Clarendon St. Tot Lot Design Meeting #3 May 6, 2021
A
A
So
I
think
we're
all
zoom
pros
by
now,
but
just
to
go
through
a
couple,
quick
tips
and
reminders.
As
I
mentioned,
we're
asking
that
you
keep
your
cameras
and
your
microphones
turned
off
during
the
presentation
portion,
but
that
you
turn
them
back
on
during
the
discussion
during
that
time.
You
can
raise
your
hand
and
unmute
yourself
once
called
upon
if
there's
additional
prop.
A
There
is
additional
prompts
that
if
you
want
that
indicate
yes
or
no,
if
you're
calling
in
tonight,
which
I
think
that
we
did
see,
a
phone
call
in
you'll
need
to
dial
star
nine
to
raise
your
hand
and
then
we
can
unmute.
You
also,
if
you
have
a
question
during
the
presentation,
feel
free
to
add
that
to
the
chat,
so
we
can
make
sure
to
answer
those
during
the
discussion
time
we'll
do
our
best
to
actually
answer
them
throughout
the
presentation,
but
in
terms
of
keeping
the
flow
going.
A
So
today
tonight's
agenda
is
introduction
of
the
project
team
and
background
site
analysis
and
what
we've
heard
overall
considerations
presentation
of
the
preferred
plan,
we're
gonna
do
listening
and
discussion
and
then
we're
going
to
have
closing
remarks
and
next
steps.
Next,
as
I
said,
my
name
is
nathan.
Frazee
from
the
project
project
manager
from
the
parks
department
from
my
department
is
christine
brandeo,
our
outreach
coordinator
she's
an
excellent
contact
for
the
friends
groups
as
well
as
any
other
friends
related
activities.
A
A
We
went
into
more
of
these
details
of
these
in
prior
meetings,
so
certainly
go
back
to
the
previous
presentations.
I'll
also
say
one
of
the
other
elements
of
community
input
is
working
session
groups
so
directly
working
with
friends,
groups
or
the
schools,
as
well
as
other
city
agencies
such
as
landmarks.
We
did
have
a
advisory
meeting
with
landmarks
in
april,
as
well
as
working
with
the
schools
in
the
friends
group
next,
so
the
five
elements
of
play
within
playground
design
is
social,
physical,
cognitive,
sensory
in
communication.
A
A
Next,
so
a
little
bit
of
history
of
the
site,
it
us
there
was
originally
a
six-story
hotel
that
was
corr
constructed
in
1869
and
eventually
demolished
in
the
50s
in
the
60s.
There
was
a
proposal
for
a
17-story
project
that
the
community
opposed
and
after
a
lot
of
outreach
and
campaigning
from
back
bay
mothers.
With
a
march
directly
to
the
mayor,
the
city
took
ownership
in
1975
and
opened
the
site
as
a
playground
in
1979.
A
A
B
B
Obviously,
the
presence
of
109,
comm
of
and
and
the
various
parts
and
pieces
around
the
site,
and
also
just
wanted
to
say,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
very
well
organized
and
comprehensive
feedback
that
we've
been
getting
as
it
relates
to
a
lot
of
these
existing
conditions,
completely
appreciate,
really
understanding
where
people
are
at
understanding
the
history
of
the
site.
All
of
that
is
incredibly
useful
and
just
want
to
recognize
that
I
think.
B
Obviously,
as
we
look
at
this
site,
we
are
incredibly
mindful
of
these
existing
mature,
shade
trees
and
the
important
impact
they
have
on
the
city
and
the
neighborhood,
and
also
recognize
that
there's
a
lot
on
the
site
that
we
want
to
keep
in
on
the
site.
But
in
some
cases
things
really
do
need
to
be
adjusted
or
repurposed
or
relocated
in
order
to
create
a
more
inclusive,
equitable
open.
Next.
B
So
some
of
the
things
that
we
heard
certainly
there's
a
desire
to
have
the
service
gate
and
emergency
access
along
the
alley,
be
shifted,
also
understanding
that
the
the
flavor
of
the
playground
is
beloved,
and
we
totally
get
that,
and
I
also
recognize
that
you
know
some
folks
are
thinking
well.
Do
we
even
need
to
update
the
play
equipment?
Well,
the
play
equipment
is
old,
not
older
than
me,
but
old.
B
B
B
I
think
another
piece
that
is
important
is
understanding
that
we're
trying
to
create
a
site
that
really
is
able
to
serve
a
bunch
of
different
ages,
and
that
becomes
especially
important
in
the
various
parts
and
pieces
that
go
into
the
redesign
and
also
recognizing
that
you
know
this
is
a
place
this.
This
small
footprint
does
a
lot
for
a
lot
of
different
people,
so
it
has
to
be
a
multi-tasker
as
it
continues
to
evolve.
Next.
B
And
then
you
know
the
fixed
play
surfacing
a
lot
of
what
you
see
is
remnants
of
you
know,
making
the
site
accessible
and
compliant,
but
also
recognizing
that
the
fibar
mulch
wears
away
at
the
bottom
of
the
slide
really
quickly.
So
these
are
remnants
of
sort
of
ongoing
operation
and
maintenance,
and
I
feel
like
this
renovation.
