Be
known
as
the
south
boston,
marine
multiport,
utilizing,
massports
massachusetts,
marine
terminals,
seven
and
eight
for
which
it
received
tentative
designation
on
march
25th
of
2021..
As
you
recall,
on
june
10th
2021,
this
board
gave
eastern
a
tentative
designation,
based
on
eastern's
plans
to
incorporate
parcel
m
into
this
comprehensive,
larger
plan.
Next
slide.
Please
here's!
Here's
a
nice
view
of
the
south
boston
marine
multi-port
view
into
boston
from
the
harbor.
D
D
Its
lease
renewal
options
will
be
based
upon
its
emerging
business
model,
which
increasingly
encompasses
bulk
cargo
shipping
and
receiving,
including
for
the
emergent
wind
industry
industry
in
massachusetts,
whose
oversized
components
rely
on
ship
to
shore
transport.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
meld
a
traditional
industry
with
a
future
forward
green
industry.
D
Additionally,
over
the
past
months,
eastern
has
been
in
discussions
with
the
abundant
business
boston,
ship
repair
relative
to
the
possible
reactivation
of
the
north
jetty
adjacent
to
parcel
m
to
accommodate
deep
water
birthing.
These
proposed
reactivations
and
infrastructure
improvements
would
strongly
buttress
the
marine
industrial
mission
of
the
marine
park
by
restoring
operations
to
one
of
the
few
remaining
parcels
in
boston
harbor
with
maritime
infrastructure.
That
is
both
in
close
proximity
to
the
federal
navigational
channel
and
is
also
outside
of
the
draft
restrictions
imposed
by
the
ted
williams
tunnel.
D
Next
slide,
please
in
terms
of
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
Eastern
salt
is
a
woman-owned
family
operated
enterprise
that
provides
provides
both
highly
skilled
and
less
skilled
jobs.
The
company
has
been
doing
business
in
chelsea
for
60
years
and
on
the
east
coast
waterfront
for
40
years
eastern
employs
many
people
of
color
and
many
for
whom
english
is
a
second
language.
D
This
is
a
nice
illustration
here.
You
can
see
the
dry
dock
over
on
the
right
hand,
side
it
sort
of
would
just
have
the
ships
would
have
to
just
loop
around
to
get
to
the
north
jetty.
So
it's
it's
a
nice
synergy
between
the
two
businesses,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
E
F
D
They're
in
they've
been
in
talks
with
foster
chip
repair.
It's
about
the
reactivation
of
the
north
jetty
boston,
ship
repair
will
be
able
to
significa
significantly
expand
its
business
if
they
have
access
to
a
wet
birth.
So
this
reactivation,
using
the
north
jetty
as
part
of
this
whole
south
boston,
marine
multiport,
that
eastern
will
be
involved
in
easter,
will
be
will
be
creating
will
be
a
great
benefit
to
boston,
ship
repair.
E
Thank
you
any
additional
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
E
And
I
think,
madam
secretary,
we
have
a
city
councilor,
who
wants
to
give
some
remarks.
Counselor.
H
I
did
I
just
wanted,
like
one
record
of
supporting
it
as
a.
Let
me
see
an
area
that
I
know
very
well
will
work
very
closely
with
the
proponent
and
we're
excited,
particularly
when
it
comes
to
the
ray
flynn
marine
industrial
park.
It's
incumbent
upon
all
of
us
to
make
sure
that
you
know
the
the
marine
uses,
the
ship
repair,
seafood,
processing,
cold
storage,
freight
forwarding
and,
of
course,
salt
facilitating
are
all
supportive
of
my
colleagues
from
south
boston
from
congressman
lynch
to
senator
collins
to
representative
beal
to
council
president
ed
flynn
and
myself.
H
So
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
all
of
my
south
boston
colleagues,
the
delegation
to
to
go
on
record
in
full
support
of
this.
This
request.
H
And
I
have
other
items
that
I
just
want
to
speak
on
at
the
appropriate
time.
E
Okay,
let's
just
take
this
vote
and
then
I'll
come
right
back
to
you,
okay,
great,
so
any
additional
questions
or
comments
from
the
board
hearing
and
seeing
none
of
motion
is
in
order.
It's
all
moved.
Second,
full
call
for
a
vote.
Miss
downs
hi
mr
monaghan
aye,
dr
landsmark
aye,
mr
miller
hi,
and
the
chairman's
eye
motion
passes.
Okay
back
to
you.
Thank
you.
H
And
just
want
to
go
on
record
of
support
of
of
item
number
three,
which
is
a
space
for
a
possible
future
lease
with
boston,
public
health
commission
to
construct
an
emergency
medical
service
annual
station
council.
President
flynn
has
submitted
a
letter
again.
I
want
to
go
on
record
on
behalf
of
the
entire
south
boston
delegation,
in
support
of
that
request.
Authorization
as
the
south
boston
waterfront,
continues
to
grow,
and
particularly
the
environment
in
and
around
gray,
flinder
and
industrial
park.
H
Time
has
come
to
not
only
talk
about
an
ems
station,
but
also
the
time
has
come
to
talk
about
a
fire
station
and
possibly
a
police
station,
just
given
the
depth
of
the
growth
down
in
the
area.
So
so
this
is
another
step
in
the
right
direction
and
we'll
obviously,
hopefully
be
addressing
fire
and
police
support
in
the
near
future
and
with
respect
to
the
north
end
number
21.
H
They
would
want
one
record
in
supporting
request
authorization
for
scoping
on
cross
street
for
the
hotel
and
also
want
to
go
on
record
in
support
of
22
in
over
east
boston,
as
it
pertains
to
the
residential
hundred
construction
of
170
residential
units
over
on
1333,
355,
bennington
street
and
just
a
caveat.
I
just
want
the
developers
to
continue
to
work
closely
with
the
local
electeds
in
the
community
to
address
any
outstanding
concerns
as
it
pertains
to
that
request.
H
H
Authorization
for
a
scoping
determination,
project
speaks
for
itself
would
be
a
great
addition
over
in
the
peninsula
there
over
at
columbia
point,
and
I
think
that
for
generations
to
come,
not
only
is
there
public
housing
development
known
as
harper
point
across
the
street,
the
public
school
access,
and
I
can
envision
tremendous
partnerships
with
my
alma
mater
bci
as
well
as
university
of
massachusetts,
and
what
a
great
way
to
have
before
and
after
school
programming
and
connecting
them
to
stem
and
all
the
opportunities
that
boston
has
to
offer
them.
H
E
Thank
you
all
right.
So,
moving
on
to
item
number
three
request:
authorization
to
set
aside
space
for
a
possible
future
lease
with
the
boston
public
health
commission
to
construct
a
new
emergency
medical
services
ambulance
station
in
the
vicinity
of
pierton
park
within
the
raymond
l
flynn
marine
park
dennis.
K
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
The
city
of
boston,
acting
through
the
boston
public
health
commission.
Excuse
me
it
has
16
emergency
medical
service
stations
throughout
the
city
of
boston.
The
2020
census
indicates
that
38
000
people
live
in
south
boston
and
another
5
000
live
in
the
evolving
seaport
neighborhood,
as
the
councilor
just
alluded
to,
and
also
according
to
the
commonwealth's
south
boston
waterfront
sustainable
transportation
plan.
The
seaport
is
one
of
the
fastest
growing
urban
areas
in
the
commonwealth.
K
Boston
ems
has
reported
that
called
out
call
blogging
is
doubled
in
the
past
decade
due
to
the
development
of
the
development
plans.
They
just
referenced,
as
well
as
increased
attendance
to
the
boston
convention
and
exhibition
center.
The
flynn,
crews,
board
hotels,
restaurants,
bars
and,
of
course,
the
businesses
here
in
the
park.
Demand
for
ems
services
is
only
expected
to
increase
investments.
Development
pressure
will
make
way
more
scarce
and
expensive.
Bpa
wishes
to
set
aside
approximately
twenty
thousand
square
feet
of
our
land
in
the
original
fling
marine
park
to
locate
the
new
ems
station.
K
The
proposed
location
is
adjacent
to
tier
ten,
between
drive
outcome
and
three,
which
is
operated
by
boston,
ship
repair
and
the
coastal
scent
facility
at
36
drydock
avenue.
The
proposed
ems
station
will
be
passively
located
between
two
industrial
uses
through
direct
access
to
drydock
admin
to
expedite
response
center.
At
this
time,
staff
is
requesting
permission
to
set
aside
the
20
000
square
feet
of
land
in
the
open
marine
park
to
locate
a
contemplated
new
ems
station.
K
L
I'm
just
curious
as
to
whether
this
space
would
be
close
enough
to
other
spaces
so
that
there
might
be
a
potential
for
developing
a
larger
medical
facility
in
this
area,
which
would
seem
to
me,
given
both
the
changing
residential
character
and
the
industrial
character
of
the
neighborhood
would
be
desirable
in
this
area.
K
I
I
don't
know
about
a
medical
center,
but
I
do
know
that
I've
heard
the
catholic
counselor
comment
about
them
for
fire
station
is
also
understood
that
we
wouldn't
rule
out
combining
the
two
or
that's
america
one
in
the
future.
We
absolutely
knew
that.
I
see
devin
just
a.
M
Yeah,
thank
you
dennis
and
thank
you,
dr
lancelot,
for
for
the
question
just
an
add-on,
I'm
devon
director
real
estate
just
to
add
on
to
the
response.
I
think
this
particular
site
is
quite
small.
It's
adjacent
to
the
pure
ten
park,
it's
like
perfectly
suited
for
a
two-bay
ambulance
station,
but
we
do
have
three
vacant
or
or
parking
lot
parcels
that
are
reserved
for
maritime
use.
That
could
be
combined
with
that
they're,
not
slated
for
future
in
general
industrial
development
that
could
be
combined.
M
You
know
mixed-use
development
for
a
facility
by
nature.
It's
definitely
something
that's
worth
studying,
but
we've
recently
wrapped
up
the
marine
park
master
plan
process.
So
we
have
a
pretty
good
idea
of
where
those
opportunities
exist,
something
we'd
love
to
explore.
Thank
you.
E
Okay,
that's
great
any
additional
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
E
K
E
N
Thank
you
and
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
and
before
you
today,
to
request
authorization
to
execute
an
engineering
design
contract
with
collins
engineers
for
the
south
jetty
bulkhead
rehabilitation
project
in
the
raymond
elephant
marine
park.
This
matter
was
last
before
you
at
the
november
2021
board
meeting
to
request
authorization
to
assist
qualifications
and
fees.
For
this
work.
To
refresh
your
memory,
the
south
jetty
is
located
in
the
northeast
corner
of
the
park.
It
is
land
that
is
contained
by
a
1940s
steel
bulkhead
structure.
N
The
waterfront
site
has
direct
access
to
the
drydock
3
shipper
channel.
It
also
has
direct
access
from
the
dolphin
way
and
clicking
the
av
roadways.
The
site
is
adjacent
to
and
continues
the
bulkhead
rehabilitation
that
we
completed
at
the
east
jetty
in
2020..
The
existing
steel
sheet,
pile
bulkhead
is
past
its
useful
life.
The
engineering
contract
will
develop
design
alternatives,
secure
all
necessary,
permitting
prepare
construction
bid
documents
for
construction
of
a
new
bulkhead.
Behind
the
present
steel
bulkhead.
The
new
bulkhead
that
we
will
install
will
be
approximately
400
feet
in
length.
N
It
will
allow
for
the
future
reconstruction
of
the
piers
at
the
jetty
and
similar
to
the
newly
built
new
excuse
me,
this
newly
rebuilt
bulkhead
at
the
east
jetty
similar
to
that
this
new
bulkhead
will
be
designed
to
accommodate
a
future
increase
in
elevation
in
response
to
rising
sea
levels.
Plans
and
specifications
will
be
prepared
in
accordance
with
chapter
30,
39
m
of
the
massachusetts
general
laws.
The
contract
will
include
permitting
bidding
assistance,
resident
engineering
services
as
well
as
construction
administration
services.
N
The
bpda
issued
a
formal
request
for
proposals
in
accordance
with
our
designer
selection
policy
on
january

Maureen.
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board.
The
bpda
owns
the
ram
and
I'm
in
elfly
marine
park
which,
in
the
faculty
unlocks
the
flu

boston
since
2009,
the
vpda
has
entered
into
license
agreements
with
privately
owned,
sightseeing
tour
companies
to
operate
a
trolley,
stop
near
the
cruise
port
in
2019.
The
cruise
port
served
approximately
400
000
passengers.
R
The
charlie

establishes
an
organized
method
to
help

as
well
as
providing
revenue
to
both
the

in
2020.
The
cruise
ship
season
was
completely
cancelled
due
to
the
covered
19
pandemic
in
2021,
the
crews
port
docked
only
a
small
number
of
cruise
ships
and
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic,
the
trolley
start
program
was
cancelled
in
2021
as
well.
At

T
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair
and,
as
you
just
stated,
I'm
here
to
request
authorization
for
three
contracts
which
I'm
particularly
excited
about.
The
bpda
real
estate
team
is
focused
on
using
public
land
for
public
good,
given
the
complexity
of
boston's
real
estate
market
and
of
community
development,
we're
seeking
to
supplement
our
in-house
expertise
with
three
real
estate
strategy
consultants,
who
can
provide
a
full
range
of
services
and
analysis.
T
Our
extensive
advertising
and
outreach
for
this
opportunity
resulted
in
more
than
100
plan
holders
who
downloaded
the
rfp
from
our
website.
42
participants
in
the
virtual
pre-submission
conference
and
10
proposals
received
several
respondents
included
teams
of
sub-consultants
for
a
total
of
29
firms
represented
across
the
10
proposals
and
7
of
those
10
proposals
included
a
woman
or
minority-owned
business.
T
Each
of
these
three
firms
will
execute
one
contract
with
the
edic
and
one
contract
with
the
bra
and
each
contract
will
have
a
maximum
value
of
150
000
per
year.
I'll
note
that,
given
the
unpredictable
demands
of
these
challenges,
we
really
appreciate
the
collaboration
of
our
colleagues
in
finance,
which
they
provided
throughout
this
process,
as
we
implement
a
new
program
with
as
much
flexibility
as
possible.
T
U
I
laura:
can
you
share
with
us
why
this
seems
like
a
good
move
for
the
bpda
at
this
time.
T
Yes
and
I'll
also
make
space
for
devon
court
director
real
estate.
If
he
wants
to
chime
in
this
process,
we
actually
kicked
off
more
than
a
year
ago.
T
We
did
a
request
for
information
to
get
feedback
from
the
industry,
so,
rather
than
being
prompted
by
any
one
specific
project
or
issue,
it's
more
a
desire
to
be
more
nimble
and
to
be
able
to
engage
with
consultants
more
quickly
when
there
are
time
sensitive
projects
where
we
need
somebody
who
not
only
understands
where
we're
coming
from
as
a
public
land
holder,
but
also
understands
what
the
private
real
estate
market
in
boston
and
who
can
again
like
supplement
our
in-house
expertise,
for
example,
the
work
that
we've
done
in
in
nubian
square,
with
all
the
publicly
owned
property
there.

Michael

the
hopkinton
massachusetts
based
sculptor
uses
bronze,
copper
and
resin
to
create
surreal
sculptures
that
merge
human

The
pieces
are
inspired
by
the
experiences
of
navy
yard
workers,
as
they
transitioned
from
wartime
shipbuilding
to
other
jobs,
as
operations
in

go
to
item
number

request:
authorization
to
adopt
an
amended
and
restated

road
demonstration
project
plan
to
reflect
that

subsequently
reached
out
to
the

development
communities
and
found
that,
while
there
were
several
potential
developers
and
arts
operators
which
expressed
interest
in
the
joint
rfp,
it
was
a
really
ambitious,
complex
project
requiring
new
forms
of
partnership
and
came
at
a
time
of
major
market
insecurity
for
the
creative
sector,
which
just
presented
too
much
of
a
barrier.
At
that
time.

the
bpda
are
still
committed
to
the
community's
vision
for
affordable
housing
and
space
for
new

So
we
intend
to
re-release
the
rfp

within
a
greater
vision
for
a
transformative
arts

Genuine
interest
remains
in

the

is
still
committed
to
it

together
with
the

determine
what

next
step
should
be

to
begin
the
process
of
sun
setting
14
urban
renewal
plans
and
the
bpda
staff
will
now
appear
before
the
council
on
march
22nd,
but
before
we
take
any
questions
that
the
board
may
have,
and
you
likely
will
and
should
I
have
a
short
update
on
the
urban
renault
action
plan
which
quickly
details
our
work,
since
this
was
last
seen
in
front
of
the
board
in
2016
next
slide.
AL
This
is
the
action
in
2016
we,
the
agency,
agreed
to
an
action
plan.
This
was
an
agreement
with
dhcd
and
the
boston
city
council
on
accountability
measures
to
improve
transparency
and
oversight
regarding
urban
renewal
actions
next
slide
and
we
did
a
whole
bunch
of
stuff.
This
agreement
was
a
list
of
recommendations
that
included
the
following
actions.
The
first
thing
we
did
is
we
created
a
planning
and
document
center
on
our
dpda
page.
AL
This
page
includes
download
access
to
the
urban
oil
plant
for
that
specific
plan
area,
the
modification
list,
so
you
can
look
up
the
modification
and
now
the
actual
resolution
and
board
votes.
So
once
you
find
the
modification
you
want,
you
can
go
right
there
download
it
on
a
public
facing
website.
It
also
includes
notification,
letters
and
maps
for
each
area
next
slide.
AL
We
did
six
boston
city,
council,
hearing
updates
on
the
progress
of
the
action
plan,
and
we
also
were
required
to
provide
30
days
notice
for
any
minor
modification
notification
going
to
the
mayor's
office,
all
the
city,
council,
c
council
at
large
in
dhcd,
of
course,
and
beyond
that
in
the
cell
phone
of
course,
and
we
were
required
to
conduct
community
meetings
for
all
urbanal
actions,
not
just
article
80
actions,
not
just
actions
going
to
the
zoning
board,
but
even
as
of
right
projects
that
have
urban
rental
implications.
AL
I
hosted
a
bunch
of
those
meetings
too
next
slide
here.
We
have.
The
action
plan
also
required
something
really
really
big:
an
lda
bpda
owned
property
inventory
that
catalogued
over
1700
parcels
of
land
related
to
urban
oil,
since
1957
1700
by
assessing
id
not
by
your
emotional
person,
the
work
included.
Locating
everything
deeds,
ldas
certificates
of
completions
plan
maps,
as
well
as
title
work
and
taking
documents
on
the
property
ownership
side
next
slide
the
result
of
that
work.
AL
When
it
comes
to
the
lda
inventory,
there
was
a
discovery
of
1500
assessing
parcels
with
subsequent
land
disposition
agreements
or
regulatory
agreements
that
govern
them,
roughly
1300
parcels
by
urban
or
parcel
standard,
but
that's
a
different
standard.
AL
AL
We
also
found
dozens
and
dozens
of
community
and
cultural
spaces
like
the
boston,
chinatown,
neighborhood
center
and
various
other
public
art
displays
cultural
museums
and
institutional
spaces,
not
unlike
the
irish
family
memorial,
the
holocaust
memorial.
Just
across
the
street,
we
found
hundreds
upon
hundreds
of
open
space,
restricted
parcels,
sometimes
they're,
really
big
parks
like
christopher
columbus
park.
Most
of
the
time,
they're
really
sort
of
medium-sized
but
important
community
gardens
like
the
ones
shown
here
in
the
south
end
that
are
in
fenway
that
are
in
that
are
in
roxbury
they're
in
charlestown.
AL
AL
We
also
found
many
public
facilities
that
were
created
by
urban
bike
place
that
I
worked
at
before
charlestown
high
school
in
its
play.
Fields
seen
here
in
the
right
hand,
corner
along
with
dozens
of
libraries,
police
stations,
fire
stations,
community,
centers
and
schools
spread
all
across
these
neighborhoods
that
were
all
created
with
their
renewable
tools
and
are
all
controlled
by
urban
plans
and
or
regulatory
restrictions
all
across
the
downtown
neighborhoods.
AL
So
in
total
we
uploaded
over
15
000
documents
that
detail
these
projects
and
the
massive
infrastructure
improvements
done
done
and
provided
to
city
streets
and
the
city
sewer
system.
These
actions
jump-started
private
investment
in
the
city
because
of
urban
renewal
funding
and
the
works
and
acts
of
the
agency
since
its
founding
next
slide.
AL
AL
AL
AL
Okay!
What
should
be
here
is
a
map
of
the
urban
renault,
a
zoning
viewer,
essentially
just
so
everyone
knows
we
put
all
of
our
land
disposition
agreements
and
all
our
deeds
and
certificate
certificates
of
completion
on
the
on
the
boston
zoning
viewer
for
download.
So
anyone
can
right
now
go
on
the
bpda
zoning
viewer
type
in
their
address.
See
that
see
the
art
see
the
urban
new
parcel
name,
download
the
documents
and
get
a
little
piece
of
history.
AL
AL
So
this
is
the
bpd
owned
land.
This
is
basically
similar
to
what
we
did
with
the
lda
inventory
and
basically,
we
created
a
website
and
that
website
details
the
status
of
over
200
urban
old
parcels
and
many
other
bpda-owned
properties.
Basically,
a
resident
can
come
and
they
could
see
whether
or
not
a
parcel
is
developable,
not
developed,
but
whether
it's
ground
lease
you
can
sort
of
get
the
land
status
of
all
bpda
owned
property
and
that's
all
publicly
available.
And
that
was
a
whole
heck
of
a
lot
of
work.
AL
This
slide
represents
some
of
that
work.
Those
parcels
included,
renovated
and
restored
active
spaces
like
faneuil
hall
and
old
city
hall,
that
most
folks
know
and
use,
but
it
also
included
recent
land
leases
like
the
tropical
food
markets
in
the
right
hand,
corner
and
other
parcels
in
various
forms
of
planning
and
development,
like
the
recent
rfp
that
went
out
for
the
crescent
parcels
in
roxbury
and
the
bunker
hill
community
parking
lots
which
await
further
planning
from
the
planned
charlestown
team.
Next
slide.
AL
AL
At
those
meetings,
we
also
discussed
the
planning
goals
that
make
herbal
and
meal
plans
unique
those
goals,
included,
goals
and
objectives
of
the
plant
blight.
Finding
parcel
assembly
regulatory
controls,
u-district
overlays,
major
minor
modifications
that
can
occur,
federal
and
state
funding
that
is
unique
to
urban
renewal
and
housing.
Affordability,
restrictions.
AL
So
after
after
the
first
round
of
that
community
engagement,
we
submitted
two
letters
to
dhc
that
detailed
one,
the
number
of
actions
taken
since
2016,
which
are
approximately
240
to
the
planning
context
of
each
area.
Three,
the
regulatory
controls
that
are
in
place
and
four
the
status
of
each
parcel
that
we
next
slide.
AL
I
will
say
this:
is
I'm
missing
another
side?
That's
okay,
but
that
report
the
dhc
report
recommended
a
staggered
sunset
of
urban
renault
in
boston,
starting
this
april
to
april
22nd
2022..
AL
AL
AL
Okay,
so
this
side,
a
city
council
hearing,
is
scheduled
for
march
22nd
regarding
urban
renewal
and
land
use
powers
and
the
bpda
staff
will
attend.
In
addition
to
other
city
departments,
we
anticipate
getting
additional
feedback
from
dhcd
and
will
return
to
the
board
next
month
for
a
vote
to
extend
nine
plans
for
eight
additional
months
or
till
the
end
of
the
year.
AL
AL
E
Okay,
thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
L
What
happens
when
the
expiration
takes
place.
AL
Well,
when
they
asked
for
the
five
that
we've
identified,
they
essentially
they're
sunset
they're
gone
they're
no
longer
than
no
longer
legally
enforceable.
The
plan
no
longer
exists
for
some
of
those
parcels.
Some
of
those
parcels
will
have
land
disposition
agreements
that
extend
beyond
the
terms
of
the
plan,
but
for
many
of
the
ldas
are
attached
to
the
plan
itself.
So
when
the
plan
sunsets
so
will
the
lda
restrictions.
AL
The
open
question
is,
if
you
have
an
lda
that
extends
beyond
the
terms
of
the
plan,
you
are
still
restricted
in
some
way,
I
would
say
most
predominantly
from
a
design
review
perspective,
but
if
you
were
to
amend
or
wish
to
amend
your
lda,
I
don't
it's
uncertain
whether
or
not
you'd
be
able
to
only
it,
because
the
sense
you
don't
have
a
plan
to
use
as
a
reference
point.
The
plan
is
the
it's:
it's
like
the
zoning
code.
If
you
don't
have
a
plan,
it
would
be
very
difficult.
AL
L
But
but
does
that
mean
that
design
review
or
financial
feasibility
review
or
neighborhood
input
or
transportation
review?
Does
that
mean
that
all
of
those
just
go
away
and
and
if
they
do,
how
does
a
community
get
to
weigh
in
on
what
happens
to
those
parcels.
AL
Well,
the
zoning
code
still
exists.
The
urban
oil
plant
would
not.
The
urban
plan
on
an
urban
parcel
would
would
weigh
in
on
terms
of
design.
It
would
weigh
on
in
terms
of
things
like
height
and
far
and
land
use
and
those
restrictions,
because
the
plan
is
gone,
will
not
be
there.
AL
The
zoning
code
will
always
be
there
for
people
to
weigh
in
on,
but
for
specific
things
that
are
specific
to
urban
renewal,
like
like
an
elderly
restriction
or
a
single
family
restriction,
or
you
know
a
community
cultural
space
restriction
that
that
zoning
currently
does
not
require
those
would
go
away
and
they
don't
imagine
there
would
be
much
legally.
You
could
do
about
that
unless
you
change
the
zoning
code
too,
but.
AK
AK
If
the
urban
renewal
tools
no
longer
exist,
then
we
can
intervene
in
that
sense
to
assist
a
project
once
the
plan
goes
away
and
you
wouldn't
you
know,
urban
renewal
runs
separate
from
the
zoning
code,
but
it
was
an
extra
overlay
over
the
zoning
code
that
gave
us
another
opportunity
to
assist
with
you
know,
applying
certain
protections
or
other
restrictions
on
the
parcel,
so
it
would
just
be
that
would
no
longer
be
possible
and
it
would
strictly
be
zoning
code
and
article
80
review
yeah.
AL
I
link's
100
right
yeah
article
80
still
exists.
The
zoning
code
still
exists.
If
you're,
not
an
urban
or
parcel,
you
don't
have
to
know
any
about
any
of
this
stuff
anyway,
so
your
life
stays
the
same.
If
you
are
an
urban
parcel
or
if
you
are
an
urban
area,
things
like
the
eu
districts
kind
of
go
away
or
they
become
useless,
which
would
be
a
difficulty.
AK
I
think
the
zoning
there's
als
always
zoning
changes
going
on
in
the
in
the
zoning
code.
There
are
different.
AL
AL
AM
I
think
there's
still
some
early
60s
zoning,
that
is
in
effect
in
the
city,
but
you
might
have
very
surgical
amendments
to
the
zoning
code
that
are
taking
place
right
up
to
the
present
day
in
in
every
once
in
a
while,
there'll
be
a
new
neighborhood.
AM
Zoning
code
provision
issued
so
there's
a
variety
of
pieces
of
the
code
being
worked
at
any
given
time,
sometimes
very
esoteric,
details
being
amended,
but
it
is
a
a
fairly
constant
process.
But
again
parts
of
the
parts
of
the
are
are
60
years
old
and
still
in
effect,.
U
You
know,
I
view
urban
renewals
as
tools
that
can
be
used
in
a
variety
of
ways
and,
as
we
just
saw,
we
know
it
has
been
used
to
greatly
benefit
the
city
as
well
as
the
times
when
it's
been
used
in
inappropriate
ways,
but
I
but
but
the.
But
you
know
you
have
to
look
forward
looking
forward,
it's
a
very
valuable
toolbox
to
have
for
the
city.
So
I'm
I'm
curious
to
hear
what
is
the
reasoning
behind
wanting
to
sunset
it
on
this
accelerated
pace
and
ex
and
sunset
it
at
all?
AM
I
I
I
think,
your
question
sort
of
indicates
and
will.
AM
Be
reflected
in
conversations
to
come,
there's
there's
no
question,
and
I
think
I
think
the
the
the
mayor's
administration
would
would
describe
it
this
way
as
well.
There's
no
question:
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
future
of
urban
renewal
tools,
we're
we're
in
agreement
that
certain
urban
renewal
areas
should
sunset
very
soon.
AM
The
agency,
as
well
as
the
wu
administration,
have
had
multiple
conversations
about
this
in
recent
weeks,
and
we
agree
on
that
first
tranche
that
the
work
of
urban
renewal
in
those
pieces
of
the
city's
geography
are
ready
to
sunset.
Now
we
think
there's
a
really
robust
conversation
that
needs
to
occur
for
the
greater
good
we
all.
AM
We
all
want
to
see
good
things
happen
for
the
city
and
its
people,
and
we
have
historically
argued
that
urban
renewal
tools
properly
utilized
in
a
nuanced
sensitive
fashion,
can
continue
to
to
provide
significant
benefits
for
the
people
of
boston
and
we're
having
those
conversations
in
the
context
of
these
other
urban
renewal
areas.
Those
conversations
will
certainly
continue.
AM
I
will
certainly
pass
on
your
sentiments
and
ask
for
a
a
more
robust
conversation,
bpda
wu
administration,
to
occur
with
with
the
participation
of
the
board
so
that
we
all
know
what
each
other
is
thinking
that
we
all
have
all
the
relevant
minds
and
voices
at
the
table,
as
we
make
really
crucial
and
critical
decisions
about
the
existence
of
these
tools
going
forward.
So
I
don't,
I
don't
have
an
answer
for
you
now
about.
AM
You
know
the
administration's
plans
for
for
the
urban
renewal
areas
that
will
remain,
but
but
your
your
concerns
are
are
shared
by
us
and
again
animated
by
the
belief
that
these
tools
have
historically
done
some
really
good
and
some
really
important
things
for
the
people
of
boston
and
and
we
want
to
preserve
all
the
good
that
can
be
had
and-
and
we
continue
to
have
conversations
about
that-
that
theme
with
the
administration.
I
think
there'll,
be
a
whole
lot
of
conversations
like
that
in
coming
months.
L
As
each
of
these
plans
does
reach
a
point
of
being
sunset.
I
don't
think
there's
any
question,
but
that
some
of
the
tools
that
have
been
available
have
been
misapplied,
but
I
also
think
that
it's
pretty
clear
that
a
lot
of
good
has
come
from
how
the
community
has
been
able
to
weigh
in
on
the
use
of
these
tools
to
create
benefits.
So,
as
we
vote
on
this,
it
feels
at
one
level
as
though
we're
simply
looking
at
at
some
laws
and
mechanical
processes.
E
It's
a
tough
one,
all
right
hearing
and
saying
none
a
motion
is
in

