Bill Bill presented by Spaulding -Moss Co., 1 M Town of Lexington Zoning Map, $29.15. Unanimously voted the bill be paid. HEARING - DIANNE ESTATES Public hearing held at 8 o'clock relative to the application for approval as a subdivision the property of Dianne Estates, Inc.,.Liberty Ave. from Revere St. in a northwesterly direction about 6001. Two citizens appeared and looked at plans. No questions - no objections. It was recom- mended by the Board that the name of Liberty Ave. be changed to "Quincy Ave." Approval withheld until notice of acceptance received from the Board of Health. School Committee Mr. Richard Crm well representing the School Committee appeared for information and assistance re: future school planning. He stated that there is immediate need of two new schools, but since both could not be built at the same time there was a question of which area was in most ur- gent need -Maple St. or Franklin School addition. The Committee would like some figures on which to base a choice. It was suggested by the Board that the Wheeler Estate is definitely under way and is the biggest new develop.. ment at this time. Also the county road is going through that area which will no doubt further open it for building. On the other hand Cary Farm is also being developed altho more slowly, and the proposed intra -town road would make a difference in the Fiske territory. It was suggested that this is a problem which the new employee of the Planning Board might well study as it is within his province, and that a map be drawn showing the number of subdivisions under way, the area still left under the old lotting, new roads, and other pertinent information which would help the committee to visualize the situation. This information should be available in time for presentation at the next town meeting. Silva - Smith - Ampola Form A submitted by Dr. Smith is being held to wait the 15 -day appeal per .on Board of Appeals action.
