Both
five
is
a
request
for
amendment
to
the
vote
of
may
13
2020
to
extend
the
tentative,
designation
and
intent
to
sell
period
from
12
months
to
18
months
to
a
nominee
opposed

washington

in

If
you
would
please
present
vote
five.
Thank
you.
H
H
The
request
for
an
extension
is
a
result
of
unforeseen
months
of
addressing
funding,
round
issues
and
work
that
led
to
an
improved
community,
supported
design
and
approved
financing.
Furthermore,
the
impact
of
covert
and
shift
to
remote
work
poses
challenges
to
be
at
estab
concerns
with
managing
existing
development
projects,
many
that
face
various
cost
impacts.
H
Additionally,
covid
has
created
unique
challenges
on
related
to
the
permitting
and
budgeting
of
not
only
this
project,
but
I
think
most
projects
the
project
has
experienced
unforeseen
cost
increases
in
materials
and
labor
groups,
disruption
in
the
supply
chains
and
increases
in
the
market
demands
that
we've
seen
across
the
city.
I
have
included
slides
for
the
pfc.
H
And
the
fourth
slide
is
a
prospective
view
of
the
project,
and
the
fifth
slide
is.
This
is
a
different
angle
of
the
of
the
concept
that
was
presented
at
the
at
the
community
meeting
in
march
and
then
the
sixth
slide
is
just
another
view
of
the
development
from
bradley
street,
which
is
the
the
back
of
the
site.
H
An
extension
of
the
of
the
tentative
developer
designation
will
allow
our
vanica
to
finalize
designs
and
approvals
at
the
public
works
department
and
isd
and
finalize
the
bank
funding
commitment.
If
pfc
approves
a
time
extension
request,
the
md
expects
to
return
to
pfc
for
a
conveyance
vote
request
by
the
end
of
2021..
E
H
A
B
Thank
you
vote
number.
Five
is
hereby
approve.
Vote
number
six
is
also
being
presented
by
julio
pillier.
It's
a
vote
for
an
amendment
to
the
vote
of
june
10
2020
to
extend
the
tentative
designation
and
intent
to
sell
period
from
12
to
18
months
to
a
nominee
composed
of
principles
of
urbanica
incorporated
for
vacant
land
located

120
and
122
hancock
street

vote
number

H
H
H
urbanica

plans
at
inspectional
services
department

will
seek
a
zba
approval
at
this
ebay
at
the
zb
at
same
gpa
hearing
on
june
29
2021..
The
request
for
the
glam
extension
is
a
result
of
a
lot
of
the
same
things
that
we
saw
in
washington
street.
Mostly,
you
know
the
the
impacts
of
working
remotely
and
and
the
impacts
of
covert
on
on
developments
as
a
whole.
H
The
third
slide
is
the
third
slide
is
shows
the
neighborhood
context,
which
was
taken
into
account
when
doing
the
the
revised
design
meetings
with
the
neighborhood.
The
fourth,
the
fourth
flag,
shows
the
updated
design
scheme.
This
was
the
result
of
the
meetings
that
we
held
throughout
the
winter
of
2020.

B

I
am
here
as
aforementioned
requesting
pfc
approval
of
an
amendment
to
the
vote
of
february
10
2021
to
delete
the
address

the
boston

also
referred
to
as
bpcr

and
the
reduction
in

price
from
1200

eleven
hundred
dollars.
I
am
additionally
requesting
the

F

The
amended
vote
request
allows
the
project
to
maintain
a
feasible
budget
in
light
of
current
market
conditions,
by
eliminating
a
parcel
that
was
found
to
have
higher
than
typical
site
costs
associated
with
its
development.
The
hundred
dollar
price
reduction
reflects
the
transition
from
12
parcels
to
11
parcels.
The
parcel
will
be
returned
to
dnd's
inventory
and
we
will
seek
a
community
approved,
cost-effective
development
plan
to
return
the
parcel
to
the
tax
rolls
and,
if
approved,
the
development
team
will
proceed
to
closing
on
the
project
and
begin
construction
in
lead
summer.
