cipal Building at 7:40 P. M.
Present were Chairman Dustin, Secretary Price, Board Members

Minutes of the previous meeting were accepted as submitted.
Read letter from John R. Rivers, President of Riverside
Homes, Inc. wherein he requests a further reduction in the
three-way-agreement with the Town of Reading on Riverside Drive,
on Phase I . The Superintendent reported that the granite curb
has been installed but the bituminous concrete sidewalk, loam
and seeding and the back-up area of the sidewalk are incomplete.
It was moved, seconded and voted to deny the request for the
reduction in the agreement until such time as the sidewalk area
is completely constructed.
Meeting adjourned and reconvened at 8:00 P.M. following a
meeting as the Board of Public Works.
Secretary Price read Notice of Public Hearing relative to
the application for approval as a subdivision the property of
Parkwood Construction Corporation and Donald F. Johnston, Inc.
Approximately thirty-five people attended the Hearing. Peter
Ogren of Hayes Engineering, Inc. Melrose, Me. represented the
developers and explained that the plan was to extend Haystack
Road ending the street in a cul-de-sac, as opposed to going
through to South Street as originally planned. Milepost Road
now connects with Hopkins Street and affords an acceptable
traffic pattern for the area. Mr. Russell questioned the width
of the proposed extension and was assured by Mr. Ogren that the
street was indeed 501 wide and that the plan did conform to all
the Board of Survey Rules and Regulations. A show of hand in-
dicated that all in attendance were in favor of the proposed
cul -de-sac. Mr. Price then moved, it was seconded and voted
to approve the Definitive Plan of Haystack Road (Revision) as
prepared by Hayes Engineering of Melrose, Ma. , and dated October
6, 1978.
Meeting adjourned at 8:40 P. M.
