Dr

Mason,

Not

yet
so
we'll.
A
A
I
motion
passes
item
number
two
request:
request
to
execute
and
deliver
a
memorandum
of
agreement
with
the
city
of
Boston,
acting
by
and
through
its
Property
Management
Department
authorizing
the
services
of
and
payment
for,
physical
security
and
emergency
response,
Services
provided
by
the
municipal,
protective
services
and
Municipal
operations
for
properties
owned

Thank
you,
madam
chair
Madam,
Secretary,
Chief,
Jemison
and
members
of
the
board
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
today.
As
the
sport
has
authorized
via
multiple
contracts
and
budgeted
Investments,
the
bpda
is
implementing
a
comprehensive
security
program
for
our
entire
real
estate
portfolio
as
one
measure
to
ensure
excellent
stewardship
of
public
property.
D
There
are
a
few
improvements
in
this
MOA
that
I'd
like
to
highlight,
which,
with
huge
thanks
to
Lauren
and
other
colleagues
at
the
bpda,
along
with
the
staff
in
Property
Management.
This
is
our
first
multi-year
agreement,
which
provides
a
solid
basis
for
our
partnership
through
fiscal
year
2026,
but
also
has
flexibility
to
make
adjustments
and
changes
as
needed.
We'll
also
play
pay
a
flat
fee
rather
than
reimbursement,
based
on
hourly
rates,
which
makes
our
budget
more
predictable
and
ties
our
investment
explicitly
to
the
services
and
responsibilities
of
the
municipal,
Protective
Services.
D
Finally,
those
services
and
responsibilities
have
been
defined
in
much
greater
detail,
including
centralized
video
surveillance
and
alarm
management.
This
shared
services
model
provides
cost
savings
and
increased
collaboration
with
our
sister
agencies
across
the
city.
The
estimated
budget
for
this
MOA
is
701
639
approximately
annually.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
at
this
time.

These

especially
given
the
relocation

several
staff
recently
to
12

As

a
nine-story
masonry,
building

D
Thank
you,
madam

for
this
opportunity
to

before

yet
again,
as
authorized
by
this

in
April,
BPD
staff
issued
an
invitation
for
bid
for
storm
during
cleaning
and
Camera
investigation
in
the
Raymond
Alpine
marine
park.
To
reiterate
the
background
for
this
project,
we're
conducting
a
comprehensive
assessment
of
the
storm
drainage
system
within
the
190
Acres
of
the
marine
park.
That
assessment
will
yield
recommendations
to
Advanced
climate
resiliency
and
future
capacity.
In
the
meantime,
it
revealed
the
need
for
additional
maintenance
through
a
public
competitive
procurement
process.
We
received
three
bids
for
this
work.
D
Rapid
flow
Incorporated
is
a
family-owned
business
based
here
in
Massachusetts,
and
is
the
responsive
and
responsible
bidder
with
the
lowest
total
bid
price.
The
awarded
contract
will
have
a
term
of
one
year
with
two
one-year
options,
with
a
total
cost
not
expected
to
exceed
277
950,
which
is
within
or
under
our
estimated
budget.
Thank
you
once
again
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions.

