[Anna Callahan]: Rapòte soti nan Baja, Meksik.
[Marie Izzo]: Èske tout bagay anfòm la? Manm Kongrè Callaghan, Vis Prezidan Collins, Manm Kongrè a Lazaro, Manm Kongrè a Laming, Manm Kongrè a Scarpelli, Manm Kongrè a Tsang, Prezidan Bear.
[Zac Bears]: Kado. Mwen remake ke manm Kongrè Collins te prezan sou Zoom. Lè li antre, nou remake prezans li. Briyan. Senk te prezan e de te absan. Yo te deklare reyinyon an louvri. 25178, soumèt pa otè.
[Alicia Hunt]: Bonswa. Alicia Hunt, Direktè Planifikasyon, Devlopman ak Dirab. Mwen avèk ou aswè a. Jan tout manm konsèy la ak pifò piblik la konnen, Medford Place te sijè a plizyè deseni rechèch, planifikasyon ak pwopozisyon. Kèk ane de sa, nou te pibliye yon RFP. Nou aktyèlman anboche yon konsiltan pou ekri RFP la. Nou te lanse yon demann pou pwopozisyon pou redevlopman pakin la isit la ak objektif pou devlope lojman ak repwodui pakin nou kontinye bezwen an, pandan n ap ajoute lojman ak kèk espas komèsyal adisyonèl nan Medford Square epi aktive pwent lakou a pou konekte otèl la ak biznis aktif nou yo. Sa a enplike nan fè plis ak pi bon itilizasyon espas pakin piblik nou yo. Nou te pale avèk ou anvan pandan komite a revize repons RFP yo. Mwen pral nonmen manm komite yo. Mwen pè mwen mal, men komite sa a te gen Prezidan Xiong, prezidan Chanm Komès la, ak yon reprezantan nan Teyat Chevalier la. Komisyonè Tim McGiven ak Chèf Estaf Nina Nazarian se manm komite a. Majistra Brianna te la, menm jan ak mwen menm ak Direktè Devlopman Ekonomik nou an. Pou analize pwopozisyon sa yo, nou te resevwa de pwopozisyon. Nou rekomande sa komite Youn nan se youn nan pwopozisyon komite sa a, Transom, kote Peter Speleos se yon direktè. Peter Speleos la avèk nou apremidi a. Nou antre nan negosyasyon ak yo pou jwenn detay sou tèks akò devlopman tè a avèk li. Nou bezwen kò sa a vote nan yon pwen pou libere pwopriyete sa a. Teknikman, yo dwe vote nan byen rezidyèl la pou fè sa rive. Kite m 'klè: Nou pa vann pwopriyete sa a. Plan an se yon kontra lwaye 99 ane. Peryòd tan sa a ase pou pwomotè a jwenn finansman pou pwopriyete a tankou si li te achte l. Nan opinyon mwen, bay pwopriyete a nan vil la jere ak kontwole kòm vil la, konpayi vini epi ale, men vil la se etènèl. Se poutèt sa, nou pral kenbe pwopriyete a alontèm men nou pral lwe l bay Transom Real Estate sou yon baz alontèm. Peter Speleos la aprèmidi a pou pataje avèk ou plan nou yo ak plan li pou pwopriyete a pandan n ap avanse ak negosyasyon pou siyen yon dokiman legal nan sans sa a. Kèk tan nan semèn kap vini yo, de mwa, nou pral bezwen kò sa a pou vote sou pwopriyete sa a ak pwopriyete ki rete a. Se konsa, nou te vle mete tout moun ajou sou sitiyasyon an epi tou pataje enfòmasyon sa a ak piblik la pou tout moun konnen ki kote bagay yo ap dirije. Nou toujou nan premye etap yo nan negosyasyon yo ak ajisteman yo ka fè, men gen yon òf. Pwopozisyon an se pou de bilding ak yon pakin machin. Mwen panse mwen pral kite rès prezantasyon an bay Pyè paske resous vizyèl li bay yo pral yon gwo èd pou konprann pwopozisyon an.
[SPEAKER_04]: Bonswa. Èske w ka tande m byen klè?
[Zac Bears]: Ah, kounye a mikwofòn mwen an limen. Padon, Peter, tanpri tann. Tout se byen. Anvan mwen admèt sa, mwen jis vle remèsye Direktè Hunter. Mwen jis vle fè remake ke majistra a ak mwen se manm ki pa vote nan komite a e mwen gen yon kesyon. Nou dwe vote pou jenere machandiz sipli. Mwen panse ke nou 100% sèten konbyen apwobasyon konsèy ou bezwen? Vote sou pwopriyete ki rete yo. Èske yo te vote kontra lwaye a tou? Èske gen nenpòt konsiderasyon dekoupaj an zòn?
