Description
The Boston Planning & Development Agency Meeting (BPDA) is the municipal planning and development agency for the City of Boston, working on both housing and commercial developments. The Board of Directors meet monthly with developers, businesses and residents to provide direction for development in the City of Boston
A
A
That
I
notify
the
public
that
this
meeting
is
being
recorded.
Therefore,
please
be
aware
that
an
audio
and
visual
recording
of
this
meeting
is
being
made
in
broadcast
by
Boston
City
TV,
which
is
a
part
of
the
city
of
Boston
office
of
cable
communications.
The
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
request:
authorization
for
the
approval
of
the
minutes
of
May
17
2008
een,
meeting
motions
in
order.
C
D
You,
mr.
chairman
and
members
of
the
board
master
poets,
Flynn
cruise
poet,
Boston,
will
see
over
160
cruise
ships
of
the
season
with
more
than
300,000
people
visiting
Boston
the
cruise
ship
activity
in
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
marine
park
has
increased
greatly
in
recent
years,
resulting
in
substantial
parking
revenue
that
supports
BPD
a
activities
to
a
one-year
license
agreement
in
2017
Massport,
initiating
a
pilot
wayfinding
program
consisting
of
adhesive
decals
on
area
sidewalks
to
direct
passengers
from
the
cruise
terminal
to
area
attractions.
D
Due
to
the
success
of
last
year's
program,
mass
port
would
like
to
extend
the
program
for
for
an
additional
five
years.
The
proposed
wayfinding
system
also
integrates
into
a
larger
pedestrian
wayfinding
system
for
all
the
South
Boston
waterfront
promoted
through
the
South
Boston
waterfront
sustainable
transportation.
D
Plan
of
2015
mass
port
will
be
solely
responsible
for
all
facets
of
the
installation
and
maintenance
of
these
decals,
and
it
is
asked
that
the
license
extend
through
the
end
of
the
2023
season
because
of
the
act,
the
economic
activity
created
by
the
cruise
ship
activity
in
support
of
BPD
a
activities.
It
is
the
staffs
recommendation
that
any
license
fee
be
waived.
I'll
be
happy
to
try
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
members
of
the
board
might
have.
Okay,
Thank.
D
That
is
an
excellent
question.
This
is
mass
poets
request,
I
think
that
five
years
and
the
decals
will
give
us
sufficient,
sustain
sufficient
flexibility
should
the
needs
change.
But
this
is
to
be
very
blunt.
This
would
be
an
interim
measure.
It
has
worked
very
successfully
last
year
through
the
maze
of
streets
in
the
park.
It
can
be
a
little
bit
intimidating
to
people
from
out
of
town,
so
we're
asking
for
five
years.
A
F
Afternoon
as
Acting
Director
of
Finance
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
and
congratulate
the
entire
finance
division
for
the
hard
work
on
the
fiscal
year.
19
budget,
since
serving
as
the
acting
director
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
more
closely
with
the
finance
staff
they're,
the
quiet
behind
the
scene
team
that
works
hard
every
day
and
produces
quality
work
every
time.
F
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
before
the
budget
presentation
to
make
sure
that
you
understand
and
appreciate
all
of
their
hard
work,
not
just
during
the
during
the
budget
season,
but
all
year,
long,
a
special
thank
you
to
Bob
and
Michelle
for
leading
this
fabulous
team
and
now
I'd
like
to
introduce
Michelle
to
further
the
presentation.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
H
G
Afternoon
mr.
chair
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary
I
am
Michelle
Goldberg
the
budget
and
procurement
manager.
It
is
my
pleasure
to
present
to
you
the
FY,
19,
operating
and
capital
budget.
Today
we
are
seeking
your
approval
on
a
plan
that
advances
our
efforts
to
focus
on
long-term
planning,
enhance
transparency
and
to
support
the
core
work
of
the
Boston
planning
and
development
agency
in
the
audience.
Today,
our
members
of
the
Budget
and
Finance
team,
who
are
here
in
support
of
the
budget,
which
is
a
reflection
of
their
talent,
hard
work
and
dedication
to
this
organization.
G
I
would
like
to
thank
them
and
the
many
folks
across
the
VPD
a
that
have
contributed
to
this
annual
document.
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
commitment
and
stewardship
of
Bob
Luisi
our
controller.
Thank
you
for
all
your
support
and
hard
work.
We
have
provided
the
board
with
a
draft
version
of
the
budget
book
which
we
intend
to
release
soon.
After
your
approval,
we
will
be
sure
to
announce
when
the
FY
19
budget
book
has
been
formatted
by
our
graphics
team
and
is
available
to
the
public.
G
G
When
it
comes
to
the
process
for
this
year's
budget,
FY
19
is
guided
by
the
same
goals
we
have
been
pursuing
throughout
our
multi-year
effort
to
improve
financial
practices,
to
increase
organization,
transparency
and
the
level
of
detail
in
the
BPD
a
budget.
We
are
working
to
further
refine
our
coding
practices,
reporting
capabilities
and
tracking
systems.
The
BPD
a
budget
book
is
institutionalizing.
This
work
in
a
new
way
for
the
organization
and
the
public
by
building
out
a
more
detailed
capital
planning
process
to
support
long-term
cash
management.
G
The
BPD
a
is
able
to
confidently
fund
its
long
term
liabilities
such
as
other
post-employment
benefits
for
our
retired
employees.
Fy
19
is
the
first
year
that
our
request
for
approval
includes
a
vote
on
a
comprehensive
capital
budget,
the
BPD
a
always
monitored
capital
spending,
but
board
approval
was
done
incrementally
as
projects
at
procurement
approval.
Today,
we
are
able
to
present
the
board
with
a
detailed
plan
for
capital
spending
in
the
next
fiscal
year.
G
That
also
includes
enough
flexibility
to
respond
to
the
evolving
nature
of
capital
project
management,
a
special
thank
you
to
Enrico
Ramona,
Dillon
Darcy,
as
well
as
Paul
Osborne
and
Dolores
Fazio
from
real
estate
for
their
work
on
the
capital
budget.
They
have
really
helped
to
move
the
needle
in
this
effort.
The
BP
da
is
also
mitigating
the
impact
of
rising
healthcare
costs
by
remaining
self
insured
for
Edic
health
insurance.
Excuse
me,
partially
self-insured.
G
By
leveraging
our
technology
and
collaborating
with
our
administrative
departments.
We
are
better
able
to
support
department
heads
in
their
effort
to
make
data-driven
decisions.
These
accomplishments
would
not
be
possible
without
the
diligent
work
of
the
accounting
team,
the
budget
and
ap
team,
the
financial
compliance
team,
the
Human
Resources
team
and
other
stakeholders
across
the
agency.
G
When
looking
at
the
FY
19
budget,
it
is
important
to
keep
in
mind
our
complex
structure.
The
BP
da
is
made
up
of
three
corporations
in
two
501
C
3s.
Our
audits
must
separate
these,
but
the
plan
that
guides
our
management
decisions
as
an
organization
must
take
into
account
all
five
entities.
That
is
why
we
present
our
budget
from
a
combined
point
of
view.
G
These
pie,
charts
reflect
the
proportion
of
sources
and
uses
across
those
five
entities.
Rental
leases
and
parking
is
the
BP
DA's
largest
source
of
revenue
at
62
percent.
The
second
large
largest
source
of
revenue
is
grants
and
donations.
This
category
includes
funding
for
the
office
of
Workforce
Development
and
the
intercompany
grant
from
Edic
to
the
B
RA
the
grants
and
donations
revenue
for
owd,
mainly
funds
economic
development
programming,
which
is
a
contractual
service
expense
and
the
b
ras
intercompany
grant
revenue
which
funds
contractual
expenses
from
all
of
our
entities.
G
So
by
and
large
there
is
a
close
relationship
between
the
grants
and
donations,
category
which
is
28%
of
revenue
and
the
contractual
services
category,
which
is
30
percent
of
overall
B
PDA
spending.
The
next
largest
group
of
expenses
are
personnel
at
34
percent
and
benefits
at
16
percent,
which
is
a
combined
50
percent
of
agency
spending.
Overall,
we
always
like
to
remind
folks
that
if
you
take
out
the
owd
contractual
services,
spending
in
the
intern
company
grant
personnel
and
benefits
of
is
the
excuse
me.
G
Personnel
and
benefits
is
80
percent
of
the
remaining
spending,
which
goes
to
show
how
important
staffing
decisions
and
benefit
management
is
for
the
B
PDA.
The
pie
chart
shows
you
the
proportions
of
each
category
in
this
budget.
The
next
table
helps
to
explain
the
relationship
between
actual
dollars
and
budgets
over
time.
G
When
building
budgets,
we
look
at
actual
performance
and
projections
to
make
decisions
for
the
future.
We
also
look
at
past
budgets
to
assess
how
much
actual
performance
to
carry
into
our
future
years
and
how
our
plan
is
changing
over
time.
You
can
see
in
this
table
that
the
FY
19
budgeted
surplus
of
around
a
million
dollars
is
well
below
the
actual
results
of
FY
17
and
lower
than
the
FY
18
projections,
yet
an
increased
budgeted
surplus
as
compared
to
the
FY
18
budget.
G
In
FY
17,
we
had
an
early
payment
of
the
zoom
Leafs,
which
resulted
in
a
lump
sum
payment
rather
than
installments
over
time.
In
FY
18,
we
are
seeing
a
variety
of
favorable
items
in
revenue
that
we
have
discussed
during
quarterly
updates,
such
as
collection,
a
collection
of
unanticipated
one-time
lease
transactions
and
better
than
expected
parking
revenue
due
to
the
addition
of
new
parking
lot
locations.
G
Overall,
in
FY
19
total
budgeted
revenue
is
declining
slightly
from
FY
18.
Even
with
this
decline
in
revenue,
the
bottom
line
budgeted
surplus
is
increasing
due
to
a
relatively
larger
decline
in
overall
expenses.
This
increase
in
budgeted
surplus
is
due
in
part
to
the
BPD.
A
is
completion
of
capital
work
at
the
China
trade
building,
which
is
now
ready
for
full
occupancy.
G
The
second
key
consideration
in
building
the
FY
19
revenue
budget
is
the
continued
decline
in
federal
state
and
donation
funding
for
the
office
of
Workforce
Development.
Some
costs
are
declining
with
it,
but
it
is
not
a
one-for-one
reduction
and
the
owd
deficit
remains.
Edic
has
continued
its
support
of
the
critical
economic
development
work
of
owd
and
has
sustained
its
commitment
to
fund
the
owd
operational
deficit.
G
As
mentioned
before,
our
China
trade
building
is
ready
to
be
occupied
and
construction
spending
is
tapering
off,
so
the
contractual
services
category
is
declining
because
of
the
reduction
in
the
intercompany
grant,
but
that
does
create
an
uptick
in
property
management
expenses,
because
the
building
will
now
consume
more
electricity,
more
water
and
require
more
security
and
upkeep.
Another
important
item
in
the
contractual
Services
category
is
the
funding
for
planning
studies
in
FY
17,
the
Boston
2030
initiative
concluded
and
the
BPD
a
spent
FY
18
reviewing
the
results
and
sorting
through
priorities.
G
The
FY
19
budget
includes
funding
for
several
planning
studies
across
the
city,
including
East
Boston,
downtown
Austin
Brighton.
In
Mattapan,
outside
of
these
items
items
we
are
planning
for
a
relatively
similar
performance
in
revenue
and
expenses
in
slide
8.
It
shows
our
staffing
by
Department,
which
is
driving
our
personnel
expenses,
as
mentioned
in
our
FY
18
quarterly
updates.
We
have
seen
several
vacancies
as
a
result
of
attrition.
We
are
continuing
to
leverage
opportunities
to
reorganize
and
rethink
when
and
where
we
fund
positions.
G
For
example,
our
planning
department
has
been
the
focus
of
our
staff
staffing
strategy
in
recent
years
and
we'll
go
into
FY
19
with
11
vacancies.
Six
of
those
vacancies
are
for
existing
positions
that
need
to
be
backfilled,
but
the
BPD
a
is
also
investing
in
positions
for
transportation,
planners
urban
design,
planners
and
community
engagement
planners
to
support
the
work
of
the
scheduled
plans
that
we
are
funding
in
FY
19.
Overall,
our
headcount
is
expected.
G
Expectations
for
FY
19
are
in
line
with
what
we
had
planned
in
FY
17
and
our
net
increase
of
six
additional
positions
for
from
the
FY
18
budget,
and
now
we
can
turn
to
our
capital
plans.
As
mentioned
before.
Your
vote
today
will
include
approval
of
a
strategic
capital
plan
that
invests
in
business
process,
improvement,
software
and
repairs
to
critical
assets
that
sustain
the
work
of
the
agency.
Our
budget
book
provides
a
comprehensive
narrative
that
describes
all
the
specific
projects
that
this
table
summarizes.
G
You
can
see
that
the
China
trade
project
spending
is
winding
down,
as
reflected
in
the
decline
in
the
intercompany
grant
that
we
talked
about
over
in
our
operations
budget.
With
that
project,
wrapping
up
we
plan
to
shift
our
focus
to
the
garage
and
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
Marine
Park,
which
is
in
need
of
repair.
G
The
garage
generates
roughly
5
million
dollars
in
revenue
each
year
for
the
BPD,
a
so
by
investing
in
the
garage,
the
BPD
a
will
be
able
to
capture
sustainable
revenue
to
address
some
of
our
future
needs,
such
as
our
long
list
of
capital
capital
needs.
Also,
we
will
be
continuing
projects
that
are
funded
by
the
city
of
Boston,
and
we
are
always
grateful
for
that
collaboration.
In
conclusion,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
board
for
their
ongoing
support
and
we
look
forward
to
your
questions
and
feedback.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
Want
to
make
one
comment:
I
do
listening
to
your
presentation,
Michelle
and
that
I
know
Bob
and
the
whole
team
put
a
lot
of
work
into
I.
Remember
this
moment
at
Priscilla's
and
my
confirmation
hearing
in
City
Council
Chambers,
where
a
city
councilor
expressed
a
great
deal
of
frustration
at
never
being
able
to
see
the
BPD
a
budget
and
having
no
understanding
of
what
we
were
spending
or
what
we
were
doing
and
so
to
sit
here
today
and
hear
you
go
through
so
competently,
our
revenues
and
our
expenses
and
our
projections.
C
It
just
is
very
clear
how
far
we
have
come
and
it's
to
a
great
deal
of
credit
to
the
finance
and
administration
department
for
bringing
us
on
this
journey
and
and
it's
a
quiet
success.
You
know
you're
not
going
to
show
up
in
the
globe
and
I,
don't
think
anyone
in
City
Council
will
even
notice
that
we
have
this
really
great
budget,
but
maybe
they
will
but
I
think
it's
really.
I
This
is
my
world
right,
I,
I,
know,
Dex,
I,
know,
budgets,
I
know
a
county.
I
know
all
this
stuff.
This
is
awesome
like
it
takes
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
skill
to
be
clear
and
concise
and
to
deliver
data
with
with
clarity
and
transparency,
and
so
so
congratulations
to
you
and
the
team
and
I
guess
my
one.
I
My
one
question
is
is
on
is
on
the
headcount,
while
yes,
revenues
and
you
know
and
our
properties
are,
you
know,
assets
and
stuff
I
think
the
this
organization's
biggest
assets
are
its
people,
and
so
that's
always
my
biggest
concern.
If
from
a
headcount
perspective
you
know,
are
we
doing
enough
to
recruit
and
retain?
We
have
very
highly
talented
people,
but
we
ask
them
to
do
a
lot
with
a
little.
I
G
J
Thank
you
for
Silla
yeah.
The
your
question
is
is
very
valid
right.
How
do
we
retain
and
retain
our
top
talent?
Retain
our
talent
right?
Are
we
competitive
with
the
market?
What
I
will
be
presenting
after
this?
Is
we
have
done
a
three-year
compensation
study
with
consultants
from
a
Marshall
MacLennan
and
we'll
be
presenting
a
revised
compensation
structure
that
really
benchmarks?
Not
only
each
department
into
you
know,
what's
out
there
in
the
market,
as
well
as
individual
jobs,
and
also
room
for
growth,
as
people
move
up
in
their
roles.

