"EB 1 8 iv MEMORANDUM
TO: Alfred S. Busa, Chairman DATE: 2/18/82 PAGE:
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chairma SUBJECT: Mass Avenue
Traffic Safety Committee Mr. Kipp
At its meeting of 2/17/82 , the Traffic Safety Committee
met with Mr. & Mrs. Kipp regarding their request for assist-
ance in protecting their property at #517 Massachusetts
Avenue from errant motor vehicles. Various alternatives,
including metal and wood guard rails were discussed, however,
the Committee felt such steps were not justified. Nevertheless ,
we shared Mr. Kipp's concerns about potential damage to the
property, and it was the concensus of opinion that placement
of two or three large stones inside the Kipp' s existing fence
would be the most effective and aesthetically pleasing alter-
native. In a further attempt to provide help the Committee
suggested that, while this type of measure would technically
be entirely Mr. Kipp' s responsibility, DPW may be able to
offer assistance in providing and placing the stones . The
Committee recognizes that this approach is not the norm, how-
ever, we feel that in this case some liberty could be taken,
depending on availability and workload.
