<br />MEETING OF JUNE 18, 1984
<br />The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in Room G-15, Town Offices, was
<br />called to order at 7:42 p.m. by the Chairman, Mrs. Smith with members Cripps,
<br />Flemings, Sorensen, Uhrig and Planning Director Bowyer present.
<br />133. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
<br />On separate motions by Mr. Sorensen, each seconded by Mr. Cripps, the minutes of
<br />the meetings of March 26, 1984 and March 28, 1984 were approved unanimously as
<br />written.
<br />PLANS NOT REQUIRING SUBDIVISION APPROVAL
<br />134. 186-200 Grant Street, Carlson Florist Inc., Form A-84/13: The Board reviewed
<br />a plan showing land owned by Carlson Florist Inc. and the Estate of Anna Carlson
<br />assembled into three lots. Lot 2 has 140 feet of frontage and Lot 3 has 100 feet
<br />of frontage; the property is in an RO district where the minimum frontage is 150
<br />feet. Mr. Bowyer reported his understanding, based on a conversation with an
<br />engineer in the land court, was that these lots were recorded in 1948 when the
<br />minimum frontage was 100 feet. The plan showed a number of lots with inadequate
<br />frontage and area and it was not clear what the effect the endorsement of this plan
<br />would be. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mr. Cripps, it was voted
<br />unanimously:
<br />To not endorse the plan entitled, "Plan of Land in Lexington, Mass., Being a
<br />' Subdivision of Land Court Case 20911A and 18397A," by Nelson Engineering Inc.,
<br />Concord, Mass., certified by Ralph D. Nelson, Registered Land Surveyor, with
<br />application Form A-84/13 by Carlson Florist Inc., because it is a subdivision
<br />within the meaning of the Subdivision Control Law and requires approval
<br />because neither proposed Parcel B or C has sufficient frontage.
<br />The Board agreed that it might endorse the plan if evidence is submitted that the
<br />lots shown comply with the minimum frontage requirements in effect at the time of
<br />their creation.
<br />135. 55-65 Robbins Road, Estate of Alfred Joseph, Form A-84/14: The Board was in
<br />receipt of a letter from attorney Dean Nicholson, dated June 14, 1984, stating that
<br />lots 27, 28, and 29 have been maintained and conveyed as separate lots. The
<br />current plan shows lot 28 and lot 29 combined into one lot with lot 27, with 85
<br />feet of frontage, kept as a separate lot. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded
<br />by Mr. Cripps, it was voted unanimously:
<br />To endorse the plan entitled "Plan of Land in Lexington, Mass.," dated May 23,
<br />1984, by Raymond Engineering Service, Burlington, Mass., certified by Raymond
<br />J. Garcia, Registered Land Surveyor, with Form A-84/14 by Dean Nicholson,
<br />attorney for the Estate of Alfred T. Joseph, because it is represented that
<br />such plan is a confirmation of existing lots lines and shows lot 28 and lot 29
<br />combined into one and shows lot 27, with frontage of 85 feet, less than
<br />required by current zoning, and such plan does not require approval under the
<br />Subdivision Control Law. The Planning Board makes no determination as to
<br />whether lot 27 is a building lot for zoning purposes.
