BRIAR HILL SUBDIVISION
The secretary presented the affidavit of publication of notice
of Public Hearing as published in the Daily Times on May 9, 1962.
The Chairman then asked if any person wished to be heard
on this application.
Mr. Straub , speaking for the Bonnie Weaver Civic Assoc-
iation, stated that the Association would be most appreciative
if Mr. Sumetz and the Planning Board would consider changing
the name of the street Briar Hill Lane. He said that there were
so many similarly named streets that they felt it was most con-
fusing.
The secretary then read a letter from the Bonnie Weaver
Civic Association signed by Sheldon S. Turk, secretary, making
the same request.
Mr. Sumetz said that if it was agreeable to the Board he
would change the name of the street to Park Hill Lane. This
the Board found satisfactory.
Mr. Bloom then asked if Mr. Sumetz was going to comply
with his request and deed a strip 10 feet wide on the rear of
the property to the Town to be used in connection with the
County Land Program.
Mr. Sumetz replied that on advice of his counsel he did not
feel that he could do this.
There followed quite a discussion as to the pros and cons
of this situation.

on the application, the Chairman declared the hearing closed and
announced that decision on this application would be reserved.
