PLANNING BOARD MEETING February 11, 1980 The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was called to order at 7:35 p.m. by the chairman Dr. Friedman with members Sandy, Wheaton, Nichols, Zabin, and administrative clerk Mrs. Snow present. Also in attendance were Charles Downe, planning consultant and Peter DiMatteo, Building Commissioner. Board of Appeals members Mrs. Morey and Mr. Brodhead were present for dis- USE VARIANCE cussion of the Use Variance Article 64. The Board of Appeals was asked ART. 64 to present the Article as worded, allowing use variances but it did not appear that that Board would be willing to do so. If the Article is to be presented by the Planning Board, a motion will be made to exclude the grant- ing of use variances. Mrs. Morey suggested amendment of the Article (to be presented by the Planning Board) so that the wording complies exactly with Chapter 808 text. John McWeeney, Stop and Shop Companies, was present to submit a substitute STOP & SHOP proposal for Article 73 (Stop & Shop additional parking to CD). The ART. 73 plan decreases aisle widths, enlarges the green belt and eliminates three spaces in the new parcel. The immediate abuttor would be buffered by a fence and plantings and the fence fronting on Bedford Street would be lowered from six feet to four feet. If rezoning is granted for the new parcel, a gross total of 203 spaces will result. Paul Castleman's January 38, 1980, letter requesting reduction of surety on MOUNTAIN RD.
