          [00:10:01]
PROVIDE AN UPDATE. 
          THIS IS EMILY HUTCHINGS FROM CDD STAFF. 
          THIS IS THE SECOND OF TWO REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THIS CASE. 
          THE FIRST HEARING WAS ON APRIL 28TH, AND THE BOARD VOTED TO MAKE A POSITIVE PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION ON THE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL WITH THE FINDING THAT IT IS IN GENERAL CONFORMANCE WITH THE ZONING AND PLANNING FOR THE AREA, AND PROVIDES PUBLIC BENEFITS THAT OUTWEIGH ITS ADVERSE IMPACTS. 
          THE BOARD HAD PROVIDED A LIST OF QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN. 
          THE APPLICANT HAS SUBMITTED A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND RESPONSES TO THE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS RAISED AT THE PRELIMINARY PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION. 
          THE BOARD'S ACTION IS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REMAINS IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE AREA PLANNING AND ZONING, AND IS RESPONSIVE TO THE REQUESTS IN THE PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION IN ORDER TO GRANT THE PUD SPECIAL PERMIT. 
          THE PUD CRITERIA AND THE OBJECTIVES THAT WERE CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS DISTRICT ARE INCLUDED IN THE STAFF MEMO, ALONG WITH OTHER COMMENTS ON THE PROPOSAL, DPW AND DOT HAVE ALSO PROVIDED MEMOS AND STAFF FROM THOSE DEPARTMENTS ARE ALSO PRESENT AT THIS MEETING TO PROVIDE CLARIFICATION. 
          ALSO INCLUDED IN THE STAFF MATERIALS ARE RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS FOR THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATION TO ATTACH TO THE SPECIAL PERMIT, SUBJECT TO DISCUSSION AND FINAL AGREEMENT ON THE WORDING BEFORE A DECISION IS FILED. 
          THE CONDITIONS WOULD GOVERN THE ONGOING DEVELOPMENT OF THE PUD AFTER THE SPECIAL PERMIT APPROVAL, INCLUDING A DESIGN REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS BY THE BOARD FOR EACH SITE AND A PROCESS TO APPROVE FUTURE AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU, EMILY. 
          UM, I'LL NOW TURN OUR ATTENTION TO THE APPLICANT HERE. 
          THE PRESENTER I UNDERSTAND WILL BE ATTORNEY JIM RAFFERTY PRESENTING FOR HEALTH PEAK. 
          YOU HAVE UP TO 30 MINUTES FOR YOUR PRESENTATION, THOUGH. 
          WE HOPE YOU CAN BE AS CONCISE AS POSSIBLE SINCE WE'VE SEEN THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES. 
          BUT PLEASE INTRODUCE YOUR PROJECT AND TEAM BEFORE YOU BEGIN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GOOD EVENING, MR. CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. 
          UM, MY NAME IS JAMES RAFE. 
          I'M AN ATTORNEY WITH OFFICES AT 9 0 7 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE, AND I SERVE AS LOCAL COUNSEL FOR THE APPLICANT HEALTH PROPERTIES. 
          I'M JOINED BY MY CO-COUNSEL, ANTHONY GUCCIO. 
          UH, JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE INSIGHT INTO WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE TWO LOCAL ATTORNEYS WITH EGOS, WE HAD AN ARM WRESTLING CONTEST ABOUT WHO WOULD GO FIRST THIS EVENING. 
          UH, EVEN THOUGH HE'S STRONGER THAN ME, I POINTED OUT THAT ANYTIME THE MEETING IS HELD IN A VENUE WHERE HIS PORTRAIT IS HANGING ON THE WALL, HE SHOULD BE MAGNANIMOUS AND STEP BACK. 
          AND HE, HE HAS AGREED TO DO THAT . 
          UM, BUT HAVING SAID THAT, IT IS A TRUE PLEASURE TO BE HERE FIVE YEARS BEFORE THIS GROUP HAS MET IN PERSON. 
          AND I HAVE TO SAY, WITHOUT, AT THE RISK OF BEING ACCUSED OF BEING SYNCO, FANTIC, ZOOM DOES NOT DO YOU PEOPLE JUSTICE. 
          YOU LOOK GREAT, HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FIVE YEARS. 
          I MEAN, I KNOW THAT WHAT GOES ON HERE IS TERRIBLY IMPORTANT AND SERIOUS, BUT I HOPE YOU ALLOW ME A MOMENT TO SAY WHAT A PERSONAL PLEASURE IT IS TO RETURN TO A LIVE MEETING, TO HAVE LIVE MEMBERS, TO BE ABLE TO WALK AROUND A MODEL, SEE PEOPLE LIKE MR. MAN FREDDIE, WHO USED TO USED TO DO THIS A LOT MORE REGULARLY. 
          BUT I'M ALSO PLEASED TO REPORT THAT WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT REALLY REPRESENTS MANY, MANY MONTHS OF HARD WORK, HARD WORK, NOT JUST ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY BY THE STAFF. 
          YOU'LL RECALL OF THE TIME BACK IN APRIL WHEN THE PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION, UH, WAS UNDER CONSIDERATION. 
          IT WAS THE CASE THAT, UH, SOME MEMBERS WANTED SOME ASSURANCES ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT STEPS WERE. 
          AND THE NEXT STEPS HAVE BEEN VERY VIGOROUS. 
          AND I'M PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE STAFF MEMOS THAT, UH, EMILY REFERRED TO HAVE BEEN A PRODUCT OF INPUT AND COLLABORATION WITH THE APPLICANT. 
          SO WE'RE ABLE TO REPRESENT TO YOU TONIGHT THAT THE PROPOSED CONDITIONS, THE ELEMENTS OF MITIGATION, AND THE GENERAL FINDINGS, THERE ARE ALL IN AGREEMENT WITH THE APPLICANT. 
          UH, AND THAT ISN'T, UH, SOMETHING THAT WAS ARRIVED AT EASILY BECAUSE PRIORITIES SHIFT AND TIMING IS IMPORTANT. 
          BUT WHAT REALLY MAKES TONIGHT'S SPECIAL IN MY VIEW, IS THIS REPRESENTS A LONG SOUGHT PLANNING GOAL OF THE CITY IN THIS SECTION OF THE CITY WHERE WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY TRANSFORM, UH, THIS CORNER OF THE CITY. 
          I WOULD ONLY DRAW TO YOUR ATTENTION, WHAT I BELIEVE IS A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT COMMUNICATION YOU RECEIVED VERY RECENTLY, WITHIN THE LAST DAY OR TWO, THE QUESTION APPROPRIATELY HAS BEEN ASKED, WHAT IS THE STATUS OF, OF THE BRIDGE? SO MUCH OF THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROJECT RESTS ON, UH, A PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION TO THE LYT STATION. 
          THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THE ZONING WAS CRAFTED WITH THAT UNDERSTANDING IN MIND AND IN FACT, LIMITS, WHETHER WE EVER GET TO A FULL BUILD FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE ZONING IN PLACE IN THIS DISTRICT LIMITS WHAT CAN BE DONE UNLESS THAT BRIDGE IS 
          [00:15:01]
CREATED. 
          WE'VE SPENT YEARS WORKING WITH THE T ON THE BRIDGE, AND CANDIDLY, FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, WE WERE MAKING PROGRESS IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION. 
          THEN THE T UH, INFORMED US THAT THEY HAD SOME ADDITIONAL PRIORITIES THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. 
          AND WE WINCED A BIT WHEN WE LEARNED THAT. 
          BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE LETTER FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE T, YOU'LL SAY THEY, THEY ARE IMPORTANT PRIORITIES, AND THEY REALLY HAVE GO TO THE HEART OF WHAT THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, THAT AREA NEEDS TO BE. 
          AND WHAT THE T HAS COMMITTED TO IS TO ENGAGE IN A PROCESS OF STUDY IN A REASONABLE TIMELINE. 
          BUT ALL THE WHILE ALLOWING US TO PURSUE AN, AN OPPORTUNITY HERE AND SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT SHOULD GO TO BOTH MS. PETERS AND THE CITY MANAGER WHO HAVE SHOWED A LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT WITH T LEADERSHIP, SENIOR T LEADERSHIP, THAT I DON'T THINK THERE'S A PRECEDENT FOR IN THE CITY. 
          WE WOULD NOT HAVE THE COMMITMENT THAT WE HAVE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE T WITHOUT THEIR INVOLVEMENT. 
          SO TONIGHT REPRESENTS A CHANCE TO REALLY IMPLEMENT THE VISION THAT YOU APPROVED IN THE PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION. 
          AND ALL OF THAT WILL TAKE PLACE, NOT IN A DAY OR IN THE FIRST YEAR OR TWO. 
          WE ARE GONNA SET FORTH HERE THE NETWORK, THE GROUNDWORK FOR A, A DECISION MAKING STRUCTURE THAT WILL INVOLVE LOTS OF FURTHER INVOLVEMENT, UH, BY THE PLANNING BOARD, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, CONTINUED INVOLVEMENT BY THE DESIGN STAFF AND, UH, OTHER PLANNING STAFF IN THE CITY. 
          AND WE HAVE WRITTEN INTO THE ZONING A FORMAL ROLE, AN ADVISORY ROLE FOR NEIGHBORS AND CITIZENS. 
          AND WE'RE EAGER TO BEGIN THAT PROCESS TOO, TO ALLOW FOR THE COMMUNITIES MOST AFFECTED BY THE DEVELOPMENT TO PARTICIPATE, PARTICULARLY IN THE DETERMINATION OF ACTIVE USES. 
          AND, UH, ANTHONY WILL GO THROUGH ALL OF THAT. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          WE'RE VERY MINDFUL OF THE TIME. 
          WE HAVE SPENT LOTS OF TIME SHORTENING OUR PRESENTATION, SO, UH, BEAR WITH US, BUT I HOPE YOU'LL FIND IT INFORMATIVE. 
          BUT THE TRUE STORY, UH, I THINK IN THE TRUE, UH, RESULTS HERE ARE IN THESE MEMOS DONE BY THE STAFF, WITH OUR COLLABORATION AND THE NETWORK OR THE FRAMEWORK ORGANIZED THERE ON THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS, WE'RE VERY OPTIMISTIC. 
          WE'LL ALLOW YOU TO REACH A CONCLUSION THAT WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TONIGHT, UH, IS APPROPRIATE AND WORTHY OF GOING FORWARD. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          NOW, ATTORNEY COLUCCIO. 
          THANK YOU, JIM. 
          I APPRECIATE IT. 
          OH, IT'S ALL I'M STARTING TO REALIZE I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE PUT MORE PERSONAL COMPLIMENTS INTO MY SCRIPT , BUT AS JIM MENTIONED, MY NAME IS RYLAND SQUIRREL. 
          I'M A DIRECTOR ON THE INVESTMENTS TEAM AT HEALTH PEAK. 
          AND IT'S GREAT TO SEE EVERYONE HERE AGAIN AFTER FIVE MONTHS. 
          UM, HEIDI AND I WERE REMINISCING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND WENT BACK AND LOOKED THROUGH OUR FILES, UM, BACK BEFORE THE MORATORIUM, BACK BEFORE THE REZONING, THE A LY WORKING GROUP TO SEE WHEN OUR FIRST PRESENTATION WAS. 
          AND AS JIM MENTIONED, OUR VERY FIRST INVESTMENT MEMO ON THE MASTER PLAN WAS SEPTEMBER, 2021, ALMOST EXACTLY FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY. 
          UM, AT THAT TIME, SOMEONE TOLD US THE JOURNEY THAT WE WOULD BE GOING ON WITH THAT FIRST ACQUISITION. 
          WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED YOU, BUT THROUGHOUT THAT JOURNEY, IT'S BEEN EXTREMELY REWARDING. 
          AND WE'VE MET MANY AMAZING PEOPLE, UM, MANY OF WHICH IS THROUGH THE WORK ON THE L WIFE WORKING GROUP, THE MBTA, THE CITY, UM, AND AMONGST THE COMMUNITY, SO MANY OF INDIVIDUALS, UM, HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO PERSONALLY LEAVE THEIR TOUCH ON THIS MASTER PLAN AND MAKE IT THEIR OWN. 
          MANY OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE HERE IN THE ROOM WITH US TODAY OR JOINING US ONLINE. 
          UM, A HANDFUL OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY OUR TEAM MEMBERS, UH, THAT WILL BE SPEAKING HERE TONIGHT. 
          WE HAVE DAVID, MAN FREDDY AND JOHN MITCHELL, WHO ARE OUR MASTER PLAN ARCHITECTS. 
          AND WE HAVE CHRIS JONES, WHO IS OUR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, WHO IS JOINING US VIRTUALLY. 
          WE HAVE SELMA MANZO PREZI, WHO IS OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEER, UH, JESSICA ZICK, WHO'S OUR SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTANT. 
          AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE HAVE MICHELLE NKI, WHO IS OUR FEARLESS LEADER. 
          AND THE WHOLE REASON WHY WE WERE ABLE TO GET THROUGH ALL 200 PLUS COMMENTS, UM, IN AN ORDERLY FASHION. 
          UM, AND I LEARNED YESTERDAY WAS HER BIRTHDAY. 
          SO HOPEFULLY THIS MEETING GOES WELL AND GIVE HER SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE. 
          UM, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I'D HAVE TO SAY IS THE RESIDENTS AND THE NEIGHBORS THAT ARE JOINING US, UM, WHO HAVE BEEN WITH US THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS, THEY WERE THERE THROUGH THE ENVISION ALEWIFE REZONING, AND THEY'RE THE REASON WHY THE PLAN IS THE WAY THAT IT IS TODAY. 
          UM, WE ALSO WANNA EXTEND A HUGE THANK YOU TO THE CITY, UM, FOR GUIDING US THROUGH THIS PROCESS, OR CALLOUS MEANS OVER THESE LAST FIVE YEARS, PARTICULARLY IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. 
          I AM SURE THEY'RE SICK OF MEETING WITH US AT THIS POINT, UH, BUT WE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD A GREAT PLAN TO PRESENT TO YOU TODAY AND MADE SURE IT ADDRESSED ALL OF YOUR CONCERNS. 
          UM, BUT IT WAS WITH THE GUIDANCE OF THE CITY AND THE COMMUNITY THAT OUR PLAN NOW BOASTS 2300 UNITS OF MUCH NEEDED HOUSING, 76,000 SQUARE FEET OF RETAIL IN THE FORM OF NEIGHBORHOOD, 
          [00:20:01]
USES OVER 12 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE WITH MILES OF BIKE PATHS STREWN THROUGHOUT, UM, AS WELL AS $300 MILLION OF INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT THAT'S IN THE FORM OF STREETS, UTILITIES, SIDEWALKS, BICYCLE PATHS, AND ALSO THE LONG AWAITED, UH, PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE, WHICH AS JIM MENTIONED, WE'VE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROCE, UH, PROGRESS ON WITH THE NBTA. 
          THANKS TO MELISSA PETERS AND CITY MANAGER HUANG. 
          UM, WE ALSO WANNA EXTEND A THANK YOU TO PLANNING BOARD MEMBER COHEN, FOR YOUR COMMENTS AT OUR LAST MEETING ABOUT HOW WE NEED TO MOVE THE BRIDGE FORWARD. 
          IT WAS YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT GALVANIZE THE CITY AND THE MBTA THAT WE WERE ABLE TO POINT TO AND REALLY BROUGHT THEM TO THE TABLE TO LOOK AT OUR VISION. 
          UM, ADDITIONALLY, PLANNING BOARD MEMBER TAN, WE BELIEVE YOU'LL BE PLEASED WITH OUR, OUR PROGRESS ON REDUCING PARKING. 
          UM, WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF STEPHANIE GROHL AND BROOKE MCKENNA AT DOT, WE WERE ABLE TO REDUCE OUR PARKING BY 400 SPACES FROM THE ALREADY RELATIVELY LOW ZONING MAXIMUMS, AS WELL AS PUT IN MECHANISMS, UM, WITHIN THE ZONING THAT WILL REDUCE OUR PARKING BY ADDITIONAL 900 SPACES OVER TIME, TOTAL IN 1300 SPACES, AROUND 25 TO 30% OF OUR OVERALL APPROVED PARKING SUPPLY. 
          AND AFTER THAT, OUR RATIO WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THAT OF KENDALL SQUARE, EVEN THOUGH THIS SUBMARKET CURRENTLY HAS A FAIRLY DIFFERENT COMPLEXION TO KENDALL SQUARE. 
          UM, WITH ALL THESE CHANGES, I CAN FULLHEARTEDLY SAY THAT WE HAVE CRAFTED VERY THOUGHTFUL AND RESPONSIVE MASTER PLAN HERE TONIGHT, AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU ALL. 
          UM, WITH THE PLANNING BOARD, PLANNING BOARD'S APPROVAL, WE'LL BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH FINAL PRICING OF THE FIRST RESIDENTIAL BUILDING, WHICH WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO POTENTIALLY MOVE FORWARD. 
          THAT WOULD INCLUDE A VARIETY OF EARLY ACTIVATIONS THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO CREATE A SENSE OF PLACE HERE IN ALEWIFE AND START TO DEVELOP COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY. 
          THE SECRET IS RESIDENCE RESIDENTS UNLOCK, THE NEIGHBORHOOD USES THE ART INSTALLATIONS, THE OPEN SPACE, THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE THAT IS SO DESPERATELY MISSING FROM THE QUAD THAT WILL ALLOW US TO CONNECT AND BUILD AND GENERATE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY. 
          THERE ARE MANY CHALLENGES IN COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. 
          I'M ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE RIGHT NOW, BUT AS WITH THE PAST FEW YEARS, AND TODAY, HEALTH PEAK IS EAGER TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD IN THAT PROCESS AND TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO EVALUATE RESIDENTIAL WHOLE WHOLEHEARTEDLY, AS WELL AS GET IN FRONT OF COMMERCIAL TENANTS TO TAKE US SERIOUSLY WITH OUR ENTITLEMENTS AND SHARE WITH THEM EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE WORKED ON OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. 
          WITH THAT, I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL VERY, VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE WORK THAT SUBSTANTIAL, SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WORK THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE PUT INTO THIS PLAN, UM, OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THE CITY, THE NBTA, THE L LIFE WORKING GROUP OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I'M PASS IT OFF TO ANTHONY TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS. 
          THANK YOU BRA. 
          UH, THAT WAS GREAT, AND THANKS FOR YOUR ENERGY. 
          I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THE ACTUAL REASON WHY ATTORNEY RAFFERTY WENT FIRST IS BECAUSE HIS, HIS MOTHER CALLED ME AND SAID SHE WANTED TO SEE HIM ON TV, BUT SHE DIDN'T WANNA WATCH THE WHOLE MEETING, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE MRS. RAFFERTY WAS ACCOMMODATED. 
          UM, I WANNA FIRST, UM, JUST TAKE THE LIBERTY. 
          UM, MY ROLE IS TO SORT OF TALK ABOUT FROM APRIL TILL TODAY, WHICH AMAZINGLY IS FIVE MONTHS. 
          AND, UH, ALTHOUGH WE, UM, WE WERE VERY PLEASED TO, TO BE APPROVED, WE WERE ALSO CHARGED WITH A NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT WE NEEDED TO ADDRESS THAT RANGED FROM TO DESIGN TO PARKING. 
          JIM MENTIONED THE MBTA ISSUE, UH, AND A RANGE OF ISSUES IN BETWEEN. 
          UM, AND I THINK WE'VE, WE'VE, UH, BEEN RESPONSIVE TO THOSE. 
          BUT MARY, YOU, YOU MENTIONED THAT WE NEEDED TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UM, WHICH I LOVE WHEN YOU DO THAT. 
          IT'S, IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF THIS, THIS JOB AND MY ROLE. 
          UM, AND I, I DO WANNA REMIND FOLKS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REZONINGS THAT JIM AND I HAVE DONE FOR VARIOUS CLIENTS. 
          AND THIS ONE IS, THIS WAS A CITY, UM, ORCHESTRATED AND LED REZONING. 
          SO I JUST QUICKLY WANT TO SAY TONIGHT IN THE PLAN, YOU'LL SEE CHANGES, MODIFICATIONS, AND PRINCIPLES, UM, THAT REALLY RELATE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL WORKING GROUP. 
          AND I'M JUST GONNA MENTION, UM, ANN TENNIS, JOHN CHUN, LIZZIE FEN BAUM, UM, ANNE AND JOHN PARTICULARLY WERE POSSESSED TO MAKE SURE THEY COULD ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT TO PROTECT THE HIGHLANDS. 
          UM, HEALTH PEAK STEPPED IN, PURCHASED THE LAND ADJACENT, UH, THE CITY STEPPED FORWARD, EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN A DPW SITE. 
          THOSE TWO THINGS HELPED PROTECT THE HIGHLANDS FOR A LONG TIME. 
          I, I JUST HAVE TO SAY, UH, PARTICULARLY ANTENNA'S NAME BECAUSE SHE'S, SHE'S BEEN PROTECTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR, FOR 30 YEARS. 
          UH, ANN STEWART, UH, FROM THE LOWER QUAD WHO'S INFLUENCE ON TERMINAL ROAD AND OTHER ISSUES TONIGHT, ERIC RENBAUM, WHO WAS POSSESSED BY THE RAIL STOP, UM, 
          [00:25:01]
I THINK WILL BE VERY PLEASED THAT THE MBT ACKNOWLEDGES URBAN RAIL POTENTIAL AND A RAIL STOP. 
          AND SUHAS, UM, KADA KALI, UM, FROM A BC WHO, WHO REALLY PUSHED HOUSING. 
          UH, AND I WANT TO MENTION DOUG BROWN AS WELL, WHO PUSHED US ON INTERIM ACTIVATION AND ONGOING COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. 
          SO I JUST, I HAVE TO SAY THOSE 'CAUSE I THINK THOSE FOLKS HAVE DRIVEN AN AMAZING PROCESS AND, AND THEIR GOOD FAITH IS EVERYTHING TO US. 
          UM, I WANNA POINT OUT IN APRIL, UM, JIM AND I CAUTIONED THE CLIENT THAT IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO TRY TO GET ALL THIS PERMITTING DONE DURING THE SPRING AND SUMMER. 
          SO I DO HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU TO STAFF SWATHI, PARTICULARLY YOU WHO WE'VE DRIVEN CRAZY. 
          UM, STEPHANIE GROHL, BROOKE, UM, MELISSA, DAN, EMILY, UH, KARA. 
          WE HAVE BEEN JEFF. 
          WE'VE BEEN RELENTLESS TRYING TO GET THIS DONE. 
          AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS WE WANT TO KEEP HEALTH PEAK'S ENERGY AND COMMITMENT AT THE TABLE AND MOVE FORWARD ON BUILDING A PLACE YOU ASKED US, UM, TO ADDRESS BUILDING A COMPLETE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WILL START WITH HOUSING, IT WILL START WITH INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE CAN DO IN THE INTERIM, WHILE THE COMMERCIAL MARKET IS, IS FAULTY. 
          SO WE WANTED TO GET THE ENTITLEMENTS AND MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO I JUST WANT TO THANK STAFF COMPLETELY, UH, FOR THEIR ATTENTION, ESPECIALLY DURING THE SUMMER. 
          UM, I DO WANT TO PAY ATTEN. 
          UH, JIM MENTIONED THE MEMOS. 
          I DO ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT, UM, THE VARIOUS COMMITTEES THAT WE MET WITH. 
          WE KEPT MOVING THROUGH THE MEPA PROCESS OVER THE SUMMER, WHICH INVOLVED GREAT ENGAGEMENT. 
          UM, BUT THE, THE TRANSIT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, BIKE AND PED, PARTICULARLY TRANSIT ADVISORY FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND BIKE AND PED FOR A NUMBER OF, OF KEY COMMENTS. 
          UM, I ALSO WANT TO JUST FOCUS ON, UH, AS RYLAND MENTIONED, OUR SPEAKERS, DAVID AND JOHN MITCHELL HAVE WORKED TYLER AS LEADER TO ADDRESS DESIGN CONCERNS. 
          UM, THAT CAME UP AT THE APRIL MEETING. 
          UH, CHRIS JONES WILL SHOW YOU SOME EXCITING OPEN SPACE ILLUSTRATIONS THAT YOU ASKED FOR TO REALLY PUT COLOR ON THAT. 
          SELMA HAS ENJOYED SPENDING HEALTH PEAKS MONEY AND WILL BE ABLE TO REPORT BACK ASHLEY, THAT MITIGATION IS COMPLETE. 
          AND PDTM, UH, IS ALSO IN AGREEMENT. 
          JESSICA HAS GREAT NEWS, I THINK FOR YOU, TOM, ON SUSTAINABILITY. 
          AND RYLAND'S GONNA COME BACK TO TALK ABOUT OUR COMMITMENT TO HOUSING, NEIGHBORHOOD USES AND ACTIVATION. 
          THIS JUST SUMMARIZES THE MODIFICATIONS, UM, BY CATEGORY. 
          I'M NOT GONNA GO INTO THEM. 
          PUBLIC REALM, PHASING AND COORDINATION CONNECTIONS AND MITIGATION, SUSTAINABILITY AND INFRASTRUCTURE, AND ALL THE MODIFICATIONS AND RESPONSES WITHIN THOSE CATEGORIES. 
          I THINK THAT SORT OF SUMS UP THE PRINCIPLES, UM, OF THE SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION. 
          AGAIN, THE, THE CATEGORIES FOR TONIGHT, PUBLIC REALM, PHASING, CONNECTIONS, MITIGATION, SUSTAINABILITY, AND INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          AND REALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DELIVER IS A COMPLETE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          SO THE, THE VARIOUS EXPERTS, UH, WILL BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH THEIR FIELDS AND HOPEFULLY SATISFY YOU IN THOSE AREAS. 
          I WILL TURN IT OVER TO SOMEONE YOU KNOW WELL, DAVID, MAN, FREDDIE, GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY, MAN. 
          FREDDY FROM CUSS MAN, FREDDIE ARCHITECTS IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS. 
          AND, UM, I THINK WE HAVE A LITTLE TIME LEFT, GENTLEMEN. 
          UM, YOU ARE LOOKING AT HEALTH PEAK'S HOLDINGS IN ALEWIFE, AND WHAT'S RE ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE IS NOT JUST THE SCALE, UM, BUT, UM, THE, UH, AMOUNT OF, OF, UH, CONTIGUOUS LAND HOLDINGS HERE. 
          UH, AND THEY ARE CLEARLY THE KEY TO CONVERTING THIS FROM WHAT IS, UH, AN AREA LARGELY LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO BEGINNINGS OF RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          BUT THE REAL OPPORTUNITY IS TO SU SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT, UH, THE ENVISION L WIFE PLAN, WHICH SO MANY OF YOU HAD SO MUCH INPUT INTO OVER TIME. 
          NEXT, PLEASE, JOHN. 
          YOU CAN SEE EXISTING CONDITIONS AND THE EXISTING CONDITIONS ARE JUST LARGELY DEVOID OF ANY SENSE OF PUBLIC REALM, OF WALKABLE STREETS, OF WALKABLE SIDEWALKS, AND OF, OF OPEN SPACE. 
          NEXT. 
          AND WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT CONNECTIONS, UM, OVER MANY MONTHS WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE WORKING GROUP, AND WITH ALL OF YOU AND THE VERY SIMPLE DIAGRAM, THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT ADJACENT, UH, OPEN SPACE, PUBLICLY BENEFICIAL OPEN SPACE. 
          AND WHAT THIS SITE CAN DO IS REALLY MAKE THE CONNECTIONS, THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE L WIFE BROKER, UH, RESERVATION, UH, AND FRESH POND, AND THE EL AND THE CONNECTIONS EAST WEST FROM ALL THE WAY FROM BLAIR POND TO DANA. 
          HE PARK NEXT. 
          AND I LOVE THIS DIAGRAM BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES 
          [00:30:01]
IT SHOW YOU WHAT THE PLAN IS REGARDING ALL OF THOSE HOLDINGS, BUT IT COLOR CODES THE USES. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE, UH, THERE IS, UH, A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL. 
          THERE IS A LOT OF COMMERCIAL. 
