BOA Meeting, December 10, 2009 4 <br /> Minutes of the Lexington Zoning Board of Appeals <br /> Selectmen's Meeting Room, Lexington Town Hall <br /> December 10, 2009 <br /> Board Members Present: Chairman Nyles N. Barnert, John J. McWeeney, Arthur C. <br /> Smith, Carolyn C. Wilson and Martha C. Wood <br /> Staff Present: Dianne L. Cornaro, Administrative Clerk and David L. George, Zoning <br /> Administrator <br /> Petition Address: 71 Bow Street, Map 20, Lot 90 <br /> Prior to the hearing, the petition and supporting data were reviewed by the Building <br /> Commissioner, Conservation Administrator, Town Engineer, Health Director, Board of <br /> Selectmen, the Zoning Administrator, the Planning Administrator and Historic Districts <br /> Commission Clerk. Comments were received from the Planning Department, <br /> Engineering and the Zoning Administrator. <br /> The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:58 pm by reading the legal notice and described <br /> information received from the petitioner relative to the petition. <br /> Letters of concern to save the footpath were received from Karen Thompson, 7 <br /> Albemarle Avenue and David Weissburg of 11 Rindge Avenue. <br /> Attorney Donna Jalbert Patalano, representing Dianne and Anthony Augustine, presented <br /> the petition. She presented the Board with letters of support for her petition from 8 <br /> Rindge Avenue, 77 Bow Street, 79 Bow Street, 83 Bow Street, 84 Bow Street, 94 Bow <br /> Street and 99 Bow Street. <br /> The applicant is requesting to modify a condition of a variance granted March 20, 1997. <br /> The board approved the variances subject to the condition, "... that a marker and <br /> cobblestone striping be installed on the footpath to clearly identify and delineate the area <br /> of the right of way." The `right of way' is located adjacent to the applicant's lot and is <br /> shown as 7 -ft. wide footpath on the plan of land submitted with the application. <br /> Attorney Patalano explained the history of the neighborhood development and concluded <br /> that, "... the locus does not abut or contain a right of way... [and] ... it is impossible to <br /> delineate a non -exist right of way or footpath." The applicant contends that the ZBA was <br /> in error in placing the condition and overstepped the bounds of its authority in placing the <br /> condition to the variance. <br /> To support their point, the applicant provided research conducted in 2007. Her conclusion <br /> was that no deeds exist that contain an easement allowing access to the paper street to any <br /> other party beside the direct abutters to the paper street. As a result, the condition should <br /> be removed. <br />
