and future. We believe that the growth of the Town should follow a pattern consistent with good planning and not be dependent on the desires of people who are interested only in profit.


Unfortunately, on some occasions the recom- mendations of the Planning Board conflict with the desires of developers, and other individuals,

who have plans that will allow them to obtain the most profit from their investment, regardless of how adversely their plans may affect the other citizens of Lynnfield.


Article 13 of the March 1957 Warrant was for the purpose of rezoning a small area of land on Salem Street, adjacent to the site of the old South School, from a "Limited Business" to a "Resi- dential Zone." This area should be "Residential." It is zoned for "Limited Business" only because a small variety store had been located there for many years prior to the necessity of the Town's adopting adequate Zoning By-Laws. If this area were rezoned to "Residential", it would have no effect on the operation of the variety store by the present or future owners of the property "unless and until abandoned for a period of one year."


If the above area remains as a "Limited Busi- ness District", it can be used for any purpose per- mitted in this type of zone with an entirely in- adequate area and absolutely no provision for parking. The Planning Board regrets that the townspeople did not vote this particular article into existence.


The Planning Board believes that the Town should purchase or acquire several areas for Parks or Playgrounds in different sections of the Town before all of the possible areas are developed into


house lots. We do not believe that there is ade- quate land left for this purpose in some of the older sections, and strongly recommend that the articles proposed by the "Park and Playground Study Committee" in future Town Meeting War- rants be given the support of the voters. In this respect the Planning Board is actively working to procure for the Town, areas in various sub- divisions which would be suitable for parks and playgrounds.


The Planning Board has inspected several of the paths and lanes on which some homes have been and are being built and believes that for the safety and convenience of the people of Lynnfield, action should be taken to prevent additional build- ing permits to be issued on ways that can never be made into adequate width streets.


In this respect, the board presented Article 14 in the March 1957 Town Warrant with this in mind. The townspeople subsequently voted this article. However, the Attorney General was forced to disapprove this particular article be- cause at the present time, the Planning Board has no jurisdiction over the construction of individual dwellings.


We have had representation at most of the "Board of Appeals" hearings. At these hearings we have generally objected to the granting of


50


variances from the Zoning By-Laws. In every case we have specifically stated the reasons why we do not believe a variance is justified. The Planning Board does not believe that the mistakes of past years should be perpetuated. Permits should not be issued to build houses on lots with insufficient area to take care of the sewage prob- lem, particularly in areas already overcrowded. Permits should not be issued for homes to be built on narrow ways that can never be made into streets sufficiently wide for safety.


The Planning Board is unanimously in favor of the Women's Club project of procuring certain low and swampy land in the marshy areas of the town for the establishment of a Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary. The board feels very strongly in the matter and has promised its active support to the project.


In October the Planning Board was moved to its new unfinished quarters on the second floor of the Town Hall. During the winter months, the Planning Board will continue to meet in the


Selectmen's office because of incomplete facilities in its new quarters.


Mr. James E. Bagley, Jr. was elected for a 5 year term on the board and Mr. Alexander Simp- son, Jr. for the remaining 3 years of Mr. Theodore N. Ferren's 5 year term.


Mr. Colby L. Burbank, Jr. was unanimously elected Chairman, Mr. Franklin R. D'Entremont, Vice Chairman, and Mr. Alexander Simpson, Jr., Clerk.


The Planning Board granted 6 requests for sub- divisions consisting of 47 house lots and 4,735 feet of streets.


Respectfully submitted,
