MAYOR’S COMMUNICATIONS:
A communication dated August 30, 2016 with attachment was received from His Honor the Mayor Scott D. Galvin as follows:
Re: Authorizations relative to a MassWorks grant application for Magazine Hill parking lot
Dear President Haggerty and Members of the City Council:
I respectfully request your authorization to submit a grant application for MassWorks funding for construction of the Magazine Hill parking lot on Manns Court, and for authorization to expend MassWorks funds for this purpose should the City receive a grant award.
The City’s MassWorks application requests $595,000 in State funds to build a parking lot for approximately 60 cars on Manns Court, where an informal parking area now exists. An ADA compliant sidewalk leading from the lot to Main Street would also be constructed as part of the project. The lot would be equipped with bike racks and appropriate safety lighting and signage, with construction details to be confirmed at another neighborhood meeting prior to site work. The total project cost is expected to be about $795,000 and would therefore require up to $200,000 in City funds to build. If MassWorks funds are awarded, I would immediately file an appropriation request for your consideration. Construction of the project would start next Spring and be completed by the Fall.
The Woburn City Council has long been supportive of the downtown and the businesses located there. It has encouraged additional development in this area for many years with success. Recently, the Council has started to express concerns about the continued reliance on municipal parking lots to provide most of the parking needed for activities and uses in the Center. While we work diligently to enact all facets of our downtown parking strategy, expanding the number of off-street parking spaces will provide immediate benefit to all users.
If at all possible, please place this matter on your upcoming September 6, 2016 meeting agenda for discussion and action. Thank you.
Sincerely, s/Scott D. Galvin, Mayor
Attached thereto was the following Order:
ORDERED Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Woburn that the Mayor
be authorized to apply for, and accept funding from, the State’s Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development’s MassWorks grant program should it be awarded to the City, to be used for the construction of a parking lot on municipally-owned land on Manns Court known as “Magazine Hill”.
s/President Haggerty
Motion made and 2nd that the ORDER be ADOPTED, all in favor, 9-0.
Presented to the Mayor: September 8, 2016 s/Scott D. Galvin Sept. 8, 2016

Motion made and 2nd that the document be received and made part of the record, all in favor, 9-0. Nasser Busier, CEO, A.L. Prime Energy stated that their plan has two travel lanes on Hill Street but the Krfat site will need three travel lanes, that having two phases allows negotiations as to what may be needed along Hill Street, that a final plan for the development of the Kraft site is not yet available, that he will lose some property to allow turning lanes, that it is not clear how much land will be needed to widen the roadway to accommodate the Kraft site development, that the Kraft site developers may need more land for access roadways, that if this special permit is not approved then he will move forward with his project and the development of the Kraft site may be impaired, that if the City Council determines that Phase II must be done with Phase I then it will be done however this will likely harm the development of the Kraft site, and that if his building is constructed as proposed then this will inhibit the ability of the Kraft site to be developed. Anthony Guba, A.L. Prime Energy stated that that will be no improvements or impacts on Montvale Avenue with this proposal, that the only impacts will be on Hill Street, that most of these improvements were to address existing conditions originating from the McDonald’s access on Hill Street, that the McDonald’s has a short distance from their exit driveway to the intersection with Montvale Avenue, that the petitioner’s proposal is addressing these conditions although they are not generated from the petitioner’s property, that it will be more efficient for the Hill Street work to be done in conjunction with the Kraft site project than to do work that may have to be undone or could impact the development of the Kraft site, that Phase I assumes that the commuter parking lot on Hill Street is still existing, the work would be beneficial and an easement is necessary as well, that Phase I of the project is construction of the gasoline station and attendant station, that there is uncertainty due to the likely development of the Kraft site, that eighteen months may be too short of a time plan for the Phase II work, and that the petitioner could put a bond in place to ensure the work is completed. Alderman MercerBruen stated that the bulk of the mitigation is in Phase II, that she wants to understand why the most