<br />June 3, 17, July 1, 22, 1985; and the
<br />Session) and August 12, 1985, as correct -
<br />Shirley Byrne of Meadow Brook Avenue reported that she has heard the Willow Ridge
<br />subdivision, off Barrett Road, may become active again. She requested that the
<br />road be called Barrett Road all the way through to Wellington Lane Avenue. She
<br />preferred that Charlotte Way, a name originally proposed for a footpath, in
<br />memory of her mother, not be used. The Board has no information on this, but
<br />will keep her recommendation in mind.
<br />' 191. SIGNATURE AUTHORIZATION FOR RECORDER OF LAND COURT:
<br />The Board, Mr. Bowyer and Ms. Rawski signed the signature authorization letter
<br />for the Recorder of Land Court.
<br />192. Comprehensive Permit, BIDC, Wood St. Hartwell Ave.: At 7:57 the Planning
<br />Board recessed to join the Selectmen, other boards and interested citizens, in
<br />Estebrook Hall, to hear a presentation by BIDC on their proposal to build housing
<br />on the corner of Wood Street and Hartwell Avenue under the Comprehensive Permit
<br />process as allowed in Chapter 40B of the General Laws.
<br />Arthur Ullian, William Kasper and W. Gerald Venable presented the plans for BIDC
<br />and answered questions from the audience.
<br />The Board reconvened at 9:55 p.m. in Room G-15.
<br />193. Galehouse, Buckman Drive; Richard Galehouse and Joseph Steinkrauss present-
<br />ed a sketch plan for a subdivision of 4.2 acres of land off Buckman Drive, zoned
<br />RS. They propose to divide the parcel into five lots. Two of the homes will be
<br />for themselves, and will perhaps contain "accessory" apartments. Mr. Galehouse
<br />showed several cul-de-sac proposals to the Board including the use of two hammer-
<br />head endings of the road. They are advocating these endings to preserve more of
<br />the natural assets of the property. Roger Corbin confirmed the availability of
<br />utilities: water, sewer, and storm drainage on Buckman Drive and the location of
<br />their road almost halfway between two existing fire hydrants on Buckman Drive.
<br />The proposed road would not have any slopes of more than 8% (with cuts).
<br />Mrs. Flemings noted that the plan was actually a cluster plan, and Mr. Sorensen
<br />reminded the developers that 25% of the development must be dedicated as open
