Motion passed 11 -1 Food and Bevyage_ No report. Swim & Tennis The Big Meet held at Meadow Brook was an outstanding success. The organization and the planning for the meet was superb. The Swim Committee should be congratulated for (` presenting a first rate meet. Our swim team won first place over the other five teams, a first in over 20 years. 6. Old Business The lawyer representing Robert Kaminer, a member of our club, has requested that we retum,the initiation fee that Mr Kaminer paid to have his name placed on the Limited Golf waiting list. The Board discussed this issue for a long period of time. Mr Kaminer states that he was counseled by a member of the Board that he could have his fee returned if he did not want to pay an increased initiation fee at a later date. The argument on returning the initiation fee is that if we returned to him the initiation fee, then we would be in a position of returning initiation fees to all members past or present if they requested same. The following motion was made: 8/26/04 - MOTION - TO RETURN LIMITED GOLF RUJIA'1TION FEE TO R013 ERT KA1V MR Moved that we write a letter to Robert Kammer offering him a return of his initiation fee for Limited Golf of $1125.00. 11 against the motion, 1 abstention CGS 1 I tA G6 1 3M, =1 r M- OQ BEAD 'BEAM pos-r po;�7 LABEL LENGTH CUNT SPACING, A 14!' 19 1*/4� 3- T 3 4,, I r 4!f .2 1'. 1/ 2 G 22' 9- 112" 4 T 6" D :3.1 i -1/21` .

Anyone interested in this unit can contact the Housing Authority Office. S-a' / Board of Selectmen Meeting — November 20, 2007 — Page 2 • Compost Center last day of operation is on December 2nd. • Compost Center is open for X -Mas trees — January 12, 2008. • Kudos for Sharon Thomas, Marie Ammer and Sue Reardon of Elder /Human Services, and Arthur Menezes and Jon Reed of the DPW for once again bearing the cold this past Wednesday to collect Thanksgiving baskets from generous Readingites and distributing them to families in need. They exemplify the holiday spirit. • Make -up flu clinic will be set up and advertised. Credit for running a very successful flu clinic goes to the Health Services Administrator Larry Ramdin, acting PH Nurse Diane Luther, Community Services Clerk Darlene Foley, and the prep work from the retired Health Services Administrator Jane Fiore and former PH Nurse Trish Faulkner. The Assistant Town Manager noted that 1 % of the revenues have been certified as new growth. Discussion/Action Items Town Accountant Quarterly Meeting — Town Accountant Gail LaPointe was present and gave an update on her activities since her last report. Ms. LaPointe noted that the new financial platform will use a purchase order system. This will give Department Heads better control over purchasing. Chairman James Bonazoli asked about centralized purchasing,, and Ms. LaPointe indicated that larger communities use centralized purchasing but our departments do not do much bulk ordering, but the office supplies are centralized. The Town Manager noted that DPW bids fuel with other communities, and we purchase a lot from the State Contract. Ms. LaPointe also noted that the School Department goes out to bid with other communities for bulk supplies. Chamber of Commerce re: Tree Lighting — Irene Collins and Mike Giacalone from the Chamber of Commerce were present. The Town Manager noted that the Town is making the transition to LED lights. Any new lights purchased will be LED. Ms. Collins reviewed the events planned for the Lighting Festival, and noted that this is the 17th year of the Lighting Festival and the Chamber of Commerce pays for the lights.. Presentation on "World Cafe" — Deb Gilburg and Kerry Dunnell were present to represent the World Cafe. Ms. Gilburg noted that the World Cafe is a conversation process where large groups of people breakdown in small groups. This is open to everyone , and the benefit is to get data from the public. This process helps organizations to collaborate and bring people together in the community. Selectman Camille Anthony noted that substance abuse and traffic are big issues. Ms. Gilburg noted that the question has to be important to the people. At the last World Cafe, the discussion was about how important the Downtown was as a place for people to gather — parking was never mentioned. 