From YouTube: Parks Commission Hearing (January)
Description
Date: January 30, 2022
B
Good
morning,
everyone
today
is
Monday
January
30th.
We
are
meeting
for
our
first
Parks
and
Recreation
Commission
public
hearing
of
2023
and
joining
me
today.
I
should
start.
My
name
is
Ryan.
Woods
I
have
the
pleasure
of
serving
as
the
parks
commissioner
for
the
city
of
Boston
and
joining
me
is
a
chief
of
environment,
energy
and
open
space,
Reverend
mariama
white
Hammond,
an
associate
commissioner
associate
commissioner
David
quilly
associate
commissioner
Elisa
Birdseye
an
associate
commissioner
William
Epperson.
C
Sure
first,
we
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
for
the
record
that
Ann
Connolly
has
submitted
her
resignation
for
her
role
as
associate
Parks
commissioner
and
has
served
with
us
since
October
2013
and
her
service
has
been
very
invaluable
to
us
over
the
years
and
and
we
just
wish
her
the
best
and
Ryan.
If
you'd
like
to
add
anything.
B
I
just
again
spent
a
great
contribution,
she's
dealing
with
some
health
complications
and
we're
all
with
her
and
thinking
of
her
as
she
goes
through
this
long
process,
but
very
appreciative
of
the
work
that
she's
done.
Numerous
meetings,
several
hours
of
meetings
on
some
of
the
days
and
truly
appreciate
the
service
that
she
provided
and
we're
going
to
look
for
ways
to
to
honor
the
service
that
she
gave
somewhere
in
one
of
our
Parks.
Maybe
one
close
to
her
home,
but
as
a
fitting
triple
foreign.
D
Yeah,
just
adding
a
quick
note
that,
in
multiple
conversations
with
her,
she
expressed
her
honor
to
be
able
to
serve
in
this
role
and
and
the
reality
is
that
it's
really
important
when
we
have
residents
that
are
willing
to
give
other
time
and
and
specifically
their
volunteer
time
to
support
our
mission
and
so
really
thankful
to
have
her
and
believing
and
hoping
that
she
will
have
a
strong
recovery
and
look
forward
to
her
continued
engagement
with
us.
Just
with
a
little
less
time.
B
C
C
F
G
A
G
The
structural
engineer
and
Ken
Fogerty,
who
is
our
general
contractor
and
we're
here,
Gavin's
going
to
do
the
presentation.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
we're
here
to
make
sure
that
we
protect
the
park
Roanoke
Park
and
that
everything
we
do
we're
going
to
cooperate
to
make
sure.
There's
nothing
there
that
you
know
everything
that
we're
doing
we're,
trying
to
make
sure
we're
cooperating
to
make
sure
everything
works
from
a
state.
Then
standpoint
and
then
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
Gavin
good.
F
H
F
Site
is
right
here,
on
Adams
Street
and
to
the
rear
of
the
property
and
to
the
left
of
the
property
is
Ronan
Park
I'm,
just
gonna
run
through
the
existing
conditions
of
the
house,
the
existing
conditions,
it's
a
single-family
home
at
two
thousand
200
square
feet,
and
it's
on
a
eight
thousand.
Seventy
one
square
foot
lot
next
to
Rona
Park
the
single
family
recently
had
a
fire,
so
it
is
set
to
be
demolished
and
we
did
get
the
landmarks
commission
approval
for
our
demolition.
F
Just
a
quick
back
on
the
zoning
is
a
three
FD
3000,
just
contacts
in
the
neighborhood
most
of
the
buildings
in
that
neighborhood
are
three
families.
This
is
across
the
street.
There
are
a
bunch
of
three
Deckers
and
then
directly
to
the
right
of
the
property.
There
is
a
three
family
Condominiums
with
parking
on
the
first
floor,
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
the
layout
of
the
site.
This
is
the
existing
site
plan.
F
F
I'm.
Just
gonna.
Do
some
quick
pictures
to
show
you
the
the
two
walls
that
are
the
the
main
focus
of
the
presentation
is
there
is
a
a
wall
on
the
left
side
of
the
property
and
then
there's
a
large
wall
on
the
rear
of
the
property
you
can
see
here
this
picture.
One
is
the
view
from
Madden,
Street
and
then
picture.
Two
is
the
existing
wall
on
the
left
side
of
the
property
which
we're
calling
wall
c.
F
F
This
is
looking
towards
the
back
of
the
property,
there's
actually
five
foot,
five
between
the
wall
and
and
the
property
line.
So
there
is
this:
no,
no
men's
land
that
we're
calling
it
between
our
property
line
and
the
existing
wall.
We
actually
met
wise
out
there.
Last
week
we
talked
to
her
about
like
this
in
between
space
and
we're
actually
going
to
clear
that
just
to
clean
up
the
space
between
the
wall
and
the
property
line,
this
is
looking
at
it.
G
F
The
trees
in
the
back
and
then
this
is
looking
at
it
from
the
north
side
of
the
property.
Looking
South
at
the
rear
wall,
we
did
get
a
letter
from
arborist
to
take
down
the
existing
trees
that
one
was
hit
by
lightning
and
then
one
is
just
the
way
that
the
foundations
report
over
the
years
that
it
was
leaning
over
to
the
right
side
and
then
I'll
just
go
through
the
proposed
plans
quickly
we're
proposing
two
three
family
homes.
F
J
F
F
F
F
You
can
see
the
the
red,
the
red
dashed
lines
below
showing
the
existing
house
and
we're
going
to
have
a
shared
driveway
in
the
middle,
which
is
going
to
be
at
elevation
56
and
then
we're
proposing
two
new
walls.
Wall
a
is
going
to
be
at
the
the
rear
of
the
building,
which
is
also
going
to
act
as
a
foundation
wall
and
a
retaining
wall,
and
then
we're
proposing
a
new
wall
D
on
the
rear
of
the
property.
F
You
can
see
at
the
rear
of
the
property
that
our
wall
is
going
to
be
eight
foot,
two
off
the
existing
wall
in
the
rear,
and
then
it's
going
to
be
three
feet
off
the
property
line
and
then
there's
five
foot
three
between
the
property
line
in
the
existing
wall.
This
was
the
area
that
we
were
talking
about
before
that
we're
going
to
clear
and
then
there's
an
existing
fence
on
the
existing
wall.
Steve
that
we're
going
to
replace
as
well.
F
The
architecturals.
This
is
the
site
plan,
as
this
is
two
lots:
there's
113
and
115..
This
is
the
existing
site
plan,
the
proposed
I
plan.
This
is
the
landscape
plan
we
are
going
to.
We
are
taking
down
three
trees.
We
are
going
to
replace
the
three
trees
that
are
there
with
one
in
the
open
space
in
the
rear
and
then
on
two
in
the
front.
Here
we
are
going
to
rebuild
that
existing
wall
in
the
front
and
then
add
Landscaping
at
the.
F
F
F
F
This
is
the
wall,
a
which
is
going
to
be
the
rare,
the
foundation
wall,
and
then
these
are
the
details
showing
the
the
foundation
wall
foundation,
wall
a
and
then
the
new
wall,
foundational
d
ude.
Then
we
have
the
construction
management
plan
to
show
that
there's
going
to
be
no
disruption
to
the
park.
B
B
F
B
F
D
Right
Chief,
so
I
just
want
to
clarify.
So
what
I'm
hearing
from
you
is
you've
given
us,
the
information
that
you
have
there's
additional
information,
that's
required
that
you
cannot
quite
submit
because
you
don't
you
need
the
short
order,
form
to
remove
some
things
in
order
additional
conditions
and
that
I'm
just
making
sure
everyone.
So
are
you
wanting
us
to
sign
off
on
the
short
order
or
the
short
form
and
then
for
the
next
phase?
You
would
simply
go
back
to
Liza
or
you
would
come
back
to
us
I'm
just
trying
to
clarify.
F
The
way
that
we
spoke
with
Liza
on
Friday
was
with
we
have.
We
have
all
the
information
that
we
we
can
do
with
the
short
pump,
so
we
would
take
down
the
building
and
basically,
we
were
hoping
to
get
the
approval
with
the
Proviso
that
we
would
submit
to
you
guys
the
Shoring
plan
and
I'll.
Let
Liza
clarify
this
segment
correctly,
that
she
would
approve
everything
and
with
the
Proviso
that
we
would
give
her
the
scoring
plan
once
the
house
was
down
and
we
did
the
test
bits.
D
O
I
mean
I
think
what
would
make
the
most
sense
is
is
to
you
know,
review,
and
if
the
Commissioners
are
comfortable
with
the
project,
you
know
potentially
vote
to
approve
it
here
with
the
Proviso
that
the
Shoring
plan
be
submitted
once
they're
able
to
do
the
geotechnical
analysis,
we'll
review
the
Shoring
plan
and
won't
sign
off
on
the
actual
building
permit.
Until
that
Shoring
plan
has
been
reviewed
internally
and
potentially,
with
an
external
consultant
on
call
with
us
to
make
sure
we're
totally
comfortable
with
it.
O
D
Then
the
other
piece
of
that
is,
it
looks
like
from
the
site
plan,
there's
actually
still
access
to
that
wall.
It's
not
like
it's
completely
cut
off,
so
we
have
abilities
as
needed
in
the
future
to
sort
of
keep
monitoring.
