The main idea is to make a. 1 -gout of exterior lines to get control of the a.r•ea e3orlg the brook: so that they could prevent prixrate de- velopers from building within the area designated and. then not construct until a later date. It wes questioned as to irshether or not it was necessary to make a. taking and Pyr. �rightington stated that you can't get an easement without inaklxi_g a te.kir,g. You have to make a. taking to go on a man's lard and put in a sewer. Vine Brook The thought originally was that the Vine Brook Drainage Valley from the railroar tracks to Butterfield's Pond was the outlet of storm drainage and because It over- flows its banks and causes damage, the Town wanted to relocate the brook. They want the privilege to change the location of the brook, do the construction work that is necessary and be relieved from damages. It tas asked if s taking could be made without doing the work just noiu. I+_r. ':irIghtington stated that is the lines were established., the Town woulc be liable for immeaiate damages such as the O'Connell case in the center. It was thought that maybe it mould be possible to obtain an easement adequate for future needs without mak- Ing an actual taking of property. Nr. Emery suggested that the Board go ahead and get the layout that they liked and then ask the Selectmen to have Tv:r. '.urightington give his opinion as t, what they could do. The Board asked_ if they might secure an easement, postpone the construction work and then when the order Is made for the construction, assess betterments for it. .sir•. ',vrightington st_,ted tP,.at unless the construction was accomplished_ within two years, it was void_. You can go into a vacant area and make a layout of street lines and pay damages. You can't make any kind of a taking111ithout Oa.7flr.E;es. ir.
