Thank

for
d
d
d.
Has
five
votes
on
the
agenda
for
today
before
I
read
vote
number
one.
I
would
like
to
note
for
the
record,
because
commissioner
mamoli
is
an
employee
of
the
edic.
He
has
provided
a
signed
disclosure
notice
to
dispel
any
perception
of
a
conflict
of
interest
in
his
disclosure
notice.
Commissioner
marmoly
indicates
that
he
is
an
employee
of
the
city's
edic.
D
He
has
no
involvement
in
the
matter
noted
in
the
vote
request,
nor
received
any
request
to
vote
in
a
particular
fashion.
The
rule
of
necessity
applies
in
this
case,
as
two
commissioners
are
needed
to
constitute
a
quorum
for
voting.
Therefore,
the
two
commissioners
present
are
deemed
fit
available
to
hear
the
vote,
discuss
and
make
a
determination
on
the
same
commissioner.
Mamoli
do
you
have
anything
further
to
add
to
the
record.
D
Thank
you
vote
number.
One

being
presented
by
donald

deputy

for
the
real

management
and
sales
division
of

but
one
is
request
for
the
intra-city
transfer
of
the
care,
custody,
management
and
control
of
the
vacant

on
tremont
street
and

boulevard

the
south
end
from
the

A
A
This
request
follows
a
comprehensive
planning
initiative,
known
as
plan
nubian
square,
which
included
these
and
other
city-owned
parcels
in
the
area.
The

includes
a
comprehensive

the

vote
request.

A
If
the

a

dnd
intends
to
seek
a
city
council
vote
to
surplus
the
properties.
In
the
meantime,
d
d
will
maintain
care
custody
of
the
parcels
and
continue
to
work
collaboratively
with
the
abutting
landowners,
the
boston
planning
development
agency
and
the
massachusetts
department
of
transportation
to
prepare
the
sites
for
disposition.
A
The
bpda
contemplates
an
assemblage
of
these
two
parcels
with
six
other
parcels
and
offering
the
combined
land
for
development
and
aligned
with
the
objectives
that
will
be
established

dnd
staff
met
with
representatives
of
the

our
review
process.
I
The
application
also
demonstrated
their
successful
track
record
of
new

development
and

by
far
the
most
feasible
and
competitive
development
budget
of

strong
evidence
of
financing.
Lastly,
their

minority
subcontractors
through
their
hiring
process
and
as
dnd's
preferred

On
october
22nd,
the
norfolk
team
presented
their
plan
at
a
meeting
of
the
greater
bodon
geneva
neighborhood
association
and
received
full
support.
I
I

I
The
project
will
create
the

the
contiguous-built
environment
on
each
street.
