PLANNING BOARD MINUTES OF APRIL 14, 1986 The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in Room G-15, Town Office Building, was called to order at 7:07 p.m. by the Chairman Mrs. Uhrig, with members Cripps, Klauminzer, Sorensen, Wood, Planning Director Bowyer and Assis- tant Planner Rawski present. ******************* ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ************* SUBDIVISION OF LAND 105. 194 Lowell Street, John P. Castelli, extension of time: On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mr. Cripps, it was voted unanimously to approve the request of John Castelli that the time for action on the preliminary subdivision be extended until May 30, 1986 as requested in the letter from Mr. Castelli dated April 10, 1986. 106. Mason's Hollow, Mark Moore; density issues: The Board reviewed a draft of a letter to Mark Moore responding to his request that the Board make a determina- tion on the proof plans he had submitted. Some editing changes were agreed to. On the motion of Mr. Cripps, seconded by Mrs. Klauminzer, it was voted unanimous- ly to send to Mark Moore a letter as set forth in the draft, as corrected. The letter stated: 1) the proof plan dated March 31, 1986 appears to qualify seven ' lots, 2) other provisions affect density and the Planning Board may require that the density be less than that shown on the definitive site plan, 3) the Board has deep concerns about the March 10, 1986 plan and suggests that he consider a plan with fewer buildings, 4) it appears unlikely the Board will approve more than 4 buildings including the existing Mason house and 5) time is running short to arrange and hold a public hearing and it may be necessary for him to request an extension of time. ************************** ZONING ADMINISTRATION ***************************** 107. 10 Muzzey Street: Mr. Bowyer reported that after the Selectmen's meeting on April 9, 1986, on April 10 the Building Commissioner issued a stop work order and will now interpret the Zoning By -Law so that an addition to an existing building can not be constructed without providing off-street parking.

It was agreed that while there no longer appeared to be a zoning violation, that the Board should send a letter to the Board of Selectmen reporting on the action the Planning Board took at its meeting on April 9, 1986. Mr. Sorensen said this action would reinforce the position taken by the Selectmen and the Town adminis- tration. **************************** ARTICLES FOR THE 1986 TOWN MEETING *************** 108. Article 48, RD, Waltham Street, Choate-Symmes: The Board reviewed the draft of a report dated 4/11/86. Numerous changes dealing with phrasing and organization were agreed to. It was agreed to strengthen the section dealing with the parking for the office use by stating that the parking spaces created could not be counted toward the expansion of the Haynes office buildings. It was agreed to delete a paragraph commenting that the RD zoning district is unique, there may not be legal precedence and that the procedure for allowing uses, not
