PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF APRIL 27, 2011 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 Chairman Greg Zurlo with members Richard Canale, Charles Hornig, Michelle Ciccolo, and Wendy Manz and planning staff Maryann McCall-Taylor and Lori Kaufman present. DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION ************************************************** 341 Marrett Road, change in surety: The applicant has requested a release from the tri-partite agreement in lieu of a cash deposit in the same amount for $30,600. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 5-0, to accept financial surety of $30,600 cash in lieu of the release from the tri-partite agreement. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 5-0, to release the Town’s interest in the tri-partite agreement. ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS ******************************************************** 15 & 18 Rockville Avenue, variances: The Planning Board discussed the variances being sought for 15 & 18 Rockville Avenue and is concerned about allowing the re-division of a lot made up of old lots that are no longer grandfathered as this is not a unique or uncommon situation in Lexington. The Planning Board is asking the Zoning Board of Appeals to be mindful of these concerns when considering the variances to allow the re-division of lots no longer grandfathered. The concerns will enter into the Planning Board’s decision-making process if the project comes before it. The Board also feels that citing their Stedman Road decision should not serve as a justification for allowing the waiving of the length of this dead-end street. The Board explicitly states in its deliberation that each situation is unique and is not to be used as a precedent for another situation. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 5-0, to convey the Planning Board’s concerns discussed on this matter to the Zoning Board of Appeals.
