Signature Name and Title Corporation Date 30 Federal Street ULA` �`� Unit 11 Salem, Massachusetts 01970 June 21, 1982 City of Salem Department of Public Works One Salem Green Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Gentlemen: My husband and I recently purchased a condominium at 30 Federal Street. We are personally concerned, and several other residents have expressed their concern to us, about the poor condition of the area between the end unit of the condominium and the brick walkway running between 20 and 30 Federal Street. According to Jeffrey Stern, the project developer, this small area (outlined in red on the attached "rough" illustration) , is the property of the City of Salem and it is the City' s responsibility to maintain it. His contention, I believe, is supported by the following facts: (a) the existence of a municipal street light on the property (similar to those appearing throughout the Essex Street Pedestrian Mall area) ; (b) the existence of a concrete trash containef. (also, the same type as those appearing throughout the Essex Street Pedestrian Mall area) ; and (c) the property on the 20 Federal Street side of the brick walkway (running between the walkway and the fence which is planted with grass and flowering trees) is the property of the City of Salem. At the present time, the piece of property adjacent to the brick walkway on the 30 Federal Street side consists of dirt and weeds . The brick walkway is subject to a substantial amount of pedestrian traffic and the unfinished area has become the site for the accumulation of trash and broken glass. Additionally, the area is unattractive, especially in comparison to the other areas adjacent to the City' s brick walkway which are pleasantly landscaped and well maintained. Salem Department of Public Works June 21, 1982 Page Two We request that this area be landscaped in keeping with the City ' s treatment of the 20 Federal Street side of the walk- way. This "finishing" will remove the hazards caused by the debris and broken glass, and will serve to make the entire brick walkway area an aesthetically pleasing one. We would appreciate your response to this area of concern. Please feel free to correspond with me if I can be of any assistance.

It now appears that Salem businesses have contributed a full $4,000 for the production of the poster. I would like to confirm our recent conversation in which we agreed that the $4,000 be returned to the Redevelopment Authority as poster sales proceed. Just as you would like to create a "revolving fund" to further the Urban Design Citation concept, so would we like to expand on our promotional efforts. I would also.hope (perhaps prematurely) that when and if the Salem poster goes on to its second and third printing, we might continue to get a return on Salem's in— vestment. I would like to work out an arrangement soon, because I am confident that poster sales will be booming. Thanks again for your efforts, and thanks to the B.S.A. for their interest in Salem.

First: The City drain lines were dry on these dates, by observation. Second: The City sewerage lines servicing the area were flowing freely by observation. When you were advised in 1980 that your resaurant had inadequate grease traps and discharge lines, the cellar area had sump pumps, clearly indicating the real possibility of ground water intrusion. A portion of the cellar is unpaved and the presence of sewage odor was heavy on the dates you refer to. There is also evidence that the building roof drain system is connected to the sewerage system, an illegal condition. The fact that internal plumbing work was done does not address the condition, or sizing, of your sewer lateral - an owner responsibility. In view of these factors, I can not support your claim.

Your descriptions and assurances concerning the continued revitalization of the downtown area will be very helpful to us in arriving at a decision. As you may recall, there was also considerable concern ex- pressed about the availability of parking for both Welfare Department clients and employees . Our plans call for an approximate doubling of the number of clientele and em- ployees that are presently coming into the area. I am, of course, aware that the downtown Salem area presently houses a very significant number of Federal, State, County, and Municipal agencies that serve a wide variety of citizens in the Salem/Peabody geographic area. In terms of parking considerations, it would be very helpful to know if any of the other public agencies have been able to work out re- duced costs or guaranteed parking availability for clien- tele or employees; or if such concepts are now under active consideration. Thank you again for your expert assistance, and I would appreciate any further information that you could give me on parking concerns . \ cj_ � R Very truly yours, �c S�' E; .cCarthy C/ \� CSAO Director, Salem EJM/nc e Salem Redevelopment 44-6900 Authority ONE SALEM GREEN, SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS 01976 TELEPHONE 744-4580 May 20, 1981 Mrs. Joan Boudreau 407 Lafayette Street Salem, Mass. 01970 Dear Joan: Heritage Plaza-East is near completion and Heritage Plaza-West is well underway.

