Mr. Ogren explained that negotiations were being made with both
Labuttors on South Street in regards to the grade difference.
Mr. Rosetta indicated that he wanted the wall as shown on the
original plan with some kind of safety rail to prevent someone from
falling off.
Mr. Cormier indicated that a retaining wall would not be as
attractive as sidesloping the land, but if Mr. Rosetta wants the wall then
that is what will be constructed.

manhole) be secured to prevent anyone from getting hurt.
Mr. Fallon also asked Mr. Cormier to clean up the area alongside
Mr. Rosetta's property where pipe, debris and boulders have been placed.
Mr. Cormier indicated that allthe boulders would be removed and
the area would be regraded to blend to the existing ground condition.
Mr. Rosetta wanted to go on record as not being liable for the
retaining wall since it is within the layout of the roadway.
Superintendent Louanis explained that even though the wall is
within the roadway layout, he as an abuttor, has certain rights to the
roadway and also certain liabilities as long as it is a private way.
Mr. Ogren explained that there was an error in grade on the
original approved plan along the Locke property.

the removal of trees that would not survive.
