PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF APRIL 4, 2012 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in Room G-15, Town Office Building was called to order at 6:00 p.m. by Chairman Richard Canale with members Greg Zurlo, Michelle Ciccolo and Charles Hornig and planning staff Maryann McCall-Taylor, Aaron Henry and Lori Kaufman present. Wendy Manz was absent. ************************DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION********************* 186 -192 Woburn Street, continued public hearing: Mr. Canale called the public hearing to order at 6:00 p.m. with six people in the audience. Present at the meeting was Steven and Jackie Hamilton, the applicants, and Fred Russell, the engineer. Mr. Hamilton said the changes to the plan included a 20 foot wide water easement, proposed monuments, widening the right of way (ROW) to forty feet, which contains the utilities, a utility plan, the T-turn for the fire trucks with a template to show the trucks can make a three point turn, the walking path within the ROW, extension of the pathway up to Dunham Street, location of the foundation to be removed on lot three, and update of the elevations at 11 Dunham Street showing the location of the path, which is three feet below the level of the abutting yard. Board Comments:  The path should be continued to the corner of the intersection of the two streets within the ROW of the paper street with no obstruction within two feet of the driveway pavement.  Is the water line directly under the retaining wall? Mr. Hamilton said it was just slightly north of the wall. The water line should be able to be dug up without having to dig up the retaining wall; include a condition that the owner of lot three would be required to replace the retaining wall without Town expense even if the Town demolishes it in an emergency.  Show all overhead utilities being removed in plan, gas and sewer service to be shown in the as-built plans.  Show impervious surface and site coverage maximums; the allocation for each lot should be reflected on the deed as each lot is sold.  There is concern about the total impervious surface being proposed and if there is enough flexibility left for the future.
