Mr. Davies, DAC, will give advice as to opinions on cul-de-sac sidewalk construction in other communities, and Mrs. Brown will prepare a memorandum on possible Town policy change to be sent to other Town Boards. Town Counsel will be asked if surety can be provided by current residents, to ensure sidewalk construction in the future should need arise. Mr. Briggs explained the proposal of Dr. Lucas to divide a 3 acre tract at Bushnell Drive into two lots, for construction of an additional house (which would have insufficient frontage) and a driveway. The members were in general agreement that if Dr. Lucas petitions the Bd. of Appeals for variance on frontage require- ments, the Board would not oppose. The TAMS plans for Bedford St. improvements were reviewed and discussed. The Planning Director was instructed to prepare a letter to the Board of Selectmen (for Dr. Clarke's approval), reiterating the Planning Board position that a service road be constructed to benefit the existing residence in the affected area. Mr. Briggs will also provide the Selectmen with information and documentation as to the specifics of the 200 foot setback re- quirement on Bedford St. The meeting adjourned at 11:30 p.m. PaulJ. cKenzie, Clerk page 2 5.13.74 FARMHURST V EXTENSION OAK PARK II SIDEWALKS DR.
