<br />LEXINGTON DESIGN ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />Meeting Minutes: <br />July 11, 2006 <br /> <br />Present: <br />Colin Smith (Chair), Bruce Creager, John Frey, Ginna Johnson, Timothy Lee, Bahig <br />Kaldas <br /> <br />Scribe: <br />Colin Smith <br /> <br />Call to Order: <br />The Meeting was called to Order at 7:30PM. <br /> <br />Approvals: <br />Minutes of the June 6th meeting were approved with minor corrections. <br /> <br />Presentations/Review: <br /> <br />31 Massachusetts Ave. (Car Wash) <br />o <br />A proposal for the expansion of the car wash facility at 31 Massachusetts Ave. was <br />reviewed. The existing drive-thru car wash structure is to remain and self-serve bays <br />are being installed to increase service. While the proposed site plan appears to <br />maximize use of the site it ignores the 10’ buffer requirement along Massachusetts <br />Ave. In addition, circulation requires further study as turning radii and parking <br />spaces look tight. It was suggested that the plan be reworked to a less dense proposal <br />and zoning by-laws are adhered to. There was brief discussion about the overall look <br />and materials to be used on the project (gabled roof elements, cupola less important, <br />brick, metal, etc…) but that this should be reviewed after the site plan is reworked <br />and the building forms are better established. <br /> <br />Other Business: <br /> <br />Hayden Park Memorial Bench <br />o <br />The DAC reviewed a proposal for a memorial bench located at the southern end of <br />the running track at Hayden Field. There was a general feeling that the bench should <br />be located where it would get more use, such as near the parking lot. Ultimately the <br />Recreation Department will need to review and approve the location of the bench as <br />there are track and field regulations that will dictate placement. <br /> <br />NStar Parking Lot <br />o <br />The DPW preliminary parking plan was reviewed and it was determined that the stall <br />sizes were insufficient and grading needed further study. The DAC recommended <br />planters be enlarged and additional trees provided. A sketch plan was drawn up and <br />forwarded to DPW for consideration. <br /> <br />Adjournment: <br />The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:00PM. <br /> <br />Next Meeting: <br />Scheduled for Tuesday August 8 @ 7:30PM. <br /> <br />Cc: <br />Board of Selectmen <br />Wendy Manz, Planning Board Liaison <br /> <br /> <br />
