    titLe description communit y Feedback response

    a-1 Responding to Site

    Characteristics

    The siting of buildings should respond to

    specic site conditions and opportunities such

    as non-rectangular lots, location on prominent

    intersections, unusual topography, signicant

    vegetation and views or other natural features.

    While the site is small and setbacks as well as site size largely dictate bu

    location, the site is at the SW corner of the intersection of Boylston and

    massing and organization of the buildings primary architectural elemen

    the relationship of the project to the streets and neighbors.

    a-2 Streetscape Compatibility The siting of buildings should acknowledge

    and reinforce the existing desirable spatial

    characteristics of the right-of-way.

    The Board characterized the proposed setback widths at the ground plane along

    Seneca St. and Boylston Ave. as overly generous (even heroic). This is particularly

    true for Option #3. The diagrams presented at the meeting do not reveal enough

    information about the character of the neighborhood for the Board to know

    whether these wide setbacks are appropriate and how their design responds to

    security concerns of the neighbors.

    The different characteristics of Seneca and Boylston should inform the design

    at the ground plane. Boylston appears to be more pedestrian oriented. Further

    analysis of the neighborhood character is necessary. In addition, the programming

    of uses within the rst level should also inuence the design of the streetscapes.

    At EDG 1, in the preferred option the applicant had attempted to provi

    the amount of open space than required by code at the street frontages

    rather than 7 average minimum) with the belief that it would be a publi

    The zoning code calls for seven foot minimum setbacks at street frontag

    0-45 in height, so having the traditional zero-lot line, urban relationship

    sidewalk is therefore not supported or intended by DPD, so the applica

    providing even more setbacks and greenery would be a plus. However did not support increasing the setback, favoring the lesser setbacks from

    1 and 2. The applicant has acquiesced and adjusted the new design and

    approximately seven feet of building setbacks from the back of sidewalk

    Seneca and Boylston up to a height of approximately 45 feet.

    Of the streetscapes, Boylston is thought to be the most pedestrian in na

    Per public and board comment, the applicant is now proposing to have

    residential entry facing Bolyston, near the corner. The majority of the r

    frontage of Boylston at grade is space for two live/work units. Those co

    positively to the environment of Boylston.

    a-3 Entrances Visible

    from the Street

    Entries should be clearly identiable and visible

    from the street.

    Per A-2 response above, the entry has been moved to the corner, facin

    a-4 Human Activity New development should be sited and designed

    to encourage human activity on the street.

    a-5 Respect for Adjacent Sites Buildings should respect adjacent properties bybeing located on their sites to minimize disruption

    of the privacy and outdoor activities of residents

    in adjacent buildings.

    The Board noted its reluctance to consider recommending departure request #3,reducing the ground plane setback at the south property line to two feet, given a

    representative of the Hilltop Courts opposition. The added de pth of the setback

    at the upper portions of the podium seemed reasonable.

    The applicant has met with a representative from Hilltop Court, pursuibenecial setbacks / separations. The new design reects those discuss

    a-6 Transition between

    Residence and Street

    For residential projects, the space between t he

    building and the sidewalk should provide security

    and privacy for residents and encourage social

    interaction among residents and neighbors.

    See guidance for A-2. The Board registered its consternation toward the overly

    generous setbacks along Seneca and Boylston and asked for further analysis.

    Per A-2 above, the applicant has adjusted the new design per board com

    providing approximately seven feet of building setbacks for the podium.

    is similar to the podium design of Options 1 and 2 at EDG 1.

    a-7 Residential Open Space Residential projects should be sited to maximize

    opportunities for creating usable, attractive, well-

    integrated open space.

    The 15 foot setbacks along the streetscape (Option # 3) would create

    problematic open spaces. As mentioned in other guidance, the Board requests

    more analysis of how the proposal adopts established urban patterns on First Hill.

    Per A-2 and A-6 above, the applicant has adjusted the new design per b

    comments, providing approximately seven feet of building setbacks for t

    a-8 Parking and Vehicle Access Siting should minimize the impact of automobile

    parking and driveways on the pedestrian

    environment, adjacent properties and pedestrian

    safety.

    The parking and vehicular accesses are in the alley and as far away from

    possible, per DPD standards.

    a-9 Location of Parking on

    Commercial Storefronts

    a-10 Corner Lots Building on corner lots should be oriented to

    the corner and public street fronts. Parking and

    automobile access should be located away from

    corners.

    The new preferred design fronts the corner of the site and

    the intersection at it fronts.

    b-1 Height, Bulk, and Scale

    Compatibility

    Projects should be compatible with the scale

    of development anticipated by the applicable

    Land Use Policies for the surrounding area

    and should be sited and designed to provide

    a sensitive transition to near-by, less intensive

    zones. Projects on zone edges should be

    developed in a manner that creates a step

    in perceived height, bulk, and scale between

    anticipated development potential of the

    adjacent zones.