of

definitions;
project,
which
updates
and
consolidates
the
definitions
of
applicable
terms
appearing
in
both
Article
2
and
non-2.
Articles
of
the
zoning
code,
Cyrus
and.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
pohimis
and
director
jemisin.
For
the
record.
My
name
is
Cyrus
muselli
and
I
am
a
planning
assistant
with
the
zoning
reform
team
at
the
bpda
and
I'm
here
to
today
to
talk
about
the
next
phase
of
the
agency's
ongoing
definitions
project
next
slide.
Please
I'd
like
to
start
by
giving
a
little
context
into
the
Boston
zoning
codes,
definitions
prior
to
the
start
of
the
definitions,
project,
zoning
code
defined
terms
in
multiple
ways
and
in
multiple
locations.
K
These
terms
can
be
found
in
both
overarching
sets
of
definitions,
the
former
articles,
2
and
2A,
which
apply
to
large
swaths
of
the
code,
as
well
as
in
the
provisions
of
many
non-definitions
zoning
articles,
meaning
the
individual,
neighborhood
or
District
articles
of
the
code.
Each
of
these
sets
of
definitions
evolve
at
different
times
and
largely
independent
of
one
another.
Having
multiple
sets
of
definitions
with
missing
terms
and
subtle
distinctions
between
definitions
has
long
been
a
source
of
confusion
for
practitioners
and
laypersons
alike.
So
to
resolve
this
issue,
the
BPA
launched
the
definitions
project
next
slide.
K
A
new
Article
2
that
could
serve
as
a
foundation
to
build
upon
phase
two
of
the
project
aims
to
further
these
efforts
by
standardizing
and
consolidating
terms
defined
in
both
Article
2
and
other
non-2
articles
of
the
code,
because
some
of
these
terms
will
require
more
substantive
updates
to
resolve.
This
phase
has
been
divided
into
two
parts.
K
Phase
2A,
which
we're
talking
about
today
includes
those
terms
requiring
non-substantive
updates,
resolve
phase
two
will
tackle
the
terms
requiring
more
comprehensive
changes,
including
many
of
the
dimensional
terms,
so
to
speak,
including
far
GFA
and
Building
height
base
3,
which
will
come
later,
will
focus
on
modernizing
our
zoning
definitions
and
creating
a
more
user-friendly
code
next
slide,
focusing
in
on
today's
content,
it's
important
to
first
give
some
context
into
phase
2A,
as
I've
mentioned.
K
terms.
With
consistent
definitions
between
the
various
sections
were
handled
by
removing
the
non-to
non-article
2
iterations
from
the
code,
if
approved,
these
updates
will
further
the
bpda's
efforts
to
remove
duplicate
and
incongruent
language
from
the
code,
make
definitions
easier
to
update
in
the
future
and
continue
to
set
a
strong
and
holistic
foundation
for
code
updates
to
come.
K
Please
note
that
the
updates
proposed
in
Phase
2A
will
not
substantively
affect
the
meaning
function
or
operation
of
the
code.
These
updates
went
through
a
rigorous
legal
review
to
ensure
this
would
be
the
case
next
slide.
Please
I'm
now
going
to
walk
through
a
few
examples
that
you
know
demonstrate
the
different
types
of
approaches
we
took
in
addressing
these
issues.
K
So
this
this
first
example,
Harbor
Park,
shows
a
case
in
which
the
existing
Article
2
definition
was
retained
as
it
currently
is,
and
for
this
you
can
see
that
these
definitions
are
are
similar
with
article
25A
and
article
85
referencing,
either,
provisions
of
or
the
entire
existing
Harbor
Park
definition,
and
because
of
this,
the
existing
Article
2
definition
was
retained,
while
the
others
were
removed
next
slide.
K
A
few
definitions,
though,
required
more
substantial.
Combining
and
editing
because
they
contained
more
explicit
contradictions.
For
example,
the
definition
of
downtown
has
multiple
meanings
across
the
code,
while
the
article
25A
version
references,
the
existing
Article,
2
definition
and
thus
can
be
removed.
The
article
85
iteration
differs
by
outlining
a
different
area
than
that
detailed
in
article
2.,
and
you
know,
because
of
the
policy
implications,
to
changing
the
article
85
boundaries
which
are
relevant
to
demolition
delay
in
the
city.
K
K
There
were
also
several
definitions
that
were
able
to
be
removed
from
Article
2,
and
one
of
these
is
you
know
the
term
facility
of
public
assembly
or
accommodation,
and
so
as
as
you
can
see
here,
you
know
these.
These
definitions
vary
widely.
You
know
between
the
different
articles,
but
you
know
because
the
non-article
2
definitions
outlined
you
know
ranging
uses
that
only
apply
to
specific
cases
and
areas
regulated
by
chapter
91
and
also
because
the
uses
described
to
articles
2
definition
are
regulated
through
different
use
categories.
K
In
addition
to
consolidating
overlapping,
Article,
2
and
non-article
2
terms,
phase
2A
also
proposes
to
update
the
definition
of
multi-family
dwelling,
while
the
terms
current
definition
details
different
Provisions
for
projects
in
base
code
and
neighborhood
districts
requiring
three
or
more
units
or
four
or
more
units
respectively.
The
new
definition
proposes
a
standardized
approach
requiring
four
more
units
across
the
board.
K
This
update
removes
substantive
duplication
within
the
definition
of
multi-family
dwelling
and
creates
alignment
in
the
regulation
of
MFR
across
the
code
and
because
there
are
no
existing
base
code
districts
that
allow
one
or
two
family
dwellings
that
do
not
allow
three
or
more
units.
This
could
be
changed
without
substantively
changing
the
meaning
or
operation
of
the
code
to
kind
of
fill
in
the
Gap.
K
A
new
three
family
use
category
with
the
same
allowances,
as
the
existing
MFR
item
has
been
added
to
the
article
8
use
tables
for
consistency
in
the
base
code
and
just
to
reiterate
on
this
point,
this
update
will
not
impact
the
existing
regulation
of
housing
throughout
the
code
and
either
the
base
code
or
neighborhood
articles
next
slide.
K
It's
important
to
note
that
there
are
currently
no
existing
instances
of
either
sub-district
in
the
city,
thus
rendering
their
Provisions
obsolete
the
SNR.
You
know
sub-districts
are
holdovers
from
the
original
provisions
of
the
base
code
and
we're
superseded
city-wide
with
the
adoption
of
the
codes
neighbor
articles
and
through
their
Associated
redistricting
redistricting
efforts.
K
K
Before
we
close
out
our
presentation,
it's
important
to
note
that
this
project
again
emits
terms
requiring
more
substantive
updates,
including
those
relating
to
affordable,
housing
and
dimensions.
K
K
Cda
staff
are
currently
in
the
process
of
analyzing
potential
updates
to
dimensional
terms,
and
we
expect
that
these
will
require
a
more
substantive
public
process
that
we
envision
being
undertaken
in
the
near
future
before
coming
to
the
board
next
slide
and
with
that
we
will
close
out,
but
before
passing,
the
mic
over
I
would
also
like
to
introduce
Kathleen
onifer
at
the
bbda's
interim
director
deputy
director
of
zoning
reform
to
the
panel
here,
and
just
to
tell
you
guys
that
you
know
the
two
of
us
are
glad
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
A
Following
this
effort,
this
effort
on,
since
you
know
since
we
started
it
so.
C
Yeah,
while
we
won't
have
references
to
dance
halls
and
Drive-ins,
you
know
the
the
work
that
you
guys
do
is.
A
Very
much
needed
to
you
know:
try
to
streamline,
get
efficiencies
and
yeah
so
quick
question
now
from
I
guess
how
how
comfortable
are
we
that
the
terms
are
broad
enough
that
we'd
be
able
to
grow
into
them
right
like
that?
It's
you
know
that
we
won't
have
to
go
through
this
exercise
again
in
this
same
way
like,
and
do
we
plan
on
on
a
regular
basis,
kind
of
revisiting
these
definitions
to
make
sure
they're
still
applicable.
