Board reviewed the memorandum from the Downtown Advisory Committee regarding the opening of Old Colony Way for through traffic and parking. It wasnoted that at 8:00 P.M. the Board of Selectmen would be holding a public hearing on this request. Planner Mahana questioned how this would coincide with the request of the Downtown Traffic Study Committee. Planning Director Maurer noted that it is consistent in the fact that they want to utilize the Old Colony Way for circulation. However, it is inconsistent in the fact that it does not go all the way through to East Street and there will also be parking. Planning Director Maurer noted that this is only a temporary proposalbecause they are aware of the fact that the sewer interceptor will go through there. Planner Mahana noted that there should be a time limit of perhaps 6 months. It was noted that if it did not work out they should not have to stick with it for 6 months. Motion: To recommend to the Board of Selectmen that the proposal of the Downtown Advisory Committee be approved for the opening of Old Colony Way for through traffic and parking for a trial period.

Mr. Clemmey left the meeting. Motion: To notify Mr. Clemmey that they have accepted the method of deeding the land back to himself. However, they would like a certification from the Registry of Deeds that the deeds have been recorded. (Hartmann-Lesuer, all in favor) VOTED 5.

Board met with Ralph Maloon to discuss preliminary subdivision plan for Rumford!River Estates which was disapproved by the Board on December 8, 1976. Mr. Maloon presented a roadway sketch to the Board which proposed two one-way streets with an island of trees. Question was raised as to who would maintain the island. Mr. Maloon questioned if he could prepare the definitive plan with the existing elevations being the proposed elevations after the gravel is removed. It was the consensus of the Board that this could be done, however, he would have to verify the finished grade, when the earth removal operation is completed. It was the consensus of the Board to eliminate the island with the two one-way traffic lanes. Board questioned if the subdivision plan was to get the gravel out of the 100 foot buffer. It was noted that the earth removal operation would be in two phases and that the subdivision should also be that way. It was the consensus of the Board to review the preliminary plan informally and that this would not require a new submission. 9. Board met with Mrs. Jellinek to discuss the W.R.C. Properties, Inc. (Planner Hartmann left the meeting and did not participate in any discussion.)
