<br /> DETERMINATION OF GRADE AND CONSTRUCTION OF UNACCEPTED STREETS
<br /> 37. Essex Street Lot J, Robert O'Keefe: The Board discussed the condition of
<br /> Essex Street as it relates to the status of Lot J as a building lot, following
<br /> a visit to the site. Joseph Steinkrauss, attorney for Mr. O'Keefe, noted the
<br /> lot was grandfathered. The Board questioned whether anything could be built
<br /> on the lot, given the steepness of the site, but agreed this would be a
<br /> question for the Building Commissioner. On the motion of Mrs. Wood, seconded
<br /> by Mr. Williams, it was voted 5-0 to determine that Essex Street, where it
<br /> abuts Lot J, is of adequate grade and construction, as defined in the Planning
<br /> Board's "Policy on Construction Standards For Unaccepted Streets Relative to
<br /> Building Lots".
<br /> I PLANS NOT REQUIRING APPROVAL UNDER THE SUBDIVISION CONTROL LAW
<br /> 38. Form A/89-1, Wachusett Drive, Sullivan: The Board discussed the con-
<br /> dition
<br /> of Wachusetts Drive following a visit to the site. They agreed the
<br /> pavement in front of the applicant's lot (Lot B) on Wachusetts Drive was 12 to
<br /> 14 feet wide; that the lot drops off sharply from the road; and that under the
<br /> provisions of the Planning Board's "Policy on Construction Standards For Unac-
<br /> cepted Streets Relative to Building Lots", Wachusetts Drive, where it abuts
<br /> Lot B, is not of adequate grade and construction, and can not provide legal
<br /> frontage for Lot B.
<br /> On the motion of Mr. Williams, seconded by Mrs. Wood, it was voted 5-0 that
<br /> Wachusetts Drive, where it abuts Lot B as shown on the plan submitted by the
<br /> applicant, entitled "Compiled Plan of Land in Lexington, Mass. (Middlesex
<br /> County)", dated December 1, 1988, is not of adequate grade and construction to
<br /> provide legal frontage for Lot B.
<br /> On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mr. Williams, it was voted 5-0 to
<br /> not endorse the plan entitled "Compiled Plan of Land in Lexington, Mass.
<br /> (Middlesex County)", dated December 1, 1988, by the BSC Group - Bedford, Inc.,
<br /> certified by Donald J. Forand, Professional Land Surveyor, with application
<br /> Form A/89-1 by John J. M. Sullivan, applicant, as it does show a subdivision
