From YouTube: Boston Planning & Development Agency Meeting 1-11-18
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
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
broadcasted
by
Boston
City
TV,
which
is
a
part
of
the
city
of
Boston
office
of
cable
communications,
and
the
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
requests
authorization
for
the
approval
of
the
minutes
of
December
14th
2017
motions
in
order.
B
B
B
With
that
circle,
after
completing
its
due
diligence,
BG
I
decided
not
to
proceed
with
a
development,
we're
requesting
permission
to
advertise
a
new
RFP
for
the
development
of
parcel
M,
and
we
strongly
believe
that
the
market
demand
for
this
development
parcel
remains
solid.
Even
with
the
development
use,
restrictions.
D
A
B
Ride
is
a
developer
of
state-of-the-art
software
for
self-driving
cars.
Optimist
riders
entered
into
a
partnership
with
the
city
of
Boston
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts,
establishing
ground
rules
for
the
testing
of
autonomous
vehicles
and
their
intent
is
to
periodically
use
the
roadways
in
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
Marine
Park
to
test
the
vehicles
and
they've
been
doing
that
for
for
about
a
year.
B
Six
months
to
a
year
in
2016
and
17
optimist,
ride
utilized
a
portion
of
parcel
c1
to
store
and
test
the
vehicles,
and
they
also
place
trailers
there
and
and
to
house
the
vehicles
when
they
weren't
on
site.
We're
excited
about
the
potential
of
the
vehicles
and
look
forward
to
working
closely
with
optimist,
ride
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
and
we're
asking
for
authorization
to
enter
into
a
license
agreement
to
allow
them
again
to
use
a
portion
of
parcel
c1
through
March
31st
2017.
B
E
Optimist,
like
the
other
companies,
is
a
for-profit
company
and
at
some
point
they
and
their
owners
or
partners
will
derive
substantial
financial
benefit
from
the
work
that
they've
done,
testing
on
our
public
ways
and
and
I
wonder
again.
In
what
ways
could
this
agency
or
the
city
derive
some
financial
benefit
now
or
in
the
future,
from
the
outcomes
of
the
testing
that
they're
doing
that's.
B
A
good
consideration
there
may
be
some
benefit
for
us.
I
don't
have
an
answer
to
that
question,
but
because
they're,
it's
such
a
huge
amount
of
people
that
need
to
meet
this,
that
we
have
an
MoU
with
the
city
and
the
state
and
mascot
and
there's
so
many
agencies,
they're
involved
just
in
them
right
driving
on
the
roads
in
the
marine
park.
So
this
I
believe
it
I
agree
with
you.
They'll
do
very
well
at.
F
E
G
Ted
I,
remember
you
bringing
that
up
and
I
have
a
comment
on
it.
Certainly
the
roads,
the
public
roads,
people
use
them
to
get
to
work
and
some
people
use
them
as
part
of
they
work,
and
we
all
most
of
us
pay
taxes
to
do
that.
But
you
could
say
the
same
about
a
driver's
ed
company
that
their
business
is
for
kids
to
learn
how
to
drive
and
they
use
the
public
streets
and
they
certainly
make
money
off
of
those
streets.
G
So
I
think
it's
a
slippery
slope,
but
I
know
where
you
going
with
that,
but
certainly
trucking
companies
and
people
that
move
commerce
over
infrastructure.
They
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
more
for
public
roads
and
so
I,
don't
know
we
you
make
that
make
that
split,
and
certainly
the
driver's
ed
companies
are
not
as
profitable
as
this
Hahnemann
technology.
That's
going
to
eventually
come,
but
that's
just
just
my
thought
on
it.
G
A
Any
other
further
comments
or
questions
from
the
board
hearing,
none
of
motions
in
order
SEC.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
I,
close,
the
I,
shouted
Thank,
You
Maureen
I,
don't
number
four
request:
authorization
to
execute
an
engineering
service
contract
with
Howard
Stein
Hudson
for
the
roadway
improvement
project
at
Black,
Falcon
and
Terminal
Street,
with
an
Iranian
Island
Marine
Park
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
two
hundred.
Ninety
nine
thousand
six
hundred
fifty
dollars.
Well.
Thank.
H
You
very
much
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board
secretary
Polhemus
in
director
golden
Black
Falcon
Avenue
was
approximately
three
thousand
linear
feet
in
due
to
its
age,
and
heavy
traffic
and
construction
activity
requires
asphalt,
resurfacing
and
other
improvements.
Black,
Falcon
and
Terminal
Street
have
not
had
any
resurfacing
or
over
an
extensive
period
of
time.
Therefore,
civil
design
engineers
necessary
for
designing
the
improvements
which
will
include
scarifying,
the
new
bituminous,
concrete
overlay,
repairs
of
handicapped
ramps
and
new
sidewalks
curbing
traffic
signage
and
roadway
striping.
H
So
on
the
red
red
indication
on
that,
that's
where
it
goes
all
the
way
from
the
right
side
of
the
innovation
and
design
building
all
the
way
down
to
the
intersection
of
dry
Rock
Avenue.
So
it's
about
3,000
linear
feet
so
on
September,
14
2017,
the
BPD,
a
board
approved
in
advertising
for
engineering
design,
services
for
the
roadway
improvement
project,
capital
construction,
developed
a
request
for
proposal
for
engineering
services
on
November,
11
2017.
The
RFP
was
prepared
in
accordance
with
BPD
a
procurement
policy
and
master
on
allow
chapter,
13,
39,
m
and
outreach.
H
H
The
committee
included
members
of
the
BPD
a
real
estate
engineering
and
facilities
management
in
the
capital
construction
department.
Based
upon
the
submitted
proposals,
the
committee
and
agency
recommends
that
the
contract
for
engineering
services
be
awarded
to
Howard
Stein
Hudson.
The
committee's
choice
was
based
on
qualifications
previous
site
experience
in
the
park
in
the
ability
to
complete
the
design
services
within
the
project's
funding
requirements.
Funding
for
this
project
is
for
the
City
of
Boston
office
of
budget
management,
capital
planning
for
the
fiscal
year
2018,
okay,.
A
Thank
you
Paul
any
questions
from
the
board
hearing,
none
of
motions
in
order
sake;
second,
all
those
in
favor.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Paul
item
number:
five
request:
authorization
to
execute
an
engineering
service
contract
with
child's
ins,
an
engineering
corporation
for
the
dry
dock
for
closure
in
PS,
six
reconstruction
project
within
the
Raymond
L
Flynn
marine
park
and
in
the
mountain
not
to
exceed
five
hundred
thirty
nine
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
Paul
well,.
H
Thank
you
very
much,
mr.
chairman,
again,
if
you
look
at
that
photograph
up
on
the
screen,
this
is
dry
dock
for
we've
been
here
previously,
if,
with
other
improvements
that
we've
had
to
make
specifically
the
caisson
that
we
had
to
repair
a
few
years
back
as
well
as
all
the
improvements
on
pier
five.
H
So
this
juncture,
all
along
here,
pier
six,
it's
about
900,
linear
feet
of
pier
the
the
steel
bulkhead
coffee
dam
system
is
completely
corroded
and
there's
no
service
life
left
I'd,
say
from
the
face
of
the
curb
all
the
way
back,
I'd
say:
probably
about
thirty
five
feet
so
that
dark
area
there
represents
collapse
all
along
idea.
So
basically
it's
condemned
right
now,
so
we're
going
to
be
evaluating
that
with
child's
engineering
corporation,
to
determine,
what's
the
best
corrective
measure
to
get
that
back
in
a
workable
and
operational
facility.
H
That's
work
item
number
one
I
remember
to
what
we're
doing
as
well
is
the
dry.
Rockers
will
never
be
another
directed
a.
It
is
really
no
demand
for,
especially
we
have
dry
rock
three
about
a
half
a
mile
down
the
street
on
High
Street.
So,
as
part
of
the
services
that
the
giant
engineer
will
will
close
this
off
right
here,
this
is
where
the
caisson
is
we'll
close,
that
off
and
we'll
come
up
with
a
design
and
what
to
do
that,
because
the
future
development
will
be
that
the
basin
here
is
not
is
not
usable.
H
So
on
September
14th
2017,
the
board
approved
the
director
to
advertise
engineering
design
services,
contract
capital
construction,
developed
a
request
for
proposal
for
engineering
services
on
November
14
2017.
The
RFP
was
prepared
in
accordance
with
the
BPD,
a
procurement
policy
in
Mass,
General,
Laws,
chapter
30,
39m
and
outreach
for
MBE
WB's
was
also
included
with
the
solicitation
for
this
project
over
50
consultants,
download
of
the
RFP
on
the
BPD
a
website.
H
H
After
a
thorough
review
of
the
proposal
by
the
committee
usually
is
universally
recommended
that
the
contract
be
awarded
to
charles
engineering
corporation
based
on
qualifications
prior
site
experience,
reasonable
cost
in
completing
the
project
within
the
scheduled
requirements.
This
charles
engineering
scope
of
work
will
be
to
investigate
both
above
and
below
the
water
in
all
conditions
in
the
year
of
bo6,
prepared
design,
repair
plans
for
po6
and
drydock
closure
suitable
for
public
bidding
and
they'll
also
write
a
reuse
report
for
future
development,
centers
and
areas
to
help
plan.

