The Planning Board reviewed an excerpt of the Selectmen's minutes of their January 9, 1957 meeting in regard to the proposed Junior High School site and the Planning Board's January 17, 1957 letter to the Selectmen in regard to said site and the proposed adjacent Hawthorne Acres development. After discussing the prob- lems involved the Board requested that Mr. Snow and Mr. Gayer confer on establishing the easterly boundary lines between the proposed school site and the Hawthorne Acres development so that Mr. Gayer could prepare a Junior High School site plan on which would be shown the bearings and distances of said common boundary lines. Mr. Abbott returned to the meeting at 8.55 p.m. and re- ported that no Board of Appeals hearing was held on the Associates Realty Trust petition because the representative from the com- pany which designed the sign the Trust proposed to erect, was not present. Nb% Jaquith returned to the meeting at 9:05 p.m. at which time Mr. Raymond F. Boudreau and Mr. Nylander met with the Board to discuss Mr. Edwin W. Hadley's December 20, 1956 letter to Mr. Boudreau in regard to possible sale of the Alex- ander lot on Garfield Street and the possible extension of Sunny Knoll Terrace through said Alexander and Town -owned lots to Garfield Street. It was thought that if Mr. Boudreau could purchase privately -owned lots on the northeasterly side of Garfield street these could be exchanged for town -owned lots on the same side of said street in order to extend Sunny Knoll Terrace through to Garfield Street and thereby eliminate the necessity of a turn -around on said terrace beyond the limit set by the Planning Board. The Board decided that Mr, Boudreau would be required to extend Sunray Knoll Terrace as a regular subdivision street to the northwesterly boundary of his land but agreed that Mr. Boudreau would only be required to rough out the road to connect his subdivision road with Garfield Street. Messrs. Boudreau and Nylander left the meeting at 9:25 p.m. at which time the Board read, approved and had the Chair- man sign a letter dated January 22, 1957 and addressed to Chief Engineer Gray of the State Department of Public Works. In said letter the Board referred to its December 18, 1956 letter to Mr. Gray and his reply of December 27, noted that rt". Gray's letter was dictated by someone else and made no reference whatsoever to the information which the Board sought, and requested an answer to said letter of December 16, 1956.
