Minutes
October 17, 1973
i 10. Board met with Charles Francis,from Ryan & Elliott and Lou Gerriere, the
engineer, to discuss the proposed revisions in the approved subdivision
plan for Mansfield Industrial Park Realty Trust.
The plans were as follows: the revision in the rail line to service
Owens Illinois which necessitates the moving of the rail across the
ditch. A note should be added to the plan stating that the easement
will also be revised.
Engineer Gerriere presented a pian showing the proposed revision In the
street plans showing the drainage to the Corrofab property. It was noted
that the drain pipe from Corrofab pitches toward the Corrofab property and
there is a 5 inch drop in elevation toward Corrofab. Mr. Francis noted
that this amendment was being done at the request of Corrofab who had
already paved their parking lot to drain in this direction. Planner
Wellington noted that the pipe could be installed under the railroad track
and go into the ditch on the westerly side of the track. Mr. Francis noted
that he thought there was a pipe there, but that he was not sure. It was
the consensus of the board to request that more information be obtained
relative to the grades in that area before they make a decision on the plan.
Engineer Gerriere noted that a draftsman in his office had erased the
Planning Board's signature from the original linen. It was noted on the
Sepia copy that the original had been signed.
Engineer Gerriere also presented a plan showing the revision of the retention
area as requested by the Massachusetts DPW. He presented a letter from the
DPW indicating their approval of this project.
Ii. Planning Director noted that regarding Canoe River Acres, Douglas King is
getting ready to put in the additional sub -drainage system requested by the
Board on the lots. Mr. King wanted to know if a 4 inch perforated Mastic
pipe would be acceptable. It was noted that he should use 6 inch pipe.
12. Planner Dunn 'discussed a meeting he attended at Wheaton College relative to
the Affirmative Action Program for the Town's eligibility to receive Federal
funds pending the hiring of minority and disadvantaged persons.
13. Meeting adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