This
project,
I'm
honored
to
be
representing
the
boys
and
girls
club
of
dorchester
and
martin
richard
foundation
in
this
proposal
tonight
tonight,
caps
off
a
long
process
of
shaping
the
concept
of
a
place
that
will
bring
all
of
our
community
members
together.
Let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please.

This
master
plan
was
conducted
and
completed
by
bria
planning
staff
and
approved
by
the
bria
board
in
2011..
The
neighborhood
plan
includes
parcel
specific
design
guidelines
for
new
uses
on
the
site
of
the
d
variety
mccormick
schools.
The
proposed
dorchester
field
house
is
consistent
with
the
plan's
three
key
concepts.
AP
AP
AO
Thank
you
back
to
this
presentation
here
again
kevin
diebler
with
ruby
architects
and
to
begin
here.
The
first
slide
shows
that
columbia,
point
peninsula
and
all
the
existing
uses
in
place
now
and
under
development.
This
is
an
educational
cluster
zone
serving
all
ages
from
birth
to
doctorate.
AO
AO
Our
site
is
next
to
the
bcla
and
mccormick
7
through
12
campus,
as
well
as
a
denver
school
next
door.
To
that,
our
proposal
will
activate
a
part
of
the
campus
that
today
is
underutilized
and
poorly
maintained,
mostly
asphalt
with
limited
recreation
capacity,
specifically
over
the
long
winter
months.
Next
slide,
please.
AO
We
cannot
speak
of
this
project
without
recognizing
the
programming
idea
that
went,
that
is
behind
it
and
the
voices
that
shaped
it.
The
club
and
the
martin
richard
foundation
gathered
both
adult
and
team
voices
in
the
community
who
took
the
singular
idea
of
an
athletic
shed
and
helped
us
expand
it
to
include
spaces
for
wellness,
learning
and
exercise.
AO
Three
words
define
our
program,
accessible,
meaning,
adaptive
and
inclusive
to
all
flexible,
meaning
that
indoor
and
outdoor
spaces
should
address
dynamic
and
changing
needs
over
time
and
intentional
meaning
the
opportunities
for
community
benefit
and
personal
growth
cover
each
and
every
square
foot
of
this
property
indoors
and
out
next
slide.
Please.
AO
This
is
an
aerial
view
and
jared
kind
of
outlined.
Where
that
the
green
mall
continues.
So
you
really
automatically
start
to
see
how
this
building
starts
to
fulfill
parts
of
that
master
plan.
But
this
view
also
just
kind
of
gives
you
this
this
shot
of
it,
which
is
the
view
of
the
athletic
shed
stacked
with
a
a
welcome
wing
or
a
wing
of
the
building
that
sort
of
welcomes
visitors
and
comes
closer
to
mount
vernon.
AO
This
is
the
the
design
you
see
here
has
been
developed
and
shaped
into
a
common
vision
made
possible
through
the
article
80
process,
including
bpda
urban
design
staff
and
the
16
teenagers
that
we
assembled
for
that
youth
advisory
board.
We
are
extremely
proud
to
have
taken
part
of
this
effort.
Even
the
process
of
design
was
a
point
of
connecting
the
community
next
slide.
Please,
I
think,
just
to
really
kind
of
walk
through
the
plans.
Here
you
have
three
levels
level.
AO
One
shows
the
main
entry
very
close
to
that
corner
of
mount
vernon
street
and
the
school
campus
to
the
right
inside.
There
you'll
have
a
a
welcome
desk,
essentially
a
reception
desk,
a
cafe,
that's
open
to
the
public
teaching
kitchen
studio
and
spaces
for
fitness,
as
well
as
the
athletic
portion
of
the
hard
ports
which
would
really
be
a
draw
towards
this
facility
on
floor.
Two.
AO
You
have
an
event
space
like
a
theater,
that's
sort
of
overhanging
the
the
front,
entry
and
sort
of
announcing
itself,
as
well
as
classroom
spaces
offices
for
the
martin
richard
foundation,
as
well
as
a
walking
track,
especially
for
people
elderly
parents
of
of
kids.
In
the
program
who
can
walk
around
the
hardports
and
see
down
below
really
again
a
place
for
gathering
and
connecting
people
in
in
wellness,
there's
also
a
roof
deck
that
faces
south.
That
would
be
sort
of
extensive
gardening
and
planting
program
on
that
as
well.
AO
AO
AO
AO
Next,
on
the
next
slide
really
or
last,
two
slides
the
renderings.
This
first
one
looks
over
the
lawn
and
towards
the
the
building,
and
the
building
itself
is
expressing
its
main
volumes
clearly
with
color
and
it
as
a
key
means
to
draw.
You
been
the
form
the
massing
moves,
and
even
the
interior
design
are
very
deliberate
about
communicating
this
notion
of
interconnection
and
intersectionality
next
slide,
please.
E
Great,
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
AO
We
are
hoping
that
this
would
be
the
end
of
2023
if
all
goes
as
planned,
and
that
is
has
been
a
a
goal
again.
We've
been
at
this
for
multiple
years-
and
this
is
a
is
a
big
moment
to
have
this
presentation
here
tonight.
U
This
is
a
fantastic
project
with
so
much
support,
but
I
wonder
if
you
can
talk
about
juggling
the
use
of
the
space
with
all
the
different
constituencies
that
are
going
to
want
to
use
it,
including
the
public
school
students
from
the
mccormick
endeavor,
and
you
know
how
you're
going
to
juggle
the
use
of
this
space
among
all
the
people
are
going
to
want
to
use
it.
AO
That's
a
great
question
and
one
we're
prepared
to
address
tonight
and
our
team,
especially
the
club
boys
and
girls
club,
have
been
in
direct
contact
with
bps
leaders
at
the
mccormick
school.
AO
This
parcel
was
awarded
through
an
rfp
process
with
the
bps
school
committee
and
within
that
it's
a
lease
that
spells
out
very
clear
terms,
and
you
can
imagine
that
during
the
day,
this
building
will
be
available
for
use
for
the
bps
students
for
just
about
anything
that
they
they
could
ask
for,
especially
physical
education,
a
little
bit
of
the
arts,
additional
classrooms
and
fitness
areas.
The
teaching
kitchen.
AO
These
are
all
things
that
are
were
meant
to
shape
and
strengthen
the
curriculum
that
they're
developing
now.
So
the
site
aspects
of
it
are
also
we're
being
flexible
with
with
their
needs
establishing
parking
requirements
that
their
teachers
may
have
as
well
as
events
for
us
as
well.
We
intend
to
create
a
memorandum
of
use
with
the
school
and
the
community
that
that
spells
everything
out
in
very
specific
terms,
and
that's
you
know
in
process
at
this
point.
E
All
right:
well,
I
think
this
is
an
amazing
amazing
resource
to
to
so
many
so
many
young
people
in
our
in
our
communities,
so
I'm
very
excited
for
it.
So
all
right
there
are
no
further
questions
or
comments.
Motion
is
in
order,
so
I'm
moved
thank.

good
evening.
Members
of
the
board,
as
steven
said,
mark
mcgonagall
bpda
community
affairs,
so
this
particular
project
lies
within
glover's
corner
planning,
study
really
along
the
northernmost
edge.
You
see
the
slide
here
in
front
of
you.
It
lies
in
that
yellow
and
red
section,
which
just
identifies
both
the
mix
of
housing
and
ground
floor
activated
commercial
space.
That
project
does
abide
by
that
those
those
ideas
in
the
draft
plan.
AS
It
also
abides
by
the
draft
recommendations
that
we
have,
at
this
point,
around
dimensions,
etc.
As
you're
well
aware,
this
plan
has
not
come
before
you
for
approval
yet,
but
we
do
have
draft
recommendations
that
we
are
guiding
projects
through
in
the
meantime
and
we're
hopeful
to
finish
this
plan
and
bring
it
to
you
next
slide.
Please.
AS
This
just
shows
the
site's
very,
very
close
proximity
to
the
seven
hill
t
station.
It's
only
about
300
feet
away
next
slide.
Please.
AS
AS
You
see
the
more
residential
field
tree
decker,
sort
of
building
typology
when
you
get
across
bay
street,
you
have
this
particular
building
and
then
a
lot
more
larger
buildings,
a
larger,
lighter
land
holdings,
let's
say,
and
so
that's
the
planning
gloves
process
took
that
into
consideration
around
really
having
a
transition
here
and
so
next
slide.
Please.
AS
These
are
just
some
shots
along
dorchester
avenue.
To
give
you
an
idea,
go
ahead
next
slide.
Please
mark.
AS
AS
You
can
bring
them
back
then.
I
just
wanted
to
add
a
brief
planning
context.
The
the
owner
of
this
building,
karen
diep,
a
woman
minority
owned
business,
has
been
operating
or
van
shabu,
the
restaurant
that
was
operated
there
for
some
time.
Those
of
you
who
are
aware
of
it
it
shut
down
shortly
before
the
pandemic,
but
the
you
know,
as
karen
was
thinking
about
what
to
do
next
with
that
space.
AS
The
pandemic,
of
course,
put
some
monkey
wrenches
into
those
those
ideas,
but
one
thing
she
is
confident
of
is
this:
reinvigoration
of
this
building
will
allow
her
to
reinvigorate
that
first
floor.
There
were
no
promises
made.
That
would
necessarily
be
vien
shabu,
but
she
is
a
long
time.
Owner
of
this
property
has
operated
businesses
in
the
neighborhood
and
and
again,
like
I
said,
is
a
woman
in
minority
owned
business
that
we're
very
proud
to
have
worked
with
on
this
project.
AS
AQ
Thank
you
very
much
mark.
My
name
is
william
buddy
christopher,
I'm
the
principal
architect
at
rca.
Our
client
came
to
us
to
try
to
develop
the
best
and
highest
use
for
this
property,
and
so
the
summary
of
the
project
you
have.
L
AQ
You
the
first
view
that
you're
looking
at
here
is
a
view
looking
north
on
dorchester
ave.
The
building
in
discussion
is,
on
the
right
hand,
side
next
slide.
AQ
This
is
looking
towards
dorchester
avenue
from
bay
street.
Behind
us
would
be
the
mbta
in
our
building
is
the
building
there
on
the
left
next
slide,
please.
AQ
These
are
very
simple
drawings
about
what
the
existing
building
looks
like
in
its
geometry.
This
is
the
front
on
the
right-hand
side
in
the
rear
on
the
left-hand
side.
Next
up
that
slide.
This
is
these.
AQ
Are
the
proposed
elevations
that
we're
we're
planning
to
do
we'll
be
putting
two
stories
on
the
we're
going
to
maintain
the
existing
building
to
take
advantage
of
the
stairs
and
the
elevators
and
the
footprint
of
the
building
we'll
be
adding
two
stories
to
that
building
and
then
we
will
be
augmenting
the
right
hand
side
on
the
on
the
front
elevation
with
with
the
matching
buildings,
so
that
we
would
have
a
commercial
space
on
the
first
floor
on
the
left-hand
side.
AQ
AQ
This
is
the
the
view
from
the
from
the
right
hand,
side
looking
at
at
the
building
looking
north.
What
we
have
done
here.
You
know
at
the
request
of
the
bpda,
which
we
worked
with
for
pretty
much
the
last
year
to
develop
this.
They
wanted
us
to
pull
the
existing
facade
of
the
building
a
couple
of
feet
in
so
that
they
could
have
10
foot
wide
sidewalks
going
down
to
rochester
ave,
which
is
one
of
the
driving
plans
for
the
glover's
corner
report
next
slide.
AQ
This
is
the
view
of
the
bay
street
side
elevation
again
the
front
of
the
buildings
on
the
right-hand
side,
the
left-hand
side,
the
small
green
area.
There
is
the
location
of
the
community
room
that
karen
has
added
into
this
project.
The
next
slide,
because
the
we're
proposing
you
know,
as
we've
said,
20
condominiums,
three,
three
affordables,
two
ground
commercial
spaces.
AQ
It's
all
evident
that
you
know
we
estimate
about
55
construction
workers,
984
ground,
floor
of
commercial
and
then
270
square
feet.
That's
the
community
space!
We
are
a
transit
oriented
location.
We're
within
you
know
less
than
a
four
minute
walk
to
the
t
station.
AQ
We
are
widening
the
sidewalk,
as
I
had
said,
we're
going
to
be
in
designing,
as
as
a
community
benefit
we're
going
to
be
as
part
of
this
project,
we're
going
to
be

At
this
time,
the
project
is
seeking
it
seeking
a
change
to
ownership
change
of
overall
parking
spaces,
as
well
as
additional
community
benefits,
not
included
in
the
original
approval.
The
proposed
change
goes

change
in
ownership
to
7993
west
broadway
llc
a
reduction
in
parking
from
88
to
up

Lastly,
the
additional
community
benefits
include
contributing
improvements
to
the
a
street
bike
lane
providing
blue
bike
station
within
proximity
of
the
site,
a
bike
share
subsidy
program
for
residents
of
the
building
and
a
49
thousand
dollar
financial
contribution
to
boston
transportation
department
for
blue
bikes.
Now

To
begin
the
presentation,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
members
of
the
public
elected

review
the
proposed

who
will
take
over
the
development
of
this
project
next
slide.
AU
The
proposal
is
for
a
six-story
residential
building
with
65
units,
eight
of
which
will
be
subject
to
the
inclusionary
development
policy
and
approximately
nine
thousand
square
feet
of
very
active
street
level
retail
space
with,
as
you
can
see
in
this
rendering
sort
of
an
arcade
that
has
been
pulled
back
to
create
the
possibility
of
a
nice
street
level.

Hudson
is
the
transportation
consultant
next
slide,
as
tyler
mentioned,
only
a
few
items
are
are
being
changed.
AU
A
few
things
changed
with
respect
to
the
transportation
mitigation
benefits
under
the
new
guidelines
for
the
blue
bikes.
The
financial
contribution
has
increased
from
25
000
to
49
000,
to
facilitate
the
placement
of
a
blue
black
blue
bike
station
on
west
broadway,
where
the
number
nine
bus
stop
is
now
being
discontinued
by
the
mbta
and
a
few
other
changes
were
made
to
a
private
way,
which
is
essentially
the
street
between
this
parcel
and
the
police
station
jointly
owned
to
the
center
line
by
the
police
station.
AU
The
box
on
the
right
shows
what
is
not
changing,
which
is
pretty
much
everything
that
this
board
previously
approved
with
respect
to
the
size
of
the
building.
The
unit
count
the
unit
mix
the
typology
of
units,
the
financial
contribution
under
the
community
benefits
agreement.
All
of
those
things
are
remaining
in
place
and
are
affirmed
and
confirmed
by
this
proponent
next
slide.
AU
So
the
project
location
is
right
in
the
middle
of
your
screen
there
at
the
intersection
of
west
broadway
and
8th
street,
obviously
a
very
busy
corner
in
a
neighborhood
where
very
much
development
has
occurred
and
continues
to
occur.
This
board
recently
approved
right
across
the
street,
a
new
project
at
the
amrite's
parking
lot
location.
Of
course,
there's
50
west
broadway,
a
large
apartment,
building,
11
west
broadway,
also
a
large
apartment
building
former
church,
which
is
condominiums.
AU
The
malls
diner
site,
which
is
now
residential,
certainly
proposing
a
residential
use
at
this
intersection,
is
consistent
with
pretty
much
all
of
the
development
that
has
gone
on
in
this
corridor
and,
of
course,
is
adjacent
to
the
dorchester
ave
corridor,
which
is
the
beneficiary
of
a
new
planning
study
and
is
spurring
much
residential
development
from
broadway
all
the
way
to
the
andrew
square.
T-Stop
next
slide.
AU
The
landscaping
plan
again
includes
this
pullback
of
the
building
in
the
front
to
create
a
nice
outdoor
cafe,
situation
in
the
hopes
that
a
restaurant
will
be
one
of
the
retail
spaces.
Approximately
right
here
in
the
middle
of
the
curb
is
where
the
current
mvta
bus
stop
is.
With
the
elimination
of
that
we're
picking
up
a
couple
of
parking
spaces
and
all
of
the
street
trees,
the
existing
ones
which
are
in
significant
distress
are
being
replaced
with
six
new
street
trees
along
the
front.
AU
Next
slide
typical
floor
plan
includes
10
2
bedroom
units
and
one
one
bedroom
unit
on
each
of
the
floors
of
the
building.
Next
slide:
a
very
extensive
rooftop,
landscape
and
deck
plan.
Many
of
the
units
will
have
private
decks
along
the
front
and
side
and
back
of
the
building,
and
then
the
center
part
of
the
roof
will
contain
some
common
area,
amenities
for
the
rest
of
the
units
in
the
building
that
don't
have
private
roof
decks,
but
also
significantly,
all
of
the
units
have
nice
little
balconies
attached
for
some
measure
of
usable,
open
space.
AU
AU
This
is
a
rendering
of
the
building
which
previously
went
through
very
extensive
bcdc
design
review
to
get
the
color
right.
It
is
a
granite
base,
with
a
terracotta
stone
to
create
that
nice,
warm
red
and
then
the
darker
band
across
the
top.
Also,
a
very
significant
architectural
feature
is
the
nice
glass
tower.
They
are
at
the
corner
of
a
and
west
broadway
to
create
very
interesting
living
space
in
those
units
and
to
create
a
very
important
place,
making
opportunity
at
a
very
busy
corner
next
slide
again,
just
a
softer
image
in
a
different
light.
AU
But
again
the
the
way
this
building
looks
and
feels
was
the
subject
of
much
discussion
and
review
in
the
prior
iteration
and
nothing
about
those
prior
approvals
is
changing
next
slide.
I
think
that's
it
yep
so
again:
eight
idp
units,
nine
thousand
square
feet
of
street
level,
retail
commercial
space,
60
bike,
storage,
spaces
and
gold
status
for
sustainability,
as
well
as
extensive
discussions
with
the
bpda
staff
for
article
37
compliance
to
make
the
building
as
energy
efficient
as
possible
in
light
of
technological
changes
that
are
being
incorporated
into
the
design.
AU
Yes,
dr
landsmark,
that
that
was
not
about
we're
doing.
We
were
actually
recently
told
by
the
mbta
that
they
were
discontinuing
the
number
nine
bus
stop
in
front
of
the
gas
station.
There's
there's
a
stop
at
west
broadway
for
the
red
line,
and
then
the
next
stop
is
b
street.
So
it's
sort
of
superfluous.
It's
it's
a
very
short
distance
between
the
existing
two
stops,
but
we,
we
just
were
recently
told
that
and
it
actually
enhanced
our
ability
to
make
the
streetscape
much
nicer
in
the
front
of
the
building.
E
E
Questions:
okay,
so
we
are
going
to
take
a
brief
five
minute
break
before
we
start
the
public
hearing
portion
of
this
meeting.
So
we
will
see
you
all
back
here
at
5
35.
Thank
you.
E
We're
moving
on
to
the
public
hearing
portion
agenda
item
number
22
so
for
this
simultaneous
spanish
interpretation
is
being
provided
for
this
meeting
using
language
interpretation
function
within
zoom.
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.
E
E
AV
AV
AV
E
Would
you
please
now,
in
turn
activate
the
interpretation,
we're
just
going
to
wait
a
few
seconds
for
books
to
join
the
interpretation
channel
and
for
the
interpretation
channel
to
pop
up
here.
G
Madam
chair,
there
appears
to
be
an
issue,
so
we
we're
going
to
need
to
pause
momentarily
until
we
figure
out
what's
going
on
with
interpretation.
E
Awesome:
okay:
well,
we
will.
We
will
pause
as
we
resolve
this
technical
issue.
So,
oh,
I
think
I
see
the
globe
so
all
right
we're
good
to
go
all
right,
perfect!
Thank
you.
So
you
can
now
leave
the
globe
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
and
can
join
so
if
you're
having
any
difficulty
activating
interpretation.
E
Please
take
note
and
call
the
number
on
the
screen,
and
that
can
help
you.
It
can
help
you
now
or
if
you
have
any
difficulties
later
in
the
meeting,
you
can
call
that
number.

