Board reviewed a• Plan for Waldor Realty for lots on Williams Street, it was noted he wants a 650 foot cul de sac as under the new regulations. The Board had requested an alternative plan showing a different layout of the road. 20. Board reviewed a plan for the Mansfield Fish and Game Association. They will have an article in the special Town Meeting to swap a piece of land with the Town of Mansfield. Agreement of the trade will be that if there comes a time when the Fish and Game does not want the land then it will revert back to the Town. The note on the plan is unclear in that it seems to state that the Fish and Game will receive both parcels, and does not indicate any swap. There is nothing to indicate what will happen to the triangular parcel that overlaps each parcel. 21.

Planner Wellington also noted that the newly installed advertising sign Is in the wrong location. Town Planner will write Mr. Stivaletta of this fact and refer to the Board's letter of April 18 requesting to review the layout of the planting and wall installation prior to construction. It was suggested that some form could be worked out to give to developers when their plan is approved, to be kept on site, and as each job is inspec- ted it could be checked off by the proper person. 23. The Board will hold a work session meeting on Wednesday, May 31 at 7PM to review the Prbposed subdivision regulations. 24. Town Planner Maurer advised that several people had come to him asking about zoning changes and stating that local realtors had approched them about selling their land and giving false information about future zoning changes and how it would effect their parcel. Town Planner will draft a press release to correct the situation. -5- 25. Bob Button of the Civil Defense had requested that the Board consider sharing their telephone with the Civil Definse with the possibility that Civil Defense will pick up 50% of the phone bill.
