SHREWSBURY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE

HISTORIC PRESERVATION BYLAW Follow Up Report to the Shrewsbury Board of Selectmen March 26, 2019 SHREWSBURY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE

Successes of Preservation Bylaws Andover: The extension of the delay from six months to twelve months has had a substantial positive effect by providing more time to find alternatives to demolition of historically significant resources. In the case of the Holt-Cogswell House, a Georgian dwelling built in ca. 1740, the demolition delay bylaw deterred a developer who had planned to demolish the house, from purchasing it. A preservation-minded developer then stepped forward to purchase and restore the substantially deteriorated house.

Framingham: In downtown Framingham, the 1898 Hotel Kendall was slated for demolition to be replaced by a chain drug store. This Classical Revival hotel, which is listed in the National Register as part of the Concord Square Historic District, was determined to be “preferably preserved” and demolition was delayed. Following the Historical Commission’s decision the developer withdrew the application to demolish. Instead the Hotel Kendall was rehabilitated with mixed uses. The street level floor has been converted to retail and the upper floors contain 24 residential condominiums.

Beal The SHPC does not have an official position on the whether Beal should be preferably preserved or not. That determination would be left to the Historic Commission should this bylaw be passed. In theory, if the bylaw were to be passed and implemented Beal could be subject to a preservation delay. That said, there have been no official details released on the future of the Beal building. We do see a unique opportunity to build something our town can be very proud of on the Beal site. While we would very much like to see historic preservation be a part of that project it is impossible for us to speculate if indeed that is under consideration. Our research has yielded many examples of towns working with private developers, Mass Development and others who have at times taken advantage of the Massachusetts tax incentives for restoration. Some examples include the the Tremont Nail Factory in Wareham, the BF Brown Junior High Building in Fitchburg, the Worcester County Courthouse in Worcester and the Cogswell School in Haverhill. It should be noted that to qualify for the aforementioned tax incentives Beal would need to be listed or eligible for listing in the National Historic Register or be contained in a Historic District. The plan for development would also need to meet other criteria set out by the Massachusetts Historic Commission. The Historic Commission would very much like to be involved in the preliminary discussions for Beal and look forward to an invitation to help out in any way we can. SHREWSBURY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE

Postpone Implementation The SHPC realizes it was ambitious in setting forth an implementation date of January 1, 2020 and has thus made the determination that a more reasonable implementation date would be July 1, 2020.

Incentive Programs Bedford MA: Owner occupied residential properties listed on the State Historic Register of Historic Places to become eligible for a special property tax assessment. The cost of rehabilitation must be no less than 25% of the assessed value of the property prior to rehabilitation. Not less than 10% of the cost of rehabilitation must be dedicated to rehabilitation of the exterior of the historic building. The onus is on the owner must work closely with the town Assessor and provide annual updates on meeting the requirements of the bylaw during the duration of the special tax assessment.

Massachusetts: The Massachusetts Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit provides an opportunity for income- producing properties to receive up to 20% of the cost of certified rehabilitation expenditures in state tax credits. There is an annual cap to the program and thus selection criteria that ensure the funds are distributed to the projects that provide the most public benefit. The Massachusetts Historic Commission certifies the projects and allocates available credits.

Fees The fee clause which stated “The Commission is authorized to adopt a schedule of reasonable fees to cover the costs associated with the administration of this law” has been struck from the bylaw after feedback from from the Board of Selectmen.

Hardship The SHPC has coordinated with members of other Historic Commissions from around the state and representatives from the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals to determine how we will approach hardship. We have found that neither the Planning Board nor the Zoning Board of Appeals takes into consideration economic hardship when determining the potential approval or disapproval of a project. Our conversations with other Historic Commissions have given us mixed results. Some consider economic hardships and others do not. It is our position that we will need to build precedent for economic hardship over time in a similar way that any body would set norms for its procedures. We have specifically looked at how building precedent for case law is approached in the judiciary system for guidance.

