STREET LIGHTING Peter Kovner, Myla Kabat-Zinn, and John Frey, Chairman, D.A.C. , were present for discussion of street lighting and the potential changeover to sodium vapor fixtures as proposed by the Boston Edison Company, as each incandescent or mercury vapor lamp becomes faulty. Mr. Eddison noted that the issue had been brought to his attention by Mrs. Kabat-Zinn at a meeting of the East Lexington Association last spring and had been referred to the Design Advisory Committee, which felt that street lighting merits attention in terms of design. This subject will be covered in the Design Guidelines to be developed in the near future. He saw the need to address economic and conservation aspects of Edison's ongoing replacement plan. Mr. White was asked to explore these factors and to report on alternative lighting which could be considered. Mr. Eddison suggested that the Board would benefit from a night-time tour to observe the existing varied types of lighting for a comparison of the visual impact of each type. v9 I. -2- Mrs. Smith agreed on the need for the Board to become informed on mar the issues involved before a direction is decided upon. Mr. White referred to an experiment in the early 80's whereby street lights on Highland Avenue were replaced by sodium lights, which are now being installed in most new developments in the Town. Of the 3,337 lights in Town, 132 are high pressure sodium and the rest incandescent or mercury vapor. He said he has learned that there are alternatives to replacement of faulty lamps with sodium lights. Mr. McSweeney, noting the interest of the Lexington Center Committee in street lighting, recommended that that Committee be involved in the explorations. Mr. Frey reported on D.A.C. discussion of lighting, with members of the L.C.C. present, and said that his committee will continue to work in coordination with the L.C.C. on the matter. Mrs. Smith agreed that a tour of the Town was indicated and asked that the D.A.C. suggest appropriate routes. She felt that the Police Dept. , in the interest of public safety, and the Planning Board also be consulted, when the matter is considered. Mrs. Kabat-Zinn said she was very pleased that the Selectmen will be working with the D.A.0 on the issue and suggested individual observation, prior to the tour, by Board members as to the contract of different lighting types. She asked for consideration of a moratorium on potential changeovers during the review period. Mr. White said that he will meet with Edison representatives in the near future in an effort to address changes in the existing replacement ammo plan. Mrs. Kabat-Zinn, Mr. Kovner and Mr. Frey were thanked for their attendance and for the information presented. MINUTES Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 3 - 0, with Mr. Eddison abstaining due to his absence at the meeting, to approve the minutes of the meeting on July 11, 1988, and voted 4 - 0 to approve, as presented, the minutes of June 24, 1988. NATIONAL PARK PLANNING STUDY GROUP Mr. Eddison reported on a call to him from Loren McKean, National Park Planner, on August 3rd, and Mr. McKean's request for formation of a Park Planning Study Group which he felt would help to avoid a repetition of conflict on the final park plans as had occurred with the preliminary plan. He suggested inclusion in each town group of neighbors, organizations with historical interest, representatives of Town government, and of the Park Service and Massport and that groups from the three involved towns coordinate their efforts. Mr. McKean also recommended that a regional group be formed. Mr. Eddison gave a rundown on the plans of Lincoln and Concord regarding formation of their town committees and noted the interest in the Master Plan for the Park of Congressmen Atkins and Markey and Senators Kennedy and Kerry, as evidenced in a letter from Congressman moo Atkins office, received that day, which he read. paw Selectmen's Meeting -3- August 8, 1988 Mr. Eddison suggested formation of an ad hoc Lexington task force made up on neighbors, historical organizations such as the Lexington Minute Men and Town representation by Selectmen, Planning Board, Conservation Commission and Hanscom Field Commission representatives. He felt that the ad hoc group should work through HATS II, rather than adding another committee. He noted that the Park Service would also like to have Massport and Air Force involvement. Mr. Eddison asked for suggestions as to how to address the request of the Park Service and indirectly from Washington through our legislators who had advocated Town involvement. Mrs. Smith agreed with Mr. Eddison regarding the composition of the ad hoc committee and saw benefit in taking advantage of HATS II's skills and experience. She noted that this was the first time the Park Service has requested involvement of the Towns. Mr. White reported that Concord and Lincoln appeared to be very open to the inter-town relationship proposed, but would prefer to handle local issues in-house. Mr. Eddison suggested quick response to the August 8 letter from Washington, informing the Legislators that the Town is moving in the direction suggested, but without any specifics about who is to be appointed. Mr. White will inform the Hayward Avenue residents of the Town's ilino continuing efforts to work on their behalf with respect to possible land takings proposed by the Park Service. PUBLIC HEARING, 1775 WINE & SPIRIT SHOP Mrs. Smith opened a public hearing on the petition of William Greene, 1775 Wine & Spirit Shop for relocation of premises of his package store to 27 Depot Square and read the Legal notice, published in the Lexington Minute Man on July 21, 1988. Mr. Green, owner, explained that on November 30th his current lease at 1775 Mass. Avenue will expire and increase significantly in rent costs. He felt that the move to 27 Depot Square was his best option and saw no problem with parking since the new location has parking equal to that of the existing location. He referred to a letter to the Board dated 7/28/88, from John W. Maloney, Depositors Trust Co. , expressing concern with increased parking impact and requesting Police coverage of the Bank's customer parking spaces. Mr. Maloney also referred to Bank owned spaces now leased by the Town for public parking, which he felt might have to be reclaimed if parking problems are exacerbated. Mr. Greene noted that in an August 4th letter, the Bank had clarified its position, but still requested traffic and parking control near the Bank. Mr. White noted the benefit to the Town of the 17 bank-owned spaces being leased. Mr. Dailey felt the question of possible loss of these spaces should be addressed and suggested a Police detail to monitor the spaces in front of the bank, as requested. pow Mr. White felt that the high costs of details would be prohibitive but had requested extra Police Dept. attention to the situation, which has seemed to have been effective. He will look into allowing parking in LEXPRESS bus spaces near the bank to accommodate additional parking after LEXPRESS hours. 117 -4- There being no further comment, Mrs. Smith declared the hearing Imo closed. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the application of J.E.G. Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a 1775 Wine & Spirit Shop, 1775 Mass. Avenue, for relocation of premises to 27 Depot Square, Lexington, on or about November 1, 1988. PUBLIC HEARING, VERSAILLES RESTAURANT, EXTENSION OF PREMISES Mrs. Smith opened a public hearing on the application of Isaac Dray, Versailles Restaurant, for extension of premises during the summer months to accommodate outdoor dining and service of liquor on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant and read the legal notice, published in the Lexington Minute-Man on July 28, 1988. Mr. Dray noted that outside dining during warm weather has been permitted by the Town during the past 6 years. He reported that an Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission Inspector had informed him that he could not continue this practice without ABCC approval, despite his permit from the Town and was advised to follow prescribed ABCC procedures to authorize the outside operation. Design Advisory Committee and Lexington Center Committee endorsements of the practice was noted. There being no further comments, Mrs. Smith declared the hearing closed.

