PLANNING BOARD MEETING <br />May 4, 1937 <br />' Present:- Messrs. Borden, Ellis, Ferguson, Kraetzer, Nickerson <br />and Kimball. <br />Definite action on the Town Meeting Map and the Zoning <br />By -Law reprint is held in abeyance awaiting the revised Town Maps <br />Map. Mr. Cosgrove reports that he expects to have the 8001 <br />scale map completed by July 1st. <br />Consideration was again directed to the subject of lot <br />area and frontages and it was decided to invite a number of Lot Area <br />property owners to meet with the Board for the purpose of ob- & <br />taining the general reaction and if it appears advisable, to Frontage <br />form a committee at this meeting for the purpose of carrying <br />through an active campaign with a definite recommendation for <br />the March, 1938, Town Meeting. <br />A discussion of the advisability of discontinuing manu- <br />facturing districts in Lexington resulted in the general be- <br />lief that while there has been no need for such provisions <br />since our by-laws were drawn, the Board will be in a stronger <br />position to resist possible invasion in other parts of the Manu - <br />Town, if there is at least one such district available. It factoring <br />was pointed out that the M.1 District in East Lexington con- <br />tained quite a fair residential development and that as a Zones <br />protection to the property owners the classification should <br />be changed to a residential zone. It was decided to instigate <br />the change through suggestion to some of the owners. The <br />North Lexington District is not suitable for residential use <br />and will be left as at present. <br />Mr. Borden informed the Board that he expected to move <br />to Winchester around July lst and that his connection as a <br />Board member would therefore be automatically severed. <br />The Board expressed its regret at losing Mr. Borden Membership <br />and voted to ask Ivir. 117. R. Greeley to become a candidate <br />for appointment to fill the vacancy until the next annual <br />election. <br />5/5/37 - Note:- Mr. Greeley signified his agreement to the <br />use of his name. <br />The meeting adjourned at 10:15 P. M. until Wednesday <br />May 19th at 8:00 P . M. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Clerk <br />