with
respect
to
the

area,
Tim
good.
K
K
This
fall
while
hym
was
putting
together
its
development
plan
Amazon
released
its
RFP
for
a
potential
second
headquarters
working
with
hym
the
city
of
Boston,
put
together
a
bid
response
that
positioned
the
Suffolk
down
site
as
a
potential
location
for
Amazon's
HQ
to
one
of
the
requirements.
Amazon
outlined
in
its
RFP
was
at
least
five
hundred
square
feet
of
office.
Space
ready
for
occupation
in
2019
on
December,
5th
hym
filed
to
project
notification
forms
one
for
the
complete
109
acre
site,
which
we
refer
to
as
the
master
plan
and
one
for
a
to
building.
K
Up
on
the
slide
there,
both
projects
are
currently
being
reviewed
by
staff
and
the
community.
The
review
of
the
master
plan
will
continue
with
additional
community
meetings,
the
issuance
of
a
scoping
determination
by
BPD
a
staff
and
the
eventual
submission
of
a
draft
project
impact
report.
The
phase
1
project
has
been
the
subject
of
a
community
meeting
and
three
impact
advisor
group
meetings
and
will
be
considered
by
the
board
next
month
at
a
public
hearing
as
a
development
impact
project.
J
Thank
you
Tim.
Thank
you
again,
mr.
chairman,
so
before
you
tonight
is
a
text
amendment
specifically
to
the
dimensional
tables
for
the
economic
development
areas
in
East
Boston
right
now,
the
maximum
allowed
height
in
the
Suffolk
Downs
EDA
is
45
feet.
The
proposed
amendment
before
you
tonight
is
for
125
feet
in
the
shaded
area.
Only
it
will
not
apply
to
the
entire
Suffolk
Downs
site
only
in
this
shaded
area.
We
are
confident
with
this
proposed
zoning
change.
J
We
have
done
in
zoning
change
similar
to
this
in
terms
of
description
in
the
South
End,
specifically
in
the
Harrison
Albany
corridor.
That
area
where
we
have
measured
different
heights
and
different
step
backs
certain
distances
from
the
center
line
of
right-of-ways.
So
this
is
not
an
unprecedented
amendment
that
would
be
going
before
the
Zoning
Commission.
The
change,
as
Tim
mentioned,
is
necessary
for
the
phase
1
moving
forward
next
month,
and
we
are
confident
that
this
will
pass
the
Zoning
Commission
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
J
M
K
So
for
this
particular
zoning
change,
really
the
only
dimension
that's
being
changed
is
the
height.
The
uses
in
the
EDA
are
all
consistent
with,
what's
being
proposed
for
phase
one.
The
discussion
about
the
the
remainder
of
the
project
and,
as
you
said,
we've
sort
of
been
running
parallel
public
processes,
there's
a
master
plan
filing
that's
currently
under
review
under
Article
eighty,
you
know
the
the
proposal
here
is,
is
you
know,
as
Sarah
mentioned,
a
catalytic
mixed-use
development?
You
know
Tom
and
Doug
are
here.
If
I
go
off
the
rails,
they
can
they
can
sort
of.
K
This
is
their
application,
but
it
is
sort
of
a
mix
of
residential
office.
Retail-
and
you
know,
40%
of
the
of
the
the
site
or
25%
of
the
site
exceeded.
25
25
percent
of
the
site
is
going
to
be
open
space.
So
you
know
the
Amazon
is
sort
of
a
big
part
of
this,
but
there
is
you
know
this
proposal
existed
before
Amazon
came
through,
so
what
hym
has
been
proposing
is
sort
of
a
plan,
a
and
a
plan.
The
plan
on
plan,
a
being
if
Amazon
comes
they'll,
be
slightly
more
office
plan
B.
K
If
Amazon
does
not
choose
Boston
slightly
more
residential,
but
this
is
you
know,
if
you
look
through
the
filing
it's
it's
a
mixed-use
project
and
again
that's
the
the
more
precise
site
plan
the
uses
where
those
users
are
going
to
be
are
going
to
be
part
of
that
wider
master
plan
conversation,
which
is
you
know
again,
going
through
a
rigorous
article.
Eighty
review
I.
D
N
A
Jonathan
Greeley
directive,
development
of
you
here
at
the
BPD
a
so
the
site,
including
both
Revere
and
Boston,
is
160
acres.
So
there
is
a
range
of
heights
contemplated
throughout
the
project.
We're
currently
the
process
of
evaluating
this.
This
is
certainly
on
the
higher
end,
but
there
there
are,
there
are
taller
buildings
contemplated.
One
thing
that's
worth
noting
is
that
a
significant
portion
of
the
site
is
height,
restrict
to
due
to
FAA,
so
on
that
portion
of
the
site.
You
could
never
get
to
taller
than
a
hotter
than
30
feet
anyway
right.
N
So
so
one
thing
that
might
be
helpful.
So
next
month,
when
you
are,
there
will
be
a
public
hearing
that
we'll
be
evaluating
just
the
phase.
One
of
this,
which
is
a
small
piece
of
a
much
larger
project,
they
will
be
helpful
to
have
the
development
team
run
through
a
full
context
of
maybe
the
master
plan.
So,
and
you
can
cite
the
phase
one
piece
in
that
it's
it's.
It's
certainly
unique,
certainly
unique
permitting
strategy.
N
We
think
this
is
a
small
piece
of
a
larger
puzzle
aimed
at
making
sure
that
we
are
able
to
maintain
our
status
in
the
Amazon
pursue,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
had
a
thorough
review
process.
We've
had
a
number
of
community
meetings,
et
cetera,
so
I
think
that
there
is
a
range
of
uses:
Heights
significant,
open
space
roads,
a
ton
of
work
on
resiliency
happening
here.
C
N
The
highest
the
highest
portion
said
actually
would
be
in
Revere.
So
if
you
look
at
the
way
the
site
is,
then
it's
called
the
northern
batter
and
what
the
Avenue
you
could
get
up
to
200
feet
over
there
and
it
steps
down
in
increments,
to
130
feet
closer
to
these
Suffolk
Downs
stations.
So
the
site
is
bounded
on
the
east
by
the
Beechmont
station
on
the
blue
line
and
the
Suffolk
Downs
station.
N
G
N
I
hope
so
I
think
that
all
the
above
so
Amazon
is
certainly
constituted
a
particular
neighborhood
of
Seattle.
There
are
some
very
tall
buildings,
they
lease
other
spaces.
One
of
the
things
that's
really
unique,
I
think
the
most
important
thing
remember
about
the
work
that
myself
Sarris
and
all
and
others
did
at
the
city
team
at
valuating
the
Amazon
proposal.
We
did
a
lot
of
research
on
this-
is
that
some,
some
of
these
large
tech
companies
that
say
Apple
have
an
infinite
loop.
N
It's
one
big
circle,
it's
lower
scale,
but
it's
very
inward
facing
Amazon
consistently
regardless
what
type
of
building
they're
in
is
a
much
more
outward
facing
company
they
embrace
third-party
retail.
They
want
their
people
out
and
about
and
and
with
the
really
dynamic
thing
here
is.
The
hym
team
is
also
pushing
for
that
type
of
that
feel
that
has
that
that
recognizing
should
Amazon
choose
to
come
and
occupy
the
site.
N
That'd
be
great,
but
we
want
corporate
tenants
of
all
colors
shapes
and
sizes,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
they're
creating
a
dynamic
mixed
use,
neighborhood
here,
so
in
the
same
way,
we've
had
parts
of
the
city
that
become
increasingly
mixed-use,
including
the
downtown.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
balancing
an
outward
face
and
we
want
people
on
the
street.
We
don't
want
a
bunch
of
office
buildings
connected
by
sky
ridges.
We
won't
be
able
to
walk
across
the
street,
occupy
it
and
I.
Think
one
of
things
are
seeing
increasingly.
N
What
Boston
is
that
you
can
have
a
nine
nine
months,
a
year
outdoor
cycle
and
one
other
than
maybe
a
couple
of
days
last
week.
This
is
generally
a
place
where
you
can
be
outside
and
I.
Think
the
success
of
the
Boston
winter
outside
of
City
Hall
is
is
a
great
demonstration
of
that,
so
that,
but
we
look
forward
to
working
with
Amazon.
They
are
notoriously
tight-lipped
on
what
they're
looking
for
and
so
I
think
we
we
look
forward
to
partnering
with
Amazon
here
anywhere
else
in
the
city
of
Boston
I.
N
G
Certainly,
Amazon's
not
gonna,
negotiate
again
time
against
themselves,
but
I
appreciate
the
proactiveness
of
the
city.
I
hope
we're
v
is
doing
the
same
thing
and,
yes,
we
should
try
and
put
in
place
as
much
as
they
would
like.
So
it's
somewhat
shovel-ready
in
a
sense
that
we've
gotten
through
a
lot
of
the
bureaucracy
which
can
be
pretty
thick
around
here,
so
we're
ready
to
go
when
they
make
that
if
they
make
that
decision,
shame
on
us,
if
we,
if
we
don't
I,
would.
N
Argue
that
we
are
I,
we
are
certainly
a
bureaucracy,
but
a
goal-oriented
bureaucracy,
no
more
intricacy.
So
thank
you
for
thank
you.
For
that
reminder.
The
the
qualifier
here
is
as
part
of
the
as
part
of
the
the
bid
process.
They
said
they
would
need
half
a
million
square
feet
of
office.
Space
they'll
be
able
to
be
shovel-ready
and
then
built
by
the
end
of
2019
us
going
through.
This
process
allows
us
to
live
up
to
that
commitment
that
was
made
in
the
bid
last
fall.
G
N
So
I
actually
had
the
I
had
the
fortune
of
attending
a
community
meeting
last
night
and
we've
had
three
workshops
and
four
other
community
meetings.
The
workshops
started
before
we
even
had
filed
a
project
where
hym
took
a
range
of
stakeholders
for
tours
walk
the
site.
It
is
quite
impressive
to
be
out
there
and
is
actually
a
place
that
time
for
God.
Almost
it's
a
it's
a
very
much
a
horse
track
and
it
is
and
is
increasing,
almost
a
relic
of
a
bygone
era.
N
So
one
of
the
opportunities
here
I
think
everybody
in
the
community
feels
is
that
this
is
an
opportunity
for
growth,
an
opportunity
for
a
new
neighborhood
but
I
think
also
that
comes
with
some
concerns.
But
what
does
that
look
like?
And
so
there's
lots
of
questions
around?
Where
are
the
tall
buildings
on
the
site
making
sure
we
respect
neighborhood
context?
How
does
the
site
entrance
and
accessed
off
of
Bennington
Street
off
of
off
of
especially
not
just
at
Beechmont,
but
also
at
Suffolk
Downs,
and
also
the
connections
to
one
a
what
our
traffic
complications?
N
The
site
is
committed
to
25
acres
of
open
space,
80
acres
of
which
are
wetlands.
How
is
that
used?
How
can
that
be
an
amenity
to
have
anybody,
not
just
something
lives
and
works
on
the
site?
How
can
how
can
neighborhood
groups
take
advantage
of
those
open
spaces
to
program
to
be
active,
and
so
lots
of
those
kinds
of
questions
also
questions
about
mitigation
right?
So
how
can
they
improve
the
traffic
in
the
area?
How
can
we
think
about
support
for
nonprofits?
How
do
we
think
of
a
job
training?
N
What
is
the
affordable
housing
opportunity
here?
We
have
talked
about
up
to
10,000
units
of
housing
here.
That
means
well
over
a
thousand
will
be
deed,
restricted,
affordable
units
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity.
Here's
a
lot
of
great
burden
here,
I
think
for
both
the
city
and
for
the
development
team
to
think
really
hard
about
what
we're
doing,
but
I
think
that's
an
exciting
opportunity
and
it's
backed
up
by
the
work.
N
We
didn't
imagine
Boston
2030,
so
we
think
we're
well
on
our
way
to
kind
of
having
that
conversation,
the
ultimate
master
plan
will
reflect
all
of
those
goals
and
lock
in
the
kind
of
the
the
overall
economic
and
community
objectives
that
we
have
here.
And
so
we
look
forward
to
having
that
conversation
throughout
2018
and
we
look
forward
to
being
back
to
you
I'm
guessing
multiple
times
to
discuss
this
project
in
a
range
of
ways.
D
E
Sustainability
issues,
energy
use,
connection
to
the
blueline,
some
of
the
implications
of
what
it
will
mean,
whether
Amazon
comes
or
not,
in
terms
of
bringing
people
from
this
site
into
town
potential
connections.
At
the
end
of
the
blue
line
to
the
red
line.
That
would
facilitate
communication
between
this
site
and
whatever
is
developed
in
Cambridge
and
Kendall
Square
elsewhere,
and
particularly
because
wetlands
and
the
like
are
involved,
and
the
last
couple
of
weeks
have
really
underlined
some
of
the
urgent
need
for
us
to
plan
in
ways
that
address
sea
level
rise
and
climate
change.
E
N
And
it's
great,
the
development
team
is
actually
here
listening
to
everything,
you're
saying
so
you're,
not
only
addressing
me
in
the
agency
you're
addressing
that
team,
so
I
think
they're
excited
to
hear
that
tonight
was
just
view
as
a
bit
of
an
appetizer
and
so
and
and
and
IRA
all.
These
are
excellent
questions
and
we
look
forward
to
getting
into
that
in
much
more
detail
at
the
next
at
the
public.
Hearing
on
February,
8th
and
I
would
just
give
us
a
quick
anecdote.
N
We
had
a
meeting
today
where
I
think
we
had
maybe
10
BR
ASP
PDA
staff,
7
or
8
Environment
Department
staff
sitting
and
just
going
through
resiliency
with
the
development
team
and
thinking
about
how
they're
reacting
to
the
hundred-year
flood
plain,
elevating
the
site
40
inches
all
in
accordance
with
city
policy,
thinking
about
resiliency.
So
if
I
had
a
webcam
for
that
meeting,
I
would
have
filmed
it
and
shown
you
that
kind
of
conversation
happening
here
every
single
day.
N
We
have
every
competency,
there's
agency
working
long
and
hard
on
this,
as
is
every
single
department
in
the
city
of
Boston.
So
we're
really
excited
about
that.
We'll
make
sure
that
we
touch
on
all
those
themes,
not
only
just
loans
in
imagine
Boston
2030,
but
the
stuff
that
we
know.
That
is
at
a
core
of
our
thriving
future
city.
A
A
O
Members
of
the
board
secretary
Paul
Hymas
good
afternoon
and
Happy
New
Year.
We
are
looking
for
permission
to
put
an
RFP
out
for
emergencies.
Vendors.
This
is
a
one
year
vending
service
last
year.
It
generated
about
$140,000
for
us
and
I
think
if
everybody
was
safe
and
on
a
couch
last
Thursday,
you
can
understand
all
the
pressure
that
we
have
on
our
waterfront
properties,
and
this
money
goes
right
back
into
maintaining
that
area.
Okay,.
O
Of
popped
out
boards
on
the
harbor
walk
right
behind
the
charros.
For
the
most
part,
not
really
you
know
it's
nothing
that
we
didn't
anticipate
we've
been
working
diligently
with
Carolyn
Bennett
from
G
is
here
to
provide
some
maps
from
the
flooding.
It
basically
followed
the
hundred
year
flood
plan
that
we
have
probably
knock
off
about
two-thirds
of
it
and
that's
what
we
experienced
I
think
these
plans
will
be,
and
maps
will
be
invaluable
for
first
responders
in
the
future,
and
hopefully
the
MBTA
to
pre
deploy
a
lot
of
assets
like
sandbags
and
potentially
boats.
O
But
you
know
it
could
be
another
40
years
could
be
every
lunar
cycle,
so
we're
taking
all
preparations
and
I
think
you
realize
you
know
the
two
low
spots
that
we
have
in
the
city
limits
are
out
on
Morrissey
Boulevard
by
the
Vietnam
Veterans
Memorial
in
the
Chart
House.
But
you
know
those
are
the
two
lowest
points
that
were
always
impacted.
This
was
you
know,
an
extraordinary
event,
historic
event:
1515
flip
tide,
okay,.
A
Thank
you
any
further
questions
from
the

