PLANNING BOARD MEETING <br />OCTOBER 131 1931 <br />A meeting of the Planning Boar.•d was held in the Confer- <br />ence Room of the Town Office Bufl Cing at 8:00 P. M. Messrs. <br />Emery, Duffy, Milne, Cutler, and Glynn were present. The Town <br />Engineer and the secretary were also present. <br />The Town Engineer stated that he had talked with two <br />members of the Yetropolitan Planning Division, regarding Mr. <br />Ryder's proposed road. They have just finished the field <br />study so that plans have not been worked up yet. They favor. <br />Mr. Ryder's scheme more than Arlington's but nothing definite <br />has been done on it yet. <br />The, Chairman read the record of last week's meeting <br />and made corrections. <br />A letter was read from Metcalf & Eddy stating that <br />they would be glad to have Mr. Raymond assist Mr. Cosgrove <br />In working up a plan for the lower portion of Vine Brook. <br />Mr. Raymond is to be out next week to start the work. <br />Mr. Emery read a letter from the Planning Board of <br />Needham in which they asked for information regarding the <br />granting of permits for the construction of more than two - <br />car garages. A letter was written them stating that we <br />enclosed a copy of the Zoning Laws which were the only <br />regulations used besides the State regulations, and local <br />Building Laws. <br />Mr. Cutler informed the Board that he was unable to <br />attend the conference of Planning Boards held in Lowell last <br />week as he had anticipated. <br />Mr. Emery informed the Board that he had talked with <br />Mr. `rightington and found that he had been busy all week <br />at court and did not have tire to work on our question. He <br />said that if we associated a road with the brook, he could <br />handle the thing simply and. thoroughly but if we did not, <br />the situation was rather unsettled. He is going to look up <br />the derivation of the law in regard to this, and even then <br />may not be able to give us an answer. <br />It was suggested that a study be made of the brook <br />and proceed under the highway statutes to lay down the lines <br />as suggested by Mr. V,,"rightington. If the road has got to <br />follow an independent course, ..ve will have to wait until we <br />get an opinion from the Town Counsel and find out what may <br />be done. <br />Plans of the brook were studied and it was found that <br />some of the land along the brook was very swampy and bad for <br />Mr. Ryder's <br />Proposed <br />Road <br />Metcalf & <br />Eddy Letter <br />Letter from <br />Needham <br />P 1 anni ng <br />Board <br />Vine <br />Brook <br />Project <br />
