' January 25, 1965
The Lexington Planning Board held a regular meeting in
its office, Town Office Building, on Monday, January 25, 1965•
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Bryson at 7:35 p.m.
with members Campbell, Meyer and Riffin, and planning director
Zaleski present.
Mr. Zaleski reported on his meeting with Mr. Brinkers
of Metcalf and Eddy. Mr. Bryson said that he was contacted by
the Capital Expenditures Committee and that a meeting will be
held in the Planning Board office on Friday, January 29, 1965
at 8:00 p.m. with the Capital Expenditures Committee and
Messrs. Woglom and Brinkers of Metcalf & Eddy.
The question of Mass. Ave. widening was taken up and
various members spoke in opposition to any significant con-
cession as regards apartments in Hunt and Central blocks,
since the previous arrangements involved the fair price of the
land and the apartments are in addition to it.
The minutes of the Planning Board meeting of January 18,
1965 were approved.
The Board then went on to discuss the draft of the
articles amending lot and yard regulations in C 1 districts.
At 8:35 the Board attended a joint executive session
with the Selectmen in their office. The discussion about
the apartments in C 2 district and the additional payment to
the owners of Hunt and Central blocks was concluded at 9:50
and the members of the Board returned to their office and re-
sumed the meeting.
It was a concensus of opinion that articles dealing
with C 1 use, lot and building regulations should be post -
pond. It was decided to move the hearings from February 11,
1965 to February 15, 1965.
Planning director's memo of 12.16.196h regarding the
use of Northeastern University students on cooperative plan
was discussed next. It was decided to take no action.
The preliminary sketches for the development of Fuller
Hill area, if rezoned, were presented to the Board by the
Planning Director and reviewed. The Board felt that a conser-
vation easement and building placement such that roofs would
not be visible from the easterly side of the hill, would be
desirable.
