Ad in istrative -matters
♦ The Town of Reading hosted the National a Guard deploymen t at Reading
Memorial High School Field House today Tuesday. February15, 2011. The
National Guard was truly appreciative of the efforts of the Town, and particularly
for the community support I for buying sweatshirts for each of the soldiers. The
total cost of the sweatshirts was $9,000, and the total amount of money raised to
date is $11,335. The surplus will be kept in a fund by the Town to be used at the
request of the National Guard to assist the soldiers as needed for items such as
helping to pay for travel for emergency leave. I cannot remember everyone to
recognize for their efforts, but they include the Reading Police, Fire, School, and
Public Works Departments, as well as VSO Frank Driscoll and CS AA Maureen
Knight.
♦ Census forms went out to all households towards the end of January. This was
done in house this year to save money. In addition to the dog licensing the Town
Clerk included information for anyone interested in being a Poll Worker. Please
remember to license your dog!

You are aware, I am slue, of the existence of a bus stop on Walkers Brook Drive just east of New
Crossing Road. With the new commercial developments in the area within the past five to seven years,
this formerly dormant bus stop has become very.well used.
The bus stop does not currently contain a bus shelter or bench, so several entrepreneurial riders have put
together a bench of shopping carts. I am sure that we would all agree that such an arrangement does not
reflect well on the aesthetics of the area, it does not serve the patrons — your customers — well.
We have researched possible bus shelters, and have selected the attached as a shelter that reflects the
quality of the area and the aesthetic standards of the community. The cost is $14,000 plus installation.
The Town is willing to contribute the cost of installation, and to assume responsibility for long term
maintenance. We are asking whether the business community (as represented by the recipients of this
letter) is willing to contribute to the cost of purchase of the shelter. This would reflect well on you as a
service to your employees. Donations would be made to the Town of Reading,. and we would arrange to
make the purchase and handle the installation.
Please let me know your thoughts on this matter — if possible by February 28. Thanks for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
James E. Bonazoli, Chairman

Prepared by MAPC, the attached Snow Removal Policy Toolkit better informs communities about snow
removal policies and procedures, and provides them with tools to increase compliance and safety.
The current winter weather and recent Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision, Papadopoulos v.
Target Corporation, which makes property owners more liable for not clearing their sidewalks of snow and
ice, makes this toolkit timely.
Specifically, the Toolkit is comprised of six sections:
1. Implications of Papadopoulos v. Target Corporation
2. Sidewalk Snow Clearance Policies Map
3. Boston Region Pedestrian Transportation Plan —Snow and Ice Removal Excerpt
4. Comparison Table of Snow Clearance Ordinances in the Boston Region
5. Examples of Snow Clearance Ordinances in the Boston Region
6. Sample Municipal Snow Removal Brochures
Many of the tools and recommendations included in this toolkit are part of the Boston Region Pedestrian
Transportation Plan, which is endorsed by the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization and
supported by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
A hard copy of the Snow Removal Policy Toolkit is enclosed for your information and use. The Snow Removal
Policy Toolkit can also be viewed on the MAPC website at: http://mrmy.mapc.org/smart-growtl-i/"`transportation.
If you have questions regarding ordinance preparation or if you would like to speak with MAPC in more

Subject: sight-lines at intersections
Hello,
. A few years ago there was a proposed regulation regarding prohibiting obstructions in the sight-lines
at intersections. The proposal was defeated at Town Meeting due in part to the large size of the proposed
no obstruction area.It was also defeated, if I recall correctly, due to the unfortunate proposed regulation
of parking in driveways that extended past the property lines. (This would be on roads where the street
isn't paved as wide as the location of the property lines might allow.)
I would suggest that this matter should be reviewed now in light of everyone's awareness of the the
inability of the DPW to move snow onto some properties at intersections due to fences or other
obstructions.
Thanks for your attention to this public safety concern.
Sincerely,
Charles. Donnelly Moran

Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency
Update: Federal Disaster Assistance for Severe Winter Storms
*Y. February 7, 2011
This memorandum provides an update on the efforts of the Massachusetts Emergency Ma
Agency (MEMA),in collaboration with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small
Business Administration (SBA), to determine the state's eligibility to receive federal disaster assistance for
three recent severe winter storms:
• December 26-27.2O1ONoreaaber
• January 13/2O11No[easter
• February 1-2, 2011 Severe Winter Storm
December 26-27.2010 Noreamtmr
For this storm, which caused moderate to severe coastal flooding along portions of the east coast, MEMA
has determined that the state may be eligible for only one federal disaster program: the Public Assistance
(PA) Disaster Program administered by FEy4A. Under this program, If the state meets federal thresholds
and obtains Public Assistance Disaster Declaration from the President, FEMAvV||| reimburse the state,
and cities and towns |ncounties covered by the Declaration, for 75% of their costs for debris removal,
ennergeOcyprotactiYemaaaunaS,aOdLherepair,rep|ace[Dent,orrestorationofdisasterdamoged,
publicly owned facilities and infrastructure. (seawalls, bridges, roads, etc.) and the facilities of certain
private non-profit organizations. Note, however, that the PA Disaster Program does notcover the cost of
snow and ice removal.
For the past four weeks, MEMA has been working with state agencies and cities and. t�oin�
count�sthatrece�edsubstanba| storm damage, toco|�ct and nev�w�nan�a|info,mationabout the
costs of providing emergency protective measures during the storm and repairing storm damage to
publicly owned facilities and certain private non-profit organizations. Based on the initial cost information
provided by these cities and towns, and state agencies, MEMA has determined that only two counties
may reach federal PAthresholds: Plymouth and Essex. Accordingly, FEMA, supported bvME[qA, initiated
a Preliminary Damage Assessment in these two counties to further evaluate the costs of providing
emergency protective measures and repairing or replacing storm damaged public infrastructure. MEMA
expects that this week, FEMA will conclude its Preliminary Damage Assessment. IfFEMAdeterminaothat
these counties, and the state, are likely to meet minimum federal thresholds under the PA program, the
Governor will be able tnformally request that the President issue a Public Assistance Disaster Declaration.
The initial deadline for completing the assessment pvocessandforma|k/requestngaPADisastar
Declaration was January 27, 2011, but FEMA has extended the deadline for an additional 30 days.
JanuaLry 12, 2011 Nor' aster
Unlike the December 26-27noreasterthat caused significant damage to public property and
infrastructure asoresult of coastal flooding and high winds, the January 12' noreaster caused much less
damage, but local and state snow removal costs were much larger. For this otorm,MEMA has
.determined that the only federal disaster program that may offer assistance to the Commonwealth is the
FEMA Snow Assistance Disaster Program. If the President issues a Snow Assistance Disaster Declaration,
FEMA will reimburse the state, and cities and towns in counties covered by the Declaration, for 75% of
their costs ofproviding emergency protective measures, including snow and ice removal.
Snow Assistance Disaster Declarations are issued bvcounty. A county is eligible for a Snow Assistance
Disaster Declaration if it received a record or near record snowfall during a specific period of time. This
on
'
storm isconsidered a 1-d oy storm by the National Weather Service (N S) . If aonu nty meets or exceed
s
this snowfall threshold, there is a secondary formula to determine whether contiguous counties may also
be eligible for a Snow Assistance Declaration.
Based on data collected by the National Weather Service for the January 17m MEMA has
determined that following six counties maybe eligible for a Snow Assistance Disaster Declaration:
Berkshire, Essex, Hampshire, Middlesex, Norfolk and Suffolk. (Berkshire and Hampshire Counties set new
snowfall records; Suffolk County came within 1096 of its records; Essex, Middlesex and Norfolk Counties
are eligible based on a FEMA formula that includes contiguous counties under certain circumstances.)
MEMA must also determine whether snow removal costs for cities and towns |n these six counties, and
the state, met or exceeded minimum cost thresholds established bvBMA. Accordingly, for the past two
weeks y4Ey4A has been collecting cost information from cities and towns in these counties, and state
agencies. Based on this information, MEMA has determined that all sin counties are likely to meet or
exceed FEMA's thresholds. Accordingly, this week FEMAw|U conduct Preliminary Damage Assessments in
these counties, meaning that they will visit some cities and towns, and some state agencies to review
their financial records. Once these Preliminary Damage Assessments are complete (which should be this
week), FEMA will advise y4EMA whether the state may move forward with a formal request for a Snow
Assistance Disaster Declaration for these six counties.
February 1-2, 2011 Snow and Ice Storm
On February Vtand 2 nd/2011,asevere winter storm brought snow, ice and rain to much of the state.
Although the total precipitation in this storm was signific * antly less than in the two prior storms, the
weight of the vvetsnow, ice and rain, when added to existing snow loads on roofs, has caused more than
100 buildings to suffer roof collapses or structural damage. MEMA has determined that the only federal
disaster programs that may offer support to homeowners, tenants and businesses are the Snoa|\ Business
Administration (SBA) Physical Disaster Assistance Program, and the SBA Economic Injury Disoater
Program. Accordingly, MEMA already is working with the SBA to see if the extent and severity of the
damage to homes and businesses qualifies any counties to be eligible for one or both of these disaster
programs. SBA disaster declarations would make long-term low interest loans available to qualifying
home owners and tenants, and businesses to repair damaged structures and replace ruined personal
belongings and business equipment.
Declaration: SBA Physical Disaster The SBA may issue physical disaster declaration |n any county or
other smaller political subdivision of a State when at least 25 homes or 25 businesses, oracombination
of at least 25 homes, businesses, or other eligible institutions, each sustain uninsured losses of 40% or
more of the estimated fair replacement value or pre-disaster fair market value of the damaged property/
whichever islower. Under an SBA physical disaster declaration, low interest loans are available to
businesses and homes to repair or replace disaster damages to property/ including real estate, machinery
and equipment inventory and supplies. Businesses of any aira are eligible. SBA offers low interest loans
upto$2OO,O00to repair disaster damaged primary residences. Additionally, homeowners and renters
are eligible for loans up to $40,000 to replace personal property such as furniture, appliances and
clothing. Loans to businesses of all sizes and non-profit organizations are available up to $2,000,000 to
repairdomage.to neo| estate, inventory, machinery, and equipment.
Declaration: SBA Economic Iniu[y The SBA may issue an economic injury dednrationinudianceona
state certification that at least five small business concerns in a disaster area have suffered substantial
economic injury as a result of the disaster and are in need of financial assistance not otherwise available
on reasonable terms. The threshold usually used by the SBA to determine whether 5 snla|| businesses
have suffered "substantial aoononn|o injury" is S or more businesses within a business district orcounty
that each has or likely will suffer at least a 4096 loss of income over o defined period of time.

