Ballards We have been doing this for years on these two lot propositions. Soule: We are talking about unaccepted streets. Stevens: If it complies with zoning it is alright. That is not true of these others. They are subdivisions. Even though they are subdivisions. They still have to get approval from the Planning Board. Nickerson: How about matters in, general between our two boards? Several years ago it was deterai.ned'that in any case the Planning Board was interested they should give the matter thought and advise us reasonably soonin advance of the hearing instead of the night of the hearing. Unless we hear a little while ahead of time we,will consider that they are not interested in objecting to the petition. Soule: And not be taken by surprise the night of the hearing. Eipley: Sometimes it has been alright. Soule: And sometimes you have been warned that we are going to speak on a particular hearing, Stevens: You have a petition before you. You don't make up your mind before the hearing. What difference does it make? Nickerson: The Yl nine Board should :iu Mr opinion, advise us in advance of their stand on the matter. Stevens: You have the power. The attitude of the Planning Board is just one thing to take into the consideration. Nickerson: The Planning Board has a professional and we are amateurs. We keep making these errors of judgement and I think the advice of the Planning Board is worthwhile. Mabee: Sometimes we decide Monday as to what stand to take on your hearing Tuesday night. Why do you have to make a decision so soon? Nickerson: We don't always have 5 regular members of the Board of Appeals and you have to get the same 5 people together again.

We are not following the Planning Board's dictates' but we do like to know how they feel about this ahead of time. Mabee: If there is any question of the jurisdiction matter we should communicate with you well in advance.
