Board was held in its office in the Town Office
Building, on Monday, January 7, 1963 at 7:40 p.m.
Present were Chairman Grindle, members Campbells
Mabee and Meyer, and Mr. Snow,PPlanning Director.
Mr. Chester A. Lidberg of 92 Adams Street
met with the Board to exhibit a proposed lotting
plan of a portion of his land and to ask the Board's
opinion of this plan with reference to the plan of
May 3, 1962s prepared in final form by the Town
Engineer and showing the proposed location of Emer-
son Road across Mr. Li.dberg's land. (See minutes of
Planning Board meeting of May 14, 1962.)
Mr. Lidberg's plan showed three potential

located; a second, on which the Lidberg barn is
located and which would front on Emerson Road and
combine parts of the lands of John W. Castoldi and
Lidberg; and another, at the corner of Adams
' Street and the proposed location of Emerson Road.
It was decided that if Mr. Lidberg presented a
final plan of a lot with his house on it as shown
on his proposed lotting plan, the Board would en-
dorse the plan as not requiring approval.

for Lob B for the future location of 7herson Road
as shown on the plan noted above (see minutes of

At 8:30 p.m. Mr. Meyer represented the T'lan-
ning Board at the Board of Selectmen meeting at
which time Mr. Wheeler of the Spring Street Trust,
a subsidiary of Cabot, C --bot and Forbes, presented
a proposal in regard to the location problems for
an office building on C 3 district land at the
northeasterly= quadrant of the proposed Route 2 -Spring
Street interchange. (See minutes of Selectmen's meet-
ing of January 7, 1963 for details of Mr. Wheeler's
presentation of this matter.)
The Chairman called the Board's attention to
three other zoning proposals which had been discussed
informally with him and which he understood were to
be presented formally to the Town. One nronosal was
that of Mark Moore, Jr. who wished to have rezoned as
a C 1 district a lot he owned at the northerly quad-
rant of the Bedford Street-Larchmont Lane -Reed Street
Intersections and to amend the uses In a C 1 district
to allow apartment houses in C 1 districts.
A second prorosal was that of Niles Co.,Inc.,
real estate managers, to rezone the Whalen land
fronting on Worthen Road for an apartment district.
Mr. Grindle reported that Mr. Charles H. Cole, II was
architect for the project and had a first refusal
from Mrs. Whalen for purchase of her land for this
nurpose. Tt was reported that some change of zoning
might be needed because it was desired to erect on
the land one three-story apartment building in addi-
tion to two other buildings of the garden apartment
type.
The third proposal was one in which Mr. Edward
T. Martin, as attorney for Arthur J. Thyng, was in-
terested. Mr. Martin informed Mr. Grindle that the
Nordblom Co. of Boston had options to acquire the
Thyng, Busa and Venuti pronerties between Marrett Road
and Lincoln Street with the intent of having these
properties rezoned for commercial use. Tt was under-
stood that T?r. Martin intended to present formally
such a proposal to the Planning Board and the Town..
