Monday, August 27,1951
Present: Adams, Caouette, Irwin, Johnson, Potter, Ripley
Meeting opened at 7:45 p.m.
Paver Developments
Letter received from Mr. Stevens in reply to query as to whether
subdivision control provisions effective in the town would apply to land
recorded in Registry of Deeds but which has remained a "paper street" in
that no lots have been sold and no ways laid. It was the opinion of the
Board that the last paragraph of the letter should be entered in the
records; and is as follows:
"It is my opinion that the subdivision control statute applies
to this tract of land and that before the land can be developed
it would be necessary for a subdivision plan to be filed with
and approved by the Planning Board. The applicable statute is
Section 81K of Chapter 41 of the General Laws. The second para-
graph of that section specifically provides that the prior re-
cording of a plan shall not exempt the land from the applica-
tion of the subdivision control provisions, with certain ex-
ceptions that are not applicable under the above facts."

ton Construction Co. Copy of letter from Mr. Burns to Planning Board stat-
ing progress of work done to be sent to Aetna Co.
Custom Built Homes
Letter read from Mr. Stevens re: issuance of certificates to Cus-
tom Built Homes. Moved by Mr. Caouette, seconded by Mr. Potter that the

ficate of Town Engineer to Planning Board is signed by Mr. Burns, then
Planning Board will sign certificates of approval and send to Custom Built
Homes.
