<br />PLANS NOT REQUIRING SUBDIVISION APPROVAL
<br />31. Land on Hartwell Avenue, Opposite Hartwell Place, Alfred Tropeano, Form A-84/3:
<br />On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Flemings, it was voted unanimously:
<br />That the plan entitled "Plan of Land in Lexington, Mass." dated February 10,
<br />1984, by Miller & Nylander Company, Lexington, Mass., certified by Donald J.
<br />Forand, Registered Land Surveyor, with application Form A-84/3, by Alfred P.
<br />Tropeano, does not require approval under the Subdivision Control Law.
<br />' 32. 124-128 Spring Street, Beal Company, Form A-84/4: The Board reviewed a plan
<br />dated December 13, 1983, of the Ledgemont property at 124-128 Spring Street which
<br />showed a Parcel A, with 10.085 acres and containing the existing Ledgemont research
<br />buildings. Mr. Bowyer commented that if the property were subdivided as proposed,
<br />there would be a potential violation of the floor area ratio requirement proposed
<br />in Article 18. As the notice for the public hearing on Article 18 had been pub-
<br />lished prior to the submission of the application for Form A-84/4, the applicants
<br />would be considered to be on notice of the effect of the floor area ratio require-
<br />ment if adopted. Both of the proposed lots have sufficient frontage.
<br />Mr. Sorensen commented, and other members agreed, that as both proposed lots have
<br />sufficient frontage, the Planning Board should sign the plan although that does not
<br />imply compliance with zoning regulations. The Board discussed what steps the Town
<br />should take to deal with zoning violations that may occur as the result of the
<br />Planning Board's endorsement of an Approval Not Required plan. It was decided to
<br />seek the advice of Town Counsel in this regard. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen,
<br />seconded by Mrs. Nichols, it was voted unanimously to lay the item on the table.
<br />SUBDIVISION OF LAND
<br />33. Maple Tree Village, Extension of Time: The Board was in receipt of a letter
<br />from Landmark Associates, dated February 27, 1984, requesting an extension of time
<br />for action on the definitive subdivision plan. On the motion of Mrs. Flemings,
<br />seconded by Mr. Sorensen, it was voted unanimously to approve the request of Land-
<br />mark Associates that the time for action on the definitive subdivision plan and the
<br />special permit be extended until April 5, 1984.