E
E
AW
AW
This
project
exceeds
the
city's
inclusionary
development
policy
by
creating
24,
affordable
units,
which
is
14
of
the
total
units
on
site
and
by
skewing
the
unit
mix
to
favor
a
larger
two
plus
bedroom
units,
which
is
fifteen
percent
of
the
net
square
footage
that
are
critically
indeed
in
east
boston.
The
project
team
has
worked
in
close
collaboration
with
the
bpda
plan
east
boston
team,
to
integrate
the
project
into
the
community's
vision
for
reimagining
the
square.
I'm
happy
to
turn
it
over
to
angel
guzman
from
the
planning
team
to
discuss
this
further
in
detail.
AX
AX
I
am
here
this
afternoon
to
provide
planning
context
for
the
proposal
at
355
bennington
street
if
we
can
actually
go
to
the
next
slide
and
to
the
next
one
and
to
the
next
one.
Sorry
thank
you
here
we
go.
The
proposal
is
located
in
what
the
plan
refers
to
as
a
neighborhood
square.
AX
The
planning
team
delivered
draft
recommendations
for
all
squares
and
corridors
in
may
of
last
year.
In
addition
to
transformational
public
realm
improvements,
the
plan
envisioned
active
ground
floor
uses,
supported
by
added
height
and
density
in
all
squares,
particularly
on
sites
close
to
transit
service.
AX
AX
AX
To
conclude,
this
proposal
is
aligned
with
plan
east
boston's
mission
for
day
square
delivering
active
ground
floor,
uses
expanded
public
realm
and
enabling
critical
connections
to
the
mary
ellen
wilch
greenway
and
the
proposed
sl3
transit
transitway.
I
will
now
turn
the
presentation
over
to
the
proponent
team
to
present
the
project
in
more
detail.
Thank
you.
AY
Good
evening,
everyone
board
members
thanks
for
having
us
tonight,
as
as
mentioned,
my
name
is
liz
pedro,
I'm
with
reggae
the
developer,
and
I'm
going
to
briefly
talk
about
this
proposal
for
355
bennington
street
in
east
boston.
AY
Okay,
so
as
an
overview,
this
proposal
includes
the
creation
of
170
residential
units
for
rent.
We
also
estimate
that
this
development
would
generate
somewhere
between
300
and
400
construction
jobs
and
about
15
to
45
permanent
jobs
and
that's
through
on-site
property
management
and
the
new
retail
space.
AY
We're
proposing
a
new
pedestrian
and
bike
connection
for
it,
but
from
the
mary
ellen,
welch
greenway
to
daysquare,
we're
also
proposing
new
streetscape
and
dedicated
bike
lane
along
bennington
and
bremen
stream,
and
we're
committing
to
a
blue
bike
sponsorship
and
providing
204
total
bike
spaces
for
residents
and
visitors
or
the
public.
AY
We
also
met
with
three
neighborhood
associations,
two
of
them
harborview
and
maverick
central.
We
met
with
for
informational
purposes
because
we
were
close
to
their
jurisdiction
and
we
met
with
eagle
hill
civic
association,
from
which
we
received
a
support
vote
in
november
and
overall,
we've
received
a
significant
amount
of
positive
support,
letters
and
and
support
commentary
to
date.
So,
hopefully,
we've
conveyed
a
sense
of
collaboration
and
transparency
with
the
people
that
we've
engaged
with
next
slide.
Please.
AY
This
is
a
site
ariel
for
contacts.
You
can
see
the
355
bennington
street
site,
colored
and
yellow
it's
really
at
the
heart
of
day
square.
It's
right
next
to
excel
academy
and
it's
fronting
bennington
and
bremen
street.
The
bypass
road
runs
along
the
east
and
if
you
can
see
the
wood
island
mbta
station
labeled
near
the
top
right
of
the
aerial,
that's
that
station's
about
a
four
minute
walk
from
this
site
next
slide,
please.
AY
These
are
a
few
photos
to
convey
and
actually
there's
a
an
existing
conditions
photo
slide.
If
you
can
go
one
back,
I
believe.
AY
So
I
think
the
slide
may
not
be
here,
but
the
existing
conditions
of
this
side
right
now
the
site
is
being
used
as
a
sort
of
quasi-construction
staging
area,
as
well
as
for
some
temporary
parking
uses,
and
you
can
really
see
well,
you
can
sort
of
tell
in
this
photo
that
the
walking
path
along
the
side
is
is
really
lacking.
It
actually
has
very
torn
sidewalks,
there's
a
portion
along
bremen
street
that
actually
doesn't
have
a
sidewalk,
and
these
are
really
a
function
of
the
current
uses
of
the
site.
AY
So
this
is
our
proposed
site
plan.
The
dark
dash
line
that
you
see
there
is
the
site's
property
line.
AY
You'll
see
this
plan
locates
the
active
uses
which
are
the
retail
and
the
residential
lobby,
and
amenities
towards
bennington
and
bremen
streets,
just
to
help
activate
the
street
level,
and
you
can
see
we're
proposing
a
pocket
park
at
the
corner
of
bennington
and
neptune
road,
we're
proposing
new
streetscapes
extending
beyond
the
property
line
along
bennington
and
bremen
streets,
and
this
includes
new
sidewalks
street
trees,
lighting
outdoor
seating
areas,
as
well
as
the
dedicated
bike
path
and
I'll
note
as
part
of
the
new
streetscape
we're
proposing
a
raised
crosswalk
from
excel
academy,
which
is
noted
there
on
the
left.
AY
Also,
the
building
would
have
a
partial
below
grade
parking
garage
for
residents
which
would
be
accessed
through
the
road
between
excel
academy
and
this
site
to
avoid
entering
the
next
setting
off
of
bennington
and
bremen
street
and,
lastly,
between
excel
academy,
and
this
site
is
where
we're
proposing
two
things:
the
new
connection
from
bay
square
to
the
maryland
welch
greenway
and
the
transit
way
for
the
feature
silver
line
to
head
into
bay
square
as
envisioned
by
planets.
AY
So
where
you
see
that
a
thick
green
line
is
where
we're
proposing
a
10-foot
wide
path
for
pedestrians.
In
the
cyclist,
followed
by
a
five-foot
wide
planting
island
buffer,
and
to
the
right
of
that,
it
would
be
the
24
foot
wide
road
which
would
be
designed
to
mbta
standards
to
allow
the
silver
line
to
come
through
here
and
into
bay
square.
AY
So
this
is
an
overview
of
the
program
we're
proposing.
It
includes
370,
new
residential
rental
units
I
mentioned,
ranging
from
one
to
three
bedroom
units.
AY
As
a
note,
through
the
public
comments,
you
know
we
heard
a
need
for
larger
and
affordable
units
in
the
context
of
helping
to
enable
families
to
be
able
to
stay
in
east
boston
and
in
response
we
adjusted
the
enum
mix
to
increase
the
total
two
and
three
bedroom
units
which,
at
the
time,
resulted
in
an
overall
unicorn
reduction
for
this
project
and
we
increased
the
affordable
percentage
decimating
now
15
of
the
overall
net
square
feet,
that's
affordable
or
that's
14
of
units
and
of
those
we're
allocating
a
disproportionate
amount
of
the
affordable
square
footage
towards
the
larger
units.
AY
So
you
see
this
in
the
percentage
breakdowns
of
idp
units
which
reflects
the
higher
affordability
percentage
on
the
two
and
three
bedroom
units,
we're
also
proposing
a
0.48
vehicle
parking
ratio
per
unit
for
residents
parking
spaces,
as
I
mentioned,
for
residents
and
34
public
bike
parking
spaces
along
bennington
street
next
slide,
please.
AY
So
the
next
few
slides
are
rendered
perspectives.
This
is
a
view
standing
on
bremen
street
next
to
excel
academy.
AK
AY
One,
this
is
a
b
from
bennington
street.
You
can.
You
can
see
on
the
left
to
the
proposed
park
pocket
park,
which
I
I
honestly
don't
think
it.
The
rendering
does
justice
to
copley,
wolves,
landscape
design
there
and
there's
a
you-
can
also
see
the
dedicated
lighting
next
line.
AY
And
lastly,
this
is
av
from
base
square
javeli's
would
be
to
the
left
there,
and
in
this
slide
you
can
really
see
the
potential
to
activate
the
ground
level
and
you
can
get
a
glimpse
of
the
connector
to
the
greenway
on
the
right,
and
that
is
our
presentation.
We're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
E
Okay,
thank
you
great
presentation,
all
right
so
we're
before
we
go
to
board
questions
and
comments.
We're
gonna
do
the
public
hearing
portion
of
it.
So
again,
please
signal
by
raising
your
hand
on
the
zoom
panel
down
below,
if
you
would
like
to
testify
so,
madam
secretary,
do
we
have.
G
AZ
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today,
along
with
the
agency
members,
I'm
a
lifelong
resident
of
east
boston.
I
live
a
few
hundred
feet
from
the
proposed
project,
actually
that
building
that
you
saw
that
blue
and
white
freight
building.
I
worked
out
of
that
building
40
years
ago.
AZ
The
proposed
project,
as
was
mentioned,
is
a
few
100
feet
from
the
from
the
entrance
to
the
a1,
which
leads
to
both
tunnels,
both
the
ted
williams
tunnel
and
the
summit
tunnel
and
logan
international
airport.
AZ
The
exit
entering
route
one
is
across
approximately
five
or
six
hundred
feet
from
the
proposed
project,
which
is
easy
access.
The
mbta
station
is
approximately
500
feet
from
the
proposed
project.
AZ
The
bus
stop
is
right
across
the
street
and
that
project
intersects
the
two
main
streets
in
east
boston,
which
is
bennington
and
saratoga
street,
with
the
with
the
with
the
ongoing
construction
at
suffolk
downs
and
the
hundreds
of
people
who
are
working
there,
both
that
in
the
end
of
the
individuals
who
are
looking
forward
to
moving
to
east
bust
and
as
you
know,
we've
been
developing
over
the
last,
I
would
say,
eight
or
ten
years
has
been
developing
here.
There
is
a
much
needed.
AZ
What
we
need
is
is
is
is
much
more
housing
for
the
people
who
want
to
come
here
who
want
to
work
here
and
who
will
be
working
in
the
area.
AZ
BA
BA
I've
been
following
this
project
right
from
the
beginning,
one
of
the
discouraging
points
when
I
first
moved
these
boss
was
staying
at
that
red
light
and
seeing
this
this
blighted
area
to
my
right
and
just
very,
very
unsafe
was
the
first
word
that
we
would
come
to
mind
and
you
know
for
what
it's
worth
following
this
project.
I
feel
like
the
development
team
did
a
wonderful
job
really
really
securing
this
particular
intersection.
BA
Like
the
the
speaker
before
me
mentioned
how
this
truly
is
a
hub
connecting
a
lot
of
major
major
corridors
in
east
boston,
and
I
think
this
particular
proposal
really
really
ties
things
in
not
only
efficiently
but
really
really
safe.
I
I
often
walk
down
that
income
street
to
the
library.
With
my
daughter
and
every
time
I
get
the
dunkin
donuts.
BA
It's
always
that
sense
of
you
know
grab
my
daughter
by
the
hand
and
really
cross
the
street
with
caution
very
limited
signage,
really
a
corner
of
confusion,
and
this
project
has
really
really
really
cleaned.
That
up,
though,
very
very
much
in
support
of
this
project,
and
I
want
to
go
on
the
record
at
stating
that
thank.
BB
A
BC
Hi,
that
explains
why
you
couldn't
see
me
because
I'm
under
michael
benetti's
name
thank
you,
michael
in
any
event,
so,
first
of
all,
thank
you
to
everyone
for
being
here
today
and
I
really
appreciate
the
continued
civic
engagement
on
355
bennington.
I
want
to
say
that
you
know
it's
exciting
to
see
the
civic
associations
and
a
lot
of
people
in
the
community
be
excited
about
this
new
opportunity.
BC
I
will
acknowledge.
The
developer
has
been
intentional
in
some
parts
of
where
they
choose
to
develop.
They
didn't
pick
some
place
that
was
already
housing
people.
They
didn't
pick
a
place.
That
was
that
forced
them
to
displace
anybody,
but
I
do
want
to
to
note
I
I
won't
be
supporting
the
project.
I
also
will
not
be
opposing
it
outright.
I
do
have
the
following
things
to
to
explain
one.
BC
I,
while
I
appreciate
the
multimodal
of
transportation
options,
I
really-
and
I
appreciate
the
the
commitment
from
the
developer,
to
stand
by
and
to
make
sure
that
they
build
a
transportation
infrastructure
to
support
them.
I
can't
say
enough:
it's
not
there
yet
and
while
we'll
be
getting
hundreds
of
bikes,
we
don't
have
bike
lanes
on
bremen
street.
BC
Quite
yet,
and
so
I
understand
that
this
is
going
to
be
an
ongoing
conversation
and
it's
going
to
center
the
community,
and
so
when
I
see,
I
think,
a
better
studied
understanding
of
how
this
fits
in
and
how
all
of
these
different
individuals
and
entities
and
bikes
are
going
to
actually
move
instead
of
crowd.
That
area.
I
will
be
more
excited
about
this
project.
The
other
component
is-
and
I
appreciate
the
the
developer
came
down
in
unit
size
and
unit
count,
but
also
increased
some
unit
sizes.
BC
I
really
do
appreciate
someone
that
they're
listening
to
the
community
and
having
three
and
two
bedroom
units
in
the
building.
Of
course,
I
would
love
some
more
of
them,
because
I
do
believe
housing.
Families
should
be
a
priority,
but
I
want
to
acknowledge
that,
and
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
developers
deepening
the
affordability
for
the
larger
units,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
that.
BC
But
there's
also
something
about
when
who
builds
the
project
and
who
gets
on
there
and
who
can
afford
to
stay
there,
and
I
have
been
unapologetically
for
unions
and
for
making
sure
that
people
and
unions
have
access
to
be
able
to
work
on
these
jobs.
It's
about
the
local
economy,
and
so
I
understand
the
conversations
are
happening,
but
they
haven't
been
completed
quite
yet,
and
that
is
a
deep
concern
to
me
and
talking
with
the
developer,
I
do
know
that
there
will
be
at
some
point-
hopefully
some
labor
and
some
unions
on
the
job.
BC
I
personally,
this
is
something
that
matters
to
me,
because
I
do
know
that
the
the
most
diverse
construction-
I
guess
contractors
are
usually
union,
and
I
also
know
that
they're
guaranteed
a
certain
level
of
work,
quality
and,
more
importantly,
pay
rate,
and
so
this
matters
to
me-
and
I
so
I'm
not
ready
to
support
this
project.
Quite
yet.
I
I
hope
the
conversations
will
continue.
I
hope
this
is
part
of
your
understanding
of
the
bpda
is
about
as
your
as
you.
You
know.
BC
Your
mission
is
about
the
economic
development
of
the
city
of
boston
and
how
people
are
paid
and
what
they're
paid
to
get
work
done
and
on
the
projects
is.
It
is
part
of
that
narrative
as
well,
so
I
hope
that
we're
going
to
pay
them
enough
to
eventually
live
there,
and
I
think
we
can
get
there
so
until
then,
I'm
excited
for
this
opportunity.
I'm
excited
for
the
conversations
to
continue.
BD
G
BE
Great,
thank
you
hi,
I'm
chris.
I
work
at
excel
academy.
We're
the
direct
neighbor
excel,
supports
this
plan
for
355
bennington.
BE
We
think
that,
realistically,
this
property
will
be
developed
in
the
coming
years
and
want
to
have
a
responsible,
communicative
and
responsive
group
leading
that
development,
and
so
we
we
looked
for
somebody
who
would
ensure
student
safety
is
being
looked
out
for
and
that
there
is.
There
are
limited
disruptions
to
our
school
operations
and
we've
seen
that
over
the
past
few
years,
redgate
has
kept
excel.
Well-Informed,
has
consistently
shared
updates
on
plans,
they've
addressed
our
concerns
and
have
taken
our
input
into
early
planning
and
for
community
benefits
proposals.
BE
I
was
walking
out
there
just
this
morning
and
thought
about
it
and
we
think
improved
crossings
will
be
a
positive
for
our
students
and
staff
who
are
consistently
walking
in
front
of
that
area
and
commuting
to
school
and
it'll,
be
a
really
positive
benefit
for
the
overall
appearance
of
the
neighborhood.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
B
Hey
good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with.
We
all,
first
of
all,
just
want
to
put
a
note
here
that
our
day
spanish,
it's
not
working,
nobody
can
really
hear
anything.
It's
just
mutes
this
whole
time.
So
it's
unfortunate
because
it's
a
huge
hispanic
community
on
the
east,
boston
and
no
one
would
be
able
to
precipitate
on
this
on
this
tonight.
B
I'm
against
the
project,
I'm
not
in
favor.
I
hope
that
we
consider
this
back.
Maybe
in
the
future
will
be
the
right
thing
to
do
for
our
community,
but
just
like
the
other
project
on
edison
red
gay
didn't
do
everything
was
supposed
to
be
a
promise,
especially
into
the
community.
So
that's
the
reason
why
I'm
not
in
favor
of
this
project
and
if
anybody
could
fix
the
hispanic
translation
would
be
a
good
help
good
help.
Thank
you.
C
Hi,
thank
you
for
having
me.
How
are
you
this
evening
thanks
for
your
time,
just
want
to
speak.
I'm
the
executive
director
of
solution,
boys
and
girls
club,
and
although
I
can't
support
the
project,
I
want
to
commend
redgate
for
addressing
some
serious
safety
issues.
As
chris
lyons
just
did
a
moment
ago,
we
often
have
children
that
come
to
us
from
excel
academy
and
come
up
to
the
club
or
leave
the
club
at
different
hours
of
the
day
and
walk
back
down.
We
also
utilize
freeman
street
park.
C
BF
Hi,
thank
you
so
much,
madam
chairwoman,
vpda
and
the
proponents
of
the
project.
My
name
is
david
lank
I
own
and
operate
several
dozen
residential
housing
units,
mostly
actually
along
freeman
street,
my
brother
and
I
operate
our
business
out
of
east
boston
and
my
wife
and
I
are
actually
building
our
future
home
just
down
the
street
as
well
as
a
stakeholder
in
the
community.
I
want
to
just
vocalize
my
enthusiastic
support
in
the
project.
BF
I
think
so
many
things
that
the
the
developers
have
incorporated
into
this
project
are
wonderful.
I
agree
with
everybody
else.
Having
you
know,
walking
down
the
greenway,
passing
the
library
and
excel
approaching
day
square
is
really
is
nightmarish,
and
I
do
like
to
support
density
where
it
makes
sense.
I
think
the
site
is
perfect
for,
what's
being
proposed.
I
love
the
programming.
I
love
the
addition
of
a
larger
format:
first
generation
new
retail
space.
BF
I
think
that
that
will
play
a
huge
part
in
reinvigorating
a
day
square
and
encouraging
future
better
and
thoughtful
development,
wider
sidewalks,
more
trees,
really
the
the
bike
lane.
Even
though
I
do
appreciate
councillor
edwards
thought
that
there
isn't
dedicated
bike
lanes
necessarily
surrounding
the
project.
Currently,
I
think
that
developments
like
this
of
this
scale
incorporating
are
the
right
step
in
that
direction
and
again
I
wanted
to
to
localize
my
support.
Thank
you
so
much.
BG
X
Carrie,
yes,
madam
chia,
members
of
the
board
secretary
polemis,
director
golden
gary
walker,
electricians
and
technicians,
local
103.,
first
off
I'd
like
to
thank
the
council
for
advocating
on
behalf
of
union
construction.
It
also
I'd
like
to
also
speak
in
favor
of
the
project,
whereas
we
have
had
a
good
relationship
over
the
years
with
redgate
and
we
hope
to
continue
that
and
continue
conversations
to
this
project.
Thank
you.
BH
Thank
you,
melon
secretary
melon,
chair
members
of
the
board
minor
press
representing
hundreds
of
unique
carpenters
that
live
with
work
across
city
of
boston.
At
this
moment,
the
carpenters
union.
We
like
to
go
on
record
in
opposition
a
week
respectfully.
As
for
you
to
consider
in
the
pharaoh
and
the
carpenters
union,
our
residential
division
is
our
minority
minority,
local,
the
fastest
growing
local
in
new
england,
and
we
are
seeing
a
lot
of
people
being
impacted.
BH
Agreeing
and
we
talk
about
economical
justice
and
racial
justice
is
only
one
way
to
elevate
a
person
and
that
is
by
giving
them
a
profession,
giving
them
a
job
that
can
only
be
assured
if
subcontractors
are
higher
for
this
project
are
responsible
employers
who,
first
of
all
the
gc,
will
give
a
fair
shot
to
our
minority
on
companies.
Subcontractors
will
have
a
registered
apprenticeship
and
training
program,
so
people
are
not
just
hired
just
to
push
a
broom
all
all
buildings
on
the
waterfront
clipper
ship
excel
academy.
BH
They
all
use
responsible
subcontractors
and
that-
and
it
is
our
position-
that
to
have
340
people
work
here
in
construction
without
having
to
guarantee
that
they're
going
to
have
some
form
of
benefits
and
fair
wages
is
not
acceptable.
For
us,
therefore,
is
with
great
respect.
We
ask
you
to
please
consider
at
the
federal
thank
you.
AI
AI
A
huge
boom
to
the
businesses
that
exist
there
today
and
I
think,
just
a
type
of
impetus
we
were
hoping
for
for
decades
would
finally
come
into
our
square
and
looking
at
plan
east
boston,
I
can't
imagine
a
better
way
to
kick
off
plan
east
boston.
That
went
something
like
this
that
really
bakes
in
thoughtful
transportation,
but
also
a
beautification
of
the
square,
so
we're
wholly
behind
the
project
and
want
to
state
our
endorsement
tonight.
G
BI
BI
The
greenway,
the
new
library
and
the
schools
have
done
a
lot
to
that
area.
It's
always
been
vacant
dark
and
a
bad
walk
to
the
train
station,
really
not
safe,
that
whole
area
of
day
square
up.
That
corner
is
just
dark
and
desolate.
So
I
fully
support
this
project.
I
think
it's
going
to
bring
new
people
safety.
BI
They
talked
about
new
crosswalks
for
the
children
which
the
cars
get
on
greenman
street,
it's
very
dangerous
for
them.
I
think
it's
going
to
beautify
the
area
give
us
some
new
stores
there,
and
hopefully
that
spreads
into
the
rest
of
day
square
a
little
bit,
because
really
nothing
has
changed
in
day
square.
In
decades,
there's
no
new
stores,
there's
really
been
no
renovations.
BI
Everything
is
old
and
the
kids
are
young.
The
kids
are
going
to
school
there
for
them
to
see
all
these
vacant
buildings
is
not
really
good
for
the
community.
It's
time
to
do
something
with
it.
It's
been
there
for
decades,
it
looks
beautiful
and
it
has
a
lot
more
positive
things
than
anything.
That's
negative.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
it.
G
E
Okay,
we
will
take
a
brief
recess,
then
more
to
come.
E
And,
and
thank
you
to
the
thank
you
to
the
caller,
who
notified
us
of
the
spanish
interpretation
not
functioning
properly
so
based
on
that,
I
think
it
is.
We
think
it's
it's!
It's
fair
to.
You
know
postpone
this.
The
rest.
The
remainder
of
this
hearing
so
we'll
be
tabling
this
item
for
for
review
to
a
at
a
meeting
at
a
future
date,
so
that
we
can
have
all
the
proper
language
interpretation
in
place
and
functioning.
E
E
E
Yes,
absolutely
I
mean
we're
going
to
have
to
to
do
that,
but
at
another
at
another
meeting,
so
we
we
owe
it
to
our
to
our
community
to
make
sure
that
the
full
item
is
available
for
for
interpretation
and
in
the
languages.
So
we
want
to
follow
those
guidelines
and
and
yeah.
So
so
with
that,
I
need
a
motion
to
table
this
item.
U
K
K
BJ
E
And
the
chair
votes
eye
motion
passes,
so
this
item
will
be
tabled
or
is
tabled
and
again.
Thank
you
all
for
your
participation
and
we'll
you
know
be
in
touch
soon
with
the
scheduling
of
this.
G
U
E
Great
all
right,
so
we
will
now
move
on
to
the
next
public
hearing.
E
So
this
is
a
public
hearing
before
the
boston
redevelopment
authority,
doing
business
as
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency
being
held,
in
conformance
with
article
80d
of
the
boston
zoning
code.
To
consider
the
proposed
imp
amendment
to
the
northeastern
university
2013
through
2023
institutional
master
plan.
E
Okay,
so
this
hearing
was
duly
advertised
on
february
23
2022
in
the
boston
herald.
This
is
a
bpda
hearing
on
a
proposed
petition
by
the
agency
staff.
Members
will
first
present
their
kids
and
are
subject
to
questioning
by
members
of
the
agency
thereafter.
Anyone
who
wishes
to
testify
about
the
proposed
project
will
be
afforded
an
opportunity
we
are
taking
support
and
opposition.
At
the
same
time,
if
you
are
planning
to
testify,
please
take
time
now
to
verify
that
your
computer
microphone
is
active
click
the
hand
icon
on
your
zoom
control
panel.
E
This
will
signal
to
the
staff
that
you
would
like
to
speak.
When
your
hand
is
raised,
it
will
be
blue
if
you
are
calling
into
the
meeting
and
would
like
to
testify.
Please
dial,
star
9,
to
raise
your
hand
when
I
call
for
all
testimony
staff
will
announce
your
name
and
allow
you
to
talk.
You
must
unmute
your
microphone
and
your
webcam
will
not
be
active
in
an
effort
to
accommodate
all
who
would
like
to
speak
about
this
proposal.
Each
person
will
be
given
up
to
two
minutes
to
comment.
E
Bpda
staff
will
indicate
when
30
seconds
remain
at
that
time.
Please
conclude
your
remarks
so
that
the
hearing
may
continue,
and
others
may
be
heard
at
the
conclusion
of
all
oral
testimony
and
the
email
testimony
will
be
read
aloud.
Finally,
the
proponents
are
allowed
a
period
of
5-10
minutes
for
rebuttal
if
they
so
desire.
BK
The
proposal
is
not
a
development
project,
but
it
involves
interior
furniture
changes
to
rooms
in
the
east,
village
and
international
village
residence
halls.
This
increase
in
student
beds
attempts
to
mitigate
the
over-enrollment
of
roughly
1
000
full-time
undergraduate
students
in
fall
2021
by
providing
approximately
900
more
beds
on
campus
in
the
short
term
for
these
additional
students
without
additional
beds.
This
over
enrollment
of
freshmen
has
the
potential
to
create
immediate,
additional
stress
on
adjacent
neighborhood
housing
stock
in
the
coming
academic
year.
BK
As
such,
the
community
discussion
around
this
proposal
remains
engaged,
thoughtful
and
crucial
to
future
housing
planning
by
the
university
and
by
the
city.
The
bpda
hosted
two
public
meetings,
one
in
the
fall
and
one
last
month
to
discuss
this
proposal.
We
heard
from
everyone
students
themselves,
parents
of
students,
residents
of
roxbury
mission
hill
and
the
fenway
university
administrators
and
elected
officials
in
the
most
recent
meeting,
northeastern
committed
to
a
corrective
underenrollment
in
the
upcoming
academic
year
to
offset
the
additional
students
that
were
admitted
this
year
most
crucially.
BK
While
this
proposal
is
a
short-term
solution,
a
potential
short-term
solution
to
an
immediate
problem,
the
need
for
mid
and
longer
term
solutions
will
require
continued
engagement
from
all
the
stakeholders
mentioned,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
community
for
being
so
specific
and
so
thoughtful
in
the
meetings
that
we
held
with.
That
said,
I'll
now
turn
it
over
to
john
tobin
from
northeastern,
and
he
will
begin
the
presentation
and
then
we'll
be
happy
to
hear
from
any
members
of
the
public
who
would
like
to
testify.
Thank
you.
BL
Thank
you
very
much
eddie
good
evening,
chia
rojas
director
golden
secretary
paul
james
members
of
the
board
staff
members
of
the
public.
My
name
is
john
tobin.
Vice
president
of
city
and
community
engagement
at
northeastern
university
tonight,
as
eddie
said
we're
discussing
an
institutional
master
plan
amendment
the
proposed
dorm
upsizing
of
two
existing
northeastern
university
residence
halls,
east
village
and
international
village.
BL
Chin
is
one
of
the
many
industries
facing
a
time
of
profound
uncertainty
due
to
the
covet
19
pandemic.
Nationally,
undergraduate
students
numbers
are
down
by
nearly
a
million
start,
started
the
pandemic
and
by
almost
three
million
over
the
last
decade.
Fortunately,
many
of
boston's
universities
have
counted
this
national
trend.
BL
P
Thank
you
good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
director
golden
secretary
polinas.
My
name
is
victoria
abellina
and
I'm
an
associate
vice
president
for
campus
planning
and
design
at
northeastern
we're
here
today,
because
we're
looking
to
increase
how
many
students
reside
in
two
of
our
newest
residence
halls,
international
village
and
east
village,
beginning
fall
of
this
year.
We
want
to
convert
a
portion
of
our
single
rooms
to
doubles
and
a
portion
of
double
rooms
to
triples
for
a
total
increase
of
up
to
900
beds
across
the
two
buildings.
P
This
will
allow
up
to
900
additional
students
to
reside
in
our
campus
housing.
Next
slide,
please,
as
outlined
in
our
institutional
master
plan
and
guided
by
city's
housing
plan.
Our
goal
is
to
house
as
many
of
our
students
on
campus
as
possible,
and
these
two
residence
halls
present
an
opportunity
to
achieve
this
goal
within
our
existing
footprint.
P
We
plan
to
get
this
done
through
furniture
solutions
with
no
changes
to
the
room
counts
in
either
of
these
buildings.
If
this
change
is
approved
by
this
board
and
the
zoning
commission,
the
room
assignments
will
be
done
this
spring,
we'll
complete
the
work.
This
summer
and
the
room
rates
will
be
reflective
of
the
change.
P
P
Our
fall
2021
first
year
class
was
4
500
students,
which
is
about
a
thousand
students
more
than
in
a
typical
year,
due
to
in
large
part,
to
a
pent-up
demand
caused
by
the
pandemic.
We
had
17
more
applications
and
more
students
than
before,
except
our
accepted.
Our
admissions
offer
pended
demand
due
to
covet
deferrals
and
withdrawals,
resulted
in
what
we
call
a
bulge
year.
C
P
11
000
undergraduate
students
on
our
campus
majority
are
first
and
second
year,
students,
the
900
beds
that
we're
asking
for
accounts
for
just
eight
percent
of
our
total
bed
count,
and
it's
just
one
of
the
many
efforts
we're
undertaking
to
match.
Our
housing
supply
was
the
demand
for
students
out
of
6
300
northeastern
employees.
1600
are
boston
residents,
and
last
year
we
spend
about
110
million
dollars
on
minority
and
women-owned
business
enterprise
and
small
business
enterprise
suppliers,
and
we
haven't
made
a
commitment
to
an
80
reduction
in
carbon
emissions
by
20
20
50.
P
as
an
institution
with
the
largest
student
population
in
boston,
we're
committed
to
mitigating
our
impact
on
cities
already
tight
housing
market.
We
will
do
this
by
working
with
our
neighboring
community
and
the
city
in
developing
to
develop
a
long-term
housing
strategy.
Through
our
upcoming
imp,
we
will
also
use
the
imp
process
to
identify
meaningful
and
impactful
community
benefits.
E
Thank
you
for
your
presentation,
so
this
is
a
public
hearing,
so
we
will
now
move
to
the
testimony
portion
of
this
item
secretary
pohes.
Do
we
have
anyone
who
would
like
to
testify.
BM
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
I
can
hi.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
am.
My
name
is
amelia
bergenti.
I
am
a
former
student
of
northeastern
I
graduated
last
year
and
I'm
not
in
favor
of
this
proposal
under
the
presentation
that
was
given.
Well,
I'm
very
sympathetic
to
the
housing
crisis
in
boston
and
the
efforts
northeastern
is
making
to
mitigate
that.
BM
The
the
current
rate
for
a
student
for
a
triple
in
iab
comes
to
about
13,
or,
I
think
about
1200
a
month
1100
a
month,
and
I
just
think
that
is
not
fair
to
the
students
being
placed
in
such
small
cramped
housing
to
pay
that
much
for
a
single
room
that
they're
sharing
a
bathroom
with
multiple
other
people
and
they're
only
paying
for
a
room.
BM
Not
even
you
know,
they
don't
have
a
kitchen,
which
means
they
also
have
to
buy
a
meal
plan
which
is
also
very
expensive
for
students
and
again,
while
I
understand
the
need
for
increased
housing
due
to
the
bulge
year.
I
just
think
that
if
this
proposal
is
to
go
through,
there
needs
to
be
serious
consideration
about
the
housing
costs
and
what
northeastern
can
do
to
mitigate
that
which
was
not
presented
here
so
as
it
currently
stands
with
the
information
given.
I
am
not
in
favor
of
this
proposal.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
BN
Northeastern's
bad
behavior,
you're
encouraging
it.
This
will
never
end.
These
907
beds
are
going
to
go
in
they're
not
coming
out.
There
was
no
end
date
on
this
proposal.
You've
encouraged
northeastern's,
bad
behavior,
you've
encouraged
them
to
continue
to
over
enroll,
give
an
excuse
for
it
and
just
keep
up
with
it
say
no
like.
Besides
for
the
philosophical
part
of
what
you
tolerate,
you
encourage,
this
is
a
terrible
idea.
These
students
don't
want
it.
I
talked
to
students,
I
was
a
student
and
I
asked
john
and
kathy
on
the
call
if
they
talked
to
students.
BN
Of
course,
I
didn't
get
a
response.
Students
don't
want
this.
A
single
room
has
one
closet.
That's
a
very
tall.
Ask
to
ask
these
students
who
have
been
through
a
lot
over
the
past
two
years.
Hey,
would
you
mind
sharing
a
closet
now?
I
really
think
northeastern
needs
to
get
more
creative
and
clean
up.
This
mess
they've
made,
and
I
also
want
to
say
they
said
that
this
is
going
to
click.
This
is
going
to
create
housing
stock
in
the
neighborhoods,
the
students
that
live
overwhelmingly
in
ivy
and
pretty
much
eevee
as
well.
BN
East
village,
they're,
freshmen
and
sophomores
they
have
to
live
on
campus.
These
students
are
already
here
and
they're
living
in
hotels,
northeastern
just
can't
is
unable
or
perhaps
unwilling
to
renew
the
contract
with
the
hotels.
I
really
think
that
we
cannot
accept
this
proposal.
The
board
should
draw
a
line
in
the
sand,
say
no,
don't
allow
northeastern,
don't
encourage
northeastern's
bad
behavior
and
allow
them
to
get
creative
with
it.
They
can
house
people
in
their
living
room
or
somewhere
else.
BN
So
with
my
final
30
seconds
again,
what
you
tolerate
you
encourage
guys
make
the
decision
tonight.
This
will
never
end.
These
beds
will
never
come
out
and
northeastern
is
going
to
keep
on
asking.
Can
I
put
another
bed
in
this
space?
Zoning
says
we
can
don't
do
it.
Thank
you,
members
of
the
board.
I
appreciate
you.

