Minutes of the Lexinqton Zoninq Board of Appeals <br /> Virtual, via Zoom <br /> August 12, 2021 <br /> Board Members: Acting Chair— Jeanne K. Krieger, Nyles N. Barnert, Norman P. Cohen, Beth <br /> Masterman and James Osten <br /> Alternate Member: William P. Kennedy <br /> Administrative Staff: Jennifer Gingras, Zoning Administrator and Sharon Coffey, <br /> Administrative Clerk <br /> Address: 50 Hancock Street <br /> The petitioner is requesting a SPECIAL PERMIT in accordance with the Zoning By-Law <br /> (Chapter 135 of the Code of Lexington) section(s) 135-5.1.11 and 135-5.1.14 to allow a <br /> driveway to be 0 feet from the property line instead of the required 5 feet. <br /> The petitioner submitted the following information with the application: Nature and Justification, <br /> Plot Plan and Plans. <br /> Prior to the meeting, the petitions and supporting data were reviewed by the Building <br /> Commissioner, Conservation Administrator, Town Engineer, Board of Selectmen, the Planning <br /> Director, the Historic District Commission Clerk, Historical Commission, Economic <br /> Development, and the Zoning Administrator. Comments were received from the Zoning <br /> Administrator, Historical Commission, Building Commissioner and Conservation Administrator. <br /> Presenter: John Vining, Feinmann, Inc. architect, on behalf of Anne and Adam Broun. <br /> The Hearing was opened at: 7:00 PM. <br /> Mr. Vining presented the petition. He stated they propose a rear addition adding a kitchen, <br /> dining room and two car garage. In order to access the garage they need a special permit to <br /> have the driveway on the property line. <br /> The Board stated concerns for snow removal and water runoff(As the driveway goes down <br /> toward the rear yard there is an area they can push the snow. They are creating a better <br /> situation now. They are in the process of working with a landscape architect. The driveway will <br /> have some sort of water retention systems based on conservations requirements. They fully <br /> expect either dry wells or water retention system to be installed). <br /> A Board Member, Norman P. Cohen, questioned if the project was in the Historic District <br /> Commission and if the material of the driveway will stay the same (It is in the Historical <br /> Commissions purview and yes). <br /> Acting Chair, Jeanne K. Krieger, questioned tree removal (That is open for debate. They love <br /> the trees). <br /> There were no further questions from the Board. <br />
