Minutes of previous meeting read and approved.
Preliminary Hearing held at 8 :00 P. M. on preliminary approval
.� - of Timberneck Drive, from Charles Street to near Tamarack (Private)
Road. Present were the developer of Timberneck Drive, Mr. Paul Carpen-
ters, and his engineer, Mr. Chester A. Putnam. After some discussion
of the physical difficulties engendered in the development of Timber-
neck Drive, it being partially located in a low, swampy area requiring
a fill of as much as eleven feet in some locations, Mr. Carpenteri
voluntarily agreed to install all lot drains required for proper drain-
age, including easements for drainage on lot lines. Moved, seconded
and voted to hold advertised hearing for final approval of Timberneck
Drive in location above described, subject to compliance of developer
with rules and regulations of the Board of Survey and the Subdivision
Control Law, Chapter 41 of the General Laws as amended.
Preliminary hearing held at 8 :30 P. M. on preliminary approval
of proposed development situated between Oak Ridge Road, Pine Ridge
Road, Walnut Street and lands of Walter S. Hopkins, Jr, and consisting
of four proposed streets called Maple Ridge Road, Ash Hill Road, Hem-
lock Road, and Balsam Road, comprising 57 house lots .
Present at the hearing was C. Sumner Teel the developer.
After some discussion of the physical difficulties apparent in
the development, because of dead and streets, drainage and grades, it
was moved, seconded and doted to-turn the plans, with suggested oorrec.
. tions, over to Mr. Teel for revision before advertisinm for a final
hearing.
Preliminary hearing held at 8:45 P. M. on tentative approval of
an unnamed street off Charles Street Southerly of Dana (Private) Road,
owned by Mr. Carl 0. Olson. As plan as presented did not conform to
Board of Survey rules and regulations, No action was taken on this
preliminary hearing.
Preliminary hearing held at 9:15 P. M. on approval of Jay Street,
off Pine Ridge Road. No one appeared at hearing. Certain recommenda-
tions suggested by Superintendent agreed to by Board, with instructions
to the Superintendent to transmit same to the developer, Francis M.
Kiley.
Preliminary hearing held at 9:30 P. M. on tentative approval of
• extension. of Mark (Private) Avenue and Laurel (Private) Lane, being
developed by George M. McSheehy.
After some discussion, it was moved, seconded and voted to deviate..
from the rule requiring turn-arounds at the end of dead endstreetsre-
garding Mark Avenue and Laurel Lane, as it was believed that eventually
these two streets, if now dead-ended, would eventually become through
streets, Mark Avenue outletting on Margaret (Private) Road and Laurel
Lane autletting on Robert (Proposed) Road. It was therefore moved, se-
conded and voted that Mark Avenue be dead-ended at Margaret (Private)
Road and Laurel Lane be dead-ended at Robert (Proposed) Road, with no
turn-arounds required on either street.
Board adjourned at 9:45 P. M.
