Present were Chairman Dustin, Secretary Price, Board Members
Russell , Cowell and Testa and Superintendent Louanis. The Finance

The Board of Survey reviewed letter of October 25, 1978 from
the Law Office of Latham and Latham regarding proposed building
of a house on Lot 38 Timberneck Drive owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Doherty. The letter stated the property in question was in the
Flood Plain District and an application to the Board of Appeals
for a special permit under the Zoning By-Law 4.4.4.2 "If any
land shown on the Zoning Map or defined in the By-Laws as being
in a Flood Plain District is proven to be in fact neither subject
to flooding nor unsuitable for human occupancy because of drain-
age and topographic conditions, and if the use of such land will
not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, the
Board of Appeals may permit buildings for human occupancy on such
land in accordance with the requirements of the underlying district
after the necessary proof has been presented to and reported on by
the Board of Survey and the Board of Health." The Superintendent
reported to the Board that he did not feel that the applicant had
submitted sufficient information on which the Board could take
action and suggested that the applicant' s lawyer be informed that
a report by an engineer would be necessary before the Board could
take action. It was moved, seconded and voted to instruct the
Superintendent to so notify the law firm.
Meeting adjourned at 7:50 P.M.
