The 1990 Development Plan incorrectly stated that the Site contained 1,080,211 SF. The 1990 Development Plan appears
to have omitted the separate lot areas for each of the 3 Avalon buildings (Fairfield--12,032 SF; Boylston--11,951 SF;
Gloucester--12,028 SF). The correction of this scrivener’s error was corrected by the BRA in a letter from Director O’Brien
dated March 24, 1999 and also is reflected in the 3rd Amendment to Development Plan approved by the BRA in 2002.
