negotiating position of the Town.
Upon exiting the Executive Session, the Board returned to Open Session at 7:27 p.m.
SELECTMAN CONCERNS AND LIAISON REPORTS
Ms. Hai stated that the Lexington Human Rights Committee will be recognizing “No Hate
November” this month. On Monday, November 18, 2019, there will be a panel discussion on the
impact of hate and how to combat it at Cary Memorial Library.
Mr. Lucente stated that he, Mr. Pato, Ms. Barry, and Mr. Sandeen attended the Veterans Breakfast
on Saturday, November 2, 2019. He thanked the Town Celebrations Committee and the Rotary
Club for organizing the event.
Mr. Lucente stated that all five members of the Board, along with Mr. Malloy, attended a ribbon
cutting ceremony for the newly completed Lexington Children’s Place.
Mr. Lucente also stated that on Thursday, November 7, 2019, a report from UMass Boston on the
findings of the Age-Friendly Needs Assessment will be available at the Lexington Community
Center.
Ms. Barry stated that there will be a Veterans Day parade on Monday, November 11, 2019 starting
at 10:00 a.m. at the Hosmer House. The parade will conclude at the Cary Memorial Building with
a ceremony in Battin Hall at 11:00 a.m.
Mr. Sandeen stated that he will be presenting the Board’s letter to the Board of Building
Regulations and Standards (BBRS) on the importance of establishing a net zero energy code.
TOWN MANAGER REPORT
Mr. Malloy stated that a $40 million supplemental under Chapter 90, which was introduced by
Governor Charles D. Baker, has gone through the Senate and is back at the House of
Representatives. This supplemental, factored in with the $200 million regular appropriation, could
mean about $195,000 for the Town.
Mr. Malloy stated that the Town closed on conservation land off of Kendall Road and Sherburne
Road South last week.
Mr. Malloy mentioned that the continued work on the Lexington Community Center sidewalk
project should be done in about a week.
Mr. Malloy concluded with an update on the Inter-Municipal Agreement for the Veterans’ Services
District. The Town of Carlisle is interested in joining the Veterans’ Services District, as well as
another nearby town. He anticipates arranging a meeting with all of the towns in the near future
for a series of discussions prior to amending the Veterans’ Service Agreement.
ITEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION
1. Update on Police Station Design and Fire Station Projects
Lexington Police Station Design
Mike Cronin, Director of Public Facilities, and Jeffery McElravy, AIA, Principal, Public Safety at
Tecton Architects, presented an update to the Board on the Lexington Fire Station and Lexington
Police Station projects. The current Fletcher Park green space is approximately 29,900 square feet
and there are currently 119 parking spaces. The first design option for the proposed new Police
Station area maximized the green space for Fletcher Park to 37,020 square feet and allows for 107
parking spaces (this is inclusive of the parking on Fletcher Avenue and the Police Headquarters).
The second design option offers 34,810 square feet of green space for Fletcher Park and allows for
113 parking spaces. The third option changed the parallel parking on Fletcher Avenue to diagonal
parking, proposes 32,550 square feet of green space for Fletcher Park and allows for 119 parking
spaces.
Ms. Hai inquired about parking for vendor vehicles during the Lexington Farmers’ Market in the
presented configurations due to the current vehicle parking on the grassy area near the Hosmer
House.
Mr. Cronin stated that the purpose of the three design options presented were to maximize lined
parking spaces and prevent further vehicle parking on the grass.
Ms. Hai expressed concern about the diagonal parking spaces and the future event spacing. She
stated that she would advocate for the second option with the 113 parking spaces.
Mr. Pato stated that the third option would be his preference and that he would like to see some
sort of traffic calming in the area to reduce concerns.
Mr. Lucente expressed concern about the diagonal parking spaces. He stated that he would prefer
the second option with the 113 parking spaces and wanted to know if there was some way to
slightly reduce the green space.
Ms. Barry expressed concern about the diagonal parking spaces. She stated that she would prefer
the first option with the 107 parking spaces or the second option with the 113 parking spaces. She
does not feel the Town should push parking into the neighborhood.
Mr. Sandeen stated that he preferred the second option with the 113 parking spaces.
Mr. McElravy presented the details of the interior of the Police Station. The building will now be
reduced from three floors to two floors for an increase in circulation. He presented minor changes,
some of which included: relocating the mechanical electrical spaces upstairs for resiliency,
opening up some glazing for the dispatch area, and the possibility of creating a memorial area in
the front of the building to connect the green spaces. He stated that the adoption of the newly
approved Integrated Design Policy was anticipated for this project, so they have been meeting with
the Permanent Building Committee and Sustainable Lexington Committee to incorporate the
Integrated Design since the beginning of Schematic Design. The meetings for the Integrated
Design have occurred on the following dates: Thursday, May 2, 2019, Wednesday June 5, 2019,
and Wednesday, October 16, 2019. The policy does require Board of Selectmen endorsement at
the end of Schematic Design, Design Development, and Construction Document phases.