    The Board conveyed its reticence to encourage a bold or ambitious design such

    as Option #3 without additional information describing the applicants attitude

    toward the structures relationship to its context. The issue of setbacks along

    Seneca and Boylston has been discussed in other sections. If the applicant

    pursues Option #3, the architects will need to provide 1) more analysis of

    the urban patterns, buildings and landscapes within the neighborhood and 2)

    character studies of the tower and how the stacked or engaged boxes, the

    leitmotif of the proposal, addresses issues of neighborhood scale, materials and

    prevailing architectural elements (fenestration patterns, pier and spandrel, and

    building form). The massing and the street level setbacks for Options #2 and 3

    resemble more traditional building forms (albeit the grids inadvertently suggest

    ofce rather than residential structures). The Board expressed its comfort

    with the applicant proceeding to the Master Use Permit (MUP) stage should

    the applicant choose to develop one of these massing approaches. Concerns

    regarding these options relationship to their context, scale etc., as described for

    Option #3, would still be germane.

    The applicant has embraced the board guidance and is no longer propo

    favoring an iconic tower. Per direction, the applicant is proposing a ne

    design, drawing from aspects of Options 1 and 2 from the rst EDG. Th

    setbacks are now at their code -minimum as directed and the podium is

    plan view than the tower, resulting in a much more traditional massing r

    between base and tower. The massing of the tower is simple and respe

    by many in the public as well as the board for the project to be less busy

    timeless, while being a modern building of its time.

    c-1 Architectural Context New buildings proposed for existing

    neighborhoods with a well-dened and desirable

    character should be compatible with or

    complement the architectural character and siting

    pattern of neighboring buildings.

    P. 14 of the supplementary information and pp. 14-15 of the booklet begin to

    suggest underlying urban patterns and building forms within the neighborhood

    in spite of the salmagundi of architectural styles. As design development of any

    of the three options proceeds, the architect must produce a convincing visual

    argument that the choices made represent a thorough understanding of this

    portion of the First Hill context.

    While towers are few and far between in the immediate context, the cl

    lines, relating and bringing the scale down to that of many of the project

    c-2 Architectural Concept and

    Consistency

    Building design elements, details and massing

    should create a well-proportioned and unied

    building form and exhibit an overall architectural

    concept. Buildings should exhibit form and

    features identifying the functions within the

    building. In general, the rooine or top of thestructure should be clearly distinguished from

    its facade walls.

    Although it goes without saying that any elaboration of one of the three options

    requires architectural consistency from small detail to building form, the third

    scenario, in particular, has a higher hurdle due to its unusual form.

    The projects parti involves three primary elements; a podium and two

    tower treatments, one partially wrapping the other. The other taller an

    form grounds itself while fronting the corner and the entry.

    c-3 Human Scale The design of new buildings should incorporate

    architectural features, elements, and details

    to achieve a good human scale

    Depending upon the execution of the stacked boxes (Option #3) concept, the

    designs scale should not overwhelm the intimate residential character that much

    of the neighborhood exudes. The architects investigation should recognize

    that the building will be experienced from a variety of distances. The proposed

    structure should speak to those distances just as the First Baptist Church is

    experienced differently from both a variety of directions and distances.

    Much has changed with the new preferred design and many of the com

    directional statements pertaining to the previously preferred option no

    c-4 Exterior Finish Materials Building exteriors should be constructed

    of durable and maintainable materials that

    are attractive even when viewed up close.

    Materials that have texture, pattern, or lend

    themselves to a high quality of detailing

    are encouraged.

    Should the architect choose to create a mostly transparent or porous base, then

    the programming of the uses along the two perimeter streets should engage

    the streetscape. Alternatively, a design emphasizing the street wall lined with

    residential uses and composed of predominantly opaque materials is also a

    suitable strategy. At the next Board meeting, the choice should be evident. Do

    the stacked boxes have different materials depending upon their height? Do the

    base and possibly the lower boxes want to be a different material than the upperboxes? These considerations should be studied by the architect and brought

    forward at the next meeting. The applicant will need to produce character

    sketches that illustrate the choice of materials or the range of materials being

    considered. The Board emphasized the desire for a richness of materials and

    noted that stone and brick were commonly found on First Hill.

    D-1 Pedestrian Open Spaces

    and Entrances

    Convenient and attractive access to the buildings entry should be provided. To ensure comfort

    and security, paths and entry areas should be sufciently lighted and entry areas should be

    protected from the weather. Opportunities for creating lively, pedestrian-oriented open space

    should be considered.

