8- 18-58 r ' 1958 letter to the Planning Directors the Board gave further consideration to Mr. Frederic S. Johnson's rezoning petition. (See minutes of Planning Board's June 30* 1958 meeting.) Mr. Snow reported that Mr. Johnson had paid the application fee which had been determined by the Board. September 4s 1958 at 8:30 p.m. was set tentatively for a public hearing on said petition. 8:00 p.m. on the same date was re- served for the hearing on the proposed professional office amendment to the Zoning By-law. 1 1 ..2w Mr. Snow reported that he had discussed with the Town Counsel various matters in regard to the Board's approval of Raymond F. Boudreau's subdivi- sion plan entitled "Sunnyknoll Lexington* Mass." Mr. Snow said that as a result of this discussion he had prepared the plan for endorsement and an accom- panying letter of transmittal for the Board's consid- eration. The Board endorsed said plan with -the notation thereon, "Parcel A does not comply with the minimum requirements of the Lexington Zoning By- law." In view of the fact that the Town Counsel was on vacations it was decided that in this case only the subdivider be permitted to record in the Registry of Deeds the definitive Alan endorsed by the Board. The Board then approved said letter which was signed by the Chairman. (See addendum.) At 8:50 p.m. Chairman Donald E. Nickerson of the Board of Appeals met with the Planning Board to discuss an anticipated request from Mr. Anthony R. Cataldo for a variance to use the Lexington railroad station for banking purposes. Mr. Nickerson said that it was the Board of Appeals' opinion that a change in zone should be sought rather than said, variance from the Board of Appeals. Members of the Planning Board stated that before making any deci- sion in regard to the matter, more information was needed particularly in regard to how much land was involved. Mr. Nickerson agreed to obtain this in- formation. There was then discussed with Mr. Nickerson the problem of special office buildings in a single family residential district* particularly the pro- posal that professional offices should be limited to use by a person residing in the dwelling and that buildings should not be converted wholly to office use. Mr. Nickerson concurred in, the opinion that an amendment .to the zoning by-law setting forth the above considerations should be proposed. Thereupon* he left the meeting at 9:10 p.m. JOHNSON REZONING PETITION SUNNYSNOLL R1toC2 REZONING PROPOSAL CATALDO PROPOSED ZONING AMENDMENT PROFES- SIONAL OFFICES
