Sullivan Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs 100 Cambridge Street, Suite 900 Boston, MA 02114 . ATTN: Ms. Holly S. Johnson, MEPA Unit Re: Environmental Notification Form, EEA # 14688 Reading Woods, Jacob Way, Reading MA Pulte Homes of New England, LLC, ProponentApplicant Dear Secretary Sullivan: Please accept the following comments from the Town of Reading for the above referenced project. General The project consists of the construction of 424 for-sale residential units in a mix of townhomes and garden style homes. The project will include 16 townhomes and 408 apartments, of which" 208 will be designated as senior independent living units and a minimum of 40 will be designated as affordable units in compliance with the Commonwealth's 40R Smart Growth Zoning. The existing site currently holds approximately 208,000 sf of vacant office buildings formerly occupied by the Addison Wesley Publishing Company along with 11.3 acres of impervious area (buildings, parking, and driveways) on the 24.8-acre site. The project will reduce on-site impervious area by 0.4 acres, increase traffic trips by 2,260 vehicles trips per day, add an additional 226 parking spaces for a site total of 895 (440 of which will be below grade), generate 70,360 gallons per day of wastewater and consume 77,400 gallons per day of water. The project will require an Order of Conditions from the Reading Conservation Commission, an Access Permit from MassDOT, and a MassDEP Sewer Connection Permit. An application has been filed for Site Plan Review under the Reading Zoning By-Law Section 4.3.3 and a public hearing will be opened on Monday, January- 24, 2011 by the Reading Community Planning and Development Commission (CPDC) which acts as the local Planning Board. ~2 Planning There have been several in-house meetings and reviews of the proposal by Pulte Homes. This has included preliminary meetings with the Town Planner and Town Manager, two (2) Development Review Team meetings with all appropriate staff, and staff has participated in the 1/19/11 consultation session held at Town Hall. A peer review is anticipated of the traffic report and lighting plans and we will reserve comment until the peer review is provided. As was stated at the consultation session the Town is generally supportive of the efforts made to provide pedestrian access, bicycle racks, and some type of transportation link through a shuttle or other means as this is consistent with our Master Plan for South Main Street. One comment we would add concerns the Affordable Housing provision. Under this proposal, because of the 40R, 40 units of affordable housing are provided. The total number of units being proposed is 424. We would like to see the number of affordable units increased to 43 so that the development will provide 10% of the total units as affordable housing. This will assist the Town with efforts to create affordable housing; a major planning goal as stated in the Master Plan and Housing Production Plan. A Development Agreement that was part of the previous proposal to develop the site will need to be modified to conform to the requirements of this project. The area most in need of attention concerns the I and I removal. The cost to tie into the existing Sturgis Pump Station needs to be verified; $50,000 that was estimated previously may not be sufficient to cover the costs of tying in. The roadway connection from Main Street to South Street and Jacob Way may need further refinement. This will likely be addressed by the Peer Review to verify that the roadway design is adequate. Engineering Storm water= The preliminary storm water report appears to adequately mitigate the affects of re- developing the site and provides sufficient detention, infiltration and TSS removal to meet DEP's storm water requirements. Traffic - The Town has hired a consultant tot perform a peer review of the traffic analysis provided. While the Town will provide a detailed. report in the near future of primary concern is the re-alignment of South Street and Jacob Way and the degradation of two intersections on Main Street. The proposed South Street and Jacob Way re-design maintains the pre-development through alignment of South Street which may result in insufficient queue lengths for vehicles desiring to enter. Jacob Way. This could conflict with the operation of the South and Main Street intersection. The level of service is indicated to be degraded under the 2015 Build condition for the South Street at Main Street and Hopkins Street at Main Street intersections. This is especially evident at the Hopkins Street intersection where LOS is projected to reduce to F for two movements. As the intersection is presently identified as a high accident intersection additional review is needed to determine what measures can be achieved to reduce the adverse effects of the development on this intersection. Sewer- The applicant has indicated that the receiving sewer system has sufficient capacity to accommodate the flows resulting form the project. While this is generally true for the gravity network the receiving Sturges Road pump station will need modifications to accommodate the additional flow. This was realized during an evaluation of the station that was performed during the previous proposed development of the site. The Town looks forward to working with the developer utilizing the contributed 1/1 funds to correct the deficiencies of the station to safely accommodate the added flows. 