The
program
not
only
generates
revenue
for
the
agency,
but
it
helps
the
municipal
protective
service
in
bb-be
PDA
operation
staff
by
dissuading
passengers
from
meandering
around
an
active
industrial
park.
Operationally
we
have
done
this
in
10
consecutive
years.
We
feel
that
we've
worked
the
kinks
out
and
it's
fairly
routine.
For
that
reason,
we're
requesting
permission
advertised
for
the
trolley
stop
program
for
the
2019
cruise
season,
with
options
to
extend
for
2020
and
2021
cruise
seasons
at
the
discretion
of
the
director.
Okay,.
D
A
H
You,
mr.
chairman,
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary
staffer
record,
requesting
authorization
to
issue
an
RFP
to
assist
with
the
recruitment
of
an
executive
search
firm
to
assist
with
the
identification
of
candidates
to
fill
the
role
of
Director
of
Planning.
In
just
a
few
moments,
you
will
be
asked
to
vote
to
accept
the
resignation
of
Sarah
Meyerson,
who
has
served
in
this
role
for
the
past
four
years,
and
we
would
like
to
begin
the
formal
recruitment
process
immediately.
H
The
request
before
you
will
allow
the
agency
to
utilize
the
expertise
of
experienced
outside
firms
that
specialize
in
recruiting
executive
level
positions,
and
we
look
forward
to
beginning
this
process
we're
hoping
to
fill
the
position
in
a
timely
fashion
so
that
we
can
continue
to
build
upon
the
progress
of
the
past
several
years.

Thank

The
item
before
us
has
articulated,
is
to
look
at
the
tentative
designation
for
Madison
travel
as
the
redevelop
ur
for
two
reasons.
Number
one
Madison
CDC,
which
is
one

is
looking
at
the
further
development
completion
of

analysis
to

feasibility
and
move
forward
with
any
appropriate
changes,
part
of
which
will
be
the
inclusion
of
some
residential.
That's
point
number
one
point
number
two
is
the
fact
that,
well
that
portion
of
parcel

is
not
been
utilized
for
development.

Any
questions

A
O
Afternoon,
chairman
Burke
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the
board.
The
item
before
you
this
afternoon
is
the
proposed
tenth
aber
Street
project
and
the
Dudley
square.
Section
of
Roxbury
project
site
currently
consists
of
approximately
nine
9150
square
feet
of
vacant
land
located
at
6/10,
Taylor,
Street
short
distance
away
from
the
bolan
building
and
Dudley
square.
The
proposal
before
you
today
consists
of
the
construction
of
a
six-story
mix
use
building
with
45
residential
condo
units,
including
six
IDP
units,
approximately
1,800
square
feet
of
ground
floor
retail
space
and
10
off-street
parking
spaces.
O
With
respect
to
the
article
80
process,
the
proponent,
the
proponent
formally
began
the
small
project
review
process
when
they
filed
a
review
application
with
the
BPD
a
on
November
13
2018,
which
triggered
a
public
comment
period
which
concluded
on
january
4
2019.
During
that
time,
the
BPD
sponsored
and
held
a
public
meeting
on
December
11th
2018
at
Dudley
cafe
located
a
short
distance
away
from
the
project
site.
O
Additionally,
as
a
result
of
input
from
the
community,
BPD
and
city
staff,
the
proponent
agreed
to
a
number
of
community
benefits,
including
a
commitment
to
resurfaced
Taylor
Street,
which
has
an
estimated
cost
of
approximately
$25,000
reconstruction
of
the
entire
sidewalk
on
the
side
of
Taylor
Street,
where
the
proposal
is
located
and
approximately
5
to
5
thousand
dollar
commitment
for
a
public
art
display
on
site
or
elsewhere.
Close
proximity
to
this
site.
P
Thank
you
very
much
good
afternoon.
I'll
go
through
these
few
slides
here
briefly
and
take
questions
later.
Should
there
be
any
as
Raul
stated,
we're
right
down
the
street
from
the
bowling
building.
Tabor
is
perpendicular
to
the
very
fine
Bruce
bowling
building
and
we
show
those
pictures
here.
So
as
a
way
of
locating
our
site
as
the
upper
left
side,
the
building
would
be
on
the
Left
there's
a
Oh
15
year
old,
three-story
new
building
on
the
left
and
our
building
would
start
at
the
end.
Q
P
P
On
Warren
Street
will
look
like
this.
It's
fairly
simple,
all
masonry
construction,
the
Tabor
Street
View,
is
here
all
the
way
to
the
right
are
the
is
the
garage
entrance
and
then
centrally
is
a
entrance
into
our
elevator
lobby,
and
then
we
have
our
retail
space
in
me
to
be
on
the
left.
On
the
lower
level,
we
have
five
floors.
Nine
units
per
floor,
two
bedrooms
at
either
end
and
filled
with
ones
from
one
end
to
the
other.
There
are
small
terraces
on
the
second
floor,
roof
that
sets
us
apart
from
our
neighbors
building.
P
This
is
a
view
from
Palmer
Street
and
a
section
of
the
property
here.
Here's
a
rendering
balding
building
on
the
left
and
our
building
known
as
ten
Taylor
Street,
is
on
the
right
side
here
and
we're
looking
toward
downtown
at
this
point,
and
the
idea
is
to
have
complimentary
masonry
of
the
lighter
tones
that
exist
in
the
bowling
building
and
some
of
the
more.
P
Masonry
detail,
so
here
is
the
front
on
Washington
and
Warren.
Looking
off
to
the
left
is
our
new
building
and
again
this
is
the
from
Warren
looking
down
caber
Street
and
that's
a
view
of
what
we
expect
us
to
come
out.
Looking
like
so
it's
some
small
base
to
add
interest
and
set
up
a
nice
rhythm
along
Tabor
Street,
so
that
wraps
up
my
presentation.
Okay,.
A
S
You,
mr.
chairman,
good
afternoon,
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the
board
on
October
4th
2018
helm,
Investment
LLC
filed
a
small
project
review
application
with
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency,
proposing
the
construction
of
a
new
three-story
21
unit
residential
building
totaling,
approximately
30
1216
gross
square
feet
at
50,
Steadman
Street
in
Jamaica
Plain.
S
At
present,
the
section
of
Steadman
Street
upon
which
the
project
site
is
located
is
largely
industrial
and
unimproved
helm.
Investment
LLC
was
also
the
proponent
of
the
28
units,
76
Stoney
Road
project,
which
was
approved
by
this
board
on
November
17
2016
and
is
currently
under
construction.
76
Stoney
Road
is
located
directly
across
from
57th
Street,
but
since
the
prior
front,
only
Road
the
addresses
differ,
given
the
shared
interest
of
the
proponent
in
both
properties
and
their
subsequent
projects,
project
scuse
me
and
the
existing
conditions
of
50
Steadman
Street
instead
ministry
as
a
whole.
S
The
conversations
around
50
Steadman
were
very
much
in
sync.
With
the
discussion
in
review
of
76
Stoney
Road
plan,
JP
rocks
identified,
Stony
Brook
neighborhood
East,
within
which
50
Stedman
Street
is
located
on
the
lower
kind
of
right-hand
side
that
pink
shaded
area
as
one
of
four
areas
for
suggested
changes
from
the
base
zoning.
The
plan
recommends:
conversion
of
Stony
Brook,
neighborhood
East
from
local
industrial
to
3f
4,000,
to
reinforce
existing
residential
uses
along
Stedman
and
plain
field
streets.
S
The
plan
also
recommends
the
gradual
transition
from
mid
and
low-rise
buildings
to
the
existing
neighborhood
character
of
2
&
3
family
homes.
As
such
BPD,
a
staff
feels
that
the
proposed
50
Stedman
Street
project
is
consistent
with
context
envisioned
for
this
area
under
plan
GOP
rocks.
The
proponent
has
committed
to
significant
public
realm
improvements
around
the
project
locus
which
will
result
in
the
far
better
landscape.
S
For
this
section
of
Steadman
Street
new
sidewalks
will
be
constructed
along
the
proposed
project
side
of
Stebbins,
which
will
complement
the
new
sidewalks
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
street
to
be
constructed
as
part
of
the
76th.
Only
Road
project,
crosswalk
striping,
will
be
done
at
the
intersection
of
Stedman,
Street
and
Brooklyn
in
the
road
on
this
section
of
Stedman
Street,
which
has
been
traversed
by
trucks
and
industrial
vehicles
for
many
years
will
be
rebuilt.
S
I'd
like
to
acknowledge,
will
puff
Webster
from
City
Councilor
amount
of
alleys
office,
alexander
valdez
for
the
mayor's
office,
neighborhood
services
and
BPD,
a
staff
marine
Mercurio,
Jim,
Fitzgerald,
Matt,
Martin
and
Michael
canoe
Zoo,
who
all
contributed
positively
to
the
proposed
project
before
you
this
evening,
which
I'm
pleased
to
recommend
for
this
board's
approval
like
to
introduce
Lucho
Trabuco
project,
architect,
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
The
board
may
have.
T
T
So
at
14,000
square
foot
lot
and
the
buildings
that's
the
first
floor
is
seven
thousand
three
hundred
square
feet.
Seven
thousand
eight
hundred
four
in
the
additional
floors,
with
a
total
of
20
thousand
eight
hundred
forty-seven
square
feet.
The
park
in
the
21
parking
spaces
on
the
ground
floor,
and
it's
also
this
charging
station
as
well
as
bike
racks
of
each
parking
level.
T
This
is
a
site
site
again
is
50
years
in
the
red
shade
the
steadman
easy
access
to
Berkeley
Street,
which
leads
to
a
question
street
one
of
the
major
roads
in
Boston
I,
also
within
walking
distance
to
the
fall
still
orange
line,
as
well
as
the
commuter
rail
the
site
is
surrounded
by
the
multi-family
building.
That's
under
construction
right
now,
there's
a
Construction
Yard
to
the
left
to
the
right
side
of
the
building
into
the
rear
side
is
a
three-decker
residential
neighborhood.
T
Again,
the
ground
floor
is
it's
about
two
feet
below
grade
the
reason
for
that
is
because
of
the
high
water
table.
We
the
reason
I
put
all
those
dimensions.
That
was
one
of
the
conversation
we
had
with
the
barrels,
as
well
as
the
Stony
Brook,
no
liberal
Association.
We
met
all
their
requirements
for
the
setback
of
the
structure.
T
The
structure
itself
is
basically
designed
to
complement
the
three
Decker's.
We
should
predominant
their
area.
We
introduced
tubes
on
the
lower
levels
and
as
well
as
balcony.
The
upper
levels
to
facilitate
interaction
of
the
new
tenants
would
be
residential
neighborhood.
There's
the
residential
entrance
on
the
left
hand,
side
and
parking
entrances
to
the
right
size.
You
know,
keeping
apart

