A
Hey,
thank
you
everyone,
so
we
are
now
returning
to
the
bra
regular
session
at
this
time.
So,
first
item
on
the
agenda:
approval
of
the
contract
with
non-union
personnel,
a
motion
is
in
order.
B
C
A
And
the
chair
boats
eye
motion
passes
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item.
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
to
express
thanks
and
to
director
golden
and
give
a
few
remarks
on
all
the
accomplishments
made
throughout
his
career.
A
On
behalf
of
the
board,
I
would
like
to
thank
brian
for
his
many
years
of
service
to
our
city.
His
over
eight
years
of
leadership
makes
him
the
longest
serving
director
in
the
agent's
agency's
65-year
history.
We
have
seen
firsthand
the
instrumental
work
brian
has
done,
has
done
to
lead
and
support
economic
development
and
new
housing
opportunities
that
lift
up
our
communities
same
time.
He
has
ushered
in
meaningful
operational
reforms
to
the
agency,
creating
a
more
transparent,
accountable
bpda
that
better
serves
the
people
of
boston.
A
The
approvals
include
approximately
46
000
new
housing
units,
nearly
11,
000
of
which
are
designated
as
income
restricted
over
80
000,
permanent
jobs
over
90
000
construction
jobs
and
46
000.
Additional
indirect
jobs
since
2019
over
20
of
the
new
housing
units
approved
each
year
have
been
income
restricted.
A
Over
35
of
the
units
approved
in
2021
were
income,
restricted
boston,
has
a
higher
percentage
of
income,
restricted,
affordable
housing
than
any
other
city
in
america,
and
all
that
was
accomplished
under
director.
Golden's
leadership
ryan
has
significantly
grown
the
bpda's
planning
capacity,
dedicating
the
resources
and
personnel
necessary
to
complete
the
first
general
city
plan
since
1965
imagine
boston
2030,
which
the
board
formally
adopted
in
2017.
A
since
2014,
the
bpda
has
planned
over
14
square
miles,
representing
almost
30
percent
of
boston's
land
land
mass.
We
see
the
result
of
these
planning
efforts
and
development
proposals
that
come
before
us.
Each
month,
brian
has
managed
over
20
million
square
feet
of
bpdi-owned
property,
prioritizing
public
land
for
the
public
good
and
transform
the
public
disposition
process
for
the
ada
loan
owned
land,
adopting
a
transparent,
accessible
approach
that
emphasizes
through
community
input.
A
We've
seen
the
work
brian
has
led
to
further
opportunities
for
all
bostonians,
including
adopting
a
language
access
plan
to
ensure
that
non-english
speaking
residents
can
participate
in
the
bpa's
work
in
a
meaningful
way.
He
supported
the
work
of
the
mayor's
office
of
workforce
development
through
job
training,
educational
opportunities
such
as
free
community
college
and
financial
empowerment
program.
A
A
We
will
each
individually
miss
your
leadership,
but
also
wish
you
best
of
luck
in
your
next
endeavor,
and
I
would
now
like
to
open
it
up
to
the
floor
to
board
members
if
they
would
like
to
make
any
additional
remarks.
D
Yeah
I
would
like
to
add
brian.
It's
been
a
true
privilege
to
have
worked
with
you,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
dedication
and
steady
leadership.
The
city
has
benefited
tremendously
from
your
efforts
and
sincere
best
wishes
with
everything
ahead
of
you.
Thank
you.
B
B
E
F
F
F
I
think
in
the
future
this
time
will
be.
Your
tenure
here
will
be
looked
at
as
a
really
very,
very
successful
time
for
the
bpda,
and
I
also
want
to
say
personally,
it's
been
a
real
pleasure
working
with
you
and
you
have
tremendous
integrity
and
you
brought
that
to
the
agency,
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best
going
forward,
but
and
just
thank
you
for
setting
up
the
city
for
future
success.
A
Okay
and
director
golden,
if
there
are
any
remarks
that
you'd
like
to
the
floor,
is
yours.
G
G
G
G
G
More
than
150
000
jobs,
construction,
jobs,
permanent
jobs,
direct
indirect
jobs,
more
than
150
000
jobs
are
associated
with
our
decisions.
In
the
past
eight
years
and
during
the
same
period,
40
000
individuals
have
received
quality
job
training
through
our
office
of
workforce
development.
That
training
has
been
paid
for
in
large
part
by
development
linkage,
not
to
mention
millions
of
dollars
of
funding
for
affordable
housing
development
that
flows
from
development.
Linkage.
G
Our
forward-thinking
approach
to
affordable
housing,
resiliency
mobility
and
civic
engagement
was
celebrated
recently
on
the
world
stage,
with
spec
special
recognition
by
singapore's
lee
kuan
yew
world
city
prize
we've
positioned
boston
as
a
national
leader
in
equity,
with
innovative
policies.
We've
placed
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
requirements
in
our
zoning
code,
the
first
city
to
do
so.
H
G
Thanks
to
our
real
estate
team,
tenants
are
now
competing
aggressively
for
space
in
our
properties
and
we've
been
able
to
do
strong
leases
for
the
agency.
The
revenue
from
these
leases
pays
for
most
of
the
bpda's
budget
allows
us
to
fulfill
our
mission
for
the
people
of
this
city
and
and
that
revenue
positions.
G
G
G
So
I
thank
them
for
tolerating
it
all.
I
thank
them
for
their
love
and
support
during
my
time
at
this
agency.

Water
parcel
d
in
charlestown,
maybe
average
174
000
square
foot
sheet
of
water
located
immediately
adjacent
to
the
childstown
marina
water
processing
is
only
accessible
from
the
adjacent
marina.
It
has
no
act
of
direct
access
from
land
or
the
shoreline
in
2015.
Bpa
wanted
to
do
a
45-year
license
with
california
for
the
use
of
the
watershed
to
be
incorporated
into
the
marina.
H
After
lengthy
negotiations,
the
bpu
agreed
to
license
the
water
sheet
to
charleston
arena
for
a
fee
of
35
000
dollars
per
year,
with
an
agreement
to
revisit
the
key
in
2020
again
the
first.
This
isn't
a
license
of
2015..
After
the
coded
related
economic
impacts,
ppg
agreed
twice
to
extend
the
deadline
to
analyze
the
appropriate
approval.
The
license
now
requires
that
the
new
fee
becomes
payable
on
the
first
of
2022,
bpa
and
charlestown
marina
were
unable
to
agree
on
a
negotiated.
H
However,
we
both
sides
agreed
to
default
to
the
licensed
language
where
an
independent
appraiser
to
generate
for
the
license
requirement.
You
can
be
provided
a
list
of
three
appraisers
from
charlestown
arena,
from
which
they
selected
collier's
international
valuation
to
conduct
the
obvious
fee
analysis.
H
Carl
use
has
a
fine
at
the
child
selling
arena,
and
the
child's
timeline
has
agreed
to
pay
related
fifty
thousand
dollars
per
recommending
that
that
key
remain
consistent
for
five
years,
at
which
time
we
will
be
renegotiate
the
lease
or
default
once
again
to
replace
the
mechanism
in
five
years
over
the
next
five
years.
A

Thank
you.
Madam
spear.
Courageous
sailing
center
has
been
attended
on
pier
4
in
the
charleston
media
for
almost
20
years.
Courageous
provides
opportunity
for
children
in
the
city
of
boston
to
learn
the
sport
of
sailing
free
of
charge,
the
courageous
current
utilizes
p4
to
birth,
their
vessels
park
vehicles,
post
corporate
events,
fundraising
events
and
to
muster
sales
and
staffing
on
a
daily
basis.
The
current
license
term
expires
in
2024.
H
in
march
of
this
year.
A
maritime
engineer
hired
by
bpu,
reported
that
the
steel
pilings
of
fear
number
four
have
deteriorated
to
the
degree
where
only
limited
pedestrian
use
is
safe.
Pending
this
need
repair.
We
are
requesting
permission
to
relocate
courageous
to
the
adjacent
pier
number
three
for
the
remainder
of
2022,
with
the
option
to
extend
through
2023,
if
necessary,
we're
optimistic
for
a
2022
return
to
three
or
four.
H
Once
emergency
repairs
are
completed,
coincidentally,
by
laura
nelly
will
be
presenting
for
the
emergency
repair
responder,
given
the
public
benefit
provided
nopd
is
currently
charged
produced.
Therefore,
we
are
proposing
also
that
he
will
be
charged
for
the
ucpf3.
However,
courageous
will
update
all
insurance
policies
to
include
number
three.
H
Pier
five,
I'm
not
an
expert
on
that,
but
yes,
pier
five
yeah
is
also
quite
compromised
and
we
shared
the
results
of
the
engineering
study
with
going
to
the
charlestown
marina,
who
also
leads
his
peer
steps
for
their
for
their
contemplation
I'll,
be
meeting
with
them
week
after
next
to
talk
about
the
next
steps
going
right
since
they
you
know
inquire
as
to
their
level
of
concern.
K
I
can
quickly
just
add
this
is
democratic
director
real
estate,
just
to
answer
miss
down's
question,
where
I
think
it's
important
to
point
out
that
the
reason
we
became
aware
of
these
structural
deficiencies
and
laura
will
cover
this
in
detail
in
a
moment.
So
we
were
doing,
we
were
actively
engaged
in
a
repair
and
inspection
project.
Now
the
condition
of
the
pier
was
worse
than
we
expected.
We
were
out
there
doing
our
proactive
repair
work
and
then
discover
the
need
to
emergency
limit
access
to
the
pier.
K
So
I
think
we
are
we're.
We
are
now
actively
doing
the
proactive
work
we
need
to
do
to
find
the
the
repairs
that
are
necessary,
unfortunately
resulted
in
an
emergency
situation
in
this
case.
A
Okay
and
just
out
of
curiosity,
how
is
this
going
to
be
just?
Is
this
going
to
cause
a
great
impact
to
courageous
I
mean
I
know
we
definitely
have
to
do
the
work
to
to
do
that,
but
just
curious
on
on
how
their
operations
will
be
impacted.
K
I
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that,
yes,
it
will,
but
we
have
a
grip
built,
a
great
relationship
with
creative
sailing
over
the
past
many
years
and
we've
been,
we've
been
talking
them
on
a
regular
basis,
leading
up
to
this
about
the
conditions
of
the
pyramid,
and
they
know
we're
doing
everything
that
we
can
on
our
part
to
accommodate
them.
That's
part
of
the
sport
vote
to
make
sure
that
the
property
that
we
can
make
available
to
them
is
available
to
them,
but
it
will
impact
their
operations.
A
C
A
Okay
item
number,
nine
request:
authorization
to
advertise
and
issue
an
invitation
for
bids
for
pile
rehabilitation
at
pier
4
located
within
the
charlestown
navy
yard
laura.
Thank
you.
L
Very
much
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
and
today
particularly
thank
you
director
golden
I'm
here
to
present
on
behalf
of
my
colleague,
william
epperson
who's,
the
deputy
director
of
capital
construction.
I
made
deferred
to
devon
quirk
the
director
of
real
estate
for
certain
questions
and,
as
you
heard
I'll,
be
building
on
the
previous
presentation,
so
as
a
very
collaborative
team,
we're
requesting
to
advertise
and
issue
an
ifb
for
a
marine
construction
general
contractor
for
emergency
pile
repairs
to
pier
4
in
the
charlestown
navy
yard.
L
This
matter
was
last
before
you
in
september
of
2021,
when
gei
consultants
was
hired
to
complete
an
assessment
which
devon
referenced
of
the
waterfront
infrastructure
in
the
area
of
shipyard
park
in
the
navy
yard,
which
includes
pier
4.
as
context
pier
4
was
built
in
1957
by
the
u.s
military
and
is
constructed
of
steel
pipe
piles,
which
are
filled
with
unreinforced
masonry,
concrete
gai's
inspection,
which
included
underwater
inspection.
By
licensed
engineers
who
specialize
in
diving.
L
They
concluded
that
nearly
all
of
the
piers
560
piles
had
underwater
areas
of
complete
corrosion
of
the
steel
pipe
piles,
resulting
in
a
complete
loss
of
lateral
capacity
and
a
risk
of
lateral
collapse.
In
laypersons
terms,
the
pier
is
currently
swaying
slightly
as
it's
pushed
and
pulled
by
wind
and
wave
action,
and
so
given
sufficient
force
it
could
actually
topple
over.
So
that
is
what
we're
working
very
hard
to
avoid.
L
The
work
necessary
to
stabilize
and
restore
operation
of
the
pier
consists
of
constructing
jackets
of
steel,
reinforced
concrete
around
the
deteriorated
pipe
piles.
This
process
is
common
in
the
industry
and
will
be
implemented
in
two
phases.
Additionally,
given
that
the
pier
is
no
longer
needed
for
military
uses,
not
all
of
the
original
piles
will
be
reinforced.
L
The
bid
package
has
been
prepared
by
gei
and
will
be
publicly
advertised,
including
outreach
to
diverse
vendors.
The
construction
contract
will
be
awarded
to
the
lowest,
responsive
and
responsible
bidder.
The
work
is
significant
and
is
estimated
to
cost
at
around
10
million
dollars
and
will
be
funded
from
the
current
fy
22
and
the
upcoming
fy23
capital
budgets,
referring
to
our
fiscal
years.
L
Given
the
emergency
nature
of
the
work,
we're
moving
forward
with
an
accelerated
timeline,
which
we
really
appreciate,
the
collaboration
of
our
colleagues
across
the
agency
to
make
that
possible.
So
we
anticipate
returning
to
the
board
with
an
award
recommendation
next
month.
That
would
enable
us
to
complete
the
majority
of
the
work
during
this
year.
With
that,
thank
you
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
at
this
time.
A
Okay,
well
just
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
work
that
you
guys
are
doing
to
you
know
to
secure
the
property,
but
also
protect
the
the
great
resources
that
services
that
courageous
does
provide
to
to
our
community.
So
with
that
motion
is
in
order
download.
Thank.
B
L
Thank
you
once
again,
madam
chair,
I'm
returning
to
request
your
authorization
to
advertise
and
issue
this
ifp
for
electrical
repair
and
maintenance
of
properties
owned
by
the
bpda.
The
work
will
primarily
take
place
at
the
charlestown
navy
yard
and
the
downtown
waterfront,
along
with
other
locations
as
needed.
These
services
help
us
maintain
our
property
as
a
good,
landlord
and
neighbor,
and
have
also
supported
public
art
projects
and
other
community
activations.
In
recent
years,
the
ifbb
will
be
publicly
advertised
pursuant
to
massachusetts.
L
Procurement
law,
including
affirmative
marketing,
to
small,
local
and
diverse
businesses,
and
the
resulting
contract
will
be
awarded
to
the
responsible
and
responsive
bidder
with
the
lowest
total
bid
price.
The
cost
is
not
expected
to
exceed
75
000
annually
and
at
this
time
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.

