PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2014 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room, was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chairman Charles Hornig, with members Nancy Corcoran- Ronchetti, Richard Canale, Greg Zurlo, and Timothy Dunn and planning staff Maryann McCall- Taylor, Aaron Henry, and Lori Kaufman present. **********************DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION*********************** 30 & 32 Moreland Avenue, ANR: Staff explained that the applicant for Moreland Avenue brought forward an ANR to finalize variances granted by the ZBA dividing the original parcel and was now before the Planning Board to divide or subdivide the parcels. The old regulations allowed this to be done through an ANR. The updated regulations now conform with the Subdivision Control Law procedure, which concludes that the plan for Moreland Avenue was a subdivision due to lack of the required frontage for the district and therefore not entitled to an ANR endorsement. Staff was requesting that the Board waive the submission standards to allow a single page plan and waive the frontage requirements. Mr. Joel Werrick, the applicant, believed that after following what was protocol in the past for Zoning of going before the ZBA, waiting the appeal period, recording the document at the registry, getting a new address from the Board of Selectmen, filing for a building permit and then getting an ANR endorsement, that everything would be all set. Mr. Hornig said that there was a clear statutory process that could not be waived, but the Board could streamline the approval as much as possible. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 5-0, that the plan at 30 & 32 Moreland Avenue showed a subdivision and would need to go through the subdivision process to legally subdivide the parcels. That decision should be filed with the Town Clerk. The Board agreed to waive the submission standards for a definitive plan at this time, which would allow the applicant to re-submit this plan with some minor modifications in lieu of a full submission.