Attn: Peter Hechenbleikner
Town Manager
16 Lowell Street
Reading, MA 01867
Dear Town Managers
We will all agree that this has been the WORSE winter in a decade. Since tone day
after Christmas, every 3 -4 days or so we have received a snowstorm, and up to the present
day the weathermen state that we have received over 70 inches of snowy. Needless to say,
the people are SICK AND TIRED of shoveling and snowblowing.
The town has been very safety - conscious in plowing the snow from the streets, even if
that plowing resulted in large amounts of snow being deposited on the sidewalks. Thus,
snaking that snowy removal the responsibility of the residents.
Now, as you drive around the town your are confronted with HUGE mounds of snow so
that driving have become an extreme hazard. Cars conning from side streets, driveways
and parking lots CANNOT BE SEEN COMING AND TIf-1fEY CANNOT SEE THE
DRIVER ON THE ROAD COMING. Someone will be serious inj ured or worse if these
banks continue to be neglected. So what is the town doing about these safety hazards`
From what can be seen - - - - NOTHING!!!!
The town has a responsibility, not only in clearing streets, but also in downsizing these
mountainous snow banks in order to snake driving visibility safer. Thinly about children
who may suddenly appear from behind a huge snow bank - - - - do your want to be
responsible for the injury or worse, to a child because you dad not downsize these banks?
It is time that this town got off its rump and started to face the problem these banks
cause and DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEM IINSTIEAD OF WAITING FOR 14 MOTHER
NATURE TO HANDLE THE PROBLEM. People are paying a lot of money in taxes in
this town - - - and they deserve a lot better in regards to safety, no matter what the
weather.
Sincerely,
Disgusted Resident

Introduction
The Town of Reading Public Works Department is seeking to. replace the cemetery garage currently
located at the Laurel Hill cemetery. While a few additions have been constructed. over the years, the original
section of the building is well over one-hundred years old. Over the past several years, the garage has
experienced major storage issues, as well as an overall structural deterioration typically seen in century old
buildings.
Presently, the cemetery garage consists of a main floor having about- 1,550 square feet of space, a two-bay
basement garage having approximately 400 square feet, attic space of about 1,100 square feet, and outside
equipment storage utilizing about 275 square feet. The total area currently used is therefore 3,325 square feet.
This area can be summarized as follows:
Main Floor
➢ Garage area for equipment (2 small I dump trucks, 1 pickup truck, and 1 backhoe) —1,100 square feet
➢ Maintenance Area / Bathroom / Looker Room / Office — 450 square feet
Basement
➢ Basement garage area (Mowing equipment and turf sweeper) — 400 square feet
Attic
➢ Attic storage area— 1,100 square feet
Exterior Storage
➢ 2 equipment trailers currently stored outside — 275 square feet
The overall purpose at this point in the planning stage is not for designing a new building, but rather to
understand and outline the particular location requirements for a new garage facility that would meet the
Cemetery Division's space needs, and in return would develop information allowing an architect, engineer, or
other design professional to scope out the amount of space actually needed.
13
Execnfive Summary
The results of this study were based on criteria such as the amount of usable area available at each site;
the anticipated additional time to be spent on grounds maintenance resulting from future grave sales; the amount
of graves to be displaced to accommodate a new building (if applicable); the impact of any site on residential
neighborhoods in the area; the driving distance between each site including the Town Hall, Public Works garage,
and compost center; the proximity of utilities to the proposed site; the percentage of time actually spent at each
location-on grounds maintenance and internments; and the level of development required for either future grave
placement or building location.
Based on these criteria listed and the rating system developed for this study, the following locations
should be considered.for additional analysis as potential sites for the new cemetery garage facility:
➢ Laurel Hill cemetery (existing site)
➢ Forest Glen cemetery
➢ Pearl Street at Audubon Road
Charles Lawn cemetery should not be considered as a potential site location at all as there is currently no
useable space available for. the placement of a garage facility.
2.
14 ��
Site Criteria
Potential sites within the Town of Reading to be considered for a new garage, as depicted in Figure l, . include
the current location at Laurel Hill cemetery bounded by Lowell Street and -Main Street, Forest Glen'cemetery at the
intersection of Forest Glen Road and Pearl Street, Charles Lawn cemetery on Charles Street, Wood End cemetery on
Franklin Street, Town -owned property on Pearl Street at the intersection of Audubon Road, and the Public Works
facility on Newerossing Road. Any proposed site location should be designed to meet the needs of the Cemetery
Division for approximately fifty years, with as much flexibility as possible to adequately satisfy the needs of the
Division for the lifespan of the building. It should be assumed that, due to a lack of available land, the Town will
neither be creating any new cemeteries nor expanding the size of any of the existing cemeteries in the future. The
quality of design and construction of any new facility should reflect the historical nature (if any), quality, and scale of
the surroundings in which it is to be located. It should be noted, though, that fuel will only be obtained at the Public
Works facility on Newerossing Road where it is currently stored. In addition, regardless of which location might be
chosen, meeting coordination amongst other Public Works divisions might be difficult, however, should be
manageable, as it is currently, and should not be used as a factor in determining site location. Lastly, while materials
are currently stored at the Public Works facility on Newcrossing Road, and storage is so limited at all of the other
locations mentioned, storage should not be considered a factor, either in this study, as bulk material storage at any of
these sites, aside from the Public Works facility, would produce aesthetic issues not suited for its surroundings.
The garage facility should be heated and capable of housing the same equipment being utilized now which
includes at a minimum, two small dump trucks, one pick -up truck, one-baekhoe, five mowers, one turf sweeper, two
utility trailers, leaf blowers, weed whackers, miscellaneous hand tools, grave equipment, veteran's markers, seasonal
equipment, etc., as well as servicing four (4) full time employees and two seasonal employees. In addition, employees
would need space for lockers, showers, and an eating facility, as well as a maintenance area for smaller equipment,
which the cemetery division employees perform themselves on -site. The facility would not require, however, any
administrative offices, as any records and support staff would best be suited in the Town Hall, on Lowell Street, where
they currently reside. Therefore,• given the.scope of this evaluation and the space limitations on each site, the following
assumptions can be made for the footprint area of the structure, based upon potential layouts included within this study:
➢ 4,300 square feet— single ,story structure
2,400 square feet — single story structure with a full basement underneath
➢ 2,625 square feet —one and a half story structure' with attic storage and no basement
It must be noted that these layouts are not intended to be the required layouts but merely a representation of how the
current equipment could fit within a given layout. Regardless of the building configuration, the following minimum
areas should be maintained:
3,300 square feet— vehicle and equipment maintenance and storage
➢ 400 square feet — employee facilities such as an office, locker room, bathroom, and shower area
In addition to the required footprint of the building, land must also. be allocated for seven parking spaces dedicated to
employee parking during the day, as well as space for adequately maneuvering vehicles around the premises.

