PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2008 A meeting of the Lexington Planning Board in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room, Town Office Building was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Hornig with members Zurlo, Manz, Galaitsis and Canale and planning staff McCall-Taylor, Henry and Kaufman present. ***************************** 2008 TOWN MEETING*********************************** There was a discussion of minority reports regarding Articles 53-60. Mr. Hornig wanted a discussion on the issue, but not in context of Town Meeting’s discussion. Mr. Galaitsis said a report should contain both opinions. Mr. Zurlo said it was a good point to show deliberation on the issues and what thoughts went into the final decision of the Board in its reports. Ms. McCall-Taylor said the referenced minutes would give a sense of the discussions that lead up to the final decision of the Board. Mr. Hornig just wanted to address how to do the reports better next year. Mr. Canale said Mr. Hornig would be speaking for the Board and could respond for them as a Board. Mr. Hornig said the Board members could respond as individuals if asked. Ms. Manz said the Board needs a better way to incorporate the reservations of the minority votes in the Board reports. ***************************SUBDIVISION ADMINISTRATION*************************** 63 Paul Revere Road, Preliminary Reduced Frontage Subdivision Plan, Request for Extension of Time: Mr. Fred Russell on behalf of the applicant requested an extension of time.
