Minutes for the Meeting of March 24, 2021 Page 3 Mr. Hornig said he would work with staff to figure out what would need to be done for the two matters that the Planning Board could do. Mr. Hornig said the LOW was a substantive issue and would accept the audience comments. Audiences Comments and Questions:  There was concern expressed that the issue with modification to the LOW would have a dramatic effect on the topography and that building on that hill would impact the residents of Drummer Boy Way.  There was a lot of history with the composition of the neighborhood and how the clearing of the lot would impact Rangeway. There were a lot of changes the Planning Board would need to consider and have more clarity on this proposed radical change. Mr. Hornig said the LOW was a concern due to drainage and needed assurance that the clearing and regrading or any potential change for this matter would need to be addressed. The Board would need you to come back with an updated new set of plans and updated drainage calculations from the 2017 plans. **************************TOWN MEETING****************************** Discussion and Review Warrant Determine Positions on Town Meeting Articles: Would there be any issues to an amendment to decrease the number of loading docks required in Article 44?

The second amendment is for Article 45. Ms. Arens intends to propose an amendment with language from the Sustainable Lexington Committee. The Board will discuss it at the next meeting if the Board Members have no objections at this time. Mr. Peters asked if this would be discussed at the night of Town Meeting next week. ***********************BOARD ADMINISTRATION************************ Staff Updates: There were no updates.
