Mr. Higgins referred to bids taken last Tuesday on Sewer Contract #3 and reported that T. D. Sullivan & Son was the low bidder with a corrected figure of $128,497.50. He also reported that Whitman & Howard has checked Sullivan's equipment and financial statement Sewer and in their opinion qualified to do the job. Mr. contract Carroll recommended that the contract be awarded. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to award contract #3 for sewer construction to T. D. Sullivan & Son at the corrected bid price of $128,497.50. Mr. Higgins referred to a request received by the Board from James 0. Malcolm, 1 Hilltop Avenue, for per- mission to dump fill on a town-owned lot on Kendall Road. He reported that Mr . Carroll recommends that the request be denied for two reasons. It is a very low lot with Request to low lots abutting it, and secondlyt, there are a number dump fill of trees which would have to be cut down to enable equip- ment to get in, and to fill around them would result in tilling the other trees Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to deny the request. Mr. Higgins referred to petition received from the Boston Edison Company and the New England Telephone and Pole lo- Telegraph Company for permission to locate one pole on cation Lowell Street He reported that the proposed location tr- is in conjunction with the reconstruction of Lowell Street and the construction of a sidewalk. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to grant the petition and sign the order for the following j/o pole location: Lowell Street, westerly side, approximately 75 feet north of Laconia Street, -- One pole. (One existing j/o pole to be removed. ) Mr. Higgins referred to Mr. Spagnuolo 's appointment with the Board at 9:00 P.M. and said Mr. Spagnuolo has the development on Maple Street known as Ingleside. /There are some questions in his mind as to exactly what he can do about the removal of gravel and loam. Mr. Irwin and Mr. Carroll want down and they were not sure exactly what he should do. At the time, they thought he should see the Selectmen assa starting point. Mr. Carroll checked with Mr. Legro, own Counsel, and it was his opinion that Mr. Spagnuolo shbuld go to the Board of Appeals rather than to the Selectmen. No one has been able to contact Mr. Sp _nuolo in the meantime to give this information to him. Mr. Sheldon started what Mr Spagnuolo wants to do is not in accord with the Town By-Laws Mr. Higgins said he thought the removal of part of what he is doing is being done the way it should be done. Mr. Cataldo mentioned that Mr. Spagnuolo is doing no more than what was done at the Niles ' apartments and they did not have a permit. Mr. Higgins said it is different in a residential area where there is a house that does not cover a whole lot. Mr. Cataldo said he agreed, conditions are not good as they are. Mr. Gray reported that Mr. Spagnuolo called him and he advised him that this was a problem for the Board of Appeals, but Mr. Carroll and Mr. Irwin had told him to meet with the Board of Selectmen The Chairman said the Board would hear him tonight and then consult with Town Counsel. (Continued discussion later in meeting. ) The Chairman read a letter from Cabot, Cabot & Forbes, dated September 9, 1964, stating that the Spring Street C. C. & F. Trust has agreed to enter into an agreement with the Town water of Lexington to pay half the cost incurred in the con- Agreement struction of an 8" cast iron water main along the Frontage 371 R Road at Route 2 and Spring Street; the main to run from Station 123 = 00 to approximately Station 140 = 50, at an estimated total cost of $16,000. The Chairman said the Board approved and desired to have Mr. Carroll pursue the matter. Messrs. York, Kolovson and Mrs . Morey of the Public Facilities Building Committee, and Mr. Harry Erickson, architect, met with the Board. Mr. York submitted plans prepared by Mr Erickson. Mr. Erickson said it is intended to construct the building of masonry covered with clapboards . The roof they hope, will be wood shingle. The basement will be concrete. He indicated the facilities and stated that the building would be in keeping with the buildings in the area and very mach the same as the Hancock Clarke House. Public The Chairman asked if the Historic Districts Com- Facilities mission had approved the plans it has. Building Mr. York replied it has viewed the plans on a pre- liminary basis, but has not put on its stamp of approval. Mrs. Morey said it was on an informal basis . Mr. Cataldo asked if clapboards or aluminum would be used, and Mr. Ericksonleplied clapboards, as aluminum does not seem to fit in with the other buildings in the area. The Chairman asked if the Committee had a recommen- dation as to a final site. Mrs. Morey replied tnat she will make a minority report as she is not in agreement . Mr. Erickson