Mr. Weston paid tribute to David Tuttle and held a moment of silence. Continued Public Hearing Maior Modification to Approved Site Plan Review 107 Main Street, Fusilli's Restaurant Michael Palmer and Jeffrey Brem were present for the Application. Ms. Julie Mercier, Community Development Director, said the Applicant recently submitted a slightly revised plan, based on the comments received from the Engineering Division, which shows a change to the handicap parking configuration. Civil Engineer Jeffrey Brem from Meisner Brem Corporation introduced himself and Michael Palmer, the owner of Fusilli's Restaurant, and presented an overview: • The site was formerly Wayside Bazaar; • The lot size is 31,940sf; • The existing use is a restaurant with 49 parking spaces; • The drainage system includes catch basins and stormwater features that drain out towards Hopkins Street; • The roof runoff goes into the infiltration system; • The Community Planning and Development Commission approved the Site Plan Review about a decade ago and the site was built according to plan; • There are two handicap parking spaces and a crosswalk, both with van accessibility; • The lot is split zoned between the Business A and Residential 5-15 zoning districts; • An increase in business caused parking to be off -premises and the Applicant wants to provide employee parking on-site; • The Applicant filed with the Conservation Commission in May, originally proposing 9 parking spaces; Page 1 1 Town of Reading 0% Meeting Minutes e • ' The Wetlands Protection Act Regulations have changed since the first Site Plan Approval, which allowed the wetland line on the site to be moved based on a reflagged wetlands delineation; • The 25' zone of natural vegetation has to be left undisturbed and the 35' no structure has to be left clear of structures; • The Conservation Commission has approved and issued an Order of Conditions for the work as proposed; • The proposal now is for 7 parking spaces to allow for a landscaped buffer for the neighbor to the north; • Trees and Arborvitaes are to be planted to create different heights of screening; • The area is now partially or mostly wooded; • Trees from the original wetlands replication area were removed, and the mitigation for it resulted in additional trees; • As a result of the Engineering Division's request for the drainage to remain on site, a new catch basin was added and infiltration is proposed under the new parking area; • The neighbors to the south were concerned about the open space that abuts the property, but no work is proposed in this area; • An additional handicap space is required due to the total number of parking spaces exceeding 50; and • The new plan presented today shows an existing row of 10 parking spaces adjusted to allow for the 3rd handicap space in a way that doesn't impede the drive aisle. Mr. Brem concluded the overview and said the proposed work in the 5-15 Zoning District would require a Variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). He said the Applicant is aware that the ZBA prefers that all other Town approvals are granted before their review. Ms. Mercier responded she is not sure of this statement, but the ZBA has mentioned recently that CPDC input is helpful. Ms. Hitch said the parking requirement is one space for every four -people, and asked about the capacity of the restaurant. Mr. Palmer replied the capacity is 134 and explained the capacity is limited because of the patron and employee parking requirements. The square footage of the building allows for more but he is not looking to increase the seating capacity only the parking. Ms. Hitch asked if the Applicant has ever explored shared parking with the neighboring businesses to allow employee parking. Mr. Palmer replied there was a lot of discussion in the past, and informally he has used the former Meineke parking lot at 117 Main Street, but the property has recently changed hands; and the property at 95 Main Street has a grade change so it has not been considered. He added valet parking has been discussed but crossing the four -lane roadway makes it difficult to consider using such a service. Mr. Palmer said employee parking was discussed in the past by the Commission and pointed out the area on the site plan. He commented that his abutter to the northeast is the only residential property bothered by the noise. Ms. Hitch suggested approaching 95 Main Street for an agreement to allow the employees to park on the property. Mr. Palmer responded that he has initiated conversations with the owners at 95 Main Street, Meinieke and the gas -station but the businesses were not willing to entertain anything formal. Ms. Hitch explained that it is an overall town question whether businesses will allow shared parking because the hours of operation are different. Mr. Palmer said he is certain the owner of 95 Main Street will not want another business to add wear and tear on his parking lot. Mr. Palmer said his employees start work at 4:00 PM. Ms. Mercier