It was noted that no reply had been received from the Town Engineer to a specific request for information on several engineering problems involved in the construction of the access road. In view of the fact that the Planning Board has to act by January 3, 1972, on this sub- division and there is no way to get an extension as Mr. Colbourne, owner, has gone to England, the Board discussed a course of action.
