Hearing - SilIAv
Mr.Joseph Silva appeared with petition to extend Sunny Terrace a
distance of approximately 450' from Sunny Knoll Ave. under subdivision
regulations of the zoning by-laws.
Altho Mr.Silva submitted plans for this street, he stated that
he believed it to be an injustice to have to build it for only one house
on his property, and asked if there could not be relief of some sort.
Messrs.Vernon Crosby, Charles Martel and Domenic deAmicis appeared
and wished to be recorded as being in favor of the street provided it
would incur no expense to them, in the form of betterments, eta. They
also felt that a hardship was involved. The Board agreed to hold this
over for discussion with Town Counsel. Mr. Stevens appearing later in
the evening was presented with the problem and said he would look into
the matter and see if there was any way in which relief could be afforded.
However, the petition as presented was approved by the Board.
