A regular meeting of the Planning Board was held on
Monday, January 26, 1942 at the Town Office Buildings Messrs.
Greeley, Ellis, Kimball, Worthen and Newhall were present.
The minutes of the previous meeting were approved.
Mr. Kimball stated that a hearing would not be necessary Zoning
in connection with the proposed change relative to the rein- Law
troduction of the same amendment within a period of two years Changes
since it concerns compliance with an enabling act.
The hearings for other proposed amendments will be held
as follows:
7:45 p.m. Friday, February 13th. Increase of number of associate
members of the Board of Appeals from two to four.
(Section 16).
8:00 p.m. Friday, February 13th. Change of west side of Massa-
chusetts Avenue, Winthrop Road to Thivie rge Property
from Cl to Rl district.(Section 3(b) Paragraph 8)
At the suggestion of the Town Engineer, Mr. Cosgrove, an amend-
ment will be introduced at the same time for the purpose of
changing the wording of Section 3 (b) Paragraph 7, so that the
compass directions and descriptions will conform with those
used in connection with the entire length of Mass. Avenue.
A letter was drafted to the Board of Assessors asking them to
write us stating that the zone in question is now valued as
residential and not as business, for use if necessary on the
Town Meeting floor as well as at the hearing.
The Board noted that in cases of land parcels subdivided Simonds
under a tax lien, the signatures required by the Land Court
Farm
fort he sale of the property are those of the Board of Survey
and not of the Planning Board, as far as the present local
law goes. This refers to plans submitted on September 16,
1940 and December 29, 1941 relative.to lots in the Simonds
Farm property which were approved by the Planning Board.
A discussion relative to side yards resulted in the
Zoning
proposal that another hearing be held Friday, February 27th,
Law
and that the proper form of amendment be drafted and pre-
Changes
sented at the next meeting.
