Page 2 of 6 Mr. Sandeen stated that he would be concerned about the message the Town would send if the Town exempted itself from complying with requirements it imposed on commercial developers. Ms. Barry read following statement submitted via email by Jeanne Krieger, the proponent of Article 39: “When I proposed Limited Site Plan Review I had not thought about the impacts of including Lexington Public Schools, but now I’m glad that I have had the opportunity to consider the implications. School construction projects are subject to considerable public process. Preparing for limited site plan review should not be a significant burden but would lend consistency and transparency. Abutters of public school projects should be treated to the same consideration as abutters of private school projects, namely review by the elected Planning Board. Minuteman Vocational School has already scheduled a hearing before the Planning Board for review of their recreational facility.” Mr. Kanter, Capital Expenditures Committee, stated he hopes the Board will support the School Committee’s proposed amendment. The Selectmen reviewed their positions, no edits were made. The position chart is appended to these minutes.