Yes,

members

madam

I'd
like
to
speak
speaking.
Strong
support
of
this
project
northeast
has
been
a
a
long
user
of
union
construction
in
this
town,
and
we
certainly
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
for
continuing
to
create
these
drugs.
Thank
you.
BH
Thank
you,
madam
secretary,
but
then
chairman
was
the
board
miner
perez
representing
the
carpenters
union.
We
wanna
go
on
record
and
support
of
this
project
due
to
the
fact
that
nor
easter
is
always
committed
to
use
responsible
employers
on
the
projects
and
something
that
we
love
tremendously
is
the
fact
that
they
always
push
for
the
boston
plan.
Minorities
and
people
from
the
neighborhood
have
to
be
high
on
their
projects
and
with
that
we're
in
favor
of
the
great
thank
you.
Z
Hi,
I
just
have
a
quick
comment
for
the
the
presentation
itself
and
how
it's
being
given
to
zoom,
I
I
do
like
the
process
and
all,
but
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
make
comments
and
send
questions
and
then
to
be
able
to
answer
me
while
the
presentation
is
going
on.
I
think
this
feature
that
is
not
offered
here
should
be
offered
because
there's
a
lot
of
little
questions.
Z
I
have
here
and
there,
and
I
imagine
other
people
do
too
and
this
feature
should
be
part
of
the
zoom
meeting.
That
is
all
thank
you.
BO
Good
evening,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
madam
secretary
members
of
the
board
and
ms
abellina,
for
your
presentation.
My
name
is
michael
burns.
I'm
a
council
representative
for
the
northeast
sheep,
regional
council
of
treatment
workers,
local
17,
here
in
the
metropolitan
area.
BO
You
know
I
think
I
do
hear
some
of
the
concerns
of
the
students,
but
you
know
all
of
us
need
to
recognize
a
lot
of
our
residents
here
in
boston.
Coming
out
of
high
school.
Don't
have
the
opportunity
to
go
to
secondary
schools,
so
we
appreciate
northeastern's
partnership
with
the
boston
building
trades
to
give
residents
of
the
city
a
pathway
to
a
career.
People
have
grown
up
in
these
neighborhoods,
not
just
the
job
but
the
career
and
the
construction
trade.
So
I
rise
tonight
to
wholeheartedly
support
this
project
and
thank
you
all
for
your
time.
E
Okay,
mr
carmody,
do
we
have
any
written
testimony
to
be
right
into
the
record.
BK
The
first
letter
reads
as
follows:
my
daughter
is
a
freshman
and
currently
lives
in
a
single
and
international
village,
as
everyone
knows
who
may
have
read
through
the
imp.
F
that
is
being
considered
tonight
is
that
the
university
is
seeking
to
add
additional
bets
that
are
available
by
code
based
on
the
minimal
square
footage
for
sanitary
and
plumbing
requirements.
BK
They
want
to
convert
rooms
that
are
currently
single
occupancy
to
double
occupancy
and
rooms
that
are
currently
doubles
to
triples.
The
university
is
using
the
argument
that
this
requested
amendment
is
allowable
and
needs
code.
My
opinion
is
that
they
have
not
evaluated
this
request
based
on
the
human
element
and
the
negative
impact
that
it
will
have
on
the
resident
students.
BK
The
amendment
states,
that
quote
the
project,
consists
solely
of
reconfiguration
of
the
existing
student
vetting
areas.
End
quote
the
floor.
Plans
provided
in
the
amendment,
lists
the
room,
floor
area
occupancy
limit
and
requested
occupancy.
Nowhere
in
the
document
does
it
indicate
how
the
rooms
are
currently
being
utilized
from
an
occupancy
standpoint
and
what
the
initial
occupancy
intent
was
when
the
dorm
buildings
were
initially
designed
and
built.
This
amendment
is
somewhat
misleading,
because
all
the
university
is
doing
is
adding
more
furniture
and
beds
to
an
already
cramped,
dorm
room
and
lifting
space
for
the
students.
BK
During
the
bpda
meeting
held
last
month
on
february
16th,
the
university
used
the
phrase
that
they
are
quote:
upsizing
the
dorms.
This
is
not
a
true
statement.
All
they
are
doing
is
increasing
the
population
density
of
an
existing
building.
The
requested
increase
in
student
population
density
above
their
current
occupancy
is
an
increase
of
29
in
the
east
village,
dorm
building
and
58
in
the
international
village
dorm
building.
It
should
be
noted
that
international
village
was
originally
designed
for
1200
beds,
and
now
the
university
wants
the
building
to
accommodate
1900
beds.
BK
BK
As
stated
in
our
november
2021
letter,
while
we
initially
were
pleased
to
see
announced
that
increases
at
northeastern
aligned
to
long-term
planning
goals
of
increasing
on-campus
housing
and
the
commitment
of
northeastern
to
construct
1
000
new
on-campus
beds
within
the
10-year
imp
term,
we
were
alarmed
at
the
news
that
these
beds
would
instead
be
used
to
address
pandemic-related
over-enrollment
by
the
university,
especially
since
this
news
was
absent.
Any
commitment
for
dealing
with
short-term
increases
in
context
to
larger
planning
or
enrollment.
BK
Our
request
at
that
time
was
to
hear
how
northeastern
intended
to
deal
with
housing
pressures
induced
by
the
over-enrolled
class
as
it
matriculated,
and
what
steps
the
university
would
take
to
avoid
similar
over-enrollment
from
happening
again.
At
its
february
16th
meeting
northeastern
representatives
outlined
both
a
plan
for
housing
for
fall
2022,
as
well
as
longer-term
commitments
related
to
student
over
enrollment.
BK
We
understand
that
the
university
has
committed
to
a
reduction
in
2023
enrollment,
proportionate
to
its
2022
enrollment
as
a
way
to
assure
no
net
increase
in
undergraduate
bodies
over
the
long
term.
We
appreciate
this
commitment
as
we
believe
it
supports
the
long-term
requests
of
the
task
force
and
helps
distinguish
the
separation
of
conversations
related
to
campus
planning
and
neighborhood
housing
goals
and
I'll
stop
there.
The
next
piece
of
written
testimony
reads
as
follows:
hello,
I
am
writing
to
voice
concern
regarding
northeastern's
plan
to
turn
singles
into
doubles
and
doubles
into
the
triples.
BK
Please
consider
the
mental
health
of
these
kids,
the
suicide
rate
among
college
students
and
the
depression
rate
is
at
an
all-time
high.
Please
do
not
contribute
to
more
mental
health
challenges
for
these
kids,
unlike
any
other
recent
generation
of
college
kids,
they
have
had
more
stress.
The
academic
pressures
put
on
them
are
great.
BK
There's
no
space
at
the
library,
kids
are
on
floors,
trying
to
study
and
then,
if
they
cannot
study
in
the
room,
there's
going
to
be
more
of
an
epidemic
of
destroying
mental
health
for
this
generation,
please
vote
against
expansion
and
the
next
piece
of
written
testimony
comes
from
the
same
person
and
reads
as
follows:
hello,
I
want
to
share
my
concern
and
many
other
parents
concerns
about
the
mental
health
of
these
kids
having
to
survive
in
a
room
that
was
only
built
up
for
one
or
bill
for
two
with
the
overcrowding
issue.
BK
BK
BK
The
rooms
in
east
village
are
not
especially
large
for
a
double,
and
that
ceiling
heights
are
not
such
that
a
student
would
be
comfortable
with
fully
lofted
beds,
which
would
be
required
in
order
to
fit
an
additional
set
of
student
furniture
in
this
sized
room.
Each
room
is
configured
with
only
two
small
shelf
and
hanging
areas
for
clothes.
The
space
between
beds
in
the
current
configuration
is
limited.
BK
Additionally,
one
of
the
furniture
sets
would
need
to
be
placed
directly
in
front
of
the
only
window
in
this
room
to
accommodate
a
third
person
blocking
any
significant
light
from
entering
the
room.
I
believe
that
students
housed
like
sardines
in
a
room
created
to
be
a
double,
would
significantly
impact
the
student
experience
and
mental
health.
BK
BK
The
next
piece
of
the
written
testimony
reads
as
follows:
dear
board,
members,
I
would
like
to
start
with
the
fact
that
my
two
children
are
current
members
of
the
nu
community
and
are
filled
with
husky
pride.
While
there
are
numerous
strengths
to
nu,
prestigious
and
academic
programs,
great
travel
and
study
abroad
opportunities
and
a
wide
array
of
valuable
co-op
experiences,
there
are
also
some
serious
concerns
that
need
to
be
addressed
due
to
over-enrollment
and
a
lack
of
resources
to
support
the
current
students.
BK
I
am
writing
in
strong
opposition
to
increasing
the
number
of
beds
in
international
village,
east
village
and
other
dorms.
I
have
a
junior
and
a
freshman
who
both
requested
to
complete
their
first
semester
abroad
at
northeastern.
They
are
not
transfer
students
and
were
admitted
to
nu.
My
son
was
placed
in
international
village
when
he
returned
for
its
second
semester.
It
was
a
very
tight
space.
I
cannot
imagine
the
negative
impact
the
students
will
experience.
Additional
beds
are
installed
in
these
already
cramped.
BK
We
need
to
set
our
students
up
for
success.
Our
daughter
was
placed
off
campus
in
a
hotel
upon
her
return.
This
january.
Initially,
I
was
upset
with
her
inability
to
live
on
campus,
but
now
realize
how
overcrowded
the
dorms
are
and
am
grateful
that
she
was
placed
there.
Unfortunately,
students
are
competing
for
study
space
and
too
often
find
themselves
sitting
on
the
library
floor.
BK
In
addition
to
the
lack
of
study
space
students
start
experiencing
overcrowding
in
the
cafeterias
and
are
often
not
able
to
use
the
required
meal
plan.
Hopefully
nu
will
address
the
over-enrollment
issues
and
find
better
solutions
to
provide
necessary
resources
for
our
students,
such
as
adding
more
dormant
space
and
continuing
to
rent
space
in
local
hotels
instead
of
overcrowding.
The
current
dorm
space
ifnu
wishes
to
continue
to
expand
and
not
to
reduce
enrollment.
BK
Thank
you
in
advance
for
your
assistance
and
I
believe
we
have
two
more
and
the
next
one
reads
as
follows:
to
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency
board,
I'm
the
parent
of
a
northeastern
university
freshman.
I'm
writing
to
share
my
concerns
about
the
plans
to
upsize
the
international
village
and
east
village
dormitories.
BK
I
listened
to
the
february
16th
epda
public
meeting
and
I
was
grateful
to
learn
more
about
the
process
and
the
issues
from
a
variety
of
perspectives.
I
realize
that
there
is
no
ideal
solution
to
the
problems
created
by
a
very
by
a
very
large
freshman
class
and
I
empathize
with
the
concerns
of
the
community.
BK
It
is
positive
to
learn
that
northeastern
university
has
committed
to
an
admissions
process
yielding
a
smaller
class
in
2026.
However,
at
the
bpda
meeting
there
was
no
mention
of
n-u-n
admissions
numbers.
The
university
does
not
consider
nun
students
as
part
of
the
regular
admissions
numbers.
These
students
typically
start
college
abroad
for
one
semester.
BK
After
that
point,
they
come
to
northeastern
university's,
boston,
campus
technically
as
transfer
students
during
the
2021-2022
school
year.
There
are
many
hundreds
of
nun
students
living
in
boston
in
the
westin
and
sheridan
hotels,
because
the
international
programs
were
affected
by
kovid.
My
son
is
one
of
those
students
living
at
the
westin.
I
did
not
hear
any
mention
of
nun
at
the
february
16th
public
meeting.
Will
the
nun
cohorts
for
the
class
of
2026
be
smaller?
BK
This
is
an
essential
question
for
the
bpda
board
to
ask
the
university.
These
students
will
directly
impact
dorms,
off-campus
housing
and
the
boston
communities
surrounding
the
campus.
What
is
the
actual
size
of
the
current
freshman
class,
including
nun
students?
I
urge
the
board
to
ask
northeastern
this
question.
BK
This
plan
was
unsupported
at
the
start
by
many
iv
students.
We
were
alerted
by
surprise
one
day
that
the
university
was
suddenly
deciding
to
cram
more
beds
to
an
already
small
iv
room.
We
did
not-
and
I
repeat,
did
not
get
to
input
our
opinions
into
this
matter.
They
steamrolled
ahead
with
the
changes
without
consulting
iv
students
and
resident
assistants.
BK
None
of
us
students
had
to
say
over
the
directors
who
decided
this,
who,
may
I
remind
others,
do
not
dorm
with
the
students.
Of
course,
it's
obvious.
These
well-paid
directors
who
have
their
own
large
homes
would
be
so
out
of
touch
with
the
student
opinion,
and
it's
absurd
that
they
cannot
just
it's
absurd
that
they
can
decide
on
such
a
win
when
they
don't
know
how
we
live
and
feel
paying
around
six
thousand
dollars
this
already
small
space.
BK
BK
There
would
be
barely
any
space
to
move
freely
through
the
room.
Additionally,
this
would
mean
that
instead
of
the
normal
two
people
sharing
one
bathroom
now,
four
people
will
share
the
space.
You
wouldn't
feel
comfortable,
sharing
one
toilet
and
shower
with
three
other
different
people.
Would
you
pending
this
off,
I'm
firmly
against
the
storm
expansion
by
northeastern
university,
and
I
encourage
you
all
to
be
so
as
well,
not
just
for
the
rights
of
international
and
I
will
stop
there
and
that
concludes
the
written
public.
Testimony.
S
Okay,
I've
got
a
couple
of
questions.
It's
brian
and
I'm
wondering
when
northeastern
first
became
aware
of
this
significant
over
enrollment.
P
So
for
over
enrollment
we
have
finalized
numbers
in
september
when
we
had
students
arrive,
and
we
report
them
out
in
october.
S
P
Because
so
the
re
the
way
and
I'm
going
to
look
to
my
colleague
kathy
spiegelman,
to
to
chime
in
but
the
way
enrollment
works
is
there's.
What
is
called
a
melt
is
that
during
the
summer,
students
may
have
put
deposits
for
multiple
institutions
and
then
decide
to
go
elsewhere.
So,
even
though
they
have
put
a
deposit.
P
So
we
don't
know
the
exact
numbers
till
september.
S
BL
Brian,
we
brian
with
the
university
of
california
report,
is,
is
due
by
ordinances,
you're,
probably
aware
to
the
city
the
first
couple
weeks
of
october.
It
was
surely
thereafter,
I
think,
the
week
or
two
later
we
scheduled
it
was
a
scheduled
inp
meeting
about
8
40
the
proposal
about
840
columbus
avenue,
but
at
that
time
there's
always
time
for
other
conversation.
What's
going
on,
so
that's
when
we
revealed
because
we
wanted
to
have.
BL
We
had
a
pretty
good
idea
what
was
going
on
in
september
and
october,
but
we
wanted
to
have
the
official
numbers
that
were
audited
by
our
folks.
So
we
could
inform
the
public
before
they
heard
it
from
anybody
else
and
informed
the
task
force
before
they
heard
it
from
anybody
else.
BQ
BQ
This
is
kathy
spiegelman,
I'm
the
vice
president,
chief
of
planning,
real
estate
and
facilities
at
northeast,
my
colleagues,
victoria
and
john.
We,
the
admissions
folks,
are
you
know
they
can
never
predict
exactly
to
the
person,
but
they
are
trying
to
be
under
enrolling
and
thinking
about
a
wait
list
so
that
we
can
actually
hit
that
25
good,
not
3200.
BQ
We've
made
that
commitment
and
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
live
up
to
it
and
going
forward
we're
also
looking
at
rolling
back
those
enrollments,
because
the
the
intention
was
not
to
expand
the
population
for
any
length
of
time.
It
happened
to
us
this
year
and
we
realized
we
created
a
problem
and
we're
we're
really
trying
to
solve.
S
S
What
other
than
you
know
going
from
a
single
to
the
double
or
just
moving
more
furniture
into
these
tight
rooms?
What
other
options
were
explored.
BQ
Well,
we're
in
the
hotels,
so
the
hotels
were
an
option,
but
the
hotels
were
really
an
option
because
of
what
kogit
was
doing
to
the
hotel
business
and
so
that
that
was
explored.
We
actually
were
trying
to
use
our
own
real
estate
and
our
own
buildings
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
I
will
say
that
it
it's
not.
Every
single
is
becoming
a
double
or
every
double
is
becoming
a
triple
and
we're
we've
been
very
careful
to
look
at
rooms
and
the
not
every
single
is
the
same
size.
BQ
Not
every
double
is
the
same
size
and
and
try
and
look
at
the
rooms
where
it's
most
appropriate
and
we,
our
residential
life
people,
do
not
believe
that
it
will
be
a
hardship
for
the
students
and
I
think,
as
victoria
indicated
in
her
proposal,
we
do
have
a
lot
of
students
who
would
like
to
keep
the
cost
of
housing
low.
BQ
S
Of
I
agree,
but
that's
sort
of
not
not
what
their
agreement
or
their
understanding
was
coming
into
this,
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
some
way
either
looking
at
additional
hotel
rooms
to
soften,
so
that
there's
not
as
many
of
these
students
in
such
tight
quarters,
with
access
to
the
library
and
and
just
very,
very
tight
living
quarters,
I'm
just
making
sure
that
you've
explored
every
option
to
to
try
to
make
this
bad
situation
acceptable
for
the
neighbors
and
for
the
students.
BQ
I
appreciate
that
and,
as
I
said,
I
think
you
know
we
were
in
the
midtown
hotel,
but
the
midtown
hotel
is
slated
to
be
joined
down.
The
business
at
the
westin
has
taken
back
up.
BQ
They
want
to
rent
hotel
rooms,
we
are
still
in
the
sheraton,
but
I
I
will
say
that
the
the
it's
not
the
existing
students,
one
of
the
things
that
happened
to
us
in
the
fall,
was
that
students
who
are
living
on
the
campus
now
misinterpreted
that
we
were
actually
going
to
put
students
in
the
rooms
that
they're
living
in
now.
S
U
U
Housing
more
students
on
your
campus
in
order
to
free
up
housing
in
fenway
mission,
hill,
roxbury
south
end
for
working
families
and
permanent
residents,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
when
we
approved
the
dorm
that
already
exists
on
columbus
ave,
the
privately
managed
dorm.
U
I
did
ask
about
enrollment
at
that
time,
because
adding
dorms
only
helps
with
that
problem
and
achieve
that
goal
if
enrollment
stays
the
same,
and
so
here
we
are
a
few
years
later
and
we're
moving
in
the
wrong
direction
for
achieving
that
goal.
You
know,
enrollment
is
going
up
and
the
housing
crisis
continues
in
our
neighborhoods.
U
How
are
we
going
to
improve?
How
is
northeastern
going
to
improve
transparency
around
enrollment?
I
think
it
needs
to
show
the
community
and
meet
with
the
community
meet
with
the
public
about
enrollment
at
least
every
year,
maybe
twice
a
year
and
show
enrollment
numbers
show
the
trends
and
project
forward,
what
the
enrollment's
going
to
be
and
simultaneously
show
how
they're
going
to
house
more
students,
as
opposed
in
relation
to
the
enrollment.
So
I
would
like
to
hear
about
that.
U
BQ
So
I'll
take
that,
if
I
could,
I
think,
in
the
conversations
we've
been
having
with
our
task
force
and
with
our
neighbors,
we've
tried
to
make
it
clear
that
by
lowering
enrollment
next
year
and
then
continuing
to
keep
the
enrollment
back
to
the
pre-pandemic
pre-bulge
year,
we're
expecting
not
to
expand
the
size
of
the
undergraduate
population
and,
as
requested
by
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency.
We've
agreed
to
have
open
meetings
to
talk
about
enrollment
on
a
regular
basis.
BQ
A
BQ
So,
in
addition
to
housing,
our
students,
understanding
that
that's
only
one
component,
that's
contributing
to
lack
of
opportunity
for
people
to
stay
in
the
neighborhoods
and
for
people
to
have
housing
that
allows
them
to
both
stay
and
thrive.
And
so
I
think
it's
a.
K
U
BQ
So,
certainly
in
terms
of
fire
safety,
everything
will
be
reviewed
with
the
code
agencies
of
the
city
for
every
debt
that
we're
adding
and
every
day
that
they're
changing
we've
already
submitted
and
had
conversations
with
the
inspectional
services
department
in
terms
of
covered.
We
had
a
pretty
rigorous
program
over
the
past
couple
of
years,
where
students
felt
that
they
had
a
roommate
that
was
sick
and
they
felt
vulnerable
to
that.
We
found
ways
to
either
actually
most
recently,
to
rent
a
hotel
room
or
in
another
way
find
a
way
for
them
to
be
separated.
BQ
If
they
wanted
to
be
separated,
we
had
wellness
housing.
That
was
for
isolation,
but
in
fact
the
students
really
didn't
take
a
lot
of
advantage
of
it.
They
really
that's
not
really
how
they
wanted
to
handle
it,
and
I
think
now,
because
we
all
understand
that
covid
is
probably
endemic
as
opposed
to
a
pandemic.
We
have
to
constantly
be
vigilant
about
you
know.
BQ
We
have
a
testing,
we
have
testing
available
to
students
and
we
have,
on
a
absolutely
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
to
make
sure
that
every
student
on
the
campus
gets
what
they
need.
BQ
I
think
two
things
happened
last
year:
one
was
whatever
the
algorithms
are
that
assume
that
predict
how
many
students
you're
going
to
bring
in
were
actually
not
reliable
last
year
because
of
coving,
so
there
were.
It
was
hard
to
understand
how
many
students
were
willing
to
come
to
a
resident
live
in
a
residential
situation
in
the
campus
and
two
was
more
students.
BQ
Well,
hopefully,
because
we
know
we
have
a
whole
history
of
how
many
students
typically
come
and
we
feel
we're
out
of
the
coveted
impact
on
students,
decisions
about
how
they
choose
a
college.
And,
as
I
mentioned,
I
think
we're
trying
to
be
conservative
and
kind
of
undershoot
a
little
bit
and
perhaps
with
a
waiting
list
get
to
the
2500
that
we
think
the
incoming
class
could
be
without
having
more
negative
impacts
on
the
campus
and
on
the
other
students.
BQ
No,
the
nun
students
have
typically
been
about
1700
and
that
they
come
back
in
the
spring
and
they
mostly
come
back
and
occupy
housing
for
students,
who've
gone
out
to
co-ops
outside
the
area
for
other
kinds
of
abroad
programs.
So
it's
kind
of
a
swap
up
for
how
they
come
in.
So
the
number
that
has
traditionally
been
articulated
it
wasn't
about
making
up
a
number.
It
was
how
many
students
are
here
in
september
in
the
fall.
That's
what
the
city
accountability
report
requires.
BQ
So
yeah.
We
have
more
nun
students
this
year
too,
and
we're
rolling
that
back
as
well,
but
they
they're
not.
They
typically
come
in,
because
other
students
go
out.
J
BQ
E
All
right,
I
have
a
few
questions,
so
I
just
want
to
clarify:
are
these
reconfigurations
and
bad
editions?
Is
this
your
temporary
solution,
or
is
this?
Do
you
intend
to
kind
of
permanently
have
these
singles
are
now
doubles?
Doubles
are
triples.
E
BQ
It's
hard
to
answer
that
question.
I
think
we
understand
that,
having
accepted
this
larger
class,
it's
going
to
take
a
few
years
for
us
to
get
back
to
the
population
that
we
had,
and
we
don't
know
whether
these
additional
beds
will
be
a
problem
or
whether
students
who
come
to
live
in
them
have
a
problem
with
that.
We,
I
think
we
all
want
to
have
as
many
students
living
on
campus
as
possible.
BQ
So
if
it
turns
out
that
the
bids
that
we
add
work
out
and
allows
us
to
have
more
students
on
campus
and
fewer
students
in
the
neighborhood,
it
might
be
something
that
we
all
want
to
consider.
E
Do
you
have
any
again
any
renderings
or
just
again
configurations
or
just
trying
to
get
my
arms
around?
Like
you
know
the
you
know
whether
or
not
these
bad
additions
are
are
reasonable
or
are
you
know
again
going
to
be
creating
a
situation
where
students
don't
want
to
live
in
these
like
over
crowded
rooms,
and
then
they
end
up
going
outside
and
and
going
to
going
to
the
neighborhoods,
because
this
is
not
a
you
know,
a
enjoyable
living
situation.
BQ
So
the
on
our
campus,
freshmen
and
sophomores
are
required
to
live
on
campus
and
the
upper
class
students
tend
to
take
the
apartments
and
actually
tend
to
get
access
to
more
of
the
singles
than
the
freshmen
and
sophomores
do
so.
They
it's
not
as
though,
if
they
got
assigned
a
double
and
they
wanted
a
single
they're
going
to
go,
live
off
campus
because
their
our
residential
component
believes
that
it's
better
for
the
student
to
actually
be
on
the
campus,
those
first
two
years.
BQ
E
BQ
Well,
there
is
that
there's
the
basic
plans
of
the
building,
but
you
know
students
get
in
and
they
move
things
around
and
furniture.
You
know
you
can
put
different
kinds
of
furniture
in
the
room
and
so
sure
we
have
an
idea,
which
is
how
we
came
up
with
the
900
number.
It's
not
every
single
and
every
double.
BQ
BQ
We
submitted
drawings
to
the
of.
What's
in
what
the
configuration
is
of
what
the
building
room
is
so
those
exist,
we
submitted
them
to
the
inspectional
services
department,
okay,.
E
BQ
E
Okay,
but
they
wouldn't.
BQ
You
know
I
I
hear
your
question.
I
think
the
housing
prices-
and
I
I'm
not,
unfortunately,
I'm
not
in
the
res
like
component,
but
typically
it's
not
based
on
particularly
based
on
square
footage.
It
can
be
based
on
what
building
it's
in.
We
have
older
buildings
and
we
have
newer
buildings.
It's
based
on
whether
it's
a
single
or
a
double
it's
based
on
whether
it's
a
suite
or
an
apartment,
so
there's
a
whole
range
of
different
prices,
based
on
a
whole
evaluation
of
amenities
that
go
along
with
a
particular
dorm.
BQ
E
I
guess
I
I
I
think
the
experience
of
the
student
is
going
to
be
different
with
you
know,
with
these
configuration
changes
and
yeah,
I
just
really
hope
that
you
have
that
accounted
for
in
the
in
the
rate
rate,
adjustments
that
are
that
are
done.
That
are,
you
know,
fair
to
students
who
are
again
already
paying
a
you
know,
significant.
A
E
BQ
E
E
This
is
just
a
tough
one.
I
guess
in
the
event
that
you
don't
kind
of
you're
not
able
to
kind
of
we
end
up
in
the
same
place
right.
You
don't
hit
that
25,
not
100
number
right.
So
then
what
you
know
then,
what
happens?
Do
you
go
back
to
you
know
the
hotel
room
like
I'm
just
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
like
you
know
the
the
risk
here.
BQ
I
think
yeah.
I
hope
that
doesn't
happen.
We
really
hope
that
doesn't
happen.
We
are
doing
everything
we
can
with
our
with
the
folks
in
enrollment
management.
To
not
have
that
happen.
Certainly
our
first.
You
know
the
first
way
we
tried
to
solve
this
problem
is
with
this
proposal.
That's
before
you
this
evening.
We
you
know
we
would
probably
think
about
hotels
that
they
were
available
before
we
think
about
going
and
renting
more
apartments
in
the
neighborhoods
so
kind
of
as
a
progression.
BL
And
chair
rojas,
if
I
may
just
we
also
hope
to
you-
know,
re-engage
the
community
again
once
again
on
our
plans
at
840
columbus
avenue.
I
know
it's
a
couple
years
off
and
getting
it
built
to
construct
more
dorm
rooms
there,
and
we
know
our
master
plan
expires
a
year
from
this
november
november
about
2023
and
undoubtedly
there's
going
to
be
a
demand
and
an
ass
from
the
task
force
from
the
city
from
for
football
housing
on
our
campus
as
well.
E
Yeah,
absolutely,
I
think
this
is
a.
U
BQ
F
Yeah
before
we
go
back
to
others,
I
have
a
couple
of
comments,
no
questions,
but
transparency
has
been
brought
up
another
couple
of
times,
but
several
people,
and
by
some
approaching
25
years
between
the
zba
and
the
bra
and
there's
no
other
institution
in
the
city
of
boston
that
I've
experienced
that
has
more
transparency
with
the
neighborhood
than
northeastern
university
and
the
majority
of
people
that
were
opposed
were
ex-students
or
parents
and
having
been
a
parent
of
two
graduates
just
recently
one
last
year,
the
one
the
year
before
I
get.
F
F
In
some
cases,
there's
going
to
be
people,
especially
the
kids
that
are
paying
for
this
themselves,
are
going
to
have
an
opportunity
to
lower
their
costs
and
a
lot
of
parents
that
are
really
struggling
and
getting
home
equity
loans
and
no
idea
where
they're
going
to
find
the
money.
Now
they
have
an
opportunity
to
have
lower
lower
rent
so
to
speak
and
they're
going
to
handle
it.
I
guess
the
same
way:
if
a
two-bedroom
is
worth
x
now,
there's
three,
then
it's
going
to
divide
by
three
versus
two:
that's
a
good
thing.
F
I
have
some
real
estate
and
these
kids,
when
they
graduate
they're,
always
looking
to
stuff
more
kids
in
there
to
make
the
rent
make
the
rent
lower,
and
I
hear
them,
but
I
also
go
in
some
of
my
apartments
to
do
work
and
sleeping
on
whatever
doesn't
seem
to
be
an
issue
with
them
when
they
graduate.
So
my
guess
is
probably
not
much
different
when
they're
in
school.
F
You
know
as
a
parent,
I
visited
college
as
my
daughter.
Six
and
seven
years
ago,
universities
go
above
and
beyond
to
woo
these
students,
I
mean
it's
amazing.
I've
looked
at
them
as
if
this
is
better
than
the
home
that
I
live
in,
and
so
I
find
it
hard
to
believe
this
is
a
situation.
Northeastern
wants
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
disgruntled
kids
and
parents
they're
going
to
want
to
they're
going
to
want
to
fix
this
thing.
F
Very
quick,
because
you
know
bad
news
travels
better
quicker
than
the
good
news
and
it's
economics
101
supply
and
demand.
Nobody
could
anticipate
covert
coming
what
we've
had
to
experience-
and
this
is
this
is
another
example.
They
didn't
want
this.
They
didn't
expect
this
and
and
there's
another
side
of
it.
It's
a
good
thing
when
we
have
more
students,
there's
hartford
connecticut,
would
love
to
have
this
problem
and
900
young
kids.
F
Adults
living
on
campus
versus
competing
with
residents
from
apartments
is
a
good
thing
not
to
mention
containing
their
partying
in
the
dorm
versus
the
neighborhood.
We
have
people
actually
policing
them
and
the
people
again,
if
I
was
a
property
owner
in
that
area,
I'd
be
disappointed
that
I'd
be
losing
out
on
this
block
potential
renters
to
compete
with
others
and
drive
the
rents
up.
So
I
think
it's
good
for
the
neighborhood
and
probably
why
we
haven't
heard
one
person
in
opposition
that
lives
in
the
neighborhood
they're,
probably
not
aware
of
it.
F
If
they
were
they'd,
be
speaking
in
favor
of
that,
this
is
a
good
thing
and
containing
them,
and
when
new
dorms
coming
on
columbus,
ave
and
northeastern
has
a
business
decision
to
make
I'm
sure
they're
working
overtime.
Looking
for
housing,
that's
already
built
to
solve
this
problem.
They
don't
want
this
problem.
F
So
here
we
are
with
the
decision
to
make
and-
and
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
you
know-
an
adult
way
to
deal
with
it
and
I'm
in
favor
of
it,
and
because
it's
going
to
get
rectified
quick
because
they
know
those
that
aren't
happy.
It's
not
good
they're
going
to
be
looking
to
go
elsewhere,
their
sister
or
brother
don't
come
here,
they're
they're
in
a
pickle,
and
I
think
they'll
figure
it
out.
They're
smart.
BR
People
so
madam
chair.
C
BR
Leading
up
to
this,
this
action,
that's
in
front
of
you,
we've
been
working
closely
with
the
administration,
particularly
with
chief
dylan.
This
is
an
issue
that
the
administration
takes
very
seriously,
and
it's
something
that
you
know
is
in
front
of
us
and
is
at
a
decision
point,
but
it's
also
something
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
hold
all
of
our
institutions
responsible
for
quality
of
life
relative
to
their
students.
BR
So
I
just
want
to
stress
that
this
is
something
that
we
are
continuing
are
going
to
be
continuing
to
monitor
working
closely
with
with
the
administration
and
making
sure
that
we
are,
you
know
not
just
kind
of
saying
things,
but
actually
monitoring
it,
and
you
know
we
will
obviously
with
the
imp
coming
up.
We
we
fully
expect
this
to
be
a
something
that
is
going
to
be
front
and
center
as
they
go
through
their
regulatory
process.
E
Thank
you
yeah,
so
I
mean
I
think
this
is.
You
know
we're
in
the
position
that
we're
that
we're
in
right
now
and
you
know
we
do
have
to
to
make
a
decision.
E
But,
as
you
said,
this
will
be
front
and
center
from
the
imp
perspective,
and
you
know,
I
think
the
the
expectation
is
that
you
know
there's
a
real,
clear
plan
on
enrollment
and
you
know,
and
housing
and
and
learning
how
to
and
having
a
plan
that
that's
going
to
manage
it
appropriately.
So
we're
not
back
into
this
this
situation,
so
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
J
AB
E
BB
P
BQ
You
thank
you.
Thank
you.
We
we
will
work
to
earn
your
trust
and
keep
on
the
promises
that
we
made
tonight
and
not
get
back
to
this
situation
in
front
of
you
again.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

