r 1 1 1 Page 2 7.29.74 circulated to members for comment and signed and forwarded to the B/A on August 7, as in the case of the Mammola petition above. The Cannizzo petition for special permit for construction of a green- CANNIZZO house was reviewed. No plot plan was available showing the location of CONCORD AVE. the present and proposed greenhouses. However, inasmuch as the pro- posed greenhouse is for wholesale use only and will involve no retail sales or traffic, the Board decided to make no comment on the petition. John Bennett of Shahl, Bennett, Inc., architects for the E.G.&G. head- E.G.&G. BLDG. quarters building proposed by C.C.&F for Hayden Ave., met with the Board HAYDEN AVE. to present preliminary layout materials for the site, which will require B/A F & D variances both for size of lot and setbacks. Other representatives of Shahl, E.G.&G., and C.C.&F. were also present. This information was requested by board members at the last meeting, to allow the board to judge whether it would oppose or support a request before the Board of Appeals for the necessary variances. After detailed discussion and suggestions for changing the design to reduce the degree of setback variance needed, the board expressed willingness to continue to work out the details and will not oppose the concept of an office building on this site. Changes in the layout and more information about existing and pro- posed contours and preliminary drainage design will be shown at the end of the week to Mr. Briggs and Mr. Costello and through them to Gary Mar- shall, DAC, and to board members at the next meeting. The petitioners may apply for a B/A hearing on the variances before this next -Planning Bd. review,. Inasmuch as Mr. Hamilton has not requested an extension of the time within which the Planning Board must act on his subdivision, as had been suggested to him by the planning director, the Board was required to act at this time on the Farmhurst, Section 5 subdivision plan. Letters were noted from the Board of Health recommending minimum sill elevations on certain lots, and from David Perley, Mr. Hamilton's engineer, with certain calculations as to the on-site effect of runoff changes which would be created by the proposed subdivision. However, Mr. Hamilton has not supplied the information required by the Engineering Dept. and the Planning Board to demonstrate whether the present drainage system for the area to which his additional drainage would attach has adequate capacity for the total. The Board discussed the problem in de- tail with Mr. McSweeney, Director of Public Works, in the absence of the Town Engineer, noting a memorandum sent from the Engr. Dept. to the plan- ning office a few hours before the start of the meeting. The Board voted unanimously to reject these subdivision plans, as follows: FARMHURST V SUBDIVISION DISAPPROVAL OF DEFINITIVE PLAN VOTED: That the definitive subdivision plan entitled "Farmhurst, Section 5 in Lexington, Mass.", dated January 11, 1974, by Miller & Ny- lander, Diane E. Hamilton, applicant, is disapproved because this plan does not meet requirements with regard to storm water drainage. It was further voted that the planning director sign the notice of this vote on behalf of the Board after it is typed in proper form, and that he shall deliver this notice to the Town Clerk on July 30 and to the petition- er on the same day, the last day allowed by law for this action by the board in the absence of a request by the petitioner for an extension of this time