If
you
know
it's
not
like
our,
our
access
is
completely
cut
off
to
the
wall
on
the
park
side.
Correct,
yes,
great
all.
F
We
agreed
that
we
would
maintain
it,
because
the
only
way
that
the
parks
would
would
be
able
to
access
it
would,
if
you
like,
went
over
the
wall
and
a
ladder
down.
So
we
would
agree
that
we
would
maintain
it
because
there
right
now,
it's
mostly
just
shrub,
there's
a
the
report
from
the
arborist
that
there
are
a
couple
trees
that
are
pretty
dead
in
just
the
way
that
the
slope
is.
They
are
leaning
pretty
hard.
So
we
would
maintain
that,
in
between
space
between
the
property
line
and
the
wall.
G
D
D
So
and
and
I
think
one
thing
worth
noting
is
so
your
intention
at
the
end
of
the
project,
so
we
trust
that
you'll
maintain
it
during
the
project.
It
makes
sense
so
we'll
stay
in
communication,
but
at
the
completion
of
the
project,
the
the
current
belief
is
that
it
will
be
sold
as
condominium
units.
So
then
what
happens
at
that
point.
G
F
J
F
N
All
right,
I'll
go
next,
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
the
condo
docs
will
address
the
maintenance
of
that
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
also
clearly
identified
for
the
potential
buyers.
We
would
want
them
to
have
that
buried
and
not
caught
by
their
lawyers
review
and
then
have
that
be
something
where
they're
surprised
several
leaders
down
the
road.
G
N
That
said
field
implementation
of
those
plans,
don't
always
go
as
the
engineer
initially
anticipated,
so
I'm
wondering
if
maybe
it's
appropriate
here,
to
have
some
written
acknowledgments
that
should
any
of
the
development
activities
compromise.
That
wall
as
identified
in
the
comparison
of
the
the
pre
assessment
in
the
post
assessment,
that
the
proponent
is
acknowledging
that
they'll
take
on
any
necessary
repairs
to
that
wall.
A
B
B
B
Q
I
think
I
can
get
started
if
you'd
like
yep.
Okay.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
Good
morning
my
name
is
Bob.
Baldwin
and
I
am
sort
of
the
owner's
rep
for
the
Roxbury
Prep
charter
school
and
uncommon
schools,
which
are
in
essence,
The
Joint
developers
of
the
Roxbury
Prep
charter
school
proposed
for
69.71
Proctor
Street
across
the
street,
from
Clifford
Park
I'll.
Q
They
have
been
looking
for
a
site
for
a
high
school
and
potential
more
space
or
replacement
space
for
middle
schools,
which
are
have
leases
expiring
for
quite
some
time
identified
this
property,
which
is
about
an
acre
and
a
third
I
believe
about
a
year
ago,
a
little
over
a
year
ago,
and
it
really
works
wonderfully
for
the
school.
It
is
in
a
very
proximate
location
to
the
most
of
their
student
demographics,
the
public
transportation.
As
you
were
probably
aware
of
both
working
down
there
and
having
a
park
down.
Q
Q
We
have
gone
through
an
extensive
public
process
last
year,
culminating
with
the
bpda
approval,
I
think
in
September
the
zba
approval
in
November
and
the
pick
approval
in
December,
which
of
course
brings
us
to
you
all.
During
that
process
we
did
have
some
written
and
verbal
dialogue
back
and
forth
with
the
folks
at
the
parks,
Mission
and
responded
I
think
to
some
of
the
comments
and
looking
forward
to
hear
if
we've
adequately
responded
to
all
of
them,
I
think
with
that
I
am
going
to
turn
it
over
to
I.
R
All
right,
thank
you,
Bob
yep,
so
just
to
give
a
quick
orientation
to
the
site
location.
We
are
located
in
between
Proctor
Street,
which
is
just
to
the
south
of
the
bottom
of
that
site
area
that
you
see
there
and
then
Magazine
Street,
which
is
located
to
the
north,
both
of
them
heading
in
from
Mass
Ave
off
to
the
right
hand,
side
and
you
can
see
actually
1010
Mass
Ave
is
right
there
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
screen.
R
R
Other
features
that
you
can
see
here.
We
have
a
four-story
building,
that's
being
proposed,
we're
definitely
thinking
towards
the
future
of
the
of
the
local
area.
But
we
think
this
is
a
fantastic
project
to
really
set
the
precedent
for
developed
along
the
street.
There
we
have
a
series
of
bike
racks
that
were
requested
as
part
of
the
city
permitting
process,
as
well
as
through
some
discussion
with
pic.
We
also
are
establishing
a
row
of
Street
trees
along
the
sidewalk
in
our
landscape.
Architect.
R
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
in
depth
about
those
as
we
move
forward,
but
also
along
the
curb
Edge
we've
established
some
poor
Paving
areas
and
then
further.
In
the
background
to
the
left,
you
can
see
some
planted
rain,
Garden
strips
that
are
located
along
the
street
Edge
as
well
move
to
the
next
rendering
a
little
bit
better.
R
So
this
is
pulled
back
a
little
bit
this
image
from
where
we
were
just
standing,
which
was
on
down
on
the
sidewalk
along
Proctor
Street.
This
gives
you
a
better
sense
of
sort
of
the
massing
of
the
building
the
end
of
the
building.
As
seen
from
Mass
as
Mass
Ave
as
you're
approaching
it,
you
can
get
a
better
sense
of
really
how
the
corner
of
the
building
is
formed
here.
R
R
The
blue
is
tied
into
the
school
colors
and
so
we're
trying
to
create
some
identity
of
branding
there,
but
all
pulling
together
with
a
palette
that
we
really
think
again
sets
a
nice
precedent
moving
forward
for
the
for
the
overall
neighborhood
we
move
forward.
This
is
the
first
floor
plan.
Just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
how
the
building
is
going
to
function
and
I.
R
Believe
Ralph
will
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
the
traffic
impact
here
in
terms
of
how
things
are
functioning,
but
generally,
the
main
entrance
to
the
building
is,
to
the
bottom
right
hand,
corner
of
the
screen.
Proctor
Street
is
again
to
the
South
Magazine
Street
to
the
north.
The
building
has
been
designed
so
that
all
pedestrian
traffic
is
going
to
be
entering
in
off
of
Proctor
Street,
so
that
is
both
students,
primarily
as
well
as
staff
that
are
taking
either
bikes
to
the
site.
R
If
they're
walking
and
then
to
the
north
off
of
Magazine
Street,
we
have
the
parking
area
which
is
exclusively
for
staff,
and
so
there
is
a
staff
entrance
point
off
of
that
parking
area,
but
primarily
and
exclusively
pedestrians
will
be
approaching
from
the
southern
side
moving
into
the
building
from
the
main
entrance.
There's
a
reception
area,
there's
a
Lobby
that
allows
students
to
move
up
into
the
building
either
using
stair
or
the
elevators,
and
the
majority
of
the
left-hand
side
of
the
first
floor
plan
you
can
see
is
the
dining
common
space.
R
So
this
is
the
otherwise
known
as
cafeteria
space,
which
is
used
for
breakfast
at
lunch
and
again
has
a
tremendous
amount
of
glazing
that
looks
out
towards
the
South
and
allows
for
that
really
always
present
connection
to
the
surrounding
environment
and
the
and
the
Really
the
benefit
of
the
park.
The
visual
coming
through
we
advance
to
the
next
slide.
I
guess
this
is
where
I'll
hand
it
over
to
Ralph.
S
It's
important
to
note
that
this
project
has
gone
through
the
full
article
80
process,
as
this
Bob
has
identified,
which
means-
and
it
was
large
project
review,
so
we
had
to
go
through
and
do
a
very
detailed
and
comprehensive
Transportation
impact
analysis
that
focused
on
students
and
staff
and
area
conditions
and
and
such
and
most
of
the
students
are
going
to
get
here.
The
high
school
students
are
going
to
take
public
transportation,
and
you
know
the
Middle
School
there'll
be
some
school
buses
as
well.
S
It's
very
minimal
kind
of
regular
drop-off
and
there'll
be
no
parking
provided
for
any
of
the
students,
so
the
parking
in
the
back
is
for
staff.
In
that
report
we
also
did
a
really
extensive
look
at
The
Pedestrian
paths
from
any
of
the
various
bus
stops
or
or
t
stations
to
the
site
and
try
to
catalog
those
as
well
as
some
of
the
improvements
are
already
happening
in
the
area.
S
What
you
see
on
this
plan,
if
you
look
at
Proctor
Street,
there
is
something
that
we've
been
working
on,
has
been
approved
by
pic
and
BTD,
which
is
a
new
crosswalk.
As
well
from
the
main
pedestrian
entry
over
to
the
park
along
with
a
curb
bump
out
on
the
park
side
here
and
that
separates
two
drop-off
areas,
that
will
be
either
for
regular
vehicles
or
for
buses
working
on
the
details
of
BTD
and
obviously
the
signage
can
always
evolve
as
as
that
works,
but
that
those
areas
would
be
drop
off
today.
