Therefore, please be advised that we are unwilling to comply with your stated desires in relation to this building. Sincerely yours, Ra�Tetrault �. ��'`"� . 3 �' . . S L.H.

Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Dear Mr. Barrett : I have your letter of March 17, 1972 asking me whether my company is interested in being a developer of land of the Redevelopment Authority indicated on an enclosed disposition map. As you know, we have already submitted a plan for No . 150 Essex Street (Schribman building) and Nos. 138, 140-142 Essex Street, our present building. If necessary, we affirm these proposals. However, the land which is the subject of said proposals is not shown on the map you sent us. We are, however, interested in land from the project that might be usable for a development similar to those pre- viously submitted. To the extent that such land might be available, we wish to preserve our preferential status and to be considered a developer for that purpose. Very truly yours, L. H. ROGERS, INC.

Saine, Chairman A group of concerned citizens, composed of members of Toledo's Urban Renewal Projects, Model Cities, various community organizations, the Ohio Housing Coalition, and other similar groups, has been very disturbed by recent restrictions placed on the availability of 3`/, loans and the withholding of funds already appropriated by Congress. In order to express our concern, residents have formed a citizens committee to plan a public meeting, prepare resolutions and/or petitions and to follow through in any productive way that may reverse these arbitrary government decisions. We feel that many others throughout the country are likewise very concerned and disturbed. Therefore, we are doing these things: 1). Attaching copies of material being distributed to inter- ested parties here in Toledo. Further, this material is being sent to all LPA's throughout the United States; 2). Asking that each of you let us know as to any methods or programs you might be using to register your concern over these problems; 3). Inviting, if location makes it practical, any who would like to attend our public meeting on Sunday, December 17, 1972, 2: 00 p.m. at the Toledo Health & Retiree Center, 318 W. Woodruff; 4). Requesting that you join with us in communicating with your Congressmen, Senators, Office of Management and Budget, HUD, etc. , by telegram, letter, or possibly a resolution and/or petition like sample enclosed; S). Asking that you share this material with your local PAC 's and local government officials. Please let us hear from you. Sincerely, Patrica Saine Chairman sbj enc. SPONSOR: Citizens Committee to Restore 37 Rehabilitation Loans SUBJECT: Background Information on 312 Loans, Restrictions, and Affects PREPARED BY: Geraldine F. Macelwane, Board Member - Old !-'est End District Council DATE: November 28, 1972 In order to continue to preserve and rehabilitate our fine inner-city residential areas, residents have, for many years, utilized all tools at their command, such as zoning, building inspection, health department orders, citations to housing court, etc. Code enforcement area wide has been hampered by a housing code which required all homes to be brought up to new housing standards. Toledo City Council, after two years of labor, has passed a minimum housing ordinance and created a Department of Community Development which will be staffed with 15 housing inspectors that will make code enforce- ment at long last a reality. Now we are, informed by President Nixon's Executive Office of Management and Budget that it has released only $50 million for rehabilitation loans in fiscal year 11973. This is the balance of the $90 million appropriated by Congress during the first session of the 92nd Congress. Congress has since provided an additional $70 million for rehabilitation loans which the Office of Management and Budget has not released. Letters from the Director, Casper W. Weinberger to Senator Robert Taft, Jr. of Ohio and Winston Folkers, Director of Community Development, City of Toledo, state that prospects for the release of same are not good. As a result of OMB's failure to adequately fund the 3%, 20 year loans for rehabili- tation of homes, HUD has assigned the $50 million for the fiscal year 1973 to its regional offices and they have sub-assigned the funds to its area offices. Because insufficient funds are available, HUD then established priorities which limits the loans to low income families and made these priorities retroactive to June 30, 1972. Number of Persons in Family 1 2 3 & 4 5 & 6 7 plus Maximum - Income Limits . $6,650 $8, 100. $9,500 . $10,950 .412;350 In determining the income level, the gross earnings of all members of the family must be included. The practical effect of this in the Old [west End Urban Renewal.District is that of 79 pending cases, 38 have been washed out immediately -- about one-half of the remaining 41 will fail for not enough income to support loans, poor credit, liens, delinquent mort- gages, etc. Also, two-thirds of 'the rehabilitation loans completed in the past three and one-half years would have failed to qualify under the new priorities. Of the 21 cases approved locally and in the Chicago Office awaiting funding for four to five months, only 7 are eligible under this priority system. All these cases took months to put together and have now been washed out. There is no other avenue open to the resident of the inner-city to improve his home. Private financing is not available and if it were, it would be limited to $5000 with an effective interest rate of 12.15% over 7 years with a monthly payment of $89.10 to be added to the monthly payments now being paid on the'mortgage. A 312 loan at 3% over 20 years results in a monthly payment of $27.75 for 20 years on a $5,000 loan. Our 'average loan has been $6,000 with a repayment of $33:30 per month in addition to the regular mortgage payments. If this one program which is geared to conserve, preserve, and repay is killed by underfunding by OMB and unrealistic priorities set by HUD, this area will become a grave- yard of deserted and abandoned homes. Our program of code enforcement will be meaningless as no funds will be available to comply with housing orders. The only way we can impress upon President Nixon, OMB, and HUD the urgency of the matter is to get its Washington based, policy making directors, to Toledo and see for themselvestheirirreversible error in making it impossible for middle income families to buy homes here and improve them to a liveable status. In this- time of severe housing shortages, it is incomprehensible that the Federal Government should not go "all out" to conserve our existing homes instead of killing its one practical program. sbj OlPP1RMlMT Oa N0V51N0 RNO V118PN 01V61-0PY cntwmn.

POSSIBLE PRESS RELEASE News About Prepared by: City of Toledo B. G. Scott Bodell Department of Public Information Officer Community Development 255-1500 ext. 483 FOR RELEASE (INSERT OWN HEADING) Upon Receipt' Nearly 800 urban renewal agencies from across the nation including (insert name of your Agency) have mounted a nationwide campaign to protest a recent HUD ruling affecting the low interest loan program available to property owners in urban renewal areas. The campaign originated in Toledo, Ohio. The protest action stems from a recent letter from the Department of Housing and Urban Development which stipulates that applicants for Section 312 property rehabilitation loans must now meet the income limitation schedule established for the Section 221(d)(3) housing program. The schedule for (name of your city) is as follows: Family Size Income Limitations 1 person 2 persons 3-4 persons (insert figures) 5-6 persons 7 plus Previously, any person regardless of income who owned property in an urban renewal area was automatically eligible to apply for loans in amounts up to $17,400 per dwelling unit for property rehabilitation. Mr. Harold E. Taylor, who heads the loan and grant rehab program for the Division of Renewal Operations in Toledo, Ohio, stated that the ruling greatly reduces the number of people who would be eligible for Section 312 loan funding. If the ruling were in effect last year, more than half of the loans we approved in Toledo could not have been made. (This would be an appropriate place for your local "Rehab" chief to make a comment rela- tive to the impact the ruling would have on your local program). In addition, the protest group has also registered a complaint against President Nixon's Executive Office of Management and Budget. In a position paper prepared by a member of Toledo's committee, the group pointed out that $70 million appropriated by Congress for the Loan Program is being withheld. The withholding of these funds will undermine and kill the nation's rehabilitation effort, thus leaving our country's conser- vation areas to become "graveyards of deserted and abandoned housing", the committee members said. All agencies participating in this effort will express their concern and dissatis- faction with the ruling in letters to their Congressmen, Senators, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Office of Management and Budget and President Nixon. -30- � INS�ITG U) n � w M 836. a ESSEX INSTITUTE SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS 01970 OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR May 1, 1972 John W. Barrett, Esq. , Executive Director Salem Redevelopment Authority 60 Washington Street Salem, Mass. 01970 Dear John: Thank you for your letter of April 25 informing me of the demise of the Design Review Board. I do not regret it. It had no power and appeared to me to be only a cosmetic device. As grumbles filter into my office, my doubts about the qualifications of several minor developers in the redevelopment area are .increasing. They may well lack the funds, the will, and the understanding required to lying their buildings up to the standards set by the Authority. Under these circumstances it is my understanding that the SRA can take over these buildings by eminent domain and hand them over to a developer who will do the job properly. The grumbles I have heard have to do with the prices to be paid by the Authority for these buildings. I hope that the SRA will make every effort to obtain appraisals which are not only fair but also are publicly accepted as fair. Much of the future development of Salem is riding on this issue.

It is our opinion that it would be convenient and desirable for the general contractor to be given the right and privilege of constructing his foundation form work, beginning at the southwest corner of the bank property, six feet more or.less north of the corner of the Sawtelle building and proceeding in an easterly direction about sixty-five feet along the property line. The contractor will be operating on land that will ultimately be part of the passage way south of the bank property line. It is suggested that the attorney for the bank consider the merits of this idea and enter into an agreement with the representative for Sawtelle to obtain his permission. If Sawtelle is reticent or would not agree to this arrangement, it would be necessary for the general contractor to work entirely from within the bank ))roperty line. This would make the work somewhat more difficult. If the attorney for the bank wishes to discuss this question in more detail with me, please have him get in touch.