B
Thank
You
Lance
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board
and
Madam
Secretary
I'm
Lisa
Albertini,
president
of
the
planning
office,
verben
of
frit
affairs
and
I'm
here
with
Karen
Lou
Fraser,
who
is
the
president
of
st.
Francis
house.
We
are
two
nonprofits
that
have
come
together
to
help
the
city,
provide
badly
needed,
affordable
housing
and
to
further
our
missions
at
this
location,
st.
B
Francis
house,
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
know
this,
but
it
is
the
largest
day
shelter
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
our
office
has
developed
over
1,000
units
of
affordable
and
mixed
income
housing
in
the
city.
We
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
come
before
the
board
today
for
the
article
80
component
of
the
41,
the
grain
Street
proposed
project.
This
is
a
very
important
development
with
nearly
50
percent
of
its
units
as
affordable,
and
this
rapidly
changing
in
gentrifying
area
of
the
city.
B
I
did
want
to
note
that,
in
addition
to
the
meetings
in
Chinatown
that
were
noted
in
the
board
memo,
we
also
met
with
the
Midtown
Park
Plaza
Neighborhood
Association,
and
had
a
very
positive
and
productive
welcome
there.
So
again,
we
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
consideration.
We
are
here
with
our
legal
counsel
in
our
consultant
and
our
architectures
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
and
I
would
like
to
just
introduce
Jade
Szymanski
from
the
architectural
team.
V
So
the
project
is
located
on
the
Green
Street
we're
a
mid
block
between
Washington
Street
and
Tremont
Street.
The
site
is
rather
tight.
It's
8,500
square
feet
or
bound
by
the
Kensington
to
the
east,
to
the
north,
by
48
Boylston
Street
into
the
west
by
4755,
Lagrange
Street,
which
is
a
proposed
project.
That's
been
approved
by
the
board.
V
My
ground
floor
includes
residential
entrance
to
the
right
side
leads
into
a
residential
Lobby
and
the
balance
of
the
space
is
residential
amenity
space.
So,
on
the
street
side,
we
have
a
community
room,
a
fitness
center
in
a
management
office
to
the
rear
of
the
site.
We
have
all
of
the
back
of
house
operations
so
that
the
trash,
the
loading,
the
mechanical
spaces,
so
all
of
the
service
will
happen
by
a
Lowell
Court
to
the
back
of
the
building.
V
V
And
this
is
the
West
elevation
where
we're
hard
up
against
the
47
Ligurian
Street
project.
It's
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
the
streetscape.
The
concept
here
was
to
provide
as
much
transparency
as
possible
on
the
ground
floor
so
that
those
residential
amenity
spaces
on
the
inside
provides
some
life
and
vitality
to
the
sidewalk,
provide
eyes
on
the
street
to
make
it
a
safer,
more
pleasant,
pedestrian
experience.
V
We
are
doing
some
improvements
to
the
sidewalk.
The
sidewalk
gets
deepened
and
we're
proposing
some
new
paving
and
some
planters
at
the
entrance.
There's
some
aerial
images.
You
can
see
our
building
there
again
in
relation
to
the
Kensington
and
Judy
proposed
47
Lagrange
Street
projects
in
another
aerial
from
the
north
side.
A
Item
number
17
requests
authorization
to
Cole
petition
to
Boston
public
improvements;
Commission
discontinue
a
portion
of
a
pedestrian
easement

to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
to
a

for
the
approval
of
a
grant
of
easement
and
to
take
all
related
actions.

again
Madam
Secretary
members
of
the

on
Block
F
of
the
Seaport
square
project.
In
connection
with
the
construction
of
this
new
head
house,
the
developer
has
worked
closely
with
the
city
of
Boston's
public
Improvement
Commission
to
amend
an
existing
pedestrian

S
The
Boston
Redevelopment
Authority
holds
a

interest
in
a
portion
of
block
F
of
Seaport
square,
upon
which
District
Hall
is
located
and,
as
such
is
required
to
act
as
a
co

to
the
public
Improvement
Commission
for
the
discontinuance
of
certain
portions
of
the

