respond that that had been tabled.. ,roost cuts w i l l
be in the human services and universal health care areas with both the
House and the Senate unable to concur at this time.
Mr. Dailey asked how to increase the Local Aid amount so that
sharing would be to a fair degree and work to the advantage of the ' own
own
as opposed to a detriment which now occurs.
Mr. Doran, replied that the formula that now exists does not
distribute the revenues fairly and that Lexington ton i s

wealthy community. All the cost savi measures that have been
instituted here have worked against the well managed community that we
have. one of the areas of inequity � � �

noted the extensive projects that this agency is responsible for on a
statewide basis and that the agency is sincerely trying n to bring these
Y g g
projects up to date in a timely and responsible fashion.
Mr. Eddison related his concerns regarding HATS TT communities and
asked what rol the Legislature could play in helping to bri the
federal governmental agencies to the point of discussion. 4
Mr. Doran stated that he saw his role best used to encourage the
Federal aaencies and the Air Force to meet with the HATS TI communities. 'ow
Mrs. Smith congratulated Rep. Doran on an outstanding job in his
representation of Lexington. The Selectmen unanimously agreed.
DEVELOPMENT DUIDELINFS BOOKLET
The Town Manager referred to the "Development Guidelines" booklet
that had been prepared to help guide developers through the maze of
approval processes needed. There will be more staff involvement in the
initial meetings so that the Sketch Plans will be presented to all
concerned boards at the same time. This procedure will help identify
areas of conflict at the earliest possible stage.
Mrs. Smith applauded this concept.
Mr. Marshall noted a situation that had recently occurred in the.
Meriam Hill area where a resident had cut down Town trees and vegetation
bordering his lot and asked what recourse existed to prevent any similar
situations in the future, Mr. White w i l l investigate the resources that

housing advocates better. (attendance record attached)
Chairman Smith then detailed
A) the risks of not having a com rehensive housina strategy (loss of
diverse citizenry, comprehensive permits resulting in loss of local
control),
B) wham such an affordable housin strate would serve (elderly, single
heads of housegold, town employees, service sector workers, special and
regional needs citizens), and,
C) who should be involved in the provision and development of affordable
housinq in Lexin ton (LHA, Town, State, schools, business, religious
groups, service organizations, home owners and developers). the
Chairman Smith outlined the housing strategy developed by the Planning
Board and Hoard of Selectmen as f o l l o w s :
To create 100 -173 units of public or privately developed
affordable housing over the next five years via the following mechanisms: vow
*Town initiated development on school sites, beginnning with
Meagherville
*Scatter site housino
*Working with private developers on multi - family oeveiopments
*reviewing the accessory apartment bylaw, and making it more attractive
Judith Uhrig, Chairman of the Planning Hoard discussed her Board and the
Board of Selectmen's lack of a consensus on the proper role to be played
in the advancement of affordable housing in town by each of the"
participating committees and boards involved in housing.
Rick White, Town Manager discussed the staff's role in providing
engineering and other information necessary to the policy boards that need
to present Town Meeting with an acceptable affordable housing development
proposal. He said it was premature to talk about hiring a "Housing
Specialist" until such time as the town has developed more affordable
housing. The Town's needs at this time are too varied (engineering,
planning, architectural, public relations, grantswriter, etc) to hire one
person to oversee the development effort.

Chairman Smith opened the meeting to comments. A synopsis of the major
concerns voiced follows:
I. SPECIAL NEEDS:
The Special Needs Committee has targeted a minimum of 44 families
in Lexington that have identified Housing needs as a priority for their
adult children, The Committee stated that independent housing for special
needs residents is a low priority for the Commonwealth's housing agencies, %WW
and thus needs to be addressed at the local level.
The Committee specifically mentioned a need for:
a: 2 Independent Living group homes, one for men and one
for women; in Lexington,
b: 24 hour staff for these homes,
c: Research conducted to locate sources of funding to
construct these homes
d: informing appropriate state agencies about Lexington's
special needs housing study
The Lexington Housing Authority (LHA) voiced the need to have rental units
for special needs residents, and advocated the inclusion of a requirement
setting aside # of units for special needs housing in developments.
11. CHAPTER 689 HOUSING:
LHA seeks 2 plots of land on which to build Chapter 689 houses in
Lexington. These buildings could house a number of rental or owner
occupied units for special needs residents, who could take pride in their
ownership or occupancy in independent living space. LHA noted that a
Ch.689 house needs space enough for a single family home. Chapter 689 %moo
housing fulfills a regional need.
III. LEXINGTON HOUSING PARTNERSHIP STATUS:
Selectmen Marshall reported on the status of the Town's application to the
State for membership in the Massachusetts Housing Partnership, which would
make the town eligible for grants and loans to both review large projects
proposed in Lexington, and provide developers with incentives to build
types of housing that Lexington wants and needs. The Town's application
is pending, and a decision is due before the end of the year. Our
proposal was controversial because it did not include the creation of a
new housing committee to oversee the partnership's activities.
Last year, a consultant, ABT Associates conducted a report on Equity
Sharing possibilites in Lexington. Equity sharing would use either or
both public and private funds to purchase housing units that the owner
would by on loan, to be paid back over time.
The preliminary assessment by ABT was that this would not be possible in
Lexington, but that another meeting was needed to determine whether to
take this concept any further.

they do not count in
the affordable housing statistics used by the state.

VII. CONSERVATION COMMISSION:

Commission feels that the Town ought to study all all town lands for their
most appropriate use, and not dust designate all land that is buildable as
potential sites for development of affordable housing. Commission also
feels that town should be looking at rehabilitating existing structures
for affordable housing, as well as new construction. The Commission "WOO
pointed out that 2/3 Grote of town meeting is necessary to rezone or

VIII. Final words of encouragement and thanks were given each of the
boards and committees present for participating in the discussion .

copies of any such bill earl i n the g e

name appear as co - sponsor or hills to ensure that he would be notified
of hearings and when the bill

The Senator reported that he had been working early fu ll-time '

on the expansion of local revenue sources. HP
was not optimistic that the local aid process would work well
and saw little chance th1 s year
that Lexington's sharp would be increased. He
felt that the Legislators will want more time than was as taken last year
to look at finance before making determinations on local aid,
Through expansion of the local revenue base the Senator would hope
to See property taxes lowered by greater reliance on othe
to see inclusion of income r evenue and

also hope to establish a revenue base which can row

There was brief discussion of H5550, a bill relative to 1 f i n

Mr. White distributed and reviewed with the Board his 1982/1989

Committees and Supt. of Schools with the Selectmen, As a result of the
revised schedule, the Manager hopes to present his budget
recommendations to the Board one month earlier than usual on January 9,
Town Departments are to submit budget requests by November 30 and he had
asked that the School Committee submit its proposed budget before
Christmas.
Dr. Geiger reported that he i's now revi ewi naE a school programs

dollar request, with the realization that everything cannot be #1
priority.
!fir. . O'Sullivan, Chairman of the Appropriation C❑mmi ttee , referred
to prior meetings of his committee with Dr. Geiger and the School
Committee for discussion of Town budget matters and said that he felt
very encouraged by the ongoing communication establ i she! .

FY94. He said that he had been impressed by Dr. Geiger's spirit of
cooperation in budgeting talks to date and was hopeful that by
