<br />Mr. Briggs reported on his review of the "Flintlock" rezoning pro-
<br />posal. Based on his site review, he questioned the proximity of
<br />the Wood St. parcel to the Hanscom flight corridor with respect
<br />to the effect of noise of aircraft on future residents. The
<br />traffic impact of the proposed development on Hartwell Avenue
<br />was discussed briefly. Upon Mr. Costello's suggestion, Town Counsel

<br />authorize the Town to enter Mr. Barber's proposed agreement con-
<br />cerning the low and moderate income housing feature included in the
<br />proposal.
