Er.
D
Okay,
thank
you,
madam
chair
Madam,
Secretary
and
members
of
the
board
and
requesting
that
the
board.
Please
extend
the
tentative
designation
status
of
Thompson
Island
I
word
bound
education
center
for
the
Edic
birth,
ten
dock
and
adjacent
water
sheet,
and
also
to
who
vote
to
authorize
the
execution
of
a
license
agreement
with
them
for
the
term
use
of
the
property
we're
requesting
an
extension
of
six
months.
The
leased
premises
consists
of
a
section
of
dock
berthing
area,
security,
gate
and
adjacent
water
sheet
of
approximately
50
100
square
feet,
including
a
float
and
gangway.
D
As
you
probably
recall,
this
organization
was
tentatively
designation,
designated
at
the
January
2019
board.
Thompson
Island
Education,
outward-bound,
Thomson
Education
outward-bound
Center
is
a
501c3
nonprofit,
educational,
Corporation
and
conservatory
of
Thompson
Island
in
the
Boston
Harbor
Islands.
They
currently
operate
a
water
ferry
service
from
Lily's
premises
to
transport
over
2,500
Boston
area
school
students
to
Thompson
Island
through
partnerships
for
educational
programs.
They
also
operate
revenue,
generating
programs
and
activities
on
Thompson
Island,
including
weddings,
corporate
events
and
functions
and
team-building
retreats.
D
They
propose
to
redevelop
the
leased
premises
with
significant
improvements
to
the
existing
ramp
and
float
system
that
will
allow
for
expansion
of
their
programming.
Since
the
January
tentative
designation
staff
has
been
in
negotiations
with
Thompson
Island
OBE
C
senior
management
regarding
monthly
rent
payments
and
design
approvals
for
the
ramp
and
float
system.
Part
of
the
delay
is
that
the
organization
experienced
a
catastrophic
infrastructure
issue
on
on
Thompson
Island,
which
caused
them
to
divert
cash
flow
to
perform.
D
This
needed
repair
negotiations
between
Thompson,
Island,
educational
center
and
BPD,
a
staff
are
continuing
regarding
the
interim
license
agreement
payments
and
the
term
of
the
long-term
lease.
Today's
extension,
if
voted
will
allow
ago
she
ations
to
continue
in
a
way
that
ensures
that
the
assets
and
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
marine
park
are
managed
appropriately,
while
also
remaining
mindful
of
the
long-term
need
to
redevelop
this
property
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
D
A
E
You
a
company
called
advanced
electronics
was
founded
in
1972
and
it
had
been
intended
at
12
channel
Street
since
1993
they
were
a
computer
circuit
board
manufacturer,
citing
drastic
loss
of
business.
The
Board
of
Directors
of
advanced
electronics
voted
to
terminate
the
company
in
2005.
A
group
of
six
senior
managers
from
advanced
electronics
purchased
the
company
in
October
of
2005
and
formed
a
new
company
called
ad
katrana
EMS
agat
Ron
has
been
a
steady
10
into
12
channel
street
since
2005
and
has
increased
employment
from
five
employees
at
its
inception
to
the
current
85
employees.
E
They
still
make
computer
hardware,
but
also
are
involved
in
other
electromechanical
manufacturing
for
a
broad
range
of
industries,
including
medical,
military,
industrial,
telecommunications
and
alternative
energy.
Ad
control
has
recently
informed
B
PDA
that
it
intends
to
sell
substantially
all
of
its
assets
to
east-west
manufacturing,
which
will
rebrand
as
east-west
Boston
after
this
assignment.
Should
you
be
so
gracious
East
West
Boston
is
a
high-volume
contract
manufacturing
company
based
in
Atlanta
Georgia,
with
manufacturing
or
sales
offices
in
California
Georgia
in
North
Carolina,
as
well
as
the
countries
of
India
Vietnam,
England,
Costa,
Rica,
China
and
Israel.
E
It's
anticipated
that
east-west
Boston's
access
to
these
international
markets
will
result
in
an
increase
in
blue-collar
job
creation.
At
12
channel
Street,
the
purchase
of
agate
Ron's
assets
is
conditioned
upon
the
assignment
of
the
12
channel
street
lease
from
agate
Rhonda,
east-west
Boston.
Obviously
we're
here
to
recommend
approval
that
assignment,
but
before
that,
I
want
to
point
out
to
the
board
that
the
current
owner
of
ektron
will
remain
as
general
manager,
the
12
channel
Street
facility
and
will
continue
to
be
EPA's
main
point
of
contact
and
all
85.

You,
madam
chair
Thank,
You
members
of
the
board,
are
BK
to
tenon.
Llc
is
an
affiliate
of
related
bill
who
was
previously
awarded
the
rights
to
develop
parcel
k,
also
at
six
tide
Street
in
the
Raymond
awful
in
Marine
Park.
There
were
two
phases
to
the
redevelopment
project
and
our
BK
is
close
to
completion
of
phase
1,
which
is
an
approximately
125,000
square
foot.
Building
that
will
be
used
for
research
and
development.
The
project
is
now
known
as
innovation
square
or
is
q.
G
Rb
k2
recently
began
the
groundwork
to
start
phase
2
of
this
project,
which
will
consist
of
a
single
building
of
approximately
250,000
square
feet.
There
will
also
be
used
for
research
and
development.
The
project
is
directly
across
northern
Ave,
from
BPD
owned
office
space
at
22
draw
out.
Our
BK
2
previously
approached
the
BPD
a
in
order
to
lease
space
within
close
proximity
to
the
project
at
isq,
where
they
can
oversee
construction
on
a
daily
basis.
Sweet
202
at
22
dry
dock
is
the
form
of
BPD
a
model
shop.
G
It's
a
rundown
in
raw
space
that
needs
improvements
to
become
more
usable
in
market.
This
space
is
heated
but
does
not
have
air-conditioning.
The
windows
are
older
and
the
floors
are
original
and
knee
repair.
Our
BK
2
intends
to
invest
about
approximately
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
build
out
this
space
using
standard
partition
walls
in
demountable
wall
system.
In
order
to
create
office
in
conference
room
space
as
well
as
common
area,
they
will
also
add
lighting
electrical
outlets
and
possibly
a
kitchenette
at
the
expiration
of
the
lease
term.
G
Our
BK
2
will
remove
the
furniture
and
equipment
and
leave
the
fixtures
and
improvements
to
the
benefit
of
the
BPD.
A
our
BK
2
has
agreed
to
pay
$23
per
square
foot
for
the
entire
three
thousand
three
hundred
and
seventy
three
square
foot
space.
The
market
rate
for
similar.
This
is
the
market
rate
for
similar
spaces
that
need
improvement.
Bpd
a
will
receive
approximately
one
hundred
and
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
over
the
two
year
term.
G
H
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary
I,
am
Michelle
Goldberg.
The
budget
director
for
the
BPD,
a
I
am
here
this
afternoon,
seeking
an
approval
to
accept
a
$50,000
grant
from
living
cities
Inc
with
that
we're
also
seeking
approval
to
establish
in
a
memorandum
of
agreement
or
MOA,
with
the
office
of
Economic
Development
to
jointly
expand
that
grant.
Usually
I
am
before
you
seeking
approval
for
the
annual
budget
and
providing
budget
updates.
My
side
gig
here
at
the
BP
da,
is
serving
as
a
managing
procurement
officer.
H
So
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
take
this
opportunity
to
share
with
you
the
context
of
this
request
and
the
amazing
work
that's
going
on
around
this
grant.
These
are.
There
are
three
core
activities
happening
right
now
that
help
explain
why
we
are
receiving
this
grant
and
what
we
hope
to
do
with
it.
The
BP
da
is
internal
procurement
efforts
and
overall
mission,
the
city's
disparity
study
in
the
mayor's
executive
order
to
support
equitable
procurement
processes.
H
Since
my
arrival
in
2016
I
the
helps
the
BP
da
re-examine
how
the
finance
department
supports
and
administers
procurement
practices
throughout
the
agency.
We
have
made
great
strides
in
this
area,
though
it
is
slow
and
sometimes
painful.
We
are
seeing
more
bidders,
we
have
new
business
partners
and
we
are
having
rich
conversations
with
our
bidders
and
our
vendors.
The
truth
is,
if
you
want
vendor
diversity,
you
have
to
get
public
procurement
right
first,
with
the
Edic
being
under
the
the
the
BPD
a
is
umbrella.
H
The
notion
of
orienting
our
work
towards
economic
development
is
in
everything
we
do.
We
must
go
beyond
the
basics
of
public
procurement
and
ask
the
question:
how
can
we
make
sure
our
buying
power
has
impact,
and
it's
clear,
the
Edic
needs
and
wants
to
lead
in
this
work
when
it
comes
to
inclusive
procurement?
The
city
is
asking
the
same
question.
We
have
known
for
years
that
there
are
clear-cut
barriers
to
doing
business
with
government
entities,
some
of
those
barriers
come
from
the
state
and
are
valuable
in
protecting
the
public
dollar
from
abuse.
H
At
the
same
time,
some
of
those
barriers
are
of
our
own
creation
or
out
of
date,
which
results
in
less
people
having
access
to
business
opportunities
with
the
government
in
the
case
of
Boston.
We're
talking
about
an
almost
billion
dollar
marketplace
when
you
put
all
the
public
entities
together.
This
is
an
age-old
problem
that
has
troubled
the
public
sector
for
a
very
long
time.
The
city
has
done
disparity
studies
in
the
past
and
is
currently
engaged
in
a
study
that
includes
all
the
quasi
agencies.
H
So
that's
the
BPD,
a
Boston
Water
and
Sewer,
and
the
Boston
Housing
Authority
by
participating
the
B
PDA,
will
get
insights
into
these
barriers
and
help
determine
what
programs
we
need
in
place
to
expand
access,
an
opportunity
to
be
clear.
We
will
get
B,
PDA,
specific
results
and
B
PDA
specific
recommendations
in
addition
to
whatever
we
learn
from
the
larger
study.
The
hope
is
that
this
time
around,
the
disparity
study
will
be
conclusive
and
provide
us
with
the
foundation
for
compelling
advocacy
for
regulatory
change.
H
In
the
absence,
though,
of
a
successful
disparity
study
and
any
resulting
regulatory
change,
we
need
to
look
inward
and
work
on
whatever
barriers
are
under
our
control,
which
is
what
brings
this
conversation
back
to
general
public
procurement
in
the
living
cities.
Grant
there's
a
bit
of
a
Renaissance
going
on
in
the
procurement
world
and
both
the
private
and
public
sector
organizations
are
realizing
that
there's
a
great
opportunity
here
and
we
indeed
can
have
a
strategic
impact
if
we
are
mindful
and
intentional,
with
our
procurement
practices
everywhere,
I
go
in
the
professional
network.
H
People
are
talking
about
procurement
and
it's
socio-economic
impact,
which
is
really
weird,
but
we're
gonna
go
with
it.
This
is
where
living
cities
comes
in
thanks
to
the
efforts
of
our
colleagues,
Laura
Mele
with
the
BPD,
a
and
Charisse
turns
with
OED.
We
get
to
participate
in
this
fantastic
program
jointly
with
the
city
living
cities
is
a
philanthropic
organization
which
is
mainly
funded
funded
by
the
city
foundation.
They
have
convened
practitioners
from
ten
cities
across
the
country
to
participate
in
an
inclusive
procurement,
accelerator
program
that
is
examining
the
same
questions
we're
asking.
H
Basically,
their
operating
theory
is
if
local
governments
have
an
extraordinary
buying
power-
and
we
were
doing
all
of
these
things
to
improve
life
in
the
communities
that
we
serve.
How
can
we
make
sure
that
our
procurement
practices
support
the
effort
to
expand
economic
development
in
disadvantaged
communities?
H
Participating
in
this
cohort
has
been
profoundly
beneficial
for
this
organization
for
the
city
and
for
me,
professionally.
Boston
is
not
the
only
municipality
asking
these
questions
and
seeking
solutions
through
living
cities.
We
have
met
some
of
the
most
talented
public
servants
in
the
country
that
are
out
there,
conducting
disparity
studies
hosting
engagement
events,
pressing
against
their
internal
bureaucracies,
leveraging
technology
and
swimming
in
paperwork
to
find
a
way
to
ensure
that
their
jurisdictions
are
practicing
what
they
preach
and
spending
their
dollars
strategically
in
their
communities.
H
We
believe
that
the
living
cities
grant
will
be
a
powerful
ingredient
in
this
work.
Just
this
past
Friday
mayor
Walsh,
signed
what
I
would
argue
is
a
groundbreaking
executive
order
to
support
equitable
procurement.
It
goes
into
great
detail
outlining
exactly
what
the
expectations
are,
who
is
responsible
for
ensuring
that
this
work
happens
and
an
aggressive
but
reasonable
timeline
for
implementing
training
and
resources
so
that
all
stakeholders
have
have
what
they
need
to
execute
on
this
work?
H
We
collaborated
with
the
city
as
they
prepared
this
executive
order
and
we
are
thrilled
to
now
reflect
on
how
the
BPD
a
can
adapt
and
adopt
and
implement
this
order
into
our
own
operations.
I
anticipate.
We
will
be
back
next
month
to
present
our
plan
to
to
adopt
this
executive
order
and
we're
looking
forward
to
talking
about
that
with
everyone
in
the
meantime.
Holding
this
grant
will
allow
us
to
work
with
the
city
to
complement
these
efforts
with
additional
resources
prior
to
the
executive
order.
H
We
believed
we
should
hire
a
consultant
to
help
us
compile
the
data
and
publish
a
centralized
buying
plan.
Well,
that's
now
happening
inside
the
budget
process.
A
majority
of
the
city
staff
and
BPD
a
staff
will
be
able
to
get
the
buying
plan
off
the
ground.
So
now
we're
going
to
work
with
living
cities
and
folks
in
City
Hall
to
figure
out.
What's
the
next
best
option
to
make
sure
that
this
$50,000
grant
really
does
accelerate
inclusive
procurement.
With
that
I
will
conclude
my
presentation
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
any.
B
I'll
echo,
my
colleagues
being
thrilled
and
I
guess
I'm
expecting
that
when
you
present
again
next
month,
we'll
see,
if
not
necessarily
the
details
of
what
the
interventions
may
be,
but
at
least
some
metrics
they
get
us
beyond
where
we
are
at
this
moment
there
been
a
lot
of
studies
and
we
need
some
breakthroughs
at
this
point
that
demonstrate
that
we
can
actually
deliver
on
different
procurement
practices
and
practices.
So
you
should
expect
that
next
month,
I
want
to
see
some
specificity.
B
B
A
Favor
eyes
have
it
motion
passes.
Thank
you
great
job,
Michelle.

