pumping stations). The proposed canopy will be larger than the canopy of the Mobil Station and <br />because of sloping grade conditions will appear to be a massive structure. In addition, a food <br />store is proposed further increasing the intensity of use on the site. There is a strong feeling that <br />the increased intensity of use on this site will further burden an already congested intersection. <br />The Design Advisory Committee recommends the review of this proposal be continued until <br />further information is supplied and the size of the project is reconsidered. <br />Nextel Communications (1666 Massachusetts Ave- Rooftop) <br />Although some of the documentation presented suggests the proposed facility is not visible from <br />ground views, the Committee is not convinced this is the case. The roof plan and elevations <br />provided suggest the antenna facility will be visible from abutting properties. Therefore, we <br />request that a mock-up be performed (staking the corners of the proposed structure at the proper <br />location and height) to better understand the impact the project will have on the roofscape and <br />surrounding town views. The mock-up should be documented through photographs taken at each <br />corner of the building from a distance. <br />The Design Advisory Committee recommends the review of this proposal be continued until <br />further information is supplied. <br />Center Parking Plan (CVS Lot) <br />Carl Oldenburg presented a plan for the Center Parking Lot showing 90 degree parking with nine <br />additional spaces, new curbing/sidewalk, planting beds and bike path access points. The DAC <br />recommended reducing the number of bike path access points into the parking lot to two areas <br />and that they align with the main circulation routes. The proposed sidewalk area in the Dunkin <br />Donuts alley should be studied to allow for the functioning of the adjacent loading/garage area. <br />The DAC recommended this project be developed, think through the logistics of construction <br />(where do people park during construction…), obtain a cost estimate to further the realization of <br />this project. <br />Other Business: <br />Sidewalk design (concrete versus brick) for the Center was discussed and the DAC believes it is <br />necessary to establish design guidelines that are the result of discussions with the Sidewalk <br />Committee, Commission on Disability and the Department of Public Works. <br />Betsy Whitman suggested we contact David Tabeling about having the DAC’s picture taken for <br />the Town Report publication. Ideally this would happen at the next DAC meeting on 1/4/06. <br />Adjournment: <br />The meeting was adjourned at approximately 10:00PM. <br />Next Meeting: <br />Scheduled for Wed., January 4, 2006 @ 7:30PM. <br />Cc: Board of Selectmen <br /> Planning Board <br />
