I
Priscilla

hi.
B
Second,
we'll
call
for
a
vote:
Mr
Monahan
aye,
director,
lansmark
aye
and
the
chair
votes.
I
motion
passes
item
number
two
request:
authorization
to
enter
into
a
license
agreement
with
22
Dry
Dock
LLC,
a
joint
venture
between
related
field
Boston,
real
estate,
inclusion
fund
and
Kavanaugh
Advisory
Group
vertex
Pharmaceuticals
to
conduct
the
okay
to
conduct
pre-development
activities
at
20
and
22
Dry
Dock
Avenue
within
the
Raymond
elfland
Marine
Park
Marine.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
22
on
April
14
2022,
the
bpda
board
of
directors
awarded
22
drydock
LLC
as
a
redeveloper
of
20
and
22
drydock
Gap
in
the
Raymond
offland
Marine
Park,
and
authorized
a
license
agreement
for
pre-development
activities
on
the
site.
The
license
agreement
for
pre-development
activities
expired
on
December
31st
2022.
In
order
to
complete
the
remaining
permitting
Demolition
and
construction
preparation
items,
22
drydock
LLC
has
requested
a
new
license
agreement
to
continue
this
activity.
D
E
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
members
of
the
board
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
today
in
September
of
2020.
This
board
authorized
the
award
of
a
contract
to
Williamson
for
dry
dock
pump
maintenance
services
at
Dry,
Dock
number.
Four.
As
you
may
recall,
this
Dry
Dock
has
been
deactivated
and
it
requires
pumps
to
keep
the
water
level
low,
and
so
the
caisson
remains
sealed
in
the
course
of
their
routine
maintenance
visits,
which
include,
inspection
and
disassembly
of
the
pumps.
F
William
found
that
the
diffuser
needs
to
be
replaced
with
a
total
cost
that
exceeds
the
contract
allowance
for
materials.
This
amendment
would
increase
the
total
contract
value
by
approximately
eight
percent
and
the
specifications
have
been
reviewed
by
bpda
staff
and
engineers
and
determined
to
be
reasonable.
Therefore,
it's
in
the
bpda's
best
interest
to
amend
this
contract
in
order
to
maintain
this
asset.
I
will
note
that
this
contract
expires
towards
the
end
of
this
year.
So
we
will
come
to
you
to
reprocure
these
services
in
the
near
future.

Okay
item
number
four
Finance
Q3
update
Michelle.
G
Hello
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
behemus
Chief
Jemison
I,
am
Michelle
Goldberg.
The
Director
of
Finance
of
the
bpda
I
am
here
today
to
present
our
third
quarter.
Finance
update
this
will
not
require
a
vote
and
I
am
happy
to
take
questions
at
the
conclusion
of
the
presentation.
Next
slide.
Please
is
our
current
practice.
I
will
start
with
Equitable
procurement,
which
is
celebrating
its
two-year
anniversary.
G
The
plan
requires
that
the
Director
of
Finance,
who
is
also
the
chief
procurement
officer
to
provide
quarterly
updates
to
the
board
on
the
progress
of
the
Equitable
procurement
efforts,
in
addition
to
our
financial
updates
next
slide,
please,
the
Equitable
procurement
plan
has
five
key
elements:
all
designed
to
break
down
barriers
standing
between
small
businesses
and
bpda
contracts.
The
bpda
began
implementing
this
plan
immediately
upon
its
passage
in
2012
2021.
H
G
We
have
made
great
progress
in
all
five
areas.
Tonight
we
will
focus
in
on
area
2.
Community
outreach
next
slide,
please,
but
before
we
do
that,
let's
focus
in
on
our
spend.
We
continue
to
refine
our
data
collection
and
recording
tools.
I
would
like
folks
to
note
that,
at
the
time
of
our
2020
disparity
study,
we
had
only
spent
over
a
five-year
period,
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
with
minority
owned
firms.
Today,
that
number
is
2.4
million.
G
This
is
encouraging
performance
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
exploring
opportunities
to
continue
to
open
up
our
Marketplace
to
more
providers.
Next
slide,
please
some
key
updates
on
our
Outreach
efforts.
From
a
general
perspective.
In
the
last
90
days,
we
have
released
13
procurements,
our
supplier
diversity,
specialist,
Robert
Springer,
has
reached
out
to
593
unique
providers
for
these
13
projects,
primarily
off
the
state
contract
list,
but
we
are
also
collecting
contacts
of
our
own.
Robert
is
building
relationships
with
business
owners
and
we
are
seeing
more
plan
holders
and
more
bidders
come
to
the
table.
G
Thank
you,
Robert
for
all
your
work
on
that
next
slide.
Please
tonight
I'd
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
share
the
results
of
our
technical
assistance,
pro
project
that
we
did
with
city
of
Boston
staff
in
order
Consulting
and
calyptus
group.
With
this
project,
we
sought
to
better
understand
what
technical
the
technical
assistance
Marketplace
looked
like
specifically
when
it
comes
to
Government
Contracting
and
how
the
bpda,
in
coordination
with
the
city
could
add
value
as
targeted
programming
next
slide.
Please
we
asked
in
order
and
collect
us
to
take
three
key
perspectives
in
this
project.
G
We
surveyed
organizations
that
provide
technical
assistance
to
small
businesses.
It
was
clear
that
we
were
able
to
confirm
there's
not
a
lot
of
focus
on
Government,
Contracting
and
providers
struggle
to
track
outcomes.
You
can
see
on
the
right
side
of
this
table.
We
have
a
lot
of
specific
recommendations
that
we
can
look
into
in
an
effort
to
fill
these
gaps
slide
please.
G
Secondly,
we
surveyed
over
1
400
small
minority-owned
businesses
in
the
region
to
see
what
type
of
technical
assistance
they're
currently
using
and
what
they
felt
they
needed.
Technical
assistance
came
in
third
to
struggling
to
know
when
opportunities
are
actually
emerging
so
time.
The
barrier
time
and
consistent
networking
environments
to
build
relationships.
We
think
our
consultants
for
helping
us
hear
from
the
community
that
we're
seeking
to
serve,
and
this
will
absolutely
inform
our
Direction
going
forward
next
slide.
G
Please
the
third
place
we
look
were
to
our
peers
and
in
order
in
caliptas,
did
benchmarking
to
look
across
the
country
to
identify
best
practices.
These
examples
show
that
there
are
countless
ways
to
make
an
impact.
As
we
look
to
the
future
of
this
agency
into
the
future
of
the
city
of
Boston.
We
are
very
excited
to
lead
the
conversation
in
providing
targeted
support
to
disadvantaged
businesses
that
are
seeking
government
contracts
slide.
Please
all
of
these
recommendations
will
help
us
build
our
supplier
diversity
functions.
G
We
have
been
reviewing
these
recommendations
and
we'll
be
implementing
several
of
these.
In
partnership
with
the
city.
When
I
return
in
June
for
fy24
Budget
I
will
share
which
recommendations
we
will
be
taking
action
on
first
now
for
our
finance
update
next
slide,
please,
and
you
can
skip
to
the
next
one
too
fiscal
year,
23
started
on
July
1
2022..
The
trends
we
are
seeing
remain
favorable
for
the
bpda.
This
table
I'm,
showing
here,
is
our
effort
to
try
out
something
new,
so
bear
with
me.
The
First
Column
is
our
FY
23
third
quarter
budget.
G
We
expect
it
to
collect
about
60
million
dollars
by
this
point
in
the
year.
You
can
see
we
also
intended
to
spend
about
60
million
dollars.
The
revenue
is
generally
on
budget,
but
we
have
only
spent
51
million
dollars.
The
two
key
reasons
that
spending
the
pure
slow
are
our
two
favorite
items:
building
108
and
the
intercompany
grant.
We
are
very
pleased
that
the
building
108,
Demolition
and
Remediation
is
wrapping
up
and
spending
came
in
below
Budget
on
that
project.
That's
quite
an
accomplishment
giving
that
this
took
place
throughout
the
pandemic.
G
Accounting
practices,
however,
shifted
in
between
when
our
budget
was
put
together
and
the
FY
22
accounting
was
finalized.
Our
Auditors
made
a
determination
that
we
would
recognize
the
entire
cost
of
the
project
in
FY
22..
We
budgeted
for
that
this
year
and
we
also
budgeted
four
million
dollars
of
an
intercompany
Branch
to
go
from
edic
to
VRA
to
pay
for
that.
So
in
this
third
column,
here
we
attempted
to
back
out
those
two
items
so
that
you
can
see
the
performance
of
the
general
business
is
much
closer
to
the
budgeted
amount.
G
Next
slide,
please
so
when
we
put
it
all
together
and
project
for
the
end
of
the
year,
the
bpda's
finances
are
performing
favorably.
The
first
two
columns
are
last
year's
budget
and
last
year's
actuals.
So
if
you
look
in
that
property
management
and
Debt
Service
category
you'll
see
last
year
we
budgeted
17
million
dollars
that
was
for
building
108
and
we
spent
about
16
million
dollars.
G
You
can
see,
let's
see
here
sorry
last
year's
surpluses
were
moved
into
the
capital
reserve
fund.
We
are
projecting
surpluses
this
year
and
whatever
is
remaining,
will
probably
also
be
moved
into
that
fund
next
slide.
Please
here
is
a
new
view
of
our
capital
capital
portfolio.
It
is
extraordinary
to
see
the
amount
of
work
that
the
small
But
Mighty
team
is
undertaking.
Thank
you
to
everybody
in
the
real
estate
department
for
all
your
hard
work.
These
four
bar
charts
Express
the
capital
projects
by
fiscal
year
by
size,
location
and
type.
G
We
are
thrilled
to
see
our
spending
increase
this
fiscal
year.
It
means
we
are
delivering
on
our
promise
to
Shep
to
be
the
Shepherds
of
critical
public
infrastructure.
Thank
you
real
estate
and
finance
and
everyone
else
who
is
making
this
happen
with
that
I.
Don't
think
we
have
any
more
slides.
Is
there
one
more
call
it
out
so
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
have.
This
concludes
my
update.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
great,
thank
you
Michelle.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
B
No
so
yeah
again
once
again,
it's
really
exciting
to
see
how
this
presentation
you
know
involves
each
quarter
definitely
really
excited
to
see
how
the
you
know
the
what
you've
taken
with
the
Supplier
Diversity.
B
You
know
initiative
that
was
rolled
out
you
know
several
years
ago
and
to
see
it
kind
of
all.
You
know
fully
coming
to
fruition
and
and
working
is
just
a

you
and
your

see
a
lot
of
Supplier
Diversity
stuff,
so
you
know
you're
really
doing
a
best-in-class
job.
This
is.

