Meeting of the Board of Survey convened in Room 16, Municipal
Building at 7: 52 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 submitted.
The Board reviewed memorandum from Assistant Superintendent
William Bergeron regarding the definitive plan of Sanborn Village
in which it was pointed out that the Board must act on the sub-
division by December 1 , 1980, that the revised drainage plan was
not in compliance with the Board of Survey Rules and Regulations,
Section 5:C:4 which states, "All surface drainage shall terminate
into flowing water or into a ditch connected to flowing water except
when, in the opinion of the Board, such termination is underairable.
Sufficient easements must be procured to comply with this
require-ment." Also, the drainage computation has not been submitted and the
. temporary easement for construction from Cedar Glen has not been
obtained . Mr . John Rivers appeared before the Board to discuss
the problems with the proposed subdivision. It was his opinion
that a drainage easement was not necessary since he was directing
all his drainage toward the flood plain zone created by the Town for
that purpose even though the water would have to cross land owned
by Mr . Butcher. He also stated the drainage calculations had been
submitted late this afternoon and the easement from Cedar Glen was
expected to be forthcoming before December let. After considerable
discussion , Mrs. Wood moved, it-was seconded and voted to table action
until December 1, 1980.
The Superintendent reported to the Board that Mr. Charles Wills
had requested the Board' s opinion on the partial subdivision of the
Small Farm. The parcel lies between Haverhill Street and Field Pond
Drive and they propose to extend Field Pond Drive in an easterly
direction and to develop four lots with a future plan for the ex-
tension of Field Pond Drive to Haverhill Street. The reason for
this request is because the present owner, Mrs. Small, wishes to
keep the land abutting Haverhill Street as the family estate and
sell off the four back lots. The Superintendent pointed out that ,
Field Pond Drive is already over the 900 ' length set by the Board
of Survey Rules and Regulations and that if the extension was
approved for the four lots it would reduce the possibility of
the future extension of Field Pond Drive to Haverhill Street be-
cause of the economics of extending the road for a few lots and
three lots could be created on Haverhill Street without a Board
of Survey hearing and/or approval . After a general discussion, it
was agreed to notify Mr. Wills that the Board was not in agreement
with the proposal .
Meeting adjourned at 7:52 P . M.
