*********** ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ***********
13 RECOMMENDATIONS ON APPLICATIONS TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Mr Williams gave an oral review of the following applications
COMPREHENSIVE PERMIT Land off Waltham Street, west side, Trammel Crow Co ,
Lexington Ridge, requesting modification of the comprehensive permit granted
in 1990 Mr Williams noted that there are few significant changes from the
plan approved in 1990. Changes in drainage and impervious surface will be
reviewed by the Conservation Commission. Mrs Davison commented on the
increase in the number of parking spaces.
On the motion of Mr Williams, seconded by Mr Grant, it was voted unanimously
to recommend approval of the changes to the site plan with the exception of
the increase in the number of parking spaces The Planning Board will
recommend that an area be reserved to permit future parking spaces if needed
but that the additional parking spaces not be built at this time and the
reserved area be landscaped. If there is a demand for the parking spaces, the
reserved area can be constructed for parking
430 Concord Avenue. Sellars nrouertv, Woodhaven Realty, special permit for 5-
lot subdivision to replace a nonconforming use in the RO district The Board
agreed to recommend that the application be disapproved because
1 the Planning Board agrees with the January 29, 1993 explana-
tion/interpretation of the Building Commissioner that Section
6 3.3 does not apply because the former commercial use of the
property was non-complying, i.e. illegal, not nonconforming; and
2. approval by the Board of Appeals of the proposed subdivision would
cause a conflict with the State Subdivision Control Law, Chapter
41, §81K-GG, which provides that no land may be subdivided without
the approval of a subdivision plan, and with numerous requirements
of the Planning Board's Subdivision Rules and Regulations.
The meeting was adjourned at 9 00 p.m.
