1 1 Page 2 6.30.75 Plan submitted by Raymond J. Howland, Jr. with Application Form A75-18, showing land at Blossomcrest St. was reviewed. Previous endorsement of a plan showing the same land under Form A74-15 was referred to, and Mr. Briggs explained the purpose of the new submission to record access in a differ- ent location (access to Lot A). It was agreed that a notation, "Lot A. 3.25 acres, is not a buildable lot", should be added to the plan. Upon a motion duly made and seconded, it was VOTED: The plan submitted on June 30, 19759 by Raymond J. Howland, Jr., FORM A75-18 entitled "Plan of Land in Lexington, Mass.", dated December 12, 1974, BLOSSOMCREST by David W. Perley, showing Lots 1, 29 3 and 4 and Lot A on Blossom- ST. HOWLAND crest Rd., requires no approval under the Subdivision Control Law. Following addition of the notation referring to Lot A, the planning director will endorse the plan on behalf of the Board. Memo from the Board of Selectmen, accompanied by six letters from Lexing- ton residents.requesting sale of tax title land, was noted. The Planning Board was asked its position on these requests and each letter was reviewed and the land in question pointed out on assessors maps. The planning director will inform the Selectmen of decisions of the Board on each of the requests. At 8 p.m., John Connery, MAPC, met with the Board to discuss methods of assistance by HUD, DNR, DCA, Mass. Audubon and MAPC to Lexington and 14 other Massachusetts communities in drawing up flood -plain and wetland zoning regulations. Mr. Connery gave background information on the National Flood Insurance Program procedures, and cited differences in control between State Wetland Protection Control and local control through zoning. It was agreed that since Lexington has already done extensive work in preparation of photogrammetric maps and other hydrological studies priority will probably be given by HUD in work on definitive wetland maps of the Town. Mr. Connery also offered his assistance to the Planning Board subcommittee on Wetlands. Qeustion arose as to whether Lexington could be reimbursed by HUD for performing its own studies pertinent to preparation of definitive Wetland maps. Mr. Conneiy will investigate this possibility and inform the Planning Board of the outcome in the near future. Dr. Clarke read a letter from Weiant Wathen-Dunn, Lexington Interfaith Corporation, requesting status as a buildable lot for a parcel owned by Interfaith on Garfield St.(which is now classified as a private way), by declaring the section of Garfield St. a legal way. The planning director will review the section of Garfield St. in question and report to the Board as to its condition, grade and construction. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Albert P.
