The following members w~re present and voting: Fritz Ostherr, Chairman; William N. Salem~e, Clerk; Paul R. Lamprey; and John J. Monteiro. Minutes of Sept. 13, 20, & 27 were unanimously approved as received upon motion of Mr. Monteiro and second by Mr. Salemme. PRELIMINARY PLANS DISCUSSION - INGALLS CROSSING (George Chongris): The landis situated off Salem St. and consists of 40 lots. Letter from Highway Surveyor dated Feb. 22, 1977 was read and is on file. Letters from BPW and Fire Chief ~xe also read and are on file. There are 3 cul de sacs on the property. Mr. Ostherr felt that the 2 cul de sacs spur- ring out should come out to Salem St. and the proposed road not be there at all. Tenta- tive approval of the subdivision was recommended by the Subdivision Control Subcommittee. Frank Gelinas showed the BOARD a sketch as a result of their meeting on the site. This sketch showed the roads and he explained that Chongris does not own lots D & E.but there has been an agreement with N_rs. Thompson that they could cut through there. Mr. Cyr questioned the road easement going through Lot ~6; requested Mr. Gelinas to locate where it would come out on the ro~d and emphasized the referral in his letter to open space, green belts and drainage. He commented that we are not getting the culverts on the plan as should be and Mr. Ostherr reminded him that this is only a preliminary plan. Mr. Gelinas pointed out that when you are on sanitary sewer there will be no development within 100 ft. so this will remain a green area. A motion was made by the Subdivision Control Subcommittee that Alternate #1 (plan) be added to the preliminary submission and approval of this and letters from Highway Dept., BPW and Fire be incorporated into the tentative approval. The vote on the motion was una!~imous. STONECLEAVE ESTATES (B~rco Corp.): Letter from Mr. Cyr dated Feb. 22, 1977 was read. Letters from Fire Chief and BPW were also read. It was noted that Lots 23 & 24 would have the necessary area withcor without the easement. The Chairman stated that rather than the Town require easements for future road extension we would specify that they put a roadway "left to be built in the future" and in that was it would be Town property. Much discussion re "easements" vs.'~uture roads"; no conclusions. Mr. 0stherr mentioned that the Town ought to take advantage of any ponding for a stand- pipe hydrant and suggested that a standpipe for fire fighting purposes at Station 9 be shown and that the feasibility of another one at the terminus of the road be investigated for the definitive plan. With the inclusion of the letters from Town Depts., standpipe requirements and trying to show~iroadway easements as roads not to be built at this time the motion was made and seconded by the Subdivision Control Subcommittee to tentatively approve the plans. The vote was unanimous. Charles Foster questioned whether or not it could be approved without ~own water. Frank Gelinas said it is the Town's responsibility to provide water. MUNROE ZONING ARTICLE: Schedule a public hearing for the Article and direct the Secretary to, confirm the fact that the Article is in the Warrant with wording they have. Hearing to be held on March 23st. LYNCH ARTICLE FOR TOWN MEETING: Public hearing scheduled for March 21st. Feb. 22, ~977 - cont. MARY~NITAGE - Re Tributaries: Mr. 0stherr stated that he was undecided whether or not it should be a Town Ordinance via the Bo~d_ of Health or whether it should come in through~ a Warrant article as part of the Zoning By Law. It would be difficult to get it under zoning until delineation of entire watershed is official, said Mr. Gelinas. Also, the Board of Health could very easily enforce it on an "as they come" basis and they could pass an ordinance on the basis of the protection of the Water Supply. A motion was made by Mr. Monteiro that the text of Mrs. Armitage's article be sponsored by the PLAN- NING BOARD. Mr. Salem~eseconded and the vote was unanimous. PLANI~: Job description received from No. Reading.

CYR - GRANVILLE LAN~ DISCUSSION: Stated that people are moving in prior to completion of the streets. Mr. Chepulis felt the realtors should be made to be truthful with the buyer. Mr. Foster said that as long as they meet the Building Codes and Zoning he has to issue an occupancy permit. Mr. Cyr felt there was something wrong ~omewhere because Granville and Turtle Hill are not approved ways; he is getting calls to pick up rubbish and plow; as far as he is concerned there is no one living there but he took a ride down there and there is temporary wiring and an open ditch still existing since last fall. Mr. Monteiro voiced concern that it could be a health hazard. GROSVENORAVE. - Mr. Cyr said they haven't done one single thing and that they sold the Town a bill of goods. Mr. Ostherr suggested that when a bond is ~ubstituted for a covenant to specify that no occupancy permit shall be issued until the ways and utilities are completed to the BOARD'3 sm~isfaction.
