was going to maintain the pond in the future. Ben Osgood answered that it would be
maintained the same way it is now and has been for years. Mr. Noonan responded that
if the character of the pond is changed Mr. ~elinas! figures will not be applicable.
Frank Gelinas stated that the pond is a private piece of property not within the lines
of the subdivision. More discussion.
Mr. Roberts made a motion to DE~Y the subdivision due to the material from the various
Town boards starting with the Highway Surveyor's letter dated October 23, 1978 regarding
reduction of grade at Raleigh Tavern No. The present plans don't concur with these
recommendations; also, traffic flow; Con. Com. letter of October 23, 1978, question of
soil data as far as run-off is concerned, etc.; Bd. of Health letter.; we have not
received any substantial data that losses will not be suffered by the abutters due to
dr~nage, run-off, etc. Mr. Monteiro seconded and vote was unanimous. Mr. Roberts
commented that the evidence shows alo~ of gray areas and the environmental impact should
be cleared up.

The road widening easements were brought up again by Mr. Monteiro. Mr. Oyr said we
don't have them and that a 15 ft. strip along the westerly side of Summer St. should
be upheld. Mr. Gelinas stated that they are not a part of this submittal. Mr.
told him that to the extent that we control certain lots we will do what we can with
road widening.
A motion was made By Mr. Roberts to DE~Y the subdivision on the basis that a great deal
of concern on the par~ of the Highway Surveyor and abutters regarding road conditions
that could cause safety hazards with regard to access and egress to and from the pro-
posed subdivision; some type of ~-~lysis or study of conditions ~hat would occur to
show that road widening easements are not necessary before the Pl~-,ing Board would
recommend this subdivision~ reference made to ~d. of Health letter recfuiring that an
analysis of system designs would have to be presented. Mr. Monteiro seconded and the