          UM, WHAT YOU REALLY CAN'T SEE SO WELL IS THAT ALL OF THE GROUND FLOOR USES THAT WILL BE COMMITTED TO ACTIVE USES, NEIGHBORHOOD USES AS, AS DEFINED IN ALL OF THE, THE LANGUAGE THAT WE'VE ALL BEEN THROUGH. 
          BUT YOU'LL ALSO SEE THE OP, THE, THE AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE THAT WILL BE CREATED, NEW BENEFICIALLY, UM, UH, ACCESSIBLE OPEN SPACE, UH, BUT ALSO THE IMPROVEMENTS IN PUBLIC REALM, THE CONNECTIONS OF STREETS, THE NETWORK THAT JUST DOESN'T EXIST TODAY. 
          NEXT, THERE ARE HERE, I THINK 18 BUBBLES,  AND THE 18 BUBBLES REPRESENT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF CHANGE SINCE WE'VE, WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH THIS GROUP, UH, LAST, AND THOSE CHANGES COME OUT OF CONVERSATIONS, AGAIN WITH ALL OF STAFF, UM, WITH URBAN DESIGN STAFF, THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, THE TRANSIT AND TRAFFIC FOLKS, UM, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE WORKING GROUP. 
          UH, AND THE COMMENTS THAT WE GOT FROM PLANNING BOARD THE LAST TIME, UH, WE WERE HERE. 
          I'M GONNA GO THROUGH THESE VERY, VERY QUICKLY, AND I'M GONNA DO IT BY DISTRICT NEXT, JOHN. 
          SO I'LL START IN THE NORTHWEST. 
          AND YOU KNOW WHERE I AM. 
          UM, I'M, I'M UP AT, UH, MOONEY STREET, AND PROBABLY THE ONE OF THE BIGGEST MOVES THAT WERE MADE WAS MADE HERE IS MOVE MOONEY STREET, MOVE MOONEY STREET OUT OF THE CENTER OF THAT PICTURE. 
          AND TO THE TOP OF THAT PICTURE ALONGSIDE THE TRACKS, WHAT IT DID WAS IT CREATED THAT A PROMENADE FROM EAST TO WEST. 
          WE CAN SEE FROM R EIGHT ALL THE WAY OVER, QUITE ALMOST TO THE EDGE OF BLAIR POND WITH PROGRAMMING COMMUNITY, UM, THAT, UM, COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING, WHICH, UM, CREATED PLACES THAT DON'T REQUIRE A TRANSACTION. 
          OPEN SPACES, TRELLIS SPACES, UM, PUBLIC ART, UM, PLACE SPACES, UH, THAT THE, A MULTI-USE LAWN THAT CHRIS WILL GO INTO MUCH MORE DETAIL ABOUT A NEW PLA, A NEW HARDSCAPE PLAZA. 
          YOU, YOU COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT THE EVENTS, UH, THAT THESE SPACES CAN ACCOMMODATE. 
          WE MOVED BUILDING C FOUR, ONE OF THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS THAT HAS ACTIVE USE ON THE GROUND FLOOR. 
          WE MOVED IT TO THE CORNER, WE WORKED SPECIFICALLY WITH, WITH ERIC KELSON ABOUT THIS. 
          AND THE IDEA WAS MOVE IT TO THE CORNER AND OPEN UP THE SPACE IN THE MIDDLE, NOT JUST TO ACCOMMODATE THE SPACE, BUT TO BE AN INVITATION, AN INVITATION TO, UH, THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND IN FACT, UM, TO THE, TO THE CITY. 
          WE WIDENED MOONEY STREET TO ADD GREAT SEPARATED BIKE BIKE LANES. 
          WE'VE CREATED A DEDICATED SERVICE DRIVE ON THE NORTH, UH, TO C ONE, WHICH WASN'T THERE BEFORE, UH, WHICH TERMINATES IN SOME PARKING AND A CIRCLE THAT, UH, WILL ALLOW ACCESS TO, TO BLAIR POND FOR, FOR THE PUBLIC. 
          UH, AND, UM, AND WE DID CREATE A, A, A PROPOSED TO CREATE A DEDICATED PEN AND BIKE PATH TO BLAIR POND. 
          WE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATION WITH THE CITY AND STAFF ABOUT A POSSIBLE FUTURE SECOND BRIDGE. 
          AND, UM, AND WE'VE ACCOMMODATED THE POSSIBILITY OF THAT. 
          WE HAVEN'T PRECLUDED IT WITH ANY OF OUR BUILDING OF ANY, OR ANY OF OUR PLANNING. 
          AND VERY SIGNIFICANTLY, UH, WE'VE CREATED, WE'VE INCREASED THE, THE, UH, SIZE OF THE DEDICATED LAND TO BE CONVEYED, CONVEYED TO DPW FROM AN ACRE, A LITTLE OVER AN ACRE. 
          UM, AND I CIRCLED, I SHOULD BE CIRCLING HERE TO 1.25 ACRES. 
          NEXT, I'M GONNA MOVE TO THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT AND SOME VERY BIG MOVES HERE, UH, AGAIN, AT THE URGING AND, AND SUGGESTION OF, UM, CITY STAFF, THE PURCHASE OF, UH, REAL ESTATE HERE THAT ALLOWED THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE STREET AND THE INTERSECTION WITH CONCORD AVE. 
          YOU CAN SEE, UH, HOW THAT KIND OF CLEANS UP THIS WHOLE INTERSECTION CREATES GREEN SPACE ON EITHER SIDE. 
          UM, CREATES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A DEDICATED TURN LANE AT SMITH, UH, ONTO CONCORD REVISED ADLEY. 
          UM, IN ORDER TO MAKE IT A, A, A CONNECTED WAY, UM, A FOUR-WAY INTERSECTION, UPDATED PROGRAMMING, UH, AT, AT THE PARK, INCLUDING PLAY SPACES, UH, AND PLAYGROUND SPACES. 
          AND AGAIN, THE OPPORTUNITY FOR, FOR, UM, UH, OUTDOOR PUBLIC ART. 
          UM, BUT A GATHERING SPACE, A GREEN SPACE, UH, WHERE THERE HAS NEVER BEEN GREEN SPACE. 
          NEXT. 
          AND SO NOW I'M IN THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT, AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF UPDATES TO WHAT WE ARE CALLING MAIN STREET. 
          UH, WE'VE, 
          [00:35:01]
UH, UPDATED THE MASSING. 
          IT'S C SEVEN AND C EIGHT, AND THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE VIEW TO THE BRIDGE. 
          AND WE THINK OF THE, THE BRIDGE AS THE NEXUS. 
          UM, IT IS THE CENTER OF ALL OF THIS, UM, PUBLIC ACTIVITY. 
          AND SO WE'VE CHAMPED THESE CORNERS. 
          WE'VE OPENED UP THAT VIEW. 
          WE'VE WIDENED THE BIKE LANES THROUGHOUT, AGAIN, DIRECT IN IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO, UH, REQUESTS AND IDEAS THAT, UM, STAFF BROUGHT FORWARD. 
          UH, CREATED DEDICATED TURNING LANES AT AT MOLTEN AND, AND FAUCET ADDED AGAIN, ART OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PARKS AND, AND WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          USES THE RED REPRESENTS ACTIVE RETAIL RESTAURANT, UM, UH, FABRICATION USES OF ALL KINDS THAT WILL ENGAGE PEDESTRIANS. 
          THIS IS A PLACE WHERE HEALTH PEAK CONTROLS BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. 
          UH, WE CAN CREATE A REALLY GOOD POSITIVE, UH, TWO-SIDED STREET THAT CAN BE THE CENTER OF SOCIABILITY FOR THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          NEXT, UH, AND THEN IN THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT, AND THIS IS WHAT I MEAN BY, UH, KIND OF THE CENTER OF PLACE, UH, THE CENTER OF PLACE BECAUSE OF THE GREEN SPACE AND THE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE GREEN SPACE BECAUSE OF SOME EXISTING REALLY IMPORTANT, UH, NEIGHBORS, UH, IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, THAT ARE TREASURED BY EVERYBODY, INCLUDING, UH, IGGIES. 
          AND, UM, THE BRIDGE, OBVIOUSLY THE BRIDGE, UH, UH, FIRST PROBABLY THE FIRST RESIDENTIAL BUILDING ARE TWO, UH, WITH FOOD AND BEVERAGE, UH, WITH AMENITY SPACES, UH, AND WITH EMBED KIND OF SOLUTIONS TO THE RESILIENCY ISSUES. 
          SO YOU'LL SEE, YOU'LL SEE THERE THAT, UM, THE, THE CONNECTION FROM R ONE, YOU DON'T SEE IT, IT'S SLIGHTLY OFF THE DRAWING, BUT R ONE TO THE WILSON EXTENSION, UH, TO BE CONVEYED TO THE CITY. 
          THE BEND PARK, WE'RE CALLING THIS BEND PARK, UH, WITH ITS PROGRAMMING AND DESIGN CHANGES, SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES TO R TWO. 
          UH, WE'VE IN FACT MOVED THE BUILDING WEST TO INCREASE THIS DIMENSION BETWEEN R TWO AND THE EXISTING BUILDING. 
          WE'VE CREATED LARGER UNITS TO ACCOMMODATE FAMILIES. 
          UH, WE'VE STEPPED THE, THE FACADE OF THE BUILDING AGAIN, TO OPEN UP A, THE INCREASE THE VIEW CORRIDOR, UM, TO THE BRIDGE, UH, CREATED THIS NEW TERRACE THAT WILL OVERLOOK BEND PARK. 
          AND YOU BEGIN TO SEE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACTIVITY IN BEND PARK, AGAIN, PLACES FOR NEIGHBORS, UH, WHERE NO TRANSACTION IS REQUIRED. 
          AND I'M GONNA GO INTO A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL ON THE BRIDGE UPDATES YOU HEARD ABOUT PROGRESS WITH THE MBTA AND THE CITY. 
          UH, AND LET ME GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE AND WE'LL TALK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT, UM, THE DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS. 
          IT IS FULLY ACCESSIBLE. 
          UM, AND IT HAS BEEN, UH, THROUGHOUT ALL OF OUR, OUR, UM, PRESENTATIONS TO YOU. 
          THE PATH IS 14 FEET WIDE. 
          WHAT IS NEW? AND AGAIN, THIS CAN'T COMES OUT OF, UM, STAFF URGING AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE'VE RADIUS THESE CORNERS, UH, IN, IN ORDER TO MAKE IT MORE ACCOMMODATING TO BICYCLES AND PEDESTRIANS WHEN BOTH ARE ON THE PATHS. 
          UM, THERE ARE STAIRS ON BOTH SIDES. 
          YOU CAN TAKE THE SHORTCUTS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY AROUND. 
          UH, AND WE'VE INTEGRATED LIGHTING, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS SECTION. 
          IT IS IN FACT NOT THE, THE KIT OF PARTS THAT YOU SAW AT LAST. 
          IT IS A CUSTOM DESIGN BRIDGE FOR THIS LOCATION. 
          UM, AND IN RESPONSE TO ALL OF THE, THE, THE INPUT THAT WE RECEIVED FROM CITY STAFF. 
          NEXT, MY LAST, MY LAST PART OF THIS IS PHASING, AND I'LL, I'LL TAKE YOU THROUGH PHASING, AND YOU'LL SEE ON THE RIGHT THE, THIS IS A CUMULATIVE NUMBER. 
          SO IN PHASE ONE, A 1000 NEW HOUSING UNITS, AND THAT'S ALL OF THE HOUSING THAT ARE IN THE YELLOW FOOTPRINTS HERE. 
          11,500 SQUARE FEET OF NEIGHBORHOOD USES, UH, LARGELY IN THE BASE OF THESE BUILDINGS, BUT ALSO WITH, UM, SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO DO SOME MORE THINGS IN EXISTING BUILDINGS, A HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE FEET PUBLICLY BENEFICIAL OPEN SPACE IMPROVEMENTS AT, UH, FAUCET AND SMITH, UH, AND THE CONVEYANCE OF THE 1.25 ACRES OF DPW LAND NEXT. 
          AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THESE ARE GONNA KEEP ADDING UP. 
          SO, UH, IN, IN PHASE ONE B, UH, THE BIG NUMBERS ARE REALLY, UH, ADDITION OF NEIGHBORHOOD USES ADDITION OF OPEN SPACE BECAUSE OF ALL THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT HERE, UH, IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT, MOONIE GREEN, NEW MOONEY STREET, AND THE BED, UH, PED BIKE BRIDGE STARTS CONSTRUCTION IN PHASE ONE B NEXT. 
          SO NOW HOUSING IS UP TO 1,280 UNITS. 
          [00:40:01]
NEIGHBORHOOD USES BASICALLY HAVE REMAINED THE SAME BECAUSE WE'RE IN LARGELY COMMERCIAL, A COMMERCIAL PART OF, UM, THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT PUBLICLY BENEFICIAL OPEN SPACES JUMPED DRAMATICALLY BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS SPACE. 
          SMITH PARK IMPROVES SMITH PLACE AT AT, AT CONCORD AVE. 
          AND THE, THE BED BIKE P BRIDGE, UH, IS NOW COMPLETE IN PHASE TWO A NEXT PHASE TWO B HOUSING NOW 2300 UNITS, 75,000 TOTAL NEIGHBORHOOD USES OVER A HALF A MILLION SQUARE FEET OF PUBLICLY BENEFICIAL OPEN SPACE. 
          YOU CAN SEE ALL OF WHAT'S BEEN ADDED HERE AT BEN PARK. 
          UM, THE, THE WILSON CONNECTION, THE NEW MAIN STREET IN PLACE, UH, ALL PART OF ACCESSIBILITY, UH, BUILDING SOCIABILITY, UH, INTO THIS NEW NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          NEXT, AND, AND AT THIS POINT, CHRIS JONES ON SCREEN. 
          CHRIS, UH, THANKS DAVID. 
          CAN YOU ALL HEAR ME OKAY? IS THAT A YES? I HOPE, YES. 
          GREAT. 
          UM, WELL, THANK YOU. 
          FIRST, I'D LIKE TO APOLOGIZE THAT I COULDN'T BE THERE IN PERSON. 
          I HAD AN UNAVOIDABLE, UH, CONFLICT THAT HAS ME ON THE WEST COAST FOR THE NEXT FOUR DAYS. 
          UM, BUT IT'S A, UH, DELIGHT TO BE HERE AND PRESENT THIS. 
          AND I KNOW WE'RE EATING UP A LOT OF TIME, SO I'M GOING TO MOVE A LITTLE QUICK, UH, QUICKLY. 
          AND, UM, NOT WAX POETICALLY ON ALL THESE SPACES FOR YOU, . 
          UM, BUT WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS, UH, UH, REALLY THE 30,000 VIEW WITHOUT ARCHITECTURE, UM, BEING, UH, RENDERED SO THAT YOU CAN REALLY CAPTURE A SENSE OF THE, UH, OVERALL OPEN SPACE AND THE CONNECTIVITY OF THAT OPEN SPACE. 
          AND I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH MUCH LIKE DAVID DID, UM, SOME OF THE KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF EACH OF THE FOUR AREAS OF THE QUADRANGLE. 
          SO MOVING ON TO, UH, THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT, DAVID TOUCHED ON THE FACT THAT, UM, SOME BUILDINGS SHIFTED. 
          C TWO C3 SHIFTED A LITTLE BIT SOUTH AND C FOUR TO THE EAST. 
          AND IF YOU RECALL, UM, THIS GREEN SPACE WAS DOMINATED BY A, A LARGE OPEN WATER BODY IN THE PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION. 
          AND THROUGH THE COMMENTS OF THE PLANNING BOARD AND THE CITY STAFF THAT WE REALLY SHOULD FOCUS ON PROVIDING ACTIVE, UH, AND PASSIVE PLAY SPACE FOR RECREATION, UH, WE ELIMINATED THAT OPEN GREEN, UH, WATER, UM, UH, FEATURE AND INCORPORATED IT INTO A, UM, A STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT IS INTEGRATED, UH, AROUND THAT CENTRAL PAVILION YOU SEE HIGHLIGHTED IN THIS, UH, PINK CIRCLE. 
          UM, WE WERE ABLE TO, BY PULLING THAT OUT, CREATE SOME GREEN SPACES THAT CAN FUNCTION AS SPORTS PLAY RECREATION. 
          UM, THEY'RE NOT LARGE ENOUGH GREEN SPACES TO HANDLE FULL SIZE SOCCER COURTS OR SOCCER FIELDS, BUT THEY CAN, UM, THEY'RE MICRO SPORTS COURTS. 
          SO IMAGINE THE AREA C THAT LARGE GREEN SPACE COULD BE, UH, A REGULATION FIELD FOR U NINE SOCCER. 
          UH, TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF THAT, UM, DAVID MENTIONED THE CREATION OF A NEW PLAZA THAT SITS ON SMITH PLACE WITH, UH, OPPORTUNITIES FOR A PAVILION AND PUBLIC ART, FOOD TRUCKS AND THE LIKE, AND SORT OF THE REORGANIZATION OF THE PRIME PROMENADE THAT MOVES EAST WEST ALONG C ONE OR C TWO AND C3, AND TO THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          UH, YOU SEE THE CONTINUATION OF THAT WITH, UM, UH, UH, AN ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION. 
          THIS CONNECTION ALL THE WAY THROUGH WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE WIDE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE SERVICE AND EMERGENCY VEHICLES, BUT IT'S PREDOMINANTLY FOR THE PEDESTRIAN ON A REGULAR USE CONDITION. 
          UM, IN THIS AREA, WE ALSO ENHANCED AND, UM, MODIFIED SLIGHTLY THE, UH, WHERE YOU SEE LETTER, UH, THE LETTER E UH, THE NEIGHBORHOOD PARK WITH SOME, UH, MULTI-USE COURTS, PLAYGROUND PAVILION, AND WHERE YOU SEE D UM, DEFINING A, A PE UH, PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE CONNECTION TO THE HIGHLANDS. 
          UH, MOVING TO THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST. 
          UM, DAVID MENTIONED, UH, THE ENHANCEMENT OF, UH, SMITH PARK. 
          UM, AGAIN, THE COMMENTS FROM THE CITY AND, AND ALL WERE ABOUT INCORPORATING ACTIVE RECREATION. 
          SO WE INCREASED TO THE, UH, EXTENT POSSIBLE WHERE YOU SEE LETTER C, THE GREEN SPACE THAT CAN ALSO FUNCTION AS A U EIGHT, UH, SOCCER FIELD, OR OTHER USES, UH, AS NEEDED. 
          AND THE INCORPORATION OF MULTI-USE COURTS WHERE YOU SEE LETTER B AND THE PAVILIONS THAT ANCHOR BOTH ENDS OF THAT, THE PAVILIONS AND THE, UM, AND THE SCULPTURE AND ALL OF THOSE COMPONENTS THROUGHOUT, WE SEE AS KEY ELEMENTS OF WAYFINDING. 
          THAT WOULD BE, UH, ONE LEVEL OF THE HIERARCHY OF WAYFINDING THAT WOULD BE INCORPORATED IN ADDITION TO SIGNAGE AND OTHER ELEMENTS THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO IDENTIFY 
          [00:45:01]
SPACE AND CREATE DIRECTION THROUGH THESE PARKS. 
          UM, MOVING TO THE, UH, SOUTHEAST, UM, REALLY THE ONLY, THE PRIMARY UPDATES HERE WERE TO ENSURE WHERE YOU SEE LETTER B THAT WE WERE PROVIDING A, A RICH EXTENSION OF THE MAIN STREET PLAZA THAT WILL CONNECT TO THE EXISTING DEVELOPMENT ON ULTIMATELY ONTO WHEELER STREET. 
          UM, THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OTHER SUBTLE CHANGES THAT ARE HARD TO SEE IN THE PLAN RELATED TO MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION, EDITS OF THE STREETS, UM, AND NEW MAIN STREET AS WELL. 
          AND, UH, LASTLY IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER, UH, QUADRANT, DAVID DID TOUCH ON THIS. 
          THE BIG MOVE THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL WAS THE, UH, SHIFTING OR THE PULLING BACK OF THE EAST EDGE OF R TWO REALLY OPENED THE, UH, THE VISUAL AND PHYSICAL APERTURE, UM, FROM MAIN STREET TO THE BRIDGE SO THAT YOU SEE THAT CONNECTION AS YOU'RE MOVING ALONG MAIN STREET OR COMING FROM THE BRIDGE. 
          WE ALSO MODIFIED THE MULTI-USE PATH, UH, A STEP DOWN TERRACE FROM, FROM R TWO THAT, UM, ALIGNS WITH OR, OR MEETS THE MULTI-USE PATH AND PROVIDES A SAFE CONNECTION ACROSS FAUCET STREET TO THE BRIDGE AND VICE VERSA, AND INCREASED AND, UM, MASSAGED THE, UH, CHILDREN'S PLAY SPACE. 
          THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE LETTER D, UM, AND REALLY STARTED DEFINING WHERE THE PAVILIONS OF PUBLIC ART COULD BE WITHIN THIS SPACE TO PROVIDE THAT LINKAGE AND, AND, UH, CONNECTIVITY TO THE BRIDGE FROM MAIN STREET. 
          AND WITH THAT, I THINK I CAN HAND IT OFF TO SELMA. 
          AWESOME. 
          AWESOME. 
          THANK YOU, CHRIS. 
          UM, GOOD EVENING. 
          I'M S MANZO ZI TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER WITH VHB. 
          AND I'LL TAKE, UM, A FEW MINUTES TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, UM, AND THE MITIGATION PACKAGE FOR THE PROJECT. 
          SO LAST TIME WE WERE HERE, WE HEARD CLEARLY THAT THE BOARD WANTED TO SEE A STRONGER AND MORE FOCUSED TRANSPORTATION RESPONSE, ESPECIALLY AROUND PARKING PTDM AND MITIGATION COMMITMENTS. 
          UH, SO THE PLAN BEFORE YOU TONIGHT RESPONDS DIRECTLY TO THAT FEEDBACK. 
          UM, AS WELL AS COMMENTS AND DISCUSSIONS WE'VE HAD WITH CITY STAFF. 
          UH, THE PLAN REFLECTS, UH, REDUCED PARKING, UH, THAN FOR THE ROADWAYS, STRONGER CORRIDOR CONNECTIVITY IMPROVEMENTS, AND AN APPROVED PTD AND PLAN THAT'S DESIGNED FOR THE PROJECT TO REMAIN ACCOUNTABLE OVER TIME. 
          UM, AND I'M HAPPY TO REPORT, AS, AS WAS MENTIONED BEFORE, THAT THE PROJECT TEAM IS IN FULL ALIGNMENT WITH, UH, CITY STAFF AND THE MITIGATION PACKAGE AND THE COMMITMENTS THAT ARE REFLECTED IN THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION MEMO. 
          THAT'S, UH, THAT'S BEFORE YOU. 
          UM, AND SINCE THIS PROJECT IS ALSO ARTICLE 19 APPROVAL, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT A FULL TRANSPORTATION IMPACT STUDY OR TIS, UH, WAS COMPLETED AND CERTIFIED BY THE CITY, UH, IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. 
          UH, THE STUDY COVERED THE FULL REVIEW OF THE PLANNING BOARD IMPACT, UH, CRITERIA. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          UH, PARKING, UH, WAS CLEARLY NUMBER ONE TRANSPORTATION CONCERN, I THINK FROM, FROM ASHLEY AND FROM A FEW OTHERS THAT RAISED IT. 
          UH, SO I WANTED TO START HERE, UM, AND, AND TO HELP FRAME THE DISCUSSION, UH, TO SHOW THE INCREMENTAL REDUCTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. 
          SO STARTING WITH ZONING AND THEN INTO THE FUTURE WITH POTENTIAL REDUCTIONS. 
          SO READING THE CHART FROM, FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, UH, THE ZONING MAXIMUM IS AT AROUND 4,900 SPACES. 
          UH, THE LAST TIME YOU SAW US, WE WERE AT AROUND 4,600 SPACES. 
          IT'S THE LIGHT BLUE, UM, COLUMN. 
          UM, AND THE CURRENT MAXIMUM PLAN IS 44 82. 
          UH, THE COLUMN IN, IN ORANGE, WHICH, UH, AS YOU CAN SEE, IT'S, UM, IT'S, IT'S ALREADY BELOW ZONING AND IT'S ALSO BELOW, UH, THE, THE PRIOR PLAN. 
          UM, AND THEN THE PROJECT HAS A COMMITMENT TO FURTHER REDUCE PARKING AS EXISTING LEASES TURNOVER. 
          THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO DROP PARKING TO 3,900 SPACES, THE DARKER GREEN COLUMN, AND A FUTURE POTENTIAL OF 36 48 SPACES WITH MONITORING OF ACTUAL PARKING USAGE THROUGH VACANCY STUDIES. 
          UM, AND THE DETAILS AROUND THIS COMMITMENT ARE CAPTURED IN THE, IN THE CITY'S TRANSPORTATION MEMO. 
          UH, SO THIS MEANS THAT THE PROJECT IS NOT SEEKING TO BUILD OUT THE FULL ZONING BASED SUPPLY. 
          INSTEAD, UH, WE START BELOW ZONING AND INCLUDE A PATHWAY TO REDUCE PARKING FURTHER OVER TIME. 
          AT THE LOWEST FUTURE SCENARIO, THAT WOULD BE REDUCTION OF 1250 SPACES FROM ZONING, WHICH IS MORE THAN 25%. 
          UM, SHARED PARKING IS A BIG PART OF HOW THIS WOULD ACTUALLY WORK. 
          UH, DIFFERENT USERS NEED PARKING AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF DAY. 
          OFFICE EMPLOYEES, RESIDENTS, RETAIL CUSTOMERS, VISITORS, UH, THEY USE PARKING AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF SAY SO. 
          SO THE SAME SUPPLY 
          [00:50:01]
CAN SERVE MULTIPLE USERS MORE EFFICIENTLY, AND THAT ALLOWS THE PROJECT TO AVOID OVERBUILDING PARKING, AND INSTEAD IT CAN BALANCE ITS SUPPLY, UH, WITH REAL WORLD DEMAND. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          THE OTHER MAJOR PART OF THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, UM, UH, THE ROADWAYS AND HOW THIS PROJECT WILL CHANGE THE STREET GRID. 
          UH, THE WORK REFLECTS COMMENTS WE HEARD FROM THE CITY STAFF ABOUT THE NEED, UH, FOR MORE COMPLETE APPROACH IN CLOSING THE CURRENT GAPS THAT EXIST WITHIN THE PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE, UH, CONNECTIONS. 
          UM, AND, AND THE, AS WAS MENTIONED, THE BIKE PAD AND TRANSIT ADVISORY COMMITTEE WE'RE ALSO, UH, GREAT ABOUT SHARING THEIR, THEIR THOUGHTS. 
          UH, WE ARE USING THIS SLIDE AS A VISUAL TO SHOW HOW THE ROADWAYS WILL TRANSFORM FROM, UH, AN, AN AUTO DOMINATED CONDITION. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE, NO BIKE LANES, NO TREES, VERY NARROW SIDEWALKS INTO A SAFER MULTIMODAL OR A COMPLETE STREET, UH, WITH THE GOAL OF IMPROVING HOW ALL PEOPLE MOVE THROUGH THE AREA BY WALKING AS A CYCLIST ON A SHUTTLE BUS AND IN A VEHICLE. 
          SO THE PROPOSED PLAN ON, ON THE RIGHT SIDE, UH, AS YOU CAN SEE, INCLUDES CYCLE TRACKS, WIDE SIDEWALKS, LANDSCAPE BUFFERS, STREET TREES, UH, AND SAFE CROSSINGS FOR AN OVERALL IMPROVED SAFETY, UM, AND, AND ACCESSIBILITY. 
          SO RELATED TO THAT STREET TRANSFORMATION, UM, IS, IS THE LARGER CONNECTIVITY FEE, UH, PIECE. 
          AND I'LL, I'LL QUICKLY FLIP THROUGH. 
          THERE'S, THERE'S THREE OF THESE VERSIONS, UM, OF, OF MAPS. 
          UH, FIRST MAP IS, UH, WHERE THE SEGMENTS IN PINK INDICATE EXISTING ROADWAYS, UH, THAT WILL BE RECONSTRUCTED TO THAT FULL, COMPLETE STREET. 
