PLANNING BOARD MEETING <br />Lexington, Mass. <br />October 2, 1928. <br />Present; Messrs. Emery, Duffy, Cutler and <br />Milne. <br />Copies of the engineer's complete report <br />on the Vine Brook drainage and development project <br />was received. Copies were given to Messrs. ,Duffy, <br />Cutler and Milne for further review. <br />W. D. Milne, <br />Clerk. <br />11 <br />Discussion was chiefly on the proposed <br />division of the zoning by-law, particularly on the <br />limitation of individual lot sizes. Mr. Emery <br />stressed the necessity for putting the amendments <br />of the zoning law in shape for a town meeting to <br />be held in November. It was proposed to amend the <br />law to read to the effect that in all land hereafter <br />' <br />laid out, each lot shall have a seventy foot frontage <br />on the highway and an area of not less than 7000 sq, <br />ft., also that a side yard of not less than 10 ft. <br />be required on each side of house and that a rear <br />yard of not less than 30 ft. be provided, not over <br />30 per cent of which may be covered with accessory <br />buildings. Mr. Duffy was quite insistent in his <br />argument for a greater depth, but others present <br />regarded 7000 ft. as the maximum in the way of a <br />limitation which it would be expedient to try to <br />secure. <br />W. D. Milne, <br />Clerk. <br />11 <br />
