PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF FEBRUARY 15, 2012 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 Wendy Manz, Michelle Ciccolo, Greg Zurlo, and Charles Hornig and planning staff Maryann McCall-Taylor and Aaron Henry present. There were three public hearings scheduled for the night and since they should all be considered together, it was decided to open them at 7:40 p.m., the latest time advertised. The Board took a moment to honor and acknowledge the contributions to the Town of Donald Graham, a former Lexington Planning Board Member and chairman who recently passed away. ********************************TOWN MEETING******************************* The Planning Board Town Meeting schedule will include Article 34 (a CD rezoning of the Dana Home property) and Article 38 (acceptance of land from a subdivision that was approved by the Planning Board). ************************DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION********************* APPROVAL NOT REQUIRED 2 Opi Circle: Staff provided a memo regarding this ANR. Mr. Hornig expressed a concern that the Board’s discretion was constrained since only frontage can be considered. Lots C, D, & E have inadequate frontage by Lexington standards and when any lot is in multiple towns Lexington treats it as if the entire lot is in Lexington. Language showing these lots have inadequate frontage should be added by the Board’s endorsement, making it clear to the applicant that if an application for a building permit is made for the Lexington portion of the lot, it may be considered a non-buildable lot. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 3-2 (Mr. Zurlo and Ms. Manz opposed), to endorse the plan entitled “Plan of Land in Lexington, MA” dated January 26, 2012, prepared and certified by Joseph R. Porter, Professional Land Surveyor, Newton, MA. with Form A (2012- 2) submitted by Bruno Gallinelli, the applicant, as it does not require approval under subdivision
