<br /> 83 Recent Activity
<br /> a. James Street: Mr Bowyer reported that the staff received a letter from Attorney Frederick Conroy
<br /> regarding the length of James Street that is on the list of unaccepted streets. Department records show that
<br /> Tringale's lot on James Street does not have frontage on an unaccepted street and is not a buildable lot. His
<br /> client must provide proof that the part of the street in front of the lot qualified as an unaccepted street.
<br /> h Middlesex County Hospital. The staff have been getting calls from developers about the Request for
<br /> Proposal issued by the County Commissioners for the Middlesex County Hospital site. The portion of the
<br /> hospital land that is in Lexington is in the RO, Single-Family, District. Any use other than continued use as a
<br /> public hospital or a single-family housing development would require a rezoning. So far, the process has not
<br /> involved Lexington or the City of Waltham.
<br /> c. Concord Avenue. George Issaians: Mr. Bowyer reported on new developments in the Issaians subdivision
<br /> application on Concord Street. The Revenue Officer is starting foreclosure proceedings on the property due to
<br /> non-payment of taxes.