S
So
I
think
it
really
creates
an
additional
pedestrian
amenity
for
the
area
as
well
as
access
to
the
school
I
can
get
into
any
of
the
details
of
the
analysis,
but
essentially
the
the
traffic
analysis
shows
minimal
change
between
today's
operations
and
future
operations
at
any
of
the
surrounding
intersections
and
again,
we've
got
a
full
report
and
I
can
get
into
details
as
questions
arise,
but
with
that
I
think
I'd
turn
it
back
to
the
team.
Here.
Q
Q
We
could
not
get
parking
for
all
of
staff
on
site
and
in
fact,
with
you
know
the
bpda's
new
sort
of
regulations
and
and
push
for
fewer
rather
than
more
parking
spaces.
This
falls
right
within
the
guidelines,
but
we,
you
know
we
are
thoughtful
about
our
staff
and
our
teachers,
and
we
did
Ralph
and
his
team
helped
us
with
a
a
very
thorough
inventory
of
publicly
available
parking
spaces,
and
this
this
does
not
include
Street
spaces.
Q
These
are
these
are
parking
lots
that
you
can
pay
to
park
in
and
there
are
a
lot
of
spaces
available
within
walking
distance
and
by
the
way
that
we
do
not
intend
to
include
any
of
the
parking
spaces
in
the
city
lot
just
to
the
right
of
our
property.
In
that
inventory
we
would
not
be
looking
to
have
our
staff
parked
there.
S
Bob,
if
I
can
add,
there's
also
a
robust
Transportation
demand
Management
program
that
is
really
directed
at
staff
to
encourage
staff
and
help
support
them
in
in
taking
alternative
transportation.
You
know
key
passes,
Bike
Share
memberships,
things
like
that
in
keeping
with
the
city's
guidelines
we're
we're
finalizing
the
details
of
the
tapa
with
BTD
now,
but
it
includes
all
of
those
programs
in
a
way
that
really
exceeds
the
city's
guidelines.
K
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Kelly
Conley
I'm,
one
of
the
principals
here
at
Tara
Inc.
We
were
thrilled
to
be
part
of
this
project
and
we're
very
excited
about
it,
even
though
our
scope
is
quite
small
for
a
typical
landscape
architecture
intervention,
but
it's
really
important
what
we
were
contributing
to,
which
is
the
streetscape
setting
a
precedent
for
how
future
development
can
work
with
the
Boston
City
standards,
the
complete
streets.
K
Looking
at
the
eventual
proposals
for
the
new
market
Corridor,
and
so
we
took
all
this
into
account
on
this
plan
on
the
Magazine
Street
side
of
the
site
to
the
north
of
the
property.
The
arrangement
there
again
as
I
had
mentioned
is
part
of
the
new
market
guidelines
that
are
eventually
going
to
come
out
that
we
were
asked
to
reflect
and
we've
done
that
gladly.
It
made
for
a
good
way
to
deal
with
that
street,
which
is
narrow
and
there's
a
lot
of
future
expansion
opportunity
along
it
on
Proctor
Street.
K
We
also
utilize
some
permeable
paving
materials
along
the
streetscape
and
similar
pavers
inside
the
lobby
area
to
create
that
transition
from
Street
to
building
feeling
unified
and
consistent.
If
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
the
type
of
plant
material
that
we've
suggested
for
the
site
along
Magazine
Street,
were
using
the
common
hackberry,
which
is
one
of
my
favorite
native
trees.
It's
very
Hardy
I,
think
more
of
it
should
be
planted.
So
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
introduce
it
in
this
location.
K
In
the
green
infrastructure
strips,
we
have
a
combination
of
shrubs
and
perennials,
and
some
grasses
we're
using
a
little
bit
of
dwarf's
Father
Gila
to
help
give
some
size
and
mass
and
structure
to
the
beds
with
the
grollo
sumac,
which
is
another
great
friend
of
ours,
along
roadside
conditions,
the
Asters,
the
butterfly
weed
and
the
Prairie
drop
seed.
And
so
these
have
about
been
excuse
me.
Q
So
yeah
back
to
me,
thank
you,
everybody
and
just
wrap
it
up.
Excuse
me
not
sure
what
we
have
for
open
issues
but
I.
You
know
some
of
the
issues
that
were
brought
up
during
our
our
relating
process.
You
know
highlighting
them.
You
know
included
a
concern
around
loss
of
parking
spaces
on
Proctor
Street
for
those
that
might
be
looking
to
visit
the
park.
Q
A
you
know,
questions
about
the
expectations
that
the
school
has
for
use
of
the
park
and
and
and
then
lastly,
during
the
Communications
prior
to
article
80,
these
School
did
agree
to
make
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
contribution
to
the
parks
department
for
some
mitigation,
and
you
know,
and
with
that
again
happy
to
answer
questions
and
continue
to
talk
about
open
questions.
Regarding
any
of
these.
Q
B
You
great
thanks
very
much
for
your
presentation,
very
thorough
I
can
say,
as
somebody
who
spent
the
past
17
years
at
1010,
Mass
Ave
very
excited
to
see
a
row
of
Street
trees
for
the
first
time
along
Proctor
Street,
especially
with
the
rain
Garden
strips
and
the
forest
Paving
very
exciting.
For
us
to
see
that
love
that
we
saw
in
the
drawing
some
EV
charging
spaces
as
well.
I
know.
The
chief
will
love
that
in
the
back
of
the
school,
which
is
there
more
of
a
curiosity
fact.
Q
I
I
am
good
morning
all
right,
commissioner,
and
the
rest
here
today.
Thank
you
for
giving
us
this
opportunity
to
present
we,
the
Middle
School
start
around
7
15
for
arrival,
and
our
high
school
begins
about
half
an
hour
later.
So
we
expect
the
high
school,
the
Middle
School
arrival
to
be
completed
by
the
time
that
High
School
arrives
and
then
our
day
Monday
through
Thursday,
goes
to
about
three
o'clock
somewhere
between
three
and
three
o'clock
for
middle
school
and
3
30
for
high
school
and
then
on
Fridays.
B
B
D
The
commissioner,
would
you
actually
got
started
on
some
of
the
questions
that
I
had
related
to
that
it
would
be
ideal
if
our
construction
were
happening
at
the
same
time,
because
it
would
certainly
be
challenging
if
the
two
disruptions
happened
back
to
back
and
then
there
was
dust-
and
you
know
so
anyway.
So
if
there
is
any
ability
and
I'm
not
saying
that
we
that
it
can
be
perfectly,
but
some
level
of
coordination
might
be
ideal
just
worth
noting
so
I
I
have
a
couple
of
quick
questions
and
I
I.
D
Think
I
intimated
in
your
in
your
materials
that
you
want
to
have
a
conversation
with
us
about
the
use
of
the
of
Clifford
Park,
but
it
didn't
quite
say
that
directly,
but
you
did
note
in
your
materials
that
there
isn't
really
any
open
space
attached
to
the
school.
So
my
question
is:
is
your
assumption?
Is
that
Clifford
Clifford
Park
would
be
the
place
that
children
would
go
to
recreate
during
the
day
just
want
to
clarify.
Q
So
you
know
very
good
question
and
let
me
and
I'll
you
know,
I'll
ask
John
to
expand
a
little
bit
throughout
a
assumption
is
the
wrong
word.
It
would
be
our
hope
that
we,
that
you
know
the
the
park
would
be
available
for
school
use,
as
you
know,
as
available
as
appropriate,
through
exactly
the
same
process
that
other
schools
and
other
users
go
through
when
they
permit
use
of
the
park.
Q
You
know
Advanced
or
or
special
treatment,
around
use
and
permitting
of
the
park,
and
we
haven't,
we
haven't
requested
such
and
nobody
at
the
parks
department
has
offered
such
so.
Let
me
just
say
that
John,
maybe
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
more
what
the
uses
in
general
are
for
the
school,
because,
of
course
it
uses
Parks
throughout
the
city
today,
because
the
high
school
is
in
in
act
in
activity,
yeah.
I
Thanks
Bob,
so
that
is
correct.
Our
athletic
director
works
closely
with
currently
with
the
parks
department
for
because,
as
our
current
schools
do
not
have
attached
spaces
for
after
school
sports,
and
so
we
are
actively
and
now
I
have
always
been
in
our
20-year
history.
You
know
working
with
the
city
to
find
space
at
the
appropriate
time
and
for
our
sports
activities.
I
I
know
with
the
base
and
others
that
Park
is
very
heavily
used,
and
so,
like
Bob
said,
we
don't
have
expectations,
but
we
hope
to
work
closely
with
the
parks
department
to
find
time
that
might
be
available
or
in
other
areas
in
the
city.
And
then,
during
the
day
when
I
assume
the
park
has
less
use
in
the
morning
hours.
You
know
up
until
two
o'clock.
I
D
Thank
you,
I
mean
I,
think
one
so
I'll
I'll
note
two
things
they're
just
worth
noting
you
know,
as
the
mayor
has
been
very
clear
in
her
desire
to
see
us
amplify
the
access
of
young
people
to
sports,
and
we
have
a
simultaneous
challenge
that
much
of
the
space
we
already
have
has
quite
a
waiting
list.
So
I
think
it
is
my
hope
that
BPS
has
been
very
active
in
those
conversations
today.
D
D
There
are
certain
times
of
year,
Where
We
Are
program
to
the
hilt
and
we'll
need
it
would
be
good
to
see
more
leadership
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
there
are
other
charter
schools
within
with
whom
you
are
also
in
conversation,
how
we
can
engage
folks
around
how
we
make
this
all
happen,
and
we
are
looking
at
more
land
acquisition
and
other
sorts
of
things
to
make
this
more
possible,
but
it
would
be
good
to
have
you
in
that
conversation.