          YOU CAN SEE FAUCET MOLTEN SMITH, UH, CONCORD AVE HIGHLIGHTED. 
          IF WE FLIP TO THE NEXT SLIDE. 
          UH, SEGMENTS IN YELLOW SHOW BRAND NEW STREETS AND BIKE PET CONNECTIONS THAT CURRENTLY DO NOT EXIST. 
          UH, MOONEY AREA IN THE NORTHWEST, BRAND NEW ROADWAYS AS WELL AS BIKE PAD ONLY LINKED TO, UM, TO LOOMIS. 
          UM, THEN IN THE NORTHEAST, THE, THE BRIDGE, OF COURSE, WITH THE, UH, DIAGONAL CONNECTION THAT'S STARTING TO SMITH, UH, AND THEN THE SOUTHEAST WITH NEW MAIN STREET WILSON EXTENSION AND THE EAST WEST LINKS. 
          AND IF WE FLIP ONE MORE, UM, AND THEN THE BLUE SEGMENTS ARE THOSE STRATEGIC PARTIAL CONNECTIONS OR STUB ROADS, UH, THAT SERVE AS A SETUP FOR, UH, FUTURE STREETS TO CONTINUE, AND AREAS THAT THIS PROJECT DOESN'T HAVE DIRECT CONTROL OVER. 
          IT MEANS THAT THE PROJECT IS DESIGNED, UH, NOT ONLY TO FUNCTION IN ITS INITIAL PHASE, BUT ALSO TO SUPPORT THE BROADER STREET NETWORK GOALS IDENTIFIED THROUGH THE CITY'S PLANNING, UM, AND THE ENVISION PLAN. 
          UM, AND THAT INCLUDES THE, THE FUTURE MALTUS PATH, UH, ALONG THE RAIL, UH, BOTH THE SEGMENT TO, UH, BACK TO BLANCHARD, AND THEN THE SEGMENT, UM, UM, WITH 24 AND 25. 
          UM, THEN, UH, THAT CONNECTION BETWEEN SMITH PARK AND BEND PARK, UH, AND THEN SPINELLI AND ADLEY EXTENSIONS INDICATED WAS 27 AND AND 28, AS WELL AS TERMINAL ROAD LINKED TWO WHEELER STREET, SEGMENT 29. 
          AND, AND SPECIFICALLY ON TERMINAL ROAD. 
          UM, HEALTH PEAK HAS COMMITTED TO FUND AN ORIGIN DESTINATION STUDY, UM, AND TO CONTRIBUTE, UH, UH, TO ADVANCING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT LINK AS WELL. 
          SO, SO THE KEY POINT HERE IS THAT THE PLAN IMPROVES LOCAL CIRCULATION NOW, UH, WHILE ALSO PRESERVING FUTURE OPTIONS FOR A MORE CONNECTED NETWORK OVER TIME. 
          A MAJOR PART OF THE MITIGATION PACKAGE, UH, EXTENDS BEYOND THE PROJECT BOUNDARIES AND FOCUSES ON CONCORD APP. 
          FROM BLANCHARD TO FRESH POND ROTARY, UH, WE, WE DO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A CHALLENGING CORRIDOR, AND THROUGH COORDINATION WITH CITY STAFF, THE PROJECT NOW INCLUDES MAJOR COMMITMENTS TO A LONG-TERM, TO LONG-TERM IMPROVEMENTS, UH, THAT WILL SUPPORT WALKING, BIKING, TRANSIT, SAFETY, AND ACCESSIBILITY. 
          OVERALL, THE SLIDE SUMMARIZES THE PACKAGE AS A 20 PLUS MILLION DOLLARS INVESTMENT, UH, WHICH IS VERY SIGNIFICANT, UH, CORRIDOR SCALE INVESTMENT. 
          THE, THE UNDERLINING WORK WOULD INCLUDE STUDIES, ALTERNATIVES, DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FUNDS. 
          UH, IMPROVEMENTS 
          [00:55:01]
COULD INCLUDE UPGRADED SIGNALS, CROSSINGS, UH, BICYCLE FACILITIES, WIDER SIDEWALKS, ACCESSIBLE BUS STOPS, BUS PRIORITY ELEMENTS, AND OTHER CHANGES TO IMPROVE SAFETY AND PERSON THROUGHPUT ALONG THE CORRIDOR. 
          UH, SO IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY HERE IS THAT THE CONCORD APP PLAN IS, UH, VERY SIGNIFICANT AND WILL BE CLOSELY COORDINATED WITH THE CITY, UH, AND COMMUNITY. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          UM, ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PROJECT WILL NOT ONLY RELY ON THAT LONG-TERM CARD IMPROVEMENT, WHILE THE BROADER CONCORD APP WORK ADVANCES. 
          THE PLAN ALSO INCLUDES SOME NEAR TERM AND MIDTERM IMPROVEMENTS AT KEY LOCATIONS. 
          UH, AND THOSE INCLUDE SOME TARGETED SIGNAL EQUIPMENT UPGRADES, UH, PEDESTRIAN AND ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS WITH NEW RAMPS AND CROSSWALKS AND BUS STOP ENHANCEMENT WITH BENCHES, SHELTERS AND LIGHTING. 
          UH, AND THIS IS FOR THE INTERSECTIONS OF SPINELLI SMITH MOLTEN AND FAUCET. 
          UH, THIS ALSO WOULD INCLUDE A FULL SIGNALIZATION OF THE INTERSECTION OF SMITH, UH, SMITH AT CONCORD. 
          UM, AND, AND THESE UPGRADES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE MITIGATION PACKAGE. 
          IT MEANS THAT THE IMPROVEMENT, THAT THE IMPORTANT SAFETY AND ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS HAPPEN IN THE NEAR, NEAR TERM AND MIDTERM, WHILE THAT LARGER CORRIDOR STUDY CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD FOR, FOR A LONGER TERM SOLUTION IN COORDINATION, AS MENTIONED WITH THE CITY AND WITH COMMUNITY, UM, AND BEYOND THE PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENTS, THE PROJECT INCLUDES A BROAD TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT OR TDM PROGRAM, UH, WHICH IS ALSO THAT ACCOUNTABILITY PIECE. 
          AS MENTIONED, THE PTDM PLAN, UH, IS APPROVED WITH THE CITY, AND THE COMMITMENTS IN THAT PLAN ARE FUNDED, MEASURABLE, AND ENFORCEABLE OVER TIME. 
          AND I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW COMMITMENTS THAT ARE ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT. 
          UH, FIRST IS THE SHUTTLE AND THE TMA SUPPORT AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT. 
          UH, HEALTH PEAK WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE A-Y-F-T-M-A. 
          THEY WILL FUND SHUTTLE OPERATIONS STUDIES AT EACH DEVELOPMENT PHASE, AND ALSO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR ADDITIONAL BUSES, UH, FOR THAT, FOR THE ALEWIFE LOOP. 
          UH, THOSE COMMITMENTS ARE INTENDED TO SUPPORT A ROUGHLY EIGHT MINUTE PEAK HOUR SHUTTLE SERVICE BETWEEN THE QUAD AND ALEWIFE STATION. 
          THE FUNDING WOULD ALSO SERVE FOR BRAND NEW OFF PEAK AND WEEKEND SERVICE THAT WOULD RUN EVERY 15 TO 20 MINUTES, UH, WHICH IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT, UH, BEFORE THE BRIDGE IS CONSTRUCTED. 
          AND THEN THE SECOND TO HIGHLIGHT ARE THE, THE BIKE AND BLUE BIKES COMMITMENTS. 
          THE PROJECT INCLUDES MORE THAN 3,500 BICYCLE PARKING SPACES COVERING SECURE, LONG-TERM INDOOR PARKING, REPAIR SUPPORT, VISITOR BIKE PARKING. 
          IT ALSO FUNDS AND PROVIDES SPACE FOR SIX NEW, UM, LARGE BLUE BIKE STATIONS, WHICH WOULD BE ADDING ABOUT 150 BLUE BIKES AND DOCKS TO THE QUAD. 
          AND THEN MORE BROADLY, THE, THE PTDM FRAMEWORK INCLUDES PARKING MANAGEMENT, TRANSIT SUBSIDIES, MONITORING SURVEYS, PARKING COUNTS, AND ONGOING REPORTING. 
          UM, SO THE, THE, THE KEY POINT ON THIS FINAL SLIDE IS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ACCOUNTABILITY AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, UH, WITH SERVICE COMMITMENTS MONITORING AND REAL ALTERNATIVES TO DRIVING. 
          SO OVERALL, WE, WE THINK THAT THIS IS A STRONG PLAN WITH THOUGHTFUL LONG-TERM STRATEGIES, UH, THAT INVEST IN ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION THAT WILL MAKE THE AREA MORE WALKABLE AND BIKEABLE, UH, WITH IMPROVED ACCESS TO TRANSIT AND, AND A STRONGLY MANAGED, UH, PARKING SUPPLY. 
          SO AS A WHOLE, THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL, UM, MAKE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN THE QUAD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JESS. 
          GREAT. 
          THANKS EMMA. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, MY NAME IS JESSICA ASHA. 
          I'M THE DIRECTOR WITH AT 10 SUSTAINABILITY. 
          EXCUSE ME. 
          I THINK, CAN YOU CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR MICROPHONE'S ON? SO THE TRANSCRIPT PICKS YOU UP. 
          THANKS. 
          SORRY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, THANK YOU SELMA. 
          UM, MY NAME IS JESSICA OPEK. 
          I'M A DIRECTOR WITH ATELIER 10 FOCUSING ON SUSTAINABILITY. 
          FOR TONIGHT, MY GOAL IS TO PROVIDE A SUSTAINABILITY PROGRESS UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO THE COMMENTS THAT WE HEARD FROM YOU ALL IN THE LAST MEETING. 
          THE MASTER PLAN'S GREEN BUILDING REQUIREMENTS UNDER ARTICLE 22 HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, INCLUDING CERTIFICATIONS OF THE GREEN BUILDING REPORT, THE GREEN FACTOR STANDARD, AND THE FLOOD RESILIENCE STANDARD COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS WILL BE LEAD GOLD CERTIFIABLE WHILE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS WILL EITHER PURSUE LEAD GOLD OR PASSIVE HOUSE CERTIFICATIONS. 
          AND AS EACH OF THESE BUILDINGS MOVE FORWARD, EACH ONE WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION AT THE DESIGN REVIEW STAGE WHERE WE WILL BE PROVIDING FURTHER DETAILS AND 
          [01:00:01]
SPECIFICS, YOU KNOW, WHEN THOSE ARE AVAILABLE. 
          UM, NEXT SLIDE. 
          UM, EXTENSIVE ANALYSIS WAS COMPLETED EARLY ON IN THE MASTER PLANNING PROCESS TO IDENTIFY ANY OPPORTUNITIES AND OR CHALLENGES FOR VARIOUS SUB-DISTRICTS OF THE SITE FOR EITHER SHARED WATER OR ENERGY SYSTEMS. AS MARY ASKED AT THE LAST PRESENTATION, FOR MORE CLARITY AROUND THE STORM WATER APPROACH, I AM HAPPY TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE MOONEY QUAD AND THE NEW MAIN STREET AREAS WILL HAVE THAT DISTRICT, THAT SHARED APPROACH TO STORM WATER COLLECTION, TREATMENT, AND INFILTRATION. 
          AND ALL OF THIS CAPACITY IS GOING TO BE INSTALLED DAY ONE BEFORE PARKING GARAGES AND REMAINING BUILDINGS ARE COMPLETED TO CONNECT TO THOSE SHARED SYSTEMS. UM, FOR SHARED ENERGY, THE TEAM COMPLETED A SERIES OF STUDIES BASED ON THAT PROJECTED MASTER PLAN PROGRAM DISTRIBUTION, AND PUBLISH THOSE FINDINGS, INCLUDING THE CHALLENGES WE FOUND IN THE GREEN BUILDING REPORT. 
          GIVEN THE CITY'S INTEREST IN EXPLORING THE QUADRANGLE AS A NEIGHBORHOOD SCALE, THERMAL ENERGY NETWORK, HEALTH PEAK HAS BEEN ACTIVELY COORDINATING WITH THE CITY AND EVERSOURCE AS THE OPPORTUNITY IS EVALUATED AND LOOKS FORWARD TO THE OUTCOMES OF THE CITY'S OWN STUDY WITH THEIR OUTSIDE CONSULTANT IN COORDINATION WITH EVERSOURCE TO DETERMINE IF THIS AREA OF CAMBRIDGE WOULD BENEFIT FROM SUCH A SYSTEM, AND IF SO, HOW THE DEVELOPMENT COULD ACTIVELY CONNECT TO AND SUPPORT THAT SYSTEM. 
          NEXT SLIDE. 
          UM, WE KNOW ELECTRIC VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE IS A MAJOR FOCUS AS WE CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR A FOSSIL FUEL FREE FUTURE IN CAMBRIDGE. 
          WE'RE EXCITED TO SHARE THE WAYS WE'RE EXCEEDING THOSE REQUIREMENTS RATHER THAN JUST CONFIGURING EV READY SPACES. 
          WE'RE INSTALLING SIGNIFICANT EV CHARGING CAPACITY FOR BOTH THE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROGRAMS WITH 10% AND EV 10, 10% AND 25%, SORRY, EV INSTALLED SPACES, UM, RESPECTIVELY, UM, THROUGH, THROUGH THOSE PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, UM, WITHIN THE PARKING STRUCTURES, HEALTH PEAK IS PROVIDING EV CAPABLE SPACES FOR THE REMAINING SPACES, WHICH INCLUDE THE CONDUIT NEEDED TO SUPPORT FUTURE CHARGING AS DEMAND INCREASES. 
          AND YOU'LL ALSO NOTE THAT WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 10% EV READY SPACES QUALIFIED FOR THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS. 
          UM, FINALLY, NEXT SLIDE. 
          IN RESPONSE TO THE DOTS REQUEST TO COMBINE PUBLIC EV VEHICLE CHARGING WITH E-BIKE AND OTHER DEVICE CHARGING, WE'RE ALSO GONNA BE CREATING THESE EV CLUSTERS DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE SITE TO PROVIDE A TOTAL OF 15% OF ON-STREET SPACES WITH EV CHARGING. 
          THESE EV CLUSTERS WILL INTEGRATE CHARGING NOT ONLY FOR VEHICLES, BUT FOR E-BIKES, SCOOTERS, AND OTHER MICRO MOBILITY DEVICES. 
          SO THIS WILL SUPPORT THE CITY'S PUSH FOR ENHANCED ELECTRIFIED MOBILITY. 
          AND WITH THAT, WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO DEVELOP THE PROPOSED SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGIES WITH EACH PHASE OF DESIGN WITH HEALTH PEAK'S FOCUS ON ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE AND STEWARDSHIP. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND I'LL PASS THIS BACK, TORY. 
          AWESOME. 
          THANK YOU, JESS. 
          UM, AT OUR LAST MEETING, THE PLANNING BOARD EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN BUILDING A SENSE OF PLACE AND CONTINUING OUR INVESTMENT IN NEIGHBORHOOD USES IN THE FORM OF ARTS AND ALSO EARLY ACTIVATION. 
          UM, REAL QUICK, I JUST WANNA POINT OUT, THE NEIGHBORHOOD USE TERM IS A NEW TERM CREATED THROUGH THE ALEWIFE, UM, WORKING GROUP PROCESS THAT IDENTIFIED TYPICAL RETAIL USES, BUT ALSO A VARIETY OF USES THAT THE RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT LIVE IN THIS AREA HAVE IDENTIFIED AS NEEDS AND USES THAT THEY WOULD NEED ON A DAILY BASIS. 
          UM, WITH THE HELP OF OUR PLACE MAKING AND RETAIL CONSULTANT OF PLACE, WE IDENTIFIED A VARIETY, A WIDE VARIETY OF NEIGHBORHOOD USES AND AREN'T INSTALLATIONS THROUGHOUT THE QUAD. 
          AS DAVID MENTIONED, WE ARE PLANNING TO INCLUDE 7,000 SQUARE FEET OF NEIGHBORHOOD USES IN THE FIRST RESIDENTIAL BUILDING, AND IT WILL INCLUDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADDITIONAL ART INSTALLATIONS. 
          WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS GONNA BE THE EPICENTER OF THE QUAD AND THE BEGINNING OF EARLY ACTIVATION. 
          AS WE HAVE OVER A THOUSAND UNITS OF EXISTING HOUSING. 
          WE HAVE IGGIES, IT IS SHATTERED SHADOW ANCHORED BY TRADER JOE'S AND ALSO WHOLE FOODS, AND IS ALSO THE FUTURE LOCATION OF THE, UM, PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE. 
          UM, FOR ALL THOSE REASONS, WE'RE INVESTING HEAVILY IN EARLY ACTIVATION SO FAR. 
          WE'VE ALSO ENGAGED LOCAL, UM, ARTISTS AND THE CAMBRIDGE COMMUNITY ARTS TO BUILD MURAL MURALS ON ONE 10 FAUCET AND 1 25 FAUCET. 
          ADDITIONALLY, WE'VE HOSTED TWO, UH, BLOCK PARTIES RIGHT AT THE BEND OF FAUCET NEXT TO IGGY'S, WHICH WERE A FANTASTIC SUCCESS AND A GREAT TIME. 
          UM, WE LOOK FORWARD TO MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR EARLY ACTIVATION AND WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY. 
          SO WE ARE EXCITED TO BEGIN WORKING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD USE ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT JIM MENTIONED EARLIER, AND WE ARE LOOKING TO EXPAND THAT OBLIGATION TO INCLUDE MORE RESIDENTS FROM THE COMMUNITY AND MORE COMMUNITY MEMBERS, UM, AS PER GUIDED BY DOUG BROWN. 
          NOW, SCENE IS BELIEVING, SO I'M GONNA PASS IT OVER TO, UH, DAVID, WHO'S GONNA GO THROUGH AN ANIMATION OF R TWO, THE FIRST RESIDENTIAL BUILDING AND SHOW THE POTENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD USES. 
          [01:05:01]
I PROMISE YOU IT'S LESS THAN TWO MINUTES. 
          UH, BUT IT WAS REALLY PRODUCED BECAUSE WE ARE IN A HYBRID SITUATION TONIGHT. 
          AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF FOLKS WHO CAN'T HAVE IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO OUR MODEL, THERE'S ALWAYS THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU WONDER IF IT'S ACTUALLY GONNA COME ON OR NOT. 
          SO LET ME TELL YOU WHERE YOU ARE. 
          UM, YOU'VE JUST EXITED THE NORTH END OF, OF MAIN STREET. 
          UM, YOU ARE HEADED TOWARDS WHAT WE'RE CALLING THE NEXUS. 
          UH, YOU ARE IN BEN PARK, WALKING NORTH ARE TWO. 
          THE FIRST OF THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IS ON YOUR LEFT. 
          YOU CAN SEE THE, THAT KIND OF FRONT PORCH ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING. 
          UM, HOPEFULLY WITH RESTAURANT ALONGSIDE OF IT, PLAY SPACES, SEATING SPACES, SHADE, COMFORT, UH, AGAIN, IN AN AREA WHERE THERE'S NO TRANSACTION, UH, THIS IS PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL. 
          YOU'RE LOOKING BEYOND TO THE BRIDGE. 
          YOU ARE LOOKING ACROSS, OBVIOUSLY, FAUCET, UH, AND LOOKING BEYOND TO THE BRIDGE. 
          UH, THAT'S WHAT THAT VIEW LOOKS LIKE TODAY, AND THAT IS WHAT THAT VIEW WILL LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE. 
          WE'LL TAKE A QUICK LEFT DOWN THE STREET, DOWN FAUCET STREET AT THE BEND OF FAUCET STREET, AND YOU CAN SEE THE FOLKS ON THE BRIDGE, UH, BIKING AND WALKING. 
          UH, AND WE'LL TURN LEFT. 
          AND THIS IS ONE PLACE WHERE YOU'LL SEE WHERE WE ARE DEALING VERY PROACTIVELY WITH RESILIENCY ISSUES. 
          WE HAVE BIKE LANES, WE HAVE A LANDSCAPE ZONE, UH, WE HAVE A SIDEWALK. 
          THIS IS COMPLETE STREETS. 
          WE ALSO HAVE A KIND OF FRONT PORCH, UM, THAT RAISES THE FINISHED FLOORS OF THE BUILDINGS THAT WILL ALL BE ACTIVE USES ON THE GRADE GROUND FLOOR, SOME OF IT COMMERCIAL, SOME OF IT, UH, AMENITY SPACE FOR THE RESIDENTS ABOVE. 
          UH, AND, UH, WITH THAT WE GIVE YOU A VERY QUICK SNAPSHOT OF THE PUBLIC REALM, UH, A KEY PART OF THE PUBLIC REALM. 
          AND WE HAVE THE MODEL. 
          WE HAVE THE MODEL. 
          UH, I SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE, UH, LOOKING AT THE MODEL, UH, BEFORE WE, BEFORE WE ALL SAT DOWN. 
          BUT I THINK WHAT'S WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT? TAKE THAT ONE. 
          HOW'S THAT? THAT'S PERFECT. 
          UM, I THINK WHAT AGAIN, WHAT YOU CAN SEE IS THE AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE, THE AMOUNT OF OPEN SPACE, THE CONNECTIVITY THAT WAS A KEY COMPONENT. 
          MAYBE THE KEY COMPONENT OF, UH, ENVISION ALEWIFE, UH, THE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF HOLDINGS, BECAUSE OF THE CONTINUITY OF THE HOLDINGS, WE CAN MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS AND TURN THIS FROM A KIND OF ABSTRACT LIGHT INDUSTRIAL NEIGHBORHOOD LARGELY, UH, INTO A REAL NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, IN CAMBRIDGE. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THE, THE, THE KINDS OF STREETS, THE KINDS OF PUBLIC OPEN SPACE, THE CONNECTIVITY FROM NORTH TO SOUTH, UH, THE KIND OF, UH, CONNECTIVITY, UH, EAST TO WEST, AND, UM, THE PLANNING LOGIC THAT HAS BEEN A PART OF THIS WITH ALL OF THE BENEFIT OF INPUT FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE SITTING ON THAT SIDE OF THE ROOM. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UH, THERE'S A LOT TO ABSORB HERE, SO UNDERSTAND, UH, UH, THE LENGTH OF THE PRESENTATION. 
          UM, SO AT THIS POINT, UH, IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING. 
          OBVIOUSLY, WE WILL TAKE, UH, PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          UM, IT'LL BE A LITTLE UNUSUAL TONIGHT BECAUSE WE HAVE, WE'RE HYBRID, SO THERE'S SOME PEOPLE POTENTIALLY HERE IN THE ROOM BE BEHIND ME. 
          I CAN'T SEE. 
          UM, BUT ALSO ONLINE, UH, AND, UH, ALSO FOR PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS, YOU SHOULD KNOW, UM, BEFORE WE DELIBERATE, WE WILL ALSO HEAR FROM CITY STAFF. 
          THERE'S BEEN SOME REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT ALL THE WORK THEY HAVE DONE. 
          WE'RE GONNA HEAR FROM THEM DIRECTLY, UH, UM, ABOUT THEIR PARTICULAR INPUT AND THEIR, THEIR VIEW OF WHAT'S BEFORE US TONIGHT. 
          SO, UH, WE'LL HAVE THAT ADVANTAGE AS WELL. 
          SO WITH THAT, UH, I'LL TURN IT OVER, UH, TO, UM, TO JEFF. 
          UH, SO, UM, ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISH TO SPEAK, UH, SHOULD NOW CLICK THE BUTTON THAT SAYS RAISE HAND. 
          IF YOU'RE CALLING IN BY PHONE, YOU CAN RAISE YOUR HAND BY PRESSING STAR NINE. 
          AS OF 5:00 PM YESTERDAY, THE BOARD HAD RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMENTS ON THIS CASE FROM MATTHEW DUFORE, FROM AUDREY ANN KARD, PJ SUMMERS, IAN, NOW NOWLAND AND MICHAEL GRO. 
          WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVED AFTER 
          [01:10:01]
5:00 PM YESTERDAY WILL BE ENTERED INTO THE RECORD. 
          SO I'LL NOW ASK STAFF TO, UH, ORGANIZE THE PUBLIC COMMENT. 
          THANK YOU, TOM. 
          THIS IS, UH, JEFF ROBERTS AGAIN. 
          SO I'LL, UM, I'LL NOTE, SO WE, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY SIGN-INS, UH, IN THE ROOM, SO I'LL JUST, WE'LL, WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE ZOOM FIRST AND WE'LL GO THROUGH THE HANDS. 
          AND IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK YOU, YOU CAN STILL SIGN UP OR, OR WE'LL JUST MAKE SURE WE GET EVERYONE BEFORE, BEFORE WE CLOSE OFF. 
          BUT THERE'S A SIGN IN SHEET, IT'S NEAR THE DOOR, UH, ON THE INSIDE. 
          UM, SO I'LL GO TO THE ZOOM FIRST, AND I'LL START WITH DANISH MAHMUD, WHO IS FOLLOWED BY JOHN CHUN. 
          UM, WHEN YOU SPEAK, I'LL ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK. 
          YOU CAN BEGIN, BEGIN BY UNMUTING YOURSELF AND SAYING YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS ISH UD YOU NINE MOVEMENT STREET. 
          AND I WOULD LIKE TO RAISE A FEW POINTS AND REQUEST REGARDING THIS DEVELOPMENT PLAN. 
          FIRST IS REGARDING BUILDING HEIGHTS. 
          PROPOSED PLAN WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY BLOCK US FROM BIKE TO OUR HOME AT THE EDGE OF LUMAN STREET. 
          WERE DURING THE EFFECT. 
          THIS IS AN AREA WHICH TENDS TO BE OVERLOOKED AND IS ALSO ENVELOPE BY THIS DEVELOPMENT DIRECTLY ADDITION TO THREE SIDES TOWARDS THE NORTH, SOUTH, AND EAST. 
          SO THEREFORE, WE WOULD APPRECIATE IF THE PLANNING BOARD AND HEALTHY CAN REVIEW AND REVISE THE BUILDING HEIGHT FOR THOSE BUILDINGS NEARBY OUR HOMES. 
          THREE WOULD BE BUILDING C FIVE AND C SIX AS SPECIFIED ON THE PRESENTATION AND PLAN DOCUMENTS. 
          IN PARTICULAR, WE REQUEST THAT BUILDING C FIVE AND C SIX HAVE A BUILDING HEIGHT THAT'S LIMITED TO AROUND THREE FEET, WHICH WOULD BE SIMILAR TO OTHER SURROUNDING BUILDINGS AND WOULD PREVENT CASTING A SHADOW OVER OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          ANOTHER POINT I WANT TO CONVEY IS OUR INTEREST IN MORE CLARITY ON THE CITY'S PLAN FOR THE DPW SITE THAT IS BORDERING THE WEST SIDE OF THIS PROJECT, ALSO NEAR LOMIS STREET AND FAUCET STREET, AND WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST FOR MORE DEVELOPMENT, UH, PLANS FOR NOISE MITIGATION. 
          IN THEORY, WITH REGARDS TO NOISE CONCERNS IN GENERAL, WE ASK THAT CONSTRUCTION BE CONDUCTED DURING THE DAYTIME AND NOT IN HEIGHT TO US TO NOT DISTURB REDNESS. 
          WE'RE ALREADY EXPOSED TO SIGNIFICANT NOISE DURING THE NIGHTTIME FROM CONSTRUCTION ONGOING AT, UH, THE 50 MOONEY STREET LOT, AND WOULD APPRECIATE IF CONSTRUCTION CAN BE LIMITED TO OFFICE HOURS. 
          ON THE LASTLY, REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BRIDGE, LIKE OTHER RESIDENTS, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS BRIDGE BE DELIVERED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. 
          AND WE ALSO HAVE A CLEAR TIMELINE SPECIFIED BY HUB KEY REGARDLESS OF, UH, PROGRESS SO FAR FROM BPA. 
          AS YOU ALL KNOW, THIS IS A POINT THAT VIRTUALLY THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY STANDS FIRMLY BEHIND, AND WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST FOR COMPLETION OF THE BRIDGE, IDEALLY WITHIN PHASE ONE OF THE PROJECT. 