Mrs. Smith praised the outstanding work of the Committee and the extensive information provided to the Town on alternative plans for development of the Pine Meadows land. Mr. Eddison noted that the Charge to the Committee had been well fulfilled and that if an additional advisory committee is needed, it will be created in the future when that need arises. LEXPRESS ROUTE CHANGE Mr. White referred to the request of the Transportation Advisory Committee for three minor changes to certain LEXPRESS routes, which will improve service and provide a safer system for bus users. He asked for approval of the changes so that reprinting of the LEXPRESS map can be allot done.

FEE BOOKLET Mr. White referred to the Fee Booklet which had been distributed, prepared by Staff in his office, which listed fees and an introduction explaining the user fee program, reasons for its implementation, a policy statement on procedures to be followed. Mr. White asked for comments on the contents and form of the booklet. Mr. Eddison felt that it was an excellent idea but that the introduction should be redrafted before distribution to the public. He offered to work with Mrs. Smith and Mr. White on the revisions. Board members agreed that it would be appropriate to periodically examine fee amounts and to increase them when necessary. Mr. White asked for consideration of the recreation of the min Alternative Tax Committee, whose 1983 report had recommended a user fee program, noting that many of the Committee's other recommendations had been implemented as well. MWRA HARBOR TOUR Mr. Eddison reported on the August 4th Harbor Tour sponsored by the MWRA, which he and DPW staff members had attended.

Robert Bowyer, Planning Director, was present to report on the commitments of Boston Property relative to traffic issues and the granting of a conservation easement over the 3.6 acre residential portion of its property, if the Special Permit is granted. Mr. Bowyer noted that the Planning Board's recommendations would differ only slightly from the Boston Property offering and that these changes are continuing to be the subject of negotiation with Boston Properties. The Planning Board's written report dated 8/31/88 to the Board of Appeals, in draft form, was reviewed. Mr. Bowyer outlined the Board's recommendations which concluded that the developers should be allowed to build within their permitted floor area ratio limits, provided measures are taken to mitigate the impacts of the development. Mr. Bowyer referred to the February, 1988 decision of the Board of Appeals on the proposal by Raytheon which included traffic improvement measures and noted that the Boston Properties proposal dovetails with measures taken by Raytheon. He added that this would be the first time that a Traffic Management Plan, including a specific trip-reduction program, leaving choices to the Town, will have been submitted and saw it as an encouraging sign. Other area firms such as Beal Company, W.R. o••• Grace, as well as Raytheon will be setting up coordinated programs which will be a model to companies in other Towns. Mrs. Smith observed that great progress has been made when companies are conscious of total area traffic situations rather than just the impact of their individual facility. s -2- She was pleased with the set-up of goal's present in the Traffic Management plan and applauded the fact that the Town will have control of " ow traffic mitigating measures, funded by the developer.

Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to authorize the Town Manager to continue negotiations with Boston Properties on the mitigating measures recommended by the Planning Board and on an increase in its financial commitment to traffic improvement. It was also voted to allow Boston Properties to use various public ways associated with its application if Planning Board requirements are met and the Town Manager's negotiations produce results that are in the best interest of the Town. PINE MEADOWS Mr. White noted that on Friday, at the Registry of Deeds, Moore Homes, Inc. will be offered a check for the purchase of the Pine Meadows land. He reported on issues relative to bonding of the funds and restrictions now imposed under the Tax Reform Act. He noted that bonding of over Flo million in one year would be subject to a significantly higher non-municipal rate of tax. The Act would also prohibit the leasing with a profit incentive clause, of any land bonded since 1986. Regarding the operation of the Golf Course, he had previously aro proposed to engage a management firm which would operate the course on a long term basis and would share with the Town the profits realized. The Tax Reform Act would prohibit sharing of profits by a separate entity under a profit incentive contract, which would mean that the Town would be responsible for all debits and credits and would pay the management firm a guaranteed amount. He suggested that Town Meeting be asked to approve the establishment of an Enterprise fund for this purpose. Mr. White said he would like to see the appointment of a Committee as soon as possible to review issues relative to the operation and management of the golf course. He listed a number of possible candidates for the committee, which would be headed by Joan Halverson, Recreation Director and himself.

N.E. Crinc and the Waste Management Task Force will develop information and guidelines on the program for town-wide distribution. He added that office staff in the Town Office Building will participate in a pilot program for recycling of paper products.

Chief Furdon, Crime Prevention Officer Joseph O'Leary, Lt. Stephen Corr and Supt. of Schools Philip Geiger were present to inform the Board of plans for a program for drug and alcohol prevention and to review a flow chart prepared to show recommended school procedure and response in drug/alcohol related incidents which included, for the first time, a formal role for the Police Department in dealing with substance abuse in the schools.

Chief Furdon noted the acceleration in efforts toward crime prevention in his department and reported that Joseph O'Leary will now, as Crime Prevention Officer, be directing that program full-time. He felt that his department's strong commitment to crime prevention will be reinforced by the School/Town program, noting that drug and alcohol use is behind a major portion of crimes committed. Officer O'Leary explained that as full time Crime Prevention Officer, he will be dealing with drug and alcohol abuse and its effects such as vandalism and other crimes, for a large percentage of his time, which can be spent planning programs and coordinated attacks on the problem. He will spend as much time as is allowed in the High and Middle Schools, and hopes in the future, to speak to the Elementary Schools, as well. He plans to involve Youth Commission members in his work with students. Officer O'Leary complimented the Youth Commission, which had worked throughout the summer with Selectman McSweeney on development of the program. Mrs. Smith, on behalf of the Board, thanked the Police Department, arm School Department, the Youth Commission, and Mr. McSweeney for their commitment to the program to combat drug and alcohol use and for the information presented on the coordinated plans to be implemented. �■■■ Selectmen's Meeting -5- August 29, 1988 MEETING SCHEDULE It was agreed that Selectmen's Meetings for the next two months will be posted as follows: September 14, September 26, October 3, October 17, October 31, 1988.
