We\nfavor new housing in our neighborhood, city, and region as an integral part of\nthe required response to our surging population and housing affordability\ncrisis resulting from decades of underbuilding and inequitable patterns of\ndevelopment and housing availability. However, we offer the following concerns\nand comments intended to emphasize the imperative to adopt a greener approach\nto building in order to prepare for the climate change emergency,&nbsp; and also to address the future of\ntransportation and the need for more affordable housing in every development\nproject that our city considers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before addressing each of these issues in turn, we observe that historically, when developers proposed large condominium projects in Boston neighborhoods, they were often \u201cbargained down\u201d by the neighbors, who would push for fewer units, less height, and more off-street parking spaces, thus (1) reducing the developer\u2019s ability to make a profit; (2) constraining the growth of much-needed housing; and (3) inducing more demand for cars by virtue of the extra parking spots. Indeed, our experience is that developers often proposed extra large structures, knowing they would have to give up some units to appease neighbors. By contrast, today we see more and more Bostonians have become acutely aware of the housing and transportation crises, and we have found many supporters in Roslindale specifically who are sensitive to these issues. Thus, while a project like this might have sacrificed profitability in the past by reducing scale and increasing parking, in view of the decreased pressure to do so today, there should be more room in the budget to address more pressing concerns, particularly in the areas of energy efficiency and affordability for lower-income families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Green Building<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the Proposed Project is below the\nLarge Project Review threshold and is technically required to meet only\nbuilding code-based energy efficiency and green building requirements (albeit\nat the city\u2019s \u201cStretch Code\u201d level, which produces a 10% improvement over the\notherwise applicable standards), the BPDA should require the Proposed Project\nto exceed those standards and approach <strong>Net\nZero\/Zero Plus\/LEED Gold-Platinum standards<\/strong>. If our city is truly serious\nabout preparing for and attempting to mitigate the climate crisis, all new\nbuildings will need to be much more efficient in their use of energy. There is\nno more time to wait to start this effort on a citywide basis, and we would\nlike to see this happen in this neighborhood now. To help offset electrical use,\nwe suggest that the proponent investigate the possibility of adding additional\nphotovoltaic panels to this project as well as on the adjacent Greater\nRoslindale Medical and Dental Center. Rent from the roof panels could provide\nneeded income for the center and the generated electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also recommend\nconsidering using air-sourced heat pumps for heating\/cooling. While the\noperating cost in heating mode is likely still higher than gas in this climate,\nthe total capital cost might be less than the total for gas heat (especially\nhigh efficiency) + electric air conditioning, so the levelized cost difference\nwon&#8217;t be as great. There are some utility incentives and tax credits (such as\nSMART, the Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target) that can help reduce the cost.\nThe Commonwealth is decarbonizing the grid rapidly, so investing in electric\ninfrastructure now rather than locking in higher CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions for\ntwo decades with gas infrastructure is better to help meet longer term climate\nchange goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We note that once this project is built, it\nwill be too late to implement many energy efficiency measures that could easily\nbe incorporated at the design and build phase. We have seen other condominium\ndevelopments in the area (indeed, on this street) consider retrofitting their\nbuildings to add photovoltaic panels only to give up due to the logistical\nhurdles of dividing up costs and benefits amongst multiple units, as well as\nthe significantly higher cost of modifying an existing structure versus including\nsolar from the start. In short, we only have one shot to get this right, and\nthe BPDA should push developers to seize every opportunity to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Off-Street Parking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 14 spaces, the\nProposed Project has a parking ratio of 1:0.88 which we feel is reasonable but\ncould be lower and still meet residents\u2019 needs. Zero off-street parking\nprojects have recently been allowed in Roslindale Square (most recently, the\nWallpaper City project at the corner of Poplar and South a few hundred feet\nfrom the proposed site), and, as noted above, this location 200 yards from the\nRoslindale Village Station commuter rail stop, from bus stops serviced by a\ndozen bus routes and within 250 yards of a neighborhood supermarket. The\nProposed Project is likewise minutes away from the start of the Southwest\nCorridor Bicycle Path, which is a major thoroughfare for cycling commuters.\n<sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-2255-1' id='fnref-2255-1' onclick='return fdfootnote_show(2255)'>1<\/a><\/sup>\n\nAll of these sustainable transportation options are complemented by several\nnearby ZipCar locations and easy access to rideshare services along with two\nBluebikes bikeshare stations in Roslindale Square. Note that the <a href=\"https:\/\/perfectfitparking.mapc.org\/\">MAPC Perfect\nFit Parking Study<\/a>, released 7\/24\/19, suggests that a ratio of less\nthan 1:0.7 would be appropriate.\n<sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-2255-2' id='fnref-2255-2' onclick='return fdfootnote_show(2255)'>2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In light of these\nample amenities, excessive parking will undeniably waste resources and induce\ncar ownership and car use, moving our neighborhood and our city away from the\nmode shift and greenhouse gas and other air pollution reduction goals to which\nwe have committed in GoBoston 2030 and Climate Ready Boston. By devoting more\nreal estate to parking, we practically guarantee more cars in the neighborhood.