in
the

of

as
a
mixed-use

consisting
of
affordable
housing
with
space
anticipated
for
a
chinatown
library

and
to
take
all
related

right.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair
director,
golden
madame
secretary
and
members
of
the
board,
and
I
too
want
to
take
an
opportunity
to
say
thank
you
very
much
for
director
golden
it's.
It's
been
an
honor
and
a
privilege
serving
under
your
directorship.
M
So
anyway,
on
to
my
boat,
bpda-owned
parcel
r1
consists
of
approx:
approximately
18
700
square
feet
of
vacant
land
bounded
by
harvard
street
to
the
south
tyler
street,
to
the
west,
hudson
street,
to
the
east
and
bordered
by
border
to
the
north
by
the
rear
of
75
neyland
street
in
a
mixed-use
building
of
predominantly
office
space
since
parcel
r1
is
one
of
the
last
large
municipally
owned
sites
in
chinatown
available
for
community-based
uses.
It
has
been
the
subject
of
community
visioning
workshops
and
planning
studies.
M
For
several
years,
the
bpda's
community
process
was
launched
in
late
2020,
specifically
to
discuss
the
issuance
of
requests
for
proposals
for
parcel
r1
with
the
community
virtual
community
meetings
via
zoom
took
place
on
november
17,
2020
and
january
20th,
2021
with
interpretation
in
both
mandarin
and
cantonese.
In
addition,
at
the
community's
request,
the
bpda
could
lead
a
language
access
meeting
entirely
in
cantonese
and
mandarin
with
english
interpretation,
co-sponsored
by
the
chinese
progressive
association
on
january
7
2021.
M
A
particular
importance
to
the
neighborhood
was
asking
that
a
development
in
r1
include
a
core
and
shell
space
that
could
be
built
out
as
a
long-awaited
permanent
chinatown
branch
of
the
boston
public
library.
The
rfp
article
articulated
that,
in
order
to
facilitate
the
process
of
including
branch
library
space
within
this
development,
the
bpda
will
work
with
the
city
of
boston
to
seek
special
legislation
from
the
state
legislature
to
exempt
this
project
from
certain
public
procurement
regulations.
M
M
N
Thank
you
ray
thank
you
to
the
board
of
bpda
and
to
director
of
golden
for
this
opportunity
to
present
on
our
proposal
for
parcel
r1.
So,
as
ray
said,
I
am
angie
liu
and
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
asian
community
development
corporation.
N
N
I
would
like
to
introduce
our
team
so
again
the
sponsor
and
developer
would
be
asian
cbc.
We
are
a
non-profit.
We
have.
The
most
recent
project
we
have
developed
is
the
one
greenway
project
on
massdot
owned
site
right
across
the
street
from
parcel
r1.
N
So
all
of
the
team
members
you
see
here
on
the
slides
that
have
the
green,
they
represent
mbes
and
wbes,
and
there
are
also
a
few
that
you
can
see
where
the
print
the
leading
principle
for
the
project
is
a
person
of
color
and
or
woman
just
to
highlight,
because
this
project
takes
place
in
the
heart
of
chinatown.
O
O
It
is
a
tod
centrally
located
urban
site,
very
close
proximity
to
a
lot
of
urban
amenities,
including
transit
health
services,
and,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
photos
on
the
left,
it's
currently
used
as
a
parking
lot.
Actually
one
of
the
last
sites
in
the
neighborhood
of
chinatown
for
such
a
unique
opportunity
and
next
slide.
Please.
O
O
O
This
is
another
view
at
the
hudson
street
frontage
of
the
building
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
placed
the
prominent
corner,
two
story
for
the
boston,
public
library,
chinatown
branch
super
a
very
prominent
visible
location,
including
a
outdoor
reading,
room
with
accessible
route
that
goes
up
to
the
elevated
podium
space
and,
at
the
same
height,
is
the
residential
entrance.
O
We've
included
bike
parking
entrances
to
the
right
side
of
the
frontage
was
the
community
retail
just
in
the
middle,
and
we
hope
that
this
will
be
a
very
inviting
place
where
all
the
residents
will
want
to
congregate
and
enjoy
the
public
realm
next,
and
I
will
briefly
touch
upon
the
ground
floor
second
floor
and
upper
floor
programs
in
the
podium
spaces,
which
consists
of
the
bottom
two
floors.
We
have
the
bpl
space,
that's
about
15,
000
square
feet,
the
ground,
floor,
lobby
entrance
and
the
second
floor.
O
Amenity
space
will
be
designated
for
residential
uses
and
the
peach
color
is
the
community
commercial
space.
Next
on
the
upper
floors,
we
are
including
110
units,
all
of
them
will
be
affordable
and
it's
going
to
be
a
split
between
40,
condos
and
60
rental
and
angie.
I
will
give
it
back
to
you
to
introduce
more
of
our
residential
program.
N
Thank
you.
So,
as
you
can
see
in
response
to
the
resident's
feedback,
we
really
try
to
make
sure
that
there
is
a
variety
of
unit
mixes
from
ones
twos
and
three
bedrooms
and
also
a
good
mix
of
rentals
versus
condos.
This
is
because,
throughout
the
engagement
process,
we
have
her
repeatedly
from
residents
that
not
only
do
they
want
affordable
rentals,
but
they
also
want
the
opportunity
to
become
home
owners
and
without
affordable
homeownership.
It
is
very
difficult
to
achieve
that
in
chinatown.
N
Here
is
a
much
more
detailed
income
mix
just
to
I
know
it's
a
lot
of
numbers,
but
this
is
to
show
you
the
variety
of
income
levels
that
we
have
for
the
mix.
N
Okay,
so
for
the
rentals
you
can
see,
we
have
a
mix
of
very
low
income
and
30
percent
area,
media
income,
automated
80
area
mini
income,
79
of
the
rentals
will
be
at
60
or
below,
and
just
to
give
you
an
idea
for
a
family
of
four.
N
Those
incomes
would
range
from
thirty
six
thousand
dollars
to
about
seventy
two
thousand
dollars
a
year.
Condos
are
half
and
half
at
80
percent
and
a
hundred
percent
area,
meaning
income,
what
we
think
of
as
workforce
or
moderate
income
housing
and
in
terms
of
sale
prices.
Those
would
roughly
translate
to
200
to
350
000
for
those
condos.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
B
I
just
want
to
commend
the
team
for
finding
such
a
diverse
group
of
professionals
to
work
on
this
project.
Your
engineers,
your
builders,
your
interior,.
E
B
It
shows
that
a
project
of
this
size
where
traditionally
people
have
barked
at
the
idea
of
coming
up
with
diverse
teams
that
it's
quite
possible
to
do,
and
I
wish
you
great
success
with
this
project,
because
it
is
the
kind
of
project
it
is
that
we've
wanted
the
library
there
for
a
long
time,
but
also
because
of
who
you've
brought
together
to
make
this
happen.
F
A
Thank
you
any
additional
questions
or
comments,
a
great
presentation,
very
excited
about
this
project
and
and
what
you've,
what
you've
done
so
far.
So
with
that,
I
believe
a
motion
is
an
order.
It's
unmoved.
C
C
A
P
P
As
you
may
recall,
the
board
originally
voted
to
award
nuba
tentative
designation
on
april
15
2021
and
extended
a
tentative
designation
at
the
board
meeting
on
october
13
2021
nuba
is
proposing
to
develop
a
110
000
square
foot
building
which
will
consist
of
114,
affordable
units,
ground
floor
commercial
space
offered
as
a
satellite
campus
for
the
national
center
for
afro-american
artists,
museum
and
live
work
tournaments
for
the
artist
community.
The
total
development
cost
of
this
project
is
approximately
47
million
dollars.
P
P
During
this
request,
tender
designation
extension,
the
developers
will
pursue
article
80
and
zoning
approval,
boston,
landmark
commission
approval,
they
will
negotiate
terms
of
the
deed
and
land
disposition
agreement
and
pursue
additional
sources
of
project
funding.
With
that
being
said,
I
am
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
Q
A
A
Request:
authorization
to
award
tentative
designation
to
the
frederick
douglass
peace
park,
stewardship
committee
and
the
boston
food
forest
coalition,
incorporated
for
the
sale
of
parcels,
x-26b
and
x-26-2
in
the
south
end
urban
renewal
area
project
number
mass
r-56
known
as
the
frederick
douglass
peace
card
and
to
take
all
related
actions.
Jonathan.
P
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair.
I
am
here
today
to
request
that
the
board
adopts
the
resolution
to
give
attentive
designation
to
the
frederick
douglass
peak
park,
peace
park,
stewardship
committee
in
the
boston
food
forest
coalition
for
the
redevelopment
of
the
boston
planning
development
agency's
parcels,
x26b
and
x26
ii.
The
two
bpda
parcels,
I've
just
mentioned,
consists
of
8498
square
feet
of
vacant
land.
P
These
parcels
have
been
a
site
for
community
gatherings
and
gardening.
Since
the
1990s
for
a
decade,
the
bpda
attempted
to
move
these
parcels
through
our
disposition
process
to
no
avail
from
2009
through
2016
the
bpda
granted
temporary
license
agreements
to
a
non-profit
organization
for
community
guarding.
However,
due
to
the
loss
of
community
members,
the
license
ended
in
the
property
fell
into
disrepair
in
2019.
The
bpda
restarted
the
community
process
for
these
parcels
as
the
conditions
of
the
land
presented
safety
concerns
for
the
neighbors
and
no
longer
function.
P
As
a
garden,
we
proposed
the
development
of
a
multi-family
residence,
but
the
community
expressed
concern
regarding
increasing
the
area's
population
density
and
the
loss
of
open
green
space.
A
second
meeting
was
held
in
2020,
where
key
community
stakeholders
requested
time
to
explore
what
resources
and
partnerships
were
available
to
respond
to
an
rfp
for
community
gardening.
The
disposition
process
was
put
on
hold
again
due
to
clove
at
19,
but
started
once
more
in
october
2021,
with
release
of
an
rfp
that
hope
that
was
open
to
proposals
for
gardening
and
residential
development.
P
The
proposal
lays
out
a
two-phase
approach
in
which
phase
one
would
take
place
during
this
tentative
designation.
The
proponents
would
engage
in
the
initial
cleanup
and
beautification
of
the
property.
It
will
conduct
a
year-long
design
process
in
collaboration
with
the
neighbors
and
community
members.
The
proponent
has
received
commitments
up
for
about
twenty
thousand
dollars
from
the
local
community
development
corporation
in
the
mandela
house,
which
may
become
a
record
recurring
source
of
operation
funding.
P
However,
to
increase
their
funds
for
this
project,
the
proponents
will
seek
out
additional
funding
during
phase
one
from
sources
such
as
the
community
preservation
act
and
grassroots
funds.
In
phase
two
of
this
development.
After
final
designation,
the
proponents
will
begin
the
final
improvement
construction.
P
The
stewardship
committee
is
committed
to
conducting
outreach
to
minority-owned
contractors
and
engaging
neighborhood
residents
and
youth
for
the
development
of
the
garden
and
to
provide
educational
opportunities
in
the
field
of
gardening.
Based
on
the
afferent
mission,
wpda
recommends
that
the
bra
award,
the
frederick
douglass
peace
park,
stewardship
committee
and
the
boston
food
forest
coalition,
tentative
designation.
P
B
Could
you
describe
the
exact
location
of
these
parcels
other
than
x,
20,
26,
b
and
x,
26
2
and
also
could
the
proponents
here
say
just
a
little
bit
about
their
organizations.
S
Can
muted
hear
me
no,
my
my
my
computer.
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
okay,
awesome,
yes,
so
initially,
I
think
it
was
designated
when
we
first
did
the
construction
of
the
peace
park
in
the
90s.
I
think
it
was
like
one
thousand
tremont
street,
so
it's
directly
behind
good
eats
pizza.
S
It
is
also
on
cabbage
street,
which
used
to
go
across
melania,
cass
boulevard
and
where
slades
is
so,
you
can't
exactly
see
it
off
the
sheets
off
of
the
location
that,
when
we
had
to
leave
the
neighborhood
due
to
gentrification,
will
be
the
location
of
the
the
frederick
douglass
bust.
S
That
would
be
going
up
and
I
think
at
the
bus
stop
it's
a
corner
of
tremont
and
hammond
street.
So
it's
right
there
in
that
location
and
I'm
just
really
excited
one.
You
know
just
kind
of
on
a
personal
level.
We
lived
there
and
did
a
lot
of
the
organizing
work
and
next
to
the.
S
S
We
do
have
a
really
cool
partnership,
which
I
think
will
both
expand
and
shift
over
time.
But
right
now
it's
madison
park
development
corporation.
It
is
also
mandela
house,
in
addition
to
several
residents
who
are
activists
in
the
neighborhood-
and
it
also
includes
ace,
which
is
alternatives
for
community
environment
in
dubli,
so
excited
about
what
we
imagined
before,
which
was
a
real,
robust
partnership
with
organization
committed
to
community
in
general.
So
you
don't
just
have
because
my
thing
is
sustainability
like
over
time.
S
We
want
it
to
be
sustainable
and
then,
when
we
met
orion
from
the
food
forest,
we
were
like.
This
is
like
the
perfect
relationship
and
partnership
in
order
to
really
create
what
we
see
as
something
that
builds
the
stewardship
of
of
the
land
and
also
like
many
people,
don't
even
know
it's
the
frederick,
douglass
historic
district.
S
So
to
not
just
have
the
the
bust,
the
the
sculpture
that
will
be
put
up,
but
also
have
a
very
vibrant
community
space
I
think,
is
essentially
important
to
community
vibrancy
and
and
definitely
looking
forward
to
partnerships
with
the
city
in
whatever
way
that
that
can
happen.
But
just
it's
just
very
exciting
for
me.
So
yeah
I'm
excited.
B
S
S
In
addition
to
eventually
developing
our
own
ways
of
you
know,
raising
funds-
I
don't
know
through
events
and
activities,
but
yes,
it's
definitely
a
great
thing
and
mandela
is,
you
know,
is
I'm
glad
that
they're
a
part
of
it
we're
still
trying
to
get
roxy
homes,
but
we
definitely
have
a
good
partnership
set
up
so.
A
Really
great
really
great
way
to
see
you
know
the
use
of
these
parcels
and
and
being
stewarded
so
so
greatly
by
by
the
community.
A
All
right
a
motion
is
in
order
so
moved
second
roll
call
for
a
vote.
Miss
downs
hi
mr
monahan,
dr
landsmark
aye,
mr
miller
hi,
and
the
chair
votes
I
mentioned
passes.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you,
madam
chair
director,
golden
madame
secretary
and
members
of
the
board
union
street
park
owned
by
the
bpda
is
across
from
the
congo
street
entrance
to
city
hall,
I'm
sure
everyone's
familiar
with
it.
It
contains
both
the
mayor,
curley
and
the
new
england
holocaust
memorials
since
march
31
1995,
the
combined
jewish
philanthropies
of
greater
boston
and
its
predecessor
organization.
The
new
england
holocaust
memorial
committee
have
maintained
this
park
on
june
23
1988
the
bpda
voted
to
transfer
union
street
park
to
the
parks
department.
M
This
transfer
was
not
completed
at
that
time
because
the
bpda
agreed
to
assist
the
public
works
department
with
planning
and
construction
associated
with
the
proximate
connect,
historic
boston
project,
which
was
starting
at
that
time.
At
the
august,
14
2014
bpda
board
the
bpda
approved
a
new
license
maintenance
and
indemnification
agreement
among
the
bpda
parks
and
cjp,
which
serves
as
a
permanent
agreement
concerning
the
maintenance
of
maintenance
of
the
park
and
the
memorials.
M
This
limi
states
that
the
bpda
will
be
the
license
store
until
this
park
is
conveyed
to
the
parks
department.
Once
this
conveyance
occurs,
the
bpda
will
no
longer
be
a
party
to
the
lmi,
and
the
parks
department
will
assume
the
role
as
licensor,
because
connect
historic
boston
was
substantially
completed
in
october
of
2021
staff
is
now
moving
forward
to
complete
this
conveyance
to
parks.
M
To
this
end,
vpda
commissioned
a
survey
of
union
street
park
and,
after
reviewing
the
draft
survey
parks
requested
that
certain
sliver
edges.
You
can
see
shown
in
red
on
this
aerial
that
these
certain
sliver
edges
of
the
survey
area
be
absorbed
into
the
public
right-of-way
to
be
the
responsibility
of
dpw,
because
these
slivers
contain
a
light
post,
utility
box
and
slivers
of
the
sidewalk
things
of
that
nature.
M
Allowing
these
slivers
to
become
part
of
the
public
right-of-way
requires
an
action
through
the
public
improvement
commission.
Therefore,
the
purpose
of
today's
board
action
is
to
allow
the
bpda
to
petition
the
pic
to
widen
and
relocate
the
public
ways
surrounding
union
street
park
and
to
include
these
slivers
so
that
the
deed
to
parks
does
not
include
them.
This
action
is
expected
to
be
on
the
new
business
agenda
of
the
pic
meeting
on
april
28th
of
2022.
A
Okay,
pretty
straightforward
here
and
saying.
None
motion
is
an
order.
A
Okay,
doctor.