It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to let you know that the Boston Society of Architects has selected the City of Salem as the Urban Design Citation recipient for 1981. The successful revitalization of your city's center illustrates a broad range of urban design issues including historical preservation, integration of new businesses in harmony with the older surrounding residential neighborhoods, introduction of a pedestrian precinct, and the construction of new living units in the heart of the city. We propose to organize a presentation of this award at a ceremony to take place in Salem next September on a mutually agreed date. We hope that both the City and the Salem Chamber of Commerce will co-sponsor this event. Would you please designate a person in your administration with whom Lowell Erickson, our Director, could discuss specific details and make arrangements to prepare this event. At this time I wish to extend my congratulations to you from the Boston Society of Architects. Yours sincerely, v Earl R. Flans ur h, FAIA President The Boston Society of Architects Brett-Pat _LTb.

We at the bank have long supported the beautification effort in Salem and particularly along the mall. We will in fact again this year participate in Operation Green Sweep. My problem is that nowhere do I see anything about the deplorable condition of the mall as it pertains to papers, bottles, etc. It seems to me that with the tremendous amount of dollars and effort that went into creating the mall we would all be more conscious of trying to find a way to maintain it in a better condition. We here at the bank would be willing to participate in any form of regular clean up of the mall area and wish you would consider a program of that nature. Very truly yours, Thomas M.

The Salem Redevelopment Authority has appointed a Design Review Board (7 members) to review all plans for new construction, rehabilitation and.new signs contemplated within the urban renewal areas, Heritage Plaza-East and Heritage Plaza-West. Design Criteria for new construction and rehabilitationaFi s-Ue—en in- corporated into the Urban Renewal Plan. The Authority has also adopted a Sign Manual as part of the Plan and quide- lines for presentation to the Design ReviewBoard were established for the design review process. In order to assist the business community in the preparation of a new sign, the Authority authorized the printing of a "Sign Language" brochure which we have found to be most helpful and have had many requests for a copy of same from all over the Country. The City has not adopted a facade ordinance, as such. However, the Authority has, during the implenentation of the Heritage Plaza-East and West projects, pur- chased facade easements from developers in order to insure the building facade rehabilitation work has been acccnplished to the satisfaction of the SBA's design criteria and to provide financial incentives to the developer.

The specific complaints are the abuses by contractors, employees and customers concerning the flagrant parking of trucks and cars near and on the front entrance of the Mall. We find this not only detrimental to the safety of all involved, to say nothing of the unattractive appearance, as well as creating the impression that we are not open for business and are still in the state of construction. To date, there has been very little business in the Mall and the above violations only rub salt in the wound. I would appreciate it if your company and the City of Salem would correct the above parking abuses. Sincerely, MARK & COMPANY P I. Cohen President MIC:pp Z� THE MALL AT CHESTNUT HILL CRIMSON GALERIA.

Congressman John Brademas; Majority Whip of the House of Representatives, and I discussed this project in detail with Robert Baker, Chairmaii of the Board of Directors of Magus, in Washington last week. I not only find it to be an exciting and innovative idea, but moreover, I believe it is an economically viable concept which will have considerable impact on the success of Salem' s downtown revitalization. The construction and operation of a working theatre would not only promote the development of the arts on the North Shore and provide an interesting new tourist attraction - but it would encourage the development of support businesses, draw individuals into the downtown area in the evening, and enhance the current redevelopment efforts in that section of the city. I hope that you will give Mr. Baker' s proposal your most careful review and I respectfully request you to assist him in any way possible. I remain available to discuss this matter with you at your convenience.

We assime, that after having met with you on two occasions, you are, aware of our concern and our insistance that no action be taken until we have a legal and bind- ing document giving St. Peter's the right to review and prevent any new or additional requests Cor liquor licences, within the 500 foot area, having once waived our right. hie realize the importance of acquiring a committment from such an impressive establishment as the proposed "Alfredo's of home," and we share your concern for the development of the dcwntown area.

In the almost four months intervening, we have not received from you any reply to or acknowledgement of our letter, and no response to our invitation for a meeting. After having waited four months for a reply from you and having none, we are not agreed that a special urgent meeting Is necessary at this time despite the urgency whichGand another member of your committee have stressed to Father Macy, 'We do, however, repeat our invitation of four months ago to meet with the Vestry and make it very specific this time, for you or some other representative of your board to meet with us at our regular stated meeting on October 14, 19759 at 8:00 PM in the Griswold Room, which is on the second floor of St. Peter's Parish House.

