HDC Warrant Article Reques t Cover Memo
DRAFT- TO BE SUBMITTED FOR TOWN COUNSEL REVIEW
ARTICLE
To see if the Town will vote to amend Chapter 19, Article 1, of the General Bylaws to ensure
that structures in the Lexington Historic Districts are included in the Demolition by Neglect
regulations and Enforcements and Remedies provisions, Sections 19-4 and 19-5, of said Article
1, or take any action related thereto.
DESCRIPTION:
This warrant article seeks to resolve the paradox of buildings in the Historic Districts having
fewer protections than those outside the Districts in certain situations. First, buildings and
structures in the Historic Districts are vulnerable to demolition by neglect even while historically
or architecturally significant buildings outside the Historic Districts are protected through the
Town’s Demolition of Buildings bylaw, Chapter 19. Historic Districts are intended, among other
things, to prevent demolition of structures in historic districts unless the Historic Districts
Commission determines through a public hearing process that the demolition is appropriate. At
present, however, the procedures described in Section 19-4, which seek to prevent building
decay that could lead to de facto destruction through neglect, exclude buildings in the Historic
Districts In addition, the enforcement and remedies sections of the Historic Districts legislation
are less comprehensive than those set forth in Section 19-5 of Chapter 19.
Proposed text changes shown in red:
Article 1: Historically or Architecturally Significant Buildings (deleted:Outside of Historic
Districts)
…19-2 Definitions
COMMISSION
The Lexington Historical Commission, or for purposes of Sections 19-4 and 19-5 only, also the
Historic Districts Commission, as appropriate.
SIGNIFICANT BUILDING
Any building or portion thereof which:
A. Is listed on, or is within an area listed on, the National Register of Historic Places, or
is the subject of a pending application for listing on said National Register; or
B. Is included in the Cultural Resources Inventory prepared by the Commission including
those buildings listed for which complete surveys may be pending; or
C. Has been determined by vote of the Commission to be historically or architecturally
significant in terms of period, style, method of building construction, or association with a
famous architect or builder provided that the owner of such a building and the Building
Commissioner have been notified, in hand or by certified mail, within 10 days of such
vote; or
D. For purposes of Sections 19-4 and 19-5 only, is within an Historic District, as such
term is defined in the Historic Districts Special Act, Chapter 447 of the Acts of 1956, as
amended

Parking Management Group Proposal
Lexington Center Employee Sticker Program
December 14, 2015
The Parking Management Group and the Lexington Police Department reviewed the
current parking permit program and propose modifications thereto. We received
excellent feedback from concerned businesses. At this time, we propose a modification
to the permit program.
Givens:
1) The Center Employee Sticker Program is only one part of a larger parking
management program.
2) If the Town approves all day parking at certain metered locations around
Lexington Center, the Employee Sticker Program should help decentralize all day
parking away from the core parking areas.
3) The current permit program is stagnant in that very few new permits are available
year to year. As a result, there are many employees and new businesses that
pay full price for parking and have no incentive to park in peripheral areas.
Lexington Center Employee Sticker Proposed Program
Each January, the Police Department’s Traffic Bureau will send notice to all Center
businesses about the parking program. This will include instructions on how to sign up
for employee stickers in addition to educational material.
Employee Option 1:
Pre-Paid Lexington Center Employee Sticker. Similar to the existing permit program,
a business/employee can prepay ($250) for one-year of parking. This is a “one sticker
per vehicle” program. The Pre-Paid sticker would authorize parking at the Depot
Square attended lot and / or any all-day metered space.
Page 2 of 3
Employee Option 2:
Pay as you Go, Employee Discount Sticker. Part-time and seasonal employees may
not wish to pay for a full-year of parking in advance. A Pay as you Go sticker will
permit Lexington Center employees to park in the Depot Square attended lot for the
discounted employee rate ($1 per day flat-rate). It is also recommended that the sticker
will have a one-time annual fee of $15.
LEX
00123
Pre-Paid Sticker Pay as you Go
(EXAMPLES ONLY)
Sticker Request Process:
Businesses in Lexington Center will submit annually to the Traffic Bureau a list of
license plates/employee names wishing to participate in either the pre-paid or pay as
you go sticker program.
The Traffic Bureau will process payment and return the employee lists with the
appropriate pre-paid or pay-as-you-go stickers. Each sticker will have a unique
sequential number. All requests for parking stickers, for either program, will be
honored.
Businesses should instruct employees to attach the sticker to the driver’s side, rear
passenger window. (An easy spot for Parking Attendants to see the sticker).