sherry
Lee
from
finance,
Ryan
Fernanda
from
compliance,
Olivia
Ruth
from
Mis
and
Lisa
Harrington
and
Nicole
Pryor
from
the
general
counsel,
and
that's
for
your
consideration.
We
also
have
one
travel
item
for
your
consideration:
that's
Lynnae
banks
from
our
HR
office
and
before
I
go
into
the
compensation
structure
policy.
J
J
So
for
the
compensation
we've
done
an
updated
and
revised
compensation
structure.
We've
done
a
three-year
study,
like
I,
said
with
Marshall
McLennan,
and
we
what
the
study
showed
is
it
allowed
us
to
benchmark
outside
and
it's
a
living
document,
so
it
will
be
continuously
benchmarked
aged
every
year,
we're
looking
for
any
opportunities
if
we're
struggling
with
a
recruitment
or
attrition,
we
will
always
be
looking
at
it
so
again
for
your
consideration,
revised
compensation
structure,
which
is
in
your
board,
memo.
A
J

A
The
open
meeting
law
requires
that
I
notify
the
public
that
this
meeting
is
being
recorded.
Therefore,
please
be
aware
that
an
audio
and
visual
recording
of
this
meeting
is
being
made
in
broadcast
by
Boston
City
TV,
which
is
a
part
of
the
city
of
Boston
office
of
cable
communications,
and
the
first
item
is
requests
authorization
for
the
approval
of
the
minutes
of
May
17
2008
een,
meeting
motions
in
order
so
moved
second.
Second,
all
in
favor,
aye.
H
A
C
L
C
A
L