AA
AA
The
site,
as
lance
said,
is
south
of
the
morrissey
boulevard
draw
bridge.
It
is
immediately
south
of
the
expressway
toyota
across
the
street,
from
the
7-eleven
store
and
also
north
of
the
excuse
me
north
of
the
7-eleven
across
the
street,
from
the
cvs
we've
got.
Salt
sheds
between
us
that
recently
built
by
the
d.o.t
massdot
and
the
expressway
the
site
was
for
many
years
back
in
the
1970s,
a
westminster
dodge
dealership.
Unfortunately,
it's
the
it's
still
an
old
building,
it's
probably
the
most
antiquated
of
all
the
50
plus
or
chambers
buildings.
AA
AA
We
propose,
on
our
2.2
acre
site,
to
move
our
28
000
square
foot
new
footprint
to
the
right
and
replace
our
old
dilapidated
facility
with
a
state-of-the-art
four-story
building
that
will
have
to
the
right
on
the
lower
right,
rendering
which
is
looking
at
it
from
the
victory
road.
Varsity
boulevard
side
you'll,
see
our
service
entrance
to
the
right.
AA
There'll
be,
you
know,
play
rooms
for
children
and
all
that
will
be
on
the
first
floor.
This
car
will
be
immediately
taken
to
the
service
bays
which,
in
the
site,
plan
and
first
floor
plan.
That's
done
to
the
left.
That
area
will
be
to
your
right.
There
will
be
30
service
bays
to
service
the
cars,
the
cars
that
we're
not
ready
for
yet
will
go
up
up
the
ramps
upstairs
one
thing,
you'll
notice
in
the
lower
right,
rendering
is
there's
a
lot
of
glass.
AA
We
started
off
with
a
lot
less
glass
there's
a
lot
of
the
building
on
the
upper
floors
is
from
inventory
and
parking
to
be
more
of
a
self-contained
building,
so
that
we
don't
have
cars
all
over
the
place
and
looking
for
cars
to
bring
in
and
bring
out,
you'll
see
that
the
the
architectural
features
have
evolved.
Since
we
started
our
project
in
the
fall
of
2019,
we
had
a
lot
of
involvement
with
the
communities
from
both
pokesale
clan
point
and
port
northwark.
AA
Most
of
them
wanted
a
more
interesting
building.
Since
half
the
building
is
basically
a
parking
garage
you're
trying
to
disguise
it
as
a
high-end
office
building
using
acm
panels,
we
were
asked
to
unify
the
glass
on
the
corners
to
bring
it
into
a
more
uniform.
We're
asked
to
make
the
class
levels
at
the
same
height.
Our
architect
did
a
great
job,
working
with
the
bcbc
and
being
responsive
to
their
concerns.
Bpd
has
staff
concerns
and
also
the
public
concerns,
so
we've
unified
the
elevations
we've
put
glass
on
all
sides.
AA
If
you
look
to
the
right,
you'll
see
what
they
refer
to
as
lollipop
windows.
That's
just
a
car
ramp,
but
we've
tried
to
make
it
look
more
interesting.
The
the
staff
in
the
bcdcs,
the
honda
wave,
which
is
required
design
element
from
honda
below
it
to
be
more
pedestrian
friendly.
So
that's
what
we
have
and
that's
overall,
what
we're
proposing
could
we
go
to
another
slide
glance?
AA
This
is
the
site
plan
that
really
shows
where
you'll
be
entering
on
marcy
boulevard,
bpda
staff,
in
conjunction
with
our
transportation
person,
jeff
dirk
from
vanessa
associates,
asked
they
asked
that
we
moved
the
entryway
further
north
by
about
150
feet,
so
that
would
line
up
with
the
exit
on
on
the
on
the
other
entrance
on
freeport
for
easier
access.
They
also
were,
even
though
we
assured
them,
based
on
our
experience
on
commonwealth
avenue,
that
there
wouldn't
be
any
viewing
at
all.
AA
They
wanted
to
make
sure
that
if
there
was
any
queuing
outside
it
would
be
on
our
property
and
not
on
morrissey.
If
you
look
closely
on
the
right
right
hand,
side
of
this
picture
you'll
see
eight
cars
cued
inside
and
those
we'll
never
probably
even
have
eight
cars,
because
we'll
have
the
valets
immediately
taking
them.
The
area
to
your
left
is
the
customer
lounges
and
the
service
writing
areas.
The
areas
to
your
right
are
on
the
service
base.
AA
The
next
floor
up,
which
we're
not
going
to
go
to
at
this
time
is,
is
excuse
me,
that's
our
main
showroom
and
that
will
have
glass
on
all
three
sides:
varsity
victory
on
your
left,
freeport
and
the
expressway
on
the
upper
side
to
our
east,
and
the
thing
that's
noteworthy
about
this.
AA
While
we're
looking
at
the
entire
plan,
is
we
start
a
site
with
absolutely
no
green
on
it
and
what
we're
adding
is
we're
adding
over
10
000
square
feet
of
green
on
all
sides
on
the
left
side,
I
think
it's
one
of
the
more
interesting
sides.
We
we
have
proposing
a
10
foot
sidewalk
to
fund
a
bike
and
pedestrian
a
normal
sidewalk
is
about
five
feet,
wide,
we're
proposing
to
increase
that
and
have
a
public
private
parks
on
the
on
each
corner.
AA
We
have
we'll
have
benches
pavers
lighting
and
those
and
the
the
importance
of
that,
as
is
especially
because
dci
is
proposing
a
bikeway
along
the
front
of
our
path.
There'll
be
a
bikeway
and
a
walkway.
Those
are
shown
alternating
in
gray
and
white.
I
believe
the
gray
is
actually
the
sidewalk
in
the
and
the
white.
Is
the
bike
proposed?
AA
Psychopath
there'll
be
another
one
proposed
to
extend
the
the
river
bike
trail
that
comes
over
by
fort
norfolk
convenience
here,
and
I've
ridden
a
hub
on
wheels
a
couple
of
times
and
it
you
ride
them
as
pristine.
The
parts
of
valley
trail
and
you
get
dumped
out
on
freeport
street
with
cars
whizzing
by
you.
So
this
will
be
great
to
have
the
bike
trail.
AA
The
the
plantings
that
we
we've
planned
are
on
all
sides,
particularly
as
enhanced
planting
on
the
victory
side,
but
you'll
notice
also
that
we
have
no
entrances
on
the
victory
side.
Presently,
there's
two,
but
what
we're
doing
is
we're
closing
off
two
of
those
entrances
again
the
request
of
the
request
of
the
bbda
staff,
so
that
we
will
create
a
more
pedestrian
friendly
experience,
looking
forward
to
looking
at
what's
presently
there.
You
know
we
had
our
lumber
liquidators
across
us.
AA
It's
now
going
to
be
a
tile
center,
but
we
think
morrissey's
on
the
increase
to
our
right
off
off
camera.
To
our
right
are
the
new
apartments
at
780
mars.
You
go
about
where
the
old
phillips
candy
house
were.
They
have
four
to
excuse
me
they're,
five
or
six
stories
above
podium
parking,
which
means
we
will
be
approximately
65
feet.
Tall
they'll
probably
be
well
into
the
70s
from
ground
level.
Looking
over
the
expressway,
they
will
be
almost
200
000
square
feet.
AA
We
are
112
600
square
feet,
as
lance
said
in
their
proposing
phase
two,
which
will
double
that
size,
so
they'll
be
three
and
a
half
to
four
times
bigger
and
they
will
be
taller
than
us
so
viewing
from
the
south
coming
up
from
the
express
rate
from
the
south
we're
looking
across
the
three-quarter
mile
from
the
venezia
fort
northward
area.
We
will
be
obscured
from
that
direction
by
these
they're
partially
obscured
are
completely
obscured
by
the
unexpected
salt
jets.
That.
BS
AA
AA
Okay,
that's
great!
Thank
you
all
right.
I
know
it's
getting
late.
This
is
a
view.
These
views
are
from
the
morrissey
victory
side.
We
believe
this
we've
made
a
lot
of
changes.
We've
made
a
lot
of
improvements
over
the
year
and
a
half
we've
been
at
it.
We've
lowered
the
canopy,
we've
unified
the
glass,
as
you
can
see,
from
being
uneven
to
being
even
on
all
sides.
AA
We've
added
lollipop
windows
when
necessary,
we've
enhanced
the
landscaping
continually
and
we've
done
everything
we
can
to
work
within,
and
we
feel
that,
even
though
it's
been
a
long
process,
it's
benefited
the
the
community
and
the
city,
and
ultimately,
we
get
a
better
design
out
of
it.
We
had
to
twist
some
arms
with
ponder
to
agree
to
a
few
things
that
they
don't
do,
but
formulas
are
meant
to
be
changed.
This
also
shows
the
slide
that
may
says
up
now
shows
you
the
double
barrel:
the
high
speed
doors
entering
next
slide.
AA
AA
We
put
the
glass
there
to
create
a
more
of
a
office
building,
look
give
it
a
little
more
architectural
interest
blast.
This
is
insulated
glass,
it
costs
money
and
the
panels
are
all
acm
panels
that
you'd
normally
see
on
a
high-end
office
building.
So
it's
a
honda
may
be
known
as
a
budget,
a
budget
car
but
there's
not
too
much
budget
about
this
building.
Next
slide,
please.
AA
This
is
from
the
victory
freeport
side
and
the
lower
slide,
particularly
so
there's
a
before
and
after
shots
and
this
particular
this
is,
as
the
we
have
all
the
design
we're
asked
to
green
it
up.
As
you
can
see,
we
took
it
very
seriously.
We
eliminated
that
entrance
on
that
side
as
long
as
well
as
another
one.
We
use
that
space
for
pocket
packs,
which
I
thought
would
be
a
good
idea
and
the
community
embraced
them.
We've
got
pavers,
we've
got
benches,
we've
got
lighting,
we've
got
enhanced,
shrubbery
we've
got
some
mounting
they.
AA
There
was
a
lot
of
talk
about
the
pedestrians
experience
we're
taking
a
car
dealership.
It's
still
a
car
dealership,
but
what
we
can
do
is
try
to
integrate
it
into
the
community
and,
with
these
upcoming
improvements
proposed
by
dcr,
do
our
part
with
these
public
private
pocket
packs
and
the
expanded
sidewalk
slash
bikeway.
If
you
will
we'll
probably
we
will
be
rebuilding
the
sidewalks
on
all
sides
and
doing
the
planting
the
planting
on
mars.
AA
AA
The
lowest
slide
shows
what
we're
building
here's
a
nice
clean
shot
of
the
building
next
slide.
Please
we
going
back
to
this.
We've
worked
very
hard
with
the
igbc
and
the
green
building
people.
This
is
probably
the
most
energy
efficient
green
building
chambers
has
ever
built
solar
panels.
You
name
it.
We
got
it
everything.
It
costs,
money,
we're
cognizant
of
flooding
in
the
area,
we're
contributing
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
a
deployable
floodgate
toward
its
design.
Thank
you
very
much.
I've
been
asked
to
stop.
Can
I
go
over
it?
Lance
or
am
I
restricted.
E
All
right,
thank
you
very
much
and
we
now,
since
this
is
a
bubble
hearing,
we'll
begin
the
public
hearing,
testimony
portion
of
this
item
so
secretary
clinton's.
Do
we
have
anybody
that
would
like
to
specify.

Hi,

did
come
to
the
port
and
offload
meeting
that
they
to
be
honest.
They
didn't
come
till
about
two
months
ago,
so
they
came
at
the
last
minute.
They
did
come,
but
they
needed
a
little
a
little
bit
of
arm
twisting
there
to
get
them
there.
BD
So,
let's
be
honest
and
what
was
said
at
the
meeting
was
that
we
wish
that
they
lowered
the
building
and
spread
it
out
if
they
have
so
much
land
instead
of
the
higher
building.
BD
It
also
protects
the
views
of
dorchester
from
the
waterfront
if
you're
looking
from
castle,
island
or
umass,
boston
or
quincy,
or
on
a
boat
or
gordon
offer,
you
see
the
hills
of
dorchester.
You
see
the
beautiful
blue
hills
in
the
background,
which
is
on
the
the
seal
of
manchester
that'll
all
be
gone.
Instead,
we're
just
going
to
see
honda.
BD
I
should
also
point
out
that
this
entire
area
is
high
hazard,
flood
and
storm
water
runoff
area.
If
you
look
at
the
climate
ready
dorchester
and
the
boston
waterless
floor,
inundation
studies,
this
is
an
extreme
area.
I
also
want
to
point
out
the
neighborhood.
The
entire
neighborhood
board
is
in
the
quantum
river,
which
is
in
the
area
of
critical
environmental
concern,
but
generally
protects
the
environment
and
protects
recreational
areas
as
well,
and
these
recreational
areas
are
used
by
minority
communities.
BD
Pharisee
boulevard
hasn't
been
figured
out
yet
with
its
all
issues
and
there's
no
t
stop
in
the
area.
Yet.
We've
had
no
vpda
neighborhood
comprehensive
study
of
the
area
instead,
everything's
being
approved
one
piece
at
a
time,
building
a
wall
between
dorchester
and
the
waterfront,
and
this
just
isn't
fair
other
neighborhoods
have
had
huge,
comprehensive
studies.
BD
BD
The
state
is
trying
to
improve
waterfront
connections
and
internet
improvement
in
its
beaches,
pots,
marcie
boulevard
is
becoming
green
and
upon
suprema
will
run
right
behind
the
city
itself,
has
ideas
of
improving
victory,
road
and
tinient
beach,
but
climate
resiliency,
environmental
improvements
and
seating
beauty?
All
of
these
areas
will
be
seen
we'll
see
this
project
sticking
up
over
the
side
of
the
expressway.