[Alicia Hunt]: Se poutèt sa, pwopozisyon an ta mande anpil modifikasyon pou konsidere yo endividyèlman dapre sitiyasyon aktyèl Medford nan dekoupaj an zòn. Sa a se entansyon orijinal vil sa a Nou’n diskit lo rezoning an zeneral e i annan en konsansis zeneral ki nou bezwen rezone Medford Square. Nou swete ki ler nou re-devlop Medford Square, ki mon personnelman mon swete pou arive iver sa, sa bann batiman i kapab ganny okipe. Sinon, Komisyon Apèl Zonaj la pral pèmèt yon divèjans ki pi piti. Men, an jeneral, yo pral pèmèt yo nan zòn yo te pwopoze deja. Gen ti detay ke nou bezwen negosye, chanje oswa chèche chanje. Donk se menm bagay la. Kounye a nou ap diskite sa a kòm yon sijè separe. Sa a se dekoupaj an zòn nan tout kare a, pa sèlman twa pasèl sa yo. Si sa nesese, mwen te kapab pwopoze yon mosyon pou pwopoze sèlman twa sit sa yo kòm zòn devlopman planifye, men se pa plan aktyèl la. Plan aktyèl yo se redevlopman Medford Square An jeneral, fè sa a yon pwojè solid. Se sa. Mwen toujou ap chèche klarifikasyon nan men konsèy legal nou an pou konnen si nou bezwen City Council apwouve kontra lwaye a 99 ane paske si se yon vant, sèlman vòt City Council la ta aktyèlman yon vòt sou pwopriyete ki rete a. Se konsa, si se yon vann kareman, konsèy la pral vote ke li nan pwopriyete sipli epi vil la ka Lè sa a, vann pwopriyete a. Paske se yon kontra lwaye 99 ane Menmsi Speaker i kapab selman konklir en lagreman trwazan, nou ankor pe klarifye si vreman neseser otorizasyon pou vot lo li. Pou nou klè, mwen pa mande okenn vòt aswè a, men nou vle gen enfòmasyon devan ou pou nou gen tan pou nou reflechi ak klarifye nenpòt pwoblèm anvan nou vin vote. Men, yon twazyèm ta ka vote pou rès la. Sa a se vreman nesesè. An reyalite, sa rive souvan nan pwojè jete tè ak pwojè redevlopman ki fèt anvan menm yon pwopriyete soumèt yon RFP. Tipikman, RFP a pral di ke vil la te vote ke pwopriyete a se sipli epi li ofri li nan RFP la. Pa Medford, ki pa te vann oswa renove yon pwopriyete tankou sa a nan plis pase 15 ane. Dosye nou yo nan peryòd sa a se yon ti kras sommaire, men sanble yo te tann jiskaske RFP la vote. Anpil, pifò kominote yo, ki baze sou devlopman gwo echèl, fè yon vòt anvan yo bay yon RFP. Se konsa, pou referans sèlman.
[Zac Bears]: Mèsi. Anvan nou vire apèl la bay Peter Spelios, èske nou gen nenpòt kesyon pou Direktè Hunter? Mwen gen yon kesyon, manm Kongrè Fleming.
[Matt Leming]: Sa a se yon ti pwoblèm pwosedi. Mwen pral pwobableman yon ti kras an reta nan reyinyon sa a tou, men mwen kirye de tout fason. Kounye a nou gen yon pwopozisyon pou rezone Medford Place, ki tache ak West Medford Place pa Kominote Devlopman Kominotè. Mwen panse ke li jis yon kalite la. Ipotetikman, èske Konsèy Vil la gen otorite pou l òganize yon odyans piblik ansanm ak CBD epi answit separe pwopozisyon West Medford Square ak pwopozisyon Medford Square pandan reyinyon an epi answit voye li tounen bay Konsèy Vil la pou akselere pwosesis la si kontra a apwouve epi nou kontinye pwosesis rezonifikasyon an?
[Alicia Hunt]: Wi, donk gade de yo separeman, Konsèy Vil la ak Komite Devlopman Kominotè a ka chwazi fè yon odyans piblik ansanm pou rann sa posib. Fè yon odyans epi chwazi separe, Konsèy Vil la te kapab chwazi separe de yo, apwouve youn pandan y ap kite lòt la sou tab la. N ap travay tou ak depatman legal la pou konprann pi bon pwosesis ki pi pwòp pou avanse ak mezi dekoupaj an zòn yo ap diskite kounye a. Pa egzanp, si kèk nan rekòmandasyon sa yo te retire epi yo te resoumèt apre sa, oswa onètman, si nou ta dwe avanse ak pwopozisyon ki egziste deja pou Medford Plaza separe de West Medford, sa t ap wout ki pi rapid paske, an reyalite, li t ap toujou yon odyans piblik lejitim k ap fèt la. Komisyon Konsèy la CD ranvwaye li nan yon sèten dat. Mwen panse ke dat sa a te nan mwa janvye. Mwen panse ke komite CD a te vote e li te vle kenbe li ase lwen ke li pa ta dwe yon pwoblèm. Akòz dat limit legal yo, nou bezwen de semèn pou nou fè yon odyans piblik nan jounal la. Sa a ede fikse atant pou lè bagay yo pral rive, men nou ka rekòmanse nan dat ki an sekirite an janvye.
[Matt Leming]: Nan yon odyans piblik ansanm, èske Konsèy Vil la gen otorite pou l vote an jeneral pou separe pwoblèm sa yo epi answit konsidere yo endividyèlman nan menm odyans piblik la?
[Alicia Hunt]: Oke, nòmalman komite CD ta fè yon rekòmandasyon bay konsèy vil la. Men konsèy nou yo sou pwoblèm nan, epi nou rekòmande ou koupe yo tounen. Konsèy vil la pral vote pou retire yo epi apre sa sèlman konsèy vil la pral konsidere. Kòm pou pòsyon Medford Square la, mwen panse pou dedomajman pou senplisite mwen ta kòmanse reyinyon an pa di, se entansyon an, mwen jis reyèlman panse sou pòsyon sa a. Lè sa a, vòt la pral pran kòm yon pati nan pote pwoblèm nan ba yo. Dapre sa mwen te tande nan men konsiltan yo, li pa estraòdinè pou City Council la ak City Council fè odyans piblik ansanm sou kesyon dekoupaj an zòn.
[Zac Bears]: Mèsi. Mèsi. Kòm mwen pa wè lòt kesyon, map bay Peter la pawòl. Peter, mwen konnen ou gen yon prezantasyon ke ou ta dwe kapab pataje sou Zoom epi pran avèk ou.
[SPEAKER_04]: Eksepsyonèl. Mersi bokou Msye Chairman. Manm Konsèy, mwen jis vle asire w ke ou tande m byen klè.
[Zac Bears]: Wi nou kapab.