One
of
the
big
goals
is
to
really
integrate
all
of
that
operation
and
maintenance
into
the
design
so
that
we're
not
getting
these
sort
of
makeshift
solutions
again.
B
The
tree
academy,
the
open
play,
there's
the
learning
projects
at
stones,
which
we
are
mindful
of
knowing
that
drainage
is
important
everywhere,
and
that
is
an
urban
park.
It
is
one
of
the
few
places
that
actually
has
pervious
surfacing,
so
we
want
to
really
be
smart
about
how
we
manage
stormwater
and
then
making
sure
that
the
site
is
really
inclusive,
not
just
for
physical
inclusivity,
but
also
developmental
inclusivity,
so
tactile
play
imaginary
play
all
sorts
of
things
like
that
gross
motor,
fine
motor.
B
C
Thanks,
sherry
yeah,
so
I
think
that
this
has
been
such
a
great
collaborative
process
like
sherry
and
nate
mentioned
that
we've
got.
We've
gotten
really
informative
experience
from
people
who
have
been
there
every
day
and
experience
it
and
have
are
some
of
the
original
people
who
have
seen
how
this
park
has
changed
over
time.
So
we're
really
grateful
for
all
the
feedback
and
we
continue
to
be
impressed
by
everybody's
investment
in
this
process.
C
C
We'll
also
be
looking
to
install
port
in
place
rubber
surfacing
in
the
majority
of
the
rest
of
the
playground
and
the
anything
that
we
do
install
will
have
a
really
natural
color
scheme.
So
that
fits
in
with
the
feel
and
aesthetic
of
the
neighborhood
we'll
also
create
gateways
and
define
spaces
with
changes
of
material
in
the
lower
left
image.
You'll
see
the
use
of
wood
in
a
bridge
or
in
different
play
elements.
C
We're
really
trying
to
use
a
few
materials
like
wood
and
granite,
surfacing
and
different
things
like
that
that
make
it
feel
like
it's
been
there
forever,
and
it's
really
integrated
and
cohesive
throughout
the
entire
space
and
then
we'll
well
we're
trying
to
use
interesting
and
natural
pathway,
material
that
creates
areas
of
discovery
and
texture.
One
of
the
big
things
we
heard
was
that
kids
don't
have
a
ton
of
places
that
live
in
the
city.
They
don't
have
a
ton
of
places
to
go
and
really
feel
the
earth.
C
C
C
We're
also
taking
a
look
at
seeding,
both
formal
and
informal
seating,
and
trying
to
bridge
the
gap
between
more
the
historic
feel
of
back
bay
with
the
natural
wood
and
older
materials
that
we're
introducing
into
the
park,
and
then
the
right
image
is
one
that
really
inspired
me
personally
is
using
materials
like
wood
to
create
delineations
between
space.
That's
not
just
a
fence
or
a
wall,
but
it
actually
has
play
value
to
it.
C
So
this
is
a
great
example
at
mit,
where
they
did
just
that
so
I'll
just
dive
into
the
preferred
plan
and
I'll
break
it
down.
So
this
is
the
overall
and
I'll
just
spend
a
few
moments
on
this
and
then
dive
into
the
specific
elements.
There's
a
lot
to
turn
through
in
here
and
then
we'll
also
kind
of
go
through
each
play
piece
itself
and
then
be
able
to
vote
on
what
we
like
so
I'll,
try
to
keep
pace
with
all
the
material
to
get
through.
C
Just
to
orient
you
we're
looking.
The
page
is
due
north
co.
109
comm
ave
is
page
left
on
the
west
side
and
claritin
street
page
right
on
the
east
side.
Comm
ave
is
forming
the
bottom
of
the
page
itself,
we're
gonna
we're
planning
to
keep
open
play
where
it
is
currently
and
it's.
This
plan
is
attempting
to
maximize
it
as
much
as
possible.
That's
what
we
heard
loud
and
clear
that
the
open
play
is
the
most
valued
piece.
C
Kids,
don't
really
have
a
space
to
run
and
stretch
their
legs,
so
this
is
the
this
is
the
place
they
do
it
so
we're
trying
to
maximize
that
as
much
as
possible.
This
is
a
bit
smaller
than
what
it
is
currently
and
it's
just
really,
because
we're
trying
to
create
an
edge
along
109,
comm
ave,
that's
respectful
of
those
neighbors
and
tries
to
deter
some
of
the
kickball
action
and
little
lacrosse
ball.
C
We're
planning
we're
hoping
to
put
a
large
five
to
12
year
old,
play
structure
in
the
north
eastern
corner
of
the
playground
along
the
eastern
edge,
a
pretty
big
sensory
play
area.
That's
another
thing
we
heard
loud
and
clear
is
that
sensory
play
was
something
that
we
really
wanted
to
expand
and
get
as
much
out
of
as
we
possibly
could.
C
We'd
also
like
to
include
a
basket
swing
in
that
area.
That's
a
great
spot
where
kids
can
all
pile
onto
one
swing
and
play
together
and
then
in
the
core
of
the
playground,
we're
trying
to
be
sensitive
to
the
tree
roots
and
things
of
those
core
trees,
but
make
use
of
that
hillside
like
I
was
just
mentioning
with
the
elevational
changes
of
the
playground.
C
C
We
would
make
use
of
bridges
or
wood
platforms
to
bring
you
into
the
port
and
place
rubber
area
and
that's
by
and
large,
obviously
the
most
space
that
is
taking
up
this
playground.
