A regular meeting of the Planning Board was held in
the Engineer's Room, Town Office Building on November 20,
1956 at 7:40 p.m. Present were Chairman Hathaway, Messrs.
Adams, Burnell, Grindle and Jaquith, the Planning Director
and secretary.
The following bills were presented for payment: BILLS
Graphic Reproduction, Inc., for white prints -48.58; Anne H.
Milliken, for secretarial services -45.00; Mary G. Campbell,
for secretarial services -420.00; Bruce E. Howlett, for pro-
fessional services -41.00.00.
It was moved, seconded, and unanimously voted that the
bills be paid as presented.
Read to the Board was Colonel Dunlop's letter of Novem-
ber 2 to the Selectmen in regard to the status of the proposed
Hanscom Field access road from Wood Street to Bedford Street.
The Colonel stated that the Air Force contemplated including
the project in the 1958 fiscal years access road program and
that it was his opinion that funds for the project would be
available shortly after July 1, 1957. With regard to the
possibility of development taking place along this proposed
road, the Board felt it must submit by January 1 a complete
proposal for light industry and special commercial re -zoning
for this and other areas of the Town.
The Board then considered one of its current problems,
that of scheduling this and other items of Planning with the
steadily increasing demands upon the time of the Planning
Director. In order to utilize to a greater degree his train-
ing and professional experience, it was decided to establish
definite office hours for the administrative work, post a
notice of the same on the office door, install an extension
telephone in the secretary's office so that she could handle
all incoming calls, and write a letter to all Town offices,
boards and other town groups concerned setting forth the
Boardts new office procedure and asking that all important
requests for Mr. Snow's services be arranged through the
Board.
The following Form A application was taken under con-
sideration of determination of Planning Board jurisdiction:
#56-97, submitted on November 15, 1956 by Brawn &
Brown, attorneys for Peter M. & Martin Semonian;
plan entitled 'Sub -Division Plan of Land in Lexing-
ton, Mass. (being a sub -division of lot shown on Ld.
Ct. Plan #4370A)", Scale: In = 601, dated Oct. 17,
1956, Joseph W. Moore, Reg. Land Surveyor, Bedford,
Mass.