Laurel Hill Cemetery — Lowell Street / Main Street
Laurel Hill is a historic cemetery having housed the cemetery garage facilities for over one hundred years.
The cemetery is bounded by Lowell Street and Main.Strect, across from the Town 11all, where administrative
offices and records are currently stored, as illustrated in Figure 2. The cemetery area is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places. Effects of this on the replacement of the existing garage with a new facility at
same location still have to be addressed. This site is very beneficial . for security purposes, as the cemetery abuts a
neighborhood setting. The abutters are also currently accustomed to having facility activities at this location. The
current location of the garage is more suited for a facility . of this kind anyway, since the area contains potential
large amounts of rook ledge that could make for difficult placement of future additional cemetery plots at this
location. The current location of the cemetery garage is the only possible location at Laurel hill, as the cemetery
is built out to its maximum limits. On the contrary, though, if this site were selected for the new facility, all of the
current equipment and staff would have to relocate during construction, and, based on the fact that the Public
Works facility is already limited with the operating space that it has, it could greatly binder the way the
Department would be forced to operate*, even just on a temporary basis.

Forest Glen Cemetery —.Forest Glen Road / Pearl Street
Forest Glen cemetery, as seen in Figure 6, is located approximately 1.3 miles from the Town Hall on
Lowell Street. Potential land is available for the cemetery garage facility in the southwesterly comer of the
cemetery. The site is beneficial for security purposes, since it would abut a neighborhood setting, however,
abutters would not be accustomed to having facility activities at this location. This location contains a wooded
area and would require some site development as the terrain presently slopes off on one side of it. Due to these
conditions, the site in its current form would not be suitable. for future internments, however should indeed be
considered very beneficial for a possible garage location.

Charles Lawn Cemetery- Charles Street
Charles Lawn cemetery, as seen in Figure 9, is located approximately 1.3 miles from the Town Hall on
Lowell Street. While there is land currently available at this site, most areas are either already developed for
future plot sales, already sold for future graves, or are pre - existing wooded areas encroaching upon wetlands.
While some of the already developed land could -potentially be used for a garage facility, valuable land currently .
intended for future grave sales would-have to be abandoned. Therefore, as developable areas within the Town for
future internments become a premium due, to a lack of available land, every attempt should be made not to disrupt
current.usable land to occupy a garage facility. It is therefore highly recommended that a garage facility not be
placed at this location.

Wood End Cemetery — Franklin Street
Wood End cemetery, as seen in Figure 10, is located approximately 2.3 miles from the Town Hall on
Lowell Street. The cemetery grounds currently abut land owned by the Town of Reading Conservation
Commission on the northerly and westerly sidelines. While the cemetery is mostly built out, buildable land, not
suitable at all for cemetery plots due do a drastic change in grade along the northernmost sideline, does exist and
should be considered as a candidate. The available land at this location would be somewhat secluded from
neighboring properties, as well as a moderate distance from . Franklin Street. While t hi s nlay be considered
beneficial to many, it also heightens security issues as well for any new facility. Based on the required building
footprint for this site; as well as an assumption of approximately 34 square feet per grave, about nine (9) future
potential single grave lots would have to be abandoned. However,, given the existing layout of the cemetery
grounds for future burials, this particular location would create the least amount of impact in regards to grave
locations for future sales.

Pearl Street (at Audubon Road)
Located approximately 0.75 miles from Town Hall on Lowell Street, this over 25,000 square foot area, as
seen in Figure 14, contains both a parcel of Town owned property as well as land formally occupying a section of
Pearl Street prior to the relocation of the roadway by the Town to its current Iodation in a vote of Town Meeting
in March, 1945. Prior to any potential selection for this site, it should be noted that the "old Pearl Street" right-of-
way would need to be formal ly an I abdon by the Town if a garage were to be erected within its limits..
Furthermore, due to an abrupt change in grade to the immediate westerly side of the property, some form of a
retaining wall ranging in height from two (2) to five (5) feet, whether in the, form of an actual retaining wall or.
Simply part of the building foundation, wouldneed to be constructed. Aside from this along with a small amount
of tree removal, the lot is relatively level, and would require only minimal site development if chosen. This site
location -would be beneficial for security purposes as it resides within a residential area, however, being in a
residential area might cause concern with neighbors due to daily activities associated with a facility of this type.

