LED bulbs use 80-90% less energy than commotion niiui-ligbtxz2" bulb spacing, 25' long.
These technologically advanced light emitting diode (LED) holiday lights use 80-90%
less energy than conventional mini-lights and will burn for 2O+ years orcontinuous
use. They are the safest holiday lights on the market - constructed of solid flameproof
epoxy plastic and are virtually indestructible. Additionally, they operate much cooler
than conventional lights - about I degree above room temperature, making them
safer ho use either indoors or out. Asan example mf their energy-efficiency, up to
150 (one hundred fifty) strings can be connected end tm end. If one bulb
becomes inoperable the other bulbs will continue to light. These light sets are
guaranteed by the manufacturer for life.
These lights are built with patented circuitry maximize efficiency. This revolutionary
design concept eliminates the use of traditional components that add to cost and
generate heat. In essence the circuitry allows the LEDs to flash on and off with AC
power. Like a television set, the flashing occurs sixty times per second and in invisible
to the eye. By flashing the LEDs on and off this way, the circuit can be made at least
twice as efficient as|s possible with traditional LED circuitry. Therefore, the lifetime of
these bulbs is rated at 200,000 hours or more than 20 years of continuous use and much longer if just used seasonally.
More LED Info
IMPORTANT: Each LED bulb is manufactured individually, so some variance in color is to be expected. If you have questions, contact us
before you order, so you're sure to get what you're expecting.

From: Chief James W. Cormier, Chief of Police
This is an executive summary to answer the many inquiries the Police Department has
been receiving regarding the impact the Walkers Brook Dr. development has had on
public safety. For the purposes of this summary, service activity is defined as actions
which require responses from either the Police Department or the Dispatch Center located
within the Police Department.
The statistics contained in this report show calls for service, which are the individual
call or proactive initiative. They also show activities, which indicate total actions taken.
For example at one car accident, 1 call for service, there could be an arrest made, a tow
truck called, an ambulance response, a DPW call man notification which would
ultimately equal 5 activities which all require responses and time by police officers
and/or public safety dispatchers.
It is important to note that all of these are not necessarily crimes; they include a number
of activities performed by the Police Department, such as assigned traffic enforcement,
investigating suspicious persons, false alarms, medical calls etc.

Subject: Addison Wesley Working Group recommendations and next steps
Dear Ben:
You are faced with an important decision for the Town of Reading. I am confident that you and the
members of the Board of Selectmen (BOS) will find the best solution considering all of the issues at
hand. To that end, I would like to offer my perspective of the key items needing close inspection. Let
me first disclose that I am writing this letter as a resident, first and foremost, although I do sit on the
CPDC as its chairperson. I was not an official member of the working group, but I did sit in on all but
one meeting, and provided support to the group as requested (in my capacity as CPDC chair). I do not
support any one view over another other than making the right choice for Reading.
(1) Trust: The biggest question of all is do we trust W/S developers enough to continue this process.
While this' effort has been lengthy, it is only the beginning of 'a long process that includes zoning
changes, site plan review, building permits, demolition and construction, and ultimately
occupancy and on -going support. The various boards and commissions, town staff and members
of the community need to be assured that W/S will be a good partner in those efforts. Evidence

