John.
If

the
vote
request.
Thank.
E
You
good
morning,
commissioners,
on
my
name,
is
John:
feuerbach,
I'm,
a
senior
development
officer
in
the
Neighborhood
Housing
Development
Division
on
behalf
of
DND
I'm
here
requesting
PFD
approval
or
PFC
approval
of
the
conveyance
vote
request
to
Boston
common
solutions
for
the
various
parcels
outlined
in
the
vote
package.
Just
as
a
quick
note,
this
request
involves
the
neighborhood
homes
initiative
we've.
Given
you
some
background
on
it.
It's
the
mayor's
mixed
income,
homeownership
program
that
we've
been
promoting
in
the
neighborhoods
and
just
has
a
further
aside.
E
An
RFP
was
issued
on
March
20th
2017,
due
on
May
22nd
2017,
we
did
RFP
was
advertised
in
the
State
Central
Register.
It
was
also
advertised
in
the
Boston
Herald.
Three
development
teams
applied
to
the
RFP.
The
preferred
developer
was
invited
to
a
community
meeting
actually
community
meetings,
really
on
June
3rd
and
June
15th
of
2017
to
present
their
proposal
and
didn't.
As
I
noted
above
the
on
July
20th
2017
PFC
public
basilis
Commission
approved
the
tentative
developer
designation
of
the
Boston
Common
solutions.
E
Incorporation.
The
vote
package
includes
a
comprehensive
memo
about
the
project
and
the
PFC
request.
I've
also
included
a
number
of
handouts
that
are
outlined
in
in
your
memo,
as
well
as
in
the
in
the
PowerPoint.
The
first
four
images
are
outlined,
these
sites,
upon
which
the
development
will
happen
and
then
the
last
slide
are
some
images
of
the
elevation,
some
of
the
building
elevations.
That
will
be
part
of
the
development,
including
single-family,
side-by-side
duplex
and
some
two
family
homes.
E
The
project
is
expected
to
create
approximately
51,000
construction
hours,
which
will
generate
jobs
amongst
the
building
trades.
The
the
sale
of
the
25
parcels
will
also
be
expected
to
yield
long
term.
Financial
benefits
to
the
city,
including
the
city,
will
be
able
to
avoid
future
costs
and
liabilities
associated
with
the
maintenance
of
the
properties.
So
we
look
to
save
approximately
$24,000
in
yearly
operating
our
operational
costs
and
then
also
we
look
to
have
approximately
a
hundred
and
nineteen
hundred
twenty
thousand
dollars
in
fishier
tax
revenue
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
haven't.
A
F
A
With
that
again,
I
want
to
complement
the
Department
to
issue
an
RFP
at
the
end
of
March
of
seventeen
to
have
construction
start
before
the
years
over
is
great
to
see
these
properties
get
out
there
and
in
a
quick
and
timely
manner
and
so
forth
other
than
that
I
assume,
with
full
expectations.
You'll
have
all
closing
and
so
forth
done
by
the
end
of
this
month,
if
not
by
the
beginning
of
December
yeah,.
E
D
I'd
also
like
to
commend
the
Department
on
particularly
on
creating
these
home
ownership
opportunities.
I,
don't
think
that
the
department
or
the
city
gets
enough
credit
for
that
type
of
work
and
and
I've
expressed
before
how
important
it
is
that
we're
also
creating
homeownership
opportunities
in
addition
to
rental,
affordable
opportunity.
So
with
that
said,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
approve
this
request.
Second,.
B
Next
vote
is
vote
three
and
I
know
for
the
record
that
John
Farah
back
is
going
to
be
presenting
this
vote
as
well.
Today,
again,
John
is
a
senior
development
officer
with
the
Neighborhood
Housing
Development
Division
of
D
and
D
vote.
Three
concerns
an
amendment
to
the
vote
of
September
14
2016
to
extend
the
tentative
designation
and
intent
to
sell
period
from
36
to
48
months
to
Codman,
Square
and
Neighborhood
Development
Corporation,
the
property
concerns
vacant
land
located
at
10
and
22
Bowden
Street
in
Dorchester.
