PLANNING BOARD METING
September 7, 1965
A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was
held on Tuesday, September 7, 1965. The meeting was called
to order at 7:30 by Chairman Bryson with members Campbell,
Fowle, Greeley and Riffin, and planning director Zaleski
present. Mr. Zaleski informed the Board that a meeting of the
C.B.D. revitalization study group with the Selectmen and the
Planning Board is scheduled for Sept. 15, 1965 at 8:00 p.m.
tentatively at the Battle Green Inn, and a meeting relative to
Rte. 2 -Watertown St. interchange will be held at 8:00 p.m. in
the Selectmen's office on Sept. 71 1965. Mr. Greeley went to
attend the Rte. 2 meeting.
Mr. Antonio Busa met with the Board and requested that
the Board approve his Green Valley Section 7 subdivision on the
condition that lots 5, 6, and 7 therein be restricted for build-
ing or sale. The reasons for this are that Circle Rd. would be
constructed to the end of the subdivision as it is impractical
to construct all but a short portion of it, and the lots 5, 6,
and 7 would not be built on or sold until the previously laid
out portion of Circle Rd. would be _constructed. The road, all
utilities and a temporary turn -around will be constructed and
Mr. Busa would give the Town an agreement not to build on, sell
or excavate lots 5, 6, and 7. The chairman suggested that 650
ft. should be measured from the beginning of junction of Anthnny
Rd. and Lillian Rd. as determined by pervious boards. The Board
took Mr. Busa's request under advisement.