Thank.
H
You
very
much
mr.
chairman,
over
the
last
several
years,
I've
been
focusing
concentration
was
to
get
the
spaces
filled
up
with
tenants
in
also
getting
the
new
heating
plant
system
installed
and
running
which,
which
has
been
successfully
completed.
We've
also
been
focusing
on
the
construction
and
the
completion
of
the
Boston
Public
Library,
which,
as
of
yesterday,
we
just
got
our
CFO,
so
we're
very
proud
of
the
accomplishments.
Over
there.
This
project,
here
a
little
filling
on
the
back
burner
a
little
bit.
We
have
to
egress
stairways
that
are
made
out
of
wood.
They
were
Brazilian.
H
Construction
was
1887
of
these
stairways,
so
we
have
some
problems
with
them.
Not
only
code
related
issues
that
we
have
to
resolve,
but
also
some
of
the
construction
materials
have
to
be
replaced.
Some
of
the
stair
stringers
some
of
the
landings,
and
we
have
to
do
a
lot
of
steel
reinforcing
in
order
to
accommodate
the
additional
loading
which
the
new
code
requires.
H
So
we
took
care
of
that.
We
utilized
our
consultant
bh
na
and
we
went
out
to
bid
in
accordance
with
chapter
149.
We
received
three
bids
on
December
28th,
2017
L&L

