July 12, 1966 - Cont.
Mr. Burke made a motion to approve the change in the Whittier plan giving one lot
back to Whittier. Mr. Gilman seconded the motion - All of the members signed the
plans. Mr. Che~,lis felt that all members' should sign the plan so that there
would be proof that the Planning Board took action on the plan since it did not
require Planning Board approval. A copy of the plan will be attached to the original
subdivision plan to show the modification that was made concerning that one particular
lot.
The Board members then proceeded to discuss the hearing held earlier for John J.
Segadelli. They read the letter received from the Board of Public Works. They
discussed the turnaround and whether it should be hot-topped completely or partially
grassed, or trees. The Board felt that if it was hot-topped completely it would
be better for plowing, etc. They also said that the corner Just before the
turnaround should be hot-topped.
Mr. Gil-~n made a motion to accept the plans subject to the same conditions that
usually apply and that the turnaround be completely hot-topped and the corner
before the turnaround hot-topped.
Mr. Burke seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