K
How'd
that
work
well,
thank
you
and
and
I
think
that's
I,
think
that's
a
great
question.
You
know
I.
Think
part
of
the
the
issue
that
we
find
ourselves
in
right
now
is
that
we
have
terms
to
find
everywhere.
You
know
these.
These
sets
of
definitions
evolved
kind
of
separately
independently
of
one
another
which
makes
kind
of
keeping
a
lid
on
on
our
definitions
throughout
the
zoning
code.
Hard
hard
to
do
so.
I
think
that
you
know.
Ideally,
you
know
we
will.
K
We
will
find
ourselves
in
a
situation
in
which
we
have
one
body
of
definitions
that
will
be
able
to
apply
to
you
know
the
code
as
as
a
whole,
and
in
doing
so
in
establishing
that
kind
of
foundational
piece,
there
will
be
able
to
more
efficiently
update
terms
over
time,
as
updates
are
required.
A
Great
but
I
think
the
second
part
of
my
question
and
is
just
more
of
the
the
review
part.
Is
there
a
you
know,
control
monitor.
C
Is
there
a
controlling
place
whereby
you
know
we
have
Incorporated
a
regular.
A
Review
at
the
appropriate
frequency
of
these
definitions,
right
to
is
more
of
the
the
second
question.
I
was
asking.
K
Certainly
they're
they're,
currently
is
is
not
kind
of
a
standard
operating
procedure
for
you
know
reviewing
you
know
the
set
of
definitions
as
a
whole
on
a
kind
of
rolling
basis,
but
I
think
that
is
something
that
we
can
certainly
explore,
implementing
in
in
future
phases
and
and
moving
forward
here.
A
Awesome
thanks
so
much
and
yeah.
You
know
highly
recommend
it.
So
you
know
it's
a
really
good
control
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be.
You
know
the
frequency
should
be
appropriate
of
the
review.
So,
okay,
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
A
K
L
Good
afternoon,
chair
Row
House
members
of
the
board
secretary
pohimus
and
director
jemisin,
my
name
is
Amy
Chambers
I
am
the
planning
director
here
at
bpda.
I
am
joined
today
by
Sheila
Dillon,
chief
of
housing
for
the
city
of
Boston
and
Caitlin
Coppinger
interim
housing
manager
for
the
bpta
to
review
Boston's,
inclusionary,
just
inclusionary
development
policy
and
to
petition
you
to
recommend
approval
of
a
text
amendment
to
incorporate
it
into
our
zoning
code.
As
article
79
inclusionary
zoning
next
slide,
please.
L
L
The
image
on
this
slide
exemplifies
our
current
policy,
which
would
require
three
income
restricted
units
in
this
21
unit.
Development.
Next
slide
please
for
a
bit
of
context:
Boston's
IDP,
as
we
affectionately
call,
it
was
created
by
executive
order
during
the
Menino
Administration.
It
has
been
updated
over
time,
most
recently
in
2015,
where
the
current
guidelines
were
established
in
2019
through
2021,
a
home
rule
petition
was
floated
and
passed,
which
would
allow
igp
into
zoning.
L
That
petition
requires
that
the
provisions
of
the
zoning
text
be
reviewed
and
approved
by
city
council
prior
to
going
to
the
zoning
Commission
in
2022.
A
feasibility
study
was
initiated
by
the
mayor's
office
of
Housing
and
RTG
Associates
to
study
the
concept.
The
financial
model
enabled
the
city
to
test
prototypical
developments
to
understand
the
financial
implications,
changing
the
existing
of
changing
the
existing
IDP
ordinance.
This
was
a
traditional
pro
forma
analysis.
It
should
be
noted
that
the
rkg
associates
model
uses
both
the
internal
rate
of
return
and
cash
on
cash
calculations
to
evaluate
Financial
feasibility.
L
These
measures
are
standard
approaches
to
understanding
the
potential
performance
of
a
real
estate
investment
next
slide.
Please
I'd
like
to
begin
by
explaining
how
our
current
policy
works
next
slide.
Please,
the
current
IDP
policy
applies
to
developments
with
10
or
more
units
that
require
zoning
relief
through
the
zba.
The
provisions
of
the
policy
are
governed
by
zones
across
the
city.
L
Seen
in
the
image
here
next
slide,
please,
the
policy
requires
that
13
of
units
are
supplied
as
income
restricted
on
site
and
that
a
higher
number
of
units
18
in
zones
A
and
B
and
15
in
zone
C
are
supplied.
If
units
are
built
off-site.
It
should
be
noted
that
the
current
policy
is
generating
above
the
13
minimum
developers
are
already
building
into
their
financial
assumptions
a
greater
commitment
to
more
set
aside
units
than
required
on
average.
The
current
process
is
generating
a
set
aside
of
17
percent
of
events.
L
Next
slide,
please,
because
of
the
IDP
developers
have
created
over
4
000
on-site
and
off-site
income,
restricted
units
and
688
units
are
currently
in
construction.
In
addition,
developers
have
made
over
200
million
dollars
in
IDP
contributions
next
slide.
Please
now
I'd
like
to
go
through
the
proposed
text,
Amendment,
which
would
be
added
to
the
code
next
slide.
Please,
the
proposed
text
dictates
that
developments
would
not
need
zoning
relief.
Instead,
the
trigger
for
participation
will
be
simply
based
on
number
of
units.
This
threshold
is
lowered
from
10
units
to
7
units.
L
In
this
scenario,
this
text
would
allow
for
opportunities
for
developers
to
provide
a
full
payout
in
lieu
of
incorporating
units
into
the
project
for
a
partial
payment
where
the
requirement
for
units
is
calculated
to
a
fraction.
A
slide
please
for
rental
requirements
for
large
projects
and
pdas
developers
would
have
two
options
to
develop
on-site.
L
This
slide
provides
a
sample
demonstration
for
how
IDP
May
apply
to
100
unit
rental
development.
Under
the
current
policy,
13
units
would
be
developed
at
an
average
of
70
Ami
under
the
new
policy.
With
either
option
more
units
would
be
developed
at
deeper
affordability
levels.
Next
slide,
please
inclusionary
zoning
would
further
provide
requirements
for
homeownership
projects
for
small
projects
and
igp.
L
Only
developments
on-site
developers
would
need
to
provide
17
percent
of
units
for
square
footage
with
half
of
units
at
a
maximum
of
80
Ami,
and
the
remainder
at
a
maximum
of
100
Ami
developers
would
not
be
permitted
to
develop
off-site
units
next
slide.
Please
for
large
projects
and
pdas
developers
would
be
required
to
provide
20
of
units
or
square
footage,
again,
half
of
which
would
be
at
a
maximum
of
80
Ami
and
the
remainder
at
a
maximum
of
100
Ami.
L
With
these
developments,
developers
would
have
the
option
of
developing
off-site
again.
They
would
be
required
to
provide
the
20
of
units
or
square
footage.
They
would
be
provided
with
the
option
to
develop
either
rental
units
at
an
average
of
60,
Ami
or
home
ownership
units,
again
with
half
of
which,
at
a
maximum
of
80
and
half
at
a
maximum
of
100
Ami.
L
Next
slide.
Please
here
again,
is
a
sample
demonstration
of
how
IDP
May
apply
to
a
hundred
unit.
Condo
development
under
the
new
policy
with
either
option
more
units
would
be
developed
next
slide.
Please
finally,
I'd
like
to
provide
you
with
more
information
related
to
our
process
next
slide
in
partnership
with
the
mayor's
office
of
housing,
the
PTA
hosted
public
meetings
in
January
and
May
and
made
changes
to
the
proposed
text
in
response
to
these
meetings,
the
final
text
of
which
is
before
you
tonight.
L
With
regard
to
next
steps,
we
would
take
the
text
Amendment
after
your
vote
tonight
to
the
city
council
for
their
vote
and
then
finally
to
the
zoning
commission
for
final
approval.
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
you
for
your
time
and
with
that
Caitlin,
Sheila
and
I
will
take
any
questions
you
may
have.
A
Awesome,
thank
you
so
much
Amy
and
you
know
to
the
to
the
entire
cross-functional
team
at
the
city
who
was
involved
in
analyzing.
This,
like
I,
recognize
that
there