B
E
You
hello,
my
name
is
John
Feuerbach
I'm,
a
senior
housing
development
officer
in
a
neighborhood
housing
development,
division
of
DMD
I'm
here
requesting
the
public
facilities
Commission
approval
of
the
extension
of
the
tentative
developer,
designation
of
Codman
Square
Neighborhood
Development
Corporation
for
the
parcels
that
were
just
identified
and
are
outlined
in
the
vote
package.
They
include
10
and
22
Bowden
Street
located
in
Dorchester
the
public
facilities
Commission
approved
a
tentative
developer,
designation
of
cotton,
Square
Neighborhood
Development
Corporation
on
October
1st
2014.
E
Since
that
time
the
PFC
has
approved
two
prior
extensions
of
the
developer
designation.
Just
as
a
quick
background
a
since
the
developer,
designation,
Codman,
Square,
Neighborhood
Development
Corporation
has
accomplished
the
following.
The
developer
has
worked
with
DMD
the
Boston
Planning
development
agency
and
the
Four
Corners
neighborhood
to
create
a
project
design
that
all
parties
support.
The
developer
has
secured
BPD
a
article
80
approval
and
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals
approval.
E
Just
as
a
quick
aside,
the
extension
request
was
not
submitted
earlier
because
during
the
process
of
securing
clean
loops
as
a
requirement
for
this
vote,
we
discovered
that
the
developer
owed
a
number
of
unpaid
fees
to
various
city
agencies
that
totaled
approximately
$1,200.
A
DND
worked
with
a
developer
to
pay
the
fees
and
secured
the
agency's
sign
offs.
And
then
a
memo
to
the
loops
package
shows
that
Boston
Water
and
Sewer
Commission
and
Public
Works
Department
took
the
longest
to
resolve
approximately
a
couple
of
months.
E
But
the
developer
is
currently
up
to
date
with
all
payments
to
the
city,
and
we
would
not
be
here
right
now
making
this
request.
If
that
was
not
the
case,
so
we
are
requesting
an
extension
to
allow
the
developer
to
submit
a
funding
application
to
the
Massachusetts
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
in
February
2018.
E
The
memo
the
package
includes
a
memo
about
the
project
and
the
PFC
vote
requests,
and
then
we've
also
includes
some
handouts
in
the
the
request.
The
first
list.
This
is
an
elevation.
This
is
the
one
of
the
final
handouts.
This
is
the
elevation
of
the
property,
the
design
that's
being
proposed,
but
there's
also
some
images
of
both
1010
Bowden
Street
and
22
Bowden
Street.
E
In
summary,
if
PFC
approves
the
VOC
request,
it
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits.
A
31
units
of
rental
housing
will
be
constructed,
will
be
all
new
constructed
and
they
will
be
all
affordable
units.
Approximately
10,000
square
feet
of
commercial
space
will
be
created,
including
45
parking
spaces.
E
A
G
So
the
state
has
a
policy.
The
Department
DHCD
has
a
policy
that
they
will
only
fund
one
project
per
applicant
because
they
have
they
don't
have
enough
money
to
fund
everything
they
receive.
So
Codman
square
had
prioritized
another
project.
That
was,
you
know
further
along,
so
we
anticipate
they'll
get
funding
this
round
for
this
project.
The
rounds
are
due
in
February,
so
that
will
go
up
and
hopefully
we'll
know
by
this
summer.
I.
A
B
Have
a
question
for
the
record:
for
the
commissioners:
you
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
understanding
the
request
correctly
on
the
agenda
there.
The
request
is
to
extend
for
12
months,
but
I
have
an
awareness
that
the
12
months
may
not
be
sufficient
and
to
prevent
us
from
having
to
come
back
and
do
another
time
extension.
My
request
is
for
a
clarification
from
John
Farrow
back.
If
we
need
to
actually
if
we're
here
before
the
Commission
asking
instead
for
18
months,
if
there
is
less
time
that
is
needed,
that
is
not
a
problem.
B
My
concern
is
is
listening
to
the
presentation
is
that
there
are
matters
outside
of
D
and
DS
control
with
the
state
funding
and
to
provide
sufficient
time
for
D
and
D
to
engage
in
the
due
diligence
process,
receive
notice
from
the
state
and
then
properly
come
before
the
Commission.
