The Board has no objections of 30 and 35 foot setback, provided the next section has a setback of 40 ft. or more. (See addenda.) Mrs. Battin then explained to the Board that her memo on nursing homes was not meant as a finished document but rather as an exploratory preliminary draft. Mr. Kneeland, Atty. for the Newton Cooperative Bank, and Mrs. Mary Guarino, owner of land at #271 Lincoln St. (Carriage House) next met with the Board. Mr. Bryson explained the present status of the proposal. Mr. Kneeland then spoke on economic considerations for Mrs. Guarino and the Newton Coopera- tive Bank, the mortgagee holding at present a mortgage of $24,000. originally computed at $2.00 per square foot. The re- zoning would mean a severe financial hardship since Mrs. Guarino has several prospects for commercial use of this land, such as medical building or office of Registry of Motor Vehicles, and expects one of such commercial uses to materialize within 9 months. If rezoned this land would be worth $8,000 to $9,000• MINUTE MAN HIGH LANDS SEC. 4 GIRRAC, REALTY EMERSON GARDENS REALTY CORP REZONING PROPOSAL CARRIAGE HOUSE Emerson Realty Corp. request for $2,257.70 reimburse- EMERSON GARDENS ment for the construction of Emerson Rd. from Maple St. to REALTY CORP - Station 5+70 southeasterly was reviewed by the Board and it EMERSON RU. was voted to recommend to the Selectmen that Emerson Realty Corp. be reimbursed by the amount requested.
