i 1 1 PLANNING BOARD MEETING April 17, 1967 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was held in its office, Town Office Building, on Monday, April 17, 1967. The meeting was called to order by Chair- man Greeley at 7:30 p.m. with members Fowle, Lund, Riffin and Worrell, and Planning Director Zaleski present. The Board accepted the definitive subdivision plan Birch Hill Estates, dated March 16, 1967, and set the date of public hearing for May 15, 1967. Minutes of Planning Board meeting of April 10, 1967 were read and approved as amended. Letter to the Board of Appeals relative to the pro- posed "cluster" development off East St. by Todd Realty, Inc. was read, discussed and approved with modifications. Mr. MacLeod met with the Board to propose the rezon- ing of more land at Countryside on Woburn St. to C 1 so as to permit the addition of a dry-cleaning establishment and the development of a parking lot in the rear, eliminating the present unsightly boarded -up excavation. Mr. MacLeod suggested that if this rezoning were initiated by the Planning Board, it would permit a thorough discussion of the problem by the Town Meeting. The Board was of the opinion that such rezoning would more properly be initiated by a citizens' petition after a study to explore all aspects of the situation. BIRCH HILL EST.
