July 100, 1925.
Present: J. H. Duffy, (acting chairman), Messrs. Worthen,
Glynn, Tilton, Milne and Engineer French.
Frank Cutter, Engineer, appeared with Stephon Trebino
with sketch plan of proposed street off Utica Street, Engineer
French had been over this matter. It was discussed and left
with the understanding that Messrs. Cutter and French would
study possible connecting streets and the surrounding area, and
present a further scheme at the next meeting of the board.
Mr. Cutter also presented a proposed lot and street
plan for Walter Black for land off Highland Avenue. The plan
was reviewed and it was suggested that allowance be made for
proper setback of existing houses from the proposed new street,
and that allowance be made for through street to lands at the
south of Mr. Black's property. It was left that Mr. Cutter
was to submit a revised plan.
Mr. Cutter reported for Mr. Diehl in regard to the
"Hancock Birches" development, that Mr. Diehl had been unable
to make any trade with Mr. Bull whereby land would be available
to locate the proposed new street from Adams to Hancock so it
would join with Hancock northerly from the triangle at Revere
Street. It was the sense of the meeting that if proper
dxchanges of land could be made to secure suitable curves at
the junction with Hancock Street, the use of the strip belonging
to Diehl for the street location would be acceptable.
