Construction proiects in progress or to be done this year (between now and
June 30, 2010):
♦ Done - School Street Lincoln street Sandra Lane South Street - Main to Hopkins Scotland Road; Landscape
Contractor has installed loam and hydro seeded all areas.
♦ Paving in progress - Bear Hill Road, North Street, Pinevale Avenue and Juniper Circle; Binder has
been installed Contractor is in progress of raising structures to accept final wearing course.
♦ Micro-chip seal - mid to late spring Hopkins Street (Main.to Wakefield Town Line); and 2 to 3
other streets;
o Skim coating of local streets Lewis Street
♦ Memorial Park Basketball and tennis courts sub-base installed and graded. The Pine tree, to be removed,
at the tennis court cannot be removed until August as red tail hawks are nesting. (A migratory bird protected
under a federal program) This will delay the completion of the tennis courts. Skating ponds have been shaped,
sub-drains and stone sub-base have been installed. The liner is expected to be installed in approximately 3
weeks. In process of installing additional site drainage. Will start. removing loam for pathways and installing
electrical conduit.
♦ Fishing Pier - Lobs Pound Mill - The contractor for the fishing platform has installed the
additional parking spaces and has poured the concrete pad for the bench near the river. He has not been on site
for several weeks - probably waiting for the meadow near the river to get dry enough to install the walkway and
platform and guardrail. He started just after the March floods, when the meadow was under water
♦ Trail construction - Bare MeadOW Trail Comm. installed the first section of the boardwalk in April
and liked the concrete piers. We ordered enough for the rest of the boardwalk and a short section near Haverhill
Street that is also wet. The route was staked out last weekend, and there will be additional work days on May 8
and 15 - hopefully ending with completion of the boardwalks. Other trail-hardening was done last fall with
application of stone aggregate in soft areas. We, also need to install sign boards, blazes, and directional
information, and plant the meadow where it is eroding - to be done in June. Grant period ends June 30, and we
hope to meet that deadline.
♦ Memorial Park Basketball and tennis courts demolished. Work underway for new tennis court. One drain
line installed from Harrison Street to manhole between the two ponds.so ponds can be reconfigured - old drain
line is in the way and will be removed. Topsoil has been stripped from the lawn above the ponds where they are
to be expanded. Topsoil is being stripped from the floors of the ponds and stockpiled separately. The north pond
has been wet for the last few days, which may be limited progress there. I have not seen the south pond since it
was stripped, so do not know whether water is present there also.
♦ Washington Park playground -Since the last update the Friends of Washington Park have had two
successful fundraisers - one at Christopher's Restaurant which made $900 and another at Fuddruckers which
raised approximately $300. The playground has been ordered and the target installation range is June 15th -
30th. The construction of Washington Park playground will take approximately 3 days and will be located as
advised in the WP Master Plan. The brick campaign continues. Thus far we have sold approximately 40 bricks.
The goal is to sell 100. We will continue the initial brick campaign until late summer and then establish a patio
and walkway using the bricks to lead to the playground. Proceeds of the brick campaign will allow for purchase of
picnic tables and benches and other amenities.
Killam School playground -The- Killam Playground has been advertised and we are in the midst.of
getting playground proposals from capable companies. The PTO has virtually accomplished its goal of raising
.$15K (about $1 K short). The Killam PTO will assist in selecting a final playground structure and it will be located
based on the Killam master plan. I hope to be able to award a contract in June and have the playground installed
around the beginning of August. This installation may be done as a supervised community build so the install
date will not be clear until the contract is awarded.
♦ Master Plan for Joshua Eaton Playground Completion Late May. Board of Selectmen
hearing June 22
♦ Barrows site master plan Process will begin in the summer after recreation staff have completed the
JEMP, and gotten summer activities started.
Dates and Events:
® Friends and Family Day (AKA Town Day), June 19

Subject: RE: Surveyors
Hello Peter and Lynda,
Yes, the surveyors are out there as part of the preliminary environmental impact work - they are doing field
checks of ground control points for detailed base mapping that is being developed (new aerial photos have been
taken). Other survey efforts include wetlands delineation (although I don't believe that is occurring adjacent to
143 South Street).
These are part of "early action" items that MassDOT is undertaking before a contract is finalized with our
consultant to perform the majority of the environmental impact and highway design work. The first formal step in
this process will be a "scoping session," which will be publicized with an official announcement
on www.9395info.com (plus via e-mail), but due to procurement procedures and debriefing of the other consultant
teams, hone of this will occur until our chosen consultant actually has a signed contract with the State. Members
of the Planning Study's Task Force will receive invitations to remain involved throughout the environmental
process.
All information related to the completed planning study, environmental notification form, and MEPA certificate is
still available at www.9395info.com., I will continue. to inform everyone of further significant news or milestones
once available.
Lynda - If you like, I can place you on the e-mail distribution list for further updates. Nearly three years ago, I
remember speaking with your husband about his similar concerns. Simply put, there haven't been any significant
developments or progress on this proposed project in the last couple years due to funding and other constraints. If
there had been, you would have heard about it from us. Also, if a surveyor needs to access anyone's property
directly, the property owner should receive a written letter or notice to that effect (this does not apply to adjacent
properties).
There is still a VERY LONG time frame for this project (at least seven more years until the start of construction),
and still many more opportunities upcoming for public comment, potential design changes or adjustments, right-
of-way negotiations with property owners, etc. Please feel free to contact me any time if you have additional
questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Bob

