0 Cambridge St./Concord Turnpike Tracer Lane Solar Project Public Hearing for Major Site
Plan Review. Tracer Lane II Realty LLC proposing 1.0 MW ground-mounted large-scale solar
energy system with access from Sherbourne Place in Waltham
Mr. Peters opened the public hearing. Present were for the Applicant’s team Harold Nahigian, Ken
Lacourse, Jeff Murphy, John Griffin, Garry Ludorf, and David Lapointe. Mr. Lapointe shared his
presentation and site plans, and gave an overview of the project. Mr. Lacourse spoke to the sound
concerns that were raised by the abutters in submitted emails, in advance of the hearing and said that a
sound study will be performed at the beginning and end of the project. Mr. Lacourse expressed his
willingness to address the concerns of the fire department regarding the fire suppression on the site.
Mr. Ludorf explained the project specifications in detail.
Ms. Page reviewed the staff memo from 12.02.22 which was revised on 12.05.22 with the Board. Ms.
Page explained that the application was a Major Site Plan Review and if the regulations from the State
and the Town are met for the solar use because it is a protected use, the Planning Board is compelled to
approve it. Ms. Page summarized the items that the applicant has to remedy and it included the
stormwater facilities that were not allowed in the water protection zone. Ms. Page included that both
the Lexington and Waltham fire departments request better access to the back of the property, as well
as an assessment of the location of fire hydrants and water pressure, and added noise from the
transformers was also a major concern. Ms. Page also added that details regarding the construction of
the panels and the increase in traffic during construction have to be provided to the abutters. Ms. Page
said as the commercial district abuts a residential district, a 50-foot setback is required by the zoning.
Staff added that there have been requests from abutters asking for a 200-foot setback which would
likely be deemed unreasonable by the state.

Mr. Hornig said that all the issues raised by the staff with regards to storm water setbacks and fire
access have to be dealt with by the applicant before their next hearing. Mr. Hornig needed clarity
regarding the utility design as mentioned by Mr. Lacourse and the one shown in the plan, and as to how
the inverters are connected to the transformers. Mr. Lacourse said that the inverters will be spread out
across the various arrays and that they are connected to the transformers through underground
conduit. Mr. Hornig wanted to know the reason why the transformers were placed at the edge of the
array instead of a centralized location. Mr. Lacourse said it is to facilitate easy maintenance and access.
Mr. Peters asked Mr. Lapointe the reason behind having the access to the solar farm through
Sherbourne Place instead of Tracer Lane. Mr. Lapointe shared his slides and explained that it would be
more environmentally damaging to create the access road through Tracer Lane due to the wetlands area
that is present near Tracer Lane and it would also be very expensive. Mr. Peters also asked Mr. Lapointe
to consider to move the transformers internally to reduce inconvenience to the abutters.
Mr. Creech described his visit to the site and based on his visit suggested the setback be increased to
200 feet, which would also lead to more number of trees being saved. Mr. Creech also asked the
applicant to consider having solar panels on the utility company’s easement.
Considering the general slope direction towards the City of Cambridge water supply, and also the
inability to include stormwater facilities due to the water protection zone, Mr. Leon had concerns
regarding the environmental contamination on the City of Cambridge’s water supply, that could be
caused by the foam used for firefighting. Mr. Leon also had concerns regarding issues raised by the fire
departments from both the towns regarding the response time, systems and the access. Mr. Leon asked
if drainage and stormwater management plan can be modified to comply with the restrictions and
limitations of where they could be located. Ms. Page said that there cannot be any more runoffs onto
neighboring properties than what currently exists.
Mr. Leon wanted more details about the design and the purpose of the swales that were mentioned in
the plan. Mr. Lapointe said the purpose of the swales was to intercept runoff and that was a
requirement from the Conservation department. Mr. Murphy shared the slides and explained that the
purpose of the swales is to intercept the sheet flow on the site and to act as a backstop to slow down
the energy coming from the site. Mr. Leon wanted Mr. Murphy to address the issue of qualitative
controls with respect to firefighting chemicals. Mr. Murphy said catch basins flowing out into open
storm water basin or detention basin are good options and they will work on one of the options to
address the concerns.
Ms. McCabe reminded the board that solar energy is protected use under the state laws and if
Lexington’s Zoning requirements, and the requirements of both Waltham’s and Lexington’s emergency
departments are met, the Planning Board does not have the legal authority to deny approval. Mr. Hornig
told the residents that the requirements regarding the storm water and fire access have to be
addressed. He added that the project cannot be built without the approval of the Lexington Fire Chief
and Lexington Department of Public Works. Ms. Page added that the staff recommends that the
transformer be pushed back and the utility poles be moved to the interior of the applicant’s property.
