Good

actually
it's

good
morning,

the

Hanley
McDermott

miller,
131
oliver
street
in
boston
with
me,
is
David
O'sullivan,
foremost
Sullivan
architects.
Just
briefly,
to
give
you
some
background,
as
I
think
we
indicated
at
the
new
business
hearing
on
the
16th
this
site
that
we're
here
for
is
a
fully
approved
VRA
article
80
mixed-use
development.
It
is
the
former
side
of
the
Liberty
Bell,
roast
beef
restaurant
location
between
B
and
C
Street
in
the
lower
end
of
South
Boston.
It
is
bounded
by
athens
street
at
the
rear
and
broadway
at
the
front.
L
As
part
of
our
article
lady
process,
we
had
a
very
extensive
and
positive
community
outreach
with
the
neighborhood
organization
and
abutters,
and
we
enjoyed
unanimous
support
for
this
development
based
on
a
lot
of
the
programming,
some
of
which
is
part
of
the
application
for
the
specific
repairs,
the
street
trees,
the
curb
cut,
as
well
as
the
easement
back
at
the
rear
of
the
site
on
Athens
Street,
David
O'sullivan,
who
is
here
to
answer.
Questions
has
made
some
of
the
requested
changes
or
the
requested
changes
to
the
earth
retention
system
and
the
street
tree
component.
M
One
of
the
things
that
was
brought
up
at
the
hearing
was
making
sure
we
had
sufficient
distance
between
our
light,
the
existing
light
poles
in
the
street
trees,
so
we've
adjusted
those
locations
there
that
had
a
slightly
adjust
our
bike
racks.
So,
basically,
now
we
have
two
Street
free
here
that
are
far
enough
away
from
the
street
lights.
That
was
really
only
issue
is
on
the
specific
repairs
portion
of
it
should
go
through
all
all
three.

Last
time
we
had
had,
we
haven't
changed
the
extent
of
excavation,
but
there
was
concerned
by
inspectional
services.
So
we
have
now
revised
the
detail
showing
a
temporary
shoring
system
at
the
edge
of
our
excavation,
that
is
about
four
feet
off
of
four

Good
morning,
I
am
Sarah
and
Chuck
and
I'm
a
project
manager
for
the
Massachusetts
Port
Authority
with
me
today.
Our
consultants
Adams
disc,
from
dewberry
engineers,
as
well
as
taught
us
from
HDR
from
Massport
a
also
have
Michael
bottle
ara
with
me,
the
proposed
project
would
install
masport
owned
and
maintained
sidewalk
pedestrian
lighting
from
the
Belle
Isle
bridge
to
the
edge
of
our
property,
just
east
of
an
ovoid
street.
N
This
is
a
response
to
community
request
to
further
enhance
the
gateway
between
East,
Boston,
Winthrop
and
essentially
the
entire
city
of
Boston,
which
reach
recently
saw
improvements
over
the
past
few
years,
with
the
completion
of
the
bridge,
the
relocation
of
belle-isle
seafood
and
the
demolition
of
a
gas
station.
The
turn
over
to
Adam
to
further
describe
the
project.
Thank
you
morning.
O
As
Sarah
noted,
the
the
project
is
primarily
to
install
eight
new
street
lights
along
the
south
side
of
saratoga
Street,
starting
just
inside
the
the
property
line
going
all
the
way
over
to
the
to
the
bridge.
These
will
be
the
same
style
of
lights
that
currently
start
on
the
bridge
and
head
into
a
Winthrop
about
18
feet,
tall
and
and
detailed
is
shown.
O
Power
from
the
lights
will
come
from
an
existing
line
that
goes
into
the
property
will
come
down
an
existing
pole
to
a
new
controller
that
will
be
on
Massport
property
that
will
control
the
lights.
Some
of
the
other
work
that's
going
on
is
part
of
the
project,
there's
going
to
be
some
brush
removal
on
site
and
also
the
light,
the
lights
that
the
existing
lights
and
utility
poles
currently
start
on
the
south
side
of
saratoga
street,
and
they
go
three
poles
in
before
the
line
crosses
over.
O
So
we
have
asked
verizon
who's
the
pole
owner
to
relocate
two
of
those
existing
holes
across
the
street,
and
they
are
currently
in
that
process
and
they'll
be
petitioning
you
in
the
not-too-distant
future,
and
the
only
thing
so
as
part
of
this.
What
we're
requesting
from
you
is
because
the
property
line
does
not
follow
the
curve
of
the
street.
It's
on.
O
It's
on
a
straight
line
comes
to
an
angle
point
where,
at
the
back
of
right
at
the
face
of
the
fence
kind
of
midway
along
the
face
of
the
property,
three
of
the
proposed
poles,
the
associated
hand,
holes
and
some
of
the
conduit
will
be
within
the
the
right
away.
So
we're
asking
for
a
specific
repairs
to
perform
that
action,
and
the
only
other
thing
I
know
it's
contingent
on
we're
coming
up
with
an
agreement.
G
G
Please
allow
us
to
do
any
coordination
work
that
is
needed
to
remove
the
orbea
just
the
verizon
phone
lines,
but
those
were
a
point
of
issue
when
we
were
rebuilding
the
bridge
plus
when
the
bridge
was
filled,
the
lights
that
are
on
the
bridge.
We
make
accommodations
for
Pamela's
to
be
installed
on
those
give
consideration.
If
that
can
be
done,
and
we
are
not
asking,
but
if
that
consideration
can
be
given
to
carry
a
common
banner
p,
if
that
is
possible,
that's
fine!
If
not,
that
is
also
fine
in.
N

