7.5 Hartwell Innovation Park(C-HIP District)
7.5.1 Purpose and Intent
The Hartwell Innovation Park(C-HIP District), one of Lexington's major employment
centers,possesses excellent opportunities for entrepreneurs and well-established
businesses that promote diversity for industries such as technology, light manufacturing,
research and development, and supporting businesses. The C-HIP District rejuvenates an
existing economic center by balancing a by-right permitting process for desired uses and
aggressive dimensional standards with strict adherence to sustainable building practices,
design guidelines, and other regulations.

Regulations and C-HIP Design Guidelines to effectuate the purposes and intent of this
section. The Planning Board Regulations and the C-HIP Design Guidelines shall guide
Applicants when planning development and redevelopment projects. Such Planning
Board Regulations and C-HIP Guidelines shall provide requirements and guidance for,
among other things, designing sustainable projects, outdoor amenity space, landscaping,
site layout and design, and low energy device utilization.
7.5.4 Development Standards
The following C-HIP Development Standards are intended to promote development that
incorporates the design characteristics of a contemporary business park; is adaptive to
various commercial, office, life/science, R&D, and high-tech uses; and integrates
sustainable materials and best practices. These Development Standards shall be utilized
for new construction, including additions or major renovations to existing structures.
Where a project proposes a major renovation of a section of a building,the unrenovated
portion of the existing building and parking shall not be required to comply with these
Development Standards.
1. Building Heights.
Goal- The C-HIP defines expectations for new development, allowing for flexibility,
and fostering high-quality, sustainable design, as follows.
a. The difference between the upper elevation of each segment of a building or
structure and the centerline grade of any street or bikeway shall be no greater
than the distance from that segment to the centerline of a street multiplied by
1 0 or to the centerline of the Minuteman Bikeway multiplied by 2.0.
b Portions of buildings within fifty(50) feet of a residential zoning district are
limited to fifty (50) feet in height.
c. Buildings that are not designed to meet the requirements to demonstrate
certifiability at the Silver level using the LEED v4 for Building Design and

d. Buildings utilizing on-site combustion for HVAC system operation are limited
to six(6) stories.
2. Design Mixture for Diversity
Goal: The C-HIP requires design methods or strategies that ensure opportunity for
small and large-scale commercial and industrial development through a diversity of
building sizes and a mixture of uses.
a. The first floor of façades facing a public right-of-way shall be varied to ensure
f� the design promotes activity and decrease building scale at the pedestrian
level.
b. Portions of the first floors of buildings facing a street shall be designed to
accommodate uses that interact with the streetscape.
c. The first and top floors of parking structures shall be designed with ceiling
heights that are adaptable to create usable space (ex. flex space, conference
area, fitness centers,recreation space, office space, retail, etc) should the
building use no longer require the use of parking on those floors.
d. Parking structures shall not be allowed directly on Hartwell Avenue or
Bedford Street, unless the first floor facing the public right of way is for
commercial uses that interact with the streetscape.
3. Site Layout.
Goal: Site design and layout should foster the development of components for a
contemporary business park development. Planning and design of the development
site should provide an approach that adapts the development program and site
requirements to the characteristics and constraints of the site.
a. Bedford Street front yard. Along the southwesterly side of Bedford Street
there shall be a front yard of 70 feet measured from the base line of Bedford
Street as shown on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts layout 4689, dated

Alteration layout 5016, dated August 30, 1960
b. Pedestrian Connectivity. Properties containing multiple structures shall
incorporate accessible sidewalks, skybridges, pedestrian bridges,pathways,
and other connections,to establish a walkable campus compliant with 521
CMR.
4. Outdoor amenities.

quality private and publicly-oriented open spaces that contribute to the vitality of the
district and provide opportunities for employees, visitors, and residents to enjoy
passive and active recreational spaces.
a. At least 15% of the developable site area of each lot shall be devoted to
outdoor amenities, including but not limited to courtyards, street-side or
rooftop terraces, plazas, and habitat areas.
i. When a Conservation Restriction is granted for the area within the
developable site area, such area shall be counted towards the outdoor
amenity space

with a size minimum three (3) inch caliper tree every thirty(30) feet.
b. The total number and size of loading bays,per §5.1.5, may be reduced
through a request to the Planning Board during site plan review when a
decrease in size or number of loading bays furthers the purposes of this

November 8,2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1)
The 2021 Special Town Meeting was held remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to hold
the meeting remotely, a virtual platform was developed by Select Board member Joseph Pato.
Electronic voting was conducted via the platform and results were reported on the Town's website as
per usual practice.
The Moderator called the meeting to order at 7.32 p.m. and noted that a staff help line was available
if anyone was experiencing technical difficulties. It was pointed out that participants should be
patient as the system was coming online. A few Meeting Members stated that they were getting an
invalid certificate error.
As many Meeting Members continued to encounter technical difficulties,the Moderator called a
recess at 7.42 p.m. to allow the system to catch up with the demand.

The Moderator thanked Meeting Members for their patience and good humor after the recent
technical difficulties and recognized Mr Pato to give a brief overview of the issues he had addressed.
Mr Pato stated that the customary practice for a virtual Town Meeting was to move the Portal to a
dedicated server, but that the prior version had a different database engine and therefore had caused
7,000 failed connections during the previous evening. He noted that there had been no failed
connections,this evening, and they were back on a shared host that was running the same version of
the software from before, and asked that everyone be gentle in using the system during high volume
moments, and allow a random 2-5 seconds when voting. He further noted that he would be
momtoring for any further issues, and would alert the Moderator if that happened.
The Moderator thanked Mr. Pato for his diligent work in getting it restored overnight.

with the system. She noted that if everything went smoothly, all four dates might not be
required.

comment or speak for or against an Article

Office and Planning Board and at the beginning of a worldwide pandemic. She guided
the Board into this new world of virtual meetings, welcomed our new members, and
made it possible for the Board to propose and Town Meeting to adopt zoning changes
covering everything from basement floors to cell towers. Less visibly, she led the
effort to update the Planning Board's development regulations and worked with the

8:03 p.m. Mr. Hornig presented the Report of the Planning Board and noted that the Planning Board
unanimously recommended Article 12.
8.07 p.m. Ms. Hai stated the unanimous opposition of the Select Board and noted that there had

YARD,MINIMUM REQUIRED
A strip of land of uniform depth required by this bylaw measured from the lot or street line and

8:10 p.m. Mr. Pato noted that Article 12 proposed changes to the Zoning Bylaw to adjust how
fences and retaining walls were defined,where they were placed, and limits on how
tall each structure could be, based on its location. He then explained his Amendment
in further detail and told of witnessing a child bicyclist toppling over a 4 foot retaining
wall. The property owners built a new retaining wall to better level the yard and
added a chain link fence on top of it to provide a safety barrier. He noted that this type
of mitigation would not conform to the proposed Article.
8 11 p.m. Mr. Hornig, Planning Board Chair,noted that the Planning Board unanimously did not
recommended the adoption of the Amendment and that they supported the original
Motion.
8:12 p.m. Ms. Hai stated that Select Board had voted 4 members in favor, and one opposed, with
the one opposed concerned about height issues.
8 13 p.m. Deborah Strod, Pct. 6, asked that Mr. Hornig explain the process of obtaining an
exception if the Amendment was not passed. Mr Hornig noted that permits for higher
fences and retaining walls could be obtained through a Special Permit from the Zoning
Board of Appeals if warranted for certain reasons.
8 14 p.m. Robert Avallone, Pct. 8, questioned how the Planning Board would feel if the
Amendment succeed. Mr. Hornig noted that the Board would continue to support the
Motion as the language was clearer and unambiguous.
8.17 p.m. Steven Heinrich, Pct. 3, pointed out two recent examples of walls being put up in the
front of a property and asked if the Amendment was approved whether they would be
legal, but if not, what would be permittable under the current Article. Mr. Hornig
noted that as with any other zoning change, existing structures would be considered
permitted as retained and maintained indefinitely and would only require a Special
Permit if they wished to expand the structure or replace with larger structure. Mr.
Heinrich followed up with a question as to who would review the Special Permit
application. Mr Hornig noted that this would be the Zoning Board of Appeals.
8:20 p.m. Dawn McKenna, Pct. 6, asked how many referrals had to be brought before the Fence
Viewer Committee due to property disputes.
Mr Honig asked that James Kelly, Building Commissioner, be recognized.
Mr Kelly stated that while he was not the current Fence Viewer,most questions arose
on tear downs with grade changes. He estimated that the Fence Viewer services were
used about a dozen times in a year.
8:23 p.m. Melinda Walker, Pct. 8, questioned Mr. Pato about the story of the bicyclist he had
mentioned in his opening remarks and whether it had occurred on a hill or flat land.
Mr Pato noted that was on a steep hill incline. Ms. Walker then asked if the
homeowner had put up a fence on top of the retaining wall. Mr. Pato stated that there
had already been a retaining wall on his property, and the property owner that lives up
the hill from him built a retaining wall right off of their property line with a chain link
fence on top of it, creating the safety barrier. Ms. Walker questioned whether the
addition of the chain link caused it to be approximately 12 feet tall. Mr. Pato stated
that in this instance, it was 8-10 feet tall. Ms. Walker stated that a 6 foot fence on top
of a 6 foot retaining wall seemed too big to be an allowable structure.
8.25 p.m. John Bartenstein, Pct. 1, asked whether the safe stopping distance issue would be
grandfathered in if it was interfering with a safety issue. Mr. Hornig said that from a
zoning point of view the structure would be considered existing non-conforming and
would be maintained indefinitely, but he would defer to Mr Kelly or the DPW
regarding the question.
150 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
Mr Kelly stated that in the case of a structure that was causing a danger, they would
always work with the homeowner and find alternatives to make it safer.
Mr Bartenstein followed up with a question of whether,with the Planning Board
version in place, any fence over 4 feet needed a Special Permit and safety issues
would be taken into consideration, and that if it could be done as of right, it would be
an existing structure and seemed more difficult to undo.
Mr. Pato stated that even with the Amendment, safe viewing distance is still
considered safe driving distance.
Mr. Bartenstein asked whether there would be a process to address it if it was
considered"as right".
Mr Pato stated that this would be a violation of Zoning if it were built and create safe
stopping distance problems.
Mr. Bartenstein asked how this affected sight lines when trees were present.
Mr Hornig noted that Zoning does not consider trees as "structures or fences" so they
were not constrained with planting of trees or vegetation. He further noted that if they
were extending into the public right-of-way,the Town had rights and could trim them.
Mr Kelly agreed.
Mr. Bartenstein stated that he was opposed to the Amendment due to safety concerns.
8.31 p.m. Jodia Finnagan, Pct. 6, stated that a 4 or 6 foot fence might seem higher depending
upon sightlines and questioned whether the concern was sightlines or viewing a tall
structure.
Mr. Pato noted that sightlines were taken care of in a different section and that the goal
was to allow a fence to exist over a retaining wall.
8:34 p.m. John Rossi, Pct. 1, noted that if the fence were only 4 feet, unwanted animals could '°�''
come into the yard such as coyotes and therefore supported the Amendment.
8.35 pm. Katherine Reynolds, Pct. 1, asked whether 6 ft. fences were allowed on top of a
retaining wall or on the property without the Amendment. Mr Pato stated that they
were, but in small yards, the setback was an undue burden on a property owner
8.37 p.m. Mr. David Kanter, Pct. 7, noted that this was an interestmg discussion but that he was
more inclined to not make it"by right"as long as a Special Permit process was in
place.
8:38 pm. Tad Dickenson, 48 Hancock Street, stated that total fence height was brought up in
Planning Board. Developers wanted flat lawns rather than yards that conform with
natural grade and this could create retaining walls over 4 feet, where safety dictates an
additional fence so that people do not fall off 6 foot retaining walls with 6 foot fences
have been proposed, example 53 Hancock Street.
8.40 p.m. The Moderator opened the voting portal on the Amendment. The Moderator noted
that a simple majority was required on the Amendment.

