i <br /> r <br /> Association, Jim Gardner. Board members reviewed the correspondence provided. Mr. Fudala <br /> read for the record Mr. Clayson's letter,on behalf of the Address Worl ing Croup, requesting the <br /> name change from Beechwood Point give to Santuit Pond way due to another street named <br /> Beechwood Drive located on the other side of Santuit Pond. Mr. Fudala stated that a.meeting <br /> .had occurred with residents on April 22, and a decision was made that Beechwood Point Drive <br /> would be changed to Santuit Pond way so that residents could maw ntain their current building. <br /> and unit addresses. lir_ Gardner's later was read for the record by Mr. Fudala. <br /> Mr. Fudala stated that the change was being made for public safety reasons since two similarly <br /> named roads, located significantly far from one another, could present a problem with the <br /> reporting of an incident. Ir. Fudala noted that, although Beechwood Point give was created <br /> prior to the budding of the condominiums, the condominiums had been addressed in the early <br /> 1990's by the Town Clerk as 35 Santuit Fond load. Theddr sm* was the reason why the <br /> entire.complex had the same address. The agreement to change the street rye to Santuit Pond <br /> Way provided residents with the most muimmum change while satisfying the Fire Department's <br /> need. <br /> Given that the meeting room was again full with residents, Ms. waygan expressed concern that <br /> the process to rename struts was not going well and was not initiated by the Plan ning Board. <br /> Its. waygan suggested that rodent with concerns could contact the Board of Selectmen with <br /> their feedback. <br /> When inquired about the condonfim*um's adding, resident Karry Kaplan of l A confirmed the <br /> address was 1 A Beechwood Point Drive and noted that the address was changed to 3 5 Santuit <br /> Pond road, confcrrningfthat either address worked for fings. fir. Fud la confirmed that the <br /> official road name was Beechwood Point Drive but-the Town Clerk addressed the condominium <br /> units as 35 Santuit Pond toad. However, with two Beechwoods in town, emergency responders <br /> have expressed concern regarding the potential for error when reporting an emergency. Mr. <br /> Fudala ported out that the change of Beechwood Point Drive to Santuit Pond Way would be <br /> t dlowbend, changing road to wary for a simpler and safer transition. <br /> similar to the change <br /> Mr_ FuMa also sued that most residenu used the 35 Santuit Pond Road address so it made <br /> sense to change Beechwood Point Drive rather than Beechwood Drive loomed across Santuit <br /> Pond. Mr. Kaplan expressed concern regarding the expense of malting the change which would <br /> involve 52 residents. Mr. Fudala confirmed that deed transfers should have already converted <br /> the properties to 35 Santuit Pond Road. lair. Flan inquired why-it would not b6 the expense o <br /> the town to make the changes, rather than to the residents. lir. Fudala confirmed that the'Town <br /> could pay for the street sign. <br /> Ms. Waygan referenced roads with extensions and inquired whether the address could be <br /> changed to Santuit Pond Road Extension but resident response indicated that it would still be <br /> name change. fir. haat the easiest change seemed to be converting the road to <br /> Santuit Pond way. <br /> Rick Mc ghee, 3 5 Santuit Pond Road, confirmed that 3 5 Santuit Pond load was luted on his <br /> deed. Mr. FudaLa stated that the legal name of the street was c uxently Beechwood Point Drive <br /> and it was not possible to have two sepuate roads with the same name of Santuit Pond Road. <br /> 2 <br />
