PLANNING BOARD MEETING IApril 6, 1967 A special meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was held in its office, Town Office Building, on Thursday, April 6, 1967. The meeting was called to order by Chair- man Greeley at 7:30 p.m. with members Fowls, Lund, Riffin and Worrell, and Planning Director Zaleski present. Drafts of Articles A through M prepared by the Planning Director were reviewed. It was decided to substitute for Article A (re- ART. A zoning of Wallis Ct. to C 1) an article requiring parking PARKING on the lot in C 2 districts, except for districts in the center adequately served by town parking lots. Article B (funeral homes in R 1 subject to insti- ART. B tutional requirements) was retained with the understand- FUNERAL HOMES ing that funeral homes will only be permitted on major streets in accordance with a list to be prepared by the Planning Board. Article C (rezoning of Seth land at Worthen Rd. ART. C ' to a combined CS -C4 district) was rejected; some members of the Board recommending that the land be acquired for town purposes and others favoring rezoning to apartments as less inappropriate than C 4. The Board decided to study Article D (Planned ART. D Unit Development) at greater length. Article E (consolidation of CS and C4 districts) ART. E was rejected. The Board agreed to substitute an article CS -C4 which would provide less stringent area and frontage re- quirements for CS districts. On Article F (rezoning of Haney -Stevens, K of C, ART. F etc. land) the Board adopted Mrs. Riffin's recommendation BEDFORD ST that the front portion of this land be kept as C 1 and the rear portion rezoned to CS.