Webster First Universalist Society 6 Rust Street Salem, Mass. 01970 Dear Rev. Webster: Thank you for the opportunity afforded Mr. Bowman and myself to discuss with you various aspects of the renewal program. Of paramount concern is the favorable reaction of your Church and its Trustees to developments scheduled to occur in the area beneath the East India Garage. The major developer, the Salem Corporation, in its leasing program desires to lease space for restaurants that will serve liquor as an adjunct to their business. Since your Church is located within 500 feet of the property in question, it will be necessary for approval of your Trustees ' in order to grant any license. A letter to the Salem Licensing Board (c/o the Salem Redevelopment Authority) indicating approval of granting said license would be appreciated. The Salem Redevelopment Authority would also like to formally close two unused streets to the east of your Church. Said streets are Ash Street Ct. and North Court. The New England Telephone Company is in the process of acquiring a small parcel of land (north of their present building) from the Redevelopment Authority so that they may rearrange their parking service area and take access to their property from St. Peter Street rather than from Ash Street. Neither Ash Street or Rust Street are included in this contemplated closing. Concur- rence in this action would be appreciated. CHAIRMAN VICE.CHAIRMAN TREASURER ASST. TREASVRER MEMBER WILLIAM J.

These means of access were explained to Dr. Webster previously and we assured him that such access would be available. Otherwise, the greenway system would not be available for general vehicular traffic since it is designed primarily for pedestrian use. The attached map delineates the areas mentioned above.

The land in question is currently awned by the Redevelopment Authority, and is designated parcel RC-1D located on Federal. Street. The Authority has agreed to sell this parcel to a developer; and has allowed the developer to proceed with the construction of a foundation to ex- pedite the construction of a mixed use building. This matter was sent to the Land Court some six months ago. Since then, the City has redefined the boundaries of two streets in order to comply with the Court's requests. After these months of delay, I respectfully ask that the Land Court ex- pedite this work. Further delays will have a serious detrimental effect on Salem's continuing revitalization.

This handbook would illustrate with photographs and drawings the theories involved in good signage. The copy would be kept to a minimum. The handbook would refer not only to the manual of the Urban Renewal plan but would illustrateThe Ordinance Relating to Signs and Billboards of the Planning Department . The foreword would include a general explanation of the reasons for the sign ordinances . ORDER OF WORK The project would be completed in this order: 1 . Submit rough copy draft and comprehensive layout showing photos and illustrations for approval . 2. Submit revised copy and layout for approval before typesetting and mechanical preparation for printing. 3. Submit salt print before going to press . 4. Delivery of printed piece. In order to expedite the project it would be preferable to work with one member of the Board who would be given the authority to review,.the work as it progresses and give final approval at each stage. COST ESTIMATES: The following estimate is based on producing a 36 page 82"x 8" two color, saddle stitched brochure including design/concept , layout, typography, photostats , conversion of color photos to B&W prints and camera-ready mechanicals for printing. Additional work such as a requested increase in scope or revisions to previously approved work would be billed on a time and materials basis in addition to the fee already established. Our price to accomplish this and to print a quantity of 2500 would be $6279 . Our price for 5000 is$7554 . I hope this gives you the information you require and that if you choose to proceed with the project we can start on it almost immediately.

