1985.
Mr. Hutchinson summarized the background of the proposed ramp at Cary Handicapped
Hall for the.handicapped, funded under Article 56 of 1984,. and the current ramp, Cary
request under Article 5, for additional funding necessary for its construction.
He noted that the Selectmen in 1984 had approved a design with the entrance
via ramp at the front of the building. He pointed out restraints of the His -
tonic District Commission: placed on the Town, as well as the complicated bid-
ding requirements that must be met under Ch, 5798
He noted the wide variance between the only two bids received on the pro-
posal: $106,000 and $198,000, which he felt argued further for concerns about
rebidding the project. He recommended proceeding with the design presented by
Charles Hagenah, Architect, at a cost estimated by him to be $111,000,
Mr. Hagenah was introduced and presented features of .a front-entrance,
slip -proof granite. surfaced ramp. He felt that the front entrance, rather than
sid-- entrance with a lift for use by hendicapped was preferable in many respects.
He noted that the issues to be dealt with are State requirements which tend
to make the project expensive, and the disinterest of constractors in such a
public project. He felt the design proposed was a good one, and that it took
into consideration H.D.C. requirements, trees, shrubs and compatibility with the
existing building.
Discussion continued on the viability and comparative expense of a side-
entrance with a lift. In addition to construction costs for the lift ($70,000)
Mr. Hagenah noted that by State Code, it must always be supervised when in use
and would have to be opened and operated b an attendant. He again P y g stressed
that a front entrance would be the most appropriate way to enter the building,
which could be used by elderly and all handicapped, not only those in wheelchairs
as with a lift.
Mr. Michelson, Capital Expenditures Committee member, expressed concern
with the safety factor of having no railing at the platform level with the
door sills. Regarding the expense of staffing the lift, he felt the i -t could
be monitored by Town custodians.
In answer to questions to Mr. Hagenah about the cost of granite, vs.
concrete for the ramp, he estimated that the slip - -proof granits would.be $4,000
more than sand- blasted concrete. He noted that although the granite is not
required by the H.D.C., it would be preferred.
Motion was made and seconded to support Article 5.
Members of the Enablement Committee were present. Robert Harris expressed
strong pref erence.. f or a front entrant -e to the Hall for purposes of voting and
attendance at other functions. He felt that that concept afforded more dignity
and independence and was opposed to procedures involved in access by a lift. r
He could see no danger in the absence ' .of a railing 'around. the 6-foot platform
at the top of the ramp. Another Committee member noted that the interior of the
hall'is already accessible and also supported the front entrance.
Motion having been made and seconded, it was voted to support the motion
for Article -5, as presented.
Article 12 The Board considered its view on Article 12, Franklin School, inserted in
Franklin the Warrant at.the request of Mrs. Whyte.
School The article would amend Article 23 of 1985, which authorized conveyance of
the Franklin School to Greater Boston Community Development, Inc. (GBCD ),by in-
sertion of language intended to protect the Town from incurring debt through
the development of the Franklin School to residential use.
Lisa Alberghini and Louise Elving of GBCD were present for the discussion.
Mr. Cohen had submitted a revised draft Land D ispostion Agreement. It was
pointed out that additions had been made to the first draft prepared by GBCD „
in order to protect the interests of the Town.
Mr. Marshall said he was prepared to vote against Article 12. Mrs. Battin
and Mr. Eddison also said would not support the Article.
Mr. Dailey said he had not reached a decision on his view and would reserve
his opinion until discussion had taken place at the Town Meeting,
Mr. McLaughlin said he would like a poll of the Board on the matter at Town
Meeting.
Executive Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted by roll call vote 5 -- 0
Session Mr. Marshall, Mrs. Battin, Mr. McLaughlin, Mr. Eddison, Mr. Dailey, to go into

with the Board to submit current pl ans , revised to reflect concerns of. the grove land
Planning Board and Conservation Commission,. for development. of the Cosgrove
1 and. The development plans for Katandin. Woods Apartment's have been re-
designed with smaller buildings housing 128 units, rather than the originally
proposed 148, units. :
Mr. Caspar reviewed. detai ls of design and placement of the buildings,
unit breakdown layout o f ' the development and . parking provisions, There will
be 'a total of 26 units reserved for low income households. A number of
methods had been explored for ensuring that these units will continue to be
avail able to those with law income after the expiration of the lock -in period,
It was suggested by the developer that of these alternatives, the best method
would be to, sell one 24- --unit building and two townhouses - to the Town or its
designee such as the Lexington Housing Authority or LexHAB . The sale price
would be total development cost plus any tax consequence that might result f ram
the sale, unless a federal or state program is available at the time to assist
in the purchase of this type of unit at a market or near market price. In
that case, BIDC would assist the Town in securing such funding. If no such
program exists, and the Town purchases the units, BIDC would help, if necessary,
to subsidize the interest rate. BIDC would also offer to work with the Town
during the "lock' in" period in the tenant selection process.

Mr. Caspar said that the concerns of the Conservation Commission re:
the location through the center of the wetland area had been addressed by re-
location of the road. Fire Chief Bergeron's requirements had also been met.
It is not yet known whether the development will be condominiums or-
apartments. If condominiums, the developer agreed that it would be no problem
to scatter the low income units throughout the complex.
A "Five Year Operating - Budget Pro-Forma", a "Draft Preliminary Appl is at io n
for Mortgage Financing" and a "Summary of Estimated Project Costs' was distri-
buted to the Board and reviewed.
Mr. - Ullian. referred to a Traf f is Study by BSC Engineering. He noted that
a traffic light at wood Street had not been recommended in that study, but that
that aspect will be explored. The probable impact on Bedford Street traffic
was also noted and discussed.
Mr. Ullian informed the Board that the Cosgrove house will be preserved and
will be moved to an adjacent lot,
Joyce Miller, Chairman of the Conservation Commission, and member Joel Adler;
William Spencer, Housing Authority; Ellie Kl auminzer, Housing Needs Advisory
Committee were present.
Mr. Spencer commented that the mix now proposed is an improvement but in
the light o f the Muz zey development, L exHAB and the Housing Authority feel. that
the larger units should be stressed.
Mrs. Miller also saw good progress and asked if Mr. Ullian plans to meet
with her Commission* He responded that he will do so when definitive plans are
complete at the end of December. He will also apply to the Board of Appeals at
that time.
Discussion followed on such issues as the unit mix, buffers from conservation
land and mina:rity .position of the Town in any condo association regarding the 26
low income units vs the 102 market rate unit owners.
Mr. Hutchinson noted that the Planning Board has asked for a review of the MEN
financial aspects of the development, when this information has been developed.
The efforts of the developer in trying to address concerns and areas of
interest of the Town was acknowledged. Mr. Ullian thanked the Board for the
opportunity to present his p ropo sal .
Mrs. Battin Mrs. Battin announced that she does not plan to run for reelection at the
expiration of her fourth term as Selectman.
