Mrs.Blaine Tenney
Mrs.Tenney, 2030 Massachusetts Avenue, Ioxi.ngton, is about to acquire
some property on Massachusetts Avenue opposite the foot of Charles Street.
She proposes to erect thereon a colonial type apartment house. The Planning
Board indicated that they would look favorably on the proposition and gave
her forms and instructions. They suggested it might be best for her to ask
for establishment of a CI .lone.
Concord Turnpike
The Board met with the Selectmen to consider future policies regard-
ing service roads and related matters on the Concord Turnpike,
The Selectmen had tended to favor a planted strip between the turn-
pike and the first row of houses with a service road beyond the houses.
The Planning Board gave reasons for preferring service roads adjacent
to the turnpike. The Selectmen, after some discussion, finally said that
they were willing to follow the lead of the Planning Board in this matter.
Mr.Paxton suggested that any service roads should have a 40 -foot right of
way even if only 20 feet were used. This would permit the road to conform
better to contours and provide for improved appearance. He said this policy
might be a little more expensive for all parties but did not consider this a
governing factor.
Mr.Paxton suggested that the Planning Board prepare some sort of a
master plan of the Concord Turnpike with proposed service roads, etc. The
Planning Board discussed this matter afterward and agreed to do this.

the purpose of making a trip to various proposed school sites.
Carleton W.Patriauin
The Board appropriated $5 to purchase aerial pictures of the town
center from Mr.Patriquin.