are
many
strong
views
on.
A
Both
address
the
significant
housing
need
that
we
have
particularly
affordable
housing
in
the
city
and
still
make
Boston
a
attractive
for
developers
to
want
to
invest
in
and
make
sure
that
it's
financially
feasible.
Can
you
just
so?
Can
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
give
us
some
insight
on
the
you
know.
The
process
that
the
team
went
through
to
you
know
come
up
with
this
percentage.
H
I
can
I
can
try
to
answer
that.
Madam
chair
a
pleasure
to
be
here
today
with
all
of
you,
so
we're
in
full
agreement
that
while
we
want
to
increase
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
in
Boston
mixed
income
developments,
we
don't
want
to
do
so
in
such
a
way
that
we're
going
to
impede
market
rate
developers.
Because
that's
you
know
it's
very
important
to
our
economy
and
housing
Supply.
H
So
the
city
did
hire
a
consultant,
rkg
and
Associates
and
they
spent
months
working
with
developers
talking
to
Advocates,
but
really
looking
at
the
variables
that
go
into
development.
You
know
rents
and
costs
to
develop
and
interest
rates
and
what
land
values
were
and
what
what
what
a
land
value
could?
What
one
could
expect
using
certain
acreage
and
how
much
far
one
could
get
lots
of
analysis,
lots
of
discussion
and,
what's
before
you
tonight,
is
what
we
feel.
So
we
can
ask
developers
to
do
without
harming
development.
H
They
looked
at
lots
of
return
scenarios
and
we
really
made
sure
that
we
didn't
press
that
we
didn't
push
so
far
that
we
saw
projects
being
infeasible
now.
That
was
a
point
in
time
and
we
certainly
recognized
that
variables
have
changed,
but
as
interest
rates
have
gone
up,
rents
have
gone
up
a
lot
too.
So
there's
a
lot
of
variables
in
real
estate,
they're
always
shifting
and
changing.
But
we
really
did
our
best
to
look
at
what
we
could
extract
but
at
the
same
time
make
sure
that
we
had
Financial
feasibility.
A
H
Course
so,
right
because
before
we
started
this
with
both
linkage,
which
you
voted
on
earlier
this
year-
and
thank
you
for
that,
we
put
out
an
RFP
looking
for
consulting
firms
that
would
help
the
city
be
able
to
analyze
our
own
our
unique
variables
our
development
variables
and
make
give
us
recommendations,
build
us
a
model
that
we
could
that
we
could
use
to
really
look
at
this
policy.
We
had
two
two
responses.
H
One
of
them
unfortunately
dropped
out,
but
we
felt
comfortable
going
forward
with
rkg
they're
doing
inclusionary
development
analysis
throughout
the
country.
They've
done
many
local
ones,
but
certainly
they're
they're
working
in
major
cities
right
now,
so
they
really
understand
the
issue
and
they
really
spent
their
time.
Even
though
they're
not
Boston
based.
They
spent
a
lot
of
time
here,
working
with
developers
to
understand
our
own
unique
economic
conditions,
and
so
they
built
us.
H
A
feasibility
model
like
I,
said
looking
at
return
on
costs,
internal
rates
of
return,
really
stressing
various
real
estate
models,
small
and
large,
and
across
Boston.
G
G
H
H
We
wouldn't
be
honest
if
we
said
there
wasn't
right,
they're
going
to
receive
less
Revenue
they're
going
to
receive
Less
sales
prices,
so
we
we
know
that
part
of
this
exercise
was
making
sure
that
the
the
requirements-
what
we
were
asking
them
to
do
through
this
through
these
potential
changes,
would
wouldn't
be
such
a
that
wouldn't
impact
the
development
so
much
that
it
couldn't
move
forward.
I
may
not
be.
H
G
You
I
hear
so
many
people
that
are
looking
to
buy
a
home
get
started
in
the
city
right
now
that
a
couple
both
working,
they
don't
qualify
for
the
affordable
housing,
so
their
market
rate
and
trying
to
find
something
market
rate
in
most
of
our
neighborhoods
Now
is
really
prohibitive
for
most
young
people
trying
to
get
going.
My
concern
is:
if
we
cause
a
developer,
to
have
additional
costs,
do
they
push
up
those
market
rate
units
and
push
more
people
out
of
the
the
ability
to
afford
in
Boston?
That's
I
guess
that's
my.
H
Question
sure
no
I
understand
that
I
understand
that
you
know.
We
certainly
hear
that,
and-
and
we
worry
about
that-
it
has
been
my
experience
but
that
the
the
market
Will
Will,
the
Market-
will
dictate
what
what
things
sell
for
and
what
things
ran
for,
so
developers
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
and-
and
they
could
certainly
correct
me
on
this
they're-
not
going
to
be
able
to
sell
things
or
rent
things
for
more
than
what
the
market
will
will
allow.
So
I
believe
it
is
the
mark
of
the
dictates.
H
Now
we
things
need
to
be
feasible
right
and
the
churns
need
to
be
there
for
Equity
investors
and
developers.
Otherwise
they
don't
have
a
feasible
project,
so
they
are
going
to
have
to
push
rents
and
sales
to
a
point
where
the
project
may
make
sense
for
them
and
their
investors,
but
they
can't
push
it
beyond
what
the
market
will
bear
and
that's
typically,
they
are
very
close
to
what
the
market
will
bear
and
when
they
put
together
their
pro
forma
and
Analysis.
H
So
it's
my
opinion
that
the
market
dictates
what
what
you're
referring
to
Awards
and
the
the
market
will
dictate
those
the
costs
and
sales
More
Than
This
policy
understood.
L
I
I'm
sorry
chair,
I,
just
wanted
to
piggyback
on
that
to
add
that
the
speaking
of
the
market
and
speaking
of
the
kind
of
existing
stream
that
there
is
on
the
market
with
regard
to
affordability,
that
there
is
a
finding
that
rkg
had
in
their
report.
That
speaks
a
bit
to
the
fact
that,
with
the
right
percent
of
affordable
unit
requirements
that
there
isn't
really
additional
strain
that
ends
up
getting
put
on
the
high
end
of
the
market,
but
but
in
the
right
places.
L
With
that
proper
percentage
that
increasing
IDP
or
the
opportunity
that
exists
to
increase.
Idp
really
only
serves
to
kind
of
offset
some
of
the
the
high
rent
or
high
sales
prices
and
still
create
that
opportunity.
So
the
the
finding
that
they
really
had
was
about
making
sure
that
we
we
found
the
sweetest
spot
that
didn't
put
additional
pressure
at
the
top
of
the
market,
but
still
allows
for
opportunity
for
us
to
ensure
that
we're
being
thoughtful
in
the
creation
of
affordable
units.
L
Furthermore,
I
mentioned
in
the
presentation
that
we've
been
paying
attention
to
the
policy
as
it's
been
in
place
today
and
the
effective
rate
at
which
we're
developing
affordable
units
under
the
policy
since
it's
been
in
its
current
iteration,
is
approximately
17.
And
so,
although,
on
paper,
it
looks
like
we're
making
a
huge
jump
in
terms
of
our
percentage
from
the
13
up
to
the
the
kind
of
average
20
percent.
L
We're
really
making
a
much
smaller
we're,
making
a
much
smaller
increase
in
terms
of
kind
of
filling
that
Gap
and
and
really
just
putting
into
place
recommendations
that
we
already
have
in
practice.
A
Thanks
Amy,
that's
a
that's
a
really
good
good,
Observer
observation
and
piece
of
piece
of
data
to
have
of
you
know
what
what
are
we
doing?
You
know
already
so
17
so
is
that
like
17
is,
is
the
average
of
what
we're
doing
for
like
projects.
H
That
that
is,
that
is
correct.
That
is
what
the
data
shows
that,
through
Community
process
through
a
lot
of
communities
really
looking
to
have
projects
provide
more
affordable,
housing
developers
has
have
stood
up
and
are
providing.
You
know
on
average
17
in
their
projects,
not
every
single
one,
but
on
average
17
percent.
A
Yeah
that
that
definitely
tracks
with
with
my
memory
of
what
we've
approved
additional
questions
or
comments.
N
N
So
my
question
similar
to
Brian's
and
I'm,
my
concern
is
I
I
talk
to
a
