Architects Collaborative
Mr. Fletcher of Architects Collaborative appeared for tentative approval
of preliminary layout of development on Concord Avenue, original survey by
Miller & Nylander, called Five Fields, an area of approximately to acres,
roughly one-half of which is to be developed comprising about 70 lots. Mr.
Couette suggested that instead of the two dead ends on the water main some
system be devised whereby circulation of water would be provided, also an
easement whereby the water main and road could be extended in the future,
which was agreeable. Mr. Fletcher stated that they were contemplating an en-
trance road, and that it was expected to post a bond for first portion of the
road in about three weeks. The plans were left for further consultation with
Mr. Burns, Town Engineer, after which tentative approval would be given by
the Board when approved by Mr. Burns.
Bim
Bills were presented by Louise M. Baker, $3.00 for stenographic ser-
vice for month of March; and by Mass.Federation of Planning Boards, $20.00,
dues for membership. Unanimously voted these bills be paid.
Winning Farm Lane
Mr. Ernest Lindstrom, Building Inspector, appeared for information,
stating that Mr. DeBonia of Deb Homes, Inc. wished to put house lots on Winn-
ing Farm Lane, using the Lane as his street, and Mr. Lindstrom wished to know
if the Planning Board felt this could be done. The Planning Board agreed
that this was not shown on the plan of development approved by the Board,
that Winning Farm Lane was not a so-called accepted street, and that a permit
to build on it should not be given.
Gravel Pita
Mr. Lindstrom also wished to know about gravel pita - how far and how
deep could they go and how much sand and loam could be taken from the town.
He stated that the zoning laws did not specify this and wished that there
could be something definite inserted. The Board agreed and felt that the
matter should be further studied and some of the gravel pita investigated. Mr.
Stevens suggested that the operators be talked with, and if they do not agree
to do something about it, get an injunction and the court will make them. He
felt it was the job of the Planning Board to get information.
