The applicant team included: Jay Doherty, Quinlan Locke, Nick Dellacava, Ian Ramey, Steve Prestejohn, and Allie Sullivan. Mr. Doherty from Cabot, Cabot and Forbes (CCF) shared a graph which showed the historical and forecasted housing production and rent growth, stated that rents have been rising at about 3.4% which was significantly higher than the average inflation, and gave an overview of the rising cost of construction and its impact on housing production. Mr. Doherty said that it typically takes five years from start to occupancy for projects of this size. Mr. Locke, project manager from CCF, gave a brief overview of the project and gave details of the meetings with Planning staff and the abutters. Mr. Dellacava, project engineer from Allen & Major Associates, Inc, shared the existing conditions survey, site plan, grading and drainage plan, and utilities plan and gave details about the proposed project. Mr. Dellacava explained there is shallow bedrock and ledge on the property. One curb cut is proposed and closing of two of the existing curb cuts. Parking spaces are proposed in the front for the commercial use, a rideshare drop off pick up area in the front with a loop to cars to turn around, garage entry in the rear of the new building, three loading zones and trash/recycling enclosures, a children’s play area, an outdoor bike storage area, and emergency fire access loops around the building. Underground infiltration and detention basis are proposed for stormwater management. All stormwater will be recharged and infiltrated. They intend to file an RDA with the Conservation Commission. Mr. Ramey, the landscape architect with Copley Wolf, shared the landscape plan, proposed site features, proposed site planting plan, and tree plan, and explained in detail. Mr. Ramey explained the two mature trees at the front of the property will be preserved. The project proposes plantings between the terraced retaining walls, evergreen plantings along the Minuteman village, a lot of the vegetation in the back will be untouched, and an accessible play area, but understands staff also recommended the play area be relocated and they are looking into that. All proposed trees will be native, some stones will be reused on site for tree protections, and tree grates will be provided. Mr. Prestejohn, the architect from CUBE 3, gave an overview of the design approach and went over the constraints due to ledge and grading. Mr. Prestejohn presented the four-story building in three segments that slope back with the grading of the land. Mr. Prestejohn also went over the floor plans, side section view, and elevations in detail. Staff Comments Lexington Planning Board Meeting Minutes July 31, 2024 Page 3 of 11 Ms. McCabe reminded the Board that the application was filed under the original 2023 Zoning for MBTA Communities and that the property was subject to a zoning freeze making the zoning amendments that were subsequently made to regulate the height of the building in relation to the area of commercial space not apply. Ms. McCabe also reminded everyone that this was a site plan review application and if the project complies with the Zoning bylaw, the Planning Board cannot legally deny the project and also that the applicant has to file with the Conservation Commission. Ms. McCabe also went over the three waivers that were requested by the applicant which were for parking in front of the building, to allow some of the bike parking spaces to be lifted and not all ground-mounted, and relief from the 2-ft. by 6-ft. bike parking space. Ms. McCabe summarized the staff comments outlined in the staff memo from Ms. Page, which included a request to unbundle the parking spaces from the unit rents, support for the 1:3 parking ratio, and asked for more details on the tree removal analysis to confirm the requirements of the Tree Bylaw are met. Ms. Barrett, Transportation Manager, added that she recommends a bus shelter on Concord Avenue, that there were opportunities here such as with the 128 Business Council Shuttle that goes to Alewife, and said that the applicant had reached out to her to come up with solutions to enhance transit services and they will be meeting with her soon to discuss further. Peer Reviewer’s Comments Mike Carter from GCG Associates gave a brief summary of the findings of the peer review conducted by him to review the stormwater and sewer plans submitted by the applicant. Mr. Carter informed the Board that there were a few technical items that have to be addressed by the applicant and there were no major issues that had to be dealt with, but they requested some plan updates and updated documentation. He also noted that the sight visibility should be checked on Concord Avenue. Board Questions Mr. Creech wanted clarification on Mr. Carter’s report regarding the stormwater maintenance plan. Mr. Carter provided the details. His concern had to do with the ability to access equipment that would be located underground. Mr. Carter replied that this is TBD at a later stage of design. Mr. Hornig asked the applicant if he would be able to address the issues brought out by staff and the peer reviewer. Mr. Locke responded saying that all the issues put forth by staff and the peer reviewer are addressable and they will work on it. Mr. Peters asked Mr. Doherty about the experience he had in communities that had to set aside more than 15% of the construction for inclusionary housing. Mr. Doherty responded that in Wakefield they had dealt with 18% inclusionary housing but that anything over 15% is challenging. Mr. Peters asked Mr. Locke about the mitigation plan for ledge removal and blasting on the site. Mr. Locke responded that they are working with consultants to come