounding
low-density
residential
contacts
through
step-backs
I'll
now
turn
over
to
the
proponent
team.
AB
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
sheryl
tagayas
and
I
am
a
principal
with
spalding,
two
guys,
architects
based
in
boston.
I
am
here
on
behalf
of
the
owner
of
the
property
property.
Mr
dimitri,
that's
young
and
mr
pitcher
will
be
available
for
questions
when
I
conclude
the
presentation
for
us.
AB
Our
proposed
project,
as
has
been
mentioned,
is
16
residential
units
on
four
floors.
Above
the
first
floor,
commercial
space
there
will
be
three
of
those
units
will
be
affordable,
idp
units.
Those
will
consist
of
two
two
bedroom
and
one
one
bedroom.
I'm
sorry,
one
one
bedroom
one:
two
bedroom
and
two
two-bedroom
affordable
units.
Sorry
about
that,
the
total
mix
of
units
will
be
a
four
three
bedroom.
Four
two
bedroom
and
eight
one-bedroom
units,
the
total
square
footage
is
just
under
22
000
square
feet.
AB
AB
This
shows
the
greater
context
as
well.
This
time
the
site
is
located
within
a
pink
circle
in
the
middle
of
the
slide.
There's
two
bus
lines
on
blue
hill
avenue
that
serves
this
location
number
28
number
20i
that
lead
to
mattapan
square,
which
has
access
to
the
trolley
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
there's
immediate
access
to
the
commuter
rail.
The
site
has
a
very
high
transit
score
and
a
high
walk
score
bike
score
as
well.
It's
in
close
proximity
to
parks
and
playgrounds
and
the
open
space
along
the
ponds
at
river
trail
next
slide.
Please.
AB
AB
The
the
photo
on
the
left
is
from
the
rear
chester
park
above
the
property.
It's
a
small
roadway
that
will
not
be
used
for
the
access
to
this
parcel,
but
we
wanted
to
give
you
an
idea
of
what
that
rear
of
the
property
looked
like
regis
road,
which
would
be
the
vehicle
access
to
the
property
is
the
photo
on
the
right,
and
you
can
see
the
site
noted
on
the
left
side
of
that
photograph.
AB
It's
already
been
mentioned.
Some
of
the
planning
context
that
bpda
has
undergone.
We
also
reviewed
the
planning
that
the
btd
is
doing
for
improvements
to
glucolab,
as
well
as
planning
that
dnd
has
been
doing
on
blue
hill
lab
as
far
as
transportation.
We
understand
that
there
may
be
some
changes
directly
in
front
of
this
parcel.
That
would
be
the
elimination
of
curbside
parking
and
the
addition
of
a
bike
lane.
Our
vehicle
access,
as
I
mentioned,
would
come
from
regis
road,
so
that
would
not
interfere
with
any
proposed
changes
or
that
are
being
considered.
AB
Currently,
that
plan
also
notes
a
desire
for
more
trees
and
greenery,
and
it's
been
said
that
we
are
preserving
a
tree
as
part
of
this
development
that
would
facilitate
that
as
far
as
dnd.
AB
AB
This
is
the
ground
floor,
slash
light
site
plant.
You
can
see
the
existing
tree,
the
large
green
circle
that
is
being
preserved,
that
will
serve
as
a
forecourt
to
the
residential
entry
to
the
building,
which
is
next
to
it.
On
the
left,
the
commercial
space
which
will
house
the
mental
health
services
provider
that
mr
paton's
family
provides.
It
will
be
there
in
the
blue,
as
well
as
on
the
floor
below
partial
basement
space.
AB
We've
increased
the
sidewalk
on
both
blue
hill
avenue
and
on
regis
road
three
feet
for
blue
hill
app
and
two
feet:
four
regis
you
can
see
the
we
will
be
closing
one
of
two
curb
cuts
and
there
will
be
one
curb
cut
now
on
regis
road
to
provide
access
to
the
nine
parking
spaces
next
slide.
Please
provides
an
aerial
view
showing
the
proposed
building
in
context.
AB
I
mentioned
the
44
site
development,
that's
in
the
upper
left,
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
scale
of
the
surrounding
properties
as
they
exist
today.
Next,
this
is
a
elevation
of
blue
hill
avenue
so
showing
the
building
in
scale
in
relationship
to
the
properties
adjacent
to
it.
Next
slide,
please
and
a
rendered
view
showing
the
building
in
its
context.
AB
And
lastly,
a
recaps
line,
I
believe
so
the
16
units
three
idp
in
addition
to
these
six
clinicians
and
one
director
that
will
continue
to
be
employed
here.
I
wanted
to
note
that
this
provide
that
they
provide
11
000
patient
visits
per
year,
which
is
a
large
community
benefit
of
that
family
has
provided
for
many
decades
now.
In
addition,
30
construction
jobs
will
be
provided
through
the
construction
of
the
project
and,
lastly,
I
want
to
mention
you
can
see
the
transit
I
mentioned
already,
but
the
on
the
sustainability
front.
AB
A
All
right
looks
like
a
great
project
and
really
excited
to
you
know
to
see
and
hear
that
we
are
preserving
the
healthcare
services
resource
on
on
the
ground
floor.
That's
that's
critical
to
to
our
community.

proposal
before
you
today
is
a
an
article,
80
small
project
review
located
at
17
aven
high
park.
The
proposed
project
is
a
four-story
27-unit
building
consisting
of
18
one-bedroom
units
and
nine
two-bedroom
units.
The
proponent
is
committed
to
a
19
idp
contribution,
resulting
in
five
idp
units.
The
project
is
providing
27
stacked,
vehicular
parking
spaces,
34
bike
parking
spaces.
The
bpda
held
two
public
meetings
that
were
well
attended.

Thank
you
caitlin
good
evening,
church,
rojas,
secretary
polemis
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
sanjay
guzman
and
I
am
a
neighborhood
planner
covering
hyde
park.
The
proposed
project
is
located
adjacent
to
the
hyde
park,
commuter
rail
station
and
the
clery
and
logan
square
neighborhood
shopping
sub
district,
something
for
the
area
was
adopted
in
2011
following
the
hyde
park,
planning
and
rezoning
process
initiated
in
2008..
AG
Hi
good
evening,
peter
vanco,
architect
on
the
project
of
vanco
studio,
architects.
We
thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening.
We
are
pleased
to
present
an
exciting
info
project,
an
an
activation
project.
That's
going
to
help
further
this
neighborhood
and
bring
it
into
delivering
much-needed
housing
and
we
believe
in
a
very
sensitive
way
and
a
positive
move
for
the
city.
AG
AG
AG
Certainly,
this
was
a
neighborhood
of
a
different
scale
in
past
ages,
but
it
is
changing
the
building
to
our
left
again
11
dana.
That
is
really
where
the
neighborhood
and
the
site
in
this
area
is
going,
but
the
site
that
we
are
currently
working
on
is
a
remnant
structure.
AG
So
there
is,
there
is
demolition
happening
on
that
site,
but
more
or
less
you
will
see
that
the
building
that
we
are
proposing
is
going
to
be
in
similar
scale
and
size,
one
to
our
left
next
slide.
As
mentioned
27
units
12.
Those
are
one
beds.
Six
are
one
bed
plus
den
and
nine
are
two
bedroom
units,
total
of
27
parking
spaces,
34
bike
parking
spaces
and,
as
stated
here
on
this
top
of
this
slide,
we're
almost
36
000
square
feet.
AG
Dana
avenue
on
all
of
these
subsequent
plans
will
be
on
the
far
right
of
the
slide.
This
is
a
composite
of
our
first
floor,
the
plantings
that
are
on
the
at
the
site
plan
and
also
our
roof.
Essentially,
our
footprint
there
is
the
darkest
portion
of
the
slide
we
have,
as
mentioned,
spent
a
lot
of
time
with
bpda
staff
and
planners
to
provide
more
generous
sidewalk.
AG
The
front
yard
setback
we
have
here
accepts
actually
the
public
crossing
over
onto
our
property
line,
a
wider,
more
generous
parking,
rather
bike
parking
area
even
out
in
front
of
our
building,
we're
trying
to
set
the
stage
for
large
amounts
of
pedestrians
crossing
by
this
building,
and
in
this
case
they
would
be
moving
plan
north
to
get
to
the
park
or
to
the
trans
station.
AH
AG
A
lot
of
plantings
that
are
present,
we
think
we've
done
a
good
job
of
greening
the
site
despite
the
side
of
the
building
and
that
large
building
that
was
in
the
aerial
views
prior
11
data
that
I
was
talking
about
that
is
planned
south
in
these
diagrams.
You
can
see
it's
of
a
similar
scale
and
size
filling
that
line
as
well,
of
which
we
would
be
essentially
aligning
to
that
next
slide.
Please.
AG
We
did
a
complete
street
study
with
our
landscape
architect.
I
won't
belabor
this
too
much,
but
that
certainly
contributed
to
our
walkability
score
next
slide.
Please
here's
our
ability!
This
is
what
we
are
proposing.
AG
AG
That
four
stories,
it's
really
three
stories
of
living
space
above
grade,
we
have
a
pedestrian
entry,
our
primary
entries
announced
by
the
canopies,
those
are
really
just
receiving
lobbies
from
that
point,
you'll
see
as
the
plans
get
a
little
clearer
that
we
have
stacked
parking
within,
so
it
really
is
not
occupied
space.
On
that
first
floor,
it's
really
just
at
the
lobby
level,
but
three
identical
levels
of
living
space
above
we
worked
closely
with
bpa
staff
in
design
review.
AG
To
achieve
this,
what
we
believe
is
is
a
sensible
but
still
exciting,
move
for
this
for
this
street
next
slide.
Please.
AG
AG
Our
sister
building
is
to
the
left.
In
this
view,
you
can
see
there's
a
little
bit
of
dialogue
with
some
balconies
that
happened
between
those
two
buildings,
whereas
on
the
opposite
side
there
was
also
balconies,
but
they
were
instead
with
an
attempt
to
be
respectful
to
the
neighbor.
On
that
right
hand,
side
let
next
slide
please
again.
27
units
19
of
those
are
idp
units
right
next
to
the
commuter
rail
station.
300
foot
walk
to
there
and
we
have
a
77
watt
score
with
that
excited
for
any
questions.
A
A
22
request
authorization
to
issue
a
certification
of
approval
in
accordance
with
article
ade,
small
project,
review
of
the
zoning
code
for
the
construction
of
31
residential
units,
including
six
idp
units,
23
off
street
parking
spaces
and
31
bicycle
parking
spaces
located
at
59
through

avenue,
and
to
take
all
related
actions.
Caitlin
and
kathleen.
AE
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
again
caitlin
carpenter,
project
manager
and
development
review.
We
have
59
belgrade
in
roslindale.
This
project
proposes
to
raise
the
existing
funeral
home
in
order
to
construct
their
four-story.
31-Unit
residential
project
includes
15
one-bedroom
units
and
16
2-bedroom
units
with
the
inclusion
of
six
idp
units
resulting
in
a
19
contribution
and
again,
the
project
will
include
23
parking
spaces.
Third
and
31
bicycle
parking
spaces.
AE
The
proponent
has
also
agreed
to
implement
some
transportation
measures
on
pinehurst
and
belgrade
app
to
improve
the
pedestrian
safety
along
this
street,
including
curb
extensions
and
the
addition
of
two
crosswalks.
Overall.
We
believe
this
project
and
its
mitigation
package
will
further
add
to
the
development
of
rossignol
square
in
a
beneficial
way.
I'm
happy
to
turn
it
over
to
kathleen
onifer
and
the
planning
team
to
discuss
the
planning
context
and
then
to
jason
art
from
the
development
team
to
give
their
presentation.
AA
AA
The
proposed
project
meets
the
spirit
of
these
planning
principles
and
vision.
It
is
in
a
dense
residential
development,
near
transit
corridors
with
a
mix
of
unit
sizes
and
pipes
that
supports
the
roslindale
square
main
streets
district.
While
the
planning
team
has
used
the
roslindale
village
strategic
plan
as
a
reference
in
this
review,
they've
also
utilized
other
more
recent
plans,
such
as
imagine,
boston,
2030
and
go
boston
2030
in
the
surrounding
neighborhood
context
to
evaluate
the
project
I'll
now
turn
it
over
to
the
proponent
team.

