contract
with
arcadius
us
Incorporated
to
produce
a
flood
resilience,
planning
and
feasibility
study
for
the
Raymond
Al
Flynn
Marine
Park,
pursuant
to
the
bpda
designer
selection
policy
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
one
million.
Ninety
five
thousand
three
hundred
ninety
five
dollars.
D
D
This
matter
was
lasted
for
you
at
the
September
board
meeting
of
last
year
to
request
authorizations
to
specific
qualifications
and
fees
for
this
work
as
you'll
likely
recall,
the
purpose
of
the
study
is
to
advance
the
efforts
of
climate
ready,
Boston
and
climate
resilience
solutions
for
South
Boston
to
determine
the
relative
feasibility
of
the
two
solutions
that
were
proposed
by
those
cow
studies.
The
objective
is,
together
with
our
tenants
and
stakeholders,
to
reach
consensus
on
a
singular
approach
that
can
be
further
developed
and
constructed
in
subsequent
procurements.
D
The
result
will
be
a
detailed
site
assessment
and
reported
findings
and
recommendations
to
mitigate
flood
impacts
that
can
be
used
for
plan
as
well
as
pursue
funding
for
needed
resilience
improvements
in
the
marine
park.
At
a
district
level.
The
agency
issued
a
formal
request
for
proposals
in
accordance
with
our
designer
selection
policy
in
November
of
last
year.
That
process
included
Outreach
to
disadvantaged
firms
with
66
interested
parties
downloading
the
RFP
we
had
five
firms
solicit
or
excuse
me
submit
proposals
in
response
to
our
solicitation.
D
They
were
arcadis
a
rep,
gei,
scantec
and
Tetra
Tech
all
were
very
well
qualified
and
esteemed
firms.
A
designer
selection
committee,
was
composed
of
colleagues
from
the
climate
ready
Boston
team,
including
the
city
of
Boston's,
environment
Department,
as
well
as
our
own
climate
change
and
environmental
planning
team,
as
well
as
real
estate's
Capital
Construction
team.
We
assembled
and
reviewed
each
submitting
firm's
qualifications
experience
and
proposed
fee.
Based
on
that
review,
the
committee
recommends
the
engineering
contract
be
awarded
to
arcadis.
D
They
have
a
multi-disciplinary
team
assembled
that
includes
child's
engineering
for
maritime
engineering
work,
Woods
home
group
for
flood
mitigation
risk
modeling,
one
architecture
of
urbanism
who's,
performing
stakeholder
engagement
and
Alpha
survey,
who's,
doing
land
serving
land
surveying
and
family.
The
total
contract
award
is
for
one
million
ninety
five
thousand
395
dollars.
It's
been
improvementally,
budgeted
for
in
the
agency's
fiscal
year,
23
capital
budget.
Therefore,
we
are
requesting
that
the
director
be
authorized
to
enter
into
this
contract
with
arcadis
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
A
F
Good
afternoon
I'm,
the
director
of
research
evaluation
analytics
with
the
office
of
Workforce
Development
our
office
is
requesting
authorization
to
issue
a

an
assessment
of
the
workforce
impact
of
the
green
New
Deal
on
the
Boston
area,
labor
labor

across
multiple
sectors.
As
you
know,
the
city's
climate
resilience
and
Workforce
Development
is
a
core
component
of
Mayor
Woo's
Green
New
Deal
policy
framework
to
advance
this
policy.
F
Owd
has
been
working
closely
with
various
City
agencies
and
cabinets
to
develop
comprehensive
Workforce
strategies
and
labor
policies
to
accelerate
the
transition
to
a
carbon
neutral
economy.
To
support
this
effort,
owd
in
cooperation
with
various
City
agencies
is
seeking
to
commission
a
study
of
the
workforce
requirements
and
training
needs
to
achieve
the
environmental
targets
set
out
in
the
green
New
Deal.
F
The
goals
of
the
assessment
are
to
determine
the
employment
implications
of
the
green
New
Deal,
identify
the
skills
required
for
new
and
Greening
occupations
and
determine
reskilling
and
upskilling
needs
of
workers,
particularly
those
who
have
been
disadvantaged
in
the
labor
market
or
will
be
potentially
displaced
by
Green
policies.
The
grant
period
is
12
months
starting
in
February,
and
the
cost
is
not
expected
to
exceed
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
F
The
funding
for
the
RFP
will
come
out
of
administrative
costs
that
OD
from
funding
the
owd
received
from
the
good
jobs
challenge
Grant,
which
is
a
23
million

competitive
Grant,
supported
by
the
American

plan
act
administered
by
the
economic
development
administration
of
the
U.S
Department
of
Commerce.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
present
that

the
board
this
afternoon,
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions.
A

Thank
you,
madam

this
board
at
last
month's

to
request
authorization

an
MOA
a
memorandum
of
agreement
with
the
office
of
returning
citizens
to
sublease
space
at
30
Dimock
street,
because
a
variety
of
unexpected
factors
with
the

negotiation
and
with
preparing
that
space
to
be
suitable
for
power
core
in
office
of
returning
citizens,
operations
upon
lease
commencement.
We
have
been
forced
to
delay
the
move.
G
Our
landlord
at
572
Columbus
has
been
very
accommodating
to
us
and
we
executed
earlier
this
week
this
amendment
in
order
to
make
sure
that
payment
was
issued
as
soon
as
possible
because
the
landlord
has
been
so
accommodating.
We
anticipate
in
this
time
that
we
will
be
moving
power
core,
finally
to
their
new
location
on
March
1st.
But
this
is
a
month-to-month
agreement.
G
The
landlord
has
agreed
to
continue
working
with
us
and
should
we
leave
prior
to
the
end
of
a
month,
we
will
be
able
to
pay
a
prorated
fee
in
order
to
make
sure
the
landlord
is
a
disadvantaged
for
helping
us
out
during
what
has
been
an
unexpected
delay.
If
you
have
any
questions,
I'll
just
take
them
now,.
A
Any
questions
or
comments
right
hearing
and
seeing
that
emotion
is
an
order.
No.
A
Motion
passes,
thank
you
and
send
our
thanks
to
to
the
very
accommodating
landlord.
We
appreciate
it.

A
Item
number
nine
informational
session.
We're
gonna
have
a
FY,
23,
Q2
I'm.
Sorry,
madam
chair
I,
think
you
skipped
number
five.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
Paul,
hey
Mr,
director
Jameson.
This
MOA
was
originally
drafted
in
response
to
a
consent,
degree,
which
was
the
result
of
civil
action
brought
by
the
conservation
law
Foundation
against
water
across
and
water
and
sewer
in
order
to
comply
with
the
conservation
law
foundation's
action
against
bwsc.
They
entered
into
a
series
of
these
agreements
with
Municipal
agencies
that
were
in
a
position
to
monitor
storm
water
runoff
and
help
comply
with
the
national
pollutant
discharge
elimination
system
permit,
which
media
bwsc
is
required
to
have.
G
This
agreement
was
expected
to
expire
in
December
31st
of
2021
because
of
Staff
turnover
at
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer
at
the
earliest
possible
time
they
were
able
to
get
us
an
amendment
drafted.
They
notified
us
that
we
needed
to
extend
the
agreement
in
order
to
keep
them
in
compliance.
G
We
are
extending
the
effective
date
all
the
way
back
to
the
date
of
expiration
and
it'll,
be
in
effect
for
an
additional
five
years
at
this
time
until
December,
31st
2026,
and
this
agreement
simply
continues
what
what's
into
writing,
what
was
operationally
already
happening,
which
was
a
series
of
Cooperative
measures
and
information
sharing
to
ensure
that
our
properties
were
complying
with
storm
water,
runoff
and
eliminating
pollution.
Thank
you.
G
We
weren't
a
party
to
the
original
action
that
I
I
don't
really
have
any
details
of
the
cassette
decree,
Beyond,
bra
and
adic's
role
in
it,
which
is
as
an
information
partner
to
Water
and
Sewer.
I
can
certainly
get
the.
Are
you
a
copy
of
the
consent?
Degree
through
the
executive
secretary
be.
G
Yeah
civil
action
was
filed,
BDW
USC,
Through,
The,
Descent
decree
admitted
fault.
It
worked
with
conservation
law
Foundation
to
create
this
apparatus
of
how
they're
going
to
report
and
coordinate
with
other
Municipal
agencies
bra
and
adic,
being
two
of
them
to
comply
with
Federal
permits
going
forward
great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Hi
and
the
truth
is
I
motion
passes.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
right
now,
we're
done
the
item
number
nine
informational
session.
This
is
the
FY
23
Q2
Finance
update
from
10.
J
J
Next
slide,
please.
So
we
begin
with
our
data
on
our
quotable
procurement
plan,
which
this
board
has
requested
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
as
you've
seen
in
previous
reports.
Here
are
the
five
aspects
of
that
plan.
Ensuring
the
procurement
process
is
accessible,
expanding
our
Outreach
and
assistance
efforts,
collecting
and
Reporting
data
and
ensuring
that
we
have
the
staff
resources
necessary
to
conduct
this
work
as
you'll
see
in
the
next
couple
of
slides.
This
work
is
producing
the
intended
results.
J
Next
slide.
Please
here
you'll
see
a
snapshot
of
our
contract
portfolio
as
of
January
31st.
As
you
can
see
in
the
left-hand
table,
minority-owned
firms
account
for
5.4
percent
of
total
active
contract.
Awards,
that's
up
from
3.8
percent
in
our
last
quarterly
update
in
November,
you'll
see
that
of
that
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
spent
with
minority
owned
firms.
Seven
contracts
are
valued
over
500
or
50
000,
averaging
more
than
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
piece
and
again
that
2.5
million
dollars
is
up
threefold
from
when
we
first
conducted
our
disparity
study
in
2020..
J
This
increase
was
not
at
the
expense
of
wbes
and
demonstrates
the
value
of
our
efforts.
We're
focused
on
not
only
sustaining,
but
growing
these
participation
levels
next
slide,
please.
This
site
captures
our
dashboard
on
Outreach
and
engagement
efforts.
Over
the
last
90
days,
I'll
point
out
a
few
numbers:
645
mwbe
vendors
were
contacted,
that's
down
from
the
prior
quarterly
report.
However,
there
tends
to
be
a
Slowdown
over
December,
as
solicitations
are
typically
pushed
to
January
February
to
ensure
the
highest
number
of
responses.
J
We
expect
that
number
to
pick
up
in
the
next
quarterly
update
you
see,
but
despite
that,
we
executed
11
contracts,
and
here
I
need
to
point
out
a
correction
three
of
those
contracts
that
we
executed.
We
are
happy
to
report
one
or
three,
not
one
we're
with
minority
or
women-owned
businesses.
Next
slide,
please.
J
J
Overall,
you
can
see
that
we've
collected
just
under
41
million
dollars
in
Revenue,
while
spending
33.8
million
dollars,
resulting
in
a
7.2
million
dollar
Surplus
over
that
time
frame.
Looking
a
little
closer
at
our
Revenue
numbers,
we
ended
the
second
quarter,
2.1
million
dollars
ahead
of
where
we
expected
to
be
at
this
point
in
time.
We
can
attribute
that
to
rental
and
Lease
income,
which
is
up
due
to
a
few
payments
from
tenants
that
were
not
incorporated
into
our
initial
projections.
Parking
revenue
is
also
up.
J
The
transit
budget
totals
are
one
million
dollars
over,
but
over
the
budget,
while
Revenue
come
from
Cruise
Patron
parking
is
a
little
below
budget.
So
far
moving
down
to
the
expenses
table,
we
see
that
personnel
and
employee
benefits
are
slightly
below
budget
note
that
this
reflects
the
vacancies
that
we've
been
carrying
throughout
the
agency.
You
can
expect
our
next
quarterly
update
to
include
numbers
associated
with
the
compensation
study
results
that
were
implemented
in
January
of
this
year.
J
Contractual
services
are
below
budget
due
to
several
factors:
owd
spending
transformation
spending
and
planning
initiatives
coming
in
a
little
below
budget.
So
far,
this
budget
was
increased
significantly
so
as
the
year
goes
on,
we'll
continue
to
Monitor
and
report
on
this
side
of
the
line
item.
Property
management
is
below
budget
due
to
accounting
changes,
insurance
and
also
some
initiatives
not
being
implemented.
Yet
we
should
see
a
ramp
up
in
costs
and
seasonal
work
and
work
order
agreements
as
we
get
into
the
second
half
of
the
year
next
slide.
Please.
J
This
is
companion
side
to
the
prior
one.
It
has
additional
detail
on
revenue
and
expenditure
highlights,
so
we
can
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
the
next.
One.
Here
is
an
overview
of
our
parking
Revenue,
which
comprises
a
significant
portion
of
our
overall
revenues.
The
green
dotted
line
indicates
actuals
from
July
through
December,
November
and
December,
as
you
can
see,
we're
both
strong
months
as
compared
with
our
projections,
and
when
you
compare
this
to
the
prior,
your
actuals
indicated
in
the
red
line.
It's
been
up
across
the
board
next
slide,
please.
J
Finally,
we
have
a
summary
table
on
our
slide
on
our
capital
budget.
The
current
capital
budget
has
51.6
million
dollars
worth
of
improvements
to
the
bpda
real
estate
portfolio
of
that
27.7
million
dollars
is
under
contract.
So
far
in
the
2023
fiscal
year,
7.3
million
dollars
has
been
spent.
You
can
see
historical
spending
in
the
chart
at
the
top
right
hand
of
the
slide.
J
Total
spending
is
accelerated
in
FY
23
from
the
prior
two
years,
primarily
due
to
progress
on
construction
at
building
108
and
Pier
four,
both
in
the
Charlestown
Navy
Yard,
as
well
as
the
Marine
garage
and
Northern
Avenue
in
the
Marine
Park.
Moving
to
the
two
graphs
at
the
bottom
of
the
page,
you
can
see
that
majority
of
our
projects
are
a
maritime
followed
by
building
construction
and
the
bulk
of
our
work
is
taking
part
taking
place
in
the
Marine
Park
and
the
Charlestown
Navy
Yard
next
slide.
Please.
K
You
made
reference
to
the
results
of
the
compensation
Equity
study.
Does
that
mean
that
steps
have
been
taken
to
equalize
salaries.
J
That's
correct:
the
salary
adjustments
were
implemented
and
paid
out
in
January,
so
you'll
you'll
see
that
as
an
adjustment.
Next
time
we
meet.
A
Okay,
additional
questions
or
comments
well
I
do
want
to
say
I
I,
like
the
updates
to
the
capital
budget,
slide,
The
View
on
Project
by
project
type
and
and
location,
as
is
a
nice
addition.
So
whoever
worked
on
that
had
that
idea,
good
job
okay,
so
this
was
an
informational
session,
so
we
don't
have
to
take
a
vote.
So
congratulations!
Tim!
You
completed
your
first
presentation
to
the
board

