through his property. Mr. Latham stated the area will be developed into

Mr. Ogren explained the proposed plan to those in attendance, and

and discharged in the brook to the West of the site. There could also be
a water discharge line in a southerly direction if Cedar Glen Associates
approval is obtained.

when the legal right to do so is obtained, if the Board so desires.

A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the problems anticipated in
the area.
Several of the residents on Sanborn Lane stated they are having
serious drainage problems since Mr. Rivers cleared the wooded area.
Mr. Rivers stated he could extend a loom berm on the road.
The abuttors desire to have Mr. Rivers state his intentions for
rectifying these situations in writing.
Several of the abuttors were particularly concerned with the
safety of the chidren in the area during the construction period.
Mr. Rivers stated that under certain conditions he would have a
police detail be present during the construction.
Mr. Harold Hulse of the Conservation Commission stated the
Commission discussed and decided that if there were any choice, the
alternative for the drainage for these six house lots would be in the

designed to handle any possible future drainage in that area.
