Ledgelawn Avenue
Nineteen citizens in the neighborhood of Ledgelawn avenue were present
for discussion re: Ledgelawn Ave. Mr. James J. Dolan, 17 Hamilton Rd., speak-
ing for the group stated that the neighborhood was disturbed because Ledgelawn
avenue was apparently being opened through. This they feared would result in
an increase in both heavy and speedy traffic with resulting danger to their
children. There was considerable discussion. One suggestion was that a road
block be put across the street. The group was advised that it was not in the
power of the Planning Board to erect road blocks. The matter was taken under
advisement and Mr. Dolan will be advised of the result of consideration.
It was suggested that Mr. Snow talk with Mr. Burns about the 140' ease-
ment, and with Mr. Friel to find out if he had granted any rights in the rough
road and what his intentions were in regard to finishing the street.
Lincoln Terrace
Mr. Stevens stated that he had sent a letter to Mr. James A. Carrig ad-
vising that easement of Mrs. Carrig granted to the town in connection with sub-
division of land on Lincoln Terrace related only to the water main. He has pre-
pared a new instrument conveying a similar easement for sanitary sewer which
had been installed. He has received the transfer of title and therefore pre-
pared for the Planning Board a certificate of approval certifying that the work
performed by Jags A. Carrig as provided in the agreement of Sept. 21, 1953 has
been completed to the satisfaction of the Town Engineer and is approved. A
majority of the Board signed the certificate Oct. 25, 1954.
Silva
W. Stevens stated that Mr. Joseph Silva of Sunr;yknoll Terrace had
executed an agreement conveying to the Town of Lexington a perpetual easement
for water pipes in Sunriyknoll Terrace and granting to the town the water pipes
and appurtenances which are now in the street. Mr. Stevens prepared a certifi-
cate of performance which a majority of the Planning Board signed on Oct. 25,
19514 certifying that the ways and other improvements called for by the condi-
tional approval contract executed by Joseph Silva, dated April 12, 19511., have
been constructed and installed in accordance with the terms of the agreement
which releases the lots from restrictions against selling and building.
Conroy
Referring to Mr. Conroyls request for change in street address, W. Snow
stated that he had found that the street referred to was really a continuation
of Veins Ave. and could be back-numbered 1, 2 and 4. Moved by Mr. Hathaway,
seconded by Mr. Jaquith and so
VOTED: that the Board rescind the vote of the last meeting which sug-
gested the street be named "Way" at.
