1. Sherwood Homes:
The definitive plan had been submitted to the Board on June 12th. The Board
looked over the plans and agreed that no significant difference existed betweeu the
preliminary plan discussed at the hearing and the definitive plan subsequently ~ub-
mitted.
A letter was read from John Shields as to the recommendations and requirements sent
to h~m by the Highway Dept. regarding the roadway.
Mr. Gilman made a motion to defer any decision ore.the High~ay Dept. Is recommendations
until an opinion is received from Town Counsel as to conflict of powers and juris-
diction. The Highway Surveyor does not have the authority to tell the developers what
has to be done. He has to go by the Subdivision Rules and Regulations that are in
effect.
Upon studying the plans submitted, the Board discussed the turnaround and the
possibility of extending the roadway to the lot line since there is still alot of
empty land abutting for future possible developments and the roadways could connect.
Mr. Bannan made a motion that the turnaround be extended to the lot line so that if
a future developer comes in he may connect with another road. There was further
discussion held on the motion. Mr. Chepulis seconded the motion.
Mr. Burke and Mr. G~l,~ questioned the advisability of extending the roadway. They
feel that Mr. Shields should a~ meet with them and they can talk everyth4ng over.

has 60 days in which to make a decision. Withhold any action pending further complete
detail being submitted to the Board . Mr. Burke seconded the motion and the vote
