A
H
Hello
good
afternoon,
mr.
chairman
director,
Goldman
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the
born.
Excuse
me
I'm
here
to
respectfully
request
that
the
board
vote
to
authorize
the
advertising
and
issuance
of
a
request
for
proposals
for
the
disposition
and
development
of
partial
22-a
located
at
151
Lennox
Street
in
the
south
and
urban
renewal
area.
In
the
lower
Roxbury
section
of
Boston,
the
RFP
will
contain
development
guidelines
seeking
a
community
center
or
mixed-use
development
or
any
other
related
community
development
use.
Here's
a
map
showing
this
exact
location.
H
H
It
also
is
bordered
by
Lennox
Street
to
the
south
and
the
Camden
public
housing
development
to
the
rear,
douglas
plaza
mixed-use
income.
Housing
development
is
located
directly
across
the
street
on
Tremont
Street.
The
parcel
is
being
is
being
currently
licensed
by
the
People's
Baptist
Church
for

BPD,
a
staff
held
a
community
meeting
with
the
cooperation
of
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
on
May
25th
2017
at
the
people's
Baptist
Church
at
8:30
Tremont
Street.
H
We
advertised
this
meeting
in
the
Baystate
banner
l,
Panetta
and
El
Mundo
newspapers
and
email
blasts
were
transmitted
to
the
neighborhood
neighborhood
mailing
list
by
the
BPD,
a
and
by
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
Roxbury
liaison.
The
purpose
of
our
meeting
was
to
have
a
conversation
with
neighbor
regarding
their
preferences
for
uses
of
the
parcel.
The
meaning
was
well
attended
with
approximately
45
people
and
they
all
provided
a
lot
of
feedback
to
us.
A
two-week
comment
period
followed
this
meeting,
during
which
we
received
several
support
letters
for
a
community
center
use
for
this
parcel.
H
So
that's
the
community
center.
You
seem
to
be
the
most
popular
thing
that
the
neighborhood
was
advocating,
for.
It's
therefore
recommended
that
the
secretary
be
authorized
to
advertise
the
RFP
for
the
disposition
and
development
of
this
parcel
for
a
community
center,
mixed-use
development
or
other
related
community
development
use.
So
we're
keeping
we're
having
sort
of
an
open
as
well
as
community
center
we're
calling
for
related
community
development
uses
in
order
to
encourage
other
other
responses
to
our
RFP
as
well.
H
H
Probably,
how
we'll
we'll
probably
list
all
of
those
in
the
development
guidelines,
so
it
will
be
really
probably
you
know
when
we
do
evaluate
proposals
were
sort
of
evaluating
them
against
each
other.
So,
probably
again,
it's
a
comparative
process.
So
the
one
you
know
community
center
would
probably
you
know,
be
rated
higher,
but
it
will
be
kind
of
a
function
of
what
we
get
in
for
proposals.
I
H
There
are
a
few
various
neighborhood
groups
that
are
sort
of
organizing
together
and
you
know
there's
a
few
potential.
It
appears
to
us
so
there's
a
few
potential
interested
groups
that
that
could
come
forward.
Of
course,
they
have
to
you
know,
get
everything
together
in
order
to
respond,
but
we
would
do
our
usual
newspaper,
advertising,
email,
blasts,
central
register,
city
record
and
so
on
at
our
website,
of
course,.
C
E
H
A
Okay,
if
you
wanna
okay,
item
number,
six
I'll
read:
it
request
authorization
to
advertise
an
issue,
a
request
for
proposal
for
long
term,
lease
and
development
for
the
remaining
portion
of
parcel
P
12,
located
at
290
Tremont
Street
in
the
South
called
urban
renewal
area
for
mixed-use
development.
Great.
H
Thank
you,
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
I'm,
here
to
request
that
the
secretary
be
authorized
to
advertise
an
issue,
a
request
for
proposals
for
the
long
term,
lease
and
development
of
a
portion
of
parcel
P
12,
which
is
located
at
290
Tremont's
Street
in
the
South
Cove
urban
renewal
area.
It's
in
the
Chinatown
Midtown
cultural
section
of
the
city
you
can
see
here
to
the
left
of
the
site
is
a
tough
sparking
garage
and
to
the
right
of
it
is
the
Double
Tree
Hotel
that
was
the
former
site
of
don
bosco
high
school.
H
H
The
site
has
been
operated
as
a
parking
lot
by
private
parking
operators
on
behalf
of
the
BR
a
for
a
number
of
years,
there's
a
picture
of
the
parking
lot.
This
parking
is
utilized
primarily
by
visitors
to
Tufts,
Medical
Center
and
the
theater
and
theater
district
patrons
in
terms
of
zoning.
The
site
is
in
the
Midtown
cultural
district,
general
area
and
within
a
housing
priority
area
overlay
district,
which
limits
building
height
to
250
feet
by
right.
H
However,
the
Federal
Aviation
Administration
permits
a
building
height
of
360
feet
at
this
site,
so
with
zoning
relief
and
fAA
Massport
approval,
additional
height
could
be
achieved
here.
In
addition,
because
the
South
Cove
urban
renewal
plan
does
not
presently
permit
housing
on
P
12,
it's
anticipated
that
we
would
seek
the
adoption
of
a
minor
modification
to
the
urban
renewal
plan.
H
The
objective
for
redevelopment
of
parcel
P
12
is
to
create
a
dense
mixed
used,
infill
development
on
an
underutilized
public
parcel
that
would
prioritize,
affordable
housing
and
a
vibrant
streetscape
environment
at
the
ground
level.
Development
on
the
site
must
therefore
be
sensitive
and
responsive
to
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
and
institutional
uses,
and
should
aspire
to
improve
the
existing
context
beyond
the
boundaries
of
this
development.
This
is
a
long-awaited
opportunity
to
create
a
significant
number
of
income
restricted
units
in
an
area
that
has
experienced
market
rate
development
pressures.
H
As
a
result,
the
goal
is
for
at
least
half
of
the
units
to
be
income
restricted
to
address
neighborhood
resident
displacement,
which
is
a
strong
concern
of
both
area
residents
and
the
City
of
Boston.
In
order
to
offer
a
range
of
housing
opportunities,
there
is
a
preference
for
a
mix
of
home
ownership
and
rental
units
for
the
rental
units.
The
community
is
requesting
that
the
developer
maximize
the
number
of
units
targeting
households
in
the
range
of
30%
to
60%
of
the
area
median
income
and
for
the
homeownership
units.
H
In
addition,
the
fact
the
community
favors
that
the
project
maximize
the
number
of
family
sized
units,
the
community,
has
also
discussed
the
possibility
of
a
rental
subsidy
to
fund
an
even
lower
area,
median
income
for
some
of
the
rental
units
and
has
requested
that
the
income
restrictions
remain
in
effect
in
perpetuity
BPD.
A
staff
is
researching
the
viability
and
legality
of
such
requests
and
will
and
will
incorporate
these
measures
into
the
development
guidelines
if
deemed
appropriate
and
feasible
in
terms
of
commercial
uses.
H
Most
recently
in
an
effort
to
move
towards
issuing
an
RFP,
the
BPD
a
commenced
a
series
of
community
conversations
with
cooperate
with
cooperation
for
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services.
Our
series
echoed
the
chinatown
master
plan
of
2010
and
was
informed
by
a
2015
community
visioning
workshop
in
Charette,
that
was
sponsored
by
the
Asian
Community
Development
Corporation
and
co-sponsored
by
the
Chinatown
neighborhood
center
Chinatown
main
streets
Chinese
consolidated
Benevolent
Association,
the
Chinatown
Community
Land
Trust,
the
Chinese
progressive
Association
and
the
Chinatown
residents
Association.
H
The
ultimate
objective
of
this
community
process
is
the
release
of
an
RFP
with
development
guidelines
that
were
crafting
in
conjunction
with
the
community.
In
order
to
deliver
this
long-awaited
development
to
the
neighborhood.
Our
series
of
bilingual
community
conversations
all
took
place
at
the
Josiah
Quincy
school.
This
was
a
series
of
meetings
we've
held
on
January
19
2017.
We
held
a
community
workshop
with
bilingual
translation
and
facilitation
at
breakout
tables
on
April
27th
of
2017.
We
facilitated
a
community
dialogue
that
summarized
the
January
workshop
and
presented
an
outline
for
draft
development
guidelines,
On
June
27th
2017.
H
We
facilitated
a
discussion
of
public
comments
received
on
the
draft
development
guidelines.
All
of
these
meetings
featured
robust
discussions
with
individual
residents
from
both
Chinatown
and
Bay
Village,
as
well
as
institutional
stakeholders
in
the
neighborhood.
These
well
attended
meetings
were
advertised
in
the
sampan
and
world
journal
newspapers
in
both
English
and
Chinese.
In
addition,
notices
were
posted
on
the
BPD,
a
website
and
calendar
and
email
transmissions
were
sent
to
Chinatown
and
Bay
Village
neighborhood
lists,
as
well
as
those
who
had
signed
up
for
updates
on
the
BPD
a
website
and
those
attending
previous
meetings.
H
As
a
key
part
of
these
conversations
with
the
community,
we
posted
the
draft
development
guidelines
in
the
BPD
a
website
for
three
week
comment
period.
As
a
result,
we
received
detailed
comment:
letters
from
the
Chinese
progressive
Association,
the
Bay
Village
neighborhood
association,
the
Asian
community
development
corporation,
the
Chinatown
Community
Land
Trust,
the
Wang
YMCA
of
Chinatown
and
Tufts
Medical
Center.
This
work
has
allowed
us
to
craft
and
draft
a
thoughtful
and
comprehensive
RFP.
H
So
pending
receipt
of
an
appraisal
on
the
site
and
pending
the
process
to
seek
a
minor
modification
to
the
urban
renewal
plan,
we
are
very
pleased
to
be
poised
to
deliver
an
RFP
that
will
hopefully
yield
a
development
that
will
meet
the
needs
of
both
the
community
in
the
city.
It's
therefore
recommended
that
the
board
vote
to
authorize
the
issuance
and
advertisement
of
this,
our
enthalpy
okay,.
A
No
room
for
questions.
Okay,
a
motion
is
in
order.
C
C
A
Request:
authorization
to
advertise
an
issue,
a
request
for
proposals
for
the