The estimated change in price would be approximately $800 .00 less than originally proposed for 2500 of each of the remaining two brochures and $1015 . 00 less for 5000 of each of the remaining two brochures . If you have any questions, please call us . e sincere Helen C. Baldwin Bald sign 47 Warren Street.Salem.Massachusetts 01970 SWC-117 Mr . Christopher Olney Project Director Salem Redevelopment Authority 1 Salem Green Salem, MA. 01970 February 3, 1978 Dear Chris , During our meeting on January 10 , 1978 with you, Greg Senko of the Planning Department , and Janet Parker of the Chamber of Commerce . it became obvious , as the needs of each group were expressed, that the original concept .of a 16 page sign handbook describing the theories of good signage was insufficient . What was needed was some kind of combination of sign handbook , plus the "Ordinance Relating to Signs and Billboards" for the City of Salem and the "Sign Manual" from the S .R.A. Plan. This would be the most efficient use of the combined funds from the S .R.A. , the Planning Department and the Chamber of Commerce. With this in mind, we submit the following proposal : SCOPE We would design a "package" of three brochures , each having a design and subject relationship to the others but functioning separately as needed. fhe sign handbook would illustrate in photographs , the theories involved in good signage. The copy would be kept at a minimum, ie: captions and a summarizing paragraph or two . The Planning Department brochure containing the "ordinance Rela- ting to Signs and Billboards" would be a new setting of existing copy for easier readibility and reuse of existing illustrations . We would add summarizing copy as needed and references to the other two brochures . The S .R.A. "Sign Manual" would be reset using existing copy and art work with whatever additional copy is necessary so that it relates to the other two brochures . :. ORDER OF WORK The job would be completed in this order: 1 . Design and layout the three brochures and submit compre- hensives and copy for approval . 2 . Have copy set in type and complete mechanicals and submit for approval . 3 . Submit salt prints for final approval . 4 . Delivery of printed material . At the completion of each phase, we would require approval from each of i,the directors of the S .R.A. , Planning Department , and the Chamber of Commerce . Cost estimates would be affirmed as the job progresses . COST ESTIMATES Our price to accomplish kthis would be $3438 . 00 . This includes design and layout comprehensives , typesetting, copywriting, photostats, camera ready mechanicals , conversion of color slides to black and white and does not include tthe cost of any printing. Additional work, such as a requested increase in scope or revisions to previously approved work would be billed T on a time and materials basis in addition to the fee already established. PRINTING COST ESTIMATES Thee5.t-im . ted cost of printing 2500 of each of the three brochures; is 719 . 0. For 5000 of each of the three brochures , the esti cost is $3815 .00. As a point of comparison, if 4ythe three brochures were combine ft, make one large brochure, the estimated cost for 2500 is 2463 . 00 and for 5000 is $3567 . 00 . I hope this gives you the information you require and if you decide to pursue the project with us.we would confirm the scope of work before proceeding. 1 ry sincerel I Helen C.

The lease calls for the token payment of $1.00 for the rental of the lot. This approach seemed to make sense because of the short time involved; and be- . cause of the cost that the Lessor will bear to operate the lot. However, it is not the Authority's desire to allow the possibility of a "windfall" profit for the Lessor, as remote as that possibility might seem. Therefore, it is suggested that any profits in excess of 10% be turned over to the Authority on a monthly basis. At the end of each month, please submit a statement to the Authority indicating the proceeds and costs associated with the operation of the lot. Finally, as stipulated in the lease, proof of your insurance coverage must be supplied. Thank you for your cooperation. V tru y Y Ch 'stopher G.

For all of the many reasons previously cited to all of you, the use of this area by the customers of-the Downtown Merchants remains critical and that situation has not changed.

Lincoln, Mass. 01773 June 6. 1978 Mayor Jean Levesque City Hall Salem, Mass. 01970 Dear Mayor. Levesquer I am concerned that the development of Parcel RC-11B,betwesn Derby Square and Central Street will not only result in a - loss of parking spaces for the Derby Square-Front Street Central Street business community, but also that the devel- opment itself will aggravate that loss. Salem, which has suffered competitively for lack of parking, and then spent millions of local and federal dollars to correct that problem (not to mention private investment), could be re-creating the slams situation by overdeveloping and under-parking. I understand very well the desirability of development on that parcel, but I also believe, objectively as well as subjectively. that parking should not be sacrificed for that development. Fortunately, there is a compromise possible. . and I am confident that the creative talents which have restored Salem can sculpt form out of this conceEots that parking and development be required on Parcel RC-11B either as a parking deck with a building utilizing air rights, or a building on stilts over a levels) of parking, or a comb- ination of the two. In any of these cases the purchase price of the land coils be adjusted to reflect the additional cost of construction, or a lease/purchase plan could he worked out to provide both protection and an incentive for the developer. That site.;needs more than a humdrum solution for the. sake of development alone. It deserves the special attention, creativity and imagination which a design competition could bring out, and q I suggest that as a means of obtaining the best solution and the best developer and the best development, { I am sending copies of this letter to various City officials i' the hope and expectation that these suggestions will spark a coordinated effort to see how they can be carried out. rdially, Morton H.

