As I told you, Charm Sciences is very interested in purchasing this property for part of our light manufacturing and assembly operation by August of this year. I received a call from Mr. Bill Scott's office asking me to draft a letter describing our operation. Our Company has been in business for 15 plus years developing and manufacturing high quality diagnostic tests for the food industry world wide. We have expanded our product line and have out grown our current facility. We would like to move 3 injection molding machines that produce our disposable plastic tubes plus our portable Class-100 Cleanroom assembly area that assembles these plastic parts. This operation would typically run for two shifts and would require approximately 6 people per shift. The equipment is clean and would not in any- way impact the neighbors. If you would like to visit our facility in Malden, we would be more than happy to show you our operation. We appreciate your time and look forward to working with you.

We also respectfully request that this matter be put on the agenda for the next Planning Board meeting on June 17, 1997. Initially, upon closing, Charm Sciences plans to clean and paint the property at 1.5 Charles Street. After cleaning and painting we plan to move 3 injection molding machines into that facility. Those machines produce our disposable plastic tubes. In addition, we plan to move into 15 Charles Street our Class-100 Cleanroom assembly area in which we assemble the plastic parts produced by the molding machines. The above described operation would typically run for two shifts and would require approximately 6 people per shift. The equipment is clean and would not in any way impact the neighbors. Charm Sciences was founded in 1978 and has been located in Malden since 1982. During 1994, Dr. Charm, the President and CEO of Charm Sciences, was chosen, by the Malden Chamber of Commerce, as the Outstanding Small Business Person of the Year. In addition, in 1996 Charm Sciences received an accommodation from Richard Howard, Mayor of the City of Malden, for its outstanding commitment to employment for developmentally disabled workers. Charm Sciences has also been involved with the Science Department at Malden High School, providing on-site laboratory experience to some of Malden's top students. We are very proud of our company and would enjoy showing you our operation in Malden if you would like to visit our facility. We have also enclosed some information regarding our products for your review. We appreciate your time and look forward to working with you. Sincerely, Chamn1 Science , Inc. Richard 7.

Charm Sciences believes that a waiver of site plan review is appropriate for the following reasons: I. We are not changing the site plan; 2. We are not expanding the envelope of the building; I Our planned use of the building will not result in an increased nuisance to the neighbors; 4. Our planned use of the building will not increase traffic in the area(our North Andover operation will be a manufacturing facility and require substantially fewer employees than did Town Printing); S. Our planned use of the building will not increase noise in the area(there will be no machinery or external venting which would cause noise outside the building); and 6. Our planned use of the building will not impact stormwater drainage onto or off of the site. if you have any questions or require additional information please contact either me or Rick Skiffington. We appreciate your time and look forward to working with you. Sincerely, Chann Sciences, Inc. 44 OAP— Richard J.
