Discussion.
1) When you come down road between lots 4,5,6, and 7 and
make curve, what about icy mornings? It was stated
that the distance of 500' until curve would have
t�people not traveling at a high rate of speed, so stop-
ping should be no problem on those mornings. Compar-
ing to Crystal Drive where it's a quarter of a mile
straight down to stop at Route 38. Also grade here
is 10% to 13% of Crystal Drive.
2) Mr. Lavine's concern about access road from couple
driveways in winter with plowing and freezing. Also
Health Departments decision. It was pointed out by
Mr. Schlecht, that with new Health Department regula-

few houses constructed.
Mr. Dann wondered how much road should be approved for de-
veloping at one time.
Mr. Wfnn stated that phasing could be done in three stages
with possibility of twelve lots in first stage. They would have
no objections of bUllding in stages as long as whole plan is
approved. Also financially, they would be glad to build the road
as lots are sold for development.
Mr. Dann made motion to approve map presented and seconded
by D. Kibel.
Decision: all planning board members (5) voted yes except
Mr. Bonn, who abstained.
