Comments: • The white color was liked by many • The “Mass Ave leg” provides a frame work to fletcher field. • Maybe the “mass ave leg” is too much.” • The lower section in front of the rear canopy was well received. • The arches do serve a structural purpose in the frame design. • Understanding program uses of fletcher field may aide in design. • Landscaping should be considered. It was suggested that future presentations include reference to the LDA Hosmer site study regarding Fletcher field. • The Hosmer House / Fletcher field study discussed proposed uses or continued uses for fletcher field as: • Farmers Market • Skating rink • Open green space (this project adds 10,000 green space to fletcher) • Provide fletcher with water and electrical connections for field user. There was a mention to schedule as this item would be presented at spring Town Meeting for funding so a refined design is necessary as soon as possible to continue development of construction detailing for estimates and pricing. The present status of the Hosmer House was raised. Currently there is a hearing scheduled for 10/13 to approve land issue for relocation to another site. There was also some discussion about any future planning for Fletcher field and the extent to which the field will be landscaped by the Police project. The architect clarified that there were 6 trees along mass ave and fletcher ave that were being called out to be preserved with 1 tree designated to be monitored for its health. Otherwise the balance of fletcher field is being graded to improve drainage and seeded. The next HDC hearing will be on 10/6/22. Motion to adjourn, made and 2nd.
