Lexington Board of Selectmen
1625 Massachusetts Avenue
Lexington, MA 02420
Dear Board of Selectmen,
On July 30, 2012, a Board majority identified a portion of the Busa land as a site for
affordable housing. At that meeting the Board of Selectmen was unanimous in its
support of designating a portion of the Busa parcel for affordable housing; members
differed on the size of the parcel and the number of units to create. The Board requested
LexHAB to develop a proposal for that housing. LexHAB has presented their proposal.
The Lexington Housing Partnership is writing in support of their proposal with the hope
that your Board will approve the development of six units to maximize this important
affordable housing opportunity.
LexHAB proposes the construction of two buildings, consistent in dimensions with other
residences in the neighborhood. Carter Scott of Transformations Inc. has completed the
design work; as per your Board’s request, Carl Odenburg has also consulted on some of
the design specifications. Each building would have 2 two-bedroom and 1 one-bedroom
apartments. The units will be highly energy efficient, in keeping with Town policy.
This parcel, less than one-half acre, is only 5.9 percent of the total site purchased by the
Town of Lexington. Now that the operators of the community farm have been chosen
and a lease entered, the Lexington Housing Partnership believes it is time for the Board
of Selectmen to approve the proposal so the development of these much-needed
affordable housing units can begin. As you know, there has been significant discussion
about the size and scope of the housing portion of this parcel; in the spirit of compromise,
LexHAB’s present proposal for housing has already been scaled back from eight units to
six units.
Approval of this LexHAB proposal is necessary to complete a compromise solution,
advancing multiple Town interests. In their presentation to the Busa Land Use
Committee, community farm advocates initially sought designation of the entire parcel
for farming. The Lexington Housing Partnership presented to the Busa Committee a
well-planned, two building proposal totaling 10-14 units. The Busa Committee
recommended to the BOS the adoption of the farming proposal along with a very modest
amount of housing. Later, your Board requested LexHAB to provide a housing proposal;
LexHAB did so, suggesting the construction of 4 duplex buildings [8 apartments] on the
entire 360 foot frontage along Lowell Street south of the existing homes. The Board
rejected that approach and will now consider LexHAB's 6 apartment approach in two
buildings on the smaller parcel designated by the Board in July 2012.
LexHAB’s present plan offers a cost effective method for providing affordable housing.
The estimated total design and building costs for the two buildings will be $1,200.000.
When this amount is added to the portion of the cost of the land set aside for housing,
$256,001, the cost for each of the six new housing units will only be $242,667. This is
well below the CPA guidelines for LexHAB’s use of CPA funding for housing, which is
$525,000 for a single unit. Therefore, LexHAB’s current plan is the most favorable
approach we have seen so far in Lexington.
Approval of LexHAB's proposal will implement carefully considered statements of Town
values. The land use section of the Planning Board's Comprehensive Plan cites one goal
as “[h]ousing to support the social and economic diversity of Lexington.” Another
criterion states: “In disposing of 'surplus' land, give priority to the uses for which land is
essential: diversity-serving housing and the preservation of open space.” The text of the
2020 Vision Statement is also germane. It identifies as among Town interests “preserving
. . . public and private open spaces” and adds that the Town “strives . . . to maintain a
range of affordability.” Lastly, one significant CPC criterion for evaluating proposals
reads: “”Serve more than one CPA purpose (especially in linking open space, recreation
and community housing) or demonstrate why serving multiple needs is not feasible.”
[CPC “General Criteria”]
The Vision Statement's reference to “a range of affordability” warrants emphasis.
Much evidence demonstrates there is a real threat to economic diversity in Lexington.
From 1999 through June, 2012 seven hundred and twenty seven (727) demolition permits
were granted to developers. Typically, replacement homes are priced 2 to 3 times the
amount paid by developers for a property. A drive through Lexington today will show
that modestly priced homes continue to be torn down at an alarming rate. In 2013, the
median sales price for a home in Lexington was $820,000. An advertisement in the
January 30, 2014 Minuteman listed 17 homes, one for $572,000 and the others from
$1,198,000 to $3,230,000. Rents for market-rate apartments in Lexington are also
expensive. For example, two of Avalon’s three Lexington apartment developments, as
well as Katahdin Woods, and the Battle Green Apartments are advertising monthly rents
for two-bedroom apartments that range from $1,990 per month to $2,680 per month.
Waiting lists also show the need for substantially more affordable units. Many locations
have waiting lists of several years or more. [Information compiled by the Regional
Housing Services Office.]
And finally, although it is often said that the Town currently meets Chapter 40B
standards, the method for determining the town’s SHI (Subsidized Housing Inventory)
counts all the units in a development, even if some of the units are market-rate rather than
affordable. For example, of the 387 units at Avalon Hills that are counted for assessing
Chapter 40B compliance, only 97 of those units are actually affordable and 290 are
market rate. Lexington has 1,334 SHI-Qualified units; however, only 663 are affordable
as defined by DHCD. Therefore, due to the way the legislation is written, Lexington is in
compliance, but the inventory of real affordable housing options for families in
Lexington is shrinking. To be consistent with the Town’s aforesaid statements of core
values we need to treat Chapter 40B’s 10% rule as a minimum requirement not a
definitive on the statement of need.
The Lexington Housing Partnership believes that LexHAB’s proposal to create six
affordable housing units on the Busa property deserves the unanimous support of the
Board of Selectman.
Thank you for your consideration,
Betsey Weiss, Chair and the Lexington Housing Partnership Committee

SUBJECT:
Community Center Advisory Committee Update
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the Board of Selectmen meeting of February 3rd, Michelle Ciccolo and Pat Goddard requested
five weeks of additional time before providing a Community Center renovation recommendation
to the Board. During the five weeks, a team of consultants, staff, and residents reviewed options
for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, building insulation and lighting to determine which
combination yielded the most cost effective approach to deliver the required Community Center
environmental conditions. In addition, the team evaluated implementing the preferred scope of
work in a single project or a two-phased project.
The result of this analysis was review at the March 5th meeting of the Ad hoc Community Center
Advisory Committee. The committee unanimously supported the recommendation to implement
the project in one phase. The budget estimate provided totaled $6,320,000. This project cost
would require supplemental appropriation at the March Special Town Meeting in the amount of
$3,150,000. This amount is currently estimated as being $3,050,000 eligible for CPA funding
and $100,000 provided from the general fund.
Also attached is the revised financial analysis for funding projects that the Board requested at the
February 3 meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
Move that the Community Center Renovation Project be implemented as a single
construction project and that the budget for implementation be finalized for appropriation
at the March 24 Special Town Meeting.
STAFF FOLLOW-UP:
Meet with the Community Preservation Committee and the Capital Expenditures Committee and
finalize the budget request for Special Town Meeting March 24, 2014.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
For reference purposes, prior presentations before the Board, relative to the work of this Committee, have
occurred on September 23, 2013, October 17, 2013, December 16, 2013, January 27th, 2013, and February
3rd, 2014.
At the Meeting of February 3rd, Pat Goddard and I were present to request that the Board allow additional
time needed to advance the design of the project. We noted that despite the aggressive design schedule,
the Town had only recently acquired the facility in December 2013, and the architecture and engineering
teams had actually had very limited time inside the building to study and evaluate the facility’s needs.
Areas yet to be fully explored included the HVAC system requirements, energy efficiency objectives, and
certain exterior components of the building. We requested 4-6 weeks to consider different phasing
scenarios (whether to include HVAC upgrades or perform them at a later date); to perform a cost-benefit
analysis of various potential energy efficiency improvements; and to estimate the impact on both the
anticipated occupancy date and the budget for the various scenarios being evaluated. The Board
expressed concern about potential delay in occupancy but expressed a preference to continue fleshing out
the design in the areas noted above.
