A
B
B
F
Thank
you
Angela
and
good
morning,
commissioners,
again
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
Jamie
Smith,
who
was
the
project
manager
for
this,
but
unable
to
be
here
today,
I'm
here
requesting
approval
for
the
tentative
developer
designation
of
FCA
Realty
for
this
parcel.
Here,
that's
displayed
on
the
screen.
Dean
D
conducted
a
public
process
that
resulted
in
this
vote
request.
A
community
notification
letter
was
mailed
to
folks
on
may
22nd
of
2018
notifying
people
of
Dean
DS
intent
to
make
this
parcel
available.
F
A
request
for
proposals
was
issued
on
June
11th
of
2018
and
advertised
in
the
state,
central
register,
the
Boston
Herald
and
the
city
record.
We
received
one
application
in
response
to
that
RFP
and
it
was
determined
to
meet
the
RFP
eligibility
criteria.
We've
included
a
comprehensive
memo
in
the
vote
package
and
we
have
some
handouts
as
well.
So
you
see
here
is
the
sure
how
to
bring
up
the
red
point
to
be.
You
see
the
parcel
there
outlined
in
blue.
It's
a
odd-shaped
forty
feet
by
three
hundred
and
fifty
feet.
Rectangular
parcel.
F
It
appears
to
be
an
old
public
way
that
was
decommissioned.
It
was
routed
to
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
by
the
public
facilities
Commission
on
March
14th
of
this
year,
the
City
Council's
surplus,
the
property
and
August.
The
applicant
owns
the
property
along
soldiers,
Field
Road.
It
is
owned
by
FCA,
which
is
Fiat,
Chrysler
they're
doing
an
automobile
dealership
there.
Their
intention
is
to
use
this
parcel
to
install
soil
retention,
notes.
F
Everything
would
be
subterranean,
they
need
to
improve
the
retaining
wall
that
is
between
this
subject
parcel
and
their
property,
and
the
way
they've
engineered
to
do
that
is
to
use
some
subterranean
soil
nails.
So
they've
expressed
interest
in
our
parcel,
so
they
could
do
that.
The
parcel
also
abut
DC
our
property,
which
is
that
open
space
there
displayed
on
the
screen.
Dcr
has
no
interest
in
this
particular
parcel.
We
reached
out
to
them
before
we
made
it
available.
They
do
not
want
the
parcel
so
we're
proposing
to
sell
it
to
the
abutting
automobile
dealership.
F
F
In
summary,
if
the
public
facilities
Commission
approves
this
vote
request,
it
will
result
in
a
few
public
benefits,
$12,000
of
upfront
revenues
and
an
estimated
six
thousand
dollars
in
annual
ongoing
tax
revenues,
and
it
will
maintain
the
14,000
square
feet
of
open
space
and
preserve
the
existing
tree
canopy.
When
we
convey
this
parcel,
if
the
public
facilities
Commission
doesn't
like
to
prove,
we
would
be
placing
some
deed
restrictions
on
the
property,
making
sure
that
the
existing
tree
canopy
remains,
and
that
is
continues
to
be
operated
as
public
open
space.
B
This
is
an
amendment
to
the
vote
of
September
22nd
2017
to
extend
the
tentative
designation
and
intent
to
sell
period
from
24
to
48
months
to
the
vietnamese-american
initiative
for
development
inc,
otherwise
known
as
via
aid.
His
concerns
vacant
land
located
at
191
Bowden
Street
in
Dorchester.
This
is
a
time
extension
request.
G
You
Angela
good
morning,
commissioners
I'm
here
requesting
PFC
approval
for
an
extension
of
the
tentative
developer,
designation
of
the
Vietnamese
American
initiative
for
development,
Inc,
also
known
as
Viet
aid
for
the
parcels
identified
in
the
vote
package
in
the
Dorchester
neighborhood
of
Boston
Dean
D
conducted
an
extensive
public
process
to
resulted
in
this
vote
request.
Pfc
approved
the
tentative
developer
designation
of
the
Vietnamese
American
initiative
for
development
on
October
5th
2016.
We
are
requesting
extension
to
allow
the
developer
to
wait:
an
award
of
affordable
housing
funds
from
the
state
from
the
HCD.
G
The
project
has
already
received
a
funding
award
from
the
city
of
Boston.
The
project
has
accomplished
the
following:
in
the
past
year,
the
project
to
receive
the
funding
award
from
the
city
of
Boston.
The
project
has
received
article
80
approval
from
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency.
The
project
has
received
zoning
variances
from
the
board
of
appeal.
The
vote
package
includes
a
comprehensive
memo
about
the
project
and
the
PFC
vote.
Requests.
I
have
also
provided
for
handouts
related
to
this
fo
request,
which
are
displayed
on
the
screen.
The
first
is
a
site
map.
G
In
summary,
if
PFC
approves
the
vote
request,
it
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits:
revitalization
of
a
parcel
of
underutilized
vacant
land
in
the
bode
in
Geneva
neighborhood,
that's
been
in
the
city's
inventory
for
more
than
17
years,
41
residential
units
affordable
to
families
with
incomes,
less
than
60%
of
the
area,
median
income,
a
1,000
square
foot,
community
room
and
outdoor
plaza.
