Chairman Cole, Messrs. Burnell, Cataldo and Sheldon were present. Mr. Legro, Town Counsel, Mr. Gray, Executive Assistant, Mr. Carroll, Superintendent of Public Works, and Miss Murray, Executive Clerk, were also present. Hearing was declared open upon petition of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company for per- mission to locate underground conduit and manholes in Massachusetts Avenue. Notices of the hearing were mailed to the peti- tioner, owners of the property as listed on the peti- tioner' s plan and also filed with the Superintendent Conduit of Public Works . hearing Mr. Robert Dunn, representing the petitioner, explained the petition is for conduit along Massa- chusetts Avenue from Marrett Road to Woburn Street. 111 He advised the reason for this at this time is, later on he believed the street will be resurfaced under Chapter 90. This conduit will not have to be disturbed for twenty-five years and it is planned to go on the side- walk all the way. Mr. Cataldo asked if anything wasgoing on private property and Mr. Dunn replied in the negative. He stated it will all be in the street, the public way, and none of it will be on private property. The Chairman said no private property is involved, and Mr. Dunn stated it is all in the public way. Mr Mr. Joseph S. Broussard, 1358 Massachusetts Avenue, said he had no objection but when the sewer was put in Percy Road, it was not going to be on private property but it took several years to get the property back in shape. The lawn was ruined and the sidewalk never put back. The Chairman read a letter from Victor A. and Gabrielle E. Lewinson, 1 Hunt Road, stating they would like to be assured their property will not be injured by the work, or will be returned to its present condition after the work; otherwise, they had no objection. Mr. E. Arnold Nelson, 1387 Massachusetts Avenue, said when any promise is made to restore the property or a street to its original condition, if it were kept, dverything 114rl am would be find. He said ten years ago when the telephone company tore up Massachusetts Avenue past his place, that section of Massachusetts Avenue was never restored for years. He said it seemed to him whether the telephone company, the town, or anyone else tears up the street, it should be replaced. Last winter was particularly bad on Wood Street, Waltham Street and the contractor never put it back in place again. He said he wished there was some way &to get the contractors to put the streets back in their original condition. The Chairman explained Massachusetts Avenue is going to be resurfaced, so it will be in the same condition it is below Marrett Road. Prior to doing this, the Town notifies all utility companies to get 'anything they want done before the street is resurfaced. Mr. Nelson asked how long the street would be torn up. Mr. Dunn replied the entire street will not be torn up at once. As soon as the contractor places so many feet of conduit, he will backfill. He said the entire job would last from six weeks to two months . The Chairman explained no one individual would be inconvenienced for six weeks, but only for the time it takes to go past his property. Mr.Hawley K. Rising, 1430 Massachusetts Avenue, asked on which aide of the street the work would be done, and Mr. Dunn replied the northerly side. Mr. Rising asked howI close this work would coincide to the resurfacing. Mr. Carroll stated bids would go out about the middle of August or the first of September. Mr. Dunn said the telephone company would be out of there by then. The hearing was declared closed at 7:43 P.M. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to grant the petition and sign the order for the follow- ing conduit and manhole locations: Massachusetts Avenue: From M.H. 54/20 northwesterly, northerly, northwesterly, then westerly, approxi- mately forty seven hundred and twenty (4720) feet of underground conduit; also five manholes. Massachusetts Avenue: From new manhole 54/8B, westerly, then southerly, approximately eighty-nine ( 89) feet of underground conduit. Massachusetts Avenue: From new mahole 54/11A, south- westerly, approximately thirty seven ( 37) feet of underground conduit 15 Massachusetts Avenue: From new manhole 54/17A, south- westerly, approximately thirty-six (36) feet of underground conduit. Mr. Gray reported receipt of a bill, in the amount of $4,000 received from William A. Halsey, architect for Architect' e the Public Works Building, for professional services to bill June 3, 1966. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to authorize payment of $4,000 to William A. Halsey for professional services to June 3, 1966. Mr. Gray reported he had contacted the Building In- spector today and asked what an inspeettbon be made of the Goodwin property located on Bartlett Avenue. He ex- Goodwin plained this was on the barn that is supposed to be in barn poor condition. A report will be available for the next meeting of the Board. Mr. Robert Wilson, 33 Bartlett Avenue, said there was a fire on Mr. Goodwin' s property three years ago and this barn was partially destroyed. He has done nothing since that time and it is supported by makeshift barrels . He said this is a permanent danger to his children. The Chairman said the building is being investi- gated by the Building Inspector and a report will be sub- mitted to the Board next week. Mr. Wilson said the other complaint is about junk cars and that is being taken care of. He said this is a danger to his children and anyone else in the neigh- borhood. Mr. Carroll said the law permits the Superintendent of Public Works to remove cars from public or private ways if he thinks the cost of moving them is greater than the value of the car, and also from private property if there is a request from the owner. He said his approach has been if he goes into the business of moving cars which have been put there by the person who owns the property, the Town may find itself in trouble He said what might happen is some boy will be buying cars, stripping them and then asking the Town to take the cars to the dump. He explained the Town cannot go onto Mr. Goodwin' s pro- * Mr. Sheldon asked