A petition for zoning change on Pleasant Street near the
<br />new Concord Highway was read, and it was explained that the
<br />petitioner, one ^;r. Moody, had first applied to the Board of
<br />Appeals, and had been referred to the Planning Board. The pet-
<br />ition called for a change from Residence to Business of a plot
<br />about 100 feet av✓ay from the highway, and fronting on Pleasant
<br />Street.
<br />After some discussion, it was felt that the area, while
<br />not on the new Highway, did definitely affect it. Accordingly
<br />the Clerk was instructed to write I�Ir. % oody to the effect that
<br />the Board, wished hir, to wait until after the results of the
<br />Cotton Bill were ascertained. Mr. Duffy reported that this
<br />Bill was expected to come out of committee in the near future.
<br />I;r. Robinson mentioned that Mr. Bashian had unofficially
<br />declared that he was going to apply for a Business Zone at the
<br />"Bluffs" in exchange for the donation of some land as a public
<br />park.
<br />Is. Greeley mentioned that =vir. L. G. Piitchell, Civic
<br />Committee, Lexington Field and Garden Club, had asked for
<br />suggestions as to where his organization could aid the Town by
<br />planting flowers or shrubs on the embankments at highway cuts.
<br />T_r. Duffy reported that Stone -Heap Inn was being offered
<br />for sale, and that the mortgage owners were offering it to the
<br />Town at ,^✓hat they considered_ to be a very reasonable price.
<br />The Clerk was instructed to write them to the effect that the
<br />Board saw no use for the property at the present time.

<br />Discussion of top -soil stripping resulted in bringing out
<br />the opinion that such a use was undesirable only when it assumed
<br />the dimensions of a business, at which times it could be pro- Top
<br />hibited on the basis of being a business in a residential district. soil
<br />It was felt that in a Zoning By -Law, a dividing line would be
<br />very difficult to draw. Trir. Robinson suggested that some amend-
<br />ment night be useful from the administrative point of view.
<br />The Clerk was instructed to write the Board of Selectmen
<br />to the effect that the Board did not feel that an amendment to
<br />the Zoning By -Law was necessary.
<br />Discussion of the parking census brought out the fact that
<br />21'r. Kimball and i,r. Greeley were putting in considerable time
<br />summarizing the results of the count. They were instructed to Parking
<br />draw up a report and submit it to the Board for approval, be-
<br />fore submitting it to the Board of Selectmen.