Mr. McElravy stated that the initial life cycle cost analysis has been modified and preliminary
findings have been reviewed. He anticipates a discussion on the analysis findings at the next Board
of Selectmen meeting. He also stated that conceptual energy modeling has been done on the first
model of the building, so an analysis of the payback for the possibility of geothermal wells can be
performed. They are also exploring Net Zero, but it is unclear if there is enough photovoltaics on
the site to achieve this. The next phase would include a solar feasibility analysis. In order to get to
Net Zero, solar panels may have to be introduced in the parking lot, which are an aesthetic
challenge (the roof offers insufficient area to support solar panels). Mr. McElravy is confident that
there are enough points to achieve LEED silver certification as the current design is tracking
enough points to achieve gold. The decision on pursuing the actual certification would be needed
by the end of the Design Development phase. The red list is currently being worked on in
conjunction with the Sustainable Lexington Committee to clearly define what the actual goals are
and how to achieve them.
Ms. Barry inquired about the cost and the timeline of the project.
Mr. McElravy stated that documents are being sent to the estimator this week and the updated cost
of the project would be available by December 1, 2019.
Mr. Sandeen stated that he would like to see a presentation on the requirements of the facility in
the future.
Mr. Malloy stated that a space needs analysis can be provided to the Board.
Mr. McElravy stated that the Schematic Design will be wrapped up by the end of the month with
the receipt of the estimate. The Design Development is anticipated for early 2020 with a
completion of that phase by the end of February. The Construction Documents phase will take
approximately three months and after that, the project will be going out to bid. He anticipates that
the project will be ready for Spring Town Meeting.
Ms. Hai expressed concern regarding there only being one female stall in the locker room.
Lexington Fire Station Project
Mr. McElravy presented an update on the progress of the newly retitled “Fire Headquarters”
project. He stated that the total budget was $18,820,700 and the total committed is $15,869,748.51.
The total amount paid as of today is $4.8 million, encumbered is almost $11 million, and an
unencumbered budget and contingency just shy of $3 million. There was some unforeseen asbestos
contaminated material found under the foundation of the firehouse that has since been removed.
The site cleaning caused a slight delay in the project, but it is now moving forward with the
approval of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
Ms. Hai inquired about the cost of the asbestos cleanup.
Mr. McElravy stated that the asbestos cleanup cost $500,000 in contingency fees.
Ms. Barry inquired about the project schedule pending the upcoming winter conditions and would
there be an impact.
Mr. Cronin stated that they are currently in winter conditions and do not foresee the weather being
an issue. He stated that they anticipate the completion of the project to take place sometime in
April.
Mr. Sandeen inquired if the total committed funds would continue to stay $3 million under total
budget at the end of the project.
2. Discuss Hosmer House Relocation
Mr. Malloy presented an update on the relocation of the Hosmer House in conjunction with the
Lexington Police Station and Fletcher Park redesign project. He made a recommendation that the
Town put together a working group with representatives from the Lexington Housing Assistance
Board, Department of Public Facilities, Board of Selectmen (one member), Comprehensive Plan
Advisory Committee, Historic Districts Commission, and the Town Manager. He stated that there
have been some discussions with these groups regarding the proposal to move the house to Vine
Street and there seems to be initial interest in doing so before the Police Station project begins.
This would allow for Fletcher Park and the adjacent municipal parking lot to be realigned before
construction.
Mr. Malloy stated that the goal of the working group would be to hold a couple of meetings,
including one with the neighborhood, and report back to the Board of Selectmen in either
December or January with some direction and an estimated cost to move the house for
consideration at Annual Town Meeting.
The Board was in agreement that an informal working group be created to provide direction and
cost estimates for relocating the Hosmer House with its best use in mind. They all agreed that Ms.
Hai should be the representative from the Board of Selectmen to be in this group.
Bob Pressman, 22 Locust Avenue and member of the Community Preservation Committee and
Housing Partnership Board, expressed that a working group approach would not allow the
meetings for this topic to be posted and for public comments. He does not agree with the closed
process for affordable housing discussions.
Wendy Manz, Precinct 9 Town Meeting Member, expressed concern that a working group
approach would be a closed process and how it creates a strong predilection for one particular
solution. She expressed concern regarding the ability to transform the Hosmer House into a six-
unit affordable housing option due to spatial and technical limitations.