Criteria for Preferable Preservation The criteria for determining if a structure should be preferably preserved is written as follows in our bylaw proposal: SHREWSBURY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE

Historically Significant Building or Site – Any building or site within Shrewsbury which in whole or in part was built 100 years or more prior to the date of application for demolition. The Shrewsbury Historical Commission considers a structure or site to be historically significant if, in addition to age, it meets one or more of the following criteria: • Is listed on the National Register and/or State Register of Historic places i.e., Massachusetts Cultural Resource Information System (MACRIS), or is the subject of a pending application for such listing, or is eligible for such listing; • Is importantly associated with historic person(s) or event(s) or with architectural, cultural, political, economic, or social history of the Town of Shrewsbury; • Is historically or architecturally important for its period, style, method of construction, or association with a particular architect or builder, either by itself or in the context of the group of buildings or structures. The SHPC has researched the criteria for preferable preservation in dozens of preservation bylaws from other towns and cities across the state and has come to the determination that our language is not only appropriate but in lockstep with the guidance set forth by the Massachusetts Historic Commission. Historical relevance is not a quantifiable number like that of building heights, road widths, setback lengths or mineral levels in water. And yet we set these criteria in our bylaws based on research with good intent. We feel confident in the expert ability of the Historic Commission to carefully consider this criteria in any determination they make regarding this bylaw.

Timeline The SHPC has worked to better understand the interpretation of the bylaw in regard to the length of a potential delay. Our intent was for a delay to last no longer than 12 months from the initial application for demolition. We now see how this may have been misinterpreted and wish to assure the board that indeed we intend to follow a 12 month timeline from the initial application for demolition. In addition to the language around the maximum time for a delay we have investigated the timeline one must consider when demolishing a structure for the purpose of rebuilding a single home and/or a larger development. Our representatives from the Zoning Board of Appeals and Planning Board were instrument in helping us better understand this process and have thus given us great confidence in our timeline for determining whether a structure should be preferably preserved. It is our understanding that a property owner would endure, at minimum 3-4 months of wait time while the Zoning Boards of Appeals, Planning Board and Conservation Commission investigate and consider the work to be done. It is our understanding that a property owner could apply for demolition at the start of this process and thus forego any additional wait time.

This is a working document for determining historically significant homes in Shrewsbury. It is a consolidation of several lists of old and historically significant properties (homes, barns, churches, stone walls, cemeteries), based on the Assessor’s List (those dates are sometimes flawed). Questionable dates are in red. The References column lists sources that mention the property. Some of these sources are self-referencing, for instance BF used OHS for reference. If a house has been destroyed the Gone column is checked. Those that are gone, plus any homes with extensive restoration, not in danger of demolition, or in a dilapidated state (beyond restoration) are checked in the Eliminate column. This document is on Google Docs as SHC Master Property Inventory. Prepared by Gail Aslanian and Polly Kimmitt, on behalf of the Shrewsbury Historical Commission.

This is a working document for determining historically significant homes in Shrewsbury. It is a consolidation of several lists of old and historically significant properties (homes, barns, churches, stone walls, cemeteries), based on the Assessor’s List (those dates are sometimes flawed). Questionable dates are in red. The References column lists sources that mention the property. Some of these sources are self-referencing, for instance BF used OHS for reference. If a house has been destroyed the Gone column is checked. Those that are gone, plus any homes with extensive restoration, not in danger of demolition, or in a dilapidated state (beyond restoration) are checked in the Eliminate column. This document is on Google Docs as SHC Master Property Inventory. Prepared by Gail Aslanian and Polly Kimmitt, on behalf of the Shrewsbury Historical Commission.

10/29/2018 10 SHREWSBURY HISTORIC PRESERVATION BYLAW

INTENT AND PURPOSE

This Bylaw is enacted for the purpose of preserving and protecting historically significant structures and sites within Shrewsbury, which constitute or reflect distinctive features of the architectural, cultural, economic, political or social history of the town and to limit the detrimental effect of demolition on the character of the town. Through this Bylaw, owners of preferably preserved structures are encouraged to seek alternative options that will preserve, rehabilitate or restore such buildings and town residents are alerted to impending demolitions of significant buildings. By preserving and protecting historically significant buildings, streetscapes and neighborhoods, this Bylaw promotes the public welfare by helping to maintain the town as an attractive and desirable place to live and work. To achieve these purposes Shrewsbury’s Historical Commission is authorized to advise the Building Inspector with respect to demolition permit applications. The issuance of demolition permits is regulated as provided by this Bylaw.