This
is
a
request
for
authorization
to
execute
an
engineering
service
contract
with
STV
incorporated
for
the
project,
mobility,
improvements
and
streetscape
design
on
northern
Ave
in
tide
Street
in
the
Raymond
Oakland
Marine
Park,
with
the
heavy
truck
traffic
in
the
park.
This
project
will
provide
a
protected
bike
lane
to
help
reduce
potential
bike
safety
issues
with
truck
traffic.
This
investment
for
dedicated
bike
lanes
will
assist
in
encouraging
sustainable
modes
of
transportation
and
reducing
possible
conflicts.
L
The
designs
will
include
the
following:
for
the
northern
Aventine
Street
areas,
we
conduct
a
complete
topographical
survey,
which
will
serve
as
the
baseline
for
all
the
construction
improvement
forms,
be
the
development
of
preliminary
design,
design
development
in
the
final
drawings
and
detailed
cost
estimates
suitable
for
public
bidding.
They
were
also
include
bidding
assistance
during
the
course
of
time
when
we're
actually
going
out
to
bid
soliciting
for
a
general
contractor
in
residence.
Generic
services
in
construction
administration
would
also
be
part
of
that
as
well.
L
At
this
time
and
consultant,
we
provided
p
IC
plans,
fund,
Milton,
Avenue,
High
Street
for
future
transfer
to
the
city
of
Boston
BPD,
a
requested
design
service
from
qualified
consultants
on
October,
2nd
2019
through
the
BPD,
a
RFP
process
and
I,
which
2mb
e
WB
firms
was
part
of
our
overall
solicitation
people
polls.
A
meeting
was
conducted
on
October
15th
for
form
submitted
proposals
to
the
PPD,
a
on
October
25th,
and
they
were
HDR
incorporated,
STV
incorporated,
which
included
Brennan
consulting
incorporated
as
their
surveys.
L
There
were
WPD
firm,
I
would
say
in
Hudson
and
McMahon
associates
and
I've
worked
with
all
these
four
firms
in
the
past,
so
I'm
familiar
with
them.
The
design
selection
committee
was
assembled
for
the
review
of
each
proposal
based
on
qualifications,
project
experience
and
reasonable
design
fees
and
based
upon
the
review.
L
M
L
Even
sure
if
they
even
came
to
our
people
polls
on
meeting,
but
it's
it's
way
off
in
out
of
space-
is
in
my
opinion,
but
and
the
other
ones
were
relatively
close,
STV
I
know
of
them.
I
know
the
project,
manager
and
I
know
some
of
the
other
upper
management
staff.
In
a
believer
that
they
were
the
right
firm,
so
we're
anxious
to
get
started.
B
L
Have
no
reason
to
believe
there's
anybody
at
risk
at
this
point.
No,
the
W,
be
there
a
survey
company
and
actually
we've
been
in
discussion
with
them
already
and
actually
they're
doing
their
homework
to
get
get
their
familiarity
because
we
want
to
do
a
topo
server.
You
want
to
do
it
out
there
when
there's
no
snow,
so
we're
doing
that
proactive
approach
now,
so
that
we
can
get
the
topo
done
and
then
that
were
there,
that's
the
baseline
for
all
your
construction,
drawings
thereafter,
so
I'm
very
comfortable.

December

There

since

Okay,.
O
O
P
Good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
and
Madam
Secretary
I'm
here
to
present
for
your
authorization,
a
contract
amendment
in
the
amount
of
$150,000
for
M,
BBG
and
BBJ.
Sorry
for
the
downtown
planning
study.
As
you
may
recall,
in
August
of
2018,
your
board
authorized
that
we
begin
work
with
BBJ
we've
since
progressed
rather
well.
We're
anticipating
still
finishing
the
study
next
summer,
but
we
do
need
some
extra
funds
in
order
to
complete
the
rest
of
the
study,
primarily
at
the
time
that
we
scoped
out
the
project.
P
Q
A
R
Afternoon,
madam
chairwoman,
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary
I,
want
to
take
an
opportunity
and
introduce
myself
Michael
Carruth.
Oh
the
deputy
director
for
urban
design
and
then
spent
a
few
minutes
of
your
time
to
introduce
the
staff
that
makes
up
the
urban
design
team.
I.
Think
I
will
be
coming
back
to
you
in
the
future
to
sort
of
give
you
a
sense
of
the
projects
that
we've
been
approving
sort
of
the
numbers
and
hopefully
to
show
you
some
examples
of
our
work,
so
first
I
wanted
introduce.
R
You
basically
are
divided
or
not
divided,
but
we're
cover
four
general
areas.
The
first
area
that
we
do
is
design
review.
So
we
perform
all
the
design
review
for
the
previous
slide,
showing
who
who's
on
our
team.
But
these
are
the
members
of
the
team
that
spend
most
of
their
time
reviewing
all
the
projects,
the
article
eighty
small
large
projects
that
come
before
you
on
a
monthly
basis,
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals,
often
preserver
Visal,
to
their
approvals
for
BPD,
a
design
review.
So
they
will
review
those.
R
A
number
of
our
neighborhoods
have
neighborhood
design
overnight
districts,
which
is
a
provision
in
the
zoning
that
requires
a
BPD,
a
design
review
for
projects
that
do
comply
with
zoning,
but
these
are
in
areas
that
have
been
determined
to
have
some
special
characteristics,
whether
his
store
or
other
items
that
it
would
be
important
to
do.
Design
review,
for
example,
Natalie
is
reviewing
most
of
the
signage
that
comes
through
us
through
comprehensive
sign
review
and
then
Jill
who
I
want
to
also
say
that
is
a
recent
Shattuck
Award
winner
for
this
year.
R
Does
all
our
comments
for
the
public
improvements
Commission,
so
anything
that
goes
before
the
Commission?
She
would
be
reviewing.
The
next
area
that
we
take
care
of
is
the
Boston
Civic
design,
Commission
Elizabeth
is
the
executive
director
and
she's
able
II
helped
out
by
both
Colleen
and
Natalie,
and
you've
seen
a
number
of
your
projects.
The
large
projects
come
through
here
have
gone
through
a
Civic
design,
commission
and
they
are
sort
of
the.
R
What
they
are
in
charge
to
do
is
basically
look
at
developments
to
make
sure
that
the
public
realm
works
well
with
the
city
they're,
a
body
of
I
think
nine
members
made
up
from
BSA
Boston,
Society
architects,
real
estate,
so
from
a
number
of
areas
that
have
something
to
do
with
development,
a
third
area
that
we
spend
time
on
as
a
design
support
team.
This
is
a
group
that
takes
care
of
our
wooden
3d
model.
R
That
I
think
many
of
you
have
seen
that's
what
Richard
does
he's
the
lone
person
that
keeps
that
looking
good
teaming
is
responsible
for
our
digital
3d
model,
it's
online,
so
which
is
a
very
effective
tool.
I
think
we
couldn't
really
function
without
someone
like
June,
who
does
all
the
urban
design
studies
that
we
use
is
when
we
are
reviewing
projects.
Large
and
small.
At
times,
we
will
need
to
do
is
some
sort
of
a
quick
analysis
to
determine
whether
or
not
that's
something
that
works
well
within
a
neighborhood.
R
We
also
try
to
look
at
these
in
a
greater
context
instead
of
just
an
individual
project.
So
if
someone
like
June
will
begin
to
do
a
base
map
that
begins
to
show
the
various
projects
that
we've
been
reviewing
or
have
it
approved
around,
so
those
are
very
effective
and
a
review
process
and
other
things
in
the
last
area
that
we've
been
taking
on
a
lot.
The
last
few
years
are
working
with
the
planning
department
and
planning
initiatives.
R
We
are
co-lead
to
amend
many
of
these
planning
studies,
so
I
think
it's
helping
us
advise
the
planning
team
on
urban
design
and
being
involved
in
that
part,
so
we're
a
pretty
busy
group,
a
group
of
14,
a
group
that
is
basically
spanned
from
over
20
years
to
within
less
than
two
years.
So
we
have
a
good
diversity
of
both
talent
and
experience
and
something
I'm
proud
to
be
working
with
so
I'm
willing
to
entertain
any
questions
or
any
suggestions.
A
A
You
and
thank
you,
you
and
your
team
for
the
work
that
you
do
appreciate:
okay,
all
right,
so
moving
on
to
item
number
10
request
authorization
to
amend
the
ground
lease
with
CVP
a
chain
form
chain;
Forge
LLC
as
a
tenant
and
REE
developer
of
building
1:05,
also
known
as
the
chain
Forge
building
located
on
a
portion
of
parcel
ny1
in
the
historic
monument
area
of
the
Charlestown
Navy
Yard,
to
allow
additional
time
to
close
on
construction
and
opportunities,
own
equity
financing
and
to
obtain
building
and
other
permits
and
approvals.
Dennis.
A
E
You,
madam
chair,
in
December
of
2017
BP
da
in
CVP,
a
chain
Forge
LLC,
while
referred
to
as
a
developer,
going
forward
executor
ground
lease
for
the
development
of
the
chain,
Forge
building
into
a
230
room
hotel
under
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
lease
the
developer
would
be
into
alter
the
lease
in
the
event
that
they
do
not
obtain
both
building
permits
and
financing.
By
a
date,
certain
in
September
of
2019,
the
board
authorized
an
extension
of
time
to
complete
financing
and
obtain
building
permits
through
November
30th
of
2019.
E
One
critical
financing
issue
was
remaining
for
resolution,
which
was
utilization
of
a
new
federal
opportunities
own
program
as
a
mechanism
to
access
equity,
as
opposed
to
conventional
financing.
I
had
previously
spoken
to
the
board
about
the
frustration
that
financing
delay
continue
to
bring
us
to
require
that
we
keep
coming
back
and
asking
for
an
extension.
However,
to
show
the
importance
in
seriousness
of
these
requests,
the
developer
agreed
to
pay
to
be
pda'
a
non-refundable
fee
for
the
extension
request
in
July
of
2019
and
an
even
higher
fee.
E
Two
months
ago,
in
September
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
these
extensions
have
borne
fruit,
and
the
developer
is
indeed
secured
commitment
from
an
investor
to
fund
over
50
million
dollars
in
equity
towards
this
one
hundred
and
fifty
million
dollar
project.
We
are
requesting
one
final
extension
to
allow
both
parties
and
their
lawyers
to
memorialize
the
agreement
in
accordance
with
all
applicable
regulations,
you'll
see
in
the
board
memorandum
that
the
developer
has
agreed
to
pay
and
an
additional
fee
for
this
request.
Such
extension.
F
E
B
B
E
A
S
S
One
is
appearing
before
the
board
today,
requesting
authorization
to
enter
into
an
easement
agreement
with
National
Grid
service,
their
newly
constructed
building
the
project
located
in
the
south
end
in
the
South
Cove
urban