important mitigation work comes last rather than first, that this action changes the court order, that these changes are not helpful to Montvale Avenue, that the bulk of the work will be generated from the gasoline station, that if the Kraft site project does not move forward then the city gets little mitigation, that the Hill Street improvements are to make Montvale Avenue safer as well as for what is being built, and that she would be amenable to a condition that the roadway conditions be completed by December 31, 2018. Alderman Gately stated that after the court decision on a prior special permit petition for this property the City Council had little input, that this proposal gets the project going, that this project cannot wait for the Kraft site project to begin, that this special permit does not change the court order but instead phases the work, that there will be massive roadway improvements on Hill Street with the Kraft site project, that Hill Street will have to be widened, there will be drainage and a water main added and electricity upgrades, that the City Council could allow Phase I to be developed with no occupancy of Phase I until a roadway improvement plan is filed by the developers of the Kraft site within two years at which time the Phase II work will be required to be completed, and that if the Phase II work is not completed by the developers of the Kraft site then the petitioner will have to come up with the money to complete the Phase II improvements. Alderman Concannon asked if the petitioner would agree to a deadline for Phase II work to be completed within eighteen months. President Haggerty stated that the difficulty here is that the petitioner could not make a deal with the owners of the Kraft site and not do the additional mitigation work, and that the City Council could vote on the petition return the matter to Committee on Special Permits or add an amendment giving the petitioner until December 31, 2018 to complete all of the mitigation work. Alderman Anderson stated that the petition is for some minor adjustments to the building, that the petitioner should do the work that they agreed to do and when the Kraft site is developed whatever work needs to be done will be done in conjunction with that project, that the project was originally denied and the petitioner appealed the decision to the court which issued a decision allowing the development, that if the project requested is approved the work should be done with the mitigation, that there could be a condition that prior to issuance of an occupancy permit for Phase II or December 31, 2018 whichever comes first the petitioner shall complete the Phase II work, and that he is not certain of the consequences if the petitioner does not complete Phase II. Alderman Campbell stated that she would not want the petitioner’s project to move forward and then have the Kraft site project halted, that a time schedule or bond to complete the work would be a better alternative, and that requiring the work now in full ties the city’s hands and the owners of the Kraft site with respect to developing the Kraft
site. PUBLIC COMMENTS: None. Motion made and 2nd that the PUBLIC HEARING be
CONTINUED TO THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL ON OCTOBER 4, 2016 AND THAT THE MATTER BE REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON SPECIAL PERMITS, all in favor, 9-0.

On the petition by Alton Acquisition II, LLC, 327 W. Maple Avenue, Monrovia, California 91016 for a special permit pursuant to 1985 Woburn Zoning Ordinances, as amended, Sections 5.1.42a, 7.3, 9 and 12.2.4 to allow for a self-storage warehouse facility within the Flood Plain District at 39 Olympia Avenue. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED. A communication dated September 1, 2016 was received from Tina P. Cassidy, Director, Planning Board/WRA as follows:
Re: Special Permit application for 39 Olympia Avenue/Alton Acquisitions II, LLC
Dear Honorable Council:
The Planning Department has reviewed the above-referenced petition which seeks permission, in accordance with Sections 5.1(42a), 7.3, 9 and 12.2.4 of the Woburn Zoning Ordinance (WZO), to “…allow for a self-storage warehouse facility with the Flood Plain District”. The property is located in an Industrial Park (IP) zoning district and Section 5.1(42a) of the WZO allows a self-storage warehouse facility so long as there is “no storage of high hazard materials, trailers, motor vehicles or any outside storage”. The application does not specify the nature of the non-conformity requiring relief under Section 7.3, and Section 9 is a reference to the City’s Floodway and Flood Plain Districts. The applicant has also requested Site Plan Review in accordance with Section 12.2.4 but it is not clear why Site Plan Review is being sought for this application. The applicant should be asked to explain exactly what action is triggering the need for Site Plan Review. Is the applicant constructing new floor area or creating 100 or more parking spaces?
