To recognize your leadership and that of all the other cities and towns which passed this same resolution, Mayor Tom Menino is hosting a press.event on Thursday, May 5, at 11:30am at Boston City Hall in the Eagle Room. At the event, Mayor Menino will make a statement heralding the cities' and towns' support, describing the city of Boston's longtime championing of this issue, and urging the Legislature to take quick action to pass the Updated Bottle Bill. We would love to have you join this event and help demonstrate the statewide support for the Updated Bottle Bill (H890/S1650, sponsored by Rep. Alice Wolf and Sen. Cynthia Creem). As of this writing, 178 cities and towns (so, more than half of the total 351 in our state) have passed the resolution, and we think that sends a strong message to the Legislature that its passage is overdue. As you well know, updating the Bottle Bill is a win/win for cities and towns - it would reduce litter in our streets and parks and open spaces, and save money in trash disposal. We need your active help in getting this bill through the Legislature. We hope to see you on May 5. For more information, or to RSVP, please contact me at Janet DomenitzgMASSPIRG.orR. Thanks-so much.

The removal has nothing to do with a lack of need for the project, handicap students that are not being served, nor a financial reason that is not right for the town. Formulas and regulations are prohibiting the town from doing what is required and necessary for the building and learning environment. Surely there must be a way to remedy this errant situation? Although I cannot profess to be aware of the physical condition of other elementary schools in town, I can say with certainty that members of my precinct feel as. though Killam is treated as the "stepchild" elementary school in our district. I acknowledge and am thankful for a new roof to cure the lealc problem and a driveway to cure the flood problem however, there are some important school environment issues that seem to be consistently traded in favor of other schools and other projects. It seems to me that its about time the town tackle any and all issues that are prohibiting required improvements to this elementary school building and not allowing the facility to be managed in the way it needs to be in order to serve it's large student population. Thank you for your continued interest and support in this important initiative. If I may be of further assistance on this matter please let me know.

The first workshop will be on Wednesday, April 27 from 7:00 to 8:00 PM at the North Shore Community College in Lynn (Room LT 105 of the MBTA Garage Building). The second workshops will be on Monday, May 2 from 8:00 to 9:00 PM in Framingham Town Hall. The Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is in the process of updating its Memorandum of Understanding. The MOU establishes the membership of the MPO and guides some aspects of how the federally required transportation planning process is conducted in the MPO area, which consists of 101 cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts. Due to public interest in the MOU, the MPO is hosting public workshops to gather input from members of the public regarding issues associated with the structure and operation of the MPO. A key area of interest for the public and the MPO has been MPO membership. Under current rules, the six elected municipal members must be three cities and three towns. The proposed MOU would discontinue. the city/town distinction in order to encourage more municipalities to seek MPO membership.

Promote. Protect. The Honorable Brian S. Dempsey, Chair House Committee on Ways and Means State House Room 243 Boston, MA 02133 April 20, 2011 Dear Chairman Dempsey: As leaders of local boards of health throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we call on you to ensure that the final FYI 2 budget does not include. language that will undermine the ability of local boards of health to regulate products that are harmful to the public's health. , As the House begins debate on the FY12 budget next week, you will be asked to consider whether to allow a vote on amendment number 415, filed by Representative. Michlewitz. We believe that this amendment compromises the authority of local public health departments, represents a step backward in effort to reduce environmental tobacco smoke exposure in the Commonwealth and sends the Wrong message to the public about the acceptability and safety of cigars and hookah (Turkish water pipes). Tobacco use continues to be the leading cause of preventable death and disease in Massachusetts.' Tobacco-related illnesses kill approximately 7,800 Massachusetts residents each year and cost the Commonwealth about $6 billion each year in excess health care costs and lost productivity.z In recognition of the devastating effects of tobacco use, the state legislature passed the Smoke-Free Workplace Law in 2004. This law had the effect of banning i Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Health of Massachusetts, 2010. Available at: http://www.mass.goy/Eeohhs2/--docsldph/"`commisgioner/""-health mass.pdf. 2 Id. . 0 smoking in most workplaces in the Commonwealth, resulting in 577 fewer heart attack deaths annually than expected in just five years .3 Since the workplace smoking ban passed, local boards of health have worked to enforce this law and to enact local regulations that provide further protection to workers who are not adequately protected by the state law. As many as 105 Massachusetts communities, including many of the undersigned, have enacted board of health regulations that further restrict use of tobacco products in workplaces.4 These regulations include prohibitions on smoking in nursing homes, private clubs and outdoor areas adjacent to outdoor workplaces such as construction sites and loading docks. In almost 50 communities, local boards of health have passed regulations to ban or restrict operation of smoking bars, including cigar bars. In Boston, which has ten licensed smoking bars, the board of health passed regulations in December 2008 which prohibit new smoking bars from opening and provides a ten-year grace period for existing businesses to close. Cigar bar restrictions have passed in recognition of the fact that cigar smoke is no less harmful than cigarette smoke and that one large cigar contains as much tobacco as a pack of cigarettes and creates a profusion of second hand smoke.s Allowing smoking bars to continue to operate would undermine the ability of local boards of health to protect their residents and would give the misimpression that cigars are somehow safer than cigarettes. We ask that you consider the 83 percent of Massachusetts residents surveyed in 2008 who indicated support for the smoking ban and 74 percent who said that they "strongly support" restrictions on smoking.6 We must remain faithful to the spirit of the 2004 smoke-free workplace law to ensure that we do not reverse course on progress we have made towards making Massachusetts a healthier place to live and work. We ask that you work to preserve our ability to protect the residents of our cities and towns from the public health threat posed by smoking bars by removing this language from the final conference report.