P
A
gym
members,
my
name
is
del
mandaue
work
for
masco,
the
medical,
academic,
scientific
and
community
organization.
We
represent
the
24
members
and
associate
members
of
the
longwood
medical
area
here
with
a
jeep
rowdy
of
bhp,
also
anderson,
also
with
masco
and
andrew
barresi,
risking
associates
today,
we'll
be
presenting
the
latest
phase
of
a
30-year
masco
saanich
program,
which
started
several
years
before
me
to
basically
help
pedestrians
and
drivers
navigate
through
the
LMA.
P
During
a
previous
phase
in
2010-12,
we
intentionally
left
out
about
several
signs
due
to
impending
construction
and
several
of
building
projects
which
have
since
been
completed
today.
We're
requesting
approval
for
four
new
signs:
five
hundred
sighs
I'm.
Sorry.
So
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
hand
it
over
to
lagi,
proud
of
your
project
manager
to
go
through
the
details,
breakdown.
D
D
G
J
McAleese
long,
the
intersection
of
long
hood
and
roof
line,
it's
a
very
busy
pedestrian
intersection.
Hopefully
you
have
located
these
in
a
sensible
way
so
that
it
isn't
contact
with
pedestrian
traffic,
nor
any
sight
lines
for
vehicular
traffic.
Seikaly
have
a
stoplight
there
that
maybe
it
mounted
yeah.
D
D
G
D
In
addition,
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
the
project
is
currently
looking
at
relocating
relocating
one
additional
sign.
That
would
be
a
sixth
sixth
sign
recline
and
francis
street,
we're
going
through
the
necessary
of
agency
coordination
now
and
we're
hoping
if
we
do
receive
that
those
agency
approvals
that
this
will
go,
but
that
sign
will
go
on
the
forthcoming
public
hearing.
I
O
D
D
B
B
E
E
E
H
The
reason
that
they're
at
this
triggers
be
I
see
is
the
extra
wide
driveway
to
get
into
the
parking
lot.
So
this
is
a
straight
replacing
kind.
Cement
concrete,
curb,
blinds,
not
moving.
Nothing
else
is
moving
no
license
and
make
this
agreement.
It's
all
city,
standard
materials,
it's
the
driveway
and
the
reconfigure
of
the
driveways
that
that
triggered
p.I.c
I
believe
that
they
also
have
a
crosswalk
question
that
they're
trying
to
resolve
with
the
Transportation
Department
I
can't.
G
Very
quickly
figure
out
where
the
lighting
situation
is
the
streetlights.
Are
there
any
Street
like
falls
within
the
cyborg?
You
are
going
to
rebuild
that's
question,
one
question
two:
is
it
overhead
lights
or
is
it
I
believe
it
may
be
underground?
This
thing,
I,
don't
know
I
can't
recall,
do
you
have
a
sense
of
what
those
might
be
and.

