Present: Adams, Crrindle, Hathaway, Irwin, Jaquith, Ripley.
Meeting opened at 8:00 o'clock. Since Mr. Adams was not present, Mr.
Irwin was unanimously elected to serve as Chairman pro -tem. The record of
the previous meeting was read and approved. Mr. Adams appeared at 8:15
o'clock.
Mr. William Potter was present for informal discussion. He suggested
that since some streets, such as Walnut street, are of varying widths, the
required 30' setback results in an insufficient set -back in some instances
when new roads are built. He suggests that the law be amended to require a
50' set -back from the center of the traveled way. He also suggests that in
the issuing of building permits, approval be required from a certified civil
engineer since in some instances it has been found that bounds shown on a
plan are not true. sir. Irwin stated that the new Building By-laws are taking
care of this situation. Mr. Potter also stated that in his opinion the park-
ing lot proposal should appear on the coming Town Warrant, as he believes the
situation will soon get out of hand and it will be too late to do anything
about it.
Informal discussion followed on M-1 zoning. It was decided that Mr.
' Adams would contact Cabot, Cabot & Forbes and have a representative present
for discussion at the meeting on Monday, Feb. 21. In the event that this
is t comren. nt for them, Mr. Jaquith will contact a representative of
the adley Co.
It was also decided to have Mr. Snow analyze the By-law on 11-1 zoning,
Section 8-e, and if possible draw up a rough draft of up-to-date restrictions
to be submitted to the Board prior to the March Town Meeting.
