Tax Deferral and Exemption Study Committee Recommendation Backup Material
Article 27- Establish Qualifications for Tax Deferrals
The Selectmen’s Tax Deferral and Exemption Study Committee advises the Selectmen to propose an
increase in the income eligibility level for property tax deferrals to $70,000. The current limit is
$65,000.
The $65,000 limit has been in place since FY 2014, when the applicant’s income was based
on the 2012 tax return.
Since 2012, the qualifying property value for the State Senior Property Tax “Circuit Breaker”
has dropped from $705,000 to the current limit of $693,000. In the past the property value
limit has been as high as $793,000.
During the same span of time, property values in Lexington have experienced dramatic
increases. Seniors whose valuations may previously have qualified them for Circuit Breaker
relief may now be priced out of eligibility. Increasing the income eligibility amount for our
deferral program may offer seniors who are newly disqualified from Circuit Breaker relief a
way to compensate for that financial loss.
Historically, participation numbers in the deferral program have been very steady. In FY
2013, when the income limit was $60,000, there were 29 deferrals. A new $65,000 limit in
2014 resulted in 31 deferrals. In 2015 the number dropped back down to 29. We therefor
feel that increasing the income limit to $70,000 will not result in a material fiscal impact to
the Town.

SUMMARY:
Ms . Blo o m will attend your meeting to reques t yo ur s upport for her citizen artic le. She is s uggesting that the
Selec tmen app o int a s tud y group to investigate the c o s ts and inc o me produc ed by adopting MGL 59 Sec 2D.
The s tud y gro up s hould be ab le to produce the rep o rt within 8 weeks. It s ho uld b e made available to the
Selec tmen and to Town Meeting.
There are 2 main reas o ns fo r adopting MGL 59 2D:
1. F airness. If s o meo ne is living in Lexington, us ing town s ervic es and sc ho o ls , they s hould pay real es tate
taxes based on the as s es s ment of the improved p ro p erty at the p o int the Cert. of Occ . is issued - not based on
the value o f the former ho use (o r the p artially c ompleted ho use) fo r the 1 year period until we update the
as s es s ment.
2. The town is leaving "mo ney on the table", not a good id ea when taxes are inexo rab ly ris ing and yo u are
as king fo r overrides . T he town o f Natic k gets ab o ut $300,000 p er year from 59 2D pro rated tax bills. The
amo unt varies with the amo unt o f new cons truc tion.
An interesting fac t is that o nly 20 o ut of 351 c ities and towns in the Commo nwealth have cho s en to o p t out o f
59 2D. We should be ab le to get ad vic e on effic ient imp lementation since mos t of them have b een d o ing this

ARTICLE 43 AMEND ZONING BY-LAW
BANKING & REAL ESTATE USES IN THE CB DISTRICT
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning Bylaw to require special permits for banking
and credit unions (Line H.1.05 in the Table of Uses) and real estate sales or rentals (Line H.1.04)
service uses in the Central Business (CB) District and repeal the moratorium, set to expire on
July 31, 2016, on banks in center storefronts, or act in any other manner in relation thereto.
(Inserted at the request of the Planning Board)
DESCRIPTION: This article would delete the sections of the bylaw related to the expiring
banking moratorium established by the 2015 Annual Town Meeting while requiring a special
permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals to establish, move, or expand banking and real estate
service businesses in the CB District.
PROPOSED MOTION
1. Delete the current Section 3.1.6 and replace with the following:
3.1.6 Banks and Credit Unions and Real Estate Sales or Rentals in CB District Storefronts.
1. Purpose. Lexington Center is a place in which shops, work places, schools, historic
attractions, housing, open space, and civic facilities intimately co-exist to create an
active retail and cultural destination with an identifiable sense of place. It is in the
public interest that the Town protect and enhance the vibrancy of the Central
Business District by creating a supportive environment for a diverse group of uses
throughout the Center, and regulating the use of the limited first floor storefront area
and frontage of the Central Business District is necessary to achieve this goal.
2. Special Permit Review Criteria. In addition to the criteria detailed in 135-9.4.2, as a
precondition to allowing the establishment, relocation, or expansion of a banking or
credit union or real estate service use (Lines H.1.05 and Line H.1.04 respectively in
the Table of Uses) in the Central Business District, the SPGA must also find that the
applicant has satisfied the specific criteria listed below:
a) The granting of the special permit will advance the goals expressed in 3.1.6.1
above; and
b) The granting of the special permit will not add to the concentration of the same
use in that portion of the Center, and it is in the public interest to have more of the
proposed use in the proposed location; and
c) The proposed use will maintain hours of operation and an active storefront
throughout the day, evening, and weekends, consistent with other retail uses in the
Central Business District; and
d) The proposed length of the storefront will not exceed the average length of other
storefronts in the Central Business District; and
e) The proposed first floor square footage will not exceed the average size of other
storefronts in the Central Business District; and
f) Consistent with preserving a diverse and vibrant group of retail and service uses
in storefronts, the granting of the special permit will not create any office,
conference, or storage spaces visible from the street, sidewalk, or any lot line.

Board of Selectmen, Town of Lexington:
Joseph Pato, Chair
Suzie Barry
Michelle Ciccolo
Norman Cohen
Peter Kelley
Dear Board Members,
The Lexington Retailers Association (LRA) requests permission to have exclusive use of the Muzzey St./
Waltham St. parking lot on Saturday May 28, 2016 (with a rain date of June 4) from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., for
the purpose of hosting the 37rd annual Discovery Day Street Fair. In addition we request the use of Emery
Park, from 3:00 p.m. to 6 p.m. for an Outdoor Concert by the NoWheremen, a Lexington based “Beatles
cover band”.
During Discovery Day the LRA will be placing portable toilet facilities in the Waltham/Muzzey St. parking
lot, and temporarily convert the parking spaces at either entrance to handicapped parking for the duration of
the event. We also want to work with the DPW to provide temporary bike racks for the event.
For the purpose of event publicity we request permission to:
-erect seven temporary signs at the following locations:
1) on Emery Park, starting May 13 and ending at the conclusion of the event;
2) on Massachusetts Avenue sidewalk near the Police Booth, during the event;
3) on Massachusetts Avenue sidewalk at Waltham Street, during the event ;
4) on Massachusetts Avenue sidewalk at Muzzey Street, during the event;
5) on Massachusetts Avenue sidewalk at the Alley between #’s 1776-1780, during the event,
6) on Waltham Street sidewalk at the Alley between #’s 11-25, during the event;
7) at the Bike-path, in the area by the crossover behind 1775 Mass Ave, during the event.
-park a flat bed trailer in Lexington Center on Massachusetts Avenue in two metered parking spaces in
front of Depot Square starting on Friday May 20 and ending on the morning of Discovery Day. A banner
publicizing Discovery Day would be hung on the trailer.
-provide Free parking by placing bags over the parking meters in the Central Business District, and not
charging in the Depot Lot on Discovery Day. The LRA would be responsible for placing and removing the
bags. They would be attached late in the evening prior to Discovery Day and removed after the event. The
bags are printed to publicize the event, and most importantly work in conjunction with the above sidewalk
signs.
Last year, over 80 of Lexington’s businesses, civic organizations and municipal departments transformed
the Waltham /Muzzey St. parking lot into a fun filled, family oriented street fair. We appreciate the
cooperation the Town provided last year, and look forward to working with you again.
The enclosed page is designed to address questions you may have about Discovery Day.
Sincerely,
Richard Michelson, President
Lexington Retailers Association
