Minutes, October 7, 1985 Page 2 the next scheduled meeting of the Board. Mr. and Mrs. Toga orally requested an extension of the time period until Nov. 4, 1985, and said they would follow this with a letter requesting the time extension tomorrow.

Jung Property,21 James Street; Preliminary Plan: Mr. Jung presented a dif- ferent plan to the Board than the plan which was submitted with the application and was reviewed by the staff. Ms. Rawski reported that the road would create an Irregularity in the existing street line, which is expressly forbidden by the Zoning By -Law and it is doubtful that 150 foot sideline offset from Wright Street could be maintained. Mrs. Smith pointed out that the Planning Board cannot waive the provisions of the Zoning By -Law. On the motion of Mrs. Flemings, seconded by Mrs. Uhrig, it was voted unanimously to disapprove: the plan entitled: "Figure 1 Preliminary Sketch for Subdivision Plan, Jung Subdivision Plan, 21 James Street, sheet 5 of 9", Kwi-yung Jung and Hee- sook Jung, applicants. 221. 188 Lowell Street, McNeil Associates: On the motion of Mr. Cripps, se- conded by Mrs. Uhrig it was voted unanimously to grant an extension of time until October 31, 1985, for action on the preliminary subdivision plan, as requested in their letter dated October 2, 1985. ' 222. Pheasant Brook, Revision to Site Plan: The developer requested permission to change the limit -of -work line on lots 52 and 53.

He has found the remodeling costs too high and is exploring the possibility of requesting the property be rezoned for office use. He reported that the building, of approximately 2500 sq. ft., is located between two professional buildings, and is one of three buildings out of the 14 buildings on Muzzey Street still used as residences. Being located between two parking lots does not make it a very attractive prospect for a two family home. He wanted to hear the Board's reaction to such a rezoning proposal. Mrs. Smith remarked that the Board was sorry to lose the proposed 2 family con- version. She felt that Town Meeting had spoken that the need for office space was not as great as the need for housing in that area. Mr. Cripps stated that there would be more opposition to a request for rezoning of the whole area to business use than there would be for a request for the conversion of one proper- ty. Mrs. Flemings agreed that it would be very difficult to get a rezoning of the area through Town Meeting, and stated that she would be against it. Mrs. Uhrig did not want to see the business center enlarged. An unofficial poll of the Board showed that the Board would probably unanimously oppose the rezoning if it came to Town Meeting for a vote.
