Me-morandurn of Understanding ("MOU") between ND Acquisitions LLC (the "Developer") and
the Town of Lexington. Massachusetts (the "Town")
For 55 and 56 Watertown Street, Lexington (collectively, the "Property")
October—, 2018
Background
The Developer is under contract with The Belmont Country Club ("BCC") to
purchase the two parcels comprising the Property in order to construct a development
consisting of senior independent living/assisted senior living residences and an adjoining
development consisting of memory care residences. This proposed development project is
intended to serve residents of Lexington and surrounding communities.
The Developer has proposed to rezone the Property to create a Planned Development
District, or PD-3 in this case, to allow for the development and use of the Property for memory
care, senior independent living and senior assisted living residences. The memory care
residences are planned to be located on a 4.4-acre parcel between Watertown Street and Golden
Avenue ("Bridges"). Bridges is designed to accommodate 48 units (54 residents), providing all
living needs for those residents within the Bridges memory care residences and managed by a
24-hour staff,
The senior independent living/assisted senior living residences are planned to be located
on a 13.4-acre parcel abutting the Belmont Country Club ("Waterstone") and across Watertown
Street from the Bridges residences. Waterstone is planned to accommodate 40 assisted living
and 116 independent senior living residents (all household members will be required to be 62
years of age or older). For purposes of this MOU, Bridges and Waterstone, collectively, shall be
known as the "Project". The Project is intended to help address a recognized housing need in
expanding housing options for Lexington's seniors, as identified in Lexington's 2004
Comprehensive Plan.
The Town, acting through the Lexington Town Meeting, will consider a Preliminary Site
Development and Use Plan in November 2018 for the PD-3 District in connection with the
Project (the "PSDUP"). This MOU sets forth certain mitigation measures to be completed or
undertaken by the Developer as part of the Project- This MOU supplements the obligations and
commitments of the Developer as established in the PSDUP. Except as specifically set forth
herein, this MOU shall not negate the obligations and commitments of the Developer in any
other permit, certificate or approval issued by the Town in connection with the Project,
Ie Transportation Commitments
A. Financial Contribution toward Transportation or Other Municipal Improvements
Notwithstanding that traffic generated by the Project is projected to have only a
negligible impact on the surrounding roadway network (as confirmed by the Town's'traffic study
peer review of the Project), the Developer has agreed to make a one-time contribution of
100.000.00 to the Town prier to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for the
Project. This payment is intended to provide the `l own funding for planned roadway, pedestrian
safety and infrastructure projects or transportation demand management programs.

seniors age 0+ and persons under the age of 0 with a disability, including residents of the
Project. In the event Lex®Connect or similar reduced-fare taxi service is no longer offered in the
future, this annual payment obligation shall cease and the Developer shall have no further
obligation pursuant to this section.
The Developer agrees that the annual Lex-Connect payment described above shall
increase by the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, Boston-Cambridge- e�vvton,

calendar year(s); provided, however, that this figure shall never be reduced below the base
established in this MOU. The first such adjustment, if applicable, shall be completed on the
initial CPI-ITT Adjustment Date based on changes in CPLU for the preceding calendar year. If the
Bureau of Labor Statistics should cease to publish the CPI-U in its present form and calculated
on the present basis, a comparable index or an index reflecting changes in prices determined in a
similar manner shall reasonably be designated by the Town in substitution therefor. The CPI-U
for any year relevant to the application of this definition shall be that published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics for such previous calendar year.
C. TDM Obligations/Improvements
The Developer also agrees to implement the Transportation Demand Management
policies, measures and transportation improvements ("TDM Measures") associated with the
Project in accordance with the Traffic Impact Study prepared by Stantec Consulting Services Inc.

Developer shall make its traffic engineer available, at Developer"s expense, to support this
petition in a consulting role with MassDOT. Further. the Developer shall fund the cost of any
physical improvements and signage required to implement the lower speed limit up to $50,0000
in the aggregate (the "Speed Limit Work Costs"). To comply with this financial obligation,

L
a, A valved (no ally-closed) emergency interconnection to the Arlington water system
on Golden Avenue; or,
b. for the portion of the water main extension that is"over"Rt. 2 (on the underside of the
Watertown Street bridge), the provision of a second (redundant) water main.
Z�l
1 If after construction of the extension of the Lexington water mains to the Project sites (and
prior to the completion of construction of the Project), hydrant flows at the Project entries
indicate that the new distribution system would not provide 70 psi at 750 gpm at either or both
of the proposed buildings at the Project,the sprinkler system for that building(s)may require a
conventional fire protection sprinkler booster pump that would be designed and installed
consistent with the building code in place that the time as reviewed and approved by the
Lexington Building and Fire Departments.
SEWER SERVICE CONNECTION MITIGATION
The Developer and the Town acknowledge that as detailed in the Weston & Sampson sewer
connection report feasibility report for the Project dated 2/15/2018, while sanitary sewer pipes and
manholes downstream of the proposed sewer connection for the Project are in generally good
condition and capable of handling the proposed additional flow from the developments, the
Developer is committed to performing (or, if the Town prefers, reimbursing the Town for the cost
of performing) the following work:
1. PRECONNECTION OBLIGATIONS:
a. CLEANING AND INSPECTIONS: The dewatering and heavy cleaning and CCTV
inspection of approximately 2,4336 LF of sewers shown in Table 2 of the above-
referenced Weston& Sampson report,
b, MANHOLE RECONFIGURATION: as recommended in the above-referenced
Weston & Sampson report, prior to flow from ProjJect's connection to the Town's
sanitary sewer systern. sewer manhole S13-125 will be reconfigured or rebuilt
(based on designs rev-1ewed and approved by Lexington DPW) to better convey
laminar flow,
c, PRE-CONNECTION REPAIR, as recommended in the above-referenced Weston
& Sampson report, prior to the Project's connection to the Town's sanitary sewer
system, approximately 267 LF of replacement cured-in-place sanitary sewer pipe
ill be installed from SMH S 1.3-132 to SM14 5 1 3)-I 33A.
2, POST-CONNECT ION OBLIGATIONS: POSSIBLE MINOR RETROFITS REQUIRED
The Developer acknowledges that the Developer will coordinate with the Town and
reimburse the Town to have qualified third-party professionals inspect the downstream
sanitary se�Ner lines I year after the Project's proposed sanitary sewer connection is made.
If this inspection identifies surcharging at any sewer manhole along the flow path
attributable to the Project due to invert configuration,
juration, the Developer agrees to compensate
Torn
the of Lexington for the appropriate reconfiguration of the sewer manhole bench and
invert of the impact manhole(s).