Seaport
neighborhood
Matthew
great.
J
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
members
of
this
board
director
golden
secretary
Thomas,
my
name
is
Matt
Moran
I'm,
a
senior
transportation
planner
here
with
the
PvdA
and
I'm
here
to
ask
for
permission
to
advertise
the
Thompson
Place
network
analysis
and
design
RFP.
So
if
you
are
not
familiar
with
Thompson
place,
it
is
approximately
two
blocks,
long
in
the
Seaport
District
between
Seaport,
Boulevard
and
Congress
streets.
J
It's
a
public
way
open
to
I'm;
sorry,
a
private
way
open
to
public
travel,
as
you
might
know,
there's
a
jersey
barrier
disconnecting
it
from
seaport
Boulevard
at
the
end
effectively
making
it
a
dead
end.
However,
it's
long
been
envisioned
as
a
part
of
the
broader
seaport
and
waterfront
network
transportation
network
to
provide
important
north-south
connection
between
the
a
Street
corridor
and
the
future
fanfare
Boulevard
just
to
the
north.
J
But
in
order
for
it
to
function
correctly,
we
are
seeking
permission
to
issue
this
RFP.
That
would
look
at,
among
other
things,
analysis
to
confirm
the
validity
or
the
continued
validity
of
this
assumption
and
provide
key
technical
details
for
the
designs,
such
as
signal
timing,
location
of
signals,
Road,
striping
and
other
key
issues.
Of
course,
there
also
has
to
be
a
community
process.
This
would
be
part
of
the
RFP
as
well
to
get
input
from
local
neighbors
and
also
stakeholders
along
the
streets.
Funding
for
this
is
from
two
previously
permitted.
J
J
Certainly
could
be
in
the
future.
We
haven't
identified
them
as
of
now,
but
it's
specifically
for
this
street
to
function
correctly.
We
believe
that
it
is
important
to
have
a
consultants
come
on
board
just
to
provide
that
technical
background,
expertise
for
the
proper
signalling
and
Road
striping,
and
then
100%
design
for
the
street
I
guess.
B
J
Thank
you
for
the
question,
so
my
supervisor,
my
boss,
Fitzgerald
beer,
provide
more
detail
but
answer.
K
With
that
introduction,
Thank
You
Trevor
to
members
of
the
board
director
Gould
instructor
hip
points.
Obviously
this
is
a
very
critical
issue.
We've
been
doing
a
ton
of
analysis
both
with
the
help
of
development
teams,
especially
most
creation
with
the
Seaport
squared.
You
know,
NPC
process
that
we've
really
been
looking
at
the
bigger
Network.
We
just
recently
completed
the
self
Austin
sustainable
transportation
plan
just
a
couple
years
ago,
where
we
took
a
very
comprehensive
multi
modal
analysis
approach
to
the
whole
neighborhood
working
with
math
stop
mass
court,
the
Convention
Center.
K
So
it's
easier
to
it's
one
thing
to
project
it
into
the
future,
but
the
reality
of
actually
opening
the
street
is
going
to
really
require
some
detailed
analysis,
especially
at
Congress
and
8th,
Street
and
I
know.
If
you
know
that
intersection
very
well
but
Thompson
and
H
Street
come
through
at
kind
of
dalla
intersection
with
Congress,
and
we
really
need
this
deep
analysis
of
how
that
signal
can
be
upgraded
in
function
that
we're
not
croaking
Congress
in
a
street.
So
it's
really
going
to
be.
K
B
K
In
the
bottom
architecture,
you
know
you've
seen
some
growing
pains
out.
There
I
think
our
longer-term
projections
from
the
master
planning
work
or
the
transportation
master
plan
work.
I'll
call.
It
really
saw
I
think
there's
residential,
that's
catching
up
to
counter
the
office
and
commercial
uses
that
have
come
online.
I
think
that
once
the
land
used
to
start
to
balance
out
better
you'll
see
it
hopefully
a
less
of
a
congestion
problem.
K
I
think
we're
continuing
to
focus
on
transit
improvements,
looking
at
every
way
possible
to
improve
the
Silver
Line,
which
we
know
is
at
capacity
we're
starting
to
look
at.
What's
the
next
generation
of
transit
improvements
in
the
Seaport,
we're
looking
at
Congress
Street
BRT,
which
is
a
recommendation
and
go
Boston.
For
example,
the
Lovejoy
Wharf
North
Station
to
fan
pure
water
shuttle
service
is
going
to
come
online,
hopefully
in
the
fall.
So
there's
these
other
elements
that
are
starting
to
come
online.
K
These
other
multimodal
elements
we're
looking
at
adaptive
signal
technology
for
the
whole
Seaport,
which
will
allow
the
signal
to
operate
and
communicate
much
better.
It's
kind
of
latest
technology,
so
I
think
you
know
we're
constantly
working
on.
We
have
an
implementation
group
that
came
out
of
the
plan,
we're
working
with
mast
out
on
a
regular
basis
to
try
to
implement
all
these
recommendations,
so
I
think
yeah,
there's
some
growing
pains
we're
still
catching
up.
I.
K
B
K
K
It's
kind
of
the
inverse
demand
on
the
network
where,
hopefully,
a
lot
of
people
are
walking
to
downtown,
for
example,
or
taking
transit
in
the
peak
periods,
but
it
tends
to
be
kind
of
a
more
dispersed
impact
on
the
transportation
network,
a
different
impact,
whereas
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
times
going
out
and
all
the
office
workers
are
coming
in,
for
example,
is
what
I
mean
by
that.
That
balance
really
helps,
and
hopefully
you
have
residents
that
are
also
maybe
working
an
area
that
don't
even
get
in
a
car.
K
K
Will
it
actually
induce
more
driving
because
it's
this
great
network
but
I,
think
it
will
help
with
vehicular
behavior
when
it's
autonomous
so
to
answer
a
question,
we
haven't
it's
hard
I,
don't
know
of
anyone
that
to
actually
figure
out
a
way
to
factor
it
into
the
future
as
far
as
how
it
impacts
congestion,
we
haven't
taken
that
look
yet
or
that
layer
yet,
but
I
think
is
that
technology
evolves.
I,
think
we're
all
excited
about
the
possibilities
of
helping
to
regulate
congestion.
L
I
would
just
add
that,
so,
while
there
are
challenges
right
now
in
knowing
what
the
exact
impacts
of
autonomous
vehicles
will
be
on
congestion
and
traffic
patterns,
we
certainly
do
think
that
there
will
be
a
sizeable
impact
on
parking
needs
in
the
future.
That
is
some
place
where
we
can
get
ahead
of
it
and
start
to
plan
in
our
buildings
and
thinking
about
what,
where
we
can
be
more
adaptable
in
our
parking.
L
So
if
you're
building
to
a
certain
parking
ratio
now
making
sure
that
parking
isn't
adaptable
for
other
uses
in
the
future
as
the
needs
for
that
parking
become
more
obsolete,
so
we
certainly
are
taking
account
for
it
there,
as
it
relates
to
congestion,
I.
Think
it's
yet
to
be
seen
exactly
what
the
impacts
will
be
on
traffic
patterns.
But
it
will
be
that's
an
emerging,
I,
think
area
of
research,
and
we
would
want
to
be
incorporating
it
as
soon
as
there's
kind
of
a
sense
of
best
practices
or
ways
to
start
to
incorporate
that.
A
Any
further
questions
from
the
board:
okay,
hearing,
none
emotions
in
order;
second,
all
those
in
favor,
aye,
hosed
eyes
have
it.
Thank
you.
Thanks.

M
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board
director
golden
and
secretary
Polhemus,
we're
here
before
you
this
evening
to
request
an
extension
to
the
final
designation
from
only
a
Partners
LLC.
As
you
aware,
this
project
is
the
mail
Nia
Hotel
and
Residences
project
property
owned
by
this
agency
and
shared
with
NASA.
At
the
current
URI
developer,
which
includes
herb
Anika,
has
been
working
very
diligently
on
significant
components
of
the
projects
they
have
successfully
completed,
the
use
of
a
mass
works
infrastructure
grant
and
that
scope
has
been
completed,
which
is
a
very
good
milestone.
M
They've
also
begun
to
work
on
the
hotel
component
having
having
completed
the
financing
for
the
hotel
component
and
are
now
in
the
finishing
stages
of
scheduling
the
finance
closing
for
the
residential,
as
well
as
revisions
to
the
site
plan
and
design
for
the
residential
component,
which
are
part
of
a
unnecessary
completion
for
final
designation.
This
extension
really
allows
for
them
to
complete
that
work
in
an
appropriate
amount
of
time
and
to
make
sure
that
the
finance
close
of
residential
is
completed.
M
I'll
also
note
that,
throughout
this
process,
the
developer
team
has
been
working
diligently
with
the
roxbury
strategic
master
plan,
Oversight
Committee,
in
consideration
on
jobs
related
to
the
project
overall,
not
only
construction
jobs,
but
permanent
and
Oversight
Committee
has
also
expressed
their
support
for
this.
For
momentum,
happy
to
answer
the
questions
and
also
member
the
developer
team
is
here
if
they're
cousins
as
well.
Okay,.
O
M
The
recommendation
has
been
that
there
be
a
for
lack
of
better
saying,
there's
a
third
part
agreement
that
will
that
the
groups
like
the
Boston
Jobs
coalition,
as
well
as
a
committee,
want
to
be
able
to
review
and
have
access
to
the
given
the
fact
that
the
hotel,
for
example,
is
being
financed
to
new
markets,
tax
credits
through
mass
housing,
Investment
Corporation,
em,
hick,
mass
housing
investor
cooperation
has
also
expressed
an
interest
in
enforcing
that
wage.
So
there
are
levers.
Well,
we
can't
legislate
as
an
agency
out.
M
M
A
Okay,
just
no
further
questions;
emotions
in
order;
second,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
eyes
have
it
Thank,
You
Diana.

you.

