Please be advised that all work at this site must cease and desist immediately. You are hereby requested to attend the April 14, 1999 meeting of the Salem Redevelopment Authority at One Salem Green at 6:00 p.m. to discuss this violation issue.

Mr. Baldini made a motion to approve the minutes as presented. Mr. Connelly seconded the motion, all were in favor, motion so carried. DISCUSSION/NEW BUSINESS Essex House Loan Amendment Ms. Cassidy informed the Board that a letter(enclosed in memo package) was received by Attorney Kenneth Lindauer to extend the payment schedule of the Essex House Loan. She continued that this $100,000 loan was granted in 1988. The loan was granted for a five (5) year term with a twenty (20) year amortization schedule. The loan matured in 199'). The SRA extended the loan maturity date twice, once in 1995 and again in 1998. At this time Attorney Lindauer addressed the Board. He stated that the $100,000 loan was secured by a 3 rd mortgage on the developer's Lynde Street property. Approximately one and one-half years ago, the loan assumed a security position as the 2 nd Mortgage on this property through a subordination process. He continued that regular monthly payments have been made on this loan. He claimed that he thought this loan would be paid in this fashion until the balance was paid. There is now 9 V2 - 10 years left to payoff this loan in full. Attorney Lindauer requested that the Board amend the terms of this loan by extended its payment schedule at the same rate of 6% (approximate monthly payments of$716) until the loan (approximately $63,200) is paid in full. I Mr. Baldini made a motion to extend the Essex House loan terms and the amend the Note to reflect that the maturity date of the loan will be set at the time that the now regular monthly payments pay off the loan in full. He further motioned that the Executive Director be authorized any and all documents to execute this amendment. Mr. Connelly seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken, all were in favor, motion so carried. DeLeo's Pizza—Norman Street—Violation Discussio Attorney James Murray, representing Patrick and Anthony DeLeo, appeared before the Board to resolve the violation notice issued to the DeLeos' in regard to the removal of landscape material and trees at the Norman Street location. Attorney Murray explained to the Board that the DeLeos purchased this property in December of 1998 and did not realize that the parcel was located in an urban renewal area. At this time David Jaquith, architect for the owners, addressed the Board stating that because of the floor plan of the buildings, there are some visibility issues that he has been hired to address which will include a new landscape plan for the site. Patrick and Anthony DeLeo apologized to the Board for their error and stated they were willing to work with the Board to rectify this situation. Ms. Vinson commented that the owners should take into consideration that this property abuts one of the City's local historic districts. The Board agreed to allow the DeLeos to submit a plan for fagade changes and landscaping to the DRB for review. Personal Wireless Service Antenna—Eastern Bank—Essex Street Ms. Cassidy informed the Board that a representative of Sprint PCS has requested approval to erect an antenna on the rooftop of the Eastern Bank on Essex Street. She continued that the City requires a special permit be issued by the Planning Board. However, this building is in an SRA district. Since the Planning Board review is so thorough, Ms. Cassidy asked if the SRA would defer their review process. Mr. Baldini made a motion to acknowledge this wireless service request and have it be sent to the Planning Board for review and approval in lieu of DRB/SRA review. He continued that the Planning Board be informed that their review should take into consideration the most appropriate placement of the equipment so as not to negatively impact the Urban Renewal Area. Mr. Connelly seconded the motion, all were in favor,motion so carried. DRB Recommendations Cobblestones—26 Front Street—Sign Application An application was presented to the DRB to erect a 12" x 12", right angle sign from an existing bracket.

Peabody Essex Museum —Washington Square Wall— Sign Applicatio Fred Johnson recused himself from discussion and vote of this agenda item. It was reported that the Salem Historic Commission voted to approve the sign package for the Peabody Essex Museum House tours as it was approved by the DRB. The proposal for signage along the Washington Square wall did not receive final approval by the DRB. The Historic Commission did approve a new design for the wall, consisting of repeating the same signs that were presented for in front of the historic houses with the addition of directional arrows. This design was shown to the DRB for final approval. Mr. Goff approved the application as presented. Mr. Giard seconded the motion, all were in favor, motion so carried.

