The following letter from Mayor Driscoll requesting an opportunity to update the City Council on the status of several waterfront initiatives, and discuss the status of the Salem Wharf project, dredging of the South River Channel and the Master planning process for Winter Island. This was taken up at the beginning of the meeting.
Kimberley Driscoll
Mayor
October 14, 2010
Honorable Salem City Council
93 Washington Street
Salem, MA 01970
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council:
I am writing to update you on the status of several waterfront initiatives and to request an opportunity to attend your upcoming meeting to review and discuss the status of the Salem Wharf project, the dredging of the South River Channel, and the start of the Master Planning Process for Winter Island.
As you may recall, in January, 2008, the City adopted an updated Harbor Plan for submission to the State Executive Office of Environmental Affairs (EOEA). The Harbor Plan was updated following several months worth of meetings of a fourteen member working group that was charged with developing a long term vision for the waterfront area from Palmer Cove to Winter Island. Following local approval by the City Council, the plan was approved by EOEA and the City began work on implementation of many of the initiatives contained within this document. The Salem Wharf construction, the South River dredging and the Winter Island rehabilitation projects are all included in the Harbor Plan.
Salem Wharf Project
As you may recall, the proposed Salem Wharf project entails the build out of a multi-modal pier at Blaney Street that can accommodate ferry service, cruise ships and varied commercial enterprises. This vision began with the work of the Salem Partnership many years ago, but came into fruition with the start of the Salem Ferry operation, something that would not have been possible without grant funding from the Seaport Council and the approval by the Salem City Council in 2006. Fast forward four years later, and the City is poised to acquire the Blaney Street parcel from Dominion for $1.7 million dollars and begin build out of the first phase of the Salem Wharf project, something that will enable us to improve the aesthetics of the site and seriously enhance our opportunities to attract regular cruise ship
travel to this port. At present, we have secured approximately $3.5 million dollars in state and federal grants to help build out the Salem Wharf port for both ferry and cruise passengers. In particular, this Spring we expect to be able to bring utilities to the site, pave the lot, extend the pier, make seawall repairs and improve the general look and feel of the site. Obviously, it’s very good news to be able to get started on a project that offers so many economic and quality of life benefits to the residents Salem.
South River Project
The South River Walkway, completed earlier this year, allows passersby to enjoy a stroll along the South River, our closest downtown access way to the harbor. As part of MGL Chapter 91 requirements, the walkway will soon be extended by private property owners along the Derby Street side at the Hess Gas Station. As development continues, the walkway will ring the channel. In order to improve boat traffic both along and at the entryway to the South River, the City has initiated plans to dredge the South River area.
This is consistent with the City’s Harbor Plan and would enhance the channel for use by boaters and others, from water taxi service to transient slip and dock space, and also enable larger vessels (Tall Ships like the Friendship) the draft they need to navigate in and out of the Derby Wharf area. The City is preparing to begin the permitting process by submitting an Environmental Notification Form (ENF). The latest round of grant funding will enable the City to finalize engineering plans and continue the permitting process for dredging in this historic channel area.
Winter Island Master Plan
A former Coast Guard Station, Winter Island offers an abundance of amenities to waterfront enthusiasts, including a pier, boat ramp, boat storage, and a host of recreational offerings. The City has taken small steps to secure the buildings on site and received grant funding to review their feasibility for re-use, but to date no long term planning has been commenced until now. With a federal grant in hand, the City has advertised a Request for Proposals and formed a working group comprised of key stakeholders to work with an engineering/design firm on developing a sustainable plan for this incredible Salem gem, including potential short and long term options for re-use of the existing buildings, programming of site amenities and a general vision for the site. We are very excited about the start of this long overdue planning
phase and look forward to the chance to enhance this key recreational jewel.
With so many opportunities on the horizon related to waterfront revitalization, I would appreciate a chance to update the Council in greater detail about these items. I look forward to making a brief presentation at Thursday’s meeting and hearing your thoughts and ideas as these initiatives advance.
Very truly yours,
Kimberley Driscoll
Mayor

REPRESENTATIVE IN GENERAL COURT, SEVENTH ESSEX DISTRICT

SHERIFF, ESSEX COUNTY
AND THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
QUESTION #1 – LAW PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION
Do you approve of a law summarized below, on which no vote was taken by the Senate or the House of Representatives before May 4, 2010?
SUMMARY
This proposed law would remove the Massachusetts sales tax on alcoholic beverages and alcohol, where the sale of such beverages and alcohol or their importation into the state is already subject to a separate excise tax under state law. The proposed law would take effect on January 1, 2011.