area
is
adjacent
to
BPD
a
property
and
needs
approval
from
the
agency
in
order
for
National
Grid
to
install
a
gas
line
to
the
newly
constructed
building,
the
project
itself
has
a
very
long
history.
With
the
agency,
the
BP
da
issued
the
RFP
for
the
urban
renewal
parcel
in
2008
and
approved
the
development
of
the
site
in

That
is
unsupported
due
to
deteriorated
wood
pilings
for
the
majority
of
the
100-foot
length
that
spans
over
the
water.
Because
of
this
topside
depressions
of
seven
were
a
continued
problem
next
to
the
flagship
rotary.
L
So
in
simple
terms,
the
culvert
is
a
it's
like
a
square
tunnel
coming
out
of
the
dry
dock,
which,
when
was
operating,
they'd
use
that
as
a
mechanism
to
pump
the
water
out
of
the
basin,
it's
been
quite
a
number
of
years.
Since
now
it's
been
an
operation
and
part
of
the
problem
that
we're
dealing
with
is
the
the
culvert
itself
expands
into
the
water
barrier
once
it
leaves
the
land
side
and
underneath
the
the
culvert
itself
is.
L
Wood
pilings
and
the
wood
pilings
are
all
deteriorated
in
September
2018
BPA
engaged
the
services
of
power
engineers
to
evaluate
the
existing
conditions,
find
the
cause
of
the
settlements
and
solve
the
problems.
The
engineers
use
divers
to
determine
the
extent
of
the
problem
below
the
concrete
culvert
in
Wharf
area
and
determined
that
the
culvert
is
dangerously
unsupported
in
many
of
the
underwater
locations
due
to
the
deteriorated
wood
pilings,
the
recommended
repair
option
determined
the
safest
and
most
effective
repair
is
the
forming
and
pouring
of
a
fully
supported,
concrete
foundation
underneath
the
entire
unsupported
culvert.
L
This
is
a
difficult
and
costly
repair.
However,
the
option
ensures
worker
safety
so
that
no
workers
need
to
enter
the
space
beneath
the
unsupported
culvert
to
complete
the
repair
construction
bid.
Documents
are
now
complete
and
ready
for
public
bid
in
all
permits.
Our
Indian,
which
included
the
mass
department
of
email

Boston
Conservation
Commission,
is
in
hand
as
well
as
the
US
Army
Corps

which
is
an
amazing
task
to
accomplish

costs.

K
Chairman
members
of

on
August

the
board
has
authorized
staff
to
advertise
public
bid
for
a
contract
for
snow
clearing
for
the
BRE
parcels
on
October,
24
2019
for
bids
were
received
and
KMZ
snow
bid
met
all
the
requirements
and
they
were
the
most
responsive
and
responsible
lowest
bidder
at
that
price.
So
hereby
we
request
that
we
reward
two
KMZ,
also
a
woman-owned
business.
T
The
guidelines
and
checklists
to
request
preliminary
project
details
that
are
intended
to
ensure
all
individuals
have
an
equal
experience
that
includes
the
fullest
participation
in
the
built
environment,
be
PDA,
and
the
mayor's
Commission
for
persons
with
disabilities
have
worked
closely
to
review
and
discuss
the
need
for
further
updates
and
clarifications
to
the
checklist.
To
achieve
this
important
goal.
Christa
macaque
Commissioner
of
the
mayor's
Commission
for
persons
with
disabilities
is
here
to
present
those
updates
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
afterwards.
U
Thank
you,
madam
chairman,
members
of
the
board
good
afternoon,
I'm
Kristin
macaws,
the
disability
Commissioner
for
the
mayor's
Commission
for
persons
with
disabilities.
We've
been
working
very
closely
with
the
BPD
a
for
several
years
on
this
checklist,
and
we
had
a
few
updates
that
we
wanted
to
institute
hoping
to
get
your
approval.
First
of
all,
I
just
wanted
to
talk.
U
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide
about
cities
in
general
and
the
approach
to
the
built
environment,
we
believe
a
humanistic
people
friendly
city
is
first
and
foremost
an
accessible
City,
where
mobility
is
a
priority
for
all.
That
being
said
in
the
city
of
Boston,
some
very
brief
statistics
over
78,000
residents
identify
as
having
a
disability
of
these
residents
over
40,000
identify
as
having
a
mobility
disability,
and
these
don't
account
for
people
who
come
in
for
work
or
visitors
tourists.
U
U
So
it's
a
critical
issue
in
the
city,
the
article
80
checklist
was
developed
about
five
years
ago
and
it's
a
tool
for
developers
to
ensure
that
access
is
incorporated
at
the
beginning
of
the
design
and
and
stays
as
a
priority
throughout
rather
than
putting
in
at
the
end
the
article
80
checklist
does
not
impose
any
new
mandates.
It
simply
captures
all
the
ad
a
and
a
AV
accessibility
requirements
into
one
document.
This
update
has
very
few
changes
which
I'll
go
over
now.
U
First
of
all,
we've
made
checklist
check
boxes
for
yes
or
no
for
just
about
half
of
the
questions
there
are
41
questions,
23
of
which
can
be
answered
with
a
yes,
no,
and
we
don't
want
to
see
developers
leave
any
questions
blank.
So
with
this
checkbox
it
will
be
very
easy
for
them
to
check
off
which
one
is
appropriate
accessibility
guidelines.
U
We
added
two
questions
to
ask
about:
any
potential
may
be
variances
and
also
so
that
they
can
look
at
potential
fixes,
rather
than
applying
for
a
variance
and
also
to
ask
if
they're
working
with
an
access
consultant,
then
we
added
a
few
more
details
on
accessible
route
connections
with
stairs
and
elevators
interior
and
exterior
a
few
other
things
we
talked
about.
We
added
options
for
community
benefits
that
look
at
transit
and
public
realm.
U
We
talked
about
pilot
lead
credits
for
social
inclusion,
things
like
adding
an
extra
bathroom,
that's
companion,
only
a
single
stall
for
companions,
and
we
put
additional
resources
for
Age
Friendly
and
lead
pilot
credits,
and
that's
pretty
much
a
summary
of
the
changes
and
we
hope
to
get
approval.
Thank
you.

request
authorization
to
issue
a
certificate;
a
certification
of
approval
pursuant
to
article
8
es
section
in
a
de
6
of
the
zoning
code
for
the
construction

John.
Thank.
V
You,
madam
chairwoman,
the
proposed
project
is
located
on
Fairmont
Avenue
in
Hyde
Park
about
three
blocks
south
of
Logan
Square.
The
project
site
consists
of
one
parcel
that
is
approximately
20,
not
29,000,
plus
square
feet
of
land
which
currently
contains
four
to
family
homes.
To
be
razed,
the
proponent,
the
decipi
Oberlin
group
proposes
to
construct
the
four-story
mixed-use
building
containing
47
rental
units,
including
six
IDP
units
with
two
commercial
spaces
in
33
garage
parking
spaces.
V
Amenities
for
residents
include
a
multi-purpose
room,
a
roof
deck
in
bicycle
storage
for
47
bikes.
The
proponent
will
also
make
a
community
benefit
contribution
of
$60,000
$40,000
contribution
to
the
Boston
transportation
and
to
implement
pedestrian
ad
a
and
bicycle
access
improvements
in
the
fifth
Senate