[SPEAKER_04]: Gwo, mèsi. Mwen tèlman kontan pou mwen la rapidman. Mwen konnen vil la ap pale de sa depi lontan e nou menm nou ap travay sou sa depi lontan, men aktyèlman an tèm de grandi kalite sa a. Devlopman an jeneral osi byen ke filozofi ak vizyon. Li toujou byen bonè e mwen panse li vrèman gwo e li merite kredi nan men nou tout ke konvèsasyon sa a ap pase pou asire ke moun yo okouran de li e ke nou gen pi bon opòtinite pou bay opinyon ak kolabore. Se konsa, mwen pral pataje ekran mwen an. Mwen pral fè yon prezantasyon relativman rapid epi mwen akeyi kesyon, men mwen reyèlman vle mennen konvèsasyon an nan kote konsèy la vle li yo. Tanpri kenbe avè m '. Tann yon ti moman. Ou ta dwe kapab wè ekran mwen an. Mwen jis vle asire w ke ou ka wè ekran mwen an, oke?
[Zac Bears]: Nou ka wè ekran ou a.
[SPEAKER_04]: Great. I'm going to put it in full screen mode to make it even better. Good evening, everyone. I'm Peter Spellios with Transom Real Estate. I'll talk a little bit at the end about Transom, but we're a Boston-based company. All the principals live and work here. We are Boston-centric. All of our projects are, if not a tea ride, a short car ride. for us all. I wanted to start by focusing really quickly on the team and in particular one, two, but one in particular member of our team. When we saw this RFP, we really, the RFP was really very well done in putting forth a vision. and making clear to anyone, whether or not you've been in Medford Square once or you've been in Medford Square a million times, that these are really important parcels. Parcels that, frankly, are important from every direction and every perspective, whether or not you're a resident living there, whether you're a business there, or you're walking through, you're driving through, no matter which direction you're coming from. And so we brought on PCA as the project architect. PCA may not be a firm that you folks know by name or is a household name, but what's really important is PCA is the architect and really the design brainchild behind a lot of very successful dynamic mixed-use projects, many of which you would know about, Legacy Place in Dedham, Chestnut Hill, Linfield Market. to name a few. We thought it was really important to bring someone who not only could do a lovely job designing a residential project, but really focus on the street level, right, that first 30 feet of a building, the one that everybody that passes by experiences, the one that adds life and vibrancy to any neighborhood. So we're excited that they're part of the team. Another team member is Beyond Walls. Some of you may be aware of Beyond Walls, which is a nonprofit, which is really specialized in public art, murals. If you've been to the city of Lynn, if you've been any number of cities in and around Boston now, you're familiar with these really incredible murals and art installations that Beyond Walls has done, working with local communities, working with local schools, working with other nonprofits to really advance art and interest, and I'll talk a little bit more about them briefly. I had already mentioned, excuse me, PCA. The most recent dynamic mixed-use village is actually just north of our border in Salem, New Hampshire by PCA, Tuscan Village. But as I mentioned, PCA was instrumental with Market Street, Linfield, the street in Chestnut Hill, and legacy place, Dedham. As you all know, these are the three parking lots for which the RFP was put out for. Again, remarkably dynamic parcels given that they are just asphalt gardens for the most part currently, but really important parcels. The RFP that went out was really clear about several things. One being, I'm going to just deal with the least interesting part, but very important part, parking, right? There's a lot of parking that's on these parcels today. There's a lot of demand for parking, especially for City Hall, especially for the Senior Center and some of the neighbors. So making sure that whatever plan happened dealt with the realities of parking was number one. Number two, and again these are not nor does our priority, number two was a desire to bring people downtown, to bring people living here, to build housing downtown and have a core focus on housing. Third, putting some street front retail here with particular interest in a grocer and having an urban grocer or a downtown grocer added to the list of other retail opportunities in Medford was a really important element. And then last, and again, the list goes on, but I'm just highlighting just a couple on the top, is really connectivity. coming up with a project that doesn't have a front or a back, doesn't have a left or a right, but really is a project that speaks to its neighbors from all sides, that communicates with every resident, every business, and really hopefully is done in a way that sets the table for other things to happen down the road in Medford Square. You folks have, as Alicia mentioned earlier, done a significant amount of planning and Medford really has, I think, an envy of a lot of roadmap of how to do these type of things. And so when we were making our proposal to the city, we reviewed all these plans, the comprehensive plan, the interest in public art, resiliency and sustainability, to make sure that we were addressing things that we knew by virtue of these plans and other initiatives, that we were addressing the things that were important to you all and to the city. This screen here puts forth some metrics of what the project could look like. I say could look like because we've responded to an RFP. We're grateful and very enthusiastic about continuing this conversation. And this is what our original thoughts from the RFP looked like in just numbers. This will evolve, this will change, this will be fluid based on feedback from you all, from stakeholders in the city. And so I want this to be seen as where we are now, understanding that this is very early on in the process. So we think appropriately in density wise, approximately 300 residential units here, 20% of which would be affordable units. which we think is a really important part to make sure that you do have the mix of income stratification in your housing stock. I mentioned the local grocer. We are proposing approximately 15,000 square foot grocer. on one of the parcels. Importantly, residential, and I'm happy to talk more as the Council would like to, residential is something that you can build almost always if the financing markets are available. But retail, especially grocery stores, you really are subject to the market. Where is the market at any given time? I'm excited because we're, you are doing this RFP. We are collectively collaborating on this RFP at a point in time where the grocery market, the urban grocers are increasing in numbers. And this is a market where they're looking for growth. And so I think as though we have an opportunity here, not just to talk about a grocery store, but really to put a dynamic grocer downtown that I think is really important. parking. I'll talk a little bit more about parking again in a minute here, but we are providing ample parking for City Hall and for visitors to City Hall and for City Hall business and staff. And we are also providing public parking for the senior center. Very early on, the mayor and staff have been very clear about the importance of making sure that this project be a benefit to the Council on Aging. I met with the executive director recently of the Council on Aging to just start and make sure we had names and faces with each other to make sure that we are having a good dialogue and that she felt comfortable reaching out to me and as this progresses, knowing that we're going to be in touch to figure out how to create that connectivity. The grocery store is currently designed right across the street from the Council on Aging, which we also think is really important as an amenity as well. I mentioned beyond walls and public art. Look, I just fundamentally in my core believe that there can't be fronts or backs to these buildings. And while the people that live in the building may not see the buildings, you know, if you will. and care as much about the exterior as they do the interior, the reality is 99.9% of the world sees it from the