2 P Conservation The Commission applauds many aspects of the design presented by Pulte Homes in the ENF, including: 1. Redevelopment of a site which has been abandoned for a number of years; 2. Reutilization of existing developed areas and grading for new construction, which will allow preservation of existing forested areas and significant specimen trees in landscaped areas; 3. Placement of parking under buildings to reduce overall impervious cover, and related snow management concerns; 4. Provision of large parks, green spaces, and walking trails for recreational use and scenic views; 5. Commitment to'energy efficiency, water conservation, recycling, and alternative transportation programs; As documented by the applicant in Attachment C of the ENF, the Reading Conservation Commission issued an Order of Resource Area Delineation for the site on August 28, 2008, based on a site plan by Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. The Commission confirmed the presence of an isolated freshwater wetland subject to protection under the Reading Wetlands Protection Bylaw, and a Bordering Vegetated Wetland subject to protection under the Bylaw and under MGL Ch. 131, S. 40. The Commission expects to receive a Notice of Intent in the near future for the proposed project. At that time, the Commission will review the project design and will place conditions on the work to assure compliance with State and Town wetlands performance standards, including the DEP Stormwater Management standards. Based on the soils test data, site plans, and calculations provided in the Preliminary Stormwater Report in Attachment B of the ENF, it generally. appears that the site can support stormwater management systems that meet the DEP standards. We will work with the applicant when the Notice of Intent is filed to refine the details of the plan and assure the best possible design for redevelopment of this site. We will also require dependable site work controls during all phases of the proposed 7-year construction period. We would encourage the applicant to consider whether LID systems such as green roofs and bioretention cells can be incorporated, and whether rain water can be captured for irrigation purposes. To the extent that local street intersections are being expanded and reconfigured to mitigate traffic impacts, the design may require drainage improvements for the off-site roadways. Police The Police Department is pleased that Pulte Homes has incorporated a security camera, welcome center, highway fencing, and berms near Curtis Street into its latest rendition of the Reading Woods development plans. The only remaining concerns we have with the development plans relate to motor vehicle traffic. At this time we are in the process of conducting crash analyses for the intersections of Main Street and South Street as well as Jacob Way and South Street. The traffic study included in the ENF includes crash data for 3 years; we will be looking. at the past 5 years so we can get a more complete picture. A surface level examination of our in-house data does not indicate that either of these intersections has experienced a higher than normal crash rate. 0 We look forward 'to the results of an upcoming peer-review traffic study and feel that Pulte Homes has indicated a willingness to help mitigate any negative traffic impacts resulting from the development of Reading Woods. At this time we can foresee a need for mitigation and safety planning in the following areas: 1. Ensuring safe passage vehicles turning onto South Street from Route 28 North, either through visibility or light-timing improvements 2. Re-designing the intersection of Jacob Way and South Street to ensure that vehicles do not back up onto Main Street; the first design seemed better than the most recent. 3, Installing stop signs or signals at the re-designed intersection of Jacob Way and South Street if necessary 4. Participating in the signalization of Main and Hopkins Street within close proximity to the intersection of Main and South Streets. We look forward to learning more about the details of the project as the design is developed further. Thank you for this opportunity to comment. Sincerely, Jean J.

The Conservation Administrator sent comments to the Town Manager before the meeting. The Commission discussed this area during their meeting on December lst. We do not know what action the Selectmen might have taken on November 30th, but would like to raise the following concerns .for your consideration at this time; ® The northern shoulder of Grove Street is in poor condition. Frequent parking has damaged vegetation and left tire ruts. There is no curbing or catch basin to control runoff, and several erosion gullies have formed adjacent to the low spots in the paved roadway. • Within a few feet of the paved roadway, there is a large vernal pool that provides critical breeding habitat for several species of frogs and salamanders, including at least one endangered species. • The sediments from the eroding shoulders and the contaminants that wash off the roadway surface are being conveyed directly into the vernal pool. • The paved surface and shoulders of Strout Avenue are also in poor condition near the same vernal pool, and also convey contaminants into the pool. The Commission would suggest that the Selectmen consider prohibiting parking along the northern side of Grove Street near Strout Avenue. The southern side of the street is unusually wide and provides room to park a number of vehicles. If the pavement were striped and signs were posted, this would help to direct people to park in the preferred area. The Commission would also. request that the Selectmen and DPW develop plans to stabilize the disturbed areas along both roadways, and to improve stormwater management systems. The Commission would be happy to meet with both groups to consider possible design solutions. Thank you. 46 m C J (7W1 CG C ~ 4~ ~ w.,,, rY ~ m N • c ai ~ C a+ o c 7r o ~1-J 'G ~ ~ r37 UI V ~ W r C.?

