Bouchard, City Clerk and Clerk of the City Council HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, JULY 14, 2008 Hearing opened at 7:12 P.M. with Councillor Rowlands, Chairman of the Legal Affairs Committee presiding. All members were present except Councillors Freda and Nickel. HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, JULY 14, 2008, continued The following ORDINANCE was the subject of the hearing: Relative to amending Chapter 13, Article III, Section 13-34 entitled “No Parking on Certain Street” prohibiting parking from the corner of the ninety-degree bend bordering Carter Park, east side of Summer Street for a distance of approximately one hundred and eighty seven feet heading towards Water Street and from the corner of the ninety-degree bend bordering Carter Park, north side of Summer Street, for a distance of approximately forty-five feet heading west towards Main Street. Deputy Chief William Ashton of the Fire Department said this petition did not originate from their office. He said Lieutenant Kirouac and himself went to the site and took measurements which were different than the original petition and his recommendation reflects those changes. He said the reason for their recommendation was to make sure that the Fire Department connection made to the fire sprinkler system in front of the building would not be obstructed by parked cars and to allow ample room for fire apparatus to make the 90 degree dogleg at the end of Summer Street. Debra Eckstrom, CEO at the Community Health Link which operates the Lipton Center at 45 Summer Street, said they are neither in favor or opposed and they are looking for the opportunity to discuss the petition and understand what the impact will be on their employees and patients. Councillor Rowlands said he believes that she is interested in meeting with the parties. Ronald Cormier, 264 West Street said he is a direct abutter and is in favor of this petition. Mr. Cormier spoke on the parking problems on Summer Street. He said the neighbors and himself have complained for years. He said when the Lipton Center bought the building they presented a parking plan for 40 spaces in the rear of the building but they do not use it. He said if there was no parking in front of the building emergency vehicles, the MART busses and other vehicles could pull up to the sidewalk. He said it always has been a mess and it is not our fault or their fault but they made it more horrendous with how they park and where they park. He said he has talked to the other neighbors and they feel that having no parking as stated in this petition is the only way to correct the problem. No one spoke in opposition. Councillor Lanciani, the petitioner, said he is willing to have a meeting and will keep an open mind knowing the unique situation that is present on Summer Street which has been there for a number of years. He said he will try to have the meeting on a Wednesday when the subcommittees are meeting so that everyone will be able to participate. He said he will contact Sergeant Kinney and Deputy Chief Ashton to see if they can participate and express their concerns at the subcommittee meeting that will be established for Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 7:00 P.M. HEARING ADJOURNED AT 7:28 P.M. ____________________________ Lynn A. Bouchard, City Clerk and Clerk of the City Council HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, JULY 14, 2008 Hearing opened at 7:29 P.M. with Councillor Rowlands, Chairman of the Legal Affairs Committee presiding. All members were present except Councillors Freda and Nickel. The following PETITION was the subject of the hearing: 95-08 David Rowlands, Virginia A. Tocci, John M. Dombrowski, James Lanciani Jr., Robert A. Salvatelli, Richard M. Marchand and Wayne Nickel: Amend the Leominster Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 22 - Sections 22-24, by removing “Mixed Use Development Projects” and inserting in its place a new Section 22-24 creating “Industrial Mixed Use Overlay Districts” (Small and Large) and modify the Table of Uses Section 22-26 to reflect said changes. Councillor Rowlands said the Legal Affairs Committee put forth an extensive document which consists of not only the details of the petition which requires changing to the zoning ordinance but also the rational and justification behind the recommended zoning change and as to why it’s being done. He said it was a comprehensive look at fixing mixed use zoning or making improvements on mixed use zoning. He said the other Councillor signed on but when they signed on they did not say they approved of this. Their signatures meant it is worthy of debate. Councillor Rowlands said they have worked diligently on this and it is cumbersome, not flexible and doesn’t promote an easy or efficient way for development in areas especially in old industrial areas that aren’t necessarily conducive to 100% industrial. We are looking to improve that process and at the same time protect industrial zoning and commercial zoning. Councillor Rowlands said a question was raised by Councillor Salvatelli regarding preliminary approval. He said he was of the belief that City Council should retain special permitting authority for large projects. He said his colleagues from Legal Affairs did not believe that was in the best interest of the City. He said an amendment will be forthcoming to remove the HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, JULY 14, 2008, continued authority from the City Council to the Planning Board. He said the City Council would ask for an informational meeting be presented to the City Council on large projects. Councillor Rowlands said Councillor Dombrowski will be making an overview presentation in the future on what the mixed use changes mean. Councillor Rowlands read the recommendations from the Building Inspector, the Mayor, VHB and the Planning Board. Councillor Rowlands said the Councillors received a hand delivered letter from Lisciotti Development in opposition to this petition. No one spoke in favor of the petition. Attorney Richard Lavers, General Council for Lisciotti Development, 83 Orchard Hill Park Drive said Mr. Lisciotti could not be present due to a prior engagement and sends his apologies. Mr. Lavers requested that the letter dated July 14, 2008 be part of the record. HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, JULY 14, 2008, continued Mr. Lavers said the letter articulates the reasons for their opposition and they have publicly stated in the past that they recognize the mixed use provisions of the ordinance is not perfect and there are ways the mixed use ordinance can be improved. He said their opposition is that this is not the way to improve the ordinance. He said the current proposal confuses and compounds the mixed use ordinance by adding layers to an already cumbersome approval process. He said their comments were to the original petition and he understands there are additional changes that are being discussed. Mr. Lavers said there is a great deal of editorial comment that was contained in the preamble to the petition which they feel provides a factually incomplete assessment of mixed use zoning in this City. Mr. Lavers said Orchard Hill Park, which was developed by Gregg Lisciotti under the mixed use ordinance, is the envy of North Central Massachusetts. We have developers and planners who visit Orchard Hill Park to get a sense on how they can bring Orchard Hill Park back to their community. It is still the biggest mixed use project in the City, currently the second biggest taxpayer in the City providing tremendous revenue to help fuel the programs and services that the City provides to the citizens. He said he feels that Orchard Hill Park is attacked in the preamble to the petition, despite it increasing the bottom line with additional tax revenues, despite it expanding the job base with jobs in Orchard Hill Park, despite it providing much desire for retail and restaurant options for the people of Leominster, all without stressing the schools and infrastructure like we would see from a similar size project for some other type of development. He said while we disagree with the content of the petition they are equally upset with the process and the timing. He said first the process; it is their position that the Council should not be taking a piecemeal approach to addressing reforms to the zoning ordinance. The ordinance functions best when it is a cohesive coordinated and comprehensive document. Each section should complement the other or else you end up with something that neither looks or functions like originally envisioned. He said second; in their opinion the timing could not be worse. The City has already retained the services of VHB to make recommendations on how to best update the reform of the City’s zoning ordinance. The City is spending $75,000.00 to do this which they think is a wise use of taxpayer’s money. Why are the sponsors of this petition, who they doubt consider themselves zoning experts, telling the experts (VHB) how to revise one of the most complicated provision of the entire zoning ordinance? Mr. Lavers said the mere existence of this petition and its presence on the agenda taints the review process being conducted by VHB. It creates the appearance of this Council is exerting undo influence over VHB and telling the expert how the zoning ordinance should be reformed. This compromises the integrity, and most importantly, the independence of the process that we HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, JULY 14, 2008, continued are engaged in with VHB. Mr. Lavers said he suggests the Council either reject this petition or in the alternative the sponsors of the petition withdraw the petition and wait until VHB completes their review, makes their recommendation to the Council and if the Council is not satisfied with VHB’s recommendations regarding the mixed use provisions discuss the ideas contained in petition #95-08 at the end of their process. Councilor Rowlands said they will debate and discuss the merits of this petition. He said he doesn’t feel that anyone was slighted in this document in any way. We didn’t talk about specifics of any project within the City. He said they allocated $75,000.00 over a year and a half ago and he hasn’t seen anything yet. He said they have asked for basic information from VHB within that year and a half and have not received anything. He said after seven years of not having a single Mixed Use Development Project in this City we now have several before us because residential market is slow to dead and people are looking to invest in industrial old mixed use places and the timing is right. He said there are loop holes you can drive a train through. He said this study is more comprehensive than what was done in 2003. He said this document has been out for sixty days soliciting for input and given to the Zoning Board, the Planning Board, the City Council, VHB and the Mayor. Councillor Tocci said they worked hard on this and bringing it up for debate is not a bad idea. She said VHB has had it for over a month and the money was appropriated over a year ago and VHB has had only two meetings. She said she is willing to go forward with this. Councillor Marchand asked if there were comments from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Councillor Rowlands said no. Councillor Marchand asked if there was a possibility that in a subcommittee meeting or if he would like to bring them down for the next meeting we can take a vote later this evening and request that VHB, the Planning Director, the Planning Chairman, the Building Inspector and a representative of the Zoning Board of Appeals be present to iron out some of the concerns that may be raised before we bring it back to the council. Councillor Rowlands said he received a document from the Planning Board which has specific items they reviewed that they said should be fixed. He said he is going to push for a meeting with them so we can specifically go through the items. He said they will eliminate the preliminary approval by the City Council (our recommendation to change the petition to eliminate the approval) and feels that is a major effort to streamline the process. There will be one body to make the presentation to. The burden will go to the Planning Board. Only the large projects over 20 acres will come to the City Council. He said Mr. Lisciotti and his counsel can come to the subcommittee meeting to express his concerns. HEARING ADJOURNED AT 8:00 P.M. ____________________________ Lynn A.
