BOA Meeting May 14, 2015 11 A Board member was concerned with parking cars 3 deep and then shuffling them around when needed, doesn’t think it will work. Most of the cars 3 deep are inventory cars that do not get moved very often until they are sold. Another Board asked when is it that you will be rearranging cars and why. Relative to the hours of operation how long does the movement of cars take. Hours of sales room 8:00 am until 7:00 pm. Will cars move after 7:00? It is rare but can happen. A Board member asked if it was their Intent to reline all the spaces. Yes the whole place will be seal coated and relined. Bryan Levey of 440 Massachusetts Avenue was concerned with employees parking on Massachusetts Avenue. Attorney Tom Fenn representing Barbara Elia 443A Massachusetts Avenue requests a condition be added that cars are never to block or impede the deeded right of way to pass and repass to 443 A (& B) Massachusetts Avenue. Attorney Farrington said they do not need to add 43B Massachusetts Avenue to the condition since it is owned by Lexington Toyota. They have no problem adding that condition. John Bartenstein of 46 Sanderson Road asked if Mr. Gray could give an explanation as to why employees park on Massachusetts Avenue. Every employee is told to park in the lot. Right now they have 30 cars in the lot that are usually stored in Winchester. Over the last couple weeks they have been filming movie in Winchester and needed the cars out of where they are filming. Once they can move the cars back to Winchester the employees should all be able to park in the lot again. 2) The Change in service hours: A Board member was concerned with changing the hours starting at 6:30. The intent is to accommodate customers with a service employee available to check cars in. They would not start repairing vehicles until 7:00. Another Board member also had concerns with car doors closing and cars coming and going so early in the morning. A Board member was puzzled with the hours, hours on the internet are different than what they state they are working.Also was concerned with the noise level. Mr. Gray said they did a noise test and cars travelling on Massachusetts Avenue make more noise than the dealership does. Mr. Gray spoke of the customers that need to come in earlier due to work schedules etc. The Board member said he cannot support the change in hours.