P
You,

chair,
our
members
of
the
board
director
Jameson
secretary
paulimus
for
the
record
of
Brian
Glasgow
deputy
director
for
regulatory
Planning
and
Zoning
I'm
joined
by
by
polygon,
the
RPC
part
of
planning,
Maya
kapler
gold
and
by
my
other
colleague,
Tim
Davis,
the
the
mayor's
office
of
housing.
Who's
going
to
lead
us
through
sort
of
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
linkage
piece
and
Via
will
talk
about
the
definitional
changes
that
are
required
in
order
to
make
this
work
so
Tim.
P
Thank
you,
I'm
Tim,
Davis
I'm,
the
deputy
director
for
policy
development
and
research
at
the
city
of
Boston,
mayor's
office
of
housing
next
slide.
Please
I
know
that
everyone
here
on
this
on
this
board
company
is
quite
familiar
with
mortgage
policy,
but
for
those
who
are
viewing
next
slide,
a
linkage
policy
is
a
development
impact
exaction
or.
N
P
Charge
to
large
commercial
development,
commercial
users
to
make
new
jobs,
which
means
there's
also
in
the
house
of
workers,
in
addition
to
ensure
that
current
Boston
residents
can
get
some
of
those
new
jobs,
job
trainings
required,
and
therefore
we
have
a
linkage
policy
that
provides
funds
for
both
housing
and
job
training.
Next
slide,
the
history
of
the
Lincoln
policy.
I
won't
go
through
this
in
detail,
but
our
first
housing
linkage
policy
was
adopted
in
1983
with
jobs.
Funding
was
created
in
1986
before
2021.
P
In
order
for
us
to
make
substantial
increases
in
the
linkage
fees,
we
had
to
actually
do
a
normal
petition
for
the
city
council
and
to
the
state
house.
In
2021,
we
passed
a
humble
petition
that
gave
us
more
leniency
and
more
flexibility
to
change
that,
although
it
does
require
a
Nexus
and
reputability
study,
and
so
that
is
what
we
completed
during
2022.
Was
that
feasibility
study,
as
well
as
listing
sections
on
proposed
of
these
changes
next
slide
next
slide.
P
The
current
linkage
policy
applies
to
projects
with
a
hundred
thousand
or
more
of
square
feet
of
commercial
space
and
that
first
hundred
thousand
square
feet
physics
yeah.
These
are
thirteen
dollars,
a
square
foot
for
housing
and
2.39
is
for
jobs.
Housing
payments
regarding
seven
annual,
equal
payments
and
job
payments
were
in
two
people
next
slide.
P
So
just
an
example.
At
the
property
was
250
000
square
feet.
The
exemption
would
be
a
hundred
thousand
square
feet,
so
the
fee
would
only
be
based
on
that
150
000
square
feet
and
the
housing
fee
would
be
1.95
million
in
the
job.
Speed
would
be
350
next
slide,
so
that's
this
exception.
In
1986,
The
Neighborhood
Housing
Trust
has
awarded
more
than
227
million
dollars
in
linkage.
Funds
for
affordable
housing,
creating.
B
P
9
000
new
income,
restricted
housing
units
of
preserving
over
six
thousand
and
the
jobs
trusted
received
over
55
million
in
linkage.
Funds
per
job
training,
which
provides
important
training
and
education
programs,
including
the
tuition
slime
next
slide
the
proposed
linkage
policy.
We
would
drop
the
threshold
in
the
exemption
from
a
hundred
thousand
square
feet
to
50
000
square
feet.
The
rates
would
differ
between
lab
and
other
commercial
uses.
P
The
increases
will
be
phased
in
over
two
years
and
it
would
be
starting
in
January
of
2024
not
immediately,
and
there
would
be
two
payments
for
each
for
both
the
jobs,
trust,
and
it
must
be
noted
that
the
new
policy
does
not
apply
to
any
projects
at
a
party
filed
with
pcba
has
on
the
date
of
adoption.
That
is
part
of
the
legislation,
and
so
that
means
there'll
be
some
running
local
votes
to
submit
documents.
P
Next
slide,
please
this
kind
of
provides
kind
of
all
of
these
summary
of
changes,
but
I'll
highlight
the
jobs
linkage
and
the
housing
linkage
number.
It
goes
from
two
five
dollars
and
39
cents
for
jobs,
linkage
up
to
4.78
cents,
two
years
from
now
and
the
housing
linkage
would
be
going
from
13
to
26
dollars.
P
Sorry
I
skipped
IT
jobs,
linkage
for
labs
and
Commercial.
We
go
from
239
to
302.76.
Housing.
Linkage
on
Labs
would
go
from
thirteen
dollars
to
twenty
six
dollars
on
other
commercial
units
of
13
to
19.38
next
slide
and
here's
an
example
again.
Sorry
for
the.
N
P
Here
a
little
bit
funny,
but
it
would
be
based
on
200
000
square
feet.
Instead
of
150
000
square
feet,
the
lab
use
the
pouncing
things
with
2.9
Million.
This
is
based
on.
This
will
be
based
on
the
initial
change
and
718
000
for
the
job
speed
and
for
non-lab
3.2
million
and
616
000
next
slide,
and
then
I
will
cast
it
back
over
to
the
knitting.
Q
A
Q
Laboratory,
as
I
said,
this
use
is
currently
on
the
use
tables,
but
not
to
find
the
code
also
proposing
amending
definitions
such
as
clinical
light
manufacturing,
Clinic.
A
P
Quick
smile
so
next
slide
great
there.
In
addition
to
the
extensive
listening
sessions
that
Tim
mentioned
in
the
development
of
the
feasibility
study,
we
did
hold
a
public
meeting
city-wide
public
meeting
back
in
January
at
really
outstanding
attendance
was
a
virtual
meeting,
but
it
did
allow
for
a
lot
more
people
to
participate
and
we
kept
the
count
period
open
in
your
recent
package.
You've
got
copies
of
the
comment
letters
we
received
a
majority
of
the
comments
expressed
support
for
the
proposal.
In
fact,
you
know
I
think
it
was.
P
There
was
a
lot
of
the
applicants
who
were
suggesting
that
that
we
go
in
even
further
and
the
zoning
language
changes.
The
zoning
language
that
for
the
job
retention
worked
for
prepared
us
was,
was
added
to
be
even
more
descriptive
about
how
that
those
funds
could
be
applied.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
the
jobs
trading
button
goes
to
helping
bostonians
benefit
from
the
development
of
these
wild
research
lab
uses
and
that
we're
all
here
able
to
answer
questions.
If
you
haven't
it's
your
time.
O
P
I'm
going
to
very
quickly
hand
this
over
to
Tim,
but
one
of
the
things
I
would
mention
is
that
Tim
did
mention
in
passing,
because
we
changed
the
zoning
enabling
the
legislation
that
gave
us
the
authority
to
to
manage
linkage
numbers.
We
have
the
ability
to
adjust
this
in
the
future
going
forward
and
we
do
track
those
kinds
of
things.
So
if
we
felt.
R
P
Had
really
had
not
grazed
it
high
enough
to
offset
the
impact
that
this
would
have.
We
have
another
opportunity
anytime.
We
wish
generally
annually
to
increase
that,
and
these
numbers
also
go
up
based
on
the
Consumer
Price
Index
each
year
as
well
automatically.
So
there
is
an
opportunity
ratcheting
up,
but
I'd
attempt
to
talk
about
the
feasibility
study
in
you
know
the
work
that
the
outside.
P
That
we
used
developed,
thank
you
Brian.
As
part
of
this,
we
are
required
to
do
what's
called
the
Nexus
study
and
to
an
RFP
process,
we've
hired
Carlton
seidman,
who
is
an
economist
and
an
academic
who
has
done
many
of
these
studies
before
including
from
the
city
of
Boston
and
he's
looking
at
really
two
questions.
P
One
is
about
Nexus,
meaning
is
what
is
the
impact
of
a
specific
development
on
the
need
for
low-income
housing
and
the
need
for
job
training,
and
then
he
puts
a
dollar
number
on
that,
so
it's
kind
of
like
what
is
that?
That's
the
most
that
we
should
be
looking
to
it's
the
value
to
get
the,
but
then
to
do
answer
your
question
around
balance.
They
lead
us
through
a
feasibility
study
to
then
look
at
okay.
P
What
can
a
developer
actually
carries
for
which
is
going
to
be
lower
than
that
actual
Nexus
number,
and
so
that
so
the
feasibility
study
and
that's
brings
a
lot.
We're
able
to
do
something
more
on
Labs,
because
the
peaceability
and
labs
to
significantly
higher
than
it
is
on
other
commercial
uses,
and
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
able
to
pull
multiple
Labs.
Also,
it
will
work
for
more
of
her
labs
in
terms
jobs,
training,
because
that
is
a
field
to
which
we
have
a
smaller
job.
H
A
P
K
My
colleague
pretty
much
asked
the
question.
I
was
going
to
ask
where,
where
are?
Are
we
adjacent
in
relation
to
other
adjacent
communities?
Do
we
know.
P
I
think
it's
important
to
you
know
acknowledge
the
the
development
costs
and
construction
costs
and
the
Fed
Up
costs
of
lab
spaces
are
at
least
double
other
dip
uses.
Other
development
project
uses
anywhere
from
750
to
a
thousand
dollars
a
square
foot
for
construction
and
then
maybe
another
five
hundred
dollars
a
square
foot
for
fit
out.
So
these
the
ratio
of
this
of
the
linkage
fee
to
the
construction
costs
is
incredibly
small
and
and
the
Cambridge
fee
that
they
adjusted
it
in
October.
P
It's
just
over
33
dollars
per
square
foot
on
all
property,
all
commercial
sites,
and
there
they're
they're
only
exempting
the
first
30
000
Square,
because,
whereas
in.
S
K
Yeah
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
we
received
some
very
well
researched
and
thoughtful
comment.
Letters
on
both
sides
of
this
issue
and
I
want
to
thank
the
proponents
on
both
sides
increase
or
or
not
increase
for
the
work
that
they
put
into
this

you.

I'll
note
that,
as
you
heard
from
my
colleague,
Warren
Lee
during
the
uvac
portion
of
today's

the
RFP
cycle
and
timeline
is
different
between
the
very
distinct
markets
of
the
marine
park
and
the
downtown
water
park.
So,
although
we
are
not
replied
to
do
so
by
law,
we
issued
an
RFP
to
ensure
as
much
Outreach
and
participation
as
possible
opinion
to
build
on
the
recovery
of
coven

V
A
You
questions
or
comments
from
the
board
and
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you
Laura
This
was
you
guys
have
done
a
good
job
in
in
this
RFP
process
with
that
emotion
is
in
order.
So.
D
Thank
you
again.
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
as
stated
I
am
asking
for
authorization
to
enter
into
an
engineering
design
contract
with
feinfelder
Northeast
for
the
flood,
resilience
planning
and
feasibility
study
at
Long
Wharf.
This
matter
was
also
before
you
last
September
of
last
year
to
request
authorization
to
solicit
qualifications
for
this
work
as
you'll
likely
recall.
The
purpose
of
this
study
is
to
advance
efforts
to
climate
ready,
Boston
and
climate
resilient
solutions
to
downtown
Boston
and
the
North
Bend
to
determine
the
relative
feasibility
of
three
solutions
that
were
proposed
by
those
studies.
D
The
objective
is,
together
with
the
area
of
stakeholders
to
each
consensus
on
a
singular
approach
that
can
be
further
developed
and
constructed
in
subsequent
pyramids.
The
result
will
be
a
detailed
site
assessment
and
a
report
of
findings
and
recommendations
that
would
mitigate
flood
impacts.
That
could
be
also
be
used
to
plan
and
pursue
funding
for
needed
resilience.
Improvements
to
the
longboard,
the
agency
issued
our
request
for
proposals
in
accordance
with
the
designer
selection
policy.
On
November
of
the
past
year,
the
process
included
Outreach
to
disadvantage
firms
with
70
parties
downloaded
to
the
RFP.
D
We
had
five
firms
submit
proposals
in
response
to
those
specification
all
were
very
well
qualified
and
of
note
of
Interest.
Most
of
them
were
different
from
the
solicitation
offer
for
the
marine
park,
so
we
were
very
happy
to
see
the
broad
features.
The
firms
for
this
solicitation
was
a
rook
GZA,
kleinfelder,
Michael,
Van,
valkenburg
and
Wesleyan
Sims
designer
selection
policy
or
excuse
me.
A
designer
selection
committee
was
composed
of
colleagues
from
the
climate
ready,
Boston
team.
D
We
had
the
city
of
Boston's
environment
Department,
participate
our
own
climate
change
and
environmental
planning
team,
as
well
as
the
real
estate's
Capital
Construction
team.
We
reviewed
each
team
submitting.
We
reviewed
each
submitting
team's
qualifications
experience
on
their
proposed
speed.
Based
on
that
review,
the
committee
recommended
engineering
contract
to
be
awarded
to
kleinfelter.
They
have
a
multi-disciplinary
team,
the
symbol
that
includes
stos,
landscape,
urbanism
off
infrastructure,
one
architecture
and
urbanism
here,
consultants
and
kevil

the
total
contract
award
for
this
one
will
be
880.

The
Harvard
Enterprise
research,

or
ERC
is
a
proposed
mixed-use
District
located
in
Austin.
The
goal
of
the
Harvard
ERC
district
and
Greenway
plan
is
to
work
with
a
community
to
establish
a
district-wide
vision
for
the
area,
help
shape
the
design
and
activation
of
the
proposed
site-wide
Greenway,
and
also
create
predictable
and
enforceable
framework
for
future
development
to
ensure
that
it
is
sensitive
to
the
needs
and
goals
of
the
neighborhood.

