• Construction is expected to begin between late12/00 and early 01/01.
• The lot will be fenced for the first phase (excavation), which is expected to last approximately 6 months.
• Construction of the structure itself is scheduled for Summer 2001 with an occupancy goal of late 2002. The final buildings will be mixed theater, commercial and residential (102 units).
• The Huntington Theater Company has just reached an agreement to manage the theater space (please see "The Boston Globe" 10/05/00, page 1, for further details).

Mr. Harb presented deck plans to us in the Spring resulting in a letter from the Association stating that we did not object, contingent upon the approval of the abutters. The ZBA appeal was denied. Mr. Harb has now redesigned the 2^nd & 3^rd floor decks (reduced from 9X18 to 9.5X9) and will again go before the ZBA (10/10, 11:00 AM). Issuance of another letter to the ZBA to the same effect as the last was voted on and passed.

Four abutters were present at the meeting. While concerns were expressed about the general conduct of the construction, the new deck design was largely not an issue. The Association encouraged the abutters to bring any concerns to the ZBA meeting.

NOTE: Letter to ZBA sent 10/5/00.

Construction of Wilkes Passage Lofts has lead to a proposed revision of the adjoining Peter’s Park. A preliminary design plan was presented which retains all current facilities (Tot Lot, dog run, various athletic courts, etc.). Expense for the proposed changes would be defrayed by a $75,000 linkage fund from the developers of Wilkes Passage Lofts. Ms. Cahill will return for the 11/1/00 Association meeting to allow for time for input on Member’s concerns; she seeks a letter of support from the Association on the proposed changes.
