<br />sions for waste disposal, surface and ground water drainage, erosion control,
<br />parking areas, loading areas, maneuvering areas, driveways, the location of
<br />intersections of driveways and streets will constitute a suitable develop-
<br />ment and will not result in substantial detriment to the neighborhood. The
<br />proposed use of the building is office and research and development. The
<br />location of the property is at the corner of Hartwell Avenue and Bedford
<br />Street, containing approximately five acres of land.
<br />Frederick J. Conroy, Attorney, represented the petitioners, who had _.
<br />provided the following plans:
<br />1. Site plans for Lot 1, by Miller and Nylander, dated 3/25/74 as
<br />follows:

<br />Two copies of these plans were presented to the Planning Board on March
<br />29, 1974 for their recommendations as required under Section 13 of the
<br />Lexington zoning by-law.
<br />Mr. Conroy explained that the proposed building would be situated on
<br />approximately 5 acres, located on the corner of Hartwell Avenue and Bedford

<br />gelo of The 115 Kendall Corporation. The 5 acres is under agreement for
<br />sale to Tektronix Corp. for construction of the building.
<br />He reviewed former.permits granted by the Board, including the division
<br />of the 13 acres into 4 lots, one of which would have been on the corner of
<br />Hartwell Avenue and Bedford St. and ruld have had 4.27 acres. Since then
<br />Tektronix has requested the larger 5 acres. This parcel is zoned CH, hotel,
<br />office and research park.

<br />which listed several comments for consideration. He stated that The 115 Kendall
<br />Corp. had responded to all of them and corrections had been made on plans sub-
<br />mitted with their letter dated April 30, 1974. The plans received werethe same
<br />as those submitted earlier except that the engineering data requested had been
<br />added to the plans.

<br />pared the plans; a representative of the Tektronix, Inc., Richard Keshiau Mass. -
