From YouTube: Public Facilities Commission Meeting 5-17-17 Part 2 of 2
Description
The May 17, 2017 Public Facilities Commission Meeting was recorded live at the Winter Chambers, 26 Court Street in Downtown Boston.
A
B
Morning,
on
behalf
of
the
Department
of
Neighborhood
Development
I'm
requesting
PFC
approval
of
the
developer
designation
of
Ruskin
Dale
Road
in
Hyde
Park
Dudley
economic
empowerment
partners
Inc,
as
outlined
in
the
vote
package,
D&D
conducted
a
public
process
that
resulted
in
this
vote
request.
A
community
meeting
was
held
on
May
19
2016.
A
request
for
proposals
was
issued
on
August
15
2016,
with
a
due
date
of
September
29
2016.
The
RFP
was
advertised
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts
Central
Register
and
the
Boston
Herald
in
August
of
2016.
B
One
proposal
was
submitted
in
response
to
the
RFP
and
was
determined
to
meet
eligibility
criteria.
A
developer
presentation
community
meeting
was
held
on
March
28th
2017.
The
vote
package
includes
a
comprehensive
memo
about
the
project.
A
handout
has
also
been
provided.
The
first
slide
is
a
site
map.
B
The
second
image
is
of
the
site
itself.
The
third
is
the
original
front
elevation
of
the
proposed
home
and
the
fourth
is
the
original
proposed
site
plan.
In
summary,
if
the
PFC
approves
the
vote
request
or
result
in
the
following
public
benefits,
the
creation
of
an
affordable,
single-family
home,
providing
a
homeownership
opportunity
in
Boston
and
adding
new
residents
to
the
neighborhood,
the
home
will
be
sold
to
a
first-time
homebuyer
with
a
household
income
up
to
100
percent
of
the
area.
Median
income.
This
unit
will
be
deed,
restricted
to
remain
affordable
for
50
years.
B
The
revitalization
of
two
vacant
parcels
that
have
been
in
the
city's
inventory
for
four
and
seven
year,
respectively,
on
the
site,
job
training,
opportunities
for
at-risk
and
unemployed
youth
in
the
building
trades
provided
by
youth
build
Boston.
The
developer
is
committed
to
working
with
the
Southwest
Boston
Community
Development
Corporation,
to
recruit
youth
from
the
neighborhood
for
this
project.
The
project
is
also
expected
to
create
2080
for
construction
hours,
which
will
generate
jobs
among
the
building
trades,
and
the
sales
of
these
parcels
can
be
expected
to
yield
young
long-term
financial
benefits
to
the
city.
B
By
removing
these
parcels
from
its
inventory,
the
city
will
be
able
to
avoid
the
future
costs
and
liabilities
associated
with
maintaining
these
properties
and,
in
addition,
by
returning
these
properties
to
the
tax
rolls,
the
city
can
expect
to
recruit
approximately
$1,300
per
year
in
annual
property
taxes
and
I
can
answer
any
questions.
If
any
I.
C
A
Vote
number
six
is
with
Thomas
McKay
he's
a
housing
development
officer
with
the
Neighborhood
Housing
Development
Division
of
D&D.
This
matter
concerns
a
time
extension.
This
would
be
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
Kody
village,
limited
partnership.
This
matter
concerns
vacant
land
with
a
building
located
at
820
Commons,
highway,
3232,
Regis
Road,
there's
another
property
located
with
a
non
numbered
address
at
Commons,
highway
and
Regis
Road.
These
properties
are
in
Mattapan.
A
The
first
tentative
designation
request
was
on
May
21st
2015,
and
that
was
for
12
months
expiring.
On
May
21st
of
2016.
There
was
an
additional
ton
of
designation
request
to
extend
time
for
an
additional
12
months,
which
was
granted
by
the
public
facilities
Commission
and
allowed
an
extension
to
go
for
24
months,
which
would
bring
it
current
to
today.
May
21st
2017
is
when
that
time
extension
would
expire.
Hence
the
matter
that's
before
the
Commission
is
a
third
amendment
to
extend
time
for
an
additional
12
months.
A
A
E
A
community
meeting
was
held
on
March
12th
of
2014
to
discuss
the
inclusion
of
these
parcels
in
a
release
of
an
RFP
request
for
proposal
was
issued
on
June
30th
of
2014,
and
due
back
on
September
30th
of
2014
RFP
was
advertised
in
the
state
central
register
on
July,
2nd
2014,
the
Boston
Herald
on
June
30th
and
July
7th
of
2014.
There
were
four
development
teams
that
applied
to
the
RFP.
Three
of
those
teams
were
determined
to
meet
the
eligibility
criteria.
E
They
held
impact
advisory
group
meetings
through
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency
article
80
process
in
March
in
April
of
2016,
and
presented
at
a
community
open
house
sponsored
by
the
BPD,
a
on
April
6th
of
2016.
They
received
their
article
80
and
chapter
121,
a
approval
from
the
BPD,
a
board
on
April
14th
of
2016
and
on
November
16th
of
2016
PFC
approved
a
12-month
extension
of
the
tentative
developer
designation.
E
E
E
The
fourth
is
rendering
of
the
building
that
will
be
on
a
820
Commons
highway
parcel
and
the
final
is
showing
the
town
townhouse
homes
will
be
on
the
reuse
road
parcel.
In
summary,
if
PFC
approves
the
vote
request,
it
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits.
There
will
be
a
total
of
76
new
rental
housing.
Units
of
these
68
will
be
affordable,
eight
will
be
affordable
at
30%
of
the
area.
Median
income
48
will
be
affordable
at
60%
of
the
area.
Median
