C
You
good

on
behalf
of

of
Neighborhood
Development,
my
name
is
Jonathan
Spillane
I'm,
a
housing
development
officer
in
the
neighborhood
housing
division
of
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
I'm,
here
requesting

Parker
Street
and

are
Parker

for
Humanity,
as
outlined
in
the
vote
package.
C
D&Amp;D
conducted
an
extensive
public
process
that
resulted
in
this
vote
request.
Three
separate
community
meetings
were
held
two
to
discuss
the
development
of
these
parcels.
These
community
meetings
were
held
on
June,
9th
July
21st
July
10th
2016
after
receiving
resident
support.
Dean
D
then
issued
the
RFP
on
March
17th
2017,
with
a
RFP
due
date
of
April
28th
2017.
C
Three
development
teams
applied
to
the
RFP
two
were
determined
to
be
ineligible
at
Habitat
for
Humanity
was
determined
to
meet
the
eligibility
criteria.
The
preferred

was
then
introduced

on

PFC
approved
the
tentative

designation
of
Habitat
for
Humanity.
The
vote
package
included
a
comprehensive
memo
about
the
project
and
PFC
vote
requests
and
I've
also
included
handouts.
C
This
project
is
expected
to
create
3827
construction
hours,
which
will
generate
local
job
opportunities.
The
sale
of
these
two
parcels
can
also
be
expected
to
yield
long-term
financial
benefits
to
the
city.
By
removing
these
parcels
from
our
inventory,
the
city
will
be
able
to
avoid
the
future
costs
and
liabilities
associated
with
maintaining
these
properties.
The
city,
the
city,
stands
to
save
an

five
thousand
two

So,

have
been

the
city's
inventory
for
72
years,
28
years
and
26
years.
The
project
is
expected
to
create
seventeen
thousand
seven
hundred

seventy
seven
construction
hours,
which
will
generate
local
job
opportunities.
C
The
sale
of
these
parcels
can
also
be
expected
to
UO
the
long
term
financial
benefits
to
the
city.
By

parcels
from
our
inventory,
the
city
will
be
able
to
avoid
the
future
cost
and
liabilities
associated
with
maintaining
these
properties.
The
city
stands
to
save
an
estimated
eight
thousand
five
hundred
and
eleven
dollars
by
passing
on
responsibility
for
property
maintenance
to
z,
capital
investments.
In
addition,
the
city
will
receive
two
hundred
ninety
five
thousand

which
is
reflective
of
the

Requesting
PFC
approval
for

to

incorporated
for
the
parcels
identified
in
the
vote
package.
This
is
in
the
Mission
Hill
section
of
Boston
D&E
conducted
an
extensive
public
process
that
resulted
this
vote
request,
and
that
goes
back
several
years.
So
to
refresh
the
Commission's
memory,
six
community
meetings
were
held
between
2012
and
2018
to
discuss
the
development
of
these
parcels.
A
request
for
proposals
was
issued
on
June
27th
of
2013
and
advertised
in
the
state
central
register
and
the
Boston
Herald
and
Metro.
G
Seven
development
teams
applied
to
the
RFP
six
were
determined
to
meet
the
eligibility
criteria.
All
eligible
developers
were
invited
to
a
community
meeting
to
present
their
proposals
on
November
7th
2013
PFC
approved
the
tentative

