The minutes of all regular meetings of the Board from March 9, 1934 to June 21, 1934, were read by the Clerk and approved by the Board. Consideration of the petition of John H. Millican of i Burlington Street for a new road from Burlington Street to Adams Street showed that nothing could be done by the Board until a millican comprehensive plan of the whole area was prepared, giving special attention to the drainage, sewerage, and access of the area. The Clerk was instructed to write the Board of Selectmen to that effect. The Clerk was instructed to communicate with Mrs. Cutler Cutler in regard to her petition for a change in zoning along the new Petition State Highway. Mr. Duffy, in reporting the Regional Planning Board Meet - Ingo said that Mossrw. tiles Smith of Belmont, Sumner Smith of Lincoln, Herbert Dutcher of Arlington, and Reginald Morgan of Concord had attended; that the work of the Westchester County Park Commission had been cited and discussed; that concerted, unified action was necessary on the part of all the Towns con- cerned; that the Concord Planning Board had received and denied several petitions for ,coning changes, in spite of the fact that the Concord Board of"Se leotmen apparently favored some of the changes. Mr. Duffy suggested that the best procedure was to have prepared it use and zoning map of the area affected by the high- way, which map would show existing business uses and filling stations within a mile of the highway, as well as appreciable differences in elevation, such as cuts and fills of over 61. He reported that the Engineer of the Metropolitan Planning Board had been asked to prepare such a map, Er. Glynn suggested that all business might be located on loop spurs off the main highway. Er. Duffy presented the idea of community marts in place of many wayside stands. Mr, Glynn raided the possibility of uniform architectural style for all wayside stands. It was shown that the work of the Regional Board should be done as expeditiously as possible, in order to prepare the several Planning Boards for the barrage of petitions that would soon be presented. Commients followed on the general layout of the highway, especially as regarded the deep out between Waltham and Blossom Streets. Concord
