<br />The acquisition, creation, and preservation of open space. <br />?? <br />The acquisition, preservation, rehabilitation, and restoration of historic resources. <br />?? <br />The acquisition, creation, and preservation of land for recreational use. <br />?? <br />The creation, preservation, and support of community housing (including items <br />?? <br />such as annual payments to the housing authority to preserve or expand the <br />affordable housing supply). <br />The rehabilitation and restoration of open space, land for recreational use, and <br />?? <br />community housing that is acquired or created using monies from the fund. <br /> <br />Preference will be given to proposals that address as many of the following general <br />criteria as possible: <br /> <br />Are consistent with current planning documents that have received wide scrutiny <br />?? <br />and input and have been adopted by the town; <br />Preserve the essential character of the town as described in the Comprehensive <br />?? <br />Plan; <br />Save resources that would otherwise be threatened and/or serve a currently <br />?? <br />under-served population; <br />Either serve more than one CPA purpose (especially in linking open space, <br />?? <br />recreation and community housing) or demonstrate why serving multiple needs is <br />not feasible; <br />Demonstrate practicality and feasibility, and demonstrate that they can be <br />?? <br />implemented expeditiously and within budget; <br />Produce an advantageous cost/benefit value; <br />?? <br />Leverage additional public and/or private funds; <br />?? <br />Preserve or utilize currently owned town assets; and <br />?? <br />Receive endorsement by other municipal boards or departments. <br />?? <br /> <br />The general guidelines stated above apply in combination with category-specific goals outlined <br />below in the next four sections of this plan. <br /> <br />Process <br /> <br />Town boards and departments, civic organizations, and residents may bring proposals for <br />funding to the CPC. In some instances, the CPC may be the catalyst for certain projects which <br />meet the goals of this plan. The CPC will give favorable consideration to those proposals that <br /> <br />best meet our guidelines and are consistent with Lexingtongoals in the areas of open space, <br />recreation, historic resources and/or community housing. <br /> <br />The CPC does not have the power to appropriate funds for particular projects, only to make <br />recommendations to Town Meeting. Under the law, the power to appropriate CPA funds is <br />reserved solely for Town Meeting but Town Meeting may act only upon the recommendations of <br />the CPC. For these reasons, we want to provide a strong and consistent rationale for our <br />recommendations. <br />5 <br /> <br />
