Mr. Emilio Spagnuola, treasurer of Kingston Homes, Inc. met with the
Board to discuss the drainage problem and a change in the layout of
the subdivision on Ingleside Rd. off Maple St. Mr. Spagnuola asked
whether it would be acceptable to the Board if the Ingleside subdivision
were revised so that Ingleside Rd. would terminate in a cul-de-sac near
the land of Benjamin Franklin Homes, rather than connect to it. He said

an easement to drain the low portion of the Ingleside subdivision into
the brook on the Benjamin Franklin Homes' land. Board members agreed

asking for Planning Board recommendations regarding a proposed bridge