Public Works Facility — 15 Newcrossing Road
The public Works facility, as seen in Figure 17, is approximately 1 mile from Town Hall and currently
houses several divisions of the Public . Works Department. While not the most favorable of locations due to space
limitations, two potential sites do exist at the Public Works facility.. Option A is located at the edge of the
detention pond to the northern side of the parking lot at the Public Works facility. 'The building would actually be
positioned over the edge of the existing detention pond and be supported by large concrete drainage structures that
would allow I the detention area to function as it currently is now. In addition, due to the placement of and access
to the building, a total of thirteen (13) existing parking spaces would have to be relocated, along with six (6)
additional spaces for cemetery employee parking, as can be seen in Figure 19.
Option B is located on the southeasterly side of the driveway entrance to the ' Public Works facility: The
building would set back approximately fifteen (15) feet from the e . dge of the driveway for safety purposes and
would be located within the current material storage area for the Public Works Department. In addition, due to
the already overcrowded parking situation and the potential addition of cemetery division employees to the garage
facility, an additional nineteen (19) parking spaces would be added along the southwesterly side of the material
storage area to help alleviate some of the parking problems being faced, as can be seen in Figure 20.
While these two (2) locations would be convenient for fuel accessibility, and material storage, etc, the
sites are located on the opposite side of Town from all of the current cemeteries as well as the Town Hall itself,
. making accessibility difficult at times in accessing these locations. Any new facility would still require its own
maintenance area as any more on-site maintenance in the Public Works facility would greatly impact the already
overburdened 4aintenance Division of the Public Works Department. All vehicles, and maintenance equipment,
as well as . a small office space would be housed in the new facility. If necessary, due to space limitations, lockers,
showers, and an eating facility could possibly be utilized at the Public Works facility along with the other
divisions.
➢ Potential usable space on site— about 14,138 square feet
➢ Utility availability

