PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF JANUARY 7, 1985 The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in Room G-15, Town Offices, was called to order at 7:42 p.m., by the Chairman Mrs. Smith, with members Cripps, Flemings, Sorensen and Uhrig, and Planning Director Bowyer present. DETERMINATION OF GRADE AND CONSTRUCTION OF UNACCEPTED STREET 1. Evergreen Lane: CUS 85/1, Map 20 lot 7: The Board reviewed a plan showing proposed improvements to Evergreen Lane and a staff report dated January 4, 1985, which showed that the existing situation and proposed improvements would comply with the Planning Board's policy. The Town Engineer and the staff recommend that a one and one-half inch surface course of paving be placed over the existing pavement and that several small sections of roadway be widened to provide a uni- form width of 24 feet. The applicant has agreed to these changes and will supply the Board with an updated plan. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Flemings, it was voted unanimously that: 1.

If the improvements identified on "Plan and Profile of Evergreen lane" dated October 6, 1984, prepared by Miller and Nylander Company and bearing the stamp of Francis D. DiPietro, Regis- tered Professional Engineer, as revised by a sketch prepared by Arlene ' Davidson, Assistant Planner, to be shown in an updated plan, are made and a written certification by DiPietro is submitted, that the improve- ments, as shown on the revised plan, have been completed, then Evergreen Lane will be considered to be of adequate grade and construction. 2. The section of Evergreen Lane shall be considered to be of adequate grade and construction for a period of two years only from the time of Mr. DiPietro's written certification that the improvements have been made in conformity with the updated plan. 3. It is not desirable to have road construction occurring during the winter months and the Planning Board would not object to the Building Commissioner issuing a building permit for the construction of a dwell- ing prior to the construction of the road improvements provided no certificate of occupancy is issued until the improvements have been made and Mr. DiPietro's written certification has been received. 4. This opinion is limited to the grade and construction of the street only and should not be interpreted as implying that the lot under considera- tion meets other tests of the Zoning By-law to qualify it as a building lot. 2. APPLICATIONS TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS Mrs. Uhrig provided an oral review of the cases to be heard on January 10 and January 24, 1985. After discussion of each of the cases and agreement on a
