Discussion was chiefly on the proposed
division of the zoning by-law, particularly on the
limitation of individual lot sizes. Mr. Emery
stressed the necessity for putting the amendments
of the zoning law in shape for a town meeting to
be held in November. It was proposed to amend the
law to read to the effect that in all land hereafter
'
laid out, each lot shall have a seventy foot frontage
on the highway and an area of not less than 7000 sq,
ft., also that a side yard of not less than 10 ft.
be required on each side of house and that a rear
yard of not less than 30 ft. be provided, not over
30 per cent of which may be covered with accessory
buildings. Mr. Duffy was quite insistent in his
argument for a greater depth, but others present
regarded 7000 ft. as the maximum in the way of a
limitation which it would be expedient to try to
secure.
W. D. Milne,
Clerk.