8.44 p.m. The Moderator called debate and questions opened on the Main Motion of Article 12.
8:46 p.m. A statement was read by Public Information Officer, Sean Duggan.
Joseph Barr, 9 Reeves Road, Bedford, stated that he was a local builder, building in
Lexington for 30 years, and he opposed limiting the height of retaining walls near side
and rear lot boundaries, mainly as each lot is shaped and graded differently and did not
feel that one rule could apply to all lots and circumstances. He further noted that in
prior cases,the Building Department would allow encourage walls on lot lines to fix
grading and address runoff. He stated that decisions regarding retaining wall design
should be made on a case by case and not subject to one blanket rule.
8 47 p.m. Mark Sandeen, Select Board Member, questioned how the safe stopping requirements
were calculated and what expertise is needed to determine them.
James Mallory, Town Manager, stated that while there wasn't an exact standard, it had
been discussed that the AASHTO standard would be utilized, and factors in
consideration would include speed limits, traffic control devices, whether there was
one-way,two-way, or four way stop signs,hills and grades. Triangulation would be
performed to dictate how far back from the street corners it needs to be to allow
adequate sightlines. This would most likely require a person from Engineering to
complete.
8:48 p.m. Mr. Sandeen asked whether Town Counsel could weigh in on who would be
responsible for safe stopping distances.
Mina Makarious, Town Counsel, stated that it would be the Building Inspector,
although when matters came up requiring other staff, it had been the practice to
consult with other Departments.
Mr. Sandeen asked if the situation were"by right"how the process would occur.
Counsel Makarious stated that it would depend on the type of project. Some matters
arose with tear downs and rebuilds, so it would often happen during the building
permit review phase. He further noted that it was his understanding that for an already
existing structure with a fence, a building permit was not always needed so it would
become a matter for enforcement.
Mr. Kelly asked Mr. Sandeen to clarify the term"by right".
Mr. Sandeen questioned whether a resident could build a fence over a retaining wall
and then be required by the Town to remove it.
Town Counsel and Mr Kelly stated that if it was new construction, yes, it could be
removed,that would be appropriate enforcement, but not if it predates first notice of
this bylaw, it would have pre-existing nonconforming protection.
8:51 p.m. David Kanter, Pct. 7, asked whether the language was referring to a sightline.
8.53 p.m. Mr. Hornig stated that the language in the bylaw referred to "safe stopping sight
distance on a street". He further stated that this meant that the obstruction does not
make it unsafe for someone driving at the appropriate speed limit.
8.53 p.m. Mr. Hornig noted that this was summation and they were balancing with exceptions
and setbacks handled by a Special Permit and hoped by the new, clearer language to
avoid disputes in the future.
8 54 p.m. The Moderator opened the voting portal, explaining that a two-thirds vote would be

found that those changes went beyond recognized diversity and equity and appear to
weaken Special Permit review by the SPGA or the review standards for site plan review.
9'02 p.m. Jeanne Krieger, ZBA member stated that the Zoning Board had reviewed paragraph 2,
and had voted unanimously that the changes not be adopted. While they agreed with the
goals, Section 9.4.2 does not give the ZBA sufficient guidance to make rationally based
Special Permit decisions, and that some of the language was vague. She further stated
that it seemed to ask the Board to consider subject outside of the Board's Zoning

expertise. Evaluating the public health impact was problematic and would require a
Health consultant,which could potentially increase costs and slow the process.
9:04 p.m. The Moderator called debate and questions open on Article 13.
9.04 p.m. Leonard Morse-Fortier, Pct. 7, urged members to vote"no" and stated that it was akin to
a"trojan horse" stripping accountability and removing the words "safe" and"safety"
9:06 p.m. Wendy Reasenburg, Pct. 8, asked whether the vote could be split into sections.
The Moderator noted that she anticipated a motion to Amend by substitution, and
recommend waiting until that took place.
9.07 p.m. Deborah Strod, Pct. 6, asked whether Counsel felt that there was weakening in sections 2
and 3
Counsel Makarious stated that they had reviewed it closely and it was hard to say
whether something was weakened or not because sections 2 and 3 include a list of criteria
which created a balancing. He noted that in the current Section 2, one item read"social,
economic, or community needs that are served by the proposal" and this section would
now read"social, equity, diversity, public health or community needs and that change
may highlight different equity or health impacts but took away"economic" and that
would be up to the Zoning Board where those words fit in. He summarized that it was a
different weighing of factors.
Ms. Strod further asked for some guidance of factors and whether other items could be
considered in that place. Counsel Makarious stated that if something had been removed
and a project fell into that category, an applicant who had been denied a Special Permit
on that grounds would have good reason to challenge,but with the list of criteria he did
not anticipate too many things falling to the side. He further stated that the removal of a
factor or the changing of language could be considered by a court when trying to
consider its meaning if it found it ambiguous as it normally started with what the
language said, and if they could not do that it would go with the language changed from
to determine what the new language meant.
9 10 p.m. Ms. Strod asked why the Zoning Board found the language in section 2 more difficult to
interpret than 3 as they were similar
9 12 p.m. Jeanne Krieger, Zoning Board of Appeals Member,noted that they looked specifically at
section 2 as they were the Special Permit granting authority for a number of types of
applications. They did not consider review standards for Planning Board. They had not
had issues in determining social and community needs, but some of the wording was
vague and could make their decisions difficult.
Ms. Strod asked Mr. Hornig to explain how 2 and 3 played out.
Mr. Hornig stated that section 9.4.2 and section 9 5.5 actually served somewhat different
purposes. He noted that 9.4.2 provided for general criteria that the Zoning Board of
Appeals, and occasionally the Planning Board,were expected to use when granting or
denying a Special Permit and were deliberately written"generally" because Special
Permits covered a wide range of areas,while not being so specific that you didn't get the
generalities. 9.5.5 was not a list of criteria but rather a list of areas in which the Planning ,
Board was permitted to write criteria and 9.5.5 would be looked at when writing
regulations.
Ms. Strod pointed out that the first piece of applies widely to all of 135 and was in favor
of sections 1 and 4.
9 16 p.m. Matt Daggett, Pct. 2, made a Motion to Amend Article 13 as a substitute Motion, in order
to support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion(DEI) improvements, Site Plan Review
guidelines, and offered changes as follows.

9.20 p.m. Charles Hornig, Planning Board Chair, stated the unanimous recommendation of the
Board to Adopt the Amendment.
9.21 p.m. Jill Hai, Select Board Chair, reported the support of four members of the Board, and
one member who was awaiting the discussion on the floor of Town Meeting.
Jeanne Krieger, Zoning Board, stated that no position had been taken from the Zoning
Board.
9.22 p.m. The Moderator called debate and questions open on the Amendment of Article 13
9.23 p.m. Alessandro Alessandrini, Pct. 4, questioned what mechanisms were in place to ensure
the bylaw was enforced.
9:25 p.m. Counsel Makarious stated that if the issue were a Special Permit,the Zoning Board of
Appeals would be reviewing the criteria in an open meeting and subject to a public
hearing with further rights of appeal from denial or by an applicant to a court in the
case of approvals,the abutters might have a right to appeal. With regards to most of
the criteria listed are in items in 2 and 3 deal with when approvals happen as opposed
to dimensional controls on the ground it would be at the permitting stage that they
would have their most force. Items 1 and 4 may come up when no permit is needed at
all and the Building Inspector is trying to determine whether a request of
determination of what a"household" is to help with interpretation and also with rights
to appeal.
Mr Alessandnni asked what mechanisms in Town would residents reach out to if they
felt they had been discriminated against.
Counsel Makanous noted that section 1 wouldn't create any new private cause of
action, but might come up if there was something before the ZBA and trying to
determine how some of the criteria below or any other criteria with someone who felt
that an interpretation better met the goals that Town Meeting had set, could make that
point known at a hearing in support of a petition or opposition to a petition. If there
was a denial, the applicant could raise this issue of interpretation.
Mr Allesandrim noted that he hoped Section 1 was not added dust to get votes.
9:26 p.m. Deborah Strod, Pct. 6, stated that she was in support of the substitute Motion and
thanked the Planning Board and Mr. Daggett for their commitment to take concrete
action to change the wording.