around
the
project
site
in
the
Fairmont
commuter
rail

as
well
as
twenty
thousand
dollar
contribution
to
the
cities
from
Fox

in
Cleary
and
Logan
squares
on
September
25th,
the
proponent
filed
an
article
80
application.
V
The
public
meeting
was
held
on
October
22nd
at
the
Boston
Police
Academy.
The
meeting
was
advertised
in
the
High
Park
Board
in
on
October
10th,
and
the
comment
period
concluded
on
November
1st
I
will
just
like
to
add
that
District
City
Council
at
some
of
the
McCarthy
submitted
a
letter
of
support
and
that
our
staff
is
really
excited
about
this
proposal
moving
forward
because
it's
going
to
add
the
density,
we're
looking
for
along
the
Fairmont
rail
line.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
introduce
John
Paul
Gini
from
the
development
team
John
thanks.
Q
Sean,
madam
chair
Madam,
Secretary
members
of
the
board
John
pulcini
on
behalf
of
the
developer,
to
scipio
builders
group.
We're
really
excited
to
be
here
this
evening.
This
proposal,
if
you
guys,
are
familiar
with
this
area,
was
it's
right
on
the
Fairmount
bridge,
it's
right
adjacent
to
the
Fairmount
commuter
rail
station,
which
now
they're
talking
about
soon
to
becoming
a
rapid
transportation
area.
So
High
Park
has
been
rated
Jason.
You
can
see
a
building
in
the
to
the
right
of
the
proposal
there.
Q
That
was
the
formal
location
of
the
famo
grill
one
of
two
high
restaurants
that
we
have
sit-down,
restaurants,
that
we
have
in
High
Park,
which
has
closed
so
as
Tim
McCarthy
had
council
McCarthy
had
put
in
his
letter.
Hi
Park
is
really
struggling
in
the
business
district
with
density.
The
restaurants
are
going
out
of
business
because
there
just
isn't
enough
people.
There.
Q
We
went
to
a
very
good
community
process
had
a
lot
of
support
in
the
neighborhood
people
realized
that
you
know
the
density
of
development.
This
is
accomplishing
the
goals
of
more
housing
for
the
city,
but
also
smartly.
In
the
sense
it
is
directly
adjacent
to
the
Fairmont
train
station
and
it's
you
know
less
than
a
quarter
of
a
mile
away
from
the
high
pock
commuter
rail
as
well.
W
W
So
here's
the
overall
site
plan,
the
yellow
highlighted
street,
is
Fairmount
Avenue.
Our
building
is
right
in
the
center
of
this
diagram,
the
site
which
is
adjacent
to
Fairmount
commuter
rail
station
within
a
half-mile
walking
distance
to
several
community
spaces
playgrounds
at
very
close
to
Logan,
Square
and
Cleary
Square.
Here
the
context
is
the
site
currently
has
the
for
two
family
homes:
that's
the
upper
left
of
that
photograph
on
the
upper
right.
W
You
can
see
the
pedestrian
entrance,
the
commuter
rail
station
and
the
existing
for
two
family
homes,
as
John
had
mentioned,
that
was
the
former
location
on
the
lower
left
of
the
Fairmount
grill
and
then
on.
The
lower
right
is
a
view
of
the
site
from
Maple
Street,
and
what
you'll
see
is
that
our
portion
of
our
site
continues
to
the
left
and
it
becomes
steeply
sloping
and
heavily
vegetated
there.
We're
looking
to
maintain
as
much
of
that
as
possible.
W
The
building
design
is
essentially
in
the
place
of
where
the
two
family
homes
that
are
there
now
is
a
site
that
we're
talking
about
here's
an
existing
condition,
site
plan.
The
zoning
for
this
lot
is
2
F
5,000,
but
it's
surrounded
by
a
neighborhood
shopping
district
and
you
can
see
the
four
family
homes
the
site,
slopes
up
towards
the
Fairmount
bridge
to
the
right
and
it
slopes
up
very
steeply
up
Oak
Street,
where
we
have
two
family
homes
on
the
bottom
of
this
diagram
that
are
existing
here's
a
site
plan.
W
What
we're
doing
is
the
first
floor.
Elevation
is
broken
into
four
main
elevations
so
that
we're
able
to
provide
accessibility
along
the
slope
of
Fairmount
Avenue
on
the
left
side
of
the
diagram.
We
have
two
commercial
spaces
that
are
roughly
about
twelve
hundred
and
fifty
square
feet
each
on
the
right
side
of
the
diagram
along
Fairmount
Avenue.
We
have
garden
apartments,
those
have
private
entrances
and
private
Gardens
facing
Fairmount
Avenue
and
then
in
the
rear
of
the
diagram.
W
On
the
bottom,
we
have
a
mixture
of
private
and
public
outdoor
space
for
the
residents
of
the
building
on
Maple
Street.
We
have
a
secondary
building
lobby
and
we
have
a
garage
that
is
completely
underground
on
the
lower
level
and
here's
a
floor
plan
of
the
garage
33
parking
spaces.
Here
we've
got
the
secondary
lobby,
bike
storage
and
some
building
services
on
this
floor
building
has
an
elevator
stairs
in
it.
W
Here's
a
perspective
view
of
what
the
garden
apartments
will
look
like
along
Fairmount,
Avenue,
private,
accessible
entrances
there
and
here's
a
view
of
the
Maple
Street
entrance
to
the
building
to
the
left.
You've
got
a
garage
entrance
and
building
services
for
deliveries,
a
secondary
building
lobbies
in
the
center
of
the
of
the
building
there
and
then
we're
supplementing
the
planting
along
Maple
Street
near
elevations
of
the
building.
The
top
elevation
is
along
Fairmount
Avenue.
W
The
right
side
of
the
diagram
shows
the
commercial
space
we're
trying
to
put
generous
storefront
there
to
pick
up
on
the
commercial
aspects
of
Fairmount
Avenue
on
the
right
side
of
that
elevation
are
the
garden
apartments
and
their
more
residential
scaled
to
break
down
the
mass
of
the
building.
We
were
creating
some
changes
of
plane,
as
well
as
changes
of
materials
that
we're
using
there.
The
lower
left
diagram
shows
the
secondary
building
lobby,
as
well
as
the
garage
entrance
on
Maple
Street.
W
The
right
side
of
the
building
shows
a
shared
driveway
with
the
adjacent
property
and
the
commercial
use
of
the
building.
Turning
the
corner
there,
there
is
a
shared
outdoor
deck
on
the
fourth
floor.
At
that
point
and
the
building
steps
down
to
be
more
in
scale
with
the
adjacent
architecture
on
Fairmont
Avenue.
W
We
continue
this
articulation
around
the
rear
of
the
building
all
of
the
units
on
the
bottom
floor.
There
have
outdoor
garden
space
and
you
can
see
the
garage
below-grade
and
then
here's
a
section
through
it's
showing
the
garage
commercial
space.
On
the
first
floor,
residential
units
are
highlighted
in
red
and
then
you
can
see
the
existing
slope
and
the
adjacent
multi-family
homes
up
on
Oak
Street.
So
with
that
I
conclude
the
presentation
and
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
that
anybody
may
have.
I
Q
They
actually
don't
fit,
I
mean
I.
Remember
when
these
buildings
about
17
years
ago,
it's
a
commercial
district.
You
have
these
four
two
families
that
are
sitting
there.
The
Dissidia
building
group
actually
built
these
two
families
years
ago.
So
what
they've
done

they've
worked
with.
They
retained
a

real

agent,
who
does
leasing,
they'll
pay
for
and
they've,
been
informing
their
tenants
all
along
they'll
pay
for
them
to
move
and
find
them
suitable
housing
or
alternative
housing.
Q
W
We'll
be
working
with
our
geotechnical
engineer
and
our
civil
engineer
to
make
sure
that
we
have
full
drainage
there.
The
current
area
that
we're
talking
about
gardens
being
is
it
about
the
same
level
as
the
existing
parking
lot
and
that
is
draining
fairly
effectively.
Now
our
thought
on
the
slope
is
that
would
like
to
supplement
the
planting.
That's
there
and
reduce
any
runoff.
That
would
happen
along
there.

Madam
chair
members,
the
board
d'artagnan
Brown
architect
from
embarked
thanks
for
having
us
today,
so
by
way
of
overview
I
can
just
jump
to
it.
This
is
Cambridge
Street
with
a
Mass
Pike
located
here
we
have
a
combination
of
six
parcels
off
of
Cambridge
from
Linden,
Highgate
and
Harvard
and
then,
as
we
cross
over
to
Braintree
and
Wilton
Terrace
working
through
the
process,
we've
met
numerous
meetings
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
both
with
BPD
ABCD
C,
to
arrive
at
the
project
tonight.
Z
So
starting
on
the
left
side.
Here
off
of
Cambridge
Street,
the
parcel
wraps
off
Cambridge
crosses
over
Wilton
Terrace.
There's
master
plans
for
a
really
activation
along
Braintree,
so
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
with
the
BPD
and
community
understanding
how
that
impacts.
Our
building
the
building
at
Austin
Hall
will
be
fully
go
through
a
full
historic
rehabilitation,
as
we
cross
over
to
Harvard
Street,
which
goes
down
into
the
residential
sort,
commercial
and
residential
districts.
This
really
becomes
the
gateway
building.
Z
A
lot
of
that
was
spent
with
the
BPD
and
BCDC
and
formulating
our
approach
for
this
jumping
across
this
is
the
Jack
young
building.
A
lot
of
you
will
know
that,
as
you
drive
into
the
city
that
will
go
through
a
full
historic
renovation
as
well
with
the
addition
to
the
to
the
right
of
that
and
then
another
building
that
steps
down
into
the
residential
neighborhood
working
with
our
landscape,
architect
and
again,
the
town
in
the
city
throughout
this
process.
Z
What
we've
really
identified,
our
two
anchoring
parks,
urban
parks
along
Highgate
street
and
then
one
off
of
Wilton
terrorist's,
fully
activated
with
ground-floor
retail
off
of
Franklin
Street
as
well.
We've
pulled
back
so
the
existing
historic
building
can
really
stand
proud
and
allowed
for
an
area
to
create
a
local
youth
cafe.
Z
This
is
kind
of
cross
connection
through
the
sites
we
have
a
pretty
heavy
arts
theme
and
narrative.
That's
worked
through
all
the
buildings
which
we'll
see
in
a
minute,
so
a
lot
of
attention
was
paid
to
how
we
can
engage
that
working
with
the
local
community
to
really
amplify
the
pedestrian
experience.
Z
So
existing
me
again
along
Cambridge
Street
and
the
Mass
Pike.
This
is
the
proposed
development
really
treating
it
as
a
full
block
with
the
existing
Jack
Young
that
will
get
renovated
the
addition
it
steps
across
kind
of
forms,
a
secondary
gateway
down,
highgate
street
and
then
wraps
down
to
Harvard
Street
here
the
view
looking
back
the
other
way
so
again,
all
the
way
from
the
Jack
Young
playing
off
of
that
existing
curve.
Z
As
we
come
across
with
the
anchoring
retail
space
at
the
base,
artists
work
live
that
engages
out
onto
the
pedestrian
way
the
building
at
to
eight
Harvard
corner
in
core
retail
and
then
a
highgate
building,
with
almost
a
40-foot
wide
privately-owned
that
public
use
park
as
we
jump
across
the
street
to
the
Franklin
Braintree
and
Wilton
terraced
side,
starting
on
the
right
here.
This
is
the
Austin
Hall
that
will
go
through
a
full
renovation.
Z
The
new
building
will
interwined
behind
that
jumping
across
to
415
Cambridge
proposed
development
here,
so
you
can
see
the
large
urban
scale
park,
entry
to
the
residential
ground-floor
retail
building
wraps
around
continues
across
with
the
Austin
Hall
being
preserved,
and
the
outdoor
use
cafe
there
as
well.
The
view
along
Braintree
Street
here
so
again,
working
with
BPD
CDC
was
to
really
have
that
fully
activated
from
Olsen
Hall.
Z
All
the
way
down
to
the
tip
of
Braintree
Street,
with
active
retail
along
chemistry
here
is
at
Park
area
and
that
off
of
this
is
Franklin
and
brain
at
Wilton
Street
having
a
secondary
park
that
then,
would
cross
connect
through
ground-floor
retail
activated
use
along
Braintree
and
again
just
in
terms
of
overview
of
344
units,
of
which
45
are
ITP,
spanning
along
Cambridge
Street
from
linden,
hi,

across
Harvard
and
then
on
to
Wilton
Terrace.
Thank
you.

