d. Arthur Klipfel described a Ðtraffic mock-upÑ performed by their traffic consultant <br />that found short delay times turning into the Windspeed driveway <br />the notion traffic back up being minimal compared to a Mass Ave <br />6. The Chair and Committee concurred with the advantages of relocating the garage access <br />location. <br />7. Members of the Committee noted the elimination of the fourth flo <br />cornice lines, and gentler projection of upper story dormers, all of which improve the <br />overall scale of the project versus its preceding design. <br />8. The overall facade detail treatment was reduced and described by Bruce Creager as <br />being Ða more friendly neighbor.Ñ <br />9. John Frey showed plans of a trenched tree root planting detail ÐtreewayÑ that was used <br />around Depot Square and some discussion focused on seeking oppor <br />and other planting options into the project. The presenters agreed to review this detail <br />and its applicability to the Waltham Street sidewalk. <br />10. It was asked how and if sustainable strategies would be incorporated into the project. <br />The presenters explained it was common for their projects to incorporate these ideas. For <br />example, they select projects that are close to public transportation reducing traffic and <br />promoting walking or use of public transportation, like Lexpress. Erik Rhodin noted that <br />prefabricated wall construction techniques are being considered <br />qualities and the speed of construction for a busy town center. <br /> <br />The DAC responds positively to the preliminary design plans presented thus far. Final comments <br />from the Committee include a request to see developed details, color selection, and materials of <br />the building as the project moves forward. The Committee members unanimously support the <br />proposal as presented and the Chair has offered to provide a letter of support for publication in <br />the Lexington Minuteman. <br /> <br />Adjournment: <br />The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:00PM. <br />Next Meeting: <br />Scheduled for Wed., November 2, 2005 @ 7:30PM. <br />Cc: Board of Selectmen <br /> Planning Board <br />