I
would
say.
D
The
second
question
that
I
would
have
is:
have
you
begun
building
relationships
with
the
base,
the
Mason
School
The,
Dudley,
Street
School,
all
of
which
are
close
by
I,
think
there
could
be
a
huge
advantage
to
having
more
activity
in
the
park,
particularly
during
the
day.
As
you
know,
it's
not.
The
park
has
not
been
without
its
challenges,
but
we
are
always
of
the
of
the
idea
that
more
positive
activity
is
often
the
best
way
to
decrease
some
of
the
more
negative
activities.
D
So
I
think
that
they're
in
the
afternoon
hours,
we're
gonna
have
some
challenges
because
everybody
wants
to
use
the
park
starting
at
like
230
right
and
so
we'll
have
to
figure
that
out,
but
in
the
earlier
hours
there
certainly
are
some
potential
opportunities
to
help
us
keep
this
park
as
occupied
as
possible
by
playing
children
instead
of
some
of
what
has
been
occupying
the
park,
which
is
not
playing
children,
maybe
the
opposite.
So
would
love
to
to
think
about
that.
But
I
do
think
from
a
big
picture
perspective.
D
I
do
I
want
to
note
not
because
it
is
unsolvable,
but
just
that
love
to
welcome
800,
more
children
to
the
to
that
area,
and
there
is
definitely
a
open
space
challenge
in
terms
of
the
number
of
of
young
people
who
want
and
need
access
in
the
afternoon
hours.
So
we
would
love
for
you
to
help
us
think
about
constructively.
I
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
opportunity
so
to
your
first
point
about
getting
Charter
Schools
involved
active
member
of
the
Boston
Charter
Alliance,
and
so
all
of
us
you
know.
Most
of
us
anyway,
are
dealing
with
those
open
space
issues.
So
would
love
to
be
part
of
that
conversation
and
can
certainly
bring
it
to
the
alliance
and-
and
you
know,
follow
up
with
that.
N
I
can
go
next.
This
is
a
very
exciting
project.
I'm
very
supportive
of
it,
but
I
do
have
a
number
of
questions
following
those
that
have
already
been
addressed,
the
EV
parking
that
was
mentioned,
the
EV
charging
in
the
back.
How
how
many
spaces
are
we
talking
about?
Is
it
a
significant
percentage
of
the
number
of
spaces
that
you
set
aside
with
access
to
these
charging
stations.
R
So
we're
at
we're
at
12
stations
that
we're
putting
in
charging
stations,
which
is
meeting
a
25
required
on
day
one
installation
we're
also
setting
up
all
100
of
the
46
parking
spaces
with
the
infrastructure
or
the
remaining
75,
with
both
electrical
capacity
and
conduit
to
really
facilitate
the
installation
of
those
Chargers
down
the
road.
So
again,
that's
that's
all
in
agreement
with
what
the
current
city
guidelines
are
calling
for.
That.
N
Q
I
can
answer
that
way
where
we're
at
capacity
we're.
Actually,
you
know
we're
looking
to
actually
break
ground
in
the
next
couple
of
months
and
struggling
mightily
to
get
to
a
price
where
we
actually
can
do
that,
so
we're
really
maxed
out.
There
are
programs
that
we're
working
with
with
the
with
eversource
that
help
us
to
subsidize
a
portion
of
our
investments
in
these
EV
stations.
So
we
haven't
gotten
to
the
point
where
we
figured
out
exactly
how
much
but
to
the
extent
we
can.
Q
N
Yeah,
that's
understood,
I.
Imagine
there
will
be
some
level
of
consideration
or
prioritization
given
to
make
sure
that
we
have.
We
put
all
12
of
those
to
good
use,
starting
on
day
one
understanding.
You
don't
have
enough
parking
for
everybody,
so
let's
make
sure
that
we
at
least
get
you
know
enough.
Ev
vehicles
in
that
lot
to
fully
utilize
those
stations,
a
good
point,
absolutely
all
right,
as
we
all
heard
last
week
in
the
mayor's
announcement.
N
Q
R
Maybe
just
worth
mentioning
that
there
is
an
emergency
generator,
that's
really
located
on
at
the
building
for
resilience
purposes
that
will
be
diesel
fed,
as
opposed
to
Natural
Gas
fed
as
well
just
to
really
concur
with
what
Bob
just
relayed
but
yeah.
It's
it's.
The
building
is
using
air
source
heat
pumps,
vrf
system
in
terms
of
providing
the
HVAC,
so
that
that
would
be
where
the
gas
might
otherwise
be
used.
But
again
it
is
all
electric
that
we're
designing.
N
Excellent
kudos
to
the
team,
we
appreciate
that
very
much
I
believe
I
heard
the
commissioner
mentioned
that
there
is
a
mitigation
fund.
That's
already
been
agreed
to
on
this
fifty
thousand
dollars.
I
would
hope
that
we
look
at
the
impacts
of
the
of
the
Shadows
that
are
going
to
be
cast
into
the
front
of
the
park
and
maybe
use
that
to
offset
some
of
that.
N
L
R
Just
given
the
distance
that
the
park
extends
in
front
of
the
building
itself,
so
we've
we've
tried
to
position
the
units
in
a
way
that
they
are
not
visible,
especially
when
walking
along
Proctor,
Street
and
sort
of
the
most
proximate
sight
lines
that
we've
done
in
terms
of
looking
at
sight
line
studies.
But
we
don't
have
a
continuous
row
screening
up
at
the
higher
roof.
M
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions,
but
wanted
to
commend
the
proponents
for
doing
a
great
job
in
terms
of
including
a
large
number
of
bike,
racks
and
racks
and
green
infrastructure
related
question.
Are
you
going
to
be
using
structural
soils
in
those
tree
pits
along
Proctor
or
magazine
streets?
Are
they
going
to
be
more
traditional
tree
pits.
K
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question,
so
our
typical
soil
blend
is
more
of
a
what
I
call
a
bony
blend.
It's
got
a
bit
of
gravel
for
the
structure,
so
it's
a
structural
soil.
We
did
not
have
a
soil
recipe
put
together
by
one
of
our
soil
Consultants,
but
rather
looking
at
a
third
existing
soil,
a
third
new
soil,
organic
mulch
in
the
Bony
blend
and
we've
put
that
mix
into
the
spec
and
on
the
drawing.
So
the
contractor
is
well
aware
of
sort
of
the
proportions
that
it
should
be.
K
M
Okay,
so
it
sounds
like
a
to
me
a
more
traditional
tree
pit,
although
you've
got
a
interesting
mix
of
soils
and
that's
there
to
help
the
trees
kind
of
Thrive.
But
I
mentioned
structural
soils.
I
was
talking
about
the
type
that
have
a
huge
amount
of
infrastructure
underneath
the
ground.
You
can't
really
see
that,
so
that's
the
other
type
of
structural
soil,
but
yours
sounds
fine.
Q
Q
We
will
have
underneath
the
parking
spaces.
If
you
look
at
this,
you
can
see
a
faint
dotted
line
that
up
along
the
top
oh
yeah,
Tommy
yeah
that
that's
covered
from
above.
In
any
event,
yes,
it
will
be
traditional
asphalt,
but
underneath
that
entire
parking
lot
is
our
underground
storm
water
retention
structures.
So
you
know
we
are
minimizing
off-site
storm
water.
M
O
O
O
B
T
H
H
O
B
L
B
B
U
V
V
V
And
this
is,
if
you
can
turn
the
slide.
This
is
the
last
80
units
of
a
482
unit
community
that
we've
built
in
Mattapan
on
the
former
Boston
State
Hospital
site.
This
is
what
we
envisioned
back
in
2004
and
what
we've
been
successful
in
building
402
rental
units,
a
combination
of
for
elderly
homeless
for
low-income
housing,
tax
credit,
mixed
income
rental,
but
the
most
important
part
was
to
bring
in
home
ownership
to
the
to
the
community
and
we've
already
brought
in
70
units
of
home
ownership.
V
And
this
is
the
last
80
units
of
home
ownership
that
we're
bringing
in
the
concept
was
in
calling
at
Homestead
green.
Was
it
to
make
it
a
project
at
the
end
of
the
emerald
necklace
that
was
beautiful,
that
offered
housing
for
our
residents
where
they
had
front
yards
and
backyards
Community,
Gathering
areas
and
recreational
opportunities
and
walking
paths
going
through
the
property
to
connect
to
the
Mass
Audubon,
the
Boston,
Nature
Center
and
our
plan.
V
Our
our
community
is
a
wonderful
mix
of
home
ownership,
18
units
going
to
households,
making
80
percent
of
Ami
18
units
going
to
people
making
a
hundred
percent
of
Ami
28
units
being
Workforce
units
for
people
making
between
100
and
120
percent
through
the
Commonwealth
Builders
fund,
established
by
Mass,
Housing
and
rep
homes.
It
was
announced
on
this
site
and
we
have
16
market
rate
units.
V
V
We
have
a
community
Gathering
area
and
we
have
a
a
gem
for
our
community
in
the
bottom
right.
