10-13-59 -5- ' the Lexington Minute -man. If there is any information or help that you require at this time please contact me. Sincerely yours, LEXINGTON PLANNING BOARD Is/ Charles T. Abbott, Chairman October 13, 1959 Board of Appeals Town Office Building Lexington 73, Mass. Re: Rose Massucco Netzer petition Trailer to be used as dwelling Gentlemen: /s/ Charles T. Abbott, Chairman The Planning Board has no knowledge of the facts to be presented in regard to the petition referred to above to vary the Building By-law. The Board would like to comment, however, on said petition with reference to Lexingtonts ' Zoning By-law. In the original preparation of said Zoning By-law and its subsequent revisions no provision was made for the inclu- sion of trailers as a permitted building or use. It is be- lieved that this was not an oversight on the part of the Planning Board in recommending the by-law or of the Town in voting upon the same. It is believed that it was intended that house trailers not be permitted. The Planning Board believes that their inclusion in residential districts tends to depreciate the value of the neighborhood and that public convenience and welfare will not be substantially served by the granting of said petition. It is for these reasons that the Board wishes to be placed on record as being opposed to the granting of the petition. Sincerely yours, LEXINGTON PLANP?ING BOARD /s/ Charles T. Abbott, Chairman
