PLANNING BOARD MINUTES MEETING OF MAY 23, 2012 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in The Selectmen’s Meeting Room, Town Office Building, was called to order at 7:05 p.m. by Chairman Richard Canale with members Greg Zurlo, Wendy Manz, Charles Hornig and Michelle Ciccolo and planning staff Maryann McCall-Taylor and Aaron Henry present. ************************DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION********************* 186-192 Woburn Street Concord Avenue, Acceptance of Surety Mr. Steve Hamilton, the developer of 186-192 Woburn, offered a covenant for surety for work on the property.
