CITY OF PITTSFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS OFFICE OF CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

Please consider Rob Weisberger to be appointed to the Cultural Development Board. Rob is the Sales Manager at Hotel on North and has an extensive arts and culture background. See his attached resume for details. The current members of the Cultural Development Board feel that he will be a valuable resource and bring fresh ideas to the Board.

Thank you for your consideration.

Rob Weisberger - Bio

Rob's interest in the arts is both personal and professional. He has been a violinist since the

age of 6, and attended the Hartt School at the University of Hartford majoring in Violin

Performance. It is a personal goal of his to make sure that arts and culture - with a personal

focus on classical music - stay in the mainstream and, more importantly, the hearts of young

adults.

Rob is currently the Sales Manager of Hotel on North, one of the newest additions to the

revitalization of downtown Pittsfield. While his position carries with it an obvious interest in

bringing travel to the Berkshires, he has also held positions in other venues, such as the

Hampton Inn & Suites in Lenox, where during the summer he was charged with the task of

planning cultural outings for guests and gathering reviews to relay to others. Rob has also

worked for Canyon Ranch as Cultural Coordinator, where similarly he advised guests on the

events in the Berkshires and sold them tickets from a pre-purchased stock.

While the majority of Rob's interest in the arts resides in classical music, he is also particularly

interested in theater and fine arts, and is just beginning to build an appreciation for dance. His

experience in theater ranges from high school musicals and Shakespeare, to a second stage

production with Barrington Stage Company, under the direction of Julie Boyd.

Rob is a member of the Berkshire Young Professionals Steering Committee and is co-chair of

the Community Service subcommittee. He is currently enrolled at Massachusetts College of

Liberal Arts to complete a degree in Business Administration he had started at Berkshire

Community College before deciding to pursue violin performance. Recently Rob was selected

to join Sigma Alpha Pi, the National Society of Leadership and Success. He intends to further

his education by achieving his MBA.

The City of Pittsfield has been awarded $14,460 for its FY 2015 Emergency Management Planning Grant. We wish to make the following purchase with the grant funds if we are approved.

The City of Pittsfield would like to use its funded amount for the purchase one (1) new gasoline powered All-Terrain Utility Vehicle for Fire Department I Emergency Management purposes. Pittsfield FD IEM currently lacks the ability to move large groups of personnel during emergency mobilizations.

Currently, when traveling into remote areas during emergencies, groups of personnel are often transported in an open pick-up truck, exposing them to the elements, but more importantly unsecured and unsafe. The open truck lacks seat belts and other intrinSically safe components which endangerthe lives of those passengers.

This new All-Terrain Utility Vehicle would allow for the safe transport of four personnel and their related equipment in a much safer environment, most importantly in a seated position with seat belts to reduce the risk of injury and death to the members.

The vehicle would have trailering capabilities (tow hitch) allowing it to tow our recently obtained Emergency Management trailer which contains traffic control cones, barrels, and a-frame barricades for scene control and security. This All-Terrain Utility Vehicle could also tow the newly acquired (CCP Grant) regional Community Emergency Response Team trailer, (Berkshire County CERT), allowing for quick deployment of CERT equipment into inaccessible areas within Berkshire County post-disaster. The All-Terrain Utility Vehicle would be equipped with communications gear which would allow it to be used as a forward incident command post. (The required radios would llilt be purchased with these grant funds.)

The remaining grant funds will be used to purchase and install a rechargeable LED hand-light for operating in low Ino light conditions.

This purchase would enhance our ability to prepare, respond and recover from all types of disasters, (natural, technical, man-made) by allowing us the ability to response in a more efficient manner with our personnel and their equipment. Prior planning and prompt response to these incidents is critical to improve the outcome as required by the National Preparedness System and its goals.

The expected outcome of this funded purchase is the enhancement of our ability to transport emergency responders in a safe and efficient manner. Public Safety personnel cannot do their jobs if they do not arrive safe and sound at the incident location. This purchase would show a commitment to our personnel that their safety is paramount to the operations of this organization. The purchase and use of a vehicle of this type would reduce risk to our community's first responders and enhance their ability to respond quickly and efficiently throughout the Western Massachusetts region.

