' September 28, 1942
A meeting of the Planning Board was held on Monday,
September 28th, at the Town Offices. Messrs. Nickerson,
Ellis and Worthen were present.
The Board reviewed again the question of filling tmo
vacancies, and a letter from the Board of Selectmen calling
attention to the General Lawst Chapter governing procedure.
Mr. Nickerson stated that he had spoken to Mr. Ferguson,
the Board having previously been unanimous in the selection
of Mr. Ferguson to serve out the unexpired term of the late
Mr. Kimball. Mr. Nickerson awaits Mr. Fergusonts acceptance
or refusal to serve on the Board. Mr. Worthen offered to
speak to Mr. Roland B. Greeley, extending an invitation to
serve on the Board to fill the second vacancy.
The layout of lots to be sold from the Roberts Property
on Adams Street was discussed by the Board. The land in
question has a frontage of 385 feet on Adams Street, and
the proposed scheme considers selling three lots of 100 ft*
width each on Adams Street, leaving an 85 foot strip as the
remaining access to and frontage of the remaining land and
existing dwelling. This plan was not presented to the
Planning Board, but went directly to the Board of Survey
for signature.
Mr. Worthen reported that he had talked with the Town
Counsel on the matter, who stated that he had advised that
the.plan did not require Board of Survey approval inasmuch
as it was not a street lay -out or subdivisions and presumably
the plan went directly to the Registry of Leeds. A house
cannot be erected on the remaining land which has only an
85 foot frontage and possible future building development of
the property must be done with an approved road from Adams
Street into the back land. The owner wishes to sell lots on
the front, and the planning Board cannot request a plan for
the future subdivision of the entire property.
The Clerk reviewed a letter from Mr. William Stanley
parker, to Mr. Greeley, in which he states that he is still
available to assist in local capital budget studies. Mr.
Parker is interested in helping in second studies so as to
overcome any defects in the first report, and wishes to
get this study under way so that it will be ready at the
time of the next town meeting.
