PLANNING BOARD MINUTES
MEETING OF MARCH 26, 2014
A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in Parker Room, was called to order at
6:02 p.m. by Chairman Charles Hornig, with members Richard Canale, Greg Zurlo, Nancy
Corcoran-Ronchetti and Timothy Dunn and planning staff Maryann McCall-Taylor and Aaron
Henry present.
********************************TOWN MEETING*******************************
Articles 27-29 For-profit educational use -
There were some questions regarding commercial
use in the RT district. The Board stayed with their previous recommendation to Town meeting.
Article 30 – Medical Marijuana Treatment Center (MMTC) –
The Board was in receipt of
two possible amendments to their motion, one by Mr. Fenn and one by Mr. Smith. Mr. Fenn
advocated for allowing MMTCs only in the CM district, not in the CB and CRS as would be
allowed by the Planning Board’s motion. Mr. Smith proposed eliminating the use in the CB but
retaining it in the CRS as a compromise position. Those in the audience expressed concerns
about being overly restrictive. After discussion the chair called for a motion but none was made
so the Planning Board’s existing position stood and they would have no recommendation on Mr.
Smith’s amendment for Town Meeting.
Planning Board Report under Article 2
There were no comments on the report drafted by the
chair.
