Although the Planning Board had previously withdrawn this section
the opinion of all psosent seemed to be that it is wiser to retain
it, that immediate protection may be had throughout the town.

The lateness of the hour prevented a lengthy consideration
of the Zoning Map.
All present seemed to feel# however, that in fairness to the
poop le who had built their homes on the Fast Lexington hills, the
entire stretch of territory from the Arlington,line proposed by the
minority members ,for manufacturing purposes could not be agreed to;
and all felt that a tract of land 300 fact in width along the Easter-
ly side of the tracks, from a`point opposite bottler Ave. and eaten•
4dag to a point 2000 feet N. W. ofthe East Lexington station would
for a long time to corns afford sufficient territory in this section
'
for manufactures. The termination of this territory is about 1000
feet back from Maple Ste and at the beginning of the high land.
The members had no great objection to a manufacturing area
in North Lexington as proposed by the minority members.
As to the Business Sections in East Lexington no definite
conclusions were reached.
V
IF
In North Lexington it appeared wise to allow a business strip
on the opposite side of Bedford Ste from the Carbarns, to the,
Coal Yard; and also to extend the strip on the Easterly side to
include all of the Burrill property.
At Mr. McIntosh's suggestion it was agreed to transfer his
satire development, formerly a R2 zone, to the white Rl district.
The assignment of additional R2 districts involves so many
considerations of the character of the future growth of the various
sections that the.members seemed to feel unanimously that this had
best be left to future determination by these sections when the
n eed for such assignment becomes more apparent
Meeting adjourned at 12/15.