          TO SUMMARIZE, I'M REQUESTING LOWER BUILDING HEIGHTS, ORDERING THE EXISTING RESIDENTIAL SPACE AT LOOMIS STREET, AND SPECIFICALLY LIMITING BUILDING C FIVE AND C SIX TO AROUND 30 TO 40 PIPE, AND REQUESTING SOME CLARITY ON PLAN FOR THE DPW SITE, AIR 67 SMITH PLACE, AND REQUESTING FOR A FASTER TIMELINE FOR BUILDING THE BRIDGE AND HAVING CLEAR MILESTONES, ENSURING THE BRIDGE IS PRIORITIZED OVER THE . 
          I HOPE THAT THIS CAN BE CLEANLY IMPLEMENTED AS PART OF THE PLAN FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          AND I HAVE HAD SOME PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSIONS WITH RYLAND AS WELL, AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT WE PUT INTO THIS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THE NEXT SPEAKER IS JOHN CHUN, WHO'S FOLLOWED BY ERIC GREENBAUM. 
          AND YOU CAN BEGIN WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS IF, IF YOU'RE SPEAKING, WE CAN'T HEAR YOU CURRENTLY. 
          UM, JOHN CHUN, I'LL JUST GIVE YOU A SECOND IF YOU WANT TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOUR MICROPHONE IS ON, OR IF YOU'RE, THERE'S NOTHING COVERING IT OR IT'S TURNED ON ON YOUR COMPUTER. 
          HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? YES. 
          OH, CAN YOU, SORRY ABOUT THAT. 
          YEAH, MY MICROPHONE WAS SET TO SOME DIFFERENT DEVICE HERE. 
          YES. 
          MY NAME IS JOHN CHUN. 
          I'M, UH, FROM 48 LUMA STREET. 
          I'M A DIRECT ABUTTER TO THE PROPOSED DPW LOT AT THE END OF, UH, SMITH PLACE. 
          AND, UH, I HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED MY, UH, LETTER BY EMAIL, SO I'M GONNA MAKE MY COMMENT SHORT. 
          I APPRECIATE THE, UH, THE SLIDES THAT THE, UH, HEALTH PICK, UM, HAD PROVIDED PREVIOUSLY. 
          I ENJOYED, UH, FLIPPING THROUGH AND LOOKING AT THE DESIGN AND THE PLAN, AND I REALLY, UM, UM, APPRECIATED 
          [01:15:01]
THE, UH, LOTS OF, UH, GREEN SPACE AND ALSO MANY EFFORTS THAT THE HEALTH PICK HAS PUT INTO PLACE, UM, TO MAKE THIS, UH, COMMUNITY BETTER. 
          I HAVEN'T SEEN VARIOUS DIFFERENT RENDERINGS OF THE PLAN OVER THE YEARS, UM, BUT, UM, AND SO FAR THIS ONE REALLY STANDS OUT AS, UH, ONE THAT I LIKE THE MOST. 
          UM, ESPECIALLY THE BRIDGE DESIGN, IF I MAY HAVE A ONE WISH. 
          UH, MAYBE THE, THE, THE DRAWINGS WERE FANTASTIC, BUT THE ANIMATION THAT YOU JUST SHOWED WAS, UH, EVEN BETTER. 
          UM, MAYBE, UH, IF YOU CAN ALSO HAVE AN ANIMATION OF A BRIDGE CROSSING NEXT TIME, I THINK THAT MIGHT BE ALSO EXCITING AS WELL, JUST TO GET SOME, UH, FEEL FOR HOW THAT'S GONNA BE LIKE. 
          UM, AND, UM, I ALSO APPRECIATE THE, UM, THE TRUST THAT THAT, UH, HEALTH PICK HAS BUILT OVER THE YEARS, UH, WITH, UM, THE NEIGHBORHOODS HERE, ESPECIALLY THROUGH, UH, ANTHONY AND, UH, JIM. 
          AND THEN WE LOOK FORWARD TO, UH, REALLY SEEING THIS DEVELOPMENT COMING INTO FRUITION AND THEN ENJOYING THE, ALL THE BENEFITS, UH, THE PROMISE, THE BENEFITS OF, UM, OF, UM, HOW THE DEVELOPMENT IS GONNA EVOLVE INTO. 
          UM, SO, UH, AGAIN, I WANNA SEND MY APPRECIATION FOR THE ENGAGEMENT AND THE OUTREACH THAT HEALTH PEAK HAS PROVIDED OVER THE YEARS, UM, AND THE TRUST BUILDING. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          THANK YOU, JOHN. 
          THE NEXT SPEAKER IS ERIC GREENBAUM, WHO'S FOLLOWED BY SIMON GOROFF. 
          I, HI, GOOD EVENING PLANNING BOARD AND STAFF. 
          AND HELLO HEALTH PEAK TEAM. 
          I AM ERIC GREENBAUM OF 98 MONTGOMERY STREET IN NORTH CAMBRIDGE. 
          UM, AND FOR A QUICK BACKGROUND, I SERVED ON THE ALEWIFE ZONING WORKING GROUP THAT REZONED THE LAND. 
          I WAS ALSO ON THE ENVISIONED ALEWIFE WORKING GROUP, WHICH WAS FORMED TO DEAL WITH, UH, KIND OF AN UNSTRUCTURED DEVELOPMENT BOOM IN THE AREA. 
          I ALSO MET WEEKLY WITH IQ HQ THROUGHOUT THEIR PERMITTING PROCESS. 
          SO I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH DEVELOPMENT HERE, AND I'VE LIVED IN NORTH CAMBRIDGE FOR 28 YEARS AND IN CAMBRIDGE MY WHOLE LIFE. 
          UM, WELL, ANTHONY IS RARELY WRONG, SO YES, I AM POSSESSED. 
          UH, AND TONIGHT I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE NEW STOP, UH, AT THE CAMBRIDGE QUADRANGLE, WHICH IS WHAT I'M CALLING IT, UH, PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF THE REDUCTIONS IN PARKING THAT HAVE BEEN MENTIONED. 
          SO ESSENTIALLY, A NEW CITY IS BEING BUILT, UM, AND ADDING A RAIL STOP HERE WILL ADD SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE DEVELOPMENT'S VALUE, UH, PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS. 
          PLEASE GOOGLE THIS WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE. 
          HOW MUCH DOES A RAIL STOP ADD TO THE VALUE OF REAL ESTATE? THE ANSWER, I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU, GIVE IT AWAY, IS A RAILS STOP, ADDS ABOUT FOUR TO 24% TO THE VALUE OF HOMES AND ABOUT 42%, OR UP TO 42% FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES. 
          AND I PUT THE LINK IN MY LETTER, WHICH I SENT, UH, THIS EVENING, UH, CONSERVATIVELY, LET'S SAY IT'S 5% VALUE ADD, THAT'S ABOUT $200 MILLION ON A $4 BILLION DEVELOPMENT. 
          UH, THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, UH, AND, UH, UH, THAT'S, YOU KNOW, ENOUGH TO SH TO FUND A RAIL STOP, UH, ADDING A RAIL STOP TO A PEDESTRIAN BIKE BRIDGE SEVERAL TIMES OVER. 
          AND I, I SHARED THIS WITH, UH, WITH HEALTH PEAK AT TWO MEETINGS, THE MEPA MEETING, AND THE A WIFE ZONING WORKING GROUP MEETING, WHICH I APPRECIATE THEIR HOSTING, UH, AND THEIR CFO RESPONDED WITH THREE WORDS, YOU ARE NOT WRONG. 
          UH, IT'S CLEARLY A FINANCIAL BENEFIT TO HEALTH PEAK AND WOULD NOT QUALIFY AS COMMUNITY BENEFIT IN THE NORMAL SENSE. 
          OF COURSE, IT'S GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY TOO. 
          UM, AND I REALLY APPRECIATE HEALTH PEAK'S WORK ON THIS. 
          UH, AND, UH, THE, THE REAL QUESTION IS, UH, IS IT NEEDED? UM, AND I THINK THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES. 
          UH, THE STRETCH OF ROADWAY HERE, UH, HAS TWO OF THE WORST, UH, TRAFFIC INCIDENCES OF THE TOP FIVE IN THE STATE PER MASS. 
          DOT. 
          AND I SHARED THE LINK TO THAT IN MY LETTER TONIGHT. 
          AND ALSO, AN HDR STUDY FOR CAMBRIDGE SAID THAT A RAIL STOP WAS JUSTIFIED IN THE QUADRANGLE IN 2015. 
          AND I SHARED THAT STUDY IN MY LETTER. 
          AND PER HISTORICAL RESEARCH, THERE ARE ONCE FIVE STOPS BETWEEN BELMONT AND PORTER. 
          UM, AND THAT'S NO LONGER THE CASE, BUT IT'S TIME TO PUT THEM BACK. 
          UM, A BIG QUESTION ALWAYS COMES UP IS, WILL MBTA ALLOW NEW RAIL STOPS? AND THE EVIDENCE IS YES, THE WORCESTER LINE HAS TWO NEW STOPS AT BOSTON LANDING IN FENWAY, AND A THIRD SLATED FOR WEST STATION. 
          THE TWO NEW STOPS WERE PRIVATELY FUNDED BY DEVELOPERS. 
          AND SO I URGED THE PLANNING BOARD, UH, IN CAMBRIDGE TO FOCUS ON A RAIL STOP, WHICH IMPACTS BOTH HOUSING AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, BUILD THE RAIL STOP, SO COMMUTING PATTERNS GROW AROUND IT, GET PEOPLE OUT OF CARS TO FIX THE TRAFFIC THAT PLAGUES THE AREA, AND PROVIDE BETTER ACCESS TO HOUSING BEYOND CAMBRIDGE PEDESTRIAN BIKE BRIDGE IS HALF OF A RAIL STOP. 
          I SUPPORT THIS PROJECT AND HOPE CAMBRIDGE WILL NUDGE THE RAIL STOP INTO EXISTENCE WITH HEALTH PEAKS FINANCIAL SUPPORT, WHICH IS VERY MUCH IN THEIR INTERESTS. 
          THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UH, THE NEXT SPEAKER IS SIMON GOOV, AND THEN I'LL GO TO, UH, MATTHEW DUFOUR, WHO'S, WHO'S HERE IN THE ROOM. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, UH, HEALTH BIG TEAM, 
          [01:20:01]
AND, UH, MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO ARE SO ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THIS PROCESS. 
          UM, MY NAME IS SIMON GOOV. 
          I'M, UM, A RESIDENT AT F UH, 51 OMI STREET. 
          UM, DANISH AND MYSELF ARE THE NEIGHBORS AND PART OF THE, UH, RESIDENCES AT OMI STREET, UH, CONDOMS, UM, WHICH IS LIKE DANISH SAID, IS, UH, BASICALLY SURROUNDED BY THE NEW DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO I DO WANT TO, YOU KNOW, SECOND DAN NICHE'S CONCERNS ABOUT THE HEIGHT OF THE NEWLY PROPOSED, UH, PROPERTIES, C FIVE AND C SIX, AND ALSO, UM, WE'D LIKE TO HAVE MORE CLARITY ON THE PROPOSED DPW SITE AS FAR AS THE HEIGHT, THE, UM, EXTENT OF THE OPERATIONS AS IF WHAT, WHAT'S GONNA BASICALLY HAPPEN THERE, YOU KNOW, WILL IT HOUSE HEAVY MACHINERY SIMILAR TO THE MOONEY STREET SITE? YOU KNOW, WILL IT BE 24 7 OPERATIONS, UH, CONSIDERING THE PROXIMITY TO OUR, UH, PROPERTIES AND, UH, THE POTENTIAL FOR NOISE EXPOSURE, UM, THAT WE'RE FACING. 
          AND MY OTHER CONCERN HAS TO DO WITH THE PROPOSED OMI STREET CONNECTION. 
          UM, I A HUNDRED PERCENT AGREE THAT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY AND, UH, EXCITING, UM, TO HAVE A CONNECTION TO THE LARGER DEVELOPMENT, UH, TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS ALL THE OPEN SPACES AND THE RETAIL SPACE PROPOSED. 
          UM, MY CONCERN IS, UH, THE STATE OF THE ROAD THAT, UM, THE STRETCH OF THE LUMMI STREET, UH, IN FRONT OF OUR CONDOMINIUMS IS CURRENTLY IN, AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE, UH, PEDESTRIANS AND THE BIKERS WHO WILL BE USING THAT CONNECTION TO, UM, MOVE FROM THE NEW DEVELOPMENT TO WEST TO TOWARDS BELMONT. 
          YOU KNOW, UM, BECAUSE AT TIMES AFTER THE RAIN, UM, IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE IN THE WINTER WHEN IT SNOWS AND IT FREEZES OVER, UM, IT BECOMES A SHEET OF ICE. 
          UH, IT'S, IT'S ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO WALK ON IT AT TIMES. 
          AND WE'VE HAVEN'T HAD MUCH SUCCESS WITH THE CITY, UM, ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE OF THIS STRETCH OF ROAD, UM, THIS BEING OBVIOUSLY PRIVATE PROPERTY. 
          HOWEVER, IF THERE IS, YOU KNOW, A PROPOSED CONNECTION AND THE PUBLIC WILL BE USING THIS ROAD, UM, FOR CONNECTION, WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND AND, UH, HAVE A PLAN ON HOW THE STREET WILL BE MAINTAINED, REPAIRED, AND MANAGED AND SO FORTH. 
          UM, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND, AND NEXT IS MATTHEW DUFOUR. 
          YOU, YOU'RE AT THE RIGHT SPOT. 
          YOU CAN JUST PUSH THE BUTTON TO MAKE SURE THE GREEN LIGHT IS ON WHEN YOU SPEAK. 
          HELLO. 
          ALRIGHT, GOOD EVENING. 
          UH, I'M MATTHEW THREE, FOUR. 
          MY WIFE AUDREY, AND I LIVE AT THREE ONE WHEELY STREET, UNIT 3 0 2. 
          UH, IT'S THE FOUR STORY BUILDING. 
          IT'S, UH, THE FOUR STORY CONDO BUILDING DIRECTLY EAST OF THE PROPOSED P THREE PARKING GARAGE. 
          UH, I'VE ALREADY SUBMITTED MY COMMENTS VIA EMAIL, SO I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF. 
          OUR, OUR UNIT IS ON THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF OUR BUILDING TODAY. 
          OUR VIEW TO THE WEST IS MOSTLY OPEN SKY WITH JUST ONE, JUST A ONE STORY BUILDING AND A ONE STORY PARKING GARAGE BELOW ON IN THE AFTERNOON. 
          AND, AND EVENING, OUR DIRECTION LIGHT COMES THROUGH OUR WEST FACING WINDOWS. 
          THE PLANNED P THREE PARKING GARAGE WOULD BE DIRECTLY WEST OF US, ONLY 34 FEET FROM OUR WINDOWS. 
          ALL OF ITS PARKING LEVELS, UH, WOULD BE ABOVE GROUND, AND IT WOULD BE NEARLY TWICE THE HEIGHT OF OUR BUILDING. 
          WE EXPECT THAT THE BUILDING THAT TALL DIRECTLY WEST OF US WOULD BLOCK MOST OF OUR SUNLIGHT. 
          THE APPLICANT'S OWN SHADOW MAPS SUPPORT THAT CONCERN, UM, IN THEIR MAPS AT 3:00 PM UNDER EXISTING CONDITIONS, OUR BUILDING IS, IS SHOWN WITHOUT SHADOW, BUT UNDER THE PROPOSED PLAN, IT'S IN P THREE'S SHADOW, AND THE STUDY STOPS AT 3:00 PM SO WE'RE ASKING THE BOARD TO REQUIRE, AS PART OF DESIGN REVIEW, A SHADOW STUDY OF P THREE'S, IMPACT OF THE ON THE HOMES AT 31 WHEELER STREET FROM MID-AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNSET. 
          IF THE IMPACT IS, IS SIGNIFICANT, WE'D ASK THE BOARD TO CONSIDER FEWER ABOVE GROUND PARKING LEVELS OR PUTTING SOME OF THE PARKING UNDERGROUND NEARBY DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENTS LIKE OURS. 
          THE LOWER THE AT MARK, THEY ALREADY USE BELOW, UH, BELOW GRADE PARKING. 
          UH, THAT IS, THAT IS ALL FOR ME. 
          I APPRECIATE YOUR INVESTMENT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MR. JAFAR. 
          SO, UH, I'LL GO BACK TO THE, I'LL 
          [01:25:01]
JUST NOTE THAT THAT'S THE END OF THE SPEAKERS WHO HAVE RAISED THEIR HANDS AND WHO HAVE SIGNED UP ON THE LIST. 
          SO I'LL JUST TAKE A SECOND IN CASE THERE'S ANYBODY WHO'S STILL LOOKING FOR THE RAISE HAND BUTTON ON ZOOM, OR ANYBODY IN THE ROOM THAT, THAT WANTS TO SPEAK AND WANTS TO RAISE YOUR HAND. 
          I'LL JUST ALLOW A FEW SECONDS. 
          OKAY. 
          I'M NOT SEEING ANY HANDS GO UP EITHER HERE OR THERE, SO I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO THE CHAIR. 
          THANK YOU, JEFF. 
          UM, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, UM, WE'LL MOVE AT THIS POINT, UH, TO, UH, ASK THAT CDD STAFF, UH, PROVIDE SOME COMMENT ON THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, UM, AND, UH, RESPONSES TO SOME OF THE ISSUES RAISED, UH, PRIOR TO THE, PRIOR TO THE HEARING. 
          SO, UM, HOPE THEY'RE PREPARED TO DO THAT. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU CHAIR. 
          UM, MELISSA PETERS, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. 
          UH, REALLY EXCITED TO BE AT THIS MOMENT TONIGHT. 
          THIS IS A, A MAJOR MILESTONE. 
          UM, I WILL PASS IT OFF TO STAFF TO SPEAK TO, UH, SPECIFIC COMMENTS THAT WE HEARD FROM THE PLANNING BOARD AND HOW STAFF HAVE WORKED WITH HEALTH PEAK TO ADDRESS THOSE COMMENTS. 
          UH, BUT WANTED TO KINDA PROVIDE BROADER COMMENTS JUST ABOUT, UM, KIND OF WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS, UM, IN TERMS OF PLANNING FOR THIS REALLY SIGNIFICANT AREA OF THE CITY. 
          AND SO, AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, A L LIFE, UM, IS, IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT AREA OF THE CITY FOR REDEVELOPMENT. 
          UM, WHEN I, IT'S, UH, KIND OF ON A PERSONALLY MEANINGFUL TO ME BECAUSE MY FIRST PROJECT WAS WORKING ON ENVISION CAMBRIDGE AND THE A L LIFE DISTRICT PLAN IN 2015, UM, AND TALKING WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT OUR SHARED VISION IS FOR THE FUTURE. 
          UM, AND REALLY EXCITED TO SEE, UM, THOSE PRINCIPLES AND DEVELOPMENT OUT OUTCOMES REPRESENTED IN THIS PROPOSAL TODAY. 
          SO, HOW DO WE TRANSFORM THIS AREA, UM, AS A MIXED USE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT THAT BALANCES ECONOMIC GROWTH, WHICH MUCH NEEDED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT TO HELP ADDRESS OUR HOUSING CRISIS. 
          UM, AND NOT ONLY DOES IT DO THAT, IT CREATES A NETWORK OF, UH, CONNECTED OPEN SPACE, PROVIDES NEW, UH, STREET NETWORK, UM, IT, UH, IS RESPONSIVE TO, UM, AND RESILIENT TO FUTURE CLIMATE CHANGE AND FLOODING RISK, AND REALLY IS GONNA TRANSFORM THIS AREA AS A NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, IN CAMBRIDGE THAT IS CONNECTED, RESILIENT, AND INCLUSIVE TO WELCOME MORE PEOPLE. 
          SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT, UM, THE OPPORTUNITY THAT THIS PROVIDES. 
          UM, IT ALSO, UH, DELIVERS REALLY SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC BENEFITS FOR THE CITY. 
          UH, ONE OF NOTE IS THE OVER ONE ACRE OF SPACE OF, UH, FOR THE DPW MUNICIPAL YARD, UM, AS WELL AS THE MUCH ANTICIPATED AND AND DESIRED BIKE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE CONNECTING THE QUAD TO THE TRIANGLE. 
          UM, AS, UM, MR. RAFFERTY STATED EARLIER, UM, WE'VE BEEN VERY POSITIVE WITH OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH THE MBTA. 
          UH, THE SECRETARY GENERAL MANAGER SUBMITTED A LETTER INDICATING THEIR FULL COMMITMENT FOR THE BIKE PED BRIDGE. 
          UM, AS HE STATED, THEY, THEY DO WANNA DO SOME ADDITIONAL STUDY, WHICH WOULD ALL END UP IN THE ULTIMATE OUTCOME, WHICH WOULD BE BOTH THE BIKE PED BRIDGE, AND A COMMUTER RAIL URBAN RAIL STATION AT THAT LOCATION. 
          UM, AND THAT REALLY IS, UM, KIND OF THE, UH, INCRE, UH, INSTRUMENTAL TO CREATING THE VISION THAT THE COMMUNITY HAD. 
          SO, REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THAT THIS FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN ALIGNS WITH THE OUTCOMES FROM ENVISION CAMBRIDGE AND THE OI DISTRICT PLAN. 
          UM, THE FOLLOW UP REZONING WORKING GROUP, UM, YOU KNOW, STAFF ACROSS MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS HAVE WORKED WITH HEALTH PEAK. 
          HEALTH PEAK HAS CONTINUED, UM, TO REFINE AND IMPROVE THE PLAN, LISTEN TO COMMENTS, UM, PLANNING BOARD. 
          UM, AND WE'RE REALLY EXCITED THAT WE'RE AT THIS STAGE TONIGHT, UM, TO MOVE THIS FORWARD AND RECOGNIZE THAT ADDITIONAL, UH, SITE SPECIFIC DESIGN CHANGES WILL CONTINUE TO EVOLVE AND HAPPEN, UM, AT FURTHER STAGES. 
          UM, SO I WILL PASS IT OVER TO I BELIEVE DANIEL WHO MIGHT BE SPEAKING ON THE URBAN DESIGN TONIGHT. 
          THANK YOU, MELISSA. 
          UH, I'M DANIEL MASS PLAY. 
          I AM THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DESIGN FOR CDD. 
          UH, THIS WAS GONNA BE ERIC THOR COLSON'S REMARKS, AND HE DEFINITELY DESERVED THE FLOOR. 
          HE'S WORKED TIRELESSLY ON THIS PROPOSAL, UH, AS JEFF MENTIONED IN THE INTRO, OH, THERE HE IS. 
          HIS, UH, HIS ARRIVAL WAS IMMINENT, SO WE KNEW HE WAS GONNA BE, UH, ON ANY MOMENT. 
          BUT, UH, I HAVE ERIC'S WORDS. 
          SO, ERIC, WHILE YOU'RE GETTING SETTLED, I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND JUST KEEP THIS THING MOVING. 
          I'M GOING TO READ ERIC'S WORDS AND, 
          [01:30:01]
UH, WE'LL BE ON OUR WAY. 
          SO, SO THANK YOU AGAIN, MELISSA. 
          THIS FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IS GOING TO FULFILL THE CITY'S LONGSTANDING VISION TO TRANSFORM THE QUADRANGLE INTO A FULLY FUNCTIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD WITH RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL DENSITY CONNECTIVITY, NEW STREETS AND PARKS. 
          FIRST FLOOR ACTIVE USES A BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE, AND THE DPW SITE. 
          IT SETS OUT A GREAT PATH FORWARD TO THE MORE DETAILED DESIGN WORK OF INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS AND OPEN SPACES. 
          THE URBAN DESIGN STAFF MEMO TO THE PLANNING BOARD OUTLINES SOME MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HOW THE NEXT PHASE OF REVIEW WILL OCCUR, WHICH I'LL SUMMARIZE AS EMILY EXPLAINED IN THE INTRODUCTION TO THE ITEM. 
          THIS PROJECT IS NOW FINISHING UP THE SPECIAL PERMIT STAGE OF REVIEW, WHICH, UH, SETS THE HIGHER LEVEL SITE DESIGN ELEMENTS. 
          AND WHAT WILL FOLLOW IS A MUCH MORE DETAILED REVIEW OF SPECIFIC SITES AND BUILDINGS AS PART OF THE DESIGN REVIEW STAGE, WHICH WILL ALSO BE CONDUCTED HERE WITH THE PLANNING BOARD. 
          WE HAVE ALSO INCLUDED IN URBAN DESIGN APPENDIX WITH THE MEMO. 
          THIS DOCUMENT IS INTENDED TO TAKE ALL OF THE CITYWIDE AND AREA PLANNING THINKING THE CITY HAS DONE TO DATE FROM ENVISION ALEWIFE. 
          AS MELISSA MENTIONED, UH, THE CITY'S OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION PLAN UPDATE TO THE CITYWIDE AND MULTIFAMILY DESIGN GUIDELINES, AND CENTRALIZE MUCH OF THIS THINKING IN ONE PLACE TO MAKE IT EASIER TO GUIDE DESIGNERS, STAFF, AND THE PLANNING BOARD. 
          IN THINKING THROUGH SOME OF THE NITTY GRITTY DETAILS OF PARTICULAR ISSUES AROUND USES CONNECTIVITY AND BUILDING FORM DURING DESIGN REVIEW AND THROUGHOUT DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT, THE UD APPENDIX WILL BE ATTACHED TO THE SPECIAL PERMIT DECISION AS A GUIDING DOCUMENT THAT CAN BE REFERRED TO DURING DESIGN REVIEW. 
          IT IS NOT NECESSARILY MEANT TO BE PRESCRIPTIVE AND CAN CONTINUE TO ADAPT AND EVOLVE OVER TIME AS THE PROJECT WILL AND AS THE QUADRANGLE WILL. 
          THE URBAN DESIGN STAFF MEMO MAINLY FOCUSES ON REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGRAM TUNEUPS AS THE PROJECT MOVES INTO THE DESIGN REVIEW PHASE. 
          I SHOULD NOTE THAT THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN TAKES A BIG LEAP FORWARD BY INCLUDING A LOT OF THE ELEMENTS INTO THE PLAN THAT WE INITIALLY RECOMMENDED. 
          AND WE ARE ASKING THAT THEY JUST CONTINUE TO BE UPDATED, UM, AS THE PROJECT DEVELOPS, SPECIFICALLY, THE MASSING STRATEGY DIAGRAM AND BLOCK DIAGRAM SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE VARIOUS PHASES OF THE PROJECT TO REFLECT THE PROJECT IN ITS CONTEXT AND HOW IT CHANGES BY VIRTUE OF SITES GOING THROUGH DESIGN REVIEW, APPROVAL, AND GETTING CONSTRUCTED. 
          WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE OPEN SPACES, BOTH ENCOURAGING THE PERMITEE TO THINK HOLISTICALLY ABOUT HOW THE OPEN SPACE WILL FIT TOGETHER, AND B, MORE THAN JUST THE SUM OF THEIR PARTS, UH, SIMILAR TO WHAT, UH, MR. JONES PRESENTED SORT OF EARLIER IN THE PRESENTATION, AND HOW SPECIFIC AMENITIES, LIKE ACTIVE RECREATION AMENITIES CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE DISTRICT. 
          AND LASTLY, THERE ARE A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, RELATED TO THINGS LIKE INCLUDING A VISION AND STRATEGY FOR ARTS AND CULTURAL ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE INTEGRATED BOTH INTO BUILDINGS AND PARKS, BUT ALSO THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE DISTRICT, AND THINKING THROUGH ELEMENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMFORT AND SUSTAINABILITY. 
          THE URBAN DESIGN APPENDIX ALSO OFFERS SOME DIFFERENT STRATEGIES, APPROACHES, AND DESIGN TOOLS FOR ADDRESSING SOME OF THE ISSUES IN GREATER DETAIL, WHERE APPROPRIATE, LIKE, UM, THE FRONT PORCHES, FOR INSTANCE. 
          BUT OVERALL, THE FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN SETS THE SCENE FOR SUCCESS. 
          IT'S BEEN A HUGE LIFT BY, UH, ALL THE, THE STAKEHOLDERS TO GET TO THIS POINT, AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE NEXT STEPS IN REALIZING THE PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO, THANK YOU. 
