PUBLIC HEARING BOSTON EDISON WALNUT ST. CONDUIT The Chairman opened a Public Hearing on the petition of the Boston Edison Company for approval of the installation of conduit in Walnut Street. Edward Chisholm, representing the Edison Company, was present to explain the need for the work to service 4 new houses. He pointed out the locations-of the houses on a map of the site. There being no statements in favor or in opposition to the proposal, Mr. Eddison declared the hearing - closed. - Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the petition, plans and orders of Boston Edison Company to obtain a grant of location to install conduit to provide electrical service for 4 houses in the following location: Walnut Street - northwesterly approximately 1,124 feet southwest of Concord Avenue, a distance of about 30 feet, The vote was subject to the condition, as recommended by the Dept. � Of Pub-1 i c Works, that one half of the - roadway be kept open at all time_ s during the installation work. LEXHAB MUZZEY CONDO BOARD of TRUSTEES William Hays, Chairman, and LexHAB members Jean Gaudet and Dav Eagle, members of the Muzzey Condominium Bd. of Trustees, and Attorney Nicholas Kelley, representing the Trustees, were present for discussion of construction defaults at Muzzey. Mr. Kelley listed defects which are affecting the residents such as roof leaks, faulty windows, sewage backup, and the recently discovered presence of asbestos. It was noted that the asbestos seems to he limited to 2 common areas but that the question of whether residue is falling near air ducts is being explored. Mr. Kelley referred to problems with the HVAC system which could be caused by lack of insulation and lack of weather tightness. The system is being studied in an effort to resolve the problem of inadequate heat and air conditioning. He listed optio =ns for remedying the heating problems in the Senior Center such as installation of a false skylight and gave solutions suggested in the Simpson, Gumpers report for resolution of the window and screen malfunctions. Regarding funding for the construction repairs, Mr. Kelley presented alternatives, if residents are to be responsible for the co =t of the work. He noted the financial burdens to moderate income families of assessments or borrowing, adding that litigation against the developer has been considered but would be a long term procedure. He felt that the roof and heating improvements should be addressed as quickly as possible. Y He saw the Town as a source of financial relief and assistance to unit owners, and pointed out the existing cap on resale prices which would not allow owners to pass along such expenses. Mr. Marshall asked for current data on the - incomes of unit owners. He saw a need for clarification of the scope of assistance and exactly what LexHAB wants from the Town. He felt that units owners, i ncluding the Town, should assume financial responsibility but did not see the Town in the role of a banker, loaning the necessary funds. Mr. Kelley said that Kirk Noyes is aware of the problems - listed, but feels that he has no further responsibility in their resolution. Mr. Dailey felt that at this point, litigation is not an answer to the roof and window problems which need attention before the winter season. He felt that the Trustees should go out for bids now. In addition to the Town's portion of expenses, he saw a figure of $3.00,000, which would mean a payment of $5,000 per unit. He suggested a payment schedule amortized offer 10 or 20 years , resulting i n a f a i r? y - low cost per year to owners and which he was within reason. He asked if this - could be managed by the owners. Mr. Kelley said that some could handle a nominal payment easily but that others would be severely impacted. He pointed out that the units had been offered to moderate income purchasers as affordable housing in the fairly recent past. Mr. Marshall agreed with Mr. Dailey regarding timing of repayment of a $5,000 loan to cause as little hardship as possible. He also 'saw the possibility of - adjustments to allow for recovery at resale. He felt that the Town should assume its fair share but pointed out that the residents are there on an ownership basis and saw no_ob .1igation for the Town to assume the complete cost. He also saw litigation as worthy of pursuit and agreed that bids should go out now for the work. Mrs. Smith strongly concurred. Mr. Eddison suggested that information be gathered as to which specific are severely affected by problems and saw the possibility of spot repairs to those particular units. Mr. Hays spoke for LexHAB as Muzzey administrators which feels that the Town does have a degree of financial responsibility in the situation. In response to Mr. Marshall's comment that $500/year would not break owners, he said that it would cause great hardship for some. He saw the need for financial aid from the Town., Mr. Edd i son asked that L e�: HAB develop specific information on what is wanted from the Town and scheduled f urt] discussion of the matter at the July 20th meeting, LEXHABIAFFORDABLE HOUSING LesHAB's role in progress with provision of af fordable housing was discussed. Mr. Edd i son noted the formation of are advocacy group in Precinct 1, including Emerson Gardens tenants, which has requested the formation of a new housing committee to deal with the conversion /eviction problem at Emerson Gardens. He noted that it is the Board's stand that Lei: �'.AB is the appropriate agency to act in that capacity. Selectmen's Meeting -B- July 16 1 987 Mr. Hays said that at this point, LexHAB is not equipped or `"' s taffed to handle an assi gnment of that nature. Staffin up h as been d ' s • and t he tentative conclusion reached was that it wo uld be � dt _ cU _ e necessary to know the type of housing being considered bef the le vel and ki of s t a f f i n g can b e established Mr. Ha di a memo to the Board listing 5 alternative approaches for construct i on /renovat ion of housing, pointing out that #B is preferred by his Board with LexHAS engaging both an archi sect and a developer/consultant and-then proceeding- either item #1 or *2. Under *1, LexHAB wo-u l d act as own developer, retaining an a r c h i t e c t and sub-contracting the various parts of the project. Under *2, LexHAB would engage an architect but places all of t i re wo rk, i the h ands of a single main contractor. He said that hi Board would be pleased to return on Ju 20 for further discussion of the matter. Mr. Marshall referred to the presence of as best os at e fu z z e�) a nd the degree of publicity its d i sco v er V had generated. . He hoped that the successful resolution of the problem and the fact that the situation is much better than originally feared would be given equal coverage bu the Minute Mrs. Smith asked for further in f o rmation o n t Man r .. u nit, which had been menti e a r l i e r . Mrs. Bau de t said t it i owned h f: the Co ndo Association but that th ere i question as to whether that unit, intended to house the Manager, is restricted or unrestricted. The possibility of using the unit as collateral for a loan had been consi dered. 'i cou b e sold for $?0,000, but now is used for income.

Hanscom Field ", Mr. Miller distributed informational. material. entitled "Metrics Used to describe the Noise Environment at Hanscom Field" and a series of charts showing average daily departures over 12 month intervals 1994 - 1998; average daily EX. for all aircraft 1994 - 1996; and annual changes to EXP (average da i ? y noise exposure) from 1978 - 1986 and rev the data wi th the Bard . He defined terms such as L ma x (maximum level), EEL (sound exposure level) Ldn (day night average sound level, and EXP (average daily -noise exposure) and reported on methods of tracking noise and estimating noise exposure and on efforts to keep track of changes in L DN contours; He explained the administrative difficulties in keeping track of and including small aircraft operations in the noise data and the means now being used to estimate the impact of these departures and landings. He pointed out a decrease in larger than single engine aircraft operations in the period from December 1994 to December 1986, adding that there has been a reduction of noise by military aircraft but that ci noise exposure had stayed fairly level. He referred t EXP trends from year to year since formal Passport tracking had begun j.n 1979, which showed that the combined EXP, including estimates for single engine aircraft, was down in 1995 because of the reduction in m i l i tar y f In that overall period, however, there had been a sl i gilt l nLorea r This year, to arrive at a better wa of dealing with noise from small e'ng ne l r raft and In response to citizen concerns , Massport l i s c0nduckingan actual count of small engine a 4 .6 rCraf t 1Jh !. s summer carri out by interns hired for that purpose.
