4-28-58 ' 1957 meetings. In regard to obtaining an option to purchase the Millyan property, Mr. Stevens reported that Mr. Reenstierna, engaged to appraise said property for the town, had set a value of $25,000 for the land and buildings. In view of this apprais- al, Mr. Stevens- ecommended that the Town obtain an option to purchase the property for $"28,900 rather than taking said property by eminent domain. He thought that in a court case tried before a jury there might be a possibility of an award and court costs amounting to $28,900 or more if the Town took said Millyan property. Mr. Stevens next discussed with the Board its action relating to the preliminary subdivision plan previously submitted by Paul J. McCormack and Albert C. Brun and Mr. McCormack's January 10, 1958 letter to the Selectmen in regard to said proposed subdivi- sion and related matters. Mr. Stevens asked the Board to consider further its suggestion that an area for recreation purposes be set aside adjacent to the Harrington School Grounds with the view of es- tablishing the exact boundaries the Board wishes to recommend be acquired. ' Mr. Stevens also discussed with the Board the grant of easement for public travel across Lot 5 owned by Mr. and Mrs. William B. Glass, said ease- ment extending from Flintlock Road to Kineen Park and shown on a definitive subdivision entitled, "Plan of Lots in Flintlock Ridge Section One", dated Feb. 13, 1953. M--. Stevens had obtained said punt in connec- tion with a petition of citizens to accept Flintlock Road as a town way. He renorted that in discussing the easement with Mr. Glass, the latter expressed a desire to have the easement located along the other side line of his property and to have the Town pro- tect said easement with a fence. The Board was asked to study tris matter further with a view of relocat- ing the easement or recommending its abandonment if it was not needed. Mr. Stevens left the meeting at 8:30 p.m. The Board devoted the remainder of its meet- ing to making detailed arrangements for conducting the public hearing to be held on May 1, 1958 in re- gard to the proposal for re -zoning land for a regional shoppingc enter. The meeting adjourned at 10:25 p.m. X U hard H. Soule Clerk -3- McCORMACK AND BRUN LAND FOR RECREATION PURPOSES 10#V& y KINEEN PARK FOOTWAY EASEMENT
