Minutes for the Meeting of May 22, 1989 3 11� lot, containing a house, off Blake Road and the second lot off an extension of Eaton Road. Mr. Duffy reviewed the history, noting they had started with a three lot subdivision, but were unable to get sufficient legal frontage for a third lot off Blake Road. He noted the land contains 41,524 sq. ft. He added the paved road would be 24 feet wide, and approximately 170 feet long. The new lot will be serviced by existing utilities in Blake Road, consisting of a six inch sewer line, a storm drain designed to carry water runoff from the new extension of Eaton Road and underground electric service. He was informed that the Engineering Department will require the turn-around be paved, although he has proposed stone dust. In response to questions from Mr. Williams, Mr. Duffy stated that a pumping station would not be required since all sewer lines will be gravity flow. Mr. Duffy also reported that the two lots, owned by Mrs. Horowitz, across the street off the extension of Eaton Road, were currently unimproved lots. Mr. Bowyer added they would have to conform to today's zoning, once the extension is constructed, and would have to be combined to create one legal building lot, to conform, provided they have not previously been combined by use with the front lot off Blake Road. Mr. Sorensen agreed that neither of the existing lots have any grandfather status, and can not be considered as two lots for building purposes. Mr. Duffy reviewed the waivers he has requested: no sidewalks , no fire alarm circuit and a waiver from standard local street details. Mrs. Klauminzer thought they had agreed to a 22 foot wide paved roadway, and stated she preferred that width. Molly Martin, 38 Eaton Road, asked what the distance was between the end of the turn-around and the property line of the abuttors where there were trees to be protected. William Rabkin, 40 Wyman Road, said he lived on "down" side of the proposed development, and asked what regulations there were to control drainage from the new lot. Mr. Sorensen answered the "Development Regulations" say that the runoff can not be increased by any development; that their engineer will calculate the runoff due to the added impervious surface of the house, drive- way and road, and subtract the runoff taken off by the storm drains, and the end result can not be greater than existing runoff. Esther Belcher, 65 Williams Road, had questions about the proposed easement across the existing property off Blake to carry utility lines to the new lot. In response to her question about the possibility of a third lot being created in the future, Mr. Williams said it could not be done. Mrs. Linda Horowitz, 123 Blake Road, expressed concerns about her liability for half of the street as long as it is unaccepted by the Town, and about the 24 foot width proposed for the road. She added they did not intend to build on the land to the rear of their property that would receive legal frontage on the extension of Eaton Road. Questions from Stephen Britten, 34 Grove Street and Thomas Weber, 32 Grove Street, focussed on concerns that their potential development rights as J abuttors off the end of the extension of Eaton Road would be protected.
