PLANNING BOARD MINUTES <br />MEETING OF MAY 9, 1984 <br />The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in Room G-15, Town Offices, was <br />called to order at 7:40 p.m. by the Vice Chairman Mr. Sorensen, with members <br />Cripps, Flemings, Uhrig and Planning Director Bowyer present. Chairman Smith <br />joined the meeting in progress. <br />REPORTS <br />120. Housing Needs Advisory Committee: Town Meeting Questionnaire: Acting Chair- <br />man Eleanor Klauminzer was present with Ruth Nablo and William Spencer of the <br />Committee to describe a proposed opinion survey to be distributed to Town Meeting <br />Members. Mrs. Klauminzer said there were two reasons for the survey: 1) to place <br />policy questions before Town Meeting Members early; Town Meeting often only has an <br />opportunity to react to specific proposals and not to provide input on policy; and <br />2) to provide an opportunity to gauge public attitudes; the housing analysis is <br />primarily data oriented and does not deal with perceptions and attitudes. <br />She explained the plan was to make a brief presentation to the Town Meeting under <br />Article 2, to distribute the questionnaires and to have Town Meeting Members <br />return completed questionnaires to a designated person in each precinct or to mail <br />them to the Planning Board office. <br />ARTICLES FOR 1984 TOWN MEETING <br />121. Article 24, 16 Hayden Avenue, CD District: (Mrs. Uhrig disqualified herself <br />from the discussion and vote on this article.) Gregory Muzzy, Vice President of <br />Temple, Barker and Sloane, was present to report that, after the defeat of Article <br />24 on May 7, TBS had decided to revise the plan by removing the penthouse from the <br />roof. He said several Town Meeting Members had told him that if the building were <br />lower, they would vote for the rezoning. <br />Mr. Muzzy showed a revised plan which involves the removal of the penthouse and <br />the placement of air conditioning equipment on a pad on the site. He had a <br />drawing showing the height of the proposed building, as revised, in relation to <br />the height of the existing house. <br />In a poll of four members of the Planning Board, it was agreed the revision was <br />acceptable and the Planning Board would continue to recommend that the Town Meet- <br />ing approve the proposed CD district. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:07 p.m. <br />Judith J.
