I agree that there are benefits of using the Washington Ave site as a staging area and secondary access.
 
I suggest you prepare an "amended Construction Management Plan" to be submitted to me -  I will have Planning, DPS, Inspections and Traffic review and approve it prior to the start of any work on the site.  I also will ensure that the Director of Planning, and the Development Review Services Manager, and the Director of Inspections are part of the review given the unusual nature of this development and the scale of public concern during the review.
 
The amended CMP should include:
Phasing plan of some sort with timetables
What notifications to neighbors will be given
Each construction access point and the period of time months, and what days/times, it will be used
Timings for utility work in ROW and any changes to ROW details and impacts on traffic (and how managed)
For the Waterhouse site, show:
•	exact location of the staging area and the truck access and routing
•	what fencing and other steps will be taken to minimize impacts on the nearby residential properties-  please locate the main activity area as far from properties on East Cove Street as possible
•	show sightlines onto Washington Ave are safe (as speeds and traffic levels are much higher than Walnut) and sidewalk not impacted
•	show that erosion control measures will be in place, along with cleaning of truck wheels and dust management
•	for the Waterhouse site have a separate plan that shows the reinstatement of trees and vegetation, especially screening with neighbors and screening of the proposed development
for the Walnut St access, show:
•	where safe routing for pedestrians will be located and what warnings will be in place (this is a school walking route I understand)
•	any changes in  on street parking arrangements
•	any proposed traffic detours
•	truck routes to the site access 
•	show that erosion control measures will be in place, along with cleaning of truck wheels and dust management
•	indicate what steps being taken to minimize impacts on neighbors and their use of Walnut and Sheridan for access

I have attached some examples (CMTC1-4 are all for the Marriott on Commercial Street, for different phases of the construction) although none of these include all of the issues that the Munjoy Heights project will have-   and there may be some other issues raised by reviewers when we look at your plan that I have not listed.
 
The purpose of the plan is to document that all safety measures and reasonable consideration of neighbors has been arranged for all aspects of the construction process, and where there are impacts on the public ROW or private homes/businesses, that these minimized and known to relevant City staff.  
 
We realize that there will be some changes as the project goes along, and Phil DiPierro will be the main point of contact on this after the (amended) Construction Management Plan is approved. 
 
Please do not hesitate to call if there are any questions.
 
thank you
Jean