The
project
is
expected
to
create
72,000
574
construction
hours
will
generate
jobs
among
the
building
trades.
G
Removing
the
parcels
from
the
inventory
allows
the
city
to
avoid
future
costs
and
liabilities
associated
with
maintaining
the
properties,
and
the
project
is
estimated
to
generate
twenty
three
thousand
six
hundred
fifty
dollars
an
annual
property
tax
revenue
reasons.
For
this
time,
request
include.
The
development
was
not
invited
to
apply
for
the
2016-2017
DHCD
funding
round
due
to
the
high
volume
of
applications
submitted
to
DHCD
that
year.
G
The
development
team
applied
for
DHCD
funding
through
its
2017
2018
funding
round
but
did
not
receive
an
award
development
team
will
apply
for
the
DHD
funding
round
for
its
2018
2019
funding
round
and
in
the
meantime,
the
development
team
continues
to
conduct
D&D
supported,
Design,
Review
and
I'm.
Here
to.
D
This
is
I'm
familiar
with
this
project
and
this
property
for
about
20
years,
so
looking
forward
to
completion
at
some
point,
it
looks
like
we're
really
close,
I
guess
my
question,
which
is
just
really
about
like
DHCD
process
mm-hmm.
How
does
the
process
of
invitation?
Where
can
you
just
apply
for
funding
or
they
have
to
invite
you?
It
sounds
like
they.
H
Changed
their
process,
Thank
You,
Commissioner
Martin
for
the
record,
my
name
is
Sheila
Dillon,
with
the
Department
of
Neighborhood,
Development,
so
I'd
say
approximately
three
or
four
years
ago,
DHCD
changed
the
way
that
they
review
applications.
You
submit
a
preliminary
application
and
you
have
to
show
that
you
that
your
project
is
is
very
far
along
its
design
and
it's
approvals,
etc,
and
then
they
review
that
and
if
they
like
what
they
see
they
invite
you
in,
but
Boston
has
a
tendency
to
send
up
lots
of
good
projects
that
have
that
have
made.
H
You
know
very
substantial
progress,
so
they
can't
invite
all
the
Boston
projects
in
so
in
this
case
they
they
they
didn't
invite
this
one
in
so
now
it
is
a
two-tiered
process
where,
before
it
was
just
a
oh,
you
know
everybody
come
in
and
they
would
fund
a
certain
number.
So
we're
very
hopeful.
This
is
a
wonderful
project,
as
we
all
know,
it's
a
very
important
corner,
so
we're
very
hopeful
to
be
invited
in
this
round
and
succeed.
A
They,
my
question,
though,
is
more
on
and
it
may
not
necessarily
be
this
project,
but
as
we're
extending
projects
for
and
for
legitimate
reasons,
timeframe
so
forth.
Is
it
worthwhile
to
maybe
going
back
to
the
community
and
so
forth,
and
given
even
the
community
and
the
community
process
and
update
on
some
of
this
stuff.
H
It's
a
very
good
point
and
I.
We
we
try
very
hard
to
do
that,
but
this
has
had
its
article
and
approval
for
quite
some
time.
So
it
would
not
be
a
bad
thing
to
make
sure
that
we're
checking
in
this
is
davido
Edelman
and
the
Bowdoin
Geneva
Neighborhood
Association.
So
we
can
certainly
do
that
and
make
sure
that
they're
aware
of
the
process,
because
I
agree
with
you.
Sometimes
the
neighborhood
doesn't
know
what
the
delay
is.
They
just
see
that
nothing's
happening.
So
it's
all
and
it's
a
hard
thing
to
explain.
You
know.
H
A
My
last
item
is
suddenly
always
brought
up.
Is.
Is
that
again
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
with
this
project
more
of
a
philosophical
issue
with
as
we
do
designations
kind
of
transferring
to
the
developer
the
you
know,
whatever
maintenance
needs
to
be
on
that
site
and
so
forth,
so
for
getting
their
extension
another
two
years?
Well,
you
are
doing
the
snow
removal
you
doing
whatever
and
so
forth
again
and
I.
Don't
know
if
it
applies
to
this,
but
just
something
we.
H
Have
we
have
done
that
when
the
when
the
nonprofit
of
the
for-profit
developer
has
a
lot
of
capacity
and
has
a
lot
of
project
sort
of
property
management
capacity?
We've
said
you
know
it's
it's
it's
October.
Can
you
take
over
snow
removal?
The
sidewalks?
Sometimes,
though,
and
such
as
this,
this
is
via
Dade,
it's
a
small
nonprofit.
They
own
very
few
projects.
We
probably
would
because
it's
a
very
important
corner
with
to
two
big
sides.
We
probably
will
maintain
this
one
just
to
make
sure
that
it
gets
done.
So
it's
almost
a
case-by-case,
commissioner.
Okay.
