        Spring Town Meeting Article 39 – Street Acceptances
The Board received the following documentation* for review of this case:
Memo from Town Engineer, dated 1/26/11
List and maps of streets proposed for acceptance
Sid Kashi, presented the following streets proposed for acceptance by the Town under Article 39 for Spring Town Meeting:
Admiral Byrd Road               Admiral Halsey Road             Admiral Rickover Road
Anchor Drive                    Constitution Drive              Haven Road
Independence Street             Unity Circle                    Juniper Street
Spruce Street                   Victory Lane                    Bonney Briar Drive
Kennedy Parkway         Truman Avenue           Hoover Street
Eisenhower Way          Johnson Lane                    Fitzgerald Avenue
Beacon Street                   Birchwood Avenue                Hughes Street
Filmore Street          Santo Street                    East Russell Mills Road
Armstrong Road Ext.             Commerce Way
The total length of streets to be accepted is slightly below 6 miles.  The Town will be receiving $5000 per mile (approximately $30,000) from the State under Chapter 90 funding for these roads which is in addition to the $1.1 million already received.  The Chapter 90 funds are used for treatment of existing roads which includes crack sealing, chip sealing, and pavement preservation.  Acceptance of the streets allows the Town to expend public funds for maintenance, repair, and paving.  Public funds cannot be used on unaccepted private roads.  The Town will continue to plow private roads.
Tim Grandy stated that the Road Advisory Committee supports this proposal.
Bill Wennerberg moved to recommend approval of Article 39; the vote was unanimous (3-0).

BOA 3623 – Plymouth Regional Economic Foundation, Inc.
        Hedges Pond Road/Map 55, Lot 25
        Modification of SP #3545, subject to EDC, in order to excavate materials and to amend requirements and conditions
This review was continued to February 28, 2011 at the petitioner’s request.