November 8,2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
9:27 p.m. Wendy Reasenberg, Pct. 8, noted that she could see that section 1 was a statement of
principal and section 4 provided a definition but asked why sections 2 and 3 were
different than what is usually at the Planning Board and asked why they repeated.
Mr. Hornig stated that section 1 was a"statement of intent"with 2, 3, and 4 attempting
to actually implement principals in the permit process and noted that it was sometimes
difficult from a Resolution to putting it into effect. They hoped to increase the weight
of DEI in the permitting decisions for Zoning Board and Planning board and reduce
-- the impact of considerations that have been listed but have historically been used to
defeat DEI in Lexington and elsewhere.
9:28 p.m. Wendy Reasenberg,Pct. 8 asked why this seemed to duplicate things already in
proposals for Special Permits and questioned whether the extra details helped to
accomplish the goals.
Mr. Hornig asked that the Amendment be added to the screen and noted that at 9.4.2,
it makes changes to DEI and removing things such as "neighborhood social
structures"that have historically have been used to defeat those goals.
Ms. Reasenberg felt that it could be further simplified m order to be better understood
and that clanty and consensus should be addressed in sections 2 and 3.
9:31 p.m. Lin Jensen, Pct. 8, asked that the Amendment be placed on screen and asked if there
were any change to section 3 The proposed Amendment was shown on-screen.
9:33 p.m. Mr Daggett said that he appreciated that the Planning Board was taking an important
step from a high level Resolution to putting it into practice. He further stated that if
the Members were only interested in sections 1 and 4,that a substitute Motion via a
request to the Moderator
9.35 p.m. Voting commenced on the substitute Amendment. The Moderator noted that a simple
majority was required to pass the Amendment.

Jeanne Krieger, Zoning Board member stated that she could not speak for the Zoning
Board.
9.40 p.m. The Moderator called debate and questions open on Article 13, as Amended.
9:41 p.m. David Kanter thought the screen had mentioned the requirement of a majority vote. The
Moderator explained that this may have been up for the Motion to Substitute, but that the
upcoming vote would require a 2/3rds passage.
9.42 p.m. Alessandro Alessandrim, Pct. 4 stated that he would vote no because part 1 of the Article
should be the sentiment of the Town expressed across all bylaws and felt that it was put in
to make the rest of the Motion more palatable.
9.43 p.m. Deborah Strod, Pct. 6, stated that she was supportive of the Article and that the language
of equity shouldn't be held in higher standard than existing wording and was glad that the
Town was working together to create a framework.
158 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
9.45 p.m. Jessie Steigerwald,Pct. 8, asked how the Planning Board would feel based on the results
of the vote and whether he had a sense from Town Meeting based on the discussion.
Mr. Hornig stated that they would have a sense more from the vote rather than the
discussion and that how the vote was enacted would help them see if the Town were
willing to make changes with real effects and that this would help set the Board's
priorities and goals pursuing DEI moving forward.
9:48 p.m. Melinda Walker, Pct. 8, spoke in favor of the Article and stated that common sense would
need to be applied about whether certain things had impact on DEI and that she looked at �,
this as an opportunity for the Town and could help first time home buyers. She noted that
the Town could insist that more first time homebuyer and affordable housing
opportunities become available for people who would like to participate and for people to
be able to take advantage of—mostly being homeowners. She appreciated that the
Planning Board had taken this on as a first step
9 51 p.m. Richard Canale, Pct. 9,planned to vote yes, but wished section 1 had stronger language
and hoped that in the future, it would be strengthened to move toward better equality and
equity

9:57 p.m. Charles Hornig, Chair, Planning Board,presented the video for Article 14 and
reported the unanimous recommendation of the Planning Board and noted that this
was the first step toward enacting change in their climate goals.
9 58 p.m. Mr. Sandeen, Select Board Member, reported that the Select Board unanimously
recommended passage of the Article.
10:01 p.m. The Moderator called debate and questions open on Article 14.
10.02 p.m. Louis Postel, 58 Hancock Street, stated that there was too much suffering in the mining
of materials for solar battenes, and objected to the Article as he considered the mining
of cobalt a global exploitation and created ethical issues.
10.05 p.m. David Kanter, Pct. 7 noted that the Planning Board had considered this a small step
forward and questioned what more might have been done.
Mr Hornig stated that there is so much to be done in a Town like Lexington in order to
meet their extensive climate goals. This was the piece that they chose to adopt in the
Zoning to streamline one particular aspect in order generate local energy and that
photovoltaic seemed to be the only clean energy that was applicable to Lexington and
they were doing incremental steps in order to move forward with their goals.
Mr. Kanter congratulated the Planning Board on their efforts and hoped they would be
able to take more steps in the future.
10.07 p.m. Dawn McKenna, Pct. 6, asked how historic properties either in or out of the Historic
District would be protect historic structures and landscapes.
160 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
Mr. Hornig noted that in terms of structures in the Historic District, the rules of the
Historic District Commission would continue to apply in full force, and that they had
supported ground mounted systems over building mounted systems, so streamlining
ground systems was in line with that. He noted that in the case of a roof mounted system
on a historic property detracting from the histonc character house, a ground mounted
system might be the best approach. He stated that he would defer to Ms. Fenollosa for
information outside of the District.
10 17 p.m. Ms. Fenollosa, Historical Commission Chair, stated that she would defer to Town
Counsel as their definition of demolition referred to the tearing down of all or a portion
of a building. The act of constructing on the grounds would not be covered by a —
demolition permit, and they would not be involved m with a building permit.
Ms. McKenna followed up with the question regarding structures on small lots and
asked whether there was a limit to the size of the facilities.
Mr. Hornig stated that there were different categories but that they were required by
State law to permit solar energy systems unless they could demonstrate how they would
affect public health or welfare. He did not believe esthetic concerns would enter into
that and they tried to limit visual impact.
10:18 p.m. David Kaufman, Pct. 3, noted that he supported the Motion, but wanted to address the
issues raised by Mr. Kostel's comments. He stated that cobalt was not a usual part of a
typical solar array and that they were usually made from sand/silicone and the pictures
of batteries was also not typical. He further stated that solar arrays could consist of glass
or tile that covered a building and could also generate electricity.
10:19 p.m. Nyles Barnert, Pct. 4, stated that a site plan review would need to be done. He asked
whether there had been guidelines put in place for the staff to do so
Mr Hornig noted that the Planning Board had adopted guidelines and posted them on
the website.
10 19 p.m. Noah Michelson, Pct. 1, supported the Article and thanked the Planning Board. He
noted that addressing climate change was an important issue faced by the Town, as well
as the global community, and was glad that they had balanced modern pragmatism with
action.
10:20 p.m. Delanot Bastien, Pct. 3, stated that he was concerned about the possible toxic materials
in the systems and wanted to be socially responsible regarding the possible impact to
other communities around the world and asked if the safety of the systems could be
discussed.
Mr Hornig stated that while modern solar systems contained some small amounts of
material of concern, solar arrays tended to have 20-25 years of lifespan and then could
still be used,but in a lesser capacity.
10:24 p.m. Mark Sandeen, Select Board Member,noted that often there was a 25-30 year warranty,
but they could last longer–and they were primarily made of glass, aluminum, silicon
and highly recyclable elements and could be reused.
10.25 p.m. Victoria Blier,Pct. 9,asked a Point of Order regarding the conversation–and asked the
Moderator whether the current discussion was within scope.
The Moderator stated that she had allowed it and stood by that decision.
10.26 p.m. Anthony Galaitsis,Pct. 5,asked why paragraph 4.2.3 regarding lot installation areas had
been moved further down the hierarchy of the Zoning Bylaw

Meeting Member George Burnell.
Mr Burnell had passed away on November 3`d at the age of 92. George grew up in
Lexington, received a degree Lexington High School and received degrees from
Boston University and the University of Akron. After serving m the Air Force,
George had a long, distinguished career in manufacturing and business, and a
consulting career that was active until his time of passing. The Moderator noted that
Mr Burnell loved Lexington and he brought his great intelligence and kindness to a
lifetime of service that included 9 years on the Appropriation Committee, 6 years on
the Capital Expenditures Committee, two terms as a Select Board Member and more
than 40 years as Town Meeting Member and had been active until his death. The
Moderator mentioned benefiting from his wise and thoughtful counsel, and that
Lexington owed him a great debt for his efforts in LexMedia, speaking eloquently for
senior services, or working with the Commission on Disability to address wheelchair
obstacles in Town–and perhaps most notably, showing absolute advocacy for
maintaining Lexington's capital assets, including the Schools, Town Buildings, and
roadway infrastructure.
The Moderator noted that while preparing for the Memorial, she found a quote
attributed to George, which stated, "Within the common geographical location that we
call Lexington,there are smaller communities that together comprise a whole. Each a
fundamental part of our Town, and when woven together they become the fabric of
our society–rich in color and fiber–vibrant in personality."
The Moderator extended deepest sympathies to Mr Burnell's wife, Mary, an active
Town Meeting Member, and to his extended family She thanked them for sharing
him and said that he would be missed.
The Moderator asked that Meeting Members observe a Moment of Silence. —.J

developments, as defined under the state Housing Choice law as codified at Massachusetts General
Laws Chapter 40A, Section 1A. Open space residential developments would be subject to limits on
gross floor area and require the preservation of open land in its natural state and the provision of
affordable dwelling units. This amendment to the Zomng Bylaw would also provide incentives to —
preserve historic buildings and require site plan review by the Planning Board.

