Minutes, October 28, 1985 Page 3 Mrs. Smith asked how much slope they were proposing to take down. Their answer was, in places, up to 20 feet. Mr. Sorensen wanted to see more screening at the edges of the property. Mrs. Uhrig wanted to see more landscaping at the Middle- sex Mall development. Ms. Frank noted that the topography and vegetation on the new site will provide good screening from the Lowell Street residential area across the street, and they would agree to add more screening to the southeast edge of the property that adjoins residentially zoned property in Lexington. She added that they have checked with the Lexington police and fire chiefs and there would not be a problem gaining access to the proposed mall via Burlington streets. Mrs. Smith discusssed the political realities of going to Town Meeting for a rezoning. She felt that they probably have hit on the right use for the proper- ty. The items that will be of the most concern at Town Meeting will be the traffic reports, adequate parking and landscaping that provides good screening for the adjoining residential neighborhoods. Mrs. Uhrig felt the new proposal should be better tied to the existing mall. 238.