That
would
largely
be
fixed.
The
only
play
area
that
wouldn't
have
the
rubber
would
be
the
sensory
play,
and
that's
just
to
make
sure
that
we
can
maintain
that
tactile
feel
in
that
space.
C
C
But
the
mix
of
the
two
will
create
a
really
nice
texture
against
the
open
play
area,
and
then
we
have
several
areas
that
are
informal
either
logs
or
steppers
or
granite
boulders.
That
would
form
edges
around
the
playground
and
create
define
the
space
of
the
playground,
but
also
be
seating
opportunities
for
parents
or
caregivers
or
teachers
who
would
be
overseeing
their
kids
playing
around.
C
C
This
zone
is
focused
on
the
two
to
five
and
it
sort
of
bridges
the
gap
with
the
5
to
12
year
old,
play
area
in
this
back
corner.
We
have
a
structure
that
we'll
see
in
greater
detail
in
a
few
slides,
so
you'll
understand
the
components,
and
I
just
would
note
that,
for
all
these
larger
play
structures,
it's
really
a
mix
and
match
scenario
with
these
with
manufacturers.
C
So
we
tell
them
what
are
the
elements
that
we
really
are?
You
know
we
have
to
have
on
these
play
structures
and
we
can
fit
them
to
make
whatever
kind
of
shape
we
want.
So
whatever
you
see
just,
I
think
one
thing
we'd
love
to
hear-
and
we've
heard
a
bit
from
the
working
group
is:
what
are
the
elements
that
are?
C
C
As
you
move
down
into
the
core
of
the
park.
This
is
really
where
you
see
the
open
play
and
the
wooden
edge
along
the
comm
ave
109
comm
ave,
we're
proposing
a
low
hedge
here,
we've
heard
from
the
working
group
that
there
used
to
be
planting
along
this
edge
and
so
we'd
try
to
pick
something
that
wasn't
going
to
impede
the
views
from
the
windows
that
are
on
the
garden
level,
but
something
that
tries
to
kind
of
mitigate
some
of
the
kickball
issues
that
we
that
they're
seeing.
C
We
also
really
liked
the
amphitheater
seating,
that's
out
there
now,
but
we
wanted
to
do
it
in
a
way
that
was
incorporating
the
materials
that
we're
proposing
throughout
and
has
more
of
a
natural
organic
feel.
So
we're
looking
at
different
ways
to
arrange,
granite
blocks
and
timber
blocks
as
well.
To
create
not
only
seating
but
ways
to
scramble
up
and
down
through
the
space,
so
the
open
play
becomes
an
area
that
can
be
run
through
and
in
a
circuit,
more
or
less
we're
also
looking
at
ways
to
have
softened
the
grove
of
trees.
C
That
is
in
the
middle
right.
Now,
it's
doing
really
well
and
there's
a
lot
of
useful
kids
run
through
the
space
quite
a
bit,
so
it
just
takes
a
beating
so
we're
we're
proposing
here
an
elevated
deck
that
would
pick
people
up
off
of
those
tree
roots
and
really
let
them
breathe
and
get
a
lot
of
that
use
off
of
the
trees.
C
And
then
we
were
thinking
that
it
would
be
helpful
to
introduce
some
planting.
That's
protected,
like
bulletproof
planting
that
can
soften
this
area,
because
it
is
quite
open
and
and
a
bit
harsh
in
my
opinion,
and
then
this
this
allows
us
to
really
build
in
some
play
along
this
embankment.
So
we
would
be
up
higher
by
you
know
two
not
too
much
but
maybe
three
feet,
and
then
we
can
have
an
embankment
slide
here
in
this
silver
tone.
We
can
build
in
some
ropes
and
posts.
C
We
can
build
a
little
log
ladder,
things
like
that,
so
we
can
make
in
handholds
as
well.
So
we
can
make
use
of
this
in
embankment
in
a
in
a
bunch
of
different
ways,
then,
in
terms
of
sensory
play,
we'd
like
to
include
tables
and
chairs
a
desk
where
kids
can
pick
up
buckets
of
mulch
and
and
play
with
them,
long
fallen
logs
and
a
play
hut,
and
then
we'll
have
a
circular
bench
here
with
a
deck
as
well
as
a
meeting
center
spot
in
the
lower
or
more
of
the
front
of
the
playground.
C
Here
is
where
we'll
this
will
be
the
main
kind
of
port
entry
to
the
playground.
We'll
still
keep
a
little
portico
here
with
seating,
but
we
were.
We
wanted
to
create
spaces
where
you
could
get
down
into
the
open
play
and
make
that
connection
from
upper
to
lower
level.
It's
about
three
feet
of
change,
so,
while
we'd
still
want
to
maintain
the
wall
here,
we
think
that
we
can
build
in
some
of
those
learning
center
stones
to
create
a
little
stepped
pathway
down
into
that
space.
C
C
We'd
also
like
to
create
a
little
discovery
trail
along
the
front
edge.
It's
already
a
desire
line,
so
this
would
really
create
a
secret
spot
that
still
is
visible
from
the
street,
but
is
a
little
kind
of
secret
zone
that
you
can
get
to
play
a
little
faster
in
a
different
way
and
we're
imagining
that
this
is
maybe
a
textured
floor
of
timbers
that
are
set
in
the
ground
and
then
has
edges
that
are
logs
and
boulders.
