PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF FEBRUARY 29, 2012 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in the Clarke Middle School Auditorium, was called to order at 7:39 p.m. by Chairman Richard Canale with members Wendy Manz, Michelle Ciccolo, Greg Zurlo, and Charles Hornig and planning staff Maryann McCall- Taylor, Aaron Henry and Lori Kaufman present. ********************************TOWN MEETING******************************* PUBLIC HEARING Article 34, 2013 & 2017 Massachusetts Ave/Dana Home: Mr. Canale called the public hearings to order at 7:40 p.m. The applicant, Trish Perez Kennealy, said that she was limiting her comments so that she could listen to suggestions and concerns. Board Comments:  How are staff comments and the opposition’s traffic analysis being addressed? Ms. Kennealy said that her traffic advisor is working on responses.  Would a truck restriction be acceptable? Ms. Kennealy was willing to discuss that option.  Will the parking be moved back? Ms. Kennealy said the development team is working through all the details as quickly as possible.  The public hearing should be continued to March 26 after the applicant meets with the Conservation Commission and then schedule a full continued public hearing before April 15.  Is off-site parking off the table? Ms. Kennealy said an agreement was reached with St. Brigids, but objections were raised because St. Brigids would also have to be rezoned from its residential district to allow the parking related to a commercial use on its site.  Circulation on the site needs to be addressed to allow access from one parking lot to another without having to exit and reenter from the main road. That will need to be addressed with the Conservation Commission since the parking lot would have to move closer to the wetlands. Audience Comments:
