AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
LEXINGTON PLANNING BOARD
AGENDA ITEM TITLE:
45, 55,65 Hayden Avenue - Site Plan Review (Public Hearing)
PRESENTER: ITEM
NUMBER:
SUMMARY:
This item deals with King Street Properties recently approved rezoning which permitted the development of a
new laboratory -office building, of approximately 219,000 gross square feet, and an associated structured
parking building, of approximately 361,000 gross square feet. Per the Zoning Bylaw, the site must come to the
Board for Site Plan Approval. The scope of the review is limited to ensuring that the proposal approved by
Town Meeting is substantially the same as that before the Board now. Please click Application and Site
Plans to view the relevant materials.
Planning staff met with staff from conservation and engineering to discuss the submitted materials. Engineering
has no concerns at this time about the project being served by existing infrastructure including having adequate
sewer and water for day -to -day operations once constructed. Engineering staff has recommended that the
project undergo a peer review process for the proposed storm water management plan on site.
Conservation staff indicated the applicant will be before the Conservation Commission on 12/11/17 seeking an
amendment (related to a culvert replacement) to a parking expansion project which was previously approved
earlier this year. In the event the Commission denies the amendment the applicant will more than likely
incorporate the work into the Notice of Intent (NOI) for this current project. Planning staff will review any
decisions made by the Conservation Commission and will update the Planning Board at its meeting on the
13th.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
Board open the hearing with discussion but continue the hearing to allow time for additional reviews associated
with the project to proceed.
FOLLOW-UP:
Staff will provide additional information to the Board as it comes in.