outside. And so these buildings themselves are pieces of sculpture, but we can do it in a way to make the first 30 feet for sure very vibrant, very interesting to not only make people wanna be there and feel safe, but also to attract others and help other existing businesses in Medford Square prosper. And then the last thing, which I guess two quick things here is resiliency we'll talk about and sustainability. You folks are champions on this topic. This project will be passive house, which is a really important and terrific goal. It will be all electric. And then lastly here is green spaces and connectivity. I think it's really important to just further accentuate what I was talking about with connectivity. We looked at this from every direction, pedestrian, whether you're on foot, scooter, car, in the back seat of a car, front seat of a car, to understand really how to create the connectivity, how to bring people from one place to another, how to help people navigate through signage and nonverbal markers to the river, which is only getting better and better with the trail network. And so how do we make them easier to get to City Hall? How do we make it safer and more convenient for seniors to get to the Council on Aging? In doing that, we look at a bunch of core areas. So this is a first take, if you will, about those same three parking lots we were talking about before. On the upper right-hand side is where we're suggesting the parking garage go up against I-93. That will have both surface parking and a parking lot. As you may recall, the Hyatt has the benefit of a easement with the city to allow parking on a portion of that for the hotel. And so we will certainly be making accommodations for that and making sure we don't interfere with those rights for the Hyatt Hotel there. And then as we move down plan south, if you will, to the screen, you see the two residential buildings, one on lot B and one on lot A. Lot B being the larger of the two residential buildings that also has some ground floor retail and public outdoor space and courtyards. And then Lot A being the one right across the street from the Council Aging, which is where the grocery store would most likely be located. Showing this to really show the key is how do you weave these together, right? So they can become a linear park. They can become something both through verbal and nonverbal cues. Really set this table for Medford Square and hopefully in a way that does a couple of things. One, creates connectivity to the rest of Medford Square. Two, sets a standard, hopefully, to get success and to help others increase traffic volume for business, foot traffic for business, so that the businesses that are there now and future businesses will thrive in these locations. So again, different techniques that will do it different of these spaces here, whether it's roadway improvements in terms of sidewalk improvements in terms of race crosswalks. There are so many tools available in the toolbox for us to partner with the city on both on these parcels and for the city to look at for some of its adjacent streets as well as a project. And again, I've already mentioned the retail, so I won't spend much time here. We really think as though we have an opportunity, a window here because the grocery market, the urban grocery market has been growing and they're in a growth mode right now. And so we think we're in a good position to be able to execute on that, which is very exciting. And then I've already mentioned Beyond Walls. I encourage you, if you ever have a Saturday that you want to go to Lynn, do a mural tour in the city of Lynn. It is the most remarkable way to see a city, is by looking up the entire time at the buildings. But really excited that they agreed to partner with us and to bring that energy and their collaboration with the community here. I mentioned parking before. Preliminarily, this project provides upwards to 600 parking spaces, which will include 100 parking spaces dedicated just for staff and visitors to City Hall at no cost, and then also includes parking that's dispersed throughout the project. Again, the goal is not to start with asphalt gardens and finish with asphalt gardens, but again, do it in a way that the parking kind of fades away. It's convenient, it's there, but it's no longer the focal point. And most especially, as I mentioned before, is really working with the city, working with the Council on Aging on how to create better connectivity, how to create more convenient parking and safer access and more comfortable access to the Council on Aging. I already mentioned the sustainability passive house construction. We're excited to roll up our sleeves and have the design team go to work on this. These are images. They're just images. They're not necessarily images of what is going to end up in Medford Square, but just to kind of give a sense of the connectivity and the place that can be built and the vibrancy. Again, The first 20 feet, 25 feet of a building is the one that most people experience. We want to make sure that on all sides and all ways, these are communicating to all the neighbors around us. This is if you're just to the left of City Hall, looking to the rear of City Hall on the left-hand side, potentially is where the parking garage would be up against 93. And you can see the Hyatt in the rear. Again, ideas right and I'm really excited that this is the start of conversation and really a lot of people have reached out and and we're excited about it. And then, lastly, I'm just going to end with kind of schedule schedule is a very fluid thing as Alicia kind of intimated about. We're having really good conversations about the formalizing the legal documentation. Not very interesting legal documentation, but interesting because it's going to unleash, I think, a flurry of activity that we can take these ideas and we can take the things that we're hearing from the city, that we're hearing from you, that we're hearing from the neighbors, and bring it to life so that we can have more community conversations and we can go through a permitting process with the city. We are aware of the draft zoning that was out for Medford Square. We did comment to staff. We actually think it's in really good shape. We did have some comments that we shared. We're excited to roll up our sleeves and work with the council and staff to see that through and happy to talk about it. Um, and then construction is roughly, um, you know, 24 months. Um, if again, I think there's going to be some sequencing because we're going to be very careful about not displacing everything at once and making sure there's always parking and making sure that we're doing things. So we'll have to work out the details of how to sequence things and make sure everything's done appropriately to minimize disruption, but also accelerate, uh, completion. Um, so that's also something we'll be having conversation with the city about. And then very last is Transom. I leave them last because I think that's us and we're important because we see ourselves as now a partner with you all. And I really am really proud of what we focus on at Transom. It really is. We, I think, do a great job for the residents and people that are in our building and use our building, but I think we do an even better job for the neighborhoods and the communities. I tell everybody that has ever worked with Transom and people that allow me to bend their ear is developers make a mistake and they act like it's their last project they're doing in a community. And I think development companies, if they really wanted to do good for themselves, they would treat every project like it's their first. project in a community, not their last. And because we are all local, because we are here, my wife and I spent our first years of marriage living on Humav in Medford. We care deeply about it. We want to leave significant pieces of architecture in communities here. And we think we've been successful and the communities in which we've been in our communities that we would be welcomed in again and again. And so with that, I'm gonna stop sharing. I'm happy to go back to any screen or to whatever you folks wanna take the conversation. So thank you, Mr. President.
