14.-16-58 -4- informal plan, dated November 26, 1957, said plan showing proposed lotting along Sunny Knoll Terrace. It was decided that until such time as the Planning Board made a further study of the area northwest- erly of Garfield Street and bounded by the Boston & Maine Railroad, Poplar and Acorn Streets, that Mr. Boudreau would not be asked to extend Sunny Knoll Terrace through Lot 70 to Garfield Street.

In discussing the matter further, it was sug- gested that an option be obtained, if possible, before the next meeting of the Board so that an article could be placed in the warrant for the Special Town Meeting scheduled for May 12-, 1958.
