road was only 504 feet to the end of the Cul-de-sac. Planner Nelson informed
Mr. Holman that the new regulations allow up to 650 feet for a dead end road.
Mr. Holman noted that the back land was wet area so they would remain at the
504 feet. Mr. Holman pointed out that they have the requirdd 120 foot frontage
on ,all lots.
Clerk Grant questioned if the lots were intended for single-family dwellings.
Mr. Holman stated that they were. Mr. Holman stated that the conditions of a
25 ;year storm ata maximum would be no more than 2 cubic feet of run-off per
second on about two acres of land.
it was noted that some of the abutters names would have to be updated. It
was further noted that the name of Highland Street was already being used
in Mansfield so the name of the road would have to be changed.
Clerk Grant noted that the 35 foot radius was not tangent at the intersection
at Elm Street. Clerk Grant informed Mr. Holman that all that is required by
the Planning Board is 30 foot radius. Mr. Holman stated that he would correct
this to make it tangent. Mr. Holman requested a letter stating the corrections
be sent to Landmark Engineering Co. of New England as well as to the applicant.

Forbes Boulevard as per their motion at the meeting of June 27, 1973.
8. Board met with Walter Millette and Ralph Maloon, Engineer, to discuss Circle
"C" Estates Defintive Subdivision Plan. Mrs. Jellinek also requested to discuss
the Circle "C" Estates Definitive Subdivision Plan. Engineer Malbon stated
there was not much difference between the Preliminary Plan and the Definitive
Plan except they were one lot less. Mrs. Jellinek requested to see the Pre-
liminary Plan as well.
Mrs. Jellinek questioned why the Planning Board had not signed the Preliminary
Subdivision Plan. Chairman Zaffini informed her that they had requested the
signature from the owner of the property on the Form B application, which they
never received. All that was received was a letter from the owner of the
property giving permission to process theplan. It was noted that the owner
has signed the Form C application for the Definitive Subdivision Plan.
Mrs. Jellinek questioned the elevation of the water hole in'the ,,rear of the
subdivision. Mr. Maloon stated that it is approximately 150 feet and it
a manmade. hole. Mrs. Jellinek questioned how deep the hole was. Mr. Maloon
stated that it was approximately 5 feet above the level of the swamp. Mrs.
Jellinek questioned the elevation of Maverick Drive. Mr <Maloonn stated that
there was a hill that is a little higher than Mrs. Jellineks property, however
there will be a cut in that area. They have planned a 4-1 slope. Mr. Maloon
stated that the elevation at the peak of the hill was 168 feet. Mrs. Jellinek
questioned the highest elevation on Morgan Road. Mr. Maloon stated that the
highest elevation was out near West Street.
Mrs. Jellinek stated that in the Planning Board minutes of May 1 that Mr.
Millette proposes to take 17,000 yards of gravel off the site. Mr. Millette
stated that before he purchased the property he had his engineer do a
topographic plan to see if there was enough material in the subdivision to
take care of the filling. 'Mr. Miatette,stated that he is not interested in
a gravel permit or moving material out of the site, except maybe enough for
a driveway someplace else in Town, but no great amount. The 17,000 yards
of loam is surplus after it has all be filled, but it can be used in the
subdivision, easily.
Mrs. Jellinek noted that they would be sloping down at her property line and
questioned if they are going to make a retaining wall so that her land would
not fall. Mr. Malbort=stated that they are going to leave a 4-1 slope, which
does not require any walls.
Mrs. Jellinek pointed out that in the Planning Board minutes of May 1st, on
page 7 it reads that the radius of 97 feet and it should be 93 feet. Mr.
Millette informed Mrs. Jellinek that there is no necessity in going to court
because the point of intersection has been rectified.