MONGAN Commissioner May 23, 1978 Christopher Olney, Executive Director Salem Redevelopment Authority One Salem Green Salem, Massachusetts 01970 Dear Chris: I want, first of all, to thank you for allowing me to go through your files on the various contracts that the Salem Redevelopment Authority has had with Mondev so that I could determine which may be most useful to us. As I explained to you, I have contacted a number of different cities where Mondev has operated and, for that matter, cities where other developers have been involved, in order to try to get portions of applicable contracts which might be useful to us in the event that the City of Manchester decides to proceed with the project and if it decides to select Mondev as the redeveloper. There are certain portions of the material you have that would be useful to me in that event, and they are broken down in two groups. The first group was within a folder of the type which hangs on metal rails inside a file cabinet and within that folder were two manila folders. Each page that I am interested in having has a check mark in the upper right hand corner that I made. The main things are as follows: 1. There is a Land Disposition Agreement on a HUD form that is dated Dec. 22, 1972, between the Salem Redevelopment Authority and the Third Heritage Group. If I may, I would like photocopies of pages 15 through 36, inclusive, plus a modified Schedule B dated Feb. 18, 1975, consisting of one page; Schedule b consisting of two pages; Schedule C, consisting of one page; Schedule A, one map that's approximately 8-1/2" x 11"; Schedule D, Rehabilitation Works Schedule, consisting of one sheet; and the modified Schedule E, undated, consisting of one sheet. Also, a letter of intent dated Feb. 23, 1972, which consists of four legal size sheets; a letter from the SRA to Ransen, dated June 27, 1974, notifying them they are in default; and a letter of SRA to Ransen dated Feb. 21, 1975. I would also like a copy of the Agreement dated Jan. 14, 1977, and a Modi- fication of Contract dated 14, January 1977. That is all of the material that is in the folders. 2 . There was another group of material packaged together with an elastic band Christopher Olney, Exec. Dir. - 2 - May 23, 1978 and, if possible, I would like copies of these items which are also checked: An Agreement dated Jan. 11, 1977, between SRA and a third group, consisting of five pages; a Lease dated Jan. 14, 1977, (the first five pages); a Construction Agreement dated July 14, 1976, between SRA and the third group; and an Operating Agreement dated July 14, 1976, between the SRA and the third group. As I told you, I would be most happy to pay for the cost of photocopying these documents. If you cannot see your way clear to provide them, I would greatly appreciate having at least the material that relates to the disposition agreement, all of the schedules, the letter of intent, and the other two letters that were metnioned in the beginning.

The construction of a new building on the corner will greatly improve the . appearance of the area, with work anticipated to begin in the very- near future. However, the proposed development of parcel RC-10 has focused attention on the remaining vacant land along Liberty Street, which is currently occupied by a dumpster and parked automobiles. Therefore, I must ask what plans you have to develop or improve the appearance of this land, and whether you would be willing to cooperate with the Redevelopment Authority and the Marine Arts Gallery in a joint effort to plan and undertake appropriate landscaping for the area.

While this modification to the building may be required, the proposed change must be approved by the Salem Redevelopment Authority. I respectfully request that your architect present the design modifications to the Design Review Board at its next meeting, which will be held on Wednesday, May 10, 1978 at One Salem Green. I assure you that requirements imposed by other agencies, as well as cost limitations, will be taken into account. However, as the Salem Redevelopment Authority is about to negotiate final plans for high quality market housing on the vacant land across from the Courthouse, it is vital that the visual quality of the area be protected. I must also ask that the County fulfill its promise to place cobblestones { in the tree pits located on Church Street. The open pits are unsightly and will iassuredly collect both weeds and litter through the summer months. I hope that these matters will receive prompt attention. Ve ly yours, G Christopher G.

Many of the group mentioned to me their gratitide for your generosity with your time and your explanations to their questions. The quality of housing in Salem as well as the community' s vitality inspired the group in many further discussions throughout the week. The concerns for community life and community pride are important elements evident in your city that were often recalled by the group. I believe our time with you contributed in making the study tour a success. The size and history of Salem make it an appropriate model for Atlantic Canada. We were sorry you were unable to attend our closing get- together but hope we can reciprocate your hospitality in the future. Thank you again for your easy and clear directions to King' s Lynne.

