From YouTube: Public Improvement Commission Hearing 9-21-17
Description
The Boston Public Improvement Commission (PIC) is the owner and regulator of the City's rights of way. The PIC plays an integral role in the City's development and permitting process. From the restaurant that wants to add a seasonal cafe on the public sidewalk, to the developer who wants to construct an underground parking garage for a new housing development, or the homeowner who wants to add an architectural feature to a house that juts into the public space, each must seek approval from the PIC to have its private venture occupy public space, either permanently or on a licensed basis

Mr.
shikou
rate,
while
I
help
you
I'm
sorry
while
I
have
your
attention
not
related
to
this,
but
there's
a
collateral
concern
that
I
have
I
haven't,
had
a
chance
to
bring
it
to
the
Commission's
attention
on
American
Legion
Highway.
He
is
bad
when
we
reveal
that
Street
there's
a
collective
understanding
that
there
should
not
be
overhead
wires
that
cross
the
right
of
faith.
You
know
like
in
downtown
area,
it's
an
underground
district
to
the
extent
that
any
overhead
wires
are
to
be
on
either
side
of
that
straight.
E
E
You
are
extending
your
all
lines,
but
you
are
also
crossing.
The
street
case
in
point
is
look
at
the
American
Legion
highway
near
Morton
Street.
That
type
of
work
is
not
going
to
be
viewed
favorably
through
this
commission,
because
the
ISD
commissioner,
even
there's
a
wire
policy,
this
Commission
to
look
into
matters
of
this
nature.
We
are
extremely
sensitive
to
the
fire
pollution.
E
E
E
E
F
A
Right,
you
might
have
mention
this,
but
what
is
this
necessitating?
The
move
of
this
particular
pole,
driveway
and
it
will
be
in
the
pole-
will
remain
in
front
of
the
same
property.
So
it's
not
moving
in
front
of
the
church
is
staying
so
that
same
property.
It's
shifting
15
feet
further
down
that
property
line.
A
G
E
E
A
A
So
moved.
Thank
you.
Moving
on
to
the
public
hearing.
The
first
item
is
on
a
petition
Vecchio
and
company
for
their
approval
of
the
line
and
grade
of
Kinsale
Lane,
a
public
way
in
Hyde
Park
from
Milton
Ave
to
a
point
in
north
easterly,
located
generally
across
from
Farwell
Avenue.
This
was
new
business
on
August
24th
2017
is,
as
shown
on
a
set
of
plans
entitled
city
of
Boston
Public
Works,
Department
engineering
division
line
and
grade
plan.
Kinsale
lay
in
Boston,
Hyde,
Park
Rashid
stated
September
20th
2017
morning.
H
H
H
Actually
had
a
prairie
dog,
unfortunately
couple
phone
calls
and
emails.
He
said
he
would
get
back
up
any
questions
in
this
little
over
a
week
ago.
We
give
a
push
over
the
layout
here
for
typical
hammerhead.
This
is
a
requirement
for
economic.
It
beats
their
clients,
thirty,
which
also
would
be
a
ladder
truck
we've
also
located
either
completely
typically
a
higher
requested
at
the
beginning
to
arrive
and
get
booked
out
the
dry
tropical
ocean
so
about
the
pride
of
this
fire
and
also
there's
a
hybrid
of
the
end
for
flushing.
H
H
Look
at
the
table
they're
all
of
the
all
of
the
rounding
for
60
there,
although
six-foot,
so
we
played
just
up
the
stitch
it
fares
close
to
the
road
26
feet
wide,
so
we
match
that
in
as
far
as
packing
these
critters
I
know.
It
said,
although
it's
just
a
small
residential
ultimate
area,
because
no
parking
restrictions
throughout
the
area,
but
the
26
won't
apply.
Both
one
thing
we
did
do
is
in
the
scam
in
that
area.
You
need
exactly
have
to
turn
around
purposes.
H
D
Before
you've
done
relatively
traffic
of
parking,
obviously
one
of
the
issues
that
confronted
to
all
the
time
is
about
the
definition.
The
street
were
a
one-way
parking
on
one
side,
etc.
We're
basically
going
out
now,
after
the
fact,
basically
installing
that
Symington
reinforced
at
what
direction
of
the
street
so
I
know
what
you're
saying
about
traditional
streets
and
not
have
lumber
regulations,
but
this
board
we're
moving
forward
now
we're
installing
that
science
on
these
streets
to
clearly
articulate
how
that
Street
operates.
D
D
D
H
G
G
G
E
Further
the
point
with
mr.
Nelson
made
there's
going
to
be
a
point
in
time
where
Piz
takes
action
as
establishing
the
line
and
grade
of
a
strain,
it
becomes
a
public
street.
After
all,
construction
has
been
done
of
the
state
of
your
building
units.
Are
you
doing
them
under
market
comic?
Meaning?
Are
you
building
them
like
house
by
house
and
see
if
they're
getting
sold
or
are
you
building
all
the
houses?
The
point
I
am
concerned
about
is
the
street.
E
If
me,
the
city
are
to
take
over
this
trade,
it
needs
to
be
in
good
condition.
Okay,
during
your
house
construction,
the
construction
vehicles
tend
to
make
things
a
little
bit
awkward
on
that
street.
The
day
the
city
takes
over
the
street.
It
needs
to
be.
After
all,
your
work
has
been
done
after
the
city
has
acted,
except
for
the
utilities
lighting.
All
of
that.
So
during
your
construction,
it
will
still
be
remain
as
private
street
until
the
city
takes
it
over.
So
you
folks
have
to
go
through
public
works
and
public
improvement.