[Zac Bears]: Mèsi, Pedro. Oke, manm konsèy la, èske w gen nenpòt kesyon pou Peter kounye a sou prezantasyon an oswa pwojè a? Li sanble gen travay toujou pou fèt. Mwen pral pale ak mesye Tsang.
[Justin Tseng]: Mèsi, Pedro. Mwen jis vle di ou mèsi pou rankontre ak plizyè manm nan konsèy la pi bonè. Mwen konnen nou te pale anvan diskou sa a. Lè nou te pale, mwen panse ke nou te diskite sou fason pakin legal fonksyone. Ki jan nou ka opere pwojè sa a pandan n ap kenbe tè vil la posede? Mon kirye si i annan okenn lezot detay legal parey ki bezwen ganny fer avan nou vot lo sa bil, avan ki i antre an aplikasyon.
[SPEAKER_04]: Msye Chairman, ou ta renmen m pale de sa? Wi, ale pi devan. Briyan. Oswa sof si ou vle moun ki soti nan vil la... Non, mwen devine, Kongrè a, mèsi. Mwen panse ak jwi konvèsasyon sa a. Mwen panse ke Alicia te fè yon bon travay nan eksplike sitiyasyon nou an. Se konsa, li pral yon kontra-lwaye tè 99 ane. Jan nou wè kounye a nou pral chanje ak evolye ankò e sa a se ki moun nou pral vin, Pwopriyetè pakin lan, men Vil la pral gen dwa anba kontra lwaye li ki pral pwolonje ak kontwòl sou itilizasyon pa pwopriyetè a epi li ka kenbe kontwòl sou espas pakin li mande epi li konsidere enpòtan pou operasyon li yo. anndan mwen Nan lavi mwen anvan, sa gen plizyè ane, mwen te yon manm konsèy seleksyon nan yon kominote nan Massachusetts, epi nou te siyen plizyè akò devlopman tè, menm jan ou fè avèk nou kounye a nan plizyè fason. Lè w pran yon kontra devlopman tè epi fè li yon kontra lwaye tè bay vil yo plis zouti pase devlopman prive. Mwen vin isit la kòm yon pwomotè prive epi prezante yon bagay nan komite devlopman kominote a. Isit la, non sèlman gen lisans ak apwobasyon ki detèmine kisa pou fè ak pwopriyete a, men gen tou yon kontra lwaye, yon dokiman vivan, yon dokiman lwaye dirab. Li pral dire plis pase nou tout pandan plizyè dizèn ane lè li sipèvize epi asire ke bagay ki enpòtan pou vil la, bagay ki enpòtan pou kominote a, yo kodifye alekri, yo legalman obligatwa, e ke siksesè nou yo, ki pral kenbe pozisyon respektif nou yo nan lavni, yo pral oblije defann.
[Justin Tseng]: Mèsi, Pedro. Mwen gen yon lòt kesyon kounye a. Sa a se yon kesyon mwen te poze anvan, e mwen panse ke depi nou nan yon espas piblik, mwen panse ke li vo poze ankò. Èske Transom kontakte sendika konstriksyon yo pou diskite sou konsepsyon yon kontra travay pou fè travay la?
[SPEAKER_04]: Wi, mèsi paske w poze kesyon sa a. Nou pa gen kontra pou pwojè sa a, men dènyèman nou te kontakte operatè yon lòt pwojè nan Medford epi nou te swiv yo. Nou te reyalize gwo siksè an tèm de biznis nou an ak kalite travay nou an, enpòtans li pou nou se enkontestab. Yo pral, mwen di yo an prive, epi yo pral di li piblikman, epi yo pral gen tout opòtinite. Nou pa chwazi yon kontraktè jeneral. Nou pap fè sa talè. Anjeneral nou pa fè sa byen bonè, men kèlkeswa moun nou travay avèk yo, definitivman pral gen yon opòtinite pou yo fè konpetisyon epi yo dwe yon pati nan pwojè a.
[Justin Tseng]: Swiv rapid sou sa. Ki jan pwosesis òf sa a ye? Ki kritè w ap chèche? Ki faktè prensipal ou obsève?
[SPEAKER_04]: Wi, mwen panse ke bon jan kalite ak pri yo se reyèlman de bagay ki pi enpòtan yo. Mwen panse ke si te gen yon echanj isit la ak yon tab wonn, mwen panse ke moun ta reyalize ke, istorikman, kalite pa te yon pwoblèm. OK? Kalite pa janm yon pwoblèm. Mwen panse ke pri se toujou yon pwoblèm. Sa a se yon tèm pou chak biznis, dwa? Balans ki genyen ant fè yon kontra ak pa fè yon kontra. Mwen panse ke komèsan menm reyalize sa a. Li vrèman vini nan travay avèk yo pou konnen ki kote yo ka fè plis pwofi ak ki kote yo ka gen plis siksè nan pwosesis la. Nou kontwole kontraktè jeneral nou yo. Alor nou kontrakter zeneral i pas atraver en prosedir ki nou’n demann li pou fer. Donk se yon balans. Se yon balans ant asire nou enklizif ak bay tout moun yon chans jis pou yo fè bagay yo. Nan fen jounen an, nou toujou gen yon pwojè pou nou travay.
[Zac Bears]: Mèsi. Mèsi, Pedro. Mèsi Konseye Zeng. Manm Kongrè Callahan.