Both
matters
will
be
discussed
at
a
public
Improvement

Okay,.
A
A
A
Request

article
80,
section
80
e.
Six
of
the

W
Afternoon
mr.
chair
members
of
the
board
and
Madam
Secretary,
the
project
before
you
is
one
on
one
Condor
Street
in
East
Boston.
It
is
a
small
project
consisting
of
18
condominium
units,
two
of
which
will
be
IDP
with
18
parking
spaces
at
ground
level.
It
will
be
a
four-story
building
at
39
feet
in
height,
made
up
of
approximately
20,000
453
square
feet.
The
current
site
includes
an
autobody
garage
and
an
urban
farm.
W
The
project
was
filed
on
December
5th
2018,
with
the
common
period
ending
on
January
25th
2019,
one
public
meeting
was
held,
which
was
lightly
attended.
The
project
has
received
support
from
the
Eagle
Hill
Civic
Association,
as
well
as
all
the
local
elected
officials.
The
total
development
cost
for
the
project
is
4.5
million.
At
the
request
of
the
community,
the
development
team
has
agreed
to
a
$20,000
payments
of
the
Boston
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
for
the
upkeep
and
maintenance
of
Prescott
Park
in
the
Eagle
Hill
neighborhood
of
East
Boston.
W
X
Good
afternoon,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary
Richard
Lin's
245
Sumner
Street
East
Boston,
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner.
Mr.
chairman,
as
michael
indicated,
this
is
a
project
that's
located
in
the
Eagle
Hill
section
of
East
Boston.
The
proposal
is
to
convert
an
existing,
which
is
the
property
uses,
existing
auto,
auto
repair
garage
and
tow
lot
to
residential
use.
X
Presently,
in
keeping
with
that
trend,
this
project
it
proposes
to
convert
this
site
to
entirely
residential
use,
with
18
units
total
in
18
parking
spaces,
two
of
those
units
being
IDP
this
project
as
Michael
as
indicated
as
undergone
a
thorough
community
process.
We
did
have
direct
outreach
with
the
butters,
as
well
as
the
Eagle
Hill
Civic
Association,
all
of
which
express
support
to
convert
this
site
from
an
industrial
use
to
a
more
compatible
residential
use.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
bring
up
Shea
Losey,
who
can
walk
through
the
building
program
and
design.
Y
A
named
Shane
low
C
with
human
company
architects,
so
this
is
some
site
context.
The
existing
one-story
building
on
the
corner
of
Brooks
and
Condor
is
where
our
site
is
across
the
street.
There's
a
large
four-story
building.
It
was
previously
an
industrial
use
so
as
tall
ceilings,
so
there's
probably
about
11
to
12
foot
flow
to
floors
on
that
building,
so
our
building
will
actually
be
lower
than
the
one
across
the
street.
Y
As
you
go
up,
Brook
Street,
you
can
kind
of
see
the
lower
urban
fabric,
there's
a
one
and
a
half
story
house
behind
our
project
and
then
another
two
and
three
storey
buildings
up
on
the
hill.
There's
about
a
story,
difference
on
the
slope
up,
Brook
Street
from
Shawn
doing
so
from
the
front
of
the
lot
to
the
back
of
the
lot.
Where
lose
about
ten
feet.
Y
This
is
looking
at
the
site
from
the
other
direction
down
condor
next
door.
We
have
two
and
a
half
story
house,
that's
to
the
right
of
our
lot.
Again.
You
see
the
one-story
garage
building,
that's
in
our
site
now
and
then
the
urban
farm.
Behind
it
our
ground
floor,
we
have
18
parking
spaces
accessed
off
Condor,
like
I,
said
the
site
slopes,
so
the
back
of
this
garage
will
all
be
underground
and
then
on
the
corner.
We
have
a
large
entry
Lobby
just
to
kind
of
activate
the
pedestrian
fabric
along
that
sidewalk.
Y
So
our
front
elevation,
we
kind
of
used
the
massing
to
mimic
the
rhythm,
that's
a
long,
Condor
Street.
Now
so
there's
a
lot
of
groups
of
houses
that
are
the
same
with
small
spaces
in
between.
So
we
have
the
three
largest
spaces,
the
three
larger
elements
in
our
building
and
then
the
darker
recessed
elements
to
kind
of
mimic
that
existing
massing
that's
along
the
street
and
then,
as
we
go
off
Brook
Street.
We
take
our
massing
down
to
get
within
the
context
of
smaller
housing.
Y
That's
on
that
side
of
the
project
and
then
the
rear
and
there's
a
rendering
of
the
project
back
in
that
additional
context
photo
we
had
so
looking
at
that
corner.
Of
course
you
see
how
we
kind
of
stuff
the
building
down
as
we
go
up
Brooks
to
work
within
that
existing
fabric
and
a
lock
on
door.
How
many
other
way
you
can
see?
The
building
I
spoke
up
to
the
left
earlier,
we're
below
that
elevation.
F
Y
There's
several
on
Condor
right
in
this
area
and
it's
all
within
the
scale
of
those
those
projects
so
we're
within
what
the
development
is
becoming
on
this
stretch
of
Condor,
and
we
actually
gave
a
little
back
on
the
sidewalks
to
get
Complete
Streets
and
they
were
bringing
the
street
trees
to
try
to
work
within
that
to
work
within
there's
not
much
on
this
street
right
now
for
livelihood
and
pedestrian
friendliness.
So
the
other
side
is
kind
of
all
industrial
and
then
open
to
the
water.
So
we're
trying
to
bring
some
life
into
it.
A
O
Good
afternoon,
chair
and
Burkman
secretary
members
of
the
board,
the
item
before
you
this
afternoon
is
the
proposed
nine
Chelsea
Street
project
located
in
the
Maverick
square
section
of
East
Boston.
The
project
site
consists
of
approximately
18,000
understand
hundred
seventy-five
square
feet
of
vacant
land
located
at
the
intersection
of
Chelsea
Street
and
Maverick
Street.
With
a
short
distance
of
the
Maverick
blue
line,
T
station,
the
site
was
last
occupied
by
the
funk
Funeral
Home
and
three
adjoining
buildings
on
maverick
Street,
all
of
which
have
been
demolished.
O
The
proposal
before
you
today
calls
for
the
construction
of
a
three-story,
retail
and
commercial
building,
with
approximately
39
thousand
square
feet
of
retail
space
and
five
officer
E
parking
spaces.
The
proponent
formally
began
the
article
80
review
process
when
they
filed
a
review
application
with
the
BPD,
a
On
June
6
2017
I
was
triggered
a
comment
period
that
concluded
on
July
7
2017.
O
During
that
comment
period,
the
BPA
sponsored
and
held
a
public
meeting
on
June
29th
at
the
Maverick
landing
community
room
in
East
Boston
as
a
result
of
the
community
input
in
feedback
that
was
expressed
at
that
time.
The
proponents
subsequently
submitted
an
amended
review
application
to
the
BPD
On
January
30th
2019,
in
response
to
the
feedback
that
was
shared
at
that
time.
On
February
17,
a
BPD
held
the
second
public
meeting
at
the
East
Boston
social
center
to
discussion,
review
the
updated
and
revised
proposal.
O
In
addition
to
the
article
80
process,
the
proponent
conducted
additional
community
outreach
with
area
stakeholders
and
local
organizations,
including
the
Jeffers
Point
Neighborhood
Association
additional
as
a
result
of
the
community
as
a
result
of
input
from
the
community,
BPD
and
city
staff.
The
proponent
agree
has
agreed
to
provide
a
number
of
community
benefits,
including
a
commitment
to
restore
and
relocate
the
historic
clock
located
within
the
project
site,
subject
to
the
Boston
landmark
Commission.
O
A
review
process
that
could
the
cost
associated
with
that
endeavor
is
approximately
75,000
square
feet
and
they
have
also
committed
to
making
a
$10,000
contribution
to
be
used
to
implement
the
recommendations
out
of
the
East
Boston
transportation.
Analysis
included
in
the
East
Boston
planning
study.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
introduce
you
to
Richard
Lin's
counsel
for
the
proponent,
who
will
further
the
presentation.
X
Again
good
afternoon,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary
Richard
Lin's
on
behalf
of
linear
retail,
but
waive
brief
introduction.
Mr.
chairman
linear
retail,
owns
and
operates
about
92
retail
properties
throughout
New.
England.
24
of
those
properties
are
located
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
representing
about
a
hundred
and
sixty-two
thousand
square
feet
of
retail
in
2014.
Linear
purchased
a
number
of
properties
in
the
maverick
Square
area
in
order
to
bring
some
of
its
retail
footprint
to
the
East
Boston
community.
X
The
Caravelle
proposal,
that's
before
this
board
consists,
as
Raoul
indicated,
about
39,000
square
feet
of
gross
floor
area
in
a
three-story
building,
and
this
retail
building
will
be
located
in
the
heart
of
maverick
square
at
the
corner
of
Maverick
in
Chelsea
streets.
The
project
will
replace
the
former
Rapinoe
funeral
home
site,
as
well
as
three
adjoining
buildings
that
were
located
on
maverick
Street.
I,
would
point
out.
This
project
likely
represents
the
most
significant
private
investment
in
maverick
Square,
probably
the
last
40
years.
X
There
hasn't
been
a
lot
of
development
other
than
the
East
Boston
neighborhood
health
center,
which
occurred
back
about
five,
maybe
four
or
five
years
ago.
Process
to
date,
with
respect
to
this
project,
we've
been
involved
in
a
very
lengthy
process
that
started
actually
kicked
off
in
2016.
There's
been
a
lot
of
back-and-forth
with
the
community
on
this
project.
We
did
here
have
an
opportunity
to
hear
a
lot
of
input,
sometimes
contentious
over
this
particular
proposal.
Interesting.
A
lot
of
that
had
to
do
with
the
design
of
the
building.
X
Although
we
couldn't
meet
every
one
of
the
requests
of
the
community,
including
preservation
of
two
buildings
that
were
located
on
maverick
Street,
we
feel
that
the
increase
in
the
size
of
the
building
and
the
materials
and
the
design
that
we've
we've
achieved
at
this
point
will
help
address
a
lot
of
the
concerns,
in
fact,
and
we
did
bring
this
out
to
the
community
most
recently,
many
of
those
who
were
actually
opposed
to
this
project
original.
We
spoke
favorably
on
the
project
based
upon
the
redesign
before
I
turn
this
over.
X
To
John
Ruffo
was
the
project
architect.
Mr.
chairman
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
add
that
we
are
well
aware
of
the
concerns
of
the
Boston
Landmarks
Commission,
as
well
as
the
Boston
Preservation
Alliance,
with
respect
to
the
landmark
clock
that
formerly
stood
in
this
site
last
in
2010.
That
clock
has
been
damaged
that
was
damaged
before
linear
purchased.
This
property,
but
I
want
to
assure
the
board
that
any
final
design
of
this
project
will
be
subject
to
completing
that
process
with
the
Landmarks
Commission
relative
to
that
clock.
X
In
fact,
we
worked
very
closely
with
BPD
a
staff
and
I
know
it
is
in
the
board
memorandum
that
no
final
certificate
of
design
completion
can
be
issued
by
BPD
until
we
complete
that
BLC
process.
So
we're
well
aware
of
that
concern
and
we've
made
the
commitment
to
engage
in
some
very
in-depth
due
diligence.
Respect
to
this
clock,
I've
learned
more
about
historic
clocks
and
I,
probably
wanted
to
learn
but
I.
X
Think
Linear's
commitment
to
restore
this
clock
and
to
have
it
visible
again
in
Mavericks
square
is
something
the
community
wanted
and
I
think
that
when
we
work
through
this
and
intend
to
file
this
with
the
Boston
Landmarks
Commission
of
the
coming
weeks,
we
will
have
a
product
that
everybody
can
be
happy
with.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
to
John
Ruffo
to
walk
through
the
program
and
design
of
the
building.
Z
Good
afternoon,
take
you
through
the
program
and
then
a
previous
design
iteration,
that
we
were
asked
to
talk
about
tonight
and
then
the
the
current
design.
So
what
you
see
here
is
Chelsea,
Street
and
maverick,
and
on
the
on
the
ground
floor
of
the
commercial
building,
it's
imagined
to
be
primarily
retail
tenants,
these
three
to
five
retail
tenants
here
with
storefronts
on
Chelsea
and
maverick
most
likely
the
entrances
along
Chelsea
there's
one
of
the
sort
of
factors
about
the
design
is
that
the
grade
changes
from
high
in
this
corner
to
low
in
this
corner.
Z
So
thinking
about
how
the
retail
retail
storefronts
open
up
under
the
street
is
kind
of
an
important
design
thing
that
really
kind
of
leads
us
to
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
different
aspects
of
the
design.
As
you
see
it
here
in
this
corner,
there's
a
vertical
core,
elevator
and
stair
that
leads
to
the
commercial
uses.
On
the
second
and
third
floor.
Z
So
this
is
the
previous
design,
which
was
a
two-story,
a
two-story
proposal
where,
on
the
ground
floor,
here's
a
high
level
of
glass
and
on
the
second
floor,
this
corner
has
always
been
thought
of
as
kind
of
the
sort
of
the
focus
of
the
project,
and
so
there's
always
imagined
to
be
a
lot
of
glass
on
this
corner
through
the
process
as
Richard
talked
about
the
community.
You
know
this
is
about
the
third
iteration
of
the
exterior
design.
Z
We
worked
a
lot
on
the
proportions
and
the
sense
of
the
feel
of
the
design
in
the
community.
I
think
one
of
the
overriding
comments
we
heard
was
that
the
original
design
say
two
steps
before
this
didn't
feel
enough,
like
East
Boston.
So
a
lot
of
the
things
we
worked
with
were
the
proportions
of
breaking
each
of
the
facade
elements
down
into
two
or
three
elements
that
felt
more
like
it
was
in
harmony
and
in
the
context
of
what's
there
and
he's
Boston
today
so
fast-forward
to
today.
Z
The
proposal
is
now
a
three
level
project
as
an
architect,
I
personally
find
it
a
little
bit
easier
to
work
with
a
three-story
building
on
a
two-story
building.
A
two-story
building
has
a
way
of
kind
of