With
a
conveyance
vote
request,
it
seems
like
it
may
be
prudent
to
make
a
notation
to
the
agenda
reflected
in
the
meeting
minutes
that
the
request
is
for
18
months,
a
time
extension
of
18
months
versus
12
months.
Would
that
be
true?
John.
E
Not
notwithstanding
the
strengths
of
the
development
and
the
strong
community
support
for
the
development,
there
are
some
matters
outside
of
our
control
that
have
just
been
outlined.
That
may
require
us
to
spend
a
little
bit
more
time,
so
I
I
would
support
what
was
just
suggested
that
we
extended
the
extension
period
from
12
months
to
18
months,
knowing
fully
that
we
will
come
back
as
soon
as
possible
if
the
development
does
receive
state
financing
and
that
we
would
then
come
back
for
a
conveyance
vote
request.
B
Thank
you,
vote
number
3
is
approved,
and
for
the
record,
it's
noted
that
the
vote
request
is
for
a
time
extension
of
18
months.
That
would
bring
a
total
tentative
developer
time
extension
to
54
months
and
the
expiration
period
would
continue
out
through
April
of
2018.
So
that
would
take
you
instead
of
October
1st
of
2008.
That
would
bring
the
vote
request
out
to
April
1
of
2018.
Thank
you.
John
thank.
B
B
Vote
number
four
is

requests
Thank.
F
You
Angela
good
morning,
commissioners,
my
name
is
Nellie's
Janice
and
I
am
a
project
manager
in
the
real
estate
management
and
sales
division
of
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
I
am
here
requesting
PFC
approval
for
the
intra-city
transfers
of
460
464
Hyde
Park
Avenue
in
Roslindale,
in
66,
for
Avenue
in
Roxbury
to
the
Boston
Parks
and
Recreation
Department.
Within
the
vote
package
submitted,
there
is
more
a
more
comprehensive
memo
detailing
the
specifics.
F
In
summary
of
that
memo,
be
PDA
requests
at
both
these
parcels
and
held
a
public
hearing
on
February
27th,
2017
and
October
30th
2017
voted
to
accept
these
parcels
for
park,
playground
and
recreational
purposes
from
D
and
E.
I
have
provided
two
handouts
that
show
the
location
and
current
condition
of
the
parcels,
the
first
one
being
for
64
64,
Hyde
Park
Avenue.
F
In
Roseville,
it's
been
Indian
DS
inventory
for
nine
years
since
2008
the
total
square
footage
is
four
thousand
eight
hundred
and
two
the
assessed
value
is
sixty-two
thousand
four
hundred
and
Parks
intentions
with
this
parcel
is
to
create
a
taught
lot
that
is
very
much
needed
within
that
community.
The
second
is
66
for
Avenue.
In
Roxbury,
this
one
has
been
in
Dandy's
inventory
for
35
years.
We've
had
it
since
1982.
The
total
square
footage
of
this
one
is
the
8400.
F
The
assessed
value
is
ninety
two
thousand
four
hundred

parks
will
continue

maintain
this
as
its
current
open
space
status
until
community
input
is
in
summary,
if
PFC
will
be
FPF,
a
PFC
approves
this
vote
request.
These
parcels
would
be
put
into
productive
public
use,
created
over
thirteen
thousand
square
feet
of
protected
Park
playground
and
open
space
for
recreational
purposes.
I
am
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
B
A
F
B
H
Thank
you
Angela
good
morning,
commissioners
I'm
very
excited
to
be
here
this
morning
for
this
project,
again
William
Epperson
assistant
director
for
real
estate
management
and
sales
and
for
the
record
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
Christopher
Rooney,
who
is
the
project
manager
for
this
project
and
has
done
an
excellent
job.
So
far,
we
are
requesting
tentative
designation
for
Habitat
for
Humanity
for
this
parcel
at
172
Fairmount
Street
in
Dorchester.
It
is
an
existing
two
family
building
that
has
been
long
abandoned
for
over
ten
years
within
the
community.
D
and
E
got
it
in
its
inventory.
H
Two
years
ago,
in
December
of
2015
through
tax
foreclosure,
DND
has
conducted
a
public
process,
beginning
with
the
community
notification
in
December
of
2016,
we
issued
a
request
for
proposals
on
February
21st
that
was
advertised
in
the
state
register
and
the
Boston
Herald.