All

plan
is
meant
to
be
a
functional
document
that
focuses
on
how
future
development
can
help
Mattapan
residents
increase
generational
wealth,
address
historic
inequities
and
avoid
displacement
of
current
residents.
K
So
I'm,
not
a
pen
was
launched
in
October
2018
with
the
charge
to
develop
a
comprehensive
community-centered
vision
for
the
neighborhood
that
could
guide
future
growth
in
an
equitable
and
predictable
way.
Over
the
last
five
years,
the
planning
team
worked
alongside
the
Mattapan
Community
to
craft
the
vision,
goals
and
planning
recommendations
that
make
up
the
final
draft
for
adoption
that
you
see
before
you
today.
Next
slide.
K
In
total,
there
were
more
than
150
different
engagements,
which
ranged
from
public
meetings
and
planning
workshops
to
in-person
chats
with
a
planner
at
the
Mattapan
Library
activities
at
neighborhood
events,
community
one-on-ones
and
many
walkthroughs
along
Blue
Hill
Ave,
Kenya
Beeman,
who
is
mattapan's
community
engagement
manager
and
also
a
lifelong
resident
of
Mattapan
LED.
K
Every
single
one
of
these
engagement
events
and
ensure
that
the
planning
team
met
with
community
members
of
all
ages
and
backgrounds
and
that
every
voice
was
heard
she's
on
a
well-deserved
vacation
right
now,
but
I
just
want
to
give
her
a
special
shout
out
as
her
expertise
and
hard
work
were
incredibly
critical
to
this
plan.
Next
slide,
I'll
now
walk
you
through
the
planning
recommendations.
Plan
Mattapan
has
three
main
sections
that
each
focus
on
these
three
Geographic
areas
of
Mattapan
on
the
screen
before
you
nodes
corridors
and
residential
fabric.
K
The
reason
it
does
this
is
because
one
of
the
plan's
most
important
recommendations
is
that
Mattapan
evolve
into
a
10-minute
neighborhood,
which
is
a
neighborhood
where
essential,
Services,
local
shops,
parks
and
Transit
are
no
more
than
a
10-minute
walk
from
anyone's
doorstep.
So,
in
order
to
make
sure
that
this
10-minute
Vision
actually
can
be
achieved,
mattapan's
nodes,
like
Mattapan
Square
corridors
like
Blue,
Hill,
Ave
and
its
residential
fabric,
need
to
be
more
accessible
and
work
more
closely
together,
which
can
be
accomplished
through
Mobility
improvements
and
key
zoning
changes
next
slide.
K
K
As
you
can
see
from
the
map,
the
majority
of
matapan's
existing
nodes
are
clustered
along
Blue
Hill
Ave,
but
by
introducing
more
areas
that
allow
mixed-use
zoning
throughout
the
neighborhood
when
Mattapan
lays
the
foundation
for
creating
three
new
neighborhood
nodes,
seen
here
in
the
yellow
dots
on
this
map
that
are
deeper
within
the
residential
fabric,
this
additional
zoning
capacity
for
more
local
business
throughout
Mattapan
helps
to
further
the
10-minute
Vision
that
I
described
earlier
next
slide
in
both
current
and
future
nodes.
The
vision
is
overall
similar.
K
The
plan
recommends
the
development
of
more
diverse
commercial
and
cultural
spaces
that
promote
Gathering,
like
sit-down
restaurants,
event,
spaces
for
young
people
and
also
underscores
how
to
access
City
programs
to
support
current
and
future
business
owners.
A
healthy,
vibrant
public
realm
that
includes
more
Greenery,
more
opportunities
for
public
art
and
promotes
Mobility
is
also
key,
and
finally,
increasing
capacity
for
housing
is
envisioned
with
within
all
of
not
Advanced
nodes.
Next
slide.
K
When
that
appends
Corridor
recommendations
focus
on
ensuring
that
its
corridors
keep
working
safely
and
reliably
through
improved
access
to
bus
and
Rapid,
Transit
and
safety
enhancements
for
pedestrians
like
building
more
crosswalks
or
improving
Street
surfaces,
corridors
are
also
a
prime
location
for
Transit
oriented
development,
and
the
plan
recommends
that
multi-family
zoning
be
expanded
along
corridors
in
order
to
support
more
multi-family
residential
development,
as
well
as
more
opportunities
for
local
business.
Next
slide,
with
increased
access
for
multi-family
and
mixed-use
development
and
transportation
strategies
to
improve
reliability
and
accessibility.
K
One
of
the
most
important
linchpins
of
the
plan
is
that
development
in
Mattapan
must
happen
without
displacement
of
existing
residents.
So
while
it's
certainly
important
to
meet
the
Citywide
need
for
housing,
it's
also
equally
critical
to
ensure
this
existing
residents
are
secure
in
their
homes
and
also
are
able
to
build
wealth.
K
So
a
bit
of
context
around
Adu.
We
do
currently
have
a
city-wide
Adu
program
in
Boston
that
allows
homeowners
to
convert
pre-existing
spaces
within
their
homes
like
attics
or
basements
into
additional
units.
This
program
has
been
successful
and
during
the
planning
process,
bpda
staff
actually
were
able
to
connect
with
the
matapan
resident,
who
has
the
end
vehicle
title
of
having
built
the
city's
first
additional
dwelling
unit
in
the
basement
of
his
home,
which
he's
used
as
a
short-term
rental
for
some
additional
income
next
slide
throughout
the
planning
process.
K
We
heard
from
Mattapan
residents
that
multi-generational
housing
and
aging
in
place
was
a
top
priority,
along
with
expanding
opportunities
for
generating
extra
income
to
help
cover
living
costs.
Backyard
adus
afford
growing
families,
more
room,
allows
seniors
to
age
in
place,
accommodate
diverse
household
configurations,
and
they
offer
a
boost
in
income
for
owners
who
might
want
to
use
them
as
rentals
adus
can
also
support
artist
uses
like
with
workspaces
or
Studios
next
slide.
K
The
zoning
study
will
analyze
Trends
and
patterns
of
Adu
development,
both
in
Mattapan
and
across
Boston,
with
the
ultimate
goal
of
developing
a
recommended
zoning
envelope
for
for
adus
and
Mattapan.
The
bppda
is
also
coordinating
with
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
to
explore
funding
programs
and
technical
assistance
that
will
make
the
development
in
the
construction
of
edu's
more
affordable
for
matapan
homeowners
next
slide.
K
Of
course,
a
neighborhood
plan
is
only
as
good
as
its
plan
for
implementation.
So
I'd
like
to
end
this
presentation
with
a
few
notes
on
the
next
steps
that
the
planning
team
has
identified
for
plan.
Mattapan
first
is
the
zoning
feasibility
study,
which
I
just
described,
which
is
scheduled
to
start
later
this
month.
Pending
the
results
of
that
study
and
further
Community
process,
Mattapan
could
have
new
Zoning
for
edus
within
a
year.
K
Secondly,
we've
identified
a
need
for
meetings
with
it
with
a
need
for
meetings
with
business
and
Property
Owners
within
Mattapan
Square,
to
talk
to
them
more
about
the
cuny's
vision
of
the
square
and
the
anticipated
zoning
changes,
and
these
meetings
will
be
scheduled
within
the
coming
months.
We're
planning
to
deliver
the
new
zoning
to
fulfill
the
plan
recommendations
within
the
next
year
as
part
of
the
city-wide
squares
and
corridors
initiative.
K
I
also
want
to
recognize
three
letters
of
support
that
plan
that
I've
had
received
from
Senator
Liz,
Miranda,
representative
Brandy,
Fluker,
Oakley
and
counselor
Ricardo
Arroyo
and
lastly,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
Mattapan
Community,
who
showed
so
much
dedication
to
their
neighborhood
throughout
the
whole
planning
process
plan
that
a
pen
really
is
both
by
and
for
the
community.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
your
attention
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Madam,
chair
councilor
illusion
is
on
and
I'm
going
to
allow
her
to
talk.
Counselor.
H
B
M
Thank
you
for
having
me
just
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
incredible
work
on
playing
Mattapan
I
am
Rudy
Legion
at
large
city
counselor
born
and
raised
in
Mattapan,
and
had
fired
and
come
to
live
on
the
hypognizian
border
and
I
care
about
all
of
our
neighborhoods
in
City
Boston.
But
obviously,
here
deeply
also
about
Mattapan,
where
I
grew
up.
Album
is
a
neighborhood
with
the
highest
rate
of
black
ownership.
M
The
city
still
faces
serious
social
and
economic
disparities,
the
near
it's
a
neighborhood
that
lacks
sit
down,
restaurants
and
other
establishments
that
make
the
thriving
neighborhoods.
We
have
to
continue
to
focus
on
ways
to
increase
generational
wealth,
address
historic
inequities
and,
most
importantly,
avoid
displacing
existing
residents
plan.
M
My
opinion's
goal
of
Economic
and
Transit
oriented
development
with
a
focus
on
affordable
housing
growth
is
the
right
idea,
making
it
easier
for
homeowners
to
add
additional
drawing
units
partnering
with
Community
Land
trusts
on
Creative
Solutions,
to
make
sure
that
our
residents
aren't
being
displaced
and
to
think
about
how
our
elders
are
able
to
age
with
dignity
working
with
current
landlords,
especially
Mattapan
Square,
to
be
part
of
building
a
more
resilient
Forward,
Thinking
Mattapan
that
works
for
current
and
future
residents.
That's
the
goal!
M
It's
really
important
that
in
the
process
that
we
Embrace
mattapan's
character
and
charm,
a
neighborhood
that's
teaming
with
generational
families
and
strong
Caribbean
identities
on
those
those
identities
have
to
be
said.
In
order
for
the
growth
we
want
to
be
successful
as.
M
H
M
A
lot
really
a
lot
going
for
it.
It's
really
going
to
take
all
of
us
here
in
the
city
to
work
together
to
make
sure
that
we
are
promoting
growth,
the
growth
that
we
want
to
see
restaurants,
giving
opportunities
to
entrepreneurs
who
don't
have
the
capital
to
really
be
able
to
invest.
M
In
that
opinion,
I
worked
along
with
Council
around
to
get
more
liquor
licenses
into
our
neighborhoods,
and
we
continue
that
work
so
that
we
can
have
those
sit-down
restaurants,
I'm
excited
for
what's
in
plan
Mattapan
as
the
first
step
to
thinking
about
growth
and
development
in
Mattapan,
I
believe
that
there
should
always
be
a
community-led
process
or
community
at
the
center
and
I
commend
the
VA
for
holding
meetings
in
the
Asian
Community
for
translating
documents
for
all
the
folks
that
were
involved
in
giving
Community
feedback
into
what
the
future
of
Mattapan
should
be.
B
Thank
you,
counselor
appreciate
you,
okay,
well
I'm.
Just
you
know,
I'm
thrilled
I
think
this
is
an
amazing
plan.
You
can
definitely
tell
that
you
know
it.
It
just
fits
it.
It
really
does
fit
and
I'm
a
Mattapan
resident
and
just
you
know
it
is
a
multi-generational
neighborhood.
You
know
on
our
streets
and
so
I
think
the
the
adus
are
just
a
really
great
great
tool.
B
I
think
for
for
our
neighbors
and
yeah
can't
wait
for
the
10-minute
walkable
experience,
but
but
I
see
it,
you
mapped
it
out
with
the
the
nodes
there
and
yeah
just
really
excited
and
really
excited
to
get
this
into.
Whatever
zoning
needs
to
happen.
To
kind
of
you
know
lock
down
and
make
sure
that
you
know
it's
the
plan,
the
plan
can,
you
know,
be
yeah
executed.
B
So
all
right
if
there
are
no
other
further
questions
or
comments,
I
believe
emotion
is
an
order
so
move
second
up
I'll
throw
a
vote:
Mr,
Monahan,
aye,
dance,
Mark,
aye
and
the
chairperson
passes.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
O
Well,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
paulimus,
director
Jameson,
for
the
record.
My
name
is
Brian
Glasgow
I'm,
deputy
director
for
regulatory
Planning
and
Zoning
at
the
bpda
and
I'm
here
to
talk
about
the
thrilling
world
of
Boston
zoning
code,
definitions,
sections,
articles,
2
and
2A.
So
next
slide,
please
just
a
quick
bit
of
context.
O
You
know
we
talk
about
two
and
two:
a
there
are
two
different
sets
of
regular
of
definitions
applying
to
different
parts
of
the
code
they
sort
of
involved
independent
of
one
another
and,
as
a
result,
they're
they
kind
of
predictable
non-in
congruencies
we've
been
calling
them,
but
we've
decided.
You
know
the
time
is
right
to
try
and
fix
that,
and
it
creates
a
lot
of
confusion.
Even
season
veterans
have
have
trouble
sometimes
with
this.
So
next
slide.
Please.
O
So
one
talk
just
briefly
about
the
about
the
process
that
you've
gone
to
we've
been
actually
been
working
on
this
for
nearly
a
year,
I
would
say
plugging
away.
There
are
a
lot
of
definitions
to
go
through,
but
this
first
phase
would
be
creating
a
single
set
of
definitions
that
apply
to
the
entire
code.
Some
people
don't
have
to
sort
of
hunt
around
and
figure
out.
O
You
know
which
set
applies
to
them
and
then
going
forward
through
the
summer
we
found
some
places
where
there's
there's
some
some
of
the
some
of
the
definitions
don't
align
perfectly.
You
need
to
fix
those
standardized
terms
so
that
they
truly
do
apply
across
the
board.
Our
first
step
here
was:
we
were
very
careful
to
make
sure
that
nothing.
O
We
did
changed
how
the
definitions
apply
to
the
code
change,
how
the
how
the
code
operates
within
those
definitions,
we're
not
changing
anybody's
property
rights,
we're
not
doing
anything
that
changes,
how
the
code
works,
but
in
subsequent
phases
we're
going
to
have
to
make
some
decisions
about
things
that
that
will
potentially
change
how
the
code
works
so
that
third
phase
going
into
this
year
into
next,
really
where
some
of
the
really
super
hard
work
is
going
to
take
place
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
introduce
my
colleague,
Cyrus
and
sellings
I've
Been
instrumental
in
sort
of
moving
this
forward.
O
P
P
P
You
know
in
total,
290
unique
terms
exist
between
the
two
sections
of
these.
The
majority
are
either
distinct,
meaning
that
they're
defined
in
only
one
of
the
definitions,
articles
or
overlapping,
with
the
same
definition
across
both
articles.
P
You
know
there's
several
terms,
though
43
to
be
exact,
that
have
inconsistencies
and
how
they
are
defined
between
the
two
sections,
so
getting
to
a
single
definition
set
for
the
zoning
code
requires
at
a
minimum
that
those
43
incongruencies
be
resolved
and
in
a
way
that
does
not
substantively
alter
the
meaning
function
or
operation
of
the
code.
P
Next
slide
in
this
phase
of
the
definitions
project,
as
Brian
mentioned,
you
know
we're
aiming
to
consolidate
articles
2
and
2A
into
a
single
set
of
definitions
which
will
be
applicable
to
the
entire
zoning
code,
and
a
number
of
strategies
were
employed
to
accomplish
this
goal.
You
know
those
43
terms
that
are
incongruent
and
overlapping
were
resolved
in
one
of
two
ways
by
either
one
choosing
one
of
the
two
existing
definitions
to
adopt
or
two
rewriting
definitions
to
clarify,
meaning
or
be
inclusive
of
both
existing
versions.
P
In
addition
to
this,
we
also
took
the
opportunity
to
both
clarify
and
reformat
certain
definitions
with
overly
confusing
language,
as
well
as
delete
parallel
and
unnecessary
terms
from
the
code,
and
because
this
initial
phase
of
the
definitions
project
focuses
on
streamlining
structure.
Special
attention
was
given
to
ensuring
that
the
scope
of
these
definitions
updates
would
not
substantively
affect
the
meaning
function
or
operation
of
the
code.
P
You
know,
and
if,
if
approved
this
process
of
con
consolidation
won't
remove
duplicate
and
incongruent
terms
and
language
from
the
code
eliminate
questions
about
which
definitions
apply
in
any
given
situation,
make
make
the
definition
section
easier
to
update
in
the
future
and
more
broadly
set
a
strong
and
holistic
foundation
for
code
updates
to
come
so
now,
I'll
pass
the
Baton
to
my
colleague
Maya
to
run
through
some
examples
of
the
updates
we
pursued.
Q
Thank
you
for
the
record.
My
name
is
Maya
catler
Bowles
I'm,
the
planning
assistant
for
regulatory
Planning
and
Zoning
at
the
bpda,
so
I'm
going
to
go
through
a
few
examples
that
demonstrate
the
some
of
the
different
types
of
approaches
we
took
in
updating
and
consolidating
the
definitions
of
two
and
2A.
This
first
example
shows
definitions
where
we
maintain
one
of
the
two
existing
definitions.
Q
For
this
example,
you
can
see
the
definitions
are
very
similar
to
reverse
the
building
department.
Well,
2A
refers
to
inspectional
services
department,
so
we
maintain
two
a
because
it
was
just
slightly
more
specific
next
slide.
Please,
a
few
definitions
required
more
substantial,
combining
and
editing
because
they
contain
explosive
contradictions,
for
example,
in
these
definitions
of
multi-family
dwelling
in
two,
it's
a
building
containing
three
units
and
in
two-way
it's
a
building
containing
four
units.
Q
So
in
our
new
definition
we
say
that
for
projects
where
two
currently
applies
that
it's
still
three
units
and
for
projects
for
2A
currently
applies,
it's
still
four
units
so
that
the
function
in
the
code
Remains
the
Same
next
side.
Please
for
a
few
definitions.
We
also
made
some
very
minor
language
or
grammatical
fixes,
for
instance,
here
you
can
see
that
we
clarified
that
this
reference
to
chapter
91
refers
to
the
Massachusetts
General
law,
and
in
this
definition
we
just
replaced
a
comma
with
a
colon
next
slide.
Q
O
Thank
you,
mine
can
I
get
to
the
next
slide.
Please
so
one
thing
I
want
to
highlight.
Previously
we
held
a
couple
of
public
meetings
to
talk
about
clarifying
the
language.
Around
Flora
area
ratio,
gross
floor
area
lot
size
and
so
on.
That's
a
particularly
a
confusing
section
of
the
definitions
and
does
have
some
implications
for
development
potential.
O
We
will
be
taking
that
up.
We
did
not
include
any
of
those
proposed
changes
in
what
is
before
you
today
that
will
come
about
in
a
in
the
subsequent
phases
of
our
or
work
on
the
definitions,
but
I
know
the
members
of
the
public
were
very
much
interested
in
in
folks
in
the
development.
Community
were
very
much
interested
in
how
we
sort
that
stuff
out
and
that's
the
preview
of
Coming
Attractions
I.
O
Guess
if
you
will
next
slide
so
I
want
to
take
this
time
to
you
know,
thank
you
and
and
certainly
comment,
Cyrus
and
Maya
for
their
hard
work
on
this.
This
is
really
challenging,
sometimes
tedious
stuff,
but
I
appreciate
all
their
hard
work
on
it,
and
I
also
want
to
introduce
Cynthia
Barr
who's.
The
outside
counsel
of
working
with
us
on
this
to
who's
provide
invaluable
Insight.
O
He
knows
you

literally
written
the
book

the
Boston

so
you
may
know
her
and
is
super
familiar
with
all
of
the
challenges
of
this
work,
and
we
have
her
on
on
hand
to
answer
any
questions
that
that
we
can't
handle
with
that.
Welcome
your

we
have
any
questions
comments
from

Hey

congratulations.
This
is
a
really
great.
This
is
a
big
project

very
two
days.
Work

I.
Think
you
did
a
great
job
of
you,
know,
structuring
it
and
the
different
phases
and
gave
us
a
lot
of
assurance
right
in
this
first
phase.
What
we
were
doing
so
it
was
a
really
great
presentation
and
it
made
it
clear
what
you
know
what
this
phase
was
about.
B
R
Thank
you,
madam

some
very
famous

I
present,
the

like
to
personally
thank
Ryan

the
past
nine
years
that
he's
had
at
the
agency
he's
taught
me
a
lot
in
terms
of
regulatory
information
and
we've
had
some
sessions.
Where
you
know,
zoning
has
driven
us
a
little
bit
wild,
but
I
wanted
to
thank
him.
I
know
Brian's,
leaving
at
the
end
of
the
month.
What
I
wanted
to
personally.
R
Thank
him
for
around
the
past
nine
years
that
I've
worked
with
them.
It's
it's
been
an
honor
and
a
privilege.
So
thank
you.
Brian

S
H
B
B
S
Think
about
it,
chairwoman,
over
the
course
of
24
hours,
approximately
1
000
employees
work
at
Boston
with
police
headquarters
located
at
one
Schroeder
Plaza
in
Roxbury,
including
the
9-1-1
dispatch
division.
The
division
has
178
full-time
employees
and
the
operations
floor
is
staffed
by
a
combination
of
Civilian
9-1-1
call
takers
and
police
dispatchers
supported
by
additional
civilian
personnel.
S
Bpd
is
required
to
temporarily
relocate
current
employee
vehicle
parking
from
a
nearby
parking
lot
to
accommodate
construction
and
development
resident
parking.
Only
restrictions
are
in
place
on
multiple
streets
around
Schroeder
Plaza.
Although
a
small
number
of
visitor
parking
spaces,
the
short-term
time
limits
exist,
the
vast
majority
of
the
parking
spaces
are
reserved
for
residents
in
order
to
provide
safe,
unrestricted
parking
for
the
employees
working
at
Police
Headquarters
on
a
temporary
basis.
S
While
respecting
the
neighborhood's
parking
rights.
The
Boston
police
department
has
requested
the
use
of
a
portion
of
land
at
the
Crescent
parcel
and
parcel
P3
owned
by
the
bpda
and
the
Campus
High
School
urban
renewal
area.
The
lessons
premises
will
be
used
exclusively
for
the
purpose
of
supporting
the
Boston
Police
Department
employee
parking.
S
The
licensee
acknowledges
and
agrees
that
both
the
license
premises
are
future
development
sites
and
the
committed
uses
here
in
early
temporary.
We
expect
from
BPD
to
come
up
with
a
longer
term
parking
strategy
that
does
not
impact
residential
parking
and
Community
Development.
They
further
agree
to
maintain
the
license
premises
in
a
clean,
safe
and
orderly
condition
and
repair.
The
Boston
Police
Department
additionally
agrees
to
vacate
the
sites
upon
120-day,
written
notice
from
the
vpda
due
to
the
public
safety
component
of
the
request.
E
Do
we
have
any
sense
of
how
temporary
this
would
be
because
I
know
there
are
concerns
that
displacing
a
number
of
police

Employees
from
these

may
not
be
the
easiest
thing
to
do
once
these
Parcels
are
so
occupied.
S
I
would
suggest
Not
only.
Would
it
not
be
easy.
It's
probably
not
advisable,
it's
good
to
have
people
that
answer.

