280 Carrig; That date refers to our original date and has nothing to do with the subdivision. ' Stevenson, 22 Crescent Rd. Have the Fathers looked any other place for land? There is no other place? Lynch: I think they have looked all over. Stevenson: This is the first bit of land they found? Lynch: They have looked at a lot. MacLean, 46 Watertown St. I wonder if Mr. Lynch is aware of the traffic on Watertown St. going to Belmont. I think it is worse than the Pike. Lynch: Of course I am aware of it. But you will have one car going into this hospital to the fifty going into the Belmont Country Club. F. T. Grosser, 44 Golden Ave. I wonder if we can have a definit:g,:) answer as to whether this land can be built on the 15,500 lots or must it be 30,000? Carrig: I wish I could answer it. I do not know. Grosser: A further question. If this land is unsuitable for 15,500 and must revert to 30,000 sq.ft. lots, it seems rather clear then that it might not be a very profitable venture, and it would follow that the pur- chase of the ground by the petitioner is a good way of getting out of an area that has the possibility of Route 3 going through the 7-1/2 acres. Lynch: I think the gentleman is confused. Mr. Houdlette is on the Board? Houdlette: It will not go anywhere near it. If Rte -3 crosses the Concord Turnpike it will cross at the Arlington -Lexington line. Frederikson, 48 Golden Ave. This is the second time .we have been up here. Three years ago I bought a lot of land and built a home, with the idea that it was to be strictly a residential section. We invested every penny we had in this piece of land. We moved into Lexington and think the neigh- borhood is very nice and we sure liked the idea that it is a strictly resin dential section. First it is a Stop & Shop and now it is a hospital. I am here to oppose it. Locke: I think we should limit our conversation at this point to questions. Peterson, 9 Bowman St. I would like to know who is going to build the roads for this hospital and keep them up and do the snow removal Lynch: The Fathers will build and maintain their own roads. Grosser: A further question of fact. Will the Board tell us what is con- sidered chronic diseases? I Locke: You can answer that just as well as I can.
