RECE <br /> D <br /> 2022 24III III , 31 pirn~n <br /> Minutes of the Lexinqton Zoninq Board of Appeals 'TOWN I E F F <br /> Virtual, Via Zoom LEXI N G 1 ON MA <br /> January 13, 2022 <br /> Board Members: Chair— Ralph D. Clifford, Jeanne K. Krieger, Nyles N. Barnert, Norman P. <br /> Cohen and Martha C. Wood <br /> Alternate Member: James Osten <br /> Administrative Staff: James Kelly, Building Commissioner, Julie Krakauer, Zoning <br /> Administrator and Sharon Coffey, Administrative Clerk <br /> Address: 675 Waltham 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) 135-9.4 to allow continued use of a golf <br /> recreational facility. <br /> The petitioner submitted the following information with the application: Nature and Justification, <br /> Previously Granted Special Permits and a Plot Plan Waiver Request. <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, Building Commissioner and Conservation Administrator. <br /> Presenter: William Dailey, attorney representing Carroll Family <br /> The Hearing was opened at 7:05 pm. <br /> Mr. Dailey presented the petition. He stated the course has been in place for about 30 years. <br /> Traffic flow has not been a problem. An abutter submitted a matter related to lighting, the <br /> problem was addressed several years ago and also more recently. There was a finding that <br /> three or four of the poles that hold the netting have encroached on town conservation land. <br /> They met with the Conservation Commission and are going to explore a land swap, they are <br /> working actively on that. If the land swap does not occur they expect a condition to move the <br /> poles back. This is a good use of the property. They asked the Board to consider a 10-year <br /> approval term. <br /> Chair, Ralph D. Clifford, stated the encroachment on Conservation land is an issue. He <br /> questioned the time frame of the land swap agreement (They are actively working with a <br /> surveyor to come up with a survey. He explained the land. They would rather not move those <br /> poles. It's going to take a little while). <br /> There were no further questions from the Board. <br /> An audience member, Armando Mancini of 673 Waltham Street, stated the land swap has to be <br /> of equal value. This parcel is very important to the conservation commission. It does not make <br /> sense for the Town to make that swap, it would allow the golf course to have an additional 20 <br /> hitting station. He stated that Mr. Dailey said this encroachment has been going on for 10 years. <br />