pancaking.
Lo,
the
three-story
building
gives
you
a
lot
of
different
proportions
that
you
can
work
with
to
establish
a
base
metal
on
top
of
the
building.
So
the
project
here,
it's
very
similar
material
palette-
to
what
we've
always
had
brick
stone
metal
panel
at
certain
corners,
a
lot
of
glass
on
this
corner.
Z
The
very
top
here
at
the
corner
is
imagined
to
be
ideally
a
kind
of
a
four-season
semi-enclosed,
dining
area
for
a
restaurant
tenant.
That,
I
think,
would
be
a
kind
of
terrific
beacon
at
the
at
this
end
of
maverick
square.
If
you
will,
as
we
look
at
the
other,
the
other
elevations,
you
can
get
a
sense
for
the
different
facade
types
that
we've
been
exploring
here.
Sort
of
you
know
this
is
almost
a
kind
of
a
brick
frame.
Z
Loft
building
and
as
you
move
down
maverick
Street,
the
windows,
change
proportion
and
again
there
are
two
or
three
elements
in
the
design
that
we
felt
were
critical
to
sort
of
marrying
up
the
building
with
the
scale
of
the
development
in
the
community
and
what
we
were
getting
for.
Community
feedback
so
along
the
ground
floor
again,
three
to
five
tenants
in
here
that
are
probably
cafe
and
restaurant,
as
well
as
some
hard
goods,
retailers,
second
floor,
potentially
Fitness,
tenant
and
again
we're
hoping
for
a
potential
restaurant
up
on
the
third
floor
as
well.
Z
So
you
should
go
back
to
Maverick
Street
same
same
palette
of
materials,
three
kind
of
reads
on
the
facade
bay
windows
that
were
we
sort
of
studied
a
lot
of
the
bay
windows
in
and
around
the
Maverick
Square
area.
This
element
here,
which
has
been
sort
of
talked
about
as
the
tower
is
actually
the
place
where
you
go
in
to
enter
and
go
up
to
the
second
and
third
floor
uses.
X
D
X
X
X
D
X
I
may
mr.
chairman
I,
don't
know
how
far
you
want
me
to
get
into
the
weeds
on
this
one.
With
respect
to
any
agreement
to
preserve
the
buildings,
I
can
equivocally
say
there
was
never
an
agreement
to
preserve
the
two
buildings
that
were
located
on
maverick
Street
I'm,
not
sure
what
information
was
provided
relative
to
that
linear
went
through
a
very
thorough
and
drawn-out
process
to
obtain
all
of
the
approvals
necessary
from
the
city
of
Boston.
In
order
to
demolish
those
buildings,
there
was
a
preference
by
the
neighborhood
to
preserve
them.
X
However,
linear
was
very
clear
from
the
beginning
in
2016
that
the
buildings
that
were
existing
on
maverick
Street
were
not
compatible
with
its
proposed
reused
to
this
site
and
therefore
went
through
very
comprehensive
process
with
the
Landmarks
Commission
relative
to
the
article
85
requirements
as
well
as
inspectional
services
to
demolish,
though
I,
don't
I'm
not
sure
that
what
information
you
have
that
there
was
a
commitment
to
preserve
the
buildings,
because
I
don't
think
that
was
ever
made
by
linear
and
I
know.
That
was
never
said
publicly
to
any
agency
or
entity.
X
Respect
to
the
clock
through
the
chair,
so
the
clock
from
what
we
understand
was
landmark
back
in
the
1980s.
It's
one
of
five
clocks
in
the
city
of
Boston
that
were
given
landmark
designation.
Interestingly,
the
clock
at
this
site
is
the
only
clock
of
the
five
that
was
not
its
original
location.
According
to
the
landmark
study
report,
it
may
have
been
originally
located
in
scollay
square
and
was
relocated,
East
Boston
at
some
point
where
nobody
has
really
been
able
to
determine
within
the
study
report.
X
It
does
actually
state
that
if
this
clock
were
to
be
relocated,
it
would
have
to
remain
in
the
East
Boston
community.
We
did
make
an
effort
to
go
before
the
Landmarks
Commission
back
in
2017,
at
the
request
of
former
councillor
of
Salamah
tena,
to
look
at
the
possibility
of
moving
the
restored
clock
to
central
square
which
just
has
undergone
a
significant
rehab.
The
Landmarks
Commission
was
not
very
accommodating
with
that
request
and
that
we
did
hear
from
the
community.
That
was
a
strong
desire
to
see
the
clock
remain
in
Mavericks
Square.
X
So
since
then,
we
have
been
working
diligently
on
a
plan
to
address
doing
just
that,
keeping
the
clock
in
Mavericks
Square.
There
is
an
on
again
get
too
far
down
the
road
here.
There
is
a
replica
clock,
believe
it
or
not.
In
Mavericks
we're
presently
in
front
of
the
East
Boston
neighborhood
health
center.
A
A
Item
number
20
requests
authorization
to
issue
a
certification
of
approval
pursuant
to
article
80,
section
80,
E.
Six
of
the
zoning
code
for
the
construction
of
thirty-two
compact
living
rental
units,
including
four
IDP
units
and
bicycle
storage,
located
at
72
Burbank
Street,
to
recommend
approval
to
the
board
of
Appeal
for
the
necessary
zoning
relief
and
to
take
all
related
actions.
A
R
Afternoon,
mr.
chairman
members
of
the
board,
Madam
Secretary,
the
project
site
is
located
on
a
vacant
lot
in
the
Fenway
neighborhood
Totem
totaling,
approximately
three
thousand
575
square
feet.
It's
bounded
on
the
north
by
Burbank
Street
on
the
east,
by
a
building
at
70
Burbank
Street
on
the
south,
by
a
private
alley
and
on
the
west
by
a
building
owned
by
the
proponent,
at
91,
Westland
Ave,
the
proponent
proposes
to
construct
a
six
story:
approximately
70
foot
tall,
residential
building,
totaling
approximately
20,000
629
square
feet.
R
The
proposed
project
will
include
32
rental
units,
including
four
inclusionary
development
policy
units.
Although
this
project
was
proposed
before
the
policy
was
formally
adopted,
the
proposed
project
was
designed
following
into
the
intent
of
the
city's
compact
living
policy
pilot,
the
proponent
filed,
a
small
project
review
application
on
May
17th
2018.
A
public
meeting
was
held
on
June
7th.
The
proponent
made
several
changes
to
the
project
based
on
feedback
from
that
meeting,
and
a
second
public
meeting
was
held
on
September
17th
2018.
The
proposed
project
provides
a
number
of
public
benefits.
R
R
The
proponent
has
also
agreed
to
stabilize
the
rent
for
two
specified
tenants
and
properties
owned
by
the
proponent
elsewhere
in
the
Fenway
and
finally,
the
proponent
is
entered
into
an
agreement
with
the
Fenway
Community
Development
Corporation,
where,
by
the
proponent,
will
restrict
undergraduate
students
from
renting
units
in
the
proposed
pride
under
a
monitoring
regime
administered
by
a
third
party
in
cooperation
with
Fenway
CDC.
This
was
a
big
priority
for
the
neighborhood
that
came
out
during
the
community
process
and
the
BPD
a
is
not
a
party
to
that
agreement.
R
Bpd
a
staff
believes
that
the
proposed
project
will
be
a
positive
addition
to
the
Fenway
neighborhood
and
is
Rebecca
recommending
approval
of
the
proposed
project.
I'll
now
ask
mark
Lacasse,
representing
the
development
team
to
introduce
himself
and
his
team
and
present
the
project
and
we'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
afterwards.
Okay,.
Q
Q
All
right
sorry,
72,
Burbank
Street
is
in
the
Fenway
neighborhood
near
Northeastern,
University
and
Symphony
Hall.
It
is
currently
a
vacant
parcel
of
land
shown
in
the
dotted
red
right
there.
The
larger
building
on
the
corner
is
91
Westland
Ave,
it's
an
apartment,
building,
also
owned
by
Forest
properties
and
Forest,
has
owned
this
parcel
of
land
for
approximately
30
years
and
has
been
used
as
surface
parking
for
some
of
its
maintenance
staff
and
not
really
a
parking
lot.
Q
If
you
will
but
more
of
an
accessory
to
the
existing
building,
which
is
called
Parkside
apartments
and
the
proposed
new
structures,
six
storeys
will
be
located
right
on
that
vacant.
Parcel
and
I
emphasize
the
vacant
parcel
nature,
because
there
was
some
some
discussion
during
some
of
our
community
meetings
about
displacement,
which
kind
of
doesn't
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
When
you're
talking
about
constructing
and
building
on
a
vacant
parcel
of
land
hard
to
understand
how
a
vacant
parcel
of
land
in
a
neighborhood
which
desperately
needs
more
housing
units
constitutes
to
displacement.
Q
Q
Here
are
some
site
photographs
showing
the
location
of
the
project
upper
left-hand
corner
again
is
the
large
building
at
91
Westland
Avenue.
The
vacant
parcel
is
right
here.
The
building
immediately
adjacent
to
the
vacant
parcel
is
70
Burbank
Street,
and
that
is
where
the
Fenway
Community
Development
Corporation
is
located.
We
worked
very
closely
with
them
to
address
their
concerns
related
to
the
alley
at
the
rear
of
the
building
where
some
of
their
employees
park
and
there
are
trash
facilities
that
are
used
back
there.
Q
Indeed,
we
filed
our
application
for
small
project
review
prior
to
the
implementation
of
that
policy
by
this
board,
but
our
architects
were
cognizant
of
that
process
and,
in
fact,
participated
in
that
process.
So
each
step
of
the
way
as
the
building
was
being
designed
as
the
smaller
units
were
being
conceived
as
the
amenity
spaces
in
the
building
were
being
designed.
We
had
in
mind
all
of
the
policies
articulated
in
the
compact
living
policy
and
we
believe
that
this
building
represents
squarely
the
goals
set
by
the
compact
living
policy
given
the
location
of
the
building.
Q
However,
in
the
Fenway
section
near
Northeastern,
near
Berklee,
College
of
Music
near
lots
of
other
schools,
there
seems
to
be
a
fear
that
it
would
be
a
de
facto
dormitory.
It's
not
my
client
doesn't
develop
dorms
they
develop
and
own
lots
of
residential
properties
in
the
Fenway.
No
doubt
compact
units
are
a
new
thing
in
the
city,
but
it's
another
way
to
provide
smaller
spaces
for
people
who
actually
want
to
live
in
smaller
spaces
and
having
spoken
to
and
consulted
with
companies
that
run
compact
living
buildings
and
other
cities.
Q
What
we
find
is
that
they
are
most
popular
with
younger
people
and
older
people,
so
there's
definitely
a
demonstrated
need
for
smaller
units,
and
we
think
this
fits
nicely
into
the
Fenway
neighborhood.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Katie
Fiedler
to
talk
about
the
design
of
the
building.
Thank
you.
AA
Thank
you,
I'm
Katie
fielder,
with
embark.
So,
as
mentioned
previously,
we
worked
with
the
neighborhood
to
make
sure
that
our
design
was
in
keeping
with
and
respectful
of
the
neighborhood
context.
This
diagram,
or
this
series
of
diagram,
shows
kind
of
our
latest
iterations
of
that
of
that
approach
and
our
our
design.
AA
These
two
renderings,
the
one
on
the
left,
is
an
aerial
view
and
the
one
on
the
right
is
a
street
view
show
the
current
design
some
of
the
different
challenges
that
we
had
was
the
site
with
the
site.
It
was
that
we
were
not
only
stepping
from
a
four-story
building
to
an
eight
story
building,
but
those
buildings
were
also
they
had
different
Street
setbacks,
so
we
were
navigating
to
different
planes.
AA
This
is
a
street
view
that
just
kind
of
further
emphasizes
how
you
have
that
visual
cue
down
the
streetscape
and
that
you
don't
have
a
harsh
line
that
goes
from
70
Burbank
to
91
Westland,
that
we
are
utilizing
kind
of
a
large
base
shape
to
allow
our
building
to
gracefully
step
from
one
plane
to
the
next.
We're
also
using
a
series
of
brick
that
ties
in
with
the
existing
70
Burbank
and
as
well
as
some
stone
banding
at
the
entry
as
well.
AA
This
is
a
street
elevation
that
we
did
as
a
study
to
see
how
our
building
would
fit
in
to
the
context
of
the
entire
street,
although
you'll
never
really
perceive
it
all
at
once.
You
can
kind
of
see
our
building
is
the
second
to
the
from
the
right
that
you
can
see
how
it
steps
down
and
in
fills
that
vacant
lot.
A
AB
Secretary
Polhemus,
chairman
Burke
members
of
the
board
I'm
here
today
regarding
the
inclusionary
development
commitment
for
212
Stuart
Street.
This
is
the
first
of
two
votes
relative
to
the
preservation
of
97,
affordable
housing
units
at
the
Newcastle
Sarah
net
apartments
at
599,
Columbus
Avenue
in
the
South
End,
and
the
potential
creation
of
up
to
46
new
income
restricted
home
ownership
units
at
the
rear
of
this
property.
Newcastle
saranac
is
a
so-called
expiring
use.
AB
Project
created
under
the
now-defunct
state
13a
program,
unlike
federal
expiring
use
properties,
tenants
have
only
limited
protections
when
the
40-year
restrictions
expire
for
this
project.
The
income
restrictions
expired
in
March
of
2018,
with
the
help
of
a
six
million
dollar
letter
of
credit
from
a
sixty
chimeric
Street
project
and
a
substantial
purchase
loan
from
the
Community
Economic
Development
Assistance
corporation
Fenway
CDC
and
the
Shawkat
companies
purchased
the
buildings
in
January.
AB
We
are
now
in
the
holding
period
where
the
development
team
will
secure
long
term
term
funding
to
pay
back
c-deck
and
renovate
the
properties
in
order
to
move
forward.
This
project
I
am
seeking
your
approval
today
to
allow
the
212
Stuart
Street
project
to
meet
its
IDP
obligations
at
Newcastle,
saranac
212,
Stuart
Street
was
approved
in
June
of
2017
and
will
have
126
rental
units
under
their
original
approval
they
would
have
had
11
on-site
IDP
units
and
a
payout
of
3.3
million
dollars.
AB
At
the
time
we
made
a
commitment
to
keeping
these
funds
in
the
downtown
neighborhoods
in
order
to
assure
feasibility
of
their
project
to
12.
Stuart
Street
has
requests
that
they
now
meet
their
obligation
through
the
creation
of
23
units
off-site
at
Newcastle.
Saranac
Peter
spell
EOS
from
the
212