Hi,
my
name
is
Jesse
Canson
been
enough.
I'm

manager

and
I
have
with
me
our
project,
architect,
I
Rex,
from

gentlemen,
our
executive
director
and

Our

B'rith
housing
is
a
non-profit
housing
developer
with
a
mission
to
help
ease
the
housing
crisis
in
Greater
Boston.
AC
We're
excited
to
you
know,
live
up
to
the
BPA's
goals
of
live
work
and
connect
with
this
project
at
270
Baker
Street.
We
are
particularly
excited
to
bring
the
substantial
community
benefit
of
60
income,
restricted,
affordable
housing
units
to
West
Roxbury,
the
neighborhood
that
has
the
lowest
percentage
of
income,
restricted
housing
in
the
city
of
Boston,
as
well
as
other
benefits
that
the
project
brings.
AC
This
is
a
site
map
of
the
context
of
our
project.
As
you
can
see,
it
is
located
in
a
large
industrial
complex.
We'll
have
some
photos
that
show
that
mostly
impervious
pavement,
but
with
great
access
to
a
commercial
district
along
Spring,
Street
and
Center
Street
access
to
the
West
Roxbury
commuter
rail
station,
as
well
as
hospitals
and
and
other
businesses
along
the
f/w
Parkway.
As
I
mentioned,
this
site
is
mostly
paved
impervious
industrial
park.
AC
More
views
of
the
site-
this
is
a
view
from
Baker
Street,
which
is
the
frontage
for
the
property.
We
will
maintain
green
landscaping
and
eirick
architect
will
elaborate
on
our
landscaping
along
the
Baker
Street
side,
as
well
as
expand
it
to
other
areas
of
the
site,
existing
conditions.
There
is
a
small
green
area,
but
we
look
forward
to
expanding
the
landscaping
in
public
realm
again,
more
impervious
pavement
as
the
project,
the
BPD
a
project
manager
mentioned.
This
was
previously
proposed
and
permitted
previous
developer
460
condominium
units
in
two
buildings.
AC
We
are
proposing
to
modify
the
approval.
We
are
changing
our
the
project
from
the
two
buildings
that
were
approved,
reducing
the
massing
into
one
building
and
retaining
the
sixty
unit
count,
but
converting
it
to
affordable
rental
housing.
Now,
as
the
as
Steven
mentioned,
we
have
had
two
community
meetings
where
we
prevent
presented
this
information
to
members
of
the
West
Roxbury
community.
AC
We
were
fortunate
to
receive
confirmation
from
the
CBA
on
Tuesday
that
our
project
does
fit
within
all
zoning
relief
that
was
granted
to
the
prior
project,
even
with
our
reduction
in
the
building
and
our
unit,
our
building
massing
has
decreased
as
well.
This
is
a
listing
of
the
changes
that
we
are
proposing.
Again,
we
are
eliminating
the
smaller
building.
AC
We
are
reducing
the
overall
square
footage
of
the
residential
building
by
21%,
we're
changing
the
bedroom
mix
to
have
15
fewer
bedrooms,
we're
also
reducing
the
parking
ratio
for
a
1:1
2:1
ratio,
60
parking
spaces
for
60
units.
We
have
been
discussing
the
option
and
will
be
pursuing
renting
overflow
night
and
weekend
parking
from
an
adjacent
commercial
property
owner
a
number
of
other
small
changes
and
I'll.
Let
IREC
talk
about
our
design
in
a
moment,
but
I
wanted
to
stress
the
major
community
benefit
here.
AC
We
are
also
fulfilling
all
community
benefits
that
the
previous
developer
agreed
to,
including
removing
two
blighted
homes
from
the
Catholic
Memorial
property
adjacent
to
ours,
donating
to
the
West
Roxbury
Little
League,
improving
sim
broco
Street,
which
is
actually
a
private
way
that
is
part
of
our
property
and
again
keeping
the
project.
Keeping
the
site
on
the
city's
property
tax
payroll
so
I
will
hand
it
over
to
Iraq
now
to
talk
about
design.
AD
Hello
IRA
correct
from
Davis
square
architects
when
we
started
working
on
this
project
with
penny
birth,
it
was
already
approved
as
Jessie
described,
and
it
had
taken
quite
a
long
process
to
be
approved,
and
we
listened
it.
A
couple
community
meetings
to
the
community
comments
about
what
the
difficult
points
were
and
when
we
started
to
work
with
our
design.
We
try
to
make
the
building
better
in
many
ways
from
the
community
point
of
view,
the.
AD
The
the
new
design
is
the
new
building
is
designed
to
have
less
impact,
less
visual
impact
and
other
impact
to
the
community
and
the
ways
in
which
we
plan
to
do
this.
We
are
maintaining
or
increasing
setbacks
in
some
important
directions,
which
are
sensed
from
the
sim
berroco
neighborhood,
which
is
to
the
south
on
the
site
plan,
of
course,
by
turning
it
from
two
buildings
into
one
we're
able
to
shorten
the
facade
which
they're
going
to
see
from
that
side.
AD
Also,
the
you
shape
of
the
building
makes
it
appear
more
compact,
while
fitting,
as
Jessie
said,
the
same
number
of
dwelling
units
we're
also
the
the
other
building
the
previous
building
design
had
parking
under
and
we
will
not
have
parking
under
so
we're
able
to
lower
the
whole
building.
So
it'll
just
be
a
quite
a
few
feet,
less
tall
and
therefore
less
visual
impact.
AD
From
once
again
from
the
sombrio
neighborhood
side,
we're
the
landscape
buffer
is
going
to
include
trees,
shrubs
and
fences
too,
to
help
buffer
the
from
the
bill
at
the
new
building
from
the
neighborhood,
and
also
the
new
u-shape
allows
us
to
build
quite
a
big
green
space
on
the
interior.
That
greens,
you
know
on
the
interior
that
courtyard,
which
will
include
a
lot.
AD
Lastly,
we
oriented
the
main
entrance
of
the
building
toward
the
parking
lot
for
ease
of
use
by
the
residents,
and
we
have
provided
a
tree-lined
walkways
will
connect
the
building
entrance
to
some
broco
so
that
it'll
be
a
pleasant
walking
path
and
that
helps
to
establish
the
buffer
also
with
the
neighborhood,
and
we
were
able
to
put
tree
islands
into
the
parking
lot
too
to
make
that
a
more
pleasant
space.
Thank
you.

Obviously
this
is
a
great
project,
but
also
just
a
very
mean
amendment
to
the
board
agenda
on
this
item.
It
says
that
the
to
change
the
60,
affordable,
homeownership
units
to
60,
affordable
rental
units,
as
you
heard
in
the
presentation,
the
previously
approved
project,
was
a
market
rate
project
so
just
to
delete
the
word
affordable
between
60
and
homeownership.
Thank
you.

of
the
zoning
code
in
connection
with
the
notice
of
project
change
for
the
350
Boylston

project,
due
to
the
lapse
of
time
for
the
previously
approved

consisting
of
15,000
square
feet
of
ground
floor
retail
and

Roll

AF
Evening,
madam
chair
director
Golden
madam
secretary
members
of
the
board,
just
by
way
of
clarity,
there's
no
affordable
housing
agreement
associated
with
this
project.
However,
we
are
seeking
to
amend
the
the
other
article.
80
documents
was
just
a
point
of
clarity.
By
way
of
background,
the
350
Boylston
Street
project
was
originally
approved
by
the
BRE
board
on
October
16
2008,
and
consists
of
a
nice
story,
mixed-use
building
that
will
contain
office,
retail
and
fitness
space,
as
well
as
150
off
street
parking
spaces
at
the
corner
of
Arlington
Street
and
Boylston
Street
in
the
Back
Bay.
AF
Following
the
original
approval
by
the
BRE
board,
the
proponent
obtained
the
necessary
zone
and
relief
to
advance
the
project
and
proceeded
to
execute
all
of
the
applicable
article
80
documents
with
the
BRE.
However,
the
project
did
not
advance
to
construction
fast
forward
to
today,
because
the
lapse
of
time
says
the
original
approval
of
the
proposed
proponent
was
required
to
submit
a
notice
of
project
change
specifically
for
the
lapse
of
time,
which
was
submitted
on
September
17th
2019.
AF
The
submission
of
that
document
triggered
a
public
comment
period
there,
which
concluded
on
October
17th
and,
during
that
timeframe,
that
BPA
sponsored
and
held
the
public
meeting
at
the
Copley
branch
of
the
Boston
Public
Library
to
discuss
the
project
with
the
community
at
large.
The
size
and
scope
of
the
project
remained
unchanged
from
what
was
originally
approved
in
2008,
aside
from
some
minor
design,
adjustments
that
were
made
pursuant
to
the
original
approval.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
introduce
you
to
Ronald
Ruger
of
the
Druker
company,
we'll
run
through
a
brief
presentation
on
the
project.

The
building
is
designed
by
Robert
AM,
Stern,
architects,
who's
internationally
recognized.
The
building
is
limestone
with
retail,
on
the
ground
floor
and
what
we
really
endeavored
to
do
was
to
form
an
appropriate
background
and
not
to
compete.

the
Arlington
Street
Church,
which
stands
so
proudly
adjacent
to
us.

The
public
benefits
are
such
that
we'll
be
paying
a
million
nine
hundred
ninety
four
thousand
to
the
housing.
Our
total
linkage
is
a
million
three.
Our
jobs
contribution
is
two
hundred

fifteen
thousand
we'll
be
paying
approximately
two
million
dollars
in
taxes,
we'll
be
contributing
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
to
support
neighborhood
improvements
will
create
approximately
three
hundred
construction
jobs,
800
permanent
jobs.
AG
We
are
paying
current
linkage
fees
which
are
beyond
those
of
the
time
when
the
project
was
originally
improved.
Approved
will
be
paying
approximately
two
hundred
twenty
one
thousand
two
hundred
thirty
dollars
to
our
neighbor
of
the
Arlington
Street
Church,
which
has
an
extensive
renovation
program
going
on
right
now
and
will
also
be
contributing
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
to
the
woman's
lunch
place,
and
we
look
forward
to
bringing
a
terrific
building
to
this
very
significant
corner.
If
you
have
any
questions,
be
happy
to
answer
them.
I
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
have
a
question.
Just
last
month
we
approved
a
project
on
Stewart
Street,
that's
preserving
the
Art
Deco
exterior
of
the
parking
garage
and
all
the
elements
on
the
building.
I'm
curious.
Why
you
aren't
able
to
build
a
building
here
that
preserves
the
beautiful
exterior
of
the
existing
building.
So.
AG
That's
a
very
good
question
and
we
looked
into
that
quite
thoroughly.
The
fact
is:
is
that
there's
a
steam
line
which
runs
at
both
a
right
angle
on
Arlington,
Street
and
Boylston
Street,
which
is
right
at
the
sidewalk,
as
well
as
the
Green
Line,
which
is
on
Boylston
Street.
So
in
order
to
preserve
the
facade
like
which
that
which
was
done
at
rush
of
Wharf
one
needs
to
put
footings
well
down
into
the
ground.
We
don't
have
the
room
to
do
that
because
would
go
right
into
the
steam
line
or
right
into
the
Green
Line.
B
AG
Meet
with
Robert
AM
Stern
regularly
he's
part
of
the
process
and
he's
dedicated,
because
he
understands
Boston
he's
dedicated
doing
a
fine
building
on
this
corner.
You
know
I'm
the
third
generation
of
a
family
which
has
developed
in
the
city,
hotel,
Kenmore,
hotel,
Braemore,
Kenmore
Square
is
named
after
the
hotel,
not
not
the
hotel
after
the
square,
and
my
father
did
the
colonnade
and
I
and
I
did
the
Heritage.
So
we're
committed
to
doing
things
well-
and
this
is
very
important
for
us.

large
project
review
of

Thank.
AI
You,
madam
vice
chair
members
of
the
board
director
golden
and
Secretary
of
Polhemus
I'm
Dana
Whiteside
deputy
director
for
Community
Economic
Development
with
the
agency,
and
very
pleased
to
stand
with
the
development
team
regarding
this
particular
project.
This
proposal,
the
33
68
Washington
Street
project,
is
a
result
of
a
collaboration
between
Pine,
Street
Inn
and
develop
entity
known
as
the
community
builders,
which
has
presented
previous
projects
before
us.
AI
It
was
a
very
robust
but
I
think
fruitful
exercise
that
spoke
to
certain
goals
for
this
particular
part
of
the
city,
particularly
around
the
creation
of
affordable
housing.
The
review
of
considerations
that
would
enhance
I
should
say
result
in
really
creative
and
important
design
guidelines
that
would
keep
to
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
that
would
think
about
livability
and
would
also
support
diversity
within
the
neighborhood
diversity
of
residents,
diversity
of
incomes
etc,
and
this
particular
project.
AI
It
really
is
within
those
guidelines
and
seeks
to
move
forward
with
those
very
briefly
I'll
say
that
the
project,
also
because
of
the
robust
community
engagement
process
that
we
undertook
through
these
various
public
meetings.
The
original
proposals
sought
to
create
a
six
story,
building
with
225
units
as
a
result
of
stakeholder
review
and
advise
the
development
team
has
made
some
modifications
to
the
proposal,
which
you'll
see
a
little
further
to
create
a
five-story
building.
That
being
said,
the
22
units
will
be
all
affordable.
AI
A
hundred
and
forty
of
those
units
will
be
used
for
formerly
homeless
individuals,
and
they
will
all
be
at
30%
area
median
income.
The
remaining
62
units,
which
will
be
rental,
will
be
for
low
to
moderate
income
income
restricted
and
there
will
be
between
30%
AMI
and
80%
AMI,
so
the
real,
the
wonderful
benefit
of
creating
much-needed
affordability
for
this
neighborhood.
That
has
really
been
a
key
goal
and
principle
that
came
out
of
plan
JP
Rox
briefly.
AI
The
project
project
will
also
create
some
much
needed
infrastructure
improvements
as
part
of
the
mitigation
package,
that's
being
proposed
by
the
development
team,
the
creation
of
wider
sidewalks,
the
creation
of
a
plaza
area
and
an
open
space
which
will
be
which
utilized
for
the
residents,
the
creation
of
a
community
room
that
will
be
accessible
to
the
public,
as
well
as
providing
for
enhanced
security
along
Washington
Street
through
interior
lights
and
exterior
lights
on
the
sidewalk,
as
well
as
collaboration
and
enhanced
driveway
access
between
the
current
building
and
the
director
butter.

