Williams Alternate Member: Hank Manz Administrative Staff: Jennifer Gingras, Zoning Administrator and Sharon Coffey, Administrative Clerk Address: 45 Fottler Avenue The petitioner is requesting a SPECIAL PERMIT in accordance with the Zoning By-Law (Chapter 135 of the Code of Lexington) section(s) 135-9.4 and 135-8.4.2 to allow reconstruction of a non-conforming accessory structure. The petitioner submitted the following information with the application: Nature and Justification, Plot Plan and Plans. Prior to the meeting, the petitions and supporting data were reviewed by the Building Commissioner, Conservation Administrator, Town Engineer, Board of Selectmen, the Planning Director, the Historic District Commission Clerk, Historical Commission, Economic Development, and the Zoning Administrator. Comments were received from the Zoning Administrator. The applicant requested a continuance to the July 9, 2020 Hearing. The Zoning Administrator stated the applicant had a meeting with the Conservation Commission scheduled for Monday June 8, 2020 and the applicant did not attend the meeting and did not notify they were not attending the meeting. The Conservation Commission closed the Hearing. The Commission was supposed to address storm water issues but nothing was addressed. They are scheduled to go back Monday June 15, 2020 so the Conservation Commission can make a decision but they have to deny them because they closed the hearing. They only contacted us to request the continuance and have not contacted Conservation at this time. Chair, Ralph D. Clifford, stated he doesn't think they have reasons to deny the continuance. A Board Member, David G. Williams, questioned how many times the Board will allow them to continue. Mr. Clifford stated this is about the fourth time they have continued. The Board could flag this as the last continuance. A Board Member, Jeanne K. Krieger, stated if they do go to the Conservation Commission they may not be done by July 9, 2020.