U
V
Thank
you,
hello,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
cohenis
and
director
golden.
I
am
chris
breen,
the
our
journal
manager.
I
just
have
a
short
presentation
here
just
to
give
you
some
updates,
I'm
here,
to
provide
updates
regarding
the
status
of
urban
low
and
to
recommend
a
plan
for
the
adoption
of
a
minor
modification
extending
the
terms
of
12
of
14
herbarium
plants,
currently,
all
of
which
are
set
to
expire
on
april
22nd
2022,
which
is
next
week
next
slide.
V
As
you
may
recall,
from
the
march
10
2022
board
last
month,
the
beat
at
the
bpda
board
hearing
apda
staff
originally
presented
a
proposal
to
sunset
five
urban
renault
plans
and
to
extend
the
remaining
nine
until
the
end
of
this
calendar
year.
As
seen
in
this
map,
the
blue
areas
were
the
ones
recommended
to
potentially
expire
and
the
orange
areas
were
the
ones
recommended
to
extend
up
until
december
31st
of
this
year.
V
The
the
current
proposal
today,
however,
we
have
modified
that
the
original
we
have
modified
that
original
proposal
and
now
have
a
new
more
current
proposal
before
you,
you
will
see
a
request
of
the
sun
setting
or
the
termination
of
two
urban
renal
plant
areas.
Those
two
areas
are
now
just
boylston,
essex
and
school
franklin.
So
previously
we
had
recommended
five
hormonal
areas.
V
Now
we're
only
recommending
two
urban
rental
areas
seen
in
blue
wells
in
essex
and
school
franklin
all
other
areas,
all
other
12
areas
will
be
extended
or
we
are
requesting
to
extend
until
march
31st
2023,
roughly
11
months
from
today.
V
Staff
are
recommending
this
extension
after
participating
in
the
march
22nd
2022
city
council
hearings
regarding
urban
renault.
The
outcome
of
this
hearing
was
that
the
council,
after
some
deliberation,
unanimously,
voted
to
support
the
extension
of
these
twelve
arboreal
areas
up
until
march
31st
2023
of
next
year,
while
allowing
for
the
sun
setting
of
the
two
previously
mentioned
plans
next
week
april
22nd
of
2022.
V
This
recommendation
was
also
supported
by
the
mayor's
office.
The
council
and
the
mayor's
office
felt
strongly
that
additional
time
was
needed
to
discuss
and
to
determine
the
appropriate
timeline
for
sun
setting
of
the
remaining
12
plans
and
to
further
consider
a
plan
that
continued
the
protections
provided
in
lda's,
most
notably
land
use
restrictions
such
as
affordable
housing,
elderly
housing,
community
cultural
uses
and
open
space
that
are
prominent
in
these
larger
12
plants.
V
V
The
first
thing
we
looked
at
in
these
two
areas
was
the
number
of
herbal
related
actions
that
have
been
taken
since
2016
our
last
extension.
We
did
this
to
determine
if
this
was
an
active
urban
renault
area
or
not.
The
second
thing
we
looked
at,
we
looked
at
the
planning
context
of
each
neighborhood.
We
asked
if
we
would
need
to
use
urban
rental
urban
renewal
tools
in
the
near
future
for
an
upcoming
project
or
something
that's
in
process
at
the
time.
V
V
V
V
We
had
taken
only
one
action
in
the
last
six
years
and
will
be
second
action
today,
and
we
had
informed
the
community
of
our
recommendation
to
sunset
this
with
minimal
feedback
from
the
community
on
minimal
pushback.
I
should
say
for
that
recommendation
next
slide.
V
We
are
recommending
to
sunset
what
is
known
as
central
business
district
school
franklin,
notable
urban
renewal
projects
in
this
area
include
the
rehabilitation
of
old
city
hall,
but
you
might
also
know
it
for
things
such
as
the
irish
famine,
memorial
33
arch
street,
which
consists
of
tj
maxx
and
home
goods
in
the
downtown
square
in
the
downtown
square
area.
V
All
of
these
ldas
prom
predominantly
enforce
the
current
commercial
and
office
space
uses
that
are
on
site
maintenance
agreements
and
leases
enforce
the
other
two
parcels
that
we
continue
to
have
ownership
stakes
in.
As
you
know,
the
previously
mentioned
bold
city
hall
and
the
irish
family
memorial
next
slide.
V
In
this
area,
the
bpda
owns
two
parcels
of
the
previously
stated
ones.
We
have
two
lda
restrictions
covering
four
assessing
ids
we've
taken
two
actions
in
the
last
six
years.
This
would
be
a
third
and
the
community
feedback.
They
did
not
necessarily
express
a
strong
preference
to
either
sunset
or
renew
this
area.
V
It
is.
It
has
been
our
in
our
evaluation
that
the
goals
and
objectives
of
school
franklin
have
been
successfully
met
next
slide
and
basically,
there
are
12
additional
plans.
We
are
asking
for
an
extension
for
today
over
the
next
year,
we
hope
to
meet
with
the
boston
city
council
and
regularly
update
the
board
in
regards
to
the
review
and
any
possible
termination
or
extension
of
each
plan
by
march
31st
of
2023.
V
Thank
you
and
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
as
many
questions
as
I
can.
A
Thank
you,
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
B
This
could
potentially
be
a
rather
complicated
process
and-
and
I
wouldn't
expect
you
at
this
moment
to
answer
all
these
questions,
but
I'm
curious
about
a
couple
of
things
in
the
essex
parcel.
B
V
I
don't
believe
it
would
have
any
effect.
China,
trade
is
actually
a
park,
plaza
herb
or
no
plant
area,
it's
engulfed
in
that
plant
area,
and
that
is
one
of
the
areas
that.
V
B
When
we
sunset
these
plans,
what
tends
to
happen
next
in
these
neighborhoods,
the
market
forces
just
take
over
and
the
lifting
of
restrictions
create
a
a
kind
of
market
free-for-all.
V
I
suppose
it
would
depend
on
the
size
of
the
plant
and
the
certain
restrictions
that
we
are
losing.
I
think
in
these
two
specific
central
business
district
areas,
basically
downtown
commercial
office-based
uses
underlining
zoning
still
exists.
I
don't
think
you're
losing
too
much
now
it
gets
more
complicated
as
you
get
into
larger
areas.
Roxbury
south
end
charlestown
fenway,
where
you
have
really
important
restrictions
like
elderly
housing,
income,
restricted
housing,
open
space,
that's
important
to
people,
community
cultural
uses
on
first
floors
that
are
important
to
people
and
so
over
the
next
year.
V
We're
really
going
to
dig
into
those
those
other
areas
that
that
may
have
significant
consequences
to
lose
and
make
sure
that
we
sit
down
with
the
mayor
and
sit
down
with
each
individual
district
city
councilor
to
explain
to
them
what
exactly
they
may
lose.
Should
urban
renal
sunset
in
that
particular
area,
but
it
has
been
our
determination
for
quite
some
time
that
these
two
areas
downtown
areas
mostly
office
spaces
and
stuff,
like
that
you're
not
losing
anything
that
would
be
like
an
affordable
housing
or
no
one
would
be.
B
You
use
the
term
dig
into
in
terms
of
what
the
next
process
would
be
and
made
reference
to
meetings
with
the
city
councillors
and
the
mayor
would
that
digging
in
process
also
include
some
form
of
community
activation
community
meetings
and
the
like
I
mean
we'll.
Will
residents
and
local
businesses
have
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
on
whether
they
want
these
kinds
of
restrictions
and
what
the
restrictions
might
be.
V
I
would
imagine
I
would
imagine
we
did
have
20
community
meetings
over
the
last
two
years
during
covet.
V
I
would
imagine
if
any
major
determination
to
remain
for
these
larger
ones,
especially
these
ones,
would
affect
people's
day-to-day
lives
with
residential,
a
lot
of
residential
housing
that
I
would
be
more
than
willing
to
if,
if
a
determination
came
or
from
the
city
council
for
the
mayor's
office
or
from
us
that,
I
would
like
to
convey
that
to
the
residents
prior
to
any
sort
of
board
action
or
dhcd
action,
because
I
feel
like
they
deserve
the
right
to
know
what
they
are
losing
as
well.
Potentially.
B
A
Yeah,
just
to
kind
of
pick
you
off
of
of
that,
I
think
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
and
for
the
you
know,
the
slides
and
the
framework
on
kind
of
how
you
evaluated
each
each
area.
So
I
think
that's
again
really
important
for
us
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
find
that
consistent
framework
and
then
you
know
evaluate
each
area.
A
In
the
same
way,
I
would
like
to
see
you
know
some
additional
and
I
know
you
know
we
only
see
a
couple
of
the
slides
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
you
guys
do
behind
the
scenes,
but
of
to
be
clear
on
you
know
what,
if
any,
restrictions
that
anything
that
we'd
be
losing
you
know
again
the
pros
and
the
cons
type
of
setup.
A
Just
you
know
to
be
clear
on
to
all
parties
right
what
what
the
impacts
of
of
the
sun
setting
are,
and
so
everybody
kind
of
makes
a
an
informed
decision,
and
then
we
are
clear
and
transparent
about
our
our
rationale.
For
that.
So
I
know
that
that
work
is
all
there.
We
definitely,
you
know,
saw
some
of
that
come
through
and
these
presentations.
V
Yeah
we
definitely
have.
We
definitely
have
that
work
for
the
other
12..
What
we're
working
on
right
now
is
trying
to
make
it
consumable.
It
can
be
a
little
dense
unless
you're
like
living
this
every
day.
V
I've
been
for
three
and
a
half
years,
but
other
people
have
for
decades
right
and
just
trying
to
help
people
understand
what
is
potentially
lost
can
be
difficult,
but
that's
something
we're
trying
to
really
simplify
the
data
so
that
a
city,
councilor
or
resident
can
look
at
it
and
understand
it
a
little
bit
better
for
these
two
right
here,
they're
the
simplest
ones,
very
small
amount
of
ldas
downtown
office
space
areas.
You
know
the
restriction
of
losing
office
spaces
and
it's
downtown.
V
You
know
it
would
likely
remain
office,
space
or
commercial
uses
below
because
of
the
zoning,
so
I
don't
know
but
for
the
larger
areas.
Yes,
absolutely
we
will
do
everything
we
can
to
make
sure
everyone
is
aware
of
the
risks.
Should
we
lose
any
of
those
12
areas
next
year.
B
If
I,
I
might
just
add
a
point,
I
think
there's
a
tendency
for
folks
in
in
the
public
to
look
upon
urban
redevelopment
and
urban
renewal
as
a
vestige
of
some
bad
planning
initiatives
that
go
back
to
the
50s
and
60s.
But
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
there
are
cities
and
towns
across
the
commonwealth
that
are
looking
to
this
statute
to
create
new
ones
now,
precisely
because
they
want
the
kinds
of
restrictions
around
open
space
or
affordable
housing
or
or
senior
housing
that
they
can't
get
in
a
purely
market-driven
economy.
B
V
Yeah
100,
you
know,
we
know
the
the
bag
is
just
that's
often
our
renewal
is
settled
with,
but
when
you
go
through
some
of
what
was
created,
it's
a
lot
of
income,
restricted
housing,
a
lot
elderly
housing.
It's
a
lot
of
things
that
folks
in
the
neighborhoods
asked
for
throughout
the
60s
and
70s,
and
hopefully
by
showing
folks
those
things
that
did
were
created
by
this
agency.

