<br />PLANNING BOARD MINUTES <br />MEETING OF MARCH 26, 2007 <br /> <br />A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, was held in Room G-1, Town Office Building, and <br />called to order at 6:05 p.m. by Vice Chairman Hornig, with members Canale, Zurlo and planning staff <br />McCall-Taylor and Henry present. Ms. Manz and Mr. Galaitsis arrived while the meeting was in <br />progress. <br />*********************************TOWN MEETING************************************ <br />Article 5, Tree Maintenance - There was a brief discussion of the issues of presentation and the order for <br />the motions. Mr. Canale will present the article. The report to Town Meeting was signed. <br /> <br />Non-zoning Articles - Mr. Hornig went through the warrant and asked Board members to indicate if there <br />were any articles they wanted to take action on for a recommendation to Town Meeting. The Board had <br />previously voted to support Article 13, the Tree Bylaw, and Article 15, the Demolition Delay Bylaw. The <br />Board decided to delay action on Article 16, Anti-Idling. Any other recommendations to Town Meeting <br />will be done on the floor of Town Meeting as needed. <br /> <br />Article 4, Inclusionary Zoning- The Report to Town Meeting was signed by the four members who voted <br />to recommend the article to Town Meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Galaitsis announced that he would be speaking against Article 4. Ms. McCall-Taylor said that she <br />felt his statement should be done as a Town Meeting member, not as a minority report of the Planning <br />Board. He said it was a minority opinion, not a report. He stated that the moderator thought it was <br />appropriate for him to present immediately following the Planning Board report and from the podium <br />rather than from the “no” microphone. Mr. Galaitsis left the meeting to prepare for Town Meeting. <br /> <br />The remaining members continued to discuss the presentation of Article 4 and issues that might need to <br />be addressed. They discussed whether or not they would serve notice of reconsideration on Article 4 after <br />the vote at Town Meeting. They decided to leave the decision to the Planning Board chairman Ms. Manz <br />as it would depend on how close the vote was and whether or not it was a favorable vote. <br />On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn the meeting at 6:30 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> Gregory Zurlo, Clerk <br />
