PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MINUTES OF FEBRUARY 27, 1989 At 7: 15 p.m., the Lexington Planning Board attended the meeting of the Board of Selectmen to discuss: a. Suggested Guidelines for the Development of Affordable Housing on Vacant Public Sites, and b. Policy Positions and Comments About Meagherville-Pine Meadows . Individual selectmen made various suggestions for revisions to "Suggested Guidelines ...", which was approved by the Planning Board on January 23, 1989, but no consensus was reached by the Selectmen. In discussing the probable inclusion of some market rate housing units, both Boards agreed the objective should be to get the maximum number of affordable housing units while keeping the development economically feasible, and both Boards agreed to meet again in two weeks to resolve the differences. At 8:00 p.m., the Planning Board moved to Room 105 in the Town Office Building to conduct public hearings that were scheduled to begin in Estabrook Hall.
