Mr. Mooradkanian brought to this meeting the additional copies of the
new map. The me~bers were very interested a discussion was held as
to ways and means of preserving these maps. Mr. Mooradkanian has hand
colored one of the maps showing in different colors the various parts

The plans for the layout of Hemlock Street were presented to the
Board. This matter has been held in abeyance since ~e~tember,9~?19~9.
when these plans were originally presented to the Board for approval.
Due to the fact that these plans were not complete'on the date ef
first presentation, the discussion of this matter was held ~,er until
October 7, 1949. At that time a letter had been sent by this Board to
the State Board of Public Works asking for information regarding any
rules or regulations to be observed, since this street will open out
on to Massachusetts Avenue, which is a State Highway. Mr. Carmello
Gioco, who presented the application for approval had paid a visit to
the State' s office in Beverly and had received permit to eliminate
the two extra catch basins which had previously been reco~aended by
that office. At the time that the letter had been sent to the State
Board's office, no plan had been sent and they rel~01ied to sugge$~
that two extra catch basins be placed 250 feet from the entrance
to Massachusetts Avenue. However, when Mr. Gioco visited the office
he took p~lns with him and since this strip is quite level the State
January 19, 1950 CONT:
Board of .Public Works gave him oral permission to omit them. The
Board felt however, that this should be given in writing and that
it be made part of the Board' s records for future reference. Mr.
Gioco explained this in Beverl~ and at this date there is a letter
from the State Board of Public W~rks dated January 10, 1950, and
stating that since veiwing the plans that recommendation has been
recinded. The suggestion now reads that "Not more than 300 feet
of gutter drainage reach each of these basins on the surface".
The catch basins re~erred to in this letter are to be placed at
the entrance of Hemlock Street onto Massachusetts Avenue and the
exact positiom for' them is to be determined by the State Board of
Public Works. There then arose a question before the Board that
if approval was given this layout of Hemlock Street, would they
also be approving the lots shown on this street as shown on the
plans. Mr. Whipple stated that he would look this matter up at
the Registry and find if this development had been recorded
previous to this application and this matter was taken under advise-
ment until the Boards next meeting on February 6, 1950.
Motion was then made and seconded and it .was VOTED that in the
future, the Planning Board would hold two meet-~-~ per month.
On the first and th~rd Mondays of the month. The first Monday
to be for Public Hearings and the third Monday for discussion and
planning.
Motion was mad~e and seconded and it was VOTED to ad. Journ.
Meeting adjourned at 9:55 P.M.