BC
construction
in
northern

L&L
contouring
was
the

Therefore,
we
request
respectfully
to
award

A
the
new
proposal
contemplated
eighty-seven
thousand
square
foot,
Hotel,
comprised
of
159
guest
rooms,
15
to
20
thousand
square
feet
of
neighborhood
serving
and
hospitality
amenities
along
with
a
great
parking,
460
valet
parking
spaces.
The
project
was
well
received
at
both
the
impact
advisory
group
meeting
and
the
public
meeting
held
on
October
30th.
The
comment
period
subsequently
ended
on
November
10th,
in
collaboration
with
the
IG
and
local
elected
officials.
The
proponent
has
committed
to
$65,000
in
community
benefits
to
be
distributed
through.
The
community
benefits
grants
application
process.
P
The
proposed
project
is
located
within
the
area
covered
by
planned,
South
Boston
Dorchester
Avenue,
which
was
adopted
by
this
board
in
December
of
2016.
The
proponent
has
been
working
closely
with
the
Planning
Department
to
ensure
the
project
is
consistent
with
the
goals
and
initiatives
that
were
discussed
for
the
Dorchester
Avenue
project
site.
P
The
proponent
will
contribute
a
density,
bonus
contribution,
totaling,
150
thousand
dollars
to
be
used
for
public
realm
improvements,
affordable
retail
space,
civic
cultural
art,
space
or
21st
century
industrial
space,
if
approved,
the
project
will
create
approximately
320
construction
jobs
and
over
50
permanent
jobs.
The
proponent
plans
to
commence
construction
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2018
and
is
estimating
completion
in
the
third
quarter
of
2020.
At
this
time,
I
would
like
to
introduce
Joe
Hanley
the
proponents
legal
counsel
to
further
the
project.
Asian.
Q
Just
on
behalf
of
the
developer,
I'd
like
to
say
some
words
of
thanks
to
the
senior
staff,
the
BPD,
a
to
Casey,
of
course,
and
John
Greeley
Mike
Christopher,
and
we
worked
very
hard
but
Lara
as
well
as
Sarah,
with
respect
to
the
role
in
substantial
compliance
of
this
project.
Within
this
new
planning
study
area
and
with
David
Carlson
and
the
be
CDC
as
well
as
Casey
indicated,
there's
a
lot
of
benefits
that
we
think
that
will
be
delivered
as
part
of
this
project.
Q
Most
notably
the
fact
that
it
is
the
first
hotel
project
and
commercial
project
in
the
new
South
Boston
Dorchester
Avenue
planning
study
area.
So
we
spent
a
greater
part
of
the
last
year
working
very
closely
with
Sarah
and
Laura
and
the
folks
and
the
planning
team
and
we're
really
proud
with
what
we
ended
up
with
we're
a
little
under
a
hundred
thousand
gross
square
feet.
But
we
still
went
through
the
BCDC
process
as
a
so-called
gateway
location
in
the
planning
study
area.
Q
So
I
think
what
you'll
find
is
a
design
forward
hotel
that
also
includes
key
neighborhood
serving
amenities
and
space
that
will
very
much
integrate
well
with
the
neighborhood
and
Casey.
Finally,
I
would
say,
spoke
to
job
creation,
both
short
and
long
term,
as
part
of
the
way
that
we
see
the
role
of
this
development
in
the
community.
Q
We've
worked
very
hard
to
think
about
how
wages
and
and
the
job
creation
will
work,
not
just
for
the
hotel,
but
for
the
South
Boston
community
and,
as
she
indicated,
fifty
hotel
jobs
about
three
and
a
half
million
in
annual
salaries,
seven,
probably
around
750,000
or
so
in
local
city
of
Boston
hotel
taxes
generated.
So
we
look
forward
to
to
developing
and
opening
this
this
neighborhood
service
serving
development
in
this
exciting
part
of
South
Boston,
and
appreciate
the
BPD,
a
staff
and
the
board
for
all
your
time
on
this.
Q
R
Members
of
the
board
chairman,
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
I
just
want
to
first
start
by
saying
how
excited
we
are
about
this
project,
particularly
how
it
dovetails
into
the
recently
completed
dot
F
study
in
our
compliments
to
the
BPD
a
and
the
staff
members
who
worked
on
that
it
was.
It
was
a
an
inspiring
effort
and
true
community
engagement.
It
was
really
it
was
really.
It
was
really.
R
You
know
impressive
to
watch
so
anyway,
a
few
a
few
things
I
think
Casey
went
through
the
the
general
stats
of
the
project,
so
I
won't.
I
won't
go
through
that
again,
but
we're
really
excited
about
the
community,
but
community
benefits.
This
is
going
to
afford
a
quick
look
at
the
existing
site.
Currently,
the
the
the
parcel
is
a
surface
parking
lot
with
an
1,800
square
foot,
one-story
building,
which
is
maybe
a
little
bit
of
undervalued,
and
that's
not
to
say
that
enterprise
isn't
a
great
member
of
the
community
there.
R
We're
currently
really
well-positioned
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
be
at
the
the
red
line,
the
silver
line
getting
over
to
Logan
Airport,
our
access
to
the
highways
to
downtown
back
they
Harvard
Square.
We're
also
happen
to
be
in
a
bit
of
a
these.
All
of
these
pink
dots
you
see
here
are
actually
hotel
or
hospitality
locations
throughout
the
city,
we're
in
a
little
bit
of
a
hospitality
desert
here,
and
we
think
it's
going
to
be
a
great,
a
great
amenity
for
the
neighborhood.
R
We
also
have
lots
of
kind
of
local,
zip
cars
hub
ways
and
bus
routes
that
come
through
here,
so
we
feel
really
great
about
the
ability
of
this
project
to
be
very
connective.
We're
also
proposing
a
fleet
of
bicycles
for
the
guests
of
the
hotel
that
they
can.
They
can
sign
out,
go
off.
You
know,
embark
in
the
the
rail
trails
around
the
city
and
really
kind
of
participate
in
the
city
in
a
way
other
than
getting
in
a
car.
So
having
looked
at
all
of
that,
we
started
to
think
about.
R
What's
the
best
uses
for
this
site,
hotel
really
came
to
the
top
of
the
pile
very
quickly,
but
because
we
were
limited
across
the
front
of
the
site
with
only
120
228
linear
feet
and
knowing
that
our
client
and
the
design
team
wanted
to
to
really
pack
the
site
with
lots
of
activity
and
energy,
we
decided
that
that
gives
an
opportunity
to
sort
of
start
a
start
about
start
thinking
about
building
on
the
roof
of
this
building.
So
what
that
kind
of
resulting
is
a
building
that
looks
something
like
this.
R
We've
got
a
building
that
goes
up
to
70
feet,
then
it
sets
back
per
the
guideline,
the
study
guidelines,
and
then
we
are
proposing
a
lantern
on
top,
which
is
a
rooftop
restaurant
and
event
space
with
an
outdoor
roof
deck
which
will
all
be
publicly
accessible.
So
it's
a
way
of
getting
more
retail
and
energy
on
this
site
when
we
have
a
very
limited
amount
of
site
at
Dorchester
Avenue.
R
The
second
floor
over
the
over
the
the
the
first
floor,
plinth
will
be
an
occupiable
roof
and
then
you
can
see
the
sort
of
typical
floor
where
the
hotel
rooms
are
and
we're
really
excited
about
how
those
rooms
are
kind
of
shaping
up
and
then
on
the
top
level.
Above
this
70
foot
mark
we've
got
that
roof
deck.
Here
we
see
this
is
kind
of
evening
entertainment.
R
We
see
this
is
daytime
entertainment
or
family
entertainment
here
and
then
the
restaurant
in
the
middle
and
then
one
floor
up
from
that
the
event
spaces
for
community
gatherings,
small
weddings,
maybe
even
local
community
meetings-
things
like
that
conferences.
Just
so
you
can
see
how
that
all
kind
of
lays
out
in
terms
of
the
massing.
It's
a
quick
kind
of
look
at
that,
and
one
of
things
we
really
wanted
to
do.
As
I
was
saying
earlier,
it's
activating
Dorchester
Avenue.
R
We
took
a
hard
look
at
the
the
newly
proposed
guidelines
for
streets
gates
along
Dorchester
Ave.
Having
been
the
authors
of
the
Complete
Streets
guidelines
for
the
City
of
Boston,
along
with
the
staff
of
the
BPD,
a
we
took
a
look
at
this
in
this
varies
very
slightly,
but
we
actually
love
the
improvements
here.
The
the
main
improvement
really
is
getting
bikes
up
onto
the
sidewalk
and
not
being
the
street,
so
they
can
really
be
separate
from
the
cars,
and
that
gives
a
really
much
more
meaningful
bike
lane
there.
R
So
we've
been
able
to
do
that.
This
is
a
quick
look
at
how
we're
activating
that
ground
floor.
The
just
about
the
entire
stretch
of
that
is
active,
hotel
lobby
plus
restaurant.
There
is
one
vehicle
entrance
that
you
can
see
right
here,
and
otherwise.
We've
got
a
really
well
designed
front
here,
which
I'll
show
you
a
little
more
in
a
moment
just
to
show
you
how
this
works.
We've
got
our
two
foot
buffer
for
signage
or
our
tabled
or
elevated
bike
pass.
Here.
R
We've
got
a
really
nice
buffer
of
a
planting
strip
with
trees
in
it
or
pedestrian
walkway.
Here
and
then
we
do
have
some
outdoor
table
seating
and
dining
out
you're
an
entry
into
the
lobby
right
here
so
and
then
the
vehicle
access
right
there,
just
a
quick
look
at
how
that
works.
In
section
you
can
see
how
generous
the
sidewalk
section
is
here.
We
are
slightly
elevated
up
just
to
get
ourselves
to
a
first-floor
elevation
which
is
going
to
keep
us
out
of
any
storm
surge
or
tidal
rise,
or
anything
like
that.
R
We're
really
happy
about
that.
Jason's,
a
young
client
he's
gonna
be
around
for
a
long
time
and
we
want
to
make
sure
his
building
is
functioning
well
for
many
years
to
come,
and
so
we,
this
is
just
a
very
quick
look
at
how
we're
dealing
with
that
that
that
bike
lane
that
planters
stripped
here
we've
got
a
great
seating
bench
along
almost
the
entire
length
of
this,
our
entry
here,
pedestrian
sidewalk
and
then
our
a
table
and
dining
seating
outside
rooftop
lounge
event,
one
of
the
parts
of
the
project
we're
really
excited
about.
R
You
know
this
is
a
quick
example
of
the
kind
of
spaces
we're
talking
about.
You
know
small
intimate
but
really
great
vantage
point.
Oh,
we
have
the
bus
terminal
just
across
Dorchester
a
from
us
and
beyond
that
we've
got
really
unfettered
views
to
the
Back
Bay,
which
we're
really
excited
about
so
kind
of
turning
what
was
maybe
less
of
a
maybe
a
little
bit
of
a
challenge
to
the
site
into
a
great
amenity
for
the
site.
So
a
quick
look
at
what
that
might
look
like
up
here.
R
M
R
The
moment
it
will
be
just
in
front
of
our
building
what
we're?
What
we're
hoping
is
that,
as
the
parcels
at
either
side
of
us
begin
to
develop
it,
they
will.
They
will
kind
of
lock
into
those
those
dimensions
which
are
really
previously
set
by
the
study.
It
can
be
used
in
such
a
way
that,
if
you're
coming
along
the
sidewalk-
and
you
need
to
shift
up,
we
have
the
entire
pathway
from
the
site
on
either
side
of
us
through
our
walkway
or
through
our
site,
is
completely
accessible.
M
R
This
as
we
understand
it,
so
I
won't
presume
to
totally
understand
the
study,
but
as
we
understand
it,
the
the
Goff
study
really
is
a
way
to
bolster
additional
housing
in
particularly
affordable
housing
in
the
city
of
Boston.
As
that
strip
develop
strip
develops,
we
were
concerned
that
that
that
kind
of
you
know,
new,
robust
development
of
housing
is
going
to
really
require
additional.
What
we
call
like
supplementary
or
ancillary
uses
hotel
seems
to
be
a
great
ancillary
use
for
that.
R
We
can
put
the
hotel
here
and
be
confident
that
it's
going
to
it's
going
to
work.
Well,
you
know
people
flying
in
from
other
cities,
aren't
going
to
have
a
kind
of
keen
understanding
the
landscape
of
the
city,
they're,
going
to
come,
they're
going
to
visit
the
hotel
they're
going
to
see
the
amenities
they'll
be
there,
but
it
also
offers
amenities
for
the
for
the
existing
residents
as
well
as
the
forthcoming
residents
there.
S
Laryngitis
don't
mind
me,
it
doesn't
hurt,
but
just
sounds
awful.
So
just
I
think
Michael
gave
a
good
reason
background
of
what
we
were
thinking
with
the
plan.
Tod
have,
as
you
know,
Tod
abjure
Chester.
Have
you
in
South
Boston
was
predominantly
a
job
center
in
its
heyday,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
industrial
uses
there.
A
lot
of
storage
uses
for
construction,
materials
and
so
forth.
So
this
area
has
really
got
the
opportunity
to
grow
into
not
just
that
job
center,
but
into
a
housing
center
as
well.
S
So
we
do
in
Tibbets,
anticipate
to
have
a
good
mix
and
the
plan
in
the
community
we're
very
excited
about
the
idea
of
mixing
housing
and
many
of
the
commercial
uses
that
could
be
and
on
it
as
well
when
it
comes
to
their
dimensional
guidelines.
The
the
place
making
of
this
property
of
this
project
is
exactly
what
the
community
had
discussed
him
within
the
process.
S
I'm,
really
thinking
of
a
way
to
make
it
a
24-hour
community,
seven
days
a
week,
something
that
they
can
walk
from
Andrew
Square
to
Broadway
and
actually
have
sidewalks
and
take
their
bikes
along
broad,
around
ah've
and
hopefully,
our
new
streets.
So
the
the
the
guidelines
really
have
asked
for
the
projects
to
really
form
come
together
in
a
form.
S
A
form
base
code
is
what
kind
of
we
talked
about
so
really
thinking
about
the
building,
as
what
are
its
setbacks
was
its
the
ground
plane
really
provide
to
the
to
the
community
and
the
particularly
the
pedestrian
environment.
So
this
is
the
first
stage
and
they've
really
I
really
do
commend
them
for
being
extremely
patient
through
it
with
us,
through
this
process
and
fine
developing
a
project
that
fits
into
what
the
community
envisions
for
the
area,
but
also
setting
the
stage
for
other
developments
to
follow
suit.
T
G
Q
Q
G
S
So,
through
the
planning
process,
the
area
has
minimal
street
network.
So
what
we
have,
what
they
have
planned
that
you
guys
have
adopted,
does
moralize
an
idea
of
adding
streets
and
connecting
into
the
Hall
Road
at
a
later
date.
The
MBTA
as
well
as
mass
highway,
was
very
involved
in
our
conversations
and
it's
in
preliminary
design
stage,
but
we're
hoping
that,
with
some
of
the
funding,
that's
come
in
through
other
projects.
When
we
move
into
the
transportation
study
that
the
engineering
will
be
done
to
think
about
the
haul
road
as
multi-purpose
access
point,
because.
B
D
Can
you
talk
about
the
public
acts,
access
to
the
roof
deck
you're,
calling
that
a
public
amenity?
What
does
that
mean?
Actually
is
that
means
someone
can
walk
in
off
the
street
and
take
the
elevator
up
to
the
roof
and
hang
out
and
look
at
the
city,
or
is
it
more?
Some
a
group
of
people
could
rent
it
out
like
what
what
does
it
mean
exactly
to
have
public
access
to
that
route?.
Q
Only
so
we
want
to
do
is
provide
an
opportunity
for
folks
in
the
neighborhood
to
come
up
and
enjoy
that
and
utilize
it
and
also
take
advantage
of
the
event
space
which
isn't
huge
by
convention
standards,
but
is
big
enough
to
accommodate
a
birthday
party,
your
retirement
party
and
things
like
that.
That
might
happen
in
the
neighborhood.
Thank.
S
You
I
would
just
add
to
that
to
that,
within
this
planning
study
we
one
of
the
things
we've
been
working
on
has
this
density
bonus
strategy
and
one
of
those
aspects
of
it
was
to
have
some
community
space.
This
team
actually
had
the
community
space
prior
to
us
doing
the
study
and
they're
in
their
proposal.
So
this
is
definitely
something
that
the
community
was
very
happy
for.
We
can
certainly
maybe
hold
be
PDA
public
meetings.
One

