As an abutter to the proposed project, I have several questions and concerns regarding this project as it impacts my lot and the immediate surrounding area. My neighbor, Rick Green, has submitted a comments document with specific references to Jean Enright and has asked that the document be forwarded to the Planning Board. My husband and I share the same concerns as outlined in his letter, As I mentioned previously, neither my husband Brian nor I am able to attend the Town Planning Meeting this evening, Tuesday July 24, as we have a prior commitment. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.

The plans for the definitive subdivision show seven(7)proposed lots with no existing dwelling, 5.4.4.1 Natural Environment: • f. Sewage Disposal Will all of the residents of North Cross,Rea Street and South Cross Streets be serviced by the new pumping station including the homes on Rea Street towards the Summer Street end. Can the sewer be extended to pick up#356 and#357 Rea Street as wet[,as these will be the only 2 homes on this section of Rea Street not serviced by sewer. 5.4.4.3 Public Services • f. Traffic Has any traffic analysis been performed to show the impact of the connection of Rea Street from the Abbott Street side to the North Cross side? This connection will generate more traffic than just the average daily trips from the propose'l seven(7)new lots. Additionally, consideration should be given to installing a stop sign at the interection of Rea Street with Abbott Street at 344 Abbott Street. There are countless vehicles who turn cast on Rea Street at this intersection trying to reach the higher number homes on Rea Street following their GPS. The intersection of Rea Street at#344 Rea Street will become more unsafe than it is now with the new subdivision; traffic control signage is needed. There are three(3)homes,#329,#344 and 1356 Rea Street that have young children that play on Rea Street. Construction vehicles will need to use extreme caution on this section of roadway if this area will be used to access the unimproved section of Rea Street, Construction Sequence • Installation of utilities and restoration of existing Rea Street and Abbott Street is not included in this sequence. • Will access to#344,#351,#356 and 057 be restricted during construction, or will access be maintained for residents and emeregency personnel? i i Definitive Subdivison Plaits General • Why is there no legend on the drawings?
