Update on the Schematic Design submission to the MSBA a. The Design team has completed the Schematic Design Binders, and has three copies available to the town of Lexington in the meeting. The OPM was asked to post an electronic copy on the project web site. A paper copy will be available at the Public Buildings office for anyone who wishes to review a paper copy. Review of Project Design and changes to the building and site location. a. DiNisco Design presented the updates via the attached Presentation: (over view of the presentation) In the process of evaluating the building and its placement on the site during the Schematic Design submission process, the design team has explored an option to straighten the building and move it away from the northern lot line to reduce the site costs associated with walls, ledge, and slope mitigation measures. This will impact the ideal north south orientation; however, it fits in a better way on the site with these changes and should result in significant site -work cost savings. This will also remove a 9 foot wall along the wetland area and reduce any Conservation Commission concerns. As this is a relatively new idea, it will take time to explore and prove out the benefits of this revision. Several variables are still in concept stage; however a sketch of the concept was shown. A concern raised by the School, as the concept was shared with them yesterday, was that the size of the playground may be compromised. As the Design Development process is beginning, these new details will be developed in further detail if the SBC/PBC members agree that these ideas are worth pursuing. The SBC/PBC members collectively agreed ( all in favor) that the ideas were worth pursuing as long as the concerns about the size of the playground were worked out. Other topics. a. The OPM informed the SBC that we were now beginning the Design Development phase. Hastings portion of the meeting ended at 8:30.
