F. L. INNIS (DAVIS ICE 00.) PETITION
A letter from the Selectmen was read, relative to a petition from
Mr. F. L. Innis of the A. G. Davis Ice Companjr, asking that the area
upon which their property is located, Grant Street, be changed from
a 0-1 to an M-1 District, so that the company would be permitted to
operate an ice -manufacturing plant. The letter stated that the matter
had been brought before the Board of Appeals, and a hearing held; but
the latter had declined to allow the installation of machinery in the
present zone. A check for $20.00 payable to the Town was attached to
the letter, as required when such a petition is presented.
A letter to Mr. Innis was dictated, informing him that he must ob-
tain the signatures of the owners of 50% in valuation of the property
within the following area, in favor of his petition:
Both sides of Massachusetts Ave., from Muzzey Street to
Winthrop Road.
Waltham Street, to Vine Brook Road.
All of Vine Brook Road, Fletcher Avenue, Sherman Street,
and Sheridan Street.
Grant Street, from Massachusetts Ave. to Hayes Lane.
Oakland Street, from Meriam St. to Chandler St.
All of Stetson Street.
The above area was considered likely to be affected by the pro-
posed change, with respect to noise, eto., incidental to the operation
of an
ice
producer.
Mr. Innis
was also asked to designate the boun-
daries
of
the land,he
wisheedto

PRINTED FORM8 FOR PETITIONS
It was suggested that the Planning Board should have some sort
of printed or mimeographed form, for the use of petitioners, so that
petitions will come to the Board with all the necessary information
as required by the By-law. It was decided that Mr. Wrightington
should be asked to draw up proper forms or blanks.
CLERK
Mr, Robinson requested that he be allowed to resign as Clerk
of the Board, because from March first until June he is unable to
devote sufficient time to that work, to keep.the records up to date.
It was the opinion of the Board, however, that he ought to continue
as Clerk and do the best he could under the circumstances.
ZONE FOR LIMITED APARTMENTS
' The proposed amendment to the By-law providing for an R-3 Zone
in which limited -Apartment buildings can be erected, was discussed
and the tentative draft corrected. Mr. Milne proposed a re -draft
of Sections 6 and 7, and his changes were adopted. The secretary
was instructed to rewrite the proposed amendment according to this
latest draft, sending copies to the members of the Board for final
study. If there are to be no further changes, a copy will be sent
to Mr. Greeley to ascertain if he can meet with the provisions of
the amendment in constructing his proposed new building.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:10 o'clock until
Tuesday, May 9, at 7:145 P, M,