C
C
This
is
the
structure
that
is
included
in
the
plan.
Currently
it's
a
traditional
post
and
beam
structure.
It
can
be
roofless,
so
keep
that
in
mind.
We
don't
need
roofs
and
we
can
modify
it
so
it
can
be
more
open.
It
was
something
that
the
school
desired
just
to
make
sure
it's
really
visible
and
open
throughout.
C
We
are
looking
at
other
companies,
and
this
is
another
option
that
is
offered
through
company
again,
like
I
had
mentioned
earlier,
a
lot
of
these
play
elements
can
be
mixed
and
matched.
This
is
just
an
example,
but
if
you
tell
us
what
we
have,
we
really
like
this
kind
of
climber
these
rails,
then
that's
those
are
things
that
we'll
take
back
to
the
company
and
tell
them
to
work
with
them
to
make
a
play,
structure
that
fits
also
combian
can
do
ruthless
structures.
C
C
B
I
think
it's
important
to
note
cassie,
while
we're
voting
the
results
of
the
voting.
Don't
necessarily
you
know
mean:
oh,
okay,
that's
the
structure.
It's
just
simply
to
gauge
folks
that
are
with
us
today
to
see
where
people
are
thinking
and
just
get
a
sense
of
what's
popular
and
what's
it's
resonating
with
people.
A
A
C
Pretty
close
60
40
for
richter,
it's
helpful
data
to
collect,
so
we
just
have
one
more
poll
and
that's
on
the
two
to
five
year
old
play
structure.
So
the
top
image
into
the
left
side
is
the
richter.
Playhut
combo,
though
yellowy
images
are
just
models.
They
wouldn't
look
like
that.
They
would
look
more
like
the
top
precedent
image,
but
that
is
what
is
in
our
plan
currently,
and
the
other
option
is
the
compound
version
of
that
which
is
got
that
more
fairy
tale
feeling
to
it.
C
A
And
I,
and
I
got
a
question
asking
if
they
are
real
word,
would
yes,
these
are
our
natural?
Are
our
real
hardwood
with
natural
rot
resistant
characteristics,
so
the
maintenance
of
them
is
not.
You
know
the
classic.
You
know
treatment,
you
know
to
deter
rotting.
These
are
these
are
designed
and
to
avoid
those
chemicals.
C
Yeah,
so
the
richter,
one
is
larch
wood
and
the
campion
ones
are
robinia
and
they're
both
really
hard
woods,
and
they
also,
we
don't
embed
them
in
the
earth,
they're
actually
like
a
steel
plate
and
a
foundation
so
that
we're
not
the
wood
doesn't
rot
because
it's
sitting
in
wet
soil
and
things
like
that.
So
there
are
ways
to
design
it
so
that
it's
not
not
as
vulnerable
as
just
regular
old
one.
C
C
We
also
just
wanted
to
offer
a
few
other
thoughts
for
alternatives
in
terms
of
the
we
can
still
have
the
base
wings,
but
there
are
a
few
different
types
of
swings
that
we
can
include
if
people
are
excited
by
these
they
have
these
duo
swings
and
then
the
you
and
me
swing
offered
through
combine
and
then
there's
also,
this
nate
called
it
the
viking
swing,
which
is
kind
of
an
awesome
name
for
it.
It's
called
the
pendulum.
C
We
would
obviously
not
color
it
green.
We
can
pick
any
color
under
the
sun,
but
this
is
a
bit
of
a
different
way
to
swing.
That
would
be
helpful
to
hear
if
people
are
interested
in
that
and
it
it
does
fit
in
the
plan.
So
we've
checked
and
of
all
the
boxes
in
terms
of
layout
and
such
in
terms
of
in
independent
play
pieces.
The
bur
liner
disk
is
the
spinner
that
we've
included
in
the
plan.
We've
used
this
at
other
playgrounds.
C
It
is
a
really
high
play
value
piece,
people,
kids
love
it
and
they
can
all
pile
on.
Then
we've
also
included
a
few
kind
of
natural
looking
animal
fun.
Stepping
stones
throughout
there
are
a
few
other
there's
so
many
different
kinds
of
spinners
out
there
there's
this
more
inclusive,
not
more,
but
this
is
another
inclusive
play:
spinner
this
tippy
carousel
and
then
there's
these
pole
spinners
that
are
called
the
spika.
C
In
terms
of
the
sensory
play,
elements
we're,
including
these
are
all
in
plans.
Some
are
play,
equipment,
pieces
and
others
would
be
fabricated,
designed
and
fabricated
by
us.
The
sensory
logs
are
one
example
where
we
can
affect
hand
holds
to
them.
We
have
stepping
stomps
boulders,
like
talked
about
throughout
the
whole
playground.
You
can
also
build
an
open
playhouse,
that's
open
throughout,
so
it's
got
an
open
back
and
an
open
front.
That
really
is
great
for
imaginative
play.
A
Great
thank
you
cassie,
so
cassie's
gonna
as
she
said,
she's
gonna
leave
that
image
up
there,
just
as
a
reference
for
us
to
speak
so
just
to
go
over
the
zoom
tips.
