PLANNING BOARD MEET
Ab
A. meeting of the Planning. Board was held at the Town Hill
on Friday evening, Nov. 29th at 8 o'clock there being present
Messrs. Emery, L. S. SOF. D. Brown, together with Mr. Daffy Of the
Engineering Department and Mr. Hartman.
The latter two gentlemen having prepared a map showing the
various uses to which property has been put and the distribution of
same throughout the town, the attention of the meeting was given
to a reconsideration of the zones tentatively agreed upon at the
meeting of November 10th.
With the following exceptions they seemed logioal and wise;
a. "Lowell and Woburn Streets, 200 ft. from their
intersection."
b. "Lincoln Street and State Road, 300 feet from the
intersection of same."'
c. "Waltham Street at State Road, southerly from State
Road on both sides of Waltham Street for 250 ft.
d. "Waltham Street, junction of Concord Avenue,
250 feet from intersection."
To avoid congestion of through traffic at these points when
business buildings should later be erected, it was agreed that some
system of set-•backs should be arranged for. Owing to the con
ditions it was found impossible to devise a formula applicable to
all, and it wan decided to have prepared for the next meeting plans
showing the proper treatment of each of the above intersections;
these plane when adopted to form part of the zoning regulations.
It was further decided to reduce from 250 to 200 the allotted
zone under Item e.
e. "Bedford Street at North Lexington, easterly side
commencing with property of the Street Railway Company
and northerly to point where Railway Rightyof• Way
returns to Bedford Street. Easterly side from
B. & M. R. R. north, including property of the Lex•
ington Coal Company."
