5. Witch Pond Estates
Acting Clerk Genatossio informed the board that the Foxboro Planning Board
has arranged a site walk for Thursday, May 12, 1983, at 5:30 P.M., and
the Mansfield Planning Board members are invited. It was the concensus
of the board to join Foxboro in this site walk. They will meet at Joseph
Brugliera's office at 5:20 P.M. Acting Clerk Genatossic, also informed the
board that after the site walk, the board members are invited back to
attend the Foxboro Planning Board's meeting to discuss the subdivision.
She also said that she attended the Foxboro Planning Board's meeting of
Thursday, May 5, 1983. At that meeting, it was pointed out that there is
no access from the Mansfield area. Also Mansfield does not have water
within 400 feet. It was also pointed out that the Foxboro board holds
public hearings for preliminary subdivision plans. This subdivision is
not only located in two towns, but it crosses county lines. Planner
Brugliera pointed out that some of the roads are not showing a cul-de-sac
at the end. They just come to a stop. The abutting land is owned by Boro
Sand and Stone. He pointed out that the applicant will have to inform the
board as to his plans, i.e., future development into land owned by Boro
Sand and Stone. Planner Brugliera also said that Plain Street is not shown
on the locus, and it should be. Plain Street goes under Rt. 95 and connects
to West Street. West Street and Rt. 95 are both shown on the locus. Acting
Clerk Genatossio asked the Town Engineer if he could attend the site walk
with the Planning Board. Hopefully, he will attend. Since the deadline
date on this subdivision is 6-14-83, it was the concensus of the board to
send another memorandum to the Department Heads regarding their comments
on this subdivision.

Cabot's Pond
There was some discussion regarding the status of Cabot's Pond. Town
Counsel took the file to review, and he was going to send both Allen
Willis and Robert Chavaree a letter. Planner Brugliera said that they
haven't answered any of the board's letters; therefore, it seems as
though they are not going to complete the project. He suggested putting
a lean on the property. Planner Brugliera will contact John Dwyer on
Thursday regarding the status of Cabot's Pond.
Michael -Angela Estates
The board received a certificate of approval for Michael -Angela Estates.
There were two stipulations on this which are: (1) Consult with the
Chief of Police regarding entrance and egress markings; and (2) Installa-
tion of at least 2' of sand filter beneath each disposal system. It was
pointed out that Keith Johnson said that the sand is fine and it will
filter out septage; but it will not take care of pesticides, ect. He
also said he would like to see the second information package which the
developer gave to the Foxboro Planning Board. The Mansfield Planning
Board should then give this to Whitman & Howard to review. Margot
Jellinek informed the board that she is on the Board of Selectmen's
agenda regarding this. She feels they are very interested in it, and
they may appeal it. She pointed out that this was approved on
April 28, 1983. In the paper it did not say that the subdivision was
approved. She also pointed out that the letter which the board received
from Whitman & Howard was not followed up.