development
team
is
here
if
you
have
should
have
any
other
questions.
Okay,
thank.
A
Request
request
authorization
to
execute
an
off-site,
affordable
housing
agreement
with
1,000
Boylston

owner
LLC
care
of
the
Wiener

LLC
in
a
joint
venture
comprised
of
transom
real

in
connection
with
the
1,000
boys,
ensuite
project,
IDP
units
and.
AC
AB
Again,
a
secretary
Polly
mr.
members
of
the
board.
This
is
the
second
though
related
to
Newcastle
saranac,
the
1,000
boys,
o
Street
project
was
approved
in
March
2018
and
as
part
of
that
approval,
the
project
received
permission
to
meet
its
IDP
obligation
off-site.
This
obligation
was
450
1,840
square
feet
of
rentable
or
sellable
square
feet
containing
a
minimum
of
19
units,
so
in
other
words,
unlike
the
212
Stuart
Street
project,
this
was
already
approved
for
all
off-site.
So
we're
not
changing
anything
in
that
approval.
AB
We're
only
seeking
today
for
the
approval
of
the
location
of
those
units.
So
we
are
looking
for
the
approval
of
the
occation
spread,
Newcastle
saranac,
which
is
less
than
1/2
mile
from
the
project.
The
1,000
boys
retreat
project
will
fund
29
units
within
the
preservation
component
and
38
units
within
the
new
condominium
building
for
a
total
of
67
units,
I
have
a
member
from
the
1000
Boylston

team
is
here.
If
you
should
have
any
questions.
Okay,.