believed

the
proposed
project
is
consistent
with
the
plan.
South
Boston
Dorchester
Avenue
guidelines
that
this
board
has
adopted
after
considerable
design
review.
U
V
V
So
we
kind
of
we
kind
of
we
kind
of
stuck
our
toe
in
before
before
it
was
popular.
This
is
the
existing
site
right
here.
The
existing
building,
Gold
Street
will
be
take
relative
to
your
bridge.
Question
the
Gold
Street
section
to
this
property
dead
ends
at
the
haul
road.
We
are
going
to
do
a
taking
of
Gould
Street
and
use
that
as
the
driveway
access
to
our
property
so
that
we
don't
have
any
garage
doors
on
any
sort
of
a
Main
Street
and
additionally,
the
back
half
ago
Street
will
be
converted
into
open
space.
V
One
thing
we
wanted
to
focus
on
I
think
is
similar
hotel
is
that
we
were
reading
the
drafts
of
the
BPD,
a
document
more
or
less
the
day
they
came
out
and
III
think
it
was
a
helpful
iterative
process
between
us
and
the
staff
is
to
determine
what
the
particulars
were
and
what
the
intent
were
we're
in
a
zone
where
we
were
allowed
a
hundred
percent
lock
coverage
and
120
foot
of
height.
We
are
only
at
70
feet.
V
V
V
This
is
the
apartment
building
across
the
street
and
to
the
right
of
the
screen
would
be
the
hotel
site
we
just
spoke
of
this
is
the
Gould
Street.
This
will
be,
the
entrance
of
the
property,
will
Gould
Street
will
be
abandoned,
will
widen
it,
table
it
and
use
the
first
half
as
our
driveway,
which
we
will
share
with
the
master,
a
credit
union,
and
then
the
back
half
will
become
open
space
again.
This
is
the
back
of
the
site.
V
Point
your
might,
as
you
can
see,
the
site
is
a
first-floor
garage.
There's
the
you
can
see
the
entrance
coming
down,
Gould
Street
and
you
can
see
the
open
space
at
the
rear.
Additionally,
you
can
see
we're
exceed
foot
currently
eight-foot
sidewalk,
we're
expanding
it
to
10
feet
and
then
expanding
again.
Expanding
the
an
area
of.
V
Expanding
an
area
in
front
of
the
building
for
a
bike
storage
and
an
entry
portico.
This
is
the
front
elevation
of
the
building.
Again,
we've
tried
to
modulate
the
massing
of
the
building
into
into
vertical
pieces,
which,
more
or
less
kind
of
brick,
we
kind
of
feel
break
up.
The
the
massing
of
the
building
and,
again
there's
a
there's,
an
indentation
and
a
stair
tower,
which
allows
for
opens
additional
landscaping
space
to
be
done
on
a
second
floor,
roof
terrace.
V
This
this
was
kind
of
interesting
because
at
40,
I
think
40
or
45
feet.
You
have
to
indent
the
building
15
feet
and
then
go
up
to
70
and
indent
again.
So
what
we've
done
is
we've
kind
of
used
that
as
a
it's
kind
of
an
aesthetic
where
the
end
of
the
building,
we
think
looks,
looks
kind
of
nice.
The
way
it
kind
of
you
know,
breaks
in
and
out
we're
still
doing
a
15-foot
setback
on
Gold
Street,
although
it's
not
technically
a
street
anymore.
V
Again,
this
is
a
this
is
a
view
of
the
front
entrance
of
the
building,
adding
street
trees
bricks
along
the
pavement
bricks,
along
the
edge
of
the
street,
expanding
the
sidewalk
from
8
foot
to
10
foot
and
then
having
this
bike
every
year
and
entry
area
at
the
front
of
the
building.
It's
another
shot
of
it.
V
V
Know
he
could
hear
me.
The
facade
is
a
combination
of
masonry
at
the
first
floor
and
then
a
combination
of
different
materials
of
rainscreen
above
the
floor.
Given
the
the
lead
requirements,
we
feel
like
a
rain
screen.
Type
of
system
is
a
better
accommodation
of
ceramic
panels,
which
will
be
somewhat
manipulate.
You
know,
will
manifest
themselves
as
like
a
gray
stone
and
others
as
more
of
a
of
a
tan
or
wood
mitch
in
real
the
the
glazing
and
the
spindle
glass
again
in
between.
There
would
be
the
same
thing
same
kind.

good.
W
Evening,
chairman
Burke
Director
golden
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the
board.
The
item
before
you
this
evening
is
a
revised
plan
to
the
211
Carter
Street,
building
located
in
the
Eagle
Hill
section
of
East
Boston.
This
building
is
part
of
a
larger
overall
project,
known
as
the
187
191
and
211
condor
street
development
that
was
previously
previously
approved
by
the
board
on
June
15
2017.
W
The
building
located
at
211
Condors
tree
was
originally
approved
by
the
board
as
a
four-story,
approximately
16,000
600
square
foot,
residential
building
that
would
include
14
residential
units
in
approximately
14
off-street
parking
spaces
after
the
project
received
both
BPD
a
and
c
ba
approval.
Further
study
revealed
that
a
portion
of
the
parcel
was
subject
to
chapter
91
under
Massachusetts
General
Laws,
in
order
to
satisfy
the
requirements
of
chapter
91,
the
proposed
building
has
been
subsequently
pulled
back
from
the
edge
of
condo
street
and
away
from
the
waterfront
along
Chelsea
river.
W
As
a
result,
three
main
aspects
of
the
project
changed
and
they
are
reduction
of
two
units
bringing
the
new
unit
count
to
12.
The
number
of
parking
spaces
was
reduced
by
3
and
bringing
the
new
parking
count
to
11
and
approximately
2,600
square
feet
of
gross
floor
area
was
reduced
from
the
previously
approved
project,
resulting
in
a
thirteen
thousand
nine
hundred
square
foot
building.
W
C
A
X
X
X
D
X
I
think
a
little
bit
of
everybody
I
did
speak
with
internal
staff
here
at
the
BP
da
who
explained
to
me
that
it
is
frequently
the
case
that
the
chapter
91
map
and
the
zoning
maps
are
contiguous
and
usually
are
but
again
in
this
particular
instance
they're.
Not
so
I
guess
the
short
answer
is
it
was
an
honest
mistake
on
many
fronts
that
we
didn't
catch.
It.

Today
the
procow
services
18
individuals,
each
of
whom
is
nearing
the
end
of
their
prison
sentence
or
were
just
released.
Their
expected
length
of
stay
is
worm
a
four
or
more
months.
Brookhouse
has
the
funding
for
seven
of
the
individuals
at
this
point,
and
this

