PIANNDIG BOARD MEETING IMonday, Burch 5, 1951 Presents Cromwell, Caouette, Johnson, Potter, Ripley Meeting opened at 7330 p.m. Bill was presented by Louise M. Baker for $4.50, stenographic services for month of February. Voted the bill be paid. Mr.Cromwell read the transcription of notes on hearing by Selectmen held Monday, February 26 on proposed street from Edison Way to Depot Square. WPM Mr.Silva appeared with old plans of land on Sunny Terrace on which he wishes to develop a way. Inasmuch as these plans Ind not been recorded he was advised that the Board could give no approval and that he would be ad- vised after consultation with Mr. Burns what his next procedure would be. In any event the plans would have to be completed before approval. . _ . Informal discussion was held on the proposed street from Edison Way to Depot Square. After discussion pro and con the Board came to agreement that the street was of no interest to them unless it would lead to parking space in back of the stores. As it now stands, it would appear that a new road would encourage erection of more stores fronting on the new road ' and would defeat the parking area project, and the Board felt they owed an obligation to the merchants since they had promised to try and solve the parking problem when the meters were installed. However it was agreed that they would approve the paving of Edison Way itself to the B. & M. property. At 9 o'clock the meeting adjourned to the Selectmen's office for fur- ther discussion with the Board of Selectmen. Meeting readjourned at 9:30. Mr.Cromwell read the Annual Report, which was approved and signed by the members of the Board. On motion of Mr. Caouette a rising vote of thanks was given to Mr. Richard Cromwell for his years of service on the Planning Board, and es- pecially for his -excellent job as chairman. This being Dick's last meeting, the other members of the Board will indeed miss him. Meeting adjourned at 10 o'clock. ll. s. (�souette, ' J Clerk Imb