designation
of
Sebastian
Mariska's
studio,
incorporated
and
subsequently
extended.
Extensions
have
been
approved
to
keep
the
project
moving
forward.
G
G
In
summary,
if
PFC
approves
the
vote
request,
it
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits:
the
creation
of
sixty
total
new
rental
housing
units,
including
twelve
affordable
rental
units
to
be
deed,
restricted
and
remain
affordable
in
perpetuity.
The
increase
to
sixty
units
from
the
original
forty
four
enabled
the
developer
to
achieve
an
efficiency
of
scale
such
that
it
could
address
escalating
construction
and
soft
costs
arising
during
an
abutters
appeal
of
the
project.
G
The
project
continues
to
enjoy
strong
community
support,
including
for
the
new
unit
totals
the
project,
will
revitalize
11
parcels
of
underutilized
and
long
vacant
land
in
the
neighborhood
sebastian
Maris
call
Studio
Inc
has
created
a
site
design
that
leverages
the
steep
grade
of
the
combined
parcels
to
minimize
the
development.
Sorry
to
minimize
the
visibility
of
the
development
from
higher
elevations,
as
you
can
see
in
the
previous
slide,.
G
This
site
will
also
add
a
number
of
public
plazas
and
walkways
that
enhance
access
and
connection
to
the
surrounding
area.
The
project
will
create
an
enlarged
community
garden
that
is
publicly
accessible
to
residents
of
the
development,
as
well
as
a
butters
from
the
community.
The
project
will
also
include
780
square
feet
of
art
space.
These
community
benefits
have
elicited
very
strong
enthusiasm
from
the
neighborhood.
G
The
project
will
be
in
an
energy
positive
development,
meaning
it
will
generate
a
net
surplus
of
electricity
using
a
combination
of
solar
panels
and
energy-efficient
design.
Finally,
the
project
is
also
expected
to
create
an
anticipated
111
thousand
three
hundred
and
fifty
two
construction
hours,
which
will
generate
jobs
among
building
trades.
So
I
am
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.

