The following report was read by Charles Wilson Final Report and Recommendation of the Planning Board on the Pro- posed Amendments to the Zoning By-Law and Zoning Map rendered in ac- cordance 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 kn.ovn as Roue 128 a small area of land now zoned partly for residential purposes and partly for retAll business has been somewhat changed in character. That portion presently zoned for residential useis, by reason of the new highway, now less desirable for that use. To meet the changed conditions it is proposed to create a new re- tail business district to be known. as Business "C" which provides for a depth of 200 feet (ear 50 feet more than the present business dis- tricts on South Main. Street), a building-line set-back of 50 feet and prohibits residential usesin the district. In the opinion of the Planning Board retail business and resi- dential 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 Lynnfie ld and .Reading, as authorized by Chapter 245 of the Acts of 1947, an area of land-easterly of Haverhill Street which was acquired from the town of Lynnf ield is at present unzoned. Nearly 274 Annual Town. Meeting March 19, 1951 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 residents. This area is c ornmonly known as Cedar Swamp. As the character of tl 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 proposal. The Planning; Board has voted unanimously to recommend the enact- ment of the amendments as set forth in detail in Articles 36 and 37 of the Warrant for the Annual.
