o Three DPF members are participating in this discussion, Jon Himmel, Howard Hobbs and <br />Chuck Favazzo. <br />• A question was asked about the disposal of the PCB soil and Hill stated it is already gone. <br />2. Fire Station Proiect - John McElravy (Tecton Architects) & John Wilson (Lexington Fire Chief) <br />Jeff McElravy of Tecton Architects was introduced to PBC. Jeff will be working on the Lexington Fire <br />Station Project; as well as, reviewing the Police Station. <br />• Tecton met with both Fire and Police to get feedback for both programs. <br />• Police program is currently approx. 30,000 sf and Fire is approx. 22,000 sf. <br />• Collecting ideas for the design over the next couple of weeks. <br />• HDC has assigned Bob Adams as liaison. <br />• Had conference call with the Historic Commission liaison and discussed site characteristics. <br />• Tecton presented early stage drawings of various options for the Police and Fire designs. <br />• PBC asked if it is realistic to use any part of the existing Police Station. <br />• Tecton has initial thoughts to not re -use much of the existing, but certainly is looking at all <br />possible design options, cost impact of using the existing building, and any concerns with the <br />Historic Commission. <br />Fire Project <br />• Liberty Mutual Building could handle the Fire Station, but not the apparatus. <br />• Leasing and installing temporary apparatus bays is the path. <br />• A lot of residential exists in the back of the building, and needs to be taken into consideration. <br />• Tecton stated they are looking at having floor plans in early January, showing some initial <br />ideas. <br />• PBC asked if comps from other communities have been done. How is the square footage <br />being validated? Tecton stated getting comps was not described in his scope of work, but <br />could do this. <br />• DPF questioned how the Donham & Sweeney Architects study compared with the new <br />programs. The Police Station is slightly larger than the D & S report and the fire is similar or <br />slightly smaller, at this time. <br />• It was asked if the traffic study will be done by next meeting — No. It will be a couple of <br />weeks of counts, number crunching, and then early February for proposed traffic solutions. <br />• Next meeting dates were discussed. <br />• Fire Project goes to Town Meeting this year, not Police. <br />PBC Meeting 12.22.16 3 <br />
