<br />proposed improvements to Reed Street dated April 27, 1984, stamped by Francis

<br />1984. The Board was in receipt of a recommendation from the Town Engineer dated
<br />May 9, 1984 indicating the proposed improvements were acceptable if the gravel

<br />requested. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mr. Cripps, it was voted
<br />4-0 that:
<br />1. In the opinion of the Planning Board, Reed Street, insofar as it provides
<br />frontage for Lot 349 as shown on Map 72, is not now of adequate construc-
<br />tion. If the improvements identified on the "Plan and Profile Showing
<br />Improvements to Reed Street - Lexington, Mass.," dated April 27, 1984,
<br />prepared by Miller and Nylander Company, and bearing the stamp of Francis
<br />D. DiPietro, Registered Professional Engineer, are made and a written
<br />certification by Mr. DiPietro is submitted that the improvements, as shown
<br />on the plan, have been completed, then Reed Street, insofar as it provides
<br />frontage for Lot 349 on Map 72, will be considered to be of adequate grade
<br />and construction.
