Real Estate Matter:
- Update 75 Pleasant Street: A letter was provided to the Board from the Historical Comir ission
regarding their opinion of our proposal to demolish the structure at 75 Pleasant Street. The
Commission maintains its position that all efforts be made to retain the building. The RHA Board
reviewed all of our options regarding this project. We do not wish to sell the property and a re ab of
the house, full or partial, does not meet with our approval. That opinion has been based on the results
of a study provided to us by contracted consultants. At this time, the Reading Housing Authority will
maintain their goals for six new units of affordable housing at this site. The Board feels compe led to
proceed with a LIP application and make our presentation to the Board of Selectmen at this time.
Although the Board discussed the possibility of pulling a demolition permit, it was decided t hold
off on making that request until the next phase of our project. Executive Director will contact own
Manager to inform him of our plans and seek his assistance. Architect, Rick Fenuccio will also be
informed of our decision and remind him of preparing a design that is within our contracted budget.
The Board will be kept apprised of our progress.
