1 i L PLANNING BOARD MEETING April 26, 1978 The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was called to order at 7:08 p.m. by the chairman Mr. Zabin with members Wheaton, Friedman, Sandy, Nichols, planning director Briggs, and secretary Mrs. Snow present. Also in attendance was Ted Osborn, D.A.C. Norman Dahl, spokesman for Meadowland Inc.neighborhood association, and several association members were present for discussion of a 3 -lot subdivision of a portion of the Daisy Wilson land. Financial aspects of road construction and utility installation were discussed and Mr. Dahl requested Planning Board consideration of approval of a common drive to serve the 2 rear lots. The Association is seeking a way to have future owners of the lots assume responsibility for road and utility cots and installation at the time of purchase. An alternate layout plan was shown with all lots fronting on Moreland Ave. It was generally agreed that layout #1 (with 2 rear lots) was to be preferred based on hydrological and topographical features of the site. The proponents will return on May 1, when discussion will be resumed. DAISY WILSON LAND Mr. Briggs reported on possible action of the Board of Selectmen to lift SEWER MORA - lift the sewer moratorium. The Planning Board will recommend by letter TORIUM to the Selectmen that the restriction be continued until the infiltration and surcharging problems have been solved. Mr. Briggs reported on the extent of the Honeywell petition (4/27 B/A HONEYWELL hearing) to allow expansion at the Forbes Rd. facility. Since the B/A 4/27 proposed construction would not call for increased parking, nor impact existing parking, it was agreed that no comment would be made on the proposal. The Curtin petition for variance to allow increased floor area in a pro- CURTIN B/A posed office building at 271 Lincoln St. was again reviewed at the re- quest of Mr. Briggs (see 4/24 minutes). In the light of recalculation of usable square footage of floor area in the proposed building, parking provisions are deemed to be adequate as shown (24 spaces). Letter to the B/A recommending denial of the variance will be prepared based on lack of hardship and poor siting of the structure. It will also be recommended that the development, if allowed, be constructed in strict conformance with the rendering submitted. Copy of the rendering will accompany the letter. Plan submitted with Application Form A78-8, and discussed on April 24, FORM A78-8 showing Lot 19 (11271) Lincoln St., submitted by Jane F. Curtin, was re- CURTIN viewed. Upon a motion duly made and seconded, it was VOTED LINCOLN ST. The plan entitled "Plan of Land in Lexington, Mass.", dated February 16, 1978, by Miller and Nylander, submitted on April 14, 1978, with Appl. Form A78-8 by Jane F. Curtin, showing.Lot 19 at Lincoln St. requires no approval under the Subdivision Control Law.
