Chabot (.June 8, 1971) -2 ' Lots 28 and 29 will not be used by Dr. Chabot. Lot 29 is for a conserva- tion easement that he plans to give to the town. He's afraid to give up any more. Lot 29, which would be one-half acre,would be given to the town for conservation for no consideration or as an easement. Mr. Nickerson: Dr. Chabot will remodel and live in the house. The drawing shows a jog. The fieldstone steps are the reason for the jog. It doesn't affect the overall plan and there is no need for a variance for that. Mr. Nickerson: Do the Board members have any questions? Mrs. Morey: Are the trees going to stay as they are? What about a sign? Mr. Dailey: We are saving the trees. Seventy-five percent of the land will stay as it is. We'll come in later for the sign --- a free stand- ing one, probably. There are two big spruce trees. The trees will remain. Mr. Nickerson: There's no problem about the driveways? The driveway will have to be on the same 50 ft. lot. Mr. Dailey: Yes. There's no complication there. ' Mr. Nickerson: Those who wish to speak in favor may do so now. Those who registered in favor at this time were: Virginia Amichetti, 16 Kendall Rd. Ann Baldwin, 510 Waltham St. (across the street) Mr. McDonough (an animal lover) Jackie Davison, 86 Spring St. ("my dogs are patients") Elsa Sullivan, 5 Washington St. Robert Forsberg, 411 Concord Ave. Charlotte Sanderson, 4 Meadowbrook Mr. McCluskey, 503 Waltham St. (next door) also eleven, who raised their hands and were counted. Ruth Ross: I'd like to hear from the acoustical engineer. Mr. Nickerson: Is he here? Will he raise his hand, please. Mr. John Curtis stood and stated that the building would be sound proofed effectively. There would be no problem. He said that he visited the sight and,noticed the location and the abutters and particularly, since there will be no windows where the animals would be, there will be no problem to people in the vicinity even in the evening hours. There will be less noise from this facility than a normal house with a barking dog. It'll be no great effort to sound proof the building. The area were dogs will be is in the back. It'll be air-conditioned. You'll be better off then in a neighbor- hood of dogs. Mr. Nickerson: Anyone in opposition?
