Given the location of the proposed tower, you may not have to worry about it blocking the sun past 10AM. You'd think they would almost have to plan the building to be in line with the sun's North-South point - depending on season as well - to be in the way. The concern, however, is definitely noted because a sunny day in Boston was always the best day in my whole life.....as they don't happen as often as I would like (making it surprising to be such a wonderfully outdoors-y city.
