A meeting of the Planning, Beard was held on 'Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Town Hall, there being present Messrs. Emery, L.S. and W.D. Brown of the Board, with Mr. Hartman and Mr. Duffy. BUILDING LWN COMMITTEE Mr. Castanae of the Committee on Revision of Town Building Laws calls up to say that although that Committee has held its last meeting, it will be glad to consider any *atter that the Planning Board may want included. TOWN ZING Mr. Emery states that the Selectmen desire the. Special Town Meeting to be called for February 18th, and that they wish too Include in the warrant other matters than zoning. Mr. Hartman reports that he understands the Attorney..General prefers Zoning to be considered in a meeting called solely for that purpose,: but inquiry at his office discloses that no ruling to this effect has ever been made. NO ADDITION TONDEFINITIONS Mr. Hartman's Revised By-Laws are then taken up and con- sideration is given the suggestion of Mr. Sohn Fox that to the definitions set forth should be added something to the effect that: "reference is made to the Building Laws of the Town for any neces- sary definitions not above covered." It seemed best to the Board, however, to avoid tying up the Zoning By-Laws to the Building Laws, and as all appeared clear as written, there seemed no reason. for following out this suggestion, and the definitions stand as written. MANUFACTURING ZONE A letter from Mr. Bassett reviewing the proposed draft ad- vises the inclusion of a small manufacturing section as a measure of safety. This feeling having also been brought out at the hearings and elsewhere, the Board decides to add such a section to be listed and described as follows: M I • Light manufacturing, employing electricity for a motive power, utilizing hand labor and/or quiet machinery and processes, free from neighborhood disturbing odors and/or agencies and em- ploying not more than twenty employees, in any singe and segre- gated building unit, is permitted within any manufacturing zone It was decided also to set aside for the purpose of light .s ~q -' i. 1 l'''t .`4a ' rj #y t37,17, ,f Vf4'trtf`p f meq:: '.�y S -., ,y 4 "v- 4 '4.

Ballard that a map should be prepared and sent out with the notiees and By-I,aws, and reports of his willingness to assume the expense thereof;; and, 41 Mr. Duffy stating it was possible to prepare such a map in the time at hand, it was voted so to do; the various zones being heavily outlined and indicated each by its proper symbol, after the style of the Brookline Map. BUSINESS ZONES AT INTERSECTIONS Yr. Bassett advises in reference to suggested treatment of business zones at intersections that he doubts if Zoning Ordinances can so take over the land for the necessary set-backs with .no claims for damages on the part of owners. SET...BACKS In reference to the set..backs suggested for building lines under Section 21, the Board, after considering similar provisions in other ordinances, decides to retain the set-back of 20 ft. previously agreed upon. LETTER FROM MR. FOX Mr. Hartman reads full letter received from Mr. John Fox reviewing the tentative draft and with suggestions and criticisms. BY..LAWS The By.Laws were then taken up Section by section.

Mr. Vienot has agreed to print the necessary 2500 copies for $100.00. At the regular Planning Board Meeting, February 11th, the final draft of the $y-Laws: the introductory notice which the Board has approved as to its general lines and which Mr, Emery will have completed at that time; as well as the map which Mr. Duffy will have completed, can be given final examination -and approval. CONCORD HILL BUSINESS IZONE Further consideration was given the business zone allotted the Concord Hill -District, and in so much as no accurate determin- ation can be made at this time as tea the line of development in this area, it was agreed to leave the store which for the present serves the community sufficiently well, as anon-conforming build- ing" with the idea that when the need for a business zone arises its proper location can be determined with better judgment.
