Columbia Point was so de- teriorated that it was hard to believe that market-rate apartments could ever be rented there. The redevelopment team worked closely with key public agencies to develop strategies to quickly move the project through the permitting process. The project required 35 separate approvals. Contentious is- sues included everything from the amount of retail to the size of the bricks on the new buildings. The permit to fill part of the Dorchester Bay to enlarge the park area on the east end and the delineation of the line between the park and Harbor Point also required lengthy Harbor Point, only ten minutes by car from downtown, is organized around a new grid of streets that lie at a 45-degree angle to the waterfront. negotiations.

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS The redevelopment of Columbia Point largely began with the resi- dents' dissatisfaction. The Colum- bia Point Community Task Force (CPCTF) exerted considerable pres- sure on the Boston Housing Author- ity and City Hall. In 1981, CPCTF signed a memorandum of agree- ment outlining conditions for rede- velopment of the project. Joseph E. Corcoran, a local developer who had grown up in the adjacent Dor- chester area, teamed up with Joan Goody, an architect and planner, to One-third of the original buildings were retained and 43 buildings— ranging from support CPCTF's work. Corcoran's two-story townhomes to seven-story apartment buildings—were constructed. up the site and to form a more logi- cal street system. The new buildings are a mix of three-story townhomes, and new five-, six-, and seven-story apartment buildings. Several considerations were es- sential to design. For example, resi- dents wanted play areas within sight of their homes. Townhouses with individual entrances for the family units not only provided resi- dents with a sense of ownership but also with a sense of increased secu- rity by limiting the number of fami- lies using a single entrance. Locating parking spaces close to each unit was important to residents (who had experienced considerable auto vandalism) and to increasing the level of activity on the streets.

Golden, Director Boston Planning & Development Agency One City Hall Square Boston, MA 02201 Re: Letter of Intent to File Project Notification Form (“PNF”) J.J. Carroll Redevelopment 130 Chestnut Hill Aye, Brighton Neighborhood District Dear Director Golden, This letter serves as the Letter of Intent pursuant to the Executive Order entitled: “An Order Relative to the Provision of Mitigation by Development Projects in Boston” with respect to the J.J. Carroll Redevelopment project (“Proposed Project”) located as 130 Chestnut Hill Avenue in Brighton proposed by 2 Life Communities (“2 Life”), formerly known as Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly (“JCHE”). The John J. Carroll Apartments were developed by the Boston Housing Authority (“BHA”) in 1966 and currently consist of 64 public housing units and an approximately 1,600 square foot (“sf’) Community Room. J.J. Carroll is adjacent to 2 Life’s four existing buildings in Brighton, which include 763 apartments of independent affordable senior housing with services and an array of community spaces such as a fitness center, library, computer center, dining room, and numerous multi-purpose spaces. Our Brighton community in particular is a rich hub of activity where nearly 1,000 residents have access to a multi lingual Resident Services team, 24/7 emergency response, fitness/wellness programs, lifelong learning, intergenerational programs, arts and culture events, and countless other programs and services, and we are excited to make all of this available to the J.J.