will
allow
for
the
remaining
11
to
be

through
this
time.
Okay,.
A
AA
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
board,
madam
secretary
director,
golden
I
am
Michelle
Goldberg,
the
budget
and
procurement
manager.
It
is
my
pleasure
to
present
to
you
the
FY
17
end
of
year
and
FY
18
operating
and
capital
budget
update
this
evening,
I'm
joined
by
our
controller
Bob
lui
see
we
have
a
few
slides
to
present
to
you
and
we
will
be
happy
to
take
questions
at
the
end.
Okay,.
AA
So
we'll
walk
through
FY
17
end
of
year,
then
we'll
talk
about
the
first
quarter
and
then
a
quick
capital
budget.
Fy
17
was
a
favorable
year
for
the
BPD,
a
on
the
revenue
side.
There
are
two
key
items
that
have
material
impact:
first,
the
early
payment
of
the
zoom
lease
reflected
in
rental
and
leases
category,
which
was
collected
earlier
than
previously
anticipated.
AA
Second,
the
Grant
incomes,
a
higher
revenue
than
anticipated.
Some
of
this
is
due
to
conservative
assumptions
around
owd
funding,
but
this
category
also
includes
the
intercompany
grant.
The
Edic
sends
to
the
b
ra
the
intercompany
grant
was
higher
than
anticipated
because
of
increased
investments
in
the
China
trade
building.
Further
down
on
this
table,
you
will
see
the
complementing
increase
in
expenses
in
the
contractual
Services
category.
AA
These
favorable
variances
were
slightly
offset
by
lower
than
expected
equity
participation.
This
category
uses
previous
years
as
a
foundation
for
the
projection.
Fy16
was
a
high
performing
year
and
FY
17
showed
a
decline.
You
will
see
later
on
that
this
was
taken
into
consideration
when
building
FY
18,
which
has
a
more
modest
projection.
AA
Overall
FY
17
revenue
was
driven
by
the
zoom
deal
and
the
increase
in
the
intercompany
grant
on
the
expense
side.
There
are
a
few
key
variances
worth
explaining.
The
budget
and
accounting
team
have
been
refining
categorization
practices
and
are
starting
to
see
those
changes
at
the
summary
level
in
our
FY
17
second
quarter
update.
We
mentioned
that
we
had
identified
expenses
specifically
y/o
stipends
that
were
charged
to
the
personnel
line.
They
were
actually
budgeted
in
a
non
personnel
line.
This
was
connected.
AA
Excuse
me,
this
was
corrected
in
FY
18,
but
is
the
main
driver
of
that
negative
variance?
You
see
here
in
the
personnel
line,
the
BP
da
saw
a
favorable
variance
in
employee
benefits
due
to
post
retirement
health
expenses.
That
budget
is
based
on
projections
for
future
year
costs
and,
ultimately,
actual
cost
came
and
lower
than
anticipated.
AA
The
next
category
administrative
services
also
reflects
a
favorable
variance
due
largely
to
savings
and
data
processing
and
small
variances
across
that
category.
As
mentioned
earlier,
because
we
are
looking
at
the
b
ra
and
EDI
c
from
a
combined
perspective,
the
increase
in
the
intercompany
grant
shown
in
grant
revenue
is
connected
to
the
increased
spending
in
contractual
services.
So
if
oh
wo
de
had
convert
conservative,
resolute
revenue
projections
and
received
more
funds
than
anticipated,
they
will
have
higher
spending
than
expected
to
spend
down
that
revenue.
AA
Furthermore,
if
the
b
ra
spends
more
on
china
trade,
it
will
require
additional
funds
from
the
intercompany
grant,
which
is
an
expense
for
the
EDI
C
overall,
that
five
point
six
million
dollar
variance.
That
we
see
is
the
result
of
those
two
trends
for
property
management.
Several
factors
were
at
play
in
order
to
complete
the
China
trade
project.
We
had
to
finish
up
depreciating
the
last
of
projects
at
that
site,
so
we
had
a
higher
than
anticipated
depreciation
expense.
AA
We
also
had
a
faster
than
expected
increase
in
occupancy,
which
meant
higher
than
anticipated
security
costs
and
broker
fees.
Coupling
those
trends
with
a
few
unrelated
decisions
around
increasing
with
the
reserves
for
future
bad
debt.
This
category
saw
a
sizable
variance.
Thankfully
these
were
all
one-time
expenses.
We
do
not
anticipate
this
becoming
a
trend
in
future
years
now
on
to
FY
18.
First
quarter,
FY
18
marks
the
second
year
of
a
multi-year
effort
to
improve
budget
and
accounting
practices.
AA
This
year
also
has
a
complementing
budget
book,
so
hopefully
that
will
add
great
context
to
the
numbers
you
see
before
you.
One
question
posed
at
our
budget
presentation
last
year
was:
where
do
we
plan
to
go
next
once
we
achieve
our
goals
around
combining
the
BIA
and
EDI
C
and
rethinking
categorizations
of
funds?
Well,
seasonality
is
one
of
those
areas.
The
first
quarter
includes
July,
August
and
September.
Those
months
tend
to
see
the
second
half
of
the
summer
activities
and
transition
into
fall.
AA
AA
Spending
happening
down
in
expenses
means
not
as
much
grant
income
activity
once
you
adjust
for
that
we
have
a
roughly
$600,000
favorable
variance
and
revenue,
but
we
are
aware
it's
early
in
the
year
on
the
expense
side,
all
of
the
variances
are
modest
given
the
time
of
year
and
their
annual
budgets.
I
would
note
here
that
the
BPD
a
had
budgeted
for
an
agency
way
headcount
of
242
employees
with
18
employee
employment,
service
contractors.
AA
As
of
the
last
pay
period
of
December,
which
is
the
second
quarter,
there
were
232
active
employees
and
12
employee
service
contractors.
We
tend
to
see
slow
hiring
in
the
first
half
of
the
year
and
have
had
some
attrition
related
to
retirements
and
departures.
We
currently
have
seven
positions
posted
and
several
vacancies
that
we
intend
to
post
in
the
near
future
that
242
budgeted
headcount
only
included
three
brand-new
positions,
so
we
are
working
hard
to
monitor
our
headcount
and
be
strategic
with
where
we
fill
them.
AA
AA
Our
budget
book
has
details
regarding
all
the
projects
behind
these
numbers,
but
we
are
happy
to
be
wrapping
up
the
China
trade
project
and
to
be
investing
in
the
parking
garage
and
the
Edic
Raymond
Alfred
Flynn
industrial
park.
Several
of
the
projects
outside
are
outlined
in
the
budget
book
and
they
help
address
infrastructure
affected
by
maritime
environment
along
the
water's
edge.
Indeed,
the
impact
of
recent
flooding
and
king
tides
are
examples
of
why
this
work
is
so
critical.
AA
The
city
is
partnering
with
us
in
some
of
these
efforts
and
we
have
a
10
year
capital
plan
that
aims
to
maintain
and
improve
our
infrastructure.
With
that
I'd
like
to
thank
the
accounting
team.
As
well
as
the
budget
and
accounts
payable
team
for
the
ongoing
efforts
to
provide
the
board
with
and
the
public
with,
this
information
and
Bob
and
I
are
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
might
have.
Okay,.
M
M
To
see
just
the
evolution
of
how
this
deck
has
come,
and
you
know
we're
through
the
reclass
is
where
everything
is
going
and
you
know
you
were
very
well
prepared.
Thank
you
and
I
really
appreciate
the
you
know
being
able
to
in
a
very
concise
manner
make
this
make
sense
without
with
just
hearing
what
you're
saying
thank.
Y
M
E
There
are
recently
passed
revisions
to
the
tax
code
and,
while
I
don't
expect
that
there
would
be
any
direct
impacts
on
what
we
do
in
our
operations,
I'm
curious
as
to
whether
there
was
any
sense
of
kind
of
secondary
impacts
that
might
occur
or
take
place
because
of
changes
in
the
real
estate
market
or
what's
deductible
or
those
kinds
of
factors.
Sure.
AA
You
know
Bob,
if
you
have
anything
to
add,
let
me
know,
but
I
would
say
from
a
very
high
level.
We
understand
that
the
economy
has
ups
and
downs
and
I.
Think
we've
learned
a
lot
of
lessons
from
the
last
Great
Recession,
and
you
know
all
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
here.
Investing
in
our
infrastructure,
monitoring
our
headcount
and
compiling
meaningful
data
is
going
to
put
us
in
a
position
to
make
wise
decisions
and
start
to
you
know,
make
ourselves
sustainable
so
that
we
can
survive
the
booms
and
busts.
U
A
AB
Good
evening,
in
terms
of
the
capital
budget,
one
of
the
exercises
that
we
are
taking
on
as
an
agency
is
we're
trying
to
look
further
down
the
road
than
just
this
year.
Next
year,
in
a
year
after
with
developing
a
much
more
longer-term
look
into
sustainable
revenue
and
what
we
need
to
kind
of
bring
back
into
the
asset
sections
of
of
what
sustains
us.
So
we
know
the
property
is
important.
AB
It's
on
the
waterfront
right
now,
property
management
has
developed
a
book
with
probably
200
million
dollars
of
identified,
structure
improvements
we
need
to
make
over
the
next,
probably
ten
years
or
so
so
that
and
the
changes
in
implementation
of
2030
both
key
elements
that
we
have
to
understand
better
and
try
to
roll
into
fiscal
forecasting,
so
that
we
can
make
good
long
term
planning
decisions,
and
so
that's
the
next
step
for
us
good.
All
right.
Thank.
A
You
there
any
other
further
questions.
Well,
thank
both
of
you
for
making
that
presentation.
We
appreciate
it
and
I
know
you
put
a
lot
of
work
and
effort
into
it
and
and
it's
still
evolving
the
whole
process
of
having
this
public
discussion
about
our
budget,
and
we
evacuated
and
thank
you
staff
for
us.
C
I
A
AC
You,
mr.
chairman,
and
through
you
to
the
members
first
up,
the
the
50
liberty
project
at
fan,
pier
is
a
fan.
Parentless
in
the
Seaport
is
a
three
million
square
foot
mixed-use
development
with
a
13,000
square
foot
dedicated
civic
and
cultural
space.
The
the
B
PDA
is
working
with
the
developer.
The
Fallon
company
to
seek
letters
of
interest
from
potential
users
of
this
cultural
and
civic
space.
AC
Proposals
are
due
on
the
2nd
of
February
and
appropriate
uses
for
this
space
might
be
a
library,
a
museum
gallery,
space,
a
concert
hall,
an
auditorium,
a
historical
exhibit
or
some
other
kind
of
community
center.
We
certainly
look
forward
to
these
submissions
next
month
and
a
new
use
that
helps
create
a
special
place
and
contributes
to
the
soul
of
the
Seaport.
AC
Second,
back
in
the
fall,
you
authorized
the
issuance
of
a
request
for
proposals
by
the
agency
for
one
of
its
parcels
at
parcel
12
on
Tremont
Street,
it's
down
there,
the
Wang
center
and
Tufts
Medical
in
the
theater
district.
It's
a
parking
lot
that
the
BPD
a
has
owned
and
controlled
for
a
long
period
of
time
the
RFP
was
issued.
We
have
received
one
response
to
that
RFP.
What
we
Specht
out
in
that
RFP
was
an
array
of
aspirations,
and
one
very
sophisticated
team
has
responded
to
that.
AC
Just
just
to
remind
you,
the
the
the
RFP
contemplated
the
potential
for
a
use
that
would
benefit
provide
parking
benefits
from
the
neighborhood,
also
a
significant
amount
of
affordable
housing
for
the
neighborhood
and
the
potential
for
an
increase
in
hotel
space
in
the
neighborhood.
So
this
team
has,
in
a
collaborative
fashion,
responded.
We
look
forward
to
conversations
internally
within
the
agency
and
externally,
with
the
neighborhood
in
the
weeks
to
come.
Finally,
I
want
to
say:
I
think
we
all
want
to
say
a
word
of
gratitude,
appreciation
and
farewell
to
Lara
Marita
Lara.
AC
A
M
You
know
congratulations,
but
like
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you've
done
here.
I
think
as
a
I've
learned
a
lot
from
watching
you
at
meetings
here
and
your
professionalism,
composure
and
compassion
and
an
empathy
I
think
it's
just
something
that
the
city
I
personally
and
and
so
many
people
have
have
really
been.
We've
just
been
privileged
to
to
work
with
you
so.
A
A
This
is
a
public
hearing
before
the
Boston
Redevelopment
Authority
doing
business
as
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency,
and
is
being
held
in
to
consider
one
the
housing
creation
proposal,
as
submitted
by
Children's
Hospital
Inc
and
Mission
Hill
neighborhood
housing
services.
This
public
hearing
is
required
by
the
guidelines
of
the
housing
creation
regulations.
A
This
public
hearing
was
duly
advertised
on
December
29
2017
in
the
Boston
Herald
in
a
BPD,
a
hearing
staff
will
first
present
their
case
in
a
subject
of
questioning
my
members
of
the
BPA
board
Authority
thereafter,
other
swooshes,
who
wish
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
proposed
development,
will
be
afforded
an
opportunity
to
do
so
under
the
gantt
under
the
same
rules
of
questioning
following
that.
Those
who
wish
to
speak
in
opposition
may
do
so
again
under
the
same
rules
of
questions.
Finally,
the
proponents
will
be
allowed
five
minutes
for
rebuttal
if
they
so
desire.
A
AD
You,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board
director
golden
and
secretary
Paul
Hymas,
we
were
here
this
evening
to
take
into
consideration
the
housing
creation
proposal,
as
submitted
by
Children's
Hospital
and
the
Mission
Hill
neighborhood
housing
services.
There
is
a
very
brief
presentation
about
the
project
that
is
going
to
be
supported
by
this
housing
creation
proposal,
which
is
the
parcel
25
Phase
two
I'll
say
a
few
things
about
it
right
now.
AD
We
just
say
that
it
is
a
an
affordable
housing
project
that
will
create
46,
affordable
rental
units,
all
of
which
will
be
affordable
at
area
median
incomes
of
30
percent,
60
percent
and
50
percent.
So
it's
an
all,
affordable
housing
unit.
It's
going
to
create
a
significant
amount
of
pedestrian,
walkway
and
experience
that
will
and
live
in
the
gurney
Street
area
and
the
Roxbury
crossing
area
more
about
that
later
from
the
architects.
But
the
significance
of
the
creation
of
new,
affordable
housing
in
this
district
is
very
important.
AD
A
couple
of
words
about
a
housing
creation
proposal.
Very
briefly,
a
development
entity
like
Children's
Hospital
once
with
a
housing
developer,
in
this
case
missional
Neighborhood
Housing
Services,
to
submit
a
proposal
that
enables
them
to
utilize
the
linkage
funds
associated
with
their
project
to
create
new,
affordable
housing
units
within
a
district.
The
housing
creation
process
is
managed
jointly
by
the
BPD,
a
our
sister
agency,
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
and
the
city
Boston
Treasury,
to
ensure
that
the
appropriate
amounts
are
received
and
applied
appropriately.
AD
As
part
of
this
process,
we
also
receive
a
recommendation
vote
from
the
Neighborhood
Housing
Trust,
which
actually
manages
the
linkage
funds
process
associated
associated
with
housing.
A
couple
of
words
about
the
Children's
Hospital
project
that
is
associated
with
this
particular
proposal
is
the
clinical
building
that
received
its
approvals
and
Zoning
action
support
in
December
of
2013,
and
also
the
corresponding
development
impact
project
agreement
that
informs
this
particular
transaction.
AD
The
housing
creation
proposal
itself
was
submitted
on
September
26th
by
Children's
Hospital
and
Mission
Hill
neighborhood
housing
services
to
utilize,
approximately
up
to
approximately
1.2
million
dollars
to
support
parcel
25
phase.
2
I
mentioned
earlier.
The
level
of
affordability.
That's
going
to
be
coming
out
of
this
particular
project
and
also
would
would
note
that
the
there's
a
great
deal
of
community
and
stakeholder
support
for
this
particular
development
and
also
this
particular
phase
of
the
development
represents
forward
momentum
because
phase
1
is
already
under.
AD
It
has
been
completed
and
in
falaqa
fancy
you'll
hear
more
about
that
momentarily.
That
also
includes
a
hundred
percent
affordable
rental
units,
so
the
creation
of
a
supply
of
housing
that
is
desperately
needed
in
this
part
of
the
city
is
a
very
good
story
and
we're
thankful.
Obviously,
the
Children's
Hospital
and
Mission
Neighborhood
Housing
Services
have
been
able
to
collaborate
in
this
creative
way
to
make
that
happen.
AD
The
total
development
cost
for
this
project
parcel
25
phase
2
is
approximately
21
million
dollars
again
staff
from
the
BPD,
a
DMD
and
the
City
Boston
Treasury
have
review
this
proposal
and
approved
it
and
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Housing.
Rather,
the
Department
Neighborhood
Development
worked
with
the
Neighborhood
Housing
Trust
to
approve
a
housing
trust
vote
on
December
14th,
in
addition
to
support
from
community
I,
have
two
letters:
one
from
at-large
councillor,
SIV
George
and
at-large
councilor
Pressley.
AD
What
that
help
provide
to
you
as
well
for
for
the
record
with
that
I
will
stop
this
part
of
the
presentation
that
ignol
and
acknowledged
the
presence
of
my
colleague,
Ryan
lundergan
from
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
for
the
rest
of
the
presentation
on
the
on
the
proposal
itself.
I
will
acknowledge
persons,
the
presence
of,
or
the
pardon
me
Lisa