The project will consist of demolition of the existing building, then new construction of 1st floor commercial/retail space and 53 residential units on the 3 upper floors of the building. An underground garage will accommodate 78 parking spaces. The garage and 1St floor levels will be constructed of steel beams and columns, supporting concrete slabs. The 2nd through 4th floor levels will be pre-manufactured wood structures known as modular construction The project anticipates a start time in June 2011. Full plans and documents will be filed with the appropriate local building authorities prior to the commencement of any. construction. All plans and documents will be sensitive to all conditions required by the local municipalities and other related agencies to complete the project. Appropriate permits will be obtained for hazardous material abatement (if required), demolition, construction, and any work that will involve temporary usage or disruption to the existing streets and sidewalks. When necessary, police and fire details will be employed. It is clearly the intent of the construction management team to minimize activities or disruption to the normal vehicular and pedestrian traffic patterns during the construction phase of this project. Prior to contractors'.mobilization on site, an existing conditions survey will be conducted by the owner of neighboring/abutting facilities. Working Hours: Working hours for the project will be 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Friday and 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturdays as approved by Reading ISD and DPW. Special Permits will be requested if required for project work on Sundays and Holidays. These hours are inclusive of concrete activities. Noise and Dust Control: Noise and Dust Control will be accomplished be means of an 8' high temporary pounded post construction fence with a woven fabric liner to reduce the. transmission of dust and noise emanating from the on-site construction activities. Heavy equipment associated with the project will utilize low sulfur diesel to the extent practical. Also to the extent practical, diesel fueled equipment will not idle for longer periods than .necessary to accomplish the onsite activities. All project dumpsters will be located within the fenced and secured project site limits and will be emptied as required to avoid overload. There will be ample space made available to store job boxes and tools on site for the duration of the project. Construction Traffic and Parking: . During construction, project related delivery trucks, including trailers carrying the modular boxes, will be routed from Route 128 to Route 28/Main St. to Washington St., to High St. to Chute St. and then turned onto Brande Ct. A site fence is proposed to extend to the dividing line between the 2nd and 3rd rows of parking spaces (as referenced from the rear of the building) in the Brande Ct. parking lot. To accommodate the modular box delivery and associated crane operation, this area will need to be expanded to the rear edge of the 3rd row of parking spaces. Oak Tree Construction, LLC * 10 McTernan Street * Cambridge, MA 02139 P: 617.868.5558 * F: 801-991-5002 yi~ r CnR~A.....-._...'.t Two sets of gates will accommodate a straight traffic flow-through for the trucks. Once material is unloaded, trucks will continue along Brande Ct. and turn right onto the east side right-of-way or onto Linden St., make a right onto Haven St, left onto High St., and then a left onto Washington St. which takes them back to Route 28/Main St. 10 reserved parking spaces have been secured through the Reading Police Department for construction personnel. They are located on High St., between Chute St, and Woburn St. Construction personnel will be encouraged to car pool to maximize the use of these reserved spaces. An off-site staging area for modular box storage will be secured. Any additional parking needs will be met at this area and constructional personnel will be shuttled between this site and the project. Street Cleaning: During construction, the contractor will sweep the streets periodically. Mobilization: The contractor will initiate a mobilization phase in which the vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow around the construction site is maintained throughout the entire project. A chain link construction . fence and gate, with screening and appropriate signage, will be installed around the entire project site perimeter to accommodate the different phases of construction. Overhead protection for pedestrian traffic will be provided as required around the project site during crane operations and exterior fagade work. Temporary sidewalk scaffolding will be employed, *as required. The contractor will attempt to minimize the durations of activities that impact any traffic or pedestrian flow around the project site. Temporary electricity will be provided to the site for construction from an existing pole mounted service. Temporary water for the project will be employed for the project from existing services and hydrants as required and permitted by the DPW. Demolition: Prior to the demolition of the existing building, a hazardous material testing firm was engaged to provide a remediation report. This report identified no hazardous materials within the existing . building. This testing and related reports were performed by licensed industrial hygienists. Currently no haz-mat remediation is known to be required. In the event that hazardous material is subsequently discovered during the demolition process, remediation will be performed prior to continuing the building demolition. The remediation subcontractor performing the abatement will employ an onsite LSP during the remediation process. All work will be performed in accordance with all federal, state, and local codes and regulations. All final testing and abatement will be performed by (LSP) subcontractors licensed for such work. Before demolition begins, a thorough rodent control and monitoring program will be initiated. Oak Tree Construction, LLC * 10 McTernan Street * Cambridge, MA 02139 + P: 617.868.5558 * F: 801-991-5002 1 "Dig safe" will be notified prior to any site work or demolition activity. Prior to building or structural demolition, all utility lines will be cut and capped. The existing building will be demolished utilizing hydraulic excavators with grapple assemblies. Demolition will be performed in accordance with all federal state and local regulation as well as OSHA, ANSI and DEP standards. All demolition related materials will be trucked off site on a daily basis or as reasonably practical. Trucks are to be staged on site within the fenced in area on Brande Ct. and will be scheduled to minimize the, impact on heavy commuter timeframes. All materials will be disposed of off site in accordance with state and local regulations. Visible debris and dust is to be controlled through wetting as required. HEPA filters shall be utilized within the existing buildings to ensure air quality standards are maintained during the selective demolition activity. Vibration monitors will also be employed, as required, to ensure vibration levels do not exceed approved thresholds. Sitework and Concrete: Site test pits were dug and borings were drilled during the design phase of the project. Information gained from test pit observation has been used to generate geotechnical reports produced by Geotechnical Consultants Inc. The contractor may need to perform dewatering operations during the installation of the new utilities and foundation elements of the new parking structure within the site footprint. In the event that dewatering is required, a series of small pumps will circulate ground water' through onsite Frac Tanks for filtration prior to removal of excess site water. Testing will be done to determine the level of sediment and chemicals present in the site water. Clean, treated water will then be returned to the storm drain system. Soil retention may be provided by one or more of the following methods: 1) A soil nailing system, whereby 10' rods are drilled through plywood sheathing that is utilized to hold back the soil, is proposed. 2) An alternative method would be to drill and grout soldier piles into ledge that has been .discovered below the surface and fasten wood lagging to the piles. Once the soil retention system is in place, the remaining excavation for the garage level will commence. It is anticipated that the garage level slab will consist of an 18 thick structural concrete mat. Steel columns will be anchored to the foundation mat. Additional columns will support the beams, columns and concrete slabs of the 1s` and 2"d floors. Concrete trucks and truck mounted concrete pumps will be staged onsite within the fenced in area at Brande Court. The team plans to schedule all material deliveries such that inconvenience to the abutters during the concreting operation and the overall project are minimized. Police details will be provided during this operation, as required. Throughout the entire construction period, trucks will be required to drive over a trap rock construction entrance/staging area to remove mud and debris from the vehicles. Wash downs will be confined to one onsite 'designated area on site. Street sweeping will be provided as required. Prior to and during the excavation and installation of the primary foundation systems, site utilities and infrastructure will be installed. These utilities include sewer, storm, gas, water, and electric services. Oak Tree Construction, LLC * 10 McTernan Street * Cambridge, MA 02139 P: 617.868.5558 * F: 801-991-5002 CPnsf nirf.irn, I_LC i Construction Cranes: The design incorporates the use of modular construction whereby structurally framed wood "boxes" are prefabricated offsite and delivered to the project. Cranes. will be required for both the steel erection operation on the garage to the 2nd floor slab, as well as for setting the modular boxes above the 2"d floor slab. Although it will be necessary to periodically relocate the crane, all but 5 days of crane operation will be performed within the fenced in area at Brande Court, The 5 day period of loading and setting modular boxes in front of the building will need to be performed from Haven St. The crane and protection zone will take up approximately 30' from the face of the building and will still permit one lane of traffic to flow. Pedestrian foot traffic will need to be limited to the south side of the street. Police details will be employed, as required, during this phase of the operation. Building: Once demolition is completed, soil retention operation and site work will commence. Trenches for.utility services will be cut and the piping laid. The bulk of these services will need to be connected in Haven St. Coordination with town officials, utility companies and the contractor will be critical to minimize the impact on traffic and pedestrian safety. Police details will be employed, as required, during these operations. Once graded, the garage floor will be prepped and poured. Immediately following garage slab placement will be the forming and placement of foundation walls. Structural steel operations along with 1st and 2"d floor slab placement will ensue. Masonry shafts, creating 2 hour barriers for the elevator and for the stairs leading from the garage level to the 2nd floor slab will be erected. Once the 2nd floor slab has properly cured, the modular boxes will be delivered to the site and set in place. Blocking and fire-stopping will be installed as required between the boxes as they are set in place. Permanent roofing operations will commence immediately after the top floor boxes are set. The boxes will arrive with the residential units pre-fitted with all of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection piping that is internal to the unit. Utility risers will be piped up through the building, within the corridors. All connections to the pre-fitted piping will then be made. After MEP connections are completed, the corridor walls will be acoustically insulated and closed up with gypsum drywall, taped and painted. Flooring installation will follow. Simultaneously, the exterior fapade finishing operations will be in progress. The residential boxes will be sided with cementitious fiber board such as Hardipane► and Hardiplank. The 1st floor will be enclosed with an aluminum storefront system on Haven St. and precast concrete tiles along the remaining three sides. The final operation will be landscaping around the property. Estimated project completion date: Late Spring 2012. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact Jeff Hirsch at 617-388-0370.