That
iPod
was
in
effect
for
one
year.
It
is
due
to
expire
next
month,
although
we
have
had
conversations
with
elected
officials
and
civic
groups
about
the
zoning
that
is
now
in
place.
We
do
need
additional
time.
So
what
we're
asking
right
now,
it's
just
for
an
extension
of
one
year,
and
this
is
scheduled
to
go
before
the
Zoning
Commission
next
month.
Okay,
thank.
L
C
H
A
Item
number
five
requests
authorization
to
petition
the
Zoning
Commission
to
adopt
a
text;
amendment
of
the
Boston
zoning
code;
to
increase
the
housing
exacts
exaction
in
jobs,
contribution
to
nine
dollars
and
three
cents
per
square
foot;
and
one
dollar
and
seventy
eight
cents
per
square
foot
respectively.
So
now.
M
As
you
may
know,
linkage
applies
to
projects
seeking
rezoning
relief
that
are
over
100
thousand
square
feet
and
meet
the
definition
of
a
dip
project
such
as
office
residential
excuse
me,
office,
retail,
not
residential
office,
reached
an
institutional
route
or
hotel
currently
for
every
square
foot
of
development
that
this
world
approves
over
a
hundred
thousand
square
feet
as
a
dip
project.
Eight
thousand
thirty,
four
cents
per
square
foot
goes
towards
a
neighborhood
housing
trust
and
one
dollar,
and
seventy
sixty
seven
one
dollar
and
thirty.
Four
cents
goes
towards
housing
towards
towards
jobs.
M
So
a
little
bit
of
a
history
on
linkage
linkage
was
created
in
1983
with
an
initial
fee
of
$5
per
square
foot
for
housing
in
1986
linkage
was
the
childish
that
was
added
for
$1
per
square
foot
for
jobs.
Interestingly
enough
Boston's,
the
only
city
in
the
country
that
has
jobs
linkage
even
today
in
1987
Boston
was
given
the
legal
authority
to
require
linkage
and
adjust
the
fee
for
inflation
or
CPI.
M
Every
36
months
linkage
was
incorporated
into
our
zoning
code
in
1996
and
was
first
adjusted
in
2002
five
dollars
and
49
cents
for
housing
and
one
dollar
and
nine
cents
for
jobs.
Linkage.
Adjustments
are
not
automatic.
So
since
2000,
despite
having
the
authority
to
adjust
linkage
by
CPI
every
three
years,
linkage
is
only
when
adjusted
three
times
since
the
beginning
of
the
program.
M
Over
168
million
dollars
has
been
collected
for
housing
and
over
38
million
dollars
has
been
collected
for
jobs
for
a
total
of
over
200
million
dollars
since
2014
over
40
million
dollars
in
housing.
Linkage
has
leveraged
a
total
of
five
hundred
and
sixty
two
million
dollars
in
public
funds
in
39
developments
that
cost
837
million
dollars
in
total.
These
projects
have
created
one
thousand
two
hundred
and
sixty-eight
affordable
units
and
preserved
over
five
hundred
existing
affordable
units.
M
Linkage
over
two
over
nine
million
dollars
has
been
collected
since
2014,
which
has
helped
more
than
2300
low
and
moderate
income
residents,
access,
job
training
and
education
programs.
The
mayors
at
the
mayor's
tuition
college
program
that
was
just
launched
very
recently,
is
fully
funded
through
this
program
as
our
training
programs
and
locksmithing
and
carpentry
at
the
North
Vernon
Street
School
and
cooking
in
life
skills
training
at
community
surveys.
As
you
may
see
in
this
in
this
chart,
the
last
increase
to
linkage
was
in
2013,
which
gave
us
an
option.
M
M
Just
a
few
words
on
the
Endicott
on
the
strong
development
climate
office,
vacancy
rates
have
been
declining
since
2014.
The
current
rate
of
6.7%,
with
average
rents
per
square
foot
at
$57,
sixty-eight
cents
with
the
strongest
office
markets
being
the
financial
district
back
bay
and
seaport
Hotel
vacancy
rates
have
been
increasing
since
2015.
M
M
M
C
A
N
Burke
members,
the
board
I'm
Ted
Reed
epi8,
director
for
transportation
and
infrastructure
planning,
and
we're
very
pleased
to
present
to
you
this
evening.
The
Boston
smart
utilities
project
which
aims
to
bring
about
more
coordinated
resilient
infrastructure
planning
in
Boston.
The
keystone
of
this
project
is
a
new
pilot
policy
for
article
80
development
that
would
ask
developers
to
incorporate
smart
utility
technologies
into
their
developments.
N
We've
gone
to
great
lengths
to
craft
a
policy
for
article
80
projects,
that's
reasonable
and
flexible,
with
relief
valves
built
into
it
to
ensure
that
developers
are
asked
to
move
forward
only
if
there
is
demonstrated
economic
feasibility
and
return
on
investment.
This
will
be
a
two-year
pilot
with
recalibration
at
the
end
of
two
years
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Manuel
Esquivel
to
provide
you
with
the
details.
B
Thank
You
Todd
so
before
we
dive
into
the
details
of
the
policy,
I
want
to
show
a
little
bit
the
why
of
this
project.
Recent
storm
events
show
that
we
need
to
be
better
prepared
for
our
flooding
events
in
the
city.
We
also
want
to
be
better
prepared
for
potential
power
outages
during
weather
events.
The
business-as-usual
way
of
constructing
and
maintaining
utilities
result
in
repetitive
Street
openings
that
are
very
inefficient
and
disrupt
our
neighborhoods,
the
residents
and
local
businesses.
B
If
you
look
down
into
one
of
these,
three
openings
you'll
also
see
a
chaos
that
misses
the
social
way
of
utility.
Construction
has
created,
there's
more
than
we
need
to
do
to
solve
the
transportation
problems
in
the
city
and
there's
also
a
few
pilot
projects
with
smart,
smart
sensors
and
smart
technologies
that
are
going
to
give
us
a
lot
of
good
data
to
deploy
smart
technologies
more
widely.
B
We
want
to
get
the
city
ready
so
that,
when
we're
ready
to
deploy
this
technology,
we
can
just
plug
it
in
also
smart
agility
infrastructure
is
contemplated
and
already
adopted,
planned
citywide
plans.
Imagine
Boston
2030,
for
example,
talks
about
district
energy
micro
grids
for
to
provide
resiliency
and
equity
in
our
neighborhoods
Brazilian
Boston
talks
about
green
infrastructure
also
for
resiliency
and
as
an
important
source
of
new
jobs.
So
the
Boston
smart
utilities
vision
is
an
interdepartmental
project
led
by
BPA,
together
with
seven
other
departments.
It
includes
seven
other
departments.
B
It
provides
a
new
model
for
integrated
planning
and
utility
construction,
the
planning
design,
construction,
maintenance
of
utilities,
and
it
encourages
the
deployment
of
smart
utility
technologies
across
four
sectors:
energy,
water,
transportation
and
telecommunications,
and
the
goals
are
to
increase
efficiency
in
the
utility,
construction
and
maintenance
increase
equity
by
decreasing
the
cost
of
utility
services
to
the
end
customers.
We
also
want
to
harden
our
infrastructure
against
weather
events.
B
The
process
has
been
going
on
for
two
years
and
it
can
be
split
into
two
and
the
analysis
phase
and
the
policy
development
phase.
All
along
this.
This
process
we
have
done
extensive
stakeholder
engagement
with
utilities,
with
technical
experts
with
city
staff
and,
very
importantly,
with
developers.
We've
we've
talked
to
18
developers
who
do
business.
Often
in
the
city
of
Boston.
B
Analysis
phase
resulted
in
two
work
products
once
the
business-as-usual
report
that
looks
at
the
baseline
of
the
baseline
of
doing
construction
in
the
city
of
Boston
in
a
business
as
usual
manner
and
a
cost-benefit
analysis
report
that
looks
at
the
costs
and
benefits
of
ten
smart
utility
technologies
in
comparison
to
the
baseline.
These
two
reports
are
based
on
the
development
area
in
plan
F
and
the
cost
and
benefit
analysis
looked
at
ten
smart
utility
technologies.
B
Now,
after
this
work
and
through
the
stakeholder
engagement
and
the
work
done
by
the
steering
committee,
there's
two
implementation
tools,
two
recommendations:
one
is
the
smart
agility
standards,
which
is
like
a
mini
Complete
Streets,
but
for
the
underground.
The
second
one,
which
is
the
one
we'll
bring
in
today
before
the
board
for
adoption,
is
the
smart
activities
policy
for
article
80
development
review,
and
this
policy
looks
at
five
of
the
ten
technologies
that
were
studied
during
the
during
the
project.
B
B
Very.
We
looked
at
it
very
carefully
to
see
what
is
technically
and
financially
feasible
for
the
city.
I'm
gonna
take
some
time
to
describe
each
of
these
technologies
quickly.
The
first
was
district
energy
micro
grid.
This
is
an
energy
system
for
clusters
of
buildings,
it
generates
electricity,
on-site
and
it
uses
the
excess
heat
of
that
process
to
provide
useful
heating
and
cooling
to
to
the
buildings.
In
that
cluster.
B
It
reduces
the
capital
and
onm
costs
by
substituting
the
the
boilers
and
chillers
in
each
individual
building
and
instead
having
a
more
centralized
more
centralized
system
during
normal
operations
it
uses
fuel,
it
uses
fuel
more
efficiently,
so
it
provides
energy
efficiency,
but
by
normal
operations,
I
mean
these
systems
work
together
with
the
macro
grid
during
regular
operations.
Now,
there's
also
a
very
important
benefit,
which
is
they
can
provide
resiliency
when
disconnected
from
the
macro
grid,
and
these
systems
can
disconnect
from
the
macro
grid
during
storm
events
or
other
other
other
emergency
events.
B
B
Adaptive
signal
technology
is
a
set
of
sensors
and
traffic
signals
that
communicate
with
each
other
to
improve
traffic
flow
and
safety
for
all
transportation
modes:
smart
street
lights.
This
is
when
you
mount
a
smart
sensors
or
smart
technology
onto
traditional
light
poles
and
the
telecom
utility
is
the
set
of
encased
pipes
that
consolidate
the
wires
and
the
fiber
optics
for
telecom.
This
technology
can
eliminate
the
need
for
repetitive
sweet
openings
in
the
telecom
sector
and
can
reduce
barriers
of
entry.
B
So
these
are
the
five
technologies
that
are
contemplated
in
the
policy.
This
is
a
table
that
summarizes
the
policy
that
we're
looking
to
adopt.
I'll
go
over
the
size
thresholds
for
each
of
them
and
a
few
specifications.
The
district
energy
micro
grid
will
apply
to
developments
at
1.5
million
square
feet
or
greater.
So
it's
really
large
developments.
The
way
the
policy
works
is
we're
asking
for
a
feasibility
assessment
that
will
really
look
at
economic
feasibility
of
these
systems
to
see
whether
it
makes
sense
to
move
forward
with
this
system.
B
We
will
be
reviewing
that
feasibility
assessment
with
an
district
energy
expert
on
our
on
our
site
and
once
the
feasibility
assessment
looks,
looks
feasible,
I
will
ask
for
a
master
plan
where
the
developer
will
show
the
size
of
the
systems.
What
parts
of
the
development
these
systems
will
be
included
for,
and
also
explain
how
the
system
will
relate
the
facing
of
the
system
will
relate
to
the
facing
of
the
development.
The
district
energy
micro
grids
can
be
can
be
faced
in
modules.
B
The
green
infrastructure
will
apply
to
developments
at
100,000
square
feet
or
greater,
and
here
we're
asking
to
use
green
infrastructure
to
increase
the
amount
of
rain
water
that
it's
collected.
On-Site
from
what's
currently
required
by
the
water
and
sewer
commission
from
one
inch
to
1.25
inches.
So
this
is
a
two
part
policy
use
of
green
infrastructure
to
increase
the
amount
of
rainwater
collected
adaptive
signal
technology,
that's
required
of
developments,
installing
new
traffic
signals
or
making
significant
improvements
to
the
traffic
signals,
and
there
we're
asking
for
the
full
system
and
and
related
components.
B
Smart
street
lights,
similar
to
adaptive
signal
technology,
will
apply
to
those
developments,
making
new
installations
of
light
poles
or
significant
improvements
to
light
poles,
and
there
we're
asking
for
to
provide
extra
electrical
connections
in
fiber
optics
at
the
light
pole,
we're
not
asking
for
any
smart
technology
or
smart
sensors.
Yet
to
it
is
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
reviewing
the
data
for
the
pilot
projects
that
are
undergoing.
B
We
just
want
to
get
the
city
ready
to
be
able
to
plug
in
one
way
when
we're
ready
unless
the
telecom
utila
door
applies
to
1.5
million
square
feet
or
greater
or
developments
constructed
roadways
of
half
a
mile
in
length,
and
then
there
we're
asking
to
install
the
full
telecommunications
utility
dust
for
completion.
This
is
other
tool
for
implementation,
as
particularly
standards.
It's
like
a
mini
Complete
Streets
for
the
underground
set
of
diagrams
and
how
to
properly
install
the
infrastructure
needed,
and
a
quick
note
on
implementation.
B
Tad
alluded
to
the
fact
that
this
we're
rolling
this
out
as
a
2
year
pilot,
the
steering
committee
will
continue
to
meet
and
see
how
the
project
that
to
oversee
the
implementation
of
the
project
at
the
end
of
the
two
years,
will
get
together
and
look
at
the
size
thresholds
and
also
the
technologies
that
are
contemplated
in
the
policy
through
the
consultation
with
developers
and
the
sessions
we
had
with
them.
There
were
two
main
items
that
came
up:
one
is
the
need
for
assistance
to
explore
financing
and
ownership
structures
for
these
systems.
B
These
systems
are
common
in
campus
settings,
universities,
hospitals,
military
bases.
There
is
a
reality
of
a
challenge
for
the
developer,
the
private
developer
sector.
So
we
want
to
work
to
to
provide
some
of
this
to
some
of
this
work
and
look
into
the
financing
and
ownership
structures.
There
was
also
an
ask
to
look
at
the
assistance
in
coordination
with
the
utilities,
so
actually
items
for
implementation
will
create
a
working
group
for
to
look
into
financing
and
ownership
structures
and
will
also
convene
sessions
with
the
utilities
and
developers
as
needed.
N
We
have
been
working
with
developers
who,
over
the
last
nine
months
who
we
know
have
projects.
For
example,
we've
been
working
with
hym
on
the
Suffolk
Downs
project,
we've
been
working
on
the
South
End
exchange
project,
and
so
there
are
other
projects
already
in
the
door
not
yet
approved.
That
will
be
subject
to
this
and.
E
I
Yeah
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
think
this
is.
This
is
awesome.
This
is
a
worthy
investment.
I
know
it's
difficult
to
work,
cross
functionally
and
any
organization
I'm
sure
government
included.
So
so
please
keep
up
the
great
work
and,
if
there's
anything
that
we
as
a
board
can
do
to
assist
you
in
that
I
would
like
to
see
in
future
memos
as
you're
partnering
with
with
developers
of
certain
projects
and
having
them.
You
know
be
contributing
to
moving
this
type
of
investment
forward.
I
A
I
C
P
Afternoon,
members
of
the
board,
mr.
chairman
secretary
Polhemus,
today
I'm
here
to
request
for
permission
to
advertise
an
issue:
an
RFP
for
design
services
for
the
design
of
a
new
park
on
central
artery
parcel
two,
as
well
as
ask
for
authorization
to
enter
into
an
MOA
or
MOU,
with
the
Massachusetts
Department
of
Transportation
for
the
park's
design
and
construction
process.
This
process
will
be
a
joint
planning
effort
between
the
BP,
DA's
planning,
department
and
mascot
as
part
of
the
joint
development
protocol
originally
established
during
the
planning
of
the
central
artery
tunnel
project.
P
Central
artery
parcel
two,
as
you
can
see
on
the
slide
here.
It's
that
triangle.
That's
within
the
yellow
circle.
It's
a
5,000
square
foot
parcel
on
the
edge
of
the
bullfinch
triangle.
It's
bounded
by
North,
Washington,
Street,
beverly,
street
and
Valente
way.
Three
development
projects
over
the
past
several
years
related
bills,
the
Beverly
Boston
Properties
hub
on
Causeway
and
lime
acts,
88,
North,
Washington,
Street,
Hotel
project
have
all
collaboratively,
are
collectively,
contributed
over
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
or
committed
to
contributing
that
much
for
the
design
and
construction
of
a
park
on
this
parcel.
H
H
H
A
Q
Afternoon,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board
secretary
Palmas,
thank
you
for
your
time.
My
name
is
Matt
Moran
I'm,
a
senior
transportation
planner
here
with
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency
I'm
joining
you
today
to
ask
for
permission
to
advertise
a
request
for
proposal
for
the
Seaport
transit
strategic
plan.
As
you
are
well
aware,
Boston
is
currently
undergoing
the
largest
development
boom
in
the
city's
history.
Perhaps
more
than
any
other
neighborhood,
the
Seaport
is
seeing
the
most
significant
changes
to
its
built
environments.
Q
These
changes
bring
with
them
new
opportunities
such
as
office
space
for
the
season,
port
technology
companies,
residential
units
for
a
growing
population
and
cultural
space.
For
some
of
our
great
institutions.
However,
growth
in
the
Seaport
has
also
led
to
challenges
with
access,
particularly
on
the
transit
networks.
These
transit
challenges
are
being
felt
in
terms
of
capacity
existing
services
like
the
Silver,
Line,
MBTA
buses
and
shuttle
routes,
and
also
there
are
still
parts
of
the
city
that
lack
direct
access
to
the
Seaport,
such
as
commuters
coming
from
North
Station.
Q
This
transit
challenge
is
not
going
to
no
stew
either.
Our
city's
transportation
staff
have
been
pushed
by
the
community
stakeholders,
elected
officials
and
it's
very
board
to
come
up
with
solutions
for
transportation
in
the
Seaport,
and
there
have
been
several
recent
examples
of
government
agencies
and
in
the
private
sector,
proposing
solutions
familiar
ating.
This
situation,
therefore,
to
respond
to
this
in
a
coordinated
way,
we're
proposing
the
Seaport
Transit
strategic
plan.
Q
The
mission
of
the
plan
is
to
study
the
key
transit
connections
to
and
within
the
Seaport,
and
recommend
projects
can
be
phased
in
over
both
the
short
term
and
long
term.
This
analysis
will
take
a
deep
dive
into
both
key
transit
proposals
currently
out
there
and
understand
areas
that
are
lacking
now.
So
first,
we
will
update
and
build
upon
existing
planning
efforts,
such
as
the
South
Boston
waterfront,
sustainable
transportation
plan
and
go
Boston
2030.
Q
Next,
we
will
use
this
analysis
to
confirm,
modify
or
deny
the
validity
of
these
concepts.
We
will
also
explore
new
transit
opportunities,
such
as
bus
and
shuttle
connections
that
currently
did
not
exist,
and
all
this
will
be
done
in
close
collaboration
with
partner
agencies,
stakeholders
and
the
community.
It
should
be
noted
that
BTD
Wilco
managed
the
study
with
our
agency,
and
we
will
work
closely
with
the
MBTA
on
their
efforts
to
analyze,
Silverline
capacity.
Q
The
outcome
of
the
study
will
be
an
action
plan
for
advancing
key
transit
projects
in
the
Seaport
District.
This
will
include
a
revised
understanding
of
key
desire
lines
such
as
the
Seaport
connections
to
the
North
Station,
a
priority
list
of
projects
and
improvements
for
immediate
and
long-term
implementation,
with
realistic
design
and
funding
mechanisms,
the
creation
of
a
menu
of
options
for
city
and
state
agencies
to
utilize
when
determining
mitigation
for
development
projects
and
conceptual
planning
level
designs
for
key
transit
improvements.
Q
This
study
is
expected
to
take
about
nine
months
from
kickoff
as
being
funded
through
development
mitigation
received
through
the
Seaport
Square
notice
of
project
change.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
of
consideration.
I
would
appreciate
an
affirmative
vote
on,
for
this
permission
to
advertise
and
person
to
advertise
this
important
transportation
study
and
now
available
for
any
questions.
A
Q
So
we
would
once
funding
arrives
from
the
developer.
We
would
issue
the
RFP
that
would
take
about
a
month
a
month
and
a
half,
and
then
we
would
look
for.
We
come
back
to
this
board,
for
you
know
an
agreement
on
the
consult
on
the
shows
and
consultant
on
the
staffs
recommendation
for
the
consultants,
and
then
that
would
be
when
we
would
kick
off
the
study
once
the
board
gives
authorization
for
this
selected
consultants.
So.
E
Q
C
Q
Q
So
we're
gonna
build
on
that
study
with
a
particular
focus
on
transit,
so
there
were
sort
of
higher
level
transit
recommendations
made
in
that
study,
and
what
we
want
to
do
with
this
is
like
take
a
deeper
dive
into
a
lot
of
those
recommendations
that
were
made
and
then
subsequent
to
that
there
was
also
the
go
Boston
2030,
which
again
built
off
of
the
previous
study,
but
was
sort
of
more
high-level
in
terms
of
the
entire
city
and
even
in
terms
of
the
region.
So
I
think
this.
Q
I
Just
like
to
encourage
these,
you
know
and
I
think
you
already.
You
spoke
to
it
a
little
bit
of
that
kind
of
short,
medium
to
long
term
solutions.
I
know
it
takes
a
while
to
study
and
you've
got
to
find
the
right,
the
right
ones,
but
even
any
low-hanging,
fruit,
obviously
they're.
You
know
that
it
is
a
pain
point
for
a
lot
of
residents
and
and
employees
who
work
and
those.
I
Equally,
though,
like
employers
who
you
know
commercial
businesses
right
that
worked
there,
I
would
anticipate
I'd,
be
curious
to
see
what
kind
of
from
a
funding
perspective,
how
you
can
really
leverage
that
public-private
partnership.
Given
the
benefits
that
a
lot
of
you
know
really
successful
organizations
in
the
Seaport
will
benefit
from
this
investment
as
well.
So
it's.
Q
So
we
will
certainly
be
coordinating
closely
with
mascot
who
is
running
the
north
stationed
north/south
rail
link.
Study
I,
would
see
this
as
being
a
bit
outside
of
the
scope
of
that
study.
I.
Think
that
what
we're
looking
for
are,
you
know,
low-hanging
fruit
in
the
short
term
and
then
the
longer
term
items
that
can
really
help.
Q
Ameliorate,
the
issue
in
the
Seaport
District
itself,
where
the
north-south
relic
is
a
downtown
focused
connection,
will
certainly
be
coordinating
with
that,
as
we
will
with
other
state
and
city
initiatives
that
it
serve,
are
at
the
periphery
of
this
area.
But
yeah
answer
your
question.
I
would
say
that's
sort
of
more
of
a
separate
project.
C
So,
looking
ahead
to
other
sections
of
the
city
that
are
facing,
I
know
we're
about
to
discuss
Brighton,
but
are
we
going
to
be
doing
other
deep
dot?
What
other
neighborhoods
need
a
deep
dive
transit
plan
that
don't
currently
we
aren't
currently
doing
it
in
and
when
are
we
going
to
be
doing
it?
Do
you
know
I
mean
are
looking
at
the
rest
of
the
city?
Q
N
I
want
I
want
to
say
that,
in
answer
to
your
question,
we're
working
with
the
planning
team
on
transportation
plan
right
now
for
the
Jaypee
Rocks
neighborhood,
as
part
of
all
the
other
new
planning
initiatives
that
that
will
be
launching
in
East,
Boston
and
Newmarket
and
other
parts
of
the
city.
All
of
those
will
include
a
TransAm
planning
study.
N
N
Chairman
Burke
members
of
the
board
we're
going
to
be
recommending
that
the
director
advertise
an
issue,
an
RFP,
to
prepare
a
mobility
study
for
the
Austin
Brighton
neighborhood
in
the
last
few
years,
as
in
other
neighbors
in
the
city,
the
Austin
Brighton
neighborhood
has
seen
significant
amounts
of
new
development,
while
vital
for
providing
jobs
and
much-needed
housing.
This
growth
can
create
a
strain
on
the
transportation
network.
N
As
always,
we
will
do
this
in
collaboration
with
our
partners
at
the
Boston
Transportation,
Department
and
state
transportation
agencies
we'll
be
issuing
the
RFP
in
July,
and
we
would
expect
to
come
back
to
the
board
with
a
recommended
consultant
by
September.
The
study
will
take
approximately
one
year
to
pleat
to
complete
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
E
N
There
are
a
number
one
of
one
of
the
things
that
I
mentioned
to
yours,
that
we'll
be
looking
at
all
existing
land
use
and
transportation
plans.
So
the
Alston
I-90
interchange
project,
which
is
the
project
that
includes
a
new
station
at
West,
Station
and
connections
to
commuter
rail,
will
be
part
of
the
existing
conditions
landscape
that
we
include
in
the
background
section
of
this,
so
that'll
all
be
included
in
this
study.
A
Item
number
ten
requests
authorization
to
accept
a
two
hundred,
fifty
thousand
dollar
grant
from
the
Massachusetts
executive,
Office
of
Energy
and
Environmental
Affairs,
and
to
enter
into
a
grant
agreement
and
to
advertise
an
issue.
A
request
for
proposals
for
the
development
of
a
flood,
resiliency
overlay
district
and
resiliency
guidelines,
design.
R
Great
thank
you.
Thank
You.
Mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board
executive
secretary
Polhemus,
this
past
May,
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency,
in
coordination
with
the
city
of
Boston's,
Environment
Department
was
awarded
a
250
thousand
dollar
grant
from
the
Mass
Executive
Office
of
Energy
and
Environmental
Affairs
municipal
vulnerability,
preparedness
program
to
assist
in
the
development
zoning
recommendations
for
a
flood,
resiliency
overlay
district
and
flood
resiliency
design,
guidelines
for
new
construction
and
building
retrofits.
This
project
will
function
to
further
implement
the
city
of
Boston's
climate
ready,
Boston
report,
which
was
issued
in
2016.
R
This
report
serves
as
really
the
city's
strategic
master
plan
for
addressing
the
types
of
hazards
and
vulnerabilities
Siddalee
B
city
will
be
facing
with
a
changing
climate.
The
implementation
section
of
the
climate
ready
report
specifically
called
on
the
BP
da
to
explore
the
development
of
a
future
flood
hazard
area,
zoning
overlay
and
methods
to
promote
building
development,
resilience
for
future
flooding
events.
The
technical
analysis
of
future
sea
level
rise
vulnerability,
developed
through
this
climate
ready
report
and
more
recent
waterfront
district
scale.
R
Efforts
has
provided
the
city
with
really
a
sound
understanding
of
the
scope
and
scale
of
future
flood
hazards
and
risks.
This
is
just
a
rendering
from
a
report
that
came
out
more
recently.
We're
focused
on
the
East
Boston
waterfront,
representing
areas
could
be
ended,
inundated
with
up
to
three
feet
of
sea
level
rise,
which
is
what
we're
expecting
by
around
2070.
R
This
data
and
mapping
has
already
been
utilized
to
update
the
BP
bas
climate
resiliency
checklist,
which
was
updated
last
year
and
established
40
inches
of
sea-level
rise
as
the
designed
atom
that
development
projects
must
address
as
part
of
the
article
80
development
review
process.
This
is
a
shot
from
our
sea
level
rise,
flood
hazard
map,
which
is
active
and
online
project.
Proponents
can
go
to
this
site,
determine
if
they're,
in
or
outside
of
these
zones
and
get
a
better
understanding
of
their
their
flood
risk
in
through
the
future.
R
Although
the
checklist
is
an
important
tool
for
promoting
resilience
and
adaptive
measures
with
new
development,
current
zoning
really
does
not
address
any
specific
requirements
for
preparing
for
future
climate
conditions.
This
project
will
establish
recommendations
to
revise
the
zoning
code
to
incorporate
the
extents
and
heights
of
future
flooding,
ensure
dimensional
and
use
standards
for
new
construction
and
retrofits,
promote
climate
readiness
and
encourage
quality,
streetscape
and
public
realm.
R
A
company
accompanying
design
guidelines
will
address
the
design,
measures
and
practices
that
will
need
to
be
implemented
for
a
number
of
building
typology
z'
within
the
overlay
district
to
reduce
risks
and
structural
damage
from
future
flood
events.
This
is
just
a
great
reference
from
New
York's
retrofitting
building
for
flood
risk
guidelines.
I
think
it's
a
great
starting
point
for
us
in
this
process.
Again,
looking
at
the
types
of
performance
standards,
design
interventions,
we
can
be
implementing
to
promote
resiliency.
R
This
project
will
involve
public
meetings
in
affected
neighborhoods
to
assist
in
the
development
of
the
recommendations
and
guidelines.
These
tools
will
better
prepare
Boston's
homes,
businesses
and
cultural
institutions
for
changing
climate
conditions
and
protect
Boston's
waterfront
neighborhoods
from
coastal
flooding
impacts
with
future
sea
level
rise.
Next
steps
would
involve
issuance
of
an
RFP.
We
would
be
back
before
the
board
with
a
selected
consultant
to
enter
into
a
contract.
We
anticipate
the
time
period
for
this
project
running
around
nine
or
ten
months
and
would
need
to
be
completed
by
June
30th
of
next
year.
E
R
There's
a
lot
of
information
sharing
amongst
cities
and
and
this
grant
program
Boston
was
one
of
I
think
40
recipients
through
these
state
funds.
So
the
state
is
very
much
focused
on
promoting
on
the
local
level,
advancement
of
vulnerability
and
preparedness
plans
and
also
funds
for
for
implementation,
so
Boston
recovering
zoning
and
these
guidelines
here,
other
cities
and
towns
are
working
on
several
other
projects
and
the
whole
intent
is
that
there
be
information
sharing
through
this
grant
program.
So
findings
in
Fermi
and
guidelines
that
we
developed
will
be
shared
through
other
towns
and
cities.
R
So
we're
talking
about
high
high
tide
events
once
twice
a
month
that
could
be
flooding
certain
areas.
These
major
inundation
areas
that
you
see
with
a
lot
of
this
mapping
is
really
associated
with
a
hundred
year,
storm
event
a
major
storm
event,
and
we
could
be
seeing
areas
with
with
9
inches
of
sea
level
rise
by
2030
2040
that
are
fairly
significant
and
even
greater
as
we
look
at
potentially
21
inches
by
2050
and
that
40
inches
by
by
2070
and
all
of
this
information-
and
you
know,
data.
R
It's
always
evolving,
so
an
important
aspect
of
climate
ready
is
that
every
four
or
five
years
are
going
to
be
relooking
at
the
data.
The
science,
the
modeling
to
make
sure
we're
on
we're
on
track
on
that.
But
the
climate
ready,
Boston
report,
vulnerability
assessment
has
a
lot
of
great
information.
I'd,
be
happy
to
to
provide
that
to
you
to
get
a
better
assessment
as
to
what
these
risks
and
hazards
are
and
when
we
can
expect
these
levels
of
inundation.
But.
C
R
You've
got
these
major
flood
events
and
then
tidal
flooding
as
well,
which
is
a
more
chronic
condition
that
we
can
be
so
really.
The
the
long-term
strategy
is
to
really
look
at
Shoreline
district
scale,
protective
measures
that
we
can
be
putting
into
place
and
a
number
of
our
vulnerable
waterfront
communities.
We've
been
working
with
the
Environment
Department
more
focused
on
East
Boston
Charlestown.
R
With
a
report
that
came
out
last
year,
a
report

