THE 115 KENDALL CORPORATION AND TEKTRONIX, INC. for a site plan review and
approval for a special permit pursuant to Section 13 and related subsections
of the zoning by-law, and to make a finding and determination that the pro-
posed placement of buildings, major topographic changes, provisions for
waste disposal, surface and ground water drainage, erosion control, parking
areas, loading areas, maneuvering areas, driveways, the location of inter-
sections of driveways and streets will constitute a suitable development and
will not result in substantial detriment to the neighborhood. The proposed
use of the building is office and research and development. The location of
the property is at the corner of HARTWELL AVENUE and BEDFORD STREET, contain-
ing approximately five acres of land. The hearing will be held TUESDAY, MAY
7, 1974 in the Town Office Building at 8:00 P.M.
This notice was published in the Lexington Minute -Man and people notified
as required by law.
Present and acting on this petition were:
George C. Sheldon, Acting Chairman
George P. Wadsworth
Robert M. Gary
Haskell W. Reed
Robert Cataldo
Frederick J. Conroy, Attorney, represented the petitioners, who had pro-
vided the following plans:
I. Site Plans for Lot 1, by Miller and Nylander, dated 3/25/74 as
follows:
1. PL -1, showing proposed contours.
2. PL -2, showing existing & proposed contours.
II. Plans entitled "Proposed Office Building Bedford St. & Hartwell
Ave." by Fred Lenox AIA & Associates:
1. Elevations, dated March 18, 1974.
2. First Floor Plan dated March 12 and 18, 1974.
3. Second Floor Plan, dated March 12 and 18, 1974.
Two copies of these plans were presented to the Planning Board on March
29, 1974 for their recommendations as required under Section 13 of the
Lexington zoning by-law.
Mr. Conroy explained that the proposed building would be situated on
approximately 5 acres, located on the corner of Hartwell Avenue and Bedford
Street. The parcel is part of a 13 acre parcel owned by Mr. Michael Colan-
gelo of The 115 Kendall Corporation. The 5 acres is under agreement for
sale to Tektronix Corp. for construction of the building.
May 7, 1974 (continued) page 2
Mr. Conroy reviewed former permits granted by the Board, including the
' division of the 13 acres into 4 lots, one of which would have been on the cor-
ner of Hartwell Avenue and Bedford St. and would have had 4.27 acres. Since
then Tektronix has requested the larger 5+ acres. This parcel is zoned CH,
hotel, office and research park.
He referred to a letter dated April 4, 1974 from the Town Engineer,
which listed several comments for consideration. He stated that The 115
Kendall Corporation had responed to all of them and corrections had been
made on plans submitted with their letter dated April 30, 1974. The plans
received were the same as those submitted earlier except that the engineering
data requested had been added to the plans.
Also present at this hearing were; Mr. Fred Lenox, Architect, who pre-
pared the plans; a representative of the Tektronix, Inc., Richard Keshian,
Mass. Ave., Arlington (Chairman of the Board of Appeals, Arlington); and Mr.
Nylander, who prepared the engineering and survey data required. Tektronix,
Inc. would occupy the building when it is completed.
A letter was received from the Planning Board;
Dear Mr. Nickerson:
The Planning Board has reviewed the plans of the 115 Kendall Corporation
development, and subject to the following recommendations, believes that
this development will not result in detriment to the neighborhood, in accord-
ance with Section 13 of the Town of Lexington By -Laws.
1. That the circular driveway be eliminated at the front of the building.
The entrance to this driveway is too close to the intersection and would
interfere with turning movements from Hartwell Avenue onto Bedford Street.
This intersection is now operating at or near capacity during peak traffic
hours. Any additional traffic movements at this location would tend to
create a serious traffic problem. The Traffic Safety Committee has gone on
record as opposing any curb cuts at this location. This area experienced
the highest traffic accident rate in the Town of Lexington for the year 1973.
2. We recommend that the parking area be laid out with 10' x 20' parking
stalls and 23' aisles.
3. All utilities must conform to Town of Lexington Standards and specifica-
tions.
Sincerely,
LEXINGTON PLANNING BOARD
/s/ Eric T. Clarke, Chairman
Letters from the Engineering Department listed several comments and
concerns about the plans for this project. (See letter dated April 4, 1974
and letter dated 4/18/74 attached to Selectmen's letter of May 7.)
Mr. Conroy stated that they had complied with all the engineering and
Planning Board requirements in respect to this lot. He said that Hinchey Rd.
would not be touched. He stated that he had a certificate of conditions from
the Conservation Commission taking care of drainage.
John Brucchi, Arthur Carota and Henry Siekman expressed their concerns.