think,

in
all

This
land
has

low
value

best
suited

the
request
for
a
partial
expansion
to

was

I

Dan
good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of

Cole
Haynes
and
director
Jemison.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Today.
My
name
is
Ricky
Geller
and
I'm.
The
associate
director
of
real
estate
at
Jamaica,
Plain,
neighborhood,
Development
Corporation
I'm
here
today
to
present
the
changes
to
the
approved
Cheney
Street
side.
Next
next
slide,
please.
Y
So
this
slide
provides
a
general
overview
of
the
project.
To
date,
Florida
18
Chaney
street
is
100,
affordable
senior
rental
project.
The
project
first
filed
a
PNF
in
October
of
2020
and
received
article
media
approval
in
September
of
2021..
Following
this
approval,
gpndc
continued
to
meet
with
local
neighborhood
groups
to
seek
their
feedback,
and
it
was
these
conversations
that
really
informed
the
changes
that
we're
presenting
through
this
notice
of
project
change.
Y
The
team
filed
an
NPC
in
March
of
2023
and
the
bpda
held
a
public
meeting
in
April
of
this
year,
during
which
Community
residents
reiterated
their
support
of
the
proposed
changes
which
brings
us
here
to
the
vote
today.
Next
slide,
please
so
here's
a
brief
summary
of
the
changes
from
your
original
scheme.
The
number
of
units
for
the
rental
project
was
reduced
for
from
59
to
48
units.
The
front
yard
setback
was
increased
from
14
feet
to
38
feet
and
the
number
of
parking
spaces
on
the
rental
site
has
been
decreased
from
28
to
25..
Y
However,
the
current
plan
assigns
all
28
25
parking
spaces
to
the
senior
building,
as
opposed
to
the
previous
team.
We
deployed
19
of
those
spaces
for
seniors
and
nine
spaces
for
the
homeownership
units
at
the
adjacent
20
to
28
trainee
site.
The
overall
square
footage
was
also
reduced
next
slide,
please.
Y
So
this
slide
illustrates
priorities
that
are
that
were
identified
by
the
community
groups,
which
are
as
follows.
So
we
were
asked
to
reduce
the
unit
count
to
45
units,
49
units
or
less
to
lower
the
overall
Building
height
and
to
enhance
the
quality
of
life
for
seniors
through
thoughtful
design
and
density.
Y
We
firmly
believe
that
the
current
proposal
successfully
addresses
all
of
these
priorities
and
I'll.
Let
our
design
team
speak
to
those
more
in
detail
in
just
a
second
next
slide.
Please
the
overall
program
reduced
the
number
of
units,
but
we
deepen
the
level
of
affordability
by
increasing
project-based
subsidies
from
20
to
24,
to
make
this
project
more
affordable
to
seniors
next
slide.
Please
now
we'll
now
hand
it
over
to
our
design
team
for
the
rest
of
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
Z
Thanks
Ricky
thanks
everybody.
We
just
have
a
few
slides
here
to
talk
about
the
changes
that
we
made
to
the
project.
The
improvements.
What
you
see
on
the
screen
here
now
is
the
earlier
scheme
that
was
designed.
Initially,
the
building
is
set
close
to
Cheney
Street,
that's
Cheney,
Street
running
up
and
down
the
page
there
on
the
far
right,
the
building's
relatively
close
to
the
street
and
the
driveway
popped
straight
into
the
front
of
the
building.
There's
a
gracious
multi-use
Courtyard
in
the
back.
The
building
is
well
shaped.
Let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
Z
Great,
thank
you.
So
what
we've
done
in
this
for
the
notice
of
project
change
and
as
a
result
of
the
community
input,
is
we've
reduced
the
number
of
units
as
Ricky
shared
earlier,
and
by
doing
in
doing
so,
we
shortened
the
shape
of
the
building,
so
we
were
able
to
put
it
back
from
the
from
Cheney
Street,
as
shown
there
with
the
yellow
arrow
and
the
green
space
in
front.
We've
created
a
really
nice
outdoor
Courtyard
place
for
the
seniors
to
enjoy
and
as
this
transitions
based
from
inside
to
outside.
Z
So
there
was
an
outdoor
Lobby,
it's
also
at
grade
which
it
wasn't
before,
there's
still
an
outdoor
multi-use
Courtyard
in
the
back.
That's
also
good.
We
use
just
to
secure
outdoor
space
for
the
for
the
seniors
we've
also
because
of
the
Shifting,
the
building
back
so
far,
we've
also
been
able
to
shift
the
driveway
out
of
the
front
yard
out
of
the
front
of
the
building.
So
that's
the
small
Black
Arrow
there
on
the
bottom
of
the
page
coming
down
and
turning
into
the
building.
Z
So
those
are
the
the
primary
changes
there
that
we've
made
in
the
scale
and
density
on
the
site
as
a
response
to
community.
Let's
have
a
look
at
the
next
site.
I
think
we
have
a
couple
of
images
of
what
the
building
looks
like
the
images
here
on
the
left
show
with
the
building
looked
like
previously,
where
it's
close
to
the
sidewalk
and
we
had
some
additional
height
on
top.
The
image
here
on
the
right
looks
essentially
the
way
it
is
designed
now.
Z
We've
enclosed
the
garage
area
with
the
driveway
coming
down
here
on
the
far
left
side,
the
building
will
be
clad
in
a
nice
buff,
brick
masonry,
it's
three
and
four
stories:
stepping
up
the
hill.
There
are
other
similar
apartment
buildings
in
the
neighborhood
that
could
fit
in
as
we
step
up
the
hill
like
that
nice
cornice
at
the
landscaped
front
yard,
the
building
is
going
to
be
passive
house.
Z
We're
excited
to
to
increase
the
healthy
homes
here,
for
the
seniors
Ricky
mentioned
that
there
are
mostly
one-bedroom
apartments
and
some
two-bedroom
47
one
bedroom
apartments
are
provided
here.
They're
about
640
square
feet
range
just
over
800
square
feet.
There
are
two
two
bedroom
apartments
that
are
just
over
900
square
feet.
The
parking
is
below
the
building,
it
is
completely
enclosed.
You
can't
see
it
from
the
street.
You
can't
see
it
from
anywhere
it's
mechanically,
ventilated
and
secure,
and
we're
also
really
excited
to
be
including
a
pace
Day
program
here.
AA
Z

B
Okay,
so
does
that
conclude
the
presentation,
I
think
so
great?
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.

and
director

Michael
Sinatra
I've,
seen
the
project
manager
with
development
review.
The
project
before
this
evening
is
3390
Washington
Street
in
Jamaica
Plain.
We
are
seeking
80
article
ADB
Lodge
project
review
approval.
These
the
existing
site
is
the
location
of
BMS
paper
on
a
parcel
of
88
525
square
feet
project
the
proposed
project
contemplates
keeping
the
existing
business
but
constructing
82
units
of
residential
rental
housing.
In
a
new
neighborhood
restaurant
and
other
retail
space.
AC
There
will
be
87
parking
spaces
associated
with
the
project
shared
amongst
the
residential
and
the
commercial,
because
the
project
is
located
within
JP
rocks.
The
proponent
will
be
including
the
required
20
IDP
it'll
be
23
to
be
exact
for
a
total
of
19
units,
as
well
as
designing
the
buildings
to
lead
gold
certification.
AC
The
gross
floor
area
for
the
project
will
be
129
525
with
an
far
1.46
and
a
maximum
height
of
68.9
feet,
and
the
total
development
cost
would
be
47
million.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
Kathleen
Oliver
from
the
planning
department
to
run
through
the
planning
context
and
then
over
to
the
proponent,
to
run
through
with
your
presentation,
after
which
we'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
AD
The
planning
context
for
this
project
is
set
by
the
in
the
planned
JP
Rock
study
area,
and
one
of
the
most
important
recommendations
of
this
plan
is
achieving
at
least
20
income
restricted
housing
and
at
23.
This
proposal
exceeds
the
recommendations
of
the
plan.
The
proposed
development
program
effectively
achieves
the
plan's
two
primary
land
use
goals,
producing
new
housing
on
vacant
and
underutilized
land
with
the
folk,
and
also
a
focus
on
retaining
existing
local
businesses
plan.
AD
Jp
racks
identifies
this
location
as
a
development
Focus
area,
where
a
height
of
up
to
six
stories
is
appropriate,
also
reuses.
The
existing
building
log
washing
tree
helping
to
retain
historic
fabric,
the
proposed
site
plan
and
public
realm
improvements
are
consistent
with
the
planning
recommendations
for
on-site
open
space,
as
well
as
complete
streets
and
active
ground
floor
use
along
Washington
Street,
as
envisioned
in
the
plan.
The
project
also
includes
a
number
of
Mobility
features
consisted
with
planned,
JP,
rack's
recommendations.
AD
An
unbundled
parking
program
where
parking
spots
are
rented
separately
from
housing
units
to
car
free
households
can
save
on
parking
costs,
provision
of
a
blue
bike
station,
a
new
crosswalk,
a
curb
extension
and
through
block
pedestrian
connections.
Thank
you
and
I'll.
Now
turn
it
over
to

client,
the
owner
and
operator
of
BMS
paper
in
Jamaica
Plain
and
David
O'sullivan
and
Donnie
Garrity
of
O'sullivan
Architects,
we'll
be
brief.
Bob
has
been
in
this
community
for
decades,
he's
been
the
proprietor
of
BMS
paper.
If
you've
never
been,
we
recommend
you
to
come
down.
AE
He
has
hired
locally
he's
been
a
part
of
the
fabric
of
this
community
for
an
awful
long
time
and
we're
at
a
very
wonderful
location,
really
right
smack
in
the
middle
of
Eggleston
square
and
Forest
Hills
on
the
Washington
Street
Corridor
we're
thrilled
to
be
here
tonight.
After
a
robust
process,
Bob
and
I
began
meeting
with
neighbors
pre-pandemic
on-site,
and
here
we
are
and
we're
thrilled
to
come
before
you
with
some
much
needed
housing
for
the
corridor,
including
IDP
units,
also
an
expansion
of
the
existing
retail
and
some
new
restaurant
in
amenity
space.
AF
AF
The
site
is
adjacent
to
the
new
Pine
Street
development,
which
is
directly
to
our
North.
We
share
a
driveway
with
the
Pine
Street
development.
The
existing
building
along
Washington
is
being
retained
and
being
renovated.
AF
AF
AF
This
bird's
eye
view
looking
back
towards
Washington
Street,
which
is
in
the
far
distance,
there
is
Forestdale
apartments
behind
us.
That's
three
spray
garden
with
a
big
parking
lot.
We've
tried
to
address
that
with
a
building,
that's
a
similar
scale
to
them.
In
the
back
where
it's
built
to
the
hill,
we
have
an
amenity
space
for
our
residence,
that's
on
top
of
the
parking
garage
you
see
on
the
right
side
and
you
kind
of
peek
into
our
Courtyard
next.
AF
AF
This
is
on
our
South
End.
We
have
a
new
enhanced
entrance
where
the
EMS
paper
and
above
it
we're
taking
the
vacant
space
on
the
second
floor
and
creating
a
new
restaurant
use
for
the
project.
This
entrance
now
has
a
new
driveway
that
we've
contained
an
easement
from
eversource
and
allowed
us
to
do
a
landscape
Courtyard
lieu
of
the
parking
lot
that
was
in
front
of
the
building
before
enhanced
the
Washington
Street
Experience
next
slide.
AF
AF
This
is
the
entrance
between
our
building
in
the
Pine
Street
is
to
the
left.
We've
created
a
new
our
cut
into
the
building
to
create
a
new
entrance
for
the
restaurant
space.
Up
above
that
lead,
the
recessed
entrance
gives
People
Protected
area
to
rent
weight
rides
Etc.
It
leads
you
up
into
the
restaurant
space.
That's
on
the
second
floor,
there's
a
Lobby
circulation,
Monumental
stair.
More
importantly,
just
to
the
left
of
that,
because
we
have
a
narrow,
hot
driveway,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
provided
protected
pedestrian
access.
AF
This
is
the
entrance
at
the
end
of
the
arcade
it
kind
of
opens
up
and
there's
the
entrance
to
the
front
building
residences.
You
can
see
how
we
try
to
demarcate
bike
Lanes.
There
is
also
several
areas
of
outdoor
biking
bike
places,
because
we
feel
that
a
lot
of
the
people
coming
to
BMS
and
the
restaurants
will
want
to
use
bike
transportation,
hopefully
to
enhance
so
that
we
have
both
automobile
and
pedestrian
and
bike
access
to
the
site.
AF
Next
I,
don't
know
if
you,
the
courtyard,
shows
the
kind
of
north
entrance
to
BMS
paper
so
that
people
coming
here
EMS
has
a
lot
of
bulk.
It's
kind
of
a
BJ's,
City
type
BJ's.
So
there's
a
lot
of
old
purchases,
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
sufficient
parking
and
drop-off
areas,
pickup
areas
for
it
connected
to
the
entrance
here.
AF
AF
Entrance
to
the
ACT
residential
you'll
notice
that
we
provided
a
lot
of
balconies
on
most
units
for
a
private
outdoor
space,
overlooking
this
common
exterior
public
space
in
the
back
corner.
You
can't
see
it,
but
we
have
also
provided
a
through
block
pedestrian
access
from
the
forest
ill
Apartments
into
our
project,
Courtyard,
which
then
leads
to
Washington
Street
and
not
having
them
have
to
go
several
blocks
around
to
get
from
Washington
Street
businesses
up
to
their
units
that
are
existing
residential
and
the
neighborhood
behind
next
again,
another
goal
of
ours.
AF
Next,
this
is
our
amenity
for
the
residents.
We
covered
the
top
of
the
parking
area
partially
with
the
work
units
in
order
to
provide
a
large
outdoor
space
adjacent
to
it
as
an
indoor
amenity
space.
This
is
for
the
82
res
82
residential
units,
giving
them
a
nice
outdoor
space
and
also
look
in
the
view
from
Pine
Street
to
look
into
something
nice
not
into
a
parking
or
looking
down
at
cars,
and
you
can
see
it's
a
bottom
level
with
the
Forestdale
parking
lot,
so
it
kind
of
ties
the
developments
together.
AF
AF
AF
This
is
just
a
facade.
We
did
work
with
the
ppda
staff,
so
you
can
see
that
we
use
balconies
to
break
up
the
massing
and
different
materials
on
different
sections
and
that
arcade
along
the
bottom
to
let
visitors
have
you
know:
protected
space,
Portico
Reese
s,
entry
for
the
residential.
B
Okay,
great,
do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
E
Appreciate
your
attention
to
detail
on
the
Landscaping
of
this
parcel,
it's
nicely
done.
Thank
you.

I
am
Maggie
Cherry
housing
policy
manager,
I'm
here
before
you
today
on
27
Dixwell

in
Jamaica
Plain.
This
is
a
12
unit,
rental
project
that
received
its
Zoning
Board
of
appeal,
approval
on
March
28
2023
and
does
not
require
article
80
approval.
This
project
is
here
before
you
today,
because
it
will
provide
two
income,
restricted,
inclusionary
development
policy
units.
Your
vote
today
is
to
authorize
the
execution
of
an
affordable

Ade,
small
project,
review
of
the
zoning
code
or
the
project
change
of
the
construction
of
49
residential
units,
including
seven
IDP
units
up
to
44
parking
spaces
located
at
375,
Cummins,
Cummins
Highway
in
Roslindale,
and

