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. VALLEYFIELD ST. The minutes of the Planning Board meeting of February 3, 1969 were approved.