5a,74--- Board of Selectmen Meeting_ November 20 2007 — Page 3 Ms. Gilburg noted that she can be reached at readingworldcafeAyahaoo.com. Review of Traffic Study and Fiscal Impact Addison- Wesley/Pearson — Scott Weiss, Ted Tye and John Connery were present. The Town Manager noted that a Fiscal Impact Analysis and Traffic Study were done on the Addison - Wesley project. There is a Special Town Meeting on December 10, 2007 for zoning amendments. Fiscal Impact Scott Weiss noted that there is a positive financial impact on the Town. John Connery noted that the development will consist of mixed use — commercial, apartment development, town houses and senior assisted living facilities. The apartments and townhouses will be one and two bedrooms and are a family oriented product. The net fiscal benefit to the Town will be $399,000. The annual gross revenue will be $1,059,000, and the cost will be $660,000. Mr. Connery noted that he figured a per pupil cost that is higher than net school spending because there is no capital cost included. He also noted that the regional average is 1.4 children per unit and he used 1.35. The school amount includes teacher's salary of $70,000, added a bus route, SPED, supplies, books. He spoke with police and fire and added another 100 trips to the assisted living facility. Mr. Connery noted that the total assessed evaluation will be $80 million when fully developed versus the $17 million of what it is assessed at now. The short term benefits will be $650,000 in permit fees, and $956,000 40R payments from the Commonwealth of which $350,000 will be received upon, adoption of the 40R overlay. The remainder will come when the building permits are issued. Selectman Richard Schubert asked about the Department of Public Works, and Mr. Connery noted that a small amount was added for trash pick up at the townhouses. He also noted that he added 2.50 FTE at $70,000 each for the Police and Fire Departments. Selectman Ben Tafoya asked about the educational cost per pupil. Mr. Connery noted that $293,000 divided by 29 students equals $10,000 per pupil. School Committee Member Elaine Webb noted that the number is not the same as the net school spending number because the neighborhood schools are at capacity so the children would have to be bussed to a school that has room. Finance Committee Member Tom White asked for historical data from other towns. Mr. Connery noted that the apartments /condos and commercial. developments are relatively stable. Finance Committee Member George Hines noted that the biggest hit to the Town are the three bedrooms, and he suggested negotiating it out of the agreement. Finance Committee Member Barry Berman noted that the assessed $450,000 for townhouses is slightly higher than realistic. Mr. Connery noted that he reduced it $50 to $250 per square foot S&3 Board of Selectmen Meeting — November 20, 2007 — Page 4 sales value. Mr. Berman noted that there has already been increased police activity with the other developments in Town, and Mr. Connery noted that he already assigned a higher safety and DPW costs than other developments. Mr. Berman asked if there were any capital inclusions, and Mr. Connery noted that this development does not add to capital — there is no need for an additional ambulance or schools, etc. Finance Committee Member Matt Wilson asked about an increase on utilities. Mr. Connery noted that there will be no overload on water or utilities. Town Engineer George Zambouras noted that the developer may have to make some upgrades to the sewer system in order for the project to be possible. A motion by Grimes seconded by Greenfield to adjourn the Finance Committee Meeting at 9.30 p.m. was approved by a vote of 6 -0 -0. Traffic Study Alan Kludier from VHB reviewed the traffic study. He noted that a number of intersections were studied. He proposes widening South Street at Main Street and re -align South Street/Jacob Way. He also suggests adjusting the traffic signal operations and providing pedestrian connectivity to and through the site. Selectman Camille Anthony asked if realignment was necessary, and Mr. K.ludier noted that he would like to "T" off South Street or Jacob Way. Ted Tye noted that is the Town's decision to make. Mr. Zambouras suggested