Chairman Giroux, Messrs Rowse, Locke, and Sarano were present. The Clerk was also present. At 7:30 P.M. the Board of Survey hearing on the applica- tion of R. Lockwood, William A., and Philip Tower for the ap- proval of a plan of Follen Road, Locust Avenue, Clematis Drive, Cedarwood Terrace, and Dawes Road was declared open. Mr. Everett M. Brooks, the engineer, Mr. W. S. Caouette, Mr. Francis Fay Miller, Mr. & Mrs. Frank Moore, Mr. Cosgrove, and Mr. Paxton were present at the hearing. The notice of the hearing was read by the Chairman. Mr. Brooks presented plans of the development. He said that some lots on Follen Road were included in this new layout Board of and the reason was that the size of the lots had been changed. Survey heal He said that he had had two meetings with the Planning Board Ing on and through its suggestion, had made some minor changes. The Tower Dev. Towers own more land in the rear of the land on these plans, but because of a 25% to 35% grade, it is not to be developed at the present time. ' The Chairman asked if there was anything on the layout that the.Moores objected to and Mr. Moore replied in the negative. Mr. Caouette said that he would like the Board's informal ap- proval of the entire layout. The Chairman asked it the Towers built at all and Mr. Caouette said they did not -- they merely sold land. Of 32 lots sold so far, only four have been built on for speculation. Mr. Miller said that Follen Road, being a public street, they were not undertaking to do any construction of drains etc. there. The Chairman said that that was understood. Mr. Paxton asked how they plan to develop the circle at the end of Cedar - wood Road .and Mr. Brooks said they did not want to develop it now. They merely wanted to leave it to be built upon later. Mr. Miller said the area near Marrett Road, beside the Moulton property, was subject to a restriction that it cannot be built upon until 1951. Mr. Caouette said that there was a possibility that this land might be planted and made into a park so as to make an at- tractive entrance to the development. Mr. Miller said that undoubtedly before long the Town would want to put catch basins in the four corners of Follen Road and Locust Avenue. He suggested that they construct the drain in Locust Avenue up to Follen Road with the understanding that the Town could construct its catch basins at the corner. Both Paxton and Cosgrove said they would approve of this.