Hi,
I'm
chairman
of
members
of
the
board.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
My
name
is
jason
arn,
I'm
the
architect
with
several
architects.
I
will
make
this
brief
and
talk
about
some
of
the
the
design
ideas
implemented
in
this
project.
AI
This
is
a
rendering
of
the
project
looking
from
belgrade
avenue
at
the
main
entrance
and
I'll
go
over
this
a
little
bit
more
later.
Next
slide,
please,
the
current
location
is
occupied
by
a
funeral
home
that
will
be
raised
and
will
be
occupied
by
the
new
building.
Next
slide,
please
the
overall.
This
is
an
overall
aerial
context
with
5963
belgrade
located
in
the
bottom
of
the
aerial
there.
AI
We
have
belgrade
avenue
on
the
right
side
and
a
the
commuter
rail
on
the
left
side
with
roslindale
village
commuter
rail
station,
just
a
stone
throws
ray
just
above,
and
you
can
see
adams
park
in
roslindale
square,
very
close
within
walking
context.
We
took
that
into
consideration
whenever
we
were
designing
the
building,
in
addition
to
some
of
the
amenities
that
we
provided
for
the
residents,
in
addition
to
communication
with
the
neighborhood
committees
and
local
residents,
next
slide,
please.
AI
This
is
a
overlay
of
the
existing
building
and
library
with
a
new
building
in
the
dark
black
we
are
in
this
particular
instance.
We
are
removing
a
number
of
violations
that
the
current
building
has.
As
far
as
zoning
setbacks,
we'll
providing
a
10
front
green
buffer
zone
on
belgrade
avenue,
there's
currently
two
curb
cuts,
we'll
only
be
utilizing
one
of
the
curve
cuts
giving
parking
back
to
the
street.
AI
AI
This
is
the
ground
floor
plan,
the
about
great
afternoon
located
on
the
lower
part
of
the
plan.
We
will
be
implementing
31
parking
spaces
with
direct
access
to
to
the
entrance.
This
is
high
priority
for
a
number
of
neighbors
in
a
commuter-based
neighborhood
like
roslindale
roseville
square.
AI
AI
AI
You
can
see
that
we,
the
depth
of
this
building,
allows
us
not
the
access,
aloe
vera
access
to
access
not
to
be
seen
and
maintains
a
cleaner
look
next
slide.
Please.
AI
Design
implements
the
way
the
things
that
we
took
consideration
were
cues
from
roslindale
square,
the
articulation
of
brick
that's
found
commonly
there.
Additionally,
we
took
massing
in
our
additional
articulation
moves
to
to
emulate
some
of
the
triple
deckers
that
are
evident
on
the
street
as
they
march
down.
The
way
material
would
be
brick
and
standing
seam
at
the
front
of
the
building
and
then
a
density
fiber,
medium
density,
fiber
paneling
on
the
additional
sides.
AI
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
B
Did
you
elaborate
just
a
little
bit
on
the
community
response
to
your
development.
AI
Sure
roslindale
square
has
been.
Obviously
there
is
a
commuter
rail
there,
and
a
large
number
of
people
in
the
area
have
identified
appropriately
that
this
is
a
great
node
position
for
for
commuters
coming
into
or
existing
in
this
area
without
cars
and
allowing
people
to
walk
in
and
be
active
in
a
pedestrian
way.
So
we
took
a
great
effort
to
provide
very
easy
access
to
a
ground
floor
parking
space.
That's
basically
at
the
entrance
of
the
of
the
of
the
of
the
building.
AI
A
A
D
A
A
Okay,
so
it
is,
let's
see
5
26.,
so
we
before
we
start
our
public
hearings,
we're
going
to
take
a
brief,
a
brief
five
minute
recess,
and
so
yes,
so
we'll
see
you
back
here
at
5,

Over
time,
the
formal
article
80
review
process
began
in
september
2019
with
a
pnf
and
an
imp
nf
filing
over
the
two
plus
years
that
have
passed.

Key
among
them
is
the
construction
of
a
two-bay
ambulance
facility
with
lockers
and
additional
amenities
space
which
will
be
provided
for
use
to
boston
ems
for
the
long
term.
At
the
neighborhoods
request.
The
proponent
has
also
agreed
to
make
a
provision
of
50
parking
spaces
in
an
area
known
as
the
elk
slot
for
use
by
local
residents
during
snow
emergencies.

They've
also
provided
financial
contributions
to
two
beloved

well-respected
neighborhood
organizations,
the
veronica

center,
the
broncos

senior
center
apologies
and
the
austin
brighton
health
collaborative
the
proposed
project
is
also
located
within
an
active
planning
area.
One
of
the
austin
brighton
mobility
plan,
and
so
several
of
the
proposed
mitigation
measures
help
to
advance
keep
planning
recommendations
from
this
study.
AM
These
include
advancing
the
design
for
a
bus,
rapid
transit
corridor
on
washington
street,
the
construction
of
street
scale
improvements
up
to
an
estimated
value
of

000,
the
participation
in
the
allston
brighton
tma,
which
is
the
transit
management
association
and
several
other
initiatives
together.
These
commitments
will
go
a
long
way
in
improving
pedestrian
safety
on
washington
street
in
the
short
term,
and
in
the
long
term
they
will
help
the
city
advance
planning
the

Could
someone
thank
you
very
much
good
evening

thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
the
board
to
the

to
the
secretary.
AO
We've
been
fortunate
to
provide
this
high
level
of
care
close
to
home
for
residents
of
the
austin
brighton
neighborhood
in
the
community
setting
for
over
100
years
and
in
fact,
about
20
percent
of
our
patients
are
from
the
austin
brighton
community
in
an
area
that
is
considered
a
primary
care
desert.
We
are
proud
to
offer
five
primary
care
offices
in
the
austin
wright
neighborhood
to
meet
our
community's
needs
as
an
academic
medical
center.

appreciate
everything
the
neighborhood
has
to
offer
and
have
hired
12
percent
of
our
entire
workforce
from
the
austin
brighton
community,
and
we
always
welcome
more
to
join
us.
We
want
to
talk
about
our
institutional
master
plan
and
our
goals
with
you.
It's
to
improve
access
for
patients,
visitors
and
staff
create
a
semi
campus.
That's
opening
to
the
neighborhood,
where
the
community
feels
welcome,
improve
open
spaces
throughout
the
campus
and
expand
critical
patient
care
programs
next

Please.

We
have
partnered
with
the
boston
university
school
of
medicine,
offering
academic
opportunities
to
their
students
and
engaging
resources
to
expand
our
scope
of
clinical
care
and
train
the
next
generation
of
physician
leaders
across
the
commonwealth
and
beyond.
We
also
took
great
care
to
design
this
proposed
building
to
fit
into
the
character
of
the
existing
neighborhood.
Without
detracting
from
the
surrounding
atmosphere,
we
have
designed
enhanced
bike
access
around
the
sanees
campus
and
built
upon
the
austin
brighton
mobility
study
to
ensure
these
plans
fit
into
the
future
of
the
neighborhood.
AO
We
have
partnered
with
the
austin
brighton
tma,
with
active
participation
in
the
group
and
our
hosting
met
in
our
hosting
member

Tune-Up
events
in
partnership
with
them
this
year
we're
proud
of
the
work
we've
completed
with
the
cambridge
street
mural,
adding
a
splash
of
color
along
the
cambridge
street
corridor
and
in
collaboration
with
brighton
main
streets,
we're
working
with
brighton
high
to
participate
in
their
health
career
pathways
program
for
students
and
we're
offering
internship
programs
for
those
interested
in
pursuing
a
health
health
care
career.

A
highlight
of
this
project,
which
we're
very
excited
about,
is
a
2300
square
foot
ems
facility
that
we
will
be
adding
adjacent
to
the
parking
garage
with
two
ambulance,
bays
office,
space,
a
lounge,
locker
room
and
changing
areas
and
a
full
kitchen.
Throughout
this
process
we
have
worked
with
ems
boston
to
understand
the
community,
and
the
ems
service
need
to
make
sure
patients
get
easy
access
to
ems
to
the
ems
community.
We're
continuing
to
collaborate
to
realize
this
vision.

