5.Updates and Member Concerns <br />a.Needs Assessment Report – <br />The CPC Needs Assessment Report will be updated <br />during the fall application period. <br />b.Buckman Tavern Opening – <br /> Ms. Rice announced that there will be a member’s <br />rd <br />only Open House at the Buckman Tavern on Saturday May 3 at 3:00 pm and a <br />th <br />public Open House on Sunday, the 4 from 12 to 4pm. The ribbon cutting is <br />scheduled for 2:00 pm on Sunday. <br />c.Historic Preservation Restriction for the Community Center property and <br />buildings – <br />Mr. Pressman asked for an update on the status of the Historic <br />Preservation Restriction for the Community Center. Only Ms. Fenollosa, on behalf of <br />the Historical Commission, had read the document. (Mr. Kanter, on behalf of the <br />CEC, had also reviewed the document.) <br />Mr. Kanter stated he felt the Restriction was “minimalistic” and that he had expected <br />the Appendix, which dealt with the specifics of the restricted areas, to be more <br />detailed. Ms. Fenollosa said her concern with the document lay in the fact that it only <br />addressed the buildings on the site. She stated that the Restriction did not address the <br />historic landscape of the parcel. The specifics of grounds and lawn maintenance, the <br />future construction and use of the roadway, and the use/preservation of the carriage <br />house were also not included. Mr. Kanter said he felt strongly that a concise and <br />thoughtful Restriction had to be in place before upgrades to the Community Center <br />were commenced. <br />It was noted that the Lexington Historical Society will hold the Restriction, and that it <br />must also be approved by the State Historical Commission. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 5:10 pm. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Nathalie Rice <br />Administrative Assistant <br />Community Preservation Committee <br />2 <br />