Okay,.
AG
Good
evening
and
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
bohemus
and
director
Jefferson,
my
name
is
Scott
greenhal
and
I'm.
A
project
assistant
with
development
review.
The
Proposal
before
you
this
evening,
is
a
notice
of
project
change
or
NPC
for
the
previously
approved
project
at
375,
Commons
Highway
in
Roslindale.
AG
This
project
was
originally
board
approved
in
November
of
2020..
Today
the
project
is
seeking
changes
to
the
ownership,
as
well
as
the
parking
and
affordable
unit
mix
of
the
previously
approved
project.
The
Proposal
entails
changes
in
ownership
to
375,
Cummins
LLC
and
a
reduction
of
parking
spaces
from
up
to
61
to
up
to
44
parking
spaces.
Additionally,
this
MPC
proposes
increasing
the
number
of
IDP
units
from
the
previously
approved
six
to
seven
of
the
49
total
residential
units.
AG
The
proposed
seven
IDP
units
will
be
made
affordable
to
households
earning
not
more
than
70
percent
of
the
area,
median
income
or
Ami
now
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Rick
Schmidt
from
the
development
team.
To
begin,
the
presentation,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
public,
elected
officials
and
City
agencies
who
helped
review
the
proposed
375
Commons
Highway
notice
of
project
change.
Thank
you.
R
Scott
I
think
Rick
has
to
be
made
a
panelist.
Is
he.
AI
Shall
I
take
this
genre?
Is
there
anything
you
wanted
to
say
all
right
here?
Here's
an
overall
site
plan
indicating
where
our
site
in
yellow
is
we're
adjacent
to
Mount
Calvary
Cemetery
across
Cummins,
Highway
Cummins
highway
is
running
kind
of
east
west
in
front
of
our
site
and
to
the
Southwest.
We
have
American
Legion
Highway
and
we're
a
budding
the
shopping
center,
where
Stop
and
Shop
is
to
our
Southwest
next
slide.
AI
So
here's
a
view
from
Cummins
Highway
looking
towards
where
our
site
will
have
Frontage
on
Cummins
Highway,
there's
an
existing
Electrical
station
to
our
right,
Mount,
Calvary
Cemetery
across
the
street,
and
then
the
entrance
is
a
Stop
and
Shop
is
adjacent
to
our
site.
Next
slide,
here's
a
view
from
the
Stop
and
Shop
plaza,
looking
at
where
our
site
will
be
one
of
the
major
initiatives
that
we
have
is
to
maintain
as
much
of
the
existing
vegetation
as
possible
on
the
site.
Next
slide:
here's
a
site
plan
of
our
proposal.
AI
What
we're
looking
to
do
is
keep
the
building
oriented
towards
Cummins
Highway,
set
back
with
additional
planting
new
Street
trees
on
a
ornamental
Plaza
for
the
residents
to
gather
is
an
amenity
space.
We've
tried
to
minimize
the
impact,
Vehicles
would
have
along
Cummins
Highway.
We've
got
a
discrete
driveway
entering
the
site
and
we're
looking
to
maintain
the
majority
of
the
existing
Urban
trees
on
the
north
west
of
the
site
next
slide.
AI
So
here's
a
view
of
what
you'd
see
from
Cummins
Highway
the
building
has
a
masonry
front,
presenting
itself
to
Cummins
Highway
we've
got
a
room
for
visitor
bicycles.
There
we've
got
the
amenity
space
for
the
entrance
of
the
residents
of
the
building
to
enter
into
it.
There's
a
discrete
vehicular
entrance,
we've
recessed
the
sixth
floor
to
minimize
the
scale
of
the
building,
and
we've
tried
to
provide
balconies
indoor
decks
for
the
majority
of
the
units
in
the
building
next
slide.
AI
You
can
see
here:
A
View,
From,
Stop
and
Shop
plaza
as
you're
looking
at
our
building
the
setback
on
the
sixth
floor,
mitigating
the
the
height
of
the
building
and
we've
ghosted
in
the
existing
trees
that
are
actually
on
the
Stop
and
Shop
property,
which
will
serve
as
a
screen
to
our
building
and
then
we're
supplementing
that
with
additional
planting
around
the
perimeter
of
the
building
and
I.
Believe.
That's
it
and
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
that
anyone
might
have.
B
B
Okay:
item
number
request:
authorization
to
issue
scoping
determination,
waving
further
review
pursuant
to
article
80
large
project
review
of
the
zoning
code
for
the
construction
of
127
residential
rental
units,
including
16
income,
restricted
units,
2,
914
square
feet
of
retail
space,
152
parking
spaces
and
127
bicycle
spaces
located
at
2H
Street
and
to
take
all
related
actions.
Michael.
Thank.
AC
You
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
paulimus
and
Durango
Jemison,
again,
I'm
Michael,
Sinatra
senior
project
manager
with
development
review.
The
project
before
you
this
evening
is
2
8th
Street
in
South
Boston.
We
are
seeking
an
ADB
Lodge
project
review
approval
for
this
project.
This
project
was
previously
approved
back
in
2012,
it's
back
before
us
with
the
notice
of
product
change
just
due
to
a
lapse
of
time.
AC
The
NPC
proposal
is
exactly
the
same
as
what
was
approved
back
in
2012.,
it's
an
as
of
right
project
with
the
same
unit
mix
of
127,
rentals,
same
number
of
parking,
spaces
of
152
and
127
bike
spaces
and
the
same
dimensions,
133,
000,
gross
gross
square
feet
of
floor
area,
far
2.02
and
three
stories
in
height,
as
well
as
2
900
square
feet
of
retail.
However,
the
only
difference
in
this
case
is
the
opponent
has
agreed
to
voluntarily
provide
income
restricted
units.
AC
13
of
the
units
will
be
at
Workforce
levels
of
100
between
100
and
120
of
Ami
I'll
turn
over
to
the
development
team
to
run
through
their
presentation
and
we'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
after
the
conclusion.
Thank
you.
AK
Yeah,
thank
you.
Mike
good
afternoon,
Madam
chair
board
members,
director
Jameson
secretary
Paul,
emis

Today
is
Peter
zagorianakis
from
8th,
Street
Associates
LLC,
who
is
the
proponent
and
project
developer,
as
Mike
mentioned,
this
is
an
NPC
for
a
project
originally
approved
Years
Ago
by
this
board
or
previous
version
of
this
board.
It's
an
as
of
right
project
under
the
zoning
code.
The
only
change
today
is
the
addition
of
that
voluntary,
affordable
component
of
16,
affordable
rental
units
on
site.
AK
Otherwise
this
project
is
shovel
ready,
financed
and
ready
for
construction.
We'd
like
to
thank
bpda
staff
Mike
and
his
staff,
as
well
as
the
South
Boston
elected
delegation
and
Community,
for
their
continued
input
on
the
project
and
I
will
toss
it
over
to
Peter
to
very
quickly
go
through
a
brief
presentation.
Thank
you.
Peter.
All
yours
thank.
AL
You
very
much
exactly
sorry
next
slide,
I
want
to
thank
the
board
in
the
VRA
for
all
the
resistance
here.
This
project
is
located.
It's
a
60,
000
square
foot
Block,
it's
got
four.
It's
got
rose
on
all
four
sides:
East
first
8th
Street,
second
and
Vicksburg,
and
it's
the
transition
between
the
residential
South,
Boston,
residential
neighborhood
and
the
industrial
side
of
East
Hurst
Street
next
slide
industrial
side.
We
have
Cobb
and
United
Rental
across
from
us
and
on
the
residential
side
we
have
anywhere
from
a
three
to
six
story:
residential
buildings.
AL
Many
of
them
are
brand
new
buildings.
Next
slide,
please
we
have
127
units
mixed
of
one
twos
and
threes.
With
a
mixture
of
16,
affordable
units.
We
have
152
parking
spaces,
we
have
132
bike
spaces
in.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
42
guest
bike
spaces
and
we
just
added
a
a
blue
bike
station
on
East
1st
Street
next
slide.
AL
We
will
have
to
revise
our
pick
plan
because
we
just
added
a
bike
station
to
East
First
Street,
but
all
the
sidewalks
now
are
are
working
with
the
with
the
New
Boston
City
sidewalk
codes,
so
they're,
all
five
foot,
walkable
accessible
sidewalks
with
trees
and
bike
racks
on
the
sidewalks
next
slide.
Please,
these
are
the
elevations.
We
are
actually
a
three-story
building
from
East,
2nd
Street
in
a
four-story
building
from
East
First
Street.
We
have
retail
on
East
1st
Street
with
which
activates
the
street.
AL
When
we
try
to
keep,
we
stayed
within
the
zoning
code.
The
new
zoning
code,
article
68
way
back
then

Please
we
are

Our
our
design
actually
has
a

to
break
up
the
massing
of
the
building
next

Please.
AL
AL
This
is.
This
is
again
the
activation
of
the
retail
along
East
First
Street.
Our
parking
garage
entrance
is
along
East,
1st

It
is
an
underground
garage
that
also
has
25
ZD
Ed
rated
for
parking
or
wife
EV
and
the
rest
of
it
is
actually

will
be
put
in
so
100
could
be
easy.
We
also
in
this
building.
We
have
passive
house
certification,
so
we
will
be
a
passive

The
MPC
filed
at
the
BPA
on
April
4th
2023
proposes
to
break
up
the
project
into
two
phases.
Along
with
a
rehabilitation
element
of
the
existing
building
phase,
one
would
comprise
the
rehab
of
the
existing
building,
as
well
as
the
Reconstruction
of
the
parking
ramp.
The
redesign
of
the
dry
dock,
Black,
Falcon,
intersection
and
other
site
improvements
within
the
existing
building
between
approximately
45
to
135
000
square
feet
would
be
renovated
to
accommodate
lab
or
research
and
development
uses.
Phase
two
would
comprise
the
construction
of
the
previously
approved
vertical
Edition.
AM
An
ieg
meeting
was
held
with
the
Marine
Park
Business
Association,
which
serves
as
the
de
facto
iag
for
article
80
projects
in
the
Marine
Park,
after
which
the
association
submitted
a
letter
of
support
before
I
turn
it
over
to
Mike,
candelupa
and
Chris
chandor
from
the
development
team
to
begin
their
presentation,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
public,
elected
officials
and
City
agencies
who
helped
review
this
notice
of
project
change.
Thank
you.
AN
Thank
you,
Aaron
Madam,
chair
members
of
the
board
director
Jameson
secretary
behemus.
My
name
is
Chris
shandor
and
I'm
senior
vice
president
of
development,
with
the
Davis
companies
I'm
joined
by
Mike
tanlupa,
who
is
our
chief
development
officer
and
I
believe
members
of
massport
are
probably
on
as
well.
This
is
the
mass
Court
ground
lease
we're
here
before
you
today,
as
Aaron
has
already
summarized
to
discuss
a
notice
of
project
change
for
88
Black
Falcon.
AN
AN
This
is
a
view
of
the
project.
Looking
back
towards
the
skyline
of
Boston,
as
you
can
see,
we're
at
the
end
of
the
pier,
where
the
most
furthest
most
point
in
the
Marine
Park,
the
cruise
terminal
is
behind
us
as
well
as
IBB.
You
can
see
the
four
silos
there
of
coastal
cement.
In
the
background
immediate
background
as
well.
This
is
a
water
dependent
industrial
site.
The
cruise
terminal
also
docks
cruise
ships
here
at
88,
Black
Falcon
during
peak
season
next
slide.
Please
another
view.
AN
Now
from
the
southwest
the
project
there
is
outlined
in
red,
we
do
have
a
a
small
easement
agreement
with
the
edic
to
allow
trucks
to
get
to
our
loading
docks
in
the
back
of
the
property.
Next
slide,
please.
So
why
are
we
here
for
a
notice
of
project
change?
I've
brought
up
some
economic
data
to
share
with
you.
We
are
still
100
a
believer
in
this
project.
AN
However,
as
you
are
sure
well
aware,
there
have
been
some
changes
in
the
life
science
Market
over
the
past
year
or
so,
as
we
just
quickly
scale
down
some
of
these
stats.
15
months
ago,
there
were
almost
4
million
square
feet
of
tenants
in
the
market
today
that
has
dropped
significantly
to
just
over
a
million
square
feet
of
tenant
demand.
AN
Vacancy
is
actually
still
reasonably
low,
but
availability
continues
to
increase,
availability
being
a
factor
of
projects
being
delivered
but
have
not
been
released.
Yet
absorption
has
slowed,
rents
are
holding
relatively
steady.
We
think
they
have
not
been
growing
as
rapidly
as
they
were
in
2020
and
2021,
and
really
that's
the
big
number.
There
is
the
supply
pipeline,
which
is
continued
to
grow
from
15
million
square
feet
in
the
end
of
2021
to
over
16
million
square
feet.
Today.
AN
If
you
look
back
up
at
the
number
of
tenants
in
the
market,
the
amount
of
time
it
would
take
to
absorb
all
that
new
space
coming
to
Market
has
increased
four-fold
at
this
point.
Construction
costs
did
not
help
us
this
cost
of
this
project
has
grown.
This
is
just
core
shell
renovation
costs.
This
is
not
total
project
cost
by
approximately
a
hundred
dollars.
AN
AN
So
this
is
the
proposed
site
plan
in
Phase,
One
and
what's
nice
about
this
is
It's
really
substantially
the
same
as
the
proposed
site
plan
for
the
full
build.
We
are
doing
all
of
the
site
improvements,
the
mitigation
associated
with
this
project
in
phase
one,
the
major
Improvement
being
the
realignment
of
the
Black
Falcon
Ave,
Dry
Dock
out
of
intersection
and
all
Associated
improvements
there.
This
is
a
big
big
benefit
for
massport.
AN
The
parking
lot
in
between
our
parcel
and
the
Flynn
cruise
port
to
the
plan
left
is
being
enlarged
by
over
50
percent.
This
is
a
major
staging
area
for
massport
on
days
when
multiple
cruise
ships
are
important,
we'll
be
tearing
down
the
existing
ramp
and
building
a
new
one
nestling
it
into
the
side
of
the
building,
creating
some
Ada
accessible
bathrooms
underneath
the
ramp
for
for
the
public
and
passengers
getting
on
and
off
cruise
ships.
Some
storage
area
for
massport
there
we're
creating
a
new
traffic
tower
for
Coastal
cement,
our
adjacent
water
dependent
industrial
user.
AN
That
will
be
an
improved
MBTA
silver
line.
Bus,
stop
fully
Ada
accessible
access
up
into
our
building,
which
does
not
exist
today.
When
a
third
cruise
ship
is
in
town,
it's
very
difficult
for
folks
to
get
into
this
building,
they
have
to
walk
up
the
ramp
next
slide.
Please,
the
changes
in
this
are
subtle.
This
would
be
the
full
build
out.
As
you
can
see,
there's
been
no
change
to
the
black
clap
now
drydock
Ave
intersection.
AN
What
has
changed
would
be
the
additional
parking
that's
necessary
to
create
to
support
the
expansion
on
Floors
four
through
seven.
The
only
other
change
to
the
site
in
phase
two
would
be
the
new
elevator
Towers
on
the
south
side
that
are
that
are
barely
visible
in
the
site
plan.
One
last
thing:
I
would
call
your
attention
to
at
plan
right
the
public
Overlook
deck.
Obviously,
if
we're
not
building
the
full
parking
deck
extension,
we
cannot
build
a
hundred
percent
of
the
overlooked
deck.
AN
AN
This
is
just
a
comparison
of
the
existing
to
pose
next
slide.
Please
these
are
renderings
of
the
building,
pretty
much
as
it
exists
today
and
the
phase
one
Renovations
would
not
make
any
significant
changes
to
these
elevations
next
slide.
Please,
these
are
the
elevations
for
the
full
build
out
in
phase
two
and
again,
these
elevations
are
consistent
with
what
was
shown
and
approved
in
May
of
2021
next
slide,
please.
AN
This
is
a
rendering
looking
from
towards
the
east,
you
can
see
a
cruise
ship
there
tied
up
outside
of
our
building.
It
really
does
look
like
that.
Sometimes
all
of
the
intersection
improvements
have
been
completed
in
the
foreground.
Only
the
building
Edition
on
the
top
has
not
been
completed
in
phase
one
next
slide.
Please,
and
in
this
iteration
you
can
see
the
previously
approved
four-story
Edition
has
been
constructed
and
the
parking
deck
expansion
has
been
constructed.

Thank
you
good

Thank
you
for

time.
Today,
the
project
I
bring
before

today
is
900
Marcy
Boulevard,
located
in
the
Park
Norfolk
neighborhood
of
Dorchester
on
November
4th
2022,
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
agency
received
a
small
project
review
application
from
the
proponent.
The
proponent
is
proposing
to
renovate
an
existing
Hotel
into
a
residential
building
with
up
to
99
compact
rental
Studio
units.
C
The
99
compact
rental
Studio
units
will
be
income
restricted
to
individuals
with
incomes
at
or
below
30
percent
of
area
medium
income.
The
proposed
project
will
also
have
approximately
3451
square
feet
of
shared
space
up
to
33,
surface
level
parking
spaces
as
well
as
adequate
bike
storage

apologies,
May
1st
2023
I
held
a
virtual
public
meetings
for
the
project.
Both
virtual
public
meetings
were
well
attended.
The
virtual
public
meetings
were
advertised
in
the
local
paper
and
via
email.
C
The
meeting
was
advertised
in

update
list.
The
bbda
comment
period
ended
for
the
project
on
January
6
2023.
Lastly,
the
proponent
submitted
a
121a
project
application
for
the
proposal
on
March
10th
2023.
shortly
I
will
pass
it
over
to
Astrid.
Astrid
is
a
planner
for
this
section
of
Dorchester.
Astrid
will
touch
on
the
planning
context
for
this
project.
C
AP
AP
The
proposed
project
is
not
located
within
the
boundaries
of
a
recent
planning
initiative.
Instead,
bpda
planning
staff
consider
the
neighborhood
context:
the
magic
boss
in
2030
housing,
a
changing
City
and
the
zoning
code
to
review
the
project.
The
project
is
located
in
the
coastal
flood,
resilience
overlay
district
and
complies
with
the
overlay
districts
requirements.
AP
The
project
is
consistent
with
the
city
of
Boston's
goals,
of
providing
affordable
housing
for
bostonians,
supporting
mixed
income
communities
and
increasing
access
to
opportunity
through
the
Project's
Supportive
Services
Additionally.
The
project
is
in
line
with
the
overarching
theme
of
housing,
a
changing
City,
the
protecting
households
and
individuals
most
at
risk.

I
just
want
to
make
sure
lindia
Downey
from

was
going
to
be
part

I
don't
see

that
would
be
great,
otherwise

developer
of
the
property
and
the
Pine
Street
Inn.
AQ
Who
is
really
the
gold
standard
working
with
chronically
homeless
individuals
we'll
be
providing
services
to
the
individuals?
Who
would
be
the
tenants
of
the
property?
AQ
So
we're
really
happy
to
do
that
here
at
the
site
to
propose
that
we
are
also
the
Pine
City
and
the
Community
Builders
are
doing
a
similar
development
in
Jamaica.
Plain
makes
the
bpda
board
approved
about
three
years
ago,
and
so
we're
happy
to
continue
that
here
again,
as
others
have
stated,
the
idea
is
to
have
99
permanent
studio
apartments,
24
7
on-site
Community,
with
property
management,
resident
amenities
and
support
services.
AQ
Next
slide.
Please
so
lindia
could
talk
about
this
part
much
better
than
me,
but
as
the
Pine
stream
will
be
providing
the
the
services
on
the
at
the
property.
But,
as
you
can
see,
there's
going
to
be
a
combination
of
case
management
evening
and
overnight
Staffing,
Behavior,
Health
and
Resident
engagement
and
a
large
part
of
the
Pine
Street
Inn
staff.
AQ
It
is
has
that
expertise
and
will
be
providing
that
and
really
again
in
combination
with
the
permanent
housing.
It
really
creates
really
positive
outcomes.
AQ
The
next
slide
is
about
the
population,
so
you
know,
we've
had,
as
folks
I'm
sure
have
seen,
there's
been
a
bunch
of
opposition.
That's
come
out
about
the
project
and
we've
really
tried
to
listen
to
that
opposition
and
try
to
address
the
project
in
a
variety
of
ways.
The
biggest
important
ways
that
we've
committed
to
having
a
senior
preference
on
the
project.
AQ
So,
even
though,
right
now
in
Pine,
Street
Inn,
which
has
850
or
so
Apartments,
just
like
this
in
many
parts
of
the
city
and
the
average
age
of
the
tenants,
are
57
at
this
project
where
we've
committed
to
have
a
senior
preference
where,
where
we
would
first
go
through
the
full
list
of
folks
who
are
62
and
older,
who
are
chronically
homeless
and
only
after
that,
if
we
exhaust
that
list-
and
there
are
at
least
250
folks
on
that
list-
who
are
62
and
older-
and
we
would
go
to
only
after
that,
if
we
happen
to
have
additional
spots
when
we
go
to
a
younger
chronically
homeless
population
and
again,
these
are
very
low
income
individuals.
AQ
You
can
see
the
income
levels
that
is
typical
in
Pine
Street
housing
on
the
slide.
So
the
next
slide
shows
a
community
process.
As
Stephen
talked
about.
We
went
through
the
typical
small
project
review
process
with
well-attended
meetings,
but
even
before
that,
at
least
three
months
before
that
we
started
to
have
our
own
Community
process,
because
we
really
wanted
to
make
sure
we
were
being
transparent
with
the
neighborhood
and
and
talking
to
folks
and
answering
questions
that
folks
had.
AQ
At
the
BPA
meeting
that
was
held
last
week,
the
last
official
article
80
meeting
more
folks
spoke
out
in
favor
than
spoke
out
against
and
as
I'm
sure
people
remembers
have
seen
the
packet
of
information,
and
there
was
a
very
large
number
of
letters.
An
email
sent
and
upwards
of
250
people
spoke
in
favor
of
the
project.
AQ
So
next
I
want
to
just
go
into
the
specifics
of
the
of
the
property,
so
this
is
an
aerial
view
of
the
site
you
can
see
where
the
current
comfort
in
is
the
site,
is,
you
know,
surrounded
by
Redline
tracks,
Morrissey
Boulevard
itself,
and
while
it
is
near
residential
neighborhoods,
the
immediate
Butters
are
all
commercial
commercial
businesses.
AQ
AQ
The
next
slide.
This
is
a
side
of
what
we
propose
to
do
for
the
ground
floor.
So
we
had
originally
one
of
the
another
form
of
responding
to
the
neighborhood
was
to
reduce
the
number
of
apartments
that
we're
proposing.
Currently,
there
are
131
hotel
rooms
in
the
building,
and
we
had
originally
posed
proposed
around
110
and
now
we're
we
have
reduced
that
to
99..
So
there
are
currently
some
space,
some
hotel
rooms.
On
the
ground
floor.
We
plan
to
100
to
fully
renovate
the
ground
floor.
AQ
You
can
see
that
there's
a
security
desk,
there's
one
entrance
into
and
out
of
the
building
security
we
know
is
a
large
concern
for
folks,
and
so
we
also
have
24
7
security
and
a
security
desk,
and
so
everybody
who
enters
the
building
will
have
to
go
and
check
in
with
the
security
desk.
If
you
go
to
the
left,
you
can
see
that
we
have
Property
Management
space,
so
the
Community
Builders
we
will
have
Property
Management
staff
on
site
and
so
there's
office
space
and
meeting
room
space
for
property
management.
AQ
Next,
the
Pinkus
color
shows
the
common
areas,
so
the
apartments
which
I'll
show
on
the
next
slide
are
small
studio
apartments.
So
there's
it's
important
for
us
to
have
common
area
space
for
all
the
residents
to
gather
together,
or
you
know,
to
gather
not
not
in
their
own
apartments
and
then
on.
The
far
left
is
social
service
space.
AQ
H
AQ
Ideal
size
for
the
Pine
Street
in
the
type
of
housing
that
they
have
for
chronically
homeless
individuals,
the
main
renovation
that
we're
doing
in
the
units
is
to
add
kids
to
Nets,
so
every
every
apartment
will
have
its
own
kitchen
at
its
own.
Bathroom
there's
certainly
been
some
confusion.
Some
people
have
understood
that
what
we're
proposing
is
shelter
space.
This
is
not
at
all
a
shelter.
AQ
It's
a
it's
permanent
Supportive
Housing,
again,
everybody
will
have
their
own
kitchen
and
bathroom
people
will
assign
leases,
there's
a
very
involved,
tenant
selection
process
and
screening
process,
including
Corey
and
story
reports.
So
this
is
this
is
permanent,
Supportive
Housing.
It
is
not
shelter
at
all,
and
you
can
see.
This
is
the
kind
of
studio
apartments
that
will
be
on
the
upper
floors,
but
we're
also
having
common
areas
based
on
many
of
the
upper
floors
where
folks
can
gather
outside
of
their
Apartments.
H
AQ
This
is
a
population
that
is
incredibly
rare
for
anybody
coming
out
of
chronic
homelessness
to
have
a
car,
so
we
are
able
to
reduce
the
amount
of
parking
spaces
on
the
site
is
currently
you
know
as
appropriate
for
a
hotel,
a
lot
of
parking
for
in
and
out
folks
that
are
coming
one
night
or
wherever
along
their
stay
is,
but
we're
able
to
reduce
that.
Certainly
there's
still
enough
spaces
for
staff
and
visitors
to
be
there,
but
we're
improving
Green
Space
a
number
of
ways.
AQ
As
folks
mentioned
earlier,
there
are
currently
three
curb
cuts
to
the
site:
two
on
Marcy
Boulevard,
one
on
Connolly
Street
and
with
working
with
the
bpda.
We
are
on
board
with
and
now
proposed
to
get
rid
of,
both
of
the
curb
cuts
on
Morrissey
Boulevard,
and
so
all
the
traffic
will
come
in
and
out
off,
Conley
Street
and
it
makes
for
a
much
better
driving
and
pedestrian
experience.
We're
also
creating
a
bunch
of
Green
Space,
adding
trees.
AQ
You
can
see
there's
a
open
area
setback,
a
healthy
amount
from
RC
Boulevard,
but
it
was
still
a
good
place
for
residents
to
to
rest
or
just
hang
out
in
a
green
space
on
the
site.
We
also
again
taking
security
seriously.
We
have
proposing
fences
on
the
right
and
the
left
of
the
building
to
prevent
any
residents
or
non-residents
from
doing
anything
behind
the
building,
though
there
will
be
lighting
and
again
24-hour
security
and
another
Improvement
that
we're
doing
is
to
improve
the
sidewalk
on
Conley
street.
So
for
all
of
the
site.
AQ
It's
a
better
experience
for
everybody,
so
just
to
wrap
it
up.
You
know
again,
we
have
been
out
in
the
community
talking
about
this
project
for
a
long
time
trying
to
respond
to
a
bunch
of
the
concerns
added.
A
senior
preference
and
response
to
concerns
reduce
the
number
of
apartments,
and
we
really
feel
like
this
permanent
Supportive
Housing.
So
again,
combining
housing
with
Support
Services
is
a
really
strong,
positive,
positive
addition
to
the
neighborhood
into
the
City,
and
thank
you
all
very
much.
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation,
so
this
is
a
public
hearing.
So
before
we
go
to
the
folks
who
have
raised
their
hands
I
believe
there
are
some
elected
officials
that
would
like
to
give
some
comments
so.
AR
Hello
good
evening,
everyone
can,
you
see
an
Emmy
yep
good
evening,
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Council
Frank
Vega
from
District
three
I'm
here
in
opposition
of
this
project,
who
has
no
no
like
this
is
an
opposition
to
pine
tree
Andy
Waxman
had
mentioned.
There
was
a
meeting
with
200
people.
AR
That
meeting
was
close
to
the
500
or
600
people
and
nearly
every
person
that
did
not
want
this
I'm
standing
with
my
community
on
this
one
I
also
think
that
it's
a
it's,
not
a
real
good
area
for
people
that
are
probably
not
the
most
mobile
you've
got
a
six-lane
highway
in
front
of
you
and
you've
got
train
tracks
in
the
back
and,
and
one
of
my
big
concerns
is
I.
AR
Don't
have
Surety
from
the
city
as
as
the
mass
and
cast
problem,
ripples
out,
and
it's
all
over
my
neighborhood
now
I
don't
have
surety
that
that
type
of
that
the
people
that
are
going
to
be
leaving
The
Roundhouse,
because
around
house
has
been
found
to
not
be
a
strategy
that
works.
AR
A
AS
You
good
evening
thank
you,
chair,
Rojas
members
of
the
board
and
director
Jemison
I'm
here
to
speak
this
evening
after
receiving
a
lot
of
feedback
on
900
Morrissey.
AS
AS
Opposition
to
this
I
can
say
that
sure
holds
off
the
feedback
that
received
in
the
flesh
into
my
office
and
not
because
the
people
who
aren't
compassionate
or
people
of
Goodwill,
they
have
legitimate
concerns,
and
we
see
that
worn
out
in
statistics
and
some
of
those
are
from
facilities
or
programs
that
we've
been
used
by
the
proponents
as
the
model,
but
Ramada
Inn
around
the
corner
is
going
to
incredible
nuisance,
but
123
Hamilton
Street
at
120
calls
for
40
units
last
year,
so
BPD.
AS
AS
We
need
you
here
so
I
have
a
big
concern
with
that
being
the
model,
there's
the
need
for
sure,
but
there's
nowhere
in
the
Good
Samaritan
Parable
that
says
You
must
be
attacked
and
that's
what
people
are
afraid
of,
because
we
see
it
in
the
aggravated
assault
numbers
that
have
gone
up
with
massive
cash
just
last
week,
myself,
it's
terrible
what's
happening
and
the
work
that's
getting
done
by
The
BMC
officials
down
there
is
is
great
that
they're
doing
everything
they
can
I
know
Pine
Street
when
they
ran
it
before
at
The
Roundhouse.
AS
The
combination
is
required.
That's
for
sure
you
know
Pine
Street,
this
housing
well
BMC
does
Health
Care.
Well,
it's
hard
to
do
the
other.
Well
without
that
support,
but
I
do
think
it's
on
the
other
categorize,
your
opposition.
This
proposal
is
unless
they've
been
small,
say
that
you
know
that
there
was
a
lot
of
support.
You
know
I
didn't
hear
a
few
percent,
but
overwhelmingly
against,
so
that
that
has
to
be
said,
but
I
think
we're
also
offering
a
false,
Choice
I
think
you
know
all
to
say.
AS
We
need
to
do
something.
So
after
some
investigation
in
research,
my
team,
I
Came
Upon
A
study
that
we
shared
through
the
bpda
before
the
meeting
that
should
be
shared
with
the
board
done
by
the
mit's
naval
construction,
the
Marine
engineering
program
that
investigated
the
feasibility
of
converting
Marine
assets
into
affordable
housing.
AS
The
study
was
used
Boston
as
the
model
because
of
its
location
and
the
requirements
that
had
met,
including
the
challenge
that
it
was
facing
in
the
city
the
Navy
commissioned
that
because
of
the
public
needs
so
I
just
want
to,
and
by
saying
I
would
like
to
request
that
this
be
tabled
until
the
board
can
review
that
as
an
alternative,
because
we
were
talking
about
a
proposal
that
has
less
than
100
units
their
needs
much
more
significant
than
that
and
the
location
is
a
difficult
one
in
a
problem
problematic
one
for
the
community.
AS
That
saw
you
know.
Events
take
place,
including,
unfortunately,
an
individual
who
was
sleeping
on
a
elementary
school
cafeteria
table
across
the
street
when
people
walk
in
the
school.
It's
just
it's
a
hard
thing
to
get
excited
about
when
you
know
that,
without
a
track
record
that
we
can
rely
on
yet
you
know
what
what
that
that
can
bring.
AS
So
that's
what
I'm
asking
I
I
asked
that
the
board
consider
that
the
that
information
in
front
of
you
as
alternatives
to
you
know
thrusting
into
communities
that,
frankly
aren't
and
shouldn't
have
to
be
under
a
burden
of
the
what's
gonna
ultimately
happen.
You
just
know
it
it's
impossible
to
about
a
thousand
on
this.
So
that's
my
request
is
that
the
table
this
decision
sign,
so
they
can
take
a
look
at
the
proposal
done
by
MIT
there's
an
alternative
to
affordable
housing.
AT
My
name
is
John
Lyons
effect,
176
Walnut
Street,
that's
in
the
Port
Norfolk
neighborhood
I'm,
president
of
the
civic
association
I've
personally
attended
every
one
of
these
public
meetings,
both
in
person
and
online
I
can
tell
you
that
I
am
certain
that
there's
no
more
than
one
or
two
people
in
the
directly
affected
area
of
this
proposal
actually
were
in
support
that
all
the
persons
who
spoke
and
support
live
remotely,
at
least
a
mile
or
more
from
the
site,
and
many
actually
identify
themselves
as
having
some
involvement
with
either
the
housing
or
addiction
treatment,
business,
slash
Community,
some
of
whom
actually
identified
themselves
as
employees
of
these
entities.
AT
J
AT
It's
unfair
to
say
that
there
has
been
widespread
support.
There
might
be
widespread
support,
but
it
it
doesn't
come
from
the
community
in
which
this
proposal
is
located,
the
directly
immediate
Butters
May,
in
fact
be
commercial
uses,
but
within
300
feet
and
within
several
blocks.
There
were
multiple
commercial
residential
developments
and
there's
a
growing
residential
community
on
the
directly
adjacent
Norwood
Street,
including
a
recently
permitted
52-unit
residential
project
at
the
at
the
opposite
end
of
that
street
directly
across
Morrissey
Boulevard.
AT
My
my
primary
concern
here
is
the
classification
of
this
project
from
the
beginning
has
been
an
innocuous
sounding
residential
with
office
space.
But
in
what
other
residential
proposal
do
you
ever
see,
offices
which
are
inextricably
part
of
the
operation
of
the
residential
unit
and
we're
going
tonight
even
went
to
Great
Lengths
provide
assurance
that
these
tenants
are
somehow
going
to
be
controlled?
So
it
really
sounds
to
me
and
to
everyone
else,
that
this
is
a
shelter
going
by
another
name,
at
least
as
a
group
home,
and
it's
a
forbidden
use,
not
a
commercial
use.
AT
AT
There
were
five
article
80
projects
within
a
half
mile
of
this
site.
It
strikes
me
that
the
bpda
has
been
engaged
in
the
policy
of
rezoning.
This
entire
District
without
following
the
process
set
forth
in
the
enabling
Act
and
I
too,
would
ask
if
this
at
least
be
temporarily
tabled.
Do
we
do
proper
planning
for
this
neighborhood?
Thank
you.
Thank.
AU
Hi,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Lori
Martinelli
I
live
in
Adams,
Village
I'm,
a
long
time
resident
of
Dorchester
and
I
am
a
strong
supporter
of
this
project
for
several
reasons
which
I
will
list
converting
hotels
to
Affordable
supported
houses
makes
all
the
sense
in
the
world
economically.
It
makes
sense.
We've
got
two
good
partners:
the
Community
Builders
and
Pine
Street
Inn
and
the
Supportive
Housing
piece
I.
AU
Don't
think
we
should
really
ignore
that
that
combined
with
permanent
housing,
helping
people
with
mental
health
issues,
medication
management,
diet,
you
know,
elderly
people
who
you
know
want
to
be
able
to
maintain
their
independence.
This
is
all
the
services
that
will
be
provided
by
the
Pine
Street
in
staff
and
I.
Remember
when
I
went
to
one
of
the
first
meetings,
this
last
fall
at
the
Murphy
School.
There
was
a
security
person
from
Pine
Street
in
talking
about
the
security
that's
going
to
be
in
place,
but
he
said
something
that
struck
me.
He
goes
really.
AU
The
security
is
designed
to
protect
the
people
inside
the
building,
because
the
people
inside
the
building
are
very
vulnerable,
elderly
and
frail.
So
I
think
that
this
is
a
this
is
a
very
good
project.
It's
a
it's
a
good
location
and
I
think
it's
important
that
we
have
more
affordable
housing
in
Boston
I
work
at
the
Boston
Medical
Center
in
the
housing
field
and
I
know
the
dire
situation
in
all
of
our
neighborhoods
and
in
Boston,
and
the
entire
State
actually,
but
particularly
in
Boston.
So
I
am
a
strong
supporter
of
this
project.
W
Hi,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hi,
my
name
is
Peter
Meacham
I
am
a
resident
of
Dorchester.
I
am
from
this
community
and
I
do
want
to
support
this
project
and
for
more
permanent
Supportive
Housing
projects
like
this
across
the
city.
The
most
democratic
approach
we
can
take
as
a
city
is
to
prioritize
the
needs
of
our
neighbors,
who
will
be
most
impacted
by
this
project.
W
People
experiencing
homelessness
in
Boston
deserve
the
safety,
comfort
and
stability
of
a
home,
especially
through
projects
like
this,
that
prioritize
housing
for
seniors
and
for
people
with
disabilities
and
will
provide
counselors
and
case
managers
whose
job
is
to
support
and
protect
the
long-term
health
and
stabilization
of
their
residents.
Approving
this
project
will
change
the
lives
for
the
better
of
99,
of
my
neighbors,
of
your
neighbors
and
of
our
neighbors
I.
Ask
you
to
consider
their
health
and
well-being
in
your
decision.
That's
all
I
have
to
say.
AV
Good
evening
everybody
I'm
Betsy
Dragon
I,
live
on
Pleasant
Street
in
Dorchester,
been
here
for
about
35
years
and
I'm
strongly
in
support
of
this
proposal.
This
project,
I
I,
am
unhappy
with
the
the
characterization
of
the
programs
from
our
city,
councilors
and
state
senator
that
we're
looking
at
amassing
casts
and
fusion
and
it's
a
Morsi
Boulevard,
but
so
far
from
the
truth.
This
is
not
the
same
kind
of
program.
AV
This
is
a
program
where
the
people
will
be
well
vetted
well
supported
and
what
I
understand
from
some
of
the
meetings
I
went
to
I
think
it
was
around
60.
65
percent
of
the
people
are
already
in
these
facilities
within
the
Dorchester
area,
but
they're
triple
Deckers,
or
something
like
that
and
there's
no
elevator.
AV
So
this
is
really
about
providing
access
for
people
who
are
already
in
care
and
frail
Elders
I
just
want
to
quickly
say:
we've
bought
this
battle
before
on
Pleasant
Street
Pine
Street
runs
of
a
facility
there
and
when
they
came
to
the
Civic
associations
there
was
enormous
opposition.
People
were
out
of
their
minds
about
this
that
it
was
going
to
be
the
worst
thing
in
the
world.
It's
by
the
Boys
and
Girls
Clubs
by
the
Everett
school
Etc.
AV
That
program
has
been
there,
I,
I
think,
probably
12
14
years
now
there
has
not
been
any
problems
that
I
am
aware
of
and
in
fact,
most
of
the
time,
it's
one
of
the
better
maintained
properties
on
that
end
to
Pleasant
Street
I
strongly
in
support
of
this
program
and
I
hope
that
you
will
vote
it
up.
Thank.
AW
Thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
Jamie
I'm
a
resident
on
Victory
Road
in
District,
3
represented
by
councilor
Baker
I
am
not
aligned
with
counselor
Baker
on
this
matter,
I'm
very
much
so
in
support
of
this
I'm.
Also,
an
employee
of
Pine,
Street,
Inn
and
I
know.
There's
been
some
concern
that
people
are
feeling
like
a
lot
of
the
support.
AW
Their
healing
hearing
is
from
people
that
are
already
employed
in
homeless,
Services
and,
like
that's,
that
feels
sketchy,
but
I
think
that's
really
important,
because
it
speaks
to
the
fact
that
those
of
us
who
are
doing
the
work
with
these
individuals
every
day
who
know
the
kind
of
behaviors
that
people
exhibit
their
histories,
everything
that
people
have
raised
as
like
concern.
Those
of
us
that
are
exposed
to
that
every
day
are
the
most
comfortable
with
living
in
community
with
these
individuals.
AW
I
also
want
to
mention.
I
know
that
people
have
expressed
concerns
with
there
being
an
increase
in
visible
homelessness.
In
the
community,
I
lived
in
the
community
I
shop
at
that
stop
and
shop,
and
you
know
in
the
area
and
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
we
can
see
that
are
staying
outside.
AW
So
I
actually
think
a
project
like
this,
where
they've
mentioned,
having
like
resources
available
on
site,
would
cause
there
to
be
fewer
people
that
are
visible,
that
are
sleeping
in
places
that
people
aren't
meant
to
be
sleeping
because
they
would
be
there.
So,
in
short,
my
main
point
is
that
the
people
that
would
be
housed
in
this
project
are
already
our
neighbors
they're
already
in
the
neighborhood.
This
would
just
bring
them
inside.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AX
Hi,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Bing
Broderick
and
I
live
on
Pleasant
Street
