PLANNING BOARD MEETING
April 17, 1967
A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board
was held in its office, Town Office Building, on Monday,
April 17, 1967. The meeting was called to order by Chair-
man Greeley at 7:30 p.m. with members Fowle, Lund, Riffin
and Worrell, and Planning Director Zaleski present.
The Board accepted the definitive subdivision plan
Birch Hill Estates, dated March 16, 1967, and set the date
of public hearing for May 15, 1967.
Minutes of Planning Board meeting of April 10, 1967
were read and approved as amended.
Letter to the Board of Appeals relative to the pro-
posed "cluster" development off East St. by Todd Realty,
Inc. was read, discussed and approved with modifications.
Mr. MacLeod met with the Board to propose the rezon-
ing of more land at Countryside on Woburn St. to C 1 so as
to permit the addition of a dry-cleaning establishment and
the development of a parking lot in the rear, eliminating
the present unsightly boarded -up excavation. Mr. MacLeod
suggested that if this rezoning were initiated by the
Planning Board, it would permit a thorough discussion of the
problem by the Town Meeting. The Board was of the opinion
that such rezoning would more properly be initiated by a
citizens' petition after a study to explore all aspects of
the situation.
