PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF JULY 27, 2011 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in the Selectmen’s Meeting Room, was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Richard Canale with members Charles Hornig, Wendy Manz, Michelle Ciccolo and planning staff Aaron Henry and Lori Kaufman present. Mr. Zurlo joined the meeting in progress. ************************DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION********************* Vine Brook Estates Ryder Lane, Release of Covenant: The Board re-visited the covenant release for the Vine Brook Estates development due to an omission of certain title information required by the Land Court Registration Office. The applicant revised the Release to include the requisite information and resubmitted it to the Board. Mr. Zurlo joined the meeting in progress. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 4-0-1, (Mr. Zurlo abstained) to release the covenant securing the Vine Brook Estates subdivision. Philbrook Terrace, Release of Covenant: The Board was requested by a property owner in an old development project to release a lot so as to be able to complete a real estate transaction. In staff’s investigation of the matter, it was learned that several other lots within the development were also never released, despite the acceptance of the road as a public way in 1990. Therefore it was recommended that the Board release not just the single lot in question, but the entire covenant securing the subdivision. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 4-0-1, (Mr. Zurlo abstained) to release the covenant securing the Philbrook Terrace subdivision. 137-139 Shade Street, Sketch Site Sensitive Development Plan: The project was introduced and described by the project’s engineer, Frederick Russell, on behalf of the owner, Frederick Keefe, who was also in attendance. As almost a year has passed since the Board’s review of the first sketch plan for the site and subsequent site visit, much of the presentation was spent reintroducing the project to the Board and public in attendance.
