The Board discussed the preliminary subdivision plan submitted by
Benjamin Franklin Homes, Inc. on June 8, 1970. Upon a motion duly
made and seconded, it was VOTED:
If no written request for withdrawal is received prior to
August 3, 1970, the preliminary subdivision plan is disapproved
for the following reasons:
1. The plan does not show public open areas which the Board would
require in a subdivision of this size.
2. The plan does not take into account approved town plans for
acquisition of portions of the land shown in the subdivision.
3. The plan does not show due regard for the preservation of
natural features, such as water courses in particular.
4. The Board at the present time has insufficient information to
determine the effect of the drainage proposed on areas upstream
and downstream from existing brooks within the subdivision.
