' January 11,1949
Present: Cromwell, Richards, Ripley, Adams, Burns, Worthen, Blackwell.
The records of the previous meeting were read and accepted.
W.G.Potter
Mr.Potter came in about a problem with lot ]3, block 91, on Reed
street. Between Orchard and Ash streets a paper street prevents reason-
able use of lot 13. The Board is tentatively in favor of abandoning this
unnamed street and town counsel will be contacted as to ways and means.
Annual Report
Er.Cromwell read the preliminary draft for the Annual Town Re-
port of the Planning Board.
Zoning By-law Chancre
Mr.Blackwell presented an "Outline for Comparison of Lexington
Zoning By-law." Lot coverage was suggested to be omitted. On combining
lots to make less than 100 ft. frontage, this was felt to be a legal ques-
tion. Mr.Burns called attention to P 5.52 and it will be changed. Keep-
' ing of one 2-family zone was suggested. Mr.Blackwell presented suggested
forms for articles in the Warrant. Article on time for Appeals was dis-
cussed and held over.
Street Widening
Mr.Ripley moved and Mr.Worthen seconded a motion to recommend to
the Selectmen that Burlington street from Hancock street to North Street;
North street from Burlington to Lowell street; School street from Massa-
chusetts avenue to Marrett road; Paul Revere road from Cedar street to
Massachusetts avenue be newly laid out and that the extension at Williams
road to Grove street be carefully considered as the best potential new
bus route. So voted.
Recreation Committee on North Lexington Playground Areg
Mr.Packard and Mr.Garrity came in from the Recreation Committee
for suggestions as to additional North Lexington playground area. The
Johnson land to the north-west of Parker School was suggested.
Schedule
Continued informal meetings were suggested and the formal hearing
will be March 9th.
Meeting adjourned at 11 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,'� /f
