Selectmen's Meeting -3- December 18, 1885
Leases will expire in 1888 and it was thought that by that time, it
will.be known if any increase in school population would cause a need for
Town use of Munroe or Hastings Schools.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to endorse the leasing
arrangements for the Munroe School as proposed by the Town Manager, and to
approve extension of the lease to February, 1888.
TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
Mr. Eddison expressed the strong appreciation of the Board for the
effective work of the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee in investigating and
recommending on the many traffic safety issues with which the Board must
deal. Chairman Peter Chalpin and Eric Clarke of the Committee were present,
at the Board's invitation for acknowledgement of -the Committee's assistance
and service.
EAST LEXINGTON TRAFFIC SIGNALS
Mr. Chalpin reviewed the preliminary studies of the Traffic Committee
on the feasibility of installation of traffic signals on Mass. Avenue at its
intersections with Marrett Road, Maple Street, and Pleasant Street. The
Committee recommended against these installations based on accident
statistics at intersections with comparable volume which are signalized and
which have a higher accident rate than the four noted above. It -was noted
that State Warrants for Maple Street, Pleasant Street and Marrett Road were
satisfied and would allow for- the installations -but the Committee saw no
advantage to be gained in safety or convenience by signalizing these three
intersections None of the Traffic Signal Warrants were satisfied at Taft
Avenue for either vehicular or pedestrian signals.
The Traffic Committee again recommended replacement of pedestrian
signals at the East Lexington Library for improved visibility to motorists
and safety to pedestrians.
Mr. Marshall disputed the rationale of comparing signalized and
unsignalized intersections and basing the recommendation on that factor. He
noted that Warrants had been met and felt that the problems on Mass. Avenue
would be partially resolved by traffic signals to change the flow of
traffic.
Dr. Clarke noted that area residents present at the Traffic Meeting had
seemed -to fee]. that improvements to the Library signals was more necessary
than signali_zation at other locations.
Upon notion duly made and seconded, it was voted 4 to 1 to accept the
recommendations of the Traf f i c- Safety Advisory Committee on proposed traf f i c
signal installations and improvements in total, as previously stated$ Mr.
Marshall voted in the negative.
Owft A Warrant Article for the 1887 Annual Town Meeting will be prepared to
request funding of the signal improvements at the East Lexington Library.
LEXINGTON CENTER FIRE
Robert Bowyer, Planning Director, was present to spear on the zoning
and development implications of the November 80th fire in Lexington Center.
Regarding rebuilding, he noted choices to be made under the Zoning By-
Laws
, 4
The owner can rebuild with the same floor area and for similar types of uses
with no penalty for insufficient parking. The concept of building a two -
story building, allowed under the Zoning By -Taw, was discussed. In that
case, the building wound be treated as a new building and off- street parking
must be provided for the whole building. He had talked briefly with the
owners and they had mentioned a two -story building with underground parking,
permitted by the Zoning By --Taw. He pointed out the problem of a ramp needed
for such parking, the space it would take from the public parking lot and
the interference with loading and service whiah could be caused. He thought
it likely that some off -lot parking spaces would have to be provided, which
the Zoning By --Taw allows anywhere in the CB District. Since there is not
much privately owned space for parking elsewhere in the Center, he felt the
most logical approach would be to work out an _ arrangement .with the l'cwn
relative to the adjacent public parking lot. Because existing Town - owned
spaces cannot be used to meet zoning requirements for new construction he
felt it would mean a multi -level parking structure on the adjoining Town
lot, a joint venture between property owners and the Town. He noted his
experience with similar projects some of which 1 been successful, and
described several types of structures which might be considered. Tisting
the benefits of a parking structure, he pointed out the need to increase
parking spaces in the Center: removal _ of curb --side spaces to reduce traffic %now
problems; and its prime location near the stores.
