The Affordable Housing Trust adopted a policy September 28, 2023 (attached) to use Trust funds for buy-downs. An additional source of funds for buy-downs is fee-waivers, such as Building permit fees. Consideration could be given to: 1) Waiving the pro-rata portion of Building and other permit fees of an affordable unit 2) Waiving fees of all the affordable units in the development 3) Waiving all fees in the development up to a given maximum(e.g., $100,000) to achieve the additional affordability. Waiving the pro-rata portion of development fees for a single unit would likely yield $10-20,000 thousand dollars—not enough to sufficiently offset the developer's loss to achieve additional affordability on its own. Waiving fees for the affordable units in developments with 5-10 affordable units, ar waiving all fees for all units in the development up to a given maximum, could potentially yield$50,000-$100,00. This could be more effective in negotiating the additional affordability with a developer for an additional unit, deeper affordability, or the difference between a 1-bedroom and a 2-bedroom (or a 3-bedroom and a 2-bedroom) affordable unit. Examples: Using Building Permit fees as examples, the following are all of Lexington's current Building Permit and related fees: Building Permit Fees: Valuation shall be the estimated value of construction as determined by the Building Commissioner. Town, County, State or Federal buildings are exempt from fees. Buildin�permit fees, Multi-family $15 per$1,000 of the value of construction as determined by the Building Commissioner. Multi-family Sheet metal&Mechanical permit fees,Multi-family $15 per$1,000 Plumbing and Gas permit Fees, Multi-family $150 for the first Fixture plus$15 for each additional fixture 1 Electrical Permit Fees(all� $25 per$1,000 value of wark Assume construction cost per unit is $700,000. Pro-rated Building Permit fee for that unit= $10,500. Assume construction cost per 5 units is $3,500,000. Building permit fee is $52,500 Assume construction cost per 30 units is $21,000,000. Building permit fee is $315,000, but the maximum waived would be limited to $100,000. The fee-waiver is essentially a subsidy the Town would contribute by foregoing a portion of the Building Permit fee revenue on a multi-family development to increase the development's affordable housing component. The resulting increased affordability would be recorded in the deed-restriction. As the Affordable Housing Trust engages with developers who are preparing to submit applications for multi-family housing developments, either through Special Residential Developments or MBTA Overlay districts, a Select Board policy of buy-downs through fee waivers could make a meaningful difference. 2 Affordable Housing Trust Program Buy-downs for more Housing Affordability Adopted by vote of the Lexington Affordable Housing Trust September 28, 2023 The Lexington Affordable Housing Trust partners with developers to achieve more affordability in their projects when either affordable units, or a payment in-lieu of units, are required,such as in the new MBTA Multi-family developments and Special Residential Developments (SRD). With funds from the Lexington Affordable Housing Trust, interested builders can construct additional deed-restricted units in Lexington, or turn one of their required affordable units into a home available to a very low or extremely low income renter. The Housing Trust funds can be used to 1) subsidize one or more additional Subsidized Housing units,or 2) to buy-down the subsidy of a required Subsidized Housing Unit in order for it to be affordable to a tenant or buyer earning 50%("very low income")or 60%of area median income. The Housing Trust begins by negotiating an agreement with an interested developer who seeks to use the MBTA Multi-family zoning, before the developer's Planning Board Site Plan Review hearing. For projects of 8 or more units, Lexington's MBTA Multi-family zoning requires affordable units at 80% of Area Median Income (AMI). With funding from this program,the developer could create an affordable housing unit rather than simply make a payment to meet this requirement.The program could also make an affordable unit in a larger MBTA Multi-family development affordable to renters earning less than 80%AMI—the upper limit for inclusion on the SHI. For SRD developments, in addition to deepening the subsidy for lower-income residents,this program could create a unit in SRDs of 6 or fewer units,which are otherwise allowed to make a payment in lieu of creating units. Process:The Affordable Housing Trust is notified by Town staff when a developer is preparing to apply, or has applied for Site Plan Review with Planning Board.The Housing Trust Chair and/or a Trust member designee, staff, and the RHSO (and Town Counsel as needed)seeks a meeting with the developer to discuss the possibility of using this program,and informing the developer of the requirement of a permanent deed restriction on the unit. Once discussions reach an agreement in principle,Town Counsel drafts the agreements and the Town and the developer determine the timing and necessary terms for the conveyance of the funds and executing and recording the deed restriction. 1 AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON SELECT SOARD MEETING AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Select Board Work Session- Discuss Proposed Updates to Alcohol Policy for Restaurants PRESENTER: ITEM NUMBER: Sandhya Iyer, Director of Economic Development I.3 SUMMARY Category: Brainstorming *Public coininents will not be taken for this itein as it is a work session topic.

IV.BACKGROUND The Town of Lexington, by a vote of its citizens, had earlier established alcoholic beverage licenses for restaurants with a minimum seating capacity of 99. In 2002, the Lexington Center Committee began to discuss ways to attract more businesses to the commercial district. They found that surrounding communities such as Arlington and Waltham had revitalized their commercial areas by attracting smaller chef-owned restaurants. The ability to sell alcohol made these testaurants economically viable. Town Meeting passed a home rule petition seeking to eliminate the 99-seat minimuin seating capacity. That petition was approved by the Legislature and then overwhelmingly approved by the citizens on March 2, 2004 by a vote of 7022 to 1224. V.

The Select Board is responsible for setting the age and income criteria for participation,the wage rate, and the maximum credit allowed. Under current guidelines,the program is open to persons aged 60 and older with household income up to$90,000.The maximum reduction that may be earned is $1,755 per household per year, representing 130 hours at$13.50 per hour. We are asking the Select Board to approve a dollar amount increase from $13.50 per hour to$15.00 per hour, as that is the current rate for minimum wage. The program is valuable to the Lexington community as it allows residents to give back to the community, reduce property tax bills, age in place, and remain in their homes.