7:50 p.m. Charles Hornig, Planning Board Chair,presented information for Article 15 and
reported the that the Planning Board recommended the Motion with a vote of 4 in
favor and 1 opposed and noted that this was the culmination of 9 months of work and
helped to address an alternative to a conventional subdivision. Mr Hornig noted that
the Planning Board believed that with OSRD requirements it could result in fewer
multi-million dollar houses, and more of the types of developments that the Town
needed. Mr Hornig stated that due to the current staffing challenges, the Planning
Board would not be likely to pursue the ORSD approach further at this time if rejected
by Town Meeting.
7:58 p.m. Jill Hai, Select Board Chair, reported that the Select Board had 3 members opposed
and 2 in favor of the Article. The 3 members who opposed passage expressed support
for the goals of the bylaw, but had concerns about inadequate sustainability
requirements and preferred to develop the bylaw and bring it back at a later date. Ms.
Hai noted that the Ad Hoc Special Permit Residential Development Committee and
the Housing Partnership Board, which had advised the Select Board on Housing, both
supported the Article unanimously
Ms. Hai asked Town Meeting to recognize Ms. Foutter, of the Housing Partnership
Board.
8.00 p.m. Jeri Foutter, Chair of the Housing Partnership Board, shared some highlights from the
November 4th joint meetmg of the Housing Partnership Board and Planning Board.
Ms. Foutter noted that from 2011 to 2020 almost 800 small homes had been torn down
and replaced with homes that were up to 3 times more expensive than the homes they
replaced. The current median price for a home in Lexington exceeded 1 million
dollars. She noted that there were long waiting lists for low, moderate, and affordable
units and that there had been 176 applicants for the 6 units available at Farm View.
She further noted that there had been many discussions regarding the need for options
for seniors, and that this plan offered those options with smaller units allowing them to
remain in Lexington. Ms. Foutter stated that the Housing Partnership Board
recognized the efforts of the Planmng Board during the meeting and voted
unanimously to approve Article 15.
8:01 p.m. The Moderator called debate and questions open on Article 15.
Robert Balaban, Pct. 5, asked what is meant by"natural state" described in Article.
Mr. Hornig, Planning Board Chair, stated that the words come from the State statute
that created OSRD developments. The land would need to have a conservation
restriction that would describe any and all requirements.
Mr Balaban asked whether a groomed lawn would be acceptable.
Mr Hornig stated that there are 2 categories in the bylaw The first is that portion that
kept the land"open and natural"and the other 15%is for a variety purposes such as
recreation, where a lawn would be appropriate
8:04 p.m. John Zhao, Pct. 5, stated that in 2019 there had been a"Lexington for All Ages"needs
assessment and that the results indicated that the vast majority of seniors would choose
166 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
single family, senior mdependent living, or apartments. He further noted that
"diversity" included people of different backgrounds, including economic, age, and
religion and that Housing for seniors was a goal. Mr. Zhao asked whether there could
be senior living units as an incentive criteria for developers.
Mr Hornig stated that under the Fair Housing Act, housing developments cannot be
partially age restricted. He further noted that the flexibility of unit types created in
OSRD, some units could address accessibility.
Mr Zhao asked whether Fair Housmg Law only applied based on age, and asked if the
structure having single floor living should be allowed.
Christina Marshall, Town Counsel, noted that this was a possibility but explicitly
designed for a particular usage such as single family living could be a possibility but
something designed for a particular age group would be in line with Mr Hornig
mentioned.
Mr Zhao stated that most seniors could not live in a multi-level dwelling so wondered
if we could add criteria such as a single floor living arrange.
Ms. Marshall stated that they could, but not towards a specific age group
8 10 p.m. Mr Hornig stated that they learned while they developed the plan that they could not
have accessibility rules inconsistent with the regulations of the Architectural
Accessibility Board so could not require something stricter than what they required.
8:10 p.m. Wendy Manz, Pct. 9, stated that she was strongly in favor of the Article and noted that
it was one more tool to encourage builders to develop and create housing that was
more varied and hoped to encourage affordable and moderate diverse housing. She
noted that a density bonus was offered to developers for smaller, more clustered
housing, and addressed moving toward the goals of open space and affordable and
moderate housing.
8 12 p.m. Leonard Morse-Fortier said that the Comprehensive Planning Advisory Committee
(CPAC)had been working for the last 3 years to formulate a comprehensive plan. He
stated that he hoped that the Members would vote "no" in anticipation of a better
Article for the Annual Town Meeting. He said that to vote on this version of the
Article,prior to the completion of the plan, seemed inappropriate.
8:14 p.m. A statement from a residents was read by Public Information Officer, Sean Duggan.
Margaret Heitz, 335 Merritt Road, said that she supports the Article and stated that the
perceived the problem of increased housing density as overblown. She noted that she
lived in a single family home near 341 Merritt, an 8 unit development, with a
driveway that led to her street. She estimated up to 24 occupants. She further stated
that she had suffered no inconveniences from the larger occupancy and encouraged
others to vote "yes" on the Article.
8 15 p.m. Michael Boudett, Pct. 4, asked the members of the Select Board to state who had been
opposed to the Article and asked that they delineate what they felt needed more study
Mr Pato, Select Board Member, stated that he was concerned about changes in"by
right" developments that have come, in his thinking,without adequate controls and
provisions for sustainability,particularly ones that would meet the spirit of Town
Meeting's vote to addressing the impact of greenhouse gas generation and hoped that
further study would address some of his concerns and resolve them before the Annual
Town Meeting.
8 18 p.m. Mr Sandeen, Select Board Member, stated that he strongly agreed with the points Mr
Pato had made and said that before"by right"zoning,they needed to ensure that they
were developing for the long haul, and that new construction should be consistent to
Article 29 that had been passed at the Annual Town Meeting.
167
November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
Ms. Barry, Select Board Member, echoed those concerns and stated that she felt the
Article didn't seem ready yet, and needed further discussion and wide-spread
conversation.
Mr. Boudett asked what for an example of a type greenhouse gas requirement would
be more acceptable.
Mr Pato stated that those requirements enacted by Article 29 were appropriate, but at
the current time they were being held in abeyance by the Legislature for all new
growth in zoning.
8:20 p.m. Betsey Weiss, Pct. 2, stated that she fully supported OSRD as another tool to be used
and that they needed more affordable and attainable and diverse housing. She had
attended the September 21st meeting for CPAC on Housing and the Summary seemed
to back that up and that zoning needed to be amended to allow for a more diverse
housing stock, while preserving open space. She further stated that waiting for CPAC
study did not seem to be a reason to not pass the Article at this time.
8.23 p.m. Thomas Shiple, Pct. 9, stated that he supported the idea of greater housing as well as
denser housing,but that the proposal did not seem fully vetted. He would prefer a
financial analysis and modeling. He commended Mr Daggett on his work, but stated
that they needed more time.
8.24 p.m. Sarah Higginbotham, Pct. 5, asked if the Article were not passed, whether the
Planning Board would refine it and take it up for another meeting.
Mr Hornig stated that due to staff challenges they were unlikely to take the OSRD
approach at this time. He further noted that they no longer had a Planning Director
and that the staff did not feel they had the capacity to address any zomng initiatives
until the reorganizational process was complete and are able to hire a new Director—
"-- he noted that the staff strongly suggested that the Planning Board not pursue any
zomng imtiatives in Sprmg 2022,which meant waiting until 2023.
Ms. Higginbotham stated that she deeply cares about diversity in Lexington and was
disappointed with this answer.
8:26 p.m. Robert Creech, Precinct 7,moved to Amend Article 15, as follows:
MOTION 1
A) Amend the proposed Table of Uses,Row A.1.06, under Item 1, as follows:
In the RO, RS and RT Districts, require a Special Permit instead of the proposed
Site Plan Review.
a. For the RO Distnct,replace "R"with"SP"
b. For the RS District, replace"R"with"SP"
c. For the RT District,replace "R"with"SP"
Mr. Creech then made a Presentation relating to changing the Main Motion.
8:29 p.m. Charles Hornig, Chair, Planning Board,reported the recommendation of the Planning
Board with a vote of 4 to 1 to recommend rejection of the proposed Amendment. He
noted that 1)the State Law deliberately encourages "by nght" OSRD provisions by
making them easier to approve. Approving the Amendment would remove that
encouragement and make the Main Motion require significantly more votes to pass,
likely defeating it and making the Amendment pointless, and 2) it was impractical as
they removed the criteria judge it, and the Planning Board would have no guidance to
offer and developers would not have guidance, either.
8.32 p.m. Jill Hai, Select Board Chair,reported that the Select Board had 2 members in favor
and 1 opposed with 2 awaiting discussion.
8.33 p.m. Jeri Foutter, Housing Partnership Board Chair, noted that Housing Partnership Board
had not voted on the Amendment.
168 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
8:34 p.m. The Moderator opened the floor for discussion and debate on the Amendment.
Melinda Walker, Pct. 8, asked whether they should wait to hear the report from the
CPAC and wondered if it would be an Article or recommendation and and how far
along in the process it had gotten.
Mr. Hornig stated that they currently had a subcommittee (CPAC) and they were
working to build a draft comprehensive plan for adoption and it would hopefully be
available early next year. Data had been collected but it hadn't been rolled out to the
public or Planning Board and that they would be discussing at a high level in an
upcoming meeting. The CPAC was due to give a presentation with more details at
their public forum on December 7th and then the Planning Board would be discussing
in further detail at their meeting on the December 15th He noted that they were
hoping the Planning Board would be able to adopt the Comprehensive Plan in the first
quarter of 2022. Mr. Horning stated the Plan was just a document that gave
recommendations for Town goals and implementation steps. These steps would
hopefully be enacted in the late 2022/early 2023
8.37 p.m. Mr. Leonard Morse-Fortier, noted a Point of Order that Mr Creech was a liaison from
the CPAC to the Planning Board and hoped he would answer the question.
Mr. Creech stated that the Comprehensive Plan had a housing section and defined
housing needs, and made recommendations, but would not include the bylaw.
8.43 p.m. Allain Levine, Pct. 8, asked what level of discretion the Special Permit granting
authority would have if the Amendment were passed and asked to what extent they
would be bound to approve/disapprove a Special Permit.
Counsel Marshall stated that the bylaw had some general criteria for the granting of
Special Permits and also specific criteria for specific sections, so the Special Permit
granting authority would be subject to that general criteria, but nothing specific to the
proposal.
8 45 p.m. Mr Hornig stated that under Site Plan Review, the Planning Board reviews the
proposal, and if it complies with the Zoning and Planning Board recommendations,
they must approve it,but they could impose reasonable conditions that didn't prohibit
the development. They could also further the goals of the Regulations and bylaw but
they couldn't touch the fundamental characteristics but could ensure that as it was
built, it conformed with the letter and spirit of the bylaw
Mr Levine asked whether the Planning Board needed to approve a project if it meets
the cnteria.
Mr. Hornig noted that the Special Permit can be granted if it complies with all the
rules and they would need to have a very good reason to deny it.
8:50 p.m. Deborah Strod, Pct. 6, asked for confirmation that the vote would require 2/3rds.
The Moderator stated that as this was an Amendment it would require a simple
majority.
Members continued to debate and discuss the Amendment.
8 57 p.m. The Moderator noted that thirty minutes of debate/discussion had ended.
8:58 p.m. In summation,Mr Creech, stated that builders had plenty of incentives working in the
Lexington market with the current house prices.
9:00 p.m. Voting commenced on the Amendment to Article 15, Motion 1