That's

The

a
joint

originally

For
this

as
well
as
the

This

was
the
sole
respondent
for
the
RFP
for
the
parcel,
which
was
to
April

again
they're,
proposing
to

Eight

finalizing
their

and
obtain
financing
with
the
goal
of
commencing

by

early

I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
request
that
you
please
vote

Okay,.
A
S
S
Thank
You
mr.

I'm
requesting

I'll
refer
to

number
mass
R

It's
an
approximately
4,000
692
square
foot
parcel.
S
We
issued
an
RFP
for
it
on
December
21st
of
2017,
with
freeze
bounces
to
February
1st
2018
and
based
upon
feedback
received
during
our
community
process.
The
development
guidelines
in
the
RFP
sought
the
development
of
a
community
community
center
or
a
mixed
use
of
community
space
and
housing.
We
received
two
proposals
in
response
to
the
RFP
one
from
TDC
and
one
from
Boston
real
estate
collaborative
LLC,
based
upon
the
selection
criteria
of
their
RFP
TDC,
was
determined
to
be
the
most
highly
advantageous
proponent.
S
In
addition,
the
BPD
a
held
a
developer's
presentation,
community
meeting
on
April
10th
2018
at
the
Boston
Water
and
Sewer
headquarters,
and
a
great
deal
of
the
support
expressed
at
this
meeting
and
overwhelmingly
support
that
we
received
during
the
subsequent
two
and
a
half
week
comment
period.
Favored,
the
selection
of
tenants,
Development
Corporation
for
the
development
of
this
parcel
established
in
1968
TDC
has
a
nonprofit
tax-exempt
corporation
is
one
of
the
oldest
minority
developers
and
advocates
for
affordable
housing
in
Boston.
S
Their
portfolio
of
approximately
350,
affordable
rental
units
is
located
in
the
south
end
and
lower
Roxbury
neighborhoods
of
Boston.
The
community
center
development
that
TDC
is
proposing
is
approximately
twenty
thousand
five
hundred
and
thirteen
square
feet
with
four
storeys
above
grade
and
a
full
basement,
including
a
gymnasium.
S
Here's,
a
rendering
computer
lab
food,
pantry
commercial
kitchen,
community
dining
area
and
youth
programming
space.
The
two
top
floors
will
be
TDC
offices
and
administrative
space
for
the
building's
operations
and
programming.
Tdc
programs
and
services
are
geared
towards
personal
growth,
empowerment
and
Richmond
of
youth
through
seniors
in
the
community.
The
total
development
cost
of
the
project
is
projected
to
be
approximately
nine
point:
nine
million
dollars
we
funded
by
a
construction
loan,
new
market
tax
credits
and
a
capital
campaign.
S
The
development
team
consisted
of
Davis
square
architects,
Delphi
construction,
Kline,
Horning
attorneys
and
development,
consultants,
Robert
Goldstein
and
chair
and
Lowenthal.
So
as
a
result
of
the
foregoing,
we
recommend
that
the
board
grant
tentative
designation
status
to
tenants,
Development
Corporation
TDC.
C
S
D
If
I
could
just
quickly
answer
the
question,
John
Tobin,
who
I
think
many
on
the
board
know,
is
the
vice
president
of
a
city
in
University
Relations.
Mr.
Tobin
has
acknowledged
and
made
the
offer
through
my
office
of
25
parking
spaces
at
the
Renaissance
parking,
a
facility
located
on
Columbus
Avenue.
Those
will
be
for
Sunday
services
for
up
to
25
spaces
from
10
a.m.
to
2
p.m.
and
they
will
be
done
at
no
cost
to
the
members
of
people's
Baptist
Church.
That
will
also
be
for
special
events
and
funerals
and
the
like.
D
D
We
have
certainly
made
every
attempt
to
keep
the
church
informed.
All
the
public
meetings
were
held
at
the
church.
There
was
wide
scale
public
notification.
We
would
like
to
move
the
the
project
ahead.
We
think
the
fact
that
there
are
these
spaces
being
made
available
at
no
cost
will
be
helpful.
We've
also
had
some
indications
from
at
TDC
that
if
this
moves
ahead,
they
would
certainly
work
with
people's
Baptist's
to
identify
additional
parking
spaces
on
the
site.

This

Ok,.
A
D
You,
mr.
chairman,
this
item
requests
the
board's
authorization
for
the
director
to
execute
an
amended
license
agreement
with
the
courageous
alien
center
of
Boston.
Ink
that
amended
license
agreement
would
extend
the
term
for
one
year
from
August
1st
2018
through
August
1st
2019,
to
permit
the
continued
use
of
a
portion
of
BRE
own
land
located
at
pier
4
in
the
ciaochao
Navy
Yard
for
a
youth
sailing
program.
Sailing
centre
was
established
in
1987
and
has
been
in
the
Navy
odd.
D
Since
the
early
1990s,
the
center
is
established
as
a
501
C

public
charity,
with
a
goal
of
affording
every
child
of
Boston
with
the
opportunity
to
learn
the
sport
of
sailing
free
of
charge.
The
center
serves
approximately
1,500
youth
each
year.
The
proposed
license
agreement
has
a
license
fee
of
$1.00
per
year
and
provides
that
the
center
indemnify
and
protect
the
BRE
against
any
liability
associated
with
the
use
of
the
pier
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
board
might
have.
At
this
point.
A
H
D
Thompson

Center
has
offered
to
invest
in
the
revitalization
of
the
pier
as
a
first
step
towards
a
long
term.
A
license.
This
board
has
has
authorized
the
issue,
the
issuance
of
an
RFP
for
a
longer-term
agreement,
not
to
give
a
long
answer
to
a
short
question,
but
I
think
what
happens
with
the
Thompson
Island
will
serve
as
a
basis
to
to
try
to
do
the
same
thing
with
a
sailing
Center
over
in
the
navy
yark.
That
is,
we
try
to
stay
away
from
longer
term
license
agreements
over
the
future.
A
D
You,
mr.

the

seeking

of

a

approximately
3,300
Square
feet
located
at
516
R
522
Main

Since
that

it
has
been
determined
that
the
adjacent
BR,
a
owned
parcel
of
land,
which
is
approximately
2,800
square
feet,
should
also
have
been
included
in
that

since
it
provides
access
and

to
the
other
parcel.
D
A

for
the
development
of
the

Forge
building
in

into

in

and
an

of

to

U
Since
the
last
board
meeting
the
extensive

massive
chain
forging
equipment
has
been
auctioned
off
and
is
currently
being
removed,
the
equipment
that
will
remain
on

for
its
historical
significance
as
part
of
the
the
hotel
having
toured
the
building
more
than
once
myself
I
can
attest
that
no
noticeable
demolition
or
construction
could
take
place
until
the
equipment
was
removed.
Some
of
it
is
it's
large
as
this
room
and
there's
only
several
feet
in
between
the
the
equipment.
So
it
really
needs
to
be
removed.
U
So
we're
requesting
a
further
amendment
to
the
ground
lease
to
allow
the
developer
to
finalize
financing
and
obtain

permits
by

managing
member
LLC
in
December
2017.
The
board
authorized
the
transfer
of
60%
of
the
ownership
of
the
managing
member
to
a
new
partner,
Boston

LLC.
The
lease
was
fully
executed
in
December
of
2017.
The

required
that
both
financing
and
building
permits
would
be

U
The
board
authorized
an
amendment
to
the
lease
to
extend
the
deadlines
to
allow
the
new
team
more
time
to
finalize
the
terms
and
conditions
of
the
operating
agreement
between
the
partners
and
to
finalize
financing
for
the
project.
The
team
was
unable
to
agree
upon
terms
and
conditions
of
the
operating
agreement
and
have
amicably
parted
ways.
U
Mandis
remember
has
interviewed
several
potential

U
We
fully
expect
that
they'll
be
able
to

this
challenging
development.
We're
crossing
permission
to

to
amend
the

Lang
go
and
park
in
the
north
end
is
owned
and
maintained
by
the
Boston
Parks
Recreation
Department
last
fall.
A
portion
of
the
of
the
bulkhead
at
Lancome
parks
suffered
a
structural
failure
that
required
parks
to
initiate
emergency
procedures
to
secure
the
area.
In
order
to
proceed
with
and
to
expedite
these
emergency
repairs
parks
requested
the
use
of
be
PDAs
existing.
D
How
start
to
contract
with
with
a
pear
corporation
as
part
of
this
proposed,
MOA
parks
will
be
ultimately
responsible
for
all
costs
associated
with
the
project.
With
those
costs
not
expected
to
exceed,
$80,000
funding
will
be
transferred
to
the
BPD,
a
upon
approval
of
invoices
submitted
by
parks
to
the

a
so
essentially,
this
agency
will
be
reimbursed
for
all

incurred
on
behalf
of
parks
by
the

as
a
means
of
assisting
these
emergency
repairs.
D
Funds
received
from
the
park
department
through
the
proposed
mo
MOA
will
then
be
utilized
to
replenish
the
existing
house
doctor
budget.
It
is
therefore
the
staffs
recommendation
that
the
director
be
authorized
to
enter
into
a
memorandum
of

W
Afternoon,
Shaymin
Burke
members
of
the
board
director
golden
Madam
Secretary.
This
miscue
mixed-use
developments
is
in
South,
Boston's
Andrew
square.
The
project
site
is
also
located
in
that
plan.
South
Boston,
Dorchester
study
to
'trust
Avenue
study
area
and
it's
complying
with
that
study.
The
proponents
of
603
Dorchester
Avenue
is
2-6
Boston,
Street,
LLC,
otherwise
known
as
Christopher
Roche
and
Thomas
FAL
kuchi.
They
filed
an
article,
any
application
on
April
17th
and
the
karma
parry
concluded
on
May
25th.
W
The
proposal
was
well
received
by
the
community
and
this
development
team
began
their
outreach
in
the
community
last
summer
and
it
was
overwhelmingly
supported
by
people
in
the
neighborhood
the
big
thing
with
the
communities.
They
really
liked.
The
idea
that
this
project,
this
commercial
component
is
going
to
bring
a
new
restaurant
into
this
neighborhood
now
they're,
really
looking
forward
to
that.
The
proposed
project
is
also
supported
by
the
English
square,
Civic
Association,
as
well
as
City
Council
of
Frank
Baker.
Now
I'd
like
to
introduce
George
Murray.
O
Thank
you
John
good
afternoon
of
chairman
Burke,
director
golden
secretary
police
board
members.
This,
as
John
said,
is
a
project
that
has
been
extremely
popular
in
the
community.
Also,
as
John
said,
the
priority
here
for
residents
in
this
neighborhood
of
Andrews
Square
has
been
an
activation
of
the
site
with
with
a
ground-floor
restaurant,
it's
located
in
the
growth
zone.
It's
in
a
60
foot
density,
bonus,
height
area
and
also
in
an
area
where
ground
floor,
commercial
use
is
preferred.
O
It's
a
site
that
is,
does
not
lend
itself
to
ground-floor
parking
from
either
Boston
Street
or
Dorchester
Avenue,
just
because
of
the
busyness
of
Andrew
Square
and
the
site,
which
dovetail
nicely
with
the
fact
that
the
community
didn't
want
to
see
an
inactive
parking
use
on
the
ground
floor.
They
wanted
a
restaurant.
My
client
is
giving
them
a
restaurant,
as
John
said,
it
complies
with
all
of
the
requirements
of
the
groats
own
guidelines
approved
by
this
board.
O
It
is
within
a
couple
hundred
feet
of
Andrew
Square
Red
Line
station,
which
means
that
it's
a
true
transit,
oriented
development
and
again,
as
John
said,
it
enjoys
overwhelming
support
and
has
enjoyed
overwhelming
support
throughout
the
community
process.
Unless
there
is
a
question
on
zoning,
a
process
I
would
turn
this
right
over
to
David
freed
from
Chiu
and
Company,
architects
and
David
will
go
through
the
urban
design
presentation.
X
X
X
X
This
floor
plan
just
illustrates
that
there
will
be
an
eight
hundred
and
forty
square
feet
square
foot
amenity
space
for
the
residents
of
the
building.
The
programming
has
yet
to
be
determined.
It
could
be
a
fitness
room
if
that
will
be
worked
out
as
we
go
forward.
That's
a
view
of
the
front
elevation.
The
building
will
be
will
be
a
brick
building
with
aluminum
windows
and
metal
trim.
X
I
A
question
so
so
we
consistently
will
will
receive
opposition
letters
on
buildings
that
have
no
parking
on
site
now,
with
transit,
so
close,
and
they
use
of
rideshare
I
mean
I,
think
it
makes
sense
right
to
me.
But
how
do
you
respond
to
others?
That
kind
of
don't
see
it
that
way,
and
you
know
think
that
this
is
adding.
You
know
adding
more
units
and
condo
owners
are
just
going
to
bring
an
already
more
congestion
or
or
lack
of
parking
in
the
neighborhood.
How
do
you
it's.
O
Interesting
because
that's
probably
the
only
objection
which
is
kind
of
unique
for
a
project
of
this
size
and
the
scope
in
such
a
Senate,
sensitive
area,
so
I
think
that's
actually
testament
to
the
quality
of
the
project
and
the
amount
of
support
it
does
enjoy.
The
response
to
that
is
a
couple
fold
at
least
number
one.
The
the
Dorchester
Avenue
study
plan
has
a
preferred
parking
ratio
between
zero
and
one.
O
So
we're,
certainly
within
that
we're
at
the
zero,
the
zero
end
of
it,
but
there's
probably
going
to
be
no
other
development
site
within
the
study
zone.
With
this
closer
proximity
to
a
rapid
transit
station
which
which
we
have
here,
you
could
literally
throw
a
you,
know
a
baseball
and
hit
the
Andruw
station.
O
Also,
it's
a
sight
that
again,
almost
uniquely
in
the
area,
is
entirely
ill-disposed
to
having
any
curb
cut,
whether
on
Boston
Street
or
on
Dorchester
Avenue,
providing
ingress
to
an
egress
from
the
site,
because
this
is
statistically
one
of
the
busiest
intersections
in
the
Commonwealth.
Not
simply
the
city,
so
I
think
that
introducing
I
mean
traffic
into
or
out
of
the
site
from
either
Boston
know.
Dorchester
Avenue
would
be
enormous,
ly
problematic.
These
are
rental
units
which
I
think.
O
A
Any
further
questions
from
the
board
hearing:
none
emotions
in
order.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
eyes
have
it.
Thank
you
very
much.

