PLANNING BOARD MEETING <br />August 8, 1955 <br />A regular meeting of the Planning Board was held <br />in the Town Engineerts Office, Town Office Building, on <br />Monday evening, August 8, 1955 at 7:30 P.M. Chairman <br />Adams, Messrs. Abbott, Grindle and Jaquith were present. <br />Mr. Snow, Planning Director, and the secretary were also <br />present. Mr. Stevens, Town Counsel, was present from <br />9:15 to 11:15 P.M. <br />Before the hearing opened Mr. Snow exhibited a <br />compiled plan he had prepared of land bounded by the <br />Lexington -Woburn -Winchester town line, Woburn and <br />Lowell Streets and a northwesterly portion of the <br />DeVries property, and showing,@riginal topography'of <br />the area, the Kelly development, proposed Sun Valley <br />lotting and the intervening vacant land. Upon this <br />base he had drawn a study plan indicating how he <br />thought the vacant Kelly land could be developed in <br />order to show what he considered to be the most logi- <br />cal connection between proposed Tyler Road of the Sun <br />Valley subdivision and Appletree Lane of the existing <br />Kelly subdivision. It was agreed that some provision <br />should be made for this future street connection, the <br />street coming somewhere within Lot 151 as shown on the <br />Section 8 definitive plan submitted by DeVries Construc- <br />tion Co. <br />PUBLIC HEARIN( <br />SUN VALLEY <br />SEC. 8 <br />Mr. George DeVries was the only person who appeared <br />for the formal hearing which opened at 7:35 P.M. Mr. <br />Adams stated that it was his understanding that it had <br />always been the Board's feeling that there should:_be <br />a street connection between the Kelly and Sun Valley <br />subdivisions, this intent being indicated by the ap- <br />proval of the Kelly development plans which left a <br />stub of road at the southeasterly end of Appletree <br />Lane, and by the preliminary plans submitted by <br />Pleasant Associates, former owners of the Sun Valley <br />property. The proposed plan for Section Eight of <br />Sun Valley showed no such connection. <br />Mr. DeVries said that he recalled the matter was <br />discussed at his first or second meeting with the Board <br />when tentative plans were considered. However, he was <br />of the opinion that the Board had approved the overall <br />development plan of January, 1954 which did not show <br />
