Lexington Design Advisory Committee <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />5. The office parks along Route 2 & 128 in Lexington are screened well and sensitively located <br />within their context. There are very few examples of large parking lots along the highway in <br />Lexington and the DAC feels this is a very dangerous precedent to set for future development <br />and specifically protect Route 2 as a gateway to and from the National Park/ Walden Pond, this <br />project is a good place to start. <br />Signage: <br />1. There were no issues with the sign package as presented, except to say that internal illumination <br />is discouraged and if the signs are to be lit, light fixture cut sheets should be provided for <br />review. <br />The Design Advisory Committee recommends Building 400 be approved with the above-mentioned <br />comments. As the next phase of development (Building 200 & parking lot) gets underway, the <br />applicant is strongly encouraged to work with the DAC, well in advance of upcoming Board of Appeal <br />Hearings, on developing a site design strategy that is more sensitive to Lexington's context. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Colin P. Smith AIA, Chairman <br />Lexington Design Advisory Committee <br />Cc: Board of Selectmen <br />Wendy Manz, Planning <br />Susan Yanofsky, EDO <br />Ed Grant, Attorney for Applicant <br />