          THANKS. 
          AND, AND I'LL JUST NOTE, UH, THIS IS JEFF TO, UM, WE DO HAVE A LOT OF MATERIAL AND INCLUDING, UH, CD'S MATERIAL AS WELL AS FROM, UH, FROM DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND DPW. 
          SO, WE'LL, WE'LL JUST SORT OF END OUR REMARKS HERE AND, BUT AS ALWAYS, WE'RE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE. 
          THANKS. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JEFF, MELISSA, AND, UM, DANIEL, FOR YOUR INPUT AT THIS POINT. 
          UM, ARE THERE QUESTION WE'LL OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD TO EITHER THE APPLICANTS OR TO STAFF? UM, SO ANYBODY HAVE QUESTIONS THAT STILL REMAIN TO BE ANSWERED? GREAT. 
          UM, TED, WHY DON'T YOU START, UM, WELL, ACTUALLY, I JUST HAVE A, A COUPLE OF MINOR QUESTIONS. 
          UM, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THIS IS FOR STAFF OR IF VHB, IF A RAIL STATION WHERE ULTIMATELY TO BE BUILT THERE, 
          [01:35:01]
WHAT IMPACT DOES THAT HAVE ON THE PARKING THAT'S PLANNED TO BE PROVIDED? I CAN TAKE THAT ONE. 
          UM, THAT'S A FANTASTIC QUESTION. 
          AND PART OF THE REASON WHY WE BUILT MECHANISMS INTO THE ZONING TO REDUCE PARKING, IF UTILIZATION IS SHOWN TO BE LOWER THAN WHAT HAS BEEN BUILT, UM, IN THAT CASE WHERE, YOU KNOW, A RAIL STOP IS BUILT OR THE BRIDGE IS BUILT, UH, FUTURE PARKING WILL BE ACTIVELY REDUCED IN ORDER TO MEET THAT ADJUSTED DEMAND. 
          SO YOU VIEW IT AS, UH, BEING A REDUCTION RATHER THAN A NEED FOR PARKING FOR PEOPLE WHO MIGHT WANNA TAKE THE TRAIN AND PARK THEIR CAR THERE? THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. 
          WE, WE HAVE NOT HEARD THAT, UH, FROM THE MBTA. 
          I KNOW TED, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE OTHER, UM, RAIL STOPS AND IN THE PAST THE T HAS REQUIRED SOME LEVEL OF PARKING. 
          WE HAVE NOT HEARD THAT, UH, FROM THE MBTA AT THIS LOCATION YET, WHICH IS GOOD NEWS. 
          UM, I ALSO DO WANT TO JUST CALL OUT THE, THE, THE NEW, I THINK, EXCITING NEWS IS THE MENTION OF THE URBAN RAIL, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, COMMUTER RAIL HAS HAD CHALLENGES, UM, ADDING STOPS, WHICH SLOW THE LINE DOWN, WHICH MAKE THE LINE LESS ATTRACTIVE, WHERE THAT URBAN RAIL IS A MORE ABBREVIATED QUICKER, UM, USAGE. 
          SO IT DOES PLAY RIGHT INTO OUR VACANCY FORMULA. 
          'CAUSE THE LESS THAT'S USED MORE WE CAN REDUCE PARKING. 
          BUT THE FACT THAT THEY'VE ACTUALLY SAID THE WORDS URBAN RAIL IS PRETTY GOOD NEWS. 
          GREAT. 
          MR. CHAIR, JUST TO FOLLOW UP TO THAT POINT. 
          SURE. 
          UH, IT SHOULD BE NOTED, UH, MR. COHEN, THERE, THERE ARE NO COMMERCIAL PARKING GARAGES WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT, RIGHT? SO THOSE GARAGES COULD NOT OCCUR IN THIS SITE. 
          WHETHER THE T WHO HAS ISSUES WITH THE CURRENT L WIFE GARAGE RESIZES THAT GARAGE AS PART OF THE OVERALL REDEVELOPMENT. 
          I SUSPECT IT'S LIKELY THEY MIGHT, BUT WHATEVER ADDITIONAL PARKING IS RELATED TO T ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COMMUTER RAIL ON T PROPERTY. 
          NOT ON THIS, NOT WITHIN THIS DEVELOPMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, WITH REGARD TO TRAFFIC AND, UH, THE, THE TRANSPORTATION, I MEAN, MAYBE I MISHEARD OR MISUNDERSTAND WHAT YOU, YOU SAID, UH, IS THERE A CONNECTION TO BLANCHARD ROAD FROM WITHIN THE, THE PROJECT NO, MULTIUSE PATH? WELL, IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. 
          WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR A MULTI-USE PATH ALONG THE RAIL LINE, WHICH INVOLVES US GETTING SOME LAND RIGHTS FROM THE MBTA. 
          UH, WE'VE PRIORITIZED THE BRIDGE. 
          THEY SET IN NOT SO COMPLICATED WORDS. 
          FOCUS ON  THE BRIDGE LAND RIGHTS FIRST, AND THEN COME BACK AND TALK TO US. 
          UH, THE OTHER CONNECTION WOULD JUST BE THE BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION TO LOOMIS, BUT THAT REALLY, IT'S NOT THE MOST DIRECT WAY TO GET, UH, TO BLANCHARD. 
          WE DO, WE DO MAKE COMMITMENTS TO, UH, CONTINUE TO EXPLORE THE MULTI-USE PATH, UH, WHICH WE ACTUALLY THINK COULD WORK. 
          THE TEE'S JUST DELICATE ABOUT COMMITTING LAND RIGHTS, AS YOU KNOW. 
          SO WE'RE IN A, WE'RE PRIORITIZING THE, THE BRIDGE LOCATION. 
          OKAY. 
          I, I WASN'T SURE I UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE STATEMENT WAS, AND I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT. 
          UH, WITH REGARD TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FACILITIES, UM, WOULD ANY OF THE BUILDINGS, AS YOU ENVISION THEM NOW, UH, BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE A MOVIE THEATER? OKAY. 
          I DUNNO. 
          RYLAND DOESN'T GET ANY OF MY MOVIE REFERENCES, TED. 
          'CAUSE I GUESS I'M, I'VE AGED MYSELF DURING THIS PROCESS. 
          BUT RYLAND, WHAT'S YOUR, UH, WHAT'S YOUR EXCITEMENT LEVEL OF MOVIE THEATER? LET'S SEE IF HE CAN EARN HIS MONEY HERE. 
          , WE'LL LOOK INTO THAT. 
          I THINK THERE'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR EARLY ACTIVATION. 
          UM, WE UNDERSTAND THAT FROM ANTHONY'S HISTORICAL REFERENCES AND JIM'S HISTORICAL REFERENCES THAT THE, UM, THE, UH, EVERSOURCE, UM, SUBSTATION THAT WAS RIGHT THERE USED TO BE A MOVIE THEATER DRIVE-IN MOVIE THEATER. 
          WE DO HAVE SOME SPACE ON 1 27 FAUCET, UH, 1 27 SMITH THAT COULD ACT AS A POTENTIAL EARLY ACTIVATION. 
          SO NOT A MOVIE THEATER, BUT HOPEFULLY THAT'S SOMEWHAT CLOSE . 
          UH, WELL, WITH THE, YOU KNOW, MY CONCERN IS WITH THE ABSENCE OF A THEATER IN HARVARD SQUARE. 
          OH, IT SEEMS SHOCKING THAT THE ONLY MOVIE THEATERS IN CAMBRIDGE THAT I'M AWARE OF IS THE BRIDAL AND THE APPLE THEATER AT THE FRESH POND NIGHT. 
          FRESH POND. 
          NO, KENDALL, KENDALL SQUARE ONE. 
          KENDALL. 
          KENDALL, YES. 
          MM-HMM . 
          JIM. 
          BUT WE DO HAVE THE APPLE CINEMA THAT IT'S NOW CALLED NO 
          [01:40:01]
LONGER. 
          FRESH POND IS STILL GOING. 
          YES, NO, I KNOW. 
          AND MAYBE THE TERMINAL ROAD CONNECTION WILL GET PEOPLE OVER THERE MORE EASILY. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, A NASTY QUESTION FOR STAFF. 
          UH, MR. RAFFERTY INDICATED THAT ALL OF THE, UH, COMMENTS IN THE STAFF MEMO, UH, AND CONDITIONS HAD BEEN AGREED TO. 
          WERE THERE ANY THINGS THAT THE CITY AND STAFF WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN AS A CONDITION THAT WAS NOT AGREED TO? DO I TAKE THAT AS A NOTE? YEAH, I CAN. 
          I AM WAITING TO SEE IF ANYONE, UH, GOOD THING THAT NOBODY, UH, VOLUNTEERED. 
          UH, AND NO, WE'VE, YOU KNOW, STAFF ACROSS MULTIPLE DEPARTMENTS, YOU KNOW, AS, AS WE TYPICALLY DO, WE PUT DEVELOPERS THROUGH THE RINGER AND, AND ASK FOR, UM, THE GOLD STANDARD. 
          AND IT'S, IT'S BEEN GREAT TO SEE HEALTH COME TO THE TABLE, UM, AND WE'RE APPROPRIATE PUSHBACK. 
          I THINK ALSO IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THE, UM, THE, THE ECONOMICS OF DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS MOMENT AND, AND WHAT'S FEASIBLE. 
          AND I THINK THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF, UM, A PUD AND BE ABLE TO DO IT PHASED OVER TIME AND BE FLEXIBLE SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO, UM, MEET THE COMMUNITY STANDARDS AND GOALS THAT WE HAVE, UM, THAT ARE BASED IN OUR PLANNING WORK AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND TIMES CHANGE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, OBVIOUSLY I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A CONDITION THAT THE BRIDGE WOULD BE BUILT FIRST THING IN THE WHOLE PROJECT. 
          UH, I UNDERSTAND THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, AND I'D AGREE TO. 
          UM, THOSE ARE ALL MY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW. 
          THANK YOU, TED. 
          UM, UH, WE'RE GOING TO GO VIRTUAL NOW. 
          UH, MARY FLYNN. 
          IT'S GOT HER HAND UP. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, SORRY I CAN'T, UH, BE WITH YOU IN PERSON TONIGHT, BUT, UH, WATCHING THIS REMOTELY HAS BEEN VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE. 
          UM, I JUST WANNA THANK REALLY THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM AND, AND CITY STAFF FOR EFFORT. 
          REALLY JUST INCREDIBLE WORK OVER SO MANY, MANY YEARS. 
          UM, IT'S A VERY COMPLEX PROJECT, BUT I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE, UH, MADE IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER FOR US. 
          BUT, UM, I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. 
          UH, ONE IS IN REGARD TO THE, UM, THE POTENTIAL OF COMMUTER RAIL, UH, OR COMMUTER RAIL STUFF, WHICH WOULD BE TERRIFIC. 
          UM, BUT MY CONCERN IS THAT A PROJECT OF THAT SIZE IS GOING TO DELAY, UH, POTENTIALLY DELAY THE BRIDGE, UM, EVEN FURTHER. 
          I MEAN, I KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT A THREE YEAR PLANNING PROCESS THAT DOESN'T SEEM UNREASONABLE, BUT THEN PARTICULARLY IF THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE IS INTEGRATED, UM, SOMEHOW WITH THE, WITH THE COMMUTER RAIL STOP, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S ISSUES ALWAYS OF FUNDING FOR, FOR THE MBTA, ET CETERA. 
          SO I'M, I'M JUST CURIOUS AS TO, UM, YOU KNOW, SORT OF ANY KIND OF THINKING PEOPLE HAVE AT THIS POINT ABOUT, UH, PRE AND PLAN. 
          UM, WHAT, WHAT WOULD BE THE FALLBACK IF FOR SOME REASON THE BRIDGE IS, IS FURTHER DELAYED? ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES TO, UM, PUT MORE TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT, UM, ACTIVITIES OR PROGRAMS IN PLACE THAT WOULD HELP US DURING THAT PERIOD? SO THAT'S SORT OF ONE BIG AREA, UM, THAT I'D LIKE ADDRESSED. 
          AND THEN SECONDLY, UM, IT SAYS, I KNOW OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE TRYING TO REDUCE THE PARKING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND THAT THAT IS IN LINE WITH WHAT THE BOARD HAS BEEN, UM, THINKING ON THIS, UM, THE STAFF MEMO, THE CDD STAFF MEMO STILL REFERENCES FOUR GARAGES. 
          UM, AND I THINK I ONLY SAW THREE ON THE REVISED PLAN. 
          I THINK THERE USED TO BE ONE UP ALONG CONCORD NEAR, NEAR SMITH PLACE. 
          UM, SO CAN YOU JUST CLARIFY THE NUMBER OF, OF GARAGES AND HOW, UM, IF THERE ARE FOUR, HOW IS THE, UM, THE DECISION GONNA BE MADE IN TERMS OF, UM, WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT SITE IF THE, IF THE GARAGE ISN'T NEEDED? THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS, MARY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          JUST AS PRIVILEGE OF THE CHAIR, THE LETTER FROM THE T HAS BEEN REFERENCED TONIGHT, BOTH BY THE APPLICANT AND BY MELISSA. 
          UM, OBVIOUSLY IT'S BEEN SHARED WITH THOSE OF US WHO ARE MESHED IN THIS, UH, UH, REVIEW AND WE'VE READ IT. 
          UH, BUT IT MIGHT BE GOOD FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF THEM OR ARE LISTENING IN TONIGHT. 
          IF YOU COULD SUMMARIZE THE LETTER, AND BY THE WAY, IT'S, IT'S WRITTEN IN BEAUTIFUL BUREAUCRATIC LANGUAGE, BUT, 
          [01:45:01]
UH, SO YOU COULD, MIGHT BE ABLE TO INTERPRET IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS. 
          AND I WOULD APPRECIATE, UM, AN ATTORNEY'S VIEW OF WHAT, UM, UH, UH, WHAT'S BEING PROMISED IN THE LETTER. 
          JUST A QUICK SUMMARY. 
          AND THEN TO MARY'S QUESTION. 
          THANK YOU, MARY, MR. CHAIR. 
          UH, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE LETTER IS THE FINAL SENTENCE, AND I'LL QUOTE DIRECTLY, A HIGH QUALITY CONNECTION FROM THE AL ALWAY QUAD RANKL OVER THE FITCHBURG FITCHBURG LINE WILL HAPPEN. 
          AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO STRUCTURING AGREEMENTS, ADVANCING MBTA INFRASTRUCTURE STUDIES AND REPORTING BACK TO THE CAMBRIDGE PLANNING BOARD, NO, NO LATER THAN THREE YEARS FROM THE DATE OF FINAL DUD MASTER PLAN APPROVAL. 
          THE LETTER IS FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE T, ALSO THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION TO THE PLANNING BOARD. 
          IT CAME ABOUT AS A RESULT OF LOTS OF ENGAGEMENT WITH CAMBRIDGE'S CITY MANAGER AND MS. PETERS AND HER STAFF. 
          THE LETTER IS, UH, IN MY VIEW, QUITE SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE IN ALL THE YEARS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT BRIDGE, WE'VE NEVER GOT THIS LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT. 
          WHAT THE LETTER DOES SET FORTH TOO, HOWEVER, IS IT OFFERS A RATIONALE AS TO WHY THEY NEED THE THREE YEARS. 
          AND AS MELISSA WAS DESCRIBING, FROM A T TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PERSPECTIVE, THEY DIDN'T WANNA FOREGO THE OPPORTUNITY FOR URBAN RAIL, WHICH THEY CHARACTERIZE AS A DIFFERENT FORM OF COMMUTER RAIL, A MORE A HYBRID PERHAPS BETWEEN A SUBWAY TRANSIT SYSTEM AND COMMUTER RAIL. 
          UH, THEY'RE STUDYING THAT, THAT THERE'S OTHER AREAS IN IN THE SYSTEM WHERE THEY'RE ALSO LOOKING AT THAT. 
          THEY THINK IT WORKS VERY WELL 'CAUSE THE POTENTIAL TO WORK WELL HERE. 
          SO THE QUESTION ABOUT, UH, MARY ASKS, DOES THE, WOULD THE INTRODUCTION OR CONSTRUCTION OF AN URBAN RAIL STOP DELAY THE BRIDGE, THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE? CANDIDLY, I THINK THAT'S PERHAPS A POSSIBILITY, BUT I THINK THE BIG PICTURE THINKING THAT IS NECESSARY HERE FROM A TRANSPORTATION PERSPECTIVE IS REALLY WHAT REQUIRES THAT TO OCCUR. 
          AS I MENTIONED AT THE OUTSET, IN OUR EARLY ENGAGEMENT WITH THE T AND WE WERE ENGAGED FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AGO, WE WERE, WE WERE ADVOCATING FOR A BRIDGE AT THIS LOCATION. 
          WE WERE PUSHING ON THE BRIDGE AND WE WERE MAKING PROGRESS. 
          THE T WENT THROUGH A SIGHTING PROCESS, UH, THAT THEY, THEY CONTACT ALL THE OTHER AGENCIES IN, IN THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AND SEE HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THE LOCATION. 
          WHAT'S THE NAME OF THAT PROCESS CALLED? I'M, IT'S A PD. 
          YEAH, THERE'S A CERTAIN PROCESS. 
          WE WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS. 
          AT NO POINT IN THAT PROCESS DID WE HEAR, OH, YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE THINKING OF URBAN RAIL HERE. 
          SO IT DID SET US BACK A LITTLE WHEN WE WERE TWO YEARS DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE T WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS SEEMED TO BE AN EMERGING PRIORITY AND WE THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS GONNA REALLY SLOW US DOWN. 
          BUT TO THE CREDIT OF THE T AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, TO THE CREDIT OF CITY MANAGEMENT LEADERSHIP, THEY EMBRACE THIS THING. 
          AND AS ERIC AUGH NOTICED, IT WOULD BE A WIN-WIN. 
          IT MIGHT ADD TO THE TIME, BUT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, AN IMPROVED TRANSIT SYSTEM AND A PEDESTRIAN BIKE BRIDGE. 
          AND IF I COULD JUST ADD TO THAT, THE, THE, AND I, I WANT TO THANK, UH, MELISSA PETERS AND THE CITY MANAGER. 
          'CAUSE MY GUESS IS THAT WHEN THIS LETTER FIRST CAME OVER, IT DIDN'T HAVE A THREE YEAR, UM, CONDITION ON IT. 
          JUST IN MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE MBTA AS ATTORNEY RAFFERTY HAS MENTIONED, THAT'S, THAT'S UNPRECEDENTED. 
          MARY, I DON'T, I DON'T THINK THAT THIS INDICATES ANY KIND OF POTENTIAL DELAY. 
          UM, THE T HAD THINGS THAT WERE AT A HIGHER, UH, PAY GRADE THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT REGARDING NOT JUST COMMUTER RAIL, BUT ELECTRIFICATION AND THINGS LIKE THAT. 
          AND EVERY TIME WE WOULD JUMP ON A CALL, THEY WOULD SORT OF DEFER TO THOSE THIRD PARTY EVALUATIONS. 
          THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY'VE SAID, YOU KNOW, WE, WE NEED TO LOOK AT THOSE THINGS WITH RELATION, UH, LAND RIGHTS, BUT WE WILL MAKE A DECISION WITHIN THREE YEARS ONCE WE GET A LOCATION. 
          UM, NAILED DOWN. 
          WE HAVE OTHER, HAVE HAD OTHER CONVERSATIONS WITH THE MBTA ABOUT BLENDING BRIDGE, URBAN RAIL, ET CETERA, WHICH GIVES US SOME CONTROL, UM, OVER THAT. 
          BUT HONESTLY, IF, IF ANYTHING, THIS ACTION, AND WE SAID FROM THE BEGINNING, WE NEEDED, WE WERE ACTUALLY, TED, YOUR ALARM AT THE LAST MEETING WAS INCREDIBLY HELPFUL TO US. 
          'CAUSE WE WERE SAYING TO THE ADMINISTRATION, UM, WE NEED YOU FOR THEM TO LISTEN TO US. 
          EVERYONE THINKS IT'S DEVELOPERS THAT HAVE THEIR EAR, THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM MUNICIPALITIES. 
          SO ALL THAT, UM, ATTENTION AND NOISE GOT THEIR ATTENTION. 
          SO NO, MARY, I THINK IF ANYTHING, IT'S, IT'S THE OPPOSITE. 
          AND WE'VE ALSO CREATED MECHANISMS TO BLEND, UM, BOTH A STOP AND BRIDGE. 
          SO RIGHT NOW IT'S, IT'S ALL, IT'S ALL GOOD NEWS. 
          [01:50:02]
GREAT. 
          I, I WILL SAY IT, IT IS REALLY REMARKABLE HOW FAR IT'S COME AND, AND THE COMMITMENT THAT IS ON THE, THE TABLE SEEMS TO BE, UM, REALLY, UH, THE FIRST OF ITS KIND. 
          I CERTAINLY HAVE SEEN BOTH IN MY TIME ON THE BOARD AS WELL AS MY TIME WORKING FOR THE, FOR THE CITY MANY, MANY YEARS AGO. 
          SO, UM, YEAH, MY THANKS TO TO EVERYBODY WHO DID THAT, UM, AGAIN, I'M JUST, I, I AGREE THAT BOTH ARE ARE WONDERFUL THINGS AND SHOULD HAPPEN. 
          I'M JUST KIND OF WORRIED ABOUT THAT PERIOD WHERE WE'RE GETTING MORE AND MORE BUILD OUT AND IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT LONGER. 
          ALL I'M, I'M JUST SAYING PERHAPS WE COULD CONSIDER, UM, THAT THERE MAY NEED TO BE SOME ADDITIONAL INTERIM TRAFFIC MEASURES AS WE GO FORWARD, DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE TEAM. 
          MM-HMM . 
          ANYWAY, IT'S JUST A THOUGHT. 
          THEN MY OTHER QUESTION WAS ON THE GARAGES. 
          YEP. 
          UH, REAL QUICK, TOUCHING ON THE INTERIM MECHANISMS, WHETHER IT'S A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OR A RAIL STOP THAT INCLUDES A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE. 
          THE MECHANISMS IN THE ZONING STILL GOVERN THE TIMING AND PREVENT FUTURE BUILD OUT BASED ON THAT. 
          SO WHILE THAT IS BEING CONSTRUCTED, IT IS WITHIN HEALTH PEAK'S INTEREST. 
          AND TRULY WE SEE THIS AS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MBTA, UM, TO CONTINUE TO MOVE THAT FORWARD ON A TIMELINE THAT MAKES SENSE. 
          AND IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING THAT THE L WIFE WORKING GROUP HAS WORKED THROUGH. 
          AND THE, UM, ALSO, I WANT TO POINT OUT THE FOUR GARAGES THAT YOU MENTIONED. 
          THERE'S ONE NEXT TO THE CAMBRIDGE HIGHLANDS, ONE ADDITIONALLY AT THE END OF SMITH. 
          THAT'S P ONE AND P TWO, UM, IN THE MOONEY QUAD AREA. 
          THE NEXT IS, NEXT IS 7 25 CONCORD, WHICH IS THE EXISTING MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING. 
          THAT ONE IS CONNECTED TO RESIDENTIAL. 
          SO IT'S PROBABLY THE ONE THAT WAS HARDER TO SEE. 
          IT'S MASKED FROM THE MAIN STREET, SO YOU DON'T SEE THE PARKING. 
          AND THEN THE LAST ONE IS P THE P THREE PARKING GARAGE, WHICH WAS MENTIONED BY ONE OF THE PUBLIC KILOMETERS, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY I THINK HE LEFT. 
          UM, BUT THE MECHANISMS THAT WE INCLUDED IN THE ZONING, UH, TO REDUCE PARKING OVER TIME, THOSE WERE DIRECTLY TO REDUCE PARKING IN THAT PARKING GARAGE. 
          'CAUSE THAT PARKING GARAGE IS THE, PROBABLY THE LAST PARKING GARAGE WE'RE GONNA BUILD. 
          WE'RE LIMITED BY EXISTING IN-PLACE LEASES THAT WE'RE NOT EVEN ABLE TO TOUCH IT TILL 20 20, 20 24. 
          2040, EXCUSE ME. 
          UM, SO THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME FOR ALL THE PTDM MEASURES THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON, ALL THE EARLY REDUCTIONS IN PARKING AND TRAFFIC DEMAND THAT SELMA TALKED ABOUT TO TAKE INTO EFFECT, SO WE CAN ENDEAVOR TO REDUCE THE SIZE OF THAT PARKING GARAGE. 
          WELL, THAT'S, THAT'S REALLY, REALLY GOOD NEWS, UM, FOR THOSE ABUTTERS, UM, AND FOR THE CITY AS A WHOLE. 
          UM, AND THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION ON THE FOURTH GARAGE. 
          YES, I HAVE TO SAY THAT, UM, MY EYESIGHT ISN'T QUITE AS GREAT AS IT USED TO BE, AND SOME OF THE PLANTS ARE A LITTLE SMALL. 
          BUT THOSE ARE, UH, ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU, MARY. 
          UM, DAN HAS INDICATED HE HAS A QUESTION. 
          YEAH, THANK YOU. 
          SO, UM, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          UH, I, I THINK PROBABLY FALLING AFTER TED A LITTLE BIT. 
          I'M, I'M SURE WE'RE, WE'RE, UM, UM, ALL CONCERNED WITH THE REDUCTION IN PARKING. 
          SO SOME OF THESE COMMENTS GO A LONG WAY TO HELP THAT. 
          UM, OBVIOUSLY AS A PUD PIECE, WE'LL HAVE A CHANCE TO COME BACK AND LOOK AT THESE. 
          SO, UH, I APPRECIATE THE FLEXIBILITY IN THIS. 
          UM, PARTICULARLY SINCE A LOT OF THE LETTERS THAT CAME IN WERE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT TRAFFIC IMPACT ON AN ALREADY STRESSED, UM, UM, SET OF ROTARIES. 
          UM, SO THE ABILITY TO, TO MANAGE AND LOOK AT ACTUAL PARKING REQUIREMENTS OVER TIME, OBVIOUSLY IS BUILT INTO THIS. 
          SO, UM, BUT FOR MY PORTION, JUST A CLARIFICATION QUESTION, UM, APPRECIATE THE REDUCTION IN THE PARKING COUNTS, BUT, UH, I MAY HAVE MISSED IT, BUT IS THERE A KIND OF PARKING RATIO THAT CAN BE ATTRIBUTED PARTLY TO COMMERCIAL, PARTLY TO RESIDENTIAL? UM, THAT HELPS ME UNDERSTAND HOW THOSE, UH, HOW THOSE NUMBERS TRANSLATE INTO, UM, KIND OF USABILITY YES. 
          TO AUDIO. 
          UM, SO, SO THERE ARE SOME BASELINE PARKING RATIOS, UH, THAT WE ARE KIND OF STARTING AT. 
          BUT THE WHOLE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE GET IS REALLY BY SHARING BETWEEN THE COMMERCIAL AND THE RESIDENTIAL SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A SEPARATE KIND OF SET OF PARKING SPACES FOR, YOU KNOW, OFFICE EMPLOYEES. 
          AND THAT A SEPARATE FOR RESIDENTS, THEY'RE NOT THERE THE SAME TIME. 
          SO WHY NOT BLEND IT AND KIND OF USE THAT SAME PHYSICAL SPACE SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO KIND OF, UH, YOU KNOW, OVERBUILD, UH, THE BASELINE PARKING IS. 
          SO ZONING IS 1.1. 
          WE HAVE REDUCED STA TO 1.0, UH, FOR, UH, GENERAL OFFICE, AND THE LAB IS 0.8. 
          UH, THE RESIDENTIAL IS 0.75, 
          [01:55:01]
BUT THAT'S KIND OF THE, THE BASELINE. 
          IF NOTHING GETS SHARED, IT'S REALLY THE SHARING THAT WE REALLY WANNA LEAN INTO. 
          AND, AND THAT'S WHERE THE OPPORTUNITIES COME TO, TO HIT THOSE LOWER PARKING SUPPLY, UM, KIND OF, UM, UH, EFFICIENCIES. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO THAT, THAT 1200, UM, REDUCTION COMES FROM THE, FROM THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SHARING OF COMMERCIAL AND BC EXACTLY. 