Kerr 11, Associate Director LAWRENCEJ. OLSSON DATE: 12 December, 1972 Introduction: As you know, SRA has planned a volume of Site Improvements work, presently estimated to cost approximately $3,610,770, (not including escalation and design and engineering fees) which must be designed and constructed over the next 3 years. Of this volume of work, approximately $371,800 is presently under contract, leaving a balance of some $3,238,970 in work yet to be accomplished. To date, under present contractural arrangements we have experienced considerable difficulty in the production and man- agement of this work. As you know, some of these difficulties have been created by the pressure to bring initial aspects of this work under contract and to completion at an early date. However, much of our present difficulties are created by the fact that we are dealing with two contractors, with an arbitrary division line between respective work responsibilities. Problem Analysis: We have analyzed the options available to us to rectify the situation in the interest of a better coordinated and more efficient execution of the work at hand. Our conclusions are as follows: 1) The responsibility for coordination of the work must be fixed for each phase; possi- ble options are as follows: a) SRA staff undertake coordination responsibility; b) under a joint venture, the joint venture assumes coordination responsibility; c) under separate contracts, one contractor is assigned the coordination respon- sibility. 2) During the construction phase, due to the complexity of the work at hand, the supervising architect and/or engineer must be readily accesible and capable of -_ immediate response to job problems which may arise. Our options are as follows: MEMO: To Collins DuTot Partnership To Whitman & Howard 12 December 1972 a) SRA staff undertake supervision responsibility; b) under a joint venture, the joint venture assumes supervision responsibility; c) under separate contract, each contractor assumes respective responsibility for supervision of his own work; d) under separate contract, one contractor assumes responsibility for all work. Nature of Response: On the basis of the options indicated above and the allocation of fees by design phase and nature of the work (attached) we seek a proposal or proposals from Whitman & How- ard and Collins DuTot Partnership which will best serve the Authority's needs. If the proposals advanced are clearly inadequate to overcome present problems, SRA will have to set the conditions under which the work is offered to prospective contractors. We prefer that the contractors interested in performing the work establish the conditions under which specific responsibilities will be assumed and assigned. Time of Response: A job meeting for the Derby Square Project has been scheduled for 1:00 P.M., Monday, 18 December, 1972.

Dear Mr: Sutte: Previously you appraised parcel RC-18. Said parcel has been subdivided into two parcels, RC-18 and RC-18A. RC-18 is to be sold to the Salem Housing Authority for use as a recreational area in conjunction with the housing for the elderly on RC-20. RC-18A is to be sold to the owner of the Pickman House (abutter). In discussion with Mr. Mattos, he suggested that the price reflect amore suitable alternate reuse with respect to RC-18 and further suggested that this could be done by letter form. Prompt attention to this matter would be appreciated so that we may execute the Land Disposition Agreement with the Salem Housing Authority. Sincerely yours, John W.

Aldrich, Campbell, Aldrich & Nulty Chung Lee, Campbell, Aldrich & Nulty Sam Wang, Campbell, Aldrich & Nulty John Collins, The 'Collins DuTot Partnership John V. Emerson, Salem Redevelopment Authority Review of Design Proposals for Garage The architect presented a number of alternate elevation studies. The principal difference was the location or extent of the applied screen. The architect favored the use of redwood planks running vertically,, narrow face out. The three members of the committee were in general agree- ment as follows: 1. North elevational treatment. The committee agreed with the architects that the elevation in which the screen extended from the second floor to the roof was on balance the most successful of the alternates. Another of the alternates which cut the screen off at the fourth floor was commendable for the resulting reduction in scale but also resulted in an ambiguous expression of the functional zones in the building. 2. Use of materials. The architect was encouraged to use a warm colored concrete. The use of redwood panels was allowed from an appearance point-of=view and the use of "Corten" was not ruled out. Brick infill panels on the west elevation and in the projecting low area at Museum Square was giveh provisional approval. 3. Dropped elevation of ground floor retail area. In order to gain head- room under the parking ramp, the architect is considering dropping all or a part of the floor of the retail area. This creates problems at each point of connection between this floor level and adjacent grade levels. However, if handled well and if care is taken to provide ramped connections for the handicapped, the committee agreed that the approach was possible. HERITAGE PLAZA-EAST •I!

WE'LL SEE THESE PEOPLE A-ATN_ E 1 COMMENTS, RE SALEM DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT Section 2: Under Section 50, Chapter 75, 1969 Acts, SRA may delegate any of its powers or functions (with respect to planning or undertaking of an urban renewal project) to a ... . , . , , .city, town or other public body or to any board or officer of a city, town, or other public body. . . . . . " Comment: I assume this means that SRA cannot be abolished, as the SDCD Act suggests, ' but that the Authority must so delegate to another agency. Section 2: Retention of employees and protection of rights as of the date of enactment of the SDCD Act. Comment: Shouldn't this be a retroactive date (i.e., date of introduction of the Act to the City Council), otherwise, in theory, all employees could be discharged immedi- ately prior to enactment, thereby losing all present rights. Section 3: No tenure to Director of Community Development. Comment: . Couldn't the Director be engaged on a contract basis for a stipulated period of time, with conditions for removal prior to termination date of the contract spelled out in the SDCD Act? Section 8(c.): No reference to cooperation with the Commonwealth. Comment: Should so reference, in order to be able to receive assistance from the Comma n- wealth - this is a thread which should run consistantly throughout the SDCD Act. General 01: What about existing contractural obligations of Agencies to be incorporated into the SDCD? Shouldn't these contractural obligations be honored? (i.e., contracts in force as of both a retroactive date, such as the date of introduction to the Council and asT3eing in force as of the date of enactment of the SDCD. See my comment on Section 2 as a reason for inclusion of such a provision. General �2: What about Federal funding requirements as to eligible project costs regarding annual administrative budget? Federal government only funds administrative costs to the degree they are directly related to the project being supported (i.e. , salaries for employees serving other members or activities of the Department would be pro-rated, in terms of eligibility as a project expense). COMMENTS, RE SALEM DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT Page 2 General #3s What about inclusion of Salem Off-Street Parking Commission as a part of the SDCD? The Commission has city-wide responsibility and is a key element of any development activity. Robert J. Kerr If Associate Director Essex County Tourist Council of Massachusetts, Inc. * * P. O.

M.D. ASST. TREASU Lawrence�ess"ekVNC ,Nn TO: MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF THE SALEM REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY FROM: JOHN W. BARRETT JUNE 2, 1972 The enclosed is a budgetary status report of expenditures through April 30, 1972. The expenses incurred during the month of May will not be posted into the ledger until mid-June. Attached to the budgetary status report is a brief explanation of major expenditures for each line item and commitments against each line item. In November, 1971 a revised budget, eliminating overruns from various line items by transfer from reserve and contingencies to other items, was submitted to HUD for review and approval. At the time, since a major plan change was in process, HUD did not review the revised budget. The reason for this action was due to the fact that the plan change, of and by itself, would require submission of a revised budget and necessary transfers to line items could best be accomplished at one time rather than presenting two budget revisions. The revised budget submitted to you over the signature of Robert Kerr was the responsibility of Mr. Kerr under his contractural obligation to the Authority. However, the budget was jointly prepared by Mr. Kerr and the undersigned and does reflect the necessary line item adjustments. Prior to submitting the revised budget to you for study, the budget was completely reviewed by both Mr. Kerr and myself with Mr. Castintini of the firm of Sullivan and Harris who serves as accountant for the Authority. I hope that the explanation relative to each line item is in sufficient detail. However, if you have any questions, please contact me. { �s Line item 1 - Will not be expended - line item will be closed out and $6,201 will be transferred Line item 2 - Includes total administrative costs such as travel (out of town and local), publications, contracts for services (legal and accounting), rent, utilities, office supplies, insurance, leases for office machines, furniture and fixtures, salaries (permanent and part-time).

WILLIAM J. TINTI, ESO. The six-month SRA Balance Sheet will be due shortly, but will not reflect sufficient detail to apprise the Board as to the current status of the Authority' s expense relative to budget both, fixed and variable. I refer to Payroll and head count, as well as non-budgeted and a possible overbudget expenditures reflected in the Bills Payable presented to the Board during the last quarter. Because you have not yet pres nted the Board with the revised budget due, they are at a los of knowing whether or not you are administering the Authority' s funds within budget,prior or approved revised. I call yourattention to the fact that job responsibilities voted by the Board hold you accountable for administering these funds within budget, as well as the Associate Director requesting expenditures that are within the framework of the budget on a line item basis . All expenditures of a major nature $25. 00 or over must be voted by the full Board at a properly convened meeting according to the By-Laws of the Authority to approve such expenditure. Your revised budget is due now, and you are directed to prepare a Budgetary Status Report, fully completed, for all line ,items for five months of 1972 , with a copy for each Board member for review. This report will be expected at the next regular meeting. �L?Z7TL�� T. Noonan Cha' man - SRA TJN/md cc: Mayor S. E. Zoll Robert J.

