They think 100,0 :0 per year would be too muco to allow for both these intra-tow. highways. Abaott thinks 450,000 would be enough. Options coming in this year for these two streets total 413,500 (Buying this property will mean the town is no longer liaa;le for sewer damages whic_a it would otheiwise have has to pay t._e to owner ) Sewer Trunks and Laterals - The Board of Health and the Selectmen have been wanting to put in sewers faster to an toe town c .n afford. Planning Board does nothing about recowmending these and will not until the time comes teat we can consider future planning rather than eaaergreney installations. Since 1955 there has been no need for sewers in new subdivisions because of tighter restrictions on subdividers We are still catching up with last errors Recreation Land 1 46 acres of land back of Follen Hill is uns.er option for 515,000 (5300 has already been paid) 2. Option to buy read of Wilkins lana, 14.7 acres at 37,000 3. Adjoinigg piece of land under option, approximately 19 acres for 420,000 This is owned by $eynet (?) Realty Trust dna contains one house lot which is planned to oe sold for 45500 4. Top of Sun Valley, Whipple Hill - Planning board wants to take by eminent domain thfs yerr host of area was obtained from Be Vries, all except the top of the hill, :which is very desiraJle for panoramic view aLd for Skiing. Be Vries agreed to give this to the town too, but instead sold it to several people for a few hundred dolla.s. These owners won't sell Planning Board does Rot wane to take any of then house lots, just this extra piece which they oought. Appraiser says 4500 to each party is fair Planning Board allows 62500 to cove: court costs etc. 5.

No option on this yet. Town should budget for develoapaent iaisteaa of acquisition; present wording is "for ac4 .±lotion and development", this is still a good way to word it .nu would include all their plafis 620,000 per yea_ a good figure We have 410,006 now for development of daskia Park but sate is going to take 50 ft. for 128. ffhen they wake the v ,king, pla_ni. sward will ask damages and possioly t-y to use it slsewhere since Baskin Pa-it will be too swell Tax. titles are now Clea ed through Smu Jnow Le gets lair a p r .isal maiae In the past Feat the tow_ has Sold about ;v4--0,00© worth for house lots.

Get cost froth Selectmen. Battle 'toad National Pakk wil_ add to town' s income through tourism. 24 cars ,ger day on annual basis amount to 3100,000 annual payroll Town already has more ce 's per day ta,c.n this but all income is slipping through our fiugers because t. ere is no incentive to stay more than a few minutes. The amount of taxable land to be taken is very swell. Ait Force ?hitnan and Rowan. are studying aecesseS to base. There will be no access across park to base ,.F feels present access is a mistake; it divides the base recreation from its housing. They are thinkiva of an access out West Lincoln way and anot..e direct to 198. lite 24 intersection would be located 2u0 ft southerly to get oat of way of past and .ate 24 would be reloc ,ted to go arounu park. No coat to town. Rezoning plans. Garden apartments are both going ahead this spring. About 200 apartments in these two. Ultimately the town should need about 400 arartaents. Rezoning will be recommended only when a good pl i is submitted. Industrial at_ Research areas.