A
T
Good
afternoon,
chairman
Burke,
director
golden
Madam,
Secretary
and
members
of
the
board,
the
item
before
us
afternoon
is
the
phase
3
component
of
the
hub
on
causeway
project,
formerly
known
as
the
Boston
Garden
project.
The
project
in
its
entirety
was
approved
by
the
BRE
Board
on
December
19
2013.
T
The
proposed
changes
to
the
previously
approved
office
component
include
increased
floor
to
floor
Heights
outdoor
terraces
increased
floor
plate
sizes
and
increased
in
the
maximum
tower
height
from
grade
among
other
design
changes
with
respect
to
process
the
the
proponent
submitted
our
notice
of
project
change
with
the
B
PDA
on
March,
2nd
2018,
which
initiated
a
public
comment
period
which
concluded
on
April
2nd.
During
this
timeframe,
the
B
PDA
held
and
sponsored
a
publicly
advertised
joint
impact,
advisory
group
and
community
meeting
to
review
the
proposed
revisions.
T
In
addition
to
the
article
80
process,
the
revised
project
also
underwent
extensive
review
by
the
Boston
Civic
design
commission,
where
the
project
underwent
several
revisions.
The
Boston
Civic
design
Commission
ultimately
approved
the
revised
project,
which
will
you,
which
will
be
seen
shortly
on
May
1st
2018.
At
this
time,
I
would
like
to
introduce
you
to
Giuliana
de
mom
bro
project
manager
for
Boston
Properties,
to
further
presentation.
Y
Y
This
is
a
picture
of
some
context,
and
this
is
the
project's
phase
1
&
2,
which
are
currently
under
construction.
We
have
the
East
podium
and
a
top.
That
is
where
we're
proposing
to
put
this
third
phase
the
office
tower
and
here
on,
Causeway
Street.
The
East
podium
is
over
here
on
the
east
side
of
the
hub,
which
will
be
the
new
entrance
to
North
Station
and
the
TD
Garden,
and
the
new
tower
lobbies
right
there
as
well
mentioned
we've.
Y
This
press
of
this
design
has
evolved
and
there
were
sort
of
two
main
drivers
for
this
latest
iteration.
One
was
market
demand
and
certain
programmatic
and
design
elements
that
our
customers
were
looking
for
and
the
other
was
our
desire
to
have
this
building
fit
or
knit
more
cohesively,
with
the
fabric
of
the
project
and
the
surrounding
area.
Y
So
in
working
with
the
BCDC,
we
were
before
them
four
times
we
had
to
design
workshops
with
them
at
subcommittee
and
we
have
come
up
with
what
we
think
is
a
better
tower
than
when
we
went
in
and
I
think.
It
responds
well
to
a
lot
of
the
comments.
As
Rowe
mentioned,
there
are
several
differences.
The
main
changes
that
we're
asking
for
from
the
previous
approval
relate
to
height
and
floor
plate
size,
so
going
forward
to
the
height
when
this
was
originally
approved.
Y
So
the
original
2013
design
was
five
hundred
twenty-five
thousand
square
feet
approximately
and
now
we're
at
approximately
six
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
square
feet.
That's
still
within
the
six
hundred
sixty
eight
thousand
square
feet,
that's
allowed
in
the
current
121,
a
zoning,
so
in
part
of
growing
it
we
added
two
floors.
We
also
increase
the
floor
to
floor
Heights
of
typical
floors
to
allow
for
more
flexible
space
programming
and
also
to
allow
for
a
more
efficient
and
sustainable
heating,
cooling
and
ventilation
system.
Y
We
also
added
two
floors
here
that
have
a
20-foot
florida
floor
height
to
allow
for
innovation
or
makerspace,
which
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
tenants
wanting
in
their
office
base
premises.
And,
lastly,
we
added
a
roofdeck
at
the
mechanical
level
and
a
small
amount
of
occupiable
space
adjacent
to
that
roof
deck
and,
as
a
result,
that's
now.
The
the
entire
mechanical
level
is
now
counted
as
part
of
the
occupy
Obul
space
and
therefore
our
height
has
gone
up.
Additionally.
Y
Currently
that's
around
four
ninety
four
ninety
five
square
feet,
but
given
that
were
early
in
construction
documents
and
that
height
will
be
dictated
by
the
mechanical,
were
requesting
to
be
able
to
go
up
to
five
ten
so
that
we're
not
back
before
you
for
a
small
change.
The
second
sort
of
major
change
from
or
small
change,
I
guess
from
the
original
approval
has
to
do
with
maximum
floor
plate
size.
Y
We
specifically
kept
those
to
a
lower
level
in
the
building
so
that
we
didn't
obstruct
any
of
the
view
corridors
up
on
the
higher
portions
of
the
towers
that
we
had
wanted
to
maintain.
So
just
in
conclusion,
this
is
sort
of
what
the
redesign
tower
looks
like.
This
is
a
view
looking
north
and
here's
a
view
looking
south.
So
thanks
and
I'll
take
any
questions.
Ok,.
I
It
sounds
like
you
I
like
to
hear
that
you
had
a
lot
of
workshops
and
and
spending
time
and
feel
like
you
got
a
better
building
after
spending
time
with
it
with
the
BC,
DC
and
I.
Think
they
don't
get
enough
thanks
and
praise
as
well
yeah
for
all
they
do
to
you
know
as
design
professionals.
You
know
what
they're
doing
in
in
this
space
yeah,
so
so
just
happy
to
hear
that
that
collaboration
was
so
successful.
Great.
Thank
you.
Okay,.

A
Z
Right,
thank
you
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
board
secretary
Polhemus,
we're
here
today,
requesting
the
approval
of
the
Jocelyn
InP
Amendment
and
renewal.
Jocelyn
is
seeking
to
add
a
restaurant
and
service
used
to
the
ground
floor
of
the
Joslin
Diabetes
Center
at
4:15,
Brooklyn
Avenue,
and
to
also
renew
their
I
MP
for
a
term
of
five
years
over
those
five
years.
Jocelyn
is
not
anticipating
any
proposed
institutional
projects.
Z
We
had
a
30-day
comment
period
and
received
positive
feedback
at
a
public
meeting
from
the
community
on
the
excellent
work
that
Joslin
does
every
day
and
for
the
amendment
and
renewal
before
you
today,
I
am
joined
by
Darren
Baird
from
Wilson
stores
to
provide
a
brief
presentation
and
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
AA
Thank
You
Kaitlyn
Darrin
Baird
from
ghouls
news
stores
good
evening
good
afternoon.
Mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board,
Joslin
Diabetes,
Center
and
I'm
here,
joined
tonight
by
Maria
Buckley.
The
general
counsel
of
Joslin
wanted
to
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
Joslin,
not
sure
how
familiar
folks
are
with
Jocelyn
and
what
they
do
and
what
their
mission
is.
I
mean
make
sure
I
don't
mess
up.
AA
Jocelyn's
mission
is
carried
out
in
this
one
building
on
this
one
parcel,
it's
called
4:15,
Brookline,
Avenue
I.
Guess
that's
actually
it's
assessing
address,
but
it's
also
known
as
one
Jocelyn
places.
It's
the
cool
northwest
corner
of
Joslin
place
in
Brookline
Avenue
in
the
Longwood,
Medical
and
academic
area
was
originally
constructed
in
1956
and
then
renovated
twice
in
76
and
again
in
91.
AA
It
received
its
original
iymp
approval
from
the
BR
a
in
2003,
and
then
there
was
a
2008
amendment
that
extent
extended
the
term
for
10
years
to
April
29th
of
18
and
also
removed.
What
is
now
the
Longwood
Center
site
from
the
InP
area
on
the
city
of
Boston
zoning
that
we're
here
tonight
requesting
an
extension
of
the
iymp
from
April
29th
of
2018
to
April
29th
of
2023.
AA
There
are
no
new
projects
in
the
iamp
amendment
or
renewal,
and
what
the
amendment
also
asks
for
is
to
add.
Officially
and
technically,
restaurant
and
service
uses
to
the
allowed,
as
of
right
first
floor
uses
at
the
product
at
the
property,
because
technically
right
now,
those
aren't
permitted
and
retail
is
and
sort
of
in
keeping
with
the
activation
and
desires
on
Brookline
avenue,
plus
the
patient's
needs
for
food
sources
that
are
close
by
this
is
a
use
that
makes
sense
and
sort
of
fits
with
the
neighborhood.
AA
A
AB
Chairman
members
of
the
board,
minor
Ferris,
representing
the
Carpenters
Union,
would
like
to
contract
or
support
of
this
thanks
for
coming.
Yes,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board
secretary
Polhemus
matt
brien,
going
right,
the
golden
Gary
Walker
electrician's,
looking
wants
to
speak
in
strong
support.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
AC
Bonnie,
you
may
know
them
from
their
trucks,
but
they
also
have
bricks
and
mortar
what
we
needed
for
this
site
was,
first
of
all,
as
Darin
said,
it
really
creates
a
hardship
for
our
patients,
in
particular
to
not
have
a
food
source
within
the
building,
but
we
needed
to
get
a
food
vendor
that
wasn't
doing
a
lot
of
cooking.
If
you
will
so
they're,
you
know
they're
Vietnamese
food
really
kind
of
fits
that
bill.
So
that's
the
the
tenant
that
we
believe
is
coming
in.
We
hope
that
they
come
in
in
the
fall.
Okay.
E
You
do
very
important
work,
and
it
strikes
me
that
a
restaurant
associated
with
your
mission
would
be
the
kind
of
place
that
a
lot
of
people
would
want
to
get
to
at
all
hours.
So
I
guess
I
would
encourage
you
to
continue
this
service.
Obviously,
your
workers
is
terrific
work,
but
also
the
restaurant
I
think
can
serve
a
lot
of
people
who
may
not
necessarily
only
be
your
patients
correct.

Okay,.
AE
Good
evening,
mr.
chairman,
mr.
director,
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the
board,
this
project
probably
sounds
awful
familiar
to
you,
because
we
were
here
in
the
fall
and
basically
you've
already
approved
this
project.
What
happened,
though,
is
when
we
came
before
the
board
to
repurpose
the
basement
space
we
were
advised.
Our
client
was
advised
that
the
basement
space
was
2695
square
feet,
and
so
that's
what
you
approved
when
the
architects
went
back
out
and
field
measured
after
we
obtained
your
approval
and
the
approval
of
the
Zoning
Commission.
AE
We
learned
that
the
actual
square
footage
the
exact
same
area
was
when
measured
in
the
field
was
an
additional
848
square
feet.
We
brought
that
to
the
attention
of
the
BPD
a
and
we
went
through
the
entire
process
again,
but
you've
seen
this
project
before
this
is
to
acknowledge
the
additional
848
square
feet.
That's
the
entirety
of
my
presentation.
A
A
AE
The
first
time
around
I'll
give
you
the
architect's
number,
and
you
can
call
we
don't
know.
We
asked
that
same
question.
Apparently
there
was
a
miscommunication,
but
that
was
the
information
that
Jones
Street
was
provided
provided
to
us.
We
provided
to
you.
The
only
thing
we
were
able
to
ascertain
is:
perhaps
they
didn't
actually
do
the
field
measurements
when
they
gave
us
those
numbers.
Okay,.

just
some
brief
remarks
and
background
of
the
CDC
followed

AJ
To
make
the
golden
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
James
dill
day
I'm,
the
president
of
the
CDC
of
Boston,
otherwise
known
as
the
Community
Development
Corporation
of
Boston
in
cooperation
we're
a
nonprofit
entity.
We
were
created
in
1969
as
an
outgrowth
of
the
old
model,
neighborhood
model
Cities
program,
believe
it
or
not.
Back
in
1969
I
was
just
about
to
start
law.
School
I
was
a
member
of
the
model.
AJ
It
tried
to
work
with
small
neighborhood
businesses,
mom-and-pop
stores
and
things
of
that
nature
and
made
those
types
of
investments,
and
it
has
moved
on
in
the
80s.
It
helped
to
develop
a
digital
equipment
assembly
plant
in
Roxbury
and
has
also
invested
in
the
Morgan
Memorial
good
Morgan
Memorial
goodwill
location
on
Harrison
Avenue
was
an
investor.
The
one
Lincoln
place
development
in
here
in
downtown
Boston,
and
it's
currently
an
investor
and
the
married
hotel
project
going
up
on
Magnolia
Katz
Boulevard.
Unlike
the
other
CDC's
in
Boston,
we're
not
organized
under
the
legislation.
AJ
That's
establish
the
CDC's
after
we
were
created
in
1969.
As
a
result,
we
don't
get
any
state
local
or
federal
funds.
We
don't
have
any
set
asides.
We
don't
have
any.
You
know:
tax
credits
that
come
for
the
low
income,
tax
credits,
all
of
our
money,
we've
raised
on
our
own
and
so
we're
a
little
bit
different
from
those
CDC's.
Although
we
work
with
Matt
deck
Massachusetts
Association
of
Community
Development
Corporation's,
we
are
not
a
full-fledged
member
because
we're
not
the
same
type
of
CDC
that
they
all
work
with.
AJ
We've
also
worked
with
local
community
groups
and
from
our
program,
we're
gonna,
give
$25,000
to
the
Boston
Parks
Department
to
as
part
of
the
rehabilitation
of
Jim
met.
Jim

I
have
Macon
answer
questions
for
you
after
I
turn
it
over
to
Christian

about

architectural
plan.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
AH
You

You,

project
locust
is.
We
are
right
on
Washington
Street
Ramsey
park.
Ramsey
Park
is
right
across
the
street
from
us.
This
is
the
existing
building.
Now
what
we
will
be
doing
is
taking
down
the
one-story
garage,
adding
a
six-story
addition
in
the
same
footprint
and
adding
another
two
stories
to
the
top
of
the
existing
building.
This
is
just
another
image
from
the
corner
of
Thorndike
in
Washington
Street
of
the
existing
building.
AH
Looking
from
looking
down
from
the
corner
of
from
the
corner
of
I'm,
sorry,
yes,
Washington
Street
at
Newcomb
Street,
looking
towards
a
view
from
the
top
of
the
existing
building
from
the
roof
just
down
at
the
park.
AH
Existing