That's
important
to
level
it
off,
but
they
don't
want
to
do

good
afternoon.
Q
Mr.
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary
Georgia
golden
we're
approached
through
the
mayor's
office
and
neighborhood
services
by
the
John
F
Kennedy
Family
Service
Center,
which
operates
the
seasonal
farmers
market
over
at
the
Bunker

Mall
that
currently
operated
along
Main
Street
on
the
sidewalk.
You
can
see
where
the
red
block
is:
that's
John,
Boyle,
Reilly,
Park,
so
long,
Main
Street,
they
have
a
very
wide
sidewalk.
Q
Yet
they've
been
running
them
at
the
farmers
market
there
for
the
past
several
years
and
like
farmer's
markets
around
the
city
has
become
very
successful
and
they've
outgrown
their
space
and
they
want
to
expand
a
little
bit
into
John
Bull
rally.
Pack,
it's
a
sunken
Park
right
there
at
the
corner
of
Austin
and
Main
Street
at
the
Bunker
Hill
Mall.
It's
a
nice
little
pocket
park,
it'll
be
a
great
feature
for
them.
It's
weekly
on
Wednesdays
runs
through
the
spring
through
the
fall,
so
it's
something
that
we're
happy
to
do.
Q
A
Are
there
any
questions
on
the
board
hearing,
none
motions
in
order?
Second,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
I
said.
Thank
you.

requests
authorization
to
enter
into
a
license
agreement
with
the
cap,
Long
Walk
LLC
for
the
use
of
a
portion
of
long
walk
from
the
downtown
waterfront
urban
renewal
area
for
demolition,
lay
down
space
Richard.
So.
Q
Chairman
we
were
approached
by
cap
Long,
Wharf
LLC,
which
of
the
new
owned
is
of
the
custom-house
block,
which
is
the
building
that's
adjacent
to
the
chat
house
restaurant
there.
So
they
came
in
they've
done
they
they're
in
the
process
of
doing
a
full
renovation
of
the
building
they're
trying
to
improve
the
while
they're
trying
to
get
rid
of
the
water
flow
in
the
basement,
and
one
of
the
things
that
they
have
to
do
is
bring
in
construction
equipment
and
the
construction
dumpsters.
Q
Because
of
the
fire
lanes
at
that
location
and
because
of
the
you
know,
the
closeness
of
the
water.
On
the
other
side,
this
is
really
the
only
location
that
they
can
put
those
dumpsters.
They
were
hoping
to
get
there
right
after
sale,
Boston
on
June
23rd,
so
I
probably
have
to
change
some
of
the
dates.
Q
They
still
haven't
mobilized
that
location,
but
one
of
the
things
they
have
to
do
is
they
have
to
put
down
a
sufficient
amount
of
surface
prep,
because
we
have
all
granted
out
there
and
in
order
not
to
impact
any
of
the
granite
they're
going
to
be
putting
down
wood
and
a
very
dense
fibrous
fabric
that
will
go
underneath
that
dumpster,
so
there's
no
damage
or
certainly
minimize
damage
at
that
location,
so
we're
basically
helping
them
out
in
their
attempts
to
get
this
building
renovated
and
I've
been
going
again.
Okay,.

Chairman
Burke,
an

director
golden
secretary
polina's,
the
proponent
of
114,
or
lean
Street
City
Realty
LLC
filed
a
radically
D
application
on
May
the
15th
proposing
a
five-story
residential
development
in
East
Boston.
The
public
meeting
was
held
on
June
the
5th
at
the
East
Boston
neighborhood
health
center
in
Merrick
Square.
The
comment
period
concluded
on
June
the
16th.
The
public
meeting
had
a
great
turnout.
The
proposal
was
exceptionally
well
received.
The
proposed
project
has
overwhelming
support
from
the
community.
It
also
has
the
support
of
the
mayor's
office
and
City
Council
of
salimah
Tina.
R
The
proposed
project
is
seeking
zoning
relief
for
several
variances.
The
DPH
staff
believe
that
the
proposed
project
is
consistent
within
the
existing
context
and
ongoing
development
in
East
Boston
and
after
considerable
review
of
the
design.
The
requested
variances
are
appropriate
to
the
proposal.
The
proposed
project
is
subject
to
the
illusionary
development
policy
and
provides
380
units,
and
at
this
time
I
would
like
to
introduce
attorney
Jeff

from
the
development
team
to
further
the
presentation.

of
the
board
directed
golden
secretary
Polhemus,
Jeff
Drago
from
the
law
office
of
Drago
and
Toscano,
representing
City
Realty
on
the
project
of
the
owners
of
114,
Orlean,
Street
and
I
also
have
with
me
from
embark,
d'artagnan
Brown
as
well
to
answer
any
design
questions
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
the
proposal
currently
at
the
site.
It's
an
underutilized
parcel
7,500
square
feet.
S
It's
a
garage
space
I'm
just
going
to
pop
up
right
there,
as
you
can
see,
is
the
existing
structure,
a
one-story
automotive
use
that
was
in
there
for
a
number
of
years.
It's
not
really
conducive
to
the
multi-family
residential
corridor
in
this
particular
area.
So
my
clients
are
proposing
a
five-story
residential
building
with
23
condominium
units
which
the
community
really
wanted.
This
be
to
foster
home
ownership
in
the
East
Boston
area
with
25
interior
parking
spaces.
S
The
unit
is
the
unit
is
comprised
of
11
one-bedroom
units,
11,
two
bedroom
units
and
one
three-bedroom
unit
as
well.
This
particular
zoning
district
is
a
3f
2,000.
As
mentioned
a
lot
square.
Footage
is
7,500
square
feet.
Our
proposed
gross
square
footage
is
29,000
385
square
feet
at
our
highest
point.
It
is
a
five-story
building
at
57
feet
nine
inches.
We
worked
diligently
with
the
Gold
Street
Community
Association,
as
well
as
the
abutters,
to
bring
in
a
number
of
Pullen's
all
the
way
from
the
second
floor,
all
the
way
to
the
fourth.
S
So
as
this
building
pulls
in
13
feet
and
8
feet
around
the
corridor,
the
fifth
floor
really.
The
fourth
floor
is
only
at
46
feet
at
its
highest
point,
so
that
fifth
floor
is
really
pulled
back,
not
to
cause
any
shadowing
to
the
surrounding
area.
That
just
gives
you
a
site
map
location.
One
of
the
most
attractive
point
to
this
project
is
its
close
proximity
to
both
airport
station,
as
well
as
Maverick
T
station,
making
it
a
great
commuter
place
to
live
for
folks
in
the
area.
S
Those
are
just
the
sight
pictures
all
of
our
parking
is
going
to
be
interior
parking
and
one
thing
we
heard
from
the
community,
although
it
is
close
to
the
tee,
is
they
wanted
to
have
a
high
parking
count?
So
we
are
over
a
one-for-one
in
this
particular
area.
We
also
really
concentrated
on
the
design
in
working
with
the
community
to
have
a
more
traditional
design
with
brick
on
the
exterior.
S
We
do
have
some
exclusive
roof
decks
on
the
top
floor
in
that
particular
section,
and
we
have
a
complete
glass
foyer
for
our
lobby,
which
folks
also
wanted
to
see.
As
you
can
see,
the
proposed
construction
is
at
5.5
million
to
6
million,
creating
50
construction
jobs.
The
developers
worked
with
the
gostrey
Association
come
up
with
a
community
benefits
package
right
around
$47,000.
They
made
a
significant
amount
of
upgrades
to
the
champ,
a
public
park
for
a
lot
of
the
seniors
to
have
raised
bed
gardens
for
them
to
use.
S
They
also
donated
a
computer
room
that
right
now
is
under
construction
at
the
Silesian
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
as
well
as
providing
a
number
of
tablets
to
one
of
the
local
schools
and
the
community
as
well.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
pause
and
myself
a
Titanian
can
answer
any
questions
that
the
board
may
have.
Okay,.
N
S
S
So
the
area
is
comprised
of
a
bunch
of
different
buildings
at
a
bunch
of
different
heights,
so
the
building
that's
about
our
nearest
butter.
To
the
right
hand,
side
is
the
gumball
Building,
which
is
about
seven,
and
a
half
stories
across
the
street
from
us
varies
from
four
and
a
half
some
five-story
buildings
with
also
commercial
structures.
There's
a
four
behind
us
and
working.
We
originally
at
a
six
story.
S
Building
we
brought
that
down
to
five
stories
and
then,
as
we
go
up
from
floors,
two
through
four
we've
pulled
that
in
from
varies
from
8
feet
to
5
feet
all
the
way
to
13.
We
should
get
to
the
top
floor,
so
I
think
those
pull
ends
on
the
building,
as
well
as
taking
off
that
six.
We'll
really
addressed
a
number
of
the
concerns,
but
still
allow
the
develop
to
come
up
with
a
really
good
product
and
a
condominium
building
itself.
A
No
further
questions
or
motion
is
in
order
Seco.
Second,
all
those
in
favor,
hi
folks,
I,
haven't
thanked.
You
item
number
14