[Anna Callahan]: Mèsi. Li te vrèman fre pou wè pwojè sa a. Mwen jis vle mete aksan sou nenpòt moun ki nan odyans lan kèk nan sa k ap pase isit la. Gen yon makèt nan anba lavil Medford Square se absoliman etonan. Mwen vrèman apresye konsiderasyon yo bay pou kontinye gen pakin nan etaj la devan sant granmoun aje yo. Mwen renmen lide ke nou pral travay ak patnè ki pi lwen pase miray yo epi ki kapab enkòpore kominote nou an nan travay atistik la epi yo pa sèlman gen atizay la la, men aktyèlman fè li yon pyès atis ki kondwi pa kominote nou an. Mwen konnen mwen te pale ak anpil granmoun aje ki te rete isit la pi fò nan lavi yo. Yo pa vle viv nan kay yo epi yo rive nan yon laj kote yo pa ka kenbe li ankò. Yo vle diminye. Yo pa t vle kite Medford. Yo vle viv pre zanmi ak vwazen. Mwen konnen sa nan men pwòp manman mwen Pandan w ap vin pi gran, li pa fasil pou w deplase lè w rive nan yon nouvo katye. Mwen vle moun ki aje yo rete isit la e mwen panse ke nou ap gade nan kreye yon anpil nan Kay ki byen gwosè pou granmoun aje nou yo ka viv ladan yo. Natirèlman, gen anpil lòt moun nan Medford ki vle viv tou nan yon sèl ak de chanm kay. Se konsa, mwen trè eksite sou pwojè sa a. Mwen vle mande, se apatman sa yo? Èske yo tout apatman? Si w konnen kounye a, si w ap toujou mande.
[SPEAKER_04]: Mesye Prezidan, Depite Callahan, nou prevwa ke tout sa yo pral apatman, pa kondo.
[Anna Callahan]: Mèsi.
[Zac Bears]: Mèsi. Konseye Scarpella.
[George Scarpelli]: Mèsi, Prezidan. Mwen regrèt mwen an reta. Mwen yon ti kras an reta pou travay, donk mwen regrèt. Mwen devine kesyon mwen an se, menm si ou te di sa a, epi padonnen m ', mwen panse ke kesyon nou an se reyèlman espesifik nan vil la. Mwen panse se vre Avanse ak pwojè sa a, konprann modèl trafik yo, konprann garaj la. Mwen konnen nou sanble ap bati yon garaj nan lari a soti nan sant granmoun aje, men li pa lòtbò lari a. Mwen panse ke yon gwo laperèz nan mitan granmoun aje ki vin nan sant granmoun aje nou an se ke menm yon ti kras pi lwen se twò lwen. Mwen konnen lè nou travay ansanm Wòl aplentan mwen pale sou fason kreyatif pou sipòte moun ki aje yo nan pwojè nou pran nan kominote nou pran yo ak nan kominote k ap grandi yo, epi nou gade patenarya. Devlopè yo ak vil nou an ap travay ansanm pou konstwi yon sèvis transpò kote granmoun aje nou yo pral santi yo alèz, menm si distans la se sèlman 100 oswa 150 mèt, ke lè yo pake machin yo nan garaj la, yo gen yon chemen an sekirite nan sant pou granmoun aje yo. Mwen panse ke li trè enpòtan Nou pral kouvri sa pita. Mwen byen kontan nou ap fè pwojè sa a, men ankò, konpreyansyon mwen sou pwosesis la pa bon. Lè nou gade, ou konnen, ki jan nou aktyèlman itilize tout koulwa a kòrèkteman? Eske nou chache l? Ankò, sa a te ka fè men san okenn enfòmasyon. Non, kominote a pa gen okenn lide sa ap pase, men èske nou te travay ak Riverside Mall? Èske nou te diskite sou fè yon pwojè ak travay avèk yo? Epi deplase bilding yo epi redevlope tout Method Square la, pa sèlman twa pasèl nou yo. Menm jan an tou, pwoblèm pakin souvan rive sou lòt bò a nan vil la. Se konsa, mwen devine li pa reyèlman konvèti oswa Pli enportan ki sa proze an partikilye, akoz nou kontan ki nou pe avanse, akoz mon krwar i en keksoz ki bezwen ganny fer, me i annan bann problenm ki en dimoun an mwayenn pa ankor konnen. Tout sa ou tande se ke nou ap pote twa sak nan kare apwòch vil la, epi nou ap fè transfòmasyon enkwayab sa a, men gen toujou anpil pwoblèm. Mwen espere vil la fè pi byen. Asire w ke moun yo edike ak okouran de pwosesis la. Paske, jan nou te wè tan ak tan ankò nan tan lontan an, lè nou jis kenbe bagay sa yo nan yon ti wonn, kominote nou yo vin lajman divize. Ankor parey mon’n dir, mon krwar nou bezwen pli transparan avek piblik e fer sir ki tou dimoun i konpran ki nou pas atraver serten proze. Ankò, pi gwo demann mwen an se asire w ke nou pran swen granmoun aje nou yo. Paske kounye a pou yo, li absoliman devaste pou yo ke nou ap pale de li. Pou anpil moun, sèl pati nan yon pati nan kominote a se sant pou granmoun aje. An reyalite, nou te pran plas la lòtbò lari a, ki te yon desepsyon total pou yo. Mwen sèten ke pifò nan nou te tande sa, mwen espere, epi pale ak kèk nan ansyen ou yo, men mwen panse ke nou bezwen pran yon pi bon apwòch. Pi bon travay edike kominote nou an. Se poutèt sa, nou elimine diskisyon negatif ak blag negatif jan yo ka divizyon. Yon fwa ankò, sa a se reyèlman pa pou moderatè nou yo, men pou administrasyon vil nou an aktyèlman kòmanse fè travay yo yon ti kras pi byen pase nou te wè nan plizyè nan gwo enkyetid yo ak pwoblèm ki te soulve pa vil la dènyèman. Mèsi mesye Prezidan.
[Zac Bears]: Mèsi, Manm Kongrè Scarpelli. Konseye Le Ming.
