II. WORK SESSION
1248 & 1258 Whitman Street
The Board discussed the Certification of Action for the 1248 & 1258 Whitman Street subdivision and referred to a September 1, 2001 letter from review engineer, Michael Perrault of P.M.P. Associates of East Bridgewater. The bulk of the discussion centered on a waiver request from the applicant for the shifting of the roadway within the subdivision. Following a lengthy discussion of safety measures and access from this proposed subdivision on to Route 58, which is a heavily traveled roadway, the Board’s summation of the shifting roadway issue was to deny the waiver requested by the applicant from Section 6.5.3 Street Curves, Hanson Planning Board Rules and Regulations governing the subdivision of land.
