In regard to the petition of William E. Fitzgerald
for permission to have a trailer on his land as a temporary
office -residence pending completion of a house, it was de-
cided to write a letter --as was done on January 17, 1956 in
regard to a similar case --stating the Planning Board oppo-
sition to permitting house trailers in Lexington and to the
granting of the petition. It was decided also to include a
statement in regard to the status of the petitioner's sub-
division plan and his request to approve said plan on con-
dition that no building shall be erected or placed on any
lot until the required improvements necessary to serve ade-
quately such lots have been completed to the satisfaction of
the Planning Board.
After considering the James A. Carrig petition for
permission to use 40 acres of his land for a golf course and
accessory uses, it was decided to go on record as opposing
the granting of this petition and to write a letter to the
Board of Appeals setting forth the following reasons for the
Board's position in regard to the matter. The use of the
premises operated on a profit basis is not authorized in
residential areas under the Town's Zoning By -Law. There is
no known access on the property as shown on the map. The '
development would be a traffic hazard, create a nuisance,
impair the status of the neighborhood and have no sewerage
facilities available.
All details being in proper order, the Board endorsed
all the original sheets and prints on cloth of the following ADAMS
definitive subdivision plans: "Adams Estates, Section Two", ESTATES
dated Dec. 21, 1955; "Green Valley, Sec. 111, dated April 23, SEC..2
1956 and "Battle View Park, Sec. One", dated July 9, 1956.
In regard to the Green Valley subdivision, the name "Anthony GREEN
Road" was approved for one of the new streets shown on said VAILEY
plan. The name "Rumford Road" was also approved for the SEC. 1
new road in Battle View Park subdivision, said road to be
superimposed upon Fifth Street and to connect, when extended, BATTLE
to Laconia and Woburn Streets. r,= PARR