who
was
I,
didn't
want
to
get
the
name
wrong
senior
vice
president
for
real
estate
development
with
Children's
Hospital,
as
well
as
Patricia

who's,
the
executive
director
for
Vision,
Elliott,
Housing,
Services,
okay,.
AE
Good
evening,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you.
I'm
Lisa,
Hager,
TV
senior,
vice
president
of
real
estate
planning
development
for
Boston,
Children's,
Hospital
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
hospital's
senior
leadership
to
say,
the
Boston
Children's
is
pleased
to
commit
up
to
1.25
million
from
the
Children's
Hospital
Housing
exaction
in
support
of
phase
2
of
Mission
Hill
neighborhood
housing
services
parcel
25
project.
AE
As
you
know,
this
comes
on
the
heels
of
an
earlier
payment
of
1.34
million
to
close
the
financing
gap
on
phase
1
of
this
affordable
housing
development
as
I
believe.
You
also
know
both
both
of
these
housing
creation
agreements
are
somewhat
unusual
because,
while
we've
received
city
approval
for
the
clinical
building,
that's
generating
these
housing
linkage
funds,
the
hospital
has
not
yet
received
its
building
permit
Boston
Children's
is
doing
choosing
to
do
so.
For
several
reasons.
We
know
that
Boston
is
experiences
experiencing
a
serious
shortage
of
affordable
housing
that
needs
immediate
attention.
AE
AF
Thank
you,
members
of
the
board
director
golden.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
once
again
present
to
you
our
about
our
projects
in
Roxbury
crossing
in
Mission
Hill.
My
name
is
Patricia
Flaherty
I'm,
the
executive
director
for
Mission
Hill,
Neighborhood,
Housing
Services,
we're
the
CDC,
the
Community
Development
Corporation
in
Mission
Hill.
In
addition
to
Lisa
Haggadah,
we
have
John
Reardon
from
Children's
with
us
tonight
in
we
have
Rob
Chandler
from
vide
Clancy,
our
design
team
and
he'll
walk
you
through
our
presentation.
AF
In
a
few
moments,
I
wanted
to
say
that
Children's
Hospital
has
stepped
forward
with
the
housing
creation
commitment
to
parcel
25
phase
2
project
that
continues
along
in
deep
commitment
to
the
provision
of
affordable
housing
in
the
Mission
Hill
neighborhood,
a
recognition
by
the
hospital
that
the
lack
of
affordable
housing
is
a
critical
determination.
Determinant
of
public
health.
I.
Think
I
was
saying
earlier
that
my
first
conversations
back
in
the
80s
when
we
were
first
talking
about
linkage
and
housing
creation
were
with
Ruud
ham
at
Children's,
saying.
AF
Mission
Hill,
NHS,
purchased
partial
puzzle
25
from
the
MBTA
in
2012.
It
had
been
part
of
the
quote,
unquote
plan
for
the
interstate
95
and
it
had
been
vacant
and
used
for
activities
that
were
not
community
stabilizing.
For
many
years
since
the
early
1970s,
we
were
last
before
you
with
an
extraordinary
housing
creation
proposal
from
Children's
Hospital
that
you
supported,
which
provided
1.34
million
before
children's
obligation
but
necessary
to
the
parcel
25
phase.
One.
AF
A
closing
and
I
am
happy
to
report
that
having
closed
on
construction
financing
in
July
of
2016,
we
fully
occupied
the
27,000
square
feet
office
component,
which
is
metropolitan,
Boston,
Housing
Partnership
in
November
of
2017,
and
we
fully
occupied
the
forty,
low-income
family,
rental
housing
by
the
end
of
December
2017.
So
moving
that
project
forth
means
we
have
people
living
in
housing.
AF
Today,
Eastern
Bank
has
started
their
fit
out
on
one
of
the
four
retail
spaces
at
parcel
25
phase
one,
and
we
are
working
actively
to
lease
the
remaining
three
spaces
for
the
forty,
affordable
housing
and
accessible
units
created
at
phase
one.
We
received
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
fifty-four
applications.
AF
There
were
hundreds
of
meetings
about
our
development
vision
to
recreate
this
area
and
we
enjoy
support
of
our
neighbors,
our
community-based
organizations
and
our
elected
officials
I'm
fortunate
to
live
and
work
in
a
neighborhood
where
neighbors
see
the
value
of
affordable
housing
as
a
stabilizer
for
a
community
and
an
important
way
to
ensure
the
economic
age,
racial
and
cultural
diversity
of
a
community
like
Mission
Hill,
we
is
retained.
The
design
of
parcel
25
phase
2
will
meet
the
objectives
that
came
out
of
this
community
planning
process
because
we're
not
just
building
buildings.
AF
We're
building
community
design
is
extremely
important
to
us.
We
will
have
many
fronts.
We
don't
like
to
have
backs
to
our
projects
because
we
face
many
parts
of
the
neighborhood.
There
will
be
Stoops
along
gurney
Street,
something
that
came
out
loudly
at
the
planning
process
to
increase
eyes
along
gurney
Street
and
recreate
Kearney
Street
as
a
walkable
residential
Street.
The
main
entrance
will
be
off
a
newly
created
pedestrian
Plaza
and
connect
to
the
Phase
one
building
and
then
over
to
the
Roxbury

station.
AF
We
are
committed
to
be
sustainable
and
green,
both
because
it
allows
for
healthier
homes
and
because
it
makes
for
more
affordable
long-term
operations.
We
look
for
products
that
are
durable
in
support,
hi
indoor
air
quality.
We
limit
the
kinds
of
adhesives
paints
and
materials
we
use
and
no
carpets
and
we
reached
gold,
certify
ability
at
the
Maria
Sanchez
house,
and
we
strive
to
achieve
similar
here,
I'm
now
going
to
turn
over
the
presentation
to
Rob
Chandler
from
goodI
Clancy
to
walk
you
through
the
building,
design
and
and
I.

A
AG
From
the
north,
this
is
the
footprint
of
the
proposed
phase
two
site
right
now.
It's
open
space
next
view
from
the
southwest
looking
across
the
vacant
site.
This
is
granny
Street
in
the
foreground
and
southwest
quarter
in
the
background
and
a
view
up,
gurney
Street,
with
a
senior
building
on
the
left
and
Phase
one
on
the
right.
The
Phase
two
building
will
be
just
above
that
white
SUV.
In
the
background,
this
is
the
central
court
that
that
patent
mentioned.
This
is
a
pedestrian
quarter
directly
from
the
Roxbury
crossing
entrance
to
the
T.
AG
Stop
through
the
parcel,
as
you
can
see,
through
the
middle
and
leading
into
gurney
Street.
So
it's
a
great
conduit
for
arriving
from
the
neighborhood
to
the
T.
Stop
next,
please
the
summary
that
Pat
described
and
I
believe
the
next
ones
are
views
of
the
potential
project.
One
of
the
intriguing
things
about
this
is
the
first
two
floors
are
duplexes
so
that
there
is
a
maximum
number
of
doors
and
Stoops
opening
out
onto
grinny
Street.
AG
So
there
there
are
I,
believe
seven
or
eight
doorways
opening
onto
the
street
Stoops
and
a
small
garden
associated
with
them.
That
I
think
will
make
the
that
will
some
significant
change,
the
character
of
gurnie
Street,
and
this
is
a
view
as
you've
left
the
T
stop.
Looking
towards
the
building
phase.
One
is
on
the
left
future
phase.
Three
is
above
us
on
the
on
the
right,
and
this
is
the
main
entrance.
This
is
the
sort
of
beacon
that's
lit
up
at
night.
As
you
arrived
at
the
the
project,
the
development
in
the
evening.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
We
may
have
some
questions
in
a
second,
so
just
so.
That
concludes
the
presentation.
Danes
correct.
Okay.
Now
this
should
we
have
questions
or
they
want
to
go
into
the
public
hearing,
part
of
it
public
hearing,
okay,
so
we're
gonna
give
the
opportunity
for
the
public
to
participate,
and
if
there
was
anyone
that
would
like
to
speak
in
favor
of
this
proposal,
please
step
up
state
your
name,
anyone
that
would
like
to
speak
in
favor.

support

This
project
is
very
important
to
us,
because
we
we
are
in
the
neighborhood
would
actually
just
probably
a
block
away.
Bringing
more
affordable
housing
to
the
Roxbury
crossing
area
is
important
in
terms
of
further
activating
and
enhance
in
this
area.
In
addition,
the
collaboration
between
institutions
and
the
community
is
very
essential
and
in
this
case
I
would
like
to
commend.

