Building, at 7:80 p.m. Chairman Eddison, Mr. Marshall, Mrs. Smith, Mr.
McSweeney; Ms. Adler, Acting Town Manager; Mr. Cohen, Town Counsel;
Mrs, Snow, Executive Clerk, were present. Mr. Dailey joined the

ADJOURNED PUBLIC HEARING. BOSTON GAS COMPANY, WOOD STREET
The Chairman opened the adjourned Public Hearing on the petition
of the Boston Gas Company for permission to install gas main in Wood
Street. Mr. Spiers, Director of Public Works, explained that the
extension of the existing gas. main was necessary to provide service for
Katandin Woods Apartments. He reported that the wording of the
petition has been revised and now agrees with the diameter of the pipe
as shown on the plans. He recommended approval of the petition.
There being no other comments in favor or in opposition, Mr.
Eddison declared the hearing closed. .
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the
revised petition, plan and order of the Boston Gas Company to obtain
permission to install 450 feet of 8 inch gas main in Wood Street.
Mr. Dailey joined the meeting at this time.
AAA PEDESTRIAN SAFETY AWARD
Police Chief Paul Furdon and Patrolman Ronald Wells were present
to inform the Board of the award by the American Automobile Association
to Lexington for having had no pedestrian fatalities in the Town during
calendar year 1988.
Chief Furdon explained the work done by Patrolman Wells in the
schools and in coordination with the Lexington Center Committee to
promote pedestrian safety. Patrolman Wells explained the focus of his
talks to students, adding that he hopes to help to again bring the
award to Lexington for 1987.
Mr. Eddison asked for an explanation of figures received which
showed a high Lexington accident rate in 1984 and 1985. The Chief
explained that those figures reflected all personal injuries, including
those occurring on Rtes 128 and 2. These figures had come down in
1985.
Mr. Eddison suggested excluding those two state routes from
Lexington's safety record, because of the Town's non - involvement in
maintenance and patrolling.
FAIR HOUSING COMMITTEE
Gerri Weathers, Chairman of the Fair Housing Committee was present
to acquaint the Selectmen with details of the Fair Housing Action Plan
and plans for a Fair Housing Forum, to be held on December 2nd. Ms.
Weathers outlined regional and local objectives in FY87 and FY88, and
reported on the activities of her Committee during the past year.
Major objectives of the Committee are as follows= to adopt a
regional view in relation to abutting communities and urban center for
the SMSA ;
to coordinate community resources in relation to current fair housing
concerns; to obtain and disseminate information to Lexington residents.
Mrs. Smith stated that the Town is fortunate to have Ms. Weathers
as Chairman, working with Stave Baran, Human Services Coordinator
towards revitalization of the Fair Housing Committee's efforts. She
saw Lexington's role as bringing this whole area together to deal with
housing issues.
BETTERMENT RATE PHILIP ROAD
Ms. Adler noted that reconstruction of Philip Road will be among
items considered in the capital budget process= per DPW, the scope of
work necessary will be substantially less than first estimated and it
was suggested that the assessment to abuttors be $29.48 per front foot,
which would be significantly less than if calculated at a 80% recovery
rate (@$83.11Jft.).
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve a
betterment assessment of $28.48 per frontage foot for reconstruction
work on Philip Road. Mr. Marshall noted that he would not want the
lower betterment rate for the Philip Road project to in any way affect
the calculations for betterments on other streets.
APPOINTMENT TO YOUTH COMMISSION
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the
appointment by the Acting Town Manager of Joseph O'Leary to the
Lexington Youth Commission, for a term to expire on April 6, 18808
AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEXT MOVES
Mr. Eddison reviewed his proposal for further progress with the
Selectmen's goal of expanding the stock of affordable housing in
Lexington. He asked that the Acting Town Manager be authorized to
initiate the necessary steps to form a Lexington Housing Partnership
a means of becoming part of the Mass. Housing Partnerhip (MHP) and to
investigate the possibility of obtaining the professional services of
housing coordinator for the Town to work under the supervision of the
Planning Director. He outlined the responsibilities of such a
position.
Mr. Marshall saw the need for a permanent staff person, rather
than a consultant, since it appears that the need for additional
affordable housing will be ongoing, Mr. Eddison reported on
a
information from the Planning Director about the difficulties in hiring
a coordinator on a permanent basis at this time and that he had
recommended the engaging of a consultant as the wisest course.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to request the
Acting Town Manager to proceed with steps as outlined above, as a means
toward expanding the stock of affordable housing in the Town.
MINUTES
Upon motion du?y made and seconded, it was voted to approve as
presented the minutes of the Selectmen's Meeting on September 18,
1387.

