TOWN OFFICE BUILDING <br />Description <br />The Town Office Building is next to the Cary Memorial Building and adjacent to the <br />Police Station. The property has the following characteristics: <br />TOWN OFFICE BUILDING <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVE. <br />LOCATION: 1625 Massachusetts Avenue <br />YEAR OPENED: 1927 <br />LOT SIZE: Not separately sized* <br />BUILDING SIZE: 22,9000 SF <br />OWNER: Town of Lexington <br />ZONING: RS (One - Family Dwelling Residential District) <br />BUILDING ASSESSED VALUE (FY13): Not separately <br />assessed* <br />LAND ASSESSED VALUE (FY13): Not separately assessed* <br />TOTAL ASSESSED VALUE (FY13): Not separately <br />assessed* <br />*Note: This includes the Police Station and Cary <br />Memorial Building, which are located on the same <br />property, lot size 3.43 acres, land assessed value $639,000, building assessed value <br />$7.43 million, total assessed value $8.06 million. <br />Previous Analyses <br />The 2008 Lexington Town Hall Study, which was prepared by Bargmann Hendrie + <br />Archetype, Inc. and funded with a CPF allocation, indicated that the program space <br />needs of some departments were greater than the building spaces provided and there <br />were accessibility issues. In 2009, $30,000 of additional funds were appropriated to <br />expand the study (Town Office Building Renovation presentation, 2010). Based on <br />the results of the study, existing furniture and file systems have been surveyed and <br />incorporated into space planning to account for the deficit of space. <br />Recent Actions <br />In 2010, Annual Town Meeting approved $1,825,000 to fund the needed renovation. <br />Of that total amount, $325,000 was from the General Fund [debt], and $1,500,000 <br />was cash from the CPF. <br />Recommended Actions <br />None. The Committee finds the Town Office Building is in sound condition and <br />warrants no substantial changes. <br />14 LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS <br />