[Matt Leming]: Definitivman mon dakor ki i neseser meyer kominikasyon, sirtou avek bann dimoun aze ki napa akse avek internet e ki vreman ganny bokou lenformasyon par bouch. Mwen te renmen sa lè Pyè te fè prezantasyon l bay konseye yo. Semenn pase, ler mon ti demann serten manm konsey spesifikman lo sa, zot ti dir ki zot ti’n fer plan pour al dan sant ansyen pou fer en sesyon lenformasyon lo sa, lo proze, pour reponn zot kestyon. Akoz mon konnen Councilman Lazaro Calhoun ek mwan lannen pase, lannen apre lannen, nou’n al dan sant ansyen e nou’n fer menm konversasyon avek bann rezidan laba e nou’n seye, ou konnen, nou’n esey kominike avek zot. An reyalite, espas pakin ou a pa pral pèdi ak devlopman sa a. Gen ladann pakin anba tè. Epi, ou konnen, mwen pa ka bay egzakteman sa jiskaske nou ka jwenn devlopè yo dèyè li Gen anpil detay sou sa. Kidonk, mwen panse li vrèman itil pou moun ki trè abitye ak detay pwogram nan soti pou yo pale ak granmoun aje yo an prive. Lè sa a, poste li trè klè. Plan ak revizyon sou sitwèb la, sitwèb ou a ak sitwèb Vil la pou vizitè ki jwenn enfòmasyon atravè Entènèt. Se konsa, pwoblèm nan se jis kominikasyon nan plizyè fòm. Konsènan pwen kòlèg mwen yo sou transpò pou granmoun aje, mwen te pale ak majistra a epi mwen te pouse sa a sou komite planifikasyon nou an depi kèk tan, sètadi, jwenn yon plan jesyon demann transpò andedan vil la. Sa fè pati plan dekoupaj an zòn nou an. Atravè bagay tankou sa a, nou ka jwenn devlopè yo asiyen kèk lajan, asiyen kèk lajan nan otobis, ak Lè sa a, bis sa yo ka sèvi vil la. Pwogram sa yo te gen anpil siksè nan Everett, kote yo Otobis prive ki peye pa TMA bay transpò nan zòn nan, men se pa nan Medford paske pa gen youn nan devlopè nou yo ki aktyèlman fè pati li. Donk, um, anpil bagay ke nou ap pale sou yo, anpil bagay ki pase nan komite sa a, uh, uh, si nou aktyèlman fè pwojè sa yo, li pral abòde anpil nan enkyetid ke rezidan yo te pote ba nou. Se konsa, mèsi.
[Zac Bears]: Mèsi, manm Kongrè a. Mwen vle di, Kongrè a Lazzaro.
[Emily Lazzaro]: Mèsi. Mèsi pou entwodiksyon ou. Mwen ta renmen repete tou sa Mesye Lai Ming mansyone, sa vle di manm Konsèy sa a ak manm Komite Sèvis Rezidan ak Patisipasyon Piblik yo fè reyinyon regilye nan sant granmoun aje yo pou yo diskite. Yon varyete pwoblèm ki enterese granmoun aje yo ak vizitè sant pou granmoun aje yo. Mwen panse ke RFP patikilye sa a te chwazi paske li te gen ladann pakin. Li pa dirèkteman akote oswa anba oswa anlè sant granmoun aje a, men mwen pa panse sa, mwen vle di, mwen devine ou ta ka di vil la ta pi byen sèvi ak yon bilding ki pa te yon pakin, men sa nou genyen se yon pakin. Si yon konpwomi nesesè, mwen panse ke sa a se yon trè bon youn. Donk mwen panse kontinye diskisyon sou patisipasyon piblik la se yon bon mouvman administrasyon majistra a. Konseye, mwen panse ke nou ka definitivman envite Peter ak lòt manm nan ekip li a pou fè konvèsasyon sa a, men gen anpil moun ki gen enterè e nou gen anpil moun ki gen eksperyans yo egalman enpòtan ak anpil moun ki ka pran plezi nan vil sa a. Pandan n ap konsidere bezwen diferan moun, mwen panse nou bezwen kontinye dyalòg la epi kenbe kominikasyon ouvè. Epi kontinye envitasyon yo ap vini epi asire w ke nou ap pale ak tout moun ki enterese nan li. Mwen vle tou mansyone ke, jan Sipèentandan Hunter mansyone, konvèsasyon an sou zòn Medford Square ta aktyèlman rann li pi fasil pou nou avanse ak pwojè sa a si nou ta ka avanse pi bonè olye ke pita. Pyè, èske w ka mansyone ki wotè bilding ki pi wo a nan konplo a? Mwen pa sonje si sa a te mansyone nan diskou a.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sèt etaj li yo se bilding ki pi wo a.
[Emily Lazzaro]: Mèsi. Sèt istwa, mwen pa sèten si sa te fè pati diskisyon an zòn nan, men se pa yon ti bilding. Me mon krwar sa i en keksoz ki nou bezwen sonje ler nou kontinyen diskit lo bann kestyon zoning lo Medford Square, pou nou kapab get lakantite unit lozman ki nou enterese pou gannyen isi, nou bezwen vizilan pou kontinyen sa bann konversasyon e fer sir ki sa i en priyorite. Mèsi.
[Zac Bears]: Mèsi, Konseye Lazaro. Èske manm konsèy la gen nenpòt lòt kesyon oswa kòmantè? Peter, pa wè anyen, èske gen yon lòt bagay ou ta renmen ajoute sou pwochen etap yo ak ki kote nou prale apre?
[SPEAKER_04]: Non, pa gen anyen espesyal, Mesye Prezidan, men mwen ta renmen envite, mwen panse sa, epi ankò mwen pral asire w ke moun ki pa gen enfòmasyon kontak mwen yo ka wè ke youn nan benefis yo nan lokal yo se ke li se mwen, pa vre? Mwen espere ke nou tout santi, mwen espere ke nou santi, lè nou tande rezidan yo ke nou poko rive jwenn, ke nou kòmanse yon bon kòmansman nan konvèsasyon nou yo ak Knights yo, Konsèy la sou Aje, ak anpil vwazen. Men, nou toujou bezwen rankontre anpil moun, fè anpil konvèsasyon, epi ouvè a bon lide. Nou pran angajman pou nou fè sa. Lè nou pa kapab fè yon bagay, nou pral fè w konnen. Men, an menm tan, nou pral pase plis tan ke posib asire w ke nou tande bon lide epi aplike yo. Mèsi pou premye konvèsasyon ou avèk nou.