So
again,
this
is
the
existing
building
here,
existing
one-story
garage,
which
will
be
going
away
for
a
six-story
addition
there
and
a
two-story
addition
on
top
of
the
existing
building
their
proposed
front
elevation.
So
again
you
can
see
the
existing
building
there.
This
is
that
new
six
story
edition
there
and
the
the
roof
is
all
the
same
height.
AH
We've
just
got
a
higher
parapet
wall
there,
as
we've
been
working
with
BPD
a
stat

to
to
make

give
it
some
nice

neighborhood
in

right
side,

along
Thorndike
Street,
the
rear
elevation,

and
then
this
is
just
a
couple
of
our
proposed
renderings
looking
down,
Washington

skin
at
the
corner
of
Washington
and
Thorndike,
and
then
we've
just
gotten
a
little
and
lodged
here.
Some

looking
up

I
AI
Right
so
the
the
meeting
was
well-received
at
the
public

at

There
were
some

who
show
who
arrived
with
some
concerns
about
the
project,
more
specifically
to
just
information
and
understanding
what
it
really
entailed.
The

then
held
a

A
AK
AK
AK
What
are
the
things
that
we
experience
when
we
first
BC
decide
is
that
Parker
is
very
narrow
and,
just
like
the
community
members
pointed
out
that
they
really
appreciate
that
open
space
as
they
go
in
between
the
buildings
right
now
with
a
vacant
land
here
is
Terrace
and
you
can
see
the
steep
site
going
up
to
Parker
and-
and
here
is
where,
where
I
point
out
the
Division
of
the
projector.
It's
still
the
same.
The
project
came
out
from
a
revolutionary
RFP
put
together
by
the
BP
da
and
the
DND.
It's
an
a-plus
project.
AK
It's
a
LEED
Platinum
project.
We
have
more
than
50,000
square
feet
of
green
space.
Open
green
space,
the
site
is
close
to
60,000
square
feet.
We
have
no
massing
on
Parker
before
we
start
designing.
We
met
with
the
community
members,
we
read
all
the
community
meeting
minutes
and
one
of
the
things
that
the
neighbors
were
very
concerned
is
about
the
maximum
Parker
curve.
Cuts
on
Parker
traffic
on
Parker
and
shading
to
the
neighbors
were
also
shading
to
the
community
gardens.
AK
Then
also,
we
have
a
pedestrian
walkway
from
Parker
to
terrace,
so
the
neighborhood
can
walk
through
our
project
to
connect
the
two
streets
and
also
we
have
an
art
programming.
So
explaining
a
little
bit
of
the
of
the
project.
Again
here
is
Terrace.
Here
is
Parker
and
we
have
35
feet
in
high
difference.
35
feet
is
about
three
stories,
so
terrace
Parker
and
what
we
wanted
to
do
is
respond
to
the
site
and
to
the
computer
command
the
conversation
with
the
community
on
Terrace.
AK
We
wanted
to
have
a
building
bottom
Parker.
We
want
to
create
a
landscape.
So
what
we
did
it's
with
terrorism
at
the
site.
We
start
building
up
the
building.
We
created
our
roof
garden
on
all
the
roof
at
the
level
of
terrace
of
Parker,
sorry,
which
are
the
community
gardens
there
more
than
14,000
square
root
of
community
gardens,
and
then
we
carve
out
the
building
to
create
five
big
pluses
of
public
space.
AK
AK
Here
is
an
elevation
which
this
is
on
on
Terrace.
The
idea
is
to
to
make
an
elevation
where
the
building
doesn't
feel
as
a
blank
wall
or
as
a
straight
wall.
It
feels
more
of
a
series
of
downtown
houses,
which
is
a
typology
that
that
we
appreciated
in
in
Boston
and
in
addition
to
this
typology,
we
have
different
heights.
Where
you
see
a
garden
of
this
unit
over
here,
you
see
the
roof
gardens
on
the
top.
AK
So
the
combination
of
breaking
the
massing
and
adding
the
vegetation
softens
the
perception
of
the
building
from
the
outside
and
then
on.
The
on
the
Parker
I
didn't
even
show
an
elevation
because
there's
no
building
there
is
on
Parker
pretty
much
at
the
same
level.
The
whole
thing
it's
a
park,
so
the
neighbors,
the
the
view
of
the
street
it'll,
always
enjoy
this.
This
view.
AK
These
are
the
community
gardens
over
here
that
we
have
been
talking
to
the
gorilla
gorilla
gardeners
in
in
Mission
Hill
and
we
have
been
working
together
with
them
too
for
this
initiative
and
then
at
the
end
over
here
there
are
the
PV
panels.
The
idea
is
that,
as
you
arrived
from
Parker,
you
see
this
this
Park,
as
you
start
coming
down
to
to
the
project
and
experience
the
project
you
find
this
public
space.
So
this
is
not
only
the
outdoor
vestibule,
where
all
the
tenants
can
go
to
their
units.
You
can
see
a
door
here.
AK
AK
So
those
pluses
or
that
render
that
I
showed
you
of
the
plaza.
There
are
these
pluses
that
show
in
green
over
here.
So
there
are
a
very
big
space
of
public
of
public
space.
At
least
this
one
is
three-story-high
this
one.
These
two
ones
are
two-story
high
and
these
two
are
one-story
high,
so
the
quality
of
human
scale
also
also
changes
and
the
light
etcetera.
AK
AK
So
the
one
of
the
of
the
interesting
parts
of
the
concept
of
the
project
is
that
the
building
is
is
not
conceptualized
as
a
building
but
more
as
an
organism
that
that
grow
by
adding
one
you
need
next
to
the
other.
So
we
were
able
to
play
with
a
void
of
the
pluses
and
the
volume
and
we
were
able
to
change
some
of
the
townhouses.
We
have.
AK
We
have
a
lot
of
town
or
we
had
more
townhouses
on
the
second
and
third
level
that
you
get
in
into
the
main
level
and
you
have
an
interiors
there.
So
now
we
added
flats
where
we
reduce
a
lot
of
square
footage
that
that
wasn't
on
the
stair,
then
also
we
reduce
some
of
this
of
the
two
bedrooms
and
they
and
the
three
bedrooms,
and
that
are
up
to
adding
the
additional
units.
E
E
I
passed
this
site
at
least
once
a
day
and
I
have
to
commend
you
on
what
I
think
is
very
innovative
and
thoughtful
solution
to
addressing
the
community's
desire
to
have
green
space
and
an
open
space
there
on
a
street
which
is
in
and
of
itself
Parker.
Street
is
not
particularly
residential
just
a
little
but
I
commend
you
on
a
very
innovative
solution
to
addressing
the
community's
need,
while
increasing
the
number
of
units.
Thank.

During
this
first
public
meeting,
it
became
clear
their
existing
neighborhood
concerns
relative
to
cut
through
traffic
on
the
streets
surrounding
the
project
site
vehicular
connection
from
the
project
site
to
Washington
Street
would
have
allowed
cars
traveling
out
of
the
project
site
to
potentially
not
need
to
traverse
the
surrounding
streets,
and
although
a
paper
street
exists
on
city
records,
to
connect
Willett
Street
to
Washington
Street,
the
proponent
does
not
have
control
over
that
portion
of
Woollett
Street.
Pursuant
to
community
feedback.
An
ongoing
staff
review
the
BPD
a
issued
a
request
for
supplemental
information
on
May
7th.
AD
In
response,
the
proponent
filed
a
supplemental
information
report
with
the
BPD,
a
on
May
23rd
and
2nd
I
AG
and
public
meetings
were
held
on
May
31st
with
the
submission
of
their
supplemental
information
report.
The
proponent
also
further
engaged
a
traffic
engineer
from
Howard
Stein
Hudson
to
conduct
traffic
counts
and
examine
the
issues
as
raised
by
the
community.
The
proponent
should
be
credited
for
their
diligence
throughout
the
article
ad
review
process
in
responding
to
feedback
raised
by
the
community
BPD
a
and
city
staff.
AD
Bpd,
a
staff
feels
that
the
proponent
has
duly
responded
to
all
feedback
that
arose
from
the
initial
filing
and
proposal.
Before
handing
you
over
to
Chris
Tracy
consultant
representing
CAD
builders,
I
would
like
to
highlight
several
key
benefits
in
connection
with
this
proposal.
This
proposal
brings
the
exciting
creation
of
two
single-family
IDP
homes.
One
of
these
homes
will
also
be
a
DA
group
to
accessible
a
pedestrian.
AD
Walkway
will
be
constructed
from
the
easterly
property
line
to
the
abutting
property,
allowing
for
access
to
Washington
Street,
so
folks
can
get
access
to
MBTA
buses
and
shops
on
Washington
Street.
A
public
connection
to
the
open
space
on
the
westerly
boundary
of
the
project
site
will
also
be
constructed
again
open
to
the
public
folks
can
walk
their
dogs,
use
the
open
space
etc
and
in
conjunction
with
BPD,
a
staff
and
the
Boston
Transportation.
AD
The
proponent
has
committed
to
traffic
calming
measures
on
the
streets,
neighboring
the
project
site
to
alleviate
the
concerns
and
impacts
of
existing
cut
through
traffic
I'll,
pass
you
off
to
Chris
Tracy.
Now,
who
will
walk
you
through
the
proposal
as
a
whole,
both
Chris
and
I
will
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
at
the
conclusion
of
his
presentation.