up with a noise and vibration monitoring plan that would comply with Lexington’s noise bylaws. Mr. Peters stated that the preference of the Board is not to have parking in front of the building other than short term parking and asked if the applicant has explored other options. Mr. Doherty stated that the parking in front was for retail customers. Mr. Locke added that with the Lexington Planning Board Meeting Minutes July 31, 2024 Page 4 of 11 topography of the site, it would be difficult to put parking in different areas on the site, especially with regards to ADA accessibility regulations. Mr. Peters also wanted to know what type of retail uses the applicant was planning to look for. Mr. Doherty responded that it was too early to predict the type of business. Ms. Thompson asked the applicant about their experience in their other buildings with just one way in and one way out for the entire complex. Mr. Locke said that it depends on the site and the ledge conditions and grading play a role in this particular site. Ms. Thompson also wanted to know the access points for buildings, especially the ones that are located in the interiors of the buildings. Mr. Prestejohn explained the means to access them from the lobby. Ms. Thompson also wanted to know the location of inclusionary units in the building. Mr. Locke shared the plans which showed the locations of inclusionary housing units in the building. Ms. Thompson also mentioned that the applicant can find space for bike storage instead of applying for the bike waiver. Mr. Locke informed Ms. Thompson that they are working with the bicycle advisory committee to arrive at solutions. Mr. Creech asked for security cameras on site, relocation of the play area, and fencing around the site other than vinyl fencing. He suggested non-vinyl fencing that would be low maintenance. Mr. Creech also wanted details of the base ground material for snow storage. Mr. Ramey responded that it will be a lawn of some sorts that would be irrigated. Mr. Creech also wanted details on the modular blocks on the retaining walls in the front of the property. Mr. Ramey gave the details of the retaining walls and stated that it would give superior engineering performance due to the engineered wall and would also be aesthetically pleasing. Mr. Creech also asked for perspective renderings of the building from different directions including from the April Lane side of the property. Mr. Schanbacher agreed with Mr. Peters that it is important to know the details of the type of prospective retail tenants. He also agreed with Mr. Peters on not favoring parking in the front of the building. Mr. Schanbacher also wanted to know if the HVAC equipment will be on the roof and if it will be properly screened. Mr. Schanbacher also wanted details of trash handling inside the building. Mr. Prestejohn explained the trash handling in detail. Mr. Creech wanted to know the frequency of trash pickup due to the size of the building. Ms. Sullivan from CC&F gave details of the typical frequency. Public Comments Barbara Katzenberg, 37 Moon Hill Road, favored having rental housing in Lexington, was happy that noise and vibration consultants will be involved in the project, and asked for a third-party surveying company for conducting pre-blasting surveys. Jay Luker, 26 Ridge Avenue, voiced his support for the development and felt that multi-family housing such as this project represents progress towards the Town’s sustainability and diversity goals. Bob Pressman, 22 Locust Avenue, wanted details of locations where ledge would be removed and also the volume of ledge that had to be blasted. Lexington Planning Board Meeting Minutes July 31, 2024 Page 5 of 11 Tom Shiple, on behalf of the Lexington Bicycle advisory committee, appreciated the applicant’s willingness to collaborate with the bicycle advisory committee to come up with solutions for bikers. Kunal Botla, Chair, Transportation Advisory Committee, highlighted the committee’s recommendation for placement of an enclosed accessible bus shelter which will be a valuable resource for the neighborhood. Steve Heinrich, Town Meeting member Precinct 3, felt that this was not an appropriate project for this area and said the project will worsen the existing traffic situation in the neighborhood. Jeanne Kreiger, 44 Webster Road, asked the Board and the staff if a traffic study would have been required if the proposal were a Planned Development instead of the Village Overlay. Rena Maliszewski, 310 Concord Avenue, asked for a traffic study during the regular school year, a winter view of the development, and for the commercial component of the development to be eliminated. Mihir Shah, 3 Blossom Street, wanted to know if the Planning Board had done a study on the economic impact of such a development. Arleen Chase, on behalf of Temple Emunah, expressed her concern for the children in their preschool, asked for a robust wall to be built for their safety, and also was concerned about traffic and blasting noise. Eric Ordoukhanian, 26 April Lane, expressed his concern about traffic and trash and delivery handling. Sharon Levin, opposed the scale of the property and asked to include Pleasant Street and Spring Street in the traffic study Mike Germanetto, 291 Concord Avenue, expressed his concerns about the traffic during construction and the safety of cyclists and school children. Mark Stump, 151 Pleasant Street, reiterated the traffic concerns of previous speakers and stated that the development is not near any public transit. John Elander, 304 Concord Avenue, expressed his concern regarding flooding and noise pollution that would become worse due to the proposal. Mr. Shiple, 18 Phinney Road, speaking for himself