asked how recent the conversation with that owner was. Mr. Palmer said he has a great relationship with the owner but does not feel comfortable bringing up shared parking Page 1 2 Town of Reading i Meeting Minutes again. He said there are businesses at that location that stay open past 5:00 PM and added his employee's vehicles could impact the snow plowing. Ms. Mercier whether Mr. Palmer would consider shared parking if the town stepped in as the broker. Mr. Palmer replied the town is welcome to try it but after his discussion with the owner he believes the response would still be negative towards shared parking. Ms. Hitch said she lives on Bear Hill Road and does not like turning into Hopkins Street with vehicles parking along the street on a regular basis. She questioned as a resident and a member of the Commission if the parking is allowed. Mr. Palmer said originally parking was allowed on both sides of Hopkins Street, and a year after he received his initial Site Plan Approval, the on -street parking was prohibited along the opposite (north) side of the street. Ms. Hitch asked if the proposal will alleviate some of the spillover parking. Mr. Palmer replied the goal for the extra parking is to allow his staff to park on-site, but that a patron could still choose to park on Hopkins Street or at 117 Main Street. Ms. Hitch said she is trying to understand the supply and demand pressures. Mr. Palmer said his property has two private dining rooms and reservations for a large group cannot be made during the week because he does not have enough parking supply. He noted that people convene at Fusilli's from all over, and are often in individual cars, which fills the parking lot and makes the restaurant seem much busier than it is. He said he is putting a lot into this proposal because the 7 additional spaces will help a great deal. Mr. D'Arezzo said when the Town implemented one-sided parking on Hopkins Street the employees were asked not to use the spaces on the street. Mr. Palmer said originally parking was allowed on both sides of the street. Mr. D'Arezzo said parking was allowed on both sides but that it was not intended for employee parking. Mr. Palmer said there was never a conversation specifically about employees parking on the street and when parking on both sides became an issue the Town restricted parking to one side due to an overall safety concern. Mr. D'Arezzo said there was a request to get employees to park on-site. Mr. Palmer said there was a conversation about the employees parking by the dumpster because it is further from the residential abutters. Mr. Brem said the additional parking spaces are for employee parking. Mr. Palmer said he has no intention of increasing the seating capacity. Ms. Mercier said logistically speaking the proposed parking spaces are best for employees because they could be tricky to get in and out of. Mr. D'Arezzo asked for clarification on the swale on the plan. Mr. Brem replied it is an asphalt swale that will go to a new catch basin. Mr. D'Arezzo asked about the dumpster location and how the container can be emptied if a vehicle is parked in the adjacent space. Mr. Palmer replied the dumpster is emptied at 10:00 AM when the restaurant is not open. Mr. D'Arezzo asked how the trash can be put into the container if a vehicle is parked there. Mr. Palmer replied there is enough room to open the doors even with a vehicle there. Mr. D'Arezzo asked if the dumpster should be rotated to make it easier to access. Mr. Brem replied the dumpster is a large, concrete permanent structure. Mr. D'Arezzo asked if the erosion fencing is temporary or permanent. Mr. Brem replied it is temporary during the construction, to stop erosion from going into the wetlands. Ms. Adrian asked if the proposal is sufficient for parking or if there will still be an overflow. Mr. Palmer replied there will always be overflow but this will alleviate some of it, mostly on weekdays. Ms. Hitch said Saturday is the most logical day to have the arrangement for shared parking with the next-door business. She said the Select Board needs to start a discussion and Fusilli's may need to be a test case. Mr. Palmer said the Town is welcome to Page 1 3 Town of Reading 0+IN[Meeting Minutes 04 approach the businesses but the new owner of 117 Main Street is not a local business and the owner of 95 Main Street has been adamant that he is not interested. Mr. Palmer said he is open to the Town being the broker and licensee, and absorbing the insurance and liability. Mr. Weston said shared parking needs to be part of the real estate and needs licensed rights. He said he completely understands why an owner wouldn't participate, because they could potentially be giving up development rights. Ms. Mercier commented there could be terms that could be renewed. Mr. Weston said that from a Site Plan perspective, the license would need to be long-term. Mr. Weston said he is concerned that two of the parking spaces will not work as designed. Mr. Brem explained that