indicated the selected site on the plan The Chairman asked if the committee had any idea of the cost. Mr. Erickson said they hope to stay within $40,000 The building will be 30 x 50. It will consist of a base- ment, first floor and space available in the attic. Mr. Sheldon asked if the attic would be utilized, and Mr. Erickson replied he presumed it would and that there will be stairs up to it. Mr. Erickson explained the plans to the Board and was obliged to leave the meeting as he had another com- mitment Mr. York said the committee has held a number of meetings and taken the plan to the Historic Districts Commission on an informal basis so the Commission would have the thinking of all the groups involved. The Com- mission made some very good suggestions and the plans have been changed a number of times. He said the Comb mittee has pretty much agreed on the building itself, but 372 a Mrs . Morey does not agree with the choice of locations The other four members are in accord. He indicated the location proposed by the majority and said they feel it is more centralized and in the center of activity. He said both locations could be worked out fairly well and it is a matter of choice. He stated both areas are staked out at the present time if the Board would like to view the areas. He said neither location would destroy any of the larger trees. Mr. York said that Mr. Burnell has a strong feeling that when this building is built, he would like to see the Public Works Department bard building taken out so as not to add more buildings to the Green. Mr. York said he felt the function of the committee would be to recommend the removal of the building, but it is not the Committee 's function to tell the Town what to do with the Building. Mr. Cataldo asked if the Committee planned to use the walks Mr. York replied they would have to add more to it . Mrs. Morey said she felt this is not only for the tourists but also for the Town. It is the business corner of the Green and the only busy corner. She felt it should be as near the business center as possible. She said everyone knows the Central Block will be changed, and this building would be a transition of what the Central Block will become without encumbering the Green with more buildings. She said this building should take care of the people who go downtown and don't want to have to ask the stores for permission to use their toilets. It is a town service as well as a tourist service. She said while the Park Depart- ment building is getting dilapidated, it was one of the outbuildings of the Buckman Tavern and was moved back when the Buckman Tavern was acquired in 1913, and the Historical Society feels strongly about keeping that building which might be turned into a museum. She mentioned that Town Counsel advised thatTown funds cannot be used for a museum and the Historical Society is thinking about raising funds for a museum. Mr. Brown said he agreed with Mrs. Morey and the Boards should look ahead toward the opening of the Park and the traffic involved. He said all the traffic would not park around the Battle Green area itself. Mr. Sheldon said he thought the area Mrs . Morey selected was more accessible. Mr. York said he understood the Board of Selectmen wanted to be able to see Buckman Tavern and definitely wanted the building up beyond. Mr. Brown said that was when a public facilities building only was being considered 373 Mr. Sheldon suggested that, before presenting this to a Town Meeting, it would be better to have everyone in agreement. Mrs. Morey said the question about maintenance will come up, and stated that the building will have to be supervised, but will not be large enough for a permanent custodian. The Chairman asked about the hours. Mr. York replied that the Chamber of Commerce is planning to have a full-time year around service which it does not have now. The hours should be varied with the seasons . It is felt now that the Chamber of Com- merce needs a full-time secretary. This would help during the rush of tourists. He reported 8,220 registered visitors in 1961; 8,475 in 1962; 13,925 in 1963 and 19,000 in 1964 through the month of August. Mrs. Morey stated that the back room at the left of the main door could have maps and displays to help people see just where they are and also have a few little things shown so they would know whether they wanted to visit the houses or not . The Chairman said any buildings of this nature would require more policing than buildings of another nature. Mr. Catkido said he thought Meriam Street was a better location for policing at night . He asked if any thought had been given to the property et the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Clarke Street. Mrs. Morey said the owner, Miss Harrington, is still living there and she plans to leave the building to re- tired ministers. Mr. York said the committee will have to present this to the General Court to obtain permission to build in the Park area, and it will _lave too before a Special Town Meeting to request an additional $2,000 to build the building. An appropriation will be requested at the spring Town Meeting . Mr. Cataldo asked if the committee felt eleven units were enough and Mr. York replied in the affirmative. Mr. Cataldo said if $40,000 is going to be spent, it would not cost much more to have a larger building. Mr. York said there is plenty of room for expansion. The Chairman said the committee should get together on the site and either agree on one of these or come up with an alternate location so the committee could go into Town Meeting unanimous . Mrs. Morey said there will he opposition in Town Meeting to placing this building on the Green and that will kill it. Mr. Cataldo s id he noticed thFt the guides would XVI C7° C7 be downstairs and he thought there should be someone there in charge of the guides at all times. Mr. Kolovson said the Chamber of Commerce thought the guide situation has been poor and in this way it will have some control over the situation. Mr. York asked if the Board had any suggestions on the building itself. The Chairman replied that the Board tries to take the recommendations of the appointed committees and where the committee has spent so much time, the Board would not get into any argument . He said he hoped the committee would agree to go along with what the Historic Districts Commission would suggest Mr. York sail Mrs. Morey agreed, if the Historic Districts Commission is in favor, to go along with it. He said the Commission would not give final approval until it has final drawings. Mr. Cataldo said the committee should show the Commission the walks and driveways. Mrs. Morey said the committee does not need working plans for final approval. Mr. York stated that the exterior has to be finalized or the commission will not approve the plans . Mrs. Morey said a lot has been done to the building since the committee met with the commission. Mr. York said the exterior of the building is all the commission can rule on and it needs final exterior plans. He said half of the $1,000 has been spent . Mr. Kolovson said the remaining $500 would be suf- ficient to get what the committee wants now. The Chairman said he came to the conclusion that the Board of Selectmen favored the location near Meriam Street, and suggested that the committee get together again. The group retired at 8:40 P.M. Miss Ruth Ryan met with the Board. She stated that she end her father live at 21 Revere Street. She stated that a brook runs across their property into which the Town Drainage dumps water which is ruining their property. She stated that about ten years ago, the brook was six feet wide and now it is twenty feet wide. She has had to have a fence moved toward the house twice in recent years, and the leach beds are going to go. She said the Town maintains the brook and lowered it on the further side, but it is going faster on her property because it is going downhill. She said something has to be done because the ground where the leaching beds are is sinking away. The Chairman asked if Miss Ryan had discussed the sub- ject with Mr. Carroll. IMiss Ryan said she did, but it did no good and that is why she made the appointment with the Board. She said the brook would have to be put in a pipe or a retaining wall built. She said her back yard is a lake and the sewer backs up into the cellar. The whole back yard is leaching beds and that is what worries her. She said she would likethe Board to look at it. Miss Ryan retired at 8:45 P.M. Mr. Gray stated that there was a gentleman present, representing Cabot, Cabot & Forbes, who did not understand the procedure of the application submitted by the Burroughs Corp. for permission to maintain a tank for the under- ground storage of fuel oil. Fuel oil Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted storage to take up item one on the agenda. No one was present representing the petitioner. Notice of the hearing was mailed to the petitioner, owners of the property deemed to be affected as they appear on the most recent local tax list, and also ad- vertised in the September 3, 1964 issue of the Lexington Minute-man The application was approved by Chief Engineer Belcastro of the Fire Department . No one was present in favor or in opposition. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to grant a license to the Burroughs Corp. for permission to maintain an underground tank for the storage of 3,010 gallons of #2 fuel oil on premises located on Spring Street. Mr. Bradford Giddings, 3 Stetson Street, met with the Boa d at 8:45 P.M. Mr. Giddings said he had a water bill for $142 which dates back a year and a half. He explained that apparently a leak developed and he did not know it because the bills he received a ye .r ago and which he received last December Giddings ' were minimum bills, and he thought they meant he was not Water bill using more than the minimum amount of water. In July he received a bill for $142. He said if he had received a proper bill a year a6o, he would have known there was a leak and he would have done something about it . He ex- plained the meter reader could not get in to read the meter in July or December because the door was locked He left a card on June 25 which apparently was not returned because the Town does not have it . In December, he returned a card which the Town says was postmarked January 3, but did not get on the bill. He said he felt where there were three six-month periods where the leak was going on, 3 i G' 217 the first six months a*°e on him. The last six months, when be returned the card, he did not think was his fault, and the middle six months is open for negotiation. He said he felt he was not entirely wrong and neither is the Town wrong. He said most people rely on the water bill to tell them what is going on. He stated he checked with the meter man, Mr. Jefferson, and he said Mr. Giddings ' house was apparently the last one in Town to be read. He either has to get the card back quickly or nothing will be shown on the bill. He said he does not feel he is entirely to blame. On the other hand, he used the water. He said someone suggested that the Town might charge him what it cost the Town for water, and he was just asking for consideration. Mr. Cataldo asked where the leak occurred, and Mr. Giddings replied in the attic in an enclosed area. It was overflowing but not where anyone could hear it. Mr. Sheldon asked if it couldn't be heard when everything wss quiet, and Mr. Giddings replied that it is in an insulated area. He said he could not hear it in the L,pipe�c,dmi.n.$ to the toilet but the plumber could hear it. The Chairman asked if he had any different use in water during the last six months and Mr. Giddings replied there are only three people in the house. The Chairman said the Board would take .the matter under advisement and make further investigation. He asked Mr. Gray to investigate all aspects of the matter and report back to the Board. Mr. Giddings retired at 8:55 P.M. Notice was received from the Department of Public Utilities of a hearing to be held on Tuesday, October 6, Hearing 1964, at 10:00 A.M. , 166 State House, in regard to the rates and charges of the Boston and Maine Railroad.

Snow, in the amount of $800, for profession al services in the propar- Mr. Snow's ation of a general site plan for Lexington central play- bill ground, in accordance with the Board's letter of October 29, 1963. The Chairman said to the best of his knowledge, Mr. Snow had fulfilled his part of the contract. Letter was received from Mr. Snow advising that he had, on September 9, 1964, given Mr. John Carroll the original of the plan entitled Facilities for the Center Playground and High School Physical Education, Lexington, Massachusetts", dated Sept 2, 1964. He said it was his understanding that Mr. Carroll would have the original 377 returned to him after he made such prints as may be needed by the various town agencies concerned with the project Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to authorize payment of Mr. Snow 's bill in the amount of $800 and to furnish him with a copy of the plan ex- plaining that the Board has purchased the original plan.

Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the minutes of the Selectmen's Meeting held Minutes on September 2, 1964. A Mr. Spagnuolo, developer of Ingleside, met with the Board. Mr. Spagnuolo said he was present at the suggestion of Mr Carroll and Mr. Irwin concerning the removal of loam and gravel on the Ingleside development. They sug- gested that he see the Board of Selectmen first because there is a question as to whether or not, a determination Removal of whether or not, this loam and gravel can be removed of loam from the premises is a matter for the Board of Appeals & gravel or not. They also suggested that he discuss this with the Board of Selectmen so it would be aware of what is going on there. Most of the complaint calls :nave been through the Board of Selectmen He said one of the reasons he wants this cleared up is because every time he goes to move some material, Mr. Irwin or Mr. Carroll come down and they are concerned. He has been there for two years, and every time he removes any material from the property or on the property, they have been down on some type of complaint . He said he would like to get this squared away. Mr. Gray said he originally suggested the Board of Appeals and then found that Mr. Irwin and Mr. Carroll suggested that Mr. Spagnuolo meet with the Board. The Chairman said he heard tonight that Town Counsel said this should be Board of Appeals. 