Mr. Millette stated that he would like it to go on record ,that he is trying
his hardest to answer Mrs. Jellineks questions. Mrs. Jellineks point was
from the point of the lot line to the point of the PC there was a 93 foot
frontage. Mrs. Jellinek objected to this and Mr. Millette in turn came over
to the point of intersection and gave Mrs. Jellinek the required 120 foot
frontage on lot 1. Mr. Millette pointed out that if this plan is approved they
will get an easement transfentexdi and they will still have the 120 foot frontage.
Clerk Grant requested the Minutes of May 1st, 1973 Page 3, Item -'17, Line 6
to read 93 feet instead of 97 feet.
Planner Latham questioned the 50 foot right-of-way on the end of Maverick Drive.
it was noted that this right-of-way will go with lot 20 but it is to provide
access to the land of Robert Eames, �3cPlanner Latham noted that they would not
have the proper frontage on lot 20 if this was done. Planning Director Maurer
stated he felt it should be an easement with a note that it is an access to
the land of Eames and not a right-of-way, for constant use.
9. Mr. Millette+stated that he would like to see-aboutr§ettfng the remainder of
the monies being held for Pine Needle Park and Leonard Street. Mr. Maloon
noted on Leonard street that they do not have the finished grade elevation on
the manhole installed by the Town as it has not been raised to grade. Mr.
Maloon stated that the 'as built' plans should be ready by Monday, July 16, 1973.
Mr. Millette questioned if the 'as built' plans were submitted if the monies
could be released without waiting for the Board to meet again in two weeks.
Chairman Zaffini stated that the Board would get back to them on this matter.

informed the Board that he had sent the plan back to them twice for more
information such as the locus plan, zone classification, and signature block.
It was noted that there was only room for one signature on the plan. it was
noted that the engineering stamp did not have a number. On the application
there is no plat and parcel number for the assessors. There is a discrepancy
between the title on the plan and the name of the owner on the Form A appli-
cation.
13. Board reviewed the letter from Bristol Equipment to Bella Construction,
regarding the finishing of Leonard Street. Planning Director Maurer informed
the Board that a triangle had been left unpaved because of a pole in the

Construction just wanted to let the Planning Board know they had sent a letter
out on this.

14. Planning Director Maurer informed the Board that he had spoken with Jim
Sanders from Bristol Equipment about two weeks ago and he said they would
be paving in about a week or sorin Magna Vista Subdivision. Planning
Director Maurer informed the Board that this still has not been done,
and the three residents that live on that particular:part of Darby Drive
are still complaining as it has not even been graded. Planning Director
Maurer informed the Board that the Town takes bids the first of every year
for paving and suggested that maybe it could go towards the completion
of Darby Drive. It was noted that there is a bond in the amount of $10,000
being held for this work, which is not enough to cover the costs.
Planner Nelson stated that he felt the Board should tell Bristol Equipment
that they are going to consider this road when they want to do other work
in the Town. Planning Director Maurer suggested that they tell him that
they will not permit him to do any more work within the Town until this is
completed. Planner Macfarlane suggested getting an opinr,on from Town
Counsel to see if this was legal. It was the consensus of the Board that
a letter should be sent to Town Counsel to see if the Planning Board can
prohibit Bristol Equipment from working within the Town until this road
has been completed.
15. Planning Director Maurer informed the Board that they have a copy of the
plan for the Recreation Area within Magna; Vista and questioned if it could
be recorded without the deed as Mr. D' Annolfo has not returned the signed
deed to the Town. It.was noted that it could not be recorded without a
deed.
Motion: To have Planning Director Maurer call Mr. D'Annolfo and see if
he could send the signed deed 'back as soon as possible so that
it can be recorded with the Pian at the Registry of Deeds.

17. Board met with Mr. Doug King to discuss the Subdivision Plan for Canoe
River Acres. Mr. King informed the Board that they are putting the drainage
in and they are about 3/4 of the way done now. Mr. King stated that they
are doing it in accordance with the plan and before he will pay the persons
doing the work he would like a letter from the Planning Board stating that
the installation would be accepted. Mr. King stated that they are putting
1 foot of stone under the drain and the water is running under the stone
into the ditch and in very heavy rain it runs through the pipe.
Planning Director Maurer noted in his Memorandum to the Planning Board that
he suggested to the Board that-lf,.they are going to approve any of it it
will be only for the portion of Canoe River Drive which is completed.
Mr. King informed the Board that the lots percolation was 2 inches in six
minutes. Chairman Zaffini noted that the Planning Directors memorandum
suggested that they give Mr. King a letter that the drain has been installed
in conformance with the Plan but that the final approval will not be given
until the test holes are dug.
Planner MacFarlane stated that he fce.It that the Planning Board had nothing
to do with Mr. King paying his workers so his request was unnecessary.

