156 <br />desirability of a 401 set back. Mr. Bidwell <br />said he didnit believe so and he could see no <br />reason why the builders should be asked to set <br />their houses back forty feet. <br />Mr. Lyon stated that if the houses are <br />built in Burlington he cannot sell the land. <br />The owner will have to vote in Burlington and <br />will have no rights in Lexington. <br />The Chairman said as he understands the <br />situation the next thing islone more hearing <br />before the Board of Appeals and then it will <br />be proper for the Selectmen to enter into the <br />controversy. Mr. Bidwell replied in the affir- <br />mative and stated that if it was proper and <br />the Selectmen can urge the Building Inspector <br />to grant the building permit, he would appreciate <br />it. <br />The Chairman stated that Mi'. Williams certainly <br />has the right for a hearing before the Board of <br />Appeals but the Selectmen had ::nothing to do <br />with the delay. The group retired at 8:15 P.M. <br />It was agreed that the Chairman should look <br />into the matter in an effort to determine what <br />is holding this up, if anything. <br />Mr. Alan G. Adams and Mr. William G. Potter <br />of the Planning Board met with the Selectmen. <br />Mr. Adams informed the Board that the Planning <br />Board recommends that the Selectmen reject the <br />Tax offer submitted by Gustave E. Larson of $1,300.00 <br />Title for 13 lots on Hillside Avenue unless he agreed <br />Property to construct an entrance from Oak Street. <br />Mr. Potter explained that should Mr. Larson <br />agree to do this the town would have the benefit, <br />when he opened'the Area up, to sell the lots in <br />that vicinity for a fairly good figure. <br />The Chairman askec i.f they recommended that <br />the offer be denied and that he be advised to <br />see the Planning Board for an alternative prop- <br />osition. Mr. Potter thought it could be handled <br />in this manner or the Board could discuss it further <br />witif Mr. Larson. Mr. Adams and Mr. Potter retired <br />at 8:35 P.M. <br />The Chairman asked what the Board wished to <br />do and upon motion of Mr. Nickerson, seconded by <br />Mr. Driscoll, it was voted that Mr. Larson+s offer <br />of $1,300. for 13 lots be not accepted. <br />*10 <br />Ptj <br />Sad <br />