We
received
four
applications
and
it
was
a
very
competitive
process
for
this
property.
After
a
complete
review
of
those
applications,
we
determined
that
Habitat
for
Humanity
was
the
most
advantageous
proposer.
H
They
are
looking
to
redevelop
the
property
as
the
two
family,
as
it
currently
is
they're
going
to
do
a
complete
rehab
of
the
property
and
it'll
be
sold
to
to
affordable
home
buyers
as
a
condominium
structure,
80%
of
the
area
median
income.
So
this
one
little
two
family
building
will
be
generating
two
new,
affordable,
homeownership
opportunities
which
really
excited
about
the
boat
package,
has
a
comprehensive
memo
for
your
reference
and
I've
included,
two
handouts
as
well.
The
first
we've
already
seen
is
the
site
map
indicating
the
location
of
the
property
right
there.
H
The
second
is
a
picture
of
the
building
and
its
current
state.
In
summary,
if
PFC
approves
the
vote
request,
as
I
said,
we
will
create
two
units
of
affordable,
homeownership
opportunities.
We
will
revitalize
this
long,
dilapidated
property
and
we
are
looking
to
create
four
thousand
construction
hours,
which
will
generate
jobs
amongst
the
building
trades,
and
we
will
no
longer
pay
for
the
expensive
maintenance
of
this
building,
which
has
been
averaging
about
three
thousand
dollars
a
year,
and
the
new
tax
revenues
are
currently
estimated
at
about
six
thousand
dollars
annually.
H
So
we're
very
excited
about
this
project.
Habitat.
For
Humanity
is
a
very
strong
applicant.
They
have
all
of
their
funding
already
in
place.
So
we
anticipate
coming
back
to
the
Commission
in
just
a
few
short
months,
requesting
the
conveyance
vote
and
are
looking
to
start
this
rehab
in
the
spring
so
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
H
A
D
H
Just
to
address
that
we
actually
share
your
concerns.
One
of
the
strengths
of
this
particular
applicant
Habitat
for
Humanity
specializes
in
the
small
condominium
structure
for
affordable
homebuyers.
Had
it
not
been
a
developer
with
that
experience
and
that
specialization
who
actually
stays
in
the
deal
long
term,
we
probably
wouldn't
have
supported
ourselves
either,
but
Habitat
for
Humanity
recognizes
the
challenges
and
they
actually
stay
in
the
structure
in
the
long
term
and
we've.
G
Seen
smaller
condominium
associations
run
into
some
some
difficulties
about
you
know,
budgeting
properly
for
reserves,
et
cetera
and
Habitat
has
stayed
with
them
and
fixed.
You
know
the
ongoing
concerns,
so
so
we
had
the
same
concerns,
but
when
we
really
looked
into
habitats
role,
we
felt
more
comfortable.
Oh
thank.
B
Vote
number
six
is
being
presented
by
Ryan
lundergan
he's
a
housing
development
officer
with
the
Neighborhood
Housing
Development
Division
of
D&D.
This
vote
concerns
a
tentative
developer,
designation
and
intent
to
sell
to
Oxbow
urban
LLC
vacant
land
located
at
17
and
19
Helen
Street
242
to
244,
nor
Wall
Street,
an
unnumbered
Norwell
street
address
and
78
Spencer
Street.
The
properties
are
located
in
Dorchester.
The
purchase
price
in
total
is
six
hundred
dollars.
Ryan.
If
you
present
the
vote
request.
Thank.
I
You,
my
name,
is
Ryan
Lonergan
I
said
I
am
from
the
Neighborhood
Housing
division
of
DND
I'm
here
requesting
PFC
support
for
the
developer
designation
of
Oxbow
urban
LLC
for
the
development
of
six
new
housing
units
that
will
eventually
become
homeownership
opportunities
for
the
Dorchester
neighborhood.
These
units
of
the
total
units
four
will
become
affordable.
I
This
this
project
received
community
support
to
go
out
to
an
RFP
on
March
21st
2016.
An
RFP
was
issued
april,
18
2016
advertised
in
Boston,
Herald,
April,
17th
and
2024
2016.