There's
also
the
quinn
pavilion,
which
is
a
building
situated
between
two
really
important
pieces
of
their
campus
and
really
at
this
point,
it's
an
opportunity
where
we
can
invest
in
other
ways
where
not
everything
needs
to
be
a
building.
Lots
of
it
can
be
beautiful
landscape,
space
and
outdoor
engagement
with
the
patients
and
the
visitors
and
then
there's
the
center
for
biomedical
research.
The
little
square
building
in
the
bottom
left
of
your
screen
there,
it's
a
really
important
building.
AP
It
holds
the
blood
bank
and
the
critical
laboratories
for
this
facility,
as
well
as
for
steward,
regionally
and
through
the
scient
there'll,
be
strong
investment
in
bringing
that
building,
which
was
built
in
the
70s
up
to
current
times,
creating
accessible
features,
investing
in
the
hvac
and
other
mechanical
systems
in
the
building.
AP
The
other
thing
that
you're
really
going
to
see
through
this
inp
is
a
strong
investment
in
the
connectivity
of
spaces,
and
so
where
there
was
an
old
parking
garage
on
nevin
street,
a
new
improved
entryway
into
the
hospital,
significant
investment
in
landscape,
adding
new
shade
trees
throughout
the
community
and,
most
importantly,
really
creating
this
opportunity
to
create
on-site
parking
for
the
hospital
that
is
sorely
needed.
AP
Many
of
the
critical
care
staff,
as
well
as
other
hospital
workers
here,
are
parking
in
off-site
lots,
they're
parking
in
places
as
far
out
as
portions
of
watertown
and
throughout
the
brighton
and
austin
communities,
and
that
makes
for
unnecessary
shuttle
trips
through
the
neighborhood.
It
makes
it
so
that
it's
a
very
unstable
situation
with
short-term
leases
with
third
parties,
and
so
by
making
this
very
significant
investment
in
a
sustainable
new
design
for
a
garage
here.
AP
We're
able
to
connect
the
campus
where
washington
street
is
lower
to
the
upper
campus,
create
those
opportunities
for
people
to
come
right
onto
the
campus
and
get
the
care
that
they
need
and
get
to
work
in
a
reliable
manner.
Next
slide,
please
pedestrian
connectivity.
That
can
be
part
of
this.
Inp
was
another
thing
that
really
drew
steward
to
making
these
types
of
investments.
AP
As
many
people
know,
there
are
great
neighborhood
side
streets
here
that
come
to
the
hospital
and
they
reach
a
point
in
the
hill,
where
there's
no
way
to
cross
through
the
campus,
and
so
the
way
this
parking
structure
is
proposed
to
be
designed
actually
creates
access,
both
at
the
lower
level
at
washington
at
the
upper
level
of
the
campus.
It
helps
people
be
able
to
navigate
this
space,
there's
an
investment
in
the
washington
street
quarter.
AP
That
makes
it
a
place
you'd
actually
like
to
come
to,
and
it
looks
to
really
invest
in
accessible
and
beautiful
spaces
along
washington,
street
and
cambridge
street.
As
was
mentioned
on
the
cambridge
street
mural,
there
was
an
opportunity
there
to
work
with
the
main
streets
and
really
invest
in
something
that
was
beautiful
for
the
community
and
also
an
honor
for
the
critical
care
staff
from
saint
elizabeth
who's
working
in
this
community.
AP
The
other
way
that
this
campus
is
getting
refreshed
through
the
imp
is
an
investment
in
bicycle
parking.
Both
the
bpda
and
btd
staffs
have
been
great
working
with
us
to
look
at
opportunities
in
existing
buildings
outside
in
the
main,
open
spaces
of
the
campus,
at
all
main
entry
points,
and
here
in
the
new
proposed
parking
garage,
also
an
investment
in
having
the
types
of
facilities
that
encourage
employees
to
be
bike
commuters
and
then
creating
opportunities
for
bike
share
stations
at
nevins
and
cambridge
and
cambridge
and
washington
streets
next
slide.
AP
Please
here
is
a
great
rendering
of
the
proposed
parking
garage
and,
as
you
can
see
from
this
slide
and
you'll
see
it
again
in
the
next
one.
Here,
washington
street
is
down
at
the
main
level
here.
This
proposed
structure
is
six
levels
you
can
enter
on
washington
street,
but
you
can
also
enter
vehicularly
from
the
upper
campus
onto
the
fourth
floor.
AP
It
features
a
brand
new
solar
array
to
the
state
elizabeth
campus,
which
can
provide
over
430
000
kilowatts
per
year
of
renewable
energy
for
the
facility.
The
other
great
features
that
we
have
here
is
the
design
of
the
garage
itself.
It's
a
park,
smart,
sustainable
design
features
a
very
significant
investment
in
electrical
vehicle
charging
infrastructure.
Both
now
and
for
the
expansion
of
that
over
time,
as
well
as
the
expansion
of
bicycle
parking
now
and
over
time
next
slide.
AP
Please
here's
another
angle,
you're
looking
from
shannon
street
across
to
the
garage
here-
and
this
is
the
vehicular
entry,
as
well
as
the
mobility
hub
and
pedestrian
connectivity
here.
So
we
are
working
with
bptd
with
mbta
and
really
trying
to
create
the
best
opportunity
here
to
consolidate
bicycle
parking
spaces,
to
look
for
opportunities
to
put
logical
crosswalks
across
from
shannon
street
driving.
AP
You
are
perfectly
aligned
between
washington
and
shannon
and
the
main
entry
here
and
then
looking
for
pedestrian
safety
features
and
washington
street
has
had
an
unfortunate
history
of
incidences
with
pedestrian
safety,
and
we
thought
it
would
be
incredibly
important
to
make
a
contribution
in
the
near
term,
with
btd
of
25
000
in
which
to
do
some
important
work
for
pedestrian
safety
starting
immediately
and
then
looking
to
longer
term
investments
here
through
our
coordination
with
btd
and
bpda
next
slide
as
part
of
proposing
a
proposed
garage.
AP
We
also
want
to
invest
in
the
other
ways
that
people
get
to
the
campus.
A
robust
transportation
demand
management
program.
Stewart
is
part
of
the
alston,
brighton
transportation
management
association,
working
on
the
opportunities
to
work
with
other
employers
to
connect
the
dots
between
mbta
and
commuter
rail
stations
and
the
hospital
significant
participation
here
in
bicycle
amenities
and
neighborhood
advocacy
for
more
bike
lanes
and
really
building
upon
the
austin
bride
mobility
study
subsidies
for
employee
transit
passes
and
having
an
on-site
transportation
coordinator
next
slide.
Please,
we've
also
invested
in
the
public
realm.
AP
A
brand
new
bocce
court
here
along
washington,
street
and
bocce
is
a
neighborhood
favorite.
We
really
appreciate
our
task
force
being
really
thoughtful
in
helping
us
design
that
and
creating
a
space
that
fields
inside
and
outside,
so
that
things
that
are
happening
in
the
garage
react
out
to
the
washington
street
quarter.
AP
All
this
space
here
out
on
the
hospital's
property
being
invested
in
to
draw
the
community
into
the
campus
next
slide
and
with
that
just
getting
wrapped
up
here,
a
robust
community
benefits
program
that
features
some
things
like
veggie
vouchers:
a
contribution
of
fifty
thousand
dollars
per
year,
looking
to
increase
food
security
throughout
the
neighborhood,
the
creation
of
jobs
and
revenue
through
the
hospital
operations.
AP
Thinking
about
that
mobility
hub
and
ways
that
we
can
make
washington
street
a
better
and
safer
place
for
people
to
be
and
making
sure
that
all
the
design
elements
that
we
bring
here
are
rooted
in
good
sustainability,
and
with
that
I
will
pass
it
back
here
to
the
chair
and
thank
you
for
having
us
this
evening.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
So
as
this
is
a
public
hearing,
we
will
now
take
public
testimony
first
before
questioning
by
the
board
member,
so
secretary,
paul
hemis.
Do
we
have
anyone
that
would
like
to
testify?
A
AQ
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
director,
director
jemison,
first
off
I'd
like
to
congratulate
the
director
on
his
new
appointment
and
welcome
back
to
boston.
I
certainly
look
forward
to
wrecking
you
in
the
future
also
very
supportive
of
this
project.
AQ
For
many
years,
steward
healthcare
has
been
very
good
through
members
of
pokemon
freight
and
I'd
like
to
thank
them
and
hope
for
their
continued
support.
Thank
you.
AR
Yes,
how's,
that
is,
that,
coming
through
yep,
okay
yeah,
just
just
you
know
real
quickly.
I
wanna
want
to
have
this
one.
First
of
all,
thank
you.
I
can't
believe
we're.
Actually
here
at
least
has
been
that
combination,
but
I
didn't
know
from
from
stewart
and
sanja's
point
of
view.
It's
been
a
long
time
coming,
but
this
is
something
that
you
know:
we've
actually
dreamed
of.
AR
For
a
long
time
going
back
to
myself,
I've
been
a
veteran
of
boston
ems
since
1978
and
I've
had
the
work
as
an
emt
in
brighton
I
was
assigned
here.
I
was
14
back
when
we
were.
We
were
stationed
up
at
st,
but
we
did
not
have
a
garage
at
the
time.
You
know
we
just
we
parked
a
lot
loading
dock
outside
by
the
er,
but
we're
getting
back
to
what
what
was
saying
is
when
you
first
began
to
present
being
part
of
the
community
being
part
of
it.
AR
Sorry,
when
crews
work
out
of
a
hospital,
they
become
bob
really
part
of
the
hospital
and
they
also
become
part
of
the
community
that
surrounds
here.
We
know
that
a
lot
of
people
who
work
in
hospitals
live
in
the
area
and
they
there
is.
There
is
a
real
sense
of
that.
AR
We're
of
building
the
team
for
that
and
that
that
that's
true,
even
after
all
these
years
I
mean
I
still
what
will
will
run
to
some
of
the
nurses
that
that
I
knew
back
at
seniors
back
in
the
day
or
the
places
where
I
satellited.
So
it
is
very
much
it
does
contribute
to
the
family
fabric.
But
beyond
that,
there's
you
know
just
the
obvious
benefits.
One.
It's
a
garage-
and
you
know
having
a
garage,
is
one
thing.
AR
Besides
being
a
requirement
by
you
know:
oems
we
have
a
place
where
we
can
garage
vehicles
when
they're,
not
you
know,
running
having
a
place.
That's
so
centrally
located
as
saying
the
saint
elizabeth's
campus
is
for
us
a
place
where
you
actually
can
shut
the
ambulance
off.
You
don't
have
to
leave
it
idling
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
AR
Still,
you
know
we
we
still
have
to
if
you
want
to
keep
the
heat
up
in
the
winter
or
the
ac
or
the
batteries
charged
force
either
ride
around
you
know,
burning,
fuel
or
or
idling,
and
then
trying
to
find
quiet
locations
where
you
can
do
it,
where
you're
not
going
to
disturb
neighbors.
You
know
when
you
have
a
garage
like
that
you
as
soon
as
you
off
complete
the
call,
but
you
can
bring
it
in
and
should
plug
it
into
a
show
line.
AR
That's
it
you,
the
the
you
know
the
environment
is
controlled,
it
does
save
on
fuel,
it
saves
on
noise,
wear
and
tear
on
the
vehicles,
but
it
also
it
contributes
to
the
cruise.
Well
being
because
the
crew
can
get
out
stretch
out.
We
can
resupply
our
trucks
from
there.
Yes,
we
don't.
We
still
have
the
main
supply,
but
they
can
deliver
a
lot
of
things
to
us
that
we
can
store
at
a
garage
such
as
with
which
you
propose
to
build
for
us.
AR
So
that's
gonna
increase
human
availability
because
we're
not
gonna
have
to
travel
as
far
as
often
out
of
the
area
to
try
to
get
supplies
and
go
meet
up
with
somebody
and
the
the
central
location.
When
you
know
when
we
mapped
this
out,
it
was
one
of
the
reasons
we
put
our
justification
in
for
this.
Was
it
our
it?
AR
Just
our
ability
to
get
to
like
all
points
in
brighton
and
austin
is,
is
greatly
improved.
We
couldn't
find
a
more
central
location,
then
then
the
saint
campus,
it
and-
and
just
you
know
I
you
know
I
couldn't
I
couldn't
go
on
and
on
but
but
again,
emergency
medicine
has
just
like
all
medicine
changes
right
over
the
years,
and
you
know
there
were
times
before
when
santa
monica.
AR
Well,
we,
when
you
had
saint
margaret's
and
there
for
the
we
would
have
occasions
where
some
patients
be
going
directly
to
delivery,
suites,
maybe
bypassing
emergency
or
in
the
emergency
department,
or
there
could
be
some
cases
of
going
directly
to
the
cath
lab,
because
the
emts,
the
paramedics
called
in,
did
their
own
notification
the
same
way
with
strokes
and
over
the
years
as
we're
going
to
be
developing
more
and
more.
AR
You
know
advanced
protocol
screening
to
be
able
to
partner
with
you
know:
hospitals
like
sanees,
where
we'll
be
able
to
you
know
before
we
maybe
even
leave
somebody's
living
room
already
have
the
pieces
in
motion
as
to
where
we're
gonna
go
and
activating
units,
and
by
having
that
relationship
between
your
local
ems
and
the
hospital
that
that
puts
us
up.
You
know
years
ahead
of
other
other
cities
and
towns.
So
there's
nothing
but
the
upside
to
this,
and
I
really
want
to
thank
everybody.
AS
AS
First,
I
want
to
thank
the
office,
the
office
of
mayor
wu,
for
allowing
the
community
to
be
part
of
the
process,
and
we
are
a
strong
supporter
of
this
project.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
stewards
healthcare
for
also
selecting
a
responsible
employer
for
to
build
the
new
facilities
in
norwood
and
this
one
here.
So
we
are
extremely
grateful
and.
H
AS
A
AM
Madam
chair,
I
have
two
very
short
letters
which
I
can
read
through
now.
The
first
one
is
from
state
representative
kevin
hohnen.
The
letter
goes
dear
members
of
the
bpda.
I
am
writing
to
support
the
samick
2022
through
2026
imp,
proposing
construction
of
a
new
203
square
foot
parking
garage
with
610
parking
spaces.
AM
The
addition
of
a
new
garage
allows
for
the
consolidation
of
multiple
off-campus
leased
satellite
lots,
the
elimination
of
the
deteriorating
existing
garage
and
overall
improved
access
for
employees
and
patients.
One
of
the
most
significant
aspects
of
the
project
will
include
a
two-way
ems
garage
for
boston
ems.
AM
This
ems
station
represents
a
meaningful
community
benefit
for
the
alston,
brighton
neighborhood,
primarily
through
improved
response
times
and
patient
outcomes.
It
will
also
offer
a
central
location
allowing
vast
and
ems
personnel
to
shower
and
change
when
personnel
decontamination
is
necessary,
store
and
restock
critical
supplies
and
decontaminate
equipment.
AM
Additionally,
the
new
modernized
garage
proposes
community
benefits
to
enhance
the
also
brighton
neighborhood
by
mitigating
construction
disturbances
included.
Among
many
other
features,
are
bike
and
pedestrian
mobility
connections,
landscaped
open
space
and
commitments
with
city
organizations
to
participate
in
programs
related
to
career
education.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
of
the
samick's
parking
garage
proposal.
Ensuring
employees
and
patients
will
have
access
to
a
modernized
parking
facility.
Please
do
not
hesitate
to
call
me
if
you
have
any
questions.
Sincerely
kevin
g,
hornam
state
representative.
AM
The
letter
goes
dear
board
members.
The
proponent
has
appeared
before
the
executive
board
on

