<br />**************** ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ***********
<br />PLANS NOT REQUIRING APPROVAL UNDER THE SUBDIVISION CONTROL LAW
<br />184. Form A/86-14, Paul Goldstein, Turning Mill Road and Grimes Road: Mr.
<br />Bowyer explained that the plan was filed on July 17 which was more than the
<br />14 days before the Board's next scheduled meeting. The statute allows only
<br />14 days during which the Board must take action on a Form A; the time elap-
<br />sed on July 31, 1986. Mr.Bowyer said that he and Ms. Rawski had checked the
<br />plan carefully to see that it was one that the Board could endorse; it was a
<br />very routine plan. The applicant did not want to wait for the Board to meet
<br />on Monday, August 4, so he submitted the plan to the Town Clerk for endorse-
<br />ment under the provisions of Section 81-P of M.G.L. Chapter 41.
<br />' Mr. Bowyer recommended that the Board have some procedure in its rules to
<br />cover this type of situation so that it is not necessary to convene a meet-
<br />ing to act on a Form A. The majority of the Board agreed that the Planning
<br />Director could be authorized to endorse a plan in behalf of the Board after
<br />consultation with the Chairman. Mr. Sorensen commented that in the future
<br />he would prefer to be contacted that the time for action on a Form A is
<br />going to run out, rather than letting the "approval not required" applica-
<br />tion be endorsed by the Town Clerk, "by default".
<br />185. Form A/86-15, Rowena H. Robinson, Hancock Street: Ms. Rawski reported
<br />that the plan had been before the Board and endorsed in January as Form
<br />A/86-1, but never recorded, since some interior lot lines were revised to
<br />avoid wetlands. She added the frontage and acreage met the requirements of
<br />the zoning district. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mr. Cripps,
<br />it was voted unanimously:
<br />to endorse the plan entitled "Plan of Land in Lexington, Mass. (Middle-
<br />sex County), dated July 15, 1986, by BSC -Bedford, certified by Donald
<br />J. Forand, Professional Land Surveyor, with application form A/86-15,
<br />applicant Rowena H. Robinson, as it does not require approval under the
<br />Subdivision Control Law.
<br />186. Form A/86-16, Timothy Harrington, Lowell Street: Ms. Rawski reported
<br />that the two lots, fronting on Lowell Street, were part of a preliminary
<br />subdivision application, called Birchknoll Terrace, that had previously been
<br />denied by the Board. Most of the subdivision was in Woburn, and, at that
<br />time, there was no access to the subdivision from Woburn. The developer has
<br />since gained, access for the rest of the subdivision from Woburn, and has
<br />split the two lots fronting on Lowell Street in Lexington from the rest of
