r. e.etint_ of the Plaeei_ng Board was held in the Town
Office B_iildirr , Tuesday, June 23, 1932, at 3 00 P T,:. Lessrs .
Emery, Scheibe , Luffy and Glynn were present . The Town Engineer
and sec: etary were also pre sent .
The Town Engineer presented and explained plans of the
L±orash property and Allen Street development . The matter was
considered and it as decided that now is the time to lay out
this entire section for future development iir. Emery stated that
this is an isolated development and has nothing to do with others
around i t , and, qugge sted that the Board refuse to accept the layout
until it is carried through to the other three sections . There
is a vrst area of land that has got to be developed and now is
the time to le , out +he Jrincipal roads .
It was voted to reauest the Town Engineer to consider
the larger area surrounding the Thr ash property are to plot the
best locations for Lhrough roads in different directions tying
the properties in with the best through roads and those about
to be lair down by the State , together with the extension of
the so-called Ruder development It is also the feeling of the
Board that particular care should he eyercised in the development
of the area of the adjoining tracts of the property under con-
sideration and the school 'hog. se .
.r Cosgrove stated that it would take some tir-e to
do this work as there are about seventy acres in that section.
The plan in Mind would be a rough piece of work that would estab-
lish relations with the princepal streits before anything is done
on the .nrash prom.*+T
i re lune o'-n-r s on rill in ,treat ap'-r•ove the layout but
are not i_nt3rested in the developrnnt at the present time .
The veo1e area should be lair' out so that •rhsn other
developers attracted by the school house start developing, this
layout willshe• them where the main streets are located . The ...orash
roads ought to be laid down and tied up with State Road. If Development
the Ile state road is put through along Concord Avenue , it will
bring e lot of traffic out this wag and invite developers
The problem at the present time is the extending of
the high land from the school to Blossom otreet and laying it
out with sufficient outlets to sive opportunity to snape it up
at a lair da'.e . t'Lrcu'rh road coming in from a-ltham Street
- i+h sone reasonably ( 4rect line into this development was suggested.
A r )rd cannot be laid do—n definitely in the low part until a
' ey of draini-'T it is found .
hr. ruff,,* stated that some time ago he suggested that
the area from the Town Office Building to the nigh School was
going to be quite an important area and prophesied that the Russell
house might be the key property in the consideration of the whole
111 area The Russell House is going cut of business July 1st and
Lr . Luffy troucrht the matter should be investigated . The Town
Fr-

should contemnlate bu•-inr it as the present high School Building
is rapidly becoming inadecua.te .
.Lr. Emery sta`-ed that he thou -ht a new building should Russell
be built to suprleren+ the old one rather than making additions House
By buying the Russell House property, it would protect thJ Town roperty
Office Building and Gary L;emorinl Building, as well as the high
School .
it as decided that ,h k,hairr,'an of the Board of Select-
men, Chairman of the School Corr. ittee , and Chairman of the Planning
Board be made a committee to consider the matter and report what
if any recommendations it might hav- with respect to the Russell
Hous properti7 .