lot
of
developers
and
they're
they're,
extremely
interesting
and
nervous,
and
with
inflation
on
material
interest
rates
and
now
and
now
the
percentage
increase
for
the
affordables.
We've
all
heard
this
you
can
make
it
50
50
of
zero,
zero
right,
so
20
plus
18
of
well.
H
H
N
It
knows
like
Brian
mentioned,
the
money
is
going
to
come
from
somewhere
right,
so
you
increase
percentages
here,
then
that
makes
the
market
rent
costs
go
up
and
in
that
analysis,
did
it
show
that
properties
are
selling
or
renting
for
the
numbers
that
now
are
new
numbers,
because,
let's
face
it,
the
money's
going
to
come
from
somewhere
and
it's
not
going
to
come
from
developers
they're,
not
in
the
business
to
lose
money.
It's
not
a
hobby.
N
H
So
the
the
analysis
was
done,
I
want
to
say
it
on
the
exact
day
about
probably
about
five
or
six
months
ago
and
I
as
I
mentioned.
We
know
that
interest
rates
have
gone
up
slightly,
since
the
analysis
was
done,
but
rents
last
quarter
also
went
up
substantially.
So
there
really
wasn't
an
offsetting
I
just
want
I
do
want
to
mention
too,
that
there
was
a
lot
of
interest
from
The
Advocates,
that
the
these
units
serve
lower
income
populations
and
Amy
went
over
that
and
so
in.
H
When
we
looked
at
the
17
percent
and
I
can
talk
about
the
section
eights
in
a
minute,
we
really
went
back
to
rkg.
We
looked
at
our
own,
our
own
numbers,
and
we
said
you
know
if
we
drop
the
rents
even
lower.
The
returns
are
going
to
be
more
strained.
So
in
response
to
that,
we
dropped
the
requirement
on
the
lower
income
unit
rental
units
to
15
below
what
we're
seeing
now
just
to
to
react
to.
So
we
really
were
very
careful
with
any
requirement.
H
We
are
putting
forward
that
we
were
being
very
cheerful
that
we
still
had
feasibility
I
want
to
mention
that
one
another
I
think
it's
very
Innovative.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
developers,
because
we
do
want
development
to
happen,
we're
we're
receiving
the
income
they
needed
for
feasibility.
We
introduced
an
idea
that
they
could
use
mobile,
Section
8
for
two
reasons:
one
are
the
BHA
mobile
section:
8's
pay
very,
very
healthy,
High
rents.
H
They
use
small
area
fmrs,
so
the
rent
levels
reflect
the
rents
for
that
particular
neighborhood,
so
they're,
very
they're,
they're
they're
fmr,
their
Market
rents,
they're
very
high
rents.
So
we
thought-
and
also
too
it's
very
hard
for
mobile
Section
8
holders.
We
have,
we
know
to
get
into
some
of
the
inclusionary
development
units,
so
we
thought
this
was
an
ingenious
way
to
get
more
affordable
units
or
have
our
mobile
voucher
holders
access
these
units
at
the
same
time
generate
more
in
come
forward
development.
H
So
we
really
were
very
careful
about
making
sure
the
require
that
the
income,
if
we
were
requiring
something
we
were
you
know
for
lower
like
lower
rents,
You're
Bringing
Down,
the
percentage
requirement
required
and
if
we
wanted
to
serve
a
lower
income
population,
we
were
looking
for
the
use
of
the
vouchers
to
increase
the
the
rent
levels.
So
all
that
to
say
is
we
were
we
were
very
careful,
I
believe
in
our
analysis,
always
keeping
feasibility.
You
know
at
the
top
of
mind.
N
M
So
the
entire
feasibility
analysis
just
to
give
an
overview
looked
at
a
pro
forma,
which
is
how
developers
look
at
the
financial
feasibility
of
a
project
and
it
really
tested
two
different
things:
one:
the
cash
on
cash
return,
as
well
as
the
internal
rate
of
Revenue,
which
are
the
two
biggest
things
for
developers
to
take
a
look
at
whether
or
not
they're
interested
in
a
project,
and
we
ran
this
model
for
a
number
of
things.
So,
most
of
for
what
we
are
proposing
today
in
front
of
you.
M
A
developer
in
this
scenario
would
go
ahead
with
the
project
and
all
of
this
is
theoretical.
There
are
lots
of
things
that
come
into
play
in
terms
of
you
know
individual
developments
and
stuff,
but
we
everything
that
we
have
and
the
feasibility-
and
it
also
is
something
that
like
Leo
lender,
would
would
finance
and.
H
Right,
Mike
Mike
to
the
best
of
my
no,
the
rkg
and
Associates,
didn't
go
to
an
equity
provider
and
say:
would
you
fund
this
hypothetical
project,
but
they
did
know
what
Equity
providers
were
requiring
in
the
Market
at
that
time
and
said?
Yes,
this
project
would
be
feasible
and
an
equity
provider
would
invest
in
it.
Yeah.
A
Okay,
I
do
have
one
more
it's
kind
of
going
to
be
my
scene
for
the
meeting
right.
We
don't
know.
C
What
we
don't
we
can't
you
know,
we
can't
tell
the
future.
We
won't
know.
A
A
So
with
you
know
with
that,
because
we
don't
know
what
would
happen,
what
are
the
kind
of
control
and
like
regular
review
mechanisms
by
which
we
are
going
to
assess
this?
You
know
whose
responsibility
is
this
I
mean
I,
think
I
kind
of
answer.
A
Is
it
not,
and
if
we
saw
that
it
wasn't
kind
of
you
know
what
we
do.
L
Thank
you
chair,
so
we've
put
a
couple
of
things
into
place
with
which
you
analyze
that,
first
and
foremost
having
this
be
a
part
of
the
zoning
code,
provides
us
with
the
flexibility
to
come
back
and
to
say
hey.
We
need
to
make
this
change.
L
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
continually
monitoring
the
market
and
having
a
a
really
good
understanding
of
the
direction
within
which
it
is
going
and
delaying
the
implementation
of
this
policy
will
help
us
do
that
and
help
us
make
sure
that
we
do
have
a
good
understanding
of
the
direction
that
the
Market's
going
in,
so
that
we're
ensuring
that
everyone
who's
impacted
by
this
text.
Amendment
is
set
up
for
Success
at
the
time
that
it
goes
live.
A
Okay,
I
so
I
understand
the
delay,
but
just
kind
of
the
you
know
the
regular
monitoring
right
of
of
this.
That's
that's
the
piece
that
I
wanted
to
just
get
clarity
on
how
how
are
we
going
to
regular
regularly
monitor
whether
or
not
this
is
working.
H
If
I
could,
if
I
could
add
every
year
and
I'm
speaking
now
for
it
for
the
bpda,
so
pardon
me,
but
every
year
the
bppda
does
do
a
yearly
review
of
the
IDP
Iz
program,
what
it's
produced,
what
type
of
housing
is
produced
where
it's
produced
and
it's
you
know,
it's
been
a
really
successful
program
to
you
know
thanks
to
to
all
of
you,
so
those
yearly
reports
will
continue
and
if
we're
seeing
a
downturn,
the
number
of
units
produced
if
we're
seeing
you
know
projects
not
being
produced
in
certain
neighborhoods
right,
I.
H
Think
in
that
in
that
process,
in
that
report,
which
is
done
every
single
year,
it
would
be
very,
very
good
information
to
collect
and
analyze,
and
it
would
certainly
be
of
interest
to
all
of
us
certainly
interest
to
me
and
interest
to
the
bpda
to
dive
into
that
information
figure
out
what
is
working
and
what's
not,
and
if
and
if
something
does
need
to
be
adjusted.
We
could
certainly
do
that.
So
that
is
something
that
I
feel
very
comfortable.
H
You
know
saying,
live
and
and
because
it's
it's
important
to
all
of
us-
that
we
get
this
right
absolutely.
A
And
and
it's.
C
A
To
every
year,
reading
and
printing
out
and
referencing
it
to
you
know
to
say,
on
top
of
this
right
and
so
that
more
to
say
that
there's
lots
of
eyes
on
this,
and
they
will
continue
to
be
on
this
and
we
know
it's
more
than
just
an
annual
basis,
but
like
at
the
very
least
we
can.
A
You
know
rest
assured
that
we're
going
to
get
a
report
out
on
on
the
results
of
the
program,
so
additional
questions
or
comments
from
the
board
all
right
hearing
and
seeing
none
emotion
is
in
order.
Don't
move?
It's
not
gonna,
oh
for
a
vote.
Mr
Monahan
hi
thanks.
M
A
Okay:
item
number
seven
request:
authorization