M
Did
what
like
talk,
make
a
point
for
rising
New
England's
position?
Now
it's
the
debt,
you
don't
want
to
be
a
showing
petitioner,
the
feedback
from
their
legal
team.
Is
they
give
authorization
based
on
that
that
addition,
a
license
to
26
communications,
which
is
referenced,
will
be
referenced
in
the
petition
in
the
agreement,
but
their
position
is
they
don't
want
to
be
natural
petitioner.
O
I
E
E
E
C
Absolutely
I
think
I
think
there's
a
just
so
we're
on
the
same
page.
To
this,
this
is
sort
of
a
two-phase.
If
you
will
so
there's
the
annual
fee
to
be
in
the
conduit,
then
there
is
the
what
they
call
make
ready
fees
and
those
are
both
handed
on
wait
walls.
So
the
issue:
is
they?
Don't
they
don't
always
this?
They
never
the
same
because,
depending
on
the
length
of
conduit
length
of
conduit,
has
to
happen
and
get
into
the
conduit.
C
C
D
C
G
C
G
F
I
Anything,
that's
not.
A
lot
of
connection
typically
comes
through
P
I
see
so
anything
that
is
going
from
a
trunk
line
that
they
already
had
to
service.
A
building
can
be
signed
off
administrative
only
as
the
lateral,
if
we're
talking
about
a
very
small
stub
to
get
to
to
manholes
that
are
just
jammed
up
that
can
be
signed
as
a
lateral,
but
anything
that
jogs
down
an
entire
block
that
another
company
might
be
interested
in
also
making
that
run.
That's
what
will
bubble
over
to
pic2
be
so
that
they're
notifying
all
participants.
Okay,
so
just.
G
D
D
I
D
I
know
you
sign
it:
I
sign
it,
but
my
permit
people
are
getting
in
I'm
sure
Public
Works
are
absolutely
inundated
with
the
number
of
requests
that
are
coming
in
saying
that
their
lateral
dimensions,
I,
believe
they're,
not
they're,
basically
go
for
the
conduit
itself.
It's
building
out
of
a
backbone.
G
I
E
D
A
F
M
Yeah
once
they
thought
of
this
Sam
brought
me
peace
together,
city
shadow,
Verizon,
corporate,
and
then
this
MC
is
my
life.
There's
a
section
connecting
of
Boylston
Street
jockey
Vaness
that
detectives,
which
we've
been
able
to
utilize
quite
a
bit
of
their
they're
kinda
waiting
for
things
that
through
to
to
licenses
that
we
to
the
process
with
them
before
so
once
again,
it's
the
run
from
while
that
we
doubt
it
Burt
might
have
to
the
final
destination
is
over
across
the
street.

