MEETING OF PLANNING BOARD <br />October 15, 1945 <br />Present <br />Messrs. Richards, Worthen, Nickerson and Cromwell. <br />Edward W. Higgins <br />The Board met with Mr. Higgins and representatives of <br />Olmsted Brothers. Mr. Higgins has indicated in a letter to Mr. <br />Worthen dated October 2, 1945 plans to develop an area of 40 <br />acres on the northerly side of Maple Street. He brought to the <br />meeting and left with the Planning Board a map parked as follows; <br />Ingleside Property of E. W. Higgins, Lexington, Massachusetts, <br />Preliminary Plan, October 1, 1945. <br />The Board approved in general of the lay out, especially <br />as regards the configuration of the street plan. The Board <br />suggested the addition of a turn -around on a dead end street and <br />understood that this would be provided for. <br />1 <br />The Board is concerned over the fact that not all of the <br />lots can make :connections with existing or prospective sewer lines. <br />It appears that only 33 will feed into the main trunk sewer and <br />that an additional 21 will feed into the Maple Street sewer when , <br />and if this is built. 27, it is believed, can never be <br />connected with a sewer line. The Board, having in mind the <br />existing conditions in the Manor, feels that before this <br />proposed development should be given approval it should be <br />demonstrated that local drainage conditions aaw-likely to be adequate <br />to provide for the 27 lots that can not be connected with a <br />sewer. <br />Mr. Higgins left with us a plan of street profiles. <br />He told us that some further revisions of these profiles might be <br />made before presenting them for final acceptance. <br />Resp etfully mittt(ed, Clerk <br />U <br />n <br />
