PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF MARCH 21, 1985 The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in Room 111, Town Offices, was called to order at 7:37 a.m. by the Chairman, Mrs. Smith, with members Cripps, Flemings, Sorensen, Uhrig and Planning Director Bowyer present. ARTICLES FOR 1985 TOWN MEETING 85. Article 13, FAR, CM, CH Districts: Mr. Bowyer reported that the analysis of the site development characteristics was nearly completed. He had data on the aggregate floor area ratio for the CM and the two CH districts. The remaining task, identifying all private lots with development potential remaining, is important. That is a more accurate indicator of future growth potential than the aggregate total for the district. Mr. Sorensen suggested the Board recommend a floor area ratio of 0.25 for both the CH and CM districts. He based this recommendation on the dimensional stand- ards in the two districts and his observations of a number of buildings whose FAR was 0.25 or less. The Board made a preliminary review of a draft of the report on this article dated March 14, 1985. Editorial changes were suggested. It was agreed to try to make a decision and issue a report on both articles 11 and 13 by Wednesday, March 27. The meeting was adjourned at 8:04 a.m. s K�Judith J. UhnYg, Clerk 1