DEFINITIONS

Applicant - Any person or entity who files an application for a demolition permit. If the applicant is not the owner of the premises upon which the building is situated, the application must include the owners assent.

Application – A written request for demolition of a building.

Building – Any combination of materials forming a shelter for persons, animals or property.

Building Inspector – The person authorized to issue demolition permits.

Demolition - Any act of pulling down, destroying, removing, dismantling or razing a building or commencing the work of total or substantial destruction with the intent of completing the same.

Demolition Permit - The permit issued by the Building Inspector for a demolition of a building. This permit excludes other building permits issued for the demolition of the interior of a building so long as the exterior appearance is preserved.

Historically Significant Building or Site – Any building or site within Shrewsbury which in whole or in part was built 100 years or more prior to the date of application for demolition.

Page 1

Town of Shrewsbury Historic Preservation Bylaw-Final Draft The Shrewsbury Historical Commission considers a structure or site to be historically significant if, in addition to age, it meets one or more of the following criteria:

• Is listed on the National Register and/or State Register of Historic places i.e., Massachusetts Cultural Resource Information System (MACRIS), or is the subject of a pending application for such listing, or is eligible for such listing;

• Is importantly associated with historic person(s) or event(s) or with architectural, cultural, political, economic, or social history of the Town of Shrewsbury;

• Is historically or architecturally important for its period, style, method of construction, or association with a particular architect or builder, either by itself or in the context of the group of buildings or structures.

Preferably Preserved - Any historically significant building or site which the Shrewsbury Historical Commission determines, following a public hearing, is in the public interest to be preserved rather than demolished. A preferably preserved building is subject to the demolition delay period specified by this Bylaw.

Shrewsbury Historical Commission, hereafter, Commission – is responsible for performing and/or overseeing historical research, identifying historical assets and suggesting both preservation tools and coordination with Shrewsbury town officials in preserving its historical heritage.

PROCEDURE

A demolition permit will not be issued for a, “Historically Significant Building or Site”, without following the provisions of this Bylaw.

An applicant proposing to demolish a building subject to this Bylaw shall file the department’s required form with the Building Inspector. The Building Inspector shall determine if the application includes a structure built at least 100 years or more prior to the application and, in such cases, shall within seven business days of receipt of the application, forward a copy to the Commission.

The Commission within fifteen business days after receipt of the application shall make a written determination within the definition of the Bylaw as to whether the building is historically significant.

Upon determination by the Commission that the building is not historically significant and can be demolished, the Commission shall so notify the Building Inspector in writing. The building inspector may then issue a demolition permit.

Page 2

Town of Shrewsbury Historic Preservation Bylaw-Final Draft Upon determination by the Commission that the building is historically significant, the Commission shall so notify the Building Inspector and the applicant in writing. No demolition permit may be issued at this time. If the Commission does not notify the Building Inspector within fifteen business days of receipt of the application, the Building Inspector may proceed to issue the demolition permit.

If the Commission finds that the building and/or historic site is historically significant, it shall hold a public hearing within thirty business days of the written notification to the Building Inspector. Public notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing shall be posted in a conspicuous place in the town hall for a period of not less than seven business days prior to the date of said hearing. Also, the applicant and the Building Inspector shall be notified in writing of the meeting time and place.

The Commission shall decide at the public hearing or within fourteen business days after the public hearing whether the building shall be preferably preserved. If agreed to in writing by the applicant, the determination of the Commission may be postponed.

If the Commission determines that the building is not preferably preserved, the Commission shall so notify the Building Inspector and applicant in writing. The building inspector may then issue a demolition permit.

If the Commission determines that the building is to be preferably preserved, the Commission shall notify the Building Inspector and applicant in writing within twenty-one business days of the public hearing. No demolition permit may then be issued for a period of twelve-months from the date of the demolition application unless a shorter delay period is agreed to by the Commission. If the Commission does not so notify the Building Inspector in writing within twenty-one business days of the public hearing, the Building Inspector may issue the demolition permit.

