PLANNING BOARD MEETING February 28, 1966 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was held in its office, Town Office Building, on Monday, February 28, 1966. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Campbell at 7:30 p.m. with members Bryson, Greeley and Riffin, Planning Director Zaleski, and Town Engineer Carroll present. The question of street assessments on Middleby Rd. was discussed briefly, Mr. Carroll suggesting that any departure from the standard assessment policy would create a bad precedent. Mr. Carroll also pointed out that the extra construction on Middleby Rd. is not paid for by abuttors, since the town only assesses a net $10 per front foot regardless of the higher actual cost plus $1.00 per foot of sidewalk. The Board agreed to support the accept- ance of Middleby Rd. The preliminary subdivision plan of land owned by Green and White off Mason St. was reviewed by the Board and the Town Engineer. The Board and Mr. Carroll agreed to eliminate Emerson Rd. from the subdivision and from Wilson's Farm. The Board also agreed to request that 100 ft. wide strip adjacent to Cane and West land be reserved, ' 50 ft. for town -owned part and 50 ft. as conservation ease- ment. The town engineer and the planning director will study the alternatives for Emerson Rd. between Massachusetts Ave. and Rte. 2 and the Board will at a later date publish its stand and recommendation on this in the form of a policy statement. Plan with Form A was submitted by Mr. Harold C. Wilson as follows: #66-3, submitted February 28, 1966 by Harold C. Wilson; plan entitled "A Subdivision of Land Court Case No. 9475 Land in Lexington, Mass.", dated Feb. 28, 1966, Miller & Nylander, C.E.'s & Surveyors. The Board reviewed the plan and voted to endorse it as not requiring approval under the Subdivision Control Law, with a notation to the effect that the remaining land marked "Harold C. Wilson et ux" does not have street frontage re- quired by the Lexington Zoning By -Law. The Minutes of meetings of February 14 and 21,1966, were reviewed and approved.
