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 apphcant 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 DATE AND APPROXIMATE TIME ON AGENDA. 1/10/2018 7 10 PM ATTACHMENTS Description Type D Ish Laic Ctt it NF Backup N4nte•rial NT .11i,.

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.
