MEETING -O THE PL&)flame BOARD
, DeO. 7, 1923.
A meeting of the Planning Board was held at' the Town Hall on
411 Friday evening, December 7th at 7t45 o'clock, there being. present
Messrs. Emery, L. S. & W. D. Brown, T)r.. Tilton, as well as Mr. Hart-
man and. Mr. Duffy.
The matter of setbacks in connection with the property onnthe
corner of brass. Avenue and Muzzey Street was discussed with Messrs.
Clapp & Pierce to whom it was made clear that that the only set-back
asked for in this connection was that of 20 feet on Muzzey Street.
Reports were received in connection with- the building line
petitions that with two exceptions the signatures of every property
owner had been obtained along Mass. Avenue from Nunn's Corner to
Woburn Street and 75% of those from Bow Street up; and that prac•
tically 75% of such signatures had been obtained along Bedford Street.
In regard to Hancock Street it seemed apparent that some modi-
fication should be made in the building line as originally laid down
for the westerly side, and it was decided to hold up the obtaining
of signatures along this street until the matter could be given
I
further consideration..
Attention was then given the zoning map prepared by Mr. Hartman
and Mr. Duffy. Owing to the physical character of the properties
it had seemed wise to them to amend the lines of two of the business
zones decided upon at the last meeting by limiting the extent of the
zone at the beginning of Mass. Avenue from the Town Line to one lot
above Sylvia Street and by omitting the property at North Lexington
),Ing between Sunny Knoll Street and the R.R. Station.
It appeared, that only one percent of the dwellings, in the town
consisted of superimposed double houses and that of a -large number
of extensive land owners none were in favor of allowing this class
of buildings on their properties.
The result of the engineer's studies of set-backs at intersecting
thoroughfares were examined and discussed and it was felt these
should be given further careful study.
With the exception of these intersections the plan as a whole
met wth the approval of the Board, and it was decided to oali a
hearing next Friday evening, December 14th for consideration by the
41 property owners therein of that portion of the town Wag to the
north of Adams and Hancocks Streets; Elm Avenue, and that portion
of Mass. Avenue from Elm Avenue to the Concord line.
A rough draft of the proposed notice to be sent by mail was
read and approved.
Meeting adjourned at 10:15 o'clock.
I Willard D. Brown,
Secretary.
