LINCOLN — The Historical Commission voted unanimously to preserve the Carl Koch Techbuilt buildings at 109 Trapelo Road rather than approve a proposed replacement design. The commission found the design insufficient to preserve the site's landscape character and the shared meadow along Trapelo Road. Applicant Alex Richov expressed willingness to discuss alternatives.
In other business, the commission unanimously approved modifications to previously approved plans at 5 Hawk Hill Road, eliminating a cantilever to align exterior walls, and provided feedback on an interpretive panel for the Baker Bridge Project.
