The Board decided not to write to the Board of Survey approv-
ing a plot plan for Follen Hill Estates (letters dated February 6, 7
and 15 from the .Board of Survey and the selectmen covering this subject

Massachusetts which had been sent by . .darker. Mr. rarker expresses
his willingness to help Lexington in regard to programing. The letter
and the report were placed on file. It was decided to advise Mr. Parker

Parker's services.

W.C.O.P.
The Board of Appeals is to conduct a hearing on February 23
to consider the matter of varying the application of the zoning law
in connection with the establishment of a radio broadcast station
on the Concord Turnpike. The consensus of opinion of the Planning
Board was as follows :
The Planning Board can see no evident harm in permitting
W.C..O.P. to erect a station in accordance with the plans
that are being considered. The Planning Board has not
studied the plans in detail and reserves a right to change
its opinion if it later appears that erection of the station
would be disadvantageous to the town