2021,
with
a
proposal
for
an
imp
renewal
and
to
construct
new
parking
garage.
AM
The
proponent
has
been
very
responsive
to
community
concerns
over
height
intensity
parking
transportation,
public
safety
screening
and
buffering
community
mitigation
and
benefits
and
emergency
services.
The
austin
civic
association
voted
to
approve
the
proposal
before
you
sincerely
anthony
peter
sadoro
president,
and
that
concludes
the
written
testimony.
Madam
chair,
okay,.
A
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
chihuly
as
well
for
for
your
for
your
service
and
and
all
that
really
great
commentary.
Okay,
so
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
AD
D
A
AE
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
again
caitlin
cobbins
project
manager
and
development
review.
The
proposal
I
bring
before
you
guys
today
is
the
raising
of
an
existing
commercial
building
and
a
condemned
multi-family
building
in
order
to
construct
the
new
four-story
mixed
use.
Building
the
project
proposes
to
include
27
residential
units
consisting
of
a
mix
of
one
and
two
bedroom
units.
This
project
will
contribute
five
of
its
units
to
the
inclusionary
development
policy
at
seventy
percent.
Ami
for
a
nineteen
percent
total
contribution.
AE
Additionally,
the
ground
floor
plan
plans
to
include
approximately
nine
hundred
square
feet
of
retail
space.
On
the
ground
floor,
the
bpda
held
a
well-attended
public
meeting
in
late
march
and
overall,
we
believe
this
project
is
a
suitable
development
for
this
intersection
on
high
park
out.
I'm
happy
to
turn
it
over
to
kathleen
ownfar
from
the
planning
team
to
discuss
the
context
and
then
over
to
john
paul
genie
and
travis
blake
from
the
development
team.
AA
AA
The
plan
highlights
three
key
themes
and
the
proposed
project
meets
the
spirit
of
the
plan
and
these
themes
635
hyde
park
ave,
is
a
dense
residential
development,
near
transit
corridor
with
a
mix
of
unit
sizes
and
types
supporting
the
commercial
area
of
hyde
park
gap.
While
the
planning
team
is
referencing,
the
roslindale
village
strategic
plan
for
planning
context,
they
are
also
incorporating
further
planning
goals
and
visions
from
more
recent
plans,
such
as
imagine,
boston,
2030
and
go
boston
2030,
as
well
as
the
surrounding
neighborhood
context,
to
evaluate
the
project.
AD
Thank
you
and
thank
you
caitlyn.
This
is
john
palgini
on
behalf
of
the
our
applicant
good
afternoon,
director
jamison
secretary
polemis,
chia,
rojas
and
all
members
of
the
board.
As
caitlin
stated,
this
is
a
proposal.
It
will
replace
a
shuttered
restaurant
on
the
corner
of
hypocal,
together
with
a
condemned
two
family
to
the
rear
of
that's
on
canterbury
street
and,
as
they
say,
it'll
be
27
unit
apartment
building
with
14
garage
parking
spaces,
went
to
a
robust
community
process
and
will
provide
much
needed
housing
in
a
somewhat
blighted
site.
AD
AC
Great
take
sean
some
travis
blake,
I'm
an
associate
principal
at
students
of
design,
architects
and,
as
you
can
see
on
this
slide
right
here.
This
is
an
existing
aerial
view
looking
down
hyde
park,
so
you
can
see
that
we
have
a
prominent
location
right
on
the
corner
of
hyde
park,
canterbury
street.
You
notice
the
surrounding
context,
there's
a
lot
of
surface
area
parking
and
some
one-story
commercial
space
that
make
up
the
corners
of
this
intersection
alone
and
towards
the
rear
of
our
lot.
AC
AC
This
is
just
a
photo
of
the
existing
commercial
building.
On
the
lot
you
can
see
the
adjacent
residential
building
on
the
left-hand
side,
with
the
existing
driveway
to
surface
level
parking
on
the
left
on
the
right
side.
You
see
that's
canterbury
street
that
has
that
steep
incline
that
goes
up
and
over
the
mbta
commuter
rail
overpass.
AC
On
the
next
side,
please,
this
is
just
another
picture
of
the
existing
commercial
building
showing
how
it
addresses
the
corner
of
the
lot
on
the
right
side.
You
can
see
another
existing
one-story
commercial
space
that
comprises
the
adjacent
across
the
canterbury
street
that
corner
there
next
slide.
Please.
AC
This
is
a
proposed
site
plan.
In
this.
You
can
see
how
we
are
you
know,
proposing
some
improved
site
plan
strategies.
First,
we
pulled
the
building
back
from
the
property
line
on
the
north
and
east
side.
This
allows
us
to
give
additional
space
to
the
streetscape,
where
we
can
create
a
better
pedestrian
experience.
That's
more
in
line
with
the
boston
complete
streets
guidelines
there.
AC
So
we
provide
a
furnishing
zone,
a
three
foot,
carnaging
zone,
a
six
foot
pedestrian
zone
and
a
little
bit
of
a
frontage
zone
where
we
can
do
some
plantings
and
really
softening
edge
of
the
building
from
the
pedestrian
scale.
AC
AC
You'd
see
that
we
are
infilling
portions
of
the
existing
curb
to
create
a
12
foot
vehicular
access
to
the
left
of
that
we
are
creating
a
buffer
between
that
and
the
json
mod
is
6343
high
parkad
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
this
image
too,
we're
also
proposing
to
infill
an
existing
curb
cut
that
wasn't
launching
at
third
street.
So
next,
please.
AC
Yeah,
it's
a
little
tough
to
read,
but
this
is
sort
of
the
programming.
On
the
first
floor,
it
does
show
the
corner
entrance
down
the
bottom.
You
know
right
hand
side
of
our
our
lot
there.
AC
This
ties
together
that
pedestrian
access,
like
I
said
the
lobby,
would
then
be
directed
to
an
interior
bike
storage
for
about
34
bikes
and
a
bike
repair
space
which
we
use
to
sort
of
activate
that
facade
along
canterbury
street
by
incorporating
windows.
So
it's
very
visible.
AC
The
lobby
would
also
lead
to
the
elevator
for
the
upper
residential
units
comprising
27
total
units
18
one
beds,
nine
two
bed
units
and
then
this
lobby
would
also
connect
to
the
fully
enclosed
garage
for
a
total
of
14
parking
spaces,
and
this
is
just
a
better
view
of
that.
Whole
driveway
access
for
the
12
foot
drive
aisle
to
a
single
garage
door
where
we
kind
of
pushed
everything
up
towards
the
middle
of
the
building.
So
we
could
increase
the
open
space
towards
the
back
of
the
lot
next,
please.
AC
AC
The
change
in
materiality
from
us
10
inch,
simple
outsiding
on
the
first
level,
to
a
more
traditional
6
inch
heart
plane,
further
increases
the
reinforces
the
idea
of
the
human
scale
for
the
pedestrians
at
the
left
of
the
elevation.
You
see
how
we
tried
to
maximize
the
storefront
as
you
go
towards
hyde
park.
AC
That
would
be
like
the
bike
storage
repair
shop
there,
and
then
we
also
used
the
idea
of
this
large
bay
to
wrap
the
corner,
really
just
exciting
the
facades
together
and
address
the
the
prominent
intersection
with
all
the
commercial
spaces.
On
that
side.
AC
AC
Please-
and
this
is
just
another
view-
this
is
farther
down
hyde
park
out
this
kind
of
shows
the
side
elevation
over
the
driveway,
and
this
is
where
we're
incorporating
some
julia
balconies
and
some
recesses
within
the
bays
to
create
some
private
outdoor
spaces
for
each
of
the
units
there
and
then,
on
the
first
floor,
you
can
see
how
you
know
really
increase
the
storefront
along
that
edge
to
really
activate
that
along
high
park.
App
next.
A
Hey,
thank
you
very
much.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
D
D
A
request
authorization
to
issue
a
scoping
determination,

The
proposal
that
I'm
going
to
bring
before
you
today
is
the
raising
of
an
existing

building

and
ground
floor
amenities,
space
for
their
residents.
The
bpda
held
a
public
meeting
in
february
and
two
iag
meetings
both
in
february
and
march.
AE
These
meetings
were
well
attended
and
had
active
participation
from
the
iag
to
create
a
robust
mitigation
package
which
includes
10
idp
units
and
a
range
of
amis
and
monetary
contributions
to
the
allison
brighton
mobility,
study
of
the
also
brighton
tma
and
the
leo
birmingham.
Parkway
trust
this
project's
a
great
info
addition
to
the
two
other
recent
projects
on
either
side
of
this
building
that
have
been
recently
approved
with
one
under
construction.
AA
AA
This
framework
was
later
updated
with
transportation
and
urban
design
guidelines,
but
those
upstates
did
not
include
recommendations
specific
to
the
area
that
includes
40
soldiers,
young
place,
the
north
austin
strategic
framework
for
planning
identifies
the
area
where
40
soldiers
field
place
is
located
as
a
mixed
use
area
to
allow
uses
such
as
research
and
development,
institutional
and
residential,
among
others,
planning
staff
found.
The
proposed
project
is
consistent
with
the
framework
and
provides
new
housing
responsive
to
the
need
for
transitions
and
scale,
vehicular
circulation
and
design
between
this
location
and
its
surrounding
context.

So
here
you
can
see
this
is
a
context.
Neighborhood
context
map
the
red
rectangle
in
the
center
of
the
screen
is
where
the
site
is
located.
It's
bounded
by
soldiersfield
road
to
the
north
and
soldiers
field
place
to
the
south
and
then
just
north
of
silversfield
road.
You
have
the
charles
river
just
south
of
soldiersfield
place.
You
have
the
mass
turnpike
running
along
the
page
next
slide.
AU
As
far
as
the
program
and
consistent
with
what
joe
mentioned,
this
is
a
family-style
building.
There
was
a
strong
preference
for
family
style
living
in
this
neighborhood,
so
we're
pleased
to
come
come
today
with
this
particular
program
of
25,
one
bedroom
units
in
36
two-bedroom
units
resulting
in
60
percent
two-bedroom
units
on
the
site.
These
are
not
micro
units.
These
are
not
small
units.
These
are
amply
sized
well
designed
and
will
be
well
constructed
for
the
long
term.
AU
AU
This
is
a
collection
of
existing
conditions,
photographs
on
the
site,
the
top
left
image
shows
the
site
today,
with
a
large
swath
of
pervy
impervious,
paving
asphalt
there
with
a
small
one-story
commercial
red,
brick
building
that
would
be
raised
in
preparation
for
the
new
construction.
AU
This
is
an
image
showing
the
ground
level.
What
you
can
see
is
the
main
entry
at
the
far
right
of
the
image
on
soldiersfield
place
with
the
red
arrow.
If
you
come
in
there,
there's
the
elevator
lobby
just
north
on
the
pages
of
children's
and
families,
amenities
space.
That
was
something
that
came
out
of
our
really
robust
discussions
with
the
neighborhood
and
the
community
is
to
provide
amenities
that
would
really
be
catered
to
children
and
families.
AU
We
also
have
bike
storage,
that's
covered,
that's
within
the
ground
floor
of
the
building
in
that
purple
area
and
then
to
the
far
left.
We
have
private
entries
for
the
two
individual
two
bedroom
units
that
front
along
silversfield,
road
and
obviously
in
the
middle
of
the
building,
is
where
we
have
the
parking
garage
next
slide.
AU
AU
A
lot
of
these
units
have
privatized
outdoor
balcony
space,
which
we
know
is
a
critical
thing
for
urban
living
ways
in
finding
private
outdoor
space.
We
also
have
a
common
amenity
space
lower
left
on
the
plan
which
integrates
with
a
common
terrace
for
some
elevated
outdoor
space
and
views
over
the
trees
to
the
charred
river
next
slide.
AU
This
is
an
exterior
urban
urban
design,
image
that
shows
the
building
at
the
main
entry
along
soldiersfield
place.
We
did
not
place
the
main
entry
on
soldiersfield
road,
just
given
the
immense
amount
of
car
traffic,
the
speed
at
which
the
cars
moved.
So
we
wanted
to
bring
the
residential
entry
along
the
side
street,
which
is
soldiers,
field,
place,
much
more
pedestrian,
friendly
and
oriented
for
the
main
entry.
AU
So
we've
distinguished
it
with
a
particular
character
of
wood,
look
fiber
cement,
siding
to
give
it
a
sense
of
warmth
and
a
critical
identity
point
as
to
where
the
entry
into
the
building
is
up.
Above
we
have
a
two-tone
material
pallet
with
a
wider
or
a
lighter
metal
panel,
and
then
a
darker
metal
panel
to
the
right-hand
side
with
balconies
that
are
expressed
on
the
elevation
next
slide.
AU
AU
AU
This
concludes
our
presentation,
and
this
is
just
showing
an
image
again
of
of
day
and
night,
where
we're
really
thinking
about
that
experience
of
safety
and
that
experience
of
welcome
as
you
engage
in
this
new
project
in
the
neighborhood.

As
you
may
recall,
the
boston
landing
project
along
guest
street
in
brighton
was
originally
approved
by
this
board.
Back

submitted
a
notice
of
project
change
on
august
7th
2020,
which
contained
updated
use
and
dimensional
information
on
all
of
the
boston

The
bpda
reviewed
that
npc
at
a
public
hearing
on
october
15
2020
and
the
director
issued
a
determination
waiving
further
review
on
january
22nd

AV
on

2021
nb
development
group
filed
a

project
change
with
the
bpda.
The
npc

Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board.
This
hotel
project
is
located
within
the
bounds
of
the
brighton
guest
street
planning
study,
completed
and
adopted
by
the
board
in
2012..
AA
The
key
issues
of
that
planning
study
were
to
establish
a
mixed-use
transit-oriented
district
as
a
western
gateway
to
boston,
to
make
sure
that
any
future
development
created
urban
blocks
with
the
hierarchy
of
street
skates
and
to
achieve
the
long-term
funding
of
commuter
rail
service,
which
has
you
know,
thus
happened
through
subsequent
advocacy
study
by
the
state
and
funding
commitment
by
the
property
owner
and
is
now
an
important
part
of
the
planning
context
for
this
area.

You
keith,
madam

What
we
are
showing
here
is,
as
mentioned
previously,
is
the
hotel
located
in
the
purple
centered
in
the
overall
site
plan.
This
is
the
last
building
to
be
constructed
or
approved
in
the
boston
landing
master
plan
adjacent
to
us
to
our
east
is
the
austin
yards
development
shown
in
the
yellow,
which
shows
the
future
connectivity
to
guest
street
and
extension
of
guest
street
and
how
our
project
will
integrate
with
that
proposed
development
as
well.
AX
We'll
quickly
go
through
some
existing
photos,
which
you
can
see
here.
The
site
is
located
at
the
corner
of
guest
and
arthur
street.
The
existing
sidewalks
are
remaining
as
well
as
the
existing
parking
and
infrastructure.
AX
We
will
be
in
filling
the
site
which
is
adjacent
to

which
will
connect
to
the
new

to
the
new

Building
to
our
north,
the
site
is
indicated
here
in
the

area,
with
the
diagonal
pedestrian
path
running
through
it.

You
can
just
go
to
the
next
one
as
well
and
we
will
be
connecting
to
our
existing
bike
paths
and
pedestrian
walkways.
We
have
worked
with
the
adjacent
butter
as
well
as
the
city
to
make
sure
our
connections
of
bike
paths
and
pedestrian
paths
will
connect
across
off
the
street
to
guest
street
to
the
adjacent
development
with
ease

connectivity,
we're
also
adjacent
to
the

We
also

are
showing
our
restaurant,
which
will
wrap
around
guest
street
and
arthur

have
a
corner

entrance.
You'll
also
notice
that
we're
setting
our
building
back
on
the
ground

AZ
We're
excited
to
be
here
for
the
proposed
project
that
we're
showing
here
before
you.
The
project,
as
was
mentioned,
is
to
renovate
the
existing
two-story
structure.
This
does
fall
within
the
aberdeen
historic
district
and
we
worked
closely
with
the
community
and
the
commission
to
restore
to
have
a
restoration
of
that
front
building.
AZ
We
will
also
have
a
five-story
rare
edition
in
the
back,
and
this
total
will
house
39
units
with
17
parking
spaces.
As
was
mentioned,
this
is
a
great
commuter
location.
We
are
directly
across
from
chiswick
road
mbta
station
station,
which
houses
the
green
line
for
those
folks
in
the
building
that
would
be
commuting.
AZ
As
I
had
mentioned,
we
have
the
historic
renovation
in
front.
We
also
are
excited
that
this
project
will
have
an
18
affordability
for
inclusionary
development.
That's
seven
units
within
the
building,
with
varying
amis
from
70
to
100.
The
district,
as
was
mentioned,
is
a
3f,
although
we're
surrounded
by
multi-family
residential
district
as
well.
If
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
please,
as
you
can
see,
the
highlighted
blue
area
on
top
are
the
two
lots
that
combined
is
one
of
the
larger
lots
in
the
area
at
21
521
square
feet
along
the
chiswick
roadside.
AZ
You
can
see
multi-family
apartment
complexes,
both
in
the
rear,
as
well
as
directly
next
to
us
as
we
go
down
the
lower
screen,
this
would
be
a
cross
for
site
context
across
commonwealth
ave.
Just
so
you
can
see
the
varying
buildings
around
the
area
as
well
at
this
time.
If
we
could
turn
to
the
next
slide,
I'm
also
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
architect
dan
artejas,
to
go
over
the
project
in
his
plans.

