LEXINGTON, MASS.
Town Hall October 19,1925.
Present: Messrs. Emery, Tilton, Worthen, Duffy and Town Engineer French.
Messrs. Pichette and Ahern presented plans of Joseph Road
East Lexington for approval. The Board voted to approve a sketch
plan prepared at the meeting and signed by the :Town Engineer, said
plan amending the plan of the petitioners so as to provide for a
future road crossing the railroad and also for an extension northwesterly
to the Burns land adjoining, -minor adjustments and exchange of
lands being necessary between petitioners and one Kennedy to provide
for a desirable approach at this latter extension. The petitioners
agreed to negotiate with Miss(?) Kennedy to perfect the plan,- minor
changes in radii of curves and engineering details to be permitted
in accordance with the Town Engineer's directions. Formal hearing
is to be held by Board of Survey October 20 next, and Mr. Emery
agreed to represent the Planning Board at the hearing.
A plan was presented showing a projected street called
Blake Avenue from Edgwood Road on land of Blake. The plan being
substantially different from a general plan of this locality approved
by the Planning Board in the past and no provision being made for
rounding the corner of said street with Edgewood Road at land of
Earle, the Board voted not to approve the layout and to request
the petitioner Mr. Wadman to furnish more data with respect to
trees, etc, so that the possibility of a locstion more in harmony
with that which the Board formerly approved, may be studied.
Mr. Emery reported the result of conferences with Messrs.
Ryder and Aldrich with reference to lands abutting the playground
areas.
Discussion was had as to the feasibility of delegating
certain of the Board's activities to sub -committees, in the hope
that minor details may consume less time at regulator meeting,
and that the Board may devote more time to broader policies, such
as major thoroughfares, building lines, etc.
Meeting adjourned at 10.30 to Monday October 26 at 8 P.M.
J. H. Duffy, Clerk.