During the demolition delay, the Commission, its agents and assigns, shall contact the owner of the property or the applicant for the demolition permit and do everything reasonable to assist, aid and effect the preservation of the property. This effort by both parties should include suggestions, recommendations and alternatives to demolition of the property. The Commission shall seek out third parties to aid and assist in the process of avoiding demolition.

The Commission is required to take into account all financial or personal hardships relating to the owner of the property on the list of historically significant properties in determining whether such property is subject to the Bylaw and the grant of demolition delay. The Commission will also work with the property owner in such cases.

The Building Inspector may issue a demolition permit for a preferably preserved building within the twelve-month i.e., calendar year, delay period if the Commission notifies the

Page 3

Town of Shrewsbury Historic Preservation Bylaw-Final Draft Building Inspector in writing provided that the Commission finds that the intent and purpose of the Bylaw is served by:

• A good faith effort by the owner to locate a purchaser to preserve, rehabilitate, or restore such building and/or structure, and that such efforts have been unsuccessful, and;

• There is no reasonable likelihood that either the owner or some other person or group is willing to purchase, preserve, rehabilitate, or restore such building and/or structure.

Following the twelve -month delay period, the Building Inspector may issue the demolition permit.

ADMINISTRATION

The Commission may adopt such rules and regulations as are necessary to administer the terms of this Bylaw.

The Commission may delegate authority to make initial determinations of historical significance to one or more members of the Commission or to a municipal employee.

EMERGENCY DEMOLITION

If after an inspection, the Building Inspector finds that a building subject to this Bylaw is found to pose an immediate hazard to public health or safety due to deteriorated condition and that there is no reasonable alternative to the immediate demolition of the building, then the Building Inspector may issue an emergency demolition permit to the owner of the building. The Building Inspector shall then prepare a report explaining the condition of the building and the basis for the decision which shall be forwarded to the Commission.

ENFORCEMENT AND REMEDIES

By majority vote of the Commission and/or the Building Inspector are each specifically authorized to institute any and all actions and proceedings, in law or equity, as they deem necessary and appropriate to obtain compliance with the requirements of this Bylaw or to prevent a threatened violation thereof.

Any owner of a building subject to this Bylaw that demolished the building without first obtaining a demolition permit in accordance with the provisions of this Bylaw shall be subject to a fine of not more than Three Hundred Dollars per day. Each day the violation exists shall constitute a separate offense until a faithful restoration of the demolished building is completed or otherwise agreed to by the Commission.

Page 4

Town of Shrewsbury Historic Preservation Bylaw-Final Draft If a building subject to this Bylaw is demolished without first obtaining a demolition permit, no building permit shall be issued for a period of two years from the date of the demolition on the subject parcel of land unless the building permit is for the faithful restoration referred to above or unless otherwise agreed to by the Commission.

ARTICLE 22 (By Petition)

To see if the Town will vote to restore the quiet enjoyment* of the estates of the property owners in the “Shrewsbury Town Common Historic District” (Historic District) and all abutters who are being effected by the overuse of Route 140.

The previous expansion of Route 140 and the addition of the FedEx Shipping Center in West Boylston is increasing the air and noise pollution in the Historic District and Town Center of Shrewsbury. Heavy-duty diesel trucks weighing 20, 25, and 40 tons, and commercial vehicles now travel this road at all hours of the day and night, every day of the week. The speed limit in West Boylston is 45 mph; it changes to 40 mph at the Shrewsbury town line, and 25 mph at the Town cemetery. The noxious fumes of diesel fuel combine with the deafening sounds of jake brakes and empty trucks barreling over manhole covers sunken into the road, making the area sound like a war zone. These conditions are preventing the residents in this area from experiencing the quiet enjoyment of their homes. The planned expansion of UPS into the Centech Business District is certain to worsen the situation, and the desired redevelopment of the Town Center is threatened by it. DRAFT The adoption of this article specifically addresses the 2016 Master Plan Goal LU4: “Strengthen and preserve Shrewsbury’s Town Center”, and Policy LU4.1: “Maintain and enhance the character of Shrewsbury’s historic Town Center by promoting appropriate development and redevelopment.” It is in the best interest of the Town to repair this road, regulate the traffic, and ensure that the heavy-duty diesel truck and commercial vehicles traveling on the road meet US EPA Diesel Exhaust Emission Standards.