A
A
J
Chairman

of
the
board
and
Madam
Secretary,
happy
Valentine's
Day
I'm
here,
asking
requesting
that
the
board
approved
to
purchase
two
condominium
units
at
the
Laconia
condominiums
located
at
1180
to
1200
Washington

In
the
south
end,
the
Laconia
condominiums
are
located
on
parcel
SC
120
of
the
south
and
urban
renewal
plan
area.
The

designed
for
artists,
live
work,
space
and
is
made
up
of
loft
style
units
unit
117
and
119
were
combined
and
make
up
an
affordable
unit
and
a
market

unit.
J
The
purchase
price
of
both
units
together
is
nine
hundred
twelve
thousand
dollars
nine
hundred
twelve
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
and
will
be
paid
from
the
inclusionary

a
will
work
to
separate
them
and
replace
the
affordable

restriction
on
the
affordable
unit
to
be
sold
to
an
eligible
household.
The
market
rate
unit
will
either

You
mr.

Madam,
Secretary
and
members
of
the
board
parcel
5
is
an
approximately
8,000
543
square-foot
bepd
on
vacant
land
parcel
located
at
142,
shammed
Avenue
in
the
south
and
urban
renewal
area
between
the
former
Verizon
building
and
the
recently
redeveloped

This
is
an
area
that
was
studied
as
part
of
the
long-range
harrison
albany
carter
strategic
plan
completed
in
2012
on
january
30th,
2018
BPD,
a
staff
with
cooperation
of
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services
held
a
well
attended
community
meeting
at
Castle
Square
Apartments
community
center.
AE
In
order
to
have
a
conversation
with
neighbors
regarding
their
preferences
for
uses
of
parcel
5a
to
a
comment
period
followed
this
meeting.
The
consensus
of
all
feedback
received.
Excuse
me
overwhelmingly
favored
the
creation
of
permanent
landscaped,
open
space
open
to
the
public
and
to
benefit
the
community
with
the
future
intention
of
helping
to
enable
the
east-west
pedestrian
connection
between
Harrison
and
Shawmut
avenues.
This
use
is
consistent
with
public
realm
and
open
space
recommendations
that
ensued
also
from
the
Harrison
Albany
Carter
strategic
plan.
AE
Therefore,
staff
is
requesting
that
parcel
5
be
made
available
via
issuing
issuance
of
an
RFP
to
create
Park

permanent
landscape,
open
space
to
benefit
the
community
with
the
future
intention
of
helping
to
enable
the
east-west
pedestrian
connection.
In
addition,
redevelopment
of
the
landscaped
open
space
at
parcel
5
requires
a
minor
modification
to
the
south