John.
Thank.
R
You,
mr.
chairman,
this
sounds
like
a
carbon
copy
of
the
previous
one,
but
it
is
a
different
proponent.
10-16
average
street
is
proposed
by
KNK
development
incorporated
they
filed
a
radical
ad
application
on
May
the
16th.
It's
a
four-story
residential
building,
a
public
meeting
was
held
on
June
8,
also
at
the
East
Boston
would
held
Saturday
mavericks
square.
The
comment
period
concluded
on
June
the
16th,
the
the
public
meeting.
We
we
had
a
very
good
turnout
for
that.
The
proposal
was
well
received.
R
The
proposed
project
has
a
significant
support
from
the
community
and
it
also
has
the
support
of
the
mayor's
office
and
City
Council
salimah
Tina.
This
project
is,
is
also
seeking
zoning
relief
pretty
much
the
same.
The
answers
staff
believe
that
the
project
is
consistent
within
the
existing
context
of
ongoing
development,
the
East
Boston
neighborhood
and
after
review
of
the
design,
the
requested
variances
are
appropriate
for
the
proposal.
The
proposed
project
is
subject
to
IDP.
S
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
board
director
Golan
secretary
Polhemus,
Jeff
Drago,
again
with
Drago
and
Toscano
I,
am
the
attorney
for
the
applicant
KNK
development
or
as
Pernik,
who
was
here
behind
me
and
also
joy
from
Khalsa
who's,
the
architect
on
the
project.
As
was
mentioned,
this
particular
building
proposal
right
now
as
it
stands,
was
also
an
automated
you,
automotive
use
industrial
parcel
that
we
heard
loud
and
clear
from
the
community
of
East
Boston.
They
wanted
to
see
something
that
was
definitely
more
conducive
to
this
area
in
the
way
of
condo
development.
S
So
again,
this
particular
proposal
is
to
erect
a
four-story
residential
building
with
19
units
and
21
parking
spaces.
This
particular
project
had
over
a
year
of
community
outreach
and
working
with
both
via
butters
and
again
the
go
Street
Association,
the
go
Street
Association
again
really
concentrated
on
the
parking
count
as
parking
is
an
issue.
Although
we
are
hops,
given
a
jump
from
Maverick
T
station
again
walking
distance
13
of
the
units
will
be
two-bedroom.
Units
six
will
be
one-bedroom
unit
and
again,
as
a
three
f2000.
S
This
particular
lot
is
9,000
square
feet
proposed
gross
square
footage.
20,000
111
and
then
it
has
a
first-floor
garage
that
adds
about
twenty
two
thousand
five
hundred
and
forty
four
square
feet.
The
building
height
of
this
particular
project
is
now
39
feet
three
inches,
so
it
is
a
four-story
building.
When
we
had
first
come
out
to
the
community,
we
were
proposing
five
storeys
and
21
units.
So
in
reconfiguring
this
building
we
were
able
to
take
off
a
floor
which
the
folks
in
the
neighborhood
did
want
to
see.
S
We
actually
match
the
height
of
the
building,
directly
adjacent
the
two
buildings
to
the
left
of
us
that
again
it's
just
a
sitemap
and
that
just
shows
you
sort
of
the
mix
of
development
up
and
down
that
area.
As
you
can
see,
there's
a
number
of
four-story
buildings
right
within
that
effort,
Street
or
lean
Street
corridor.
That's
our
first
floor
plan
that
includes
the
parking
all
and
our
lobby
in
the
first
floor.
One
thing
we
also
did
hear
from
the
community
is
again
the
need
for
homeownership
in
this
area.
S
That's
why
my
client
had
moved
forward
with
a
condominium
plan.
The
exterior
we
originally
came
out
with
a
more
modern
approach.
They
asked
us
to
bring
that
back
to
a
traditional
look
with
a
lot
of
brick
on
the
exterior,
as
you
can
see,
with
the
bays
in
front,
creating
some
additional
open
space
just
to
go
back
to
the
first
slide.
My
client
committed
$25,000
for
community
benefits
the
pier
Spock
sailing
program,
something
that
all
of
our
elected
officials
and
community
really
was
trying
to
foster
and
then
see
continued
to
grow.
S
I'm
sorry
yeah
I
think
we
did.
We
can
we
just
missed
out.
O
S
A
T
During
these
iterations,
a
residential
component
did
not
change
and
were
contemplated
to
be
rentals
on
June
16,
2017
2017,
the
proponent
submitted
a
second
order
project
change
to
convert
the
residential
units
from
rentals
to
condominiums.
Your
vote
today
would
approve
that
change
and
allow
the
be
PDA
to
terminate
the
existing,
affordable
rental
housing
agreement
and
enter
into
a
new,
affordable
housing
agreement
for
the
same
five
IDP
units
that
were
designated
as
before.
All
other
aspects
of
the
project
will
remain
the
same
as
previously
approved
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Ok,.
B
B
T
What
I
will
say
for
this
particular
neighborhood
in
most
and
all
the
projects
said
that
I've
had
an
active
role
and
there
has
been
a
strong
desire
to
seem
home
to
see
homeownership
units
over
rentals,
that's
just
through
being
out
there
in
the
field
and
just
conducting
the
community
processes.
There
is
not
an
actual
market
study
that
we
refer
to
when
making
this
one
reviewing
these
type
of
changes.
A
Further
questions
from
the
board
hearing
on
emotions
in
order.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
aye

you.

Wow
again.
T
Good
afternoon,
chairman
Burke
director
golden
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the
board.
The
item
before
you
this
evening
is
the
proposed
pipe
fitters
Association
local
537
training,
an
office
'silly
project
in
Dorchester.
The
project
site
is
located
at

is
currently
occupied
by
two
structures,
one
of
which
is
the
existing
training
and
office
facility
for
the
pipefitters
local
537

The
proposed
project
before
you
today
consists
of
the
demolition
of
the
structures
that
currently
occupy
the
site
in
the
construction
of
a
new

T
Seventy
thousand

The
proposed

will
also
include
two
surface

lots
that
will
accommodate
approximately
116
vehicles
prior
to
formally
begin
in
the
article

reprocess.
The
performance
submitted
a
letter
of
intent
on
March
3rd
2017.
T
This
led
to
the
formation
of
an
8
member
impact
advisory
group
on
subsequently
on
may
31st.
The
development
team
submitted
a
project

in
the
article

large
project
review

and
Tarragona
30-day
comment

which
concluded
on
June
30th.
During
that
time
frame
the
BPD
a
held
to
impact
advisory
group
meetings,
1
scoping
session
and
1
general
public
meeting.
T
Additionally,
during
this
timeframe,
the
development
team
also
conducted
additional
community
outreach
and
met
with
area
butter's,
local
elected
officials
area,
civic
associations,
including
the
McCormick
Civic
Association,
new
New
Market
Business
Association
and
the
Dorchester
Historical
Society,
all
of
whom
submitted
letters
of
support
for
the
project.
In
addition
to
this
earlier
this
afternoon,
I
received
two
letters
of
support.
One
egg:
excuse
me
one
from
the
New
Market
Business
Association
came
in
today
and
a
letter
support
from
city
councillor
Anissa
saavy
George
I'd
like
to
provide
that
for
the
record.
F
T
V
This
project,
we're
very
excited
about,
and
the
neighborhood
association
is
very
excited
about
it.
Also
we
met
with
them
on
numerous
occasions.
We
got
an
overwhelming
vote
of
support.
We've
been
a
great
partner.
We've
been
on
this
existing
site
for
over
50
years
now,
training
the
men
and
women
who
build
Boston
in
the
mechanical
construction
and
piping
trades
to
to
install
these
throughout
the
city.
V
We're
excited
about
it,
because
the
the
growing
trend
in
in
organizations
like
mine
across
the
country
is
to
relocate
these
training
centers
outside
the
city
limits,
because,
quite
frankly,
it's
cheaper
we're
bucking
this
trend
here
in
Boston.
This
is
where
we,
this
is
where
our
roots
are,
and
we
it's
with
very,
very
important
to
our
organization,
my
membership
to
stay
right
here
on
our
current
location
in
the
city
of
Boston
we
purchased.
V
Let
me
see
if
I
can
figure
out
how
to
use
this
yeah
just
have
a
pointer.
It
does
so
we
purchased
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
This
little
property
right
back
here,
it's
about
12,000
square
feet,
doesn't
sound
like
much,
but
this
it's.
It
was
integral
to
this.
This
project
right
here
as
you'll,
see
when
we
site
site
our
new
building.
V
This
is
a
view
of
the
building
the
existing
buildings
ready.
The
Eden
Street
project
is
going
right
here.
The
project
is
very
timely
because
it's
going
to
be
under
construction
and
the
completion
is
expected
to
be
right
around
the
same
time,
a
view
of
the
existing
city,
but
what
I'd
really
like
to
do
is
go
to
wash
siding.
This
is
the
siting
of
the
new
building.
V
Now
we're
increase
in
our
off
street
parking,
which
was
very
important
to
the
neighborhood
increasing
by
about
30
spots,
and
that's
not
including
our
our
peak
time
when
we
can,
when
we
can
Park,
do
some
tandem
parking
I'd
like
to
bring
to
your
attention
the
the
changing
of
landscape
from
an
industrial
style,
building
to
a
very
modern,
timeless
stone
facade
that
we've
chosen
by
our
architectural
team
of
speck,
Knoll
and
associates,
who
else
Bagnall
is
here
himself
and
Matt.
Formicola
is
the
project
leader
on
the
team.
V
If
you
could
see
through
the
process
going
along
with
the
BPD
a
we
extended
a
community
path
that
travels
from
Enterprise
Street
to
clap
Street,
it
improved
the
the
landscape
all
around
the
area,
to
transform
this
place,
just
like
the
Eden
Street
project
from
a
really
industrial
area
to
a
much
more
modern
look.
Some
of
our
other
community
benefits
include.
V
You
know
a
donation
to
the
Dorchester,
Historical
Society
and
with
hopes
of
come
out
commemorating
some
of
Dorchester
is
rich
labor
history.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
siding
improvements,
increased
off
street
parking,
trash
cans,
partnership
with
the
Boston
Police
Department
for
some
more
security
and
in
cameras
that
they
can
link
up
directly
to
that
site.
V
Some
of
our
proposed
site
materials
which
we
intend
on
using
is
you
know
if
you
want
to
take
a
look
at
this
nice
wire,
welded
wire
mesh
fence,
it's
a
quite
a
quite
a
step
up
from
the
chain-link
with
the
barbed
wire
that
we
have
there.
Currently,
you
know
some
nice
trash
receptacles,
which
were
also
agreed
to
donate
some
to
the
city
of
Boston
for
Boston
Street,
just
to
continue
to
improve
that.
V
V
The
building
will
be
the
you
know,
the
stacking
of
the
building
will
be
similar
just
a
little
shorter
than
the
across
the
street,
the
Eden
Street
project.
This
doesn't
do
it
full
justice,
but
it
I
think,
as
you
can
see,
our
professional
rendering
or
this
building
is
is,
is
quite
a
change
from
our
traditional
painted
sin.
The
block
and
brick
building
we're
super
excited
about
it
and
we
hope
you
ought
to.
We
really
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
tonight.
Okay,.
N
You
don't
have
a
question,
but
one
of
my
favorite
community
benefits
is
you
didn't
mention
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
it.
I,
really,
like
the
new
facility
auditorium
that
you're
making
available
to
the
community
as
a
gathering
space
and
performance
space
free
of
charge.
I
think
that
it's
just
a
really
good
community
benefit
for
this
area
and
I
just
learned
to
highlight
thank.
V
O
Brian
great
presentation:
it's
one
of
the
best-kept
secrets,
I
think
among
stability
rates
across
this
country,
on
what
we
offer
when
most
people
realize
so
residents,
minorities,
woman,
others
get
accepted
into
apprenticeship
programs
within
the
building
trades
across
this
whole
country
free
of
charge.
We
don't
accept
any
public
dollars.
It's
a
free
education,
it's
a
true
work
learned
program
and
when
you
graduate
as
a
professional,
pipe
fitter
or
plumber
or
electrician,
you
do
so
with
no
debt
whatsoever.
We
finance
all
our
own
programs.
We
finance
our
own
buildings
and
you
mentioned
dot.
O
Just
a
rich
labor
history
and
Dodger
scientists
started
making
some
notes
going
out
from
your
building
pipe
fitters
plumbers,
Mass
Ave,
Coppins
and
Dada
have
iron
workers
on
Old
Colony,
as
electricians
on
Freeport
Street,
the
painters
in
Roslindale
chic,
no
workers
and
Adams.
The
plaster
is
on
that
side,
street
off
of
Galvin,
Bulova
and
I'm
sure
there's
a
few
more
within
within
the
city,
Boston
all
paying
rent
while
training
people
in
graduating
residents
of
the
city,
with
no
debt
with
a
true
education
to
raise
them.
O
V
Job
thank
you
and,
if
I,
if
I
just
may,
you
know
one
of
the
one
of
the
reasons
that
I
was
so
passionate
about
about
staying
here
now,
we're
very
fraternal
and
in
generational
organization,
while
that
growing
trend
is
to
move
outside
the
city
limits
for
us,
it
makes
sense,
we're
training
the
people
who
live
and
work
in
the
city
of
Boston.
One
of
the
reasons
why
we're
building
a
brand
new
state-of-the-art
building
is
to
cut
down
on
down
time.
V
I
I
Would
just
add
that
I
hope
you
and
your
architects
will
submit
this
very
handsome
building
for
all
the
awards
that
it
would
be
available
to
because
that's
one
way
of
spreading
the
story
of
what's
going
on
within
the
building
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
your
continuing
commitment
to
the
city
and
to
the
training
that
you've
been
doing.
A
A
A
A