Thank
you,
madam
chair
and
members
of
the
board.
The
crescent
parcel
located
at
the
corner
of
melnia,
cass
boulevard
and
tremont
street
is
an
approximately
72
905
square
foot
site,
comprised
of
eight
parcels
of
vacant
land,
two
owned
by
the
bpda
three
owned
by
mass
dot
and
three
owned
by
the
city
of
boston
in
january
2021.
After
an
extensive
community
process
through
the
planned
nubian
square
planning
effort,
the
bpda
released
a
request
for
proposals
for
the
redevelopment
of
the
crescent
parcel.
In
april
2021.
X
The
bpda
received
three
proposals
in
response
to
the
rfp
and
following
a
robust
public
evaluation
process,
the
bpda
board
voted
to
designate
drexel
village
llc
for
the
development
of
the
crescent
parcel
drexel
village
llc
is
an
affiliate
of
the
planning
office
of
urban
affairs
and
j
garland
enterprises.
They
are
proposing
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
service
agencies,
currently
located
on
the
crescent
parcel
and
parish
space
for
the
saint
catherine
drexel
church.
X
All
eight
parcels
will
require
a
minor
modification
of
both
plans
to
allow
institutional
uses,
community
uses
and
open
space
uses.
Section
1201
of
the
plans
provides
that
minor
modifications
may
be
made
at
any
time
by
the
vra
when
such
modifications
do
not
substantially
or
materially
alter
or
change
the
plan.
It
is
the
general
counsel's
opinion
that
the
proposed
modifications
are
minor
and
meet
this
criteria.

C

And
the
chairpers
eye
motion
passes.

The
proposed
project
consists
of
the
demolition
of
the
existing
structures
occupying
the
project
site
and
the
construction
of
it
up
to
a
six-story
mixed-use
development
that
will
include
approximately
162
296
feet
of
gross
floor
area
with
81
parking
spaces,
170
bike
parking
spaces,
50,
50,
800
square
feet
of
open
space
and
ground
floor
retail.
The
project
will
include
170
units
and
the
proponent
has
committed
to
24
inclusionary
development
policy
units.
AA
AB
Thank
you
caitlyn
good
evening
good
evening
and
thank
you
church
rojas,
secretary
polimes
and
membership
board.
My
name
is
andre
guzman
and
I
am
a
neighborhood
planner
covering
east
boston.
AB
If
we
could,
please
go
to
the
next
slide
and
to
the
next
one.
Thank
you.
The
proposal
is
located
in
what
planning
sponsor
refers
to
as
a
neighborhood
square.
The
planning
team
delivered
draft
recommendations
for
all
squares
and
corridors
in
may
of
last
year
in
additional
to,
in
addition
to
transformational
public
realm
improvements,
the
plan
envisioned
active
ground
floor
uses,
supported
by
added
height
and
density
in
all
squares,
particularly
on
sites
close
to
transit
service.
AB
AB
This
proposal
is
lined
with
planning's
boston's
vision
for
day
square
delivering
active
ground
floor,
uses
expanded
public
realm
and
enabling
critical
connections
to
the
marielle
and
welch
greenway
and
the
proposed
so3
transit
way.
I
will
now
turn
the
presentation
over
to
the
proponent
team
to
present
the
project
in
more
detail.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
AC
Thanks
angel
and
caitlin
good
evening,
everyone
board
members
we're
happy
to
be
back
tonight,
as
angel
mentioned.
AC
AC
One
more
sorry
there
you
go
as
an
overview.
This
proposal
includes
the
creation
of
170
residential
units
for
rent.
AC
We
also
estimate
that
this
development
would
generate
somewhere
between
300
to
400
construction
jobs
and
about
15
to
45
permanent
jobs
and
that's
through
on-site
property
management
and
and
the
new
retail
space,
and
importantly
also
as
as
an
mentioned,
this
proposal
reflects
a
significant
amount
of
coordination
with
plan
east
boston,
including
that
we're
proposing
to
construct
on
private
property
a
new
transit
way
for
the
future
silver
line
to
come
into
bay
square
as
envisioned
by
plenties
and
and
the
transportation
equity
benefits
associated
with
enabling
this
work
could
be
very
impactful
in
this
community.
AC
We're
proposing
a
new
pedestrian
and
bike
connection
from
the
maryland
welch
greenway
to
day
square
we're
also
proposing
a
new
streetscape
and
a
dedicated
bike
lane
along
bennington
and
bremen
streets
and
we're
committing
to
a
blue
bike
sponsorship
and
providing
204
total
bike
spaces
for
residents
and
visitors
for
the
public.
AC
AC
This
slide
is
summarizing
our
outreach
to
date
listing
most
most
of
the
meetings
that
we've
had
since
january.
2020
we've
had
extensive
meetings
with
the
city
with
massport
community
members,
elected
officials
abutters.
You
know,
we've
maintained
close
conversations
with
excel
academy
and
javales
across
history.
AC
We
also
met
with
three
neighborhood
associations,
two
of
them
harborview
and
maverick
central.
We
met
with
for
informational
purposes
because
we
were
close
to
their
jurisdiction
and
we
met
with
the
eagle
hill
civic
association,
from
which
we
received
a
support
vote
in
november
and
overall,
we've
received
a
significant
amount
of
positive
support.
Letters
and
support
comments
today
next
slide.
AC
This
is
a
site
ariel
for
context.
You
can
see
the
355
bennington
site
colored
in
yellow
it's
really
at
the
heart
of
bay
square.
It's
it's
right
next
to
excel
academy
and
it
fronts
bennington
and
bremen
streets.
The
bypass
road
runs
along
the
east
and
you
can
also
probably
see
the
wood
island
mbta
station
label
near
the
top
right
of
the
aerial
and
that
station's
about
a
four
minute
walk
from
this
site.
AC
AC
These
are
a
few
photos
to
convey
the
existing
conditions
of
the
site,
it's
currently
being
used
as
a
construction
staging
area,
as
well
as
for
temporary
parking
uses,
and
you
can
really
see
in
the
two
photos
in
the
right
that
the
walk
along
the
site
on
bennington
and
bremen
street.
It's
just
not
very
conducive
for
pedestrians.
It
has
torn
sidewalks
and
the
portion
along
bremen
street,
which
you
can
see
in
the
top
right
photo.
AC
The
dark
dash
line
is
the
site's
property
line
and
you'll
see
this
plan
locates
the
active
users,
which
are
the
retail
and
the
residential
lobby,
and
amenities
towards
bennington
and
bremen
streets
to
help
activate
the
street
level,
and
you
can
see
we're
proposing
a
pocket
park
at
the
corner
of
bennington
and
neptune
road
towards
the
right
of
the
image,
we're
proposing
new
streetscapes
extending
beyond
the
property
line
along
bennington
and
bremen
streets,
and
this
includes
new
sidewalks
street
trees,
lighting
outdoor
seating
areas
and
and
the
dedicated
bike
path
that
I
mentioned
earlier,
and
I
want
to
add
that
this
proposal,
as
I
mentioned
it,
aligns
with
the
current
recommendations
from
planning
for
improvements
in
this
specific
area.
AC
But
the
plan
ease
initiative
is
really
targeting
a
broader,
comprehensive
plan
and
they're
continuing
to
study
they
square,
and
we
understand
that
they
would
be
proposing
further
improvements
beyond
the
extents
of
what's
being
shown
here.
But
our
proposal
represents
what
could
be
the
first
step
of
implementation
of
that
plan.
AC
Also,
the
the
building
would
have
a
partial
below
grade
parking
garage
for
residents,
which
would
be
accessed
through
the
road
between
excel
academy
and
this
site
to
avoid
entering
and
exiting
off
of
bennington
or
bremen
streets.
AC
And
lastly,
between
excel
academy,
and
this
fight
is
where
we're
proposing
two
important
things.
One
is
the
the
new
connection
from
bay
square
to
the
mary
ellen
welch
greenway,
and
the
second
is
the
transit
way
for
the
future
silver
line
to
head
into
bay
square
as
envisioned
by
planes.
AC
So
where,
where
you
see
the
thick
green
line
with
the
arrows.
That's
where
we're
proposing
a
10
foot
wide
path
for
pedestrians
and
cyclists,
followed
by
five
foot
wide
planting
island
buffer
and
to
the
right
of
that
is
a
24
foot,
wide
roadway,
which
is
the
transit
way.
And
it
would
be
designed
to
mbta
standards
to
allow
the
silver
lining
in
the
future
to
come.
Through
there
and
in
two
days
square
next
license.
AC
AC
We
heard
a
need
for
larger
and
affordable
units
to
help
enable
families
to
be
able
to
stay
in
east
boston
and
in
response
we
adjusted
the
unit
mix
to
increase
the
total
two
and
three
bedroom
units
which
at
the
time,
resulted
in
an
overall
unicount
reduction
and
we
increased
the
affordability
percentage
designating
now
15
of
the
overall
in
that
squared
feet
is
affordable,
which
is
about
14
percent
of
total
units
and
of
those
we're
allocating
a
disproportionate
amount
of
the
affordable
square
footage
towards
the
larger
units.
AC
So
the
next
few
sides
are
rendered
perspectives.
This
is
a
view
standing
on
bremen
street
next
to
excel
academy.
You
can
see
that
you
can
see
excel
on
the
right
there
and
you
can
start
to
see
the
wide
end
in
overall
improved
pedestrian
friendly
sidewalks.
You
know,
especially
compared
to
what's
there
today
looks
fine.
AC
This
view
is
from
bennington
street.
You
can
see
the
proposed
pocket
park
on
the
left,
as
well
as
the
dedicated
bike
frame
next
slide.
This
is
a
view
from
group
1a
next
slide.
AC
And
lastly,
this
is
a
view
from
day.
Square
gym
at
alice
is
to
the
left,
and
in
this
slide
you
can
really
see
the
potential
to
activate
and
start
to
transform
the
ground
level,
and
you
can
get
a
glimpse
of
the
connector
to
the
greenway
on
the
right
there,
and
that
is
our
presentation
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
elizabeth
all
right
so
since
this
is
a
public
hearing,
we'll
hold
on
board
comments
and
questions
until
after
the
public
hearing,
so
let's
take
secretary
cole
hemis.
Do
we
have
anybody
who
would
like
to
testify.
U
I
had
testified
last
month,
but
luckily
I
was
able
to
attend
again
tonight,
but
just
in
case
I
will
submit
the
my
comments
via
email
as
well
in
case
there's
any
more
issues.
So
again,
my
name
is
juan
ramos
and
I'm
an
east
boston,
homeowner
living
within
a
10-minute
walk
from
this
proposal,
and
I
enthusiastically
support
this
project.

