On a motion by Edward D. McCarthy, and seconded by Jeanne K. Keiger, the Board voted 5-0 to grant the Request for a Waiver of the requirement of a certified plot plan. On a motion by Jeanne K. Krieger, and seconded by Edward D. McCarthy, the Board voted 3-2 (Ralph D. Clifford and Martha C. Wood in opposition) to grant the VARIANCE in accordance with the Zoning By-Law (Chapter 135 of the Code of Lexington) sections 135-9.2.2.2 and 135-4.1.1, Table 2 (Schedule of Dimensional Controls) to allow a 3-story structure instead of the required 2.5 stories. A 4-1 vote was needed and therefore the request was denied.