Unrestricted funds shall be used for the following purposes: 90% for constructing affordable housing, loan and grant programs 9% for maintaining and improving affordability of existing housing stock 1% for administration of the Affordable Housing Trust Fund b. Restricted funds received into the AHTF for designated purposes from grants, gifts, donations, or the like, shall be allocated at 100% towards the stated purposes. 0-25 2011 AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND - ALLOCATION PLAN Dated April 20, 2011 Overview: An Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) was established through a Home Rule Petition and an act of the legislature authorizing Chapter 140 of the Acts of 2001. Despite several attempts, no funds have been expended out of the AHTF. The AHTF is a dedicated fund to create or preserve affordable housing. This can be through development of new or rehabilitation of existing dwelling units for purchase or for rent by persons of low and moderate income. Funds deposited to the AHTF came from payments received by the Town for things ranging from sub-divisions that were improperly built, to affordable housing units that. could not be preserved and were converted and sold as market units with the difference in price reverting to the Town. In accordance with Chapter 140 of the Act of 2001, this allocation plan is submitted by the Board of Selectmen to Town Meeting for approval at the Annual Town Meeting. Approval of actual expenditures from the fund shall be in accordance with the allocation plan and must be approved by a majority vote of the full combined membership of the Board of Selectmen and the Reading Housing Authority. Allocation Plan: Oaktree Development has requested a $400,000 grant from the. AHTF to subsidize and create 11 affordable housing units in connection with the redevelopment of 30 Haven Street (former Atlantic Supermarket), Reading pursuant to M.G.L. Chapter 40R. The current balance in the AHTF is $458,017.68. This allocation plan further provides that: • 11 units of Affordable Housing as part of a mixed use development of approximately 100,000 s.f. which will have approximately 20,000 s.f. of retail/commercial space on the first floor and 53 units of residential on the upper floors, and 78 underground parking spaces to be used by the residents. An affordable housing restriction must be established under the 40R zoning of a term of at least 30 years and is subject to the approval of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). The expenditure will be structured as a Deferred Payment Loan (DPL) with a Mortgage and a Promissory Note which will be recorded at the Registry of Deeds. A loan agreement, mortgage, and promissory note is recommended to preserve the Town's contribution and insure that the use of the funds is in accordance with the agreed upon terms. Repayment is not required unless there is a default as further defined in the legal documents. • The above noted legal documents will protect the Town's interest in this project by assuring that the money will be used in accordance with the purpose of the AHTF that is, to support affordable housing and, in the event of a default (e.g., selling the property before it's built) then the Town will be protected by these legal documents which will trigger repayment in the event of default. The $400,000 DPL request is based on Oaktree's Project Financials which reflect the need for these funds to fill an existing financing gap. 0 • An independent review has been undertaken by a housing consultant Housing Partners Inc. (HPI) of the project financials and market analysis. HPI's conclusion was that the financial assumptions and market analysis are reasonable. HPI further concluded that as the first project proposed under the provisions of the Downtown Smart Growth Zoning District and the first residential project to be developed in downtown Reading in several 'decades, a public contribution would not be inappropriate. Benefits to the Town of Reading of this first Downtown Smart Growth project include: ♦ Over $650,000 in Additional one time Financial Benefits, and an estimated $200,000 in annually recurring benefits (increased property taxes) to the Town of Reading: o $509,000 - 40R Density Bonus Payments in the amount of $3,000/unit for all 53 dwelling units which totals, $159,000 plus a Lump sum Payment (previously received but currently held in a stabilization fund) under 40R for passing the zoning in the amount of $350,000 o $150,000 -Estimate of Local Permit Fees o $200,000 - Net increased annual property tax revenue associated with an estimated future property value of $18.3 million dollars. Existing annual property taxes are $31,000 (approx.) and future annual property taxes are $231,000 (est.). ♦ Other Benefits of the Project: o 53 units added to the Town of Reading Subsidized Housing Inventory (SHI); o Potential meals tax revenue - one potential commercial user is a restaurant; o Additional off-street parking in downtown (underground parking garage); o Elimination of a vacant, blighted, building in a key downtown location; o Spin off effect of spurring additional redevelopment; o Downtown Revitalization - this project will add an anchor to downtown by providing a hub of activity related to new retail and commercial businesses and more residents to support business and create more foot traffic; o High end sustainable (Energy Star) design of both exterior and interior improvements; o . Improvements to the Grande Court parking lot by, Oaktree as well as streetscape improvements along Haven Street; o' Restored confidence in downtown real estate and support to existing businesses 0 Hechenbleikner, Peter From: Tim Kelley [timothyjkelley@verizon.net] Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 10:46 AM To: James Bonazoli forwarding account; Steve Goldy forwarding account Cc: Reading - Selectmen; rhalynw@verizon.net Subject: Article 24: Affordable Housing Trust Fund Allocation Plan Dear James: I am writing to express my concern with the AHTF Allocation Plan article on the Town Meeting Warrant. Specifically, I am concerned that the Housing Authority was not consulted or informed about the Warrant Article. I found out about the article when I reviewed my Warrant yesterday evening before Town Meeting. The Housing Authority, as an equal voting entity with the Selectmen, needs to be included in the process of establishing whatever Allocation Plan is to be considered. Also, the Housing Authority needs to be included (or at least informed of) negotiations with developers seeking the AHTF funds. We were notified about a joint meeting that was scheduled some months back whose purpose would have been to vote on granting funds to Oaktree. I was unsettled by that, due to the lack of information. The Housing Authority asked for information to be provided and we were told that Oaktree had not then provided the financials. That initial meeting was postponed and not rescheduled. To my knowledge this was the last word the Housing Authority had with regard to Oaktree seeking AHTF funds. My complaint has nothing to do with the merits of Oaktree's proposed development. I have no information either way. My dissatisfaction is with the process. I ask that this matter be indefinitely postponed until a later Town Meeting so that the Housing. Authority may be included in the process of discussing the Allocation Plan. I am speaking as an individual Board Member of the Reading Housing Authority and a Town Meeting Member. I am not speaking on behalf of the RHA. This specific matter has not been discussed by the RHA Board. Thank you for your attention and cooperation. Tim Timothy J.