In recent months, however, „ incidences of vandalism have reached a peak. The Authority to date has expended in excess of $5,500 to protect properties from vandalism and to repair properties that have been vandalized. A recent break of a window in the former Bell Shop location will cost in excess of $500 for repair in addition to necessary temporary boarding. Costs for protection of properties on Essex and St. Peter Streets, to eliminate the wanton destruction of property, exceeds $250. The Authority is presently expending $270 to protect the Bowker Building from potential vandalism. We have done everything possible to protect properties owned by the Authority from being potential fire hazards. The members of the Board of the Salem Redevelopment Authority are concerned about the increased vandalism in the area. We respectfully request that increased vigilance in the area, especially in the evening hours, be instituted in an effort to control the vandalism. Sincerely yours, John W.

Much of the focus has, at the present moment, been in the area of the Town Hall. It is rather difficult for us to intelligently discuss the potential of the Town Hall with prospects when they observe the unfortunate habitants who tend to congregate in Higginson Square and the Derby Square area. The presence of these individuals tend to undermine any sales pitch which we may make to potential businesses. t I know that you are well aware of the existing problem, May I request, on behalf of the Authority, that the Salem Police Depart- ment diligently patrol the area so that these individuals are forced to move on and not congregate, as is their current practice.

This Order makes an employee of the Board of Appeals exempt from Section 20 provided he files with the City Clerk's office a statement making full disclosure of his interest and the interest of his immediate family in the con- tract. Since you will be involved with the transfer of property with the Salem Redevelopment Authority, Mr, Vallis has advised me that you must file with the City Clerk a disclosure statement of your interest relative to the proposed transaction.

(3) all permitted uses, functions and services shall be conducted entirely within buildings of permanent and durable construction, except as otherwise provided herein for the operatUn of properly licensed alfresco markets, food service and other retail and except for parking, loading, open space and minor ac- cessory uses , which minor accessory uses shall be appropriately screened. (4) no building or structure shall be erected, reconstructed, enlarged, moved or otherwise improved, modified and/or operated for any use other than those permitted herein, nor shall any building or structure be erected, recon- structed, enlarged or otherwise improved, modified and/or operated in such a manner as to violate any of the regulations and controls specified herein. (5) no temporary building or structure shall be permitted on any site within the Project Area after completion of the improvements thereon. E ( 6) the following dimensional requirements shall k apply to the construction of all new buildings and/or addition and enlargement of existing buildings within the Project Area: (a) Floor Area: Allowable floor area which may be constructed or otherwise enclosed within building walls shall be a func- tion of the ground area of all land par- cels for disposition for new construction and/or addition and enlargement of exist- ing buildings within the Project Area. In consideration of the intention of the Flan to locate, provide and develop an open space network for the protection and enhancement of public health, safety and amenity, all new construction and/or addition and enlargement of existing buildings shall take place within those areas of individual land parcels located without the designated open space net- work as it may bear on the individual la { land parcel. The Floor Area Ratio for r; (' application as above to establish maximum intensity of use shall be not :treater than 3.0: 1; provided that the floor area of buildings characterized by con- struction type as 50% open ( such as automobile parking structures) , shall be charged against the allowable floor area limits at the rate of 1 sq, ft. of } actual building area being equivalent to .4 sq. ft. of allowable floor area; and further providing that the floor area of any covered or enclosed pedestrian circu- lation system, contained within a building ! and generally open to public access, shall not be charged against the limit of build- able floor area. I (b) Open Space and Ground Coverage: In con- `s sideration of the intention of the Plan C that public health, safety and amenity be r protected and enhanced by the provision of an open space network, either through public dedication of land for open space uses or through retention of easements over privately held land areas, no pri- vately open spaces shall be required. (c) Maximum Building Height: It is the in- tention of the Plan that building height be a function of the purpose and nature of individual building uses. Except as otherwise provided herein, maximum build- ing height within the. Project Area shall not exceed the equivalent of six (6) storeys above the highest point of the finished grade of the land area in question. For the purposes of administration of this provision, a building storey shall be considered to engross a vertical dimen- sion of ten (10) feet from underside of flooring to underside of flooring, but allowing one storey of each building to be computed at a height not in excess of a vertical dimension from underside of flooring to underside of flooring of twenty (20) feet. Vertical extension of buildings shall be conditioned by the following building types: Residential: (1) Town House: A single dwelling unit with integral vertical circulation serving not greater than the equi- valent of four (4) build- ing storeys, plus nec- essary height for the term- ination of the roof of the structure ; (2) Row House: See Town House. (3) Flats: Combinations of single dwelling units organ- ized on a predominantly horizontal arrangement of individual dwelling units, served by a com- mon method of vertical 20 - circulation= for such structures served by non- mechanical vertical circulation,maximum building height shall not exceed the equivalent of three (3) building storeys, plus necessary height for the termination of the roof of the structures for such structures served by mechanical vertical cir- culation, maximum building height shall not exceed twelve (12) storeys, plus necessary height for the termination of the roof of the structure, excepting , those structures where off-street parking is pro- vided as an integral part of the structure, thereby allowing one (1) additional storey of building i height for each storey of off-street parking pro- vided within the structure, as provided in specific i height zones shown on Map 2, Land Use Plan. i '. (4) Mixed Use Combinations of residential and non-residential Structuress uses within a single structure, not exceeding an j ' allocation of floor area for non-residential pur- poses of not less than ten percent (10%) , nor more than fifty per cent (50 , of total floor area within the structures when served by non- 21 _ mechanical vertical circulation, maximum building height shall not exceed the equivalent of three (3) storeys, plus necessary height for the termination of the roof of the structures when served by mechanical vertical circulation, maximum building height shall not exceed the equivalent of twelve (12) storeys, plus necessary height for the termination of the roof of the structure, as provided in specific height zones shown on Map 2, Land Use Plan.

The visual integrity of the exterior appearance of the structure, visible from the public way, shall be restored and rehabiliLted in accordance with and in the spirit of the following standards and guides: 1) Where restoration of the visual integrity of the exterior appearance of structures of historic and architectural value is not economically or structurally feasible , care shall be taken that any exterior changes, including paint- ing and decoration of exterior surfaces, shall be made in materials and in forms which are architecturally compatible with the identified historic and architectural values; r. in no way shall this requirement prohibit the use of con- temporary materials or construction technique; however, the manner in which such materials or techniques are used shall be a matter for the particular attention of the Authority, its Design Advisory Committee, its staff and consultants, in accordance with the standards and criteria herein incorporated. - 56 - b. Review of rehabilitation proposals for properties of historic and architectural value, including those properties not to be acquired, but for which exterior rehabilitation requirements must be met and those properties which are to be resold, subject to a specific rehabilitation requirement shall be a responsibility of the Authority and its duly appointed Design Advisory Committee= results of the review by the Design Advisory Committee, including appropriate recommendations, shall be referred to the governing board of the Authority for concurrence and approval. (1) In advancing its recommendations to the Authority, the Design Advisory Committee shall. be guided by the express conditions of the design concepts to be prepared by the Authority and the following several principles; (a) Preservation of the exterior appearance of, structures as elements of the streetscape shall be the primary design objective, notwithstanding the basic concern for rehabilitation of the structural and functional qualities of a. given. building. (b) Where rehabilitation requirements stipulate re- placement of elements of buildings of historic and architectural value, such replacements need not be made as reproductions of earlier forms but must be - 57 - ioll�accomplished in a manner and with materials in , keeping with the character and qualities of tl� individual structures; (c) Preservation of the exterior architectural charac- ter of structures may include preservation of a combination of architectural styles and historic periods in groups of structures or in combination ' in a single structure; it is notihe intention of a property rehabilitation standards to limit preserva- tion activities to a single style or period in recognition of the fact that the retention of a range of styles and historic periods will maintain the sense of historic continuity in the project areal (d) In general, the intention of all rehabilitation activities involving structures and areas of historic and architectural value shall be the restoration i. i of neighborhood quality, economic viability and functional capacity; where preservation of historic and architectural values can contribute to this goal, every effort shall be made to assure the 'economic and functional feasibility of such activities, including the possible acquisition and/ or retention of facade easements over individual _ 58 — properties by the Authority as a stimulus toI preservation activities. 'I �i (3) All owners of properties for which rehabilitation is scheduled shall submit to the Authority such : E; plans and specifications as may be necessary to Y indicate clearly whether the intent expressed in individual design concepts is being achieved. The information which is to be submitted shall be presented 1) at the conclusion of the schematic design phase for review and preliminary approval 33 6 and 2) at the completion of contract documents for i t: r. final action.

