PLANNING BQARD MEETING ' April 6, 1964 A regular meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was held in its office, Town Office Building, on Monday, April 6, 1964. Present were chairman Meyer, members Riffin and Campbell, planning director Zaleski, and secretary Macomber. At 8:00 p.m. a public hearing was held on the application for approval of the definitive subdivision plan of the extension SANDERSON RD. of Sanderson Road from the previously approved portion southerly EXTENSION to the property of John B. Castelli et ux. Mr. Frederick Joyce, - Surveyor, presented the plan for Mr. Frank DiRocco who has an DiROCCO option to buy the property. Nine neighbors were present. A letter from the Superintendent of Public Works, dated March h, 1964) relative to recommended modifications of the sub- division plan was read and made a part of the record. A copy of the letter was given to Messrs. Joyce and DiRocco. John Castelli, whose property abuts the proposed Sanderson Road, was interested in knowing how far the road would go. He was shown the plan which indicates the edge of the turnaround will abut his property line. When asked if there were any future plans for extension he was told that this would not be done over his property without permission, but should he, Mr. Castelli, wish at some future date to extend the road he could do so and connect with Page Road thus making buildable lots on either side of the road. Mr. F. Polestra inquired about the status of lot DB and was told that this was too small for a buildable lot, but that a peti- tion could be brought before the Board of Appeals who might con- ceivably grant permission to build upon it. The Planning Board will check with the Town Counsel as to what status such a lot would have if approved as a part of the subdivision. The neighbors interested viewed the plans, and there being no further discussion the hearing was declared closed at 8:45 p.m. At this time a public hearing was held on the application OAK STREET for approval of a definitive subdivision plan of land now or SUBDIVISION formerly of Gustave Larson, located northeasterly of Oak Street - between Bruce Road and Ellis Street, shown as Lot 15 on Map 14 of GLEASON-LARSON the Assessors' maps. Mr. Daniel Gleason, petitioner, Mr. John J. Sullivan, sur- vayor, and eight citizens were present. Mr. Richard Belliveau, whose property abuts the proposed subdivision, feared that water would drain upon his property since the subdivision would be on a higher level. The chairman explained that it was against the law to alter the land so water would flow on anyone else's prop- erty and all subdivision have to be approved by the Town Engi- neer as to roads, utilities, drains, etc. This seemed to satisfy