A YES VOTE would remove the state sales tax on alcoholic beverages and alcohol where their sale or importation into the state is subject to an excise tax under state law.
A NO VOTE would make no change in the state sales tax on alcoholic beverages and alcohol.
QUESTION #2 – LAW PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION
Do you approve of a law summarized below, on which no vote was taken by the Senate or the House of Representatives before May 4, 2010?
SUMMARY
This proposed law would repeal an existing state law that allows a qualified organization wishing to build government subsidized housing that includes low-or moderate-income units to apply for a single comprehensive permit from a city or town’s zoning board of appeals (ZBA), instead of separate permits from each local agency or official having jurisdiction over any aspect of the proposed housing. The repeal would take effect on January 1, 2011, but would not stop or otherwise affect any proposed housing that had already received both a comprehensive permit and a building permit for at least one unit.
Under the existing law, the ZBA holds a public hearing on the application and considers the recommendations of local agencies and officials. The ZBA may grant a comprehensive permit that may include conditions or requirements concerning the height, site plan, size, shape, or building materials of the housing. Persons aggrieved by the ZBA’s decision to grant a permit may appeal it to a court. If the ZBA denies the permit or grants it with conditions or requirements that make the housing uneconomic to build or to operate, the applicant may appeal to the state Housing Appeals Committee (HAC).
After a hearing, if the HAC rules that the ZBA’s denial of a comprehensive permit was unreasonable and not consistent with local needs, the HAC orders the ZBA to issue the permit. If the HAC rules that the ZBA’s decision issuing a comprehensive permit with conditions or requirements made the housing uneconomic to build or operate and was not consistent with local needs, the HAC orders the ZBA to modify or remove any such conditions or requirement so as to make the proposal no longer uneconomic. The HAC cannot order the ZBA to issue any permit that would allow the housing to fall below minimum safety standards or site plan requirements. If the HAC rules that the ZBA’s action was consistent with local needs, the HAC must uphold it even if it made the housing uneconomic. The HAC’s decision is subject to review in the courts.
A condition or requirement makes housing “uneconomic” if it would prevent a public agency or non-profit organization from building or operating the housing except at a financial loss, or it would prevent a limited dividend organization from building or operating the housing without a reasonable return on its investment.
A ZBA’s decision is “consistent with local needs” if it applies requirements that are reasonable in view of the regional need for low- and moderate-income housing and the number of low-income persons in the city or town, as well as the need to protect health and safety, promote better site and building design,
and preserve open space, if those requirements are applied as equally as possible to both subsidized and unsubsidized housing. Requirements are considered “consistent with local needs” if more that 10% of the city or town’s housing units are low- or moderate-income units or if such units are on sites making up at least 1.5% of the total private land zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use in the city or town. Requirements are also considered “consistent with local needs” if the application would result, in any one calendar year, in beginning construction of low- or moderate- income housing on sites making up more than 0.3% of the total private land zoned for residential, commercial, or industrial use in the city or town, or on ten acres, whichever is larger.
The proposed law states that if its parts were declared invalid, the other parts would stay in effect.
A YES VOTE would repeal the state law allowing the issuance of a single comprehensive permit to build housing that includes low- or moderate-income units.
A NO VOTE would make no change in the state law allowing issuance of such a comprehensive permit.
QUESTION 3: LAW PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION
Do you approve of a law summarized below, on which no vote was take by the Senate or the House of Representatives before May 4, 2010?
SUMMARY
This proposed law would reduce the state sales and use tax rates (which were 6.25% as of September 2009) to 3% as of January 1, 2011. It would make the same reduction in the rate used to determine the amount to be deposited with the state Commissioner of Revenue by non-resident building contractors as security for the payment of sales and use tax on tangible personal property used in carrying out their contracts.
The proposed law provides that if the 3% rates would not produce enough revenues to satisfy any lawful pledge of sales and use tax revenues in connection with any bond, note, or other contractual obligation, then the rates would instead be reduced to the lowest level allowed by law.
The proposed law would not affect the collection of moneys due the Commonwealth for sales, storage, use or other consumption of tangible personal property or services occurring before January 1, 2011.
The proposed law states that if any of its parts were declared invalid, the other parts would stay in effect.
A YES VOTE would reduce the state sales and use tax rates to 3%.
A NO VOTE would make no change in the state sales and use tax rates.
AND BE IT FURTHER ORDERED: That the following places be and hereby are designated as polling places for said voting:
WARD ONE
PRECINCT ONE & TWO Bentley School, Memorial Drive
WARD TWO
PRECINCT ONE & TWO St. John’s Parish Hall, St. Peter Street
