Minutes for the Meeting of December 17, 2008 Page 3 ?? Very supportive of the BHD here and an affordable housing advocate. Modify curb cut as close to the lots as possible. Board Comments: Mr. Canale was concerned with the impacts. He wanted the Board to allow the public to weigh in and suggested the Board continue the sketch plan to allow more of the public to weigh in. Mr. Hornig was fairly happy with the BHD, the public access, the walking path to the school, and the Victory Garden. The problems mentioned would still exist even if they did a conventional plan. Mr. Zurlo said he suggested they move forward with the BHD and get more information over time. Ms. Manz said they should move to a preliminary plan for the BHD, but wanted to include the sidewalk on Hancock Street and the pathways discussed. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 3-2 (Mr. Canale and Mr. Galaitsis opposed), to continue on to the preliminary plan for a BHD on 91-93 Hancock Street, known as Lexington Gardens. Lexington Hills, Release of Covenant and Acceptance of Surety: The developer has requested the release for 17 of the 19 lots within the Lexington Hills subdivision. The total dollar amount of the remaining work is approximately $350,000 as per the Estimated Cost to Construct Form. The force main has been installed, but the pump station has not been completed and the developer would offer a cash bond in lieu until the completion of the sewer pump station. If the Board was disinclined to release 17 lots, the applicant would like the release of lots one and two and the Board could select the other three lots to release. The Board determined that lots one, two, seven, eight and nine would be released. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 5-0, to deny the release for 17 of the 19 lots but to release the five lots numbered one, two, seven, eight and nine, and accept surety in the amount of $41,250 to cover the remaining work. ***********************************TOWN MEETING********************************** Lexington Technology Park – Patriot Partners: Mr. Canale recused himself from the Board’s consideration as he is an abutter within 300 feet. He stated any statements made by him would be as a private citizen.