Motion.
Rodney Cole, Pct. 9, stated that this was a positive tool and when the Comprehensive
Plan was available, they could have other things to act on. He noted that this was a
positive step forward.
9.05 p.m. Robert Avallone, Pct. 8, raised a Point of Order and asked whether the next step
should be to continue with Mr. Creech's other Amendments.
The Moderator replied that Mr. Creech had chosen to do them one at a time.
9:07 p.m. Members continued discussions including questions regarding rezoning, and using the
OSRD as a tool instead of conventional building.
9 17 p.m. The Moderator recognized Mr Creech and strongly suggested he bring forward one
Amendment that included both planned motions and they would be discussed and
voted at the same time.
9:19 p.m. Robert Creech, Precinct 7,moved to Amend Article 15, as follows:
Motion 2
B) Amend Section 6.12.4, under Item 3, by striking the condition"Where on street
parking is not available" as follows
i. Visitor parking. Where on street parking i3 not available,A
minimum of 1 additional parking space per every 4 dwelling units
shall be provided for visitor parking.
Motion 3
Amend 6.12.5, under item 3 to require a minimum of 45%of the developable site
area be set aside as open space as follows
a) At lease 45% of the developable site area within an OSRD
shall be set aside as open land, as described in MGL c 40A, § 1A.
9:22 p.m. Charles Hornig, Chair, Planning Board, reported the recommendation of the Planning
Board with a vote of 5/0 to recommend Motion 2 of the Amendment as it addressed a
minor oversight.
Mr. Hornig stated that the Board recommended rejection of Motion 3 in a vote of 4/1
based on feedback from a developer working with the Select Board Advisory
Committee, who noted that preserving 50% of the developable site area is already the
main obstacle using OSRD provision. It is likely that preserving 60%was not
achievable and making the change would result in preserving no open space.
The Moderator asked for clarification regarding the "60%" and noted that the motion
had asked for 45%.
Mr Hornig noted that between open space and open land and noted that Mr. Creech
had asked for the open land requirement to be 45%and leaving the 15%requirement
for other open space, making a total of 60%. The end result was that 60% of the
developable site could not be used for buildings or driveways, etc.
9:25 p.m. Jill Hai, Select Board Chair,reported that the Select Board had 1 member in favor and
4 awaiting discussion on Motion 2 and on Motion 3 there were 2 members in favor, 1
opposed, and 2 awaiting discussion.
9:25 p.m. The Moderator opened the floor for discussion and debate on the Amendments.
170 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
Robert Avallone, Pct. 8, asked the Select Board to clarify who was in favor/opposed
on Motion number 3
Ms. Hai stated that she had been a"no" for Motion 3 and largely for the reasons Mr
Hornig stated regarding exempting 60% of the land for preservation.
Mr Pato stated that now that he has heard the Planmng Board he also supported
Motion 2 and he was satisfied with Mr. Creech's Amendment in Motion 3
Mr Sandeen stated that he would echo Mr Pato's comments and would also support
Motion 2.
Ms. Hai noted that this would update their tally to 3 members in favor of Motion 2,
with 2 members waiting.

members of the public how to register comments.
7:38 p.m. After attendance was complete,the Moderator stated that they had sufficient quorum
(158)to move forward, and opened the meeting under Article 1, Reports.
Ms. Hai moved that the Report of the Town Manager should be received and placed

The Moderator noted that he would first accept two other Reports before recognizing
Mr. Malloy.
As there were no objections, Report was received and placed on file.
Mr Peters, Planning Board,motioned to receive the written Report of the Planning
Board for Article 17 and place it on file.
As there were no objections, Report was received and placed on file.
Mr Charles Lamb, Capital Expense Committee,motioned to receive the written
Supplemental Capital Expense Committee Report for Article 5 and place it on file.
As there were no objections, Report was received and placed on file.
7:40 p.m. The Moderator then recognized James Malloy, Town Manager, for remarks.
Mr. Malloy noted that during FY21 the Town built on an already strong financial
condition. He offered the following other information.
• General Fund revenue was projected at$244.5M and came in at$246 5 —a surplus of$2M. This
was dnven primarily by building permits which came in$1 6M higher than projected due to
strong commercial development and continued residential development.
• General Fund expenses were budgeted at$225 8M and came in at$216.5 —due in some part to
reduced spending due to the pandemic, resulting in a turn-back of$9.3M.
• Together,these provided an available resource of$11M available for future budgets, specifically
as Free Cash available for FY23, which would be used for cash capital and to fund OPEB and
CSF reserves.
174 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
FY22 had started strong as new levy growth was projected at $2.75M when the FY2022 budget was
developed. The actual amount certified by DOR was $4.98M which again reflects growth in both
Commercial and Residential development.
At this Town Meeting, it was recommended to use the additional $2.2M to fund the increases in the
Westview Cemetery and Police Station capital articles. Funding these projects with cash instead of
issuing additional debt would save the town future interest costs. They also recommended that the
remaining amount of new growth then be set aside into the Capital Stabilization Fund to help offset
future debt service.
In Fiscal 2022 the final payment on the two land purchases that were approved in 2016— 173
Bedford St(site of Temp Fire/Police Stations) and 20 Pelham Rd(site of Lexington Children's Place)
would be made. Those purchases totaled $12.4M and were paid down over a 5-year period.
COVID Expenses and Federal Funds—FEMA, CARES Act, and American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA)
• From the Spring of 2020 through December of this year(2021)the Town had been approved for
$2.94M in expense reimbursement from CARES Act, and$423K from FEMA (with another
$200K pending reimbursement)
• This has covered many pandemic related expenses including overtime, PP&E and specialized
equipment for the Health Department and Emergency Responders, for town-wide testing events
and pooled testing in schools, IT equipment and subscriptions for remote work and virtual
meetings (such as Town Meetings), HVAC improvements to improve air quality in school and
municipal buildings and curbside Library service.
• Additionally,the school department received$1 6M from CARES Act via an ESSER grant.
• Going forward, the Town now has $9 9M available through ARPA that can be spent over the next
3 calendar years and the Select Board and staff are currently working on how those funds will be
spent.
Mr. Malloy took a moment to thank Nathalie (Nadie)Rice for her many years of service as the
Lexington Town Clerk and welcomed Mary de Alderete,the new Town Clerk. He mentioned that
they were looking forward to working with her in the upcoming years.
7 49 p.m. The Moderator then asked Ms. Hai for a procedural motion to take up Articles 4, 7,
and 17
Ms. Hai moved that Town Meeting take up Articles 4, 7, and 17.

177
November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
8:32 p.m. Mr. Cronin followed up regarding costs of home construction versus commercial
construction and noted they were different due to materials such as steel and masonry
being used. He further noted that public bid projects used prevailing wage rates,
which was significantly different from home building contractors and that due to
delays the cost of the project had significantly increased. He further stated that they
had worked with the Permanent Building Committee,that the building was completely
electric, and was prepped for solar or a crematorium at a future date.
8:34 p.m. Anthony Galaitsis, Pct. 5, raised a Point of Order that every Town Meeting Member to
check their microphone in the Zoom platform to ensure that it was at an appropriate
-- volume. This was noted.
8.35 p.m. Bnan Heffernan, Pct. 1, questioned the number and value of bids.
Mr Cronin stated that 5 bids had been received, one over$400,000 the estimated
expected expenditure, 3 had been within about$50,000 at about$700,000 over budget
and one was $1 million over budget. He noted that they had removed the high and
low bid and then estimated the budget based on the three in the middle. Mr. Cronin
also stated that they would have to go out for rebids as prior bids expired 30 days after
submission.
8 40 p.m. Town Meeting Members continued discussion regarding location of the new site and
other project details including adding a cremation addition.
8.47 p.m. Umesh Shelat, Pct. 7, asked whether, in the situation that Article 8 passed, in relation
to the measures of diversity, equity and inclusion- if members of other religions in
Lexington that require cremation were not able to have this performed did they run the
risk of violating that Article.
8:48 p.m. Counsel Makanous stated that Article 8 was a Resolution to consider diversity, equity,
and inclusion on every Article,but as Mr Cronin had mentioned that while there had
been consideration of adding the crematorium to the project,the final decisions had to
do with the financial costs and the feasibility and not based on those factors.
Mr Shelat stated that while those decisions had been made,Article 8 was approved
afterwards and asked, as they had occurred at different times, whether the DEI
principals were being violated.
Counsel Makarious stated that that while it was a good question,Article 8 would
suggest that considering DEI on future decisions, this was more of a process oriented
Article to make sure those were considered. Those questions were raised regarding
the process of the budget for renovations, but he didn't believe any one Article could
guarantee DEI on all matters at all times.
The Moderator asked Counsel to clarify that it would be considered as opposed to be
accepted per se. Counsel Makarious stated that this what Article 8 demands but that
the current Article before Town Meeting was just for particular funding, and that it
didn't call for additional renovations, so Article 8 was not dictating a particular
outcome.
8:51 p.m. Paul Lapointe, Pct. 2, attempted to ask a question, but was unable to unmute.
8:53 p.m. David Kanter, Pct. 7, called the question.

8.55 p.m. John Bartenstein raised a Point of Order stated that there had been a problem with the
unmute button and that Mr. Lapointe was not able to speak before the vote was
complete due to technical difficulty, and hoped that he would be able to do so The
Moderator conferred with Mr. Kanter and asked if he would permit him to do so. Mr
Kanter agreed.
8.56 p.m. Paul Lapointe, Pct. 2, stated that he had two reasons to vote against the Motion—the
pnce tag and the funding source. He further noted that he felt that the Town should
not be in the "cemetery business"—or that it should be an enterpnse fund.
178 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
James Malloy, Town Manager,pointed out that Mass General Law 114 sec. 10

ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for the CM district, or act in any other manner in
relation thereto
(Inserted by Cynthia Arens and 99 or more other registered voters)
DESCRIPTION The proposed changes under this article would create an additional zoning incentive
for new construction in the CM district to use non-fossil-fuel-combustion-based HVAC systems.
Buildings that don't use on-site fossil-fuel-combustion-heating or have a first stage of heating that
delivers a minimum capacity of heat without on-site combustion are allowed to exceed sixty-five (65)
feet in height.
MOTION: Ms. Arens moves to amend Section 7 4 4 of the Zoning Bylaw, Section 135 of the Code
of the Town of Lexington, to insert a new Section 135-7 4.4.2 after Section 135-7 4 4.1, as follows,
and further that non-substantive changes to the numbering of the Zoning Bylaw be permitted in order
that it be in compliance with the numbering format of the Code of the Town of Lexington:
7.4 4.2. Buildings over sixty-five (65) feet shall utilize a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(HVAC) system with a first stage of heating that uses a combination of air-source, ground-
source or exhaust-source heat pumps or other heating system with a Coefficient of
Performance (COP) greater than 1 0 that does not use on-site fossil fuel combustion and
which has a minimum heating capacity of five (5) British thermal units (Btu)per hour per
gross square foot or equal to the building's design heating load, whichever is lower
179
November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
a. Any additional stage of heating capacity above five (5) British thermal units (Btu)per hour
per gross square foot may utilize on-site combustion,provided the HVAC and building
management systems are designed and programmed such that normal operation initially relies
on the non-combustion system to serve all building heating loads as the first stage before
using any on-site combustion heating systems to supplement in a subsequent stage.
b. This subsection 7 4 4.2 shall not apply to systems not related to building heating, such as
emergency backup power generators,humidification, and process equipment.

