Hathaway, seconded by Mr. Ripley that the Town Reports and Planning Board

.. .
Mr. Ripley representing the Board'of Appeals wished to again get the
feeling of the Planning Board re: the petition of Rose Ampolo for permission
to build a road entering on Burlington street which would not leave sufficient
side yard for the house already there. Inasmuch as this would create a very
dangerous traffic hazard and would also make it more difficult to refuse
other requests of a similar nature which might came in later, it was moved
by Mr. Ripley, seconded by Mr. Hathaway, that the Board of Appeals be noti-
fied that the Planning Board would like to see the_varianee denied on the
grounds that it is a distinct traffic hazard. Unanimously voted.
Westgate Builders
Mr. Sylvester and Mr. Thompson appeared for approval of their plans
for Crawford road. Inasmuch as Mr. Taisey had refused connection witty the
other end of Crawford road over his land and there was no objection from Mr.
Burns for a !t0 foot road ending in a cul-de-sac and being renamed, it was
moved by Mr. Ripley, seconded by Mr. Hathaway, that the plan be tentatively
approved as a new road. So voted.
Informal discussion as to matters to be presented to the Selectmen
for consideration at the Fall town meeting. It was suggested that an esti-
mate for a comprehensive survey and funds for same be asked for. This is to
include additional school sites, recreation areas, parks, parking,.etc.;and
that other towns where this has been done be contacted.
