PLANNING BOARD MATING July 2, 1936 ' Present: Messrs, Borden, Ellis, Ferguson, Niekerson,,Sellars and Kimball, and Town Engineer Cosgrove. Results of the firld study of the areas adjoining the Concord Turnpike were discussed and approximate layouts of side road locations were turned over to Mr. Cosgrove for his Concord guidance in preparing final maps to be presented, together Turnpike with the Board's recommendations, to the Town for action. Mr. R. L. Ryder appeared before the Board with a re- quest that the layout of streets in the general area of Vine Brook Road, Winthrop Road and so-called South Branch be re- viewed to the end that a Board of Survey layout of the street known as Bliss Avenue be abandoned at its southwesterly inter- section with Vine Brook Road and that a forty foot street be laid out connecting Vine Brook Road and Winthrop Road Extension as shown on a diagram presented by Mr. Ryder. The Board is of the opinion that the Board of Survey lay- out of a highway from the southerly side of Mass. Avenue and R. L. following in a southerly direction and generally along the Ryder South Branch should be continued. It is however of the opinion that a modification at the intersection at Vine Brook Road is acceptable. The Board approves in principle the proposed street connecting Vine Brook Road and Winthrop Road, situated between the South Branch and Winthrop Road. Notice of intention to petition for the changing of a parcel of land located on the Concord Turnpike opposite Blossom Street from an R.l to a C.1 District, together with a request for the allocation of the area affected, was re- ceived from Mr. Eric Peterson.
