PLANNING BOARD MEETING I February 6, 1967 The Lexington Planning Board held a regular meeting in its office, Town Office Building, on Monday, February 6, 1967. The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Greeley wtth members Campbell, Fowle, Riffin and Worrell, and Planning Director Zaleski present. Messrs. Swift and Jorguson of Honeywell Radiation Center submitted plans for a proposed building at Forbes Rd. and answered questions by members of the Board. Following a brief review, the Board voted to recommend a favorable Finding and Determination by the Board of Appeals. The Board next considered a request by Hartwell -West- view Trust (Weston-Rotek) for a Board of Appeals variance permitting parking 15 ft. from the property line instead of the required 25 ft. It was the opinion of the Board that the problem of the parking can be resolved in a way other than a variance, such as by a relocation of the parking area to the southwest. The Board therefore voted to be recorded in opposition to the variance. HONEYWELL, INC. HARTWELL-WESTVIEW TRUST (WESTON-ROTEK) The Board next met with Mr. Frank L. Stevens, Jr. to discuss the possible rezoning and land uses for the former STEVENS REZONING C. J. Maney land at Bedford St. No decision was reached MANEY PROPERTY since Mr. Stevens expressed himself as being opposed to any rezoning except to C 2. Messrs. J. Busa, J. Moore and Atty. F. Conroy came to the Board and presented a sketch showing a subdivision of BUSA LAND OFF Busa land off Lincoln St. ending in a cul-de-sac 830'x' feet LINCOLN ST. long, or connected to Elena Rd. Mr. Conroy and Mr. Moore stated that any other layout, even if possible, would not be attractive or desirable. Mrs. Riffin suggested the possi- bility of the town buying some of the land in back for neigh- borhood playground. Mr. Conroy felt that the financial loss to Mr. Busa would make the cost of such land prohibitive. An- other alternative discussed was making two cul-de-sacs, one from Elena Rd. and one from Lincoln St., each less than 650 ft. long. Mr. Zaleski suggested that the developer should explore the possibility of cutting down the length of the dead-end street and making the last few lots oversize, so that the length will be substantially less than 830 feet, even though still somewhat in excess of 650 feet. As requested by the developer and recommended by the Town Engineer, the Board VOTED: to authorize the reduction of $65,000 surety on Mason MASON ST. ' St. to $60,000.
