405 BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING January 15, 1960 The regular meeting of the Board of Health was held Friday, January 15, 1960 at 3:00 P.M. in the Selectmen's Room of the Town Office Building. Members present were Dr. William Cosgrove, Mr. Charles Cole and Health Officer, Mr. Mark Lurvey. Mr. Louis Greene, Attorney and Mr. James A. Carrig appeared WELLINGTOE before the Board to discuss the letter sent by the health Depart- LANE DUN/ ment to Mr. Carrig requesting the removal of a considerable am- ount of rubbish that has accumulated on the triangular piece of land owned by Mr. Carrig, 330 feet of which borders on the south- erly side of Wellington Lane, 350 feet of which borders on the northerly side of Route 2 and 120 feet that borders on property owned by Mr. '4omas Bettencourt. The nuisance exists along the Wellington Lane portion of this property. Mr. Greene stated that a notice had been received Friday, January 15, 1960 that another taking of land by the State had been done and he did not know at the present time if the land in Question was included in this taking. Mr. Greene said he would check on this land the first of next week and let the Board of Health know if the land in question was a part of that taken by the State. Mr. Greene and Mr. Carrig stated that .since the order from the Board of Health was received signs have been posted stating "No Dumping". Previous to this Mr. Carrig has posted signs and they have been pulled down. Mr. Lurvey stated that the Police have checked the rubbish and it is a very awkward situation because the fact remains that the owner is responsible for the land. The rubbish and debris is very unsightly and if it is allowed to remain it will attract rats and become a very serious Health problem. Mr. Greene read regulation No 6. Chapter IV and stated that as long as Mr. Carrig had posted this land with "No Dumping" signs he was not in violation with the regulation. Mr. Lurvey said possible some of the debris could be removed and then the rest filled in. Mr. Carrig and Mr. Greene felt it would cost quite a bit of money and they would rather wait and see if this land has been taken by the State. Mr. Cole suggested we hold off any further action until Mr. Greene found out if the State has taken this land for the High- way program. After a short discussion it was agreed to wait until the next Board of Health meeting before taking any further action. Mr. Lurvey reported that a letter had been written to the SCHAFFER Planning Board approving the Benjamin Schaffer Preliminary sub- SUBDIVISIO1 division on Woburn Street, bordering on the Woburn Line, with WOBURN ST. the conditions that Lots 10, 11, 18, 21, 28 and 29 will not be built upon without prior consent of the Board of Health. Board approved letter.
