Wednesday, March 30, 1955
Present: Adams - Orindle, Hathaway, Irwin, Jaquith - Snow
The meting was called to order at 7:45 otclock. In the absence
of Mr, Abbott, We Jaquith was elected clerk pro -tem,
The situation on the parking proposal was reviewed. Two are in
favor and willing to go along at the 50¢ rate -Lexington Savings Bank and
Manhattan Builders. Manhattan Builders will also give an exit on Bussey
St. Aie, Smith will do business if .his price is met - $1..30 per ft, The
Telephone Company is adamant on portion next to new building and would ask
80-900 per ft, on the 6000 ft, they would give up. Daosy, Runt, MacKay,
Lyons, and Belly are not interested. This means that the proposal cannot
be handled by negotiation but the land must be taken by eminent domain.
$123000 would ewe -out of parking meters and the rest be borrowed, The
Board definitely felt that its viewpoint should be presented at town.mest-
ing so town meeting members will know that the matter has been carefully
considered, and that it had been expected that the landowners would show
more cooperation since they are the ones who would be the principle bens"
factors,
Under the circumstances it is advisable to have an outside
' appraiser cense in and make an accurate appraisal of the value which the
town would have to pay, A vote will show whether the tows members are iu-
terested in the plan, and if so a postponement will allow time for the
valuation and further study to be made for presentation at the next town
meeting. If the town meeting members are not interested then the entire
plan can be dropped before going to the expense of having an appraiser
cams in, It was decided to have Mr, Stevens draw up an alternative mo-
tion to authorise the Planning Board to main this study. It was also de-
cided that Mr, Snow should draw up basic facts on the parking area for
presentation, together with slides showing the first and second plans,
giving the advantages and objections to each.
