5 Project Description PROJCT SUMMARY The proposed project will be the reuse of the former oly Trinity German Church and Rectory in Boston s South nd. The location on Shawmut Avenue, between erald Street and Berkeley Street, is within the New York Streets sub-district. The interior of the church will be completed demolished and removed, while the exterior masonry façade will remain in place. An 8 story building (plus basement parking) will be constructed within the existing exterior walls, with a new steel and glass structure rising above the stone cornice line of the existing building. The exterior masonry of the church will be cleaned and refurbished. The Basement level of the building will contain 24 parking spaces, which will be accessible via Shawmut Ave. Levels through 8 will contain 33 residential units and 57,904 square feet of residential space. The proposed project will create new housing options in a unique new building in this rapidly growing section of the South nd. This dramatic design will blend old and new, creating a bold centerpiece for this developing neighborhood. XISTING CONDITIONS The subject property is a 7,272 square foot parcel. The parcel has linear feet of frontage on Shawmut Avenue, which is a one way street. The existing church and rectory were built in 874 and contain approximately 32,945 gross square feet. The building has been vacant for roughly 5 years. The existing tower spires reach approximately 0 feet in elevation. NIGBOROOD CONTXT The site is located in the DA North sub-district of the South nd Neighborhood District. It is also part of the Protected Area of the South nd Landmark District, and within the territory of the Old Dover Neighborhood Association. Neighboring properties serve both residential and commercial uses. The proposed project follows several new residential and commercial projects under construction in the area including the Ink Block and 275 Albany Street. Other proposed residential, commercial, and office projects in the immediate area have been recently approved. The project will also help to activate this portion of Shawmut Avenue, as it serves as a pedestrian connective corridor between downtown and the South nd. PUBLIC BNFITS The proposed project will not only preserve the classic architecture of the former church, but further revitalize its appearance and presence in the neighborhood. The project will transform a vacant site into much needed housing units in the City of Boston with striking architectural design. Upon completion, the project will generate additional property tax revenue for the City. The proposed project will also create a significant number of construction jobs. The proponent is committed to hiring local contractors and tradespeople. Finegold Alexander + Associates Inc / PAG 5

6 The owner has a strong history of cooperation and collaboration with neighbors on prior projects and intends to continue developing relationships with abutters to 36 Shawmut Avenue. They have met with representatives from the Chinese vangelical Church and Castle Square, direct abutters to the property, and a presentation was made to the Old Dover Neighborhood Association. TRAFFIC, PARKING, TRANSPORTATION The project will provide onsite parking for 24 vehicles in order to mitigate potential traffic and parking issues. This results in a parking ratio of.73 spaces per unit. The parking garage will be accessed via a ramp from Shawmut Avenue. There will be 4 parking spaces in the garage, each equipped with a stacker system, resulting in space for 28 vehicles. ach stacker space is counted as.75 parking spaces, accounting for the 24 space total for parking calculations. In addition, there will be a bicycle room with space for 20 bicycles. A variety of other transportation options exist in the immediate area. The site is blocks away from multiple MBTA Bus Lines, the MBTA Orange Line, Zip Cars, and ubway Stations. RUBBIS RMOVAL & RCYCLING City sanitation and recycling trucks will provide weekly trash pickups on Shawmut Avenue. A trash room will be located in the basement of the building. Recycling receptacles will be provided for use by all building residents. Space for recyclable materials will be provided within the trash room. Finegold Alexander + Associates Inc / PAG 6