Yes,
good
evening,
all
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Madam
secretary
members
of
the
board.
Again,
my
name
is
michael
burns.
I
am
a
council
representative
for
northeast

sheet
metal
workers,
local

here
in
boston.
On
behalf
of
my
membership,
I
rise
tonight
to
support
this
project.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
X
Yes,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
director
golden
once
again,
gary
walker
electricians,
vocal

I'd
like
to
speak
with
trunks.
Thank
you
very
much.
BH
E
Okay,
thank
you,
secretary
feminist
lance.
Do
we
have
any
email
testimony
that
needs
to
be
read
into
the
record.
BS
There
are
no
emails
that
have
come
in
in
the
near
in
the
recently
I
have
none.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
E
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
So,
let's
move
on
to
board
questioning.
Do
we
have
any
comments
or
questions
from
the
board.
AA
Yes,
dr
landmark,
thank
you.
I
did
not
mention
that
we
are
raising
the
building
two
feet
which
will
bring
it
above
the
beam
of
flood
level.
We
don't
quite
get
to
the
level
that
we
could
have,
because
the
surrounding
roadways,
of
course,
are
at
whatever
elevation
they
are
and
traffic
people
have
told
us.
We
created
unsafe
conditions,
but
we
are
raising
it
two
feet.
We
are
moving
all
our
mechanical
electrical
and
elevator
units
to
the
upper
floors.
AA
We
have
worked
with
the
igbc
and
miguel
cohen
chris
burch
and
the
the
flood
resiliency
side
of
that
that
group
to
flood
proof
with
breakaway
panels
and
things
like
that.
We
are
creating
10
000,
where
we
have
zero
stormwater
detention.
Now
we're
creating
10
600
cubic
feet
of
stormwater
detention,
so
we
have
a
basically
an
unengineered
site
where
we
have
no
green.
We
are
creating
over
10
000
square
feet
of
green.
I
heard
from
lance
yesterday
that
we
will
be.
AA
It
will
be
in
our
in
our
board
memo
that
we
will
be
making
unless
we
can't
do
it,
we're
going
to
be
exploring
at
pervious
pavement
all
around
we've
done
it
in
certain
areas.
We've
never
done
an
entire
site.
I
haven't
got
the
exact
verbiage
that
lance
has,
as
has
included,
but
we
will
we
will
we
have.
We
have
committed
to
this
project.
We
would
have
given
that
a
long
time
ago,
if
we,
if
we
wouldn't,
we
do
have
solar
panels
on
the
roof,
six
thousand
500
square
feet.
AA
We
are
committed
to
moving
very
aggressively
towards
the
zero
carbon.
You
know
footprint
that's
going
to
be
required
in
boston
2050..
AA
We
are
well
aware
of
what's
going
on
with
berms
and
floodgates
and
we
are
supporting
that
with
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
donation.
49
000
for
fights,
we've
got
charging
stations,
honda
and
sony
have
just
come
made
a
joint,
a
joint
venture
to
develop
state-of-the-art
electric
cars
further
than
the
ones
they
already
have.
AA
So
we
are,
we
know
we
know
where
we
are
geographically
and
we
know
what
we
have
to
deal
with
and
we
plan
on
doing
our
part.
We've
been,
we've
been
working
very
hard.
I
won't
say
grilled.
We've
been
working
very
hard
with
the
both
katy
peterson
and
the
green
building
people.
We've
engaged
two
different
firms
on
on
green
buildings
and
on
zero
carbon
building
models.
AA
You
name
it
we've
got
it.
We
we
we're
doing
more
in
this
building
than
we
we've
ever
done,
and
we
and
the
they
continue
to
maintain
jurisdiction
over
us.
Until
that
moment,
we
pull
the
building
permit.
Probably
nine
months
from
now
start
the
landsmark,
and
we
expect
that,
as
the
construction
level
drawings
get
finalized
on
both
flood
resiliency
and
on
green
building
technology,
they
we
will
be
working
with
them
and
they
will
be
holding
our
feet
to
the
fire,
and
so
I
hope
that
answers
questions.
Thank.

BU
BU
As
you
may
remember,
this
project
came
before
this
board
in
2015,
under
the
previous
ownership
of
john
hancock,
through
an
extensive
process
with
the
bpda
and
the
public.
The
design
of
the
project
which
has
been
sold
to
skanska
usa
has
been
reimagined,
while
staying
within
the
previously
approved
building
envelope
to
create
a
building
that
is
built
a
thoroughly
modern
office
building
and
an
exciting
addition
to
the
skyline.
BU
The
project
will
bring
much
needed
foot
traffic
back
to
downtown
boston
with
roughly
6200
sorry
625,
000
square
feet,
building
with
class,
I
office
space,
retail
on
the
ground
floor
and
a
large
number
of
public
realm
improvements.
The
building
will
also
be
a
net
zero
building
on
day.
One
before
the
development
team
presents
ken
and
ryan
will
give
an
overview
of
the
planning
contacts
for
the
project.
BV
Good
evening,
members
of
the
board,
madam
chair,
my
name
is
kevin
ryan,
I'm
the
deputy
director
for
downtown
and
neighborhood
planning,
and
I'm
filling
in
for
ted
schwartzberger
who's
the
back
day
planner.
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
little
bit
of
context
about
the
stuart
street
planning
study.
The
study
was
completed
in
2011
and
the
board
adopted
urban
design
guidelines
2015
coming
out
of
that
in
march,
2016
updated
zoning
amendments
were
made
to
article
48
within
the
the
architectural
district.
Within
this
bill,
which
this
building
sits,
it
called
for
greater
heights
along
south
boylston.
BV
BV
I
also
want
to
note
that
this
is
consistent
with
the
stewart
street
planning
studies,
goals
of
active
ground
floor
use,
creating
three
block
connections.
Service
entrance
is
located
on
the
secondary
street
and
contributions
to
the
public
realm
improvements.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
nick
for
the
proponents.
For
the
next
slides.
BW
Thanks,
thank
you
chair.
Thank
you
board
for
for
being
here
tonight.
I
know
it's
late,
so
hopefully
this
this
won't
be
too
too
much
longer.
I'm
carolyn
desmond
with
skanska
commercial
development.
I'm
joined
tonight
by
rusty
martino
and
mike
kaliva
on
my
skanska
team,
who
are
available
to
assist
in
answering
any
questions
that
might
come
up
as
well
as
phil
casey
from
cbt.
BW
Architects
will
be
joining
as
well
tonight
so
quickly
to
orient
everyone
where
this
project
is.
This
is
obviously
in
a
dense
urban
area,
but
I
think
we
have
the
fortunate
opportunity
with
this
site
being
that
the
setbacks
from
some
of
the
adjacent
properties
is
more
robust
than
what
you
see
in
a
typical
urban
urban
environment.
BW
The
project
is
located
between
berkeley
street
and
clarendon
street,
as
you
see
here,
380
stewart
next
slide
nick.
BW
While
we
could
have
have
taken
this
design
and
run
with
it
and
finished
the
design
and
started
construction,
it
took
a
pause.
We
said:
how
can
we
make
this
building
better
for
for
the
neighborhood,
the
community,
for
the
tenants
that
are
going
to
be
occupying
here
and
so
really
wanted
to
figure
out
how
to
improve
this
before
we
finish
the
design?
So
what
you'll
see
today
tonight
is
what
those
improvements
are
through.
BW
This
notice
of
project
change
next
slide,
and,
in
short,
I
think
this
is
a
a
great
summary
of
what
what
we're
asking
for
tonight.
This
is
essentially
the
the
same
building,
for
all
intents
and
purposes
as
far
as
height
density
uses
parking
far.
What
we're
not
seeking
is
to
change
those
things.
BW
What
we're
seeking
is
to
improve
the
building
and
we'll
we'll
talk
about
what
the
what
those
items
are,
the
materiality
of
the
the
the
facade,
the
the
the
facade
terraces
enhancing
the
public
realm
and
really
taking
the
next
step
with
sustainability
for
this
project,
I
think
we
like,
we
like
to
say
we're
not
making
a
bigger
building
we're
making
a
better
building.
So
that's
kind
of
the
motto
that
we've
been
using
throughout
this
project
next
slide
a
quick
snapshot.
BW
BW
We
spent
the
the
next
year
really
working
with
the
bpda
staff,
the
btd
and
the
neighbors,
and
trying
to
get
feedback
about
how
we
could
improve
this
project,
and
I
think
we've
done
that.
I
think
we
have
a
project
here
tonight.
That
is
is
better
than
what
was
previously
approved
and
what
will
really
enhance
the
neighborhood
next
slide.
BW
So
what
what
did
we
hear
and
how
have
we
made?
What
changes
have
we
made?
So
this
is
a
quick
overview
and
then
I'll
get
into
some
more
details,
but
the
feedback
was
okay.
We
want
a
design,
that's
high
quality
architecture,
fitting
for
the
neighborhood
done.
You
will
see
tonight
that
that
is
exactly
what
this
new
new
building
does
for
the
neighborhood
and
for
the
boston
skyline.
BW
Two.
This
building
needs
to
outperform
the
existing
sustainability
measures
that
were
in
place
for
the
hancock
design.
We
we
push
the
limits
we
are,
as,
as
nick
said,
we
are
going
to
be
an
all-electric
building
carbon
net
neutral,
and
this
is
really
important
to
stand
into
this
project,
and
that
is
something
that
we
have
endeavored
to
do
for
this
project
and
we
will
accomplish
wind.
We
we
all
know
that
this
this
part
of
boston,
the
back
bay,
is
very
windy.
BW
So
we
were
asked
to
make
sure
that
we
do
not
make
worse
conditions
than
what
was
what
was
approved
with
john
hancock
stein.
We.
BX
BW
We
studied
the
pedestrian
level
we
studied.
In
fact,
we
even
kind
of
went
a
little
farther
and
studied
the
wind
impacts
on
the
adjacent
properties
on
their
terraces,
and
it
is
you
know
very
clear
that
the
new
building
not
only
is
the
same
in
many
conditions,
but
is
better
in
some
conditions
for
the
wind.
So
we're
very,
very
happy
with
that
and
glad
to
respond
to
the
community
shadows
of
the
asked
to
create
no
new
impacts.
This
building
does
not
create
any
new
impacts
to
shadow
transportation.
BW
We
worked
really
hard
with
the
btd
and
and
the
neighbors
to
make
a
transportation
plan
that
changes
the
shifts,
the
entrance
and
egress
sequence
for
the
building
to
really
minimize
pedestrian
and
vehicular
complex,
and
so
we'll
show
you
what
that
is
tonight.
BW
Greenery
the
importance
for
incorporating
trees,
plantings
and
enhancing
the
public
realm
we've
done
that
by
adding
enhancing
a
public
plaza
and
adding
street
trees
on
stuart
street.
So
we'll
show
you
that
as
well
and
then
public
safety.
This
is
very
important
to
us.
There
was
a
through
block
connection
always
contemplated
on
the
site,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
it
was
designed
and
built
in
a
safe
way,
as
well
as
the
public
plaza.
So
I'll
show
you
how
we've
accomplished
that
tonight
as
well.
Next
slide.
BW
This
is
a
quick
snapshot
of
the
stuart
street
view
of
380
stuart
street,
so
where
what
used
to
be
designed
from
john
hancock
was
a
face,
a
lobby
that
was
facing
straight
to
their
building
on
the
other
side
of
stewart
street.
What
our
new
design
does
is
open
up
the
ground
floor,
create
a
visibility
to
clarendon
and
berkeley
street
activate
this
street,
allow
for
more
light,
more
activity,
retail
to
spill
out
and
a
public
plaza,
and
we
really
are
excited
about
kind
of
this
change
to
the
ground
floor.
BW
Experience
next
slide
two
big
components
of
the
first
floor
that
or
the
the
public
experience
that
we
enhanced
and
we
improved
from
the
previous
design,
was
the
east
passage
and
the
west
plaza.
These
are
two
things
that
we
really
do
think
are:
are
public
benefits
to
the
neighborhood?
The
east
passage
allows
for
the
porosity
through
the
site
to
access
points
on
stanhope
street,
where
there's
active,
retail
and
the
back
bay
station.
BW
This
little
passageway
also
is
designed
in
a
way
that
can
be
safe,
is
activated,
is
lit,
is
accessible
to
a
bike
storage
area
as
well
as
a
cafe
or
some
sort
of
retail.
That
can
make
sure
that
it's
enlivened
at
all
times,
and
we
really
think
this
is
a
great
improvement
to
the
goals
of
the
city,
the
btd
and
the
urban
planning
staff,
as
well
as
the
neighborhood
on
the
west
plaza
excuse
me.
We
made
this
area
bigger
and
more
inviting.
BW
We
wanted
this
to
be
a
place
that
can
spill
out
from
the
lobby
in
a
place
that
people
can
sit
under
a
tree
on
a
nice
day
in
boston,
and
we
even
added
a
water
feature
at
the
end
of
the
of
the
plaza.
So
we
really
feel
like
this
is
a
good
place
for
the
neighborhoods.
You
don't
have
to
go
far
to
get
a
little
green
park
pocket
park
in
the
neighborhood.
You
can
come
right
down
here
and
sit
outside,
so
we're
really
excited
about
this
feature
as
well.
BW
Next
slide
a
quick
overview
of
the
ground
floor
plan.
So
a
couple
of
things
I
want
to
point
out
in
this.
This
is
the
new
design,
so
the
you
can
see
the
west
plaza
again.
I
I
really
want
to
emphasize
that
this
is
a
a
great
public
amenity.
I
think
that
we've
really
tried
to
embrace
and
and
make
as
good
as
possible.
BW
So
this
is
a
a
big
area
that
kind
of
is
activated
by
the
retail
and
people
can
come
and
enjoy,
and
you
can
see
the
little
water
feature
at
the
south
side
of
that
south
side
of
that
plaza
and
then
on
the
east
side,
you
have
the
exit
of
the
garage,
so
the
change
that
we
have
made
is
exiting
the
garage
onto
onto
the
alley
559
to
directly
access
berkeley
street.
BW
The
original
design
from
john
hancock
had
the
garage
exit
going
right
into
the
middle
of
the
clarendon's
drive
aisle
on
the
left
side
of
the
page
and
then
exiting
to
stewart
street,
so
that
condition
added
more
curb
cuts
on
steward
street
added,
additional
pedestrian
and
vehicular
conflicts,
and
with
the
help
of
btd
and
the
ask
of
btd,
we
were
encouraged
to
move
this
exit
onto
the
alley
which
we
did,
and
this
is
a
much
better
and
safer
condition
for
the
neighborhood.
So
that's
the
the
ground
floor
plan
next
slide.
BW
I
wanted
to
show
a
quick
cut
through
of
the
of
the
ground
floor
and
the
lobby.
This
is
a
really
neat
image.
This
shows
this
grand
staircase
that
we're
putting
in
the
lobby
and
the
second
floor.
That's
activated
by
a
little
pause
where
people
can
sit
and
have
coffee.
This
is
meant
to
be
a
space
where
the
tenants
of
the
building
can
invite
someone
from
the
outside
to
have
come
in
and
have
a
meeting
or
simply
people
passing
by
can
come
in
and
experience
this
space.
BW
It's
meant
to
be
open
and
visible
and
really
activated
in
a
way
that
wasn't
previously
there
from
the
the
old
design,
and
you
can
see
the
way
that
we
envision
the
retail
kind
of
mixing
in
with
the
lobby
and
really
creating
a
an
exciting
activated
experience,
but
also
places
where
people
can
stop,
have
a
chill,
have
a
coffee
and
and
hang
out
with
with
a
friend
in
the
neighborhood
next
slide,
and
this
is
the
the
last
oh.
This
is
not
the
image,
but
that's.
This
is
not
what
I
thought
it
would
be.
BW
This
is
the
final
image
of
the
the
building.
We
had
some
very
beautiful
renderings
up
here
in
my
version,
but
that's
okay,
so
this
is
kind
of
the
final
form
of
the
building
I
wanted.
BW
I
wanted
to
show,
and
what
what
I
wanted
to
emphasize
here
is
that
you
know,
through
meetings
with
bcdc
bpda
and
the
planning
staff,
we
were
able
to
make
this
building
a
better
building
by
adding
adding
these
terraces
staying
within
the
square
footage
within
the
height
limits
which,
in
within
the
general
envelope
of
what
was
previously
approved,
adding
these
terraces
that
are
an
equitable
access
to
outdoor
space
for
all
of
the
users
of
the
building
in
this
post-covet
world.
This
is
something
that
we
feel
is
very
important.
BW
This
is
something
that
we've
spoken
to
a
lot
of
occupants
in
the
community
about
and
really
that's
what
people
want.
They
want
to
come
back
to
the
office
and
have
access
to
outdoor
space.
So
we've
really
accomplished
that
with
this
design,
it's
not
only
functional,
but
we
really
do
think
it
is
an
elegant
building
for
the
boston
skyline
next
slide
quickly
on
our
sustainability
measures
that
we're
accomplishing
that's
something
we're
very
proud
of.
As
nick
mentioned,
the
the
building
will
be
carbon,
sorry,
zero
net,
carbon
emissions.
BW
We
try
to
push
the
envelope
as
much
as
we
can
at
stanford.
This
is
something
we're
really
proud
of
to
be
able
to
say
it's
an
all-electric
office
building.
In
addition,
we're
prioritizing
the
health
and
wellness
of
the
occupants
making
sure
that
it's
not
just
about
the
mechanical
systems,
but
it's
a
building
that
people
feel
healthy
and
they
want
to
be
in
to
work,
come
back
to
work
next
slide
d
e-
and
I
this
is
something
also
that's
very
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
and
to
to
scanspell.
BW
We
we've
engaged
with
a
partner,
cage
and
thm
to
really
make
sure
that
we're
thinking
about
de
ni
from
every
aspect
of
the
project
through
design,
construction
and
operation
of
this
building
next
slide
and
I'll
end
with
the
public
and
community
benefits.
BW
While
we
have
taken
on
every
everything
that
was
or
maintaining
all
the
commitments
that
john
hancock
made,
you
can
see
on
this
slide.
What
what
those.
BW
Also
point
out
the
additional
things
that
we
are
doing
as
part
of
public
and
community
benefits,
with
the
sustainability
measures
we're
taking
with
the
transportation
improvements
we're
making
with
the
sustainability
and
the
public
realm
changes
we're
making.
We
really
feel
like
we're
going
beyond
what
was
committed
to
from
john
hancock,
it's
design
and
approvals,
and
I
got
the
stop
sign
and
and
making
a
better
building
so
I'll
end
there.
That
was
really
quick,
but
thanks
the
bpda
and
everyone
for
getting
us
to
this
point.
BW
I
know
this
project
has
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussions
on
it
and
we
really
think
it's
it's
better
for
those
discussions.
This
project
is
something
that
once
it
started,
and
it's
it
once
we
can
get
going,
it
will
show
that
boston
office
life
is
real.
We
are
thriving
this.
This
market
is
thriving,
boston
is
coming
back
to
work,
and
this
is
the
right
place
to
do
it
and
we're
excited
to
to
move
this
project
forward.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
E
Thank
you,
okay.
So
this
is
a
public
hearing,
so
we
will
now
take
any
testimony
secretary,
paul
hemis.
Do
we
have
anyone
who
would
like
to
testify.
BY
Thank
you
and
good
evening,
madam

the
board,
I'm

and
I'm
here
to

current
design
for
380
stuart
street.
For
two
reasons.

Our
bostics

we
know
that
the

will
help
to
drive
foot
traffic
to
copley
square
and
to
our
cultural

BT
Yes,
good
evening
again,
everybody
thank
you.
Madame
chief,
madam
secretary
members
of
the
board,
thank
you,
miss
desmond
and
the
skanska
team
for
your
presentation
tonight,
particularly
I'd
like
to
thank
the
staff
of
the
bpda.
You
know
these.
These
meetings
go
along
and
I
know
how
hard
you
guys
work
so
kudos
to
you
guys
for
for
facilitating
these
meetings.
Once
again,
my
name
is
michael
burns.
I'm
a
council
of
representatives
for
the
northeast
regional
council
of
sheet
metal
workers
and,
on
behalf
of
myself,
my
membership.
BT
X
Yes,
madam
chair,
our
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
director
goldman,
once
again,
gary
walker,
electricians
and
technicians,
local
103,
like
to
speak,
it's
foreign
support
and
like
to
thank
the
development
team
for
sticking
with
this
project
and
keeping
it
alive.
Thank
you
very
much.
BZ
Thank
you
very
much.
Well,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
comment,
so
I
I
must
say
that
I
strongly
oppose
both
this
project
as
well
as
the
process
in
which
this
project
is
moving
forward.
BZ
This
project
needs
to
be
taken
back
to
the
initial
planning
stages,
based
on
the
fact
that
there
are
many
problems
with
this
project
that
two
minutes
will
not
be
sufficient
to
fully
explain
and
that,
despite
the
developer
statement
of
the
contrary,
this
project
has
not
in
any
way
been
adequately
discussed
with
the
community
and
therefore
there
needs
to
be
further
opportunity
for
community
engagement.
BZ
BZ
That
pda
was
amended
for
dan
john
hancock,
and
then
they
left
despite
it
and
now
a
new
developer
wants
to
come
in
seven
years
later,
despite
the
stewardship
guidelines
being
in
place
for
six
years
and
pretend
that
nothing
has
happened
in
the
interim
and
that
they
can
move
forward
and
develop
on
this
enormous
building.
You
know
the
developers
believe
this
and
is
an
improvement
on
the
last
design.
I
certainly
disagree
with
that,
but
even
if
that
hypothesis
were
true,
better
doesn't
necessarily
mean
good
enough.
This
project
needs
a
lot
more
revision.
BZ
It
sits
in
an
incredibly
visible
place
in
the
central
boston
skyline
and
will
be
there
and
will
dictate
the
identity
of
this
city
for
many
years
to
come,
and
therefore
we
really
need
to
take
the
time
to
address
it
properly.
The
review
process
needs
to
be
restarted
from
scratch,
not
with
a
pda,
npc
amendment.
We
need
to
start
from
the
beginning,
so
the
community
can
have
input
and
that
the
many
problems
in
terms
of
traffic,
wind,
etc,
are
addressed.
You
know
this
is
a
very,
very
large
building
on
this
very
small
lot.
BZ
BH
First,
I
wanna
thank
you
for
all
the
hard
work
and
as
being
a
long
line
as
board
members,
and
I
also
wanna
commend
the
development
team
for
a
great
presentation-
caroline,
that
was
amazing
and
also
I
simply
want
to
thank
skanska.
They
have
been
partners
of
the
carpenters
union
for
a
very
long
time.
BH
G
E
Think
I
think
anthony
if
you
can
call
in
from
the
from
the
phone
you'll
still
get
your
full
two
minutes.
I
think
I
think
that's
what
I
heard
your
question
was.
G
BP
BP
This
is
the
exact
type
of
project
we
should
be
supporting
in
the
city
of
boston.
Today
it
would
have
been
easy
for
skanska
to
move
ahead
with
the
project
that
was
permitted
when
they
acquired
it,
but
instead
they
made
a
difficult
decision
to
take
a
step
back
and
do
the
right
thing
and
think
long
and
hard
about
what
they
were
going
to
offer
to
the
market.
BP
The
design,
the
design
revisions
that
have
reflected
are
a
thoughtful
approach
that
make
the
project
better
for
the
community.
The
public
realm
with
the
true
commitment
to
sustainability
when
we
think
about
this
project
today,
we
can
overlook
the
impact
of
a
three-quarter
of
a
billion
dollar
project
on
our
city.
BP
There'll
be
new
space
brought
online
that
could
house
up
to
3
000
new
jobs
that
are
going
to
attract
new
companies
to
come
to
our
great
city
and
finally,
they're
going
to
stimulate
the
local
economy
by
bringing
business
to
small
retailers
and
shops
that
have
suffered
through
the
last
two
years.
So,
with
all
due
respect
to
our
previous
speaker,
this
project
isn't
better
he's
right.
This
project
is
great.
I
hope
you
all
support
it.
Thank
you
for
your
time.

