II <br />L <br />1 <br />Lexington Housing Realty Trust Hearing (continued) <br />The Chairman read the Fire Chief's letter. <br />Regarding letter from your office dated May 17, 19749 I cannot recommend <br />acceptance of the plans of the Lexington Realty Trust in relation to their <br />development off Young and Webb Streets. <br />The plans are incomplete as to street layout, hydrant system, storage of <br />fuel (for heating purposes) and provisions for fire alarm system. Also, <br />construction details are vague as to protection of spread of fire between <br />buildings. <br />Very truly yours, <br />/s/ Walter F. Spellman <br />Chief <br />The Chairman read the letter from the Board of Health. <br />The Board of Health has reviewed the plans of the low/and or moderate <br />income housing proposed for construction on First and Second Streets. <br />-14 <br />It is understood that these units will be serviced by public sewer and <br />public water supply. Due to the history of poor drainage and standing water <br />in this area, before Board of Health approval may be given a complete engineer's <br />report of the proposed drainage for the area must be submitted. <br />Yours truly, <br />William L. Cosgrove, D.M.D. <br />Chairman, Board of Health <br />Chairman: You will be happy to know we have a Planning Board report and you <br />will be equally happy to know that I won't read the entire report. <br />LAUGHTER <br />I will read you the pertinent page ...number 10. <br />The Chairman read pages 10 and 11 of the Planning Board Report and stated that <br />if anyone wished to read it, it will be available in the Board of Appeals' <br />office. <br />Chairman read a letter from Howard Cravis as follows: <br />I wish to be recorded in opposition to the petition of Lexington Housing <br />Realty Trust for a comprehensive permit to construct 44 dwelling units on <br />First and Second Streets, off Young and Webb Streets. I request that this <br />letter be made a part of the hearing record. <br />As a member of the Lexington Commission on Suburban Responsibility and <br />of the Lexington Interfaith Corporation and as a Town Meeting Member, I have <br />supported all of the proposals so far brought to the Town in which there <br />would be subsidized housing. In the case of the Lexington Housing Realty <br />Trust petition, however, the subsidized housing plan is not well defined, and <br />