be located at 173 Bedford Street in Lexington,and all other costs incidental or related
thereto, and that to meet this appropriation$615,000 be raised in the tax levy.
Ms. McKenna then gave a Presentation regarding the Amendment, removing part"B" of the original
Motion.
8.08 p.m. James Malloy, Town Manager, stated that he wished to clanfy remarks accredited to
him within the Presentation in regards to moving 911 service and mentioned that Ms.
McKenna had not accurately presented them. He then clarified that he had stated that
there was a 6 month lead time through the State Police in order to move 911 and
during that time they could cancel at any time up to the 6 months. Once the debt
exclusion date was known,they would pick a date 6 months prior in order to give
notice and they could cancel up to the day of the debt exclusion vote. He further noted
that staff making the recommendation were very cognizant of Town Meeting's role,
and were respectful of the fact that it would have an impact on tax payers. One of the
concerns raised was additional costs of a delay when putting the project out for bid.
Mr Malloy stated that Mr Cronin had contacted the cost estimator for the project and
he was estimating a 4% construction inflation—or about$106,000 a month,meaning a
6 month delay equated to $636,000 cost increase in the police station project, with an
additional cost to renovate the temporary facility
8 10 p.m. Doug Lucente, Select Board Member, stated that the Select Board had voted 4 in
opposition of the Amended Motion,with 1 awaiting debate.
Charles Lamb, Chair of the Capital Expenditures Committee, stated that the
Committee was unanimous in their disapproval of the Amendment.
Mr. Michelson, Appropriations Committee, stated that the Committee voted 7/0 for
disapproval of the Amendment.
The Moderator opened the floor for debate and discussion of the Amendment.
8.12 p.m. Andrei Radulescu-Banu, Pct. 8, questioned that if Part B of the original Motion was
approved, whether project work would start before voter's approved the debt
exclusion and whether any funds would be spent.
8:13 p.m. Mr Cronin stated that they hoped to put the bid out in the beginning of the next year
and expend funds and start construction before the Annual Town Meeting.
David Kanter, Pct. 7, asked for clarification on whether they were discussing both
parts of Article 5.
The Moderator clarified that they were only commenting on the Amendment.
Mr Kanter asked that the word"ovemde"be corrected as that was a different process.
The Moderator stated that as it was a debt-exclusion override,the term would be used
for both operating overrides and for debt-exclusion overrides.
The Town Meeting Members continued to discuss the Article and Amendment.
8:20 p.m. Thomas Shiple, Pct. 9, stated that it sounded as if they had already been planning to
split the vote on sections A&B so wondered if there was any additional reason for the
Amendment.
8:21 p.m. The Moderator noted that the parliamentary effect would be the same if part"B"were
voted no.
184 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
Mr. Shiple asked whether the 173 Bedford renovations were brought up at the same
Town Meeting as approval for new Fire Station and if the purchase of 173 Bedford
happened at a prior Town Meeting.
Ms. Hai stated that in the Fall Town Meeting in October, the funds were voted for the
swing space subject to the subsequent debt exclusion vote in December and then in the
Spring Town Meeting, construction was voted.
Mr. Shiple stated that he just wanted to point out that this seemed to be a similar
situation.
8.24 p.m. Alessandro Alessandrim, Pct. 4, asked whether the Police Department would move
mto the swing space after renovation in the summer. Mr. Cromn stated that this is
what was expected.
Mr Alessandrini followed up with the question of whether it would be a fully
functioning station. Mr Cronin stated that it was the expectation.
Mr Alessandrini asked what the cost estimate would be for the building. Mr Cromn
stated that they had a cost estimate prior to last summer, but given the current
construction climate,they had a recent architectural estimate of higher than$30
million for the project. Mr Alessandnm asked whether there was concern of voters
voting for additional funds after funding the swing space.
8:26 p.m. Mr Lucente stated this was a political question and the voters would have to decide
and they wouldn't know until afterwards and further noted that the swing space was
not meant to be a modern police facility but a means to get from point A to point B
Mr Alessandrini asked if the debt-exclusion failed would the police move back to
their old building or stay in the renovated space.
Mr Lucente noted that they wouldn't move into 173 Bedford Street until after the
debt-exclusion vote.
8:28 p.m. Rodney Cole, Pct. 9, noted that he didn't feel that residents would want the Police
Department to be permanently in the swing space and stated that the delays of waiting
would most likely increase costs.
8:29 p.m. Jessie Steigerwald, Pct. 8, asked for the Capital Expenditures Committee and Town
Manager to weigh in on Mr. Cole's comments and whether the swing space was being
developed with enough function that if the staff had to stay longer, it would meet
program needs.
Mr. Lamb noted that Mr. Cole was on the Capital Expenditures Committee, and the
swing space would not be moved into until the debt exclusion was passed, so the time
would not be indefinite He further noted that nothing in the design of the main police
station project that would change the design or construction of the swing space and
that waiting would just increase costs
8.31 p.m. Mr. Malloy stated that before any project like this was done,they did a space needs
analysis, which became the basis for the design of the new police station - and the
current police station did not meet those programming needs. He further stated that if
the debt-exclusion had to go out for a second time,the police would stay in their
current location until a debt exclusion passed, and even if renovations were done,they -
wouldn't move until that. He noted that the renovations were $615,000 and they had
appropriated $1,862,000 for architectural fees and with the $255,000 additional, it --
brought it to $2,117,000 that they were appropriating, not knowing whether the debt
exclusion would pass and this was important to keep in mind.
Ms. Steigerwald asked that a repetition of the definite need could be stated.
Mr. Malloy stated that the Space Needs Analysis Committee found that the building
that was currently occupied as a police station was about half the size that was actually
needed, and that it had been built approximately 90 years ago when the Department
was much smaller and most functions of a modern police were not able to fit under
185
November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
that Department, including evidence storage,but the new building would meet these
needs, as well as needs of the community
Mr. Lamb noted that if nothing else the locker room situation doesn't facilitate the
current police force.
8:35 p.m. The Moderator closed debate and offered Ms. McKenna time to give a summation.
Ms. McKenna stated that this is a political question and if it was voted"no"then the
—� message was being sent that the police station was not supported, but by striking it, it
would be happy to go forward with design,but no comment on the swing space and
leaving it up to the ability of the overall Town to debate.
8.37 p.m. The Moderator opened the vote for the Amendment.

but noted that when the vote came up,they would vote each section separately
Members discussed and debated the Article.
8.43 p.m. Brian Heffernan, Pct. 1, asked what the costs for the holding cells for the swing space
would be, and how many were currently in the police station.
'— Interim Chief MacLean stated that there were currently 5 holding cells and in 173
Bedford they were proposing to do a fortified booking area, and for any stays over
four hours, they were hoping to have an MOU with the Middlesex County Shemff's
Office or a neighbonng department such as Bedford Police, which was common when
police departments did renovations.
Mr. Heffernan noted that on the design chart for the swing space it stated"booking
with secure interview room"and wondered if that meant"holding cells"
Interim Chief MacLean confirmed this and noted that there would also be an Officer
to witness during the entire time.
Mr. Heffernan followed up with a question of whether the costs of making the space
secure were being taken into account, and what that amount was estimated to be.
Mr. Cronin stated that he would need to research this question to get the required
information.
8:52 p.m. Robert Balaban, Pct. 5, called the question.

further noted that the new main motion should be placed on the website later in the

Mr Pato noted that he lived within 500' of the proposed new historic district, and as
there was a proposed construction project that was associated with it, he would recuse
himself from all activity

7 34 p.m. The Moderator noted that there would be a Memorial for Barry Sampson, Town
Meeting Member, who had passed away on May 25, 2021
Barry was a U.S. Air Force Veteran, a retired UPS driver, and was recently recognized
for 50 years of service as an elected Lexington Town Meeting Member He enjoyed
gardening, camping in the White Mountains of NH, listening to his scanner, cheering
for his grandchildren at various events, and spending time with friends and family As
a train enthusiast, Barry rode hundreds of miles of rails, helped lay narrow gauge track
in Bedford, MA; and before his passing, was recently working on a new n-scale model
train layout. At the time of his passing, he had been a Town Meeting Member for fifty
years. The Moderator noted that when she had exclaimed how remarkable this was to
his daughter, Jennifer, she responded with the statement that"this Town was his
world, his everything"
The Moderator noted that he had married his Lexington High School sweetheart, Carol
McCarthy(Sampson), and they had been married for 54 years, and that Carol was also
a Town Meeting Member. Early on,Barry had worked at the movie theater near
Michelson Shoes, and that had led to a life-long friendship with Dick Michelson, and
that Enc Michelson said that the Sampson home was the Christmas Eve stop for their
Jewish family.
Jennifer said that every Saturday they would accompany their dad to Lexington Center
for errands, while her dad would catch up with Mr Michleson and whoever else might
be around. He would also take many walks around Mass. Ave., checking up on"his"
town. Jennifer had noted that Barry had always checked his police scanner(which had
193
November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
earned him the nickname "Sparky"because he followed every fire department call).
In one case, chronicled in the Lexington Minuteman, Barry was the first to alert a
homeowner that his home was on fire
The Moderator noted that when his health did not permit walks around Town,he had
asked his family to take him for rides, instead, and they slowly worked their way
through each neighborhood in Lexington.
The Moderator said that she had asked Jennifer to settle a mystery for her In all the
years that she had known Barry and Carol in Town Meeting,they had never provided
an email address. At times, she had called or hand delivered items to their home due
to the lack of email,but they were both able to participate when Town Meeting was
switched to a virtual format. So,how was that possible?
Jennifer laughed and said"no computer, no email", but noted that Barry and Carol
both had an iPad, and they were able to participate after she walked them through it.
Mystery solved!
The Moderator offered deepest condolences to Carol and the extended family
7:38 p.m. A Moment of Silence was observed for Mr Sampson.
7.39 p.m. The Moderator noted that an attendance quorum had been reached.