taking the plan that will eliminate the most cut - through traffic. Chairman James Bonazoli asked about the Main Street improvements that were previously proposed, and Mr. Zambouras noted that our peer review is looking at this. Vote to Consolidate the Presidential Primary Election with the Town Election — Chairman James Bonazoli noted that the State has moved the Presidential Primary to February 5, 2008 and if the Town moves the Local Election to that date, we will save $10,000. Selectman Richard Schubert noted that he had concerns regarding moving the Local Election to February because we could miss possible new candidates. Chairman James Bonazoli noted that the Town Clerk notified Town Meeting last week, and will re- notify at the Special Town Meeting on December 10, 2007. A motion by Anthony seconded by Goldy to approve consolidating the Local Election with the Presidential Primary which, depending on the action of the State legislature, will be either February 5, 2008 or March 4, 2008 was approved by a vote of 4 -1 -0, with Schubert opposed. Presentation of Police Department Strategic Plan — Police Chief James Cormier, Lt. Michael Cloonan, Lt. Richard Robbins, Lt. David Stamatis, Police Business Administrator Andrew Scribner and Consultant Jim Jordan were present. 5�N Board of Selectmen Meeting — November 20 2007.— Page 5 Chief Cormier noted that consultant Jim Jordan was hired to help develop a strategic plan for dealing with upcoming retirements. Mr. Jordan noted that traffic and substance abuse are the biggest concerns in the community, and that is something that the Board of Selectmen and Police need to discuss. He strongly recominends a GEO Base strategy to policing. Chief Cormier noted that the Town is divided into sectors. He will work with the Police Officers to see if they want to dedicate their time to a certain section or be more community based. Mr. Jordan noted that the Chief is developing his lead staff into leadership. He also noted that the department needs to increase in strength to keep up with growth but the number of Police Officers is a policy decision. Selectman Camille .Anthony asked if we are meeting the direction of other Police Departments, and Mr. Jordan indicated that our department has a lot of energy, is open minded and there is a healthy relationship between the Town and the Police Department.

Reports and Comments Selectmen's Liaison Reports and Comments — Selectman Camille Anthony noted that the Board received a letter from a resident regarding the Compost Center. The Town Manager noted that the concern is that the upper end of Grove Street is the only access to the Compost Center, and there are issues with speed and cleanliness. He also noted that the only way to reduce that is to go back to curbside collection. Selectman Richard Schubert noted that curbside collection is a service that is beneficial to most people. The Assistant Town Manager noted that DPW Director Ted McIntire is also looking at environmental green solutions. Selectman Camille Anthony requested that the Town Manager put on a future agenda the need for a process for responding to e- mails, a need for a process for raising money for public land, buildings and playgrounds, and a need for a recycling group. Selectman Richard Schubert noted that an e -mail was received regarding the potential health risks of synthetic fields. The Town Manager noted that the Town of Concord looked at this, and the Netherlands did an investigation and no health risks were found.

Board of Selectmen Meeting- November 27 2007 — Page 2 Public Comment — Bill: Herrick, a resident of Reading for 21 years, stated that he works in the addiction recovery field.. He noted that the Atlantic Food Mart is law abiding but irresponsible in advertising and marketing. They site studies that alcohol is good for your health, and post the studies next to the ice cream and snack foods. He feels that the Atlantic Mart is only interested in profit at the expense of vulnerable children. He also noted that the Atlantic cannot police itself, and he is opposed to renewing their license. Bill Brown noted that when the dump was open, the Town allowed local contractors to use it for leaves, and the Selectmen might want to consider allowing this again.

