lJ I PLANNING BOARD MEETING VIII. June 4, 1925. Town Hall. Present; Emery, Chairman, Messrs. Tilton, Duffy, Worthen, Milne, and Town k'ngineer French. "Hancock Birches." In connection with the proposed development by Diehl & Co. of property off Hancock and Adams Streets, the Board studied the general topography and configuration of the entire tract between these streets from their junction to Burlington Street on the one hand and East Street on the other. It was agreed that an approximately direct connection from East Street to North Hancock Street was desirable, and from this a sketch of possible street lo- cations parallel to this, with certain cross streets was developed. Certain modifications in the street proposed for the Diehl property as shown on plan prepared by Frank Cutter, engineer, were favored to make this development fit In with the larger development of the whole tract. The sketch plan was turned over to Town Engineer French for refinement and further study. The Clerk was instructed to invite Diehl and Cutter to be present at the next meet- ing of the board to review the matter. Vine Brook Drainage. Messrs. Duffy and Milne reported briefly in regard to their study of the 1913 McClintock & Woodfall plan for the improvement of the brook at Massachusetts Ave. and south- ward. A more generous dimension for the culvert under Massachusetts Ave. was advised (32 sq. ft. against 24). A lowering of 2`-0 at Vine Brook Road was held to be barely sufficient if indeed so. An approximation of the cost of the improvement figured $50-$60,000. A taking 20 ft. wide along the brook north of Massachusetts Ave. to below Sherman Street was suggested. Meeting adjourned at 10 P.M. for one week. Wm. D. Milne, Clerk.
