ANNUAL TOWN MEETING
Shepardson Hall, Junior High School
March 19, 1951
The meeting was called to order by the Moderator, Charles P. Howard at 7:45 p.m.
The new Town Meeting Members were requested to stand and be sworn to office by the Town Moderator.
The Warrant was partially read by the Town Clerk when on motion of Charles E. Wilkinson, it was voted to dispense with the further read- ing of the Warrant except for the Constable's Return, which was then read by the Town Clerk.
Article 2. The following report was read by Mrs. Nelson Bishop: March 19, 1951
The committee appointed to make a study and resurvey of the Zoning By-Law and Building Code have nothing further to report at this meeting. Due to resignations this committee has failed to function during the past year.
On motion of Kenneth C. Latham, it was voted that the report be accepted.
Article 2. The following report was read by Harold F. Davis: REPORT OF COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO STUDY SUITABLE MEMOR- IAL TO WORLD WAR II VETERANS, UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, SPECIAL TOWN MEETING, SEPT. 11, 1950.
Robert G. Clinch, Harold F. Davis, George R. Dunn, Alden Goldsmith and William J. Tighe were appointed to serve on this committee. At the first meeting of the committee, Harold F. Davis was elected chair- man and Alden Goldsmith, secretary.
24
It is the unanimous recommendation of this committee that the con- tinued study of a suitable memorial for World War II Veterans be authorized, with its report to be made at the Annual Town Meeting to be held in March 1952.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD F. DAVIS,
Chairman
On motion of Kenneth C. Latham, it was voted that this report be accepted.
Article 2. The following report was read by Charles Wilson:
Final Report and Recommendation of the Planning Board on the Proposed Amendments to the Zoning By-Law and Zoning Map rendered in accordance with Section 27 of Chapter 40 of the General Laws, as amended.
Two proposals are being presented to the Town Meeting for con- sideration.
First: As a result of the construction of the new state highway commonly known as Route 128 a small arca of land now zoned partly for residential purposes and partly for retail business has been some- what changed in character. That portion presently zoned for residential use is, by reason of the new highway, now less desirable for that use.
To meet the changed conditions it is proposed to create a new retail business district to be known as Business "C" which provides for a depth of 200 feet (or 50 feet more than the present business districts on South Main Street), a building-line set-back of 50 feet and prohibits residential uses in the district.
In the opinion of the Planning Board retail business and residential uses are not compatible and that a depth of 200 feet is necessary for proper development of the district.
Second: Due to the relocation of the town boundary line between the towns of Lynnfield and Reading, as authorized by Chapter 243 of the Acts of 1947, an area of land easterly of Haverhill Street which was acquired from the town of Lynnfield is at present unzoned. Nearly all of this land is owned by the Commonwealth as part of the State Rifle Range. The balance of the area is undeveloped and contains no resi- dents. This area is commonly known as Cedar Swamp. As the char- acter of the land is generally similar to the adjacent Residence A3 District the Planning Board has proposed that the said Residence A3 District be extended to include the said unzoned area.
A public hearing was held by the Planning Board on March 6, 1951 after due notice published in the February 15, 1951 issue of the Reading Chronicle. No opposition was expressed at this hearing to either pro- posal.
25
The Planning Board has voted unanimously to recommend the en- actment of the amendments as set forth in detail in Articles 36 and 37 of the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting to be held on March 19, 1951.