It
was
in
the
Central
Register
on
April
19th
2016
at
a
community
meeting.
The
preferred
developer
was
introduced
to
the
community
on
October
18th
2017.
I
In
summary,
if
the
PFC
approves
the
vote
request,
it
will
result
in
the
following
benefits:
six
total
homeownership
units,
four
of
which
are
affordable
to
will
be
at
80%
AMI
and
to
a
hundred
percent
area
median
income.
The
project
will
revitalize
six
parcels
that
have
been
in
dandy's
inventory
between
37
and
42
years.
I
It's
also
expected
to
create
over
9,000
construction
hours,
which
will
generate
jobs
amongst
the
trades
and
it
will
save
DND
annually
over
5,500
operational
dal
costs.
Fifty
five
hundred
dollars
in
operational
costs
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
see
the
handouts
on
the
side
here,
there's
there's
a
few
parcels:
their
homes
are
going
to
be
single-family
and
duplex
style.
Two
family
buildings.
B
I'm
just
going
to
make
a
note
for
the
record
Ryan
that
the
agenda
reflects
accurately
that
there
was
an
RFP
issuance
date
on
April
18
2017.
Your
project
background
memorandum
also
accurately
represents
that
the
RFP
was
issued
on
April
18th
of
2017
and
that
the
advertisements
happened
in
2017
night
I
had
heard
2016
so
I'm.
Just
sorry.
B
Only
one
of
us
can
talk
at
a
time
because
of
the
sensitivity
with
the
microphone
so
I'm
just
going
to
clear
for
the
record
for
the
video
recording
that
we
have
April
17
to
2017
and
April
24th
2017
that
the
ads
appeared
in
the
Boston
Herald
and
they
also
the
ad
appeared
in
the
Central
Register
on
April
19th
of
2017.
The
RFP
was
publicly
opened
by
D
and
E
on
May
22nd
2017.
Thank
you.
I.
D
B
You
and
I
am
making
one
other
housekeeping
notice.
That
was
brought
to
my
attention,
which
is
very
helpful
on
the
long
agenda
here
for
vote.
Six
115
Wheatland
Avenue
Ward

parcel
number

Three

square
footage
is
5,500

is
not
identified
in
the
shorter
part
of
the
agenda
on
vote
six,
but
it
is
listed
in
the
body
of
the
vote.
So
I
note
that
that
is
also
a
parcel
that
includes
six
hundred
dollars
within
that
purchase
price.
B
Noting
for
the
record
that
votes
six
has
been
approved
by
the
Commission
moving
forward.
Our
final
vote
vote
number
seven
is
with
Ryan
lundergan
again
a
housing
development
officer
with
the
Neighborhood
Housing
Development
Division
of
D
and
D.
This
is
an
amendment
to
the
vote
of
November
16
2016
to
extend
the
tentative
designation
and
intent
to
sell
period
from
24
to
36
months
to
Cruise
Development
Corporation.
This
is
land
with
buildings
located
at
282,
82
to
84,
to
90,
Warren
Street
and
an
unnumbered
Warren
Street
address.
The
properties
are
in
Roxbury.
I
You
I'm
requesting
a
PFC
support
for
the
extension
of
the
tentative
designation
of
Cruise
Development
Corporation
for
the
five
parcels
outlined
in
the
vote
package.
Since
the
tentative
designation
and
extension,
the
development
team
has
completed
a
site
survey.
They
received
article
80
and
zba
approval,
and
the
development
team
has
submitted
a
fair
housing
marketing
plan
to
the
Fair
Housing
Commission.
As
previous
stated
previously
stated
in
the
Mount
Boden
package
by
mister
Feuerbach.
I
This
is
an
another
project
that
has
applied
to
DHCD,
has
not
received
funding
but
is
committed
to
applying
and
the
upcoming
funding
around
we
do
expect
them
to
reapply
in
in
this
anticipated
winter
2018
funding
round,
and
it's
a
very
exciting
project.
As
you
can
see
there
there's
a
there's.
There's
is
a
beautiful
building
and
it's
a
part
of
a
multi-phase
project
that
crews
development
will
be
undertaking.
It's
a
mixed-use
development,
the
leave
retail
on
the
first
floor
office,
space
and
also
affordable
housing
units.
