PBC Minutes 6-18-20 Members Present: ]on Himmel, Dick Perry, Chuck Favazzo, Celis Brisbin It should be mentioned that several members of the Sustainable Lexington Committee were present as was Mark Sandeen (Select Board Liaison) as well as other residents. Participating in the presentation were representatives from Tecton Architects and his Consultants as well as the Town's Sustainable Design consultant, the Green Engineer. As Co-Chair ]on Himmel opened the meeting by reading the preamble as requested by the Select Board for Remote meetings. Tecton Architects began with a PowerPoint presentation for an update on the Police Station Project. A Site Plan was shared that demonstrated some development since last meeting, showing the full Fletcher Field area, bio-retention Basin, some landscaping, an updated focus area at the front entrance to the Police station and a possible reflective space in front of the former entry that could possibly be an area for the police memorial. The overall parking count remains unchanged in this design which matches the existing parking counts' and the calculated green space area is larger than the existing condition. Generator placement and potential battery storage placement is an ongoing discussion, but are expected to go between the police station and Cary Memorial Hall. There was a reminder about the pending new antenna tower at the rear corner of the site. There was a quick walk thru of the two floor plans but little discussion as there has been no real changes since the last meeting. In general, the current design (all new construction) is approx. 5000 sf less than the prior fall 2019 plan, which was based on the preservation of two facades as previously desired' by the HDC, renovation and additions to the existing building. There was a general review of the building elevations and a perspective. The Architect commented on the color of the metal panning. The design of the overhead doors still needs work. See minutes later on for discussion on update from HDC informal hearing. 'The count includes the seven patrol cars that are to be parked within the building.