37 Mr. Cataldo said the Board could discuss the oper- ation with Mr. Legro . Mr. Spagnuolo said that Mr. Carroll had suggested some type of an agreement for regrading and reloaming the lots in order to protect the Town. He said with the road bonds, there is no protection on the lots. The Chairman asked Mr. Gray to check with Mr. Carroll. He told Mr. Spagnuolo that the Board would check with Town Counsel and let him know as soon as possible. Mr. Spagnuolo retired at 9:10 P.M. The Chairman said he had a letter written, if it meets with the Board 's approval, requesting the Town of Arlington for permission to post the Great Meadows, "No Hunt ing". Mr. Brown represents the Board on the Hunting Com- mittee and the Board authorized the Chairman to send the letter, a a suggested by Mr. Brown on behalf of the committee. Mr. Gray read a letter from Mr. Legro, Town Counsel, with reference to the dish of Jerome Pearlman vs. Carl H. Anderson, employee of the Town. Claim Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to indemnify the employee, Carl H. Anderson, and to authorize Mr. Legro to settle this claim for the lower of two repair estimates, $39.20. Mr. Gray read a letter from Mr. Legro, Town Counsel, with reference to Tax Title deed to United States of America. Tax title Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to execute a deed, prepared by Town Counsel, pursuant to vote of Town Meeting on November 25, 1963; conveying Tax Title Lots 185-189, inclusive, on Hayward Avenue, to the United States of America for National Park purposes. Mr. Gray referred to letter received from the Plan- Castoldi ning Board some time ago relative to an exchange of land land between John W. Cattoldi, Inc. and the Town, recommending exchange insertion of articles in the warrant for the next Town Meeting to authorize the Selectmen to sell a parcel to Castoldi and to accept a parcel from Castoldi as an even exchange. Mr. Gray reported that he had received an appraisal from Mr. Harry A. Ber%lund which, among other things, stated that it was his opinion that by straighten ing the boundary line by transfer of a triangular parcel with a frontage of 175 feet, more or less, on a street 379 constructed to Town specifications, at no cost to the Town, and with direct access from this area to the Willard Park, it would be advantageous to the Town, both in money and land. Upon Iotion duly made and seconded, it was voted to insert an article in the warrant for the next Town Articles Meeting to authorize the Selectmen on behalf of the Town to sell or otherwise convey a parcel of land to John W. Castoldi, Inc. It was further voted to insert an article in the warrant for the next Town Meeting to authorize the Selectmen on behalf of the Town to accept a gift of a parcel of land from John W. Castoldi, Inc. Mr. Gray said he had a letter that was received this afternoon, signed by ten citizens, stating that they had Dump conducted a count of the number of vehicles entering the Town dump on Lincoln Street As a result of their study they feel the new dump on Hartwell Avenue should remain open Sundays, that closing the dump on Sundays would cause inconvenience to many taxpayers, and that the Board reverse its original decision. The Chairman said he would not like to make a judgmmnt without giving the Superintendent of Public Works an opportunity to express his opinion. The matter was held over until the next meeting of the Board, at which time Mr. Carroll will be present. Mrs. Fay Lieb, League of Women Voters representative, said that Saturday, during the day up until five o 'clock, many families are out family shopping, either in Boston or the shopping areas and going to the dump Dump before five is difficult . She stated to give this a try when the dump will be closed at five is a poor time. She said Saturday is a very active day on cars and this will increase the load on Saturday and may not be a relief at all. The Chairman stated that the Board would go on a basis of facts, and if -he facts warrant a change, he thought the Board would be willing to change, but in fairness to the Superintendent who made this recommen- dation, the Board would wait until he at least has had an opportunity to express his opinion The Chairman referred to the report of the Traffic Study Committee, a copy of which was mailed to each member of the Board, and stated that Mrs. Graham,who is affected by one of the reports, is present. Her complaint was in reference to the area on Adams Street 38 () lo tt- between #93 to #76 The Traffic Study Committee recommended that this be considered by the Selectmen with the 1965 sidewalk budget The work necessary to correct the situation is extensive and will involve a sum of money not available at the Traffic present time The Superintendent of Public Works is preparing plans to show tne possible methods