Mr. Lucente suggested that a member be added to the working group from either those who created
the original report or a member of the Housing Partnership Board.
Betsey Weiss, 8 Dover Lane, suggested that if the Hosmer House were to be moved, that an ell
and a barn be added on and it should be a market rate unit (not affordable housing). She also
suggested that if it were made into affordable housing, that the financing should not be put on the
Lexington Housing Assistance Board, but rather, the Town should fund it.
3. WestMetro HOME Consortium Sub-Recipient Agreement
Mr. Malloy presented the agreement between the Town of Lexington and the WestMetro HOME
Consortium as a standard agreement, which sets forth the terms and conditions under which the
Member Communities will become the recipient of HOME Investment Partnership Program
funding. The Consortium is made up of 12 other communities and the City of Newton administers
the program. The Town of Lexington’s share of the funding this year is $36,365, which is proposed
to be used by the Lexington Housing Authority for the renovation of five units at Pine Grove
Village.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to approve the HOME
Sub-Recipient Agreement as attached and further to authorize the Town Manager to execute the
agreement.
4. Joint Meeting - Board of Selectmen and Housing Partnership Board
Presentation on Chapter 40R & Chapter 40S - Smart Growth Districts
At 8:32 p.m., the Joint Meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the Housing Partnership Board was
called to order by both boards to discuss Chapter 40R and Chapter 40S - Smart Growth Districts.
Present for the Housing Partnership Board were: Jeri Foutter, Chair; Bob Peters, Planning Board
Liaison; Betsey Weiss, Vice-Chair; Harriet Cohen, Clerk; Bob Pressman; Wendy Manz, Capital
Expenditures Committee Liaison; Melanie Thompson; and Paul Linton.
Mr. Lucente stated that the presentation will be made by Mark Racicot, Director of the Land Use
Division at the Metropolitan Area Planning Council.
Mr. Racicot stated that Chapter 40R is a voluntary program for individual municipalities to provide
options to adopt and implement zoning that allows for compact, mixed-income, by-right
development in areas with existing or planned infrastructure. The minimum affordability
component would be 20% of the units and the affordable units would have to be dispersed
proportionally throughout the development. This type of development would have to be in an
existing area with public infrastructure and adequate water, sewer, and roadways to serve it. The
development would have better access to retail and services by offering both direct and indirect
financial incentives, as well as a tool to better manage residential growth. The one-time zoning
incentive payment to the municipality would be based on the size of the district and the total
potential increased number of housing units. The amount ranges from $10,000 for a small site to
$600,000 for a large site with a lot of units. There is a second payment when the building permit
is issued for the building units. Chapters 40R and 40S serve to reimburse cities and towns for the
additional costs of educating new school-age children in smart growth districts.
Mr. Racicot explained that the area of concentrated development has to contain at least 50% of an
existing commercial/mixed-use zone and at least 50% must also be previously developed
(characterized by substantially developed land, even if such land qualifies as underutilized). The
non-commercial portions of an Area of Concentrated Development cannot exceed 50% of the
district. The Town would not be allowed to put age restrictions on the residential portion of the
units.
Mr. Sandeen inquired if the Chapter 40S payments were a one-time incentive like the Chapter 40R
zoning incentive payment.
Mr. Racicot explained that the Town would apply for the Chapter 40S incentive payment annually,
but Lexington would likely not be eligible.
Mr. Pato expressed that the information in the presentation would benefit the Comprehensive Plan
Advisory Committee as they are currently reworking the Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Foutter inquired if there were a timeline for when the area has been zoned to when the building
begins and if the State would follow up on the status of the project. She also inquired if there were
asset limits for the Chapter 40R, in addition to the income limits.
Mr. Pressman inquired if there were any Chapter 40R districts that involve the reuse an office
building rather than a mill or manufacturing structure.
Ms. Weiss expressed that she is hoping for Chapter 40R to be a part of the Hartwell Avenue process
as mixed-use or residential and commercial.
Mr. Peters iterated that the funding would be from the State Housing Bond and not the General
Fund.
David Kanter, Precinct 7 Town Meeting Member, expressed concern regarding the difficulty of
incorporating these types of developments within the Lexington community due to the high
density. He mentioned that he would like to see a feasibility review done.
At 9:14 p.m., the Board of Selectmen and the Housing Partnership Board, respectively, voted to
adjourn the Joint Meeting.
5. Grant of Location for Verizon Pole: Lincoln Street - Continuation of Hearing
Mr. Lucente opened the hearing at 9:14 p.m. He stated that this hearing for the grant of location
for a Verizon pole on Lincoln Street was continued from the August 5, 2019, September 9, 2019,
September 23, 2019, October 7, 2019 and October 28, 2019 Board of Selectmen meetings. Verizon
New England Inc. and NSTAR Electric Company d/b/a Eversource Energy request permission to
locate poles, wires, cables and fixtures, including the necessary anchors, guys and other such
sustaining and protecting fixtures, to be owned and used in common by petitioners, along and
across public way on Lincoln Street. The Board is being asked to approve the relocation of one (1)
JO pole, P.55/16, on the northerly side of Lincoln Street to a point approximately 42' easterly from
its current location on the northerly side of Lincoln Street and the Placement one (1) JO pole,
P.55/16A, on the northerly side of Lincoln Street to a point approximately 34' westerly from the
current location of existing pole, P.55/16, located on the northerly side of Lincoln Street.
Mr. Sandeen asked for a status update on the relocation, since the hearing has been continued
multiple times.
Steve Bigley, a contractor working for Pike Telecom representing the interests of Verizon New
England, Inc., stated that there have been several meetings between the abutters and the property
owner at 45 Lincoln Street. There were issues with scheduling conflicts between all parties
involved, including Police, Fire, and Engineering Departments, which resulted in delays.
Ms. Hai expressed concern in regards to the location of the pole causing safety issues or
impairments for elderly drivers exiting the abutting driveway.
Mr. Pato expressed concern that the property owner at 45 Lincoln Street seeks to move the pole
for aesthetic purposes only, thus being unaccommodating to the neighbors.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 3-1-1 to approve (Mr. Pato
voted no; Ms. Hai abstained) the relocation of one (1) JO pole, P.55/16, on the northerly side of
Lincoln Street to a point approximately 42' easterly from its current location on the northerly side
of Lincoln Street and the Placement one (1) JO pole, P.55/16A, on the northerly side of Lincoln
Street to a point approximately 34' westerly from the current location of existing pole, P.55/16,
located on the northerly side of Lincoln Street.
6. Presentation - 2019 STM Article 6 - Amend Zoning Bylaw to Restrict Automatic Teller
Machine as Principal Use in the Center Business District
Jerry Michelson, Chair of the Lexington Center Committee, and Bob Creech, Chair of the Planning
Board, presented an update on the 2019 Special Town Meeting Warrant Article 6: Amend Zoning
Bylaw to Restrict Automatic Teller Machine as Principal Use in the Center Business District. The
purpose of this article is to prohibit the principal use of Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) in the
Center Business District, and in turn, from the Center storefront spaces. There are currently 12
ATMS that are of accessory use for the banks and credit unions in the Center and they will not be
affected by Article 6. The purpose of the article is to prevent an entire storefront being taken up
for ATM use and to create a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly shopping experience in the Center
Business District. The goal moving forward would be to prevent any ambiguity in the current
bylaws and the possibility of low traffic use in an oversized space.
Mr. Pato stated that it is really important to clarify the Town’s zoning and to make the intent clear
when defining the space used for ATMs, so as to head off any potential appeal to land court.
The Board was in agreement that this article would benefit the Center Business District and that it
would be supported at Special Town Meeting.
7. 186 Bedford Street Memorandum Of Understanding
Mr. Malloy presented an update on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for 186 Bedford
Street. He stated that the MOU is very similar to what was presented to the Board a few meetings
back, but it now includes a noise limitation (as suggested by the Planning Board). When the MOU
was discussed in October, the Board agreed to include a noise provision that limited noise between
10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The MOU has been redrafted to include the provision as well as an update
to the date of signature as November 4, 2019.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to approve the
Memorandum of Understanding between the Town of Lexington and 186 Bedford Street LLC as
attached.
The Board of Selectmen exited for a brief recess and returned at 9:39 p.m. calling the meeting back
to order.
8. 2019 Special Town Meeting - Article Positions/Discussion
Mr. Lucente stated that the Board of Selectmen would be discussing 2019 Special Town Meeting
and taking positions on the articles. He mentioned that the articles from the 2019 Special Town
Meeting Warrant would be presented in the following order:
Article 5: Amend Zoning Bylaw From CD-1 District to CSX District - 7 Hartwell Avenue
Article 7: Amend Zoning Bylaw and Map - 186 Bedford Street
Article 8: Appropriate Funding for 25% Design of the Route 4/225 Bedford Street-Hartwell
Avenue-Wood Street Transportation Improvement Project
Article 6: Amend Zoning Bylaw to Restrict Automatic Teller Machine as Principal Use in
the Center Business District
Article 9: LED Streetlight Conversion
Article 2: Appropriate for Prior Year’s Unpaid Bills
Article 3: Appropriate To and From Specified Stabilization Funds
Article 4: Amend FY2020 Operating, Enterprise, Revolving and CPA Budgets
Mr. Lucente stated that Article 1: Reports of Town Boards, Officers, Committees would not have
positions from the Board. Ms. Hai would like to have an Article 1 report on the Ad Hoc Special
Permit Residential Development Zoning Bylaw Amendment Committee (SPRD) and Ms. Barry
would like to have the final report from the Ad Hoc Crematory Study Committee under Article 1
as well.
