Mr. Williams asked about landscape (Mr. Sangola stated they did not do a landscape plan but they can. His wife is a landscape architect and can do something up). Chair, Ralph D. Clifford, stated on the sun solar plans, both are at noon, isn't that when shadows are least likely (Mr. Sangola responded yes, it's just the time that he picked). A Board member, Jeanne K. Krieger, asked about the gross floor area calculation (Mr. Sangola reviewed calculations). Mr. Sangola stated in summary the existing house was built in 1818 and moved to this site later on and fallen into to disrepair. They are going to enhance it. The design was based on keeping massing the same and a large drainage structure running through the site was a challenge. There were no questions or comments from the audience. On a motion made and seconded, the Board voted to close the hearing at 7:22 PM Mr. Williams suggested a condition that conservations concerns are addressed and satisfied. Also for the Design Advisory Committee to review the landscape plan (Mr. Sangola agreed to the conditions). There were no further questions or comments from the Board. On a motion by Jeanne K. Krieger and seconded by Nyles N. Barnert, the Board voted 5-0, to grant a SPECIAL PERMIT, in accordance with the Zoning By-Law (Chapter 135 of the Code of Lexington) sections 135-9.4 and 135-8.4.2 to allow an alteration to a non-conforming two-family residential structure in a single-family residential zone with the conditions stated.