Unfortunately, there are issues of concern with this application:
- The applicant provides information to calculate a proposed parking requirement for the self-storage warehouse use. Presumably this is because the use is different from any specifically listed in Section 8.2.5, and therefore reliant on the following provision in that section: “Other Uses – Spaces sufficient to accommodate on the site all users of the facility, as established through documentation submitted to satisfy special permit or site plan review requirements, whichever may apply, or if no such requirements apply, documentation to the satisfaction of the Building Commissioner.” The ITE trip generation-based information included in the application may not be sufficient to support the request. Is this proposed use in fact different from other, perhaps similar establishments like the U-Haul facility at 39 Olympia Avenue that have already been permitted? If the proposed use is similar, the same parking calculation used for 39 Olympia Avenue should perhaps be used here. Or, has the Building Department made a parking determination previously for a similar selfstorage facility elsewhere in the City and if so, is the proposed calculation consistent with any previous determination?
Two minor but important notes relative to the subject of parking: One, the parking calculation provided on the plan submitted with this application may need to be revised. It indicates there are 129 parking spaces available for use by tenant businesses and their visitors but there may be only be as few as 105 available. 24 parking spaces are in fact set aside for “overnight parking and equipment storage” use by a co-tenant in the building. As such, some or all of those 24 spaces would not in fact be available to certain employees on certain shifts. Two, any vacant space in the building not included in the calculation of either tenants’ uses should still be accounted for in the parking calculation.
- The application provides virtually no detail regarding the proposed use of the building. No calculations or floor plans have been provided to show which part of the building each of the tenants will occupy nor has any information been provided relative to the specific floor areas and different uses intended by each tenant. These floor plans should be required of the applicant and reviewed for conformity with State Building Code and WZO requirements. These plans are also essential to clearly document the parking calculations that are provided on the plan that was submitted.
- The applicant should confirm that it will not be making any changes to the exterior of the building. The submitted plan was used previously for a filing associated with the building’s other tenant (NASDI) and notes every doorway and garage bay on the building’s facade. If the applicant’s proposed use of the building will not require any changes to any of the building’s exterior façade there is no issue here. But if the applicant does intend to make changes to the façade in order to accommodate the warehouse use they should be incorporated into the plans now during Council review.
- The plan that was provided in the application was recently revised on August 8, 2016. It is impossible to determine from reviewing the plan which changes have been made. The Planning Department therefore recommends the Council require the applicant to provide written documentation explaining any plan amendments. Certain changes – such as revised parking calculations – would be innocuous. Other elements, such as snow storage areas that fall within a Riverfront Area, or changes to the amount of impervious surface on site, may not be innocuous and would warrant review by others (i.e. Conservation Commission).
- Approval of the plan included with this application may create an immediate problem for the building’s other tenant. A different Plan of Record was approved for the other tenant last year, and the current plan differs from it in some way(s). As recommended above, the City Council should determine the differences, consider whether approving a different site plan would somehow void the co-tenant’s Special Permit and if so, perhaps require a coincidental application from the other tenant so that the revised Plan of Record can be incorporated and cited in its Special Permit Decision as well.
When and if the Council decides to approve this application, the Planning Department recommends it consider imposing the following conditions, in addition to any from the Special Permit Decision issued for the building’s other tenant (NASDI) that may be suitable and appropriate to impose on this tenant as well:
- That Alton Acquisition II, LLC shall not be authorized to use any of the area designated on the plan as an “Area of Overnight Parking and Equipment Storage”; and
- There shall be no residential occupancy of any portion of the building (some selfstorage facilities employ live-in managers).
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about this recommendation.
