Topics of Discussion:
MEETING HELD REMOTELY VIA ZOOM
Ms. Clish called the meeting to order at 7:31 PM.
Ms. Mercier gave an overview of the hybrid meeting set up and procedures.
Sian Permit Aoolication
530 Main Street, Public Kitchen
Mr. Richard Batten of Batten Bros Signs was present on behalf of the application. He
explained that a new restaurant named Public Kitchen has bought the building and is
undergoing renovations. The proposed sign is similar in nature and size to the existing sign; .
however, the sign will be constructed of individual lettering. It shall be illuminated through
halo illumination, none of which shall shine through the letters themselves. The lettering is
2" off of the building fasade and the light shall project backwards onto the faGade.
A projecting blade sign with the business logo is also proposed in the southeast corner of
the building. A blade si9n of the same size exists in the area today.
Mr. D'Arezzo asked what the area of the sign is at 27" in height. He noted that area is
determined from the sign's mazimum height and length. Ms. Mercier replied that the area
calculates to 53.25sf. Mr. D'Arezzo asked what happens when the paint starts to fade and if
light shall shine through such. Mr. Batten replied the siding and facing is constructed of
aluminum so even if fading occurs no light shall shine through. Mr. D'Arezzo asked if the
logo is constructed in the same fashion. Mr. 8atten replied in the affirmative. He provided
more detail on how the lettering is welded, constructed and painted. He noted the paint is
specifically made for signage and metal work and will last 15-20 years.
Ms. Meyer asked if the logo lighting is within the thin lining of the fork and arrow or if it is
on plate. Mr. Batten replied it will be a challenge but lighting is made small enough to place
within the logo itself and no plating is needed.

Ms. Clish opened the application to public comment. None were provided.
Ms. Mercier screen shared the draft Certificate of Appropriateness. She asked if language or
conditions related to logo sizing is needed. Ms. Clish replied that a condition would be a
benefit in the case that the logo size changes due to the proposed illumination style.
Ms. Meye�made a motion to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for a sign
permit appliwtion at 530 Main Street. Mr. D'Arezzo seconded the motion and it
was approved 3-0-0.
Continued Public Hearina. 40R Plan Review
459 Main Street, GC Fodera Contractina. Inc.
Attorney Jesse Schomer, Architect ]effrey Olinger, Traffic Engineer Sam Gregorio and
Applicants Guy Fodera and Guy Manganiello were present on behalf of the application. Peer
review traffic consultants Wing Wong and Amy Allen were also present.
Mr. Schomer stated that beginning with the Green International peer review findings may
make sense. Ms. Clish agreed.
Ms. Allen shared a presentation on-screen. She summarized the items reviewed during the
peer review, including the site plans, traffic impact assessment (TIA) and subsequent
memos.
Ms. Allen noted that minimum sight distances are met, though she added that traffic
congestion can impact such. Due to the potential impacts it is recommended that lek-hand
turning movements out of the Washington Street exit be restricted.
Ms. Allen noted that the project proposing four (4) dedicated commercial parking spaces
would be insufficient under the underlying Business-B zoning. She added that darifications
in the TIA are needed in terms of available public parking and number of parking spaces om
site. Ms. Allen continued that pavemen[ markings and lighting should be installed for the
loading zone so that those entering the site can safely avoid such. She asked that turning
movements be provided for when the loading zone is occupied to ensure the spaces are
accessible. Ms. Allen further added that turning movements and access of emergency
vehicles should be shown.
Ms. Allen suggested pedestrian improvements including accessible curb ramps, textured
crosswalks and new pedestrian signaling equipment at the Main Street and Washington
Street intersection. The peer review also recommended vehicle mitigation methods including
upgreding signal heads and to review the timing/phasing of the signals themselves.
Mr. D'Arezzo asked if required parking was calculated under Section 10.5. Ms. Allen stated
that Section 9.0 was utilized. Mr. D'Arezzo noted that parking requirements under 40R
zoning is different and retail/restaurant does not require any commercial parking for such.