Ognibene Date: March 30, 2011 Re: $$400,000 Housing Trust Grant Peter: Despite numerous delays to the closing which was previously anticipated to be in December, we finally secured debt financing last Friday and are now ready to formalize our grant request. As a follow-up to our phone conversation from earlier today, I've prepared this memo to address point-by-point the various questions raised by Housing Partners, Inc. 1. What is the project? Our development plans call for demolishing the former Atlantic Supermarket and redeveloping the site into a mixed-use development consisting of 53 residential units, 20,000 square feet of retail space, and a 75-space underground parking garage. 2. What are the sources of funds to develop the project.? The current project pro-forma budget estimates $$18.3 million in total development cost (please see attached, "Budget Overview"), up from the $$18.0 million estimated in October 2010. The project will be capitalized as follows: $ 4.9 trillion 27 % Equity (Developer,/ Partners) $$13.0 million 71 % Debt (Enterprise Bank) $ 0.4 million. 2 % Grant (Town of Reading) $$18.3 million As no additional equity or debt is available to us, the Town's contribution is an essential component to the project's viability. Without it, the project would be unable to proceed. 3. Is the residential component rental, condominium, or both? When we initially put the parcel under agreement, we had intended the project to be for-sale condominiums. Subsequently, the market shifted dramatically in favor of rental units. Today, condominiums are gradually gaining momentum again. We've designed the building with premium finishes with the intention of selling the units as condominiums but will reevaluate where the market is in a year from now. From a pro- forma perspective, we've underwritten the units from both a rental and for-sale condominium perspective. e 4. What is the breakout of building costs and how were they derived? Hard construction costs are estimated to total $12.9 million and were derived by our general contractor / estimating department. Specifically, costs are estimated as follows: Site $ 0.90 million (actual GC estimate) Parking / Foundation $ 2.25 million (estimated @ $30,000/space) Retail $ 2.00 million (estimated @ $100 pso Residential $ 7.75 million (approx $120 psf-modular construction) Total $12.90 million 9. What comes under the category of neighborhood improvements? We've allocated $50,000 toward enhancements to the adjacent municipal parking lot. These expenses are now included in the GC budget. 6. What is the KIVO fee? The operating entity, Oak-RJF 30 Haven LI.,C, has signed a development agreement with KNO LLC. In exchange for the fee, KNO will provide various development services. Z What are the debt Financing terms? We have a $13.0 million construction loan facility with a 24-month maturity; interest only payments; prime plus 1.00% with a 5.00% floor. We have the option to extend into permanent financing for an additional five years; principal and interest payments based on a 25-year amortization; FHLB rate plus 2.75% with a 5.75% floor. We have a written commitment from the Massachusetts Housing Partnership (1VIHP) to provide alternative permanent financing (less principal / better amortization. and lower interest rate). Completion of the project and repayment of all debt has been guaranteed by the three KNO partners, Arthur Klipfel, Gwen Noyes, and Paul Ognibene. Regarding finance-related charges, the bank's commitment fee was $130,000 and commercial mortgage brokerage fees totaled approximately X6200,000. 8. What is the Operating Budget? Please see attached pro-forma operating budget from which the bank performed its underwriting. 9. How validate the rents? Pro-forma rents are based on the bank's appraisal and our own assessment. We believe that the forecasted rents are representative of the market and have backed our convictions by investing nearly $5 million into the project. 10. Will tenants pay their own utilities? Yes, both market-rate and affordable tenants will pay their own electricity and gas bills. Water will be provided by the Landlord.