There's
a
playground
right
there
and
then,
if
you
go
all
the
way
to
the
left
hand,
side
of
the
screen
there's
another
playground
and
then
just
next
to
it
is
a
barbecue
area.
You
can
also
see
the
existing
trees,
we've
preserved
and
we'll
talk
about
our
tree
preservation
plan
for
our
80
units.
V
W
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
Jerry
Kevin
Wright
from
BHP
talking
about
the
site,
so
the
onstage
reincide
is
an
extensive
amount
of
coordination
with
the
Boston
Water
and
Sewer
Commission
to
preserve
a
storm
water
management
system
that
reduces
the
amount
of
runoff
and
flows
through
through
the
site
into
the
neighboring
Autobahn
Center,
as
well
as
the
network
of
drainage
systems
and
roadways
that
are
in
place.
W
You
have
approvals
through
those
different
agencies
to
this
date
and
time
all
of
the
roads.
Oh
excuse
me
all
the
private
roads
in
the
Olmsted
green
property.
Our
porous
pavement
roadways,
the
public
roadways,
are
traditional
standard
city
of
Boston
roadways
with
standard
drainage
systems,
with
with
a
complement
of
low
impact
design
measures
in
certain
areas.
The
kind
of
network
this
all
together.
W
W
Place
and
an
executive
tree
study
was
done
to
show
which
trees
were
going
to
be
preserved.
There's
a
total
of
21
trees
with
311
caliber
inches
scheduled
to
be
removed,
209
trees,
initially
totaling
394
calipers
will
be
planted,
which
are
shown
on
the
landscape
plans
with
with
detail
as
to
where
all
those
trees
will
be
going
turn
it
over
to
our
architectural
team.
T
Hi
everybody
I'm
I'm,
Cliff
Bowmer,
and
thanks
to
the
commission
for
hearing
us
today,
I
think
we
can
flip
to
the
next
slide.
We
just
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
the
design
drivers
for
this
development.
That
I
think
you
can
see
in
this
site
plan.
One
is
the
the
balance
of
buildings
and
green
space
that
we
think
is
consistent
with
the
overall
Olmstead
development.
Second,
is
creation
of
walkable,
a
very
pleasant
streetscape
and
finally
building
scale
that
is
consistent
with
the
previous
phases
and
we
think
it.
T
T
The
building
type
that
we
selected
is
one
that
that
follows
the
site.
It's
a
building
typology
that
can
follow
the
Contours
of
the
site
and
there
is
a
lot
of
grade
change
on
the
site.
At
the
same
time,
accessibility
has
been
a
huge
driver.
We
have
accessible
paths
throughout
site
that
do
connect
to
all
of
the
site.
Amenities,
including
I,
believe
we
have
five
connections
from
the
public
walkways
across
to
the
pathway
that
borders
on
the
Audubon
land,
I
think
probably
most
notable
on
this
plan
is.
T
You
can
see
the
generous
buffer
Kevin
mentioned
that
30-foot
buffer,
but
we
are
creating
a
habitable
walkable
space
between
the
Audubon
site
and
all
of
the
the
homes
in
the
city
unit
development.
The
next
slide
shows
a
little
bit
of
some
of
the
images
renderings
of
the
buildings.
The
architecture
is
is
traditional
in
its
detailing,
but
also
consistent
with
with
the
existing
development.
T
That's
happened
on
this
site,
even
though
it
is
a
home
ownership
development
we
have
ad
created
entries
and
while
they
are
laid
out
as
kind
of
modular
sort
of
townhouse
Styles,
we
are
exceeding
of
accessibility
requirements.
All
of
the
units
are
group
one
compliant
and
we're
providing
a
group
two
fully
accessible
units
which
is
not
required
by
the
building
code,
but
was
encouraged
by
moh,
and
we
were
very
happy
to
provide
that
in
the
plans
as
well
incorporate
that
into
our
plans.
T
The
next
few
is
is
another
rendering
getting
a
look
at
the
typical
housing
types
we
haven't
selected
all
of
the
colors
yet
but
I
think
these
are
indicative
of
the
types
of
tones
that
we're
looking
for.
Finally,
there
there
are
some
elevations
and
I.
What
I
wanted
to
point
out
here
was
that
in
keeping
the
notion
of
kind
of
keeping
the
the
streets
very
walkable
and
pleasant,
if
you
notice,
between
groups
of
the
clusters
of
the
buildings,
we
have
connector
pieces
within
those
connector
pieces.
T
T
U
Thank
you,
Cliff
Paul
Romney,
at
Golson
in
stores,
27
parking,
Road,
Jamaica
Plain.
Thank
you
very
much
to
the
Sparks
mission
for
having
us
this
morning.
This
is
a
very
exciting
step
in
our
process,
as
a
last
step
as
the
typical
of
our
entitlement
process
for
The
Preserve,
just
a
quick
overview
of
where
we've,
where
we've
been
so
far
and
then
I'll,
touch
briefly
on
a
a
component
of
the
Olmstead
green
project
across
Morton
Street
on
the
East
Campus.
U
U
The
youth
program
is,
is
sort
of
ongoing
and
and
we
actually
have
Mark
Loring
from
the
Brook
School
in
attendance
today.
He
spoke
a
little
earlier
as
well,
and
I'm
sure
mark
would
be
happy
to
give
a
bit
more
detail
on
where
they
are
on
their
currently
contemplated,
scheduled,
uses,
design,
review,
project
process.
Things
like
that,
so
with
that
we'd
like
to
again
thank
everyone.
U
D
Who
from
the
state
told
you
that
it
would
be
article
97
protected,
because
we
sent
the
doc
the
information
that
you
sent
us
to
the
state
and
we're
told
by
the
state
that
the
parcel
would
not
be
article
97
protected
according
to
what
you
submitted
to
us.
So
I
just
want
to
know
who
told
you
that
it
will
be
protected.
That's.
U
D
U
Great
yes,
thank
you
for
that
question.
We
I
would
love
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
an
attorney
from
the
state.
The
attorney
for
the
parks
department
I
have
been
in
in
in
conversation
with
the
bpda's
council
as
well,
and
you
know,
I
really
think
this
is
a
matter
of
really
digging
into
to
the
case
law
and
and
the
requirements
for
article
97
protection.
U
U
The
state's
website
says
that
there
are
two
ways
to
to
create
article
97
protection
right,
but
those
are
those
are
explicitly
not
the
only
two
ways
which
has
been
held
by
the
SJC
and
so
what
you
know.
We
are
happy
to
continue
to
work
with.
You
know,
I
I,
think
a
very
direct
conversation
with
myself
and
the
the
attorneys
for
the
parks
department
and
the
attorneys
for
the
State.
You
know,
unfortunately,
the
individual
at
the
state
who
we
had
previously
worked
with
on
this
project.
D
D
It
would
have
been
so
helpful
given
that
I've
raised
this
more
than
a
month
ago.
It
would
have
been
super
helpful
that
you
had
contacted
the
folks
at
the
state,
so
they
could
tell
me
something
different
than
what
they
already
told
me
a
week
ago,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
so
there's
not
any
new
information.
You're
you're
saying
you
still
maintain
that
the
way
you
have
set
it
up,
which
is
different
than
the
two
instruments
that
have
been
stated
by
the
state,
would
functionally
do
the
same
thing.
U
I
wasn't
sure
who,
from
the
state
that
was
and
I'm
happy
to
be
in
touch
with
them,
share
some
of
our
research
and
and
particularly
if
we
can
have
an
opportunity
with
Council
for
the
parks
department
involved.
I
think
we
can
get
to
the
bottom
of
this
and
make
sure
that
everyone
is
comfortable,
that
the
parcel
will
be
protected
under
article
97
of
the
Massachusetts
Constitution.
M
W
They
they
have
a
compliance
team
that
comes
in
and
does
does
work
for
them.
There's
a
storm
water
package
and
O
M
manual.
That's
been
supplied
that
has
recommendations
to
that
have
been
supplied.
It
says
you
know
quarterly
inspections
and,
and
things
like
that
of
that
nature
be
done
for
vacuuming,
for
maintenance
of
of
the
site
and,
as
I
said,
the
Porsche
pavement
has
been
in
place
on
site
on
all
the
private
roads
for
the
last
20
years.
W
M
B
Right
just
I'll
make
some
comments
on
the
trees,
just
because
I
want
to
clarify
and
make
sure
we
have
it
on
the
record,
so
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
vigilance
of
the
contractor,
obviously
overseeing
it,
just
because
we
want
to
make
sure
those
significant
trees
that
are
being
protected.
You
know
withstand
the
construction
on
site.
I
know
there's
at
least
six
of
those
and
I
believe
in
another
11
that
are
within
the
area,
but
outside
the
work
Zone
that
are
there
and
just
correct
me.
B
V
And
that
that's
correct,
I
I
think
we
have
hired
heartnet
to
manage
the
observation
of
the
contractor,
to
make
and
to
recommend
the
methodologies
of
preserving
the
trees.
We
are
preserving
and
so
we've
already
fenced
them
in
and
demarcated
them
and
then
they've,
given
us
the
maintenance
procedures
to
do
during
the
construction
to
make
sure
that
they
Thrive,
but
now
I'm
getting
a
little
bit
outside
of
my
pay
grade.
Kevin.
Do
you
want
to
jump
in.