He also noted that compliance is good with all the licensees, and he inspects all the establishments before the licenses are issued. Selectman Richard Schubert noted that he wants further discussion with the Atlantic Mart regarding the advertising and suggested restricting their license. He also suggested adding to the conditions on all of the licenses that their license is subject to a successful inspection by the Town Manager. The Town Manager noted that he will notify the Atlantic Mart that the Selectmen's expectation is that there will be no advertising the benefits of alcohol. The consensus of the Board was to have a representative from the Atlantic Mart come in on December 18th to discuss the issue of advertising. Carmen Cavallo, owner of the Venetian Moon Restaurant was present. The Town Manager noted that specific conditions of the site plan waiver have not been met. Town Counsel has indicated that it is an issue with the property owner. Mr. Cavallo noted that he has no control over the landlord. The Town Manager noted that the Town is ready to initiate enforcement. Vice Chairman Stephen Goldy noted that he has been approached by residents who state that the live entertainment was supposed to be light dinner music but people note that it is not light entertainment. Mr. Cavallo noted that the downstairs does get busy and noisy. Vice Chairman Stephen Goldy noted that he has had reports of customers being served liquor when the kitchen closed early and no food was being served. Mr. Cavallo noted that this was the first time he has heard about this. The Town Manager noted that is a violation of his license, and that the kitchen must be open while alcohol is being served. Selectman Ben Tafoya suggested revisiting this issue on February 1, 2008 after the Town Manager and staff meet with the property owner and the restaurant owner. 5'1'3 Board of Selectmen Meeting — November 27 2007 — Page 4 A motion by Tafoya seconded by Schubert to approve the All Alcoholic Club Liquor Licenses for: ♦ ReadinjZ Overseas Veterans, Inc d /b /a Reading Overseas Veterans, 575 Main Street ♦ Meadow Brook Golf Corp d /b /a Meadow Brook Golf Club, 292 Grove Street ♦ Home Building Corp d/b /a Knights of Columbus, 11 Sanborn Street e Reading Veterans' Association, Inc d /b /a American Legion Post 62, 37Ash Street . for a term expiring December 31, 2008 subject to the following conditions: All Bylaws, Rules and Regulations of the Town of Reading and of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall be followed, and subject to a satisfactory inspection of the establishment by the Town Manager was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0.

Discussion of 100 Sean Requirement for Full Restaurant Liquor License — The Town Manager asked if the Board wanted to consider changing the threshold of seats for an all alcoholic license. Vice Chairman Stephen Goldy asked what the process was, and the Town Manager indicated that it has to go on the ballot and it takes an act of the legislature. The Town Manager noted that no bars are allowed for beer and wine licenses, and the Selectmen could do the same for fewer seats. The Board directed the Town Manager to research the process, find out if a waiver is possible, survey other communities and get their policies. Hearing — Tax Classification — The Secretary read the hearing notice. Assessor Dave Billard, and Board of Assessor Members Bob Nordstrand, Ralph Colorusso and Frank Golden were present. Mr. Billard noted that the Selectmen need to vote on four classes: Residential factor, open space discount, residential exemption and commercial exemption. He also noted that the Tax Classification Task Force recommends a 10% shift of the residential rate from $12.60 to $12.49, and the commercial rate from $12.60 to $13.98. In that scenario, the residents save 1% and the commercial increases 10 %. The exemption would take 10% off the value and then tax on that. Russ Graham, Chairman of the Economic Development Committee, noted that the committee recommends that -the Selectmen do not change. He stated that the perception business owners get is that Reading is not friendly to businesses. He also noted that the Downtown project is about to begin and this is bad timing. Selectman Camille Anthony noted that she is in favor of staying with a residential factor of one because the savings on the residential side is not that great. Selectman Ben Tafoya noted that he supports the recommendation of the Tax Classification Task Force. Selectman Richard Schubert noted that he is in favor of keeping the residential factor of one because the Town is trying to create an enviroiunent with new businesses, and the Downtown project will be a challenge. There are also vacancy issues. 