expressed his support for the project since he felt that this development will provide much required rental units for Lexington and asked the applicant to provide composting and recycling services to the occupants of the development. Mr. Botla, 40 Grapevine Avenue, speaking for himself, stated that developments such as this will help with the State’s housing shortage, regardless of the limiting factors and voiced his support for the project. Mr. Ordoukhanian stated that there is flooding during heavy rains and asked for details of emergency vehicle access. Lexington Planning Board Meeting Minutes July 31, 2024 Page 6 of 11 Ms. Maliszewski stated that she supports affordable housing but was concerned about the scale and aesthetic of the development and asked the applicant for the forecasted average rental price for the proposed units. Mark Terzian, 28 Webster Road, expressed his concern regarding the size of the project and traffic issues and asked for details about the location of the school bus stop. Staff Comments Ms. McCabe explained the process and basis of how the affordable units will be allocated and that this project was eligible for some local preference for Lexington residents for the inclusionary dwelling units. Ms. McCabe also explained that since the MBTA Communities law did not permit discretionary approval or requiring off-site improvements, submission of a traffic study was not required by the Zoning Bylaw or the Planning Board. With regards to questions related to stormwater runoff, Ms. McCabe said that the peer review report is reviewing the project for compliance for Stormwater and Conservation Regulations. Board Comments Mr. Creech asked the applicant to explain the trash handling process for commercial tenants. Mr. Locke said usually there will be a trash room within their commercial space that would be picked up by property management and he would provide more details before the next meeting. Mr. Creech also inquired to the nature of the noise that would accompany trash pickup. The answer was that it would be somewhat noisy so Mr. Creech wanted fencing that would deal with metal on metal noise. Mr. Peters stated that though a traffic study would not be mandatory, it would be helpful to the applicant and for the Town to plan and execute any roadway infrastructure improvements that may be required. Mr. Peters said that he supported Mr. Shiple’s comments to provide recycling and composting services to tenants. Mr. Schanbacher asked the applicant to revise the site plan in such a way that the infrastructure serves the tenants and provides utility value. Mr. Schanbacher also asked the applicant to provide more details of the courtyards. Mr. Schanbacher said that he too does not support surface parking in the front of the building, as the idea is to promote transit friendly communities. Mr. Schanbacher also asked the applicant to provide a shadow study depicting the extent of shadow produced by the building. Mr. Schanbacher encouraged the applicant to come up with a design that articulates the façade a little more, with some exterior porches. Mr. Creech moved to continue the public hearing for the site plan review application at 331 Concord Avenue to Wednesday, August 28 at or after 6:00 pm on Zoom. Ms. Thompson seconded the motion. The Planning Board voted in favor of the motion 5-0-0 (Roll call: Creech – yes; Peters – yes; Schanbacher – yes; Thompson – yes; Hornig – yes).

The proposal is to amend the 2010 Definitive Subdivision approval to modify the subsurface drainage structure location and the hammerhead turnaround area. Mr. Peters informed the Board that though he was absent for the hearing on June 26th, when this agenda item was last discussed, he has reviewed the tape of the meeting and meeting materials, filed the certification form, and that he will be participating on this matter today. The applicant was represented by his attorney Fred Gilgun. Mr. Gilgun acknowledged to the Board that the applicant has not submitted sufficient supporting information related to Stormwater and Conservation. The applicant’s engineer, Michael Novak, shared the site plan and went over the details of the proposed turnaround expansion and the revisions he had made to accommodate comments from Staff from Planning and Fire Department. Mr. Novak compared the approved plans from 2013 to the ones he had created now and explained the specification of the turnaround analysis. Board Comments Mr. Hornig wanted details of snow storage locations on the plan and asked Mr. Novak to show it in the final plan. Mr. Hornig also asked for a swept path analysis for a typical box truck. Mr. Hornig also asked the applicant for a revised drainage analysis which will comply with requirements of all concerned departments. Mr. Creech wanted clarifications on the site plans and the turnaround dimensions. Ms. Thompson also asked for a revised turnaround analysis and also a detailed comparison of the old and new turnaround analysis. Mr. Schanbacher asked the applicant if he planned to reduce the size of the previous easement and Mr. Gilgun explained that the applicant would want to modify the easement to make it consistent with what would be as built. Mr. Schanbacher asked the applicant to consider contributing to the affordable housing trust to make up for the difference in easements. Mr. Creech agreed with Mr. Schanbacher’s suggestion. Mr. Hornig said that the functionality of the turnaround and stormwater requirements are more important for him. Mr. Schanbacher clarified that the functionality of the turnaround and compliance with stormwater requirements are not negotiable for him and the contribution would be in addition to compliance with the requirements.
