Copies of the engineer's complete report on the Vine Brook drainage and development project was received. Copies were given to Messrs. ,Duffy, Cutler and Milne for further review. W. D. Milne, Clerk. 11 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. 11
