I
June 26, 1967
A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was
held in its office, Town Office Building, on Monday, June 26,
1967. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Greeley
at 7:30 p.m. with members Fowle, Riffin and Worrell, and
Planning Director Zaleski present.
Minutes of Planning Board meeting of June 19 were
approved.

William Schreiber's petition for a frontage variance for the
lot at the northerly end of Turning Mill Rd. was read and
discussed, and pertinent Planning Board records, including
minutes of the Jan. 4, 1960 meeting and a plan endorsed by
the Board on January 11, 1960 with copy of a letter frau S.
Snow to the Building Inspector examined. It was decided to
acquaint Mr. Nickerson with the background of this case and
state that the Board has no objection to the granting of the
variance provided a condition be imposed and recorded to run
with the land and be binding on successors in title to the
effect that the approval by the Planning Board of a defini-
tive subdivision plan is a condition precedent to subdivid-
ing or selling any portion of this land or placing any more
buildings thereon.

was reviewed by members of the Board and Town Counsel's
letter of June 26, 1967 relative thereto read. The members
of the Board voted unanimously to withhold endorsement of the

division of.lots C and D without lot A.