With
that,
I
will
stop

I'd
like

the
presence

the
development
team,
Jen
Griffin
who's
vice
president
of

director
of

Who
is
the
director
of
this
project
for

builders
and
Eric
Robinson
from
Rodya
architects?
Who
will
lead
you
through
the

I'd
like
to
ask
miss
Griffin
to
come
to
the
podium.
AJ
Good
evening
madam
chairwoman,
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the
board
and
director
Gould
and
as
Dana
mentioned,
this
is
a
collaboration
between
the
Pine
Street
Inn
and
the
community
builders,
the
Pine
Street,
and
focuses
on
ending
homelessness
by
creating
housing
for
people
who
are
living
in
shelters
and
on
the
street,
and
the
community
builders,
as
you
know,
has
a
large
portfolio
of
quality
housing
for
people
at
all
incomes.
Pine
Sturgeon
made
a
very
good
decision
in
1997
when
it
bought
3,
3,
6,
8,
Washington,
Street
and
Jamaica
Plain.
AJ
We
did
so
because
we
were
really
bursting
from
the
seams
in
our
buildings
on
in
the
south
end
and
we
needed
storage
space.
So
we
are
thrilled
that
this
project
is
going
to
provide
140
units
for
extremely
low-income,
chronically
homeless,
individuals
and
62
units
for
low
to
moderate
income
families.
The
pine
students,
current
offices
and
storage
uses
will
be
replicated
in
the
new
building
and
our
social
workers
purchasing
department
and
facility
staff
will
be
located
there
as
they
are
today.
AJ
The
3
3
6,
8
Washington
Street
project
reflects
the
engagement
of
the
Jamaica
Plain
community
over
the
year
that
we
have
been
talking
about
this
project
to
the
community.
We
have
introduced
the
development
with
just
very
basic
strategic
goals:
first,
a
hundred
percent
affordability,
second
units
to
solve
homelessness;
third
units
for
families
who
are
struggling
to
find
affordable
housing
in
Boston
and
third,
to
provide
a
dedicated
community
space
for
the
neighbors
to
use
we're
very
grateful
to
the
Jamaica
Plain
neighborhood.
AJ
We
have
had
over
30
meetings
in
the
last
year,
some
small,
some
extraordinarily
large,
and
we
have
given
tours
of
the
four
of
the
Pine
Street
in
buildings
that
are
in
Jamaica
Plain
that
we
really
was
a
wonderful
experience
for
me
personally.
Minds
were
changed
when
people
met
our
tenants,
our
social
workers
saw
our
buildings
talk
to
neighbors.
This
is
a
housing
first
project
and
I'm.
AJ
Often
people
are
not
familiar
with
that
concept,
and
so
we're
very
grateful
for
the
number
of
people
in
Jamaica
Plain
who
took
a
big
time,
investment
to
learn
about
Pine
streets
and
housing.
The
the
the
process
really
informed
the
design
which
Eric
will
now
talk
about,
and
the
affordability
structure
ultimately
of
the
project.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
F
AK
Thank
You
Jan.
First
of
all,
it's
you
sort
of
have
to
take
a
deep
breath
when
you
listen
to
that
and
for
me
to
reflect
as
an
architect
in
the
city
working
all
over
the
city.
This
building
really
is
a
reflection
of
both
Pine
Street
and
the
community
builders,
as
well
as
the
community.
The
city,
Michael
and
his
team
have
been
awesome
and
everybody
has
really.
AK
Their
goal
has
been
to
make
this
project
the
best
it
can
be,
and
we're
super
excited
to
be
standing
by
as
stewart's
of
that,
and
we
believe
that
the
project,
something
that
we
can
all
be
happy
and
excited
about
so
now
it's
time
to
build
it.
Hopefully.
So,
as
Jan
mentioned,
this
is
some
images
of
the
existing
property.
AK
So
it's
about
a
40,000
square
foot
site
not
on
the
corner
of
and
Glen
Road,
but
sort
of
mid-block,
pretty
close
to
the
train
station
with
their
one-story
building
on
it
that
pretty
much
takes
up
most
a
lot,
with
the
exception
of
a
little
bit
of
a
parking
area,
and
as
Dana
mentioned,
this
is
right.
In
the
Jaypee
rocks
master
plan,
you
can
see
our
building
located
here
in
the
little
black
circle.
We
we
are
in
a
high-density
zone
and
also
a
street
activation
zone.
AK
So
these
are
all
things
that
started
to
inform
us
before
we
even
thought
about
how
do
we
start
to
master
the
building
and
think
about
the
program
on
this
site?
We
looked
carefully
through
the
Jaypee
rocks.
We
appreciate
the
effort
that
was
put
behind
that
document
and
the
effort
that
the
neighborhood
put
forth
to
really
want
to
make
sure
they're
shaping
their
neighborhood
in
a
great
way.
AK
Our
first
thought
was
thinking
about
the
interior
space
of
these
units.
These
are
residents
that
we
want
to
make
sure
have
awesome
quality
space.
So
we
really
built
this
idea
of
the
building
around
an
aperture
into
the
units.
The
units
are
not
all
huge,
but
they
are
a
place
that
someone
can
call
home.
So
this
was
really
an
important
first
step
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
was
carried
throughout
the
whole
project,
and
everybody
really
embraced
that
moment.
AK
So
large
windows
that
can
be
occupied
so
we're
looking
at
window
seats
in
the
units
that
will
really
create
an
amazing
environment
for
the
residents
to
live
in
so
quickly.
Our
massing
moves
were
to
establish
two
courtyard
spaces,
one
off
of
the
street,
one
internal,
that's
south-facing
for
the
residents,
as
well
as
the
Pine
Street
in
administration
straight
of
offices,
and
that
really
shaped
the
entire
program
around
the
building.
AK
So
thinking
about
the
step
backs
thinking
about
the
vertical
articulation
of
the
street,
we
really
want
to
make
sure
this
building
is
a
good
civic
neighbor
and
sets
the
precedent
for
excellent
development
on
Washington
Street
a
little
hard
to
see
here.
But,
as
you
can
see,
we
worked
very
hard
on
creating
an
awesome
streetscape
that
would
be
extra
wide
sidewalks
that
could
be
occupied.
That
can
enhance
the
quality
of
both
the
residents,
as
well
as
the
residents
at
large
and
the
abutters.
AK
So
this
took
a
lot
of
undertaking
in
terms
of
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
program
worked
well
as
well
as
our
commitment
to
the
streetscape
and
the
active
activation
on
Washington
Street.
As
we
look
at
some
of
the
images
that
were
informed
by
this
whole
process,
we're
excited
to
see
a
building
that
we
believe
will
anchor
this
institution
for
many
years
to
come,
and
we
also
believe
it
is
a
quality
design
project
with
quality
materials
that
everybody
can
be
proud
of.
AK
So
here
you
can
sort
of
see
it's
a
little
bit
hard,
but
this
is
the
community
room
that
Jan
had
mentioned,
anchoring
the
corner
of
the
the
building
as
it
faces
toward
the
most
public
intersection
adjacent
to
us
with
the
building
and
the
residence
above
and
then
looking
at
something.
That's
a
little
bit
more
dynamic
at
the
entry
sequence.
So
there's
a
common
residential
entrance
that
really
can
be
approachable
and
feel
like
it's
something
that
is
important
and
special
for
this
building
a
little
bit
of
an
aerial
view.
AK
Just
thinking
about
the
building,
as
it
fits
into
its
context,
ensuring
that
we're
thinking
about
all
sides
of
the
building
it
does
abut
a
fairly
large
green
space
in
the
back.
But
thinking
about
how
the
materials
and
the
exterior
is
wrapping
around
the
entire
building
was
something
that
was
very
important
to
both
the
community
members
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
only
addressing
the
streetscape
but
also
thinking
about
the
building
and
its
entirety.
AK
Elevations,
which
a
little
hard
to
see.
But
it's
really
a
combination
of
brick,
which
is
anchoring
the
Washington
Street
side
and
then
a
warmer
woods
look
material
that
will
warm
up
the
entry
sequence
and
also
anchor
that
front
corner
where
the
community
room
is
and
as
we
move
around
the
building,
we're
looking
at
metal
panels
that
are
more
of
a
clapper
style.
So
they
start
to
blend
into
the
community
and
the
size
of
the
buildings
behind
us
and.
O
AK
I
think,
as
our
last
image,
it
really
is
the
one
that
we
think
sort
of
embodies
the
process
and
we're
looking
at
the
community
room
here
activation
on
the
street,
something
that
is
really
part
of
the
streetscape
and
the
community,
and
also
this
awesome
moment
of
residents
moving
into
the
building
and
activating
a
building
at
this
stage.
So
thank
you.
AI
That
concludes
the
presentation
of
what
I'd
like
to
also
make
reference
to
the
fact
that
we're
mindful
collectively,
that
we
are
with
this
project
serving
two
very
important
populations.
Obviously
the
folks
will
be
provided
utilizing
the
services
of
Pine,
Street,
Inn
and
also
the
the
residents
of
these
income
restricted
units
we're
bringing
together
two
really
important
populations.
AI
So
as
a
part
of
our
next
steps
will
be
ongoing
work
with
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development,
the
Office
of
Fair
Housing,
as
well
as
the
Commission
on
disabilities,
to
make
sure
that
the
the
design,
internal
and
external
continues
to
speak
to
the
dignity
and
the
ways
in
which
we
hope
to
serve
these
populations.
That
includes
concludes
the
presentation
and
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank.
I
Can
you
talk
about
the
financing
for
this
project?
That's.
AE
Tim
Davis
I
think
just
to
speak
specifically
on
the
city
funding.
We
do
anticipate
taking
a
vote
to
the
Neighborhood
Housing
Trust
for
housing
creation,
linkage,
funds
from
the
one
Congress
Street
hym
project
over
here
to
be
specifically
directed
to
this
project.
So
it
will
be
a
neighborhood
housing
trust
vote
first,
and
it
would
come
back
to
you
for
a
vote,
probably
in
January.

O
O
A
You
resume
the
meeting
and
with
the
public
hearing
portion
of
today's
agenda,
this
is
a
public
hearing
before
the
Boston
Redevelopment
Authority
doing
business
as
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency,
being
held,
in
conformance
with
article
80
of
the
Boston
zoning

project
change
for
black
end
of
the
Seaport
square
project
within
planned
development
area
number
78
and
the
South
Boston
waterfront.
As
a
development
impact
project.
A
The
proposed
notice
a
project
chain
seeks
to
permit
a
revised
building
program
for
block
n
of
a
support
square
project,
comprised

A

You,
madam
vice
chair
good
evening
again,
director
gold,
madam
secretary
members
of
the
board,
and
in
2010
the
Boston
Redevelopment
Authority
board,
voted
to
approve
the
approximately
20
3.5
acre
seaport
square
project,
which
was
later
approved
by
the
Boston
Zoning
Commission,
as
planned
development
area
number
78,
most
recently
in
November
of
2017.
This
board
voted
to
approve
a
notice
of
project
change
to
the
originally
approved
project
and
the
Boston
Zoning
Commission
later
adopted
an
amended
and
restated
development
plan
for
planned
development
area
number
78,
the
2017
notice,
a
project
change
specif.
X
The
program
uses
for
each
npc
block.
While
noting
that,
given
the
multi-phase
mixed-use
nature
of
the
NPC,
the
uses
of
each
block
might
change
from
the
assumptions
used
in
the
2017
NPC.
The
2017
further
contemplated
a
building
program
for
block
n,
comprised
of
approximately
72
thousand
square
feet
of
retail
entertainment,
restaurant
service
uses
and
350,000
square
feet
of
residential
uses
on
September
10th
2019
Seaport
Square
Development
Company
LLC
filed
a
notice
of
project
change,
proposing
a
revised
building
program
on
block
end
of
the
Seaport
square
project,
as
proposed
a
2019
NPC
before
you
this
evening.
X
Contemplates
the
allowance
of
approximately
thirty
eight
thousand
square
feet
of
retail
entertainment,
restaurant
service
uses
and
approximately
three
hundred
and
eighty
four
thousand
square
feet
of
office
and
our
research
and
development
uses
on
block
n.
The
proposed
conversion
of
use
creates
an
excess
of
100
thousand
square
feet
of
commercial
space
and
thus
allows
from
block
n
to
be
considered
as
a
development
impact
project.

