N. E. Power Co. representative, Turnpike St., N. A., commented that the N. E. Power Co.
land is owned by them and net just an easement. Nr. Chspulis explained that the
purpose of this is so that it will no longer cross their land. The representative
noted the 200 ft. easement on LoS 24A and said that they do not allow any structures
on said easements and questicmed where leechi~ fields and septics will be located.
Mr. Ealogianis told him that they will Be on the l~ztldable portion of Lots 25 & 24A
~i%h nothing on the easement. N. E. Power requested that it be so noted on the plans
and deeds that a particular let would not be l~ldable. NemBer Nonteiro felt that
that would be between N. E. Power and the developer. Mr. Gelinam affirmed that the
leeching systems on these particular loSs would not be within the easements felt it
an erroneous opinion that an "easement", per se, eliminated all building upon
cause each easement specifies exactly what it is for. Nike Roberts disagreed wi~h
Mr. Mon%eiro's pre~ious opinion Because the ~ should be educated as to what is
happening. Mr. Chepulis ~lso felt that it is a private matter between developer and
N. E. Power.
Letters from ~gh~, Fire Dept. were read.
Peter I~uber, 1809 Salem St., said he wa~ very disappointed with the area$ the flood
plain for the are~ is not directed properly; it is a real disaster. Judy S~leaff, 1
Campbell Rd., felt the problem is related to CamPbell l~orest, the drainage problem was
not in existence until Olympic Lane went in.
Joe ~orgesi, ]~W~, requested ~hat the water main run through to Salem St. so there will
be better circulation of wa~er in the sul~iivision.
Bud Oyr stated tha~ we have ~he ownership all the w~y to Salem St. When Olympic Lane
was approved, Ealogianis went to a large ex~enee to pu~ in d~ain~ and it is net
doing the job that was intended. We have to follow these thing~ up to avoid more
problems. ~a~k Gelinas added, that the work being done presently has nothing to do
with the sut~iivision, it has to do with a piece of land in a private cornfield. The
people worked this with the Con. Com. and hms nothing to do with Ingalls Crossing.
There is going to be a subdivision on the land near the pond and it will come to the
Pl~g Board and the Highway ~urveyor. Regarding la~ ~nter, the culver~ under
Salem Bt. was able to take the drainage even under severe oomditions of las~ J~.
Nube~ has an easement on his proper~y and there is a power easement and a stream behind
his house. In the winter thaw the whole area floods and the water from the opposite
July 2, 1~79 - cont.
side of the street flows do~n, alot of erosion, septic systems will fail, he claimed.
Mr. Ring~abl, Salem 3t., presented photos of the area in question and also of Campbell
Forest. Oyr said this flood plain has nothing to do with the m~dification that is
~efore the BOARD. Mr. Ring~bl stated that ~rith more subdivision the drainage is
going to be worse and Mr. Chepulis retorted that, on the other hand, with the proper
drai,age it can be handled.
Upo~ motion by Roberts and second by DiTore to endorse the modification on the plan
of land for Olympic Construction dated Ma~ 7, i1979, revised ~ay 15, 1979 for the
following reasons: the various To~n agencies have no objection and approve %he stated
modification and the 0on. Co~. has no problems with it the vote was unanimons.
CAMPBELL FOREST (T.D.J. DEVELOPME~ CORP.): The legal notice was read. Atty. Reg.
Marden representing; stated 46 lot su~livision, R-2 zoning, 1 acre lots or greater.
Parcel designated #~ is a road relocation parcel which will be deeded to the ~own for
the purpose of straightening the road; propose to run water along Campbell Rd. some
2200 ft. down to Forest Estates and into the Campbell Forest Subdivision.
Mr. Gelinas stated that the land is located on the southerly side of Campbell Rd. with
Road A and Road B 2300 and 2100 ft. in length. 45 dwelling sites; fulfills each of
requirements of the PLANNING ]K~h~D Rules & Regs.. No greater than 6% grade; drainage
designed to accommodate 2 k~-ds offlow - 25 year storm and 100 year storm cute Boston
Brook; existing water lin~ located at intersection of Salem S~. and Campbell Rd., will
Be extended to intersection of proposed Road ]~ and Campbell Rd.; water line will be a
10" dia.; have overall plan to loop Salem S~. with R~e. 1~4; 500 ft. between h~drants.