Ms. McCabe explained the provisions of the state law regarding protected uses.
Mr. Peters invited the public to share their questions and comments on the project.

PUBLIC COMMENT PORTION:
Cambridge City Councilor, Mr. Quinton Zondervan, from 235 Cardinal Medeiros Avenue in Cambridge,
said that though he was a big proponent of solar energy, he opposed the proposal to cut down large
number of trees for the project and also potentially contaminating City of Cambridge’s water supply.
Waltham City Councilor, Mr. George Darcy, from 93 Hobbs Road Waltham, pointed out that the Dover
Amendment does not exclude public health and public safety concerns as well as exclude regulation by
the conservation commission and asked that the transformer be moved to the northside of the site and
have a 200- foot setback. Mr. Darcy also went over the fire emergency response plan and the public
safety issue concerns. Mr. Daniel Quaroni from 27 Wimbledon Circle, Waltham echoed Mr. Darcy’s
views.
Ms. Ricki Pappo, from 16 Blossomcrest Road Lexington, told the board that as a climate activist, she
opposes the cutting down of trees for the proposed project and was against the possible contamination
of Cambridge’s drinking water supply and asked the applicant to do an environmental impact statement.
Mr. Lapointe responded to Ms. Pappo’s query saying that they had done a study on the storm water
management and had submitted it to obtain the storm water management permit and he added that the
overall plan will be revised based on the comments from the staff related to water protection zone.
Mr. Gerry Paul from 43 Highland Avenue Lexington, and chair of Lexington’s Tree Committee wanted to
know if the applicants were looking for any waivers to the Lexington Tree Bylaw. Mr. Lapo inte said they
requested a waiver to not locate and identify every tree that is on the property and they had submitted
an exhibit that showed the locations of the trees that are within the setback area that were being
proposed to be removed. Mr. Paul said that, to be consistent with other applications, the applicant has to
identify the size and type of trees within the limit of work. Mr. Paul asked the applicant to send revised
data on the number of trees to be removed based on the revised setback requirements.
Mr. Tom Stezzi, from 39 Wimbledon Circle Waltham, told that lots of nearby solar fields have setbacks of
more than 500 feet. Ms. Lauren Luallen, from 149 Candlewood Drive Waltham, stressed the need for large
setbacks to help reduce the potential health hazards. Ms. Nancy Sofen, from 3 Abernathy Road Lexington,
also a member of the Tree Committee, echoed the sentiments of Ms. Pappo and Mr. Zondervan. Mr. Bob
Davis, from the neighborhood was concerned about the displaced wildlife. Mr. Davis, also a retired
firefighter who had fought a solar farm fire, explained the challenges in fighting a solar farm fire and
wanted to know the plan for the access roads for the fire trucks.
Ms. Kellie Spillane, from 156 Candlewood Drive Waltham, also raised concerns for the displaced wildlife.
Ms. Heather Hoffman, from 230 Hurley Street East Cambridge, shared the sentiments of Mr. Zondervan
and was concerned about cutting so many trees. Ms. Bernadette Sewell, Assistant City Solicitor for the
City of Waltham, informed the community that she is collecting comments and concerns and to contact
her directly with their comments and concerns.
The Board recessed at 8.16 p.m. and reconvened at 8.20 p.m.
Ms. Maryann Callahan, from 114 Sherbourne Place Waltham, stressed a 200 -foot setback keeping in mind
the public health and safety concerns. Ms. Callahan agreed with the request for an environmental study
and also wanted a property value study to be done. Ms. Callahan also wanted to know if the fire response
will require movement through abetting homes and the likelihood of such a fire spreading to abutting
homes. Ms. Callahan opposed the current plan and transformer location, due to the proximity to the
residential area.

Ms. Bianca Stezzi, from 39 Wimbledon Circle Waltham, stated that the plans go against the guidelines
noted in the state website and The Department of Energy Resources, strongly discourages locations that
result in loss of land and natural resources. Ms. Stezzi also had concerns regarding the delayed response
time in case of a fire and the placement of transformers near residential area which could be a potential
health hazard.
Ms. Rachel Learned, from 9 Wimbledon Circle Waltham, expressed her view saying that the towns can
require the developer to address each danger to be mitigated to lower the safety and health hazards. Ms.