Mr. Sandeen stated that the purpose of this article is to amend Chapter 80 of the Code of the Town of
Lexington,Noise Control, to protect residents from noise pollution by regulating the hours in which
landscape maintenance equipment may be used, establish seasonal limits on the use of gas-powered
leaf blowers.
This article is intended to provide relief to the many residents who expressed their concerns about
disruptive noise and pollution from gas-powered leaf blowers.
This article was originally brought to the 2021 Annual Town Meeting,but the Select Board requested
that the Noise Advisory Committee conduct further outreach to the commercial landscaper
community. On November 17, 2021,the Noise Advisory Committee proposed a simple amendment
to Article 10, in order clarify the application of the proposed bylaw to the Town Department of
Public Works. The reason for the updated motion was to remove a portion in order to give better
clarification.
7:47 p.m. Daniel Koretz, Chair of the Noise Advisory Committee then presented information
about the proposed Article.
7:55 p.m. Mr Sandeen said that the Select Board had 3 members who support the article and 2
that are not in support of the Article.
Archana Dayalu, Sustainable Lexington Member, stated that the Committee had
strong support of the original Article 10, but that that they had not voted on the
updated motion,they could not speak to the updated version.
7.59 p.m. Before opening up the floor for discussion and debate,the Moderator noted that prior
to the meeting they had received approximately 60 public comments submitted on the
196 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
website to address the Article,requesting that they be read. Of those comments,there
were 14 comments in opposition, and 46 in support of the Article, but most had been
submitted before the change to the Main Motion. The Moderator noted that she had
decided that while some of the comments might not be germane to the current Motion,
they could provide a useful context, and they would be read by staff intermittently
during the discussion, allowing for a representative sample both for and against the
Article. She further noted that staff would not have to input all names in line, but that
staff would read one comment each time she called on the public line,with the name
being announced at that time.
8:00 p.m. The Moderator then opened the floor for discussion and debate.
Edward Dolan, Pct. 3, asked why the banning of gas powered mowers was removed
from the Motion,with further details. He further asked regarding why it was
"impractical to enforce the Code", despite noise levels over the Code limits and
whether it was possible for the Town to implement enforcement of the Code in a
practical way, either now, or in the future.
Mr. Koretz stated that there was a great deal of confusion regarding whether the
Article would ban all equipment, including using personal lawn mowers. He said that
the it seemed that people may have had a hard time interpreting the noise levels that
were in the original Motion. The Noise Committee had responded by removing these
limits on November 4th,but this didn't seem to end the confusion. In addition,there
was a need to make an amendment as there was a simple misunderstanding between
himself and Mr. Pinsoneault. Mr. Koretz noted that he had been advised by two
members of the Select Board that the level of confusion would put the entire Motion
would be in jeopardy, and given the suggestion to take out the phase out, in order to
possibly bring it back at a future date. Although the Noise Committee did not have
time to meet, they had given him discretion to address it, so he followed the advice to
remove the phase out for the time being.
James Malloy, Town Manager, noted that the reason enforcement had been considered
impractical in the past is that it would have required Town staff to have specific
equipment and training that they currently did not have, and that when call comes in,
and staff finally arrives,the situation may already be over, making it impractical to
enforce.
8 06 p.m. The Meeting Members continued to discuss possible enforcement measures and what
would be required to do so
8:10 p.m. Robert Rotberg, Pct. 3, felt persuaded by the Presentation and Sustainable Lexington
that the original Motion should be reinstated. Mr. Rotberg moved that the Motion be
Amended by Substitution to the original Motion.
ARTICLE 10: REDUCING NOISE FROM LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE EQUIPMENT
MOTION:
That Chapter 80 of the Code of the Town of Lexington, Noise Control, be amended as follows, and
further that non-substantive changes to the numbering of this bylaw be permitted in order that it be in

8.13 p.m. Mark Sandeen, Select Board Member, noted that the Select Board had not considered
this possibility, so they would need some time to do so.
Jill Hai, Select Board Chair, stated that they could meet very quickly to do so.

8 17 p.m. The Meeting Members began to discuss the proposed amended Motion.
8.23 p.m. Jessie Steigerwald, Pct. 8, asked whether a friendly amendment to the text could help.
The Moderator asked Mr. Koretz to give the exact text of the proposed friendly
amendment. While Mr Koretz forwarded the information,the Moderator allowed
comments from the public microphones.
8.26 p.m. The Moderator asked if the text was now available from Mr. Koretz. He emailed the
text to staff for inclusion on screen.
8:27 p.m. Anthony Galaitsis, Pct. 5, raised a Point of Order that he had noted in the TMMA
email list, that he had not planned to issue an amendment, but with Mr Rotberg
submitting one,the issue of equity was being raised. He asked whether, if the
amendment passed, would be he be permitted to move consideration of the

time to do confer.

Mr. Heinrich stated that his Point of Order was that he was confused about the
multiple amendments while one was being discussed.
The Moderator stated that while this wasn't seen very often, it was allowed via
parliamentary rules to amend an amendment on the floor
Mr Heinrich asked whether it was a friendly amendment and would happen if it was
unacceptable to Mr. Rotberg.
The Moderator noted that it was not being offered as a friendly amendment, and they
would be hearing from the Select Board, and others. She further explained that the

Mr. Koretz,Noise Committee Member, stated that the view of the Committee was that
they didn't believe the amendment necessary, but they would rather have a phase out
with longer terms than no phase out.
Archana Dayalu stated that she could not speak to the amendment,but would restate
that Sustainable Lexington had supported the original Motion.
Mr. Rotberg stated that he felt that the extension of time was unnecessary, and that
2025 was enough time to make plans to shift over to electric blowers, and if not,they
had several years to make a further change.

