PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF MAY 22, 2019 A meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room in the Town Office Building was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chair Richard Canale. Members Ginna Johnson, Charles Hornig, Robert Peters, Bob Creech, and planning staff Julie Mercier and Lori Kaufman were present. **********************DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION*********************** 56 Blossomcrest Road, Approval Not Required (ANR): Mr. Farrington explained that MGL c. 41, s. 81L allows the division of a parcel of land which has two pre-zoning \[sic\] structures on it. This lot has two habitable pre-zoning structures and the new structures will meet all zoning setbacks. Mr. Farrington said the applicant needs to go to the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) for variances for the lot frontage and size and a special permit for a common driveway after this meeting with the Planning Board. Individual Board Comments:  The variance is the right way to go, but a condition of the variance should be to limit the Gross Floor Area (GFA) to what would be allowed for the total tract of land.  The Board asked that a memo be submitted by staff to the ZBA regarding the limited GFA and a variance is the right direction rather than having two unbuildable lots. On a motion of Mr. Hornig, seconded by Ms. Johnson, it was voted, 5-0, to endorse the ANR plan showing the property at 56 Blossomcrest Road as it does not require approval under the Subdivision Control Law. Rangeway Extension (Map 87 lot 37), Definitive Subdivision: Chair, Mr. Canale, opened the public hearing at 7:13 p.m. The applicant has requested that the public hearing be continued to the meeting of June 26, 2019. Mr. Peters will be recused from this item. On a motion of Mr. Hornig, seconded by Ms. Johnson, it was voted, 4-0, to continue the public hearing to June 26, 2019, in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room at 7:00 p.m. *************************BOARD ADMINISTRATION**************************** Board Member Updates: Mr. Canale said this is the last meeting with Ms. Mercier. She is returning to her former job and the Board wishes her well and thanks her for her work here.