So
much
am
I
unmuted
yes,
I'm
meg
mine,
sir
cohen
president
of
the
back
bay
association,
and
it's
my
pleasure
to
provide
these
comments.
In
addition
to
the
written
comments
that
I
wrote
in
in
2005,
the
community
benefit
that
we
requested
was
planning
for
the
steward
street
corridor
and
the
results
of
the
stewart
street
planning
that
we
did
was
presented
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting.
BX
BX
Is
one
that's
going
to
be
a
great
improvement
to
the
neighborhood,
we're
very
excited
with
the
updated
skanska
plans,
and
I
agree
with
the
last
speaker
that
this
mid
block
building
that's
been
vacant
and
somewhat
you
know
almost
derelict
for
for
I'll,
say
at
least
10
years,
we're
very
much
looking
forward
to
your
approval
for
this
building
and
thank
you
so
much
and
by
the
way
kudos
to
the
staff.
This
is
a
very
tough
meeting
to
be
to
be
managing.
Thank
you.
G
BB
AF
I
only
have
two
minutes.
Let
me.
AF
That
I'm
totally
against
this
project,
I'm
on
the
iag
and
I
think
the
iag
has
been
handled
shabbily.
With
one
meeting
the
proponent
told
you
that
they're
only
making
minor
changes,
that's
a
lie.
They're,
making
major
changes
to
the
original
proposal
in
2006
and
much
has
happened
in
the
area
that
has
changed
on
this
site.
AF
A
AF
O
Hi,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
comment.
My
name
is
carol
rando
a
little
different
than
the
business
people
and
developers
and
others
who
have
spoken.
I
am
a
resident
of
the
clarendon,
as
mentioned
by
meg
at
400,
stuart
street
and
actually
live
next
door
to
the
proposed
project
and
my
unit
will
face
it.
I
ask
you
to
reject
this
project
and
its
pda
amendment
for
three
reasons.
O
O
Finally,
this
project
should
be
denied
because
it
doesn't
comply
with
the
stuart
street
planning
guidelines
mentioned
many
times.
This
project
is
inconsistent
with
those
guidelines
it
exceeds
them
in
both
height
and
floor
area
ratio.
As
mayor
wu
has
said,
planning
in
boston
should
direct
development,
not
the
other
way
around.
Thank
you
for
your
consideration.
O
A
AB
Yep,
we
can
hear
you
great,
thank
you
so
like
carol,
my
wife
and
I
live
at
the
clarendon
right
next
to
the
proposed
project
site.
You
you
already
heard
a
number
of
quite,
I
think,
strong
objections
to
the
whole
project.
I'd
like
to
just
focus
on
the
terrorists
issue.
AB
I'm
haven't
liked
the
terraces
on
the
building
from
the
beginning.
I've
asked
a
couple
of
times
why
terraces,
particularly
since
this
is
boston
and
our
weather
is
not
totally
conducive,
but
particularly
in
a
an
office
building
on
a
residential
building
and
considering
our
weather.
I
I
just
don't
know
how
useful
they're
going
to
be
two
things
I
don't
like
about
the
the
terraces
in
general.
AB
They
make
the
building
more
bulky,
which,
frankly,
is
not
great
in
our
part
of
the
city
and
this
building
is
it's
going
to
be
very
close
to
our
building,
so
when
we're
either
in
our
condos
or
on
the
terrace
that
we
have
on
that
side
of
the
building
we're
going
to
have
people
sort
of
right
over
us.
AB
If
you
will
so
as
a
minimum,
I
would
hope
that
that
terraces
on
that
side
wouldn't
be
necessary,
but
the
terrorists
in
general
just
make
the
building
a
lot
a
lot
bulkier
a
lot
bigger
and
the
building
itself.
It's
going
to
be
very
close
to
our
building
the
way
it's
planned,
and
that
just
makes
it
worse,
and
with
that
I
mean
you've
already
heard
much
more
global
objections
with
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
CA
Yes,
hi.
Thank
you.
I
am
also
a
resident
of
the
claridin,
and
I
understand
that
the
presentation
given
by
the
developer
with
the
green
check
marks,
is,
you
know
great
way
to
breeze
through
and
convince
everybody
that,
oh
it's
great,
but
no,
it's
not
the
case
at
all
with
this
project
and
the
view
that
you
were
shown
of
the
project
doesn't
really
show
the
proximity
to
the
clarity
and
it's
a
beautiful
picture,
but
it
doesn't
it's
not
accurately
depicting
how
close
this
building
is
to
ours.
CA
CA
CA
CA
It
doesn't
show
accurately
what
how
close
this
building
is.
It's
a
very
massive
massive
building
on
a
small
space,
and
it's
really
really
upsetting
and
really
will
be
very
devastating
to
I.
I
don't.
I
just
don't
agree
with
that.
I
I
don't
think
it
should
be
approved.
I
think
there's
a
lot
more.
That
needs
to
be
looked
at.
I
don't
agree
with
half
of
those
check
marks.
I
found
them
to
be
offensive
and
I'm
I
hope
that
you
do
not
approve
it
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
speak.
Thank
you.
CA
CB
CB
AJ
Hi,
thank
you.
I
also
am
a
resident
at
the
clarendon
and
I
concur
with
all
the
points
of
the
objectors.
It's
interesting.
The
folks
speaking
on
behalf
of
this
are
union
members
who
are
going
to
get
jobs
and
that
art
the
lady
from
the
arts
council
who
got
a
contribution
of
hefty
contribution
from
skanska.
So
I
don't
know
if
they
bought
her
testimony,
but
it's
interesting
that
she's
all
for
it,
because
scance
is
sending
money
their
way,
but
putting
all
that
aside
before
you
approve
anything
to
do
with
this
project.
AJ
I
would
urge
all
of
you
members
to
go
stand
on
stuart
street
at
rush
hour
in
the
morning
and
rush
hour
in
the
evening.
It's
already
a
very
difficult
ingress
in
egress,
from
our
building
onto
stuart
street
you're,
going
to
be
adding
all
the
employees.
The
many
many
many
employees
that
are
going
to
be
going
into
this
new
building
you've
also
got
coming
online
in
the
near
future.
AJ
The
raffles
building
the
street
can't
handle
the
volume
of
traffic
that
it's
going
to
have
to
absorb
the
the
developer
kind
of
skimmed
right
over
all
of
the
traffic
patterns
that
are
going
to
have
to
change
you're,
going
to
be
dumping
vehicles
out
onto
the
alleyway
behind
the
clarendon
building
you're
going
to
be
over
taxing
stuart
street.
It's
going
to
be
very
difficult
for
folks
in
our
building
and
in
this
proposed
380
building.
AJ
If
you
were
so
unwise
as
to
approve
it,
it's
going
to
be
gridlock,
you
should
be
considering
the
public
health
and
safety
and
allowing
this
building
and
all
the
traffic
and
all
the
vehicles
that
are
going
to
be
added
to
stuart
street.
This
is
absolutely
against
public
health
and
safety
you're
going
to
be
creating
a
gridlock
pattern.
I
think
before
you
do
anything
to
consider
this
go
stand
there
at
rush
hour,
see
what
kind
of
traffic's
there
now
and
how
much
of
this
building,
plus
the
raffles
building
are
going
to
add
to
the
situation.
AJ
V
I'm
actually
looking
out
right
now
at
this
alley
that
we're
talking
about
where
all
the
cars
are
going
to
leave
the
building
and
egress
onto
berkeley
street,
and
I
don't
know
if
anybody's
ever
walked
in
this
alley
and
how
narrow
it
is.
I
don't
know
how
they
think
that
this
is
all
going
to
be
a
good
thing
for
all
these
employees,
for
this
building
to
back
in
traffic
to
get
out
to
the
build
to
get
out
to
berkeley
street.
V
I
also
really
under
don't
understand
why
the
building
can't
be
pushed
a
little
bit
further
east,
which
is
what
we
at
the
clarendon
have
been
asking
for
in
many
of
these
meetings
with
skanska
they
claim
they've
reached
out
to
us.
We
haven't
had
that
many
meetings
with
them.
Let
me
tell
you:
I've
been
living
here
for
nine
years,
so
I
just
think
that
this
is
not
the
right
time
to
push
this
through.
I
hope
that
you
would
reconsider
this,
and
I
appreciate
your
time.
E
Thank
you,
mr
carter,
do
we
have
any
email
testimony
that
needs
to
be
written
right
into
the
record.
BU
Our
first
letter
is
from
council
president
ed
flynn
cure
members
of
the
bpda
board.
I
am
writing
in
support
of
the
proposed
first
amendment
to
the
amended
and
restated
development
plan
for
planned
development
area
number
one
at
380,
stuart
street,
in
back
bay
as
the
city
of
boston
continues
its
economic
recovery
from
the
code
19
pandemic.
BU
The
380
stuart
street
project
will
provide
many
benefits
locally,
including
over
1500
construction
jobs
and
over
3
000,
full
and
part-time
jobs.
It
is
critical
for
our
city
to
take
steps
in
both
the
term
and
long
term
meant
to
revitalize
bring
foot
traffic
and
vibrancy
back
to
the
heart
of
our
city.
BU
Moreover,
the
project
takes
active
steps
toward
achieving
sustainability
with
the
building,
targeting
leed
platinum
and
pursuing
lead
gold
certifications
at
a
minimum.
The
project
design
will
also
be
in
compliance
with
birdo
2.0,
with
an
all-electric
building
a
high
performance,
hvac
system
and
envelope.
BU
Our
next
letter
is
from
ted
pietros,
dear
bpda
board,
as
a
member
of
the
iag
and
a
resident
of
the
south
end,
I
fully
support
the
updated
380
stuart
street
design.
Skanska's
proposed
changes
greatly
improved
the
project
from
what
was
approved
in
2015..
BU
BU
BU
BU
BU
BU
BU
498-9,
a
proposed
project
shall
be
designed
such
that
the
exterior
proportions
scale,
massing
window
treatments,
materials,
colors
and
architectural
detailing
are
compatible
with
the
observable
historical
and
architectural
character
of
other
buildings
in
the
area
within
which
the
proposed
project
is
located
and
with
streets
and
open
spaces
to
which
is
visually
related.
As
identified
in
the
stuart
street
district
plan.
BU
BU
BU
BU
John
hancock
subsequently
decided
that
they
would
not
need
the
additional
space
and
sold
the
site.
With
its
approvals
to
skanska
skanska
skanska
plans
to
build
a
speculative
office
building
on
the
site,
they
have
made
their
changes
to
the
plan
for
the
building
that
fit
their
the
fit
use
and
their
understanding
of
what
will
improve
the
project.
BU
They
want
to
retain
the
existing
approvals
for
exceptions
on
height
and
floor
area
ratio
from
the
stuart
street
zoning
that
was
adopted
around
the
same
time.
The
original
project
was
being
planned
because
of
the
specific
nature
of
the
basis
for
approval
of
the
pda
as
john
as
a
john
hancock
headquarter
building,
as
well
as
the
relatively
recent
adoption
of
zoning
allowing
large,
but
not
as
large
as
planned
buildings
on
site.
BU
BU
The
building
includes,
among
its
tenants,
the
fenway
community
health
center,
a
youth
social
services
program
of
the
justice
resource
institute
and
numerous
small,
independent
businesses
and
social
service
agencies.
All
these
tenants
are
serviced
off
the
back
of
the
building
on
stanhope
street
sc.
Berkeley

is
an
affiliate
of
sawyer
enterprises,
which
is
a
boston-based
family-owned
company
that
has
owned,
developed
and
managed
real

in
the
city
for
decades,
including
the
nike

building
on
newbury
street
and
the
w
boston,
hotel
and
residences
in
the
city's
theatre
district.
BU
We
support
the
project,
even
as
we
continue
to
have
reservations
about
the
potential
impact
of
the
cities,
allowing
the
shift
of
the
project's
garage
engine
garage
exit
to
the
private
alley
behind
and
I'm
getting
the
stop
sign
again.
Thank
you
very
much.
That
is
all
the
written
testimony
that
we
have
to
read
to
the
record.
E
Okay,
thank
you.
So
we
will
now
move
to
the
questioning
by
the
board.
So
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
BW
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
dr
antoine,
for
the
question
we
for,
for
this
being
an
office
building
in
this
location
and
the
fact
that
we're
between
90
and
100
feet
away
from
the
clarendon
building.
BW
We
we
did
not
consider
having
an
opaque
surface
on
the
that
side
of
the
facade.
I
think
it's
important
for
the
tendency
of
the
building
and
for
an
office
building
in
general
to
to
have
that
that
window
line
and,
as
you
said,
whether
it's
terraces
or
windows,
it
would
be
the
same
visibility
to
the
adjacent
building.
So
it's
not
something
we
considered
in
order
to
do
a
kind
of
market
and
desirable
building
for
everyone.
L
E
Okay,
additional
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
L
AQ
BP
E
And
the
car,
but
I
motion,
passes.
Thank
you.
BW
I
Okay,
so
that
concludes
our
public
hearings.
We're
now
going
to
move
back
to
agenda
item.

review
application
from
the
proponent

Georgantes,
design
and
development
proposes
to
demolish
the
existing
one-story
commercial
space
and
construct
an
approximately
six-story
mixed-use.
AW
Building,
if
approved,
the
new
infield
development
will
contain
33
condominium
condominium
units,
4
000
square
feet
of
commercial
space
that
can
be
subdivided
into
three
tenant
spaces.
The
project
contains
zero
parking
spaces
and
34
bicycle
parking
spaces.
The
project
will
include
four

This
project
also
falls
within

is
being
designed
to
meet
the

Thank
you
caitlin

good
evening
chairwoman,
rojas
secretary
polimes
director
golden
members
of
the
board
mark
lucas
llc
at
75
arlington
street
in
boston.
I'm
pleased
to
appear
before
you
tonight,
representing
peter
giorgiantis,
who
is
the
principal
of
georgiante's
design
and
development
for
this
exciting
infield
project
on
washington
street
in
the
south
end
next
slide,
tartania
oops,
sorry,
titanium
brown
is
the
architect,
and
that
was
it.
AU
Caitlin
has
already
covered
the
project
overview,
we're
located
in
the
south
end
district
under
article
64
of
the
zoning
code,
gross
floor
area
of
the
building
is
44
000
square
feet
and
the
building
height
is
69
feet.
11
inches,
which
is
consistent
with
the
70
foot
height
limit
in
the
south
end
next
slide.
AU
Some
of
the
items
of
zoning
relief
that
we
we
require
are
dimensional
in
nature,
given
the
fact
that
it's
an
infill
building
between
two
existing
buildings,
where
clearly
you'll
see
in
the
photographs
a
larger
building
used
to
exist
but
came
down
many
years
ago,
probably
with
the
orange
line,
elevated
train
being
right
right
there
and
has
been
a
one
story-
street
level
retail
storefront
for
for
decades
and
is
crying
out
to
be
an
infill
building
between
two
other
buildings.
So
a
couple
of
items
of
dimensional
relief
are
necessary
on
that
score.
Next
slide.
AU
Here's
an
aerial
view
of
the
site,
which
is
right
in
the
middle,
with
the
blue
arrow,
pointing
to
it
between
1387
washington,
street,
a
six-story
building
and
1411
washington
street.
Also,
a
six-story
building
across
the
street,
of
course,
is
the
very
important
iconic
feature
of
this
part
of
the
neighborhood,
which
is
the
holy
cross
cathedral
and
also
on
this
stretch
of
washington
street
are
a
number
of
other
examples
of
street
level.
AU
When
then,
mayor,
menino
commissioned
a
planning
study
for
the
washington
street
corridor
from
downtown
crossing
all
the
way
out
to
then
dudley
square,
and
the
planning
study
was
entitled
a
new
washington
street
boston's
main
street
for
the
next
century.
So
the
planning
study
certainly
was
ambitious
in
its
goals
of
predicting
the
future.
AU
Since
the
planning
study
was
adopted
in
the
late
1990s,
there
has
been
gateway.
Terrace,
laconia,
lofts
shown
right
here
to
the
right
of
the
building
is
the
wilkes
passage.
Building
across
the
street
is
the
rawlins
square
mixed
income
development,
which
is
hugely
successful
cathedral
high
school
built
a
new
gymnasium
and,
of
course
the
holy
cross
cathedral
has
undergone
a
major
restoration
recently
and
is
again
a
shining
architectural
gem
of
that
stretch
of
washington
street.
AU
Is
this
magnificent
curve
of
washington
street,
as
you
arrive
at
this
this
moment,
this
stretch
of
washington
street,
so
the
architect
is
very
sensitive
to
incorporating
the
curve
of
the
street
into
the
design.
Next
slide,
it's
a
very
wide
stretch
of
washington
street.
So
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
with
boston
transportation
department,
taking
a
look
at
what
changes
might
be
made
to
this
part
of
washington
street
there's
by
all
accounts
an
extra
lane.
AU
So
what
the
design
represents
here
you'll
see
a
zigzag
pattern
of
the
street
level
retail,
which
is
designed
to
make
the
sidewalk
wider
from
the
left-hand
side
of
the
building
to
the
residential
lobby
entrance
and
then
to
deal
with
this
pinch
point
btd
has
asked
that
we
do
one
of
these
little
bump
out
islands
that
will
make
the
sidewalk
experience
more
pedestrian
friendly
here,
as
you
get
to
the
much
wider
sidewalk
experience
here
as
you
head
in
this
direction
down
washington
street.
So
we're
happy
to
incorporate
that
into
the
plan
next
slide.
AU
Here's
the
zigzag
pattern
that
picks
up
from
the
zigzag
of
the
street
level
retail
front,
to
enliven
and
enlarge
the
sidewalk
experience
for
the
pedestrians,
and
I
would
say
that
during
our
three
advisory
hearings
with
the
southland
landmarks
commission,
probably
the
one
item
that
was
addressed
most
extensively
was
getting
the
color
pallet
right
in
light
of
the
holy
cross
cathedral
across
the
street.
So
the
building
initially
started
out
with
a
more
contemporary
expression
with
different
building
materials
and
then
of
course,
gravitated
to
the
typical
south
end
fall
back.
AU
So
a
darker
brick
pattern
is
where
we
ultimately
landed,
and
this
represents
the
sensitivity
of
the
colors
of
the
cathedral,
the
the
putting
stone,
colors
and
also
the
surrounding
older
brick
building,
and
then
the
newer
brick
building
and
lining
up
the
roof
line
so
that
it
really
truly
is
filling
in
what
is
just
a
a
huge
missing
tooth
in
the
street
front
of
washington
street
right
there
next
slide.
AU
I
think
that's
it.
So
I
think
caitlyn
covered
the
specifics.
Oh
no,
there
we
go
another
item
that
southern
landmarks
asked
us
to
wrestle
with
was
the
expression
of
the
street
level
retail
to
the
right
hand,
side
here
under
the
1395
is
the
residential
lobby
entrance
and
then
there
are
three
distinct
separate
retail
spaces,
some
of
which
are
being
envisioned
as
restaurant
spaces,
as
that
is
a
very
desirable
and
common
feature
of
that
stretch
of
washington
street
and
also
consistent
with
the
original
planning
study
of
1997.
AU
AU
The
street
level
experience
for
pedestrians
and
residents
of
this
part
of
the
south
end
there's
no
parking
provided
in
this
building,
but
with
the
silver
line
right
outside
the
front
door
and
the
orange
line
about
half
a
mile
away
and
the
broadway
red
line
just
under
the
expressway,
which
is
now
a
very
pleasant
experience
to
get
over
in
that
direction.
If
you've
walked
under
there.

Okay,

you,

Good
evening
again,
madam

thank
you
again
for
your
continued
time
tonight.
The
project
that
I

now
is
90
breakthrough
street
in
allston,
alp,
90,
braintree,
owner
and
affiliate
of
anchor

proposes
to
demolish
the
existing
one-story
industrial
building
to
construct
a
new
six-story
residential
building
containing
approximately
eighty-five
thousand
square
feet
of
gross
floor
area.
AW
This
project
will
include
111
rental
units,
58
parking
spaces,
a
hundred

111
bicycle
parking
spaces
and
then
approximately
9
500

mix
is
expected
to
include
47
studio
units

one
bedrooms,
10
one-bedroom
walls,
approximately
24
two-bedroom
units
and
three
three-bedroom
units
of
the
111
rental
units.
The
proponent
has
committed
to
20
percent
of
those
units
to
be
on-site.
Inclusionary

units
at
ranges
of

Throughout
the
review
process,
a
public
meeting
was
held
in
july
of
2021
and
three
impact
advisory
group
meetings
were
held
in
august
september
and
january.
We've
received
a
number
of
comment.
Letters
from
this
project
encouraged
the
development
team
to
continue
to
work
with
the
budding
neighbors
throughout
the
entirety
of
the
review
process.
AW
Lastly,
I
would
like
to
note
that
the
proponent
has
worked
closely
with
council
freedom's
office
and
she
has
submitted
a
letter
of
support
that
has
been
sent
to
you
on
the
record
before
I
turn
it
over
to
dave
wamster
from
anchor
line
partners
and
ruthie
coleman
from
roadie
architects.
I'd
like
to
head
this
presentation
over
to
jared
staley
from
the
planning
department
to
highlight
how
this
project
is
in
line
with
the
guest
street
planning
study.
AP
Thanks,
as
I
was
mentioned,
my
name
is
jared
steeley
and
I'm
the
neighborhood
planner
for
the
austin
brighton
neighborhood,
the
site
located
at
1990
branch
braintree
street,
is
located
within
the
brighton
guest
streets
planning
study.
This
planning
study
was
conducted
by
the
vra
planning
team
adopted
by
the
bri
board
in
2012..
AP
AP
AC
Thanks
jared
good
evening,
madam
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
gelemas,
director
golden
I'm
dave
wamster
with
anchor
line
partners,
we're
the
owners
of
90
braintree,
and
the
project
before
you
tonight
with
me.
Today
is
ruthie
coleman
from
roadie
architects.
She
is
the
project
architect
and
before
I
turn
it
over
to
ruthie,
who
will
walk
you
through
the
design
and
the
architecture
of
the
project.
AC
AC
I
think
one
one
important
note
to
make
is
that
this
opportunity
does
not
displace
any
current
housing
or
businesses
in
austin
or
the
neighborhood
the
site's
been
vacant
now
for
a
couple
of
years.
So
I
wanted
to
stress
that
to
the
board,
the
development
team
has
worked
hard
to
provide
the
neighborhood
and
the
city
with
an
extensive
list
of
public
benefits,
as
you
can
see
from
this
slide
and
I'd
like
to
just
touch,
I
know
time
is
short
and
it's
been
a
long
night
for
everybody.
BR
AC
AC
AC
The
project
will
also
make
a
contribution
to
the
braintree
street
bike,
lane
improvement
fund
and
work
with
btd
for
the
design
of
a
bike
lane
in
this
growing
neighborhood
along
braintree
street
and
then.
Finally,
the
project
includes
the
installation
of
a
new
blue
bike
station
on
pennamon
road
directly
in
front
of
the
project.
So
with.
C
AC
CC
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board,
I'm
ruthie
coleman
with
freddie
architects,
I'm
joined
by
my
colleagues,
lucas
and
kevin
as
well.
If
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
will
go
through
this
quickly,
so
our
site
location
is
shown
in
red
there
at
90,
braintree
street
right
near
everett
street,
just
south
of
the
mass
pike.
The
site
is
very
close
to
the
boston,
landing
key
stop
and
it's
also
north
of
pennamon
park,
which
is
highlighted
in
green,
which
is
the
only
open
space
in
this
general
area.
CC
So
the
design
concept
for
the
site
came
out
of
discussions
with
the
bpda
design
staff
in
the
parks
department,
the
diagram
on
the
left.
You
can
see.
We
see
this
site
as
a
convergence
of
three
different
neighborhood
scales,
the
park
to
the
south,
a
smaller
residential
scale
of
canon
homes
to
the
west
and
the
larger
residential
mixed-use
scale.
To
the
east
and
north,
we
see
this
site
being
able
to
be
a
transition
between
these
three
different
scales
while
providing
housing
density.
CC
So
this
shows
our
level
one
plan
and
this
site
has
a
public
presence
on
three
sides.
So
when
we
look
to
design
the
program
here,
we
tried
to
activate
all
three
edges
on
the
right
side.
You
have
braintree
street,
which
has
a
larger
scale
urban
edge
with
the
main
entry.
We
have
the
lobby,
the
artist
workspace
that
dave
mentioned
and
amenity
space.
CC
All
the
loading
and
parking
for
this
project
are
fully
concealed
within
the
building,
with
a
single
curb
cut
that
you
can
see
located
on
pennamon
road
away
from
the
corner.
At
braintree
and
we
use
that
area
as
a
transition
from
the
larger
urban
scale
to
a
more
residential
scale
as
we
move
down
pediment
road
to
the
park
where
we're
incorporating
loft
units
with
direct
entries
off
the
street
with
more
of
kind
of
an
urban
garden
landscape
language,
we're
excited
about
the
activation
that
these
loft
units
will
bring
to
both
pennamon
road
and
the
park.
E
Okay,
I
do
like
the
the
design
and
the
steps
and
and
how
it's
all
kind
of
you
know,
meeting
the
park
and
meeting
the
the
neighboring
heights,
so
just
wanna
say
kudos
on
that.
E
There
are
no
questions
or
comments.
Emotion
is
wrong,
I'll
moved!
Thank
you.