MASS.R-95 SALEM, ESSEX COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS I. - 6o - j I i i URBAN DESIGN CRITERIA HERITAGE PLAZA-EAST URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT SALEM. ESSEX COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS A. INTRODUCTION 1. Purpose and Intent To ensure the sound and attractive redevelopment of the Heritage Plaza-East Urban Renewal Project, redevelopers will be required to meet certain design criteria. These criteria will serve as a guide for individual redevelopers in preparing architectural, site and landscaping plans and as a basis for the review of these plans by the Authority. They are based upon performance and flexibility to meet conditions in the Project area and surrounding central city area of of Salem. The overall objective is directed not only toward improvement of the Project area, but also to the creation of a central business district that can favorably compete in today' s market. Local conditions and the historical importance of the Town Hall area and Derby Square will be major considera- tions. In this context, owners and occupants of structures (both new construction and -rehabilitated and/or restored existing - 61 - i 1 structures to remain) , located in the Town Hall Area, as such area may from time "to time be defined by the Authority, shall be entitled to proportional representation in the management and operation of a district committee, which committee' s purposes shall include the management, operation and preservation of the restored area. All such owners and occupants shall be required to participate in the development of appropriate regulations and programs for the management, operation and preservation of the restored area, and to abide by said regulations and programs, unless, upon appropriate petition for relief for reasons of financial hardship or other impracticality, received and granted by the Authority, any or all of the requirements of the said regulations and programs shall be waived for an individual owner and/or occupant. 2. Application The provisions of these standards are mandatory and apply to all existing-to-remain buildings and new development in the project. These basic standards are not confined in their application to the building within its property lines but also apply to its impact upon the environment, provisions for access and circulation, and for essential services and facilities. In all cases, standards shall be interpreted - 62 - i within the intent of the general objectives outlined or implied. i 3. Applicability of Other Codes. Ordinances. and Regulations The requirements set forth in these standards shall supple- ment all state, county and local codes and ordinances applica— ble to the regulation and control of existing buildings, any repair or renovation thereof, and new construction. B. GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA Redevelopers will be required to meet certain design objectives and criteria, in order that sound and attractive development will be achieved. The desired goal is a proper integration of rehabilitated buildings and new development into a harmonious central city residential/commercial area.

For THE SALEM REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Prepared by TRAMCO, INC. 30 Boylston Street Cambridge, Mass. , 02138 February 1972 SUMMARY Heritage Plaza-East is a 40 acre renewal project in downtown Salem sponsored by the Salem Redevelopment Authority. Tramco was retained to evaluate traffic and parking considerations affecting the proposed development. Plans for intra-regional highway improvement now being actively considered by the Boston Transportation Planning Review would remove more traffic from downtown Salem than would be added by completion of Heritage Plaza-East. The supply of parking proposed by the developer will be adequate to meet the needs of Heritage Plaza- East provided that a it pricing structure is adopted which tends to encourage short term shopper parking and tends to discourage all day parking. To the extent that MBTA bus routes serving downtown Salem can be restructured to appeal to a wider segment of the traveling public, pressures on downtown parking facilities will be lessened. No aspect of the traffic and parking plan proposed for Heritage Plaza-East suggests that this project should not proceed. RIMCO,IOC' _1 BACKGROUND "Heritage Plaza-East" is the name given by the Salem Redevelopment Authority to a major urban renewal project located in downtown Salem. Encompassing approximately 40 acres, the project is bounded on the west by Washington Street, on the north by Bridge Street, on the east by St. Peter and Liberty Streets and on the south by Derby and New Derby Streets. This area includes the great majority of important retail locations in downtown Salem. Until recently, most of the work of the Salem Redevelop— ment Authority has -been focused on site planning, and on the acquisition of parcels making up the site. Now, much of the site has been acquired and cleared, and a developer has been selected. The issues which remain to be resolved center around competing concepts for site development, for internal circulation, and for external access to the site. PURPOSE TRAMCO, INC. , a firm of consultants in transportation research and management, was retained by STAHL/BENNETT, Inc. , as a sub-contractor to prepare estimates of existing and expected traffic flow on major streets in the development area, and to provide the Salem Redevelopment Authority with recommendations for schematic alternatives in the circulation system in major traffic generating areas. The purpose of TRAMCO' s participation at this point in the evaluation of the Heritage Plaza=East project is to advise and assist the Salem Redevelopment Authority ,r in comparing alternative development possibilities from the point of view of their impact on traffic and parking problems within and immediately adjacent to the project area. SCOPE As evidenced by the budget allocation of $2, 500, covering research, report preparation, and attendance at meetings, the scope of this project is strictly limited. No major original data gathering was contemplated or completed. This report is based entirely on an analysis of existing readily available data, and on such comparisons with similar situations elsewhere as were necessary in our judgment to permit ranking of alternative traffic and parking concepts. INFORMATION AVAILABLE General Downtown Salem is a major regional commercial center located about 14 miles northeast of Boston. The greater Boston region encompasses a population of about 2. 5-3. 0 million persons, but of these only about 100, 000 people rely on Salem as their primary shopping center. This is because of restricted highway access and because of competition from adjacent shopping centers. Because of its seacoast position, Salem was built up earlier than areas farther inland. When limited access highways were constructed following World War II, these new roads were routed along the path of least resistance through less built-up inland communities. 11111MCOF IRC, -3- .t As a result, Salem found itself without direct highway access to surrounding areas. The best route to Boston is via a heavily built-up arterial street, interrupted by numerous intersections. When the majority of trips to Boston were made by commuter train, this disadvantage was relatively un- important. Now that the commuter train has lost its dominant market share, Salem finds itself curiously isolated from downtown Boston. East-west access is via circumferential Route 128 but the nearest exit is three miles away and the access road, Route 114, is esentially a suburban residential street. The lack of good access roads tends to limit the geographic size of the market area in which Salem can compete. The Northshore shopping center on Route 128 in Peabody intercepts many potential customers living in communities north and west of Salem and. in addition attracts a significant number of Salem residents because of the availability of major department stores. The proximity of Lynn and Boston to the south and the relatively good access between the two tends to draw away people who might otherwise be attracted to Salem. Today the market area focused on Salem therefore consists only of Salem itself and parts of the adjacent communities of Marblehead, Swampscott, Peabody, Danvers and Beverly. The current plan for downtown redevelop- ment in Salem should include among its goals not only increasing the size of this market area but also increasing the percentage of persons within the market area who elect to use downtown Salem in preference to competing areas. This latter goal can be accomplished by increasing the convenience and attractiveness of shopping in Salem. IHAMCOP hY. -4- The former goal requires an assemblage of unique shops and attractions which because they are unduplicated elsewhere, can draw patronage from a much larger portion of the greater Boston area. Achievement of either goal implies the availability of more capacity , for local traffic and parking in downtown Salem. Traffic Within the Heritage Plaza-East project area, most of the streets are narrow one-way streets with parking permitted on one side only, and a single travel lane for traffic. While the nominal capacity of a single lane is 1, 200 vehicles per lane per hour, this capacity must be shared with intersecting streets, making the actual capacity of such single lane streets not more than 600 vehicles per lane per hour. The project area is bounded on three sides by two way arterial streets: Bridge Street on the north, Washington Street on the west, and Derby and New Derby Streets on the south. These streets have parking, both legal and illegal, on both sides , leaving one effective travel lane in each direction. The continuity of this two-way perimeter roadway is broken in the north- east quadrant by the presence of an older residential section where the streets are again one-way. A relatively unobstructed bypass on two-way streets is available via Winter Street, Washington Square and Hawthorne Boulevard, but this alternate is somewhat circuitous. Downtown Salem presents the aspect of a busy regional retail center. Traffic flows are fairly constant throughout . the day with some congestion for short periods during rush hours. This congestion occurs at several key intersections and at the entrances to the largest parking RIMCO, IRC. -5- area. While these delays are annoying, they are not perceptably different from traffic delays experienced in other commercial areas of similar size. When compared with the delays and congestion which occurs in downtown Boston, Salem' s problems in this respect are virtually non-existent. One wonders if traffic delays were significantly alleviated in Salem, whether merchants would complain that not enough traffic was coming downtown. Based on research by the Salem Redevelopment Authority staff, no traffic counts covering the Heritage Plaza- East project area have been completed recently enough I to reflect the traffic patterns which have evolved following the clearance of large portions of the project area and the conversion of these former building sites into uncontrolled open air parking areas. This change has produced nearly 1,000 new parking spaces in the project area and most of these parking spaces i are occupied on a daily basis. A corresponding increase in traffic volumes on local streets can be assumed to have taken place, but as yet no traffic counts are available to confirm this. A series of traffic counts covering the Salem area was made recently under the . TOPICSro ram but this data will not be available P g in final form until late Spring 1972. For the purposes of the present study, namely providing recommendations for schematic alternatives in the circulation system, an estimate of proportional traffic volumes will suffice. A significant percentage of total traffic in the downtown Salem area consists of intra-regional trips between communities adjacent to Salem. Because Salem' s arterial streets are laid out in a radial pattern focused on IRAMC0910c, - r downtown, persons driving from Marblehead to the North- shore shopping center, or from Beverly to Lynn must all pass through downtown Salem. These through trips make up an estimated 40 percent of total trips in downtown Salem. The remaining 60 percent of total trips are estimated to be trips which are local in nature in that they originate and terminate in Salem. Of these trips an estimated 1/6 consist of trips to/from the Heritage Plaza-East project area. The remaining 5/6 are trips to other portions of downtown Salem or trips between two points in Salem via a downtown street. Thus the estimated breakdown of total traffic in downtown Salem is as follows: Traffic to/from Heritage Plaza-East 108 . Local traffic to/from other points in Salem 508 Intra-regional traffic passing through Salem 408 1008 If the redevelopment of Heritage Plaza-East should produce a doubling in the number of trips attracted to the area, which seems unlikely, overall traffic in down- . town Salem would increase, on the basis of the above estimate, by only 10 percent. On the other hand, if an alternate routing were made available which would permit intra-regional traffic to bypass downtown Salem, overall traffic in downtown Salem, even allowing for an increase at Heritage Plaza-East, would decrease to about two-thirds of its present volume. This latter change, 'providing a bypass to permit through traffic to detour around downtown Salem, now appears to be a distinct possibility. Under the state sponsored Boston Transportation Planning Review, a thorough restudy is being made of all proposed improve- ments to highway and transit facilities in greater Boston TRamco, 10C, within the area bounded by circumferential Route 128. This review has led to a rethinking of some traditional highway planning concepts. Originally, the greater Boston highway master plan called for construction of an Interstate highway spur to connect Salem with the proposed continuation of Inter- state 95 through Lynn. Construction of this "Salem Connector" would require acquisition of an entirely new right-of-way through parkland and residential areas, an obstacle which now appears almost insurmountable. A further disadvantage of the "Salem Connector" proposal is that it would attract additional north-south through traffic to downtown Salem. An alternative, which is under active study, calls for construction of a new medium capacity limited access highway designed to siphon intra-regional traffic away from downtown Salem streets. This proposed highway would begin at a new Salem-Beverly bridge, following the Boston and Maine railroad right-of-way to a local interchange near Washington and Bridge Streets and then continue along the branch line right-of-way northwesterly to a connection with Route 128 in Peabody. Improvements to arterial streets in Salem' s southwest quadrant are suggested to permit east-west traffic to bypass downtown streets. This proposal has the advantage of providing easy access to Route 128 from downtown Salem, and of permitting traffic from Beverly and Marblehead to reach Route 128 without passing through downtown Salem. Implementation of this proposal would result in a significant reduction in the amount of traffic utilizing downtown Salem streets and thereby release additional capacity to accommodate anticipated growth in downtown activities. _$_ IRAmco, inc. Solutions to the problem of traffic congestion in downtown Salem should therefore be viewed in relative rather than in absolute terms. To the extent that means of alliviating traffic congestion downtown can be identified and implemented, traffic delays will occur relatively less often. To the extent that decisions to implement changes are delayed or postponed, traffic delays will occur relatively more often. In neither case will anything like a crisis of traffic mobility occur. The worst outcome likely is that some potential -customers would find traffic delays to be inconvenient and so would elect to shop elsewhere. The best possible outcome would be achievement of a situation in which short-term shopper parking was always available and this fact served to attract new business not now attracted to Salem. Parking Prior to, the commencement of parcel acquisition and site clearance by the Salem Redevelopment Authority, parking in downtown Salem was in short supply. As is often the . case in similar older retail areas, public parking was limited to parking at on-street meters, supplemented by a few relatively small metered off-street municipal parking lots. This inventory of metered parking, totaling 350 parking spaces, is detailed in Table 1, on the next page. In addition Almy' s, the principal downtown department store, maintained as it still does, a private shopper parking area accomodating about 150 cars. Thus, the total available supply of parking in the Heritage Plaza-East area, prior to demolition, was about 500 cars.