The plans were developed by Mondev International Ltd. Knowing that you have been involved with this redeveloper, we are requesting that you assist us by providing information which will enable us to negotiate a contract with Mondev. First, we would greatly appreciate your sending us a copy of the agreement executed by and between your agency and Mondev. If you used the standard form of HUD contract, we would only be interested in Part I (HUD-6209A) which is modified to the extent that the agency deems necessary and desirable and not contrary to HUD policy. Secondly, we are particularly interested in what form of financial security was provided to assure the satisfactory completion of the services. Any related information which you believe would guide us in negotiating a satis- factory contract would be greatly appreciated. Please be assured that we will be most happy to reimburse you for any costs which you might incur in supplying the information requested. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Bal lou : As you may recall in the spring of 1974 you so graciously hosted a Canadian Housing Design Council group from St . John ' s , Newfoundland on a tour of your area . Mr . Beaton ' Sheppard who then acted as tour leader has kindly shared with me his report with its many comments on your, enthusiasm and hospitality towards that group . The Council is again sponsoring a study tour for an inter- disciplinary group of housing decision makers from the four Atlantic provinces to the New England area . The purpose of this tour again will .be : a ) to visit people and places of interest . b ) to see what has been done or is being planned which would have application to the Atlantic Drovinces . c ) to expose the group to new ideas and new standards . The group however will be much larger than the last , consisting of 25- 30 people from Newfoundland , New Brunswick , Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island . The tour will take place April 17 - 21 . As far as I know there will be no people on the proposed tour that were in the St . John ' s group . CHDC is primarily interested in the group seeing " recycled" housing as well as new "affordable " developments . It is important that the group meet not only architects , but politicans , business people , builders , etc . Your assistance and hospitality to the previous group as well as that of Mr . William Tinte and Mr . Robert Kerr was appreciated by all . Your time and effort helped make the past tour an extremely interesting , useful and important experience . In order to plan this coming tour most effectively , Mr .

Lincoln, Mass. 01773 -- April 17. 1978 �aleib,Redevel pment Authority One Salem Greene Salem, Mass: 019 0- Attn¢ Christopher Olney Executive Director Dear Chris; I have discussed with you my concern for the future of the Derby Square-Central Street Parcel, and I would like to reiterate that concern to you and the Authority. I have become convinced again that the most appropriate use of the Parcel is short term parking for shoppers. I say "again" because I believed originally that such was the case, and I have now come back to that opinion after reconsidering it for a short time. Here are MY reasons.. First, the site is surrounded on all sides by businesses and other important downtown activities. Its centrality is even more strategic and important than it was in the original plan because of the restored buildings which abut it. (I must inject parenthetically that its present performance as a parking area does not rebut my position. Its current oper- ation does not encourage active use and is therefore not a test of its potential. The lot needs to be priced differently, paved, made more attractive, advertised, have its traffic flow controlled better, and it needs to be attended by a person not a computer.) Secondly, I am quite apprehensive about the entire supply of parking for the downtown and particularly its allocation and usage with respect to all day and short term customers. I do not foresee that problem being resolved easily for many reasons, a discussion of which would overburden this letter. I believe I can say categorically that every other parcel in the project area is now or will shortly be committed for - development, and therefore the Central Street Parcel is the only one which can still be retained for parking. My third reason is the conviction that the best use of the Parcel is not development, but parking. You may demur "perhaps, but do not its east and west sides require buildings to complete the urban design of Central Street and Derby Square?" I would also say 'perhaps" for Derby Sg4are,.. but not for Central Street. More importantly, the area that 4would remain after erecting. a building .on Derby Square would ' :be small and even inefficient for parking.. The underlying question is, which .is•more important- to. the health and. future of downtown? The size of the Parcel in its present formis� somewhat deceiving when a plan for parking is made It is reduced considerably after account istaken of a buffer strip along Norman<Welchfs building,. another strip',. along the Ingemi building, the fire lane, the topography and other irregularities.. I maintain that given. the relatively small size of.:the site and the priority which should be given to parking, its 'size should not be conded'further by a,building. By' the way,' .as-I read the Urban Renewal Plan; parking is definitely a, permitted 'use. . , :Returning,to my third' reason,' you may also argue thgt dev- .elopment of the Parcel is- more important .to Salem,than,,parking becauseof the'real estate taxes it:would generate; I cannot 4 deny -that`•a building would produce•taxes,.-but--whether<that is more important than parking is quite debatable,, fSileM'W'"-'L commercial decline in the, #g0#s 'and #609s was largely due to a`lack,of parking and its consequent inability to, keep pace,. ` with 'shopping centers. A downtown cannot afford to compete with a shopping. center.in quantity of'parking`but it.,does-need to strike a balance between parking anddevelopment; Where the balance lies is. Judgmental,. I recognize., I do not believe that the correct proportion has$been attained in'Salem,z,If the . , parking''standards of the Urban Renewal Plan were-t" 'the applied to the entire project 'area,,and the periphery,'would there be enough parking? Furthermore,' I +am fear'fulithat.thejconflict' ' between all day packers and shoppers*will not be resolved. Ilam willing to accept the'likelihood`tlat.In these',arguments I;may sound like a merchant; even if ihattis La.pejorative" , 'term. The fact is ,that I do have an,important interest aaan abutting landowner, .and that interest has beea •inte'nsified as a result of my experience with Bancroft House r Itssinitial ; popularity,obscured the importance of parking, aalthough we ` did object to.the Parking,Commission about its not keeping open evenings, and,we did attempt abortively to overcome ,the lack of parking .by a shuttle service from'the garage serving all downtown restaurants. But th.6 necessity of parking has been hammered.,home to me by-,every would-be ,purchaser.and realtor n; the:last eight months, and several have stated that if . their interest had been otherwisepursued, they would have. insisted upon a- 9 antee from the Authority that parking on the Central Street lot would be continued.. Although the - + actual purchaser has not requested that I obtain such an assurance.; he is quite concerned and I am confident you will hear from him directly. (I am reminded at_this point°that`the,purchaser. of Bancroft Househas requested me to secure, written assurances of`an easement or other appropriate legal right forthe mainten- ance of anal' access to a refuse container on this Parcel, and close to Bancroft House. I shall therefore discuss this with you very soon.) • q � A.. a4 -3 My renewd conviction that parking is indeed the.best use of. .', . -this Parcel was also broyght,about by,'s{y`two unsuccessful ` attempts 'to develop it. When I was marketing 'retail"'space for the, proposed the universal resistance I met was based partly on the-competition from other'developments ,and partly. ' on the lack of parking. And-when I was carrying on discussions ` with Sylvania, a prime consideration wasits insistence .on both adjacent parking'as well; i fo iN-To.R.

