PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF APRIL 23, 1984 The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in Room G-15, Town Offices, was called to order at 7:35 p.m. by the Chairman, Mrs. Smith, with members Cripps, Flemings, Sorensen, Uhrig and Planning Director Bowyer present. SUBDIVISION OF LAND 98. Lincoln Hills, off Jean Road, PUBLIC HEARING: At 7:35 p.m., Chairman Smith called to order a public hearing on a special permit for a conventional subdivi- sion. Mr. Bowyer explained that a definitive subdivision plan and a special permit had been approved in 1980 but the special permit had lapsed after two years with no action. Jeffrey Pechet stated he had purchased the property from Michael Saulich and there would be no change from the definitive subdivision plan approved in 1980 with one exception. Sewer connections will now be made from each of the two houses to the sewer constructed in 1983 in Jean Road rather than connecting across the land of Temple Isaiah to the sewer in Lincoln Street. Several residents from Jean Road were present and expressed concern about the restoration of Jean Road after any construction activity from the subdivision. Marshall Derby, representing Temple Isaiah, spoke in favor of the special permit. The hearing was closed at 8:07 p.m. and the Board took the application under advisement. ' 99. Maple Tree Village, off Maple Street, Landmark Associates, PUBLIC HEARING: The hearing on the application for approval of a definitive subdivision plan and a special permit for a conventional subdivision, which had been recessed since January 23, 1984, was reconvened at 8:12 p.m. Land surveyor Roger Corbin, repre- senting Landmark Associates, reported there had been a meeting with the State Department of Environmental Quality Engineering at the site and the State had determined the earlier filling of wetlands would not be a factor in this subdivi- sion plan. Corbin said the applicant wanted to work out a satisfactory arrangement with the Conservation Commission without relying on a State interpretation. The plan has reduced the size of the house on lot 4, reduced the size of the building site on lot 4 and does not involve any filling of wetlands. The retention area, which was designed to compensate for filling of 5,000 square feet of wetlands, is still in the plan. Thus, the retention area is overdesigned, as there no longer will be any filling, and should more than handle any run off from the construction of a new street or other impervious surfaces. The applicant will meet with the Conservation Commission on April 24 and may reach a final determination on the Order of Conditions. The Planning Board agreed to defer action on the subdivision until April 25 when, presumably, the Conservation Commission will have made its determination. Several residents were present. Sal Spignese questioned the effect of a fourth lot on the creek that passes through his lot. The hearing was closed at 8:34 p.m.