Thank
you

good
evening,

My

I'm

we're
the
architect
for
the
project.
The
plan
in
front
of
you
is
the
landscape
plan
for
the
project.
In
addition
to
retaining
the
original
home
will
also
be
rebuilding
the
existing
rubble
stone
wall,
which
is
indicated
at
the
bottom
of
the
page
right
adjacent
to
the
parking
access
driveway.

We
looked
very
closely
at
both
the
landscape
design,
as
well
as
the
significant
grade
change
from
commonwealth
ave
to
the
the
middle
portion
of
the
site.
BA
We
are
dealing
with
almost
30
feet
of
gray
change,
so
there
are
a
number
of
ways
in
which
we
are
navigating
the
site
and
connecting
the
rear
addition
to
the
front
building
we're
maintaining
the
existing
side
yard
setback
at
the
top
of
the
page
to
retain
much
of
the
existing
tree
canopy
on
the
site,
as
well
as
coming
up
with
a
comprehensive
planting
strategy
for
the
site
adjacent
to
the
driveway
as
and
providing
a
dedicated
and
protected
pedestrian
access
way
to
the
new
building,
which
is
both
accessible
and
protected
from
vehicular
traffic.
BA
Currently,
there's
almost
20
steps
from
commonwealth
ave
to
the
existing
house
entry.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
just
a
parking
plan
showing
that
walkway
from
commonwealth
ave
back
to
the
parking
area
at
the
rear,
17
parking
spaces,
as
well
as
two
lobby
areas,
one
for
the
main
building
in
the
front
and
a
designate
and
its
requisite
elevator,
as
well
as
one
to
the
rear
for
the
addition.
BA
Next
slide,
please,
in
addition
to
the
17
vehicular
parking
spaces,
we
have
42
bike
parking
spaces
so
over
one
to
one
for
the
unit
count
as
well
as
meeting
all
the
city
of
boston's
guidelines
for
bike
parking
in
the
site,
providing
larger
size
spaces
as
well
as
high
density
spaces.
Next
slide,
please.
BA
This
is
the
first
floor
plan
showing
where
that
bike
room
is
located,
as
well
as
the
significant
ledge
and
great
change
in
the
center
of
the
site.
There
is
a
connector
piece
at
the
second
floor
which
connects
the
addition
to
the
front
building
and
just
also
in
the
front
building
providing
a
lobby
and
amenity
space
in
the
existing
home,
maintaining
a
lot
of
the
craftsman,
character
and
and
restoring
the
house
to
its
former
glory
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
just
a
section
showing
that
great
change
as
well
as
the
connector
piece.
BA
I
believe
that
is
the
end
of
the
presentation
happy
to
answer.
Oh
so,
just
in
summary,
39
residential
units,
85
construction,
jobs
and
52
bike
parking
spaces
42,
which
will
be
inside
the
building
and

will
be
located
on
the

The
bpda
held
two
public
meetings
for
this
project
in
august
of
2021
and
may
of
2022..
These
were
both
well
attended
advertised
in
the
local
newspaper
and
online.
I
want
to
thank
members
of
the
public
elected
officials
and
the
representatives
and
the
city
agency
staff
who
attended
these
meetings
and
helped
review
this
project.
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
karen
chavez
from
the
bpa
planning
division
to
discuss
the
planning
context
that
was
considered
in

will
continue
to
work
with

finalize
the
site
plan,
with
accurate
accounting
of
open

footage
and
the
mitigation
for
loss
of

canopy.
I
will
now
turn

Thank
you
karen
and
quinn
good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
and
mr
director,
director
jameson.
Congratulations
on
your
appointment
and
the
value
it
brings
to
our
city
on
behalf
of
the
development
team
led
by
our
principal
matt
o'hara.
My
name
is
mike
ross
attorney
with
the
law
office
of
prince
lobel,
I'm
here
today
with
our
architect
david
lee.
BC
We
wanted
to
point
out
to
the
board
that,
in
addition
to
the
transit-oriented
nature
of
this
building,
there
will
be
additional
monetary
contributions
made
toward
long-term
transportation
planning
along
this
busy
corridor.
Additionally,
working
with
bpda
staff,
the
project
team
exceeded
requirements
and
adopted
several
of
boston's
green
building
and
carbon
neutral
goals
to
meet
the
city's
proposed
zero
net
carbon
standards.
At
this
point,
I
would
like
to
turn
it
over
to
the
architect
david
lee,
to
present
the
plans
david.
Thank
you.
AL
I
too
would
like
to
join
others
in
congratulating
and
welcoming
back
to
town,
my
friend
and
colleague
arthur
jameson.
It's
good
to
have
you
back
this,
as
has
been
mentioned
before,
it's
been
kind
of
a
backwater
on
the
edge
of
mission
hill
for
a
number
of
years,
but
it's
really
evolving
as
a
lively
mixed
use
street,
with
a
lot
of
housing
coming
back
all
within
walking
distance
of
the
t,
but
also
very
close
to
the
southwest
quarter
bike
path
as
well.
AL
So
there
are
multiple
options
for
how
to
get
around
the
site
next
site.
Next
slide,
please,
as
you
can
see,
the
area
has
been
somewhat
neglected.
There
are
just
some
empty
parcels
here
and
there
and
on
the
back
side
of
the
site
or
the
east
side
is
a
right-of-way
next
to
the
southwest
corridor,
which
needs
to
be
maintained
for
the
mbta,
but
we've
been
able
to
use
part
of
it
for
our
open
space
for
our
site
as
well.
Next.
AL
This
is
the
the
lower
level
of
the
of
the
building
showing
that
we
have
15
parking
spaces.
We
have
sufficient
bike
storage.
We
can
accommodate
up
to
about
48
bikes
and
in
the
upper
left-hand
corner,
we're
carving
out
some
space
for
residents
to
come
down,
maybe
barbecue
and
have
a
little
privacy
down
next
to
the
mbta
and
transit
corridor.
AL
Next,
the
building
on
from
the
terrace
street
side
steps
to
allow
as
much
open
space
at
the
ground
level
to
match
the
city's
complete
streets
initiative,
the
principal
entrance
and
the
generous
lobby
next
to
it,
are
right
on
axis
with
allegheny
street,
which
looks
right
down
to
this
site
and
will
provide
places
for
people
to
engage
the
building,
but
also
to
get
more
eyes
on
the
street
day
and
night,
we're
also
having
balconies
there
and
on
the
roof,
we're
actually
going
to
have
a
large
community
room
with
exterior
space
for
the
tenants
which
will
have
wonderful
long
views
down
toward
downtown
okay.
AL
This
is
the
southwest
quarter,
side
of
it
and
we're
sort
of
emulating
some
of
the
kind
of
muscular
architecture
that
was
once
in
that
area
when
it
was
a
quarter
of
breweries
and
other
buildings
like
that,
and
there
still
remain
a
couple
of
really
robust
buildings,
and
so
we
wanted,
in
our
massive
materiality
to
kind
of
match
the
strength
of
the
facades
of
buildings
along
the
way.
AL
Next,
this
gives
a
sense
of
what
it
might
look
like
from
the
terrace
street
side,
and
you
can
see
just
to
the
right
there,
the
entrance
to
the
building
on
axis
with
allegheny
street
and
then
the
large
lobby
that's
going
to
look
out,
and
then
we
have
balconies
on
the
upper
levels,
and
you
can
see
on
the
very
top
level
there.
AL
You
can
see
the
canopy
element,
almost
a
trellis
element,
light
which
is
connected
to
the
community
room
and
we'll
make
that
upper
space,
a
shared
amenity
for
the
entire
building
next
and
then
this
last
shot
gives
you
a
sense
of
the
context
in
terms
of
the
southwest
corridor
on
the
right
there
and
how
this
building
would
be
viewed
from
the
distance
and
also
how
it
holds
its
own
with
a
fairly
large
building
just
to
the
north
of
it,
which
has
already
been
constructed.
AL
And
you
can
imagine
on
that
upper
level.
The
terrific
views
that
are
going
to
be
available
for
south
and
east
and
toward
downtown,
and
with
that
I'm
prepared
to
end.
A
Thank
you.
Okay,
do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
A
AL
BC
I'm
sure
mike
ross
here
attorney,
we
looked
at
it
for
the
client
so
that
that's
the
rare
easement
that
is
owned
by
by
by
us
by
the
by
the
proponent.
BC
However,
there
are
rights
on
that
easement
that
we
must
respect
that
the
mbta
enjoys
that
has
to
do
with
access,
they're,
very
general
rights,
and,
as
you
saw
on
the
plan
that
that
mr
lee
presented,
we
actually
didn't
build
on
the
at
all
on
any
anywhere
in
the
eastman,
even
though
maybe
perhaps
one
could
argue
you
could
we
took
the-
I
think,
the
conservative
approach
and
didn't
build
on
that.
BC
The
only
thing
that
might
be
in
the
way
of
the
easement
itself
would
be
the
overhanging
balconies,
but
even
those
are
over
20
feet
above
off
the
ground
and
certainly
wouldn't
be
not
allowed
by
any
easement.
Not
this
easement.
That's
really
that's
everything.
I
can
tell
you
about
the
easement
and
the
relationship
with
the
mbta.
A
Okay,
okay,
good
yeah.
I
was
just
just
curious:
okay,
any
other
questions
or
comments.
B
A
very
creative
solution
to
a
challenging
site
there
so.

In
the
nubian
square
area
of
roxbury,
the
nougat
team
has
proposed
to
create
a
new
mixed-use
residential
building
containing
104
units
of
affordable
housing.
Five
artists
live
work,
units,
five
commercial
spaces
for
artist,
uses
an
exhibition
space
and
cafe,
and
a
new
park
on
the
corner
of
washington
and
melnia
cass
of
the
104
units.
60
will
be
rental
units
and
44
will
be
ownership
units.
BD
Additionally,
the
project
will
be
designed
to
be
all
electric
with
electrically
sourced
heat
and
hot
water,
a
solar
pv
array
on
the
roof
and
will
reach
a

Throughout
the
process.
The
project
has
enjoyed
strong
community
support
and
enthusiasm
for
the
changes
that
it
will
bring
to
what
was
formerly
an
empty
lot.