Lexington Public Schools Big Backyard Program Trainer&Coordinator for Estabrook School 2017-present Walk leader 2014-present Big Bacl<yard is an extension of the LPS grades K-5 science curriculum, with wall< content based on grade level standards set by the school district, but reliant on parent volunteers to lead three seasonal "wall<s" per year. As coordinator, I collaborate with school administration and 25 teachers in scheduling and logistics. I support volunteer walk leader recruitment by drafting emails and creating volunteer signups teachers send to parents, and answer parents' follow up questions. I promote the program at school events and through social media. I prepare wall<materials and supplies unique to each grade level, and communicate regularly with the District-level staff. Removing barriers to parent volunteering has been an ongoing focus for me. Because of my professional background, I additionally participate in a small group with district staff working on new walk curricula. In my role as program trainer, I lead training sessions specific to each grade-level, seasonal walk to prepare our volunteers.These trainings also include an overview of the program pedagogy. I additionally have been volunteering as a walk leader since my older child entered kindergarten in 2014.

My research process included due diligence calls with state and local government leaders including town managers, mayors and governors. I was also a member of the Finance Committee when I was a resident of Concord. While at Fidelity, I also interviewed over z50 candidates for highly selective and competitive jobs in asset management. I am involved in the community as a Co-President of the Estabrook PTO and as President of the Paint Rock Pool Corp, which are both volunteer positions. Also, as a person in my 30's (barely!)

In 2019 the Select Board approved a two-year use of the parklet(for 2019-20) on Massachusetts Avenue. In the past the Parklet was placed on the S W side of Massachusetts Avenue and the Town Manager recommends continuing to place it on that side of Massachusetts Avenue due to the narrow sidewalks. The other side of Massachusetts Avenue has wide sidewalks which are more conducive to sidewalk cafes. The 2019 vote (attached) authorized the Town Manager to approve the fmal location and to inform the Select Board of any substantive changes. Dave Pinsonneault met with the Center Committee on 5/9/24 and is loolcing at the general area of 1806 Massachusetts Avenue, but ultimately we may choose to place it somewhere else along that side of Mass. Ave. SUGGESTED MOTION: Move to to authorize the installation of the Massachusetts Avenue Parklet from first week in May through end of October for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025) in two parking spaces on the Southwest side of Massachusetts Avenue and to authorize the Town Manager to review and approve the final location and notify the Select Board of any substantive changes.

Approve Lexington Police Su�erior Officers, IBPO, Loca1 501 Collective Bar a� inin�Contract Ms. Bai-�y was recused from this item as her husband is employed by the Lexington Police Deparhnent. Mr. Lucente assuined the role of chair. Mr. Malloy asked the Board to consider approval of two MOUs for Loca1501, one for FY17-19 (the 3 years in arrears) and the second for FY20-22. Both are consistent with the Board's previous review and approval. Upon motion duly inade and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 4-0 to approve the FY17- 19 MOU between the Town of Lexington and the Intei�ational Brotherhood of Police Officers, Loca1501.

Keno-to-Go Wicked Convenience 195 Massachusetts Avenue Ms. Bai-�y resumed the role of Chair. The Board has been asked by the Massachusetts Lottery Colmnission to comment if to any objection it might have to the application of Wicked Convenience, 195 Mass Ave to sell KENO- to-Go. KENO screens are not a part of this program. It was noted that no other establishment in Lexington has KENO-to-Go, although several others have either KENO screen licenses and/or KENO scratch tickets. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Board voted 5-0 not to object to Wicked Convenience, 195 Mass Avenue, selling KENO-to-Go and to authorize the Chair to send a letter to the Massachusetts Lottery Commission stating the Board's position. Page 2 of 5 Approve Parklet in the Vicinitv of 1720 Massachusetts Avenue Ms. Hai said she is in favor of approving the parklet for longer than is being asked. Mr. Lucente said he is fine with approving the parklet for the two years as requested but expressed caution about extending the length of the approval due to anticipated construction in the Center and the potential turnover of businesses that might make another location preferable in the future. Mr. Sandeen said he would welcome additional parklet sites in the Center. Mr. Pato said he believes approval for the parklet can be delegated to the Town Manager unless there is a substantive change. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to authorize the installation of the Massachusetts Avenue Parklet from first week in May through end of October for two sequential years (2019 and 2020)in two parking spaces in the vicinity of 1720 Massachusetts Avenue and to authorize the Town Managet to review and approve the final location and notify the Board of Selectmen of any substantive changes. 2019 Annual Town Meetin� • Article Discussion and Article Positions The Selectmen reviewed their positions. The resulting chart is appended to these minutes. After discussion,petitioner Riclu Pappo, Lexington G1oba1 Warming Action Coalition, said she would be willing to indefinitely postpone Article 9 Sustainability Director due to Mr. Malloy's willingness to explore creation of a Sustainability Director/Coordinator position. David Kanter, Precinct 7 Town Meeting member, said if the article is inde�'initely postponed, he is comfortable withdrawing his intention to offer a substitute motion on the article. Dan Voss, Sustainable Lexington, said he has faith in the Town Manager to carry out this work without the direction of Town Meeting. • Update on Article 38 - Amend Zoning Bylaw and Zoning Map, 186 Bedford Street Elements of the mixed-use project at 186 Bedford Street were reviewed: dumpster location, number of parking spaces, number of units, revenue to the Town, improvements to Garfield Park, LEED standard design and construction, likelihood of few or no school age children, affordable housing units, trees, electric vehicle charging stations, and the potential to use the barn as a community meeting/gathering space.