W
W
We
have
expended,
or
will
expend
after
a
disbursement
of
the
grants,
to
these
seven
organizations,
which
was
unanimously
recommended
by
the
executive
committee,
roughly
half
the
fund
about
$700,000
through
the
competitive
application
process
and
1.9
million
dollars
to
Smithfield,
and
as
you
can
see
from
the
memo,
the
grants
range
widely
in
size
from
three
thousand
dollars
up
to
the
one-point
million
dollars
that
I
mentioned
and
we're
supporting
a
variety
of
different
public
realm
improvements.
So
it's
it's
exciting.
W
N
A
Favor
hi
both
eyes
have
it.
Thank
you.

is
managed
by
the
Commonwealth's

and
it
is
one
which
we
as
an
agency
have
worked
in
collaboration
with
other
city
agencies
like
the
Department
of
Labor,
develop
development
and
now
currently,
the
mayor's
office
of
Economic

to
support
those
projects
that
are
either
being
proposed
by
for-profit
or
not-for-profit
developers
to
utilize
these
funds
for
very
important
interest
infrastructure
funding
improvements.
M
In
the
past
five
fiscal
years,
we
have
utilized
upwards
of
thirty
five
million
dollars.
Those
funds
come
through
this
agency
free
of
charge
and
are
dispersed
through
two
development
projects
which
are
deemed
worthy
by
the
executive
office
of
development,
as
well
as
sylia
Boston.
An
example
of
the
kind
of
project
which
we
have
successfully
utilized.
M
We
are
in
the
process
right
now,
working
with
Department
of
Labor
for
development,
as
well
as
the
office
of
Economic
Development,
to
identify
appropriate
projects
which
would
meet
the
state's
criteria
this
year,
particularly
focusing
on
affordable
housing
creation
and
job
creation
and
economic
development,
and
with
your
approval,
we
will
submit
applications
and
enter
into
appropriate
agreements

I
can
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
Based
on
that.
Okay.