Hi
good
evening,
my
name
is
matilda
herrera.
I
am

area.
I
am
here
to
testify
in
a
discussion
to
the
project.
I
like
the
idea
of
the
green
space,
the
proposal
for
the
renovations
or
changes
to
the
sidewalk
for
pedestrians,
especially
for
the
excel
charter
students.
However,
I
cannot
imagine
170
more
units
being
placed
within
the
area.
W
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
second,
madam
secretary,
director
golden
gary
walker,
electricians
and
technicians,
local
103,
like
to
speak
in
front
support
and
to
also
thank
redgate
for
the
continued
support
of
our
members.
Thank
you.
AE
Hi,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
again.
I
did
speak
and
submitted
a
letter
last
time
just
to
get
back
on.
The
record
wanted
to
speak
in
full,
enthusiastic
support
of
the
project.
I
think
the
the
green
space
landscape
is
fantastic.
The
bike
lane
will
further
support
kind
of
bicycle
infrastructure
throughout
the
city.
I
am
a
stakeholder
in
the
neighborhood
I
own
several
buildings
along
freeman
street,
as
well
as
base
by
business
out
of
east
boston
and
we'll
be
moving
these
boston
shortly.
AE
So
I'm
always
looking
for
things
that
will
better
the
neighborhood.
This
particular
site
is
really
dangerous
and
an
eyesore
and,
I
think,
will
be
quite
an
impetus
for
some
economic
development
in
the
day
square
area.
The
retail
component
is
fantastic,
the
increased,
affordable
component
and
family
size
units
I
mean
I
I
just.
I
can't
speak
in
more
enthusiastic
support
of
redgate
and
the
proposed
project.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
thoughtful
presentation
and
thanks.
AF
Thank
you,
madam
secretary,
and
then
chair
members
of
the
board
director
golden
miner
perez
representing
hundreds
of
union
carpenters
olympic
work
for
the
city
of
boston.
At
this
moment,
I
want
to
go
on
a
strong
support
of
this
project,
we're
absolutely
in
favor,
and
I
will
remiss
if
I
don't
take
a
moment
to
thank
brian
golden
congratulations
on
the
new
chapter
in
his
life,
brian
you're,
a
really
good
man,
and
we
really
appreciate
all
your
hard
work
for
our
city.
Thank
you.
AG
Okay,
both
of
me
boston,
transportation
department.
The
applicant
has
been
very
wonderful
and
cooperative
in
making
some
adjustments
that
I
requested
and
the
traffic
and
parking
plan
is
excellent,
and
I
want
to
go
on
the
record
in
support
of
it.
AH
I'm
a
lifelong
resident
of
east
boston.
I
presently
live
about
two
blocks
from
this
proposed
development,
I'm
in
strong,
strong
favor
of
this
development,
as
you
heard
previously,
it's
not
only
accommodating
the
mbta,
it's
accommodating
the
people
in
this
area.
It
will
be
accommodating
people
looking
for
affordable
housing.
AH
AH
The
the
neighborhood
should
be
grateful
that
a
developer
is
coming
along.
To
put
you
up
put
up
such
a
beautiful
building
to
accommodate
not
only
the
people
but
the
businesses
in
the
area.
There
are
a
number
of
businesses
just
across
the
street,
they're
going
to
be
profiting
by
this
development
as
well
as
the
city
of
boston,
because
it
appears
that
they're
going
to
be
having
a
huge
increase
in
in
the
tax
revenue.
So
I
think
this
is
a
win
for
everyone.
AH
This
is
an
excellent
project
and
it's
a
beautiful
building.
Thank
you
very
much.
AI
Yeah,
thank
you
and
thanks
to
the
bpda
board
for
hearing
my
testimony,
I
did
email
back
in
march.
I
live
in
the
harbour
view
neighborhood
not
very
far
from
this
site.
I
want
to
express
my
support
for
this
project
and
there
are
a
few
reasons
for
doing
so.
One
the
use
is
the
right
use,
dense,
multi-family
housing
with
affordability
close
to
transit.
I
don't
think
I
need
to
go
further
on
that.
AI
It's
just
good,
sensible
development
number
two
there's
no
displacement.
We
need
to
get
rid
of
that
building.
It
does
not
belong
in
a
square.
The
square
can't
take
its
next
steps
until
we
get
rid
of
unsightly
sites
like
that.
Third
is
the
connection
from
the
welsh
greenway.
AI
I
would
access
the
site
from
the
coming
from
the
northeast
to
have
an
alternate
to
crossing.
I
think
it's
neptune
and
bennington,
which
is
flat
out
dangerous,
is
very
welcome
so
and
it
connects
directly
to
the
transit
stations.
Those
are
three
reasons
I
could
go
on,
but
I
really
like
this
project
and
hope
you
do
as
well.
Thank
you.
R
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
caitlin.
Do
we
have
any
email
testimony
that
needs
to
be
read
in.
AA
I
do
have
a
number
of
email
testimonies
to
read
to
the
record.
The
first
one
is
from
city
councilor
at
large,
erin
murphy.
She
says
dear
brian
golden
I'm
writing
today
in
support
of
the
proposed
development
project
at
355
bennington
street
in
east
boston.
Thank
you,
redgate
real
estate
for
reaching
back
out
to
the
community
for
more
engagement
and
providing
clarifications
to
the
abutters
the
community.
I
appreciate
the
willingness
to
engage
further
and
take
the
adequate
time
for
extensive
outreach.
AA
The
next
letter
is
from
a
mr
chris
reid
at
excel
academy.
Hi,
I'm
chris
reed
and
I
work
at
excel
academy
on
the
facilities
team
and
we're
the
direct
neighbor
at
401.
Bremen
street,
excel
academy
supports
the
plans
for
355
bennington
street.
We
think
that
realistically,
the
property
at
355
bennington
will
be
developed
by
someone
in
the
coming
years,
and
with
that
in
mind,
we
much
prefer
to
have
a
responsible,
communicative
and
responsive
party
leading
the
development
next
door
to
our
campus.
AA
It's
important
to
us
that
the
developer
of
the
site
worked
with
us
to
ensure
student
safety
and
limit
any
disruption
to
school
operations.
Over
the
past
couple
years,
redgate
has
kept
excel
academy,
well
informed
and
consistently
shared
updates
of
their
plans.
They
address
our
concerns
and
have
taken
our
input
into
early
planning
for
construction
management
and
community
benefits
proposals.
We've
become
convinced
that
they
are
responsible
and
genuine
in
their
desire
to
work
with
excel
academy
throughout
construction
and
occupancy
of
their
proposed
building.
AA
Lastly,
the
improvements
to
the
sidewalk
along
bennington
and
improved
crossings
will
be
a
positive
for
a
student
and
say
and
staff
safety
and
commuting
to
school,
not
to
mention
a
positive
overall
appearance
for
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you
for
hearing
from
excel.
AA
The
next
letter
I
have
is
from
wayne
javeli
who's
an
impact
advisory
group
member
dear
madam
secretary
and
board
members.
Thank
you
for
hosting
the
final
public
forum
regarding
the
355
bennington
project,
regretfully
I'll
be
on
a
flight.
When
you
convene
for
tonight's
session,
I
respectfully
ask
that
my
comments
be
read
into
the
public
record
for
this
evening
on
behalf
of
trevelli's
restaurant
and
the
jiveli
family.
We
strongly
support
the
355
beddington
project
and
we
have
a
complete
confidence
in
redgate's
ability
to
execute
a
world-class
building.
I'd
like
to
make
a
few
comments.
AA
Our
family
has
owned
and
operated
javeli's
restaurant
and
his
current
location
in
day
square.
For
over
98
years,
my
great-grandfather
established
javeli's
in
1924
during
prohibition
and
our
first
customers
often
arrived
by
her
strong
carriage,
a
ford
model
t
or
the
train
that
went
through
straight
through
day
square.
In
those
days,
generations
of
my
family
have
grown
up
and
gone
to
school,
owned
real
estate
and
thrived
in
east
boston.
AA
AA
Staff
and
residents
have
looked
at
that
site
for
several
decades.
Arguably
no
other
business
or
residents
in
day
square
will
be
affected
more
by
the
355
bennington
project
than
our
family
business
and
tenants.
With
that
said,
the
javeli
family
gives
our
complete
and
unserved
support
for
this
project.
Why
do
we
support
it
so
much?
The
current
site
condition
is
an
eyesore
for
our
neighborhood
for
many
visitors
in
today's
square
and
I'll
move
on
to
the
next
one.
Since
I
know
time
is
running
out,
the
next
email
is
from
mr
edward
devoe.
AA
AA
This
project
will
enhance
the
area
leading
to
day
square,
which
is
a
prominent
shopping
and
commercial
district
in
east
boston,
that
is
in
desperate
need
of
enhancement
and
redevelopment
as
a
lifelong
east,
boston
resident
and
former
member
of
the
boston
zoning
board
of
appeal.
I
believe
that
this
development
is
an
appropriate
use
for
the
site
which
is
currently
abandoned,
blighted
and
had
previously
been
used
as
an
airport
related
use.
It's
important
that
current
and
former
airport
related
users
are
relegated
to
massport's
property
and
out
of
the
neighborhood
street
as
best
as
possible.
AA
AA
The
next
letter
I
have
is
from
mr
leonard
gadino.
He
said
this
project
would
be
a
win
for
east
boston.
That
particular
area
is
in
need
of
vital
renovation.
The
project
would
buffer
the
traffic
from
route
1
and
make
the
neighborhood
less
noisy.
It
would
also
bring
more
opportunity
for
affordable
housing.
AA
The
next
letter
I
have
is
from
martha
luongo
good
evening.
I
live
within
a
few
blocks
of
the
proposed
project
on
355
bennington
street
in
east
boston.
I'd
like
to
give
my
approval
of
this
project
because
I
feel
east
boston
needs
more
affordable.
Housing
boston
is
one
of
the
most
expensive
housing
markets
in
the
country.
Also,
the
development
would
bring
new
retail
opportunities
to
the
area.
AA
I
have
a
another
email
from
a
miss
donna
flynn
good
evening.
My
name
is
donna
flynn.
I
live
in
east
boston
not
far
from
the
355
bennington
street
project.
I
support
this
project
because
development
will
replace
abandoned
property
with
housing
and
new
retail
that
will
liven
up
the
square
and
provide
new
patrons
for
area
businesses.
AA
I
have
another
email
from
a
mr
bradley
flynn

good
evening.
My

flynn

I
live
in

I
support
this
project
because
the
development
world
place
abandoned
property
with
housing
and
new
retail
that
will
liven
up
the
square
and
provide
new
patrons
for
area
businesses

then,
lastly,
I
have
a
an
email
from
jose
pertiglio
hello.
My
name

I'm
a
resident

I
am
in
complete
agreement
with
the
building.
AA
A
Thank
you,
and
so
now
we
can
move
on
to
board
questioning.
So
do
you
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
T
I'm
chair,
I
don't
have
a
question
more
of
a
comment
and
compliment
in
red
gate
on
working
with
the
community
for
one
the
design-
and
this
is
two
in
a
row
in
my
neighborhood
of
south
boston-
is
brian's
they're,
doing
the
l
street
powerhouse
job
and
they
work
with
the
community
there.
The
design
is
might
be
beautiful,
so
compliment
them
on
both.
Thank
you.
B
And
I
just
want
to
echo
what
director
monaghan
has
said,
that
this
is
a
very
sensitive
and
empathetic
developer,
and
what
we're
looking
at
in
this
rendering
is
so
vastly
superior
to.
What's
there
at
this
moment
that
it
just
seems
to
me
it's
almost
a
no-brainer
that
this
is
the
kind
of
work
that
that
we
want
to
see
go
on
in
our
communities.
D
And
I
just
have
a
few
observations.
I
think
it's
a
great
improvement
to
an
important
east
boston
square
and
it
adds
a
significant
number
of
affordable
units
which
we
badly
need,
and
I
appreciate
red
gate
working
with
their
neighbors.
It's
nice
to
hear
all
the
positive
comments
in
the
enthusiasm
around
this
project.
So
thank
you.
A
All
right
I'd
just
like
to
say
that
this
was
again
a
great
presentation,
echo,
my
fellow
board
members
on
their
comments
on
the
you
know,
the
quality
and
the
upgrade
that
this
this
area
is
going
to
be
getting
through
this
project
and
also
thank
you
for
demonstrating
for
for
us,
through
this
project,
the
collaboration
between
our
planning
and
development
teams
to
be
able
to
connect
the
work
that
we
do
in
planning
to.
A
You
know
the
individual
projects
that
we
that
are
presented
so
that
really
helps
to
just
you
know
again.
Have
us
this
be
a
no-brainer
for
us,
but
answer
those
you
know
important
questions
of
you
know:
does
this
project
make
sense
for
this
area?
Can
we
handle
it
from
an
infrastructure,
transportation
perspective
and
just
the
whole
presentation
in
the
beginning?
You
know
helped
to
kind
of
tie
that
all
together
for
us,
so
thank
you
angel
and
caitlyn
for
for
coordinating
that.

context,

hanley
the
project
attorney
and
eric
robinson.
The
project
architect
will
present
the
project
proposal
once
the
presentation
is
complete,
we'll
answer
any
questions
put
forward
by
the