One
more
time
now
that
we're
at
the
the
discussion
portion
of
the
meeting,
if
everybody
who
is
comfortable,
could
turn
their
cameras
on.
So
we
can
see
everybody's
face
and
kind
of
stimulate
as
much
as
possible
a
real
in-person
meeting.
A
A
F
F
I'm
wondering
about
the
open
play
space,
which
is
often
used
for
soccer
games
and
at
one
end
the
soccer
ball
gets
stopped
by
the
wall.
At
the
other
end,
it
gets
stopped
currently
by
a
by
a
fence
that
separates
the
end
of
the
play
space
that
alley
side
and
from
where
the
the
swings
are.
Currently,
I'm
wondering
what
would
stop
so
the
goals
are
at
the
opposite
ends
of
this
open
play
space
and
I'm
wondering
what
would
stop
the
soccer
ball
being
kicked
into
the
play
area.
C
Yeah
I'll
jump
into
that,
I
think
one
of
the
great
things
about
this
wall
is
that
it
can
be
built
to
whatever
height
we
want
it
to
be,
and
it
has
those
holes
through.
So
I
think
we'll
we'd
like
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
going
to
become
a
nuisance
for
that
age.
Group
that's
playing
next
door,
and
I
we'd
also
like
to
put
a
gate
right
here,
which
I
apologize.
F
Yeah
I
mean
sometimes
the
soccer
ball
comes
up
over
the
at
the
opposite
end.
It
comes
up
over
the
current
wall,
that's
with
the
children,
I've
supervised
there,
that's
a
penalty
and
they
have
to
go
sit
out,
but
I'm
just
mentioning
that
they
sometimes
don't
have
perfect
control
over
the
height
to
which
they
kick
the
ball
yeah,
and
it
can
go
flying
over
that
already.
F
G
G
Yes,
okay,
first
just
by
introduction,
I
I'm
one
of
the
residents
at
109
commonwealth
ave.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
my
unit
is
the
guiding
level,
so
we
directly
about
the
playground
area.
I
just
want
to
echo
in
terms
of
the
thought
process.
That's
gone
into
this
is
is
is
very
impressive
and
as
one
who
also
uses
the
park
in
terms
of
my
grandchildren
and
the
best
initiatives
to
make
sure
that
it
meets
all
their
requirements
as
well.
However,
I
do
want
to
raise
some
concerns
around
the
open
space
area.
G
It's
I
fully
appreciate
that.
There's
many
a
ferocious
soccer
game
that
takes
place.
You
know
we
see
it
first
hand.
Our
windows
just
sometimes
used
to
deflect
the
ball.
What
concerns
us,
though,
is
that
takes
place
during
the
the
school
year
for
the
most
part
and
during
the
week,
but
during
the
weekends
and
in
other
periods,
you
know
you
have
other
uses
and
as
a
playground,
it's
really
not
a
play
ball
area
and
what
happens
is
there's
a
lot
of
hardball
play.
G
So
we
have
people
that
come
in
with
lacrosse
balls
that
are
very
hard
as
well
as
baseballs
and
those
quite
frankly,
and
not
just
a
safety
issue,
as
it
relates
to
the
residents
and
potentially
broken
glass.
But
it's
also
a
social
safety
issue
for
the
children
who
are
playing
in
the
playground
and,
unfortunately,
I'm
not
a
police
officer.
I've
had
the
police
be
involved
in
police
matters,
and
I
know
one
of
the
discussions
was
to
put
a
sign
up
about
no
hard
ball
playing.
G
But
I
was
wondering-
and
I,
by
the
way
I
with
all
due
respect-
I
don't
think
that's
going
to
work
because
again
we
can't
sell
police.
I
was
wondering
if
there's
any
other
ways,
besides
just
putting
the
bushes
in
in
rock's
potential
of
mitigating
that
impact,
if
there
could
be
trees
put
in
between
the
windows
or
some
other
consideration.
C
Yeah
no,
I
mean
that's,
definitely
been
something
that
we've
been
working
through
through
this
design
process
and
have
heard
from
really
everybody
who's
weighed
in
that
the
falls
against
the
facade
of
the
building
is,
is
a
tough
part.
You
know,
as
as,
like
a
con
to
all
the
great
benefits
that
the
open
play
offers.
C
So
it's
certainly
a
challenge,
and
if
somebody's
on
from
the
second
floor,
I'd
love
to
hear
what
their
input
is
is
on
having
trees,
because
I
guess
I'm
just-
I
don't
want
to
block
any
windows
by
doing
that,
but
I'm
certainly
in
favor
of
doing
columnar
trees
that
are
really
tight.
If
that's
something
that
the
community.
H
C
A
It's
beside
it,
so
I
think
what
some
of
the
comments
and
concerns
is,
if
our
gate
would
swing
out
into
the
parking
spot,
which
we
can
certainly
design
it,
so
that
our
gate
is
not
doing
that
and
the
intent
of
this
gate,
which
we
spoke
about
in
previous
meetings
and
and
what
we're
going
to
be
working
on
is,
is
that
this
will
have
like
a
panic
bar
type
feature.
Then
it's
not
going
to
be
intended
to
be
an
everyday
use
park.
A
H
E
Good
evening,
congratulations
again
it's
getting
better
and
better.
I
don't
know
if
you
see
my
you
see
me.