to date leaves me curious about their modes of operation, including submission of zoning changes
without the support of the town, employing heavy marketing tactics and even a phone survey,
hiring essentially all the local planning attorney's in town, etc. I am not saying that W/S is not
trustworthy, I am just suggesting that the BOS consider this issue, especially given the Town's
history of dealing with developers. What are the characteristics of those developers that result in
the most effective and beneficial developments AND follow - through on their commitments and
are easy to work with?
(2) Use & Size: I am not telling you anything you don't already know, but the facts are clear. The
town had outlined its vision in the most recent version of the Master Plan. Without a doubt, the
highest priority items in that plan all relate to character and identity. Although these may be
amorphous concepts, they do have a common theme of small town feel, focused downtown,
neighborhood connections, etc. Retail /commercial uses are intended to be relegated to the
"outskirts ". While the Addison Wesley site certainly sits on the edge of town, the question is
will it negatively affect the fabric of the town? Interestingly enough, the owners of the Tambone
property came before CPDC a few weeks ago presenting their plan for a conversion of their
property to a solely retail operation. The effects of large scale retail creep down south Main
street are already apparent!
(3) Traffic:. We have talked a lot about traffic, and heard from the developer, peer review, and even
local traffic experts about how this site will or will not work. In my mind, as someone who has
to deal with Rte 129 traffic every day (when I leave my street I have no choice by to go right or
left onto 129 in the AM, most days traffic is stalled in both directions!), the real issue isn't in the
impact, because the site only offers one real entrance and exit, but in solutions. We have yet to
make any connections (save one discussion at a 129/93 interchange meeting) regarding a serious
understanding of how potential reconfigurations of the Rte 128/28 interchange may provide
additional opportunities for additional traffic /access mitigation. Nor have we held any recent
meetings with the neighborhood to discuss cut through traffic, the impact of Archstone, or
potential neighborhood/community mitigations to address systemic traffic issues.
The divisive nature of this issue has hurt the community, but you now have an opportunity to make the
best decision possible and bring this chapter to a close. I stand ready to support our future endeavors on
this project (however it may come to pass) and participate actively in planning for the future. If we are
successful in our proactive planning efforts, we may enjoy the ability to avoid (or at least mitigate
solutions) to these type of highly charged development issues.
Respectfully submitted,

Streetscape Improvements
Main Street in the southern part of Reading has been characterized by a varied commercial mix,
lack of investment, business turnover, and has
aesthetics. South Main Street is a major
element of the commercial corridor in Reading and a gateway to the downtown and central core
of the community. It represents an opportunity for future economic development.
Goal 3 Improve South Main Street Streetscape.
Objectives:
A. Examine properties with regard to re- zoning with particular attention to reducing the -
current front setback requirements and expanding the use of PUD (B) overlay districts.
B.. The Town will pursue all possible state and Federal grants to hire consultants (landscape
architects and traffic engineers) to generate a detailed streetscape beautification plan for
the area from Washington Street south to I95/128 similar to the plan recently completed
for the downtown.
C. Present the plan to the public, and encourage the businesses and residents of the South
Main Street area to make fagade and parking lot improvements consistent with the plan.
D. Obtain state and Federal funding to implement the plan.
Neighborhood Scale
There is interest in encouraging small commercial nodes in neighborhoods. Such nodes should,
however, be considered so as to not disrupt the neighborhoods or detract from the central
downtown vitality. Some improvement in the appearance of South Main Street Commercial
areas has happened recently as a result of some attention by the Board of Selectmen but the
whole area needs a cohesive beautification plan,
Goal 4 Recognize small commercial nodes in neighborhoods.
Objectives:
A. The CPDC to identify and recommend zoning changes to recognize existing non-
conforming commercial nodes.

Commercial Development
The commercial / industrial development potential is in a state of flux at present due to a planned
MassFEghway reconfiguration of the I95493 cloverleaf intersection. The detailed plans are not
yet film and face an extensive public review and hearing process. When the ramifications of the
new intersection are known, the zoning along I95/128 should be reviewed to maximize the
development potential.
Goal 5 Explore Zoning Changes to enhance Development along I95/128.
Objectives:
A. During the new I95/I93 intersection design, hearing, and approval process, the CPDC
and, if formed in time, the Economic Development Commission should give input and
make suggestions to maximize the development potential.
B. After the intersection is finalized, the CPDC should review and change the zoning as
necessary to maximize the development potential to the Town.

Potential Locations for Economic Development.

