LHC APPOINTMENT The search for a nevmember of the Commission is continuing. MILLBROOK VALLEY RELIEF SEWER Mr. Noyes of Jason Cortell Assoc . ( consultants to the MDC prime contractor) and Peter Kaselis , Project Mgr. MDC , outlined the Mill Valley Relief Sewer Facilities Plan, emphasizing Alternative 2 - "the preferred plan" to construct a relief sewer along the north side of the railroad right of way from the vicinity of the Arlington line to Bedford St. Comments are requested from LHC on the anticipated impact of the proposed plan on the historic resources in the area prior to the public hearing on May 15 . LHC will prepare a response at its next meeting on May 5 . It appears that there will be norrgative impacts on the structures ( only at 14 Hancock st. does the sewer come to within 8-10 feet of a structure) . No real provision has been made to deal with archeological finds -- however, there is no evidence at the present time that there is likely to be such a find.
