LEXINGTON DESIGN ADVISORY COMMITTEE <br />August 18, 2007 <br />To: Board of Appeals <br />Re: 397 Lowell Street <br />Verizon Wireless <br />At its regular meeting on July 10, 2007, the DAC reviewed a Verizon's wireless facility proposal for <br />397 Lowell Street. Comments focused largely on the position and height of the rooftop screen <br />enclosure. It was recommended that the applicant move the location 6' further from Lowell Street and <br />reduce the height from 12' to 10'. The applicant was encouraged to return to the next DAC meeting in <br />August with photo simulations of the proposal. <br />On August 7, 2007 the applicant submitted new drawings showing the new 6' setback location and <br />photo simulations showing options for the facade material (stucco or brick) for review. The DAC is <br />appreciative of the clarity of the presentation and has the following comments: <br />- Rooftop screen location (6' setback from back side of building) is reasonable. <br />- Material for screen wall to be brick (match existing building) with metal coping as shown in <br />photo simulations. <br />- The height of the screen at 12' appears tall and slightly out of scale with the building, a 10' high <br />screen wall would be more appropriate. <br />The DAC recommends this project be approved with the above-mentioned comments. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Colin P. Smith AIA, Chairman <br />Lexington Design Advisory Committee <br />Cc: Board of Selectmen <br />
