<br />Town of Lexington <br />Commission on Disability <br />Victoria Buckley, Chair <br />June 7, 2014 <br />Thomas Hopkins, Director <br />Commonwealth of Massachusetts <br />Department of Public Safety <br />Architectural Access Board <br />One Ashburton Place, Room 1310 <br />Boston, MA 02198-1618 <br /> RE: Josiah Willard Hayden Recreation Centre <br />Dear Mr. Hopkins, <br /> At the monthly meeting held on June 5, 2014, the Commission on Disability <br />reviewed the AAB application for variance for the second floor men’s room of the <br />Josiah Willard Hayden Recreation Centre, 24 Lincoln Street, Lexington. The <br />not <br />Commission is in favor of this variance. <br /> We disagree that a variance is warranted since the architectural plans seem <br />to indicate that there is enough room for one urinal and one fully accessible stall, if <br />the plans were to be changed from two stalls to one. We are in full support of how <br />far the Hayden Recreation Centre has come in its past attempts to become more <br />accessible, especially the revocations in 2011 that installed elevators and made <br />sure there were passageways and ramps to make levels accessible. We encourage <br />Hayden to see if reducing the number of stalls in the men’s room is viable. <br /> Please feel free to contact the chairperson at 617-997-5472 if there are any <br />questions or if this should be on the next meeting’s agenda. Thank you. <br />Sincerely, <br /> Victoria Buckley, Chair <br />1625 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE • LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 02420 <br />
