7 :30 p.m. Chairman Eddison, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Dailey, Mrs. Smith, Mr.
McSweeney; Mr. Ryan, Act Town - Manager; Mr. Cohen, Town Counsel; Mrs.
Snow, Executive Clerk, were present.
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.

1998 NOISE EXPOSURE LEVELS HANSCOM FIELD
The Chairman explained that Mrs. Smith would not be present for
discussion of Ha scorn Noise Exposure Level, because of her involvement
with Massport.
Joyce Hals of Massport introduced Robert H of Harris Miller
±filler & Hanson, Inc. Consultants, to review the firm's findings as
presented in its report "1986 Noise Exposure Levels at�L.C. 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

Mr. Willer explained noise mojlitoring systems used in other
airports and procedure= for implementing noise control i.e. use
restrictions.
} F'et Barker, Le,,x i ngton representative on the Hanscom Advisory
I
Commission, disagreed with Masspor theoretical approach to
no �. se control vs a utual monitoring. He noted that the sample
moni Poring referred to +s being carried on during a low act ivity month.
H also disagreed abort me th ods used for measuring a+ t. rude .
-2-
He objected to the results of the report which, he said, do not
address expressed prob?ems relative to increase in late night
operations, and increase in iet operations which generate more noise.
He stated the H,F.A.C's position which is to urge actual monitoring to
produce hard data.
Joyce Hals acknowledged that during the last few months, noise
complaints had increased, probably due to more late afternoon and late
evening flights. She noted the need to explore casts of actual
monitoring before embarking on such a program.
Mr. Eddison thanked Mr. Mi11er, Ms. Hals and Mr. Barker for their
attendance and for the information provided .

discussion of the Town's role in response to the Trust request for
fi�:anuial assistan e. He said he wanted to make it clear that the

sought and that steps should be taken to finish th a pro = ect now. �:e
saw progress with resolution of tie roof and heating problems but

�r
r
Selectmen's Meeting -3_ July 20, 1937
Mr. Eddison said that it was apparent that no decisions could be

when costs f -or the work has been established.
- Mr. Marshall asked Mr. Cohen t€s - explore ways of modifying the deed
restriction to allow for recovery by unit owners upon resale of an
assessment for construction costs.
r
ijEXHAB, AFFORDABLE HCUS1NG
Mr. Edd i son referred to the hiring of professional staff to assist
LexHAL to enlarge its role in the provision of affordable housing. He
felt that at this point, short term help on a consultant basis would be
appropriate. Mr. Hays offered to again review with the Board LexHAB's
V mytri memo ? i st + ng alternative approaches for
construction/renovation of housing, to establish the type and /or
location of housing to be pursued. He felt that this step should be
taken before the h i r i ng of staff.
Mr. days referred to the need to move swiftly on the matter but
noted affordability as an important aspect. He pointed out that LexHAE
takes not only income, but assets into consideration in tenant
" selection and .felt that some who are looking for housing may be
disappointed because their assets exceed the allowable levees
He reported on offers of assistance and inquiries LexHAE is
receiving: -
Choate /Symmes, inquiring as to how best discharge its
responsibilities in conjunction with affordable housing; a request from
The Lexington Committee on Special Needs, to assist younger, special
needs people; a letter from a tenant of Emerson Gardens, offering her
assistance to LexHAE: Mr. Hays spoke of a meeting scheduled with the
Planning Board's Housing Needs Advisory Committee and a meeting held
with Steve Baran, Human Services Coordinator, and the in =itiator of the
"Cushman" proposa]" for equity sharing.
Mrs. Smith noted that initially, LexHA*B had been formed to deal
with the Muzzey development, but that she felt its real role would be
to see itself as developer and manager of all public housing in 1
with the exception of the Housing Authority's facilities. She
suggested the appointment i ntmen t of a :Hogs i ng Administrator to act as a
coordinator for all efforts now being made by mown agencies and private
organ+ zat i ons .} a urged the h i r i ng of professional help for Le �. HAE
now*
Mr. i son saw the need for informal couf erences with Le �, GAB Ord "
procedures and cth er points raised before its ne.. t appo i n tmenr t with the
Selectmen.
Mrs. Gaude - asked f the criteria used for Muzzey se1e1._%.ti3O sh ou .d
be used with other pro eots. Mr. Mars?;ali responded that he saw no
reed to change the guidelines used for Muzzey and Frank+ i n , we saw
the need for a def +nit:. on of the term "af f ordabi e" and fell= that asset
tests would he needed.
Mr. Smith agreed that thn same criteria should be app.ied to a1.1
Town housing devei opment"s .
M4C
Mr. Eddison said that although it wouyd require Town Meeting
action to release schoo�. sites, he felt that exploration of sites
should be proceeded with now. Mr. Marshall was in favor of including
Munroe School in those to- be considered..
Mr. Dailey requested LexHAE to inform the Selectmen if it was felt
that its charge needs-to be broadened. Mr. Edd i son asked Mrs t Smith
and Mr. Marshall to work informally with LexHA$ on moving "staffing"
along=
Mrs. Smith referred to the Planning Director's memo of July g, +n
which steps to be taken by the Planning Board were outlined, for site
identification and selection for low /moderate or mixed income housing,
as required under Article 50, 1987 ATM. She urged that the Selectmen
engage in similar efforts and thought processes to complv w i th the
directive of Town Meeting.
