SPECIAL PLANNING BOARD MEETING
April 3, 1972
The Mansfield Planning Board held a special meeting on April 3, 1972 in
the Auditorium of the Mansfield High School following the 1972 Annual
Town Meeting.
Present: Chairman Wellington, Clerk Latham
Planners: Nelson, MacFarlane, Chavaree, Grant and Mendes
Town Planner Maurer
The following vote was taken by consensus of the members present regarding the
Definitive Subdivision Plan for Oak Leaf Estates:
That the Plan for Oak Leaf Estates be disapproved for the following reasons:
1. Because this Plan proposed future development in the towns of Norton and
Mansfield and because a road will connect the two towns and because the
Mansfield portion of the road Oakleaf Drive is 1,546 feet in length, which
exceeds the provisions of Section IV -4 Dead End Streets, which states that
"Dead end streets shall not be longer than 500 feet...." The Mansfield
Planning Board will not consider approving this plan until the necessary
steps are taken to insure that a 1,546 foot dead end street will not be
established on the Mansfield side of the development. Approval of Oakleaf
Drive in Mansfield for its entire length will be contingent upon approval
of the Plan, with appropriate conditions, by the Norton Planning Board.
2. There have, been no provisions made for the bonding or covenant of the
roadways on the Mansfield side of the development.
3. The road profile for Oakleaf Drive shows a cut which, in the opinion of the
Planning Board, is too low and should be raised.
4. The cul-de-sac entitled Oakleaf Terrace should be eliminated.
5. The existing high water elevations of Hodges Brook were not noted on the
Plan.
(Chavaree, Grant, Latham, Mendes in favor; MacFarlane opposed, Nelson not voting)
