Meeting of the Board of Survey convened in Room 16, Municipal
Building at 7:35 P . M.
Present were Chairman Cowell, Secretary Wood, Board Members
DeHart, Fallon, Barker and Clerk of the Board Louanis.
It was moved, seconded and voted to accept the minutes of the
previous meeting as corrected.
Chairman Cowell, at the previous meeting, had requested that any
decision concerning Latham Lane be postponed until such time as the
Clerk of the Board was available, and since Mr. Louanis was present
the Board met with 0 . Bradley Latham, Esquire, Peter Ogren of Hayes
Engineering and Mr . Albert Symes developer of property on Latham
Lane. Attorney Latham stated that to his knowledge no where in the
Board of Survey Rules and Regulations did it state that a cellar
floor be at an elevation where it could be sewered. Chairman Cowell
stated that in his tenure on the Board he was not aware of a variance
in cellar floor elevations being granted and that was why he wished
Mr. Louanis to be present. Mr. Louanis offered that other develop-
ments in Town have received approval from the Board of Survey and
do not have an elevation which could be sewered: the main reason
for setting cellar floor elevations is to insure a dry basement, as
the Board of Survey relates to wetlands and water table. Mr. Ogren
assured the Board the rear of the properties involved was two to
three feet lower than the elevation requested for cellar floors there-
fore drainage would not be a problem. It was moved, seconded and
voted 5:0 to reconsider the matter. Mrs. Wood moved to grant the
variance proposed by Symes Associates for the modification of plans
for cellar floor elevations on Latham Lane as follows: Lot 3 - 189.5
Lot 4 - 190.0, Lot 5 190.5 , Lot 6 - 191.0 with the stipulation that
Mr . Latham record each elevation on each Purchase and Sales Agree-
ment andon each deed .
It was moved, seconded and voted 5:0 to adjour at 8 :30 P .M.