5�g.s Board of Selectmen Meeting_ November 27, 2007 — Page 6 Selectman Ben Tafoya noted that all but two of the surrounding communities have a higher commercial rate. He also noted that the Town is investing $650,000 into the Downtown Streetscape project, and 92% of that comes from the residential tax payers. He noted that he has received e -mails from residents who are concerned that there is no tax relief with all the growth in Town. Vice Chairman Stephen Goldy noted that he is leaning towards tradition. Chairman James Bonazoli asked if the commercial rate was not increased, what would the businesses do to help the growth in Downtown. Leslie McGonagle, member of the Economic Development Committee, noted that the Economic Development Committee has been meeting with property owners regarding face lifts. If the taxes are increased, then they won't spend money on face lifts. Mike Giacalone, President of the Reading/North Reading Chamber of Commerce, noted that the Chamber voted against a tax split in any form. He also noted that commercial properties do not utilize schools, and they pay for their own trash removal and snow plowing. Splitting the tax rate will not increase the amount collected, just who you get it from. Vice Chairman Stephen Goldy asked what the residents get in return when they are the only ones investing. Ken Rosetti, the Chamber of Commerce representative on the Tax Classification Task Force, noted that the businesses give charitable contributions and sponsor the lighting festival. Selectman Ben Tafoya noted that a tax split has never been a problem with other towns. Attorney Brad Latham noted that the business owners are working on beautifying their properties and give donations to PTO's for schools. Julie Thurlow, President of the Reading Co- Operative Bank, noted that the Chamber of Commerce has over 300 members, and all of the businesses are available when needed. Peter Simms, Simms Jewelers, noted that the Downtown revitalization began 14 years ago, and there are a lot of vacancies and a lot of change. Mark Hall, 2 Haven Street, noted that he invested a lot of money in Reading, and he has made large improvements and other businesses are improving. Torn O'Connor, a business owner, noted that the tax rate is too much of a burden for a .family owned business. Priscilla Gottwald noted that the RMLD is buying LED lights for the Downtown, and the Light Department is dedicated to green choice and power. Bill Crowley, 42 Locust Street, noted that he is opposed to the split rate. S-6"6 Board of Selectmen Meeting — November 27 2007 — Page 7 John Douglas, 25 Sanborn Street, noted that he always gives donations, and he loves to work with the Town to revitalize. Dick Haggerty, 531 Main Street, noted that the Chronicle is the oldest ongoing business in Reading. A motion by Anthony seconded by Goldy to close the hearing on setting the tax rate for Fiscal Year 2008 was approved by a vote of 5 -0 -0. A motion by Anthony seconded by Goldy to adopt a residential factor of one for Fiscal Year 2008 was approved by a vote of 4 -1 -0, with Tafoya opposed.

Cormier, Chief of Police Camille Anthony, Board of Selectmen Ben Tafoya, Board of Selectmen Peter Hechenbleiker, Town Manager Town of Reading Dear Chief of Police, Camille, Ben and Peter, It's the holidays so hope you are open to me.saving a little time with a shared letter of commendation for my recent experience participating in the Reading Police Department's Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) System program. this December. Several years ago when researclvng safety training programs for the attorneys at a large Boston firm where I was then working, I discovered one of the mostly highly recommended was the Reading RAD . program. I have been trying to participate ever since, and was delighted when the program was again offered this month after being unavailable for several years. From the initial contact with Sergeant David Clark to register for the program through the 16-hour training, including the simulated attacks, I found the entire training team (Sergeant Clark, and Officers lapicca, Abate, Halloran, Lavita and Nelson, with assistance from Officers Agnone and Stasiak-) to be highly professional and clearly committed to the mission of equipping us to be confident and effective in defending ourselves. I was especially impressed with how much information and conditioning we received in only four sessions. I think this is a terrific program and am pleased it now includes options for Reading youth and senior female students at Reading High. Please use this feedback as fuel for promoting the depth of services Reading offers its residents and the need to maintain this valuable program. Thanks and happy holidays, Blaine Elaine OhIson RAD System Graduate 92 Van Norden Road Reading, MA 01867 ' � �07 DEC y� 8M �� �� _—. --- .. ~^ ~" �^ ' Jill M.Reddish Fmn�i�O���owmn�or ���� Vorizon Video ve,izon Communications Inc. 125 High Street Boston, MA 02110 017-342-0558 Ji|im.eddish@vehzon.nnm December 14, 2007 Reading Board ofSelectmen Town of Reading 16 Lowell Street Reading, MA 01867 Dear Board ofSelectmen: Verizon is committed to providing our ROS TV customers with the broadest variety of programming choices available, 1OO96 digital picture quality and customer service.