          EXACTLY. 
          AND, AND VALIDATING THAT THE VACANCY STUDIES, RIGHT? IF WE'RE NOT SEEING THAT THE PARKING IS BEING UTILIZED, THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO NOT BUILD OUT THOSE FUTURE PARKING GARAGES THAT ARE LATER IN THE, IN THE TIMELINE, RIGHT? YEAH, I THINK MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT, UH, PARTICULARLY WITH CLOSER ACCESS TO TRANSIT, UH, THOSE NUMBERS PARTICULARLY FOR RESIDENTIAL CAN DROP SIGNIFICANTLY. 
          I THINK MAYBE, UM, I DIRECT THAT BACK TOWARDS, UH, TRAFFIC AND, AND PLANNING, UH, FOR THOSE KINDS OF, OF ACTUAL PARKING RATIOS THAT MAY BE LOWER THAN 0.75, MAYBE BELOW 0.5. 
          YEAH. 
          THE, THE, THE EFFECTIVE WOULD WOULD BE DEFINITELY BELOW THOSE, THOSE BASE BELOW THOSE NUMBERS ONCE YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT SHARING FOR SURE. 
          YEP. 
          YEAH, AND I THINK THAT, THAT THE FOLLOW UP QUESTION HAS ALREADY BEEN ANSWERED, WHICH IS THERE IS POTENTIALLY REDUCTION IN HEIGHT OF PARKING GARAGES BASED ON THOSE, UH, UM, HOPEFUL PREDICTIONS. 
          THAT, THAT'S ALL MY QUESTION. 
          YEAH. 
          THANK YOU DAN. 
          ASHLEY? UH, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          I JUST HAVE A, UM, TECHNICAL QUESTION. 
          I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY FOR CDD STAFF, BUT, SO WE RECEIVED A THICK PACKAGE OF SPECIAL PERMIT CONDITIONS. 
          UM, AND THEN WE AFTERWARDS GOT A DOT MEMO WITH THAT ALSO HAD OTHER CONDITIONS, ARE THOSE GONNA BE INCORPORATED INTO THAT BIG PACKAGE THAT WE FIRST GOT ARE OTHERWISE REFERENCED? 'CAUSE I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD STUFF IN THE, UM, DOT MEMO. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO, UH, SORRY, THIS IS JEFF. 
          I, I CAN SPEAK TO THAT. 
          SO THE, THE IDEA IS, YOU KNOW, THE, THE CONDITIONS, AND THIS IS SORT TYPICAL FOR, FOR PUD PROJECTS, WE'VE, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF THESE, UM, THAT THERE'S A, AN OVERALL SET OF CONDITIONS THAT, YOU KNOW, TALKS ABOUT THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S, WHAT'S ALLOWED, HOW DEVELOPMENT GETS PHASED, HOW THE DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS WORKS. 
          THERE'S A LOT OF IT'S PROCEDURAL. 
          UM, BUT THEN THERE'S A, UM, THE, THE WAY THAT, UH, TRANSPORTATION IS ORGANIZED, THEIR COMMENTS, THEY HAVE SORT OF AN ATTACHMENT, WHICH IS A, THEY CALL A TRANSPORTATION MITIGATION PROGRAM. 
          SO IT'S KIND OF A CONSOLIDATED DOCUMENT THAT LAYS OUT ALL THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS, WHICH SORT OF DOVETAIL IN WITH THE, THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCESS. 
          SO THAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND ATTACHING, UM, AND MAKING REFERENCE TO AS, AS A SET OF CONDITIONS. 
          UM, THE DBW MEMO, I BELIEVE, BECAUSE IT HAS A, A FEW DIFFERENT KIND OF DISCREET ELEMENTS, WE'VE KIND OF INCORPORATED THAT ALL INTO THE, UM, INTO THE CONDITIONS PACKAGE. 
          AND SIMILAR, YOU KNOW, THE COMMENTS FROM, YOU KNOW, URBAN DESIGN, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THAT IS INCORPORATED INTO THE, INTO THE COMMENTS, BUT THERE'S ALSO THE INTENTION TO ATTACH THAT, UH, URBAN DESIGN APPENDIX. 
          THAT WOULD BE KIND OF A GUIDING DOCUMENT THAT WOULD GET LOOKED AT WHEN, UH, DIFFERENT ELEMENTS COME IN FOR DESIGN REVIEW. 
          UM, GREAT. 
          UH, MARY, UM, THANK YOU. 
          SO, UH, MY QUESTION IS, UH, LOOKING AT THE CAMBRIDGE BICYCLE COMMITTEE, AND I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE APPLICANT, MAYBE SELMA OR, UM, CITY STAFF. 
          CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE WAY PHASING AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OR THE COMPLETE STREETS, ESPECIALLY AT SMITH AND FAUCET AND THE INTERSECTIONS AT CONCORD, HOW DOES THAT SEQUENCE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT? SO SAY YOU DO PHASE ONE AND YOU HAVE THE BUILDINGS, YOU KNOW, THEIR INSET. 
          WOULD YOU BE DOING THE FULL STREET RECONSTRUCTION WITH WITH THAT? YEP, THAT'S, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. 
          SO THE PLACES WHERE YOU HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE BUILDINGS, THOSE WOULD BE BUILT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. 
          UM, WHERE WE HAVE OFFSITE IMPROVEMENTS, THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE LAID OUT WITHIN THE DOT UH, CONDITIONS THAT ASHLEY JUST MENTIONED. 
          UH, SOME OF THEM INCLUDE IMPROVEMENTS ALONG CONCORD AVENUE WHERE WE'RE NOT BUILDING A LONG CONCORD AVENUE, BUT WE HAVE SHORT TERM MIDTERM AND LONG-TERM IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE LAID OUT THROUGH THE MEMO ITSELF. 
          SO IT'S A COMBINATION OF THE TWO , BUT, UM, ULTIMATELY YES, THAT IS CORRECT. 
          OKAY, CAROLYN. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS ON THE PARKING. 
          I HAD A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, MOST OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SOLVED. 
          UM, SO THANK YOU. 
          UM, THERE WERE TWO KIND OF IF THEN SCENARIOS IN THE DOT MEMO ABOUT REDUCING PARKING. 
          ONE THAT HAD TO DO WITH TIMING, WHICH KIND OF IMPLIES THAT THOSE, THAT WHEN IT'S FULLY BUILT, THOSE SPACES COULD BE ELIMINATED, MAYBE. 
          UM, SO THAT'S A, I GUESS A QUESTION TO YOU GUYS. 
          THE OTHER ONE WAS ABOUT, UM, 
          [02:00:01]
R FIVE AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S MULTIFAMILY IS THE ALTERNATIVE ON R FIVE, THAT IT'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THEREFORE THE PARKING RATIO IS DIFFERENT. 
          SO FOR THAT ONE IN PARTICULAR, THE ALTERNATIVE IS SENIOR HOUSING ACTUALLY. 
          AND WE WEREN'T ABLE, AND WHICH WOULD STILL FALL UNDER THE RESIDENTIAL, UH, PARKING RATIOS. 
          UM, AND WE WEREN'T ABLE TO COMMIT TO A REDUCTION OR A CHANGE BASED ON THAT USE, SINCE WE'RE NOT SURE WHICH, UM, RATIO OF ACUITY WOULD GO INTO THAT. 
          WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO A STUDY ON WHETHER OR NOT, YOU KNOW, MEMORY CARE OR, OR ASSISTED LIVING OR INDEPENDENT LIVING MADE THE MOST SENSE. 
          AND EACH ONE OF THOSE HAS DIFFERENT PARKING REQUIREMENTS. 
          SO AT THAT TIME, WHEN WE GO THROUGH DESIGN REVIEW, THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION. 
          OKAY. 
          GREAT. 
          AND THEN REGARDING YOUR FIRST QUESTION ON TIMING AND PHASING OF THE PARKING, DO YOU HAVE SPECIFICS OF WHERE THAT'S MENTIONED SINCE THERE, I KNOW THERE'S A VARIETY OF MECHANISMS WITHIN  THAT CONDITION. 
          SO IT'S JUST SAYING THAT IF P TWO IS BUILT BEFORE R ONE AND OR R EIGHT, THAT THE MM-HMM . 
          PARKING IN THE RESI BUILDINGS WILL BE DROPPED DOWN. 
          THE TOTAL PARKING SPACE, WOULD THAT MAKE THE RESI BUILDINGS SMALLER? IS THAT A REDUCTION IN TOTAL SQUARE FOOTED, OR WOULD THAT USE GET FILLED IN BY, IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          CITY SPACE, SOMETHING ELSE. 
          SO THE OVERALL, THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF RESI WON'T CHANGE 'CAUSE THE PARKING IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT NUMBER. 
          THE PARKING WILL JUST BE RELOCATED TO THE PARKING GARAGE AND THUS SHARED. 
          SO THE PARKING WITHIN THE TWO RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS ARE ONE, AND RA WOULD BE ELIMINATED AT THAT TIME, RESULTING IN A NET REDUCTION IN PARKING. 
          SO THE 13 STORY BUILDINGS, WHICH WERE TYPICALLY A THREE STORY PODIUM WITH A 10 STORY TOWER ON TOP, ARE NOW JUST 10 STORY TOWERS WITH RETAIL OR AMENITIES AT THE BOTTOM. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          UM, I HAD, UM, A QUESTION FOR CITY STAFF. 
          THIS IS JUST TO CONFIRM, MAYBE STATE THE AUDIENCE, BUT MAKE MYSELF FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT. 
          PARKING GARAGES ARE WHEN WE ALL THE INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS COME BACK FOR DESIGN REVIEW THAT INCLUDES PARKING GARAGES. 
          YES. 
          UH, THOSE ARE DETERMINED BUILDING SITES, AND THEY WILL RECEIVE A DESIGN REVIEW AS WELL. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, UM, A QUESTION FOR CHRIS. 
          UM, THE PARK, UM, IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT, UM, IS FROM SOME PERSPECTIVES TUCKED BETWEEN, YOU HAVE TO ACCESS IT THROUGH BUILDINGS OR KIND OF TUCKED BETWEEN BUILDINGS. 
          IS THERE, ARE YOU FOCUSED ON WAYFINDING AND ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO GET INTO THAT SPACE? I ASSUME YOU ARE  THIS IS, AGAIN, JUST TO MAKE MYSELF FEEL BETTER ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE I, I, PARKS TO ME FEEL MORE PUBLIC WHEN THEY'RE KIND OF, I KNOW THERE'S ONE SIDE THAT IS ON A PUBLIC STREET, BUT UM, IT STILL FEEL HAS A POTENTIAL TO FEEL KIND OF LIKE A PRIVATE PARK FOR THOSE BUSINESS, THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS ON THAT QUADRANT. 
          YEAH, IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. 
          AND I DID TOUCH ON WAYFINDING BRIEFLY, UM, WHEN I WAS SPEAKING. 
          AND, UM, THE BIGGEST GESTURE OR MOVE THAT HAPPENED WITH THE C FOUR BUILDING, SHIFTING TO THE CORNER REALLY, UM, TRANSFORMED THE SPACE IN TERM IN TERMS OF OPENING UP, UM, YOU KNOW, TWO SIDES OF THAT GREEN SPACE. 
          WHEREAS BEFORE, IT WAS A MUCH MORE ENCLOSED AND SORT OF A CORPORATE QUADRANGLE. 
          AND WE, WE UNDERSTOOD THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO MAKE THAT AS MUCH A PUBLIC PARK, UH, OPEN SPACE AS POSSIBLE. 
          AND I, I THINK THAT MOVE AND THE STRONG CONNECTION WE'RE MAKING NORTH, SOUTH TO THE FUTURE MULTI-USE PATH, UM, ALONG MOONEY STREET, REALLY THOSE SORT OF SERIES OF CONNECTIONS, UM, ARE ALL MEANT TO PROMOTE THE INVITATION FOR EVERYBODY TO USE THAT SPACE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GREAT. 
          ANYBODY ELSE? YEAH, DIEGO. 
          UM, MY QUESTION IS ABOUT FLOODING AND, UH, I KNOW YOU MENTIONED SORT OF THE, YOU KNOW, 1% AND ACTIVE USES, BUT THERE WAS A COMMENT FROM THE PEDESTRIAN COMMITTEE ABOUT, UM, PROTECTING PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS AND THE BRIDGE AND, UM, I GUESS I JUST DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING, OR MAYBE I MISSED IT, ABOUT SORT OF THE FLOOD STRATEGY FOR THE PEDESTRIAN USE AND, AND THE BRIDGE AS WELL. 
          UM, THAT'S MY QUESTION. 
          THANKS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IN THE MOST RECENT, UM, FEMA FLOOD MAP, WHICH WAS ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL, THE A YR DEVELOPMENT WAS REMOVED FROM THE FLOODPLAIN. 
          SO THE ABSENCE OF THAT WAS MOST LIKELY DUE TO IT NO LONGER APPLYING. 
          TO YOUR POINT THOUGH, THE BRIDGE IS STILL INCLUDED IN THE 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN. 
          UM, SO WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE MBTA AND THE CITY TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PUTTING IN THE NECESSARY, UM, MITIGATIONS FOR THAT. 
          GREAT. 
          WELL, I HAVE A, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. 
          THANK YOU, DIEGO. 
          UM, ONE IS, I, I, MY FIRST QUESTION MAYBE IS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD. 
          UH, THE START OF THE BRIDGE IS CONSIDERED A TRIGGER GIVEN THAT IT'S GONNA TAKE THREE YEARS TO THINK WHETHER THE BRIDGE SHOULD HAPPEN AND MAYBE, I DON'T 
          [02:05:01]
KNOW HOW MANY MORE YEARS TO DESIGN AND DETAIL. 
          IT IS THE START, THE START OF THE DESIGN OR THE START OF THE CONSTRUCTION. 
          SO PER THE ZONING AT THE 50% COMMERCIAL BUILD OUT, IT'D BE START OF CONSTRUCTION. 
          OKAY. 
          WE HAVE SPENT THE LAST THREE YEARS WITH THE MBTA RUNNING THROUGH DESIGN. 
          I MEAN, JOHN HAS REDESIGNED THAT BRIDGE FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS, . 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE ARE CONSTANTLY WORKING THROUGH DESIGN SO THAT WHEN WE DO GET THE GO AHEAD FROM THE MBTA, WE CAN IMMEDIATELY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING, OR ONCE WE HIT THAT ZONING REQUIREMENT OF THE 50% BUILDUP. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UH, THAT'S THE ANSWER I WAS HOPING FOR. 
          AND, UM, THERE'S REFERENCE TO, UH, THE PARTNERSHIP WITH EVERSOURCE AND POTENTIALLY A, A GROUP OF THERMAL WELLS, UH, IN, UH, WORKING THERE. 
          BUT THAT'S ALSO PROMPTS. 
          WHAT IS A MASTER, FUNDAMENTALLY A MASTER PLANNING QUESTION RATHER THAN A DESIGN REVIEW. 
          QUESTION WAS, ARE YOU CONSIDERING DISTRICT-WIDE BEYOND THAT DISTRICT-WIDE ENERGY SOLUTIONS? IF I'VE LEARNED ANYTHING IN MY YEARS WORKING ON SUSTAINABILITY, UH, THE ANSWER'S GONNA COME FROM WORKING TOGETHER RATHER THAN ONE BUILDING AT A TIME. 
          SO IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT THAT POTENTIALLY, UH, YOU, YOU GANG THE ENERGY ROOM? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT IT UP. 
          'CAUSE OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CITY SUSTAINABILITY DEPARTMENT AND EVERSOURCE HAVE BEEN REALLY ENCOURAGING. 
          THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE A FRAMEWORK FOR A PUBLIC PRIVATE TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE, SPECIFICALLY AROUND GEOTHERMAL ENERGY SYSTEMS, WHERE THE INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE OWNED BY EVERSOURCE, WHICH IS PERSONALLY THE HARDEST PART FOR A PRIVATE DEVELOPERS TO OWN ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WOULD BE USED BY ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS. 
          THE FRAMEWORK IS THEY WOULD BE OWNING THAT, UM, THAT INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THEN WE WOULD BE PROVIDING LAND FOR THE WELLS. 
          WE'RE CERTAINLY INTERESTED IN EVALUATING THAT. 
          I BELIEVE THAT THE CITY AND THE EVERSOURCE ARE GONNA COME OUT AT THE END OF THE MONTH OR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS ON THAT FRAMEWORK AND THEIR PROGRESS. 
          SO WE'RE LOOKING INTO CONTINUING THOSE CONVERSATIONS ONCE THAT FRAMEWORK IS MORE BUILT UP. 
          THAT'S A GEOTHERMAL A A GREAT IDEA, YOU KNOW, BUT WITH A LOT OF COMPLICATIONS. 
          BUT WITH A WHAT WITH JUST VIRTUALLY A GIANT CAMPUS, YOU KNOW, A CENTRAL UTILITY PLANT, A CENTRAL ENERGY PLANT, STEAM PLANT TO SERVICE THE BUILDINGS OVER TIME, UH, THERE'S AN ENORMOUS ECONOMIES, AT LEAST IN ENERGY, MAYBE NOT IN CAPITAL TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. 
          IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE CONSIDERING? UH, CERTAINLY AS PART OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS, WE'VE CONSIDERED IT, UM, IN DETAIL, THOUGH, I PROBABLY PROBABLY WOULD PASS THIS OVER TO JESS, UM, FROM AT 10 TO TALK TO THIS IN FURTHER DEPTH. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SO EARLY ON, WE, WE DID DEFINITELY LOOK AT THIS, UM, AND HOW WE COULD DIVIDE AS THE TEAM WAS KIND OF PROGRAMMING AND THINKING ABOUT WHAT TYPES OF BUILDINGS MADE SENSE, WHERE ON THE SITE, UH, THINKING ABOUT HOW THAT WOULD IMPACT THOSE POTENTIALS FOR SHARED ENERGY. 
          RIGHT. 
          WE, WE, UM, HAVE A GOOD SYNERGY BETWEEN COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL LAB PROGRAM AND RESIDENTIAL IN HOW THAT HEAT IS SHARED. 
          UM, RIGHT NOW, AND PARTICULARLY WITH THE EARLY PHASES HERE, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, WE DON'T QUITE HAVE THAT DIVERSITY, UM, TO, TO FULLY SUPPORT THAT. 
          BUT AGAIN, IF WE'RE PLUGGING INTO A LARGER SYSTEM THAT WE'RE JUST ONE COMPONENT OF, THERE MIGHT BE SOME MORE OPPORTUNITIES THERE. 
          UM, AND, AND AGAIN, AND HOW THAT REALLY IS STRUCTURED OVER THE, THE, THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW DECADES, UM, WOULD BE WHERE THOSE EFFICIENCIES ARE FOUND WHEN WE REALLY HAVE A, A MUCH STRONGER SYSTEM THERE VERSUS, YOU KNOW, US PUTTING ONE OR TWO BUILDINGS INTERCONNECTED. 
          UM, AND THAT'S WHAT WE SAW AS SOME OF THE BIGGER, UH, AND AS, AS WE LOOKED AT THE BUILDINGS AND INDIVIDUALLY THEIR OPPORTUNITIES FOR EFFICIENCY ON EACH OF THEIR INDIVIDUAL SITES WITH THEIR, WITH THE SYSTEMS AND WHERE THEY'RE TODAY AND EFFICIENCIES. 
          OKAY. 
          COOL. 
          GREAT. 
          KEEP THE THINKING GO GOING. 
          AND THEN THIS IS ALSO JUST, YOU KNOW, TO PROMPT THIS CITY STAFF, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S GONNA BE MORE CONVERSATIONS. 
          UM, UM, I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, GET SOME, UH, RESPONSE TO A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP IN PUBLIC COMMENT AROUND OPERATIONS AT DPW, THE IMPACT ON A, ON ABUTTERS AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF, YOU KNOW, THE INEVITABLE BEEP BEEP BEEP FROM THE BACKUP OF THOSE TRUCKS. 
          I MEAN, HOW ARE WE, HOW ARE WE THINKING ABOUT THAT? THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. 
          I'M JIM WILCOX, CITY ENGINEER AT THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. 
          UM, SO THE INTENDED USE FOR THE THE DPW APOSTLE IS FOR DPW OPERATIONS. 
          UM, THOSE OPERATIONS WOULD BE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT CURRENTLY GOES ON AT 1 47 HAMPSHIRE STREET, WHICH IS IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          SO WE ARE QUITE FAMILIAR WITH RUNNING OUR OPERATION IN THAT TYPE OF SETTING. 
          UM, THIS PARCEL IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US 'CAUSE WE HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY OUTGROWN OUR SPACE AT 1 47 HAMPSHIRE STREET. 
          SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 
          [02:10:01]
OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THIS FACILITY AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT. 
          SO I, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GONNA REASSURE THE COMMUNITY, BUT, UH, OH, MELISSA'S GOT HER HAND UP. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, I MIGHT JUST ADD THAT, UM, DURING THE COMMUNITY PROCESS, IT BECAME VERY CLEAR FROM THE COMMUNITY AND THE ABUTTING NEIGHBORS THAT THEY LOVED DPW AS A NEIGHBOR AND ACTUALLY, UM, PREFERRED DPW IN THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION ON THE, THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE QUAD. 
          SO THE LOCATION OF DPW IS RESPONSIVE TO WHAT, UH, THE EXISTING NEIGHBORS, UM, WANTED BECAUSE DPW WAS KNOWN TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR, THAT THE OPERATIONS THAT HAPPENED THERE, UM, WERE, YOU KNOW, NOT THE MORE NUISANCE OPERATIONS THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT, BUT RATHER IT WAS MORE OF A, A LOW INTENSITY, UM, USE THAT PEOPLE GOT ACCUSTOMED TO AND AND APPRECIATED. 
          GREAT. 
          MR. CHAIR, CAN I JUST ADD TO HISTORIC CONTEXT? THE, AND THIS GOES BACK TO MY EARLY DAYS ON THE COUNCIL. 
          WHEN THE END OF LOOMIS WAS BEING DEVELOPED, THE BIGGEST FEAR WAS THAT DEVELOPMENT WOULD UNLEASH OPEN UP TRAFFIC TO COME FROM THE QUAD INTO, INTO THE HIGHLANDS. 
          THERE WAS A COMMITMENT BY THAT DEVELOPER. 
          IF THEY WERE ABLE TO GET 16 UNITS, THEY WOULD IN PERPETUITY RESTRICT ACCESS. 
          THAT DEVELOPER NEVER FINISHED. 
          SO THAT COVENANT NEVER WAS MADE. 
          SO WHEN WE BEGAN, UM, NEIGHBORS AGAIN IN TENNIS, JOHN CHUNG ASKED ATTORNEY RAFFI AND I, CAN YOU FIND SOMEBODY THAT WILL BUY THIS? THIS WAS BEFORE HEALTH PEAK'S EXISTENCE, TO TRY TO GET THAT SITE UNDER CONTROL SO THAT WE CAN NOT WORRY ABOUT TRAFFIC POURING INTO THE HIGHLANDS. 
          UM, IN THE MEANTIME, DPW DEVELOPED A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL SPACE, SO THE STARS ALIGNED. 
          I, I DON'T THINK I MEANT TO GRAB ONE OF THE, UH, CONDO OWNERS TO EXPLAIN THE HISTORY 'CAUSE I DON'T THINK THEY REALIZE HOW CLOSE THEY WERE TO HAVING A FREEWAY THROUGH UP LUMA STREET AND WHAT WE'VE DONE TO AVOID THAT. 
          BUT I GOTTA, I GOTTA CIRCLE BACK WITH THOSE OWNERS. 
          SORRY, MR. CHAIR. 
          UH, NO, THAT'S TERRIFIC. 
          AND THERE'LL BE JUST ONE, UH, SQUIRREL WANTS TO NOTE, UM, ABOUT THE EXISTENCE TODAY OF DPW ACTIVITIES IN THIS AREA. 
          YES. 
          SO DPW IS AN EXISTING TENANT THAT ABUTS THE RESIDENTS THAT CALLED IN. 
          SO A LOT OF THE USES THAT WOULD BE PROPOSED IN THE FUTURE ARE VERY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THERE IS TODAY. 
          ALSO, I WANT TO POINT OUT, THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF THE DPW BUILDING IS IN BETWEEN THE COMMU THE, UH, NEIGHBORS AND THE YARD. 
          SO IT WOULD ACT AS A SOUND BUFFER AS WELL. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU FOR THOSE DETAILS. 
          UM, AND MY LAST QUESTION, UH, THANK YOU FOR THE PHASING PLAN. 
          AND I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF CRYSTAL BALL WORK THAT HAS TO GO INTO THAT. 
          UM, IT'S REALLY MAYBE A SLIGHTLY RUDE QUESTION ABOUT, UH, THE VERACITY OF THAT. 
          UM, AND, UH, HOW IS THAT, IS THE PHASING PLAN MEMORIALIZED? UM, AND TO WHAT EXTENT ARE, ARE YOU GONNA BE TIED TO THAT, UM, GIVEN THAT YOU'RE, YOU'VE GOTTA DEVELOP AT THE WHIMS OF THE MARKET AND ET CETERA? YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. 
          IT IS A CRYSTAL BALL AND IT'S DEFINITELY MORE OF AN ART THAN IT IS A SCIENCE. 
          UM, WE FIRST STARTED OFF WITH BREAKING THE PHASING INTO TWO CATEGORIES BEFORE BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION AND AFTER BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION AT 50% COMMERCIAL BUILD OUT, WE THEN BROKE IT INTO TWO SUB, UH, SUB PHASES. 
          IN THE FIRST PHASE IS BROKEN BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL DUE TO MARKET CONDITIONS. 
          RES RIGHT NOW, NEITHER WORK, BUT RESIDENTIAL IS MORE LIKELY TO WORK IN THE FUTURE BASED ON SOME OF THE VALUE ENGINEERING THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON IN CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING WITH THE CITY. 
          SO WE'RE EAGER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. 
          THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THAT IN PHASE ONE A, THE INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS WITHIN PHASE ONE A AND PHASE ONE B SIMILARLY WITH PHASE TWO A AND TWO B CAN BE MOVED INTERCHANGEABLY, BUT TO MOVE FROM A BUILDING FROM PHASE TWO TO PHASE ONE REQUIRES A MINOR AMENDMENT. 
          SO THAT WOULD BE PART OF OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU ALL IN CASE THAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE BASED ON MARKET CONDITIONS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THAT'S THE MECHANISM THAT EXISTS THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT, THAT, THAT MECHANISM EXISTS WITHIN THE ORDINANCE. 
          ARTICLE 12 NOW PROVIDES, UH, I MEAN, PHASING IS CONTEMPLATED AS SOMETHING THAT COULD AND, AND OFTEN DOES CHANGE. 
          SO WE WOULD FOLLOW THE, UH, THE STRUCTURE SET FORTH IN, IN THE DECISION ALWAYS REFLECT THAT, THAT REFERENCE TO THE ORDINANCE IN SECTION 12. 
          YEAH. 
          EXCEPT THAT YOU HAVE THE BRIDGE, THE BRIDGE IS IMMOVABLE, THERE'S BEFORE AND AFTER THE BRIDGE. 
          SO IN THE END THAT THAT COMPONENT OF THE PHASING REALLY IS EXACTLY ALSO MEMORIALIZED TO THE ZONING AND THAT REALLY ISN'T NEGOTIABLE. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          SO THIS, UH, THIS GROUP'S HELD, UH, FEET ARE HELD TO THE FIRE 
          [02:15:01]
MORE THAN WHAT WE USUALLY SEE ROUND PHASING. 
          UM, UH, THAT'S IT FOR MY QUESTIONS. 
          UM, ANYBODY ELSE ON THE BOARD, MR. CHAIR? YES, TED, I HAVE JUST ONE OTHER QUESTION THAT IS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED, BUT WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE, UH, CONTINUATION OF TERMINAL ROAD, UH, TO, I GUESS TO WILLER STREET? I CAN START AND THEN I MIGHT PUT SOME PRESSURE ON THE CITY. 
          WE, WE'VE, WE'VE AGREED TO ADDITIONAL MONIES. 
          ONE IS SORT OF A, WHAT I WOULD CALL, UH, IDENTIFYING WHO MAY USE IT AND WHAT THE IMPACTS WOULD BE. 