Planning Director Maurer stated that the water is flowing through the ditch
but he is unable to say if it is lowering the water table. Planner Nelson
suggested the possiblity+e of Planner Wellington inspecting the system.
Planner Wellington stated that he wants some kind of report that shows
that the water table has been lowered.
Chairman Zaffini stated that the Board would discuss this and get back to
Mr. King with a reply. Chairman Zaffini stated that he really could not
see where the Planning Board can say that it is actually working properly
and what that would actually have to do with Mr. King payingthe contractor.
Mr. King stated that Planning Director Maurer had witnessed it working.
Planning Director Maurer stated that it was working at the level of the
water table now but he did not know-how it would be at a higher water table.
Clerk Grant stated that by law the Planning Board is supposed to have a
letter from the Board of Health before they can approve the plan. Planning
Director Maurer pointed out that in Mr. Kings lawyers letter of April 23,
1973 that Mr. King was required to install the entire subdrain system
indicated on the plan. When this sytem is installed and is shown to be
working property the Definitive Subdivision Plan will be approved on the
basis of the test results. Clerk Grant noted that one of the stipulations
in Mr. Kings letter was that the entire system be installed-. MrtKing
questioned who would be witnessing the test pits. It was noted that the
holes would be dug bye, =Mr. King and witnessed by an Agent of the Planning
Board. Planner Wellington stated that it should be discussed and get back
to Mr. King later.

20. Board discussed the request of Douglas A. King for a letter stating that
the drainage had been installed properly on Canoe River Drive. Planner
Wellington stated that he felt his attorney's letter noted that he will
complete the entire system,and felt the Board should quote his own letter
that the Board will not consider the system complete until the test holes
are dug. Planning Director Maurer informed the Board that Mr. King had
asked him in the field if he could install the water line and the Board
noted that if he did he would be doing it at his own risk and the Water
Department could not inspect it until the plan was approved. It was noted
that percolation tests had been dug on each lot but the results have not
been received from the Board of Health.
Motion: To send a letter to Mr. King stating that what has been installed
has been installed properly and "the proper functioning of the
sub -drain system will be determined on the basis of test holes
to be dug on each lot in the subdivision." after the system has
been installed in its entirety.

25. Planner Dunn questioned if there was money in the budget for refurbishing
the microfilm account. =:Planning Director Maurer noted that the money in
the account was for a microfilm reader. -printer and that all of the microfilm
is labeled as to what they are and the condition they are in. Most of them
are in fair to poor condition and felt that it was the quality ;of the film
and not the fact of them getting wet. Planner Dunn questioned if the Board
should be thinking of this as a Capital Improvement. Planner Nelson noted
that they had originally plannd& to have a reader -printer in the assessors
office so that people could buy copies of plans.
26. Chairman Zaffini noted that on Leonard Street, where the new sidewalk joins
with the old one, that there is a steep slope and questbned if anything could

for bikes, carriages and ped6strsians.
27. Clerk Grant lnfoerinii the Board that there would be a Capital Improvement Committee
Meeti,.ngie on Thursday, July 12, 1973, and that anyone was welcome to attend.
28. Clerk Grant noted that on the Public Law Memos it states that the Planning
Board shoUld not sign the plans for a subdivision unless the covenant or
bond is placed on them. Clerk Grant also noted that the Planning Board
is not supposed to sign a plan until the Board of Health signs it first.
Planning Director Maurer stated that they have an agreement with the Board
of Health on this and if it is on public sewer it has 45 days to take action.
When it is not on public sewer they have no time limit but they know the
Planning Board has a timelimit and will have approval or disapproval before
the Planning Board time expires.
29. Planning Director Maurer informed the Board that he spoke with Mr. Rizzo
regarding his Form A Plan on WaysiderDrive. Mr. Rizzo informed Planning;Dlrector
that he does not wish to rescind his subdivision plan signed in 1971, and
if the Planning Board requests it, he will give them an extension of time for
signing the,Form A Plan, or he would withdraw the plan. Mr. Rizzo Informed
the Planning Director that he would make easements for the utilities and the
drainage line that is already installed. Town Counsel has informed the
Planning Director that if they are going to rescind the subdivision plan
it should be done with conditions which Mr. Rizzo has to agree to, such as
the Town not being responsible for the water line and drainage. Mr. Rizzo
informed the Planning Director that he is not certain if he wants to go in
with apartments or put in duplexes. It was the consensus of the Board to
still send a letter to Mr. Rizzo stating that the Booed refuses to sign the
Form A plan as they are waiting a letter from Town Counsel regarding the status
of the utilities already installed.
30.Clerk Grant questioned if the Memorandum to the Citizens of Mansfield from the
Town Clerk regarding the Zoning Amendments had been posted in five public places
