PLANNING BOARD MEETING
Tuesday, May 6, 1952
Present: Adams, Hathaway, Irwin, Potter, Ripley, Burns.
Meeting opened at 7:45 o'clock.
Lexington Construction Co.
Moved by Mr. Potter, seconded by Mr. Irwin that plans for extension
of Patterson Road as submitted at hearing of April 28th be approved. So
voted.
Carri
There was some discussion re the suggestions offered at the hearing
on April 28 -on petition of James A. Carrig for subdivision on Minute-YAn
Golf Course. It was unanimously decided that both the play area and the
strip of plantings were impractical. r&. Potter moved, Mr. Hathaway
seconded, that the plans be accepted as presented with the exception that
there should be a 20 -year deed restriction prohibiting driveways on Turn-
pike to apply to lots 22-26 inclusive. It was the feeling of the Board,
however, that a committee should be appointed to study that area of the
town with regard to schools, play areas, etc. before too much developing is
done.
Ridge Construction Co.
Moved by Mr,. Potter,_.seconded by Mr. Irwin that Ridge Construction
Co. be notified that the Lexington Planning Board rejects the proposed
layout of land on the northerly side of Concord Turnpike because the Board
feels that the entrance on the Turnpike of the proposed road is too great
a traffic hazard. This vote is taken regardless of the fact that the
State Traffic Dept. has granted permission, because it feels that a more
satisfactory solution can be worked out. Unanimously voted.
Caryl Realty Co._
It was voted to request Mr. Stevens to be present at the next Met-
ing on Monday night to discuss the legality of Mr. Cadario's construction
of two entrances on the Turnpike in spite of his agreement -not to do so;
also the question of water level in Hatch's Pond.
Simeone
Mr. Hathaway moved, Mr. Irwin seconded, that a tentative plan sub-
mitted by Mr. Simeone showing play area be rejected because of unsuit-
ability of land for purpose proposed. He is asked to have the lots join
each other. So voted.
Bill
Bill submitted by Hurray's for $48.65, seven cushions. Unanimously
voted the bill be paid.
Federal Housing
Mr. Adams announced that Mr. Potter, Mr. True of Concord, and he had
attended a meeting of Planning Boards with Mr. Crocker Snow of Federal
Housing in Boston. We now have 45 allocations; Mr. Charles McLaughlin hav-
ing bid for building on land off Marrett street. No more information is
available at present. Mr. Snow advised the towns to discourage residential
building too close to Airport and in paths of runways but rather to consider
rezoning such areas for light manufacturing.
Mr. Adams announced that the agenda for the next meeting would in-
clude the study of streets under Article 42.
Meeting adjourned at 10:15 P.M.