Mr. Hurrell explained that the business opened over the July 4 holiday and he erected the signs without design review approval. He stated he would remove or alter them as the Board saw fit. Mr. Goff suggested that the bracket be upgraded to a decorative bracket and the guide wires be removed. Mr. Hurrell agreed to these conditions and stated that this would be done by the end of the year. Mr. Goff made a motion to approve the application as presented with the condition that the right angle sign bracket be upgraded to a decorative bracket and the guide wires be removed. Mr. Giard seconded the motion, all were in favor, motion so carried. DeLeo's/White Hen Pantry—Norman Street—Landscaviniz and Facade Renovations David Jaquith, architect,presented a new site plan and fa�ade renovations to this building. Much discussion ensued regarding traffic flow and traffic safety. Mr. Goff felt that a better sense of safety needs to be created and the parking area needs to be better defined. He suggested restriping, the use of bollards, benches and the removal of the concrete barriers and replacing them with more landscaping elements. Mr. Jaquith discussed with the Board the need to identify this building and some thought has been given to calling the site Chestnut Square and constructing a free standing sign with a tenant directory. Mr. Jaquith thanked the Board for their comments, and stated he will return with revised drawings. There being no ftirther business, the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Ellen S.

Design Review Board Minutes September 24, 1999 A meeting of the Design Review Board was held on September 24, 1999 in the second floor conference room at One Salem Green at 8:30 a.m. Those in attendance were Don Giard, John Goff, and Chris Greene. Aama— Salem MarketWace—Caf6 Permit Ms. Jennifer Apazidis appeared before the DRB with an application to place black iron furniture in front of her market stall. She distributed photographs of the proposed furniture. There will be three to four tables with two chairs to each table. Mr. Goff asked what the material will be on the surface of the table. Ms. Apazidis responded that the table surface will be glass. Mr. Greene asked how far the tables would be from the pedestrian walkway. Ms. Apazidis responded that her market stall is set back from the others, so even if the tables occupy up to eight feet in front of the stall, pedestrian access will not be impeded. Mr. Greene made a motion to approve the application with the conditions that there be no more than four tables with two chairs at each table; the black metal tables be similar to those shown to the Board, and the exact detail of the furniture be reviewed for approval before purchase; and the tables and chairs be placed within a five foot buffer directly adjacent to the building. . Mr. Goff seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion so carried. Deacon Giles— Salem Marketplace—Caf6 Permit Ms. Apazidis explained to the Board that there is existing seating in the rear of the building. Currently there is a mix of wood, plastic and metal tables and chairs. She asked that the Board allow what is existing and a new plan will be presented to the Board for next year. The Board agreed to allow the outside seating for the remainder of this season. They informed the applicant that what is existing would most likely not be allowed next season, especially the white plastic/resin chairs. They stated black and green are better color choices. Spencers Halloween Outlet—Derby & Lafayette Streets—Sign Permi Ms. Dubinsky informed the Board that the signs, as shown in the photographs, were erected without a permit and the SRA sent the store a violation letter instructing the manager to immediately remove the signs and apply for a permit and also to discontinue the use of flashing/strobe lighting in the storefront. Ms. Mary Perley, manager, appeared before the Board with an application for three signs to remain over the doorway and over the first set of windows on the Lafayette and Derby Street sides of the building. The signs are 8' x 4'. Mr. Greene made a motion that the signs presented were unacceptable and the application be denied. Mr. Goff seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion so carried. DeLeo's—28 Norman Street—Building & Site Renovations David Jaquith, architect, presented revised plans for the improvements at Norman Street. He reviewed the window changes, DeLeo's entrance change, pediment additions and new sign locations. Roof repairs will also be undertaken. He explained that he concrete curb will be removed at the inside comer and replaced with speed bumps. He stated that landscape plans include replacing the three trees on the Crombie Street fagade and planting of creeping junipers. Mr. Jaquith also proposed the installation of a free standing directory sign for the site. Mr. Goff pointed out that the last meeting focussed on traffic circulation concerns. MT. Jaquith replied that in response to that concern,the concrete curb cut will be taken out and speed bump fingers will be constructed. Mr. Goff responded that the comer space (#10)be removed. Mr. DeLeo responded that parking spaces are desperately needed and he would not be willing to remove any spaces. Mr. Goff suggested that the handicap space be moved to space #10, since its use would be less, and would enable cars to pass more freely around the comer of the building. He also requested that bollards be added in front of the two brick columns. Mr. Jaquith and Mr. DeLeo agreed to this change.