Ms. Krumsiek;

Enclosed is the City of Pittsfield's FFY2015 Emergency Management Planning Grant application.

This AU-Terrain Utility Vehicle would be beneficial to the City of Pittsfield during emergency operations within our community as well as the regional area. It would provide for the safe transportation of up to four personnel into remote and inaccessible areas during a disaster situation. As the largest community in Berkshire County we are often called upon for support during many large scale emergency incidents.

Healthy Housing for Healthy Aging

1. Contact Information: Name, address, telephone and e-mail Gina Armstrong, Director of Public Health 70 Allen St. Pittsfield, MA 01201 [email protected] 413-499-9411

2. Brief description of proposed initiative, which of the three options under which it falls, and any experience your city or tawn has in implementing community-based healthy eating/active living activities.

The City of Pittsfield is applying for funding under the Healthy Aging through Healthy Community Design portion of this mini-grant and will partner with Berkshire Regional Planning Commission (BRPC) as a subcontractor to implement this proposal. The City of Pittsfield proposes an ambitious Healthy Housing for Healthy Aging Initiative. Working with its subcontractor, this effort will develop a workbook and host a Residential Aging in Place Training to better inform seniors about potential home renovations and residential best practices for aging-in-place. In addition to supporting the aging population of the Berkshires, this initiative will help to upgrade existing housing stock by creating "8 to 80" friendly housing for the region. This project will also promote the existing National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) program. BRPC, Pittsfield's subcontractor, will work with this group to encourage them to host a CAPS training session in Berkshire County and encourage local contractors to attend. Both Pittsfield and BRPC will collaborate with the Berkshire County Age Friendly Vision 2020 Task Force to help complete, inform, and promote this effort. This Task Force of more than 20 organizations, including municipal Councils on Aging (COA), was formed to help address the challenges of the aging population in the Berkshires. The Task Force will hold an Aging in Place Forum in early 2016 to identify the next steps to address aging in the region, the results of which will be integrated into this effort.

This effort will produce two products: 1. Residential Aging in Place Workbook

The purpose of the workbook is to detail possible home renovation elements to support aging-in-place, based on existing literature and best practices, and connect older adults with resources to support these changes. The workbook will draw on existing best practices and the Healthy Community Design Toolkit (HCDT) to outline potential renovation options and other leverage points to support Aging in Place. The workbook will provide:

• A simple checklist format to show possible age-friendly renovations in all areas of the home. • A resource guide to connect seniors to funding for home renovations, such as those provided through

the USDA and the Department of Veteran's Affairs. • A list of local contractors and design professionals who have been certified as "Aging-in-Place

Specialists" by the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB). • A guide to better allow municipal officials to review site plans, to inspect homes, and to make informed

decisions when they refer contractors to their residents.

In whole, the workbook will be a simple, easy to use guide that will allow contractors, seniors, and their families to work together to renovate homes to support aging-in-place. This workbook will also draw on the results of the Aging in Place Forum, to be held in early 2016, and will be updated with additional CAPS certified professionals as they complete required trainings.

2. Residential Aging in Place Training BRPC will host a Residential Aging in Place Training and encourage seniors, COAs, and local housing organizations to attend. The training will:

• Promote the existing NAHB CAPS program and encourage seniors to look for contractors with this certification as they examine their home renovation needs.

1

• Provide information about the rapidly aging population in the Berkshires and provide a summary of BRPC's recent Age Friendly Survey, which received responses from over 2300 adults aged SO and older in the region.

• Detail possible home renovations and residential best practices to support aging-in-place and provide attendees with the workbook.

• Give seniors the tools to better work with contractors by providing them with renovation options and resources to make crucial decisions regarding their home renovation needs.

Pittsfield and BRPC antiCipate that the training and workbook will be useful tools beyond the scope and timeline of this grant application. The training presentation and workbook will be made available to local COA groups and other relevant organizations so that they can train and inform their constituents. Additionally, BRPC will make the training and workbook available on its website for future use.

