Hutchinson, Jr., Town Manager Town Office Building Lexington, Massachusetts 02173 Dear Mr. Hutchinson: At'the meeting of the Lexington Historic Districts Commission on September.19, 1984, there was discussion of the fact that the Town had failed to apply for or receive a Certificate of Appropriateness for the structures erected at the Center parking lot in the process of converting it to an attended facility. There is nothing in the Historic Districts statute that exempts the Town from the requirement to receive a Certificate. for the erection of, a "....building or structure....within the historic districts.... ". The attendant's shelter, the gate, the barricades, and the yellow paint lines all fall within the definition of "building or structure" as it has been applied to taxpayers. and citizens of the Town. The Commission feels that the Town itself should be a leader in abiding by its own statutes, and that by avoiding due process it sets a poor example for its citizens. We ask, therefore, that you file a written request for a hearing before the Commission, according to the terms of the Historic Districts statute, in order -to present the designs for the new parking lot structures and seek a Certificate of Appropriateness for their installation.
