TOWN OF NORWELL
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts TOWN OF NORWELL Warrant for Special Town Meeting
Plymouth, ss.
To either of the Constables of the Town of Norwell, in said County of Plymouth and Commonwealth of Massachusetts Greetings:
In the name of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, you are hereby directed to notify and warn the inhabitants of the Town of Norwell, quali- fied to vote in elections and Town affairs, to meet at the Cushing Memorial Town Hall in said Norwell, on Monday, the Third day of December, 1951 at 7:30 p. m. then and there to act upon the following articles, to wit:
Article 1. To determine whether the town will transfer the sum of three thousand dollars ($3,000.00), or such amount as may be determined at the meeting, from the surplus of the Jacob Lake Shores appropriation, (originally $28,000.), for the purpose of developing test wells, to determine if and where an adequate water supply exists to supply the needs of the town if and when the water mains are extended, or act on anything rela- tive thereto.
The Advisory Board recommends that the town approve this transfer.
Article 2. To determine whether the town will transfer the sum of three thousand dollars ($3,000.00), or such amount as may be determined at the meeting, from the surplus of the Jacob Lake Shores appropriation, (originally $28,000.), for laying water mains (approximately 600 feet) on Main Street between the High and Elementary Schools, or act on anything relative thereto.
The Advisory Board recommends that the town approve this transfer.
Article 3. To see if the town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of six hundred fifty dollars ($650.00), to be added to the amount raised and appropriated at the Annual Meeting on March 5, 1951, for the purchase of a sand spreader, or act on anything relative thereto.
The Advisory Board recommends this action.
Article 4. To see if the town will vote to reimburse Robert T. Ridder for damage to his water system and well caused by salt in the town sand pile and raise and appropriate the sum of two thousand five hundred dol- lars ($2500.00) for the same, or act on anything relative thereto.
The Advisory Board recommends this action.
Article 5. To see if the town will vote to instruct the Selectmen to appoint two persons and vote to instruct the School Committee to appoint two persons, who with the School Committee shall be a committee to study the school housing situation and bring in a recommendation at the Annual Meeting in March 1952 as to the advisability of an addition to either of the present school buildings, or act on anything relative thereto.
Article 6. To hear the Zoning Committee report on proposed Zoning By-Law of the town, and take such action as the town may deem advisable.
Article 7. To see if the town will vote to adopt the following by-law as it is printed or with such additions or alterations as may be properly made, or act on anything relative thereto.
REPORT OF THE ZONING BOARD
To the Citizens of Norwell:
Authority of the Board
At the adjourned Town Meeting, held March 20, 1950, under Article 32 of the Warrant of 1950, the following vote was passed:
Voted: That the Selectmen be instructed to appoint a committee to act as a Zoning Board in accordance with Chapter 40, Section 27, of the
98
ONE-HUNDRED-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
General Laws as amended, and that said Zoning Board be requested to hold hearings on Zoning for the Town of Norwell, and to present a pro- posed By-Law with respect thereto, if they see fit, together with their re- port and recommendations, to the next annual Town Meeting or to any special Town Meeting held for that purpose.
Appointment of the Board
On April 28, 1950, the Selectmen appointed the following members to the board:
William Hills, Sr.
Harry L. Chase, Jr.
Herbert A. Lincoln
Gordon E. Copeland
Richard D. McMullan
Peirce Fuller
Frank L. Sweetser, Jr.
James P. Hall
Margaret G. Reeser
Mr. Hall was unable to serve and Alan H. Hakanson was appointed in his place.
During the course of the following year Mr. Copeland and Mr. Lincoln both found it necessary to resign from the Board and Alfred Howes and Loring Wadsworth were appointed in their places.
Meetings
The first meeting of the Board was called by the Selectmen on June 16, 1950. Peirce Fuller was elected Chairman and Margaret G. Reeser Clerk. The Board voted to meet in the Town Hall and to have all of its meetings open to the public.
