Minutes of the Lexington Zoning Board of Appeals February 9, 2006 Present: Chairman — Judith J. Uhrig, Arthur C. Smith, Nyles Barnert, John J. McWeeney and Maura Sheehan. Petition Address: 10 Maguire Road The relief sought is for a Modification of a Special Permit granted in December, 2005, to remove condition of nighttime use restrictions. The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:48 PM by reading the legal notice and described information received from the Petitioner relative to the Petition. We had received a memorandum from the Police Department regarding their attendance at the ICE public information meeting and finding no issues with the Special Permit. Prior to the hearing, the petition and supporting data were reviewed by the Building Commissioner, Conservation Administrator, Town Engineer, Health Director, Zoning Enforcement Officer and Planning Board. There were no comments from any Board or Commission. No written comments were received from any abutters. Attorney John Farrington presented the petition for Robert King of Essex River Ventures. Also attending the hearing were: Michael Dunbar, US Government General Services Administration; Jim Martin, Deputy Director of ICE New England; Bruce Chadbourne and Director of ICE New England. Attorney Farrington presented a petition signed in support by the tenants of 10 Maguire Road and gave a brief explanation of the modification needed. Questions from the Board: What are the normal working hours? (6:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday thru Friday) What happens when an individual is innocent and then released? (They have a family member pick up or they transport to where they were picked up.) Do they intermingle with anyone else in the building during processing? (No.) Do the arresting agents need to interact with anyone else during night processing? (No, just the agents will be there — they will not be adding a regular operating shift.) What role will Lexington Police have? (Only role is if they arrested someone with an outstanding warrant, they would detain them until ICE could pick them up.) Are other tenants free to come in during the night? (There are entry security cards for their particular areas.)
