May 1, 1925.
Town Hall.
Present; Chairman Emery, Messrs. Tilton, Worthen, Duffy,
Glynn, Milne, and C. B. French, Town Engineer.
Park Area.
Plans by Arthur A. Shurtleff showing scheme for
marginal roads in the Park area off Waltham Street and in
the vicinity of the Pageant grounds were reviewed and met
with general favor.
H. M. Aldrich was present and stated that the general
scheme in so far as it affected his properties was acceptable
to him, especially the plan for dual roadway along Vine Brook
both east and west of Waltham Street.
Wilson Avenue.
'rKen appeared J. A. Wilson of Wilson Ave. East
Lexington, with C. J. Henrich and two others. Their plea
was for the Board to approve an amendment to the Zoning
By-law to permit two family houses to be built in the area
comprising the J. A. Wilson property of 14J acres lying
south easterly from Wilson Avenue to the Arlington town line.
It was represented that the property was to be sold, and
unless the restrictions were removed to serve as an induce-
ment to high grade builders, the property would be likely
to fall into the hands of parties who would develop it in a
manner unfavorable to the town and local interests.
After consideration the Board unanimously voted
not to favor the desired change in the By-law and the clerk
was instructed to draft a letter to J. A. Wilson apprising
him of this action.
Meeting adjourned at 10.30 P.M.
Wm. D. Milne,
clerk.
