APPROVAL OF MINUTES On the motion of Mrs. Flemings, seconded by Mr. Sorensen, the minutes of the meetings of April 19, May 2, May 4, May 9, May 10, May ll, May 18 and May 23 were approved unanimously as written. PLANS NOT REQUIRING SUBDIVISION APPROVAL 108. Pelham Road, Sister Mary Sears, S.G.M., Form A-83/3 The Board reviewed a plan, dated March 31, 1983, of part of the Gray Nuns' prop— erty off Pelham Road. There was confusion as to what the plan sought to accomp- lish. Mr. Sorensen observed that what the plan actually showed was the creation of a Lot 2 with only 58 feet of frontage. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Uhrig, it was voted unanimously to disapprove the proposed plan because it would create a lot with insufficient frontage. SUBDIVISION OF LAND 109. Battleview, off Young Street: Release of Surety The.Board was in receipt of a letter from Philip C. Heidke, dated May 17, 1983, requesting release of surety, and a memorandum from Francis X. Fields, Town Engineer, dated June 3, 1983, indicating all work had been completed to his satisfaction and recommending final release of the surety. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Flemings, it was voted unanimously to release all surety held on the Battleview Subdivision. 110. APPLICATIONS TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS 10 Maguire Road, ITEK Optical Division, SPS: As members had not received the draft copy of the report, Mr. Bowyer explained the major features of the proposal. The traffic impact of the proposed development had previously been included in the SPS report for 85 Hartwell Avenue. It was agreed to take the same position, relative to traffic, on the ITEK SPS as had been taken on the 85 Hartwell Avenue and Kiln Brook V SPS's. Mr. Bowyer gave an oral report on four applications to be heard by the Board of Appeals on June 9, 1983. For the petition for a variance from the lot frontage requirement on a lot adjacent to 72 Lowell Street, Mr_ Sorensen commented the "hardship" was self-imposed because the insufficient frontage was created by an earlier approved Form A subdivision. He recommended the Board make the same recommendation that it had two years earlier when the case was previously before the Board of Appeals.