Siflinger, Chairman msifling@housingpartnersinc.com Eleanor G. White, President ewhite c1 housingpartnersine.com Charles S. lisenberg, Eisenberg Consulting: Af/inte cisenberg@housingpartnersinccom To: Peter Hechenbleikner and Jean Delios Town of Reading From: Charles Eisenberg, Eleanor White and Marvin Siflinger Housing Partners, Inc. Date: April 11, 2011 Subject: READING HOUSING TRUST GRANT Analysis Prepared by Housing Partners, Inc. INTRODUCTION For many years, the Town of Reading has been attempting to implement strategies which would improve the downtown business district. This culminated in the recent establishment of a Smart Growth Overlay District under the provisions of Chapter 40R. While that process was underway, Oaktree Development, LLC of Cambridge, MA optioned the Atlantic Supermarket site at 30 Haven Street in Reading and began the redevelopment process. Oaktree has now requested that the Town provide a $400,000 grant to assist in the redevelopment of this site. It is their contention that without this grant the project is not feasible. The Town, in turn, has asked Housing Partners, Inc. (HPI) to determine if this request is justified. As will become clear, HPI believes that the pro forma assumptions and projections are reasonable, that the developer has proposed a reasonable amount of profit, and that this project represents the type of development envisioned by the Town when it passed the Chapter 40R District. However, we also feel that the Town should benefit if this project is successfully developed and that any financial contribution should be repaid, if possible, to be available to spur other development projects in the future. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 30 Haven Street is a .78 acre parcel of land at the southern end of Haven St., within a block of the Reading MBTA commuter rail station. It currently houses the e Review of Oalctree Development Pro Forma for Reading Site By Housing Partners, Inc. April, 2011 Page 2 vacant Atlantic Supermarket. The parking lot located in the rear is owned by the Town of Reading. Oaktree proposes to demolish the existing structure and build a new, four-story building. An underground parking garage will contain 75 spaces. The first floor will have 20,000 square feet of retail space as well as the residential entrance and common space. Above the first floor will be three residential floors containing almost 60,000 square feet. While the October, 2010 appraisal anticipated fifty-six one and two bedroom rental units, the current plan may be developed either as a rental property or as condominiums. The financial projections provided to HPI by Oaktree were for a rental property. In accordance with the provisions of the Chapter 40R Smart Growth District zoning, eleven of these units (20%) will be affordable to moderate income families. Moderate income is defined as households earning less than 80% of the Boston SMA (Area Median Income as annually established by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development). The building will be steel-frame construction and will be serviced by several elevators. Finishes will be of a high enough quality to accommodate a plan to sell the units as condominiums either upon completion or at some future date. According to the Bonz appraisal report, the 32 one-bedroom. units are planned to be 820 square feet while 24 two-bedroom units will be 1,385 square feet. According to a March 30, 2011 memo from the developers to the Town Manager, they will also allocate $50,000 towards the enhancement of the adjacent municipal parking lot. HOUSING PARTNERS INC. METHODOLOGY. The following report and its conclusions are based upon the information made available to us by the Town and the Developer. This consists primarily of an appraisal prepared in October, 2010 by Bonz and Company, Inc. as well as information provided by Oaktree in a memorandum (which included a set of financial projections) to the Town Manager dated March 30, 2011. HPI has reviewed the appraisal and the memorandum; and has analyzed both to determine their accuracy. Due to the extremely short timeframe available for this analysis, we have not done any project-specific independent research to verify our conclusions, but have based them solely on prior knowledge of the area and our general knowledge and experience. In order to determine whether or not the feasibility of this development is dependent upon the $400,000 grant, we first evaluated the assumptions and Review of Oaktree. Development Pro Forma for Reading Site By Housing Partners, Inc. April, 2011 Page 3 conclusions in four general categories: market; cost, financing and profitability. We'then did some additional financial analysis to verify the projections provided tows, test their impact on feasibility over time and to determine how sensitive the results are to variation from the projections and assumptions provided. ANALYSIS Cost Several months ago Oaktree provided the Town with a set of financial projections. In the previously cited current memorandum.these were recently revised. As currently proposed, the Total Development Cost of the project will be $18,305,312. The acquisition price of $2,647,000 is appropriate and $1,100,000 less than the "as-is" value stated in the Bonz appraisal. A single number ($12,872,417) is provided for the hard costs (which presumably includes a 5% contingency of approximately $642,000). This equals $161/SF (not including the underground parking), which is quite reasonable for a steel frame building. Soft costs of $1,752,395 also appear to be reasonable. They include an appropriate development fee of 689,000, which equals 4% of TDC. In addition, there are Finance Fees and Mortgage Broker fees for Debt and Equity. The Finance Fees are reasonable for the size of the construction loan. Mortgage broker fees are $98,000 for the Debt and $116,000 for Equity. There is no information identifying who received these fees or the services for which they were paid. While more detail would have been useful, the Total Project Cost and major. line items are reasonable for the planned project. Market According to the Developer, the rents and rent-up assumptions used for their projections were based upon the Bonz appraisal as well as their own assessment. Our analysis of the Bonz appraisal found it to be competent, complete and consistent with other market studies and reports. Rent rates, capture rates and absorption estimates were based upon well-prepared disaggregated demographic forecasts and the analysis of realistic comparables. In addition, while the report is six months old, the market has not changed significantly since it was prepared. An examination of the 30 Haven Street development indicates that the Developer's plans are consistent with the Bonz appraisal and competitive within 33 Review of Oaktree Development Pro Forma for Reading Site By Housing Partners, Inc. April, 2011 Page 4 the Primary market area. This applies to rents, rent per square foot, unit size and amenities. The location in downtown Reading is untested for this product and price point, but the anticipated absorption rate as reflected in the lease-up budget takes this fact into account. Based upon our evaluation, the market assumptions used for this project and its financial projections are reasonable at this time. Financing Oaktree has proposed that 30 Haven Street be financed with $4,900,000 of equity, $13,000,000 of construction loan, and a $400,000 grant from the Town. The construction loan can be extended into a permanent loan with a five year term, a 25 year amortization period and a rate that today would be 6.75%. Alternatively, the Developer also has a commitment from the Massachusetts Housing Partnership "...to provide alternative permanent financing (less principal/better amortization and lower interest rate)." From the information available to HPI, there is no clear rationale for the selection of financing source. The debt/equity ratio is normal for the current financial market as is the interest rate. Presumably the permanent financing has not been locked in because either the Developer believes he can get better terms at some time in the future or due to the uncertainty as to whether the units will be rented or sold. Return on Investmen Presuming the cost, market and financing projections are reasonable, the need for the $400,000 grant would be justified either because the Developer cannot raise those funds from other sources or because adding it to the equity contribution will render the projected project return on investment unacceptable to the investor. While we understand that the Developer has stated that the last $400,000 cannot be raised from the lenders or investors, no corroboration has been provided. In addition, while 20% of the units will be affordable, the Developer does not appear to have made a serious effort to acquire the $400,000 from, State or Federal sources who routinely provide grants for such projects. To determine the impact on profitability, HPI ran some financial models testing sensitivity. For assumptions, we used the Oaktree pro forma: $18,300,000 in project cost, $785,353 residential net operating income; $370,800 commercial net operating income; and a five year, $13,000,000 balloon loan with a 25 year amortization period and a 6.75% interest rate. We then ran cash flow models (for a rental project) with a sale at the end of the fifth year of stabilized operations. Review of Oaktree Development Pro Forma for Reading Site By Housing Partners, Inc. April, 2011 Page 5 To determine the sale value, we applied a capitalization rate to