A letter dated May 7 was received from the Selectmen requesting that the
Board of Appeals delay granting approval of a permit because there were too
many unanswered questions regarding the development of the property.

On May 28, 1974 the Board gave further consideration to the subject of
the petition, the evidence presented by the petitioner and others in open
public meeting. Mr. Conroy represented the petitioner. Mr. Lenox, Mr.
Colangelo, Mr. Keshian, Mr. Nylander and Mr. Ray Cone, chief architect for
Tektronix, were all present. The same Board members were present: G.C.Sheldon,
G.P.Wadsworth, R.M.Gary, H.W.Reed and Robert Cataldo.
Another letter was received from the Town Engineer (dated May 24, 1974)
with five comments for the Board's consideration. Mr. Conroy stated that all
requirements would be complied with including the assumption of any extra
cost to the town in making sewer and water connections.
The Board of Selectmen wrote a letter to the Board of Appeals dated May
' 28, 1974 stating that the questions were still unresolved and they feel that
the Town would be better served if the petition were withdrawn in order to
allow sufficient time for the development of an overall plan for the complete
area and the settlement of the Hinchey Road question.
As a result of all the above the Board voted in favor of the following
findings:
Since the Hinchey Road problem has not been legally resolved and would
be a significant factor in the development of the total area, in the Board's
opinion, it would be unwise to approve the first lot in the development with-
out proper planning for the additional lots. Therefore, in the opinion of the
Board, the plan presented was not a sound plan. The site plan review and find-
ing and determination showed that it might tend to impair the status of the
neighborhood. A satisfactory plan should be submitted for the entire area owned
by the applicant in order to be certain that Hinchey Rd. and problems of access
and water and sewer service connections are satisfactorily solved.
The Board voted unanimously to give the petitioner an opportunity to with-
draw the petition. If the petitioner fails to withdraw the petition it is
denied. (Only Mr. Sheldon expressed a willingness to grant the petition.) The
Board attached the latest letters from the Board of Selectmen and the Town En-
gineer to the record in the file folder.
On May 30, 1974 the petition was withdrawn by The 115 Kendall Corporation
and Tektronix, Inc., by their attorney, Frederick J. Conroy, by letter.