As buildings have been demolished, the vacant sites have been graded more or less level and have been made available for ad hoc parking pending a decision to proceed with new construction. Table 2 details the inventory of cleared. land now being used as free off- street parking areas. Since these areas are not paved or lined for parking, placement of cars is somewhat random, making it impossible to count the available parking spaces accurately. For this reason, the parking capacity of the cleared area has been estimated on the basis of 300 square feet per car. On this basis, the number of off-street parking spaces in the Heritage Plaza-East area. is an . estimated 1, 315 cars. Added to the 350 metered spaces, this makes a total of 1, 665 parking spaces now available in the Heritage Plaza-East area. In spite of the fact that the supply of available parking spaces has been more than tripled, the present supply of parking is now almost filled, mostly by persons parking all day. Except for the Almy' s parking area, short- ; term parker shopping is still in very scarce supply. The shortage of all-day parking illustrates the very important principle that the demand for free parking in a downtown area is almost unlimited and will tend to increase to match almost any increase in supply which can be made available. The Almy' s lot, which uses an unconventional but sensible pricing policy illustrates the other half of this equation. Parking in the Almy' s lot costs a flat 254 per hour, but the first 254 is refunded to . anyone who takes the trouble to enter the store and request it, regardless of whether -10- TRIMCO, inc.

THIMCO, inc. a purchase is made. Thus parking is effectively free for the first hour but costs 25: for each additional hour. Someone parking for eight hours would pay $1. 75. The net effect is that parking for shoppers is nearly always available in the Almy' s lot. The parking facilities which the developer proposes to provide are detailed in Table 3. A total of 1,100 off- street parking spaces are proposed at five locations, four parking structures and one small surface level parking area. In addition the development plan proposed would require ,elimination of all or nearly all of theparking meters presently in use due to changes in street usage and construction on off-street locations. . Thus, the inventory of parking in Heritage Plaza-East would, under the proposed plan, be reduced from the present level of 1, 665 spaces to 1,100 spaces. An important distinction is the fact that' the 1, 665 spaces are free or virtually free, while there would almost certainly be a fee charged for parking in the proposed .off-street structures. There has been considerable discussion as to whether a parking supply of 1,100 spaces is "enough" to serve the .needs of Heritage Plaza-East, especially since this figure represents a reduction of one-third from the supply of parking which is presently available. It is apparent that there is a very large demand for parking in the Heritage Plaza-East area provided that parking is free. It is equally apparent that charging even a nominal parking fee, such as will be required to justify the cost of constructing parking structures, has the effect of limiting the demand for all day parking.