urban
renewal
plan
in

to
include
open

as
a
use
allowed
under

A
O
Good
evening,
chairman
Burke
manners
secretary
members
of
the
board,
the
140
feet:
144
Addison,
Street
project
psychosis
of
a
3.3
acre
parcel
of
land
currently
used
as
a
surface
parking
lot
by
a
car
rental
company
operating
out
of
the
airport.
The
site
is,
is
bounded
by
the
Brandywine
Village
Apartments
to
the
north,
the
Maverick
Mills
building
to
the
west
in
the
rear
yards
of
Saratoga
Street
homes
to
the
east.
As
mentioned
a
few
moments
ago,
the
proposed
project
before
you
today
consists
of
an
approximately
two
hundred
sixteen
thousand
square-foot
residential
development.
O
That
includes
two
buildings,
ranging
at
three
to
five
stories
with
230
residential
rental
units,
including
30
ITP
units
169
off
street
parking
spaces
storage,
space
for
at
least
230
bicycles,
an
associated
open
space,
streetscape
and
public
realm
improvements.
With
respect
to
the
article
80
process,
the
proponent
submitted
a
letter
of
intent
to
the
BPD
on
July
27
2017,
which
led
to
the
formation
of
an
11-member
impact
advisory
group.
Thereafter,
the
proponent
filed
the
project
notification
formed
with
the
BP
DA
on
January
19
2018,
which
triggered
a
public
comment
period
that
concluded
on
March
9
2018.
O
Following
the
conclusion
of
the
initial
comment
period,
the
BP
da
issued
a
scope
and
determined
the
scope
and
determination
to
the
proponent
on
May
18
2018,
in
response
to
the
scope
and
determination
the
proponent
filed
the
draft
project
impact
report
on
August
13
2018,
and
a
draft
plan
development
area
development
plan
on
August
28
2018.
These
documents
triggered
a
public
comment
period
that
ultimately
concluded
on
November
8
2018.
During
that
timeframe,
a
total
of
five
I
AG
meetings
and
three
public
meetings
were
sponsored
by
the
BP
da
and
helped
throughout
the
review
process.
O
In
addition
to
the
BPA
sponsored
meetings,
the
development
team
conducted
their
are
their
own
additional
community
outreach
towards
area
residents,
local
elected
officials
in
area,
civic
associations,
including
the
Oregon
Heights
neighborhood
council
and
the
Harborview
Neighborhood
Association.
As
a
result
of
the
BP
EA
facilitated
review
process
of
feedback
that
was
expressed
throughout
the
process.
The
proponent
work
collaboratively
with
BPD
a
staff
area
residents,
the
impact
advisory
through
local
elected
officials
and
the
general
public
to
address
areas
of
concern
related
to
the
project
and
has
resulted
in
the
proposal
before
you
today.
AF
B
AF
You
know,
based
upon
input
from
VP
da
staff,
as
well
as
the
community
is
a
residential
project
that
fits
well
into
the
fabric
of
a
neighborhood
and,
at
the
same
time
also
gestures
to
some
of
its
additional
kind
of
industrial
neighbors
as
well.
But
but
overall,
as
Raoul
mentioned,
the
site
is
outlined
in
the
dashed
line.
It's
currently
used
as
high-density
parking
storage
for
cars
from
Avis
and
budget.
This
is
all
overflow
cars
from
the
airport
in
terms
of
adjacencies
and
and
what's
happening
around
the
building
to
the
north
and
northeast.
AF
We
have
Brandywine
village,
that
is
a
400
plus
unit
mixed
income
community
in
a
multi-family
residential
zone
to
the
southeast
on
Saratoga
Street
is
a
two
and
three
family
zone
to
the
west.
You
see
the
four
hundred
thousand
square-foot
175
industrial
McClellan,
building
and
just
off
the
off
the
page
right
up
here
is
a
12
story:
hotel,
it's
the
Courtyard
by
Marriott
and
along
Addison
Street,
which
is
an
EDA
Zone.
You
have
a
mix
of
industrial
as
well
as
residential
uses.
AF
So,
overall
you
know
of
the
230
units,
as
Raoul
mentioned,
30
of
them
will
be
IDP
units
that
are
going
to
be
on-site.
I
think
something
that
we're
really
proud
of
is
the
amount
of
public,
publicly
accessible,
open
space
that
we're
able
to
create.
So,
as
you
know,
as
I
mentioned,
this
is
a
3.3
acre
paved
parking
lot.
We're
gonna
be
creating
almost
two
acres
of
public
accessible,
open
space
in
terms
of
jobs.
AF
We
anticipate
that
the
projects
going
to
generate
three
to
four
hundred
construction
jobs
and
approximately
eight
permanent
positions
associated
with
managing
and
maintaining
this
building
in
terms
of
connectivity.
Our
goal
is
really
to
promote
bicycle
use
and
walkability.
We're
gonna
do
that
through
providing
an
on-site
blue
bike
sponsorship
program,
we're
also
making
significant
offsite
improvements
to
the
landscape,
which
I'll
address
on
a
further
slide,
and
we
hopefully
hope
that's
gonna.
You
know
help
enhance
walkability
and
hope
improve
the
connectivity
to
the
retail
in
the
neighborhood
as
well.
AF
We've
had
a
very
extensive
community
process.
We
actually
started
this
project
over
two
years
ago,
prior
to
filing
our
letter
of
intent
in
July
of
2017,
we
had
over
20
individual
meetings
with
abutters
neighborhood
stakeholders
to
present
the
project
and
and
during
the
the
PMF
process
and
the
DPI
our
process.
AF
We
had
over
15
community
and
IAG
meetings
and
actually,
over
the
last
three
months
of
the
project,
we've
had
have
had
an
intense
series
of
meetings
with
the
butters
to
try
to
best
address
their
concerns
and,
and
that's
actually
shaped
and
changed
the
project
a
lot
and
on
future
slides
I'll
show
you
what
we've
done
in
order
to
try
to
try
to
address
those
concerns
from
a
program.
Standpoint
I
think
Raoul
touched
upon
all
this,
but
just
in
summary,
3.3
acre
site
we're
proposing
a
two
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
square
foot.
AF
Building
that
building
is
gonna,
have
230
units
of
which
30
will
be
IDP
units.
It
will
also
include
you
know:
approximately
11
to
12
thousand
square
feet
of
amenity
space,
we're
providing
bicycle
parking
on
a
one-to-one
ratio,
so
230
bicycle
parking
spaces
as
well
as
15
visitor
spaces
for
bicycles,
and
our
parking
ratio
is
gonna,
be
0.7
for
169
spaces
from
from
a
zoning
standpoint,
we're
actually
proposing
a
project
that
is
approximately
25%
less
than
what's
allowed
by
zoning
RFA.
Our
is
one
point.
AF
Five
one
in
comparison
to
the
2.0
FA
are,
as
it
relates
to
height.
We're
matching
the
allowed
height
under
the
PDA
of
55
feet
and
in
terms
of
any
setbacks,
rear,
front
and
side
yards
we're
far
exceeding
what's
required
under
either
the
e
da
or
the
PDA.
From
a
minute
unit
mix
standpoint,
approximately
8%
of
the
units
are
gonna,
be
studios.
I
can't
see
that
number
from
that
far
away.
Sixty
one
percent,
one
hundred
and
forty
units
will
be
one
bedrooms
and
72
units
will
be
two
bedrooms.
AF
These
two
series
of
images
just
kind
of
show
you
some
context
of
the
site.
The
image
on
top
is
a
view
in
front
of
the
site
looking
east,
so
the
site
is
delineated
by
that
blue
fence.
You
can
see
Brandywine
village
on
the
left,
the
Saratoga
homes
straight
ahead
and
then
the
Addison
Street
to
the
right.
That's
a
light
day
for
parking
use
on
that
site
that
that
lot
oftentimes
has
a
lot
cars
moving
in
and
out.
The
view
on.
AF
The
bottom
is
looking
from
the
site
due
west,
where
you
can
get
a
glimpse
of
the
one
for
the
175
McClellan
industrial
building
on
the
Left
hand-side
Brandywine
village,
on
the
right-hand
side
and
then
the
12
story,
Courtyard
by
Marriott
Hotel
in
the
back
run
as
well
in
terms
of
site
context.
The
first
series
of
images
on
top
are
images
of
Addison
Street.
Addison
Street
has
a
mixed
residential
and
industrial
composition,
but
it's
largely
dominated
by
the
175
McClellan
building,
which
stretches
approximately
800
feet
down
the
street.
AF
One
of
the
major
improvements
that
we're
going
to
be
instituting
is
actually
replacing
that
fence
and
actually
installing
landscaping-
and
this
is
outside
of
our
mitigation-
we're
gonna
be
installing
landscaping
all
the
way
down.
Addison
Street
we've
worked
with
the
abutters
and
we're
gonna
ask
the
Addison
Street
voters
to
be
part
of
that
final
design
process
to
figure
out
what
the
landscape
should
be.
It's
going
to
be
a
series
of
planting
some
fencing,
potentially
because
there
are
some
steep
areas,
but
we're
gonna
work
collectively
with
them.
AF
The
next
series
of
photos
is
the
intersection
of
Addison
Street
in
Saratoga
during
community
meetings.
This
was
brought
up
as
a
challenged
intersection,
primarily
because
of
some
sight
line
concerns
and
also
because
people
really
don't
obey
the
stop
sign
there.
We're
gonna
be
installing
a
raised
cross,
walk
across
Addison
Street
in
order
to
help
mitigate
traffic
there.
AF
Third
down
our
images
associated-
and
this
will
be
easier
to
see
once
I
show
you
the
site
plan.
There
is
an
informal
access
road
on
the
east
side
of
our
property
that
is
utilized
by
abutters
in
order
to
access
the
rear
of
their
homes.
This
was
never
formalized
from
the
previous
owner
and
the
previous
variance
that
was
granted.
We're
gonna
be
actually
rebuilding
this
road.
We're
gonna
be
granting
a
formal
easement
to
all
the
Saratoga
Street
abutters,
so
they
have
access
to
the
rear
yards
and
perpetuity.
They're
currently
actually
is
even
no
curb
cut.
AF
So
they're
actually
hopping
a
curb
to
try
to
access
this,
and
so
we're
gonna
be
improving
that
condition
significantly
on
the
bottom,
you
see
kind
of
a
series
of
imagery
associated
with
the
approach
down
something
we
call
the
McClellan
access
Drive.
One
of
the
topics
we
want
to
talk
about
tonight
is
traffic
and
we
try
to
mitigate
traffic
on
Addison
Street.
Everyone
who
enters
this
garage
is
gonna
be
coming
from
one
a
down
this
McClellan
access
Drive.
AF
So
one
of
the
things
we
wanted
to
do
is
beautify
that
with
landscaping
and
so
we'll
be
showing
you
some
of
that
as
well
too.
So
this
is
the
overall
site
plan
for
the
project
and
I'm
gonna
be.
The
next
slide
is
actually
an
enlarged
site
plan.
Where
we'll
be
discussing
some
of
the
changes,
but
I
wanted
to
show
this
to
you
to
kind
of
highlight
some
of
the
major
off
site
improvements
that
we're
doing
so.
AF
The
topography
er
is
challenging,
it's
almost
a
bull
sight,
but
we're
trying
to
utilize
that
to
our
advantage,
there's
going
to
be
a
pool
for
the
residence
that's
actually
made
out
of
a
shipping
container
with
a
glass
front
kind
of
a
very
cool
industrial
kind
of
architectural
feature.
We're
gonna
have
landscaping
poking
through
some
of
these
areas
of
the
deck,
where
we'll
be
kind
of
inserting
hammocks
as
well
too,
so
really
trying
to
do
something
creative,
but
but
overall,
the
project
itself
is
comprised
of
two
buildings
as
going
through
the
BCDC
design
process.
AF
AF
So,
in
essence,
if
you
come
to
this
project
and
the
front
door
is
actually
right
there,
you
feel
like
you're,
either
going
to
the
north
building
or
the
South
building,
and
then
the
fact
that
they
feel
like
one
building
is
very
very
important,
and
this
is
the
enlarged
site
plan
and
I
wanted
to
kind
of
just
really
quickly
reiterate
the
project
and
then
talk
about
the
significant
changes
that
were
made
so
overall,
the
rear
building
here
the
North
building
has
125
units.
The
front
building
here
has
105
units.
AF
This
section
of
the
front
building
is
a
three-story
section
along
the
street
wall
to
kind
of
better
represent.
What's
going
on
in
the
street,
it
actually
bumps
up
to
four
stories
right
here.
The
rear
building
is
actually
five
stories
with
a
four
story
section
right
here
in
terms
of
the
changes
that
were
made,
the
project
was
originally
proposed.
That's
270
units
we
actually
eliminated
40
units
from
the
project,
so
it's
at
currently
230
units.
AF
In
response
to
some
of
the
concerns
we
heard
from
the
Addison
Street
residents,
a
couple
of
the
key
features
is,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
all
entry
and
egress
from
the
garage
is
down
in
the
clip
McClellan
access
Drive.
So
you
enter
the
garage
right
here.
Originally
the
project
had
an
egress
only
out
onto
Addison
Street,
but
citing
concerns
associated
with
with
with
the
project
we
eliminated.
That
another
key
feature
was
this
access
Drive
right
here
for
a
short-term
parking.
AF
That
was
also
seen
as
an
issue
for
the
residents
and
so
what
we
did
is
we
restricted
that,
and
so
there's
gonna
be
a
gate.
There
controlled
access
gate
and
that's
related
to,
and
it
will
only
be
utilized
by
people
looking
to
lease
an
apartment
so
first-time
visitors
during
business
hours
in
order
to
handle
drop-offs
and
deliveries.
Uber
things
like
that
we're
gonna
be
creating
an
uber
drop-off
area.
AF
In
the
back
right
here
and
that
actually
works
pretty
well
because
the
cores
of
the
building
are
here
and
here
so
we
think
that's
going
to
be
a
good
solution
in
order
to
do
that
and
then
very
quickly
in
terms
of
the
elevations
we're
really
using
kind
of
four
materials.
There's
gonna
be
an
iron
spot,
brick
in
this
section
of
the
building,
the
three-story
section
of
the
building-
and
this
is
an
elevation
looking
east.
AF
So
the
long
section
of
the
south
building
and
the
short
section
of
the
North
Building,
the
south
facades
of
both
buildings
are
gonna,
have
an
architectural
corrugated
metal,
which
kind
of
hints
to
the
industrial
nature
kind
of
to
that
side
of
the
building.
It
also
works
with
some
Sun
reflectivity
providing
an
interesting
facade.
The
North
facades
will
be
in
cement,
ish
Asst
board,
and
that's
going
to
be
of
varying
expressions
and
also
trying
to
do
something
in
terms
of
patterning.
AF
So
it's
very
interesting
and
there's
also
a
significant
amount
of
storefront
and
then
the
area
as
well
as
the
amenities
here
and
in
the
glass
connector
so
really
quickly.
This
is
the
clay
only
of
two
minutes
left.
This
is
the
approach
from
Addison
Street.
This
is
what
you
will
be
seeing.
The
fence
has
been
removed
in
landscape.
This
is
the
three-story
structure.
You
shouldn't
even
be
seeing
the
fourth
floor
from
this
angle
and
you
can
see
the
five
storey
building
in
the
back
right
here.