Delicia,
who
had
a
last
minute
family
obligation
that
came
up,
and
he
couldn't
be
here
with
us
tonight.
But
I'm
going
to
walk
us
through
the
proposal
walk
us
through
the
the
process
we've
gone
through
and
we
humbly
ask
the
board's
approval
with
again.
AL
So
my
client
and
I
had
done
a
lot
of
work
in
the
West
Roxbury
community
over
the
past
decade,
or
so
me,
working
for
the
city
than
BPD,
a
him
building
single-family
homes
in
this
neighborhood
and
throughout
Southwest
Boston,
and
we
kind
of
came
up
to
the
of
the
impetus
and
the
idea
behind
the
proposal.
Together
after
hearing
the
feedback
from
residents
of
this
community
and
of
Southwest
Boston.
AL
And
what
we
heard
was
that
folks,
weren't
necessarily
opposed
to
the
development
and
the
growth
going
on
across
the
city
per
se,
but
they
really
had
a
hope
to
see
the
new
development
fit
within
the
character
of
the
existing
neighborhoods.
They
live
in.
Obviously
folks
who
choose
to
live
in
West
Roxbury,
like
the
feel
of
sort
of
the
suburban
town
in
the
city
of
Boston,
so
enter.
What
we
think
is
a
really
unique
opportunity
to
do
just
that
on
7.75
acres
of
land.
AL
The
proposal
is
for
29
single-family
homes,
29
new
opportunities
for
home
ownership,
while
displacing
zero
residents
were
really
excited
that
that
two
of
the
homes
on
site
will
be
IDP
units
we'll
also
be
making
contribution
to
the
IDP
fund.
We
think
this
is
the
best
use
for
the
site.
This
was
a
former
construction
yard
and
quarry
land
there
will
be
no
major
canopy
or
tree
cover
displaced.
There
will
be
minimal
blasting
when
we
build
the
site
we
designed
it
to
fit
within
the
existing
topography
of
the
site
starting
in
summer
of
2017.
AL
That's
at
least
six
thousand
square
feet,
which
is
the
threshold
for
zoning
out
in
West
Roxbury
each
home
will
have
2600
square
feet
of
living
space
all
have
associated
off
street
parking
to
go
along
with
it.
So
this
is
the
site
on
my
little
yellow
cursor
here
this
is
Roxbury
latins
property.
This
is
the
West
Roxbury
crushed
stone
property.
This
is
Washington
Street
traversing.
This
way
takes
you
to
rondell
square,
then
Forest,
Hills
and
eventually
downtown
Boston
traversing
to
the
southwest,
takes
you
to
the
town
of
Dedham.
AL
AL
It
some
folks
in
the
neighborhood
boom
owned
the
existence
of
it,
because
it
is
in
the
middle
of
a
single-family
neighborhood.
So
there
were
no
sad
feelings
when
this
when
the
land
was
sold
and
when
we
proposed
single-family
housing,
the
majority
of
the
site
is
a
piece
from
the
Larusso
property
that
my
client
has
under
under
agreement
to
purchase
in
Larusso
is
the
owner
of
the
West
Roxbury
quarry
so
folks
in
the
neighborhood
again
we're
excited
to
see
single-family
homes
go
where
otherwise
would
be
quarry
rock
blasting
and
construction
debris.
AL
So
this
is
the
site,
as
it
is
now
again,
not
tearing
down
any
major
trees,
it's
low,
laying
canopy
and
it
allows
sort
of
for
a
road
to
be
built
in
for
homes
to
go
in.
So
this
is
the
site
map
a
little
unclear
to
tell
here
a
little
easier
to
see
here
on
our
landscape
plan.
Again
29
single-family
homes
is
the
proposal
and
again
I'll
run
you
through.
AL
These
are
the
designs
that
CAD
builders
has
done
in
this
immediate
neighborhood
they've
built
homes
on
Sparrow,
Street,
Maplewood,
Street,
Woodley
Ave
in
Searle
Road
in
West
Roxbury
folks
have
been
very
pleased
with
the
work
they
do.
They've
got
a
lot
of
experience
in
this
actual
community.
So
again
it's
been
it's
been
well
received
by
the
community.
We
did
have
a
community
meeting
with
the
butters
that
Aisling
had
mentioned,
and
they
we
heard
of
some
concerns
about
the
vehicular.
Access
to
the
site
be
PDA,
issued
a
request
for
further
supplemental
information.
AL
We
responded
in
kind
and
they
asked
us
to
look
into
a
few
pertinent
issues
that
I'll
speak
to
now.
One
is
the
residents
who
live
on
Carroll
Circle,
which
is
right
about
here.
My
cursor
I
believe
they've
written
to
you,
folks
who
are
on
the
board.
They
currently
experience
a
lot
of
water
retention,
runoff
problems
on
their
property
and
it
is
a
real
problem.
That's
because
the
previous
construction
site
here
was
storing
debris
and
burying
debris
in
the
ground.
AL
It
did
nothing
to
treat
their
water
there's
nothing
toxic
in
there,
but
it
caused
all
that
runoff
on
Carroll
Circle.
So
as
we've
gone
through
the
site,
we've
realized
that
in
working
with
beep,
Boston,
water
and
soil,
we
have
to
retain
all
water
and
treat
all
water
on-site.
So
we
have
two
drainage
infiltration
systems
with
underwater
tanks
to
treat
our
water
to
prevent
any
runoff
on
site.
AL
This
is
the
second
site
that
we
added
here
for
an
infiltration
system
that
will
cure
the
problems
that
currently
exist
in
19
Carroll
circle,
who
I
know
has
written
to
board
members.
The
other
pertinent
issue
that
came
up
was
that
folks
who
lived
on
what
are
commonly
known
as
the
bird
streets,
eagle,
heron,
thrush
and
willette
street
had
asked
the
proponent
if
they
could
look
into
a
vehicular
means
of
egress
and
ingress
to
get
towards
Washington
Street,
and
we
would
say
that
the
original
design
of
the
plan
was
never
a
Washington
Street
plan.
AL
It
was
always
hoped
to
be
an
extension
of
the
bird
streets
but
hearing
their
feedback.
We
took
it
under
serious
consideration
and
we
did
our
due
diligence.
We
did
a
thorough
investigation
to
see
if
we
could
in
fact
connect
to
Washington
Street
for
vehicular
traffic.
We
found
out
that,
although
a
plan
exists
on
old
city
city
plans,
that
would
allow
for
a
connection,
we
have
no
control
over
what
is
a
paper
street
on
those
old
plans,
the
abutters
control
it
public
improvements,
Commission
told
us.
AL
We
would
need
a
completely
cooperative
effort
from
all
of
others
here
to
make
that
happen,
and
we
haven't
gotten
a
response
that
other
butters
want
to
do
it
so
that
prohibited
us
to
connecting
vehicles
with
access
to
Washington
Street.
Here
we
look
towards
the
southwest
of
the
site
to
see
if
we
could
connect
cars
to
Washington
Street
via
this
route.
We
are
landlocked
on
this
side,
though,
by
all
privately
owned
property,
so
that
prevented
us
from
getting
cars
out
in
that
direction.
AL
So
the
plan
is
that
cars
will
enter
an
exit
via
the
existing
Washington
Street
and
thrust
Street,
and
it's
important
to
note
that
this
area
of
will
let
and
thrush
didn't
exist
about
10-15
years
ago.
This
is
all
new,
newer
development
when
you
take
a
right-hand
turn
off
Maplewood
Street.
Here,
you're
in
all
private
ways,
these
are
all
private
ways
we're
going
to
build
this
as
a
private
way
up
to
public
standards,
and
that
is
the
plan,
as
is
following
approval
of
this
board.
AL
We
need
relief
from
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals
public
improvements,
Commission
to
build
the
road
and
con
Kong
a
couple
other
things
bit
about
my
client.
My
client
is
CAD
Builders
LLC
they're,
a
local
company
out
of
Canton,
with
routes
in
High,
Park
and
again
they've
done
an
awful
lot
of
work
in
this
neighborhood
as
we
went
through
the
project
and
we
and
we
received
the
Supplemental
request
for
information.
The
project
really
grew
in
breadth
and
scope
and
we
think
it
actually
improved.
We
brought
on
a
lead
consultant.
AL
We
are
now
at
LEED
Silver
and
we're
proud
of
that
fact.
We
brought
we
re-engage
Howard
Stein
Hudson
to
help
with
some
traffic
mitigation
on
these
existing
streets
of
the
bird
streets,
so
we're
going
to
work
with
BTD,
going
forward
on
any
traffic
calming
measures
that
we
can
make
in
those
existing
streets
and
in
addition,
we
had
some
great
recommendations
from
BPD,
a
staff
who
mentioned
that.
Although
we
have
an
awful
lot
of
open
space,
we
have
66
thousand
square
feet
of
deed,
restricted,
open
space.
They
said.
AL
There's
it's
not
that
easy
to
get
to
so.
We've
actually
created
a
publicly
accessible
path
right,
where
my
cursor
is
open:
the
public
open
to
neighborhood,
dog,
walkers
and
folks
who
want
to
hike
through
the
woods
up
here.
So
we're
excited
about
that
we've
also
in
an
effort
to
encourage
healthier
lifestyles
and
encourage
people
to
take
public
transit.
We're
gonna
create
a
sidewalk
that
extends
to
the
four
nine
four
five
Washington
Street,
which
this
board
approved
in
the
past
couple
of
years
and
is
now
an
under
construction.
AL
So
the
plan
when
they
were
approved
was
they
allow
pedestrians
to
traverse
sort
of
backwards
to
our
site.
We're
now
allowing
pedestrians
to
traverse
towards
Washington
Street
to
get
to
the
bus
easier,
get
to
the
bus
easier
again.
We
think
those
are
some
great
improvements
made
to
the
site
and
we
commend
BPD
a
staff
for
recommending
them.
That's
it
for
my
presentation,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
entire
BPD,
a
staff
who
helped
us
through
this
process,
especially
Ashland
Kerr,
who
did
an
outstanding
job
as
our
project
manager.
Okay,.
A
Request
authorization
to
issue
a
scoping
determination
waiving
the
requirement
of
further
review
pursuant
to
article
80,
section,
80,
B,
5.3
D
of
the
zoning
code
for
the
construction
of
a
mixed
juice
building
consisting
of
110
rental
units,
including
18
IDP
units
12,000
square
feet
of
ground
floor,
retail
104
parking
spaces.
One
hundred
and
ten
bicycle
storage
spaces
located
at
five
Washington
Street
and
to
recommend
approval
to
the
board
of
appeal
for
the
necessary
zoning
relief
and
to
take
all
related
actions.
Casey
Thank.
AF
You,
mr.
chairman
members,
the
board
director
golden
madam
secretary,
the
five
Washington
Street
site,
is
made
up
of
approximately
forty
three
thousand
five
hundred
square
feet
and
is
primarily
located
in
Brighton,
with
a
small
portion
located
in
the
town
of
Brookline.
Currently,
the
site
is
a
gas
and
service
station
with
approximately
120
vehicles.
Over
the
past
four
years,
BPD
a
staff
have
been
working
with
multiple
proponents
on
numerous
iterations
of
this
project
throughout
often
very
spirited
community
process.
AF
As
you
may
have
read
in
your
board
memo
the
version
that
will
be
presented
momentarily
as
a
result
of
a
commendable
group
effort
between
the
proponent,
the
ia,
gbpd
and
city
staff
and
the
community
throughout
the
article
ad
process,
the
unit
count
has
been
reduced.
The
IDP
component
has
increased,
sidewalk
widths
have
increased.
The
building's
top
floor
has
been
set
back,
the
number
of
three-bedroom
units
has
increased,
even
the
color
of
the
building
has
been
modified
to
address
the
community
feedback.
AF
In
addition,
the
proponent
has
worked
closely
with
the
ia
G
BPD,
a
and
b
TD
staff
over
the
last
few
months
to
develop
a
thoughtful
mitigation
package
which
is
outlined
in
your
board
memo
the
product
of
years
of
dialogue.
Now
before
you
is
a
hundred
and
eight
unit
rental
building
with
a
one
hundred
and
four
parking
spaces
in
approximately
12,500
square
feet
of
retail
space,
which
is
anticipated
to
be
a
pharmacy
and
a
local
local
retail
space.
On
the
ground
floor.
AF
To
briefly
recap:
the
process
for
the
current
proposal,
the
proponent
entered
into
a
99-year
ground
lease
with
the
owners
of
the
site
on
June
in
June
of
2017,
a
PMF
was
submitted
to
the
BPD,
a
on
January
12
2018.
A
public
meeting
was
held
on
February
28th
ni.
Ag
meetings
were
held
on
February
26th
in
March
28th,
where
the
proposal
was
presented
and
discussed.
AF
The
revised
project
was
then
presented
and
an
additional
IG
meeting
held
on
June
6,
if
approved
the
proponent
plans,
to
commence
construction
as
soon
as
March
of
2019,
with
completion
at
the
end
of
2020.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
introduce
you
to
mr.
Justin
Krebs,
who
will
introduce
his
team
and
then
begin
the
project
presentation.
Thank
you.
AM
Thank
You,
Casey
and
members
of
the
board.
We
appreciate
your
time
my
partner,
Matt
Ferris
tomorrow.
I
would
like
to
also
say:
Casey
did
a
fabulous
job
with
us
guiding
us
through
this
process.
The
one
thing
I
wanted
to
say
in
addition
is:
we
are
long-term
owners.
So
one
of
the
interesting
things
and
concerns
that
came
up
with
the
community
is
that,
although
it
was
not
for
ownership
that
our
model
and
our
investors
are
generational
owners,
so
it
they
do.
Generational
skipping
trust.
AM
AM
Those
were
some
real
key
issues
as
well
as
I
think
the
constructive
dialogue
that
we
had
with
the
IAG
in
the
community
that
gave
us
the
guidance
that,
if
we
could
set
back
the
top
floor,
reducing
the
influence
and
the
impact
of
the
massing
that
that
was
a
real
benefit.
It's
been
a
great
dialogue.
We
actually
enjoyed
the
process
with
the
IAG
and
I
think
we've
landed
it
a
good
spot
with
that
I'll
respect
your
time
and
I'll.
Let
tomorrow
go
through
the
details.
Thank.
AN
You
Dustin
good
evening
tomorrow,
Roy
representing
our
Stantec
architecture
team
very
quickly,
since
Casey
covered
a
lot
of
this
ground,
18,
affordable
apartments
out
of
the
hundred
and
eight
large
retail
space
on
the
ground
floor
and
actually
an
extra
one
for
the
local
retailers
at
a
discounted
rent,
and
we
have
quite
a
few
different
green
features.
Oh.
AN
Yes,
sixteen
percent.
It's
actually
sixteen
point.
Six
percent
is
our
affordable
housing
IDP
contribution.
The
site
is
at
this
corner
of
Quarry
Road
in
Washington,
Street,
very
transit,
oriented
development
with
a
three
minute:
walk
to
Commonwealth
Avenue
green
line,
as
well
as
the
Beacon
Street
tea.
Six
minutes
away.
It
is
a
gas
station
site.
It
has
six
curb
cuts
in
and
out.
It's
not
an
easy
sort
of
public
realm
at
the
moment
and
it
also
floods
during
rains.
So
we're
going
to
mitigate
that
as
part
of
our
project.
AN
That
was
the
color
she
mentioned.
It
was
a
darker
gray
to
start
so
this
was
what
we
had
before
and
you
can
see
sort
of
the
red
brick
elements
coming
up
to
the
fifth
story,
whereas
we
always
had
the
one
white
brick
element
being
lowered
at
that
major
corner
and
then
what
we
are
where
we
are
now
is:
we've
dropped
both
those
brick
elements,
as
well
as
lightened
the
gray
generally
and
pushed
the
entire
top
part
away
from
Quarry
Road
and
then
on
Quarry
Road.
AN
There
was
a
concern
about
that
bump
that
projected
out
at
the
top
of
the
screen.
So
we
pushed
that
back
as
well
to
widen
the
sidewalk
to
over
ten
feet
at
that
point
and
then
on
the
quarry
up
hillside.
This
was
the
other
volume
that
went
all
the
way
up
to
five
stories
and
we
pushed
that
back
as
well.
AN
What
we
mentioned
before
the
storm
water,
remediation,
environmental,
remediation
of
a
Performa
gas
station
site
as
to
alleviate
the
flooding
issues,
is
over
a
million
dollars.
There's
jobs.
We
always
hear
jobs
in
this.
This
meeting,
the
the
decrease
in
the
vehicle
trips
of
a
gas
station
to
a
housing
site
is,
is
important
as
well,
and
reducing
those
curb
cuts
from
six
to
one
is
is
going
to
really
change
this
site
and
then,
as
Justin
started
out
and
we're
sort
of
circling
around
they'll
own
operate
and
maintain
the
building
for
the
long
term.
That's
it.

This
property
is
what
we
would
call
an
expiring
use
project
when
projects
such
as
these
expire
under
federal,
HUD,
HUD
programs,
tenants
are
given
enhanced
vouchers
that
helped
him
to
pay
the
market
rent,
but
as
these
tenants
leave,
the
units
become
market
rate
for
projects
such
as
this
one,
which
was
state
funded.
Similar
protections
do
not
exist
for
the
tenants
and
the
restrictions
expired
on
March
1st
2018,
which
starts
a
three
year
period
in
which
rents
are
raised
to
market
and
few
tenants
would
be
able
to
stay.
AO
Here
is
the
project
location,
which
is
immediately
next
to
the
back
entrance,
the
mass
ft
stop
and
on
the
boundary
of
the
fenway
south
end
and
lower
Roxbury
no
neighborhoods.
This
is
a
picture
of
the
Newcastle
buildings
at
599,
Columbus
Avenue
and
the
saranac
buildings,
which
also
faces
Columbus,
but
is
at
380
Northampton
Street.
AO
Today,
in
an
unusual
and
innovative
move,
we're
asking
you
to
approve
the
use
of
IDP
off-site
units
to
say
if
these
97
house,
it's
IDP
funds,
have
been
used
in
the
past
to
purchase
and
preserve
existing
housing
at
the
Boston
trailer
park,
104
mobile
homes,
69
Walden
Street,
which
is
18
units
and
in
2014
that
Cortez
Street
was
for
41
SRO
units.
Those
were
used
with
IDP
funds,
not
offsite
units.
AO
The
preservation
will
occur
in
two
steps:
fenway
CDC
in
cooperation
with
Shawkat
companies,
will
purchase
the
property
with
a
mortgage
from
the
quasi
state
agency
known
as
c-dac,
and
then
the
project
will
have
approximately
two
years
to
pull
together
additional
funding
sources
to
complete
the
renovations
at
which
time
a
second
closing
will
occur
in
order
to
secure
the
loan
from
ctek,
six
million
in
funds
were
needed
to
support
the
project.
Today,
we
approached
developers
with
existing
off-site
commitments
in
the
area,
but
because
of
their
development
timelines,
they
were
unable
to
support
the
project.
AO
At
this
time.
The
development
team,
however,
approached
Cabot
Cabin
in
Forbes
or
C
CNF,
and
their
proposed
project.
A
chaotic
and
Queensbury
Street
in
the
Fenway
CCF
is
prepared
to
fund
this
initial
six
million
in
exchange
for
a
twenty
two
unit,
IDP
credit
for
this,
or
this
or
another
project,
as
the
sixty
chimeric
project
is
proposed
to
have
approximately
450
units.
This
credit
only
represents
a
portion
of
their
commitment,
and
the
remaining
commitment
will
be
defined
as
part
of
the
regular
article
80
process,
which
is
about
to
begin.
AO
It
is
anticipated
that
the
project
as
a
whole
will
be
funded
as
off-site
IDP
units
and
given
that
there
is
a
parking
lot
and
the
back
of
the
project,
there's
a
proposal
to
create
an
additional
building
at
this
site
which
could
hold
up
to
42
income,
restricted,
affordable,
condos
also
created
as
off-site
IDP
units-
and
this
is
the
this-
is
the
site
of
the
new
castle
building
and
the
parking
lot
in
the
back.
As
Newcastle
saranac
sits
on
urban
renewal
parcels.
AO
There
will
be
future
action
by
this
board
in
order
to
subdivide
the
part
so
link
up
for
this
initial
building
to
create
a
new
Lda
to
review
that
afford
to
review
that
affordable
condo
project
and
to
review
the
sixty
chimeric
street
project.
If
you
have
any
questions,
jacob
Vance
from
Quebec
cabinet,
forbs
and
then
Andre
Jones
from
Fenway
CDC
are
also
here.
Okay,.
I
AO
I
can
give
you
a
little
bit
right
now
under
the
housing
2030
plan.
We
anticipated
these
expiring
news
projects
and
the
goal
was
to
maintain
97%
of
those
units
over
the
20-year
period.
We
so
far
have
only
lost
I
think
at
most
about
twenty
units
over
the
last
six
years,
but
it's
been
through
the
diligent
efforts
of
the
staff,
the
department
Neighborhood
Development,
to
do
that,
and
this
is
more
the
first
times
that
we're
part
of
that
as
well.
C
Well,
Tim
I
want
to
congratulate
you
for
I
know
it's
hard
to
put
these
deals
together
and
and
I
think
for
all
of
us.
This
is
a
cautionary
message
in
this
project,
because
a
lot
of
housing
advocates
would
like
to
see
us
making
permanently
affordable
housing,
because
this
problem
isn't
going
away.
As
Priscilla
said
you
know,
and
as
we
create
more
if
we
have
to
use
new
units
to
save
older
units
we're
actually
not
creating
a
new
set
of
units
for
the
market.
C
This
is
a
complex
issue,
but
I
think
I.
Think
more
of
us
need
to
say
out
loud,
let's,
let's
create
permanently
affordable
housing
and-
and
we
can
do
that-
you
know
legally.
We
can't
do
that.
The
BPD
a
can't
do
that
by
itself
now,
but
we
can
do
that
through
legislative
channels
and
I.
Think
it's
something
we
should
all
be
thinking
about
and
working
towards.
I
appreciate.

