<br /> <br />PLANNING BOARD MINUTES <br />MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2021 <br /> <br />Minutes of the Lexington Planning Board <br />Held on April 14th, 2021, Virtual Meeting per Governor Baker’s Order at 6:34 pm <br />Present: Charles Hornig, Chair; Robert Peters, Vice-Chair; Michael Schanbacher, Clerk; Melanie <br />Thompson; and Robert Creech. Also present were Amanda Loomis, Planning Director and <br />Sheila Page, Assistant Planning Director and Molly Belanger, Planner. <br />Mr. Hornig stated that this remote participation meeting was being held in accordance <br />with Governor Baker’s March 12, 2020 Executive Order suspending certain provisions of <br />the Open Meeting Law to allow remote participation during the State of Emergency due <br />to the outbreak of COVID-19. Mr. Hornig provided instructions to members of the <br />public, who were watching or listening to the meeting via the Zoom application, <br />regarding the process for making a public comment. <br /> <br />******************** DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION************************* <br />30 Colony Road Adequacy Determination Waiver Request: <br />Ms. Belanger explained that she and Engineering went to inspect the road, only a small <br />improvement for curbing was needed, and that if the applicant agreed to fix the curbing <br />then both Engineering and Planning supported this waiver. <br />Mr. Hornig asked for clarification as the application stated the applicant did not believe <br />curbing was necessary and intended to leave the curbing as is. He asked if staff was good <br />with that. Ms. Belanger said she spoke with the applicant and he was good with repairing <br />the pavement and would submit another statement that he would repair the curbing. <br />Mr. Peters would be comfortable approving the waiver if the applicant repaired the <br />pavement. <br />Ms. Thompson, Mr. Schanbacher, and Mr. Creech agreed with Mr. Peters. <br /> <br />Robert Peters moved that the Planning Board waive the street adequacy determination on the <br />condition that the buyer of the property reinstall the curbing of the driveways between the <br />properties of 30 and 32 Colony Road with measures to improve the longevity of this section of <br />curbing. Melanie Thompson seconded the motion. The Planning Board voted in favor of the <br />motion 5-0-0 (Roll call: Robert Peters – yes; Michael Schanbacher – yes; Charles Hornig – <br />yes; Robert Creech – yes, Melanie Thompson - yes). MOTION PASSED <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
