Page 6 <br />Minutes for the Meeting of August 13, 2008 <br />?? <br />Asked for cut away sections of the site and the footprint as it would be built; <br />?? <br />Asked for pedestrian pathway connection; and <br />?? <br />Stated that improvements to the existing road would be nice. <br /> <br />Mr. Russell asked if they could file a definitive SSD plan. Mr. Hornig said the Board would consider this <br />the sketch. He advised Mr. Russell to consult with the staff and address the issues and then file the <br />preliminary plan. <br /> <br />Lexington Hills, Release of Lots and Change in Plans (sewer): The applicant requested a modification to <br />the definitive approval to allow a gravity sewer system. There was a motion made to consider the change <br />a major modification, which would require a public hearing. <br /> <br />Mr. McCord, attorney, Mr. Joe Casey, construction consultant, Mr. Habib Aminipour, applicant and Mr. <br />Lerman, Trustee joined the meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. McCord said this parcel was all part of the Middlesex Hospital in Lexington and Waltham and had <br />the sewer lines and connections since 1932, which serviced all the hospital buildings.

Some questions came up about how they could <br />connect to the sewer. He maintained that the rights to connect existed and still do. The original pipe was <br />never disconnected and they just wanted to replace and update the old pipe, not create a new connection. <br />Lexington would provide the water and Waltham the sewer pipes and therefore should receive some <br />benefit. There would need to be an inter-municipal agreement worked out specifying who would get what <br />money. <br /> <br />Mr. Hornig said there needed to be a letter providing this information for the board’s records. There was a <br />concern at the hearings as to whether Waltham agreed with the analysis, and documentation from <br />Waltham would be required. Mr. Henry said he got a letter from Town Counsel that Waltham was <br />opposed to this connection. <br /> <br />Mr. Hornig asked whether an inter-municipal agreement would be needed. Mr. McCord agreed that <br /> <br />