execute
and
deliver
a
memorandum

Laura.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
the
opportunity
to
return
before
you
the
details
of
our
partnership
with
the
municipal
Protective
Services.
Through
this
memorandum
of
agreement
with
the
city
of
Boston's
property
management
department
are
consistent
with
my
presentation
to
the
edic
board
earlier
today.
The
key
locations
for
the
bra
MOA
include
bpda
staff
offices
and
are
open
to
the
public,
along
with
other
uses.
D
Specifically
I'll
highlight
the
China
Trade
Center,
located
at
2
Boylston,
which
is
home
to
the

R
R
Chair
members
of
the
board
director
Jemison
secretary
paulina's,
we
are
here
before
you
this
evening
to
present
the
proposed
project
at
76,
Ashford
Street,
located
in
Austin
near
Packard's
corner
the
proponents
of
the
project
seek
to
demolish
the
existing
building
occupying
the
project
site
and
constructs
a
17-story,
approximately
254,
785
foot.
Sorry
85
gross.
R
Importantly,
the
project
site
is
located
next
to
the
Future
West
station,
the
key
future
multimodal
connection
between
Austin,
lower
Austin
and
the
new
I-90
through
extensive
work
with
our
transportation
planning
staff
massdot
and
the
development
team,
half
of
the
site
has
been
reserved
to
be
sold
to
the
Future
in
the
future.
To
massdot
for
the
construction
of
West
station,
the
developers
have
agreed
that
the
money
from
the
sale
expected
to
be
near
4.5
million
dollars
will
be
placed
into
the
IDP
fund
for
use
in
the
Austin
Brighton
neighborhood.
R
In
addition
to
the
contributions
to
the
Future
West
station
and
IDP
contributions,
the
project
will
bring
a
number
of
other
benefits
to
the
area,
including
improved
Street
and
pedestrian
conditions
around
the
project
site,
additional
Street
trees
and
money
for
the
upkeep
of
Penman
Park
before
I
have
the
development
team?
Take
you
through
the
project.
I'll
have
Joe
Blankenship.
Take
you,
through
the
contacts
planning
context.
Thank
you.
T
Thank
you
Nick
good
evening
Madam
chair
Madam,
Secretary,
director,
Jemison
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Joe
Blankenship
and
I'm,
a
senior
Transportation
planner
for
the
Olsen
and
Brighton
neighborhoods.
The
proposed
project
is
located
within
the
Alston
Brighton
Mobility
study
area,
which
focuses
on
increasing
safe,
multimodal
mobility
for
all.
T
The
proposed
project
contributes
to
the
creation
of
transit-oriented
development,
described
in
the
Austin
bright
Mobility
study
and
is
key
to
the
success
of
the
Alston
multimodal
project
by
offering
to
set
aside
the
necessary
land
on
its
parcel
to
connect
to
the
Future
West
station
to
neighborhoods
South
Via,
Brighton,
Avenue
and
Commonwealth
Avenue
via
the
extension
of
Malvern
Street.
This
extension
will
serve
as
a
dedicated
transitway
and
a
dedicated
bike.
T
Ped
Corridor
the
committed
land
for
this
project
is
critical
to
the
success
of
future
West
station,
while
the
project
will
need
relief
from
the
zoning
board
of
appeals.
The
project
provides
the
space
for
major
multimodal
infrastructure
improvements
that
will
benefit
not
only
the
ultimate
neighborhoods
but
the
region
as
a
whole.
The
project
team
should
continue
to
coordinate
with
the
city
of
Boston
Massachusetts
DOT
and
the
MBTA
to
ensure
that
the
alignment
with
ongoing
planning
efforts
continues.
I'll
now
turn
it
over
to
the
proponent
to
begin
their
presentation.
U
Thank
you,
Nick.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members,
the
board
secretary,
kalimus
director,
jemisin
attorney
Jeff
Drago,
with
Drago
and
Toscano
here
on
behalf
of
my
the
applicant
and
developer
City
Realty,
you
will
hear
from
Josh
fetterman
one
of
the
principals
in
a
few
moments
from
City,
Realty
and
also
dartanian
Brown
from
Embark.
That
will
take
you
through
the
plans
portion.
U
We
are
excited
to
be
here
today
for
this
long-awaited
project
since
acquisition
up
until
the
project
that
we're
showing
you
tonight.
It
has
been
the
better
part
of
five
years
that
we've
worked
with
Mass
DOT
in
the
state,
the
city
of
Boston,
as
well
as
the
community,
to
get
to
the
project
that
we're
showing
you
tonight.
This
project,
as
was
mentioned,
isn't
an
industrial
Corridor
next
to
Boston,
University's
fields
and
some
industrial
parcels,
and
there
is
now
a
residential
component
across
the
way
as
well.
U
The
project
that
we're
showing
you
the
proposal
is
to
demo
the
existing
one-story
industrial
parcel
and
we
would
be
creating
a
mixed-use
residential
building,
which
my
client
felt
was
more
conducive
and
would
Revitalize
the
section
of
Allston.
The
unit
found
will
be
254
residential
units
with
13
810
square
feet
of
amenity
space.
That
would
also
include
1875
square
feet
of
ground
story,
retail
space
as
well
with
63
Associated
parking
spaces.
This
project
would
also
have
312
bike
parking
spaces
on
site.
This
project
is:
has
a
strong,
affordable
component
as
well
as
was
mentioned.
Not
only.
U
U
Also,
this
project
is
ideally
ideally
built
for
those
commuters.
As
was
mentioned,
this
project
is
going
to
be
the
Gateway
to
the
West
station.
It
also
has
encourages
other
modes
of
transportation
by
bike
parking
on
site
donating
to
a
blue
bike
station,
and
it's
also
a
shot
walking
distance
to
the
MBTA
green
line
as
well
as
part
of
our
process.
We
had
a
strong
community
outreach.
U
This
just
shows
you
a
contact
site.
You
can
see
our
location
highlighted
in
pink
and
how
close
that
is
to
the
proposed
West
station
behind
us
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
turn
the
project
over
to
Josh
fetterman,
one
of
the
principles
of
City
Realty.
V
Thank
you,
Jeff,
and,
and
thank
you,
madam
chair
Madam,
Secretary
members
of
the
board
and
director
Jemison
I'll.
Keep
it
brief.
Just
having
worked
on
this
project
since
late
2018,
we're
very
excited
to
present
to
you
tonight
and
and
share
with
you.
It's
really
been
a
a
great
experience,
working
with
all
of
our
local
civic
association,
Civic
leaders,
the
task
force
members
and
it's
it's
been
great
to
see
the
project
evolve
over
these
years
and
we're
really
excited
about
this
key,
pivotal
Transportation
infrastructure,
to
kind
of
create
that
North
to
South
Bridge.
V
That
is
not
there.
So
it's
just
thank
you
again
for
your
time
tonight
and
we
look
forward
to
to
sharing
with
you.
U
I
would
now
turn
it
over
to
dartanian
Brown
to
go
over
his
slides.
W
Thank
you,
Jeff.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
dartania
Brown
from
Embark.
Again
as
Josh
and
Jeff
mentioned,
it's
been
a
robust
process
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
great
input.
That's
helped
shape
the
site
just
by
quick
context.
As
mentioned,
our
site
is
outlined
in
Pink
here
that
really
serves
as
a
unique
opportunity
to
connect
to
the
Future
West
station.
That's
really
played
into
how
we've
shaped
the
massing
and
strategy
of
the
site.
W
If
you
go
to
the
next
site,
please
you
can
see
part
of
our
study
working
closely
with
the
BPA
bcdc
was
just
how
this
Taps
into
the
future
West
station
and
all
of
kind
of
what
Harvard
and
the
beacon
yards
will
set
up
to
be
long
term
in
the
next
slide.
Please.
W
This
is
just
the
site
today,
as
it
exists.
So
just
the
view
down.
Ashford
Street
in
Malvern.
Part
of
what
you
can
see
here
in
this
area
is
really
what
will
be
a
60-foot
access
weight
provided
on
our
site
to
the
Future
West
station
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
denoting
that
area,
so
the
area
itself
makes
up
close
to
half
of
the
site,
and
so
that
again
will
provide
a
lot
of
coordination
with
the
various
vacancies
access
up
to
the
Future
West
station,
which
is
on
page
right
next
slide.
W
In
the
short-term
interim,
we
would
use
this
space
really
for
future
staging
of
West
station
and
then,
if
we
don't
mind,
go
to
the
next
type
of
place,
once
West
station
is
built
and
up
and
running
what
we've
done
is
really
allowed
the
ample
programming
space
from
pedestrian
walkways
by
and
then
bus
access
to
and
from
all
within
the
Sun
in
the
neck.
W
Sorry,
actually,
we
can
stay
here
at
part
of
the
programming
too,
was
just
really
how
to
get
a
very
vibrant
ground
floor
of
the
building,
so
full
full
kind
of
exposure
along
the
entire
side
to
the
two
retail
spaces
that
will
face
the
future
West
station
next
slide.
Please,
and
then
this
section
at
the
top
of
the
page,
is
really
understanding
today's
build
condition
with
kind
of
the
future
growth
I've
I'm
here
putting
in
the
infrastructure
in
place
that
would
allow
us
to
essentially
connect
up
to
a
West
station.
W
One
thing
I
did
mention
earlier,
but
they
will
be
a
great
change
to
connect,
so
we
allowed
or
planning
from
that
for
day
one
and
then
in
the
lower
section
kind
of
the
future.
Bill
condition
would
allow
this
infrastructure
kind
of
buffering
to
stay
in
place
and
then
tap
into
that
to
allow
the
kind
of
long-term
conditions
next
slide.
Please,
and
then
we
have
a
series
of
views.
W
That's
actually
just
inserting
our
building
into
the
context
of
you
know
the
greater
neighborhood,
and
so
this
is
the
current
Mass
Pike
as