the fifth year net operating income (presuming a 2% increase per year) derived by blending the residential and commercial capitalization rates contained in the Bonz report in appropriate proportions, and deducted the outstanding debt. The result was a Return on Equity of 5.85% and an Internal Rate of Return of 30.5%. The ROI is relatively low for a project of this type while the IRR is relatively high. This reflects the fact that most of the value in this pro forma comes from the sale of the property at the end of the fifth year rather than from the interim cash flows. If instead of receiving a $400,000 grant from the Town, the equity contribution were increased by $400,000 (something which it is.important to note that the Developer insists is not possible), the ROI drops to 5.4% and the IRR to 28.35%. It is critical to recognize that these projections are only as good as the assumptions on which they are based and the amount of data available. In this case, the available data was minimal and the estimated sales price, which accounts for so much of the Internal Rate of Return, is the most speculative part of the analysis. Risk This analysis must account for two kinds of risk: timing and market. This analysis is being done based on estimated construction costs, projected rents and absorption periods and estimated operating costs. The construction cost may be higher (or lower) when an actual contract is signed and real-rents and operating costs may be quite different when the project is actually completed. The longer the period of time between the projections and stabilized operation, the greater the uncertainty; and thus the risk. The other risk in this project is the market risk. Particularly as regards the residential units, this is the first project to test the downtown Reading market for units of this type in this price range. All the comparables in the Primary market, area are in more suburban locations. While projects of this type have been successful in similar locations, 30 Haven is something of a first mover. Thus, in a fluid and uncertain environment, the Town of Reading is being asked to assist the developer in managing the overall risk entailed in developing this site. As shown in the conclusion, HPI believes that this is not an unreasonable request, as long as the Town is positioned to receive some benefit.if the project is-as the Town hopes-successful. In that situation, the funding should be able to be revolved to support further priority development in Reading. 5 g~ Review of Oalctree Development Pro Forma for Reading Site By Housing Partners, Inc. April, 2011 Page 6 CONCLUSION Based on the information available, HPI cannot conclude decisively that 30 Haven "needs" a $400,000 grant from the Town of Reading. We note-that none of the information provided indicates that the Developers or investors will receive an unreasonable profit; it is also difficult to conclude at this time that the $400,000 is critical to project feasibility. At this stage in the project process, a 2% difference is well within the range of uncertainty which must be applied to the projections. However, as the first project proposed under the provisions of the Smart Growth Zoning District and the first residential project to be developed in downtown Reading in several decades, a public contribution would not be inappropriate if, as stated above, the Town will also benefit if the project succeeds. We will be working with Town staff to work out repayment terms that will assure that the Town benefits and that funds will be available if possible to support development in future years. HPI therefore recommends that the Town of Reading provide the project with a $400,000subordinate loan. This loan should be the last funding contributed to the project, and its remaining in the project following completion should be contingent upon an independent cost certification by a recognized expert. Further, in the event of default, the loan would be payable without any accrued interest. In the event of project success, however, the loan and accrued interest should be required to be repaid upon sale or refinance if a rental project, or from the proceeds of the last two.condorniniums sold if a for-sale project. Finally, the loan should have a term of ten years, at which time the principal and interest should be due and payable. 6 V TOWN OF READING FY2012.

This budget assumes no use of reserves to offset the costs of running these funds. Adjustments to these budgets will be needed in the event reserves are used.. The new rates will be effective with the September 2011 billing. Storm Water Enterprise Fund The Storm Water division consists of some activities conducted under the general fund budget, and some in the enterprise fund budget. As a whole, they are responsible for the construction, maintenance and repair of all catch basins and drainage systems. As. established by Town Meeting several years ago, this Enterprise Fund conducts storm water activities that were not being done by the general fund. Federal regulations continue to bring new, and expensive costs to the Town. During the past year, more than one FTE engineer has worked on these new regulations, and as was suggested a year ago, one FTE engineer has been transferred from the general fund into this enterprise fund. If this new work was not here, the position would have been eliminated by the general fund budget. Some drainage work previously classified as capital has been moved into the operating budget because it is considered annual general maintenance. The $40 annual charge for a single family home will not need to change to support the FY12 budget. In FYl 1 $20,000 of reserves were used in the. budget, but none are needed for FY12, leaving the reserve fund at approximately $275,000. Two large scale ($4.0 million Saugus River & $2.2 million Aberjona River) capital projects that have been in the Storm Water capital improvements plan since inception now are closer to becoming reality. If these projects commence as scheduled, the $40 charge for single family homes will climb to $80 as the first third of this work begins. This budget does not yet forecast that new federal requirements will add any additional large scale projects.

Supply is responsible for the administrative management, operation, maintenance and security of the drinking water supply in accordance with all Federal, State and local regulations. This division also provides technical support. Distribution is responsible for maintaining and operating the municipal water distribution system in accordance to industry standards and all applicable regulations. In addition, this division oversees water meter installation, repair and meter reading. The budget for Water Operations is up 7.6% for FY12, or an ca increase of $192,147. An interest free loan for work on a water main at Haverhill-Franklin-Wakefield was recently approved by Town Meeting. The timing of this to begin in FY12 was one year sooner than would be ideal from a financial standpoint - but the attractive interest-free, loan from the N1WRA was not guaranteed to be in place one year from now. Advancing this project forward by one year alone explains $228,500 of the 'increase in Operations. MWRA water rates are only projected to be up about 2% for FY12. The, gross water budget is up 4.4%. However there are other factors that affect the water rates, including the use of reserves to offset the costs, as well as the expected volume of usage. In FYl 1, $225,000 in reserves offset costs.' If usage is unchanged and no reserves are used this year that would suggest an 8.9% n~c1 increase in rates: Operations supply Distribution Wages $87,7441 $551,749 -0.6% +1.4% Expenses $316,427 $1,832,585 $187,750 +5.9% -0.0% -1.5% Debt & Capital $2,014,091 $30,000 $275,000 +9.5% +100% +4.6% Other $377,367 0% TOTAL $2,707,885 $1,950,326 $1,014,499 +7.6% +1.6% +1.7% FY11 FY12 Change Gross budget $5,433,291 '$5,672,710 +4.4% Reserves $225,000 $0 TBA Net budget $5,208,291 $5,672,710 +8.9% 03/19/2011 10:49 (TOWN OF READING blelacheur NEXT YEAR BUDGET HISTORICAL COMPARISON PROJECTION: 20122 FY2012 Enterprise Funds ACCOUNTS FOR: PRIOR FY3 PRIOR FY2 LAST FYI WATER ACTUALS ACTUALS ACTUALS Y ACTUALS Y REV BUDGET IPG 3 bgnyrpts FOR PERIOD 99 PROJECTION PCT LEVEL 3 CHANGE 0450 WATER- OPERATIONS 05 EXPENSES 61005519 61005519 519000 519700 MEDICARE RETIREMENT 5,425.00 89,093:00 6,000.00 16,413.00 7,000.00 17,075.00' .00 26,7'24.00 7,000.00 26,724.00 7,500.00 27,927.00 7.1% 4.50 61005529 529433 HAZ WST DI 15,346.18 6,419.00 7,771.40 5,563.00 10,000.00 10,000.00 .0% 61005530 61005530 530105 530110 PRINTING LEGAL COUN .00 15,000.00 361.13 11,159.10 .00 121.50 .00 .00 .00 16,000.00. .00 10,000.00 .0% -37.5% 61005530 530480 PRIMACEY A 5,828.03 5,451.82 5,530.87 5,551.27 5,531.00 5,500.00 -.6% 61005530 530491 SVC WKFLD 5,546.76 5,.567.09 7,601.06 3,957.17 7,140.00 7,000.00 -2.0% 61005531 531000 PRDEV TRN 4,044.25 2,992.00 2,674.00 1,770.00 3,000.00 2,500.00 -16.7% 61005574 574000 HEALTH INS 170,952.00 165,000.00 102,645.48 104,848.18 149,500.00 165,000.00 10.46 61005574 574010 PROP/CASUA .00 31,560.00 20,460.00 23,017.00 44,000.00 45,000.00 2.30 61005574 61005574 574500 574550 DEDUCT/CLM WC INSURNC 1,499.00 63,581.00 .00 20,332.00 .00 15,905.00 .00 15,411.00 .00 30,000..00 .00 36,000.00 .0% 20.0% TOTAL EXPENS ES 376,315.22 271,275.14 186,784.31 186,841.62 298,895.00 316,427.00 5.9% W 07 DEBT SE RVICE 61007530 61007591 530705 591000' DEBTCOSTS DEBT PRINC 63,049.00 756,000.00 1,412.92 1,225,000.00 .00 1,375,000.00 .00 620,000.00 .00 1,375,000.00 .00 1,598,500.00 .0'% 16.3% 61007591 592000 .

