now Q.7c A report from the Planning Board stated that it endorsed the efforts of the Selectmen to work out an improved traffic pattern at the intersection and believed that the greater use of Camellia Place would contribute to better traffic management. The Board encouraged the Selectmen to pursue this approach provided a connection of Camellia Place to Hancock Avenue is not included in the plan and any connection across the Vine Brook is environmentally acceptable. No further comments were offered since the Pl ann i ng Board has seen o plans for i nter=el"ti on design or traff rout; ng in the area. With respect to the question of a requirement for Town Meeting action to cross town owned land to reach Camellia Place, Mr. Cohen said more information about the title and how the land was acquired is needed before that issue can be clarified. Mr. Hutchinson commented that it appears that an easement and Town Meeting action will be required= Mr. Cohen suggested that the attorney for Lumberyard Trust could be asked to work on the title regarding that matter, - Mr. Eddison noted the Concerns of Hancock Avenue residents about the possibility of a cut - through to their street, and pointed out that that is not shown to be part of the proposal.. Mrs. Smith Commented as follows; the three Boards agree that there is no plan be them as yet on which to comment on the issue of a second egress from Mr. Busa ►s development over Camellia Pl but that his concern � is only one symptom of area -wide problems.
