Present. Messrs, Emery, Cutler, Duffy, Glynn and
Milne.
The engineer's report regarding the Vine
Brook drainage project was reviewed and the ad.
visability of providing a Planning Board preamble
for it was discussed.
There was discussion of the doubtful
possibility of an open channel design shown being
possible between Vine Brook Road and Mass. Avenue,
and it was suggested that this matter be reviewed
further with the engineers.
Mr. Emery felt that a further meeting with
the engineers would be desirable and suggested certain
arrangements. It later developed that it would be
advisable if further meeting of the Planning Board be
held on Monday September 17 at eight o'clock, at which
the engineers' Mr. Raymond would be present.
W. D. Milne,
Clerk.
Mr. Emery reported his further discussion
of the project with Mr. Ryder, and indicated his
feeling that it would be necessary for a development
company to be formed by the Ryder interest in order
that co-operation might guarantee to the town the
betterments payments if the town undertook a work
'
of such magnitude.
It was felt that a report should more
clearly develop the extent of the benefit of the
drainage work beyond the immediate area reclaimed
and available for building developments which the
report indicated to be 185 acres.
There was discussion of the doubtful
possibility of an open channel design shown being
possible between Vine Brook Road and Mass. Avenue,
