Mr. Snow having prepared the plan for display purposes at the Special Town Meeting to be held on September 17, which time the Board held a detailed discussion with him in regard to the procedure to be followed in pro- ' cessing plans such as the one accompanying application #57-$5. It was pointed out that the state enabling legislation was inadequate in setting forth procedure to be followed in handling cases such as this and that what was needed was a practical way of handling similar situations. Mr. Stevens stated that any determination of Planning Board jurisdiction made by said board was final. He said that in this case, where the lot was to be used for the construction of an Edison substation, there was no point in c;etermining that approval under the subdivision control law was required even though the lot did not have the minimum frontage required for a single family residence district under the town's zoning by-law. He asked what the Board could require of the subdivider in view of the fact that the proposed lot would front on a public way; namely, Bedford Street, which had adequate construction and municipal services to serve the lot and any buildings to be erected there- on. In regard to similar cases involving unaccepted s streets, Idr. Stevens stated that he believed also there was no point in determining that plans require approval under the subdivision control law unless the Board re- quires work to be done in said ways. Mr. Stevens left the meeting at 9:45 p.m. at which time Mr. Snow called to the Board's attention HANCOCK HEIGHTS the fact that in correcting errors found on the Han- SECS.l & 2 cock Heights Section Two subdivision elan, he had noted that the plan for the first section of the Hancock Heights development had been modified. He recommended that the Section Two plan be withdrawn, corrected, :end resubmitted and that at the same time there also be submitted an application for modifica- tion of the definitive plan of the first section of said development.