they will require more than one turning movement or smaller vehicles. Mr. Palmer said it could be "employee only' parking and marked for staff who work from opening to close. Mr. Brem agreed the spaces will not work for the public. Mr. Weston said a Variance is not an easy hurdle as the thresholds are different than what CPDC considers. He doesn't want to approve a Site Plan conditioned on the receipt of a Variance because it would make the Site Plan null and void if the Variance is not approved, but he said he would consider providing input to the ZBA and keeping the hearing open. Mr. Weston said the original Site Plan approval mentions parking issues, and opined that this proposal is the best solution to address safety and parking concerns. Mr. Weston said prior discussions were about the impact of the change of use on the side yard of the abutting residential property, but did not contemplate the portion of the abutting lot directly adjacent to the wetlands. However, the wetlands regulations have changed and now that parking is allowed in that area the Commission needs to think about the buffer. He suggested installing a new fence on top of the slope along the property line to help reduce the noise and headlight impacts. Mr. Palmer suggested replacing the neighbor's existing fence with an 8 -foot fence so the neighbor doesn't have to look at fence -on -fence. Mr. Weston replied the onus is on Mr. Palmer to maintain a fence to block out his use. Mr. Palmer said he would maintain the fence and replace it if required. Mr. Brem said there is a large silver maple tree on the property line, so the fence should start at base of the tree and go to the 25' no disturb zone. Ms. Mercier suggested the Applicant review this idea with Chuck Tirone, Conservation Agent, to make sure a fence is allowed. Ms. Adrian asked if Fusilli's provides valet parking. Mr. Palmer replied the service is not offered because of the difficulties with people crossing Main Street. Ms. Hitch said there have been discussions about installing a pedestrian light at Hopkins Street. Mr. Weston asked about the proposed ADA changes. Mr. Brem explained that a row of parking will be shifted closer to the side fence, but will still leave 15' for the laundry truck to come in and out. He said he worked with the Town Engineer, Ryan Percival, to solve the ADA issue. Mr. Weston opened the public hearing to public comment. Patricia Dababneh from 113 Hopkins Street said she is the first house on Hopkins Street that abuts Fusilli's Restaurant and asked for clarification on why a Variance is required. Ms. Mercier explained why a use Variance is required: parking for a commercial use is not allowed in the S-15 Zoning District. Ms. Dababneh said the Order of Conditions that was issued by the Conservation Commission is not final because she appealed it. Page 14 Town of Reading 0�a a Meeting Minutes •J•�INfM Ms. Dababneh said prior to this public hearing she has come to the Town Hall with several concerns about the property: • Recently, a tree was removed in the wetland buffer without a permit; • The incident was never resolved and it merged into the new Order of Conditions; • The Conservation Commission had difficulty getting Mr. Palmer to attend a meeting; • There was prior discussion with the Commission requiring signage for 8 employee parking spaces on site; • The parking on both sides of Hopkins Street lasted less than a year because it became dangerous; • The residents on Hopkins Street were initially asked if they wanted "no parking" signs on their side but the residents wanted a place for their visitors to park, it was agreed employees wouldn't park on the street; • The first parking space on the street that is used is in front of her house which causes difficulties when she backs out onto Hopkins Street; • Mr. Palmer always says he needs additional parking but often the lot is empty and the employees still park on the street; • There are so many issues, it is hard to believe Mr. Palmer will comply with anything in the future; • She would like "no parking" on her side of Hopkins Street if possible; • The Applicant is seeking new approvals when there are old issues outstanding; • It was agreed during the Conservation Commission process that the mitigation and prior tree removal would be addressed within 12 months - this was omitted in the Order of Conditions, which is part of her appeal; • She requested the Commission to postpone their Site Plan decision until the Conservation appeal is heard; • Initially no parking was allowed in the back alley but there are always vehicles there; • There are two parking spaces by the dumpster; • Tonight, there are vehicles parked on Hopkins Street and there are parking spaces available in the lot; and • The existing parking is more than adequate if the seat capacity is not increasing. Mr. Weston explained the different jurisdictions: the Conservation Commission authorizes tree removal and the Select Board has control over the street parking. Ms. Dababneh