The specific functions are: maintenance and repair of 100 miles of sewer mains and 12 pumping stations; respond to customer complaints for sewer backups and drainage problems. The chart below summarizes the FYI 2 proposed budget: Sewer Enterprise Fund Wages $ 267,908(-13.1%) Expenses $4,560,776 +9.0% Debt & Capital $ 319,206 -56% Other $ 259,004 0% Gross budget $5,406,894(4.2%) Reserves $ 0 TBA Net budget $5,406,894(+1.8%) Wage costs in the current year were overstated, as seen by the year-to-date figure well below a 60% expended rate. The MWRA sewer rate is projected to increase by 6.2%, and some annual maintenance costs ($100,000 inflow & infiltration and $40,000 sewer station and manhole repairs) have been moved from capital to the operating budget. Aside from these factors, the remaining expense budget declined slightly from FYI 1. Note that there is very low debt projected for this fund. At present the fund uses MWItA loans, but these are offered for three to five years at a time.

Hechenbleikner, Town Manager From: Jean Delios, Community Services Director/Town Planner Fran Fink, Conservation Administrator George Zambouras, Town Engineer Date: April 25, 2011 Re: Staff Report - Aquifer Protection District (APD) On November 18, 1985, the Town of Reading adopted an Aquifer Protection District (APD) bylaw as part of the Zoning Bylaw, detailed in Section 4.8. The text is attached below. In 1996, the boundaries of the District were modified, based on a detailed engineering study conducted by Weston and Sampson, Engineers. In 2001, the text of the APD bylaw was amended to meet new State drinking water requirements set by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). In 2005, the Selectmen adopted a policy to set design guidelines for administration of the APD bylaw. The policy is also attached. The purpose of the APD is to preserve and protect existing and potential sources of drinking water supply for present, future, and emergency use. Most of the wording M the APD bylaw comes directly from wording mandated state-wide by DEP in their Drinking Water Supply regulations, 310 CMR 22.00. The Administrative Consent Order issued by DEP to the Town repeats the mandate to the Town to protect the aquifer in accordance with 310 CMR 22.00. Because most of the APD overlies residential zoning districts, many of the prohibitions and limits listed in Section 4.8.6 of the Zoning Bylaw are not particularly problematic. The most common issue created by the APD for residential lots is the limit set on the percentage of a lot that can be covered with impervious cover. Specifically, Section 4.8.6.1 of the bylaw includes the following limits on permitted uses: 4.8.6.1.9. impervious cover on property up to 15%; 4.8.6. 1.10. impervious cover up to 20% if a system for artificial recharge of precipitation is provided that will not result in the degradation of groundwater quality. Recharge plans shall comply with the DEP Stormwater Guidelines and shall be submitted to the Town Engineer or the applicable Board, Committee or Commission for review and approval. The limit set by the APD bylaw differs slightly from the standard set by DEP in 310 CMR 22.21(2)(B)7, which prohibits: Land uses, that result in the rendering impervious, of more than 15% or 2500 square feet of any lot or parcel, whichever is greater, unless a system for artificial recharge of precipitation is provided that will not result in the degradation of groundwater quality. Most applicants are able to meet the APD standards by adding recharge systems, limiting the size of additions, and/or removing unnecessary pre-existing impervious cover such as a patio or part of an over-sized driveway. Since the APD bylaw was amended in 2001, problems have occasionally arisen with regard to proposed additions to residential properties that are already at or above the 20% limit. Other than the Zoning Bylaw section on nonconforming uses, the Zoning Bylaw is silent on existing homes built before the APD bylaw. The nonconforming use section of the Zoning Bylaw does not state specific requirements for nonconforming APD cases. The 2005 BOS policy was adopted to help clarify such situations, and also to set design standards for infiltration systems. The policy asks owners of nonconforming lots to consider removing existing impervious cover to offset proposed impervious cover, as well as to add infiltration systems to offset the excess cover above 15%. Thus, the policy tries to result in a plan that will improve the existing nonconforming situation, if not meet the full standard. In many cases, owners are able to meet the policy, but in a small number of cases the lot is already too extensively developed or too small to meet the policy. As with any Zoning Bylaw limit, the owner may appeal a denial to the Board of Appeals and seek a variance. Several non-residential projects have also been reviewed under the APD standards. • The 8-unit condominium at Sumner Cheney place was permitted as a 40B development. The design includes infiltration systems and pervious pavement to minimize impacts on the Aquifer. The ZBA granted a waiver of the cover limit, which is within their authority when issuing 40B permits. • Sailor Tom's Way subdivision is the only subdivision proposed in the APD recently. The subdivision road and sidewalks were included as part of the calculation of impervious area, along with proposed driveways and houses. Even with a reduction in roadway width and sidewalk area from CPDC, most of the allowable cover was taken by the roadway, leaving relatively small houses on the three lots. The developer was encouraged to consider a 40B or Planned Residential Development alternative that would have required less paving for roads and parking, but he did not want to pursue these options. ® The commercial site at 1349 Main far exceeded the cover limit before it was redeveloped. Infiltration systems were added, and redevelopment was allowed with essentially the same cover as before. ® The daycare center across from Wingate added pavement without first seeking permits and was ordered to remove the excess. The owner was not willing to install an infiltration system to mitigate the excess cover. ® Wood End School was designed and built to comply with the 20% limit, including infiltration systems on site. The 20% ceiling set by the APD bylaw may be a carry-over from the previous limit in the bylaw before the 2001 amendments were made. It appears that the Town would have the alternative of adopting the DEP standard as worded, and eliminating the 20% limit set by Reading, or increasing the maximum percentage allowed. It would be advisable for specific design standards similar to those in the 2005 BOS policy to be adopted as a formal part of the Zoning Bylaw, or else as regulations by the CPDC for administration of the Zoning Bylaw. The authority of the Board of Selectmen in the present arrangement is somewhat unclear. The normal 15% and 20% standards and infiltration system design standards could be added to the APD section of the Zoning Bylaw to clarify the restriction. The question about sites with pre-existing nonconforming coverage might be further addressed in the nonconforming use section of the Zoning Bylaw. Attachments UO ZONING BYLAW SECTION 4.8. - AQUIFER PROTECTION DISTRICT 4.8.1.