I
tried
to
like
from
my
kitchen
window
or
shoulder,
and
I
exactly
second,
what
the
previous
person
said.
If
you
I
don't
know
if
you're
gonna
sleep,
but
that's
exactly
in
the
back
and
you
see,
the
silver
car
is
really
parked
in
front
of
where
you
want
to
put
the
the
emergency
exit.
E
It's
not
gonna
work
like
I'm
sorry
to
to
be
that
negative,
because
everything
is
wonderful
and
it's
something
new
with
something
all
is
really
congratulation,
but
I
would
urge
you
to
like
think
twice
about,
but
the
emergency
exit
on
that
side.
Again,
I'm
not
a
neighbor
on
the
other
side
of
the
street.
I
I
could
care
less
what
it
is.
It's
just
like
it's
not
going
to
be
functional
thanks
sure.
I
Yeah
I
have
a
couple
of
comments
on
this
back
corner,
which
is
a
problematic
corner.
I
mean
one
solution
would
be
to
square
it
off
with
fencing
and
put
the
actual
gate
on
the
alley
line
so
that
there
is
no
chamfer
on
the
back,
because
the
property
line
is
straight
to
the
alley
so
that
you
might
look
at
that
is
the
in.
I
don't
know
if
the
scale
the
drawing
but
the
shed
looks
smaller
but
you're
just
going
to
move
the
existing
shed
right,
correct.
C
I
Good,
my
other
question
is
about
this
decking
and
I
know
I
raised
this
in
one
of
the
subcommittee
meetings
about
that.
This
is
a
similar
thing
that
they're
looking
at
in
copley
square,
to
protect
the
trees
and
one
of
the
things
that
came
up
there
was
how
high
is
it?
What
is
underneath?
Can
you
get
underneath?
How
is
it
closed
off?
What
material
is
it
can
do?
Have
you
thought,
through
any
of
those
design
elements
for
that
particular
thing,
yet
that
you
can
talk
about.
C
C
It'll
be
elevated
because
it
currently
is
elevated
in
the
area,
but
we
imagine
it
in
this
particular
application
to
be
almost
flush
with
the
planting
such
that,
if
you
imagine
the
sea
wall,
that's
out
there.
Now
it's
like
at
that
level
and
then
there'll
be
a
layer
of
crushed
stone
and
probably
will
do
some
sort
of
structure,
structural
fill
or
something
to
alleviate
the
of
the
tree
roots
and
give
them
some
more
breathing
room.
But
we
haven't
detailed
that
out.
I
C
D
J
J
I
do
have
just
a
couple
questions.
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
can
kind
of
elaborate
more
on,
what's
going
to
be
going
on
behind
that
historic
front
wall
and
how
high
is
are
you
proposing
for
that
fence
or
not
the
fence
but
kind
of
the
wood,
the
wooden
structure
along
109,
calm,
and
are
you
still
considering
maybe
having
a
water
source
out
of
the
shed?
Thank
you.
J
C
It's
better
in
the
this
view,
maybe
actually
maybe
a
little
hard
with
the
trees,
but
we're
imagining
that
we
keep
that
wall
intact,
but
we
kind
of
add
to
it
or
expand
areas
where
we're
building
out
the
wall.
So
it's
less
kind
of
structured
in
some
parts,
but
it
still
retains
that
kick
wall
element
to
it.
Maybe
it
might
be
better
to
see
in
this
enlargement
is.
C
J
D
D
C
Those
views
I'm
imagining
it's
like
an
18
inch
high
wall
that
can
also
be
a
seat
wall,
and
then
we
would
plant
on
top
of
that,
whatever
mix
of
materials
we
ultimately
end
up
on.
Our
initial
idea
was
to
do
like
a
hedge
row
along
that
edge,
but
we're
you
know
hearing
other
thoughts
on
that.
Okay
and
we're
imagining
it
to
be
that
similar
to
that
precedent,
image
shown
at
the
top
of
the
preferred
plan.
C
C
A
J
A
K
Yeah,
thank
you,
I'm.
I
really
appreciate
all
the
thought
that's
going
into
this.
It's
it's
a
very
challenging
thing
to
get
everybody
in
the
same
space
and
have
it
all
function,
and
I
I
don't
envy
you
cassie
at
all,
trying
to
sort
all
this
stuff
out,
but
a
couple
of
comments.
My
my
sort
of
overall
overarching
thing
which
I
will
keep
repeating
is
that
every
time
I
see
I
go
by
and
I
live
at
the
end
of
the
alley.
K
I
see
kids
tearing
around
and
I
hope
that
you
can
maintain
enough
open
space.
So
they
can
continue
to
do
that
because
they
don't
get
a
lot
of
chance
to
run
and
they
not
only
run
in
the
open
play
area,
but
they
run
in
the
back
along
the
alley
where
the
spinner
is
and
they
run
around
the
equipment
and
they
play
tag
and
they
carry
on
and
it's
quite
fun
to
watch.
But
I
hope
it
can
continue.
K
A
And
sue
I
just
before
you
go
on
to
the
next
point.
There
was
a
question
earlier
about
if
we
were
removing
any
trees
and
I
incorrectly
said
we
are
preserving
all
of
them,
but
you
just
reminded
me
that
at
the
commonwealth
side
there
are
a
few
magnolias
that
we
would
be
looking
at
addressing
those
conditions
so
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Yes,
thank
you
for
j.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
I
was.
