For the Committee David Gardner, Chairman, Open Space and Recreation Committee Receive and Place on File #123 Honorable City Council 191 Cabot St. Beverly, MA 01915 Dear Members of the Council 54 As you are aware, the City of Beverly has two affordable housing development units which were approved by the Board of Aldermen and Board of Appeals several years ago. Dunham Castle Condominiums on Dunham Road and Dane Square Condominiums on Dane Street were approved in the late 1980’s with the condition that a certain number of units in each development be set aside for first time home buyers from Beverly. Whenever the owner of one of these affordable housing units wishes to sell his or her condominium, the deed restriction for the units require the owner to notify the City. The City then attempts to find a buyer who meets the specified eligibility requirements, usually with success. The guidelines and deed restrictions that to with each affordable housing unit also require that the City be given the option of purchasing the unit. If the City decides not to exercise that option, it must execute a “Waiver of Right of First Refusal.” This waiver only applies to the transfer in question at the time. The deed restriction requires that such a waiver be signed before each and every change in ownership. The owner of Unit #307 at 38 Dunham Road, Linda Alexander, is in the process of selling her unit. Accordingly, I am forwarding the attached Waiver of Right of First Refusal to the Council for its consideration, and hopefully its authorization for the Mayor to execute the waiver on the City’s behalf. Thank you for your consideration to this request. If you have any questions, on the process of the waiver itself, pleas do not hesitate to contact me at extension 173. Very truly yours, Debra A. Hurlburt Planning Director Referred to Legal Affairs and Accounts #124 March 13, 2002 Beverly City Council 191 Cabot St. Beverly, MA Dear Councilors On Sunday, April 28, 2002 the Beverly Board of Health will be participating in the 6 th Annual North Shore Wellness Fair held at Salem State College’s O’Keefe Center.

Very truly yours, Beverly Board of Health William Burke Referred to Public Service and Aid #125 March 13, 2002 Beverly City Council City Hall Beverly, MA 01915 55 The Beverly Airport Commission is aware of a proposed language change to current zoning that would allow a special permit be granted for congregate Elderly Housing for Elderly and/or Permanently disabled not only for Residential District but also for Industrial District (IR). Please not the attached. This would allow congregate housing for elderly and/or permanently disabled in IR zoned land. In at least one IR section near the airport this would place such housing directly underneath Beverly Municipal airport aircraft operations (we refer to the proposed “Cailin Road” project off of Route 97. The residents of such development would be subject to aircraft noise and aircraft flying a low as 500’ above ground level. The Beverly Airport Commission wished to go on record as to being opposed to any residential development in IR areas that may be effected by airport operations. Representatives of the Beverly Airport Commission plan to attend the Public Meeting on Monday, march 18, 2002 at 7:15 PM to oppose the language change. Receive and Place on File #126 Beverly City Council City Hall Beverly, MA Facts/Questions/Concerns/Comments from Beverly Airport Commission re Cailin Road Development 1. The proposed Cailin Road project that includes congregate housing is less than half mile from the airports Runway 16-34. Residents and workers would be subject to noise from airport/aircraft. 2. The proposed Cailin Road project area is under the traffic pattern for Runway 16-34. The airport has approximately 275 takeoff and landings per day. The residents and workers would be subject to traffic pattern noise. 3. The proposed Cailin Road project is approximately one third of a mile (1,76o”+/-) from a proposed taxiway for Runway 16-34. 4. The proposed Cailin Road project is approximately 700’ from airport property that is reserved for non-aviation development. 5. The proposed Cailin Road project is approximately 600’ from the Federal Emergency management Agency (FEMA) compound. 6. Utilities-The airport has heard that the proposed project water/sewer tie-in may be on airport property (the area in from of the former Casco Chemical site). The airport commission would have to give its permission. 7. The airport commission needs to be involved in any meetings, discussions etc. that involves airport property. 8. Why does the whole zoning ordinance need to be change? Why isn’t the project just pursuing a variance? A blanket zoning change may leave it open for abuse. 9. I there a height restriction for any residential buildings? Receive and Place on File Communications, Applications and Petitions #127 Petition Mass Electric for J. O.