project
emerged
out
of

X
Good
afternoon
Madam
chair
secretary
Fulton,
was
director
Jefferson,
a
members
of
the
board
I'm
actually
going
to
present
agenda
items
12x13
together
since
they're
very
closely
related
and
you'll
see
in
a
few
minutes
why
the
requests
before
you
in
agenda
items,
12
and
13,
are
to
authorize
the
epda
to
advertise
and
issue
two
requests
for
proposals
for
consultant
services
to
support
the
agency
in
its
upcoming
transformation
of
the
article
reading
development
process.
X
Next
slide,
mayor
Wu
and
her
state
of
the
city
address
and
her
January
30th
executive
order
relative
to
resilience,
affordability
and
Equity
has
charged
the
bpda
with
creating
and
implementing
a
reformed
development
review
process
that
approves
how
communities
developers
and
the
bpda
work
together
to
shape
the
city
we
Embrace
this
need
for
Change,
and
we
recognize
that
a
successful
development
review
process
is
one
that
advances.
Citywide
calls
aligns
with
planning
is
easy
to
engage
with
and
creates
predictable
business
environment
for
all
of
its
stakeholders.
Next
slide.
X
To
that
end,
we
would
like
to
undertake
two
projects
to
procure
consultant
services
to
support
our
efforts.
The
first
of
these
two
products
in
agenda
item
12
is
the
article
80
Community
engagement,
reform
project,
which
will
entail
a
review
and
Analysis
of
the
existing
Community
engagement
practices
and
develop
recommendations
to
make
them
more
Equitable,
inclusive
and
transparent.
X
The
second
agenda
item
13,
is
article.
Is
the
article
80
operations
perform
review
project,
which
is
an
analysis
of
the
existing
article,
80
development
review
for
itself
and
its
operations,
and
will
eventually
lead
to
recommendations
that
align
it
more
closely
with
our
transformation
faults
next
slide,
the
community
engagement
reform
project
will
consist
of
six
primary
tasks
that
are
listed
on
the
slide
and
available
to
you
with
them.
X
X
Both
of
these
projects
will
be
supported
through
the
bpds
transformation
budget
and
since
we're
seeking
a
very
wide
range
of
specialized
officers.
This
approach
specifically
enables
us
to
provide
higher
ratings
to
Consultants,
who
have
not
only
relevant
qualifications
and
experience,
but
also
the
capacity
to
meet
our
needs
and
understand
our
goals
and
objectives
with
these
projects.
X
Next
slide
we're
very
excited
and
we're
going
to
start
working
with
mayor
who's,
newly
appointed
article
80
steering
committee,
who
will
be
advising
us
on
both
of
these
projects,
as
well
as
other
transformation
related
efforts
that
you
will
see
in
a
minute.
In
addition,
both
projects
will
be
informed
by
robust
stakeholder
engagement
with
internal
staff,
other
City
departments,
elected
officials
and
community
members
who
are
expected
to
be
impacted
by
the
changes
to
this
process
next
slide.
Y
K
I
have
a
series
of
comments
and
questions
which
I
probably
might
not
have
thought
of.
Were
this
not
called
reform,
as
opposed
to
modifications
or
improvements?
K
What
exactly
do
you
mean
and
when
you
talk
in
terms
of
streamlining
a
process,
I
wonder
exactly
what
that
means
for
the
stakeholders,
in
light
of
the
fact
that
the
current
process
involves
very
extensive
Community
engagement
and
input,
we
hold
hundreds
of
meetings
a
year
in
multiple
languages,
both
live
and
digitally
online,
and
over
the
past
several
years,
we've
produced
per
capita,
more
housing
than
I.
Think
any
other
city
in
the
country
has.
X
Thank
you
not
the
last
one.
Those
are
those
are
both
excellent
questions
and
the
types
of
questions
we've
we've
been
thinking
about
very
deeply
as
we
developed
a
couple
of
these
both
of
these
rfps
so
I
think
just
to
clarify
when
we
say
streamlined,
what
we
mean
is
not
necessarily
a
process
that
is
always
faster
or
shorter
right.
I
think
the
indent
here
is
to
one
modernize
the
code
because
it
was
established
in
1996
and
the
development
landscape
has
changed
significantly.
X
As
have
you
know,
business
practices
and
just
sort
of
how
we
run
our
processes.
So
one
of
our
goals
is
to
bring
the
code
really
into
the
21st
century,
along
with
that
integrate
all
of
the
different
policies
that
have
been
sort
of
layered,
on
top
of
the
code
into
the
base
code
itself,
to
give
them
sort
of
more
people
to
give
them
more
length,
so
to
speak.
X
So
the
intention
behind
sort
of
using
the
word
streamline
is
to
say
we
want
to
create
a
code
and
a
process
that
is
better
aligned
to
the
outcomes
we
want
to
achieve,
and
maybe
one
of
the
outcomes
of
that
is
that
it
is.
It
is
faster.
But
again
the
goal
is
very
much
to
align
to
the
outcomes
and
in
doing
so,
make
that
relationship
clear
to
all
different
stakeholders
involved.
X
To
say
that
this
is,
you
know
it's
a
question
that
is,
that
needs
to
be
studied
at
so
much
depth
that
we
would
like
to
give
it
the
time
and
attention
it
needs
and
to
hear
from
all
of
our
stakeholders
in
terms
of
how
we
can
improve
the
experience
for
them.
One
of
the
critiques
we
often
hear
from
members
in
the
community
is,
you
know
there
is
there's
just
too
many
meetings
and
it's
not
always
clear
to
them
the
connection
between
the
input
they
give
and
meetings
and
the
outcomes
of
the
actual
projects.
K
Well,
someone
I
I,
guess
I'm
a
little
unclear
in
what
we're
being
asked
to
vote
on
on
what
the
link
is
between
structural
change
and
actual
influence
over
the
design
and
development
process.
And
it
may
be
that
we
have
to
go
through
this
study
to
get
to
a
point
where
we
see
the
linkage
between
those
two.
K
But
as
it
stands,
it's
not
entirely
clear
as
to
how
having
fewer
meetings
is
going
to
increase
Community
input
into
the
structure
of
these
developments
and
there's
a
related
question,
which
is
that
there
are
already
a
number
of
studies
which
have
been
done
over
recent
years.
Emerging
from
the
city,
around
transportation
and
sustainability,
resilience,
housing
needs
and
the
very
good
studies
and
I
wonder
how
this
piece
of
work
is
going
to
fit
into
the
context
of
those
other
planning
analyzes
which
have
been
done.
Z
If
I
could
jump
in
for
a
second
for
the
record,
I'm
Devin
Quirk
deputy
chief
here
at
the
bpda-
and
thank
you
thank
you
for
these
questions.
These
questions
are
excellent
and
exactly
the
type
of
thing
that
our
staff
has
been
wrestling
with
and
nepor,
and
my
Christopher
and
I,
and
of
the
development
whose
staff
had
a
chance
to
gather
today
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
this
reform.
Z
Improvement
effort
and
all
that
we
were
very
talented
team
here
and
all
all
of
them
have
lots
of
great
ideas
about
how
the
process
could
be
improved,
and
this
is
one
mechanism
by
which
we
could
do
that.
I'm
sure
you
also
have
ideas
on
the
board
of
ideas
about
how
the
process
can
be
improved.
Our
development
stakeholders
and
our
community
stakeholders
also,
as
report
said
earlier,
I
think
you
can
hit
the
nail
on
the
head.
Z
We've
had
our
lady
now
we're
going
on
three
dating
decades.
In
Boston,
we
haven't
done
a
comprehensive
review
of
what
is
what
works
best
through
the
article
leaving
process
and
where
are
there
opportunities
for
streamlining
and
delivering
a
more
predictable
outcome
and
I?
Think
the
one
I
think
clear,
blue
line
here
is
predictability
for
all
stakeholders
involved
involved
and
there
are.
There
are
lots
of
times
with
the
process
works
incredibly
well
and,
as
you've
already
pointed
out,
yields
great
outcomes.
Z
The
executive
order
that
established
advisory
groups
is
now
almost
two
decades
old
as
well
and
I
mean
we've
been
talking
with
staff
and
outside
stakeholders
have
identified
that
it's
time
to.
AA
Z
Look
at
that
and
how
that
how
we
do
community
engagement,
inclusive,
more
representative
of
the
communities
we
work
with
and
might
and
we
might
get
feedback
that
is
more
instructive
to
moving
the
process
forward
expeditiously.
So
I,
don't
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
we
want
the
the
word
reform,
just
reform
to
somehow
indicate
that
the
process
is
broken,
because
we
really
do
intend
to
keep
an
articulating
process
going
through
this
board
as
the
mechanism
by
which
projects
are
approved
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Z
But
we
want
to
take
this
opportunity
and
make
this
investment,
as
you
mentioned,
to
go
to
go
through
a
study
with
some
significant
resources
to
identify
exactly
how
that
might
be
made
so
that
it.
That
would
be
the
the
tasks
of
the
of
the
of
the
Consulting
engagement
that
before
I
went
through.
Give
you
some
broad
indications
of
where
we
want
want
to
improve
and
that's
everything
from
our
internal
management
and
our
Sops
to
the
in
the
community
at
engagement
that
we're
doing
and
everything
in
between.
But
it
is
not
it.
K
Well,
I
would
just
know-
and
we're
not
here,
to
debate
this,
but
I
would
just
note
that
predictability
and
Expediting
a
process
are
terms
that
generally
favor
developers,
and
not
necessarily
the
community,
which
also
has
a
stake
in
the
outcomes
of
those
developments
and
I,
would
hope
that
whoever
the
Consultants
are,
who
are
coming
to
do.
This
work
understand
that
Community
input
has,
to
a
large
extent,
made
for
much
better
projects.
K
Communities
don't
always
get
what
they
want,
and
inevitably
they're
going
to
be
some
Advocates
who
who
say
that
the
fact
that
they
didn't
get
what
they
want
is
indicative
of
of
the
failure
of
the
process
and
I
just
hope
that
the
Consultants
who
are
selected
to
do
this
work
are
cognizant
of
the
efficacy
and
empowerment
that
exists
within
our
communities
in
terms
of
reshaping
developments
and
the
mitigation
and
the
kinds
of
community
benefits
packages
that
have
been
negotiated,
which
don't
come
out
of
a
predictable
template.
K
Z
Z
Are
the
article
80
code,
in
which
case
those
changes
we
need
to
be
voted
on
by
you
and
then
approved
by
the
zoning
commission
and
those
would,
as
is
like
the
linkage
changes
we
proposed
to
you
earlier
today.
Those
are
generally
not
would
only
impact
projects
filing
after
the
date
of
that
of
those
approvals.
Z
Other
improvements
might
be
around
how
we
staff
projects
internally
and
and
how
we
reach
the
community
members
in
the
in
the
right,
culturally,
authentic
ways
and
hear
back
from
them
in
a
way
in
in
matters
that
will
actually
help
us
improve
the
project.
Once
we
have
those
ideas,
we
should
immediately
Implement
them,
and
every
project
going
through
the
process
should
take
advantage
of
those
improvements.
So
it
does
depend
on
the
on
the
specific
Improvement
we're
making
where
the
and
when
the
impact
will
be
felt.
X
And
I
just
want
to
say
to
the
doctor
last,
but
I
really
appreciate
your
your
comments
related
to
sort
of
what
the
consultant
selected
consultant
team
should
keep
in
mind.
We
will
make
sure
that
what
we
do
have
a
preferred
consultant
in
the
coming
months
to
outline
that
specific
approach
to
you
as
we
bring
them
to
the
board
for
recommendation.
A
Yeah
and
I
think
with
with
that
look,
there's.
A
But
let's
start
with
the
Consultants
and
the
selection
of
the
Consultants,
I
guess
I'll
just
say
that
you
know:
we've
we've
raised
the
bar
for
for
Developers
and
how
they
come
and
approach
approach,
our
city
and
and
in
collaboration
right
with
with
subcontractors
and
so
I.
I
know
in
the
presentation
that
you,
you
know,
use
consultants
and
subconsultants
I,
find
it
really
hard
to
I,
find
it
curious
if
it
wasn't
all
like.
You
know,
and
I
come
from
a
big
Consulting
background
right.
A
So
that's
so
I
I
get
that
but
I
think
to
Mr
Dr
Lander
Mark's
point
right.
This
is
this
is
a
very
a
very
localized
and
nuanced
process
and
and
so
I
think
with
that
there
should
be
mobile
representation
and
I.
Think
if
we're
gonna
kind
of
also,
you
know
be
about
what
we
they
were
about
right.
A
We
want
there
to
be,
you
know,
Equitable
wealth,
and
you
know
that
is
that
that
comes
from
the
dollars
that
this
agency
spends
at
the
city
spends
so
yeah
and
then
I
think
you
know.
The
second
is
that
look
I,
think
I
think
words
matter
and
and.
A
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
debate
that
we
want.
We
want
something
you
know
different
and
fair
and
we're
moving
towards
that.
You
know
that's
where
everybody's
moving
towards
right,
but
also
you
know
words
matter
and
and
I
think
it's
it's
it's
something
to
be
taken
into
consideration
right.
We
we
have.
We
do
a
lot
of,
we
have
approved
Consulting
and
studies,
and
things
like
that
and
and
those
have
made
a
difference
but
I
think
we
we
want
to
be.
A
You
know,
conscious
and
and
sensitive
to
from
from
the
perspective
of
work
and
how
those
can
can
land
and
impact
on
different
folks,
so
yeah.
This
is
the
quite
the
undertaking.
I
am
very
excited
for
the
team
and
for
the
staff
to
you
know.
I
think
this
is
the
right.
This
is
the
right
team.
A
You
know
to
to
find
the
right
Consultants
right
to
to
bring
together
all
the
the
minds
and
and
see
what
we
can
do
to
to
get
to
get
the
outcomes.
I
think
that
that
all
of
our
residents
deserve
there.
So.
Z
Absolutely
intend
to
prioritize
local
expertise
and
that's
how
we
select
these
consultants
for
exactly
those
reasons
and
I
think
one
thing
I
would
just
expound
upon
is
so
much
of
this
team's
effort,
and
this
board's
effort
is
about
building
trust
with
our
communities
and
all
the
stakeholders
that
work
with
us.
And
that
is
what
this.
AB
You
talk
about
is
a
lot
of
the
studies
that
have
been
done
on
some
of
the
larger
scale,
initiatives
that
the
city
has
undertaken.
I.
AB
Some
of
that
energy
spent
on
kind
of
our
inner
workings
as
a
as
a
group,
so
we
really
are
excited
to
kind
of
get
behind
this
initiative.
AB
And
really
get
to
learn,
so
you
know
thank
you.
Yeah.
X
And
I
would
add
again
just
my
father
clarify
and
speak
to
Dr
lamma's
question,
specifically
we're
not
intending
for
any
of
these
sort
of
larger
policy
moves
that
have
been
made
out
of
city-wide
level
to
be
impacted
by
this
process
or
these
projects.
It's
very
much
meant
to
be
sort
of
a
process
Improvement
of
how
articulating
Works
and
you
know
any
recommendations
or
policies
that
are
implemented
by
the
experts
of
the
building,
as
it
relates
to
the
work
that
we
review
will
not
be
inflicted
as
a
result
of
that
change.
H
H
No
doubt
and
certainly
streamlined
what
they
look
for
what
everybody
looks
for.
So
what?
What
is
it
that
that
person
wants
to
hear
about
this?
What's
going
to
change,
what
will
change.
Z
Think,
for
example,
we're
we
need
stronger
management
tools
as
an
internal
to
our
staff
around
the
performance
metrics
for
how
long
it
takes
to
move
a
project
through
the
process.
What's
an
outlier?
What's
what's
what's
taking
too
long,
where,
where
has
something
been
stuck
at
a
particular
stage
that
needs
extra
investment?
There's
you
know,
I've
been
I,
think
significant
reporting
on
previous
short
staffing
in
our
in
our
agency.
Z
We
ultimately
need
to
make
sure
that
we
that
we
do
a
a
fantastic
job
serving
our
communities
in
in
and
delivering
quality
development
for
Boston's
residents.
We
are
there
if
we
can
do
that,
while
making
the
process
faster
and
having
new
members
have
to
attend
less
meetings
along
the
way
to
actually
help
just
bite
for
what
they
I
think
needs
to
occur,
and
instead
just
beaks
that
into
the
process
that
serves
everyone,
and
it
certainly
serves
a
development
community.
R
Permission
board
member
Monahan,
Arthur
Jamison
director
just
wanted
to
offer
one
other
very
quick
example:
I
think
if
we
were
able
to
say
to
developers,
there's
a
per
square
foot
allocation
for
mitigation
or
a
project
of
a
specific
size,
and
then
the
objective
of
the
meeting
with
citizens,
whether
it's
an
ihe
meeting
or
other
ones,
going
to
allocate
it
to
one
to
two
to
three
different,
specific
pre-identified
categories
that
would
make
both
the
wife
or
the
developer
and
citizens
a
lot
simpler.
R
I
think
we
can
do
that
in
a
way
that
hopefully
makes
it
easier
for
you,
for
both
parties
arrive
at
a
solution
recognizing
every
neighborhood's
different.
There
are
certainly
two
to
three
categories
that
most
citizens
groups
and
most
developers
could
agree.
It
would
be
great
for
medication
to
go
to
where
there's
a
common
interest.
So
that's
a
hopefully
a
simple
example
per
square
foot
mitigation
I'm
out.
H
Good-
and
this
isn't
a
question
so
I
guess
if
you,
if
you're
going
to
be
doing
X,
Y
and
Z
you're,
going
to
get
maybe
preferential
treatment
on
how
quick
we're
going
to
work
your
project
process
and
there's
no
reason
to
have
10
meetings
to
have
everybody
be
opposed
to
that?
We
can
do
that
in
five
right.
You
don't
have
to
tell
me
ten
times
that
you
don't
like
the
project.
You
can
do
that
in
five
you're,
probably
gonna.
Do
it
too
and
I
think
that's
going
to
be
looked
at.
So
that's
not
a
question.
K
K
The
nature
of
the
development
teams
are
different
and,
and
the
expectations
historically
and
in
terms
of
cultural
sensitivity
are
different
and
I.
Just
hope
that
that
recognition
of
the
specificity
of
neighborhood
input
is
recognized
by
these
Consultants
as
they
develop
their
recommendations,
which
it
sounds
as
though
will
include
fewer
Community
meetings
and,
as
you
say,
more
predictability,
but
let's
see
what
they
come
up
with.
X
Yes
and
and
I
think
about
the
last
one,
just
to
kind
of
you
know,
put
a
shop
point
on
that
note.
Our
our
goal
with
the
mitigation
task
is
to
have
the
consultant
identify
for
us.
What
a
standardized
framework
could
be
not
necessarily
one
single
dollar
amount.
That
now
applies
to
every
project.
That
kind
of
washes
over
these
nuances,
so
you
know
I'm,
just
kind
of
throwing
it
out
there
off
the
top
of
my
head.
X
What
it
could
look
like
is
maybe
something
an
approach
that
kind
of
you
know
looks
at
a
multiplier
based
on
all
these
variables
that
you
listed
based
on
Project
size,
based
on
where
it's
located
based
on
product
priorities
based
on
you
know
the
ieg
and
the
community's
priorities,
and
it
kind
of
gives
the
goal
is
for
it
to
give
us
some
guard
rails
around
these
negotiations
and
not
to
replace
the
so
hopefully,
with
these
Guardians
who
are
coming
into
the
conversation,
starting
from
a
same
place
as
opposed
to
having
to
reinvent
the
wheel
every
single
time
with
every
project.
O
I'd
just
like
to
add
that
I'll
just
follow
up
on
some
of
my
other
board
members
well
laid
out
comments
is
I,
understand,
we're
looking
to
simplify
and
standardize
the
process,
but
as
Dr
landsmark
talked
about
each
of
these
can
be
so
different.
We've
seen
some
very
controversial
projects.
O
It
may
be
what
adding
a
great
number
of
jobs
or
more
affordable
housing
or
something
so
there's
a
lot
of
nuances
in
each
of
these
issues
and
sometimes
trying
to
simplify
you
can
standardize
the
process.
We
do
lose
that
so
it's
a
point.
That's
been
made
by
a
fellow
board
members,
but
I
just
like
to
stress
that.
Thank
you.
A
I
Just
to
stress
your
comment,
Mr
Miller,
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we're
really
excited
about
with
this
process
is
that
this
is
meant
to
work
in
tandem
with
our
rezoning
efforts
and
really
looking
at
comprehensive
planning
that
is,
or
you
know
in
in
terms
of
the
article
80
process
and
a
lot
of
the
commuting.
Conversations
are
really
key
part
of
that
predictability
piece,
and
we
hope
that
you
know
we
just
had
Amy
Chambers
to
join
us
as
a
planning
director
and
under
the
leadership
of
Arthur.
I
We
we
will
be
sort
of
guiding
this
look
at
sort
of
the
operational
nature
of
article
80,
in
unison,
with
really
the
Crux
of
predictability,
which
is
our
zoning
and
bringing
that
to
the
standards
of
our
needs
and
our
city.
Today,.
A
Great
addition,
Edition
Diana
I've
been
talking
about
we're
going,
you
know
we're
building
some
Frameworks
and
then
we
also
recognize
that
that
zoning
is
a
is
a
topic
that
you
know
also.
We
need
students
simultaneously
addressed
through
all
of
this,
so
any
additional
questions
comments.
A
Classes,
we're
going
to
take
item
number
13
as
well.
This
that
was
the
same
presentation,
correct
right.
AD
Thank
you
and
good
afternoon
Madam
chair
members
of
board
and
I'm
secretary
and
director
Jemison.
My
name
is
Lydia
Housley
and
I
am
a
senior
Transportation
planner
in
the
bpa's
transportation
infrastructure
planning,
department
and
I'm
here
today
to
request
authorization
for
the
secretary
to
advertise
and
issue
a
request
for
proposals
to
engage
up
to
five
consultants
for
on-call
Transportation,
Planning
analysis
and
Design
Services.
AD
We're
coming
to
you
today
with
this
request
in
the
context
of
increased
development
pressure
in
certain
parts
of
the
city
and
in
order
to
ensure
that
development
is
led
by
planning.
There
is
a
need
to
augment
Transportation,
Planning
analysis
and
design
work
to
ensure
development
is
aligned
with
and
informed
by
the
city's,
broader
Transportation
goals.
To
this
end,
the
transportation
division
seeks
to
supplement
our
in-house
expertise
through
consultant
augmentation
within
four
service
categories:
Transportation
Planning,
Services,
operational
analysis
and
peer
review
policy,
development
and
evaluation,
and
fourthly,
concept,
design
development
and
peer
review.
AD
The
goal
with
this
is
to
put
into
place
up
to
five
contracts
with
a
diverse
group
of
Transportation
Consultants
that
will
allow
our
team
to
access
specialized
Services
as
needed
to
respond
to
known
anticipated
and
yet
unknown.
Transportation
Planning
need
that
costs.
A
range
of
Scopes
scales
and
geographies
Consultants
selected
for
these
on-call
Services
would
then
either
be
assigned
or
asked
to
bid
on
individual
and
fully
scoped
work
orders
prior
to
any
work.
Commencing.
AD
Establishing
multiple
contracts
that
operate
on
an
alcohol
needed
basis
will
give
our
staffs
the
flexibility
needed
to
meet
varied
needs,
type
project
deadlines
and
ensure
the
consultant
pool,
avoids
any
conflicts
of
interest,
and
the
issues
of
these
contracts
does
not
obligate
for
epda
to
expend
funds.
Nor
does
it
entitle
any
of
the
selected
Consultants
to
any
specific
fee.
In
total,
it's
expected
that
no
more
than
700
000
would
be
extended
through
these
contracts,
which
would
be
funded
through
the
operating
budget.
AD
AD
The
idea
is
that
a
our
team
would
identify
a
need
either
because
of
a
development,
professional
or
sometimes
type
of
proactive
planning
need
that
are
that's
identified
and
we
would
fully
scope
a
a
work
order
that
would
then
either
be
assigned
based
on
our
staff
judgment
or
bid
out
through
a
competitive
process
to
the
consultant
pool.
So
for
each
individual
scoped
item
there
would
be
a
work
order
and
that
would
have
to
be
initiated
before
any
any
work
could
commence
and
in
terms
of
coordination.
AD
I
think
that
we
would,
depending
on
exactly
what
the
scope
for
each
item
is.
It
would
be
in
coordination
with
our
colleagues
in
neighborhood
planning
and
Urban
Design,
and
with
my
colleagues
in
transportation.
Planning
based
on
neighborhood
assignments
did
I
answer
your
question.
A
Yeah
I
think
this
is
going
to
be.
This
will
be
interesting,
I'm,
not
sure
if
we've
done
the
on-call
contracts
with
this
type
of
these
type
of
services
before
I'm
familiar
more
on
the
kind
of
Maintenance
side
that
you
know,
Laura
tends
to
come,
and
you
know
those
so
so
it
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
how
this
all,
how
this
all
works
out,
but
cool

