The meeting was called to order at 7:30 by Chairman Bryson with members Campbell, Fowle, Greeley and Riffin, and planning director Zaleski present. Mr. Zaleski informed the Board that a meeting of the C.B.D. revitalization study group with the Selectmen and the Planning Board is scheduled for Sept. 15, 1965 at 8:00 p.m. tentatively at the Battle Green Inn, and a meeting relative to Rte. 2 -Watertown St. interchange will be held at 8:00 p.m. in the Selectmen's office on Sept. 71 1965. Mr. Greeley went to attend the Rte. 2 meeting. Mr. Antonio Busa met with the Board and requested that the Board approve his Green Valley Section 7 subdivision on the condition that lots 5, 6, and 7 therein be restricted for build- ing or sale. The reasons for this are that Circle Rd. would be constructed to the end of the subdivision as it is impractical to construct all but a short portion of it, and the lots 5, 6, and 7 would not be built on or sold until the previously laid out portion of Circle Rd. would be _constructed. The road, all utilities and a temporary turn -around will be constructed and Mr. Busa would give the Town an agreement not to build on, sell or excavate lots 5, 6, and 7. The chairman suggested that 650 ft. should be measured from the beginning of junction of Anthnny Rd. and Lillian Rd. as determined by pervious boards. The Board took Mr. Busa's request under advisement. GREEN VALLEY SEC. 7 A. BUSA The Board next considered Town.
