Attorney Moody introduced Mr. John R. Farren, Land Surveyor, Plymouth, MA who prepared the site plans for the proposed project. Attorney Moody and Mr. Farren answered questions from the Board pertaining to the location of the property being at the entrance to Nelson Park (Nelson Street Playground), and the proposed sidewalk easement.