Ms. Clish asked if public parking access is a concern. Mr. D'Arezzo stated access to the retail
by customers is still a concern.
Mr. D'Arezzo added that the brick crosswalks have been problematic. He asked if other
material such as stamped concrete can be utilized. Ms. Allen confirmed alternative materials
and design are available.
Mr. Schomer recommended addressing the conclusions one by one. He stated the Applicant
is agreeable to restricting left-hand turning movements out of the garage. He clarified that a
2
`R �� Town of Reading
e� �„ Meeting Minutes
F ":uKoer�'�
total of 20 parking spaces is proposed, 3 spaces of which are dedicated to the retail
component. Mr. Olinger added that one retail parking space would be able to act as ADA
accessible despite not being signed or restricted as such. Two of the commercial parking
spaces will be assigned to employees and the other shall be flexible use. Mr. Olinqer stated
that additional excess parking may be available for guest parkinq. Mr. D'Arezzo asked if
guest parking can be conditioned. Mr. Schomer replied such is not favorable to the owner as
they would like the parking spaces to be as flexible in use as possible.
Mr. Schomer stated that ADA accessible ramping across the streets shall be provided. He
stated that more clarity on the additional recommendations on crosswalks, signals, etc. is
requested. He continued that the Applicant is open to ideas but wants to ensure more detail
before committing to such.
Mr. Schomer stated a turning movement plan has been developed to demonstrete the use
of parking while the loading zone is occupied and emergency access for an ambulance. He
found that full-sized fire truck access is not required for buildings of such size. Mr. Olinger
shared the turninq plan on-screen. He found information on ambulance sizing information
and that such can be accommodated on-site. He described how the turning movements into
the site would work when the loadinq zone is occupied. Mr. Olinger opined that backing into
the parking spaces while the loading zone is occupied is most feasible.
Mr. D'Arezzo asked about ADA rules and use. Mr. Olinger replied paths must be illuminated
and kept dry but drive aisles are commonly used as such even if not ideal. Mr. D'Arezzo
asked how far off of the wall the loading truck is. Mr. Olinger replied approximately 1-foot.
Ms. Mercier questioned if the loading zone can be pulled fonvard to help improve access to
the retail site. Mr. D'Arezzo stated such may impact the accessibility of the parking spaces.
Ms. Clish asked if deliveries will utilize the front retail door or the door in the garage. She
found that 1-foot off of the wall may limit the ability to use the retail door. Mr. Olinger
replied that the primary concern is fitting all on-site and fine details can be managed by
owners.
Mr. D'Arezzo asked if the turning motion out of parking space #20 is shown clipping the
loading truck. Mr. Olinger replied in the negative and that the turning movement is close to
the striped area but not within the loading space itself. Ms. Allen stated that the turning
movement plan will need to be reviewed in more detail as the peer reviewers have not seen
such.
Mr. Gregorio found that public parking is available within 300-feet of the site but is limited
to street parking. Beyond 300-feet is additional on-street parking and off-street public lots.
He added that retail miz within the downtown will allow for patrons to park at any given site
and walk to their needs. Ms. Meyer stated that at previous hearings it was mentioned that
additional on-street parking may be available for construction. She asked if there is an
update on such. Mr. Schomer replied that the Applicant is willing to work with the Town's
DPW and Parking Task Force on such as a condition but no formal advancements have been
made to date.
Mr. Schomer stated that the Applicant is willing to condition the peer review
recommendation on reviewing signal timing before and after project occupancy. Ms. Clish
asked if signal upgrades are agreeable. Ms. Mercier added that some recommendations
within the peer review warrant review by the Town's PTl"TF and may also require Select
Board approval. Mr. Schomer agreed to follow such process but added that it is typical to do
so later in the development process so that finer details are known.

Ms. Clish asked to clarify available public parking. She stated that the parking exemption is
related to sites within 300-feet of off-street parking lots. Mr. Gregorio replied that on-street
parking is available across Main Street and to the north of the project site. Mr. D'Arezzo
noted that no commercial parking is required based on the retail size. Even if the space is
utiiized as an office the proposal meets minimum parking requirements.