a
vision
to
catalyze

development
through
the
activation
of
publicly

BE
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
member
of
boards.
This
is
cameron
zahidi,
I'm
principal
of
urbanica
design
and
development.
I'm
here
tonight
with
our
partner
becky
adnani
from
the
nhp
foundation
and
architect,
stephen
chung.
The
view
that
you
see
on
the
screen
right
now
is
it
from
the
mainly
from
the
melania,
hotel
and
residences
across
the
street,
which
we
developed
around
four
years
ago.
This
is
the
corner
of
washington,
street
and
milner
cass.
BE
BE
As
I
explained,
you
know,
the
buildings
actually
is
a
two
separate
buildings.
One
is
a
home
ownership
which
is
facing
the
park
and
one
is
a
rental
building
which
is
a
corner
of
harrison
avenue
and
milner
cast
and
is
next
to
the
new
campus
of
benjamin
franklin
institute
and
launching
on
melania
cass.
BE
The
building
goes
from
five
stories
to
six
stories
on
the
harrison
avenue
when
he
meets
the
park.
The
building
actually
steps
down
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
building
also
on
the
first
level,
is
a
scallop
shape
that
embodies
all
the
trees
existing
trees.
That
is
very
critical.
You
know
for
this
part
of
the
neighborhood
next,
please.
BE
This
is
a
view
from
washington
street.
Next
to
the
non
factory
we
are
making
or
building
8
800
square
feet
of
public
park,
which
is
gonna
be
facing.
The
exhibition
and
artists
and
learning
spaces,
and
the
buildings,
as
you
can
see,
is
about
five
stories
that
are
facing
the
park.
This
car
can
be
activated
from
the
local
artists
for
sculptures
and
music
and
different
activities.
We
hope
non-factory
is
gonna,
be
transformed
to
the
dance
studios
and
this
park
will
be
pretty
much.
It
gets
activated.
BE
You
know
with
all
these
new
energies
that
are
going
to
come
to
this
community
next,
please
again,
this
is
the
facing
from
the
washington
street
toward
melania
cast.
The
two
squares
you
see
here
is
resemblance
of
two
old
foundation
that
used
of
the
houses
used
to
be
here.
BE
Next,
please,
as
I
mentioned,
both
projects
is
100
percent
income,
restricted
units
anywhere
on
the
home
ownership
from
60
percent
ami
two
hundred
twenty
percent
ami
total
total
of
forty
seven
unit
and
goes
between
you
know,
live
and
work,
and
one
bedroom
and
two
bedroom
and
three
bedrooms.
On
the
rental
side,
you
can
see
we
have
anywhere
from
30
percent
up
to
120
percent
and
again
we
have
live
work
spaces.
We
have
one
bedroom,
two
bedroom
and
three
bedrooms,
so
it's
totally
off
the
114.
BE
You
know
units
of
work
live
and
residential
spaces,
which
is
going
to
pretty
much
activate
this
corner.
Our
office
of
urbanica
is
actually
across
the
street
from
this
site
and
we
would
love
to
see
more
activities
in
this
part
of
the
neighborhood
next,
please
again,
here
you
see
coming
down
from
washington
street
and
parallel
to
melania,
cast
all
the
on
the
right
side.
BE
Next,
please,
this
is
pretty
much
the
entrance
to
home
ownership
coming
off
from
mainly
castle.
The
whole
idea
again
try
to
reinforce
life
on
many
casts
right
now.
Melee
cast
is
pretty
much
a
vehicular
axis,
but
by
doing
you
know
more
projects
and
having
more
entrances
open
to
these
areas,
you
hope
we
have
more
pedestrian
activity
on
melee
cast
next,
please
you
see
again
from
above.
You
know
the
above.
BE
You
are
proposing
to
have
our
mechanical
system
on
the
roof,
plus
the
voltaic
panels,
and
the
building
you
know
makes
you
know
different
moves,
and
this
design
got
the
approval
at
the
first
hearing
with
the
bcdc,
which
they
said,
it's
it's
the
second
time
that
they
have
pulled
one
project
at
the
first
shot.
They
liked
the
simplicity
of
the
project,
the
buildings
and
they
thought
it
really
fits
in
the
neighborhood,
and
it
was
pretty
much
flattering
to
get
the
approval
on
the
first
no
review.
BE
Next,
please
again,
you
are
seeing
from
the
other
side
that
madison
park
planning
to
build
12
stories
building
across
the
street.
So
this
is
the
view
from
the
parcel
10
looking
at
this
parcel
8
building.
This
is
a
home
ownership.
We
are
planning
to
have
some
lights.
You
know
vertical
lights.
To
illuminate
the
facade
and
just
creating
you
know
more
interesting
at
the
nighttime
next,
please.
BE
This
is
the
view
from
the
benjamin
franklin
side
on
the
back
side
of
the
buildings.
The
site
between
benjamin
franklin
and
us
is
another
development
site
that
is
owned
by
benjamin
franklin
and
we
hope
they
will
consider.
You
know
that
our
design
and
this
whole
neighborhood
to
make
it
you
know
much
better
corner
of
harrison
avenue
and
this
site
next,
please
again.
B
A
Great,
I
really
like
all
the
you
know,
the
preserving
and
intentionally
setting
aside
the
green
space
there.

there's
the
empty

Good
evening
and
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
and
director
at
jameson,
my
name
is
stephen
harvey
and
I'm
a
project
manager
at
the
bpda,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
today.
The
project
I
bring
before
you
today
is
554
562
columbia,
road
located
in
dorchester's,
open
corner
on
february,
10
2021,
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency
received
the
letter
of
intent
from
the
proponent
on
june
23
2021.
BF
We
received
the
project
notification
form
for
the
proposal.
The
proponent
proposed
to
restore
the
existing
four-story
fox
hall
building,
as
well
as
add
a
five-story
addition
to
the
rear
of
the
existing
fox
hall
building
where
the
parcel
is
currently
vacant.
If
approved,
the
new
mixed-use
building
would
maintain
the
ground
floor
retail,
but
adds
65
rental
units
and
24
parking
spaces
most
exciting,
and
importantly,
this
proposal
is
an
all
affordable
development
with
no
displacement.
This
means
the
proponent
has
agreed
to
work
with
the
current
tenants
to
avoid
any
displacement.
Again.
BF
This
is
an
all
affordable
development
that
will
add
65,
affordable
units
to
the
city's
affordable
unit
housing
stock.
I
held
two
virtual
public
meetings
and
two
virtual
iag
meetings
for
the
project.
The
meetings
were
well
attended
and
the
majority
of
communities
community
members
were
supportive
of
the
project.
BF
BF
AA
Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board.
The
proposed
project
is
located
within
the
upcom's
corner
arts
and
innovation
district.
This
district
is
the
product
of
several
planning
processes,
including
the
uphem
corner
implementation
process
and
the
upcom's
corner
station
area
plan
of
the
fairmont
indigo
planning
initiative.
AA
A
primary
goal
of
these
planning
processes
is
the
promotion
of
economic
development
without
displacement.
The
proposed
project
achieves
this
goal
by
retaining
existing
income
restricted
units,
as
well
as
the
existing
ground
floor
retail
businesses
on
site.
A
hundred
percent
of
the
new
units
will
be
income
restricted
and
marketed
to
local
artists.
AA
Key
to
this
project
is
the
preservation
and
reuse
of
the
existing
four-story
building
on
site,
known
as
fox
hall.
It
is
a
key
component
of
the
architectural
and
culture
of
significance
in
upcom's
corner
and
the
design
of
the
new
building
takes
cues
from
this
existing
fabric
in
that
building,
including
sophisticated
strategies
to
step
down
to
the
lower
scale
homes
on
virginia
street
public
realm
improvements
include
the
preservation
of

miller
good
evening
to
to
secretary
polinis
and
director
jemison.
We
are
very
proud
to
be
here
tonight
with
the
result
of
a
community-based
development
in
the
heart
of
opbaham's
corner,
as
steven
indicated
and
kathleen
as
well.
The
existing
building
fox
hall
is
an
asset
and
a
jewel
to
the
upcom's
corner.
AT
Community
it'll
be
restored
retained
and,
as
you
see
on
the
overview
here,
there
is
a
vast
surface
area.
Surface
lot,
that's
underutilized
in
the
back
that
we
are
looking
to
introduce
a
new
housing
in
an
appropriate
manner
that
complements
the
planning
efforts
of
the
city
and
the
needs
of
the
community.
AT
I
would
just
say,
with
respect
to
the
residential
housing,
whether
we,
what
we're
most
proud
of,
is
the
fact
that
it'll
include
not
just
all
income
or
restricted
affordability,
but
a
vast
range
for
lower
income
earners.
All
the
way
up
to
the
middle
class
that
we
consider
to
be
very
important
and,
as
stephen
indicated,
the
existing
tenants
and
the
commercial
businesses
in
fox
hall
will
remain
and
they
will
have
an
enhanced
environment
within
the
improved
structure.
So
no
displacement.
AT
Before
I
hand
this
off
to
our
team.
I
want
to
just
introduce
you
to
them
and
say
a
few
words
of
thanks.
As
steven
indicated,
we
appreciate
the
engagement

support

It's
a
significant
element
to

This
these
three
slides
show
the
work
that
we've
done
since
we've
taken
ownership
of
the
property
two
years
ago.
It
was
a
blighted
area
with
trash
and
weeds
and
and
other
materials
left
by
vagrants,
and
but
we
took
the
time
to
clean
it
up,
make
it
more
aesthetic
for
the
neighbors
across
the
street
and
more
usable
for
our
own
tenants.
We
have
15
single
room
occupancy
tenants
in
the
existing
fox
hall,
building
and
and
and
during
the
pandemic.
F
We
we
decided
to
pave
an
area
in
the
back
to
facilitate
the
business

our
ground
level,
restaurant

and
help

want
to
thank
you

your
time
again
today.

I
bring
before
you
today
is
270
west
2nd

located
in
south
boston
on
june
29

the
boston
planning
and
development
agency
received
the
letter
of
intent
from
the
proponent
on
september,
29
2021.
BF
We
received
the
project
notification
form
for
the
proposal
the
proponent
proposed
to
demolish
the
single-story
industrial
building
and
construct
a
modern
five-story
residential
building
on
the
site.
If
approved,
the
new
building
will
contain
81
rental
units,
60
parking
spaces
and
81
bicycle
parking
spaces.
The
proposal
would
also
add
12,
affordable
units
to
the
city's
affordable
unit
housing
stock.
I
held
two
virtual
public
meetings
and
three
virtual
ihd
meetings
for
the
project.
All
meetings
were
well
attended
and
the
discussions
were
fruitful.
Both
virtual
public
meetings
were
advertised
in
the
local
paper
and
via
email.
BF
The
comment
period
for
this
project
ended
on

boston,
city,
councilor
and
current
council
president
ed
flynn,
the
development
team,
and
I
are

his
support.
I
would
now
like
to
pass
it
over
to
my
colleague
and
community
affairs
liaison
mark
mcgonagall
to
touch
on
the
planning
context
for
the
area
once