of correct- ing the situation Mr. Gray stated that as well as requiring a con- siderable expenditure of funds, which are not available, this may also involve some land taking Mrs. Graham said the parents realize it will cost money to do the job the way it should be done and that next Thursday the children will be starting school. She reported that in the last few days, a sand trucW. partially covered the sidewalk as well as the street, over the weekend two mail boxes were knocked down by a car, and a truck is partially on the sidewalk. The children have to walk around the truck. She said sue would like temporary measures this year and asked if a bumper strip could be put in. The Chairman asked if she meant curbing, and Mrs. Graham replied that she meant a guard rail. She asked if something could be done to separate the children from the cars. The Chairman asked Mr. Graf if there was any way the Highway Maintenance Fund could be used to put up a rail. Mr. Gray replied in the affirmative. Mr. Sheldon said he thought the Board would have to talk to Mr. Carroll to see what temporary measures might be taken. The Chairman said the Board would take the matter under advisement and do what it can. Mr. Gray said he would take this up with Mr. Carroll. Mr. Gray reported that he received a letter from Mr. Irwin, Building Inspector, with further reference to the Cummings ' property on Massachusetts Avenue and the Buildings Trebino property on Dunham Street. He said he thought both of these had been turned over to Town Counsel, and he would take them up with him again and see that he starts the necessary proceedings for hearings . Mr. Gray read a letter from the Planning Board with reference to Mr. Harvey Newgent 's request to pur- Tax title chase tax title lots 41, 55 and 56 on Wood Street The strip of land Mr. Newgent is interested in was conveyed to the Town by Holton and Brogna on October 23, 1933, and includes Old Wood Street which was never legally abandoned as a street The Planning Board recommended that the Town refrain from selling or conveying any land or rights in this area until the matter of street frontage is resolved to the satisfaction of Town Counsel It was agreed to advise Mr. Newgent that the report of the Planning Board indicates there are legal problems involved and the matter has been referred to Town Counsel. Mr. Gray read a letter from the Planning Board with reference to Miss Florence J. Armstrong's offer to pur- chase a strip of land contiguous to Town property at 34 Summer Street. The Planning Board reported that from its investi- gation the proposed 40-foot strip is not owned by the Town and that Miss Armstrong and the owner of lot of house #36 Summer Street may own the fee in that part of the proposed street. It was the Planning Board's recommendation that the Town not sell the right-of-way strip. Mr. Gray read a letter from the Planning Board with refeence to Mr. Antonio DeVito's offer to purchase lots 79 and 81 Valleyfield Street to enable him to build a house on lot 80. Tax title The Planning Board sees no objection to the sale of lot 79 to the owner of the adjacent lot 80. Lot 81 is owned by Joseph F. and Edna B. Cichy of Woburn who paid taxes in 1963 and 1964 and is not a tax title lot. The Chairman said the Board could depart from its policy of advertising because the person interested in acquiring it owns the adjacent lot . Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to authorize Mr. Gray to obtain an appraisal Mr. Gray reported that Mr . Carl Blake called to find out whether or not a date had been set for a Special Town Town Meeting. The Town Meeting Members Association wants Meeting to meet with the Board next Monday to discuss articles . The Chairman said the Board could aim for November 16, and Mr. Cataldo said that would be the earliest date. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to call a Special Town Meeting to be held on Monday, November 16, 1964, at 8:00 P.M. 382 AA Mr. Gray reported on three bids received by , Mr . Arthur Burrell, Director of Civil Defense, on radios, and stated the only bid that met the_ispecifi- Contract cations, was Motorola, but $249 over the amount avail- Radios able. Mr. Burrell recommended awarding the contract to Motorola and that a request be made for a transfer. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to award the contract for radios to Motorola at its bid of $4,920. It was further voted to request the Appropriation Committee for a transfer of $250 if this amount is not available in the Police Department budget Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to go into Executive Session for the purpose of dis- Executive cussing, deliberating or voting on matters which, if made Session public, might adversely affect the public security, the financial interest of the Town or the reputation of any person.
