The following members were present and voting: James M. Bannan, Chairman; Robert J. Burke, Secretary; Howard Gilman, George Farley and William Chepulis. PRELIMINARY PLANS FOR SUB-DIVISION: Clinton Goodwin, surveyor & engineer, Mrs. Katherine Osgood and .her two sons were present to present their pre]~m~nary plans for a sub-division of their property off Osgood Street. Mr. Goodwin explained that there are 15.8 acres in the parcel. It is a comparatively ~flat area, heavily wooded and in a desirable sectinn of North Andover. It has a 50-foot long road, with a turnaround - it does not come out on Chickering Road. Each lot has the required frontage and area - there are 20 lots in all. Mr. G~lm~n asked if they intended to use the easement. Mr. Goodwin said they will if they can get permission; and will drain off there. Mrs. Osgood's son said he had already ts~ked to the State. .Mr. Barman said the Board will have to have a letter from the Dept. of Public Works. It takes 4 to 5 weeks to get permission from the State for an entrance. Mr. Osgood said they could connect to Roy Fart on Chickering Road if they can get his permission. Mr. Banyan said they have to meet the Board of Public Work~ ~equirements as to sewer and water. Mr. Goodwin said the run-off would be slow because there is very little pitch. Mr. Goodwin and Mrs. Osgood ~nted to know if the Board wottld be against a turnaround of 1600 feet. They don~t want to go through to Chickering Road. Mr. Barman said we require only a 600 foot turnaround. Mr. Goodwin said the sewer on Andover Street will take care of some lots. The Chickering Road sewer, according to Mr. Duffy, is not of sufficient size. He is rather against that connection. Mr. Duffy suggested putting in a pump. The Town maintains the pump when they accept the street. This would mean having two p~es along the street. They would rather go into the Chickering Road sewer if possible. Atty. John Willis was present for another matter, but he spoke as a member of the North Andover Board of Public Works. He said the B.P.W. won't allow any easements - public sewers over private land. Mr. Burke said it would be more feasible to connect to the sewer than to have the town stuck with a pumping station. Mr. Willis suggested to Mr. Goodwin that he come before the Board of Public Works at their meeting if he is not satisfied with what Mr. Duffy says. Mr. Goodwin said they will come in from Osgood Street for water. He asked if the Board would accept the street as shown on the preliminary plans. Mr. Bannan suggested that they consult the B.P.W. on the sewer, get a report from them. We can set up a hearing and in the meantime he will have to find out about the length of the turnaround. Mr. Goodwin read a part of the Sub-division Rules and Regulations which stated that it is at the discretion of the Pla~ntug Board regarding length of turnarounds, etc. 0etober 5, 1964 - Cont. Mr. Burke said thet as far as he was concerned there was no problem about the road. Mr. Barman said there is as far as he's concerned and he will find out how far we can go. Mr. Goodwin said the turnaround is about 300 feet from Chickering Road. There are about 28 feet from the corner of the Filetti land to Chickering Road and they would need an easement, which they think is impossible to get. They dontt want the road out to Chickering Road. Mr. Gilman made a motion to set the hearing date for Monday evening, November 2, 1964 at 7:30 P.M. Mr. Burke seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. SIGNED PLANS: Atty. John Willis presented plans to the Board to be signed as not requiring Planning Board approval. He then requested the Board for a release of MeadowLane. A letter was received from the Board of Public Works advising the Board that the installation of water m~ins, gate valves and hydrant and sanitary se~ermains and~suholes on Nartin Avenue off Meadow Lane have been installed satisfactorily to them. Mr. Bann~n said the Board needs a letter from the Highway Dept. about Meadow~ane. ~. B~nuan signed a partial release f~rMr. Willis. A short discussion was held about re-zoning, etc. Mr. Bannan said provisions should be made for having zoning maps made and get an appropriation for it. MASS. FED.
