<br />PLANNING BOARD MINUTES <br />MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2011 <br /> <br />A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room, was <br />called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Greg Zurlo with members Charles Hornig, Wendy <br />Manz, Richard Canale, and Michelle Ciccolo and planning staff Maryann McCall-Taylor, Aaron <br />Henry, and Lori Kaufman present. <br /> <br />************************DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION********************* <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br />SUBDIVISION PUBLIC HEARING <br />1377 Massachusetts Avenue, Definitive Site Sensitive Development Plan: <br />Mr. Zurlo called the public hearing to order at 7:32 p.m. There were approximately 10 people in <br />the audience. In attendance were Mr. Rick Waitt, Mr. Brian Timm and Mr. Gary Larson of <br />Meridian Associates, Mr. Todd Cataldo, applicant, and Ms. Carole Stavenhagen, property owner. <br /> <br />Mr. Waitt said the plan shows four lots with few changes on lots A & B and building envelopes <br />shown on lots C & D. There would be an 18-foot driveway designed to address the site conditions <br />by minimizing cut and fill, saving many major mature trees and preserving the views from <br />Massachusetts Avenue and abutting sides. Lot A would have no new services added. Lot B would <br />have new water, sewer and gas services from the common drive. Lots C & D would have new <br />services brought in from Massachusetts Avenue. No light poles are proposed due to the historic <br />nature of the neighborhood. The drainage infiltration system would have two catch basins that <br />would catch all of the driveway runoff. The roof runoff from lots C & D discharges into a kettle <br />hole, which will handle all of the roof runoff. The total runoff from the site would be the same, or <br />less, than before. <br /> <br />The distance to entrances to the bike path from Massachusetts Avenue is 1525 feet heading east <br />off the site to the Four Seasons Nursery or 2300 feet to the west going to Woburn Street. There is <br />no viable access possible from the back of the parcel due to steep slopes and wetland constraints. <br />The rope rail is the only access to the bike path from the cemetery. <br /> <br />Mr. Breitenfeld, an abutter, had approached Mr. Cataldo the previous Thursday and requested <br />curb cut access from the common drive to his house and that the proposed common drive that <br /> <br />