Thank
you.
S
Thanks
Quinn
good
evening,
chair
Rojas
members
of
the
board
I
wanted
to
present.
First,
the
excuse
me
of
Stewart
Street
planning
study
that
was
adopted
by
the
then
bra
board
in
October
2015
and
then
subsequently
adopted
the
next
year
as
zoning
article
48.
That
Quinn
mentioned
the
key
goals
of
that
planning
study
were
searching
for
a
place
where
it's
appropriate
for
back
pain
to
grow
and
also
looking
at
the
public
realm
improvements
needed
to
accommodate
that
growth
and
that
included
in
the
zoning.
S
A
half
percent
construction
cost
contribution
for
either
public
realm
improvements
or
for
public
art.
It
encouraged
ground
floor
uses
that
were
active
at
the
parcel
scale.
I
looked
at
preservations
of
of
national
register
eligible
buildings
and
then
at
the
district
scale.
The
preservation
story
was
also
relevant
in
that
north
of
Boylston
Street.
That's
the
area
that
is
the
historic
architectural
District,
where
height
is
less
appropriate
but
south
of
Boylston
Street
in
the
Stuart
Street
Corridor.
S
Not
only
is
it
not
in
that
Historic
Landmark
District,
but
it's
also
the
part
of
the
neighborhood
that
is
best
served
by
transit,
most
appropriate
for
new
growth
on
the
next
slide.
You'll
see
that
this
is
a
great
example
and
I'm
as
a
planner
really
excited
to
present
this
project,
because
it's
a
really
excellent
manifestation
of
this
team's
planning
efforts
a
few
years
ago
in
the
built
form
hopefully-
and
you
can
see
this-
is
the
base
of
the
hotel
Tower,
the
growth
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
S
This
is
a
21-story
building,
but
it's
essentially
across
the
street
from
an
orange
line,
commuter
rail
and
Amtrak
station
early
on
in
our
review
process.
We
strongly
suggest
it
to
the
proponents
that
they
consider
the
half
percent
of
construction
costs
for
public
realm
to
be
part
of
their
program
rather
than
public
art
and
through
our
review
process.
We
work
to
develop
with
this
team,
the
public
Plaza
that
you
see
before
you
that
would
be
an
extension
of
Garcia
Park
in
terms
of
the
historic
preservation
at
the
parcel
scale
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
S
The
historic
Stables
building
that
is
there
now
is
being
the
facade,
is
being
preserved
and
integrated
into
the
proposed
program,
and
then
the
hotel
use
is
that
Quinn
mentioned
earlier
will
activate
and
animate
the
ground
floor
in
a
manner.
That's
consistent
with
the
planning
guidelines
so
with
that
I'll
now
turn
it
over
to
the
proponents
to
present
their
project.
Thank
you.
Y
Thank
you
very
much
Ted
good
evening
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
director
Jemison
and
secretary
Paul,
hemis
I'm,
Don
Wiese,
the
permanent
Council
for
the
project.
In
a
moment,
I
will
turn
our
presentation
over
to
our
design,
lead,
Harry
wheeler,
a
group
one
Architects
I'd
like
to
make
a
couple
of
preliminary
comments,
one
on
behalf
of
the
team
I'd
like
to
extend
our
personal
appreciation
to
our
project
manager,
Quinn
falsich.
Y
This
is
a
buy
right
project
as
you've
just
heard
from
Quinn
Ted.
One
might
therefore
thank
you
with
a
relatively
straightforward
project,
but
it
ended
up
being
actually
quite
complicated.
We
had
very
clear
communication
consistently
all
the
way
through
from
Quinn.
There
are
a
lot
of
expectations
placed
on
this
project,
but
we
always
understood
exactly
what
those
were
and
when
we
needed
access
to
City
resources,
because
we
need
to
coordinate
with
a
number
of
different
city
departments.
Y
Y
From
an
operational
standpoint,
also
from
an
aesthetic
stand
point
out,
a
good
time
to
the
park
was
also
a
complicated
challenge.
The
team
did
preliminary
design
work
in
very
close
consultation
with
bbda
staff
and
with
BTD
staff,
and
although
that
is
a
separate
project
from
ours,
it's
obviously
very
closely
coordinated
and
that
coordination
produced
some
some
really
wonderful
results.
So
we've
been
fortunate
on
this
project
had
an
extremely
strong
design
team.
Y
Z
Thank
you,
Don
members
of
the
board
again
to
Echo
Don's
comments.
I
want
to
appreciate
and
thank
everybody
from
the
bpda
bcdc
Boston
landmarks
and
all
the
staff
that
was
worked
with
us
along
through
getting
this
project
to
where
it
is
today.
So
with
that
I'll
quickly
go
through
the
project.
If
we
can
jump
to
the
next
slide,
our
site
is
outlined
here
in
yellow
and
blue
on
Stanhope
Street,
the
existing
Red
Lantern
site,
opposite
Frida,
Garcia
Park
between
Clarendon
Street
and
stand
on
Stan
Hub
Street
next
slide.
Z
Some
existing
photos
of
the
existing
stable
building
with
the
stay
at
home
street.
Currently
in
the
condition
it
is
today
with
vehicular
access.
Our
project
on
the
top
left
slide
runs
from
the
tall
brick
building
up
to
The
Friendly
Toast,
the
green
roof
line
our
site
is
the
manside
roof
within
the
Red
Roof
red
shingled
roof
within
the
Red
Lantern
sign.
So
we
have
our
view
on
the
top
left
from
Stanhope
Street
on
the
rear
on
the
top
right.
Z
We
have
the
rear
of
our
building,
the
two-story
brick
facade
from
the
alley,
and
then
we
have
some
East
and
West
photos
of
Stanhope
Street
and
our
back
alley
on
the
bottom.
Next
slide.
Please
so
as
it
exists
today,
again
opposite
the
Frida
Garcia
Park.
You
can
see
here
we
have
outlined
in
in
green
the
entrances
to
the
park
on
the
Northern
edge
of
Stanhope
Street
in
Blue
on
the
existing
entrances
and
doorways
to
the
facades
along
Stanhope
Street
and
on
the
right
hand,
side.
Z
We
show
some
garage
access
and
parking
areas
for
our
adjacent
neighbor,
which
we're
all
planning
context.
As
we
looked
at
the
pedestrianization
of
Stanhope
Street
on
the
next
slide,
please
so
working
with
our
landscape
team
and
the
city
and
BTD.
Z
So
with
mixtures
of
patterns,
materials
and
accent,
colors
really
creating
a
live,
vibrant,
energetic,
pedestrian
realm,
with
addition
of
adding
New
Street
trees
along
the
northern
side
and
an
additional
tree
and
planting
bed
where
you
can
see
our
car
drop
off
loading
zone
for
guest
access,
which
is
now
the
new
intersection
of
Connor's
place
and
Stanhope
Street.
You
can
see
the
three
cars
practice
now
about
50
feet,
away,
35
about
50
feet
away
from
our
front
door,
but
a
good
entrance
to
the
you
know
to
the
hotel
and
the
ground
floor.
Z
Restaurant
next
slide,
please
so
going
through
these
slides
pretty
quickly.
It's
just
to
show
the
the
activation
along
at
Stanhope
Street.
As
we
again
Incorporated
the
stable
building
on
the
bottom
part
of
the
page,
you
can
see
the
extra
thick
wall,
which
is
the
existing
brick
facade
behind
that
will
be
our
activated
Lobby
and
entrance
to
our
restaurant,
which
is
actually
a
two-story
restaurant
which
you'll
see
on
the
next
slide
here.
Z
You
know
that
we're
very
sensitive
to
this
Dimension,
so
we
created
some
public
space
and
amenity
space
along
with
an
exterior
Terrace
at
this
level
to
provide
us
that
separation,
which
we'll
see
in
our
upcoming
rendering
next
slide
a
typical
hotel
room
floor.
Again,
we
have
up
to
300
hotel
rooms
within
our
21
story.
Building
a
very
dense
floor
plan
again
bringing
all
of
our
core
to
the
middle
you'll
see
in
this
plan.
Z
Z
On
the
top
floor,
we
do
have
some
meeting
space
and
Club
room
as
well
as
an
exterior
Terrace
south
facing
to
the
park,
and
also
you
know,
to
the
South
next
slide,
which
we
get
our
first
step
view
of
the
new
rendering
with
the
proposed
pedestrian
realm
improvements.
We
are
looking
right
at
our
guest,
drop-off
Zone.
Z
You
can
see
the
new
awnings
they're
restored
or
retained
facade
of
the
San
Hope
Street
Stables
the
activated
uses
behind
it
so
that
that
stable
building
is
now
very
lit
up
and
activated,
which
it
really
kind
of
exemplifies
and
the
architecture.
That's
that
we're
retaining
the
meeting
space,
which
provides
our
exterior
terrorists
and
the
separation
between
the
new
architecture
above
and
the
existing
Below
on
the
next
slide,
which
shows
our
you
know
further
back
view.
Z
So
really
great
again,
as
Don
mentioned
several
years
of
design
conversation
working
with
all
the
agencies,
we're
very
happy
with
this
that'll
come
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
and
thank
you
very
much.
This
is

it's
ideally
situated
for
Transit
oriented
design.

