APPLICATIONS TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS 6 North Hancock Street, Richard Folsom: SP, take out food service: Mrs. Smith, who formerly lived on North Hancock Street, said she was opposed to an operation that has cooking on the premises. Mr. Sorensen, who lives adjacent to Lexington center, stated that despite all claims about ventilation controls, food odors from restaruants still permeate the area. On the motion of Mrs. Flemings, sec- onded by Mr. Sorensen, it was voted unanimously to recommend against granting the special permit if there is any cooking allowed on the premises. 70 Westview Street, Kiln Brook IV: Thomas and Frederick Dupree were present to discuss the addition included in the special permit approving the Kiln Brook IV development. The Duprees stressed that the type of physical limitation on the use of parking spaces, which was applied to buildings such as Signatron, Nolan Norton, and Itek, was undesirable for their development which consisted of sever- al tenants. They proposed to monitor the situation and negotiate with their tenants to insure compliance. The Board insisted on a specific plan in the event the monitoring effort did not produce compliance. There must be more than a good faith effort. The Board ' suggested an independent traffic monitor be retained to take surveys not more than two months apart. The developer would pay for the traffic monitor who would report to the Town and to the developer. If there were violations in two succes- sive reporting periods, the developer would have to use a predetermined alterna- tive plan. That could be physical restraints on the use of parking spaces during peak hours or some other specific plan agreed upon in advance. The Planning Board did agree that designating the 4:00-5:00 p.m. one-hour period during the afternoon peak hour was acceptable. The Board and the Dupree brothers could not reach agreement. The Duprees object- ed to identifying a specific alternative to restrict traffic movement if the traffic monitoring system shows non-compliance. On the motion of Mr. Cripps, seconded by Mrs. Uhrig, it was agreed to report to the Board of Appeals that the Planning Board and the Dupree brothers did not reach agreement, to outline the positions of the two parties and to refer the matter back to the Board of Appeals who would have the responsibility to: 1) develop a system of compliance, and 2) to identify enforcement actions if the compliance is not achieved. It was agreed this communication would be a report and not a recommendation. SUBDIVISION OF LAND 13. Pine Meadows Golf Course, Preliminary Subdivision: The Board reviewed a draft of a decision on the preliminary subdivision plan. It was agreed to reor- ganize the report into two sections, one tied to specific provisions in the Subdivision Rules and Regulations with which compliance is required and the
