PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF JANUARY 26, 1987 The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board held in Room G-15, Town Office Building, was called to order at 7:37 p.m. by the Chairman, Mrs. Uhrig, with members Cripps, Klauminzer, Sorensen, Wood, Planning Director Bowyer, Assistant Planner Rawski and Secretary Peters present. 25. Form A/86-16, Lowell Street, Timothy Harrington: The Board discussed a letter from Attorney Charles G. Kadison, Jr., (no date) which referred to a plan entitled "Birchknoll Terrace Plan of Land in Lexington, Massachusetts" which had been changed after the Board endorsed the plan on August 4, 1986 and before it was recorded at the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds as Plan No. 1503 of 1986. Mr. Kadison was present and apologized to the Board for the "obvious viola- tion of its rules and well established procedures", and added the engineer had been "made aware of the severe consequences of such a breach". He noted that nothing that would affect the correctness of the endorsement was chang- ed after the Board had endorsed the plan, and if the plan were submitted as recorded it would be entitled to the same endorsement. He asked that the Board ratify the changes made after its endorsement. On the motion of Mrs. Uhrig, seconded by Mrs. Wood, it was voted 3-2-0, with ' Mr. Cripps and Mr. Sorensen voting in the negative, to rescind the endorse- ment of the plan and to record this action with the Registry. Mrs. Uhrig noted the Board took this action, requiring the applicant to resubmit the plan if he wishes the plan to be endorsed by the Board, to serve notice that in the future the Board would not sanction any changes in ANR plans after the plans had been endorsed by the Board. SUBDIVISION OF LAND 26. 191 Spring Street, Boston Properties. Preliminary Plan: Mr. Bowyer showed a subdivision plan of both the property in the CR zone and in the RO zone, apparently with the objectives of obtaining an eight year freeze from proposed changes in the 'Zoning By -Law. Mrs. Uhrig asked the staff to schedule a preliminary presentation by the developer for a more detailed explanation of the proposed subdivision. 27. Lillian Road, Busa Farms, Preliminary Plan: The Board conducted an informal hearing to hear a presentation by the developer on this preliminary plan. Frank DiPietro of BSC - Bedford described the plan. He noted it was a two lot subdivision that could be further divided into five lots, four buildable lots and one unbuildable to contain a detention area in the future. One purpose for filing this preliminary plan is to provide a freeze against any zoning changes affecting the property. He added the plan conformed to the Developmment Regulations, except they would be asking for waivers for the installation of the fire alarm system and requirements for a traffic study. Mr. Sorensen noted the 50 foot right-of-way should extend to the property line, so that any development on adjoining land could be connected by a through road.
