Report of Consultant Engineers on Request of l,Teighan d Necarsulmer - Carducci from Valle. The Clerk presented the following report submitted by the Acting Town Engineer in accordance with the Board's request at its October 20, 1965 meetings "I have investigated the engineering aspects of this matter and submit the following report: 1. Zoning - The property is in an R-6 Zone and with the proposed dimension would comply with R-6 requirements , but the lot sizes can not be reduced. 2. Apparently 5 of the owners fronting on 114yrtle Boulevard who own the lots directly in the rear (lots fronting on Laurel Avenue) want to maintain their Drivacy and do not ti-rant laurel Ave. cut through. They claim that their property runs to the middle of the proposed street, extending 25.01 beyond the mapped property line. That these claims are not in accord with the sellers intent would seem to be proved by the fact that the street sewers are laid in and through the property claimed. 3. Laurel Avenue (the street under discussion' has been improved with setter t'rroughout, from Thompson Street to Weaver Street. Water main has been in- stalled except ifn area under discussion. There is no gas in the street . The street has been paved from Thompson Street to cleaver Street with the exception of 669 ft. of which 361.56 ft. represents the frontage of the property under discussion. �+. This street cannot be realigned without di- minishing lot sizes which are nou at a minimum. a. The ends of Laurel Ave. are at present fixed by lines of the installed pavement. Safe curves could not be installed. b. A narrow street would be dangerous without turn around facility= or through access . c. A 25' wide street would not conform to planning requirements nor could it be accepted legally, and if the street were realigned or made narrower here the serer oiould be in private property beyond the street line. I can see no solution except to construct Laurel Avenue as originally intended. I recommend that the Town Counsellor be requested to determine what, if any, rights the claimants have to the obstructing property with a view to opening Laurel Street throughout.E4 Report included print showing condition of Laurel Street which was herewith filed for the record. -4- Since no one a=ppeared on behalf of the applicant, the Supervisor stated that the problem seemed to be basicly a legal one and the matter was therefore tabled pending further advice from the attorney for the appli- cant.