AL
Thank
you
steven
next
slide.
Thank
you
good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
director
golden
give
me
a
quick
minute
to
echo
the
sentiment
of
many
of
my
colleagues
before
me,
and
just
say.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
director
golden
for
his
leadership,
an
entire
in
my
entire
time
here
at
the
bpda
and
for
your
friendship,
much
appreciated
and
best
of
luck
in
your
new
endeavors
202
west
first
street
to
quickly
go
over
the
planning
context.
AL
Of
course,
we,
while
staff
reviewed
this,
we
looked
at
citywide
plans,
neighborhood
context,
the
current
zoning
code,
as
well
as
community
feedback,
a
little
more
detail
on
that.
It's
a
transitional
area
in
south
boston,
with
mostly
residential,
existing
residential
to
its
west,
the
boston
convention
and
exhibition
center
to
its
east.
It
is
in
close
proximity
to
the
broadway
t
station.
AL
We
also
considered
other
projects
that
are
either
in
our
currently
in
our
pipeline,
which
there
are
a
few
in
close
proximity,
as
well
as
other
recent
land
sales
and
expectations
on
future
projects
that
are
likely
to
come
before
us
in
this
area.
This
is
also
a
currently
a
local
industrial
zoning
area,
so
r
d,
research
and
development
is
a
compatible
use.
AL
And
lastly,
as
steven
mentioned,
we
had
several
community
meetings
and
I
want
to
echo
stephen's
sentiments
and
say
due
to
the
feedback
from
the
community
and
the
responses
by
the
proponent
that
last
meeting
that
stephen
referenced
on
the
sixth.
There
was
substantial
support
for
this
project,
so
unless
there
are
any
questions
for
me
on
the
planet,
planning.
W
AM
Thank
you
mark
and
thank
you
stephen
good
evening,
madam
chair
secretary,
pohames,
director
gold
and
members
of
the
board.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you
this
evening.
I
am
attorney
joe
hanley.
I
have
the
honor
of
representing
the
local
development
team,
who
is
with
me
jason,
wiseman
and
larry.
Grossman.
AM
Jason
is
also
a
resident
of
south
boston,
and
so
we're
very
excited
to
be
here
to
bring
this
community-based
development
forward.
Also,
with
me
is
eric
robinson
who
is
project
architect.
AM
I
want
to
just
beg
your
patients
for
one
second,
to
also
echo
my
appreciation
for
director
golden
as
a
practitioner,
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
him
over
the
12
years
that
he's
been
with
the
bpda,
and
I
value
his
guidance
and
friendship
and
wish
him
luck
in
his
new
endeavors
as
well.
I
also
want
to
thank
stephen
harvey
and
mark
mcgonagall
for
helping
to
guide
us
through
this
process.
This
is
a
small
boutique
office,
research
and
development
project.
AM
It's
not
large,
but
it's
really
the
first
of
its
kind
in
the
lower
end
of
south
boston.
It's
had
a
lot
of
discussions
about
where
maybe
this
type
of
use
is
appropriate.
AM
But
we'll
need
some
maintenance
to
continue
to
be
successful
and,
finally,
you'll
see
that
we're
making
an
infrastructure
investment
to
the
crosswalks
and
sidewalks
along
west
third
and
b
street,
which
leads
to
flaherty
park
and
isn't
the
safest
condition
right
now.
So
this
is
a
very
specific
tailored
approach
as
a
result
of
a
lot
of
leadership
in
the
lower
end.
South
boston,
who
has
you
know,
dealt
with
what
a
what
is
a
mix
of
industrial
and
residential
next
to
each
other
for
the
site
itself.
AM
As
mark
indicated
and
I'll
ask
eric
to
go
through
the
presentation
after
this,
but
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
want
to
just
take
you
through
the
context
in
the
pink
hash.
You'll
see
our
building,
that
is
the
intersection
of
b
and
west
first
street,
and
so
we
are
on
the
north
side
of
first
street,
which
has
always
been
industrial.
AM
There
were
no
residential
uses
whatsoever
on
this
section
of
first
street
on
the
north
side,
and
the
zoning
reflects
that
we
are
in
a
local
industrial
which,
as
mark
said,
allows
life
sciences
and
research
uses.
There
has
been
really
little
to
no
development
on
this
side
of
first
street
in
the
past
decade
and
so
we're
very
excited
to
bring
an
opportunity
to
revitalize
and
distress
sight
and
to
provide
better.
AM
Please
so
just
to
give
you
some
context
of
what
I'm
talking
about
on
the
upper
right
is
the
existing
site
and
existing
building
was
once
am
ramps
distribution
warehousing
facility
in
the
blue
building
there
you
can
see
that
the
sidewalks
and
the
conditions
there
are
reflective
of
you
know
old
industrial,
this
being
a
maker
section,
we're
looking
to
introduce
a
new
employment
base
at
a
boutique
building
that
will
invest
in
not
just
our
site
but
to
make
better
connections
for
the
residents
of
the
neighborhoods
who
do
have
a
true
live
work
connection.
AM
The
last
thing
I'll
note
is
on
the
left
side
photo
on
the
bottom
left.
That's
the
view
looking
up
b
street,
meaning
looking
up
towards
the
residential
in
the
saint
vincent
neighborhood,
and
so
those
are
the
folks
that
are
really
the
giants
whose
shoulders
we
were
able
to
stand
on
and
work
on
work
with
to
come
up
with.
We
think
a
reasonably
scaled
responsible
development
that
can
be
a
positive
precedent
for
this
new
type
of
economic
growth
and
jobs
in
south
boston.
AM
AN
AN
We
really
see
this
project
as
a
transformational
project
for
this
area,
trying
to
set
forth
a
precedent
of
good
development
and
really
starting
with
the
public
realm
and
as
joe
mentioned,
the
public
realm
as
it
currently
sits.
Today
is
really
kind
of
inhospitable
and
hard
to
maneuver
and
manage
so
we
really
looked
at
a
way
to
create
a
project
that
can
be
a
good
civic
and
citizen
to
this
area.
Next
slide,
please.
AN
So
it
really
did
start
with
the
site
planning
and
the
streetscape
so
as
just
to
orient
c
street
to
the
bottom
west.
First,
to
the
left
hand
side,
you
know,
the
first
move
was
really
to
pull
the
building
back
and
create
walkable
and
real
sidewalks
that
can
be
enhanced
with
some
urban
qualities
that
we
all
appreciate
in
terms
of
landscaping
and
also
areas
of
respite.
So
we
are
increasing
the
current,
approximately
seven
foot
sidewalks
to
north
of
12
and
15
on
west
first
street.
AN
So
what
we're
basically
looking
at
is
a
four-story
building
that
will
be
transitional
as
well
in
its
architecture,
so
the
the
the
toward
the
west
first
stein
up
to
toward
broadway
is
really
the
finer
grain
of
the
south
boston
residential
neighborhood.
So
we
brought
in
a
lower
base
of
brick
quality
material,
to
sort
of
connect
it
to
the
residential
side
of
this
area
and
then
from
the
top
part,
where
we're
transitioning
a
little
bit
more
to
the
larger
buildings
of
the
convention.
AN
Center
and
d
street
and
cypress
street
wanted
to
have
a
little
bit
more
of
an
industrial
feel
and
feel
related
to
the
architecture.
Next
slide,
just
a
quick
section
of
what
we're
proposing.
So
a
lot
of
the
discussion
has
been
around
the
mechanicals
associated
with
this
type
of
building
in
this
edge
condition.
So
we
are
totally
screening
that
all
the
required
mechanical
space
and
really
creating
an
architectural
statement
that
is
consistent
with
the
building
next
slide.
AN
AN
We
want
this
to
really
feel
like
a
lantern
and
a
you
know,
a
future
and
safe
community
here,
as
we've
heard
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
other
projects,
which
is
something
that
has
been
at
the
forefront
of
our
discussions
with
the
community
light
pollution
and
other
things
are
our
large
concerns
and
we're
working
with
the
community
on
making
sure
that
we
take
care
of
the
business
of
the
operations
as
well.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
T
Chair,
I
have
a
question
joe.
It's
a
great
project.
I
love
it.
I
live
like
exactly
one
street
over
right.
Exactly
yes,.
G
E
T
From
the
truck
joe,
you
know
that
the
so
the
is
there
is,
is
there
a
tenant
yet
is
there
or
on
spec.
AM
Yeah,
so
it's
spec
and
that's
one
of
the
things.
If
you
look
at
the
board
memo,
we
worked
on
a
lot
of
conditions
that
we'd
agree
agreed
to
with
the
community
through
the
bpda
process.
To
make
sure
that
who
we
bring
in
is
you
know,
adhering
to
those
standards
as
well,
and
mr
wiseman
who's
in
real
estate
lives
at
14,
west
broadway.
AM
We
intend
to
be
hands-on
throughout
one
of
the
things
we're
limiting
the
use
of
or
the
level
of
research
to
no
more
than
level
two
biosafety
level
two
and
we're
that's
something
that
was
part
of
that
discussion,
or
also
implementing
things
like
window
shades
in
the
evening,
so
that
you
don't
have
light,
impacts,
noise,
attenuation
measures
and
items
like
that
that
you
know
we
think
are-
are
helpful
to
mitigate
impacts.
T
So
you
it
won't
be
empty
long,
there'll
be
somebody
based
on
the
demand
for
the
labs
right
now,
but
ted,
and
I
have
talked
about
this
before
and
yeah.
I
hope
there's
something
that
can
be
done
actually
city-wide
there's
an
opportunity
here.
I
don't
actually
know
anybody
that
works
in
labs
right
growing
up.
Never
did
it
really
wasn't
as
big
of
an
industry.
It
is
today
so
a
lot
of
kids.
They
don't
really
look
at
that
industry.
T
It's
grown
in
leaps
and
bounds,
and
they
just
don't
know
anybody
in
that
industry
there's
an
opportunity
with
a
you
know:
south
boston
academy,
south
austin,
high
school
yeah.
You
know
to
tap
into
that
and
offer
some
experience
there
or
just
just
to
show
them
that
this
is
something
you
can
do.
You
know
I
don't
know
how
to
formally
do
it,
but
there's
an
opportunity
across
the
world.
AM
For
this-
and
I
want
to
thank
thank
you
for
mentioning
that,
mr
monahan-
I
know
you
know
this
neighborhood
well
that
you
hit
the
nail
on
the
head,
and
this
is
something
we
discussed
with
the
neighbors
as
well.
You
know
I
look
at
gillette
right
for
in
south
boston,
gillette
was
a
staple
of
employment
and
created
a
lot
of
wealth
and
opportunity.
Not
just
you
know
all
the
way
up
to
the
top
for
sons
and
daughters
of
south
boston.
Why
can't
we
do
that
with
lab,
so
we're
we're
small.
AM
Mr
wiseman
is
going
to
continue
to
be
an
owner
here,
and
so
we
have
engaged
because
we're
in
the
lower
end,
we've
engaged
with
st
we've.
Looked
at
st
peter
academy.
They
have
an
annual
stem
fair.
Is
there
a
way
we
can
participate
there?
You
mentioned
south
boston
catholic.
That
too
is
is
an
organization
we're
going
to
be
participating
with
and
really
just
to
continue
the
discussion.
AM
There
are
other
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
neighborhood,
the
condom
community
center
in
the
laboratory,
where
they're
doing
math
and
science,
and
we
just
got
to
be
more
creative
and
try
harder
and
I
it
would.
It
would
be
it's
our
intent
that
you
look
back
and
you
say
well,
this
was
the
incubator
that
showed
that
you
know
kids
from
the
neighborhood
can
get
pathways
to
success
in
this
new
career.
T
This
is,
I
mean
this
really
is
the
new
boston,
edison,
boston,
gas,
when
you're
telephone
I
mean
you
know
all
those
jobs,
unfortunately
they're,
just
not
there
anymore
for
people,
but
this
is
an
industry
that
that
generation
can
tap
into
they
just
don't
know
about
it.
Yep.
Thank
you.
AM

Thank
you
additional
questions
or

construction
of
38
condominium
units,
including
8
idp
units
25

AK
My
bad
good
afternoon
and
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
director
golden
my
name,
is
steven
harvey
and
I'm
project
manager
at
the
bpda,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
today.
The
project
I
bring
before
you
today
is
16
gardner
street,
located
in
austin
on
november
24
2020,
the
boston
planning
development
agency
received
a
small
project
review
application
from
the
proponent.
AK
The
proponent
is
proposing
to
raise
two
residential
structures
and
construct
a
new
38
unit,
residential
structure
structure
with
25
below
grade
parking
spaces
and
40
bicycle
parking
spaces.
If
approved,
the
new
structure
would
create
38
condominium
units,
eight
of
those
condominium
units
being
affordable
units,
along
with
the
eight
affordable
condominium
units.
The
proponent
will
also
contribute
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
to
fund
street
improvements
in
the
immediate
vicinity
of
the
project
site
and
10
450
to
city
bike
to
the
city's
bike
share
system.
AK
Furthermore,
in
support
of
boston's
green
building
and
carbon
neutral
gold,
the
proponent
will
design
the
building
to
meet
lead
gold
performance
levels.
I
held
a
virtual
public
meeting
for
the
project
on
february
17
2021.
The
meeting
was
well
attended
and
the
discussion
led
to
the
dynamic
proposal
presented
today.
The
virtual
public
meeting
was
advertised
in
local
paper
and
via
email.
The
comment
period
for
the
project
ended
on
march
4th
2021..
AK
With
that
said,
I
would
like
to
pass
it
over
to
jared
stanley,
the
bpda
planner
for
austin
brighton
in
the
project
in
the
project
after
jared
touches
on
the
planning
context,
jeff
jago,
the
project
attorney
and
travis
blake
project
architect
will
present
the
project
proposal.
Once
the
presentation
is
complete,
we
will
answer
any
questions
put
forward
by
the
board
and
thank
you
once
again.
AO
Steven
good
evening
and
thank
you,
chair
roadhouse,
secretary
of
hemis
and
members
of
the
board,
as
stephen
said,
my
name
is
jared
staley,
I'm
the
neighborhood
planner
covering
austin
brighton.
The
proposed
project
is
not
located
within
the
boundaries
of
a
recent
planning
initiative.
Instead
planning
division,
staff,
myself
and
others
considered
the
neighborhood
context
adopted
citywide
plans,
including
imagine,
boston,
2030
and
go
boston,
2030
the
zoning
code
and
public
feedback
to
review
the
project.
AO
The
project
is
within
a
3f
4000
sub
district
of
the
austin
brighton
neighborhood
zoning
district.
The
project
is
also
near
the
harvard
avenue
in
packard's
corner
t
stations,
while
the
project
will
need
relief
from
the
zoning
board
of
appeals.
It
is
consistent
with
the
size
and
scale
of
the
adjacent
property
and
other
projects
in
this
area
of
austin
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
project
team.

Thank
you.

you,

director
golden
secretary
polemis,
just
to
jeff
drago,
with
drago
and
toscano,
with

Just
to
echo
the
sentiments
of
director
golden,
it
has
been
an
honor
and
a
pleasure
to
work
as
a
developer's
attorney
through
the
years
with
director
golden
under
his
tutelage,
and
I
wish
him
all
the
best
I'm
here
today
on
behalf
of
nora

the
component,
and
I
also
have
travis
blake
to
answer
any
questions
from
susa
design
of
the
architects
on
the
project.