H
H
During
this
period,
DND
staff
and
B
PTA
staff
met
repeatedly
with
the
Holland
Park
PRC
in
what
we
call
focus
group
meetings
to
review
community
and
city
viewpoints
with
the
goal
of
having
a
unified
voice
on
the
request
for
Proposal
criteria.
After
receiving
community
support,
DND
issued
the
request
for
proposal
on
November
13
2017.
H
The
RFP
was
advertised
pursuant
to
the
provisions
of
Mass
General
law,
a
chapter
30b,
section
16
and
available
to
the
public
on
November
13
2017.
The
advertisement
appeared
in
the
Boston
Herald
on
November
13
2017
and
November
November
20
2017,
as
well
as
the
State
Central
Register
on
November
15
2017,
the
RFP
due
date
was
February,
14,
2018
and
then.
H
Lastly,
in
terms
of
community
process,
once
applications
were
received,
all
eligible
applicants
were
invited
to
a
community
meeting
to
make
presentations
and
DND
sponsored
that
with
the
Haab,
the
Highland
Park
PRC
on
April
7th
in
April
14th
2018.
So
now,
if
I
can
just
transition
to
vote,
five
I
can
do
that
right.
H
Now,
I'm
here
requesting
PFC
approval
of
the
tentative
developer,
designation
of
marcella
120
LLC
for
the
two
parcels
that
Angela
noted
in
the
in
the
package
and
as
I
just
noted,
a
DND
conducted
in
a
an
extensive
public
process
to
development
teams
applied
to
package.
One.
The
aspect
of
the
RFP
and
two
were
determined
to
meet
eligibility
criteria.
H
The
two
eligible
applicants
were
invited
to
a
DND
B
PDA
in
Highland
Park
PRC
sponsored
meeting
on
April
7th
2018,
based
on
the
community
feedback
and
D
and
E
review
of
all
eligible
applications
against
the
RFP
evaluation
criteria.
We
recommend
a
tentative
developer
designation
of
marcella
120
LLC
in
particular,
marcelo
120
LLC's
proposal
is
recommended
due
to
their
extensive
and
successful
track
record,
comparable
energy,
positive
development,
as
well
as
in
homeownership
development,
reasonable
development
cost
and
a
track
record
of
financing
and
complying
with
RFP
requirements.
H
Marsala
120
LLC
was
favorably
reviewed
at
that
community
meeting
that
I
mentioned
earlier
on
April
7
2018.
The
vote
package
contains
a
comprehensive
memo
for
the
PFC
and
I've
also
provided
some
handouts
that
are
with
you,
but
they're
also
on
the
screen
here.
The
first
handout
is
a
site
map
and
you
can
see
the
five
packages
and
I've
highlighted
package,
one
right
there,
that's
on
on
Marcellus,
Street
and
then
second
handout
is
a
sort
of
like
a
site
perspective
plot
plan
of
the
proposed
development
and
then
the
third
is
another
sort
of
site
site
perspective.
H
E
H
So,
in
summary,
if
PFC
approves
the
vote
requests,
it
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits
to
three-story
buildings.
Totaling
three
market
rate
condominium
condominium
units.
The
units
include
one
two-bedroom
flat
and
two
two-bedroom
duplexes.
The
project
will
also
revitalize
two
DND
parcels
that
are
underutilized
currently
and
then.
Furthermore,
the
development
will
be
LEED
Platinum,
with
a
negative
hers
rating
and
what
we
really
mean
by
that
is
the
the
homes
will
create
more
energy
by
way
of
strong
design
and
photovoltaic
panels.
H
They'll
create
more
energy
than
the
actual
use
foot
within
within
the
homes
and
then
finally,
moving
on
this
disposition
will
fulfill
a
part
of
the
neighborhood
and
city
vision
for
development
of
the
broader
Marcella
and
Highland
Street
scored
corridor.
The
sale
of
these
two
parcels
will
also
yield
long-term
financial
benefits
to
the
city.
H
By
removing
these
parcels
from
our
inventory,
the
city
stands
to
save
approximately
$1,500
in
maintenance,
snow,
plowing
costs,
etc,
and,
in
addition,
by
returning
these
properties
to
the
tax
rolls,
the
city
can
expect
to
recoup
at
approximately
seventeen
thousand
dollars
in
first-year
tax
revenue
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
the
Commission
might
have
relative
to
package.
One
here
in
vote,
five.
A
B
H
The
two
eligible
applicants
were
invited
to
the
DND
B
PDA
in
Highland,
Park
PRC
community,
meaning
that
I
I
mentioned,
and
that
was
held
on
April
7th
2018,
a
based
on
community
feedback,
DND
review
of
all
eligible
applications
against
the
RFP
evaluation
criteria.
We
recommend
the
tentative
developer
designation
of
new
urban
collaborative
limited.
In
particular.
This
team
is
recommended
due
to
the
strength
of
the
development
team.
Are
the
strong
design
that
addresses
green
building
energy,
positive
development
and
particular
site
linkages
that
the
neighbor
asked
for
in
our
community
meetings?
H
That
was
reflected
in
the
request
for
proposal
they're
offering
a
mix
of
homeownership
units
in
this
develop
and
what's
unique?
Is
that
they're
providing
a
deeper
affordability?
So
that
was
very
that
was
taken
very
well
in
our
review.
They
also
offer
a
reasonable
development
costs
and
evidence
of
financing.
The
new
urban
collaborative
limited
team
was