K
L
Hi
there
I
also
want
to
echo
my
my
thanks
and
my
appreciation
for
all
of
your
hard
work
on
this
project.
It's
been
so
nice
to
know
that
our
feedback
is
with
each
iteration.
I
see
that
that
our
feedback
is
is
being
taken
into
consideration.
So
thank
you
very
much.
One
thought
I
have
on
the
109,
the
comm
ave,
the
the
mini
wall
that
you're
you're
talking
about.
L
One
is
in
terms
of
the
sensory
play
area,
it
sounds
like
there's,
gonna
be
mulch
there,
but-
and
I
know
that
there's
going
to
be
a
desk
that
I
believe
on
one
of
the
images
it
had
a
funnel
and
some
other
you
know
equipment.
Maybe
that
could
be
used,
but
I'm
just
not
sure
what
the
kids
are
going
to
do
with
what
they're
going
to
be
doing
with
the
purpose
of
the
play
will
be
without
sand.
D
C
A
There
it
is
so
what
some
of
these
that
that
one
is
basically
a
scoop.
So
I
I
know
my
daughter
is
always
digging
and,
and
so
the
mulch
you
know,
unfortunately,
we
can't
have
sand,
but
what
we
can
still
do
is
allow
the
kids
to
kind
of
dig
through
the
mulch
and
then
the
black
piece
you
see
on
that
is
a
spinner.
So
as
you
dump
the
mulch
or
you,
you
pour
that
that's
going
to
interact
with
with
the
material
you're
pouring
on
it.
L
A
I
I
want
whatever
the
community
wants.
Is
that
too
cheesy
of
an
answer?
No,
I,
but
in
all
seriousness
I
think
it
does
need
to
be
catered
to
the
specific
needs
of
the
community.
I
know
you
guys
mentioned.
The
element
of
monkey
bars
is
really
important.
That's
a
rite
of
passage
for
kids
at
this
park,
so
that's
an
element
we're
going
to
want
to
preserve,
and
so
we
need
to
look
and
see.
You
know
what
the
monkey
bars
are.
A
The
options
for
each
of
them
are
and
compare
them
and
make
sure
that
we're
giving
you
what
you
want,
because
if
one
of
them
doesn't
meet
kind
of
the
existing
type
of
play,
then
obviously
we'll
want
to
avoid
that,
so
that
we
can
ensure
it's
it's.
It's
checking
the
boxes
for
what
happens
in
this
specific
park,
not
just
in
general.
A
With
that
being
said,
I
I
I
don't
have
I
I
personally
don't
have
a
preference
towards
either
one
of
them.
It
may
be
that
my
daughter's
into
fairy
like
fairies
and
stuff
right
now,
so
I
lean
towards
the
compound
one
just
because
I
think
it
looks
like
some
of
the
fairy
houses
she
plays
with.
But
that's
just
a
one-off
type
comment:
cassie.
Would
you
have
any
preference.
C
A
L
C
It's
bath
time
in
my
house
and
it's
a
little
hectic
and
I
wanted
to
be
on
mute
for
a
second
there.
First,
for
what
we
have
currently,
I
believe,
there's
a
bay
of
two
swings
and
then
a
tire
swing.
That's
no
longer
there
and
then
there's
toddler
swings
in
the
front.
Like
sue
was
just
mentioning,
so
we
would.
We
would
not
be
eliminating
the
number,
but
we
would,
we
might
even
be
adding
one
extra.
L
A
But
again
the
one
thing
to
consider
that
is
obviously
what
we're
graphically
showing
on
this
slide
here
is
the
compound
duo
swing.
That's
shown
there
that
puts
two
kids
on
what
traditionally
would
have
been
just
one
swing,
so
it
can
be
used
by
a
single
kid
or
it
can
be
used
by
two
kids.
So
it's
actually
doubling
the
occupancy
that
that
can
be
used
in
that
space.
A
And
then
I
just
saw
sue
made
a
comment
about
toddler
swings.
We
are
including
toddler
swings
as
well
and
then
there's
a
comment
about
if
we're
considering
metal
playground
equipment
so
a
lot
of
times
they're
more
of
like
a
hybrid
approach
where
they're
metal
and
wood
that's
kind
of
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
we
got
for
early
feedback
on.
This
is
the
desire
to
have
a
lot
of
natural
materials.
A
So
that's
that's
our
schedule
as
it
stands
right
now,
without
seeing
any
other
questions
coming
up,
I
think
we
can
maybe
close
a
little
bit
early,
enjoy
the
fact
that
it's
still
sunny
out
while
sort
of
sunny
out
in
a
beautiful
day.
I
do
also
want
to
point
out
that
earlier
council
councillor
bach
posted
her
contact
information.
We
also
have
lauren
brody
from
her
office
here
so
again,
if
there
are
any
other
bigger
issues.
They're
great,
thank
you
lauren.
A
So
we
don't
typically
once
we
we.
What
we
typically
do
from
here
on
out
is
we
try
and
continue
to
get
into
the
construction
documents
and
ensure
that
it's
meeting
the
character
of
what
this
plan
is.