The results of the further refining of the project scope and design have been quite favorable and a clear
path now seems to be self-evident. Combining the HVAC upgrades into the initial construction yields
minimal project delay, saves the Town almost $500,000, and prevents the disruption of programs and
staff which would have occurred if HVAC improvements were done in an occupied building at a later
date. Consequently, the AhCCAC is now recommending that the project proceed as one phase with
HVAC improvements fully incorporated into one set of bid documents.
Should the Board agree with this approach, and Town Meeting appropriate the necessary funding this
spring, the project will go out to bid as one unified project. The resulting anticipated occupancy date
would be March 1, 2015, a loss of only around 4-6 weeks in the project schedule. The total new
anticipated budget is $6,320,000 with the majority of the funding coming from CPA. A detailed CPA
cost impact model will be prepared for the Board and available at its meeting on 3/10/14.
Attached is a power point presentation which details the preferred HVAC upgrades which is now the
project approach the AhCCAC is recommending the BOS advance.

This includes construction estimate, schedule, and value engineering suggestions.• SBA contracted BR+A to perform a building energy model and life cycle costing analysis for implementing option 2 and to add higher insulation values in the walls and ceiling.• SBA, BR+A, Shawmut and Town of Lexington met January 29, 30, February 5, 7, 12 (with Energy and Sustainability Committee members), 13, 26, and March 3 to discuss the options, costs, and schedule impacts of the various scenarios.
Steffian Bradley Architects United States•United Kingdom•Canada•ChinaLEXINGTON COMMUNITY CENTER – March 5, 2014Findings• The technical analysis found that implementing the project in one phase instead of two should only extend the occupancy date by 4 to 6 weeks, with an opening of the first week in March.• The capital costs to perform the work in two phases increases direct costs approximately $382,000, increasing project costs $484,000.• The existing building has good insulating properties, and adding additional insulation does not improve comfort or enough energy savings to justify the expense.• Replacing the chiller and boiler with more efficient, newer equipment would result in a simple pay back of 27 years

New Philips InstantFit LED lamps are not recommended at this time. • Sufficient cooling capacity to cool rooms to 74 degree F, per Town guidelines.• Sufficient heating capacity to heat rooms to 70 degree F, per Town guidelines.• New energy recovery ventilation to provide efficient ventilation for offices and assembly areas as recommended per American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-conditioning Engineers Standards.• An accessible entrance into the Mansion from the patio, and replacement of the patio stones with an accessibility compliant surface. • A sidewalk extending from Marrett Road to the existing Community Center sidewalk.• Repairs to building envelope including trim/facia/sealants.
Steffian Bradley Architects United States•United Kingdom•Canada•ChinaLEXINGTON COMMUNITY CENTER – March 5, 2014What Is Not Included in Recommended Scope• Neither a 250 kw generator nor a 450 kw generator (required to maintain environmental conditions) since the installed cost of the small generator exceeds $500,000.• An integrated manual transfer switch with distribution for connection of a portable 250 kw generator, as installed cost exceeded $250,000.• Additional insulation in wall cavities. It was estimated that, due to the amount of wood trim and detailing, opening the walls, replacing the insulation with foam to increase the R value from 19 to 30 would cost over $850,000, but yield only $47/yr in savings.• Similarly, adding additional batt insulation above the ceiling to increase R-value from 30 to 50 would cost approximately $50,000 and yield only $10/yr in savings.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN POLICY
REMOTE PARTICIPATION
Date Approved by BOS: Signature of Chair:
1. Purpose Statement
This policy establishes clear guidelines for remote participation in meetings of Lexington
public bodies. The policy promotes greater participation in public meetings by allowing
board and committee members to participate by telephone, internet, video conferencing, or
other forms of adaptive telecommunications when specific circumstances prevent them from
being physically present. However, all members of public bodies are strongly encouraged to
attend meetings in person whenever possible.
