PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF MARCH 6, 2013 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in Room 137 of Clarke Middle School, was called to order at 9:03 p.m. by Chairman Richard Canale with members Charles Hornig and Nancy Corcoran-Ronchetti and planning staff Maryann McCall-Taylor present. The newly elected member Nancy Corcoran-Ronchetti was welcomed to the Board. Ms. McCall-Taylor presented a brief overview of the draft Zoning Bylaw, indicating that the changes discussed at the last meeting and by the working group of Mr. Canale, Mr. Hornig, the Building Commissioner Mr. Garry Rhodes and planning staff were incorporated into the document. She recommended that it be brought forward to Town meeting for adoption. On a th motion duly made and seconded, the Board, by a vote of 3 to 0, voted to accept the March 6 draft of the Zoning Bylaw as the motion to bring forward to Town Meeting, and to recommend its adoption. Since it was not a vote of the entire Board, it will be put on a future agenda to allow the other members to vote as well. There was a discussion of the documents that would be used at Town Meeting. In addition to the Board’s report there will be available a summary of the changes. Due to the size to the bylaw, the Town Meeting Members will be asked to review it on-line, although copies will be made available to those who wish them. **********************ZONING BYLAWS (ZBL) REWRITE ************************ With all the activity around Town Meeting, the Board felt it was important to have the Planning Board represented on the Community Preservation Committee and wanted an immediate replacement for Ms. Manz who had so ably represented the Board until the end of her term. The Board, on a motion duly made and seconded, voted to name Richard Canale as the temporary Planning Board representative to the Community Preservation Committee, to serve until replaced.
