' TOWN HALL
Lexington, Mass.
October 26, 1925.
Present: Mr. Emery, Chairman, Dr. J. 0. Tilton, Messrs. J.H.
Duffy, W. D. Milne, C. B. French, Town Engineer.
Henry C. Rowland of Arlington, appeared with Tebbets,
Building Inspector, presenting matters pertaining to lot and
street development in property off Massachusetts Ave. between
Slocum Road and Bloomfield St. He was urged to make allowances
for a street development that could be acceptable to the town.
He was asked to cooperate with the Town Engineer and appear at
the next meeting with plan and sufficient data for the whole
area between Massachusetts Ave., Slocum Road, and Bloomfield
St. so that the Planning Board might intelligently discuss the
proposition and a suitable street location be found. He agreed
to do this.
Mr. Wadman appeared with further reference to the Blake
Ave.' development. There was a long discussion of the iniquities
of departing from plans previously agreed upon by the Planning
Board and all interested parties in this neighborhood, and
proceeding on plans of a nature wholly unacceptable to the
public interest without consulting either the Planning Board
or the Board of Survey.
The plan for the Blake Ave. (Wadman development) as
prepared by Engineer Cutter was discarded, and a more suitable
street location was shown. Engineer French agreed to work
out the details and submit a suitable plan at meeting November
2, preparatory to the Board of Survey hearing on this matter
set for November 3.
One Dreselley, erecting a house on lot in former
Merriam land on line of proposed Blake Ave. location was advised
to suspend building operations until line of proposed street
was fixed by the Board of Survey.
It was suggested that Engineer Cutter be warned to
govern himself by Planning Board proposals in street matters and
not to proceed to suit his own or his client's fancy without
consulting with the Board'where studies had been made.
Meeting adjourned at 10 P.M. till Monday November 2,1925.
W. D. Milne, Clerk.
