Page 2 <br />Minutes for the Meeting of November 12, 2008 <br />process. <br /> <br />Hartwell Avenue Zoning: <br />Mr. Hornig said the Planning Board wanted to discuss some issues with the ZBA regarding Hartwell <br />Avenue. They are contemplating relaxed dimensional controls and requiring fewer special permits, using <br />site plan review instead. Site plan review would allow the imposition of conditions but could only be <br />denied in the most extreme situations. Mr. Hornig said there was some thought that the Planning Board <br />should be the Site Plan Review Granting Authority. There is a presumption that Site Plan Review should <br />be granted and variances are to be hard to obtain. <br /> <br />Mr. Canale said the EDTF felt that the Lexington process was different from surrounding communities <br />and that Lexington should be more in keeping with the other communities. He suggested that making the <br />Planning Board the SPGA for commercial projects would be a way to move toward more consistency <br />with other communities. Ten years ago Town Meeting decided they wanted more influence and turned it <br />down. <br /> <br />Mr. Zurlo said there should be a summit on the CD process. There should be a joint recommendation on <br />how to proceed with this process for resolution. Mr. Hornig said the Board was not proposing any <br />changes to the CD process, but rather implicitly saying that you do not need a CD to do anything except <br />something that was extraordinary. <br /> <br />Mr. Canale said that the wireless bylaw and regulations need changes and updates. Mr. Barnert said to <br />come to the ZBA and discuss it with them. <br /> <br />********************************* MINUTES****************************************** <br />Review of Minutes: The Board reviewed and corrected the minutes for October 15, 2008.
