-4-58 <br />McGonigle stating that six years ago the A & P company <br />located in a building which had proven to be inade- <br />quate. He asked if the lot numbered 25 Bedford Street <br />were rezoned for A & P use, how long the area would be <br />adequate. Mr. McGonigle replied that he did not know, <br />pointing out that five years ago the company believed <br />it had sufficient building and lot for a long time. <br />Mr.Corbett of 26 Bedford Street said that if <br />the town rezoned the property numbered 25 Bedford Street <br />to general business use, he would request in writing <br />that his property be rezoned for said use also. <br />Mr. Van Norden of 8 Bedford Street pointed out <br />that in 1953 the Planning Board voted not to recommend <br />the proposal of Lester Andrews to rezone the property <br />numbered 30 Bedford Street from residential to local <br />business use. <br />Mr. Tropeano asked if the Planning Board had <br />any solution to the traffic problem which now existed <br />at the A & P store. Mr.. Jaquith said that the Board <br />had not, that it had taken the information presented <br />with the proposal, had decided it was riot sufficient <br />for the Board's needs, and that the Board planned to I obtain additional.information before giving the problem <br />further study. <br />Someone inquired if with one-third increase in <br />the proposed A & P lot size, the town could reasonably <br />expect one-third more increase intax revenue from the <br />A & P store. Mr. McGonigle stated that he thought <br />there would be said amount of increase in tax revenue. <br />Miss Helen E. Ryan of 10 Bedford Street pre- <br />sented a petition signed by forty-two residents, said <br />petition setting forth opposition to the rezoning; pro- <br />posal. Miss Ryan asked Mr. Grindle to read the peti- <br />tion to those attending the hearing, and to include <br />said petition in the official records of the hearing. <br />Some of those signing the petition as well as a number <br />of others commented further on said petition and gave <br />reasons for opposing the rezoning proposal. <br />Mr.Jaquith concluded the hearing by asking all <br />those present who wished to do so for an expression of <br />opinion in regard to the rezoning proposal. By a show <br />of hands, nine persons wished to be recorded as being in <br />favor of said proposal, forty-four opposed.' Thereupon <br />the hearing was declared closed at 9:55 p.m. e <br />Thomas S. Grindle <br />Chairman <br />