The
final
item
public
hearing

the
Massachusetts
Department
of
Transportation

the
city
of

the
office
of

of

lines
of
Dorchester

a
public
way
in
South
Boston
generally
north
of

This
was
new
business
on

that
shown

P
Massdot
plan
requirements
at
our
last
meeting,
we
discussed
the
limits
of
this
particular
extension
of
Dorchester
Ave.
The
southern
limit
was
clearly
defined
by
the
street
acceptance
plan
of
Dorchester
Ave
in
the
northern
limit
was
just
south
of
the
bridge
apartment
so
that
we
would
have
no
conflict
with
with
that
bridge,
which
is
part
of
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts.
P
L
D
D
Q
The
proposed
project
is
a
forty
four
story:
residential
tower
with
five
below
grade
levels
of
parking,
the
below
grade
parking
structure
and
foundation
takes
up
a
large
chunk
of
the
site,
and
the
reason
that
were
here
is
that
we
need
some
excavation
support
in
the
public
way
to
enable
that
foundation
to
be
constructed
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Kevin
to
walk
through
the
details.

noting
that
you

They
have

better

infrastructure
seems
to
pick
up
all
the
time
and
these
awkward,
sometimes
where
P
I
see
action.
Kids,
you
get
caught
the
people,
so
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they
know
of
your
work.
I
Q
E
Those
very
good
intentions
in
prior
episodes
have
not
quite
fit
our
needs
so
that
we
do
have
I
mean
they're
all
utilities
I'm,
not
speaking
on
viola,
but
there
are
assets
when
it
gets.
Mr.
has
some
really
bad
consequences
because
of
the
proximity
of
of
this
location
to
the
federal
building
and
a
few
other
things
yeah
so
give
us
some
assurances
about
the
communications
y'all
have
had
with
viola.
A
D
G
I'll,
add
to
that
you're
a
receipt
of
my
comments
right,
the
project
team
regarding
the
West
Side
interceptor,
which
is
you
know,
another
large
sewer
that
we
have
and
so
I
make
relatively
the
same
comments.
Every
time
we
have
a
large
excavation,
which
we
see
plenty
of
next
to
large
water
and
sewer
assets,
which
is
the
pre
and
post
inspection,
video
inspection
of
the
sewers
and
the
settlement
deformation
monitoring
between
the
point
of
excavation
and
our
assets.
G
So
that's
further
detailed
in
my
response
to
you,
which
not
a
name
you
were
copied
on,
but
I
was
thinking
about
it.
A
couple
meetings
ago
pattern
you
and
asked:
how
do
we
ensure
that
that
happens
and
I
think
what
we
need
to
do
is
when
you
do
the
pre
and
post
inspection
of
particularly
the
West
Side
intercept
there.
G
That
needs
to
be
submitted
to
me
to
be
reviewed
by
the
design
team
at
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer,
and
then
the
mechanism
will
use
going
forward
to
make
sure
these
things
happen,
along
with
the
settlement
data
is
that
we
won't
issue
water
and
sewer
connection
permits
to
the
project
until
we're
satisfied.
The
pre
and
post
inspection
after
excavation
is
completely
reviewed
and
signed
off
on
because
excavation
first
utility
second,
so
we
will
make
sure
that
that
signed
off
before
the
next
phase
of
construction
begins
somewhere.
We
review
those
videos.
Q
E
Very
very
exciting
project
that
you
see
happening,
lavance
away,
I
think
he's
going
to
be
disturbed
a
little
bit
the
street
by
the
time.
You
are
done
through
all
your
constructions,
that
are
connections,
utility
connections.
If
I
get
the
feeling
list,
it's
going
to
take
a
bit
of
a
PD,
so
once
you're
all
done,
have
you
given
some
thoughts
as
to
what
you
will
do
to
make
our
street
the
way
it
needs
to
be
in
front
of
your
wonderful
project.
N
J
E
N
N
D
The
echo
exciting
projects
coming,
however,
there
will
be
a
few
challenges
along
the
way,
specifically
with
your
attention
system.
Obviously,
it's
within
the
public
right
away
as
it
fronts
on
the
Main
Street
guide,
walls,
pre
trenching,
pushing
out
the
way.
We
have
many
many
challenges
right
now.
What
is
this
expected
to
go
into
construction?
We.
D
D
P
E
E
D
Theater
distance,
the
initial
things
in
plants
and
construction
and
flames
I've
seen
it
look
pretty
good,
but
I
just
want
to
verify
some
of
the
assumptions
that
we're
talking
about
and
I
appreciate
the
earth
protection
system.
You
know
it's
a
little
bit
more
basic
I
thought
but
I
think
come
up
with
a
plan
will
confirm
that.
