PLANNING BOARD MEETING
February 10, 1969
The meeting of the Planning Board was called to order by
chairman Lund at 3:30 p.m. instead of the scheduled 7:30 p.m.
due to snow emergency. Mrs. Riffin, Messrs. Clarke, Fowle,
and planning director Zaleski were present.
The Board discussed the retention by the Valleyfield Trust
of a portion of their land near Valleyfield St., so as to reduce
the cost of the land to be acquired by the Town for conservation.
- .. Mr. Fowle stated that in his opinion supplying Valleyfield Trust
with sketches showing land which may be retained was not in the
best interests of the town. Mr. Norman Richards came in at this
point and the chairman explained to him that the sketches do not
represent the thinking of the Board. The planning director ex-
plained that the area of land to be retained is shown as about
10-11 acres and the land to be acquired is about 16 acres. Under
the circumstances Mr. Richards felt that he didn't need the plans.