2. If you have any thoughts /comments about the Fall Street Faire possibly being
held on 9/11/2011, please include them here.
Answered: 82 Skipped: 62
• I don't think a happy event should take place on that date
• If it wouldn't be hugely disruptive to change the date, I feel that 9/11 is a day
when public events should be muted in deference to the memory of the innocent
people murdered on that day in 2001.
• Tie ribbons on trees to remember the day, let the world know we will go on but
we will never forget! 1!
• I think 9 -11 us a sacared day. I think we should hold it 9/4 or 9 -18.
• It just doesn't feel right to have a town -wide celebration. on 9/11
• It should be changed for 9/11 and because the children are just back in school and
everyone is getting into the swing of things all over again for the beginning of the
school year and rapping up their summer vacations. I think it should be changed
to later in September or beginning of October - you may end up getting more
local vendors at that point. Just a thought.
• It's a very hard decision to make. But, my feeling is that we, as a nation and
community, don't do enough to honor those who died that day. Unless the Faire
can do something to recognize the significance of the day and honor those who
lost their lives (and their loved ones who are still hurting), I think it would be best
to hold it on another day.
• Hold it on the 18th.
• If you modify your plans due to it being an anniversary of that horrible event than
the terrorists have truly prevailed.
• Life goes on
• What better way to say.. we stayed strong and you ( the terrorist ) didnt beat us! ! !
• A town celebration is appropriate on this day. Something in memory of those who
lost their lives on 9/11 should be included, but I think changing the date would
only allows what the terrorists wanted to do to the US, to stop commerce and our
way of life, to come true.
• The date should be a day of rememberance to honor those who perished.
• As long as you have some sort of memorial /aknowledgement I think it would be
fine but others may not feel the same way. Since it's not a longstanding tradition
to have this event on the 2nd Sunday, I dont think anyone would be too thrown
off it you postponed it a week.
• It could be used to reafirm our love for our country
• The Street Faire is the type of event that defines New England way of life, and
American culture at large. We should not change the date, but rather use it as the
perfect opportunity to remember 9/11 and honor those who serve. There should be
an appropriate remembrance ceremony as part of the Faire.
• View the faire as both an annual town event and also a tribute to our country.
• Life goes on! It's a positive, uplifting event and no reason not to engage in
activities that inspire us to move forward!
• Disresepctful
• Maybe have a moment of silence during a certain time.
I remember that day as a time when my family, community and country were
unified and closer than ever. i think that is what the Fall Street Fair accomplishes
every year and I can't thing of a better way to celebrate the l Oth anniversary of
9/11. I have an idea may have already been explored but I think it would be a
great way to honor and thank our military. We could invite and honor the active
men and women of'the Army National Guard from Camp Curtis Guild here in
Reading. I envision military equipment from the camp on the green in downtown
Reading that the kids could play in and around. The soldiers could answer
questions. I attended the US Marines exhibition at the Boston Public Gardens this
summer. There were thousands of kids playing on the planes, jeeps and tanks and
talking with the soldiers. It was a lot of fun and my kids wanted go back the next
day. The fall Street fair is very well organized and my family looks forward to
attending it every year. I feel it is Reading at it's best. Thank You!
• Acknowledge the 9/11 disaster somehow.
• Maybe have a tribute to 9/11. Holding the street faire on 9/11 this year may be 'a
nice way to bring community together. exactly what we need after such an event.
• at this point 9/11 should be a day of refection, and spent with family. an option to
consider is either hold it on Sat 9/10, or the following Sunday 9/18. either is
probably a day better spent with family
• For this year in honor of 9/11, Name it the Fall Street "Freedom" Fair, and have a
patriotic theme, along with the regularly scheduled events.
• I feel that it's the best time for everyone to get together.
• I love the faire (just moved here this summer from New York) but the thought of
spending my day at the faire on 9/11 makes me feel a little queasy. I have spent
that day contemplating, listening to the radio (as i was doing that morning) and
listening to the list of names read at ground zero .... i can't imagine not doing that
on the 10th anniversary of one of the worst days in American History. So I guess i
feel pretty strongly that the fair be scheduled around that. Not sure if you all have
memorials here marking 9/1 l....-hard to think of sandwiching that into a fair day.
• This would be fine as long as it is acknowledged in some way.
• If we change it, then the terrorists win. Seriously, we should live our lives as
normal and perhaps hold a moment of silence to honor the tragedy.
• I do not have any ideas yet.
• May effect attendance
• If so it should be dedicated to the victims and families of 9 -11
• Tenth anniversary is special this year. Can we choose another Sunday?
• We don't have to forget, but it's time to move on.
• It is important for American towns and cities to maintain their traditions.
great way to honor and remember the date
• seems NOT QUJITE RIGHT.
• I think it's a great day to do some celebrating. It was such a traumatic day, I think
having fun is a great way to say "we made it through ". I'm sure there's some way
to incorporate a memorial into the day. Maybe having a moment of silence at a
certain time or something. Maybe there's a local group that would like to have a
table with a memorial of some kind. I say, don't ignore it, but don't change the
faire when it's been held on a certain day just because of the date.
• I can't think of any reason why it should be insulting to anyone - however, I'm
generally much more open minded than the general population of Reading. By the
way, what IS the Fall Street Faire. I've lived in Reading for over ten years and I've
never heard of it...
• The date 9/11 reminds us of tragedy. I don't think there should be any kind of
celebrations on that date.
This is an excellent way to celebrate the fact that life continues and provides a
place to have a remembrance of 9/11. We should not move the event - it sends the
wrong message.
• It would be a perfect opportunity to remember and honor those who died on that
day.
• My only comment is not about 9/11, but that the Street Faire often conflicts with
Reading Youth Soccer, which affects a lot of families.
The theme should be "10 years and we will never forget" ! The faire should start
with a memorial event on the common and a mid faire moment of silence and
reflection at 2PM. Maybe every person attending should be given a ribbon or a
large sticker to wear in remembrance.
• You could do a booth or area that supports donations for existing charities for
9/11 families. I don't think life should stop but we can remember and respect by
doing something to support the memory of that day.
They should have it be Red White and Blue themed
• It would allow the town to .take appropriate measures to honor the day, as well as
to take measures to effectively show the world we have moved forward by
celebrating a culture that we cherish and will preserve.
• I don't feel there is any disrespect for holding the fair on that day.
We have already forgotten why we celebrate other days ... this is probably not the
way to go
• Only if there is some remembrance of those lost during that day.
It's a tough call. On the one hand, to bring the community together is a wonderful
lesson of the 9/11 event. However, it still has a pretty strong, painful memory
associated with it.
• There is no reason not to hold the fair,so short of honoring the day in a speech,
you should do it.
• Reschedule
• If it is to be held on that date (the 10th anniversary) then there should be some
sort of memorial ceremony before the festivities start.
• I think it would be inappropriate to have, such a celebratory event on the tenth
anniversary of such a tragic event for our country.
• Yes I want to hold the faire on 9/11/11. Part of what will make this community
event even more special is that we as citizens of this great country have gone back
about our lives and do not let the evil actions of others get in our way. A
remembrance though for those that have died would be a very nice gesture.
I believe there can be a nice tribute made in memory. The day will always be here
to haunt us, it is what we do with it.
• I believe that life does go on and so should the Street Faire. It would be good to
start off the day with a remembrance of those who lost their lives that day.
• If you do hold the fair on 9/1 l,you should incorporate some remembrance
ceremony for the victims.
it is not a problem - we should not be altering our lifes around 9/11 - yes of course
remember and honor lost ones but enuf with the terrorism stuff
• It seems we should carry on.
• I think it would be OK to have the Faire on 9/11. Maybe you. can incorporate
some kind of memorial into the festivities!
• I think it's important to remember and recognize the 10th anniversary but not let it
determine our lives. Maybe a ceremony of remembrance or moment of silence to
start the day is appropriate. When was the last time we scheduled our activities
around Pearl Harbor Day for example?
• Life goes on.
• that is disrespectful
• I'm honestly surprised that you are even asking that. Does anyone in charge of the
street fair have a brain?
• I think that by having the faire as scheduled it would show that we are resilient
and able to cope with tragedies of the past. It will show that we will not mope in
fear and grief but celebrate the lives of those who were lost on that tragic day.
It's not a strong 'no' but unless you can incorporate a remembrance into it, it might
be a solemn day that people would rather not have a faire on... I'd probably still
go, but am thinking about the general mood.
• Acts of terror and violence by Muslim extremists should not dictate and deter how
we live our lives. We should remain very mindful of this tragic event as the Fall
Street Faire is conducted. Perhaps a brief remembrance ceremony conducted by
town leaders could precede the opening of the Faire.
• I do not think that it would be appropriate to hold the fair on the tenth anniversary
of 9/11. It's too somber & reflective of a day. We should all spend time
remembering the victims and our soldiers that have lost their lives in the wars. It
just doesn't feel right to have folks tailgating, etc. Just change it to the following
weekend. Thank you.
• Absolutely not! That tragic day needs to be a day of solemn reverence, not a street
faire. I will not attend nor support this event if held on 9/11.
• I will attend the fair no matter what date it is held. My only concern would be if
there are numerous competing memorial services /remembrances' during that
53
weekend which people would instead attend.
• It is an awesome event and a great way for the community to meet and be
together. What better way to honor the anniversary of an event that reminds us
why we all need to stand together.
• It strikes me that on the 10th anniversary of a national tragedy, having the Faire
this day would be both rude and inappropriate.
• I think it is especially disrespectful to the day to hold a faire, especially on the
10th anniversary. It would totally change the atmosphere of the day. My family
would not attend and it would likely affect our attendance in future years. It's just
not appropriate!
• The Faire should under any circumstances be on 9 -11 There should be no
question.
• Yes, with acknowledgment of the 9/11 anniversary in drama or song or a
memorial booth or some other way. Celebrate life; respect loss, but don't dwell on
death and destruction. Life goes on.
•. Although 9/11 is a significant and tragic event in our country's history, its effects
should be minimized. Certainly an event planned, such as the Street Faire, should
be held as scheduled. If an organization desires to have a special memorial, a
booth should be provided.
• Life goes on, and so must we.
• Having the FSF on 9/11/11 will no detract from my remembrance of 9/11
• have a moment of silence in the morning and then go about the festivities. it's
good to remember the past but we must continue to live in the present.
• 1 do not think it is appropriate to hold such a celebration on the anniversary date
of the murder of 3000 Americans. It should not even be a consideration. 09/11
should be a day of reverence for those who perished. There are three other
weekends that can be used to hold the event. Just pick the next weekend.

