2 <br /> Questions from the audience: <br /> Dr. Evelyn Roman, 87 Westview Street asked about the notification procedure for BOA <br /> meetings. <br /> The Director of ACA New England, 80 Westview Street, wanted to know what the ICE know <br /> now that they didn't know before to change the need for the evening hours. <br /> Rebecca Whitman, 5 Hancock Avenue, asked what the purpose was to have people brought in at <br /> night. The Director of the ICE explained that people are arrested the majority of the time during <br /> the day, but if someone is even stopped for a routine traffic ticket and they find there is a warrant <br /> out on them they will be brought in. <br /> Lorraine Montello, tenant at 10 Maguire Road, spoke in favor of the petition. <br /> Cheryl West, 75 Westview Street, Ann Fleming, representative of ACA New England, 80 <br /> Westview Street, Tom and Laura Sheehey, 11 Harrington Avenue, Rebecca and Edie Ruquist, 4 <br /> Hancock Avenue and Dr. Evelyn Roman and Mr. Dickson of 87 Westview Street all spoke <br /> strongly in opposition of the petition. <br /> Hearing was closed at 8:43 pm. <br /> Discussion and Findings: <br /> The Board took into consideration that there were no objection from either the Lexington or <br /> Bedford police departments; this would not entail another shift to be added; this would be an <br /> occasional need only, on average 30 - 35 times per year; that people were being processed only <br /> within average two to three hour time period and there would be no overnight holding done at <br /> this facility. <br /> On a motion by Nyles Barnert and seconded by John McWeeney, by unanimous vote, the Board <br /> of Appeals hereby GRANTS A MODIFICATION OF A SPECIAL PERMIT to Robert King <br /> representing Essex River Ventures in accordance with Table 1, Line 16.713 of the Code of the <br /> Town of Lexington to have condition three now read: "The Processing area shall be limited to <br /> the normal business hours of 6:00 am to 7:00 pm but occasional after hours processing shall be <br /> permitted as long as this does not occur on a regular basis." <br /> All other conditions of the original special permit shall remain the same. <br /> Submitted by: Dianne Cornaro, Clerk <br />
