Board Opposes Proposed Plan For Service Station in New Area
The Acton Planning Board on Tuesday night opposed a plan to place a Tasty Freese Shell Service Station and Brewers Warehouse on a site adjoining the Gleslee subdivision. Officials cited existing encumbrances and past rulings against service stations in the shopping center area. A parallel service road concept was reviewed and rejected, maintaining the original denial. Sid Ellen sought zoning clarifications on his property while Eisen sought more building space for his store. The board approved a 1000 square foot expansion for the second store and allowed EL Ruddy sign company to replace a panel sign with removal required within 10 days if notified by the Planning Board, valid through the end of 1957.