replied that Mr. Brem said at another meeting the goal for the additional parking spaces was to alleviate the parking on Hopkins Street and said she would like a "no parking" sign in front of her house. Mr. Weston reiterated that the Commission has no jurisdiction on restricting on -street parking, they can only recommend it to the Select Board. Ms. Hitch said the Commission can review employee parking and usage of the new spots on site. Mr. Weston said if he were a business owner, he would want his employees to park in areas where patrons won't park so patrons can pull into a parking space with ease. Ms. Dababneh said the original approval required 8 employee parking spaces on site. Mr. Weston replied the Decision from 2009 doesn't include conditions about employee parking. He said there was a discussion about the spaces in front of the dumpster and because they are difficult to maneuver the employees should be encouraged to park there. Ms. Dababneh said the discussion is in meeting minutes. Mr. Weston said adding the parking spaces would help some of the safety concerns about parking on Hopkins Street. Ms. Dababneh listed everything being done that she feels shouldn't be: • Trees and vegetation that have been removed without a permit and not replaced - little by little there will be nothing left; • A fence -on -fence condition is not pleasant to look at; and • She questioned where the accountability lies. Page 1 5 Town of Reading 0� g Meeting Minutes 'u.,rK Ms. Dababneh continued and said she understands each Board/Commission has their own purview but wants the Commission to take into consideration all of the concerns. The Commission should look into: • Employee parking; • "Right -Turn -Only" signage; • There is parking by the dumpster that shouldn't be allowed; • Snow removal equipment and vehicles parking in the alley; and • Someone should be held accountable before allowing new things to happen. Mr. Weston acknowledged Ms. Dababneh's frustration, and said if the Site Plan is approved there should be a condition that the proposed parking spaces are for employee parking. He asked if there are other operational conditions that should be considered. He asked the Commission how they would like to address the Variance. Ms. Hitch asked for clarification on the sequencing on Town approval. Ms. Mercier explained the sequencing challenges that could arise from the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) decision. She said both staff and the Applicant overlooked the fact that the proposal would need a Variance. The preferred approach would have been for the Applicant to have gone to the ZBA first to make sure the Variance is granted because it could impact the whole development. Ms. Mercier suggested the public hearing stay open until the Applicant goes to the ZBA. The Commission can provide feedback and see the outcome before the Site Plan is tied to the Variance. Mr. Weston said he is concerned about influencing the ZBA, and does not want them to think because the Site Plan is approved the concept is endorsed. Ms. Mercier said if the Commission feels strongly this is a good solution for the property then the Commission could send feedback to the ZBA that they endorse the concept. Ms. Hitch gave her opinion this is the only solution that will help with the business owners perspective and alleviate some of the neighborhood concerns. Ms. Hitch said the signage needs to be improved overall. She noted things that were part of the original plan that haven't been enforced in a strong enough way - "right -hand -turn only", "exit only" onto Hopkins Street and requiring the employees to park in the lot. Ms. Mercier asked for clarification on the sequencing. Mr. Weston replied the Commission could report to the ZBA that the site plan is appropriate from a design perspective but make no comment about the use. Ms. Hitch said she would like to consider some review of the traffic impacts on the street in case it does go to the Select Board in the future to see if the proposed changes made an impact. Ms. Dababneh said the approval cannot go forward until the appeal is decided. Mr. Weston responded the Commission can move the hearing forward because the CPDC is a separate Board from the Conservation Commission and each Board issues their own Decisions. Ms. Hitch read part of the Decision in regard to parking and suggested Mr. Palmer approach the owners of Harrow's Restaurant to lease some parking spaces. Mr. Palmer replied leasing some parking spaces is not conducive to business. Ms. Hitch commented that at some point in time it may be a business necessity. Mr. Palmer said the Town might have concerns with people crossing Main Street. Mr. Weston agreed the Police Department will never endorse it because it is too dangerous. Mr. D'Arezzo asked if there is any striping for the Fire Department. Ms. Mercier replied the Fire Department is okay with the plan. They have access to the building on three sides. Mr. D'Arezzo commented that he preferred