lf. G.Potter
Yx.Potter came in about a problem with lot 13, 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
Mr.Cromwell read the preliminary draft for the Annual Town Re-
port of the Planning Board.
ning_ By-law Cha
19r.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 1W ft. frontage, this was felt to be a legal ques-
tion. M?.Burns called attention to Y 5.52 and it will be changed. Keep-
ing of one 2 -family zone was suggested. idr.Blackwell presented suggested
forms for articles in the Warrant. Article on time for .Appeals was dis-
cussed and held over.
Street Widening
Pdr.Ripley moved and Mr.lorthen 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 Mazrett 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.
