PLANNING BOARD MEETING VIII.
June 4, 1925.
Town Hall.
Present; Emery, Chairman, Messrs. Tilton, Duffy, Worthen,
Milne, and Town k'ngineer French.
"Hancock Birches."
In connection with the proposed development by
Diehl & Co. of property off Hancock and Adams Streets, the
Board studied the general topography and configuration of
the entire tract between these streets from their junction
to Burlington Street on the one hand and East Street on the
other.
It was agreed that an approximately direct
connection from East Street to North Hancock Street was
desirable, and from this a sketch of possible street lo-
cations parallel to this, with certain cross streets was
developed. Certain modifications in the street proposed
for the Diehl property as shown on plan prepared by Frank
Cutter, engineer, were favored to make this development fit
In with the larger development of the whole tract. The
sketch plan was turned over to Town Engineer French for
refinement and further study. The Clerk was instructed
to invite Diehl and Cutter to be present at the next meet-
ing of the board to review the matter.
Vine Brook Drainage.
Messrs. Duffy and Milne reported briefly in regard
to their study of the 1913 McClintock & Woodfall plan for
the improvement of the brook at Massachusetts Ave. and south-
ward. A more generous dimension for the culvert under
Massachusetts Ave. was advised (32 sq. ft. against 24). A
lowering of 2`-0 at Vine Brook Road was held to be barely
sufficient if indeed so. An approximation of the cost of
the improvement figured $50-$60,000. A taking 20 ft. wide
along the brook north of Massachusetts Ave. to below Sherman
Street was suggested.
Meeting adjourned at 10 P.M. for one week.
Wm. D. Milne,
Clerk.