Olney RE: June 18, 1979 meeting - agenda There are a number of issues to be resolved at the next meeting. Although they will appear in a different order in the agenda, here they are in decreasing importance: 1. Central St. Project: Collins has presented a preliminary design for the site work around the Pasquanna project. He has presented cost estimates for the public improvements to be done by the SRA. Although these plans are adequate for construction; it might be pre- ferable to carry out the design work to greater detail, and with some specifications. In addition, I want to express my strong opinion that the SRA should hire Collins to design the Plaza. Fee would be minimal, would insure a high quality of design throughout the project, and would re- inforce the SRA's commitment to the project and to the integrity of the downtown. Suggested design fees - Plaza, $1500, working drawings, $3,000 '- discount for both $4,000. Scope of work for Collins: sketch working drawings for construction; showing details for drainage, lighting, planting materials, grading, etc. (specifications noted on drawings) . Parking nearby Although no action is needed at this time, it is clear that the Front and Lafayette St. site will become parking if the Pasquanna develop- ment is to happen. The SRA should consider an attractive (though temporary) screen along Front St. as at least a gesture to preserve the street edge. In the meantime, negotiations between the merchants, theParking Commission, the Mayor, and the SRA will soon be arranged. I hope that the Board members will participate in these negotiations. MEMO TO: Salem Redevelopment Authority Board Page 2 DATE: June 15, 1979 2. Art Colloquium contract: Stanley, Joan and 2 met with Joanne Castano Thursday, P.M. A final decision about their contract with the SRA to do market analysis and investigate HPW buildings for artists studios has to be made at this meeting. 3. Morris Winer - Salem Used Furniture: David Jaquith will present designs and cost estimates to the SRA for its consideration. 4. Jeff Stern will appear to discuss the possibility of mixed office use with residential units on the Federal/Washington Street corner. 5. Contracts with George Vallis and John S. Sullivan for legal and accounting services should be extended to July 1, 1979. 6. Other items 2 will mention in my progress report: a. Housing Authority and elderly housing; b. Bernards; C.