In all, the Board has held 36 meetings which have been devoted to:
1. A general study of Sections 25 to 30B, inclusive, of Chapter 40 of the General Laws hereinafter called the "Enabling Act;"
2. A study of the present uses of land and buildings in Norwell;
3. A consideration of the probable future development of Norwell;
4. Discussion of features of Zoning which would appear desirable for Norwell;
5. Discussion of the proposed By-Law, with special emphasis on the intent and the effect of the various provisions;
6. Preparation for the public hearing required by law and for the special Town Meeting at which the proposed By-Law will be pre- sented to the Town;
7. Preparation of this report and the recommendation of the Board, as required by the vote of the Town.
The General Purpose of the Proposed By-Law
The general purpose of the proposed By-Law is to provide protection to the inhabitants of the Town, not restriction; and to provide for the orderly expansion of the Town, not to hamper its growth.
The most obvious need, judging from past experience, appeared to be some restriction on the size of lot to be used for residential purposes in the future. Two types of problems were outstanding: those arising from individual wells and cesspools and those arising in connection with unac- cepted streets. As to the latter kind, experience indicated that public ac- ceptance of private lanes tended to aggravate the problems of small lots with small setbacks, because such private lanes usually must be substan- tially widened before acceptance, thus diminishing setbacks even more.
With these facts in mind, the Board unanimously agreed on two dif- ferent sizes of lots, the smaller size to be applicable where there was ade- quate frontage on a public way, and the larger where there was lesser frontage or none at all on a public way. If, in the future, the Town should appoint a Planning Board authorized to require plans of proposed develop- ments to be submitted for approval, and bonds to ensure the adequate and proper completion of streets in such developments, this multiple lot size may not be necessary. However, since there is no Planning Board in Nor- well and apparently none immediately contemplated, multiple lot sizes seem a wise provision for the present.
99
TOWN OF NORWELL
Lot sizes, frontages and set-backs included in the proposed By-Law appear to the Board to be in line with the general needs and general aver- age of the Town, keeping in mind particularly that in Norwell there are at present but few areas where parallel streets are close together.
After considerable discussion, the Board came to the conclusion that adequate protection for the individual citizens necessitated some restric- tions on the continued expansion of some kinds of businesses in areas which were primarily residential and in those which appeared to be best adapted for residential use. Accordingly, and in keeping with the present distribution and kinds of business enterprises in Norwell, the following pro- visions were incorporated in the proposed By-Law:
1. That Washington Street, from town line to town line, be open generally for any type of business not hazardous or injurious to the community;
2. That the area around the Town Hall be open generally to retail business;
3. That the balance of the Town be open generally to the usual home industries, including the service businesses (such as electrcians, plumbers, painters, carpenters, etc.)
The Board feels that these provisions, especially those concerning the residential district, are extremely liberal, but are practical for the Town of Norwell, at least for some years to come. The Board further feels that the liberality of these provisions will prevent a recurrence of the difficulties experienced under Norwell's earlier Zoning By-Law.
Two other special provisions of the proposed By-Law are deserving of comment.
First, there is a section limiting the size and kinds of signs which may be erected in the residential area. The Town should understand that it does not have the right under a zoning by-law, or otherwise, to control the erection of billboards. However, the fact that certain areas of the Town are zoned for residence purposes can be expected to carry some weight with the Commonwealth's billboard authority.
Second, adequate off-street parking facilities are required in all dis- tricts. While this provision will not guarantee the end of obstruction of public ways by parked vehicles, it should make easier the enforcement of parking regulations which may be required in the future.
The other provisions of the proposed By-Law are concerned with the legal requirements of the "Enabling Act," enforcement, etc. Four things should be clearly understood in connection therewith:
1. Any present lawful use of land, even though prohibited by the By- Law, may be continued.
2. The Selectmen are charged with the responsibility of enforcing the By-Law.
3. The Board of Appeals may authorize variances to the By-Law in accordance with the provisions of the "Enabling Act."
4. The By-Law may be amended by the Town, but only by a two- thirds vote.
In connection with this fourth point, the Board has tried to make the pro- visions of the proposed By-Law so liberal that any amendments would be concerned with adding, rather than removing, restrictions.
General Comments
The proposed By-Law has been discussed with Town Counsel and has received his approval from the legal point of view.
Recommendation
The following recommendation is presented to the citizens of Norwell in accordance with the vote of the Town on March 20, 1950:
The Zoning Board recommends that the proposed Zoning By-Law (which follows) be accepted by the Town of Norwell.