The
project
that
you
see
before
you
and
was
mentioned
is
a
proposal
to
raise
two
dated
structures:
one
building
behind
another
and
to
erect
a
four-story
residential
condominium,
building
with
38
units
and
25
parking
spaces
through
this
lengthy
community
process
and
working
with
both
the
brighton
alston
improvement
association,
the
aca
councilor
braden's
office,
as
well
as
the
bpda.
AP
AP
We
also
have
a
number
of
amenities
spaces
inside
the
building,
an
increased
parking
ratio
and
we're
also
at
as
was
mentioned,
elite
gold
standard.
We
also
have
a
number
of
landscape
design
and
plans
that
we'll
show
you
right
now.
The
existing
layout
of
the
two
buildings
is
primarily
asphalt.
AP
That'll
now
be
restored
by
additional
units,
as
well
as
a
landscape
plan.
Next
slide,
please
again,
this
is
just
for
context.
Map
of
the
bpda.
This
does
fall
in
the
three
f
4000
district,
although
it
is
surrounded,
our
building
would
be
the
only
one
that
is
not
an
mfr
a
multi-family
complex
in
this
area
as
it
stands
now.
Next
slide,
please,
as
you
can
see
where
the
blue
arrow
is,
that
is
those
are
the
two
existing

with
the
hot

You
can
see
the
surrounding
scale
of
the
buildings
and
in
our
building,
all
of
our
parking
is
submerged
underground

then
all
of
our
first

has
our
entry

amenity
space.

you
see
here
just

now
we
would
match
in

next
slide,
please
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
I'm
sorry!
Thank
you.
This
is
the
proposed
site
plan,
so
you
can
see
we
have
landscape
design
around
the
building.
We
also,
as
you
go
up,
have
landscape
inlets,
built
in
on
the
second
floor.
As
you
go
up
to
have
green
space,
a
next
slide,
please,
and
then
we
get
into
our
elevation.
So
this
is
our
front
or
south
elevation.
AP
You
can
see
the
driveway
or
garage
entrance
way
to
the
right
in
the
front
of
the
building
and
some
patios
balconies
on
this
side
of
the
building
as
well.
Next
slide,
please
and
then
again,
this
is
our
left
or
west
side
elevation
of
the
property
next

Please
and
that's
our
north

of
the
property
next

please
and
finally,

the
right
or
east
elevation
of
the
property
next

Please
and
again,
this
is
just
a

rendering.
AP
AP
As
I
had
mentioned,
we've
worked
with
the
community
at
length
on
the
design
of
this
project,
as
well
as
changing
this
over
from
a
rental
to
condominium
project
and
then
that
increase
of
affordability
and
amenities
space
next
slide.
Please-
and
I
believe
this
is
our
final
slide,
just
a
again
a
rendering
of
the
project
from
the
outside,
so
you
can
just
see
sort
of
the
architectural
context
and
we
also
have
travis
on
who
can
go
over
any
of
the
floor
plan
layouts.
If
the
board
has
any
questions.
Thank
you.
A
All
right
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
F
F
Living
in
other
spaces
owned
by
this
proponent,
can
you
talk
about
those
issues
that
were
raised
in
letters
written
to
us.
AP
Yes,
so
I
I
didn't
actually
see
the
the
letters,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
as
the
building
and
it
could
have
been-
maybe
issues
that
had
come
up
years
ago.
AP
AP
AP
F
And
it's
my
understanding
from
the
board
memo
that
the
cost
per
unit
your
building
cost
per
unit
is
around
two
hundred
thousand
dollars,
which
seemed
quite
low
to
me.
Typically
we're
seeing
four
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
cost
per
unit.
So
can
you
talk
about
how
that
is
possible.
F
Q
Yeah,
so
I'm
I'm
not
sure
they
got
that
number
on
them,
but
it
comes
down
to
level
of
finish
for
each
of
the
condos.
So
it's
just
a
matter
of
you
know,
materials
and
and
how
they're
going
to
fit
out
these
units.
But
you
know.

Thank

thank

director
golden.
My
name
is
ted
schwartzberg,
I'm
the
neighborhood
planner
for
charlestown,
I'm
going
to
walk
through
some
high
level
points
about
playing
charlestown
and
it's
relation
to
this
proposal.
This
process
is
an
ongoing
process.
As
you
may
recall,
I
was
before
you
earlier
this
year
for
our
consultant
contract
and
that
work
is
now
underway
in
earnest
with
the
consultant.
AR
Some
of
our
initial
planning
findings
are
that
there
should
be
a
preservation
focus
east
of
rutherford
avenue.
That's
the
area
shaded
here
in
blue.
As
original
peninsula,
there
are
opportunities
for
new
land,
your
new
land
uses
and
new
building
typologies
on
the
other
side
of
rutherford
avenue,
where
it's
currently
predominantly
industrial
land
use,
and
this
was
something
that
was
noted
in
imagine,
boston,
2030
and
that
a
new
grid
of
streets
and
public
open
space
is
needed
in
the
area
to
the
west
of
rutherford
avenue
in
between
rutherford
avenue
and
the
highway
viaduct
next
slide.
Please.
AR
AR
Until
this
planning
process
advances
further.
This
proposal
is
consistent
with
the
existing
zoning
and
is
consistent
with
the
surrounding
context,
all
of
which
are
a
floor
area
ratio
of
two
and
the
project
immediately
to
the
north
of
this
hood
park,
which
was
approved
relatively
recently,
is
that
an
far
of
two,
as
I
mentioned,
as
is
the
underlying
zoning
and
the
height
that
is
proposed,
is
three
feet
taller
than
the
height
maximum
height
limit
in
the
underlying
zoning.
AR
And
then,
most
importantly,
as
you
can
see
at
the
top
of
this
page,
half
pint
way
is
a
new
street.
That
is
part
of
this
nascent
network.
That
was
started
on
hood
park
campus
and
it's
a
minor
detail.
But
it's
one
that
excites
me
that
this
is
the
first
time
we
have
a
project
in
charlestown
that
would
link
a
new
street
on
its
site
to
a
new
street
on
an
adjacent,
privately
owned
site.
AR
So
half
pint
way,
which
has
been
built
by
hood
park,
would
extend
over
that
red
property
line
and
then
connect
out
on
the
bottom
of
the
page
to
bunker
hill
industrial
park
and
the
long-term
vision
that
this
is
one
incremental
step.
As
a
part
of
is
to
build
out
a
whole
new
network
of
public
streets
and
those
will
be
threaded
through
the
armature-
that's
set
up
by
the
building
footprints
that
we're
reviewing
today.
AS
Thank
you,
ted.
Thank
you.
Caitlyn,
I'd
like
to
start
off
by
thanking
the
board,
especially
director
golden
for
all
his
years
of
service.
You
know,
and
we're
happy
to
be
given
the
opportunity
to
present
our
project
here
at
420,
rutherford
avenue.
When
we,
when
we
initially
started
off
thinking
about
this
project,
we
really
wanted
to
create
something
that
was
really
on
neighborhood
scale,
something
that
fit
in
with
charlestown
as
you'll
see.
AS
This
is
you
know
in
an
industrial
park,
an
industrial
area
and
really
needed.
You
know
a
little
bit
of
rejuvenation
and
some
life
brought
into
it.
So
it's
you
know
the
current
zoning.
You
know
we
have
sort
of
a
conditional
use
into
to
build
a
you
know:
99
000
square
foot,
life
science
building
next
life
is,
and
so
as
part
of
this,
so
I
my
name
is:
will
grover
I'm
representing
your
late
field
here
tonight
on
our
team?
AS
We've
got
mbbj
who's,
our
architect
and
landscape,
architect,
vr
plus
a
is
our
mvp
engineer.
Our
structural
engineer
is
actually
sort
of
tomasetti
h
as
our
geotechnical
engineer,
our
civil
engineers
niche
and
that's
sustainable
sustainability.
We
have
wsb
there's
a
little
bit
of
confusion
here
on
the
slide,
but
bear
with
me
next
slide
just
for
some
context,
so
we
purchased
this
site.
It
was
actually
a
portfolio
of
three
different
buildings:
six
bunker
hill,
440
rutherford
avenue
and
then
420
rutherford
avenue,
which
is
what
we're
talking
about
tonight.
AS
We
purchased
these
back
in
june
of
2021.
as
part
of
this
neighborhood
scale
thought
we.
We
really
wanted
to
sort
of
maintain
the
existing
zoning,
so
we
we
actually
are
under
the
2.0
far.
AS
AS
Just
for
some
context,
which
I
think
everyone
knows
420
ruthford
avenue-
is
the
existing
cubesmart
building.
It
sits
directly
south
of
hood
park,
but
sits
right
on
ruthford
avenue
there.
So
as
part
of
our
conversations
with
the
city,
you
know
transportation.
We've
been
very
involved
in
terms
of
coordinating
with
the
rutherford
avenue
improvements
and
making
sure
that
contextually
we
sort
of
fit
in
with
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
but
also
making
and
creating
something.
That's
you
know,
basically,
a
better
use
for
the
site
and
something
that
improves
the
aesthetic
of
the
site
as
well.
AS
We
met
with
the
neighbor,
the
essex
street
neighborhood
committee,
tara,
lally,
charlestown,
high
school
bunker
hill
community
college
and
then
the
charlestown
preservation
society,
at
which
point
we
then
filed
our
p
f
back
in
november,
we
had
our
first
iag
meeting
back
in
december
and
then
the
public
meeting
and
scoping
sessions
were
also
in
december
with
you
know,
a
couple
other
meetings
there
in
between
and
then
our
final
iag
meeting
was
back
in
march
thanks
a
lot,
so
we
can
sort
of
go
through
this
pretty
quickly,
but
some
of
the
community
and
economic
benefits.
AS
AS
So
in
terms
of
site
improvements.
Obviously
the
aesthetic
over
there
currently
is
really
sort
of
very
industrial.
In
terms
of
the
way
it
looks
so
we're
trying
to
improve
that
and
make
it
fit
in
more
with
the
neighborhood,
and
then
we
have
enhanced
sustainability
and
resiliency,
which
we
can
talk
about
sort
of
a
little
bit
later
on
in
the
slides
next
piece.
AS
AS
You
know
the
the
half
pint
way
that
we're
building
through
the
site
really
to
connect
the
rest
of
charlestown
and
hood
park,
we're
also
creating
this
open
recreation
space
for
pedestrians
to
both
pass
through
as
well
as
congregate,
and
then
again
the
landscaping
to
beautify
the
neighborhood.
AS
This
slide's
a
little
bit
funky
too,
but
in
terms
of
our
partnerships.
I
think
caitlyn
mentioned
this
earlier,
so
in
some
of
our
early
meetings,
you
know
we
really
tried
to
get
out
in
front
of
the
community.
We
had
a
conversation
with
councillor
edwards,
who.
AS
Said
the
one
thing
that's
been
one
of
the
big
things:
that's
missing
from
charlestown.
Is
that
there's
no
laundromat,
that's
currently
in
the
in
the
neighborhood,
so
people
are
taking
their
laundry
going
to
chelsea,
going
to
everett
going
to
north
end,
wherever
it
may
be,
taking
it
along
you're
doing
they
want
to
be
there
and
then
coming
back
so
we
are
committed.
AS
That's
still
the
beginning
stages,
but
we're
committed
you
know-
and
it
was
mentioned
earlier
on
in
this
meeting.
You
know
really
sort
of
growing
the
life
sciences,
business
and
bringing
you
know,
people
up
through
the
community
and
actually
working
in
these
jobs
going
forward
and
then
separately
we're
creating
250
new
jobs
in
the
r
d
sector,
another
225
jobs
in
the
construction
sector
and
then
there's
the
increased
tax
revenue
as
well
next
slide.
AS
So
this
is
some
context,
so
this
is
obviously
from
rutherford
avenue
of
the
existing
building,
which
is
currently
a
cube.
Smart.
You
know
again,
it's
not
not.
AO
AS
Greatest
looking
building
and-
and
you
know
again,
the
next
slide
will
show
you
that
we're
trying
to
to
propose
something-
that's
you
know
again
fits
in
with
the
neighborhood,
but
is
then
more
aesthetically
pleasing
looking
from
rockford
next
slide,
please
so
here
I
will
turn
it
over
to
salfi
from
mvpj.
AT
Thank
you
will
and
thank
you
to
the
board,
so
working
with
related
dealer
was
important
that
this
building
fits
in
its
context.
The
presence
of
the
of
the
building
fits
in
the
context,
so
we're
taking
down
that
two-story
building
and
putting
up
a
three-story
building.
As
you
can
see
it
here
next
slide,
so
we
took
into
account
an
urban
edge,
so
the
the
edge
of
the
building
on
the
rutherford
f
edge
aligns
with
the
harvey
building
so
that
the
pedestrian
can
experience
a
continuous
it
can
have
a
continuous
experience.
AT
Also,
the
building
is
lower
than
its
adjacent
harvey
building
so
that
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't
have
a
higher
prominence
over
that
building
and
what
we
did
is
we
could
bring
a
green
roof
to
the
north
half
of
the
roof
so
that
the
harvey
neighbors
can
have
something
nice
to
look
at
next.
AT
The
building
is
aimed
for
life
sciences,
tenants
can
be
offices
or
labs.
The
most
risk
restricted
laboratory
will
be
a
biosafety
level,
two,
which
means
that
the
labs
will
be
enclosed.
There
will
be
protocols
for
safe
working
and
access
will
be
secured
next.
AT
Of
course,
this
being
a
lab
building,
it
will
have
a
mechanical
penthouse.
The
penthouse
is
20
feet
high.
We
stepped
it
back
from
rutherford
avenue
so
that
it
is
barely
visible
when
you're
on
the
avenue
of
all
the
equipment
are
either
in
an
interior
space
or
if
they
are
in
an
exterior
space,
they
are,
they
have.
They
are
behind
acoustical
screens,
so
that
the
noise
that
the
noise
is
within
the
city
of
boston's
acceptable
levels
not
to
bother
the
neighbors
next
transportation
wise.
We
are
not
adding
any
additional
parking
spots
than
what
there
is
existing.
AT
The
site
is
accessible,
both
from
sullivan
square
and
community
college
stations
by
12
and
10
minute
walks
respectively,
and
we're
also
providing
44
parking
spots
inside
of
the
building
and
long
term
and
20
outside
of
the
building
above
what
is
required
for
us
to
provide
next.
AT
This
is
generally
the
site
plan,
while
we're
creating
an
urban
edge,
we're
also
giving
a
green
green
edge
to
the
neighborhood
so
that
it's
a
much
more
pleasant
experience,
also
a
kind
of
an
entry
garden
to
the
west
of
the
building
for
the
tenants
we're
surrounding
the
building.
Basically,
with
as
much
green
as
possible,
next.
AT
AT
This
is
once
you're
on
in
the
industrial
park,
so
behind
behind
rutherford
avenue
on
the
other
side
coming
in
from
the
parking
from
industrial
park,
and
the
main
entrance
is
what
you're
looking
at
to
on
the
long
face
of
the
building
under
the
canopy.
AT
The
transformers
are
located
here
away
from
any
public
view
and
also
screened
from
the
building
tenant
entry
area
by
landscaping.
Next,
in
terms
of
sustainability,
we
are
aiming
at
the
gold.
We
are
aiming
at
energy
savings
that
that
is
51
above
the
code,
baseline
greenhouse
gas
savings
42
above
the
code
baseline
facade,
thermal
performance,
13,
better
electrification
goal
is
at
95
percent.
We
are
installing
rooftop
photovoltaic
panels.
AT
AT
Our
ground
floor
is
is
four
feet
above
grade,
which
is
two
feet
above
the
flood
elevation,
boston,
flood
elevation
except
the
loading
dock,
which
is
upgrade,
and
I
think
that's
it
for
us.
Thank
you.
B
Hopefully,
as
these
projects
move
forward
among
the
community
benefits
that
you
might
cite
as
your
tenants
move
in
would
be
the
development
of
relationship
in
this
instance
with
bunker
hill
community
college,
which
is
right
next
door.
It'd.
Be
a
shame
to
have
this
kind
of
facility
move
into
this
site.
B
AS
Smart
yeah,
we
we,
we
agree
with
you.
Full-Heartedly
we've
already
had
a
couple
of
conversations
with
bunker
hill
community
college
specific
to
you
know
the
programs
that
they
have
in
place
today
and
the
sort
of
r
d
project
that
we're
developing
and
how
we
can
sort
of
you
know
help
help
guide
these
students
sort
of
into
the
workforce.
You
know
specifically
in
the
life
sciences,
workforce
and
hopefully,
specifically
within
charlestown,
within
our
within
our
building,
so
we're
actively
pursuing
that
today.
A
Right
any
additional
questions
or
comments.
B
C
U
A
Thank
you,
okay,
so
that
was
okay.
So
we