Selectmen's Meeting -3- October 19, 1997
RECONSTRUCTION OF BEDFORD STREET
George Burnell, Chairman of the North Lexington Road Improvement
Stud Committee was present for discussion of plans for improvement to
Y r 's conditional Bedford Street and the State approval of 25% design plans
for the p roject. He had met with the North Lexington Association who
had been unanimously opposed to the caveat regarding the potential
closing of the cut - through to Eldred Street. The Association had voted
to support a "no- build" concept for Bedford Street.
The Road Study Committee had voted 6 - 2 in opposition to
proceeding with the project, in the light of the State's condition that
the median cut - through could be closed if five or more accidents
occurred there within a year, The Committee felt that if there proves
to be a safety problem at that location, the State should install
traffic signals. A final vote of the Committee would favor cancelling
the P roject unless the State would agree to the signalization concept.
Iris Wheaton, Precinct Y Town Meeting Member Chairman, had
informed her members of the Road Study Committee's position. Precinct
7 Town Meeting members had unanimously opposed pursuing the States plan
and would vote for "no-bu i 1 d N in preference. She requested no change
to Bedford Street, retaining the status quo.
Deborah Kearney, reported that the North Lexington Association
opposed the State's condition and urged that the Selectmen inform the
Mass. DPW that the project be cancelled.
Larry Smith of the Traffic Improvement Committee stated that the
business community is strongly in favor of improvement of Bedford
Street and is not ready to throw in the towel. He noted that traffic
conditions have already worsened in the area and that travel time and
safety are the major problems of commuters. Mr. Dailey observed that a
traffic booth might help move traffic through more effectively.
Richard Cooke, Boston Survey Consultants, responded to a question
on impact on alternate roads if the project is cancelled. He felt that
Bedford Street would stay about the same for the next 4 - 5 years, with
use of other routes i.e. 495 likely and heavier traffic on back roads.
Mr. Marshall said he had been struck over the years by the State's
lack of concern for views of the Town and would send the State's plan
back as a broken agreement.
Mr. Eddison said he was not ready to abandon the concept of
traffic signals and felt that final decision should not be made that
night. He was in favor of again communicating with the State that
without the light, no solution seemed possible.
Sally Castleman of the Road Study Committee agreed with
suggestions for a more moderate solution and hoped that the State would
consider improvements of a lesser scope, rather than an 'all or
nothing" plan.
Motion was made that the Chairman and Town Manager prepare a draft
response to the State stating that the Town will accept only a plan
p
with signalization at Eldred Street and that would be the only basis
for agreement to the State's condition. A meeting of local and State
officials on the matter will be requested=
Mrs. Smith noted that the State would be delighted with a "no-
build" decision, but questioned whether that course of action would
endanger progress with Marrett Road.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Ms. Adler reported that she had filed the Mass. Housing Partnerhip

She reported on issues that had arisen at her meeting with Bob
Bowyer and Bob Engler, consultant, who is proposing to work with the
Planning Director in the preparation of a housing concept plan for
presentation to the 1988 Town Meeting. Such a plan would include
selection of a Town owned site, the type of housing planned and a
preliminary financi4l scheme. Ms. Adler noted that Mr. Engler had been
involved in negotiations on housing projects in Lexington and other now
communities and has considerable experience in working on developments
funded by state programs. Other applicants for the consulting work are
also being considered
The planning staff has begun work on analysis of school sites,
which a consultant would carry on and complete. Ms. Adler asked if all
six school sites should be focussed on or if at some point,
determination can be made to eliminate the least desirable locations.
Mr. Marshall suggested a process whereby a concept plan for
development and a request to convey land would be presented to the 1988
Town Meeting, with a possible Special Town Meeting in the fall of
1988, for any rezoning necessary. Mr. Dailey referred to neighborhood
reaction when a site is selected and felt that quite specific plans for
the chosen site should be ready at that time.
Mr. Eddison doubted that the proposal would be far enough along
for the Spring Town Meeting, but felt that information on progress with
the project should be given. He noted the scope of work to prepare sir
well thought out plans and said that he would prefer to have priorities
developed for one site to bring to Town Meeting. He was in favor of
site selection without full details for each site,
Mr. Eddison and Mrs. Smith felt that reconstruction of the Munroe
School should not be among the first projects considered for providing
affordable housing since it would provide a relatively small number of
apartments while displacing Arts /Lexington for which there was no other
suitable location in the Town. Mr. Marshall and Mr. Dailey felt that
its present rental use should not preclude consideration of housing use
at Munroe. Mr. McSweeney stated that he would he in favor of new
construction i . e . Franklin School townhouses.
Ms. Adler will explore costs and time involved in developing
information on each of the sites and what level of detail would be
necessary for the Selectmen to make a choice among them.
Selectmen's Meeting -3- October s, 1987
EMERSON GARDENS TENANTS ASSOCIATION
Mr. Eddison reported on the meeting of the Emerson Gardens Tenants
Association co- sponsored by the Selectmen. on October 21st, at which
the " cInt " ap proach to construction of affordable housing was
M Y re a
presented.
Condominium units, built by Mr. McIntyre on town - donated land,
could be sold for $77,400 to $89,OO8, or somewhat higher priced if
there were land costs. Factors in the low price structure were: free
or cheap land, low cost financing and overhead costs absorbed by the
Bricklayers Union. Units could be made available on a rental basis only
through Town purchase of condo units and subsequest rentals through a
Town agency.
Mr. Eddison felt the proposal should be given consideration when
other approaches are being entertained.