During our meeting tonight, the EDC discussed the November 30'h Board of
Selectmen discussion of the 30 minute parking on Main Street from Quick Stop
and Quimos in front of their Main Street businesses.
The EDC recommends that the BOS not approve . this request, due to a going
forward concern about the spot response to parking restrictions. We recommend
that the full parking study recommendations first be explored and implemented
before granting such a request.
As more restaurants and businesses come into our downtown (and create the
vibrancy that we've all been striving for) we urge strong caution to piecemeal
parking restrictions and the potential negative impact of these changes.

and Events Trust (DIET) as needed, and from other sources as available,
to operate a high quality Faire; and return funds remaining at the
completion of the Faire to the DIET to fund future Faires and other
activities as provided by the documents establishing , the DIET.
Accounting of all fiends for the event will go through. the Town's
accounting system. A report will be submitted to the EDC monthly, or
more frequently if needed, detailing the expenditures from the DIET for
the Fall Street Faire.
Immediately following the event, solicit feedback from participants and
attendees and utilize that feedback in planning the next year's event.
Not later than December 31 of each year, report to the Board of Selectmen
on the activities, evaluation, and finances of the event for that year.
The Committee will be made up of five (5) members. If possible, at least one
member will be designated to represent the interests of the Reading business community.
Subcommittees may be created by a vote of the Committee. Members of
Subcommittees do not necessarily have to be members of the Committee.
The Committee shall meet as needed, with meetings of the Committee and
Subcommittee(s) held in accordance with the Open Meeting Law.
The Committee shall administratively fall within the Department of Community
Services. Staff support for the direct work of the Committee, and for the Reading Fall
Street Faire, shall be assigned by the Town Manager as needs and available resources
dictate:

We would be looking for authority to possibly enter into a 5 -year contract with our transportation company. We
are going out to bid this year and we would like to include an alternate bid of a 5 year contract as well as the
standard 3 year contract. We are thinking we might get better rates if we went with a 5 -year deal but are not
certain so we just want to be sure we have the flexibility to pursue that if we do get a better price for a longer

Making Reading Better
Residents and Businesses Working Together
February 8, 2010
Town of Reading Board of Selectmen
Town Hall
16 Lowell Street
Reading, MA 01867
Dear Members of the Board of Selectmen:
Making Reading Better (MRB) stronglyl supports'the leadership and courage that the Board of
Selectmen, Town Manager and Town Planner have shown in the effort to streamline local
regulations. These regulations serve as barriers to the regionalization of services. Reducing
redundancy, over - regulation, and duplication of services will benefit Reading residents and
business owners, and will improve Reading's quality of life and economic advantage.
MRB firmly believes that the streamlining and elimination of many of the Town's outdated and
unnecessary bylaws will make it easier and more cost effective for Town government, businesses
and residents to make significant improvements to the social and economic well -being of
Reading.
In reference to the current discussion regarding the elimination of the Town's Wetlands bylaws,
MRB respectfully submits the following list of questions for the Town's response:
1) What are the legal consequences associated with defending challenges to rulings under the
wetland bylaws over the past ten years? More specifically:
■ How many legal challenges have the Town won? How many have the Town lost?
® For those challenges the Town has won, what were the benefits to the Town and what
was the expenses incurred?
For those challenges lost, what was the expense and what harm was incurred?
2) What benefit does the Town gain by forcing applicants appealing rulings under the Town
wetland bylaws to endure the strain and expense of presenting their case all the way up to the
state Superior Court when the Department of Environmental Protection appeals process can
occur more simply and efficiently at a regional DEP office?
3) Why does Town charge an additional four times the fees required by the state for wetland -
related project permits? (close to $1/4 million in excess fees have been collected over the last 10
years, not counting additional money applicants pay for lawyers, surveyors and `experts').
4) Is it true that the legally binding rules and regulations that support the Town wetland bylaws
are drafted and adopted by the volunteer -based Conservation Commission without the regular
oversight, review or approval by elected representatives of the residents of Reading?
5) It is further true that residents have no recourse to prevent the adoption of whatever rules and
regulations the Conservation Commission sees fit to implement? That is to say, while public
hearings for the adoption of rules and regulations are required, the Conservation Commission has
no obligation to vet concerns raised by residents or businesses at those hearings and there is no
check or balance on the exercise of their rulemaking authority?
6) What are the specific benefits to Reading provided by the additional 25/35 foot buffer zone (to
Conservation and wetlands, above the buffer required by the Commonwealth) required under
Reading's bylaws?
7) Given that West Nile, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and Lyme Disease are significant
public health concerns, can the Town provide an assurance that the additional buffer zone
requirements specified in the bylaws do not increase the potential for unhealthy mosquito and
tick habitat being driven closer to private property such as residences or public property such as
schools and parks? What are the environmental considerations alleged to outweigh the public
health benefits of preventing these deadly diseases?
8) If Massachusetts Public Health laws are sufficient to protect Reading residents, then isn't it
highly likely that the Massachusetts Environmental Protection laws are as well?
9) Massachusetts has among the strictest wetland protection laws in the nation, yet Reading has
added pages of bylaws and an additional 48 pages of regulations on top of those. Please specify
and quantify the direct benefits of these bylaws and regulations to the residents of Reading.
10) Other towns, such as Salisbury - which happens to be on the ocean- have eliminated their
local wetland bylaws, can you describe the specific harm that has come to that or similar
communities as a result of reversion to the Commonwealth's environmental regulations?
11) Why does the removal of a tree that has fallen on a structure require a permit? What is the
benefit to the Town of regulating this activity?

