6-30-58 on said date, the Board decided that the name of the subdivision was not acceptable and that Mr. DeVries be asked to choose another, said name being too confusing with titles such as "Sun Valley, 3ec-2" and "Sun Valley II, Sec. 2," etc. 2. At a special meeting of the Planning Board held on Wednesday, May 21, 1958, at which a quorum was present and acted throughout, it was unanimously VOTED: That the preliminary subdivision plan entitled "Sun Valley II Lexington, Mass.", dated April 151 19581 submitted to the Board on April 211 1958s be and hereby is disapproved for the reason that the location of the proposed streets do not connect to the adjacent lands in a way which allows them to be developed properly. Attached herewith is a set of prints of the subdivision plan on which is recorded the Board's vote. There is also enclosed a print of a scheme entitled "Suggested Develop- ment for a portion of Chapman-Tocci-Smith-DeVries Lands," dated May 29, 1958 and prepared for the Lexinton Planning Board. It is understood that on June 11, 1959 Mr. Snow gave you a rough draft of this study. This latter plan is based on your scheme but, in the Board's opinion, gives better alignment to A and C Streets. It does not, however, give sufficient consideration to the future development of the parcels of land southeasterly of ,your property. 3. Since the preparation of the above plan the Board has studied in more detail the lands now or formerly of Castelli, Pappas, and Walker with the idea of devising a scheme which will allow said lands to be developed properly at a later date. Attached herewith is a print which gives one solution to the problem, said print be— ing entitled "Suggested Subdivision of DeVries and Ad- jacent Lands in Lexington, Massachusetts," dated June 301 1958, and prepared for the Board. You may wish to consider this plan in preparing another plan for sub- mission to the Board. Sincerely yours, LEXINGTON PLANNING BOARD /s/ Thomas S. Grindle, Chairman 1
