Mr. Cyr thinks it should go diagonally from the lot which is unbuildable over to the 18" drain. The Conser- vation Commission has asked that it continue to run in to the present ditching which goes to the left and makes a 90 degree turn to the lot line. Mr Cyr does not agree with this. Mr; Cone added that the Conservation Commission is standing fast on this. Also, the lot is being deeded to the town and the Con. Com. does not want the lot disturbed. Mr, Cyr added that it will be more desirable for the people who will live there to. have a free running swale. The Board instructed the Town Planner to set up a meeting with members of the Con. Com., Mr. Cone, t.he Planner, and the Planning Board to try to resolve the problem. INGALLS CROSStNG I Mr. Arthur Kalogianis was present. The Planning Board requested that he pave the cul-de-sac.