income
12
will
be
affordable
at
80%
of
the
area.
E
By
returning
these
parcels
to
the
city
tax
rolls,
the
city
can
expect
to
recoup
an
estimated
thirty
seven
thousand
four
hundred
dollars
in
first-year
tax
revenue
and
by
removing
these
parcels
from
the
city
inventory,
it
will
allow
the
city
to
avoid
the
future
cost
and
liabilities
associated
with
these
parcels
and
city
stands
to
save
an
estimated
nine
thousand
six
hundred
dollars
in
yearly
operational
and
maintenance
costs
here.
To
answer
any
further
questions,
as
you
have
promised,.
A
E
So
we
are
assessed
requesting
the
additional
time
extension
on
the
project
has
received.
Funding
from
the
city,
the
city
and
t-they
have
came
into
our
most
recent
funding
round
for
a
renewal
of
those
funds
and
they're
currently
awaiting
funding
from
DHCD
who
is
expected
to
make
a
decision
in
June
or
in
July
of
this
year.
We're.
E
F
D
Just
follow
up
on
that
I
actually
agree
with
that.
I
mean
it's
an
important
project
to
the
city.
It's
also
an
important
issue
in
terms
of
timing
of
items
to
stock
from
scratch.
Again,
if
we
didn't
extend
this
chance
of
losing
the
economic
window,
we
have
on
on
properties
and
so
forth.
So
I
support
the
extension
yeah.
C
I
do
because
I
certainly
agree
that
this
project
is
needed
and
I
mean,
although
I
wish,
that
there
were
more
homeownership
opportunities
involved.
That
aside,
there's
no
issue
with
the
property
itself
and
the
project
itself,
but
my
question
is:
do
we
need
a
12-month
extension
or
what
a
six-month
extension
be
been
as
beneficial
and
keep
things
moving
forward?
C
F
I
could
once
so
if
the
state
comes
back,
and
we
are
hearing
July
that
they're
going
to
make
their
next
announcements,
then
it
will.
It
will
take
the
developer
many
months
to
get
to
gear
up
to
close
and
make
sure
all
their
financing
in
place.
It's
a
complicated
financing
scenario,
so
six
might
be
a
little
short.
12
might
be
a
little
on
the
long
side,
so
maybe
somewhere
in
between.
If
you
feel
more
comfortable
to
nine-month
extension,
we
could
certainly
you
know,
try
to
make
that
work,
but
probably
they
will
need
more
than
six
months.
C
A
A
A
The
matter
before
the
commission
is
an
amendment
to
the
vote
of
June
15
2016
to
extend
the
tentative
designation
and
intent
to
sell
period
from
12
to
24
months
to
her
incorporated.
This
is
vacant
land
located
at
16,
Ronald,
Street
and
Roxbury.
The
original
kind
of
designation
was
for
June
15
2016
through
June
15th
of
2017.
A
Therefore
the
tent
of
designation
period
is
still
active.
The
amendment
before
you
today
would
extend
that
tentative
designation
period
for
an
additional
12
months
from
June
15
2017
through
June
15th
of
2018,
for
a
total
of
24
months
for
the
tent
of
designation
period
ryan
is
prepared
to
prevent
the
vote
request.
A
G
Morning,
commissioners,
on
behalf
of
DMV
I'm,
here
requesting
PFC
approval
for
the
expansion
of
hearth
Inc
for
16
Ronald
Street
outlined
in
the
vote
package.
I've
also
provided
a
few
handouts
in
your
package.
The
first
is
a
site
map
of
16
Ronald
Street.
As
you
can
see.
If
you
travel
up
more
more
Street
you'll
find
16
Rallo
Street
a
34,000
square
foot
parcel
it's
right
around
the
corner
from
the
Geneva
MBTA
station.
So
it's
a
transit
friendly
parcel.
G
The
next
is
a
is
a
plan
for
the
site,
as
submitted
previously
and
throughout
the
the
last
12
months
or
11
months,
they've
furthered
their
plans
and
you
can
see
in
the
next
plan,
they've
refined
their
plans
with
the
nd
and
VB
da
input
to
to
improve
it.
As
you
can
see,
it
looks
quite
nice
D&D
conducted
a
extensive
public
process
that
resulted
in
the
vote
requests
before
you.
G
G
Both
developers
were
invited
to
a
community
meeting
where
they
presented
on
April
13
2016
PFC
approved
the
tentative
developer,
designation
of
hearth,
Inc
on
16
on
6
15
16,
and
were
requesting
an
extension
to
allow
the
developer
to
do
the
following
one
to
secure
funding.
They
recently
had
applied
to
the
state
for
for
funding
and
were
patiently
awaiting
the
announcement
in
July
2017.
G
However,
it's
a
very
competitive
process
we're
very
hopeful
that
we're
going
to
retain
the
funding
in
this
funding
round.
Additionally,
they've
worked
closely
with
BVD
a
and
d
NV
to
refine
their
designs.
They've
worked
rapidly
throughout
this
process
and
they've
they've
been
actually
a
really
great
developer
to
work
with
us
far
and
this
this
project
is
going
to
provide
54,
affordable
rental,
elderly
housing
units
and
the
roxbury,
which
is
much
needed
throughout
the
community
process.
It's
been
very.
G
The
community's
been
very
adamant
that
they
would
like
to
see
more
elderly
housing
in
this
neighborhood
and
they've
been
very
supportive
of
the
project.
So,
in
summary,
if
PFC
approves,
the
vote,
request
will
result
of
following
public
benefits:
creation
of
54,
affordable
deed,
restricted
units
in
Roxbury,
that'll,
revitalize
a
parcel
of
vacant
land
in
the
neighborhood
and,
and
it
also
is
expected
to
create
over
67,000
construction,
our
construction
hours,
which
will
generate
jobs
among
the
building
trades
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions.
A
H
Morning
my

