Trombly, Jr., Chairman; Donald N. Keirstead, Vice Ch.; Fritz Ostherr, Clerk and William Chepulis. John Monteiro was unable to attend. MATSES SUBDIVISION: Frank Rullo, representing Mass. Electric Co.t requested partial release of the covenant of Charles Matses' subdivision on Sutton Street, as to lot #3 on Charles Street. Atty. John Willis and Charles Matses were also present. Mr. Willis explained that it is an approved subdivision by the Planning Board. The turnaround has not been completed; water and sewer have been installed and the road has been hot-topped and completed as far as lot ¢/3. At one time Mr. Nicetta was in disagreement as to the size of the drain, but there is no drainage problem in the area. Mass. Electric Company wants to build a sub-station on lot #3 and when they applied for a building permit could not obtain it because the lot had not been released by the Planning Board. Mr. Matses said the road is 2/3 complete and that he would post a bond in lieu of the covenant. The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District Comm. now owns the road and they will finish it. Letters were received from the Board of Public Works and Highway Dept. Mr. Keirstead made a motion to send a letter to the Highway Surveyor for a report on the present condition of the road and the drains. Mr. Matses explained that there is a problem at the drains to the road. Mr. Keirstead feels that a bond should be posted if the release is to be made soon without getting a report from Mr. Nicetta. Mr. Matses said he would post a $2,500 bond. Mr. Keirstead made a motion for the partial release of covenant con- ditional upon the Board's accepting properly executed security for the lot immediately north of the parcel on which is shown the United Parcel building, and containing 55t500 sq. ft. Mr. Chepulis amended the motion to further describe the lot as shown on "Plan of Land in NorthAndover entitled Sutton Industrial Park, dated March 4, 1968"; Mr. Ostherr seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. Mr. Keirstead made a motion to write a letter to theHighway Surveyor to ask for a report on the condition of Charles Street, Sutton Industrial Parkt as far as the turnaround. LOUIS MILLER, Saunders St. Mr. Miller and his daughter appeared before the Board to ask for clarification of the zoning of his land near Saunders Street. He was always under the impression that it was zoned industrial and now he finds out it is residential. He has garages and his carpenter's workshop where his business has been conducted for many years. He has a 14-ft. right of way to his land but has no frontage on a street; it has been this way for 27 years. He wants to know what he can do with his land now. Upon checking the By-law, the Board found that his area is described as being in an industrial area but is shown on the map as residential. The matter was taken under advisement. July 5, 1972 - cont. GEORGE FARR SUBDIVISION: George Fart was present. The Board had viewed the subdivision area and found it to be very wet. A letter was received from the Highway Surveyor listing recommendations.

Mr. Keirstead made a motion to refer the copy of P.U.D. to Mr. Ostherr and at the next meeting, have him submit definite recommendations as to the course of action. Relative to the Subdivision Rules and Regulations, Mr. Keirstead would like to notify the people that would be interested and report on it in September.