A
H
B
Mr.
late
to
mr.
Hazzard
point
about
the
communication
with
the
city,
gentlemen,
you
need
to
reach
out
to
his
tom
mckay
from
office
of
neighborhood
services.
He's
the
child.
Star
representative
I
asked
that
he
give
him
a
call
before
the
public
hearing
and
result
that
parking
issue.
If
there
is
one,
if
there's
on-street
parking
there,
how
it
should
be
handled.
B
Q
R
Good
morning,
commissioners,
my
client
presently
owns
266
summer
street
and
274
Summer
Street.
They
do
not
own
268
Summer
Street.
For
the
past
number
of
years,
they've
been
providing
IT
service
between
the
two
buildings
by
running
a
cable
or
conduit
over
the
roof
of
268
as
a
temporary
solution
and
under
a
gentleman's
agreement
that
building
is
currently
for
sale
and
that
opportunity
is
about
to
end.
We
were
also
aware
that
summer
street
is
in
design
and
most
likely
will
go
out
for
construction,
the
end
of
this
year
or
next
year.
R
So
we
look
at
this
as
a
possible
opportunity
to
make
a
permanent
condition
to
resolve
the
issue
with
the
rando
l
by
allowance
by
installing
a
conduit
within
the
sidewalk,
approximately
three
feet
off
the
building
face
between
the
two
buildings.
We're
also
proposing
the
shadow
conduit
for
the
city's
use
in
the
future.
I
have
coordinated
our
plans
with
the
design
documents
that
the
city
presently
has
and
I
assure
you
that
there
are
no
conflicts
between
what's
being
proposed
on
those
plans
and
what
we're
proposing
today.
G
S
Owners
of
the
buildings
have
no
plans
on
going
anywhere.
Word
is
rapidly
changing
down
standing
by
how
our
business
is
growing
for
nada,
we've
grown
so
much
that
we've
taken
the
engineering
fair
market
price,
all
in
74.
We
now
currently
have
two
floors:
266
working
for
confidential
flights
are
placing
more
and
more
demands.
Ups.
They
here
to
increase
my
visits
by
thirty-five
percent,
so.
G
O
R
We
ready
it's
a
question
that
we
register
with
they
say
yeah,
we
are
not.
We
have
reached
out
to
dig
safe
and
it
was
an
interesting
conversation
because
the
response
we
got
from
dig
safe
is
and
I
have
a
quote
from
Robert
finale
executive
director
at
dig.
Safe
is
they're
not
aware
of
a
prior
private
equity
being
told
that
they
must
register
must
join,
dig
safe,
so
we
reached
out
to
them
saying
we'd
like
we
need
to
join,
dig
safe
in
order
to
install
this
conduit
and
we
got
some
pushback
from
dig
safe.
R
G
Three
years
down
the
road
we
will,
this
ever
being
the
bills
it
we
need
to
figure
out
how
we
build
your
stuff.
So,
let's
assume
be
overcome
out
of
those
challenges.
Ten
years
down
the
road
on
20
years
down
the
road
we
need
its
rebuild,
the
city
needs
to
be
held
harmless
from
any
and
all
activities.
Okay,
because
we
are
not
going
to
be
responsible
for
tearing
up
your
asset,
no
does
any
other
party
if
they
so
choose
to
do
the
space
underneath
the
sidewalk
use
the
cities
and
there
may
be
other
utilities.
