April 26, 1978
The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was called to order at
7:08 p.m. by the chairman Mr. Zabin with members Wheaton, Friedman,
Sandy, Nichols, planning director Briggs, and secretary Mrs. Snow
present. Also in attendance was Ted Osborn, D.A.C.
Norman Dahl, spokesman for Meadowland Inc.neighborhood association,
and several association members were present for discussion of a 3 -lot
subdivision of a portion of the Daisy Wilson land. Financial aspects
of road construction and utility installation were discussed and
Mr. Dahl requested Planning Board consideration of approval of a
common drive to serve the 2 rear lots. The Association is seeking
a way to have future owners of the lots assume responsibility for
road and utility cots and installation at the time of purchase. An
alternate layout plan was shown with all lots fronting on Moreland Ave.
It was generally agreed that layout #1 (with 2 rear lots) was to be
preferred based on hydrological and topographical features of the site.
The proponents will return on May 1, when discussion will be resumed.

Mr. Briggs reported on possible action of the Board of Selectmen to lift SEWER MORA -
lift the sewer moratorium. The Planning Board will recommend by letter TORIUM
to the Selectmen that the restriction be continued until the infiltration
and surcharging problems have been solved.
Mr. Briggs reported on the extent of the Honeywell petition (4/27 B/A HONEYWELL
hearing) to allow expansion at the Forbes Rd. facility. Since the B/A 4/27
proposed construction would not call for increased parking, nor impact
existing parking, it was agreed that no comment would be made on the
proposal.
The Curtin petition for variance to allow increased floor area in a pro- CURTIN B/A
posed office building at 271 Lincoln St. was again reviewed at the re-
quest of Mr. Briggs (see 4/24 minutes). In the light of recalculation
of usable square footage of floor area in the proposed building, parking
provisions are deemed to be adequate as shown (24 spaces). Letter to the
B/A recommending denial of the variance will be prepared based on
lack of hardship and poor siting of the structure. It will also be
recommended that the development, if allowed, be constructed in strict
conformance with the rendering submitted. Copy of the rendering will
accompany the letter.
