7-1l-58 ' Mr. Richard J. Gaver Supt. of Public Works Town Office Building Lexington 73, Mass. Dear Mr. Gayer: 15 July 1958 Re: Sidewalk Location and Construction Subdivision Rules and Regulations The Planning Board has been reviewing its policy in regard to the location and construction of sidewalks in subdivisions as set forth under Sec. V. B. 9. of the Subdivision Rules and Regulations. In the belief that the Board could facilitate the administration of this particular paragraph of said regulations, Mr. Snow was asked to discuss and formulate with you a procedure wherein the location of sidewalks would be shown on definitive subdivision plans and the cost of said walks included in the acceptance of estimates as set forth in Sec. III. B. 4. of said regulations. It is the Boards understanding that the following nrocedure is the one agreed upon and is to be followed hereafter unless the Board receives a communication from you to the contrary. ' 1. When definitive plans have been filed with the Superintendent of Public works for the purpose of ob- taining from him written acceptances and approvals under Sec. III. B. of the Subdivision Rules and Regulations, he will notify the Planning Board of such filing in order that the Board may indicate to him what it is going to require in the way of sidewalks in the proposed subdivision. 2. At the next meeting of the Board, it will decide if any, and where, sidewalks are needed, the Planning Dir- ector conveying said information to the Superintendent of Public Works. 3. The subdivider will be required to show the location of said walks on the street and profile plans in a manner satisfactory to the Superintendent of Public Works. 4. The cost of constructing said walks will be included in the acceptance of estimates of required work to be done in the subdivision. LEXINGTON PLANNING BOARD Isl Thomas S. Grindle, ' Chairman