Good
evening,
mr.
chairman
members,
the
board
madam
secretary
director
goal
I'm
Chris
Giuliani
Director
of
Finance
I,
have
two
items
for
your
consideration
this
evening
on
the
VRA
personnel
agenda,
Gary
Webster
appointment
as
project
manager
and
it's
a
development
of
review
department
and
changing
hours
for
Rita
labardi
in
the
compliance
department.
Thank.
A
Y
This
legislation,
which
has
the
overwhelming
support
of
the
Boston
City
Council
in
a
10
to
3
vote
earlier
this
spring,
would
allow
the
Winthrop
Square
proposed
development
to
move
forward
while
providing
the
city
of
Boston
an
opportunity
to
invest
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
into
our
neighborhoods
to
improve
our
parks
and
to
improve
our
affordable
public
housing.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
all
parties
going
forward
to
fulfill
any
requests
and
address
any
outstanding
concerns,
as
this
important
project
continues
throughout
its
public
comment
and
regulatory
processes,
principally
article
80
and
the
state's
NEPA
process.
Y
Just
last
night,
I
was
informed
that
the
the
house
committee
that
commissioner
cook
and
I
appeared
before
reported
the
bill
out.
That's
on
to
the
steering
policy,
steering
and
Policy
Committee
and
and
hopefully
very
soon.
It
will
be
before
the
full
house
Senate
for
a
vote,
we're
grateful
to
the
legislature
for
this
positive
action.
That's
occurring
as
we
speak
on
July
12th,
mayor
Walsh
and
the
BPD
a
released,
a
draft
performing
arts
facilities,
assessment
that
aims
to
understand
the
current
and
anticipated
venue
challenges
of
local
performing
arts
and
arts
organizations
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Y
The
release
of
the
draft
yesterday
kicks
off
a
30-day
comment
period
and
the
public
is
certainly
encouraged
to
review
the
assessment
and
submit
feedback
on
our
Boston
plans.
Org
site
the
BPD.
A
commissioned.
This
assessment
in
response
to
a
strategy
in
the
city's
bond
cinema
creates
plan
for
the
Arts
Boston
creates
states
that
the
city
of
Boston
must
support
the
availability,
affordability
and
sustainability
of
cultural
spaces
and
facilities
to
the
arts
and
cultural
organizations
of
all
sizes
in
Boston.
Y
We
certainly
look
forward
to
receiving
public
comment
and
and
witnessing
this
study
bear
fruit
to
the
arts
and
the
people
of
Boston.
As
you
may
recall,
BPD
a
staff
created
eight
working
groups
not
long
ago
to
focus
on
creating
solutions
and
implementing
the
recommendations
that
resulted
from
our
work
with
the
consultants
at
continuum
on
July
19th.
Y
The
co-chairs
of
the
eight
working
groups
that
we
have
created
internally
will
host
an
open
house
to
update
BPD
a
staff
on
the
progress
of
the
working
groups
in
to
encourage
staff,
who
may
not
yet
be
involved
with
these
reform
efforts
to
play
an
active
role
going
forward
in
the
next
phases
of
our
responses
to
the
continuum
analysis
of
our
operation,
and
our
mission
will
provide
the
board
with
an
F
update
on
this
work
at
a
future
board
meeting.
But
I'd
like
to
invite
you
all
to
take
a
look
at
our
progress
today.
Y
In
almost
every
board
meeting
we
have
a
significant
conversation
about
affordable
housing
and,
principally
as
it
relates
to
the
B
pda's
inclusionary
development
policy,
the
soap
called
IDP
program
over
the
next
month.
We
will
be
completing
our
first
report
on
the
inclusionary
development
policy,
highlighting
successes
of
the
program
through
2016
you'll,
hear
more
from
our
own
Tim
Davis,
our
housing
policy
manager
at
a
future
board
meeting
in
the
near
term,
but
I
wanted
to
provide
you.
Y
Some
key
highlights
tonight
of
what
you
will
see
detailed
in
that
document
when
it
is
complete
since
2000,
when
the
ID
program
came
into
being
1737,
on-site
and
off-site,
affordable
units
have
been
created,
of
which
229
13%
of
the
total
were
completed
during
the
calendar
year
2016.
So
a
lot
of
that
product
is
actually
coming
online
right
now,
through
2016
developers
have
made,
in
addition
to
creating
units
97
million
dollars
in
IDP
contribution.
These
funds
have
supported
the
completion
of
over
1070
income,
restricted,
affordable
housing
units
throughout
the
city
and
its
neighborhoods.
Y
An
additional
183
units
have
been
permitted
or
are
under
construction
right
now
and
finally,
I
think
this
is
important
when
you
think
of
our
role
in
the
creation
of
affordable
housing
as
it
relates
to
the
greater
whole.
All
the
combined
joint
efforts
of
city
agencies
in
generating
the
production
of
affordable
housing,
IDP
funds
paid
by
residential
developers
into
the
program
now
represent
30%
of
the
city's
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
resources
dedicated
to
the
creation
of
new,
affordable
housing,
while
in
contrast,
federal
resources,
contribute
22%
down
from
78%
before
the
IDP
program
existed.
Y
We're
going
to
say
goodbye
to
somebody
this
evening.
In
fact,
he'll
be
departing
tomorrow.
Today
marks
the
last
board
meeting
for
our
Director
of
Finance
Chris
Giuliani.
He
is
leaving
us
to
accept
a
position
as
associate
vice
chancellor
of
administration
and
Finance,
with
the
University
of
Massachusetts
at
Boston.
Chris
joined
us
in
November
2015,
a
few
months
after
we
completed
our
operational
review
with
McKinsey
and
company.
Y
Chris's
efforts
today
had
a
to
date,
have
included
a
strategic
budget
budget
plan
departmental
operating
budget
and
a
capital
plan
for
our
assets,
a
longer-term
forecasting
to
validate
the
soundness
of
our
major
expenditures.
These
include
capital
expenses
and
new
hires
in
a
full-time
budget
and
procurement
manager.
Y
These
reforms
have
addressed
past
deficiencies
and
have
have
positioned
us
for
future
success
in
our
reform
efforts
in
the
performance
of
our
mission
in
the
years
to
come.
Chris
and
his
staff
have
also
provided
you
on
this
board,
with
regular
detailed
updates
on
our
financial
context
in
the
budget,
which,
in
our
continuing
efforts
toward
transparency,
will
be
posted
on
our
website.
Y
We
fulfilled
our
promise
to
update
the
Boston
City
Council
on
our
budget
earlier
this
year
in
May,
and
one
of
the
key
recommendations
from
McKinsey
was
to
direct
our
focus
on
core
functions
of
planning
and
development
and
as
of
fiscal
year,
18
right
fosston,
an
Associated
nonprofit
that
has
done
excellent
work
is
now
transitioned
to
full
independence
and
we're
grateful
that
this
has
not
only
allowed
us
to
position
right
Boston
for
success,
but
again
allows
us
to
focus
on
our
core
missions
that
the
people
of
Boston
demand
and
expect
us
to
perform.
Well.
Y
Most
importantly,
our
agency
has
greatly
benefited
from
the
improved
interdepartmental
collaboration
and
coordination
between
our
finance
division.
Our
real
estate
division
in
our
legal
departments
as
we
continue
to
manage
our
major
financial
assets
and
make
major
financial
decisions
so
again,
thanks
to
Chris
Giuliani
for
his
hard
and
effective
work
here
at
the
VP
DA
on
behalf
of
the
people
of
Boston,
we
certainly
wish
him
well
in
the
journey
ahead.
Finally,
this
is
a
really
happy
bit
of
news.
Y
A
couple
days
ago,
I
received
a
message
from
Sam
Tyler,
who
was
executive
director
of
the
Boston
Municipal
Research
Bureau.
He
informed
me
formally
and
officially
that
our
chief
of
staff,
Heather
camposanto,
has
been
selected
to
receive
the
shattuck
award
and
again
as
a
reminder
to
those
here
as
well
as
those
viewing
at
home.
The
Shattuck
is
the
Academy
Award
of
public
service
in
the
city
of
Boston,
so
we
won't
be
heading
down
the
red
carpet
at
the
Dorothy
Chandler
Pavilion
Los
Angeles,
but
we
will
be
heading
over
to
a
hotel
nearby
on
September
19th.
Y
We
invite
you
to
join
us
to
celebrate
this
exciting
moment
for
all
of
us.
We
share
in.
In
this
experience,
everybody
who
works
here
is
overjoyed
with
this
decision
by
the
municipal,
Research
Bureau
and
the
shadek
selection
committee
hurray
for
them
for
making
this
selection
hooray
the
Heather
Kamp
Asano.
She
certainly
worthy
Heather
joined
us
17
years
ago.
As
an
intern,
she
went
on
upon
graduation
from
college
to
secure
a
position
as
a
project
manager,
a
senior
project
manager.
Y
Maybe
there
are
equals,
who
have
had
as
profound
an
impact
and
in
recent
history
on
life
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
I
can't
think
of
somebody
who
works
here
now
who
has
had
as
pervasive
and
his
concrete
effect
on
all
the
good
things
that
have
been
created
in
the
city
of
Boston
by
this
agency.
Heather
camposanto
has
touched
almost
all
of
it
over
the
past
17
years.
She's
done
magnificent
things
for
the
city
of
Boston,
magnificent
things
for
the
people
of
Boston
I,
think
she's
just
getting
going.
A
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
director
golden
I'm,
just
on
behalf
of
the
board,
I
want
to
congratulate
Chris
on
your
volunteer
new
job,
and
you
know
the
work
that
you've
done
here
in
a
short
time.
If
you've
been
here,
it's
noticeable
the
improvements
that
you've
made
contributions
that
you
made.
It
really
has
made
a
difference
to
our
agency
and,
on
behalf
of
the
board,
want
to
thank
you
and
congratulate
you
as
you
make
it
next
move.

advertised:
On

in
a

in
a

Agency
hearing
on
a

agency
BPD,
a
staff
members
will
first
present
their
case
in
a
subject
of
questioning
by
members
of

agency.
Thereafter.
A
Others

are
allowed
a
brief
period
for
rebuttal
if
they
so
desire
in
an
effort
to
accommodate
all
who
would
like

A
T
Afternoon,

The
item
before
you
this
evening
is
the
proposed
99
Summer
Street
project,
formerly
known
as
Hodge
boiler
works
in
East
Boston.
The
project
said,
is
currently
vacant
and
consists
of
an
approximately
107
thousand
square
foot
parcel
along
Boston
Harbor
adjacent
to
Lopresti
Park
and
across
the
street,
from
maverick
Landing
development
before
diving
into
the
current
iteration
of
the
project,
which
want
to
quickly
touch
on
the
brief
on
some
brief
history
on
the
proposal.
So
this
product,
the
project
was
original.
T
The
project
was
approved
on
December
21st
2004
by
the
BRE
Board.
At
that
time,
the
project
was
known
as
boiler
works.
The
approved
project
at
that
time
included
a
one
hundred.
Ninety
six
thousand
six
hundred
thirty
three
square
foot
development
that
included
116
residential
units,
164
off
street
parking
spaces,
a
42
slit
public,
marina
that
included
a
water
taxi
facility,
marina
building
and
a
public
cafe
development
at
that
time
also
included
an
atrium
bed
and
breakfast
facility
to
serve
as
its
facility
of
public
accommodation.
Since
that
time,
the
project
ownership
has
changed.
T
The
Davis
companies
acquired
the
site
and
submitted
a
notice
of
project
change
to
revise
certain
aspects
of
the
project
to
reflect
to
reflect
today's
market
and
a
PDA
development
plan
to
advance
the
revised
proposal.
Fast-Forward
to
today.
The
revised
provide
project
that
you
are
will
be
seeing
today
consists
of
approximately
126
thousand
square
foot
mix,
use
building
that
will
contain
119
residential
home
ownership
units
83
off
street
parking
spaces
and
a
facility
of
public
accommodation
comprises
70
7,200
square
feet
of
work
share
space.
T
Approximately
35,000
750
square
feet
of
the
project
site
will
be
used
as
public
open
space
and
includes
the
construction
of
a
240
linear
foot
missing,
link
of
the
East
Boston
Heart
Walk.
Six
of
the
119
residential
units
will
be
designated
as
inclusionary
development
policy
units,
in
addition
to
the
six
units
of
proponent,
will
pay
a
minimum
of
2.2
million
dollars
into
the
IDP
revenue
fund
for
the
remaining
units
prior
to
with
respect
to
article
80
prior
to
formally
beginning
the
article
80
review
process,
the
proponent
submitted
a
letter
of
intent
on
March
17th.
T
This
led
to
the
formation
of
a
a
new
ten
member
impact,
Advisory
Group
on
April
10th
of
proponent,
submitted,
a
notice
of
project
change
in
a
PDA
development
plan
to
formally
begin
the
article
80
review
process.
These
filings
triggered
a
45-day
comment
period
which
conclude
on
May
30th
during
that
timeframe,
the
BPD
a
held
to
impact
advisory
meetings,
a
scoping
session
and
one
general
public
meeting.
During
that
timeframe,
the
project
went
before
the
Boston
Civic
design
Commission
and
the
Commission
voted
to
approve
that
project
on
July
11th.
T
That's
important
to
note
that,
prior
to
in
during
the
article
ad
review
process,
the
development
team
also
conducted
their
own
community
outreach
and
met
with
the
butters
local,
local
elected
officials
and
area
civic
civic
associations,
including
a
Jefferies
Point
Neighborhood
Association
and
the
Maverick
Landing
Association
of
residents.
In
addition
to
that
early
earlier
this
afternoon,
I
received
a
letter
of
support
from
councilor
la
mattina
and
state
representative
Adrienne
Madero
I
like
to
provide
that
for
the
record.
T

