The reason for the request is because there is a buyer for two lots. The remaining lots would be subject to the Floor Area Ratio adopted at the 2016 Annual Town Meeting. The applicant met with Greenways Committee and offered $3,000.00 for them to use for any maintenance, extension and improvements of footpaths in the vicinity of the Lexington Hills. Board Comments:  Grading of lots is not a smooth transition how would you ease that transition? Mr. Borenstein said the new location would be better for grading purposes.  Owners often come back to add additional impervious surface for additions, pools and other items how would that be dealt with? The remaining lots will be limited by GFA and site coverage.
