FORTUNATO - Mayor ALICE M. HAYES - Secretary Telephone (617) 922-3311 January 24, 1980 Michael Pittas, Director Design Arts Program National Endowment for the Arts 2401 E Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20506 Dear Mr. Pittas: Attached is the City of Beverly's application for the Design Arts Program. Beverly is at a critical point in turning the City's image from that of a deteriorating downtown waterfront to an image of an exciting, attractive, viable place for people to live, work, shop, and enjoy. Beverly has a unique urban history in the harbor area called Fish Flake Hill. This area was settlea around 1626. It became a busy fishing and shipping center. In fact George Washington ordered the schooner "Hannah" outfitted here as the first war- ship of the Continental Navy. After the Revolutionary War, industry began to.develop along the harbor. In the'nineteenth Century, coal storage, and in the early twentieth century, oil storage changed the character of the waterfront. With the de- cline in coal usage and later the sale of the oil storage facility, V* the area became neglected and depressed. As a result of the %.,; waterfront's neglect and deterioration, the city proposed two urban renewal projects along the waterfront. The first was in 1964 and proposed the demolition of the entire waterfront with new commercial and high rise residential buildings. The plan wat locally turned down. This plan did not respect the history of the area. As a result of this plan, local citizens and residents did a great deal of research into the area. This culminated in the creation of the Fish Flake Hill Historic Dis- trict which was created in 1970. This district is on the National Register. In 1974 a second urban renewal plan was proposed. This plan respected the historic areas but again proposed vast changes which frightened many people. This plan was shelved. Now Beverly is embarking on a new approach. This is to build upon our history and our cultural resources as an important aid for redevelopment of our harborfront. (See attached plan.) The City is home for a number of cultural institutions including The Acting Place, Monserrat School of Visual Arts, North Shore Music Theater, the Beverly Historical Society Museums, and North Shore Community College. The main'entrance to Beverly is at our waterfront. The City has a small park here which may soon be enlarged due to the construction of a new bridge between Michael Pittas, Director Design Arts Program January 24, 1980 page two Salem and Beverly. This proposal is a request for funds to develop a Cultural Development Plan for Beverly's Historic Waterfront. This plan will link our historic resourcesf and new development in a way which will enhance each other. Specifically, the plan will address the preservation of tradi- .tional Waterfront cultural patterns, the incorporation of new and growing cultural activities into development, and the establishment of guidelines for new infill development which will be sensitive to the historic district and which will im- prove the aualitv of this historic urban waterfront. This project can be a model for many communities with similar op- portunities.. The results of this project should provide numerous benefits. The City will have guidelines for infill development which will improve the City's Professional capabilities in evaluating. new or,infill development. The project will provide an educa- t:ional tool to inform potential developers, landowners, and residents of the benefits of good design while, at the same time, meeting community needs. The situation in Beverly, with the underutilized waterfront, historic district,.and cultural resources, should provide the National Endowment for the Arts with an excellent design demonstration.

Summar@ 6f project description (Complete in space provided. DO NOT continue on additional pages.) CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR BEVERLYS HISTORIC WATERFRONT The Mayor of the City of Beverly, Massachusetts, through the City Planning Department is seeking $20,000 in matching funds to produce a Cultural Development Plan for the historic waterfront. The plan will: 1) promote and encourage cultural activities, events, and perform- ances, in the waterfront area and surrounding neighborhood: 2) develop an interpretative trail linking the adjacent historic district, Fish Flake Hill, to new development In the waterfront, 3) create an innovative package of zoning mechanisms, design guidelines, and administrative pro- cedures for the development of new constructkn NEED: Today. Beverly's historic waterfront, which lies between an historic housing district and the harbor, stands vacant and underutilized. The challenge facing this historic site is to find appropriate growth management techniques to: 1) preserve the cultural and historic valub of the site; 2) conserve the traditional patterns of life, such as commercial fishing, boat building, and recreational boating, associated with the historic waterfront,* and 3) ensure that the scenic, aesthetic, and recreational value of the waterfront Is not diminished as new development occurs. DEMONSTRATION The proposed Cultural Development Plan can become a national model which will demonstrate: 1) How cultural and his- toric interpretation actiyities, events, and objects can be integrated in new development to broaden public awareness and understanding of the significance of the historic site; 2) How local cultural organizations and artists can be attracted to locate in new development through the provision of housing and workspace; and 3) How innovative growth management techniques can be used to produce quality in the built envi- ronment where none presently exists. PROJECT ELEMENTS: The plan will contain: 1) the design of prototypical development packages for each parcel in the Historic Water- ront Development District 2) detailed design guidelines and environmental control mechanisms for use by the Beverly Planning Board;3)the design of an historic Interpretation and cultural discoverytrall throughthe Fish Flake Hill and Waterfront Historic District;4) the design of a waterfiont cultural park with an interpretative center onCity property; 5)the design of a pavillion forthe performing f and creative arts through the adaptive4euse of an existing bridge which is being replaced. IMPLEMENTATION POTENTIAL: The concepts for this project were deveioped under a small design grant made by the Massachusetts, Coastal Zone Management Program. The plan (enclosed) has attracted considerable attention from state and federal sources for imple- I mentation funds: HCRS Urbon Parks and Recreation Recovery funds administered through Essex County; designation as a project area by HUD's Urban Development Action Grant Program; and a proposal for consfruction funds by the Coastal Energy Impact Program. The Cultural Development Plan can become a blueprintlor the utilization of bricks and mortar funding. Without the requested design funding from NEA, the implementation of inapporpriate development projects and public improvements could be more destructive than continued dis- investment and underutilization.

Rev t I t Historic Developme-nt., These drawings illustrate how the built form of the Beverly waterfront has evolved during the last century. Residential and maritime uses have been closely inter- twined - the Fish Flake Hill Historic District contains the homes of several captains who sailed from the harbor. This comfortable relationship was broken at the turn of the century with the intrusion of industrial and other non- compatible uses. The historic unity of the area could be re-established through sensitive redevelopment. illustrative Plan --------- - ton o f-- Adaptive Reuse X 0 Intersection ImproVements 4.