    Use principles of crime prevention through environmental

    design (CPTED) to inuence the decision making for the

    landscape and streetscape designs.

    Agreed, CPTED practices are necessary at t

    D-2 Blank Walls Buildings should avoid large blank walls facing the street, especially near sidewalks. Where blank

    walls are unavoidable they should receive design treatment to increase pedestrian comfort and

    interest

    D-6 Screening of Dumpsters,

    Utilities, and Service Areas

    Building sites should locate service elements like trash dumpsters, loading docks and mechanical

    equipment away from the street front where possible. When elements such as dumpsters, utility

    meters, mechanical units and service areas c annot be located away from the street front, they

    should be situated and screened from view and should not be located in the pedestrian right-of-

    way.

    The Board requested more descriptive information showing

    how the services areas function. Where is the waste storage

    area? How will it be delivered to the recycling and garbage

    trucks? Will there be an exterior storage area on the alley?

    All service areas as well as the dock and par

    and egress will be secured and within the bu

    Service areas show on the ground oor plan

    Trash and recycling are to be located near th

    chute in specied spaces. Typically trash andare moved out to garbage trucks in dumpste

    wheels. There are no outdoor storage area

    being designed with this project.

    D-7 Personal Safety and Security Project design should consider opportunities

    for enhancing personal safety and security in

    the environment under review.

    See guidance for D-1.

    D-8 Treatment of Alleys The design of alley entrances should enhance

    the pedestrian street front.

    A considerable portion of the alley has exposure to Seneca St.

    Materials should wrap around the corner from Seneca into

    the alley.

    The podium frame wraps around the corner

    with it a large bay of the frame treatment in

    D-9 Commercial Signage Signs should add interest to the street front environment and should be appropriate for the scale

    and character desired in the area.

    As design development occurs, the quality and placement

    of signage for the live/work or commercial spaces will be

    reviewed by the Board.

    Agreed. Signage information will be propose

    at Recommendation.

    D-10 Commercial Lighting Appropriate levels of lighting should be provided in order to promote visual interest and a sense

    of security for people in commercial districts during evening hours. Lighting may be providedby incorporation into the building faade, the underside of overhead weather protection,

    on and around street furniture, in merchandising display windows, in landscaped areas,

    and/or on signage.

    The Board expects the submittal of a lighting plan for the

    exterior commercial spaces prior to the Recommendationmeeting.

    The applicant respectfully proposes to provi

    lighting plan for the exterior at Recommendanote, there are no exterior commercial spa

    proposed on the project.

    D-11 Commercial Transparency Commercial storefronts should be transparent, allowing for a direct v isual connection between

    pedestrians on the sidewalk and the activities occurring on the interior of a building. Blank

    walls should be avoided.

    As design progresses, the character of the storefronts or

    live/work units facing Boylston Ave will need to meet the

    aspirations for a pedestrian oriented streetscape.

    Agreed, this will be studied and appropriate

    also satises the energy code will be propos

    D-12 Residential Entries and

    Transitions

    For residential projects in commercial zones, the space between the residential entry and the

    sidewalk should provide security and privacy for residents and a visually interesting street front

    for pedestrians. Residential buildings should enhance the character of the streetscape with small

    gardens, stoops and other elements that work to create a transition between the public sidewalk

    and private entry.

    e-1 Landscaping to Reinforce

    Design Continuity with

    Adjacent Sites

    Where possible, and where there is not another overriding concern, landscaping should reinforce

    the character of neighboring properties and abutting streetscape.

    Other than offering vicinity photos and some text, the

    applicant has not fully investigated the context in which

    landscaping choices should be considered. How do the

    insights from this analysis inform the design? Is the proposal atower in a garden or does it evoke a more traditional urban

    pattern in which the building sits close to the adjacent streets?

    The landscape concept drawings indicate the

    desire to provide substantial amounts of gree

    other visual amenities in the public realm. Th

    units will have small gardens and level stoopsaccommodations. These spaces will be gated

    reecting the public comments from the rst

    to generous right of way dimensions and the

    setbacks, this actually creates the opportunit

    a series of landscaping zones, adding to the n

    transition from streets to sidewalks to entrie

    e-2 Landscaping to Enhance the

    Building and/or Site

    Landscaping, including living plant material, special pavements, trellises, screen walls, planters,

    site furniture, and similar features should be appropriately incorporated into the design to

    enhance the project.

    The concerns noted by the public and the Board as re ected

    in the guidance provided in A-2, A- 6, A-7 and E-1 should

    inuence the decision making as the landscape design

    develops.

    Agreed.