Attorney George Atkins presented plans to the Board for an assisted living development. He requested that the Board grant approval for the demolition of the buildings outlined on the plans submitted. (Please note: the Salem Evening News building on the comer of Washington and Front Streets is not being demolished.) He requested that once demolition approval has been received,the plans be sent to the DRB for review. He explained that this project has received its necessary Board of Appeal approvals and is currently undergoing site plan review through the Planning Board and Board of Health review. He continued that the new building will have six stories with 12,000 square feet of retail space on the first floor. There will be forty (40)parking spaces underneath the building that will be accessed on Front Street. The loading area will be located on New Derby Street and the HVAC system will be located on top of the roof and screened appropriately as will the transformer pad on the street level. Twenty of the eighty rooms will be exclusively for Alzheimer's residents. The entire project represents a$12 million investment in downtown Salem. Attorney Atkins continued his presentation by explaining the history and existing conditions of the building. The building was built in 1874 and has had a variety of uses and its exterior has been changed substantially through the years. The building is in severe structural deterioration caused by a fire to a portion of the building and cracks in the foundation. The Salem Evening News building on the comer of Washington Street and Front Street will be retained and the Salem Evening News will remain a tenant of the two-story, 8,000 square foot structure. Mr. Connelly asked what condition this structure is in. Attorney Atkins replied that this building is structurally sound and has an operable sprinkler system. At this time, Attorney Atkins introduced Albert Crepeau from EGA, architect for the project. Mr. Crepeau reviewed each elevation of the new building,pointing out major design elements such as the step-up building levels so the upper floor of the building cannot be seen at the pedestrian level. He also called attention to the post& lintel and granite design of the proposed storefronts that are used in several other storefronts in the surrounding area. He showed renderings of the Front Street entrance and the New Derby Street elevation. Ms. Vinson asked what type of retail use is envisioned to occupy the retail component of the development. Attorney Atkins responded that there are no specific retailers targeted at this point in time, but the use will compliment the building population. Ms. Vinson asked what would happen if these storefronts are not occupied. 4 SRA Minutes October 13, 1999 Attorney Atkins responded that Simsbury has committed $12 million to this project and has faith in this development and the economic growth in downtown to feel secure enough that this space will be occupied. Chairman Curran thanked Attorney Atkins, Mr. Crepeau and Ms. Potter for their presentation. Peabody Essex Museum Expansion Attorney John R. Scrafini, Sr. addressed the SRA Board as counsel for the Peabody Essex Museum to request that the original agreement in regard to the development of the headhouse of the Armory be amended. He explained that the SRA needs to give permission to the Museum to move forward in the amendment process, by submitting this plan change to Mass Historic. A vote this evening would allow the public process to begin. The plans would then be brought back to the SRA for their review process and final approval, along with Site Plan Review by the Planning Board and what ever other municipal entity that is required. He reiterated that a positive recommendation of the SRA this evening would be the first step of the amendment process. Ms. Vinson stated that of the three actions outlined in the applicant's letter to the Authority, she felt she could only acknowledge the withdrawal of the original plan (#I). Attorney Serafini responded that what is being asked of the Board this evening is that it approve the concept that there will be a change in the original plans as previously submitted and referred to in the Memorandum of Agreement(MOA). The actual amendment will come from Mass Historic. Mr. Daly stated that it is his understanding that the SRA is being asked this evening to vote on the Museum's ability to ask for changes to the plans & agreements not on the final changes. Attorney Scrafini responded that this statement was correct. Chairman Curran asked if Mass Historic does not agree to amend the agreement, the agreement cannot be amended. Attorney Serafini responded that this statement was also correct. At this time, Chairman Curran instructed that the record reflect that four letters in regard to this discussion were submitted to the SRA. They are as follows: I. Letter dated October 13, 1999 from Mayor Stanley J. Usovicz, Jr. 2. Memorandum to Dan Monroe copied to the SRA dated October 13, 1999 from Historic Salem Incorporated 3. Letter dated October 13, 1999 from David Pelletier 4. Letter dated October 13, 1999 from Staley McDermet 5 SRA Minutes October 13, 1999 At this time Chairman Curran stated that this is a public meeting not a public hearing and normally comments are not taken from the audience. He continued that because of the level of interest in this project, he would accept brief statements for the record from the public. Mr. William Bums commented that the document before the SRA this evening is a very general document, and it is very dangerous to approve something without knowing the specifics. Mr. Alan Hanscom, 82 