Bonny Lane - Submittal of drainage plan
David Devendorf and Richard Jones were present. They submitted
the proposed drainage plan to the Board.
Letters from the Board of Health, the Highway Surveyor, and B&R
Construction were read and placed on file. (Bd. of Health -
8/18/82; Highway Surveyor - 8/16/82; B&R Const. - 8/10/82).
Mr. Devendorf made the following points:
The Farnum's (buyers of one of the lots) will be forwarding
a letter to the Planning Board and will seek permission from
the Highway Surveyor and work with him on the drain.
The developer of the subdivision, Scott Follansbee, has a
problem because he has done work on the road and none of the
monies have been released for his work. He is concerned that
when B&R Construction puts in the drain, he will want a release
of responsibility.
On the easement, the Farnum's do not wish to grant an easement
to the Town, but if they have to, they will.. They would rather
take care of it themselves.
Member Nitzsche added that this should be a 12" concrete drain
and the invert at the Bonny Lane catch basin should be 144.36.
MOTION: by Mr. Burke that the Planning Board grant permission
with the conditions outlined in the Board of Health and
the Highway Surveyor's letters and that the invert be
located at 144.36 if agreeable with the Highway Surveyor
and that the depth of the easement be reviewed by the
Highway Surveyor and the Planning Board.

Willows Street - Set bond figures Form A lot
Letters from the Board of Public Works dated 8/23/82 and the
Highway Surveyor dated 8/20/82 were read and placed on file.
The BPW recommended $215,000 and the HS recommended $204,750.
Atty. Andrew Caffrey was present for 114 Associates. A dis-
cussion followed between Atty. Caffrey, Town Planner Pomroy,
Mr. Benjamin Osgood, and several abutters.
Town Planner said she is upset because the Planner did not have
a set of plans or any information regarding this situation.
She wants documentation from the Highway Surveyor and the Board
of Public Works stating that they have plans available and that
they will monitor the development.
Member Nitzsche added that we have a conceptual plan showing the
proposed water and sewer. The BPW has not received plans for a
pump station. Mr. Osgood responded that the off-site improvements
going down the highway have been approved byl the BPW and they
requested a permit from the State which has been granted. The
lift station is in the process of being designed. They (114
Associates) are in the process of working with the property owners
to see if they want to tie in to the lift station.
Note: The date on the plan is wrong, and was corrected and
initialed by Richard Kaminski, engineer.
Mr. Jack McLay spoke for the abutters and voiced his disappointment
that the neighbors were not notified that development was going
on. Town Planner Pomroy explained that because this is a Form A
lot, it is not necessary to notify the abutters.
Mr. Lou Kmiec also expressed his concerns about drainage.
MOTION:
by Mr. Burke to accept the bond figures for Willow Street
as outlined by the Board of Public Works and the Highway
Surveyor with the plans dated 8/3/81, revised 7/30/82 and
8/19581 (should be 1982), with a completion date of
September 1, 1982.

ber 30, 1982.

August 23, 1982 -3- Regular Meeting
French Farm Village - sewer design
A letter from the Board of P'ublic Works dated 8/3/82 was read.
Mr. Borgesi stated in the letter that work is taking place with-
out an approved sewer design.
Frank Gelinas, engineer, responded that the problem has not been
resolved because Mr. Borgesi has been away. He said the developer
is participating with the BPW is is completely surprised by the
letter.
The Board instructed the Town Pl'anner to forward a letter to the
BPW statinq that the Planning Board spoke to the developer and
the engineer on 8/23/82 and they understand that they are working
at their own peril and that they are willing to work with the BPW
to relieve the situation and that the applicant and the engineer
have informed the Planning Board that they have been working with
theBPW.
Raleigh Tavern Lane request for new release form and discussion
of street name change
On the release form, the Board wants to wait for the Chairman.
On the street name,' the Highway Surveyor has suggested changing
from Raleigh Tavern North and South to just Raleigh Tavern Lane.
A letter from Town Counsel dated 7/27/82 was read. He stated
that the Selectmen gave the Planning Board the responsibility.
The letter referred to MGL, Chapter 85, Sections 3A and 3B and
Chapter 40A.
The Board discovered that the definitive plan says Raleigh Tavern
Lane which means that a street name change is not necessary.
The Board instructed the Town Planner to notify all town departments
that the change is not necessary to clear up any confusion.
The meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