Temporary cul de sac is proposed to coordinate with future pl~ing; site character-
ized by 3 major features, as shown on tope plan - high areas, extremely large wetlands
to the south and west of the site, wetlands within the subdivision', primarily 4
large ones with some small pockets. There is 'no flow from this subdivision going
into the wetland behind us; sheet flo~ is existing now and will not be altered.
Drainage of roadways is designed to be handled internally by utilizing the wetlands.
No planned alteration of the largest wetlands; they will remove the smaller wetland
'and dredge for storm control. The increased run-off will flo~ into a wetland in the
middle. See detailed drawings sho~n on pg. 6A of proposal.
Letter from Con. Com. dated July 2 was read. 0n file. Frank Gelin__a~ stated that the
applicant realizes that there are wetlands on the property and will file properly
under Ch. 131.
Ch_~___~les Lebel, abutter, asked when this was first conceived and was told about 3 years
ago and that Mr. Kalogianis has been involved i for 1 year. S~ated ~hat his wife's
family owned a '~ood lot" with a ~0 ft. right !of way in from Campbell Rd. Concerned
about his access into his lot if this goes through. Mr. ~elinas explained that they
have star, ed a Land Coum~ process on all this land which will be finished prior to
gr~undbreaking.
~PW and Highway Dept. letters read; on file. Cyr stated that CampBell Rd. has been
declared a public way and the Town would like to upgrade it. We can get it upgraded
By straightening through a gift of A. Ealogianis to the Town, agreed tO extend the
water and Gas. Co. will participate in upgrading the road also. Gas will be extended.
Felt the purpose of developer and the To~n working together for commou betterment is
a good idea. Asked that if the proposal is going to be approved it be dome quickly
in order that it get on the the Con.~o~. because the season is going by fast. Joe
~orgesi added that the developer has agreed to extend the water line to Lyons Nay.
Letter from Fire Dept. was read; requested another hydrant at Lot 39. Board of Health
letter also read and on file.
July2, 1979 - con%
Letter from citizens on Campbell Rd. and S~lem ~t. was read. Also, letter from Oilbert
and ~ue Meyer, 1 Campbell Rd. All referred to drainage, enviro~mentalproblems.
Mr. Hedstrom stated that even though~we can go back and forth on th® drainage, he would
entertain the Con. Oom. ts reo~mnendations as a definitiveword on these problems.
Mary Laohapelle, S~lem St. - felt that they had lost alrea~ly; asked how ~o~ Boeton
~o~ c~d ~e; no ~e listens ~o the pe~le ~d we ~ ~ers; even th~h ~he
~ s~t~lo~s f~e ~paper,~w~t is really goi~o ~ppen? ~11 Rd.
~s ~ ~g o~r for 30 ye~s.
Mr. ~elinas rebutted some of the comments made above - didn't feel that the new develop-
ment would necessarily make an increase in run-off, hie client has no way of putting in
a controlled outlet on Meyer's pond. (Meyer has asked for this and it should be looked
into). ~illing to certify $ha~ %he design will work out.
Mrs. DiTore wan~s the applicant to ~t to~ther with %~ LeVel's to ~fect a ri~t of
w~v.

recapped prior proceedings regarding subdivision~ namely Board of Health letter dated
March 5, ~979 recommending disapproval, ~ubsequent letter d~ted M~y 16, 1~79 was read

piping system which is going to go into the Lake. Also voiced concern regarding the
Watershed. Stern said that based on a file~l trip the Con. Como made due to the appeal
to the State they found cut that an ex~ensive drainage system plan does exis~ but has
.not been brought forward. Oelinas interjected that under public testimony he stated
that the drainage sub~itted~was based on a Eunhardt Drainage Plan~ but conceded that
the records may be insufficient and it may need further s~udy. He felt, though, that
