PLANNING BOARD MEETING
November 22, 1965
A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board
was held in its office, Town Office Building, on Monday,
November 22, 1965. The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Bryson at 8:00 p.m. with Members Campbell, Fowle,
Greeley and Riffin and Planning Director Zaleski present.
Mrs. Relman met with the Board relative to the
questionnaire for the Community Attitude Survey. A draft COMMUNITY
of the questionnaire was discussed and several minor ATTITUDE
changes recommended. It was decided to submit a draft of SURVEY
the questionnaire to the members of citizens study com-
mittees on a trial basis and make further amendments as a
result of the trial.
Atty. Donald Sleeper and Mr. Spagnuola met with
the Board next regarding the development of the Kingston
Homes subdivision. Mr. Sleeper explained that the
builders who were supposed to buy lots from Kingston Homes
went into bankruptcy and that Kingston Homes (Mr. Spagnuola)
will be building the houses. Because of this, Kingston
Homes would like an extension of time within which they
would have to complete the second exit from the subdivi-
sion via Carnegie Place. It was tentatively agreed that
upon furnishing by Kingston Homes of an adequate bond, the
Board would agree to extend the time within which a reason-
ably passable connection be made between the end of exist-
ing pavement in Ingleside Rd. and Maple St. via Carnegie
Place to June 30, 1966. Such connection would be provided
by a graded, gravelled and rolled road. Until such con-
nection will be completed, no houses shall be built beyond
the end of the existing paved road. Mr. Sleeper offered
to meet with the Board on November 29 and present a
draft of an agreement for such extension.
Mr. Kula and a group of residents met with the
Board and explained that Mr. Hines would give the town
some park land south of the Woodhaven subdivision if the
town were to rezone his land along Hayden Ave. to C 3. Mr.
Kula explained what he considered to be the advantages of
such arrangement as an alternate to rezoning Fuller Hill
off Rte. 128 south of Rte. 2. A general discussion fol-
lowed. The Board decided to take the matter under advise-
ment and notify the residents of the Board's recommenda-
tions.
