Dunning; plan entitled *Subdivision Plan of Land Lexington, Mass,ny Scale: la a.60', dated Nov. 9, 1957, Robert H. Dunning, Surveyor., Arlington. The filed plan showed a proposal for subdividing, into two lots, the property owned by Mr. and Mrs. Millyan numbered 561 Massachusetts Avenue. Mr. Snow pointed out that the proposed extension of Emerson Road, as had been recommended in the Master Street Plan, would be located directly across said property. He recommended that, if said street plan was to be put into effect, the owners of the property be approached immediately and told of the Board's proposal, and that if possible, an option be ob- tained for the purchase of the house and the necessary land for a 70 -foot wide street. In discussing the matter further it was decided that a STREET detailed plan would have to be prepared showing the proposed OPTION location of Emerson Road from the B & M railroad tracks across Massachusetts Avenue toward Route 2. It was suggested that it might be possible to locate the road across the Mi.11yan property in such a manner as to provide for two additional house lots as well. It was decided to withhold action on making a Plan- ning Board determination and to have Mr. Snow discuss with Mr. Gaya the location of the road, Mr. Snow then preparing a plan as noted above, discussing said plan with the property owners, and reporting his findings to the Board at its next meeting. The Board next considered the Selectmen's November 27, TOWN 1957 letter (1) referring to the report of the Refuse and DDHP Garbage Disposal Study Committee authorised by Town Meeting
