Also attending were Walter Tonaszuck LPW Director, Police Captain Charles Withrow, Planning Director Bob Bowyer , MAPC representative Angela Frick and Planning Consultant Norma Bogen. 1. The minutes of September 12, 1985 were approved as amended . 2. Discussion - "Lexington Center: Mananging Change" in draft form. Chairman Battin lauded the report, as did others , and discussed how we should go about honing the report into its final form. While it was felt that we should go through the report page by page , some of the attendees were under time constraints due to other appointments . Opportunity was given to those who had to leave to give their general feelings , obser- vations , corrections, etc . DPW Director Tonaszuck approved of the report in general and felt that it gives him a frame of reference to see that things are carried out. Planning Director Bob Bowyer had some comments on the format::and the reconciliation of differing figures of reports done by different people at different times . It would be a help to reconcile these by attribtting the study to the person or group in the proper time frame with an accompanying explan- ation when necessary. Dave 'dells had questions on the businessmen mostly supporting the cost of parking. Discussion ensued showing that it was a shared responsibility of the Town and the businessmen/women. Mr. Wells was not convinced . Jacquie Bateson made some comments on adjustment of parking on streets . Wally Tonaszuck said that the ADC sewer line going through has permitted a few more cars to be squeezed in on the R.R. right of way. Dr. Vinger on Waltham St . (99 ) requested some adjustment of the meters in his area. It was decided that to extend the length of parking time at the meters there would invite parkers from elswhere and then would not be available to his clients as wished . The Committee agreed that it would be wise to recommend that one of the handicap spaces on the busy corner of Muzzey Street next to the Shawmut County Bank be made available for a meter and that the handicap space be relocated to 19 skuzzey Street. It was agreed that norma Bogen would make note of any changes as we progressed through the report page by page, in order that all members could contribute thoughts . We progressed to page 7, and plan to continue at the next meetin`. , which will be • held November 14 , 1985 at noon. L.F.Nichols
