Trinity Covenant Estates, near Allen Street; Public Hearing: Mrs. Wheaton opened the public hearing on the subdivision by reading the notice of the public hearing. Mrs. Smith disqualified herself from acting on the subdivision because she owns property abutting the subdivision. Dennis Lowe, attorney and trustee for Trinity Realty Trust, was present and spoke briefly on the plans. Dorothy Covert, an abutter, said that stakes had been placed across the back of her lot and rep- resentatives of the Engineering Department had discussed constructing a sewer across the back of her property. She questioned how the sewer proposed for the subdivision related to the sewer proposed to be constructed by the Town. After much discussion, it was agreed that more information is needed from the Engineering Department on this subject.