The activities proposed in this application will jump-start efforts to connect seniors and construction professionals to provide age friendly renovations and allow our older residents to safely age in place. Moreover, it will empower seniors, local municipalities, and COA's to make more informed decisions in referring contractors and builders to local residents.

The City of Pittsfield and BRPC have been working to address the challenge of the county's aging population, as well as develop strategies to promote healthy community design and active living for some time. However, the creation of the Task Force has brought new focus and impetus to this issue. The City of Pittsfield is a member of Mass. in Motion and a founding member of the regional Berkshire County Age Friendly Vision 2020 Task Force. Additionally, the City has developed "Healthy Pittsfield", a collaborative working to address public health issues in the community. BRPC recently participated in efforts to achieve a county level Age Friendly Community designation by the World Health Organizations (WHO), a designation usually reserved for individual municipalities. Additionally, BRPC was instrumental in developing the regional Age Friendly Task Force to address aging in the county. BRPC recently conducted a survey of older adults in the region. BRPC has also recently been involved in other projects to support aging in place, such as a recent 2015 Mass. in Motion mini-grant which examined Complete Streets improvements in the Town of Egremont.

3. A short description of need in your community and explonotion of how the proposed grant octivities will address that need.

Aging is a critical issue in the Berkshires. By 2030, nearly all communities in the Berkshires are projected to have over 40% of their population aged SO and above'. The region is unprepared for the effects of this dramatic demographic shift, though recently, several efforts have begun to address the issue. BRPC and Pittsfield helped to form the Berkshire County Age Friendly Vision 2020 Task Force, which was instrumental in the county's recent designation by the World Health Organization as an age-friendly community. Working through the Age Friendly Task Force, BRPC conducted an "Age Friendly" survey of over 2300 adults aged 50 and above. The survey revealed that overwhelmingly (98%) survey respondents deSired to remain independently in their own homes as they age, which makes issues of accessibility and livability for older adults an important issue. The same survey revealed that only 23% of respondents reported currently living in housing that was "fully accessible" (grab bars, ramps, downstairs bath/bedroom, etc.). Fifty seven percent of respondents felt their homes would need minor renovations to become fully accessible, and another 20% reported that their homes would need major renovations to achieve accessibility. Especially important is the issue of income for this vulnerable population. Results from the survey identified that older adults in the middle and higher income brackets were less likely to report living in an accessible home and more likely to need major renovations. This survey shows that there is a need for home renovations and retrofits to support aging, and that accessible housing may be more difficult to find for middle and higher income residents. This grant will help better connect seniors to qualified and certified professionals and make informed decisions to support healthy housing for aging-in-place.

4. A list of "key partners" you would engage upon receiving funding, the role you expect each partner to play, and any prior experience the lead agency has in working with these partners.

This initiative will represent strong intra-municipal cooperation between the City of Pittsfield's Health Department, Council on Aging, and Department of Community Development. These departments will coordinate with the subcontractor, BRPC, to ensure successful implementation of this proposal. Additionally, as both members and founders, Pittsfield and BRPC will partner with the Berkshire County Age Friendly Vision 2020 Task Force to help complete this effort. The Task Force will hold its Aging in Place Forum in early 2016, which will interact synergistically with this initiative to address this critical regional issue.

Dear Councilors,

Submitted herewith for your consideration is a memorandum from Janis Akerstrom, Director of Community Development, regarding the Tyler Street, Dunkin' Donuts proposal.


UudRln. T tZ;Ja M. Tyer Mayor

LMT/CVB

Enclosure

CITY OF PITTSFIELD

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, CITY HALL, 70 ALLEN STREET, RM 205, PITTSFIELD, MA 01201

TO: City Council

FROM: Janis Akerstrom, Director

DATE: February 1,2016

SUBJECT: Tyler Street - Dunkin' Donuts proposal

Project History In August 2015, Cafua Realty Trust LVII, LLC submitted a special permit application under Section 7.839 of the Zoning Ordinance to construct a new Dunkin' Donuts restaurant with a drive-through window for property located at 665 Tyler Street, the site of the former st. Mary the Morning Star campus owned by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield. The proposal would result in the demolition of the rectory and convent buildings and the construction of an approximately 2,100 square foot restaurant with drive-through. The former church and school buildings would remain.