Downtown retail core ( #1 on map)
• Would like it to extend (flow) all the way to Washington Street
• Want businesses that attract pedestrians. Have stores up to the sidewalk line.
• Maybe it should extend all the way south to Summer Street — this may not be
realistic.
• Parking garage has been mentioned for lot behind the CVS.
o Could extend downtown to area around the depot — integrate lower Haven Street with
Main Street. Needs better pedestrian access to make attractive for walking. Perhaps
more parking behind Atlantic Market and make Haven a pedestrian way?
• Current zoning precludes.
• Gould Street has nice houses and a couple of businesses. Could be made attractive
with streetscape improvements.
South Main Street ( #2 on map)
• Parking in front of stores looks bad. Need greenery in front. Blend parking or put it
behind buildings — probably need to change the zoning.
• Preserve and enhance residential mixed in. Keep density about as it is. There are
some existing apartment buildings. Mixed use in same building may work also.
• Needs visual "edges" — e.g. greenery in front instead of cement from street to
building.
o Utilities need to be buried.
o Traffic volume and street design are inhospitable to pedestrians — there is no place to
cross Main Street. There is not enough right -of -way to install median with turn lane.
o Car- dependent businesses there. Need traffic calming, maybe a light.
South of South Street (along 128) ( #3 on map)
• Long -term potential to redevelop large areas along 128 from 28 to I -93 interchange.
• Depending on the outcome of the I -93/95 studies, this area may become less desirable
for residential use and may have more potential for economic development
• Need to take care not to put all eggs in one basket, though, because area is so large,
Town's fortunes would rise and fall in tandem if any single business /industry took it
all over.
• Would want to integrate it with the rest of the Town.
• Also, in the long -term it would be useful to discuss with Woburn the landlocked area
west of 93 and north of 128. Investigate some kind of swap with Woburn land farther
north on 93 on the east side that can only be accessed through Reading.
■ Walkers Brook Crossing (old landfill) - The retail portion in the back is going ahead
(Jordan's, Home Depot). The portion along the street is a mixed retail development. ( #4 on
map)

■ General Way (former Frugal Fannie's) — Approved for mixed retail and a grocery store.
Implementation TBA. (#5 on map)
■ DPW area — More intense development of some type. (#5 on map)
■ Strip mall (REI, Dunkin Donuts) — Good highway access. Self-help organization recently
vacated? (#7 on map)
■ Home Goods strip mall — Should have a plan for this area in case Home Goods leaves. Is a
major auto-oriented node for the north of Town. Should have convenience store/local
services. Suggested in previous workshop to link this area to High/Middle school area with
walking path. (#8 on map)

Rezone along South Main Street Corridor
• CPDC consider re- zoning along the South Main Street corridor as a means to improve
the appearance with particular attention to setback requirements, visual buffering of
parking areas, and expanded used of the PUD (B) overlay district. (Town Meeting,
November, 2006)
2. Obtain funding for streetscape improvements.
• Town Planner, supported by the Board of Selectmen, will pursue all possible State
and Federal grants to hire consultants (landscape architects and traffic engineers) to
generate detailed streetscape beautification plans for the area from Washington St.
south to I95/128.
• After completion of the initial plans, the Town Planner, supported by the Board of
Selectmen, will pursue State and Federal funds to implement the plans (September,
2007)
Natural, Historic and Cultural Resources Action Strategies
Objective 1 A: Promote the preservation and enhancement of Reading's extent of existing
upland and wooded areas and the extent of public accessibility to these areas, particularly
in new developments through appropriate amendments to the Zoning By -Laws and
Subdivision Regulations and other measures such as impact fees.
1. Review Bylaws /Subdivisions Regulations to Enhance Preservation.
• CPDC and Town Planner review the existing zoning bylaws and subdivision
regulations to improve the preservation and enhancement of Reading's natural
resources. (November, 2007)
2. Explore Impact Fees to Fund Preservation
• CPDC explores impact fees as a means of funding the preservation and enhancement
of Reading's natural resources. (May, 2007)
Objective 2 B: Encourage the development of a regional resource protection plan
(Aberjona, Saugus, and Ipswich River water - sheds, Cedar Swamp), and of regional efforts
to reduce pollution of water, groundwater, and the air.