Ms. Meyer stated that recommendations for pedestrian and vehicular improvements is a
benefit and should be ezplored further. Ms. Clish asked Green International if there is
anything more required. Ms. Allen responded that they have not reviewed the formal
responses provided and wil� need to do such.
Ms. Meyer asked about the data utilized in the traffic impact assessment and if it is utilizing
the most recent available date. Mr. Gregorio replied that new data is available however
upon review of such the change is negligible. He stated that outcomes and
recommendations would not be subject to change. Ms. Allen stated that a closer look will be
provided. Ms. Clish found that one additional trip may be an impact at that specific
intersection.
Ms. Clish asked the Applicant to respond to staff comments provided. Mr. Schomer shared a
written letter addressing the comments made by the Reading Fire Department, Reading
Police Department, Reading DPW and the Economic Development office.
Mr. D'Arezzo asked how a field house can be developed before foundation construction. Mr.
Schomer replied it is a temporary structure but ensured all codes and permit requirements
would be met.
Mr. Schomer noted that any future lane closures during construction are expected to be
short-term and temporary. There is no proposal for long-term or permanent lane closure.
Mr. D'Arezzo asked if the sidewalk is to be closed. Mc Schomer replied that the sidewalk
along [he sites Main Street frontage shall be dosed for the duration of construction on the
project. Mr. D'Arezzo stated that Green Street crossing does not utilize any pedestrian
signaling and is a concern askinq pedestrians to cross there. He asked if lane closures no
longer than 24-hours can be expected. Mr. Fodera replied that lane closures are expected
for no longer than 2-hours at a time. Ms. Clish asked if a condition can be placed that no
road closures occur during 'peak road hours'. The Applicant agreed such is amenable.
Mr. Schomer stated snow removal within the fencing, scaffoldinq and jersey barriers shall be
conducted by the Applicant.
Mr. Schomer stated that sidewalks extending beyond to the project site shall remain open at
all times and no staging or construction material shall be stored in front of the Rise475
building. Ms. Clish asked that signage also include language that businesses are open during
construction. Mr. Schomer agreed and also found [hat the proposed material laydown area
is sufficient in size and is placed to best allow access without major disruptions to abutters.
Material storage shall not impede access to the Rise475 building. Ms. Clish asked if large
deliveries can be moved onto the site in a short period of time. Mr. Fodera responded that
materials are delivered in sets and the crane will immediately pull the materials off of the
truck and onto the site.
Ms. Clish asked if there is an estimated number of days expected to request lane closures.
Mr. Fodera stated it is hard to say without a full construction set and schedule. He stated
that trucks will be directed to utilize the rt-125 bypass road towards the north when exiting
the site. He added that box trucks can pull into the site and lane closure is expected only
when large deliveries are needed. Mr. D'Arezzo asked how trucks can be required and

expected to utilize the bypass road. Mr. Fodera replied that they will be bounded by the
contract. Ms. Meyer asked if the additional north bound lane will remain open at all times.
Mr. Fodera replied in the affirmative, even if loading is occurring. Ms. Clish asked if the
Reading Police Department can provide more input on the plan. Mr. Schomer reiterated no
additional material laydown area is needed. He continued that contractor parking and access
to the site is being worked on.
Ms. Clish opened the hearing to public comment.
Ms. Lisa Johnson, 166 Washington Street, stated that the retail parking is not visible from
the street and patrons will not know that the parking exists for use. Ms. ]ohnson asked if no
leR-hand turning movements will be conditioned within the decision. Ms. Mercier replied
that the PTTTF will discuss such but the Police Department may not be able to directly
enforce such out of private property. Ms. Clish found such to be an important element to
mitigate traffic impacts and if it cannot be enforced correctly it will be impactful.
Ms. Johnson asked if the peer reviewer will confirm the recent census data does not
dramatically impact the findings and recommendations. She agreed that a few additional
cars at this intersection can be impactful. Ms. Clish confirmed.
