PLANNING BOARD MEETING III April; 1925. Present; Chairman Emery, Messrs. Tilton, Worthen, Glynn and Milne. C. E. French, Town Engineer, Lexington Building Trust. The matter off -Lexington Building Trust street location northerly from Burlington Street near Hancock Street along land of George A. Warner was discussed. Messrs. Emery, Glynn and Milne had previously viewed lines as staked out by Town Engineer showing the taking of Warner land desired by the Lexington Building Trust. It was voted that it was the sentiment of the Board that an agreement between the Lexington Building Trust and Warner, permitting the taking of a curved piece of Warner land was desirable, but that failing such an agreement, the street could be properly laid out without involving the Warner land. The clerk was directed to so inform these parties. (See copies of letters to Lexington Building Trust and Geo.A. Warner, dated April 28, 1925). It was further voted to recommend to the Lexington Building Trust a further study of proposed location of streets in their development as follows: The Planning Board after examination of the premises and study of the Preliminary Plan dated December 1920, sub- mitted by the Lexington Building Trust, recomirends to said Trust that an effort be made to lay out the proposed street leading northward from Burlington Street beside land of George A. Warner, in such a manner as to afford a direct through street substantially parallel to Burlington and Grove Streets to the street called Simonds Road, and eventually to Grove St, at such a point that the present sharp curves in Grove Street may be eliminated. The clerk was directed to inform the Lexington Building Trust to this effect. Muzzev Street. The matter of building lines on Muzzey Street was dis- cussed, and the clerk was directed to invite James J. Carroll, P. F. Dacey, and E. H. Mara to meet with the Board on this matter, at its next sitting. The extension of Highland Ave.was discussed,and the Town Engineer was asked to secure certain data affecting drainage and street locations in that and nearby sections.