and
I'd
like
to
speak
in
favor
of
this
project
and
speak
to
einstreet's
track
record
20
years
ago.
I
think
it
was
20
years
ago
Betsy
that
the
house
burned
on
Pleasant
Street,
and
it
was
a
six
unit
house
and
Pine
Street
rebuilt
the
house
beautifully
and
it
has
been
a
model.
AX
It's
on
my
block
and
Pine
Street
has
been
responsive
about
any
anything
that
needs
to
be
done
been
better
than
most
of
my
neighbors
and
I
just
want
to
raise
that
at
this
time,
because
I
think
it's
important,
Pine
Street
is
an
excellent
tracking
record
in
this
department.
Thank
you.
AJ
AJ
Why
not
is
Stop
and
Shop
right
across
the
street
lamp,
it's
all
accessible
by
the
overpass
as
a
safety
to
get
to
those
shopping
areas,
the
same
thing
for
Dunkin
Donuts
and
access
to
walk
down
to
the
beach
and
again
we're
talking
about
elderly
folks.
That
would
age
in
place
in
this
building
again
an
existing
hotel
to
be
converted,
add
less
of
a
cost
than
to
build
a
new
building
and
again,
who
else
bought
Pine
Street
to
take
care
of
our
homeless
and
one
other
thing
is
the
situation
at
the
Ramada.
AJ
G
AY
The
crying
baby,
my
name,
is
Molly
I
live
in
the
neighborhood
I'm,
also
on
Victory
Road
I'm.
Absolutely
in
support
of
this.
This
project,
I,
walk
by
this
location
multiple
times
a
week
to
get
to
Tenny
and
Beach
into
the
harbor
walk
I'm
excited
to
hear
about
the
modifications
to
the
curb
cut,
I,
think
that
would
be
great
for
pedestrians
and
the
upgrades
to
the
sidewalk,
both
for
myself
and
for
anybody
else.
Who's
trying
to
access
Kenny
in
I
think
that's
excellent.
AY
I
think.
As
we
all
know,
housing
is
a
massive
crisis
in
the
city
in
the
state
and
this
region
I
think
tabling.
This
is
absolutely
the
wrong
idea.
If
anything,
we
need
to
act
with
more
urgency
than
we
are
now
again.
I
think
that
using
adapting
this
particular
property
or
the
proposed
use
is
excellent.
I
think
it
adds
to
the
character
of
the
neighborhood.
Frankly,
like
I,
don't
really
care
about
a
hotel
in
my
neighborhood,
but
having
permanent,
supporting
Supportive
Housing
for
elders
and
and
older
adults
that
need
it.
That
sounds
amazing
to
me.
AY
AZ
Hi
thanks
Carl
lanky,
kershland
I
live
at
52
Carruth
Street
in
Dorchester
and
I
also
want
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
project.
You
know
we
haven't.
Everyone
knows
we
have
a
homelessness
crisis
here
in
Boston
and
nationally,
which
we
all
really
should
be
ashamed
of,
and
all
should
be
redoubling.
AZ
Our
efforts
to
address
and
so
I
think
we
all
need
to
take
responsibility
for
welcoming
projects
of
this
sort
into
our
communities,
particularly
such
well
thought
out
projects,
projects
that
have
gone
throughout
vetted
through
a
community
process
that
have
found
compromise
around
certain
issues
that
came
up
during
the
community
process,
including
the
age
restriction,
reducing
the
number
of
units
improving
the
site.
This
is
really
going
to
be
a
more
attractive
building
a
more
attractive.
AZ
You
know
in
a
better
neighbor
than
the
current
use
and
in
the
process
really
it's
going
to
make
a
dent
in
the
homeless
crisis.
I
want
to
just
kind
of
reiterate
the
point.
I
mean
I,
understand
people's
concerns
about
people
sleeping
in
school
yards
or
on
cafeteria
tables,
but
it
can.
It
seems
pretty
clear
that
those
people
wouldn't
be
doing
that
if
they
had,
if
they
had
a
studio
or
apartment
at
this
new
project.
AZ
BA
Thanks
yeah
Carolyn
Chu,
also
a
resident
of
Dorchester
District
3,
a
mile
or
less
from
the
project
site,
and
also
a
member
of
Dorchester
not
for
sale.
A
local
neighborhood
group
and
I
just
wanted
to
speak
also
and
supportive
with
project
I
think
as
Molly
Ryan
and
others
said
earlier,
we
need
to
act
with
urgency
around
affordable
housing.
BA
There
is
a
lot
of
Development
coming
rapidly
to
our
neighborhood
and
we
have
a
lot
of
concerns
about
that,
but
we
know
that
we
need
truly
affordable
housing
and
we
need
all
of
our
neighbors,
including
our
unhoused
neighbors,
to
be
housed
and
so
I
welcome
this
project
and
I'm
excited
about
what
it's
bringing
to
the
neighborhood
in
the
midst
of
Morrissey
Boulevard.
Turning
into
the
next
support,
thank
you.
L
Okay,
so
my
name
is
Becky
Pierce
and
I
also
strongly
support
this
project
and
for
all
the
reasons
other
people
have
said
in
proving
primarily
the
desperate
need
for
affordable
housing
for
people
coming
out
of
homelessness
or
recently
homeless,
or
at
risk
of
becoming
homeless
and
I.
Think
the
talk
of
massive
cast,
you
know,
is
com
by
the
by
our
elected
officials.
L
It
is
a
completely
contrary
to
the
truth,
because
the
area
will
be
safer
when
people
who
are
homeless
and
struggling
with,
and
even
if
they
are
people
who
are
struggling
with
dictionary
problems
if
they
get
the
services
they
needed.
This
has
been
shown
time
again
to
be
the
way
to
help
these
people
get
on
with
their
lives
and
and
not
be
a
burden
on
society
or
risk
to
anybody's
safety.
L
So
I
would
also
like
to
say
that
I'm,
a
retired
self-employed
Carpenter,
not
a
social
worker
and
that
I
and
I'm,
also
a
member
of
Georgetown
not
for
sale,
I,
frequently
drive
bike
shop
and
follow
this
immediate
area.
I
was
at
bowling
alley
yesterday,
right
across
the
parking,
lots
and
I
think
this
that,
with
the
sidewalk
improvements
and
the
green
space
that
they're
adding
this
area
will
be
more
attractive
and
safer
for
everybody
and
and
that
we
need
to.
L
We
need
to
all
support
this
and
and
build
this
project
here
and
any
any
other
projects
like
this,
that
we
can,
and
that
will
be
the
solution
to
the
mastercast
problem
and
people
that
are
suffering
from
all
these
problems
of
homelessness
deserve
our
support.
They're,
the
most
vulnerable
people
in
our
community
they're,
the
ones
that
need
housing.
That's
under
30
of
Ami
and
I,
strongly
support
it
and
urge
you
to
vote
for
it
and
pass
it
and
get
it
constructed
as
fast
as
possible.
BB
Hello,
my
name
is
Maria
Lyons
I
live
in
Port,
Norfolk
I'm,
a
mother
and
a
teacher.
The
mission
of
Pine
Street
Inn,
is
to
take
care
of
the
homeless.
The
mission
of
most
of
the
residents
of
this
neighborhood
is
to
raise
their
family
safely.
Why
are
children
considered
not
considered
most
at
risk
by
the
city?
There
is
a
conflict
here
due
to
many
unknowns.
If
we
have
to
decide
between
the
two
missions,
I
have
to
vote
for
the
children
that
live
here,
lay
in
the
Parks
and
go
to
school.
Here
they
should
be
the
priority.
BB
At
the
Putin
off
of
meeting,
we
were
told
by
the
pine
tree
proponents
that
their
future
residents
would
be
taken
to
clinics
to
receive
their
methadone.
In
other
words,
some
residents
will
be
current
or
former
drug
addicts.
No
one
is
talking
about
how
many
residents
will
be
current
or
former
addicts,
drug
or
alcohol
or
high
high.
The
relapse
rate
is,
they
will
have
Supervision
in
the
building,
but
not
in
the
neighborhood.
No
one
can
control
what
happens,
how
they
act,
who
they
meet
when
unsupervised.
99
is
a
large
group
of
people.
BB
We
do
not
want
an
influx
of
behaviors
in
the
neighborhood
detrimental
participant.
These
are
legitimate
concerns
and
not
irrational
fears.
Dorchester
is
a
big
place.
Most
reporters
I
hear
are
not
from
direct
neighborhoods.
The
plants
it
put
an
awful
Clear,
Point
Cedar
Grove
are
the
neighborhoods
that
are
most
affected.
BB
AH
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Evan
George
I've
been
at
Dorchester
resident
for
about
seven
years,
I'm.
Also
a
member
of
the
Dorchester
and
office
sale,
Coalition
and
I'm
strongly
in
support
of
this
project.
I
agree
with
the
previous
speaker
that
this
is
about
safety
and
safety
in
our
community.
We
have
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness,
source
sleeping
on
the
streets
where
our
children
walk.
We
have
people
who
are
homeless,
who
have
to
seek
shelter
in
our
Parks.
We
can
understand
that
reality
and
we
can
deal
with
that
in
one
of
two
ways.
AH
We
can
continue
to
do.
Nothing
continue
to
allow
only
new
development,
which
is
focused
on
lab
space,
which
is
focused
on
luxury
development,
or
we
can
use
our
existing
housing
stock
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
communities.
People
can
be
sleeping
on
the
street
or
we
can
house
them
appropriately
and
give
them
the
services
they
need.
I
am
very
disheartened
to
hear
my
Western
officials
demonize
seniors
demonize
people
who
make
ten
thousand
twenty
thousand
thirty
thousand
dollars
a
year,
which
is
where
that
30
Ami
roughly
is.
These
are
our
neighbors.
AH
These
are
our
community
members
and
we
should
not
be
afraid
of
them
and
for
those
of
you
who
are
the
choices
between
letting
them
live
on
the
street
or
using
the
housing
stock.
That
we
need
is
the
choice
before
you
so
again.
I
am
strongly
in
support
of
this
project
and
thank
you
for
the
bbda,
so
imagine
in
the
sample.
BC
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Vincent
Rocio
and
I
live
two
miles
from
this
proposal,
so
I
live
off
of
Pleasant,
Street
and
I
am
strongly
supportive
of
this
project.
BC
I
sympathize
with
a
lot
of
people
here
that
it
is
communities
like
Dorchester
that
are
asked
to
to
hold
these
kinds
of
projects.
There
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
whole
lot
of
proposals
for
Beacon
Hill.
There
doesn't
seem
to
be
a
whole
lot
of
proposals
for
West
Roxbury
that
I
know
of.
BC
Nonetheless,
this
community
is
in
need
of
this
kind
of
Housing,
and
we
are
talking
about
two
preeminent
organizations
in
terms
of
affordable
housing
that
are
coming
together
on
this
project
with
a
creative
solution
that
will
serve
the
community
and
I
also
want
to.
You
know,
make
two
more
points
that
I
do
live
a
stone's
throw
from
a
Pine
Street
in
Project
Community.
You
would
never
know
that
it
is
a
Pine
Street
in
facility.
That's
how
well
it's
run.
The
reputation
of
the
Community
Builders
is
also
just
Sterling,
if
not
a
national
model.
BC
Finally,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
the
other
point
that
this
project
represents
an
opportunity
for
school
children,
UMass
the
school
system
and
UMass
Boston
to
partake
in
volunteer
experiences
that
will
enrich
all
participants,
I'm
really
aghast,
like
others,
that
this
has
been
compared
to
mass
and
cast
that
it's
going
to
facilitate
that
kind
of
environment
and
I
would
just
strongly
support
that
we
move
on
this
project
and
allow
it
to
come
through
to
completion.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
BD
Hello,
my
name
is
Lori
herlebows
I'm,
a
resident
of
Dorchester
I
live
less
than
a
mile
from
the
project,
I'm,
not
sure
where
those
boundaries
are
are
drawn
as
to
who's
part
of
the
community
and
who's
not
and
who's
actually
directly
affected
and
who's.
Not,
but
I
live
less
than
a
mile
from
the
project.
I
was
born
and
raised
here.
This
is
my
community.
BD
Some
of
the
residents
that
will
be
living
in
this
new
project
are
from
my
community.
I'm
strongly
in
support
are
more
concerned
about
the
untracked
luxury
development.
That's
happening
in
our
city
in
the
same
area,
without
the
same
concerns
as
have
been
raised
for
this
project.
We
need
housing
in
our
community
for
a
range
of
incomes.
That's
truly
affordable.
BD
BD
Those
Solutions
include
building
housing
that
people
can
afford
at
a
range
of
incomes
and
especially
at
the
30
40
and
less
percent
I.
Don't
know
what
more
to
say.
Clearly
we're
just
giving
comments.
I
am
appalled
that
that
we
don't
see
folks
as
part
of
our
community
I
think
the
Pine
Street.
It
will
be
positioned
to
address
bringing
Solutions
into
the
community
I'm.
BD
Also,
a
facility
manager
in
in
Fields
Corner
I
understand
the
concerns
around
security
and
space
and
land,
but
giving
access
to
services
to
support
I
think
the
most
important
thing
to
focus
on
is
it's
not
it's,
not
a
oh,
it's
a
shelter,
but
we're
calling
it
something
different.
We're
talking
about
permanent
Supportive,
Housing,
permanent
and
Supportive
Housing
I
think
we
all
need
that
actually
and
the
services
and
that
all
seniors
need
so
I'm
I'm,
really
I'm
proud
to
stand
I'm.
Also
a
member
of
Dorchester
not
for
sale,
I'm,
proud
to
support
this
project.
BD
BE
Hi,
my
name
is
Steve
air
I'm,
a
resident
of
Victory
Road,
located
a
few
blocks
from
the
the
proposed
project
site
here.
I
just
want
to
offer
my
strongest
possible
support
of
this
project.
Others
have
spoken
more
eloquently
than
I
can
about
the
sort
of
historic
need
for
housing
and
for
affordable
housing,
particularly
in
the
sort
of
critical
role
that
this
project
will
play
in
addressing
those
issues.
BE
So
I
won't
belabor
that
here,
but
I'll
just
know,
as
you
know,
I
we
we've
heard
a
lot.
You
know
in
on
this
fall
and
in
Prior
Community
meetings.
You
know
concerns
about
Safety
and
Security
and
particularly
concerns
about
the
Safety
and
Security
of
children.
BE
You
know
I'm
just
one
voice,
but
as
the
the
father
of
a
one-year-old,
you
know,
I
I,
don't
share
any
of
those
concerns
related
to
this
project.
For
reasons
that
my
my
neighbors
have
explained
really
well
on.
This
call
I
have
a
lot
of
faith
in
the
Community
Builders
and
in
the
Pine
Street
and
his
operators,
and
you
know,
I,
think
that
this,
the
the
introduction
of
this
project
makes
this
a
neighborhood
that
I'm
I'm
even
happier
to
be
raising
a
young
child
in
I'm.
BE
You
know
happy
that
a
project
like
this
will
be
across
the
street
from
the
Murphy
School
when
she
starts
school
there
and
I'm
very
excited
about
the
improvements
to
the
site
that
that
are
going
to
be
made
here
that
are
going
to
directly
affect
my
life
and
the
life
of
you
know
the
the
rest
of
the
residents
of
this
neighborhood
so
I'll
leave
it
there,
but
again,
I'm
strongly
in
support
of
this
project.
AO
BF
What
hey
I'm
I'm,
definitely
a
supportive
Rodney.
You
know:
I
was
almost
13
years
ago.
I
got
help
through
the
the
ventures
set
it
down
downtown
cross.
You
know
they're
good.
You
know
in
an
organization
that
was
grateful
that
I
found
it.
You
know.
I
was
able
to
get
a
voucher
to
the
VA,
but
when
I
got
that
voucher,
it
was
I
end
up
with
a
slum
line,
and
then
you
end
up
fighting.
BF
BF
You
know
it's
something
to
read:
Renovations
come
non-profit
now
that
owns
it,
but
my
thing
is,
as
first
students
shouldn't
have
to
fight
with
a
slum
Lord
to
have
a
decent
place
to
live.
That's
what
I
had
to
go
through
I
had
to
go
through
hell,
because
I
got
about
30
I'm,
not
30
percent.
Come
really
lost.
I
live
on
SSDI
and
stuff
like
that
little
bit
of
VA
benefits,
but
you
know:
I
shouldn't
have
to
fight
with
stuff
like
that.
BF
No
thank
God
that
someone
should
get
rid
of
them.
Tenants
now
owning
the
prop
building
to
a
non-profit
and
it's
great,
but
I
had
to
fight
and
I'm
fighting
for
these
people
so
99
and
it's
right
there
everything's
day
after
them
they
get
their
security.
They
kept.
Oh
my
God
it
just
this
project
seems
great.
It
enabled
I
think
this
will
be
your
benefit
for
the
neighborhood.
BF
BG
BG
BG
The
need
for
affordable
housing,
it's
hard
to
describe
how
huge
it
is.
The
waiting
lists
at
the
Boston
Housing
Authority
are
in
the
tens
of
thousands
the
waiting
lists
for
either
Section
8
or
state
mrvp
subsidies
or
in
the
tens
of
thousands.
Tens
of
thousands
I
I,
know
the
Pine
Street
in
building
on
Pleasant
Street.
BG
The
number
of
people
have
testified
about
and
how
well-run
that
is,
and
and
other
properties
that
Pine
Street
has
in
other
parts
of
the
city
and
as
other
people
have
said,
the
reputation
of
behind
Street
is
very
strong,
as
is
the
reputation
of
Community
Builders.
BG
It's
always
hard.
When
you
see
division,
you
know
the
divisions
that
people
have
and
I'm
brought
up
in
this
hearings,
but
this
the
need
is
so
great
and
I
think
we,
this
project
needs
to
be
improved
and
then
I
think
all
of
us
need
to
support
the
residents
you
know
going
forward.
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
testifying
thanks
for
hearing
us
out
from
all
over
Rochester
tonight,.
BH
Yep
I
can
hear
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
I
am
completely
100
in
supportive
of
this
project.
I
live
on
Hamilton
Street
I've
been
a
resident
of
Dorchester
for
35
years
I'm
on
District,
three
I
do
have
a
pining
project
for
seniors.
On
my
street,
less
than
a
block
from
my
house
and
I
have
a
halfway
house
on
my
street
about
a
block
and
a
half
from
my
house,
the
halfway
for
about
20
years
and
now
for
the
last
about
four
years.
BH
Looking
at
the
people
on
the
streets
and
all
of
the
elderly,
people
that
have
given
their
lives,
many
of
them
veterans
that
have
ore
that
have
worked
all
of
their
lives
and
now
they
deserve
housing
they
deserve.
They
should
be
on
the
streets.
Who
are
we
to
be?
Judging
the
people
who
are
going
to
live
on
a
pine
end
project?
That's
going
to
have
security,
that's
going
to
have
on-site
Services.
Who
are
we
to
judge?
Who
are
we
to
say
that
tomorrow
we
are
not
going
to
be
in
the
same
predicament.
BH
We
have
to
be
very
careful
when
we
start
really
alienating
people,
because
we
can
be
one
of
those
people
tomorrow.
So
today
we
are
lucky,
but
tomorrow
we
don't
know
so.
I
am
total
support
and
I
can
tell
you
that
the
pining
project
on
my
street
has
been
great.
Children
have
been
mingling
with
the
elderly
people
saying
good
morning
good
evening
and
guess
what
it's
a
win-win
situation?
They
are
learning
from
each
other.
We
are
not
better
than
anybody
else.
Thank
you.
BI
Thank
you
for
having
me
my
name
is
Jen
carte
and
I'm
a
resident
of
Fields
Corner
I'm,
also
one
of
the
founders
of
Dorchester,
growing,
together
neighborhood-wide
civic
association
with
the
pro-housing
agenda,
supporting
housing
at
all
price
points
as
an
attempt
to
address
the
housing
crisis
faced
by
the
city
as
a
whole.
BI
Further
I
would
just
highlight
that
over
the
last
three
months,
a
very
public
fight
over
this
proposal,
as
well
as
the
150
Center
Street
proposal
of
near
Chalmette
station.
Our
membership
has
grown
from
98
to
over
170
members
and
it's
a
significant
part
with
people
looking
to
find
a
way
to
convey
to
you
that
there
does
exist
significant
support
in
the
community
for
these
types
of
projects.
It
just
isn't
comfortable
showing
up
in
the
Civic
process
that
happens
at
odd
hours
and
is
dominated
by
them.
BI
BJ
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
I
really
appreciate
this
opportunity:
I'm
a
resident
of
Dorchester,
a
constituent
in
the
districts
of
councilor,
Baker
and
Senator
Collins
and,
like
others,
I
strongly
disagree
with
their
positions
on
this
I.
Do
not
work
in
any
industry
that
has
any
material
stake
here.
I've
come
to
all
of
these
meetings
on
my
own
time,
because
I'm
very
concerned
about
what
I've
heard
the
response
from
the
neighborhood
and
others
in
opposition
to
this
project.
BJ
I'm
a
union
member
and
I'm
taught
to
view
people
who
may
be
a
little
down
on
their
luck
as
my
brothers
and
sisters.
So
that's
another
reason.
I'm
here
so
I
understand
that
a
lot
of
people-
and
me
too,
are
very
concerned
about
how
things
are
changing
in
Dorchester.
BJ
I.
Also
I
I
also
be
just
extremely
concerned.
I
can't
say
it
as
well,
as
some
other
folks
have
said,
but
I
come
from
an
Irish
immigrant
fan,
my
grandparents
all
came
to
the
U.S,
not
Boston,
wasn't
born
and
raised
here,
so
maybe
I
shouldn't
be
speaking,
but
I've
heard
a
lot
of
people
claim
that's
what
it
takes,
but
I
remember,
including
my
father
I'm
in
my
60s.
So
you
know
this
was
this
was
50
years
ago
40
years
ago,
when
there
were
signs
of
that,
Irish
need
not
applied
for
renting
or
jobs.
BJ
At
many
many
places-
and
here
I
hear
this
again
the
stereotyping
about
who
belonged
this
case.
It
may
not
be
racial
or
ethnic.
It's
based
on
people's
history
and,
as
the
last
speaker
Linda
mentioned,
any
one
of
us
could
have
that
Misfortune.
So
I
just
want
to
express
my
strong
support
for
this
project
as
a
part
of
the
solution
not
of
the
problem.
Thank
you
for
your
for
your
time
who
I
need
to.
N
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
viewing.
Okay,
my
name
is
Jordan
longifer
I'm
a
long
time,
Dorchester
resident
and
I
just
want
to
speak
in
the
strongest
support
possible
for
this
project.
Of
course,
there
is
an
extreme
need
for
this
kind
of
project
and
I
think
the
plans
are
just
phenomenal.
The
wraparound,
Services
security
I
just
think
it's
it's
fantastic.
N
Many
other
people
have
spoken
much
more
eloquently
than
I
have,
but
I
just
wanted
to
add.
My
support
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
bpda
for
this
format,
where
voicing
support,
for
this
is
not
shut
it
down
and
or
dismissed.
So
so,
thank
you
for
hearing
us.

