Lexington, Mass.
December 2, 1929.
Present: Emery, Glynn, Higgins of Town Engineerts Dept., Mr.
Duffy was with us part time.
Five Forks:
At a final discussion the Planning Board voted to recommend
to the Board of Survey that the triangle of land be retained and
not thrown into a highway, and furthermore that the Town negotiate
with the owner Mr. R..P. Elliott for the purchase of the triangular
plot as indicated by a plan which will be prepared by the Town
engineer to illustrate suggestions of Planning Board, and bring out
the treatment of Five Forks Junction as thought out by said Board.
Rough sketch is also sent Board of Survey showing what Planning
Board at first had in mind. This sketch shows the elimination of
the triangular piece of land and the elimination of the northerly
fork of Lincoln Road. After studying this layout at several meetings
the Board felt that the curb lines would be too far apart and that
this condition would offer too great a risk to pedestrians wishing
to cross this junction.
Hinchey Road:
The Planning Board voted to recommend for approval by the
Board of Survey the layout of Hinchey Road as shown on a plan
entitled "Plan and Profile of Hinchey Road at Lexington, 3/1928,
F. P. Cutter, C. E., scale Hor. 40, Vert. 6," except that the
southwesterly and of said Road be considered by the Town Engineer
and determined if it be left in such direction as will permit of
its ultimate proper extension when required.
Massachusetts Fed. of Planning Boards:
Voted: that yearly dues of $15, be at once sent to the
State organization instead of waiting for January 1, bill. Mr,
Emery to take care of this matter,