Hello all
I was provided with the growing list of residences who are in favor of the project by precinct (roughly
760) and was asked to share it with everyone. I did consolidate it so there is more on 1 page so hope
that helps.

From: RICHARD MCDONALD [remejm @verizon.net]

To: Reading - Selectmen
Subject: Park Square
It is time to step up and take care of the tax payers of Reading. Every month that passes and the Addison -
Wesley property remains undeveloped, the town loses approximately $75K in real estate taxes. Don't let this
property turn into another landfill situation. Do you remember when the landfill was under agreement and the
developer backed out? It took 10 more years before another developer could be found and that cost the town
many thousands in potential tax revenues and almost cost the town $3 to 4M to cap the dump. I have heard for
years that Reading wants to be compared to Winchester, Andover and Lexington. Our schools can compete but
retail certainly can't. Take a look at South Main Street; Video Place, Tux shop, Art supplies store, Getty gas
station, and Java's Brewin' are all vacant. Light & Leisure is closing and Finagle -a -Bagel is now the eighth bank
in town. Reading is mainly banks, drug stores, real estate offices, fast food restaurants, and pizza /sub shops. Do
we really want another high- density housing development in our town? Opponents of the project argue that the
possibility of more high - density housing is simply "scare tactics." However, high- density housing could move into
the property without any of the rezoning obligations currently facing this developer. The time has come for a real
shot in the arm and this is a great opportunity for change. Please support this project.
Thank you,
Dick McDonald

Subject: from near the mall in Canton, CT
Dear Friends in Reading,
I live 2/10 of a mile from the W/S Development in Canton, CT, a small town,
where we have a huge new mall just like the one being proposed in your town.
The traffic is bad, our taxes are still going way up and we now have shops that
we don't need - identical to stores less than two miles away. I urge you to
explore smart uses for the Addison-Wesley property that will truly benefit the
town. Don't rely on the developer for truthful information.
Sincerely,
Heather James

changes. The best zoning by -law amendments are developed through a Working
Group, the CPDC, and developer working together to craft new and appropriate zoning
language. This can happen if Article 26 is TABLED.

READING C.A.R.E. RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS
TOWN MEETING MEMBERS TO
TABLE ARTICLE 26 / ZONING BY -LAWS
The petitioner /developer formally requested that this article BE TABLED at the CPDC
Public Hearing held to discuss this zoning by -law amendment on March 27, 2006.
The CPDC, as part of its Report to 2006 Annual Town Meeting on Article 26, voted
3 -0 -1 "to not recommend to Town Meeting adoption of the zoning by -law textual
amendments" and "recommends tabling Article 26 at Town Meeting." CPDC has not
requested that this be referred back to them.
The Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to "not recommend" adoption of this by-
law and also "recommends tabling" Article 26 at Town Meeting.
BY TABLING THIS ARTICLE, TOWN MEETING IS NOT DENYING THE
PETITIONER ANY RIGHTS
The Working Group can continue its work to build consensus and develop a plan both
appropriate for the town and profitable for the developer.
The petitioner can work with the CPDC to craft new zoning by -law amendments once a
plan is developed.
The petitioner can submit new zoning by -law amendments to be placed on the Warrant
for the 2006 Subsequent Town Meeting or a Special Town Meeting.
TABLING THIS ARTICLE ENDS DEBATE ON A ZONING CHANGE REQUEST
THAT ALL PARTIES HAVE DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE.
IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO
A "motion to refer to the matter of Article 26 to the CPDC" is not appropriate in this
case, as more than minor changes need to be made to the currently proposed zoning
changes. The best zoning by -law amendments are developed through a Working
Group, the CPDC, and developer working together to craft new and appropriate zoning
language. This can happen if Article 26 is TABLED.
