r May 22, 1967 Appropriation Committee meeting cont. Art. 10 — Bedford Sewer. There will be just one sewer Article. $28,000 additional is to be requested. Available balance is 1159,000, making $187,000 total needed. Bedford is supposed to reimburse us for part of this. How much has not yet been determined. Lexington must appropriate the total amount first. Appropriation Committee will ask about possibility of using part of the $250,000 general sewer appropriation made in March Art. 13 Emerson Road — Roland Greeley, chairman of Planning Board, came to discuss this Article. Art. 57 of March T.M. anticipated taking the property and deferring construction. Mr. Legro informed them that they couldn't lay out the road until they were planning to construct. Therefore that Article was indefinitely postponed. Now this Article includes laying out and constructing. $5,000 or $6,000 will be needed for the 410 feet of right of way, and about ; 20,000 will be needed for construction. Total request will be $26,000. This will open up 1 lot at the most. There is no subdivision; therefore construction has to be done at Town expense. Planning Board favors construction because it will connect the subdivision now built in the back of this piece to Adams St, and it will make a direct access from Adams St. to aillards Woods, which is now of limited use to the whole town because of its single access off North St. Planning Board thinks this road will work; opponents say it won't because (1) traffic is not enough to justify its construction or (2) they fear the increased traffic. Lidberg has agreed to sell the piece of land for $5,000 but has included some provisions which Planning Board cannot ask Town to accept; therefore eminent domain procedure may be used. Land has been appraised for $3600. Sanitary Land Fill — Selectmen have given DeMatteo permission to bring fill from Mystic River dredging to Town dump. Don Grant asked what effect this might have on the rate at which the dump will be filled. He was told that this fill is intended to be used as cover, to replace the cover the Town must sometimes buy, and will not affect the dump life. It can be stockpiled in a corner and used as needed. If it works on Hartwell Ave. dump, Selectmen may permit it to be used us fill on Lincoln St. area. Warrant has been signed by Selectmen tonight. They have omitted the Comptroller's Article. Appropriation Committee will discuss study committee suggestion with them after June T.M. Respectfully submitted, Ruth F. Souza, secretary