          WE'VE ALSO, UM, MADE A COMMITMENT OF FUNDING CONSTRUCTION. 
          AS, YOU KNOW, EVERSOURCE CONTROLS THE PIECE OF LAND THAT WOULD MAKE IT FAR EASIER. 
          UM, WE'RE HOPING THAT THERE'S A, THERE'S A WAY TO GET THIS CONNECTION WITHOUT A LOT OF THAT BUILDING FOR BIKE AND PED. 
          UM, VEHICULAR PROBABLY GETS MORE CHALLENGING, BUT IT'S STILL IN PLAY. 
          UM, I DON'T KNOW IF, IF SOMEONE FROM THE CITY WANTS TO SPEAK TO IT, I, YOU KNOW, TED, WHEN WE DID THE 55 WHEELER APPROVAL, THIS WAS A BIG TOPIC, IT WOULD MAKE LIFE A LOT EASIER. 
          OUR CONNECTIONS CONNECT TO IT, THE MUSE THAT WE DID ALONG 55 WHEELERS, SO IT WOULD BE A BIG DEAL. 
          UM, BUT THERE'S SOME WORK TO DO WITH EVERSOURCE AND HOPEFULLY THE CITY'S CONTINUE TO MAKE SOME PROGRESS. 
          WE'RE GLAD THAT IT'S MEMORIALIZED IN THE MITIGATION. 
          YEAH. 
          JUST TO ADD TO THAT, SO, UM, BACK AT THE, UH, UTILITY PRESENTATION I DID TO THE PLANNING BOARD IN JUNE, I DID PROVIDE A COUPLE OF CONCEPTS, UM, THAT DPW IS WORKING ON FOR WHAT TERMINAL ROAD EXTENSION COULD LOOK LIKE. 
          SO WE ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING THROUGH THOSE DESIGN CONCEPTS AND, UM, WORKING WITH EVERSOURCE ON HOW WE CAN GO ABOUT, UH, PUTTING THAT IN PLACE. 
          SO HAS EVERSOURCE AGREED THIS COULD HAPPEN OR IT'S STILL WE'RE THINKING ABOUT? SORRY. 
          SORRY. 
          IT, I THINK YOU NEED TO STAY ON THE, THE MICROPHONE. 
          I WAS ASKING HAS EVERSOURCE AGREED TO IT IN CONCEPT OR IT STILL SOMETHING THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT? SO EVERSOURCE HAS AGREED TO IT IN CONCEPT. 
          OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A, A CONVEYANCE PROCESS WE NEED TO GO THROUGH TO GET RIGHTS TO BUILD THAT ROAD ON THAT LAND, BUT IN CONCEPT, ESO HAS AGREED TO IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GREAT. 
          AT, AT THIS POINT WE'RE COMING UP ON, UH, TO TWO AND A QUARTER HOURS HERE. 
          I THINK WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST BEFORE WE MOVE TO BOARD DISCUSSION, AT THE RISK OF, UH, CREATING A DRAMATIC PAUSE FOR THE, UH, UH, THE PROPONENT HERE THAT WE TAKE A BREAK, UM, GET SOMETHING TO, I NEED SOMETHING TO DRINK, BUT, UH, JUST TAKE A QUICK BREAK, CLEAR OUR HEADS, UM, AND THEN, UH, RECONVENE. 
          I'D SAY, UH, AT NINE O'CLOCK TO START OUR DISCUSSIONS AND DELIBERATIONS. 
          THERE'S A A, A FAIRLY RICH SET OF CONDITIONS THAT WE'RE ALSO GONNA HAVE TO, AND FINDINGS WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE AS A BOARD. 
          SO IT'D BE GOOD TO, UH, STRETCH OUR LEGS A LITTLE BIT. 
          SO I WOULD SAY WE'LL TAKE A BREAK TILL NINE O'CLOCK. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO RECONVENE IF EVERYBODY WANTS TO TAKE THEIR SEAT. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO AT, AT THIS POINT, UM, AT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE BOARD DISCUSSION, I WANNA REASSURE EVERYBODY, THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION AT THE BREAK EITHER IN THE, IN THE, IN THE CITY COUNCIL ROOM OR HERE RELATIVE TO THE, RELATIVE TO THE ISSUES BEFORE US. 
          THAT ONLY HAPPENS IN THIS PUBLIC FORUM. 
          SO, UM, AT THIS POINT, UH, WE'LL MOVE, UH, TO DISCUSSION FROM BOARD MEMBERS. 
          AND DOES SOMEBODY WANT TO TAKE, UH, THE FIRST PASS AT THIS MARY ECKER? OH, WE'VE GOT A MARY FLYNN UP TOO, BUT WE'LL GO. 
          SHE WENT FIRST LAST TIME. 
          WE'LL, WE'LL TAKE THE MARY IN THE ROOM FIRST. 
          MARY MARYELLE TO START. 
          UM, UH, WE'LL THANK YOU TO THE APPLICANTS AND EVERYBODY AND, AND ALSO OF COURSE, THE CITY STAFF. 
          IT'S VERY CLEAR HOW MUCH THOUGHT HAS BEEN PUT INTO THIS AND HOW MANY DECADES AT THIS POINT. 
          IT REALLY HAS BEEN, BEEN WANTED. 
          UM, I THINK IT'S A REALLY CHALLENGING SITE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LOT OF PROPERTY, IT'S QUITE DIVIDED UP. 
          [02:20:01]
AND SO THE THING THAT'S MOST EXCITING TO ME IS THE ROLE THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS DOING, ESTABLISHING A STREET SCAPE CONNECTIVITY FOR THE PEDESTRIANS AND BIKES. 
          UM, AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, I CLEARLY THE STAFF IS REALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO THAT, AND I THINK IT'S AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY HERE. 
          WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY BICYCLE SAFETY IS. 
          SO TO HAVE A PLACE TO REALLY SHOWCASE THAT FROM THE GROUND UP A BIT IS, IS VERY COOL. 
          UM, I AM STILL KIND OF QUITE INTERESTED IN THE CONCORD A IMPROVEMENTS HAPPEN AS PART OF THE AGREEMENTS I'M STILL QUITE IN INTERESTED IN, AS YOU PHASE IT OUT, HOW DOES IT SEQUENCE, RIGHT? TO MAKE SURE THAT EV THAT IT'S, IF YOU DO A DEVELOPMENT THAT'S BACK NEAR THE TRACKS, THERE IS A REALLY GOOD PAD AND AND BIKE CONNECTION THROUGH THERE. 
          UM, THE THING ABOUT THE PHASING THAT THROWS ME A LITTLE BIT IS SOMETHING THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS, BUT, SO IF THERE ARE COMMENTS, YOU KNOW, I I'M, I'M OPEN TO THAT AS WELL. 
          THE OPEN SPACE, TO ME IT FEELS LIKE THE BIG MOVE HERE IS YOUR STREET SCAPES. 
          IT'S, THAT'S YOUR BIG PUBLIC REALM. 
          AND IT SEEMS THERE ARE KIND OF THREE PARKS. 
          AND WHAT THROWS ME ARE, IT'S KIND OF INDICATIVE IS YOU'RE PHASING DOES BEND PARK IN TWO PHASES. 
          THAT IN ITSELF SUGGESTS A BIT OF A FRAGMENTED APPROACH TO THAT OPEN SPACE. 
          UM, AND SO I THINK SINCE THE LAST TIME WE SAW IT, I STILL SEE, IT'S ALMOST LIKE I SEE CON I I SEE EVIDENCE OF CONVERSATIONS MAYBE WITH THE CITY AND AND COMMUNITY ABOUT WHAT THEY WANNA SEE HERE. 
          LIKE, DOES SOMEONE WANT A BASKETBALL COURT? SOMEONE WANTS A DOG PARK, SOMEONE WANTS PLAYGROUND, BUT IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU'VE SO OVER DISTRIBUTED IT, THERE'S NOT A THERE THERE IN ANY OF THEM. 
          UM, AND SO IT'S THE PUBLIC REALM THAT IN THE LONGER TERM, BOTH THE STREET SCAPES HAVING IDENTITY, RIGHT? BECAUSE YOU GUYS HAVE LIKE BEND PARK, BUT ISN'T SMITH STREET JUST AS ICONIC GOING TO BE JUST AS ICONIC, RIGHT? UM, AND SO THE THING I'M KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT MORE, SO I PROMPT THIS AS MAYBE THE BEGINNING OF CONVERSATION BECAUSE WE DIDN'T ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT, AND I'M KIND OF CURIOUS ABOUT MY, UM, COLLEAGUES, YOUR THOUGHTS ON, UM, THE PUBLIC REALM AND HOW, HOW A A VISION THAT'S NOT TOTALLY CLEAR ON THAT. 
          HOW DOES THAT SUSTAIN WHEN IT'S ALL GONNA BE BUILT OUT IN PARCELS, RIGHT? SO ISN'T THERE A GREAT RISK, AND THIS IS MAYBE TO THE CITY AS WELL, ISN'T THERE A GREAT RISK OF IT END UP ENDING UP FEELING, UM, LIKE THE OPEN SPACE IS RESIDUAL SPACE. 
          UM, AND SO THAT'S KIND OF WHY I'M OPENING. 
          AND AND OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE THAT IN BETWEEN OF THE DIAGONAL PARKS, SO YOU CAN'T, YOU KNOW, LIKE, I GET IT. 
          YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN'T DO THAT AT THE SAME TIME. 
          IT'S ALMOST LIKE, I CAN'T TELL EITHER ONE. 
          UM, WHEN YOU DO HAVE THAT CENTER, WHOEVER DEVELOPS THAT, HOW DO THESE TWO PIECES RELATE TO EACH OTHER? 'CAUSE IT THEN FEELS LIKE, IF YOU IMAGINE THAT CONNECTION, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HAVE A SMALL PLAYGROUND HERE, A SMALL PLAYGROUND THERE, YOU HAVE PAVILIONS EVERYWHERE. 
          I WOULD URGE THAT THAT KIND OF THE TRILLION PRECEDENT FOR THAT LITTLE EXTRA BUILDING. 
          YOU HAVE SO MANY BUILDINGS, DON'T TAKE UP OPEN SPACE WITH FOOD AND BEVERAGE. 
          LET THAT BE IN THE BASE OF THE BUILDING, TRY TO GET IT IN THE BASE OF THE BUILDING. 
          UM, LET TREES BE THE SHADE, RIGHT? I FEEL LIKE THERE'S NOT A STORY HERE YET THAT SPEAKS TO ME OF THIS OPEN SPACE THAT IS TREE FORWARD, RIGHT? NOT LONG FORWARD. 
          SO THAT'S KIND OF OPENING IT UP TO EVERYONE AROUND THAT IDEA OF THE, THE PUBLIC, PUBLIC REALM GROWN. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU MARY, MARY FLYNN. 
          UH, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          UM, I, UM, THERE'S SO MUCH ABOUT THIS PLAN THAT, THAT I REALLY DO LIKE, I MEAN, IT, IT'S, WHEN WE THINK BACK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF L LIFE AND THE NUMBER OF ITERATIONS OF PLANS THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH AND THE ZONING PROCESSES AND EVERYTHING, UM, I THINK THIS, THIS PLAN JUST OFFERS SO MUCH, UH, TO THE CITY. 
          AND, UM, AND AGAIN, EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON IT IS TO BE COMMENDED. 
          UM, I DON'T DISAGREE WITH WITH MARY AT ALL. 
          UM, I THINK TO ME, THE, THE OPEN SPACES ARE STILL NEEDING SOMETHING. 
          IT FEELS LIKE IT IS VERY FRAGMENTED AND I GET AGAIN, THAT IT'S SPREAD OVER THE PROPERTIES BECAUSE OF THE OWNERSHIP PATTERN. 
          UM, BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE ONE POSITIVE, WELL ONE OF THE MANY POSITIVE THINGS THAT IS GONNA HAPPEN GOING FORWARD IS THAT WE'RE GONNA GET TO CONTINUE TO REVIEW ALL OF THESE THINGS, UM, THROUGH DESIGN REVIEW PROCESSES. 
          AND PERHAPS THERE, THERE COULD BE MORE OF A DESIGN PROCESS, UM, AND AROUND THE OPEN SPACE TO GIVE MARY AND OTHERS A LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORT AS TO THE VISION, 
          [02:25:01]
UM, WHERE WE'RE HEADED. 
          AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THAT'S GONNA BE REFINED OVER TIME. 
          BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, I'M VERY HAPPY THAT THE, THE HOUSING IS BEING, UM, BUILT UP FRONT. 
          SO MUCH OF IT. 
          UM, I THINK THAT'LL BE A HUGE PLUS RIGHT NOW, PARTICULARLY THAT WE'RE IN A CRITICAL HOUSING SHORTAGE. 
          UM, I THINK THE PROGRESS THAT YOU'VE MADE ON BOTH THE BRIDGE, UM, AND THE TERMINAL ROAD CONNECTIONS ARE TO BE VERY HIGHLY COMMENDED. 
          UM, GIVEN ALL OF THE OBSTACLES THAT, UM, HAVE STOOD BETWEEN MULTIPLE, UH, PROPONENTS THE CITY AND, AND THIS ACTUAL, AND YOU GUYS, AND THIS ACTUALLY BEING ACCOMPLISHED. 
          SO, UM, MY KUDOS TO YOU AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 'CAUSE YOU'RE DOING GREAT, BUT YOU'RE NOT DONE. 
          SO KEEP AT IT. 
          UM, I ALSO, UM, APPLAUD THE TDM MEASURES. 
          I THINK, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE VERY THOROUGH, VERY STRINGENT. 
          UM, I WAS HAPPY TO SEE THE INTERIM, UM, UH, RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONCORD AVENUE, PARTICULARLY THINGS LIKE THE BUS SHELTERS. 
          'CAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW, MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WILL BE TAKING THE BUSES AND IT'S, I THINK IMPORTANT TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, FAIRLY REASONABLY SIZED AND COVERED BUS SHELTERS ALL ALONG THAT STRETCH. 
          UM, I ALSO AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE ONGOING COMMUNITY PROCESS THAT, UM, THAT YOU'VE PROPOSED. 
          UM, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BRING EVEN MORE VITALITY, UM, AND, UH, TO THAT AREA, NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE TYPES OF USES, BUT BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, UM, AND THE SORT OF MESHING OF THE TWO, YOU KNOW, MEETING THE NEED AND GETTING PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S GONNA BE THERE FOR THEM. 
          UM, SO, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE MANY YEARS TO GO TILL WE HIT THE, UH, THE END OF THE BUILD OUT TIMELINE, AND I DOUBT SOME OF US WILL BE HERE TO SEE IT. 
          BUT, UM, IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT WE ARE, YOU KNOW, EMBARKING ON THE, THAT FIRST PHASE FINALLY AFTER SO, SO MANY YEARS. 
          SO, UM, I AM, UH, PREPARED TO GIVE THE, UH, UH, FINAL DETERMINATION A POSITIVE VOTE THIS EVENING. 
          UM, THAT'S IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU MARIAN. 
          SOMEBODY ELSE? ASHLEY. 
          THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          UM, SO YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PROPONENT. 
          UM, I'M SURE IT SEEMS LIKE YOU GUYS DID A LOT OF HARD WORK OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND ALSO TO THE CITY STAFF. 
          I KNOW YOU GUYS WORKED REALLY, REALLY HARD THE LAST FEW MONTHS TOO. 
          SO, UM, IT'S, IT, IT'S A REALLY REASSURING TO BE HERE TONIGHT AND SEE BOTH THE MODEL AND ALSO A LOT MORE REFINED AND DETAILED PLANS. 
          I THINK LAST TIME, JUST A LACK OF DETAIL WAS, AND, UM, I GUESS THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE HASHED OUT, SO IT WAS MORE CONCERNING. 
          BUT, UH, I'M GLAD ABOUT THE NUMBER OR THE AMOUNT OF NEIGHBORHOOD USES ON NEW MAIN STREET. 
          I THINK THAT WOULD REALLY HELP WITH TRAFFIC AND JUST ENLIVENING THIS AREA, WHICH THIS AREA REALLY NEEDS. 
          UM, REALLY APPRECIATE THE NEW, I THINK ARE CALLED MICRO FIELDS. 
          UM, WE, I, WE HAD LIKE A TOUR OF THE AREA A FEW YEARS AGO AND I VIVIDLY REMEMBER RANDOM FAMILIES PLAYING SOCCER WITH THEIR CHILDREN IN FRONT OF LAB BUILDINGS BECAUSE THERE'S NO PLACE TO PLAY. 
          AND SO I'M EXCITED TO SEE THAT, UM, THERE WILL BE AREAS WHERE, UH, FAMILIES WHO MOVE INTO THESE BUILDINGS CAN EN ENJOY. 
          AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR, YOU KNOW, LOOKING MORE CAREFULLY AT THE TDM MEASURES. 
          YOU KNOW, THIS IS A HUGE NUMBER OF PARKING AND THAT ARE ALL GOING THROUGH BASICALLY ONE ROAD, WHICH TODAY ON PLAN LOOKS A LITTLE SHOCKING BECAUSE, UH, CONCORD DOESN'T, DOESN'T SEEM  TO HAVE THAT MANY LANES. 
          UM, AND SO SAY AT THE TDM MEASURES GIVES US THAT REASSURANCE THAT HOPEFULLY AS TIME GOES ON, THERE'LL BE LESS PARKING, UM, LESS CROWDING ON CONCORD. 
          AND, UM, TO THAT POINT, I WAS GOING TO POINT OUT, UM, I KNOW IN THE, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT'S CALLED, THAT THE DOT MEMO, THERE WAS A POINT ABOUT, UM, I THINK IT WAS LIKE AROUND $2 MILLION OF A CONTRIBUTION TO THE CITY FOR STUDYING CONCORD AVE TO BE, I THINK IT WAS TO BE, UM, I THINK IT WAS CONDITIONED AT THE FIRST OR MAYBE THE FINAL CONDITION CON OR CEO OF THE FIRST COMMERCIAL BUILDING, SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. 
          BUT, UH, I GUESS ONE SUGGESTION I HAD WAS MAYBE TO 
          [02:30:01]
TIE THAT TO INSTEAD OF THE FINAL SEAL IN CASE, YOU KNOW, THERE IS NEVER A TENANT OR, YOU KNOW, IT'S FIVE YEARS OR 10 YEARS LATER WHERE THERE'S A TENANT. 
          SO MAYBE TIE IT TO THE FIRST CEO SO THAT WE CAN, THE CITY CAN ACTUALLY GET THE FUNDS TO START STUDYING CONCORD AVE. 
          SO THAT'S ONE SUGGESTION I HAD. 
          UM, AND THEN I'M GLAD TO HEAR THERE'S BEEN TALKS OF EVERY SOURCE ABOUT TERMINAL ROAD. 
          I THINK THAT'LL BE GREAT AND JUST AN ENCOURAGEMENT TO PLEASE CONTINUE WITH THAT CONVERSATION. 
          I THINK THAT'LL BE GREATLY NEEDED, ESPECIALLY IF THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE CANNOT HAPPEN FOR WHO KNOWS HOW MANY YEARS. 
          UM, AND LASTLY, I ACTUALLY WAS HOPING TO SEE MORE ON THE LIST OF NEIGHBORHOOD USES. 
          I GUESS ANOTHER ANECDOTE WAS, UM, I STILL REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO, A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE SAME TEAM HAD TO COME AND TRY TO TELL US TO, UM, PERMIT A OR ALLOW A ICE CREAM STORE. 
          AND, WHICH SEEMS LIKE A RIDICULOUS THING THAT YOU GUYS HAVE TO COME FOR AN AMENDMENT TO DO THAT. 
          SO, AND I GUESS MY THOUGHT WAS, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT COULD BE ADDED TO THIS LIST OF NEIGHBORHOOD USES NOW. 
          UM, AND I, THE LIST SEEMED SHORTER THAN USUAL. 
          I THINK THEY WERE TRYING TO BE BROAD, BUT, YOU KNOW, IF THERE IS A WAY TO INCLUDE GROCERIES, UM, PHARMACIES, DAYCARES, AND I KNOW THERE ARE LIKE VET DAYCARES AROUND THE AREA, OR EVEN JUST EXPER, WHAT ARE THEY CALLED, LIKE THE SEA, UM, BARS AND SEAPORT WHERE THEY HAVE, OR EXPERIMENTAL OR EXPERIENTIAL USES. 
          UM, ANYTHING TO, SO THAT FOR YOUR, UM, FOR THE PROPONENT'S SAKE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SO MANY TRIPS BACK TO THE PLANNING BOARD, I THINK THAT WOULD BE GOOD. 
          AND ALSO, UM, GIVE THE PROPONENT MORE WAYS TO ADD LIFE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          SO THAT'S JUST ANOTHER SUGGESTION AS WELL. 
          BUT OTHERWISE, SAME WITH, UM, MARY AND DEFINITELY IN SUPPORT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU ASHLEY DIEGO. 
          UM, I JUST REITERATE APPRECIATION. 
          THIS AMAZING PROJECT THAT Y'ALL PUT TOGETHER AND ANSWERING ALL THE QUESTIONS IN THE STAFF MEMOS. 
          IT'S REALLY HARD TO, YOU KNOW, THINK OF QUESTIONS. 
          I MEAN, YOUR MECHANISMS FOR PARKING ARE REALLY AMAZING. 
          I THINK IT'S, IT'S GREAT TO SEE THEM GO DOWN, RIGHT, UM, UH, TO MARY LY DECKER'S POINT OF OPEN SPACE, AND I AGREE WITH IT. 
          UM, BUT I ACTUALLY FELT THE SAME WAY ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURE. 
          I WAS REALLY JUST, I MEAN, I THINK IT SAYS SOMETHING THAT, IT MAKES ME EXCITED TO SEE THE DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS FOR ALL OF THESE BUILDINGS AND SEE SOME OF THE COMMENTS LIKE THE BUILDING R TWO WITH BEND PARK AND SEE HOW THAT COMES TOGETHER TO FORM THE SPACE THAT CONNECTS TO THE MAIN STREET. 
          UM, I THINK THAT'S, I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. 
          I'M HOPING THAT WE GET SOME REALLY UNIQUE ARCHITECTURE, SOME GREAT ART PIECES THAT MAKE SOME OF THESE SPACES MORE ALIVE AND PART OF THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, I THINK I, I, I AGREE WITH LIKE APPROVING EVERYTHING. 
          THE, THE ONLY THING I'M NOT SURE OF RIGHT NOW, I DIDN'T SEE TOO MUCH. 
          I HEARD SOMEONE MENTION THE SENIOR HOUSING WAS THE UNIT COUNTS. 
          I, I HOPE THERE'S A LOT OF DIVERSITY IN UNIT COUNTS, A LOT OF THREE BEDROOMS, STUDIOS, UH, INTERGENERATIONAL HOUSING. 
          I THINK ANYTIME THAT'S PART OF A DEVELOPMENT OR A BUILDING, IT'S REALLY SUCCESSFUL. 
          UM, BUT YEAH. 
          UH, THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU DIEGO. 
          CAROLYN, THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          UM, AND WE'RE ALL GONNA SAY THIS PROBABLY, BUT THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR ALL OF THE ITERATING. 
          UM, I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE PUT INTO IT. 
          THANK YOU TO THE CITY STAFF FOR ALL OF THE WORK THAT YOU ALL HAVE PUT INTO IT. 
          I DON'T, I THINK FOR ME, THIS IS THE FIRST PROJECT THAT WE'VE GOTTEN A MEMO FROM AS MANY DEPARTMENTS AS WE HAVE. 
          UM, BUT THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL. 
          SO THANK YOU. 
          UM, UM, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK ON THE DISTRICT ENERGY. 
          I HOPE THAT HAPPENS AT TELL A 10, MAKE THEM MAKE IT HAPPEN. 
          UM, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE PROPOSED REDUCTION IN PARKING. 
          I REALLY HOPE THAT HAPPENS AS WELL. 
          UM, AND, AND ALL THE LITTLE SHIFTS TO THE, TO THE SITE PLAN. 
          I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE, HAVE REALLY, UM, IMPROVED IT FROM THE LAST TIME WE SAW IT. 
          UM, I, MARY, UM, HAD SOME GREAT POINTS ABOUT THE OPEN SPACE. 
          I, THAT'S, I WAS TRYING, SHE WAS MUCH MORE ELOQUENT THAN I WAS, BUT THAT WAS ESSENTIALLY WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET AT WITH MY CONCERN ABOUT THE, UM, OPEN SPACE IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT. 
          IT DOESN'T FEEL IMPACTFUL ENOUGH OR, UM, PUBLIC AND SPECIAL AND, AND SPECIAL ENOUGH FOR THIS AMAZING SITE. 
          UM, AND I , I I HAD THE SAME COMMENT, NOT TO PUT BUILDINGS OR SHADE STRUCTURES IN THE PARKS, UM, UH, TREES AND NATURAL SHADE IS A BIG PART OF RESILIENCY, RIGHT? AND WE NEED THE SITE TO HAVE, I KNOW THERE YOU'VE ESSENTIALLY NEED 
          [02:35:01]
TO GET RID OF A LOT OF MATURE TREES. 
          UM, BUT TO WHATEVER DEGREE YOU CAN REPLANT MATURE TREES, UM, AND, AND REALLY HAVE TREES PROVIDE THAT SHADE WOULD BE GREAT. 
          UM, THE ONLY OTHER COMMENT THAT I HAD WAS THAT THE DESIGN, THE NOTE IN THE CONDITIONS, I THINK SAYS THAT DESIGN REVIEW APPROVAL IS PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS. 
          I ENCOURAGE YOU TO COME SOONER THAN LATER. 
          UM, BUILDING PERMITS IS PRETTY LATE IN THE DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS. 
          UM, SO IF YOU'RE SEEKING APPROVALS, SOONER IS BETTER THAN LATER, IN MY OPINION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU TED. 
          WELL, I TOO APPLAUD ALL THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE BY THE PROPONENTS AND ALL OF THEIR EXPERTS AND ALL, EVERYBODY ON THE CITY DEPARTMENTS. 
          I MEAN, I THINK YOU'VE REALLY DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB. 
          UM, UH, YOU KNOW, I, IT IT IT'S DIFFICULT TO CREATE A NEIGHBORHOOD AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO. 
          AND, UH, FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, WHAT WHAT WILL BE SIGNIFICANT IS WHAT YOU CAN PUT IN THE PUBLIC SPACES. 
          YOU KNOW, IF THERE ARE MARKETS, IF THERE ARE BARBER SHOPS, IF THERE ARE PLACES FOR PEOPLE TO GO TO, TO BUY PHARMACIES AND DOING THINGS SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO CROSS FRESH POND AND GO TO THE THE SHOPPING CENTER. 
          UH, I AM LESS CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF LARGER OPEN SPACES GIVEN THE PROXIMITY OF, UH, FRESH POND AND RAFFERTY PARK AND DANEE PARK. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS SOMEBODY WHO GREW UP IN A ROW HOUSE WHERE OUR PLAYGROUND WAS THE CONCRETE DRIVEWAY IN THE BACK WHERE THE BATUM IS PLAYGROUND AT MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. 
          UM, SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, FOR, UH, CLIMATE CHANGE, WHAT WE REALLY NEED IS THE TREES AND THE SHADE. 
          AND I'M LESS CON, I I THINK KIDS WILL FIND A WAY, AND I HOPE THERE ARE A LOT OF KIDS HERE. 
          AND I HOPE THE ISSUE I WAS JUST, JUST DISCUSSING WITH DIEGO IS WHERE ARE THEY GONNA WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL? UM, WHICH I THINK WILL BE AN INTERESTING ISSUE FOR THE CITY IF INDEED YOU GET 2300, YOU KNOW, UNITS AND YOU GET A NUMBER OF KIDS, UM, BUT I, I THINK KIDS WILL FIND A WAY TO PLAY THERE OR, OR GO SOMEPLACE WHERE THEY CAN PLAY. 
          IN ADDITION TO THE, THE, THE, THE AREAS HERE, UH, I OF COURSE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE BRIDGE TOMORROW. 
          UM, BUT I AM REALLY DELIGHTED AT WHAT THE SECRETARY'S LETTER SAYS AND DELIGHTED TO HEAR THAT TERMINAL ROAD. 