other

Wanted
to

I

that

into

Q
Good
evening,
chair
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Jerry
Cortes
and
I'm.
The
neighborhood
planner,
covering
Roxbury.
The
proposed
project
is
located
within
the
planning
boundaries
of
the
Roxbury
strategic
master
plan.
A
planning
process
established
in
2004..
The
rsmp
is
a
strategic
framework
to
guide
change
and
economic
growth
in
Roxbury.
The
proposed
project
makes
significant
contributions
towards
the
realization
of
the
rsmp's
goals
by
providing
a
wide
range
of
housing
opportunities
by
implementing
Innovative
Housing
Solutions,
such
as
the
compact
living
pilot
program.
Q
Promoting
a
sustainable
and
diverse
economy
focused
on
local
wealth,
achieved
through
a
commitment
to
award
contracts
to
minority
women
and
local
residents
and
having
owner-occupied
building
creating
an
architectural
design
responsive
to
the
community
context
achieved
through
collaboration
with
the
Highland
Park
architectural
Conservation,
District
Attorney
commission.
These
are
all
consistent
with
the
rsmp's
goals
and
recommendations.
I
will
now
turn
the
presentation
over
to
the
proponent
team
to
present
the
project
in
more
detail.
Thank
you.
Q
S
I
believe
Scott
Webster,
who
should
be
joining
the
call,
have
are
having
some
technical
issues.
So
I
will
just
continue
the
presentation.
My
name
is
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
I'm.
The
fellow
manager
of
this
project
on
balam
Alma
street
I'm,
representing
a
family
who
is
the
owner
of
the
current
building.
They
are
African-American
family
who
lived
in
this
community
for
over
30
years.
S
I've
been
currently
reside
in
that
three-story
building,
and
then
we
also
manage
to
read
those
space
on
the
ground
before
we
have
written
a
commitment
from
the
healthy
neighborhood
Equity
Funds,
which
consists
of
two
mission-driven
entities,
one
called
Mass
housing
Investment
corporation
and
that
and
also
the
conservation
law
Foundation.
We
have
went
through
an
extensive
Community
engagement
process
and
we
and
I
am
happy
to
present
that
to
you
today.
S
Next,
please,
so
the
site
is
located
in
Australia
in
a
strategic
location
within
within
less
than
five
minutes
from
the
Roxbury
Crossing
Orange
Line
peace
station.
Next,
please.
S
The
current
building
as
mentioned
is
a
three-story
senior
family
home
which
the
current
owner
resides
and
who,
who
will
continue
to
reside
in
the
in
the
new
development
project.
As
a
property
management
manager,
there
is
Corner
retail
retail
space
that
we
that
we'll
be
containing
in
the
new
proposal
as
well.
Next
next
stage,
the
side
is
in
a
very
strategic
area,
rightly
I'm
inside
the
too
high
to
White
streets
on
famous
streets
and
Mass
Street
28..
It
is
stuck
behind
the
Roxbury,
Community
College
and
also
behind
the
Islamic
savior
of
Boston
Cultural
Center.
S
Next,
please,
as
you
can
see
from
this
photo,
the
sights
is
surrounded
by
large
large
Open
Spaces
like
speeds,
one
being
the
open
space
of
the
Roxbury
Community
College
and
then
the
other
being
the
large
parking
space
of
mosque.
Next,
please
there's
also
one
language
open
at
Plaza
for
that's
used
for
the
roster
Community
College
right
in
front
of
the
sites,
which
we
believe
is
that
provides
a
strategic
opportunity
and
a
location
for
higher
density.
S
Next,
please
the
sidewalk
case
also
on
the
bottom
of
the
port
Hill,
where
you
can
see
the
same
where
we
think
it
could
be
a
beneficial
area
for
a
large
capacity
of
same
successfully
building
is
on
the
top
of
the
hill.
That's
called
The
Market,
Street
Gardens.
You
can
see
this.
You
can
see
the
height
difference,
although
they
are
the
same
height.
The
difference
is
about
30
feet,
so
topographic,
wise
topography,
wise.
We
believe
we're
we're
on
a
good
place
for
that
could
have
that
can
host
a
Target
building.
Next,
please.
S
This
summarizes
the
context
of
the
area.
So,
as
you
can
see,
there
are
buildings
that
the
highest
from
80
to
60
to
80
milligrams,
always
130
feet.
We
are
proposing
a
69
feet,
seven
story
building
to
give
you
even
more
context
at
the
top
of
the
hills
that
are
still
building.
S
If
you
count
the
topography
Heights,
it
is
about
105
feet
and
also
if
we
compare
the
height
one
of
the
compare
with
the
close,
closer
five-story
buildings,
the
one
on
top
of
the
Gardner
streets,
which
it
is
a
five-story
building
at
probably
50
feet,
the
actual
height
of
that
is
about
85.
So
actually
we
will
leave
our
the
large
events
that
we're
requesting
in
case
well
on
the
site.
S
S
We
will
be
keeping
the
commercial
quarter
units
so
that
the
neighbors
can
also
enjoy,
but
continue
to
enjoy
the
cafe,
and
on
top
of
that,
we
are
proposing
and
providing
additional
tenant
and
many
of
the
space,
including
a
bike,
storage,
co-working,
space,
gym
and
electric
flexible
rooms,
as
well
as
a
roof
deck
for
the
community
benefits
package.
We
are
proposing
an
increased
affordability,
adding
two
more
ibp
units
that
requires
the
a
minor
in
2.700.
S
The
public
room.
Improvement
is
one
of
the
proposals.
We
will
be
enlarging
the
sidewalk
space,
adding
more
landscape
area
and
more
trees,
as
well
as
by
parking
space.
We
are
as
a
firm.
We
are
committed
to
sustainability,
sustainability
goals
of
the
city.
This
building
will
be
followed
by
the
passive
art
design
guidelines,
and
then
we
are
also
planning
to
use
Innovative
materials
as
cross-lemenary
Timber
as
the
primary
structure
of
the
building.
In
addition,
we
be
giving
a
little
Bike
by
contributions,
as
well
as
direct
contributions
to
the
communities.
S
We
acknowledge
that
currently,
the
sidewalk
has
been
improved,
but
there
were
some
new
accessible
Brands.
That's
that
has
been
implemented
in
the
in
the
in
the
intersections.
However,
next
slide
please.
S
We
believe
this
can
be
further
improved
by
actually
adding
landscape
and
seating
areas
of
the
line
that
bumps
out
onto
the
bottom
right
corner
are
the
parts
of
the
area
that
we
are
planning
to
expand
and
that
has
been
very
well
received
by
the
community.
If
you
see
the
ground
floor
plan,
if
you
believe
it
works
very
well
with
the
positioning
of
the
cafe
and
having
a
lot
and
having
the
double
height
space
in
the
lobby,
that
will
bring
daylight
to
the
basement
speaks
as
well.
S
Next,
please,
these
are
the
elevation
drawings
and
you
can
see
that
it
has
some
regular
distributions
of
units
and
the
next
piece.
S
More
importantly,
these
are
the
key
views
of
the
building.
One
of
the
left
shows
shows
the
building
from
the
plaza
of
the
Community
College
on
the
on
the
top
right
shows
the
building
from
the
Roxbury
Street
side
on
the
bottom
left
side.
It
is
a
elevation
view
of
the
Belmont
Street
side
and
at
the
bottom
right
corner,
shows
the
view
from
the
Garden
Street
side.
With
that
I
would
like
to
conclude
the
presentation.
There
is
a
last
slide
that
summarizes
the
proposal
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
K
The
first
thing
that
occurs
to
me
is
that
this
could
easily
become
a
dormitory
space
for
Oxford,
Community
College,
which
would
be
very
beneficial
to
the
college,
but
I
wonder
if
any
provisions
are
being
put
in
place
to
kind
of
assure
that
the
other
residents
in
this
neighborhood
are
not
negatively
affected.
Should
this
essentially
become
a
dormitory
space
that
helps
to
stabilize
rcc's
enrollment
goals.
S
On
what,
when
that
could
be,
definitely
part
of
the
use?
We
are
targeting
young
professionals
and
families
who
are
looking
to
downsize
in
their
units
and
empty
nesters.
S
We
believe
the
mixed
up
amenities
that
we're
composing
in
this
building
will
have
successfully
facilitate
all
different
type
of
uses,
not
just
for
the
not
just
use
as
a
dormitory
space,
because
indeed
that
was
part
of
the
issues
or
concerns
that
was
raised
by
the
community,
that
if
this
building
is
used
fully
for
students,
there
were
some
concerns
about
loud
noises.
S
A
Okay,
additional
questions
or
comments.
I
do
want
to
do.
You
want
to
recognize
that
that,
while
this
isn't
a
public
hearing,
we
have
received
the
the
comment
and
letters
and
different
emails
that
have
been
sent
throughout
throughout
today
and
the
past
few
days
as
well
and
listen
to
it.
Can
consideration
and
informed
our
our
life
question
in
here,
so
additional
questions
or
comments
from
the
board
hearing
and
seeing
non-emotionist
in
order
so.

Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
The
proposal
for
you
is
an
order
of
taking
and
public
Improvement
commission
petition
for
5.95
Albany
Street
project.
The
proposed
project
requires
a
discontinuance
of
air
rights
in
the
public
way
above
Albany
Street
and
East
Canton
Street
for
projection
Bays
on
Floors
two
through
six
in
connection
with
the
development
project
covering
a
total
vertical
area
of
255
square
feet.
Above
Albany
Street
in
East
Canton
Street,
the
taking
area
was
reviewed
by
bpda
design
review
staff.
AF
AF
The
proponent
submitted
a
application
for
a
demonstration
project
plan
attached,
as
exhibit
a
known,
as
has
determined
that
the
need
to
obtain
title
took
portions
of
the
taking
and
discontinion
this
continuance
area
in
connection
with
the
proposed
project
to
construct
a
new
modern
building,
exterior
that
is
properly
insulated
and
detailed
to
meet
Today's
Energy
codes
and
to
improve
the
overall
appearance
of
the
existing
building
by
including
Bays
that
will
start
on
the
second
floor.
Next
extend
through
the
sixth
floor,
thereby
halting
any
deterioration
in
the
physical
condition
of
the
surrounding
areas
of
preventing
Urban
blight.
AF
The
existing
building
at
the
property
is
located
on
the
existing
property
boundaries,
thereby
making
it
impossible
to
construct
the
proposed
Bays
without
requested
discontinuance
and
taking
the
proposed
project
error
requires
that
the
proponent
acquire
title
to
the
taking
and
discontinuance
area,
which
is
shown
on
the
plan
attached,
as
exhibit
B.
The
proposed
project
also
requires
that
the
proponent
and
the
bpda
co-petition
the
city
of
Boston's
public
Improvement
commission
to
discontinue
such
takings
and
discontinuance
areas.
AF
A
A
Secretary
Paul,
he
missed.
Do
we
take
another
one,
or
do
we
want
to
take
a
quick
break
before
the
public
hearings?
No.

Good
evening,
chair,
Rojas
secretary
paulinus,
members
of
the
board
and
director
jemisin,
my
name
is
Caitlin
Carpenter
senior,
project
manager
and
development
review.
The
project
that
I
bring
before
you
for
consideration
tonight
is
the
1035
Commonwealth
app
project
in
the
also
Brighton
neighborhood.
The
proponent
is
proposing
a
construction
of
a
new
six-story
building
with
the
ground
floor,
retail
and
flag
poles
to
residential
units.
The
proponent
is
committing
to
a
16.5
IDP
contribution,
which
is
9
out
of
the
55
proposed
units.
AH
The
unit
mix
consists
of
five
five:
three
bedroom
units,
15
two
bedroom
units,
21
bedroom
units
and
15
Studio
units.
There
are
zero
parking
spaces
proposed
in
55
bicycle
storage
spaces.
The
proponent
is
also
proposing
to
keep
the
first
four
facade
I'm
happy
to
turn
it
over
to
the
planning
team
to
further
dive
into
their
plan
of
context.
Q
Thank
you
good
evening,
chair
and
members
of
board,
and
my
name
is
Yari
Cortes
and
I
am
the
neighborhood
planner
for
Austin
and
Brighton.
The
proposed
project
is
located
within
the
Austin
Brighton
Mobility
study
plan
adopted
in
2022,
which
focuses
on
increasing
Mobility
for
all
awesome
brain
residents.
Planning
staff
also
reference
the
surrounding
context,
such
as
the
proposed
Project's
proximity
to
Commercial
and
mixed-use
developments.
Q
Given
the
exceptional
Transit
access
of
the
site
and
its
location
in
a
mixed
use,
Corridor
near
Boston
University.
The
project
includes
zero
parking
spaces.
This
will
have
positive
impacts
on
the
overall
walkability
of
the
area
and
encourage
multimodal
Mobility,
as
described
in
the
Austin
Brighton
Mobility
study.
I
will
now
hand
it
over
to
the
proponent
team.
AI
Good
evening
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
director
Jemison
and
secretary
blamus,
I'm
Attorney,
John,
paulgini
and
I'm.
The
attorney
representing
the
developer
on
1035
Commonwealth
Avenue
egi
homes
with
me
this
afternoon
is
William
Lee
of
Monty
French
Architects,
many
of
you
familiar
with
this
site.
AI
It's
a
formal
location
of
Boston,
City,
Sports
I
think
we
all
remember
the
t-shirts,
but
we
may
not
remember
the
store
closed
in
2015
as
part
of
a
Company
bankruptcy
and
has
been
vacant
ever
since,
as
Caitlyn
said,
the
proposals
will
provide
55
residential
units
over
five
floors.
In
the
first
floor,
with
3
500
square
feet
of
first
floor
retail.
AI
Additionally
as
well,
we
have
the
sites
on
the
green
line
back
Babcock
trolley
line
and
as
such
we
will
not
have
any
on
on-site
parking,
Power
Defense
residents
to
make
use
of
the
public
transportation
opportunities.
Again
it
is
seven
approximately
17
affordability,
all
of
which
will
be
at
70
Ami.
At
this
point,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
will
Lee
from
Monty
French
Architects
to
walk
you
through
the
design.
But
thank
you
for
having
us
here
on
the
seat.
AJ
Thank
you
John
Madam
chairwoman
and
the
board
members.
This
view
you
see
here
is
looking
to
the
northwest
of
the
site.
There's
an
existing
facade
that
is
in
disrepair
pretty
well
concealed
by
you
know
the
the
plywood
and
the
graffiti.
That's
covering
it
now
our
goal
in
architecturally.
Our
goal
is
to
reinvigorate
that
facade
and
and
point
to
the
historic
commercial
uses
on
this
Avenue,
while
giving
a
more
contemporary
and
restrained
backdrop
to
that
existing
facade
next
slide.
AJ
This
has
already
been
shown,
but
the
the
site
is
located
right
in
the
heart
of
bu's
Campus
near
Packard's
corner
next
slide.
This
is
the
current
condition
of
the
site.
The
existing
Limestone
masonry
facade
is
infilled
with
Ford
and
batten
and
some
store
Front.
That's
in
disrepair,
there's
an
additional
cornice,
that's
been
added
onto
it.
That
is
not
doing
any
favors
here,
so
our
hope
would
be
to
to
revive
that
existing
masonry
and
bring
it
to
to
a
new
life.
Next
slide.
AJ
This
is
an
architectural
site
plan.
Looking
at
the
I'm
sorry,
this
is
an
architectural
site
plan.
Looking
at
the
proposed
project
in
its
context,
it's
an
infill
lot,
so
zero
lot
line
on
either
side
and
then,
as
you,
move
up
the
building,
the
facade
actually
steps
in
to
provide
light
and
air
opportunities
along
the
left
and
right
Flex
of
the
building
next
slide
along
the
Commonwealth
Ave
Frontage.
There
are
recently
implemented
site
improvements
that
we
would
be
maintaining,
as
well
as
adding
additional
visitor
and
guest
like
art
and
spaces.
AJ
Here's
the
that
front
image
again
next
slide.
So
looking
at
the
front
elevation,
you
can
see
existing
openings
in
the
masonry
facade,
provide
an
opportunity
to
peek
through
and
see
the
backdrop
of
the
proposed
building
behind
it.
Our
goal
here
is
to
provide
a
restrained
and
complementary
architectural
backdrop
to
highlight
and
celebrate
the
existing
masonry
of
this,
this
old
commercial
storefront
next
slide.
AJ
AJ
A
Great
thank
you,
questions
or
comments
report
which,
let's
say
I,
really
like
the
how
your
you
know:
honoring
that
Limestone
masonry
and
giving
that
new
life
and
yeah
I
really
like
that.
Okay.
So
if
there's
no
questions,
motion
is
an
order.
Don't.
A
A
A

look
at
the
lower
left
picture
right
here.
I
think
which
is
really
one
of
the
most
jarring
images
of
people
walking
up
the
street.
AO
All
MBTA
stationed
at
Boston
Landing,
it's
it's
very
tight.
The
building
was
built
right
up
against
our
property
line,
so
we
have
from
the
beginning,
seen
the
opportunity
here
active
Improvement.
This
is
very
significant.
The
building
there
that
sits
there
today
took
up
the
entire
site
and
the
site
being
over
five
acres.
AO
There
was
a
lot
that
could
be
done
here
and
some
of
you
may
know
there
was
there
were
10
attempts
in
the
past
35
years
doing
something
here
and
we're
very
excited
about
what
our
team
has
come
up
with
and
is
proposing
to
you
this
evening.
Next
slide,
please,
you
can
see
here
the
the
real
sort
of
transformation
and
I'd
like
to
just
briefly
over
go
go
over
the
program.
AO
We
have
here
visibly,
you
can
see
three
different
buildings,
but
it's
of
course,
so
much
more
than
that
building
a
is
a
proposed
252.,
our
new
building
for
rent
that
will
include
45
IDP
units,
as
well
as
included
in
that
45-10
artist,
work,
units,
buildings,
B
and
C
are
life,
science,
r
d
and
Office
Buildings,
but
all
around
them
is
over
two
acres
of
open
space
and
we'll
get
into
that
a
little
bit
later,
but
I
think
as
we
look
at
this
aerial.
AO
I
would
also
just
add
that
this
is
a
true
mixed-use
development
and
it
has
been
from
the
beginning,
which
is
which
control
these
days,
I
think
as
well
as
a
true
top
site
with,
as
we've
heard
before,
from
Kathleen
and
others,
that
the
train
is
a
mere
steps
from
from
this
housing
of
its
commercial
space.
AO
AO
Really.
There
is
no
backdoor
to
this
project
on
every
side
on
every
street.
We
have
tried
and
I
think
we've
been
very
successful
at
welcoming
in
public
and
the
users
of
this
property,
and
you
can
see
really
four
main
entry
points,
but
there's
there's
more
than
that
when
you
consider
entering
buildings
and
some
of
the
art
space
that
we
design
Ed
I
already
mentioned
the
two
acres
of
open
space.
AO
It's
a
little
bit
more
visible
on
this
slide
and
what
you
do
not
see
here
is
the
parking,
no
parking
visible
at
a
considerable
expense
in
engineering.
We
have
located
all
the
parking
under
property
which.
AC
AO
Us
to
unlock
that
open
space
and
also
sort
of
not
too
minor,
but
where
it
allows
us
to
plant
over
100.
AO
If
we
go
to
the
excitement
kind
of
continuing
on
that
open
space
and
connectivity,
we
don't
have
to
linger
here
too
long.
The
lower
left
image
is
something
you
could
look
at
for
hours,
but
it
really
helps
illustrate
that
connectivity
and
how
we
hope
and
expect
the
public
in
the
future
to
to
interact
with
the
site
and
enter
and
exit
at
different
locations.
But
the
larger
image
here
shows
the
linear
part
that
I
think
Kathleen
mentioned
as
well.
AO
That
is
an
accessible
connection
from
up
and
down
from
Everett
Street,
which
is
a
highly
used
pedestrian
or
bridge
over
to
the
different
parts
of
Austin
Brighton.
But
today,
there's
really
no
connection
down
to
link
history
or
to
the
community,
as
well
as
the
vpa
sort
of
finding
a
future
of
this
this
area.
So
we're
really
excited
to
be
able
to
introduce
this
linear
part
into
our
program
and
I.
Think
it's
going
to
benefit
the
neighborhood
and
as
well
project
itself.
Next
slide.
Please.
AO
The
other
piece
of
the
project-
that's
that's,
really
exciting
to
us,
and
that
has
been
a
little
bit
more
public
in
recent
months.
It's
our
partnership
with
artists,
Asylum
Artisans
Asylum,
recently
moved
into
an
open
space
over
52
000
square
feet
of
the
major
space
in
two
different
buildings
any
site,
but
part
of
our
partnership
with
that
nonprofit
is
creating
space
for
them
within
our
development.
AO
We
have
already
made
an
agreement
with
Artisans
to
take
over
eight
to
ten
thousand
square
feet
of
retail
space
on
our
ground
floor
in
two
different
buildings
at
below
Market
lowercase,
affordable
rents,
to
help
expand
their
programming
and
sort
of
create
a
campus
for
them
in
this
area
of
the
city,
which
has
traditionally
seen
a
lot
of
industrial
uses,
guys
who
are
doing
extraordinarily,
exciting
things
that
we
don't
have
enough
time
to
talk
about
today,
but
they're
going
to
be
integrated
in
this,
and
if
you
can
see
in
the
lower
right,
we
have
some
renderings
we're
showing
somewhere
some
of
their
space
will
be
and
how
it
will
be
a
really
meaningful
part
of
this
of
elements
that
may
have
approved
next
slide.
AO
AO
Movements
element-
this
is
a
somewhat
rudimentary
aerial
view,
but
I
think
it
really
illustrates
the
improvements
that
we
hope
to
make
as
part
of
this
development.
The
green
line,
the
green
lines
really
show
the
biggest
impacts
on
the
left
side
is
Telford
Street.
Where
today
is
it's
sort
of
a
dirt
back
alley?
Semi-Flooded
access
road
is
really
at
some
points.
He
sees
only
about
five
car
trips
a
day
with
the
help
of
and
and
work
with,
the
BPA
and
other
Transportation
staff.
AO
We
have
agreed
to
widen
that
road
into
integrate,
pedestrian
and
bicycle
as
well
as
vehicular
access,
sidewalks
and
really
turn
that
into
a
true,
complete
Street
sort
of
road
that
connects
all
the
way
past
our
property
onto
Holton
and
to
a
more
recently
reading
on
the
road
it
was
on
Charles,
River
and
on
on
the
sort
of
horizontal
axis
here
between
Everett
and
Telford
street
is
another
sort
of
industrial
Alleyway
that
we
will
turn
well
Street
trees
and
parking
and
full
access.
So
it
really
will
open
up
this.
AO
AO
Just
like
to
say
is
a
thank
you
to
our
team.
Young
spoke
about
this
briefly
in
the
lower
right.
We've
included
just
some
of
the
members
that
have
helped
put
all
of
this
work
in
and
all
of
all
of
this
design
together,
I
would
add
Wilson
stores,
with
our
attorneys
on
all
of
their
help,
to
giving
us
quick
shout
out
thanks
to
them.
So
many
people
behind
us
to
get
us
here.
Thank
you
so
much
Madam
chair,
remember
the
report.
A
Sure
great,
thank
you
so
is
this.
Is
a
a
public
hearing
we're
going
to
take
a
testimony
first
so
again
raise
your
your
virtual
hand.
If
you
would
like
to
testify
and
secretary
Paul
hemis,
do
we
have
anyone.
AQ
Think
about
the
secretary
button
chair
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
minor
Perez
I'm
here
representing
hundreds
of
Boston
residents
for
the
Carpenters
Union
The
Living
Word
in
the
city
of
Boston.
It
is
we
first
I'd
like
to
say,
developer,
Mr,
John
Park,
his
team
did
a
great
job
in
the
outreaching
of
the
community,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
office
of
Mayor
of
for
allowing
the
community
to
be
part
of
the
process
wearing
strong
support
of
this
project.
We
believe
this
is
a
great
project
for
Brighton.
AR
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Okay,
yes,
I
can
all
right,
I'm,
Chandler,
Rosenberger
I
was
on
the
iag
for
this
project
and
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
with
the
folks
from
Berkeley
and
other
neighborhood
members
about
this,
we've
all
been
I
think
it's
I
can
speak
for
a
number
of
members
on
the
IG
that
we've
all
been
very
impressed
with
Berkeley's
responsiveness
to
Neighborhood
concerns.
AR
AR
The
fact
that
the
parking
was
above
ground
there
was
going
to
be
a
mound
that
looked
like
the
design
was
going
to
let
a
lot
of
noise
in
from
Lincoln,
Street
and
Berkeley
went
back
and
came
back
to
us
I
think
about
six
months
later,
with
a
really
radically
redesigned
project
that
had
clearly
taken
them
all
out
of
time
to
work
on,
but
that
addressed
all
all
of
our
concerns
and
I
think
everybody
was
was
pretty
impressed
by
that.
AR
There
are
a
couple
other
things
that
I
as
a
homeowner
I'm
very
impressed
with
about
this
project.
I
live
about
300
feet
from
the
building.
So
it's
very
very
interesting
to
me.
AR
The
opening
up
of
Telford,
Street
and
New
Street
is
going
to
do
a
lot
to
integrate
traffic
in
the
neighborhood,
improve
the
traffic
in
the
neighborhood,
the
bringing
of
Artisans
Asylum
to
the
neighborhood
has
been
fantastic,
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
you
know
getting
involved
getting
my
kids
involved
in
some
of
the
classes
that
they
have
over
there
and
just
the
opportunity
to
have
more.
You
know
some
life
and
some
excitement
going
on
in
this
eyesore
we've
been
looking
at
for
17
years.
AR
We're
really
excited
about
this
project
and
really
grateful
to
Berkeley
for
bringing
it
and
hope
the
city
approves.
It.
AS
AT
Hello,
are
you
able
to
hear
me?
Yes,
hello,
my
name
is
Damian
paldon
and
I
am
with
Artisans
Asylum
I.
Am
the
co-chair
of
the
board
of
Artisans
and
I
wanted
to
express
my
support
of
Berkeley
on
this
project?
Not
only
have
they
been
fantastic
Partners
in
our
move
from
Somerville
to
Alston
and
been
steadfast
with
us
through
that
transition,
but
they've
been
very
open
and
transparent
with
us
in
including
us
in
the
plans
for
their
development,
and
our
slogan
currently
is
learn.
AT
AT
K
I'm
just
delighted
to
see
that
the
developer
and
a
range
of
community
people
were
willing
to
take
the
time
to
negotiate
a
project
that
looks
like
a
really
wonderful
addition
to
the
community.
O
A
My
Christian
past
this
congratulations
and
thank
you
good
luck.
Thank
you
very
much
right,
okay.
So,
let's
move
on
to
the
second
public
key
right.
A
So
so,
for
this
public
hearing
simultaneous
one
second
for
this
public
hearing,
simultaneous
Spanish
and
Haitian
Creole
interpretation
are

