Present were Chairman Price, Secretary Cowell , Board Mem-
bers Testa, DeHart and Wood- and Clerk of the Board E. Roger

Chairman Price introduced members of the Board to the
residents in attendance and requested Secretary Cowell read
the Notice of Public Hearing. Chairman Price then announced
the procedure to be followed would be a presentation by the
developer and/or his engineer, comments and questions by the
Board and finally the meeting would be opened to general dis-
cussion with the public. Mr. Peter Ogren of Hayes Engineering,
representing the developer, Aurele Cormier stated that since
the last hearing several possible options had been viewed and
discussed with the Engineering Department and the Board of
Survey. The plan presented this evening indicates the area
will be developed by entering the property at Lowell Street
and a short cul -de-sac to the left, while the main street
will end in a large cul-de-sac toward the end of Margaret Road.
The plan consists of twenty-five house lots and 40,000 square
feet will not be used but will be turned over to the Town in
the interest of protecting the well field. Mr. Ogren indicated
there would be an emergency entrance between Lot 16 and Lot 17
with a security gate at either end. Mr. Ogren indicated the
roadway had been reduced from 50� to 401 layout and requested
approval of sidewalk construction on only one side of the road-
way, preferablythe southerly side.Th& o rd took no c ion.

connected to preclude surface water entering the wetland to the
north. The Board indicated they had no problem with the pro-
posed plan. Mr. Ives of 451 Lowell Street pointed out several
areas of dissatisfaction: residue from the salt-sanding of the
new streets in the winter infiltrating the well field; incorrect
name on the notice of public hearing since the new street will
obviously not be named Margaret Road, and questioned who would
bear the cost of lowering the level of the sewer . Chairman
Price stated this was merely a continuation of a preliminary
hearing and when the notice of the final hearing is posted and
published it will be done with a new and proper name. Superin-
tendent Louanis stated the Department of Public Works use a
separate sanding truck to sand all the streets around the peri-
meter of the well field and that no salt is used in the area.
Chairman Price informed Mr. Ivas the developer will bear the
cost of altering the level of the sewer lines. Following further
general discussion Mr. Cowell moved, it was seconded and voted
to close the hearing. Mr. Hunsaker came forward and thanked the
Board of Survey and Mr. Louanis, Superintendent of the Board of
Public Works, for the time and effort spent in the interest of
the residents living in the area surrounding the proposed new
development. Mr. Cowell moved to postpone action on the plan
until later in the evening and Mrs. Wood seconded. A short dis-
cussion ensued, the motion was withdrawn and Mr. Cowell moved,
Mrs. Wood seconded and it was voted to approve the proposed
concept of the plan as presented by Mr. Ogren of Hayes Engineer-
ing for Mr. Aurele Cormier, developer of land off Margaret Road.
Meeting adjourned at 8:55 P.M. '
