Minutes for the Meeting of May 27, 2008 Page 5 <br /> <br />Mr. Hornig reported that the Beal Company was interested in a CD rezoning proposal this fall. <br />They will be asked to come in and present to the Board on June 4. <br /> <br />******************************Commercial Development************************** <br />Ms. Manz spoke about offering density in return for having green development, which implied a <br />site review/special permit process. She wondered if developers would not want to come to <br />Lexington because they would not look beyond the special permit requirement. Mr. Canale said <br />that it was safest in legal terms if giving a density bonus in return for green development. Mr. <br />Zurlo said they had only been discussing green in relation to the site plan, why not the building <br />as well? Mr. Hornig cited Chapter 40A that prohibits the Planning Board from regulating <br />materials that are covered by the building code. Mr. Canale said that he would be interested in <br />what carbon footprint is being created, perhaps instead of using LEED standards for site plan <br />review. Mr. Zurlo said LEED is already structured and people are familiar with the terms. <br /> <br />**************************** BOARD MEMBER REPORTS************************ <br />Mr. Zurlo reported that the final draft of the Cecil Report has been printed and will be distributed <br />tomorrow. The Economic Development Task Force will be meeting on Friday morning to <br />discuss it. <br /> <br />On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn the meeting at 10:10 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Wendy Manz, Clerk <br /> <br />
