b-2-58 _2_ At 8:00 p.m. Mr. Mark Moore, Jr. met with BURNHAM the Board to discuss a definitive plan of the pro- , FARMS posed Burnham Farms, See. 2 subdivision, a plan SEC. 2 Mr. Moore said he proposed to submit very soon with an application for approval. He referred to a May 1, 1958 Miller & Nylander plan which he filed with the Board, (see May 5, 1958 minutes) said plan being a scheme to extend as Section 3 the Burnham Farms development through lands of Kendrick and others to Lowell Street.

When he was informed that the Board would not agree to such an arrange- ment for reasons previously explained, (see minutes of the Planning Board's April 28, 1958 meeting) Mr. Moore asked that the Board approve the Section Two subdivision plan on the basis that he be allowed to construct the road in said subdivision but not build any houses until such time as the road was completed through the proposed third section of the Burnham Farms development to Lowell Street..The Board took this proposal under consideration.
