234 Mr. Smith said, "Right now, it hasn't been too bad over there, in fact, it has been pretty good recently." Mr. Smith said the permit holder is re- sponsible and we gave the permit to Highland Food Mart. Dr. Cosgrove asked who owns the property? Mr. Smith said, "Earl Comeau". Dr. Cosgrove said to talk to Norman Cohen and see who would be responsible. VILLAGE FOOD It was reported to the Board that the Village Food Stores is now keeping STORES their parking lot picked up. Conditions are much better. Mr. Smith told the Board that Mr. DiMatteo came to him today to say Bill POTTER'S Smith wanted to occupy some of the units at Potter's Pond. Mr. Bill Smith POND is committed to let some people in. Mr. Smith said they want to use a wet wall holding tank but George Smith said he had never heard from Bill Smith about this. George Smith said they would have to go to the D.E.Q.E. for a variance to do this. Mr. Lambie asked i4'no Bill Smith was. Mr. Smith said that he is the builder of Potter's Pond and had also built Russell Square. Dr. Cosgrove wanted to know what Potter's Pond came under. Mr. Smith said, "Planned Unit Development". Mr. Lambie asked if the Board had to approve that? Mr. Smith said, "No", because it is being connected to Town sewer". ROUTE 128 Mr. Smith mentioned to the Board that a gentleman had come into the office & RTE. 2 about developing the property at Rte. 128 and Rte. 2. Mr. Smith does not think that is a good area for developing and he had done some testing there at one time and some of the area tested out poorly and also the Cambridge "Res" is also nearby. DOG BITE Mr. Smith said in the past, the post office wanted to put their building there and connect to sewer in Waltham, but the City of Waltham would not hear about it. Mr. Smith said sewer would be a little nearer now because of other new buildings that had gone up in the area. A dog owned by Robert Rushton of Marrett Street bit a child last Friday. This is the third bite from this dog. One was an adult and two children. One of the children had over forty stitches on his face. The dog officer would have had to have a hearing but the owner turned the dog over to the Town. The dog was a large German Shepherd, it had been vaccinated for rabies. Dr. Erdos asked if there had been any follow-up on the dog poisonings. Nothing more from the Hathaway Road, said Mr. Smith. He had heard of a sick dog that the owners took to a local vet. The vet suggested they get it into Angel Memorial and as the owners were putting the dog into the car, it died.
