ZONING ENFORCEMENT 130. 4-6 Sherburne Road: The Board was in receipt of a letter from Building Commissioner Peter DiMatteo dated May 23, 1984 stating he had issued a stop work order in order to preserve the status quo until the legal and factual questions could be resolved in a quasi-judicial forum by the Board of Appeals. He suggested that the Planning Board file a petition with the Board of Appeals. On the motion of Mr. Sorensen, seconded by Mrs. Uhrig, it was voted 4-0 to appeal the lack of enforcement action taken by the Building Commissioner, as represented by his letter 1 dated May 23, 1984, in response to the Planning Board's request for enforcement contained in its letter dated May 8, 1984. REPORTS 131. Planning Board Members, Subcommittees HATS: Mrs. Uhrig reported on a meeting of the Hanscom Area Traffic Committee held on May 15, 1984 which was attended by Secretary of Transportation and Construction, Frederick Salvucci and Associate Commissioner, Kenneth Kruckemyer. Salvucci had favorable comments about North Lexington Traffic Improvements and thought that project should move along. He said the State needed to take a comprehensive view of the Route 128 problem because requests similar to the reconstruction of Bedford Street are being received from a number of cities and towns along Route 128. He opposed the widening of Route 3 because that would simply force additional conges- tion onto Route 128. There was much discussion by Lincoln and Concord representa- tives about Route 2 west of Route 128. Salvucci said there would be prompt action on "interim safety improvements" and work on a plan which would probably involve an underpass at Bedford Road and Crosby's Corner.
