Mr. Cook observed that the direction of arrival of nearly all the employees is from the Route 128 side which would require that, in the morning hour, left turns be made from Marrett Road into the access road. He questioned whether that many left turns could be handled in a fifteen minute period but said he would study the situation further. Article 61, Hartwell Avenue and Wood Street Mr. Bowyer reported that Julian Bussgang indicated they were working hard on a revised plan and should have something before the next scheduled Planning -Board meeting. Mr. Sorensen indicated he was unhappy with what apparently will be a one -lot zoning proposal and with the lateness of the submission in light of the Planning Board's policy on RD/CD zoning amendments and the time allowed for re- visions.
