Yonday, February 14, 1955 Present: Adams, Crrindle, Hathaway, Irwin, Jaquith, Ripley. Meeting opened at 8:00 o'clock. Since Mr. Adams was not present, Mr. Irwin was unanimously elected to serve as Chairman pro -tem. The record of the previous meeting was read and approved. Mr. Adams appeared at 8:15 o'clock. Mr. William Potter was present for informal discussion. He suggested that since some streets, such as Walnut street, are of varying widths, the required 30' setback results in an insufficient set -back in some instances when new roads are built. He suggests that the law be amended to require a 50' set -back from the center of the traveled way. He also suggests that in the issuing of building permits, approval be required from a certified civil engineer since in some instances it has been found that bounds shown on a plan are not true. sir. Irwin stated that the new Building By-laws are taking care of this situation. Mr. Potter also stated that in his opinion the park- ing lot proposal should appear on the coming Town Warrant, as he believes the situation will soon get out of hand and it will be too late to do anything about it. Informal discussion followed on M-1 zoning. It was decided that Mr. ' Adams would contact Cabot, Cabot & Forbes and have a representative present for discussion at the meeting on Monday, Feb. 21. In the event that this is t comren. nt for them, Mr. Jaquith will contact a representative of the adley Co.
