MEETING OF APRIL 1, 2002
The meeting of the Lexington Planning Board held in the Carpenter Room, National Heritage Museum,
33 Marrett Road, Lexington., was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chairman Galaitsis with members,
Chase, Davies, Harden, Kastorf and planning staff Garber, McCall - Taylor, and Tyson present.
SUBDIVISION OF LAND
Bird Hill Road, Scott Seaver, Waiver of Required Roadwork Ms McCall - Taylor reported that Mr. Seaver
requested that the Planning Board waive the requirement that the improvements to Bird Hill Road that
will be done as part of his submitted subdivision plan must be done before a building permit is issued for
the lots fronting on the road. The road already exists so it provides adequate access for construction
vehicles and delaying the final roadwork will avoid damage by construction vehicles.
On the motion of Mr. Davies, seconded by Ms. Chase, the Board voted unanimously, 5 -0, to waive the
requirement that roadwork on Bird Hill Road be completed before issuance of a building permit to build
the subdivision.