for
this
meeting
using
the
language
interpretation
function
within
two.
We
ask
that
you
be
patient
in
case
of
any
technical
issues.
Language
interpretation
will
not
be
enabled
until
instructions
on
how
to
access
interpretation
have
been
interpreted
into
Spanish
and
one's
interpretation
has
been
enabled.
The
globe
icon
will
appear
a
reminder
to
all
who
are
speaking
today.

up
to
two
minutes
to
comment.
A
AV
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members,
the
board
secretary,
paulinus
and
director
Jemison.
The
proposal
for
you
is
for
an
articulating
large
project,
known
as
Olmsted
Village.
The
project
site
is
the
final
decam
disposition
of
the
Old
State
Hospital
site
in
Mattapan
near
the
intersection
of
Morton
Street
and
Harvard
Street.
The
project
also
lies
within
the
Olmsted
green,
smart
growth
overlay
District,
which
this
board
expanded
in
December
2022
to
include
this
project
site.
Also
before
you
this
evening,
is
the
Smart
growth
development
plan
for
the
project.
AV
The
proposed
project
contains
269
total
units
spread
across
six
buildings.
There
are
both
homeownership
and
Rental
opportunities
across
the
site
and
the
proposed
projects
over
96
income,
restricted
included
in
the
housing
program,
are
affordable,
Senior
Living
units,
as
well
as
an
intergenerationally
programmed
building
that
will
Foster
connections
between
seniors
and
Foster
families.
AV
AV
All
meetings
are
well
attended
in
the
public
meetings
were
advertised
in
local
newspaper
and
online
I
wanted
to
thank
BPA
staff
and
members
of
the
public
who
contributed
their
time
and
efforts
to
improving
this
project
through
the
course
of
our
review.
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague,
Adriana
lasso
Harrier
from
the
vpa
planning
division
to
discuss
the
planning
context
that
was
considered
in
the
review
of
the
project
before
Elizabeth
heyer
Ian
Kenny
and
Paul
mommy
from
the
development
team
begin
their
presentation.
Thank
you.
Y
Good
evening
and
members
of
the
board
director,
Jemison
and
secretary
paulinus,
my
name
is
Adriana
lasso
Harrier
and
I'm,
a
neighborhood
planner
covering
Mattapan.
Although
the
proposed
project
is
outside
the
study
area,
boundaries
of
plan
matapan,
the
current
neighborhood
plan,
bpda
staff
did
refer
to
recommendations
in
the
community
Vision
laid
out
in
the
plan.
Plant
Mattapan
is
an
ongoing
planning
study
that
seeks
to
chart
a
more
Equitable
future
for
Mattapan
through
the
development
of
more
affordable
housing,
business
opportunities
and
enhanced
connections
to
jobs.
Y
Thinking
in
new
spaces,
the
proposed
project
makes
significant
progress
towards
realizing
planning
goals
outlined
in
plan
that
again,
including
those
of
encouraging
development
of
affordable,
multi-family
housing,
expanding
opportunities
for
intergenerational
housing
and
Home
Ownership
that
keeps
current
residents
in
their
neighborhood
and
helps
them
build
wealth
and
supporting
safe
and
accessible
pedestrian
and
bike
connections
to
mattapan's
open
spaces
and
urban
Wilds
through
localized
improvements
to
the
Greenland's
Network.
As
Quinn
mentioned,
the
proposed
project
is
also
located
within
the
boundaries
of
Boston's.
Y
Y
In
order
to
ensure
that
the
proposed
project
contributes
to
the
green
links,
recommendations
that
are
outlined
in
plant
Mattapan,
extensive
discussions
were
focused
on
how
to
properly
design
the
walking
and
biking
pads
through
the
development
site
to
mass
a
lot
of
bonds.
Boston
Nature
Center,
without
compromising
the
safety
and
accessibility,
as
well
as
the
responsiveness
of
the
path
designed
for
the
changing
natural
and
built
environments.
Y
Staff
also
focus
on
ensuring
the
maximum
level
of
affordability
at
a
range
of
incomes,
appropriately
scaling
the
massing
and
the
heights
of
the
proposed
buildings
for
a
gradual
transition
from
the
abutting
low-scale
homestead
green
development,
and
also
ensuring
that
the
edges
of
Olmsted
Village
would
respect
the
immediate
context.
Such
as
existing
homes
along
Harvard,
Street,
the
Mass
biologics
Campus
and
the
Boston
Nutri
Center,
so
I'll
now
turn
it
over
to
the
project
proponents
for
further
discussion.

AW
This
is
a
look
at
the
existing
conditions
outlined
in
pink.
Here
we
are
at
the
edge
of
the
former
Boston
state
hospital
and
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
kind
of
derelict
infrastructure.
That's
still
visible
there
from
the
hospital
campus
to
the
top
left
hand.
Side
of
this
page
is
Harvard
Street
to
the
top
right
hand.
Side
is
the
mass
biologics
campus
and
walk
Hill.
AW
There
are
two
significant
natural
resources
to
point
out
existing
on
the
site
at
the
top
left
hand,
side,
there's
a
significant
existing
tree,
canopy
and
and
Wetland
an
Associated
buffer
and
on
the
bottom
right
hand,
side
of
our
site
is
a
healthy
tree
canopy,
which
extends
beyond
our
site
and
onto
the
campus
of
of
the
Mass
Audubon
Center,
and
so
those
two
natural
resources
really
gave
us
a
starting
point
with
the
layout
of
our
infrastructure
and
proposed
buildings.
AW
And
so
here
it
is
so.
Our
proposal
in
total
is
187,
affordable
rental
units
within
two
buildings,
as
well
as
82
mixed
income,
home
ownership
units
within
the
two
affordable
rental
units
labeled
one
and
two
here,
building
number
one
is
a
joint
venture
between
two
Life
Communities
The,
Treehouse
foundation
and
Plummer
youth
promise.
AW
This
building
has
eight
units
dedicated
to
them
so
that,
as
they
transition
out
of
the
Foster
program,
they
have
a
place
to
remain
within
a
supportive
community
and,
and
you
know,
find
the
best
steps
for
themselves
as
they
as
they
grow.
Building
number
two
brook
house
is
127
units
of
affordable
senior
housing
and
at
the
ground
floor
of
building
number
two
is
a
lot
of
our
community
programming.
We'll
get
a
closer
look
at
that.
AW
As
we
as
we
kind
of
take
a
walk
through
among
the
four
buildings
which
make
up
the
mixed
income
home
ownership,
there
is
a
variety
in
the
scale
of
buildings.
It's
the
far
left
hand
side
of
the
of
the
page
building
number
six
in
the
harbor
Street
Building
is
a
31
31
home
ownership
units
in
a
kind
of
mid-rise,
multi-family
technology,
two
small
buildings,
labeled
four
and
five,
which
are
quad
plexes,
so
four
units
in
each
and
then
the
largest
of
the
home
ownership.
AW
Buildings
is
called
Russell
house
and
that
is
located
at
the
intersection
of
warbler
way
and
West
Main
Street
Russell
house
tree
house
and
the
brook
house
building
all
kind
of
make
up
the
center
of
gravity.
Here.
We
we
wanted
to
really
centralize
the
greatest
density
and
the
greatest
amount
of
activity
at
the
intersection
here.
So
we
create
a
sort
of
center
of
gravity
from
which
we
generate
a
sense
of
space
and
a
sense
of
community
next
slide.
Please
taking
a
look
at
the
site
plan
at
the
bottom
right
hand.
AW
AW
AW
We
had
a
lot
of
really
positive
and
constructive
conversations
about
how
this
building,
despite
being
the
the
sort
of
densest
and
largest
building
on
the
The
Proposal,
is,
is
carved
back
in
his
respective
of
the
scale
of
the
buildings
around
it,
as
well
as
as
kind
of
generates
a
an
active
ground
floor
at
the
ground
floor
of
the
brook
house.
There
is
a
daycare
center,
a
community
space
which
will
be
open
for
Community
programming
and
there's
also
a
thousand
square
foot.
AW
It
was
really
important
that
we
allowed
the
Treehouse
building
to
be
adjacent
to
the
Mass
Audubon
Nature
Center
The,
Treehouse
Foundation,
currently
located
in
East
Hampton,
actually
has
an
existing
relationship
with
the
Mass
Audubon
Center
and
they
bring
their
their
their
young
people
out
on
a
regular
basis.
So
the
opportunity
to
have
a
presence
immediately
adjacent
is
just
an
incredible
opportunity
for
them
and
so
we're
happy
to
be
able
to
make
that
work
next
slide.
Please
and
taking
a
look
at
the
Home
Ownership
buildings
in
the
top
left.
AW
Russell
house
is
the
the
sort
of
one
home
ownership
building
that
that,
along
with
the
rental
buildings
anchors,
the
intersection
of
West,
Main,
Street
and
one
of
their
way,
and
so
it's
the
largest
of
the
buildings
43
units.
AW
Looking
at
the
warbler
Town
Homes,
there
are
two
four
pack
units:
these
are
town
home
style
units,
and
so
when
we,
when
we
look
at
the
mass
in
here,
we
actually
see
four
units
which
are
kind
of
vertically
oriented,
which
is
to
say
that
no
one
has
neighbors
immediately
above
them
or
below
them,
but
rather
they
have
town
home
style
units
which
give
a
really
nice
mix
of
of
privacy
and
a
nice
kind
of
nice
unit
layout
and
along
Harvard.
AW
Street
bottom
left
is
the
one
building
that
we
have
along
Harvard
Street,
and
so
the
scale
of
that
building
is
meant
to
respond
to
the
existing
neighborhood
fabric
across
Harvard
Street,
and
also
takes
advantage
of
some
pretty
dramatic
topography
in
a
way
that
allows
us
to
tuck
parking
under
the
building
and
make
quite
a
quite
a
compact
footprint.
AW
Next
slide,
please,
and
so
looking
at
the
intersection
of
Harvard
Street,
going
up
on
the
top
left-hand
side
of
this
page
and
to
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
page,
we
see
Deering
Road,
where
it
where
it
crosses
Harvard
Street
part
of
The
Proposal,
is
an
improved
pedestrian
Crossing
and
stop
light.
So
we
really
want
want
to
prioritize
the
safety
of
of
folks
using
all
different
modes
of
transportation
as
they
move
from
as
they
move
across
Harvard
Street
it's.
AW
This
is
also
sort
of
the
the
welcome
moment
where
folks
are
able
to
cross
onto
our
site
and
pick
up
the
multimodal
paths.
So
we
we
anticipate
a
good
signage
and
kind
of
infographics
that
folks
understand
that
the
Mass
Audubon
Nature
Center
is
accessible
from
this
point
next
slide.
AW
Please-
and
this
is
a
view
of
the
intersection
of
warbler
away
receiving
the
background
and
and
West
Main
Street
cutting
left
to
right
in
this
image
in
front
of
us
is
brookhouse
and,
as
I
mentioned,
it's
the
the
largest
of
the
buildings
at
127
units.
AW
We've
done
a
lot
of
work,
carving
back
the
building
and
trying
to
trying
to
create
appropriate
volumes
and
appropriate
massing.
That
is
respectable
context.
You
can
also
see
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
street
here.
The
continuous
multimodal
path
and
kind
of
detail
there
in
green
is
the
is
the
dedicated
bike.
AW
What
next
slide
please
and
looking
back
the
other
way
back
towards
the
intersection
of
Waterway
and
West
Main
Street
brookhouse
is
now
on
our
left
and
we
have
the
kind
of
child
care
center
front
and
center,
and
we
have
a
really
interesting
kind
of
overhanging
condition,
which
we
hope
will
will
expand
the
usefulness
and
and
the
ability
for
the
children
at
the
child
care
center
to
use
the
outdoor
space
there
throughout
the
shoulder
Seasons
a
little
bit
of
protection
from
the
elements
and
on
the
right
hand,
side.
AW
We
see
Russell
house
and,
as
might
not
be
totally
evident
here,
but
Russell
house
is
starting
to
step
down
and
scale
as
it
abuts
the
existing
fabric
of
Ohm's
decorating
next
slide.
Please
and
finally,
a
look
at
tree
house
and
and
again
with
the
slightly
lower
unit
count.
We
were
able
to
further
reduce
the
scale
of
Treehouse
and
with
the
really
unique
and
special
population
that
we're
housing
this
in
this
building.
AW
We
really
love
the
opportunity
to
kind
of
grab
some
of
the
iconography
of
domestic
architecture
that
we
see
throughout
Olmstead
and
that
being
the
Gable
group
that
we
see
here
to
be
a
kind
of
welcoming
moment
for
the
community.
This
will
have
both
duplex
and
flat
units,
as
well
as
community
space
that
is
so
Central
to
the
mission
that
that
Treehouse
is
here
for
all
right
next
slide,
please
I
think
I'll
hand
it
to