In the supply and demand equation governing the availability of parking at a reconstructed Heritage Plaza-East, supply is more nearly fixed than is demand. The 1,100 spaces which the developer proposes to construct reflect not the demand which potentially exists for parking, but rather the supply which. it appears feasible to construct. Given the realities of site availability and financing constraints , it may not be practical to devote a greater percentage of the site to parking than is now proposed. Thus, attention should be focused on the demand side of the equation - and on the means available for controlling parking demand. The best means available for the management of parking demand is through the application of parking charges in a constructive manner. The essential element in .marketing a downtown shopping area in competition with a suburban shopping plaza, is that parking always be available for the short-term shopper or visitor. It is not essential that this parking be free, provided that the mix of retail outlets offered is sufficiently unique to be an area-wide attraction. What is essential is that every shopper who sets out to park at Heritage Plaza-East succeed in obtaining a parking space each time he heads for downtown. Only a relatively few reports that there is no parking available will be sufficient to discourage a significant proportion of the potential market from selecting Heritage Plaza-East as the focus of their shopping trips. To maintain availability of parking spaces throughout the day requires adoption of a pricing structure which relates the demand for parking to the supply, . as two parts of the same equation, so that short term shopper parking has priority. RIMCo, Ines -12- V • The pricing formula most frequently utilized by parking structure operators, offers a discount for all day parking. This approach tends not to maximize the gross revenues of the area served by the parking structure and often does not even maximize parking revenues. A typical price structure for off-street parking is 254 for each half-hour with a $2. 00 all day maximum. Since at the short term rate the charge for parking four hours is also. $2. 00 there is no charge (or penalty) for parking longer than four hours but less than ten hours. As a result, off-street parking structures contain a very high percentage of cars which remain all day, and shopper parking remains in short supply. The remedy to this situation is to. end the discout offered for all day parking. As a minimum, the fee charged at a parking structure should be set at a constant rate per hour. Thus, for example, at a fee of 254 per hour, the charge for all day parking would still be $2. 00, but the charge for four hour parking would be only $1. 00 instead of $2. 00 in the example given above. If shopper parking remains in short supply, an alterna- tive approach is to charge a premium for all day parking. Under this approach the parking feeds higher in each subsequent hour than it was in the preceeding hour. For example, the fee could be set at 104 for the first hour, 204 for the second hour, 304 for the third hour, and so forth. This results in the following pattern of parking charges: Hour Fee For This Hour Cumulative Parking Charge 1 104 104 2 204 304 3 304 604 4 404 $1. 00 5 304 1. 50 6 604 2. 10 7 704 2. 80 TRn 8 804 3. 60 RIINCQ,Inc. -13- V This schedule of parking rates has the advantage of offering short-term shopper parking at very low rates , rates which are equal to or less than the cost of parking at a meter. Half day parking is still reasonable in price, but all day parking is discouraged except by carpool members who share the costa The result is that multiple utilization of each parking space is obtained as the number of turnovers increases. The shopping area served by the parking facility benefits as the number of visitors increases. A corollary of the above approach requires that the role of the parking meter in the parking market place be properly understood. Curbside metered parking is demonstrably more desirable to the motorist than is a parking space in an off-street structure. This is true primarily because curbside parking is viewed by the customer as being more convenient. A basic economic principle is that the more desirable product can command a higher price, yet metered parking traditionally has cost less per hour than off-street parking. Parking meters were originally adopted to prevent ,all-day parking by requiring that the motorist return to his car every two hours or face a fine. The intent was to encourage short-term shopper parking. Instead, because the prohibition against "meter feeding" has proven to be virtually unenforcable, parking meters have unintentionally established a priority for parking for persons who arrive downtown early and work close to the meter. This condition will persist as long as metered parking remains cheaper than off-street parking. The remedy, which has been implemented with very satisfactory results in Baltimore, is to raise the cost for metered parking above TRAMCO, Inc■ -14- the cost for off-street parking while maintaining the present two-hour time limit per customer. In Salem, this approach would require that the cost of metered parking be increased to 20G per hour (10C per half .hour; 54 for 15 minutes) . Thus, the price mechanism would be used to enforce the principle that meters should be reserved for shoppers, a principle which has proven unenforcable on an "honor system" basis. While relatively few meters will remain in Heritage Plaza-East once the site is fully developed, early consideration should be given to the development of a coordinated plan for all of the metered parking which is to be retained in the remainder of the downtown area. Transit An in-depth consideration of transit service in Salem is beyond the scope of this report. The proposed new off-street parking structures should be relied upon as the primary means of attracting visitors to Heritage Plaza-East, reflecting the suburban nature of the surrounding market area. However, since the capacity of these facilities is not unlimited, and since the recommended approach to parking prices will tend to discourage all day employee parking, attention should be focused on improving the transit service so as to make it attractive to a greater proportion of the total market than are presently making use of transit service to reach downtown Salem. An extensive network of transit routes serves down- town Salem. Each of the eight major radial streets focusing on downtown Salem is served by one or more IRAmco, mc. -15_ . J bus routes. Table 4, on the next page, describes in summary form the twelve bus routes which serve down- town Salem. The MBTA official transit map does not include coverage of the Salem area, but when the routes listed in Table 4 are plotted on a Salem street map, it is apparent that nearly everyone living within a mile of downtown Salem is within easy walking distance of a bus stop. Transit service in downtown Salem is , if anything, overextended. Salem is also served by the Boston & Maine commuter rail service on the Boston-Lynn-Swampscott-Salem-Beverly route. Since this service is operated under a subsidy contract with the MBTA, the MBTA is responsible for both rail and bus service to Boston, in effect competing with itself. The train fare to Boston is $1. 40 and the trip takes 30 minutes; the bus fare to Boston is 804 and the travel time is 45-55 minutes. This distinctly complicates the relationship between bus and rail by creating what ammounts to First Class and Economy services, both aimed at attracting commuters. There is further no coordination between bus- and rail schedules. The two services are operated as separate and distinct entities. Table 5 summarizes the current Salem - Boston B&M commuter train timetable in effect on Mondays through Fridays. There are 27 weekday trains in each direction. The average headway is 40 minutes, but as the table shows, headways are extreemly variable, ranging from a minimum of five minutes to a maximum of two hours. The present rail schedule, because of its completely irregular headways, makes it mandatory that potential riders be in possession of a printed railroad timetable -16- 11111MCOW IRC' Table 4 SALEM REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY HERITAGE PLAZA-EAST 1 INVENTORY OF BUS ROUTES SERVING DOWNTOWN SALEM Route Principal Street Basic Operator Number Used in Salem Destination (s) Headway (minutes) MBTA 451 Bridge St. (north) Beverly & 6U North Beverly _ MBTA 453 Essex St. (east) Salem Willows 120 MBTA 454 Lafayette St. Marblehead 90 MBTA 455 Loring Avenue Lynn & Boston 30 { Michaud Belt Jefferson Ave. (outbound) Line Canal Street (inbound) 60 MBIA 456 Highland Ave. Lynn 30 MBIA 450 Highland Ave. Boston MBTA 465 Bridge St. (west) Peabody Line 60 Michaud North Bridge ST.

TRamco, inc, before setting our for the station. The irregular headways are not only a marketing liability but also make it almost impossible to coordinate feeder bus schedules with the rail schedule. In the face of a national decline in patronage on rail commuter services, the number of passengers using B&M trains between Salem and Boston has remained nearly constant for almost a decade. Based on a one week survey in October of each year, the average number of weekday passengers traveling from Salem to Boston was 446 in 1963, 426 in. 1965, 419 in 1968 and 431 in 1970. Patronage in 1970 was thus 9796 of the 1963 level of patronage. This lack of decline in rail passenger demand is apparently due to two factors. First, the Salem - Boston commuter rail service serves a corridor where residential development is complete. The number of houses within convenient distance of a commuter rail station has remained almost unchanged for some time. The new housing units proposed for Heritage Plaza-East will represent the first major increase in the supply of housing within walking distance of the Salem station in more tham a decade. Second, as was indicated in an earlier section, the lack of direct highway access between Salem and Boston means that the commuter rail service is still competitive with the best travel times possible by private car. In other corridors where Interstate highways have been constructed parallel to a commuter rail line, rail passenger demand has declined markedly. Salem - Boston remains the only corridor in the greater Boston area where the MBTA competes with itself by operating both commuter rail and bus service to downtown Boston, instead of the usual pattern of routing bus lines to the nearest rail station. This condition RAMCO, IRCO -17- is likelyremain t ore ain unchanged in the forseeable future. In the long run however, plans call for the extension of high speed electrified rapid transit service to Salem. Such a development is probably at least a decade from realization, but when it does occur, Salem will be served by a network of short feeder bus routes connecting on a coordinated schedule with rapid transit trains to Boston. Transit service in Salem would then be operated on much the same basis as the new MBTA extension to Quincy. For the next few years, maintenance of the status quo is about the best that can be hoped for in the case of the commuter rail service. In the case of the bus service, however, a good deal more flexibility is possible. Table 6, following this page, presents the timetables presently in effect for all MBIA routes serving downtown Salem. A review of these schedules makes it apparent that there is little or no coordina- tion of timetables for the ten routes which terminate in downtown Salem. These routes are of two basic types: through routes and local routes. Four of the radial bus routes serving Salem make up two basic through routes. The first is a route from North Beverly and Beverly to .Salem continuing to Boston via Highland Avenue in Salem (MBTA routes 450 and 451) . The second route operates from Danvers to Salem and continues to Lynn and Boston via Loring Avenue in Salem (MBIA routes 455 and 458) . In addition there are four local routes serving Salem: Salem Willows (453) , Marblehead (454) , Oakland St. (457) , and Boston and Aborn St. (465) . These are lightly patronized routes which are operated on infrequent headways. The route to Boston and Aborn St. duplicates a Michaud route to TRam co inc. -18_ Table 6 Page 1 of 4 SALEM REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY HERITAGE PLAZA-EAST SCHEDULES OF MBTA BUS ROUTES SERVING DOWNTOWN SALEM 450 451 'r Q : O I SALEM— BOSTON NORTH BEVERLY — SALEM WEEKDAY SATURDAY via HIGHLAND 8 WESTERN AVES.