favorably
reviewed
at
the
April
7th
2018
D
and
D
BPD,
a
and
community
sponsored
meeting.
This
vote
package
includes
a
comprehensive
map
memo
about
the
project
and
the
PFC
vote
request.
H
H
H
You
could
actually
get
a
sense
of
what
the
slope
is
when
you're
on
Marcella
street,
going
towards
the
beach
glen
street,
which
is
the
upper
street
there
in
summary
of
PFC,
approves
the
vote
request
that
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits:
a
12
new
home
ownership
units
in
five
buildings,
including
eight
total,
affordable
new
homes
with
two
new
homes
at
60%
area,
median
income,
three
homes
at
80%
of
area,
median
income,
three
homes
at
100%
area,
median
income,
and
it
will
have
four
that
will
be
a
market
rate.
So
there's
a
use.
H
Inclusion
of
green
and
open
space
and
neighborhood
linkages
created
by
footpaths
and
a
public
stare,
a
development
that
will
be
LEED
Platinum
would
be
energy
positive
and,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
prior
vote,
because
of
the
great
design
and
the
photovoltaic
panels,
the
homes
will
create
more
energy
and
it
will
be
used.
The
project
will
revitalize
16
vacant
parcels
and
and
finally,
moving
on
this
disposition
will
fulfill
a
part
of
the
neighborhood
in
city
vision
for
development
of
the
broader
Marcella
and
Highland
Street
corridor
sale.
H
The
16
parcels
were
removed,
the
city
obligation
for
maintenance
and
who
stand
to
save
approximately
$27,000
in
operational
costs
and,
furthermore,
first
year
tax
rolls.
We
look
to
recoup
an
additional
fifty
four
thousand
in
in
tax
revenue
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
involving
this
vote.
Six
requests
thank.
D
H
You
very
much
Angela.
This
is
the
third
and
final
vote
for
the
Highland
Marcella
streets,
RFP
package.
This
is
vote
seven
here
requesting
Pfc
approval
of
the
tentative
developer,
designation
of
Rhys
Larkin
Development
LLC
for
the
seven
parcels
that
are
outlined
in
the
vote
request
and
as
outlined
by
Angela
there
in
the
Highland
Park
section
of
Roxbury.
H
Five
development
teams
applied
to
package
for
of
the
request
for
proposal
and
the
five
were
determined
to
meet
eligibility
criteria.
They
were
invited
out
and
they
all
attended
a
community
meeting
sponsored
by
D
and
D
Highland
Park
and
B
PDA
on
April
14th,
a
based
on
community
feedback
and
D&D
review
of
all
eligible
applications
against
RFP
evaluation
criteria.
H
We
recommend
the
tentative
developer
designation
of
Ries
Larkin
Development
LLC
in
Part,
II
and
particulate
esteem
is
recommended
due
to
the
strength
of
the
development
team
design,
including
green
and
energy,
positive
elements
that
address
RFP
guidelines,
a
reasonable
development
costs
and
evidence
of
financing.
But,
furthermore,
a
very
important
in
the
team's
review
and
community
comment.
H
Ries
Larkin
was
the
sole
team
to
provide
a
unit
mix,
reaching
30%
area,
median
income
or
deeper
affordability,
and
it's
it's
doing
so
in
a
limited
equity
cooperative
structure,
and
this
was
emphasized
in
the
request
for
proposal
as
a
priority
and
as
such
was
strongly
supported
by
residents
in
the
Highland
Park
PRC
and
finally,
Rhys
Larkins
plan
was
favorably
reviewed
at
the
DND
BPD,
a
Holland
Park
sponsored
meeting
on
April
14th.
The
vote
package
includes
a
comprehensive
memo
about
the
project
and
the
PFC
vote.
Requests
I've
also
included
handouts
for
vote
7.
H
So
here's
the
the
last
time
you'll
look
at
this
site
map
today,
it's
again
it's
the
RFP
and
you
can
see,
highlighted
up
package
for
it's
on
it's
on
Highland,
Street
and
then
the
next
couple
renderings
are
concept,
rendering
exterior
view
building
building
elevation
again.
Looking
at
the
structure
from
Highland
Street
I.
H
In
summary,
if
PFC
approves
a
boat
requests,
it
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits:
a
23,
limited
equity,
cooperative
housing
type
units
in
one
building,
including
15,
affordable
homes
with
3
at
30
percent
area,
median
income
7
at
60
percent
area,
median
income
and
5
at
100
percent
area
median
income
and
will
also
be
a
layer
of
8
market
rate
units.
An
income
mix
that
achieves
deep
affordability,
strongly
supported
by
residents
with
some
units
at
the
30%
and
60%
ami.
That
I
just
noted.
H
Inclusion
of
gallery
space
and
commuter
makers,
makerspace
and
a
mural
court
green
and
open
space
and
neighborhood
linkages
created
by
footpaths
and
a
Publix
tear
and
then
a
development
that
will
be
LEED.
Platinum
will
have
a
negative
hers
rating,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
two
prior
votes.
That's
consistent
with
city
and
neighborhood
desires,
and
it
was
outlined
in
the
request
for
proposal.
The
project
will
revitalize
seven
parcels
and
then
finally,
as
the
two
prior
votes,
this
will
will
sort
of
help
us
fulfill
the
neighborhood
and
city's
development
of
the
broader
Marcella
and
Highland
Street
corridor.