if the owner could be requested to abate this nuisance if it is a nuisance. Mr. Legro advised a petition has been prepared, is ready for the Building Inspector' s signature and will be ready this week for the Superior Court and he thought much of this discussion was mute. *perty unless he asks it to and even then he did not think the Town should move the cars. 116ac cr) It Mr. Carroll referred to the sewer main, Winter Street trunk sewer, and said it is necessary to go across the Armory property on Bedford Street. He wrote to the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts Adjutant General' s office and asked for the right or permit to go across the property. He received a reply to his letter stating he had no statutory authority and suggested that the Town Counsel prepare and file special legislation. Mr. Carroll ,said he was asking the Board to ask its Representative if he would petition the Legislature to accept a late filed bill to have the Armory grant the Town this easement. The Chairman said if legislation goes through and is opposed, it would have serious effect. Mr. Legro said the letter came from Major General Ambrose. The Chairman said there have been many late filed bills this year; all of them submitted and many have gone through. He reported, as a Representative, he did oppose the National Guard this week. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to direct Town Counsel to prepare the necessary legis- lation to authorize the Town of Lexington to locate a sewer main through property of the National Guard Armory, 459 Bedford Street, Lexington. The Chairman said he would file it Mr. Carroll submitted a color chart for the Board' s Chair color use in selecting a color for thechairs to be purchased for cary Memorial Hall. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to use the color combination recommended by Mr. Carroll, bronze and mocha. Mr. Sheldon said he thought the sign on Waltham Street indicating parking is supposed to point out the new entrance to the parking area, and he did not think Parking it adequate. People have mentioned this to him and he has been watching it. He stated he thought a stranger coming into Town might be a little confused. Mr. Sheldon said he was not bringing the subject to the Board' s at- tention as a complaint, but would like to suggest that a study be made. Mr. Burnell said this was the result of a study. Mr. Carroll said he would take a look at it. Mr. Ralph DiNunzio, 91 Pleasant Street, and a large group of residents from the area of Bowman Park, met with the Board. Mr. James E. Storer, 69 Pleasant Street, Chairman of the Committee for the Preservation of Bowman dark, with reference to Route 2, said an alternate plan had 117 been submitted by the Peacock Farm Group. He said he would like a statement as to the Board' s position on these proposals. The Chairman said Mr. Carroll, Town Engineer and Superintendent of Public Works, would explain the second proposal as there may be some misunderstanding. He said, to his knowledge, the slip ramp will not do anything differ- ent to the traffic. Mr. Carroll said the title of the committee would indicate to him the slip ramp is not the question. Mr. DiNunzio said they are not only opposed to the traffic problem, they are ppposed to any land taking on that stretch of Pleasant Street. Mr. Cataldo pointed out that regardless of what happens at Peacock Farms, it will have no bearing on this. Mr. Storer asked what action the Planning Boad and Board of Selectmen had taken. The Chairman replied, with reference to the slip ramp, the Board would give it approval as it stands and he thought the Conservation Commission had also approved it. Mr. Carroll, by use of a map placed on the wall, ex- plained the interchange proposed by the State, and stated the Town became involved because of the fact it wanted to find a good solution to what to do with the end of Worthen Road. He explained one of the proposals made to the State regarding the extension of Worthen Road and traced it on the plan. He informed the group that the State, for various reasons, turned this down for engineering and financial pur- poses At that time, the State suggested a proposal for the Town' s 1prpblexq pf Worthen Road which he also traced on the plan. He explained that, out of the Peacock Farm problem came a plan which is a slip ramp which does not go around the hill. The turn of traffic coming from Belmont going west on Route 2 is eliminated. He said he thought both Boards feel something has to be done to solve the problem of what to do with the end of Worthen Road. This plan involves reconstruction of a section of Watertown Street and a section of Pleasant Street. Mr. Storer, with reference to Bowman Park, said one of the beauties of the vicinity will be wiped out . Mr. Carroll explained this is merely a preliminary plan at 100 scale and it is not a designed plan. Mr. Storer said he was an engineer and to him it reads there will be some terrific land takings. Mr. Carroll said, certainly; there will be a connection between Pleasant Street and Watertown Street. There would be some minor ramp work through a portion of Bowman Park. Mr. Storer asked how Mr. Carroll felt knowing that Bowman Park was given to the Town. The Chairman replied Mr Carroll is the Town Engineer 118 and the Selectmen are the policy making Board. He said at this moment, the loop plan is still the one opposed by the Department of Public Works, and the Bureau of Natural Resources is reviewing the plan, but whether it would have any effect on the Department of Public Works, is another question. Mr. Storer asked what the Boat and Planning Board had done officially in respect to this proposal. The Chairman replied the Selectmen are in favor of the slip ramp proposal, and this is also the Planning Boardls position. He said he understood the Chairman of the Plan - ning Board, as an individual, has written a letter stating he is going along with the loop plan. Mr Storer said these is rx:thing in this plan which suggests that the bottleneck witll.be removed. He said several years ago, Emerson Road w&.s studied and engineered and asked what reasons have come