The
BPD
a
hosted
a
joint
impact,
Advisory
Group
and
public
meeting
on
September
23rd
at
the
Society
of
Arts
and
Crafts
discussed
the
proposed
project
changes
with
the
community
and
I
AG
members.
In
addition
to
the
revised
building
program
for
block
n,
the
2019
NPC
also
affirms
that
the
building
program
of
blocks,
l3
and
G
of
the
Seaport
Square
project
will
be
primarily
residential
uses.
X
The
location
of
the
Seaport
Performing
Arts
Center
has
also
been
affirmed
for
block
L
five
of
the
seaports,
where
a
project
which
will
be
further
supported
by
an
additional
1
million
dollar
contribution
from
the
proponent
accounting
for
an
eight
point.
Five
million
dollar
total
commitment
from
the
proponent
towards
programming
of
the
CPAC
and/or
other
civic
educational,
cultural
uses
or
endeavors
within
the
NPC
blocks.
I'd
like
to
note
for
the
board
that
a
revision
was
made
on
page
seven
of
your
board
memo
in
the
memo
before
you.
X
A
fourth
bullet
point
under
the
new
public
benefits
commitments,
notes
that
the
proponent
will
be
making
an
additional
1
million
dollar
contribution
to
the
IDP
fund.
This
has
been
removed
from
the
board
memo,
as
the
previously
approved
a4
housing
within
the
Seaport
square
project
has
been
preserved.
Despite
the
proposed
change
of
building
program,
a
block

will
be
delivered
as
previously
discussed
in
both
total
square

Thank
you
very
much
Aisling
a
good
evening,
madam
vice
chair
members
of
the
board
director
golden
secretary
Polly
mmus
good
evening.
My
name
is
Yanni
CIPA
swith,
WS
development
and,
as
always,
it's
both
a
pleasure
and
a
privilege
to
appear
before
this
board.
Thank
you.
The
project
before
you
this
evening
and
I
think
we
have
the
slide
set
up
as
Ashley
mentioned.
The
project
before
you
this
evening
is
part
of
the
Seaport
square
development
plan.
That's
illustrated
here
on
this
slide.
AM
The
first
is
regarding
block
m
all
the
way
to
the
east
right
adjacent
to
where
fidelity
has
its
complex
to
the
World
Trade
Center.
This
project,
the
Escalon,
is
nearing
completion,
will
be
complete
in
the
coming
months
and
will
deliver
almost
750
residential
units
into
the
Seaport
neighborhood.
We're
very
excited
about
this
nearing
completion,
we're
also
well
under
construction
with
what
we
call
111
harbor
way,
which
is
block
l4
of
the
of
the
project.
AM
This
is
a
building,
that's
almost
entirely
leased
to
Amazon,
who
will
be
creating
approximately
2,000
technology
sector,
jobs
on
the
site,
as
well
as
two
levels
of
retail
restaurant
and
entertainment
uses
in
addition
to
the
buildings
were
under
construction,
currently
with
Harbor
Square
Park.
This
is
a
new
acre
park
that
will
be
adjacent
to
111
Harbor.
It's
a
beautiful
green
space
designed
by
James
corner
field
operations,
the
folks,
the
fellow
who
designed
the
High
Line
in
New
York,
and
this
will
be
a
terrific
community
amenity
for
the
Seaport
and
for
the
city
as
a
whole.
AM
Both
this
park
and
the
adjacent
building
will
be
complete
in
the
summer
of
2021
and
then
we're
also
about
to
begin
construction
on
Block
P.
This
is
number
400,
Summer,
Street
sort
of
caddy
corner
across
from
the
Boston
Convention
Exhibition
Center.
This
is
a
beautiful
masonry,
brick
masonry
building
that's
been
fully
leased
by
a
company
from
Kendall
Square
called
foundation;
medicine,
that's
in
the
business
of
really
revolutionizing
the
diagnosis
and
treatment
of
cancer
worldwide,
and
so
we're
thrilled
to
welcome
them
to
the
Seaport
and
to
the
city
of
Boston
as
a
whole.
AM
In
addition
to
building
buildings
and
parks,
we've
continued
our
commitment
to
and
a
tradition
of
providing
public
programming
on
the
parks
that
we've
already
finished.
We've
already
built
several
parks
in
the
neighborhood
so
last
year,
or
this
year
alone,
we've
done
over
500
free
public
events
in
the
Seaport
from
farmers,
markets
and
Symphony
Orchestra
concerts
and
ballet
performances
at
a
mobile
agricultural,
Goods
truck
and
then
coming
up.
We'll
have
our
4th
annual
holiday
tree
lighting
for
the
neighborhood,
some
interactive
winter
public
art.
AM
So
these
Illustrated
here
are
three
of
the
seven
original
sculptures
that
we
commissioned
from
an
artist
named
Dooku
de
San
Miguel
placed
prominently
in
Seaport
Boulevard
to
help
sort
of
spice
up
the
character
of
the
neighborhood
and
bring
some
really
interesting
public
art
to
the
area.
So
with
that,
as
a
just
a
brief
update,
we'll
turn
our
attention
to
the
matter
at
hand
before
you
this
evening
and
that's
block
in
a
350
Summer
Street,
which
is
located
right
here
on
between
summer
Street
and
Congress
Street
at
the
southwest
corner
of
the
overall
development
block.
AM
An
is
located
immediately
adjacent
to
the
historic
for
point
Channel,
Landmark
District,
which
figured
heavily
in
our
decision
in
terms
of
the
architect
and
our
approach
to
the
architecture.
We
decided
to
work
with
an
architect
named
Morris
ajami
from
New
York
who's
done
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
in
landmark
districts
around
the
country
and
brings
a
real
sensitivity
around
working
with
in
historic
structures
in
historic
districts.
This
is
an
image
of
a
building
he
did
in
lower
Manhattan,
which
you
know
blends
a
beautiful
historic.
AM
You
know
low-rise
historic
building
with
a
very
contemporary
sort
of
neo
industrial
component
to
it,
which
is
something
that
really
appealed
to
us.
We,
we
sort
of
wanted
to
break
away
from
the
glass
boxes
that
we
see
very
often
these
days
in
terms
of
architecture
and
so
the
inspiration.
Of
course,
he
had
to
look
no
further
than
the
adjacent
Fort
Point
channel,
landmark
district
for
his
inspiration
in
terms
of
the
building's
vernacular
and
then
here's
an
image
of
the
building
itself.
This
is
a
building.
AM
It's
a
bit
hard
to
see
because
of
the
the
lighting,
but
the
building
is
can
comprised
of
brick
masonry.
It's
a
dark,
gray,
sort
of
a
charcoal
color
brick.
It
has
arch
top
windows,
it's
a
very
contextual
building
that
tries
to
be
very
respectful
of
its
place
on
both
summer
Street
and
Congress
Street,
immediately
adjacent
to
the
historic
Fort
Point
channel
district.
So
this
is
a
view
from
summer
Street.
Looking
back
to
its
South
Station,
this
is
a
view
from
Congress
Street.
AM
In
the
background
it
to
such
that
the
you
know,
the
new
Seaport
square
development
could
kind
of
feel
like
a
seamless
extension
of
Fort
Point,
as
opposed
to
having
a
you
know
a
bunch
of
new
buildings,
smacking
you
in
the
face.
As
soon
as
you
broke
out
of
the
historic
district,
we
tried
very
hard
to
it
to
have
continuity.
AM
This
is
an
image
backup
on
Summer
Street,
now
looking
again
west
towards
South
Station
350
summer
is
shown
right
here
and
in
the
building
in
the
foreground
is
400
summer,
also
by
Morris
a
jury.
This
is
sort
of
the
view
that
you
will
have
in
the
future.
As
you
come
out
of
the
Convention
Center
look
west
towards
the
city
right
now,
all
you
see
is
a
central
outer
event
building
and
then
nothing
because
Summer
Street
is
24
feet
up
in
the
air.
AM
This
is
another
view
from
the
Summer
Street
Bridge,
now
looking
east
towards
the
convention
center.
This
is
the
central
outer
event
building
this
is
400
summer,
which
will
shortly
be
under
construction
and
again
it's
a
bit
hard
to
see
but
we'll
be
constructing
in
between
these
two
buildings
at
Grand
stair,
a
major
public
gesture
connecting
Summer
Street,
which
is
up
on
a
bridge
to
Congress
Street
down
at
sort
of
seaport
grade.
AM
Here's
an
image
of
the
grand
stair
from
Congress
Street,
just
showing
the
some
of
the
beautiful
landscaping
that'll
be
associated
with
it,
and
the
the
strength
of
this
pedestrian
connection
between
Congress
Street
and
Summer
Street.
Basically,
across
from
the
Convention
Center,
this
is
a
connection
that
only
exists
today
with
the
8th,
Street
stair,
which
is
this
rickety
little
iron
stair.
AM
That
is
quite
hazardous,
so
we're
very
happy
to
make
this
public
gesture
and
we
envision
that
the
stairs
themselves
are
not
only
a
means
of
circulation
to
get
people
up
and
down,
but
also
a
place
unto
themselves.
That'll
have
a
lot
of
public
seating,
public,
musical
performances,
cafes
and
so
forth,
so
a
real
destination,
in
addition
to
just
a
manner
of
circulation.
AM
So
with
that
as
background
on
the
project
itself,
as
Ashley
mentioned,
in
addition
to
the
new
jobs
and
taxes
and
and
another
public
benefits,
there
are
a
couple
of
specific
public
benefits.
We
wanted
to
highlight
associated
with
the
project,
the
increase
in
the
funding
for
the
Performing
Arts
Center,
that
we'll
be
building
on
Block
L,
five
to
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars.
AM
We've
also
committed
to
accelerating
that
payment,
and
we've
also
committed
to
a
three
approximately
three
million
dollar
payment
for
affordable
housing
in
association,
specifically
with
this
block
as
well,
and
with
that,
madam
vice
chair
members
of
the
board.
That
concludes
our
presentation.
We'd,
like
to
thank
you
for
your
attention,
we'd
like
to
thank
Aisling
for
facilitating
a
terrific
community
process,
and
it
we'd
be
very
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
A
M
Dodj
Tucker
I
have
worked
in
the
Seaport
for
three
years,
and
I
am
a
resident
of
South
Boston.
In
my
short
time
in
the
Seaport,
it's
been
very
cool
to
kind
of
see
a
city
within
a
city
grow
and
and
be
built.
I
think
it'll
be
excellent
to
add
another
new
building
in
into
the
area,
adding
more
office
and
an
opportunity
for
the
flourishing
life
science
industry
to
kind
of
make
its
way
down
in
the
Seaport,
as
we
see
zero
vacancy
in
Kendall
to
do
so
also
to
kind
of
go
along
with
that.
M
The
the
Seaport
and
all
of
the
extra
extra
community
kind
of
steps
that
they've
taken
it
like
really
makes
it
a
very
friendly
place
to
be.
There
are
people
out
and
about
willing
to
help
you.
There
are
events
there
are
activations
I
am
in
full
support
of
this
project
as
it
it
is
a
continuation
of
the
already
successful
seaport
project,
as
we
know
it
today.
Thank.
AN
Good
evening
my
name
is
Kim
Wilson
and
I
am
an
owner
of
Car
Dealers
gourmet
shop.
So
those
of
you
might
know
us
from
Harvard
Square,
but
we
have
been
in
the
Seaport
now
almost
a
year
and
a
half
and
we
are
honored
and
thrilled
to
be
there
what's
been
most
exciting
to
us
as
small
business
owners
is
the
vitality
and
the
vibrance
of
the
Seaport
community.
AN
It
has
multiple
facets
to
me
as
a
small
business
owner,
I've
sort
of
walk
you
through
a
little
bit
of
during
the
day
in
the
day,
it's
a
plethora
of
construction
workers
and
people
who
work
in
the
Seaport
who
come
down
to
car
dealers
for
lunch
and
snacks,
and
things
like
that,
and
then
it
really
really
transforms
in
the
afternoon
to
really
being
on
the
and
the
afternoon
evening
and
the
weekends
to
a
neighborhood,
and
we
love
being
part
of
that.
You
know.
AN
We've
already
talked
about
all
of
the
events
and
things
like
that
or
that
are
there
and
they've
all
come
to
life
and
they
continue
to
grow
each
and
every
one.
Now
we're
anniversary
those
events
with
ws,
whether
it's
the
tree
lighting
in
the
winter
art
and
all
of
those
things
and
the
more
and
more
pedestrians
and
the
residents
who
come
there.
It
has
made
the
business
that
car
Doulos
continue
to
grow
month
after
month,
so
we,
my
husband
I,
are
in
full
support
of
this
project.
AN
AO
Everyone,
my
name,
is
Brett
Clancy
I'm
a
ten
year
resident
of
Boston
and
a
five
year,
I
guess
work
resident
of
the
Seaport
I
walked
by
here
on
a
regular
basis,
always
thinking
myself.
This
is
a
pretty
windswept
area.
I
think
this
does
a
nice
job
of
bridging
the
gap
between
Congress
and
summer
Street.
The
stairs
are
going
to
be
a
nice
thing,
because
right
now
is
they
were
saying.
The
stairs
up
to
a
street
are
very
difficult,
can
get
icy
in
the
winter
etc.
AO
I
think
the
building
is
contextual,
it
kind
of
bridges
the
gap
nicely
between
between
for
point
and
these
newer
buildings
in
the
Seaport.
So
it's
sort
of
bridges
that
gap
in
a
tasteful
way
and,
like
others
have
said,
WS
has
done
a
beautiful
job
with
programming
development
and
I,
you
know,
would
be
excited
to
see
what
they
could
do
in
a
similar
fashion.
Going
forward
so
I'm
in
in
support
of
this.
AP
Hi,
my
name
is
Jennifer
Wheaton
I've
lived
in
the
Seaport
area
for
about
nine
years.
In
the
nine
years
it's
been
so
wonderful
to
see
the
changes
that
have
become
in
the
area.
I
recently
have
a
two-year-old,
puppy
and
I,
as
everyone
knows,
use
it
at
6:00
in
the
morning
in
at
midnight
and
so
being
somebody
who's
lived
down
there
to
see
the
changes
and
to
actually
have
some
people
that
are
neighbors
has
really
impacted.
The
area
I
think
that
this
would
be
a
wonderful
and
welcomed
part
of
the
community.
I
love.
AP
The
idea
of
the
different
steps
going
up
I
feel
that
once
I
get
to
row,
34
it
ends
and
I
think
that
this
will
really
bridge
the
gap
and
bring
more
community
into
what
we
have
right
now.
I'm
in
full
support
of
this
I
also
love
the
brick
because
there's
so
many
glass
buildings
down
there
I
don't
always
need
to
see
my
reflection,
which
is
just
behind
us.
So
a
little
bit
brick
is
is
really
nice
and
I
also
would
like
to
give
a
huge
shout
out
to
WS
with
the
public
art,
I.
AP
A
Ok
is
there
anyone
who
would
who
else
would
like
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
project?
Okay,
hearing,
none!
Is
there
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak
in
opposition
of
the
proposed
project?
Please
come
to
the
podium,
okay
hearing,
none!
So
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
ask
if
the
board
members
have
any
questions,
I
have.
I
A
question:
can
you
talk
more
explicitly
about
the
housing
units
that
are
not
going
to
be
in
this
building
and
where?
How
many
exactly
and
where
they're
going
to
be
relocated
to
sure.
AM
And
maybe
maybe
what
I
could
do
if,
if
you
would,
what
allow
is
put
the
map
back
up?
That
one
of
the
great
things
about
this
project
is
that
you
know
it's
comprised
of
20
city
blocks,
so
it
was
always
sort
of
plan
that
the
pieces
could
move
around
over
time,
because,
of
course,
this
you
know
wouldn't
happen
overnight.
AM
AM
AM
F
A
A
Okay,
so
we're
going
to
jump
back
to
item
number
26
request
authorization
to
enter
into
an
amended
and
restated
land
disposition,
agreement
amending
the
two-story
commercial
space
to
a
three-story
residential
dwelling
for
parcel
our
93
located
at
241,
Bunker,
Hill
Street,
and
to
issue
a
certificate
of
completion
to
241
Bunker
Hill,
Street
trust
Christopher.
Thank.
AQ
You
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
director,
golden
Madam,
Secretary
and
members
of
the
board
before
you,
as
stated
as
a
recommendation
for
approval
authorizing
the
director
to
enter
into
an
amended
and
restated
land
disposition
agreement
with
actually
Joan
Sheen,
who
was
formerly
of
241
Bunker,
Hill,
Street,
Tufts,
trust
and
issue
a
certificate
of
completion
for
the
property
with
her
the
trustee,
the
former
trustee.
Essentially,
this
is
just
a
cleanup
of
an
out
of
compliance
Lda
to
allow
for
a
potential
sale.
AQ
The
original
Lda
called
for
a
two-story
building
with
commercial
on
the
first
floor
and
residences
above
the
original
Lda
had
a
certificate
of
completion
vote,
but
that
is
unrecorded
in
the
mid-1980s
241
Bunker
Hill
Street
fell
out
of
compliance
with
that
Lda
by
adding
a
third
storey
and
eliminating
the
commercial
space.
The
amended
and
restated
Lda
proposed
would
bring
parcel
r93
back
into
compliance
by
allowing
for
a
three-story
residential
single-family
that
is
currently
present
PPD
a
staff
toured
the
site
and
is
consistent
with
that
potential
amended
Lda.
Let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions.
AQ
I
AQ
Quite
excellent,
I
would
venture
to
say
we're
a
hundred
percent
done,
we're
always
double-checking
and
stuff
like
that.
You
know
finding
things
here
and
there,
but
I
haven't
come
across
any
errors
recently
and
it's
actually
working
wonderfully.
It's
helped
me
a
lot
and
yeah
I
would
say
it's
completely
done
something
good.
So.
I
A
AQ
Now
that
that
certificate
of
completion
is
pursuant
to
the
First
Amendment
to
the
LDA,
that's
already
occurred
so
they're
not
entering
into
a
a
new
amendment
but
they're
just
seeking
a
certificate
of
completion,
BPA
staff
toward
the
interior
and
outdoor
spaces
of
the
new
single-family
townhouse
and
found
the
buildings
to
be
constructed
according
to
the
BPA
approved
plans
and
thus
have
written
a
memo
recommending
the
issuance
of
the
certificate
of
completion.
Let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions.
A
AQ
You
again,
madam
chair
director,
Goldman
Madam,
Secretary
and
members
of
the,
as
stated
before,
you
is
a
recommendation
for
approval
authorizing
the
director
for
an
issuance
of
a
certificate
of
completion
for
parcel
r8
at
26
north
meat
street
in
charlestown
PPD,
a
staff
did
tour
the
interior
and
the
outdoor
spaces
of
the
owner-occupied
townhouse
and
found
the
buildings
to
be
constructed
according
to
the
land
disposition
agreement
and
thus
have
written
a
memo
recommending
the
issuance
of
a
certificate
of
completion.
Let
me
know
if
you
have
any
questions
any.
AR
Afternoon,
members
of
the
board
secretary
miss
director
golden.
As
you
know,
we
we
run
almost
every
year
a
grant
cycle
with
the
boston
college,
neighborhood
improvement
fund.
There
was
one
that
the
task
force
made
recommendations
on
last
winter
and
earlier
round
of
funding
was
approved
to
some
of
those
projects
in
the
spring,
several
others
were
held
up
and,
what's
before
you
is
our
board
approval
to
get
those
moving.
So
at
this
point,
all
of
the
projects
from
that
grant
cycle
have
now
been
approved
by
the
task
force
by
boston
college
and
by
us.
A
C