Thank
you,
madame
tara,
members
of
the
board
director
golden
and
secretary
polymis,
my
name
is
richard
mcinnis,
I'm
deputy
director
for
climate
change
and
environmental
planning.
The
bpda
looks
forward
to
working
with
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
to
ensure
our
sustainable
and
equitable
program
for
public
cultural
facilities
within
private
developments.
AU
This
program
dates
back
over
20
years
and
has
numerous
successes,
including
the
institute
of
contemporary
art,
but
also
challenges
such
as
the
closing
of
the
society
of
arts,
crafts
on
tier
4
and
the
broader
concerns
about
the
lack
of
awareness
and
opportunities
for
cultural
organizations
that
reflect
all
of
boston's,
rich
and
vibrant
communities.
Next
slide,
please
currently,
there's
over
192
000
square
feet
of
required
facility
space
distributed
over
12
buildings
existing
pending
and
planned
in
the
south,
boston,
waterfront
and
new
spaces
are
proposed
along
the
full
point
channel
at
five
necco
and
244
a
street.
AU
The
funds
will
support
consultant
services
and
supplement
mayor's
office
of
culture,
arts
and
culture
staffing.
The
scope
includes
a
review
of
existing
pending
and
planned
facilities,
interview
operators
and
stakeholders
develop
consistent
framework
and
conditions
for
cultural
organizations,
including
space
design.
Build-Up
finish:
costs
operating
subsidies,
fees,
including
rent
utilities,
common
area
charges
and
real
estate
taxes.
AU
The
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
will
refer
to
the
boston,
creates
cultural
plan
and
other
planning
principles
to
inform
recommendations
for
needed
facilities,
including
cultural
production
spaces
such
as
rehearsal,
space,
recording
arts,
fabrication,
cultural
presenting
spaces,
including
live
music
venues,
performance
spaces
and
also
retail
outdoor
programs
and
other
civic
cultural
uses.
AU
AU
These
are
some
great
images
of
grub
street's
new
facility
on
fan,
pier
also
their
young
adult
writers
program,
the
ica's
teen
arts
council
that
recently
expanded
into
pier
4
and
the
long-standing
community
boat
building
program.
And,
lastly,
we
are
awaiting
the
completion
of
a
30
000
square
foot,
seaport
performance,
arts
center
and
program
by
celebrity
series
that
includes
a
50-seat
theater
and
150-seat
theater,
and
I
just
want
to
put
my
colleagues
praise
for
director
golden
for
his
role
in
city
building
and
the
support
of
the
agency
staff.
This
concludes
my
presentation.
Thank
you.
B
This
is
a
wonderful
way
to
support
some
very
good
and
inclusive
groups,
and
I
hope
that,
as
part
of
the
planning
and
consultation
that
goes
on,
there
will
be
an
effort
made
to
engage
the
cultural
institutions
in
raising
the
city's
consciousness
of
resilience
and,
if
we're
we're
doing
art
and
cultural
along
the
waterfront,
we
might
as
well
leverage
having
those
young
people
doing
cultural
production
to
also
contribute
to
our
knowledge
and
understanding
of
the
physical
and
resilience
aspects
of
what's
happening.
There.

testing
and
engineering
uses
per
the

Cronan's
design
and
engineer
engineering
teams
have
been
continuing
to
undergo
analysis
and
examination
through
article
80
review
and
are
continuing
to
revise
aspects
of
the
project
in
response
to
feedback
received
at
these
sessions,
in
particular
response
resilience,
sustainability
and
accessibility
considerations.
M
The
team
has
also
responded
to
comments
received
from
bpda
urban
design,
with
a
revised
design
that
has
evolved
to
be
more
contextual
to
the
rlf
mp
surroundings.
The
project
team
appeared
at
the
april
5th
boston,
civic

work
with
the
leasing
community
to
identify
potential

M
Further
building
permits
must
be
ready
for
issuance
and
the

must
be
fully
negotiated,
in

to
obtaining
any

Therefore,
staff
recommends

AW
So
I'd
like
to
just
go
over
a
couple
of
things:
the
series
of
renderings
to
demonstrate
the
the
building
that
we're
proposing
our
team
and
dei
initiatives,
our
sustainability
program
and
an
overview
of
our
public
benefits
next
slide,
the
site
is,
is
extremely
prominent
and
it's
bordered
by
northern
avenue,
tide
street
dry
dock
avenue
and
our
site
plan
features
35
000
square
feet
of
open
space,
highlighted
by
terraced,
patios
and
landscaping.
AW
This
is
round
inc
is
our
landscape
architect,
and
we
think
that
for
the
preliminary
design,
we're
rather
pleased
with
it
next
slide.
This
is
the
northern
avenue
frontage.
The
building
is
seven
stories
108
feet,
tall
consistent
with
the
idb
and
design
plans
for
24
dry
dock.
The
mechanicals
are
below
the
faa
glide
path.
It
is
an
far
4.0
which
is
consistent
with
the
rlfm
master
plan
update
next
slide.
AW
This
represents
the
corner
of
tide
and
northern,
and
what
what
is
shown
here
is
really
the
fact
that
we
are
elevating
the
site
to
21.5
boston
city
base
to
meet
resiliency
requirements.
AW
We
believe
this
is
fairly
elegantly
achieved
through
a
stepped
planning
beds
and
plazas.
While
accessibility
is
a
key
requirement,
therefore,
ramps
will
be
incorporated
throughout
the
site.
Next
slide.
Please,
this
show
is
the
tide
and
dry
dock
facades.
AW
AW
AW
One
other
feature
of
this
that
I'd
like
to
point
out
now,
because
on
this
particular
rendering
it
shows,
is
you
might
notice
at
the
roof
line.
There
is
a
secondary
roof
that
actually
is
a
very
unique
opportunity
that
our
architect
sga
put
forth
in
order
for
us
to
utilize
photovoltaics
on
a
lab
building,
which
normally
is
difficult
because
of
the
amount
of
mechanicals.
AW
So
what
we've
actually
done
is
provide
a
photovoltaic
halo
around
the
building,
allowing
us
to
do
a
significant
amount
of
on-site
electricity
generation
and
then
finally,
next
slide
is
back
to
northern
avenue
and
demonstrating,
on
the
lower
right
hand,
side
some
of
the
smaller
retail
space
on
the
ground
floor
next
slide,
you
might
have
noticed
that
we
did
have
some
landscaping
at
the
roof.
AW
Our
design
does
call
for
a
roof
deck,
obviously,
with
amazing
views
back
to
the
city
and
over
the
waterfront
along
northern
avenue.
We
see
this
this
space,
which
essentially
is
occupiable
function.
Space
is
also
being
usable
by
the
community
when
not
in
use
by
by
the
tenants.
AW
Next
slide,
please
ground
floor
public
space
in
in
the
lobby
area
of
the
lab
building.
Again,
we're
looking
for
space
that
can
be
multi-purpose
and
multi-use
again
providing
access
to
community
groups
for
presentations
book
signings.
You
can
imagine
a
number
of
uses
that
might
be
that
might
be
executed
in
this
location.
AW
AW
Next
we're
going
to
talk
about
our
team
with
the
next
slide,
and
we've
got
really
a
very
experienced
team,
but
not
only
experienced
they're,
also
incredibly
diverse,
and
if
you
can
initiate
the
next
slide,
our
team
is
made
up
of
45
the
existing
current
team
that
we
have
obviously
we're
early
in
the
design
process,
but
45
of
the
team
is
made
up
of
nwbe
firms
and
probably
equally
as
important
for
those
firms
that
are
not
representing
mwbe
activity.
AW
100
of
them
have
committed
to
obtaining
additional
mwbe
participation
through
partnerships,
so
one
key
area
is
mep,
for
example,
a
major
component
of
of
life
science,
development,
cold,
consulting
and
geotech.
We're
gonna
be
looking
to
add
on
additional
members
next
slide
in
the
construction
area
and
one
of
the
things
as
well
on
the
dei
program
that
I
did
mention
in
all
areas,
whether
it
be
ownership,
design,
engineering,
construction
and
then
finally,
operations.
AW
We
have
a
significant
and
mwbe
component
in
each
of
those
on
the
construction
side,
we're
going
to
use
a
program
that
we've
used
successfully
on
many
other
projects
and
we're
going
to
incorporate
what
we
call
an
ecm
cm
construction
methodology
in
which
the
team
is
integrated
between
both
related
beel
employees,
who
are
self-performing
activity
and
then
we're
using
janney
construction
and
greg.
Janney.
AW
We've
had
a
number
of
meetings
in
which
we've
been
able
to
actually
identify
each
of
the
positions
and
from
project
executive
down
to
assistant
superintendent,
in
which
we
have
both
members
of
related
deal,
as
well
as
janet
construction
engaged
in
that
construction
management
function
and
something
that
we
really
look
forward
to
the
interesting
thing
is
on.
The
next
slide
is:
is
this:
this
project
is
going
to
be
approximately
a
400
million
dollar
construction
spend
and
when
I
say
I
shouldn't
say,
construction
development
spend.
AW
So
when
you
look
at
that,
really
only
10
of
that
is
in
the
team.
The
balance
of
that
is
really
with
subcontractors,
vendors
and
suppliers,
and
so
we've
hired
in-order
business
development
solutions
to
engage
in
ensuring
that
we're
able
to
access
all
of
those
firms
and
ensure
that
they
have
an
opportunity
to
bid
on
the
project.
Her
success
goes
without
question,
as
she's
achieved
in
excess
of
15
in
terms
of
minority
and
mwbe
corporate
spend
out
of
our
construction
programs
and
we're
looking
for
the
same
results
next
slide.
AW
Please
it's
also
a
new
model
for
sustainability,
as
discussed
leed
platinum,
zero,
carbon
emissions.
The
only
way
you
do
that
is
through
super
high
performance
envelope,
design
you've
got
to
have
complete
electrification
for
your
meps
and
you've
got
to
maximize
your
on-site
generation.
Vis-A-Vis
that
unique
innovative
solution.
The
pv
halo
next
slide
we're
going
to
show
some
of
the
demonstrated
results
are
in
excess
of
50
reduction
over
the
stretch
code
next,
and
we
anticipate
that
right
out
of
the
gate,
we're
going
to
be
100,
carbon
neutral
or
100
zero.
AW
Carbon
next
slide
public
benefits.
Our
public
benefits
also
incorporate
dei
initi
initiatives
are
infused
throughout
these
public
benefits
and
they're
really
focused
on
two
areas.
One
is
education
with
really
a
focus
of
educating
those
who
don't
realize
today
that
they
have.
They
have
career,
that
they
have
opportunities
in
careers
based
in
the
life
science
industry
and
also
in
recognizing
the
importance
of
the
seafood
industry
to
the
south
boston
waterfront.
AW
There
is
an
opportunity
to
partner
and
to
coexist
effectively
and
finally,
we've
got
2.1
million
dollars
of
additional
funding
that
has
not
even
been
accounted
for,
yet
that
will
be
accounted
for
through

you've
done

is
again
very
much
appreciated

Thank
you,

Thank
you

Over

past
eight
years,
I'm
constance
martin
from
the
office
of
financial
empowerment,
the
mayor's
office
of
financial
empowerment,
has
been
allocated
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
american
rescue
plan
funds
to
better
serve
boston
residents
through
digital
inclusion.
AD
As
you
know,
lmi
residents
were
disproportionately
affected
during
the
pandemic,
with
limited
computer
skills.
Few
had
computers
at
home
and
many
did
not
have
internet
access.
We
have
already
added
a
digital
literacy
workforce
development
program
and
our
seventh
class
of
students
was
graduating
by
a
zoom
tomorrow.
AD
AD
This
would
help
us
reach
residents,
reach
more
residents
and
they
would
be
able
to
learn
about
our
programs
at
their
own
convenience
rather
than
attending
presentations
that
only
take
place
during
working
hours.
They
would
also
be
able
to
access
information
on
the
specific
topics
that
interest
them.
Instead,
the
more
general
orientation
that
we
provide
now
we
anticipate
that
all
future
services
will
be
hybrid.
So
it's
really
important
to
us
to
have
professional
materials
to
use
for
virtual
recruitment
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