A
K
E
AG
Mr.
chairman
and
member
of
the
boards,
my
name
is
Richard
scarran
moza
I
live
at
135,
Addison
Street
and
a
lifelong
resident
I
have
come
here
today
to
support
the
article
80
process
in
the
staff
of
the
BPD.
A
senior
project
manager,
Raoul
dvash,
has
shown
the
utmost
respect
to
the
residents
during
the
process
which
at
times
has
not
been
so
pleasant.
AG
AG
Also
the
time
in
effort
that
councillor
Edwards
and
her
staff
has
put
put
into
the
project
and
most
of
all,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
mayor
for
also
getting
involved
in
it
as
well
on
behalf
of
the
Addison
Street
residents.
I
want
to
thank
them
all
a
large
project
in
an
already
highly
dense
area
will
have
its
challenges.
I
feel
working
with
the
PDA
and
also
the
developer
to
address
any
and
all
future
concerns
is
one
of
the
most
important
parts
of
the
process
and
look
forward
to
working
with
them.
AH
Hi,
my
name
is
Jon
Fitzgerald
I'm,
also
on
Addison,
Street
resident
and
I
came
here
for
the
same
reasons.
Richie
did
people
in
this
room
that
really
helped
us
Raul
Jason
I
can't
speak
enough
about
literal
Edwards
I
mean
there
was
a
lot
of
things
on
this
project
that
I
needed
to
learn
and
they
helped
me
learn
and
two
of
those
words
were
change
and
compromise.
AH
The
change
part
I
caught
on
pretty
good,
but
to
compromise
like
they
said
there
were
a
lot
of
meetings
and
they
were
very
heated
meetings
and
they
would
always
make
me
feel
that
I
was
being
heard.
Even
though
I
didn't
think
the
developer
was
listening,
you
know
and
they
sat
me
down.
They
explained
it
to
me.
Mr.
Fitzgerald
you're
not
gonna,
get
everything
you
want,
but
neither
was
the
developer.
You
need
to
compromise
and,
like
I
said
I.
AH
That
was
a
hard
word
for
me
to
understand
and
finally
come
to
terms
with
and
like
I
said,
if
it
wasn't
for
those
people
in
the
mayor,
I
was
always
told
that,
after
every
meeting
the
next
day,
the
mayor
wanted
to
know
what
we
went
on.
What
was
said,
he
really
showed
concerns
and,
like
I
said,
I
felt
like
I
was
being
heard
and
I
wanted
to
come
here
and
acknowledge
those
people.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
coming.
AD
My
name's
Mark
Wallace
I'm
owner
of
parlor
custom,
skis
I
own.
A
manufacturing
business
in
the
back
were
175
McClellan
highway
we've
been
there
for
about
four
years
and
in
that
time
we've
grown
from
one
employee
to
I
think
we
have
seven
full-time
employees
now
so
we're
adding
some
jobs
there
and
we've
had
nothing
but
good
experiences
with
landlord
who's.
Part
of
this
and
I'd
also
like
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
the
traffic
pattern
in
that
parking
lot
being
there
every
day.
AD
There
are
a
lot
of
big
trucks
in
and
out
and
and
having
that
many
cars
moving
around.
It's
not
safe
for
us,
not
safe
for
the
customers
and
it's
loud,
and
we
see
this
project
as
a
really
big
improvement,
not
only
to
our
area
but
to
the
community.
We
feel
like
it
would
add
a
lot
to
that
part
of
the
neighborhood
and
bring
in
bring
in
some
some
new
people
as
well,
which
we
would
welcome
so
we're
in
support
of
the
project.
Thank.

Hello,
my
name
is
Veronica
Robles
I'm,
the
co-founder
of
the
Veronica
Robles
cultural
center,
which
is
located
right
in
175,
McClelland
Highway
we
opened
six
years
ago,
and
we
love
this
space
because
of
the
parking
and
inside
the
building.
We
have
a
very
beautiful
space,
large
space,
but
the
area
is,
it's
currently
is
dangerous
for
our
members.
AI
We
have
about
300
members
that
come
to
the
building
a
during
the
week
after
5:00
o'clock
for
after-school
programs,
and
many
of
our
members
are
having
a
hard
time
attending
our
programs
because
of
the
way
that
is
right
now.
So
in
terms
of
safety
and
security.
We
also
agree
that
this
will
be
a
great
asset
to
the
community,
the
plants
and
everything
the
way
they've
been
working
with
the
community.
We've
been
there.
AI
We
are
a
nonprofit
organization
and
none
of
any
of
the
developers
that
are
been
in
the
city
right
now
have
approached
to
us
to
see.
If
we
need
anything,
and
in
last
summer,
they
also,
you
know,
helped
us
on
on
a
program
that
we
did
at
Suffolk,
Downs
and
they're
been
very
good
and
I
think
they
will
be
also
very
good
to
this
community
and
all
of
the
aspects
so
we're
here
to
support.
I'm
also
this
second
vice
president
of
the
Chamber
of
Commerce.
We're
also
been
in
support
of
these
projects
since
the
very
beginning.
AJ
I'm,

actually

past
two

business,
a
flooring,
business
at
175,
McLellan
and
we've
been
there
for
six
years
and,
as
Veronica
said,
the
same
thing
safety
and
we
do
have
a
beautiful
space
over
there,
but
I
think
with
this
project
opening
up
the
McLellan.
When
you
come
off
the
highway,
that's
really
the
only
entrance
coming
into
that
parking
lot
so
for
them
to
be
repaving
that
whole
entrance
from
Boardman
street
and
then
redoing
Addison's
Street.

I
have

at

Mcclellan
been
there
about
five
years
now,
and
somebody
else
mentioned.
We
have
a
growing
staff,
so
it'd
be
really
nice
to
beautify
the
area
and
even
have
employees
potentially
get
housing
there
too,
which
would
be
really
good
for
us
as
a
set
and
the
safety
and
the
parking
lot
would
be
really
nice
on
these
full
support.

You
can

what
it

It

The
fair

many,
including
developers,
economists
planners
fellow
researchers
and
anyone
interested
in
Boston.
The
the
research
department
has
already
published
six
reports
since
the
beginning
of
this
year
on
topics
such
as
trends
on
article

development
approaches
to
immigration
policy
and
their
impacts

L
During
the
last
two
weeks
of
January,
all
managers
underwent
a
management
training
as
part
of
our
improvement
in
internal
operations.
The
managers
had
attended
in
immersive
to
day
management,
training
designed
and
delivered
by
JM
regroup.
The
purpose
of
this
training
was
for
BPD,
a
managers
to
learn
the
skills
and
behaviors
necessary
to
drive
organizational
performance,
build
trust
within
teams
and
enhance
two-way
communication
throughout
the
organization.
The
two-day
training
provided
a
solid
foundation
to
build
and
enhance
the
BPD
A's
ability
to
execute
and
deliver
on
strategic
objectives.
L
On
behalf
of
the
city
of
Boston,
it
was
a.
It
was
a
great
opportunity
for
all
the
managers
and
I
think
every
I
think
the
reaction
was
incredibly
positive
from
everyone
who
participated
in
it
and
on
a
final
note
tonight
we
say
farewell
to
Sarah
Meyerson,
our
Director
of
Planning,
on
behalf
of
all
of
us
who
have
had
the
pleasure
to
get
to
know
and
work
with
her
I'd
like
to
thank
Sarah
for
her
incredible
dedication
and
hard
work
at
the
BPD.
D
And
I'll
just
add,
as
one
board
member
and
others
may
may
want
to
speak
to
this
as
well.
Sara's
been
you've,
been
I,
think
incredibly
open
and
inclusive
and
you've
essentially
presided
over
the
transition
of
this
agency
from
what
it
was,
which
is
to
say,
perceive
this
kind
of
distant
and
aloof
to
what
it
has
become,
which
is
much
more
open
and
transparent.
D
Often
exude
and
I've,
seen
you
present
to
the
real
estate
community
at
eight
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
to
community
groups
at
6:30
or
7
o'clock
at
night
for
years
and
I
I
wish
you
the
best
in
the
next
set
of
activities
that
you're
going
to
engage
and
and
I
have
to
say
that
you're
gonna
be
sorely
missed
as
a
person
who
has
brought
character
and
quality
and
humility,
as
was
used
and
effectiveness
to
this
position.
So
thank
you.
B
A
It's
just
like
that,
but
yeah
we're
well
aware
of
the
changes
that
you
brought
to
the
agency
and
the
improvements
that
you
made
and,
as
Ted
mentioned,
the
transparency
just
the
way
of
doing
a
different
way
of
doing
business.
Now
that
I
think
people
feel
that
the
planning
department
is
approachable,
I'll,
say
that,
but
we
all
want
to
wish
you
well
and
hopefully,
we'll
see
you
maybe
come
here
someday
to
testify.
