r In response to a request from the Board of Selectmen that we provide a list of lots which need not be covered in their moratorium, the Board ' instructed the planning director to reply as follows: 1. The planning board will keep the Selectmen's list up to date with all information available to us including the addition of any newly discovered lots; 2. We request the continuation of the moratorium for one year, in view of the present activity of the Lexington Housing Authority and their probable need for other lots not on their present list; 3. If a given lot appears to the Selectmen to be a special case, we ask that they refer to us the question of whether the given lot should be released from the moratorium. The Planning Board would like the opportunity to consider and recommend in such cases on an individual basis. Mr. Costello will review and sign the letter. Wm. O'Neill has requested that the private driveway off Mass. Avenue serving his and three other houses be given a name. The Board felt that the request is reasonable, both from a convenience and a public safety viewpoint. However, it is not clear who should approve the giving of a name and the erection of a sign. There is no intention that the driveway should become a Town responsibility. Mr. Briggs will con- sult Norman Cohen on the matter. Request received from Louis Stoico, President of Village Development Corp., that installation of sidewalks be waived in the Village Circle subdivision, and a petition to that effect signed by some of the abettors to Village Circle, were reviewed. The Board instructed Mr. Briggs to inform both Mr. Stoico and each of the subdivision lot owners that the law does not permit the planning board to change a subdivision unless there is unanimous consent from all landowners, which is not the case with this request. Therefore no action by the Planning Board is possible and the requirement for sidewalks must stand.

Upon a motion duly made and seconded, it was SIDEWALKS VOTED: That in view of the unanimous request by all owners of lots in the subdivision entitled "Oak Park - Section II, Lexington, Mass.", dated February 28, 1969, revised June 27, 1969, by Joseph W. Moore, the requirement for sidealks be deleted as it originally applied for Fair- field Drive and Brookwood Road. The Town Clerk and the Engineering Department will be duly informed by Mr. Briggs, as well as the developer and each of the subdivision landowners. The meeting was adjourned at 10:35 p.m. I Paul J.
