A. Miller & W. C. Nylander showing lots on Hartwell Ave. does not require approval under the Subdivision Control Law. The plan was so endorsed by the Board. The chairman of the Board read a letter from Joseph Napoli regarding the proposed location of the lots on Middle St. The chairman sug- gested the planning director prepare a letter to Mr. Napoli enclosing a Form A application form and suggesting the Board is prepared to endorse a plan showing 14 lots having the required frontage on Marrett Rd. and Middle St. and the required area, provided that 125 feet frontage is left on Middle St. for the interior land remaining. The Planning Board would like to discuss the layout of the interior lots ' and street prior to submission under Subdivision Control Law. It was suggested also that the sketch layout of the subdivision prepared by the planning director be enclosed for Mr. Napoli's consideration. Robert Carrig met with the Board at 8:00 p.m. regarding the lots at 44 Tarbell Ave. for which J. H. Wichmann had submitted a plan on June 16, 1969, for the Board's endorsement as not requiring approval under the Subdivision Control Law. After a brief discussion of the five lots involved, the chairman suggested Mr. Carrig confer with the Town Counsel concerning the matter. Next considered were the Drummer Boy lots on Winter St. which are part of a PUD defined under the terms of a special permit. Therefore, the Board, after consultation with Town Counsel, is of the opinion that these lots do require approval under the Subdivision Control Law and a plan for the entire PUD should be submitted. Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board VOTED: That the plan entitled: "Plan of Land in Lexington, Mass.", dated June 25, 1969, by Joseph W. Moore Co. Inc., showing lots on Winter St. does require approval under the Subdivision Control Law. The planning director was asked to notify the Oneida Corporation of the Board's decision.
