VOTED: That the plans accompanying applications X57-15, X57-17, and `A,7-1$ be signed bear- ing the endorsement "Lexington Planning Board approval not required under the Sub- division Control Law." In regard to the plan accompanying the Stankard application, it was notedthat while said application stated that Lot l was to be added to Lot A, there was no assurance that the buyer would not eventually wish to build on Lot 1 fronting on Bacon Street. The Board decided that said private way does not have sufficient i,;idths and adequate construction to pro- vide for the needs of vehicular traffic, etc. The Board decided further that because of these condi- tions it would have to determine that the plan does require subdivision approval unless firs. Stankard and her brother, Mr. Bevington, signed an agreement to be recorded with the plan that Lots A and 1 are deemed to be combined into one lot for all purposes. Mr. Snow was asked to discuss the matter with .'Mirs. Stankard and to suggest that she may wish to with- draw her application until such time as an agree- ment could be drawn or some other arrangement made in regard to the plan. The Board reviewed its January 23, 1957.letter to the School Committee calling to the attention of the committee the imminent possibility of a subdivi- sion being developed on three sides of the Harrington School grounds and suggesting that the committee may wish to acquire additional land for the school be- fore the development takes place. Read to the Board was Supt. Smith's February 5 reply that the present site was adequate for school needs, that the Recrea- tion Committee might wish to establish a more exten- sive playground program on the site and therefore need more land, and the matter might be presented to said committee for a recommendation from that group. It was decided that Chairman Hathaway would arrange for a meeting with the Recreation Committee in re- gard to r. Smith's letter. Considered also was P-ir. Alfred P. Tropeano's February 7, 1957 letter in which he requested that the Planning Board inform him in writing what it was going to recommend in regard to sidewalks and the width of surfacing of streets in the Hawthorne Acre subdivision. He wished this information before his clients, Esco Builders, entered into a purchase and sales agreement with the Town for a junior high school site. In answer to this request the Board decided to reaffirm its previous statement that all streets within the subdivision were to be 50 feet STANKARD HARRINGTON SCHOOL SITE HAUtTH ORNE ACRES iJ 1 1