After

worked
with
community
partners
to
release
an

was
mailed
to
abutters
in

K
You
Angela
good
afternoon,
commissioners
I'm
here
requesting
PFC
approval
of
the
conveyance
to
the
Jamaica
Plain
Neighborhood
Development
Corporation,
for
the
parcel
identified
in
the
vote
package
of
79
call
Street
and
the
Jamaica
Plain
neighborhood
of
Boston
D&D
conducted
a
public
process
that
resulted
in
this
vote.
Quest
to
community
meetings
were
held
to
discuss
the
development
of
the
parcels.
A
request
for
proposals
was
issued
on
January
29th,
2018
and
advertised
in
the
state
central
register
in
the
Boston
Herald
to
development
teams
applied
to
the
RFP
and
both
were
determined
to
meet
minimum
eligibility
criteria.
K
The
Jamaica,
Plain
n
DC
was
invited
to
a
community
meeting
to
present
their
proposal
to
neighborhood
residents
on
May
16th
2018,
the
PFC
approved
the
tentative
developer,
designation
of
the
Jamaica
Plain
Neighborhood
Development,
Corporation
and
notice
of
the
tentative
developer
designation
was
published
in
the
city
record
on
June
4th
and
June
11th
of
2018.
The
vote
package
includes
a
comprehensive
memo
about
the
project
and
the
PFC
vote
request.
I've
also
provided
for
handouts
related
to
this
vote
request,
which
is
displayed
on
the
screen.
The
first
is
a
site
map.
K
In
summary,
if
PFC
approves
the
vote
requests,
it
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits:
eight
new
housing
units,
including
four
homeownership
units
in
four
rental
units.
The
four
homeownership
units
will
be
sold
to
households,
earning
up
to
80
percent
of
the
area,
median
income
and
will
be
deed,
restricted
and
remain
a
photo
for
up
to
50
years.
The
four
rental
units
will
be
rented
to
households
earning
up
to
60%
ami,
with
an
option
to
be
rented
up
to
80
percent
ami,
if
necessary,
for
the
project
to
be
financially
feasible.
K
The
proposed
project
will
revitalize
three
parcels
of
underutilized
vacant
land
in
the
neighborhood.
One
partial
is
owned
by
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
other
two
parcels
are
owned
by
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts.
The
project
is
also
expected
to
create
twelve
thousand
four
hundred
sixty-five
construction
hours,
which
will
generate
jobs
among
the
building
trades.
Also,
the
sale
of
this
parcel
can
be
expected
to
yield
long-term
financial
benefits
to
the
city.
By
removing
these
parcels
from
the
city's
inventory,
the
city
will
be
able
to
avoid
future
costs
and
liabilities
associated
with
maintaining
these
properties.
K
The
city
stands
to
save
an
estimated
$700
in
annual
operational
costs
by
passing
the
responsibility
for
property,
meaning
2
jpn
DC.
In
addition,
by
turning
these
properties
to
the
city
tax
rolls,
the
city
can
expect
to
recoup
an
additional
fifteen
thousand
three
hundred
twelve
dollars
in
annual
tax
revenue
and
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions.

Want
to
thank
you
first
and
foremost
for
your
interest
on
this
topic.
As
you
know,
a
few
weeks
ago,
there
was
some
press
coverage
around
the
city's
policy
regarding
disposition
of
city,
land
and
buildings,
requiring
the
submission
of
a
diversity
and
inclusion
plan
prepared
by
those
responding
to
our
bid
and
opportunities.
This
new
policy
applied