AX
Thank
you
to
the

for
the
opportunity
to
come
before
you
tonight
and
I'll
pass
it
over
to
Elizabeth
Hayer
and
two
life
committees
for
the
conclusion
of
our
presentation.
E
You
can
go
to
slide.
This
is
our
last
slide
and
I
have
the
privilege
of
rounding
out
our
presentation
and
thanking
all
the
members
of
the
board
and
director
Jemison
for
your
consideration
tonight.
E
And
we're
really
excited
at
two
life
in
particular
that
the
addition
of
affordable,
supportive
senior
housing
and
The
intergenerational
Treehouse
Community
will
really
create
a
rich
diversity
of
housing
opportunities
on
the
former
Boston
State
Hospital
side
and
be
an
amazing
addition
to
the
incredible
work.
That's
already
come
before
us
on
this
site,
as
you
can
see
on
this
slide,
we're
pleased
to
have
oop
well,
I,
think
we're
done
here,
but
extensive,
temporary
and
permanent
jobs,
as
I
mentioned,
all
the
community
benefits
and
I'll
just
round
it
out.
E
By
saying
also,
we
have
a
very
strong
commitment
to
sustainability
here
with
100
passive
house
and
neutral
buildings.
So
with
that
again,
all
thank
you
for
your
attention
and
finally,
I
want
to
also
thank
director,
Jemison
and
and
mayor
Wu
and
Sheila
Dillon
for
the
funding
award
that
was
provided,
announced
today
for
brookhouse,
which
is
the
first
of
the
projects.
That's
also
proceeding
through
the
funding
process
with
the
city
of
Boston.
So
thank
you
so
much.
E
A
You
I
think
it
was
bad
all
right
so
so
this
is
a
public
hearing
we'll
take
public
testimony
first
Secretary
of
behemus.
Do
we
have
anyone
that
would
like
to
testify.
AQ
Thank
you,
Madam
Secretary,
my
name
is
Mina
Perez
I
am
here
representing
the
Carpenters
Union
hundreds
of
members
of
liberal
work
across
the
city
of
Boston,
in
particularly
I'd
like
to
speaking
behalf
of
my
members
that
live
in
Roxbury.
This
is
a
great
proposal,
great
project,
affordable
housing.
We
always
greatly
needed
what
we
ask
is,
and
we
know
the
developers
will
think
of
this.
Is
we
like
to
see
the
opportunity
for
our
neighbor
the
neighbors
to
be
able
to
grow
what
to
work
to
this
project?
AQ
So
please,
in
terms
of
hiring
contractors
responsible
employers,
legit
will
get
people
on
the
box.
That
will
be
greatly
appreciated.
So
we
extend
the
chance
to
compete
and
be
able
to
see
some
of
our
members
that
live
in
the
neighborhood
to
go
to
work
with
this
project
again
great
job.
I
know
your
mission
is
steaming,
I
love
what
you
are
doing.
If
we
support
you,
it
will
just
be
great
to
see
our
members
go
to
work
at
this
project.
Thank
you.
AS
Good
evening,
thank
you.
My
name
is
the
chair
for
the
Great
American
neighborhood
Council
I'm,
calling
in
support
from
the
group
from
the
council
for
this
project.
AS
The
the
other
reason
I
wanted
to
speak
tonight
is
to
speak
to
the
conversations
that
we
had
with
I
was
retired
in
particular,
and
other
project
members
to
make
sure
that
there
is
on
this
project
and
effort
to
connect
to
the
existing
Mattapan
neighborhood,
very
often
in
projects
of
this
size
and
complexity.
What
they
do
is
they
become
very
insular
and
there
is
no
direct
connection
to
those
homes
that
are
on
the
inside
because
of
the
way
the
streets
are
built
to
the
neighborhood.
AS
One
side,
in
particular,
for
example,
is
Harvard
Street,
so
all
of
those
homes
are
better.
If
you
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
can
show
the
slack,
but
all
of
those
homes
that
are
on
that
side,
there
is
a
definitive
need
to
ensure
that
the
residents
and
workers
are
on
that
site
have
a
connection
to
our
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
AY
My
name
is
Angela
Williams
Mitchell
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
Boston
jobs,
Coalition
and
I
will
start
by
saying
the
mere
fact
that
this
project
is
has
this
piece
of
it?
That's
intergenerational
and
it
it
thought
of
our
youth,
especially
when
they're
aging,
out
of
foster
care
to
be
able
to
provide
sustainable
living.
AY
AY
I
do
have
a
question
about
home
ownership.
Is
there
deed
restriction
on
these
these
units
and
what
are
the
Deeds
restrictions.
A
AY
Right
the
best
fear.
So
then
the
other
question
would
be
along
with
what
Mr
Perez
spoke
about
in
terms
of
community
benefits.
How
many
achieve
is
600
jobs,
permanent
and
temporary.
How
many
are
permanent?
How
many
are
temporary
and
how
many
Community
residents
will
will
be
employed.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity.
A
Yeah
great
great,
so
so
coming
right
off
of
that,
so
we
have.
You
know
those
two
questions
on
clarification
on
the
home
ownership
and
Associated
deed
restrictions
and
then
a
review
of
the
the
community
benefits
and
job
recruitment
efforts
globally.
E
Here,
I'm
happy
to
take
those
so
on
the
question
about
these
restrictions
for
the
homeownership
homes
all
but
eight
of
the
homeownership
homes
will
have
deed
restrictions
and
they'll
have
a
range
of
affordability
associated
with
them,
but
all
but
eight
will
be
deed,
restricted
and
on
the
community
benefits
in
particular.
The
question
I
think
is
about
the
breakdown
of
jobs
between
permanent
and
temporary
jobs.
I,
don't,
to
be
honest,
have
the
exact
breakdown,
but
what
I
can
say?
A
Okay,
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
O
E
E
A
You
know
it's
projects
like
these,
that
kind
of
make
it
all
worth
it,
at
least
at
least
for
me,
the
the
intentional
intergenerationality
has
a
good
score.
A
A
So
it's
it's
saying
that
there's
a
place
for
you
here
in
Mattapan,
you
know
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
that
that
means
something
and
I'm
just
really
proud
of
this
project
and
I'm,
proud
of
all
the
teams
and
everybody
that
that
participated.
To
make
this
to
make
this
happen,
and
it
is
with
a
great
honor
that,
as
an.
AS
B
AX
AW
A
A
Okay,
so
that's
our
public
hearings!
Thank
you
to
the
interpreters
who
who
participated
in
our
public
hearings
today.
We
appreciate
you
and
we've
got
a
couple
more
agenda
items.
So,
let's
scroll
back
to
item
number
22.

of
strategically
envisioning
the
future
of
Dorchester

and
surrounding
Glover's
corner.

Next
slide,
please
so
during
project
review,
planning
and
design
staff
work
to
ensure
that
the
proposal
better
fit
planning
recommendations.
Specifically,
the
original
proposed
footprint
concentrated
the
building's
massing
along
the
northern
portion
of
the
site,
leaving
a
vacant
surface
parking
lot
to
itself
based
on
planning
staff
input.
The
building
footprint
was
shifted
to
the
front
or
the
western
edge
of
the
site,
which
created
open
space
along
the
mid-block
edge
of
the
site.

Good
evening
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
we
wish
to
first
thank
Stephen,
Harvey
and
bpda
and
City
staff
for
guiding
this
project
through
the
public
review
process,
which
resulted
in
significant
improvements,
including
the
addition
of
ground
floor
commercial
space
to
activate
this
section
of
Dorchester
Avenue
and
numerous
public
realm
improvements
and
other
benefits
as
detailed
by
Stephen.
In
this
introduction,
this
compact
living
project
by
offering
70
studio
apartment
units
within
a
10-minute
walking
distance
of
Rapid
Transit,
will
create
new
opportunities
for
small
households
to
take
advantage
of
everything.
AZ
The
Fields
Corner
neighborhood
has
to
offer
in
a
modern
and
comfortable
building
with
over
3
600
square
feet
of
indoor
and
outdoor
amenities
based
proposed
project
complies
with
the
provisions
of
both
the
compact
living
pilot
and
planned
Glover's
corner
and
represents
an
exciting
concept
of
providing,
in
this
case,
renters
the
right
amount
of
needed
space
to
be
able
to
live
comfortably
in
one
of
Boston's,
Most,
vibrant,
diverse
and
desirable
neighborhoods.
Next

plan.
Here
you
can
see
the
proposed
site
plan
for
the
project,
which
includes
a
building
footprint
less
than
50
percent
of
the
site.
For
the
plain
Glover's
Corner
guidelines,
the
existing
curb
cut
on
Ellsworth

has
been
made
smaller,
as
well
as
a

compliant
complete
sidewalk
on
Dorchester

including
three
tree
plantings,
new
public
bike
parking,
a
new
bike,
traveling
and
multiple
pedestrian
travel
zones
has
been
incorporated
into
the
design.
AZ
Commercial
space
and
amenity
space
have
been
added
to
the
ground
floor,
designed
to
further
engage
the
community
and
promote
pedestrian
participation.
Next

please.
This
is
showing
the

We
used
a
combination
of
brick
and
metal
panel
materials
to
break
down
the
massing
of
this
six-story
proposal,
while
incorporating
wind-tone
accents
to
warm
up
the
color
palette.

this
is
a
view
from
the
south
looking
north

to
expand
a
lot
of
the
Green
Space
capability,
along
with
working
with
BPA

to
really
encourage
pedestrian
use,
as
well
as

we
have
any
questions
or

AZ
T
Good
evening,
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary
and
director
Jameson.
My
name
is
Stephen
Harvey
senior
project
manager
at
the
bpda
and
I
want
to
once
again.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Today,
the
project
I
bring
before
you
today
is
3339
Moore
Street,
located
in
South
Boston's
Andrew
Square
on
August
24th
2021,
the
proponent
submitted
a
notice
of
project
change
for
the
2017
Board
of
recruits
project,
the
notice
of
project
change
requested
to
change
the
unit,
programming
and
ownership.
T
The
original
2017
waterproof
project
called
for
the
construction
of
14
condominium
units
and
15
garage
parking
spaces.
The
MPC
proposes
to
change
the
unit
programming
from
home
ownership
units
to
rentals.
The
MPC
will
also
change
the
listed
owner
and
Ami
levels
for
the
two
IDP
units
to
an
Ami
level
of
70
I
held
two
virtual
public
meetings
for
the
NPC.
Both
virtual
public
meetings
were
advertised
in
the
local
papers
and
by
email.
T
AT
A
Was
gonna
say:
I
was
like
no
slides,
yeah,
no
slides
for
this
one,
so
right
so
we're
changing
home
ownership
to
rental
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
BA
O
K
A
request
authorization
to
issue
a
certification
of
approval
in
accordance
with
article
Ade,
small
project
review
in
connection
with
the
notice
of
project
change
for
the
135
Bremen
Street
project,
reducing
the
110
parking
spaces
to
47
parking
spaces
and
to
two
and
allow
the
modification
to
the
ground
floor
level
to
take
a
lot
related
actions.
Daniel.
M

Second
I
noticed
priority
training
was
filed
in
response
to
the
completion
of
construction
documents,
which
demonstrated
how
close
or
post
lower
level
of
parking
would
be
to
the
MBTA
tunnel
below,
but
opponent
is
seeking
to
eliminate
previously
proposed
lower
level
of
parking
which
will
reduce
the
proposed
parking
from
110
to
parking
spaces
to
47
parking
spaces.
Additionally,
your
opponent
has
worked
with
the
BPD
on
several
changes
to
improve
the
building's
design
and
efficiency,
but
both
changes
do
not
affect
the
overall
unit.
M
Count
previously
approved
by
IDP
units
for
a
plan
to
the
residential
floors
above
on
September
13
2022,
the
bpea
couldn't
make
that
public
meeting
for
the
community's
review
and
comment.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration
tonight.
I
have
the
development
team
here
with
me
today
to
present
the
project
in
detail
to
answer
any
questions
in
regard
to
the
project
and
other
questions,
you
may
have
alternative
to
talk
about
planning
context.
Thank
you.
So
much.
BB
Thank
you
Dan
and
good
evening
secretary
paulimes
and
members
of
the
board.
My
name
is
Zachary
Guzman
and
I
am
a
neighborhood
planner
covering
East
Boston
project
is
located
within
the
planning
boundaries
of
planning's
Boston,
an
ongoing
planning
initiative
that
began
in
2018
planes,
Boston,
delivered
draft
recommendations
for
all
squares
and
corridors
in
May
of
2021
and
draft
recommendations
for
neighborhood
residential
areas
in
October
of
last
year.
BB
I
think
there's
another
slide.
Oh
actually,
that's
sorry.
The
key
considerations
of
bpda
Staff
during
the
review
of
the
NPC
were
to
update
the
proposal
to
include
compliance
with
draft
recommendations
presented
at
plantings
Boston,
as
well
as
ensuring
the
sidewalk
Dimensions
abide
by
btb's,
complete
streets
guidelines,
minimizing
public
realm
impacts
associated
with
driveway,
curb
cuts
and
improving
the
building's
design.
Now
I
would
like
to
hand
the
presentation
over
to
the
proponent
team
to
present
in
more
detail.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
AC
N
AC
Business
address
of
11
Beacon
Street,
the
attorneys
on
the
project
I
also
have
Linda
michenkin
the
architect
on
the
project
as
well
with
me,
and
what
you're
looking
at
is
a
front
rendering
of
the
project
on
Bremen
Street
and,
as
was
mentioned,
this
project
was
approved
a
while
back
for
the
94
units.
Once
we
got
into
the
construction
portion,
we're
able
to.
J
AC
AC
Able
to
add
a
number
of
amenities
to
the
building
by
reducing
this
parking
and
that
that's
included
having
amenity
space,
a
fitness
room
in
that
ground
level
that
also
allowed
us
to
access
the
greenway
better
and
to
remove
one
of
the
entrance
coins
for
the
need
of
the
garage
which
allowed
for
better
pedestrian
access
and
and
not
having
cars
come
in
that
that
section
of
the
area
as
well
I
can
quickly.
If,
if
lender
is
on
I,
don't
know
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide.
AG
Thank
oh
thank
you.
Would
you
like
me
to
to
start
I'm
happy
to
sure
yeah
major
differences
that
resulted
from
our
recent
review
center
around
the
accessibility
of
the
the
building
entrance
and
the
connection
between
the
Courtyard
at
the
front
of
the
building
facing
Freeman
Street
and
the
public
way
we've
been
able,
through
our
review
with
the
bpda,
in
concert
with
our
civil
engineer
and
landscape
architect,
to
propose
something?
AG
That's
still
keeps
us
within
the
constraints
of
the
of
staying
out
of
the
flood
plain
which
this
building
had
to
do,
and
we
have
our
raised
in
terms
of
our
first
floor
uses
are
raised
a
little
under
two
feet
from
the
sidewalk.
We
had
enough
depth
at
the
front
Courtyard
to
be
able
to
change
our
previous
design,
which
created
a
little
bit
of
a
wall,
because
we
had
three
steps
and
a
short
ramp.
AG
Taking
you
into
the
courtyard
we've
been
able
to
change
that
so
that
now
we
have
a
just
a
a
gradual
slope
up
to
a
large
flat
area
with
with
seating
and
in
increased
planting
in
this
Courtyard.
AG
In
contrast
to
what
we
had
before,
and
so
we
think
that
that
is
a
real
Improvement
to
the
project,
as
Jeff
mentioned
before,
we
have
a
better
situation
in
terms
of
the
relationship
of
our
drive
and
the
extent
of
our
driveway
entrance
into
the
building,
in
contrast
with
the
previous
scheme,
which
had
to
have
two
separate
garage
doors
and
two
separate
driveways,
one
to
access
the
first
floor
parking
and
one
to
access
the
formerly
proposed
below-grade
parking.
AG
So
now,
when
reducing
ourselves
to
one
driveway,
we
are
unable
to
now
have
our
bike
parking
at
the
first
floor,
with
with
glazed
Windows
of
facing
Bremen,
Street
and
immediate
access,
I
think
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide
and
okay,
this
is
a
blow
up
of
the
landscape
which,
which
shows
a
little
bit
more
of
what
I
was
talking
about,
in
which
the
there's
a
large
flat
area
which
can
be
used
for
seating.
AG
We
have
seat
walls
along
that,
and
an
interesting
thing
about
this
project
is
that
it's
got
three
doorways
into
that
courtyard.
The
one
that
you're
seeing
at
the
bottom
of
the
plan
that
that
face
is
the
residential
entry.
There
is
one
to
the
right,
which
will
be
the
entry
to
the
retail
space,
which
is
potentially
a
restaurant,
and
the
one
to
the
left
is
an
entrance
to
the
fitness.
AG
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
detail
on
this,
but
this
is
the
Civil
plan
and
if
you
look
at
the
bottom,
on
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
sheet
you'll
see
a
cross
section
which
shows
you
how
gradual
the
the
the
walk
is
up
to
the
the
main
entrance.
So
it's
a
very
slight
slope.
It
is
weighing
below
the
allowed.
AC
AG
That's
fine,
maybe
just
go
to
the
if
you
could
just
switch
there.
We
go
just
say
one
back
to
the
that
this
day.
This
is
just
for
the
first
floor
and
it
does
show
we've
now
gone
to
stacker
parking,
and
so
we
have,
you
know,
I
think
maximized
the
what
we're
able
to
put
into
that
one
floor
plan
and
that's
the
end
of
my
presentation
thanks.
Thank
you.
N
A
Does
that
conclude
the
overall
presentation,
yeah,
okay,
yeah
no
I
mean
there
was
there-
was
a
lot
you're
dealing
with
there
in
this
project,
so
so
I,
you
know
appreciate
the
complexity
and
the
in
the
detail
of
what
you
what
you
presented
there
there's
a
lot
to
work
around
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
O
A
That's
I
says:
congratulations!
Good
luck!
Thank
you
very
much.
You
all
right!
So
we're
going
to
skip
forward
to
item
number
27.

