June 15, 1981 -2- Regular Meeting
Gilman Lane continued
Chairman Hedstrom stated that legally, with the Notice of Intent
filed, the Conservation Commission is approving a plan under Wet-
lands Protection. With that order in place, the Planning Board
cannot do anything about it.
Mr. Cyr stated that the drainage is NOT a brook, it is a drainage
ditch that was built for the purpose of drain~n9 the property.
As far as he is concerned, it is a corner lot and we are doing
nothing but creatin~ a mosquito breeding area which is agains~
the preservation of wetlands. He feels that he has the authority
to control the design of drainage and he wants a legal opinion.
Both Mr. Cyr and Member Nitzsche feel that the drainage has been
modified. Susan St. Pierre disagreed saying that the Conservation
Commission acted on a modification to an approved subdivision
before the Planning Board acted on it.
MOTION:
by Mr. Roberts that the Planning Board notify the applicant
that we have been notified by the Fire Chief that the

been approved and the 6" water lines have been approved
by the Board of Public Works.
