PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF MAY 16, 2007 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was held in Estabrook Hall at Cary Hall, and called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Manz with members Zurlo, Hornig and Canale and planning staff McCall-Taylor, Henry and Kaufman present. Mr. Galaitsis was absent. ************************************* MINUTES ************************************** Review of Minutes: The Board deferred the minutes of April 4, 11, 18, and 25, and May 1, 2007 until the next meeting. ************************* ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT***************** SUBDIVISION OF LAND 147 Shade Street- Preliminary Reduced Frontage Subdivision: The applicant’s engineer submitted revised plans on May 1, 2007, reflecting the changes sought by the Engineering Division in their memo dated 4/17/07 to the Planning Department. Mr. Henry’s memorandum of May 10, 2007 outlined the revisions, which are: both easements should be labeled “Access & Utility” easements; permanent bound/markers must be proposed for all property lines; electrical, cable and telephone service to both the existing and proposed homes must be shown; if foundations are to be below the Estimated Seasonal High Water Table, the water removal system must be shown and detailed; definitive plan should demonstrate that the proposed grade of the usable open space is less than 10%; proposed easements are to be submitted to Town Counsel before the filing of the definitive plan; and determination of the precise gross floor area and living area of the proposed house. Mr. Hornig said Lot 2 handles the water from Lot 1 and yet there is no access or drainage easement to benefit Lot 1. The Homeowner’s Association would need an easement. Mr. Hornig also stated that the existing utilities and gas from Lot 1 are not shown and need to be. He is willing to support the preliminary plan with conditions. He felt that easements for drainage, access and utilities need clarification and rectification.
