4/225. There is also private interest in potential cell antennas above the Lexx restaurant <br />and on Hartwell Avenue. <br /> <br />Ed also reports that the revised antenna/tower zoning regulations (Article 15) are being <br />reviewed for presentation to Town Meeting next year. <br /> <br />Town-Wide “WiFi” Network <br />John Rommelfanger proposes that we look into having the Town sponsor an 802.11 <br />network. Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco and other communities are in various <br />stages of implementing such networks, but there are many issues to be resolved before <br />Lexington could consider doing the same. Among these are: <br /> Should it be free or at some cost? <br /> How would it be financed (even if the service were charged for, fees probably <br />would not cover the entire cost)? <br /> How would it affect our relationships with existing providers (RCN, Comcast, <br />Verizon, …)? <br /> Would it serve the entire town or only certain main streets? <br /> Would we be able to mount antennas directly on existing utility poles for? On <br />Town-owned street lamps? <br /> And more. <br />The sense of the committee was that we should gather information and monitor what <br />other communities are doing with an eye to recommend action to the Town if appears to <br />be feasible for Lexington. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 PM. <br /> <br />Submitted by David Becker <br />2 <br />
