This article proposes to change to a Residence District the land west of Cochituate Road between the B & M Railroad and Collins Market. This land is occupied by a dwelling and the B & M parking lot. This change is proposed with the objective of preserving the present attractive character of that part of Wayland Center.


The Finance Committee feels that the Town should be guided by the recommendations of the Planning Board.


Article 35. To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning By- Laws to make the provisions of the Site Plan Approval By-Law applicable to Roadside Business Districts.


26


The Planning Board advises the Finance Committee that this article proposes to require the approval of a site plan by the Zoning Board of Appeals prior to construction or enlargement of buildings in a Roadside Business District. Such approval, presently required for all other business and commercial districts, was inadvertently not included in the article under which the Site Plan Approval By- Law was adopted in 1954.


The Finance Committee feels that the Town should be guided by the recommendations of the Planning Board.


Article 36. To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning By- Laws as follows:


To change from a residential to a business district that portion of land bounded on the east by School Street, 118 feet, more or less; on the south by Commonwealth Road 194.62 feet, more or less; on the west by land of Waldo L. Lawrence, 190 feet, more or less; and on the north by East Plain Street, 230 feet, more or less; the en- tire parcel containing about 34,292 square feet and owned by Raphael P. and Ethel R. Porcella.


Substantially the same article was brought before the Town in 1952 at which time the petition to re-zone the area as a business district was rejected.


The Planning Board will have held a hearing and will make its own report at the time of the meeting.


The Finance Committee recommends that the Town be guided by the recommendations of the Planning Board.


Article 37. To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning By- Laws as follows:


To change from a residential to a business district that portion of land on Main Street in Cochituate, the southwesterly corner of which starts at the Hannah Williams Playground, thence runs northerly along Main Street for 165 feet to land of Charles F. Dean et als., thence easterly for 132 feet, thence southerly for 165 feet, thence westerly for 132 feet to the point of beginning, containing 21,780 square feet and owned by Blanche L. Holmes and Helen F. Wadland; to further state that, if the said land is so changed to be included as a business district, the present buildings standing there- on cannot be used for business purposes.


This article was inserted by a number of residents of the Town seeking to change from a residential to a business district a piece of land lying north of the Hannah Williams Playground on the east side of Main Street.


The Planning Board will have held hearings and will make its report on this matter at the Town meeting.


The Finance Committee recommends that the Town be guided by the recommendations of the Planning Board.

Article 38. To see what sum, if any, the Town will vote to transfer from available funds to meet any of the appropriations made under the foregoing articles.


The Finance Committee will make its recommendations on this article at the time of the meeting.


And you are required to serve this Warrant by posting copies thereof, attested by you, at the Town Hall, at each Post Office in Town and at the Legion Hall, in Cochituate, seven days, at least, before the time of holding said election.


Hereof fail not and make due return of this Warrant with your doings thereon to the Town Clerk on or before March 5, 1956.


Given under our hands and seal this sixth day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty-six.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE


The Finance Committee regularly reports to the Town on its use of the "Reserve Fund" for the previous year. The appropriation of $15,000 was expended as follows: Selectmen: Expense $520.92 - Civil Defense $2,741.82 - Town Offices: Expense $750.10 - Fire Dept .: Ex- pense $5,664.82 - Dutch Elm Disease $1,765.96 - Tax Title Expense $670.00-17 accounts of less than $500.00 each $2,701.92, leaving an unexpended balance of $184.46.


Because of the steady and very substantial increase in the Town's expenses, the Finance Committee feels that it ought to bring to the attention of the Town, a summary of the change, year by year. We are, therefore, printing again two tables, the first showing the total budget, exclusive of articles, with the increase over the prior year, and the second for comparable years, showing the School Budget and the in- crease over the prior year:

The articles in the 1956 Warrant, recommended by the Finance Committee and calling for expenditures are as follows:


Chapter 90 New Construction


$4,000


Commonwealth Road West - Toll Road - Drainage Repairs


8,000


Purchase - 4 pieces of property


3,500


Betterments


24,400


Acceptance


10


$39,910


Such amounts as will have been appropriated at the Special Town Meeting held on February 15, 1956 and at the Special Town Meeting on


29


March 7, 1956 which will not have otherwise been provided for by the Town will be charged against the 1956 rate, in addition to the budget and articles outlined above. The increase in the expenditures, both as provided for in the budget, in the articles and at the Special Meetings will inevitably bring a substantial increase in the tax rate for the year 1956. The Finance Committee sees no alternative, in view of the charac- ter of the expenditures.


Although the calculation of the tax rate is a complicated matter, the single largest source of additional revenue to the Town flows from the increase in the real estate assessed valuation. This comes about partly through revaluation of existing properties and partly through new assessment on new properties.


The following figures, showing the number of building permits and the increase in real estate assessed valuation in recent years, is, there- fore, of real interest.

The Finance Committee recommends that:


All employees in the Town Office Building, other than elected officals and those of the Police and Fire Departments, come under the super- vision of the Office Manager, and that he be charged with the operation of the Town Office Buildings and equipment;

The unexpended balances in the following accounts be transferred to "Excess and Deficiency :"

The Finance Committee is delighted to be able to tell the Town publicly that its officials and employees have as usual been reasonable in their requests and most helpful in furnishing information upon which the budget and article recommendations have been prepared.


The Finance Committee budget recommendations for the year 1956 are as set forth in the attached schedule.
