EOEA #6744 ENF Certificate October 26. 1987 



If there is a potential for a parking shortfall, the report 

 should be forthcoming, and overflow parking areas off site should 

 be identified. 



Plans should be presented showing all surface and 

 underground parking spaces, access and egress driveways, and 

 space allocation by user group. Spaces dedicated for public use 

 should be identified. The EIR should also present additional 

 detail about the subterranean parking garage, such as volumes of 

 excavate, quality of the material and disposal options, 

 structural considerations, etc. 



C.91 - Tidelands Licensing 



A chronology of the tidelands licensing history of all 

 existing structures and fill on site should be provided. Include 

 copies of licenses, title documents, and permits in a technical 

 appendix. From this historical license review, plans should be 

 presented to show the most landward position of record of the 

 historical high water and extreme low water marks at the site. 

 The EIR should evaluate the historic records, and the bounds of 

 the Commonwealth tidelands should be delineated at a sufficient 

 scale to visually understand which activities have been proposed 

 in those tidelands. Commonwealth tidelands should also be 

 clearly distinguished from any private tidelands that might exist 

 at the site. 



Elements of this project are non-maritime-dependent. 

 Therefore, the tidelands analysis should address itself to the 

 public's interests in those tidelands. For the non-water- 

 dependent aspects of the project, it should be demonstrated that 

 the project serves a proper public purpose, that there is a net 

 public benefit, and that the project is consistent with the 

 policies of Coastal Zone Management. 



The public access plan, site edge treatment, and 

 alternatives should be presented in context with c. 91 licensing 

 issues. A detailed description of the potential accessways , open 

 spaces areas, public amenities, and features should demonstrate 

 that the program conforms with and enhances the standards and 

 objectives of the Harborpark Plan 'and other applicable 

 neighborhood plans. 



This site is uniquely situated, in relationship to important 

 Boston historical parks and landmarks. As has been pointed out 

 in a number of comments, this site offers special opportunities 

 and challenges with respect to public access. The potential for 

 linkage of this site with the Freedom Trail, and the Paul Revere 

 Landing Park has been identified by the proponent. Also within