Ms. ]ohnson found that the TIA findings to be concerning. She stated that 138 new vehicle
trips a day should be considered dramatic and impactful. She continued that a lane closure,
even temporary, will add to the congestion in the area. Ms. Johnson provided findinqs she
had personally conducted by viewing the site during the day. She found that approximately
75% of the vehicles at the intersection traveled north and that if they must merge into one
lane it will impact traffic patterns and those who can get through the light cycle.
Ms. Johnson asked about the primary routes to be utilized during construction, specifically if
trucks will exit onto Washington Street. She noted an area in the draft decision for
COrreCtion.
Mr. Bruce Johnson reiterated his concern about the split zoning of his parcel. He found that
the local language on lots in two zones to be confusing. He questioned why his parcel is not
treated as a directly abutting residential zoned parcel and asked the development to treat it
as such, specifically for required setbacks.
Mr. Schomer stated that no truck traffic is to be directed to Washington Street. Mr. D'Arezzo
asked if a box truck can turn around on-site to exit on Main Street. Mr. Fodera replied that a
box truck and a flatbed truck can accommodate the turning movement on-site. Ms. Clish
asked that flatbed trucks not utilize the street for any turning movements. Mr. Schomer
agreed to such. Ms. Clish stated that realistic agreements are needed and that if not held to
such there will be a true detriment. Mr. Fodera agreed and found that thought has been
given in advance to truck access and circulation.
Ms. Mercier clarified the zoning of the abutting parcels the Johnson's own. She stated that
zoning lines do not specifically follow lot lines. The abutters lot is compromised of the 5-15
zoning district and the Business-B/DSGD zoning district She mntinued that under the
DSGD 8ylaw the project site does not directly abut the 5-15 zoning district due to the zone
extending into the Johnson's property. Ms. ]ohnson asked if the lot is considered a
Transitional Area. Ms. Mercier stated that under the DSGD Design Guidelines the property is
treated as a Transitional Area. Mr. Schomer replied that dimensional requirements such as
setbacks are not specifically required to Transitional Areas. Mr. D'Arezzo found that there
are step-back requirements from two-family dwellings within the Design Guidelines Section
7 and Section 50.5 of such also applies. Mr. Johnson questioned why Diagrem C does not

apply. Ms. Clish explained that the building can technically have a setback of 0' but is
proposed at IS' away with additional step-backs at upper levels. She asked to explain such
in a written memo for interpretation. Mr. Johnson asked that split-zoned be defined. Mr.
Schomer stated such will not result in changes or requirements to the project. Ms. Clish
stated she wants such for going forward in the future. Mr. Johnson found that a letter would
be a benefit to clarify.
Mr. Schomer opined that more impactful uses can be developed by-riqht under the
underlying zoning. He stated differing retail uses can be more demanding and would result
in the same conceming issues. Ms. Mercier stated that such would likely trigger a Site Plan
Review and would have conditions placed on such. Mr. Schomer stated that similar
conditions would be placed and the project would not be deniable. Ms. Clish stated that the
traffic impacts of this specific project are under review.
Ms. Meyer suggested signage indicating available retail parking be placed on the site.
Mr. Schomer asked to discuss next s[eps privately with the clients. Upon return Mr.
Schomer opined that the 40R process is intended to be expedited review and stated that the
client is facing issues with the contracting parties. He stated that the Applicant is agreeable
to continue once more to the September meeting and agree to continue the extension of the
hearing to such date. Ms. Mercier stated that extra days will be required to finalize any
decision made. Mr. Schomer agreed and added that many requests have been met
throughout the hearing process and additional items are for review in the future by the
relevant parties in Town Staff. Ms. Mercier stated that Town Counsel will be consulted to
ensure proper deadlines are met and agreed to.
Ms. Meyer made a motion to continue the 40R Plan Review to Septem6e� 12, 2022
at 10:30PM. Mr. D'Arezzo seconded the motion and it was app�oved 3-0-0.