The resulting positions chart is appended to the end of these minutes.
9. Approve Collective Bargaining Agreement - Fire Union
Ms. Barry recused herself on this item as her husband is an employee of the Town.
Mr. Malloy presented an update on the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Town of
Lexington and the Fire Union. He stated that there is a 2% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA)
for FY2020, FY2021, and FY2022 included. A 1% increase has been added to the top step on a
number of differentials as well as 2% for firefighters to address issues in the Comparison Study.
The Town has also agreed to increase the hazardous pay from 2% to 2.5% during the contract and
then 3% at the last year of the contract. There were also some small management issues adjusted
in the agreement.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 4-0 to approve the Fire
Union contract as presented.
10. Future Meeting Dates
Mr. Lucente presented a proposed schedule of meeting dates for November 2019 through
September 2020 for the Board of Selectmen to consider.
Ms. Hai stated that she will not be attending the proposed January 6, 2020 Board of Selectmen
meeting.
Ms. Barry has a conflict and will not be attending the proposed April 13, 2020 Board of Selectmen
meeting. She inquired as to when the voting of the “White Book” and the voting of the “Brown
Book” would take place in the proposed schedule.
Mr. Sandeen stated that the proposed March 2, 2020 Board of Selectmen meeting falls the night
before the election.
The Board agreed to make the March 2, 2020 meeting date tentative.
Ms. Barry expressed concern regarding scheduling a meeting directly after the Board and Staff
return from the Massachusetts Municipal Association (MMA) Conference in January in terms of
meeting preparation time needed.
The Board agreed to make the proposed January 27, 2020 meeting “light” and “if needed”.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to approve the future
meeting dates as amended.
The resulting list of amended future meeting dates has been appended to the end of these minutes.
11. Consider Resolution in Support of House Bill 2849/ Senate Bill 1940 - Act For Utility
Transition to Using Renewable Energy
Marcia Gens, Sustainable Lexington Committee, presented a request for the Board of Selectmen's
consideration regarding the approval of a resolution in support of the Act for Utility Transition to
Using Renewable Energy (FUTURE) House H.2849/Senate S.1940. The bill supports having gas
leaks be considered as part of a transition to a more renewable future.
Mr. Pato stated that the resolution is capturing what the Board of Selectmen has already done by
and large regarding concerns about gas leaks around Town, advocating for passage of the
principles enumerated in the bill, and the importance of the core concepts in the bill being passed
and brought into law.
Mr. Lucente stated that the resolution was requested at the last minute and would like more time
to gather information for requests in the future.
Ms. Barry asked why the topic was presented as a resolution to the Board and not in a letter of
support as is the usual custom. She also felt there was not enough backup information included
with the agenda packet but was able to find additional information online from a nearby
community that had already endorsed the issue.
David Kanter, Precinct 7 Town Meeting Member, inquired if there were anything in the language
of the act that would make some statement about the need for responsible response to fixing gas
leaks.
Mr. Pato stated that he is not aware of any language in the Board of Selectmen’s resolution or the
act regarding penalties.
Mr. Sandeen stated that the act is focused on providing a transition for the utility companies to
move from being gas providers to being heat providers. The act does ask utility companies to
review the cost that they would be spending in ratepayer money to repair and replace existing
infrastructure that is deteriorating and to compare that cost to the cost of transitioning to the district
heating services.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to approve the
resolution in support of House Bill 2849/Senate Bill 1940 - Act for Utility Transition to Using
Renewable Energy (FUTURE).
12. Selectmen Committee Appointments
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to appoint Cynthia
Arens to the Sustainable Lexington Committee with a term expiration date of September 30, 2022.
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to appoint Pamela
Lyons to the Transportation Advisory Committee with a term expiration date of September 30,
2022.
13. Accept the Terms of the Emily and Frank Smiddy Scholarship Fund
Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to accept the terms of
the Emily and Frank Smiddy Scholarship Fund that will be managed by the Trustees of Public
Trusts.
