Minutes of the Lexington Zoning Board of Appeals — January 27, 2005 <br /> Present: Chairman Judith J. Uhrig, Arthur C. Smith, Maura L. Sheehan, Associate David G. Williams <br /> sitting in for John J. McWeeney and Associate Leo McSweeney sitting in for Nyles N. Barnert <br /> Petition Address: 675 Waltham Street <br /> The Chairman opened the hearing at 7:45 PM by reading the legal notice and described information <br /> received from the Petitioner, other Boards and Commissions relative to the Petition. There were <br /> comments read from Conservation and the Zoning Enforcement Officer. <br /> Atty. William Dailey, Jr. presented the petition and pictures showing netting and plantings that had been <br /> put in place as requested by the board due to a neighbor's complaint during hearing last year. He also <br /> presented pictures of a locked gated fence that had been installed explaining the reason it is gated is to <br /> allow tractor - trailer trucks to turn around in parking lot when needed for sod deliveries. <br /> The relief sought is for a 5 -year extension to a special permit originally granted in 1993 and a variance <br /> to allow for use 4 poles of an approximate height of 25 feet with attached netting along a portion of the <br /> northerly boundary of the property. The total length of the fence formed by the poles and netting is <br /> approximately 75 feet. <br /> Questions from the Board: <br /> Mrs. Uhrig: When I went by today the gate was opened. Answer: That was because of some of the <br /> snow removal that was going on today. <br /> Do you have any letters from neighbors? Answer: Yes, a letter from the neighbor that had concern last <br /> year about balls going into his yard wrote a letter in October of 2004 regarding his pleasure with the <br /> work that was done to address his concerns. <br /> There were no questions from the audience. <br /> No one spoke in favor. <br /> No speakers in opposition. <br /> Hearing was closed. <br /> Decision on variance: On a Motion by David Williams and seconded by Leo McSweeney, the board <br /> voted 5 -0 to grant variance for height of netting. <br /> Decision on special permit: On a motion by Arthur Smith and seconded by Leo McSweeney, the board <br /> voted 5 -0 to approved to extend the special permit with same conditions for a 5 year term. <br /> Submitted by Dianne Cornaro, Clerk <br />