The policy is included in Appendix. Members were appointed to the ad hoc Committee and their first meeting was held on March 9, 2010. One member resigned, shortly after being appointed and the ad hoc Municipal Building Committee operated with 6 of the 7 positions filled for its duration, with member and Finance Committee member George Hines resigning in early November because he was moving out of Reading. The ad hoc Municipal Building Committee's first order of business was to establish a work plan and schedule to meet the timeline of completing their work by December 31, 2010. ,~.5 4 4 '1 Town of Reading: Ad Hoc Municipal Building Committee: FINAL REPORT page 1 WORK PLAN The Committee met 13 times between March 9 and December 2, 2010, and visited all Town buildings and 3 school buildings selected by the Superintendent of Schools during that time. The purpose of the site visits, with staff, was to understand the conditions of the building and any major needs for major maintenance, and - understand the operation of the buildings and any need for major expansion and/or renovation to meet the operating needs of the user. The Committee heard a presentation by Mary Delai and Joe Huggins from the School Department regarding the management tools and capital planning used by the Facilities Department to manage all Town and School buildings The Committee also heard a presentation by an advocate for developing the Oakland Road property-for an indoor sports facility and early childhood center. Less than a quorum of the Committee conducted a site walk of the Oakland Road property. The Committee received copies of the following reports: - RIVILD and Town of Reading "Optimization Study of Fleet Maintenance Activities" December 2000 - DPW Management study - April 2008 - Executive Summary and sections relevant to facilities - FY 2011 - 2020 Capital Improvements Program - Cemetery facility report by the Reading DPW dated December 2010 - Reading Public library - Library Building Assessment by Adams and Smith dated 9-15-08 The Committee ranked priorities for potential public buildings projects individually, then,discussed the rankings as a group. There were no significant variances among the Committee members. ranking the projects, and a consensus was easily reached. Y#~ Town of Reading:,Ad Hoc Municipal Building Committee: FINAL REPORT page 2 1I. FINDINGS The building maintenance functions conducted by the Facilities Department are excellent, and meet or exceed the expectations of the building users in the public areas. There are still some unmet needs, including storage in individual buildings for the maintenance functions. The existing 10 year FY 2011- FY 2020 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) reasonably identifies the foreseeable maintenance needs of all Town and School buildings during the life of the CIP. It is, not the intent or, purpose of the CIP to address needed major renovation and/or expansions of the buildings - that is the purpose of the work by the ad hoc Municipal Building Committee. Maintenance demands have evolved and need to continue to evolve with additions and changes in technology in classrooms, libraries, and offices. The following needs (over and above more routine maintenance identified in the CIP) were identified during the scope of the ad hoc Municipal Building Committee work and should be addressed during the next 10 years: All Buildings Security system upgrades DPW Cemetery Garage - complete replacement of the existing garage DPW Garage - Vehicle Maintenance - more space - drive through bays DPW site - security Improvement to outdoor storage Community Center Need for a Community Center Libra Expansion of net usable floor space for a variety of programmatic spaces Replacement of windows New roofing, gutters, and downspouts Masonry repair and brick pointing HC access ramp not to code Will need a new roof; and replacement of'conical turret roofs Lighting, wiring, and IT improvements Drainage improvements to address water intrusion into lower level areas to prevent ongoing damage Security improvements f?1 Town of Reading: Ad Hoc Municipal Building Committee: FINAL REPORT page 3 0q3 Police Station No building improvements needed Additional parking would be desirable Fire Stations Re-roofing West Side Station-(included in CIP) No other improvements needed Joshua Eaton School Replacement of flooring Window and door replacement Cafeteria food service line is too small New roof (included in CIP) Install rain gutters Birch Meadow School New doors and windows New Roof (included in CIP) Classroom millwork replacement Carpet replacement in media center Killam School New doors and windows New roof (included in CIP) Additional administrative space Media center is not ADA compliant Senior Center Drainage improvements to address water intrusion into lower level areas to prevent ongoing damage Kitchen renovation (not as a catering kitchen) Parking is needed Town Hall Will need a new slate roof - fairly expensive Expanded bathroom facilities lower level Minor administrative space modifications Drainage improvements to address water prevent ongoing damage intrusion into lower level areas to Projects with an * are already committed for implementation, with partial funding from the Green Repair program of the MSBA Town of Reading: Ad Hoc Municipal Building Committee: FINAL REPORT page 4 H Oakland Road property Development of this site would be very challenging due to topography. If sold it would lend itself best to a cluster type of residential development or a single building for other. appropriate use. The northerly-most portion contains a 30' high "knob" of rock. The Committee was made aware of the possibility that this portion of the site may be ideal for the location of a cell tower which could yield an ongoing source of revenue to the Town. The Committee heard a presentation on a concept whereby the Town would sell or give the property to a "for profit" organization which would then develop it for an athletic facility (gym(s) and related facilities) and an early childhood. center. The Superintendent of Schools noted that an early childhood center would be nice to have but would not be a high priority. This property represents the last significantly sized (4.5 acres) parcel of land owned by the Town which could reasonably house a new yet-unforeseen public facility. All other Town owned property is restricted as to use (school,, park, public building, cemetery, etc.) or is severely restricted as to use by land use restrictions - generally flood plain or wetland. While the ad hoc Municipal Building Committee does not see the need for any new yet-unforeseen public facility within the next 10 years, it is difficult to anticipate what needs may arise in the future - such as an all day kindergarten or early childhood center.