\nBy contrast, reducing off-street parking will have direct positive implications\non affordability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If some off-street\nparking spaces within the Proposed Project can be dedicated carshare (such as\nZipcar) spaces the need for parking spaces can be reduced. If carshare spaces\ncannot be added within the garage, then perhaps the Proposed Project in\ncooperation with BPDA could sponsor additional carshare spaces within the\nadjacent municipal parking lot on Taft Hill while using the vacated space for\neither additional bike parking or space for an affordable unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By unbundling parking\nspaces from units and charging market rates for parking spaces, vehicle use can\nbe discouraged. By contrast, if the parking spaces remained bundled with the\nunits, car-free families will be less likely to live in this development since\nthey would be paying a premium for an amenity they do not need. Likewise,\nproviding free MBTA passes to tenants will encourage transit ridership as was\ndone at the nearly adjacent 20 Taft Hill Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With available\nparking thus reduced to below a 1 to 1 ratio, the Proposed Project is an\nespecially appropriate project on which to un-bundle the parking from the\nunits, so that households that do not need off-street parking can avoid that\ncost instead of having it included in their unit regardless, while families\nthat need an individually-owned vehicle for career, family, or other reasons will\nhave the option to pay for a place to put it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also think it is\nimportant that the units in this development <strong><em>not<\/em><\/strong> be granted the right\nto obtain residential parking permits, and we urge BPDA to work with BTD to\nmake sure this happens. While our neighborhood and the Boston area are in dire\nneed of more housing, there is absolutely no need for more cars. Ultimately,\nthe City needs to update its parking policies for the 21<sup>st<\/sup>\ncentury\u2014including by limiting the supply and charging for residential parking\npermits. But until that happens, we need to take steps to insure that every\nlarge-density development like this doesn\u2019t bring along with unlimited free car\nstorage on public land in the form of residential permits. These free permits\nprovably induce demand for cars, and the Roslindale neighborhood should not be\nforced to absorb that traffic and pollution impact. Moreover, Taft Hill Terrace\nis a short, dead-end street with no adjacent blocks of \u201coverflow\u201d parking\u2014if units\nin the Proposed Project were eligible for free residential permits, parking\nfrom these units alone could overwhelm the entire street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Bicycle Parking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Proposed Project\nis close to bicycle lanes on Washington Street, bike paths in the Arnold\nArboretum, the Southwest Corridor Park\/Pierre Lallement bike path and the\nfuture Roslindale Gateway path making biking to work\/school, errands, and\nleisure a safer and more attractive option. We recommend a minimum bike parking\nratio of 1 space per each bedroom. Additionally, the spaces must be usable by\npeople of all abilities, so that a portion of the spaces must be usable without\nneeding to lift the bike. Space needs to both accommodate traditional bicycles\nas well as cargo bikes such as longtails, bakfiets, and box bikes. With e-bikes\nbecoming more available and commonplace, we recommend that bike charging\nstations be built to allow tenants to charge their e-bikes. An e-cargo bike can\nreplace an automobile for a large number of trips and since two large cargo\nbikes can fit within one car parking space, they are space efficient. In order\nfor people to ride bikes, the bikes must be usable. We therefore recommend that\na bike repair station with bicycle pump be included in the garage. Since visitors\nwho arrive by bike may not need secure, overnight bike storage, we recommend\nthat at least two bike racks be included near the building entrance per BTD\nguidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Housing Affordability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a rough cut,\nassuming a standard parking space takes up about 162 square feet (9\u2019 x 18\u2019), a\nreduction of even just five (5) spaces would allow for an additional 810 square\nfeet of living area. We would expect that area to be split into 1 additional\nunit, which we would recommend be added to the affordable unit count or be used\nto reduce the AMI to be truly affordable to residents of Roslindale. We also\nnote that community members from the Housing Justice task force of Roslindale\nis for Everyone (\u201c<strong>RISE<\/strong>\u201d)\nspoke at the community meeting and were particularly focused on increasing both\nthe percentage of affordable units in the Proposed Project and the level of\naffordability offered beyond what the IDP would otherwise require (13% of total\nunits and 70% of area median income). We support RISE Housing Justice on both of\nthese requests. The Proposed Project is located in a part of our neighborhood\nwhere household incomes are lower than average and competition for scarce and\nincreasingly expensive housing (there has been almost no new housing\nconstructed in this area for the last several decades) is displacing our most\nvulnerable neighbors. We can and should do more as a city to make sure that\neveryone who wants to make their home here is able to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Roslindale\nGateway Path\/Blackwell Path Extension and Arboretum Road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to help reduce parking burden, the developer should be required to\nassist financially with ongoing efforts around the Roslindale Gateway Path (http:\/\/walkuproslindale.org\/gateway)\nas this will be a significant amenity for residents of the development and the\nbroader surrounding neighborhood. A significant contribution for this effort\nwould be an excellent way for this Proposed Project to bring value and\nincreased accessibility to its own backyard immediately. We propose a\ncontribution of $25,000 for the Proposed Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In closing, we wish\nto reiterate our overall support for the Proposed Project, while especially\nemphasizing our call to reduce the off-street parking count and repurpose the\nspace saved to increase the number and level of affordability for the\naffordable units.
