***************** ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ************
SUBDIVISION OF LAND
124 Wright Street Extension. Kwi-vung Jung. Decision on Definitive Plan
The Board reviewed and corrected a draft Certificate of Action, dated August
17, 1992. On the motion of Mrs. Davison, seconded by Mr. Domnitz, it was
voted unanimously to approve the definitive subdivision plan, and the Certifi-
cate of Action, as amended.
125. Lowell Street Site The Board discussed when to involve other boards,
committees and town departments in the review of Woodhaven Realty's proposed
multi-family housing development on Lowell Street. Mr. Bowyer said that the
Planning Board should be the coordinating agent for any Town committees that
have an interest in such proposals The Planning Board, for itself and in
relationship with other committees, needs to formulate what the parameters of
acceptability are if the Board is to decide to support this development. An
applicant for an RD or CD rezoning needs to know before he/she invests more
time and resources in the plans if a) he/she has the wrong idea and the
Board will not support it, b) his/her plan will be supported as proposed, or
c) there is the possibility that the Board will support the project if a
number of conditions are met.
The Board agreed to invite Woodhaven Realty to present its current plan at the
Planning Board meeting on September 16, 1992. The Design Advisory Committee,
Lexington Housing Assistance Board, Lexington Housing Authority, Board of
Selectmen, Conservation Commission and Town Engineer will be notified of the
presentation. The Planning Board will inform Woodhaven Realty of the various
committees' issues and concerns as soon as possible thereafter.
