TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
The Board of Trustees has continued to give the citizens of Lynn- field as good and efficient a library service as the limited budget permitted.
It is their constant endeavor to maintain the standards of the Library on the highest possible plane, placing on the shelves the best of the current literature as well as maintaining many of the classics for which there still is a demand. Both Libraries also are maintaining an excellent children's department.
The Trustees feel that the Town is exceptionally fortunate in having two such efficient Librarians to serve them. These ladies are putting their entire hearts into their work, performing many little services in addition to their regular tasks for which they receive no compensation, but which go a long way towards making our Library a success.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM W. GRACE,
MALCOLM C. EATON,
RUDOLF P. SCHLENKER,
Board of Library Trustees.

REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
The Lynnfield Planning Board herewith submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1940. This completes eleven years since our Zoning By-Law was adopted. The experience during this time, and the physical condition of the Town have proven its value, and the
90
TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
growth anticipated in the immediate future will make this By-Law more important than ever before.
During the past year the Inspector of Buildings has received 103 applications for building permits of all kinds, the value of residential buildings being only $270,500.
One change has been made in the Zoning By-Law during the past year, when, on receipt of a petition signed by 104 voters of the Town, the Planning Board held a Public Hearing on changing the present Zoning By-Law by eliminating paragraph "D" of Section 2-to wit:
"No lot on which a building is to be erected or altered for use as a dwelling shall be less than five thousand square feet in area."
and substituting therefor the following paragraph:
"No dwelling shall be erected or placed on a lot unless the lot has a street frontage of at least 80 feet upon the frontage or way, public or private, and an area of at least 10,000 square feet; provided, that in cases where substantial injury will not be done to surrounding property the Board of Appeals may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 30, Chapter 40, of the General Laws, permit the erection or placing of a dwelling on any lot heretofore laid out which does not at the time this para- graph is adopted comply with the foregoing minimum require- ments. No lot with a building thereon shall be changed in size so as to violate the provisions of this paragraph, and no lot area or frontage shall at any time be considered as the required area frontage for more than one building."
At a special Town Meeting this was amended to 100 feet frontage, and carried as amended, but was rejected by the Attorney General because the frontage was changed from 80 to 100 feet. The Attorney General held that had we advertised the change as 100 feet we might have had more opposition. The Planning Board again advertised a Public Hearing, this time changing the advertisement to 100 feet front- age. No opposition was made at the Hearing and at a following Town Meeting it was voted. At the present time we have not heard from the Attorney General, after reporting to him on the second Meeting.
The installation of a water system in the Centre has made this change very important for the future welfare of the Town. The ex- pected growth can be controlled, and overcrowding limited. Ten thou- sand feet of land is none too much where cesspools are relied upon, and will postpone the day when a public sewer system will be a Town project.
The Planning Board has been active in trying to remove the bill- boards on Broadway (the Turnpike), Lynnfield. These advertising signs are a violation of the Zoning By-Law, and they further violate
91
REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
the Rules and Regulations for the Control and Restriction of Bill- boards, Signs and Other Advertising Devices, as issued by the Public Works Department of the Commonwealth under date of January 24, 1924. In this effort the Planning Board took pictures of these signs and measured the distance from them to the Turnpike. These pictures and measurements were presented to the Commissioners of the Depart- ment of Public Works by the Massachusetts Civic League in their cam- paign to rid the State of illegal signs. The League furnished the Attorney to handle the matter. The evidence furnished by the Planning Board was duplicated by Mrs. Lillian Badger, Secretary of the South Lynnfield Garden Club, and Mrs. Lawrence Coolidge of Hamilton. This evidence from three separate sources established its accuracy.
At the present time the Public Works Commissioners have granted the renewal permit for two of these signs. These two are license numbers 1369 and 1273. On four others the Commissioners disapproved of issuing licenses and the advertising companies operating them have appealed to the Commissioners for another hearing. In these cases one of the Commissioners must view the signs before the second hearing can be held.
Strout and Wing have erected a sign off Main Street, near Essex Street, which is a violation of the Zoning By-Law.
There are several violations of the Zoning By-Law other than the signs mentioned above, but the Planning Board can do nothing except report its knowledge of them,-viz .:
A small factory erected on the Barton property on Essex Street, Centre, which is a residential zone.