Hi,
my
name
is
Brandon
Conlin
I
live
on
Nova,
Street
and
I
am
in
opposition
of
this
project.
It
just
does
not
fit
the
neighborhood,
there's
no
adequate
public
transportation,
it's
just
not
a
good
fit.
In
my
opinion,
you
know,
Dorchester
is
taking
a
brunt
of
this
and
enough.
BL
You
know.
I
didn't
know
this
meeting
until
tonight,
and
that's
all
I
have
to
say
is
that
I'm
in
opposition
I
I'm
in
a
direct
butter-
and
you
know
we
have
a
problem
at
the
end
of
the
street
with
homeless
people
living
there
and
every
time
that's
brought
up.
Nothing's
really
been
done,
there's
so
Rangers
all
around
city
and
Beach,
whether
you
walk
the
dog
or
vice
versa.
It's
just
a
concern
and
no
one
wants
to
do
anything
about
it.
BL
A
Thank
you,
minor
Marie,
Lyons
I,
see
you
have
your
hand
up
again,
but
we
only
take
test
testimony
from
an
individual
once.
BM
Hi
good
evening,
so
my
name
is
Russell.
West
Irwin
I
live
a
couple
blocks
away
on
coffee,
Street
and
I.
Just
want
to
express
my
strong
support
for
this.
This
project
I
think
it's
a
great
addition
to
our
neighborhood
I.
BM
Think
I've
spoken
a
lot
of
my
neighborhood
Neighbors
about
it,
and
you
know,
first
of
all,
I
think
the
you
know
the
the
services
and
the
kind
of
housing
that
the
project
would
provide
are
needed
things
in
the
city
of
Boston
in
general
and
I
think
putting
them
in
a
place.
BM
That's
you
know
already
like
a
a
great
tight-knit
neighborhood
with
you
know,
close
to
you,
know,
medical
clinic
and
grocery
store
and
public
transportation
and
products
and
all
kinds
of
stuff
that
people
need
to
have
a
good
life
and
that
you
know
the
same
reasons
why
I
love
this
neighborhood
as
a
place
for
me,
and
my
family
I
think
are
great
reasons
to
put
this
kind
of
housing.
BM
This
kind
of
project
here
so
I
just
want
to
say
really
strongly
that
I
am
thrilled,
that
you
know
that
that
that
this
has
been
proposed
and
I
hope
that
we
can
go
forward
with
it
and
I
hope
that
the
board
will
vote
this
evening
to
approve
and
support
and
move
forward
with.
You
know
with
haste
on
this
project.
BM
AS

