SUGGESTED MOTION: There is no Board action required for this item. FOLLOW-UP: DATE AND APPROXIMATE TIME ON AGENDA: 1/10/2018 7:00 PM AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY LEXINGTON PLANNING BOARD AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 185 Lincoln Street ANR PRESENTER: ITEM NUMBER: Aaron Henry 4 SUMMARY: This Approval Not Required Plan, or ANR, was submitted to the Town on December 13. As these plans require action within 21 days an extension was secured from the applicant weeks ago. There is a discrepancy on the plan that - technically - disqualifies it for ANR endorsement. The lot, already built upon, is short of the frontage required for NEW lots in the district. SUGGESTED MOTION: It is recommended that Board authorize the Planning Director to withhold endorsement of the ANR as it does, in fact, show a subdivision as defined by the Subdivision Control Law. FOLLOW-UP: This division of land will likely be incorporated into the subdivision plan of the adjacent parcel for which this prepared, 15 -17 Fairland Street, which is coming before the Board on January 17.

This has been completed, as well as an estimated cost of construction, which the Planning Office has reviewed by the Engineering Office. SUGGESTED MOTION: It is recommended that: 1) the Board determine the way is not presently of adequate grade and construction but will be after the improvements proposed by the applicant are made; and 2) the Board authorize staff to finalize the form and execute with the applicant a performance guarantee sufficient to cover the estimated cost of construction of the proposed improvements. FOLLOW-UP: No follow -up action is anticipated on this development project.

In accordance with the Subdivision Control Law, applicant' are entitled to reduce the surety amount as the work is completed. This project's current balance, held under a Tripartite Agreement, is $863,007.58.

The completed work covers 100% of the site preparation, 50% of the site work, 80% of the sewer work, 75% of the water work, and about 10% of the drainage work. If approved, the revised balance would be $561,716.05. A suggested motion to this effect is below. SUGGESTED MOTION: It is recommended that the Board release $301,291.53 from the Tripartite Agreement for completed work on the associated project.

The present parking lot provides the only viable parking access that can accommodate more than a handful of cars for what is one of the Town's larger Conservation properties. The other two street access points are at the ends of narrow residential streets, thus making the access at the rear of 45 Hayden Avenue the only location from which to stage group activities such as interpretive walks or trail maintenance work events. Lexington has several groups in addition to the Greenways Corridor Committee, including the Lexington Conservation Stewards and Citizens for Lexington Conservation, which regularly sponsor activities on the Hayden Woods property. The present proposed provision for four designated parking spots for Town Conservation purposes will not be sufficient on the occasions when events such as the above are planned for this property. It is the strong recommendation of the Greenways Corridor Committee that provision be made for allowing additional public parking from time to time in addition to the four proposed parking spots. Specifically we are recommending that unrestricted public parking be allowed on weekends, and that additional parking beyond the four designated spots be made available on weekdays with prior notification to Management. Provision for public parking should also be made during the construction phase of this proposed development project. This is of critical importance in the coming year as the Town's Conservation Department has recently been awarded a substantial trail development grant by the state's Recreational Trails Program for the construction of approximately seven hundred feet of boardwalk on the Hayden Woods property. Parking access through the 45 Hayden Avenue parking lot during this construction will be critical to allowing this project to go forward. Approved by unanimous vote at the December 18, 2017 meeting of the Greenways Corridor Committee.

Page 2 of 4 Site Plan Review Decision, 45 — 75 Hayden Avenue January 10, 2018 CHAPTER 120 OF THE CODE OF LEXINGTON, THE TREE BYLAW For sites under the jurisdiction of the Planning Board, the Board may waive the application of the Tree Bylaw, in part or in full, if deemed necessary. In this case, the Board waives the Bylaw in total, as the site plan review process has carefully considered the amount of tree loss, including those protected by the Tree Bylaw, against the proposed landscaping and determines that the project as outlined in the documents submitted to the Board, adequately addresses the purposes of the Tree Bylaw. DECISION The Planning Board reviewed the plans and other submission material noted above. Throughout its deliberations, the Board has been mindful of the statements of the applicants and their representatives, and the comments of the public, all as submitted or made at the public hearing. As detailed above, the Planning Board determines that the proposal meets all of the applicable development standards of the Lexington Zoning Bylaw and the Planning Board's Zoning Regulations. It, therefore, GRANTS the requested site plan review in accordance with the conditions stated below. CONDITIONS 1) The entire tract of land and buildings to be constructed may not be used, sold, transferred, or leased except: a) As governed by this Decision; b) As shown on the site development plan, referenced above; and c) In accordance with later amendments to this decision or the plans. 2) This project is subject to the provisions detailed in § 176 -9.5 through 9.8 of the Board's Zoning Regulations, relating to required improvements, design standards, and the implementation and construction of approved site plans. If the Regulations conflict with this decision, the decision controls. 3) This decision incorporates the Memorandum of Understanding, dated October 2, 2017, between the Town and the applicant. 4) The Project requires the issuance of an Order of Conditions by the Lexington Conservation Commission. In the event the Commission's approval requires changes to the Project design, the Applicant shall notify the Planning Director of such changes in writing along with any requested supporting documentation. Upon receipt of such notice and complete documentation, the Planning Director may, in consultation with the Town's Conservation Administrator, authorize administratively any such changes to the Project determined to be minor. In the event the Planning Director determines such changes may not be in conformance with the PSDUP approved by Town Meeting, such changes shall be referred to the Planning Board for further review and action as appropriate. 5) To ensure public access to the Hayden Woods trail system, the Applicant shall post signage and delineate the four dedicated public parking spaces at the trailhead for the Hayden Woods Conservation Area in accordance with the MOU. In addition, to help ensure nonexclusive parking for the public accessing the trails during business hours will be accommodated, such Page 3 of 4 Site Plan Review Decision, 45 — 75 Hayden Avenue January 10, 2018 signage shall include the contact number for the onsite property manager along with a notation to the effect: "Please contact in advance to request additional group parking for trail access ".