you
next

planning
context
with
270

Second,
one
to
note
it's
not
an
active
planning
area.
At
the
moment.
Of
course,
we
start
with
citywide
plans
on
down
and
make
sure
it's
consistent
with
those
big
picture
goals.
BG
Next,
on
neighborhood
plans
upcoming
anyway,
the
south
boston
transportation
action
plan
is
right
around
the
corner.
We're
able
to
secure
around
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
towards
both
some
of
that
planning
effort,
as
well
as
some
pedestrian
improvements,
particularly
sidewalk
improvements.
This
is
within
a
half
mile
of
the
broadway
t
station
and
also
on
neighborhood
context,
if
you
remember
last
port
of
the
board
before
we
approved
in
close
proximity,
202,
west,
first
and
r
d
proposal,
and
so
adding
some
residential
and
close
proximity
to
that
recent
approval.
BG
BG
Oh
I'm
sorry,
this
is
part
of
article
68,
most
recently
amended
in
2011,
and
while
this
building
does
surpass
some
of
those
limits,
it's
not
by
much
and
as
the
project
opponent
will
get
into
in
more
detail,
we
feel
that
it's,
it
fits
appropriately
given
the
surrounding
already
developed
buildings,
as
with
that
I'll
pass
it
over
to
the
development
team.
Thank
you
very
much.
AT
Thank
you
mark
and
thank
you
stephen
again
for
the
last
time
tonight
attorney
joe
hanley
and
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
palginis
and
director
jemison.
AT
AT
As
mark
indicated,
this
part
of
the
neighborhood
in
article
68
was
was
changed
from
industrial
to
residential
in
2019
and
then
updated
in
2011..
Why
that's
important
is
this
particular
site
is
an
old
vestige
of
that
industrial
when
people
worked
and
lived
in
south
boston,
but
also,
perhaps
more
recently
had
to
endure
the
not
so
pleasant
mix
of
industrial
uses
next
to
their
homes.
AT
We
are
on
the
south
side
of
1st
street
corridor
between
2nd
and
first
street.
It's
a
through
lot
and
the
existing
use
is
a
swift
processing
plant,
and
so
we
think,
by
introducing
residential
with
the
on-site
amenities
and
with
the
commitment
to
supporting
and
upgrading
public
realm
accessibility
mobility
around
the
neighborhood
that
we
can
create
something
that
fits
better
for
the
future
of
the
residents.
AT
And
so
with
me
tonight
is
my
client
phil
balboni
and
bill
cress
phil
is
his
family?
Is
the
longtime
owner
of
this
property
for
nearly
half
a
century
and
he
is
very
knowledgeable
and
committed
to
the
south,
boston,
community
and
interest
and
excited
to
deliver
this
product
project.
Excuse
me
with
his
partner
we're
also
working
with
pro
ins,
chelinski,
architects,
and
I
had
frank
smith
who
was
with
me
this
evening,
to
take
you
through
the
presentation.
AT
BH
BH
You
know
our
lot
is
located
near
the
intersection
of
d
street
and
west
first
street,
and
as
joe
mentioned,
this
is
a
through
lot
with
frontage
along
both
west
1st
street
west,
2nd
street.
You
know
an
interesting
thing
about
this
site.
Is
you
if
you
notice
along
west
2nd
street,
you
have
a
sort
of
smaller
scale,
residential
neighborhood,
whereas
west
first
street,
you
see
some
more
of
those
industrial
uses
next
slide.
BH
BH
BH
H
BH
Similarly,
along
west
2nd
street
we've
expanded
the
sidewalk
to
10
feet
and
you
know
healed
those
curb
cuts
and
provided
space
for
those
same
amenities.
BH
One
of
the
important
collaborations
with
the
bpda
was
really
working
to
make
sure
that
there
was
no
backup
house,
both
west
first
street
and
west
second
street
were
active
and
so
you'll
notice
that
our
main
lobby
and
our
bike
rooms
along
west
first
street.
BH
Here
we
have
some
sections.
The
top
section
here
is
illustrating
how
we
step
the
building
down
to
four
stories
along
west.
Second
street
you'll.
Remember
that's
the
more
residential
neighborhood
and
you
want
to
be
respectful
of
the
scale
along
that
street
and
we
look
at
the
lower
section.
This
is
really
just
illustrating
the
degree
to
which
we've
really
pulled
the
building's
footprint
back
on
the
upper
levels
to
ensure
lighten
air
for
all
residents.
BH
AS
BH
We
also
have
bays
to
help
break
up
the
facade
and
you'll
notice
along
the
streetscape
here,
where
we
put
some
focus,
we
have
additional
we've
put
in
street
trees
where
there
are
none
along
the
street.
Currently
you
know-
and
you
can
also
see,
that
the
majority
of
the
facade
on
the
ground
level
is
glazed
and
well
lit
next
level.
Next
slide,
please.
BH
And
here
we
have
west
2nd
street
in
you
know
this.
You
can
see
that
expression.
You
know
the
four-story
expression
by
dropping
down
a
story
along
west.
Second,
the
goal
here
really
has
always
been
to
be
respectful
of
the
scale
and
of
the
context
of
this
neighborhood
along
the
street,
and
similarly,
you
know
with
west
first
street.
You
can
see
the
addition
of
some
new
street
trees
and
again
keeping
that
well
lit
glazed
ground
level
for
the
pedestrian
experience,
and
I
think
that's
what
I
have
for
the
next
slide.
AT
Yeah,
thank
you,
frank
and
madam
chair.
Just
to
kind
of
bring
this
into
a
close
here.
Here
are
the
highlights
and
things
that
we
think
are.
You
know
really
important
benefits
of
this
project
in
the
respect
to
the
live
category.
Obviously
we
talked
about
the
81
units,
but
mark
mcgonagall
had
mentioned
too.
We
worked
hard
and
through
the
affh
program
to
exceed
not
just
the
required
allotment
of
affordability
on
site,
but
also
to
include
more
family
sized
units
for
affordability,
for
a
greater
range
of
income
earners,
both
lower
and
towards
the
middle
class.
AT
We
also,
you
know,
think
that
we
have
a
responsibility
for
live,
not
just
within
our
corners
of
our
project
but
within
the
neighborhood
itself,
and
that's
what
we
learned
from
the
folks
who
lent
their
time
to
us
in
the
community
and
that's
why
we're
creating
an
on-site
dog
walk
not
just
for
us,
but
to
alleviate
some
of
the
impacts
that
the
area
parks
are
feeling
from
dogs
coming
from
other
buildings
that
don't
have
those
facilities
and
our
particular
block
happens
to
be
right,
we're
in
the
same
block
as
buckley
park,
which
is
between
d
and
e.
AT
One
of
the
important
things
about
this
is
you
know
we
are
in
sort
of
a
transition
section
of
the
neighborhood.
AT
But
if
you
know
this
part
of
the
lower
end
of
the
sidewalks
there's
a
lot
of
buckled,
sidewalks,
there's
a
lot
of
old
industrial
that
doesn't
have
accessible,
widened,
sidewalks
and
so
we're
helping
to
set
the
way
for
that
and
while
we're
only
a
half
a
mile
to
broadway
station
t
station,
which
is
very
busy
we're
making
investments
to
help
people
get
there
back
and
forth
better
and
also
to
invest
in
the
mbta
transit
service
analysis,
so
that
we
can
enhance
ridership
not
just
for
our
residents
but
for
the
neighborhood
as
a
whole
and,
finally,
as
frank,
detailed
we're
excited
to
provide
a
all-electric
and
sustainable
development.
AT
A
Yeah
absolutely
thank
you
and
I
think,
almost
on
cue,
both
my
dogs
visited
during
that
presentation.
So
you
know,
do
do
love
that
that
you
are
incorporating
that
space
as
a
former
you
know
downtown
city
dog
owner,
it's
definitely
an
amenity
that
that
is,
that
is
lacking
in
a
lot
of
those
areas.
So
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
B
J
A
D
A
Miller
aye
and
the
chairpers
I'm
ms
axis,
thank
you
and
congratulations.
Thank.
A
BF
Good
evening
and
thank
you,
madam
chair,
once
again,
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
and
director
golden
my
name-
is
stephen
harvey
and
I'm
a
project
manager
at
the
bpa,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
today.
Again.
The
project
I
bring
before
you
today
is
354
e
street,
located
in
south
boston
on
november
19
2021,
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency
received
a
small
project
through
application
from
the
proponent,
the
owner
proposed
to
revitalize
the
former
saint
vincent's
depaul
roman
catholic
church,
building,
transforming
the
former
church
into
residential
housing.
BF
The
new
residential
structure
will
contain
35
rental
units,
35
parking
spaces
and
35
bicycle
parking
spaces.
If
approved.
The
proposal
would
not
only
preserve
and
modernize
this
historic
building,
but
would
add
six
affordable
units
to
the
city's
affordable
unit
housing
stock.
I
held
a
virtual
public
meeting
for
the
project
on
december
14
2021..
BF
BF
I
would
like
to
pass
it
over
to
community
affairs
liaison
mark
mcgonagall
to
touch
on
the
planning
context
for
the
area
once
mark
runs
through
the
pentacontext
slide.
Shane.
The
project
architect
will
present
the
presentation.
George
morancy,
the
project
attorney,
is
also
in
attendance.
Once
the
presentation
is
complete,
we
will
answer
any
questions
put
forward
by
the
board.
Thank
you
once
again
for
your
time
today.
BG
Thank
you,
stephen
and
good
evening,
once
again,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
for
the
planning
context
for
this
proposal.
Once
again,
this
is
not
an
active
planning
area.
Of
course
we
stopped
the
larger
city-wide
plans
and
zooming
in
on
neighborhood
context.
Unlike
the
previous
proposal,
this
is
more
of
a
mid-neighborhood
fabric,
not
along
the
edge,
but
in
close
proximity
to
that
previous
project.
BG
It
directly
abuts
and
overlooks
neighboring,
buckley
playground
and,
of
course,
we're
saving
the
existing
church,
which
believe
it
or
not.
There
was
some
conversation
about
the
merits
of
doing
that
at
the
initial
onset
of
this
project
and
the
zoning
code.
This
one
is
in
the
south,
boston,
rezoning
initiative,
area
of
2016,
of
course,
there's
an
adaptive
reuse
of
the
current
church.
Those
dimensional
regulations
are
rather
moot
in
this
instance,
in
public
feedback.
BG
Initial
concepts
entertain
more
of
what
I
call
a
respectful
modernization
of
the
church,
but
the
community
really
felt
strongly
they
wanted
to
keep
the
historic
nature
of
the
church
as
much
as
possible,
and
so
the
team
will
get
into
more
detail,
but
essentially
we're
saving
the
church
which
adding
some
room
in
the
top.
For
additional
living
space,
so
with
that,
I
will
pass
along
to
the
development
team.
BI
Sorry
about
that
hear
me
now
good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
director
jemison
secretary
of
plymouth,
I'm
shane
losey
with
chewing
company
architects
representing
the
project
team.
This
initial
slide
is
a
aerial
from
the
southeast.
You
can
see
the
existing
saint
vincent's
church
in
the
middle
here
buckley
playground
is
behind
the
church
to
on
the
street
on
the
left.
Side
is
west
3rd
street.
The
street
on
the
right
side
of
the
church
is
bolton
street
and
e
street
runs
side
to
side
in
front
of
the
church.
From
this
perspective,
next
slide,
please.
BI
So
here
we
have
some
context
photos.
The
top
left
is
3rd
street.
Looking
towards
e
street,
you
can
see
buckwheat
playground
in
the
left
corner,
lower
section
behind
that
greyish
car
on
the
bottom
left.
We
have
the
view
of
bolton
street
towards
e
street.
Again
again,
we
see
buckley
playground
in
the
corner
here
on
the
right
side
of
the
photo
with
the
trees.
BI
You
can
see
the
narrow
sidewalks
that
exist
now
on
bolton
street
and
the
existing
parking
area
up
against
the
side
of
the
church.
Further
down
the
road
in
the
photo,
the
lower
right.
We
have
the
view
from
bolton
street
looking
for
I'm
sorry
from
e
street.
Looking
down
bolton
street
again,
you
can
see
the
parking
lot
up
against
the
side
of
the
church,
the
narrow
sidewalks
that
run
down
bolton
now
and
the
existing
church
here
on
the
upper
right.
We
have
the
view
from
e
street
looking
down
west.
Third,
behind
the
construction
fence
is
a.
BI
Set
down
hardscape
kind
of
patio
area
right
now,
it
acts
as
window
wells
for
the
existing
lower
level
of
the
church,
which
is
a
community
run,
and
you
can
kind
of
see
some
of
the
existing
details
of
the
church
with
the
round
windows
on
the
upper
levels,
the
arched
windows
down
below
and
just
some
of
the
details
of
the
existing
building.
Next.
BI
BI
BI
So
along
bolton
street
we've
increased
the
existing
sidewalk
from
four
feet
to
seven
and
a
half
feet,
and
then
the
existing
parking
area
that
is
there
now
we've
replaced
with
green
space
for
the
majority
of
bolton
street
we've
also
filled
in
the
curb
cut.
That
runs
basically
the
entirety
of
the
lot
along
bolton
to
make
that
sidewalk,
even
you
know,
improve
that
sidewalk
even
more
for
public
realm
aspects
along
e
street,
where
there's
not
much
space
to
add
anything,
but
we
are
adding
a
little
bit
of
green
space
on
the
corners.
BI
BI
So,
right
now,
as
I
mentioned
in
that
photo
earlier-
it's
a
depressed
kind
of
patio
area
from
the
sidewalk,
so
we're
filling
that
area
in
raising
it
up,
creating
this
green
space,
adding
visitor
bike
parking
and
as
well
adding
an
access
to
an
upgrade
bike
room
on
this
side
of
the
building
and
then,
as
we
kind
of
move
to
the
back,
lower
left
portion,
we're
back
at
buckley
park.
The
next
slide,
please.
BI
This
is
the
ground
floor
plan.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
it's
kind
of
hard
to
read
on
this,
but
the
dashed
lines
are
the
existing
footprint
of
the
building
in
the
back,
but
we're
coming
in
on
the
top
left
off
of
bolton
street
for
the
garage
access
for
the
35
garage
parking
spaces
on
the
e
street
side,
we're
providing
community
room,
slash
amenity
space
for
the
building
that
will
be
open
to
public
meetings
for
the
community.
BI
We
have
the
central
lobby
that
re
uses
one
of
the
existing
entrances
entrances
into
the
church,
and
then
we
have
the
the
byte
from
prominently
placed
on
the
corner
of
west
third
and
e,
with
direct
access
out
to
that
area.
I
showed
on
the
site
plant
next
to
the
accessory
bike
parking
next
slide.
Please
this
is
the
bolton
street
elevation,
so
the
proposal
you
can
see
there's
a
lower
left
is
the
existing
facade.
BI
So
it's
there's
a
lot
of
roof
on
the
church
now
in
order
to
try
to
create
some
living
space
within
that
roof.
We're
adding
dormers
along
the
roof
line
in
correlation
with
the
windows
below
also
on
the
middle
section
of
windows,
we're
increasing
them
up
to
or
increasing
the
size
of
them
and
expanding
them
up
to
the
existing
round
windows
that
are
on
the
upper
level
of
the
church.
BI
The
back
section
is
we're
doing
about
a
12
foot
addition
off
the
existing
extension.
So
sorry
we're
doing
a
12-foot
edition
off
the
existing
extension
using
red
brick,
which
is
similar
to
what's
there
already.
The
existing
materials
on
this
side
are
a
pudding
stone
and
we're,
obviously
maintaining
that
on
the
existing
church
next
slide
boost.
BI
This
is
the
west
third
street
side
very
similar
to
the
bolton
street,
with
the
addition
on
the
left.
Buckley
park
is
on
the
left
again,
the
red
brick.
The
difference
is
on
this
side
is
the
existing
stone
is
granite,
there's
actually
a
stone
that
was
taken
over
from
fort
hill.
It
went
downtown
when
it
was
redeveloped
in
the
1800s
and
moved
to
this
location
and
rebuilt
on
portion
of
the
church.
So
it's
on
this
facade
and
the
front
facade
of
the
building
next
slide,
please.
BI
This
is
the
rear
of
the
church.
So
we
want
to
take
advantage
of
obviously
having
the
park
next
door,
so
we're
trying
to
open
up
the
building
as
much
as
possible
to
that
park
view
you
see
on
the
top
right.
That's
the
existing
facade,
which
is
basically
a
blank
brick
wall
up
against
the
park.
Now
we're
looking
to
create
some
kind
of
interaction
between
the
building
and
the
park
by
opening
up
those
walls.
BI
You
know
we're
going
from
one
story
to
six
stories,
so
obviously
needed
to
add
a
bit
more
window
space
where
the
roads
are
much
here
now
next
slide,
please
there's
a
rendering
looking
down
west
third
street
from
back
buckley
parks
on
the
left,
the
addition
with
the
brick
you
can
see
coming
out
and
then
the
dormers
on
the
roof
next
slide.
Please
and
then
again
on
bolton
street
similar.
You
see
the
garage
entrance
on
the
lower
right
and
the
dorms
on
the
roof.
BI
The
extended
windows
in
the
middle
of
the
facade
of
the
existing
church
and
then
obviously
the
green
space
alarm
bolton
and
the
widened
street
sidewalk
to
increase
the
public
ground
next
slide,
that's
it
yeah,
and
that
is
it
any
questions.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
A
Okay,
cool
all
right,
okay,
well
hearing
and
saying
none
emotion
is
in
order.
B
A
Congratulations
and
and
way
to
go
again.
You
know
you
know
creating
and
preserving
creating
new
space
with
with
preserving
our
history.
I
really
really
like
it.
A
Okay,
great:
let's
see,
item
number
33
right,
yeah

