Avenue, Berlin, Conn., owned and developed by Redco, Inc., 747 Farmington Ave.,

The Engineering Dept. reported that this map is substantially the same as the map
to which we gave preliminary approval et the Hay 5 Meeting.
One remaining p~oblem to be resolved is the right-of-way to a brook tn park lend
owned by the City ~f New Britain. This m-o-w ia needed for storm drainage prim-
roses. Masers Johnson stated that they have discussed w~th the ~ew Britain Perk
Board end they are willing to give Redco the necessary r-o-w but that the
legalities will take time, and in the meantime they would be willing to give
Redo a letter atating the L~ intent. Mr. Roeso reported on a phone conversation
with Mr. Haskil who stated that the letter would be forthcoming but would not be
ready for tonight's meeting. Messrs. Johnson would like approval of this plan
subject to receipt of the letter. This r-o-w would be transferred to the Town of
Berlin either at the time the roads in the subdivision are accepted by the Town
or it can be given directly to the Town by the City of ~ew Britain.
Mr. Creapo (adjoining Tarragrosa property) appeared and asked whether or not the
Johneona plan to develop ~ewton Avenue extension as far as the common boundary
between the two properties o~ onl~ as far es the boundary of the "g~een belt" in
the Johnson ~roperty. Messrs. Johnson do not believe it would be of benefit
to them to build the road beyond the brook and are therefore planning to de~d-en~
Newton Ave. with s cul-de-sac et the line of the ~green belt". It was the
consensus of the Planning Commission that this subject should be up to the
Planning Commission for action. The subject tonight is Section I Grsndvlew which
which does not tncl~deethia portion of ~ewton St. extension.
It wes note~ that location of sidewalks does not appear on the map.
Mr. Rosso made a motion, seconded by Mr. Bennerup to forecast final approval
subject to:

on all streets within tbs subdivision.