How it works:
Employees with Pre-Paid stickers can enter the attended Depot Square lot after being
acknowledged by the Parking Lot attendant. Pre-Paid stickers will also authorize
employees to park at properly signed all-day meters (proposed locations along
Muzzey Street between Raymond & Forest; Waltham Street between Vinebrook &
Forest; NStar Lot) without paying for the meter.
PAYG
00001
Page 3 of 3
Employees with Pay as you Go stickers may also park in the Depot Square attended
lot for a flat-rate of $1.00 a day (non-employees will be required to pay the hourly rate,
proposed at $.50); proof of payment allows for exiting and re-entry of the lot without
additional payment required. Pay as you Go employees may also park at properly
signed all-day meters (proposed locations along Muzzey Street between Raymond &
Forest; Waltham Street between Vinebrook & Forest; NStar Lot) but must pay the
posted meter rate.
Church of Our Redeemer & Saint Brigid
These two parking areas will be governed in the same manner as they are currently
being managed, under a permit program. It is recommended that no additional permits
be issued at the Church of Our Redeemer and that the annual price be reduced from
$225 to $150. Efforts to expand the number of permit spaces at Saint Brigid will
continue with no changes to the existing annual fee ($100).
Miscellaneous Issues
The Police Department will continue to use similar protocols for lost and damaged
stickers. Individuals who operate more than one vehicle to Lexington Center may prefer
the Pay as you Go program. Individuals with unpaid parking tickets may be denied a
parking sticker/permits pending payment of overdue parking tickets.
“Park, Lock & Walk”
A collaboration with property and business owners, as well as business managers is
important to the success of this program. Encouraging Center employees to “Park,
Lock & Walk” from a peripheral location will insure that metered spaces are available to
the customers who frequent Lexington Center.

Parking Mitigation in the CB
PILOP - Payment In Lieu of Parking
December 2, 2015 DRAFT
SECTION 1: BACKGROUND
In June 2014, the Board of Selectmen adopted the Lexington Center Parking and Implementation Plan
with the goal to improve parking conditions in the Center. The plan provides 29 interrelated
recommendations for the Central Business District (CB) including revising the parking requirements,
encouraging shared parking between uses, and introducing additional transportation demand
management strategies. The recommendations are designed to better accommodate the existing
mixed-use environment and promote village-oriented growth. In addition, the Board of Selectmen have
acknowledged that the existing parking requirements may be difficult to meet for the types of projects
the community desires in the Center. For this reason, the Board of Selectmen requested that the
Planning Board update the CB parking requirements as a Town goal for 2016.
In the interim, the Board of Selectmen adopted the following a Payment In Lieu Of Parking (PILOP) policy
which standardizes a method to calculate mitigation for projects that receive a Special Permit when the
parking cannot be provided on-site and need to be absorbed in the public realm. The mitigation
contributions will augment funds designated to improve public parking in Lexington Center. The goals of
the PILOP mitigation are to:
• Serve as an interim measure until the Planning Board can recommend updated parking
requirements and policies to Town Meeting.
• Establish a method to calculate mitigation associated with the Zoning Board of Appeal’s Special
Permit for waived parking requirements to fund the management and/or construction of
public/shared parking
SECTION 2: PILOP APPLICABILITY
The PILOP mitigation applies to any proposed project within the Lexington Central Business District that
requires more parking and applies for a Special Permit because the total minimum number of parking
spaces required by the zoning by-law cannot be met. With the approval of a Special Permit, the
applicant shall pay a one-time PILOP mitigation to the Parking Meter Fund in compensation for the
parking waived. The PILOP mitigation would apply to the following types of proposed projects:
• Change of use
• Expansion
• Internal reconfiguration
• Reconstruction
• Demolition and new construction in any part of a building or the entire building on a parcel or
parcels of land developed
2
SECTION 3: CALCULATION OF PILOP MITIGATION
The PILOP mitigation is based on the parking demand generated by the proposed project under the
existing parking requirements.
Fill in the appropriate information on each lettered line to determine the number that will be applied to
the PILOP mitigation schedule in Section 4:
PILOP Mitigation Calculation
A.
Required Parking:
The number of parking spaces required by the proposed
project per the zoning by-law.
B.
Parking Provided On-site:
The total number of on-site, if any, parking spaces available
for the proposed project.
C.
Number of parking spaces that cannot be provided on-site
(the calculation of line A minus the number in line B).
D.
The total number of available off-site parking spaces with
proof that spaces are owned or leased within a half mile
radius of the proposed project, if any.
E. PILOP Mitigation Number:
Subtract the number in line D from line C
Note: Parking spaces are used as a unit of measurement to calculate the PILOP mitigation; however, the
number of parking spaces used in this calculation may not be the same number requested in the Special
Permit.