In that spirit, I wanted to notify you of some important pricing changes that will go into effect for certain Comcast services beginning in February, 2008. I also wanted to share with you many of the improvements, enhancements and value -added features we have made available to our customers throughout 2007. Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the price adjustment notice that will be sent to customers over the next several weeks. Prices: Comcast makes every attempt to minimize costs and increase choice for our customers. Price changes reflect the increased value of our service, new product enhancements and a capital investment in Massachusetts of approximately $300 million during 2007 to enhance the quality and reliability of our network, deliver advanced products and services and equip our customer care personnel with advanced technology to ensure a superior customer experience. Investment in Innovation: Over the past year, Comcast has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in our Massachusetts network, allowing us to offer more choice and control in our programming, products and services. This year, we have expanded our high - definition (HD) television lineup significantly to meet customer demand. We offer considerably more HD programming than any other provider — 200 HD choices at any given time and growing — and the sharpest HD picture in the industry. We also have added thousands of programs to our ON DEMAND library, which today consists of nearly 10,000 programs every month, including hit movies, children's programming, sports highlights, documentaries and many more cable favorites that are available anytime. As you may know, the-vast majority of our ON DEMAND programs are available to Comcast Digital Cable customers for no additional charge. This year, we also continued the expansion of Comcast Digital Voice, our award- winning residential phone service, and added new features like the ability to check voice mail online through the Digital Voice Center. In addition, we increased the upstream speeds of our high -speed Internet product by introducing PowerBoost, a Comcast- developed technology that provides extra bursts of speed. PowerBoost makes it faster to upload and download movies, music and games. • Customer Service Excellence: First -rate customer service is our highest priority. To ensure a superior customer experience, we've hired approximately 400 additional local call center and field service representatives in Massachusetts and invested in new customer care technologies. We also opened two new call centers in Massachusetts this year, bringing the number of Bay State call centers to five and New England call centers to nine. Comcast now has more than 4,200 employees in Reading, MA Page 2 Massachusetts serving our local customers. Because we have made these investments in expanding our local team, the vast majority of our customers continue to be highly satisfied with their Comcast service. Value into the Home: Comcast continues to offer customers unprecedented choice and value, including the convenience of two - and three- product bundles. Cable television continues to be an excellent value for our customers. Unlike our competitors, Comcast offers a variety of packages to meet the needs of all of our customers in every community we serve. We offer a range of services from a basic 20- channel package to the most advanced home entertainment experience available, with hundreds of channels and thousands of ON DEMAND choices. Moreover, the competitive value the cable industry offers to voice customers is providing consumer savings in Massachusetts of nearly $300 million in 2007 alone, according to a November 2007 report conducted by Microeconomic Consulting and Research Associates, Inc. ® Community Investment: Comcast is proud to be a vibrant and dedicated partner in the cities and towns we serve. To that end, we continue to support Massachusetts schools and libraries by offering free cable and /or high -speed Internet connections. To date, we have provided these services to more than 3,400 schools and libraries throughout Massachusetts, representing more than $2.7 million annually. In addition, we work with many local charitable and nonprofit organizations, contributing in excess of $1 million annually throughout the Commonwealth. This year alone, Comcast has worked with more than 300 organizations in New England, helping to provide the financial, in -kind and employee resources necessary to help our local communities thrive. We provide a significant contribution to the tax bases of Massachusetts cities and towns and to the Commonwealth, exceeding a total of $119 million annually. More than 4,200 of our employees live and work in Massachusetts and are proud to be a part of a company that not only provides quality service and products, but maintains a genuine partnership with the communities in which we do business. Comcast is committed to offering the best value in home entertainment with a wide variety of programming and packages to offer our customers unparalleled choice and control. Furthermore, we continue to invest in new technology to improve the programming and services we offer, including digital cable, high - definition television, high -speed Internet service and Comcast Digital Voice.

