Mr. Ripley representing the Board'of Appeals wished to again get the feeling of the Planning Board re: the petition of Rose Ampolo for permission to build a road entering on Burlington street which would not leave sufficient side yard for the house already there. Inasmuch as this would create a very dangerous traffic hazard and would also make it more difficult to refuse other requests of a similar nature which might came in later, it was moved by Mr. Ripley, seconded by Mr. Hathaway, that the Board of Appeals be noti- fied that the Planning Board would like to see the_varianee denied on the grounds that it is a distinct traffic hazard. Unanimously voted. Westgate Builders Mr. Sylvester and Mr. Thompson appeared for approval of their plans for Crawford road. Inasmuch as Mr. Taisey had refused connection witty the other end of Crawford road over his land and there was no objection from Mr. Burns for a !t0 foot road ending in a cul-de-sac and being renamed, it was moved by Mr. Ripley, seconded by Mr. Hathaway, that the plan be tentatively approved as a new road.