Thank
you,
Errol

Mr.
chairman
members,

Lee
I'm,
with
a

we
represent,
did
Summer

Sumner

LLC,
which
is
an
affiliate
of

of
this
project,
I'd
like
to
introduce
Steven
Davis,
the
vice
president
of
the
Davis

the
project
proponent.
We
also
have
the
project
architect,
Brian

and
the
landscape,
architect,
John
Copley,
and
also
Paul
scape
ikkyo,
who
worked
on
the
community.
Z
Coordinating
all
of
the
community
outreach
efforts
that
led
to
today.
As
Raul
mentioned.
This
is
a
renewal
of
a
project
that
was
originally
permitted
14
years
ago
and
a
reconfiguration
of
that
project
which
suffered
through
two
national
recessions
and
therefore
never
got
bills.
So
the
BPD.
A
action
today
represents
a
major
step
forward
in
a
renewed
effort
to
redevelop
this
very
long
vacant
waterfront
site
in
East
Boston,
and
that
is
sandwiched
between
a
beautiful
park
and
other
residential
development.
Z
The
Davis
companies
is
the
national
real
estate,
investment
development
and
management
company,
and
it
has
the
expertise
and
the
skills
to
take
on
this
project,
as
well
mentioned.
It
already
has
BCD
C
approval.
We
also
have
Conservation
Commission
approval
and
we'll
be
launching
the
chapter
91
process
shortly,
I'd
like
to
introduce
Brian
O'connor,
who
will
take
you
through
the
design
of
the
project.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
AA
F
AA
Itself
is
located
as
a
Rebecca
mentioned
between
Lopresti
Park
on
this
side
and
Carlton
Wharf
on
the
other
side,
with
a
short
area
frontage
along
Sumner,
Street
and
then
up
against
the
harbor
on
the.
This
is
another
view
of
the
site
itself,
as
you
can
see,
where
we're
really
in
a
great
spot
against
Sumner
Street.
So
a
few
quick
views
of
the
existing
conditions.
This
is
on
Sumner,
looking
towards
the
city
on
the
adjacent
carlton
wharf
to
the
left
Lopresti
park
to
the
right.
This
is
standing
directly
in
front
of
the
site.
AA
Looking
at
the
adjacent
structure,
this
is
looking
a
little
bit
further
down
the
street
in
the
same
direction.
This
is
across
the
street
from
the
project
and
then
this
is
looking
down
down
Sumner
in
the
opposite
direction,
with
a
Presti
Park
in
the
harbor
on
the
left-hand
side,
and
you
can
see
one
Eddy
in
the
distance
there
on
the
right.
AA
The
site
itself
is
actually
been
designed
to
create
a
piece
of
very
active
frontage
along
Sumner
Street,
with
an
l-shaped
building
wrapping
around
a
Plaza
area
and
in
a
very
sort
of
detailed,
integrated
frontage
along
the
harbour.
Walk
what
we've
done
is
we've
actually
very
carefully
located
the
parking
below
the
building
in
this
area.
AA
We
also
have
five
residential
units
at
this
level
that
front
on
a
semi-private,
balcony
or
patio
area
out
here,
and
then
we
have
a
very
public
amenity
space
along
the
front
edge
and
between
the
amenity
space
and
the
main
entry
lobby.
We're
really
creating
an
entire
active
edge
along
some
rs3.
Access
to
the
parking
which
is
below
grade
is
from
this
location
on
the
London
Street
extension,
so
you
would
come
down
the
street
and
tuck
immediately
under
the
building
into
the
parking
level.
AA
This
is
the
parking
level
below
grade
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
we've
got
additional
bike
storage
parking
down
here
and
a
primary
core
up
into
the
building
fairly
straightforward,
quick
section
through
the
building.
The
harbor
is
to
the
right.
Sumner
Street
is
to
the
left.
You
can
see
the
section
up
here,
we're
cutting
through
the
amenity
space
at
the
lower
level
residential
floors,
and
then
you
can
see
the
parking
here
tucked
underneath
this
podium
area,
which
has
a
smooth
connection
down
to
the
harbour
walk.
AA
This
is
a
longer
section,
obviously
through
the
through
the
bulk
of
the
building,
with
the
plaza
behind
it
front.
Elevation
along
Sumner
Street
has
really
been
designed
to
create
a
level
here
at
the
second
floor
that
has
a
continuation
of
the
datum
that
really
exists
a
long
summer,
Street
we're
proposing
a
very
active
glassy,
ground-floor
main
entry
to
the
building
and
then
a
very
sort
of
quiet,
but
articulated
upper
level.
This
is
the
elevation
along
Lopresti
Park.
The
main
entry
to
the
building
is
wrapping
around
this
glass
corner.
AA
This
is
our
facility
of
public
accommodation
along
the
edge.
This
is
the
edge
of
Lopresti
Park
here,
and
the
harbour
again
on
the
right-hand
side,
see
the
elevation
facing
the
harbour
walk.
You
can
see
the
edge
of
carlton
wharf
over
here
for
scale
Lopresti
Park
is
to
the
left.
This
is
the
piece
of
the
building
right
here.
The
leg
of
that
L
shape
that
comes
down
towards
the
harbour
and
then
the
elevated
area
of
the
plaza
right
here
coming
down
and
engaging
the
harbour
walk.
AA
This
is
just
a
section
through
that,
where
you
can
see
the
parking
below
the
work
share,
facility
of
public
accommodation,
space
and
the
residential
levels
above.
This
is
a
view
along
the
London
Street
extension.
So
the
main
entry
to
the
garage
that
I
showed
in
the
plan
is
right
here.
Here's
the
front
corner
of
the
active
public
space
along
Sumner,
and
this
is
really
the
edge
of
the
park
along
that
entire
public
walkway
down
the
London
Street
extension
to
the
harbor
walk,
there's
a
section
through
that
area.
AA
So
you
can
see
the
relationship
again
of
that
Plaza,
elevated
plaza
to
the
parking
area
and
the
amenity
space
on
the
far
right
here.
You
can
also
see
that
little
shift
in
elevation
that
I
described
between
the
grade
level,
glass
frontage
on
Sumner
up
to
the
residential
level.
This
is
a
quick
view
down
Sumner
Street,
looking
east,
you
can
see
Carlton
Wharf
right
here.
AA
In
the
background,
this
is
a
little
dark,
but
you
can
start
to
see
some
of
those
datum
lines
that
we're
carrying
along
the
street
edge
main
entry
to
the
building
is
right
in
this
location,
glass
lobby.
Wrapping
around
the
corner-
and
this
is
the
existing
public
path
down
the
edge
of
Lopresti
Park,
here's
a
view
from
deep
in
Lopresti
Park.
Looking
back,
you
can
see
it
just
that
hint
of
Carlton
Wharf
around
the
edge
on
the
street
on
the
left-hand
side.
This
is
a
view
from
the
backside
of
Carlton
Wharf.
AA
The
harbor
would
be
immediately
to
your
left
and
you're
effectively
in
the
harbor
walk
area
here,
looking
at
how
are
our
plaza
here
and
the
edge
of
it
intersects
with
the
end
of
the
building
facing
towards
the
harbor.
This
is
a
view
down
Sumner,
looking
west
and
again,
I
think.
The
idea
here
is
just
to
show
the
contextual
relationship
of
the
building,
and
then
we
have
a
series
of
landscape
and
harbor
walk
connection,
slides
we're
happy
to
go
through
those.
Alternatively,
we're
happy
to
stop.
AA
A
Thank
you
great
well,
I
just
want
to
remind
you.
This
is
a
public
hearing.
So
does
that
conclude
your
presentation
it
does
play.
Thank
you.
Should
we
proceed
with
the
public
hearing
pot
before
we
have
questions?
Okay?
Is
there
anyone
that
would
like
to
speak
in
favor
of
this
proposal?
Please
step
right
up.
Please
step
right
up
state,
your
name
and.