Washington Sq. West, stated that the language the Museum is asking the SRA to approve tonight is very vague and expressed his concern that Museum could use the SRA's approval as leverage when this amendment goes to Mass Historic. Mr. John Carr, 7 River Street, commented that he agreed with the last two speakers. He felt that if the amendment process is to take place at Mass Historic let it take place at Mass Historic. He continued it is very dangerous to approve something out of context. If the needs of the Museum have changed let them give the building back to the City and find a developer who can develop that site. Mr. David Pelletier stated that after the Armory fire the process that led up to giving the Museum this property was a 6-7 year process and this should take just as long. He also stated that the developer failed to fulfill his obligations outlined in the development agreement and the process should be started to take back the building. Mr. Tim Clarke, an Essex Street resident and President of HSI, a non-profit, preservation advocacy entity with over 400 members stated he was surprised to hear about this meeting. He cited language from a letter dated July 13, 1998 from Craig Wheeler stating that HSI would be kept informed of any actions regarding the Armory. Therefore, he was upset over the lack of public notice for this meeting. He continued by referencing section 3B of the agreement regarding the SRA taking into account objections from any party and stated for the record his objection to the request being made by the Museum this evening to change the MOA. Mr. Ed Luzinski, Veterans Council, expressed his concern about the change in plans, and stated that the Museum should stand by the terms and conditions in the original MOA. Ms. Annie Harris, Chestnut Street resident and Executive Director of the Salem Partnership (75 members) stated that the Partnership has not taken a vote, but has been supportive of the Museum project. She felt that Museum had every intention to fulfilling the terms of the original MOA when it was executed, but the Museum has changed (merging with the Essex Institute) and now this new entity has a different plan and we need to allow them to change. She suggested that the motion be more defined (not so broad) and the Museum be allowed to move forward. Attorney Serafini stated that the DCPO agreement provides for an amendment process and in a 1997 communication, in the form of a letter, DCPO was advised that the Museum would like to amend the agreement. He assured everyone that there will be opportunity to comment at a public hearing. Tonight, the Museum is just here to ask the SRA to take a vote to start this process. At this time (7:25 pro), Chairman Curran closed the public comment portion of this meeting. 6 SRA Minutes October 13, 1999 Kevin Daly stated that he was willing to allow this request as its purpose is to allow the Museum to go to Mass Historic. He stated the motion could acknowledge the withdrawal of the 1991 plans for the headhouse and allow for the Museum at a future date to submit an amendment to the MOA relative to its new plans for the headhouse as referenced in the MOA and to allow the Museum to go to Mass Historic stating the SRA was open to an amendment but not referring to a specific plan. Ms. Vinson stated she did not feel comfortable with any request that calls for approval of a concept plan. Mr. Daly drafted a potential motion and read it to the members for their consideration. It stated that the SRA allow the Museum Cooperative at a future date to submit an amendment to the MOA relative to its plans for the headhouse as referred to in paragraph IB of the MOA. He stated that this allows the Museum to go to Mass Historic and states that the SRA is open to an amendment, although not agreeing to anything specific until the Museum formally submits a specific amendment and specific plans. Ms. Vinson stated she was not comfortable voting on anything this evening. Mr. Baldini commented that the SRA is being asked just to 'get the ball started'. Mr. Baldini made a motion that the request submitted by the Museum in a letter dated October 5, 1999 be approved and revised with Mr. Daly's stipulations. Mr. Daly stated that his motion was drafted to replace the three specific requests outlined in the October 5 1h letter. There was no second to Mr. Baldini's motion. Mr. Daly made a motion to allow the Museum Cooperative at a future date to submit an amendment to the MOA relative to its plans for the headhouse as referred to in paragraph IB of the MOA. In support of the motion, he stated he believes this motion gives the Museum the ability go to Mass Historic and states that the SRA is open to amendments if we find them agreeable. Ms. Vinson felt that this motion would mean the SRA does not feel bound by the original agreement. Mr. Daly responded that this motion acknowledges that we may allow an amendment. He continued that he observes in his business (attorney)that many times circumstances change where contracts warrant an amendment, and this might or might not be one of them. The motion 7 SRA Minutes October 13, 1999 on the table doesn't say the SRA is going to amend the original agreements, it says we will consider it. Conrad Baldini seconded the motion. A roll call vote was taken with members Baldini, Connelly, Curran and Daly voting in the affirmative and member Vinson voting in the negative. Motion so carried. Mr. Connelly made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Baldini seconded the motion. All were in favor, motion so carried. Meeting stands adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Ellen S.