Hi,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
strong
support
for
this
project.
I'm,
a
Dorchester
resident
that
and
I
I
live
on
Edwin
Street
and
I've
attended
almost
I
think
every
public
meeting
connected
to
this
project-
and
you
know
this
is
really
the
kind
of
project
that
we
need
to
see
to
address.
AA
The
affordable
housing
crisis
in
the
city
and
I
really
welcome
the
opportunity
that
you
know
the
Pine
Street,
Inn
and
TCB
have
put
together
to
take
an
underutilized
hotel
to
provide
permanent
Supportive
Housing
to
our
neighbors,
our
community
members,
who
have
faced
housing,
instability
and
and
to
support
them
through
towards
housing,
stability
and
yes,
I
just
want
to
express
my
support.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
B
BN
Madam
chair,
it's
lindia
Downey
from
Pine
Street
in
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
to
answer
some
of
the
issues
that
was
raised
and
thank
you
to
you
and
the
board
and
to
the
staff
at
bpda
for
their
help.
Thus
far
in
this
project,
I
would
like
to,
with
with
great
respect
to
both
Senator
Collins
and
to
councilor.
Baker
I
would
like
to
share
a
couple
of
pieces
of
data.
One
of
our
houses
does
have.
Many
of
our
houses
do
in
fact
have
not
significant
9-1-1
calls.
BN
Ninety
percent
of
them
are
medical
calls,
because
our
population
is
older
and
at
night,
where
we
don't
have
a
case
manager,
we
often
do
use
9-1-1
if
someone's
having
chest
pains
or
in
any
kind
of
medical
distress.
So
I
do
want
to
clear
that
up.
The
second
thing,
I
would
say
is
that
our
population
we've
committed
to
making
this
an
elder
preference,
our
average
age
right
now
in
our
34
houses,
that
we
run
throughout
Boston,
Brookline
and
Chelsea.
BN
I
do
want
to
address
Mass
cast
for
a
minute,
because
our
team
Works
down
there
on
a
regular
basis,
doing
Outreach
and
the
city
has
been
collecting
some
data
on
mass
cast
and
the
most
recent
data,
which
is
a
little
bit
dated,
is
that
less
than
half
the
people
on
mass
cast
on
a
given
day
are
actually
homeless.
There's
other
people
down
there,
but
they
are
not
homeless
people.
They
are
never
going
to
get
on
a
list
for
housing
in
Boston
because
they
don't
fit
the
criteria
for
being
homeless.
BN
Of
the
people
that
stay
on
mass
cast
that
are
homeless.
The
estimate
is
that
between
10
or
15
percent
might
fit
the
definition
for
chronic
homelessness.
But
the
average
length
of
time
that
someone
stays
on
mass
cast
80
of
the
people
are
there
for
less
than
three
days
and
so
I
know.
In
people's
minds,
they
connect
this
as
the
same
thing,
but
it's
really
not
it's.
It's
quite
different.
BN
The
way
you
get
onto
the
list
for
the
type
of
Supportive
Housing
we
do
is
really
you
have
to
be
homeless
for
a
very
long
period
of
time
and
you
have
to
have
a
disability
and
you
have
to
come
off
the
stage
case
Master
list
where
you're
screened,
both
from
the
both
via
the
housing
subsidy
provider
and
the
developer.
So
thank
you
for
that
opportunity
and
and
I
very
much
appreciate
the
chance
to
be
here
tonight.
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
so
we
can
go
to
to
board
questions.
Does
anyone
on
the
board
have
any
questions
or
comments.
E
H
E
By
the
comments
that
individuals
who
are
supportive
of
this
project
have
made
and
I
also
understand
how
our
elected
officials
who've
spoken
at
against.
This
are
representing
the
interests
of
folks
who
live
in
that
neighborhood.
E
But
I'm
reminded
of
the
fact
that
this
this
coming
weekend
is
Mother's,
Day
and
and
I've
never
met
a
mother
who
imagined
that
her
daughter
or
son
would
grow
up
to
be
homeless
and
and
I
think
that
the
project
that
is
before
us
represents
the
kind
of
public
compassion
that
those
of
us
who
occupy
Civic
positions
within
the
city
have
to
express
on
behalf
of
individuals
who
are
members
of
our
families
and
our
friends
and
people.
E
We've
worked
with
students,
I've
taught
who
don't
have
permanent
housing
and
who
sometimes
need
the
kind
of
support
that
the
proponents
here
are
are
putting
forward,
and
so
as
much
as
I
recognize
that
there
has
been
some
very
vocal
Community
opposition
Express
to
this
project.
E
It's
quite
clear
that
there's
great
Community
Support
to
address
the
issues
which
go
beyond
this
individual
neighborhood
and
really
affect
the
entire
city
and
the
region,
and
that
we
all
have
a
responsibility
to
step
forward
and
and
to
support
our
neighbors
and
family
members
who
find
themselves
in
this
situation
and
who
are
trying
to
access
the
kind
of
supports
that
the
proponents
in
this
case
have
put
forward
so
I
for
one
find
it
easy
to
support
this
proposal.
That's
before
us.
B
So
I
just
have
one
one
question
since
you've
done
this,
you
know
in
in
other
areas
and
other
other
neighborhoods
I
guess
what
is
the?
How
does
that
Community?
How
does
the
new
community
integrate
with
with
the
existing
Community
like?
How
do
you,
how
have
you
been
successful
in
getting
and
getting
that
fit
right?
I
mean
we
already
yeah
I,
just
I
want
these
people
to
feel
a
part
of
the
community.
BN
I'm
happy
to
try
and
address
that
and
I
I
think
Andy
Waxman
can
jump
in
as
well.
You
know
we
often
have
volunteers
that
come
into
our
houses,
sometimes
they're
neighbors,
who
live
close
by
sometimes
they're,
just
people
who
call
us
and
say
I'd
like
to
volunteer.
So,
for
example,
we
have
a
group
that
comes
in
and
does
brunch
and
a
couple
of
our
houses
once
a
month
on
a
Sunday
and
they
cook
with
the
tenants
they
help
them
with
some
cooking
skills.
They
get
to
know
each
other.
BN
We
have
game
nights
where
we
ask
volunteers
to
come
in
and
host
a
game
night
bingo,
everybody
loves
Bingo
and
we
ask
people
to
bring.
You
know,
bring
some
Bingo
prizes,
it's
just
a
way
for
people
to
get
used
to
what's
in
the
neighborhood,
and
we
invite
neighbors
to
be
part
of
of
any
of
those
game
nights.
This
building
will
have
a
lot
of
community
space,
we're
hoping
we
can
host
Community
meetings
so
that
people
can
meet
people
and
feel
not
Not
Afraid,
because
we
will
have
space
for
any
of
the
neighborhood
associations.
BN
BN
You
know
with
property
in
Dorchester
now,
where
a
number
of
folks
shop
at
the
smaller
grocery
stores,
because
that's
what's
close
by
right
and
and
so
they
become
really
very
well
acquainted,
often
with
with
the
merchants.
Because
of
that,
so
we
use
a
variety
of
of
ideas
and-
and
we
are
open
to
more
ideas
from
people
in
the
neighborhood
as
well.
AQ
I'll,
just
also
briefly
add
you
know
we,
as
I
said
in
an
earlier
presentation.
We
did
an
extensive
Outreach
and
Community
process
ahead
of
the
official
articulating
process
and
so
demonstrating
that
we're.
Even
though
we
we
got
a
lot
of
opposition
again,
it
was
great
to
hear
so
much
support
tonight,
but
you
know
we're
committed
to
continuing
that
kind
of
ongoing
dialogue
afterwards.
So
you
know
people
came
up
to
us
afterwards.
How
do
we
get
in
contact
with
you?
AQ
So
if
there
are,
you
know,
things
aren't
going
to
be
100
perfect,
we're
not
saying
they
will
be,
but
it
is
that
ongoing
dialogue
and
people
having
specific
concerns
or
whatever
issue
is
going
on
to
try
to
address
that
will
be,
in
addition
to
all
the
things
and
that
Lydia
talked
about,
there's
really
continuing
to
be
a
community.
You
know
in
communication,
and
dialogue
and
meeting
with
the
residents
is
important
and
I
guess.
AQ
The
last
thing
I'll
just
say
is
that
I
also
I
live
in
Jamaica
Plain
about
two
blocks
from
a
Pine
Street
Building
myself.
So
not
trying
to
do
anything
that
not
also
doing
in
my
own
neighborhood
and
then
with
pints
in
professionally
four
blocks
from
where
I
live.
Were
you
know
in
construction
on
140,
similar
Apartments?
So
it
you
know,
I
vote
where
the
Pine
Street
in
I
didn't
even
know.
AQ
I
was
Voting
at
a
in
a
Pine
State
Building
I
just
before
you
know,
and
then
learned
that
it
was
a
Pine
Street
building,
so
I
also
can
relate
to
what
other
folks
have
said.
Is
it's
well
run
and
you
don't
even
know
what
it
is
often
until
you
have
an
opportunity
to
find
out
for
whatever
reason.
B
Great,
thank
you.
That's
very,
very
helpful
and
yeah
it
is.
It
is
my
My
Hope
that
you
know
yourself
and
and
the
staff
there
will
be
a
a
helpful
conduit
to
to
make
the
connections
because
I
think
there
there's
a
lot
of
great
connections
that
can
be
made.
U
Madam,
which
I
have
a
couple
I,
have
a
comment,
question
and
a
suggestion.
My
comment
is:
it
reminds
me
of
something
similar
that
happened
down
we're
working
when
working
relocated
from
North
Quincy
to
where
they
are
on
Freeport,
Street
and
remember.
There
was
a
lot
of
concerns
because
of
that
population,
and
it
didn't,
they
didn't
know
it.
It
was
the
unknown,
so
people
immediately
go
to
a
doc
place
or
whatever
my
my
suggestion
is
BC
high,
which,
as
you
know,
it's
right
down
the
street
on
this
on
the
same
street.
U
They
have
a
mandatory
program
with
it.
Students
have
to
volunteer,
they
have
to
be
involved
in
some
volunteer
effort,
and
you
could
probably
tap
into
that.
My
question
is:
there's
a
lot
of
55
plus
communities.
It's
mandatory.
You
can't
be
under
55
and
live
in
certain
communities
of
private.
Of
course
it's
Condo
Association
rules.
U
If
the
average
age
is
57
and
you're
going
to
Target,
62
plus
veterans
disabilities,
would
would
you
be
up
to
saying
listen,
we're
going
to
make
this
a
55,
plus
building
I,
think
that
would
quell
a
lot
of
fears
or
concerns
that
some
neighbors
have.
AQ
BN
AQ
Of
the
subsidies
that
that
are
needed
to
make
this
work
there's
you
know
various
rules
about
the
own
program
and
this
program
and
that
program,
and
so
they
have
different
definitions
of
what
how
you're
allowed
to
have
senior
buildings
with
so
senior
preferences.
One
of
the
options
for
that
there
really
isn't
an
option
for
a
55
plus.
N
AQ
Let
me
just
say:
I
have
two
sons
who
are
at
BC
high,
so
so
I
I,
very
support
and
I.
Believe
Lindy
has
spoke
at
BCI
not
too
long
ago
to
the
students,
so
that
that
is
a
great
idea
and
something
that
I
would
certainly
encourage
and
work
towards
as
well.
B
B
B
Much
yeah
all
right,
so
we
are
on
to
item
number
25..
We
have
an
informational
presentation
regarding
the
Commonwealth
compact,
with
respect
to
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
and
development
Lewis.
BO
Thank
you
good
evening,
Madam
chair
as
team
of
members
of
the
board
secretary
Paul
emus
and
director
Jemison.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
evening
for
the
record.
I'm
Louis,
Frias
II,
director
of
diversity,
Equity
inclusion
here
at
the
bpda
I
use
the
E-Series
of
pronouns
and
I'm
here
to
speak
on
the
Commonwealth
development.
Compact
no
vote
is
required
for
this.
BO
On
Monday
May
8th
director
Jamison
signed
the
Commonwealth
development
compact
on
behalf
of
Mary
Wu
and
the
City
of
Boston.
We
are
joined
in
this
compact
by
the
cities
of
Cambridge,
Somerville,
Salem
and
Lynn.
The
commitments
of
the
compact
are
in
alignment
with
our
current
diversity:
Equity
inclusion
policies
regarding
public
land
dispositions
and
private
development.
BO
The
compact
is
an
initiative
created
by
the
Civic
Action
project
and
supported
by
the
Boston
Society
of
architecture
and
the
Builders
of
color
coalition.
It
seeks
to
broaden
access
and
participation
the
economic
and
social
benefits
of
real
estate
development,
with
a
focus
on
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
BO
The
pilot
program
of
the
Commonwealth
development
model
includes
the
following
key
elements
of
the
compact
one
for
the
development
or
other
disposition.
Municipal-Owned
properties
use
its
best
efforts
to
require
that
A
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
plan
shall
comprise
25
percent
of
the
comparative
evaluation
of
each
proposal
submitted
two
request
that
all
projects
requiring
a
special
permit,
variance
or
other
zoning
relief
within
within
thresholds
to
be
determined
by
the
individual
municipalities
include
a
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
plan
disclosure.
BO
As
previously
mentioned,
these
key
elements
are
largely
based
on
the
bpda's
Dei
requirements
for
public
land
dispositions
and
private
development.
The
compact
is
an
extension
of
the
bpda's
ongoing
work
and
strong
commitment
to
diversity,
Equity
of
inclusion
and
the
real
estate
development
industry
in
2018.
All
requests
for
proposals
for
the
Redevelopment
of
bpda
owns
land
required
A
diversity,
Equity
inclusion
plan
to
be
part
of
the
submission
process.
BO
These
plans
have
helped
us
to
understand
that
the
degree
of
Equitable
and
inclusive
economic
participation,
people
of
color
women
and
minority
and
women-owned
business
enterprises
within
various
aspects
of
each
project
2020.
The
bpda
began
evaluating
these
Dei
plans
with
the
RFP
submissions
as
25
of
the
value
evaluative
criteria.
To
date,
the
bpda
has
released
at
least
23
rfps
and
designated
13
development
projects
and
as
of
August
2022,
the
bpda
has
requested
projects
undergoing
article
ADB,
ADC
or
80d
review,
but
not
including
imp
amendments
pursuing
of
80d9
to
include
a
diversity
Equity
inclusion
plan
disclosure.
BO
These
disclosures
also
focus
on
measuring
economic
participation,
management
and
employment
of
people
of
color
women
and
certified
minority
and
women-owned
business
enterprises
within
each
project.
At
this
time,
the
disclosures
are
for
informational
purposes
and
will
not
be
used
as
part
of
the
evaluation
in
the
article
80
review
process.
To
date
we
have
received
over
26
such
disclosures.
BO
B

this
is
a
great
great
presentation.
Thank

Good
evening,
members
of
the
board
and
and
chair,
thank
you
very
much
for
for
your
your
hard
work
tonight.
As
always,
just
to
quickly
summarize
tonight's
board
meeting
we
approved
two
new
development
projects.
181
residential
units
under
18
income,
restricted
units
told
the
total
developers,
cost
estimate
was
95
million
dollars
and
the
products
represent
approximately
200
000
square
feet.
When
constructed
182
trades
people,
we
put
the
work
and
create
63
direct
jobs.
BR
Tonight's
work
was
very
much
focused
on
not
just
900
Morrissey,
but
a
series
of
plan
and
and
other
actions
which
I'll
summarize,
but
before
I
do
that.
I
did
want
to
highlight
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
key
things,
so
I
want
to
offer
condolences
to
the
family
and
friends
of
our
zoning.
Commissioner
Jane
rayton
Jane
was
a
member
and
vice
chair
of
the
Boston
zoning
commission
for
over
20
years,
and
she
passed
away.
BR
Suddenly
three
weeks
ago,
appointed
by
mayor,
Tom
Benito
in
2001
to
represent
represent
the
Blackstone
Franklin
Square
neighborhood
association
over
10
years.
She
helped
to
transform
the
city
skyline
through
her
votes,
institutional
campuses
and
neighborhood
development
worldwide
through
votes
that
she
took.
She
was
instrumental
on
the
approvals
of
Winthrop
Square,
everyone,
centered
garage
and
the
entire
South
Boston
Waterfront,
as
well
as
work
on
Northeastern
Harvard,
Boston
University
at
Boston,
College
name.
A
few.
BR
Her
knowledge
of
zoning
helped
to
rezone
that
what
do
we
have?
The
city,
including
South,
Boston,
Dorchester,
Fenway,
Roslindale
and
Hyde
Park,
as
well
as
helping
to
implementation,
leading
reforms
and
Coastal
resiliency.
Our
influence
on
approval
of
tens
of
thousands
of
housing
units
benefited
millions
and
created
billions
of
square
feet
of
commercial
Development
Across
the
city.
It's
a
testament
to
the
love
she
had
from
all
neighborhoods
and
her
goal
to
make
the
city
better.
She
will
be
thoroughly
missed.
BR
So
thank
you
and
all
for
our
condolences
to
our
family.
Another
couple
of
specific
personal
notes:
I
wanted
to
offer.
As
Jeff
Hampton
noted
earlier
in
tonight's
testimony,
Brian
klaskov
will
be
retiring
from
the
dpda
at
the
end
of
this
month.
I
want
to
sincerely
thank
him
for
his
service
to
the
agency
over
the
last
nine
years
prior
to
working
at
bpda.
BR
Brian
was
the
commissioner
of
ISD
leading
instructional
services
and
also
the
head
of
our
Conservation
Commission
and
Air
Pollution
Control
Commission,
his
knowledge
of
the
rules
and
the
the
details
of
how
development
takes
place
in
Boston
is
really
unrivaled
and
we're
he's
got
nearly
40
Years
of
Public
Service
under
his
belt
beginning
under
mayor
Ray
Flynn
from
almost
here
Brian.
BR
We're
also
saying
goodbye
to
another
key
staff
person.
Chris
Bush
he's
leaving
us
he's
been
that
our
assistant
deputy
director
for
climate
change,
environmental
planning,
he's
worked
here
for
more
than
a
decade,
been
getting
his
work
here
in
2012.
he
was
at
the
executive
secretary
for
the
Boston
Conservation
Commission.
His
work
has
really
been
distinguished,
especially
in
the
area
of
climate
change,
specifically
his
work's
focused
on
downtown
South
Boston
Harbor
plans,
Floyd
overweight,
District
appeals
of
the
FEMA
flood
mapping
and
modeling,
along
with
work
in
the
Raymond
Illinois
Marine.
BR
Industrial
Park
valuing
your
contributions,
Chris
and-
and
you
know,
thank
you
for
your
service
and
making
the
city
more
environmentally
resilient
should
be
the
very
best
on
to
a
couple
of
other
notices.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
I
thank
you
board
members
for
your
work
and
importantly,
thank
the
staff
who
spent
enormous
time
engaging
with
the
matapan
community
in
an
issue.
That's
been
five
years
in
the
making
the
major
success
for
the
community
and
they
had
an
integral
role
in
shaping
this
plan.
Since
2018.
BR
BR
I
want
to
thank
the
community
for
showing
up
so
many
times
and
voicing
their
opinions
and
we're
looking
forward
to
implementing
this
plan
in
partnership
with
them
about
900
Morrissey
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
say
thank
you
to
the
proponent
and
to
the
community
that
will
be
working
together
to
make
this
project
and
that
neighborhood
a
success.
BR
The
product
is
going
to
create
99
new
income,
restricted
homes
for
people
formally
experiencing
homelessness,
with
a
preference
to
senior
citizens
the
products
consistent
with
the
goal
of
providing
affordable
housing
for
Palestinians
and
supporting
mixed
income
communities
and
increasing
access
to
opportunity
through
the
project
Supportive
Services
I
know
this
project
has
evoked
strong
feelings.
I
acknowledge
that
these
decisions
are
difficult,
but
I
want
to
stress
the
importance
of
having
permanent
support
of
housing
throughout
the
city
of
Boston
and
in
every
neighborhood.
BR
It's
the
it
is
the
answer
to
the
homelessness
and
we
I
know
it's
difficult.
I
know
that
there's
fear
involved
in
decisions
like
this,
but
I,
think
you
have
one
of
the
nation's
leading
providers
involved
in
this
work
and
both
in
the
testimony
of
the
board
and
from
testimony
of
citizens.
Tonight
I
think
you're,
hearing
that
people
who
have
had
the
experience
of
working
with
Pine
Street
know
what
they
can
do.
BR
The
proponent
after
Community
input
reduced
the
number
of
units
in
the
project
and
that
also
agreed
to
adopt
a
senior
preference
which
is
going
to
be
recorded
at
the
advocacy
of
some
of
the
electeds,
so
that
so
that
62,
plus,
as
a
preference,
is
going
to
be
something
that's
going
to
run
with
the
land.
BR
BR
BR
Earlier
this
week,
I
had
a
chance
to
represent
the
administration
with
other
Mayors
who
could
not
attend
I,
attended
on
her
behalf
and
sign
on
to
a
commitment
to
the
things
that
Luis
described
to
think
so
well,
it
aligns
very
much
with
our
current
Dei
policies.
You
as
the
board
and
the
staff
of
this
agency
have
been
in
the
Forefront
of
adopting
these.
These
approaches
and
I
think
that
was
recognized
in
at
the
compact
event.
BR
The
agency's
work,
such
as
procurement
and
the
like
excited
about
the
ongoing
work,
and
hopefully
it
comes
to
standard
for
the
we
become
the
standard
as
the
initial
Cooperative
communities,
and
that
it
inspires
other
cities
to
join
this
effort,
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
again
say,
thank
you
for
your
your
time,
attention
focus
and
helping
us
make
Boston
a
little
bit
grow
a
little
bit
more
with
today's
meeting.
Thank
you.
