PLANNING BOARD MEETING
April 23, 1946
Present
Messrs. Worthen, Houdlette, Nickerson, Ferguson, Richards
and Cromwell.
H. A. Conant
Mr. Conant showed the Board a copy of the plan filed with
the Registry of Deeds on March 18, 1938 of his property on
Lincolh Street opposite the town dump and running back to the
standpipe lot.
The plan shown to the Board had certain alterations as
compared with the original. The proposed street was different and
the number of lots was greater. The original plan was marked, "To
be divided into lots of 79500 square feet with 75 foot frontage."
The Board told Mr. Conant that there was some question
as to whether any alterations in the original plan would be
permitted that did not put the entire plan in conformance with
present regulations as to lot size etc.
' The Board also pointed out to Mr. Conant that the cost of
the proposed street would be very large in comparison with the
apparent value of the lots. Mr. Conant agreed that further
study was necessary.
Lincoln & School Streets_
Mr. Potter. discussed with the Board the situation at the
junction of Lincoln & School Streets. A business zone at that
point is described as starting from the junction of these streets.
However, there is a paved road that cuts through the corner of
Lincoln and School. This has never been accepted by the town.
since it came into being gradually through public use. At present this
cutoff occupies a large part of the property apparently defined as
a business zone. The questions are: (1) Where is the junction
of the two roads? (2) Just where are the street lines in this
area? (3) What procedure is necessary to alter the business
done so it will be useful in conformity to the street lines.
Parking Lot
The parking lot question has been referred to the Board
for further study.
