PLANNING BOARD MEETING <br />LEXINGTON, MASS. <br />Town Hall October 19,1925. <br />Present: Messrs. Emery, Tilton, Worthen, Duffy and Town Engineer French. <br />Messrs. Pichette and Ahern presented plans of Joseph Road <br />East Lexington for approval. The Board voted to approve a sketch <br />plan prepared at the meeting and signed by the :Town Engineer, said <br />plan amending the plan of the petitioners so as to provide for a <br />future road crossing the railroad and also for an extension northwesterly <br />to the Burns land adjoining, -minor adjustments and exchange of <br />lands being necessary between petitioners and one Kennedy to provide <br />for a desirable approach at this latter extension. The petitioners <br />agreed to negotiate with Miss(?) Kennedy to perfect the plan,- minor <br />changes in radii of curves and engineering details to be permitted <br />in accordance with the Town Engineer's directions. Formal hearing <br />is to be held by Board of Survey October 20 next, and Mr. Emery <br />agreed to represent the Planning Board at the hearing. <br />A plan was presented showing a projected street called <br />Blake Avenue from Edgwood Road on land of Blake. The plan being <br />substantially different from a general plan of this locality approved <br />by the Planning Board in the past and no provision being made for <br />rounding the corner of said street with Edgewood Road at land of <br />Earle, the Board voted not to approve the layout and to request <br />the petitioner Mr. Wadman to furnish more data with respect to <br />trees, etc, so that the possibility of a locstion more in harmony <br />with that which the Board formerly approved, may be studied. <br />Mr. Emery reported the result of conferences with Messrs. <br />Ryder and Aldrich with reference to lands abutting the playground <br />areas. <br />Discussion was had as to the feasibility of delegating <br />certain of the Board's activities to sub -committees, in the hope <br />that minor details may consume less time at regulator meeting, <br />and that the Board may devote more time to broader policies, such <br />as major thoroughfares, building lines, etc. <br />Meeting adjourned at 10.30 to Monday October 26 at 8 P.M. <br />J. H. Duffy, Clerk. <br />1Pro tem). <br />1 <br />
