BOA Meeting December 13, 2012 3 Minutes of the Lexington Zoning Board of Appeals Selectmen’s Meeting Room December 13, 2012 Board Members Present: Chairman – Carolyn C. Wilson, Jeanne K. Krieger, Leo P. McSweeney, Martha C. Wood and Associate Member William P. Kennedy Staff Present: Dianne Cornaro, Administrative Clerk and David George, Zoning Administrator Petition Address: 54 Tarbell Avenue, Map 7, Lot 52 Petitioner submitted the following information with the application: nature and justification of request, topographic plan, plot plan and elevations. Prior to the hearing, the petition and supporting data were reviewed by the Building Commissioner, Conservation Administrator, Town Engineer, Board of Selectmen, the Zoning Administrator, the Planning Director and the Historic Districts Commission Clerk. Comments were received from the Planning Director, Building Commissioner, Conservation Administrator and the Zoning Administrator. The Chairman opened the hearing at 8:28 pm by reading the legal notice and described information received from the petitioner. The petitioner is requesting the following relief in accordance with the Zoning By-Law (Chapter 135 of the Code of Lexington) section 135-35A, Table 2, Schedule of Dimensional Controls: 1) Frontage of 90 ft. instead of required 125 ft.; 2) Allow lot area of 8262 ft. instead of the required 15,500 ft. 3) Allow a side yard setback of 8 ft. 9 inches instead of the required 15 ft. Attorney John Farrington representing the owners of the property, Charles Daly, Stephanie Buller and Jay Berglund asked the Board for permission to continue the hearing until January 24, 2013 because he had just received 18 letters of opposition from the neighbors and a letter from Attorney Thomas Fenn regarding an issue with a 1955 deed that he will need to review further. Attorney Farrington was aware that one of the Board members, William Kennedy, present at this hearing will not be available at the next hearing which would mean the applicant will have a 4 member board for this hearing. On a motion by Jeanne K. Krieger and seconded by Martha C. Wood, the Board voted 5-0 to continue the hearing until Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 7:30 pm. Submitted by: Dianne Cornaro, Administrative Clerk
