SPECIAL PLANNING BOARD MEETING <br />Wednesday, June 18,1952 <br />Present: Adams, Hathaway, Irwin, Johnson, Potter, Ripley. <br />Meeting opened at 5 o'clock. <br />McLaughlin <br />1 <br />lmb <br />Meeting adjourned at 6 o'clock. <br />10 <br />D. D. Hathaway <br />Clerk <br />Meeting for discussion on petition of 11r. Charles McLaughlin <br />for change of zoning on proposed housing project. It was the feeling <br />of Mr. Stevens that neither the Planning Board nor the Board of Select- <br />men could act on the petition as presented as it would mean a change of <br />zoning over a large area, which would be a town meeting matter. The <br />Board favors Mr. 7,TcLaughlinls building plan in that the area is a good <br />location whereas the government might buy less desirable sites, or take <br />land which may be harmful to the town.. Also the possibility of aban- <br />donment would not be present if individually owned. Mr. McLaughlin also <br />will adhere to all town specifications whereas there would be no control <br />over anything if government built. Taxes would also be available, and <br />some help toward schooling would be available. <br />It% Ripley moved, Mr. Potter seconded, that the Planning Board <br />at the present time indicate its willingness to present to a town meet- <br />ing the rezoning of this area as requested by Mr. McLaughlin - and that <br />Mr. McLaughlin present to us at the earliest possible time any further <br />relevant information. So voted. Mr. Burns to get information on what <br />aid the town can get, also the probable taxes. <br />1 <br />lmb <br />Meeting adjourned at 6 o'clock. <br />10 <br />D. D. Hathaway <br />Clerk <br />