Janice Ellison, from Michael Way Cambridge, expressed concern about chemicals from firefighting foams,
seeping into ground water and eventually mixing with Cambridge’s water supply.
Ms. Cindy Arens, from 7 Kitson Park Dr. Lexington, added that the State’s guidelines also strongly
discouraged significant tree cutting due to the water management and climate benefits that trees provide.
Ms. Lin Jensen, from 133 Reed Street Lexington, confirmed Ms. Arens statement and restated the safety
concerns expressed by residents. M. Tina McBride, from 45 Turning Mill Road Lexington, stated that the
Planning Board must thoroughly explore all the questions and concerns raised by residents.
Ms. Terri Defano, from 44 Wimbledon Circle Waltham, was additionally concerned about the access road
and asked the applicant to move the access road to Trace Lane instead of Sherbourne Place, and the
inconvenience that would cause to a residential neighborhood by way of increased traffic.
Mr. Jay Masterson and Ms. Mary Ellen McDonalds, from 94 Sherbourne Place Waltham, reiterated Mr.
Zondervan’s comments and said it was unacceptable. Ms. Pam Hoffman, from 4 Rangeway Lexington, said
that she is opposed to this project and agreed with the comments made earlier.
Ms. McCabe said that though Solar farm is protected use, the Planning Board can impose reasonable
conditions to protect Public health, safety, and welfare of the residents and the staff will continue to work
with the applicant to have a response for the continued hearing.
Mr. Hornig asked the applicant to incorporate all the comments from the residents and come up with a
revised plan that will address the concerns of the residents, staff and board members.

35 Hayes Lane Minor Modification Request to increase GFA for Special Permit Residential
Development approved on October 19, 2022
Mr. Frederick Gilgun represented the applicant and explained that the applicant requests a minor
modification to the special permit granted by the Planning Board on October 19. Mr. Gilgun specifically
sought modification of the special permit by deleting project specific finding number 8, which states that
the existing dwelling to remain and the two dwellings will each contain less than 4500 square feet GFA
and to replace that finding with the dwellings on the lot to not exceed the following GFA limits. Lot 1-
8000 square feet, lot 2- 8000 square feet and lot 3- 16320 square feet. In addition, the applicant also
wanted to modify the site construction plan by removing the references to the amount of the proposed
Lexington Planning Board Meeting Minutes
December 7, 2022, Page 6 of 9
footprint and the existing dwelling in the table at the bottom of the site construction plan titled GFA
allocation, so that the table only references the allocated GFA for each lot.
Mr. Creech said that he would not have voted had he known that the to be built houses were to be 8000
square feet. Mr. Gilgun said that the original intention of the applicant was not to put a limit on the
square feet and only when the applicant started working on the recording the plans did he realize that
the Board’s finding stated the proposed house size of 4,500 on lots 1 and 2.
Ms. McCabe said that the plan that the Planning Board approved on October 19th showed the proposed
dwellings and the proposed footprints. Ms. McCabe said that the GFA that was listed for each of the 3
lots was at 4500 square feet for lots 1 and 2 and the breakdown allocated according to zoning was up to
8000 square feet for lots one and two, and 16000 square feet for the third lot but the project finding in
the Board’s approval only stated the proposed GFA at 4500 square feet. She recommended the Board
first decided on if the request is minor. If it is not minor, the Applicant would need to file a formal
amendment that would require a new public hearing and abutter notification process.
On a motion made by Mr. Schanbacher, seconded by Ms. Thompson, the Board voted 5-0 on a roll call
vote, to move to determine the Applicant's request is minor and does not substantially alter the
Board's October 19 special permit approval and is intended to provide clarity and prevent conflict
with the approved plans. (Board vote: Hornig – yes, Peters – yes, Schanbacher – yes, Creech- yes,
Thompson – yes).
On a motion made by Mr. Schanbacher, seconded by Ms. Thompson, the Board voted 5-0 on a roll call
vote, to move that the Special Permit Residential Development Decision for 35 Hayes Lane be revised
to amend Project-Specific Finding number eight (8) on page three (3) be deleted in its entirety and be
replaced with the text posted on Novus, and in addition, to delete the note at the bottom of the Site
Plan on sheet 5 entitled “GROSS FLOOR AREA ALLOCATION (GFA)” and replace it with the text posted
on Novus. (Board vote: Hornig – yes, Peters – yes, Schanbacher – yes, Creech- yes, Thompson – yes).
