Description
The October 26, 2017 Public Facilities Commission Meeting was recorded live at the Winter Chambers, 26 Court Street in Downtown Boston.
B
Morning,
commissioners,
this
morning
we
have
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
with
us.
We
have
the
chief
and
director
Sheila
Dillon
present
this
morning
and
we
have
three
votes
to
present
today.
Vote
number
one
is
with
John
Farrow
back
he's
a
senior
development
officer
with
the
Neighborhood
Housing
Development
Division
of
D&D.
This
first
vote
is
an
amendment
to
the
vote
of
October
5th
2016
to
extend
the
tentative
designation,
an
intent
to
sell
period
from
48
to
60
months
to
Sebastian
Mariscal
studio
incorporated.
B
C
This
has
quick
background.
Dnd
conducted
an
extensive
public
process
that
resulted
in
the
initial
tentative
developer,
designation
of
the
the
Sebastian
Marichal.
Specifically,
we
had
numerous
community
meetings,
starting
in
January
2012.
We
had
a
neighborhood,
symposium
and
Charette
that
hell
was
held
in
March
of
2012
and
then
we
had
five
other
meetings
in
the
year.
2012
a
request
for
proposals
was
issued
in
March
of
2013,
and
the
request
for
proposal
was
due
on
June
10
2013.
C
The
public
facilities
Commission
approved
the
developer
designation
of
Sebastian
marichal
studio
on
November
7th
at
this
point
in
time,
were
requesting
a
12-month
extension
of
the
developer
designation
of
Sebastian
marichal
studio
to
allow
the
developer
to
update
various
project
elements,
including
design,
cost
operating
assumptions
and
other
project
details,
and
that's
when
a
pause
right
now
to
say
the
reason.
Why
is
because
back
in
2013
they
had
to
loan
abutters,
who
contested
the
approval
of
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals?
C
It
was
held
up
for
approximately
two
and
a
half
years,
but
in
March
of
this
year
2017
we
had
very
good
news.
The
appeal
was
rejected,
so
at
this
point
in
time
it's
appropriate
I
believe
to
approve
the
extension
request,
but
at
this
time
we're
also
working
with
the
developer
to
refine
some
development
aspects.
C
The
devote
package
includes
a
comprehensive
memo
about
the
project
and
the
PFC
extension
requests.
I've
also
provided
some
handouts
right
here
shows
the
the
parcels
we
have
parcels
in
the
yellow
and
green
that
are
on
Parker
Street
and
the
lone
parcel
on
Terra
Street
is
on
purple
right
there
again,
they
total
approximately
57,000
square
feet.
The
second
handout
is
a
sort
of
a
description
of
what
I
consider
to
be
the
unique
nature
of
the
site.
It
slopes
from
terrorists,
Street
on
the
right
to
Parker
Street
on
the
left.
C
This
is
a
diagram
that
shows
this
not
only
to
show
the
slope
but
then
write.
What
they
are
gonna
be
doing
is
building
their
homes
into
the
slope.
So
this
is
a
diagram
of
that.
This
assumes
a
level
site
right
here
and
when
you
go
up
to
here,
it
shows
different
modules
that
are
gonna
be
built
into
the
slope,
and
here
we're
gonna
have
differentiation
of
some
of
the
models:
here's
Tara
Street
and
here's
Parker
Street,
and
then
finally,
this
last
little
illustration
shows
there's
going
to
be
a
pass
through.
C
That
goes
through
the
development,
and
this
next
series
of
slides
will
show
you
that
here's
on
on
the
top-
this
is
the
Parker
Street.
What's
unique
and
I
will
talk
about
that
in
a
minute
on
the
community,
benefits
is
there's
gonna,
be
a
community
garden
created
on
the
site,
and
also
this
could
be
photovoltaic
panels
here.
This
is
a
perspective
from
Terra
Street,
so
you
can
see.
This
is
a
three
story,
but
this
is
level
on
the
top
and
you
take
that
level.
It
goes
right
level
to
the
top
on
Parker
Street.
C
So
if
that's
it
in
this
last
photo,
which
just
shows
a
little
illustration
of
a
courtyard
that
will
access
individual
units
but
there's
also
a
pass
through
that
goes
from
terrorist
street
to
Parker
Street.
If
the
PFC
approves
the
vote
requests
it
rules
that
result
into
following
public
benefits:
a
44
total
new
housing
units,
including
44
rental
units,
we're
looking
at
ten
affordable
units
that
we
remain
affordable
for
50
years.
The
project
will
revitalize
11
city-owned
properties,
as
I
mentioned,
they've
got
green
and
energy.
C
Positive
development
elements
is
going
to
be
built
energy
star,
but
they're
also
going
to
be
providing
photovoltaic
panels,
so
the
result
will
be.
The
development
will
create
more
energy
than
the
units
will
use,
so
that
will
benefit
the
the
users
and
it
helps
the
mayor
and
our
climate
action
action
plan,
and
then
I
also
mentioned
the
restoration
and
dramatic
improvement
of
a
community
garden
that
exists
now.
But
we've
we've
so
fence
it
off,
but
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
approximately
14,000
square
feet
of
the
community
garden.
C
On
top
of
that
Parker
Street
portion,
the
sale
of
the
11
parcels
will
also
be
expected
to
yield
long-term
financial
benefits
to
the
city,
we'll
be
returning
to
properties
to
the
tax.
Rolls
we're
looking
at
approximately
25,000
an
annual
tax
revenue
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
have
any
on
the
project,
yeah.

Summarize,
if
PSC

vote
request
will
result
in
the

the
creation
of
an
affordable,

ownership
opportunity
in
Boston
and
adding

the
neighborhood.
The
home
will

sold
to
a
first-time
homebuyer
with
a
household
income
of
up
to
a
hundred
percent
of
area.
Median
income
result
in
the
revitalization
of
two

Parcels
of
land
that
have
been
in
the

for
four

on-site
job

for
at-risk

unemployed
youth
in

building
trades
provided
by
YouthBuild
Boston.
F
The

also
committed
to
working

the
Southwest

the
neighborhood.
The
project
will
create
2080

construction
hours,
which
will
generate
jobs
among
the
building
trades.
The
sales
will
also
yield
long-term
financial
benefits
to
the
city,
removing
future
cost
of
liabilities
from
maintaining
the
parcels
and
generating
approximately
3,700
dollars
of
annual
tax
revenue
for
the
city.

To
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank
you.
A
D
G
Yeah
I
will
say
our
partnership
with
youth.
Build
has
been
just
really
productive
and
wonderful,
and-
and
this
is
probably
the
I
don't
know-
I
want
to
say
the
fifth
or
sixth
house
they've
built
for
us.
You
know
and
they're
they're
bringing
labour
from
both
the
neighborhoods,
but
also
from
Madison
Park
and
the
Carpenters
have
been
involved
as
well.
So
it's
it's.
A
great
partnership
want
to
keep
it
going
great.