The

area
and
located
at
the
corner
of
King

Malcolm,
X,

and
Roxbury
in
May
2003,
a
land
disposition
agreement
was
entered
into
by
the
be
RA
in
the
Islamic
Society
of
Boston
trusts
following
be
ra
board
authorization
in
January
2000
to
construct
phase
1
of
the
project,
which
consisted
of
a
mosque
and
community
center.
AI
That
would
include
function,
rooms,
administrative
offices,
a
library
in
approximately
105
parking
spaces.
Phase
2
of
the
project
was
to
include
a
school
in
ancillary
housing.
It
was
originally
anticipated
that
the
construction
of
phase

of
the
project
would
would
be
constructed
within
3
years
from
the
initial
date
of
the

which
was
issued
in
2008
in
August
2013
and
in
December

authorized
amendments
to

in
extensions
to
the
commencement
date
for

commencement
date
for

to
extend
the

date
for

First,
two

What
happens
under
Islamic
law?
They
cannot
borrow
money,
they
have
to
raise
all
of
the
money,
so
it
takes
them
forever,
so
they
have
to
raise,
in
addition
to
doing
repairs
on
their
other
property
they're
trying
to
raise
it
for
face
two.
They
can't
pay
interest
on
the
money.
So
therefore
cannot
borrow
and
that's
the
it
takes
forever
to
raise
money
for
them.

Another
focus
of
the

itself
was
to
create
more
economic
development

So
in

we
began
this

use
a
lot
of
property,
real
estates

was
publicly
held
by

the

So
what
we
have
on
this

the
dark

parcels
are
the
ones
that
are
being
conceived
of
and
planned.
Dudley

The

identify
these

as
parcels
to
be
acquired
in
the
cases
of
those

that
the

which
goes
along
with

that
the

is
in

set

These

are
consistent
with

they
do
not
substantially

There
are,
however,
necessary
to
effectuate
the

that
is

I'm
happy

This

we're
requesting
that
the
board
approved
minor
modifications
to
both
the
south
end
and
campus
high
school
urban
renewal
plans
for
the
site,
because
the
site
actually
sits
in
both
urban

areas.
So
it
consists
of
contiguous
parcels,
some
of
which
are
in
and
some
of
which
are
in
the
other
and
the
sites
that
make

So
the

is
approximately

It
contains
to
be
PDA
owned
parcels
with
street
addresses
of
1130,
tremon,

175
to
177
Ruggles

It
has

A
legal

currently
engaged
in

again

These

are
consistent
with
the
objectives

they
do
not
substantially

They
are,
however,
necessary

effectuate
the
development

consistent
with
the
plan.
Dudley

I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
C
S
I,
don't
know
if
it's
a
protected
historic

I
believe
it's
I
think
yeah
we
can.
We
can
certainly
find
that
out
for
you.
AP
E
Just
on
the
basis
of
these
two
dimensional
maps
with
overlays
and
I.
I
think
it
is
time,
even
though
the
planning
is
still
going
on
for
us
to
get
an
overall
sense,
for
example,
of
how
the
hotel
on
Cass
Boulevard
relates
to
the
tropical
foods
development
to
the
housing
that
we
approved
earlier
in
this
meeting,
a
matter
that
was
removed
from
the
agenda
for
today's
meeting.
The
consolidation
of
these
parcels
I
mean
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
an
area
that
is
no
more
than
you
know.

Dudley
commercial
site.
Right,
oh.
S
S
So
that's
why
we're
doing
these
minor

altogether
right
now,
so
the
Dudley

consists
of
approximately
a

twenty-five
thousand

feet
of
vacant

that's

It
remains
subject
to
several
land
disposition

and
it's
still

to

S
So
again,
in
order
to
be
consistent
with
the
RFP
development
guidelines
that
are
being
crafted
through
the

Dudley

we
need
minor

to
this

in
order
to
identify
these
parcels
on

of
the
plan
designate
their

and
parking
and
set
the
maximum
permitted
height
is
a
hundred
and
fifty
feet
in
the

are
as

These
modifications
are
consistent
again
with
the
objectives
of

Thank.
AR
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
board
secretary
Polhemus
and
director
golden
my
name,
is
Michael
Sinatra
project
manager
for
this
project.
The
project
before
you
this
evening
is
parcel
R
6a
in
the
child's
town
urban
renewal
area
also
identified
as
60
chappy
Street.
The
site
currently
consists
of
a
single-family
home
that
was
built
after
the
pasta
was
purchased
from
the
BR,
a
by
Robert
and
Kathleen
Marie
on
October
3rd
1978
on
December,
1st
2005
Kathleen
Marie,
the
surviving
spouse
of
Robert
Murray
transferred
Parcel
ardèche
6a
and
the
single-family
house
to
kathleen
Murray.
AR
As
trustee
of
the
Kathleen
Murray
home
trust.
We
are
before
you
tonight
to
request
a
transfer
of
this
single-family
home
from
the
Kathleen
Murray
home
trust,
260,
chappy,
Street
LLC,
whose
members
consist
of
Jonathan
Heelan
and
Jesse
McDonald.
The
proposal
is
to
demolish
the
current
single
family
home
and
construct
a
new
single-family
home
on
a
portion
of
parcel
ardèche
6a,
along
with
three
condominium
townhouses
on
the
Medford
Street
portion
of
partial
R
6a,
the
BR
a
has
also
established
an
incremental
price
of
$15,000
for
each
of
the
three
condos
for
a
total
of
$45,000.
AR
In
addition,
the
B
RA
will
require
that
4%
of
the
growth
will
be
due
for
each
unit
after
the
initial
sale,
with
a
2%
total
of
gross
to
be
paid
to
the
B
RA
for
every
sale.
Thereafter,
the
development
team
held
an
abutters
meeting
sponsored
by
the
mayor's
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
on
March
19
2018,
where
they
received
strong
support
for
the
project.
They
also
received
a
strong
vote
of
support
from
the
Chou's
town,
Neighborhood
Council,
unable
April
3rd
2018.
AR
In
addition,
we
held
a
BPD,
a
sponsored
meeting
on
May
31st
2018,
in
which
every
attendee
voiced
their
strong
support
for
the
project
as
well.
We
are
seeking
your
approval
of
the
sale
and
the
subdivision.
We
are
also
seeking
your
approval
to
terminate
the
original
Lda
and
to
enter
into
two
new
lDA's
allowing
for
the
construction
of
the
single-family
home,
as
well
as
the
three
condominium
townhouses
each
on
a
portion
of
partial
parcel.
Our
6a.
If
I,
could
direct
your
attention
to
the
screen.
Really
quick
I
just
have
three
slides
for
context.
AR
This
is
the
this
would
be
the
three
townhouses
on
the
method
Street
portion
of
the
parcel.
This
is
would
be
the
newly
reconstructed
one
single
single
family
home
on
chappy,
with
the
side
elevation,
obviously
of
the
in
Medford
Street
portion,
and
this
is
existing
conditions,
the
left
being
that
want
the
current,
a
single-family
home
and
the
right
being
the
portion
on
Medford
Street.
That
will
have
the
three
townhouses
on
it.
If
you
have
any
further
questions,
Gina
Carlson
from
the
BPD,
a
legal
team
is
present
this
evening,
as
well
as
members
from
the

team.

Chairman

goldman
secretary
members
of
the
board
on
may
5th
2014,
the
b
ra
board
first
voted
to
approve
the
partial
k
project
for
several
parcels
that
together
comprise
what
was
formerly
known
as
the
massachusetts
Port
Authority
Commonwealth
Flats
development
areas.
Several
notices
of
project
change
followed
the
original
approval,
the
most
recent
of
which
was
approved
by
this
board
on
December
15
2016.
In
accordance
with
this
projects
executed
cooperation
agreement,
the
proponents
have
committed
to
monetary
contributions
for
community
directed
purposes.
AD
It
was
important
throughout
the
article
80
review
process
to
members
of
the
impact
advisory
group
and
out
the
public
that
this
contribution
be
used
for
community
based
organizations
in
the
South
Boston
neighborhood.
The
hiring
McDonough
sailing
center
has
been
operating
from
Castle
Island
in
the
city's
South
Boston
neighborhood
since
1972,
with
a
mission
of
providing
free
sailing
instruction
programs
for
children,
more
than
650
children,
ages,
8
through
16
from
across
the
city
of
Boston,
and
if
all
economic
and
ethnic
backgrounds
attend
the
program
annually
in
the
summer
months.
AD
The
program
also
employs
sixteen
high
school
and
college
age
students,
all
of
whom
are
graduates
of
the
youth
sailing
program.
Recent
storms
and
floods
have
inflicted
substantial
damage
on
the
Harry
McDonough
sailing
center
facilities.
Immediate
renovations
and
improvements
are
necessary
in
order
for
Center
to
continue
to
serve
the
youth
of
the
city
of
Boston.
This
grant
disbursement
requests
the
board's
authorization
for
$50,000
of
the
monetary
contributions
from
the
parcel
K
project
to
be
directed
towards
the
high
earnings
on
the
Sailing
Center
for
necessary
renovations
and
programming
essential
to
the
center's
continued
offerings.
A
A
I,
don't
number
41
request
authorization
to
amend,
may

2016
vote,
establishing
the
other
post-employment
benefits,
liability,
trust
fund
and
to
establish
said
trust
fund
as
irrevocable
and
to
approve
a
longer
term
goal
to
fully
fund
the
ope
D
liability
totaling
approximately
20
million
dollars
Teresa.
This
sounds
perfectly
clear.
Exactly.
F
I'm
really
earning
my
Acting
Director
of
Finance
salary
this
evening.
I
am
here
that
I
am
here
this
evening
to
ask
your
approval
to
convert
our
other
post-employment
benefits
or
OBE
liability
trust
fund
into
an
irrevocable
trust
fund,
known
as
a
qualifying
trust.
This
conversion
would
protect
the
funds
from
being
seized
as
a
result
of
a
suit.
Additionally,
as
a
qualifying
trust.
The
accounting
treatment
for
future
cost

calculations
are

F
F
You,
mr.
chairman,
we
have
a
few
items
for
your
consideration
on
the
bre
agenda.
This
evening
we
have
one
appointment
for
your
consideration
with
details
listed
in
the
board
memo
lauren
short
list,
deputy
director
of
downtown
and
neighborhood
planning
in
the
planning
department.
We
have
five
travel
items
for
your
consideration,
with
details
listed
in
the
board:
memos,
carolyn
bennett,
allah's',
askin
and
jeffrey
Curtis
from
Mis
David
Carlson
from
urban
design
and
Renee
LaFave
from

general
counsel.
H
F
F
A
AS
You,
mr.
chairman,
and
through
you
to
the
members
tonight
quickly,
the
votes
you've
taken
have
yielded
approvals
for
almost
a
million
square
feet
of
new
construction
that
speaks
to
700,
new
construction
jobs
and
more
than
2,000
direct
and
indirect,
non
construction
jobs.
So
another
night
of
significant
development
approval
activity,
but
I'd
like
to
focus
on
a
few
things
that
that
other
agencies
I'm
sorry
departments
within
the
agency,
have
been
working
on
beyond
beyond
development
review.
The
this
week
we
unveiled
and
released
Boston's
economy
2018.
AS
It's
our
annual
report
from
our
research
division,
which
is
ones,
are
going
to
done
a
terrific
job
of
explaining.
Just
what
going
on
in
this
in
this
very
robust
economy
of
2018
in
the
city
of
Boston,
it
discusses
employment,
our
low
unemployment
rate
relative
to
the
rest
of
the
state
relative
to
the
rest
of
the
nation,
the
quality
of
the
jobs,
the
places
where
the
jobs
are
growing,
there's
significant
job
growth
annually
in
Boston,
but
it
really
drills
down
on
the
sectors
that
help
tell
the
story
of
what's
going
on
with
our
building
boom.
AS
The
building
boom,
after
all,
is
a
reflection
of
a
demographic
and
an
economic
boom.
This
tells
the
story
pretty
comprehensively
but
but
easily
digestible,
it's
written
for
the
for
the
layman.
It's
not
a
textbook
of
economics,
but
it
tells
the
story
by
the
numbers
with
regard
to
Boston's,
very
healthy
economy.
Right
now,
so
I
have
a
copy
for
you
each
and
for
anyone
watching
at
home.
It's
available
on
our
website.
AS
The
a
few
days
ago,
the
Boston,
Globe
and
other
news
outlets
told
the
story
of
some
of
our
significant
new
planning
efforts.
Once
again,
the
mayor
wants
us
to
keep
up
the
hard
charge
with
regard
to
not
only
reviewing
and
permitting
major
real
estate
development,
but
also
doing
the
planning
that
that
allows
us
to
achieve
greater
community
support
when
development
projects
do
come
along.
So
we've
done
several.
We
just
saw
a
presentation
on
some
of
the
culminating
events
with
regard
to
plan
Dudley
that
Courtney
produced
provided
you
tonight.
AS
That's
the
way
the
mayor
wants
it.
We
think
that
ultimately
serves
the
best
interests
of
the
people
of
Boston.
They
finally
heard
a
discussion
tonight
on
Manuel,
Esquivel
and
and
Tad
Reid
have
been
working
for
quite
a
long
period
of
time
on
a
smart
utilities
pilot
we
we've
adopted
that
we'll
move
forward.
I
want
to
reiterate
in
a
really
important
point.
AS
This
policy
really
puts
us
as
one
of
a
kind
we're
the
first
in
the
nation
to
adopt
something
that
that
provides
meaningful
resiliency
in
our
planning
associated
with
public
utility
infrastructure
it'll
be
resilient,
it'll
be
more
efficient,
it'll,
be
coordinated
both
among
utilities
and
public
agencies,
so
then
so
that
we're
not
doing
redundant
disruptive
efforts
over
and
over
again
with
regard
to
ripping
up
streets
for
purposes
of
laying
down
wire
and
pipe.
So
this
this
brings
us
to
to
a
new
level
that
we
really
don't
have
peers
in
this.
AS
This
effort
really
paves
the
way
for
improved
management
of
utilities,
but
not
only
with
regard
to
quality
of
life
and
disruption
it
improves
their.
It
improves
efficiency
again,
all
that
that
is
done
by
utilities.
Over
and
over
again,
the
redundant
redundancy
is
embedded
in
everybody's
rates,
so
the
more
we
can
reduce
the
the
utility
infrastructure
of
utilities,
the
more
we
can
reduce
bills
that
ultimately
flow
to
consumers,
but
very
key
concept
here
to
is
resiliency
protecting
this
infrastructure
against
any
kind
of
inclement
weather
our
climate
events.
AS
So
this
is
forward-thinking
planning
policy
at
a
granular
level.
We're
gonna
see
it
out,
actually
have
concrete
effects
in
the
built
environment
and
we're
gonna
see
how
this
works
for
the
next
two
years
and
hopefully
build
on
it
once
we
prove
the
concept
so
with
that
I.
Thank
you
for
your
attention
and
have
a
great
night.
