Call to order: 7:55 <br />2. Minutes: February 1 and 29 approved. <br />3. The Town planner attended the RHC meeting along with the Addison-Wesley <br />team to tell about the plans for the Addison-Wesley property. The architect presented <br />a map of the existing site, an alternative map with office space and hotel, and potential <br />views from surrounding roads. The commission requested the chance to document <br />building "A". The intent of the plans is to make the property more salable. All <br />buildings will most likely come down. Commission members suggested that they <br />would like to see the facade of Building "A" used in some way. Clay felt we should be <br />brought in on the planning stage. He would like to see the same conceptions <br />expressed in the original buildings to be found in the new ones. Clay and Roberta <br />intend to work with Anne Krieg to respond to the plans presented by Addison-Wesley. <br />Anne will call an historical architect about Building "A". Clay will call BU preservation <br />student to organize the Foster-Emerson material (we have about $600). <br />4.
