Monday, February 41952 ' Presents Adams, Caouette, Irwin, Johnson, Potter, Ripley. Meeting opened at 7s45 p.m. Bill presented by Louise L4. Baker, secretarial service Jan. 10 and 24, $10-00. Unanimously voted the bill be paid. n Letter read from Mrs. Edith M. Boyd of Bedford street requesting change from residence zone to business. Decided to write her a letter stat- ing that it was the plan of the Board to study the whole area in the near future, and as it was too late for this town warrant the Board would insti- tute the change later. Letter read from A & P confirming their request for Johnson land for store, with or without additional Gibson property, but would prefer to have the latter also. Mr. Johnson asked if the area designated for signatures could be cut as it included so many property owners. However, after discus- sion it was decided to leave the area as originally decided upon. ' McLaughlin Mr. Charles Mclaughlin and Mr. Leon Comeau appeared with request for tentative approval of layout on Wood street, plan same as that presented pre- viously except that a cul-de-sac had been provided at a dead-end street. No criticisms and plan taken under advisement. Bpard of Assessors The Board of Assessors, comprised of William Burnham, Leland Emery, Neal Cronin, and Edward Cass appeared for informal discussion of taxes on y parking areas. It is the feeling of the Planning Board that those property owners of back land who are willing to spend money to improve the land for free public parking should not be penalized by having their taxes raised. The Board of Assessors feel that when the land is improved it becomes more valuable and that it would rather see the town build parking areas than to set up false assessments. However, they are willing to give careful consideration to the matter in order to try and find some solution, and have asked the Planning Board to give them pertinent data. u lmb Meeting adjourned at 9845 until Monday, Peb. 18th.
