PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF JULY 14, 2010 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room, Town Office Building was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Vice Chairman Richard Canale with members Charles Hornig, Anthony Galaitsis, Wendy Manz and planning staff Maryann McCall-Taylor, Aaron Henry, and Lori Kaufman present. Gregory Zurlo was absent. **************************SUBDIVISION ADMINISTRATION**************************** CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING Stedman Road, continued public hearing, definitive plan: Mr. Canale called the continued public hearing to order at 7:32 p.m. In attendance were Attorney Frederick Paulsen, David Romero and Eric Nitche of Commonwealth Engineering, and Al Casella, applicant, with approximately seven people in the audience. Mr. Romero said there were minor changes to the plan since June, which included an additional water chamber, snow storage, signs closer to the entrance and improvements to be made to the cart path. The applicant also met with the Conservation Commission and added a leaching catch basin to handle a one- year storm and stabilized the steep slope. Board comments:  The catch basins bottoms do not meet Planning Board regulations, but would be acceptable if they were approved by the Conservation Commission.  Want to see more detailed standards for the footpath regarding the width, slope, surface, and control for runoff.  Regarding waiver 16 for the post development runoff, would it be worse? Mr. Romero said there would be difficulty with infiltration due to ledge, but would infiltrate for the one-year storm.  The regulations state infiltration should be for a 25 year storm, but this will be for a one-year storm. Audience Comments:  A resident wanted signage to include “Not a Through Way”. Mr. Romero said they did not want to over sign.  There were concerns about the boulders the fire department placed there as a barrier.