MRB feels the answers to these questions are an important part of the public dialogue that will
help shed light on the value, or lack thereof, that the Reading wetland bylaws deliver to the
Town.

Dear Members of the Board of Selectmen:
Making Reading Better respectfully requests clarification of several points that were made by the
Chairman of the Conservation Commission during the February 8 Board of Selectmen's meeting:
1) Chairman Hecht suggested that Reading's wetland bylaws allow expedited permitting for "minor
projects and that without the bylaws, applicants for minor projects would require a frill application to the
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection ".
This seems to conflict with the notion that local bylaws camzot supersede state laws. We understand that
local bylaws can only be more restrictive than the state's, not less restrictive. Since the Town can only
grant permission for a project if it first complies with the state laws, eliminating the bylaws should in
fact make the application process easier.
2) In addition, Chairman Hecht stated that the bylaws are intentionally used to communicate to
applicants "we would like to have no work done near the wetlands." It was suggested that the
application of local fees under the bylaws were intended to be somewhat punitive to further discourage
property improvements.
We request a formal statement of the Town's mandate to the Conservation Commission and the official
Town position on whether it is the Conservations Commission's mission to "prevent" work regardless of
compliance with the law or project benefits to the property owner and community. We would like
clarification of the comment that fees are designed to discourage appropriate development in an attempt
to maintain the wetlands beyond the state mandated requirements.
3) Chairman Hecht further asserted that, should the Town Bylaws be eliminated, the cost of
Conservation would ,be borne by the general budget of the community .rather than the individual
applicants seeking to conduct legally permissible projects. Throughout the Chairman's presentation, he
mentioned that the wetlands benefit the entire community, not just bordering -property owners.
Consequently, it seems appropriate that the cost associated with maintaining that wetland be born by the
entire community rather than individual property owners — particularly since the Town is using
wetlands, including private property, to manage storm run off and rain water collection.
In that light, bylaw related wetland fees appear to serve as a hidden tax on a small portion of the
community. If the benefits are community -wide, would the Town consider providing private property
owners bordering wetlands with some form of compensation for providing this important service to the
community? What is the Town's position on the question of who should pay for the maintenance and
management of the wetlands?
4) The Chairman also noted that the Town would save "zero" work by eliminating the local wetland
bylaws, in his estimation. Currently, there is one permitting process with two very complex, detailed sets
of rules that must be applied to each applicant. It stands to reason that elimination of local bylaws and
regulations will result in reduced administrative and regulatory burden during'the application, review
and approval processes. We would like clarification on exactly how the removal of half the current
complex regulations can create the same level of work.
5) If the Conservation Commission handled a total of 59 cases in 2010, and 30 of those were minor
projects requests (which the Chairman described figuratively as taking a `.`minute and a half' to for the
administrator to conclude) then how much time was spend on each of the other 29 cases and why did
these cases demand so much time? Simple math suggests nearly 70 hours of administration for each
non - minor, application, excluding time off and separate from additional time spend on hearings and work
performed by the volunteers of the Commission, is this estimate accurate?
6) The Chairman sited the old Getty Station as ongoing work for the Conservation Department that does
not appear on the current caseload. How many similar projects are there in Town, and how much time
and resources do these projects require?
We have the utmost respect and appreciation for the Conservation Commission's efforts on behalf of
residents and businesses in Reading. Their dedication and passion for their cause appears unrivaled by
any group other than the schools. Our questions are meant to stimulate public dialogue and shed light on
the specific value Reading wetland bylaws deliver to the Town. It is important to determine if this use of
2/15/2011 3
Page 3 of 3
resources and fiends outweighs the other opportunities in the Town given the current budget
environment.
Allowing the Conservation Commission to focus their efforts on mandated actions and avoiding the
distraction of smaller issues will help them provide maximum benefit to the Town, in balance with the
need to continue intelligent growth to expand our tax base. It is our hope this debate will illuminate the
proper course of action regarding a warrant to call for the elimination of the Town's wetland bylaws.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention and response.
Sincerely,
David Mancuso
