PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF OCTOBER 1, 2014 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room, was called to order at 6:39 p.m. by Chairman Charles Hornig, with members Nancy Corcoran- Ronchetti, Richard Canale, Timothy Dunn, Ginna Johnson, and planning staff Maryann McCall- Taylor Aaron Henry and Lori Kaufman present. At 6:39 p.m., on a motion duly made and seconded, by a roll call vote of the Board – Mr. Hornig, Ms. Corcoran-Ronchetti, Mr. Canale, Mr. Dunn and Ms. Johnson – it was voted 5-0 to go into executive session for the purpose of discussing the potential litigation regarding the Lexington Hills subdivision and to return to public session. Further, the Chairman declared that an open meeting discussion may have detrimental effect on the litigating position of the Town. At 7:07 p.m. the Board returned to public session **********************DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION*********************** 83 Spring Street, Site Sensitive Sketch Plan : The applicant has requested that the Board move the sketch plan discussion to the next meeting on October 15 at 7:00 p.m. in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room. 7 Colony Road, Preliminary Subdivision Plan (street construction): Present were Patricia Nelson, attorney, James and Shirine Anderson, applicants, and Mike Kosmos, engineer. The Zoning Board of Appeals granted a variance from the zoning requirements for lot frontage and now must go before the Planning Board to waive the development regulation frontage requirements through the subdivision process. This process will create the new lots and the key issue would be the adequacy of the way. Mr. Kosmos presented the plan and a list of requested waivers in connection with the road improvement plan. Board Comments and Concerns:  There would need to be assurance that no trees would be lost with the construction trucks and guarantee tree protection and replacement if trees were lost.  Cape Cod berm would cause less disturbance to the site and less tree damage so that maybe considered by the Board.