up since then to remove Emerson Road from the Town planning. The Chairman replied if there is any reason at all, it has been the Town Meeting refusing to vote for the segments of Emerson Road. Mr. Carroll explained that when Worthen Road was con- ceived, Route 2 was not a limited access road. Early in 1950 when the road was originally conceived, the Board of Selectmen contacted the State Department of Public Works and said it would like an interchange to take Worthen Road directly onto Route 2. The State would go along with that if the Town built the road immediately. The Board, at that time, felt the amount of money involved was too much to akk the Town to spend. Mr. Storer said he must admit the attitude he got from the State was not that it objected or approved, but there was no justification in them considering it until Worthen Road became a reality. It was useless to dis- cuss the issue until Worthen Road was worked out. Mr. Carroll said the State said the Town would hage to pay something like $700,000. He said the letter did not say absolutely no, but did say the Town would have to pay $700,000. The engineer did not like the design and had many objections, there were all kinds of grade problems. He said each time he talked about Worthen Road, they said Worthen Road did not exist. Mr. Cataldo said the Board of Selectmen has spent many hours, months, on this very thing, and this is the first time the people in the area have come forth. He said this has been written up in the Lexington Minute-man and there have been many meetings with the Department of Public Works. He said every group that comes in says it has talked with the Deprtment of Public Works and if this group would give the Board the names of the individuals 11. 9 it had talked to, the Board would sit down with them. One of the men present said they had talked to Sargent, Brown and Gardner who said they did not want to go along with the proposal of the Planning Board of Worthen Road coming into Pleasant Street, or widening Pleasant Street. He said he talked to Commissioner Sargent about Worthen Road and he said there was no point in arguing because it did not exist. He said this is the impression he got. Mr. Cataldo explained that regardless of what happens at the slip ramp, the Board wants to solve the entire problem now; it wants to construct Pleasant Street and Watertown Street regardless of what happens, including Worthen Road. Mr. Carroll said the estimited cost isroughly $238,000. He said he did not know whether the Town will pay, the State( pay a portion or not ; this is something that would have to be worked out. The Chairman said all the meetings have been public; no closed meetings were held and all have been reported by the press. He said the people in the Peacock Farms area approached the Board. He said he could understand the peoples' concern but he would appreciate it if they would not accuse the Boats of clandestine meetings. Mr. Carroll explained the estimate of $238,000 in- cluded taking one house. Mr. Brook said the group had assisted in electing The Board and he would feel happy if, as their representa- tives, the Board would let them know certain things were being talked about. The Chairman explained this has been a problem for some time, and Mr. Brock, as an individual, has known the problem of Rate2existed. Mr. Brook said at no time did he hear anything about Bowman Park. The Chairman said this was recent; in fact, just the past month. He emphasized this is a preliminary proposal and may not be the solution to Worthen Road. Mr Brook said most of the people are going to see that it %tll not come to fruition. Mr. Cataldo pointed out that the discussion is about two separate problems. He said the Board of Selectmen was asked by the State if it would consider the semicircle as a possible solution to Worthen Road and this had nothing to do with the slip ramp. Mr. Storer asked if this was an approved plan or not . TheChairman replied an approved plan is one finally acceptable to all parties concerned. This is a prelimi- nary concept. Mr. Storer said widening the street will not solve the traffic and even widening the circle will not solve the problem. 120 ['S The Chairman said he did not want anyone to leave the meeting with the idea this is a proposal that will be a remedy. At the moment the slip ramp only iv what the Board has approached the State Department of Public Works with. He said the Board of Selectmen is not a Planning Board. He said he did not want anyone to think the plan on the wail is what is going to happen. Following further questions, answers and a variety of comments, the Chairman stated the Board had created a Route 3 Committee when Route 3 was a problem which continued on Route 2, and he did not think Mr. Cataido, Chairman of that Committee, would have any objection if the Bowman Park group wanted to work with this committee and keep up with whatever changes are made. Mr Storer said he would definitely be in contact with Mr. Cataldo. The group retired at 9:25 P.M. Chief James F. Corr met with the Board. The Chairman read the list of patrolmen eligible for promotion to Sergeant, and upon recommendation of Chief Sergeants Corr, it was unanimously voted to appoint Lloyd L. appointed Faulkingham, Jr. , John P. Costello and George W. Porten, the three top men on the list, to position of Sergeant ef- fective Friday, June 10, 1966. Chief Corr retired at 9:33 P.M. The Chairman said the Peacock Farm group has requested Mr. Carroll to meet with it when the group meets with the State regarding Route 2. The Board had no objection. The Chairman read a letter from the Board of Health Cummings advising that Mr. Cummings has discontinued distribution of milk in Lexington, due to the fact he has sold his milk business to Suj.nyhurst Dairy of Stoneham. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to appoint the following individuals Special Police for terms expiring March 31, 1967, as requested by Chief Corr: SPECIAL POLICE OFFICERS - 1966-1967 Acheson, Eugene A. 2634 Massachusetts Ave. Resident Adams, Adam A. 23 Charles Street Resident Adams , Alan G. 15 Somerset Road Resident Adams, Bertram H.