2. Enabling Authority
The Open Meeting Law regulations at 940 CMR 29.00, amended by the Office of the
Attorney General and adopted by the Lexington Board of Selectmen on (month) (day), 2014,
allows members of public bodies to participate remotely in meetings when specific
circumstances prevent them from being physically present. 940 CMR 29.10 (8) allows a
municipality to prohibit or further restrict remote participation, but does not provide for
making those regulations less stringent.
3. Applicability
This policy shall apply to all Lexington public bodies subject to the Open Meeting Law (e.g.
boards, committees, commissions and sub-committees), including the School Committee,
whether appointed or elected. As provided by statute, the Lexington Retirement Board is not
covered by this policy but may choose to adopt its own policy.
4. Technology
a) The Town does not guarantee that sufficient technology for remote participation will be
available for any given meeting.
b) If hearing assist devices are in use, the technology employed for remote participation
must effectively connect with the hearing assist system.
5. Lexington Restrictions Governing Remote Participation
a) Any costs incurred by a remote participant will not be reimbursed by the Town.
b) Remote participation in an executive session is not allowed.

Remote Participation Guide
(March 10, 2014)
The Remote Participation Policy, as adopted by the Board of Selectmen, permits remote
participation by members of public bodies at public meetings in accordance with 940 CMR
29.10 and outlines local restrictions as allowed under the law.
The State’s regulations on remote participation may be found at:
<http://www.mass.gov/ago/government-resources/open-meeting-law/940-cmr-
2900.html#Remote>.
You are encouraged to read the entire document, but this guide is intended to be an outline of the
Attorney General’s regulations for remote participation. Should there be any discrepancy
between the law and this guide, the law shall prevail.
The chair, or, in the chair’s absence, the person authorized to chair the meeting, is responsible for
compliance with this policy.
1. Permissible Reasons for Remote Participation
It is the express desire of the Board of Selectmen that remote participation in meetings be an
infrequent event, for both individual board members and public bodies as a whole. Chairs of
public bodies are encouraged to interpret these rules in a strict fashion and to continue to
persuade all members to attend meetings in person as a general rule, due to the inherent benefits
of physical presence at a meeting. Chairs are encouraged to inform their colleagues that remote
participation will not be permitted simply as a matter of convenience.
A member may remotely participate in a meeting should his/her physical presence be
unreasonably difficult for any of the following reasons:
a. Personal illness;
b. Personal disability;
c. Family or other personal emergency;
d. Military service;
e. Significant geographic distance.
2. Minimum Requirements for Remote Participation
a. Remote participants and all persons present at the meeting location shall be clearly
audible to each other. If video conferencing technology is also in use, the remote
participants shall be clearly visible to all persons present in the meeting location.
b. A quorum of the body, including the chair or, in the chair’s absence, the person
authorized to chair the meeting, shall be physically present.
3. Procedures for Remote Participation
a. Any member of the body wishing to participate remotely should notify the chair as soon
as reasonably possible prior to the meeting. The chair has the authority to grant or deny
requests to participate remotely.
b. At the start of the meeting, the chair must announce the name of any member who will be
participating remotely and the reason for his/her remote participation. This information
shall be recorded in the meeting minutes.
c. All votes taken during a meeting in which a member participates remotely shall be by roll
call vote.
d. When feasible, the chair or, in the chair’s absence, the person authorized to chair the
meeting, shall distribute to remote participants, in advance of the meeting, copies of any
documents or exhibits that he/she reasonably anticipates will be used during the meeting.
If used during the meeting, such documents shall be part of the official record of the
meeting, and shall be listed in the meeting minutes and retained in accordance with
M.G.L. c. 30A, sec. 22.
4. Technology
a. The minimum technology required will be a speakerphone of sufficient quality to be
intelligible to all in the meeting.
b. If communication problems inhibit the progress of the meeting, the chair must decide
whether to continue the meeting, suspend the meeting, or terminate the participation of
the remote participant. In the event that more than one member remotely participates, the
chair shall evaluate each connection separately and may elect to terminate the
participation of one or more of the remote participants should technical difficulties inhibit
the progress of the meeting. The meeting minutes must reflect any
