Lexington Board of Appeals — Meeting Recap: March 12, 2026

This was one of the shortest Board of Appeals meetings on record. Four members were present (Jean Krieger was absent), and the board conducted exactly one vote: a motion to continue the Fein Ridge Avenue application to March 26, 2026. The motion passed without discussion.

The chair noted that since the only agenda item was a continuance motion, the normal hearing procedures would be skipped.

For neighbors and abutters tracking this case: it has been continued multiple times since it first appeared in December. That's several months of rescheduled hearings. If this application affects your street or neighborhood, March 26 is the date to have on your calendar.

No public comment was taken and no other business was conducted. Next meeting: March 26, 2026.