The bylaw is silent on the design guidelines for such systems, and the exact situation in which a system must be installed. These design guidelines provide details to assist property owners, Town staff, and designers in implementing these required infiltration systems. 4.16.1 - New Construction Impervious area allowed by right 15 percent Additional impervious area allowed if infiltration is provided 5 percent Total impervious area allowed 20 percent Example: A homeowner wants to build a house (or an addition if the existing house has less than 15 percent impervious cover) that would result in 18 percent impervious cover. A building permit would be issued if an infiltration system were provided that infiltrated an impervious area equivalent to 3 percent of the total lot area. Any impervious area in excess of 20 percent requires a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. 4.16.2 - Pre-Existing Non-Conforming lots having more than 15% and less than 20% impervious cover. Any proposed addition to impervious area that does not exceed 20 percent requires full compliance with the aquifer protection district requirements. That means that any impervious area between 15 and 20 percent must be infiltrated, including existing impervious area. Example: A homeowner wants to put an addition on a house that would increase the impervious cover from 17 percent to 19 percent. A building permit would be issued if an infiltration system were provided that infiltrated an impervious area equivalent to 4 percent of the total lot area. Any proposed impervious area in excess of 20 percent requires a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. 4.16.3 - Pre-Existing Non-Conforming Structures in Excess of 20% impervious cover The Building Inspector may permit additions to pre-existing non-conforming structures as long as the total impervious area is not increased and an infiltration system is provided to improve existing conditions. 8 The goal of providing an infiltration system is to bring the lot into compliance with the aquifer protection district requirements if possible. In designing an infiltration system, the engineer should determine the feasibility of providing full infiltration (i.e., reducing the effective impervious area to 15 percent) given the site constraints such as lot size, depth to groundwater, and suitability of soils. The adequacy of the infiltration system will be reviewed on a case by case basis. If full infiltration is not proposed, the engineer shall submit justification for a reduced level of infiltration in the application to the Town. Example: A homeowner wants to put on an addition where the existing impervious cover is 22 percent. By removing an existing garage and a portion of the driveway, they are able to maintain the total impervious cover at 22 percent. A building permit would be issued for this lot if an infiltration system were provided that improves the existing condition (with the goal being to reduce the effective impervious area to 15 percent, i.e., infiltrate an impervious area equivalent to 7 percent of the lot area). Any increase in impervious area over existing conditions requires a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. 4.16.4 - Infiltration System Design Please note: Section 4.8.3 of the Zoning By-law states that impervious surfaces shall include all roofs, driveways, parking areas, roadways and walkways, regardless of the proposed surface material. This means that replacing a paved driveway with gravel or crushed stone does not reduce the calculated impervious area. Decks that are constructed with open joints between the. floorboards, and are not impervious underneath do not have to be included in the impervious calculation. The following are the Town of Reading guidelines for the design of infiltration systems. 1. It is preferable to infiltrate roof runoff wherever possible. 2. If other impervious areas (such as driveways) are proposed to be infiltrated, some type of pre-treatment device should be used (e.g., deep sump catch basin). 3. A licensed soil evaluator must conduct soil tests and a report from the evaluator must be submitted with the design. The soil tests must show the seasonal high groundwater table, depth to bedrock, soil texture, and the percolation rate of the soil. The Town reserves the right to observe the soil tests and must be notified at least 48 hours in advance of the test. 4. Infiltration systems should maintain at least a two-foot separation between the bottom of the system and seasonal high groundwater or bedrock. 5. Systems should be designed using TR-55 or TR-20 and should be sized to infiltrate at least a 2-year, 24 Hour Type III rainfall event (3.1 inches). Other methods may be acceptable if approved by the Town Engineer. An overflow mechanism should be provided to release larger storm flows. 6. The infiltration rate of the soil should be taken into consideration in the design to minimize the size-of the system. Three copies of the design report must be submitted to the Building Inspector for review and approval prior to the issuance of a Building Permit.

Reading mail carriers will be looking for your donations, and then they will deliver to the Reading Food Pantry located at the United Methodist Church in Reading center. The pantry is sponsored by the Reading Clergy Association. Many volunteers from the community are needed from 12 noon to 5 pm for unloading trucks, sorting, shelving, and boxing the generous contributions from the residents of our community. Even an hour of your time during those hours is welcome. Lunch, snacks, and drinks.will be available. Our shelves are nearly empty, and we need your help to fill them up. The Reading Food Pantry has almost 9.0 Reading households registered. Through the holidays many organizations, as well as individual families, churches; and ,businesses have been very generous with wonderful grocery collections, however, most of those supplies are gone. Even the "Easter Bunny" with the helping hands of "Wingate at Reading" left 30 Easter Baskets for pantry families. A CCD class from St. Agnes filled a number of Birthday bags that are available for families with children to help celebrate those very special days. In order for you to know what to put in your "doorstep" bag, the following is a list of our current needs: non- sweetened cereal (hot and cold), crackers, canned fruit, rice, boxed potatoes, hash, stew, chili, juice, juice boxes, jelly, peanut butter, canned pasta, toilet paper, paper towels, facial tissues, canned fish, canned meat, tomato sauce, diced and stewed tomatoes, gelatin desserts and pudding, pasta sauce, dish and laundry detergent, sugar, coffee, tea, canned vegetables, evaporated and dry milk,. We gladly accept any non-perishable food items. Please.pay attention to the expiration dates. Donations can be left at Old South United Methodist Church Monday - Friday 9:30 pm - 2 pm. If you enter the front door and check with the church office, you will be directed to the kitchen where your gifts can be left on the counter. Also, the pantry is open Monday evening from 7-8 PM. Donations could be delivered from 6:45 to 8:15.PM at the back door off the parking lot. If neither of these options are convenient, call the pantry (781-944-8486), and we will respond as soon as we can. Thank you for helping to make a difference.
