Mr. Stevens came to the meeting at 9:30 p.m. ' at which time he and Mr. Snow discussed with the Board the need for a survey of the land to be given to the town for a recreation area by the DeVries Construction Co. of Wakefield, The principle Points discussed were the difficulties of writing a deed based upon the acquisition by DeVries of the former Pleasant Associates lands, some of said lands having been developed into numerous parcels and subsequently conveyed by the DeVries Co., and the rights to land between the new and old Winches- ter town line. L' 1 SUN VALLEY RECREATION AREA It was decided that in view of the poor de- scriptions of the easterly boundary lines for the proposed sites, that a survey should be made of said boundary lines, said survey being considered a necessary part of the cost in connection with obtain- ing an option on said land. It was decided to have Mr. Robert G. Venne survey the boundary lines and that before this was done Pair. Stevens was to obtain definite assurance from the DeVries Construction Co.'s attorney that the Town was going to obtain the land and that steps would be taken so that said land could not be attached before the town took title to the property. Considered next was the application of Mrs. Baskin for approval of the definitive plan entitled "Loring Hill Estates Section One, Lexington -Mass." It was decided that Mr. Stevens would inform Mr. Ernest J. Corrigan that if he would assume the obli- gations of the applicant, as he wished to do, and furnish the necessary bond that the Planning Board was in a position to approve said definitive plan. It was decided also to ask Supt. of Public Works Gayer to prepare a plan to show all sewer easements within said subdivision so that these could be con- veyed to the Town prior to the subdivision approval and so that the Land Court could make a registration of said land subject to the Town's trunk line sewer easement. It was further decided that the Planning Board would write a letter to the Selectmen stating that the Board understood that the Selectmen would take the necessary steps to have the town construct a street from Waltham Street to the boundary line of the Baskin land where it would meet the street to be built in the subdivision by the subdivider, the town being obligated to construct a Boad of Survey street as covered by a written agreement between the Lexing- ton Estates Trust and the Town of Lexington, dated September 22, 1947.