An early priority should be the return of Peabody to the MBTA district so as to permit coordinated through routing of intra-regional bus services. Currently the MBTA and the Boston Transportation Planning Review are jointly engaged in a thorough restudy of all MBTA bus routes serving the North Shore area. A final report on recommended changes is to be delivered to the MBTA Board of Directors in early March for possible implementation as of the June 1972 timetable. It would be highly advisable for representa- tives of Salem to present their requests for bus service improvements to the MBIA while the North Shore bus study is still in progress. The kinds of changes in bus service which Salem should request include the following; • Relocation of the bus transfer area in Salem, from its present location at Washington and Federal Street to a new more central location on Washington Street south of Essex Street. • Rescheduling of the two major north-south through routes (MBTA 450/456-451 and 455-458) to provide for a coordinated transfer in downtown Salem with four buses, two northbound and two south- bound, scheduled to meet in Salem half-hourly, either on the hour and half-hour, or at 15 and 45 minutes past each hour. • Re-evaluation of the four local MBTA routes (MBTA 453, 454, 457 and 465) with a view towards either strengthening or eliminating these services which are at present only very lightly patronized. - • Rethinking of MBTA marketing practises in the North Shore area to provide for more informative signing of through routed buses, a printed route map covering all North Shore routes, better availability of printed timetable information, improved bus stop identification and posting of basic timetable information at all bus stops. 111�1MCOF IIIn . -19- TRnm Implementation of the above changes would go a long way toward transforming the present bus system, which is now used only by those too old or too young to drive, into a service which a much broader spectrum of the general public could consider as an alternative to driving downtown. The degree of effectiveness with which changes of the above nature can be implemented has a direct bearing on the supply of off-street parking which will be required to service the needs of the proposed Heritage Plaza-East development. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Based on a review of the data made available during this brief study, our conclusions are as follows: • Provided sound design criteria are utilized for the traffic circulation plan on local streets serving the proposed off-street parking structures , the incremental traffic volumes to be generated by the development proposed for Heritage Plaza-East, will not overtax the capacity of local streets , except for brief periods during peak hours. The cost of eliminating this residual congestion would be excessive. Further, proposed re- routing of intra-regional traffic away from downtown Salem would more then offset the increase in traffic expected to occur as a result of redevelopment. • The supply of off-street parking proposed by the developer will be adequate to meet the needs of Heritage Plaza-East provided that a pricing schedule for parking is adopted which insures that some spaces remain vacant throughout the business day, for use as short term parking. This will be necessary to assure that no shopper who arrives at Heritage Plaza-East will be turned away because the parking structure has no remaining space available. The following recommendations represent traffic and parking components of the overall development plan which should be implemented in order to maximize the impact of the Heritage Plaza-East redevelopment scheme as the focus of a revitalized downtown Salem: • The commercial area of Heritage Plaza-East should focus upon a clearly defined pedestrian street running along a north-south axis and of a con- figuration that is sufficiently simple to be memorized by the first time visitor. • Essex Street, the principal east-west shopping street, should be converted to a walking street with only very limited access by motor vehicles under special controls. As a result, certain ancillary street segments connecting with Essex Street will have no function as traffic movers and should also be converted to walking streets. IRECO, inc. -21- • Either Church Street or Federal Street, but not both, should be closed and converted to other land use so as to create larger blocks. Which street should remain open depends on the final configuration of the two major garage structures and the proposed access to each. • Access to all three of the proposed garage structures should be via clear and direct routes. Each garage structure should be served by different access streets aimed at serving different quadrants of visitor origins , so as to minimize potential vehicular conflicts between adjacent garage structures. • Heritage Plaza-East should be served by a clearly defined perimeter roadway. If at all possible this roadway should provide a two-way circulation pattern and its configuration should be such that it can be memorized by a visitor making his second or third trip to Heritage Plaza- East. lazaEast • The proposed U-shaped loop street based on .Federal Street and a continuation of St. Peter Street should be deleted from the Heritage Plaza- East plan. Rather than-being a perimeter street, this roadway would serve as an interior circulation street and as such would be an unnecessary attraction to traffic for which no equivalent .parking component is now planned. • The pricing of parking in off-street parking garages should tend to favor short term parking by shoppers and tend to discourage all day parking. This can be accomplished either by not offering a discount for all day parking or by assessing a progressive penalty for longer parking stays. Which approach would be appropriate depends upon the market condition at the time the garages are opened and the marketing approach of Heritage Plaza-East vis- a-vis offering very low cost or free parking for the first hour. In the interim, valuable data on the response of motorists to increased parking fees such as will be charged in a structure could be obtained by experimenting with increasing fees at parking meters in the Heritage Plaza-East area to at least 204 per hour. Equally valuable TRamco, IN, -22- data would be obtained by converting Reilly Plaza to a paid parking area on an experimental basis utilizing a fee structure which parallels one of those recommended for Heritage Plaza-East. • Immediate representations should be made to the joint MBTA - BTPR team which is now studying the North Shore bus service pattern, to insure that Salem obtains as much benefit as possible from any restructuring of MBTA bus service. Changes which Salem should seek include relocation of the downtown bus transfer area, rescheduling of the two major north-south through routes to provide for coordinated transfers, re-evaluation of the four MBTA local routes which are lightly patronized, and rethinking of MBTA marketing practices. Heritage Plaza-East represents an unique opportunity to revitalize downtown Salem as an attractive commercial and residential area. Once completed, the project will serve as a magnet capable of attracting additional develop- ment. No similar opportunity has occurred in Salem in this century. While completion of Heritage Plaza-East will tend to solve many of the problems presently of concern in j downtown Salem, the plan should not be required to solve every problem before development is allowed to proceed. It is far more important to seize the present opportunity to correct so many of the outstanding problems by beginning construction as soon as is practical. Focus should be on specific workable solutions to problems of manageable size rather than on continuing confrontation with major imponderables. No aspect of the traffic and parking equation considered suggests that this project should not proceed. 11111MCOW lot -23- URBAN RENEWAL PLAN, HERITAGE PLAZA-EAST URBAb_J-Rf J_F RAFT) INTRODUCTION This Urban Renewal Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan") for the Heritage Plaza- East Urban Renewal Project (hereinafter referred to as the "Project") to be undertaken ! by the Salem Redevelopment Authority (hereinafter referred to as the "LPA" or the t "Authority") in the City of Salem, Massachusetts (hereinafter referred to as the "City") s. a consists of these pages through-A& and the Maps and Exhibits indexed in the Table i of Contents. f This Plan is the legal document which establishes the standards and controls for the redevelopment and renewal of the Heritage Plaza-East Urban Renewal Project.

' Said plan was. adopted by the Authotity,on March 6, - 1972 and`will be subject -to public hearing on March 2l, 1972. Council 4 action should follow immediately. . Upon formaladoption of. the plano rehabilitation requirements will. be given to owners with'.a specified .period. (30 days), for action.

Simultaneously, -other properties presently owned by the Salem Redevelopment Authority: will be offered for •sale• to-intereatedt_eligibie- ' firm's or individuals subject to code rehabilitation requirements.- ; At your request a member of the development team^will contact.you to discuss new construction potentials with you.

ROGERS 140 Essex Street Salem Massachusetts 01970 Making fashion history in historic Salem February 17, 1972- Salem Redevelopment Authority 60 Washington Street Salem*, Massachusetts 01970 Attention* John Barrett, Executive Director Gentlemen& I am writing you this letter- in an anxious effort to find out what sort of plans I can make for location of the business of L. H. Rogers, Inc., I feel' that I am entitled to be given in writing-some sort of a timetable as well as, an indication. of the alternatives open to me As you know L. H. Rogers., Inc;. is a ladies clothing- store which sells to a very High qualitied clientele and it is,. F: feel,' the sort of establishment which Salem should value" The business was founded in 1925 by my father. I have. been operating it for twenty years,` during which time its gross has increased ten fold and its clientele have come from an increasingly wide area: The building is now too small for the busineew and at the same time the taking and dismantling, of property for urban redevelopment has not only limited an opportunity for expansion but has put the tuilding on the edge of a wasteland and created an undesirable environment for customers.. It is fruitless to invest any further- in the present building- as your plans indicate it will be torn down: It is uneconomic, to make even necessary capital improvements. There is inadequate room for personnel and customers, and the decor has deteriorated more than should be sensibly permitted-.` For example, new air conditioning, is needed.' The business is in danger- of losing the more desirable type of customers, and its profit margin had- shrunk. Salem Redevelopment Authority Salem, Massachusetts 01970 February 17, 1972 L.H. ROGERS 140 Essex Street Salem Massachusetts 01970 Making fashion history in historic Salem I have been one of the few businessman willing to invest in this area but, as you know, I have been caught up in the Authority' s larger development plans and have been unable to make any headway with the Authority. I was In fact in substantial agreement with the Authority last year, after over a year of negotiations, during which I incurred sizable legal and architectural expenses, but my proposed arrangement was pulled back when the Board completely revised its Development Plans. Accordingly, I submitted new bids for the site presently occupied by my own building and for the Bowker Block. This bid was submitted several months ago. There has been no action on it, although I am told that my present site must be used for access to new buildings, thus leaving the Bowker Block. If I were given immediate authority to restore this building I am sure that I could have the work done by the fall, but at the present time I have been unable to get any firm plans. I realize that the Board is concerned with the larger plans for the area, but I submit that this should not justify continuation of the terrible hardships my business is suffering. I therefore request that I be advised in writing of the alternatives available to me (with priority on the Bowker Block building) , together with an outline of steps to be taken and a timetable for carrying out such steps. I am asking that a copy of this letter be given to each member of the Board, to underscore the earnestness and indeed urgency of my request. I will very much appreciate your attention to this matter.