Obviously
things
will
push
and
pull
a
little
bit
as
we're
starting
to
actually
put
this
into
that
construction
document
modes,
but
we
usually
don't
come
back
at
that
point.
C
I
A
Yes,
that's
absolutely,
especially
since
we
have
such
a
such
an
active
friends
group
here,
those
those
fine
level
details
were
certainly
going
to
be
coordinating
with
you
guys,
especially
since
we
rely
on
you
guys
to
do
a
lot
of
the
maintenance
of
those
plants.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
all
on
the
same
page
with
that.
D
A
A
Sure,
primarily,
what
the
working
group
has
functioned
as
is,
is
the
schools
in
the
friends
group
here,
and
a
lot
of
that
is
focused
on
the
type
of
play
equipment
and
in
the
use
of
the
play.
I've
been
trying
to
make
sure
I
speak
to
the
109
trustees
and
incorporate
all
of
the
feedback
that
they
get
so
that
that
was
kind
of
the
dual
approach
we
were
taking
on
that
okay,
I.
G
I
also
serve
as
a
trustee,
so
I
I
you
know
I
I
don't
want
to
end
on
a
negative
note,
but
I
I
think
that
most
of
the
residents
of
109
were
late
to
this
because
they
weren't
part
of
the
original
discussion,
and
it
would
just
be
more
collaboratively
you
know,
handled
if
we
were
participating
in
it.
I
mean
I
think,
for
the
most
part,
everybody
is
very
impressed
and
and
positive,
and
you
know
again,
we
it's
obviously
we're
the
greatest
area
impacted
from
a
day-to-day
standpoint.
C
G
A
D
B
A
And
for
the
spinner
too,
the
one
the
one
nice
thing
about
that
is
not
only
is
it
the
kids
on
the
spinner,
but
it's
the
kids
interacting
around
it,
so
my
daughter,
personally
hates
being
on
a
spinner.
She
loves
to
make
me
sit
on
the
spinner
and
then
spin
me,
which
is
the
worst,
but
that's
that's
how
she
interacts
with
it.
So,
even
if
you
have
three
or
four
kids
on
the
spinner
you're,
most
likely
gonna
have
two
or
three
on
the
perimeter.
You
know
getting
them
getting
them
going
around.
So
yeah.
A
Certainly-
and
I
think
one
thing
to
build
on
that
too
is
is-
and
I
know
per
robert's
comment
earlier
about
potentially
some
sort
of
tree
or
something
along
that
the
edge
of
their
property.
We
would
definitely
be
coordinating
that
with
them
to
ensure
that
that's
in
line
with
what
what
will
literally
be
right
outside
their
window,
so
we'll
make
sure
that
that
is
coordinated
and
everybody's
in
agreement
on
that
as
well.
C
We
have
a
question
again
about
the
spinner
and
how
kids
hold
on
so
for
and
the
basket
swing
so
in
the
basket
swing.
It's
like
it
has
the
rope
connections
to
the
top
bar,
so
kids
hold
on
that
way
and
can
also
hold
on
to
the
basket
itself
and
then
with
the
spinner.
It
has
like
a
rounded
edge
to
it
and
so
kids
can
grab
on
that
way.
That's
really
the
main
way
that-
and
it's
also
it's
angled
up,
so
it
almost
like
cups,
kids
and
that
also.
A
K
A
That
was
a
fun
history
and
then
I
also
read
about
the
cabots
and
that
lived
in
109
as
in
just
dropping
history
points,
potentially
the
first
actual
motorized
flight
in
america,
not
the
wright
brothers,
but
from
the
cabots
right
here
in
massachusetts.
So
that's
kind
of
neat
and
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
doing
is
you
know
the
the
stones
and
that
we
have
scattered
throughout
the
site.
Is
it?
Is
there
the
possibility
that
we
could
start
to
take
some
of
these
other?
A
Well,
you
had
dirty
kids.
That
was
enough
to
get
the
job
done
so,
but
I
I
think
we
can
still
build
and
try
and
incorporate
some
of
those
some
of
those
features
potentially
getting
either
stone,
printing
or
metal
engraving
with
some
of
the
some
of
the
images
and
the
buildings
that
we
showed
earlier.
I
think
it's
you
know
when
you
look
at
that
site
it
it
looks
like
it's
always
been
a
park
right.
A
C
Well,
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
really
kind
of
continuing
along
with
us
in
this
process,
because
that's
what
it
is.
It's
an
evolving
iterative
process
that
we're
going
through
to
come
to
the
right
to
design
for
everyone
here
and
for
all
the
kids
that
use
the
space.
So
thank
you,
everyone
and
we
are
sure
to
be
in
touch
with
how
things
are
evolving
and
come
back
with
questions
and
things
on
detail
so
be
ready.
A
Sure
so
this
this
meeting
will
be
posted
to
the
project
page.
So
if
you
had
any
friends,
neighbors
or
colleagues
that
could
not
make
it
tonight
before
sure
to
direct
them
to
that
page
where
they
can
see
a
recording
on
that
page
as
well
as
what
we
showed
earlier
is
my
contact
information,
so
you
can
certainly
feel
free
to
send
me
an
email
and
and
I'll
make
sure
all
of
those
comments
are
incorporated
in
the
meeting
notes
as
well
with
that
said,
everybody
have
a
great
evening.
I
appreciate
it
all
the
input.
