Delori Lincoln Planning Board Jane Farmer Bedford Planning Board Robert Nash Minuteman National Park Annabelle Shepherd Concord Selectman Rosamond Delori convened the meeting at 7:x+5 p.m., and .the minutes .were approved as amended. A letter from the Lincoln Planning. Board to Dan Beagan of CTPS was .distributed to those in attendance. .This letter expressed Lincoln's. concern about. the present .limitations to Route #2 improvements, and they suggested an additional scenario to the study called "Supermax in the Route #2 Corridor". (copy enclosed) Norm Faramelli responded that additional grade separations for Route #2 intersections already .have been added to the study; namely, Bedford Street. in Lincoln; and Crosby's Corner, Rt #126 and Rt #62 in Concord. Robert Nash commented that the Park Administration favored a "no build" option as the minimum,and maximum build. would include the widening of Rt #2A at Marrett Road and the sgnalization of the Hanscom Drive intersection -but no further. expansion. Rosamond passed out some material relative o a proposed review process for new developments that would be considered by HATS. She distributed a question and answer summary; a notification form to be submitted by a developer; references from an MA.PC land use. study;. an ..approval (or disapproval) process for a plan; and a flow chart showing the sequence of events from the time the ..developer files the notificatior. form.' Rosamond explained the chronological procedure and the possible thresholds which would trigger a HATS review process. r Questions followed - some with answers: 1) Why should developers get involved in-this additional study requirement when there is no legal obligation to do so? Simply good faith by the developer to work with.. the Towns, It could certainly be to the developer's advantage to cooperate with a request for this kind of traffic information -;data that he would probably be required to provide in any case.
