Page 2 Minutes for the Meeting of February 28, 2018 <br /> <br /> Fast food. <br /> <br /> Other uses could create more traffic. <br />Audience Comments: <br /> <br /> Two concerns with some changes are with privacy and appreciate changes in dimensional <br />controls was removed. <br /> <br /> The neighborhood has young children and Bridge School. <br /> <br /> Light, noise, and trash are a concern. The changed uses are too many and need to be <br />addressed with the neighborhood. <br /> <br /> There is a neighborhood petition, with 93 signatures, that was given to the Planning <br />Board expressing concerns that the Scope of the Aricle was too sweeping and that there <br />was insufficient public outreach. Mr. Minasian said even after changing the proposal <br />they collected signatures on the old proposal and they had received the revised <br />information on Tuesday and the signatures were gotten on Wednesday. <br /> <br /> Request that Article 38 be withdrawn by the applicant for now and discuss further with <br />the neighbors. <br /> <br /> I want to understand the late changes that were just made. There will be no changes in <br />building heights and setbacks? Yes. <br /> <br /> The new proposal seems more in line with what is appropriate and if it does it is fine with <br />me. <br /> <br /> Who has done a traffic study. The traffic is backed up all the way down the road. There is <br />a study on the website for south Lexington. There are requirements that the zoning bylaw <br />sets up for a traffic study when a use comes up for a special permit. <br /> <br /> Mr. Carrow read his presentation to the Planning Board that included a number of points <br />citing sustainability and process shortcomings, and cited many specific points as <br />examples. <br />Individual Board Comments: <br /> <br /> Need to address smells and hours of operation for what is being proposed. <br /> <br /> Most of the uses have a low impact on traffic based on what we see. <br /> <br /> Feeling ambivalent and am concerned that this is coming right before the comprehensive <br />plan and concerned other CS Districts in Town would want the same considerations. <br /> <br /> This was proposed after the new year and the Board has not had time to drill down and <br />review the town-wide consequences and is not being a holistic approach. This seems to <br />be mostly office space. <br /> <br />
