The evidence introduced at the three hearings (O'Connell, Peterson and Cutler) held September 17th was reviewed and dis- cussed. Minutes and reports bearing on Mr. O'Connell's past petitions were scrutinized and while it was recognized that conditions had changed in respect to the probability of an over- pass at this point, they had also changed in respect to the near- by property through the shift from a C-1 to an R-1 District. Seven vacant stores a few blocks away was sufficient evidence that further business areas were not required and it was D. J. Voted:- That the Planning Board does not support Mr. O'Connell's O'Conne petition to amend the Zoning By -Law and Map and that adverse 11 action be recommended to the Town Meeting. Since no evidence had been introduced at the hearings which had not been considered in the preparation of the general report to the Town, the Board found no reason to change its views as expressed in that report and therefore voted: - 1. That the Planning Board does not support Mr. Peterson's Eric petition to amend the Zoning By -Law and Map and that Peterson adverse action be recommended to the Town Meeting. 2. That the Planning Board does not support Mrs Cutler's petition to amend the Zoning By -Law and Map, Mrs. and that adverse action be recommended to the Town Cutler Meeting. A general discussion of the points to be covered in the specific reports was held and I4r. Borden and Mr. Kimball were delegated to draw up drafts to be considered at an informal meeting to be held Sunday afternoon. The meeting adjourned at 6:00 P. M. Note:- An informal meeting was held Sunday afternoon and final drafts were prepared and approved, Mr. Borden partici- pating in the report on Mr. Childs' petition. Respectfully submitted, Clerk 1