Respectfully, s/Tina P. Cassidy, Director, Planning Board/WRA
Appearing for the petitioner was Attorney Derek Rodman, Murtha Cullina LLP, 600 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, Massachusetts 01801 and he stated that the building is nonconforming because it was built in 1984 before the 1985 rezoning placed the property in the flood plain district, that the property is located in the I-P zoning district, that the use is allowed by special permit, that the petitioner will purchase the property contingent on securing this special permit, that 21,000 square feet of the building is leased by NASDI, that the petitioner will use 110,000 square feet of the building with 108,000 used for a self-storage warehouse and 2,000 square feet used for office space, that there is 54,000 square feet of existing space and an additional 54,000 square feet which will be a self-storage second story deck, and that parking is adequate to satisfy the parking requirements. Attorney Rodman offered a plan entitled “Reuse Conditions Plan #39 Olympia Ave in Woburn, Mass.” dated December 14, 2014, rev. January 30, 2015, rev. August 8, 2016, rev. September 6, 2016 prepared by Hayes Engineering, Inc. and a memorandum dated September 6, 2016 entitled “Technical Memorandum, Traffic Information, Alton Acquisition II, LLC, 39 Olympia Avenue, Woburn” prepared by Hayes Engineering, Inc. for the City Council to review. Motion made and 2nd that the documents be received and made part of the record, all in favor, 9-0.

Re: Modification of special permit for various design changes to plan for construction of residential garage to exceed 900 sq. ft. in size at 10 Lexington Street/John and
Theresa Tremblay (Owners and Applicants)
Dear Honorable Council:
This office has reviewed the above-referenced petition which seeks to modify an existing special permit for the purpose of incorporating the following five design changes to the Plan of Record: 1) Addition of three windows for the garage (one on the left side and two in the rear); 2) Addition of three windows for the basement on the right side of the garage (shifting one window on second floor to line up with the basement and another second floor window); 3) Removal of a door from the back left corner of the basement to allow for replacement with a window; 4) Changing the existing single door to a double French door; and 5) Addition of two-foot shed roofs over the garage doors and front doors. The applicant is filing pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Woburn Zoning Ordinances to allow for alteration of a preexisting, non-conforming structure.
The applicant also submitted a special permit application to the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) to authorize this construction. In its decision (5-0-0) dated July 28th, the ZBA granted the proposed amendments to the special permit.
The Planning Department takes no exception to the proposed design changes and recommends that the City Council revise Condition #1 of its May 12, 2016 Special Permit Decision to read as follows:
1. That the Plans of Record shall be “New Home for Mr. & Mrs. John & Terry Tremblay, 10 Lexington St., Woburn, Mass;” Sheets A1-A6 (all at a scale of 1/4” =
1’0”)’; dated March 11, 2016 and revised May 5, 2016; drawn by Robert M. Connell, Residential Designs, 22 North Street, Wilmington, Mass.; all dated March 2016; and
‘Plot Plan 10 Lexington Street, Woburn, Mass.; Scale: 1” = 30’; Prepared by Edward
J. Farrell, Professional Land Surveyor, 110 Winn Street, Suite 203, Woburn, MA (781)-933-9012.’”
The Department further recommends Conditions #2 and #4 of the Council’s previous Special Permit decision for this property remain in full force and effect, unless otherwise amended by its forthcoming decision.
Respectfully, s/Dan Orr, City Planner/Grant Writer
Appearing for the petitioner was Attorney Mark Salvati, 10 Cedar Street, Suite 26, Woburn, Massachusetts 01801 and he stated that a special permit was previously approved for this locus, that there were small changes to windows, doors and a shed roof, that the barn on the site does not change, that the Board of Appeals voted to amend the plan, that this is a large house of approximately 5,000 square feet, that the Building Department suggested this amendment, and that six parking spaces will be provided on site. PUBLIC COMMENTS: None. Motion made and 2nd that the SPECIAL PERMIT be GRANTED, AS AMENDED with the conditions as follows: 1. That Planning Board
Condition 1 be adopted and Conditions 2 and 4 of the special permit issued on May 12, 2016 remain in full force and effect unless otherwise amended by this decision, all in favor, 9-0.

Also attached are the formal approval letter from FEMA and a copy of the final Review Tool completed by FEMA and MEMA.

Thanks to everyone who helped me and MPAC complete this Plan update. It is the first time in MAPC’s experience with FEMA that a submitted Plan update was approved without being returned at least once to the local community for additional edits and corrections.
We could not have done it without you.