Hi,
my
name
is
Alex
de
France
I'm,
a
resident
of
Jeffrey's
Point
in
East
Boston
I'm,
also,
the
executive
director
of
Pierce
Park
sailing
Center
to
the
community
nonprofit
that
teaches
kids
how
to
sail
in
East
Boston.
We
support
this
project.
I
support
it
personally
as
a
resident.
Also,
as
a
member
of
the
community
I
have
learned
a
lot
about
the
process
through
this
project
and
got
to
see
community
review.
The
Civic
design,
review
and
I
think
that
the
Davis
companies
has
done
a
great
job
of
taking
everybody's
feedback
and
integrating
it
into
the
plan.
AD
AD
I
think
they've
done
a
great
job,
connecting
Lopresti
Park
to
what
land
lease
and
the
other
developers
along
the
waterfront
doing
and
from
the
sailing
centers
perspective,
because
they're
turning
the
first
floor
into
shared
workspace,
we
have
the
opportunity
to
teach
wintertime,
after-school
programming
as
part
of
the
use
of
that
first
fort,
which
is
going
to
expand
the
amount
of
services
that
were
able
to
provide
to
kids
that
go
to
public
schools
in
East
Boston,
so
all
around.
We
see
it
as
a
positive
project
and
we're
supportive
of
it.
Thank.
AE
Good
evening
my
name
is
Madeline
chachinsky
and
the
co-founder
and
executive
director
of
zoomix,
which
is
a
nonprofit
youth
development
organization,
based
a
couple
of
blocks
away
from
there
on
the
corner
of
summonin
Arlene
Street
in
East,
Boston
I'm.
Also
a
resident
I've
been
doing
this
work
and
also
living
anything
for
26
years
and
I
have
been
watching
our
waterfront
change
very
quickly
and
have
both
exciting
feelings
about
it
and
heartbroken
feelings
about
it,
kind
of
all
mixed
up
together.
AE
So
it's
quite
complex
and
it's
a
complex
discussion
to
have
about
the
changes
in
our
neighborhood.
We
have
a
beautiful
neighborhood,
it's
been
a
beautiful
neighborhood
and
it
is
I
feel
it's
our
job
to
really
try
and
build
bridges
between
people
who
have
lived
in
the
neighborhood
for
years
and
people
who
are
coming
to
the
neighborhood
as
new
residents
and
to
try
and
unify
the
community
so
that
we
have
one
beautiful
community
where
everybody
can
live
in
harmony.
The
organization
that
I
run
is
a
youth
development
Center
and
we
have
young
people.
AE
We
serve
about
a
thousand
young
people
a
year,
teaching
them
skills
that
help
them
someday
get
paid.
Well,
to
do
something
that
they
love,
and
that
is
the
seeds
of
happiness
as
an
adult,
so
I'm
excited
to
have
met
Steven
Davis.
He
was
very
accessible
and
open
at
some
of
the
community
meetings
and
grateful
to
Boscovich
eyo
for
helping
to
connect
him
with
people.
AE
Who've
been
doing
great
work
in
the
community,
I
think
that
they've
been
thoughtful
about
this
building
and
I've
spoken
with
the
landscape
architect
as
well
around
ways
to
enliven
the
outside
space,
so
that
the
outside
space,
much
of
which
is
actually
public
space,
feels
public,
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
continuing
that
conversation
and
support
the
project.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
N
T
Speak
to
that,
so
originally
the
garage
entrance
was
located
on
Sumner,
Street
right
next
to
Lopresti
Park.
That's
where
that
concern.
What
came
from?
Because
you
know
what
Parsi
Park
is
well
used.
It
was
a
concern
that
we
as
a
as
an
agency
had
as
well
working
with
the
development
team
and
architects.
We
were
able
to
find
a
solution
that
we're
all
found
acceptable,
which
was
to
move
the
garage
entrance
to
London
Street
extension,
and
that
also
was
get
the
community
members
are
very
into
it.
B
AF
Hi
Tim
David's
Housing
Policy
Manager,
as
this
was
a
very
last
minute
request.
It's
not
something
that's
on
the
board
memo.
However.
I
can
say
that
it
is
our
policy
both
my
for
what
we
do
here
at
the
V
PDA,
but
also
what
Sheila
Dylan
does
at
D&D,
who
actually
manages
the
fund
is
that
if
there
is
a
project
in
a
neighborhood
where
money
is
being
generated,
that
we
keep
the
money
in
the
neighborhood?
It's
you
know.
If
there's
a
project
in
the
pipeline,
we're
almost
always
willing
to
support
it.
If
it's
a
quality
project.
B
D
Z
Is
subject
to
chapter
91,
so
that
will
actually
be
signage
about
the
fact
that
it
is
public
open
space.
In
addition,
there
have
been
quite
a
number
of
conversations
with
BPD
a
staff
within
the
neighborhood
at
the
Boston
Civic
design
Commission.
So
that
can
we
put
back
to
the
to
the
site
plan
too,
so
that
the
character
of
the
space
feel
public
and
the
only
delineated
space
is
a
private
deck.
Z
That's
for
the
residents
of
the
building
to
the
left
in
that
yeah
right
in
that
in
the
little
elbow
of
the
building,
but
all
of
the
rest
of
the
space
is
open.
It
will
be
signed
as
as
such
and
obviously
the
harbor
walk
will
have
Harbor
walk
signage
that
is
consistent
with
Harbor,
walk,
signage
up
and
down
the
entire
East
Boston
Harbor
walk
John.
Do
you
want
to
say
anything.
A
D
AA
So
let
me
let
me
try
to
take
those
one
at
a
time.
Hopefully,
I'll
grab
all
the
points,
so
Sumner
Street
sits
at
Boston
City
elevation
90,
so
that
that's
that's
where
Sumner
Street
is
the
first
floor
of
residential
units
and
facility
of
public
accommodation
also
sits
at
19,
so
I'm
at
this
front
edge
right
here,
I'm,
sorry
and
then
there's
three
feet
up
into
this
area.
So
the
first
level
of
units
are
at
20.
AA
Is
it
21
Chris
23,
so
we're
at
19
down
here
on
Sumner
and
then
in
the
building
you're
going
up
to
23,
so
the
first
residential
level
and
the
FPA
is
at
23
the
parking
level
which
delineated
earlier
in
this
sort
of
area
right
here
is
actually
down
below
that
flood
elevation
and
were
the
entire
parking
garage
is
fully
waterproof.
So
we
are
down
below
that
level,
but
all
of
the
residential
and
public
spaces,
including
the
FPA,
are
above
the
above
the
elevation.
19
I,
don't
know!
If
that
answered
your
question
or
not.
AA
A
good
question
I
think:
if,
if
we
did
have
to
move
the
garage
up,
it
would
have
a
substantial
effect.
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
anticipation
that
we
would
need
to
move
the
garage
up.
The
garage
as
designed
is
really
intended
to
be
down
at
that
level.
It's
fully
waterproofed.
We
were
very
aware
of
sort
of
the
geotech
and
soil
conditions
in
that
area.
So
I
can't
imagine
I,
can't
imagine
a
scenario
that
would
that
would
require
the
garage
to
be
elevated,
I.
AA
Think
if,
if
it
were,
you
would
end
up
with
additional
ramping
and
additional
stairs
over
here
I'm
trying
to
answer
your
what-if
question
and
then
this
ramp
coming
up
from
the
harbor
walk,
would
also
get
substantially
longer,
and
these
stairs
here
so
I
think
the
in
the
in
the
scenario
proposing
I,
think
public
accommodation
could
still
be
accommodated,
but
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
anticipation.
We
would
ever
be
in
that
position
because
the
the
parking
has
been
really
thought
through
and
designed
with
the
flood
elevations
and
waterproofing
to
really
prevent
that
so
yeah.
I
I
mean
a
couple
of
years
ago.
Excuse
me,
we
probably
wouldn't
have
asked
this
question,
but
it
was
only
yesterday
that
some
huge
chunk
of
ice
broke
off
of
Antarctica,
right
and,
and
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
we
are
dealing
with
sea
level
rise.
This
is
a
vulnerable
area
and
resilience
is,
is
going
to
be
a
concern
and
I'm
not
so
worried
about
the
people
living.
I
AG
Leave
it
Jonathan
gorilla,
BPD,
eh,
I'll,
leave
I'll,
leave
the
the
landscaping
detail
to
so
many
more
articulately
to
myself,
but
one
thing
just
in
terms
of
wandering
a
really
good
question
about
what,
if
this
project
would
have
to
be
redesigned,
where
are
you
to
move
the
movie
to
move
parking
above?
That
would
have
implications
from
a
zoning
from
a
height
and
probably
a
project
perspective.
So
this
project
ring
of
the
project
that
had
that
kind
of
radical
change
would
very
likely
have
to
come
back
before
this
agency
for
review
and
evaluation.
AG
So
I
think
the
focus
has
always
been
throughout
the
design,
review,
process,
innoculated
process
and
used
to
really
anticipate
I,
think
you're,
seeing
the
result
of
that
or
in
the
responses
from
design
team,
so
I
think
I
think
it's
a
good
question
to
ask
it's
when
we
ask
every
single
day
here
and
you'll
be
seeing
in
coming
months
an
updated
climate
change,
checklist
related
to
article
80,
no
different,
you've
seen
the
the
smart
utilities,
broadband
accessibility,
etc.
So
we're
increasingly
trying
to
make
sure
we're
at
commenting
all
the
different
things.
AG
I
do
want
to
let
John
Copley
talk
about
the
the
characterization
of
the
open
space
in
the
public
realm,
but,
as
you
likely
know-
and
this
is
just
worth
reiterating-
is
that
one
of
the
really
good
opportunities
that
design
like
this
affords
it
substantial
public
realm
does
two
things
a
it's
great
place
for
people
to
be
third
spaces.
We
talk
about
that.
AG
That's
an
issue
of
tremendous
media
coverage
this
past
week,
even
related
to
WS
and
beyond,
but
it
also
is
a
great
flood
control
device
right
so
for
us,
so
the
the
open
spaces
can
serve.
Is
that
natural
kind
of
determine
absorption
so
just
from
an
that's
how
we
think
of
an
agency
level,
John
answer
from
a
project
level.
AH
John
Copley
Copley
wolf.
It's
a
good
question
and
I'd
like
to
take
you
back
to
the
BC
DC.
When
our
original
plans,
we
had
a
great
change
from
the
deck
elevation
down
to
Harborwalk
of
about
six
to
seven
feet
and
obviously
the
dc-dc
said:
that's
not
really
a
manageable
height
visually
between
the
harbor
walk
and
the
public
space
is
up
up
here.
So
we
worked
hard
with
the
architects
and
the
owners
to
pitch
the
deck
and
step
the
deck
itself
lower
and
then
raise
the
grade
of
the
harbor
walk.
AH
So
we're
now
at
about
four
foot
Delta
between
the
two,
so
visually
that's
safer
and
it's
better
number.
One
and
number
two
is
that
if
you
remember
what
happened
with
two,
what
lend-lease
is
doing?
They
have
a
lot
of
living
shoreline
so
as
the
as
you
creep
down
on
the
riprap
they're
allowing
for
pockets
of
landscape
plant
material
and
what
we're
doing
is
we're
extending
that
all
the
way
through
into
here.
So
during
those
king
tides
during
those
storm
surges,
it's
perfectly
okay
in
terms
of
the
plant
materials
and
the
other
hardscapes.
AH
B
O
I
have
a
question,
but
it's
in
the
form
of
a
comment
as
well,
but
I
think
the
financing
would
be
a
difficult
people,
aren't
going
to
give
you
money
to
build
something
if
it's
going
to
be
underwater
in
five
years.
Basically,
there's
other
checks
with
this
I
would
think,
but
second
I
notice
two
stories
came
off
the
building,
but
the
same
money
units.
If
we
were
at
less
stayed
at
the
8th,
how
many
more
units
would
we
have
had
how
many
more
affordable
would
we
have
gotten.
O
U
U
U
We're
also
good
the
unit
unit
sizes
has
been
I
mean.
This
is
a
14-year
old
project,
as
we've
seen
over
the
course
of
time.
Unit
sizing
in
the
City
of
Boston
kind
of
broadly
has
has
started
to
contract
a
little
bit,
which
explains
why
we're
currently
putting
the
same
number
of
units
in
a
building.
That's
a
little
bit
smaller
than
his
predecessor,
I.
A
I
Every
reason
to
believe
will
happen
over
the
next
few
years
and
we
don't
often
get
to
hear
from
landscape
architects
about
how
they're
addressing
waterfront
resilience
and
sea-level
rise,
and
so
I
wanted
it
on
the
record
that
there's
a
serious
effort
being
made
here,
particularly
in
East
Boston,
where
so
much
development
is
going
on
to
address
those
kinds
of
issues.
But
it's
a
good
project
in.