X
Y
D
Just
a
quick
question:
I
know
that
there
has
been
a
closing
of
all
or
you
are
in
conversation
with
concom
around
the
new,
a
sort
of
80
unit
site,
and
my
understanding
is
that
you
are
up
to
date
on
all
your
filings.
I
want
to
clarify.
Have
you
closed
out
the
unfiled
documents
from
the
previous
phase
yet?
Has
that
been
completed?
Yes,.
Y
N
V
Well,
I'm
gonna
get
let
Kevin
jump
in,
but
pic
would
not
allow
us
to
have
driveway
parking
because
they
wanted
the
ability
to
have
the
sidewalks
go
throughout
the
site
to
maximize
the
accessibility,
and
so
it
is
all
on-street
parking.
We've
got
one
one
and
a
half
spaces
per
for
both
the
residents
and
visitors.
But
Kevin,
though.
N
V
N
We
have
a
lot
of
what
appears
to
be
some
sort
of
common
area:
Green
Space
common
area,
open
space,
who's
going
to
own
and
maintain
that,
and
what
sort
of
protections
will
be
in
place
to
make
sure
that
it's
properly
maintained
and
not
developed
in
the
future,
for
something?
That's
less
green
as
it
is
today,
foreign.
N
N
You
seem
to
be
advocating
for
a
methodology
that
you
believe
invokes
that
permanent
protection,
but
that
others
question
or
have
some
doubt
or
it's
a
little
bit
less
clear,
I'm
certain.
There
has
to
be
some
sort
of
compromise,
something
that
we
could
do
to
make
it
a
little
less
ambiguous
and
more
comfortable,
not
pursuing
that.
Well.
V
It's
it's
partially.
We
can't
get
a
a
conservation
group
to
oversee
the
typical
conservation
restrictions.
So
we
tried
with
this-
is
one
methodology
I
know
that
Mark
Loring
who's
on
the
school?
We
we've
said
well
we'll
file,
a
deed
restriction
and
we
were
told:
well
maybe
that
only
lasts
for
30
or
40
years,
and
so
then
my
suggestion
was
I
mean
we
don't
we're
going
to
keep
it
as
a
field
in
open
space
because
the
school
needs
it,
but
we
some
people
need
some
convincing
that
we
will
and
so
I've
discussed.
V
If
we
don't,
if,
if
Brook
charter
school
doesn't
renew
it
in
30
to
40
years,
we'll
give
the
parks
the
field,
as
as
another
methodology
of
showing
our
absolute
intent
of
good
faith,
that
this
is
open.
Space,
Brook,
Charter
Schools
already
raising
the
money
to
to
build
it
and
and
and
will
build
it
and
maintain
it
so
that
that
would
have
been
another
alternative.
It
may
not
meet
the
section
97
restrictions,
but
we
don't
want
to
do
anything
on
that,
but
operate
a
field
and
maintain
it.
But.
D
Easement
they've
been
asked
the
number
of
entities
and
no
one
will
hold
it,
because
the
field
is
a
turf
field
and
very
close
to
a
wetlands
and
there's
concern.
Most
people
don't
want
it's
the
kind
of
space
that
you
would
sort
of
need
to
monitor
as
a
conservation
restriction,
and
they
don't
want
the
responsibility.
U
Yeah
I
I
won't
I
won't
pretend
to
speak
for
the
reasoning
behind
every
group
that
we
approach,
but
one
of
the
issues
with
the
protect
with
the
the
typical
eea
approved
conservation
restriction
is
that
it's
typically
for
undeveloped
or
very
likely
developed
land
right.
It's
it's
really
meant
to
be.
You
know
an
open
field
with
some
walking
paths
and
things
like
that.
U
That's
the
typical
situation
where
one
of
those
CRS
is
in
place
here,
where
there's
going
to
be
a
a
substantial
amount
of
improvements
to
the
property
with
as
cheap
white
Hammond
mentioned
the
the
ball
field
and
bleachers
and
there's
some
you
know,
concession
stands
and
parking.
That's
not
the
typical
situation
where
you
would
see
a
CR
and
results
in
a
much
more
burdensome
monitoring
obligation
for
impacts.
U
It's
a
lot
easier
to
drive
by
a
field
than
say
you
know
they
haven't
done
anything
there
than
it
is
to
sort
of
look
at
something
more
complicated
and
built
up
like
this
and
and
try
to
determine
whether
there
have
been
changes
to
the
impacts
of
that
from
what
was
originally
built.
And
so
we
found
it
more
difficult
and
just
so
you're
all
aware
that
the
precedent
that
we're
drawing
from
is
what
was
done
in
the
Fort
Point.
U
Sorry
in
fan,
Pier
down
in
the
seaport
where
there
are
open
space
Parcels,
we
look
to
those
as
as
a
sort
of
another
example
of
developed
but
publicly
available
and
accessible
open
space,
and
we,
we
sort
of
built
off
of
that
precedent,
to
try
to
address
some
of
the
concerns.
We
have
added
in
the
more
recent
Jurassic
Express
language,
ensuring
that
the
intent
is
clear
that
this
is
to
be
perpetually
preserved
under
article
97..
So
you
know
I
I,
guess
all
I
would
say
is
I.
U
D
I
was
gonna,
say
I
I
want
to
note
that
the
some
of
the
fan,
pure
exact
example,
is
exactly
why
there
are
concerns
because
you're
right,
they
they
have
to
Grant
Public
Access,
but
it
they
could
pave
it
over
and
they
can
do
a
lot
of
things
to
change
it
extremely
significantly
and
all
it
guarantees
is
the
public.
Has
the
app
has
the
right
to
move
through
it?
So
I
think.
D
The
idea
that
that
Jerry
mentioned
is
one
that
I
could
be
open
to
the
idea
that
if
it
changes
in
any
significant
way,
they
lose
the
deed
or
it
reverts
to
us,
and
we
could
lay
out
what
those
conditions
are
and
open
what
I'm
not
what
is
challenging
is
I,
hear
one
thing
from
you:
I
hear
another
thing
from
almost
everyone
else,
so
I
need
you
to
propose
something
that
I
can
get
the
state
to
agree
am
I.
Even
my
own
team
to
agree
will
protect
the
land.
D
D
But
my
understanding
is
that
an
easement
is
not
sufficient
for
that
to
be
the
case
that
an
easement
from
what
I
understand
doesn't
provide
that
protection.
I
am
willing
to
keep
that
conversation
open.
I
am
not
closed,
but
I
am
I
want
to
be
crystal
clear.
It
has
to
be
article
97
protected
in
perpetuity.
U
I
I
absolutely
and
I
I
appreciate
that
perspective
and
I'll
say
that
on
the
development
side
we
have
the
exact
same
intent
and
and
again
I
think
the
most.
The
most
helpful
thing
would
be
a
conversation
with
Council
for
the
parks
department,
because
the
entity
at
the
state
level-
that's
that's
ultimately
responsible
for
ensuring
that
article
97
protection
is
in
place.
Is
the
SJC
actual
very
strongly
very
confidently
that
the
SJC
has
held
that
these
situations,
when
properly
drafted,
can
provide
these
protections.
N
V
Because
because
I'm
I'm
under
construction
already
and
ready
to
dig
the
foundations
and
ready
to
do
and
and
I-
and
this
last
month
has
cost
me
half
a
million
dollars
and
the
next
month
will
cost
me
more
we're
ready
to
be
ready
to
build
the
80
units,
we're
not
ready
to
build
the
field
and
you
we
won't
build
the
field
until
you
get
the
protection.
It.
B
L
L
and
with
the
development
that
I
have
been
watching
over
the
last
13
years,
I'd
like
to
comment
New
Boston
fund,
Lena
Park,
the
developer,
to
always
listen
to
the
voices
coming
out
of
the
community
and
also
for
improvement
or
to
the
benefit
of
the
homeowners.
I'm
excited
to
hear
that
we're.
Finally,
moving
into
the
Final
Phase
of
building
the
80
homeownership
units.
L
What
I've
been
seeing
for
the
last
14
years
to
be
just
space
that
is
waiting
to
be
built.
I
also
want
to
comment
the
developer
to
keep
this
area
for
the
last
14
years
to
be
a
peaceful
Oasis
for
the
homeowners
to
live
in
I
cannot
really
Express
in
words
on
how
peaceful
it
is
here
in
the
middle
of
the
city
having
a
Oasis
that
they
are
building
I'm
a
little
puzzled
over
the
discussion
of
the
for
acre
field.
L
What
this
actually
has
to
do
with
the
80
units
that
we're
discussing
that
also
that
we're
discussing,
but
from
a
CAC
perspective,
I
understand
there
is
an
LDA
agreement
in
place
that
has
put
in
place
certain
controls
where
both
Brook
School
is
being
held
responsible
too
anyway.
Thanks
for
taking
my
question
and
comments,
it's
not
really
a
question.
E
Aaron
Kelly,
sorry
thank
you,
Aaron
Kelly,
acting
director
at
the
Boston
Nature
Center.
Thank
you
for
taking
my
my
comment.
I
appreciate
everyone's
continuing
attention,
both
the
commission
and
the
developer
in
regards
to
two
areas
for
phase
four:
the
potential
increase
of
storm
water
runoff
into
the
Boston
Nature
Center,
along
our
shared
boundary,
as
well
as
into
the
shared
Wetlands
of
the
two
sites.
