Meeting of the Board of Survey opened at 8:00 P.M. in
Room 16, Municipal Building.
Present were Chairman Kenney, Secretary Cochrane, Board
Members Florence and Watt and Superintendent Welch.
Public hearing was held regarding the acceptance of
lines and grades of Osborne Avenue which runs from Pleasant Street
in a northerly direction, a distance of 522 feet more or less to a
dead end.
Mr. James T. Putnam telephoned to state that due to ill-
ness he would be unable to attend the hearing to represent Mr. and
Mrs. Edward Small. The Board of Survey had been advised by the
Board of Health that it disapproved the plan due to raw sewage
seeping into the open brook which passes through the proposed sub-
division. Therefore, Mr. Florence moved, Mr. Cochrane seconded
and it was voted that the proposed plan on Osborne Avenue off
Pleasant Street be disapproved.
The Board conferred with Mr. and Mrs. James C. Nagel,
5 James Road, regarding the erection by Mr. L. J. Peabody, De-
veloper, of a retaining well on their property abutting Whitehall
Lane. Mr. Nagel was informed that the Board of Survey could not
force either Mr. Peabody or Mr. Kiley to build the retaining wall
which he desires.
The Board signed agreements between the Board of Survey
of the Town of Reading and Dana Realty, Inc. covering Colonial
Estates and between the Board of Survey of the Town of Reading
and Reading Development Corporation covering Franklin Estates.
The agreement between the Board of Survey and Charles
B. Stamatis Building Inc. covering Belmont Park Development was
not signed. Mr. Stamatis will be invited to confer with the
Board on July 20 at 7:30 P.M, for further discussion of the Sub-
division.
Meeting adjourned at 8:50 P.M.