Phone: 781.942.6612 Reading, MA 01867-2683 Fax: 781.942-9071 ckowalski@ci.reading.ma.us William Thompson Jr. 210 Holt Rd. North Andover, MA 01945 Dear Mr. Thompson: On October 22, 2007, 1 received reports that all the trees were removed from your property over the weekend of October 20. 1 spoke with the contractor who had been performing work at the abutting property (16 Sanborn Street), who said that you had asked him to remove the trees from your lo . t. On Monday October 22 1, observed grading of your lot. I sent a letter by return -receipt mail to you October 22, 2007 informing you that expanding the lot requires Site Plan Review. I also spoke with you by phone on Tuesday October 23 and informed you that expanding the lot requires Site Plan Review. You replied that you were not expanding the lot. On Wednesday, October 24, you paved the lot to the lot line, expanding the travel way of your parking lot. On Friday October 26, 2007 Glen Redmond informed me that, since 36 Woburn Street includes a commercial parking lot in a residential district, expanding that nonconforming use also requires a Special Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Redmond sent an enforcement letter to you noting that a Special Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals and Site Plan Review from the Community Planning & Development Commission are both required. I note that since you had attended the hearings for Reading Cooperative. Bank's Site Plan Review as ail abutter to 16 Sanborn Street, you were aware in advance that Site Plan Review is required for alterations to your property. Mr. Redmond and I met with you, at your request, on Nov. 7, 2007 at 36 Woburn Street to explain further and to answer questions, and to assist with the applications for the Special Permit and Site Plan Review in order to bring the property into compliance. We explained again that an application for a Special Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals should be submitted first, then an application for Site Plan Review. Mt. Redmond had brought with him. an application for an abutters list which you completed, signed and which was filed. You did later pick up the abutters list, but when you neglected to submit an application for a Special Permit, Mr. Redmond issued a second notice of Zoning Violation on November 26, 2007, including a $200 fine. On December 7, 2007 Ir.eceived a telephone message from you asking again which application to file first. I replied that day with a telephone message reiterating that an application for the Special Permit from the Board of Appeals should be filed first. -On December 20, 1 received notice from Woburn District Court that you are contesting the $200 fine, yet to date you have never applied for the proper permits or review for expanding or altering a nonconforming use (an office parking lot in a residential district). Please be aware that Mr. Redmond and the Town of Reading will continue to enforce the Reading Zoning Bylaws to the fullest extent to bring the property into compliance. This may include the filing of a criminal complaint. Si , erely 'y a rol ro o7alsId Co unity o Services Director/Town Planner Cc: E. Doucette, Town Counsel P. Hechenbleikner, Town Manager G.

READING, MA-National Development has closed on a 26-acre commercial parcel hero, but managing partner Theodore Tye says the Newton-based real estate firm is still not exactly sure what will be built otthe so-called Addison Wesley property overlooking Route 128. After receiving needed zoning changes from the town earlier this month, National is mulling two options, Tye. tells G|obeSt.com, one of which would focus on the office market, whereas the second plan would provide e mix of office and residential uses. "We're going to let the market decide," Tye relays, although he says the initial push will be to develop the property as office space. Plan Av as Tye refers to that concept, would yield about 400,000 sf in four or five buildings. "Ithink its one of the best suburban campus sites in the marketplace," Tye says in explaining that preference. National has retained Grubb 8k Ellis to seek potential tenants, with brokers Phil Giunta and George Nugent heading up that assignment. Giunba and Nugent also negotiated the $18.9-miU|on sale of the property to National from Pearson Education, which acquired the campus in 1Q9g after buying the occupant, Addison Wesley Publishing, and subsequently relocating those employees. Access and visibility to Route 128 are among the reasons Tye offers in predicting at office users would be drawn to the opportunity. Not only does the entrance adjoin Exit 38, the property at Jacob Way and Main Street is also just one exit north of the critical juncture of Interstate 93. The parcel is 12 miles from Downtown Boston. G&E will hit the. pavement hard in early 2008 to drum up a response, and National will then make a determination on what direction to head, Tye says. The company is still seeking some permit approvals, but National hopes to be in the ground by year's end with one plan ortheother. National's alternate concept, Plan B, would include about 175/000 sf of office space and several residential concepts, including apartments, senior housing andtownhomas. Zoning changes won at town meeting allows u| toZ03 apartments. Tye says feedback from the community indicates that either concept would be acceptable, noting that the zoning changes were voted in overwhelmingly. The response was certainly more congenial than that for a previous bid to develop a lifestyle center retail complex at the property, an effort rejected largely on concerns regarding traffic impact. One of National's partners in the project is Jeremy Sdar, whose VV/S Development Associates had pursued the lifestyle center plan. Another partner is Pyramid Advisors, a Boston firm focused on hotel development. That does not necessarily mean a hotel would be included in the plans, although the parcel is now zoned for hospitality and Tye says Plan Aoou|d accommodate that use, ~ Copyright 0 2008 ALM Properties, Inc.