          UH, EVERSOURCE SEEMS TO BE COMMITTED TO SOMETHING THERE TOO. 
          I THINK THEY WILL REALLY HELP MAKE THIS, UM, YOU KNOW, I WAS, UH, IN INVOLVED CAMBRIDGE CROSSING LATE IN THE DAY, AND WHEN THEY BUILT THE PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE BRIDGE OVER THERE, IT WAS LIKE, OH, NOW I UNDERSTAND IT. 
          THIS REALLY CAN WORK. 
          PEOPLE WILL WANNA LIVE HERE AND WORK IN THE NORTH END OR SOMEPLACE ELSE IN DOWNTOWN BOSTON. 
          AND I THINK THE BRIDGE AND TERMINAL ROADS EXTENSION WILL REALLY BE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THAT HERE. 
          UM, WE, WE KNOW HOW TERRIBLE IT IS TO DRIVE ON FRESH POND PARKWAY AT SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE DAY. 
          AND CONCORD, AVA IS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TOO. 
          BUT IF WE WANNA SEE THIS DEVELOPED, UH, YOU KNOW, IT, IT, IT, IT'S, IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE, UM, YOU KNOW, E EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND THE, THE PLANS FOR CONCORD TO HAVE SEEM TO BE A GOOD PLAN. 
          UH, AND WHO KNOWS WHERE WE ARE 20, 30 YEARS FROM NOW IN TERMS OF VEHICLES AND SIZE OF VEHICLES AND WHAT PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AND WHAT PERSONAL, UH, THINGS THEY'RE USING. 
          UM, SO I'M, YOU KNOW, REALLY QUITE CONTENT WITH WHAT'S HERE. 
          UM, I, I THINK WITH THE PARKING GARAGES, UM, IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU COULD PUT THINGS ON THE, THE ROOFS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I KNOW PLACES WHERE THEY'VE GOT TENNIS COURTS OR MAYBE PICKLEBALL COURTS OR, UH, EVEN GRASS FOR KIDS TO GO UP THERE AND RUN AROUND AND DO THINGS. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE, UH, AGAIN, DOWN IN, IN KENDALL, THE, THE PUBLIC GARDEN UP ON THE ROOF IS A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD FACILITY AND A GREAT PLACE TO GO. 
          AND SO 
          [02:40:01]
IF SOME THINGS LIKE THAT CAN HAPPEN HERE, I KNOW IN YOUR COMMENTS YOU SAY, WELL, IT'S DIFFICULT BOTH IN TERMS OF COST AND STRUCTURE, UH, BUT MAYBE THERE ARE THINGS THAT CAN BE PUT UP THAT AREN'T THAT ONEROUS FROM YOUR POINT OF VIEW THAT WOULD REALLY HELP MAKE THIS A, A, A NEIGHBORHOOD AND A PLACE FOR PEOPLE TO CONGREGATE. 
          UM, BUT I'M REALLY QUITE CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND WHAT THE CITY HAS DONE TOO. 
          AND SO I, I CONGRATULATE YOU FOR THAT, AND I HOPE I'M AROUND TO SEE SOME OF IT COME TO FRUITION, DAN. 
          SURE. 
          UM, JUST A VERY FEW COMMENTS. 
          SO, UH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UM, I THINK AS A DEVELOPMENT AND URBAN DESIGN FRAMEWORK, UM, THIS SATISFIES ME AND, UH, I THINK WORKS REMARKABLY WELL, UM, AS MY BOARD MEMBERS HAVE POINTED OUT. 
          THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL GET TO THOSE WHEN WE GET TO THEM. 
          UM, JUST I THINK SUPPORTING A COUPLE OF PIECES, UM, THE ACTIVATION, THE, THE USES THAT ASHLEY MENTIONED IS GONNA BE ENORMOUSLY IMPORTANT, WHETHER IT'S, UH, RESTAURANTS OR MOVIE THEATERS OR THINGS THAT REALLY MAKE THIS A VIBRANT PLACE. 
          THE BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE LANDSCAPE AND, AND RECREATION IS ALSO IMPORTANT. 
          AND I, I, I DO, UM, SIDE WITH MARY A. LITTLE BIT THAT RIGHT NOW IT FEELS FRAGMENTED, BUT I THINK IT'S BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY CONTROL WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL. 
          SO WHAT I WOULD ENCOURAGE ON THAT FRONT IS THE KIND OF COLLABORATIVE, UM, CONVERSATIONS YOU'VE BEEN HAVING WITH THE BUTS PROPERTIES TURN OVER, THINGS CAN HAPPEN JOINTLY. 
          THERE'S THIS SETS A, UM, A PRECEDENT AND A CATALYST FOR MAYBE, UM, MORE COHESIVE LANDSCAPE TO HAPPEN, UM, POSSIBLY MM-HMM . 
          UM, OTHERWISE, UH, I THINK THAT THE DISTRICT ENERGY PIECE IS ENORMOUSLY IMPORTANT, UM, FROM A SUSTAINABILITY PART, FROM A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT IN VIABILITY. 
          SO I REALLY WANT TO, UM, TO SEE HOW THE CITY MIGHT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THAT, HOW THE BOARD CAN SUPPORT THAT, HOW THAT CAN FIT INTO YOUR PLANS. 
          UM, OTHERWISE, UM, VERY SATISFIED WITH IT AND HAPPY TO, TO, UH, TO VOTE AND SUPPORT. 
          THANK YOU, DAN. 
          SO I GUESS THAT, OH, MARY, PLEASE TAKE ANOTHER SWING. 
          I'M A BIG FAN OF THE FOLLOW-UP COMMENT. 
          UM, , I DID WANNA RECOGNIZE, I, I REALLY LIKE THE WAY THAT THE, I KNOW IT'S PRELIMINARY, BUT THE DESIGN OF THE PED BRIDGE, I THINK EVEN FROM A STARTING POINT, I'VE DONE PED BRIDGES OVER, OVER RAILS. 
          IF YOU CAN STAY WITH THAT KIND OF INDUSTRIAL VIBE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD, I FEEL LIKE IT'S MUCH MORE RESILIENT TO ALL THE REQUIREMENTS YOU'RE GONNA GET. 
          BUT ALSO IT REALLY SPEAKS TO THE INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE OF THIS SITE. 
          SO TO ME, THAT FELT, WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST TIME, THE PLACE MAKING THAT FEELS LIKE IT'S OF THIS PLACE. 
          AND I'M HOPING THAT THAT CAN KIND OF DRIFT MORE AND MORE INTO, UM, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING ELSE AS IT COMES BACK. 
          'CAUSE I THINK AS EVERYONE SAID, IT'S LIKE EVERY PIECE WILL COME BACK, SO WE'LL GET THESE CHANCES TO REVIEW IT. 
          UM, THE OTHER THING I WANNA CLARIFY IS I THINK THE OPEN SPACE IS FRAGMENTED, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT MEANS THEY'RE TOO SMALL. 
          I THINK IT JUST MEANS EACH OF THEM HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE AN IDENTITY, RIGHT? LIKE GATEWAY PARK, THAT COULD BE LIKE A DESTINATION PLAYGROUND, THE SORT OF THING PEOPLE DRIVE TO IN CAMBRIDGE TO SPEND HALF A DAY. 
          UM, THE ONE UP, AND THIS IS THE MOST CHALLENGING, THE UPPER WEST NORTHWEST, THAT'S REALLY HARD BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALL OFFICES AROUND. 
          AND YOU KNOW WHAT WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT TODAY? THERE ARE PEOPLE OTHER THAN RESIDENCES, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING HERE. 
          AND AS WE ALL KNOW, ESPECIALLY WITH LAB-BASED DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WE WANT YOU TO GET BACK TO, YOU KNOW, BUT THE MARKET, THE PUBLIC REALM CAN BE A VALUE DRIVER, RIGHT? PEOPLE WANT TO BE IN A SPACE WHERE THEY CAN GO OUTSIDE AND WORK TOGETHER. 
          WE KNOW KENDALL SQUARE, CAMBRIDGE CROSSING, WE HAVE THE BEST PRECEDENCE FOR THAT. 
          AND SO THIS IS WHERE THERE'S THIS, BUT WE ALL SEE IT. 
          IT'S LIKE THIS BACK AREA AND YOU'RE KIND OF LIKE, WELL, HOW IS THAT THE NEXT KENDALL SQUARE? OR SOMETHING LIKE, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO GET IT TO BE. 
          UM, IF ZONING WAS NOTHING, I'D SAY MAKE TWO OF THOSE BUILDINGS TALLER. 
          MAKE THE C FIVE AND C SIX SHORTER FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S UP TO THE CITY. 
          UM, BUT I THINK THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M GETTING AT, IS LET THE SPACES HAVE A VISION. 
          'CAUSE I THINK YOU'LL GET PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DEVELOP IT, YOU KNOW, LIKE, OR WANT TO BUY INTO THAT MORE EXCITED ABOUT THEM. 
          UM, AND THE DOG PARK ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE, UM, PARKING LOT, P ONE, I DON'T KNOW. 
          IT'S SO FAR FROM THE RESIDENCES, IT'S, UH, I DON'T KNOW, BUT, BUT YOU DO NEED DOG PARKS. 
          YOU WILL NEED DOG PARKS. 
          SO THAT'S MY FOLLOW UP. 
          THANK YOU. 
          GREAT. 
          SO I GUESS IT'S MY TURN. 
          UM, I, I JOINED MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS IN THANKING, UH, THE PROPONENT AND STAFF AND ACTUALLY MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS AS WELL, FOR THEIR PERSEVERANCE HERE. 
          I DID NOT 
          [02:45:01]
ATTEND THE LAST HEARING, BUT JUST FOR THE RECORD, I DID WATCH PLANNING BOARD TV FOR THREE HOURS, 22 MINUTES AND 56 SECONDS . 
          UM, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU ALL LOOK MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN REAL LIFE THAN YOU DO ON A LAPTOP, UM, IN MY LIVING ROOM. 
          SO, UM, I'M DEEPLY ENMESHED IN THE DETAILS OF WHAT WE'VE SEEN TONIGHT. 
          NOW ALSO, UH, WITH SOME HUMILITY, WE'RE PROJECTING FORWARD UPWARDS OF 30 YEARS, UH, TRYING TO IMAGINE A FUTURE. 
          AND, UH, I DON'T WANT, DON'T FEEL LIKE WE CAN DICTATE IT IN TOO GREAT DETAIL. 
          WE WILL HAVE DESIGN REVIEW FOR EACH OF THE BUILDINGS AND ALSO THE PARKING GARAGES IN LIGHT OF PUBLIC COMMENT AND CORRESPONDENCE, UH, FROM NEIGHBORS AND ABUTTERS TO SOME OF THOSE GARAGES. 
          UM, UH, I KNOW IT'S TOUGH TO BE LOOKING AT THIS PROPOSAL, BUT, UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT A FUTURE WHICH MIGHT HAVE A, A, A RAPID TRANSIT STOP HERE, WHICH WOULD MAKE PARKING REDUNDANT. 
          AND SO WHO KNOWS WHAT SIZE THAT, THAT GARAGE MAY BE. 
          I WILL ALSO, UM, UH, NOTE THAT, UH, MR. MEN, FREDDY ON THE RECORD, AT LEAST IN THE VIDEO, SAID THAT, UH, HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE GARAGES THAT HE CONSIDERS THE GARAGES TO BE ARCHITECTURE AND REAL BUILDINGS. 
          AND, UM, UH, I HOPE HE'S STILL HERE IN 30 YEARS TO DESIGN THEM. 
          UM, BUT THAT IS, I WOULD CONSIDER, UH, PART OF THE RECORD HERE, THAT THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THOSE WILL BE HIGH QUALITY, UH, BUILDINGS AND SENSITIVE TO, UH, THE NEEDS OF THEIR ABUTTERS. 
          UM, YOU LISTENED, UM, BASED ON THAT DETAILED REVIEW OF THE LAST HEARING YOU LISTENED IN THAT IT, I, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THAT THESE ARE LONG AND DIFFICULT HEARINGS, AND YOU WONDER WHETHER ALL THE EFFORT IS WORTH IT AND GET THE ECHO AND THE REFLECTION BACK FROM A PROPONENT THAT, UM, UH, STRUCTURES IS HOLD PRESENTATION ON THE WAYS IN WHICH THE PLAN HAS EVOLVED BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM STAFF AND US, UM, UH, IS, UH, IS WONDERFUL. 
          IT'S A VERIFICATION OF THE PROCESS THAT SO MANY OF US SPEND A LOT OF TIME, UH, WORKING ON. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          UM, UH, DESIGN REVIEW COMES NEXT, YES, BUT TO, UM, MARY LIE DECKER'S PLEA ABOUT THE OPEN SPACE, I'LL TELL THIS STORY. 
          THE PLANNING BOARD, UH, FROM TIME TO TIME, UH, IS HOSTED BY STAFF TO GO LOOK AT DISTRICTS WHERE WE'VE HAD, UM, UH, THE ABILITY TO SHAPE THEM. 
          AND, UH, PLANET PREVIOUS ITERATIONS OF THE PLANNING BOARD PROBABLY WEREN'T AS HARSH OR AS APPOINTED IN THEIR DESIGN REVIEW AS PERHAPS THIS BOARD IS. 
          BUT, UM, SO THE QUALITY OF THE BUILDINGS WERE QUESTIONABLE, BUT THIS WAS UP AND ALEWIFE. 
          UM, BUT THE DISTRICT IS MAGNIFICENT AND FOR, UH, AND SOMETHING TO BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF. 
          AND, UH, A BIG PART OF THAT IS THE AMOUNT OF TREES, UH, THAT ARE PLANTED IN AND AROUND WITH SOME BUILDINGS, WHICH ARE, YOU KNOW, FOR GOOD REASON ARE NOT AGING THAT WELL OR, UM, UH, WERE BUILT RAPIDLY. 
          AND, UH, THE TREES SEEM TO SOLVE EVERYTHING. 
          SO, UH, DON'T PUT MORE BUILDINGS IN THE OPEN SPACE PLANT A LOT, A LOT, A LOT OF TREES. 
          BOTH CAROLYN AND MARY I KNOW ARE WITH ME ON THAT. 
          SO I HAVE NO ISSUE. 
          I THINK THE, UH, THE, UH, PUD PROPOSAL BEFORE US, UH, SETS THE GROUNDWORK FOR WHAT WILL BE A VERY, VERY SUCCESSFUL EXTENSION OF THIS MAGNIFICENT CITY. 
          NOW, UM, THAT SAID, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS. 
          UH, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF WORK TO DO BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA MAKE FINDINGS, UM, AND YOU'LL HAVE TO BEAR WITH ME. 
          I'M GONNA READ, UH, OUT OF THE STAFF MEMO, UH, AND I'LL ASK YOU FROM TIME TO TIME WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH, UH, UH, WHETHER WE CAN MAKE THE FINDINGS ON THOSE SECTIONS. 
          UM, SO I'LL DO THAT. 
          I WILL ALSO, UM, UH, GET TO THE CONDITIONS AS WELL. 
          UM, AND I'M PRESUMING I'M FEELING A CONSENSUS THAT THERE'S, WE'RE MOVING TOWARDS A MOTION TO GRANT, UM, UH, THE PUD, UM, HERE TONIGHT. 
          SO, UH, THERE'S CONSENSUS I THINK, AROUND THAT SENTIMENT. 
          SO WITH NO FURTHER ADO, I'M GOING TO, UH, READ, UM, THE FOLLOWING. 
          IN ORDER TO GRANT THE SPECIAL PERMITS, THE BOARD WILL NEED TO MAKE, FIND THAT THE PROPOSAL MEETS THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA, UM, THAT THE PU DEEP DEVELOPMENT PLAN CONTAINS THE MODIFICATIONS OR IMPROVEMENTS REQUESTED IN THE PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION THAT IT CONTINUES TO MEET THE CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION. 
          CONFORMS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT CONTROLS IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE 
          [02:50:01]
CONFORMS WITH ADOPTED POLICY PLANS OR DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES FOR THE AREA, AND PROVIDES BENEFITS TO THE CITY WHICH OUTWEIGH ITS ADVERSE EFFECTS. 
          DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY MAKING THAT, FINDING NO ONE INDICATES SUCH. 
          SECONDLY, THE PROPOSAL SUPPORTS THE PURPOSE OF A OD DASH Q, DISTRICT C APPENDIX, AND THE ZONING TAX EXPERT EXCERPTS IS GENERALLY CONSISTENT WITH THE VISION AND GOALS OF ENVISION ALEWIFE DISTRICT PLAN OF 2019, AND THE PRINCIPLES OF THE ALEWIFE ZONING WORKING GROUP OF 2023. 
          IT IS IN GENERAL CONFORMANCE WITH THE ALEWIFE DESIGN GUIDELINES OF 2023 AND THE CITYWIDE URBAN DESIGN OBJECTIVES IN SECTION 19.30 OF THIS ZONING ORDINANCE, AND ADVANCES THE INTENT OF THOSE GUIDELINES AS EVERYBODY, UH, FEELING THEY CAN MAKE THAT FINDING EVERYBODY INDICATES SUCH THAT THE PHASING PLAN ENSURES THE DISTRICT PURPOSE WILL BE MET WITHOUT DEVELOPMENT, PROVIDING USES AND PUBLIC BENEFITS IN A BALANCED MANNER. 
          CAN WE MAKE THAT FINDING? YES. 
          THE USES TO BE EXEMPTED ARE LOCATED AND DESIGNED IN A WAY TO ENSURE LONG-TERM ADHERENCE TO THE PURPOSE OF A OD DASH Q DISTRICT. 
          YES, THAT THE PROVISIONS OF PARKING IN A POOLED FACILITY, ONE ADVANCES RELEVANT OBJECTIVES OF  DISTRICT PLAN TWO AIDS IN IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFECTIVE TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT MEASURES TO REDUCE DEPENDENCE ON THE SINGLE OCCUPANCY AUTOMOBILE. 
          THREE IS APPROPRIATELY LOCATED TO SERVE THE DEVELOPMENT, AND FOUR IS WELL DESIGNED AND NOT DIMINISHED THE PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY QUALITY OF THE AREA AROUND IT, CONSISTENT WITH THE ALEWIFE DESIGN GUIDELINES. 
          CAN WE MAKE THAT FINDING? YES. 
          THE PURPOSE PROPOSED WAIVER TO OFF STREET LOADING REQUIREMENTS ALLOWS DESIGN AND USE THAT REDUCES THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF LOADING ACTIVITIES ON THE PUBLIC REALM. 
          CAN WE MAKE THAT FINDING? YES. 
          THE LOCATION AND FUNCTION OF THE MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE COMPONENTS SUPPORTS THE VISION OF THE ALEWIFE DISTRICT PLAN AND WILL BE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER. 
          MAKE THAT FINDING THE PROJECT WILL HAVE NO SUBSTANTIAL ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE CITY TRAFFIC WITHIN THIS STUDY AREA. 
          UPON REVIEW OF THE TRAFFIC IMPACT INDICATORS ANALYZED IN THE TRANSPORTATION IMPACT STUDY AND MITIGATION EFFORTS PROPOSED, THEN THE, AND THAT THE PROJECT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE URBAN DESIGN OBJECTIVES OF THE CITY IS SET FORTH IN SECTION 19.3 0.0, UM, IN THE, IN OUR ORDINANCE. 
          UH, AND WE CAN MAKE THAT FINDING THAT NEIGHBORHOOD USES THAT ARE PROVIDED IN LOCATIONS THAT ARE NOT AT THE GROUND STORY OR HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO A PUBLIC SIDEWALK OR OPEN SPACE ARE PROPOSED AT A LOCATION THAT BETTER SERVES THE INTENT OF THE APPLICABLE ZONING FOR INTENDED USE. 
          THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A COMPLICATED ONE COMING AT THE 11TH HOUR, JEFF MADE ME AWARE OF, UH, UH, LET ME SEE IF I CAN GET THIS RIGHT. 
          UM, THERE IS AN EXISTING HEALTHCARE USE ON THE SITE, UM, IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THAT WE NEED TO MAKE THIS FINDING. 
          AND MAYBE JUST BRIEFLY, COUNSELOR, IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. 
          YOU DID A VERY GOOD JOB. 
          THIS IS SPECIFICALLY 7 25 CONCORD AVE, WHICH I'M A PATRON OF A VERY POPULAR GENERAL OFFICE BUILDING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT RESIDENTS HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT MAINTAINING, NOT JUST AT, AT GROUND FLOOR, MEDICAL, MEDICAL, EXCUSE ME, BUT AT EVERY FLOOR, UM, IT'S PRIMARY CARE, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, A VERY, UM, WELL-RESPECTED AND IMPORTANT, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD USE. 
          IT ISN'T ALLOWED NEIGHBORHOOD USE. 
          WE'RE NOT COUNTING THAT BUILDING TOWARDS OUR 3% REQUIREMENT, BUT BECAUSE THERE ARE ABOVE GRADE NEIGHBORHOOD USES, WE NEED A FINDING THAT THOSE USES ABOVE GRADE WOULD BE CONSIDERED PART OF OUR OVERALL NEIGHBORHOOD USES NOT, NOT AS PART OF THE 3% REQUIREMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          ARE WE COMFORTABLE MAKING THAT FINDING AS BEEN DESCRIBED? EVERYBODY INDICATES SUCH THAT THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT IN ALL RELEVANT BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED TO MEET THE INTENT OF THE STANDARDS IN A MANNER MORE SUITABLE TO THE UNIQUE CONDITIONS OF THE DEVELOPMENT PARCEL. 
          YEAH, WE CAN MAKE THAT FINDING. 
          AND LASTLY, UM, THESE ARE THE, UH, URBAN DESIGN SECTION SECTION, UH, SPECIAL PERMITS WILL BE NORMALLY GRANTED IF THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS ARE MET UNLESS IT IS FOUND NOT TO BE IN PUBLIC INTEREST DUE TO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA. 
          A, IT APPEARS THAT THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS ORDINANCE CANNOT BE OR WILL NOT BE MET, OR B, TRAFFIC GENERATED OR PATTERNS OF ACCESS AND EGRESS WOULD CAUSE 
          [02:55:01]
CONGESTION, HAZARD, OR SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE IN ESTABLISHED NA CHARACTER C THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF, OR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADJACENT USES IS PERMITTED IN THE ZONING ORDINANCE, WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE NATURE OF THE PROPOSED USE, OR D NUISANCE OR HAZARD WOULD BE CREATED TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND OR WELFARE OF THE OCCUPANT OF THE PROPOSED USE OR THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY E FOR OTHER REASONS, THE PROPOSED USE WOULD IMPAIR THE INTEGRITY OF THE DISTRICT OR ADJOINING DISTRICT OR OTHERWISE DEROGATE FROM THE INTENT OF PURPOSE OF THIS ORDINANCE. 
          AND F THE NEW USE OR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION IS CONSISTENT WITH THE URBAN DESIGN OBJECTIVES SET FORTH IN SECTION 19.30. 
          SO I THINK WE CAN MAKE THAT GENERAL SPECIAL PERMIT CRITERIA FINDING. 
          YES. 
          OKAY. 
          JEFF, HAVE I MADE THE CORRECT, THE CATALOGED ALL THE FINDINGS IN YOUR OPINION? YEAH, THOSE I, THOSE I BELIEVE ARE ALL THE FINDINGS AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE COMBINATION OF THE FINDINGS IN THE PARTICULAR DISTRICT, THE A ODQ ZONING, AS WELL AS SOME OF THE GENERAL SPECIAL PERMITS LIKE THE PROJECT REVIEW, SPECIAL PERMIT, THOSE ARE ALL COVERED IN, IN THAT SET THAT YOU READ. 
          OKAY. 
          I JUST WANT TO ASK ONE MORE TIME, DID ANY BOARD MEMBERS HAVE CONCERN IN MAKING ANY OF THOSE FINDINGS? NO ONE INDICATES SUCH. 
          OKAY. 
          THE STAFF MEMO, WE'RE GONNA GO INTO SOME CONDITIONS HERE AND WE'LL BUNDLE IT ALL IN ONE VOTE. 
          THE STAFF MEMOS CONTAIN SUGGESTED CONDITIONS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL PERMIT DECISION, AND THERE ARE ALSO STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR CONTINUING REVIEW AND CERTIFICATION BY STAFF THAT THE CONDITIONS ARE MET. 
          UM, SO THESE ARE THE BOXED ITEMS IN THE MEMO THAT WE ALL SAW. 
          RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. 
          WHOEVER THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS A GOOD WAY TO CALL 'EM OUT, I JUST WANT TO ASK THE APPLICANT, UH, IF THEY'RE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT, THEY'VE ALREADY STATED ON THE RECORD, I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THESE CONDITIONS. 
          THAT, AND THE, AND ANY FURTHER CONDITIONS THAT WERE DISCUSSED TONIGHT, OR IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DISCUSS FURTHER WITH THE BOARD, MR. CHAIR? WE ARE, AND WE DO, WE ARE, UM, OKAY WITH MEMBER TAN'S SUGGESTION ABOUT MOVING THE STUDY. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S PART OF MITIGATION, BUT JUST TO GET THAT OUTTA THE WAY WE ARE OKAY WITH THAT. 
          GREAT. 
          MR. RAFFERTY WILL, WILL HANDLE THE ICE CREAM AMENDMENT LATER. 
          I WANNA LEAVE THE COMPLICATED LEGAL MATTERS TO HIM. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, NOW BASED ON THOSE FINDINGS AND THOSE CONDITIONS, IS THERE A MOTION TO GRANT THE REQUIRED SPECIAL PERMITS? YES. 
          SORRY, TED. 
          EXCUSE ME, MR. CHAIR. 
          SO THOSE ARE THE CONDITIONS, UM, IN THE, THE DRAFT DRAFT CONDITIONS FROM STAFF, DO WE OR DO THEY ALREADY ENCOMPASS THE CONDITIONS FROM, UH, TRAFFIC AND PARKING AND FROM PUBLIC WORKS, UH, THAT WE WERE GIVEN SOME DRAFT CONDITIONS THERE TOO? I, I DON'T REMEMBER WHETHER THEY'RE ALL ENCOMPASSED IN THE STAFF MEMO. 
          UH, THIS IS EMILY HUTCHINGS. 
          NOT ALL OF THEM, PARTICULARLY IN THE DOT MEMO ARE ENCOMPASSED. 
          SO I THINK WE WOULD RECOMMEND, UH, THE ADOPTION OF THE CONDITIONS IN THE CDD MEMO, THE DOT MEMO AND THE DPW MEMO, AS WELL AS THE URBAN DESIGN, UH, APPENDIX. 
          UH, I DO ALSO WANNA NOTE THAT, UM, WE RAISED TWO, I THINK, UM, NON CONCERNING CONDITIONS, UH, RELATED TO 7 25 CONCORD A AVE. 
          JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR THAT THE ABOVE GROUND, UH, USES, NEIGHBORHOOD USES ARE, UH, ALLOWED TO BE COUNTED AS SUCH. 
          UM, AND TO NOTE THAT THAT WILL NOT IMPACT THE, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD USES THAT WILL BE ELSEWHERE ON THE SITE. 
          YEAH. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU TED. 
          WHEN I SAID STAFF, I WAS USING A, THE GRANDEST SENSE, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT. 
          THANK YOU FOR, UM, MAKING THAT CLEAR THAT, UH, ALL OF THE MEMOS FROM THE DEPARTMENTS WOULD BE INCLUDED AS CONDITIONS. 
          AND THANK YOU EMILY FOR THAT FURTHER CLARIFICATION. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, IS THERE A MOTION TO GRANT THE REQUESTED SPECIAL PERMITS WITH THOSE CONDITIONS BASED ON THE BOARD'S FINDING THE APPLICABLE PERMIT? THE SPECIAL PERMIT CRITERIA HAVE BEEN MET. 
          AND IF YOU COULD SAY YOUR NAME, UH, IF YOU'RE WILLING TO MAKE THAT MOTION. 
          THIS IS, THIS IS MARY. 
          UM, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.

          IS THAT, IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE AMENABLE TO? OKAY, SO THE APPLICANT IS AMENABLE TO THE EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE A DECISION THAT HAS BEEN REQUESTED BY THE CITY STAFF.