CONCLUSIONS The facilities management program is appropriate to maintain all buildings in excellent working order The current Capital Improvements Program (CIP) planning process is appropriate to maintain all buildings in excellent condition, but is not intended to address programmatic needs, like expansion. of the library or replacement of the cemetery garage. The condition of the Town and School buildings is generally good to excellent There is no funding available in the Capital Improvements Program in the short to mid term (current for at least 8 years) to address new building capital needs such as those identified in this study. Those projects would need to rely for funding on major outside funding and/or Proposition 2 1/2 capital exclusions or debt exclusions. There are some opportunities currently available to offset portions of projects through grant programs - particularly -in the area of Library additions and renovations, and an MSBA school building "Green Repair Program" for school roofs, windows, and/or boilers. In fact Town Meeting has recently approved the filing of a grant application under the Green Repair. program for Birch Meadow and Killam School windows and Killam School roof, and Reading has been approved for participation in this program with a 47.21 % reimbursement. There is a potential to generate some level of income from the use. of the northerly portion of the Oakland Road property for use as a cell site, which would not impact the use of the remainder of the site for other uses. The ad hoc Municipal Building Committee recommends that the Board of Selectmen continue to hold onto the Oakland Road property and land bank it for some as yet unforeseen public use. This recommendation can be reevaluated at any time, and should be reevaluated at least every 10 years. ail Town of Reading: Ad Hoc Municipal Building Committee: FINAL REPORT page 6 The committee recognizes the strong desire by the community, as evidenced by discussion at the World Cafe and mention in the Master Plan, to have a community center. The Committee recognizes that the Board of Selectmen has had some discussion about whether or not to pursue the acquisition of the former Christian Science Church next to the Town Hall for that purpose, and the Board of Selectmen has decided not to pursue it at this time. The community needs to recognize that the Town's public buildings need ongoing review, occasional updating, and periodic major renovation. Packaging several of the more expensive building projects into a single Proposition 2 1/z debt exclusion may be appropriate to enable the Town to move forward.with several important projects in a comprehensive manner, and to take advantage of funding programs that are available to help to offset the costs of these projects. Additionally, the economic climate makes this an opportune time to bid construction projects and to get a favorable cost of construction and favorable interest rates for borrowing. This review of the condition of and programmatic use of all public buildings in the community has been a very worthwhile endeavor, and an ad hoc Municipal Building Committee. should be established every 10 years to do a similar review.

Review and understand the scope of the charge to the ad hoc committee, and develop a suggested work plan and schedule; 2. Reach out to Town Departments and Boards/Committees/Commissions that may have building space needs within the next 10 years (2020) for their information and ideas; 3. Understand the resources available to potentially address Municipal Building needs, including Town owned property on Oakland Road which is currently under the care, custody, and control of the Board of Selectmen; 4. Prepare a preliminary report on the scope of foreseeable Municipal Building needs through the 2020; 5. Submit the preliminary to the Board of Selectmen for their review and comment; 6.

Armen is working on a design and budget to use wood there instead of wallboard to. keep the "cabin" feeling. Doors to back rooms have been widened to meet access standards. Lights are being installed. Phone line and alarm system panel have been installed. A phone set has been donated. Subflooring materials have been applied, and tiles will go down beginning this week. Kitchen cabinets are on site, to be installed after floor goes down. Kitchen and bath sinks will be installed after floor goes down. A company based in Burlington, Roux Associates, has volunteered to paint the interior walls in March. Ramp from parking lot still needs balusters and we need a small ramp to the porch. Jordan's has offered living room furniture. I am waiting to see how the budget goes before ordering anything else. Fundraising flyers were included in the recent YCC and Rec. brochure, but no response yet. Trail Committee is planning a guided walk on Feb. 6th, 1:00, beginning at the cabin. An opportunity to hand out more flyers and give people a peak at the cabin. Blower door test will be this Saturday, 10-12, another opportunity to hand out flyers. I think that's about it for now.

This action is necessary due to the narrowing of the roadways as a result of the large amount of snow we have received. With-the narrowing roadways, the passage of emergency vehicles, specifically fire apparatus, would be hindered without these regulations. .0 Washington St. between Prescott St: and Fulton St. temporary No Parking on the. Northerly side. • Washington St. between Prescott St. and Woburn St. temporary No Parking on both sides: • Washington St. between Woburn St. and BriarWood Apartments temporary No Parking on the Easterly side. • Green St. between Ash-St. and the entrance to Rite Aid Pharmacy temporary No Parking on the Northerly side. I will forward a copy of this memo to the Department Heads for their information and post it on the RPD website.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding these restrictions please don't hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Chief James W. Cormier Chief of Police