actually
began
this
Paulinus
initiative
in
2017,
this
effort
followed
the
executive
order
issued
by
the
mayor
2016,
promoting
fair
and
equitable
opportunities
for
minority
and
women
entrepreneurs
when
competing
for
city
contracts.
The
executive
order
was
accompanied
by
the
release
of
the
boston,
economic
inclusion
and
equity
agenda,
which
sought
to
address
racial
and
economic
disparities.
Dnd
collaborated
with
the
mayor's
Office
of
Economic
Development
to
achieve
equity
and
real
estate
development
opportunities
involving
city-owned
property.
L
This
collaboration
resulted
in
the
new
requirements
of
a
diversity
inclusion
plan
to
be
submitted
by
applicants
detailing
how
the
applicant
will
seek
to
achieve
meaningful
participation
of
people
of
color
and
women
in
all
aspects
of
activities
in
real
estate
development,
not
just
owners
and
contractors,
but
those
involved
in
finance,
design
and
operations.
The
diversity
and
inclusion
plan
is
one
of
a
number
of
comparative
evaluation
criteria
used
in
considering
proposals.
This
requirement
does
not
pardon
me,
does
not
prescribe
quotas
or
set
in
mandatory
participation
levels,
developers
design
their
own
programs
to
achieve
participation.
L
We
work
closely
with
the
law
department
in
crafting
the
RFP
language,
which
received
legal
approval
in
July
of
2017.
The
indie
has
since
included
the
requirements
in
14
disposition
RFPs
involving
23
parcels
of
land.
In
recent
months,
the
strategy
was
adopted
by
plan
dudley
process
and
used
by
the
BPD
a
and
several
Dudley
square
RFPs
under
the
new
policy
D&D,
the
BPD
a
will
include
these
this
requirement
for
all
dispositions
moving
forward.
We
provided
a
comprehensive
memo
that
includes
a
summary
of
the
diversity
inclusion
plan
language
used
in
our
RFPs.
L
E
We
and
I
can
get
you
those
results.
We
didn't
bring
them
with
us
with
me
today,
commissioner,
but
we're
starting
to
see
more
creative
teams,
we're
starting
to
see
teams
where
the
architects
is
you
know
of
it's
a
minority
architect
or
it's
a
it's.
A
certified,
women-owned
architectural
firm,
we're
also
starting
to
see
other
our
desire
was
to
really
see
other
trades.
E
So,
if
they're
working
with
the
same
law
firm,
what
are
they
doing
to
really
work
and
recruit
associates?
You
know
that
that
may
be
minority
and
start
working
with
them
on
the
real
estate.
So
we're
really
you
know
looking
where
there's
gaps
in
the
system,
we
want
to
see
how
how
they're
going
to
creatively
start
filling
those
gaps
and
growing
those
gaps.
So
I'll
get
your
report
on
scene
so
far,
but
I
really
think
we're
gonna
see
a
lot
of
interesting
teams
come
forward.
October
30
of
the
Dudley
RFPs.
E
E
That's
come
commissioning,
I'm
glad
you
raised
that
that's
come
up
and
I
think
we
need
to
do
more
work
on
that.
So
right.
How
do
you
apply
to
these
RFPs?
How
do
you
assemble
teams
and
if
it's
not
clear
that
there's
a
certain
discipline
and
a
lot
of
representation
in
a
certain
discipline?
How
do
we
grow
that
so
I
think
that's
phase
two.
L
Yes,
and
if
I,
if
I
may
add,
we
did
in
partnership
with
the
Office
of
Economic
Development,
we
started
a
workshop
series
on
how
to
form
joint
venture
workshops,
how
to
apply
that
technical
assistance
that
folks
have
needed,
and
so
a
OD
has
been
running
with
that
sense
and
we
hosted
one
earlier
last
year.
So
that's.
B
Commissioners,
if
I
may
just
note
for
the
record,
since
this
is
a
presentation
for
discussion,
there
is
no
motion
for
approval.
D&Amp;D
has
very
adeptly
presented
this
information,
as
approved
by
Mayor
Walsh
in
his
executive
order,
and
I
would
just
like
to
thank
for
the
record
William
Epperson,
the
assistant
director
for
real
estate
management
and
sales
for
really
rising
to
the
occasion
to
put
together
a
comprehensive
package
for
today
and
also
Rick
Wilson
who's.
The
Deputy
Director
of
Finance
for
DND,
a
very
much
appreciate
their
professionalism
and
the
great
work
that
is
underway
by
D&D.
