Also present David George, Zoning Administrator and Dianne Cornaro, Administrative Clerk. Petition Address: 7 -11 Massachusetts Avenue The relief sought is for a Modification of an existing Variance to allow permission to park up to 35 vehicles on the premises on an overnight basis. The Chairman continued the hearing at 7:30 PM by asking the Board members if they had questions regarding the letter received from Attorney William Daley in response to the concerns to be addressed by the petitioner. The Board mentioned that there were no Conservation issues addressed in the letter. Attorney Daley said it is a given that they would address the Conservation's conditions. Also not addressed in the letter was any mention of looking for another site. Attorney Daley is in the process of drafting a letter to the Board of Selectmen asking if they could consider using the landfill site for parking the town's towed vehicles. It was asked what item two about leakage meant and it was explained that they will make sure that any sign of leakage will be drained before any vehicle is moved from an accident scene. At the previous meeting on October 12, 2006 it had been indicated that the petitioner had a contract with the Town of Lexington for towing services, there has been no contract for towing services for four years but the Town has continued to call Mal's for their towing. Attorney Daley said they would like to work with the town to find a place that is suitable to store the towed cars. Hearing was closed at 7:40 PM. Discussion: In discussing the letter the Board agree that the language needs to be tightened for Conservation approval for the wetlands and conservation land.