As
we
know,
a
substantial
increase
in
stormwater
runoff
will
have
an
adverse
effect
to
that
Wetlands
functionality
as
well
as
a
detriment
to
the
tree
canopy
along
the
boundary.
E
We
have
reviewed
and
are
satisfied
with
the
existing
stormwater
design
for
this
project,
and
we
hope
that
there
will
be
continual
monitoring
of
its
Effectiveness
as
well
as
any
changes
in
grade,
so
that
not
only
during
this
project
but
into
the
future.
Our
boundary
is
protected
from
increased
storm
water
and
we
also
want
to
applaud
the
developer
for
the
increase
of
the
the
tree
canopy,
as
well
as
the
protection
of
the
six
Legacy
trees
and
11
trees
in
the
resource
area.
B
H
H
The
only
restriction
at
this
point
seems
to
be
again
disagreement
with
him
lawyers
and
just
how
we
can
accomplish
that,
so
that
it
suits
everybody
and
certainly
is
not
a
lack
of
will
or
desire
on
the
part
of
community
of
Boston
or
the
school.
So,
however,
we
can
restrict
it
so
that
it
kind
of
meets
those
needs.
Well.
Creating
the
active
Recreation
space
that
our
students
in
the
broader
Community
have
asked
for,
and
we're
excited
about,
having
available
to
them
would
be
fantastic.
H
So
we
obviously
also
anticipate
being
in
front
of
this
commission
again
in
the
future.
To
present
more
in
more
detail
about
the
actual
field
project
itself,
but
certainly
any
clarification
that
Paul
and
the
commissions,
the
parks,
lawyers
and
The
state
lawyers
can
do
to
just
get
to
a
place
of
firm
understanding
of
what
will
satisfy.
E
B
Z
Yes
good
afternoon,
can
everyone
hear
me
you
can
awesome
awesome.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
having
me
today.
My
name
is
Kevin
Sibley
I
am
the
new
CEO
at
Lena,
Park
CDC,
and
as
we
discuss
these
units
today,
I
want
to
First
say
that
I've
been
a
Boston
resident
for
a
long
long
time,
50
plus
years
now
and
I've
seen
this
city
change
in
many
ways.
Z
Many
ways
that's
been
not
friendly
to
the
current
residents
in
terms
of
the
economy
in
terms
of
how
how
buildings
have
changed
the
entire
landscape
of
the
city,
especially
the
inner
city.
However,
in
this
area
for
the
last
14
13
14
years,
I've
been
paying
close
attention
to
the
to
this
The
Preserve
in
Olmsted
green
development
and
this
last
80
units.
Z
This
phase,
four
has
been
everyone's
involved,
has
been
very
intentionally
inclusive
to
inform
the
neighborhood,
the
inform
the
community
of
what's
Happening
they've,
been
re,
responsive
to
any
type
of
questions
or
concerns,
so
I
I
just
want
to
add
that
and
I
also
want
to
add
my
ex
my
my
strong
support
for
the
proposed
soccer
field.
That's
going
to
be
built
to
use
by
the
community
neighbors
as
as
Reverend
white
hemen
referenced
earlier.
Z
Carmen
mentioned
having
a
very
safe
and
tranquil
environment.
That's
what
I've
noticed
that
this
that
this
particular
project
is
bringing
and
as
an
additional
resource
we
partnered
greatly
with
the
brook
school
and
it's
a
valuable
resource
for
that
school
and
other
local
schools
and
youth
organizations,
as
well
as
Community
groups,
of
which
I've
been
part
of
quite
a
few.
So
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
this.
I
know
that
there
are
some
some
pieces
that
need
to
be
put
together.
Z
I
also
know
that
we're
all
in
the
same
team
to
enhance
the
enhance
the
living
and
quality
of
life
for
those
who
live
in
the
Boston
and
live
and
choose
to
live
in
the
Boston
area.
So
I
know
this
will
bring
people
together
and
Foster
a
sense
of
community
as
we
move
forward.
So
thank
you
for
the
time
today.
I
greatly
appreciate
it
and
I
welcome
any
questions
at
any
time.
P
P
Thank
you,
commissioner.
My
name
is
Quinn
balasich
I'm,
the
project
manager
at
the
bpda
assigned
to
The
Olmsted
green
project,
as
Jerry
and
Paul
alluded
to
this
development's
part
of
a
larger
project
that
has
completed
the
article
ad
approval
process
and
its
subsequent
design,
reviews
and
processes.
P
The
project
has
the
support
of
the
BPA
and
we're
excited
to
bring
these
affordable
homeownerships
online
as
quickly
as
possible.
We
have
been
involved
in
talks
with
all
parties
involved
in
this
for
months
trying
to
reach
an
acceptable
resolution
to
the
open
space
protection
and
we
remain
committed
to
being
involved
in
those
discussions
as
appropriate
until
everyone
reaches
an
agreement
that
all
are
comfortable
with.
Thank
you.
B
B
J
J
So
someone
one
of
the
Commissioners
asking
why
we
have
to
do
this
today,
because
we've
been
held
up
for
months
around
this
Challenge
and
I
know.
As
someone
Paul
may
have
said,
hey
we
don't
know
why
some
folks
have
not
been
willing
to
hold
the
Restriction
I'm
not
going
to,
of
course
speak
for
everyone,
but
it's
going
back
and
forth
in
many
many
emails.
Many
many
conversations.
Many
many
meetings
to
have
an
AstroTurf
feel
that
close
is
part
of
the
issue.
J
J
What
I
found
is
I,
hear
many
users,
not
all
say
they
want
to
ask
return:
What,
I,
Hear
many
Advocates
say
they
don't
want
after
Turf
they
want
it
to
be
grass
and
but
what
I
know
is
I
live
in
New,
England
and
I'm
thankful
that
we
don't
have
two
feet
of
snow
on
the
ground
right
now,
and
that
is
one
of
the
challenges
about
using
grass.
So
why
these
80
units
these
80
units
can
contain,
and
why
are
they
so
important?
J
I
want
to
just
go
back
to
when
I
was
first
elected
in
2010?
There
were
nothing
but
foundations.
So
calm
is
one
of
the
the
folks
who
were
there,
who
were
those
initial
owners,
but
we
have
gone
through
an
enormous
amount
of
effort
to
get
another
set
of
owners
on
that
site
from
Foundation
from
Sheila's
team.
I
can
even
go
through
all
the
folks
who
got
us
Jerry
and
his
team
to
get
to
the
point
where
everyone
is
talking
about
an
oasis
today.
But
when
my
first
email
came
in
from
this
group,
it
was.
J
This
is
horrible.
How
many
people
are
parking
in
this
neighborhood
just
dumping
in
this
neighborhood,
and
we
have
gone
through
tremendous
effort
to
get
it
from
Just
foundations
left
in
the
downturn
of
the
last
development
development
cycle
to
now
and
Oasis
these
last
80
units,
our
ownership
unit,
that
bring
Commonwealth
Builder
funds
into
this
community.
We've
fought
for
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
to
create
opportunities
for
people
who
live
in
my
neighborhood
I
live
two
blocks
away.
J
J
Yes,
so
yes,
I,
don't
want
the
trees
cut
down
and
let
them
not
have
the
caliper
treaties
come
back
and
things
of
that
nature
I
also
want
the
protection
on
the
field,
but
I
want
the
economic
Justice
that
comes
with
the
fact
that
I
would
have
80
units
of
home
ownership.
That's
affordable
in
my
neighborhood.
That
is
a
vital
point.
J
I
don't
want
that
to
be
lost,
and
so
I
am
absolutely
adamant
that
the
community
we've
heard
from
are
there
folks
who
we've
heard
from
that
are
not
happy.
Yeah,
they're
gonna
always
be
those
folks,
but
we
have
to
make
the
tough
decisions,
and
that
is,
we
have
to
still
do
what's
right
for
the
whole
community
and
the
thousands
of
people
served
by
Brook
by
Lena
by
those
who
just
walk
through
the
property.
J
J
B
B
AA
When
City
attorneys
need
to
find
out,
you
know
get
up
to
speed
on
those
kind
of
issues.
They
call
me
so
I
I
just
want
to
Talk
a
bit
about
the
Smith
case
that
Mr
momney
referred
to
it's
known
as
Smith
versus
Westfield.
The
Westfield
is
a
town
in
rather
City
in
Western
Massachusetts.
They
proposed
to
develop
a
school
on
a
playground.
AA
The
deed
for
the
playground
did
not
say
the
words,
oh,
that
it
was
acquired
for
playground
purposes.
So
therefore,
per
an
earlier
SJC
decision,
the
famous
landmark
a
land
Long
Wharf
case
it
was
unprotected
by
article
97..
So
the
case
was
brought
by
folks
in
that
City
many
many
people,
environmental
groups,
Etc
wrote
in
to
to
seek
in
favor
of
protecting
this.
AA
The
SJC
came
down
on
the
side
of
protecting
this
particular
site
because
years
prior
to
this
decision
to
build
a
park,
they
had
one
shown
this
playground
in
a
list
of
protected
parks
in
the
city's
open
space
and
Recreation
plan
one,
but
more
importantly,
two.
