There were eight people in the audience. Mr. John Farrington presented the following information on the proposed development:  This proposed site sensitive development (SSD) would consist of 12 buildable lots and one unbuildable lot;  The site was 482,927 square feet and when it was used by Lexington Gardens over 400,000 square feet was used for greenhouse, retail buildings and operations with impervious surface of 221,765 square feet or 46%.  The Victory Gardens on Lot A would be kept by the developer until the development was complete and then would turn over the maintenance and operation to the homeowners association.  The benefit of an SSD as opposed to a conventional plan was allowing better placement of the homes on each lot, side entrance garages, improved streetscape for the development and better treatment of the Victory Gardens;  The impervious surface ratios from the SSD would be an improvement over a conventional plan;  All driveways would use only pervious materials and several requirements would be imposed to insure the materials remained pervious;  The new road would be submitted to Town for acceptance as a pubic way when completed. It would meet all town standards.  A path would be constructed on the site to, but not on, the school property and paved with the same pervious material;  The developer would ask for one lot release at a time since it would take some time to build the entire development; and  Proposed street names were Arboretum Way, Fernwood Drive, Mulberry Lane and Conservatory Lane.