The

very
supportive

reiterate
her
support
for

her
disappointment
that
she
could
not
attend

will
provide
46
units
of
much-needed,
affordable
family
housing
in
a
five-story,
elevated
building
to
be
constructed
on
Kearney

This
builds
upon
the
successful
development

over
3,000
applicants
for
the
parcel
25
phase
1
project,
clearly
showing
that
there
is
a
continued
need
for
affordable
housing.
This
project
will
continue

the
board
of
the
back
of
the
hill
CDC,
which
last
Tuesday
night
voted
to
support.
The
funding
for
this
project
and
I
would
like
to
quickly
read
a
letter
which
we
sent,
urging
the
DND
and
DHCD
to
support
it
on
behalf
of
the
Board
of
Directors,
of
the
back
of
the
Hill
Community
Development
Corporation
I
am
writing
to
express
a
strong
support
for
the
proposal
for
funding
for
parcel
25
phase
2
at
Roxbury
crossing
has
put
forth
by
Mission
Hill
NHS
in
their
application.
AJ
Members
of
our
board
have
been
participants
in
the
planning
organized
by
Mission
Hill
NHS.
Since
the
beginning
of
the
process.
This
proposal
is
in
keeping
with
the
community's
vision.
It
will
be
all
residential
and
continued
the
desire
to
recreate
granny
Street
as
a
walkable
residential
street.
The
proposal
will
provide
46
units
a
much
needed,
affordable
family
housing.
The
proposed
transit
oriented
development
calls
for
desperately
needed
new,
affordable
housing.
The
proof
is
in
the
3,154
applications
for
housings
in
the
phase
1a
project.
So
clearly
there
is
an
enormous
need.
AJ

Mr.

my

Lisa

here
on
behalf
of
representative
Jeffrey
Sanchez,
who
unfortunately
was
not
able
to
make
it
I
just
want
to
say
for
the
record
that
the
representative
is
100%
behind
this
proposal.
He
has
been
involved
in
this
for
decades
and
is
so
happy
to
see
this
Kleber
raishin
between
children's
in
NHS
and
I
do
have
a
letter
with
his
words,
for
the
record
so
I'll
hand
that
to
the
clerk
thank.
AK
My
name
is
Susan
st.
Clair
I
live
on
Mission
Hill.
Excuse
me
since
1970,
and
it's
a
fantastic
neighborhood
and
I'm
on
the
board
of
NHS
and
I
was
here
last
probably
when
we
were
talking
about
the
senior
building
and
the
senior
building
was
affordable,
housing
and
people
who
are
living
there
now
and
it's
not
just
an
apartment.
It's
a
community
and
there's
artwork
and
then
people
come
to
see
the
art
show
that
the
seniors
did
and
they're
just
so
happy.
AK
It's
just
a
wonderful
thing,
and
now
we're
going
into
phase
two
when
that'll
be
46
units
and
there's
a
lot
of
development.
All
around
Mission
Hill,
Fenway,
they're,
building
apartments,
South
Huntington
Avenue
was
filled
with
apartments,
but
they're
not
affordable
housing
and
that's
clearly
what
people
need.
One
of
my
sons
is
in
his
30s
and
he
wanted
to
stay
in
the
area
and
he
could
not
find
that
he's
married.
He
couldn't
find
anything
that
they
could
afford
and
now
he's
in
Florida,
my
other,
my
oldest
son.
AK
He
was
married
and
they
were
expecting
their
first
baby
in
the
beginning
of
the
80s
and
they
were
still
living
with
me.
But
we
couldn't
all
stay
there
with
the
baby
and
everything.
So
at
the
time
the
back
of
the
hill
was
first
developing,
the
first
affordable
houses
and
they
got
one
of
those
and
they've
just
been
stable
ever
since,
when
they
had
four
children,
they
moved
out
and
they
have
a
house
in
another
neighborhood.
But
it's
a
very
supportive
project
and
anything
that
you
contribute
would
be
fantastic.
AK
AL
AL
What
I'd
like
to
try
and
convey
to
you
is
how
important
this
project
has
been
to
the
community
and
how
much
the
community
has
been
involved
in
its
planning
and
in
all
the
changes
we've
had
to
go
through
to
actually
make
it
happen.
We've
been
working
on
this
project
for
more
than
15
years,
I
told
you
when
we
purchased
the
land
from
the
MBTA.
This
was
a
neighborhood
driven
planning
process.
AL
It
involved
hundreds
of
people,
it
went
on
for
probably
two
years
and
then
the
financial
crisis
in
oh
seven,
oh
eight
hit
and
that
derailed
everything
and
we've
been
reinventing
and
coming
back
ever
since
the
first
way
we
came
back
was
the
senior
building.
That's
not
how
we
thought
this
was
going
to
work
out.
AL
We
thought
we
were
going
to
have
a
large
office
component
and
that
would
be
the
the
generator
that
it
kicked
off
everything
and
instead
because
of
funding
and
approvals
from
DND
and
from
you
folks
years
back,
we
were
able
to
build
the
senior
building
and
every
time
we
thought
we
had
a
plan,
we've
had
to
modified
and
work
on
it.
We've
gone
back
to
the
neighborhood
we've
gotten
their
sign-off.
We've
come
back
to
you
and
you've
helped
us
with
this
proposal.
We're
now
up
to
phase
two.
AL
It
wouldn't
happen
without
Children's
Hospital
frankly,
and
we
thank
everyone,
so
I
just
want
to
say
we
need
this
proposal
we're
going
to
keep
at
it.
We've
got
more
in
the
pipeline
when
we
want
you
to
support
that
too,
but
we
want
you
to
know
that
the
community
is
behind
this.
It's
a
community
plan
and
it
really
wouldn't
happen
with
children's
and
without
your
support.
So
thank
you.
Okay.
Thank.
A
E
E
AD
You
mr.
Lyons
Marc,
if
I
may,
mr.

quickly

you

G
Janet,
while
I'm
fighting
some
laryngitis
so
bear
with
me,
I
eventually
will
get
to
a
question,
but
I
have
a
couple
of
comments
to
make
Children's
Hospital.
No
doubt
phenomenal
would
not
only
in
health
care,
arguably
the
best
in
the
world,
but
also
when
they
construct
their
buildings.
They
do
so.
You
know
they
hire.
Contractors
that
are
responsible
participate
to
apprenticeship
programs,
their
employers
of
healthcare.
G
The
employers
have
retirement
plans
and
they
should
be
commended
for
it
and
as
Wentworth
and
others
Mission
Hill
I'm,
not
sure
which
person
was
here
for
Mission
Hill
neighborhood
users.
So
eventually
we'll
have
a
question,
but
I
have
some
comments
and
while
I
was
here,
I
was
online.
Looking
at
some
statistics
on
one
gurney
sheet,
we
you
were
in
part
of
one
grantee
shape
so
as
I
go
through
the
stats
on
one
gurney,
Street
I
find
some
real
troubling
statistics
right,
so
affordable
housing.
G
We
need
affordable
housing
because
people
can't
afford
housing,
but
it
seems
pretty
elementary.
The
reason
they
can't
afford
houses
because
they
don't
make
enough
and
it's
not
because
they
can't
buy
in
the
waterfront
when
I
bought
my
first
house
35
years
ago,
I
didn't
look
in
Beacon,
Hill
I,
just
that's
not
where
I
might
make
my.
H
G
And
and
so
and
so
forth,
but
I
could
purchase
a
house
on
my
salary
as
an
electrician,
in
South,
Boston
and
mm-hmm
and
I
had
to
work
a
couple
of
jobs,
but
so
on
and
so
forth.
But
the
reason
of
housing
isn't
affordable.
People
don't
make
enough
money,
so
it's
chicken
egg
yeah,
and
if
we
obviously
people
made
more
money,
maybe
we
wouldn't
need
as
much
affordable
housing.
So
it
brings
me
to
my
comments
and
eventually
the
question.
The
one
granny
Street
project,
these
projects.
G
G
Central
glass
had
zero
minority
hours,
zero
female
hours,
the
piledrivers,
zero
minority,
zero
female
Cova
net
fire
protection,
zero
female
hours,
diaz
construction
when
it
came
to
their
carpentry
work,
zero
resident,
zero
minority,
zero
female.
This
cement
work,
zero
female,
the
laborer
work,
zero
female
G
Burnett,
the
roofing
company
that
worked
for
you,
one
gurney,
zero
resident
hours,
zero
female
house,
Glen
electric,
my
trade.
G
They
had
12%
resident
hours,
six
point:
six
percent
female
hours,
Haywood
Baker,
the
equipment
operating
company,
zero
resident
I
was
zero
female
hours,
diaz
construction,
their
cement,
finishing
work,
zero
resident
hours,
zero
female
house,
so
the
total
project
of
one
gurney
had
8
percent
female
hours,
34
percent
resident
hours.
I
think
you
can
do
better
and
I'd
like
to
know
how
you're
going
to
do
better.
I
know:
I
have
friends
that
live
in
that
neighborhood
in
this
neighborhood
that
are
out
of
work.
Not
out
of
work
today
have
been
out
of
work.
G
Well,
certainly
out
of
work
when
one
gurney
street
was
going
on
and
they
didn't
benefit
and
it's
their
neighborhood,
it's
their
city,
lifelong
residents,
and
if
34
percent
of
that
project
was
residents,
that
means
66
percent
of
it
were
people
that
didn't
live
in
the
city.
So
what's
the
commitment
and
what
are
you
going
to
do
better?
Well,.
AF
I
guess
I
will
say
that
we,
we
don't
have
the
final
numbers
from
that
project,
we're
still
in
the
process
of
closing
out,
but
we
felt
like
we
working
with
the
jobs
folks
here
in
the
city,
we
came
close
to
meeting
the
goals.
I
understand
what
you're
saying.
We
also
had
section
3
goals
and
we
did
hire
local
folks
from
Alice
Taylor.
As
laborers
I
will
say
that
that
has
happened.
We
did
work
closely
with
the
Carpenters
Union
and
did
have
at
our
construction.
AF
We
had
a
union
contractor
for
elevator
and
we
had
a
union
contractor
a
union.
This
was
a
union
issue,
no
I
get
that
but
I'm
just
saying
that
those
are.
We
tried
to
do
a
mix
of
union
and
we
try
to
do
a
mix
of
non-union
and
we
worked
with
a
GC
who
we
believe
worked
with
us
to
come
up
with
an
advertising
plan
and
did
a
reach
out
plan.
AF
If
we
can
sit
with
the
city,
if
has
additional
section
three
and
minority
contractors
and
women
contractors
that
we
can
add
to
the
mix,
we
will
clearly
do
so.
I
come
from
a
union
family
and
I.
Come
from
a
city
of
Boston
worker
family
I'd
like
to
continue
that
we
on
both
the
senior
building
where
we
worked
with
built
right
construction,
we
had
better
numbers
than
we
had
on
phase
one.
We
worked
with
any
I
general
contractors
on
phase
two
I
know
they're
doing
a
lot
of
projects
in
the
city.

Mr.
Monahan,
what
I
would
say
your
point
is
well-taken
and
from
the
BP
day
perspective,
obviously
we
would
work.
I
would
certainly
think
and
would
have
as
a
goal
for
us
to
make
sure
we
connect
this
development
team
with
the
city
of
Boston's
jobs.
Department
are
certainly
working
with
our
compliance
department
etc
to
work
to
increase
those
numbers.
Your
is
like
an
extremely
valid
point
and
given
the
fact
that
there's
a
lot
of
public
dollars
being
associated
with
this
project,
given
the
fact
that
there
is
you
know,
city,
money,
etc.

I
will
say:
our
goal
is
to
hire
neighborhood
people.
There
used
to
be
a
time
in
Mission
Hill,
where
we
would
say
we
have
a
project
and
people
would
show
up
we've
had
we
did
have
a
lot
of
walk-ins.
We
did
work
with
those
walkins
to
get
hired.
A
few
of
them
are
going
to
continue
to
work
with
the
general
contractor,
but
they're
not
in
the
skilled
labor
positions.
Those
walkins
that
we
received
I'm.
G
AF
The
city
right
and
I'm
saying
that
and
I
am
committing
that
we
would
gladly
take
any
best
practices
and
language
to
make
sure
that
we're
putting
forth
to
the
to
the
contractors
to
the
general
contractors
who
are
looking
at
this
project,
the
kinds
of
hiring
practices
we
want
to
see.
We
have
been
using
the
language
that
the
city
requires
related
to
that
and,
if
you're
asking
us
to
do
more,
we'd
like
to
do
more,
we
we
do
believe,
and
people
from
my
staff
are
here
who
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
the
site.