Adootion of 53G
Ms. Mercier explained that while the CPDC has u[ilized Chapter 53G for the hiring of
consultants no records within the minutes showed a vote was made to officially adopt such.
She asked that the Board move to adopt officially the legislation. This will help with clarity in
the future.
Ms. Meyer made a motion for the Reading CPOC to adopt Chapter 53G. Mr.
D'Arezzo seconded the motion and it was approved 3-0-0.

? �c Meeting Minutes
���''w�oa>°e"`yo
Ms. Mercier stated that new procedures are proposed regarding the Affordable Housing
Trust Fund. Ms. Meyer asked for the reasoning for such. Ms. Mercier replied that a trust
does exist but was adopted prior to the State legislation, The current trust requires that the
Select Board and Reading Housing Authority agree on spending. The new language would
allow one overseeing committee to direct spending. Ms. Clish added that Town Meeting has
requested such amendments be considered.
Ms. Mercier stated that Town Meeting must act to reallocate the existing funding, adopt the
proposed language and also authorize a certification of trust be registered. The Select Board
will vote on such November 9, Z022 and will bring such to 2022 Subsequent Town Meeting
in November.
Ms. Clish asked if the proposed language heavily reflects what the State uses. Ms. Mercier
replied in the affirmative but added some language has been revised to better reflect local
processes. Mr. Carlo Bacci of the Select Board agreed that procedures for use is needed. He
added that a Select Board review or approval for additional checks and balances may be
required for costs over a certain amount.
Mr. D'Arezzo asked how much funding currently exists. Mr. 8acci stated it is around
$400,000. Mr. D'Arezzo questioned if the audit language in Section XX.6 is concerning. Mr.
Bacci and Ms. Mercier agreed the language on independent auditors should be reviewed
further.
Ms. Clish asked if CPDC has any purview of the funding or Board. Ms. Mercier replied in the
negative but stated that CPDC can support the proposed article if fitting.
Other Business
Housina Production Plan
Ms. Mercier stated that the update to the Housing Production Plan (HPP) is starting soon. A
kick-off with the working group is scheduled to meet tomorrow, She stated that the HPP is
relevant to maintain or claim safe-harbor from 408 development in the future, so long that
statutory requirements are met.
Ms. Mercier found that scheduling of dates and submissions is important. Anser Advisory
has been contracted as the consultant to help the process. They are also the consultant to
help manage the regional affordable housing group that Reading is a part of.
Ms. Mercier stated that many CPDC members have expressed interest in joining the HPP
working group. She suggested that members rotate in meeting attendance and when public
workshops are scheduled a CPDC agenda posting can be made. Ms. Clish stated that if other
members are interested she would delegate to such. Mr. D'Arezzo suggested that if a body
is needed he can attend. Ms. Meyer stated that [he time mmmitment can be tough and the
revolving members may have merit. Ms. Mercier stated that if ineetings are missed it is not
a bi9 concern and updates can be provided.
Mr. D'Arezzo suggested a CPDC lead and if they cannot attend then other members be
reached out to.
Ms. Mercier asked if later evening meetings are preferred or if day time meetings work
better. She also asked if a member can attend the kick-off at 4:OOpm tomorrow. Ms. Meyer
and Ms. Clish found later evenings to be more conflicting. Ms. Meyer agreed to be the CPOC
lead and Ms. Clish and Mr. D'Arezzo be alternates. Mr. Weston and Ms. Adrian will be
reached out as well. Mc D'Arezzo agreed to attend the kick-off.

Potential Zonina Amendments for 2023
Ms. Mercier updated the Board on a number of zoning initiatives. She agreed with the
Board's prior recommendation that amendments related to housing await the HPP update
and recommendations from such.
Flood Zone
Ms. Mercier stated that new flood maps are expected in early Spring 2023. If the map date
is known prior to 2023 Annual Town Meeting it could be accommodated but likely 2023
Subsequent Town Meeting will be more feasible. Mr. D'Arezzo asked if language on 'most
recent maps' can be used. Ms. Mercier replied the State has indicated the specifics be
required.
