PEWTER POT MIRROR Leo McSweeney reported that the mirror formerly located at the exit driveway beside the Pewter Pot had belonged to the Battle Green Inn and suggested asking the Inn for a replacement. Dave Wells felt that warning signs for walkers would also be helpful . The Selectmen will be informed. PROPOSED DECK - LAYOUT Bob Ossman presented map prints of 40 scale and 60 scale that were taken from existing town files of the Engineering and Planning departments. He has requested 50 scale maps that will include extensions from Woburn Street to the Common and a series of reproduction drawings for planting , crosswalk, parking, design, etc. Mr. Eddison stated that an updated version of the previously presented map will be ready in a week or ten days. Templates of possible deck configurations will be drawn after the completed maps are ready. The Committee is considering configurations seen in Burlington , adding a 100-car parking capacity. The Selectmen have requested that the L.C.C. consider a possible fee structure change, with an increase for street parking which would have to be voted by the Board of Selectmen. This will be discussed in conjunction with possible construction of a deck and its attendant operating costs. Reference was made to a report that had been submitted by Norma Bogen regarding qualifying criteria for availability of funding. Mrs. Bogen stated that another possi- bility for funding could be available through the Division of Capital Planning/Trans- portation which would not require a CARD designation for Lexington. Ed Barsamian mentioned a small deck that had recently been built in Arlington and suggested exploring the sources of funding for it. Several location possibilities of the proposed deck were explored i .e. Craft Cleanser site, Muzzey Street, rear of Cary Library. Mrs. Battin added that a memo had been received from the Board of Selectmen regard- ing a request for additional taxi stands in the Center area which will be discussed at the next L.C.C. meeting. Bob Ossman and Norma Bogen will report back to the L.C.C. on the opinions of the Design Advisory Group regarding the various sites and deck design. Norma Bogen and Bill Bowen will further investigate state funding. Mr. McSweeney questioned how much could realistically be expected without the fund- ing issue being stabilized. CLEANING OF THE CENTER A directive will be sent to all food establishments and CVS with input from the L.C.C. , Board of Selectmen, Board of Health, and the Chamber of Commerce strongly urging the need for support of regular clean up efforts in the Center.
