<br /> <br />Economic Development Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes of September 29, 2022 <br /> <br />The Economic Development Advisory Committee [EDAC] met by remote participation on <br />Thursday, September 29th, at 8:00 a.m. at Estabrook Hall with Video Conference <br />capabilities. This meeting was held remotely pursuant to Governor Baker’s March 12, 2020 <br />order suspending certain provisions of G.L. c. 30A, section 18 and subsequent orders imposing <br />strict limitations on the number of people who may gather in one place. <br />EDAC Members present: Rick DeAngelis (Chair), Bridger McGaw (Vice Chair), Charles Minasian, Lisa <br />Murray, Adrienne Ortyl <br />Liaisons and Town Staff: Sandhya Iyer (Economic Development Director), Joe Pato (Select Board), <br />Doug Lucente (Select Board Liaison), Sheila Page (Planning Department) Carol Kowalski (Asst. Town <br />Manager). <br />The EDAC heard a presentation from the 12-18 Hartwell Avenue development proponents, <br />Greatland. <br />Presenters focused on the 12 Hartwell site while the other parts of the site are a longer term <br />development. As this is one of the first projects on the street, Greatland stressed they want to <br />help set the pace/tone/design of the corridor. This is a 300,000 sqft building with garage behind it <br />with a covered walkway at grade connecting them. They are planning for LAB in this building <br />with retail at grade on the first floor lobby area – pending a market that can support it. <br />Mr. McGaw noted the parallel parking in front while necessary for the retail success would also <br />need the Town to have a larger POV on parking on the street. Sheila Page and Ross Morrow <br />acknowledged that parallel parking and/or parking for retail activation is critical to longer term <br />corridor design, and this property specifically, success. The Chair acknowledged the 14 spots or <br />more would be needed. <br />The Chair acknowledged that kickstarting Hartwell redevelopment has been a long time in <br />coming and finding an expeditious way to support the project is important to the Town. The <br />Greatland team presented the visuals of the proposed building and laid out plan for 98% electric <br />building. Their goal is targeting LEED Silver, but could achieve Gold. 1050 Waltham Street <br />followed the same project approach. We discussed use of the garage for alternative uses on the <br />top floor to support the retail spaces with other amenities in addition to solar capacity.