He was confident that the problem of aesthetics could be solved and
outlined possible means of financing the pro -ject,under a Town/owner
arrangement. He spoke briefly about the architectural scale of development,
noting that a parking garage would tend to encourage even more development
in the Center. He saw the construction over time of two -story buildings
from Edison Way to the Harvard Trust driveway as a possibility;
Mr. Bowyer noted two major hurdles in addition to financing:
timing/staging and feasibility studies. He felt that any construction
dealing with the whole lot would best be broken into 2 or 3 stages. He
suggested the best short term route would be to design a two - -story building
with underground parking and building one story, adaptable later for
expansion.
Regarding feasibility studies, he estimated at least $50,404 for
engineering, legal work, architectural and financial analysis.
He concluded by saying there were several choices and policy decisions
to be made: i} si.mp?y rebuild the existing building, 2) a' cooperative joint
venture between the- Town and the owners, which would require decision on
what type of parking structure; building in stages or a? 1 at once;. h.ow to
finance; the extent of design review of the new building and the role of
other private sector interests in the Center. He saw all of these options
permitted within the general parameters of the Zoning By -Taw.
Mr. Bowyer stressed that his presentation had been an outline of
alternative and choices and that he was not necessarily recommending pro or
con on construction of a parking garage, adding that that w i l-2. be a decision
of elected officials and the Town Meeting.
Mr. Marshall asked if there would be any procedure whereby the owners
could seek rezoning to CD uistri^t, which does not have pre - determined
standards for development.
r �
Selectmen s Meeting December -16 1 986
Mr. Bowyer pointed ou that it could he considered spot zoning and
questioned the need to rezone when reconstr is procedurally possible
under the Zoning Eby- -Let ,.i without e re. -Lon i rig. Issues involved in such a
procedure were described by Mr. Bowyer.
David Wells referred to the development options not earlier and sail...
th it ir, € as h is i t t w ere no o ption s avai la b le except to
rebui Id exactly as before. If expanded, parking requirements would have to
be m et which he felt tr. .jas. r , C , t possible since no space in Ce" Districts exists..
Mr. Mar shall felt that unless the matter was brought to Town Meeting
there would be no options, as Mr. Wells had said. He saw it as an
opportunity for improvement in the Center and recommended that thought
should be given t o that procedure in the next two or three weeks .
Mrs. Smith felt that the owners should provide plane to react to and
should proceed through normal channels .
M r. Abrams, owner of the property, noted that it t difficult to
submit a pla at this time when procedural measures a c onstrai n t s a re
still unknown. He said he would like to imp what had been and work t " #i th
whatever restrictions exist. Mrs.. Ba t t i n , Chairman of the Zex i n 3 t o n Center
Commi ttee, offered the assistance of an L. C.C. Sub- comri -tit tee formed for that
purpose.
Mr. Eddi s.on noted the time constraint, with the Warrant closing on
,€�► December 30, hu t it was suggested that space for are A r t i c l e can be reserved
before that date of the closing without completion of the-specifics.
Because bf the importance of the prod ect , it was thought that Town a9enci es. - - _
sho coordi efforts to assist in the procedure.
Mr. Wells sa id he tta s impressed h1i the sp i r - i t c! f c, er a ` i o n. shown b j
t o t,� ;n erd . H e f e t t he t r agedv 'o f t he f i r e- w�ict u I d b e ev erg = -icy r se i t t he
buildings were replaced as t he had been an t hat the owners should be ,:; i v en
all help possible with their plan to construct an attractive building +hat
will he a credit to the Town for years to come.
Mr. Cohen referred to the proposed plans of the owners to have the
building constructed and occupied by nee t Fall and said that under
procedures required for zon i nQ amendments, it would not be possible to meet
that deadline.
M r. Marshall felt that an Article regarding a park i nq structure should
he on the Warrant, possibly with two alternative sets of plans., to qi ve time
to develop options..
Upon mo ti o n duly made and seconded, it was v oted to reserve s.p ace i
the Warrant for the 19.7 Annual Town Meeting for a rezoning article for the
Mass. Avenue bu i ldi pia destroyed bk) fire, and are article relative to