The
city
had
accepted
money
from
the
federal
government,
it's
known
as
the
land
and
water
conservation
fund,
a
grant
that
has
obligations
to
maintain
the
park.
In
that
condition
to
not
be
converted.
AA
If
there's
a
proposal
to
convert
it,
you
have
to
go
to
the
Secretary
of
the
Interior
to
get
permission,
and
it's
pretty
onerous.
Based
on
that.
The
fact
that
this
protection
by
the
federal
government
is
considered
like
a
gold
standard
protection
even
more
onerous
than
article
97,
because
the
state
legislature
can
vote
to
release
a
a
piece
of
land
from
article
97
and
no
replacement
is
required,
whereas
with
the
land
and
water
conservation
fund,
you
have
to
replace
it
with
lands
of
equal
value.
AA
You
know
in
a
approximately
the
same
location.
This
is
a
pretty
high
bar
in
any
city
or
a
town
in
Massachusetts.
So
it's
considered
a
gold
standard.
Only
recently
has
article
97
come
up
to
that
standard.
A
new
state
law
mandated
an
Alternatives
analysis
and
this
and
if
the
analysis
yields
no
possible
alternative
to
converting
the
land,
then
replacement
has
to
be
found,
so
they
this
the
article
97,
is
coming
up
to
that.
But.
AA
The
conservation
restriction
has
always
been
seen
as
at
that
what
I
call
Gold
Standard
level
that
the
land
and
water
is
at.
It
involves
State
approval,
local
approval,
including
city
council
and
Par
commission
approval
or
Conservation
Commission
approval,
depending
on
the
kind
of
restriction.
It
is
so
further
proof
of
that.
It's
a
gold
standard
is
the
community
preservation
act
which
mandates
that
any
land
acquired
by
a
city
or
town
that
has
signed
on
to
the
CPA
has
to
have
a
conservation
restriction
on
the
property.
AA
AA
I
D
So
Aldo,
the
challenge
is
that
when
we
have
held
conservation
restrictions
in
the
past,
we
also
control
permitting
in
other
matters,
and
my
understanding
is
that
is
not
an
option.
So
I
think
we've
already
explored
that
option
of
whether
or
not
it
would
become
a
parks
department
asset
and
then
we
would
hold
the
conservation
restriction.
But
then
we
would
also
do
permitting,
as
we
are
doing
in
the
case
of
another
asset
on
a
street
in
remind
me
in
the
four-point
channel
area.
D
But
we
are
not
willing
to
hold
a
restriction
and
then
have
no
like.
We
literally
just
turned
down
two
other
folks
for
the
possibility
that
would
hold
the
conservation
restriction
while
not
having
any
involvement
in
the
project.
So
I
think
that
and
I'm
I'm
sensitive
to
the
fact
that
we
are
about
to
lose
people
in
terms
of
time.
But
I
do
want
to
say
this.
Nobody
wants
to
stand
in
the
way
of
affordable
housing.
I
was
living
my
early
years
on
tennis
Road,
not
far
from
there.
I
know
multiple
residents
of
the
development.
D
However,
my
job
in
this
role,
because
I
could
have
been
an
activist
on
the
other
side,
is
to
make
sure
that
we
preserve
open
space,
not
for
the
now
I.
Don't
distrust
the
intentions
of
anyone
on
this
call.
However,
if
you
don't
get
the
language
right,
we
will
all
be
dead
and
gone
and
someone
else
will
be
making
the
decision
and
if
we
haven't
set
it
up
properly,
we
create
the
opportunity
for
someone
not
sitting
here
right
now
to
change
the
land,
so
it
is
not
that
I
am
against
affordable
housing.
D
Some
of
you
know:
I've
gotta
have
gotten
in
trouble
myself
out
there
protesting
on
behalf
of
affordable
housing,
I
believe
in
it.
I
also
believe
that
I
need
a
provision
that
is
not
just
based
on
a
person's
opinion
with
all
due
respect.
Paul
I'm
I'm,
not
saying
that
you
are
not
good
at
your
job.
What
I'm
saying
is
I
need
something
that
multiple
people
agree
will
provide
the
protection
for
this
land
after
everyone
on
this
call
is
gone.
D
So
I
want
to
make
a
proposal
as
to
how
we
might
vote
to
move
forward
because
I,
don't
think
the
question
is
make
it
happen
or
not,
and
we
are
not
trying
to
hold
it
up,
but
we
are
trying
to
get
to
the
point
where
it
is
done
and
it
is
done
to
everyone's
satisfaction
and
I.
Think
I've
been
very
consistent
and
clear
about
what
my
expectation
is
and
I
would
like
to
see
something
other
than
an
attempt
to
convince
me
personally,
based
on
your
opinion
that
it's
correct
take
it
to
the
state.
D
You
get
eea
to
sign
off
on
it
and
they
tell
me
yes,
this
provides
article
97
protection.
I
will
gladly
because
they're
the
ones
most
responsible
for
our
97
protection
and
if
they
tell
me
that
it's
right
that
I'm
willing
to
step
back
I'm,
not
a
lawyer,
I,
don't
claim
to
be,
but
I
do.
I
cannot
sign
off
on
something
that
the
state
gives
me
the
opposite
opinion
as
the
lawyer
that
is
on
on
behalf
of
the
proponent.
D
So
my
suggestion
is
that
we
sign
off
on
the
moving
forward
and
that
we
figure
out
what
is
the
time
frame
by
which
this
can
all
get
worked
out,
because
we've
been
in
conversations
for
two
months
and
I
think
I've
been
saying
the
same
thing
for
two
months.
What
would
it
take?
What
is
the
amount
of
time
that
is
required
to
get
us
to
something
Jerry,
your
suggestion.
First
time,
I've
heard
it
could
work
right
if
it
ever
is
moving
outside
of
open
space,
they
lose.
V
D
V
So,
what
what
I,
what
I
want
I
want
to
give
Paul
and
I?
Don't
remember
who
the
Aldo
and
and
the
State
Environmental
a
chance
to
do
it
the
way
they're
thinking
but
I
can
guarantee
you
that
Brook
charter
school
and
myself
will
give
you
that
we'll
revert
it
back
to
you
if
it
even
ankles
over
not
being
open
space.
So.
V
D
D
D
V
B
Go
ahead,
close
off
public
comments,
so
we
don't
have
the
back
and
forth
and
with
just
the
Commissioners
can
discuss
whatever
we
want
as
the
provision
to
be
just
so
they
don't
chime
in.
So
if
any
of
the
current
Parks
Commissioners
want
to
chime
in
on
any
provisions
and
stuff,
and
just
ask
everybody
that
is
not
a
commission
member
to
mute
themselves.
B
D
B
So
we'd
be
fine.
If,
if
the
Commissioners
agree,
we'd
be
fine
to
vote
in
approval,
but
if
there's
not
something
figured
out
by
June
30th,
then
there'd
be
a
stop
work
order
or
something
put
in
place.
If
something
isn't
decided
by
then,
because
if
we
don't
want
to
wait
till
CEO
or
something
like
what
is
the
I.
D
D
D
Okay,
so
the
official
motion
will
be.
We
vote
to
approve
moving
forward
on
the
new
80
unit
construction
project
and
allowing
that
permit
to
to
proceed
with
the
Proviso
that
an
agreement
will
be
reached
no
later
than
June
30th
of
this
year.
That
provides
adequate
protection
for
the
Four
Acre
parcel
that
both
the
city,
Brook
Charter,
new
Lena
and
the
state
can
all
and
throw
bpda
in.
There
can
all
agree
on
and
I
would
say
Parks
rather
than
just
the
city
parks.
B
And
the
state,
so
let
me
repeat
what
I
heard
just
to
make
sure
it's
an
official
one,
so
there's
a
vote
to
approve
Olmsted
green
phase,
four
adjacent
to
the
Boston
Nation
Center
in
Mattapan
to
go
ahead
and
get
building
permits
with
a
Proviso
that
there's
an
agreement
no
later
than
June
30th.
That
provides
adequate
protection
for
the
Four
Acre
open
space
site
that
Parks
the
state,
bpda
New,
Lena,
Boston
and
Brook
Charter
School
agree
to
is.
V
C
So
the
last
item
is
just
the
provision
of
the
comment:
letters
that
bprd
has
provided
during
article
80
review,
meepa
review,
concom
review
and
board
of
appeal
review
in
2022.
There
I
think
about
32
letters
there.
Many
of
them
are
very
in
depth
on
specific
projects
that
we're
proceeding
through
Arctic
lady
review
in
particular,
and
it's
they've
all
been
provided
to
you
for
your
information.
If
you
certainly,
if
you
have
any
questions
or
comments
about
any
of
them,
we're
always
available
to
answer
them
and
I
don't
want
to
take
any
more
time
today.
C
B
You
care
I
mean
it's
a
lot.
I
just
want
to
say.
First
of
all,
on
behalf
of
the
commission,
thank
you
for
the
extensive
letters.
If
anyone
has
seen
Carey's
letters,
she
goes
very
in
depth
right
and
ask
the
right
questions
to
ask
very
thoughtful,
and
it
takes
a
numerous
hours.
I've
been
on
the
phone
with
her
at
10
pm
some
nights
when
she's
in
the
middle.
She
then
goes
on
until
sometimes
two
or
three
in
the
morning.
Still
writing
these
letters.
