PLANNING BOARD MEETING <br />' TOWN HALL <br />Lexington, Mass. <br />October 26, 1925. <br />Present: Mr. Emery, Chairman, Dr. J. 0. Tilton, Messrs. J.H. <br />Duffy, W. D. Milne, C. B. French, Town Engineer. <br />Henry C. Rowland of Arlington, appeared with Tebbets, <br />Building Inspector, presenting matters pertaining to lot and <br />street development in property off Massachusetts Ave. between <br />Slocum Road and Bloomfield St. He was urged to make allowances <br />for a street development that could be acceptable to the town. <br />He was asked to cooperate with the Town Engineer and appear at <br />the next meeting with plan and sufficient data for the whole <br />area between Massachusetts Ave., Slocum Road, and Bloomfield <br />St. so that the Planning Board might intelligently discuss the <br />proposition and a suitable street location be found. He agreed <br />to do this. <br />Mr. Wadman appeared with further reference to the Blake <br />Ave.' development. There was a long discussion of the iniquities <br />of departing from plans previously agreed upon by the Planning <br />Board and all interested parties in this neighborhood, and <br />proceeding on plans of a nature wholly unacceptable to the <br />public interest without consulting either the Planning Board <br />or the Board of Survey. <br />The plan for the Blake Ave. (Wadman development) as <br />prepared by Engineer Cutter was discarded, and a more suitable <br />street location was shown. Engineer French agreed to work <br />out the details and submit a suitable plan at meeting November <br />2, preparatory to the Board of Survey hearing on this matter <br />set for November 3. <br />One Dreselley, erecting a house on lot in former <br />Merriam land on line of proposed Blake Ave. location was advised <br />to suspend building operations until line of proposed street <br />was fixed by the Board of Survey. <br />It was suggested that Engineer Cutter be warned to <br />govern himself by Planning Board proposals in street matters and <br />not to proceed to suit his own or his client's fancy without <br />consulting with the Board'where studies had been made. <br />Meeting adjourned at 10 P.M. till Monday November 2,1925. <br />W. D. Milne, Clerk. <br />1 <br />