0 Couple of other home offices/Woburn Street
Work Plan for Sign Compliance - as of 5118/10
a. Background - Approximately 16 years ago the zoning by-law was
amended to insure that all signs come into compliance by July 1,.2010.
There have been efforts by past Town Planners to advise the business
community of this regulation including several public meetings held in
advance of Town Meeting in 2003.
b. Zoning By-Law Reference - Section 6.2.2.3
6.2.2.3. Nonconforming Signs:
All nonconforming signs shall be removed or shall be altered so as to conform with the following
provisions, whichever occurs sooner:
a. When the nature of the business changes and the sign is changed or modified in shape, size,
or legend; or
b. When the name of the business changes and the sign is changed or modified in shape, size, or
legend; or
c. July 1, 1994 for any temporary sign or nonconforming temporary or permanent window sign; or
d. July 1, 2000 for any internally illuminated sign which does not have an opaque background, or
e. July 1, 2000 for any sign which is in excess of the number of'signs allowed per business or per
lot; or
f. July 1, 2005 for any nonconforming permanent sign which had an original installed cost of
$10, 000 or less; or
g. July 1, 2010 for any nonconforming permanent sign which had an original installed cost of
more than $10,000.
A nonconforming sign may not be enlarged or altered in any way which would increase its
nonconformity. Should any nonconforming sign be damaged by any means to an extent of more
than fifty percent of its replacement cost at the time of damage, it shall not be reconstructed
except in conformity with the provisions of this Section.
c. Steps to Compliance/Timeline - Message we hope to convey is that we
want to work with businesses to help them come into compliance. We are
working with businesses on their plans on a case by. case basis. Two staff
people are devoted to managing a database of compliance. No forum is
planned at this time as we are providing individualized follow up.
• 1/29/10 - Initial letter from P. Hechenbleikner to Community
Services database of businesses and forwarded to Chamber of
Commerce for distribution.
• Inventory of Violations - ongoing, to be completed by June 1, 2010
• Violation Letters from Building Inspector citing sign violations - 20
letters have been sent out to date; several more are ready to be
sent out.
• Abby and. Mike are working with business owners to come into
compliance. Window Signs are the biggest culprit, businesses are
working towards compliance.
• Concerns have been expressed by businesses occupying single
tenanted buildings in Business A and need to come into compliance
by, removing either a wall or freestanding sign.
d
EDC proposed, as part of zoning changes for annual town meeting,
allowing single tenanted buildings to have a freestanding and wall
sign. CPDC did not recommend this change. Planning staff have
brought back to the CPDC the idea of revisiting the proposed
change to allow freestanding and wall signs in Business A through
the design guidelines for that corridor. If CPDC is amenable to
taking this up again, we can notify violators . that this may be
changed so they will have additional time.
Other - businesses have been informed that they can seek zoning
relief from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Changes to the Sign By-
Law are another option for businesses to consider. Several public
forums and public hearings were held over the winter as part of the
recommendations by. the Planning Commission to Town Meeting
for the changes to the Sign By-Law.
d. Zoning Enforcement - In the violation letters we ask business owners
to contact our office so that we can work with them to achieve zoning
compliance. First letter is sent by certified mail to insure that. parties have
received notification. Normally we sent subsequent letters with fines. In
this case to be sensitive to the needs of the businesses as long,as they
contact us,'and a plan can be worked out for compliance, we will not issue
fines. We will be flexible as much as possible concerning timeline.

Commentary
The recording device was deployed for two weeks, but only captured data for one
and one half days. This may have been caused. by a faulty battery, downloading
glitch or operator error. The study will be redone prior to the end of school.
The data that was collected shows that the majority of traffic on Temple Street
occurs during drop-off and pick-up times for the Parker Middle School. Also, with
most drivers travelling at or around 19 MPH, speed does not seem to be as in-Lich a
problem as perceived. However, definitive conclusions regarding speed and volume
must be reserved until the study is redone.

Subject: Solid Waste Collection/ Recycling/ Disposal Contract Negotiation Status- S/M Meeting 5/25/10
Peter:
Here is the latest update relative to the above contracts:
Disposal:
Reading, Wakefield, and Stoneham have been negotiating with our current vendor, Covanta Haverhill Inc.
regarding a contract extension through 6/30/2015.
The current excellent rate of $60.19/ ton would be held for fy11, and.then adjusted annually by a CPI differential
from one year to the next for the life of the contract.
Our contract consultant has also been involved in the review process, and recommends the extension, as our rate
is the lowest in the entire area and recently bid rates are running higher.
I am waiting for a formal proposal, and once received, I would recommend review by Town counsel, prior to final
acceptance.
I believe both Wakefield and Stoneham are in the same timeframe, and may potentially execute their agreements
within the next week.
Collection/ Recycling:
As you are aware, JRM, our current vendor, has submitted a 5 year extension request for our consideration, and
based on our review (along with our contract consultant), looks very good for the Town.
However, prior to formal consideration, I felt it was in the best interest of the Town to go out and solicit other
quotes.
Along those lines, I have met with both Hiltz Disposal, and Waste Management, and am now waiting for formal
contract quotes based on the exact specifications quoted by JRM for a new 5 year contract starting 7/1/1.1.
I also specifically requested input, for discussion, on any/ all potential options including automated collection, one
day collection, single stream recycling, etc.
I set June 1 as a timeline to receive proposals.
5/24/2010

Once received, I will set up a meeting with all appropriate participants to review.