The Cox property on Summer Street, Centre, which has been changed from a single to a four-family residence. The zone limits the . number of families in one house to two.
The Allen property at the junction of Summer and Walnut Streets has been altered from two to three families, where the limit is two families.
The Village Press is being printed off Salem Street, Lynnfield, in a residential district, which is also a violation.
The Planning Board in Lynnfield was established and still is func- tioning under the provisions of the original planning enabling legislation, enacted in 1913, which gave to Planning Boards recommendatory powers only.
The Town now has the opportunity, as has been done in 59 other communities throughout the State, of accepting the provisions of Chapter 211 of the Acts of 1936 known as "an Improved Method of Municipal Planning."
This Act requires that a Planning Board make studies, when neces- sary, prepare plans of the resources, possibilities and needs of the town
92
TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
and report on the same with recommendations to the Town Meeting. In this connection, a board is required to make a master or study plan, which consists of one or more maps and accompanying data showing all existing and proposed public facilities and areas in the Town. This master plan is a general guide for the future, but it is not a final plan in the sense that it would fix locations for all time. It may be changed or modified as conditions in and about the community change. Its greatest value is to develop and demonstrate the inter- relations of the various planning proposals, and thereby assure the community that nothing need be embarked upon without realizing all the consequences. The master plan also facilitates the formation of a long term program of public expenditure which will save the Town money, as improvements which are made according to a definite pattern and program are generally more economical than those which are not co-ordinated or planned in advance.
The second function and duty of a Planning Board established under the provision of this Act is to pass upon the design and location of all subdivisions of real estate in the Town. The Board may require such provision of street development and utilities as will justify the sub- division and the issuance of a Performance Bond for the same. It may require, in proper cases, park or parks suitably located for recreation purposes. This control will prevent overcrowding, safeguard natural beauty, and assure a well-ordered system of roads and utilities. Such well designed sub-divisions represent an increase in the taxable value of a community, while those improperly designed and serviced often mean a loss of taxable value.
The broad purpose of the Act, therefore, is to permit a community to make a definite program so that both private real estate developers and public town officials shall have a concrete plan on which to work. Essentially the Planning Board takes over all phases of the planning function, strengthens it, and concentrates it in one place. Whatever costs may be involved will be returned to the Town many times over in de- creased costs of future public works and in the value accruing from the wise use of the Town's natural resources.
As one benefit to be pointed out is, that-at the present time several roads are being laid out from Main Street, each one is built to serve only the needs of the developer. In time we may have twenty or more streets from Main and Chestnut Streets and none of them connecting, making it still necessary for vehicular traffic and the Fire Department to go around as they do now. One prospective street should be planned to go through from Main to Chestnut Streets, and we have selected Carter Road as the one that may be built at the least cost. Consideration should be given to the possibility of extending Crest Road into the Pond Section. This would tend to make the Pond
93
REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
Section more desirable for year round residential use, and save vehicular traffic and the Fire Department one mile.
Co-operating with the Commissioners of the Lynnfield Centre Water District, the future needs of the entire Town have been con- sidered. A supply of water has been obtained that will care for the entire Town, and a ten-inch pipe has been laid on Summer Street, so that an adequate supply can be furnished to the Lynnfield District if and when they deem it advisable to purchase water from the Center District, or when the bonds of both Districts are paid, both Districts can be turned over to the Town.
The Center Water District also has purchased twenty-seven acres of land around the wells, which will be kept in its natural beauty, protect the wells from pollution, and secure for the Town, how- ever rapid its growth, one breathing space. An acre has been purchased on which the water tank stands, and this land will be landscaped in harmony with the surrounding area and always kept open. This was accomplished by having a member on both the Planning Board and the Board of Water Commissioners. If the Town had accepted Chapter 211 this would not have been left to chance.
The Planning Board thanks the Massachusetts Civic League for the assistance rendered on the billboard cases, and the State Planning Board for the assistance given by its Chairman, Miss Elizabeth M. Herlihy, and also the officials of the Town of Lynnfield for their co-operation.
Respectfully,
LOUIS B. TUCK, Chairman Lynnfield Planning Board.
