[LincolnTalk] INF: loud music at pierce house and decordova

[K Mierz via Lincoln]

hello neighbors,
i’m writing to see if you are bothered by the weekend noise that comes from 
weddings and partiesat the pierce house and/or the decordova museum?
for years i have heard the music that comes from their outdoor 
festivities;sometimes it is subdued,most times it is not.
even though our house is more than a half mile away from both venues,i still 
can usually tell what songs are being played at any given moment because the 
music is often so loud.some nights i’ve had to close our windows - and even 
then the glass might vibrate from the sound of the bass and the drums.i don’t 
mind the music, but i think that’s too loud.
some of you are closer, some are further away from the sites.i know that our 
neighbor jim is upset about the loudness,and the poor resident who lives right 
across the street from the pierce house on weston road really suffers.he has 
been measuring decibel levels at his houseand they are above what the pierce 
house is supposed to adhere to.
i don’t like it when it is so loud that i have to close our windows for 
hours,put on headphones/earplugs/fans and count the minutes until it stops.i am 
grateful that the pierce house music stops at 11pm.the decordova's loud music 
has sometimes gone on until 12:30am.
the pierce house and the decordova continue to work on the issue,and they want 
to know if others are bothered by the music levelsand at how far a 
distance.they have asked for feedback from neighbors.so i thought i would ask 
you and see what your experience is.
if it’s an issue for you,please drop an e-mail to jennifer westlund, dan 
pereira, tim higgins for the pierce house,and pilar garro at the 
decordova/trustees of the reservations.

there will be a zoom meeting next weekon wednesday october 25th at 2pm for 
anyone who wants to participate with the town and venue officials.i will post 
the zoom link when i receive it.
peace, and hopefully soon, more quiet,

Re: [LincolnTalk] HCA & Codman Road

[Fred Hopengarten]

The question has been asked:  “It would be helpful to have an official 
definition, including all the regulatory conditions that can be deployed in 
said review.”
Without editorializing, here are the Site Plan Review Standards:

17.4 Site Plan Approval Standards and Criteria. The Planning Board shall 
approve a site plan in the form submitted or with such reasonable conditions 
relating to the standards and criteria described in this section as the 
Planning Board may impose, unless it finds that
(a) the application for site plan approval is incomplete, (b) the imposition of 
reasonable conditions will not ensure that the project will conform to the 
standards and criteria described in this section, (c) the project does not 
comply with the requirements of the Zoning By-law. The standards and criteria 
are as follows: (a) Preservation of Landscape, The landscape shall be preserved 
in its natural state insofar as practicable by minimizing any grade changes and 
vegetation and soil removal.
(b) Relation of Buildings to Environment. Proposed development shall relate 
harmoniously to the terrain and to the use, scale, and proportions of existing 
and proposed buildings in the vicinity and shall provide a solar and wind 
orientation which encourages energy conservation.
(c) Building Design and Landscaping. Proposed development shall be in harmony 
with the prevailing character and scale of the buildings in the neighborhood 
and the Town through the use of appropriate scale, massing, building materials, 
screening, lighting and other architectural techniques. Variation in detail, 
form and siting shall be used to provide visual interest and avoid monotony. 
Proposed buildings shall relate harmoniously to one another and the surrounding 
neighborhoods.
(d) Open Space, All open space shall be so designed as to add to the visual 
amenities of the neighborhood by maximizing its visibility for persons passing 
the site or overlooking it from nearby properties. (e) Circulation. Entrances, 
ramps, walkways, drives and parking, the location and number of access points, 
the public street (especially in relation to existing traffic controls and mass 
transit facilities), width of interior drives and access points, general 
interior circulation, pedestrian and vehicular traffic, access to community 
facilities, and arrangement of parking areas shall be safe and convenient and, 
insofar as practicable, not detract from the use and enjoyment of proposed and 
adjacent buildings and structures, and do not materially reduce the level of 
service on any public ways. The development should, where applicable, serve to 
enhance the Town system of public facilities and services such as conservation 
areas, recreation facilities, footpaths or bicycle paths, streets, 
transportation systems or utility systems.
(f) Surface Water Drainage. The development shall incorporate measures that are 
adequate to prevent pollution of surface water or groundwater, to minimize 
erosion and sedimentation, and to prevent changes in groundwater levels, 
increased rates of run-off and potential for flooding. Drainage shall be 
designed so that the rate of run-off shall not be increased in amount or 
velocity, and groundwater recharge is maximized. Proper site surface drainage 
should not adversely affect neighboring properties or the public storm drainage 
system. Storm water shall be removed from all roofs, canopies and paved areas, 
and carried away in an underground drainage system. Surface water in all 
impervious surfaces shall be collected at intervals and disposed of so that it 
will not adversely affect the flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic, and will 
not create puddles in the paved areas.
(g) Water and Waste Disposal. The development shall be served with adequate 
water supply and waste disposal systems. For structures to be served by on-site 
waste disposal systems, the applicant shall submit a system design prepared by 
a registered engineer and containing all information necessary for the Board of 
Health to approve the on-site waste disposal system.
(h) Utility Service. To the extent feasible, electric, telephone, cable TV and 
other such lines and equipment shall be underground. The proposed method of 
solid waste disposal from all buildings shall be indicated. Building structures 
and adjacent grounds shall permit easy access and operation by fire, police and 
other emergency personnel and equipment.
(i) Signs. The size, location, design, color, texture, lighting and materials 
of all signs shall not detract from the use and enjoyment of proposed buildings 
and structures and the surrounding neighborhood.
(j) Special Features. Exposed storage areas, exposed machinery installations, 
service areas, truck loading areas, utility buildings and structures and 
similar accessory areas and structures shall be subject to such setbacks, 
screen plantings or other screening methods as shall be feasible to prevent 
their being incongruous

[LincolnTalk] FS: Almost New Set of 4 Bridgestone Snow Tires

[Andrea Patton]

Hi - we are hoping to sell our set of 4 snow tires (for truck/SUV), since the 
VW Atlas SUV we bought them for last November was recently totaled (without 
these tires on it, of course). These tires saw approximately 2500-3000 miles of 
wear last winter, mostly highway. We paid $900 for the set (buy 3 get 1 free) 
and would like to get $500 for the set. They are currently bagged and stored 
here. Thank you!

Re: [LincolnTalk] HCA & Codman Road

[Jeff B]

David,

Looking at the town's GIS, it looks to me like your 2.8 acre plot could
definitely have a much larger footprint than the existing house, even with
the wetlands on the property.  And at 15 units an acre, it could
potentially house 20+ units?  What was your sourcing for the inability to
develop further?  I admit, I'm one of the few town residents who is not an
architect so I might be missing something.

The HCA working group says that this rezoning would potentially shift 11
units into 180 units, so I'm just trying to pin down where these could
potentially be.  If most of the Codman owners are not planning on taking
advantage of this change (or cannot), then excluding these lots from a HCA
plan would seem to cost little to the goals of increased housing stock.

In general I'm really struggling with the general issues of this HCA plan
that takes a very residential street now -- Codman -- and rezones it to
something entirely different.  It seems like not just taking a downtown
area and densifying it, but rather expanding the downtown area dramatically
in a way that doesn't feel like the Lincoln we all know now and (when time
allows) walk through to get to Codman Farm and Donelans or the Tack Room.
The feel of houses like yours really makes the walk feel more like being on
one of our many trails in town, versus on a busy street sidewalk.

Add my voice to all the others on here that would be very interested in
seeing a HCA compliant proposal that doesn't include the Codman
subdistrict.  If we as a town discover we love the feel of the new downtown
housing project awaiting a greenlight, we can always add a Codman district
later and double the effect.  But we don't have the luxury of clawing it
back ever, and this current plan looks like a blind leap that would cost a
feel that many in the town cherish.

Subject: [LincolnTalk] HCA & Codman Road
To: 


I have been hesitant to engage in the housing discussion on LincolnTalk,
but after reading a few recent comments about the motives for some of the
Codman Road residents and their advocacy in favor of the Housing Choice Act
and our road being included in it, I am inspired to weigh in.

I live on Codman Road and was one of the residents that advocated in favor
of my area of South Lincoln to be included in the proposals submitted to
the Commonwealth to be in compliance with the Housing Choice Act.

I consider myself a housing advocate and generally speaking am in favor of
the legislation. There is a housing crisis in this country, and in
Massachusetts, and every town can do their part to contribute a small bit
to increased inventory to support this issue.

I also consider myself an advocate of public transportation and am a
frequent user of the commuter rail. My family is able to currently be a one
car family largely in part to my proximity to the train into Boston.

I am in support of all plans that include these subdistricts to be as close
to the Commuter Rail as possible, as I believe that to be in the spirit of
this legislation, and also what is best for our town planning.

I love Lincoln, I think Lincoln is an amazing place to live and raise
children.

Lincoln is over 40% conservation land and nothing is ever going to change
that.

I believe that the effects of the HCA to loosen a bit of the zoning laws in
certain subdistricts to not be by-right single-family housing is a good
thing.

I believe towns like Lincoln that are looking to support a small commercial
center and maintain services like a grocery store need to modify a bit of
the by-right zoning to ensure that things like having a grocery store are
sustainable.

Let me clarify that my beliefs are not driven by any personal financial
aspirations linked to my property. For those seeking assurance, my lot,
surrounded by wetlands, isn't viable for further development. Our family
home, built in 1951, has always stood here, and we have no intentions of
leaving.

So I am just here to say - yes, in my backyard, I support the HCA, I
support Codman road being included as one of the subdistricts.

Every town can do a small part to support more housing inventory and every
town can do a small part to allow more housing near public transportation.

I’m not looking to engage in any LincolnTalk back and forth on my thoughts
on this, but if anyone is looking to discuss these topics further offline,
please feel free to write me an email and we can grab a cup of coffee.

Re: [LincolnTalk] HCA & Codman Road

[Joan Kimball]

Thank you David for your clear message.  I agree with each town doing
their part to help the housing crisis we are facing. And besides, it's the
law.

  Senator Barrett at one point said, we have the jobs and we have workers,
but not adequate housing for them.

 I certainly benefit from other towns' services and businesses.   We are
not living in a vacuum.

  I treasure our town's open space,and as a former Conservation Commission
member when we wrote the Wetland Bylaw, I treasure the services for nature
and for us that our protected wetlands provide. These lands will not be
built upon.  And there will be site reviews.

Joan

Re: [LincolnTalk] On developing the mall

[Sara Mattes]

Years ago, the town hired a consultant, on 2 separate occasions, to delve into 
that question.
Perhaps we could revisit those studies, as a starting point.
They might even be available in a searchable digital data base.
Otherwise, they should be available at the Planning Board office in Town Hall,

Keep in mind, these studies are 20 years old, but may give some baseline data- 
a jumping off place.

We can course correct for changes in population, market demand, etc… business 
heads should be able to dive in.

i know that the HCA mandates no more than 10% affordable housing. My

Re: [LincolnTalk] Bobcat sighting

I was walking our dog last night around 9 pm last night on Deerhaven. She started barking and some other animal started to bark back. Any idea what animal would be barking? We quickly went back inside. Then about 10 pm a group of coyotes began to howl. I am a little concerned about walking the dog at night now. Claire Solman Sent from my iPhoneOn Oct 15, 2023, at 11:02 PM, dgloew--- via Lincoln  wrote:

[LincolnTalk] HCA & Codman Road

[David Onigman]

I have been hesitant to engage in the housing discussion on LincolnTalk,
but after reading a few recent comments about the motives for some of the
Codman Road residents and their advocacy in favor of the Housing Choice Act
and our road being included in it, I am inspired to weigh in.

I live on Codman Road and was one of the residents that advocated in favor
of my area of South Lincoln to be included in the proposals submitted to
the Commonwealth to be in compliance with the Housing Choice Act.

I consider myself a housing advocate and generally speaking am in favor of
the legislation. There is a housing crisis in this country, and in
Massachusetts, and every town can do their part to contribute a small bit
to increased inventory to support this issue.

I also consider myself an advocate of public transportation and am a
frequent user of the commuter rail. My family is able to currently be a one
car family largely in part to my proximity to the train into Boston.

I am in support of all plans that include these subdistricts to be as close
to the Commuter Rail as possible, as I believe that to be in the spirit of
this legislation, and also what is best for our town planning.

I love Lincoln, I think Lincoln is an amazing place to live and raise
children.

Lincoln is over 40% conservation land and nothing is ever going to change
that.

I believe that the effects of the HCA to loosen a bit of the zoning laws in
certain subdistricts to not be by-right single-family housing is a good
thing.

I believe towns like Lincoln that are looking to support a small commercial
center and maintain services like a grocery store need to modify a bit of
the by-right zoning to ensure that things like having a grocery store are
sustainable.

Let me clarify that my beliefs are not driven by any personal financial
aspirations linked to my property. For those seeking assurance, my lot,
surrounded by wetlands, isn't viable for further development. Our family
home, built in 1951, has always stood here, and we have no intentions of
leaving.

So I am just here to say - yes, in my backyard, I support the HCA, I
support Codman road being included as one of the subdistricts.

Every town can do a small part to support more housing inventory and every
town can do a small part to allow more housing near public transportation.

I’m not looking to engage in any LincolnTalk back and forth on my thoughts
on this, but if anyone is looking to discuss these topics further offline,
please feel free to write me an email and we can grab a cup of coffee.

[LincolnTalk] Option C and Our 1 Mile

[Barbara Peskin]

Dear Lincoln,

If Option C is approved, Codman Rd and Lincoln Rd will be zoned for 18
units per acre, so some 2 acre lots could have up to 36 residences. The
village center will be zoned for 25 units per acre. The new Lincoln
residents, here because of good intention to contribute to housing
development, may be able to walk to Donelan’s (after the reconstruction of
the mall) but surely will likely want to drive to the local CVS, Transfer
Station, Lincoln Library or Town Hall. The new residents will need cars.

The HCAWG has estimated 169 additional units could be built on Codman Rd
alone. Option C as a whole implies that 454 incremental new units could be
built all in the Lincoln Station area. At 1-2 cars per unit that could
result in up to 900 new cars. The generous transfer of land from residents
and the town to an HCA compliant developer would result in a very different
Lincoln than we know now. That is why I am opposed to the inconceivable
rush to approve Option C.

Surely a traffic light will need to be added at one or more intersections.
I live about a mile from Lincoln Station. While I enjoy an occasional walk
or bike ride to Doherty's or my garden at Codman, most of the time I drive
there or through there on my way to 126 or Route 2. Should Option C pass,
putting hundreds of new cars driving on Codman and Lincoln Rd daily, surely
I will now be stopping and driving through traffic lights on my 1 mile
journey.

All of this is unknown because we are being asked to vote on Option C
without a current traffic study and/or maximum potential numbers of new
cars and residential units Option C would allow.

For these reasons, should Option C pass at Town Meeting in March, the
dozens of new residents living on rezoned lots might not have the same
happy walk to shopping and enjoying Lincoln in the way that inspired our
initial generosity. I hope as a town we can come up with a better option
that preserves the character of our town that so many have worked for.
