PLANNING BOARD MINUTES
<br />MEETING OF MAY 11, 1987
<br />The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board held in Room G-15, Town Office Build-
<br />ing, was called to order at 7:05 p.m. by the Chairman, Mrs. Uhrig, with members
<br />Sorensen, Wood, Williams, Planning Director Bowyer and Assistant Planner Rawski
<br />present. Mrs. Klauminzer arrived before item 143.
<br />****************** ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS *************
<br />PLANS NOT REQUIRING APPROVAL UNDER THE SUBDIVISION CONTROL LAW
<br />Ms. Rawski reported that four plans had been filed by Kem Realty and Arlex Oil in
<br />an apparent attempt to freeze the use as allowed by 1986 zoning in the face of
<br />amendments proposed by Article 43, and that no lot lines have changed. Mr.
<br />Bowyer reported that he had discussed with Town Counsel whether a plan which is a
<br />confirmation of existing lot lines and does not "subdivide" anything by changing
<br />lot lines qualifies for the three year freeze on use changes set up by Section 6
<br />of Chapter 40A. That is a complicated question that requires more research.
<br />Town Counsel suggested that since Section 81P of the Subdivision Control Law says
<br />that endorsement shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Board should endorse the
<br />plans and that the issue of the use exemption be addressed if, and when, a use
<br />exemption is claimed.

<br />of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Wood, it was voted unanimously:
