PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF MAY 1, 2007 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was held in Estabrook Hall at Cary Hall, and called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chairman Manz with members Hornig, Canale, Zurlo, Galaitsis and planning staff McCall-Taylor, Henry and Kaufman present. ************************* ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT***************** SUBDIVISION OF LAND PUBLIC HEARINGS Walnut Street, Lexington Hills, Continued Public Hearing Conventional Subdivision Definitive Plans: At 7:05 p.m. Ms. Manz opened the continued public hearing on Lexington Hills. In attendance for the development team were Gary Larson, landscape architect, Attorney Ed Grant, Frederick Russell, civil engineer, and Habib Aminipour, Omeed Aminipour and Joseph Lerman, property owners. Mr. Larson said they did a site walk on Saturday and found the cart path with stonewall remnants which ties into the site. There is a 12-foot walking path easement between lots 5 & 6 with an approximate 4-foot change in grade, which would connect to the cart path. Mr. Larson said that he had come up with some possible names for the roads -- Cart Path Lane, Stagecoach Way, Milk Run Lane, and Wheelwright Road. The proposed subdivision name would be Wellington Farm Estates. Ms. McCall-Taylor stated there were existing roads named Milk, Wheeler, and Wright, which might cause confusion. After some discussion, it was decided that the road names would be Cart Path Road for the longer road and Stagecoach Road for the shorter one, although the Board was willing to consider some other name than Stagecoach Road. Mr. Canale stated that at the site visit he looked at the location of the pathway along Walnut Street and it seems to be an acceptable compromise. Ms. Manz asked for confirmation that Potter Pond has given permission to use their property for the pathway and that an easement must be obtained from the state to have the pathway go through state property. Mr. Larson stated that Potter Pond had agreed to the connection. If the state fails to approve the easement then the applicant would need to come back to the Planning Board to amend the special permit. Ms. Manz also raised the issue from the previous week regarding the improvement of Walnut Street. Mr.