McGRATH The Salem Redevelopment Authority has scheduled a meeting with the Planning Board on Tuesday evening March 14, 1972 at 7:30 P.M. at the Essex Institute to discuss changes in the plan for the Heritage Plaza- East project. Although it is recognized that a council committee meeting conflicts with this schedule, an invitation is extended to any Councillor not involved on Tuesday evening to join with the Authority and the Planning Board. A conference between the Salem Redevelopment Authority and the Salem City Council has been scheduled through the cooperation of Council President Richard B. O'Keefe on Thursday evening March 16, 1972 at 7:30 P.M. at the Essex Institute. At this time changes in the renewal plan will be explained and questions answered. If you, as a City Councillor, desire at any time at your convenience as to place or time to discuss the plan on an individual basis, please contact this office (744-6900) and a meeting will be arranged. In this manner, individual questions may be answered in greater detail. A questions has been raised relative to the necessity for a public hearing. Since the action is a plan change, rather than the adoption of a new plan, there is no statuatory requirement - either federal or state - for a public hearing. However, the regional office of the Dept, of H.U.D. has advised that it would be in the best interest for any community to hold a public hearing. Respectfully yours, John W.

Not known how long it would take for D.C.Ae approval. In the meantime, when the Planning Board takes its action, they can vote to advertise for the zoning change (14 days advertising for the Planning Board). �JL� This carries us to the 31st of March or 21st of April, or 14 days after W special meeting. They have 20 days to make their report to the Council. Wfim the Council canveztise for a public hearing. The Planning Board could vote the same night as the hearing. Then before the plan change becomes fd f44 effective, it goes to the Attorney General, BY May lot we could have a new urban renewal plan, an amendatory to the corn_ prehensive plan and a now zoning ordinance. Proclaimer -- Certify that the governing body of the Municipality was notified at least 14 days prior to the adoption of the plan change.; that we are in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Workable Program; and �-i�� the Municipality regarding zoning changes. If we do not "- proclaim the change, we have to follow normal HUD procedures. We would adopt the plan change and then forward it to HUD. It would not have legal affect until we received HUD concurrence. If we go by the Proclaimer route it should be legal when we adopt it. Once you use the Proclaimer, you can dispose of land. Construction b Jul 15th? -- Two things we can do: 1. Start to rehab buildings we own 2. Construction of open areas To do either of these we have to have budget, etc. before we can start. When asked how quickly he could have these, Bob Kerr said 30 - 45 days -- rough draft two weeks. To do this he needs estimated costs of rehabilitating buildings for the budget. Than the amendatory goes to HUD. As soon as we get budget approval, we can start operating. This should take just a reasonable amount of time. Page 3 Would it be possible to have bids - constructions start by July 13th - yes. Open areas -- Could Collins and Whitman & Howard have everything ready so that we can start July 1Sth? The only area ;igbt now is the St. Peter Street corner because Whitnan & Howard do not enter into this. We could demolish the North Shore Diner, reroute tra�i into the NauDkewg Trust Drive- Bank and then ea this area.

Planning Aide Salem Redevelopment Authority 60 Washington Street Salem, Mass. 01970 Dear Mr. Edwards: At a meeting o-drour Council held on June 7 it was decided to accept with gratitude the proposal of the Salem Redevelopment Authority that the Essex Institute accept the information collected by the SRA concerning the commercial structures remaining within the boundaries of the Urban Renewal Project area which are to be rehabilitated, either in bulk or on microfilm made at the expense of the federal government, when the project is completed and the Heritage Plaza-East Urban Renewal Project is closed out. We believe that this information will be useful to future historians and that the Essex Institute is the most appropriate place for it. We have severe limitations of space, as you know, so this will have to be considered when the transfer of materials is made. The Council joins me in expressing our thanks to the SRA for. this fore- sighted proposal. Sine r ly yo David B.

Noonan 4 Fairview Avenue Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Dear Mr. Noonan: Thanks for the courtesy of talking with me on the telephone Thursday afternoon. I want to sell the City of Salem our professional services in two parts: first, in your department, a public relations program about the on-going project regarding the historic concept of what is being done to the national press. Secondly, in the Mayor's department, I would like to convince him about a modest tourist advertising program. We work with the City of Lawrence and the Development Authority as well as the City of Gloucester for tourist and development and the Town of Ipswich for their tourist advertising. We know our way around and in some cases are able to find government money to complete a public relations project. Needless to say, those funds, while in the name of a city or town, are kept under my thumb for the purpose they were intended for. While you have nothing now, I would appreciate your remembering our company when the occasion arises. Very truly, __Crawley & Company Incorporated 1 14 Norman R.

Barrett Executive Director Salem Redevelopment Authority Sixty Washington Street Salem, Massachusetts 01970 • Dear Mr. Barrett : It was a pleasure to meet you last Friday and to learn that Salem' s urban redevelopment is actively progressing. I repeat my interest in learning of future urban projects which may be sponsored by your Authority. Si erely,, Robert Fraser RBF:jmc Dear------ The Salem Redevelopment Authority wishes to congratulate the development team of Mondev Corp. , Ltd. , Aldrich Associates, and R. M. Bradley d Co. , Inc. , on meeting the first deadline under the terms of their tentative designation for development of the Heritage Plaza-East urban renewal project (Mass. R-95). The Letter of Intent setting forth the agreed terms of designation provided that the developers would input and agree upon Density, circulation and land use within one month from the date of designation. This has been done in a manner that meets the approval of the members of the Salem Redevelopment Authority and, I am sure, the City as a whole. As we enter the next phase under the tentative designation, it is the understanding of the Salem Redevelopment Authority that Mr. Bruce Pickersgill of Mondev has been appointed to coordinate and control all aspects of the project and the resources and individuals of each of the developers as they relate to this project. Therefore, from this point forward, the Salem Redevelopment Authority will deal only through Mr. Pickersgill who will be fully acquainted with all the efforts of the Salem Redevelopment Authority. Similarly, the Salem Redevelopment Authority will expect Mr. Pickersgill to have operational control over all aspects and personnel involved in the project from the developers' side. All inquiries and activities will be coordinated through Mr. Pickersgill so that he will be aware at all times of any actions pro- jected or taken by the Salem Redevelopment Authority and the developers. SRA by TJN, CHAIRMAN WJT, VICE-CHAIRMAN JWB, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR J This letter is to confirm that until changed by vote of the Salem Redevelopment Authority, any activities of the development team of Mondev Corp. , Ltd. , Aldrich Associates and R. M. Bradley Co. , Inc. in regard to the Heritage Plaza-East urban renewal project are being carried out on the basis of the acceptance of a tentative designation made under the terms of a letter of intent voted by the Salem Redevelopment AuthiDxity on January 6, 1972 and attached hereto (see also letter of intent dated January 4, 1972 also attached). Mondev Corp., Ltd., Aldrich Associates and R. M. Bradley Co. , Inc having given assent both orally and in writing, as evidenced by the signatures on the attached letter and a letter of January 5, 1972 addressed to Mayor Zoll, also attached. Any changes or variations from these original terms can come only from an agreement between the Developers and the Salem Redevelopment Authority, formalized by a vote of the Salem Redevelopment Authority. It does not appear to the Salem Redevelopment Authority that there can be any dispute as to the basic principle^ that all past, present and future activities of the developers are founded in the tentative designation made on the terms voted by the Salem Redevelopment Authority. It is the clear understanding of the Salem Redevelopment Authority that all expenses and costs of the developers incurred in the Salem project will be borne only by the developers and not under any condition by the Salem Redevelopment Authority or the City of Salem. Furthermore, it is the understanding of the Salem Redevelopment Authority that if the developers are not given a final designation as developers of the Salem urban renewal project upon signing a land disposition agreement because of their failure to live up to the attached letter of intent or because a mutually satisfactory land disposition agreement cannot be entered into, the developer will have no claim or recourse against the Salem Redevelopment Authority or the City of Salem and all relationships shall be terminated without any liability on the part of the Salem Redevelopment Authority or the City. * HERITAGE PLAZA-EAST SALEM R JOHN W. 6ARRETT .

The City of Salem has engaged a planner, Mr. Gregory Senko, whose " function will be to analyze the existing master plan of the City of Salem and to undertake such studies as are necessary to bring this report up to " current conditions in the City of Salem. The Salem Redevelopment Authority is studying the proposal for access If to the Central Businesss District and the City in relationship to the urban renewal pian and has already had made available to it a study of the economic potentials of the Central Business District. Traffic studies are presently being undertaken by both the Salem Redevelopment Authority and the Consultant for the Developers of the Heritage Plaza-East project and, in addition to this, traffic studies are being done by THE TOPICS PROGRAM under a federal grant. Changes in the urban renewal plan will reflect recommendations made to the Salem Redevelopment Authority on tourism in the City and the Salem t4 Redevelopment Authority is not only looking at the area presently under the urban renewal plan but is looking outside the urban renewal area as well as we refine the urban renewal plan.