is
363
e

located
in
south
boston.
BF
On
september,
1st
2021,
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency
received
a
small
project
review
application
from
the
proponent
proponent,
proposed
to
construct
a
four-story
residential
building
on
the
site
where
the
saint
vincent's
church,
rectory
currently
sits.
The
new
residential
structure
will
contain
24
rental
units,
25
parking
spaces
and
26
bicycle
parking
spaces.
If
approved,
the
proposal
would
add
four
affordable
units
to
the
city's
affordable
unit
housing
stock.
I
held
two
virtual
public
meetings
for
the
project.
Both
meetings
were
well
attended
and
overall
feedback
for
the
project
was
positive.
BF
BF
Once
again,
I
would
like
to
turn
it
over
to
the
community
affairs
liaison
mark
mcgonagall
to
touch
on
the
planning
context
for
the
area
once
mark
runs
through
the
planning
context
slide
shane.
The
project
architect
will
present
the
project
proposal.
George
moranti,
the
project
attorney,
is
also
an
attendant
once
the
presentation
is
complete.
We
will
answer
any
questions
put
forward
by
the
board.
Thank
you
again
for
your
time
this
evening.
BG
Thank
you
once
again,
stephen
and
good
evening.
Once
again,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
next
slide,
please
thank
you.
The
planning
context
for
this
project
very
similar,
similar
right
across
the
street,
also
not
an
active
planning
area,
also,
of
course,
bid
neighborhood
fabric
other
neighborhood
context,
of
course,
same
as
last
time,
very
close
proximity
to
buckley
playground.
It's
also
a
through
lot
from
west
3rd
to
bolton
street
zoning
code
implications.
This
also
falls
in
the
article
68
as
amended
in
the
south
boston
rezoning
initiative
of
2016..
BG
This
project
does
slightly
go
higher
than
those
dimensions
of
43
feet
versus
40,
respectively
and
far
approximately
2.5
versus
two,
but
again
we're
getting
four
idp
units
and
a
very
sizable
contribution
towards
that
buckley
playground.
That
was
also
a
result
of
community
feedback
that
the
folks
wanted
to
see.
The
community
benefit
go
to
the
neighborhood
playground.
So
with
that,
I
will
pass
it
over
to
shane
once
again.
Thank
you.
BI
BI
We
can
see
the
former
saint
vincent
de
paul
church
in
the
foreground
projects
across
the
street,
from
that
it's
the
former
rectory
of
the
church,
and
also
a
small
single
family,
that
white
building
on
the
right
is
a
separate
single
family
and
then
another
church
building
adjacent
to
that
on
west
derrick
street.
Next
slide,
please
on
the
left.
We
have
west
3rd
street
from
e
street.
BI
The
building
in
the
foreground
is
the
single
family.
I
just
talked
about
the
light
bluish
building.
Second,
inn
is
a
former
church
building
on
the
right.
We
have
the
view
from
west
3rd
street.
Looking
back
towards
e
street.
The
light
blue
building
is
the
a
former
church
building
and
the
white
building
next
to
it
in
between
that
and
the
church
is
a
single
family
and
you
can
see
the
church
in
the
background
next
slide.
Please.
BI
BI
BI
We
are
proposing
to
close
off
the
large
curb
cuts
that
exist
on
bolton
street
now
and
then
widening
bolton
street
from
the
current
four
feet
to
seven
and
a
half
feet
total
and
then
our
access
to
the
garage
is
off
bolton
street
to
a
small,
curb
cut
on
this
side
as
well
as
we
move
around
to
e
street
on
the
left.
BI
We're
closing
a
large
curb
cuts
that
curb
cut.
That
is
there
now
we're
adding
some
sidewalk
depth
on
our
property
to
make
the
sidewalks
nine
and
a
half
feet
from
the
current
and
a
half
seven
and
three
quarter
feet
and
then,
as
we,
the
two
trees
are,
there
are
existing
site
street
trees
and
then,
as
we
turn
the
corner
down
west
third,
we
are
increasing
that
sidewalk
to
nine
and
a
half
feet
next
slide.
BI
Please
at
this
is
the
proposed
ground
flow
level
on
again
from
the
top
of
the
screen
is
bolton
street
and
the
access
to
the
garage
and
the
24
parking
spaces
is
off
of
there.
We're
increasing
that
sidewalk
depth
at
the
corner
of
bolton
e.
We
have
the
bike
room,
which
we
have
lots
of
glass
in,
and
it
really
opens
it
up
to
the
outside.
BI
BI
BI
The
building's
broken
up
in
scale,
the
whole
middle
section
stepped
back,
which
we
can
see
in
rendering
a
few
slides
from
here
to
kind
of
put
the
building
in
more
context
with
the
smaller
buildings
that
are
around
it,
materials
we
are
proposing,
are
fiber
cement,
cladboard
ash
panel
on
the
lower
level
and
composite
slate
for
the
man's
side.
BI
So
this
is
the
bolton
street
elevation
again
similar
materials
fiber
cement,
composite
slate
polyash.
At
the
lower
level,
we
have
inset
decks
again
to
kind
of
break
up
the
mass
of
the
building,
and
it
makes
it
a
little
more
contextual,
with
some
of
the
adjacent
buildings.
BI
Next
slide,
please:
here
we
have
the
third
street
elevation,
as
you
see
the
site
grade
kind
of
slopes
up
as
we
come
around
the
building.
This
is
where
we
have
the
residential
uses
on
the
ground
floor.
So
we've
kind
of
we
have
the
windows
reflecting
that
difference
in
use
from
the
rest
of
the
building
and
again
the
inset
porches,
to
try
to
break
up
some
of
that
mass
and
provide
some
open
space
for
the
residents
and
the
next
slide.
Please.
BI
This
is
the
rear
elevation.
Again
we
have
some
inset
decks,
there's
some
in
and
out
with
some
of
the
building
elements
here,
so
it
reads
flat,
but
it's
actually,
the
left
side
of
the
building
is
further
away
than
the
right
side
of
the
building,
and
then
we
see
the
church
in
the
background,
just
as
kind
of
a
a
show
of
mass
of
this
versus.
BI
What's
there
now
next
slide,
please
it's
just
a
rendering
from
the
corner
of
e
street
and
west
third
showing
the
proposal,
as
you
can
see
kind
of
stepping
the
middle
section
of
the
e
street
side
on
the
left.
Back
we
have
the
bays
on
the
right
side
on
west
3rd
street.
We
have
the
inset
balconies
to
try
to
kind
of
break
up
that
mass
and
then
at
the
lower
level
we
have
the
more
residential
feel
of
the
building,
which
kind
of
fits
in
with
some
of
the
other
buildings
on
the
street.
A
Yeah
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
B
Really
transformative
designs
this
and
the
previous
one.
They
look
terrific.
A
Great
okay,
so
there
are
no
further
comments.
C
Thank
you.
Congratulations
thank.
A
We'll
be
here
for
a
little
bit
longer,
but
not
too
much.
Okay.

the

Additionally,
the
board
approved
the
creation
of
chinese
boston
for
limited

to
own

operate
the
newly

Four
before
you
today,
we
have
the
second
amendment.
BJ
The
application
comes
from
the
owners
of
all
four
phases.
They
request.
They
request
authorization
to
assign
their
limited
partnership
interest
in
their
special
limited
partnership
interest
in
all
four
phases
to
be
assumed
by
east

The
ownership
structure
of
all
four

is
the
same.
They
are
comprised

BL
Good
evening,
everybody,
and
thanks
so
much
for
thanks
so
much
for
the
introduction
chair.
I
wanted
to
just
provide
a
few
updates.
A
few
project
highlights
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
something
that
was
announced
yesterday,
land
audit,
so
just
to
get
started
with
that.
I
did
want
to
say
a
really
hearty.
Thank
you
to
you,
the
board
for,
for
the
that
was
the
beginning.
Last
last
month,
the
the
vote
was
the
beginning
of
a
really
exciting
month.
BL
For
me
of
learning
from
and
with
the
the
leadership
of
this
agency,
the
just
how
much
exciting
stuff
is
happening
in
the
city.
Right
now
I
remain.
I
I've
remained
in
awe
of
some
of
the
the
kind
of
work
that's
going
on
in
this
agency
and
the
chance
to
get
exposed
to
it
again
for
the
last
30
days
has
been
a
huge
amount
of
fun.
BL
I
did
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
the
talented
staff
that
work
so
hard
to
prepare
tonight's
agenda
and
just
tell
you
that
there's
a
several
months
of
additional
activity
like
this-
that's
built
up
behind
it,
just
to
sort
of
highlight
a
little
bit
of
some
of
the
highlights
tonight.
You
know
this.
This
team
and
your
you.
The
board,
approved
13
new
development
projects,
totaling
approximately
567
new
residential
units,
of
which
210
were
income
restricted.
BL
I
did
want
to
say
that,
among
the
projects
that
have
a
mix
of
incomes,
you
know
you've
got
almost
all
of
them
were
over
13
idp
units,
most
of
them
15
to
17,
so
people
are
proposing
more
units
than
required
and
having
those
numbers
approved.
BL
There's
over
252
million
dollars
with
the
projects
proposed
here
and
the
commercial
square
and
residential
square
footage
approved
today
is
is
over
875
000.
people
will
go
to
work,
18
new
direct
jobs
and
375
indirect
jobs
will
be
created
by
what
was
approved
in
today's
agenda,
and
I
know
this
is
consistent
with
the
way
we've
reported
the
impact
of
board
agendas.
We
may
be
adding
additional
metrics
to
help
even
more
fully
characterize
the
impact
that
these
approvals
have.
So
with
with
that.
BL
Thank
you
and
the
and
the
highlight
of
the
development
projects
approved
tonight
did
want
to
just
provide
a
little
bit
of
color
on
an
announcement
that
took
place
yesterday
that
our
staff
was
really
involved
in,
along
with
the
city
staff,
just
to
highlight
it
because
it's
important
for
your
background.
BL
I
was
able
to
join
the
mayor
and
chief
dylan
yesterday,
along
with
chief
franklin
hodge,
to
talk
about
a
city-owned
land
and
a
land
audit
that
was
recently
completed
that
included
bpda
on
land.
The
announcement
took
place
at
bunker
bunker
hill
community
college
parking
lots
that
are
owned
by
the
agency,
which
really
have
great
potential
to
become
a
range
of
different
things
that
the
residents
of
charlestown
might
want
them
to
become
affordable
housing,
market
housing
and
a
mixture
open
space
room
for
great
transportation.
BL
Improvements
to
deal
with
some
of
the
challenges
that
transportation
has
in
that
area,
but
that's
just
a
one
site
of
250
sites
belonging
to
bpda
that
were
identified
in
the
audit
and
we're
just
excited
about
the
fact
that
this
audit
is
identified
so
many
places
around
the
city
and
every
part
of
the
city
where
we
can
realize
some
of
the
neighborhood
goals
that
the
people
have
for
the
city.
We're
going
to
be
beginning
community
process
on
these
sites
and
including
them
into
the
plans
we're
working
on
the
site
we
were
in
in
charlestown.
BL
It's
going
to
be
part
of
the
planned.
Charlestown
work,
that's
ongoing,
but
we
also
get
to
expose
all
of
these
all
these
sites
to
our
new
dei
requirements
that
will
encourage
the
putting
to
work
a
set
of
firms
and
people
that
only
represent
the
wide
range
of
people
in
our
city.
So
we're
excited
about
this.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
it
because
we
were
so
involved
in
it
and
your
vpda
staff
were
such
a
critical
part
of
making
it
happen,
including
in
particular
folks
like
devin,
kirk
and
and
rebecca.
BL
So
a
large
number
of
folks
participated
in
it,
people
I
haven't
named,
but
it's
a
long
list,
but
at
least
I
had
a
couple.
What
do
you
know
about
that?
And
with
that
I
would
sort
of
conclude
my
comments
today
and
say:
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
next
month
of
collaboration
and
the
board
agenda
that
will
come
forward
for
july.
A
Okay,
thanks
so
much
director
johnson
all
right.
Well.
That
concludes
our
agenda.
For
for
tonight's
meeting,
I
need
a
motion
to
adjourn
this
meeting.
D
AD
A
And
the
chair
votes,
I
motion
passes
meeting
adjourned
thanks.
Everyone
we'll
see
you
next
month
thanks
everybody.
