Commission on Disability, Minutes June 5, 2014 <br />In Attendance: Victoria Buckley, Chair, Fred Lonardo, Building Commissioner, Francine Stieglitz, <br />Len Morse - Fortier, Harry MacKay, Nate Finch, and Sue Cusack <br />Introduction of new Building Commissioner Fred Lonardo <br />• WELCOME!!! We are excited to have you join us! <br />Discussion about variance requested by Hayden Recreational Center — second floor men's room <br />• We suspect the request for variance has already been forwarded to the AAB. <br />• We would like to send a letter and suggest reducing the number of stalls from 3 to 2 and a <br />single urinal. <br />• A motion was approved by all members present to send a letter to Hayden with an <br />alternative strategy to addressing access in this restroom. <br />Discussion about Bridge PTA's Legacy Brick Fundraiser <br />• Sue will follow up with Pat Goddard to get his input <br />• Len will follow -up with Bridge School representatives and discuss the potential alternative <br />design strategies for commemorative bricks. <br />Review of draft of letter for Selectmen <br />• We reviewed and edited a letter that will be forwarded to the Selectmen encouraging <br />greater integration of access and inclusion in strategic planning and goal setting. We also <br />requested that they assist us in eliminating the use of brick as the primary material for all <br />town - controlled sidewalks. <br />Letter to Department of Public Safety for Berman's Liquor <br />• The owner has requested a letter of support to the Department of Public Safety <br />acknowledging that the handicapped parking issue has been addressed and corrected. <br />394 Lowell Street — Variance Discussion <br />• This is a complex of 19 office condos that is requesting support for a AAB variance for <br />restrooms in a second floor condo. <br />• Based on the documents that we received, and some concerns raised, Victoria will send <br />them a request to meet with us at our next meeting in July. <br />DCU Bank <br />• In their efforts to accommodate access from the rear of the building, they have run into a <br />logistics challenge with a lift and the existing stair structure. This issue may be more a fire <br />code issue than and accessibility concern. Fred will keep us informed of this project. <br />Selectmen Assignment <br />
