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-
toric District Commission placed on the Town, as well as the complicated bid-
ding requirements that must be met under Ch. 579.
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 byan attendant. He again stressed
g
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 it could
mow
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 preference for a front entrance 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.
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 Dispostion Agreement. It was
pointed out that additions had been made to the first draft prepared by GBCD mos
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
Executive Session for discussion of matters of land acquisition, with no intent

is not known at this time. Mass. Municipal Association's request for the

Mr. Eddison agreed to review the petition to the Board of Appeals of Bd/Appeals -

Mr. Ullian and Mr. Caspar of Boston Investment Development Company met BIDC --- Cos-
with
os-
with the Board to submit current plans, revised to reflect concerns of the grove land
Planning Board and Conservation Commission, for development of the Cosgrove
land. The development plans for Katandin Woods Apartments have been re-
designed with smaller buildings housing 128 units, rather than the originally
proposed 148 units.
Mr. Caspar reviewed details of design and placement of the buildings ,
unit breakdown layout of 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
available to those with low 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 from
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
pms
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 r e:
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 um.
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 Application
for Mortgage Financing" and a "Summary of Estimated Project Costs" was distri-
buted to the Board and reviewed.
Mr. Ullian referred to a Traffic 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 Mil ler, Chairman of the Conservation Commiss ion, and member Joel Adler;
William Spencer, Housing Authority; Ellie Ni auminzer, Housing Needs Adviso ry
Committee were present.
Mr. Spencer commented that the mix now proposed is an improvement but in
the light of the Mu z 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 minority position of the Town in any condo association regar ding 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 mil
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 proposal.
Mrs. Battin Mrs. Battin announced that she does not plan to run for reelection at the
expiration of her fourth term as Selectman.

reportedon lack of applications for Arts Lottery funding by Lexington Lex.Visual
visual artists and proposed a competition to commission a work of art by a Arts
Lexington artist for the Town of Lexington. It was felt that this procedureProject
would publicize the Lottery process and thereby encourage artists to make
applications; would expose the pubic to the work of a local artist and the
artist to the Lexington public and would acquire quality contemporary
artwork for the Town.
As a site preference for the permanent display, Mrs. Brandin mentioned
the foyer of the Town Office Building near the entry door. She outlined
mechanisms for selection of the winner of the competition by a 3-member
committee (a Selectman and two art professionals) and application for Mass.
Arts Lottery funds to commission the work of art.
There was discussion on the need for some flexibility in designating
the display as permanent, based on public response. Based on the notation
in the proposal, stating that if no proposals seem suitable, it would be
understood that possibly no stipends or final award will be made. It was
agreed that the needed flexibility was implied.
Mr. Eddison, as Selectman Liaison to the Arts Council, agreed to serve
obi
on the Selection Committee.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the
Lexington Visual Artists Commission Project, as presented.
A revised draft of the Land Disposition Agreement for the Franklin Land Di s!
School dated December 6, 1985, was noted by the Chairman. David Rogers of Agreemen
Palmer & Dodge, Lisa Alberghini and Stephen Ti se of Greater Boston Community Franklin
Development (GBCD) were present for review of the draft. School
Mr. Rogers reported that GBCD and MHFA had reached agreement on major
points in the Agreement. Mr. Cohen recommended that since the MHFA closing
would take place on the coming Friday, it was necessary that the Agreement
be signed that evening. He pointed out the extensive work done by Mr.
Rogers on the document.
In response to the Chairman's request for descriptions of modifications
made in the Agreement since the last review, Mr. Rogers listed the
following:
. The Town's rights are subordinated to the MHFA mortgage, but the Town
and MHFA both have the same interests with respect to affordable
housing.
. If the Developer can not find moderate income tenants, units can be
rented while qualified tenants are being sought.
. The time for the Town to approve change orders was shortened.
. The Town must approve any signs to be installed, including the MHFA
aim sign.
• GBCD monthly reports to MHFA will satisfy reporting requirements to
the Town since they are more detailed than required by the Town.
. The Town has the right to exercise a stock option, with a mechanism f
for that procedure to be worked out. Possibly LexHAB will be
designated to exercise the option.
mime
-4-
Board members questioned the right to exercise the option only in years
6 and 7. GBCD will look into having years 6 and 7 and 14 and 15,
designated. Mr. Dailey recommended this right to exercise be available once
a year between years 6 and 15.
The net worth requirement appearing in Exhibit H was discussed. Under
current law, it would appear that LexHAB and the Housing Authority would
both meet the requirements.
Ms. Alberghini explained the need for a purchase price of $39,000 in
year 50 is necessary to demonstrate that there is an actual sale, rather
than a lease. In return, GBCD will pay for the deed stamps ($800 - $900) at
the closing.
With regard to the requirement that the Town must react within 14 days
to requests for material external changes, it was noted that the Town can
request an additional 14 days but must give reasons for a negative decision.
There was discussion on procedures for selecting a successor developer.
It was agreed that the Town has sufficient control over the process.
The building will be taxed at a valuation set by the Board of Assessors
when the facility is completed. In the interim, there will be a payment in
lieu of taxes based on a $390,000 value.
Ms. Alberghini reported on a meeting with area residents two weeks
previously for review of the planting plan which showed locations, spacing
and caliper of trees and choice of types of plants, which had appeared to
mow
please the neighbors. The Planning Director had also reviewed the plan.
Details of a lighting plan including light output, design, placement
were outlined. Neither the neighbors nor the Planning Director had seen any
problem with the plan as presented.
Regarding the elevation of the building facing Allen Street, the design
of which had been of concern to the neighbors, Ms. Alberghini reported that
after conversation and explanation, an understanding appears to have been
reached.
Ms. Alberghini and Mr. Tise were complemented on efforts made to
cooperate with the area residents.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve and sign a
Land Disposition Agreement with Greater Boston Community Development, Inc.
relative to the conversion to residential use of the Franklin School,
provided that said agreement shall not be delivered by Town Counsel until
negotions are completed with respect to the terms set forth in Section 3.1
and Exhibit "H" of the agreement.
It was also voted to execute a Deed, conveying the Franklin School
property to Greater Boston Community Development, Inc. , also subject to the
same proviso as stated above.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve a plan
entitled "Planting Plan, Franklin School Apartments" by Tise Wilhelm, and
Associates, dated December 9, 1985, and a plan entitled "Site
Layout/Lighting Plan, Franklin School Apartments by Tise Wilhelm, and
Associates, dated December 9, 1985, as required under the provisions of a
