The letter to the Board of Selectmen, re. Lot 26 (44) Valleyfield St., LOT 26 (44)
dated April 6, was discussed by the Board. The Board voted to send the VALLEYFIELD
letter, retyped, with the first two paragraphs only, stating that it is STREET
still the recommendation of the Planning Board that this lot be not sold
because of the possibility of its use for a "scattered site" subsidized
house. Should the Selectmen nevertheless wish to sell either Lot 26 (44)
or Lot 24 (42) on the other side of Mr. Masciulli's Lot 25, either of
these lots could be combined with Lot 25, but should not be sold as a
separate building lot.
The Board agreed that the contents of the third paragraph, concerned
with discussing with the Selectmen the selling of single tax title lots
for subsidized housing, may be considered separately after Town Meeting.
The Board reviewed the plan submitted with the application Form A71-4, FORM A71-4
dated April 1, 1971 by Doris S. Stone, Agent for Eleanor L. Ross, show- PAUL REVERE ROAD