the Applicant went to the ZBA first and added he is sure the Applicant is aware about the zoning issue. The Commission cannot finalize a Site Plan without the ZBA Decision. Mr. Weston said the Applicant has a plan that gets filed with the Decision. Mr. D'Arezzo said a Variance from the ZBA is most stringent of all. Page 16 Town of Reading 0 Meeting Minutes Mr. Weston said in terms of a design, the Commission agrees with the design without commenting on the use. He said he would like to see two changes to the Site Plan - in coordination with the abutter, add a fence to northeast side and the removal of two (2) unusable snow storage areas because the snow is hauled off-site. Mr. D'Arezzo asked if there should be a condition requiring the Applicant to work with the abutter to install a new 8 -foot fence. Mr. Weston said the Applicant is required to come back to the Commission if the Variance is granted. Ms. Mercier said the staff will pass feedback onto the ZBA that the Commission approves the design but makes no comment on the use. Ms. Adrian said she would like to see some improvements from the Applicant that he is acting in good faith and should make all attempts to use available on-site parking for employees. Mr. Palmer requested clarification on what Ms. Adrian is requesting. Ms. Adrian replied available on-site employee parking should be designated and used as such. Mr. Palmer asked if she is requesting signage to be installed. Ms. Adrian confirmed she would like signs installed. Mr. Weston said he is not in favor of signage if not required. Mr. Palmer replied there is plenty of signage on the site. Mr. Weston said the Applicant should communicate to the employees they should be parking along the southerly edge of the property. Ms. Hitch made a motion to continue the public hearing for the Major Modification to an Approved Site Pian at 107 Main Street Fuslifi's Restaurant to December 9, 2019 at 7:30 PM. The motion was seconded by Ms. Adrian and approved with a 4- 0-0 vote. Continued Public Hearing.

Planning Updates and Other Topics • Ms. Mercier confirmed the Commission is all set for Town Meeting; Town Counsel has the draft articles and staff is awaiting feedback. She has been working on the presentations that will be presented by the CPDC members and Town Counsel. Page 17 Town of Reading 0 Meeting Minutes Discussion of Downtown Smart Growth District Design Guidelines Ms. Mercier said she reviewed the feedback received for the Design Guidelines from a previous meeting and wanted to make sure the Commission is still on the same page. Mr. Weston summarized the reason the Commission started the review of the Design Guidelines. After a discussion, it was agreed the discussion will be continued to the October meeting to allow time for staff to revisit the revisions. • Mr. Weston informed the Commission the top of the trees at Linear Properties, 345 Main Street, were lopped off. Ms. Mercier said the owner contacted the Town last year for approval to replace the existing trees to make the signage more visible. After reviewing the file, staff informed the owner the request cannot be approved. She requested the Commission to let staff know if they see these types of things that seem irregular so the Town can investigate. • Ms. Mercier reviewed what is tentatively scheduled to be on the October agenda. Board Reorganization in compliance with General Bylaw Section 3.3 Ms. Mercier said she was recently told the Commission technically is required to have a Chair and Vice -Chair and not a secretary. Mr. D'Arezzo made a motion to change Ms. Hitch's current title of Secretary to Vice Chair. The motion was seconded by Ms. Adrian and approved with a 4-0-0 vote. Other Business • Ms. Adrian asked about the proposed development at 259-267 Main Street and when the Commission will review the application. Ms. Mercier said the property is split zoned, and that the proposal is for a 28 -unit residential building in the A-40 portion of the lot, with some parking in the S-15 portion which requires a Special Permit from the ZBA. She noted that the CPDC should be seeing the application in the fall. • Ms. Mercier commented that the Howard Street subdivision is still working out the wetlands delineation with the Conservation Commission. • Mr. D'Arezzo asked for clarification on what to do about a potential conflict of interest. Ms. Mercier suggested Mr. D'Arezzo contact the State Ethics Division and that she will forward him the information. • Ms. Adrian asked about a quorum and if there is a requirement to have five (5) voting members. Ms. Mercier explained three (3) is a quorum for a meeting and four (4) for a Special Permit. She said the open position will be advertised. • Ms. Mercier informed the Commission about the Economic Development Event that is being held at the Pleasant Street Center on September 18, 2019. • Ms. Adrian asked for clarification on the letter she received from the Town Clerk about having to be sworn in even though her term has not expired.