MBTA Communities
Ms. Mercier stated there is no information on when final guidelines related to MBTA
Communities will be released.
Life Science
Ms. Mercier found that uses not related to housing are under review. Staff inet with Mr. Nick
Safina to discuss Life Science development comparisons on both zoning requirements and
parcels in Reading. She continued that the Town's zoning is not far off from other
municipalities who have seen such development. Large parcels also exist within the
Industrial Zoning District but timing of property sales is important. She added that if CPDC
does find the use to be a benefit staff can explore an �Ezpedited Permitting' process under
the State. This can allow a schedule of review to be expected for developers. More detail on
levels of use can be defined if desired as well.
Ms. Meyer asked if other municipalities have utilized the ezpedited permitting process. Ms.
Mercier stated more research is needed on such. Mr. D'Arezzo asked if a minimum lot size is
needed. Ms. Mercier stated a comparison is being conducted but there are parcels in Town
comparable to recent Life Science developments.
The Board discussed scheduling of Town Meeting and when is appropriate to bring zoning.
Brewery Distillery or Winery
Mr. MacNichol shared potential language on defining a B�ewery, Distillery or Winery use.
The definitions found from other municipalities renge from very specific to very broad.
Specific definitions describe dimensional limitations, restrictions on amount of beverage
brewed, food requirements etc. He noted that such definitions could be limiting to future
developments though. A less complicated definition can be crafted but externalities of the
use may not be fully captured. A third option that CPDC may consider is treating the use
similar to that of a restaurant, as the existing definition of restaurent may allow such;
however, restaurants are limited in review under the Bylaw.
Mr. MacNichol questioned if CPDC knew why bar and tavems are prohibited in Town. The
definition of such does not mention food requirements and patrons in existing
establishments are not required to purchase food items. It would be important that any
future definition of brewery, distillery o� winery differ and distinguish itself from 6a�and
tavern. Mr. D'Arezzo stated brewers produce on-site. If a commercial kitchen is provided it
could be considered a restaurant. Mr. MacNichol agreed and opined that the primary use of
a brewery is manufacturing and distribution as opposed to a bar/tavern being the primary
8

��a:�xconedJS"o
use of serving. A brewery can allow serving/tasting as an accessory use. He provided
examples of tasting room definitions.
Ms. Meyer asked if a brewery would be prohibited from selling. Mr. D'Arezzo replied in the
negative but would be restricted to selling their own products that are manufactured on-
site. They should not be required to include food sale. Mr. MacNichol agreed that sales be
limited to their own product. Ms. Mercier asked if that would allow a partnership to be
formed with another brewer. Ms. Clish opined that local/craft partnerships should not be
restricted as it allows for business in[en[ives and promotional events.
Ms. Meyer stated definitions should not be overly restrictive as to placement and use of
Tasting Rooms. Ms. Clish agreed. Mr. Carlo Bacci found that food trucks, snacks and other
items should not be restricted and account towards any potential food requirements.
Mr. MacNichol stated the use itself can be regulated in the Table of Uses. Proposed for
consideration is that it be a by-right use in the Industrial Zone and by Special Permit in
business zones. If allowed by-right it is likely that a Site Plan Review would be triggered for
change of use. Ms. Mercier opined that a brewery in a mixed-use building may not be
preferable. Mr. D'Arezzo said that developers of new construction should have this use
planned ahead if desired due to the utility needs. Ms. Clish agreed that a Special Permit
should be required where externalities could impact residents most, especially if a broader
definition is preferred. Mr. MacNichol agreed. He stated that if desired an additional section
to the Special Permit Uses of the bylaw can be developed for breweries. A footnote can also
be provided for the 40R Distritt.
Corner Lots
Mr. MacNichol suggested that a definition and dimensional controls for corner lots be
considered. The Zoning Board and Building Commissioner have requested such for
clarification on proposals going forward.