A
AS
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
through
you
to
the
members
I
want
to
point
out
an
important
milestone
that
occurred
this
week.
We
we,
we
marked
the
one-year
anniversary
of
plan
Matapan.
It
was
celebrated
at
the
Kipp
public
charter
school,
the
Kipp
Academy
in
Mattapan.
Yesterday,
this
anniversary,
this
one-year
anniversary
of
plan
Mattapan
built
on
more
than
a
hundred
five
community
engagement
events,
including
over
65
neighborhood
association
meetings
and
one
of
our
workshops
included
a
conversation
conducted
on
the
subject
of
planned
Mattapan
entirely
in
Haitian
Creole.
AS
The
BP
DA's
planning
staff
has
organized
and
facilitated
and
participated
in
all
of
these
meetings
that
have
been
held
since
the
planning
studies
launched
last
fall.
The
plan
Mattapan
is
guided
by
imagine
Boston
2030
our
umbrella.
The
first
citywide
plan
in
over
50
years
plan
Mattapan
goal
as
a
subcomponent
plan.
Matta
pans
goal
is
to
create
a
comprehensive
vision
to
shape
inclusive
growth
and
investment
throughout
the
neighborhood
at
the
core
of
the
plan,
in
all
of
the
planning
studies
underway
across
the
city,
there's
about
16
of
them
underway
right
now.
AS
I
also
want
to
just
call
attention
again
to
one
of
the
developments
that
you
approved
tonight.
Three
three
thousand
three
hundred
sixty-eight
Washington
Street
and
Jamaica
Plain.
It's
a
joint
endeavor
with
Pine
Street
Inn
and
the
community
builders,
both
of
whom
are
really
high-quality
mission.
Oriented
developers
of
a
fort
of
housing,
affordable
housing
in
supportive
services
did
this.
This
really
is
one
of
the
nicest
projects
I
think
we've
approved
this
year.
AS
It's
a
hundred
forty
units
for
extremely
low-income,
formerly
homeless,
Bostonians
and
an
additional
sixty
to
low
to
moderate
income
units
and
again
it
helps
us
advance
the
very
important
goals
of
plan
JP
rocks
in
in
ensuring
that
the
very
positive
development
climate
that
we're
experiencing
benefits
people
all
along
the
socio-economic
spectrum
in
Boston,
and
especially,
very
vulnerable
populations
such
as
these.
So
this
is
a
really
tremendous
success
story,
I
think
those
who
participated
in
the
neighbourhood
to
think
about
the
project
with
us
and
with
the
developers
this
this.
AS
This
remains
a
the
biggest
building
boom
in
the
history
of
the
city
and
we're
very
pleased
that
it
continues
to
benefit
people
all
along
the
socio-economic
spectrum,
just
as
a
just
just
to
put
a
fine
point
on
it.
This
is
gonna
provide
140
units
to
people
who
were
formerly
homeless
right
now.
The
city
estimates
that
about
120
between
120
hundred
thirty
people
live
on
the
city
streets
at
night.
AS
It
was
a
homeless
who
are
not
in
shelter,
is
not
in
motels
and
not
in
not
not
anywhere,
but
the
outdoors
at
night,
especially
and
weather
such
as
we're
experiencing
now
abnormal
cold.
In
in
early
November,
but
it
just
reminds
you
how
important
in
precious
each
one
of
these
units
is
a
hundred
forty
new
units
for
a
hundred
forty
formerly
homeless
people.
AS
That's
about
the
population,
that's
living
on
the
street

every

a
it's,
a
great
victory
for
the
individuals
who
live

of

share
in
the
well-being
of