Statement of Interest
I am interested in becoming a member of the Ad Hoc Crematory Study Committee.
I have lived in Lexington for 27 years and have the time to participate in town activities such as this ad
hoc committee. I have experience as a member of the Bicycle Advisory Committee and I was an active
Lexington Land Steward for many years.
I am interested in the topic of cremation and am eager to have an opportunity to learn more about it
and participate in the town's study. I have experience with a local loved one being cremated, so I have
some very basic knowledge of the current practice as seen from a customer's perspective. I have a
related professional interest as well. I recently formed a grave tending business, Immaculate Graves. We
provide grave and memorial maintenance services to clients in the Greater Boston area.
I am a scientist and very willing and able to research and report on the six listed items (legislation,
evaluation of needs, building options, other crematories, operation, and environmental concerns).
I hope that you agree to include me on the ad hoc committee.

Board of Selectmen
Five members elected by the voters at large to overlapping 3-year terms: Chairman Suzanne E.
Barry, Vice Chairman Michelle L. Ciccolo, Peter C.J. Kelley, Joseph N. Pato and Douglas M.
Lucente. Peter C.J. Kelley did not run for re-election after serving the Town for 15 years and Jill
Hai was elected to the Board in the March 2018 election.
Staffing changes: in October of 2017, Kim Katzenback was named Executive Clerk for the Board
of Selectmen. Ms. Morgan Steele was named assistant to the Executive Clerk in December 2017.
Town Manager
In May, 2018, Carl F. Valente announced his retirement from the Town of Lexington after having
served as the Town Manager for thirteen years. The Board began the search for his replacement
by requesting qualifications and hired Municipal Resources Inc.to begin the recruitment and hiring
process of a new Town Manager.
Fiscal Matters
Lexington continued to maintain its positive financial standing. Property tax revenues rose due to
new growth in both the residential and commercial sectors. Home prices have continued to rise
rapidly during the year, and the housing market continues to be robust. Residential property values,
however, grew faster than commercial values shifting some property tax burden from commercial
to residential payers for the fourth year in a row. As a result, the Selectmen maintained the split
tax-rate factor at its maximum to soften the impact on residential tax-payers.
We have maintained our Aaa rating from our bond agencies, and our cost of debt is very low. The
Selectmen kept their goal to have no operating overrides. The Selectmen have continued their
policy to set aside a portion of revenues in a fund that would be used to reduce the impact of
excluded debt on the tax payer and to support capital projects. In response to the Economic
Development Summit in 2017 and continued interest by Town officials to enhance local revenues
through new commercial investment, the Board of Selectmen requested the Town Manager to
direct staff to develop recommendations on initial zoning changes for the Selectmen to consider.
The Board has since held j oint meetings with the Planning Board and the Community to investigate
further steps.
Fire Station
The Town successfully voted a debt exclusion in December of 2017 which will enable 171-173
Bedford Street to become the location of the Fire Headquarters Swing Space while the Fire
Headquarters is being rebuilt at 45 Bedford Street.
Capital Planning
The Board continues to address the issues of maintaining and improving infrastructure, including,
but not limited to; our roads, water and sewer systems,parks and fields, and buildings.
In December, 2017, the Town voted to pass a Debt Exclusion Vote to pay for the design and
construction of a new Maria Hastings Elementary School, the Lexington Children's Place, and a
new Fire Headquarters Station.
Community Engagement
Communication to and from the Board is an ongoing priority of the Board. All Board members
maintain office hours; a time set aside to meet with residents about issues or concerns they may
have. For the fourth year in a row, the Board participated in the annual Discovery Day event as
part of their community outreach program. Board members also spoke at various town and civic
related groups over the course of the year. The Board evaluated over 50 potential goals at their
annual goal setting meeting for the year that were submitted by members of the Board, staff, and
Boards and Committees; ultimately the list was narrowed to 22 priority goals for the Board to
focus on.
The Board held joint meetings with the School Committee to discuss Mental Health initiatives,
specifically addressing the needs of residents across the lifespan and also working to destigmatize
mental health issues. The collaborative effort will continue in the upcoming year.
Sustainability
In December of 2017, the Town of Lexington and the Sustainable Lexington Committee were
presented with the 2017 Leadership by Example award for municipalities by Governor Charlie
Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito at the State House. The Leading by Example Awards
recognize outstanding efforts among Commonwealth agencies, public colleges and universities,
and municipalities that have implemented policies and programs that have led to significant and
measurable environmental and energy benefits.
Respect and Inclusivity
The Board remains committed to a peaceful resolution of differences and remains dedicated to
open and honest communication/dialogue as a way to promote respect, understanding, acceptance
and inclusion for all. The Board of Selectmen is committed to balancing all the interests of
Lexington and continuing to ensure the Town remains a strong, diverse and healthy community.