Therefore,

I

immediately.
A
Hey,
thank
you,
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
O
A
O
Have
a
commentary
I
was
able
to
attend
the
meeting
with
the
bpda
staff
just
over
a
week
ago,
and
there
seemed
to
be
such
a
huge
amount
of
uncertainty
or
people
that
have
worked
long
and
hard
for
the
agency
that
are
quite
concerned
about
these
changes.
So
it
seems
to
me
that
the
changes
are
happening
very
quick
and
I
as
a
board.
Member,
maybe
appreciate
a
slower
process
or
more
of
a
engagement
going
through
so
I'm,
not
quite
sure
exactly
what
I'm
voting
for
this
evening.
K
If
I
could
just
pick
up
on
that
items,
at
least
items
6,
12,
13
and
there's
at
least
one
other
on
our
agenda
today,
speak
in
terms
of
planning
processes
that
we
want
to
go
through.
Presumably
before
we
make
any
changes
and
now
on
the
the
penultimate
item
on
the
agenda
today,
we
have
a
request
to
accept
immediate
changes
without
clarification
as
to
what
those
immediate
changes
are
and
and
I
have
to
Echo.
K
My
colleagues
a
concern
here
in
that
there
are
professional,
hard-working
staff
who've
been
at
the
agency
producing
really
astounding
in
some
respects,
Planning
and
Development
outcomes
that
are
generating
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
of
revenue
for
the
city
and
thousands,
thousands
of
new
units
of
housing
and
now
they're
in
a
situation
where
this
there's
almost
no
specificity
as
far
as
we
can
tell
in
terms
of
how
they
will
be
impacted
and
how
their
work
will
be
impacted.
If
immediate
changes
proposed
in
this
item
are
implemented.
R
Members
of
the
board,
thanks
for
the
chance
to
I,
did
want
to
make
sure
that
if
other
members
of
the
board
had
questions,
maybe
I
could
try
to
address
all
of
them
at
one
time.
But
I'm
happy.
A
To
answer
I
think
yeah
I
think
with
that
I
think
we
just
we
want
some.
Just
some
clarification
would
be
helpful
on
what
this
vote
means.
You
know
and
it's
specific
action
what
what
this?
What
this
allows
I
know:
we've
gotten
the
the
memo,
but
that.
R
Would
be
helpful
sure?
Well
again,
the
way
I
would
answer
that
question
directly.
R
I
was
at
the
same
meeting
that
you're
describing
I
was
the
host
of
it
and
I
heard
all
the
comments
from
staff
members
as
I've
been
hearing
in
the
coffee
hours
and
visits
with
staff
individually,
one
of
the
things
that
you've
said
I
want
to
just
amplify,
which
is
that
we
have
the
benefit
of
200
very
hard
working,
Industrial
Staff
members
who,
as
you
said,
Dr
lancemark
I'll,
bring,
have
brought
forward
a
billions
of
dollars
worth
of
development
to
the
to
this
board
just
about
every
month
for
for
many
many
years,
we're
appreciative
to
them
and
to
hear
the
range
of
responses
and
people
asking
questions
and
being
left
feeling
uncertain,
wasn't
wasn't
great.
R
However,
I
would
also
say
that
having
a
a
chance
to
have
staff
people's
voices
heard
both
by
the
mayor
and
members
of
the
team,
as
well
as
other
staff,
members
I,
think,
was
really
valuable.
So
you
know
my
experience
of
change.
Is
that
that's
part
of
the
kind
of
conversation
you
have
to
have,
and
some
of
the
frankly
a
commitment
to
the
transparency
and
an
engagement
that
that
an
example
of
the
commitment
to
the
transparency
that
we
are
that
we
are
comfortable
with
a
need
to
embrace
I?
Think
the.
R
What
we're
asking
for
in
our
vote
tonight
is
that
we
just
to
kind
of
highlight
other
aspects
of
the
executive
order
that
are
important
votes
were
taken
earlier
today.
That
would
allow
us
to
examine
ways
that
we
can
improve
article
80
and
improve
the
community
engagement
process
associated
with
article
80.
R
he'll
also
I
believe,
speaks
to
work
that
we
would
be
doing
on
zoning
and
ways
that
we
would
seek
to
better
align
our
work
with
the
next
60
years
of
and
our
tools
that
we
use
to
do
our
work
with
the
next
60
years
of
of
growth
that
the
city
needs
to
needs
to
realize.
So
in
asking
for
you
to
take
this
vote
tonight,
if
we
were
asking
for
recognition
of
the
the
mayor's
order.
Obviously
you,
as
the
board
of
the
PDA,
have
I
have
a
unique
set
of
responsibilities.
R
We
are
currently
constituted
in
a
way
where
we
are
aboard
as
we
developing
powers
and
the
power
is
to
improve
development,
and
also
we
have
a
staff
that
works
for
us,
and
so
in
that
context,
I
think
we're
asking
you
to
ask
you
to
acknowledge
the
mayor's
executive
order,
hopefully
embracing
the
aspects
that
are
associated
with
improving
our
work,
improving
our
process.
R
We
also
recognize
and
know
that
in
your
role
as
board
members
and
leaders
of
the
development
process
in
the
city
that
we
all
need
to
together
make
sure
that
this
process
process
that
you're,
alluding
to
in
your
discussion
about
what
the
community,
the
meeting
with
the
staff
was
like
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
process
is
executed
properly
and
that
we
can
deliver
on
the
commitments
to
make
sure
that
that
we've
made
that
staff
members
have
the
the
kind
of
resources.
R
R
I
share
with
you,
as
the
board
members
I'm
completely
committed
to
that
as
I
know,
you
are
but
I
think
I'll
vote
tonight
on
this
item
is
meant
to
acknowledge
the
the
proposed
improvements
that
we're
all
undertaking
together,
but
I
think
it
does
not
in
any
way
change
our
commitment
to
making
sure
that
the
staff
that
are
bringing
forward
the
virus
amazing
developments
that
we
have
seen
tonight
and
I'm
going
to
summarize
in
my
notes
that
they're
going
to
be
protected
and
looked
after
as
this
process
takes
shape.
K
K
Goals
and
principles
in
fulfilling
the
mission
that
we
feel
as
board
members.
K
So
I
can
only
express
my
own
viewpoint,
but
that
is
that
in
this
meeting
it
appears
that
we
put
the
cart
before
the
horse
by
asking
us
to
engage
in
planning
towards
reform
without
having
the
evidence
and
data.
That
indicates
specifically
what
the
reforms
are
and
I
think
that
that's
what
we're
entitled
to
as
a
board
with
members
who
serve
the
city
well
for
years.
A
Okay,
additional
questions
or
comments.
A
Okay,
this
is
well,
you
know
this.
This
is
this.
Is
the
process
and
we
do
we
take
the
open
meetings,
oh
very
seriously,
and
and
therefore
we
as
board
members,
you
know
haven't
had
this.
You
know
this
conversation
and.
A
So
so
what
I
will
do
is.
R
Was
going
to
say
what
I,
what
I
would
love
to
do,
as
we
have
done
many
times
and
as
we
prepare
our
board
package
is
consistent
with
all
of
the
rules
and
laws
of
governing
that
we
interact
with
you
as
our
board.
We
often
find
a.
We
often
have
a
chance
to
talk
in
detail
about
items
like
this,
as
we
have
frequently
for
the
lat
over
the
last
seven
months.
What
I'd
hope
to
do
is
create
a
forum
where
we
can.
R
You
can
talk
in
the
way,
that's
appropriate
according
to
those
laws,
and
we
can
engage
with
you
in
a
way
it's
appropriate
according
to
those
laws,
and
we
can
expand
this
conversation.
I
do
think,
there's
a
part
of
this
discussion
that
is
appropriate
in
the
public
and
given
the
comments
of
Dr
landsmark
about
not
having
had
a
full
chance
to
do
that,
I
think
we
should
Avail
ourselves
of
that
and
it'll
be.
My
recommendation
is
Item.
B
is
either
be
tabled
or
going
back
in
a
later
a
later
date.
A
I
I
agree
with
that
recommendation
and
and
appreciate
that
and
I
appreciate
this.
This
dialogue
and
I
will
Echo.
You
know
you
know
Dr,
landsmark
and,
and
my
other
fellow
board
members
look.
We.
BA
In
principle,
raise
these
these.
A
With
to
a
broad
extent,
right
and,
and
so
so
I
think
you
know,
I
think
we're
on
the
we're
on
the
right
track.
There's
more
conversation
to
be
had
and
I
will
take
that
recommendation.
So
we
are
going
to
table
this
item
until
a
date
to
be
further
determined
and
secretary
Paul
hemis
do
I
have
to
vote
to
table
it
or
I
just
table
it.
Yeah.

Matt
thank.
G
Order
to
the
edic
measure
that
we
presented
earlier,
the
only
change
would
be.
There
are
certain
reporting
mechanisms
specific

the
article

process
that
we
do
any
information
there

had

Water

Sewer

had
to
pay

response

then
the

assessed
was
a

The
floor
is
yours:.
R
Good
evening,
I
hope
everybody
is
is
doing
all
right.
We've
had
a
great
board
meeting
tonight.
We've
approved
five
new
development
projects.
R
We
have
those
projects
contained
686
residential
units,
approximately
half
of
which
were
income
restricted,
as
I
suggested
earlier.
This
board
meeting
alone
has
a
value
of
development
representing
over
one
billion
dollars,
and
the
projects
here
represent
1.6
million
square
feet,
of
which
680
000
are
residential.
When
constructed
1493
trades,
people
will
be
working,
creating
1844
direct
jobs
based
on
our
our
estimates.
R
This
has
been
a
great
meeting.
We've
been
some
important
policy
issues
such
as
linkage,
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
I,
take
our
first
step
tonight
and
updated
the
linkage
policy
now
that
the
board
has
approved
the
fee
increase.
This
updated
policy
will
go
to
the
zoning
commission
where
we
need
to
be
voted
on
formally,
if
approved,
the
increase
in
fees
will
be
phased
in
over
two
years,
starting
at
the
beginning
of
next
year.
2024.
R
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
the
heart
of
work
on
this
house
over
the
partners
in
the
business
community
and
the
and
those
who
advocate
for
more
affordable
housing
and
Workforce
training,
for
as
it
is
in
most
things,
we've
worked
hard
to
try
to
put
our
best
thinking
forward
and
achieve
a
balanced
approach
specifically
for
those
who've
advocated
these
fees
be
increased,
I
hope,
there's
a
sense.
R
This
Milestone
has
been
made,
which
is
going
to
help
folks
who
need
affordable,
housing
and
and
Workforce
Development
for
those
who
were
concerned
about
uncertainty
in
the
market.
Hopefully,
the
two-phase
implementation
speaks
to
the
current
and
economic
moment
that
we're
in
again.
At
the
end,
this
balance
is
going
to
result
in
Great,
Things,
We
Believe
for
both
affordable
housing
and
Workforce
training
in
the
city
tonight
we
also
took
an
action.
R
I
think
we
all
share
the
goal
that
a
more
a
transformed
approach
to
to
this
work
will
make
it
easier
for
Citizens
and
business
interests
both
to
continue
to
build
Boston
I
want
to
thank
the
teams
that
worked
hard
on
the
Scopes
of
these
rfps,
including
many
individual
interviews
with
developers
and
Advocates
to
help
us
think
it
through
I
also
like
to
highlight
that
170
Lincoln
project.
It's
a
great
example
of
planning
light
development.
It's
I
get
another
of
the
wackers
projects,
Western
Avenue,
Corridor
zoning
I'll
work
and
the
transfer
the
transportation
recommendations
from
this.
R
This
project
that
we've
just
described
tonight
will
be
extending
Telford
Street
contributing
traffic
calming
measures
and
breaking
down
the
overall
massing
of
the
blocks.
I
also
want
to
thank,
as
I
have
for
each
of
the
developers
who
are
working
on
projects
in
this
Corridor
I.
Thank
them
for
their
patience.
It
was
the
Long
View
that
allowed
Wacker
Z
to
be
approved
and
Advance
this
project,
along
with
several
others,
a
great
job
to
those
involved.
R
Finally,
I
want
to
highlight
Olmsted
Village,
it's
a
great
example,
adding
a
very
significant
number
of
new
units
as
part
of
the
one
of
the
last
segments
of
the
Boston
State
Hospital
project.
It's
going
to
build
six
new
residential
buildings,
as
well
as
a
new
community
and
child
care
space
in
out
of
pan.
R
It's
located
within
the
our
only
smart
growth
overway
District,
which
is
a
state
program
designed
to
encourage
diverse
housing
developments,
although
it
doesn't
fall
directly
within
the
boundaries
of
plant
Mattapan,
it
aligns
with
many
of
the
aspects
of
the
vision
there
in
that
plant.
It's
it's
a
great
example
and
we've
got
a
chance
to
visit
two
life's
development.
Another
part
of
Boston
very
impressed
and
excited
about
the
the
impact
of
this
development
and
finally,
I
want
to
thank
our
members
of
the
board
for
the
discussion.
R
R
As
I
said
about
our
critical
staff
members,
it's
important
that
we
create
an
environment
where
we
can
communicate
and
better
understand
each
other's
opinions
so
that
we
can
build
consensus
together
and
move
forward
and
this
board
that's
one
of
the
purposes
of
this
board
is
to
create
that
convening
so
I'm
always
happy
to
be
part
of
whatever
discussion
we
have.
R
We
ask
this
board
to
take
important
to
some
of
the
most
important
questions.
The
city
deals
with
every
every
month,
so
I'm
not
surprised
that
there's
a
range
of
opinions
about
important
policy
matters,
I,
welcome
it
and
look
forward
to
being
part
of
up
with
that.
I'll
pass
it
back
to
you,
chair
Rojas,
and
hopefully
we
can
now
end
tonight's
meeting.
A
Before
before
I
forget
I
know
we
announced
that
that
Mr
Whiteside
is
leaving
so
so
just
wanted
to
thank
him
as
well
for
his
for
his
service
and
with
that
I
need
a
motion
to
adjourn
this
meeting.
