Busa Land Use Delineation Ms. Mauger explained that at the Selectmen’s Goal Setting Meeting on June 28, 2012, the Selectmen discussed the need to move quickly on delineating land use for the Busa Farm property so that the RFP can be completed. She hoped the Selectmen could decide on how much land to use for the affordable housing so engineering can do accurate delineation of the land. LexHAB proposed using the entire area on Lowell Street, but not go deep, which would use approximately 30,000 square feet. Mr. Kelley only wants to commit to using one-third of the Lowell Street frontage for one structure with 4 units. Focus should be on 1-2 bedroom units for seniors Mr. Manz does not think multi-unit dwellings are popular in Lexington. He thinks the viewscape would not be affected if there was adequate room between the houses, as was presented by LexHAB. The number of units can be decided later.