Next
slide,
please
thank
you
and
here
we're
going
to
show
you
a
sort
of
a
before
and
after
this
was
the
two
building
proposal:
Hyde
Park
running
in
front
of
the
project,
the
Milton
Street
and
the
father
heart
bridge,
going
over
the
tracks,
which
are
the
low
point
of
the
site.
The
building,
as
proposed,
was
five
stories
as
seen
from
the
public
way,
and
the
next
slide
will
show
you
sort
of
the
current
proposal.
So
this
is
the
current
proposal.
AC
AC
You
can
see
the
arrival
and
drop-off
area
at
the
pocket
park
is
right
along
sort
of
the
center
of
the
project
along
Hyde,
Park
Avenue,
but
that's
at
elevation,
88,
there's
a
privatized
Courtyard
at
elevation,
77
for
the
residents
and
then
the
tracks
are
down
another
15
feet
below
that
along
the
northern
side
of
the
page,
Milton
Street
and
the
father
heart
bridge
to
the
left
next
slide.
Please.
AC
AC
This
will
be
maintained
and
owned
by
the
owner,
but
fully
open
to
the
public
and
we're
looking
at
incorporating
some
memorialization
of
the
the
former
WP
WPA
wall,
that
is
in
various
states
of
disrepair
along
the
edge
of
the
current
site
and
we're
going
to
save
it
where
we
can
and
then
we're
going
to
repurpose
some
of
those
materials
into
this
park
design
as
a
way
of
memorializing
that
next
slide.
Please.
AC
These
are
again
before
and
after
drawings,
the
the
top
drawing
is
a
section
through
the
site
where
it
goes
from.
The
high
point
on
Hyde
Park
Avenue
drops
down
to
the
Courtyard
in
the
middle
and
then
on.
The
left
is
the
lowest
portion
of
the
project
where
it
abuts
the
the
train
tracks,
the
compete,
MBTA
and
commuter
line
tracks.
AC
The
the
lower
drawing
is
the
currently
proposed
you
can
see
dashed
in
the
the
story
has
been
reduced,
and
you
can
also
see
that
the
the
gap
between
the
two
buildings
has
been
filled
in
and
that's
where
you
see
the
the
units
in
that
section
drawing
the
parking
garage
now
connects
across
as
well
next
slide.
Please
now
I'm
going
to
show
you
some
current
views
of
the
current
proposal,
but
again
dashed
in
the
the
previous
height.
This
is
from
coming
down:
Hyde
Park
Avenue
from
the
north.
AC
Looking
towards
this
house
as
you
approach
the
site
next
slide.
Please,
and
this
is
from
the
opposite
direction:
father
Hart
bridge
and
Milton
Street,
going
off
to
the
left,
Hyde
Park,
going
at
Pike,
Park
Ave,
going
up
to
the
right.
You
can
see,
there's
some
up
and
down
to
the
grading
of
the
site,
and
you
can
also
see
the
WPA
wall.
AC
I
mentioned
that
we're
going
to
preserve
where
to
butts
the
bridge
and
where
it
begins
to
turn
the
corner
there
and
again
dashed
in
are
the
is
the
previous
proposal
from
that
was
approved
before
next
slide
and
then
we're
going
to
do
another
before
and
after
shot.
So
this
was
the
approved
design
from
before,
and
you
can
see
it
was
a
five-story
building
along
Hyde
Park
Avenue.
AC
This
is
the
arrival
court
with
the
pocket
park
sort
of
on
the
left
proposed
restaurant
on
the
right
with
the
cafe
seating
outdoors
and
you
can
see
it
was
a
five-story
building
as
I
mentioned,
so
the
next
slide
will
sort
of
toggle
that
and
show
the
new.
So
you
can
see
now
it
proposed
as
a
four-story
building
along
the
public
way,
thank
you
and
and
and
that
and
and
by
connecting
the
two
we
were
able
to
recapture,
not
all
but
most
of
the
square
footage
lost.
AC
So
we
didn't
lose
a
unit
count
and,
as
Jan
mentioned,
we
were
able
to
pump
up
the
number
of
IDP
units
and
I
think
we
have
one
more
image
and
it's
oh
I,
guess
I
guess
that
was
I,
guess
that
was
it.
So
you
should
open
it
up
to
questions.
G
I've
got
a
comment,
of
course.
Initially
I
was
really
excited
about
the
home
ownership
possibility,
so
our
residents
can
use
that
opportunity
to
build
wealth,
so
I'm
disappointed
that
the
homeownership
is
not
there.
Could
you
tell
me
the
main
reasons
why
that
wasn't
able
to
come
together?
The
reason
the
financing
wasn't
able
to
take
place
with
the
res
with
the
homeownership
component.
AB
AB
It's
impossible
to
100
certain
I
can
only
go
about
what
they
tell
me.
The
number
one
thing
I
heard
was
the
lack
of
comps
in
the
direct
area
so
that
there
is
no
Condo
building
anywhere
close
to
that
where
they
could
directly
compound,
and
that
alone
was
was
I.
Think
one
of
the
biggest
hurdles
there's
no
established
condo
Market
in
that
area
at
all,
and
the
market
is
already
skittish
as
is,
and
to
go
into
a
new
area.
The
frontier.
This
is
the
first
building
and
hopefully
the
whole
development
of
this
block.
AB
They
want
an
established
Market
that
proves
that
people
want
to
live
there,
that
people
are
going
to
take
the
train
to
work,
that
the
MBTA
is
going
to
do
the
airport
and
upgrade
that
service
before
they
take
the
risk
with
rents.
If
you
don't
hit
the
initial
number,
you
might
hit
it
in
your
five
or
year
10,
but
at
some
point
you'll
hit
your
number
with
condos.
G
A
Additional
questions
or
comments:
I
actually
have
one
question.
So
what
was
the
change
in
I
think
you
said
that
the
unit
stayed
about
the
same,
but
what?
What?
What
was
there?
Any
change
in
units
for
the
you
know,
reduction
of
the
story
that
dotted
line
spaced
everywhere
in
them.
AC
Yes,
we
we
revised
the
mix
to
to
be
more
heavy
on
the
smaller
units,
so
that
we
didn't
lose
a
bunch
of
units,
and
so
it
was
really
by
rejiggering,
the
demising
walls
and
the
unit
types
that
we
were
able
to
preserve.
The
the
unit
count.
A
B
Z
A
Okay,
so
it
is
5
30
on
the
dot,
we're
going
to
take
a
five
minute
break
and
and
then
we'll
start
the
public
hearing
portion
of
our
meeting.
So
with
that,
we'll
see
you
in
five
minutes,
5
35.