Mr. Radulescu Banu asked that the motion with Mr. Kaufman's amendment by placed
on screen.
The Moderator asked staff to do so.
Mr Koretz noted that Anthony Galaitsis had proposed a friendly amendment to add
language in between the paragraphs specifically for the DPW, he noted that the most
recent Motion did have the language, but adding it here would require its acceptance.
The Moderator explained that there had been language offered up by Mr Galartis in a
pnor version, and if there was interest in doing that, to wait until Mr. Kaufman's
amendment was addressed, and then go back and decide whether further amendments
were desired.
9:14 p.m. Counsel Makarious stated that he would like to clarify that the applicability to the
Town would only matter for those provisions that specifically call out residents or
landscapers,which are the prohibitions in Mr Rotberg's substitute Motion. He noted
that the hour limitations were already addressed by other Noise bylaws not being
amended at the Meeting, but the portions that state that the equipment can not be used
during"x"hours would apply to the Town, equally.
The Moderator stated that Town Meeting would have to decide, if at some point, that
they wanted to amend this to clarify the applicability of the ban.
9 15 p.m. Meeting Members continued their discussion and debate.
9.20 p.m. Pam Hoffman, Pct. 7, asked two questions regarding process and substance. She
inquired whether the vote would be on Mr Kaufman's Amendment. And if passed,
then incorporated into Mr Rotberg's Amendment,which would then be voted, as
well. The Moderator stated that Mr. Kaufman was proposing an amendment to Mr.
Kaufman's Amendment, and if passed,then Mr Rotberg's Amendment would have
the new dates incorporated, and they would return to the 13 minutes left in that debate.
Ms. Hoffman further asked whether the original Motion, as onginally proposed m the
evening, had proposed a 9AM start time, and asked if this was correct. The Moderator
confirmed that.
Ms. Hoffman asked whether Mr. Rotberg's amendment had the start time at 7AM
every day The Moderator stated that Mr. Rotberg's amendment didn't make any
changes to that portion.
The Moderator stated that the in the Motion,presented by the Select Board, the
language stated Monday through Friday, 7AM, Saturdays at 9AM and stated that Mr
Rotberg's amendment wouldn't change any of that,just adding back in the eventual
ban on gas powered leaf blowers.
_. Ms. Hoffman noted that she hadn't seen any details regarding time.
The Moderator stated that she also noted one other change (section 2.3)between the
Select Board's Motion and the one proposed by Mr Rotberg.
Mr Koretz stated that he would like propose a procedural suggestion, if Mr. Rotberg's
amendment was to add back provisions for the eventual phase out, they add it to the
most recent version provided by the Select Board as there were other minor changes
that should not be lost.
202 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
9.25 p.m. The Moderator said that she would declare an"open recess" so that they could have a
discussion regarding the changes. She stated that Ms. Hoffman could remain in line,
should she have further questions.
The Moderator addressed the Select Board and noted that everything tracked until they
got to Section 2.3. Counsel Makarious stated that he believed that was correct,but
wanted to review what Mr Rotberg had proposed.
The Moderator asked Mr Rotberg if he had been following the conversation.
Mark Sandeen requested that the text be put on screen. The Moderator noted that she
was reviewing two different documents, and wasn't sure if they would be able to show
both. She said that she was looking at the original Motion, and section 2,part 3
(outdoor use of landscape maintenance by the Town or Town contractors. )
Mr Rotberg stated that she believed Ms. Hoffman was correct and that with the
Moderator's help,the new part should be merged with the old. The Moderator agreed.
She stated that they would make his Amendment(addition of the ban) and that
Counsel would assist with numbering, and the addition of the friendly amendment by
Ms. Stiegerwald. Mr. Rotberg agreed and pointed out that Part 4 had hours for the
Town. The Moderator said that it was Part 3
9:28 p.m. Kelly Axtell, Assistant Town Manager, noted that the Motion could be placed on
screen.
9.29 p.m. The Moderator stated that they were looking at what the Select Board had offered as
their new Main Motion, with the Mr. Rotberg's ban added back in(now sections 6 and
7) and also the friendly amendment was the use of wheeled leaf blowers. She further
noted that in 6 and 7 the years be changed to 2027
Ms. Hoffman stated that she was concerned with the times that stated 7-7 seemed to
conflict with a 9AM time on Saturdays.
Counsel Makarious asked for a few moments to review the times. He stated that as it
was presented,that Ms. Hoffman was correct in relation to how it affected the Town,
and that his understanding from the Select Board that the intention was to have the
prior language applied.
He further stated that 5b only applied to the Town or Town contractors,but that this
seemed inconsistent with#3,which also spoke to those. He asked for the Select Board "'
to give clarification regarding the hours.
Ms. Hai said that there were not trying to make them match as they were not including
the subsequent sections, so it did not include 6 and 7 and they were also guided by
input from the DPW Director, Mr Pinsoneault, and that perhaps,they should follow-
up with him.
Mr Pinsoneault noted that the crews were typically 7:00-3.30 or 7.00-5.00 and that is
why they were looking at 7.00, even on a Saturday.
The Moderator noted to the Select Board that if they had been working to honor that,
then what was shown in 3,part ii, was inconsistent with the portion of the Motion in
5b
Ms. Hai stated that she had no response to this.
Counsel Makarious stated that there was a distinction between the two and there was a
way to read them together Number 3 is all landscape equipment, while number 5
applied only to gas powered leaf blowers, but with that said,might have been an error
due to the number of changes.
Mark Sandeen, Select Board Member, asked if Mr. Pinsoneault could confirm that Mr.
Makarious had come to the correct conclusions. Mr Makarious also stated that if Mr
Pmsoneault was agreeable,to strike the hours in 5b, if possible, so the dates would
still be there, but the hours would be what was reflected in 3.
Mr Pinsoneault stated that the 9AM would be a problem because crews started at
7AM, especially when events were scheduled.
9:38 p.m. Ms. Hai requested that the Select Board would need to meet. The Moderator called a
recess to allow the Select Board to discuss the situation.
Jerold Michaelson, Pct. 5,raised a Point of Order that while he appreciated what was
trying to be accomplished he noted that Mr Rotberg had brought back the original
Motion, and he questioned why it was being changed to something that wasn't
originally his intent. He further noted that the Select Board had done due diligence in
bringing up a different Motion.
203
November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
The Moderator noted that the issue they were trying to resolve was in the Select Board
motion—and that was the problem.
Mr. Michaelson asked whether Mr. Rotberg's motion would be changed.
The Moderator noted that Mr. Rotberg's version has some other changes that weren't
a problem.
Mr Michaelson stated that perhaps this described why it shouldn't move forward, and
did not feel that it shouldn't be done on the fly
9 40 p.m. Scott Burson, Pct. 9, raise a Point of Order, asked whether a motion to table the
Warrant Article would be in order.
The Moderator noted that she would sort out, with Counsel,what the appropriate
motion would be.
Mr. Burson stated that what they were doing was potentially dangerous, and while he
trusted the good intentions of everyone involved, as they were dealing with text
The Moderator noted the point and stated that she would have to work out what a
possible motion would be and asked for a moment to do so.
9.42 p.m. Alessandro Allesandrim, Pct. 4, raised a Point of Order and stated that he was going to
state what Mr Burson had already said and thought that all the interested parties
should come together, get their ideas together, and come back in the Spring.
Katherine Reynolds, Pct. 1, raised a Point of Order to ask about the time restrictions in
the 5b section and felt that it was a flag and that while she deferred to the Moderator in
process, the changes sounded substantive and did not fall into the scope of doing a
composite motion.
The Moderator asked Ms. Reynolds to clarify her comments.
Ms. Reynolds stated that she was hearing language from Counsel and other parties
what was an intent ahead of time and changing language to match a different section,
and she did not feel it was appropriate to make modifications to 5b if that was stated
and brought forward in its original form.
9:44 p.m. The Moderator stated that whatever they chose to do,there seemed to be an
inconsistency in what the Select Board brought forward and noted that they hadn't
decided what order they might make a change, if they made one, but they needed to
understand how to resolve it.
Ms. Reynolds stated that this was her Point of Order—whether it was appropriate to
resolve these inconsistencies and wondered if it could be considered a resolution that
could not be resolved in this format.
The Moderator thanked Ms. Reynolds for her comments.
9 45 p.m. Leonard Morse-Fortier, Pct. 7, asked if while they were waiting, they could call on
Mr Galaitsis to speak about sound and acoustics. The Moderator stated that they
would not be doing that at this time.
Marilyn Fenollosa raised a Point of Order,to ask whether the references to paragraphs
5 and 6 and renumbered 8 were still the right references.
The Moderator stated that 6 and 7 would be added to what the Select Board had
offered, and"8"was the addition from Ms. Stiegerwald. She noted that the text should
read 6 and 7 and asked that the numbers be updated on screen.
9:48 p.m. Dawn McKenna, Pct. 6,raised a Point of Order to state that her understanding was
that the Select Board was working to resolve the issue, but in a normal meeting,
anyone could attend the meeting to hear the discussion and deliberation, and wondered
if there was a way to listen to the meeting.
204 November 8, 2021 Special Town Meeting#1 (2021-1), cont.
9 49 p.m. Counsel Makarious noted that conversations during Town Meeting were not subject to
the Open Meeting Law He further noted that he had been in the conversation and he
was ready to report back on what the Select Board would like to do.
The Moderator noted that before he announced the details, and before she ended
recess, she would like to speak to him via phone.
9:53 p.m. The Moderator called the Meeting back to order.
Mr Makarious stated that the Select Board noted that before they had recessed,the
distinctions between Sections 3 and 5b had simply to do with hours limitations and
therefore the Select Board had voted 5/0 in favor of deleting the hours, only, in 5b
(leaving the dates) which effectively meant that there were still restrictions on when
gas powered leaf blowers could be used. Then Section 3 would remain unchanged.
The combined effect of that would be that at any time of the year,the Town could use
landscape maintenance equipment of any kind, Monday—Friday 7AM to 8 PM and
Saturdays, 9AM to 5PM, with the understanding that although DPW shifts start at
7AM,the Select Board held the view that the Town and Town contractors should be
on equal footing, if it passed, with commercial and residential landscapers, who would
also be limited to these hours. The portion in Section 5 would then limit the particular
use of gas-powered leaf blowers, further, to specific times of the year. He noted that
this should any discrepancies between 3 and 5b and the Select Board would ask to
correct the issue, simply by removing the hours.
The Moderator stated that she was open to either changing it now, or finishing the
other Motions on the floor,but preferred to continue with Mr Kaufman's amendment.
9 55 p.m. The Moderator reminded the Meeting Members that Mr Kaufman's amendment in 6
and 7 would change the year to 2027 in both instances. She also asked the Select
Board to confirm that Ms. Stiegerwald's friendly amendment was to exclude leaf
blowers powered by four-stroke engines from the bans in 6 and 7.
Mr Sandeen confirmed this. Therefore,the final Motion to be voted would be:
That Chapter 80 of the Code of the Town of Lexington, Noise Control, be amended as follows, and
further that non-substantive changes to the numbering of this bylaw be permitted in order that it be in
compliance with the numbering format of the Code of the Town of Lexington:

deal with the Rotberg amendment and then move forward.
Dawn McKenna, Pct. 6, asked whether she offered a motion to indefinitely postpone
(IP) would that affect only the amendment.
The Moderator stated it would just affect the amendment and recommended moving
forward with it.
Robert Avallone, Pct. 8, asked why the Select Board had removed the ban.
Mr. Sandeen noted that had spent a considerable amount of time working on a
statement, and without another recess they wouldn't have more to say than what was

be limited to the following dates and

10.21 p.m. The Moderator asked whether any Town Meeting Members objected to the change.
Bridger McGaw, Pct. 6, noted that while he did not have an objection,the word
"landscaper" was incorrectly spelled in number 3, but upon review it had been fixed.
The Moderator stated that as there were no objections,this would be considered a
friendly amendment to the Motion.
10:22 p.m. John Bartenstein noted that a and b seemed to say the same thing and wondered if"b"
should be struck. The Moderator noted that"b"was specifically regarding the Town or
Town contractors. Counsel Makarious noted that this was correct. The Moderator asked
if"b" could be struck. Counsel Makarious noted that this would require some syntax
changes in 5 and 5 a, as below.
Effective May 31,2022,the following additional rules shall appy to the use of all gas powered

Jill Hai, Select Board Chair, stated that there had been some thought that the Town
was covering itself, so if they wished to make the change, the Select Board would
need to discuss it as it was an intentional call out.
10:25 p.m. Nyles Barnert, Pct. 1,raised the Point of Order to ask the status of an amendment by
Mr Galaitsis. The Moderator stated that it had not been offered.
Alessandro Alessandrini, Pct. 4, stated that it seemed to be getting messier and
wondered if it was possible to IP the Article until the Spring Town Meeting, allowing
everyone to put a final motion together that would be understood by everyone.
The Moderator stated that it could, but that as he was in the Point of Order line, and
amendments could not be brought forward from that line, she would call on Dawn
McKenna.
10:26 p.m. Dawn McKenna, Pct. 6, moved to make a substitute Motion to Indefinitely Postpone
the Article. She noted that the changes had been very confusing and there was some
conflicting information.
10.29 p.m. Jill Hai, Select Board Chair, stated that the Select Board needed a few moments to
confer, and asked for more time. The Moderator stated that she would move forward
with other recommendations.

Dan Koretz noted that he could only answer that the complexities had been ironed out.
Archana Dayalu, Sustainable Lexington Member, said that she didn't know to what
extent she could comment without knowing what Sustainable Lexington would want
her to say
Mark Manasas, Pct. 2, asked whether there were any gas powered blowers that they
were aware of that didn't exceed the noise statutes.
Mr. Koretz stated that without doing the math, he was unsure, although there were
some that were quieter at full throttle, and noted that it would depend on the ambient
noise level.
Mr. Manasas asked whether this bylaw would circumvent the noise level
requirements.
Counsel Makarious stated that generally applicable noise levels would still apply and
any federal or state regs about noise levels permitted would supersede what the Town
put in and these would be additional time and hour requirements.
Mr Manasas asked whether it was accurate to say that we were working to find an
easier way to enforce a noise statute that hadn't currently been enforceable.
Mr. Koretz stated that in part, it was.
10:34 p.m. Anthony Galaitsis, Pct. 5, asked if the motion failed which line should he stand on to
make an amendment at a later time.
The Moderator stated that any except the Point of Order line.

of the Article,with 2 abstaining

question.
10:44 p.m. Laura Atlee, Pct. 4, raised a Point of Order that in one portion the text stated effective
May of 2022, but in the following provisions it stated March.
Counsel Makarious stated that it applied to future years, but the first year(2022)
would allow an exception and although in effect, would exempt the first Spring.
10.46 p.m. Katherine Reynolds, Pct. 1,raised a Point of Order, stating that the edit had removed
the word"additional" and caused ambiguity, and should be added back in.
10 47 p.m. Counsel Makarious stated that the word"additional"was surplus and he didn't feel
that it was needed as the text was clear and it should be kept as it was.
Mark Sandeen, Select Board Member, stated that the Select Board agreed to the
change by a vote of 5/0 in favor and that there was a capital "T"that should be put as
lower case in the sentence.
10:48 p.m. Mr Rotberg raised a Point of Order as he thought the word"Town" should be part of
the clause being edited.
The Moderator explained that it was applicable to everyone.
Counsel Makarious pointed out that any numbering discrepancies could be taken care
of by the Clerk's Office.
