BOARD OF APPEALS <br />June 6, 1977 <br />The Board of Appeals held a work -session for the purpose of discussing <br />various proposed zoning amendments to the Lexington Zoning By-laws. The <br />meeting was held in Room G5, Town Office Building beginning at 8 p.m. <br />Notice was posted with the Town Clerk on May 31, 1977. <br />Present: George P. Wadsworth, Chairman <br />Ruth Morey, Vice Chairman <br />Woodruff M. Brodhead <br />Thomas G. Taylor <br />Haskell W. Reed, Associate <br />A. Lee Whitman, Associate <br />Clarence'Turner <br />Discussion brought forth several problems which constantly face the Board. <br />Sections 25 (Use Regulations Schedule) and Section 30 (Non -Conforming Uses) are <br />unclear as currently worded, resulting in differences of opinions as to inter- <br />pretations by Board of Appeals, Building and Inspection Departments, and the <br />Planning Board. <br />The continuing problem of enforcement of conditions imposed by the Board <br />of Appeals when granting certain permits was also discussed. <br />' It was acknowledged that Chapter 808, the State's new Zoning Act, may <br />introduce other new phases of zoning for consideration. The Town must accept <br />Chapter 808 and make its zoning by-laws conform to same by June 1978. It is <br />anticipated that the Planning Board has thoughts of broadening its powers under <br />this act. <br />No formal action was taken at this meeting. <br />The meeting adjourned at 10:00 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Evelyn F. Cole <br />Administrative Clerk <br />BOARD OF APPEALS <br />
