<br /> <br />Community Preservation Committee Public Hearing <br />Thursday, January 14, 2010 <br />Cary Auditorium <br />6:30 pm <br /> <br /> <br />Present: <br />Betsey Weiss, Chair; Joel Adler, Norman Cohen, Marilyn Fenollosa, Vice <br />Chair; Jeanne Krieger, Wendy Manz, Leo McSweeney, Nathalie Rice, Admin. Asst; <br />Sandy Shaw, and Dick Wolk. Mr. David Kanter of the Capital Expenditures Committee <br />(CEC) was also in attendance. <br /> <br />Ms. Weiss called the Public Hearing to order at 6:34 pm. <br /> <br />The purpose of the Public Hearing was to hear presentations from twenty project <br />applicants who had submitted applications for CPA funding. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1.Munroe Tavern Restoration and Rehabilitation - <br />Ms. Susan Bennett, <br />Director of the Lexington Historical Society, introduced this request for <br />$400,000 for restoration and rehabilitation work on the Munroe Tavern at <br />1332 Massachusetts Avenue. She explained that the Historic Structures <br />Report for the Tavern was complete, and gave the Chair a copy of the report. <br />Ms. Bennett explained that there were five aspects of work involved in the <br />restoration of the Munroe Tavern, including; (1) the repair and restoration of <br />historic fabric (including restoration of the historic Colonial fireplace); (2) <br />the renovation of underutilized space to create a museum room and public <br />bathrooms; (3) handicapped accessibility to both the first and second floors <br />and site work to replace deteriorated stairs, landings and railings; (4) systems <br />replacement including installation of heat in the museum, climate control to <br />protect artifacts, complete re-wiring of the house and replacement of the 90- <br />year-old sprinkler system; and (5) curatorial storage improvements. The <br />request before the CPC is for $400,000, half of the proposed project cost. <br /> <br />Ms. Bennett explained that there will be an addition to the Tavern which will <br />be constructed in the location of a former shed. She explained that there <br />would be an archeological excavation before the foundation is dug, due to the <br />presence of an old buttery and well in the area. (She stressed that the addition <br />was not to be funded with CPA funds, since it was new construction.) It was <br />the intention of the Society, she noted to make the archeological dig as user- <br />friendly as possible, including ADA accessibility. In response to a question <br />from Mr. Kanter, Ms. Bennett explained that the new construction for the <br />addition would cost $278,000, while the renovations to the museum would <br />cost $541,374. Ms. Bennett said she anticipated construction would <br />commence in the fall of 2010, and that the building would reopen at its <br />customary time in 2011. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />
