Re: [LincolnTalk] Ruth Ann Hendrickson Supports Option C

I wholly agree with these views, and so too I hope and trust will most of those 
attending Town Meeting, despite the many posts from a relatively few fellow

Subject: [LincolnTalk] Ruth Ann Hendrickson Supports Option C


I support new and more affordable housing in Lincoln, and I’d like to see most 
of it in the area of the train station and the Lincoln Mall. I will therefore 
be supporting option C at the Special Town Meeting on December 2.

1) Options C is the best hope for retaining the retail businesses at the Mall. 
I remember when the roof caved in, and Donelan’s was out of business for over a 
year. We missed them terribly. If we even needed a pint of cream, we had to go 
out of town. Retail is struggling all over the country, but I notice that West 
Concord, (population 7,003 per Census data: ACS 2021) which developed a large 
apartment complex near the Nashoba Brook a few years ago, has managed to retain 
real retail, not just banks and restaurants. I am hoping that with enough new 
housing in the mall area, we also could have a thriving retail center.

2) History shows that adding new housing enriches the Town. Change is always 
worrisome. When Farrah pond village near where I live was proposed, the 
neighbors were violently against it because of traffic. The traffic has not 
materialized, and Farrar Pond Village has turned out to be a wonderful place 
for Lincoln people to retire. Recently, because of the cost of housing, it has 
also attracted families with children to the extent that they have built a 
playground. When the town developed Lincoln Woods, people were aghast; much 
denser than Farrar Pond Village and right there in the middle of town. And yet 
I know someone who works at Donelan’s who is able to live there, and a friend 
of mine, who has MS, is also able to live there to be near her mother. This 
complex has definitely given living options to Lincoln people who needed it. 
The proposed new housing would again add housing for our children and those who 
work here.

3) Our Agricultural Heritage is safe. Remember, 40% of the Lincoln is 
permanently in conservation. 40%! Those fields will continue to be farmed by 
local farmers. Codman farm belongs to the town and will also remain in 
perpetuity. The trails we love to walk will always be there. Adding some higher 
density housing near the train station will not affect that.

4) Do not be fooled by Option E. Some think that, if we chose Option E, we can 
slow down and develop housing at our own pace under the town meeting process. 
Most of the towns around us, however, will have designated large areas as 
multifamily “by right”. What developer in his right mind would risk thousands 
of dollars to take a proposal to town meeting, only to see it voted down, when 
he could easily go to the next town, and develop something by right?  The RLF 
will be unable to replenish their endowment and revitalize the mall in this new 
housing development environment. Please vote to allow the RLF to develop the 
mall/housing complex by right. The RLF is a non-profit whose mission is to 
assist the town of Lincoln in shaping its land-use destiny. History has show 
that they can be trusted to work to the Town’s benefit.

First, I did not say I wanted people from other towns flocking here.  I said

Second, I would love to maintain the rural character of Lincoln, too, but the 
fact is we have a severe housing shortage not just in Massachusetts but across 
the country. Families who work full time, multiple jobs cannot afford 
apartments, much less condos or homes.  There are people looking to step into 
home ownership who can't because they are priced out.  The Massachusetts 
shelter system is full, not just from refugees and immigrants, but from people 
who cannot find housing, no matter how much assistance they have.  So, yes, 
even luxury condos would help.  (Though I see the town's commendable track 
record of negotiating a higher level of affordable housing and trust them to 
continue to do the same.)  But it is also true that Lincoln's exclusionary 
zoning - which has maintained the rural character we love - has contributed to 
the housing crisis.   Lastly, I would love more taxpayers to come to town 
because in the end I am also a capitalist and would like to see my taxes go

Why on earth would we want people from other towns flocking to Lincoln for

sound model, if not one for thriving capitalism. Lincoln's affordable housing 
can be expanded without giving up control to developers.

Many people move to Lincoln specifically to avoid the traffic and commercial 
pressures that are evident in neighboring towns, once beautifully semi-rural, 
now overbuilt with strip malls. Lincoln has been preserved over the decades by 
careful planning and zoning.

 As an example of developer-friendly zoning, Lexington has long had commercial 
zoning in the center, yet there are empty storefronts and over a dozen random 
banks. There are only two restaurants that have lasted over the years, dozens 
have shuttered. Zoning for the benefit of developers doesn't guarantee 
businesses will come, or stay. Belmont is also struggling with empty 
storefronts, it is happening across the region. Developers come and go, but 
residents are left with the developers' decisions, rarely based on the long 
term goals of the town. This is not a good model for Lincoln. If Lincoln cedes 
control to developers, it is in perpetuity, it can't be reversed.

Many in town hope that the working group of the HCA ruling will slow the 
process, take the necessary time to address the concerns of the townspeople, 
and allow alternative choices on the ballot.

And regarding speed on our roadways, appropriate speed bumps can be build that 
don’t require coming to a near stop (or a full stop for low riding cars - of 
which I speak from experience).  More frequent rises in any road can help keep 
speed below a determined level with these more appropriately designed ‘bumps’. 
Road depressions work equally well but likely not in regions where freezing is 
an issue, for water may collect in them.

I think we have the same sentiments about the town’s roads and the behaviors 
we’d like to see on them.

My one quibble with your post is the fondness for potholes.

Yes, they might slow some drivers, but folks in some SUVs may not feel them 
much at all.  Bikes, on the other hand, tend to be more sensitive to roadway 
imperfections and have to navigate around them.  But the bikes, then, are not 
predictable to many motorists, who swear at the cyclist for being erratic.  Or 
worse.

This is a repaired section of MA 126 between Conant and Old Concord Roads (but 
could be in a lot of places, even on Tower).  Most cars go right over that 
patching without a thought.  Where does the cyclist go?  Right?  Left?  Today I 
went to the left and was honked and sworn at for choosing that path.


My personal view is that we should design our roadway rebuilds for safety 
including the vehicular speeds we want.  Not rely on the potholes.

Take care,

especially in its rougher segments between 117 and Lincoln Rd. I would 
anticipate that increasing the curvature and narrowness of Tower Rd would 
likely make it even more precarious for all users, day and night. While a 
narrower and more curved road may slow down average speeds by the average 
driver, the main concern is with those who may see it as an (even more) 
attractive opportunity to test their driving prowess. And even the average road 
biker may see it as an enticing enhancement. Heck, I know I would.  Still, I am

curves and less width.

He went on to say that when Baker’s Bridge Road was repaved, the town made sure 
it conformed to the original route and width (since paving crews tend to 
straighten curves and widen roads over time).  The result was a more curved and 
narrower road, resulting in - as predicted - slower traffic speeds.

I imagine the same will (or should) be done with Tower Road.

grateful for recommendations of reliable sales and service outfits in our area. 
 (We don't want to go the big box store route.)  We like the folks at New 
England Appliance very much but unfortunately they carry only American brands.

Judging by website ratings, Jarvis, Doyon, Bright, Hunter etc., all seem iffy. 
But if you have had better experience or can suggest another, I'd be grateful 
to hear from you.

 Many thanks for any suggestions,

Larry Buell

He’s very good, I agree; but he had raised his charges (for a simpler job) 
considerable the second time we enlisted him.

Re: [LincolnTalk] pear tree identification

[Buell, Lawrence]

Sounds as is it might conceivably be a sickle pear? They need to be cooked to 
become soft and flavorful.

Subject: [LincolnTalk] pear tree identification

Hello,

I have a 100+ year old pear tree on a property I grew up on in Manchester, NH.  
The pears are small, hard, and very bitter.  They never become edible.

I would like to try to identify the pear tree.  What would be the best way to 
do it?  I have photos I can post on this list if there is someone knowledgeable 
that can help.

Someone suggested that it might be a perry pear.

thank you for any help you can provide
Wayne

[LincolnTalk] Insurance carrier question

[Buell, Lawrence]

Dear fellow LT-ers,

We're thinking of switching insurance carrier (home, auto, umbrella).  Vermont 
Mutual has been suggested. Any reactions-or alternative recommendations?

Thanks for giving thought and responding as the spirit moves.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Family of 4 from Ukraine seeks housing in Lincoln

[Buell, Lawrence]

Dear Mr Niemiec and other Lincoln neighbors,

I, who sent the post on behalf of Ms Smirnoff, live at 60 Tower Road and have 
lived in Lincoln for the past 32 years. My home phone (in the Lincoln 
directory) is 781-259-1278.

I can assure you that the need of the family in question for housing is 
legitimate. I have met them personally as a result of my work as volunteer for 
St Vincent de Paul of Lincoln and Weston as well as with their Lincolnite 
relatives Mr. and Ms. Smirnov. I was the one who posted the notice because Ms 
Smirnov is not a subscriber to lincolntalk.

If you or any other neighbors who read this can offer any leads on housing to 
this fine refugee family, please contact olga_smir...@hotmail.com

Thank you,
Larry Buell

[LincolnTalk] Family of 4 from Ukraine seeks housing in Lincoln

[Buell, Lawrence]

Dear fellow Lincoln residents,



My husband and I are fortunate to live in Lincoln for 5 years.  For the last 
two months, we have been hosting our relatives from Ukraine.



Their family of 4 (My husband's mother, sister, brother-in-law, and niece) fled 
from the city of Kharkiv on the 12th day of the War.  They lost everything.



We are doing our best to support them, but our resources are limited. There is 
no easy way to say it, but we have decided to ask our Lincoln community for 
help.



We hope to find a nice warm rental place that can be a home for our relatives.  
A 2-3 bedroom place would be ideal.



Unfortunately, we cannot pay a market price,  but we can guarantee to take good 
care of the place including small fixes.



Please respond to olga_smir...@hotmail.com



Thank you!

I am wondering if anyone uses one of our several local auto repair shops to 
service a hybrid. I have a Toyota Prius and have used Acton Toyota for several 
years but have not been satisfied recently.
I  did use Doherty's  once or twice a couple years ago but I felt they were not 
comfortable servicing a hybrid at that time.

Thanks a lot!

generous support of the trustees of the Ogden Codman Trust.  Scholarships of up

to imagine a better future and to work toward making lasting changes and 
gaining financial stability.
