J <br />1 <br />PLANNING BOARD'MEETING <br />February 13, 1935 <br />A regular meeting of the Planning Board was bold in the <br />Conference Room of the Town Office Building on Wednesday, Feb- <br />ruary 13, 1935, at 8:00 P. M. Messrs. Duffy, Ellis, Greeley, <br />Kimball and Robinson were present. <br />The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. <br />The matter of a hearing on Mrs. Kelleyfe petition for a <br />change in zoning was brought up, and the date of the hearing was <br />set for Wednesday, March 6, 19350 at SiOO P. M. in the,Seleetmen's <br />Room of the Town Office Building. The Clerk was instructed to <br />make arrangements for the necessary publicity. <br />It was reported that the State Highway -Department had <br />considered a new layout for Watertown Street. Upon consult- <br />ing Mr. Trask, it was learned that the State and County <br />Engineers had proposed a relocation involving lees change in <br />alignment than the straight proposals that this new proposal <br />had the advantages of less interference with the Belmont <br />Springs Country Club property, and of intersecting the new <br />Highway at a nearly level stretch of the highway; that the <br />Town had not seen any maps of this proposal, and the Select- <br />men would not favor it until it had been presented to them <br />in more detail. <br />There seemed to be some doubt if the Town would grant <br />the Board the $300.00 desired for Engineering Services, and <br />the opinion of the Board was that such services were necessary <br />even if they had to be contributed by the Engineering Depart- <br />ment. <br />The Board expressed the opinion that, in order to dis- <br />cuss intelligently the Clematis Brook situation, it was <br />necessary to have some proposals on a map, as well as some <br />indication of the topography of the area. It was further <br />pointed out that the treatment of the brook would have to <br />be subordinated to the general development of that area. <br />With this in mind, Messrs. Kimball and Greeley offered to <br />put some proposals on an 800-soale map of the Town, present <br />them to the Board, and then ask the Engineering Department <br />to draw up the suggestions of the Board for further delibera- <br />tion. <br />The meeting was adjourned about 10:45 Pe M. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Roland B. Greeley (Signed) <br />Clerk <br />Kelley <br />Petition <br />Watertown <br />Street <br />Clematis <br />., <br />
