Six Moon Hill.Inc.
The Board considered a proposed subdivision in East Lexington of which Six
Moon Hill,Inc. is to be the developer. I3r.John C.Harkness, Mr.Leonard J.Currie
and others were present. These individuals are principals of the developer cor-
poration and members of Architects Collaborative. This site is on either side of
a new road connecting with the westerly end of Fern Street. The plan was dated
March 29,1947 and revised as of April 7,1947. Miller & Nylander are engineers.
The Board approved the layout subject to provision for a turnaround on the
northerly end of the short section of road which runs at right angles to the pro-
posed new main road.
Ridge Construction Comnany,Inc.
Lr.Everett M.Brooks, Civil Engineer, of Newtonville, represented the above
developer. The proposed development is on both sides of the Concord Turnpike ad-
joining the Arlington line.
The Board approved the layout subject to the following: the engineer was
asked if the Board had any preference as to whether to extend Golden Avenue, Arl-
ington (a 40-foot street) across the property in a westerly direction or to make
a connection with Bowman Avenue. The latter connection would require a deep cut
to provide a 10% grade.
The Board expressed no preference, believing that either plan was satis-
factory from its viewpoint provided a turnaround were made at the end of Golden
Street if this were projected instead of being connected with Bowman Avenue.
The plan was marked: "Proposed Subdivision of Land in Lexington, Massa-
chusetts, Scale 1 inch equals 50 feet, March 31, 1947, Everett M. Brooks
Company, Civil Engineers.

Lexington-Lincoln Line over the Concord Highway to the Lexington-Arlington Line in
both directions, (2) from the corner of Marrett Road and Lincoln Street, over Lin-
coln Street to Middle Street to Marrett Road in both directions.

granting the permit and to advise the Selectmen of this decision.
