PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF OCTOBER 9, 2013 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room, was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Charles Hornig with members Richard Canale, Greg Zurlo, Michelle Ciccolo, and Nancy Corcoran-Ronchetti and planning staff Maryann McCall- Taylor, Aaron Henry, and Lori Kaufman present. ************************DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION********************* 7 Mountain Road, sketch plan Balanced Housing Development: The applicant had requested a postponement of the sketch plan review to another date. The Board agreed to move the sketch plan review to October 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room. ***************************ZONING BYLAW ADMINISTRATION****************** Medical Marijuana Treatment Center (MMTC): The open issues for consideration by the Planning Board on the MMTC included which districts would be appropriate to allow this use? The Board determined that the CB and CRS would be appropriate for distribution and the CM District for all aspects of this use would be acceptable. The other issue was if there should be more restrictions on setbacks since the State’s regulations were too vague. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 5-0, to request the Board of Selectmen to place on the warrant for the MMTC to allow all aspects of the use in the CM Zone and distribution only be allowed in the CB or CRS Zones and to defer the setback restrictions to the Board of Selectmen and Board of Health. Consolidation of small commercial districts: The Board discussed the possible consolidation of some of the smaller commercial districts, which might include modifying the district lines to parcel lines and policy issues regarding some current uses with any proposed changes. The Board provided some input, which staff will update in the 2014 work plan for discussion at a future meeting.
