PLANNING BOARD MINUTES
MEETING OF APRIL 30, 1984
The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board, held in Room G-15, Town Offices, was
called to order at 7:11 p.m. by the Vice Chairman, Mr. Sorensen, with members
Cripps, Flemings, Uhrig and Planning Director Bowyer present. Mrs. Smith joined
the meeting in progress.
ARTICLES FOR 1984 TOWN MEETING
111. Article 20, Lot Width: The Board reviewed this article which the Town
Meeting had referred back to it. It was agreed to clarify that the lot width
requirement would apply only to newly created lots and would not apply to the
"grandfathered" lots under Section 7.4.1.
Mrs. Smith joined the meeting.
112. Article 24, 16 Hayden Avenue, CD District: (Mrs. Uhrig disqualified herself
from discussion or voting on this rezoning.) The Board reviewed and approved the
report making a favorable recommendation on this article.
113. Article 46, Acceptance of Streets, Emerald Street: Mr. Bowyer showed a
layout of Emerald Street as approved by the Board of Selectmen. The Planning
Board could not understand why the Selectmen were proceeding with Emerald Street
as it did not meet the criteria for spending money relative to other unaccepted
streets. The layout, which has a truncated "hammerhead" turnaround, is not one
which the Planning Board would approve if presented to it in a definitive subdivi-
sion plan.
114. Planning Board Members
a. Board of Appeals: Mrs. Flemings reported on the hearing held on April
26, 1984. The most significant case, 231 Bedford Street, on which the
Planning Board had made an unfavorable recommendation, was withdrawn as
the proposal had not been submitted to the Conservation Commission.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:52 p.m.
