Recent Events a. Lexington Ridge. Waltham Street Mr. Bowyer reported on the Housing Appeals Committee continued hearing on Lexington Ridge's appeal of the Board of Appeal's decision approving the comprehensive permit with conditions. The session that he attended September 5 was the last evidentiary hearing and the decision will probably not be available for approximately 90 days b. 7 Brent Road. Developer Mark Moore and Streeter Stuart, 7 Brent Road, met with the staff to discuss possibilities for a 3 lot subdivi- sion on Mr Stuart's property. After the developable site area was computed, it appeared there was only enough lot area for a 2 lot subdivision. As there is already one house on the land and only one more house is permitted, it remains to be seen whether Moore will proceed. c Street Acceptances for 1992 Town Meeting Mr. Bowyer reported that only one subdivision street is ready to be proposed for acceptance at the 1992 Town Meeting. Due to the time it takes for the Engineering Department to prepare the street acceptances, the Town Engineer has asked that the request for Town acceptance of this street be postponed until the 1993 Town Meeting, when presumably, there will be additional streets ready to be proposed for Town acceptance. ********************* PLANNING PROJECTS, POLICY MAKING ****************** 173.