BOARD OF APPEALS HEARING
THE 115 KENDALL CORPORATION AND TEKTRONIX, INC.
Corner of Hartwell Avenue and Bedford Street
a copy of which is hereto annexed, held a public hearing thereon of which
notice was mailed to the petitioner and to the owners of all property
deemed by the Board to be affected thereby including the abutters and
owners of land next adjoining the land of the abutters as they appear on
the most recent tax lists and also advertised in the Lexington Minute -man,
a newspaper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Select
men's Meeting Room in the Town Office Building on May 7, 1974 and contin-
ued to May 28, 1974.
Two regular and three associate members of the Board of Appeals were
present at the hearing. A certificate of notice of the hearing and sub-
sequent hearings are hereto annexed.
At the May 7, 1974 hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the
petitioner tending to show:
that the 115 Kendall Corporation and Tektronix, Inc. requested a site plan
review and approval for a special permit pursuant to Section 13 and related ;
subsections of the zoning by-law, and to make a finding and determination
that the proposed placement of buildings, major topographic changes, provi-
sions for waste disposal, surface and ground water drainage, erosion control,
parking areas, loading areas, maneuvering areas, driveways, the location of
intersections of driveways and streets will constitute a suitable develop-
ment and will not result in substantial detriment to the neighborhood. The
proposed use of the building is office and research and development. The
location of the property is at the corner of Hartwell Avenue and Bedford
Street, containing approximately five acres of land.
Frederick J. Conroy, Attorney, represented the petitioners, who had _.
provided the following plans:
1. Site plans for Lot 1, by Miller and Nylander, dated 3/25/74 as
follows:
1. PL -1, showing proposed contours.
2. PL -2, showing existing & proposed contours.
II. Plans entitled "Proposed Office Building Bedford St. & Hartwell
Ave." by Fred Lenox AIA & Associates:
1. Elevations, dated March 18, 1974.
2. First Floor Plan dated March 12 and 18, 1974.
3. Second Floor Plan, dated March 12 and 18, 1974.
Two copies of these plans were presented to the Planning Board on March
29, 1974 for their recommendations as required under Section 13 of the
Lexington zoning by-law.
Mr. Conroy explained that the proposed building would be situated on
approximately 5 acres, located on the corner of Hartwell Avenue and Bedford
Street. The parcel is part of a 13 acre parcel owned by Mr. Michael Colan-
gelo of The 115 Kendall Corporation. The 5 acres is under agreement for
sale to Tektronix Corp. for construction of the building.
He reviewed former.permits granted by the Board, including the division
of the 13 acres into 4 lots, one of which would have been on the corner of
Hartwell Avenue and Bedford St. and ruld have had 4.27 acres. Since then
Tektronix has requested the larger 5 acres. This parcel is zoned CH, hotel,
office and research park.
Mr. Conroy referred to a letter dated April 4, 1974 from the Town Engineer,`,_
which listed several comments for consideration. He stated that The 115 Kendall
Corp. had responded to all of them and corrections had been made on plans sub-
mitted with their letter dated April 30, 1974. The plans received werethe same
as those submitted earlier except that the engineering data requested had been
added to the plans.
Also present at this hearing were: Mr. Fred Lenox, Architect, who pre-

Dear Mr. Sheldon:
The Board of Selectmen feels that the opinions contained in our letter
of May 16, 1974 are still valid.
The questions are still unresolved and we feel the Town would be better
served if the petition were withdrawn in order to allow sufficient time
for the development of an overall plan for the complete area and the

Re: 115 Kendall Corporation
Hartwell Avenue & Bedford Street
Gentlemen:
I We have reviewed the site plans for the subject project and
• offer the following comments for your review and consideration in
this matter.
1. This revision still shows proposed sewer and water ser-
vices for lot I coming from proposed sewer and water main exten-
sions in Hartwell Avenue. Since this involves expansion of the
Towns' sewer and water utility network in the amount of approxi-
mately $50,000, it would seem logical that the overall develop-
ment picture should be presented in order that the Board of Public'
Works (Selectmen) may make sound and rational decisions as to how
their system can best be expanded. Once this is accomplished, the
logistics of financing and constructing these utilities can be
discussed between the developer and the Board.
2. The plans indicate that the public footpath on Hartwell
Avenue that leads to Hinchey Road, will be altered to the point
where there will be a 33% grade dropping from Hinchey Road to the
driveway then climbing back to existing ground on the other side
of the drive, also at 33% grade. We believe this gradient to be
objectionable.
3. The slope on the 12" R.C. drain leading from the catch
basin on the southwest side of the parking lot is too flat. Ab-
solute minimum slope for 12" pipe should be .005 in order to
maintain self cleaning velocities.
4. The special manhole leading to the retention pond shows
4—I8" pipes in plan view yet the details for both the manhole and
the headwall show 4 - 22" x 13" metal arch pipes. This should be
clarified.
