Community Development Director LaCasse discussed possible cases where the Plan- ning Board might want to grant waivers for the road length when it is more than 650'. Mike specifically mentioned the subdivisions being proposed off Route 106. Patrolman Lance Lawson had recommended that the Planning Board try to cut down on some of the entrance /exits on Route 106.