[Zac Bears]: Eksepsyonèl. Mèsi, Pedro. Si ou kapab fè nou konnen, ou konnen, lè kèk nan briefing ak sesyon angajman yo ap pase, ou ka voye yo ban mwen epi mwen pral voye yo nan biwo clerk la pou pataje ak manm konsèy la pou yo ka fè pati sa tou. Tanpri di nou. Absoliman. Eksepsyonèl. Mwen pral voye apèl la bay Direktè Hunter pou dènye kòmantè.
[Alicia Hunt]: Mèsi Mesye Prezidan. Mwen jis vle pataje yon dènye kòmantè. Kòm anpil nan nou konnen, nou te travay ak Devlopman Mas Leta sou pwojè sa a. Kòm ou ka sonje, yo te bay sipò nan tout kalite, kòmanse ak DIF nan Medford Square. Sa a se sipòte yon pati nan li. Yo te ede nou lè yo te ba nou yon konsiltan pou ekri RFP pou pwosesis la. An reyalite, mwen kontakte yo pou sipò byen imobilye ak lòt konsèy. Sa a pral gen ladan kèk jesyon pwojè ak èd espesifik (yo pa pral fè kontak, men yo pral ede nou fè sa), mete bagay sa yo sou sit la, ede nou konnen ki sa ki ta dwe sou sit la, ki sa yo ta dwe pataje ak ki lè. Se konsa, jodi a mwen te rankontre ak R&D konsiltan nan Mass Development e mwen panse ke nou ka jwenn yo sou tablo. Finansman pral disponib byento atravè pwogram nan pou ede kouvri depans legal ak konsiltasyon yo. Se konsa, mwen jis te vle pataje ke si tout bagay ale byen nou pral pwobableman ajoute yo nan semèn kap vini yo. Mwen te espere li pral semèn pwochèn men yo te di eta a pa t 'kapab anile kontra a byento. Kèlkeswa, mwen espere ke sa ede reyalize enpak solid moun ap chèche a. Donk mèsi anpil aswè a.
[Zac Bears]: Mèsi, Direktè Hunter. Mwen pral monte sou podium a epi angaje piblik la. Anrejistre non ak adrès. Ou pral gen twa minit. Tann yon minit, Andy. Mikwofòn sa a pa mache. Mwen pa konnen poukisa sa a pa mache. Oh, tann yon minit, Andy, tann yon minit. Plis ou jwe, plis pwoblèm mwen panse ke nou ta ka rankontre. Mwen pa ka louvri li. Jim, ou ka reset li? Emily, èske nou ka sèvi ak mikwofòn ou a? Ah, kounye a mwen nan pwoblèm. Eksepsyonèl. Oke, pèsonn pa ka tande w sou anrejistreman an. Tanpri ban nou yon minit.
[Andrew Castagnetti]: Mèsi, Angel Castagnetti, Cushman Street, East Medford, MA. Mèsi pou sijesyon an. Mèsi pou entwodiksyon an. Mwen pa konnen sa. Mwen jis ap eseye jwe defansè dyab pandan mwen la. Èske lame a konnen konbyen espas pakin ki genyen an total nan twa pakin nou yo?
[Zac Bears]: Andy, si ou ta ka fini kòmantè ou a, nou pral wè ki repons nou ka jwenn.
[Andrew Castagnetti]: Kidonk, konbyen espas pakin ap genyen apre twa bilding yo fin devlope?
[Zac Bears]: Padon, kisa sa ka ye?
[Andrew Castagnetti]: Konbyen espas pakin ki genyen sou twa pakèt sa yo? Konbyen espas pakin nou pral genyen yon fwa devlopman yo pwopoze a fini?
[Zac Bears]: Eksepsyonèl. Mwen pral ekri li. Èske gen yon lòt bagay ou ta renmen di sou sa?
[Andrew Castagnetti]: Wi. Konbyen espas pakin pou granmoun aje nou genyen kounye a? Konbyen nou pral genyen nan lavni apre devlopman? Mwen gen yon dènye bagay, èske mwen ta dwe kontinye pale avèk ou?
[Zac Bears]: Wi, wi, si ou kapab.
[Andrew Castagnetti]: Briyan. Èske yon makèt laba vrèman yon bon lide? Te gen yon makèt sou bò gòch nan Traffic Street. Li te la pou ane epi li se yon gwosè desan. Mwen pa sonje non reyèl konpayi an. Men, mwen mande, si ta gen yon makèt la, ki kote kliyan ta pake? Konbyen plas yo genyen? Oswa ou bezwen pake? Yo gen pou peye pou pakin. Sa yo se sèlman twa kesyon mwen jodi a.
[Zac Bears]: Mèsi, Andy. Nou pral travay di pou jwenn repons pou kesyon sa yo. Tout se byen. Pa wè okenn lòt kòmantè piblik oswa kesyon konseye, èske gen yon mosyon? Konsènan mosyon Konseye Callaghan pou fèmen, li te segonde. Manm Kongrè Lazaro te andose. Mesye Sekretè, tanpri rele.
[Marie Izzo]: Senatè Callaghan? Vis Prezidan Collins? Wi. Senatè Lazaro? Wi. Senatè Laming? Wi. Manm Kongrè Scarpelli? Wi. Konseye Zeng? Prezidan Booth?
[Zac Bears]: Wi, mon anfaver, napa okenn obzeksyon e mosyon i ganny port. Nou pral gen yon reyinyon regilye nan kèk minit ak komite sa a
