ANNUAL REPORTS


"Planning Progress", prepared during late 1952, was pub- lished early in 1953, and served as the basis upon which other studies were initiated. At the request of your Honorable Body, preliminary investigations were made into the Zoning problem and problems related to the recreation plant of the City were studied in detail, resulting in the publication of a report "Recreation" late in the year. A copy of this report is attached for your official records.


An intensive study of the Zoning problem got under way in October, and the Board has directed the Staff to review it from all angles. We have had occasion to report some of our findings to your Honorable Body from time to time, as requested, in special cases. It is our feeling that a special committee or some appropriate standing committee of your Honorable Body might find it desirable to meet with this Board or its staff in the development of more detailed aspects of the problem.


The Staff has been keeping in touch with the Highway Programs of the State and Metropolitan District Commission, to be sure that the best interests of Somerville are considered in the planning execution of their work.


Our study program for 1954 currently includes, besides the Zoning Study, more precise studies of specific recreation areas with the Recreation Commission, the preparation of Neighborhood plans for one or more areas in order that Somer- ville may be ready to participate in any State and Federal Aid programs which may develop in this field. Study and liaison work as is necessary in connection with the Highway programs will be continued. In addition, we stand ready to carry out such other studies as your Honorable Body should request.


Respectfully submitted,


HARRY P. BURDEN, Chairman SOMERVILLE PLANNING BOARD