In September 2015, the City Council authorized the requirement of project review fees under City Council Rule 39 and requested Department of Community Development staff to retain outside consultants to assist the Council in its review of the special permit application. On September 23, 2015 staff requested fees from the applicant based on quotes received for review services related to traffic, neighborhood planning and character, and legal counsel, for a total sum of $14,200. The applicant objected to the requirement of fees for legal counsel and neighborhood planning and character. After limited communication for several months, staff met with the applicant in January 2016. After internal discussion, staff agreed to amend its request for fees to provide outside legal counsel, which was agreeable to the applicant, as was the addition of fees for stormwater management review recommended by the City Engineer. On January 27, 2016, staff provided an updated request for project review fees totaling $12,000 for services related to traffic, stormwater management, and neighborhood planning and character. At this time the applicant objects to providing review fees for neighborhood planning and character.

As it did in September, staff believes that third party review in relation to neighborhood planning and character is warranted. The City has multiple related efforts in progress on Tyler Street that require consideration in relation to the proposed development, including: a revitalization plan for the Tyler Street area made possible through MassDevelopment's Transformative Development Initiative, with the focus of developing short term and long term goals and objectives for the neighborhood; streetscape design work that is anticipated to begin later this year; and pedestrian improvements through the Bicycle and

Pedestrian Program through the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. Staff believes that these are also concerns of the City Council.

Other Related Information In addition to the special permit described above, the project requires the approval of a special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals to allow for the extension of the General Business (B-G) district up to 50 feet into the High Density Multi-family Residence (R-M) district. The applicant submitted an application for the special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals in September 2015. The public hearing for the application was recently continued by the Zoning Board of Appeals to their February 24, 2016 meeting.

Proposed Recommended Action At this time, the primary consideration of the City Council relates to whether it chooses to continue the public hearing. Staff recommends that the City Council continue the public hearing to the March 22, 2016 meeting to allow for the applicant to provide the required fees and the commencement of project review. If the fees are not provided by that time, the City Council may then decide to open the public hearing, receive testimony, and begin its deliberation of the project. It is worth noting that failure to provide the project review fees are grounds for denial of the special permit.

TO: City Council

FROM: Janis Akerstrom. Director

DATE: October 21,2015

SUBJECT: Tyler Street - Dunkin' Donuts proposal

Pro!est History In August 2015, Cafua Realty Trust LVII, LLC submitted a special pennit application under Section 7.839 of the Zoning Ordinance for a new Dunkin' Donuts restaurant with a drive-through window for property located at 665 Tyler Street. The northern portion of the subject property is zoned High-Density Multifamily Residence (R-M), wbich requires that the applicant receive a special pennit under Section 3.406 of the Zoning Ordinance from the Zoning Board of Appeals to allow for the extension of the General Business (BG) district up to 50 feet into the R-M district. The applicant submitted an application for the special pennit under Section 3.406 in September 2015.

The applicant requested that the Community Development Board postpone its review of the project until the special pennit from the Zoning Board of Appesls is obtained. The Zoning Board of Appeals has scheduled a public hearing on this proposal for its meeting on November 4,2015.

It is also word! noting that the Council authorized Department of Community Development staff to seek project review fees from the applicant to assist with the review of this project. The requested fees have not been received and the applicant has given no indication of when the City can anticipate receiving the fees to allow for the commencement of the third party review.

Proposed Recommended Aetion As of the date of this memorandum, the City Council has not received a request from the applicant to continue the public hearing. The City Council should open and continue its public hearing on this project to a future date to allow for the Zoning Board of Appeals and Community Development Board to complete their review, as well as to allow the applicant to provide the project review fees authorized by the City Council and requested by Department of Community Development staff. We suggest that the public hearing be continued to the December 8, 20]5 City Council meeting.
