Minutes were read from the meeting of October 19, 1970. Motion by Planner Latham seconded by Planner Nelson to accept the minutes as read, all in favor. Letter, was received from the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District to the Board of Selectmen requesting information on Town projects for 1971.

Mr. Maloon told the Board it would drain into the brook which goes into Canoe River. Question was raised by the Board as to how much fill would be required before they, would be able to build on the land. Town Planner 'Maurer 'asked what the building architectual elevations were. Mr. Maloon ad- vised,him that the plan was not complete and they; just wanted to hear comments from the Board.. Discussion was held on the size of water mains. Chairman Mendes advised Mr. Maloon and Mr. Marinelli that he was against the complex because of low land, dead-end road which would mean a dead-end water pipe and if the road ever became the property of the Town it would mean a dead end street to plow. And that, by draining into Canoe River more drainage problems would be created in the area. Planner Nelson said he couldn't see anything wrong with it and didn't see why he couldn't drain water into the ditch. If a water problem was holding them up ;to get together with the abuttors and clean and deepen the, ditch. Town Planner Maurer advised Mr. Marinelli that the Fire Chief and Light_Department would,;iant:.::to:.;see a floor plan of the building. -2 - Board reviewed road for Cabot, Cabot, and Forbes. Town Planner Maurer advised them that Mr. Mike Murphy had meet with him to go over the plans and that there is still information to put on the plans. 1 Hydrants. Fire Chief concerned that the Planning Board told Mr. Murphy to waiver putting hydrants in until they receive committments for buildings. Fire Chief would like to see hydrants installed as road is constructed, and would like them located in the road. Board told Mr. Murphy to put hydrants on private property at descretion of Fire Chief. Planner Nelson recommended that we ask the Fire Chief to meet with the Board., Planner Nelson felt ;Board had made a mistake by letting them go ahead without an approved plan, and that we should have had a definite plan. Board feels that on a large road there is no need to have hydrants every 400 to 500 feet. Town Planner Maurer advised the Board he had talked with the Water Supt. and he would like to see them in as road is constructed to avoid problems. 2. Town Planner Maurer advised the Board that Cabot, Cabot, and Forbes agreed to a water gate every thousand feet. 3. Town Planner Maurer asked if it is necessary for Cabot, Cabot, and Forbes to show on the profile the existing side lines of the street. Planner Wellington said he didn't know what good it would now, as the road is all cut. Board advised Town Planner they only have to show'the s�,,e lines. X4. Discussion was held on the radius. Planner Wellington felt there should be at least+.a 50 foot curved radius at the curb 5. Town Planner Maurer advised the Board they want to put in block manhole or poured manhole, whichever Board 'prefers. Board felt they should be poured and that they will give them specifi- cations at a later date. 6. Town Planner Maurer asked if the Board wanted to see the final plans before they advertise for the hearing. Board advised him that when the plans are completed and presented to them they will review them and then advertise for the Hearing. Town Planner Maurer advised the Board that he had invited the Board of Selectmen to meet with the Board. He told the Board he received a call from the Chairman, Peter Saunders and that he had informed him that the sewer study meeting had been a very rushed meeting and that they do not have any reports on the proposal as it is a We -preliminary report and that when they get.'.more details they will meet with the Board. He also talked about Maple Street and said they are agreeable they should meet with us but they are waiting as they are trying to get more money. He also mentioned two other areas he felt we should discuss: modification of sand and gravel requirements and trailer housing for the elderly. Letter will be sent to them asking them to meet with the Board in two weeks. -3- kTown Planner Maurer advised the Board he had attended a meeting at the Region with everyone concerned to discuss the status of the 701 Contract. We discussed how I would schedule my time. I felt it was very reasonable with respect to completing the work that is required. The highway study is supposed to be done according to contract by outside consultant. I found that in their library they have a considerable amount of material on highways. I recommended that we consider not going for a consultant as I feel it is something that could be done by us. They would get the consultant to come in and set-up study and use him# to review work. We came to the agreement that it will be done by the Region. The Planning Board felt that there should be an adjustment made in the contract between the Region and Town if a consultant was not hired because the 'Town Planner would be putting in more time on the 701 Contract. Planner Nelson will attend Citizens Advisory Committee meeting on Thursdayp October 29. He will also speak to the Rotary Club. ,Planner Latham advised the Board that there are seven sections of pipe at Magna Vista and that they have been sitting there for three weeks waiting to be installed for the drain pipe. Motion by Planner Cinellip seconded by Planner Wojtkiewicz to adjourns all in favor.- Meeting adjourned at 10:00 PM.