Request
authorization
to
issue
a
determination
waiting
for
the
review
pursuant
to
section
88-6
of
the
code
in
connection
with
the
notice
of
project
for
the
new
sweeney
field
project
and
went
at
what
wentworth
institute
of
technology
to
include
a
7
500
square
foot,
increase
in
below
grade
locker
rooms
and
athletic
support
areas
and
exterior
rehabilitation
to
the
brewery

The
approved
project
did
not
proceed
into
construction
and
is
back
before
us
due
to
a
lapse
of
time
of
more
than
three
years.
The
proposed
project
is
a
relocation
of
the
field
at
500,
huntington
avenue,
and
it
consists
of
an
athletic
playing
field.
Atop,
a
single-story,
partially
below-grade
parking
structure.
The
field
will
be
used
by
wentworth
sports
teams
for
practices
and
events.
The
project
site
is
an
existing
surface
parking
lot
at
600
parker
street
on
the
wentworth
campus,
and
this
project
will
result
in
a
net
decrease
of
parking
spaces
on
the
site.
BK
Wentworth
remains
committed
to
the
many
community
partnerships
and
benefits
that
came
out
of
the
original
approval,
as
outlined
in
this
board
vote
and
has
also
agreed
to
additional
public
realm
benefits
to
improve
pedestrian
safety
along
the
perimeter
of
the
site.
The
notice
of
project
change
was
filed
on
january
18th
and
a
task
force
meeting
was
held
on
february
9,
at
which
the
community
expressed
full
support
for
this
project
moving
forward.
I
will
now
now
turn
it
over
to
jennifer
schultz
to
go
through
the
brief
presentation
on
behalf
of
wentworth.
Thank
you.
CD
Great,
thank
you
eddie.
I
appreciate
it
good
evening,
madam
chair
director,
golden
and
members
of
the
board.
Eddie
said
it
all
pretty
much,
so
I
will
move
as
quickly
as
I
can,
especially
given
the
time
the
length
of
the
meeting
this
evening.
So
if
you
can,
please
move
to
the
next
slide,
so
this
is
just
to
orient
everyone
in
yellow.
CD
What
you
see
on
the
screen
here
is
the
site
of
the
new
sweeney
field
at
600
parker
street,
and
if
you
look
closer
to
the
top
of
the
screen
along
huntington
avenue,
where
it
says
existing
sweeney
field
is
the
existing
sweden
field
at
500
huntington
street,
and
so
this
is
a
relocation
from
one
side
of
the
wentworth
campus
to
the
other
side
from
the
existing
field,
to
as
eddie
noted,
a
current
surface
parking
lot
next
to
other
surface
parking
lots
owned
by
wentworth.
If
you
can,
please
go
to
the
next
slide.
CD
CD
CD
Looking
on
the
screen
here,
sort
of
to
the
top
of
the
screen,
just
on
the
other
side
of
the
parking
lot,
you
see,
the
alice
taylor,
residential
community
and
then
off
to
screen
left
across
parker

is
mission
main
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
please.
CD
CD
The
garage
structure
will
have
330
parking
spaces,
which
is
a
net
reduction
of
just
over
70
spaces
from
what
exists
there
right
now.
The
original
approval
included
a
3
900
square
foot
teams,
building,
essentially
locker
rooms
and
team
meeting
areas,
and
the
only
change
in
the
project
now
is
the
addition
of
a
basement
area
entirely
below
grade
beneath
that
team's
building
for
gender,
neutral
locker
rooms
and
other
athletic
support
facilities.
CD
The
vienna
brewery
buildings
and
courtyard
areas
previously
noted
will
have
an
exterior
restoration
that,
as
I
noted
previously,
has
previously
been
approved,
and
we
hope
will
be
approved
again
due
to
no
changes
to
the
project.
If
you
can,
please
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
don't
think
we
need
to
really
dwell
on
this
one
since
eddie
covered
it
next
slide,
please.
CD
So
this
just
shows
you,
as
I
just
noted,
that
the
really
the
only
changes
to
the
project
from
2015
when
it
was
last
approved
to
now
is
the
addition
of
that
basement
area
below
the
team's
building
entirely
below
grade,
and
then
some
sustainability
improvements,
adding
electrical
vehicle
chargers
for
up
to
20,
or
at
least
25
of
the
parking
spaces,
which
was
not
our
requirement
back
in
2015,
and
then
some
additional
improvements,
three
painted
sidewalks
and
two
raised
intersections
along
parker
street.
CD
For
better
pedestrian
vehicular
safety
next
slide,
please
also,
as
eddie
noted,
all
of
the
community
benefits
that
were
promised
and
agreed
to
in
2015
are
still
being
committed
to
by
wentworth.
In
fact,
some
of
those
community
benefits
have
already
been
completed
despite
the
project
not
going
forward
in
2015,
including
especially
an
entire
upgrade
to
the
mission
main
community
center
computer
equipment
and
room
and
provision
of
new
laptops,
in
addition
to
ongoing
financial
contributions
to
the
jimmy
beverly
scholarship,
which
to
date
has
over
3
million
dollars,
contributed
to
neighborhood
use.
CD
In
addition,
wentworth,
as
noted
has
pledged
to
make
the
roadway
improvements
along
parker
street
for
pedestrian
safeway
safety
and
has
also
recommitted
to
provide
new
laptops
to
the
residents
of
mission,
maine
and
alice
taylor
and
provide
student
assistance
for
technical
support.
Next
slide,
please.
So
this
just
very
quickly
the
next
couple
slides
and
then
we'll
pray.
Then
we're
done.
I
just
shows
you
what
has
changed
and
what
hasn't
changed.
CD
As
noted,
really,
the
only
places
there
are
physical
changes
are
below
grade,
and
so
the
yellow
markers
on
these
parking
spaces
surrounding
the
perimeter
are
the
electrical
vehicle
charging
station
spaces
and
then
off
to
screen
left.
Is
that
below
grade
space
beneath
the
team's
room
for
the
gender,
neutral
locker
rooms
and
other
storage
areas?
Next
slide?
Please
now,
I'm
just
going
to
quickly
walk
you
around
the
new
field.
Location.
All
of
this
design
is
precisely
as
it
was
in
2015.
CD
The
focus
is
on.
You
know
not
only
creating
a
great
field
experience
when
you're
within
it,
but
also
greatly
improving
streetscape,
certainly
from
what
it
is
today,
as
a
surface
parking
lot
to
go
to
the
next
slide.
Now
you
can
see
we're
along
parker
street.
Looking
back
at
the
field,
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
and
this
is
rounding
from
parker
street
to
station
street,
where
you
start
to
see
those
brewery
buildings
off
on
page
right.
CD
You
go
to
the
next
slide
and
then
this
is
at
the
corner
of
hallek
street
and
prentice
street
coming
back
around
and
if
you
look
sort
of
to
the
center
of
the
screen,
that
is
the
parking
garage
vehicular
entrance
next
slide.
CD
Also,
as
previously
noted,
these
are
the
remaining
vienna
brewery
buildings
and
the
exterior
restoration
that
was
approved
in
2015
is
precisely
what
is
still
planned
today.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
you'll
see
just
a
few
renderings
of
what
was
approved
and
what
is
still
planned
next
slide,
and
then
this
is
the
other
building.
What
was
approved?
CD
What
is
still
planned
next
slide,
and
this
is
from
a
bird's
eye
view
showing
some
of
the
courtyard
improvements
in
between
the
brewery
buildings
and
homage
to
the
past
reuse
of
those
buildings
with
some
hops
towers
and
otherwise,
making
it
accessible
to
the
community
and
also
students
and
visitors
to
the
field
next
slide.
CD
And
finally,
this
is
a
view
of
the
sort
of
reimagination
of
the
keg
shed
wall,
which
is
in
structural
disrepair
and
was
approved
in
2015
for
this
sort
of
restoration
and
reinterpretation
next
slide,
and
that
ends
my
presentation.
Thank
you.

Hey
thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from

board.

What
will
the
brewery
building
be
used
for
and
what
happens
to
the
existing
sweeney
lot.
CD
CD
What
was
planned
in
2015
and
what
is
still
planned
today
is
simply
an
exterior
rehabilitation
of
the
buildings
they
are
of
such
small
footprints.
That,
in
order
to
bring
them
up
to
today's
code
and
to
make
them
ada
accessible,
would
make
them
very
challenging
for
a
use
for
the
university
which
isn't
to
say
that
they
may
not
someday
seek
to
utilize
them
for
some
purpose,
but
for
today
the
proposal
will
remain
in
exterior
rehabilitation.
CD
At
the
existing
sweeney
field.
Wentworth
has
gone
through
a
full
rfp
process
with
private
entities
to
determine
whether
a
a
long-term
ground
lease
is
feasible
for
that
site.
For
private
redevelopment
of
it,
a
developer
has
been
selected
and
we
are
currently
negotiating
a
long-term
ground
lease.
We
are
hopeful
that
in
the
next
few
months
we
will
be
able
to
come
forward
together,
announce
that
and
that
that
will
move
forward.

CE
Yep,
okay,
can
you
see
me?
I
can't
see
you
or
hear
any
no
okay.
Well,
it's
late,
and
I
know
there
have
been
a
lot
of
technical
issues
so
I'll
just
power
on,
and
hopefully
this
works
good
evening.
Madam
chair
members
of
the
board
director
golden
madam
secretary,
my
name
is
johanna
schneider,
I'm
with
the
law
firm
of
heavenway
and
barnes
with
me
tonight,
our
mike
doherty,
the
project
architect
from
tet
and
bill
calder
the
developer.
CE
Thank
you
lance
for
the
introduction
and
for
all
of
your
hard
work
and
getting
the
project
to
this
point.
We're
really
excited
to
present
this
project
tonight.
It
represents
a
tremendous
opportunity
and
a
unique
opportunity
to
transform
an
underutilized
blighted,
parcel
prominently
located
on
the
edge
of
the
greenway
and
the
edge
of
the
north
end
place.
Can
you
flip
the
next
slide.
CE
And
the
next
one
we
are
proposing
a
130
four-room
hotel
with
two
ground
floor
restaurants.
One
of
the
restaurants
will
have
approximately
127
seats
and
will
be
operated
by
the
hotel
and
one
restaurant
will
have
approximately
115
seats
and
be
independently
operated.
CE
There
will
also
be
a
roof
terrace
that
will
be
open
for
limited,
seasonal,
dining,
consistent
with
the
zoning
code
and
the
city's
transportation
and
parking
goals.
The
project
leverages
its
walkability
and
proximity
to
public
transportation
by
providing
no
on-site,
no
on-site
parking,
but
rather
using
valet
parking
and
agreements
with
existing
area
garages
to
meet
what
we
anticipate
to
be
very
minimal
demand
for
parking
associated
with
this
project.
CE
The
project
incorporates
a
number
of
sustainable
features
geared
toward
delivering
an
energy
efficient
building
that
will
be
legal
certifiable
and
also
making
site
plan
improvements
that
will
reduce
the
heat
island
effect.
Perhaps
most
significantly,
this
project
will
dramatically
improve
the
public
realm
lance.
Can
you
look
for
the
next
one?
CE
There's
the
site
existing
into
the
next
slide,
if
you
can
flip
back
to
the
other
one,
I'm
sorry,
the
project
site
currently
houses,
mostly
vacant,
dilapidated
one-story
buildings
and
a
surface
parking
lot,
surrounded
by
a
chain-link
fence,
morton
street
and
catillo
park
to
the
rear,
are
home
to
numerous
undesirable
activities.
With
all
that,
the
use
of
the
word
undesirable
encompasses.
CE
This
project
really
is
uniquely
suited
to
transform
this
area
and
address
these
problems.
It's
an
active
use
intentionally
designed
to
connect
the
ground
floor
of
the
hotel
with
the
greenway
and
cotillo
park.
This
will
put
much
needed
eyes
on
the
park
and
increase
safety.
Also
as
part
of
our
public
realm
improvements,
we
will
be
reconstructing
morton
street,
implementing
robust
waste
management
and
rodent
control
programs
and
increasing
security
measures
in
the
area.
We're
also
making
a
significant
financial
contribution
to
the
city's
current
initiative
to
upgrade
attila
park
itself.
CE
CE
CE
Mine,
okay,
I
can't
see
I
can
barely
hear
so.
Just
let
me
know
I
should
just
let
me
know
if
I
should
stop
over
the
last
two
years,
the
developer
has
had
at
least
30
meetings
with
neighbors
community
groups
and
elected
officials.
AC
Thank
you
johanna
good
evening.
Everyone
next
slide
please.
AC
So
this
is
an
important
slide,
because
it
points
out
that
the
2010
greenway
overlay
district
guidelines
on
massing
for
this
portion
of
the
edge
of
the
greenway
suggested
a
55-foot
height
and
also
called
for
active
ground
floor
uses,
which
is
exactly
what
we're
proposing
next
slide.
Please.
This
is
the
first
floor
plan.
You
can
see
the
major
urban
design
move
is
the
ground
floor,
open
air
passageway
that
will
connect
crossfit
plaza
with
cutillo
park.
AC
AC
AC
This
shows
you
the
second
floor
plan,
just
very
briefly,
because
it
really
shows
you
that
two-story
open-air
passageway,
with
just
the
narrow
glass
bridge
connecting
across
for
access
to
the
rooms
next
slide,
we
jumped
ahead.
So
this
is
the
roof
terrace
and
the
important
thing
about
the
roof.
Terrace
is
it's
oriented
along
the
greenway
and
it's
it's
basically
along
the
edge
of
the
greenway,
as
you
know,
away
from
the
edge
budding
the
residential
neighborhoods.
AC
Also,
we've
set
back
the
roof
terrace
edge
along
the
east,
where
we've,
in
addition
set
back
the
fifth
floor
of
the
building
to
reduce
the
scale
as
it
as
the
building
goes
around
the
corner
to
endicott
street.
AC
AC
So
this
is
a
brief
recap
of
the
crossfit
plaza
improvements
that
have
been
designed
by
copley
wolf
in
in
concert
with
the
bpda
and
btd
there'll,
basically
be
a
new
dedicated
loading
and
drop
off
area
off
street
along
the
edge
of
cross
street.
Then
there'll
be
a
continuous
linear
planter
with
additional
street
trees.
AC
The
idea
is
to
raise
the
grade
in
this
area,
make
a
flush
condition
between
the
park
and
the
and
the
passive
way
to
the
plaza
next
slide.
Please
so
here's
a
view
of
the
building.
You
see
it.
You
know
looking
east,
it's
a
it
falls
on
the
masonry
traditions
of
the
north
end
and
it
further
articulates
itself
to
provide
some
variety
in
the
roof
line
which
was
asked
for
by
the
bpda.
AC
We
do
that
with
a
varying
cornice
and
with
the
fifth
floor
setback
on
the
left
hand,
side
in
the
foreground
that
I'd
mentioned
and,
and
importantly,
the
the
project
is
sort
of
broken
into
two
major
masses
with
a
a
a
joining
space
in
between
that
highlights
that
that
open,
passageway
next
slide,
please
here's
the
view
from
the
opposite
direction.
Again,
you
can
see
the
almost
like
a
gateway
above
the
the
passageway
and
the
variety
between
the
architectural
character
of
the
two
different
halves
of
the
building
next
slide.
AC
AC
So
here
you
really
start
to
see
how
welcoming
the
space
will
be
with
the
transparency
of
the
bridge.
You
know
the
two-story
space
almost
20
feet
wide,
the
the
glassy
hotel
lobby
on
the
left
and
the
tenant
restaurant
on
the
right.
It's
really
going
to
be
an
inviting
you
know
way
to
see
through
and
pat
and
then
be
and
pass
through
to
coachella
park.
The
next
slide
is
just
a
sort
of
a
close-up
of
that.
AC
Just
to
give
you
a
real
sense
of
the
scale
of
that
space
next
slide,
please
so
here's
the
view
from
the
cutilla
park
side
and
again
you
see
the
passageway.
You
see
the
bridge
above
some
of
the
rooms
on
either
side
of
that,
and
then
the
next
slide
zooms
in
on
this
view.
AC
Again,
you
can
see
the
scale
and
you
see
a
person
on
the
bridge
in
this
particular
view,
and
then
the
last
slide
of
the
presentation
of
the
architectural
presentation
is
sort
of
the
reimagined
view
along
morton
street
right
now.
It's
a
pretty
awful
condition.
AC
There's
issues
with
trash,
there's
issues
with
syringes,
there's
issues
with
rodents,
there's
drainage
issues.
This
is
the
reimagined
version
of
morton,
where
those
things
have
been
addressed,
along
with
the
new
passageway
to
cutillo
park.
That
will
really
open
up
that
that
experience,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
to
johanna.
CE
Very
briefly,
the
project
is,
of
course,
providing
significant
public
and
community
benefits.
We
are
going
to
be
investing
1.3
million
dollars
in
the
upgrades
to
cross
street
plaza
and
morton
street
that
mike
overviewed
next
slide.
Please
we're
going
to
be
fostering
the
city's
goals
for
creating
multimodal
access
along
cross
street,
we're
adding
a
pedestrian
zone.
CE
That's
going
to
be
protected,
a
bike
zone
dedicated
loading
on
cross
street
and
valet
operations
and
rideshare
drop
off
from
salem
street
for
area
businesses
as
well
as
for
the
project
we
are
going
to
have
a
robust,
tdm
program,
including
participation
in
the
tma.
We
are
working
with
btd
in
order
to
identify
additional
resident
overnight
parking
locations,
understanding
that
some
residents
currently
do
park
on
cross
street
plaza
next
slide.
Please
lots
of
infrastructure
benefits
is
mic
overviewed,
as
sustainability
is
built
into
the
project
and
the
next
slide.
CE
Please,
and
then
we
are
also
making
significant
financial
contributions
both
to
local
community
organizations
and
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
the
parks
department
for
their
improvement
project,
which
is
ongoing
for
coachella
park,
and
with
that
we
will
take
any
questions
that
the
board
may
have.
E
Great,
thank
you,
questions
or
comments
from
the
board.
E
So
sorry,
yes,
senator
edwards,
is
here
and
would
like
to
to
make
a
comment.
So
the
floor
is
yours.
BC
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you,
I
think
we're
almost
six
hours
so
kudos
to
the
board
members
for
your
diligence
and
your
attention
to
detail.
I
have
been
consistently
in
opposition
to
this
project
and
I
speak
here
today
in
opposition
of
it,
mostly
because
the
question
I
think
for
you
and
for
for
me,
is:
is
this
the
best
use?
Is
this
the
best
thing
that
we
can
really
offer
the
people
of
the
north
end
that
I
represent
and
I'm
honored
to
represent?
BC
Yes,
there
are
a
lot
of
benefits.
Beautification
that
will
come
from
this.
Those
benefits
can
come
from
a
lot
of
different
forms
of
development.
Well
quickly,
dismissed
that
the
neighbors
in
the
condominiums
behind
them,
that's
26,
stillman
they're.
My
constituents
have
do
agree
that
there
should
should
be
something
that
happens
there.
I
did
notice
in
all
of
the
angles
of
the
views
that
were
presented
tonight.
BC
Not
one
actually
came
from
the
viewpoint
of
the
folks
of
that
building
because
their
viewpoint
will
be
a
brick
wall
or
there
isn't
one
right
now,
and
so,
when
you're
going
to
not
just
inconvenience
but
permanently
take
away,
light
and
view
points
and
probably
property
values
from
a
group
core
group
of
individuals.
The
question
for
you
and
the
question
for
me
is:
is
it
worth
it
is
this
that
unique
is
what
is
happening
here,
something
that
could
but
for
it
happening
we
would
never
have
this
beautification.
BC
You
know
damn
well,
it's
not
true.
We
could
have
a
lot
of
these
benefits
with
housing.
We
can
have
a
lot
of
benefits
with
other
things
and
also
meeting
the
displacement
crisis.
My
point
is
it's
not
worth
it.
It
just
isn't,
and
I
don't
think
that
you
can
honestly
justify
that.
Also,
the
question
is
a
matter
of
the
use
is
a
better
the
traffic
that
is
going
to
be
there.
If
you,
if
you
looked
at
the
map,
there's
a
bottleneck
actually
going
closer
to
93.
BC
I
also
wanted
to
note
that
the
the
real
question
for
a
lot
of
us-
and
I
I
I
understand
it's
within
the
height
limit
of
the
55
feet,
but
there
have-
and
I
was
one
of
the
many
conversations
that
the
developer
had
and
spoke
with
them-
and
I
spoke
with
the
folks
at
26,
stillman
and
other
residents
actually
beyond
them,
who
were
very
concerned
about
this,
not
being
the
right
fit,
the
right
location,
the
right
use
for
our
neighborhood,
and
I
asked
them.
I
always
ask
them.
I
can't
just
say
no.
BC
What
do
you
want
and
they
came
back
with
what
I
thought
was
reasonable,
which
was
a
two-story
development
and
beautification
of
that
area.
They
do
want
beauty,
they
do
want
to
see
it
developed,
but
a
hotel
used
at
this
height
at
this
massing
isn't
the
right
time
it
just
isn't
the
right
fit
for
this
particular
place.
I
would
encourage
you
to
really
ask
yourselves
all
of
the
benefits
lined
up
in
front
of
you.
We
see
on
this
screen,
could
we
not
get
jobs?
Could
we
not
get
community
benefits?
BC
Could
we
not
get
something
else
through
developing
this
in
a
more
sustainable
neighborhood
friendly
project?
Ask
yourselves
if
you
were
in
this
condo.
If
you
had
invested
your
life
savings,
if
you
lived
there
and
all
you
get
to
look
at
now,
is
a
brick
wall.
BC
So
I
can
speak
yes,
morton
street
the
park
attila
park,
but
the
friends
of
the
catillo
park,
the
community
that
came
together
to
actually
make
the
park
better,
is
an
opposition
of
this.
So
I've
I've
been
on
record
in
writing
and
I
will
continue
to
be
an
inconsistent
with
my
opposition.
So
thank
you.
E
So
we'll
have
we'll
have
questions,
questions
from
the
board,
so
we'll
we'll
kick
that
off
I'll!
Kick
that
off!
Yes,
yes,
you,
if
you
would
like
to
respond
to
some
of
the
concerns
that
presented
by
senator
edwards.
That
would
be
great.
CE
Sure-
and
I
want
to
thank
senator
edwards
for
her
interest
in
this
project
and
for
her
numerous
meetings
and
attendance
of
her
and
her
staff
at
our
various
community
meetings.
So
I
think
the
first
thing
to
bear
in
mind
with
respect
to
the
26th
stillman
building
is
that
several
residents
of
26th
gilman
already
have
their
views
blocked.
CE
There
is
an
existing
four-story
building
at
57
endicott
street,
so
several
of
those
units
will
not
have
any
change
in
their
condition,
and
I
also
want
to
note
that
this
project
is
actually
set
back
even
further
than
57
endicott
street.
As
senator
edwards
pointed
out.
You
know
this
building
is
actually
within
the
55
foot
height
limit
of
article
54..
CE
I
think
the
you
know
the
board
is
aware
of
the
financial
reality.
The
land
costs
the
cost
of
developing
in
the
city,
and
I
think
that
it
is
likely
that
any
development
project,
regardless
of
use,
will
be
building
a
55
foot
tall
building
in
this
location,
and
so
the
question
really
is:
are
there
benefits
that
come
from
an
active
use?
This
is
a
use
that
is
partially
on
the
green
way.
It
fronts
the
greenway.
CE
It
fills
in
a
missing
tooth
on
the
green,
and
the
use
is
very
consistent
with
the
city's
vision
for
this
area.
We've
got
active
ground
floor
uses,
we've
got
restaurants,
we've
got
the
passage
that
links
the
neighborhood
and
the
greenway.
These
are
all
exciting
things
that
you
would
not
see,
I
think,
in
a
condominium
or
a
rental
housing
proposal.
CE
I
think
the
other
thing
that
we're
able
to
do
is
eliminate
the
need
for
parking
spaces
with
this
use.
We
did,
of
course,
do
a
traffic
study.
It
showed
that
anticipated
vehicle
trips
from
the
hotel
can
readily
be
accommodated
within
the
existing
transportation
network.
The
advantage
to
a
hotel
is
that
we
can
do
a
zero
parking
project.
We
can
accommodate
any
vehicles
that
might
come
to
this
site
in
area
garages,
whereas
if
you
had
a
residential
use,
particularly
if
it
was
a
condominium
use,
those
people
would
most
likely
be
looking
for
on-site
parking.
CE
This
is
a
challenging
site
to
put
parking
on.
You
can't
put
it
underground
because
of
all
of
the
tunnel
infrastructure,
which
means
that
the
height
of
the
building
will
be
driven
up
by
the
need
to
provide
at-grade
parking.
So,
yes,
there
might
be
alternative
forms
of
development,
but
I
would
submit
that
they
would
be
potentially
significantly
more
impactful
with
fewer
benefits
to
the
public
realm
and
fewer
benefits
in
terms
of
revitalization
of
the
site.

I
I
just
have
a
few
staff
announcements
I'd
like
to
share,
because
once
again
we
have
some
really
important
members
of
the
bpda
moving
on
after
spending
a
significant
amount
of
their
professional
life.
Here,
lance
campbell
has
served
the
people
of
boston
for
more
than
24
years,
beginning
in
october
1997..
AM
In
that
time,
he's
worked
as
one
from
senior
planner
project
manager
and,
ultimately,
the
senior
project
manager
where
he
has
continued
to
serve
for
roughly
15
years.
Throughout
that
time,
lance
has
played
a
significant
role
in
a
variety
of
boston
housing
authority
projects,
including
the
old
colony
redevelopment,
he's
worked
on
a
wide
variety
of
projects
in
jamaica,
plain,
including
the
blessed
sacrament
parish
facilities,
as
well
as
as
as
a
large
number
of
projects
in
austin
brighton.
AM
Throughout
his
time
there
wins

been
an
important
friend,
a
warm
happy
presence
here,
he's
a
great
leader
manager,
co-worker
and
friend,
to
all
of
us.
It's
worked
tirelessly
with
community
members
throughout
the
city
and
the
thing
I've
always
heard
in
my
time
working
here,
but
also
in
my
prior
life.
When
I
was
serving
also
brighton
state
legislative
chair,
lance
was
always
out
in
austin
brighton,
even
in
the
most
contentious
sort
of
challenging
conversations
out
in
the
neighborhoods.
Everyone
always
walked
away
from
encounters
with
lamp,
with
really
positive
things
to
say
about
them.
AM
People
really
liked
lance.
They
cared
about
them,
they're,
going
to
miss
them
here
at
city
hall
and
out
in
the
neighborhoods.
We
wish
lance
campbell
and
his
family,
great
success
and
happiness,
and
the
journey
ahead.
AM
Ashlyn
kerr
has
has
not
been
with
us
as
long
as
lance
she's
been
with
us
since
2017
so
about
five
years.
But
boy
she's
had
a
really
high
impact
in
this
agency
and
in
the
city
city
she's
got
some
really
big
things
done
during
the
biggest
building
boom
and
the
history
of
boston.
AM
Ashland
has
a
real
can-do
attitude,
a
very
positive
attitude
about
every
issue
that
comes
before
her
every
project.
AM
She's
she's
worked
throughout
the
pandemic
shutdown
helping
with
the
city's
food
distribution
program,
which
bpda
staff
played
a
really
large
role
in
back
in
2020
ashley's,
been
a
value
member
of
the
team
here
and
we're
really
going
to
miss
her
personally
and
professionally.
AM
AM
It's
also
my.
I
think
it's
important
that
I
share
some
sad
news
about
some
key
retired
professionals
from
the
agency
that
have
passed
away
in
recent
weeks,
both
of
them
served
about
50
years
each
in
the
organization,
so
billboard
bill,
barbado,
passed
away
in
recent
weeks.
Bill
was
a
chief
project
engineer
for
the
agency.
AM
AM
AM
He
was
a
student
at
that
time
at
boston,
college,
high
school
and,
in
addition
to
his
usual
title
that
he
occupied
or
held
for
most
of
his
career
executive
assistant
to
the
director
paul
mccann
also
served
as
the
acting
director
of
the
agency
on
four
separate
occasions,
paul
mccann
retired
from
the
agency
in
2005..
AM
He
spent
many
decades
of
his
life,
helping
to
make
boston
one
of
the
great
cities
of
the
world,
and
that
is
a
fine
professional
legacy.
Our
thoughts
and
prayers
are
with
paul
with
his
wife,
pat
and
his
entire
family.
During
this
difficult
time,
and
finally,
a
quick
worry
about
the
seaport
ems
station.
Tonight
you
approved
space
for
a
future
ems
station
to
serve
the
south
boston
waterfront,
the
space
which
will
be
located
in
the
raymond
l
flynn.
Marine
car
will
be
leased
to
the
boston
public
health
commission
to
provide
necessary
emergency
services
to
the
public.
AM
Now,
currently,
the
ems
station
on
west
broadway
in
south
boston
serves
both
that
neighborhood,
south
boston,
proper
and
the
south
boston
waterfront.
However,
the
number
of
people
living
in
the
south
austin
waterfront
has
grown
by
200
percent
over
the
last
10
years.
This
has
increased
demand
for
emergency
services.
AM
According
to
boston
ems
call,
volume
has
doubled
as
a
result
of
this
residential
increase,
as
well
as
because
of
the
increase
in
visitors
and
employees
in
the
businesses
and
cultural
institutions
of
the
south
boston
waterfront.
AM
We're
proud
to
be
able
to
offer
bpda-o
land
in
the
marine
park
for
this
new
ems
station.
This
is
another
example
of
using
public
land
for
public
good,
in
this
case,
providing
critical
infrastructure
that
will
provide
emergency
metal
care,
medical
care
and
ultimately
save
lives,
so
ending
on
a
positive
note
for
critical
services
to
the
people
of
boston
in
the
south.
Boston
waterfront
with
that.
Thank
you
very
much
have
a
great
evening,
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you
next
month.
AM
Thank
you.
Thank

director
golden
and,
on
behalf
of
the
board,
our
condolences
to
the
families
of
our
colleagues
that
have
passed
and
thank
you
for
supporting
them
and
their
service
to
the
city
and
also
thank
you
for
your
service,
lance
and
ashlyn.
You
are
definitely
going
to
be
missed
by
this
board
and
you've
done
some
amazing
work
and
your
impact
is
going
to
be
felt
for
for
generations.
So
we
wish
you
the
best
of
luck
in
your
future
endeavors,
and
with
that,
let's
go
ahead
and
adjourn
