The Committee also thought it was best to present the renovation only as a historic resource project. Open space was also indicated on the application because of public gardens that are planned for the property but the Committee did not think the gardens substantiated the categorization of the project as open space. 2) Ms. Fenollosa advised that she endorsed a grant agreement on behalf of the Community Preservation Committee for the previously authorized Pine Grove Village community housing project. The agreement stipulated the terms of the CPA grant to the Lexington Housing Authority. Mr. Pressman praised Liz Rust from the Regional Housing Services Office for the tremendous amount of work she performed on the project. 3) Ms. Fenollosa advised that the request from LexHAB for supplemental funds for the Busa property would not be finalized until January. The CPC voted the project as a placeholder on the warrant (9-0). Mr. Pressman noted that the Community Preservation Fund available balances could not support all FY19 project requests. It was noted that Ms. Kosnoff, Assistant Town Manager for Finance, would need to attend a meeting in order to advise on available balances and financing options. 4) The Committee also discussed the application submitted by Gerry Paul for a senior housing feasibility study. The Housing Partnership intends to meet and discuss sponsoring the project. The next step would be approval from the Board of Selectmen. 5) After a motion duly made and seconded, the CPC voted (9-0) to approve minutes, as amended, from the following meetings- October 5, 2017, October 12, 2017 and November 16, 2017.
