The planning director will inform the Selectmen of decisions of the Board on each of the requests. At 8 p.m., John Connery, MAPC, met with the Board to discuss methods of assistance by HUD, DNR, DCA, Mass. Audubon and MAPC to Lexington and 14 other Massachusetts communities in drawing up flood -plain and wetland zoning regulations. Mr. Connery gave background information on the National Flood Insurance Program procedures, and cited differences in control between State Wetland Protection Control and local control through zoning. It was agreed that since Lexington has already done extensive work in preparation of photogrammetric maps and other hydrological studies priority will probably be given by HUD in work on definitive wetland maps of the Town. Mr. Connery also offered his assistance to the Planning Board subcommittee on Wetlands. Qeustion arose as to whether Lexington could be reimbursed by HUD for performing its own studies pertinent to preparation of definitive Wetland maps. Mr. Conneiy will investigate this possibility and inform the Planning Board of the outcome in the near future. Dr. Clarke read a letter from Weiant Wathen-Dunn, Lexington Interfaith Corporation, requesting status as a buildable lot for a parcel owned by Interfaith on Garfield St.(which is now classified as a private way), by declaring the section of Garfield St. a legal way. The planning director will review the section of Garfield St. in question and report to the Board as to its condition, grade and construction. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Albert P.