I.
Am
the

Behalf

H
V&Amp;D
conducted
an
extensive

for
this
project,
and
that
was
resulted
in
this
vote
request.
Community
meetings
were
held
in
April
in
August
of
2016
and
then
a

was
issued
in
June
of
2016.
It
was
to
back
in
in
July
of
2016,
the

was
advertised
in
the
United
States
ed
State
Central
Register.
In
a
Boston
Herald
all
advertisements
occurred
in
June
of
2016.
H
The
PD
received
three

was
deemed
too
German
to
meet
the
eligibility
criteria
of
the

was
invited
to

net
designation
of
Hawksbill

A
vote
package
includes
a
comprehensive
memo
about
the
project
in
this
PFC
request.
H
You
are
looking
at
on
the
screen.
The
following
on
public
benefits
will
occur
if
PFC
approves
above
request.
The
neighborhood
will
see
six
total
new
housing
units,
including
three
home
ownerships,
one
at
80%
two
and
a
hundred

housing
homes
in
the
project
without
the
land
class
subsidy
of
fifty
seven
thousand
four
hundred
fifty
dollars
per
formal

H
The
project
will
revitalize
three
apostles
of
underutilized
vacant
land
in

neighborhood
and
the

also
expected
to
create
seven
thousand
nine
hundred

seventy
three
construction

for
the
building
trades
and
the
city
of
Boston.
The
city
stands
to
have
is
also
save
an
estimated
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
in
annual
operational
class
was
shoveling
and
stuff
that
will
no
longer
be
required,
who
also
generate
in
the
first
year
an
additional
13.
H
Five
hundred
and
twenty
nine
dollars
and
additional
tax
revenues
for
the
city
of
blossoms
I
mean
answer
the
questions.
Oh
by
the
way.
One
last
thing:
we
actually
planning
on
starting
construction
and
being
completed
by
December,
and
so
hopefully
the
three
homeowners
and
the
tenants
will
all
be
in
for
the
holidays.

A
Number

Commission
is

What

A
This
again,
I
will
note,
for
the
record
is
what
we
could
refer
to
as
a
housekeeping
matter.
It
is
the
public
facilities
Commission's
practice
to
have
votes
that
are
not
proceeding
forward
after
10:00
designation
to
be
brought
back
before
the
Commission,
with
a

H
Behalf
of
the
department
enable
development
I'm
here,
requesting
the
upon
facilities,
Commission's
approval
for
the
rescission
of
the
current
developer,
designation
that
was
completed
in
May
of
2016
for
the
JPA
Development
Company
Inc
in
my
bone
Mellon,
and
they
would
ask
initiative
mind
about
package
reasons
for
this
decision.
I'll
following
the
tentative
designation
JP
a
development
in
conjunction
with
DMV
staff,
determined
that
we
needed
to
do
a
more
assessment
of
the
site's.
H
What
upon
that
assessment?
That
was
done
in
order
to
confirm
the
building
configurations
and
placements
based
on
a
site
survey
that
hadn't
been
done.
At
that
point,
we
will,
upon
that
updated
survey
showing
