Mr. Alfred P. Tropeano, attorney, representing Mr. Lmilio V. Spagnuola of Esco Builders Corp. discussed the plan stating that it conformed to a preliminary plan entitled "Proposed Subdivision of Land in Lexington Mass. Owned by Esco Builders Corp.", dated March 12, 1957, and lot and street layouts having been informally approved by the Planning Board on T,Iarch 18, 1957. Dir. Tropeano pointed out on said plan the area of land upon which the Town held an option to purchase from Esco Builders a site for a Junior High School. Mr. John F. O'Connell of 52 Adams Street asked if the proposed subdivision included any of this land. It was determined that it did riot. Mr. Joseph F. Doherty of 74 Adams Street wished to be shown the boundary line and dimensions of the drainage easement on the rear of his lot. This was done. There being no further questions the Chairman asked for any indication of those who wished to be recorded either in favor of or as opposed to the approval of the definitive plan. Twelve persons wished to be recorded as in favor, none opposed. The hearing was declared closed at 8:55 p.m. After the hearing Messrs. Spagnuola and Tropeano met with the Board to discuss further the definitive plan. It was pointed out that the Board was proposing as part of its master road plan a town road to pass through, approximately parallel to the Willard Property, the northeasterly corner of the proposed subdivision. The detailed study for this road not having been completed, Mr. Spagnuola was asked if he would be willing to modify the plan to enable the Board to complete a definitive plan for this road. He agreed to do so by eliminating "Newport Road" and that portion of "Brentwood" Road on which lots 20 to 24 inclusive and 40 to 44, inclusive, front. The Board likewise agreed to request the Town Engineer for a revision of his estimated cost of perform- ing the various items of work in said subdivision as set forth in said engineer's letter of June 5, 1957. Messrs. Spagnuola and Tropeano left the meeting LONGFELLOW at 9:15 p.m. at which time the Board, at the request ESTATES of the Ampolo Engineering and Construction Corp., dis- cussed informally said Corporation's proposed definitive plan for Longfellow? Estates and decided how much of proposed Whittier Road should be excluded in Section One of said definitive plan.

Perkins, civil engineer for the proposed development. T•ir. Abbott left the meeting at 9:30 p.m.