8

Shrewsbury enjoys a long history of commerce in the Town Center. As stated in the 2016 Master Plan “The Town Common Historic District represents another important opportunity for the Town as a whole. Building on this designation, the Town can promote development and redevelopment that enhances the historic character of the Town Center.” A design study of the Town Center is currently underway to develop a vision for the area. Input is being sought from businesses and residents with numerous goals, including historic preservation. This situation must be remedied to ensure that any redevelopment plans for the Town Center are successful.

The adoption of this article directly affects the Town’s Engineering and Highway Departments. At a minimum, it requires close collaboration with the Town Planner, the Zoning Department, Mass DOT and the EPA. Police classification and enforcement is also necessary. Simply stated, the vehicles do not slow down at the 25 mph sign at the Town Cemetery, and most likely are violating the posted weight classifications.

The Town relies heavily on state aid for its road maintenance and improvement projects. The FY2020 Capital Improvement Plan does not include funding for the adoption of this article. Two sources of funding recommended for this article are state aid and Town Reserves, or to take any other action in relation thereto.

ARTICLE 23 (By Petition)

To see if the Town willDRAFT authorize the establishment and appointment of an Town Comparison Study Committee, and to take any other action in relation thereto.

ARTICLE 24 (By Petition)

To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen to file the following petition with the General Court pursuant to Article 89, Section 4 of the of the Amendments to the Constitution (Home Rule Amendment).

9

ARTICLE 25 (By Petition)

To see if the Town will vote to Amend the General By-Laws of the Town by adding The Below Cited Shrewsbury Historic Preservation By-Law, or to take any other action in relation thereto.

ARTICLE 26 To see if the Town will vote to accept M.G.L c. 59, § 5, Clause 22 H, enacted in Section 15 of Chapter 218 of the Acts of 2018, being the so called Property Tax Exemption for Gold Star Parents, which establishes a real estate tax exemption to the full amount of the taxable valuation of real property of the surviving parents or guardians of a soldier, sailor, member of the National Guard, or veteran who, during active duty service, suffered an injury or illness documented by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs or a branch of the armed forces that was the proximate cause of their death, or is missing in action and presumed dead, or take any other action in relation thereto.

ARTICLE 27 To see if the Town will vote to amend Article 4 – Town Boards and Departments, of the General By-Law, by inserting therein an Affordable Housing Trust Fund Board, or take any other action in relation thereto. ARTICLE 28 To see if the Town willDRAFT vote to amend Section VIIB, Area, Frontages, Yard and Lot Coverage Requirements, of the Zoning By-Law of the Town of Shrewsbury by introducing a maximum floor area ratio for all new two family dwellings, or take any other action in relation thereto. ARTICLE 29 To see if the Town will vote to amend Section VIIB, Area, Frontages, Yard and Lot Coverage Requirements, of the Zoning By-Law of the Town of Shrewsbury by introducing a minimum regulatory factor for all new lots, or take any other action in relation thereto.

10

ARTICLE 30 To see if the Town will vote to amend Section II – Definitions; Section VI, Table I – Use Regulation Schedule; of the Zoning By-Law relative to Continuing Care Retirement Communities, or take any other action in relation thereto.

ARTICLE 31 To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen to file a petition with the General Court pursuant to Article 89, Section 8 of the Amendments to the Constitution (Home Rule Amendment), to enact legislation as follows, and provided that the General Court may reasonably vary the form and substance of the requested legislation within the scope of the general public objectives of the petition: An Act Relative to Affordable Housing in the Town of Shrewsbury

SECTION 1. (a) Notwithstanding section 20 through 23, inclusive, of Chapter 40B of the General Laws and any regulations promulgated thereunder, any manufactured home as defined in section 32Q of chapter 140 of the General Laws, or any other dwelling unit built on a chassis and containing complete electrical, plumbing and sanitary facilities, and designed to be installed on a temporary or permanent foundation for permanent living quarters, having been situated continuously on the same parcel in the Town of Shrewsbury for twenty years or more as of January 1, 2019, and having been assessed as a mobile or manufactured home by the Shrewsbury Board of Assessors, shall be considered “low or moderateDRAFT income housing,” as defined in section 20 of chapter 40B of the General Laws.