SECTION 4: MITAGTION SCHEDULE
The PILOP mitigation schedule listed below shall be applied to the number calculated in Line E. The
mitigation incremental increases per space based on the total number of spaces in line E.
The Zoning Board of Appeals may consider a reduction of the calculated mitigation if the applicant
implements Parking & Transportation Demand Management strategies such as covered bike racks,
shuttle service, car-sharing service/parking, transit passes, shared parking spaces, and parking permits
with the Town.
3
PILOP Mitigation Number $ Per Space
Spaces 1 to 5 $0
Spaces 6 to 10 $200
Spaces 11-20 $1,000
Spaces 21-41 $2,000
Spaces 42-50 $3,000
Spaces 51 or more $4,000
SECTION 5: TIMELINE FOR PAYMENT
The PILOP mitigation shall be paid to the Town in two installments: one-half prior to the issuance of a
building permit for any improvements associated with a project and one-half prior to receipt of the
certificate of occupancy for all or any portion of a building.
Alternatively, the applicant may pay the entire fee prior to the receiving the building permit. There shall
be no refund of PILOP mitigation when fewer parking spaces are required due to a change of use or a
reduction in gross floor area.
SECTION 6: ADDITIONAL PARKING REQUIREMENTS
Any succeeding building expansion or change of use that requires new additional parking spaces shall
require action: Either the applicant must provide the additional parking on-site or request a new Special
Permit and provide the appropriate PILOP mitigation.
SECTION 7: USE OF PILOP MITIGATION
PILOP mitigation funds shall be deposited in the Town’s Parking Meter Fund and be used for the
following purposes:
1. Survey and design plans
PILOP mitigation shall be used to fund the survey and design plans for the redevelopment of downtown
parking lots. Survey and design plans would address expanding parking capacity and optimizing the
functional use in the following parking lots: Edison Way lot, Depot lot, Town Offices lot, Cary Library lot,
and the potential Waltham-Muzzy lot.
2. Subsidize permit parking
PILOP mitigation shall also be used to subsidize the permit program to incentivize parking in specific
locations by charging less than market value for permits in preferred parking locations. The
expenditures address the Town’s immediate parking needs in the short-medium term.
The projects outlined are in accordance with Massachusetts General Law, Part I, Title VII, Chapter 40,
Section 22b1 and 22c2 on uses of Parking Meter Fund revenue.

PILOP Fee Methodology
Costs
• Critical Improvements
o Low estimate for critical improvements
$8,479/space (20 year life-span, adjusted for inflation).
This cost includes developing on undeveloped land and turning it into a basic
parking lot. Includes drainage, groundwater infiltration system, granite curbing,
landscaping, and parking meter installation.
o High estimate for critical improvements
$26,316/space (20 year life-span)
This is the cost of building an existing parking lot and adding site improvements.
Includes demolition, site prep, earthwork, paving, curbing, landscaping,
drainage, electrical, design plans, and professional service fees.
• Purchase of Land
o Approximately $5,708/space to purchase. (NStar Lot study)
• Permits/Leasing
o Weighted average cost of one permitted space the Town leases: $273/year/space
o Adjusted for 3% inflation = $8,736/space (20 year life span)
Revenue
• Parking Meter and Lot Receipts
o Parking meters average FY14 and 15: $200,195
o Parking lot receipts average FY14 and 15: $155,233
o Total: $355,428
o $355,428/1,663 = 213.73/space
o $6,337 per space (NPV of revenue over 20 years; discounted at 3% and accounting for
parking rates doubling)
• Parking spaces for general use:
o 1,329 on street
o 334 off street
o TOTAL: 1,663 spaces
Low Estimate
• Calculation
o $8,479 (critical improvements) + $8,736 (permits/leasing) + $5,708 (land) - $6,337
(revenue) = $16,586
o Divided by three stakeholders = $5,528/space
o Divided by five stakeholders= $3,317/space
High Estimate
• Calculation
o $26,316 (critical improvements) +$8,736 (permits/leasing) + $5,708 (land) -$6,337
(revenue) = $34,423/space
o Divided by three stakeholders = $11,474/space
o Divided by five stakeholders = $6,885/space

Dear Azeem,
Congratulations on attaining the highest rank in Scouting. We know the trail to
Eagle has not always been an easy one and we recognize that you have had to work hard
to get this far. Your time in positions of leadership within Troop 160, and the successful
completion of your Eagle project, speaks to your dedication.
Being an Eagle is so much more than just another rank. It is a recognition of what
you have achieved so far, but of more importance is the implied promise you have made
to maintain the ideals of Scouting into your adult life.
We know that your family and fellow Scouts are proud of you and will look to
you to be a leader as you continue your journey beyond Eagle.
Again, congratulations and good luck in all your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Joseph N. Pato, Chairman
