PLANNING BOARD MEETING ' April 27, 1964 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was held in its office, Town Office Building, on Monday, April 27, 1964. Present were chairman Beyer, members Bryson, Campbell, Greeley and Riffin, planning director Zaleski, and the secre- tary, Mrs. Macomber. At 8:00 p.m. a public hearing was called to order by the chairman on the petition of Pond Realty Trust for approval of a subdivision plan entitled f'Country Club Manor Section Two Lexington, Mass.",j dated Jan. 4, 1964. Mr. James Taurasi, representing Pond Realty Trust, and seven interested citizens were present. Mr. Taurasi explained that the plan had been taken up with Mr. Carroll, Town Engineer, and all his recommendations would be followed. Neighbors were particularly concerned with the drainage problem, there being a brook and high water table involved so that part of the land was wet much of the time. Mr. Taurasi stated that the brook was going to be piped into a culvert underground up as far as the pond and the land would then be filled and finished into lots. Mr. Taurasi was asked whether he would use a bond or covenent and replied he would use a covenant whereby no lot could be built upon until the street was found acceptable by the Town Engineer. When asked if Vaille Ave. might be extended beyond the present turnaround at some time in the future Mr. Taurasi replied that this could not be done because of existing buildings. A letter was read from Mr. John Bellizia, manager of Pine Meadows Country Club, an abuttor, objecting because he felt the development would cause water to run off onto his land and cause a serious drainage problem. A letter was also read from Town Engineer Carroll setting forth certain acceptances and recommendations. The hearing was declared closed at 8:25 p.m. The Chairman announced that the Conservation Commission had an appointment at 9:00 p.m. with the Selectgen to discuss its proposed program and wished to know if the Planning Board desired to support it. After some discussion it was decided that this would be useful to the town and to the Planning Board, and upon motion by I1r. Campbell, seconded by Mr. Bryson, it was unanimously VOTED: to strongly support the conservation commission proposal that the town contract with the U.S. Soil Conservation Service to prepare a soil inventory and analysis for the town.
